One thing to keep in mind is race strategy. If the opponent in front of you is out of sight, its very hard to catch up again. Even if both are otherwise identical.

Google munging the URL on it's own search results to look like a breadcrumb bar is among the primary reasons I do not use google.com as my default search engine anymore. I'm surprised they didn't do the same on the URL bar instead of hiding the full URL.

That being said, if you look at most non-IT persons using a browser, the URL is just visual noise for them: showing the domain prominently is perhaps (and _just_ perhaps) a better way to make them take notice.

Not that I would ever use this for myself though. I already disable FF URL formatting and "trimming".
I can only second that!

The control part is crucial here. From psychological perspective - human beings loose motivation when faced for a prolonged amount of times with environments they can take control over / achieve satisfaction. An edge case scenario within the same set of problems is called learned helplessness and is a well know phenomena.

Gain control, and you will feel all the good juices flowing thru your body again.

Here's what Feedly could do better. It could strip down. When I look for an RSS reader, I don't look for something that looks like the front page of HN.
I do look for a simple list of feeds, with folders. That's it, nothing more. That's all I need. When I open a single feed, the articles display.
Of course having filtering is nice, but not necessary. There are plenty of services out there that will do that for me. I don't read feeds based on anyone's curation, including Feedly's. I read them based on whatever I'm interested in reading that day.

Improved real time image animation in opencv using first order model
A similar post has already been here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23312259
but I decided to improve it and it may be useful to someone.
I corrected code, added docker configuration and more detailed descriptions. I also simplified the preparation of input video for animations not in real time. Everything should work automatically.
You don't understand the definition of backward compatibility.

There are examples of binaries written against a UNIX kernel from 30 years ago that run just fine.

If you start adding dependencies on libraries you are choosing to have one of these problems:

- use dynamic libraries and refuse to cooperate with maintainers and things will break, rightfully so

- use dynamic libraries and the OS keep them around forever and it will become a security dumpster fire over time (and also will never scale down to embedded systems and phones)

- use dynamic libraries and ship them in a tarball and it will become a security dumpster fire over time

- use static libraries and it will become a security dumpster fire over time, plus it's even more difficult to tell what libraries are used

- use dynamic libraries and ship them with docker or appimage or similar and it will become a security dumpster fire over time, plus you have unnecessary complexity

- use dynamic libraries and package your stuff properly. Target LTS releases. Most good distributions will guarantee 5 years of stability of all the dependencies without version changes. Plus you get free backported security fixes and free testing.

Not at all.

Yeah I think the master for git comes from mastering/master-image/master-tape which comes from the master = main/leading definition which doesn't necessarily imply a connection to master/slave.

Either way though, can't really go wrong with more descriptive/functional names.
Uber / Lyft / Snap were never cash flow positive, and don't have any clear way of reaching that, while User is burning 2 billions a quarter and has only two more quarters to go bust.

There are tons of VC unicorns which are burning investors money on unsustainable business models, like food delivery apps that subsidize your orders. WeWork has no chance of avoiding bankrupcy.

The irrational exuberence has been here for quite some time already, and out of everything, a bankrupt company which at least used to have a working business model and existed for 100 years is not nearly the most insane investments going on here.

(The insanity is buying it before the bankruptcy restructuring, tho).
Why do you say C++/WinRT is not much better than WRL in productivity? I strongly disagree. I work on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft. We use C++/WinRT in new code that both consumes and implements WinRT components. So far, I'm happy with it and would not want to go back to C++/CX. C++/WinRT is definitely more productive than WRL.

There are lots of variations depending upon your use case.

For unit testing and CI you may want mock objects that are implemented in the same language as your code. Google search for "mock object <language>". That's where you'll find Mockito (Java) or Mocha Spy (NodeJS) or Testify (golang). This list never ends.

Specifically for unit testing of a UI, you may want your browser driver to handle this, ex: Cypress has built-in support for mock AJAX endpoints.
https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/stubs-spies-and-clocks...

If you want an endpoint you can call, Postman has a feature for this, there are several others like this in the comments (JSON Server, mmock, mountebank, etc.).
https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/mock-servers/setti...

If you need to capture traffic, check out goreplay or mitmproxy:
https://github.com/buger/goreplay
https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/

There is a whole class of "VCR" projects for recording traffic, these tend to be language specific (VCR is in Ruby), but there are ports to other languages:
https://github.com/vcr/vcr
https://github.com/bblimke/webmock

The vendor products tend to be labelled Service Virtualization. I used to work for one of those companies, ITKO, we were acquired by CA Technologies (now Broadcom) in 2011. There are vendor products from Micro Focus, Tricentis, Broadcom, Parasoft, etc.

It's important to think about your use case: local development, unit testing, CI, integration testing, performance testing, recording vs. programming, protocol support, payload support, etc. Many of the tools focus on just a subset of these areas.
Yes, imagine if the browser vendors decided to _improve the usability of the URL bar_ instead of trying to remove it...

The only difference between

Example.com > Worldnews > 2020 > 06 > 14 > Big aquatic monster spotted outside Tokyo
forum.example.com > Sport > Football > Spain > Real Madrid

and

https://example.com/worldnews/2020/06/14/big-aquatic-monster-spotted-outside-tokyo
https://forum.example.com/sport/football/spain/real-madrid

is a little bit of reformatting and upcasing and linkifying (or otherwise making selectable) the individual path segments of the URL.

And probably some clever logic to deal with the randomforum.php?fid=12345&tpcid=984.3&page=5 goop that is still all-too-common... :/

We take a lot more walks and see a lot more neighbors as well. We even had a socially distanced happy hour with another family in the front yard.

I think a return to having a tightly connected neighborhood would do the US a lot of good. People may pay more attention to what's happening in their town and local politics which could help change things from the ground up.

Most importantly though, I think tighter neighborhoods would help people see those they don't agree with as actual people with more in common with them than not. As Thomas Jefferson said, "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."

As an aside, I have been thinking about how much I would love to be able to buy an empty lot in my neighborhood to open it up as a community space to bring people together outside of social networks.
> They think "people aren't going to stop renting cars"

Do they? Nobody buying this stock thinks Hertz is going to recover.

They think "I'm bored and buying this worthless stock is risky and fun".

That is valuable to some people, and hence why the stock price is up.

Hertz selling more shares to try to save the company is pretty dumb, because that is not what it share holders want.

Hertz new share holders want to see the company and stock burn as much people as possible in the most spectacular way possible. That's what Hertz has become.
>This analogy would work if Google was deliberately holding back new features on the web to favor its proprietary operating system but in fact the situation is pretty much the opposite.

They do kind of do that. Rather than going through the consensus process for getting a web standard added, they implement it in chrome then unilaterally write a standard for themselves. See for example, the SGX (signed exchange) "standard" they pushed out.

If you're buying indices then you have explicitly given up control of a portion of your portfolio to them, and they can lose money as well as gain. Sounds to me like you're just complaining because you lost money because of this move, but symmetrically speaking, you could have gained.

And to be clear, I'm not long or short Hertz and have never been (unless some index or fund I'm holding happened to buy their stock).
I guess it has more to do with the bare bones X capabilities and the alternatives like NeWS.

Good point. Reminders me of negative yielding bonds. Institutions buy them knowing they will lose money unless there is a greater fool willing to buy them at a premium.
You don't know it to be worthless. Hertz proved that, because their stock went up (hence not worthless).

Yes. Basically this is why I went away from a very successful career in tech sales to Fortune 500 companies and became software dev. Being a dev enables me to work in a much broader group of companies, so I can at least abandon those I'm going to find not in line with my moral values.

Look, buddy, this is a very serious problem. The more you're going to work on your personal philosophy, the more problems you're going to have with moral compromises like the one you've mentioned. Please, do yourself a favor and try to deal with that problem BEFORE it's going to be a much bigger issue.

I'm kind of proud of you because of your "The only viable action I can think of is to quit and not participate". If more people could be like that, most of the evil in this world would be long time gone.

I'd attribute it mainly to the APIs available. Right out of the box you can easily loads PDFs, images, and make "Document" oriented applications. You can also do rich text editing and even embed web content to do more advanced layout of content. e.g. If I was doing some sort of "knowledgebase" app these sorts of things would be indispensable.

But also there's the market to consider. Macs users seem to like to sink their money into nice looking native apps which organize things.
(De)soldering FPGAs is also very intricate, very high number of pins, high pin density make for a high error rate and low to no chance of simple rework. Also, the need for boards with a lot of layers to get that high pin count and density out from under the chip.

It is easier, faster and cheaper to start from one of the available devel boards and maybe even use them as production components for small batches

>... But you know what kind of public companies have zero earnings for years at a time, and where future earnings are so far away that it’s already understood by everyone to be a day-to-day game of chicken, just like this? Biotech companies. And you know what kind of companies are going to be really interesting in the aftermath of Covid? Biotech companies.

Sounds sorta like Amazon. It's one giant game of expanding P/E multiple. The bulls say tell me what I'm missing is that Amazon could turn on earnings like flipping a switch. They just don't want to. It's more efficient if AMZN holds on to the money. My response is that it's always been that way with this company. Same story in 1999.

Also sounds sorta like Microsoft. Sounds definitely like Tesla. Sounds, in fact, like way too many companies.

There's a bubble here of biblical proportions. The Fed has suspended the inevitable in the name of economic survival. But the signs were everywhere pre-COVID.

I wonder how much stupidity they should prevent...

"My business venture is to look for fallen coins on the ground. Would you like to invest in it?".

"AWS is sucsessfull becouse there is no capital tied to hardware for the leasers. For some reason it is what executives prefer."

Your execs are probably right.

Capital outlays are expensive and risky and imply a structural lock-in - but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

"A 1000USD server is in practice impossible for me to order at work"

And what about hosting? Networking gear? Support? Repairs and upgrades? Networking security? And how will those servers integrate with the rest of your outlay?

AWS is ridiculously cheap compared to the alternatives in most scenarios and that's why it's so successful.

AWS/Cloud enables so much more, far more dynamically - the value is considerable.

In some situations, if you have a fairly big need for computing, and it's predictable over long time-frames, and those services don't need to be tightly integrated with other cloud services, and you have the internal know-how to keep them running, the cost obviously savings can be achieved, but this is an optimization.

Put on your Eng/Ops/Business Hat for a minute and consider why services like AWS are exploding and growing to be one of the biggest segments in tech? Because 'stupid executives'? No - it's because the value add is fairly immense.
Show HN: Instant search of 200K+ SVG logos from 100 sources
I often need to find logos and was not impressed by the existing logo search engines, so, in classic bikeshed mode, I built my own. Because it makes total sense to try to compete with Google. And Wikipedia. And countless others (some of which I list on the alternatives page).

Why is mine better?

- just logos
- instant results
- only SVGs
- hyperlinked directly to the source
- no right-click hijacking (or other dark patterns)
- totally awesome domain name

It is open source (AGPLv3), so you can see the tools I use and how it works (and criticize my code). The sources have their own licenses, so be sure to check there before using.

It is still a work in progress and there are some glitches (I mean, who would use a percent sign in a file name? And I'd love to try to fix the Wikipedia redirected images if I could only find the source...), but I want to see if people find it useful.

So let me know what you think! And I'm always looking for more sources!

I don't see you complaining about, for example, brokerages, dealers and exchanges providing liquidity by fulfilling your orders even though the market won't at a given point in time. This can prevent a security from falling or rising in value where it otherwise would have, and directly works against an investor who was hoping for a rise/fall in price.

Regulators don't work "for investors", they work for lobbyists, they want to keep the markets running, and for any given policy, someone will win and someone will lose.

I don't see how the Hertz decision is any different, except I do see how taking the opposite position can hurt the markets, either by creating a chilling effect on low-mktcap companies listing or by creating uncertainty in the legal environment, which investors really don't like.

Just look at the number of Israeli companies who won't list in their home turf, TASE, or companies who have and pulled out. A lot of it has to do with TASE imposing unreasonable requirements. Otherwise raising money domestically would be a no-brainer.
