I understand what your saying but when your storing millions of images and transferring them frequently those small reductions in size are very significant when you get your storage and/or transit bill at end of month. A lot of the fluff and filler you mentioned is compressed and cached, so your not bringing it down every request and not in raw form. Even if you are sending a huge amount of uncachable stuff with each request it doesn’t mean savings wouldn’t be appreciated. It’s funds for a team lunch if nothing else!
Thank you very much!

My idea was to get the reader started as quickly as possible. I wrote a book which I hoped existed when I was learning awk.

I mostly learnt awk from the gawk manual and internet. So I wrote down a long list of awk commands while I learnt.

Then I sorted them according to concept and then wrote the text surrounding it
I always thought that the Internet with its „collective wisdom“ would make it more difficult to sell snake oil to unwary consumer, but now I think the opposite is true.

It’s crazy how many pseudo-scientific gadgets are hyped up by social media these days. Here in Germany we have startups like “Mitte” that wants to sell “personalized water” produced using smart purifiers and some rather sketchy marketing (https://mitte.co). They were really successful on Kickstarter (where else) but seem to be in financial trouble now. Maybe that’s not surprising since Germany (like many European countries) has really good drinking water, so apart from making the water softer by removing calcium carbonate (which is also only a problem in some regions) there’s really not much you can do to improve a basic product like water.

I wonder what’s next after air and water though...
Best Cyber security books To Read In 2020
Im afraid that while this seems logical, it's not how the real world actually is. I've known of many heads of departments with rather grand titles and only a very small percentage of them even know the slightest of what goes on below them or why.
Heads of IT, software departments and even CIOs that cant even login.
In fact, they often move to similar roles in other companies because the new companies believe they must be good to be in that seniority of the current company. When in fact the current company just can't wait for them to go.
After a couple of these moves, they have a whole career of senior positions in immpressive companies.

What sorts of preparations would you consider adequate--other than not holding the event? While some things are being cancelled or postponed, the fact is that there are events and travel still happening more or less as usual around most of the world. People are still taking public transit. People are still going into offices. Sporting events are going on. I honestly have trouble distinguishing most of the events that have been cancelled (outside of Asia) from those that are going on.

For example, there was just a ~45,000 person security conference held in SF last week.
Probably pen testing primarily. Very similar to a rubber ducky tool.
Hey I am all for the industry voluntarily policing itself. Reading further into the article reveals that is action is warranted but not followed up on that NAD will refer the issue to the FTC who has the force of law behind it if they find in agreement with the assessment.

From the wire cutter review:

###

Molekule claimed at the time that its “scientifically-proven nanotechnology outperforms HEPA filters in every category of pollutant.”

Our tests proved otherwise. The Molekule turned in the worst performance on particulates of any purifier, of any size, of any price, that we have tested in the seven years that we have been producing this guide.

Not long after we published our findings, that statement was removed from the Molekule website.

Guide author Tim Heffernan asked Molekule CEO Dilip Goswami why. He answered, “the point about ‘in all categories’ is that we see a device that outperforms across all of the categories. Right? So we’re not trying to say that individually, on any particular metric, we would be number one. Right? What we’re saying is, when you look across all the categories, we outperform HEPA. Right? And that’s what we’re attempting to convey with that. And so—it’s fair to say that we needed to re-examine some of the language to make sure that it’s saying what we’re intending to say.”

This seems like it rises to the level of criminally false?

Miracast for the first two, not sure what you mean by reusing Wi-Fi but the various forms of what that can mean are pretty well covered as well (Wi-Fi Direct, adhoc, hotspot). The WiGig alliance (later with the Wi-Fi alliance) also have tons of standard protocols for sharing just about anything over 60 GHz Wi-Fi.
Thank you for your suggestions. I'll keep them in mind while updating tutorial

You can make an air purifier as good as molekule with a $15 box fan, $3 20x20 air filter, and four pieces of duct tape. Come at me.
To echo other replies, ketogenic and other diets diets with specific protocols (IF) do work, but primarily for behavioral reasons. That is, you’re just not that hungry. Or if you eliminate an entire meal (IF), you ”save” a ton of calories.

Yes there are subtleties around actual macronutrient composition and gut flora, but the effect appears to be minimal. Find a keto person eating 5000 calories of bacon per day and I guarantee they’re not losing weight.

For what it’s worth: I’m a big fan of keto for cuts.
> If you’re skeptical of this try dropping your caloric intake by 30% for two weeks and tell me how you feel :)

I’ve done so for three weeks this month because of money issue (only one real very balanced meal a day, few biscuits on the evening) while also increasing physical exercise (walking between 5 to 7km a day) and I plan to adopt a similar diet for a longer time. The hunger was not very hard the manage and I even felt better than before. Overall I feel I have been more productive than usual. I also have sleep issue but I felt consistently less sleepy during the day than previously when eating a lot.
To give command-line arguments to a PostScript program in Ghostscript, you must prefix the name of the PostScript file with two minus signs, such as:

gs -dNODISPLAY -q -- cat.ps helloworld.txt

(The -dNODISPLAY and -q are not needed to get this PostScript program to work, but -dNODISPLAY disables graphical output, and -q avoids Ghostscript's messages getting mixed in with the PostScript program's output. You might also need -dNOSAFER; if you get a invalidaccess error, try that. As far as I know, ARGUMENTS and -- are a feature specific to Ghostscript.)
If you're being harmed by false advertising as a competitor you can pay them $10,000-35,000 to look into it and issue one of these.
> One should have the goal of patient outcomes. The other should have the goal of high speed, highly available access. Both of those are things the government should entice through it's regulatory framework.

You're not describing a free market. In a free market the goal is always just to make the most amount of money possible. Once you've achieved that goal, you can just drop prices, absorb losses via debt, and freeze out competition. That's why free markets don't work and need heavy regulation.
>YAML ... do not validate existing json blobs

YAML 1.2 is a strict superset of JSON. What do you mean by "validate" here?

>I would plead that everyone stop using YAML. It's terrible at everything.

Fair enough.

>jsonnet is a template language for a serialization format. Who would choose that nightmare?

People who are tired of Jinja2 and YAML but don't want to jump to a general purpose programming language?

>widespread library support

JSON5 is implemented in Javascript, Go, and C#. Not sure how "widespread" that is. Rust, C, Python, Lua, Java, and Haskell are missing out on the fun.
Wow being a graduate student is closed-shop in the US?! That’s crazy I never knew that. How does that square with academic and political freedom? A student who researches union abuse must join and fund a union!
Sounds to me more like Scottish Power is a scam run by the mob. Not entirely sure of the law in Scotland but I would publicize this theory and see if SP files a lawsuit which would open them to discovery.
>For me, simply, it's easier to eat less calories if I intermittent fast. For some reason, if I don't eat breakfast or lunch, I find my hunger is actually sometimes lower, and I don't need to eat a bigger dinner to make up for it.

That has been my experience as well. I feel full a lot more quickly with IF. Even if I fall off the wagon sometimes, I can count on IF as a quick way to fix overeating.
> Attention seekers include academics vying for the limelight or media vying for ad revenue.

Classifying the most educated people on the subject as "attention seekers" is so dangerous. I can't believe we're still at this stage.

Random HN readers may not be able to identify this person, but one of their coworkers might. How would you feel if you went to the hospital with suspicious symptoms during the height of epidemic hysteria and one of the employees started posting tidbits about you on the Internet?

How many people might avoid going to the hospital with symptoms of this or something else because they don’t want to risk a gossiping employee outing then on the Internet?
Sometimes I miss C++'s flexibility from the managed languages that usually use, then I remember that the community is now driven by the performance at all costs crowd, without exceptions, RTTI, STL and let that thought go.

That is not the C++ I enjoy using, rather the language I got to love via Turbo Vision, OWL, VCL, MFC, Qt, which is not what drives the language nowadays.
Not a big fan of The Friedman Doctrine either. I think a company needs to fulfill two roles: be profitable, and have a positive impact on the planet.

I don't believe it's ethical to externalize that responsibility in pursuit of more profit and growth.

That's why I included what Andrew Mason said about Groupon.

Is Groupon really a better company simply because it makes more revenue? I don't think so, but if you're only using 1 dimension to measure, then that's the conclusion you'll come to.
My reaction might not be worth the price of admission, because it's exactly as you'd expect: this is great, diligent, responsible work -- and if the Titan M firmware had been open, it seems likely that the author would have been able to get to root cause (or much closer to it). This in turn would have in turned tightened Google's response time, led to a better fix faster, etc.

That said, there are several reasons for optimism.

1. OpenTitan.[1] On the one hand, this is not about opening up extant Titan implementations so much as developing next-gen Titan in the open -- but it is nonetheless a laudable and important effort and it is increasingly reasonable to expect that the hardware roots-of-trust of the future will be entirely open.

2. Open firmware more generally. The Open Source Firmware Conference[2] this past fall was truly inspiring in terms of the broad interest from the industry: while there is much work to be done, there is more reason than ever to believe that it's attainable.

3. Rust. It's hard to speculate without knowing what the root cause of this issue actually was, but to the degree that memory corruption was at root here, the emergence of Rust for firmware is an incredibly important development. Speaking personally, if there was any doubt in my own mind about the appropriateness of Rust at this lowest level of software, it has been erased by our own experiences at Oxide over the past few months: Rust is unequivocally the right language for firmware, and it will yield higher quality artifacts.[3]

I find it quite surprising how many companies don't invest enough in having a certain maturity in terms of web analytics, despite they heavily invested in CRM, machine learning and other fields.
Ad-blockers are still not considered a fact in data gathering nor in QA or, in the best case, just a minor singularity.
Despite different sources agree on a +30% of usage, at least in Europe, they're still ignored.
Still many business decisions are based on solutions like GA.
If decisions were to be taken on any other source, let's say polls, marketing studies, etc., after being warned of a 30% of uncertainty, people would be very reluctant to choose A over B. This is not the case for web analytics, it seems.
Now technology has evolved and any medium size company should harvest their own data (yes, stop giving away some of your most valuable data to third parties, please!).
I found so much of math I had learned previously in the “it’s weird but this works if you take it on faith” sense was suddenly blatantly obvious after learning some abstract algebra. I wish I had learned that stuff way earlier.

In the case of complex numbers, I find the “paradox” disappears when you think of it in terms of fields abstractly. To put it maybe a bit overly simply - instead of focusing on the idea of “square roots of negative numbers”, instead step back and consider that number-like operations make sense for things that aren’t numbers at all in the traditional sense. One particularly useful example is 2d vectors, which you can add in the usual sense and “multiply” in polar form by multiplying “r” and adding “theta”. It turns out that these vectors with these operations act a LOT like numbers, and it also turns out that that weird multiply operation is actually super useful. One easy interpretation is combined scale and rotation transforms, with “multiplication” implementing composition.

Once you do that, it also turns out that solving equations like “what transformation composed with itself equals a 2x scaling with 180° rotation?” also make sense (i.e. “solve x^2 = -2”), and when you solve polynomials in this new system you get more solutions than you did for regular numbers. And that the thing you just invented IS the field of “complex numbers”.

Your prefernce is fine. This is about rights -- the right to not need the vendor to repair your own property. They intentionally made them very hard to repair so you need them, you need their stores.

I was trying to say I would rather pay 5x more to do it myself. And if it was not for their intentional sabotage,there is no way having them repair it would be cheaper. There will always be cheaper lower quality batteries from china,not needing specialized tools also means $0 labor cost!

This is one of the main reasons I hate(and I don't mean that casually) apple as a company. How dare they tell you what you can and cannot do with your own property? How dare they sabotage their products so that customizing it in any way or in this case even repairing it becomes difficult,it's your property now,not theirs! Imagine getting takeout food where adding salt would ruin or poison the food because the chef wants to control your ability to customize the food to your taste! Intentional sabotage should carry a severe legal penalty. Property rights matter, the right to sell a product to consumers however is not a right but a privilege companies like apple enjoy by the good will of the governments that represent the people.

Show HN: GoodPods – Goodreads for Podcasts
and yet the UI performance of simple things like scrolling are a total disaster.. how can you get anything fancy with those performance ?
I'm back after posting TinyPress here 4ish years ago. Thanks for the feedback on that project, really was amazing.

## What to check out on Goodpods:

- Check out the awesome search page!

- Check out the library feature and ability to see description for podcasts quickly

- Check out profile page

## A few notes:

- MOBILE NOT SUPPORTED. THIS ALPHA INCLUDES DESKTOP VERSION OF WEB APP. SORRY :(

- It's on the $7/month heroku hosting for now. And images
aren't cached locally - so give the pages a few seconds to load please.

- The search page specifically needs a few seconds to load.

- This is early early alpha (v0.5), releases are rolling out daily to update UI & functionality.

- There will be more GoodReads functionality coming. I have a full social posting and networking feature set that is 100% done and tested, just not quite where I'd like it somehow, so I turned that off in the app for now. At this point the app is all about discovering podcasts and maintaining your library.

- Also please note most things on the site are temp - not final - including the logo and name of the site itself.

I'll be gone for most of the day traveling, but lmk how I can improve this. I'm SUPER interested in feedback and constructive criticism.

Thanks all.

What's the actual lock on? The unwinding shouldn't involve shared mutable state (as someone who's been deep into the DWARF unwinding VM bytecode).
It's not different, all companies are like this. That doesn't make it any better though...

Success is mostly based upon who you know and being at the right place at the right time. That's why it's disingenuous to suggest you can "teach" how to be successful with blog posts like this -- you can't teach someone how to be born into the right family so they can attend the right school and meet the right people.

>How could you be a good data science leader if you are not a good data scientist?

The job of a Data Science leader at a growing company is 50% recruiting and 50% sitting in planning meetings. Even if you started with good IC knowledge after a few years your skills will be rusty as hell. So assuming you know nothing and trusting your team and delegating is going to work infinitely better than trusting your own out of date skills.

edit: And yes, this is from personal knowledge, I've held such titles before and I've had a lot of offers for other such titles.

edit2: As a corollary, promoting someone to management just because they're a good IC is a really bad idea. You want your top ICs to stay ICs if possible. You want your managers to be people who actually can manage and want to manage.

Podcasters are always paid for these product reviews. This is out of the playbook for all DTC companies. I'd recommend and support consumer reports. If you're not paying for a review, more than likely it's paid for by a company.

Even review sites that look like they are ad supported and independent are controlled by these D2C brands. Eg: Casper owns Sleepopolis.

A real minimalist web framework for Node is Koa. Basically anything besides the bare minimum is a separate dependency, so you only install what you need.

That said, it probably means minimalist in a usage sense. Compared to things like Nest.js (which I love, don't get me wrong), express is a lot more straightforward and basic.
