Actually I've had something similar. Samsung charges better with Samsung usb cables (per ATT in store and tmobile in stores ppl). But the Samsung USB cables are realllllly poorly labeled. Like suspiciously so.
Is there any country where that(more liberal city, more conservative countryside) isn't the case though?

What if: SEO consultants aren’t gaming system, but the search and web is being optimized for “measurable immediate economic impact” that is ad revenue at this moment — due to web itself being in-monetizable and unable to generate value.

I don’t like the whole concept of SEO, I don’t like the way the web is today, but I think we should stop and think before resorting to “immoral few is destroying things, we unfuck it reclaim what we deserve” type simplification.

"Light and Color in the Outdoors" by Marcel Minnaert. The book goes into the physics of a lot of outdoor phenomena; you will be amazed at the things you never noticed or thought about before reading it.

"The History and Social Influence of the Potato" is a pretty good time.

"Politics of Qat: The Role of a Drug in Ruling Yemen" may sound way too niche, but it's fascinating as a study of transportation in a drug economy. Qat is a perishable leaf (like salad) and the politics of the entire region depend on who can more reliably deliver it to gunmen.
OT but does ytdl violate YouTube's tos? I'd guess so as it skips the ads. Can it be used commercially, say?

"Yes, Boeing killed hundreds of people due to their negligence, but think of the cost savings!"
I don't think it makes sense, because the maximum penalty due to the tranitions is fairly low (~30 us out of 650 us, and only under pretty much a malicious load that transitions at exactly the right points), and mostly you want the higher frequencies when you can get them: they quickly overwhelm the small transition periods.

Also, someone indicated to me in private correspondence that even when the frequencies are manually set so no transition takes place, the throttling periods may still take place (which makes sense since the required voltage may still be higher).

Exactly the same thought here: I absolutely love the idea, but my first and most important criterion for a note taking app is that it doesn't have vendor lock-in. Even if the display code is proprietary, I want access to the underlying data. Also I want a version that works offline.
MIT Podcast with Kyle Vogt (Cruise)
He wrote a similar book called Mindfull Attraction Plan for none male audience.
The Priceless Gift by Cornelius Hirschberg, a very down-to-earth book by a man who gave himself an education by reading books on the New York subway. Although a bit dated, it includes great recommendations on how and what to read to become a widely read and curious person. Very motivating too!
Typically dynamic content doesn't change from second to second, it changes after 5 minutes or an hour or 1 day, actually it is extremely site specific too.

But I do like your idea.

To go a bit further on your idea - you could apply machine learning to analyse the changes. So for example, ML could determine what is probably the "content area" of the page simply by having built out a NN for each website that self-expires the training data at about 1 month (to account for redesigns over time).

The major problem will still be "ads" in the middle of the content, especially odd scroll designs ads that have a different "picture" at each scroll position, as well as video ads that are likely to be different at each screen shot.

Another form of ad being the "linked" words like when you see random words of the paragraphs becoming links that go to shitty websites that define the word but show a bunch of other ads.

I suppose Google could simply install UBlock in it's training data collector harness to help with that stuff. >()
Tesla driver dies after car bursts into flames in Pleasanton crash
When people write games for ie. Steam, I assume they either use a 3D engine or something custom written in C++ for OpenGL, DirectX or Vulkan.

When people write interactive 3D graphics for the web, there's ThreeJS and WebGL.

Where does WebAssembly games using I/O devices fit in all of this?
That also could mean, while the abort system said "shut down", the thing that said "get away" was not directly connected, but still using sensor/telemetry inputs as the decision maker.

Also, I'm really interested in knowing if the fireball was performed by the automated abort system.

I would love these to be the answer, so looking forward to clarification.
The problem with "professionals" is that they are not incentivized to help you fix root causes either.
>> - free, for entertainment purposes, is in my opinion one of the most amazing things going at present.

Except that it isn't. All that classic NASA space footage was shared because it was copyright-free. As products of the US federal government they were not subject to copyright protection. They were transmitted and used everywhere. When "The Six Million Dollar Man" or "Buck Rogers" wanted to use NASA launch footage (or USAF crash footage) they just did. No questions asked.

SpaceX footage isn't from the US fed. It is private and therefore protected copyright. It cannot be used anywhere anytime. We all must ask SpaceX for permission. Use it in a manner that SpaceX disagrees with and you can expect lawyers. You wont see the failure footage from SpaceX ever used as nasa footage was used by countless scifi productions.

So no, this is no amazing thing. While modern footage is a visual feast, in terms of freedom it is a step down from what we once had. I think those running TV news networks (or youtube, or any other distribution network) would rather return to the old system whereby they could use footage however they liked. We won't ever see SpaceX crash footage used for much of anything.

Yup my first though and drawing a pixel with SDL is pretty easy comparatively.

SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer(800, 600, 0, &window, &renderer);

SDL_RenderDrawPoint(renderer, 400, 300); //Renders on middle of screen.
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);

There's also SDL bindings in a bunch of languages, a few official ones here

as an engineer I can function ok in a PM context. actually appreciate seeing how the product is used by the customers, and understanding the strategy of the business and exploring the options.

The overpressure from the burst helium COPV ruptured the second-stage tanks and spilled the contents. We didn't really see clouds of unburnt fluids or gases this time, it was an explosion right from the start. That's what I meant when I said it looked different this time.
Well, just write a simple C++11 lambda that uses a reference capture, and store that lambda somewhere and watch your app crash when it that lambda runs after the referenced object is gone. Even if you stick with writing no "new" or "delete" in your code, just as good modern C++ encourages, this simple problem will always be there, and it doesn't just affect lambdas, though that's the sneakiest place it often happens.

Of course you can avoid these problems very easily, but you have to be bitten by them first to know how easy they are to write.
> I also enjoy reading what people though the computing future would be like

This prompts me to propose (although it's not obscure) "Artificial Intelligence: The Very Idea" by John Haugeland. It's an AI textbook that is extremely readable and inviting - the best I've seen as a purely readable text, though probably far too basic for most readers here - but that is entirely drawn from the realm of "good old-fashioned AI", i.e. things like logic systems that have very little in common with what is understood as practical AI nowadays. Combine the readability of the book with the apparent hopelessness of its premise, and you have a perfectly nostalgic experience.
The 737 MAX issue wasn’t Boeing cheaping our though. It was Boeing trying to avoid recertification so it was a drop in for existing 737 customers. In other words, Boeing was trying to target the airlines that cheap out and did something stupid to get there.

This wasn’t a quality problem. This is was a failure to recognize (or willful hiding) the importance of training pilots on MCAS.

That is exactly what I mean. For $10,000 I don't think anyone is going to be looking for the answers to those questions. For $10,000,000 people might start asking these questions.

I definitely do think that what was described would be illegal in most districts in the US. Forget about the implementation. The organizer says "Hey bid on the jackpot, the last bidder gets to take the whole thing." and then they walk away with the jackpot. The question is who's laws did the organizer break?
No, I have never used an ad blocker, and I know plenty of people who aren’t bothered to either.

I am pretty UX-focused, but I don’t frequent any sites were I would think: god, this is unusable because of the ads. (I do find sites where UX is bad for other reasons)

My current biggest annoyance is that I was trying to hack something on iOS, opened bunch of medium articles and now I am being forced to pay for it, which I’m pretty sure would not be warranted given my usage of it. (I do pay for other services where provided value outweighs cost, like say Spotify). I’d take ad-supported Medium over pay-wall Medium any day (as a customer, maybe as a producer ads would not be a viable model).
We’re here to discuss the latest Musk-backed company’s achievement. There’s a huge interest in all things Musk. To the point that everything he does seems widely related - I mean how many people here are rooting for his dream of a Mars colony? So I asked whether it could affect another Musk company. It’s related.
I don't think it's a wrong characterization, imo. The problem with the MAX isn't necessarily the MCAS, but the culture and business/engineering processes that allowed MCAS to go all the way to production and allowed the company to convince their customers not to implement pilot training. There are multiple levels of failure beyond just MCAS being a thing, and the emails might suggest that (some of?) these systemic issues are also affecting the design of the 777x.

So much pessimism. I think it's great a private for profit corporation is doing as much as it is given it has no obligation to do so.
Indeed, your struggle is apparent.
Thanks, but isn't that just the backend/API? I should've stated this, but what really triggered the comment was the React frontend. There's a lot of churn in the JS/React world.
The amount of memory used in the execution of the program doesn't seem as important, and biases against games played on larger boards for no real reason. At the extreme end, you'd say that Conway's Game of Life takes infinite memory and is thus of infinite complexity because it occurs on an unbounded board, yet, the actual rules are very small and simple to implement.
I've read this and it changed my life. And I've bought a few copies for people, and on one occasion had (what was at the time an acquaintance.....heck lets not be opaque it was the bar back at my favorite bar) hug me and cry saying the book helped him not be suicidal. That it changed his life and brought him back from the brink while struggling with a crippling physical disability that was emerging in his early 20s.

I've read a LOT of these books. And there's a few in CBT that are helpful (including this one). There's DBT. There's practical self esteem work (confidence is repeated domain specific success). There's some philosophical work that helps. Lifting heavy weights helps. A blood test from privatemdlabs where you can see everything inside you (if you can afford it) helps. Nutrition helps. Sleep helps. Etc.

But feeling good, which has to be 20 to 30 years old, by far is the most effective thing I've ever seen.

Pro tip: type up the excersizes (or google them) and try journaling them into an evernote. The progress is 10x faster. 2 months of feeling good probably did as much as a few years of weekly CBT counseling.

Strongly recommend.
Ask HN: How to Move to SF as a British Engineer?
I'm currently working in London as a frontend engineer and am interested in moving to SF/Bay Area.

I would like to know whether anyone has experience of doing this successfully, particularly if they have secured a startup job as opposed to working at a big company, and what their advice for someone else trying to make a similar move might be.

Options as I see them atm:
- Work for a big tech company in UK and then transfer to SF
- Start my own company and use that as an entry point

From online research, it doesn't look like a startup job hire would give me much chance of success due to visa issues and time scales but I would love to be corrected on this.
MCAS is the dumb bandaid they invented to save money on pilot retraining. Turns out that bandaid was so poorly built it killed people.

In the 777x It's not exact same software system, but the exact same "cheapest option on the menu every time" mindset that seems to be pervading Boeing and causing lots of problems.
I don't see anything unhealthy about it. The mindset sees people as people. Nobody is especially special and everyone is simply Themself. Ever seeing others as More Impressive somehow is what is toxic.

You seem to imply that I am insecure about my lack of success or skill in relation to others? And that I wish to bring others down to defend against this insecurity?

Fundamental misunderstanding - we speak different languages and hold different values. I never compare myself to others and am very happy with my life and the way I'm going about it.

And if someone regarded me in this way, I would reject it and tell them to cut it out.
I have a really old Nexus 6p. I'm definitely willing to help, but I bet it's just part of having a really old phone.

>the syntax of python will remain a great inspiration for readability if they don't make the same mistakes. it always amazes me to see people from all levels read python the first time and get it.

Oh please. I like python and use it a lot, but it's readability can be awful.

Constructs like 'delimiter_string'.join( list_var ) may have logic behind them, but the readability for someone accustomed to OOP paradigms is backasswards.

Comprehensions are quite powerful, but ironically they're nearly incomprehensible.

Lambdas are a sad sad attempt at closures/anonymous functions.

There are many conventions in python made early on that have not aged well in regards to readability.
With protobufs you get bytes that you have to parse with defined rules on what to do with unexpected and missing fields.

How’s it different from the proposed model where you start by parsing the data you receive and, once it’s parsed and know it’s good, you process it?
Can you share this? I've been meaning to do something very similar for the longest while and haven't got around to it.

By and large, today the congestion problem is not really on the massive roads themselves, but where they interface with low-capacity local networks. Most destinations are not located on a limited access road by definition, and the busy exit into city center with lots of pedestrians is not going to get any less congested, AVs or not.

In modern Western urban planning, large car-capacity streets aren't considered a good thing to be running through urban areas anyways. Most of the large cities (Paris, Berlin, New York) are taking steps to reduce road widths to more equally distribute the road between pedestrians, cyclists and transit users. As it turns out, building pedestrian overpasses at a convenient enough spacing for pedestrians is extremely expensive.
>Illegal concentrates led to 57 deaths

Which those numbers are from black market cartridges, and not legal ones CDC recently confirmed.

While, Number of alcoholic liver disease deaths: 22,246 and Number of alcohol-induced deaths, excluding accidents and homicides: 35,823 (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/alcohol.htm)

But there is a problem with Cannabis? Hell no, how about look at the deaths related to just alcohol. Too much money behind it, so no one wants to touch it. Typical politicians not looking at all the facts.

>Washington state lawmakers wants to slash the allowed potency of all non-medical cannabis concentrates, limiting THC levels to no more than 10%.

That would mean that every grower would have to get new clones/seeds. That's not going to happen.
>>It's a bigger expectation to suppose that the car will perceive the environment better than a person would and make correct on-the-fly decisions about traffic signs when snow obscures the sign and a little bit of ice and muck obscures its cameras ever-so-slightly, making some of the sensors go half-berserk.

Then it should do the same a person is required to do in that scenario - slow down and exhibit caution. Otherwise you will get a car that confidently drives forward because it "knows" a sign is there. If the sensors can't cope with that then the car shouldn't be on the road at all, period.

>>Why shouldn't local authorities, state DOTs, and the national DOT be obligated to also update a database that self driving cars use?

Because the same local authorities don't even have the budget, time or competency to fix the most minor issues with our roads. Potholes go unfixed for weeks, there's no budget for cleaning, for salting, for repair of missing signs, lamp posts or simply for review whether existing signage is actually appropriate after changes they make. But yet the same authorities should be tasked with real time updates to some database of signage? I'm sorry, but I'm just trying to be realistic here - we can write legislation to require authorities to do something, but in real world that's just not going to happen reliably enough to trust it. I know I wouldn't.
What features of an unmarked dirt path make it "driveable" that you can pick out but a camera cannot?
Ignition is a killer feature, so much better than cloud-init, glad to see it surving and being actively worked on.
I'm suggesting that, compared to what you'd pay to do these things for yourself, 30% is a steal. There's a reason people are ok with paying it.
Funny coincidence, I bought the Minnaert book recently! Especially as a rendering engineer, it's absolutely fantastic.
As an R&D focused company operating across a wide range of areas we have tried a few things. We are not explicitly focused on written discussions but do want results to be documented. We have tried many things from wikis to clipboards, Github issues to formal verbose documents, and settled on markdown files on Github. Usually we have a group meeting, discuss things, take notes either directly to a markdown file or transfer them quickly to a markdown file, then expand thinking there including approaches tested, findings, test results, conclusions. We like the format because it allows linking to other internal systems (accounting, other repos, etc.) plus integrating media. Edit history and access control comes free.

Yizhak Sadai, formerly head of the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, was a brilliant teacher and philosopher. Many of the best musicians in Israel studied with him at some point during their career, even if for a brief period of time (As a recent example: Tom Oren, winner of the last Thelonious Monk Piano Competition, was his student for a year or so). I had the privilege to study with him for a year, and this book used to accompany our lessons.

The book is a thorough explanation of western harmony in its very basic aspects, from first principles. It also includes criticism of other, more famous music theory books, which is very interesting. One thing I love about it is how every theoretical concept comes first from what is perceived (hence "phenomenological"). A brief example of that is how some chords, which look like dominant chords if you look only on their notes, are sometime subdominant chords, because of the context in which they are played.

Some quotes:

On the approach of the book: "The conventional analytic approach as taught in academies is based primarily upon the depiction of the WRITTEN content of a composition by means of symbols and concepts inherent to the accepted analytic code. This analysis however, which describes mainly what is SEEN, does not always succeed in describing what is HEARD - the perceptual musical essence"

His definition of tonality which I loved so much that I had to memorise it: "Tonality constitutes the organisation of a given number of tones in a manner which creates among them differences of kinetic potential."

I love the idea. However I tried playing with the product for a while and there's no way I can recommend any of my friends to use this in lecture. It uses 70% CPU and 10% GPU causing the fans to spin up. I've found that outlets can be rare when taking and reviewing notes so high power use is a non-starter.
