Freedom is not possible if everyone is given a mic connected to the same sound system.

It only works if there is a sharing and coordination mechanism that the majority agrees too. As is the case when it comes to Broadcasting on Radio Spectrum. You wont find anyone protesting or demanding the right to stick a radio dish on their roof and the ability to broadcast across all frequencies in the name of Free Speech.

Because this debate (about share finite broadcast spectrum) already happened and a coordination and sharing mechanism was agreed too. That agreement comes out of social and political debates. Not out of technical debates. Its not a technical problem.

Social media designed by people who had no idea what they were building, allowed everyone to freely Broadcast(1-to-all) simultaneously, because it became technically possible <insert Jurassic Park quote about Engineers building things cause they could not because they should>. Post facto, this bunch of self certified geniuses realized they need a sharing/coordination/filtering mechanism and you get more garbage like the view/like/click/upvote count, moderation/censorship systems which do a half baked job. So we get infinite evergrowing spam (as cost to spam on free to broadcast system is 0), randomness, chaos, squandering of finite collective attention, and no control at all over what emerges tomorrow morning out of Jurassic Park.
EVA should not be missed, regardless of how weird and gross it can be for some. I watched it for the first time a year ago after hearing so much about it.

The first five or six episodes are an awful slog, and then there's an exponential curve up through 'quite good' into 'great' then 'I understand why this will print money forever'.

If you're sold but confused how to watch: start with the original release and then watch End of Evangelion; both on netflix.

You are correct, the only way a good company can be built (if it can be built) is ground up.

In practice this does not happen. A sort of boiling frog phenomenon. The creep sets in because the founders hired or promoted people who have better soft skills (and sometime low on principles and hard skill) over people with hard skills. Sieving and assessing multitudes of prospective candidates for a job is a very time consuming, exhausting work, and people are often willing to settle for less, especially if the organization is really successful and the founders feel the need to expand rapidly.

Are you saying the derivative is a geometric concept? Tangent slope of a curve is simply one application of a derivative; it's not the derivative's identity. What the derivative is is the inverse of an inner product.
Yeah, I also think that it should be a part of business requirements rather than a purely technological decision that applies everywhere. A developer shouldn’t be asking “do we need soft deletion” in vacuum, because it’s a decision to be made higher up where workflows live.

It all probably stems from a rule that as a developer you must never [force/allow anyone to] lose expensive input or make it hard to recover. So ORM and platform developers try to ensure that no one really deletes anything, as a presumably simplest solution. It’s okayish sometimes, but is a bad responsibilities design really. If data is valuable, then its owner is the most responsible by definition. So the actual responsibility should be moved there, with explicitness and reasonable safety nets where needed. Otherwise a developer has to get defensive on all fronts which comes with additional costs for both them and a user, for reasons not well defined.
I miss the predictability of floppy disks. Assuming it was manufactured correctly, a floppy disk would always act like every other floppy disk. You could look at it and see everything there was to see. It didn't have firmware with mysterious origins and capabilities. If you bought a floppy disk from a reputable manufacturer and it failed, it was usually your own fault. Modern flash drives fail for inscrutable reasons, and that makes them more stressful to work with.

> It satisfies the product rule.

It's been many years since I had calculus at uni, and never any abstract math. Why is the product rule picked as the "interesting" attribute of derivatives, ie to serve as the basis for the generalization?

Is there some deeper connection of the product rule in ordinary derivatives that singles out the product rule over the other properties a derivative has?

For me, a key aspect of derivatives is that it allows for something like Taylor expansion or integrals to exist. Are there any equivalent things to these product-rule-generalized derivatives?
Ok, the thing I hadn’t worked out when I wrote the above is that this is also APL-like, which is pretty fun. It feels like the main missing feature is some way to do grouping, though I’m not sure. I tried translating my first two examples but I didn’t try executing them so they mightn’t work:

(->2)"(->1)~.*{|`2.`0}
"(\g. g.((+)|0 {g=`2}{`3})) ~. $2

I think I might also be missing something about the ` operator: the first example feels a bit strained because it first needs to put fields in a tuple then extract from the tuple. I feel like I want $0 to give a list of some records that can be converted to strings but which can also have fields extracted. Then the example might look like (`1)~.*$0. I don’t know if the $0 could be implicit too. Another horrible feature would be integers to be coerced into functions if needed – take the nth field from a record/list/tuple.

I’m not sure I really understand the language (and I definitely don’t understand the implementation!) but it seems pretty interesting. Perhaps a better motto than “functional awk” is “streaming APL with type checking (and type classes)”?
> Social media designed by people who had no idea what they were building

Let's not jump to conclusions. Zuckerberg knew and knows very well what he was and is still doing.
Love this tool, want to buy it for our team. Unfortunately, a tool that doesn't support Safari can't readily be used to help iterate products that use default browser or webkit webviews on MacOS or iOS.

We've noticed many tool devs think everyone uses Chrome (because those devs got non tech people in their social circle to install Chrome so "everyone they know" uses Chrome), but users who don't know devs just use whatever's there, and that means iPad, iPhone, and most Mac "end users" are Safari.

Along with being needed for those users, any tool that looks this good and works this magically is also going to appeal to dev teams that can appreciate why users like iPhones and designers like Macs, those teams will want this to work in Safari too.

That said, if you couldn't readily support Safari, I wonder if your extension could be adapted to work in Kagi's Orion browser that supports Chrome and Firefox extensions (to an extent), while being based on WebKit. Perhaps that's a path that could allow webkit debugging.

We would definitely pay for a Safari extension to be installed from Apple app store for each of our UX devs, product managers, and canary users.

For enterprise deployment, it needs to come from Apple app store or be distributed as an installable package through an automation mechanism. MAS (Mac app store) is easiest.

The extension needs to either be free, or have a "full price" version, so that it can be licensed per seat/user through corporate volume purchasing to run on employee devices. The way managed devices work, there's no way for companies to pay for employees to use in-app purchases (IAP).
1) That's a happy path which might or might not work during malfunction. Imagine a terrorist deliberately disabling an original control signal and then using his own control signal to steer the beam on the city.

2) Beam can be used as a weapon if you will just point it and light it up and thus deploy would be sooner or later heavily restricted or outright banned like nuclear weapons in space are banned.

Agree, it's a debugging tool for what users see, and users see your app on WebKit in Safari.

So agree, the PdM should not be using Chrome.

I suggested the Kagi Orion path elsewhere in this comment page too, since that would give the PdM extensions, while still seeing what users see.

I was surprised the story claimed that 3.5" disks weren't "floppy", just based on their external shell.

EDIT: Back when they were in common use, I remember that computer people generally called them "3.5 inch floppy disks", and non-computer called them "hard disks". Which caused some initial confusion because computer people meant something else by "hard disk".

It looks like there's still some debate about the ambiguity of the terms: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/335352/what-s-so...
Do people really feel at ease throwing away food? Where I am from, generally food is respected. Throwing food actually expired (you could see/smell/taste it's expired) food away has been a guilty act. Was always told while growing up to not waste food from the plate I am eating in. If not right now, then eat later.

When I saw Spain's tomato fight event, it made feel very uneasy thinking how can they easily waste/play with perfectly good food.

The site where they've put the beavers is a small parcel of land (less than 0.04 sq mi) next to an out-of-town retail park and industrial estate. I'm reasonably familiar with the site, and have walked the canal more a handful of times and driven the A4127 so many times I've lost count. The air quality here is poor, about 7.5 times the WHO annual air quality guideline values for PM2.5.

It's a nice idea, but I can't help but feel like the beavers probably had a better life in Scotland where they were taken from. Online sources suggest that a more normal habitat size would be an order of magnitude larger [1]

The problem with Greater London is how dense it all is; if we had better public transport connections and fewer London-centric employers (or indeed, more of an appreciation for remote working) it'd be possible for there to be more and larger green spaces which would help with the whole city being a massive urban heat island.

There are some glimmers of hope, the A4127 has become a nightmare to drive on recently due to HS2 works - a necessary evil - which will hopefully encourage more offices to be established between London and Birmingham. It's a shame the wider HS2 scheme was castrated in yet another example of short-sighted thinking.

Appreciating "modern" before modern times requires taking the production date into context and being aware of what contemporary media was doing.

Unfortunately, the entire reason you're watching famous media decades later is because contemporary media is comparatively boring.

Can you people stop with the inane pedantry? Yes, the derivative is a geometric concept and so is the inner product; they are at the core of what a Riemannian manifold is, they group to form the (co)tangent spaces of varieties and schemes and their derived structures produce the local geometric data of the object in question.
Absolutely, yes. Pouring hot water into a cup sounds very different from pouring cold water into a cup. Even the flow looks visibly different, hot water is a lot more "lively". Noticed this as a kid, never made a mistake.

There are many examples of humans being able to observe a difference, yet deny their capability to discern on the basis of abstract rational knowledge.

Another example is frame rates: while its well known that the bandwidth of light sensitive cones on the retina is around 30Hz cycle frequency (and thus ~60Hz framerate), many gamers felt the difference of higher framerates, even though many of the same gamers denied observability of this difference on the basis of knowledge of this basic biological fact.

The biological fact is not wrong: if screen pixel projects are at rest on the retina. But when the eye is rotating to follow a depicted object on the screen, then speeds higher than ~60 pixels per second result in motion blur that would be absent when observing a real life object moving at the same angular speeds. The biological fact is still true, but simply not naively applicable in the context of motion blur due to eyeballs rotating while observing a display.
Show HN: I built a website to create images from LaTex
Hey everyone, I was doing some tests with Gaussian Blur and the 2D Gaussian formula. While writing code for the formulas (I'm just trying to learn new things, that's all), I wanted to see LaTeX formulas in my IDE as images or in any convenient way. However, I couldn't find any proper method, such as writing LaTeX as a comment and seeing them as images, etc.

So, I started to create my 2-step project: a LaTeX-to-image website & plugin for my IDE. I've completed the first step of this project. I've created a website called https://pictotex.com/

I didn't return to this project due to things happening in my life, but today I just checked my CloudFlare account to see what is going on and I was surprised because I'm receiving 50-60 unique visitors daily. This is very "unique" for me.

I plan to add a few more features, like maybe creating a service to use "blang/latex" for better results.

I hope this website helps you, even in a small way.

I'd like to get your ideas & feedbacks.

Behind the scene is very simple:

NextJs, Supabase, Vercel
I'm now curious if this can be defined on Gaussian integers...
I agree. It seems the edge cases that trip these systems are becoming so rare and convoluted that the return on this kind of research is approaching zero. At some point we just need to collect data from real-world tests.

Because the history is not linear. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/networking-blog/align...

it goes like this:

1. MS uses netBios.

2. apple uses bounjour, similar to netbios, but with modern conveniences, like NAT aware.

3. windows add same niceties on top of netbios and call it LLMNR.

4. apple standardize bounjour as mDNS and open it up just because they would have to publish code because of some licenses they offended (but going into this is veering way too much offtopic on your offtopic)

5. everyone standardize on mDNS

6. RedHat (using their fake open source promotion called freedesktop, nee XDG) pushes for LLMNR for god knows why! (well, might be a reason poetering works for MS now)

7. even microsoft abandon LLMNR and netbios in favour of mDNS. everyone is using mDNS. RH/freedesktop/systemd/fwmg (all the same people) chose to base their LAN distribution service logic on LLMNR.

8. RedHat works backward compatibility of LLMNR into mDNS and things get VERY confusing. Or not. Their documentation uses the name interchangeably and honestly, at this point I am not sure of anything and I'm not paid to look at that code for over a year. I wouldn't be surprised if resolved is actually using mDNS but the setting/code is still just "called" LLMNR. /shrug.
