>> I'm tired I just want to build stuff that solves problems.

I can relate to this. While that's always been part of my motivation, there were other things in play too, like wanting to do something "better" than before. Or using new methods. Or applying X to Y just because. Now, as I get older, I don't want to deal with overly complicated shit, excessive dependencies, or unnecessary bling.

As an example in the GUI space I keep wondering why GTK 4 is getting a scene graph. I've done GFX programming for years and scene graphs are almost never the right answer. Why does a GUI toolkit even need one? No GUI should be that complex. No GUI toolkit should provide one for applications - that's not their job. Don't get me wrong, GTK is my preferred toolkit (in spite of gnome), I just think people keep extending things for the wrong reason. If it works and isn't broke, don't change anything. If the world changed and wants multi-touch, fine, add that. But don't go around doing your science experiments in projects that lots of other people use as infrastructure or building blocks.

Change is constant. Real progress is slow.
Sure, technically. The same way Chromium is technically open source. Funny how everything in the web browser world ends up how Google wants it regardless.

What prevents GAN's from learning a new patch for them ?

That isn't really how it works. The search warrant must be narrowly scoped to only what is required to investigate the crime for which they have probable cause. However if they find evidence of other crimes while staying within the scope of the original warrant they can generally use that evidence at trial.

So for instance if the police have probable cause that a wanted criminal is at your house they can get a search warrant to search it for him. If while searching they see illegal drugs on your coffee table they can use that evidence under the plain view exception. However if they open up your schoolbag and find drugs they would not be able to use that as evidence because there is no way a person can fit inside your bag so searching it couldn't have been part of the search authorized by the warrant.
> why won't Pinterest let me match whatever the advertisers are paying for my eyeballs for this year

The users who would opt out are likely educated and higher income. Taking them out of the pool reduces its value by a difficult-to-estimate amount to advertisers.
Anecdotally, 3M seem to suffer more than I'd expect from fake products flooding the market place.

I've lost count of the number of reviews of products I've read which advertise "3M tape / adhesive" or alike, where it turns out to be something cheap with a 3M logo on it.

Likely a drop in the ocean of 3M's business, but every little helps, I guess.
My memory was faulty - I did MIPS on QEMU to get big endian.

The steps are here for posterity:

John didn't invent it for everyone to implement it on everything on the internet. He invented it for him to use on his blog because he's a writer and wanted to focus on his content, not on writing HTML. Just because it's not "specified" that doesn't mean it's not the canonical spec. All of the other additions that aren't on that page aren't based on the canonical version of Markdown.
Does it bypass "Please unblock or you won't see any content" type of web behaviors?
Yeah. I take it as a given that they want to be billionaire emperors, but that is not very relevant. If people are interpreting "want" outside of the realms of what is possible for them to get, then they aren't on the same page with me about what that word means in this context.

But I'm not getting downvoted because of semantics. There's a very vocal socialist/labor movement contingent on HN that flocks to discussions like this.
You think it’s logical to have an entire module to do

foo % 2 === 0

?

What about another module to call the first one and invert the return?

Development based around npm modules is a joke

> IMO, it's just a DNS black hole with a slick interface

This is why it gets to the front page.

It's a DNS black hole with a slick interface.

You run it and it does great by itself, manages the updates, and when it does do something you don't want (or vice versa) there's this really slick interface for figuring it out and correcting it.

We underestimate how much slick interfaces are worth, especially when they make a chore that was almost entirely CLI driven and making it a non-chore for a bigger audience.
It's worth nothing that's for the federal question, although it's certainly relevant here too.

As far as the Massachusetts Constitution, two of the judges here held that this type of location data is protected. The majority focused on the government action (it's not third party if the police actively cause a third party to do something), but the broader question might get revisited in a later case.
Elon Musk and Steve Jobs are and were highly intelligent people. For them it is less about bullshitting but more about their dreams and goals.

I do not believe Elon Musk is bullshitting when giving timeframes, he knows what is possible technically, but fails to predict how long it takes to deliver
> all those repeated trips through the washer and dryer wear them out more quickly.

Particularly the drier. But I think most people use their driers wrong -- they want their clothes to be bone dry when they come out, and that's what causes the largest amount of wear and tear (all that lint in your lint trap is the result of damage to your clothing). Better to have the drier get the clothes almost, but not quite, completely dry.
Not at all sure why they're graying you down, but you make some very good points. There are just way too many credible witnesses who have observed objects in the sky far outperforming the principals of aeronautics and the laws of physics as we know them.
I agree that it's important for people to be independent about locating and ingesting information. I also think that it's good to include a quick definition, particularly for stuff that's really specific (indeed - while looking for a definition I found a blog post that starts with "If you don't already know what Immediate Mode GUIs are then please stop now").

I did a Google search but there weren't any clear definitions on the first page or so.

I did search for the Wikipedia article and here's what I got:

"Immediate Mode GUI is a GUI where the event processing is directly controlled by the user. The key is the aspect of retained (RMGUI) vs non-retained UI (IMGUI). In the latter, the user code is holding on its own natural data, in the former it is stored in the GUI system, often hidden from the user code. The immediate mode GUI widget toolkits are more direct and thus less complex, thus they are a good choice for those who want a simple but easily changeable and extendable GUI toolkit, they are usually generic, open source and cross-platform. The original Immediate Mode GUI toolkit was imgui[1] which is based on OpenGL. The idea was popularized by Casey Muratori. There are others such as nuklear[2] with backends for several graphics libraries, kiss_sdl[3] for SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) or dear imgui[4] written in C++ (here the jvm port[5])."

First, the quality of this writing isn't great, to the point where it makes it harder to read.

I think that the above definition makes sense if you already know what Immediate Mode is, but it was pretty opaque on my first read (partly because I misunderstood "user" in the first sentence to mean "the customer sitting in front of the computer and using your IMGUI program", instead of "other code that uses the IMGUI").

The definition now makes sense to me after reading other posts here explaining that this was a Direct3D thing.

So yeah - I can see the arguments that we're not the target audience (and I understand that the person who posted this to HN probably isn't the author), but I think that Stratoscope's point that articles posted to the general HN audience would benefit from short, clear definitions (or links to definitions) in the articles is spot-on.

Also, props to Stratoscope for their calm, constructive replies in the face of a lot of disagreement! If we all did this (and I include myself here for sure) the Internet would be a better place.
Interesting. But since, these adversarial images have to be tuned to the recognition engine in question, what keeps the authors of the recognition engines in question from updating their engines or models or algorithms from recognizing and disregarding such adversarial images?
My favorite rhubarb recipe:

http://cooking-books.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicken-with-baked...

3 ingredients.
1) Of all the things the data can be used for, one of the least useful ones -- to the point of being nearly meaningless -- is comparing the performance of different languages to each other, the thing that the game's presentation emphasizes most.

Is that what the presentation emphasizes most?

"Will your toy benchmark program be faster if you write it in a different programming language? It depends how you write it!"

"Which programs are faster?"

"Which programs are fast?"

"Non-motivation: We are profoundly uninterested in claims that these measurements, of a few tiny programs, somehow define the relative performance of programming languages."

2) Or look even at "Java" vs "Substrate VM" pidigits.

Currently 2 Java pidigits programs are shown.

The program with the fastest measurements on OpenJDK uses GMP and something different needs to be done to make that program work on Substrate VM.

3) …but crashes, and what appears to be some junk result is reported.

What is reported? Measurements at the largest workload both programs worked.

4) examples … you… seem to say, see, warmup doesn't matter

See, for programs with runtimes of 0.24s, 1/10th of a second is a lot!

See, for programs with runtimes of 4s and 20s, 1/10ths of a second… !

5) Now I'm looking at Haskell's fannkuch-redux

And… ?

6) … if the comparison was for the same language (and compiler) then this would be interesting, but what does this tell you when comparing different languages?

That seems to be a subjective statement about your interests.

Someone else might think that neither "tell you" much until you investigate Why?

The time it takes to build software is my biggest concern right now. I have nearly worked myself into severe states of mental health trying to meet unrealistic deadlines. Who sets these deadlines? I have no idea, but more and more of the engineers around me are leaving for better working environments and being replaced by fresh engineers who are lured in by the salary.

Needless to say, I’m eager to work in a healthier and realsitic culture.
Maybe it is a word, but I think candidate is a more generally accepted term
You compile ahead-of-time (AOT) with TypeScript? Where can I get details on this?
I don't think you really have to apply these things to your daily life. It is merely a question of _why_ is it that you feel time in your daily life like you do. It's as much of a question of philsophy as it is a question of physics.
It's bc they're manually updated.
I thought that was funny too. Once it's established, it keeps coming back, and you just need to take the stalks before it bolts.
Funnier still is that I suspect that “bullshitters” are probably well represented in this thread; pitchforks in hand, and bashing “bullshitters” like everyone else.
But if one said magicians use sleight of hand to fool the brains of audience members into the illusion that magic has been performed, then why doesn't that bring clarity? Illusions are perceptual errors the brain creates when misinterpreting data from the senses, often because of some unusual condition in the environment.

This idea has been extended to say things like reality could be an illusion (Matrix scenarios), or something we take to be fundamental to reality such as the flow of time could be an illusion, in that our mental experience of it is misleading us into thinking it's fundamental.

That we can be fooled by our experience of the world is not controversial. People thought the world was flat and that the moon and sun rose around a still Earth, which was the center of the cosmos. Because that's how it appeared to them.
If we're reading data from the brain isn't that by definition reading thoughts, regardless of where in the brain they originate from?
It can't. At least, not without systems for off-chain transaction settlement, like the Lightning Network -- which brings a bunch of new complexity and new problems with it.
I have been coding mobile apps for a while, both native, with react native, and now I'm doing a flutter app.

Can't say much about this desktop targets, but on the mobile side, in terms of size and performance, they are much closer to native than react.
Is it possible to work with Flutter using Typescript, or is it Dart only?

It really feels like Typescript won the war to be something of a JS replacement a long time ago - I like the look of Flutter, but I really don't want to learn another language that I won't use for anything else.

BTW, I realise Dart is likely similar to Typescript in many respects, and I wouldn't expect a big learning curve - but I already have enough languages under my belt and don't want anything else to add to the occasional syntax confusion I get.

The bug that the author describes sounds pretty bad.

However, it reminds me of one feature of Mail.app that I do like (though I'm sure other email clients have similar features): the "Mark addresses not ending with <domain of your choice>" setting.

It makes it easy to avoid accidentally sending sensitive emails to people outside of your company, since the addresses will appear in red when composing a message.
