I'm curious what the impact for most people's mindsets will be here? I'm imagining that it relates to what many people consider "talent" with kids? I know that has been an odd trend in some states trying to get rid of "gifted" programs and such. I have largely remained hopeful that that was not nearly as prevalent as online represents.

Probably want a `-vf fps=1/n` in there (where n = number of seconds) to trim the film down to a manageable number of frames.

(you'd ideally do some "clever" processing to combine a number of frames into a single colour strip but that's obviously more faff than just a simple `ffmpeg` call...)
It amazed me how people would say we could not afford $3000 a head to run optic fiber to rural homes ($5 a month for the 50 year lifespan of the fiber) but instead we're supposed to dogpile in coastal cities where it costs upwards of $500k to build a modes housing unit.
That's a very good point. The system design of the airtags assumed a much shorter battery life, which may have led to decisions that would introduce issues at 10x battery life. Thinking more like overflow issues. But could also be a complete non-issue. Hard to say.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but generally car break-ins are much more frequent than muggings. And bringing a bag of expensive equipment into the bathroom is almost certainly less risky than leaving it somewhere, whether in your car or elsewhere.

I have a QoocamEgo and have found it pretty disappointing even at that price point. It takes about 30 seconds to start up, chews through battery quickly, and has poor autofocus. I set focus manually by guessing and then use "sport mode" (1/120second) otherwise it will use low shutter speeds which produce motion blur handheld. Also, even though it will shoot close up items, I've found that the offset is too great for most viewing scenarios. So, I would say composing images that include subjects 3m to infinity is about the best.

> The difference is ... [whether] all references/pointers are implicitly nullable [or not]

Right so we're narrowing down the actual problem here, which revolves around implicit vs. explicit, compiler support vs. on-your-own, static vs. dynamic typing. I agree with you that I strongly prefer explicit over implicit nullability, assuming it fits within the idioms of the language. But this is a stronger condition than static typing, so to believe "implicit nulls" is as irresponsible as a doctor not washing their hands, you* have to believe that everyone using dynamic typing is even more irresponsible than that. There's a place for dynamically typed languages, there's a place for implicit nulls, there's a place for strict type- and null-checking, there's a place for mathematically proving code correct. Engineering is always about tradeoffs -- it's way too simplistic to just say "null bad".

IMO those expectations are not reasonable at all given the description of the software; they sound more like anti-goals.

When I see “single HTML file” it conjures up the same expectations as when PocketBase[0] describes itself as an “Open Source backend in 1 file”.

That is that I can copy that file (and nothing else) somewhere and open/run it, and the application will function correctly. No internet connection, no external "assets" needed, and definitely no server.

This mode of distribution, along with offline and local-first software, avoiding susbscriptions and third party / cloud dependencies, etc. all appeal to me very much.

So far I'm impressed, I appreciate the nice, dense and uncluttered UI out of the box and it seems to cover enough functionality to be useful. I'll definitely look out for a chance to give it a spin on something real.

Inspired by this blog post I just added an `#[implicit]` field feature to the `thiserror` crate. It makes it easy to automatically annotate errors with things like code location (per this blog post), a timestamp, or a backtrace without requiring further modifications to the thiserror crate.

> It’s also a leap from the “MacOS 9 was not an OS” GP position.

That wouldn't be the first time I've heard that statement, even among classic Mac enthusiasts.
What is currently happening is the exact opposite.

There is a so-called "Technology Alert List" — a list of critical areas (nuclear, missiles, AI, etc.). If a person has a background in one of these areas, they get an automatic U.S. visa refusal during the interview.

Their visa application gets placed on indefinite hold (the so-called "administrative processing"), which can last for years even if it is eventually resolved.

Why? The U.S. government fears espionage. They worry that someone with expertise in a critical field might immigrate to the U.S., secure a job at a company with access to sensitive, export-controlled technology, and then leak that technology to Russia.

Even without espionage, such individuals could gain valuable experience in critical areas and later emigrate back to Russia — a reverse "brain drain."
Very few movie shoots actually own the camera they use. It's standard in the industry to rent a camera from a vendor for the duration of filming, which makes the MSRP of the camera, if not totally irrelevant, then a pretty minor detail.

> In summary, mizu.js is free for open-source and non-commercial projects, while a small contribution is required for commercial closed-source projects to support its development.

That's... weird.

I've evaluated front-end frameworks in the past and considered both free (open source and no cost) against commercial. I can't explain why, but the mandatory donation for commercial use just rubs me the wrong way.

(And don't get me wrong, I've published my own basic HTML templating library here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pogon.html)

Perhaps I can explain it this way: If I'm doing a hobby/learning project, there's no obstacle to using Mizu. But, if I'm a rank-and-file employee, experimenting, setting up the $1 / month donation is actually a huge obstacle. It's not the cost, it's the actual act of handling money. Furthermore, Mizu will need a lot of paying customers for the monthly donations to actually pay for anything substantial.

Personally, I would think more carefully about how to derive income from Mizu.

Yes, that is indeed very true.

I might be missing something but Apple was the first (major) company to ship USB 1.1 in 1998 on the iMac. It was a big deal IIRC also because they removed the floppy drive at the same time.

But maybe you are talking about something else?
> Apple sold the first widely-available computer with USB connections, the iMac G3.

They were also, simultaneously, the first manufacturer to really go all-in on USB. Some PC manufacturers at the time were including one or two USB ports on their systems, but relied on legacy ports (PS/2, serial, parallel, etc) for most functionality. Their USB ports were mostly a show of "look, we have the new thing" - much in the same way that modern PC motherboards may have a single USB-C port on the back, actually.

An equal but faster/more numerable intelligence will still mop the floor with you.

I like the focus on simplicity, but I really wish frontend frameworks and libraries would stop abusing HTML.

Markup should only contain content and presentation. If it needs to be templated, then that's best done using a separate syntax.

If we need functionality, then that's the domain of JavaScript and programming languages.

We learned the importance of semantic HTML decades ago when we stopped using style elements and left this exclusively to CSS.

Separation of concerns is important. Yet modern frameworks insist on blurring these lines for some reason, and we end up with bastardized syntax, writing JS inline in attribute values, and cramming dozens of utility classes to style a single element (Tailwind is an abomination).

I don't mind frameworks that embrace components while keeping this separation clear. I think Svelte does a pretty good job at that, or at least it does a good job at hiding the magic it does to achieve this illusion from the developer. But from my limited exposure to Vue, React and Angular, these are not frameworks we should take inspiration from, and mizu looks even more jarring than those.
I'm authoring two, One that's a keyboard based mnemonic launcher for accessing various websites. It's basically a way to have your bookmarks outside of the browser and quickly accessible. The other is a tabbed markdown document that can render static copies of itself.

The two projects out in the wild that natively work with this approach are TiddlyWiki and FeatherWiki.

I see room for a lightweight version of a calendar, a world clock, and even a lightweight spreadsheet that could be useful. I also have an idea for something I call a link trap where you can rapidly just drop links in and then search and sort over them to quickly retrieve something you saw before that was interesting. Sort of like my bookmarks-outside-the-browser except more of a history-outside-the-browser.

That said, I can also imagine having a separate more-visible address used for interviews and resumes, in order to protect a main/personal one.

Windshields should have been laminated back then (a lot of manufacturers were using it in the 1930s). It's oddly difficult to find when it was required in automobiles in the U. S.

Oh, and yet *eval is the heart and soul of the demo? In fact, it looks like the principal action--creating buildings--is performed by... the progress bar? That's low-cohesion and high-coupling if I've ever seen it.

I would want to know: what are the Mizu ways of modularizing code to increase cohesion and decrease coupling?
