I owe the man my career. I was only interested in HTML because I wanted to make my own version of dragonballz.com. I learnt how to use Limewire because we didn't get the rest of the episodes after the Goku vs Nappa episode, and I also went on to make great friends just because we had some of the episodes that the other didn't have. I learnt to use torrents, scrape links off websites and eventually got my career in programming, which allowed me to buy the entire collection of his works.

Toriyama-sensei, thank you for everything. I am sorry to see you go so soon. If Shenron existed, I'd have wished you back.

Dragon Ball is among the highest grossing franchises of all time, Dragon Quest isn't. I don't know why you are trying to say that Dragon Quest is more significant in some way, Dragon Ball is objectively much larger so it makes sense that it is the first thing people think about, because it is so big that even those who aren't anime fans know what it is.

Snide comments about people not knowing as much about this as you do doesn't add any value. Instead of saying "Interesting how the Western / HN / American crowd here is mainly only aware of Dragon Ball.
", just explain how influential and awesome his other works are. That way your comment would have gotten many upvotes, people would have loved it and everything would be much more positive.

I'm thinking the same. I'm going so far and in most cases say "No comments in method bodies" in Merge Reviews. Why?

Typically, you are explaining statements with a comment. This is code which becomes self-documenting once you turn it into a method with a good name. Every tricky bit can now be documented via JavaDocs as well (and other language equivalents).

This also tends to avoid having 200+ line methods as well :D
I would always do that on my previous (slower) Android phones, but it's NOT because they added to the usability, just that they slowed down the interaction significantly when the GPU etc. were not capable enough. On my latest Pixel, I don't do that anymore and just enjoy the animations because they don't slow down my daily interactions anymore. So your point does not actually convey that Animations are useless. They just have a toll on performance, yes. They always will. (I work in an industry where we spend a lot of time perfecting 3D geometry animations, because our users prefer it).
No 3rd party manufacturer has a license to install iOS the way they did for DOS/Windows.

Back in the day? What’s the modern way to do it if not stty sane?
> Establishing this theory requires a stable process! Without a stable process, you cannot make deliberate, systematic changes and observe how it affects outcomes.

shrug Welcome to software engineering. Enjoy your stay.

If anyone has figured out how to make deliberate systemic changes that add value, they really need to publicise it because I'm not aware of many approaches that aren't absurdly basic (things like get release and get fast feedback).

There are lots of examples of companies like Google, Microsoft, AWS, etc that generate huge amounts of value from early on in their life cycle them then coast on that while experiments with processes never really move the needle all that much. Google has been search and ads for 20 years and none of their experiments with software quality since then have been all that impressive. It isn't even all that clear from a customer perspective that the quality and quantity of software is improving. If anything, they need to slow the programmers down, write less code and dedicate more resources to maintaining platforms and pushing them to succeed. SPC won't help with that though, because measuring "nothing happening" isn't what SPC is targeted at.

In fact, open source projects where there is usually no QAQC in sight are vast wealth and productivity fountains, we have people like Hipp over at SQLite who just tests everything to within an inch of its life. Good luck replicating that level of productivity with SPC. No systemic process has come close to matching the productivity one madman with a love of databases and stability. We have no idea how to make that repeatable; because the fundamental process that creates value isn't stable.
I'm sorry, I raised a bunch of technical concerns, and you hand waved them away with the vague notion that technological progress has solved them.

I still don't see how you can build tensioned reinforced concrete structures with this tech, and overhang bridging is not possible due to fundamentally different material properties than say, PLA.

To be clear I'm not saying the technology doesn't work, just that it's not better than anything we have now, because of the problems I outlined, and thus is relegated to niches.
It's interesting that someone already tried that long before Wayland and Gnome, with the predictable result...

I don't know about you but I probably wouldn't notice if my light switch suddenly moved to the opposite position instantly instead of in 50ms or something.

There was a distinct style to Toriyama's art that was instantly recognizable.

My memory of manga history is a bit fuzzy... Astroboy (1955) was a big influence and has many of the key elements of Toriyama's distinct style, yet is also strikingly not Toriyama, while Dr Slump (1980) already has all that makes the Toriyama style so unique.

To this day, a huge portion of manga and anime retains this clear, simple, and approachable style. In terms of impact I would equate it to the contemporary Hergé's "Ligne Claire" (1977).

Both are a huge reason as to why I was into drawing in my youngster days.

I enjoy commenting the code if it needs it
This is LinkedIn - not HN - tier content. Comments obviously aren't code, and the idea that they are "as important" is the type of grandstanding you'd perform for a non-developer audience who have no idea what code actually does.

The "why" vs "what" advice is the universal advice everyone has been giving for the last two decades.
the problem is, the democracies are adopting the worst practices of dictatorships at an alarming rate.

it is all veiled in a thin veneer of legitimacy, of course - protecting children, fighting terrorists, fighting nazis, fighting disinformation, etc, etc, etc, and there are plenty of people who will foam at the mouth to defend such measures as absolutely necessary and morally just.

I live in an authoritarion shithole myself, and I'm watching EU/US/CA/ANZ rapidly become more and more like my country with a mix of amusement and dismay.
“People are no better than this, so we better math the shit outta it.” That’s exactly what a Chinese technocrat would say. But we can be bigger than game theory. We’re not chess pieces we’ve got choices.

It seems like hating the other side is the problem. But what if it’s not? What if it’s closer to what you say in that this is driven by some underlying genetics, and the hate appears later as a conscious rationalization of instinct?

I still believe we can be bigger than our biology and collectively we should. In some sense in part, the history of civilization is a kind of conquest of our culture over our biology.

Little aside, as there’s nowhere else to put it: when I originally made that comment, it wasn’t flagged and I didn’t have the flagged joke at the top of the comment.

But I immediately thought “this is going to get flagged,” so I put that little joke there and then sure enough it did get flagged sometime later.

What I wonder is: would it have still got flagged, without that little joke about it being flagged at the top?

I guess we’ll never know! at least in this version of the universe. Might have to hop over to another version in order to see the alternative. Hahaha! :)

It's good to know that TCC was pushed by the Chinese leaders so that their people could read but couldn't think and write independently -- those thousand characters are not enough to write anything intellectual in Chinese. Nowadays, the program expects that 3000 characters are known in the third year of primary school. A modern dictionary has 7000-8000 characters. The Shuowen (edit: Kangxi Dictionary), the dictionary used by the elite in that period to make all literary writing very hard to read by using archaic characters contained 47000. TCC is very political and symbolic.

See Lu Xun's essay in Qiejie ting zawen.

Well here is the thing, SLS cost 20 billion $ or more. And uses lots of components that existed before SLS was around.

Vulcan still cost multiple billions to develop, the engines had to go threw a very demanding air force test and validation program first. The rocket was delayed for years because of issues with both the BE-4 and the Centaur.

ULA has established suppliers and established factory, with lots of people that build and launch rockets. Those suppliers are very expensive, but if you have the US military paying you 200+ million $ per launch, you can afford that.

To compare those to examples to a tiny startup rocket company is kind of absurd. They simply don't have lots of legacy reliable components. They can't use existing suppliers as those are far to expensive and don't have products for micro launchers.

You are comparing rockets that cost 30x or 300x of what Astra priced their rocket at.

Generally if you want to understand Astra issues, you have to understand the dynamics of the market.

The main problem with Astra was that they were always behind the market. They started with a micro rocket, that was simply to small for most sats. So before they ever made that reliable they made the rocket bigger. And once they had done that it was pretty clear that the market needed even bigger sats. So they iterated again and made their rocket bigger.

But that happened again so they gave up that rocket and (in theory) now they are building an even bigger rocket.

They never actually settled on a design. The basically launch a new rocket 1-2 times and before they had figured out all the issues were already looking at the next design and those designs had new issues.

It was more important for the CEO scam and lie about how brilliant the next rocket was gone be so nobody thought to much about why the last rocket blew up. The companies main product was selling stock to uninformed people.

When RocketLab and others strategically moved into space craft, Astra bought a Ion-Engine company just so they can say they do the same thing. When SpaceX had success with Starlink, Astra promised to have an even better global internet.

Having a good story was more the priority then having good engineering and good execution.

This book is a good read: "When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach"

Its about Planet, Astra, RocketLab and Firefly. Book doesn't make the Astra CEO look great.

Being the market leader, Apple sets the ground rule in the market in way that makes Apple wildly profitable. However, the regulators are striking at the heart of these rules, and Apple seem intend to use its technological controls to minimize the impact of the regulators, rather than just accepting the change and move on.

The issue for Apple is that the above generates bad press against Apple which is going to erode away the brand, and the regulators might end up issuing more rules anyway.
Japanese animation was already popular decades before.

But I think it's fair to say that Dragon Ball was the most ubiquitous piece of anime on the globe across the 90s/2010s and the one with the longest lasting impact

This technique isn't just useful for switches. Nor will you use a <canvas> element for a switch. Nor will you have 20 parallel requestAnimationFrame loops running on the entire site. Or intentionally broken elements. The site also doesn't have optimizations where the rendering stops once the delta is too small — or probably dozens more of small tweaks that could make this production ready.

The comments here show that people either haven't read the article and are making assumptions, or can't see the forest for the trees. Or are just simply so biased and cynical that they need to share their (unprofessional) opinion in order to appear smart.

Sure the licensing part is very different but the software issue is identical.

Browsers are using public APIs which do not support some of the features Safari does. You can't build something as seamless as iCloud because of the private APIs being used there. You can't build an exact copy of the Airpods because the public APIs aren't as good as what they gave to themselves. Watches aren't treated the same if it's an Apple one or one from another vendor. I could continue this list for a long time.

The same logic extends to everything in iOS, their software is fundamentally treated differently than the software coming from other vendors and has extra private capabilities.

I agree we should spread knowledge and source code, but I don’t think open source always works. The reason seems to be because when you create an open system with no restrictions beyond an honor system, people and organizations take advantage of it.

Bitwarden.

"Find in page" will only show a result if it is visible on the page (even though the scrollbar indicates the full vault has loaded, and even after scrolling down to the desired result and then back up).

They have a "Search vault" field that works fine, so it's not a major inconvenience, but the first few times I've Ctrl+F'd a newly added site and gotten "Phrase not found" when I know I added credentials? That's a mild anxiety I'd rather not have.

I could be convinced there's a security-related reason for this---in fact, I never really thought about it until now---but then I'd assume anyone able to get access to your vault can use Selenium and fill in the "Search vault" input field.

I agree with you. The problem of governance is tricky. And it seems there’s not enough innovation, and the incentives that would support innovation don’t exist insufficient quantity.

And that’s why I think we should give ourselves trickier governing challenges, such as figuring out how to create this world without borders. You’re not always air quotes ready before you take the leap, whatever it is.

This is a problem if using "tri-state" checkboxes. Don't. They're confusing.

It is not a realistic problem for two-state checkboxes.

I'm from nordic country, and yes, I too have seen the "checkmark" to indicate mistake on school work as listed on the Wikipedia page and attributed to Sweden and Finland. I've however also seen that on my son's school work in the UK. And I've seen it used for correct. And for just "I've checked this".

It is not culturally consistent, and usually appears to be more indicative of a personal marking style.

And almost only in that kind of context.

Outside of that context, a checkmark is still mostly used as a positive confirmation across the Nordic countries too. You may want to make sure that the wording of the label does not give room for thinking you can tick it to answer "no", but that equally applies for a checkmark.

To make sure I wasn't overlooking some difference between Norway (where I grew up) and Sweden, I just checked aftonbladet.se - one of Swedens largest newspaper, and their signup page for example uses checkmarks to positively indicate the presence of features in their Swedish ad copy.

On a form it certainly is consistently meant to indicate "selected", just as an "x" is, in those countries as well unless the form explicitly says otherwise or indicates you can use both.

The only confusion arises if both are valid states because you've used a tri-state checkbox. So don't. They're confusing everywhere.

Maybe it's not universal, but the use of checkmarks outside boxes to indicate "wrong" in some contexts is entirely irrelevant to the interpretation of checkmarks in boxes on a form where the options are not-marked vs marked.

Sure, if you are designing a UI where you are displaying corrections to something, don't display a checkmark - probably irrespective of whether you include a box - without some additional indicator of whether it means right or wrong.

I don’t think either option is actionable. I live in Australia, with a population so negligible and ignorant of privacy that even if someone in government somehow did give a shit, even major entities like Apple might find it more economical to just pull out entirely.

I feel like that’s a bit disingenuous to what actually happens when you change regions. As they explained to me before I switched:

1. All my content would stay in the old region. If I ever go back, I will still have all that content.

2. In my new region, content will be matched. If there is matching content, I will have a license for it. Otherwise, I will lose access to the content until I change my region back.

I accepted and that’s what happened. Some of my old playlists are full of content I can’t play here (for the better playlists, I just got the EU version of the song and deleted the US version). I still see most of my apps and movies/shows in library. Some apps that are US only stopped updating until they eventually stopped working.
