I know about nouveau and respect its developers so much. Trying to make it work despite an active resistance from NVIDIA itself - it requires some patience and rigor. The stance on providing firmwares to the project is ridiculous. I believe, NVIDIA invented the whole signing feature just to undermine nouveau efforts, using security just as a pretext (as many vendors do).

Its likely a network problem causing large jitter buffers (see my other comment). Buying Polycom won't solve this problem, unless the jitter buffer is in adaptive mode and its wildly overestimating the jitter (a problem I've seen on Polycoms and Grandstreams before).
Ask HN: Examples of 'hand drawn' animations in blog posts?
I want to write articles. They have technical content, so they benefit from explanatory diagrams.

I don't want to use formal diagramming tools to make the diagrams, I want to draw them instead.

Does anyone know of any tasteful examples where people use digital drawing tools to do this?
I think that largely depends on who's in power over the next decade or two.
I guess first party isolation isn't supported? (yet?) about:config loads a blank page.
Looks like one of a series of joke NPM packages popularized after the left-pad fiasco.
Thanks for teaching me this after all these decades!

Very kind of you :)

If you run across an abandoned car in those washes do not investigate yourself. Report to the police.

Drug runners will drop cars off to be picked up and have some dude off in the distance watching the car. Getting nosey can get you shot.
Combine it with Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) and you're left with a very small subset of decent journalism.
In Europe it's usually called Informatics, even in some Universities in the UK i believe, but it's totally absent from US literature it seems.
>That is to say, it tracks where people drive, and when people drive in the same place often, it flags it as a common route and therefore must be a road!

do you know this to be true, or are you just guessing?
Isn't the idea that they can decide whether it's a user or a bot based on what the user does in general, not just whether their browser executes JS on this page that you want to protect?

Running headless chrome is trivial, so just having it sit on the one page where you need to check it won't help much. Collecting more data on the user's action on your site will provide a much clearer picture, much like a video from somebody walking through a store will help you make a decision about whether he's trying to steal something than a single picture of him standing at the check out.

This is a direct consequence of not paying for good data from a provider where they don't have street view coverage.
Buses are pretty big and don't care too much about weight. Surely you can slap on a battery big enough to power the bus all day.

Since the bus is already parked somewhere during the day, couldn't you charge it then? From what I've seen there's usually a gigantic parking lot somewhere in the city where all the buses go to sleep. Would the parking lot need to be much larger to accommodate charging stations? I assume it's already got a diesel pump of some sort to feed the buses since you don't exactly see city buses at normal gas stations.
I'm not a physicist, nor a philosopher, and certainly not a mathematician - so maybe what I'm going to write will seem both naive and probably wrong, but I'm doing it anyhow.

In this Quanta interview, Amanda Gefter writes:

"Leibniz argued (against Newton) that there’s no fixed backdrop to the universe, no “stuff” of space; space is just a handy way of describing relationships. This relational framework captured Smolin’s imagination, as did Leibniz’s enigmatic text The Monadology, in which Leibniz suggests that the world’s fundamental ingredient is the “monad,” a kind of atom of reality, with each monad representing a unique view of the whole universe. It’s a concept that informs Smolin’s latest work as he attempts to build reality out of viewpoints, each one a partial perspective on a dynamically evolving universe. A universe as seen from the inside."

For some reason, my mind went to the idea of "nodes and edges" of a graph; with the nodes being these "monads" and their relationships being the "edges", and then later in the interview...Smolin notes:

"The event has relations with the rest of the universe, and that set of relations constitutes its “view” of the universe. Rather than describing an isolated system in terms of things that are measured from the outside, we’re taking the universe as constituted of relations among events."

I don't know for sure if what I was thinking is the same thing as what he expresses here, but I think I might be close. Regardless, I now wonder something else:

Could the colloquial concept/idea of "6 degrees of separation" apply here? If so, what implications might that have for Smolin's theory?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation#Math...

I won't pretend to have any answers here (again, assuming anything I wrote above means anything)...
The fact that so much potentially sensitive data exists in a few repositories is in itself a bit foreboding. Who knows what companies will be able to glean from it one, five, or twenty years down the road?

My behavior on the web being tracked by corporations with little incentive to do right by me is worrisome.
>If you allow a page to specify a font, the page can tell whether you displayed that font or the fallback by looking at things like the size of a div containing a particular character.

Only because the relevant APIs choose to allow this. Javascript served from the website should not be able to read this kind of data including element sizes.

My browser should report a minimum of info such as viewport size and rendering engine, and if you (by this I mean the general "you") require more info then either you're a bad developer or your design needs to be rationalized.

Edit: and to the guy whose comment got flagkilled asking about how I want to solve the "problem" of breaking sites that rely on crutches like knowing the rendered size of an element, I say this:

I don't propose to fix the problem because it isn't a problem for anyone but advertisers, and fuck those people.
I'm sure he appeals to tech bros, but he's basically a one issue candidate, with nothing to suggest he can actually manage the job of being president. I mean, we've had a few presidents who have sold themselves as business guys who would bring business sensibility to the government, and they've been terrible presidents.
It's not a web joke. It's someone playing around with npm and github.
Sure. Agreed. HN needs better discourse.

Is there a “Delete Account” feature here? How do I go about deleting my account, including ALL my comments/submissions over the last 10 years.

I want to leave absolutely ZERO footprint on HN. As if I was never ever here. How do I make it happen?

Thank you.
I think that's the biggest issue: these devices intend to remove every moment of contemplation and critical thought we might otherwise employ to pull ourselves out of the desperately worsening situation we face. At least the television stayed in your living room and you were compelled to leave that room and interact with people in order to remain a living person. Now we just carry the TV around with us and it's more addictive than ever.
Conversely, I can palm a basketball and used to own an SE. I had to use a version of swype to even be able to text because doing that fine of a motion over and over again with my phone make my thumb hurt.

I've switched to an essential phone which I find to be a better size for a one handed phone for myself.

I also hated the SE because I found it to be super buggy at the time with the iOS upgrade and it was too small to be used effectively as a GPS and awful compared to slightly bigger phones(think standard iPhone size now, i guess) for media consumption.

I am a light user of a phone for someone my age(mid twenties). Phone use is texting, gps, occasional HN and reddit, and occasional discord and youtube.

My girlfriend on the other hand has tiny hands and would benefit from a phone the size of an SE, but she's constantly consuming youtube, instagram, pintrest, and other things that rely on media and images that I think are much more suited to a bigger screen despite the need to two hand the phone.
Do you think it was odd that in Star Wars, Obi Wan Kenobi said, "Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force"? Is this any different?

https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/reCAPTCHA/in...

Yeah, no. It certainly can read non-google cookies on the page (not httpOnly cookies, though).
There are many easy to use libraries specific to different languages(like https://www.phpcaptcha.org/ for php) and frameworks. These are not as secure as recaptcha, but in most cases does the trick.
There are also services similar to recaptcha like solve media and hcaptcha. I believe hcaptcha is a drop-in replacement(https://hcaptcha.com/docs).
Given that perception is a material process in-and-of the universe itself, it all gets a bit circular.
A GPS app is not just a convenience, but a fantastic convenience in a major metro area like Los Angeles where good routing through traffic conditions can save a half hour or more.

But even here, where you'd think the map coverage would be near strongest, I've occasionally had an app attempt to route me down a private drive or a fire road. In fact, if you look for hiking trailheads frequently enough, I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen to you.

That's a class of cases where I'd hope most users are keeping their head about them as they travel; hiking as recreation requires that of its participants.

Still, edge cases matter, and the closer we get to a world of autonomous vehicles, they matter more.

> "in countries where the laws don't matter"

Race-to-the-bottom thinking, poor ethical reasoning, and just an excuse to engage in behavior frowned upon by the community.

> "In case of emergency it would be allowed to make financial transactions and/or send encrypted messages."

HAHAH no. "Emergency" is clearly defined and doesn't mean "can't reach my ATM". Executing your bitcoin transaction does not save life or limb.
I think your comment that politicians "better conform to Twitter's code of conduct!" if they want to use Twitter is a perfect summary of the underlying philosophy here. A system where you have bored teens posting alongside the POTUS, desirability aside, is very difficult to regulate. All this move amounts to is a statement that if you can't make your point without breaking the Twitter rules, it belongs somewhere other than Twitter.

In my own opinion, it is hugely irresponsible for a business like Twitter to give politicians a platform in the first place. If this is a move away (*s/toward/away) from that, by hindering usefulness of Twitter as a campaign tool, I'm completely in favor of that.

ps: TASC don't have any influence on which posts are considered rule-breaking, only on which are considered noteworthy enough to stay up. So they have no influence on "throttling" any tweets, only on saving ones which would otherwise be deleted.
Leonardo Chiariglione also said "AOM will certainly give much needed stability to the video codec market but this will come at the cost of reduced if not entirely halted technical progress. "

which is a very real concern. (a bit tired arguing with people defending Google's contraption vs a codec with innovation from dozens of companies)
Money isn't a fix all for AEC, frankly Google's WebRTC AEC is the best commercially available AEC. You can see it in action when on a call over Signal Private Messenger, it knocks out background noise (eg: loud car noises if your walking down the street) like a champ.
Fine. ship it off. This is not a valid excuse.

What's the difference of shipping a feature off, and shipping with support for an extension (on both firefox and Google's chrome store sites!) that can be installed? At this point we are just discussing semantics. Install vs Turn on.
No - being seduced by power makes sense. Being "seduced to write a book" is odd.
A government agency with good technology? lol
I'm not sure I understand correctly. Are you saying that all the personal user data is in reality not as valuable as everyone says it is? That is, all those megacorps are collecting terabytes of mostly useless data?

Then why is this data collected and archived in the first place?
This is one of the reasons I like to share this quote. Even the godfather of the welfare state was aware of the negative consequences of sustained welfare. That's an order of magnitude greater awareness of the unintended consequences of these policies that people pushing these policies today understand. It's good to show them that even their welfare state idol was aware that welfare is not some unassailable panacea.
Tattle-tales? These are federal laws, not some personal guidelines we're talking about. Screwing with them not only lands you in trouble but all of ham radio, because the government is always looking for reasons to take away spectrum and sell it to the highest bidder. Radio spectrum is a finite resource, you can't make more of it. So expect hams to be cranky when people are fucking around and trying to ruin it for us.

Be thankful you only have to deal with irritated hams and not a team of Verizon lawyers.
I love that book as well as Making of Karateka (his previous game), I read both books for 5 times and each time when I started to have doubts about my decision to be indie developer (not doing games anymore) and when I started to think about finding a job after almost two decades without any success it did renew my energy to continue.

The book for me is about spirit of working on your own projects, about curiosity and passion on whatever you choose to pursuit.
I think that was the parent's point: humans will likely abandon carts more often if they need to solve a captcha to advance to the check out.
- Packages with mutually exclusive dependencies are troublesome in the RPM world

- yum/dnf take extraordinary amounts of time compared to apt

- debs are all in one source. Upstream sources are clean, predictable, and easy to troubleshoot.
"Broadcast" is defined as "transmissions for the consumption by the general public", at least in the US. Not one-way vs two-way.
I still have flashbacks from circa 2000-2002 being in "rpm hell" and trying to install a single package on my system, only to find out it needs libutemptr-3.0.1.rpm, where as my yahoo searches only found a download for libutemptr-3.0.2a.rpm. I try downloading that anyway, wait 20m on my dailup connection, only to find that libutemptr needs libgdkpixbuf-7-9.01.rpm. 50% of the time, one of these dependencies would clash with whatever was already on my system and refuse to install. 49% of the time, it wouldn't be the right version so it wouldn't work anyway. and 1% of the time I could eventually make it work if I just extracted the content and changed my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to satisfy the dependencies manually. eliding the very purpose of rpm.

rpm hell was the Dark Ages of FOSS, and I'm so glad that the community has resolved that problem. However, the bitter taste still lingers and for this reason I will never take rpm files seriously again.

Not really. Advanced users can selectively disable Javascript/frames/media etc on a per-site basis. Also the user has the control to allow trackers on site they care about and know the consequences.

I am sorry but tracking protection on mozilla as it is now (only enabled by default on private windows, and hapening with no user knowledge/information/learning oportunities) is a lame clutch.
There have been some rather weird price moves in some stocks relating to various congressional committees apparently tipping off people before the info was publicly released.

While I can't find it right now I recall studies that showed that the typical return on a Senator's investments was at least 11% greater than would be expected which is a data point to take into consideration.

I do agree it is all very interesting and will read more of his works when I have time.
The length of your cellphone horns will eventually determine your popularity.
As usual, I find the music in all of the linked videos delusional, as if this high-tech killing machine was created to astonish patriotic five-year-olds. For the sake of analogy, someone should overlay the same music to the engineering of a-bombs and gas chambers.
Context very much matters here, too. Not only was it Dijkstra’s particular vitriolic way of expressing himself, as another commenter noted, you have to keep in mind this was written 20 years ago by a man born in 1930 who was then almost 70. Admiral Hopper was dead by then, but, had she still been living, I personally think she might have gotten a laugh out of it.

Ya I've been taking a break from programming for a few months, doing recreational programming (like learning Unity) and remodeling our home. I also think that painting is uniquely therapeutic.

For anyone reading this, don't discount the physical. I realized lately that part of my burnout was chemical, so I've been taking:

* essential fatty acids (Nature's EFA)

* B 100 complex

* magnesium citrate before bed (Natural Calm)

* zinc

* iron (limit this to occasional small doses or it's dangerous)

I've also found that leafy green vegetables help, as well as walking a few times a week for 15-20 minutes.

I wasn't sure why I was so tired, so I searched the bodybuilding.com forums for advice since I lift. If you aren't sure what's ailing you, I would recommend taking all of the supplements you think might help for 1-2 weeks and then go back to your normal multivitamin or whatever and note any changes.

My gut feeling is that my omega 3s were way too low, and probably my electrolytes, and certainly I wasn't drinking enough water or sleeping properly. I got diagnosed with sleep apnea early in my burnout and wear Breathe Right strips but should have probably tried a CPAP machine.
But "strong privacy laws" don't prevent these documents from being created. It's idiots saving hard evidence of the crime, and no amount of legislation can teach people to be better criminals.
+1. Privacy violations sure do cause damages, they're just very difficult to attribute. When someone suffers identity theft, which ones of the dozens of leaking sieves with their data most enabled it?
Yes! We very much should, even if every interaction isn’t perfect or results in a slam dunk outcome.
That's a very good observation - you make uncorrelated premium features require also getting the larger screen, and then your sales numbers prove that there's a strong demand for large screen devices!
I hope they commission a project to build this completely indigenously to be built from scratch and set the scale requirements high enough to scale to 100million+ people in a single private organization along with stringent sufficiently future proof security requirements.

India has a very large base of software engineers, security researchers and local cloud builders that would love to contribute to such a project.
No, the Octave faq reads: "There are still a number of differences between Octave and Matlab, however in general differences between the two are considered as bugs. Octave might consider that the bug is in Matlab and do nothing about it, but generally functionality is almost identical." Octave doesn't (for good reason!) re-implement bugs found in Matlab meaning it doesn't and never will work exactly like Matlab.

Boeing's engineers weren't tasked with making MCAS generally work like a 737. They were tasked with making MCAS work exactly like a 30+ year old aircraft model, complete with quirks and faults. An impossible task.
When I just keep reloading, I get either 0.9 or 0.1. I get 0.1 more often. Interesting.

Maybe some browser extension can monitor the score and tell me what it currently is on each page load, when reCaptcha is used on some website. I'd just keep reloading, until it's good, and then try the captcha.
Exactly! Similar problem with wireless charging, too.
Does the logo the navy use for railguns show it shooting intercontinental?
Probably the downvotes are because of this sequence:

Statement: Disabled people aren't accustomed to flying by the seat of their pants, because it isn't feasible for them.

Response: Able bodied people die too.

Well yes, everyone knows that and it isn't relevant to what it's responding to.
Yes, although not when private browsing of course.
The nail is not gerrymandering itself, but the fact that gerrymandering came before the court and they declined to do anything about it, with the vote following a super-obvious partisan line. That does erode public trust, compared to yesterday when people might still have had hope that the court would advance the cause of equal representation.
I wanted to contribute in the backend project ...but when I opened the project..the basic coding standards are missing..i know this is open source and can be fixed but all over the files i see commentated code the logging is out of place... I work in a Big European bank so maybe i was hoping for a more matured code but this code needs a fresh look...

Appreciate your efforts and thus some pointers to start:
1. Add liquibase into your project.
2. Add logging into a project.
3. Use Spring Boot if possible
4. Use an ORM framework like JOOQ may be?

Have a look at Jhipster, they are pretty good with their bootstrap projects.
The alternative is to not selectively enforce the rules. I didn't even mention anything about censorship.

Yup. Even though in Firefox Android 'regular' that's at the same page, as you noted it's not always that fast, especially for low end phones. But with this new Firefox Preview even the Plus button is not at the same 'position', and the new page opening up with animation takes even more time.
