Your last comment is confusing given we're discussing, specifically, iOS and iPadOS, not Windows. Further, I have no idea what any of this has to do with "better". I was very specifically focused on OS differences as identified by names and version numbers.

To be clear, iPadOS is not the same as "iOS 13 for iPad", whatever that might mean. iPadOS comes chronologically after iOS 12 but that's about it.

iPadOS has distinct code, features, and APIs not available on iOS. Period.

Saying iPadOS is "iOS 13 for iPad" makes no sense except in the most superficial sense that it comes chronologically after iOS 12.

EDIT: scare quote iOS 13 for iPad.
So, _that's_ what they meant by, "think different".

Setting/measuring what's considered harmful is (or should be) society's job (with the help of journalism).

I don't see it very critical when society puts pressure on an organization to fire a high-profile leader (and decision maker!) who publicly does something harmful. But I do acknowledge that this could generate a dangerous dynamic if spun in the wrong direction. It's a tradeoff: Either you allow cancel culture or you allow bad actors in powerful/influental positions.

Based on the article that is linked above, its origin seems to come from laws preventing map/navigational data being exported due to national security (South Korea is technically still at war with North Korea, as the Korean War only ended with an armistice/cease-fire). The article then states how the non-Korean perspective may view this as South Korea utilizing these laws to push a protectionist policy, helping South Korean tech companies to compete with big tech.
It is not obviously better to value ethics over family and community. I certainly wouldn't blame someone for putting their family's wellbeing (deportation can be traumatic) over quitting a place that's doing unethical things.
It doesn’t require much memory to shuffle, essentially just an integer permutation generator and possibly an index of block pointers. You could store the latter in the NV storage. This assumes no storable “playlist” at all. If you have playlists then shuffle is trivial.
I agree, but when the alternative is $0 I’m more price sensitive.
Where I live, revenue from fares makes up ~11% of the total. (The largest chunk of revenue is from local sales tax.) Making transit cheaper would be relatively painless and highly effective: we have a 'free fare day' every year where 25-65% more people board a bus or train than on regular days. A new frequent bus service connecting train stations and major destinations sees as many boardings as existing light rail; it is free to ride.

A small sales tax hike is palatable to enough people that it is politically viable, whereas a $2.50 fare every time you board a bus or train makes more people not ride transit who otherwise might.
say you want to try adding two features, which don't you think interact with each other, e.g. a change to the "pick this room button" and a change to the checkout flow. then, you can randomly assign users to two experiments, independently. your t-test results should then be valid if the two features are independent.
We looked into this with a completely open toolchain [0]. You could email either of the two first authors to get the code (not sure why it wasn't in the paper supporting information).

Building open carbon models isn't difficult, it's the input data that normally require licenses. I have built an open source life cycle assessment (LCA) software which has some traction [1], and there are alternatives for LCA [2] and integrated assessment models [3, 4]. However, data availability, especially on the level of completeness and detail you need to answer a specific question like carbon performance of a structure over a given period of time is a challenge. We are working on building a large open database to answer these kinds of questions[5], and Hacker News readers are welcome. Happy to chat via email if you want more info!

This may be how it is implemented, but it may not be what the user wants. The user may just want to send "image of X", where X may be something that was not predefined by some company or standards-committee, or it may be something that some company or government does not want the user to send.
Thats a fair rebuttal. I suppose the crux of the matter is the strength of relations between two countries when making the decision to purchase software from a foreign company.
As someone who has lived in Amsterdam for a few years, and have several friends who were very bike adverse when they moved here, everyone ends up biking. It’s very convenient, safe, and enjoyable here, and you can get electric bikes or electric scooters to help if you bike long distances frequently (or just don’t want to bike).

With weather apps that give you the rainfall down to a few minutes, you can escape the weather by either biking in the lulls, participating in a e-bike scooter sharing system, or falling back on public transport when you need.

Very rarely can you get someone faster by driving than you could by biking or public transport (at least according to google maps) so long as you live within the ring. Outside of that I don’t think cars are going anywhere, and there is ample parking near the major public transport hubs. I know plenty of people who park there and take a quick train or metro to their work and don’t complain about the hassle.

It’s a different way of living and I miss driving sometimes but it’s really nice once you acclimate!
> Suppose you want to pick an integer at random in a set of N elements.

Furthermore, suppose the distribution has to be even. Then, you do not want the modulo N in any shape or form, unless the modulus is a factor of the range of the random number source.

What you do is find the smallest power of P, such that N < P. Then you reduce the input numbers using mod P; which is a fast bitwise AND operation against (P - 1).

Then, you reject values which are >= N; you get another random number R and try again, until R & (P - 1) lands in the [0, N) range.

> Suppose you have a hash table with a capacity N. Again, you need to transform your hash values (typically 32-bit or 64-bit integers) down to an index no larger than N.

I wouldn't have such a thing where N isn't a power of two.

Non-power-of-two moduli in hash tables are only useful in the open addressing technique, where all entries are stored in the table itself, rather than in chains emanating from the table. Open addressing resolves collisions by probing for alternate locations in the hash table. If the modulus is a prime number under open addressing, then if quadratic probing is used:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_probing

it will have the property of visiting all the table locations. That is to say, the quadratic probes modulo a prime N generate a sequence of unique table entries before repeating. This guarantees that a place will be found for any new key even if the table has just one slot left.

No, I wouldn’t expect that at all.

Audits are often driven by the type of deduction. Some are hard to get fraudulently (401k deduction) while others are easier (rental income).

A guy pulling in $500k in salary probably shouldn’t be audited, but someone pulling in $20k in adjusted rental income might need to be.
Would be really keen to hear you speak about the subject in greater detail actually. Love having to balance the practicalities of implementing a model in production and validating the outcome while not missing out on utility.

> Once deployed, beyond the immediate business benefit they often go on to become a foundation for further product development.

This is one of the reasons I am a big believer in having a system to track model research and deployment lineage. (I personally use Domino Data Lab for this. I also work for Domino, but use it in my own modeling work and that of others I mentor.) No matter which system you use to track lineage, I've found it important to have a strict history of retraining, versioning, and experimentation. When models are used in downstream systems from the one they were originally intended, it becomes even more critical to able to explain and reproduce the 'research' that led up to deployment.
> did a clean install

How do you do a clean install? Is this available from the recovery menu?
Of course not, it wouldn't be a "no, you can't request this pronoun".

It would be "sure, but mind you that I have no clue how to talk about you in non-English languages". And in some languages it's more than just the pronouns - for example, in some languages verbs may be declined according to a grammatical gender (a concept that almost doesn't exist in modern English and not really inferable from just "xir").
I'm not sure that I follow. You can sideload apps on iOS. Is the issue that you have to use a computer to do it?

I kinda like that requirement because it means that I'm technically capable enough to make a potentially system-breaking change. It's not as nice and friendly about it as macOS but I think it's a fair compromise.

Thanks for the mention! It's certainly not passive though (like I thought it was going to be when I started it lol), I'm working on it 40+ hours/week and just hired our first support engineer, Safwan. He used to work for Ubiquiti support for 2 years before he joined this month. We've got over 25,000 Ubiquiti devices connected across ~600 servers. The daily work involves helping people with support questions, demos, migrations, testing UniFi updates, rolling them out to the servers, setting up SSL certs, and developing new features. We're working on a new website currently as well.
Honestly, I think you do.
My company has released several applications under GNU GPLv3 and AGPLv3 licenses, and is preparing to release more. We wouldn't have done this without rms.

That's the spin coming through. In a traditional pension plan, the company pays you a defined amount for your retirement. In a "defined contribution" plan, the employee pays for their own retirement (maybe some of what they pay gets matched).

I wonder if GIMP's servers are seeing an uptick in traffic?
Hell, you don’t even have to leave the US for this to happen. I live in New Orleans, where the street names are a mish-mash of English and French, with a sprinkling of Greek deities for flavor. While a lot of these names are mispronounced in common usage, Maps’ mispronunciations of these names are, as a rule, different mispronunciations than the ones that would come out of the mouth of a local.

It’s both hilarious and saddening, as I suspect a chance that the robo-mispronunciations might end up edging out the local ones over time.

This could be fixed by adding a field to every street name for “a series of phonemes that provide a close approximation of local pronunciation” and using that. But I doubt it ever will.
I suspect the OP disagrees that souls have infinite value, because they do not exist.

Just for fun, for more perspective on big data, a human body generates around 1-10M new cells per second, and a cell contains about 10-100GB of information. So a single human is generating 1-100PB/s of data just in the new cells! (Give or take a few OOM)

I neither wrote nor meant that those two experiences are equivalent. I specifically wrote that one can reasonably draw a conclusion like yours. What I did write is that both experiences are real -- and you denied even that in your earlier comments!

I'd also point out that your example is rather uncharitable. I personally do think Alice is quite justified in asking Bob not to use "he" as a pronoun, but I also think it's acceptable for Bob to prefer using a gender-neutral pronoun such as singular "they". If that had been the example (which it might well have been, especially given the context of this thread overall), your point would be quite a bit weaker, and you ought to feel quite a bit less righteous indignation. After all, if somebody has a problem because of non-neutral pronouns, it'd be rather reasonable to expect them to accept it when people contribute to reducing their use overall -- especially when that also helps to reduce the discomfort of those other people.

Anyway, thank you for acknowledging that other people's feelings exist. Maybe next time you can even use that reconciliatory language I've mentioned.

I am interested where this place you are talking about where cars are not expensive. Where I am in a smallish city, cars are a massive expense with the purchase cost, registration and insurance, fuel, maintenance and for a lot of people parking costs.
I'm the same! I like to plan things, so if something doesn't allow me to fit it into my plan easily I will discard it as not an option.

Unknown costs, talking to other people, negotiating; these things produce trace amounts of anxiety. Anxiety I'd rather not deal with. A simple Pricing page solves this.

I'd rather spend an hour googling your competitors than contact someone for a quote.

This executive order seems to be a passive aggressive way of declaring war against a country that has done nothing against the US directly. That said, I understand that adobe is a US company.

As an Aussie, I look at these international companies as that: international. Should I now start considering all forms of non Aussie software /tech a matter of potential infiltration?

I hope Adobe understand they are now complicit in an international fracas, where there's a lot of innocent people in Venezuela likely feeling an immediate financial crush, simply because the software they were using stopped. They can't work now. No money means they can't feed their kids.

They will blame Adobe for this, and not some executive order.

What about the day when some US order outlaws my country? This is a very sad day for international tech.

There is wild eyed optimism and admiration for EVs and anything self driving on HN. It's probably the demographic rather than any innate hatred of ICE vehicles. The enthusiasm for a loss of privacy and freedom of movement inherent in 'on demand' rented transport does disturb me though - the great joy of owning a vehicle is you can go wherever you want whenever you want.
This was addressed earlier in this subthread. It's not just an upgrade to 64-bit — they're also changing the low-level interfaces, and the new ones are apparently not well documented. So while it probably wasn't done on a lark, it doesn't sound like it was done in a very well considered manner either.

The Court was looking at whether screenings violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, and specifically at 245 of the Portal-to-Portal Act, which restricted the requirement to pay for pre/post work activity. I get two parts of the rationale, and it's bizarre, but I'm pretty sure the result is that even if Integrity fires you for not doing it, the work still doesn't have to be paid.

First, the Court found that performing screenings is not what employees are hired to do: they're not the point of the job, just a condition of employment. This is fairly obvious, but necessary to establish because someone who was paid to do screenings (e.g. as a physical security pen-tester) would obviously need to be paid for that.

Second, it found that those screenings are not "integral" to the job. This sounds odd for a required screening, but the context is specifically about the work of the job and not the terms of employment. Pre/post work like donning safety gear or a toolbelt is (legally or practically) necessary to complete the work, so past cases have found that it's effectively part of the labor and must be paid. This is also the context of the final holding: if Integrity could eliminate the screenings without affecting the workers' ability to pick and package goods, they must not be an intrinsic aspect of the job.

The Portal to Portal Act says that any labor which benefits the employer must be paid, while generally asserting that other pre/post work does not need to be paid, with commuting as a specific example of necessary-but-unpaid time. So "you'll get fired if you don't do it" isn't actually enough to qualify.

Perversely, the result of the act is that employers can't require unpaid, necessary tasks, but can require unpaid, unnecessary tasks. On one level, this makes sense: if putting on a toolbelt, wetsuit, or whatever else is necessary for the work, every employer will require it and failing to pay for that time is clearly harmful. But if an employer makes you recite a corporate chant before starting work, you can quit and go somewhere else. On another level, the contract system seriously distorts the logic: you can only be employed at that Amazon warehouse by fulfilling this restriction.

Ultimately, though, the court doesn't care about that. Congress passed a law which effectively says useless work time doesn't need to be paid, so this practice is legal. Which I believe holds all the way through the absurd case: if these screenings took 80 hours a week, they'd still be legal to not pay.
