Seconding this. I love the simplicity of the site, but the way the links work for the results, I would expect that clicking on the license type would filter by that license rather than bring me to the license itself. It would be cool if those links acted like a filter, but were also accompanied by something like a question mark or info button that would bring me to the definition in case I needed it.
What does HN think of free content like audio clips and samples, stock photography, etc? I think it is different than free software where folks are contributing as a community and can sometimes thrive as a business by providing support. IMO free "hard" content such as this is destroying a lot of small content creators that used to earn a living but are now forced to abandon their professions. I fear it will create a bimodal distribution - top notch large houses (Getty Images, for e.g.) and free distribution sites (Unsplash) and nothing in the middle.

I fear a society that is used to free stuff all the time.
This is not the case. Where I live and across the US, cops are wearing the same uniform they've been wearing for 40 years, driving the same cars they have for 40 years, and are armed with the same guns they've been wielding for 40 years. I haven't seen a single cop dressed like a marine in my entire life.

I think you may be thinking of SWAT teams, but those teams are only deployed in situations like bank robberies, hostage situations, school shootings, etc and they do not regularly patrol, do proactive surveillance.
Seattle is dealing with a low grade left wing insurgency[0], just like Portland, which is intentionally starting fights with police, night after night, destroying private property, and occasionally killing someone, like Aaron Jay Danielson, or the two children killed by Antifa-BLM "security" in CHAZ/CHOP. So the judge is right, but it has to do with the ongoing violent insurgency, not law abiding Americans peacefully exercising their rights. The only nonviolent protestors I've seen getting gassed are the ones giving direct cover to a Black Bloc.

Is this in essence the same as the relation between a differential equation and it’s adjoint equation, and how one could use the asking method to perform back propagation? (Eg: ref. Neural ODEs)
I don’t see a problem with cops getting better equipment. I see a problem with cops being untrained to leverage the equipment and understanding which situations call for it.

No knock warrants in swat gear to handle local criminals might be a no no.

Can someone please link the bank robbery where some dude showed up in a bullet proof vest and. Ak47, where the cops literally lacked the equipment to handle the perp?

> Julia will be the killer lang for building web apps

That would be fun, but Julia's community aren't web devs. Julia spawned around very specific needs of scientific computing, which is characterised by a short-running daemon or a script-type interpreter. A web server is a long-running process. Not knowledgeable enough about Julia to tell how it lends itself to server uses, but heard hearsay that it's problematic.
Less-militarized, better-trained police are the answer to pretty much all of the police problems in this country.

Unsurprising, for core business reasons, for sure. But, it is still customer-unfriendly behavior from Spotify. And probably anti-competitive too.

Boy, as one of the very few people who switched over from Spotify to Apple Music, I’m hoping that the Spotify vs. Apple lawsuit turns on Spotify’s head over this
Agree, it's so damn inefficient, for last 10-15 years web developers are building and "reinventing" same basic controls and functionalities over and over, this is such a waste of everything - developers time, businesses money, users cognitive load and frustration coming from differences between various implementations, transfer costs etc.

You’re probably thinking about a caching proxy like squid cache.
Keep in mind this doesn't actually "copy the files" but creates songs and playlist entries in another service, so nothing nefarious is happening. Spotify is just salty there's a service that allows to quickly find the same songs elsewhere.
The problem with "better equipment" is it needs to continuously be justified. That means it needs to be used.
Thank you for posting this list. I was actually looking at the Arducam lenses last night because I'd love to build my own webcam capable of a good image for light content creation, but that I could throw a 90 or 100 degree FoV lens on for calls with groups. I was starting to get a sense of the limitations you listed here and now I'll probably keep looking at some other options like re-purposing a used GoPro with a camlink, spending way more for a DSLR, or really cheaping out on a couple different lower quality cameras. If I can't figure anything out, maybe I'll revisit in 6-12 months.

I think the article's author is right that today's webcams are boring. But I would go a step further and say that the webcam market really needs some of that patented disruption that people keep talking about.
Webviews are less efficient than electron because electron integrates node and the v8 engine together, along with a number of specific patches and improvements meant for singular desktop use.

You can't patch webviews nor change their behavior.

Also windows webview2 is very alpha and currently not useful. No v8 access, very little configurability, and its not using any less memory. It will be years before it's ready.

Chromium itself should have impliments webviews long ago.

- So which one is the "native" web view on Linux / BSD? Use whatever version of Webkit is supplied by the distro? This is a security nightmare, as these are outdated and full of bugs more often than not.

- How does using 2 or 3 different rendering engines solve the problem for the developer? They have to now put in the extra effort and QA for each engine/platform.

- So at the time Electron was founded, it might have made more sense to ship Webkit on Windows. But the developers instead chose to plug in all the extras from Chrome (?). Might have been a better choice to build directly on raw Webkit.

- Even if a Hello World app was 200mb shipped and took 500mb of ram to run, it's still on the developers to get it to a state where it's an order of magnitude worse once it gets to do something useful...

I'm still torn on the issue. I firmly believe going full native is the most user-friendly option, but I appreciate the increased cost and complexity of development, testing, support. But using an embedded web view of any kind feels incredibly, incredibly cheap. Especially for companies with the scale and budgets of Github or Slack.
Did you mean "muddled" or was "muffled" intentional? I agree with your premise, regardless.

I do think Julia has promise, but it is still early days.

In the last 2 months there have been problems with:

* Throwing rows away: https://github.com/JuliaData/CSV.jl/issues/720

* Incorrect float parsing: https://github.com/JuliaData/CSV.jl/issues/714

At there are unfixed issues to do with parsing large files ( https://github.com/JuliaData/CSV.jl/issues/749 , https://github.com/JuliaData/CSV.jl/issues/734 ).

While Julia has become much more stable than it used to be, it is still in many places an evolving system and you (in my limited experience) should be prepared to hit issues.

Every time a pastor has a personal scandal or other personal problem, especially the mega-church pastors, it becomes fodder for media exploitation.

Yes the input impedance of a good tube is much higher than the typical 1 Megohm resistor referencing it to ground.

That's a million ohms so not much of your guitar signal is wasted passing through it to ground.

The input impedance of the tube reacts dynamically according to the signal coming in, and the often dynamic behavior of whatever is plugged directly into it.

When that's just your guitar without any pedals or anything, that can be the most dynamic from a touch-sensitive point of view.
I heard this weird hum in what I would judge as similar frequency band to yours when I stayed at my sisters new house. The thought that I have a weird new ear problem or something really freaked me out at first. And then I realized that I'm only sleeping on a thin mattress directly on the floor and they have a water circulating under floor heating there that just created this hum.
Seems like an obvious and sane target for antitrust legislation - compare with e.g. the mobile number portability directive in the EU way back in 2002.

> In concrete terms, what would portability in the digital economy look like? Let us imagine we could easily transfer our playlists between online music platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, etc.), our files between cloud service providers (Google Drive, DropBox, OneDrive, etc.), our purchase records between online retailers (Amazon, CDiscount, Zalando, etc.) or our social graph between social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc). By limiting platform lock-in, such measures would significantly intensify competition within these market segments.
Good indeed, however I wish there was a way to filter out by source. Of all tunes I tried so far, all those coming from Reddit, mostly if not all from the same author/uploader, sound like the worst possible elevator music with added drums played on a 20 years old General Midi presets-only expander.

> The point is, even if you've successfully banned encryption in big companies, users will then just add a layer of encryption of their own, and that layer can be very very secure.

That's what projects like Maskbook do[1]. The problem with those is that the use of such technology can be detected, and thus the small number of users singled out. You'd need steganography for this principle to work, and AFAIK that's already what paranoid criminals are doing. So in reality making E2E encryption inconvenient only penalizes regular honest people.

In this case, I think mocking is the right thing to do. You want to know that you can handle the case where two hashes collide. But for this purpose, you don't care at all how the hashes were generated.

If the website changes its URI hash algorithm, the "honest" test that just supplies two URIs that happened to collide under the earlier algorithm will suddenly become worthless. The mocked test will continue doing exactly what you always wanted it to do -- exercise the "what if the hashes collide?" case in your code.

Sheriffs do have a lot of power, and are not immune from prosecution by federal or state authorities. Some states do have provisions for the arrest of the Sheriff. Here's an example from Indiana: "A warrant for the arrest of the county sheriff shall be served by the coroner or any other person to whom it may be legally directed. The coroner, who shall commit the sheriff to the county jail, has custody of the jail and its prisoners during the imprisonment of the sheriff."

You're misrepresenting, and side-stepping the question. There isn't a serious problem where people are denying that the concept of extremists exists on both sides.

If the far right groups were reacting to being habitually killed/beaten by the state, and if one of their primary stated goals wasn't to kill/beat people purely for being on the other side of politics, then yes, they would be equivalent. But those two differences are enormous.
That's definitely a human connection desert.

My Sheriff’s Department does not need an MRAP.

My town’s police officers do not need to wear IOTVs.

I prefer my local police forces to look like peace officers, not like they’re about to invade Grenada. The federal funding of municipality's law enforcement is just a kickback to the military-industrial-intelligence axis. The funneling of my tax dollars to purchase weapons of war to be used against the citizens.
There is too much duplication, some of those people are now free to create something of more value and those who have been held back from creating content are now are to make it more easily and with less friction.
When I took numerical analysis, the concept was described as "machine epsilon", which is the smallest number that can be added to 1.0 that is not 1.0.

The utility of this metric is that it tells you the best possible relative error, as you can never guarantee a result will be more correct to the true result (in the domain of mathematical real numbers as opposed to machine floating-point numbers) than half of machine epsilon.

This concept is often extended into discussions of "units in the last place" (ULPs), which is the magnitude of the value of last bit of the mantissa. So ulp(1.0) = ulp(1.5) = machine epsilon, ulp(2.0) = ulp(3.9) = 2 * machine epsilon, etc. A good floating-point library will document its accuracy in terms of ulps, so that we might say that the maximum error of the exp function is 1 ULP and that of pow might be 6 ULPs.
That's a really good point now - previously an advantage of using a CDN was that a browser would request a limited number of concurrent connections per domain, so having the static assets spread across domains sped up that initial page load. As HTTP/2 spreads the cost is indeed reduced.
Well, TV writers are paid peanuts next to mega-church pastors, so there's less scope for charges of hypocrisy. Also scripts are generally developed by a room of writers, not any single one.

But the reality is that it is monitored, but certainly not self-monitored -- it's monitored by advertisers. If an pilot or episode isn't acceptable, advertisers will yank their money in a heartbeat.

This is why mostly all sitcoms preach a "conventional" middle-class morality, because that's specifically what advertisers find palatable. It's also why the first dark/shocking drama on TV -- The Sopranos -- was only possible on a network that was subscriber-supported instead of advertiser-supported, namely HBO.

> Literally no one can arrest him in this situation

Assuming the law is criminal, and applicable, city police probably can arrest him.

It seems quite probable, though, that the city does not have the authority to regulate county or state law enforcement tactics, so the law is simply invalid as applicable to him, which isn't a “we have a sheriff as opposed to some other structure of county law enforcement” problem, but “we are trying to regulate the actions of higher levels of government” problem.

EDIT: Actually, looking at your story, it doesn't look like there is any law at all—the Mayor of Portland made a policy change directed at his subordinates, which include the city police but not the Multnomah County Sheriff's Dpeartment. So no one can arrest anyone because there is no criminal law, except insofar a side of force inconsistent with city executive policy is covered by some criminal law applicable to Portland Police.
With all due respect to all the people working on Julia, I see a stark difference in rigor between say Python's PEP / RFCs and how Julia's core developers operate. The former is a strict formal process with a lot of thought given to a particular PEP proposal, whereas the latter seems like an informal chaotic hashing/bikeshedding between a few key people in Julia community. I've contributed to Julia and people are really nice but IMO it is missing structure, discipline, hardline regimented approach of confronting difficult problems, etc. One feels like hearing a supreme court case and the other a street brawl to decide upon important issues.
> Given the amount of TV most Americans watch, we learn far more "lessons" in any given week or month than we have the opportunity to do so in real life or through friends.

Some of the things learned may not be entirely accurate:

> Copaganda, a portmanteau of cop and propaganda, is the phenomenon in which news media and other social institutions promote celebratory portrayals of police officers with the intent of swaying public opinion for the benefit of police departments and law enforcement.[1] Copaganda has been defined by cultural critics in the United States as "media efforts to flatter police officers and spare them from skeptical coverage,"[2] "pieces of media that are so scarily disconnected from the reality of cops that they end up serving as offbeat recruitment ads,"[3] and "videos, photos, and news clips of police officers dancing, praying, or handing out free food" used to boost public relations.[1]

Does this move have a precedent outside of law enforcement? Seizing domains from foreign interference seems like an escalation valid or not.
