That sounds like it would immediately exclude a huge number of potential participants from doing something similar.
Strong shades of https://perlenspiel.net/ (though probably convergent evolution) - something to look at if you want just slightly more (variable-sized grid, pixel borders, sounds).
No, it's not obvious. You should look at people with a more generous eye and with the benefit of doubt instead of throwing accusations left and right.

Yeah I've been in LA for 12 years which is much more practical for the most part.

And it's been fine, profitable, revenue generating, sure. Mysql, php, a bit of python, easy stuff.

Honestly I've been wanting to move and try out silicon valley again though and it's been hard because I don't speak that language and frankly I'm skeptical and hostile to it - bad idea. That bad attitude needs to go.

I've been in practical startup land too long so I keep getting stonewalled from getting in to the sv world.

I'm trying to contribute to some companies open source projects recently and then basically earn my way in through labor since I can't do the virtue signaling. It's only been a few weeks, nothing yet.

I gotta learn how to be along for the ride without always trying to reach for the steering wheel.

Hopefully by the end of summer I'll find a lead somewhere.

It's not about the money, it's kinda actually how I want to spend my time for the next year or two.

Show HN: Approach to simplest mental mapping tool – only keyboard needed
How does SQLite work? Part 2: btrees
I always like mind mapping techniques but every tool I found makes me overwhelmed, they need a lot of mouse clicking where I only want to dump my thoughts as fast as possible. One of my first users describes what I mean the best "[other tools] they're just so time consuming. Positioning text boxes... drawing arrows... can't this all be automated? Well, now I know, it can!"

It was made for myself, so it's have some limitations and it's really raw in the current form. It works only on PC, and you have only option to save it as an image.

I'm very interested in what you think about it. Do you like my approach? And should I move on with this?
Are you referencing some obscure in-joke?

I know Tina Fey name drops Glover in 30Rock (where Glover worked as a writer for a while). She references him as "that black kid on Community".

If you're honestly asking, no, he wasn't even a token character. The Community group has always been really diverse, which is where most of the comedy comes from.
You don't even need the agent with the latest SSH versions, SSH can now use U2F natively, which is wonderful.

“Apple Desktop Bus is the proprietary interface used by Apple in the late 80's and 90's for connecting devices like keyboards and mice to the system rather than a PS/2 interface.”

The implication (between the lines) that Apple went with a proprietary solution while an open one was available bends history a bit. Judging by release date, ADB predates PS/2 by half a year or so.

Also, was the PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface any less proprietary than Apple Desktop Bus at time of initial release?
Why the downvotes? OP put "fact" in scare quotes and provided a link to a scientific paper entirely refuting both mentioned "facts". It thus seems obvious that OP doesn't subscribe to those stereotypes, but furthermore subversively makes fun of those that do.

Downvoting without checking the link... Is this Twitter here or HN?
Every winter, looking at our chickens roosting in their unheated coop at -15C, I marvel at the ability of the descendant of a bird from the tropics to survive in a Canadian winter.

We don’t know, more likely the latter.

We can see that some galaxies rotate as if they had no dark matter, but we don’t know why their dark matter isn’t there.The prevalent, but still speculative, hypothesis is that it was “stolen” by a bigger galaxy in a close pass-by.
This is what happens all across the web, regardless of software. Raiding. IRC raids, forum raids, etc. Sometimes it's for fun, sometimes it's more malicious. Most software has ways to mitigate it. Temporarily closing new registrations, invite only registrations, throttling, IP bans, etc. Just like DDoS attacks, there is no true solution to this since that's how the public web and internet works.
That isn't a totally unfair equivalence; they were using the impeachment hearing to draw attention to what they considered the biggest problem facing America - Republicans winning the 2016 election. They could have been using the time to agitate for resilience and disaster preparedness. I wish someone would do that, Democrat or otherwise. COVID-19 will not be the last crisis.

One problem of VPS solutions is that they're easy to maintain until you have to do it. At some point the technical debt comes back and you need to upgrade the stack components and eventually the OS as well, without sacrificing uptime.

... if you did things well, it's just starting another instance and installing / copying things over with some minimum downtime. But if you don't have a 100% documented stack, you don't know which configurations you touched to make things work, you have files lying around, then you're probably going to pay back all your savings and more in the workdays needed to migrate.

At my current employer we never have time for maintenance, and we don't have professional expertise (the "I worked exclusively at this for many years" kind, I mean) at webhosting, security, system admin or dba, so I heavily lean towards more "managed" and cloud solutions.
I believe they've committed to continuing support for at least seven years.

I'll also point out that for some workflows having an Intel Mac is critical, and as such buying additional machines to put on the shelf for future use is going to be a thing.

I don't even think Apple is going to transition all their lines over any time soon. They didn't give hard timelines for different product lines in the announcements. They could still be making Intel Macs for years.

For instance, you can not make an objective assessment on whether prescribing a pain drug to patient is the right thing to do, because pain and suffering is a subjective experience.

There is no pain meter that gives an objective reading of the patients experience and outlook and then tells you if some medication is statistically justified, relative to the harm it causes.
>folks are getting banned for imitating politicians

Why is this bad? Freedom to impersonate other people is an issue orthogonal to free speech.
My point was, that it is hard and the lines are blurry.

But actually I do believe in the concept of unrestricted speech.

But I really don't know when was the last time, that was tried. There were times, when certain topics were ok to speak freely about, like racism, yes, but at those times other topics were restricted, so what exactly are you talking about?

The Answer, by Robinson Jeffers
Then what is the answer?- Not to be deluded by dreams.

To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence, and their tyrants come, many times before.

When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.

To keep one's own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted and not wish for evil; and not be duped

By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will not be fulfilled.

To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand

Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars and his history... for contemplation or in fact...

Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness, the greatest beauty is

Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe. Love that, not man

Apart from that, or else you will share man's pitiful confusions, or drown in despair when his days darken.

It's not that simple. Individual journalists (who need to eat) don't decide on the business model of the publication they work for.

Yes, they are interdependent but just because I want to make sure that writers of my consumed media get paid doesn't mean I have to agree with how the publication model of monitization.

How many paywalls from the around the world would I have to pay for cover the links published in hn/reddit etc?

Why not charge a microtransaction per article or even article section read?

Why not use non-tracking ads?
I think we are really torturing language here. I don't want to get into specifics of what constitutes business value, how to value brand and customer satisfaction and so on. I can add more examples like https://deepmind.com/blog/article/deepmind-ai-reduces-google... that shows how neural networks helps in the pure bottom-line sense you care about.

Let me close my argument: neural network techniques developed in the last ten years are super useful here and now, they are used by billions of people every day and they do make their lives easier.
While the idea itself might be consider 'gimmicky', almost every study that has been done on the matter shows that music positively affects plant growth.. which is not something that most people are aware of.

You don't need (and probably don't even want) every single participant doing this.

A given community can pool money on a server of their own, and federate it with other communities' servers if they want.
I don't even have any counter arguments to make, you can speculate as much as you want, the home prices were suppose to drop drastically and I was waiting for it. They went up after the withdrawal agreement was signed :-/

I was under impression that whatever you just mentioned would have happened by now, but Nissan and Unilever are now moving to UK and all the speculations are going down the drain.

I have come to a conclusion that all the anti-brexit hysteria has been priced in, and indecisiveness is proving more costly as time goes by!
> Is there anything wrong with websockets? I thought websockets were cool.

I'm excited for the option of having an unreliable connection. Currently you'd need to establish a webrtc data connection to the server, which is a bit cumbersome when you really don't need or want the rest of webrtc.
Hi, could you give a general comparison vs CLIC workshop[1] submissions at CVPR? It seems to be the same end goal and CLIC was even sponsored by Google so I am a little puzzled as to why I didn't see your work there.

I completely agree (it's always the small changes that make things work that cause problems), but for this product which is greenfield and has a very small team, it seems like a good fit.

Like, I wouldn't run Shopify like this, or anything really large, but it may get them to a better place right now.

What I really liked about this post was the discussion of what they actually needed and how to achieve their goals. It's a tradeoff of time against money, and I wish more people documented their thought processes and approaches to this kind of stuff.
Sadly true. That's the only portable way I found to implement something akind to a Kahan sum so that no compiler / flag would destroy it.

Not sure about this particular instance, but this user's comments in this thread show quite aggressive, preconceived and completely unnecessary stance.

To people like that everything is sexist/racist/-phobic.

Since HN is generally above that, comments trying to derail the actual discussion and lower the level of discourse are not welcome.
But a high trust society, built up over decades, represents a resource that can be looted by individuals exploiting that trust for their own benefit.

This is exactly the business model of Uber, AirBnB and other "disruptive" companies that extract profits from side-stepping regulations that their competitors bear the overhead of complying with. People have seen the powerful and wealthy getting away with it - Uber is still in business no matter how many times courts find that their employees really are employees - and so try it themselves.
Well, I do have around 8000 documents, and I organize them with a mix of hierarchy and tags (plus search). My entire site (taoofmac.com) was built that way, but the hierarchy was key - otherwise I would have trouble grouping and managing related things.

It's trained from early in bootcamp that misconduct must be reported and dealt with.

The Gallagher debacle did not go like you're claiming. Some of the SEALs who reported him went on to choice assignments that I know of personally, and I believe at least one of them has made Chief since (for the non-Navy that's the biggest promotion an enlisted Sailor can get). There's always some measure of risk I suppose, but NSW handled that case by the book. The lawyers fucked it up, and then his lawyer managed to get the case into the public eye and by extension a CINC with no military experience or understanding who interfered in the case over and over.

The military isn't perfect in this area by any means, but in my experience if they're going to err, they're going to err on the side of a full investigation and throwing the military member under the bus whether deserved or not.
> As someone who has been looking for good anti-racialist arguments for a long time...

Racism isn't useful and isn't actionable at a policy level.

Let's suppose there is some trait X (could be IQ test score, high jump ability, whatever) that is statistically variant by rigorously defined race. Group A scores on average 98, group B scores on average 103.

The median difference between groups doesn't actually matter, because individual scores are spread on a normal distribution. Therefore some percentage of individuals of group A will score higher on trait X than individuals of group B even if on average they do not.

So how can you effectively filter out individuals for entry into some special program? (for example, the high jump event in the Olympics)

Well, you have to test each individual. And if you want the very best, it behooves you to test each individual as fairly as possible, because there's always a chance that you will sample an individual from group A who is a super star, and also find an individual from group B who is a dud.

And it is the same for any other trait you would like to filter for.

Racism is an attempt to find a convenient mental shortcut so that it may provide cover for hatred of an out-group. But racism is ineffective and stupid.
There’s some discussion around doing HTTP/2 streams (reliable, stream-based) with the fetch API (I am not certain which browsers allow for this), but note that these are only one use of WebTransport - the main thing I’m excited for is doing unreliable datagrams without bringing in an entire WebRTC stack.
There are countless millions of work hours invested in software that uses this perfectly reasonable, time tested character matrix approach.

If that's not enough, there are slightly fewer million work hours invested in other GUI technologies, from the first ones all the way to Electron
With respect to point #2, the real reason why revamping any regulatory regime "top to bottom" is difficult is because so much organizational, legislative, and administrative cruft has built up over the years in the federal government that means no one individual has the authority to drive reform. See FDA's discussion paper from Jan 2017 on revamping the LDT regulatory regime (https://www.fda.gov/media/102367/download) for more on the inane complexity created by the federal bureaucracy: "For example, a test made by a conventional IVD manufacturer would be regulated by FDA initially. If a laboratory made a significant modification to that test, it would then be regulated by CMS. If the original manufacturer then made another significant modification, the modification would be regulated by FDA."

Also: "In 2015, FDA established an Interagency Task Force on LDT Quality Requirements with CMS, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health"

Any manager worth his/her salt can tell you that a task force involving four different agencies is unlikely to ever result in any meaningful change. A cornerstone of effective management is to designate one person who is responsible for execution and hold them accountable. This is exactly how the executive branch, from the president on down, is supposed to function (with oversight from the judicial and legislative branches, of course), but few parts of it are like that after centuries of bolting on overlapping agencies and departments.

Implementing enough accessibility to enable automated testing is a good start, but unless you're aware of the needs of people using screen readers and other assistive technologies (and possibly incorporate those requirements into your automated tests), you won't automatically get full accessibility just by exposing the information that your tests need in order to control the UI.
It isn't that we all know how to build this stuff - but more that we know the stuff exists. We all have these ideas. It is online, it is written in books. The chances of all of our information being lost is slim. We have a pretty good literacy rate now as well. You don't need to know everything: Other folks know a lot about mining, making wire, and so on. Some folks know a great deal about making medicine, fixing bones, and so on.

This is why I say it won't be lost: We have the information, both digital and in hard copy form. We know it all exists: We'd rebuild. It isn't going to need YOU, specifically, to remember it all, but simply to know this stuff exists and understand that folks are peppered through the earth that know about the technologies you don't - and know what these things are used for. We wouldn't lose toilets - a well documented technology - we'd rebuild them. A solar flare wiping out some of the communication routes wouldn't be enough. That would simply be a setback - a major one, but not enough to destroy things.

This is all despite folks not believing in a round earth or vaccines and all of that stuff.
I’m going to echo a few other comments on here and say that, although it may frustrate you to hear, focusing on your mental health is the urgent priority here—-but also, thankfully, something that will have positive side-effects across many domains.

As someone who has struggled seriously with self-harm in the past, this is not just a regrettable by-product of coding problems; this is a significant attempt by you/your body to regulate an environment that feels out of control, to cope with overwhelm, to distract yourself from facing something else—-ymmv, but until you work on understanding what triggers this (just coding? Other things too?), and develop tools for dealing with situations that provoke these intense feelings, this problem will re-occur in one form or another. Essentially, it’s too soon for a focus statement like “get better at leetcode” because the problem statement hasn’t been defined yet. That’s something you (and a therapist and/or workbook, online resource etc, if money is a challenge) can do together.

Now the good news: not only can you address this, but doing so will have amazing and unforeseeable benefits in more areas than just coding. This stuff never fully disappears, but I can now look at a passing thought to hurt myself as a “check engine light”—-it does not have power over me, it occurs seldom, and if it does, it means something needs addressing.

Best of luck.
Would be ideal to implement the algorithm more efficiently. I remember my Pentium 100MHz rendering and displaying bigger "plasma fractal" images almost instantaneously in ~1995. In this implementation it takes >1 minute (at least until I aborted, and it was nowhere near done) to render a 250x250 version on my 8-core 3.5GHz laptop.
The word "stalker" comes from the 1500s. Deer stalking is a profession that existed in the 1800s. Roadside Picnic came out in 1971.

Maybe you mean Roadside Picnic introduced the English word "stalker" to the Russian language? It certainly didn't coin the term (create a new word).
