We seem to disagree on the definition of natural rights. For a right to be natural you require that it will be granted by God or that it will be based on human nature, and by human nature you mean to say that it is a direct product of the evolution biology that have created our species. While I would grant you that it's a definition that you can find in many philosophers, following Moore, but in the current context I think that the natural/artificial distinction isn't useful for defining natural rights.

I would argue that this definition is very narrow and limiting, it introduce weird dependency on our current scientific knowledge, and isn't very useful. For instance, when Hobbes proposed the social contract theory he was discussing natural rights but today we know that his natural science knowledge was incorrect and therefore he was actually describing artificial rights. To me this makes no sense. Instead, I will propose, that rights that are derived by reason, that are universal, and that do not depend on a specific state law or the social norms of a specific society are natural rights. They are natural in the sense that they are not dependent on any state or law but are inherent. Those rights are not granted by god, and they are not artificial law propositions. They are based on universal principals of reason and the reality of human existence.

This view and this definition of natural rights is not my invention. It's reflected in the language of the universal declaration of human rights - which recognizes a set of universal rights. The declaration isn't a legal document that legislate a binding law. It recognize rights that are not (let's hope, are not yet) generally accepted by all nations. Nevertheless those rights are not based on God or born by the act of composing and publishing the declaration, those are natural rights. They are natural despite being in opposition to humans natural behavior, despite their consistent violation. It is because those rights are natural that they can serve as basis and justification for international law and justice.

Rawls theory of rights is universal, it isn't about specific social norms, it discuss human society in principle. One might say that his ethics are based on theory of the human nature.
In typical Android fashion, this app is essentially the mathematical inverse of the iPhone version.

The UI on the iOS Kino app is beautiful, crafted, and elegant. The UI on MotionCam (even after the update) is functional, brutalist, and purely an engineering driven, unstyled Android 4.4 UI elements style.

But MotionCam Pro gives full control, and even a RAW mode which wouldn't be possible on iPhone. You can even do ProRes (but it doesn't work very well for long unless you have a new phone with good cooling).

For the purpose I use it for (magnifying glass/telescope, using S23 Ultra), it's wonderful. But I always wished that the two worlds of Android and iOS development styles would collide for a moment....
This must be use-case dependent. I don't use laptops very much, but I still have the parts from my PC from 12 years ago, and I remember the difference from when I upgraded 6-ish years ago. The difference in the CPU alone was significant, not including the GPU and RAM. I expect to see similar improvements on my next upgrade. I don't see why that wouldn't also apply to laptops.

Though, the average person is probably getting significant slowdown from accumulating background applications.

Bringing Rust to Safety-Critical Systems in Space
I’m so glad to be out of the dating scene! But, as a male, maybe I can share an experience that might contrast a bit with the linked story. Let’s call it a confession from an unpleasant man:

I was on a work trip- a few years ago- still fairly newlywed and no kids. We had different offices, and I was making the most of it to get to know people better from the other office. Drinks were involved, it was a big celebration event. Anyways, I was hitting it off really great with someone in another division that I didn’t get a lot of exposure to, but she used the software I was working on. She looked to be about my age. I dont remember what we were talking about but at one point she stopped me, held up her hand, and said “Im sorry, but I’m married”. I was absolutely flabbergasted. Of course I held up my hand and said I was married too- but it really killed the conversation. I absolutely was not hitting on her, but apparently being nice and interested in what she had to say was (incorrectly) detected as a pickup attempt. Anyways, ever since then I’m careful to not be too friendly with other women or to quickly bring up the topic of kids.

This brings me to another topic: kids. I absolutely adore my kids. I love playing with them. I love taking them to the playground. I am so terrified around other people’s kids. Some kid needs help at a playground? Not getting any from me. I want to be nice to other kids, but I’m absolutely terrified someone is going to accuse me of trying to abduct them or something. I feel like a man being kind to kids other then his own is absolutely unacceptable today, and that makes me really sad.
The matrix, blade runner and the Nicolas cage shot that I can’t identify personally. I think it would still be reasonable to have attribution and/or also say that the projects in question weren’t shot with Kino.

Of course it’s obvious that the Matrix isn’t shot with Kino , but I think it’s still good form to caveat that it’s there for illustrative purposes.
Kino is German for "cinema" — maybe that is the origin of the name?
Ask HN: Best VPN and VoIP Number for Banking and Social Media?
It is absurd how using VPNs and VOIPs just flags banking apps and social media. This has happened to me with ExpressVPN and Mullavad. I have been using a Google Voice number for last 7 years that has worked well with everything and also internationally. But I would have no recourse if Google just kicks me off.
Exactly. It's one thing to have objections to some climate policy, it's another to explicitly try to block future projects. God forbid we actually learn something and change our behavior in the future.
That's sad to hear. MVC[0] is still there if you want to use it! Most other changes are there to reduce the amount of written code and the patterns that existed when 4.7 was released are still valid, regardless if newer alternatives were introduced or not.

You know it must have been stressful when you were compelled to list your desserts in order.

Now that we're almost in June, does it feel like the deal happened a million years ago? I know when stressful things happen and time passes, it always feels like it was so long ago even when it was only a month or 2 back.

I switch between 4.7 and .NET (and .NET Core) pretty often.

The differences are primarily around configuration and dependency injection. Everything else is mostly the same.

Don't give up! You aren't starting from scratch, and your skills will easily translate. Once you get past the app startup stages, it's all the same patterns and paradigms.
I believe the point is that the commenter wishes more things operated like that, where adjacent items were related and likely of similar quality, not just boosted with money and SEO trickery.
I'm happy to spend on electronics, but never from that pile of garbage masquerading as a store. I bought a Chromebook, online, for my disabled mother, and its battery failed in three weeks. They demanded that to RMA it it had to be physically brought to a store. Nevermind that they've closed stores like mad so there wasn't any near her, and even if there were she CANNOT DRIVE. Then to add insult to injury, they made it impossible to even reach their stores by phone, all calls go to central call centers now so we couldn't try to set up any sort of pickup with a nearby store.

After that experience, I swore I would never buy a product from Best Buy ever again. Online, in person, doesn't matter. Permanently gone as a customer.
I always got diverted on my way there by Funland Arcade across from Sam's.

All three are gone and it feels like a tragedy.

A lot of what you're describing sounds like the innovator's dilemma. One of the things that makes legacy systems so difficult is that everything is there for a reason, but often the reason is to satisfy a small minority of customers. It's easy to look at a component and say, gee this feature is only used by 2% of customers, we should consider dropping it. But that 2% is someone at the company's customer and they will raise hell if you get rid of it. So naturally the system gets filled with all these special cases to handle niche customer use cases none of which can ever be removed. This is when a startup comes along and targets the high value basic use cases and drops most advanced functionality. Then they start acquiring bigger and bigger customers, complexity accretes to meet their needs and then eventually the startup is the legacy company and the cycle repeats.

The question as a developer is do I want to work on such a system? For me, the answer is a resounding no. If I agree to work on such a system, I will essentially be enslaved to the bad design decisions made before I joined the company. It will never be truly satisfying to work on that system. I am speaking from experience.

But that is why companies pay a salary. The established company mindset is not the startup mindset is not the hobby project mindset. It's up to you to figure out what is best for you at any time and that choice may change as life circumstances change.

The closest I've come to switching to a passion field is that I worked a landscape crew for a summer when I found myself out of work twenty years ago. This was obviously prior to the race to the bottom of landscaping by aliens and robots. Then I cofounded a startup that didn't involve aliens or robots. I know it sounds absurd - but I'm hyperactive.
Also most of the modern phone cameras use AI and other means to optimize picture by default for more pleasant for human eye. That is their selling point.
This mindset assumes that the only measure of success is monetary. If he left Google to try and get richer than staying at Google, then sure, he probably lost.

However, he kept trying again before job hunting or returning to big tech. This tells me the monetary factor was smaller than something else.

You mention the underrated educational experience in your last sentence, but there's so much more than that. He was probably never worried about his autonomy, being laid off, working with (or for) people he didn't want to work with, corporate politics, or anything else corporate bureaucracy introduces. This likely freed up his brain to be more creative and actually be used to 100% of its capacity.

I believe the obsession with TC in tech is highly problematic and there are a lot of talented folks optimizing for promotions via internal politics, rather than solving real problems for real people.

I also wish healthcare wasn't tied to employment, but that's a post for another time.
The Super Mario Brothers and Barbie movies were big successes. Lots of other cash grabs make money too. But the movies that are coming out now were greenlit years ago, during the era when Marvel showed you could print money with just any lazy movies. Things are different now, but this one was already finished.

“I immediately knew I was onto something.”

Every successful bootstrapper who I know personally says this.

The ultimate success didn’t happen instantly but the product/market fit was obvious on day one.

And they didn’t iterate their way to that point. They walked away from whatever they were doing before, restarted with a blank sheet a paper, and the new thing immediately resonated.

Nothing wrong with using MSYS!

Let me tell you as someone who has used virtual machines, done native development, and used tools like WSL...MSYS is really nice in context.

It's not as fast as bare native, but it's leagues better than a virtual machine and plenty fast enough for daily work. It has lots of the latest tooling (just recently it updated to GCC14 a couple days after GCC14 released). It has all the nice toolchains set up with a simple pacman call instead of having to compile everything yourself or go to esoteric sources to get it installed.

Most importantly, it just works the vast majority of the time. I very rarely have to fix something because of an MSYS concern. Almost all of my time is spent actually developing.

(Although they are for different work: That is NOT true on WSL, where it feels like I spend weeks just trying to get it up and working for a few days of productive work)
Interesting, this effect sounds very similar to how the words used to describe wine cause you to taste those notes.
It gets blame because the massive budget

Hollywood can’t make great smaller movies like that anymore without spending $100M which raises the stakes and it also comes with a ton of studio baggage afraid of any sort of risk
That doesn't make sense. A family is by definition at least 2 people, so if they own two cars that's still one car per person.

Thanks for sharing! I'm currently trying out a bootstrapped hw project myself, and have enjoyed following along with your progress.

> NIR sensitivity does not improve night vision

Your comment and its grandparent are both excellent, but I would like to nitpick a bit here. Technically, NIR sensitivity does improve night vision through the simple mechanism of "detect more wavelengths = detect more total light". It's not thermal imaging, but it is the reason that CCTV cameras often mechanically move their IR filter out of the way when the light falls below some threshold - at that point, sensitivity is more important than color fidelity, so they accept all the light they can get, even nonvisible. Of course this is also often coupled with NIR illumination LEDs.

Their sales team is wholly ineffective at swaying me, and I literally cannot compel myself to care about how they are lying to me to close a sale, like "wow that was desperate, google, reddit, the spec sheet, and the AI all said this isn't actually a bluetooth headset, just go get the tent now you're wasting your time trying to prove something to someone else or yourself."

If they just held merchandise and didn't try to sell it, but charged a small subscription to come check it out, I miiiiiiight be still be interested on occasion. Something besides what they're currently doing.
I'm impressed that they are still around.
Since 2013 and onwards, there is a spread of disputed information that Turkic Muslim Conquerors in 1190 burnt down Nalanda University. This was disputed by a historian on x.com: https://x.com/tishasaroyan/status/1719220845502173378?s=46&t...

My research into this traces the earliest mention of Bakhtiyar Khalji attacking Nalanda to be in a book published in 2002 that cites evidence obtained in 2001.
https://vvgnli.gov.in/sites/default/files/Golden%20Age%20to%...

For Hindi speakers, there is a video disputing the details of Nalanda being burnt by Khalji. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9PZ3wyX5AY. English Transcript is available.

Overall premise of the video is that Nalanda's decline was over several years and could have been led from house fires using open lamps.

For the machine I do web browsing from it can be anything, same with my D&D character sheets, anything, right now it is my phone.

But my games need a high end GPU and that scales with time. My workstation needs to build large C++ projects and I will never have enough cores or RAM for that. I am getting a threadripper with 196gb of RAM and the only reason I didn't get more was price. I will use it all, and a hearty amount of swap space.

If someone it just SSHing into things to administer them they don't need more. If some is gaming they always need more.
Hollywood is in a decline for years and pushing politics and ideology in each and every movie didn't help either.

People are just fed up by this nonsense and don't watch it anymore. A similar thing is (finally) happening in the gaming space, too.
Fair use gets tricky when you intermix it like this. Though I must first call out that there’s no actual 8 second rule.

Even with fair use, it’s still good form to attribute it. But more importantly , those images are intermixed among product clips/videos which can fall on the other side of fair use because it may give the impression that they are associated with the product.

That can be a tight line to walk and so it’s again usually best to specifically call out that they are there for illustrative purposes.
> Speaking of accidental taps, when gripping the side of your phone to keep things stable, we found it too easy to accidentally tap buttons.

I have this problem CONSTANTLY with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, not when filming, but when doing everyday tasks. Something about the edge of the phone is such that a bit of my palm goes over just enough of the screen to trigger gestures, and now the YouTube video I’m watching is double speed or something I’m reading scrolls to the top for no reason.

I’m generally good about not dropping my phone (knock on wood) so I’d rather not get a case just to fix this weird touch sensitivity issue. As far as I recall this wasn’t an issue with my iPhone 12 Pro Max.
You absolutely see star trails on iphone night mode photos when setting exposure to 10s or more. For aurora, 10s is way too much though, 1-3s seems right and is what the iphone allows to do when not on a stable surface or tripod.

If you're talking about exclusively personally use, sure. If you're talking about a business setting in a jurisdiction that Mistral can sue in, not so much.

If you are young, single, and can do this in the moral and legal clear -- then yes, do it.
