The Aviator - I don't know why I was so obsessed with this guy eg. Howard Hughes his tragic/surreal life having so much money and descent into madness. The passage of time makes me sad as well, you see the peak/height of the day...

The Master - this is emotional the churning water scenes in particular with the music great sound track

Her - mostly I enjoy the intro, I don't know maybe it's a part of being alone a lot up to where he meets the OS for the first time, something like this is interesting

Lost in Translation - somehow I found this movie and the social aspect is nice

Iron Man movies - for motivation

Blade Runner - I was obsessed with this movie in high school 10 years ago quoting it ha "I've seen things..."

2001 Space Odyssey - probably my most favorite humbling scene the bone becoming a space craft [1] it's just so emotional "exiting the system". It felt freeing briefly to think you can leave everything that exists and go to nothing, it was an idea of escape for me at the time. It makes me want to strive for that, but it's not a 1-man job and it takes a while eg. probably not in our life time... the whole 4 years to nearest star at light speed thing. And what is there anyway.

Jobs - probably get hate for this but there was something profound the idea of the chips becoming state/data on a screen.

Social Network - sorry to be basic but I used to watch that to get pumped trying to come up with something big(lol). It's funny when I first watched that movie I was not into software/web dev and later on I understood more and more of the basic stuff he was doing to make the girl comparison app and also mentioning Apache to host the initial The Facebook like "Ooh I know what that is".

Absolutely agree that the convenience doesn’t make up for the downsides.

I do think that some cases can be covered without putting data out in the wild with some third party. Siri and similar apps don’t do well with complex commands, but just fine with simple things (light switch, calendar entry, alarm) that an offline tool might also understand. Same goes for fitness trackers, note taking apps, etc.

We as consumers should choose such alternatives. As developers and entrepreneurs we should try to enable these solutions, so we don’t have to rely on apps that might monetize differently than advertised or turn off when some company decides it’s not profitable enough.

There’s also work being done on decentralizing analysis and monetizing your own data, but I’m not sure it’s ready yet.
Any of those things would be such massive trust violations that the fallout would almost certainly sink the product and badly tarnish the company. That's not saying a company wouldn't be stupid enough to try it, but it's very clearly a bad business decision - so logically they wouldn't do it.
Interesting, I thought it uses the Spotlight index to get this information and that the index already contains these aggregates, but you're probably right considering that it works even in folders that I've explicitly excluded (I wonder how many millions of node_modules folders are indexed for no reason).
Apart from IAM complexity, I found it interesting that the author puts the cost of this breach at 80M. Yes, that's the cost of the fine, but the true cost including reputation, etc are definitely way higher than that.

80M to a company like Cap One with almost 30B in revenue is an easy write off. The other costs can be really hard to recover from.
Given the deaths in my peer group of known, tested, infected people, the higher number I cited makes more sense.

We shall see as more outcomes continue to be known.

We will get better at tracking that because this virus is more likely to be endemic, forced.

Having some healthy respect for this mess, rooted in basic fear and concern for the future, is just not a bad thing.

As we get better at the data related to chronic complications, that info will also give people a more solid reason to live and work differently. Fact is a whole lot more people than we think will suffer a reduction in overall health too.

Also not a bad thing.

Frankly, I believe the outcome based death rates will fall over time as we improve our will and ability to record outcomes. I do not believe it will end up being fractions of a percent.

I also believe complications, organ damage, etc... will be respectable percentages as we improve on capturing that data.

We are finding immunity does not endure. We are also finding repeat cases can vary widely in severity.

Add in the growing reality of it being endemic, and there is a solid basis for real concern.

Ideally, we all remain able to revisit all this after a full year cycle.

I’m so jealous.

We have Stack Enterprise, which is permanent and searchable but admits only straightforward Q&A, no discussion.

We have Google Groups, but many employees expect them to be for announcements only, and will reply angrily to threads that are attracting long discussions. They don’t “get” mailing list culture, don’t configure their GMail filters appropriately, and feel that this is the sender’s problem.

Async decision making, such as it is, happens in Google Docs comment threads on proposals. Our auditors actually require us to click the resolve button on those threads once the proposal is accepted, so the discussion is hard to find if you come across the document later.
Ah yes, forgot about uring. Apparently readdir was "next on the list" at the end of last year: https://twitter.com/mathjock/status/1205996402930855937 But I don't see it in the tree. I'm guessing sockets got more priority.
>What about the photos of people happily seating in groups in restaurants and even attending sports events?

they obviously don't distance (by definition), but economic indicators suggest that Swede's do behave similar to countries that went into formal lockdowns. GDP in the second quarter was down 8.5%, which is not far off from the 10% in Germany or the US.

It is absolutely the case that I have chosen to not offer a comment for fear of protecting my precious internet points.

I'm not sure that this the way a healthy discussion should work. I feel that people with opposing views should be allowed to conduct civil debate without either side being vote-bombed for wrong-think.

It seems really odd that one could lose privileges to participate in this forum for having posted a civil yet unpopular (with some faction) comment. Particularly when the same comment offered as a new post would (could?) not result in the same punishment. Unless of course posts can also be downvoted and I just lack the rep to see that option.
I disagree with the authors conclusions. All Chinese companies are owned by the Chinese government. China is a horrible regime that murders it's own people, not to mention half the nation is starving while the Politburo lives in fancy houses chauffeured in fancy cars. It is not a great leap to conclude that a nation like that which owns a very popular social media app would not attempt to use it for subversive means.

Depends on what you like:
- "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" is considered as one of the best anime out there (SteamPunk/Adventure)

- Attack On Titan good and well known

Tell me what genres you like and i'll make you more recommendations.
What happened? What does mouse keys do?
A recent, fairly famous anime movie that I would recommend is Kimi No Nawa/Your Name. Very emotional, and just a great movie all around. I would also recommend any Studio Ghibli movie, particularly Spirited Away. If you want to watch some great artistic style anime series, watch any of Shinichiro Watanabe's shows, or if you're into psychological stories, watch Death Note.

There really is something for everyone if you look hard enough. There is a reason anime is so popular.
From what I have heard you don't need any fancy AI models for detecting either of these sounds. Some of the older alarms were using classic signal processing to to this decades ago.
> If this crap had had to compete with anything else in the marketplace it would have never flown.

It competes every day.

The morass of terrible tooling is explained by the reason that so many other nice-to-have resolutions to common problems don't materialize: even though things suck, improving them is a problem for someone else to solve. Anyone who complains about the state of things (or doesn't) and then proceeds to do things the broken way is contributing to the problem.

The JS example is overstated. People who are slinging code around with a nary a care for what types the objects have deserve everything they get; if you end up in a situation where x can be either a string or a number or a list and you're somehow freely making comparisons between them, then the problem is on your end, and it's way further up the pipeline than where the equality comparison token appears.

FWIW, HyperTalk wouldn't have fared any better[1]:

> Data types usually did not need to be specified by the programmer; conversion happened transparently in the background between strings and numbers.

Note that this is not a defense of mainstream professional web development. I probably abhor it more than you do. But the problems need to be connected to their source and not misattributed to a popular punching bag just because it's easy to score points that way.

Not me, but a coworker learned how to program for the Gameboy and wrote a game that proposed, showing an animated ring and popping the question.

Sadly, I think the relationship fell apart, but it was a pretty clever way to propose, and it shows a lot of dedication.

Extreme professionalism: what it really looks like, how it mixes and intersects with street smarts, and that it can be applied to any enterprise - even "low" ones.
I did not say government projects do not count, I said government projects yet to be completed do not count, because incomplete projects have not disrupted anything. The fact is that you can only identify disruptive innovations post facto -- plenty of inventions that were supposedly going to be disruptive wound up being flops that have been mostly forgotten (easy example: the zeppelin).

As I said, "I guess I'll stay tuned, and maybe change what I said in 30 years once these projects are finished..."

Edit: To your other point about the EU forcing companies to innovate, the reality is that innovation cannot always be forced. The effort could simply fail to achieve its goals, or it may turn out that the technology needed to achieve those goals is not economically viable, etc. It is also possible that the innovation will not actually be disruptive, it may wind up augmenting existing industries and allowing those industries to grow by balancing their carbon emissions with e.g. some kind of carbon capture (powered by existing renewable technologies, avoiding the need for things like base load by being opportunistic with carbon capture), never actually challenging the status quo or enabling anything that would be unthinkable today.
Yes; the Mill architecture's (I'm beginning to think it'll never be released) answer to that is to make compiling the code from an intermediate representation either just before runtime or at install time a normal part of the process.

"Erased" (Japanese title: "The Town Where Only I Am Missing") is my favorite recent series. I believe it's available on Hulu. It deals with some very dark themes around child abuse and murder. It's twelve episodes and each one packs a punch, there's no filler in it.

Rape is objectively evil towards others. Murder as well (exceptions apply).

Abortion is a matter of personal beliefs, one may be lucky to live in a place where this is left to the individual woman.

Euthanasia or suicide generally speaking is strictly individual. I am on charge of my life and nobody else should be able to dictate me what to do with it. Assisted suicide avoids trauma to others, such as when someone jumps in front of a train . Not allowing it is psychopathic torture (you force someone to suffer because of your own personal views)
Ask HN: How can someone with a Masters in Teaching transition to tech?

This is interesting, however the open core business model is absolutely terrible.
Why can't you just provide Enterprise support with an EE-friendly license, but keep the EE features open source? That will also remove the conflict of interest in your business model.
That probably should be taught at school. That's the way farms work. Animals are slaughtered so you can eat them.

The reason I think it should be taught at school is first because it basic knowledge. Farms employ a significant portion of the population of most countries, and that's what puts food on the table and keeps you alive. That's pretty important.

Another reason is that school can teach that with a neutral point of view. Not like extremists who will describe any farm work involving animals as torture, and not like the interested food industry who wants you to forget that yes, animals are slaughtered to feed you.

Personally, as a meat eater, I think that realizing that an animal died for your food helps respecting it. By that I mean don't waste it, cook it properly, appreciate the taste, and of course, prefer respectful farming practices as much as you can.

I don't disagree with you that human contact is important for a great deal many of people. However, cynically speaking, death and debilitating, potentially long-lasting illness from Covid also can't be hand-waved away. It's an issue of balancing the needs of the many against the needs of the few, and unfortuantely in this instance the actions of individuals can cause incredibly amplified levels of suffering for a great many people.

There's countless examples of people all over the world not taking appropriate precautions and care when dealing with Covid. I think it's pretty obvious that you cannot trust everyone to do the right thing, and indeed there's enough people not doing the right thing for it to cause major problems.

Additionally, note that the current outbreak in Melbourne - 12500 cases, and 175 deaths (and counting) - can be traced back to a handful (i.e. 1-3) initial outbreaks due to lapses in quarantine protocols. It is absolutely, demonstrably true that individuals can cause a 'chain of deaths'. Individaul leaked cases through a lockdown can cause an explosion of cases to spiral out of control if allowed to get any traction. I would not call that wild or panicked exaggeration at all, and is most definitely based on what we know.

Lastly, it's very obviously false to claim that a hard lockdown cannot help, see New Zealand as a shining counter-example. Extremely aggressive lockdowns and widespread testing can indeed control it.
Andrei Rublev. It's long. And slow. And in black & white. And about a Russian medieval iconography painter. But the last sequence is stunning.

It's about a young boy who is the son of a bell maker. Everybody in his town, bell maker included, has died. Some soldiers come around looking for a bell maker and the boy claims that he was taught by his father. He proceeds to make the bell.

I won't go any further, but the story is one of the greatest analogies for creation and creativity. Tarkovsky was likely talking about his own films and his process of creation, but I believe it applies to anything creative, whether that's a startup or a programming language.
I have generally made the 3-pane view my default for this very reason (which has obvious left-right semantics for hierarchy traversal). I think maybe you can also command click the folder-name header? I think I once knew about CMD+Up but my general workflow is in the terminal these days, so Finder is mostly only used for selective-file-move/copy operations, and even then, called from terminal. It’s usually `open path1; open path2` then select and drag.

As long as the animals are making the poop it makes sense to use it. Has organic fertilizer usage had an impact on the bottom line for the companies making the poop?
Set up Google Analytics from scratch
All assumptions about user behaviour as well as campaign performance have to be validated. Decisions on content changes and campaign budgets should be based on data instead of gut feeling.

Therefore it is of essential importance to set up Google Analytics professionally, to ensure the right KPIs are tracked and analyzed.
Since Silicon Valley interviews are a hot topic here, I thought Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast episode on hiring nihilism might be of interest.

I've just checked "of" on my Mac with HyperCard, and the answer is no - it's not optional. (I tried with "answer the number of cards" and "answer number of cards", which both worked fine, but "answer the number cards" and "answer number cards" both didn't).

If you still have copies of those industrial control HyperCard stacks, I'd love if you were to upload them[1] for the online collection[2] (provided, of course, that doing so doesn't violate any NDAs / etc...).

Good relationships of any sort are founded on trust. You develop that by actually interacting with a person over time and getting to know things they wouldn't be happy to post to the front page of Hacker News.
Damn, what a bummer. Is there any way to re-enable it?
I think it's about cultivating a healthier mindset about why you develop products, in particular avoiding the trap of zero sum, win/lose thinking.
That’s wild. I’ll leave it off, though. I don’t trust Finder to handle file operations safely and effectively (too many dangling files, partial copies, and littered indexing files in my history).

If I have dot files, I’m gonna go all grey beard and handle them in a terminal.

Ideas for First UI Project
Yes, sure, it could be a slippery slope, but there's a reason that phrase denotes a logical fallacy. As with most technologies, we don't need to ban something desirable, but we do need to develop a set of social norms and corporate transparency around responsible usage. We're at the very beginning stages of that process, because all of this stuff, at this scale, is relatively new. The GDRP is far from perfect, but it sets the stage for this sort of effort.
Years ago, my nephew somehow stumbled across the accessibility shortcut for invert colors and "broke his computer"

I’m curious what this complaint is about, since the only thing I’ve experienced is an annoying pop up window that you must approve similar to what one gets in Windows.
Just out of curiosity, what kind of resources would be needed to be able to develop something like this with a risc-v processor? I know the architecture is in its infancy, but it would be awesome to have stuff like the popcorn pc or even a raspberry pi on a risc-v architecture for tinkering with.
I get gizmos like this as gifts every now and then. I never bothered opening any of them up. What are some fun things that we can do with these things besides their intended use?
