No, it's not. I mean, print fidelity is where it excels, but that's not all it does. PDF Reflow, for instance, is a designed-in feature.

Making sand by grinding down rocks is routine in the developed and semi-developed world. The trick was developing a method of rock crushing that mostly crushes rock against rock, rather than rock against steel. That's the vertical shaft impact crusher.
Wear is much less, the product quality is better, and power requirements are lower. Lots of videos of this available, if you like rock crusher videos.
Well, it worked for Nazi Germany. Loads of them ended up in South America after their Third Reich collapsed; which from their point of view was probably a doomsday scenario. Many of them had been hoarding their riches there for years before that and lived out their lives in luxury after the war. I think the key thing to look for though would be extradition laws. From that point of view, New Zealand looks a lot less attractive.

What? Several people expressed constructive critique. You extrapolate this way too much in this comment. I, for one, am part of "Go community" and am certainly not against the proposal. More than that, I love that people smarter than me are currently publicly discussing and exploring alternatives and disadvantages in a civil manner.

I've just recently acquired a $400 RoboRock s50. Comparing its features with the $900 Roomba, I can say it's worth it. The s50 tries to mop the floor albeit just with water. It is very good with carpets though. I ordered it from China and I was anxious if I would have to use translation software to understand the manual but thankfully the s50 has the voice commands, manual and the mobile app translated into English. The scheduled cleaning is really worth it.
Make sure to keep away cables and curtains that reach the floor. Once, the wind got the curtain around the cleaner and the sensor detected obstacles everywhere and stopped. The app notified me that I need to remove obstacles which I did promptly and continued to clean until it finished. I am not really sure what's stopping Roborock to make the maps permanent like the Roomba.
Looks like this doesn’t crawl one of the most important source for data: academic torrents. For example, I searched for

ilsvrc lmdb

This should have found imagenet data in lmdb format available somewhere but it returned no results.
well that's not a fair comparison. the iPhone is built to be capable of doing a lot more than a Roomba, thus the cost. Also, much of the specialized expensive equipment is required for the iPhone because of its form factor. For the Roomba, the only new pieces of data one would need is a feed of the current orientation relative to its starting point and rate of travel to mapping out a room's boundaries. The logic is more complex but not to a point where expensive hardware is required.
Note that LMDB uses mmap already, and has the same advantages you list. (no ser/deser, OS controls cache).

Both sitemaps and schema.org had strong influence from what google thought worked best. Other open efforts like microformats and RDF died a cold, lonely death.
> Do web designers still exist that only do HTML/CSS but no JS?

That is really beside the point. HTML and JS should not be coupled to the extent that adding or removing some whitespace from the HTML will cause the JS to fail. This kind of things turns a trivial improvement into a nightmare, so you end up not daring to change anything.
The Free Market is one of the greatest economic tools we've ever discovered

...and one we've rarely employed. Most markets are absolutely not free in the libertarian sense, and while often for near-sighted politics—such as tariffs for goods—also sometimes for the greater good. For example, antitrust legislation is market regulation as truly free markets tend to converge in a winner-takes-all fashion. And once there are only a handful of large corporations left they tend to start shunning down the market from entry-level companies to help cementing their own position, via make-do regulation of their own and/or lobbying for more robust government-appointed regulation.
For those who don't know, that system is still alive:

Nice to see Google trying this again!

It's one of those areas they have long attempts at involvement in - e.g. Google Public Data Explorer which never quite reached it's potential, and Freebase which although flawed was good and was shut down after Google acquired it.

I like that this is search based! The web is still the best place to publish data - in fact in my view normal Google search is still by far the best way to find datasets, even though it isn't directly designed for that.

There's a link from the about page of Google Dataset Search to this help for webmasters on how to mark up content for it - although it is a bit odd, mainly showing how to mark a dataset with a DOI (so good for academics certainly!):

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/nP...

Just metadata about data feels like a very niche thing to search to me - I'm still not convinced anyone will maintain the metadata well enough to help. Possibly will work in particular domains.

Does Dataset Search have some way to search column headings, types or content (of CSV, Excel, JSON etc)? I can imagine a load of operators that would make that really powerful for finding badly meta-marked up datasets deep in the web. Would seem like the obvious extra thing a dataset search would do.

Also previews please!!! Just nicely render the fist ten rows of common formats - CSV and Excel to begin with.

What part of Google is doing this?

The "Martinsburg Monster". It was a huge win for the IRS when they could crosscheck the employer's tax info filed for employees with the employee's filing with the IRS.
That article's author is very confused. "Full take" is in reference to other interception programs in war zones. The documents about MUSCULAR itself show that it filtered to particular data types sent to international regions and filtered that data to just the information on selected individuals. The same source previously also provided email metadata collection on everybody, but that program ended in 2011. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/27/nsa-data-minin...

Refer to the primary documents when you see articles like the one you posted with contradictory information like "full take" vs. "100,000 selectors" with a mere "millions of records every day."

OK. We need to back up here as there are some conclusions being rendered that don't quite hold up.

For music, there is more than one copyright. There is the copyright on the original composition. There is the copyright on the modification of the original composition (for example to use modern notation, etc). There is the copyright on the recording.

Sony has a copyright on some recordings of Bach music. They may also have a copyright on modifications of the original compositions, but I don't know if they do or not. They do not hold a copyright on the original composition, because that is in the public domain.

It is difficult to record classical music without infringing copyright because the modern printed scores are all modified. You can use the original scores, but they are actually very difficult to understand and are akin to a different language. In fact, as far as I can tell this is the reasoning behind allowing a copyright on the modern scores -- they are essentially translations (and translations of creative works are allowed new copyrights).

There are some scores that are both modern and in the public domain. Kimiko Ishizaka has been doing some good work on this front with her "Open Source Bach" series (and you can even get unmixed versions of her recordings under a CC license!!!). However, initiatives on this front are few and far between (consider throwing some money her way as she is worth supporting).

If you have a score for which you have a license to record (or which is in the public domain), then you can make a recording of it. It doesn't matter one bit if it sounds like a recording of a Sony recording. However, it is quite difficult to find such scores and often performers do not know enough about copyright law when they start doing their own performances for Youtube.
I understand the rationale behind all of this, but I would get pissed off if Google sent me an email that basically says "do what we tell you to do or we will take your website offline"
Take time to think about the way/pattern you will use to name identifiers across the whole project. Camel-cased? Lowercased with underscores? 2-4 words in each?

After that things will be easier and faster.
Glucose triggers insulin, fructose does not. Yet fructose probably contributes more to insuline resistance long term than glucose does.

The mechanism, as I understand it is that fructose essentially turns into fatty liver, which increases the insuline resistance, the increased IR in turn causes higher insulin levels from ingesting glucose at a later time causing higher median levels of insulin, also causing increased IR.

Point being, the damage done from fructose isn’t measurable from the effects of a single meal. And the insulin raise from glucose is probably not that bad given a healthy start state.
Input latency makes for a bad user experience. People just usually don't notice it when typing as it's so common. See https://danluu.com/term-latency/ for measurements of some terminal software and discussion of why latency is bad.

I'm not sure if Kitty is using GPU specifically to minimize latency, but it would be a good reason.
When in doubt, I've usually found it faster to just write the optimized version and never measure.
I will admit that I don't have a "desktop" as such, I have a laptop. Whenever I'm not worried about privacy (i.e. in the privacy of my own room with the AC, air filter, etc running, I run the built-in system speakers at about 10% volume. Otherwise, I have a $5 set of headphones I jack in everywhere and every time I'm worried. They're retrofitted with a layer each of electrical tape and black duck tape on the outside of the earpieces, and I've "tested" them by blasting sound at 100% through them, and I can't hear them from 36" away.

Another GPU-accelerated terminal emulator is alacritty[0].

Although it has a lot less features than kitty and really is only usable with tmux (or GNU screen, whatever), it is more or less perfect for people who want their terminal to do just one thing and that one thing pretty fast.

Disclaimer: Haven't tried kitty yet and using alacritty for a nearly a year now.

Something similar happened to me with Amazon a while back. Found some vulns, and they fixed them but never publicly acknowledged them - because they said "the cloud is always patched", so no need to tell anyone- which I thought was an odd response.
There are two types of copyright at work here:

1. The music (score)

2. The recording of a performance of the music

For old music nr.1 has expired. But nr.2 can still be copyrighted.

The question is: how does Facebook know the performance is under copyright by Sony?
I guess they don't..
Tried it out and it seems ok. It does seem quite responsive and wasn't too hard to customize. Doesn't have a lot of discoverability out of the box since there's no menus: I had to search through the config file to figure out that tabs exist and that to make one I need to enable the command. I would love a guide of some sort: perhaps a video showing some of the features and how they would fit into a workflow. I toyed around with tmux, but my current setup relies on panes in iterm. Since there's no option to transfer over, it'd be nice to see how to migrate. Looking forward to trying out the kittens later since I didn't mess with those at all.
Unless that strategy only ends up lowering you basal metabolic rate, while keeping your body set weight stable, just making it harder to loose weight.

Look into the follow up studies from biggest looser contestants. It does not look good.

And I think the success rate from you suggestion in the medical studies in general is somewhere around 2%, not encouraging.

VACCINE-CAUSING AUTISM: AN OPEN LETTER TO DUTCH POLITICIAN KLAAS DIJKHOFF
Hah oh man that reminds me of this hilarious story https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/08/15/po...
The challenge is that if you build something new, users will expect it to have all the features that those 30 year in development tools have. Take idk, a chat client - used to be enough to have a list with just a timestamp, username and the message itself. Make a chat client nowadays and people expect emojis, pasting all kinds of images, web site previews, bot / api integration options, two factor authentication and everything from the start. The barrier to create something new is just a lot higher nowadays. IMO anyway.

Just look at how often a new product - like this one - is compared to existing products on HN, and how many comments are about what features other products have that are dealbreakers.
That is not exactly correct. You don't need expensive sensors to synchronize maps with reality. The coarsest estimate of where walls are can be used to infer a position in a map; it will just not be very precise. But errors of cms should be ok.

And Roomba only moves in a plane as a result of its (slow) actuators, whereas an iPhone X tries to do hyper-accurate 6dof real time position, from a very quick external source (your hand), for augmented reality. Thus the sensor and computation cost premium. But that does not apply to the Roomba.
as if my wordpress / static pages is not a real website?
Rendering the vector fonts into cached bitmaps is complex. Rendering the final buffer by blitting those bitmaps isn't very.

Smooth scrolling is inherently bounded by the vsync rate of the display. As long as you can render the terminal's pixel buffer with new characters and send it to front for the next flip, all within some portion of the time you have between frames, it's as smooth as it can get. Missing a frame will cause stutter, and make it non-smooth. Given the fact that terminal doesn't necessarily need to render if there are no changes, using GPU seems like an overkill for regular use.
Open-access journal editors resign claiming pressure to publish mediocre papers
If you're insinuating that the 'scientists' group in that list is more truthy, I'd completely disagree due to the bias involved.

If you're going to pick one group in that list for realism in understanding, it's obvious you'd choose the army and not purely academic modern scholars who consistently struggle with solving the most basic perverse incentives such as unavailability of open access peer review, Pagerank-as-tenure-prerequisites, and pervasive social norms of qualifying career success as 'results' driven rather than clarifying the scope of human knowledge through the overwhelmingly important outcomes of 'failure.'

Sure, you're wouldn't trust a public figure who only has a short term length to contain a problematic national policy dogma informed by 'studies.' See the outcome of Lysenkoism in the Soviet era as an example of posturing dubious scientism as political party ideology.

And past historical characters aren't really sources of truth due to the distorting lens of the incumbent narrative writers who need to legitimize policy either through hacking the populace's susceptibility to voice merging rhetoric or indoctrination of a national origin myth that gives meaning to most citizens who are actively seeking authoritative external confirmation of a double-truth to ease the cognitive-dissonance everyone feels when reality doesn't match the cherry-picked politically-harmonious model.

But to trust the army, that's somewhat different. Similar to many imperial armies of antiquity, the US army's sole strength is logistical in nature and not tactical. We can't fight based on risky 'war genius' maneuvering and would completely flounder in a scenario of being overwhelmed in asymmetrical/low-tech/low-intensity/decentralized conflict scenarios, so we instead gain supremacy in being able to deploy massive amounts of resources to any location on Earth faster than anyone else and at a sustained rate.

If reality didn't match predictions of our models in forecasting things such as cost-effective mitigation of nutritional demands for soldiers / displaced populations / war engine back home, long-term regional and global climatic patterns and short-term weather conditions, estimates of extractable fuels and necessary technologies to overcome resource shortages, etc, then you probably have much more to worry about on a very small timescale than pondering over truth in general and especially whether sugar is 'good' or 'bad' for you.

Note that the army's view of certain scientific knowledge and distilled policies can be vastly different than what emerges from the mouths of the faces we see on TV be it consumer ads with white-coat actors or government ads with black-coat actors.
Ok, we've s/YouTube/Facebook/'d the title above. Thanks!
Ask HN: I have a solid idea for an app/site but unsure what to do with it
Actually its not so much that i dont know, there are a few things stopping me from taking it further. the idea came out of a problem i faced myself and ive found a lot of others facing a very similar issue, ive searched around and no one seems to offer anything like it either, i dont really see why it wouldnt work.

So why am i not doing it? there are several reasons:

1. Its in an industry im not experienced in, the concept is solid but i believe id need a reasonable amount of help to navigate the legal/paperwork parts

2. I am not a person who is comfortable working for myself, despite many times being told i should its not something i want, nor am i good at telling others what to do, simply put im not a leader by any means. id much rather just have a normal salaried job, i dont want the hassle or stress of running/owning a business

3. I have a worse than bad credit rating and zero cash so no funds to invest or get any assistance and very little chance of getting any

what bugs me is that i still kind of need a service like the one i have in my head but at the same time i dont want people calling me a fool for giving away another solid idea for nothing, it wouldnt be the first time ive done it.

so what do i do? once again just hand out the idea on a forum or some such place so someone else makes it and its there when i need it in future or just shut up and let it go quietly into the night?
Lovely I came here just for benchmarking of this kind, it's a shame that kitty isn't tested in the article though.
Theres no way you can build a terminal emulator without a PTY and still expect terminal UIs (eg stuff that uses ncursors) to work.

Moreover, the session state saving is not possible either since you need to save the internal state of running programs as well as their cached output (saving the output is really very easy but it's the least of your worries given the specifications you've described).

You might also find this problem is better solved with a $SHELL replacement rather than a terminal emulator.
Not a developer but I'll echo the sentiment above. I think especially in your career it is critically important to be surrounded by people you can learn from. This also implies (to me) that they are 'high performers' with something worth teaching and therefore likely to be promoted and/or do something interesting in the future and these are the type of people you want to be around for general career development and network as well.
I'm not sure such comments are appreciated on HN. All communities and groups in the world have crooks.
Based on how the show's been progressing, I'd be quite worried if/when we do get there :)
