> large numbers of studies are showing that there is... no substantial evidence that people have this consistent relationship between the emotion that you are feeling and the way that your face looks.

Total, absolute bullshit --- which is exactly what I'd expect from AI Now. Everyday experience shows that we can read people's feelings via their faces. (Yes, deception is possible, but the possibility of putting on a fake face validates the thesis!) Happy people look happy. Sad people look sad. Millennia of literature and art confirm. "Large numbers of studies" confirm lots of things that would be convenient if true, but aren't. The social sciences are totally and catastrophically broken.

These expressions are older than people. Even dogs and humans can read each others' emotions. Anyone who's met a dog understands that you can tell that a happy dog is happy. I'm amazed that the person quoted in the article was able to make the above claim with a straight face.

> So a large part of the problem is that we're rolling out cargo-cult crap without adequate self-reflection.

So what? Astrology doesn't work either and we don't have to go around banning that. If this technology didn't actually work, activist groups wouldn't be trying to ban it.
Or Eastern Europe. Everyone torrents films here, and until recently, ISPs often even facilitated filesharing. Cases where anyone has received criminal sanctions are vanishingly small, even in the EU or West Balkan states, let alone Russia where reportedly most copyright infringement cases are dismissed out of hand.
I've used VS with ReSharper for many years, because ReSharper adds so much to it

That said, before I pulled the trigger and purchased a Rider license, I tried running VS without ReSharper. While it certainly was definitely faster, more responsive and used less memory, I still didn't find it as snappy as Rider. It also still had my laptop fans whining, and occasionaly became completely unresponsive.

It's a real shame - Visual Studio is without doubt an excellent IDE, but performance and reliability issues have plagued it since forever. I really wish a serious effort would be made to address these.
Can you please edit swipes like "Give me a break" out of your posts to HN? Your comment would be fine with just the other two sentences.

Sure, no one is ‘forcing’; there’s just very limited choice.
$300 for the simplest keyboard...
At a certain scale, being cloud agnostic is actually very financially beneficial. The negotiating leverage leads to substantially better private pricing deals with your cloud provider.
I don't really understand why people want such tiny keyboards.

The most comfortable (and healthy!) way to type is to have your hands a shoulderwidth apart so you don't have to compress your arms.
I used an ergodox infinity for a while which was fantastic in terms of back pain but terrible in terms of everything else.

I currently use a Kinesis Advantage 1 which I'm tempted to dremel in half so I can get proper separation. It's that or learn how the Dactyl is configured so I can add enough keys to it to be useful :/
FWIW, I think Adobe actually adds quite a bit to Creative Cloud every year, plus they offer fonts and connections with their mobile apps and such as part of the same price. Creative Cloud today is a very different beast from CS6.

(obdisclaimer: I worked for Adobe several years ago, but have no current stake other than being on the CC photography plan)
I'm currently held back from going into the mechanical keyboard world because I'm hooked on the thinkpad trackpoint stick and mouse buttons below the spacebar - I've got a thinkpad and two usb keyboards with the dot and mouse buttons, and I use them on every computer I touch. Are there mechanical keyboards with built in mouse functionality?
Some occupations require caps lock. Broadcast journalism, anything where data will be exchanged with legacy systems, etc...

For some reason people on HN think if something isn't useful for their specific workflow, then nobody should have it or use it.
This kind of research does not have any practical application in a society where we treat each other as equals. Further, it's statistics, so there are outliers.

I am 100% certain that lots of the things that determine our lives are heritable, but that doesn't mean I think this kind of research is beneficial.

Research should be aimed at improving the general state of humanity. We have already seen what this does. Why would anyone even give this stuff a chance?
Presumably you've logged on to all the devices with your iTunes account? OP said he couldn't get the movie on to his girlfriend's iPad. Can an iPad have multiple iTunes accounts associated with it? AFAIK no, and if he had tried to log her out to log himself in, it would have erased her downloaded content.

Ah, isn't DRM beautiful. I'm reminded of a time when a man sitting next to me on a flight couldn't play any downloaded content on his tablet he was not in his home region. Gee, people fly to places outside their home, what a surprise!
> Emotion-detection tech is a prosthetic for autistic people

Never heard of it being used that way. Not sure how current tools would work for that. Examples?
I was just giving an example... there are a nearly infinite number of sentences out there, even if they share a common structure. That said, it doesn't have to make sense and I'd be okay with "noun noun noun noun noun" for that matter. The point is, you hit a point where it's good enough and even then if you really need more security that's where MFA strategies come into place.
It had an update the other day but ... yeah, why would a legacy software product suddenly be on the front page?

I just bought a Leopold FC980M mechanical keyboard with brown switches. I was hesitant to buy into the hype for a long time. The keyboard cost $130 after shipping, which is expensive for a keyboard in my opinion. But, I can confidently say it was well worth the money. If you do a lot of typing I would seriously recommend giving a mechanical keyboard, specifically a Leopold, a shot.
congratulations. This is the stupidest thing I have read all day. Anyone can get an Indian death certificate forged for $100.
It'd be interesting to see how the eye damage/strain caused by reading small text on a big monitor compares to the eye damage/strain caused by reading big text on monitors inches away from your eyes.
Neat. But how do you make this modular and still safe? When the code invoking qsort() does not know about how many callbacks there are, can you still deal with it?
What do you claim they copied? The GUI, the features?
Like multi-language projects where you're working with both Java and Python code in the same source tree (actually you can include arbitrary folders from anywhere), or using multiple Python versions (and virtualenvs) in for different modules/packages in the same project.
Seriously not sure if you’re trolling or not.

If not, you’ve made a series of lifestyle changes of questionable value based on terrible (or no) evidence. Avoiding hunger, sit-ups, and raw food has no long-term benefit to your general health; becoming overweight and (maybe) exercising less than before may actually be somewhat deleterious. (Unhygienic food, raw or not, of course may be to avoid... but that’s not related to ulcer formation.)

Ulcers are totally curable via a short course of proton-pump inhibitors +/- antibiotics to eradicate H.Pylori. These are cheap (generic) drugs with a low risk of side effects. Go see a doctor and get yourself fixed up. Chronic gastric inflammation definitely isn’t good.
I assumed tax policy had something to do with it, the US taxes profit not revenue so companies like Amazon are financially incentivized to always reinvest in itself and grow. Many European countries have a pretty hefty ~20% VAT.
That's one of the out-of-the-box themes, but I just checked and the theme I use is called "Visual Studio Code Dark Plus", and I use the colour scheme with the same name. You can find it as a plugin here:

Thank you! My favorite passage:

> YOLOv3 is a good detector. It’s fast, it’s accurate. It’s
not as great on the COCO average AP between .5 and .95 IOU metric. But it’s very good on the old detection metric of .5 IOU. Why did we switch metrics anyway? The original
COCO paper just has this cryptic sentence: “A full discussion of evaluation metrics will be added once the evaluation server is complete”. Russakovsky et al report that that humans have a hard time distinguishing an IOU of .3 from .5! “Training humans to visually inspect a bounding box with IOU of 0.3 and distinguish it from one with IOU 0.5 is surprisingly difficult.” [18] If humans have a hard time telling the difference, how much does it matter?

> But maybe a better question is: “What are we going to
do with these detectors now that we have them?” A lot of the people doing this research are at Google and Facebook. I guess at least we know the technology is in good hands and definitely won’t be used to harvest your personal information and sell it to.... wait, you’re saying that’s exactly what it will be used for??

> Oh. Well the other people heavily funding vision research are
the military and they’ve never done anything horrible like killing lots of people with new technology oh wait.....

> I have a lot of hope that most of the people using computer vision are just doing happy, good stuff with it, like counting the number of zebras in a national park [13], or tracking their cat as it wanders around their house [19]. But computer vision is already being put to questionable use and as researchers we have a responsibility to at least consider the harm our work might be doing and think ofways to mitigate it. We owe the world that much. In closing, do not @ me. (Because I finally quit Twitter).

They're teasing something about this for H1 2020. I am really looking forward to it.
If Burundi goes 0 emissions tomorrow it hardly matters

If California does, it matters :
- It shows it is possible, and increase political pressures on others
- It create a pressure and market (California is big enough and Burundi or Alaska are not) for new solutions (technology based or not) that can be implemented elsewhere
- It help decreasing the cost of many existing solutions, and everybody will benefits from it
- It is possible to set up carbon tax at the border, increasing the incentive to follow California path
The Kyle Kulinski Show: US Lying for 18 Years About Afghánistan War
The funny thing is, I have a pretty interesting day job. I think I have too high expectations to be able to also have, for instance, a side job. And friends. And a healthy marriage. Gotta prioritize, I think.
The second question simply fails to describe what actions the user is taking. In this case, it's not a matter of not knowing about methods of interacting with servers. It's a matter of leaving out steps, such as typing `ssh`, due to lack of their effort.

If I asked a question about something I have no idea about, such as training a sheepdog, I'd still be able to put forth effort into describing the steps I take to someone, so they know what I tried to do. The question "The dog isn't learning this command!" isn't bad because of my lack of sheepdog knowledge, it's bad because it omits tons of important information about my situation. Therefore it's a lazy question.
This one is also interesting!

The thing I love about JetBrains is their ethic.

- Started by making refactoring plugins for IDEs. Became irritated by those IDEs. Wrote their own IDE.

- Supported various programming languages. Became irritated by those languages. Made their own programming language.
I lost it at citation 1, the Wikipedia page for analogy
Ergodox EZ was also a game-changer for me. It's been key in solving some posture problems, and I love having a programmable keyboard.
You can see a tractor on the road every now and then, so there must be some regulatory way. However that comes with servere limitations, for example on speed.

Looks like you’re right on this. Probably wishful thinking on my part that at least one manufacturer would be doing the right thing wrt autonomous vehicles.
It occurs to me that because I’ve operated farm equipment, maybe one should ignore my poo-pooing. Seriously, sure, I can tell you eight ways to Sunday this won’t work, and some smarty-pants can show me how I’m wrong. But right now I’m just stuck in a mode of “that’s more hassle than filling it with diesel and being done with it”. I might be right, but that’s not where innovation comes from, so I’ll be quiet.
Thanks for the chuckles.
complaining about $300 for a great keyboard is like complaining about a pricey bed. You use it for how many hours of the day if you're a programmer/engineer? Maybe it's worth spoiling yourself.
I once had an IBM keyboard with two very long rows of function keys (I think they were labeled PF1, PF2, etc...) above the numbers. There must have been 30 of them.

The keyboard was a beast. Weighed as much as a Fiat and the fat cable terminated in something that looked like a Centronics connector.

Then one day the computer was replaced by a Wang terminal with a svelte, modern keyboard and it felt like the future was finally here.
Glad I'm not the only one, I may have picked it up somewhere. And thanks for the encouragement!

Yeah, I didn't realize that at all until he pointed it out. I will definitely need a way to share a link to a specific post...

Nope. That's a comment on a tangentially related function declaration; it happens to be inaccurate. Here is where the default is actually specified (2000 ms):

Given that Kotlin now also is first class development language for Android, I think Jetbrains gets plenty of revenue from Android
Thanks for the warm response!

> Honestly, @valyala should just create a metrics collector and then I wouldn't have to deal with the "we know better" attitude from some Prometheus contributors

We didn't want going this route, since this could hurt Prometheus community in the long run. But we constantly keep hearing this feature request from VictoriaMetrics users, who deal with high ingestion rates. Probably such a collector will be implemented in the future unless Prometheus devs address the following issues in Prometheus:

* Increased RAM and CPU usage when enabling remote_write.

* Increased disk space usage on high ingestion rate.

* High network bandwidth usage for pushing data to remote storage.
I think android studio uses the community (open source) version of IntelliJ Idea, so it should not be a big part of Jetbrains revenue.

> In Vim I'd press `j` to get to the first entry, then `A,<esc>` to append the `,` after the first one, then `j.` to move down and repeat the action. I then press `j.` a bunch more times (which is really easy to do rapidly with your index and ring finger on Qwerty) and in 2 seconds I'm done. Vim's `.` to repeat the last action is really powerful and can save you a ton of time for small ad-hoc edit repetitions that don't warrant doing a full macro with `q`.

Eh. I'd probably do 'qqA,<esc>j0q', and then '8@q'.

That's also probably not the best example, since that's also trivial if you have an editor supporting multiple cursors.
Probably. I moved the comment to that parent.
I made a mistake on my federal tax return some years ago and to my great surprise the IRS turned out to be super-easy to deal with. They told me the amount at issue in the notification letter, a human answered the answered the phone and was able to explain the mistake in a couple of minutes, and they gave me a comfortable window to pay them back. As it only involved a few hundred dollars and it was very much my mistake (a careless math error as opposed to being about interpretation of the rules) it's easy to feel positive about it, but I'd rather talk to the IRS for 15 minutes a week than ever call Comcast again about anything.
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll definitely need link-able posts! Hopefully I don't have to redesign everything.

FYI, I'm just using Bootstrap and plain HTML/CSS/PHP with one or two JS functions.

Jekyll+Github looks like a pretty nice setup, although idk if it's worth the effort to change now.
Even something simple like reading code line by line (and of like me you like to move the cursor as you read the line), and your cursor reached the bottom of the screen, and you want reset the viewport where the line the cursor is on is at the middle of the viewport, is one keystroke ‘M’
And I think all the plans come with cloud storage which syncs across devices.

I fought the subscription plan for LR, but realized I usually updated yearly and had this complicated file management system for my photos. For $120/year I have the latest LR versions on all my devices and only have to worry about true backup.

I do keep an eye out for a LR replacement, but I haven't found anything that comes close to LRs file management.
Apologies but I'm only reading the first sentence of your comment.

It's about how I enjoy coding. Its my job but I love it. It's fun. Part of what makes it so enjoyable is the ergonomics. Ask any craftsman about their tools.
What features would a "slimmed down version of systemd" provide that isn't available in various independent tools we used to use (and still use today).

* Running/waking a program from network activity? inetd (xinetd) has been doing that since the '70s.

* journald? Logging tools - including multiple types of syslog daemons - are numerous; use whatever you want. Choice is good. Even journald could be an option some people might prefer If it wasn't monolithically tied to systemd and could be used as a stand-alone daemon.

* cgroups? Other managers exist.

* timedated? Managing the clock was never difficult. The standard solution is to delegate most/all clock management to ntpd. If you had especially unusual needs, you probably had to set it up manually anyway (probably with a tiny amount of sh script).

* udevd? Other hardware managers exist. Some of us prefer the peace-of-mind of a simple static configuration instead of a manager, but you should be able to use udevd if you prefer it; udevd used to work stand-alone, but Lennart added it to the systemd monolith[1] when they were trying to push kdbus into the kernel. -sigh-

* daemon/process management? daemontools, runnit, s6, etc.

* logind? This attempts to create the concept of a "session" as a privilege boundary that is orthogonal to the actual privilege boundary in UNIX: the UID. The entire concept is a terrible security problem waiting to happen. The entire concept of a session is especially stupid considering most people don't actually use the traditional multiuser features of UNIX or this new "session" concept. In the rare situation where someone actually is running an actual multiseat setup, an extra step to install an optional package with these features wouldn't be a burden. The rest of just need a simple login/password prompt that can launch gnome/kde/.xinitrc/whatever at login time, which already existed as {x,g,sd,lx}dm.

If there are features that were only provided by systemd, is a monolithic[1] daemon really the best solution? Or could those feature simply be encapsulated into a small stand-alone package that could work wherever it is needed?

edit:

[1] Any objections trying to claim systemd isn't a tightly coupled, monolithic design will be ignored. If you think the number of binary program files is in any way useful as an objection, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19024256
If the problem space is that similar, a streaming equivalent of

I'll be honest, I bought an Ergodox EZ a year or so ago and have consistently struggled to get comfortable using it. I have set up quite a few useful macros for programs I use daily like tmux as well as making it more vim-friendly (after many interations) and yet I still find it a serious chore to get past the fact that the keys feel un-naturally placed. Eventually I just give up and switch back to my laptop keyboard (I'm usually trying to write something and it feels like the keyboard is blocking my natural stream of typing) and so the cycle continues.

I guess my question is -- did everyone else switching to the Ergodox EZ have this problem? And should I just push myself to suffer through it more? Or is it the case that I should revisit my layout (again) to figure out if there's a way to further optimise it so it feels less foreign? One of the really frustrating things is that there isn't a natural place to put fairly common programming key combinations such as "()", "{}", "=+", or "-_" -- does everyone else just use layer toggles for that?

EDIT: Ah, I see your layout makes fairly significant use layer toggles. And you also had trouble with "on-boarding" for the first few weeks -- I guess I just need to force myself to use it then. I might take yours and modify it to add some of the tmux and i3 macros I have defined.
Audacity is more of an audio editor though, not a "real" DAW. The most well-known open source DAW I'm aware of is Ardour.
When I first read that some retailers (Walgreens) were putting face-scanning emotion profiling tech in their stores, I couldn't help but think about how many false readings would come from people who have resting bitch face.†
