RPA is something like "macros on steroids". It tries to be something like shell scripting for script-hostile GUI applications, but at least the one product I've gotten to play with is still way more clunky than proper shell scripting.
Its goal was to create a sustainable alternative to ads, not just block them. I haven't been keeping up with it so I don't know how successful that's been, but it's a noble task that nobody else is really working on.

This came up on a law enforcement subreddit. Riot police training is that the front line always keeps moving in order to provide a security barrier, the medics behind them will attend to anybody injured. In this case the medic was national guard. Supposedly it took 18 seconds between the time the man fell and the time the medic reached him.

So the initial shove was pretty horrific, but the line movement at least has a plausible explanation.

This actually seems like a really bad financial deal when you consider the square footage you are getting. You could buy a house with 10x space in a nice city for 5-6x the price.
For example on my LG V30, I can go to the dialer and enter :

*#*#4636#*#*

I can then go into "Phone info" and set the radio to "LTE only" or "LTE/WCDMA", and if there is no 2G/3G/etc... I will not be have any service. [1]

This also works for most android phones, with small exceptions.

I used to get Mad magazine as a kid in the 90s.

Definitely enjoyed them as a kid, but never realized how cool they were (or considered how much they may have shaped my sense of humor - always attributed that to shows like Chapelle’s show around that time).

Anyways, thanks Mom.

For a good year I used to here this high-pitched whine when visiting my grandparents. I could hear it throughout the house, and though it was either a faulty vent, or seagull chicks on the roof. It was not constant, and rather intermittent.

I checked everything, but nothing. Asked my grandparents about it, but they couldn't hear any noises. Finally I got a friend over, and he could hear it clear as day.

One day I noticed my grandmothers hearing aids lying in a casing, and it turns out those were the source of noise. She'd forget to take out the batteries, and they would create a negative feedback-loop that came and went.
Are you talking about this case? https://twitter.com/morphonios/status/1268370620418527232. There was tear gas too even.

> One of the "philosophers' stone" goals of the software industry is to completely replace human testing with automated testing.

Generally the people who say that don't have a clue - I meet them monthly: "We can save X money by writing a Selenium script and firing the whole QA team!" is typical.

I'm managed QA teams at a few companies in telco, boxed software and SaaS.

And people invariably get all huffy when I say, "Are you going to assign one of your programmers to review changed screens before integration and deploy?"

Then suddenly their eyes glaze over since they just lost a partial headcount and accepted even more responsibility for the release.

What I want are world-class manual testers that understand all of the product features, know how to approach testing it, what the problem areas are, and can communicate the issues to developers.

Luckily I know a few, and I wouldn't call what they do "monkey-testing" at all - their opinion of a release's quality is the only one that actually counts to me.

What I don't want are programmers writing Selenium scripts with no understanding of the product, then moving on to some other project and abandoning half-done tests. That's what you get when you fire your QA team.

> I've always thought that the engineers in QC should be just as skilled and qualified as the ones building the product.

World-class QA people are skilled at manual testing. World-class automated test programmers are not QA, they're called programmers.

For developers, what you can do is make the software you write testable. For web applications, add id's to all buttons for example, which are usually required for automated testing software to know what to specify.

Also, if you crapped out a feature (did a copy and paste of other code with "it works for me" local testing), just tell your QA person, "I crapped it out. Please take a look." so they know they'll need extra time to look at it.
Police act in a hostile environment which can't be compared to the environment in which surgeons and doctors operate. Where their lives are not at risk. Mistakes are more understandable and more likely in hostile environments, which makes it a wonder that there are not more instances of police making serious errors given all the interactions police have with hostile and combative people.
I've wondered over the last week whether a strategy to fighting the perverse psychological changes that seem to settle in the minds of many police officers would be term limits? An "up or out" mentality like in the armed forces[1]?

It seems like many of the worst offenders have been mostly stagnant at their posts for many years - surely getting in fresh faces that have had a chance for more modern training would help break some of this mentality of "corps over country".

The speedrun community is wonderful for this sort of thing. And tbh it’s therapeutic to have on in the background as I’ve been WFH since COVID started.

Sort of related, it’s awesome to see that they’re still finding massive bugs in these old games (such as Ocarina if Time, which only recently have a proper ACE exploit found) 20+ years later and figuring out _why_ these bugs happen so they can figure out easier ways to make it happen so they can actually use them in runs. It’s fascinating to watch the progression of these exploits
Literally isolated anecdata shared by social media mobs who have a bad opinion of police because they were pulled over that one time or they didn't like how an officer spoke to them once.
It is the sum-total of all of the little things. I could write out a list but it would end up looking like the official site's sidebar.

It all adds up to making me far more productive and more sure of my code.

Things happen to people that they don't deserve. Life is profoundly unfair.

I don't know what a US cop looks like on an ordinary day, but that group look like they are expecting trouble. There might be riots or unrest in their recent history. If you approach a group like that, things might happen that you don't deserve.

> Think about your grandpa, imagine if he was the one pushed to the ground and now in ICU and tell me again how stressful it must be to stand in full riot gear and have him approach you, alone.

Police aren't lab technicians, they work in an environment where they routinely have to deal with violent criminals who have no respect for the law.

It would remain a stressful job, even if I don't like the police.

And they should have been stressed; they did the wrong thing and are now in a lot of trouble. If anything, they should have been more stressed.
Do we care about truth or narrative?
I still don't really get the point of 5G. It requires so many towers that you're basically building a wired network, but then it requires billions of dollars worth of wireless spectrum in order to get from what amounts to the street in front of your house to inside, even though there are already phone lines and coax going there that could be used. Even for wireless devices, that would get you close enough to use unlicensed spectrum (WiFi) and save billions of dollars worth of licensed spectrum.

The main benefit of cellular is when you're away from WiFi. But unless you're constantly traveling to places without WiFi, you get that from a $20/month plan and the existing cellular network.
First off, it looks like you've really worked hard at this, and it looks really interesting. It's something that I would try if I saw it in a store. I would expect to find it at any of the health food stores locally.

I mean the following constructively:

Why the focus on ditching alcohol? It's a big turn-off and I'm not even a regular drinker.

Seems like the wrong messaging immediately.

Sell your product on its own merit, not with an up-front negative message that judges people's alcohol intake.
That is what I am asking, if your delivering pizzas to the same address for a decade and your not getting paid, why keep delivering pizzas? Surely you can blacklist an address or ask for payment up front? There can’t be so many pizza places in delivery range of this guys house that you can order every day for ten years and nobody catches on that this address never pays.

You could probably do WiFi with an SDR with an FPGA, but that's about as much as a hobbyist could probably pull off.

> Heap also found a lot of success on HN when they launched: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5424206. While there was a lot of excitement early on, the kind of crowd it attracted wasn't a good demographic to sell to long term.

I hope posthog's founders heed this crucial implication: the paying customer for analytics are analysts, not engineers.

Analysts want analytics that work. Engineers want analytics to go away. An analyst wants to augment their data analysis, in order to produce more conclusions or support more decisions for the decision makers they report to. An engineer wants to focus on building technically challenging, long-lived systems, not on churning out short-lived weapons in the justification-explanation wars waged between Data Science, Business Intelligence, Product Management and the C-Suite.

To use a market analogy, the engineer-as-a-customer will pay on cost, not value. Analytics are necessary but secondary to their day-to-day work: for most, it's just a one-line telemetry SDK logging call. If an engineer builds a feature doesn't lead to an uptick in a business metric, that engineer can shift to another org with little fuss. The analyst, on the other hand, is tied to proving the performance of their feature or subject-of-analysis. The longer an analyst has to wait for engineering to build a tool to analyze (sell) a feature, the riskier their position is in the company. Analysts like Product Managers or embedded Data Scientists or BI experts, will accordingly pay a value-based price for analytics. They need it for their jobs.

Posthog will likely work for companies where engineers are also analysts. But in larger companies where the roles are more clearly divided, I forsee posthog's current focus leading them astray.
No, predictions about what other undiscovered evidence you’d expect to find about the past. In a way this is like astrophysics in that you can’t conduct experiments, but you can predict that X is correlated with Y. Come to think of it, paleontology...

For example, take the Shakespeare authorship controversy; you could create a hypothesis that say “Shakespeare was indeed the author of Hamlet”. A prediction from this might be, “if a manuscript of Hamlet were ever found it would be in Shakespeare’s handwriting”. Not a really good example to be sure, but just off the top of my head...
I think in part this supports the proposal for officers to have to carry their own liability insurance like doctors instead of relying on near guaranteed liability protection from the unions and ultimately tax dollars.
Pulumi has support both for Python and Go along with TypeScript and JavaScript.

I never understand when people say operators don't like programming languages. Always seems weird to me that a person that constantly works with computers would prefer a static markup language instead of full programming language for managing the complexity of operating software in production environments.

My original comment was about this attitude. I personally think programming languages are much better than markup languages for almost everything. If you are presenting static content then markup languages are fine but if you're doing anything more than presenting static content then YAML just makes no sense.
technically, aren't you breaking the rules by talking the voting system meta? It's so weird, they ask you not to talk about voting, but then have a feature where you get auto downvoted. How are you not supposed to talk about that?! It makes you feel insane, like someone is following you around.

Imagine someone was following you around IRL delegitimizing your experience. Telling people not to believe you. That your opinions are worth less than others. Only the other people can't see that person, they absolutely believe that person, and people think you're crazy for thinking that it's happening.

An Interesting and entertaining article.

The most interesting part to me (as someone with vision problems) was the WebAIM link [1]. The biggest problem I have is with the almost total blind adoption of low contrast (so often too low for me to even read) and sure enough the section about low contrast [2] says:

"found on 86.3% of home pages. _This was the most commonly-detected accessibility issue_.

My basic question then is why do so many designers and websites choose to break the WCAG guidelines?

I'm actually curious about your thought process. Not trying to be confrontational.

I'm not sure which country you are moving to, but the question is the same. With how much power the US has, and how intertwined the world is, do you believe that you are permanently better off out of the country?

Sure, the US is by no means all-powerful; but if the US joins China and Russia's descent into the throes of outright authoritarianism, what leads you to believe you are safe? In this scenario, you would arguably be better off at the onset, but these three countries would surely take the rest of the world down with them? Not even outright invasions and occupations, but bog-standard bullying and destabilization, a la South China Sea or Iraq?

EDIT: Iraq was invasion and occupation. That maybe wasn't the best example of mere "destabilization" on my part.
The keyboard was a disaster. My dad had an old teletype keyboard and adapted that to it when the original membrane died. I was pretty impressed.
The video is definitely worth watching, but that's an excellent summary, thank you.

It seemed to me that there might be a trade-off (when selecting a square in the game) between squares that have a high probability of containing a ship/squid and squares that are a good choice for carrying out a binary search of the remaining possible board states.

Presumably, though, the remaining board states are sufficiently random that no square is significantly better than any other in terms of the binary search.
The benefit is mostly realized in places where you can expect to see the cost savings trickle down and have very high amounts of data for 25$/month. Which, to be honest, is not North America right now, but that certainly will become a reality in some places.
One of the nice things about GSuite (for me) is that it implements a nice spectrum of features that many people need without a lot of other stuff. I certainly get that some people need that other stuff whether sophisticated revision tracking, pivot tables, etc. But for my regular but generally unsophisticated use of GSuite, it's better than anything I've used in years.

It's pretty clear from your previous posts you have some beef with Brave and/or Brendan.
Tell you what, I am a developer and have been using brave for a long time now, both for development / work and personal browsing. It's a good browser, I will keep recommending it to friends, there is absolutely no issue with this situation, besides a ton of people who don't understand this is absolutely harmless in nature panicking over some suggestion box. The fact that u can check the code for this should tell you something - Every closed source browser just does whatever the f* they want - It be worth for you to spend all this energy complaining to those who heavily mine / monetize your data in ways you don't even imagine.

Actually you're totally wrong for several reasons, not the least of which is your symmetric handling of travel:

- there are direct flights from Wuhan (and Shanghai, #8 in the world) to SFO (Trump stopped the Chinese flights Jan. 31, but Chinese travellers were detouring through Africa and Europe in Feb.)

- but local travel outside Wuhan was restricted (latest Jan. 23, Disneyworld Shanghai was closed Jan. 24)

- the Cambridge and Washington corona models are overly pessimistic and start late - the first Wuhan hospitalization was Dec. 1, and with the direct flights to SFO, corona was in the US in mid-Dec.

What's hard for you and other HNers to wrap your head around is that all the reported information is completely wrong.

The best source I've seen so far is this:

(We independently came to the identical analysis of corona for California, literally word-for-word, which is the opposite of the sensationalist news media. The Santa Clara hospital dashboard confirms this, being flat for months.)
From my personal experience, yes, but not just for scale. I've used Kubernetes in a 300k person organization and now in a 35 person organization. Kubernetes isn't the simplest solution, but it's just reliability in a box. You can control the network, and the servers, and the load balancing all through the API which means for most things I can install a fully clustered solution with a handful of commands. Set the number of instances I want to run and forget the whole thing exists. Suddenly I'm cloud agnostic by default and the underlying K8s management is handled by the cloud provider.

In the 300k person org it was for scale and reliability. In the 35 person org it's so that 1 guy can manage everything without trying.
Sure, this place is loads better.

They do different things but in the wild are used in the same way. Data classes are not immutable so it would not be ideal for what I used named tuples for.
The point of captchas is that they cost resources (human time, money, computing power) to solve. Captcha is essentially a proof-of-work scheme, and a very nasty one, because it is designed to torture users instead of relying on computers to do the work. There are computer PoW-based alternatives to captcha, but they are not widely used for some reason (why?).
When do you think SPA’s are the best fit?
The FDA would probably have something to say about it. They don’t want CBD in human foods either and I believe they have sent warning letters for pet foods as well. (They call it “mislabeled” because it’s not a “food” but a drug since CBD is now used medically by Epidolex, or something like that)

I guess doctors who treat end stage dementia need to have had it too?

The wish to have a person of the same race solve the problems of race are understandable. But I would encourage you all to hope for the better situation which is that anyone with good ideas, regardless of race, should be considered as equally as someone else to solve our problems.

Because, I have the feeling that your position leads to bad side effects. Like having very fragile victories. Like black voters (or young people) being very fickle and not turning out to vote because the person who might have good ideas doesn't look like them. Like not engaging or believing what someone says just because of their skin color.

The very things you're fighting against. Take a longer term sustainable position and you will be better for it.
