The only alternative I see is getting the lecture notes from your professor. I had one (math) lecturer who used to make his notes on the fly with his convertible Thinkpad (x230t or similar) and shared those notes with us afterward. In addition, he also had a clean script. That combination was awesome as you could focus on what he was explaining (or take additional notes if necessary).
I tried router5 in our team and found that while it is more powerful,

1. Having to write middleware for many things is quite hard for junior devs, as it requires deep understanding of how router works. (We have middleware for dependency injection, MobX per-page store, data fetching, auth check)

2. Due to the tree-based router design, some routes are impossible. See https://github.com/troch/route-node/issues/17 https://github.com/troch/route-node/issues/18

I still haven't found router of my choice yet. Maybe router5 without route-note could work for me, but I still wouldn't recommend it to any team.
I found I couldn’t take notes fast enough. But if learning online, pausing the video and taking notes is very effective for me.
I still stand by my claim. It was blown way out of proportion. I think there are plenty of companies that did far worse that we don't hold equally accountable for. I hope she gets a second run after this mess.
Yeah and I am asking explicitly because it seems unbelievable and I'd like to hear why.
埃航空难8天后，波音CEO终于面向大众，在公开信上做出重要承诺
在3月10日埃塞俄比亚航空公司一架波音737 MAX 8型客机从机场起飞，起飞6分钟后发生了坠毁，引发了人们对埃航空难的高度关注，同时联想到去年10月份印尼狮航也发生了一起空难。于是在两次空难之后人们将目光对准了波音公司，可是在埃航失事之后波音公司一直处于沉默状态。
在上周日即3月17日，波音公司CEO Dennis Muilenburg在波音公司的官方网站上发表了声明，表示当前调查人员还在没有对空难确定最终的定论，在这期间波音公司正在对之前承诺的软件进行更新，同时还对飞行员培训进行修订。这也是波音公司在沉默的8天后首都发声。在继周日的官网发表声明之后，在第二天即3月18日的晚上，波音公司CEO Dennis Muilenburg发表了一封公开信，还在波音公司芝加哥总部录制了一段视频，将这段视频放在了波音公司的官方网站上，终于面向大众。
在公开信的的头两段中，表达了对埃航和印尼狮航中遇难者及家属表达了同情，同时也向公众对波音的质疑表示理解。接下来是关于埃航失事飞机的调查，表示波音公司会对埃航提供专业的技术支持，同时埃航事故调查中的细节用什么样的方式公布和什么时候公布完全由埃航决定。在公开信上还做出重要承诺，并称这是“永久承诺，让安全的飞机更加安全”，同时介绍了接下来波音公司会对软件完成更新并发布，对飞737 MAX 8机型的飞行员进行针对性的培训。还提到配合埃航、印尼狮航、FAA等相关部门处理好这两起空难事故的相关事宜。在全文中多次提到“安全”，统计下来一共提到了11次。

I use VR a few times a week. Definitely far less than total time spent on gaming. However, I would still say we "are there" with VR, because I do not consider it to be simply a replacement for gaming.

For me VR is mainly a replacement of other forms of physical activity. And just like I wouldn't spend hours every day exercising, same way I wouldn't spend hours in VR. I simply do not like the idea of going to a gym to pointlessly swing arms or legs; VR gives me a goal, a reason to swing those arms and legs.

Of course, to some degree I also use VR for leisure, playing games which do not require a lot of physical movement (e.g. Euro Truck Simulator or Elite: Dangerous). In terms of time, I may actually be spending more time on this category of VR, than the first one - probably exactly because they do not require physical exertion. But still I'd consider the first group much more important.

As for shortcomings, fortunately I'm quite resistant to motion sickness, so that's not a problem for me; also limited FOV never bothered me. I'd say the main problem for me is relatively low resolution - which is especially prominent in games where you need to look at objects far away (Euro Truck Simulator), or need to read text (Talos Principle).
Don't count the servers. Count the people. Only people who work in tertiary industries tend to have corporate email accounts, and they rarely contain personal data, only data owned by their employers. Many businesses have switched to FAANG services, though, because having an IT department is costly for businesses, and has largely gone out of fashion.
i have been making this argument for a long time now, everyone seems to have a different app these days and no one seems to be able to explain why, for a long time ive used hangouts which seemed the sensible choice, its pre-installed on almost all android pones and most anyone with an android phone has a google account automatically giving you an IM service that isnt tied to a mobile number you may change at any time

yet for some reason people suddenly started telling me i needed to switch to whatsapp "its much better" only it really isnt, in fact it does pretty much the same thing only its tied to your phone number which in many peoples cases can regularly change and since then any number of other apps that all do the same thing

but i think i may just be getting old, people sing the praises of discord like its something new and amazing but to me it looks to do almost exactly what IRC has been doing for decades

but that sees to be the direction were moving in now, lots of apps to do the same thing, until recently if i wanted to play a PC game i opened up steam and played, but now things are changing and you have to have 3 or 4 store apps (increasingly the utterly abysmal Epic store)
Europe has stricter regulations. When I worked in a company 8 years ago that were sending sms to customers with text like - your order is ready, please come pick up, etc. And we used company name instead of number as sms allowed that, only 8 letters but was enough for us, but around that time we suddenly weren't able to do that anymore and company we used to send sms through said that some laws were passed and we must use one of the numbers registered to us and that's it.

I think that explains why it is much harder to do robocalls in some parts of europe at least.
There is no reason to estimate the required precision as 3 times the original precision, because floating-point addition does not work like that.

If you want to compute the exact result of a floating-point addition, you need approximately emax - emin bits of precision. Floating-point addition is never computed this way.

On the other hand, multiplication does have the property that the required precision for representing the result of multiplying numbers with precisions p and q is p+q.

Why?
Let me give you a clear example. Look at this:

I sort of get where you are coming from, and i miss all the geocitys weirdness, and the home build blogs (before everyone used wordpress with the same 5 themes).

But web is also a tool (and a necessary one for many jobs). And advertisers have abused web to such degree, that there had to be a push back.

As far as white listing vs black listing goes, white listing is always better option. Especially for things like this, because i know that i don't want ads/videos/sound from 99% of websites I visit.

I have a similar but simpler setup. The crucial difference in my setup is that instead of using full blown LaTeX, I use TeXMe -- https://github.com/susam/texme -- which supports Markdown and LaTeX.

So I write plain text files with Markdown + LaTeX, slap a single line of TeXMe JavaScript either at the top or bottom, and open the file with browser to see the rendered math.

Like the OP I use Vim too with some customization with :ino and :ab. Nothing beats the editing productivity and convenience of Vim!
They would, but that requires a fight against a party apparatus of 1+ million people, that controls the police, secret services and the army. And that in 1989 did what it did in Tiananmen and wouldn't be afraid to do it again, I'm pretty sure.

So success would be far from guaranteed.

If I'd be Chinese I'd probably do the same trade they did.

After prosperity, keeping the lid on as hard as it is now is much, much harder. And if changes don't come easily and naturally, I guess you can emigrate.
Or more bluntly: click bait wins. Now you don’t get away with taboola style headlines here, they have to be more sophisticated, but they need to grab interest.

Obviously a political and economic union will impose laws on its member states. Your country, holding 2% of the votes, being able to overrule the entire union wouldn't be very democratic either.

It sounds like you want to have the cake and eat it too. Get the benefits of the union but be able to refuse the laws it imposes. If the EU decides on a law, that the majority of the union agrees on but your country doesn't, then your country has the option to leave the union.

Your country might not agree with these laws, other countries might not agree with laws regarding the environment, or human rights, etc. But the union as a whole agrees on them and if you want to benefit from the union then you have to follow.

Elizabeth Holmes repeatedly lied to a wide variety of different people about the capabilities of her technology.

It's fine to have an ambitious plan that might not work out. It's fine to have a dream so crazy you have no idea how to achieve it. It's not fine to lie about what technology you have today or its capabilities. It's one thing to make forward-looking statements that are optimistic, and another thing to misrepresent where you are right now, or what you have already done, or to deliberately mislead people. Elizabeth Holmes has done this repeatedly.

Here are some examples of the lies that Holmes told, according to the SEC (1):

1) Holmes lied about how many blood tests her technology could perform. It could at best perform a dozen or so, but she lied and claimed it could perform hundreds.

2) Theranos gave fake demonstrations of its technology to major partners such as Walgreens. Holmes made it look like blood test demonstrations given to Walgreens were being performed on Theranos technology, when in fact third party commercial technology was being used.

3) Theranos gave investors fake demonstrations and fake information about its clinical trials. When investors visited Theranos, they frequently had their blood tested, and were given the impression these tests were run on Theranos machines. In fact, Theranos often ran these blood tests on third party commercial machines.

4) Holmes lied about military contracts. She told multiple investors as well as journalists that Theranos technology had been deployed by the Department of Defense on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and on medevac helicopters that transported casualties. Completely untrue.

5) Theranos made ridiculously unreasonable financial projections. In a year when Theranos had on the order of $100 thousand in revenue, she told investors that Theranos was on track to make $100 million in revenue.

It would be fine for her to say that she planned to do all of these things. It is not fine for her to lie to investors claiming that these things had already happened when they had not.

Lying is never OK, and lying like this is fraud. No sane investor would trust Holmes after what happened.

Ask HN: As a freelancer, what's the best app to track finances?
Hi everyone!

I've been working as a freelancer practically my whole life. Although I'm not a very finances-oriented person, I do like to keep track of my spending and income, do some basic forecasting, budgeting, to also plan my time and activities.

One thing I've noticed is that most apps are really not oriented for people who, like me, dont have very fixed/stable sources of income. One month I'm doing something, next month I have very little work, next month I may be working on 3 different projects, with different wages.

I miss a simple way to track this, and to somehow allow me to plan my future, minimizing working hours and maximizing life (4hr work week anyone? ;)) But so far I haven't been able to find a finance management app that responds to the needs of freelancers like me.

Being in IT and software dev, I'm begin to think I should probably scratch my own itch and develop something that really suits my needs. So I'd like to ask you two things

1 - Is there any app I'm not aware of, that you guys might use and that suits these needs?

2 - If you are somehow like me, would you give 5min of your time so that I could get more feedback from other freelancers about what would be useful for them, and other tips and strategies you might use for yourself for your own finances?

thanks so much!
I was wondering when reading the previous replies because I totally agree with you.

Freshly grated real Wasabi, in my opinion, is much more subtle and deep (and slightly sweeter) than the ersatz stuff that comes in tubes or as powder. My guess is that the benchmark for most people is the fake stuff and thus they find real wasabi strange and probably too mild.

What I also learned in high class sushi places is that you NEVER dunk the rice into a mixture of soja-sauce and wasabi (no matter if real or not). If you absolutely must you can use some soja on the fish only. Another nice aspect is that it's completely proper to eat sushi with your hands.
In fact, many products have language that’s tailor-made to copy/paste into requirements documents to either/both: easily describe in a generic way and confine to the extent possible the selection to this product.

Has there been any research on the health risks? I'm sure graphene dust isn't great to be breathing in and if we're thinking of using it to improve a good amount of products and materials I feel this should be studied before that cat is out of the back. I feel like this will be asbestos all over again except much, much worse.

We don't compute the exact sum, we just need enough precision to ignore the double rounding. The most pathological cases are therefore either:

- the product is just above the ULP of the addend, or

- the addend is just above half the ULP of the product.

I'm not sure about the latter (the possible bit patterns of the product are constrained) but the former clearly requires 3 times the original precision, and beyond that there is no possibility of double rounding. The same thing can be said for the latter.

Of course all these points are moot when it is known that rounding-to-odd can be used to avoid error recovery at all.

You're being obtuse. It's simply a case of a tragedy of the commons, the commons in this case being available real-estate. Paris is already one of the densest cities in the world, if you add more tourist lodgings you have to push somebody else out.

Besides you make it sound like enabling more tourism is unambiguously a good thing. It's true that it has positive side-effects (mostly on the economy) but it also leads to degradation, overcrowding and, as we were discussing, an explosion of the cost of life for the locals. I often hear tourists complaining that they don't get an "authentic" experience abroad, how could they when the place they visit have been deserted by the locals?
In my experience it is even worse than that. I interviewed several professional statisticians with regard to consultancy on a particular experiment. They all worried about different things (sources of error or misinterpretation), according to what in their career up to that point had been important.

It was clear to me that to do the job properly I would have to worry about every thing. And I couldn't trust any of the statisticians to do that well for me, as none of them were aware of all the things.

I suspect this is only done well in extremely narrow domains - maybe nuclear physics (e.g. CERN)? Where everyone present is extremely well educated about the statistics - not as a separate discipline, but as necessary background understanding to do non-statistical jobs too.
Realtime raytracing hooks into an existing multipass pipeline like this by replacing select traditional techniques. The easiest to replace are shadowmaps and AO. You can also make use of radiance (diffuse GI) and reflections with one or two bounces. Traditional techniques are currently faster and give better results for just about everything else. Also, you can only afford maybe 1-2 raytrace samples per pixel at the moment, even with RTX, so they make heavy use of AI denoising techniques.
