It works at a job too: you get more attention rushing in as the hero to fight fires on a system that's blowing up than you do building it so it just works and scales better in the first place.
Thank you, Microsoft.

Keep it contained in Windows! WPF apps are shoddy.
> guess the smart features don't add a huge amount to the purchase price

They reduce it, because having one do-it-all device increases units/SKU and decreases the contribution of fixed costs to the minimum unit cost needed to break even, and competition prevents charging excessive premiums across most commodity models.
I'm not sure why you'd be referring to me in the third person while replying to me, but if that's the case then yes, it's quite possible they've improved.

Cool, but I use Android.
This really is a great opportunity for an enterprising youngster or a foreigner to start a consulting company to bring rules into the driving system.

The way to approach this is:
1. Create a company, build a small DB of rules in UK (the closest road cousin to India), Australia and US. Maybe Hongkong to understand dense cities

2. Get estimates of costs required to stripe lanes, put traffic lights, green road signs

3. Make a list of 10 rich cities/municipalities. Approach their roadworks dept and propose a plan

4. Profit

Developing countries these days are willing to throw money at this. They just want someone to do it efficiently and at low cost.

To see how this worked before, look at Jakarta, Indonesia.
So you're asking all the OS vendors to get together and implement a universal UI toolkit? Good luck with that.
Ask HN: Service to access technical experts for interviews or problem solving?
From time to time I find that I need access to deep technical expertise within a field for a small amount of time (couple of hours to a day maximum).

This could for instance be:
- Code review of some critial parts of an application before it go live the first time.
- Guidance on architechture decision in a certain proogramming language in the early stage of an project
- Insights from someone that have worked in depth with a specific vendors system

Many of the questions can be answeard to some extent through articels/blogs/litterature as well as Reddit/Quora/etc. But often the possibility to ask detailed follow up questions and share material confidentially would be very valuable.

On the business side expert networks of this type exisits that are used during strategy and due dilligence projects (e.g GLG and Alphasight). But so far I have not seen any viable alternative for more technical questions.

Do anyone on else have this need as well? Have you found any good solution?

"unless both the attorney general and communications minister approve"? seriously? so this is actually a possibility... wow.
Hmm, wasn't it Half Life 2 (paid for) and only then their award-winning Portal (also paid for)? There were no or very few free to play abominations back then.

On Microsoft Surface in tablet mode I often want to pinch zoom. It works but it's limited to the discrete zoom levels that you see with Ctrl+ and Ctrl- so you don't get the smooth zoom you get on Chrome. I still prefer FF for a variety of other reasons so to me it's just a nitpick.
What is plan 3315?
Not very difficult. Just provide a not_null pointer attribute, just like const. Then require that all dereferenced pointers must have the not_null attribute. Problem solved.

(Other note: C++ has a not_null pointer-like type: it's references. Unfortunately, C++ references cannot be reseated, which makes wholesale replacement of pointers not feasible. Plus, the language doesn't actually forces you to check pointers before assigning to a reference.)
> It's terrible for anyone who wants to check a route for odd travel hours, or even do something as simple as decide when to set an alarm based on likely morning traffic.

Yup. It's a great example of what I complain about when I say that software is being dumbed down and loses its usefulness. As another recent thread[0] pointed out, the handling of street labels is ridiculously broken. It makes Google Maps useless as a map - i.e. as a tool I could use to look around the place and find my bearings, or plan a route in advance, or scout the traffic across many roads without putting in a destination.

I too am bothered by this more than by privacy issues, to be honest. The latter are maybe more important, but the former are causing me frustration daily.

Hey,

Author of the first link above. The Teensy3 crate was some of my first embedded work, I was working with SimonSapin (author of the 4th link) at RustFest to get something working. That library wraps some of the Teensyduino code using bindgen, which gives you the ability to write application code using Rust.

Overall, the Teensy 3.1/3.2 family wasn't great for developing Rust, as they don't have debugger (SWD, similar to JTAG) lines available, meaning you have to use the serial bootloader, and rely on a serial port for all debugging. I believe the newer version of the board expose SWD lines now, so it's not a problem.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Definitely check out the embedded WG[1], and the new Rust homepage[2]

Security Release Brief: Node.js November 2018 [video]
Versus the whole "we don't want telemetry on by default" argument which the response was "fuck off" then they shipped packages for Debian that the "disable the telemetry" environment variable didn't work on...
It's simple. 99.9% of the users play without paying a dime, and the game has to cater to the "whales" that spend thousands.

That's fine when you peddle digital hats, but if they want to open a store, they want paying customers in it don't they? Most actual games they'd want to sell need to be paid for upfront... and I don't see the average Fortnite (or any other free to play abomination) player doing that.

Yes, and I responded quite directly to that.

DuckDuckGo's control definitely wasn't adequate, but in return Google's examples ('football' and 'Paris') have unambiguous localization value that's not present for two different Americans searching "immigration".

Quite a lot of the variance was link reordering and result changes that didn't have any clear regional aspects, whether at the domain or story level. If localization is the active factor, it's still pretty interesting to know that where I live determines whether to show a Wikipedia link and how to order HuffPo against the Tribune.
Most employees are getting robbed by their employers, but those tend to be the ones who don't have expense accounts.

If you have a true expense account, you're likely on the robbing side, not the robbed.
> You're basically arguing that the concept of torrents isn't workable. It's been proven.

Everyone has incentives with torrents. You can interact with the content you distribute.

But if I'm torrenting a game - and haven't purchased it - and I'm unable to play the thing, I have no incentive to keep it on my computer and distribute it to others. It is literally a waste of my energy and bandwidth.

Up until 5-8 years ago, it was still standard business practices at most major accounting firms to take clients to strip clubs.

It's still SOP for many investment firms...

So, no, he's not trolling you. Since the article didn't provide details, it's very possible that the expense was submitted during the transition time when there was no firm policy banning taking clients to strip clubs.

So like, when you're talking about or to someone on a topic where you're not even sure about the basics like, "what kind of tape measure do they use?" I would urge you strongly to go into "information gathering" mode, rather than "correct perceived incorrectness" mode.

Why are our healthcare benefits so convoluted? Not being able to take the benefit with you away from an employer is a major negative that most people I'm guessing won't calculate in up front - at least it muddies the compensation question and comparisons to other employers.
White backgrounds have less glare with my monitors, and I'm not one to work without a lamp as I live off a legal pad. I haven't gotten eye strain in over a decade since I started using f.lux. I used to be really into night mode in high school, but that didn't really last as back then, extensions like this were clunky and screwed up websites (eg, not all black font would switch to white, or the implementation would just invert the colors on the page, including images).

There's an IT 'dungeon' at my workplace, and all of their screens are in a dark mode theme although the IT people there do not use any lights in that room besides the glow of their monitors, and maybe 10 feet of multicolored string lights in one of the corners so you aren't running into desks. They even have blackout curtains over the windows. The first time I walked into that room trying to find someone, I assumed it was empty, lights off, and everyone went home, but there were a dozen people in there working like that! I'd feel like I crawled out of a cave every time I left the room if I worked in that environment. Good lighting keeps me awake as well.
They'd fuck it up if it existed. They shipped Debian packages that the environment variable didn't work on.

Opt out telemetry is NOT an option. Opt in is. I've been fighting this position since they added it to .Net Core and will continue to do so.
He’s not telling us that price is irrelevant. He’s trying to make the point, mostly for mainstream media, that prices of cryptocurrencies and smart contract platforms aren't indicative of progress. Instead, we should be looking at the development and adoption that’s going on at an increasing rate throughout 2018/2019, not price.
I’ve worked for over a decade in industry machine learning, about half of that in quant finance. It is definitely much worse in finance than other fields.

Even medical records do not present the same degree of esoteric data formatting and mismatching. It’s not really even a matter of data cleaning. It’s that there is _no_ way to clean the data, and the only useful approach is to pay 10s of thousands of dollars to data vendors whose products have intractable errors, and then build huge data vslidation and imputation systems around it.

When it boils down to fiduciary duty to the client, and you have a contractual obligation regarding portfolio composition, then you can’t live with “good enough” data cleaning. Even one single asset with an incorrect identifier from your data vendor can cause you to e.g. invest in an Israeli company in a portfolio with a client obligation to invest in no Israeli companies (that is a real example I encountered before).
Good point. I think both can be happening simultaneously.
Sorry, didn’t realize I was replying to you (= OP).

I was referring to this scenario:

>The stock will have to tank for at least another 3-6 months before the prospect of a shareholder revolt will finally motivate the board of directors to put an adult in charge.

If this happens then there’s potential for the stock to bounce back. Of course me joining would have nothing to do with it, but it would be my best-case scenario.
This is unnerving. I don't really have an issue with people who commit fraud being caught in the act. It still bothers me that we're closing out the 2010s and most of what we've achieved as an industry is make it easier for employers to surveil their people.

The story of the 20th century included a moon landing and ubiquitous personal computers. The 21st century's story seems to be about advertisers, health insurers, and employers using technology to get every edge on the common people that they can get.
Neither Windows.Forms or WPF can easily be made portable, the code is really a thin layer on top of existing Windows services.

It's 2023. You develop on Windows, store your code on GitHub, and deploy to Azure with Docker.

You are able to develop and deploy your code only because Microsoft allow you to.

Samsung internet connected TVs monitor what's on your screen and send super low res snapshots up to their servers - just enough that they can automatically work out what you're watching. Your IP can then be cross-correlated with other web companies like google so they can keep a record against your full identity of everything you watch. So even their TVs aren't safe if you care about privacy.

With general fitness, sure.

With squatting form, though, that kind of low-volume but regular practice once the movement is established will do quite well at maintaining it.

That 2009 announcement makes several very specific promises which conflict with these results. It promised signed-out customization based on prior search history (which Google has confirmed Incognito doesn't use), with a notification and option to disable that customization.

This result finds substantial variance with no notification and no toggle, which extends almost unchanged into Incognito. I think Occam's Razor says this is about localization and device type than fingerprinting, but it's definitely not just the thing they announced in 2009.
Kops 1.11 is still in beta
Seconding the recommendation.

On my last project, I decided to do all remote server ops through Tramp, just to see how convenient it was. Turns out, very.

Besides launching a shell, one trick that you can do is piping Tramp invocation, including across different protocols - essentially creating tunnels. One special case I use frequently is for sudo operations.

C-x C-f, then /ssh:username@example.com|sudo:example.com:/etc/someconfig

Suddenly, you're editing as if you launched a session with sudo on the end machine.

Coupled with dired and M-x shell, it becomes a very convenient way of working.

(And in case Tramp causes you trouble, or you just need to close remote buffers and connections, remember about M-x tramp-cleanup-* set of commands.)

EDIT:

And lest I forget - GDB integration works over Tramp too.
> Expect potholes and unmarked speed breakers almost everywhere

The worst part is people can build speed breakers at their will with their own spec. I know a person died because an illegal speed breaker was built with much more than standard height and no marking. The condition is bad, the accident rates are much higher and not all accidents are reported.
It's one thing to draw some widgets. That's the "easy" problem (to borrow some AI jargon).

It's totally another thing to specify how these widgets read and write the model in which the business logic is encoded. If you want to animate transitions between valid model states, it all gets ten times as complicated. And then when you try to make it performant by eliminating redundant redraws, it becomes an even bigger mess.

There is no simple and obvious solution that tackles all of the above. The reactive UI model (not just Flutter, but all React-like frameworks) is an ongoing attempt to do a better job of all of it, with varying success. Existing UI toolkits, before the introduction of this model, were not designed for it. They were built on the assumption that the future would be a giant object graph caught in a tangle of callback methods. If you want to make a reactive UI populated by native widget objects, you have to figure out how to plumb all their mutable state back into the reactive model. That's an enormous investment of labor. Writing a new toolkit from the ground up is a huge amount of work in absolute terms, but in relative terms it's the easy way out.

That’s not correct.

Especially with low-tech products like clothing, you can easily buy fakes that have equivalent (or better) quality than originals at 1/5th of the US/EU price. You’re not paying expensive EU/US staff wages, company taxes, export costs, duties, design fees, branding and marketing costs. The base cost of a $120 pair of NIKE shoes is around $10 - it’s easy to find counterfeit Nike that cost $20 with great quality.
