Good to see they have woken up and ditched Xamarin (though it's a pity it took Microsoft pulling a Google and killing that stack before Bitwarden acted). Cross-platform mobile app stacks are an absolute evil that need to be avoided: all they do is hide complexity and edge cases until 90%+ of a project is done and the specter of doing what should have been done all along -- either go full platform native or mobile web (or at least hybrid web) -- would be too expensive and time consuming to recommend. In almost all cases a mobile or hybrid web app will suit an app's use case but secure and performant cryptography is one where going native makes complete sense. Good on Bitwarden and I look forward to the upgrade!
> Cosmology rests on the principal that physics is the same in all directions, over all translations, and over time translation.

That the laws of physics are the same. That doesn't mean the geometry of spacetime is the same or that the configuration of matter and energy is the same.

What papers? Do you have any references?

Did something similar years ago for tech-related topics: https://old.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/l3kel1/tech_tv/

Didn't get much love from the internet but it was featured on a popular site, along with other similar TVs:

Regarding the iframe, the YT controls. Someone has noted that it takes the TV experience away. I agree, but hiding the YT embedded UI is against TOS. Plus the UI already has sound control, subtitles, link to the video - features that others suggested here.
It's designed for analytics work. Some examples:
* You could run a bunch of analytics queries directly on a jsonlines, csv, or parquet file (or even glob of files).
* You can output directly to a pandas or polars dataframe
* You can use numeric python functions inside of queries
* You can also attach to S3 buckets, postgres databases, or sqlite databases and query them directly.

Every liberal democracy has speech restrictions, including the US. It is illegal to defame someone in the US. Hate speech is illegal in much of Europe and the Anglosphere.

None of this has been a slippery slope to autocracy because that's not how fascists or communists peel back rights. They peel back rights by first undermining democracy and the separation of powers. Then once they've done that, and the Constitution becomes just another piece of paper, the speech rights get removed afterwards. That's the causal directionality.

Anyway, I'm not advocating for more government speech restrictions, so this is a sidetrack. I value the US first amendment as is. But I want private social media companies to do basic moderation. Survival is paramount, and private social media companies allowing rampant race based hatred is doing more harm than good to that objective.

We never communicated across the globe by swiping our fingers across small sheets of transparent fused sand with glowing lights behind them, until one day we did.

There is a screenshot here [1]. The trick is to choose the generic "import data" task rather than "import flat file". Then you have a wizard that lets you play around with the specifications, change things up, look at the errors, go back to tweak things, go forwards to try again, etc. The only improvement I can think of is if you could save what you did as a standalone SSIS package (or whatever).

Sure. Pick a specified load at a specified time and the engineer's job is to build the cheapest possible bridge at that load and time. Raising the safety factor doesn't change the objective function. The objective function is still "cheapest within spec."

This is why bridges are not just huge chunks of titanium. Those would work very well at handling 50 tons at year 70, but would be shitty bridges because they are too expensive to build.

It just got to the front page of HN, which includes a large percentage of users who buy and use WD-40 [1]. That alone might be worth the price of admission. You could also think about this as a collab between WD-40 and Javascript, which is pretty funny.

The author is presumably posting this video and blog everywhere, which only further amplifies WD-40's outreach. And they themselves now have a positive brand association with WD-40.

> I won’t cover other approaches, such as space partitioning or spatial tree subdivision

I'm curious about this comment, anyone know if the algorithm in the article is generally faster than space partitioning/spatial tree subdivision?

A long time ago I used a spatial tree type of approach which seemed naively to be a pretty good approach, but I never investigated or compared algorithms other people were using (this was 80's, pre-internet).
Completely disagree. Pydantic, FastAPI, Type Hints, mypy, pyright have all made python much more enjoyable to use and less error prone.
There's something cool about knowing that other people are all watching the same thing at the same time. Sports are really the only thing that give that feel now a days.
Rust's compiler can prevent data races, for example. (It forbids mutation in the presence of aliasing, which is the root of it.)
It’s not so much freedom to do their job as getting them out of the trained pathways that work well in the nominal case and _then_ letting them use their judgement.

Requiring people to double check that someone gets the right meds is super important 99% of the time. Having a radiologist review x rays asynchronously is more throughput efficient 90% of the time. Having the person with the most experience do triage is normally the best use of his time and saves lives.

All of these are based on assumptions that cease to be true in a mass casualty event.
A hilarious sentiment. If it's true, then these companies marketing their OSS creds are merely disguising their desire to be the next Oracle.
I don't think any environment checks would prevent it from working, but these are realtime audio tools that need to interface with a hardware audio interface via ASIO drivers and I can't really see that going smoothly inside of a VM.
> So you agree that VW directly caused the emissions, and the emissions directly caused the life shortening, you just think the combination shouldn't use the word "direct"?

No, I dont think any of that. Why are you trying to pin me down on my opinion about emissions killing people?

> I think you're in a pointless semantic argument

Yes, that is correct. This is an argument about language, and the nuance of the term 'contribute'. The difference between saying 'VW directly shortened millions of lives' and 'VW contributed to the shortening of millions of lives'.

I am not arguing anything about opinions of emissions or how harmful they are. Just peoples use of correct language.

You call the argument pointless, yet you are still replying!

By the title I was expecting to read about some process to synthesize carbohydrates by capturing CO2 and water out of the air.
Which I guess is basically what plants do.
I recently accompanied a patient through an imaging lab. It was a room full of maybe 10 pieces of expensive equipment, and there was a big line of patients in a waiting room. There was one single technician, who handled one patient at a time, kept disappearing, and even when the technician was there, they spent more time convincing the machines to send the images to EMR than actually taking images.

I estimated that they could have gotten at least 4x the throughput (and 4x the utilization of expensive equipment!) if the process was streamlined. For this single patient, at least 45 minutes and probably more was wasted doing what boiled down to nothing of value.

While actually fixing this seems complex, in an emergency situation, I can easily imagine that skipping all the EMR integration and paperwork and just taking the pictures and having someone stand in the room and read the images would have gotten that 4x throughput improvement, even if the person reading the images would personally have lower throughput than if they were in their office.

(Maybe make the 4x into 8x if there could have been two technicians sharing one radiologist.)

Vim modes allow you to keep your hands on the home row most of the time and make a mouse unnecessary for editing. That keeps my hands, wrists and forearms healthy and for that I am grateful. Of course a great programmer is not defined by their tools. What matters is what you create, not how you create it.
The traditional tiny keyboard is optimized for ease of onboarding, but it sucks to actually type on with any speed. The thing posted has a steeper learning curve, but can be used to type quickly and without even having to glance at the actual keyboard. You can keep it at the back of your phone, or in the pocket of your coat, or have it mounted on the handlebars of your bike. (Actually you can have all three, connecting via Bluetooth.)

AFAIK this is the kind of keyboard military pilots use to quickly type things; you don't have room for a QWERTY keyboard in a jet fighter cockpit.

What I badly miss on the example layout is navigation and manipulation keys. Semicolon + D and semicolon + K have ample room to put there left and right arrows, ctrl + left and right arrows (word navigation), home, end. Somewhere else should be select mode (maybe while holding A), so that the arrows had the shift modifier (selecting) and copy and paste commands (sending ctrl+C and ctrl+V).

OTOH navigation and editing is a separate enough activity to warrant traditional layer switching aka modal editing.

Certainly they're much more complex. More susceptible to malware, too.

But they're also much more powerful. I can get tasks done 10x as fast. They're much more open, too. They have well-defined interfaces for most things, which means I can automate tasks. Can't do that on a phone.

Spirulina, nostoc, fat choy. They're relatively niche though.
While that’s true, I worry about glorifying too much the desperation of the whole situation.

If the same patients had arrived at a pace consistent with normal operations, wouldn’t you expect the outcomes to have been better?

Normally cross-checking medications and dosages saves lives by reducing medical errors. Normally I’d rather not be operated on by a surgeon so strung out that, like the author describes, his mind can’t make sense of words on a page.

There are times when the problem vastly outmatches the resources you have to bring to bear. Where getting things done at all is more important than making sure they’re done absolutely perfectly. But to me the lesson is in deciding which compromises will save the most lives.

Which has to weigh even heavier on the mind of somebody like the doctor here, who understands that “the very best we could with what we had” is far short of “the best medical care we’re capable of.”

is better render as "finally discarded as obsolete by the postmodernists". Since, after all, they didn't prove that symbols do not correspond to reality (they couldn't do that, since that would upend their arguments), they simply asserted that it was so.

As I understand, all 50 states require insurers to write high risk drivers policies through assigned risk plans. I guess you could shuffle the money through the state as well, but it seems like an inefficient way to accomplish the same.

But really, car insurance and their respective mandates exist to protect the innocent, not drivers themselves. e.g. No state requires that you insure your property.

Answer: None of them. Because no matter what project management style you pick, the same managers would be running it. They would still be not listening to anything, still be not fixing anything, still be watching it go off the cliff without any intervention.

In fact, I assert that a good methodology can't save bad managers.

But bad managers sense that they're floundering, so they reach for the panacea du jour, hoping that it will magically rescue them. It won't. It might work in the hands of competent managers, especially if it's genuinely appropriate for the project, but in the hands of bad managers, all you get is disaster no matter what the methodology is.

The incentive would be being able to pay very little to get coverage which insures you even for the circumstances where a safe driver would crash.

> It's not the sort of thing that humans have evolved to eat in bulk quantities

Meh, our bodies can't even eat fatty meat / saturated fat in bulk quantities because it reduces liver LDL receptor expression that keeps ApoB in our arteries which lays down plaque and is independently causal for heart disease, and yet that fact that we've known for half a century doesn't stop Americans from speedrunning atherosclerosis.

Novel foods that our bodies have no evolutionary experience with have an advantage over familiar foods.
