For such people, it's a lot more important to signal familiarity with bourgeois/middle-class values than economic status per se. So it's one instance where one's outfit might actually convey useful info to outsiders. But even then, they don't have to expend huge amounts of money/effort; they just have to not screw it up.

If you look at photos from many decades or even, say, a century ago, back when middle-class values were truly common across the socio-economic spectrum, you'll see it was a lot more common for even low-income folks to wear suits or at least semi-casual wear. The point was not to waste resources or signal wealth; everyone knew that these people were quite poor. It was all about values.
No, this is completely different. This is a patient group that needs interventions, and the focus of the investigation and the controversy is about the type of intervention... A small stent or a large bypass.
I'd expect that at some point mirorless cameras will get close to feature parity at the computational photography part, and will beat smartphones handily by having the space for a good lens and slightly bigger sensors.

Cause all the tricks used on smartphones still work if you have a better lens and sensor. They will still yield these improvements. It's just gonna take a while for the manufacturers to catch up. Especially on the DSLR end, because of slow shutters and massive momentum.

On the other hand, I can't think of another game where the beginning of the game is such a long non-interactive/gameplay-free sequence, so I don't think it's something that has been copied a lot.

I don't think it's irrational at all. It's risk tolerance.

For myself, I believe the pain and anguish is worth the 3%, given all other things equal. Others like yourself, might not.

Maybe I'm the irrational one.

At the end of the day, the point of the article is exactly that - so you can make an informed decision.

I choose to have my 3% back; You get less pain/recovery.

Pre whistleblowing, there was no choice. It was stent 100% and, oversimplified, 3% more people died without having gotten to make that choice because the study was funded by the stent guys. It was decided for them.

Yeah this article discusses an armed robbery where a firearm was discharged and someone was injured. That is a serious crime that upon conviction results in a serious sentence in any jurisdiction.

This hasn’t been true for years. Yes in the past, the embedded safari engine (used by apps) didn’t have JIT capabilities. But since webkit2’s multi process model, and WKwebView in iOS which is now the only way to embed WebKit, it’s the exact same as native.

This makes it clear why it's in the individual advertiser's interest _and_ advertising network/website's interest to get more data on the users.

The cost to the advertiser has stayed the same (or in reality, has probably gone down slightly, as it's likely fewer people are bidding on the impression) while the revenue per impression has overall gone up.
This is why I find it so difficult to work with my organization’s designers. They all work primarily in print, so when they give me a web design it’s always frustrating for everyone involved. They don’t understand why I can’t reproduce their reference designs pixel-perfect; they don’t get that giving me layouts for three different screen sizes doesn’t make their design responsive. I try to explain these things and they don’t really believe me, but I don’t blame them. I would have had the same reaction before I experienced it myself.

It might just be that the people in their target market are willing to pay that price. The price doesn't need to be tied very directly to production costs.
They don’t normally decrease the price below what the original baseline was. Would be nice if they did, but that’s not how it appears to be used by today’s companies

This is becoming too common to be ignored: sugar coating scientific production so that they are unreproducible, is purely misleading, or the conclusions would be different if some data didn't hold back.Of course, adding health, conflict of interest (despite it being warned in the article) and industry just makes things more dangerous, but the essence is the same: more scientific papers being published each year don't mean more quality, nor that we are making all the progress we think.
Thank you, will give them a go. :)
Very nice idea for the project. The "baby steps" you're taking seems to be the right way to go. You may need to focus a bit more on the documentation though. I was interested in trying the product (for the sake of trying), but couldn't easily go further than the install steps.

You're clearly not up to date with the situation on the ground here. We're upgrading our cycle infrastructure and removing cars from city centres at the same time. Where there's no space for segregated infrastructure or in rural areas where it would not be economical, speed reductions are generally applied: 30 km/h in built-up areas, 60 km/h outside.

As for the why: car and bicycle speeds are just too different. Segregation improves life for both, and especially safety for cyclists, who will always be at a physical disadvantage in an accident.

> Because it makes me look successful in the eyes of Others

This is going pop psychology pretty fast but do you think an explanation could be that it's you who believe that? "I have this expensive watch now 'cause I'm successful" and what others are picking up is your confidence that stems from this belief.

I totally agree that people want to do business with confident/successful people but I believe that you could have the same aura which would get the same results with a nice anonymous $50 watch spending all your money on other expensive things that you don't wear/display on your body.

It's not an "English speaking" thing, nor "trashy".

Moreover, that is not a paper; it's a blog article written with, and I quote the website's colophon, "Academic rigour, journalistic flair".

Or "calm down ur tits m8 get laid or smt" as an actually trashy english speaker would say.
I kind of agree, and kind of not. I've said many times that your Twitter/Facebook feeds are mostly what you make of them, and that curating those feeds is an essential skill. I also very deliberately curate my Facebook feed to bring me joy instead of anger, though my Twitter feed is a bit more like Fight Club.

On the other hand, curation is a skill. Many struggle with it even under relatively benign circumstances, let alone when dedicated and well-funded adversaries are deliberately infiltrating and abusing otherwise-positive conversations. By "adversaries" I mean not just political propagandists but also corporate ones BTW. Thus I'm a bit hesitant to suggest "just curate your feed better" as a complete solution. People need help. That help might combine education, structural change, and APIs (e.g. to support opt-in shared filtering and block lists). Probably all three.
I'm not gold plating but I've learned to not compromise on code quality. There is a lower level I will not cross, like an engineer who will not build a car without seat belts.

Page tables can have multiple levels. For example in x86_64 you'd have 4 levels, i.e the virtual->physical mapping is implemented as a tree with depth 4, where each leave and internal node of such tree is 4kb (page size). (As usual, details are more complicated than that)

Seven things that slow down your VPN and what you can do about it
A lot of others here talk about authoring being what made Flash popular, but the other big part of it is the SWF format itself, which is highly efficient because of its compact encoding and ease of parsing. Those who played Flash games on computers over a decade ago may remember what I mean --- a tiny file provides high quality vector graphics and interactivity (and the ads, although I hear that these days they're just as obnoxious even without Flash...) HTML/CSS/JS doesn't even come close, although it feels like they're slowly reinventing bits of Flash with things like WASM.

Another example of evidence based medicine changing things is PSA testing and "digital rectal exams" performed in the US routinely for middle-aged men over 40 for decades. No evidence supporting these a routine procedure. Many other countries never did that because there was no reason to do so. Butt fingering and PSA test has been a money maker for doctors.

The HN demographic(s) just has a different set of shiny things used for signaling value. I'd make a joke about hoodies and flip flops but I think that's a little out dated.

That said, I think you're over-estimating the signal difference between "being well dressed" and "wearing half a grand". The returns per dollar greatly diminish.
The difference here is intrinsic cost vs extrinsic value and goes to the old adage; charge what the consumer will pay.
Ask HN: Technical Founder in Operational Hell
My startup is at an early stage, with a team size of 5 (+ one cat).
What was very unexpected for me as a manager is how much time and effort I have to put in filling out different forms (on- and offline). Hence providing the same information over and over again.
I estimate that in the last month I spent ~5 hours on this stuff (feels like 100).

Can anyone relate or knows of any solution? I was thinking of hiring an office manager, but we are trying to stay lean as our runway is not too long.
I don't care. I think that even if it is unavoidable it is very much worthwhile to resist and to indicate as early and as often as possible what is and is not acceptable. The only times when it is worth giving up some of your privacy is (1) when it is with your active consent and (2) when there is a tangible benefit to you and (3) as a result you are not causing 'collateral damage' to the privacy of others (who have not given their consent). Privacy is a great good and giving it up should be done very carefully lest we all end up regretting this in ways that can not be undone.

It must be my overactive imagination but I can see so many ways in which this data can be abused that there is no possible upside that I'm willing to trade for. Consent withdrawn and if the last taxi is outfitted with facial recognition software I'll be happy to walk.

The memory read speeds for the SPEs (Synergistic Processing Elements, or "APUs" these days) was horrible. It was about 3 orders of magnitude slower than it was meant to be.

This is why the chip basically died. Memory read speeds for the SPUs were impossibly slow, meaning that they were crippled into uselessness, AIUI.

> Store bought leather shoes that are well-polished look virtually identical to handmade.

No, they're not. Shoes have a fairly broad spectrum of quality and style. Not everyone notices and not everyone can tell, but it is something that many evaluate.

Yes, it's a status signaling mechanism, but it is a part of culture whether you like or not.

These kinds of evaluations happen not just with executives in suits but also with youth and their ridiculous athletic shoes. Even gender-wise, women are apt to notice minute details of shoes.

Sure, some people can work longer than others but they also may get sick more often then. A friend of mine used to work 10h/12h and then game at night but was chronically ill with his skin. It only really got better when he went on vacation.

The 40h work week has been introduced by Henry Ford 100 years ago because even in factories with dumb menial work people were getting tired and breaking more than making after 40h.

In creative industries that require programming, graphic design, writing etc. you can't assume that people will be doing good work for as long as factory workers do who only have to focus on the same repetitive tasks.

Show HN: A guitar tab viewer that listens
I'm certain he's also criminally liable for the victim getting shot in the leg.

It's a violent crime with a lot of premeditation.
Hi everyone. I'd like to introduce you to a side project I've been working on for a little while now.

FATpick (https://www.fatpick.com/) is a practice tool for guitar (and bass) that helps you learn to play new songs, improve your skills and stay motivated to keep playing. It's an auto-scrolling tablature viewer, synchronized with backing tracks, that listens as you play along with any guitar, providing immediate feedback on your accuracy and timing.

FATpick will eventually be much more than that - there are a lot of directions to take this in - but even with this more modest scope this M(+)VP release is useful, cohesive and hopefully compelling in and of itself.

A couple of things that might be interesting to HN: (1) So far this has been a bootstrapped, solo effort; but it won't necessarily stay that way. (2) The current Windows and Mac apps are built with Electron; but they won't necessarily stay that way either. I'd be happy to discuss any of that if you are interested.

A direct link to the downloads page is here: https://www.fatpick.com/support/downloads#get-fatpick

You can find a brief (and silent) video of the app in action on either of the pages linked above.

I'd love your feedback on any part of this, but I'd especially appreciate it if you can give the app a try.
I thought the same until I read the article. The headline is pretty crap tbh. It wasn't a normal domain hijacking, he sent in an armed accomplice who pointed his gun at the victims head and threatened to kill him if he didn't transfer it. The victim was injured during a struggle and the accomplice was shot dead.
I agree. They claim `make` is simple, but it really isn't. PHONY targets are one example.

Unfortunately I've looked for an alternative and didn't really find anything very good. I eventually settled on a Python 3 script. Python 3 is reasonably nice to use with type annotations. It doesn't require compilation and its speed is fine if you're using it to drive other build systems, rather than as a build system itself. Way more people understand Python than Make, and it is a full programming language so you don't get stuck when you want to do something complicated.

It doesn't have a build in DAG task system but I'm sure there are a million libraries for that. I haven't had need of that yet, but a quick search turned out https://pydoit.org/ which looks ok.
Petty crimes can exponentially escalate if some particular aggravants are present. Example:

1. Steal something from a store.
2. Bring a gun.
3. Show it.
4. Discharge it.
5. Injure someone.
6. Kill someone.

Each of these things make your punishment much harsher, even if your initial thing was to just steal a chocolate bar (1).
Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. If you want to object to websites that allow codeblocks don't visit those websites, and if you do bring inferior devices to read with then don't complain.

HN is one of the most readable websites out there as of today and the degree of bitching about details such as these is infuriating, just look at the ad plastered animated bs you see elsewhere and then realize how trivial this particular gripe is.

Rendering is mostly a client side affair, you have all the control you need to make it look any way you want.
> Namely signs.

Signed arithmetic is elegant enough in binary, I guarantee you will fail to express even basic arithmetic concepts in balanced ternary to any lay person.

As for experts implementing them in a system, there are advantages to balanced forms, but good luck finding enough experts. The benefits probably start kicking in for very large integers, where the carry itself can take longer than you might like.
I was present at two demos Zubair did and it really looks promising.

I've seen some tools like that and the big non-tech problem was always how to sell. Indeed there are a lot of developers that wouldn't use such tool, but there is a huge market that can benefit from it and it's awesome to see Zubair aiming on the right spot and with one of the best approaches: Open Source!

I'm closely looking forward to see Pilot reaching the cloud :)
