Yes, with film there is the Schwarzschild-effect which causes the sensitivity and the color reaction vary with the exposure time.

While digital camera sensors usually pick up noise for long-time exposures, this is less an issue for astronomical cameras, because they fight this noise by cooling the CCD-chip. Usually the chip is cooled via a Peltier-element to temperatures below -20C, where thermal noise is very low.
Ask HN: USB smart card reader for low temperatures?
I'm in a dilemma right now. I'm working on a project that needs a smartcard solution implemented just shortly before SOP.

Problem: The temperature range must allow operation from -30°C to +65°C.

I can't find any device that fits this requirement. Has anyone an idea on how to solve this?

Unfortunately TPMs are not a solution because of the short time frame.
They compensate their journalists based on how much the articles move the market, so that may explain things.
I'm using Firefox since version circa 1.5 and I think some of your arguments regarding "very important features Google introduced." are slightly off:

> Draggable, swappable tabs

I cannot recall Firefox lacked such feature. You can even swap tabs without mouse (ctrl+shift+pgUp/Down) what is not possible in Chrome AFAIK. And you have slightly greater control over order and appearance of tabs in Firefox.

> [..] that can be pulled out into separate windows,

Pulling tabs from / to Chrome windows is FMPoW UX disaster against proven patterns, at least in Windows platform [1]

> [..] address bars with integrated search engines,

AFaIR Mozilla experimented with "Awesomebar" way before Google Chrome Omnibar appeared. Things like accelerator searches and keyword bookmarks were there since its dawn. It was just "ease of use and lack of control" that Chrome introduced. [2]

> [..] built in PDF viewer[s].

Frankly, I don't have data who had integrated plugin-less PDF viewer first. Yes, it might have been considerable advantage.

[1] usually you can dragNdrop anything between any two windows using the "delayed hover on taskbar" mechanism: e.g. with Firefox you
1) drag the item (tab) from the source window (dragging cursor / icon appears),
2) hover on taskbar item of target window (window appears), and
3) drop the tab among other tabs in target window.

In Chrome you must
1) choose (focus) the target window first,
2) switch to source window,
3) drag the tab (source window disappears completely, revealing target window under some weird temporal tab/window that sticks to target or could be dropped to create own new window) and
4) drop tab among other tabs in the target window.

[2] as expressed in other comments, some users preferes adress bar to primarily consume just URLS and for search use isolated input. Vanilla Firefox Quantum can be set like this today, and you can have your search bar hidden in overflow menu but still one keyboard shortcut away.
Hi infinitone,

Putting my phone away is the first thing I would do if someone were trying to look at my screen while I reviewed a confidential document.

Greypad is designed for situations where you might not be aware that other people are looking at your screen at all, i.e.: someone standing behind you in a line, sitting behind you on a train, etc.

For us, it's a few simple rules.

* Some TV only in the weekend (Tintin, Smurfs) and with daddy or mummy. It's a bit like Sunday cuddle time. One episode max. (about 30 minutes).
* She is not allowed to grab the phone and 'scroll' herself. She can see photos about her that we send or receive. That's maybe 5 times a day.
* She is allowed to grab the phone to use it as a phone (speak to family members).

The hardest, and what I am bad at, is to grab the phone myself when with her. For example scrolling Twitter while I feed her. I have to get better at that.

Occasionally, she might get a few hours of Tintin where we travel by car to France. The following days, seeing her constantly nagging for more TV reminds us how addictive that is, and how careful we have to be.
The switch to git was widely publicized at that time. As far as I know, the Windows team is the only large scale team using git. Facebook is using Mercurial, Gogle is using some concoctions around Perforce, I think, and is working on a Mercurial transition. And all of these attempts for trying to make DVCS work at scale are straining their respective systems to their breaking points.

Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and the like do filter what is recommended to a person though; that is a form of editorial control, even if it‘s mostly just algorithms behind the scenes.

If they were neutral platforms just showing you what you‘ve specifically searched or followed then that would make them more of a common carrier. But the recommendations are an issue.

Quite a lot of Romans endorsed slavery and gladiators. As Lenin said - first look who benefits!
I guess the difference might be that Google and FB want to become publishers while pretending to remain neutral platforms just to continue to remain under this law.

Only Yorkshire, North East and North West have been "left behind" (and that's only when compared to the rest of the UK, not the rest of Europe). The rest of the regions (SW, SE, E, both Midlands) have seen increases in wealth of about 30% in the last 20 years.

I'll have a shorter answer than most.

Don't focus on diets. Find a lifestyle that suits you. If anything, sports if what will help you most feel healthy. Find something that you can keep doing with your condition.

Whether it is keto, fasting or anything else, you want to find something that fits you and does not frustrate you or you'll end up worse.

Exactly that is why there are laws (in China I guess not). I can't work more than 200h overtime in a year or 48h in 4weeks (meaning that after four 52h weeks I can't do anymore overtime), regardless of whether I'm paid for it or not. So after two 996 weeks my manager would be in criminal territory if I don't get two very short weeks afterwards. In my experience, this seems to actually work too. Crunch time is replaced by slipping or hiring, as it should.

These laws don't require that anyone forced anyone to do it - the manager is literally responsible to make sure people don't work too much. Obviously this will happen occasionally anyway, but now it is at least llegal.

>Can you explain how you, as a human being, understand handwriting?

We explain how to understand handwriting to every single child that goes to school. It's not the answer you want, but it's the answer that actually matters here.

Trying to equivocate AI and human cognition in this way is completely disingenuous.

Human reasoning is not 100% reliable, but we know very well in which ways it's unreliable and how to deal with it. We have shared biology and millennia of experience trying to empathize and communicate with others.

Although icons can be monochrome, they tend to apply colors to indicate their function (red = bad/remove/stop, green = good/add, blue = optional/new). One-word labels do not have this problem. As a colour-blind person, I take one-word labels over finicky icons any time.
If you own Google docs, ensuring it doesn’t break or show an incompatible banner on competing browsers is not an abstract or metric-less concept, it is very tangible and measurable.

Ok, so a manifold is simply a hypersurface. At least I‘m pretty sure in machine learning it means exactly that.
Unfortunately it’s the law. But I completely agree. I’d argue it’s inaccessible for everyone too.
That doesn’t really make any sense though. Maybe I’m not fully understanding what you’re saying here? Can you clarify how exactly you would turn a connected graph of data points into something that can learn arbitrary new knowledge and assimilate it into its understanding?

Because it seems like currently, this process is an entirely human driven manually done task wherein you have people making the decisions on how to connect and add new relations/knowledge to each other.
Because it is not about going to the bank and getting your credit card, and then linking it to the Wallet. I think it will feel different from the experience perspective. For them that is the only way to get traction.
> What speed and precision are you missing? It seems that org mode should have the capacity to establish any content connection scheme you could dream up.

That's what I thought too, but I haven't been able to accomplish it yet.

In InfoSelect I had a tree on the left that I could filter instantly and incrementally while I typed in the full-text search box (imagine org-sparse-tree + helm-org-rifle on steroids). In Evernote I have a double hierarchy of notebooks and tags (vaguely based on The Secret Weapon [1]) that allows me to create a new project tag where I pull together new action notes, meeting notes, and old notes from my 17-yo knowledge base. I'll have anything between 5 and 20 ongoing projects that I can toggle quickly on the left hand navigation bar. The notes are shown in a table where I can click on the header to sort by title, created date, or updated date, so I can find what I need within a few seconds.

I can also do a mixed full text/tag/date search adding filtering criteria as I go. In org, I have to decide beforehand what kind of search I want, and if it's a mixed search the syntax becomes very cumbersome.

With org, I can do none of the above on mobile.

In practice, this means that I have more trouble finding things in my 14 month-old org setup than I do in my 17 year-old knowledge base.

> All a gui like the brain is doing is putting animations and a mouse on top, we can definitely specify things via the keyboard in a number of ways to replace the mouse, and who wants animations to begin with?

I have zero problems with using the keyboard. I've been using vim and editors with vim keybindings since the 90s and my favorite laptop of all time doesn't even have a touchpad. There are cases however where specialized GUI affordances can be helpful. I would say that navigating a huge graph of nodes using mind-map-style partial views is probably one of them. I know there's a brave soul trying to pull this off in Org [2] and I sincerely wish them success.

> That is literally impossible; a breaking change from X-1 to X+1 must have been introduced in one of the intervals X-1 to X or X to X+1. It the latter, X+1 breaks compatibility, if the former, let X' = X-1 and X'+1 breaks compatibility.

No, that's not how it works. The deprecation is introduced in version X-1; the new behavior is introduced but is opt-in; in version X, the new behavior becomes opt-out; in version X+1 the old behavior is removed.
Basic letters and digits aren't too crazy if they have a sufficient environment for it - e.g. materials/attention from parents for learning.

At that age it's essentially all about their environment.
Even for smaller websites, I don’t think any web developper doesn’t test how the website renders on Firefox and Safari. Not doing so during the development process seems like a deliberate decision rather than an omission from engineers that do not know better.
Screw that.

I just wait for 10 minutes before I engage in that chat (wishing I could turn off notifications for individual people in Slack), let the person say "Hi spurgu", followed by "Hope you are doing well" (and whatever else they come up with), after which they finally type out what they actually wanted to say. When they're done going through this horribly inefficient, annoying and time-wasting procedure I just directly respond to their question, without any added social bs.

Possibly unfair to point the finger at RN here, but we found that the amount and complexity of code involved in developing using RN + JS + Redux was much higher than when just using Swift (< 50%). We've yet to repeat the experiment with Android/Kotlin, but I'm confident we'll get similar results.

This is a terrible paper and the authors didn't employ even the most basic scientific standards. They search over the shape of the network that works best on the FPGA to give them their target performance on the FPGA. But they don't search over the network that gives the best target performance on the GPU! Of course the FPGA wins.

We have known for years now that deep networks are extremely compressible when they're trained. You can drop the vast majority of the weights and still maintain almost all of the performance. Just like you can drop the accuracy from floats, to ints, to int8, and even to bool for the weights and you can still perform well.

This papers is a joke and it deserves to be rejected from anywhere it's submitted. They optimize the shape of the FPGA network but not the GPU network. They don't apply the standard methods to prune weights in networks and they don't compare to those methods. They also pick one GPU network at random, lots of object detectors are faster than Yolo. People have explored the speed-performance tradeoff closely.

About FPGAs in general: there are great reasons why FPGAs have been just over the horizon for a long time. The toolchains suck and they're mostly very closed down. Debugging is very hard. They cost 20x or so as much as GPUs. Your code becomes very specific to one particular FPGA so upgrading is a total pain. And more.. There are plenty of better solutions out there like TPUs.

Can someone explain to me how you can be productive for 12 hours on a single day?

When I do concentrated programming work, I can maybe do 4 hours, at best 6 hours. It seems I can stretch it when doing more mundane work when I know what needs to be done. But this time is seriously reduced when I have to think about architecture or more complex stuff.

The literature also point into this direction, where writers and serious thinkers do these kind of few hours (also see Cal Newport on deep work).

I know John Carmack said you can be more productive when you can do more easy tasks to fill up the day, but it ends somewhere.

I have a master degree in computer science, and during the exams, my head was full at 20:00. Nothing could get in after that. I know people who could study until 3 in the morning. But you know what, after questioning them, they didn't do shit in the morning.

At work, I always had great reviews and my employers loved me (I'm almost 40 now). I always felt I was slacking off because I worked too little. But then I understood, if I work so little and get great reviews, what are those other guys doing?

So 12 hours a day? You are just lying to yourself. Those people are slacking off like crazy, and probably can't get anything done during the day. And at the end of the day, they are angry at themselves that they didn't do shit and wasted most of those 12 hours slacking off.

But I am sincerely asking to prove me wrong. Is it possible to work 12 productive hours a day? I was always searching for this how some people claim to be able to pull this off. But after investigation, they never really were able to do this.

For ClickHouse speed and performance is #1 priority, so it beats most of the other databases.

So as an in-house solution, ClickHouse most probably would be the fastest option (if your use case suits OLAP requirements).

For clouds / PaaS - it's hard to compare directly. Do you know how many servers will process your BigQuery request?
AFAIK usually BigQuery shows a bit higher performance than single mid-level ClickHouse server (but you can also have a cluster of ClickHouse servers).
