>Phones - at least the mainstream smartphones - are shining light directly at you every time you look at them.

There is light coming directly from the book into your eyes when you read a paper book, too.

Since human vision is complicated and I'm not an expert on all the complications, I'm not going to say there are no visual advantages to an e-ink display, but "in a smartphone, the light shines directly at you" is emphatically not a satisfactory technical explanation of why an e-ink display is easier on your eyes.

Also I own an early model of the Kindle Paperwhite, which of course has an e-ink display, and I don't notice any visual advantages.

Also: my Paperwhite's backlight cannot be turned off while the user is using it to read, and it has a "diffuser" to spread the light evenly around the screen just like a backlit LCD display does. I.e., it is shining light directly in my eyes whenever I am using it using exactly the same components that a smartphone with an LCD display does, namely LED lights positioned at the edges of a diffuser. Is the product described by the OP actually different in this regard? I'm not sure, but the OP does discuss the product's backlight.

Sorry if this comment sounds a little angry, but this non-explanatory explanation you've made and that I've quoted has been repeated many times over the years on this site.
Its an entirely relevant response...they are saying what you call a poorly thought out adhoc format is still better than json in any form or dependency.

Ironically your snark isnt relevant.
I agree. It’s funny to think of the gap between safety and scary when talking about turbulence. Large planes can take an absolute beating and be completely fine, but it could feel like the end of the world inside.
This is interesting and nicely explained. I can't help but think that these models are the reason so many software products aren't properly optimized. The org structure heavily influences HOW things are built, and it seems that unless the org is a GM model with nicely defined apps for each team, then the product is split arbitrarily across teams, and the engineering becomes a mess because you have to patch everything together.
For example, one team takes care of users building profile pages, user widgets, etc., while another team builds the checkout experience that includes building user related features. That makes a lot of sense from the business side, but not so much from engineering side where software is abstracted based on function and other technical matters. The main issue is that ignoring these technical abstraction increases complexity and creates problems in the long run which require full rewrites of the codebases. It definitely impacts business, just not in a way that can be easily demonstrated in the short term.

It's almost like whoever is structuring the company's org model needs to know how to code and implement algorithms and data structures at the org level so that it aligns with what the teams are doing.

I wonder if there is a mixture of the two org models, or perhaps another model, that would allow engineers the ability to properly abstract the product, while business can still manage and connect it to the key metrics. I read how Valve (Steam) had some kind of model where contributors could switch teams easily and work on whatever they were interested. Not sure if this is still done, but I'm thinking some level of self-organization across the org could benefit the quality of the product while reducing the overhead in managing and structuring the org.
My personal theory is what I call Low Dose, Frequent Exposure https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/index.php/Low_Dose,_Frequent_E...

I’m not against the vaccine. I just don’t think I need it. Sure, some people talk about chronic inflammation. But I think I trust my generally normative immune system to handle this.

Nebula says that my genome is at the 99th percentile for serious illness and hospitalization with COVID-19 so this will be fun to see. But I’m going to stick to it.

How long do you think humans have been cooking food
It's a long time ago, but I think the main benefit from the congestion charge money in London was improving the service. More buses, especially at night, which helped the poorest people (cleaners, security, etc).
You can schedule two jabs at your pharmacy, so it isn't that inconvenient. It is much harder with a young child, who...you can get to take one jab but you really aren't going to get two jabs in one sitting. A combined jab would avoid an extra appointment and toy/cheeseburger bribe.

Also, the COVID jab is much harder to take than the flu jab for some reason. I barely notice the flu shot, but for a COVID shot, I actually feel my muscles contracting, and my arm is a bit sore for a week (although nothing beyond a minor annoyance). I wonder what this means for a combined shot.
An Hermes Birkin bag isn't fungible with other bags of equivalent design or quality. That it is that bag by that brand is essential. Most of the price and scarcity isn't for its qualitative or quantitative attributes but rather to maintain the appearance of exclusivity.

I doubt paulcole feels that way about their unicycle.

Yes, fundamentally, the possession of things of value is a signal of means, but that's mundane. Everything you own or do signals means to some degree, but that's different from signaling being an essential property of those things or activities.
Sorry, but what more action would you like to reasonable see right? Sure, we'd all like the currently in stock on store shelves, but these things take time. There have been various RISC-V CPUs shipped. There is a cyberdeck mentioned yesterday shipping [1], there is a tablet [2]. Pi-level-ish boards have been shipped. These things time and progress has been steady. This seems more like a chirp than a substantive criticism.

Yes. The outcome can be used as a ground truth for Ragas, Langchain/Llamaindex evals.
We handed it off to people who were supposed to deploy it, but I had to move on after that so I never got to see it live.

I kind of suspect that the window of usefulness was very short since cell towers were springing up even in really remote areas and they'd be a thousand times more useful even with just GPRS level connectivity.

Obviously. The history of monarchy is full of bad heirs, succession
crises and aristocratic disputes over legitimacy. Under monarchy,
you don't get a say in the fact that your king is AEthelred Unraed,
Tarquinus Superbus, George III, Ivan Grozny, or Leopold II. Say what you
will about republican systems, they have their own issues. But monarchy,
as a system, is just an absolutely miserable form of government.
I wouldn't dream of trading the flawed republic that aspires to respect
my rights for the caprice of a monarch. I don't know where you got your
romantic ideas about monarchy from, but, my friend, read some history!

> My deepest fear is that the backlash spreads the way the hype did (about rust being best for everything) did, and suddenly rust is the choice for nothing.

I could totally imagine its popularity going down in places where garbage-collected languages are fine, but... don't you think it has a future in those places where C/C++ are needed (e.g. systems areas, as you mentioned).

For Rust to lose everywhere would require C++ to win against Rust. Not sure if that's possible.
This would be a great point to support with some sources with hard numbers!

> But if you look at it in terms of 'what are my odds of dying on an average trip' - then they're much less safe than driving.

But is that an interesting stat to look at? You would need to multiply that number by the number of trips, to get a useful measure of risk.

Let me quote the illustrious submeta here:

That just about covers it.
Am I the only one thinking "why wasn't it better?"

Guess I'm never satisfied
I’m bit confused by your comment as a bullet train is significantly faster than this train you mention.

The French TGV has hit 574 km/h (356 mph) nearly 20 years ago. I can’t immediately find the average speed of the TGV, but considering there’s hundreds of km between stops, and that the cruising speed is just over 300 km/h (186 mph), I’d wager it’s significantly higher than the 111 km/h of the Brightline.

In Europe, the high speed rail standard dictates 200 km/h (124 mph) for retrofitted rail and 250 km/h (155 mph) for dedicated high speed rail.

I don't know how you managed to equate it to ambition. But for what it's worth, the people I've seen climb to apex positions -- Principal Engg, Architect, Director, etc. tend to be the ones that stayed at the same company for a long time. They tend to have substantial amount of influence that even the higher ups didn't.

Sounds like you're upset at Boeing and figured you would tell us you're upset on an unrelated thread. Note that it doesn't really matter if you are right to be upset at Boeing or not. It's still unrelated.
Postgres. I don't code in C if I can avoid it, since it often feels like an awful lot of extra typing while still having to worry about memory safety. But the Postgres codebase is extraordinarily well organized and respects the humans that work with it with its intelligent handling of memory and judicious use of macros.

I consider the core Postgres codebase to be the gold standard in development even though it's in a language I do not prefer to write in if given the choice.

The flux follows the inverse square law, however, which means to detect if a rhino is tagged you'd have to get really close. Admittedly I don't know anything about the mechanics of rhino poaching, but considering how aggressive rhinos are I imagine poachers would prefer to shoot them from a decent range for their own safety.
People become statisticians and scientists overnight when it comes to COVID-19 Vaccines.

The science is very simple, get the shot and you reduce the likelihood of hospitalization or death. It's more effective for those with co-morbidities or those older in the age brackets.

I am not sure why this was politicized to death the way it has been. The mandates early on were to curb the hospitalizations / deaths that was occurring. Really the mandate should have been for people with co-morbidities or in the upper age bracket but you know what, people are stupid and everyone thinks they're healthy, so instead of being nuanced they applied it to everyone.

Not that either, for a company as large as Boeing, because of the Eighth Amendment excessive fines clause.
Similar to Amazon's Retail fulfillment infrastructure, the AWS supply chain infrastructure is definitely not a commodity.
It's worth pointing out this is according to JD Power - that industry funded award program that gets featured in car commercials all of the time.

It's also an initial quality study - ie the number of problems reported in the first 100 days. It doesn't speak to the overall longevity or reliability of the car's design, just the presence of manufacturing defects.
Sure, but you may want to use different databases as your application may be expected to be deployed in different environments. I like to keep some of my apps db-agnostic, so I test with postgres in a testcontainer and sqlite outside of one to ensure consistency.
> If driving is so bad, and public transit is so convenient, why are people still driving? [this comes from an assumption that] people are stupid; they don't know what's good for them, so let me enlighten them". It's this assumption that is stupid...make the public transit more convenient and cheaper than driving...look at a city like Tokyo

But that's exactly what they did in Tokyo: owning a car (and finding a place to park it!) is so expensive that few resort to it. I've probably been in a private car in Tokyo only once. Whereas in NYC car costs are socialized (Manhattan street parking is quite cheap when you can get it; you don't need to prove you have parking in order to own one, etc) while public transit is not.

Yes there's a phase transition issue (driving in suburbs is easier than driving in the city, but there's little incentive to transition from one to the other. Congestion charges do exactly what you suggest: make public transit cheaper than driving, and provide the funds to improve public transit.
Here's the meme https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/gpdlp4/the_more_i_l...

It's not so much that it does things others can't, it's that it does all the things, running in the same application space, and things like background jobs, or a caching layer, or cron are all things that most stacks these days need to sort via another library, and Erlang/Elixir apps just do it all on BEAM.
Yes to communicating with each other and knowing what you're working on, no to doing it every morning. Once a week, every two weeks, or once a month is fine. Any integral communication that can't be handled by the recurring meeting, can be handled ad-hoc as you go.

But people who have only done capital A agile and scrum are so buried in the philosophy that they don't understand that there are far better ways to do things.
Wait, there was incredibly limited freedom - with unthinkable, dystopian severity. And those responsible are still alive (and free)
I used to really think hooks were crazy, but now I see them as a reasonable way to write a “DSL”. They are very nice from the viewpoint of reuse and software composition. I have even implemented things in Python that work like hooks.

React does let you do a lot in async, when you are managing the rendering of components something like Suspense could be the right idea but I have a very big application that breaks some of the rules of React but gets away with it and I don’t know how it will do in React 18.
I made the Claude's Artifacts feature for ChatGPT. You can ask any question about html, css, or js and it will render the code in realtime.

Most of Europe (i.e. the parts of Europe that I know) acknowledged that "mistakes were made", and moved on. Nobody really expected an apology from officials for the shit-show, because everybody understood that they were doing the best they could given their situation, and it would be political suicide to admit they acted in error.

What's weird about the U.S.A. though, is that it's still a thing _now_?
Fair point. I’m open to suggestions for a new name :)
This is basically the new flu shot and we'll get the usual litany of anecdotal reports that someone still got the flu/covid, but statistically these shots reduce the number of infections and the severity of infections with few side effects, so I'll keep getting them.

> And lets the President know that his nominees for the 12 new positions will need to understand who's the real boss.

And who, in your view, is supposed to be the real boss? Congress? Or the President?

The Supreme Court is supposed to be independent. Changing that needs a much higher threshold than "bell-cot doesn't like some recent Supreme Court decisions".
It's not clear what can be searched on this. The interface suggests "concepts", and I'm not sure how I would define those in a movie trailer.

Being able to search actors or movies would be interesting, but IMdB already serves this purpose. Searching dialogue is what I was hoping for, similar to morbotron.com or frinkiac.com. filmot.com does this for general YouTube videos, but I would love to see that applied to a quality film collection.
Good examples, I seriously could not think of any.

The difference I see is that those are works that are produced on ones own and then sold to buyers (except maybe the chef, I'm not familiar with that area.) Code, in the above context, is not created first and then sold to the business (unless its code/software one own in the first place). It is work that happens after a problem arises and then one is hired to provide a specific business domain solution.
Sure, nothing is 100% trustworthy, but that doesn't mean everything is equal either. What I am saying is that p65 are an especially bad and noisy signal. The definitions provided by the state are garbage to start with, and then the utilization by private parties is especially inconsistent, with a large number (perhaps even a majority), using the label when they shouldn't or failing to use it when they should.

First it was "a very small percentage of Microsoft corporate email accounts" (their C-suite executives and security teams) and "To date, there is no evidence that the threat actor had any access to customer environments, production systems, source code, or AI systems."

Then it was "access to some of the company's source code repositories and internal systems. To date we have found no evidence that Microsoft-hosted customer-facing systems have been compromised."

And now this.

Honestly though, that sounds... amazing.

I've spent some of my life working in undeveloped, tropical areas. Because of this, I'm vaccinated against a bunch of diseases the average Western citizen doesn't worry about- Yellow Fever, Japanese Encephalitis, Tuburculosis and have seen first-hand the afflictions of the local populations who weren't vaccinated.

Working in a clinic with sick and dying people, while being safe because I myself am vaccinated against the disease is kind of a surreal experience.

While obviously the ideal would be a single dose providing lifelong protection, an annual booster still would make me incredibly grateful that I get to live in this modern, almost futuristic world of preventative medicine superpowers.
Talking to potential customers one at a time is the simplest thing that might work. And it will be work. Hard work. If you don't want that hard work, don't have customers.

Talking to customers one at a time is hard to scale and it is easy to scale zero customers. This mostly makes solutions that scale attractive when starting out. Scaling when you have many customers is hard work. Harder work than talking to customers one at a time.

Good luck.
I think the dip will be deeper than people anticipate. Back to very niche cases. The fact that Linux & Windows is pulling more and more Rust (albeit cautiously), I think secures its future as a C/C++ augmentation for systemsy stuff.

The big C/C++ domains haven't really adopted it like I'd hope they would before that dip: Automotive, Aerospace, Robotics, Desktop, Embedded. It's quite perfect for some of those, but they're fighting incumbents without an eccosystem to back them so that will take a long time. It's not like rewriting sudo or ls, you have to rewrite everything to move from a C RTOS to something like a Rust embedded HAL.
The blurring is for ITAR compliance. It's not SpaceX policy, it's government policy.

My impression from the latest interview was that Elon has not been as directly involved in SpaceX technical decisions since buying Twitter and spending a bunch of time on that instead. So he was less able to engage on technical questions.
>If you have one group that is in charge of creating the rules, interpreting the rules, and enforcing the rules, you can't trust the process is independent and there's equal treatment.

You don't have to trust them. You can sue them for not going through a rulemaking process that includes publishing proposed rules and reviewing public comment, or for a rule that "was arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion."

Heart of Clojure: Announcing First Speakers
An anecdote from today about Apple's App Review Team
I submitted an app update with new screenshots to showcase the added functionality. I took these screenshots on both an iPhone and an iPad, then used a service to generate the required variants for all device sizes needed by the App Store.
My app was rejected because the generated screenshots for the iPhone's 5.5" models (iPhone 6S+, iPhone 7+, iPhone 8+... all dating pre 2017) did not match the app's functionality. I was confused and assumed it was a mistake on their part.
However, I eventually realized the issue: the screenshot generator had cropped the larger screenshots to fit the smaller device screens, which was fine, but the tab bar at the bottom didn't display correctly when the device bezel was added.

TBH I was quite annoyed I had go and fix them manually but I find the attention to detail (of some of them) mind-blowing.
How do you do the verification of engineers?
Does anyone know if there is a solution like this that works well with a monitor that has a webcam on top (e.g.: Dell U3224kba)?
Then use steel or aluminum pipe.
Interesting hardware, but there's little mention of software support and no price listed. I have a feeling if you sprung for this you would be buying an expensive project with lots of driver work left to do. Hope your Mandarin is good enough to read the tech manuals that will probably be near impossible to obtain and full of errors.
