Currently rewriting an android app that had a cpp .so for its main functionality.

It's a really great bit of kit. However I'd say also requires a bit more "up front" learning if like me you've avoided js as much as possible.

But the whole toolchain is so smooth and simple.

Then of course I'd intend to build for iOS. Not even looked into that yet
You might have closed the account, but good luck stopping them from emailing you!
> Is the bad guy a couple of cops who we hold to the impossible standard of not returning fire?

That's very hard to answer because the cops have censored or lied about most of the report, as well as making claims about knocking and introducing themselves -- holding a no-knock warrant -- which is apparently disputed by witnesses.

But then again I don't think it's very helpful to try to identify the one and only Bad Guy™.
Linux 5.8 Supports Nested AMD Live Migration with KVM
Skill is the major constraint. Some powertools can make up for lack of skill as well as lack of time.
Women do not tend to choose to study IT and engineering subjects and thus end up being relatively 'rare' in these types of roles.

It's not down to companies.

Changing that requires a long term plan focusing on primary and secondary education. University is too late.
In the UK many schools encourage pupils to develop interests in all subjects these days and to teach them that they can be whatever they want, so that girls may find that they like engineering and boys that they like nursing (for example). I think it's the right way forward but obviously it is a slow evolution.
Yes indeed. Purcell’s Electricity and Magnetism book is so good, I could understand E & M from a sophisticated point of you even though I could do vector calculus only on very symmetrical situations. And Kleppner/Kolenkow books and Anthony French books are well written.
A member of the board of directors of a company is not an employee.
I also got/get a lot of value out of LinkedIn, I see what my old classmates do and that helps a lot at approaching a new company. Also, our own recruiters use it to send me lists of applicants that I can judge with stars or yes/no very fast. I like it.
As a business developer, I see LinkedIn more like a business network than a job seek Website. LinkedIn favor networking above all, which eventually leads you to get a new job.
> I really consider getting rid of my car. I bought it a year ago, but it's only ever sat in the driveway, I never use it.

This is an unpopular and very interesting situation, could you write a blog post about it ?
That winner of that test, the 840 Pro, uses 2-bit (MLC) cells.

Nowadays, 3-bit (TLC) and 4-bit (QLC) are much more common (not sure QLC even existed back then). So whilst each of these technologies has matured, the drive a consumer may consider today is more likely to be bigger, replacing their HDD entirely, and will probably be capable of fewer writes than an MLC drive from 5 years ago, iiuc.
I mute 3000+ accounts and 300+ words.

It doesn't really help, every time something happens in America theres a new word you have to mute, also Twitter doesn't respect certain hashtags mutes if they have a custom icon and people retweeting things bypasses the mutes sometimes.

Twitter could easily just solve all this by adding a huge "Politics On/Off" switch in their preferences and then people who for mental health reasons or just because they're not there for that (e.g brand customer support workers) but they'd never do that because I suspect they ideologically think its more important to control the flow of political information that is broadcast to their users even if its at a great detriment to their users mental health.

I don't want to be on Twitter, I was forced on Twitter because RSS was killed by Google Reader and all the journos/bloggers said "Just use Twitter, whats the big deal" now the only way to get the information I used to get before is with an unwanted side order of politics.
It’s crazy how people still don’t understand how the internet works differently than meatspace. If an extreme right position eliminates the platform for a moderate conservative, those positions are going to be taken by their enemies, not their allies. The same tactic doesn’t work in the opposite direction because nothing on the left is out of bounds. Because of this double-standard at the extremes, it’s impossible for a moderated Internet forum not to slide ‘left’, and it’s impossible for an unmoderated forum to not slide ‘right’.

Given so much internet and so little real-world interaction, I think we’ve completely lost touch with what ‘regular’ people actually think.
Assessing antiviral candidates for C19 with machine learning
Well, in your metaphor he decided to get rid of all cars, forever. There are probably a ton of people who blog about that. Since there is no alternative for Linkedin and it is defacto the only professional social network out there, it is a categorical decision where quite a few people are wondering how it would affect them, of they did the same.
I wanted to make a very basic cabinet for my bathroom. It basically required two long planks, yet the price of these two planks was more than buying a ready made cabinet from ikea.
The title is incorrect, imo. The website offered tweaked ISO Windows 10, which is commercial product. Why don't they offer a script, a software for all of these tweaks?
If you have your own jitsy server, you can define the max quality up to 1080p i think, the free jitsy service/server has probably really low 'max' video quality.

BigBlueButton is also interesting, but it's more like a Schooling-tool...but also without a client (aka just need a browser)
Super late, but maybe you see this. I do not agree with the looting at all and believe these people have to be stopped and held accountable.

However, I think that the situation is so difficult, that society is incapable of finding a real helpful solution and as injustice keeps being comitted by police across the country, the emotions find a channel to break out.

How long can they violently treat citizens without consequences? The negative energy just seems to burst out here and it appears to be the natural consequence (which doesn't make the looting right, but maybe explains the negative energy a little bit).
If anyone is ever in the situation where they get a ticket every 6months, please buy a good radar detector. Your increased situational awareness will increase, and you'll usually be able to spot a cop.

Throw in waze and you're in a situation where you can basically cruise at 90 for a long distance vs. 75. Escort or V1
Right, but this should be on the purchase page of the OS. No one would know such a thing beforehand.

It's a combination of a purposeful lack of information and a sketchy UI decision because the option in the policy editor is there to interact with on the Pro edition of Windows. It should be at least greyed out like other Windows settings are when you can't use it for your edition of Windows.

You shouldn't have to pay $84+ / year (Enterprise edition) to disable having everything you type into the Windows search menu get searched on Bing. It used to be something you could turn off on all editions of Windows in earlier versions of Windows 10.

If MS were more open about user privacy, users wouldn't need to develop third party programs to discover and disable all of the traps MS lays in their OS to spy on folks.
People should use NTLite to customize their own ISO files (downloaded directly from Microsoft). You can never trust a customized ISO from the internet.
The version that later went on ladder anonymously used human-like E/APM.

It is not hair splitting. It is a basic fact. Her contract ran out months after her co-workers complained about the hostile work environment she was creating and the warning she had received.

Being a tax specialist consultant retained by a think tank is pretty much a text book case of when you'd be on a fixed term contract.
I actually think reddit has fallen in to the opposite trap here. Because of the increased scrutiny that people of colour get when being put in these roles we see this trend that only massively over-qualified PoC are being put in these roles. As a result you end up in a situation where you aim for an increase in diversity but in reality you end up with a handful of people who are rotated through all the possible positions. Simply because everyone wants the signalling of hiring diverse people, but no one wants to take risks when doing that.
They have great recipes for authentication/authorization. It's much better IMO because it actually provides per-request authorization. There is also great support for transactions using the GraphQL mutations. I'm not affiliated with Hasura in any way, it's just changed the way I view backend development. Backends (in most cases, my day job is actually not part of this generalization) should basically be a thin wrapper around your database, and any work you can outsource to the database, you should do that rather than building business logic.
I don't see how that comment relates to the op-ed. Suppose police in Seattle are deliberately conflating protestors with looters; that doesn't mean the Senator is or the military would. In fact, it sounds like a reason to send someone other than the Seattle police.
Unfortunately it's been years since I can trust any wikipedia article on anything political or social related. Sad thing is these issues now taint topics like games, movies, software. Not being from US makes it even harder to swallow.

I guess it's unavoidable though. Having your ideological group stand on such a popular resource is incredibly powerful propaganda. It's like having millions of dollars lying in the street, you can't expect people not to touch it.
Impossible is a big word. "Not yet practical" is closer. "Will soon happen" is arguable.
Sorry, works on my Firefox quite ~well BUT uses 3 time's more CPU...so there's that ;)
GUIs interest me so I'm recording this but his slowly delivered, hectoring tone isn't going to make this easy.
I completely agree. Anti-this or anti-that, whatever.

American Identity Politics is a rot that has really damaged our western civilizations.

She seems invested in protecting women due to a shared experience and becoming convinced through genuine social work that this "movement" and all the toxic wrong-think and undeserved discourse has just served to confuse us and help paralyze rational management of her patients. It makes it much more difficult to look after vulnerable people and has invented terms that are offensive to women.

I support her and I hope whatever societies we end up with we institute protections that defend rational people from having wrong-think weaponised against them much better than we do today. Our decision makers shouldnt feel that they must act a certain way because a pressure group has shouted loudly, and does not hold the consent of the demos at large, which erodes respect and damages the legitimacy of our democracy.

I am a Brit and unfortunately Identity Politics is extremely dangerous on my Isles.

No thinking Anglo-Saxon-Celt-Indian-Sikh-Hindu-Breton-Briton-Norman-Hiberian-Welsh-Scot-Norman-Irish-Kenyan-Ghanan-Ugandan-Nigerian-Jew or other should support it. Each of us can magic up a real ancestral grievance. Some of it's horrific!

I'm excited to see how my government handle the next few weeks. The majority position now is unless it stops tolerating unlawlessness, destruction and boat people that the current system has been thoroughly comprimised and is not fit for purpose.

If my government wakes up in time, the Antifa element of this illegitimate paid up BLM "movement" & the institutional elements that enable them are in for a lovely shock. All educated black people I know in the UK now are already against them.

They and those that have validated mob rule will truly deserve what their weaponisation of race will bring to them, our western civilization (flawed, but still the best) is on fire because of them!
> I agree, and in fact most people in our times don't understand the odds either.

For example people not understanding that Trump's chances of getting elected were actually pretty good in 2016. FiveThirtyEight consistently showed that he had at roughly 25% chance (i.e. 1-in-4):

I don't know about other people, but I wouldn't want to play Russian roulette with those odds. It should also be noted that Clinton did win the popular vote, it's just that ~70K of the votes were in the "wrong places" so Trump won the electoral college:

Oh wait a sec... Another BS third party Github DMCA complaint? This sounds very similar to the "REACT" Github DMCA complaint last month also covered by TF [0]. Where someone was (not) using Casio's software on an ARM SBC inside a plastic Casio case.

"REACT" [1], "BSA" [2]... they are both non-profit, why are they both so comfortable using blatant DMCA abuse as a means to silence content their members disapprove of?

Why let the Civil Rights Establishment define what civil rights mean. Left-wing racial justice activists shouldn't be allowed to monopolize the term to mean the advancement of their vision for the world.

In any case, what Ohanian asked for was that a black person take his place. Not that his replacement be prominent in so-called Civil Rights circles.

An accomplished black tech entrepreneur as a board member does more for the reputation of black tech workers than a lifelong activist whose main occupation has been disseminating ideology.
I never had a LinkedIn account but was getting email from them. Hitting the unsubscribe button would stop it for a month but then restart again. After about 6 months I sent them a mail threatening legal action if I ever received a mail from them again, and since then it’s been blissfully quiet. They must have an internal black-list for people that do that.
I don't remember the name but I definitively saw attempts to build a general AI that was designed to solve 50 different games. There was one long learning phase where the AI learns mechanics that are common to all of the 50 games and then there is a much shorter learning phase that is just specific to a single game. Same attempt was made with a Minecraft bot. First it just learned how to live and interact in a vanilla world. Then it was fed twitch pvp livestreams and finally it was placed in a pvp server. It didn't perform super well but watching the livestreams was definitively more efficient than learning combat from scratch.
I hold the WaPo in high regard and tend to read it everyday but I missed this entirely, and sounds rather shocking. Could you please source your statement?
I have a thousand times more confidence that the operating system on a Xbox one or PS4 will remain patched and updated over a multi year time span... Than I do that some weird Android or webOS variant on a TV from Samsung or LG or others will remain safe to connect to the internet.

People will say, "yes , but the Xbox or PS4 home screen also shows ads". In my opinion those ads are far less annoying than having an ad on the actual TV. If I want something totally ad free I also have my HTPC connected to the screen.

I don't see giving any TVs the wifi password or a direct Ethernet cable any time in the future.

Bloom: Measure the climate impact of your business
The term I've heard for this phenomenon is "mathwashing."

The same can be said about the internet archive though.
I don't have a LinkedIn profile.

The only obvious difference that's made to my life is that I never get emails from my "CEO" asking me to drop what I'm doing and buy him some iTunes gift cards. Which is something my LinkedIn-using colleagues get fairly regularly.

LinkedIn is a huge centralised database of phishing targets. Whatever upside it might provide to the world, that's a pretty big downside.
The list is about tools from textual descriptions, so is this collection. Having a textual description of syntax or ui makes some sense though.
Products get cloned almost immediately once released in the Chinese domestic market, especially when there's a potential for them to make money. It's about keeping the IP as closely guarded as possible while attracting users.

Companies are very conscious of copying and they see open source as only facilitating that - the cons outweigh the pros. Tech savvy consumers don't appreciate that a company has open sourced some of its work because there's no culture of open source, and the act of open sourcing only allows competitors to rip something off easier. Why would they?
Microsoft being Microsoft, its such a shame so many video games still only support MS. Over the years MS has become really user hostile (well may be not as much as my samsung android phone I guess) with constant forced updates, forced adverts for their products. And now a DMCA for a project trying to help folks customize windows? Sigh!

Few days ago there was an update on Windows10 and my computer was restarted forcefully, upon booting back up I was greeted by a massive "in your face" type of advert for their Edge browser, couldn't quit it and had to see a big advert from MS about their stupid Edge browser. After I managed to close it, it decided to pin the browser to my task bar without asking me if it should.

Vietnam is also pretty generous with death penalty for drug trafficking. What makes it worse, it's not transparent about number of executions or even the reasons for capital punishment. See e.g:

Like any social network, the value you get out of it is the cumulative value your connections bring in (through news postings, recommendations, leads). If you don't have much connections and the few you have are basically just celebrating themselves ("look mum, I got promoted!") the value gain is limited.
We're not all going to be working from home, nor should we
When building a house, there is a considerable difference in effort between making detailed construction drawing and building the house, so it makes sense to make a detailed construction drawing.

In software, there is effectively no difference between making a detailed design and actually writing the program, so it becomes a lot harder to know where to stop drawing and start building.

I guess that many of us have, at some point, thought we had come up with a good design, after spending lots of time on it, only to find that it stumbled on some detail when we actually tried to implement it. This makes it tempting to think "If I must work this out in detail anyway, I might as well do it in code. That way, if I get it right the first time around, I will be done!" Unfortunately, it also makes it tempting to stick with a design after it has proven to be a mistake, because of the sunk cost.

(edit: grammar.)
I am so glad people/blog like this one that explain very clearly matters experienced by lot of us! Good job! Thanks for sharing.
Show HN: Command line tool for half-hourly energy tariff savings calculation
Considering the price of Nexus and Artifactory this is way cheaper for a SAAS offering with SLA's. I imagine Artifactory is really going to have to up their product offering or at least lower their entry prices.
I've deleted my LinkedIn several years ago, as it was annoying and didn't bring any value to me. I do have a fake account to overcome their auth wall to see other people's profiles (useful once in a full moon).

As others have said, LinkedIn should have stopped as a digital rolodex.
In this thread: 90% of HN cannot read.
Maybe "saved the world" and "invented" the internet? Because yeah of course, the internet has been "invented"! It was absolutely not a natural evolution of local networking based on known technology...

The standard advice for this if you want to woodwork as a hobby (not for utility, that is): learn to use handtools. Paul Sellers is a good youtuber for this (and there are many others). The r/woodworking subreddit is also quite active and has good starting resources. Dust control for power tools is much harder, so if you're limited to working in your living space, it can be a problem.
Amazon’s facial recognition moratorium has major loopholes
You're clueless, it is directly relevant, you said "copyright laws are neither moral or immorral" which is a bs statement because every rule (which it is) has political consequences, you need a giant state to declare "some ideas are not sharable". AKA copyright is a cultural construct that evolved in one particular society at a particular point in history, not a natural law.

So no, you don't get the idea of owning ideas is directly itself an attack on freedom itself, aka if you can claim you own ideas you can use violence against others because you believe in that idea. The problem you're not seeing is that it's impossible to enforce property rights for ideas while not infringing on basic human freedoms. Copyright is backdoor to get rid of property rights for the public by associating it with software/technology.

The idea that we just need "good regulation" to stop the abuses, is bs, since the last 200 years of copyright has always seen its power and abuse expanded and not reduced.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act#/...

So you're the one making disingenuous arguments. Since our culture is literally being irrevocably destroyed and there's no way much culture during this period will be saved because of the lawlessness of the USA and general idiocy of its citizenry.

Usually public companies publish these figures.

As far as I can tell from ones I have seen, they make more than a Senior Engineer makes mostly by RSUs.

You can find proxy statement for public companies(Amazon, Google,, they publish it before the annual shareholder meeting which most of the time includes compensation for board members.
