I used Lemmy quite early on. I love that it's made in rust, it did have some speed problems at first but it seems more optimized now. My problem with Lemmy is the same things I don't like about reddit, mainly strong biases in political leanings and problems with moderators. Lemmy is IMO a better made alternative to Reddit but it suffers from small userbase and potentially similar problems with user/mods if later on it's more successful.
Lahori here, isn't Hindi obviously different from Urdu to the ear? Or is it similar enough to the locals that they can't tell?
Since audiobook enthusiasts might be in this thread ... does anyone know of a product (outside Kindle Whispersync) that can ingest an audiobook and the corresponding e-book and using speech-to-text keep them roughly in sync so you can quickly go between the two?
Water from Fiji is shipped all around the globe just because it says it's from Fiji. If humans ever get around to colonizing Mars, you can bet someone will be selling $50000 bottles of pure nectar bottled at the Hudson River.

The issue with "time limit" licenses is that it effectively centralizes contributions.

As an independent developer, I won't want to write patches for a project that will have already advanced internally. Sure I can make a change, but instead of collaborative development at trunk, I have to fork the year-old codebase to make my change available to users. Or hope that the company behind the project picks it up and it becomes open source after the long waiting period.

As the company behind a "time limit" licensed codebase, this means I won't get much from the community in terms of code contributions. Patches that do get contributed are going to result in merge conflicts. Sure you can privately collaborate with selected other entities, and in that case you've reinvented the Android development model wherein the owner company (Google) privately shares code with phone vendors and releases it to the rest of the world at a later point.

In short, this model may work for companies that want the branding aspect of open source while saying no to code contributions or even community governance models. The recent KDE Free Qt brouhaha also shows that this can easily imply delayed security fixes for the open version as well as increased risks of hostile forks. I don't see this as a particularly popular model going forward, although I imagine it covers some use cases well.
It could probably be done now just by looking at hand shapes and if you’re a touch typist you might not even need the projection, just a dot or two (which could just be stickers on a surface) to orientate your hands over nothing.
Lol seriously? As someone from West Africa, it's is such a perversion of the concept you might as well say Facebook is just a high tech version of a bulletin board...

The whole idea is participants come from a tight knit group that know and trust each other, not literally every person in your contact list.

And what kind of community lending starts harassing members preemptively to illicit future payments, them starts spamming people who are unrelated to them indiscriminately?

In 2016, Samsung's Galaxy S7 phone was the subject of a world-wide ban from aircraft (and eventual product recall) after battery defects caused at least one S7 to catch fire while on an airliner[0].

This is far from the only incident of li-ion batteries exploding on aircraft; indeed the FAA estimated that li-ion batteries exploded at a rate of once every ten days on US-controlled aircraft in 2017[1].

Terrestrial lithium battery fires are at least as frequent[2] and have been far more destructive[3]. Given that litihum battery fires have burned down houses, it's only a matter of luck whether one eventually starts a wildfire or not.

Given the established risks of even OEM lithium batteries, making it easier for the public to use lithium batteries of dubious origin and quality is not prudent.

With specific regard to wildfires, I take it you don't live in an area where wildfires are a serious risk. Open flames and other sources of ignition, including cigarettes, vehicles, and camp stoves are banned in wildlands during fire season. If cell phones exploded more regularly, they would, by necessity, be added to the list of prohibited items.

Did he also mention this tactic for air attack?

Changing technologies (and different dominance asymmetries) seem to swing a pendulum between antagonistic scenarios of advertising (We're here, and we're badass, so don't mess with us) and concealment ("We'd given the bulk of Chrome's Zurich account to a dozen world charities. There was too much there to move, and we knew we had to break her, burn her straight down, or she might come after us."). In the air scenario, I've read that visual-era twentieth century air forces would use either silver or camouflage livery depending upon their perception of their own local air superiority.

The HHKB2 in the article is Lite2 that's cheap edition and doesn't have Topre switches but basic membrane switches.

> A major source of latency is key travel time. It’s not a coincidence that the quickest keyboard measured also has the shortest key travel distance by a large margin.

So this article's measurement highly depending on key switches. So it should use gaming keyboard that uses shallower actuation point key switches. I also want to see how variable actuation point keyboard works. (like Topre's Realforce APC)
Is it just me, or does Japan have more of these subcultures like “jouhatsu” and “hikikomori” simply because they give the behavior a name? There are people who do this everywhere but it seems like it’s exoticized when Japanese. Or are these extreme behaviors actually more common in Japan?

Tangent. I had a Minidisc player for a while circa 1997 (bit hazy). It was so awesome. I spent a lot of time putting tracks on the minidiscs.

I always wanted to be able to use it with a computer to store files as well, alas that required a special drive. While it existed never really took off (at least in Australia).

Memory chips might be the future, but minidiscs still look cooler. Cool enough for Neo to sell one in the Matrix :D

The Developer Tool permission excludes a process's child processes from scanning, not the process itself, so you'd have to add whatever launches the Jenkins agent, not the agent JAR itself. That's probably either ssh or launchd; adding a blanket exception to either of those is probably undesirable (if macOS will let you do it at all).

Because their goals are not price discovery. Price discovery needs taking risk. All of them are not allowed to reduce the principal.

They would better reduce return than touch the principal.

Ask HN: Is craftsmanship a thing when it comes to building a company?
It's clear (albeit somewhat subjective) when it comes to product. We all (at least as users) can tell whether the product or the experience are delightful. But what about the company itself? How do you tell a masterpiece of a company from an OK one? Who should one ask to begin with? Shareholders, customers, maybe employees, or the society in general? Is it in principle possible to excel across all those dimensions? Should that even be the goal?

Does anyone know a spotify-audiobook-client?

Erlang also has web frameworks and ORM like libraries.

No, I would not ruin someone's life over a loan, that's why I said "depending on the situation".

I've also given away lage amounts of money - not as loans - over the years without the expectation of being repaid, so it's not a question of generosity.

Simply put, it is not OK to promise someone to payback within X time and not do it. If you are not sure you would be able to pay back, make it clear upfront. If something out of your control happens, it's OK. I agree with you that in that case we should be nice to each other and help each other.

Also I'm not considering interest rates here, just paying back the loan as is.

It is art and design. What she is describing is basically super simplified state of art related to colors in out culture and pretty stable. It is simplified for non-designers, but pretty much similar to what they teach when they teach you classical drawing.

Fashion is significantly more limited and changes more often. Not that these basics can not change, but fashion refers to something still less stable.
This is such an odd perspective. Everyone here would say that the copy and paste shortcut keys are worth learning. Also alt-tab to cycle through windows.

So why is it so hard to believe that other shortcut keys are useful?

I have deep respect for Carmack. If he would rather spin his cycles to solve difficult problems, I respect that. To say that learning time saving shortcuts doesn't save time is shortsighted. If a woodworker chooses to work only with chisels, it doesn't make him less of an artist. However, to say using power tools doesn't make you more efficient is a tad disingenuous.
This is not a good idea because it can reveal people vulnerable to blackmail/compromise. Oh that security guard who works at the bank is late on her loan payment? Great, we can recapitalize her loan for inside help to rob the bank.
I think we all agree that none of us would want to live under CCP.

So the real question is what or who is going to stop them from expanding? Asians have a higher IQ, they have the human numbers and natural resources.

The only thing I can imagine stopping them is that they will be composed of too many regions that want to split. But as long as they can maintain a strong grip, I don't think anything can split off.

There is no world power that can or wants to face them head on, and it will only get worse when they grow bigger (which they will).

Maybe I'm pessimistic, or maybe just realistic?

And neither Elixir or Erlang has the raw performance or ability to run without a VM that Go or Crystal has. That was the point of the grandparent - they provide different things. Not everyone thinks immutability is a feature that is good to have on the language level.

How to Choose a Programming Language for Your Book
Designing the Perfect Hyperlink (2019)
Indirectly: the initial version was a single function, so could have been used in a decorator easily enough.

The issue is what happens on exceptions to avoid tasks hanging around forever. Exceptions propagate “forward” in the pipeline fairly automatically. However, getting the ones “behind” the exception to notice: that was tricky. The best I came up with was the bit of state wrapped up in buffered_pipeline that notices the exceptions and cancels the tasks.
Thanks for the detailed answer. I'll look into terms you pointed out.

I had indeed noted experimentally that picking hues using regular spacing from the common color wheels doesn't work so well, at least not without varying the other components of color. I think for my purposes it will be enough to start with a Munsell-like group of distinct hues and tinker manually from there.
Can you explain more?

I am looking at the answers from this stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1483550/in-erlang-what-a... and the Erlang docs.

I don't get the impression that they are comparable.
Considering the security nonsense that SSNs are (essentially using a username as a password) they really should be replacing at least that one.
I disagree with about half of their decisions about which chart is better.
You are right. But the initial spark often comes from one person, think of Westinghouse and Tesla. Tesla was the technical genius yet he needed Westingshouse economical/financial power-networks to get parts of his ideas through.

Therefore AC power is undoublty a Westinghouse/Tesla/ many others accomplishment yet without the relentless pushing and originality of one person (Tesla) to step out of the giant Edison AC would not have come a reality at its time.

So I think we see two things here: Ingenuity and true novel approaches are (according to my observation) very often the think of one passionate person, the societal breakthrough requires hands and ties working together.

As the second requires the first yet we as a society overemphasize on teamwork already in step one, we are actively hampering innovation. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24374363

Powerlaw and diminishing returns. It's worth learning the 20% most used shortcuts to save you 80% time. It may not be worth learning another 70% to save 10% more.

Not paying back when you have the capacity to do so is theft.

I don't agree with the harassment this company is doing, that's unethical. I just agree with the general idea that social pressure can be an effective measure to make loans working. How to implement that in practice should take in consideration a lot of exceptions and corner cases.
Ah, thank you. It's in a different position on my keyboard (Japanese) but now I know what it's called.
Postgres has a write amplification problem - when you update or insert a row, it has to check all the indexes to see what was touched (unlike MySQL.) Uber made this famous in a blog post where they migrated off postgres because of it.

So with Postgres I try to keep the number of indexes per table down to around 5, but with MySQL InnoDB, 20 indexes is not a problem for many use cases.

The other little-known Postgres problem is that by default, installing it sets up replication that writes a local file in a busy manner. This can cause problems with fsck or on low-end SSD/flash storage resulting in corruption that causes postgres restarts to fail hard, so disable that.
I think the Google example looks better. As someone looking at the chart, I want bold colors that quickly stand out.

Another complain of mine is their statement to use yellow instead of green. But green has the connotation of "good" when paired against red, which it was in their example chart. Using yellow there would change the emotional feeling of the chart, in a way that would make it less understandable.
Thanks, new to me though John Naughton's similarly titled book is in my pile.

France used 576 25i in analog days. And why would analog be any easier than digital? A WMT will give acceptable pictures for this type of shot at about 5mbit which is far less than 8MHz. You can get about 40mbit on an 8MHz channel which gives cracking pictures even at 2160 50p
Thanks for the reference, it's definitely relevant. I took a pass over the paper somewhere between skimming and reading, and, while it's definitely in the ballpark of deriving parallel programs from sequential, it's also pretty clear their source language can't express the stack monoid problem because it lacks a "cons" operation; basically it seems to be for various fancy reduction problems where it consumes a sequence and spits out a scalar. On a quick read, I have no idea whether that's a fundamental limitation or something that could be extended.

I think examples like generating mergesort from insertion sort are maybe trying to be too clever. I mostly just want something that lets you slice up the problem into chunks, process each chunk in parallel, then combine them back in ways that don't kill performance on modern GPU hardware.
