This is an interesting point-of-view to me because I've lived on the east coast of the USA my entire life, roughly split between two places. Between that and the changes that come with aging, I have mixed feelings about this point that I don't fully understand myself. I'll try and explain anyway though.

I like the intent delivered clearly over roundabout ways of getting there. It can weaken the meaning otherwise to not try and be more direct. So clear intent is good. And of course I dislike are when people either make criticism personal, but I think most people feel that way.

What I dislike the most are when people drop their criticism off for you and let you deal with it. It's weird to not have any room for questions. It's hard to work with that and improve on the criticism without being able to discuss it. I also think I find it jarring how few people express any sort of self-doubt either, or room for the possibility that they may be misunderstanding something causing their criticism.

The interesting thing is that sometimes people are willing to help out, but they won't directly say they are, or even drop a subtle hint that they are. If you sort of go in head-first and just ask the dumb questions you may find they're very helpful. But that lack-of clarity is bothering to me.
Well, AFAIK, the so-called Cloud cameras that don't require (nor support) an NVR must be allowed to call-home, whether for setup or regular functioning. They don't do anything inside the LAN. That way they can be easily watched from anywhere, as they don't require open ports on the router, and can work even behind CGNAT. The obvious downside is the video is sent to the company's servers, and given how cheap the device is and how expensive storing and streaming video is, you can bet they're monetizing it somehow...
Have you tried OsmAnd? (and if you have, what are your thoughts?)
Canada doesn’t do better at lifting people out of poverty. They’re just more selective in who they let in and don’t have a huge second world country at their southern border.
Normally JavaScript is a JIT compiled language because of the need to do stuff like hoisting etc.
Social-positively mature. One can be mature and stable in their decisions, obligations, ideas, etc, but give much less damn about how others feel. There are people‘s people and things’ people, the latter usually discriminated for not thinking about someone’s insecurities. I met strangers on the internet who could rip off everyone insecure around and then discuss a topic freely being sure that the opponents who remained are strong persons not changing their minds or truths, not playing logical tricks when being offended. It is somewhat beautiful when a group of commenters almost kills itself only to continue in peace. The world that triggers on a minuscle misstatements has to learn from them, don’t you think?

I would say that a heart of being mature is when you don’t care how someone says something, but that is out of trend right now.
My favorite hoaxes are ones that totally fool some entity that really should know better like the Time Magazine Marblecake hoax. It was fun reading the mini articles on each listed person, stretching a rationale for why they're on the list. https://techcrunch.com/2009/04/27/time-magazine-throws-up-it...
You can be in administrative violation of a statute without being criminally liable. This distinction matters a lot in law because in the former case any litigation is a civil, not criminal matter.

As an everyday example, suppose you park carelessly and get a lot of parking tickets and then don't pay them. You could run into all sorts of problems and eventually your car might be towed away and sold but generally you can't be arrested over it (unless you have a habit of illegally parking in disability spaces, also please don't treat this as a legal opinion), and your history of illegal parking won't show up on a criminal background check.

This maters a lot because people who are anti-immigration love presenting all illegal immigrants as criminals and use that to justify all sorts of human rights violations with 'but they're criminals!!!' Even the immigration violations that are crimes (like illegally crossing a border after having previously being deported) are misdemeanor-type crimes, but to listen to some political types you'd think it was worse than murder.

Bear in mind too that such misleading rhetoric is used to justify private as well as public atrocities, such as the shooting in El Paso earlier this year where 22 people were murdered.

Unrelated, but I recently had to archive some docs and photos and had to start looking for a solid scanner client / OCR software. Prizmo Pro for Mac is incredible, and was one of the only OCR apps I could find that utilized a local RNN.

It’s results are nearly perfect and fast, 3-4x as accurate as adobe acrobat and easily 6-7x the speed.

Even as a dev it blows me away things like OCR running locally on a MacBook has come this far.
I don't agree, but I wanted to say to everyone else:

Please don't downvote coherent comments where someone obviously put an effort into expressing their argument just because you disagree. This is perfectly valid discussion.

Do you have any recommendations on brands by any chance? I don't know anyone who has them, but I've been considering getting a couple for my phone and random devices that use usb-c.
> I mean, what is “burnout” other than not wanting to work?

Burnout is more like desperately wanting to be able to work but a variety of things ruining your sleep, your concentration, your memory, and your health so that you can't.
Nice work! I really like this.
This article is pretty reductive, claiming that regardless of anything else Bill Gates might believe or accomplish, if he doesn't support wealth taxes, he's on the "other" side (scare quotes, not quote quotes).

There's a shortage of those workers, so that can't be true.

> Once again, I am still waiting of a single example of hate speech that would be valuable to a discussion and that can't be replace by non-offensive one.

So, you want people to make some statements that, depending upon their country of origin, might result in criminal or social penalties (including losing their job) because if the those statements were ever tied back to them it might be seen as endorsing "hate speech"? You realize how freaking insane that is, right?

You claim to be inviting argument, and yet you endorse a system which would penalize people for accepting that invitation.

Listen, if you really need an example or two of meaningful ideas that might qualify, I'll provide. But it ultimately doesn't matter whether you consider them a valuable contribution to the discussion, what matters is whether other people have the right express what matters to them. If they don't, then the root of these problems can never be addressed.
IIRC this text https://harvardmagazine.com/2019/05/inflammation-disease-die... talked about inflammation caused by fat cells. So basically avoid being fat would presumably one. (Without going to the whole discussion on how to achieve that)
Back in the early 80's I regularly said I was an airline pilot or worked at NASA to impress girls in bars. My gran went to her grave proudly thinking I'd been up to space on a secret mission, and there are still a few people out in the world who will swear they met a real double-agent or the guy who designed the lotus esprit..

Harmless fun, but not really possible to get away with these days..

Damn you Google!
There's not really any evidence, but it's easy to draw a line between when the media hysteria whipped up and when the tobacco industry got approval to sell their heated tobacco product in the US. Also, there's every reason to believe that the tobacco industry would hugely benefit from vaping (an industry they have a small chunk of) going away and being replaced with heated tobacco (an industry they would own).
UK... no. Sometimes to landlines, rarely to mobiles. I have never personally got one.

While I recognize that the language used here would normally be read as aggressive, I don't really understand why.

When someone speaks to me this way, especially in written form, I make it a point to assume noble intent. They are trying to communicate efficiently. I think it's an especially common style among programmers who are accustomed to "talking" to computers all day.

Still, I try not to use this kind of language myself. Sometimes you need to be inefficient in order to communicate efficiently. Leadership of many organizations has to fly across the world to have conversations face to face to accomplish efficient communication sometimes. It's pretty paradoxical!
Exactly, we would not have this problem if each call cost $1000 to make.
I wonder what the difference is between this particular livechat and the livechat for say the league of legends world finals. There was definitely twitch style livechat emote spamming in that chat.. i guess Youtubes just keeping an eye on that one while this one was caught with some automated ruleset that identified this as abusive behavior?
Contents property itself is not a private API. Quality of docs I can't speak to, but it's a different issue than private API (which is stuff that's not in the public SDK).
Yeah seems Vitamin C is pushed more as anti-inflammatory as it is an antioxidant like coffee/caffeine and cannabis that reduces inflammation. [1][2] "Antioxidants help get rid of free radicals that can damage cells and tissue, which means fewer triggers for inflammation." [2]

Ok, now think this the rest of the way through. Without FKs, how do you, at the application level, ensure that A and B don't commit separate changes (A to child, B to parent) that break consistency?

If A tries to insert a child for 1, and B changes the id to 2.... OOPS! And from both's perspective it looks perfectly safe.
Probably the other way around. When I first started using Rust it still had LWT and segmented stacks. I was excited that it seemed like I'd finally have a sort of "systems" Erlang. Over time the only consistent large nexus of Rust users using it "in anger" were the compiler team itself and the Servo team. Lots of those folks were, or had been, working on pretty significant C++ code bases, and over time their needs and perspectives seemed to (kind of necessarily) take hold.
Imagine cars would record and forward to police everything said in them. We must hold Volkswagen responsible for the child abusers driving around rampantly, while they look the other way. We cannot allow the inside of a car to be a "law-free zone".

Are you saying there is a version of this photo at even higher resolution? Is there anything you could tell me that would help me track it down? It's sort of a hard thing to Google for, and hunting through the raw NASA database seems like a needle in a haystack.

EDIT: Based on this, I think you might have just gotten the two cameras confused :)

> LORRI is a simple camera to understand -- it's point and shoot. It is black-and-white, with a square detector, 1024 pixels square, over an extremely narrow field of view of 0.29 degrees....Sometimes, to keep file sizes small and improve signal in low light situations, you can bin LORRI images 4x4, so the resulting pictures are 256 pixels square. That's pretty much it for LORRI....

> MVIC is quite different from LORRI...The detector is 5024 pixels wide, of which 5000 are actually photoactive, so its images are 5000 pixels wide by an arbitrary number of pixels long.

One way is through re-targetting. You visit an e-commerce site looking for a pair of shoes. You browse for a while but nothing seems interesting so you leave. The site then targets you through Facebook with tailor made ads and probably limited time discounts. They can track you through Facebook pixel. It works like a charm because the need to buy the product never went away.

A large portion of users do indeed block ads, but most don't. The higher blocking percentage I've seen is in the region of 30%-35% (it's in Greece I think).
Narcissists are a specific kind of asshole. They tend to seek power and they are very good at convincing the people above them that they deserve it. That's what makes them more dangerous to an organization than average assholes.
I actually wrote an API for handling personal names, because software mangling people's names irked my pedanticism. The fundamental takeaway is that names are ridiculously complex, equivalent to any other part of natural language. For every rule you could contrive there are exceptions, and many more legitimately ambiguous cases.

You shouldn't ever use first/last name fields, because they force users to adapt around your system (many names don't follow this structure). A long unstructured text fields is best, because it can accommodate nearly anyone who's name can be spelled with unicode. Finally always check your interpretation of a name with the person in question, seeing as they're the end authority.

We need a thread like this. It’s very hard to suss out what the industry definition of a “junior” engineer is.

Especially when mid level postings will interview juniors and even let them make it to an on-site (at the chance of a cheaper hire compared to a more experienced candidate) and just pass them up for someone with more experience :(
No one's feelings are hurt, it just comes off as sounding like a dick. Just like the expression 'hurt your feelings'. (Nothing personal though, I'm sure you're swell in real life.)
Yes, in fact you could and should.

When I read a description of a narcissist, I think "that sounds like the description of an average human to me".

Why is this question even being asked?

The answer is everybody, in their own respective spaces.

It's not me but not others. It's me AND all others.

If I run a bar, I get to kick out customers who voice despicable opinions. Exact same thing applies if I run a shop, a web forum, or a conference for that matter.

All of us gets to kick out people who behave badly from our own private spaces, nothing obligates me to tolerate abuse.

Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences. It does not mean the right to an audience. It means you get to say your opinion without the government interfering - and then other people get to decide how to react to it.

Freedom of speech without the right to react and respond to what others say would a horrible idea. Partially because it entirely invalidates the reason for why speech is supposed to be free. If you can't change things based on what you learned from what you heard, why even bother letting people speak?

If this means somebody else bans me from their space for being offensive, then so be it.
Your name is one letter. If that was me I would change it instantly.
Ask HN: How do you pronounce 'data'?
How do you pronounce the word 'data'?

I have always pronounced the word 'data' as 'dādə ', with a long a, and I've noticed that many people with some kind of technical training do the same.

However, I also have noticed that there is a recently growing contingent of people who pronounce it as 'dadə', with a short a. Most of these people are either in sales, or senior management. It drives me crazy to hear it pronounced this way, almost as much as when I see the word 'lose' spelled as 'loose'.

Is there a pronunciation that you prefer?
So, you have no reasoning?
I've always thought that was more of a meme/rumor than actual fact. It seems unlikely to me that the average executive is somebody with a fragile ego that lacks empathy. From my perspective it can't be the case. The executives I've worked with have always been powerful teammates with great listening/communication skills. Maybe I'm just lucky?
Memory DOS will not happen with normal recursion, only a tradional stackoverflow. And by adding some content after the fixed number of [ or {, this will by on the stack as argument to the recursive function. There are so many possible exploits. See eg. https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.... or search for "stack overflow recursion exploit"
The point of prop 13 is to protect exactly the normal people who have regular non-tech incomes who happened to but in cities where there was a huge rise in property prices.

I.e. It enables people who have normal labor income from active involvement to keep the houses they were able to afford rather than being penalized simply because a nearby industry booming.

It impacts these people far more beneficially than any negative that comes from not penalizing the people for whom the tax would not be a problem.

You give the appearance of to preferring labor involvement over passive investment, and yet your entire argument is based on how unfair it is that you didn’t get to benefit from a passive investment. It seems like you would actually like that for yourself, no?

If you want to buy a home and your income comes from labor in the Bay Area, then Prop 13 is the only thing protecting you from being displaced if prices continue to rise.
Ah. Any idea why it wouldn’t be a problem (from what I’ve heard) in the UK then?
It doesn't take up much space so I imagine the cost is just as much as it would cost to dig a very deep hole in the ground in a location unlikely to be exposed even if all record of its location was lost... perhaps under the ocean.

> It would be like if you were watching Jeopardy, and then during the commercials all you saw were ads for Jeopardy... so moronic

This is a different sort of targeting. This is targeting the advertising dollars of the advertiser. "Look you advertised for Jeopardy and now he's watching Jeopardy, what a great ROI"
The fight against tobacco grew into a very large and lucrative industry consisting of a lot of lawyers and nonprofits; experts and pharmaceutical companies with smoking cessation products and programs; and employing a lot of lobbyists, government grant writers, and PR people.

After the big tobacco settlements were done and the restrictions on advertising, packaging, flavoring, and describing cigarettes made federal law, this industry was decimated. The people left behind simply look for any possibility of generating income from anything they can connect to cigarette consumption.

I honestly think it's purely venal. They're attacking a product with a tiny health risk as compared to cigarettes, but using the same language and intentionally and carefully equivocating between the health effects of the two. If they were actually concerned about people's health, the emphasis would be on lobbying for regulation, inspection, and testing of vaping products - which have been a complete free-for-all of an industry which was long overdue to have killed people with a run of tainted product. That it happened in the corner case of vaping and cannabis made it even less overseen, but was also probably a bit of good luck. More people vape tobacco and people who vape tobacco vape more. If some new (or old) ingredient in some widely-distributed line of "vape juice" turned out to be killing people, it would kill a lot more people. That has nothing to do with nicotine or tobacco, though, the reason we even have an FDA is because of dangerous cosmetics, so I don't know how things like "supplements" and vape juice get defined as unregulatable other than through bribery. And I don't know why these groups fight for ultimately unattainable bans rather than proper, strict regulation other than that going for bans generates endless work. If vaping is safer than cigarettes then we want smokers to vape, and if vaping can be made absolutely safe by changing how it's made and inspecting what is sold, then we should do that and as a society stop telling people not to vape.

NPR is simply pushing the agenda of whoever is willing to give it money and send it press releases, and that's probably a lot of law firms looking for a new tobacco-style feeding frenzy and a bunch of government regulators and counterpart lobbyists considering collaborating on that. I would guess that there may have been internal lobbying at some point that would keep NPR from accepting money from tobacco companies anyway, and Altria isn't part of Kraft any more, so there's really no avenue for them to have a say in NPR content.
