I do not disagree with what you are writing here, but i do not think this applies even to iOS 6 in general (as opposed to a few apps). Also from what i remember, Newsstand was just a grid of icons like the main screen launcher, except that it had a wooden background. The functionality was the same though, again at least from what i remember (i didn't use iOS 6 much).
Strongly suggest reaching out to Dr. Rupal Patel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupalvocalid) of Northeastern University (https://coe.northeastern.edu/people/patel-rupal/) and VocaliD (https://vocalid.ai/about-us/).

She was also my doctoral advisor and I feel confident saying she would be very interested in talking with you.
Why Skylake CPUs Are Sometimes 50% Slower (2018)
yeah exactly; if I'm with a vendor factory and hear, "Whatever you do, don't print any 349s!" you can damn well bet I've convinced myself what the winning number is.
who have this idea that 'upskilling' is all about using new libraries

Devs have that idea because that's how many companies hire.
GDPR does apply to Norway, and Norway has a fairly well developed privacy agency. However, according to investigations by Financial Times (the newspaper), none of the European countries have enough people hired to either deal with alleged privacy breaches, or people equipped to actually properly investigate these claims.

The Financial Times tends to have great coverage on data privacy. It is impressive on what they uncover, even with technicalities. Also, the coverage is not fleeting or apocalyptic at all. Somehow, I have never been disappointed with them covering even tech in general. But, their data privacy coverage is generally great.
tl;dr Zoom still intends to block users from participating in locally illegal conversations, but will do so by blocking certain IP ranges from any illegal meeting, instead of banning the user who participates in it. Zoom supports the open exchange of ideas.

Note: the words “Tiananmen Square” do not appear in this blog post. Instead, Zoom refers to a “June 4th commemoration event.”
"slightly eroding the rights of workers". Seems bad enough to me.

How often are the rights of mega corporations slightly eroded? And how do those erosions hold under the weight of appeals by megacorps lawyer hordes and lobbyists?
I'd suspect ships (though I'm not sure what you mean when I look at the map). Tropospheric NO2 is usually not transported that far, although we do measure transported US pollution in Europe.
> if it lasts 10 years that is $70 a year.

You should really compare it with the cost of getting specialist help to treat a bad back after you're 40. It's unlikely to be less than $70 a year, and it will likely go on for more than a decade.
I'd like to tightly combine a semi-visual programming editor, the tooling and the runtime/infrastructure into one «thing» as shown in this video [1]. You write a bit of code, you drag and drop another bit, and almost instantly it becomes «online» - the compilation / the deployment process are somehow hidden and the configuration is minimal. It just works, so you can focus on solving the actual business needs of your application - but that's a long term vision... ;)

I must mention DarkLang [2] that seems to have a similar goal, but a different approach: Kretes builds on top of VS Code, and uses one of the most popular programming languages while DarkLang builds not only their editor from scratch, but they also introduced a new programming language. I find their project ambitious and inspiring - a potential game changer imho

But roles are reversed all the time which is my entire point. No one questions a white Ivy League educated board members qualifications because there is a baseline assumption that they must be qualified. Yet there is evidence that implicit bias plays a role in putting them there in the first place.

There is no evidence of racial bias except a ton of psychological research showing most people having elevated stress responses around people of different races, a ton is sociological research showing the lingering effects of past policies like Jim Crow, red lining, highway placement in large cities that decimated black businesses districts... on and on and on.

It’s naive to say all these clear effects exist, and there is a clear causal explanation in racial discrimination, but there is no evidence. The evidence is in the effects.

Do me a favor make duplicate copies of your resume with two different names. One a typical English/Anglo name and one of any other culture. Let me know if you get equal responses. I’ll bet you $10,000 you won’t get equal responses.

My dad did this in business school, and when he saw the results, he changed our family name.
Even as a dev I think the person you're replying to is wrong.

Sure - if you know people that work at the specific company you're interested in then you can just get a referral through them, but if you don't then having a history of email contact with recruiters at interesting companies via linked in is quite valuable and makes it easy to jump to the interview process.

The job market is strong so we (devs) get a lot of email from recruiters trying to hire, and the recruiter quality can vary (generally employees of the specific company are better than hired firms), but in general I think this is a good problem to have.

I don't categorize the person you're replying to this way, but I've definitely seen devs go on a bit of an ego trip because of the recruiter emails they get and then treat them dismissively. A career is long, there's no reason to be nasty to them or cut them off - at some point you might need their help.
Yeah, the 8k out is purely for content consumption future proofing. I'm guessing the cost to include a compliant port/chip was cheap enough to be worth it. In 5 years, if all video streaming content is in 8k, they'll be able to support it. Perhaps there are some new Blu-rays that will support 8k content as well.
> An executive with 8,000 indirect reports and 2000 hours of work in a year can afford to spend, at most, 15 minutes per year per person in their reporting hierarchy... even if they work on nothing else. That job seems impossible.

I don't understand this starting point. The job of an executive is not to micro-manage every transitive report. Who said it was? Where did the author get that idea from? That's why you have a hierarchy.
He's been at Apple before. Doubt he'll go back to a place he's been before unless he thinks the landscape has changed enough he can have a really big impact again. I don't think thats the case at Apple.

No - I think he'll go to Nvidia, because he hasn't been there before, hasn't really worked on GPU's before, and because I think GPU's could gain a lot of performance by having someone look at optimizing the big picture, adding the right abstraction layers, and generally making a GPU more CPU-like to allow more execution to be moved to it more easily.
The adult equivalent of giving a kid a gold star for getting all his exercise questions correct.

I've worked at a place where this sort of thing happened, giving team mates cards. It's embarrassing.
Desirability is defined by the consequences the success brings, as opposed to the failure of inaction. It is a thing only in context of some unfulfilled needs.

How do you define desirability in the society where "needs are covered" (already)?

What would comprise the desirability if the profit of every action is alienated from the acting person?
The kind that Google and Microsoft (and maybe others) do is pretty great. You get a push notification on your phone and just tap "Yes", and you're in. Of course, you should still have a fallback like OTP for when your phone is not internet-connected, but it feels really seamless and is a very minor inconvenience.
Then you'd need to explicitly mention your definition of "fragmentation" because i think mine's differ.

When i hear about fragmentation i think about incompatibilities, like -e.g.- the home computer fragmentation of the 80s or the Java ME fragmentation of the 2000s. However there are very few incompatibilities between modern Linux distributions and you can avoid them when you are releasing software.
I used to maintain some linux remote desktops at my job for specific workflows of certain employees.

Wow, using xrdp was a complete gong show to manage. The most common bugs were in the assignment of displays on user logon, as well as a crappy, often buggy, login screen (though GUI logins for linux are fascinatingly weird pretty much universally.)

That being said, even in evaluating alternatives there wasn't anything much better. Linux remote desktop managers are just not that great yet.

As much as I hate Windows, I have to tip my hat to Microsoft's and say that their RDP implementation stands more than head and shoulders above any alternative remote desktop implementations I've tried.

Developers these days are getting much better at doing things over the command line. The trend of using GUIs for everything recently appears to be ebbing into a "right tool for the right job" mindset. Which is a very promising trend I've noticed. Hopefully remote workflows are entirely done through emulating terminals over SSH in a few years time :)
I like it when they’re introducing him and during the introduction he was praised for “Zen Architecture”; you can see Jim in the background shaking his head - sign of humility that he is not alone, amazing engineering team that made that happen under his leadership. This kind of humility is rare.
I'm now running a 2004 updated Pro host with that Group Policy setting and don't see any web search results. I also checked my registry and I don't have that DWORD key.

Rebooting will refresh the group policy, so that should have worked. Maybe try also enabling the "Do not allow Web Search" policy which is adjacent in Admin Templates > Windows Components > Search. That seems to be all the configuration I have to make it work.
When most people refer to REST APIs, they really mean "HTTP APIs". I really don't think we should reach for GraphQL just because of the ideological notion of daring to not adhere 100% to REST.
But wasn't Hydra 2005 ~2800 ELO where as the current best chess engines like Leela Chess Zero or Stockfish are ~4000 ELO?

Just realized that correspondence chess is cyborg chess, I didn't know computers were legal in correspondence chess, but it makes sense now. Reading about it, it sounds like it's less about knowing chess, and more about understanding the applications you're using.
And they brought their unwelcome tactics into that industry as well. Sony lost me as customer with the PS3 console. The removal of the Other OS feature greatly impacted me. After that I boycott them for 10 years. That time had since passed and I still avoid them whenever possible. They completely lost my trust.
>This seems to point at a bigger issue where the black creatures are considered foul?

Likely in part due to J.R.R. Tolkien's influence on Western fantasy archetypes. Almost invariably, his books equate light skin with purity, civilization and goodness, and dark skin with corruption, barbarism and evil. Not to say that he was racist in the same way as H.P. Lovecraft was when writing about fish-men from Innsmouth as a thinly veiled metaphor for race-mixing, but rather that given Tolkien's Colonial British upbringing, he may have been blind to his own cultural prejudice.

Over the decades this has sort of become a trope that has seeped into a lot of fantasy and even science fiction.
Nothing stops Intel manufacturing their designs with third parties. Yet they don't.

Either it isn't worth it (too much coupling between fab and designs - not the right abstractions), or institutional inertia stops them doing it.
And I am getting down voted more than ever before on HN. You really expect me to believe that people question white candidates credentials anywhere near is frequently as minorities? How would you propose we identify an Ivy League candidate that benefited from a legacy boost or a large donation?
That makes sense. I couldn't come up with a shady reason why they would do it to be honest, but I was curious.
Wow! That would be awesome. I'd like to finish with the on-the-fly compilation that uses ESBuild. This approach is similar to Vite and Snowpack. I wanted to integrate it with React/Preact and Solid.js in the next few weeks. Any help with that would be appreciated.

I also plan to rewrite the core to Deno. It will be relatively simple, but a bit mundane. ;)
Over-applying lessons learned is a part of learning.

But symbolic/performative change in lieu of meaningful change is a way to dodge lessons.

This seems like both.
The Aeron was a big disappointment for me. I've been using it for about 4 years now and I have to admit I preferred my previous Mirrah.
Lol my guess is as good as yours and everyone else’s.
Can someone break this down in lame terms please?
Those OSes would have to have monopoly market share.
IT Startup – The Card Game
Not affiliated with the creator. I played it once (polish version) with work colleagues - we split into three teams and were brainstorming moves and how to hurt competitors the most. It was fun.
I have found two cases that occur enough to not assume that the test is wrong:

1. latency/performance - the test system in a well-controlled environment shouldn't have so much latency variance anyway (project was an 'instant' messenger)

2. maybe 30% of the time the test (run frequently in CI) is identifying a race condition that doesn't show up when run ad-hoc by a dev

is there anyone who did NOT understand thats what the 'bailouts' were going to be all about?
I'll prefix by saying that this is exactly how I write my tests, too. But, let's do a little critical thinking here and ask "Why do we write integration tests?" If the goal is to improve software quality, I'm afraid I have some disappointing results for you.

Back when my dad was working at a huge software company (BigCorp, let's say), he looked at how much effort the manual test team spent over a two week period, and how many defects they found. Then he did the same over the next two week period. Now, logically, in that second period, some of the earlier defects had been found and fixed, so it should now be harder to find defects, so the total defect count per unit of test effort should be lower, right? Armed with two data points, he did a regression and worked out how many defects they'd find if they did an infinite amount of testing; effectively the undiscovered defect count left in the product. The number he got was astoundingly huge - no one believed this was possible. So, he went over to the plotter and plotted out a giant effort/defect count curve, and then every two weeks he'd put a pin in his plot to show reality vs. his prediction, and for months and months until he got tired of doing it, he was pretty dead on. And he didn't just do this for one project, he did it for lots of projects, across lots of different teams of various sizes.

On all of these projects, all the manual testing they could possibly hope to accomplish if they had their entire testing staff spend 100 years testing would have reduced the overall defect count by a tiny tiny fraction of a percent. So testing and then fixing bugs found in tests (at least in all the projects at BigCorp) didn't really have a huge impact on software quality.

And this should not really be a surprise; if you were manufacturing cars, you might test the power seats on every 100th car, and use this to figure out what the quality of power seats in your cars is. You might discovery only 95% of power seats are working, and you might think that's unacceptable. If you do, though, you're not going to "solve" the problem by fixing all the broken power seats you test; you're going to go figure out where in your manufacturing process/supply chain things are going wrong and fix the problem there, and improve your quality. The testing is a measure of your process.

Software is not so different - by the time it gets to integration testing, the code has been written. The level of quality of the code has largely already been set at this point - all the defects that are going to be introduced have already been introduced. The quality level is dependent upon your process and the skill level of your developers. So testing some arbitrary fraction of the lines-of-code is going to find problems in some percentage of those lines-of-code, but fixing those particular problems? Is this going to have a huge impact on quality?
This is really, really nice but unfortunately the website is too slow to be usable right now.
Ask HN: Why isn't there an open-source FPGA?
I'm asking about the FPGA itself - not boards or IP cores or toolchain.

The only thing I've found while searching is https://git.slaanesh.org/kfpga/kfpga which is still very new and small, but inspiring.

What are the major hurdles that have prevented people from creating an open source FPGA design?
Why does this depend on both Reactjs and Vuejs aren't they essentially the same thing?
Is there any offshore oil or gas drilling in that region?
That's fair, I think you're right.

Selfishly, though, as someone who doesn't work at Intel/nvidia/AMD but is interested in architecture and digital design, it's frustrating how hard it is to find candid opinions from industry experts in comparison to software. Computer architecture just isn't the same in terms of attitude.

One of my favorite things about the computer architecture courses I took was to sit after class and ask my professors about something I'd read about, and more often than not they'd tell me that what I read was bullshit and nobody seriously considered it in the industry, or they'd tell me about something they were excited about that I hadn't heard of. It's hard to get a handle on where the industry is heading and what important people see as the next steps to iterate on.

A general conversation is probably more useful to most people, but there are a lot of times in this conversation where you get the feeling that Keller is right on the precipice of giving an insider prediction of the future, and the topic shifts instead. It's frustrating because those types of conversations are just straight-up difficult to find elsewhere.
How to let things go in a relationship
As someone who works on developing cybersecurity products, it's incredibly unhelpful to disdain users by assuming the worst case as in

> who would download their banking apps from hax0rs.rus

Having empathy with users that don't act perfectly skeptical 100% of the time and who don't read all of the text (like none of us read 100% of the EULAs every time we click the "accept terms" button/checkbox) will allow us to build systems which are more robust to the occasional distracted user, overlooked typo, user who doesn't know how o mentally parse a URL to identify the domain, etc.

Also, there are plenty of people on HN that advocate for breaking down all of the walled garden app stores, which necessarily means that users would have a higher cognitive load of researching which domains are more trusted app stores. It's ridiculously easy not to accidentally download an iOS app from a 3rd party app store, because they simply aren't possible without jailbreak / install developer cert.
Yeah, couple of server side projects... Curious: what was the deciding factor back then? Did it changed now?
Complaints are by people who have inaccurate assumptions of the term autopilot. Autopilot originated in aviation, and has always been an assistant to the pilot, never a replacement. The term is used accurately, and complainers are just ill informed. Autopilot has never been what a layman assumed.
Trump Administration Considers Suspending H-1B, Other Visas Through the Fall
It's been a lifesaver to reduce my IT time taken to clear family computers of malware since getting them iPads.
Ask HN: Those who left software development for a different technical field?
I dont hate programming per say, but I hate everything that comes with the job. I hate the work, developers, the culture among developer teams. I also despise the leetcode interview. I know that good DS/A skills are important. I know why they exist and are so popular. I know that there are plenty of jobs that don't use them (but the reality is that the best paying and most interesting do). But at end of the day, I'd rather spend my time learning and working on cool projects than boring myself on some algo site so that I can compete with a bunch a quasi-competive programmers.

All that said, I still do enjoy programming and work on a number of cool projects for myself. I've started to wonder if I should do something else for a living and relegate programming a hobby I can still enjoy on the side.

There are plenty of stories of people going from programmer to some business position, whether that be management, sales, BA, etc., but I'm not really interested in any of that stuff. In fact, I think I would hate that more than programming. I've been interested in other fields since a kid, programming just won because of accessibility reasons. I've always enjoyed natural sciences (through school, I struggled in math, hated language arts classes, but always excelled in science). I also contemplated a couple going into a other engineering fields as a teen that I've retained an interest in. There are also some IT domains that look interesting (honestly I'd probably be a better network engineer that software engineer), but I don't think I could stomach starting at the bottom of that field. I expect a pay cut if I switch fields, but entry-level IT pays pennies.

I dont think I've ever heard of anyone doing anything like this. Googling only shows people doing the opposite going from X to software development. Everyone wants to be a programmer these days. Maybe it's the money and prestige.

Has anyone made a transition from software to some other technical field?
This is disappointingly sparse on details and does not seem to be a nuanced position. It's calling for the eventual abolition of police, not merely scaling back their funding:

> The end goal of these reforms is not to create better, friendlier, or more community-oriented police or prisons. Instead, we hope to build toward a society without police or prisons, where communities are equipped to provide for their safety and wellbeing.

When somebody breaks into my home, I don't need a counselor; I need some sort of investigator or detective who can track that man down and make sure he doesn't do it again. Maybe that guy needs a counselor instead of a prison sentence, I'm [skeptical of but] amenable to that idea, but who does the grunt work of figuring how who did it and where he's at? Who brings him to trial, where his guilt or innocence can be assessed? I can't find any answers for this on that site, so it's hard for me to take seriously.

This document also mentions permanently closing all jails and freeing everybody from involuntary detention, etc. When a man refuses to stop beating his wife, where should he be put? I don't see any answers for this. Is the idea really to create a utopia where people no longer do shitty things to other people? Because if so, that's a pipe dream, not a serious proposal.
Really well done, purchased. Consider using some graphic representation on the view finder to express split screen (which side is blurred, which side is not) and allowing the size of the solid or blur to be adjustable by the user (in my testing, it was occasionally not large enough to cover a subject’s face).

I might be getting old, but it wasn’t clear immediately that I needed to hold the shutter button to record, or that recording was not a toggle (and removing my finger stopped recording immediately).
I'm pretty sure gait recognition hasn't proven itself as viable as facial recognition.
You can intern at a dev company, is that something you are interested in?
