Hey, author here, feels really nice to be HN famous (as defined by your stuff being on front page without you posting it). AMA and feedback welcome I guess. Wanted to write a book on this topic over the pandemic lockdown, but then I felt it

Wasn’t this on AppEngine in the early days? Yeah, if this is the same thing it’s probably the first queue I learnt / used. Will add it in.

A Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. Just did over a 1000 km on the way to their annual festival, and kept wondering what the “correct” riding posture was. Either HN read my mind or a a bunch of HN’ers are in Goa now.

Just to be clear "force projection" is a euphemism for bombing the shit out of something?

Huh. So they used to do this, but looking at the M series chips it seems like the architecture assumes the CPU-GPU-RAM are all on the same chip and hooked into each other, which enables zero copy. Someone more well versed in hardware could

It’s absolutely not, and that’s fine. The video has statements that the machines are made to “last for years” and they want to save natural resources be making long lasting machines. I’m currently at 4 to 5 years on laptops and 3 to 4 years

Yup. The article mentions it was an “explicit” decision to use this approach instead. Seems much more effective than CSP headers.

Stealing bread to feed your starving family is one thing, planning a heist doesn’t feel like the same thing. Isn’t shoplifting not really the kind of case for which Google data would be requested?

When I look at paper titles I like to switch the words around to see if the paper is talking about correlation or causation. If the title was changed to "People with high GI cancer risk tend to habitually skip breakfast" does anyt

I don't think anyone builds in a vacuum these days... Everyone builds everything standing on the shoulders of giants.

That's a little misleading. Git was created in 10 days in the same way that Apple was created in a garage in a month. Or the way that Facebook was created in a dorm in one night. Git v0.0.1 might have been created in 10 days, and the f

If someone's a pro, they'd charge a flat rate to tell the customers what they need, or for a given outcome. Like a flat rate to spec out an MVP. Or to get to $X in revenue.

This is the old my kid was two feet tall a year ago and three feet tall this year, so by the time she's an adult she's going to be as tall as a house!

There go the next few years of my life. Easily the game that has had the biggest impact on me as a person, maybe even my career.

I haven't used C# in over a decade, but I was already feeling that way - there's just a lot in there. Go seems to start with a default no to things, so that might be why it has a relatively small surface area.

Go 2 is coming out every six months as continuous Go 1.x releases.

by sudhirj 3y ago
It becomes a semantic difference at that point. If Go is doing semver, and there are going to be no backward-incompatible changes, there's no reason to ever increment the major version. Everything is a minor version (compatible additio

Amen to that. I get super excited about Go releases because they often add useful stuff with zero breakage of anything (just free wins all around). It's not clear that any part of the language is so broken that backward compatible chan

Slightly side topic, but would a telescope on the dark side of the moon be shielded from all of earth’s radio and visible interference? And if not on the surface, is there a Lagrange type point beyond on the far side of the moon that’s a st

If I go into my iCloud account and remove the device off my list, does activation go away even if I didn’t explicitly remove it before I get rid of it? If yes, that would be more than enough at this point.

That’s still a mess, if the particles are magnetic a magnet will be a way cleaner and more effective filter.

They design to meet their internal (supply chain and exec decision) constraints and considerations. Sometimes those factors align with ifixit’s scores, but that’s more likely a coincidence.

But the Vision stereo cameras might be able to pull it off. Not necessarily in 360 (though Apple was showcasing some environments there as well), but at least from a single POV, taking viewers along for the ride.

by sudhirj 3y ago
Will try to take a crack at this. Two underlying principles I think will drive the Vision pro are: 1. The need to live vicariously / voyeuristically: it’s possible for me to at least a two-sense experience of sky diving, bungee jumpin

by sudhirj 3y ago
No, I actually think he has it spot on. While they're both headsets, I think the Vision is more a replacement for the Mac + Displays + maybe iPad line. Just like I have a PlayStation in the family+friends living room and a multi-monito

From a privacy point of view? Yeah, I’m ok with that if it stays on device, as is usually the case with Apple. The iPads and phones have lidars as well, no? And I’m going to be napping my home to plan renovations etc. Much rather have every
