Sony DSC-HX9V had GPS built-in.

Others are connecting their cameras to their phones over Bluetooth which gets all the images tagged with GPS location too. Eg. a sub-$1000 Sony ZV-E10 with an iPhone according to a user on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyAlpha/comments/17sco5v/comment/...
Even after reading the technical explanation I don't understand how such a network would be useful or who the couriers are and how they actually deliver the cargo... Or why that's desirable over just caching the messages until the internet is available again. And what about reliability? How long does cargo take to get to its destination? How often does it actually make it there?
In Italy if you want a decent salary after 40 you have to move to a manager position. I truly like coding, but recent organizations changes lead to a change of role for, leading a team of 8 I have no more time to code. I'd like coding also because it's the easy part of the job for me, but a 15% pay-cut is huge when you are making, e.g., less than 40k/year, which average for a programmer in Italy.
Meh, for me personally I don't care about EULAs, as you say.

And for business, they will use the official VS Code anyway. My own employer is up to their armpits in Satya's ass. Over the last 8 years the MS sales goons have managed to get us to throw out every third party solution they had an option for. We even have to use Edge now.
Sure, but they don’t deserve automatic support from the public for doing it. Unions striking and successfully driving up the cost of their labor can very easily be bad for consumers.
I think it's great that you had the conviction and risk taking appetite to find success and in retrospect be able to say it was the "right" choice for you. I also think there's some great advice in there about benchmarking the road that you're headed down and asking yourself if it is the right road for you.

However, I think this comment veers off into a tone that, for me, is a bit judgmental and prescriptive. Even out of the group of people who are single and childless people have different life situations, people have different risk tolerances, and there's not a one size fit all solution to quitting your job and chasing your passion for everyone. Not to mention unfortunately some people sacrifice a lot in pursuit of what they want and end up with nothing or very little to show for it in the end.

Again I think your comment comes from a good place and there's some useful advice here, but the unnecessary name calling is a bit of a turn off at least for me and overall reduces the effectiveness of communicating your advice.
> Exactly. And this market has a really unfulfilled niche: cameras with a decent optical system and changeable lenses. I have a Sony Alpha camera and it's plenty enough for me in image quality, but I now leave it home most of the time because I just don't want to fiddle with it.

When I leave my MILC at home, it's because the optics are large and heavy, not because the body is. When I do take my camera, I usually opt for the Sony Zeiss 35 mm Sonnar T*, because it's so small. From an optical point of view, it's a good lens, but it's not the best 35 mm lens I have.

For capturing memories, the best camera really is the one you have with you at all times. For creating photographs, the bulk of the camera body really doesn't matter that much.
This will wait up to 1 second before showing a result when a result comes in. I'm pretty sure Chris doesn't want any waiting like that.

This will also print some results multiple times. I think Chris wants to print each result once.
> Primarily append-based, hence robust to corruption

It's so robust, it doesn't even let you modify the journal if you want to (e.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/20673).

> Support for in-line compression

Mind that journald only supports compressing single lines, but not the whole journal (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/31358), which is pretty limiting.
Oh there’s always a few of those, but then there’s the corner cutters who make more of the mess than everyone else, and few impostors who fade into the bushes when there’s a gap in the schedule.
I think you are leaving the human out of the loop. When a friend of mine recommends me something I'll lower my skepticism because I'm assuming my friend would not send me garbage.

If a random podcaster says "I've proved that P=NP" I'd say "no you didn't", but if a math professor sends me that same link I'll keep listening to see where this goes. And I've definitely read texts making wild assertions that only at the end were revealed as hit pieces and/or propaganda.

> From what I can tell, Microsoft isn't even sabotaging open alternatives

I think they are. VSIX extensions are supposed to be some sort of open standard, but some Microsoft extensions like Pylance actively refuse to work if they detect running in something other than Microsoft's build of VS Code.

Nobody disputed that. The entire point was that if this is just a strike without any particular grievances, the public won’t support it much.
I think DoomEmacs is worth a recommendation as an add on to what you’re saying. As it’s basically “slow” nvim with all batteries included + Org mode.

It’s was a very easy switch for me from VScode at least, and while I called it “slow” that is because nvim is ridiculously fast. DoomEmacs performance is still great, for the most part.
I'd like to kindly point out that the real issue here is that it claims to be open source, while the most important parts are not. We are not entitled to demand that entities make their software open source, but accusations of deception don't fall under the scope of entitlement.
Really good job! Just a note your pricing comparison table looks a bit shady. I think you should give either your per year cost compared to the others, or put the document cost on the others. But the way you've done it makes it look like you are tricking people into thinking yours is cheaper. That's just the vibe I'm getting from it. I think that's what you want the takeaway to be there, so I'd suggest updating that slightly.

Working on Alzo ( https://alzo.archi ), a half-SAAS, half-service business giving knowledge management + call for offers / layout automation to french, mid-sized architecture agencies.

It's kind of niche but I'm doing more and more automation on my side, to efficiently build custom one-off layout editors for my clients. Some have surprisingly specific wants (for example : "multi-player live google-slides like editor, but constrained to brand guidelines and layout systems with block-level pick and place across all documents").

I am having lots of fun with that and am trying to move from one-off bespoke systems to a common base + client-specific code.

Edit : it's 90% Elixir and designed to run both on-prem or as a managed service.

I just need something that can feed RAW data to various ML tasks.
I've been using a professional camera (Sony A7C) for a bit over two years now, and my wishlist looks very different than yours.

- Modern computational photography: Imagine having access to a high-end sensor combined modern computational photography tooling. Smartphones do incredible things with computational photography, including HDR, low light stacking, noise reduction, upscaling, and picking out smiling faces from multiple photos. Most of these things can be done in post on a professional camera with tools like Photoshop, but often they are inferior, using a single image to worse affect, requiring a lot of manual work, or just having less mature tooling. I'd love to have access to the raw data and computational pipelines to selectively apply different processing and tweak computational settings in post.

- Better UI: Sony notoriously has a terrible UI in their camera menu systems. Working with it feels like something I would've used on a flip-phone from 20 years ago, with things buried multiple levels down in obscure menus and vague, sometimes poorly translated descriptions. The hardware is great, but the GUI feels like something built by engineers rather than for end-users.

The idea is for the government to spend that $20k/year somehow (and hopefully get a big discount by buying in bulk). Spending that much on countless homeless people, and turning a large fraction of them into productive citizens, isn't "vile" at all: it would make the homeless people much happier for one thing, but would also save the rest of society a lot of money by not having to deal with the negative effects of their homelessness, plus increase the GDP and thus the tax base, easily paying for itself.
He definitely does. People love to punch up and criticize, especially when JS land is receiving a lot of flamewar from Ruby/PHP land. But almost anyone who has actually watched him code or seen what he shipped will tell you he knows plenty:

They simplified the explanation a bit too much in some places and lost details in the process.

I think this is the kind of connectivity that works in places with no other connection, like a village on top of a mountain, an area with long term power outage, places where internet is censored, etc. Some of these cases come with a risk to the courier. The couriers could be for example the regular buses connecting that place to a hub with internet connection. The equipment on the bus "caches" your requests or replies, takes them to the connection hub where it picks up whatever comes back.
In your opinion, was that an effective approach to teaching, either in general or with respect to the specific material? Sounds very strange to me.

I started to also try to avoid polluting as much as possible, by respect for nature, which is my real efficient treatment I think

Ask HN: Is this Symfony PHP project garbage?
I am working on a new codebase as a frontend developer and the backend is in Symfony PHP. I haven't worked with Symfony before but this project seems to be poorly maintained. Help me get a grasp of whether or not this is normal or total garbage.

They are using really outdated dependencies. Symfony itself is in 5.4 and they have 368 deprecations and some critical vulnerabilities.
The project is 10+ years old and there are no software tests at all. Everything is manually tested.

And I did a PHPStorm Error Inspection and it found 650+ Errors, 1,4k warnings and 140k+ weak warnings.
520 Errors are because of "Undefined symbols" though

The project seems to be poorly maintained to me and there are runtime errors and downtimes but the backend team always accuses the hosting service for the downtimes.

is this normal or not, that is the question

Beyond Big Tech: A manifesto for a new digital economy
Scale AI allegedly infiltrated by remote IT worker fraud scheme from Pakistan
As a kid I was out of the house for 12 hours a day playing outside. Although my parents were both working and we had food on the table, we were a pretty poor family. They were both exhausted after work and I yearned for their attention but I guess I could see that they were tired and suppressed my own needs. I became very withdrawn never speaking about my emotions or myself. Then age 10 my mother died and father became withdrawn alcoholic, basically in one fell sweep I lost both my parents. Computers and the internet were my only refuge. Be it pirated movies I could watch or play games.. I was there. At some point I became a really good competitive gamer so that gave me an opportunity to socialize a bit. I moved to a different game and crushed it there and made more internet friends. I got diagnosed with a lifelong chronic illness at that time (Graves Disease) but I still kept surviving. I was alienated from most of my real life friends because I couldn't relate to them. I was in a constant physical and emotional struggle and they were in the seat of stability. I wasted a lot of time but slowly I learned. At some point I realized that games aren't going to be a good financial support so I started learning programming and here I am in my mid 30s with a few years of coding experience(without a job currently and struggling). I can boldly say the internet has saved me, other people where I live and had nothing succumbed to street gangs and drugs. I know that I'm behind many peers I have in terms of life achievements but I also know where I come from and take pride that I've been able to survive up until now. I have stopped walking before thinking it's over but every time I have the strength to sit back up and start walking again.
I'd find this article easier to follow if it separated complaints about telemetry from genuine restrictions.

There is zero evidence that forming a tech union would be successful and result in more pay compared to non-union workers. The first thing to go when people unionize is RSU based comp, which makes up 50+% of income for high income tech workers.

Forming a union is an antagonistic action against a corporation. You’re literally forming a cartel controlling one of their critical supplies (labor). There better be significant upside to burn that goodwill because all comp changes going forward are going to be shitty tooth and nail negotiations for salary bumps and RSUs will be kept for management only.

People at the big tech companies are looking to make life altering money and that comes through RSU accumulation and appreciation. That means being aligned with shareholders, which is the opposite of a union. The only place you might have success drumming up support for unions are mid to low tier tech companies where people make a low 6 figure salary and next to no equity.
They do get info on those that willingly share, but not the other ones.

Problem is that people share so much that those that do not start to stand out and might get penalized as well.

Hackers Found Kias Could Be Tracked, Controlled with Just a Plate
MicroPython supports[1] PIC16 and SAMD21/SAMD51, STM32, ESP8266/ESP32 and more, but it also supports Zephyr as a target, and with it the platforms Zephyr supports[2].

So yeah not everything under the sun, but certainly not what I'd consider a "very small" number of MCUs.

Of course, support level varies among the platforms, but you're not going to be doing too fancy things in MicroPython I imagine.

I think OSS is great, but it's not why I use VS Code. I use it because it solved my problem of having a capable editor that is not a monstrosity (e.g. Eclipse etc). There are others in this space, I guess most famously Sublime, but VS Code always felt the least in the way. There was Adobe Brackets before it that was similar, but somehow very slow and buggy.

The article makes valid points, if you are an OSS enthusiast. But at the end of the day, you always have the source code and you can always run your marketplace. This costs time and money, but if you believe in the idea you have to invest something and not depend on a mega corporation. If there are proprietary extensions that you can't have that sucks, but again someone can build an OSS one.

But overall I agree with the article, I just have no illusions they are doing anything out of belief in open source, and I'm fine with it because worst case I have other options.

An interesting idea but I'd imagine you would have to operate within something like the "100 year flood" boundaries that insurance companies do in order to define a constrained domain such as the Shannon Bound. I suspect you would also have to define the scope of this principle within the company and/or deal with the compounding effects of the multiple layers of the system and its "effective inefficiency."
Which makes me wonder how performance sensitive is the task D-Bus handles?

Most task done over it seems to either fall into the "from time to time but not really performance sensitive at all" category or the "a mass of system events which can become huge" category.

> miss out on the best benefits the best benefits of using binary serialization format

I disagree (wrt. MsgPack), the biggest benefit is of binary formats is that you can ship binary blobs without any encoding (mainly space) overhead while for JSON this can easily be ~33%+ space overhead. And even for just e.g. numbers the space overhead can be bad. I'm not sure what you see as the biggest benefit but not having a minimalist structure isn't a property specific to binary formats (through more common there, and MsgPack doesn't require field names to be included). And bit fiddling micro space optimizations aren't that grate/as much a benefit as drawback. And as a system bus handles (emits) potentially a _ton_ of events saving 33% can matter I think.
What do you mean it’s not a free market? In the western grid I can absolutely contract for access to the grid without any kind of government intervention. So it’s definitely a free market in who can buy and the price is negotiated.

In Texas it’s just a different pricing structure with instantaneous pricing. That’s not more or less free market.
