What is harder about using a OCR app and calling the Airtable API to get the expenses compared to writing all the code to take photos, scan for text, and then upload to Airtable or even a SQL DB?

This raises quite a few interesting questions and tradeoffs - how do you handle ugprades (i.e. yearly upgrade to latest/fastest CPU) without taking down the standby box? Have 3 boxes?

How about instant handoff? I guess that would require running the second box as a slave, so both boxes are running harder than they need to...

Does running one of the old FX-8350/70 at 7+ GHz have any benefit, or is it offset by the per-tick improvements of newer CPUs?

It's weird to think of heavily overclocking stuff in a non-gaming workload for me... stuff like chilled coolant and instability suddenly has completely differnet factors to consider.

Instagram’s explore tab has learned that I like pictures of English gardens. It works amazingly well.

All humans, not just jobs, should have higher standards of conduct, don't you think?

Where are you going to get the humans who are able, wanting and willing to live up those higher standards is my question for you.

Last I checked, anyone can decide at any moment to be completely broke, a drug addict, a criminal, an alcoholic, a piece of shit, have an unlimited number of children and everyone else has to support them for some reason.

What kind of standard of conduct is that?

You won't ever get people to conduct themselves properly if ignore evolution and pretend you can magically educate people into not being animals. Americans don't even bother with trying to live up to the education myth, given how much they pay school teachers. They think they can just import people with higher standards of conduct when they have to and outsource the rest. It's more profitable this way you see, to ignore reality, fund bogus economics, manufacture consent and have this planet go to shit. It's more profitable this quarter you see.
Meta II: a syntax-oriented compiler writing language. (1964)
I think you're conflating several different purposes of citations.

A thorough literature search is mostly needed to avoid claiming as novel innovations/discoveries things that others have previously published (even if you more-or-less ended up discovering it independently). Secondarily, it also helps you avoid ratholes that others have stumbled into (although the reduced incentives for publishing negative results makes this less effective).

However, citations of papers encountered on — and recalled from — social media are more likely to be for the inspiration they provided for the line of inquiry or methodology in your paper (even if that inspiration was negative, ie. you're refuting someone's work or conclusions).
It's likely that FB uses user response to posts to decide how to prioritize them. However, several patents describe systems where they analyze (using CV) and make decision on the importance of pictures before they are published.
I have mixed feelings about this.
Big projects, while definitely having more capacity (engineering efforts, documentation, etc) than your local team, also have bugs. And sometimes serious ones. Plus, more often than not, those bugs are exploited via automated tools. Having a good custom framework will often be immune to these "low-hanging-fruit" scannings.

During my career, I've developed custom frameworks (way more than I wished for - at least 4), and they all came out of specific necessities - stuff existing frameworks either lack, or catered to the lowest common denominator that wouldn't fit the desired approach. Most of them started on top of existing frameworks, extending over time, upto a point where they basically replaced most or all functionality from the base framework. They weren't perfect, they had bugs, of course - but often worked quite better than the code they replaced.

The one thing I learned while doing this is that it works well - you start from a familiar, robust system, and focus your effort on what you need to improve on your specific scope (eg. module initialization, event handling, database extensions, templating, etc) over time and as needed and to cater your needs, but using a holistic approach - design for big picture, implement for a specific case that can be extended. However, there are some pitfalls with this approach to take into account - integration with the base framework should be well thought of, and clearly defined in a way to reduce coupling and avoiding the situation where you have to maintain your own dogfood as well as the integration with someone else's dogfood. This often isn't easy, and requires a bit of planning, but it can be done.

The NYPD challenge coins tell a very different story: https://researchdestroy.com/nypd-challenge-coins.pdf

"The 81st Precinct covers Bedford-Stuyvesant and Stuyvesant Heights. The NYPD Tapes were secret recordings made by whistleblower officer Adrian Schoolcraft in 2008-2009 proving widespread corruption and abuse in the precinct. After voicing his complaints internally, he faced harrassment by fellow officers. High-ranking NYPD officials eventually ordered an illegal SWAT raid on his apartment, physically abducting him and involuntarily committing him to a psychiatric facility for six days. The license plate “54-EDP” references a “10-54 EDP” call, in which a so-called “emotionally disturbed person” is taken to a hospital via ambulance. The quote is the Deputy Chief ’s recorded order to remove “rat” Schoolcraft to the hospital."

NYPD have made it very clear that if you're a "good" cop, the rest of the cops will destroy you.

People suck? For being sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex? That mechanism is the very reason you are here. Your parents were attracted to each other and mated to produce you. Don't demonise sexual attraction.

What's actually happening here is some people are exploiting this natural quality for their own personal gain. Giving men access to countless pictures of naked women is like giving an alcoholic access to a brewery. It destroys people and it destroys relationships.

I'm by no means an expert on this, but I had some issues with the temperature reading of the BME280. It seems to be so sensitive that simply having it on top of a Wemos D1 Mini shield PCB cause the temperatures to differ by more than 2 degrees celsius because the heat of the ESP module seems to radiate up to the BME280 (or transfers through the wires/traces). Just having my finger right above it ticked off the temperature reading, so I assumed even indirect sunlight on it or similar things might give wrong readings too.

I resorted to adding a DS18B20 for temperature readings and only using the air pressure and humidity of the BME280. I could design a PCB that moves the BME280 further away from the D1 Mini with tiny traces to avoid heat transfer, but then again I didn't want to risk it and a quick research showed that the DS18B20 seems to be reasonably accurate as well.

> "but that people suck."

It's in the definition of "attractive", things which attract attention and interest. Do people suck for wanting to eat food instead of mud? For wanting to listen to pleasant music instead of screeching noises? It seems like the least sucky creature in the world implied by your words would be Buridan's Ass[1].

Hyper-stimuli are one of the big problems of our time; hyper-palatable food, hyper-comfortable indoors sedentary pursuits, hyper-engaging gambling and gaming environments, hyper-engaging edited pictures and videos (and adverts and films and TV shows). The highlights reel, on steroids.

> User studies indicate that the first thing a user notices is... Nothing.

There are a thousand ways to screw up a user study, but one of the best ways to detect a screw up is if they say that users either always or never do something.

> In fact, it makes sense to hide it from a security standpoint to decrease the odds that users go information blind to the domain, because we already know that improper domain routing to lookalike domains is, by far, the most common vector for credential theft.

Which is why it makes sense to highlight the domain. Make it a different color. Make it a bigger font size. That still doesn't require you to omit the rest of the URL.

> I'm sure that for the people who really care, it won't take long to hack together a chrome extension that drops the full URL into the page title or a pop-up box on the page itself.

Except that the people who actually do that really are the 0.07% and you've still lost the 6.93% who would've noticed if you'd put it in front of them but aren't about actively change the default you gave them ahead of time.
Argument of a Function
They said technical people, not robots. Perhaps a subtle distinction ;)

Agree totally with the latter part though. In vast swathes of the business world, technology is not perceived as a way to gain a competitive advantage but rather something between an interesting novelty and an annoyance. The problem is there's a cultural expectation that you be "innovative" which tends to be treated as a synonym for deployment of computer-related technology upgrades (although of course it doesn't have to mean this).

But to people who have no intrinsic interest in technology, there's no real way for them to actually innovate. They just don't know where to start. So they latch on to trends they read about in the Economist or NYT on a truly massive scale. They spend days or weeks making PowerPoints about the transformative potential of blockchain, IoT or AI. They take a few programmers who are kicking around but seem bored and allocate them to an "innovation lab" where they putter around making prototypes and having fun but never impacting the business in any way.

This ticks the box labelled "we are innovative" without requiring anyone to think too hard, learn anything new or take any risks, all things that the generic unskilled graduate managerial class in our society hate doing. And of course technology upgrades are risky. When run by non-technical people they tend to go wrong in spectacularly expensive and mysterious ways, so a lot of business executives would rather pull their own teeth out than plan a major IT upgrade. This is partly why tech firms exist as a concept.

As for AI, you can't replace most of these jobs with AI because their outputs are undefined to begin with. And to be frank, my observations over the years has been that a lot of these jobs appear to be undefined in order to enable a form of cultural stuffing. If you're a non-technical executive you wouldn't want your nice business to end up filled with geeks playing board games and aggressively proving other people wrong now, would you? Better keep them diluted by hiring lots of PMs, "operations specialists", "customer analysts", "business insight teams" and so on. That way you can meet your diversity numbers and be surrounded by like-minded people.

> Which is, to be fair, exactly the reason you'd use a library like this.

There is a crucial nuance here:

Which is, to be fair, exactly the reason you'd use a library.

With which I mean to emphasize that -indeed- libraries are crucial. But nano-libraries, like nano-services are an antipattern.

This could be a stdlib (ideally), a bundle (like Lodash) or even a numberUtils. Having a gazillion packages that have a rediculous biolerplate-to-code ratio, contain just one (well evolved!) function and so on, is doing more harm than good.

A library "like this" is harmful. If only because it gives people an argument, or just the idea that libraries are stupid and should be avoided.

Until one or two years ago hardly a month went by without one of these hitting one of the various Linux communities. I'm not sure how you missed them. Just one example that I literally got to by googling "flatpak is the future":

https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-future-of-linux-desktop-ap...

And sure enough, right in the middle of that piece, is this bit:

"Applications delivered by either run in a virtual sandbox. This makes them safer to use. They can also run on any desktop distro. Neither users nor ISVs have to worry about the underlying distro or its version because all the needed components for the application come already bundled."
There seem to be issues with profiling here but I don't believe a diagnosis like systemic racism...

Profiling is an aspect of systemic racism.

I'm sure this is exactly the case. I bet far more people interact (regardless of whether they 'like' it) with the swimwear/sexy pose shots than they do the photo of last night's dinner.

I like a lot of photos, but in my own 'explore' timeline I've noticed categories of photos that appear from time to time, despite me never liking them. Until I did the whole "I do not want to see content like this" thing and made them disappear, I was seeing a lot of fishing videos, or bizarrely, people slipping their feet into shoes filled with foam (?). I'm fairly certain that as you scroll down the explore timeline just paying over a playing video - or particularly opening something (even if it's really odd or gross) just because you're like "what the hell is that" seems to register it as interest. I think if that topic is pretty "niche" you start seeing it a lot more pretty quickly.

I guess a bit like reading a single story on Quora about going to prison, or surviving an aircrash - you can pretty much expect your daily digest to be full of those for the next 3 weeks.

Point being, I assume few people will admit to it, but I bet their eye is drawn to the scantily clad photo every time. They open it/pause on it - and it's probably registered as 'most interesting'.
Well, you are correct. The average officer outside of the US is not scary. Especially European cops. The first time I visited the US after living in Australia for years, was quite a shocker for me. But when I said "kind of" I meant that there are countries that make an exception but other than western Europe and Australia, most countries have a police brutality problem. But that's only one side of the police force. When protests break out and the big guys come out, even the European cops are quite brutal. Protests in Germany, France can be a good example of that. So, maybe I can rephrase my comment as Police brutality is a global phenomenon but it extends to the average officer in the US which makes it a bigger problem there.

Diagnosed with ADHD but not at all a night owl. After a day of procrastination I'd rather go to bed at 6pm and get up at 2am to work than trying to get anything done in the evening.

But there might also be some selection bias on HN. I have the feeling that in tech night owls outweigh early birds more than in other areas (maybe except for designers).

Democracy doesn't preclude oppression or promote privacy. It also doesn't require that all citizens have the ability to vote, that all living in the country are citizens, or that citizens be free. Just like most forms of government (so far as I know, the only pure forms of communist/republican/democratic/etc government in current use are small scale town/village level, so this doesn't really mean much). I also don't have much knowledge on how most current governments work at any level of detail, so feel free to tell me if I'm wrong.
