I installed if for my daughter so she could complete her high school film project only after paying for a copy of Sony Vegas (school recommendation) that failed repeatedly to import her clips (mp4). OpenShot imported her clips flawlessly. Editing was also similar enough that she was able to easily figure it out. Multi-line title slides were a bit of challenge for her but she eventually figured it out. She, also wished she could name her cut/clips on the timeline for easy reference but she couldn't find any obvious way to do that. Overall it was a pleasant experience for her.

This was the main reason I left Linux. It had everything I needed, Blender for 3D, GIMP for photo editing, Krita for painting and Gravit Designer for Vector illustrations (not open source). But I just could not use OpenShot, KDENlive and others. The UX killed my time. I had to look up documentation to do some very basic tasks (smooth cross fade, Pan and Zoom etc). I think there's great potential in a "Windows Movie Maker" type video editor and OpenShot could come close with some UI tweaks.

I hope you read the article I linked to - this is all info you would find there.

I really don't agree this is "better." Given these two horrible choices, I would rather be afforded freedom to roam (even with heavy things), get food and go on a walk than this. There's no kitchen, so the women have to wait for someone to bring them food or water. They're not safe in these huts - many are exposed to the elements, and these "sinful" women are apparently free taking for raping (which is why they try to coordinate and not go alone). Many die from heat stroke or poisonous snakes. There aren't even beds or mattresses... these are prison cells.

Maybe it’s higher variance and higher expected value than the stock market. I don’t believe that but it’s certainly a conclusion you could draw from the price action. The overall return since inception is much better than the stock market at any similar time frame in history, even after multiple >50% pullbacks.

ClojureScript can run on Node.js and the Browser.
The article linked may well be longer, but it certainly isn't "better" by any definition. It starts by claiming that Apple, not the suspect, filed the suit, and seems to state later on that the arrested man was killed by police. I say "seems to state" because the grammar and vocabulary are so very odd throughout the article that I suspect it is the output of some text generation algorithm trying to recycle the story from a different source.
Yes engineered but under what pretext. The assumption is always that its totalitarian but this is never stated. Could just as easily be steady state.
That might be all there is. Try not to think about it.
Apple Is a Major AWS Customer
Thank you for sharing. That makes sense from a regulatory point of view - on the other hand, it is deeply concerning from the point of view of society (especially when it comes to other diseases that may have an influence on driving ability e.g. phychosis).

As always, there is a trade-off in technology application.
Who the fuck cares?

Sadly, probably more people than care about the other stuff. At least if my News feed says anything about society. I have to actively block/dislike anything celebrity related or it clogs my feed.

As for notifications, with easy access to news through HN, Apple News, online newspapers, and social media feeds, I don't feel like I need notifications for much.

Right now, my phone is limited to texts, calls, meeting reminders, and the security system at my house. None from social media, none from news, email is off, etc.
When I ran NemCV, a free service for foreigners which helped nearly 20,000 people get employment for free, everyone was confused as they couldn't understand that we did this for free to help others. Even my bank manager and the local tax authority (SKAT) caused me huge problems as they seemed to think I was charging people under the table, as they could not understand the "help others for free" part
The linked article says nothing about where he was arrested.

(The NY Post article that is linked to in the linked article mentions that he received a summons in the mail and was later arrested, but it doesn't say where he was arrested. I concede that it wasn't in the Apple store, but there is no indication of that in the original article))
I for one am glad to hear this aired in a public forum, even though it took several pointless replies to get to the "hey, check out this bad default setting"... I'm learning Python as a distant third priority, I had only heard of pdb once, and I would have probably tripped over this logger that logs by default to nowhere at least once before I resorted to giving up and reading the documentation in anger.

Why is it this way, do you think? (Is it a reasoned stance? I would have expected the logger to send messages to stdout by default, so at the risk of getting a "Read the docs!" am I going to be equally surprised at the behavior of basicConfig?)

Serverless backends tend to work quite well when paired with a Single Page Application on the frontend – e.g. Vue.js or React. That way your frontend can be served from a static host – e.g. S3 or GitHub Pages – almost instantly. And so the perceived performance of your application isn't harmed (as much as you'd think) by the latency of your backend, since other aspects of the application's interface can load and continue to be responsive.
Generally speaking if you answer "no" on an employment form and then get denied for having been arrested even though no charges ever stuck and that is specifically the reason for denial (most employers aren't this stupid though) then there is a settlement check in your future.
Speaking as someone with some military experience, almost certainly the second. Military computers are locked down excessively, often in ways that are actually counter to real security. Policy is reactionary, and is all-too-often simultaneously too narrow and too broad (in orthogonal ways) which ends up impacting usability while not really adding any security.
Move constructors are allowed to call the moved object's destructor.

Not necessarily like the example given, but

Vendors have already come up with a way to fight the vendor lock-in dodging that this article recommends: data egress charges.

Whenever you are trying to take your data out of one cloud into another one, you're going to be charged heavily, and these costs will likely exceed the costs of accepting vendor lock in and keeping your data housed in one location.

The only realistic way to fight vendor lock in is to keep your code as isolated from proprietary API's as possible (e.g. deploy containers, or use interfaces to isolate proprietary calls in your app).
I wouldn't classify HN as one of the 'old-school' forums. The community is too large for that.

As I remember forums they are quite a lot smaller than HN and tended to focus around more specific topics. (HN is rather broad).

Ahhh. The glory of capitalism. The reason you ask yourself how much I can make off of X thing is because society tells itself that having X billions of dollars = success.
Yes. Toward the end there is an example of the kind of effect their model gives:

"As an example, for the Australian Stingless Bee (mass = 2.5 mg) a P abs of 3 × 10–8 W is estimated for an incident field strength of 1 V/m at 60 GHz. Under the assumption that the insect has a specific heat capacity equal to that of water (4179 J/K kg43), this RF-EMF exposure would result in a temperature increase of 3 × 10–6 K/s, in an isolated approximation."

Early in the article, this insect size is given:

"The scanned insect was approximately 4.5 mm long, 3.0 mm wide."

So a surface on the order of ~10 mm2. The sun provides ~100 W/m2 in winter, ~1000 W/m2 in summer. So in winter, that's about 10-4 W/mm2 or 10-3 W over the surface of this insect. The absorbed energy due to 5G per their model is several orders of magnitude below the absorbed energy coming from flying under a winter sun.

It's very good that people look at such effects. There may also be other effects besides just thermal ones as considered above. But clearly the title ("5g Detrimental to insects" at the time I write this) is undeserved and borderline trollish IMHO.
> I think the vast majority of these types of issues are mental health related.

My experience was nowhere near as bad as yours, but I have gotten 4am texts demanding that a ban be lifted.

I don't think it's mental health; I think it's just a disconnect from the fact that the glowing dots on the screen have real people behind them. We can call it a mental health issue, but if that's the case, it's spread across our whole society .

Free speech is the right to expose your ideas without fear of persecution, censorship, silencing, no matter the ideas because ideas that are not yours are the possibility to open your mind and heart to a different perspective.

What's the point of exchanging ideas if you want all ideas to look the same as yours, it's cheaper to talk to a parrot or with your self image in a mirror.

It's arrogant to believe that your ideas are perfect and that because other people's ideas are different they're wrong, false or not meeting reality. Maybe it's your ideas that are wrong, false and far from meeting the reality, but how will you be able to know whether this is the case if you don't allow the existence of those ideas in the discourse whether private or public.

We need ideas to be explored and if they are explored alone they can quickly turn into madness.

My point is to give ideas a chance to be exposed without fear of persecution so that the best ones can thrive not just those ideas that we are used to.

It shouldn't be ok to abuse people's right to free speech; not just in public spheres but also in private spheres too.
Our culture shouldn't be based on fear.
Fear of difference, fear of persecution.

We should be able to expose ourselves with confidence no matter who we are and what we think.
Censoring someone is abuse not just of other people but also of yourself.

I'll be one of the first people to tell you that all cops are a hair trigger away from entering "asshole cop" mode but the nature of the crime definitively determines how they act. Arresting someone with an outstanding warrant for shoplifting/theft is going to be handled very differently than arresting someone who has a history of being involved in drug trafficking violence.
Another approach is to ask the person you're helping what they're good at.

As long as it's something reasonable, let them know if/when you need a hand with that later on, then they can expect a call in return. :)

Basically the problem with capitalism is that it assigns financial values to everything. This becomes readily apparent if you become self-employed as a freelancer or entrepreneur, especially if you follow the advice to "do what you know best" (which often means turning a hobby into a job).

Are you reading that article because you enjoy it or are you learning to become better at your job? Are you showing off or are you maintaining your personal brand? Is this a holiday trip or are you staking out new business opportunities? Are you mindlessly immersing yourself in art and entertainment or are you looking for inspiration to fuel your job as a creative? Is that chat with an old friend leisure time or are you networking? You've already been watching Game of Thrones for two hours -- you're actively losing money because you could be charging people for that time if you did something work-related instead.

Everything becomes a financial tradeoff, everything is assigned a monetary value until all remaining intrinsic motivation is lost.

And unless you're lucky enough to be born into massive wealth or lucked out by being in the right place at the right time with the right skills and identity, you have no other choice than to constantly worry about financial values because your life literally depends on it. Even if you consider yourself somewhat safe and financially stable it doesn't take much to throw you right back into this grind.

Not really. Few if any platforms compete with the JVM on performance and observability (monitoring/management) and ecosystem. It's technologically head and shoulders above pretty much all other runtimes (e.g. BEAM has excellent observability, but loses big time on performance and ecosystem). Also, if you're OK with the JVM running at BEAM speeds, you can give it far less memory.

Between tampons/pads, bras, thinner/less quality clothing for as much or more $$$, and socially pressured skincare/makeup/hair product, the overall cost I would guess would be equivalent or more than the nutrition for a few hundred calories per day. There are a lot of factors forcing or pressuring women to spend more money or recieve social reprimand, lowered job prospects, etc. (As in the article! Keeping girls in school!)

Men also get pressured in other ways, but very rarely are they directly monetary/consumptive the way women are in my opinion.
Is this a gender thing, or should we just not have benefits/health coverage held over our heads in marriages and jobs?

Seems they both really cut down on mobility and freewill. For marriage, I get the State's motive, the "entice people to build a family unit" idea, but that's clearly not happening anymore.
I studied physics and this at a time when faculty gradually changed from blackboard-based lectures to powerpoint. The blackboard-based lectures were far superior to any other way of lecturing (in my view).

Main benefit was in the speed of presentation. Writing on a blackboard takes some time, the lecturer is slow enough in presenting that you can really follow along, while not "standing still". What a contrast to powerpoint presentations where the lecturer paused for a minute or two to let students read the equations. Either time was not enough, or you'd start to get bored.

Until I graduated at the end of my 5 year program, I tutored freshmen students. Towards the end of my time at uni, they almost exclusively had lectures with powerpoints. I sat in one of the into lectures and what had been a good introductory course to classical mechanics had turned into a mind-numbing powerpoint karaoke show.

you can roll eyes at me all you want, but I've been programming in C++ for a long time. These memory access issues just don't seem to be a big problem for us in practice. That's because we wrap all raw memory manipulation in appropriate classes for our application, so it's just not an issue. I agree it could be an issue in theory.

I created bigcgi.com largely in reaction to vendor lockin. I use the CGI standard and open source the whole platform. It allows for serverless apps to run locally, with or without the platform, because any valid CGI binary/script (which communicates via stdin, env vars, and stdout) should run on the platform.

For some the money is just a symptom, not the problem.

I for instance try to "optimize" things. I overdo stuff, and eventually burn out of it. It doesn't matter if I can make money from it, I'll latch on to just about anything and my brain will start working overtime to think of anything and everything to be able to get better at it, until I no longer want anything to do with it.

It's happened with jobs, it's happened with videogames, it's happened with things like building computers or working with microcontrollers.

It's a personality trait of mine, and taking the symptom away (do things that can't make money, do things that don't have any kind of "scoring") doesn't solve the problem, it just changes it. And when I did end up trying to find hobbies that had no way of "scoring", nothing to get better at, nothing to improve on, I found myself pretty depressed.

It was something I needed to work on internally, something I needed to talk with a therapist about and learn to manage. And at this point in my life, I feel I have a much better handle on it. But simply picking hobbies that can't become a source of income didn't change anything for me, it just meant that I got less benefit from overdoing it.
Even if this is true, the problem is that Google reCAPTCHA is way easier to slap on anything, and for the few hurdles it imposes it is very effective at stopping bots.

I'm not in a position to decide on a human verification mechanism, but I used to do WordPress and Drupal CMS work as a freelancer. The number of non-technical people setting up their own sites on these platforms vastly outnumbers the people who even are aware of some of the downsides to Google reCAPTCHA. Until the mechanisms you described implementing are as easy as installing a plug-in, Google reCAPTCHA is here to stay.
