It's not just the school system. I don't dare so much as flirt with anyone in a friendly way, because that becomes fuel for a possible case. It really is to the point where outside of group settings, nothing should ever be done with the opposite sex outside of marriage itself. Whatever women's lib was trying to achieve, it begins to look more and more like Islamization daily. Not to say I hate either, but it seems they used to be opposite goal sets, but slowly they are evolving back to be one and the same. I want women to have rights, but anything where an accusation becomes instantly proof seems to throw us back towards older times of isolation.

Beating Instagram Algorithms with This App
I haven’t seen the actual code they’re discussing in this article, but the interesting part isn’t that this was done on a system with very little RAM. From the sound of things, it works like a finite state machine. You can represent a whole lot of possible states with 128 bytes of RAM. Like, an astrologically large number of states - 2^1024, to be exact. The ability to work within the Atari’s memory constraints isn’t what’s so interesting about this algorithm, it’s that the lookup table driving the algorithm is inscrutable.

As much as I love VLC, them blowing off the lack of UI polish is why I have a love/hate relationship with it. For instance, VLC still forces you to kill the process when it can't find all of the files in a playlist (if you deleted them from your desktop). When you restart the app, if you hit play you will have the same problem. This happens to me all the time. It's a shame because it would not take much to address all of the nitpick issues I have with it, but there seems to be no interest.

Description of my life. I was telling people for years what is going on, not from position of daydreaming, but what I would be able to pull off. I got back everything from tin foil hat to "I have nothing to hide". Snowden changed that and I am gratefull to him for exactly that...

And for one more sentance, that is a work of pure genius: “Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” <3

And how the world is changing, from GDPR to California privacy law... I would just love to shake hand to this guy.
The recent Emmy awards are evidence that old school broadcast/cable tv with commercials is dying quickly. Most of the popular categories were dominated by streaming, commercial free shows. Hopefully this nonsense is part of the final death throes.

I do remember, though, that US cable was originally mostly commercial free, and the streaming services are already starting down that path in a few areas. Sigh.

Facts are not deleted, you can ask for a criminal record.

If you mean that Googling a name and finding an accusation as a fact then think again, many such accusation are exaggerated or false. Also keep in mind that people share the same name and it happens that they live in close proximity (they may be related) so you may get your "facts" wrong when googling me but finding out that my cousin was in a fight 20 years ago or had an unpopular opinion back then.
Rabois has suggested multiple times that one bull case for them is that the company becomes almost too big to fail. They'd be so large that even in an economic downturn they'd have the power to renegotiate lower rents with the commercial property owners.
Voters should have a say under proportional representation. Holding a general election under First Past the Post would likely hand the government to a faction with minority support. I don't mean this to be partisan or pro-/anti-Brexit, but FPTP typically doesn't settle issues and increasingly doesn't provide good government in the UK.

FPTP typically overrepresents some parties at the cost of others (and at the cost of voters). Politicians might want an election when they believe they will be more overrepresented afterwards than before. That's why it's no surprise for the opposition to suddenly stop wanting an election when the government begins to want one.
In Microsoft Teams they do, but I find the availability status sometimes conflicts with what the Skype for business app says.
Current limitations of English centric software language parsing means it's annoying to type machine generated or parseable text in Finnish.

For example pinging people in Facebook comments doesn't work with correct Finnish.

English: "this would be useful to @Pekka"

Machine parseable but incorrect Finnish: "tämä olisi hyödyllistä @Pekka :lle"

It would probably be possible to make a library to understand the transformed forms of words.
I spent a lot of time in v0.2 building Talos for ARM, and it works, but there is a good amount of work to be done to make it official. We need to setup ARM nodes to run our builds from, and refactor our build logic to account for multiple architectures. There is also a bit of work to be done around the boot loader logic since we use syslinux. We are close, just needs a little push.
I looked at the DCMA takedowns and they were all for either license files, or encryption keys. I'm not sure what you expect a company that sells software to do in these circumstances. This very different from the sort of reverse engineering that e.g. project X-Ray is doing.

This sounds a lot like "nobody will ever need more than 640k of ram" quote attributed to - but denied by - Billy Gates.

"The MacBook doesn't need to be thinner": The MacBook doesn't need to exist either, but I think as technology improves and things are lighter and more power efficient, the smaller the footprint will be (size and weight).

I can see the argument against a decision to shrink it down 0.001m - which is only a 6% reduction in thickness (0.001/0.0149), but if it was a 0.49m reduction, bringing it down to a thickness of 1cm, would you still hold that same opinion?

Taking this to levels of science fiction - I would love a laptop so thin you can fold it like a piece of paper and place it in your pocket. I don't need any ports if all my data is always available in some "cloud" that my laptop has free and instant access to. So thin and cheap, if I dirty it I can crumble it, toss it in recycle, and just rip open a brand new one.
Is AI Important in Software Test Automation?
2019 [reality]: peripherals use USB, USB-C, HDMI, 3.5mm audio.

- Apple: you get USB-C and a bucketful of dongles.

- Others: we'll make machines with all those ports.

2024 [the dream is realized]: peripherals use USB-C exclusively.

- Apple: We were right about USB-C. To congratulate ourselves, let's introduce USB-NeXT (incompatible with USB-C).

- Others: Your old machines still work. New machines just have USB-C.

2024 [darkest timeline]: peripherals never converge on USB-C.

- Apple: USB-C isn't converging. Let's introduce USB-NeXT (incompatible with USB-C).

- Others: Your old machines still work. We'll continue making machines with all those ports.
> but tapes are smaller than disks

Tapes are also physically smaller, therfore their capacity per volume is better than for HDDs. Two LTO Ultrium catridges have about the same volume as a 3.5" HDDs, so you have 24 TB in the same space as a 14 TB HDD.

Moreover, the HDDs are much heavier. You can easily carry a suitcase with 20 tape cartridges, i.e. with 240 TB.

If you would carry a suitcase with 17 HDDs (238 TB), that would be around 14 kg (around 31 lbs). Possible but not at all comfortable.
I love this hypothesis because not only does it fit in perfectly with my world view of Google, but because it’s entirely plausible to consider how their algorithm could inadvertently optimize for such a result simply by looking at click through and bounce rates.

People are likely to click on the most sensational result on the page, and in cases like this they are pretty damn sure going to pick a different search query afterward, which to the algorithm will look like success.

It seems like something easy to study and prove to a high degree of confidence if it is occurring. Particularly the theory that other search engines don’t surface the same negative content, or don’t rank it as highly.

> Typically you'd use an fpga as a dev tool to design an asic or maybe even use the fpga outright if it's fast enough at your task to make it worthwhile.

No way. FPGA's are extremely useful for low volume alternative to asics or tasks where the logic may have to change according to end use cases. They are found everywhere you need a quick bit of complex logic and don't want an asic or need some extreme form of flexibility.
> For this specific feature, on LineageOS, you can restore home screen rotation. I don't really understand why it's off by default though, it's confusing to have apps rotate but not the home screen.

I think it is either because iOS doesn't rotate the home screen on phones, or because they introduced this simplified car interface that did rotate, and they wanted to differentiate. But like so many design choices, it was not due to technical reasons, but marketing or political reasons.

It's funny, when I used Windows 10 for the first time recently, Ubuntu's unintuitive lock screen finally made sense, since they copied it. Whenever open source software starts doing something strange with their interface, I only have to look at proprietary software to see what interface they cargo-culted, going back to Pidgin copying iChat. I would love to see the discussions where they make these decisions. I imagine someone bursting into a meeting "You guys, Microsoft did a thing with their interface, we have to put everything else on hold to copy them!"

I'm not at all an Apple fan but have certainly handled and used Apple hardware lots of times, and every time I need to pick up or otherwise handle a MacBook, it feels very weird and uncomfortable. They look nice, but the thinness and sharp edges combined with smooth metal both makes me scared that my hands will slip, yet the sharpness provokes a natural aversion to holding it firmly. I have a metal-bodied Thinkpad but it doesn't feel as uncomfortable to hold. I wonder if anyone else has this experience.
Unfortunately not, ended a few years ago and the money was repurposed I assume for other ventures.
I guess its hard to keep that price going, you need skilled people (like Randi) that knows the usual tricks.

I don't see any evidence of alleged DOM-bashing in Mario's slides?

In fact, rather than bash the DOM, Mario wants the DOM to subsume his own DOMPurify project, rather than have users trust him as a third-party module developer. I think that paints the DOM in a favorable light if you ask me.
"Around here it's illegal to google applicants without their consent."

OK, so, this is me talking.

This is an old interview that resurfaces lately (no idea why), and it was done by a HR company, and they did a lot of cuts. So, it is far from being technically accurate, and some parts are quite weird.

Clearly not for the HN crowd, tbh.

I dislike those kind of interviews, because they focus on one person (people-isation trend that we see also in startups) while VLC was done by a collective.
It is sure that I'm the person that spent the most time on VLC and other VideoLAN projects than anyone else, but the work is a collective one.

Good, you will be happy to know that we're redoing the UI for 4.0, to fix UX issues. And the issue you mentioned is fixed in last version and better fixed in 4.0.

That is totally not true. We listen a lot to user feedback, but we are understaffed compared to the project size. It is getting better, and the biggest issues (like the one you mentioned) are all getting fixed.

In C99 you can sort-of get named optional parameters via designated-initialization, e.g. if a function takes a a struct "person_t" by value you can write:

my_func((person_t){ .name = "John Doe", .age = 33 });

...by-pointer also works:

my_func(&(person_t){ .name = "John Doe", .age = 33 });

Any struct items which are not assigned a value will be zero-initialized (I wish it would be possible to define default-values in the struct declaration though).

I question the value of bringing OO principles into plain C though ;)
I don't know how generally true this is of people who like tiling WMs, but for me: a lot of it is about (easily) maximising the use of the screen, and (quickly and easily) moving windows to where I want them to be via the keyboard. I always found managing windows with the mouse to be (comparatively) tedious and slow, which led me fairly naturally to tiling WMs.

These days I'm on macOS not linux but my desire for that kind of control and speed remains; fortunately tools like BetterTouchTool enable this really nicely, and I get the best of both worlds: nice mouse-driven control when I want it, and a quick/easy way to throw a window where I want it the rest of the time (i.e. most of the time).

(I'd also say, addressing the parenthesised part of your first question, that for me, this isn't just about dev - this is a general preference; for some tools, e.g. the GIMP, tiling's a bad fit and the mouse is where it's at, but in general, if I can keyboard it, I will.)

And why wouldn't it? Tapes as far as I know cost pennies to manufacture. It's easily over 90% plastic in most cases. The low quality ingredient on a low end tape is probably still ferric oxide - not exactly an expensive chemical if I know anything about chemistry. Perhaps cobalt is still heavily used as part of the coating as well.
Same. I kind of miss my old work and company but I just make so much more money over here.

> Falling, even in their own house, then remaining immobile and unable to call for help is a common cause of huge problems

That's been a solved problem for years though. As your link points out, LifeAlert bracelets (and similar technologies) have had fall detection for quite some time now. The new thing that Apple (and Garmin) have brought to the table is pairing that will a cell radio.

Given the other benefits of a LifeAlert bracelet (or pendant), I'm not sure the Apple Watch is a major improvement (especially for someone with failing eyesight).

> What do these do. Why are they adding an alternative gettime implementation for MacOS? Why are they patching a bunch of test files to make them pass?

The gettime patch is to support macOS SDK < 10.12, as it says in the patch itself. From a quick look, some of the test patches appear to be for Python 2 compatibility. Every linux distribution and system integrator has a patch list just like that for complicated software. If a particular patch concerns you, I would suggest opening an issue on their bug tracker to ask for an explanation.

> It's unfortunately one we ran into recently while migrating a legacy system off conda, but it's not the first and I doubt it will be the last.

Unclear what that has to do with conda. The same package is available on PyPI (source only), and the line you highlighted almost certainly exists for some other build target than conda, where the compilers will automatically find numpy includes in CONDA_PREFIX without any extra effort.
I feel like at this point the term "Moore's law" has degraded so much as to mean "things will get better at a pretty fast rate"
