You're not a bad enough person to understand this wont work:

I've unfortunately known someone who had a psychic problem . If she thought you'd crossed her for anything howvere minor, she'd harass you for years. She always has a list of 20 or so victims.

She had a never-ending list of new friends, and was the most charming person possible to them. She'd get invited home to them, or found some excuse to come by. Then, when the new friend went to make e.g. some coffee, she'd borrow their phone/computer/wifi/... , commit a few minor crimes like the ones in the article, and by the time the coffee came she was back in the sofa and the new friend was none the wiser. It would take a few months before the friend catches on, at which she'd drop them like a stone and find some new friend to suck dry.

Police knows her very well. Every 2 year or so she voluntarily commits herself to a psychiatric institute, at which point the legal system backs off. After 2 weeks she leaves against docters advice and it all starts from 0.
thats actually a good idea! thanks
They began sucking pretty fast. Good riddance.
Being a happy Firefox user and watching all the browser drama from the backyard. I still don't understand why people uses Chrome or Chrome variants claiming privacy things.
Opera is still proprietary, and, uh, also they got caught doing some stuff involving predatory short-term loans to the impoverished in African countries, not to mention their CEO was also involved in an entirely different Chinese conglomerate that was also involved with fraud and some lending thing.

Oh yeah and if you haven't used it since 2006: Opera is Chromium now, and the company behind it got sold a time or two.

I just read an article a couple days ago about how even YouTube widgets and stuff have huge a11y problems. I think it's time to admit Google is terrible at accessibility. All their devrels talk like it's important and have all these beautiful demos but whenever you look behind the curtain at their products it's terrible.
That'd be a pretty big dehydrator / freeze dryer to use. I'm I'm guessing at least a 3-1 if not 5-1 ratio on cheese.
It's a nice story. Claiming violence in Mexico started because of an idiotic plan to trace 2000 guns in the border area in 2006 is absurd.
Ah! That's my error; thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't realized that. I'll edit my comment.
The problem with templating YAML is that you're templating text, in a very sensitive to whitespace syntax. By definition, Jsonnet avoids that because it operates on the data structure, not on their stringified representation.
That's reassuring. I also thought the voltage issue was still a risk. I threw away my OnePlus 2 USB-C cable after reading an article about a guy that researched loads from Amazon.
All: I think it's time to note that semantic arguments about the word "racism" are always the same and always turn nasty in the same way. That makes them off-topic here, as are canned arguments in general: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... They keep discussion stuck in superficial and uninteresting places, and that's the opposite of what HN is for. Curious conversation means exchanging new information.

I don't believe it would function at all without their online services, it actually connects directly to wifi so it's definitely doing something important through that. I haven't looked into it but I bet everything is proprietary all the way up the stack.

And honestly that's fine for me. I don't plan on using this forever, I mainly got it since it is far cheaper than going through an actual therapist to do CBT for insomnia, so I figured I'd try this first.

Another thing to consider: It's definitely a wear item. It's got a fabric construction on the outside that seems to me like it will collect body oil + dirt/grime and it can't easily be cleaned. On the whole it feels kind of delicate. To be fair though, I don't know if it's possible to make a long lasting eeg based sleep tracker that's also comfortable to wear.
DNA and proteins are obviously discrete, so even if the hardware relies on some fundamental analogous behavior, the 'software' and each hardware component can still be analyzed as discrete behavior.

However, for anything operating at human temperatures we can reasonably assume that any effective behavior can be simulated by discrete operations, as any nuances of fundamental analogousness would be drowned by thermal noise and the amount of precision that any behavior can require is rather low, much lower than e.g. any standard floating point number in a discrete CPU.
Many stories feel flat if the antagonist has simplistic or one-dimensional desires.

In basically all of the James Bond movies, the villains want revenge and/or world domination.

In contrast, in Worm [1] you spend some time with the antagonists (and a lot of side characters), and get a much better appreciation of their feelings and motivations. Sometimes you even feel sympathy for very messed-up characters to the degree that it creeps you out. (Fun fact: there's even a chapter from the perspective of a dog. Brilliant! :D)

Having spent at least 5 years fulltime in (each) Android, iOS, and Javascript client development, I'd say they're all about the same from how "shite" they get in a growing project. The magic incantations in gradle just become magic incantations in webpack.config.js and magic incantations in Xcode menus.

If anything, Javascript clients have the advantage of being able to bring your own fundamental abstractions since you're not stuck having to compile your abstraction to a narrow API like UIKit.

Web development gets the worst reputation because it's the only one most people have experience with.
The widely deployed AVC is still AVC Main Profile, which is what Youtube and many other Streaming / Broadcasting uses due to devices compatibility. EVC Baseline is expected ( or claims ) to be 20% better than AVC High Profile. So you should expect ~30% better than current AVC all while being royalty free.

The beauty of EVC baseline is that it is quite power efficient. Considering AVC already require the least computation in modern codec, EVC baseline offer 30% reduction in bitrate while requiring NO increase in decoding complexity and is actually 40 to 50% less in encoding complexity.

Note: None of these has been tested outside of its members as it does not provide a reference encoder due to "new" patents arrangement with this codec. So we have no way to verify those claims.

Edit: Will add the link to document with those claimed figures later.

It’s probably a matter of how Important your application actually is. If it’s dealing with critical numbers or features that have a real cost when it breaks, then the investment into good testing pays for itself.

1. Very funny to be reading this. I grew up in Falmouth, and lived there until 2014 when I graduated highschool. I obviously wasn't incredibly attuned to this issue, but as I recall, the only people opposed to the installation of the turbines were a very small, very vocal, and very, very, wealthy minority of people who owned mind-bogglingly expensive beach houses and lived there two months out of the year. I'm fairly certain a lot of the more reasonable-sounding complaints they threw at the project were simply cover-up for their real gripe, that the turbines ruined their view over the bay. I recall an unintentionally hilarious piece of mockup art that was drafted up, comparing the horizon over the water with and without turbines, side by side. They were barely distinguishable blips. It was an interesting phenomenon. Woods Hole, a tiny community on what is essentially a peninsula near Falmouth, is both a center for oceanographic science (WHOI, USGS -- disclaimer, I've worked at both), and a summer home for the insanely rich. The scientific community was largely in support of the turbines, but all anyone ever heard about was how the turbines would be a huge disaster. As I recall, many of the noise complaints ended up being somewhat unfounded.
They were sold to a chinese consortium, so take that as you will.

Vivaldi is an excellent alternative, and the latest versions of Firefox are far superior imo.

Vivaldi is essentially Old Opera 2.0 in terms of features, focused on power users, created by the same guy as the original Opera, and runs on Chromium.

Still putting my vote in Firefox though.
A comment needn't be wrong to be bad.
Thanks for laying it out so clearly. I'm sorry that you had to go through something so terrible, but it's great that you took it as a lesson; we've been through a lot of shit (earthquakes, civil unrest) and simply don't get it.

At the very least, limit the scope of the language until a standardized toolset is cross-functional. I'm not not throwing shade at UWP right now.
If you could share your product/url, you might get some marketing ideas from HN community.
It avoids the whole set of issues you get with templating yaml with helm since its structure aware.

Also you can actually write pure code libraries in starlark (basically a subset of Python)
Picking up TV and other RF signals near there should not be a problem. Modern transmitters are much different than in Marconi's time. Then they used a spark gap to generate RF, which have a DC to daylight kind of output that GP described. Much like a bad ground on a car ignition system can make a lot of RF noise that really gets around, a spark gap transmitter puts out a signal EVERYWHERE. Which is why it affected so much.

Modern transmitters are tuned and filtered so they can coexist with everything else.
SPA is one of the worst things to happen to the web. There are a small number of instances where it makes sense but it just ruins sites like Reddit, especially on a mobile device.

I'm not sure how gun concern is justification.

Can't help but see US policing demeanour come off as trying to maintain a dominance and show off the alpha. Undermine it and there seems to be conflict.

I can approach a UK officer and undermine their authority publicly, swear and hold contempt, question their immediate presence. Joke and jest about them to their face, name call, occasional swearing and calling them pigs routinely isn't too uncommon. I have done most these things on night outs without fear to my safety or rights.

Policing is definitely different between the US and UK but so are the people behind the uniform. Bigger egos exist in US policing disproportionately.

It's universally considered to be a beautiful bridge. Compare and contrast with the old eastern span of the bay bridge.

It is a suggestion, not a prescription. If the person doesn't like it, they can come up with other techniques.

It's generally not helpful to say "Your plan won't work because of A, B and C" and then leave it at that. Are you trying to find problems or to help?

Don't get trapped into thinking that pointing problems is helping. It's good in school when you're a teacher, but almost nowhere else.

Agreed, I haven't seen or heard anything off kilter with Firefox in a very very long time and they have always been on the forefront of privacy and development features.
Indeed. That is fault of my inexistent experience making "native" UIs -- or maybe the Fyne GUI framework wasn't smart enough.
If rpm/yum fixes much of apts problem, why didn't Ubuntu change for that?
I was a CTO of a company that did scraping to gather data and sell the analysis. We did this for sellers on Amazon.

In short about legality - it depends on the country. But most will define user content as owned by the user, not the platform, therefore legal to scrape and use, as the user intents for the data to be public.

But sites will fight you on this. Amazon specifically give up a really good fight.

Ofcourse, this talks about user content in an "open" platform. If the content is owned by a business that has no intentions for it to be open for everyone in every medium, its probably illegal.

In regard to being a dick move, it depends. If someone posted an ad in facebook, he intended for it to be seen. He doesn't care how. I just tunnel it to myself in easier way for me to consume.
I think this is important and requires a big shift in how most organizations think of QA.

A lot of QA being done is very mechanical and and done by junior staff offshore to keep the cost as low as possible. This causes the value to be low too, for example, the QA team for a F100 company I worked with would meticulously test against specs and file bugs such as "the error message is misaligned on page XYZ". Which was true, but they missed that the error message didn't make any sense at all.

Improved automated testing has the opportunity to free up people to move from Quality Assurance (preventing defects) to being the voice of the user and ensuring quality products. This shift needs a completely different skill set and mindset, but equally it needs organizations to rethink both the cost of software engineering and the value it creates.
It's as if Brave is performance art put on by Mozilla's advertising department.
Thick? I never would have even thought to complain about them. Sure you’re not thinking of firewire? Also doesn’t thunderbolt literally use the same form as usb-c these days?

Edit: yup, thunderbolt 3 uses usb-c connectors.
Power companies transmit a signal at certain times of the day through the lines. This controls devices that can switch between day and night mode. My ceiling fans will buzz when it's happening. Sounds almost like the old SMS interference you'd get with FM radio.
Just use Firefox (or one of the forks that removes builtin extensions and the like). For all of its problems, Mozilla is still probably the best bet we have at building a web browser that won't do shady things (it will do some annoying things, like having Pocket built in by default, but for the most part they still try to protect your privacy, don't force you into creepy payment models and things like Brave tries to do, etc.)
I am an enthusiastic Brave user - but seeing stories like these make me wonder if I'd be better off configuring Firefox to be more secure/private and using that.

As a privacy and transparency advocate, it disappoints me to see Brave fail to pass the test, especially considering that privacy and transparency are supposed to be the browser's MO.
That appears to be a strawman argument.

Being calm and balanced is good, yes. But that's not the same thing as saying that anger is not justified, and that it automatically means that the angry person should be dismissed and their anger treated as a symptom of an immature or unbalanced person.

Vore was simply noting that, given the current circumstances, m0zg's original comment could very easily be read as saying, "Ah, good, here's someone who's actually worth listening to. Not like those angry, irrational protesters."
Same here, were already in talks with red hat to move dozens of servers which are currently running ubuntu with enterprise subscriptions.

We know redhat is just as bad at forcing people to use their software (systemd...) but they have to key points which ubuntu lacks:

- they usually win their software wars

- their software usually works well enough and they give you great support

- they mantain their projects and live with their decisions, unlike ubuntu which flips and flops with major updates (I'm waiting for them to switch from netplan to something else again and fuck up all my ansible config again, which was already battle tested)

- they have better management tools overall.

The only reason we went with ubuntu in the first place was because it was familiar to all of us (we had all ran it on our desktops). When they take that familiarity away, then they lose their only real advantage.
Those ratings are 3-dB points, not brick walls. It doesn't need to have a good response down to 10 Hz (and it's safe to say that it won't).

The main drawback is that you may have to wait a while between updates.

> people have to maintain them all separately.

Yes. I think most people (most people don't run Linux in any form) would like to think of their system as having a collection of independent applictions, not a set of libraries.

If people are expected to "maintain", or even understand, the concept of shared libraries, then I think the system is only geared to power users and tinkerers (the current user base more or less).
> Most on-page SEO best practices align with what would benefit a regular user also.

Because good SEO is indistinguishable from good UX. :)

The best SEO advice you can give someone is "make the page easy for a blind person to read".

Just doing that one thing will get you about 99% of the way there.
How about keyed connectors and sockets? Why have incompatible cables with identical form factors?

Sure, but not every software engineer in California is a FAANG engineer; and even among FAANG engineers that stated salary is rather high.

It's not particularly useful to make claims that one can earn enormous amounts by changing region without also acknowledging that such an opportunity is only available to a small minority.
Gee, it didn't take you long to revert to form, did it? I will just respond to the most important bits.

When you choose to write C, you are accepting the contract that if your program has UB, there are no guarantees about what it does.

Back when I started programming, C was widely understood as having a very different contract. Namely, "It is a very simple language with no guard rails, but describes exactly what the computer will do." This was the language as describe in K&R.

The contract that you describe was something that compiler writers came up with long after the language was in wide adoption. Based on my anecdotal impression, it also wasn't the direction that most of said user base was asking for. And it is the opposite of the direction that most other languages have gone.

If you can't uphold your end of the contract, C is not for you.

Which is what I said from the start. My exact words were, "As a developer, this attitude on the part of C compiler writers is a reason to avoid C and C++."

I generally am fine in slower languages like Python, JavaScript, SQL, Go, etc. The next time that I need performance, I will look into Rust. Isn't this exactly what you think that I should do?

But the argument that you are making is ridiculous. You don't like the consequences of breaking the law, so your conclusion is that prisons should be 5 star hotels and all the law-abiding tax-payers should finance them so that you enjoy them at their cost. I wish you the best luck in life with that attitude mate.

You know, if you argue with what I said rather than what you think I said, you might make more sense. Again, here is what I said:

"The actual semantics of the language are effectively impossible for a non-expert to tell from the code as written and operating. And what you don't know can hurt you. That's like juggling caltrops with bare hands - you're guaranteed to get hurt."

Given the level of care and knowledge which is required to identify undefined behavior, the first sentence is true. Given how much compiler authors value squeezing more performance over backwards compatibility, so is the second. The third is the logical result of the first two.
