The rest of the world is an equally muddy marsh. C++: static_cast, C: void-pointers and unions, java/c#: casting back from (object) or IAbstractWidget.

If anything, typescript has the most expressive, accurate and powerful type system of the lot, letting you be a lot more precise in your generics and then get the exact type back in your callback, rather than some abstract IWidget that needs to be cast back to the more concrete class. The structural typing also makes it much easier to be lax and let the type engine deduce correctness, rather than manually casting things around.
> Genuinely curious if people think this is a product, solving a real problem?

For people with memory issues, products like this can be life changing.

On a second note, imagine a world where everyone has perfect memory recall. The concept of "recording" someone is useless, as everyone around a conversation (e.g. sitting at the next table at a cafe) would be a 100% reliable witness to the conversation.

Obviously we would not fault someone for taking steps to train their memory to be better, so why fault them for using electronics to improve the limits of biology?

Happy for some feedback :)
Plus he forgot IBM OS/2 and how Microsoft stabbed them in the back. Look up the DOJ investigation of Microsoft to see the violations. Microsoft used to bundle Windows with Office for OEMs and force Internet Explorer to be the default web browser. Microsoft stopped offering free Office OEM licenses and now installs a trial of Office and the user has to pay for a key to Office or a Microsoft 365 subscription. You didn't get that nonsense in IBM OS/2 or GNU/Linux.
Could be either/or. I long ago lost the brassiere that came with my AirPods Max (not really lost, I just can’t be arsed to dig it out of where I think it is) and they’ll drain themselves fairly quickly just trying to throw out stray connections to any of the five or so devices they can connect to unless I make a point of disconnecting them. AirPods Pro exhibit the same exact symptoms when the contact inside the case needs to be cleaned.
> when it is for their side. They wouldn’t take issue with CEOs supporting leftist social justice issues, for example. But when it is a CEO supporting centrist or right-leaning views, they don’t support it.

I want to push back on something here because I am centrist, even right-leaning in some respects. What Elon Musk has done is not normal. Donald Trump is not normal. He is dangerously unfit for office. The tactics he and Musk have engaged in (such as courting and amplifying extremist groups) have nothing to do with ordinary civil discourse between "conservative" and "liberal" philosophy or policy proposals. And it's a false equivalence to suggest that they do.

As for that FAT driver, it was traditional to include in the SDK/DDK sources of some of the actual drivers in Windows, so that one is not a surprise.
(phones are an obvious choice but I suspect you could jam significantly more power into the same form factor if you didn't need screen, speakers, mobile modem etc)
Cool, it's a bit weird that the Windows download is 32-bit, it should be 64-bit by default and there's no need for a 32-bit windows version at all.
Eventually I'll get to it...
JXL is better than HEIC at high qualities though, which is probably how you want to save the output from your camera.
That doesn’t really answer the question. What real local experience can you have for $1000 that isn’t in your back yard?
The "immigrant-heaviest" states are the most successful in the union, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Speaking as a published scientist, I never thought open access was supposed to "put an end to the era of impact-chasing, false-positives, and unpublished truths." The point of open access is to stop paywalling science by parasitic publishers and it accomplishes that. I also didn't predict that a flood of pay-to-publish journals would lower their standards, but I only pay attention to the top conferences anyway.
It's Windows 11. Functionality and usability are not priorities here.
I repeatedly found some setting - brightness, I think - showed the slider moved all the way to the right when the actual value was evidently less than 100%. Much puzzling later, I clicked the slider thumb, or waggled it, and the real-world setting suddenly leapt to the 100% it was claiming to be at already.
It's probably 64-bit and they just call it x86 on their website. Needs an option to choose where models get downloaded to as your typically C: drive is an SSD with limited space.
Only when you pull them out of the case. Otherwise they just stay asleep. When I replaced my Powerbeats Pro (same fundamental tech as any AirPods) with AirPods Pro, I went about a year or so without touching the Powerbeats Pro and they just sat in one spot not too far from anything they could connect to since I never unpaired them from anything. I pulled them out a year later, and the Beats themselves were still fully charged and I think the case was still about 70%. Couldn’t tell you what I had left the case at though.
Maybe those windows laptops with touchscreens?
Datalog is strictly more powerful than SQL and way easier to understand recursive, self-referential queries than CTEs.
The amount of clicking around I have to do on the Settings window to get find where the hell things are is infuriating. Of course the search feature is just useless. I resort to Control Panel to just get most shit done. God forbid I need yo check a setting on another page and I forget how I even ended up on the page I needed.
You’re a good man! Awesome story
It can be resized vertically, but the UI is lay out in a way that it doesn't make sense to resize it horizontally (not saying that I like that UI layout, but it has got a reason for the limitation).
That's only half of the argument though. The other half is how does entanglement correctly coordinate the probabilistic outcomes, when there's no causal order? (meaning, you can't assume there's a sort of signal that travels between them, because in a different reference frame the signal would have to travel back in time)
> I'm not sure languages without a package manager being the default are nearly as bad.

The autoconf or cmake list of included libraries for many non-trivial C++ projects is usually just as long as stuff in Cargo, especially when breaking up Boost, Qt, or other megaframeworks into individual libraries.

They do "make any user of your library go get the correct versions themselves" but that has been far less of a problem this century thanks to OS package management.
Same. I bought mine in 2021 and now have to use it with noise cancellation off because otherwise there's a very persistent crackling noise. Meanwhile my Bose QCs are still operating like new after like 11-12 years of regular use.
Definitely, while I have volsync backing it up, and the PV is replicated for local availability.... still annoying.
After having past battery degradation issues with Honda, and their dishonest way of dealing with serious design or manufacturing flaws (giving buyers a minor amount of cash back due to a class action and forcing software updates that negatively affected the performance of the car), I just can’t bring myself to trusting any of their hybrids or electric vehicles again. Honda is not the same rock solid brand that people think it is based on who they were in the 90s or whatever.

But even though the battery and performance was a big issue, day to day my biggest problem is the lag in their infotainment system. In some cities with complex interchanges with one lane switch followed by another, the audio cues on the navigation would be delayed and make it impossible to follow. I would switch to using just my phone (on its own without pairing to the car in any way) to work around it.
Indeed every meal should deliver some pleasure.

In terms of its level of severity (and all round insanity) attacking OpenSSH with a backdoor is as if someone had hoax-mailed a packet labelled “Anthrax” to every tech business in the world.

Brazenly stupid and pointlessly broad: the motivation could just as easily have been to cause mass societal disruption (“terrorism”) instead of a targeted attack that just happened to sweep up everyone else in its arms.
I've kept a file called "problems.txt" for the last two years, where I record the many Windows aggravations for posterity (and for when they happen again).
Many many places of the world, if you are ok with not having all the comforts and more.

Usually the most expensive thing is the flight, so you've got to time that well. Go to places for more than 2 weeks and in the lowest season and you can make that $1000 last a while.

The limitations are generally on the traveller's side.

Of course, if you're looking for a full paid cruise, with kids and must have perfect everything in the "best" season then you pay like the rest.

Yeah how does owning private stock work for those funds? Kind of interesting. For most funds don’t they constantly sell and buy each stock to rebalance it
Speaking from the experience of building small web apps for personal use, trying to follow semantic HTML in good faith has been nothing but a source of frustration. The rules are clearly molded around static, primarily text-based documents defined upfront, and anything that doesn't fit this format feels like a second citizen at best. Take headings, for example: in component-based development, I often don't know (and shouldn't care) what level a heading is in my reusable widget, but I am forced to choose regardless. As much as I want to be a good citizen, if I have to fight the platform for it, you're getting divs and h2's everywhere.
There are lots of angry people who are trying to summon a ‘reality’ that they want to see, where their political opponent has suffered for sharing their political views. It’s why this story got upvoted on Hacker News at all, despite it being obviously misleading and easy to disprove. HN users are critical readers on many topics, so to me it appears that they stop using those critical thinking skills when they have an emotional investment in a topic. In other words, this is just like any other political topic in America.
What are you referring to, exactly? That doesn’t sound like AWS at all.

AWS are very well-known for bill forgiveness. It’s not something set in stone, but if your bill explodes accidentally, even due to a mistake you made, they will normally forgive it if you ask them. You don’t need to go running to social media at all.

I'm 35, same weight and similar symptoms.
I'm just always hungry.

I found some sort of balance where I go 5 times/week to the gym, increased muscles and eat very healthy (fruit, legumes, chicken, veggies). It still didn't solve the problem of being always hungry.

I could say it's psychological, but my son, 3, is the same: he is constantly looking for food. My daughter (6) is like my wife and she sometimes barely eats.

I'd love to lose weight though. I have been going to the gym a lot for the whole year, but my weight dropped only temporarily.
You can use Spy++ to look at the properties of open windows on your system. If the window class name starts with "afx:" then the application uses MFC. As far as I can recall I've never seen a Microsoft product built on either MFC or Visual Basic. They apparently don't like their own dog food.

They tried doing stuff in .Net for Vista but had to revert all that; perhaps they've now come back to using it for real, but I know the new settings panel is done in C/C++.
Apple has been literally doing this for years.

The thing is, when adding dependencies _isn't_ trivial, you end up vendoring. You aren't gonna thoroughly test your command line parser if it is a very small feature of your overall project. A dedicated command line parser lib will (more likely than you in this case) thoroughly test their implementation.

Why can't researchers just publish something on a pre-print like ArXiv?

Why do they have to go to Journals that require payment for both readers & authors?

The machine learning/ml community pretty much gave up on the Journal model and most of the ground breaking papers are available for free on ArXiv.

Why are these scientists complaining? Is it just a prestige seeking thing?
Not to mention that food and music both have a third (set of) purpose(s)/value(s): culture.
Yes, you are absolutely right, and this in turn has led to people disbelieving science and things which were once a bipartisan issue, such as climate change, has now been termed a conspiracy by people on the right. This has only happened because people do not trust scientists and science anymore.
In hindsight, I think I mixed up 3.1 and 95 (they’re both before my time). So I guess my actual controversial opinion is that I’m very glad UIs don’t look like Windows 95 anymore :-P

Of course, all this is a matter of personal preference—I just think that nostalgia plays an underappreciated role in these discussions.
Absolutely, I think pets are great at home.

Personally, I find docker compose to be the sweet spot for reproducibility and ease of use. There's some bespoke setup, but I can go from backups and fresh hardware to running apps in a couple of hours.

I switched to k8s entirely because I wanted to learn to use it, and I don't think I'd recommend it for anything else.
No? What a bizarre suggestion
As someone who has garnered much HN karma commenting on film, I'm glad to see an attempt to make a quality film community. It's difficult to bootstrap an online community, let alone one with the quality of HN. You're going to need visitors who (1) visit frequently and (2) have much insights to offer on film. (2) may be more difficult, because you need people who already educate themselves about film from quality sources. [1] Furthermore, you'll need to moderate heavily to enforce an editorial standard and dissuade low-quality reactions.

I share your frustration with existing online film communities. The problems I notice in online film communities (including the film-specific Letterboxd) are:

- knee-jerk reactions that are paltry in analysis (e.g. "old films are better because they were shot on film" or "how dare you dislike that film")

- churlish reactions getting "likes" in part to its humor, not its content

- comments saying nothing more than "look how beautiful/ugly this is"

A couple of questions:

1) This website may become more valuable if it could attract and retain insightful commenters. Is there any plan to achieve that?

2) What made you focus this website on film news? Are moviegoers more able to comment insightfully on news that is in-the-making?

---

[1] This may be the root cause of the decline in the quality of film discussions, like with discussion of many other subjects in our age of social media. Most people do not engage with quality sources, which lowers their expectations for discussions in general. One can still find substantial information in publications that enforce editorial standards, such as trade magazines and journals on film studies.
Yes, ARM CPUs can do it too.
It is in nobody's individual interest to switch from an established journal to a new one before at least half of the rest have switched, so nobody does it. Scientists are also being squeezed within an inch of their lives by the career advancement / funding system leaving no time for the organization of this kind of change.
There was a story of a hit and run in Florida recently where the teenager lost one earbud in the car that hit him. Using Find My they found the driver who hit them and arrested them for felony hit and run.
Right, he could just end by stating that corporations employ useless people who then do useless things to justify their employment like they always did, like every large organisation ever. But then he had to go all modern identity politics on it. It fries brains of its opponets just as much if not more than its supporters.
Every time a political topic crosses the front page of HN, it receives a plethora of attention and the debate is constructive and informative. These threads are some of my favorite, but I can understand why other HN users have no interest and perceive it as off topic. I’d just like a community that was as informed and thought provoking as HN but focused a bit more on world affairs and a bit less on tech. Reddit, because of its obsession with jokes and memes, will never get there; even in the most serious subreddits
To me it seems obvious that the end goal is something with identical functionality to the AVP but in the form factor of a pair of wraparound shades, and that somebody high-up at Apple decided it was perfectly acceptable to set money on fire for 20 years if it let them eventually get something like that to market before anyone else and thereby replace the entire phone/tablet market.
> It's searchable, has a consistent and intuitive grouping, a simple way to get help for each individual setting and an import/export functionality.

IIRC, Eclipse had all of that (or maybe all that except for import/export?) five+ years prior to VS Code's first public release.

And given that "Do a substring search through this huge-ass mess of options and switches and winnow down to the matches" is such a blindingly obvious thing to add in when you get so very many options in your configuration GUI, I'd be shocked if there weren't several things that predate Eclipse that did that, too.
neocities?
Yes, hence tripod and photographing buildings, as mentioned in an ancestor comment[1]. On a windy day (enough to shake the tripod) or on shaky ground (cars, trams) I guess this might still not be enough.

I would absolutely die of laughter if Tim Cook came on stage and said "we worked really hard and we think you will agree, this iPhone is definitely in our top 3 iPhone models ever released. It is really quite good. Seriously, its nearly as good as last year's model, which was great!"
What the article doesn't mention is that the original study found only association, not causation. So it could be that the processed meat was stuffed in white bread, drenched in ketchup and washed down with a big pail of sugary drink, follwed by a chocolate sundae. These additions could plausibly contribute to diabetes risk.

Also, the strongest association was with processed meats and less with unprocessed red meat. I think that a high quality steak with a side of salad is not comparable with spam on wonder bread.
"Nobody is coming for anyone" is just wrong.

If there's an edge, people will use it. Car manufacturers share data with insurance companies[1], which can impact drivers' insurance rates or lead to coverage denial.

Do you believe the same thing will never happen in healthcare?

Do you believe that sophisticated criminals won't engage in large-scale fraud attempts? In 2021, about 23.9 million people (9% of U.S. residents age 16 or older) had been victims of identity theft during the prior 12 months.[2]

You haven't been hurt by this sort of thing, which is great for you. But millions of other people aren't so lucky.

I believe the performance reported in their paper is circumstantial. It’s not that much faster when I tried it, and not worth the horrible macro syntax.

I think it's more likely it was an expected dud (look at how limited the manufacturing numbers were) and they were perfectly happy setting the money on fire for however long it takes to iterate down to that eyeglass-sized device 10 or 20 years form now.
They sabotaged Linux, not because it was already an alternative, but because it had a strong potential to drive them out of the market.
Haha, maybe Gen AI needs will finally drive up memory needs and the memory installed in most device, but i doubt it.

Apple still happily takes 1800$ for 8GB laptops. Wouldn't be surprised if that were their most sold SKU ans the laptops sold today will be around for quite some time.
macOS 14 / Safari 17.6 shows static pics, but no animation.

Honestly, I wish all animated image formats would just die. They are an inefficient way to animate images, because they only use intra frames. H.264, H.265 or AV1 should be used for animations. Fortunately, Safari can display video files in <img> or CSS images, which makes all animated image formats unnecessary.
A big part of the challenge for launching the camera app is getting the hardware ready and quickly freeing up RAM for image processing.
> Nobody looks at an iPhone and says "ugh, Chinese crap".

Well, the really important parts are Taiwanese crap. ;)

But (more seriously), the thing to remember is that the "Chinese crap" stereotype dates back to the days when China didn't have a notable electronics assembly industry... so nearly all the crap hitting US shores was cheap crap. Japan was the big Asian tech producer back then, and we still did a substantial bit of consumer (and industrial) electronics production in-country.
O rly, so when he announced full self driving in 2014 which would make cars by other manufacturers uneconomical ... He wasn't just taking out of his arse?
Or when he peddled his hyper loop, the concept from the early 1900s that is unachievable without revolutionizing basic science to a degree, that this hyper loop would become a mere sidenote in comparison

Or the solar roof village, which didn't have even a single roof tiled with working panels back then.

That could be somewhat true if Settings was feature complete. It's not really for iPad audience if you have to spin up RegEdit and google for an afternoon to do half of the stuff you could do by clicking around Control Panel.

Also, ability to filter or sort a list wouldn't confuse iPad audience all that much, would it?

The fact you are trying to copy someone shouldn't prevent you from making it better in some basic ways.
Windows 95 might have been the last time anyone actually sat down and thought through how to design a UI. Everything since then has been a reiteration on previous ideas.
