ENG cameras had sensors a fraction of the size of Red/5D [1] so the resultant crop factor and CCD sensors paired with not-great glass choices (mostly zoom lenses, fixed focal length rare, etc.) made nice DoF/Bokeh hard to come by, making the output of them not really look like what a lay person would say "cinema" looks like. If you want to talk real Cinema-DV options from around that time (and ignoring punk cinema stuff like Dogme 95/Harmony Korine), you're mostly talking about the Viper, which again is a six-figure camera.

> The impact was muted because people didn’t really care about 4K as much in 2007.

This is just not true. Look at the Wikipedia post here [2] and then also just look for movies shot on the One/MX/Epic. The camera was immediately adapted into hollywood feature productions.

> For example if you are wronged as a child from parent.

It is equally true that when a parent does not wrong a child, that can't be erased either. Everything that has actually happened is carved in stone in terms of material history.

What is mutable is our interpretation of that past.

> You aren't "holding" onto anything you can accept they did their best it just wasn't good enough and there just isn't any way to "reverse" that and change your childhood.

It sounds like you are holding onto the idea that there is some alternate timeline you could have lived, some superior, irreplaceable childhood that has been take from you.

You're not wrong. But the amount of time you spend ruminating on that fact and deciding what it says about who you are today is largely under your own control.

> there just isn't any way to "reverse" that and change your childhood.

There isn't any way to reverse anything in life. The only thing we have any agency over is in which direction you go forward.
> Perhaps the author merely meant it as an illustration.

Yes I too was expecting oscillations (since I saw Chebyshev polynomials mentioned on the wiki page). I'm beginning to think that the word "might" in their statement "One way to calculate is Remez’s algorithm. The results might look like this:" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

A couple of notes about your results:

- The interval only needs to be [0, pi/16] and not [0, pi/4]; adjusting that in your wolframalpha query yields a similar bound to what the author lists: 3.5 e-9. (Although same observation about the change of behavior at the bounds as you made).

- The polynomial you obtained actually looks pretty close to the Taylor one: the even coefficients are small, and rounding to 5 or 6 digits might yield a close one, maybe if we look for a degree 9 polynomial instead of degree 8. (I don't have an implementation of Remez handy right now to try it myself).

> Although of course the first few digits of the low-order matching terms will be very similar

Makes sense.
> 9/11 brought back the US Imperial Presidency

The "imperial presidency" was pretty much a linear progression for decades before 9/11; 9/11 didn't materially impact it, and definitely didn't "bring it back" as if it had gone somewhere between when it was first identified and 9/11,

It's also a tool for HR to say they have a process that they follow but then still allow all of the decisions about pay increases and performance to be entirely subjective. You miss your stretch goals, and so depending on how your manager feels at the time that's either totally acceptable and you're doing a great job, or if they need justification to shaft you then it's totally unacceptable and you didn't do the work well enough to deserve that. Same situation but totally different outcome.

I'm a full-stack web developer with 8 years experience working on everything from building interactive front-ends to MVP products from scratch. I've got experience working at every level of the stack from DB to CSS, and also have enough experience in DevOps to get the thing hosted and monitored.

I bring value as someone who operates full-stack in order to design and ship features, fixes, and improve DX. I put a lot of emphasis on repeatable processes that don't require developers to "remember how to do X" and leaves a readable paper trail of technical decisions (i.e. high-quality git logs, READMEs, etc).

I am not a "yes-man".

I push back on short-sighted technical decisions and advocate for engineering excellence. My clients are those who need technical partners, not code monkeys.

My experience with NodeJS/Typescript, React, and TailwindCSS is extensive. I have worked in many of the surrounding ecosystems and paradigms including serverless, and SSR/SSG (astro, etc). I have also done a lot of Ruby on Rails recently, in an enterprise ecosystem including integrating ActionCable, Hotwire (Turbo, Stimulus, etc).

You can kill someone and pay a max of $50k. That doesn't even cover 1 years salary for the person you killed in most cases. The insurance is mispriced because the liability is artificially low.
> Forgiveness means letting go of anger and resentment towards someone who wronged you. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or saying it was okay.

Assuming that definition why would one ever not "forgive"? What this advice in essence says is "be logical and do not let intense feelings drive your decisions".

There is a variant of this advice involving positive feelings such as "do not let the positive feelings you may have towards a charismatic sales person drive your purchase decisions / your positive feelings towards a charismatic politician drive your voting" or better still "do not let an intense infatuation cause the ruin your marriage (cheating) / ruin of your career (work place relationship) / ruin of your life (unwanted pregnancy / child)"...

Again what this advice in essence says is "be logical and do not let intense feelings (both good or bad) drive your decisions".
Well, we don't have competition because the much-vaunted doctor's union blocked how many doctors we could have so that they could keep doctor pay up. And that's not me attributing purpose. That's them saying why they did it.
This is a pretty privileged perspective.

There's also quite a difference between the ethics of healthcare and legal services.

Most of the time if you need a legal answer from a lawyer who charges like that, it's because you know you'll net more money from having the answer than it will cost to get a reply.

With healthcare, you're not trying to make money you're just trying to live.
The "Imperial Presidency" is a term that is entirely orthogonal to US imperialism, though I suppose it is possible that people are ignorant enough to downvote for both of the reasons you suggest.
This is more of a culture surrounding the language than anything else. Modern C avoids global state, prefers directly specified context and even allocation is external to the function's logic.

And testing functions is easy.

This is as opposed to procedures, I.e. functions that operate on global state with fragile conext assumptions, which almost impossible to replicate in test environments.
I just found about this project from this comment, absolutely excited to try this out.

As someone who's never used any of the infrastructure tools, I'm thinking of pyinfra as a way to run shell commands + install dependencies on hosts (declaratively?) on a bunch of hosts via ssh.

Inventory is to sort of take a self-defined inventory on a bunch of hosts?

One final question on usage, would it be possible to sync or reference files from the machine running pyinfra on the remote hosts? Or would that have to be done indirectly via running shell commands to sync?
Trust me, they are all aware of this. The problem is that, for the majority of doctors now, they do not own or control their clinics. They are either: 1)employees of the health system or 2)partners or employees of a provider's group that essentially contracts with the system to provide doctors. The doctors themselves have no real control over how their clinics operate outside of contractual negotiations.
"Affected" is a strong term. The line along which re-entry was predicted to occur is three times the circumference of the Earth (as you can see in the OP article), and a small fraction of that line passes through the borders of Germany.
having this as a model would be lovely and I agree wholeheartedly with the exposition. its interesting though to think about what impact this model would have on programming. a lot of our processing and tooling are built around the notion that programs are _almost_ right, and that we can bring them in and out - and hopefully in the process our precious data hasn't been mangled.

when we express state directly in programs, we gain a lot, but our notion of trashy disposable execution goes away and now we have to think a lot more about how that system evolves.
If it were fully free market, there would be more competition. If it were fully socialized, the government would control prices.

Instead, our system is the worst* of both worlds. The government limits the supply to prevent competition, but allows those they've licensed to charge as much as they want.

*(That is, worst for patients; it's the best for profits)
I'm going to jump in here and offer up an Ayn Rand because you brought her name up.

Ask anyone who has a dog, preferably a big dog, what it costs for a vet visit.

Better yet, talk to someone who has had a sick dog. Something terminal, or possibly terminal. Costs are wayyy lower. Same x-ray, same imaging, many similar medicines. I've talked with vets, human doctors, and doctors who own dogs. They all come to the same conclusion:

Only ONE key difference - there is no insurance or government regulation involved (obvously stuff like taxes, basic health codes, licensing, but I think you know what I mean).

I'm more than happy to agree with you if you could show me a plausible explanation for this enormous disparity in costs.

> the delay between the original audio finishing and the reader voice-over made it really hard to hear either audio stream

growing up in a household that spoke both, it wasn't too hard to pick out both 'streams', and this definitely helped me learn the languages 2x as fast, but it felt like there was more 'processing' going on in my head, and I don't think I enjoyed watching things that way (when later given the choice for one language or the other)
Exactly. It's bad motivations all the way:

- Nature published a paper twice after the reviewers voted "no". Of course, it is not a voting process, the editor makes their decision. But evidently the editor didn't use the referee's input for that decision. That input, must I say, is free work that academics do for the journal. Click-baitiness simply weighted more to the editor and her supervisors. People should just stop paying attention to what Nature publishes.

- The students... I think this is the worst part of the story. Sometimes, students are on a student visa that depends on them holding for dear life to their university position. Been there, done that. I remember when I did my PhD: four to five international students--very well prepared I must say--to one from the host country. The ones from the host country were the ones with the best soft skills but they rarely put the long hours. I'll never forget that Iranian student who was a political refugee passing as a PhD student, because she couldn't bear the indignity of an asylum process. She couldn't return to her home country either.

- The replication...For the first retraction, I could find nowhere in the article that replication attempts were made. If those replication attempts were impossible to produce with the data published in the article itself, then its not a scientific paper, but a promotional brochure. In fact, some promotional materials are more extensive than Nature's articles; they really want to make the thing very short and academics are forced to jump through hoops to condense their publications, until they are practically impossible to understand, not to mention replicate. Again, the only solution to that problem is to ignore Nature.
In my country (Brazil) it's illegal for doctors to require an appointment just to give a prescription. I see them doing it all the time anyway. It's sad.

More than a year later, Dias and Salamat finally made the raw data public.

Explain to me why Nature would publish a paper without having access to/requiring the data. Could it be Nature wanted to be the first to publish such a ground breaking discovery? Dishonest people are simply a fact of life. The entire point - supposedly - of peer review is to insure that scientist do not make unsubstantiated claims. Job well done Nature. Job well done.

Python Upgrade Playbook. How Lyft Upgrades Python at Scale
IMO simply striving to gain power or money is easier than to achieve greatness and mastery, in general. Mainly because one can lie their way into power and money, countless examples of that both at a local level and global level. Now, mastery requires the opposite of lying and pursuing easy to achieve goals. It’s the hardest path because frustration is constant, and it requires one to keep stretching the limits of their own capabilities, and it never gets easier. Self control in that scenario is not necessarily about getting things “done”, but rather to not give up, and keep trying restlessly. The lack of nuance in the summary of that paper makes me think it’s not worth reading it. For me, I have greater admiration and respect for someone who has failed majestically at being great, than for someone who deals purely with median or below median expectations. The former will have amazing stories to tell, the latter usually don’t. The summary given by this blog, and likely the paper, too, is heavily tainted with the idea of “being for others”, rather than the idea of “being for self”. Again, being for others is super easy because it’s simply a matter of controlling the information you give, people do that all the time in social media. This doesn’t work for “being for self” because one can’t fool oneself indefinitely. Like the summary hints at, striving for greatness indeed involves fulfilling many achievements in the process of pursuing the greater achievement. This usually doesn’t count for observers, though, because the crowd has no taste or time for the story, but only for conclusions. Again illustrating how “being for self” is harder, as you’re set to be perceived as less than what you’re really trying to become. A functional remedy for that is simply to not be so public about your desires, which has the upside of protecting you from all sorts of exploitation.
Forgiveness has a double meaning, two separate but closely related concepts; those being:

(1) Letting go of negative feelings, a "conscious choice to let go of anger and resentment". This meaning of the word happens internally and is separate from what happens externally.

(2) Letting go of boundaries or consequences for those who have wronged you. This is the "not forgetting" part of "forgive but not forget". This meaning of the word happens externally. Some people don't consider it true forgiveness if you don't also let go of the consequences; that is, you must forgive and forget.

I would say (1) is always good. Let go of hate for your own mental health. (2) is more situational, but it's worth talking about explicitly. It's worth determining what exactly "I forgive you" means by talking about how boundaries, trust, and consequences have changed.
For some people yes, for others (like me if I buy a car) they're just fun to drive (that said, I can afford the tax)
Hey Matt!

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such detailed and thoughtful feedback.

Design & Clarity: I’m glad the step-by-step guide helped clarify Podletter’s purpose. I’ll strive for even clearer initial communication, and maybe change the hero section. What do you think?

Pricing: Your point about the pricing resonates with me. I’m actively reviewing our pricing structure to ensure it aligns better with the value we offer and is accessible.

Free Tier: The 'Start listening - it's free!' CTA should indeed be clearer. I’ll make sure to update the pricing details to better communicate any free tier or trial availability. Maybe create a Free Trial card?

Listening Options: The suggestion for private RSS feeds is great. I’m looking into adding this feature for enhanced usability and flexibility.

Thanks again for everything :)

The thing you'll hear from any camera pro though is that the actual shooting experience of Blackmagic isn't great. Making Blackmagic's behave for film is its own cottage industry and there's a reasons most people use stalwarts like Arri/Panavision/Sony/Red. If you're an entry level videographer, I'd much more recommend going the C300 route than being enticed by the BM price tag, as there are a lot of other hidden costs to just make things Work Well.
That's what you say is the definition of forgiveness, sure.

But is that the definition of forgiveness that everyone else actually has? Clearly enough people have a definition of forgiveness meaning exactly "acting like what a person did never happened", that threads like this become split with people talking past each other.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone say something this wrong on HN. Calling the American health care system socialist in any way is laughable.
The American sick care system is based around and incentivized to keep you a customer for life. I recommend people find preventative health and longevity specializing medical providers - they prioritize actual health and wellness.
According to a 2014 US Supreme Court decision...

"While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so."[1]

Public or not, people involved in a business do have fiduciary duties to their investors. But those duties are not specifically about profits. They are about "obedience, information, loyalty, and care"[2].

Ctrl+Q works in most (though yes, certainly not consistently all) Windows applications. Cmd+Q is also what you'd use on macOS to quit an entire application (Cmd+W is close single window), so the cross-platform ergonomics/muscle memory are actually somewhat preserved. Most Windows applications that still use MDI for some reason or that have tabbed browsing interfaces (appropriately) generally use Ctrl+W for window or tab closing, respectively.

>Am I the only one who hates working from home?

No. You're probably in the minority if you would go so far as to say "hate", but we don't need to agree. We just need to allow people to do whatever works best for them.

>The most I’ve ever learned, the most fun I’ve ever had, the most rewarding and fulfilling things I’ve ever done, they’ve all been when I was around other people.

This can be true for a person who also prefers working from home. E.g. myself. Not every combination of environment, people, and project works out the way you've described - in fact, I'd say the majority do not, purely statistically. Ideally people are working in whatever way most suits them at the time. Sometimes this means having a great time working with a group in person, and sometimes this means having a great time working with a group remotely.
