The "How to digital photography" guides are more like a cookbook, which tells you what steps to follow to get a result, where this is more like a technical reference, that tells you what the camera is doing and why you'd want to take a given action to get a certain result. Personally, I don't consider myself to really understand a subject until I find (or reverse-engineer for my own use) a good technical reference: I might be able to get results, but if the black magic doesn't work as expected, I'm stuck calling someone who does understand the 'why'.

I suppose a better question might be why hasn't Panasonic updated this guide? I don't think the subject matter has been nearly constant enough. What about Panasonic might have had the finances and institutional willpower to task a group of engineers, web developers, and technical writers/drafters with the job of creating this, but not had the power to keep it updated or recreate it today? It's very old - are their customers all 15-year veterans who got into the field needing this reference, but subsequently kept informed of news developments with piecemeal updates?
Really because many government organizations have taken to twitter/social media to be the official (and in some cases only) method of public alerting and notifications around emergencies, school closing, traffic alerts, and a wide range other topics.

So if I am not allowed to access twitter, or banned from the platform then I am being banned from participating in my local government

So if it not a public service, then public organizations (like police, fire, schools, etc) should be barred from using the service
There are at least two other organizations that contribute to the Bytecode Alliance, so I don't see how Fastly has overtaken the standard. Could you elaborate on that?

As for "personal bias," I think that's fair game considering the personal history between you and one of the members of BA. Wouldn't exactly be psyched to work with you either.
There's got to be a public IP somewhere. What are the "exit nodes" for Diode?
Yes, if you need to parse that input string to generates an appropriate SQL query, you would need to have a small DSL (domain-specific language) for that "string", whatever it contains. If the string contains SQL-like syntax, e.g. "SELECT name from users", then yes, it would be easy to build a grammar for this.
If one of your VCs goes rogue, you are probably going to face very, very serious problems depending on where you are in the business. Early on, simply put, a bad VC will kill the business.

15% reduction in mortality among the chili eaters? Do I read that correctly?
Of course there’s an XKCD for this! Ah, the wonders of the internet.

The article in question was written in 2008: I was 11 years old. I guess I now fall in to the category of “heard of it by the age of 30”.
> Why can't "we don't want this trash on our site" be the reason?

That's a perfectly fine stance, and it has worked well for traditional publishers like the NY Times and Washington Post for decades. They control all their content, and publish exactly the narrative they want. OTOH, if NY Times publishes an OP Ed that slanders and doxes me, causes me to lose my job, etc. then I have the legal right to sue them. See for example the Covington Kid[1].

Facebook and Google want to have their cake and eat it too. They want free rein to pretend like they're just aggregating content, but this election shows that they are definitely using both AI and humans to control what's published. So why should they enjoy all the rights of both a "tech platform" and also a traditional publisher, with none of the responsibilities and liabilities?

Section 230 was crafted explicitly for tech. It can be modified or removed, too.

There certainly are more fine-grained solutions possible.

My believe is that if this is forced into a take it or leave it scenario, we're not going to like the outcome.
Ah, yeah, that's fair.

I could imagine there are also cases where people are happy there is no public notification. If I get in a heated twitter argument and say something over the line, I'd probably prefer Twitter just let me fix it quietly
No, the entire history of social media has been low-cost entrants capturing market share from existing giants.

I'm definitely dating myself here, but Livejournal, Blogger, Myspace, Frienster, DailyBooth, Friendfeed, Yikyak, Snap, Vine, were all once the dominant social media website before losing to new entrants.

Facebook was started in a college dorm room. Twitter launched as an employee's side project. Instagram began with two roommates sharing an apartment. WhatsApp began as one guy.
The event described in that article about Northwestern was voluntary, as were the statements of that Dean.

Statements of that sort are meant to be acknowledgement that systemic racism is universal and perpetuates through us at the individual level, and usually in ways far more subtle than police brutality or the use of racial slurs.

One of the most anti-racist things that one can do is acknowledge the racism in themselves, and keep that in mind and in check when making decisions that affect others. Never trust when someone says they are absolutely not racist - it's something we all struggle with because of our shared conditioning.

A Dean saying they are racist and a "gatekeeper of white supremacy" is just acknowledging that through the power of their position, thet exercise a system that furthers white privilege.

If anything, that Dean should be applauded for confronting and acknowledging their own role in racist systems.

All the same, I can acknowledge that part of me becomes somewhat racist when walking through a less white part of town at night (and I'm not white).
Ask HN: How do you test your back end infrastructure?
I'm talking more than just healthchecks but in-depth functionality, load-test and everything. Did you program something yourself? Testing every component on it's own is clear to me, but what about the whole system?
Are there any resources on the topic of testing complex backend infrastructures with multiple microservices?
Thanks
Older people were less vulnerable in the U.S. as well. The problem was that young healthy people were more likely to have an immune system overreaction. This applied to both genders.

Is is wrong or illegal to just lie? I was asked this by an external recruiter once and I just told him the salary I wanted to make, and it ended up working out.
Well you're constantly getting free signals. They just happen to be signals with only three very wide band filters. But you can still identify some materials with them. Like cat fur. :)
> 1) I get the correct response; Assistant first asks me if I want to use "air check", I say yes, and get the correct response.

Yeah, I don't. I just get "Sorry. I could not understand that." if I remember correctly.

> 3) I don't know why you expect a computer to answer this question well at all. [...] Instagram photos are unlikely to be representative of a whole

Sure, but I defined the query pretty clearly, and I just want to answer the "general" question of "Are people generally wearing masks in that area or not" and I already babysat that question into a data query that could use the Instagram API plus some object detectors.

I understand it's hard for one person to write code that could formulate and piece together that graph, but I feel like it should be a tractable engineering problem for Google.
Inferring hard drive reliability from retail returns
Japanese bees have developed a strategy to defeat the hornets so they're better able to protect their nests. Bees in the US don't have that strategy.

Pretty cool to watch actually: https://twitter.com/ferrisjabr/status/1320152207212253185
4Chan is light years ahead of ZH and the rest. There were posts that were so eerily accurate about the virus late Dec into the first couple of weeks of January it was freakish.

People like to write off 4Chan for all the shit posting and racism, etc. But if you can ignore all that there are truly some amazing Gems to be found.
Yep, this is exactly how the company I used to work for used it (tcl/AOLServer) in order to create a web interface for managing paid-for network connections in hotels & what not.
Even with immortality everyone can have one child. It takes two to make one. And the infinite series 1+1/2+1/4+1/8... converges to 2. So the population would just double.
If JVM optimization is "too hard" then you're going to have a bad time trying to run a distributed computing system.
You'd specifically see it with tiling window managers like i3. I can put any container node of the window tree in tabbed, stacked, tiled horizontal or tiled vertical mode. So, I can have tabs of any mix of programs, I can change the mode to see all tabs at the same time, each tab can have subtabs or windows organized in any way I see fit, I can fullscreen any level, etc.

The handling of those tabs also fit with the rest of the window management, like putting marks on a container so new windows appear at whatever place in the window tree I wish (like having a shell to my left and all windows I'm invoking having them appear organized in an arbitrary manner in a window container to my right), etc.

I can keep going, but if you're not familiar with tiling window managers, I feel like probably none of what I'm saying is making any sense...
Should be up by now; seems auto-DDOS'ed, lol
Fair point. I think not allowing by default and having some means to grant permission is a decent idea, but implementation has to be right so people dont develop a habit of allowing it every time they're asked.
Wasm offers a unique opportunity to invent and define a new ABI standard, one with (at least minimal) support for the concept of classes. How to make it popular is another question.
Not sure what it has to do with right/left wing. Free speech should exist regardless of your economic or social views and should be protected with the force of law.
THANK YOU!

I still miss Serveo because this was easiest tunnel solution that "just works!"
In my experience, Caddy is much easier than Nginx. The auto TLS alone is worth it.
I don't think you have to know someone. Moreover, if all you're looking for is a straight up dev role (vs quant research or trading), I don't think it'll be that hard. Not sure if you'll pull in 400 or 500k, but if you're good, you should do pretty well for yourself.

Just apply for roles, if you're a good dev, I don't think you should have trouble landing interviews.
I tend to downvote very rarely and only for clear violations for the rules, not for comments I don't like. Telling the author why you didn't like something they did often gets them to change or explain their behavior. Just because something is upvoted doesn't mean it is something that should be on Hacker News.
$500K Challenge to Build a Social-Care Platform
One thing that does annoy me about Julia is how much they focus on performance. I do appreciate the speed but the reason why I use Julia isn't because it's fast, it's because its (in my opinion) a nicer language than R or Python/Numpy and I would like to see more effort go into that.
Nothing about the article suggests that text was forced. I'm not going to trust the Free Beacon's interpretation of some out-of-context screenshots.
It was the owner of the platform & its developers, neither technology - I think we both understand that.

I was just trying to make the point that it's not necessarily emotional for someone to not want to work with a certain tool without an expert available because of terrible past experiences where that was the case.

I'd say it's almost impossible to imagine any past event someone has present at without having some emotional response.
I tried Dendron in the past, solid tool. I personally use Obsidian and would recommend it over others like Roam. It is super fast and super responsive.

Advantage that Dendron has is that it is based on VSCode which is fantastic foundation. Pretty much why I love Obsidian, you type fast and can work on ideas quickly.

I personally couldn't care less about graph, it looks pretty but to me not useful at all.

Good thing about tools like this is that you can sync and backup text files.

Bad thing is that having mobile app would be difficult. However, I use IAWriter to write into type of Inbox on my phone and this file is in Obsidian (again same workflow like Dendron)

To me personally, Dendron is too similar to existing one I am using, otherwise solid tool and would recommend to people.
Fair enough, though it's still not a hardware reason.

You could have just given 16bit handles to all 32bit programs, with the con being harder 64<->32 interoperability (since sending a handle from 64 to 32/16 would require faking it), but then you would not break _existing_ applications at least. Guessing 32bit handles also broke quite some 32 bit applications.

In retrospective, I would not have made it the way I describe either way, since it looks like people could care less about old 16-bit compatibility, and on the other hand 32<->64 coexistence was common for quite a while.
Ghostwriting Tests for You
If you take the speed you've just bought everything will be less tiring.
For me, at this point, the biggest baggage is dealing with Oracle and funneling them money if you want an LTS JVM, alongside the shifting sands of their licensing rules. Unfortunately it can still be a bit of a wheel of fortune as to how well (if at all) something runs on OpenJDK.
dublin not included and it poses the highest risk of collapse
I live in the bay area and everyone I know calls it "I-5". "Everyone I know" of course could be biased though as most of my circle did not grow up in California.
I just say 5% less than what I want. Are they really going to sue me? Nope!
There are laws restricting how employers can use salary history in 19 states and 21 localities. In California, for example, employers cannot ask for salary history or use it to determine pay.

https://www.hrdive.com/news/salary-history-ban-states-list/5...

(p.s. HR Dive is one of my sites and we're hiring https://www.industrydive.com/careers/ I promise we won't ask for salary history :)
Stand-up 2.0: What do devs want from the daily?
That is my approach as well, in many things in life - with one caveat that depending on size of company, it may not have anything to do with a working relationship. In a small company, interviewing with your potential boss, I think being upfront and honest is worthwhile and a good litmus to see how they respond to that.

In a very large company where you are negotiating with a dedicated HR recruiter, it's a very different process. They will never ever talk to you again after you sign on the dotted line, and have a very different, very narrow set of parameters to work within - and may indeed have expectations that go with that focused role: i.e. a team lead would expect you to be upfront and productive; but a car salesperson or a real estate salesperson would expect you to haggle and negotiate. Not saying I like that, or that I enjoy the prospect or process, but it benefits to be cognizant of the nature of process and expectations.
Shades of that asshole in line at Starbucks holding conference call over a bluetooth headset.
Interesting! I thought Wireguard is 4K lines of code while OpenSSH is hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Thus Wireguard is more secure.
While there can be advantages to reading a lot and reading fast, I would also suggest that there is value to reading less (but still consistently) and letting your brain mull things over. Some thoughts really do require time.
I reported many Tweets from "reputable" news outlets that have this type of propaganda and lies and literally none were addressed. That makes me think Twitter has an agenda that is not very nice.
Did you read his email?

80% of the content was directly addressing people who disagree with him.

Two sentences were dedicated to addressing people who already support Biden.
You do talk to your computer. And the accuracy and speed of it has improved dramatically.

Your computer has yet to process meaning.

That is where we are stuck right now.
> Death is [...] important

You can die if you want, but I'd prefer immortality.

> Would you rather live forever or have children?

This is a false dichotomy that is the product of thinking in human terms.

You don't know if immortal beings take up space. Or if they self-replicate. Maybe multiple conscious entities can even combine and then disentangle, for a sort of cerebral experience.

Who knows if we'll be confined to this planet if we don't have bodies? Will we have bodies?

If we don't, we won't even need earth like habitats. The entire solar system works. We might even solve the Jupiter radiation thing.

All of these things are way cooler than kids. Granted it's all a pipe dream, but I'd jump at the opportunity.
> because they're not actually trustworthy to me

Mainstream US media are not trustworthy, period. Repeated cases of going beyond bias and into simply parroting government or political party claims with no evidentiary basis, merely for influencing public opinion one way or another. Often, one would guess, while fully knowing the claims are baseless. The omission of coverage of various issues also contributes to the 'trust-unworthiness'.
The ability to limit spread by controlling your border has been a factor, and that’s certainly easier for island nations.

But it’s not the only factor: well-managed healthcare systems, clear government policy and action, and public support for controls are also important.

e.g.

- Vietnam: landlocked, populous, excellent internal response: just over 1000 cases and 35 deaths; approx. 60 active cases currently

- UK + Ireland: quite frankly a bit of a mess
California now requires that companies reveal the salary range if asked.
I would not necessarily call it enhanced security if you are using Android and your phone is not one of the latest models. Plus of course someone can just steal your phone, force you unlock it and steal more than they could ever steal from you if you only had cash.

Your enhanced security is a box containing more money than you can carry. This box can (most of the times) only be opened with a key but this key is always with you. So whoever steals your force will just force you to open the box
The operative word is assistant. Voice assistants should be able to do everything a human assistant can do.
No one "won" the speed wars: the top firms are all competitive with each other and have a gentleman's agreement against spending billions more for nanosecond gains.
Personally I prefer software that improves (slowly) over time, for at least a couple iterations. It's a balancing act to be sure, and there are diminishing returns to changing things up, but I think very little software comes out of the gate in a >80% optimal form.

I haven't found the changes in Caddy's config format to be problematic in the least.
I think the concern about the amount of power they wield is legitimate, and I think we, as a society, need to have a serious look at what that power means.

I just feel that the issue of blocking a particular site is tangental to the real issue of the power these companies have. I am much more worried about the way their algorithms work for choosing who sees what, but that is not a concern based on 'free speech'
it does not solve this problem at all, and in fact has the same problem -- it is possible to detect if content has been loaded before with ipfs in the same way as this. the remapping of content-id => content-data is not only trivial, it is required for ipfs to function in the first place.
Is that this case, from 10 years ago?

Don’t even have to lie - “my expectation is $N” is a legal and ethical negotiation opener.
The BMJ is not a credible source, it is the Daily Mail of medical journals. The author of that article, Peter Doshi, has form:

"I think the first thing we to review is who is Peter Doshi? And why is he so insistent on getting this data?

Peter Doshi received his BA in anthropology from Brown University, MA in East Asian studies from Harvard University, and Ph.D. in history, anthropology, and science, technology and society from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Those would be fine credentials for someone who is going to teach history or anthropology."

Yes, in the "Essentials of Interpretation" class (aka "Building an Interpreter from scratch" we focus exactly on runtime semantics, and evaluating the language. The S-expression allows greatly simplifying, focus on runtime specifics themselves, skipping parsing stage altogether.

In "Essentials of Parsing" class (aka "Parsing Algorithms") we shift exactly to the syntax, and understanding the parsing process from within -- this in general may have nothing to do with runtime -- for the same exact syntax you may have different interpreters or VMs (even with different semantics).
Terrestrial testing might be subject to reasonable objections; as one physicist wrote, "Writing the environmental impact statement for such tests [...] might present an interesting problem ..."

It's also an excellent example of designing a user interface to look and sound cool on screen, rather than for usability, which is how I feel about most voice controls.
That's a rather pretentious way to miss the point. The question was “Can you expand on this? Why do you think that?” and the response was a sweeping assertion and the name of a couple of products with no further details, or even a clear indication of which of the three languages mentioned further up-thread or others were being used as a basis for comparison. I wasn't asking for a peer-reviewed paper but even, say, “My team had a productivity loss when they switched to Go because [reasons]” would be better than nothing at all.
I have used salary history to get raises though. My current job offered a rate that was less than my previous job, I showed them what I earned and they matched it + a small increment.
I left before the pandemic started. Apparently it has been very popular within aerospace as an industry. I think that it has become less popular in the past decade, but that's where it started
It certainly does feel like people (in the US at least, which is my exposure) are quicker to categorize you than before. It doesn't matter if 95% of your beliefs are similar, if you happen to be in a situation where that other 5% are relevant and express them, it certainly seems like there's a good chance the people around you that are less acquainted with you are going to assume you're part of whatever group generally expressed those opinions, and categorize you as such. That can have repercussions at work, where there are often many people you have a passing acquaintance with, but may individually or together have an impact on your work life.

I think what this really means is that the more moderate you are, the more likely you are to feel stifled. Whether you're a liberal or conservative, the farther you are to one side the easier it is to know when and around who you can speak. Either you're in a stronghold for your respective group, or you wait until you're within the safe-haven of like-minded people in that area. As a moderate, you hold some views of both sides, and all you ever want to do if discussion comes up is explain how there are reasons why you hold these views that are you believe are rational, but to do so risks people categorizing you as "the other" from both sides. You learn to keep you mouth shut at all times, not just in one place or the other.
