> Ancient people used twigs and kinds of different fibers to clean the teeth.

My mother said that she used to clean her teeth by cutting a twig from a neem tree. This is the 1930s and 40s. She's old, but I wouldn't refer to her as an "ancient person".
What are the kind of food that would induce a panic attack in her? Did she make things better by partially/completely avoiding them or did she add in probiotics/kefir/some other supplementation?
Imagine randomly picking a hundred points on the globe. By coincidence, you pick one location in a small country. Now you look at the density of points by population, and that small country has an unusually high density.

Grouping data by country tends to get you these small country outliers for almost any statistic.

I'd say there's a hard floor for the cost of board components plus the labor/management of assembling them. But yes I can imagine fraud being generally rampant. It does make you think though, now that we've got such computation and communication capabilities - if creating and publishing such kinds of reports became mandatory, such that individual consumers could benefit from a lot more analysis on what they're buying rather than the mere final price.
Well, I've been an iPhone user since the OG iPhone until 2017 when I've switched to the first gen Pixel. I stopped liking the iOS look & feel when the home button got removed.

At that time, the only thing to keep me on the iPhone was iMessage - not that I didn't want to be a green bubble, it just the SMS experience sucks in general, RCS wasn't a thing you could use at that time. However, once I've met my future ex-wife, that stopped being an issue because we used fb messenger to talk.

Fast-forward to summer 2023, I'm in a process of divorce, watching Apple event. Get possessed by Steve Jobs, pause presentation, order new iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra for self-pickup, finish watching the presentation, drive to pick up my new phone and watch. Quick migration and up and running.

Android (Pixel) Pros:

- back button, the thing I knew I will miss a lot

- all pixel exclusive features like call screening

- I prefer stock android control center

- sideloading (i've made my own reddit client for android tv and used it for loooong time)

- kotlin > objc (irrelevant since swift)

- fingerprint scanner on the back of a phone was a genius decision

Android (Pixel) Cons:

- google inconsistent web interfaces

- apps have much lower quality

- Google wants you to use Chrome Cast, so you can connect your phone to a monitor

- Most non-stock android makes me want to vomit, specially Samsung

- Google didn't know how to position Pixel (is it a flagship? is it a mid-level? is it a low-end? wtf was pixel 5?)

- Watch experience is meh

- under screen fingerprint scanners suck

- Wired Android Auto sent me to therapy a few times (jk, but it was frustrating)

iPhone Pros:

- Apps better quality

- Better watch integration

- iMessage (won't elaborate)

- AirPods switching experience is near damn perfect

- idk just look and feel subjectively better

- Wireless Car Play easier to find than Wireless Android Auto

iPhone Cons:

- control center, so many times I've turned off wifi or bt instead of what I wanted to do

- lacking "back button experience" from android

- didn't use usbc until last year
I've been googling for a while on these, it's the first I've heard of it. Do you have a link at all? Not trying to troll here, I really am genuinely interested.
This is exactly the problem. I think there is very dangerous gap between cruise control (just controlling the speed) and full self driving (the real thing, not the Tesla marketing). I don't know what the exact line is (automatically keeping distance from the car in front seems fine to me, staying in the lane doesn't, but hard to say) but it seems like there should be laws against this dangerous middle area. Personally I think after this point the manufacturer should have to take full responsibility for accidents. (Although questions about maintenance, repairs and modifications will get very complicated.)

Humans are really bad at focusing during repetitive tasks. Driving is already pretty repetitive and the more tasks you take away (or take away 99.9% of the time) the more difficult it is for people to stay attentive. I think self-driving is great and will make our roads safer and free up people's time. But I find this "safety driver" situation far too dangerous.

Thanks, have fun! Would like to know what you think of it.
That's a dubious claim and a faith-based argument.
As I understood, one of the japanese officer's hut - which is even bolder! Hence why they tricked the translator to have the japanese character for "workshop". A lot of smart and bold moves all along. Especially as the japanese were known for their "harsh" treatments (humiliations, beatings, torture, slow death, brutal death etc etc) toward prisoners, anything that would lead to a cue that they were doing something hidden would have had a radical and definitive answer...

The ITSO card is just that.
If the relative reliability of the SD card is an underlying cause (e.g. tons of writes wearing them out early causing corruption) you might also consider eMMC chips on SD card adapters. A discussion here: https://jamesachambers.com/emmc-to-sd-card-adapters-explaine...

The physics simulation clearly uses inelastic collisions, which is wildly unrealistic and why so many otherwise passable 'cars' don't pass the course. Also seems to use a very low coefficient of friction - most of my cars couldn't make it up a two-segement slope.
This article sucks. Does your company have tens of thousands of employees? If so, hopefully you have some engineers working on your tooling. If not, you don't have the problems described here, and you will also happily get all the "theoretical benefits" that this guy apparently didn't experience.

Moving to monorepo is often a win; also the name sucks, we have a a few "monorepos" at work, and I think it's the sweet spot. Rust and C firmware doesn't need to live with TypeScript frontend apps, but it's pretty wasteful to have apps of the same ecosystem unable to share any and all dependencies and utility code trivially.

(Where "trivially" means literally one line of code

import { bleargh } from 'hoge';

and not one single step more.)
From the article, a fair few internal interruptions are procedural, things like writing a commit message. I took a big point as being that you should design your work processes to help maintain flow.

> I want to update my dependency for my tiny service for a security patch

If the API changed it's not a security patch... Why would a change that only fixes a security bug cause tests to fail?

Sounds like this is more a matter of needing to cherry-pick temporarily and then actually pushing for the codebase to update, probably by the security team.

Sometimes you need to work with other people, that might necessitate doing "ugly" things to get the job done.

Totally agree. This article is just terrible.

We love to romanticize the path not taken too. If I look at the mistakes I have made in my life, if I could go back and change them I would still just end up making different mistakes on a different path.

Some of those alternate paths would have been a dead end too, literally. We take the value of the path that was chosen is one that means you are alive to read this on 4/28/24 completely for granted.

You can definitely loose one phase of a split phase transformer. I've seen it 3 times in my life. Sometimes it is completely out, other times I've seen only getting 80v rather than the full 120.

I did use a disassembler, but I didn't mention it directly in the blog post - rather it was at the link to 68KMLA. Not really sure why I did that, but I guess the blog post was long enough already. So, I just edited the blog post to mention it and make that more clear. Cheers!

Pink noise with noise cancelling headphones. I often find myself emerging from a zombie like state wondering what has gone on around me for the last 2 hours. I actually don't use it enough because I find it too all enveloping.
There are quite a few planes specifically designed for that kind of thing, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2:

"According to the operating handbook, the An-2 has no stall speed. A note from the pilot's handbook reads: "If the engine quits in instrument conditions or at night, the pilot should pull the control column full aft and keep the wings level. The leading-edge slats will snap out at about 64 km/h (40 mph) and when the airplane slows to a forward speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph), the airplane will sink at about a parachute descent rate until the aircraft hits the ground." As such, pilots of the An-2 have stated that they are capable of flying the aircraft in full control at 48 km/h (30 mph) ... This slow stall speed makes it possible for the aircraft to fly backwards relative to the ground: if the aircraft is pointed into a headwind of roughly 56 km/h (35 mph), it will travel backwards at 8 km/h (5 mph) whilst under full control."
Pure FUD.

They already do this with fuses to lock each chip to a specific iBoot, OS, and release[0] set.

Changing the configuration of the chip is unnecessary. iPhones, iPads, and Macs use roughly the same balance of compute. The thing that does need to change is how many cores in each compute device, but they already do this with A17 vs. M3 vs. M3 Pro/Max/Ultra. That already segregates the product lines a bit: iPads aren't getting anything bigger than an M3/M4, Mac Pros aren't getting anything smaller than an M3 Max, etc.

Looking at the logs from my reader service I see mostly 404s from YouTube from 2024-04-27 21:35 to 2024-04-28 07:00 UTC. There was also a 2h period in the middle with mostly 200s and a few 500s.

This is only based on a few-hundred requests because the service uses WebSub for YouTube so fetches primary occur when a video is published or updated.
I do as well. I program everything in C++ with Qt 6 (commercial license), compile statically where convenient, and use a single code base for all platforms (mobile, desktop, web). I handle the responsiveness of interfaces, DPI, and other micro-adjustments directly in a simple QML template.

That sounds like a bad idea, considering that children and tourists are very likely to not have a credit card (or at least not necessarily a compatible one).
Goblin is a service that builds a go binary for your platform on the fly and downloads it in PATH. This is a much faster way than setting up Github Actions to build an executable for every possible platform on every release. You can also use go install if you know what you are doing.
So instead of LoRa and anything else, everyone now has to say LoRa (the communication protocol) or LoRa (the large model thing). Having to add context all the time makes everything so much simpler !
If you were designing a new compatible processor for older systems, the limiting factor would be the memory bus. A cache would be necessary to get high speeds.

The cache would need to know about all bank-switching performed by the system, and understand how the memory banks are mapped into the memory space.

Could have:

* Plain read-only memory (you cache this)

* Plain RAM not shared with other devices (you cache this)

* Memory-mapped IO (you don't cache this)

* RAM shared with other devices where the other device does not write there, such as video memory (write-through cache, full read cache)

* RAM shared with other devices where the other device can write there (don't cache this)
Nice one! I liked the carriage rollers 10EE has so much that I made similar ones on my Chinese lathe instead of finicky gibs it came with.
To the contrary, art professionals use the top-tier iPads professionally more than anyone else, in my experience.

You use a Wacom for some things, but the iPad has the gigantic advantage that your image is directly underneath your Pencil. And, of course, that you can take it with you.

The iPad isn't a substitute for a workstation. But it's a huge complement -- both for creating things visually, as well as managing/showcasing all your media on the go. Professional artists are often going to a lot of meetings with different clients or team members around the city.
It would be great for this to actually explain what sorts of metrics are being computed here beyond what you get for free by instrumenting the requests library.

From looking at the screenshots, it looks like it can monitor number of tokens, which seems useful, but I'm not clear why that needed a whole big project.

I feel like the stuff you actually want to monitor in prod for ML that you don't get from infra monitoring are things that are not trivial to drop in because you want a sense for how well the ML components are working, which is generally pretty application specific. Having a general framework for that seems useful, but not really what we have here, at least for the moment.

Also, it just seems a bit weird for this to have it's own UI. Part of the point of OTEL is so that you can send all your metrics to one place. Not totally possible all the time and turning metrics into dashboards takes time, but the point of OTEL seems to be to separate these concerns.
That was a beautiful summation of path dependence.

I remember another comment on HN where someone talked about their 50s and looking through the rear view mirror wistfully.

I liked this post by Terry Crowley: https://terrycrowley.medium.com/software-ecology-bb4653046fd...

"The classic response to accusations of bloat is that this growth is an efficient response to the additional resources available with improved hardware. That is, programmers are investing in adding features rather than investing in improving performance, disk footprint or other efforts to reduce bloat because the added hardware resources make the effective cost of bloat minimal. The argument runs that this is in direct response to customer demand.

It is most definitely the case that when you see wide-spread consistent behavior across all these different computing ecosystems, it is almost certainly the case that the behavior is in response to direct signals and feedback rather than moral failures of the participants. The question is whether this is an efficient response.

The more likely underlying process is that we are seeing a system that exhibits significant externalities. That is, the cost of bloat is not directly borne by the those introducing it. Individual efforts to reduce bloat have little effect since there is always another bad actor out there to use up the resource and the improvements do not accrue to those making the investments. The final result is sub-optimal but there is no obvious path to improving things."

Web pages/applications are probably even worse in this regard because I'm not sure users even conceptualize them as using resources on their local computers, so they don't get blamed for it (people seem to attribute resource usage only to the web browsers, not the sites themselves)

Apple has never used "pro" to mean professional software engineers.

It's always been meant for professional artists. Whether graphic artists, music producers, video editors, 3D artists, or what have you.

So it's strange to me that you treat "artwork" as an exception.

These are very much pro. That they're extremely functional for art is the whole point.

Same. Don't buy an iPad! For real. It's a ridiculous device. Effectively no more useful than any other cheap tablet. Those tempting hardware features, you won't be able to use them in the end anyway, because of software limitations. You just can't do serious work with the iPad in practice. Trust me, after a short honeymoon period, and another few weeks of frustration, it will end up collecting dust and you will only ever rarely use it to watch movies at most.

If you buy one still, don't forget to turn it off completely, or you will find it someday, the battery completely drained and you realize it must have been months. Not good for battery health.
The Shitty Technology Adoption Curve (2022)
I agree that a lot could be improved on the iPad and I would not say no to the features you suggest. But I’m not sure I understand why you would want to use an iPad instead of a laptop as a developer. For me the whole thing with the iPad is the pencil. I would never use it for development tasks (maybe like some sort of emergency device while traveling).

Not saying you are wrong to want to use it for development, just curious why!
