Well of course you don't need to. Individual/independent developers would use what they deem fit. It is corporate developers who will receive mandate to use a particular language or technology. For example a large company where I work, it is mostly Java shop. However the new telemetry/tooling group has now mandated to use Go. So about 40+ devs are working in Go. Nobody asked their opinion about Go vs Java or Generics , Sum types, exception vs errors and so on. Same devs would have used Weblogic/Websphere or whatever if asked.

Developers in this categories are not going to say "LOL J2EE" or "LOL Go". They will do whatever being asked and collect paycheck in return. If they chose to be independent voice, they are going to be asked to leave and make way for devs who comply.

The rest of the Bay Area from Berkeley to Morgan Hill is not much better in terms of price. Perhaps more livable in terms of less density and less flagrant poverty as S.F.'s urban environment, but the region in general is already glutted.
I understand and appreciate striking a balance between precision and a good story.

But I thought in this case, perhaps this was a big deal. I thought one of the reasons why 2D graphics and 3D graphics are so different is because of ... is it topology? ... For any arbitrarily complex curve, I think I can give you a 1D parameterization for it. At least to some desired accuracy.

What condition is required of a surface so that you can do the same, with a 2D parameterization?
SF spends $400 million a year on what it terms behavioral health (encompassing both mental healthcare and drug abuse treatment). How much more do you think ought to be spent?
So the 1% fallacy - i.e. "if we could just get 1% of this huge market we will be billionaires!" (ignoring the costs involved).

naw thats not the problem. the problem is most tech companies hate remote. its always been that way.
I hope they keep chipping away at the Store. It's a nice additional stream of apps that while lacking in curation provides an easy route for novice users to get something or even just browse. They need either a higher bar for quality or much more vast curated content for users to explore. Same with UWP, I hope they don't kill it off. It's a good entry point for some- though I'm sure more adept programmers would have alot to say on that.
That is false. The government still has the burden of proof, although in some states it is quite low (preponderance of the evidence). That you need to appear in court does not mean you have the burden to prove your innocence.
Right, this feels like they inflated their TAM a whole lot.

They are a "luxury option" already today, so ... I'm not sure what they're replacing. If they truly are gonna take on public transportation, I'm not sure how they could stop governments from shutting them out.
The comment is in the format of the "Nobody:" meme, which can be unintuitive and isn't well-suited for a forum like HN:

None of the ad companies are going to publicly talk about that data. They might have seen a blip, but I doubt it was anything major. Firefox doesn't have the market share it once did either.

Huh?

In the vast majority of cases money is released within 2 weeks of a sale. The exceptions are if an account gets suspended, or if there's a sudden increase in sales and it's flagged, in which case they might hold it for another week or two.

The only time money is held for over a month is if the account was suspended and not reinstated by then.
I'm in Seattle too, and NextDoor is mostly frivolous racist complaints. Last time I used it, a bunch of angry white men were planning to "get their baseball bats" to "deal with" a homeless guy they suspected of breaking their car windows. (After the cops told them that they reviewed the camera footage and didn't think it was that guy).

I, too, have friends in Seattle, and none of them have had any of the experiences you describe happen to them. I go downtown daily for work for years, and have seen poop about three times, and discarded needles about the same number.

The reason you don't like being called a NIMBY is because it's accurate.

I disagree. It may be a convenient narrative for those who want to lock down computers, even on the desktop, but remember that our desktop computers have had intelligent agents capable of committing crimes for decades, and it hasn't been a big problem all things considered. Of course, by "intelligent agent" I'm referring to the animal that operates the computer by pushing buttons.

If machine learning and other advanced AI produces sophisticated programs capable of assisting in these crimes, or of performing the crimes automatically, how will that change anything? The human pushing buttons committed a crime and got caught, the advanced AI committed a crime and got caught, what's the difference? Either way the person responsible for the computer is punished.

Of course, if computers reach super-human intelligence, then all bets are off, and having access to general purpose computers might be the least of our concerns.
It’s been a while since I’ve been writing Go, but wasn’t that nominally what the Context objects were supposed to be for? I think they were introduced a bit late in the game, but APIs that supported them handled cancellation well (if I’m remembering right)
Jesus, guy.
I think that's just an artifact of the fact that not nearly as much effort has been expended on 2D graphics as 3D. In fact, I've become convinced through my Pathfinder work that the GPU is just as good as the CPU for 2D vector graphics. It's just that our 2D rendering stacks are way behind.

(As an aside, I think this state of affairs is unfortunate, given how much money there is in mobile apps and browsers and the like. The vast majority of the research goes to 3D, and 3D is flashier and prettier work in a sense, but the amount of time we spend reading text on a screen generally dwarfs the amount of time people spend consuming 3D CG entertainment...)

The implicit form is what's used when rasterizing, because we have the opposite problem: we don't care about the value of a specific bezier function at specific time t, we care about whether the pixel at location x,y is on inside the path created by a number of bezier segments (but it's even more complicated, because of winding order). That can't be solved with the parametric form alone.
No, the point is control. You have no idea what I need.
The checker just has to have roots tracing to timestamping CAs.

I really don't understand why Mozilla designed their system like they did. Code signing is well known and probably even done for the Windows installer of Firefox, why did they just not duplicate the model? Checking expiration vs current time makes absolutely no sense for code signing, esp. at runtime (it could kind-of sort-of make a little bit of sense at install time, but I'm not really convinced, and maybe it is even not really possible to distinguish between the two with an effective boundary)
Nobody's proposing "just a few years". Both Musk and Bezos have grand visions that require difficult, complex technical and financial problems to be solved.

First up is lowering the cost of escape velocity such that "casual" flights are financially feasible. This includes reusable components, a very low failure rate, and an ecosystem of employees, engineers, and culture that supports it.

If M/B achieves their stated goals in this domain, then the next steps can be practically executed.
I think as a user if you have to think about the computational aspects of a query you're doing something wrong.

From a declarative sense datalog is much more concise than SQL. Depending on how you want to think about it, it also subsumes sparql.

The datalog compilers we're working on in our group create very efficient code and the evaluation strategy sometimes is far from what you would think of by looking at the query.

But since the result is defined as the minimal herbrandt model/fixpoint of the Tp operator you don't think about computation because you don't have to.
Blue Origin is somewhat like the Waymo of space tech. They'll continue plodding methodically, indefinitely. And you can bet their safety/reliability record will be nigh near perfect.

Yes, Waymo is the market leader in self-driving technology (unlike Blue Origin). And there's currently no analogue to SpaceX in the self-driving car market. The incredible, complementary leadership duo that Musk and Shotwell present is unparalleled in both markets.
A meme is a unit of cultural transmission. At some point long ago, humans did not have these behaviors, they were not innate, they were learned and continuously passed on to the present day.

I think from a developer perspective this is pretty misleading because all the "new" stuff in Windows development is just repackagings of UWP subsystems to work with Win32 apps. WinUI is the UWP UI stack, MSIX is the UWP package format, etc.

So even if they aren't really pushing the UWP "brand" anymore, if you have a UWP app you are already using all of the "new" stuff.

The idea that "an ordinary Jane or Joe" would want to use GIMP is laughable.

When a raving Linux evangelist publishes a fawning article about how it's actually a "good thing" that GIMP has lost its User eXperience (UX) maintainer, is that really a sign that GIMP is finally on the right track for "an ordinary Jane or Joe" to easily use?

>The GIMP's bad news could be good news

>The GIMP has lost its User eXperience (UX) maintainer. Jack Wallen thinks this could be good news for one of the most powerful open-source image editing tools.

>This month, the GIMP lost its User eXperience (UX) maintainer. This is important. Why? Because, over all, the UX of Gimp has always had a very bad rap. People don't like it. I should preface this by saying 99% of the graphics that I do are done in GIMP (all of my TechRepublic images, all my book covers... everything). I've always been a big fan of the platform. That being said, it can't be denied that an overwhelming majority of people do not find the GIMP experience to be positive.

I love this spit-take worthy quote, showcasing the author's extreme case of Stockholm Syndrome:

>"GIMP is really just a proper UX maintainer away from graphic design domination"

Look out Photoshop! As soon as GIMP finally finds that one proper UX maintainer with infinite patience and leadership abilities and free time (and a trust fund to live off of), who manages to convince all the GIMP developers working for free on their own time to stop bickering and fucking around and for the first time in history drop the pet projects they're doing and follow the UX genius's innovative new directions and disruptive sweeping designs to make GIMP easy to use, Adobe's doooooooomed I tell you!
Sadly we have several cities chomping at the bit to BECOME the next Silicon Valley. There's little regard to exactly what that means.
For single-family homes (or individual units in a multi-family property, e.g. individual condos), those rules would be a welcome addition. For commercial/industrial properties or apartment buildings/complexes, however, this would throw a massive wrench in things and cause a lot more problems than it'd solve.
I know, I've used AR.
It's probably a close call. AFAIK analog oscilloscopes were used in X-Y mode as a form of vector monitors in about the same time (end of 50s), but plotters are probably a few years older.

Heh, yeah... I saw my first “embedded Java” project 2 years ago and it was pretty horrifying. To add insult to injury, it was on a legacy ARM processor and Oracle had stopped providing new JREs for it. Pretty rough spot to be in; the product was 10 years old, and probably had another 10 years of life in it, but development was stuck at a bit of a dead end. It was also based on GWT...

Edit: if I’m remembering right, that was the worst part of it. They couldn’t upgrade GWT because they couldn’t upgrade the JRE.
Those silly legislators. Trying to pass laws to solve problems.
Having a good idea is only one piece of the puzzle. You need to be able to recruit talented employees and advisors. If someone is unable to network so that they can get access to these "millionaires" that's a pretty strong signal that they will probably be bad at recruiting talented employees and advisors.

Basically, the lack of a network that includes millionaires that could fund their idea is a signal telling me to be cautious about investing in someone and their idea.
> According to a study commissioned by the altruistic insurance website and reported by USA Today, the average American spends nearly $1,500 a month on “nonessential items” such as takeout or delivery, gym memberships, rideshares and “buying lunch”.

You can spend $10+ a day buying a prepared lunch, or make it yourself for a tenth of that.

There's food, and then there's "food."

Wow, that's really cool. I feel like DiffEq is one of those libraries that seems to leverage every one of Julia's cool features that I can think of.

Making differential equations 'just work' on a GPU is super cool. I feel like if this were almost any other language, it'd be impossible to get this level of code-reuse where a user can just bring their own differential equation that may not even know about GPUs and then have the differential equation library solve it on the GPU by just giving a GPUarray as the initial condition.

No, it's not the one domain. “Innocent until proven guilty” applies only in criminal law (neither “innocent” nor “guilty” even applies outside of the domain of criminal law, much less that maxim about the relation between them.)

The only thing I would add to clarify money transmission as "transmitting value that substitutes for currency" is that exchanging funds for goods (normal commerce e.g. buying a coffee with credit card / cash / apple pay / stablecoin) is probably not considered money transmission. But I'm not your lawyer.

Hi abbadadda, I'm the hiring manager at ZeroCater (YC W11) and we're looking to grow our team in both Austin as well as San Francisco. We use Django and PostgreSQL for all of our backends.

We don't care about formal education -- instead we care about can you deliver while making reasonable choices and try to skew our interviews in that direction.

Feel free to apply through https://grnh.se/38c432bf1 or you can reach out to me directly (contact info in profile).

I know losing a job can be stressful (it happened to me a month before getting married) and I hope you find a good spot to land.
so... as I see it the argument is that simply allowing the features is a "flaw" in the design, since, essentially, companies can't be trusted to do the right thing?

As a tinker I'd like to install my own boot code, disable default features and all that (I do some of it already), I fear it's still far from the norm.

I guess "my" question is, what features am I missing and are there better ways to get them without being so intrusive?
Probably not. They probably know when most of their certs schedule but likely weren't monitoring this intermediate code signing cert (which is different than a TLS/webserver leaf/intermediate cert).

It seems super simple to do, but in practice IMO is harder than it seems. Most major cloud providers have been hit by at least one cert expiry causing an outage in the past year... Hell, likely in the past month.

This doesn't surprise me at all, certs are hard.

Hard to drop housing prices when despite internal negative net migration, you are still growing in population.
Only if constant growth is always good.

Every step of that has side effects that people may not like.

Nobody talks like this about traffic. More lanes, same slow traffic speed. Yep, that's newly satisfied demand. It's also widely considered undesirable and self-defeating.

It's not irrational to think that slowing down or distributing the growth elsewhere - geographically - would be preferred.
I'm glad to see they offer point-in-time recovery right of the gate. Its still galling to me that Google Cloud SQL doesn't offer that for Postgres. DO has really come a long way in terms of features. I can't speak to execution and reliability but the features + pricing alone is definitely enough to keep me interested, and I think it can probably make some really cool side projects work that otherwise wouldn't in terms of hosting cost.
Some people choose not to live in the Bay Area (or SF specifically) because prices are too high. Or they choose to live with more people per unit of housing because of pricing.

It’s hard to think about Wolfram. His tone is so off-putting — he’s constantly discovering the glorious and singular capabilities of his own products — but for instance he did basically invent the now-ubiquitous idea of the computational notebook.

Do you have evidence to back up your claim that NextDoor is mostly frivolous racist complaints? How did you determine either “frivolous” or “racist” in each instance? Did you investigate and verify or invalidate each of the reports to arrive at a strongly-backed understanding that they were frivolous? Did you somehow determine that race played a major factor and not suspicious behavior? I’m betting you don’t have any such data nor any legitimate way to make those determinations.
