I agree, what I was getting at was that requiring detailed information upfront is going to give you even less reports, so it is advisable to get the information you need afterwards as I explained here:

Again, this is meant to be a positive. It’s almost impossible for me to believe that you have been at a company for ten years, have established a reputation, have big successes and you are seen as just “a cog”. I still think you are underestimating yourself and how much the company values you - especially a private company. Any company that is willing to pay far above market rates must value their employees, if not, they would have made cost cutting moves a long time ago.

Also, just out of curiosity, what skillset do you think you’re lacking after 10 years?
The short answer is yes. The correct answer is emacs. I will continue to

ipsec is complex because it can be used in a LOT of situations.

can wireguard do tunnel state detection? Can i do a hub and spoke topology with wireguard? or auto-vpn?

ipsec is complex because it is mainly designed as a tunnel protocol with encryption. (site-to-site), compared to the "road warrior" setup wireguard seems more useful for.
Conversely, moiré patterns can be understood as a result of high spatial frequencies being folded to lower frequencies due to insufficient band limiting (provided by an optical low pass filter in front of the image sensor) and thus violating Shannon's principle. This isn't an accident, we simply prefer sharper images that possibly contain spatial aliasing over less sharp (i.e. less high frequency content) images that never contain spatial aliasing.

The reason why moiré patterns are generally colourful is because each pixel is not sampled at a point, but with the colors distributed over some area. Hence each color component of a pixel sees a slightly phase shifted component of the signal, i.e. it gets rainbowy. You would expect the moiré exhibited by a planar sensor like the Foveon X3 to show this effect to a lesser degree.
Visualizing these areas with an AR headset would be really useful
There are a few comments in this thread about how the page is able to determine if you're on a low-bandwidth connection and sends pictures instead of videos.

If anyone knows how this is achieved, I'd love to follow some links.
Yes, good vs bad shielding is what it all comes down to. Some examples I remember from my struggles in the past:

Working hard to remove duplicates is great, but frequent reports have to be signaled as urgent to the devs.

Then there is the tendency to only forward stuff that is somewhat reproducible, especially for unique reports. This makes entire classes harder to get through.

Sure I could find more... so yeah, many structural aspects of the job are set us up to break the link between customers and devs unless everyone is mindful.
I'm going to nitpick the title a bit. (Please downvote if inappropriate)

But this isn't evolutionary. It's a random sample of totally different takes on the same UI component. If scrollbars truly were designed in an evolutionary process, then all OS's would build upon the previous version and improve (or regress) from that. Or maybe I'm being too pedantic?
if you use a per project venv I see no reason not to use `pip install`. if you don't use a per project venv, well, do that!
The barrier is only affective against burrowing, but termites don't start new colonies by burrowing. They swarm (usually once annually)... fly off and build new colonies. If only the method described here actually worked, we'd save billions of dollars a year in damage.

This applies to your startup too... If your product doesn't work (either entirely or in certain edge cases), most people won't tell you about it.. they'll just move on to something else.

That's why it's important to develop a closer relationship with your first customers (and ideally, they're also depending on you to solve an important problem). Otherwise there's little incentive for people to go out of their way to fix an issue with a product they never got far enough along to adopt.
can you not tweak this keepalive parameter?

i know ipsec has a ton of knobs in regards to keepalive, but i wonder if openvpn also supports such fine grained configuration.
as always, it boils down to you being in the minority. This kind of thing has been a/b tested to death.
Maybe there could be a universal gesture that instantly brings up a minimap of the document at the cursor position, like right-click for context menus.
"Prove you need it" isn't really an accurate summation of European gun laws, since as far as I'm aware they all allow ownership of firearms in cases where somebody wants a gun, rather than needs it. Who in Europe needs to hunt for substance, or needs to participate in marksmanship sports? These are recreational hobbies that the gun laws of all European nations I'm aware of accommodate.
It's always fun seeing different approaches to these things. I've been tinkering with a simple RV32I/RV32IM simulator lately -- less fancy, not bothering with ELF loading or emulating linux syscalls or the like yet. I did have fun rigging it up to run the riscv-compliance test suite.

Agreed. Every time I see the story around version management in Python, I'm always at a loss to reconcile that to the "simpler" story of it.

I think it's worse than that.

"Cancellation" is often used in the same way the pillory used to be - making an example of one, as a warning to the rest.

Whilst it's still bouncing around as a thing, discussions simply aren't happening. You can't query aspects of cancel culture, without fearing that you'll be next...so you type something banal.. you decide it's safer to say "N-word" even in contexts where you're directly quoting ... nope, I'm definitely not going to say it here.
The terminology and practice comes from the time when drones were primarily built by hobbyists. Rotors are dangerous for fleshy things, and it's easy to leave controls in an unsafe state (throttles especially, they usually don't have a spring return).

An arming sequence prevents accidents when tinkering and requires the controls to be reset. Like if you're connecting a battery preflight, you don't want the rotors to suddenly spin up and slice your arms to bits. Exposed CF blades spinning at 5k RPM can really mess you up.
Just to be clear, I think the people flying drones are assholes. I'm not saying "don't make a such a big deal out of it". I'm just wondering what the actual danger is. Are the blades really that sensitive? I'd assume they would easily shred a drone to pieces and not be harmed in the process, because they already need to be quite tough to not tear apart under the centrifugal force during normal operation. But I have no idea, thats just my intuition.
How can Edward Snowden be denied a jury trial?
But there's no "debate" here to be had. All the high scale companies (Google, FB, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, others) do not rely on their distributed system nodes being able to wind down in an orderly fashion. Shit, Netflix and Google (and likely others as well) stage fault tolerance exercises, taking random nodes (or entire datacenters) out of rotation and checking if things still work. There's no way to get to five nines if you expect your program to always behave.

If you're going to go through the effort of redesigning a faster layout, why not fix everything from the ground up? Why design a layout with key stagger still a property when we all know that it was a relic of technological limitations that are not nor will ever be present in any future keyboards?
I know many European gun laws are what would be described in the US as 'shall-issue', so it's not 'prove you need it' in all cases.
udp over tcp seems like a terrible idea in terms of performance.

Heck, running a VPN tunnel over TCP itself is already weird, considering the protocols inside the tunnel handle dropped packets if they need to.

It would just result in more inefficiency, a smaller mss/mtu and less throughput.
Although I love Tcl and find it very powerful, it is not as powerful and flexible as Lisp languages. It doesn't have nested procs, closures, lambdas (although one can [eval] or use [apply]) and other functional stuff.
If you look closely at Adam Neumann and Elon Musk, you can see that they are very different people.

What do you think is better for ,,elevating human conciousness'': leasing and renting out high-end office spaces or finding and funding the best neuro scientists to productionize and monatize the brain-human interface that they were working on (and were lacking real funding)?

It's too bad that Elisabeth was that good at manipulating and getting so much power so fast, because she was a great engineer. Still, I don't consider her a genius as what Elon is.

I think the industry has settled on a standard practice of "if you provide a way to send feedback, that feedback point will be rapidly inundated with the communications of idiots".
I think the monkeys are being perfectly reasonable here. If it wasn’t for the experiment being deviously constructed in such a way as to mess with the monkeys for our own human amusement, it would be basically a fact of the environment that climbing that ladder is inherently dangerous. This is approximately the same way that indigenous cultures manage to “remember” which of the plants in their native environment are toxic and which are nutritious, and in which way to prepare them, even if none of them know all of this information cognitively. It might have been centuries since someone died from eating a particular poisonous mushroom, but if not eating that mushroom is how “it’s always been around here”, you can go centuries without anyone dying from eating that mushroom.

In other words, we simians can be stupid, but we aren’t that stupid.
Dang, please explain why commentators like this are not shadowbanned.
Combined population of Europe and Canada is under 600 million. While it’s certainly a large part of this website’s audience, I think it is a stretch to call it a “major chunk of civilization”.
At this point that's where the legal/justice system should intervene. Not all problems can (or should) be fixed by a technological solution.

Same thing with consumer routers, I wouldn't want the FCC to forbid custom firmwares to cease to exists because some bad actors could use frequencies they're not supposed to. These custom firmwares are useful in many cases, including supporting them with security fixes when the manufacturer doesn't.
grepthisab edited all of their original comment out of their post.
I usually use pip3 install --user. Then just add ~/.local/bin to PATH. It hasn't caused any issues for me thus far. I also use venv, but only in CI to make sure that other people's environments don't get messed up. I personally prefer using pip3 install --user.

It's a "presentation" page. Who cares how many requests it makes. You'll only load it once, if that. Its only function is to present stuff in a way that'll make you buy it, which is something it accomplishes really well.
"Well-argued" meaning "fits their conservative worldview".
I assume you could do the gross structures eventually, but the real original neural state wouldn’t be there so not much point.
It did much the same. I let my Google cookies expire on Firefox when they broke Gmail on everything but Chrome. Google search results became even crappier and I got fed up enough to permanently switch to DDG.

I am a night owl, and permanent DST is worse. I would not like that. Usually for us, night owls, it is hard to switch from standard time to dst as we need to wake up one hour earlier. The early riser society is already against us. On winter time, because of all the darkness at north (I live in Finland), it would be hard to get up as the sun is not helping. Standard time during winters at least helps a bit as you can wake up with some sun light. Sure the downside is that it is dark after work. But for me it would be dark, no matter what. I am not leaving my work at 2pm to enjoy the light, which is gone at 4pm. On summer it is never dark, so you can jog at 2am just fine.
New Edge browser logo no longer looks like Internet Explorer
It's unreasonable for you to expect "evolutionary" to imply a single lineage, especially when it's so obvious that many competing companies were involved in designing scroll bars for their platforms. And in at least some cases, differences were introduced to avoid litigation (hence NeXT scroll bars being so different from early Mac).

Falling birdshot is harmless, it has a low terminal velocity. When it falls on dry leaves in the fall, it sounds like rain.

A bit of background on this.

A few years back, another HN user commented in a thread that they had over 700 entries in their password manager. I chalked that up as a power-user problem, though a notable datapoint. My own list is similarly extensive.

(packet_nerd reports this from 7 months ago, though I recall this being several years ago.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19488899)

Reading through an Experian report on online identity and fraud, the statement that the typical online user had "about" 100 accounts struck me. I've tried sourcing this claim, which is uncited, and it seems strongly similar to the Dashlane study linked here. The 100 services number is worldwide, for US users, it was 130.

Which is from 2015, which is to say, four years ago, nearly five. The rate of growth, which is often more critical than the absolute scale, is given as 15% per year. Which, applying the rule of 70, means the doubling time is five years. If that trend has persisted, the number is now on the order of 200 - 260.

There are some caveats: Dashlane are apparently basing this off of a base of 20,000 users, who have an inbox-processing tool installed, which classifies messages, and from which the accounts-per-user information is gleaned. Even a 20k nonrandom sample of a large userbase my have profound biases (this is a self-selected set of users who've installed a specific processing tool, etc., etc.), and it's likely that the actual overall median and mode values are much lower. But the values are still high and growing rapidly.

Upshot is that I really don't think that an accounts-based, relationship-based approach to services can scale. In the spirit of "if something cannot go on forever, it will stop" (Stein's Law), the question becomes how this might stop.

We might see a vast consolidation of services, the widespread adoption of throwaway accounts, or some form of non-acount authentication (e.g., PGP signed messages, rather than authenticated users). The likely direction is quite uncertain.
Not the OP, but K9 is the alternative to using a human for the same purpose. Birds in this case were suggested as an alternative to using a $1 shotgun shell.

I think the article missed the actual reason why they aren't considered part of the COGS (cost of goods sold): taxes.

First off, I'm not a CPA or tax lawyer.

You don't get tax incentives for having more input cost on each item produced. You can write off the costs against your sales, like how the company doesn't have to pay taxes on all their sales, but only their profit.

But you do get massive tax benefits, and sometimes even tax credits, for doing "research and development." And many times, all of software development could be considered, well, development.

This is why companies tech companies like Google and Amazon pay very little in taxes. They know how to use these tax systems, and will write off things as R&D all the time.

https://www.alliantgroup.com/services/r-d-tax-credit-2/

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/03/why-amazon-paid-no-federal-i...

"Amazon’s low tax bill mainly stemmed from the Republican tax cuts of 2017, carryforward losses from years when the company was not profitable, tax credits for massive investments in R&D and stock-based employee compensation."
One option is to download an asset and check how many bytes can be transferred in a given time. The classic speed test. You could do that with the first video file you want to load. If the download takes too long, abort the download and start loading the fallback image.

Yeah, venv's are a must. And to the article's "forgot to activate the venv" complaint, I highly recommend direnv.

On top of activating the venv when (and only when) you're inside your project directory tree, you can use dotenv for loading all relevant env vars (AWS creds, API keys, etc.,) and add your project's root dir to PYTHONPATH with path_add.
No, but I arm the alarm when I get out.

This is where conda excels because it uses its own toolchain and therefore doesn’t need to make any assumptions about the system. Someone needs to have packaged it, ideally using conda-forge, but it should then just work.

Pip installing all from source is tricky to get working correctly as soon as you require a newer compiler or dependencies. Providing wheels works well but is a pain to set up correctly with good platform coverage.

That said, it doesn’t need to be one or the other. Conda integrates well with pip so you can install a base layer with conda then pip install your more esoteric dependencies.
He understood that the internet was missing an internet-native payment system and currency and was acting on it. He failed with the original plan as he had found out that centralized systems have to be regulated and boring.

I think that Bitcoin continues the original spirit and vision that Paypal and X.com were about, but the fight is not over: there's still yet no widely spread global easy to use internet-native currency available, though I think it's just a matter of time.
I think it's a vicious cycle. If you harshly punish people for saying certain things, you create taboos. That causes people to avoid discussing these taboo topics. Everyone knows that they're bad things, but there's none of the debate where you can practice fleshing out exactly what your objections to those ideas are.

Then when someone says those things, you have trouble articulating why they're bad, and then you fall back on the threat of social exclusion.

The human and animals, when in nature, follow the night/day cycles, not an artificial clock time meant to synchronize an industrial society. IMO it's fine, and even natural, to have different time on winter and summer, but why does the change be one hour on every country and why changed all at once?

If health is the goal, e.g. a 20 minutes change each two months seems much easier to adapt to.
That's an interesting argument to make. So egregious design choices are fine for Apple "presentation" pages. Got it. Transferring one-tenth of a CD-ROM is fine because Apple is selling you something.

What other types of pages would you let Apple get away with that you might not let, say, Amazon, or Google, or Microsoft, or Facebook get away with?
