I hope Agilebits considers adding local vault support. I’m a long time user and even a subscriber, but I don’t actually use the account I pay for, for anything except license to use the software - I still use local vaults.

I’m happy with this arrangement - it’d be a shame if the Linux client never gets this functionality.
Yep, the whole time they were focused on cassette tapes and Napster, the music industry completely missed the iPod/iTunes threat.
Okay looks like there is some justification for that assumption given by G.I. Taylor.

By the way with your data it looks like you get a better fit if you assume your first image is not at 50ms but rather 38 ms. A line fit between t and r^(5.2) gives a slope of 1.6 10^13. This gives 4 kt if you use the lower estimate of 1 kg/m^3 for the density of air.

I do worry you may have overestimated the distance slightly, as these numbers are frankly ridiculous, and with a power of 5 even small errors grow quickly.

It doesn't. It creates statistics on how you type and what words you use in order to predict your input in order to help you in the future by predicting words you'll use before you type them.

It also doesn't do this for password/passphrase fields.

You can also turn it off, and you're prompted to do so upon OS installation, and the option is always there in the settings application, and you can even tell Microsoft to delete any telemetry it has for you, if you want, and they'll delete it.

Those are the facts. But, it's common to ignore those and just shout "keylogger" in online forums. It is also, somehow, a sign of weakness if you look for updated or changed information which may change your opinions, because no one ever seems to do this. Like, ever.

How to Fix Child Poverty
I didn’t read the whole study but it certainly seemed flawed to me.

- dyslexia is a condition, not a disease. The underlying problem is not well understood and there are probably multiple causes. The study groups all children together as if they are identical.

- the font is successful if any child benefits from it, not if a majority or average benefit. This kind of flaw seems prevalent in many studies. If it makes reading faster for some children then it’s a benefit. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work for everyone.

- it doesn’t look like these tests were reading-out-loud tests, which is specifically where we have seen the most improvement. In my experience OpenDyslexic improved reading out loud which lead to improved silent reading and significantly improved comprehension over a period of weeks. The important thing here is that dyslexic children use coping mechanisms such as skimming to give the appearance of being able to read like their peers (at least this was this case for us).

Given my own personal experience in which OpenDyslexic (not Dyslexie) has been life changing for my family, the study appears to be bullshit. While I haven’t examined the study in detail, it is not clear that the findings justify the very strong claims that it makes.
London traders hit $500M jackpot when oil went negative
Having experienced similar "ah thank god C++ allows me to do [ridiculous template magic]" moments, 99% of the time it is because the language is forcing you (or leading you) into some kind of design that would have never been necessary in a different language. I have seen many hours/days wasted on using esoteric C++ features in order to get around a language limitation/quirk.

So I am going out on a limb here and assuming that your needing to know whether or not a member exists in a class at compile time is simply something you would never need in a different language because the language would allow you to design for something simpler that satisfies the same requirements. As someone who writes both C++ and C# daily, I often end up comparing the two and most of the time I end up thinking "it's cool that you can do that in C++ but this would have been half the lines and cleaner code in C#".
This isn't true. Go/Python/non-C++ can get you dozens of jobs with very high total comp, well over anything for C++. A Senior Software Engineer at any FANG will get you over 400k/yr TC. Getting an equivalent job with C++ would be much harder.
> A buddy of mine did a few 'brown bag' sessions on advanced C++ templating (...) Who has the energy for this? It's hard to write, it's hard to read, it's hard to debug.

C++ programmers who dedicate themselves to template metaprogramming are like stunt performers. You see them get on their shiny bikes and flashy costumes, you clinch your fists in a mix of fear and awe when they showcase their skills, but in the end it might be entertaining but it has virtually no real practical use beyond extremely niche applications.
I remember a clear improvement in the legibility of things like onscreen scoreboards in sports broadcasts. In the NTSC era I would squint at the TV trying to figure out if the score was 16 or 18 for a football game, and for a basketball game you just had to keep track of it in your head since the scoreboard wasn’t even persisted onscreen. Other things, like telling different players apart, are also easier these days (you can even make out their facial features in a wide shot!)

Hastie and Tibshirani teach a free course based on this book on Stanford's OpenEdX (https://online.stanford.edu/courses/sohs-ystatslearning-stat...). I highly recommend taking this course or reading the book before delving into ESL. IMO, ESL is excellent as a reference, but trying to learn by reading it linearly is not an optimal time investment.

Now if only a similar course existed for Wasserman's "All of Statistics..."

Whoa! Great work!
I agree with you, but for me it’s a risk and liability thing. It’s also a function of what I have had the experience doing...I can actually hang/tape/mud drywall semi decently, DEFINITELY not as fast or as good as a pro. Same with tiling, flooring etc , most cosmetic things. But I’ve never had the opportunity to learn much about plumbing or electrical. And those could have huge consequences if not done properly.
Combination of several rendering techniques.

The idea is as long as you have all the information the user wants in in each layer. Then you can do a lot of things with this understanding.

The major pieces of information you need to collect while working on a 2D plane are these.

- The x,y coords
- The width and height
- A path to the asset
- additional properties like colors and opacity

From having this critical information stored nicely means you can email it to a graphic designer and have them decode it and follow the "map".

You can send it to a client side process and have it interpret the information.

You can send it to a server and have it interpret the information.

You can do a one shot kill and build a system that pieces them together using one approach.

You can send each layer to a different process. You can create a specialized technique for each layer type.

The key is collecting the information. The actual rendering can be done in many ways. FFMPEG, canvas, screen shots, send it to a human lol. Using OS commands, etc.

As a current student Compsci student who's done an (introductory) web dev class, may I say I have not been taught this way _at all_. In fact this notion of offloading stuff to the client never came up at all in the class. That's just my experience.

I think these ferocious views must be coming from the individual - but I do realise not all courses are the same and this student may have actually been (wrongly) taught this way.

We want to create a new app that imports AWS SQS events into an AWS Aurora Postgres instance using AWS Serverless Lambda (Typescript).

There are 2 pieces to this work. The 1st piece is adding tracking events to our existing node.js Typescript backend.

* Create a TrackingEvent class
* Set up the server to create TrackingEvent objects when the appropriate action has happened
* Serialize the TrackingEvent object and send to SQS

The 2nd piece is creating a new AWS Serverless (Typescript) app that loads the events.

* Read a chunk of events from an SQS queue
* Write them to a file in S3
* Import the file into our AWS Aurora Postgres data warehouse instance
* Copy or move the file into a permanent S3 location for backup

If you can build this and want to start immediately, shoot me an email and we can discuss it!

This is so cool! Some specific thoughts

- My finger slipped and it wheecht me out of the editor before I'd finished editing the video - maybe it could prompt me to confirm if I want to leave the editor/save my work if I've made changes?

- Is it possible to disable the browser right click/context menu on the timeline? I expected to get some additional options but got the browser context menu instead

So cool! Well done
And the reason the word "crux" means a "decisive point" is because of the Romans' use of the cross as a means of torturing and killing people. The fact that you're fine with it is OK--it's a free Country--but it tells me a lot about what kind of a person you are.

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=crux

> Century Dictionary ascribes it to "the cross as an instrument of torture; hence anything that puzzles or vexes in a high degree ...." Extended sense of "central point" is attested by 1888.

So I guess you'd be find with calling your product "noose" or "lynching". Good luck with that.
Why would you want to replace something like Vue with jQuery?

Just because jQuery isn't "brand, new frontend framework" doesn't mean it is good or something

From my experience jQuery leads to difficult to maintain codebases relatively fast in compare to e.g Vue.

That's the beauty of GPL. Linus doesn't get to decide whether or not people can add stuff to a Linux fork. And thus, Linus is not encumbered with being a moral gatekeeper. North Korea can add a driver to their own linux kernel that makes it easier to control torture devices if they want and Linus can reject that same driver from being merged to the upstream master copy if he wants.

Software that is morally gatekept by its creator is not free (as in freedom) software. I value freedom more than I value "preventing harm" or whatever you're worried about. The whole world is trending toward less freedom (of speech, etc.) in the name of "preventing harm" which I think is a big mistake.
You can outsource it to something like authy, which is still sms based, but gets disabled if you install their app. They also claim that they can detect number porting attacks, so that might be marginally better.

>Maybe some pseudonymous proof using cryptographic functions of modern passports could be used somehow without revealing real identity to the passport issuer too?

You can still lose your passport. It's less likely than losing your phone, but still. Also, to access the cryptographic functions of a passport, you probably need a NFC reader, which isn't exactly accessible.
Those are almost all tax deductions or are required by law.

Yep, exactly this. It was only 8 years ago, but its several generations of changes for C++. As you said, it was very unfortunate timing, but not much I can do except pick up a book and start learning. But I'd probably dedicate that energy to delving deeper into Python, Go or even Java at this point. Sad to see decades of work no longer relevant, but it got me to where I am today, so it was worth something I suppose.

This is per month.

I am still experimenting with the pricing and do have paying customers.

I find the average user needs anywhere between 5 videos a month to 10. These are serious users who are consistent with their posting and are making a return.

Those who are learning and new to the content game can get a few videos rendered per month to see if it's for them.

Agencies are a different persona though and they would most likely need more than 10.
Steve Troughton-Smith is wish casting really hard there.

Minor nit: hitting backspace to delete a clip (pretty common in editing apps) forces the browser to go back.

You might also want to catch other types 'leave page' events and ask for confirmation so that the user doesn't lose their work accidentally.
Vanilla JS is pretty cool. Eleventy is even cooler, it gets you most of the things a framework gets you, but gets compiled to fast, vanilla JS and that's what served to the browser.

Svelte/Sapper also has a lot of potential as it only ships the parts if the framework that are absolutely needed instead of the whole thing.

But in reality, you can make plenty of very fast React sites and plenty of slow vanilla JS sites.
Hell yes. You're a smart man.

It’s not hard at all. While they make (some) good games, they’re hardly the only videogame creators out there. Even should you discount the thousands of indie creators (and you really shouldn’t), there’s several dozen AAA creators that you can still pick games from.

If you can avoid the COD and “Blizzard games are always the best” hype trains, there’s a lot out there to play, and a lot of games which respect your pocketbook.

Boycotts work. I enjoy playing competitive FPS shooters occasionally, and I’ve personally been able to stay away from COD since the private server debacle with no issues. To claim that their games are so good no boycott will ever work (so why bother) is conceding defeat before you’ve even tried.

Ask HN: Convenient ways to add a signal processing layer to a C++ program?
We have an application written in C++ / Qt that processes data stream and displays the processed and decoded data to the user. The concept is basically:

Signal -> Filter(s) -> Decoder -> Display

So far all of the filtering can be represented by a typical IIR filter structure. This is relatively convenient as we simply treat the data as a stream, one sample goes in, one comes out. We can string an arbitrary number of filters together.

Recently we've started implementing more complex filters, these are prototyped in Python using Jupyter Notebooks (Numpy, SciPy, the usual suspects). Writing C callable Python or Python callable C is relatively easy, my main concerns are

1. Speed of execution
2. Difficulty in deployment (fresh installs / updates)

The options we've been able to think of so far are:

1. Deploy the filters written in Python and maintain the Python environment
2. Translate Python into native C++
3. Translate Python to Matlab and use it to generate C++
4. Translate Python to Cython then compile to a DLL called by the main program

None of the options are particularly inviting. Has anyone been able to solve a similar problem?

Can’t stop laughing over the fact that something interesting like this would’ve reached HN’s top if not for the fact that the article shows HN’s selective narrow-mindedness and toxic positivity (disgustingly enough, bordering on the lack of critical thinking).
It doesn't capture the variables "if they ever happen to be instantiated." They get captured once; the lambda gets instantiated. It's the operator() method that is templated, not the lambda object's type itself. Basically a template lambda might be equivalent to this:

struct foo {
std::string capture;
template <class T>
std::string operator()(T x) {
return capture + std::to_string(x);
}
};
As long as it's all disclosed, then it's probably fine. It's not only on the buyer to figure it out -- the buyer doesn't need to tear off the drywall to see if the house was taped together with duct tape instead of using nails. (but he might end up doing that if he has reason to doubt the construction quality). If the seller built the house himself without any professional guidance or inspection, he needs to disclose it.

I don't know about unincorporated areas, but around here if you put power and water in a shed, it's no longer just a shed and you need permits. And I think that if it's meant for human habitation even without power or water, you need the permits (though you may not get the permit without lighting and water/sewer)

For many/most types of software I am in the same camp of people who would prefer to pay more upfront for a license as long as the software continues working as is - I bought it because it worked and if I chose to pay more in the future for a better version, I will make that decision based on the new features added and not the old features being held hostage.

However, for something as high-value as a password manager, I think having a subscription model makes a lot of sense. I can't think of any other class of product where timely updates from the developers are so critical to the utility of the product. You could even argue that an unpatched, out of date password manager is worse than no password manager.
