I think you are missing the bigger picture here.

Facebook, Google, Twitter all get heat from a very small portion of the population for not moderating their platform enough that is true. What is also true is that as far as I know we have no proof that these accusations have any impact on their bottom line.

Facebook is the big bad social network that was caught playing with its users' feed to see how it would impact their mood. That is straight evil yet I would be willing to bet it never had any significant impact on their ad revenues.

My aunt won't stop being on Facebook because of some controversy, the same way that my younger siblings don't care if you can see some alt-right content in a dark corner of TikTok.
Anybody know why most of the comments almost never post any salary information for that job listing? I feel like this should be a requirement rather than having to play this useless negotiation game.
I agree with this, and know people who have an unhealthy ambition for "doing productive things" with no time set aside for compensatory energy recovery through relaxation. I see these people fall into de-facto relaxation through exhaustion. They end up relaxing, but will feel guilt during it. This kind of audience would not benefit from productivity advice, as they are already operating on an extreme level.

On the other end of the scale are people like myself, who have a real problem motivating themselves to do tasks which really do objectively need to get done (e.g. mowing the lawn, cleaning the bathroom). Why do they need to get done? Because if they don't they would have a net negative effect on your quality of life / even basic hygiene. It's people closer on this end of the spectrum that I think benefit from advice like this.

Certainly there is no absolute law that says you "have to" do anything. That's freedom of choice which we all ultimately have. In practical terms though, unless you are willing to accept an extremely low standard of living, certain basics do need to get done. People with depression will probably be able to understand where I'm coming from with this :)

Depends on whether you are looking for effectiveness vs efficiency. YOLO et al. are optimised for general feature extraction. They are ridiculously good if you need to build something quickly. If you are looking for the most efficient way e.g. lowest processing power per image then use a network that is optimised for the particular feature you are trying to extract.

You are simply wrong according to data.

Looking for opportunities to work full-time on public-release games. Longtime hobbyist and 2 years experience with educational/B2B gamedev. Used to do web development before.
Lumen5 | Intermediate/Senior Engineers and Software Development Manager | Vancouver, BC | Fulltime, Onsite | https://lumen5.com

We're a startup (35 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to automate the creative process of producing video content. We've found that what we're building is very attractive to marketing and communications teams from lots of different organizations and we've got tons of interesting search, NLP, artificial intelligence, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. Right now, we're hiring:

Engineering Manager: Our team has grown and we need a engineering coach, people manager, and business value deliverer. https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4105157003

Frontend Engineer: Contribute to our large, beautiful single-page app, using React, Redux, ImmutableJS, and more! https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4040744003

Javascript Engineer: We're building a powerful javascript library that handles all of our video rendering (in webgl), and we need the testing, toolkit, architecture and data structures expertise to continue to make it awesome. Similar tools to game development.https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4109385003

Product Manager: Work with designers, engineers and marketers to make video creation accessible to everyone. https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4110554003

Senior Fullstack Developer: Mentor developers, collaborate on key technical decisions, become a go-to developer and contribute core pieces of code. https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4124937003
At this point, I don't care about the effectiveness. It is a sign of respect for those of us who have lost family and friends as a result of this global pandemic with what will amount to millions dead over the next 1-2 years. It is a very visible sign that shows that you care about yourself and the people around you.
We all wish build it and they'll come worked - but we've all gotta market somehow. I agree you gotta market some way, but referrals from successful customers will always be a super good place to start! (of course, assuming you can actually get those first customers)

QA/testing. It's not particularly enjoyable at all (especially not the whole 'test in various browsers on various operating systems part), but if it isn't done... well things have the potential to go very, very wrong indeed.
HN doesn't use Markdown unfortunately.

I really, really hate that so many platforms use proprietary markup languages. I think the Google products have several slightly different ones, HN uses something completely proprietary (https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc), and even markdown has variants that can be pretty annoying to deal with.
It’s only late constitutionally. This will go to the Supreme Court.
I generally agree, and I personally don't wear a mask outside when I walk in my neighborhood for this exact reason (very low density, plenty of space).

With that said, it appears that if there is any gray area in the rules then the general population is almost sure to abuse them. In this case, I think it's better to err on the side of caution and make it 100% mandatory so there is absolutely no gray area.
> I wouldn't bet against MS regarding backward compatibility. I'm sure that everything running on x86 runs or will soon run on ARM.

Oddly, Microsoft has 32 bit x86 apps running on ARM, but 64 bit x86 apps are broken. More or less exactly the opposite of Apple in terms of legacy software. This means there are some pretty notable holes in the Windows ARM Pro software scene -> Adobe being the biggest, most obvious.

The message from Apple is "Everything that runs on Catalina runs on the new Macs", but software which has been ported will run best. The messaging from Microsoft is much more nuanced.

> The bigger problem for Windows-on-ARM is that non-Apple desktop-class ARM processors are right now rather weak, and that affects all applications, even ported apps.

This is why Apple can afford to go all-in on ARM while Microsoft has to tap-dance back and forth between the two platforms.

> Further it's possible to opt out of seat belts by not driving and you can kind of opt out of government IDs also by not driving or flying. It'd be difficult but if you really, really cared you could.

Not driving (or being the passenger in a car) is all but impossible in the vast majority of the US. In fact, it’s almost equal to saying “just don’t go to any public places” in response to your gun requirement hypothetical.
Stylus and physical keyboard.
People are avoiding "incredible" for its dictionary meaning nowadays because it has morphed into a generic intensifier.

In a few years that will pass, and people will not say extremely silly things like "incredibly honest" anymore. But they will necessarily take up saying other equally silly things.
It does; the stack pointer starts out aligned, but then the function does a call, and the call instruction adjusts the stack pointer by 8 bytes to push the return address, which would cause it to be misaligned. The push pushes an extra 8 bytes so that the stack pointer is aligned in the callee.

3 years of professional experience as a full-stack developer, working mostly with research and development during this time, which means my development time from idea to MVP has been very short. I'm open to work on anything that sounds interesting, and moving is not a problem! Before this I worked as a freelancer with lots of interesting small local companies for several years.

I'm fluent in English, almost more so than Norwegian, so language barrier is a non-issue here.

Please reach out if you find me interesting!
I agree in principle, and I look forward to the day when all my requirements can be met without self-hosting or trusting another party with metadata. After all, most people don't have the means to self-host. Multiple projects (including Matrix) are working in that direction, but I'm not holding my breath; metadata exists at multiple layers, and is a hard problem to solve.

Until that day, a public host with the right incentives and track record remains valuable, even if only to include people who don't have tech-savvy friends to host for them.

Regardless of all that, given the choice between rewarding an organization with good behavior vs. one with bad behavior, I choose the former.
Thank you very much for those references.

Huh, looks like Google used to offer a cellular-based backup option, but cut it off a few months ago. Some folks were upset that the only way to get that now is to pay Brinks ($29/mo or $20/mo with 3-yr contract).

I assume the Brinks deal will be phased out and ADT will replace it? Given what people are saying about ADT's pricing, hopefully their offer will be no more expensive than Brinks'.

Architects can use Blender. It has better BIM support than all the commercial offerings, better rendering, is free, stable, cross-platform, etc. Not brilliant on drawing output, but that is under active development and is already OK. You can also export to FreeCAD and then do drawings from there.
Highest accuracy. I was mainly wondering which model ML engineers reach for circa 2020 for classification tasks. Searching for classifiers brings up article after article presenting toy classifiers, but very little with a production focus.
It’s different.

A lot of the bullshit you’d be aware of due to being able to see people is renewed because everyone hasn’t figured out how people operate.

The main reasons I like a headphone jack are:

1) My car stereo doesn't have Bluetooth.

2) Very few earbuds fit my ears comfortably. After a lot of experimenting I've found a couple wired models that do fit my ears fine. Given the cost and limited selection of wireless earbuds, finding a good pair will be a chore, if I even can.

3) Once in a while having two ports is handy.

There are probably dongle solutions to 1 and 3, and maybe I can find some that fit my ears well. But that all sounds like way more hassle than just not buying phones that have been designed to exclude some pretty basic functionality.
1) it doesn’t matter what other countries without our constitutional protections do.

Painkillers are a massive plaster over complex inflammatory issues modern medicine can't yet properly diagnose and treat. (affordable) Doctors don't have the time to do a deep investigation into root causes. As a result you get an outgrowth of snake oil salesmen and quacks along with legitimately well intentioned holistic healers building the alternative medicine industry. Most people with chronic conditions end up bouncing around in the second space until they get lucky or never find anything and suffer on painkillers for years before they die young. We really could do better.

"I think it's important to distinguish mass surveillance from targeted surveillance. They present very different threat models."

Targeted attacks against centralized points that enable wide-scale surveillance are mass surveillance. Imagine NSA would claim "A fiber optic splitter in the bottom of the ocean is a targeted attack against one device (repeater), or one inch segment of glass wire, it's not mass surveillance".

It's vital that we define targeted surveillance as something where the target is a single entity. Hacking Moxie's phone is targeted surveillance. Hacking Signal server is not. Hacking every visitor of a CP site is mass surveillance https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/playpen-story-fbis-unp...

I’m a bit of a misshapen unicorn, I’ve got an Interaction Design education with a background in back-end software development and building embedded systems.

I'm currently furloughed due to the pandemic, but under normal circumstances I’ve managed to shape this background into working with Experiential Teams on physical builds, digital products, web experiences, and server-side applications. I also assist in the management of these experiences: scoping and planning for, as well as being responsible for building, installing, and supporting these interactive installations, conference activations, retail experiences, and any other interactive elements that need to be built.
One of the problems with "masks should be required" is that it lacks nuance. Around where I live--exurbs of a major NE US city--they're required and pretty much universally used in stores as far as I can see. However, outside, it's very mixed and personally it seems pretty reasonable. But I'm sure to some people it seems as if people aren't being reasonable.

Certainly I'm not wearing by myself in the woods. But perhaps that's seen poor practice by some. No idea what things look like in the city. Perhaps I'd find it uncomfortable.
I did an Ask HN [1] about this topic a little while ago.

Most relevant comment [2], from gunibert is here:

The problem in a framework like GoDot is, that it is meant for Games. A game renders screens in 30/60 fps. A Desktop application like a Gtk application does exactly nothing if you dont interact with the application. If you click a button only the button gets re-rendered. This is more efficient then using something like a game engine which has no concept about damaged regions and so on.

Also, people like to have something like "native" look and feel. This would be possible with Java-SWT as it abstracts away the toolkit. This is possible but in the case of SWT it is just broken (think about margins, text, scroll behaviour).

The other option is to use electron as it is just plain simple, works even in the web (you can basically make a webapp and repackage that as an electron app)

Or you package a toolkit with your application and avoid native libraries. This happens in the world of Qt for example. Gtk is cross-platform too but not statically linkable.

skeema is similar -- if I understand it correctly, it keeps 'truth' as a SQL file and diffs it against a live mysql DB

automig diffs the SQL files directly without looking at a live DB

pros & cons to both approaches
The central thesis, that the truth must be paid for is fundamentally wrong. Even if many experts may require payment it is no guarantee that what is paid for is true.

Furthermore payment isn't always needed to publish the truth. There are agendas which aren't neccessarily a bad thing or untrue. An honest victim of a crime or travesty would have an agenda!

Anyone claiming to be a victim may or may not be telling the truth but they would not need any payment to want to have their story told!

That isn't to say that unpaid could be a complete replacement but every issue cited for free could also occur in paywalled ones including nobody wanting to pay for an expert.
Measuring the risk of travel in terms of hours seems largely pointless, unless I'm missing something. It equates an hour bus ride with an hour plane ride, which are not interchangeable, so it makes sense that the associated risks are also not interchangeable.

You could account for the additional time it takes to go on a bus to adjust for the longer duration of risk, but at that point it seems like you're just approximating for risk per km.
Mine tax situation is very shifty. Though my w2 job increasing to more than 50% of my income should settle things out a bunch, I’ve always had multiple 1099s and the k1 is quite different every year.
Yeah well, but that's because of the env. you chose to use, that qt5-base etc. I mentioned? it includes header files. Add your compiler of choice and you're good to go. I've no idea what "SDK" are you talking about, but honestly, I'm pretty sure that includes tons of documentation, images, multimedia, etc.
It can't mutate `c` because it doesn't know what `c` is. There might not even be a value to mutate; `c` could be Void, or a phantom type parameter. But given a definition for `M c` like:

data M c = M (A -> c)

there would only be one reasonable implementation:

a -*/ (M f) = f a

If `M c` does not contain a function from `A` to `c` then the only possible result is non-termination. You weren't given a value of type `c`, and you have no way of producing one from the inputs, so you can't return such a value, and the only alternative is not returning at all.

Of course the real problem here is that (at least without context) this operator name doesn't mean much. You could make the same complaint about a perfectly ordinary function named `ixfni`. The only real difference in Haskell is that symbolic operators is written infix by default, while named functions are written prefix, but it's very easy to flip that around:

(-*/) a b
a `ixfni` b

Note that you can even define fixity and precedence for named functions in their infix forms. Unlike most other languages with user-defined operators there is remarkably little pressure to rely on symbols in situations where they would be unclear. Symbolic operators should only be defined in situations where the symbols are reasonably well-known (within some context) or "intuitively" related to existing operators.
