> The court gave a short deadline because it should have been done a while ago already.

This isn't logical. When you order someone to comply with something, you give them the amount of time it takes to do the task. If you want to punish them - fine them. Ordering them to do something impossible and then criticising them for failing is just intentionally setting them up to fail.

...so the only logical response is for them to suspend operations.
This weekend I was lucky enough to witness Revision 2020 demo compos on Twitch. It was really a warming experience, as I'm an old-gen scener myself. Still some familiar names (e.g. Jogeir, Romeo Knight) out there producing top-notch stuff!
Guess it’s almost time to list my classic style iPhone SE 128GB on eBay...
I had a similar gig where a small local business wanted to integrate their Shopify store into their existing Django app. It was very easy and no BS to deal with like Kubernetes or Javascript build pipelines.

The problem is that I find it very hard to find these businesses, and indeed most of them don't actually have enough work to fill more than a couple of days so you would need a reliable source of these gigs if you want to survive (you can't charge insane amounts to compensate either as these businesses just can't afford it).
True. Examples: Less driving means less vehicular death. We probably have slightly more death due to domestic violence. More or less death from drug overdose. Less contact means less death from the normal flu.
The screen on the old iphone SE (i.e. the iphone 5 body) still seems fine to me when using it with today's content. About a year ago I upgraded from one to an iphone XR but on the occasions I use the smaller phone it still seems fine.
> A low f-stop IS better ... they use a shit ton of glass to improve the image

Meh, they use a shit ton of glass _which introduces aberrations_ which needs more glass to correct.

I bought a 50mm 1.2 ai-s, and sent it back a few days later. The dof is unusable at f1.2 and after f2.8 it looks like any other quality 50mm lens. It vignets like crazy and edges aren't sharp until you stop down to regular apertures. So yeah sure you can shoot a bit better in low light, if you like blurry and soft pics.

> The trade-offs are often worth it.

For pros, maybe, for prosumers and consumers I highly doubt it.
Thanks! this could be a great idea,the 2mm PCB could be an interesting option! We are devoted to 1.6mm PCB since the 5" version that weighs 220g and we haven't had any broken or issue on the PCB piece. The battery is well attached, fixed in 6 well distributed points on the PCB and aligned perfectly in the center of the 4 motors.
I understand your mod decision. I would also recommend looking into the OP's claim. I have to agree, the downvoting on this topic is much more than I am used to, and I get downvoted often! So, it appears there is more than the normal HN audience at work here.
My trick for touchid was to register the same finger in as many slots as possible. Also cross between fingers in the same slot. I think this helped decrease the selectivity while still keeping others out.
The thought of someone I love (in the broadest sense of the word) being affected by this is horrific. I'm really sorry for his family and friends :(

I think that you're kind of right: I know one engineer who is like that and he it's his autism which makes him brilliant. He could operate in deep-thought mode all the time - he is extremely intelligent and extremely focused. There are other people who can hit it for patches - I could do it for 3-4 weeks at a time when I was 21. At 39 I struggle to do it for an hour a month (kids change you more than anything else).

We really know so little about how our minds and bodies work and that's something we need to change. We should be able to identify and fix conditions like this.

Makes me think that some of us here are wasting our abilities on start-ups and systems when we could be working on fixing much more complex systems.
As a lay person, I found this to be a very informative article.

One thing I didn't see mentioned was a recent article that caught my attention - apparently, tobacco may be used as means of production for a potential vaccine [0].

Given that the linked article was published on April 1, I initially thought it to be satire. Upon further consideration, though, it not only seems to be genuine but it makes sense: tobacco is likely one of the best understood plants from a genetic standpoint, with a long history of successful genetic modification using both traditional and modern approaches. It's certainly one of the best understood that also has large-scale production capabilities, and I would imagine that the tobacco industry has more incentive than most to seek the positive PR that this could bring.

Finally, setting aside the greater political context, it seems to me that the FDA under the Trump administration is more flexible and risk-tolerant than any point in my lifetime (and perhaps in living memory). There are certainly many challenges that will have to be overcome before we get to the point that we're able to widely roll out an effective vaccine, but I strongly suspect that this flexibility will result in a speed of development and approval that will surprise many of us. Of course, that speed will come with associated risks, but that's just the nature of things.

I would not be surprised to see widespread voluntary human testing of promising vaccine candidates in the next six months - perhaps even sooner if a promising candidate ends up being derived from the past few years' work in creating a vaccine for SARS-CoV-1.

My wife is feeling the same anxiety - she'd usually get 90 day fills at the pharmacy and they've scaled it back to 30 day fills... which is great because folks with autoimmune diseases really should be going to the pharmacy more often.
> it's still a bad idea to make them visibly outcast by withholding a decent phone.

Where does it end though? A phone in one thing; what about a video game console, or pricey sneakers or brand name clothing from the top streetwear brands?

Rvery day I'm feeling a little more grateful that we had school uniforms where I went. The materialist one-upsmanship was insane even then, but at least for 8 hours/day people weren't walking billboards for "look at how much my parents have spent on me".
> The only feature I miss from all other editors is the incredible speed of Sublime Text: to this day, if I ever have to edit an SQL dump (which I hope I will never ever have to do again), I'm surely reaching for Sublime Text, no other editor can AFAIK open a 200+MB file without freezing and/or crashing.

I just tried opening a 1.1GB SQL dump in vim. It took 11 seconds or so to open. That was pretty slow, but after it opened, it was pretty fluid. I could jump to the end or the middle of the file in an instant and move around like it was nothing.

EDIT: I just grew it to 10GB, and though it took longer to open, vim still works fluidly after it does. Saving the file does take about a minute or two, though.

I was surprised to find that ex wasn't able to open the 1.1GB file. It returns an error actually saying that the file is too large. Since feedback is very minimal, I would have expected it to work by loading the file incrementally in a small buffer like less does without even worrying about the whole thing at the start (no displaying total number of lines, etc.).

ed was able to open the 1.1GB file, but not the 10G one. It returns an error saying that there is no space left on device. I imagine it refers to RAM. That's pretty disappointing.
Vinylshakerz is back with a new single entitled Bangkok(bang bang)
What I meant is that you can find an example in nearly every business of some person (or group of people) getting "screwed over", which is of course subjective. So subjectively, you could make the case that every business is "exploitative" (like the other replier who claims every capitalistic business is exploitative).
It's not a network path, it's a pseudo-device. Windows uses the \\ UNC file paths for a lot more things under the hood than just network access. There's a bunch of rare device file paths that you'll get UNC paths for, and every folder path canonicalizes to at least one UNC path for multiple reasons.

Though it is powering that pseudo-device by a 9p-based file server under the hood, it's not a network accessible path, it's only available to the local system.

The trade-off between WSL1 and WSL2 (and you can have both on the same system and migrate distros both directions between the two) is mostly how often and where do you expect to need to deal with the 9p file server between your operations. In both versions Windows needs to use the 9p server to access Linux files, in WSL2 Linux also needs the 9p server to access Windows files.
So for me to elevate myself into focusing on whats next I have to make sure whats going on now is being taken care of. I see absolutely no value in micro management and if I don't trust my team then I've set them up wrong. BUT I still want to have a pulse check on how they're doing and what I can be doing to help them because I'm still driven by my mission to create a great engineering culture. The L10 meeting is basically a weekly 90 minute session where we go over our metrics that matter (a scorecard that we use to track system health, successful outcomes etc), set and recap any todo's that we've set for the last 7 days (and I emphasize that these are the absolutely essential things we have to get done to keep things running, not extra things on top of existing work) and then time to remove any major blockers by discussing and solving them. Overall, we need to take ourselves out of working in the business (not talking about bugs etc - we have a separate session for that) and work ON the business (infrastructure, identifying current gaps and weaknesses on our team, resourcing etc). It really helps maintain transparency all the way down and also keeps my people empowered to do what they need to do. At the end of the day, I hire smart people to solve the hard problems, not to tell them what to do.

Also, only the world's richest (who have by far the largest carbon footprints) fly today. The comparatively small sliver of emissions it is today will balloon as the world gets richer.
Well, the dimensions are still important because the zoom mode of the iPhone 6s, 7s, 8, and the new SE are the same dimensions as the regular SE.
I agree with the low light photography situation. I have an XR and the only thing that i feel short off is low light photography. I had pixel 2 before this, so low light situation was bit downer. Recently I compared my phone with iPhone 11 from my co-worker, we tried shooting this dark storage location and iPhone 11 definitely is big improvement. But i am planning to keep my phone for at least next 4 years. The rest of the phone is fantastic.
Actually, I find it necessary to charge and listen and the same time pretty frequently (almost daily).

More importantly, though, removing the headphone jack is just plain stupid. Why should I support stupidity with my hard-earned money?
As current user of a Moto E5 Play, this is the first iPhone that I've been tempted to purchase. It delivers a lot of value at a reasonable price.
As penny-pinching consumer, I've started thinking about device longevity. This phone will certainly be supported longer than any Android.
However, my current phone still works, even if the camera is bad and it can be quite slow at times. I can't justify purchasing a new device, especially one that was probably constructed with unethical labor.
It's easier to fake, but it's still not the same. By that, I mean that the final image might have that look, but you can't do anything with it after the fact. With a RAW image with true dynamic range, you can do whatever you want with it and change it up as you wish.

The compression on the images is also another thing contributing to the watercolor look and lack of sharpness. Cell phone cameras are worried about space constraints on the device itself and across the network.
Spam is not sales, and you dont get that many conversions by selling to people who didn't want to buy your thing in the first place.

Most of the enterprise sales cycles I have worked under go from 3 months to a year anyway, and the implementation time might take 8 weeks to a year+ - so drive by spamming doesnt really get results.

> Lots of conflicting research happening

That's my main take-away at this point. I have seen enough reports saying it worked, and enough saying it didn't that I believe the answer is probably somewhere in the middle.

My understanding is the best guess for how it works is by keeping the viral infection from becoming serious enough to require hospitalization. Similar to how proper treatment of wounds early on keeps them from getting to the gangrene stage where you need amputation.

Unfortunately, politics. So the Left wants it to be completely no use at all, and the Right wants it to be a miracle drug. Most of the population really probably just wants effective treatments if they end up getting sick.
Lots of scientists are busy working on Covid19. I'd wager that there are more of them working on Covid19 today than there were working on the Manhattan project then.

The Manhattan project was also, and perhaps mostly, an industrial effort: 90% of the budget went into industrial capability to produce the fissile material, and it took years to achieve.

In industry if you invest twice as much you double your production capability, but in research it does not add up that way. Things do not happen overnight even if you offer to pay more, a la Trump.
This isn't a good idea either: if you're dealing with undefined behavior the way the complier translates your code can change from version to version, so you could end up with a code that works with the current version of GCC but doesn't work on the next. Personally I don't agree with the way GCC and other comipers deal with UB, but this would be off topic.
France is not geared up for spawning an Amazon competitor.

pixel is ded
Over the years I only slowly came to realize something.

When I was purchasing a camera, the body was what you were spec'ing out, and would determine what you could do. The lens to me seemed to be the accessory.

Turns out cameras (bodies) are transient, and lenses persist.

It was as surprising to me as if tires+wheels turned out to be more important than the car.

That said, when it comes to ultra-long lenses, your best bet might be to buy a camera+lens all-in-one like the nikon p1000 / canon sx70hs (focal length + small sensor makes things more achiavable than large DSLR sensors)
Actually do watch it if at all possible.
are able to convincingly fake something like an 85mm f/1.4,

If that were the case we have a good long time then, most likely; Really what you are talking about is how you can't beat the physics of large sensors and lenses; for now 'faking it' isn't anywhere close, but also the techniques being pursued aren't likely to get there.

I suspect in-camera processing though is a bit of a dead end for pro and prosumer cameras because your laptop/desktop is going to be able to do a much better job, and your camera just isn't going to have a good workflow for post-processing and organizing photos.

For phone camera use it makes more sense, because people are rarely doing much more than delete these two, crop this one a little and send it to mom.

Don't get me wrong, phone cameras are having a ton of effort put into them and have way more resources than conventional cameras - but the effort is almost entirely being put into making something small and light work pretty well under most circumstances, not into making something great.

What's more important is that most people don't care for most applications. More people use to buy "good" cameras because their other options were poor or nonexistent. A top of the line current phone camera may not be great, but it's good enough for most people.

I don't know what this means. It could well kill off the "prosumer" market and leave professional cameras an expensive niche product. It just likely won't be because phone cameras got as good at creating pictures.
Yep absolutely, when I see how Facebook is relentless about getting into everything they can get themselves into ( which they have the right to do ) in a plan that almost looks like world domination, I wonder how small startups can survive if these companies try to take them out.

That is all very interesting. If you were drawing sprites, why not use straight openGL?

Do you think it would have worked to organize tiles and threads outside of halide and use halide for isolated parts that are already organized into arrays?

Modern compilers are pretty good, but it's still quite possible for a good human coder to exceed their performance even for normal code.

For really tight algorithms I've still seen humans beat compilers by a lot, though it takes a lot of skill and some domain knowledge of the CPU.

For code that benefits a lot from vectorization, human coders still beat the crap out of compilers. I am not aware of any vectorizing compiler or JIT that can even approach what a human coder can do with SSE, AVX, or NEON (ARM's equivalent). I think these CPU extensions are just too complex for current generation compilers to effectively deal with. They require too much abstract understanding of what's actually happening in the code and the CPU to use really effectively.

I'm a bit surprised that there's been so little attention paid to the opportunities for applying deep learning and other advanced techniques to compiler optimization. It seems like this area is ripe for a new wave of innovation, but it's not happening. I do believe that many companies would pay for an advanced compiler capable of generating code that was significantly faster than stock compilers, but the speedup would have to be more than a few percent to justify spending money on it.

The 5S and the SE for me was mainly about being minimalist.

Size was a big part of it, but it was also that the SE was a really good design that should last for years. Up until this announcement, I was going to have the battery replaced on the SE. The bigger issue is if Apple will continue to support the 1st gen SE with iOS.

My wife prefer the bigger phones. She has aphantasia. I don't, and often hold visualizations of things I can't see.

It eventually dawned on me that people buy those things to attach to the back of their phone because you _couldn't_ safely hold and operate the bigger phone with a single hand without that attachment.
> I am through getting mauled in tech interviews which turned into combat trivial pursuit. I love technology and I still create applications mostly for myself or to help automate my school.

This. Something has definitely changed in the last ~10 to 20 years since the end of the dotcom era of interviewing in the tech industry. Before it was as simple as reading the AUTHORS file in an open-source project like Linux to vouch for a programmer applying to somewhere like Red Hat or Mozilla. But now we are expecting them to write a proof of quicksort's worst-case runtime complexity or to explain the Diffie-Helman public key exchange mathematically on a whiteboard to "see how you think" and "prove programmer ability" which is unnecessarily academic and they either don't use it directly or search on Google for it anyway.

That's just the onsite interviews, pre-interviews are riddled with Leetcode, Hackerrank and Codility tests which can be cheated or the solution can be found on Google. What a shame that these flawed tests still exist.
Yup. I had to get off the hedonic treadmill of phone upgrades. The dopamine isn't worth it.

> What do you think the new subject access rights, notably the right to data portability, are intended to achieve, if you interpret the definition of personal data so narrowly?

I am not going to speculate.

> The GDPR actually defines personal data as "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’)...", which is significantly different to what you wrote.

I can't speculate on what you think qualifies as "significantly different". I copied and pasted my definition from the ICO's website, which I also linked to. You can disagree with them, but I suspect strongly, even in the current Brexit climate, that the EU courts would agree with the ICO's interpretation over yours.

You might find the part that follows the "..." useful though. It's in Article 4 § 1, if you're unaware.

> It seems to be widely understood, including acknowledgement in various statements by EU officials, that these provisions were aimed squarely at businesses like social networks to avoid them locking users in by holding the user's data hostage. That seems to be exactly the scenario we're talking about here.

That may be part of your confusion. "We" weren't talking about anything to do with social networks, but whether a GDPR regulator is going to levy a heavy fine to Trello for this behaviour.
Yup - and said controversial political figure jumped on the guess before the science was in and heavily endorsed it - this is likely leading to widespread misuse of a drug which is know to cause extreme damage to organs including kidneys, livers and eyes when misdosed and taken in excess.
Your Codebase Is Your Garden
Oh yeah. Quite some years ago my wife and I went on a tour through a WW II era submarine. Luckily for us, the docent leading the tour had served on an identical subs in the Pacific theater. Anyway, about 1/2 way through the tour, my wife went top-side. She isn't normally claustrophobic, but has a slight touch of it. The sub was triggering.

The docent was great. "All submariners are pillow-huggers." Everyone but the commanding officer hot-bunked. You shared a bunk, and just about everything else. The things you didn't share were your pillow, your toothbrush (when there was water enough to use it), and the clothes you were wearing. Said clothes being a tee-shirt and shorts which you wore until they rotted off of you and then discarded -- no water to waste on laundering clothes.

Fresh water was made by desalination. Desalination took fuel.
Chinese is pretty efficient as a language. I think there are things that are more obvious in traditional though. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. But beware self bias because you (I'm assuming) grew up with an alphabet based language.
