Mine was more like lightning. So no field behind it, a leading edge but only a leading edge and since it was outside the core field of focus it caused me to scan the field, which became tiresome.

It wasn't unlike how I felt on mushrooms, 20+ years before it happened. Only one, immediately saw a GP, got put on hypertension meds, never had another 30 years on.
I still feel like that argument is like a "won't somebody please think of the children" one.

If app stores need to be locked down to protect the elderly, then surely the Internet needs to be locked down to protect all children. After all, Safari still navigates little Jimmy to pornhub if he clicks the link.

I feel like the real solution, same as the one most parents should be using instead of forcing it into everyone else is the same it's always been; don't give young Jimmy unfettered access to the Internet (and use a child/safety filter in your own home/on your own devices) and for Apple to provide a setting that enables/disables alternative app stores, so that children of the elderly can choose for them in the same way they'd choose for their children.
> You can't escape personal due diligence and "it was top ranked!" has never been that.

Apple continually makes claims that the closed ecosystem is essential to the safety of their customers, that they have a robust review process, and that their customers choose them because of the safety they provide. Apple should stop repeating these claims if they are not, in fact, reliable protection against scams.

I'm also running an AMD Lenovo (Gen 3 T14) but can assure you there are still hardware support issues. The issues are rare, but there none the less. WiFi will occasionally be slow after resuming from sleep, the fingerprint reader will just stop working after a while (but can be recovered by restarting the USB device with a script), plugging in a USB3 monitor previously crashed my system but I think that was fixed in the recent kernel updates, and early on when I first got the laptop I had system resume issues. Last year I had bug regression break something, I think ethernet, was another month before that got re-fixed. I did buy it when it first hit the market so I wasn't surprised to have issues.
It's funny, I was also thinking about Mentour Pilot, both because of the whole discussion here, and because of the post upthread talking about clickbait. I love Mentour Pilot once I get into one of the videos, but looking at all the attention-grabbing (and clickbaity!) stills on his video list makes me have to force myself to remember that it's fine once the video starts.

> I guess my basic question is, are the poorest people still living in city centers?

I suppose that there likely are small numbers of people living far outside of cities and away from traffic, like up in the mountains of Appalachia or living off the grid in tents or in communes deep in forests, who are poorer than people you'd typically find in urban areas, but it's still the poor in the US who are dealing with the worst of the harms traffic causes compared to the better off/wealthy. They're also the least able to mitigate those harms or deal with the fallout caused by them.
That's all pretty easily doable. Just make your app take in a bundle with package defined in the manifest. Document your call points, as you've said.
This seems very similar to the idea of Mastodon's server system, where you join the server whose policies match yours, except it's much easier to switch "servers". Which is a really good idea.
Really sorry to see that.
No need to pick sides. Manuals are a best effort by people writing code to communicate their intent. RTFM is an expression of frustration that people don't pay attention to their efforts before spouting off.
Not entirely sure how to explain it, not just internet, but the internet culture itself has changed dramatically. 10-15 years ago, it didn’t feel like everyone on blogs, forums, social media was chasing clout and financial gains. And even if they did back then, it just didn’t “feel” like it.

Currently, reading a single comment or tweet in good faith is pretty hard. There are obviously countless exceptions, but still, it’s tiring if you keep wondering about “what are they actually trying to achieve with this message?”.

In summer of 2016 we had this wild Pokemon GO phenomena that felt surreal. I didn’t really play much after a couple of weeks, but you could see the energy of different cities around the world by watching people outside. Would be very cool to see other mixes of internet with real life, but for some reason best we have gotten in terms of engagement is TikTok and IG.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you fully recovered.

> It's waaaay better now than it has ever been, and a pale shadow of examples it will become.

Why do you think it's better?

I think we have different definitions of "better."

Having to wade far more websites that want to sell something isn't better. My time is a finite resource.

Because of this, its worse.
Over 30 years of professional experience. Currently at a FAANG. Just today I fixed a bug that the entire team couldn’t figure out, including our team lead who is brilliant who is 15 years my junior. I’m not a better programmer than he is but I pull my own weight. When I fixed the bug, I had a rush the entire day. 30+ years and I still love programming, and I feel blessed and grateful to have fallen into this career. It felt like divine, Godly intervention for the path that lead me here.

There are some things that I disagree with the author, most especially things like this:

> If you don't agree with this, I have no hope for you.

> When in doubt, choose different. If you exclude people based on them being unlike you, you will likely be choosing poorly.

He says he believes in diversity but contradicts himself a few sentences previous. I find this typical with a lot of people who claim to believe in diversity: they don’t actually believe in true diversity, they believe in people agreeing with their pre-existing beliefs. And if someone doesn’t agree, there’s no hope for them at least according to the author. That’s not someone who believes in diversity.

And I actually believe the greatest software projects have a single strong voice with a strong vision and strong competency that drives the entire project. Look at Steve Jobs with Apple and the iPhone, Linus and Linux, Elon Musk with Tesla, Zuckerberg and Facebook. You don’t find a lot of collaboration, what you see is a brilliant visionary with strong opinions and not much diversity in opinion. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as they say.

If you want a fun environment, then sure you can collaborate and give equal time to others but you won’t go as fast and usually the end results aren’t as dramatic.
Do you mean the search result or the ad that pops in at the first space? For me all those have good results but all contain ads for more or less unrelated apps

I would also expect products with premium pricing to not contain ads.
conversion of file encoding from simple ASCII to UTF-8 has consequences beyond the field/record problem.

Some tools will randomly convert " to 'LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK' and 'RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK' if they see UTF-8 flagging. Thus, the file is converted without your voluntary participation.
I see AI as a tool to express creative intent in ways not practical before it came about. It could be naivite full of unintended consequences. But it's hard to not focus on the benefits of the latest tech.

The current crop of tools are improving productivity in developing better software. Which makes me happy.

> Apple should be better than that.

Everyone should be better than that, but as far as Apple specifically, they're really no better than any other hypermegacorp. Apple's a company, it doesn't give a damn about you, it only gives a damn about enriching its owners.
This is already SOP at most reputable weather data providers; they consume many different numerical forecasts and use statistical post-processing to choose an optimal blend of the available forecasts based on how different forecasts have verified against observations.

But this sort of technique only works for medium range forecasts. Short-range precipitation nowcasts are almost always a single, deterministic run of a model that extrapolates from patterns in recent radar imagery. They aren't bias corrected at all, so you can't use observations in the same way to improve them.
Your life isn’t in the hands of twitter. It’s in the hands of NYPD, an institution designed to protect the public.

Maybe not all but for the most part yes I do think software engineers in San Francisco are by in large more productive than software engineers in Kansas city.

Just like I think finance professionals in NYC are more productive than finance guys elsewhere.

There's a culture around that in those places and opportunities and tools that promote excellence in those fields in a way that is very difficult for someone acting alone.

Just like it's very difficult for a kid in Africa to become a Olympic runner while there are many African American sprinters too, the tools and training and instruction and mentorship is simply not available, the opportunity is not there for him to be able to reach his potential. And that often matters more than innate ability

Workers in many poorer countries are overcoming comparatively more barriers just to work, while in rich countries we have systems set up to help us be as productive as possible

I can't even get padded date formatting in MacOS these days (leading 0s) in GB/NZ locales without manually running command line things to update defaults, which means the recently-added support for fixed-width fonts in the Size and Date columns in Finder is somewhat pointless...

You're both wrong. Cloudflare is breaking the internet by doing interactive verification of users, meaning the web is no longer an open protocol. I'm referring to that "enable javascript" page and "one more step" page. They require you to have Firefox or Chrome, neither of which are acceptable, which they verify with scripts and deep packet inspection. Contrast this to old school communication protocols which I could implement in an hour. I can't implement a Firefox in 100 years. Firefox can't even run on 95% of my machines, it just lags to hell once you open two tabs. And I need as many instances of Firefox as possible across many boxes to prevent being data mined. Cloudflare is the nail in the coffin for the web, they just not have advanced that far yet. Just wait until "something happens" and Cloudflare ups their policing.
> Unless someone has a really new idea how you can make a defensible, healthy 'public townsquare' ...

I think this change is that idea. The thing about a 'public townsquare' is that it's a square for a _town_, not the whole world. Social media today is trying to be a global square and has shown it doesn't work on multiple levels, so the pendulum's swinging back to human-scale communities and I'm here for it.
I counter with the fact that hosting something means nothing unless connections can be made. Well, unless hosting in itself is your end goal.

Even here on HN, there are plenty of comments about how someone can't connect to a website because it uses Cloudflare and Cloudflare decided to block them due to a dirty IP address, shady (read: hyper privacy focused) user agent, CAPTCHAs that don't work (see prior factor), or other factors.

Some form of DDOS protection is desired in this day and age, and Cloudflare provides a very convenient service to answer it. Unfortunately, this means the vast majority of the internet is routed through Cloudflare making it a singular point of failure/denial. Aka centralization.
I understand migraines. I lose my vision almost completely, and see only white. Sometimes I can make out things on the edges. It starts with my vision going wonky. I have these spots that show up before the migraine has hit me full on. I then start throwing up, and can't see, the light and sound are incredibly painful. The closet is the best place for me, with a towel stuffed under the door.

I had them frequently until I was in 9th grade, and they stopped, then returned again in my very late 20s. They're not as frequent when I was young, but I get them still about 2-3 times a year now.

The emergency rooms gave me Benadryl, Morphine and Ibuprofen. It does nothing. If I can get an Ambien (Zolpidem) in me before I throw up, I will sleep it off.

I don't wish these on anyone.
If you need to use 128-bit floats for something, note that your processor probably supports them natively and that there are standard C/C++ types for them.

(The boost thing the article links says their quad precision type is “functionally equivalent” to standard types, but uses a different bit layout.)
Poor formatting aside, this feels like a blogspam tutorial. Feels like a weird article to be this high on HN. I don't see what's notable here in the vanilla JS features that the author is pointing out.
Wow, I'd completely forgotten about this pattern. It was always fun to find sites that could be re-initialized...
> I think it likely depends...my Apple Watch corresponds exactly to what GFS says. GFS is OK for medium range

which is interesting, as i'm noticing the "within 15 minutes" level of notice on rain starting/stopping to have been close enough. the daily forecast last week said no rain even though the conditions really looked like it could at any moment. my iDevices pinged with rain starting soon even though the same apps forecast still did not suggest rain. it started raining with in "good enough" range of the app's notifications.

the update to the native weather app have all been very good over the past 2 OS updates. maybe they have integrated whatever company they purchased for good, but for my local area on the globe, it has been pretty good. i haven't traveled in a good while, so maybe my market is in the sweet spot of getting a lot of attention???

I'd trust the truism based on their experience more than the average (low quality, non replicating, still published and hyped in news coverage) "actual research" in social sciences.
I’m pretty sure I entirely agree with every point the author is making (at least, I’ve identified a few, maybe, and those few, I think I agree with) but god damn it was a hard read.

The main problem is that it keeps hanging entire paragraphs on brief references to context I do not have. I watch more than my share of TV, follow film-making, et c., but a combo of incredibly inside-baseball references to the production side and Internet chatter I’ve not followed, and the author focusing mostly on shows I haven’t watched but assuming I had, left me having to do a lot of detective work and inference just to guess at what was being expressed.

About a quarter of the way in I was ready to come post in here that the author had clearly paid some attention to David Foster Wallace, but not quite enough—then, a DFW quote near the end of the piece! Ha.

I know dick-all about tennis, and even less about pro tennis, but nonetheless understood and enjoyed multiple Wallace pieces about tennis. I know a bit about TV, but that wasn’t enough with this article. The author seemed to be writing this only for themselves.
This is true. Btw, the macOS app store is also full of products that you really shouldn't use and most of software you really should use have alternate ways that you buy them going through their website and get something so that you can install. Microsoft Office, JetBrains IDEs and Adobe products all will install and update without you having to go through the macOS Appstore.
I'd agree that the made/assembled in Mexico schemes companies use to exploit cheap labor and/or to avoid environmental regulations or taxes are a problem. I'd be very happy if we closed those loopholes and more cars were made entirely within the US by US workers who were paid enough money to make a good living.

We can always continue to support Mexico and China in ways that aren't exploitative or tax dodges for wealthy corporations.
I drive an EV6, and I’m almost confident it uses (or can use) regenerative braking to come to a complete stop.

If I use the ePedal or the brake paddle, the stop is super gradual and you never feel the “grab” that you feel when using the brake. Also, I can sometimes feel/see it slightly rolling (so it’s not even truly a complete stop).

I’ve seen some people swear that the EV6 always uses friction braking at stops, but again, I’m pretty sure this just isn’t true.

I will let you in on a little secret. Very few devs, full stack or otherwise, remember everything on any non-trivial system. What the experience gives you is the ability to read and comprehend code that is new to you very quickly. And “new to you” code includes code you wrote a year ago and haven’t touched since.

Software engineering has as much to do with sociology as it does with math.

What are you even talking about, an OLED running at 100Hz with BFI already would have zero motion blur. I'm not sure whether or not that's implemented yet but it's just a matter of time before the shitshow of monitor vendors figures that out.
Absolutely. It is something that I find amusing about people moving from California, LA/SoCal in particular, where their weather is basically just a nice segue from celebrity talk into more celebrity talk that reads some report the producers pulled. Then, they move to town and are amazed at how much people actually pay attention to the weather and comment on how many people actively have open tabs with the live radar. I usually reply with when you need to know if your ride to Oz is coming or not, you pay a lot closer attention.
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is an AI architecture for retrieving facts from an external knowledge base that may be updated, instead of only knowing static data it was trained on.
The general shape is the same as in these pictures for me, and it expands in the typical way and direction, but for me it's like shards of broken glass strobing various colours. When I first got migraines I didn't even realise I was seeing them. The first sign something was wrong was when I was watch the TV and suddenly it was hard to understand what the actors were saying. When I focussed, I realised that it was because I couldn't see their mouths!

Unfortunately, nearly two decades on, smaller weird visual artefacts are now just daily life and I seem to be very sensitive to glare (and I break into a cold sweat pretty often because that's how an aura looks when it starts). I only get a few migraines a year, but they seem to have rearranged the furniture in my brain a bit.
Not really. Ranking and recommendation models require different infrastructure than LLMs. The models are generally smaller and require more data processing before training.
