How do you deal with correct fonts for CJK and especially the combination of CJK and latin fonts in one sentence?

Do you let the user's browser choose the correct font or are you ensuring the correct combination of fonts for both latin and japenese/simplified chinese/traditional chinese is used as you expect with web fonts (if allowed by the browser)? The user's latin font most likely won't have the glyphs for traditional chinese do you then let the browser choose the correct fallback font?

Well the point is that OP is obviously not happy being a freeloader, which is why they posted here about it.

This sort of tough-love feedback to really useful to someone looking for meaning in their work. The reality is, sometimes you have to make your own meaning. If what you're being handed at work is boring and easy, it can be self-love to start asking around for more interesting stuff to do.

Young people in particular can have a hard transition coming out of school, where the structure and goals are handed to you, into the "real world", where a lot of the rewards flow to people who have the ability and willingness to create structures and goals for themselves and others.

I agree with the sentiment of your comment but let's please keep the discussion civil here on HN and refrain from personal attacks like "you have a bright future as a republican spin doctor".
I think you misunderstand what AI ethics is.

Do you want facial recognition cameras on every street? That's what no ethics oversight gets you.
Totally off-topic:

He he, that's a funny link. We know the end-state of absolutely unfettered capitalism :-)

We've had it, that's why they invented the guillotine. It was called "feudalism".
While Barrier works well, TinyPilot is more capable. TinyPilot gives you full control of the remote machine, including BIOS screens. With Barrier you rely on having Barrier running on both machines, so you can't use it for things like reinstalling an operating system. Or fixing a machine that won't boot.
By bringing in the bigger picture, it seems you're just making the moral case stronger? That means he's profiting from rent seeking, just like the shareholders. (And probably is a shareholder too.) The money comes from the same places.

To complicate things a bit though, this looks like systematic failure in some parts of the organization. Doing your bit to try to fix that failure seems like a good cause.
I got into an argument with a second grade teacher (when I was in second grade) who insisted that the Moon was only visible at night. It still rankles me to this day how wrong she was, and how she could have easily been disproven simply by going outside and looking. Even worse, I think she was the science teacher or something.
Well that's completely unsurprising.
Can we just start over on the entire web stack?

1. create a serious styling and scripting framework, basically React as a language since people seem to like it
2. implement an interpreter in WASM. Ship the interpreter with the website unless the browser says not to
3. over time, build the interpreter into the browser
I have been using one from IOGEAR (SKU GUS432CA1KIT) for the last 6 months and I haven't had a single problem with it.

I use it to switch all of my peripherals (keyboard, mouse, wireless headset dongle, webcam, and mixer) between my desktop and my MacBook several times per day and have not had a single failure yet.
I believe that s1t5 is trying to say no one does it because it is very hard to do.

Especially in a bigger company, where the work you do is tied to so many others' work in the company (sales, etc) - how do you expect them to figure out what the value of the work you did is, vs your teammates, let alone vs all the non-SW folks involved?

Example: You could have done a great job, but someone further down the pipeline screwed things up and the product never got released, and your code is never reused. This is a case where your work produced no value to the company (through no fault of your own). Should you get paid $0?
While it's fun to play with, and at least makes 1K images, the end result seems hardly to match the 3 categories. I picked Monet/Portrait/Color Field and got a nice open field. I think it's not that well trained.
The question feels too open ended in the sense that there is no baseline premise on how the adjustment is being made. Cost of living varies greatly, can change at different rates, and if you're talking about the US, there are some aspects of your pay that aren't directly reflected in your salary - health benefits.

Let's take that latter point as an example. Health care plans differ per state and you are usually better off having your health care plan be from the state you are living in. At all the companies I've worked at, the plan is usually from the state where they have their HQ and subsequently, most employees. If you live in a branch office, that means your plan isn't as useful to you (this actually factored into comparing similar offers to me recently).

Now an employee moving knows the risk and how this will affect their coverage. For a company to adjust their salary based on where they live, how will they take this into account? Are they going to do a per-state/per-city level analysis of say, how their provider network coverage differs? Then pay you more if your coverage is worse off?

I'm not a risk taker, but I'd be willing to bet that most debates won't take something like this into account. However, this and many other factors matter a lot in determining what is considered "fair" compensation for a given area. If the premise of what a fair adjustment is cannot be established, then I believe that this isn't even a debate because the hypothetical reduces to, "what excuse can we use to cut someone's pay?"
That the only example you can find is the worst US flu season in recent history with about double the impact on most measures of a typical year pretty much disproves your “frequeently” claim all by itself.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html

Given the nature of seasonal flu, it's quite likely that by the time that was noticed, the impact lag time of any control measures would have made them pointless, but maybe there is an argument that control measures would also have been warranted in 2017-2018. But, in any case, health systems in the US being overwhelmed, at the local community—at least urban and suburban, the rural situation can be worse because of the impact of variations when small numbers are involved—is not, contrary to your claim, a frequent occurrence.
Agree, pretty much every software tooling improvement (eg. compilers, IDEs, higher level languages, docker, full-featured frameworks, AWS, Ansible/Terraform/Salt, package management, etc.) has only led to more software engineers instead of less.
Thank you :) do you have any ideas on how I can make it more friendly (less complicated)?
In my opinion one should be paid a rate commensurate with what you produce for your employer. If you choose to live in a remote location where your salary goes further, you should be able to enjoy that outcome. It should be no surprise any adult that employers will pay the least they can. When they do that, employees vote with their feet. Good employers count the cost of turnover and generally pay what is required to keep their productive employees. Large systemic changes upset the "normal case". My friends (and their managers) left at the company from which I retired took pay or hour reductions to get through the covid-19 issue. Nobody liked it, but there were few options at the time.
Wait, are you complaining about how mathematicians currently tend to write informal descriptions of concepts or about the informal descriptions in the intros to Wikipedia articles? I think those things are pretty different.
Depends on the product. Something like an Edge bike computer will be fine at least.

Just keep shipping routers that support both IPv4 and IPv6 and you won't have a problem. If IPv6 gets popular enough, you won't even need NAT on that interface--it will just be an admin network. This is only an issue when major OSes start dropping IPv4.
Any organization that reaches a certain size will encounter things like this. The larger an organization gets, the more the productivity level tends to regress towards the mean. So, people with higher productivity will likely feel unfulfilled and people at the lower end will still feel inundated. It is both a mechanism of success and a detriment to such organizations. Successful because it standardizes things, ensuring more consistent quality and productivity overall - the end goal, after all, is to eliminate uncertainty as much as possible in daily operations. Detriment because, pertaining to the the consistency of quality and productivity, it tends to regress at a lower level.

The salaries tend to be higher simply because these large organizations are typically much better capitalized, not necessarily because the people that work there are that much better than everyone else. This is why a lot of high performers tend to strike off on their own at some point in their careers - dissatisfaction with mediocrity. But then their own companies, if successful, grow to a level where, once more, productivity and quality regresses towards the mean and they find themselves in a self-created bureaucracy as the organization matures.
The article seems fairly problematic.

EDIT: Well this is proving to be a pretty wild ride. As far as I can tell both this post and its replies (by TheAdamAndChe and ebg13) are getting voted down, which is very surprising to me (I would've expected either/or not both).

That leads me to believe there's something wrong with my link.

Does HN know something about my link that I don't?
The fact that, back in June, 61% percent of republicans thought that the worst of the crisis was behind us explains how the epidemic picked up so much pace. That was an increase from 42% in April. I wonder what the current figures are.
Nope. There's no bonuses at Amazon (at PE/SDE levels at least), and there are compensation bands for each level. A top-ranked SDE3 that delivered DynamoDB should have similar compensation as a top-ranked SDE3 working on internal tools.
This was also how graphics worked in Prodigy, IIRC.
For which problems or challenges are you looking for solutions? We're working on an open-source privacy & security engineering toolkit:

https://github.com/kiprotect/kiprotect

You can of course build a lot of things yourself, advanced privacy & security measures like pseudonymization & anonymization can be quite complex to implement though, so we think it makes sense to rely on external providers for those. Let me know if you want to chat, you find my contact info in my profile. I know a lot of vendors in this area so if you have specific questions I'd be happy to help.
For a minimal serial-port access program, I usually prefer the classic cu(1) (originally a part of the UUCP program suite); miniterm is basically an old-DOS-style program in the same vein as Telix or PC-Talk, and is generally too heavyweight for my purposes.
Note: The spreadsheet program comes from 1979 and VisiCalc, which was so enormously popular that many people bought Apple II computers just to run VisiCalc. Lotus 1-2-3 was written a few years later as a VisiCalc clone which took advantage of the larger screen and memory of the IBM PC.

The issue is when the companies aren't trying to attract people. If the work can be done remotely they typically want to pay less based on local CoL.
We're really of the same mind here, but the problem is that people read "powerpoint is best used to supplement discussion" and think "I'm using powerpoint in a discussion, so I'm ok"

I should have probably started with a disclaimer: I'm a PhD scientist at a major American R1 university. I collaborate with researchers and business partners around the world. I regularly write/share powerpoint decks, because it's the right tool for the job when I have figures and pictures of my work to share. When I post design documents, calculations, etc, I always write long-form, typically using the Tufte-handout class.
I think that is solid advice. Take the bull by the horns and make your own destiny. There is not much downside to reaching out to the legends but so much upside potential here.
I challenge you to present your best single source of evidence to support your argument.

After you have presented that, you are not allowed to come back with more evidence. It was what you consider the best and most rock solid. Something you hang your credibility.

Usually the opinion like yours is just 'general attitude' and some individual instances of scientific fraud that is not evidence of anything being consistently biased.
Not by much. Salary is mostly decided by supply and demand. These are tied to your worth to the company, but very loosely.
Yup. If you just want a CPU, use a CPU. an FPGA is a terrible substitute, and generally you only want to embed a CPU on them if you are either developing a CPU or you want a not very fast CPU as an addon to a design which is already using an FPGA (and generally for this nowadays the vendors make FPGAs whith a CPU on the same die, because it's so common and frees up quite a lot of the FPGA fabric and power budget).
I consider them to be unavoidable, barring some extreme off-the-grid efforts. Your photo is out there. Your DNA doesn’t have to be.
Which maybe means the Swiss cops know what they're doing, and we shouldn't be quick to mock this scheme.
Notice the price in Japan, which is an island and so all in/out-bound traffic has to go through undersea cables. Similar story for South Korea, which for all purposes is also basically an island.

It's actually not even entirely uncommon for people to not have dedicated home internet and just get unlimited, unmetered, mobile service and tether when at home or use a wireless puck -- like bandwidth heavy users of streaming video.

The last time we were in those areas, our AirBnBs also didn't have home internet/Wifi. The hosts just provided a puck that we were allowed to take with us wherever we went and just tether to it while in a backpack. Even though we have Google Fi, it saved a ton on mobile data and offered full 4g data speeds literally every place we went.

I understand the box model well and I still hate CSS. I just feel like CSS has way too many unique things to remember that have no apparent logic to them.
In terms of build quality, Dell's Latitude business notebooks have been great for a very long time. I have one from 6-7 years ago that's still running strong.

I've also been really happy with my Razer Blade which I've used alongside a Macbook Pro for the last ~3 years.
The NES and SNES classics come with excellent controllers (side-by-side then with the originals and it’s hard to tell the difference) and aren’t hard to “hack” to run an expanded library. Disk space is limited but you can fit about as many games as a person’s realistically likely to ever play on them.

There are adapters for the controllers but I’ve owned a couple over the years (to use the Wii Classic Controller over USB) and they barely work to begin with, then break after a bit, it seems. Dunno why.
Maybe this is where USPS' money went
This was discussed a year ago at length:

Yes and no. If a company wants to pay less they typically calculate their reduction based on CoL. But I agree that it is doubtful they'd ever pay more.
Or, he had the foresight to realize that (as we have learned by our own experience) the atomic age did not lead to the end of the human species. If anything, if we had more fully embraced the atomic age and gotten off of fossil fuels in the mid-1900s by creating many more nuclear power plants, we may have been able to avert the current climate crisis that is this generations version of the dreaded atomic age.
Most obvious choice, but the USB port might not be able to provide enough power. You could splice in an external adapter with a bit of work, though :)
@faang0722 - So, I've never worked for a FAANG, but I have some comments:

First, step up your game. If you are the best on the team without even trying, and doing so little work, then you don't understand why they hired you.

Specifically, you are acting like an individual, when you should be leading the team (leading, not managing).

What you should be doing is taking your team to the next level.

Working to make them better developers.

Working to make the team more efficient.

Working to make the codebase better (as opposed to just improving the app).

Working to improve the toolchain.

Working to make the development pace faster without ruining quality.

Etc.

Many more things, but I'll keep it to that list - I think you get the gist of my comment.

Small changes at huge scale have huge impacts. Think of car designers who work hard to eek out 1 more MPG from a car (and them multiply that by a million cars).

Discipline and many small deliberate actions got us to the moon - it can get you where you should be.
That's another pattern I really dislike, and deliberately avoid. I don't want to use my content as a bargaining chip to collect emails or what-have-you. I have that luxury because my topic is easily monetised. Most content creators don't.

In general, the internet got incredibly annoying, but I can understand why. Part of it is because we feel entitled to free content. There are few business models that allow people to be rewarded for their work while still offering a product for free. It usually involves selling something the user's data or attention.
Wait, are you saying the tools you use for JSON don't work for non-JSON data? ;-)

Chrome also decompresses gzip and understands TCP/IP, but it doesn't handle LZMA or SS7.

Sure, thanks to our cult-like following of bad principles, we've made support of on a pretty broken stack with lots of terrible consequences ubiquitous. I'd argue that's bug, not a feature.
I've had a Thinkpad X220 as my Linux machine for years, and I love it. The computers are cheaper than a Mac and are built to last.
These are pretty different classes of machines. The 4800H performs 64% better at R20 (representative of rendering tasks), and 61% on Geekbench 5 (representative of general productivity). https://www.notebookcheck.net/R7-4700U-vs-R7-4800H_11683_116...

The Envy 13 is also limited to 16GB of soldered RAM while the Slimbook can be upgraded to 64GB. The 15" version has a huge battery advantage over the Envys.

It's also worth noting that the pricing listed includes a 21% VAT. The pricing is more competitive once you take that into account.
That’s very true but it’s more of a criminal justice problem than a privacy problem. The same issue could happen (and has) with fingerprints or other biometric data.
If option A is regular blood tests with an endoscopy to confirm should the blood test come back positive and option B is getting endoscopies on a regular basis, option A is a no brainer. While it might not be super invasive, I'd definitely like to keep the number of times a tube has to be shoved down my throat to a minimum.
I don't believe anyone on HN is so naïve that they think that the main reason crime rates vary between areas is that police presence varies. Your post makes it sound like you are, but I assume that you only think varying presence skews the numbers rather than generates them?
If you need access to the power and reset, you can replace the respective buttons with a cheap relay switch controlled by GPIO. If you know what you're doing you can also solder your own circuit using opto-isolators instead of relays, to reduce the power draw on the Pi.
What if every place where they live is paying them around the same rate? Should every person be expected to move and uproot their life to find a job that pays them enough to live on?
You can learn to left mouse. If your mouse is ambidextrous already, move it over to the left of your keyboard and try it for 30-60 minutes a day for a couple weeks. I like left-mousing at work and right-mousing at home (strange I know), and when I left mouse, I prefer the buttons flipped (index finger always is 'left click', etc).

If your mouse is right-hand specific, try getting a ambidextrous one next time. Most of the ambidextrous mice these days are gaming mice, but they work fine for pushing cursors around too.
The "cascade" was, for sure, a mistake.

FWIW, tailwind solves this problem (in a tedious way).

So, what have you done to fix these issues?

You might actuall go even faster than PCIe, by pretending being a DDR4 memory stick.
A relativistic definition of intelligence: I think it would be hard to do, e.g. your example would make dogs one of the most intelligent species on Earth, relative to humans, much smarter then chimpanzees. To be frank I find the whole concept of intelligence to be more problematic then its worth.

That said, if we are ever able to establish communication with a species other then our own that evolved elsewhere in the galaxy, intelligence might at that point become an outdated concept.
People delay kids mostly because there's other stuff they want to do first (or instead). Travel, succeed in their careers, etc. This is especially true in a high-growth economy because early-life career advancement, investment, etc is more valuable because of compounding.

In an austere, sustainable lifestyle, there are fewer things to do instead of have kids. The current economy both applies lots of pressure to delay kids and provides lots of alternatives to people on the fence about them.

In an entirely re-imagined, sustainable, economy, will the invisible hand keep family sizes down the same way it does in developed nations today? I'm not sure.
You've said everything I wanted to say but I wasn't able to express. CSS is nothing like programming. I am a decent programmer and I can write actual code in virtually any language that's new to me, in minutes. CSS is always tedious and God forbid I don't use it for a couple of months - then I've got to go back and re-learn everything. I'm on my fourth round of re-learning about CSS because I'm not purely a front-end developer.
In a DAW, accelerating a heavy VST plugin might make sense. But often those are amenable to being translated to GPGPU code already.

I guess the one place where GPGPU-based solutions wouldn't work, is when the code you want to accelerate is necessarily acting as some kind of Turing machine (i.e. emulation for some other architecture.) However, I can't think of a situation where an FPGA programmed with the netlist for arch A, running alongside a CPU running arch B, would make more sense than just getting the arch-B CPU to emulate arch A; unless, perhaps, the instructions in arch-A are very, very CISC, perhaps with analogue components (e.g. RF logic, like a cellular baseband modem.)
