I experienced this problem as well, and is very disheartening. So many basic operations from good Windows version are either missing or very hard to discover on Windows 10. There was absolutely no _good_ thought put into its UI choices.
I love the uncertainty of it. There are so many things that can go wrong - weather, pests, misunderstanding a plants needs. Too many factors out of your control. At the end of the day you have to accept that nature will take its own course and appreciate it.
In Portland, it's the citizens that the police refuse to protect. They let antifa and proud boys duke it out, while the regular people without a bone in the fight are left to defend themselves. Literally sit there a block away watching as antifa steps into the streets, redirects traffic, and beats citizens and cars that don't obey their instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq-dcJrnGTM
> banning tracking your children with GPS is certainly possible (and Germany did it, per TFA)

From TFA, I don't read the German ban as being a prohibition on GPS-based tracking, but rather on secretive audio eavesdropping being the problematic functionality.

”It just makes so much more sense to fold to the outside.”

It may make less sense if the bended part of the screen isn’t as strong as conventional flat screens.

There’s a bit of a catch-22 there: you either fold the screen to the inside to give it some more protection, or you fold it to the outside to have a screen on the outside and increase the bending radius.

I don’t know enough of the technology to say what’s the better choice, but it seems it isn’t a trivial decision to make. If it were, the two companies would have made the same choice.

What does “tech” mean in this context?
I'm pretty good with navigation and directions, but those directions become useless for me once the app tells me anything in feet/meters. Once I hear "In 300 feet..." I stop listening and glance at the spatial layout of the roads.

Can't second this enough. This connection between soil (direct environment) to your gut is, as stupid as it seems, a marvellous thing.[1]

> There's something about sitting in a green (or red, or blue, or yellow, etc.) space that you made.

Few time I walk in a forest (semi-wild) I feel like a forest is like a big nest. Enough roof, enough sunlight, enough green things aronud. It feels very safe most of the time[0].

I'll add something, wood is so superb.. as a material too. Using it as construction (small or large) is a great pleasure. The soft sound, the soft touch, the pale color.. when seen with a bit of chemist eye, you appreciate it a lot.

ps: on volcanic side of caribean islands, the nature is also overwhelmingly present. Giving you a lot of opportunities to be around a tiny stream of clear water surrounded by plants. You know people listening to rainy sonuds to relax. It was an amplified version of this. It made my mind trip in a weird way, as if flowing water became my time source and made me forget about the world.

[0] there are times where your spidey senses will wake up though, which is also super surprising because it's not like fear or stress. It's N times more acute senses and focus. Almost a pleasure.. especially considering how dull a modern daily life can make you feel.

[1] society forgot that because of modern times social delegation but it should be a human right. Today you may not have enough to do your own food growing. If you fall of the city tree you'll starve.
Yes, you're right. I misrecalled. Thanks.
OSM's success has largely come from being efficient and focused. Adding photos and Street View would move into areas where the project has no expertise.

For navigation, on the other hand, it's already streets ahead (pun unintentional) of Google et al... for those of us who travel on foot or bike, that is!

I seem to recall there are a couple of github issues around reusing goroutines and their stacks or being able to specify the stack size of a new goroutine instead of making it a runtime constant. Either would be very helpful for those of us using Go at scale.
Well the guidelines say that "Show HN is a way to share something that you've made on Hacker News." but it looks like the community is satisfied to have marketers promoting (which is what OP does) instead of builders discussing with other hackers.

I share your disappointment and would like to know how the admins see this.
An app that limits technology in online dating
I agree with your point, but in my experience it's people 50+ that are actively using FB to maintain social networks. People under 30 seem to only maintain a ghost account and use other apps for their social networking. Your point stands regardless of the platform most popular in your social circle, however.
Guessing you're American? OSM is very often better than Google in Europe and other parts of the world. It's spottier in the US.
The original comment that says anything short of "autonomy over themselves, their proprerty, and their privacy" is child abuse still does trivialize real abuse. I think you still have time to edit that comment to be more specific about the kinds of non-autonomy you think of as abuse.
What?

I never realized there was a problem with clipboards on mainstream Linux desktops?

Edit: after a couple of minutes of thinking I have found one single thing that isn't consistent: when copying and pasting from/to a terminal I have to use ctrl + shift + c or ctrl + shift + v (understandable since ctrl + c is used to terminate running programs).

Personally I guess cut, copy and paste should have been moved to Super + x/c/v since they are global os-level shortcuts, but it would break the habits of many of us so I guess that should be configurable as well.
I personally find the Pentel EnerGels to be great value, write smooth as the Uniballs, and the Pilot V5/V7s but dries a lot faster, and is much cheaper too.
Not the person you are responding to, but I think the point is that if you want to do an advanced physics degree with the primary goal of advancing your career, that is a horrible idea because there are much more efficient ways to advance your career.

However, if you love physics and want to get an advanced degree for it's own sake, the degree will still likely be a boost to your career, just not necessarily in proportion to the effort you put in to get it.
Thanks for trying my app!
And thank you for taking the time to respond!

It does have a LONG way to go. These are valid criticisms. And all areas we are working to improve on with our next ML model. (Sad vs Negative, rating numbers as "salty",

This model is pretty simple. It's using TextBlob and looking for a combination of negative sentiment (not necessarily condescending) and subjectivity. Essentially hand built heuristics derived by weighting each word in the sentence. Not a great way to make predictions.

The model is FAR from great. But great from afar. For high level (overall user saltiness) it performs better.

The unlabeled dataset of this size presents some unique challenges but in our testing of our new model (based on SOTA BERT fine-tuining & a large labeled training dataset) the results look promising. I'm really looking forward to getting it deployed.

I am encouraged by the words of @pg who said "you can and should give users an insanely great experience with an early, incomplete, buggy product, if you make up the difference with attentiveness.

Can, perhaps, but should? Yes. Over-engaging with early users is not just a permissible technique for getting growth rolling. For most successful startups it's a necessary part of the feedback loop that makes the product good. Making a better mousetrap is not an atomic operation. Even if you start the way most successful startups have, by building something you yourself need, the first thing you build is never quite right. And except in domains with big penalties for making mistakes, it's often better not to aim for perfection initially."

I do, too.

I also remember a few times (both as a young, scared small child, and as an older embarrased teenager) losing track of my parents and having the employees call "Will Mrs. Carrotson please come to the service counter" over the intercom...and I hear similar messages when shopping now as an adult.

That said, I'm a lot more fearful of what could happen if my toddler was found by someone other than me in the center of the clothing rack. To be clear, I have little fear of a criminal harming or absconding with my child, I'm much more afraid of what happens when a well-meaning bystander thinks they need to call CPS to make sure that my kid is taken care of.

I don't think it's too different than switching between browser tabs.

- Ctrl + Tab: within window
- Alt + Tab: between windows
- Alt + ~: between applications

I think the main problem is that these shortcuts are difficult to learn. For example, I didn't know about Alt + ~ until this thread (!), and I'm confused at how users are meant to learn shortcuts like that.
Linux (really X Windows) has the best clipboard: select text to "copy", middle click to "paste".

A silly question, because it is so vague. What do you mean by "common sense"? How do you define a "machine"?

What's a good pocket-sized VR headset you'd recommend?
I would say yes. Pursue physics only because you love it. Unless you want to go into Defense the job prospects are terrible. However, learning physics teaches you how to learn anything and how to do it fast. This turns out to be an invaluable skill for programming, so physicists make great programmers. You just have to earn it on top of all the physics.
- Windows 10 (What can I say I play games on my big beefy desktop and I’m not going to run another OS for coding).

I code in 2 envs

- Visual Studio + C# (steps: install vs, Done)

Mostly low level techy things like audio plugins, raytracers and similar.

For the occasional (rare) web project I do backend in one of the above and frontend in vs code, using whatever framework became most popular that morning.
I don't know about you, but this investigation has been exhausting and extremely divisive for the country as a whole.. I think if no action is going to come out of this investigation, then its time for us to move on and think about bigger and better things.

What We Know So Far from the Mueller Report
Great tech article!
What if the platforms were only there for people to express themselves in which ever way they felt comfortable doing publicly?

If the social media companies limited themselves to just that, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The fact is, they specifically zero in on stuff that "engages", so if you happened to innocently like a friend's vacation photo, your feed will be modified to show you more of that stuff, because the machine thinks that's what you want to see all the time.

If you're involved in animal rights advocacy, don't be surprised if your feed is full of horrible pictures of overcrowding and abusive conditions on farms. If you're interested in fitness, IG will show you a flood of semi-pornographic "workout routines" of fitness models, but very little about proper form.

These are platforms where the search functionality is intentionally gimped to search for usernames and hashtags as opposed to actual text content, which a lot of IG posts have; it's not all just pics and videos.
I think what you mean is error handling? If so, a team of humans must predict the error conditions that need to be handled and how to handle them with as much grace as feasible.

Or are you talking about AI/ML?
IBM has been banned from our data center for several years. The decision was before my time, but the answer I've been told is overly expensive, unreliable, and poor support when compared to other vendors.
There's a great documentary on the construction of cathedrals which heavily relies on this same research. It's floating around YouTube (not gonna link it because if I do it will probably get flagged and taken down as I suspect it violates copyright by being there). It goes into mid level detail on how they were constructed. It's well worth watching if you're interested in this kind of thing.
Cinnamon is a truly underrated DE. I don't use it anymore (now that I have most of the Gnome 3 shortcuts memorized, I love it) but Cinnamon took the gorgeousness of Gnome 3 and mashed it up with the classic functionality of Gnome 2. Why the community rallied around MATE and not Cinnamon I will never understand.
I agree. Would have been much easier too. Unfortunately, HN doesn't have downvotes. The current model does incorporate upvotes, but we're seeing a lot more success training with like-kind labeled datasets + BERT fine tuning.

Thank you for trying the app and hopefully V2 will leave you feeling like the system is more precise.

>(Alt-Tab, really?)

Yeah, but they're changing it _back_ to the way it should have been, and the way it used to be. Which is wayyyyyyyy better.

>They also mention a "better" multi-monitor support. that scares me. I have a multi-monitor setup that works. I could do with a few more options but it works.

I share your fear, but I have a multi-monitor setup that doesn't work. Half the the time I disconnect the monitor, all my windows get stranded in never-never land and I have to come up with some arcane way to rescue them from the desktop that isn't really there. So I don't think they have a particularly great framework with the status quo.
For liability reasons, newspapers are notoriously wary of naming specific organizations or linking to third-party sites , especially in the case of sensitive topics like MH treatment, in case it's mistaken as an endorsement.
Lets you use your phone for longer between charges. You're acting like battery life isn't a user feature, but it is: companies advertise heavily on it, and it can often be a differentiator between midrange and premium phones.

You're looking for a user story where only looking at the corollary makes it obvious that battery life enables everything else.

Suppose you shipped a phone with 99% less battery life than its competitors. You could, at trivial expense, increase your 1% to 10%, your engineers propose how to do so.

You reply, "My phone lasts longer and that lets me _____".

To which your engineers reply, "Use your phone?"

Deep learning and machine learning don’t work. Quantitative math will always prevail, as it always has. Unfortunately, mathematical research isn’t there yet. We don’t have models for vision, audition and linguistics. Neuroscience and psychology are in their infancy, a good analogy would compare these fields to where physics was pre-Newton, Galileo era of understanding. I suspect that in the decades to come, these fields will influence mathematics the same way physics influenced calculus. Physics historically had a huge influence on math, in the coming century it will be neuroscience and psychology, in linking brains to behavior, and the quantitative laws that allow brains to give rise to minds.
I don't think it's right to apply survivorship bias in this case.

I mean, it's trivially true that anything unmaintained will collapse over a long enough time-frame, but I don't think >50% of buildings built to last collapsed before their time. If anything the damn things were overbuilt and hard to get rid of, even while being plundered for building materials.
I'm trying to understand how you got 200 from this report. On page 2, I see this paragraph about the Missing Person Circumstances (MPC) field in their database:

"Of the 647,435 records entered in 2016, the MPC field was utilized in 315,995 (48.8%). When the MPC field was utilized in 2016 entries, 303,237 (96%) were coded as Runaway, 2,107 (.7%) as Abducted by Non-custodial Parent, 303 (.1%) as Abducted by Stranger, and 10,348 (3.3%) as Adult - Federally required entry."

So it looks like one should take the number 303 for "Abducted by Stranger" and perhaps, since only 48.8% of records had this field populated, extrapolate to about 620 cases. Does that sound right, or should it be 200 based on a different reasoning?

Of course, 620 cases is still a pretty small number. I just wanted to understand where your numbers came from. How did you get the figure of 90% making it home safely, and how did you calculate the probability of 0.00027%?
I do mainly macOS and iOS development. In the last 20 years, I don't remember ever doing a fresh install because I just haven't needed to. I simply install (well update) macOS and Xcode. That's it. That's everything I need to do my development. Honestly if I needed more, I don't think I'd bother anymore. I'm amazed at the sheer number of extra crap developers on other platforms are forced to install just to be productive.
