Interesting to see the picture on the top of the article, meant to represent Japanese print manga, features Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) most prominently.

I don't think I've read any True Beauty, but then again, the fact that I'm not at all sure whether I have, whereas there is no chance of a snowball in hell that I'd confuse Shingeki No Kyojin for anything else, suggests to me that Japanese print manga still have a future. To say the least.

And can I take this opportunity to point people to Totsukuni no Shoujo (The Girl from the Other Side)?

Once in a while, I find a little gem like that buried under all the shonen and shoujo in my local bookstore. That's what keeps me coming back for more.

As I said, having experience with modern technology is just “table stakes” to get your foot in the door if you want to stay at least partially hands on.

With the few unsolicited offers I’ve gotten to work for consulting companies just through my network - the travel requirements just won’t work for me right now - I kinda of know the requirements that most consulting companies are looking for.

Few of them are looking to do desktop Windows applications. Yeah some are looking for ways to run legacy Windows applications “in the cloud”, but most are looking for a way to convert them to the web and I haven’t come across any that actually want to start new greenfield desktop applications or for that matter .Net framework applications. Sadly, most aren’t even looking at .Net Core. Hopefully that will change.

Don’t get me wrong, until I chopped everything off of my resume I did before 2008, I did get a few recruiters who were looking for those older technologies, but why would I waste my time gaining experience in older technogies when there is a ridiculous amount of money to be made as a “digital transformation consultant” or by knowing cloud infrastructure and how to architect on top of it (pretty good at it), and the entire Docker ecosystem (learning it)

That's just 2 frameworks installed on a machine.

You can have .NET 2 or whatever older on the same machine too.

Doesn't change the fact that .NET 5 will be the single official .NET release onwards, where development efforts will be concentrated, etc. It's not like MS will support 2 different frameworks (except one as a legacy release).
A few thoughts:

1. The sample is likely too small to draw strong conclusions.

2. What happened after those 4 people installed your app is a good place to start looking for answers. Did they open the app? Did they look around the app's screens? Did the enable it?

3. From reading the play store listing, it's unclear why I would want to use this app. How is it different from my phone's built-in 'Do Not Disturb' feature, which can be enabled in just a couple of taps?

4. Your UI seems a bit complex. For example, your second screenshot on Play shows an entirely blank screen, with all functionality hidden in a menu activated after tapping on three dots.

5. It looks like a pre-release beta, which might put some people off. e.g. in your first screenshot on Play, the header says NoNotificationHour. It's very unusual for UI text to use camel case, so I guess it wasn't a deliberate choice.

6. Have a friend try out the app. Uninstall the app from your phone, open your app's page in the Play app, and hand the phone to your friend. Tell them you made the app and want them to install and try it. But don't say anything else. Just observe them and listen to what they say without responding.

This is part of the reason why the Linux kernel doesn’t have a stable API.

Quote from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/...:

> Depending on the version of the C compiler you use, different kernel data structures will contain different alignment of structures, and possibly include different functions in different ways (putting functions inline or not.) The individual function organization isn't that important, but the different data structure padding is very important.
Yeah, we need to do a lot around messaging, to be clear - the wiki is in an early prototype and there are known bugs, etc. However if you want to try it out, install the repo (run initial_setup, then npm start server), then go to localhost:3000/wiki/ANYTHING. It will create a new wiki named ANYTHING?login=YOURNAME, and there you are.

Or go to https://icchilisrv3.epfl.ch/wiki/hn/Home?login=YOURNAME to test it immediately. (I added a tiny bit of content).

Of course. FFMpeg was used consistently on our backend; we cycled through various codecs to find the best one for our purpose and changed the frontend library accordingly.

And I think you're right on the encoding latency. I believe that H.264 buffers a little bit before it makes a decision on how to compress the frames, where as MPEG1 doesn't? I could be completely wrong but my gut is telling me that MPEG1 is basically independent, slightly-modified JPEG frames.

Is there actually something like that? A way to have issues inside the repo?
Yes, the user has to since the system ignores it. A lisp macro operates, generally, over the abstract syntax tree as opposed to the "abstract binding tree" where alpha equivalences have already been factored out.

Or, concretely, a lisp macro distinguishes between syntax `(my-let (x 3) x)` and `(my-let (y 3) y)` even though they are, under implied semantics, identical. In that way, lisp macros have little to say about binding.

Scattering by droplets/aerosols is an effect that drastically reduces the capability of an optical system to focus at range, it's like shining a flashlight through milk - not the same as variations in air density that you could maybe partially compensate for using adaptive optics.

In rain, common LIDAR wavelengths, like 905nm and 1550nm lose about 0.1-1% of their power due to scattering per meter travelled and on top of that 0.1-1% due to absorption. Of course, this will not scale linearly with higher power but it's a lot even if it's ten times less.

For laser weapons to be effective you need a clear line of sight in the respective wavelength.
Is there a problem with this HN post, that would remove it from view? (While I was typing a comment, the HN title changed twice, and then I couldn't find the post anywhere within the first several front pages of HN (searching each page for "upwork" and "medium"), despite the post having 42 points in 58 minutes. The post is still findable on the second page of "new" at the moment, but seems stuck at 42 points from about 7:00..7:15 US Eastern so far, so might end up not being seen by most US HNers.)

Principles of Information Storage in Small-Molecule Mixtures
Some thoughts about AI: After Chess, Go and StarCraft 1, Magic is definitely an interesting game for AI to tackle next.

While there are certain play patterns, the space of potential actions is extremely large and there is a great number of synergistic interactions between cards that needs to be taken into account.

From an AI perspective Magic is also very hard because it is:

* Non-deterministic
* Partially observable
* Antagonistic

I'm posting this on HN somewhat reluctantly, a bit worried that the discussion might degrade into ideologically-driven arguments.

On the other hand, this is the first time I have come across a short list of coherent, well-written arguments that seek to defend the current US administration's antics in its trading negotiations with China.

At a minimum, I feel this opinion piece provides insight into the thinking of people who support such antics, which otherwise seem arbitrary and irrational.

If the discussion degrades, I will be the first person to flag the thread.
To be more precise, you may not have the right but you do have the opportunity, when it comes to manga and anime. I don't know how feriociously japanese publishers pursue copyright offenders overseas but there certainly is a great number of unofficial translations online most of which seem to be made by people in the US and Europe.

Of course, the translations (and the scans) are often a bit crap. But you can still get an idea of the original's quality.

A Denial of Service Vulnerability in Axios JavaScript HTTP Client
While this paper shows that a player can create a game state where deciding the game result is Turing-complete, it does not show that doing so is an optimal strategy under any circumstance (in particular, the setup requires a starting situation where the player can just win the game instead of performing the setup).

So it seems perfectly possible (and in fact highly likely) that this result does not hold if players play optimally, especially if deck selection is included in the strategy.

The frame can hold a picture, perhaps a picture of your pet duck (For those of you who are curious what a picture of a “quack” looks like, it could be (1) a photo of an oscilloscope trace of a duck saying “quack”, where the signal input comes from a microphone, or (2) for those of you who are more scientifically inclined, a Fast Fourier Transform of the “quack” signal, or (3) a TV-huckster selling a miracle cure for wrinkles, losing weight, etc.).

Ah CLIPS!

There are a few moments in my life as a young programmer that I remember as mind-expanding. CLIPS was one of those moments (along with arrays, files and recursion).

It's forward-chaining (not backward, as Prolog is) so you can see the database of facts build up step by step. A nice bridging point between procedural and declarative programming.

And a foot in the door for parens-based syntax (it looks a bit like LISP) without the s-expression model.

How to Coordinate Yourself When Approaching a Security Check Points Police
I'll give a potentially flamebaity response... But it's because reality appears to say that OSI protocols were right and TCP was wrong.

Plain TCP essentially emulates a full duplex serial port. Applications need more on top of that. Methods for framing, attaching Metadata, data flows, secure transport layers, etc.

So HTTP which provides a modicum of those options ends up being default, because it's available.

For comparison, OSI defined various components to handle those elements and a proper OSI stack should have then available to application developer.

Another example would be Symbolics Lisp Machines (Genera) where the network layer provided a bunch of mid-layer protocols, like one which provided messages that were formed of basic typed data structures. So people would use those to quickly build custom protocols for their applications, thanks to not having to deal with low level details.

Various Middleware also come to mind.

TCP is not enough.

and the synergies can be easily calculated from a machine

This article is all about how those synergies are Turing complete and thus cannot be easily calculated since doing so reduces down to solving the halting problem.

This is a fairly recent development btw (I've been a member since 2002). I'd urge anyone who has been avoiding ebay due to their reputation from 10 years ago to give it a second chance. Either they've changed or Amazon has lowered the bar so far that ebay doesn't seem so bad these days!

Depends on how (and if) the font is hinted. The default Windows GUI font has good hinting and thus is mostly sharp (and even if it wasn't there are other Windows fonts that have good hinting and use the same metrics). Any program that uses that font looks perfectly fine. It is also why i vastly prefer to stick with programs that use the native font rendering and settings.

There are some fonts that do not care about hinting though and look bad - especially emoji fonts (smiley icons often look droopy :-P). I wish Windows had some sort of autohinting like FreeType has for such cases. This is mainly an issue with web sites though and i either avoid sites that use such fonts or, if i care about visiting them often, i use a custom font for those sites with Stylus.

Also depends on what you mean with low DPI. For something like a 1440p 27" monitor, i find it is mostly a personal preference, but i'd call that as "mid" DPI than low. My monitor is 1366x768 at 24" and antialiasing looks a bit blurry there, so i prefer the sharp pixels. Although FWIW even on a 1440p 27" monitor i prefer to disable antialiasing and (at least on Linux where it is easier to do so) use bitmap fonts which are designed to be sharp (some bitmap fonts are just conversions of vector fonts and aren't that great looking).

Not that simple, but not that far off.

Basically MPEG1 has key-frames (“JPEG” frames) and (forward) delta-frames (diffs).

From my understanding H264 has many improvements, including reverse delta-frames.

My guess is that disabling those in the encoder will improve real-time capabilities.

We couldn't give her an open casket funeral and Israel charged her family $20k for processing her "crimes" and shipping her body back to the USA.

This is how Israel functions now, it doesn't matter if you're a terrorist or not, they will kill anybody who defies them.
