That's not true. Plenty of people get sick on this mountain, it's not the norm and plenty of elderly and children climb this mountain, but there's definitely a not-insignificant number of people who could not handle the altitude without acclimatisation, among which many who're in perfectly fine health. Your personal experience does not refute any of that, just google Mt Fuji Altitude Sickness.
It boggles the mind the people would carry around always-on personal trackers that not only perfectly pin-point your location, know who your family and friends are, and can also listen to your conversations.

Smart speakers are not all that scary if you know how they work and that information, in detail, is all out there. They go to a low-power mode waiting for the keyword and only then do actually turn on the main CPU and do any processing.

I know a senior who's family had to remove him from the nursing home due to a massive psychological break from prolonged isolation, especially a lack of familiar faces being able to visit him.

He was so dissociated from his environment, they decided that the risk of death was much less of an issue than the degree to which his quality of life had degenerated.

I think the reason why the GP stated that is because the site requires you to provide an email and states it as a demo. I would love to look at a site like this, but I agree that there seems to be no good reason to provide an email address to see the results for a website like this.

> Squashing unrelated commits, however, doesn't help anyone.

This however is something I've seen people do. Worst case I've encountered was a group of people that squashed all commits belonging to a whole product release - we are talking a team of 6 people working full time for half a year. Absolutely atrocious behavior, but there are lots of weird people out there.
That might not matter if these are passive investments. If you have a company servicing your machine, so what if your profit is low? Save your money and buy a second machine, then another one, then enjoy your exponential growth on your vending empire. If things are making money you aren't doing poorly, especially when you might not ever have to visit one of your machines and can work another job or pursue your interests.

It's not really $200k in income. That number ignores the initial investment (and thus its associated cost of capital) as well as the economic depreciation of the machines (since you have to replace them after, say, 25 years). As I calculated in a different comment, the actual economic profit is negative.
I was surprised that I couldn't even open up a DM conversation without it blocking on the network - the Ctrl-T/Ctrl-K quick-find just got stuck when I tried clicking on the person's name.

Identify Your Unique Value Prop with the Kano Model – How to Guide
I built a project for my company a little over a year ago, the project is live now. It's a recruitation tool, where the candidates fill out a questionnary with several questions and three types of question: multiple choice, text typing and video recording.

When searching for a tool to use to record the videos, I was very happy to find this open source server, so I wouldn't be locked to some service provider. The documentation is quite good and I didn't have difficulty integrating it to our project, despite the fact that I'm mostly a front-end and NodeJS developer.

Now that the project is live, we are having a few problems with some users. The videos that our users record are stored and watched later by specialists, we don't watch them live. But after the user start and stop recording, sometimes the .mp4 video file is not found on the server. But it is very nice that Ant Media has a admin page with CPU and memory usage, and it also reports when there's been a server crash.

It asks my email address and the support service receives the log files and reply at most a few days later. We're in contact right now, I'm sending them all the information I can to help resolve this issue. Of course we tested the integration ourselves, with 5 concurrent users recording, but not a single one of our tests has failed the way our users are reporting.
Are you certain that nobody searched for those keywords or entered them anywhere?

If I search for something, it immediately shows up in the facebook feed of the person I live with. We aren’t even friends on facebook.

However we share an IP address via NAT, and I’m sure location data has leaked enough to correlate us.

I have never yet come across an example of this where there aren’t correlating variables other than the always listening mic theory.

Here is the thing: With git, the history looks the way I want it to look like. It is not a list of how I worked and in what sequence. Unless I want it to. I generally don't and instead prefer the history to be comprehensible by someone looking for how features are put together and interact and changed over time. THAT, saves time when I need to look at it again.
Lol, nice one.

Tesla has a history of using remote diagnostics to snitch on drivers instead of allowing investigators to do their job.

It’s a valid concern that your car manufacturer will use the interior cameras to blame a crime on you.

These automatic tagging features also bring to question the bias in algorithms. What does this mean for drivers with disabilities? Is it possible that a safe driver with ADHD or Turrets etc might be flagged as inattentive during an autopilot crash and therefore at fault?

I think it is an interesting tools problem: making interesting graph diagrams of the full git log graph is a fun and interesting problem and often looks great in screenshots, but rarely is a particularly "useful" view to most users. It's not as "fun", doesn't produce as many shiny/colorful screenshots, to build --first-parent views by default and introduce (and test) graph drill-down based user experiences.
> And damage does not scale linearly.

This must be today's "most HN" comment.
Alcohol vending machines are rare, but still exist. There’s one outside of my in-laws house (rural Shiga-ken).
For the best of both worlds, I like the "git alligator" workflow: always perform a merge commit when adding a feature, then use `git log --first-parent` to browse the history without seeing the intermediate commits.

Why wouldn't you just contract a service company to stock and maintain your machines? I don't see how this isn't an excellent entirely passive opportunity. If the returns are low, that's still money you didn't have last month and money you could potentially spend on another machine to exponentially increase your business. If you are contracted with a service company you could scale infinitely.
Ask HN: How to fill this knowlegde gap?
Not sure how to explain it, but I'll write down a couple of examples to show what I mean.

1. Developer X knows how to write decent code. Readability, maintainability, dependency injection, good patterns, solid principles, etc.; his code is easy to read and elegant, and more importantly it works as expected (at least based on the tests on staging environments). Now, the code goes to production and fails because: the number of, let's say, customers the code was loading into memory was just too much for the server to handle (the code was using a simple `for` loop + array variable to keep the customers). The server's memory was exhausted. One solution was to use rabbitmq instead of a simple array.

2. Developer X writes a `select` query to perform a search. The query works fine and is fast... but in production it takes much more time than expected (because the database has to handle load coming from other parts of the system as well and because the tables in production are way bigger than on dev or staging). Besides, the `select` query wasn't being run against the slave database, but against master. Developer X didn't think about these two topics when writing the query.

Basically, developer X has read all the books that appear in Google when one types `Top 10 Books That Every Programmer Must Read` (and more), and has a solide background in theoretical computer science (networking/databases/operating systems/compilers/automata theory), but has a hard time dealing with so-called "common" patterns/solutions in the real world (master/slave replication, async task processing via queues, issues that appear in production due to a huge amount of data, etc.)

Developer X is learning the "hard way" (through experience at his work place), but he finds this way of learning really slow (that's why he read all the top +10 software engineer books in the past).

How can developer X learn faster the topics he lacks experience with? Any really good books out there?
I was talking about pinning workers, not fibers. Empirically, it is often better for performance to allow the OS to manage the hardware threads. Sometimes its worth pinning to a NUMA node, sometimes to a core, rarely to a cpu. Just reporting our results for many thousands of hours across a wide spectrum of test environments.

I can understand it being counterintuitive, believe me it has been a shock. But it's true.

>If you create and submit small PRs and git-squash those PRs into the main branch, you'll get the best of both worlds.

I definitely advocate for this. But I've worked some at some spots with "never squashers" that deliver every PR as 119 commits and tell me this yarn about "the time having all those commits totally saved their bacon". I've just never regretted squashing my commits into something manageable.
and they don't publish their data. So the code is useless in come cases.

This written with the focus on the game development audience, but I'm really excited for green threads to be coming full circle on Java with Loom. (Green threads were in Java 1.1 then were quickly removed in favor of Native Threads) As a lot of the work described in the article are handled once in the JVM instead of each application dealing with it separately. Debugging tools that already work with it (except UI displays not used to displaying 1000's of threads at once). Still have to deal with the normal concurrency issues you always have, but how you approach them in the language isn't really any different then you have in the past.

I am sure police will be eager to use this sort of data as exculpating evidence. I mean, they don't have a history of doing this with normal evidence, but when we hand them more data (knowing data = power) I am sure they will start operating in a totally different fashion.

I don't see how the contracts example is simplifying things while staying realistic. What if I need to have separate kind of default contracts for different classes of customers? What if I need to modify the details of a certain type of default contracts for all consumers that are using it? And on and on. If storing them in contracts table is not good (which I don't really agree with), then where should we store these variety of default contracts? How do I join them with contracts table to know which consumers have default contracts? Or groups consumers by type of default contracts?

Keep the model sensible. Contracts belong to contracts. Add basic sanity to the model. The service that manages the data guards the data beyond basic data model sanity checks. Also, explicit is better than implicit.

It is a legitimate improvement to see everything that happened when you were offline. At that point you're not supporting XMPP; you're supporting "XMPP with some pixie dust to save that and let it be viewed, which is in a totally different place than your live chats".

You can see the inference benchmarks of OG Jetson Nano and RPi3 with Intel Neural Compute Stick[1]; the FPS are at least double if not more for all tests on Nano and many tests did not run on RPi3+INCS due to memory.

It would be interesting to see the tests repeated with Raspberry Pi 4B + Intel Neural Compute Stick 2, but I doubt whether there will be any drastic difference as this setup will still be bottlenecked by USB bandwidth when compared to Jetson Nano.

Even if the performance matches some how, the price/value is overwhelmingly favourable to Jetson Nano more so with the new cheaper 2GB version.
