perhaps i conveyed it a little incorrectly. empathy is compulsive but allowing those feelings to excuse behaviour is a separate matter.

depressing stuff! a misinterpretation of empathy is dangeous; there are countless faultlessly unfortunate people that deserve empathy and opportunity, yet there are just as many individuals undeserving of the excuse.

Big O basically drops constants

O(2n+1) = O(2n) = O(n)

o(2n+1) > o(2n) > o(n)

Both define upper boundary, but big O can read like "the function is generally proportional to ___" and little o can read like "the function is never more than _____"

the liability model of these models is poor, i think progress in that domain should be a heavy focus.

> CNCs did not remove need for artisans

is spiritually untrue. as cnc grew, machinists shrunk in headcount and wage.

it's like claming that online shopping hasn't killed malls. malls do still exist, but when is the last time you've been to one? was it busy?

soul is probably not a performance limitation; fancy/fluid animations dont hurt frametimes any more than stiff motion. realtime 3d is just so much harder a design space to work in, with too many DoF to properly attend to every parameter.

strong leadership with narrow scope makes the best version of anything.

waymo, uber, lyft, etc. are akin to a classic black cab service where you call a number to make a sort of ride appointment. these never needed taxi licenses, as taxis are specifically hailable from the street at will rather than prebooked.

thankfully the astroturf is sufficiently ignored

it's too generous and contributes to their reliability woes

Github would hit four nines if they followed suit. no clue why the dont try

unfortunately you need hot air for most slim motherboards if the 4GB NAND fails. only trinity revisions (early slims) have the pluggable module

overspecced cpu is useful for x86 translation, but yes the gpu is disappointing

nope, because if anyone else talks the focus then shifts to them and nobody can see your screenshare. you have to instead use obs' popout preview and screenshare that specific window, which doesn't work if you dont have a second or third monitor due to always needing to be maximized.

you can even replace the whole computer if you tinker enough, since it runs Linux. whether or not that is a good idea in principle with _any_ vr headset is debatable.

AR glasses are much more suited towards that vertical at a lower cost, yet imo still struggle to be compelling in productivity.

it's a client feature because zoom is terrible. you composite camera and screen on your end so viewers see it on one screen, and the zoom cloud recorder records only one streaming source at a time. without third party integration i cant save my camera feed and screenshare at the same time in the web version. it's terrible.

not if you have to host meetings! the web versions are feature incomplete and don't support something as simple as screensharing with your camera overlayed in a corner (essential for recorded meetings).

the zoom linux client consistiently locks up my entire computer whenever i copy from the chat. ridiculous.

The real "world's best websites" are ones that can display their static content performantly and responsively without JS, while correctly conforming to baseline.

you're missing blue bubbles, computational photography, and FOMO. re: nothing actually important.

many people have a phone as their only device though, so great screens and cameras and everything else are easily rationalized behind the managable cost of carrier plan's indirect loan.

hopefully 'college prep' or the like. so highschool-level (low bar)

formal verification is great and all, but you can never make it as ergonomic as functional verification. this matters for agents and real people alike.

formal verification requires a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms to write correctly. yet nothing prevents you or your agent from changing invariants to fit the algorithm and making it incorrect.

static allocation is de-facto standard in embedded for obvious reasons, and works really well there. in operating systems with more complex memory models designed entirely around dynamic workloads, im not sure asking devs to adopt another slightly complicated design pattern that imposes new hard caps is any less of a cognitive load than before.

i can't bash the functionality and correctness aspect of static allocation, but it is akin to the humble linked list in the sense that you should already know going into the problem that you need it.

this is a very stange reason to take a stance against (forcibly) opening up ios?

it's not like the types of webapps that are broken on firefox dont also force you to install an app if you're on a phone.

i do wish govts. with spines had real power over big tech besides threatening userbase numbers, since basically everyone in the space is due for a breakup

one time i made a nlp-based syntax highlighter for english ebooks, and it was pretty interesting.

in using it, i believe that it's a little handholdy and reduces expression when every word has some color based on it's part of speech. intentional application of this would be incredibly fun to read, if not incredibly tedious to write

posts like this only get on hn because nobody on hn actually reads them.

im concerned it ever caught on at all. not only is it free advertising that devalues your work in the eyes of some, but also indicates you let a harness write to git in the first place

old nvidia cards are pretty terrible actually on linux due to the proprietary drivers not working on mainline kernel after ~6.6

the DSP at play here is more than just an equalizer, and as such an audio file cannot be produced to illustrate the differences in a meaningful way to unknown target speakers

coffee houses (previously a threat to the monarchy) would buckle at their knees in front of the dose in caffiene pills or energy drinks

even tobacco has turned to vaping to deliver more nicotine quicker

dystopian. it's not like this will somehow prevent middle-schoolers (!) from getting addicted. it's a bigger problem than you'd imagine

...a series of IDEs offering curated experiences for a specific target language

The Java and C++ IDEs are separate packages built on a shared base.
