Your second example contradicts the first. "Sending a message" doesn't happen in an instant. There's always some latency, which can be significant in email systems (the most common, universally accepted way to send a message) and SMS.

The goal in messaging is almost always not about the send time (who cares?), but the receive time, when it is available to be read. If the goal is to have the message received at 1:00, then, as you note in the second example, sending it precisely at 1:00:00.000 guarantees it will be received late.

In any case, if you're that focused on intra-minute precision, you should probably be relying on clocks that incorporate seconds anyway.

That does not make it a etter or worse idea though. Realistically, most people will only ever have ideas that someone else somewhere else will already have had.

Does that mean, that the idea is commonly known? Not necessarily.

It is also still an original idea in terms of you having thought, that was not easily derived from what you know (but probably somehow derived, like all thought likely is).
Would you say the same thing about criminal court judges too?
The watches don't need the server to function (I'm wearing one), which seems to satisfy what you are saying.

I think the only major impact is that "coached" activities won't be available, but everything else in the watches works without a network connection. Data history isn't hugely available on the watch either, but that's just an inconvenience.

> The production value is quite high now and still improving so I don't see why the illicit rave experience would be so interesting when the facilities would be so lacking in comparison. There are lots of electronic dance music events on boats, cruiseliners, retired battleships and more.

There will always be people attracted to the underground scene where the production value doesn't rank higher than the energy on the dancefloor.

It's good to have both options but they are very different experiences, the mainstream stuff with high production value is a show, it's meant for people who are going to parties to see specific artists and their shows.

That experience is quite opposite of what a good underground rave is, it's much more raw, less concerned about the surface-level showmanship; artists are there to provide a journey to the ones on the dancefloor but not to be the main star, the main star is supposed to be the party itself.

I really enjoy much more the experience of the underground scene, I don't see phones up in the air recording, I don't see people staring at a light show/screens with AV, the experience of getting lost with a crowd of people, all dancing, interacting among each other.

Personally I think it's quite good to have the mainstream scene, it filters out quite a lot of people who wouldn't belong in an underground rave.

While I agree with most he says, I really don't get why people would push for passkeys like this, it's probably the worse system in existence in terms of UX (as the more likely to get you locked-out of your account) while providing minimal security benefits (the account recovery mechanism is the weakest link in the chain, and as such it's not any better than magic links). The only ones benefiting from passkeys are Google and Apple (and app/website owners who can't avoid mismanaging user passwords, but they have little stake in this game anyway).

I’d say this is a very general article that isn’t well sourced or referenced.
I would never expect powder when I said MDMA, I would expect crystals or pills. Ecstasy is often said to be cut with other substances, but almost never is, because most other drugs are more expensive and less potent than MDMA. There are often impure batches containing meth or other amphetamines, often other "designer drugs" being pressed into pills and sold as ecstasy while not being MDMA, but rarely intentionally cutting the MDMA with other drugs.

Drug pro-tip: anything powder is garbage, crack comes in rocks (crack users aren't all that picky though, from beeswax to swiss cheese to chalk, from white as snow to bright yellow, usually off-white, it comes in a variety of appearances and textures and users savor the cut - the most favored stuff is usually not the purest), coke comes in chunks (white, off-white, even yellowish, good quality stuff has a flaky structure and pearlescent shine), heroin comes in chunks (from white to tan to black, occasionally gooey), weed comes in nuggets (but used to come in chunks, maybe still does if reggies/illegal weed still exists in your area), meth is long usually clear crystals, molly is shorter and more cuboid crystals, usually colored (pink, tan/brown, only very rarely clear).
Facebook is a platform business connecting click-worthy content with advertisers thriving on engagement. The FSB is a content generator with decades experience in producing click-worthy persuasive content. Providing the latter with open access to the former is good business for both parties.

The no censorship idealists ignore that on these „open“ social platforms individual people ideas compete with highly leveraged players effectively being drowned out and being de-facto censored by a firehose of propaganda. Platforms have no business incentive to fix as true, balanced, long form and moderate content is simply less engaging.

The reality is what is good business for the propaganda generators and the amplifying platforms has real externalized costs. At the scale this impacts all of us we should seek regulation protecting the power of the voice of one.
I do not follow, I do not believe this is correct. Third parties introduce the censorship.

In the UK a hybrid is increasingly popular. Start the rave at 2pm, end it at midnight, but it's in a dark room so it might as well be 4am. Usually in some semi-temporary space (e.g. Printworks, now defunct and moved to Drumshed).

I agree this loses some of the spirit of the original rave scene, but as an older person now it fits better for me. If the original late-night scene is dying it's because the younger generation doesn't care very much for this kind of night out.
I mean, they didn't vote for him because they enjoy he lies. They voted for him because the truth is inconvenient to the political agenda they want to see enacted.

That's why pointing out the right's entire platform is made almost entirely of contradictions doesn't change anyone's mind. They don't believe what they believe because it's internally consistent or coherent; they believe what they believe in because if it's correct, it substantiates the other things they already believed in, and/or it reinforces their existing biases. Tons of folks I grew up with will support the Republican party till the day they die because they came from a Republican family that voted Republican because they ARE Republicans, in the literal, identity way. The fact that basically every Republican policy demonstrably makes their lives harder is irrelevant; voting Democrat would be a break from the identity they cohere with that goes back generations.

For as much as the right endlessly whines and moans about "identity politics" it's really the only thing still holding their voting bloc together at this point.

Garmin glass cockpits don’t depend on Garmin services at all. Perhaps updating charts but that’s a monthly thing generally and it’s not done while airborne.

The “not FAA approved” isn’t a thing — there are devices that go in uncertified (experimental) aircraft, but those also don’t depend on live connections to Garmin services.
The article mentions some prices but never presents an apples to apples comparison between the price for a similarly configured device with windows and steamOS.

> It’s a pity we stopped using Latin in favour of scientific pidgin English as universal language in scientific communications

As an ESL speaker and scientific writer: why?

For people fluent in several languages, which of those languages is chosen to communicate makes little difference. I'd argue all (sufficiently mature) languages work equally well for transmitting information to other people fluent in that language.

So choosing the language most people you want to communicate with are fluent in makes sense.

If you favor Latin simply for aesthetic reasons, I recommend choosing a more widespread modern language, that has non-pidgin characteristics. French or German (the latter might require a puritan style guide to go with it) would work well.
Maybe, but I didn't know him, before.

I have, however, been dealing with after-incarceration folks for a few decades, and there's a particular type of attitude that is absolutely required to survive, inside, and that must be completely stripped away, once they get out, as it is pure poison, outside the wall.
I remember a number of years back when Steam started Proton thing, it didn't look very promising. Since then it evolved into an actual OS, it would be amazing if Valve could pull this off and expand Linux gaming into mainstream devices and maybe even PCs.
Warning: I'm not an expert on this or on anything.

W. Sidney Allen's old Vox Latina https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/vox-latina/0D460CEF06E5... is apparently still the standard starting reference for classical Latin pronunciation, at least for English-speakers. (Many nineteenth-century German philologists died to bring us this information, of course.) People such as Luke Ranieri on YouTube use a version of Allen's system, though a number of people including Ranieri claim that there should be five vowel qualities rather than the seven described by Allen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH8E5RKq31I .

Note that if you want to speak Latin that's roughly faithful to how it was spoken up to (but not necessarily including) late antiquity, pronunciation is actually less important than quantity: basically, using clearly distinguishable short and long vowels in the right places (plus not running together double consonants in some places). I suppose it's similarly important to get the stress right, but at least that's generally agreed to be pretty easy. Classical Latin quantity feels weird and unnatural to English-speakers, and to Romance-language speakers, German-speakers ... : words often include one or two or three unstressed long vowels before getting to the stressed syllable, which might or might not itself have a long vowel. Even people who advocate for (classically-)correct quantity often don't consistently get it right.

(And yes, Allen also did publish a Vox Graeca https://www.cambridge.org/ie/universitypress/subjects/classi... , too, but be careful: the pronunciation of Ancient Greek is a question that might actually get you into a fistfight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BybLbHPU7Qc&list=PLQQL5IeNgc... .)
I very rarely play games, and for long time I had dedicated windows installation just for steam and friends.

This was always annoying experience to reboot, hunt for grub, then half year of windows updates until I was able to enjoy my free time.

But thanks to proton, I don't remember anymore when was last time I had to do that, everything just works great on Linux ootb including titles like cyberpunk.

For people wanting dedicated (console like) gaming machine steam os looks really promising.
> might be referring to Malaysia, Thailand, Indo or the PI

The GP is Bangladeshi. The median Bangladeshi is not an English speaking Dev, and that is probably skewing GP's view - same way how plenty of Devs here in the states think it's common to travel to Japan or Europe multiple times a years or afford $3k in rent.

You can take tap water safety for granted across the US (and why stuff like Flint becomes such a major news story). You can't across much of Asia.

> might be referring to Malaysia, Thailand, Indo or the PI

Doesn't make sense in either of those countries either. Once you leave the capital city and go to Kelatan, Isaan, Aceh, or Mindanao stuff gets pretty bleh (despite the massive strides made in human development).

You won't see open sewers in Turlock or Volta, but you absolutely will in equivalent small towns across SEA (excluding Singapore). Furthermore, while the governments there might provide some welfare, it's not at the same level as the US nor is quality the greatest.

And housing affordability sucks in all those countries as well - just like the US. Sure a 2 bedroom apartment might be $300-400k at most, but median salaries are also around $3-10k (depending on the country).

There's a reason why you see the median Indo, Thai, or Pinoy working as a migrant laborer in the Gulf, or the median Malaysian attempting to migrate abroad to Australia, UK, etc.

The average SEAian isn't going to be a English fluent programmer (the target demographic on HN), so what OP thinks is middle class might actually be that country's upper class.

It's the same way you see Indian techies making $20k a year calling themselves middle class when the vast majority of the country makes less than $5k a year, or the tech bro on HN saying $300K TC is middle class.

Reading your comment, could we use another word here, beliefs?

If so then I'm not really against people having their own beliefs, except beliefs aren't facts and they can become extremely harmful, especially at scale, even to those holding onto the beliefs.

I use Gadgetbridge[1] exactly for this reason. It's a FOSS app (on f-droid as well) that tricks wearables into thinking that your phone is actually communicating legitimately with the server.

Garmin support[2] is not really good. Some commenters here mentioned that Garmin watches can work without servers, maybe that's why.

It's not local-first by definition, because you still need a phone with an app, but it's the best I got for now (apart from finally assembling my PineTime watch).

All dumb, manual, HH:MM clocks, that is, unless the setter had patience and used a minute-crossing boundary to synchronize, reducing the error to ~1 second and resets them frequently to not drift more than a maximum of say 10 seconds. Most dumb clocks are likely to have an error of a minute or more because of cumulative drift and few people correct them until they are wildly wrong, say 5 minutes or more.

Or eschew the entire class of problem of daylight savings and drift with a GNSS- or radio time beacon-controlled clock.

Chez's GC is a lot more configurable, and the default is smarter, than either Gambit or Chicken. Chez has a generational garbage collector, rather than the more simple ones. It can also run in parallel mode, to prevent it being "stop the world" - it'll run in another thread instead.

Because the collections are smaller, and you can slightly offload them into another thread, it's a lot less noticeable in usage.

Funfact:

There is a German saying:
"Ford kaufen, Ford fahren, Ford schmeißen"

which translates to

"Buy a Ford, drive a Ford (or "drive away"), throw away [a Ford]."

As Ford sounds the same as "fort" and "fortfahren" -> "drive away", "fortschmeißen" -> "throw away"
I remember that some Garmin employees gave talks on CRDTs at some event. That was 2015 or 2016, so I can not recall any details.
Yeah, we all go through it. I got a degree in economics and we used a program called SPSS developed by IBM to do regression analysis. No one in the industry uses it and it was very frustrating looking for a first job and no one was wanting the software I learned in university. But university isn’t about leaning to uses tool and apply it somewhere else, it’s about the underlying concepts and the people you get exposed to. I don’t use regression analysis in my job any more, but I’m much more prepared in doing numerical analysis than my co-workers who have traditional CS or marketing degrees.

"Awful" would be a kind description of this keyboard. The bottom two rows are aligned, which is the new anti-ANSI laptop trend. Page up and down are now Fn keys. Insert is a function key. PrtSc is long gone. F key font is miniscule. F keys are no longer grouped (unless you count that tiny fillet as a grouping). I'm willing to bet they still haven't added Alt+MicMute as an alias to Alt+F4 (since virtually nobody in the history of computing has needed a keyboard modifier with the MicMute button). Delete is awkwardly wide. Control is sunken in so you can't press it with the outside of your hand anymore. Up and down arrows share one over-wide key. These look like low-travel chiclets. Of course it has Microsoft branding.

I'm willing to bet the ISO variant of this machine is even dumber, with that key that rides right up against Enter.

I hate the Trackpoint. I shed no tears if it goes. It isn't a pleasant experience in Linux and doesn't save any time over keyboard and touchpad, and the entire subsystem is just more crap to debug and waste energy. On the other hand, the ThinkPad keyboard is the only laptop input I consider decent for heavy terminal use and programming.

...as far as copying Apple? At least Apple had the decency to ditch differently sized arrow key pairs. Unless Lenovo offers large gamut IPS or more than 2 watts of speakers or anything at all special, this is "just another" PC laptop.
I hate those tragic links, some of them were sent from third party and infested with tracking links. Worse, it looks like from the site I'm logging in to, but the href is a tracker with redirection to the actual link. I see this frequently because my dns blocks those trackers.

No, this is the point of the article. The person without the seconds could not tell if you were late or not when his watch says 1:00. A display of 1:00 means the actual time is between 12:59:30 and 1:00:30, so there's a 50% chance the person arrived early. Only the person with the second hand could tell for sure.
I have a collection of games on steam going back decades, its the only thing keeping me on windows these days; really excited to see this in action.

That’s because you haven’t tried. You only test what you know, what’s provable. The goal isn’t 100% validation of everything. The only goal is error identification. Surely you know something in science, like the distance to Proxima Centauri. Start with what you know.

Then when something new comes along the only goal is to see which of those known things are challenged.

Testing doesn’t buy certainty. It’s more like insurance, because it successfully lowers risks in much shorter time. Like with insurance there aren’t wild expectations it’s going to prevent a house fire, but it will prevent unexpected homelessness.
