IMO open source projects need open source tools. I use gitlab for example.

The problem here is that Microsoft has interests now on GitHub, same as Nvidia has interest on ARM. Sure they will assure blablabla bla bla... seriously, do not even try to denny interest on expensive acquired stuff

> A better analogy would be like, if you had a video store that had a machine in the store that allowed people to make copies of a video tape using a duplicating machine. If someone wants to buy a duplicator for home use and use it in their home, that's one thing

That's what's happening here. Github is selling (for free) recording machines.

If you have the recording device, then you can use it to record video that gets transmitted to you. But there isn't a place you can go to have the video duplicated for you. You do it yourself.

Unlike C/C++ you do have to care about tuning at a minimum to set the memory sizes.

That said you probably can’t get very far in c/c++ without worrying about memory the whole way through. So, you only worry about tuning when writing your code.
This is less “your employer” and more “the IRS” causing this to be important, and your offer letter / employment contract almost definitely has a location in it. If you work from a state where your employer doesn’t have a tax nexus, for instance, working there can cause one.

Until we were all working remotely, this usually didn’t come up - if someone disappears from the office, HR will follow up to make sure you aren’t causing a tax problem. Now it’s a mess.

The DMCA request was not legal, but it isn't GitHub's job to determine that. GitHub is following the law here, just like they would follow the law and reinstate the repository as soon as the owner files a counter-claim.
>HTC, basically the only other headset maker

HTC headsets were widely regarded as having poor build quality and mediocre support. I'm glad to see them gone.

Besides Oculus, the new HP Reverb G2 will be launching soon with native SteamVR support (and no Facebook requirement) and Valve's state-of-the-art Index headset is an option for the high end.

The VR games market is just getting started, like with PC games 30 years ago it's going to take a while to nail down a standard control scheme and mechanics for VR games. It's still early days but titles like Half Life: Alyx give me hope for the platform. All it needs to do it get more affordable, which is bound to happen as technology improves.

Is there a name for this? Can we call it "Wellness clickbait"?

It's definitely a thing: "What we could learn from the [country that's somewhat 'exotic'] art of [a word in their native language, maybe translated]"

Here's a good one: "Hever Castle is encouraging visitors to try the Japanese art of forest bathing". What is forest bathing, you ask? "Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku is simply spending time outdoors under the canopy of trees to improve health and wellbeing".

But "Follow the Japanese art of forest bathing" is a much better headline than "try going for a walk in the forest".

I don't see social media suppressing dissent at all. I see dissent everywhere - from anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, anti-maskers, BLM, Antifa, neo-nazis and militias. Ideologies and conspiracy theories once confined to AM talk radio and underground forums have become mainstream politics. Pedophiles have rebranded themselves "minor attracted persons" and are campaigning on social media for pedo rights as human rights. QAnon is mainstream enough to win elections. Even conservatives who are, we are told, terrified to speak openly in what they describe as an oppressive Orwellian atmosphere of left-wing censorship, somehow manage to flood social media with right-wing speech.

If the sole purpose of tech and social media is opinion and thought control and dissident suppression, it doesn't seem to be working outside of the obvious authoritarian places like China.

> I would urge you to consider what "network effects" are occurring due to mild and moderate censorship that is not absolute.

Subtle network effects and mild censorship exist everywhere - we typically refer to these networks as "society", "culture", "religion", "family,", "employer," etc. Certainly social networks can modify behavior, but typically it's easier to undermine that effect on social networks (through alternate accounts) than it is in real life, and typically the negative consequences for breaking norms on social media are less severe than in real life.
You have to tell your employer where you live for tax purposes. You can lie, but that’s called tax fraud.

Can you elaborate on how Michiganders are uptight? I grew up there and I usually think of people here as genuinely friendly (excluding people mentioned in your first paragraph). It seems like a fairly balanced mix of cultures here overall (relative to the US on average).

Efficient End to End Entity Linking [video]
How to perform full end-to-end entity linking has always been a challenging problem in NLP. The typical approach for this is to use a model to detect entities and then employ another model to perform entity disambiguation. And this paper beautifully formulates these two steps into a single neural network model.

> I would still choose to live longer if I can.

That's the thing. I would choose the same, and I know many others who would. For the people who would prefer to live what they consider to be a "normal" lifespan, they can simply choose to end their life when they want, or not avail themselves of whatever treatments become available to increase lifespan.

So many "anti" arguments against so many things boil down to "I wouldn't want that so you shouldn't get to have it either". Those arguments are tedious and annoying.
I think part of it at least is being able to operate on spreadsheet-style data in a contiguous environment, building it into the document in a way that you can’t if there’s a file type divide
Most interesting excerpt from the article: “But the great advantage of limited-purpose institutions is that they let us achieve their limited purposes while still disagreeing on other things. Everyone gets this instinctively when it comes to "Sir, this is a Wendy's." Sometimes mundane things like lunch take precedence over great moral conflicts: not because the conflicts are unimportant, but because we shouldn't hold up the drive-thru line until the great conflicts are resolved. It's precisely when the issues are important—and divisive—that we need limited-purpose institutions most.”
I live in Michigan so I have a few thoughts about living there...

If you love urban centers than Michigan might not be for you. There is Ann Arbor but it's a college town and not likely what you want.

Michigan has over 10,000 lakes. There are lots of parks and open state land. It's not just the tourist places like the dunes (where you can take off road vehicles on sand dunes) or rivers you can canoe on camping trips. Not far from me is a dog run (wouldn't really call it a park) that's over a hundred acres of state land. It's a chunk of a much larger thousands of acres section just meant for dogs. Other areas have horse trails and stuff.

There is a lot of opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.

This is also going to mean that you aren't going to have great public transit in these places. The options are limited because it's off the beaten path.
And if anyone didn’t know already this is the behavior of every shell as well. Resolving variables to values is done before the line is executed.

Holy crap - I forget sometimes how many people are in India. Compare those two numbers to LA's 4M people and you start to remember how small America is population wise. With the way that tech is going AKA Eyeballs/ads/consumerism equals money, the tech scene in India is going to be much bigger than the US in the future.
Restoring old electronics is a booming segment on YouTube. If you enjoyed that, there's a virtually endless supply to peruse.
"Ever" could be a very long time, and lots of things can happen.

For example it might be possible to AoT compile parts of the code (as long as the types are fully defined) to export as a standalone library, and if that happens it would be beneficial to write the number crunching libraries for glue languages in Julia. I mean, there are already those (like DiffEq to Python and R), but if it's a binary that could have just as easily come from C it would be even better. And there are already works along this path, including for wasm deployment.

The multithreading in Julia is very fast and easy to use, and I'm sure it will become robust and safer as well as the language gets older, which can very well allow for an Akka style framework that allow for large software with both high reliability (thanks to stuff like supervision trees) and structured code (since like Julia's ecosystem design favors small libraries composing with each other, the future of large Julia codebases could become the composition of many small high level but fast actors).

There is also lots of interests in work-arounds on the garbage collector, like improved support to immutable structures (like 1.5 improvements on structs with references to mutable structures). It's possible that you might be able to more reliably write parts of the code that do not allocate (or allocate in predictable ways), so you'll be even handle those realtime code loops.

Sure this is very speculative, but look at Python today compared to when it had Julia's age. It took 8 years since Julia became public to get to this point (2 years since it got the first stable release, 1 year since it got it's multithreading model), it will surely be different when it has triple that age.
I wonder when the governmental hammer is going to come down on remote work. How long until states decide they need to "do something" about companies headquartered there that don't participate in the state economy beyond utility bills. We've already seen how they react when a company dares to feed its employees lunch.
This being HN, my mind immediately jumped to browser cookies and I thought "yes, if your course site has a cookie popup, that sure will affect the evaluation of teaching"... and that is actually something I've seen before on a course website, fortunately come across while searching the web and not while I was taking the course.
The placebo is the meningitis vaccine.

A real vaccine, with side effects that are similar to what is expected of the covid-19 vaccine. It is a well tested and safe vaccine and it will protect you from meningitis but not from covid-19.

They are doing that exactly for the reason you are mentioning. Of course, participants are aware of the nature of the placebo they might receive.
Time series analysis especially goes well with Julia, as the number of dependencies is in the same order of magnitude as the number of data points.

Numpy / torch shines when the slowest part of the data processing is big matrix multiplication. In that case actually waiting for Julia compilation can slow down experimental iterations.
Most people (luckily) perceive racism to be a bad thing. Being forced to publicly confess to being something you should be ashamed of is the definition of humiliation.

I don't see where you're getting that. GP rightly pointed out that 1201 prohibits tools "primarily" designed for prohibited circumvention. That's a perfectly coherent thing to prohibit, and that has the perfectly clear, logical implications that GP described.

Now, if what you really mean is that is is vague, then I agree. But I don't see any case for it being incoherent.

I suspect the few companies like what you describe have a list of applicants longer than the golden gate bridge. So unless you're well known or well connected enough to get their attention they're not interested. Why settle for a random engineer when they can get a world renowned expert with two PhDs and four 5000+ star git repos?

Hah, I still use laptops with 2G and 4G :) They work perfectly fine when you know what you are doing. But running Java with 16GB pool does not fall in that category. The same holds for small cloud instances.

Admittedly even with a C program the size of a problem requiring 16GB might not run well in a 2GB machine, but the fact remains that Java applications are often much more memory hungry than comparable C/C++ implementations. And if you have the memory they will just use it without any Xmx. That sounds really like computing in the 1960/70s that you need to allocate memory in advance. (I'm old enough to have seen such stuff, although not when it was new.)
You're not wrong, but that's a bit of an unfair comparison.

You're likely talking about work on custom memory allocators and impact on real time performance. In the hosted services domain this isn't so much an issue. Nobody's doing that in Java, and you likewise wouldn't care much if writing the same type of service in Rust.

Rust very much enables you to write high level, Java-style code. It's not bad code, nor is it difficult to write.
For sure; I found it pretty stark how a given Computer Science curriculum doesn't cover much of what you actually need to be successful in the field: architecting, engineering, planning, testing, wiring services/api's together, etc.

To add on this - you can use it as inputs (and outputs) for org babel. Eg. A tabulated list of ENV vars to be passed to a bash script, which in turn generates a list of URLs that you can pass to a RESTclient script or python.

When editing, it updates the width of columns automatically and supports tabbing through, along with re-arranging rows using common shortcuts within org mode.
My (admittedly limited) experience in NYC taxis did involve a lot of rapid acceleration and speeding. This makes a lot more sense now. Might explain some of the NYC cabbies reputation for reckless driving if they are incentivized to be going above 12mph as much as possible.
I do not think the intention is at all to replace spreadsheets, if that is the concern. More, this is a great way to move some data through a series of exploratory questions without having to push the data through many other tools.

In large, it is Emacs taken to an extreme. With the major feature point that all cards are on the table. Meaning the file you get at the end, is just plain text. There is no need to ever worry about export of data being locked out from you. Yes, using it is currently best exemplified with Emacs. No, nothing is forcing that.
Before the pandemic, you were probably caught on camera committing several crimes. Nothing serious. Some jaywalking, maybe, or perhaps you stood on private property without knowing it, or you were smoking a few centimetres too close to an entrance ... there are dozens of possibilities. Hundreds.

Now: you are T-boned by a car running a red light. The driver is the son of a police captain. You want to press charges, but suddenly, you are being indicted for dozens of crimes. It took all of minutes for the police to pull out every single time you were in public for the past 7 years and, thanks to the wonders of AI, not much longer to narrow down to the forty or fifty occasions during which they have you on record as committing a crime.

Are you still sure you want to press charges against the captain's son? Or should bygones be bygones? Because it will be hard to press charges and fight dozens of charges in court, one at a time. In fact you will be in and out of court for years to come. Or not. Who knows?
Why do?
Honestly, my worst encounter with racism to this day. I've never seen anything like it. I had these notions of the USA having a reputation for customer service. If this is how you get treated when you are poor and black and relying on a bus to get you between cities. Its very relevant. But since I figured it will offend people. Decided to edit, and leave that out.
Looking at London, here is a chart of knife attacks 2010-2019:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/864736/knife-crime-in-lo...

Other random comparisons:

2019 murders in London (population ~9 million): 149

2019 murders in Houston (population ~7 million): 140

2019 murders in Chicago (population ~2.5 million): 490

It seems difficult to assess the impact of surveillance cameras on crime. There are many factors that would impact it. It may be more instructive to look at the 'solved crime' rate. Does the % of convictions positively correlate with the number of cameras?
The last time this appeared on HN [1], this chart was (rightfully) called out for being unsourced, garbage data.

This chart continues to be unsourced, garbage data. Look at the source for it - it is this spreadsheet. [2][3]

The primary source for all of China's figures in that spreadsheet is this [3][4] puff piece.

Now, the astute reader will notice something strange with this data. Somehow, the primary source [3][4] for the spreadsheet claims that camera/capita in China is similar to the rest of the world - yet, for some reason, the spreadsheet - and the subsequent article claims that all the major Chinese cities have an order of magnitude more cameras than the rest of the world.

Garbage in, garbage out. The methodology for gathering the per-city statistics was wildly inconsistent (There is incredibly obvious undercounting[3] happening for nearly every datapoint that's not in China), and the end product is completely worthless - unless you are, of course, using it to reinforce pre-existing biases.

[3] You can tell this spreadsheet is utter garbage, by looking at the entry for NYC in it. It claims that NYC has 31,490 cameras in it. I've visited NYC twice, and I've probably walked past more cameras than that in the ten days I was there.
