> I said high bills are almost always due to developers and not the cloud provider.

I feel that's where you keep missing the whole point. Somehow you're stuck on thinking that an expensive service is not a problem if you can waste time micromanaging and constantly monitoring expenditures to shave off a bit of cost from the invoice. Yet, somehow you don't register in your universe the fact that there are services out there that are both far cheaper and arguably better for this use case.

Therefore, why do you keep insisting on the idea of wasting time and effort micromanaging a deployment like pets to shave off some trimmings off a huge invoice if all you need to do to cut cost to a fraction of AWS's price tag is to.... switch vendor?
I would assume that to achieve a 7 day battery life they only take rare measurements of your heart rate, which makes it unfit for the kind of high resolution heart rate tracking people are used to from fitness watches. They also mention that any sport which has a significant level of hand involvement might disturb the reading.

They do still track general intensity of activity though, which for general health is probably a more relevant metric than exact heart rate.
If someone pwns your m/c they can "search" and get all password right, what am I missing? May be you should prompt for the master key instead of exporting? Or you are depending on the fact export goes away with the term session?
Modern computers have some sources of entropy that can be used to create a random numbers. For example, the timings of the memory access, race condition of threads. User interaction (mouse movement, delays between keystrokes) can also be used as an input signal to feed a random number generator (which is some hashing algorithm).
Such things are giving me hope that eventually all compilation to native CPU code will converge on a singular project. There's so much fragmented effort!
This is moot. I cover it because some apps turn it on, on an action I didn’t quite expect will start the camera.

If there were an explicit confirmation asking me each time if I really wanted to allow camera access (like a delete file confirmation), I might consider not using a cover. And you can have a ‘don’t ask me again’ for this app option.
How long were Star Wars toys popular in the 70s and 80s?
Why is voting with paper hard?

Voting happens on a day where nearly nobody has to work.

People who can't leave their home, or are not home on the day you can vote, can still vote, they just request a mail-in vote card.
I like the elevator bank analogy. You are waiting for an elevator. There are four equidistant elevator doors, all arranged in one line. Elevator #3 is out of order. Where do you stand?

Turns out the answer depends on what you want to optimize - maximum walking distance, average walking distance, or average square walking distance.
Ok, but how does that provide intuition for sum((S_i)^2) reaching a minimum at the mean of the x values?
This is how Massachusetts has been doing it for years. Fast local counts, complete paper trail.
Yes. To claim to have Imposter Syndrome is really a form of humblebrag, and often a way of seeking validation. "No, you really _are_ smart and capable"
Please, share the circuit for the LED. To take a picture, it takes 4ms - a human eye would not even register that LED turning on.

I don't think I even mind, because you've also broken physics and very possibly found a way to generate unlimited electricity forever.

Unless there is an option to send higher voltage to the camera (control the VRM) and increase the current through the LED wear it off quickly for instance. The statement is incredible condescending, esp. given no link to actual schematics.
So it basically consumes 3-4 mAh a day? That's crazy little.
Gen 2
Tiny enough to paste the whole thing here. Clever trick to insert a "." after the .com that seems to trick some of the ad targeting. Wonder how many other sites this works on?

chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) {

if (changeInfo.status === "loading" && /youtube.com/.test(changeInfo.url)) {

let url = new URL(tab.url);
if (!url.hostname.endsWith(".")) {

url.hostname = url.hostname + ".";
chrome.tabs.update(tabId, { url: url.href });
}}})
Agreed, got some good insights in the article and I will be reading more as well.

Also explains the sequelitis of the video game industry: while new ideas/IP can succeed, it's a risk. People really want more of what they know. Consider a random platformer, or the exact same game reskinned as Super Mario.
This is not so uncommon, though.

The FAA private pilot's license is often described as a "license to learn", for example: it gives you the technical permission to fly aircraft that are entirely unsuitable for someone who has as few as 40 hours flight time; even the right to be the test pilot for an aircraft that you built for yourself!

Both licenses are intended to help you with the foundational framework for success, like: what are the regulatory limits? how should I think about my personal limits? what's potentially dangerous? where and how can I learn more than the basics?
NEOWISE has been lining up with outbreaks of noctilucent clouds [0] as well for fortunate observers! With its position moving to be visible in the evening rather than before the crack of dawn it'll be a lot easier to look for soon for most of us. Seeing Hale-Bopp is one of the two most memorable astronomical phenomenon I've witnessed - It's on par with randomly seeing an exploding fireball while taking out the trash. This one's no Hale-Bopp but I would argue any naked eye comet is stunning and memorable. Don't pass this one up if you can help it.

While this is generally true, I distinctly remember from my childhood asking for and playing with Star Wars toys for the better part of a decade. (Yeah, there was an on-going franchise, but the toys sold for much, much longer than a year per episode.)

I wonder if there was something fundamentally different about that property or if there were just fewer options?
I've seen a lot of people waste time on writing documents that just sit there unread. No one wants to RTFM, esp one written a few years ago that is likely not accurate.
Yes, there are hostile developers. Yep, even pool requests with unwelcome features may be rejected (we prize them as focus in proprietary software).

Other... I can turn your rhetoric around: "Fixing bugs takes time. There is source code, yet in 5 years no one fixed. Looks like niche issue. You do not care about it so neither do developers."

Hey, it is not bad, at least you've confirmed you are not the only one. One can't even browse Opera issue tracker.
this is good advice-- you can run those boxes into the ground for five years and easily get paid back
Yeah, it's done by a background script. But genuine orphan tags should not be possible.
> should know better about something

It's been my experience that this is quite subjective.

For example, the standard leetcode binary tree tests.

When I mention that I'm not particularly good at them, I will usually get some variant of "Well, this is basic stuff that any programmer should know." –often delivered quite condescendingly.

But I've been writing ship code for over thirty years. I have a public portfolio with hundreds of thousands of lines of ultra-high-quality code, dozens of articles on software development practices, and multiple shipping apps for years (I write code every day –my GitHub ID Activity Log is solid green).

It's just that I started as an EE, and have been primarily self-taught. Since I have never encountered a binary tree in my professional experience, learning them has not been a priority. I'm certainly not interested in spending time learning impractical (to me) stuff, at the expense of learning what I consider the important stuff.

I'm also constantly trying out stuff I don't already know. It makes life interesting. I write about that here: https://medium.com/chrismarshallny/thats-not-what-ships-are-...
Rust has great support for modules (crates in Rust lingo). It can compile modules in parallel when they don't depend on each other.

The problem is that when you have module A depending on module B, rustc doesn't do a good job of compiling A and B in parallel. In contrast, in C/C++ you can handcraft your header files to ensure that A and B compile in parallel.
I feel like these debates are purely semantic. "low regulation" can mean anything.

The devil is always in the details. Every regulation is different.
That doesn't explain events like Apple, Google, Visa, and Mastercard all banning Gab. Reportedly, Visa and Mastercard even refuse to do business with Gab's founder's family.

Things like that aren't being driven by grassroots activism. These are decisions made by billionaires.
Re: the first paragraph--a lot of "formal CS education" focuses on systems and there are systems tracks. Where BSD came from, for example. So I wouldn't call it useless (while the parts that do not focus on systems do, indeed, not focus on systems). In fact, even the non-systems stuff isn't entirely useless for systems--eg. how ideas from ML and Cyclone influence Rust and its application of those ideas to systems use cases.

That said, all this is independently learnable, as is true for all things software.
Rust certainly has C++ attitude to performance, for example 'zero-cost abstractions'. That precludes GC. But this is more indirect influence: targeting the same niche
Not to throw a mean comment, but i think maybe it can help you in your life by giving you an external feedback :

i hope you don't have this kind of attitude in real life, because it instantly makes you look like an pretentious prick and loose any credit. Your original comment made me curious, and this one loose any interest in what your point of view actually is.

(fyi : HN is (mostly) a developer community with usually knowledgeable people working in the field. if you don't think explaining yourself here is worth it, i have no idea where you think you're going to have the opportunity to give your opinion)
This type of article is why I come to HN. I grew up in a tiny German town where even the most outward looking place, the big supermarket, was completely devoid of anything from outside central Europe. Our parents wouldn't let us watch movies for grownups, but playing SF2 on SNES - at an age that would send pedagogues into meltdown nowadays - did feel like the first glimpse of the wider world in more ways than one.

I always liked Blanka, maybe because his electric touch makes him a bit of a nerd.
Honest question: why is this downvoted? Is it bad advice? Which of it is?
Following on that, here is something:

" Thus, a good estimate to the problem stated above is that a real (gassy) human would need to save their farts for:

12.5 kilotons TNT / ((methaneenergy + h2energy) / day) -> years
1.9379377133697419931e+7

or about 19 million years to make the equivalent of the energy in a (small) atomic bomb! So the estimate given in that e-mail is off by a factor of at least 2.8 million! "

Now Mexico City has around 19 millions souls, given or take, right? (metropolitan area). That means, given the Mexican food is quite spicy and as such it's kinda farty too, every year Mexico City is releasing a Hiroshima bomb in potential energy every year through farts :).
I'm pretty sure mine is gen 2 as well.
A lot of people have talked about the weakness in India, but have forgotten the strengths.

Outside China, India is one of the largest single market

The long term growth rate is expected to be good

There is a countrywide GST (similar to VAT)

Uber, Amazon, Google are relatively free to be in the market, this is more liberal than in many EU countries

Add to that the younger population, surplus labour, tightening global immigration

More over India is a new unwritten partner with US, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea - there is plenty of give and take. India has concluded multi billion dollar defence deals with the US.

India has made a huge push in infrastructure investments, and building several industrial corridors

India has a strategic location in the ocean

India is the only big power in the region that can kick the CCP's ass if it has to, and the Chinese have been testing it out several times

Since the coronavirus, the state of UP (200 million population) has relaxed all labour laws that was preventing employment generation and investment, has aggregated government land for new industrial setup, twice the size of Luxembourg.
Social and political are synonyms my dude but yes not all communication is political but all communication is social.
Traditionally Guotie is different from Jiaozi, it is a long roll with both side open, often with the same ingredients as jiaozi (cabbage with pork or mutton), but nowadays people are lazy and made guotie using jiaozi. You still be able to find traditional guotie in Taipei, but sadly seldom in China.
My understanding is that Rust's slowness is mainly from code generation and optimization. `cargo check` performs full parsing and type-checking, and runs reasonably quickly.

The problem starts when Rust throws a ton of IR at LLVM. The current focus is on adding optimizations in Rust at higher level (MIR) so that it would cause less work for LLVM.
The point is that if Musk sold his shares the value of those shares would drop like a rock, partly due to supply & demand but mostly because that would signal non-confidence.

OTOH, Buffet regularly sells his shares, mostly indirectly by donating shares to charities who then sell the shares. The amounts are large enough that they do affect the stock price, but not by nearly as much.

That's why it's silly to say that Musk is richer than Buffet. If they both liquidated their positions, Buffett would be sitting on a bigger pile than Musk.

It's also moot because it's so obviously temporary. Musk is going to end up either bankrupt or king of Mars. Buffett is going to fade away. His money will end up doing a lot of good -- it may be directly responsible for eliminating polio, malaria and/or HIV. But that good will have the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation name on it, so Buffett's role may end up being forgotten.

Perhaps that's for the best, given the number of Bill Gates conspiracy theories are floating around.
Why slavery can't be used as metaphor in a context where it's not offensive?

Master/slave seems like perfect metaphor. Enslaving a thing is not racist of offensive concept. It's offensive practice among humans. Not in computing.
Libertarianism is essentially built on a single ethic, the non-aggression principle, which is simply that interfering with someone’s property by force is wrong. And that property is what one mixes their labor with. In other words people own the fruits of their labor, and consequently voluntary exchange or gift is the only ethical way to acquire property. In simpler words, libertarians believe stealing is wrong and seek to apply that ethic consistently. Thus the popular libertarian maxim “tax is theft”.

According to libertarians government as it’s currently practiced steals (takes by force) the fruits of individual’s labor called taxation, along with compelling the use of property through force, called regulation. The argument is
more complicated than this but that’s the essence. So “left libertarians” supporting taxation for the purposes of welfare programs contradicts the ethical foundation of libertarianism.

It’s a contradiction to advocate for the lack of government regulation on the basis of violating libertarian ethics while simultaneously advocating for welfare programs which violate that same ethic.
If b-word is no and white is yes, then something like "maybelist" or "perhapslist".
You should join the ARRL. That will put you in contact with the information you need, and other hams, if you choose.

They have a new magazine specifically for newbies:

http://www.arrl.org/On-the-Air-Magazine

Ham radio is a very diverse activity. Some hams prefer the technical end, others the social aspects. You'll find your preference once you get started.
If it's only personally verifiable with 'something you know' (by being present, see my other post here) would that suffice? You'd have vote verification (that you voted, not how), the system would know your list but not who you chose, but you could check the list was recorded - you could still lie about who you voted for, just as you can now.

(This is not a working, nor complete idea, I'm scanning around for inputs. Thanks.)
Guessing the extremely tiny battery has something to do with it. It's a bit like how Apple Watch's battery life tanks when you use it for exercising and I don't think the Apple Watch gives the most accurate/highest resolution readings.
> much power as the camera

You mean current, right? And it'd have current limit circuit, at a resistor but likely a slow start circuit entirely? Unless you share the schematics, it's an empty argument.
Yet the question is not "am I stupid or clever?", the question is should I take advice from the army's central Hitler's opponent whose decisive moment of the career is described by Wikipedia like this:

> Hammerstein repeatedly warned President Paul von Hindenburg about the dangers of appointing Hitler as chancellor. In response, Hindenburg assured Hammerstein that "he would not even consider making that Austrian corporal the minister of defense or the chancellor". Barely four days later, on 30 January 1933, pursuant to a request by Hindenburg, Hitler formed a cabinet as the German Chancellor [...]. Hammerstein was forced to resign from his office on 31 January 1934.
I think what the author is referring to is that other than beer (and cider) the SI units are used to measure booze in the UK.

You don't even tend to buy beer (or cider) by the pint outside of somewhere "licensed to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises" (ie a bar, pub, some restaurants). You order a pint (or a half, or a third, of very strong beers or to taste test several beers) to drink now, but when buying cans or bottles of beer for consumption later they're labelled in SI units like any other beverage e.g. a 330ml can or a 500ml bottle are perfectly normal things to see.

In a licensed premises the stronger classes of booze are measured in SI units too but with a convenience factor for ordering and, for weird historical reasons, each place of business gets to choose one of two definitions. For example a glass of wine could be 150ml or 175ml. Customers might say "A glass of the house red" but there must be a notice posted defining this as either 150ml or 175ml. Or vodka may be sold with a shot being defined as 25ml or as 35ml (again a posted sign tells you which) so you might say "A double vodka" and that's defined as either 50ml or 70ml.

Though they're not technically required, many British licensed premises use "optics" which are a device that fastens to a liquor bottle, the bottle is then inverted and the optic displays to the customer that there's a fixed measure of product (e.g. 35ml of whisky) ready to dispense, then a single motion dispenses that product into the glass without need for the staff to measure, when the glass is removed the optic refills ready for the next.
That conflict is only there if you assume redistribution is forced rather than opt-in.
This is awesome. Can’t wait to lift multiple African nations out of poverty and have my iPhone stay at a reasonable price.
Why Poor Places Are More Diverse
This is known as Blind Source Separation [1], and it's been a field of study for decades. The specific problem here seems to be the "cocktail party problem", where you want to isolate a single speaker (or in this case 5?) in a room full of conversations.

When I was in grad school, I knew an EE research group in the building next to mine working on this problem using ICA (independent components analysis) -- this was ca 2004, before the resurgence of deep learning. Even with ICA useful results could be obtained.

The results of the FB work [2] with RNNs are pretty impressive (audio samples).

I made an emulator for some aspects of her machine early on. Not to displace her project, which I thought was great (she's insanely talented), but to bootstrap development of software and demos for when the machine came out. I was on the list to get one of the boards. What she was working on was a far better machine than this 8-bit guy project.

But I pulled myself off the list and stopped working on it when she started making ad hominem personal attacks on me. I don't think she ever liked the emulator project, which is fine, but she made some rather paranoid false accusations against me. So I walked.

It's a shame her project is gone. But there's a similar machine, the Neon816, that is also really interesting.

But after having working with the 65c816 for that period of time I've decided it's a processor I don't really want to play with. It's really unpleasant to code for.
That is a problem.

There is another major problem, which is that rustc/cargo do not do a good job of compiling crates in parallel when one depends on the other.

There may well be other problems too.
Basically from 1978 (when they were released; they missed Christmas 1977 which was their goal) until they were discontinued in 1985 (a couple of years after the end of the original trilogy). While each movie added new figures and playsets, a fair number of figures were unchanged during the seven year period.
That’s correct, in most envs exports go away when the session terminates. I guess prompting each command could work, but the UX for that would be awful. I feel like the main concern you’re pointing out “if someone gets hold of your master key all your accounts are compromised” is the same issue any password manager like LastPass has. At least this tool everything is on your machine and you control it instead of a 3rd party. The encrypted flat file is portable and can be sent to other machines or servers as needed as well.
Take a look at the Neon816
Yes, except that we use google spreadsheets for collaborative editing. My coworker switched from MS Office to LibreOffice just because the former never detected UTF-8 encoding in TSV files.

I lived in Helsinki for a year about 12 years ago. Taking a ride without paying was doable.Tried to do the same in Copenhagen- had to change the train like 5 times for the sake of going 3 stops further,as there were so many inspectors. Stockholm,on the other hand, had barriers but I used to see people jumping them all the time, especially in the evening,at night.
Star Wars, Harry Potter, any Disney or Pixar movie, etc etc
> I don't even see that much similarity with C++ except for the philosophy of zero-cost abstraction

That is not really an explicit goal of C++, which is part of the problem rust is trying solve.
