Hello! Author here. I'm a fan of web components for widgets and embeddable third-party interfaces. I'm not as much a fan of them to wrap a site's primary content, for both accessibility and user styling reasons.

It's more databasey. Airtable is to Sheets the same way that MS Access is to Excel... for example, you can do many-to-many relationships between tables using junction tables.
One of the reasons I’m fond of the app is because I have many emails. I like how they are organized, so I do not get lost in my inbox.
Let me compare with my "list" over nearly 5 years working here:

1. `Extremely` is an overstatement but yes.

2. Yep.

3. Yep, very common. Big egos everywhere.

4. Not really, never experienced myself.

5. That's hit and miss.

6. Yep, super common.

Throw enormous tax burden on top of that (you don't really see your taxes working for you in this city).
My wife (oral surgeon) says the only real solution to sleep apnea is surgery. CPAP machines to her and bunk. I believe she moves the jaw forward to help open up the airway.

Whatever works I guess.

Ask HN: How to choose a specialty
Over the last few months, I’ve been keeping a list of all of the programming project ideas I’ve had. After a couple days of intense research (sometimes a little more) for each one, I’ve abandoned them in search of the next big idea. I say to myself that “this one is the one I’ll work on for the next year”, but I never do for more than a couple of weeks (after work, not all day).

I envy the people who have chosen big projects to work on and have made major strides in specific areas.

Do you have any suggestions for focusing my efforts on one particular topic?
Yes, that's how phone microphones for example work.

To remove static background noice would just need to get a silent sample and reverse out the polarity of the static noise from the audio signal. It can be done real-time or in post production.

To sum out random background sounds you would need an omnidirectional mic that picks up everything. Then you'd need a close range shotgun type mic from which you subtract all that noise mix picks out.
For a graduate that would be a huge salary in germany. Most engineers with 10years of experience won't receive that. Therefore having high expectations around those candidates seems right.

(That still does't mean I find the salary situation for engineers great in germany. Just that it seems to fit into the general scheme)
Check out "Time Management for System Administrators" by Thomas A. Limoncelli.

It is showing it's age technology wise, being published in 2005, but a lot of the fundamental principles still apply.
Ximian and then Xamarin implemented it with Mono.

Yes I am sure that it takes a lot of time, but anyone who is willing and able can do it there is no-one stopping anyone from doing it.

The spec is open, the source code for pretty much everything is now open and is sitting on github, it has been ported to MacOS, iOS and Linux and it runs on both x86 and ARM what more do you people want?
You would think so, but thermodynamics do not apply to these scientists. People on an isocaloric high fat diet will expend 10 % more calories without loosing weight (their claim). I'm smelling the beginning of a perpetual motion machine.
But isn't the point of sleep apnea that the lack of air does not wake you up?
Edited my original, it was probably that way on the one I mentioned too.

I am a little surprised to find that CPAP use is considered non-serious though. (Being halfway to a BiPAP? Holy moly.)
I've worked for 6 tech companies. Only in 2 did the owner know how to code. Only one was the owner an ex professional coder. They were all charismatic to some degree. Although the less charismatic were more pleasurable to work for, for whatever reason.
For example Google Fonts - there are several very good and popular open-source fonts that still (after years) waiting to get pulled into the service. You can just look at the tickets at https://github.com/google/fonts

This is quite suprising to me because i think google this way gets their snooping JS on lot of websites. It generates data for them. Sure they also have to host it... but then again this is just matter of accepting pull request.
Soviet Deep operation – WW2
The law of supply and demand assumes purely rational actors in every situation, it also assumes commodities are comparable/identical and are largely mobile and transferable.

This doesn't apply to things like healthcare as others have mentioned, but also education (people are told their whole lives that they need to go to a good college, so people often make the poor financial choice to attend the better school), and in many cases housing (not wanting or able to leave the community they have only known, so they are willing to rent burden themselves in order to live somewhere).

Add on the fact that many of these things aren't as standard and transferable and you notice why these are the major markets that experience serious distortions in both a free market and a highly regulated one.
Do you think that Munich has generally better culture in this industry? I don't even mean startups, just asking in general.
What other device hacking subcultures exist for medical devices?
This was my personal experience as well. I use a ResMed machine and I remember when I first got it that the instructions warned that only technicians could make setting adjustments. After a few nights of waking up feeling like I couldn't move air through my nose, I just looked up how to do it. It only consisted of holding down two buttons at the same time. Very straight forward.
I haven't tried accessing the internal data, but I've been content enough with the breakdown that they provide each night.

Further, this is probably their goal. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple bought something like this as system-wide background noise canceling would be a fantastic OS feature.
Well, I was saying 50% referring to my current pay in Denmark, not that of Germany. In Germany, I was offered lower than in Denmark, which would have been, like you said - 30 ish %.
FYI - Zoho CRM's rebuild (from about 2 years ago) is a super user-friendly version of SFDC at a fraction of the price. Has many of the functionalities you just mentioned.

Where did you move them? I moved a few to Signal, but most complain that their friends aren't on there and the quality isn't quite as good.

If prices go up enough, more people in San Francisco will decide to sell, same as anywhere else. That itself doesn't increase the actual number of houses in San Francisco, but it does increase the number available to buy in the market, exactly as supply and demand would predict.

Barring physical constraints and local laws, that would also likely spur more building to increase actual units. That isn't likely to happen to any large degree because there are physical constraints and laws, and that's probably what you were thinking of.

In my experience, the vast majority of people on the left (and on the right for that matter) don't know much about Soros besides "a rich guy that donates to democrats".
This. See my comment above about Zoho. I've used both, and it's the cheaper/easier to use version of SFDC.
Do they need more than US approval to launch satellites into international space?
Drug trade is a common practice yet it is illegal. My employers would not risk to be caught and punished for unpaid overtime or more than 10 hours / day work on average. It was explicitly told us that we cannot work more than 8 hours on average and everybody is pretty serious about that. Not sure what industry or what companies are you talking about and referring to it as common practice.
Yes, of course I can run my audio file through it by actually playing it and recording the result, but I'm asking if there's a version of this tool that takes an input file and writes to an output file on its own.

An easy way to find redundant edges in a DAG
that's true, there are other opportunities, but i don't think it's fair to make a blanket character assessment of these people just because of the organization they work for.

in a similar vein, i wouldn't condemn someone who works at Exxon building analytics software, or engineering some rig valve, but i WOULD condemn someone who works there with the responsibility of absolving oil & gas from any responsibility for climate change.

is my position wrong? honestly im a bit unsure if it makes any sense.
The effect is the same: keep your mouth shut. It's not worth going to prison and it's not worth getting shot.

I was just trying to point out how people don't really support freedom of speech when it comes to something that makes them angry - which is often the important stuff to be talking about.
Well..... for some definition of accurate.

For large antennas with thin structures, the typical solver is "Method of Moments". NEC2 was developed by the government and is public domain. It is quite popular, and does some things well but it is also easy to stumble into modeling bugs/deficiencies, and isn't much use above high UHF. But is very useful if you know how not to step in the bugs, and is free. NEC4 falls under ITAR, the last I heard. So it isn't particularly hard to get a license, but you have to clear ITAR.

Microwave structures are more often done with a finite-element model, as I understand it.

Both rely on numerical approximations to Maxwell's equations. At least for MoM, each element cheats the boundary conditions a bit in order to make the problem tractable. With a fine enough grid, you get a good enough answer.

Another friend that has started two antenna companies is an NEC4 guru. I asked him: "How can I tell if my model has a small enough grid?" Him: "Keep reducing the mesh until the answer stops changing. When it stops, you had enough elements in the previous try." Antenna modelling is a bit of an art, I'm not expert, just hack a few as a hobby.
I'm curious as to why you feel offline support is such a big deal?

Maybe my perspective is warped by living in a major US city, but I'm pretty much connected to the internet all the time. I'm pretty sure the only time I disconnect and have my computer on me is when I'm on a plane.

So much of my other work requires the access to the internet and the ability to communicate, I just don't see the need for offline mode. To put it another way, I can't see many situations where I could effectively do my job (outside of some minor tasks) without internet access, even if Airtable was available offline.

I do agree that it's a nice to have, but I just don't see it as a deal breaker.
They are very much not bunk.

They don't work for everyone.

For people (like me) that they work for, the benefit is large, and immediately obvious.
That would be deception against the court of law. Very bad if caught.

The big takeaway for me is that they consider Podman ready to use because it's honestly amazing. A fully featured container engine that doesn't need any elevated privileges or a central daemon -- using just Linux namespacing features. Once people realize the implications of having containers just being something you can run like any other program with zero fanfare I expect adoption to explode.

Composing views and dynamically linking sheets (tables) together through information. Again, it’s a full database with a spreadsheet view / control on top, not a spreadsheet that can act like a database.
It's free, open source software. I really don't think they're trying to sell you anything.
How's it working for you? The main issues I've seen are it's hard to estimate the costs and doesn't handle small files very well.

> You can't even semi-retire on a few hundred thousand dollars.

If you're mid career and had aggressively saved prior to acquiring 400k, you could totally take up some sort of minimum wage gig to pay for insurance while your nest egg goes or take a nonprofit job.

That's my definition of "semi retirement", maybe yours is different.

I operate a digital signage service (https://info-beamer.com). It's using a custom built Linux OS that is highly optimized to deal with file system corruption and unexpected reboots:

* The OS is is always read-only. While this doesn't prevent all possible corruption scenarios, it's pretty close and you can be quite sure the system always boots.

* System updates are implemented as A/B. So even during updates, the OS the system booted from isn't touched.

* All content data is on a third partition and together with the OS files is constantly checked for indications of corruption.

* If the OS detects any bit error on the OS files, it is reinstalled (using the A/B mechanism above)

* If there's a bit error on any of the content files, they are deleted and downloaded again

* If the content filesystem is broken beyond repair the system reformats everything and restores everything automatically by redownloading

* Various watchdogs and checks constantly monitor system health and notify you on the dashboard.

The service has multi-million hours of service by now and the only case of filesystem corruption was due to a really crappy SD card. When done properly, the Pi can be reliable. That's also the reason why there is no way to properly shut down the system. Just unplugging power shouldn't be an unexpected circumstance but something you optimize for. Starting with a normal Raspbian and expecting that to work is a bad idea.
Imagine working for Facebook

It's about the bigger picture.
So you got fooled. It is a free market, supply and demand. If you are outstanding you can earn more. If you are mediocre you can be more easily replaced. I would quit on the spot if any company would threat me like that. I would just tell them "Please do" and walk out from meeting, getting back to my computer to print out my resignation.
I had Hughes satellite service for a while. Bandwidth was good. Latency was terrible. For surfing the web and streaming content it was fine. For anything twitchy, like driving a computer desktop through terminal services or any kind of gaming, it was nigh unusable. Plus, there were fairly low data caps that limited how much streaming one could do.

The big difference with Hughes and SpaceX is that Hughes satellites are geostationary and SpaceX's will be low earth orbit, so SpaceX's transmission distances and times should be much better.

Hughes provided a decent option for very remote areas. SpaceX appears to be putting together a first class option for everyone.
None of the fixes have completely eliminated speculative execution, they have only eliminated speculative execution in a few specific cases. Wiping it out across the board would likely have a massive impact on performance.

Diabetes! The first marriage of a continuous glucose monitor to an insulin pump was by an open source community called Nightscout.
I don't know why you'd characterize that shooter as "the right". He really hated Trump. He was a socialist.

There are a lot of these cases, where a violent person is unjustly tagged as "the right".

When someone can't be crammed into that mold, they are dropped from the news. A prime example is the youtube office shooter, who was a female muslim immigrant. As soon as the demographics became clear, the news dropped the story like a hot potato.
Hi!

I'm not a fan of them for web apps that use excessive whitespace between repeating components[1]. Previously you could just edit the global stylesheet in dev tools but now that only changes the current component.

Edit: I get the widget / embedable use case but fear that it won't just be used for that.

> I can do everything right and still get compromised because some underpayed support contractor falls for some social engineering hack.

Security isn't binary, it's a spectrum and requires tradeoffs. 2FA isn't a silver bullet.
Generally yes, because the throat is less constricted when you're not overweight.
There were recently two simulations done on possible latencies based on the FCC filings. You can find the video simulations in the links at the bottom of this post.

You can see international links that have latencies lower than the existing internet by a significant margin.

Unfortunately neither of those simulations take into account that the first iteration has been changed to only use radio and no laser links.

He is very safe that way.
I would argue that programmers are still a very special group with a bias towards/a culture of short term gigs. Within my circles, those around 40 are either not programming anymore or work at "unsexy" companies with perks and benefits like "9 to 5" and paid 6 week vacation time. The cool ones still maintain a geek-comptible culture under the hood but that is not expressed in free beers and scheduled crunchtimes.
Traditional satellite internet uses satellites in geostationary orbits, or 35,786km high above the equator. This is great because satellites in that orbit are stationary relative to the ground, so you just need a parabolic antenna pointed at a specific point in the sky to get great reception. But it's also terrible for latency because the signal takes 120ms just to get up, and another 120ms to get down. Assuming you live on the equator, directly underneath the satellite. For someone living in the temperate regions, typical real rtts are in the 700ms area.

Starlink and OneWeb are different in that they intend to use a lot of satellites in low orbits to maintain constant coverage. This is technically much harder, not the least because you need thousands of satellites to get reasonably good coverage, but also because the ground station and the satellite transceiver both need to track each other. This was not technically feasible before, but modern AESA antennas can steer their signal without having to move the antenna, and can both transmit and receive multiple simultaneous beams and very rapidly move the beams around when doing time-sharing.

The minimum round-trip time to something very close to you and also close to it's own ground station will be on the order of 10ms. However, where the system really shines is long distance communication. The satellites will pass the signal between each other using lasers, and will get the signal to the other side of the earth much faster than terrestrial fiber, both because laser in vacuum travels substantially faster than one in fibre, and also because the fibres don't get to follow ideal great circle paths.

Independent researches have evaluated the likely latencies of the system, and the results are frankly shocking. For example, today on the existing fiber network, rtt between London and Singapore is ~160ms. On Starlink, the rtt will be ~90ms.
For those that are overweight yes, but not everyone that has sleep apnea is overweight (like me). The apneas are caused by different things in different people and I believe any surgical solution would likewise depend on the person.
I think the all or nothing discussion linked to the word monopoly is what causes most of the issue.

Abuse of dominant market position is the most accurate developed term of art to describe what these firms do. But the devil is in the details - the treatment, definition and remedies associated with the offense are fairly arcande, and seemingly innocuous terms can make or break the entire framework.

Here's the EU's brief blurb on the issue:

http://ec.europa.eu/competition/consumers/abuse_en.html
http://ec.europa.eu/competition/antitrust/overview_en.html

This is, however, just the basic 101 theory. The reality is a lot less rosy. In actuality, almost every level of the pro-competitive state regulatory framework is subverted, and that's by design. A state benefits from corporations that abuse their dominant market position and act anticompetitively if the harm suffered is less than the benefits. For instance, if the harm is primarily suffered in foreign markets, or by a different financial class, etc.
One way around this is to get a bed that has something like a zero gravity mode. Sleep a bit upright and your airway won't collapse in on itself.

I don't need CPAPS yet, but if a CPAP alone isn't working for you, you can try this combined with CPAP or just using the bed itself.
I'm affiliated with a number of projects that moved from github after the MS acquisition, and I'm aware of a few others. So at least some of us decided to act and not threaten.
Curious how this will pan out.

It's a shocking contrast to be in or near a city and have broadband speeds, and then be just a few dozen miles outside one and have... literally nothing.

I just loaned my Iridium phone to a friend who was going to the jungle, and although he was able to make the data connection work, even doing email at 2400 baud(!) proved useless. Inmarsat is faster, but vastly more expensive.

Outside of those two, there is no global solution.
Management is an expense just on the books. They create most of the value of that business for themselves and shareholders, by themselves.
Given the CPU architectures we are currently using yes. There are other architectures not affected by it like Mill.
It's contributed to the open source ARM desktop/server community quite a bit. While ARM has had first class support in for embedded and mobile for a long time people weren't really running X11, Gnome, database servers, etc. As a result the experience was rough around the edges.

Now it's easy for any open source developer to pick up a working ARM machine for $35 for testing. qemu is an option but running on actual hardware is more rewarding. I've personally worked on open source code that would not have ARM support if something like the Raspberry Pi didn't exist.

ARM desktops and servers have become more common recently but I think Raspberry Pi's laid some of the groundwork for that.
