I mean, I get how Youtube works. I understand there is a distinction to be made, if I cared to make it, between Google's ads and creators' ads. My point is that Youtube premium is not ad-free and explaining how Youtube works doesn't refute that point. You may think it's fine that Youtube premium has ads because that's how Youtube works. I respect that. I still watch Youtube all the time myself.
Yes, all of that is correct, although I think you have conflated "address bus" with "program counter".
Either it is specific to USA or the data is weird, https://www.codingdojo.com/blog/the-7-most-in-demand-program... reports that in January (based on the same Indeed.com site) PHP is behind C#. PHP is powering >75% websites it just makes no sense to not even be in the Top20
I've always been frustrated by the promotion of this kind of list. Yes, it matters what the demand for a given skill is but that knowledge is virtually meaningless without also having information about the supply side!

If 1,000,000 companies desire talent $foo which 2,000,000 workers have, it's not going to lead to as many opportunities or as much leverage as talent $bar that 300,000 companies desire but only 50,000 workers have.
The Wayback Machine would fit the bill.
I'm also exploring that avenue, but with Haxe, which also support xml literals, macros and pattern matching, but can target any language.
I encounter a lot of people with the "species-ending nuclear winter" false belief, and their attitudes are usually something like, "Oh, what can you do? Just have a drink and enjoy the fireworks."

I get the sense the author is working against this line of thinking, because there is in fact a lot you can do (both in terms of preparing and in terms of responding).
Yes, definitely rough around the edges.

The DB, Auth, and File Storage is all Supabase. The web framework is SvelteKit, and I'm using Sendgrid to send emails. Also using Tailwind.

I've been coding for a long time, but have been working on this mostly in off hours so I haven't been able to give this the polish I'd like to. If you have any screenshots of the nulls or undefineds I'd be happy to fix them.
Has any technical product ever organized as a co op and been successful? Such a weird criticism…
Main problems people have with Python are:

-very slow

-GIL

-not enough type checking

Nim fixes those while keeping things which attract people to Python in the first place. It should be enough of a selling point.

I write most of my code in C + Python (and sometimes in Python + C). For me Nim ticks all the boxes, even the minor ones (how syntax looks etc.). I can't wait to give it a try once I am done with my current project.
I think it's pretty easy. Can you honestly say you get more work done in a day with constant interruptions and distractions? Not only output is affected but the quality of the work completed. I might get the same volume of work out the door but if Im distracted I promise there are bit and pieces that have careless errors in it, which leads to re-work. This is something that you can easily ask your employees if they'd like private working quarters vs open office.
Agreed. Feed their interests and watch where it takes them.
I hope you're right, but past Google initiatives into the developing economy markets (like Android One) haven't been too successful (so far)

There's better options in the $50 - $150 price range for smartphones than Android One. The same with laptops - a $150-$200 x86 laptop running Windows is much better than the equivalent ARM Chromebook right now.

And that's just for new sales. Another reason is the large market for used products - which provide better performance per dollar than most products which needs to be manufactured (and maintain the same 'expensive western brand' status-orientated in cultures, and income unequal economies (which is strongly correlated to consumption of luxury goods).
For me, it really comes down to energy.

It takes me lots of energy to ignore something. Like someone walking behind my computer monitor. Like someone having a loud unrelated conversation next to me. Like being conscious of my appearance and behavior (out of respect for others). And it takes energy to solve problems and write great code.

I simply can't do it all every day, day in and day out. Monday is fine. I can work long hours on Monday in the office, getting lots of good work done. But on Tuesday, I am irritable and can't focus as well. By Wednesday, I'm useless. If I go into the office, I come home exhausted, unable to even speak.

Fortunately I can work from home, but it's a heartbreaking trade. It's not as much fun (or productive) to collaborate over the internet as it is in person. I am definitely not going to accidentally end up going out to lunch or coffee with a new friend. Etc.

Comments to the tune of "suck it up", "wear headphones", are nothing new to the ears of introverts. We've been dealing with this _extroverted culture_ all our lives. Extroverts thrive on stimulation. Introverts drown in it.
You can sue somebody because your policies are violated? When did it become actionable to ignore airline policy? IMHO policy is something internal; your customer pays money and gets product/service, and that's the end of the arrangement.
This is exactly what I meant - the technical solution is not the hard part, gaining widespread adoption is.
I'm thinking of things like TodoMVC. There's an abandoned list on nodejs.org that categorizes many of the earliest npm modules. A lot of those modules have matured and are still in use. MicroJS.com is another one I'd probably reference. Curation is a problem in most languages, especially popular ones. Java definitely has the same problem, and anyone wanting to develop native cross-platform apps is faced with similar bewildering choices.
Interestingly enough, it may not even have been as complicated as that.

According to one Reddit commenter, the UGA calendar is left wide open for submissions - and in some cases, posts may be under minimal (if any) review. So it may be that he simply found the wide open URL, filled out a form, and hit 'submit'.

http://www.reddit.com/r/gatech/comments/2quflw/georgia_tech_...

Seems like that would be fair game without using Tor or some other proxy - since there are no terms or conditions of use mentioned on the form, seems like it's open to anyone to post. But who's to say?
>I guess I have yet to meet the perfect introvert with poor social skills who can understand everything that I ask him (or her) to do, who gets the work done quickly.

Well, if you are looking for perfect anything, you are bound to find much disappointment.

I suggest that your inability to communicate with introverts has as much to do with your own communication style and abilities than with theirs.

Personally, I have the opposite problem. I can handle introverts; interacting with extroverts is where I screw it up, usually. I'm not terrible at it, by the standards of my people, but I'm not good at it. (I am terrible at it by the standards of a normal person.)

Obviously, the manager needs to be able to communicate with the programmers, so yeah, if you can't deal with introverts, you probably shouldn't be managing them. But recognize that you will be paying a lot more money, usually, for a lot less programming skill, if you go for a more extroverted and confident looking programmer.

>The moral of the story is that it's valuable to learn how to talk to people. And how to get dates.

Nobody is arguing with that. my social skills massively inflates my bill rate. Even very rough social skills and very rough confidence can dramatically increase your salary. If you can level up in that arena, it will benefit you greatly.

I'm just saying, on the manager side? with effort, you can get people who are dramatically better than me, technically speaking, for dramatically less than you'd pay for me, if you are willing to work around their communications and confidence issues. The pay and skill difference is sometimes quite dramatic, so just like most programmers can do well to learn how to deal with extroverts, most managers would do well to learn how to deal with introverts.
Actually that's the opposite of logic. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This project makes me want to have an excuse to learn go!
I know, I know I'm late on the TechZing bandwaggon. Many of you nice folks here on HN have said good things about it before. But this was the first time I heard them, and they did a great job. Maybe they're always this good :D

Also, props to Amy Hoy, who was honest about the tough stuff, and fun stuff (giving up the numbers, etc).

Props all around.
And I see the opposite. Anyone could have had this idea, but very few could execute on it. In fact all that will determine whether this is a big success or not is whether the thing really works or not (execution).
I saw you promoting this before and to be frank I looked at it and didn't understand what it would be good for. I thought, "Oh, ok so it's like a cron task that's easier to manage but you pay for" and then filed it away deep in my brain under "Maybe someday I'll need that"

Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't see how it is even remotely similar to what these monitoring services provide. Can you explain that better?
These guys are going to have some hard decisions to make in the next few months. This has such incredible potential I'd be really sad to see it get bought and languish as a side-feature at Google. Run as a business, rather than a free technology project liable to be side-lined on whatever whim, and really developed for the next 5 years, think about what it could be! I mean, just look at what it is today on day one!

The offers will come, that much is certain; I can only hope they decide to go for it and turn this into something great.
Totally awesome, but there's a big problem. Most of the time when you're in need of translation of text you find like signs, it's because you're in another country. That means data is very expensive, because your fancy iphone is locked and roaming.

It's awesome, many people may download it, but it will get very little use. :-\ They should probably charge like $5 or $10 for it, make money on people WANTING to use it, not on them actually using it.

Unless i'm mistaken and it's doing the image processing all locally, in that case, they've got a smash hit.
it's fairly likely that the laws would depend on the country the winner resides in ... which would be a pain in the ass to mitigate if you plan on doing it automatically or more than once.

I had stopped using del.icio.us a year or two ago. That may have been the only Yahoo! service I had ever used.
Glad to see this finally out there in the wild and to have demoed it a while back at my house. Grats!
That's why "it's better to ask forgiveness than permission" is so key working in that environment.

While you cannot do massive things and get away with it, you can get in a long of small fixes and improvements (which can add up) and just apologize if anyone notices.

If you had to ask permission for every tiny change it may take weeks and the ultimate decision would contain the kitchen sink anyway. Instead just do what has to be done and try not to get caught.
I'd actually never read that series, although I had seen links to it a couple time. Just read through it and a few things should be pointed out:

1. The author has had second thoughts about his original conclusions:
http://prog21.dadgum.com/37.html

2. The author is constrained by the Erlang feature set. The author rejects out of hand the idea of using "structs", but Clojure's maps and records are easy to use, share data and would perform admirably.

3. The author is constrained by his retrogame and microsystem domain. No modern gaming platform has issues with game state using too much memory or generating too much garbage (exception: complex physics). In fact, data duplication is now a common game performance technique. But if your tastes run toward ultralean programming, this is a distasteful state of affairs.

4. Much of modern game development has moved to an increasingly functional dataflow model already because of the necessities of multiprocessing and network gaming. It's rarely elegant and never done in a functional language, but it's the current reality.

5. Games are one of the places where a sophisticated view of time, as Rich Hickey advocates in his fantastic JVM Languages Summit keynote, offers a lot of value. It's a problem that thoughtful programmers and designers in the game industry have often considered, but have been unable to innovate much in the current technological regime. I just rewatched the talk last week, in fact, and highly recommend it for game programmers who read Hacker News:

Very good, only thing is a lot of the things I was expecting to be clickable are not. For e.g the icons in the menu, or the big pictures on the homepage which look like buttons and make the user want to click it :-)

Good job otherwise!

I don't know much about philosophy. Negative utilitarianism (minimizing harm) seems to fit me fairly well, but I would call myself a philantropic antinatalist.
They used to have an applet by Augrima. I bought the same one. It works well and doesn't use flash.
I've never seen a hitchhiker while driving, but maybe that's because I live in the middle of Pittsburgh.
Hard to evaluate, though, as they don't publish any pricing. Not that I could find. Suspicious minds might conclude: What have you got to hide? Also, it's disingenuous to claim rates lower than the competition without publishing them.
And the "LinkedIn website" link was not like that?

If I was a phisher, I would have sent such things to all leaked emails...

Something that constantly annoys me at work is not being able to debug dynamically loaded Javascript code (i.e. JS code returned by an ajax query, then evaluated with eval()). I know this probably reflects bad design, but unfortunately it's not up to me.

I think it would be nice to have debugging support for JS code in those cases when it's evaluated from a string instead of loaded using a <script> tag.
What exactly do you mean with "move on"? The article dates back to 2002. It's more an historical artifact than the current state of discussion.
I wonder if he's lonely, with not too many people in the world who can communicate, operate, execute at his level...
Central heaters may be natural gas/oil based but the blowing fans or water circulation are typically electric. Also people will supplement with electric space heaters for whatever room they are in while keeping the house somewhat colder than they would prefer.
Netbeans, sorry. Clearly, I have not worked with this tools in ages, either. Basicall netbeans allows you to draw GUI-apps, and the IDE will insert a bunch of boilerprlate java-code that will create those GUI interfaces -- similar to Delphi.
I am curious to try it (android user so I have to wait) but I worry that it will have a steep curve into mass market banality. The idea of hearing / participating in an unscripted chat with a small close knit group sounds cool. But as soon as lots of people are paying attention, things will get scripted, content will get anodyne enough to avoid offending anyone and so will be uninteresting, etc. It will be interesting to see if they can find a way to scale while remaining authentic and providing something not available on every other kind of media.
Kudos to you for making things work when it was all brand new to you. You demonstrated a lot of creativity and ingenuity!
Not really. We wrote a content-addressable-storage backup solution in rust[0], and one consumer is QEMU for doing backups of VMs, so we expose C bindings of our rust code[1] and use them in QEMU[2], effectively having rust async stuff handled by QEMU co-routine library. It wasn't exactly complicate or the like, required a bit of "plumbing code" but that's OK.

Allowing to get (relatively) easy C bindings is a goal and feature of rust, at least the project itself provides and maintains the rust-bindgen crate[3][4].

Having a bit bigger and slightly complex project like a backup server done in rust is such a relief compared to C or similar languages. Good speed, fast start up times like C but refactoring is really a breeze lots of safety is guaranteed and more time can be spent on fixing the semantic bugs.

Unfortunately no, the contract covers mostly financial, technical and legal sides of our collaboration. This is the first case in our practice.
I'm not really sure to be honest. Job boards and such things are not blocked. I've never this category before. It's not blocked; it's just flagged.

Having done some redesigns of HN to see my own reaction towards the concealment of scores and other elements I have to come out in full support of concealing comment scores. After playing with a layout that concealed the scores for comments and stories I'm also a big fan of ditching score display for stories.

My experience was what I think common sense dictates. Since I couldn't see a score I couldn't let that color my opinion of a given comment and had to read it. This point alone has significantly increased my engagement in the threads I care to read and made me more carefully consider the top level comments on a story. Since pg turned off comment scores I've wondered if the primary reason people have reacted negatively is due to losing a positive status indicator. This is to say the score might have nothing to do with one's own engagement with HN, but with one's concern for other user's perception of their comments.

One other change I experimented with was moving the score of stories and comments to the far right top of the story/comment so that it wasn't the first thing in my line of sight. This helped with my bias as well.

At the end of the day this all anecdotal, and your mileage may vary.
Are you aware what an awful history lies behind the idea of "merely a leveling off at a higher level"?

As far as I know, this sometimes occurs and sometimes does not.

Automobile consumption seems to have increased and remained stable and is only likely to change in response to changes in fundamentals (e.g., oil prices increasing).

In contrast, housing increased for speculative reasons, and the bubble burst with no changes in fundamentals (i.e., it was not precipitated by a drop in population).

I postulated a game theoretic reason why our current high-education state might be locally stable (i.e., changing only in response to fundamentals) rather than merely a bubble. Do you have any arguments against this besides "other people made similar claims, and I can find a few cases when they were wrong"?
You are being downvoted because your comment adds nothing to the conversation.
Haha yea, the 'idea' was kind of a mix between totally crazy and realizable. Mostly just fun to speculate about (and bemusedly wonder if Amazon might be investigating)
You don't think there's a difference between what you see with your naked eye, and what is visualised for you by sensors and software?
you said, quote:
"The first communist international was mainly about antiimmigration."

now the citation you give is they _amongst other things_ wanted to prevent the import of foreign workers to break strikes.

Apart from "amongst other things" does not make it "the main thing", it also was very much not anti-immigration. The international workingmen association formation was about forming an international organisation to prevent "capitalists" from playing the workers in different countries against each other. In other words they realised that unless workers organise internationally, they would always be on the back foot.
GNU CLISP had GNU Lightning added as an option for compiling its VM bytecode in 2008. IMO a bad decision - more maintenance burden; code can now have subtle different bugs whether run in the CLISP interpreter, CLISP bytecode VM, or CLISP bytecode compiled with GNU Lightning; generated code is much larger than bytecode (small memory use was the one unique thing CLISP has over other Common Lisp implementations); performance is still low compared to other Common Lisp compilers.

Today libgccjit seems like a much better alternative for this kind of application than GNU Lightning.
That’s a SEM which is significantly lower resolution, but lets you zoom in and out across a huge range.

STM on the other hand is for looking at individual atoms so coating a surface is just going to show that coating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope
Probably not. See the case and death graphs by country.[1] Right now, the UK has lower death rates than Israel. Israel's line is roughly flat, not heading all the way down to 0.

Real herd immunity will result in a case rate that declines to 0.

> The statement is similar to claims made by Engelhart to the Daily Dot that Spone allegedly used legitimate video as a basis for the deepfake. Police did not know whether the alleged victim’s face was added to a video of another young female vaping or if a vaping pen and smoke was digitally added to a legitimate video of the alleged victim.

> Weintraub also stated during the press conference that investigators determined that the vaping video had been manipulated after analyzing its “metadata,” a term which refers to embedded information in digital media that can reveal how and when it was last edited.

> But after contacting Reiss, the officer who investigated Spone, the Daily Dot learned that police never actually obtained the original vaping video. Instead, like what was seen on NBC News, police only had access to a cellphone recording taken by Spone of the vaping video being played on a separate device. Any metadata analysis would therefore fail to include information on the source video.

It appears the police are calling the video of the vaping a deepfake
Have no clue from hardware, but why we cannot take a full memory snapshot to the hard disk and then just load it back bit to bit ?
>I doubt we will have accurate, mind-reading consumer devices in the near future

So what? Stop trying? Give up? What's the point of this statement? Why is the timeline you personally find realistic relevant to anyone else but you?

I just don't get this attitude. It's such a sour grapes type of attitude. Either help out, or get out.
