The article opens with a story of someone who quit.
Have you looked at open source solutions? Tim Ansell is managing some great projects on open source solutions. Check out Symbiflow, LiteX, Yosys etc.
Not denying there was plenty of innovation in the layout manager space. But it's very possible that the standards committees for browsers weren't looking to those for inspiration at the time, especially before Gmail showed what was possible. Of course they might have done everything right, but just noting that hindsight is 20/20.
If your views happen to align with the mainstream, that still isn't a reason to change them in and of itself. Being ruled and controlled by the mainstream is bad, because the mainstream makes mistakes; but that doesn't mean that the right path is just to try and be as much the opposite of the mainstream as possible.
I looked into Moonlight, but don't have any nVidia cards laying around here to test with.

I tried Parsec on one machine and was super disappointed. Video quality and latency were fine, but audio sounded like crap, despite streaming at 512kbps. Since there's no option to stream uncompressed audio, and no debug options to figure out why it sounded so terrible, I had to write off their entire product as unusable.
Came to say the same thing. I placed an uppercase letter 'O' next to a zero in the preview text. They are very similar looking. I much prefer fonts with a dot or slash in the zero. If they go ahead and place a bar across the number seven and letter 'Z', I'm a bigger fan
Is it really an SUV?

Regardless of whether most people use an SUV for offroading or not, it doesn't matter. Most SUVs conform to some basic features, especially around wheel clearance being higher than a typical car.

This is just a roomier Model-3 or a Smaller minivan.
APC produces (or rebranded) power control modules you can control over Ethernet. They are probably expensive.

There are most likely cheaper products which would work. You should probably implement some kind of power control interface that could be used. Calling a shell script would be enough and some example implementations provided by your users. :) It doesn't need to be complicated.
On the contrary, I regularly read articles and watch videos edited by "their guys". I don't have much interest in listening to people scream on social media, but I'm genuinely happy to learn the perspectives of people who don't think the same way as me.
You live in a country of 330 million, you didn't expect that you will be setting policy for all those people with your singular vote...did you?
"HN seems to think police spend their shift waiting for crimes to happen in front of them"

Some police stations definitely work that way. And some even close their eyes, so they can go on waiting.

It is in the poorer areas, where you could arrest all day long to the point of why bother. Makes sense, if the source of crime is complicated.
Makes sense.

They look if they should buy or build.
I would hate to know that my feed is now prioritized by those with the biggest wallets.
To give an example, the Subaru Crosstrek is a lifted Subaru Impreza hatchback. They share nearly all parts, and have the same interior and cargo space. The differences are:

1. Crosstrek costs more ($22,145 vs $18,695)

2. Crosstrek is less efficient (33/27 mpg vs 36/28 mpg)

3. Crosstrek is taller (64" vs 59")

4. Crosstrek outsells the Impreza in the US (131k vs 66k)

Americans love feeling tall and are willing to pay for the extra few inches.

Nonsense and completely detached from reality.

Every worker's duty is purely to themselves, not some sort of bizarre worship of their employer.

Your duty to yourself under capitalism is to extract as much capital and benefit as possible from the market in exchange for your labor. If you can commit a line of code a week and still get paid your salary, you're working EXTREMELY efficiently. Even better if you manage to get a job where they're failing to get any labor from you at all.

Conversely every employer is focused on extracting as much production as possible from their employees. Efficient companies will cut off under-producing workers without a second thought and will continuously strive to minimize the cost of any employee.
Playing clips is broken for me (Firefox). Works only for first time, requires page refresh to work again.
I loved Max Wang’s point that Facebook has chosen to focus on political engagement over social engagement. Like many people who used FB early, I remember when it was more about friends than allies (and opponents).

Facebook profits massively from the politics of outrage, and for Zuckerberg to claim that Free Speech is a moral imperative is for him to take a Strategy Credit[0]. While I strongly believe that Free Speech is a moral imperative, I don’t believe that Facebook makes decisions on a moral basis.

Trailforks is power hungry but is great if you're on-trail. If you're off trail, hilariously Garmin Explore I think is pretty good, you can download Topo and USGS maps, but logging in isn't working right now :) so look elsewhere
> Single file components are just beautiful.

Not only in structure, but how they compose. The typical top-down tree components composition is typical. What is not immediately obvious is how child components can expose functionality upstream. So simple.
You're seeing some responses to this that are very cultural. Personally, I don't think a slow coast is a good long-term strategy for most people under a lot of circumstances (for many reasons). But putting the least effort in is seen as pretty normal in a lot of cultures. As someone else said, you're seeing a lot of Calvinist moralizing here IMO.
5-20ms[1], if the DSL is set to Fast path (not Interleaved).

The reason is simply because DOCSIS is working on a shared medium so in certain cases you have to wait for others to stop transmitting on your channel so you can transmit + there are much more unpredictable errors due to RF noise caused by having a lot of devices share a "single cable" (it's not REALLY single cable, it's split, but all noise will end up on the one feed to the CMTS) and also it's quite easy to get noise from neighbors.

Noise is often hard to solve (find the source of it), i.e. it's a household with a bad set top box power supply sending low voltage AC into the cable network.

Problems can be solved, and in some cities DOCSIS works very well, but often times it doesn't, and when it doesn't it's really difficult to fix it other than doing a node split (i.e. adding a new CMTS and moving half of the users to it) and proactively putting filters in everyone's house and controlling installations.

Also interested to know opinions on that.

> The only feature I'd like to see is a "camera off but still pingable" mode

i think that's called a slack message, or maybe email.
And given that GPS services are free, it's fantastic when you need to find your way around a town in a foreign city. I was using it to find my way around the medina in Marrakech last year.
Yep that's exactly what I told them that its mostly a hash collision when I was not willing to pay the chargeback unless they can explain why somebody else's number was on my account. That's why it makes me angry after I paid the chargeback and can still see another person's info in my account, that I realize they have all the information themselves already and they know the issue, they just refuse to fix it and acknowledge it. It's strange that they can see the mismatch information in my account all alone, but they only care about recovering the $80 chargeback, while I have already made another $1000 purchase from Costco. I think it may be a better approach to escalade to costco.
My point is that in most cases it wasn't the desired behavior, just sometimes tolerated if they were high-profile users with connections with the moderation team and/or otherwise provided valuable contributions.
Could you simply separate hydrogen from the water, using electrolysis, or other methods and then use the Sabatier reaction? [1] Carbon dioxide in bulk may be harder to come by on the moon, however.

Also, the Lunar Gateway [2] is a key part of the plans by NASA/SLS. It's not about settling on the moon, it's about making it a stop off point to refuel or pickup supplies before going on to a further off destination like Mars. Instead of having to have all your fuel and payload when taking off from Earth, you can have a lot of your supplies and weight on the Moon. This means your trip off Earth can be cheaper. Getting out of Earths gravity and getting to escape velocity is the hard part. Getting off the moon is a lot easier.

Ethics oversight won't stop there, though. The managerial class will seek to keep expanding it more and more, with increasingly arcane and insulting restrictions.

And is the research level the right place to stop that? I don't think so. That's a policy question.
That's what I took away as well. At some point all these stories have to be retracted and the truth told. It was a big deal for us as kids about Santa, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. What if there were hundreds more though? What if the parent only corrected a portion of these? What if the situation never arose again where the child would identify the lie and instead propagate it to offspring?

Perhaps we've just solved how religions start... /s

> There were plenty of other technologies that could've been used to organize large-scale virtual fight clubs (forums, BBSes, chatrooms, maybe even the telephone) but this didn't happen because nobody actually wanted to foster such toxic behavior.

“Nobody” is leaving out some pretty notorious sources of toxicity (e.g. 4chan). I think a key difference is that these huge platforms dramatically increase the reach of those communities by giving them much better tools, highly-available servers, etc. and in particular mainstreaming them into the same place everyone else is, making it easier to recruit and share outside those communities.

In the forum era, people had to learn about a particular site, learn the community, maybe create an account, etc. to know these existed — now it's just one Facebook share away and there's an advanced “engagement” system ensuring that anyone who likes something widely shared will continue to see other content from the same source without needing to seek it out. Brigading was most noticeable with a wave new of new accounts and there wasn't something like an ML system making that activity drive unrelated users to see it.
There are other, albeit more far fetched, ideas about the situation.

One I find interesting is that we are like a chick pecking away at our egg shell. As we get closer to being multi-planetary do we get to be more or less warlike? Do we settle on one ruling class and everyone else in bonds, or do we settle on a shared bounty? Do we destroy the world that birthed us, or do we come to grips with our own needs and develop what we need to live in perpetuity on the world we started on?

On a much larger scale it doesn't seem all that much different than the growth of a person from child, to teen, to young adult, and adult. And in those stages of growth the perception of the world and one's place in it changes. Some learn self restraint, others do not, Etc. Even before young people start to drive they get to point where doing stupid things can kill them.

The theory I find interesting is that civilizations are out there watching and the history is that some civilizations "grow up" and survive, and others don't. Some do something stupid in their "teen years" and kill themselves off, some develop a personality that results in them doing something that kills them. Some make it through that and become adults with a reasonable understanding and nominal "acceptance" of the things one has to do to stay alive and be civil.

Maybe when we're "old enough" as a civilization, and we certainly will have enough science to understand that other civilizations could exist and how. They will introduce themselves.
Smells Like Teen Spirit may have started the 90's but the Pixies arguably started Nirvana.
Banks and fintech often view their in-house tech as competitive advantages, and they usually don't care a whit about building cred in dev communities (a common reason why projects are OSS in the first place, to drive recruitment or promote a complimentary platform).

A good outcome isn't impossible, but it might be unprecedented
That's hardly surprising. Both social media and regular media are now part of the same competition to get more clicks. The whole model of online ad-driven content is rotten and creates the worst incentives.
And hopefully a mass exodus, as decentralized alternatives start to become more viable :)
> Can we just start over on the entire web stack?

Haha, so sorry, but: no.

And if we're starting over, when just start at the web stack?
Aren’t “rollbacks” done as separate transactions, that return account amount to Previous value?
Having done transformation work for the last 4 years I can tell you...the individual employee will almost certainly literally die of exhaustion before they see meaningful change.
I'm guessing the rationale for this is that even if the server's CPU can support onboard graphics, you wouldn't want to change the CPU's load profile just by plugging in a monitor to debug something? Or even to support CPUs that have no onboard graphics support?
Is the issue that the Navy denies using Twitch as a recruitment avenue or using Twitch as a recruitment avenue? They advertise on Twitch esports and they advertised on TV during sports.
If they avoid calling it a proximity bonus and call it an on-call bonus, legal may have some footing to pass on to HR. Though this is only an issue for existing operations.

If its an 8 hour workday, being able to make hypothetical emergency briefings at the office within 2 hours with no/short notice may be worth a 25% salary hike.

Its the new remote first companies that will exclusively hire for skill and balance the equation once the next wave gains more traction.

If it wasn’t fair, why did you accept the offer?

Let’s not pretend that FAANG employees are like an underclass that has to accept a job out of desperation.
Both is the same.

What matters is the intention.

I will tell my boy stories about christmas and fairies, but I will not tell him santa exists as a real person.
Now the FBI is investigating. If it was the same amount of accounts for regular users, who want to bet this would already be swept under the rug?
So just have an always on meeting using Zoom/Portal. How is that any different?
KVMs have been a the bane of my existence over the last 10 years. Almost 99% of the time they come with some ancient Java dependency that breaks on any modern OS and is barely usable. Not to mention the nightmare-ish KVM experience big players like OVH and Hetzner provide.

This is a superior solution to all of them.
For recording it's much better to speak slowly. You can always speed up slow speech, but doing the opposite (slowing down fast speech) does not bring you a good result yet.
Well those ports should never face the internet anyway. Most servers will have a dedicated (physical) port you use for IPMI or whatever -- vlan that and only allow access from your VPN. If you're extra secure you can full on disable the switchport until you need it.
Indeed, and the Swiss are being compared to the Swiss. (Canton to canton)
>AI could operate at a different level, why bother with typing characters?

Because if it does something wrong, you have to be able to find out what it is.
Yeah its a bit tough to match the inputs. I've found truncation has the biggest effect, and in a certain range all paintings look pretty similar. Try changing truncation to 1
I read about a "threat intelligence" company on here the other day who got hacked for all their breach data. Not all of it is super public, and none of the public dumps are in a tidy package where you can associate users in one breach with users in another breach. Sorry I couldn't find the name of the company.

But there are more than a handful of "threat intelligence" or OSINT providers. I'll let you Google it for yourself.
When you stigmatize suspension of disbelief (myths, stories), you setup the child to chronically suspend belief. You get a person who can only value what can be pointed to and measured. A gullible person is bad, but the other extreme is no better.
What is "parameter mono set to min. 0.5" and where do you find that?

Wow thanks for sharing the YouTube link. When you said teardown I didn’t expect anything that granular!
Try changing truncation to 1, that should've been the default and should fix things :)
I tried to do that 10 years ago. Didn't gain traction. Too complex an idea for most to want http://babblingbrook.net/
Down votes are fun. A good sign of being right and others being wrong. :)
Maybe GPT-3 and its successors could be used as a filter to force people to say something or meaningful or get ignored. Instead making new sentences it could be used as a tool to give "cliché index".

Imagine browser filter that kills platitudes, talking points, PR talk, and empty posturing just like ad blocker.
A while ago I started to set aside an R&D budget that goes towards developers writing open source, specifically Clojure and ClojureScript libraries, and tools like magit or CIDER. The amounts are still small (this is not an enterprise business), but I'm increasing them regularly.

I want to see a stable, long-term ecosystem with maintainers that are getting paid for their work.

No, the false positive rate is irrelevant. Let's say you want to check for cancer annually and the blood test has a 50% false positive rate:

If you only get endoscopies after positive results, you get an endoscopy every other year. If you skip the test and go straight to the endoscopy, you get one every year. Thus you get half as many tubes shoved down your throat if you get the blood test.

For a more reasonable false positive rate like 5%, you would have a 50/50 chance of getting a false positive any given decade. I'd much rather get 4 endoscopies than 40.

Indeed, for any false positive rate less than 100% (which isn't really a test to begin with) still on average decreases the number of endoscopies you need.

Really the metric that's important is the false negatives: if that's too high then I can't safely forego the endoscopy just because this year's blood test was negative. Even then though, if the blood test has a long lead time then maybe it's safe to wait and see how next year's blood test goes.

Which is amusing given that even here we have to deal with an upvote mechanism that boosts posts from strong extreme opinions.
I just got some wood cut for another project last night. They're usually pretty good about accuracy, in my experience. I think it all depends on the HD or Lowes employee you get. But I was very happy with the 48" and 66" cuts the gentleman I worked with last night made. Choosing between minimum wage or my novice, unpracticed hands, I think I'll take their hands when I can. As fun as it is to cut wood. :D
We used to tell children the truth. Just read the old fairy tales—Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.
Ask HN: Could you avoid GDPR if you don't have “Users”
Let's say you didn't have the concept of users in your database. No first name, last name, or email address. For example let's say your business just operated over SMS, so you store phone numbers. Could you avoid GDPR and all kinds of user/privacy related regulations?
But wouldn't these people still exist and not trust the outcome regardless? I wonder what the media consumption of these individuals looks like beyond Facebook.
As far as an actual road trip, no other all-electric comes close to Tesla simply due to the supercharger network. That said, it can't compare (and probably won't for a while) to an ICE road trip.
We could get into the conversations about entitlement, sociopathy, whatever, but lets try to help:

Situation: "I only have to work one day a week to keep up, and so I only work that one day and slack off the rest of the time".

Possible causes:

1. Depression / Mental health issues

Seek help. I know: depressed; so hard to do.

2. Doesn't actually enjoy programming.

Wait till the pandemic is over and get a different job or start a company doing something you enjoy.

3. Enjoy programming, Team sucks.

FAANGs are huge companies with thousands of teams. Find a different team.
Amgen stresses the importance of luck as a leadership skill
Yeah, this 100% semantics, with a misleading headline.

A better story would have read "How the U.S. Navy leverages Twitch and esports as a marketing channel". Instead, it takes a quote from one of the players, Crosswhite, then labels Crosswhite as representing the whole Navy with the headline: "The Navy Says It's Not Recruiting on Twitch".

What's worse is it tries to sell this controversy, as if the Navy is denying its involvement and Vice unearthed some secret documents, which is just not true.

Here's the quote from the article:

Machinist's mate First Class Andrew “Saltysn1pe” Crosswhite answered a question from the audience about why the Navy was streaming video games. “We’re here to show that we play video games, literally,” Crosswhite said. “We’re not here to recruit. That is not the point of this.” According to Navy documents viewed by Motherboard, that’s not true.

Crosswhite obviously meant that they are not actually recruiting on the channel, but the purpose is undoubtedly marketing for the Navy. I don't think any of the players on the team are that naive — they're supported by the Navy because of the marketing opportunity.
The actual hatchback/liftback trunk design is far more practical, however, and is part of why wagons/estate cars and hatchbacks are more popular in Europe where a car's footprint is more of a concern (and particularly hatchbacks in many Asian cities where the footprint is even more constrained). I think expanding vertically is still better than expanding horizontally, within reason.

As you probably know, it's beneficial both for the wide opening to insert larger objects into the trunk as well as the folding of seats (less common in sedans/saloon cars) to provide much more space when rear seats aren't needed.
