Not exactly a "major update". Looks like the magic on this iMac is already wearing off and the magicians want their reality distortion spells back.

Fun challenge, but the draggable area for the graphs is small, and it's not obvious where the boundaries are. I kept going past that boundary then realizing I can't set a vertex down.
Move over TikTok – Triller Is Taking Over

Yeah, I don't doubt it. It could very well have been edited to look like that, either for views or sensationalism. Here is the video if you want to see: https://youtu.be/CLo3e1Pak-Y
Perfect, thanks! Looks like an interesting project. I've bemoaned the dominance of Java in the distributed data processing world for a long time, and I didn't know about Thrill.
Oh. It sounds like we're in agreement on this issue.
I just tried this, and wasn't able to reproduce freezing (I blocked both domains on my network's resolver). nslookup replies "Non-existent domain" for both (although the first one didn't exist before I blocked it, but blocked it anyway).

My "Diagnostic Data" is set to "Basic" in the normal Settings UI. I'm on the "2004" release of Windows 10.

Anything I have to do to experience this? What kind of applications/apps are causing the freeze?
Well if they called in 2010 they lost definitely can't do it now with the volume of apps.
Ask HN: Which cloud service for text translation?
I am looking only for translation service. From source Language English to target Language Hindi.

Approximately 7000 blocks of text, each block containing 50 characters. No Unicode points.

Any recommendations for such a service with the ballpark cost? Thanks!
It is overblown, and isn't unheard of in the west. Any Hollywood casting call involves a US corporation judging people according to attractiveness, hiring only the most beautiful, but in the realm of social media this has been deemed unacceptable corporate behavior. The split is a purely cultural phenomena.
> Romans (or whatever) did not treat their slaves as sub-humans

I mean, that's pushing it. Obviously, their concept of slavery wasn't really based on ethnicity, and manumission was generally more common and socially acceptable than it was in American slavery. But the treatment of slaves in Ancient Rome was certainly inhuman by modern standards.

The Romans also had mechanisms to, in practice, suppress the political power of descendants of slaves; in practice almost all freedmen went into one of the urban tribes (the very wealthy could buy into a rural tribe), making their votes largely irrelevant, for instance. It's reasonable to view New World slavery as a special evil, but Roman slavery was Pretty Bad, too.
That’s fantastic.

What we’ve discovered that selling pre-recorded courses isn’t necessarily “passive Income.”

Yes, you don’t have to spend your time actively teaching, but do have to feed the sales funnel and create awareness for your product.

With live courses, while your time is spent more on actively teaching, you’re able to charge nearly 3x as much because you are providing real time support.

In addition, while students initially come for the content, they stick around for the community.

An ISP is an Internet Service Provider. Cloudflare wants people to use their services and boasts that these are "safe" because you're not "directly exposed" to the Internet. In other words, they're proprietary.

The problem with all of this, regardless of whether Cloudflare is good or evil, is that it's a huge tie-in. Once companies are using some or all of Cloudflare's offerings, they're stuck. Should Cloudflare go down, there's nothing anyone can do but wait.

Also, when companies have deployed proprietary, non-standard solutions, moving will be expensive and arduous, and Cloudflare will jack up prices.

They're not becoming an ISP at all. They're becoming a service provider, sure, but of proprietary stuff intended to lock people in to using them and only them.
Part of the reason I find Musk endearing (I know, controversial opinion in these parts) is that he doesn't come across as fake. Every time I hear a different CEO give a speech I think to myself how many speech classes they've taken, how often they rehearsed this, and that a big component of their job is just acting to project a good image. And they're getting paid tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for that.

Musk often just says what comes to mind. He clearly doesn't often rehearse or sometimes even prepare. He comes across as human and relatable. Not just some dude in a suit that has a team of secretaries of lawyers and hasn't had to flush his own toilet in 20 years.
I actually like code signing. I can still run unsigned code by flipping the right setting, but I don’t have to worry about non-developer family members running something bad.
> But most of it is genetic lottery, not hard work.

The luck part isn't primarily about genetics [1], it's about whether you enjoy (or at least don't hate) the routines necessary to be attractive.

For instance: my wife sticks to a strict diet because she doesn't like having to make decisions about food. If you're lucky enough to be wired like her (I'm writing this next to an empty pizza box...), you can hit any goal weight and stay there. Our bathroom is covered in lotions and creams that she spends an hour applying before bed every night. I could not tell you their names, to say nothing of their purposes. She goes to the gym every day except for planned rest days, and does a workout routine that was decided on weeks ahead of time. I maybe go for a jog, if I remember to and I'm feeling up to it.

I've tried copying what she does, and I can't even stick to it for a day. But most women I know do some version of this, and all of the really attractive men do, too.

[1] sure, it is possible to really lose the genetic lottery, but unless you would've been a 19th century circus freak, the bottleneck is probably how hard you're trying, not your genetics
That's a ridiculous statement. The "Would you put your family on a MAX simulator trained aircraft?" quote comes from page 103 of this PDF [1] and is in the context of a technical discussion of the aircraft's design by people who clearly understand the internals.

f doesn't even have either of a right or left limit at 0.

f is maybe (piece-wise) continuous over what pseudo-domain? R or R\{0}?

You could axiomitize that an infinite discontinuity is like an unbouned function as x->infinity, but then how would you avoid 1/x being regular continuous?

I think you are claimokg that a set being incomplete "at the end" is different from a set having a hole in the middle -- that the question of continuity presumes connected sets. That's not standard but might be an appropriate assumption for the context of your paper.

Anyway, arguing over terminology is boring unless it raises conceptual issues. The point is to communicate, which has at least 2 stakeholders. Clarify your terms and move on.
> "it could have something to do with the fact that microsoft has a history of bad behavior and abuse of their market dominance, perhaps?"

Can you provide a plausible scenario for abuse is likely to happen with VSCode? Does VSCode even have any kind of market dominance? As others have pointed out, the open parts of VSCode could probably survive on their own as a community supported project, minus the proprietary plug-ins.
Indeed, this is a terrible point of view. Sending kids back to school before the epidemic is under control just makes it worse for everyone, including the nurses on the front lines. I understand her frustration but it still is stupid.

I wonder how acceptable it would be to swap nurse/pandemic/get sick with soldier/war/get shot, or with fireman/forest fire/get burned. Some professions have different risk profiles than others.

The right thing to do is obviously to reopen the schools, but the virus has to be under control first.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think might depend on what data is being collected here. I believe they'd be fine if it doesn't fall under the "personal data" category.

You might actually be accepting some GDPR processing agreement when setting up Windows nowadays.

And there's a whole thing in GDPR about grandfathering consent. Which they might fall back on.

But like I said, I'm not a lawyer. I'm not qualified enough to know for sure.

Very cool. Increase the drag boundary box immediately.
Just wondered: If the adult content filter is ISP-level, can you deactivate it or like in this case report false positives?

It sound's as orwellian as Apples certificate shenanigans.
It’s clearer in 2D. Rotating by angle `a` tilts the x-axis to (cos(a), sin(a)), because that’s the very definition of cosine and sine (i.e. the x and y components of angles on the unit circle). The y-axis just flips the components and negates one, because that’s what 90° rotations do.

Consoles haven’t been open for 30 years, but I can still run unsigned code on my Mac. They’re not a good argument for us actually sliding down a slippery slope.

And writing drivers for hardware has often been impossible or effectively so due to poor documentation and/or signing. Do you not remember the era when most WiFi cards didn’t work with Linux, or when graphics cards required closed source binary blobs to even work?

I get you don’t like it on principle, so maybe you shouldn’t buy a Mac, but the idea that we’re going down a slippery slope is very much [citation needed]
(Math professor here).

Ambiguous and poorly explained. (Note the question immediately afterwards asking for clarification.) But probably something along the general lines of "My advisor said that, if my main theorem is an asymptotic estimate instead of an exact formula, then this would not be judged to be novel/strong enough to earn a Ph.D."
Definitely!

Currently we prioritize feature requests from paying users, and nobody asked for syntax highlighting yet. When somebody does, I think it'll appear pretty soon.
Nice game, but the moving background somehow makes me quite nauseous.
> most car headlight assembly's absolutely allow for replacing the bulbs inside them.

Yes, because the vast majority of OEM head lamps are still not LEDs.

You must be thinking about HIDs.

OEM LED housings almost universally have no user serviceable access for their LED components, nor do they have standardized "bulbs". You can find plenty of videos of people 'opening' LED headlamps on YouTube [0][1] -- it is a destructive process. The housings are sonically welded with the LED components inside, and the only way in is by cutting them open.

While there are retrofit bulbs for halogen housing (made in the shape of halogen bulbs) for the aftermarket, no OEMs use these for factory LED lighting.

But you don't have to take my word for it:

1. Go look up any vehicle with factory LEDs on the websites of Sylvania, Philips, Hella, etc. You will find that they do not list bulbs for those lamps.

2. Read the owners manual or parts diagram for any vehicle with factory LEDs -- you won't find bulbs in the parts diagrams, and the owners manuals will explain that the housing must be replaced.

That does not actually solve the problem.

Yes, maybe I find it a little easier to trust Microsoft than Bytedance. But the problem is not who holds the data that I generate about myself.

The problem is that I have zero (or very little) agency to view or manage this data. That lack of agency is important because this data will have a tangible impact on my life.
What? There are no alternatives because people don't adopt the alternatives. If a mere 10% of the Microsoft user base moved to Linux you'd see lots of changes from comercial software vendors.

But I suppose it's easier to pirate Windows and cry in online forums.
Inherently it’s up to the teacher to make the class interactive. We as humans don’t learn by passively consuming content as studies have shown over and over.
I actually suggest finding a book about a topic that actually makes use of linear algebra , since the intro chapters will actually explain the core concepts in a way that is actually useful.

For me, linear algebra didn't click until I read "Numerical Linear Algebra" by Trefethen & Bau. The first 4-5 sections have great explanations of matrix vector operations.

Other than that, the most popular linear algebra book that actually gets things right is "linear algebra done right" by Sheldon Axler.

Edit: ah, forgive me, didn't notice you said "first time". In that case the Axler book is a safe bet, just be diligent doing the exercises.
Nobody tell them about hyperspeed (click and hold on the background) ;)
Solid spec bump. Interesting how much emphasis they put on the camera, speakers, and mic; makes total sense in the age of Zoom.

I’d also speculate this means iMac won’t be the first computer getting Apple Silicon. I wonder if it will be the last?

What’s the consensus guess now? Perhaps a new MacBook Air with good performance but the real “breakthrough” is > 12 hours battery life?
This seems relevant.

Firefox does not use WebKit (and at this point neither does anyone else), but they can look at patches to WebKit to understand how Apple improved Safari's performance. Because Apple produces the hardware, the OS, and the browser, the choices they make in the WebKit implementation are highly informative.

> it shows how being FOSS isn't enough

This is true for every app on iOS: even if you have the source code, you can't necessarily run a modified version, and so you're missing one of the main user freedoms that FOSS should guarantee. I wish Apple would rethink this, but Safari is still usefully open source.

Google and Apple could arbitrarily agree to remove the app from their stores.

Same setup here. Best of both worlds IMO. Only drawback is to use the GPU on the linux host for e.g. Blender, I need to reboot (GPU can't rebind to PCIe root otherwise or something... thanks Nvidia)
I always come back to the cinema image of the rich guy casually tossing the keys of his supercar to the valet. The reason it's "cool" is the effortless balance. He has fun with the car, but he is no petrol-head. To you & I it's an unobtainable thing, to him it's just another car.

That's how I've come to understand it. These wealthy types are not horophiles or sommeliers. They just casually appreciate beautiful craftsmanship & the taste of high quality alcohol- and who doesn't? Just look at how techies love machined metal laptop bodies, and the popularity of craft beer. The reason out-groups are quickly identified is because they cargo-cult the material things.
I don’t see any evidence for that?
Considering the efforts they made to classify it, that's not surprising. Remote, possibly jungle, not particularly hospitable in any event, doesn't help people to document it.

Resume: http://adnansiddiqi.me/Resume2020.pdf

Email: kadnan @ gmail

I have worked under different software development related roles: Web Development, Mobile, and Automation ETL/Tools but my current strength is writing ETL and Data pipelines in Python.

- I am especially looking for Spark related roles as I am a bit new it and willing to pursue my career further in it so even Intern kinds of role will work as I am willing to gain the real-world experience.

- I am also looking jobs in sector where I could do meaningful work like Healthcare, Agritech and EduTech.

Both above are not interrelated as such.

Patterns of Distributed Systems
It's right here in the App Store guidelines:

5.2.3 Audio/Video Downloading: Apps should not facilitate illegal file sharing or include the ability to save, convert, or download media from third-party sources (e.g. Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, etc.) without explicit authorization from those sources. Streaming of audio/video content may also violate Terms of Use, so be sure to check before your app accesses those services. Documentation must be provided upon request.

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#int...

As to the why, because Apple could be sued by third parties for allowing this behavior for apps that Apple has vetted.
It seems like 1Password CLI, and 1Password X are not the only options for us Linux users anymore, as AgileBits is releasing an official GUI client.

No Electron crap either, seems to be native, written in Rust, and with full desktop integration, including GTK dark mode, X11 clipboard sharing, biometric unlock, and whatnot.

While I use, and prefer the CLI version — even wrote my own wrapper[1] for it —, having a GUI version is sure to make a lot of people happy, my wife included.

> They might not use it maliciously today, but they could create a pretty good clone given the details of your life they have collected and continue to collect.

I want to ask the inverse of this question. What can Google do to make you comfortable with their services while still being primarily an advertising company?

Some ideas I can think of:

1. Delete your data once it is no longer relevant for advertising (I think they already offer an option to delete data after some time)

2. Not sell any data to third party, and make strong claims about this that can be legally challenged.

3. Keep data encrypted so that data breaches or even malicious actors within the company can not access the data.

4. Anonymize user data so that a business who acquired a customer won’t know why a {name, shipping address, product, price, credit card, email} was targeted for this advertisement and was successfully converted to a sale through that advertisement.

5. Not offer suggestions/data/feedback to advertisers on how to exploit vulnerable target audiences (Example: help Casinos target gambling addicts 5% more efficiently by doing X,Y,Z changes)

6. Build a track record of legal challenges and pushback against governments to show that when they claim that data is deleted, it really is deleted.

I am not sure how many of these Google already has done - but if they are doing any/all of this, they aren’t being loud enough about it. If one has to read through 200 pages of terms and conditions to determine what they do, people will just assume the worst and be paranoid.
Spotify too.

I'll never forget putting one song into Spotify and having it recap my late 90's listening habits over the course of an evening.
Microsoft isn't an EU company.

I'm sure the EU is perfectly free to block use of Windows if this is a GDPR violation, given that blocking use of Windows is the only way to ensure the GDPR violations are not continuing, as this is closed-source software.
¿por que no los dos?

Why not both?

Also please do keep in mind that the lockdown of both Android and iOS has been gradually increasing. If they slapped on all the restrictions all at once, it'd be too much of a shock to developers.

So, as a busines risk, for a commercial startup, this is pretty negligable, right?

Even if they widen the scope, EU commercial laws on this kind of thing (e.g. content filters) tend to be only applied to companies over a certain revenue level (10m euros for the content filters).

Also, EU regulation is enforced differently to US regulation. EU regulators tend to ask nicely the first time, and only impose fines if it's a repeat offence, or the company has flat-out refused to do anything about the problem.

In other words, even if the regulation scope is widened, anyone building their GUI with Godot will probably have enough revenue and be given enough time to rebuild it completely before they'll reach the point of "business-killing" fines.

<of course, being accessible is a good thing in its own right, and I'm glad Godot appear to be doing something about it>
