Not sure what argument you're trying to make; can you clarify? This article is also partially about smartphones (dark mode, responsiveness, etc). Back when `em` was not a thing yet, text was measured in `px`, where 16px was considered to be the "default" size for readability purposes (and `em` sizes are a function of a base value in `px`).

Saying that pixels are unrelated to text isn't really accurate, since text obviously occupies space and pixels are a unit of space, and back in the day, expressing layout relationships in terms of pixels was fairly standard.

It would be in Cameo's interest to ban deepfakes preemptively (since devaluing actors, their primary content creators, would not be wise even moreso if they are unionized), and I'm honestly surprised they haven't already.
Most reporters are lazy or pressed for time or both and don't fact-check. This has been a problem for some time. Many articles are also generated by software or thrown together by minimum wage workers to generate clicks. This has also been a problem for some time.

As a consumer of news, you always have to keep that in the back of your mind when you read news.

Woah, I just looked at the Vim help page for 'timeoutlen' and the fact that it's in milliseconds is only mentioned below, under 'ttimeoutlen'. The Neovim help page specifies that it's in milliseconds.

I think that the Stack Overflow answer was just saying that the default depends on 'compatible'; not that the recommended solution is to go back to 'compatible'.
Why would they? It seems to defeat the purpose. You can sell the item in the real world without the NFT. The uniqueness of the item is implicit in its physical form. If you did sell the item again with an NFT, there's nothing really mandating that you actually turn the item over to the new owner. The NFT has no material connection to the item, so it doesn't even provide verifiable provenance.
Except it is outright illegal to sell drugs, explosives, or humans. Any ad selling those is almost certainly illegal. If humans for sale, post is illegal.

It is not illegal to sell land. A moderator would need to delve into Brazilian law and mapping to determine if that specific sale was illegal.
This comes up every time an article like this is posted on HN and the answer is basically no.
I think between vaccinations that are complete and people not being sure about it, the criteria are going to be pretty broad by the end of April.

For several customer projects I periodically create a new dev database from a production snapshot on AWS RDS. Then I run an anonymizer script over it to change names and email addresses and phone numbers and so on, so the dev data looks real but doesn’t refer to real people. For one big database the anonymizer script can also cull data, so I can set maximum 1,000 customer records (chosen at random) and remove all related rows. The result is small enough to dump for local development.

In actual use almost all of the devs I work with connect to a dev database in the cloud, rather than run locally.

I can’t count how many deployments I’ve seen delayed and broken because devs have different versions of tools on their laptop, or different environment settings, paths, libraries, etc. I discourage local development for that reason and push everyone to use a dev system (cloud server) that is a known good copy of production.
Where are you getting your information the the newest F-16 was built in 2005? F-16s are still in production. Whether it's the Block 60 or the Block 70/72, the F-16 is being equipped with AESA, can carry almost every Western weapon, and other than lacking stealth, is still quite competitive in the air.

I definitely raised my eyebrows at "access to AWS YC slack"

It's really nice to hear from high-prestige companies about their experience because it gives outsiders a sense of what prestige might fix. If you're a small startup looking for help using AWS, finding someone to introduce you might really help! Not so much with GCP.
The "manuscript" of a novel these days is probably a computer file. NFTs would allow you to trade the original manuscript as an item, even though the bits of that manuscript could be reproduced with 100% fidelity.

For me, that doesn't carry a lot of value, but, then again, aside from things like margin notes and what not, a paper manuscript that was merely a handwritten copy of what later became a published book wouldn't carry a lot of value either. Yet, if I owned it, there may be people who would want to look at it out of curiosity, or who wanted to know the story of how I came by it, etc.
My own tax dollars are being used to fund loads of projects I don't like. Tangential but odd point.

To call that lifestyle 'mediocrity' and insult the very people that you need to grow your business is beyond the pale.

FWIW, I think "mediocre" is relative and very personal. A stable job, a modest house, a 401(k) with some money in it, etc., would be mediocre for me, because that just isn't what I want. But I would never argue that it's mediocre in any universal or objective sense. Whether someone's life is mediocre or not is entirely relative to their ambitions, goals, and priorities.

So if you ever hear me describe that kind of life as mediocre, know that that only means it isn't the kind of life I aspire to.

In fact, I go home sometimes to visit my best friend... he works as an over the road truck driver, doesn't make a ton of money, has a modest home, etc., but has a great wife and three kids. I would never call his life mediocre, and I'm even jealous in certain regards at times. I'll even be the first to say that he has accomplished more than I have in a lot of ways, while I'm off chasing entrepreneurial dreams and big ambitions.

Silicon Valley startup porn is harmful to many people

No doubt. But for some of us, it's not just "I want to be rich". I mean, I joke about a lot of things (search for my old posts here mentioning the word 'Maserati' for example), but the real driver for me is the need to be free. I want to run my own company and have plenty of money, just for the degree of freedom that entails. I can't stand the idea of having a "boss" in the traditional sense, somebody who can come in and order me around and keep me under his thumb. I want "FU money" because I want the freedom to say "FU" and go do what I want to do. But that's just a reflection of my self-centered, radical individualist, libertarian nature.

IIRC 5.25 and 3.5 floppies had same amount of storage (in fact 3.5 a bit more). Combined with the fragility and size of 5.25 floppies (you couldn't just put it in your shirt pocket), they lost interest

It impacts the correctness of algorithms. For some algorithms it's the difference between using O(1) stack space and O(n) or more, where the latter would blow the stack and effectively crash the program.
Just wait. You are going to start adding modules and eventually you're going to have a whole ecosystem. Someone is going to complain about the bloat and then build the new simpler JS framework that's basically your version 1.0. I've seen this movie several times over the last 10 years.
It's surely too late to hop on that bandwagon now, or is it :P

A few years back I got heavily into password cracking. As part of it I sniffed a bunch of people's passwords in coffee shops, as well as other black hatty things that I'm not proud of (though I will say that I learned tremendously from them). While these pattern based passwords work nicely to deter automated systems from grabbing your password after a site compromises your password, they dont stand to the test of human eyes. I had several people's passwords who used similar tactics, it wasn't hard to figure out the pattern. My point here is this: don't rile yourself up about having bulletproof passwords. It's good that you do it, but don't mandate it if you're the head of a company. No password is bulletproof - if someone wants it hard enough, they will get it. Figuring out a pattern based password is only another breadcrumb to follow.

If I call my chair a "knife," that doesn't change the fact that I can sit in it. It is obvious to me - and, I assume, the judge who made the decision in this case - that the definition of the word "coin" in the law is not the same as the one you are using. That is, the law uses "coin" to mean a metallic object used as currency. Issued by the government or not is not part of the assumed definition. You can't sidestep the law by using a different definition of the word.

> there is no responsibility on them when things go wrong

Legal responsibility? Other than that, I've seen executives held responsible just as much as non-executives in my career, from firings to demotions to "transfers". It's not a magical suit of protection +3.

> I'd like to see in jail those who make decisions

Then no one would want to make decisions, other than psychopaths. No thanks. It's unrealistic to think everyone can know the consequences of every decision they make.

That would reduce the expected net present value of startups to investors, making it harder for them to get investment money in the first place and probably reducing the number of successful startups, acquired or otherwise. It's not obvious that this would be a net improvement.

Partly anecdotally and partly empirically: I have a Wattvision thingy on my meter, I use an electric kettle, and I cook lots of things sous vide (in water baths held between 130-160f for very long times). It appears to take drastically less energy to have a rice cooker keep 120 ounces of water at 150f for hours on end than it does to bring a kettle of water to a boil.

This makes sense to me. Watch the sous vide PID controller govern the rice cooker; it's only switched on for a fraction of a second every 10 seconds or so.

Water also has a high specific heat.

Similar feelings. The video doesn't go easy on the tech either. He is shaking that paper violently and I can't see any faults. The part where he has 2 bits of paper as well as when he stretches his shirt are mindblowing.
when you consider that just about every security system depends on proper behavior by trusted human beings, who are never 100% reliable

...and I think that's perfectly fine and IMHO required. I've long been a proponent of the philosophy that a little bit of insecurity is what keeps society in general from turning into complete dystopia; but unfortunately, paranoia and the search of "perfect security" is driving it in that direction.

In other words, striving for perfect security is treacherous precisely because humans are not 100% reliable. The same way you would probably not want "perfect" law enforcement by the government.

At least one Justice gets it. The original judge shouldn't have issued the second warrant.
First of all, what law was broken by remove the legally placed device? (The fact that it is different than a consumer device sounds be immaterial) second, isn't possession 9/10s the law? It is on his car, he should have a right to remove it. I would also be concerned with the police planning an active device on the car.
This will definitely set a dangerous precedent.
Cars are supposed to crumple when you crash them. This looks horribly dangerous.

There are attempts to make portable IRs, like PNaCL and WebAssembly, but it's difficult to make something both portable and super-performant at the same time. You'd probably need to have some kind of optional SIMD, and variant function support so that both the SIMD and scalar versions exist and are both hand-optimized. Then paper over some other issues like unaligned memory access and the amount of masking in shift counts.

That would be enough to get it good on all of x86/ARM/RISCs I think, but to go further and support Alpha or VLIW machines well you'd need to include a lot of metadata in the IR to provide aliasing info, a problem I don't think anyone has taken seriously.

Does it? Just because something is good or successful doesnt mean it was made well. Thats why we are seeing stories of crunch, failures of management compensated by extreme overwork.
RISC-V has its own ISA summary card, AIUI. Plot twist: there are no address modes (since it's a load-store architecture, all loads and stores are explicit) and no flags to keep track of (since compare-and-branch instructions are used instead of flags, to make higher-performance implementations easier).
I love it and will give it a go!

> If someone chooses to drop 1k to buy any app, one must assume they made some consideration before buying.

The first iPhone was released in 2007. In 2008 people had only just begun writing apps and publishing to the app store. It's probably fair to say that people were still finding their way around the app store and some people were just curious.

Kids have sometimes ended up dropping thousands of dollars on stupid in-app purchases in games. I'm pretty sure they spent zero time considering the consequences.

Your post was sneering at the idea of it being real, and I generally don't click on video links without a clear idea of what they are (because video is a low-information-0er-time, high-emotional-engagement medium, and experience has proven that it's almost never worth doing) and I'm even less likely to do so with the implied content from the rest of your post.
Yes- but because you’re doubting it, not because of the non-compete.

Most contracts in-general never come into play.

But you should pay attention to all of them. Don’t sign things you aren’t comfortable with, unless you know you must.

I'm rereading "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren right now. It's worth picking up if you're interested in getting more out of your reading.
Perhaps someone on HN knows the answer to a question I've had for years now. Why use sign language on platforms where text is accessible?

I've wondered this since I first saw a TV broadcast with a signer off to the side. Isn't that what closed captions are for? Surely it's faster to read text captions than the gestures of some low-res recording of a human stuck in a tiny box in the corner of the screen.

Video chat platforms like Zoom almost always have a text chat feature. Although at least for those I can see how it might be faster and more personable for many to sign than type.
> It's a huge upgrade from the past when there was absolutely no mobile optimization. :)

I preferred it then, especially when browsing from my mobile device! It used to be very easy to get the zoom I wanted just by tapping on my ipod touch. Now, it's both wasteful of space and cluttered with a bunch of things I don't want. It's become harder and harder to skim the feed.
As a side note - I LOVE when people continue to use this super basic HTML 1.1 web design. It's just superior in literally every way to the garbage we use today, with its overblown everything, just so the site can scale to every device imaginable under the sun. Guess what, this is perfectly readable on a phone, I have two fingers, I can zoom in and scroll about, no need to load 70MB of javascript just to adjust it for me thanks.
He has some interesting idea and is more than ready to share them with others, which is a respectable thing to do I agree. On the other hand, I find his models hilariously bad, e.g. :
