There is no equivocating here - the assertion is that the folks in this category are incompetent and, "almost rational," whatever that means.

> "I've just realised that welding and painting are different kinds of work and most people greatly prefer one over the other. Perhaps we should label the jobs and let people gravitate to the kind they like so people aren't as unhappy."

Except it's more like, "We hire people to design and assemble complex machines and some people make their own tools while others buy them. Anyway, the people who buy them are basically incompetent and when they claim to prefer focusing on producing the machines rather than tools for building them it's because they are scared of losing their jobs. Let's give them a new title, ideally that trivializes the work."

It was reported that the problem was NVidia switching to lead free solder for their chip to motherboard connections but not also switching the potting material to one that had the same thermal expansion coefficient as the new solder.
I'm no market expert, but wouldn't a pill dispenser be a very niche product? Most people aren't on any medication and thus won't need one, at least until reaching old age.

Though the number of old folks is getting larger, so maybe that's a market by itself.

The three essentials: strong borders, lots of testing & tracing, and social distancing (including masks).

I've read epidemiologists saying that there's kinda a CAP theorem for epidemiology. Namely, you can trade off one if you're strong on the others: if you're going to have a greater risk of letting it in from weak border controls, then you have to make it hard to catch (distancing) and detect & eliminate it fast when it shows up (testing & tracing). Similarly, if you don't want distance then you've got to be very strong keeping it out and finding it if it shows up. And if you're slack on testing & tracing, then be extremely vigilant on not getting it in the first place.
Both "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" make sense. If you emphasize the second word ("I could care less") and phrase it in a tentative tone of voice it conveys the meaning - i.e. it's possible that I could somehow care less, but it's a theoretical possibility only.
Antitrust regulators power is determined by the size of the market, not the location of the company HQ.

Antitrust regulators for big markets like the US, EU can effectively block mergers from any internationally operating company. Both AMD and Nvidia need access to EU - their customers certainly do.

Try more than a decade. AdSense was filled with scams and botnet software (pay per install, was quite profitable for a few years). Google never cared.

I wonder why they've never been investigated/fined for stuff like this (or have they?). I'm thinking their defense is that the fact that there's scams is a legal issue, so go through the legal system...

Actually I think it says a lot about how expressive SQL is.

I get why a lot of developers take swipes at SQL - it is a bit different to other languages. But you cannot beat it for what it does.

Another ‘great’ language is XSLT - so far I’ve seen nothing else that comes close for transforming data. It’s just a shame it’s so closely tied to XML which has understandably fallen out of favour

git, for example, can do this on a large repository when checking for updated files (because it needs to check the modification timestamp of every file in the repo), and for a lot of common operations it's actually the bottleneck (and one reason why it is often faster on linux: the VFS layer in linux puts a lot of effort into making such operations as fast as possible, somewhat appropriately Linus was the one who did a lot of that work originally). In C it works pretty much as expected, and most of the overhead is in the kernel.

Same here, I was at university, and we used Pine too. I also wish the same. Often my colleagues find it strange I use a text-based program for email - as if 99% of communication online isn't using language.
So I got that after someone here talked about being nearly trans, because he had no stereotypical feelings? Shouldn't that be normal that your mood changes and you like different things on different days and in different stages of your life? I somehow find it very strange that now people are trying to box "normal" (as in that's how our system is supposed to work) behavior into "trans" - what's the purpose of that? I'm sure it's not helping acceptance from (frankly speaking) "weird" people which apparently can't accept other opinions. If everyone is non-binary to some degree (which seems the conclusion of some herr), why make a category for that and not just treat the psychologically ill who can't accept that?

and yes, that was a misinterpretation apparently. However, I am right that transition actually means taking hormones, getting an operation or daily crossdressing? Because if it's not and the people are unhappy, I think they should get psychological help (which might be a stigma itself). Except for the real external features I really doubt that people in the rural US really get to know that you are watching romcoms with your wife and enjoy it?

Btw: if there's 1 of 100 trans, how come you really know a lot of them? I imagine if they are in the closet, it's hard to get them talking about these things as well! So how do you do it?

EDIT: isn't something completely broken if some people binarize traits as female and male and accordingly everyone in between as non-binary? I mean, before we categorized people into genders by sex, now we categorize people into gender by their binarized behavior.
I stand corrected. I also found a clarification from Wikipedia on the situation.

Losing float but retaining flex and grid would not significantly simplify CSS though. Flex and grid are much more complex that float logic.

And floats are useful for primary-textual content. Wikipedia uses it a lot for example. Probably less useful for application-like interfaces.

Me too, but sometimes no need to make things more complicated. It's also a feature of mutt - that I can fire several instances almost instantaneously and use them for different purposes. I have to use outlook at work, and there's nothing more frustrating than waiting for it to load up, and not being able to view and search my old emails when I am composing emails (or is it when I'm selecting contacts - I can't remember).
> I’d imagine a foot to same foot distance is sufficient to solve for speed.

There surely must be an assumption about leg length, and that the person wasn't just playing some hop-scotch style game with long, slow, bounding strides. I think I'd need quite strong evidence to convince me that ancient humans were as fast as someone with modern nutrition and training. Especially as (unless I'm mistaken) there's no indication that people in hunter gatherer lifestyles today are particularly fast.

There is one subtle fact that kernel contributors (as well as members of other "serious" free software project) have to make a point to avoid knowing the internals of proprietary software, in order to avoid any suspicion of copying the code, design, or willful patent infringement.

As such, submitting a patch that relies on such internals in third-party proprietary code and thus imparts a certain amount of knowledge about those internals to the reader might make the work life of the reviewers more difficult. So it is considered distinctly impolite.

I'm not 100% sure about the exact legal reasons/mechanisms involved, but this has come up previously during the review of Microsoft's DX12 patches for WSL.
> no one is actually saying the Iraq War was a good thing

I am. The Iraq war was inevitable after Hussein built a massive army and declared himself the next Suleiman, and invaded Kuwait with Saudi Arabia being next.

Any serious historian or military analyst would come to the same conclusion.
Has anyone affected (or their parents) considered how this sits in line with the GDPR (implemented as the Data Protection Act 2018).

It has various provisions for purely automated decision making processes that have significant effects on a person, and some of these require prior impact assessments to be carried out. It's quite likely these weren't carried out, given the circumstances.

Might be an angle for anyone affected that's looking to learn some "real world" skills they weren't taught in the syllabus, and fight back on such a basis.
Yes, and this is still usually quicker than firing up a full-fat email client (as I often have a web browser open anyway).

Maybe, maybe not. What I don't want to do however is keep track of everyones imaginary genders, and face legal repercussions for "misgendering" them.

The next logical step here is that Amazon is also liable for the counterfeit products they sell and seemingly do absolutely nothing to police.

Consumers currently get blamed for this (eg [1]), sometimes through absolutely no fault of their own. Imagine walking into into Best Buy or Macys, buying something, and then getting in trouble for buying counterfeit goods.

Just watch how quickly that problem gets solved once Amazon is liable.

These companies really want the best of both worlds. Amazon wants to own the customer relationship but have none of the responsibilities ("we're a third party marketplace"). Uber wants to control what drivers do (as in, not drive for Lyft at the same time) but not have them as employees. Airbnb wants to run (illegal) hotels by arguing they aren't running hotels and it's really the hosts who are responsible.

It's all kind of ridiculous.

I really wonder how common that need is and whether it's worth adding this sort of baggage to Linux.

Honestly, for me, mounting Amiga file systems would be more useful.
Which file formats did you use?

One of my frustrations with ML is that almost no one seems to be training on HDR data. It's all 8-bit RGB. There is a big opportunity here to train GANs on raw sensor data.

But that raises the question of which file formats to focus on. Since you have lots of image processing experience, I'm very interested in what the data formats were like at your job. Was it proprietary formats? If so, were there any advantages over e.g. the RAW file format? Is RAW sufficient for standardizing "everything necessary to turn photon readings into a photograph that appeals to the human eye"? E.g. if I gather thousands of RAW photos, do I need any other information not present in the RAW file?

Mainly I am interested in any insights you gained on the job: you might know of some unique advantage that certain data formats have over others. I'm extremely interested in training ML models to synthesize what comes into a camera (photon readings), as opposed to what the world looks like to the human eye (RGB values).

(I apologize for not phrasing my questions more carefully. It's late. The essence is that right now, most ML training operate in terms of RGB, yet there seems to be many advantages to operating in "photon space". The trouble is, it's effortless to gather millions of RGB photos -- but it seems very difficult to gather a million RAW photos. I'm hoping someone knows of a massive trove of "some kind of raw data that can be turned into RGB values" – maybe that's RAW, maybe it's something else. Whatever it is, once I have it, I can feed it through an ML model.)
Ask HN: How do you overcome decision fatigue in software development?
Name any kind of project in nearly any domain, and you can choose from a dizzying array of possible language choices and tech-stacks. The modern state of software development in nearly any mature ecosystem, and many even that aren't so mature, allows for building just about anything on any platform. Want to build a web app, but don't like javascript? There are so many options in languages that compile to JS, as well as languages with front-end WASM frameworks. Want to write a websocket server? Nearly any language can do that now too. Want to store your data? Phew don't get me started on the infinite ways to do that one, with or without a database, with or without a server... it just seems overwhelming, in part because software development is very time-consuming. You don't want to spend all the time on the inferior choice or the choice that will bite you later and trigger a rewrite and decision fatigue all over again. Or so the psychology seems to go. How do you deal with it?
In France for example, there has been ~35'000 deaths because of COVID-19 in ~6 months of 2020, while there has been ~3'500 deaths on the roads in ~12 months of 2019.

Your "if we both" is a very big if => without making it mandatory, people don't wear them and ill people can propagate the virus to many, making COVID propagation possibly more dangerous than a car accident they could create.
No. I had a laptop in 2010 that also suffered from this issue, and there were also PC GPUs affected.

Laptops were only affected en masse because they have far more heat-cool thermal cycles than the average desktop computer.
Basically Linux kernel, GNU utilities and GCC are the only projects left with a copyleft license, almost everyone else migrated to non-copyleft licenses in the context of making money with some form of open source.

And not everything gets upstream, in name of keeping the main business at the company's soul, for example those optimizations used by clang on PS4? Sure all of those that don't reveal PS4 architecture features that could eventually be "misused".

The large majority of those business have moved into clang, thus reducing GCC usage to copyleft hardliners, Linux is visible on ChromeOS and Android but not on a context that it can fully profit from and then there is Fuchsia waiting on the backstage.

So in a couple of generations, when copyleft software is just a memory in digital books, we will have gone full circle to the days when buying developer software would entitle you to an extra floppy with a partial copy the source code.

The only difference is how that partial copy gets delivered, which will be just the upstream of non-copyleft software.
Show HN: My first open source library is MVFlow: simple MVI using kotlin flows
Hey HN!

TLDR: I wrote a project to show to potential employers. In the end, I liked the architecture I wrote from scratch so much that I think it deserves to become an open source library on its own. Find the link at the end.

I found myself out of a job during lockdown (by my initiative at first, but now it's taking longer than I planned) and decided to start preparing for job interviews by having a sample project to demo to companies in lieu of making a different test or take-home exercise for each potential employer.

Being an Android developer, my project should be a simple app that fetches some content and displays it on list. Additionally, you can select one of the rows to see details about the item you clicked.

I remembered from my previous time job hunting I had created a few of those apps. I took them as a starting point and wrote a new project that took the best parts of different projects.

I started with a MVP project and rewrote it with a MVI architecture - I had grown a big fan of MVI over the last few years. Because I had time (not so great companies were hiring) I did several rounds of tweaking the MVI architecture I was using. After each iteration I liked it more, and could see how this was very generic and powerful that could be used by a lot of people...

Eventually I got to a point where that sample project is finished but now I felt like I had something bigger to do: this architecture deserved to see more than my private git repo. I had to turn it to a library!

So I wrote a library based on that architecture (there were yet a few more changes). It finally reached 1.0. So far I've heard encouraging feedback from close friends but I think it's time to show it to the world!

Please tell me what you think!

Free integration platform (zapier alternative)
We launched Apiway as a completely free integration platform where you can connect different applications for free. We earn from promoting software on our marketplace. Therefore, we can provide a completely free platform, without limits.

We believe that vendors should pay for integration. That’s why we mixed two business models: SaaS and Marketplace. We want to make a “Free Zapier and G2 Crowd Mix”

Use case: the user makes integration between Facebook lead ads and Google Sheets. The interface gives him advice that he needs a CRM. He can choose Hubspot, PipeDrive, or another. Let's assume he chooses PipeDrive and starts using it.

As a result, the user set up the free integration and automated the business process. The vendor received a new client. We earned our interest. Everyone’s happy :)
The paper that article references was discredited for being bad science, not because of any kind of agenda. They collected their 'data' by surveying parents on online forums - most of them explicitly anti-trans / 'gender critical' - instead of from transgender youth or medical professionals.
You are not the only one. However I don't think security is even a relevant concern, because there is one much more fundamental flaw in all electronic voting systems:

The goal of voting is to produce agreeable consent — so it doesn't really matter how you organise voting, as long as everybody afterwards can agree who won, who lost and by how much.

So phrased differently, one of the most important properties of any voting systems is that people afterwards can't just call the result into question. This can only be true if most people voting understand the mechanism, can verify it themselves and manipulation on big scales is hard.

This is why I think any electronic voting system is problematic. Even a total expert would have a hard time proving that one machine worked as it should on election day. If you then have some Autocrat who raises doubt about the election result whom do you trust? That expert who tells you that manipulation was mathematically impossible or that autocrat whose party you vote?
if we treated gender identity disorders the way we treated schizophrenia we would consider them to be credible & serious conditions that require medical intervention at an early age as opposed trying to pretend they'll go away if you close your eyes long enough.
