Works for typical puzzle/optimization Euros, but not for the games my gaming groups have enjoyed most. Anything involving politics, diplomacy, intrigue, back stabbing and the like just don't work solo. Nor do RPGs except for grindy munchkin-fests like CRPGs. IMHO, that human interaction is the reason to play games with other people.
Now imagine how bad it would be if we let in the people who are worse at writing than the current set of people.

Interesting. Perhaps this information is not available with the images? or are they.

The conversion between RGB and CIELAB is almost meaningless (according to wikipedia) or perhaps there is a still a way to do that and helpful?

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space#Absolute_color_spa... : However, in general, converting between two non-absolute color spaces (for example, RGB to CMYK) or between absolute and non-absolute color spaces (for example, RGB to Lab*) is almost a meaningless concept.
For some reason, your Website is broken on Safari: The images only show as a gray vertical line, about 5px high. Right-click -> "open image in new tab" works, so I'm guessing it's a CSS issue?
That's an incredible book! The observation that harmony depends on the timbre of instruments was mind blowing (e.g., if we used different musical instruments, the consonant and dissonant intervals would be different).
OK top level post to highlight something lower level. sbtmuller (OP) points out this feature:

https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/launching-postman/...

So then, if you create a postman account so that you can sync data between different computers you use, it will do exactly that, including request and response history.

If you don't create a postman account it doesn't do that.

They are NOT collecting your payloads unless you ask them to, and they are NOT doing it secretly as might be implied by the phrasing OP used with "they admitted".

Is there a free, preferably open source, reader web app with dark mode? I have an old Lumia lying around which is mostly useless by now but has a nice low-brightness screen.

How to keep yourself accountable for learning during Covid quarantine?
Hi folks! Not sure if anyone shares this pain point. I’ve always been keen to form study group with like-minded peers to keep myself accountable and bounce ideas, specifically in Machine Learning/ Deep Learning: Computer Vision or Natural Language Processing domain. Unfortunately, none of the study groups that I’ve been joining not ended up drifted away because of the weak interaction. People drop out due to the lack of values received, a concrete way to contribute, and especially relevant discussion to their personalized experience. Just to add in on top of that, if there is little or no touchpoint during the meetup, watching Youtube videos should have been a better alternative.

I am organizing plenty of micro-scale study groups that capped at 4-5 members to heal my own pains, and help folks who might feel the same. We connect you over weekly video call with 3-4 buddies of similar goals to continuously learn and build projects. I have been receiving 100+ interests from the community and successfully connect 20+ groups who share the similar goals, proficiency, and commitment level.

If this sounds interesting to you, we welcome you to be a part of our 100+ active members community at https://www.boringppl.com/

These articles are so bizarre to me: he's writing about dark mode and light mode as if you can just... _choose_ one or the other and be roughly equally happy either way? I would never even think to look at "studies" when it's blindingly obvious: light mode makes my eyes hurt a lot, dark mode is very comfortable.

The only time I can even consider using light mode is mid-day with plenty of natural light around. At night when all the lights are dim, even the lowest brightness on my laptop (which is quite low), plus redshift, plus blue-blocking glasses, isn't enough to be comfortable in light mode. I use the "Deluminate" extension for Chrome to make all sites dark, all the time.

Perhaps I'm unusually sensitive to light (I think I am), but based on the comments here I think I'm far from alone.
The right chair will definitely help. The few times I worked from coffeeshops for a whole day, or at the kitchen table with a regular chair, my back was killing me by the end of the day. When I got a 2nd-hand Herman Miller Mirrah the improvement was massive and noticeable in a very short amount of time. When I moved to the current Aeron I didn't notice any difference right away but in the last year I started feeling crap again.
I am a bit confused why we need another additional package instead of working with seaborn and implement the changes in there.

In my business, we have a lot of test data on a database, where everyone uses their own python-based solutions for plotting, mostly done in a Jupyter notebook.

Guess what, to compare results and have one dedicated style-guide for the project, you create more complexity than needed.

-> I tried Orange3 for a while, which has a really intuitive way to use, but I miss the direct connection to a DB. Any advice warmly welcome :-)
I have tried and failed at using both. I guess the topic of advanced image manipulation itself is too complex to allow for a simple, intuitive interface.

I wouldn't mind an entry-level image manipulation system that starts by giving me only a few obvious functions, and lets me grow into more advanced functions as I learn more, but that's probably too much to expect.

On the other hand, serious image manipulation is no doubt a serious skill that requires training that I simply lack. Someone with no programming training failing to grasp Python or Java doesn't mean there's anything wrong with Python or Java.
And PLoS has, unfortunately, been getting in financial problems because Nature started a competitor that provides exactly the same service (I think slightly more expensive, but might be wrong there), but with the Nature brand name.

Which provides a hint as to what the most important product is that publishers sell.
Adding a Chat Feature to Your React Native App
$50k? Those were the days. It's not even $15k now, and it's much more strict in how it's added up.
Except some people prefer dark UI but light websites. You can't please everyone. There should be a per-site based setting such as microphone access etc. where if prefer-color-scheme: dark is detected, user can toggle it should they choose.

But, as a site owner it's my prerogative on the decisions I make regarding design. It's not always about choice :)
My eyes are too sensitive to light. It really hurts. I have to dim the monitors light down to zero. Now almost every website on the net show text with pale-gray color on white background for whatever the sick reason. Some people must be batshit crazy to make text light-gray and also semi-transparent. I can't flippin' read. So http://darkreader.org does a great job for me.
At one point in time I was road cycling about 12,000 km a year, and can confirm that with a sufficiently aggressive metabolism and daily calorie burn regimen, you can shovel in highly calorie dense foods with no adverse effects. Look at the calories and ingredients in the energy gels and snack bars marketed to the road cycling and endurance runner market segment.

In fact I had to consciously eat many more calories per day, in calorie dense foods, just to not lose weight and become weaker.

We had exactly this at an old job. A flaky browser test that turned out to be due to some misuse of thread local storage, so occasionally users would see data for another user.

Once we tracked that down, we took flaky tests much more seriously.

I'd be curious to hear your observations. I did BA/MS at BU in CS (CAS of course) and found the classes often hit or miss, but the ones that were good were really good. That being said, I did have an interest in theoretical CS while many CS undergrads do not, which is what the department emphasizes.
I've got into my current role through Easy Apply, at the time I was looking for a job in the end of 2018. Quite surprisingly, as I normally try to avoid all sorts of social networks. And the role so far looks quite a dream! Hiring experience was great either - spoke to a hiring manager initially, did a reasonable take-home task (close enough to the real stuff), was invited for face-2-face interview with HM, CEO and one of the devs, received job offer 10 minutes after walking out of the building after the interview! It was Wednesday, I started the following Monday. Two weeks from application to starting in the new role :)
> Apple is an advertising company.

Primarily, it's a hardware company. Lots of companies have advertising services, this does not make them "advertising companies". If your advertising products disappear and the company would function more or less the same, that's not the primary product in your company's portfolio. Google would be crippled, as advertising is the primary product (fed by data from all the other services it offers, often at a loss). Similarly, most of apple software would be useless if they lost control of their hardware production/control.

I'm not saying that they are hiding, but I believe most people saw this page and felt Postman does not collect request data under any circumstances. It felt like a sudden twist of story after I've contacted them and realized they have the sync feature. If I did not contact them then I would not have know they do collect request data when user is signed in.

> 3. C++ and Rust will coexist for decades.

Nah, I mean maybe in the way that Fortran coexist with C/C++ for decades, but it's not equal coexistence.

I would rather say that new languages arise, replaces old ones for most scenarios and in the cases where they can't, due to various reasons, they push the old language into zombie state like cobol.
In my experience, the easiest way to make these "leaps" is to do so within the company in which you're already working provided that a) you've been successful in your role and b) your company is a flexible place that values its employees personal development. That's much easier than applying to a job "cold" at some other company.

Talk to your manager and let them know about your ambitions. Maybe the next time there's a planning session for your team, you can take some small tasks, bug fixes, etc. or maybe you can pair program with (or just observe) one of your engineering colleagues.

Great that you're working on your skills outside of work as will, and I suspect many on HN will suggest getting involved in open source projects, but that's really playing the long game IMO. Shortest path is to try to get a "new desk" in the place you already work.
Anarchists are descending into authoritarianism? Certainly not.

I frequently go straight to HN comments instead of the article itself because the article might be exaggerating a point to attract more clicks, whereas the discussion is typically a bit broader. That people don't keep it DRY is a feature to me, not a bug.
Training a Neural Net to Find Highlight Worthy Moments in Gameplay
I'm not sure whom this is aimed at. The name "La La Lab" and the interactivity suggests kids, but there's a Fourier integral on Page 7 which immediately suggests undergraduates.
Could you explain what you consider to be the difference between emitted and reflected light? I'm asking because in the models of global illumination that also handle emissive materials that I've worked with, there's literally no difference between whether a photon was emitted by a surface, or came from somewhere else and bounced off the surface. So I'm trying to understand if there's some fundamental property here (e.g. like polarization) or LED color reproduction at play, that CG models don't capture. Because as soon as you have a ray of light with a certain intensity and mix of wavelengths, it really shouldn't matter how it was produced, so I'm trying to understand the quantitative difference in what is produced.
Yeah, it worked for me as well after reloading. Then it didn't work again on the next reload. And once I opened developer tools, it always worked.

> Public school and forcing kids to go to school is incredibly harmful to children, parents, families, and society. Forcing children to go to school is completely unnecessary

The vast majority of parents are lazy, feckless and incapable of educating a child. Not to mention the character benefits of socialisation, conflict experience and discipline that might be met at school.

I also refuse to believe that something as ancient as group schooling isn't inherently positive. There is a school in England that has been in active operation for 1400 years

Weren't suits and shirts designed with XIX-century England in mind? I.e. very little hot summers, cold indoors (17 C was considered normal room temperature back then).
> There’s no moral quandary in closing the door to abusers

Doesn't necessarily apply to this conversation, but the moral mistake that people (and societies) frequently make is underestimating the nuance that should be exercised when identifying others as abusers.
Modern capitalism doesn't work with basic maths apparently; companies run off investor money for years, if not decades (AMD is one of those companies that has been running a net negative for a long time - not sure how they're doing of late though).

Personally, based on a very superficial understanding of economy, I... don't actually mind - as long as their personnel, suppliers, and taxes are paid timely and adequately, they are doing their 'contribution' to the economy.
I wonder what the crawler does to it requires so many requests per day to the same site...
Given the revolving door at Twitter, or other mainstream media outlets for that matter, this isn't surprising.
Update: This post is just a reminder that Postman collects your request data only when you're signed in. So please be aware of GDPR or similar legal requirements in your region.

When I first try to find information about it, I did a search and found this:
https://support.getpostman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203815791-W...

Later I found out that they have a sync feature, so it is probably why they need to collect and store request data if you're signed in. This is just a reminder for those who are unaware about it, not saying that Postman is hiding anything about it.

It might be a fallacy to compare GitLab with Salesforce or SAP. The user base is so different. Developers / engineers are a unique class of users who have high expectations but in their own distinct way.

However GitLab's overall strategy and roadmap is being validated by every step GitHub takes off late. Quite an amazing reversal of roles. Back in the day, GitLab was the "open source copy" of GitHub. Now GitHub is following GitLab's footsteps with their Actions (pipelines) offering, and everything that comes with that (code analyzers, security, deployments etc.) GitHub still has much catching up to do though in some areas.

Long term, competition is good for everyone.

(Disclaimer: GitLab employee)
It was true for error handling improvements, which got added is just a small part of the original proposal.

And despite the 2nd attempt to the contracts proposal (now one year old with little visible progress, no updates since August on public git), or the Featherweight Go presented last week, there is still no guarantee that any of that will ever land on Go.
I’ve seen many engineers stuck in their careers in part because their writing skills were lacking. Articulating your ideas in a written form is a very effective way to influence others and share your vision. It shows others how you approach a problem and what you value.

C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.
I very much doubt a GUI interface is going to be faster than a text interface, in fact it will be the opposite. And then I'm wired to this one interface and have to poke around on lines with a mouse like its 1992. No thanks.

Also I can't easily compose or build composite objects, where is a one-line loop in Python. And how do I deal with libraries of components ? Dunno, seems like a step back to me.

Have not tried it though - perhaps you are right.
Yes indeed. I lived for a spell in Rathmines, but mostly in Galway (so a hybrid G4 accent).

That makes sense. But to me those are largely functions of experience with a toolset/platform that are expanded with product iterations and not something to dwell on.
Whilst it may be distasteful, it is entirely legal.

An employer cannot inhibit the formation or function of a union but are under no obligation to provide the facilities or platform to form one. What FB have done is akin to not allowing an organizer to use the company photocopier to print union leaflets

Advanced Dietary Keto Reviews:{99% Work},Pills,Weight Loss|Cost and Buy?
What is Advanced Dietary Keto?

The condition of ketosis can be characterized as the time during which your body separates fats into glucose. Advanced Dietary Keto enables your body to accomplish that condition of ketosis. No or no action required, this enhancement will permit your body to encounter ketosis even very still.

Advanced Dietary Keto isn't generally a dietary enhancement in pill structure aside from the Advanced Dietary Keto lemon wind that can be joined into the eating regimen. This enhancement comes as a powder that will be retained into the circulatory system and will improve your metabolic procedure for better assimilation and disintegration of put away fats.
