This is a recently sensible idea: computers, and thus compilers, are now so fast that it is reasonable to compile and run a small program, even for a single use, in preference to interpreting it. Arguably this is the same reasoning that favors JIT interpreters for (e.g.) Javascript and Guile, and the bytecoded forms of Python and Emacs-lisp.

Among ahead-of-time compilers it is more true for faster compilers, such as for C and Golang, less so for Rust. But the abstraction facilities and libraries available in C++, in between, make it the more powerful choice, on par with with Guile. Usefulness for this purpose depends on having libraries that are especially convenient to use. The file system addition to the C++ Standard Library is welcome.
Youtube playback also seems impacted (the front page loads, but videos don't play).
Woah. Haven’t used Dropbox in more than a decade but they got rid of the syncing? Wow.. that was the most useful part to me. Interesting.
I think it's just because Downdetector is getting tons of traffic which makes it think people are having more issues than usual with virtually everything. I haven't heard any actual people say Spotify, Twitter, or Twitch are down.

I do not choose to doubt your personal story (although, it sounds like fiction) but statistics on welfare fraud show that it is a small fraction of welfare program spending, and that the majority of such fraud is perpetrated by third parties, not beneficiaries. As an example Social Security disburses over a trillion dollars every year but estimates fraud costs them $355 million, much less than one tenth of one percent, basically zero. By contrast retail "shrinkage", or people stealing the inventory, amounts to 1.5% of US retail sales, and compliance with the federal income tax stands at merely 85%. So social spending looks pretty solid by comparison.
Even if you get the perfect training data, the state-of-the art neural networks will not be 100% reliable. Convolutional neural networks work by recursively recognizing shapes. In theory, the first layer should match the picture on something like this and conclude "it's probably an eye":

o o X o o
o X X X o
o X X X o
o o X o o

(above, "X" denotes low relative brightness, "o" denotes high relative brightness).

The next convolutional layer is supposed to see something like this and conclude it's a face:

(eye) (not a bumper) (eye)
(not a door) (nose) (not a wheel)
(not a shovel) (mouth) (not a window)

That's in theory. In practice, each input to the second layer will be a vector of probabilities. Like 90% eye, 80% wheel, 1% door. The output will also look like a vector of probabilities, and the layer is supposed to figure out a linear formula matching inputs to outputs that results in the best statistical outcome. So it can very easily come up with kernels like this:

* A: (an eye or a wheel) and maybe a bumper to the right of it

* B: (an eye or a wheel) and maybe a bumper to the left of it

* C: (two wheels) side-by-side

In this case, the baby face will be encoded as A together with B and definitely not C. Because each next level produces a linear combination of the previous level's outputs, the "or a wheel" parts will get nicely canceled out as long as the "2 wheels" kernel input is a low value, concluding that it's a face with a confidence of 99%. Until the light falls from a different angle and the baby holds a round lego brick near their face, suddenly yielding 80% confidence that it's a car.

Drawing parallels to organic life, neural networks are good at replicating inborn instincts. Like animals instantly recognizing predators, food or poisonous plants. But they are still far away from having a situational awareness needed to make judgement calls in most real-world situations.
the site is still up, but playback is broken. they are trying the best atm.

Yes, it disables access to remote resources:

So if you have a local web server (like on localhost), you'll still be able to access it, but you won't be able to access non-local IPs.

At least one vlogger I follow posts duplicate content on Bitchute (which is up).
Sadly so many of the guides and sites look old fashioned (or crazy low quality). I started working on a site for normal people that takes info about your location and family and suggest risks and gives recommendations and a way to digitally track your preparedness for a given set of disasters and does things like reminds you when to replace items. I did customer research before covid and found most people weren’t interested or thought of prepping as crazy. Good to see the change of heart

Show HN: System design interviews done right.
Hi everyone

My name is Ihsan and I'm here with my co-founder Jason. At our previous companies we were on both sides of the classic systems design interview, and found the remote experience to be far from ideal. We were frustrated that existing tools didn't support real time cursor and shape movements, easy access to common symbols used in software engineering, and a dashboard for managing the interview experience. The world has found itself having to adapt to remote work because of COVID-19. The effects on remote interviewing are watered down experiences conducted through google docs and google draw. These options are far from ideal, require less complex questions to be asked, and lower the overall integrity of the systems design interview. We weren't the only ones who had this problem. Today we're launching DesignPad beta to uphold the quality of systems design interviews across the industry. A painless and fair evaluation is deserved by both the company and interviewee. Our goal is to provide you a fully functioning platform to conduct system design interviews remotely without compromising the integrity of the interview.

Here is a DEMO of our beta! https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=emb_title&v=V2EijbEVWmI

What can it do?
Realtime collaboration (shapes, text, arrows, cursor locations)
Suite of shapes commonly used in engineering design
Fully functioning dashboard equipped with archived rooms, screenshots, and scheduling
Mobile support, touch through phones and tablets are natural to whiteboarding, fully supported on DesignPad!

How can I get started?
1. Signup at https://designpad.io/signup 2. Check out our user guide at https://www.notion.so/DesignPad-...

Let us know what else would be useful for you Happy Interviewing!
Although there is an official API, your photos and videos pulled via the API will have most of their metadata stripped, including GPS location tags.

The best way is via Google Takeout.

If you have a large library, your archive may fail to be generated by Google: you may have to resort to creating several large albums, and restricting your Google Takeout to one album, and creating several Takeouts.

You can only create 3 Takeouts at any given time.

Yes, it's a pain. I'm sure they know.

Know that "high quality" photos and videos frequently have garbled tags, as well. If you've kept backups of your original photos and videos, they'll be much better than what you'll get from Takeout.

(Source: me doing research to support reading Google Takeout metadata sidecars that are then imported by PhotoStructure).
There are Linux integrators who make plenty damn sure that suspend and other features work well. Instead of comparing against random mix-and-match scenarios, it would be fair to compare with products that are going for similar integration without curtailing user freedoms.

Now, you may not be a fan of their limited market power and subsequent inability to dictate everything else about the platform to the software ecosystem or adjacent devices. That would be a fair criticism. Apple's animosity towards open standards for accessing device functionality or cross-device communication does allow them to move faster. At the expense of the rest of the market.
Another consideration is that it only works if all the code agrees on tsconfig settings (e.g. strictness settings and path resolution). That can work in a monorepo but won't work if you mix libraries.
That would țruly be an awesome offer. I'm not sure that I would take it (stingy should be my middle name) but offering it would be a very respectful gesture by Google. Follow up question: would we trust that paying changed anything?
Yes, YouTube Is Down
I’m actually quite impressed with how Ableton came up with a UI that didn’t exist about 20 years ago and then stuck to it without trying to be all things to all people. The hardest thing to do is to say no.

What’s even more impressive is that they did not start out doing any user research. They made what they wanted and (pardon the pun) it struck a chord. If they had not had the courage to trust their instinct, but had done what so many designers do and focus on satisfying only the needs users can imagine and articulate, I think they would have made yet another Cubase or Protools lookalike. That’s a crowded market and they wouldn’t have made it.

Sure, I understand and agree with your criticism, but there are probably great tools that do what you ask for cleaner and better because those tools are designed around different ideas.

If they can squeeze this in and make it work: great. If they can’t, that’s okay too.
Got a picture of it?
I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a colour e-ink display showing something like the current New Yorker cover. They do exist [0] but are likely significantly more expensive again than monochrome, and the 32" panel listed on the site is only 720p.

Oh! And I thought it was something with my setup. Didn't want to fiddle with it atm, and just closed it. Phew! :)
This looks really good and well timed. What will you do if Firebase builds something similar?
Yes this is what's happening in Ableton and by your description I'd love if Ableton did the same thing as Ardour.
I understand sandbox is not the simplest, but it is exactly what jBridge does and it gives me better performance in Ableton, so by simplest I meant that Ableton wouldn't have to change how they do processing, as jBridge is just a wrapper - does not modify Ableton in any way.
I think Apple Maps is no longer inferior, at least in places where the full redesign was rolled out.
Server push never made any sense anyway for most subresources. The server doesn't know about the state of the browser's cache, so using server push for a subresource could cause it to needlessly push a subresource that was already cached by the browser.

Maybe it is useful outside of the browser context, e.g. in gRPC.
And the price is just for the display. The paper itself is extra :P

>As long as the page loads quickly, I don't see why a 4000 comment page would be more taxing than having it spread across multiple pages - one can simply stop reading, no?

Threads aren't linear - people don't read them from top to bottom like documents. Every subthread is a separate conversation which the reader may or may not be interested in, and having distinct pages makes discovery easier. Ask yourself why every other list page on the site is paginated? Why have only thirty stories listed on the front page? Why not just list every story ever posted, or every story this year, or the first thousand or hundred at a time?

And as far as "one can simply stop reading," ... yes... but this is a forum. It's primary purpose is to be read, not to demonstrate how quickly Arc can render HTML and send it up the pipe. That isn't even impressive. What is the value added by rendering a thread in a single page? How does that make the site better than pagination? What is the user getting in return for the loss in readability?
Not an American, but I do agree and am seeing a perhaps a 'knee jerk' reaction in society where we've neglected girls for so long that now the pendulum has swung the other way very quickly.

Think of all the initiatives to get girls into STEM, to give them positive role models, to enrich their lives, to give them more heros and icons in media (consider every hero in recent CGI and cartoon films).

We, humans, do this a lot. We see something wrong, and we overcorrect. So, what happens then is that boys start to get left behind again. I think we're going to need to correct the correction in some way down the road to ensure we really have balance and equality.

I have a daughter and son, I'd love for them to grow up in a world where they have equal opportunity to live lives that are meaningful to them.
redirector.googlevideo.com/videoplayback works again, but it looks like they just lost metadata servers. No metadata loads on video pages, but if you happen to have pages opened from the time they still worked you can play videos fine.

https://w3c.github.io/webtransport/

I had read a technical comment once that told that HTTP 2 push was superior to websocket but couldn't remember why.
Also what's the difference between push and server sent events?
Well.... they couldn't afford Fast.ly, or Akamai, or Brightcove, but they could afford any tier-2 or tier-3 CDN.

For example CDN77, would start you off at 0.016/gb if you have more than 100TB per month, without any negotiation.

If you have 300TB per day, you surely can negotiate sub-cent pricing somewhere.

No, the costs are manageable.

I think the charitable/community projects setup for developers, need to act like non-profits in other sectors and actively seek out donations.
Gmail mails cannot be loaded either. While the frontpage seems working.
Yep, absolutely. Python has taken off in a major way for data science / machine learning work, but Ruby is still a fantastic option for web apps and for general purpose programming, with a great community. You can be productive in it very very quickly.

I may be biased, but I find Rails and Ruby conventions still more intuitive and less surprising than Django, especially when onboarding new people.
One of the really great parts of Notion is that you can view your data in multiple ways (table, schedule, timeline view, etc.); does Obsidian have this functionality now? I haven't checked.

I'd love to use Obsidian to store notes, mostly for the note graph, but it's missing aliases[0].

hmmm so monkey bars with 40-60lbs load. That's really impressive and something you have to actually train for.

I guess they did train that movement specifically (in armor etc.), because it's not something you could just randomly do on a whim even if you are very strong. Definitely not something you would WANT to do on a whim if you can fall down to your death and also have to be in good enough shape after to fight (which makes this particularly crazy).

Damn, considering that they were also trained grapplers, those must have been one hell of sparring partners.
What does “modern” mean?
A "fast website" is super-easy to create if you don't add dozens of megabytes of useless crap to each page.

Two decades ago: hardware was slower, bandwidth was far more constrained, and browsers didn't have so many features nor take up so much resources --- and yet the speed of page loading was often much better than it is today!

Indeed, most of the "problems" web developers complain about are self-inflicted.
Yeah, see this is one of the ways in which I find online dating now even worse than it was in the oughties. People didn't even bother trying to inject some kind of personality into their profile, so even if I matched them I had nothing to say to them. There is no online dating anymore really, there is only online hookup. That's fine if that's what you're into, but goddamn is this shit shallow.

I think it is time we admit that there are some problems that just can't be solved with a website.
Also long video 2.5hrs. Still plays after rebooting router, closing and reopening browser
What about the new users visiting the site for the 1st time in that small downtime window? If their first experience sucks there is likelihood they won't come back.

So:

(number of new users) x (probability of those users not coming back) x (lifetime value of a youtube user) = I highly doubt this is equal to 0
If your infrastructure is codified, you should be using versioning for it as well.

True, however this is a far smaller variation ("several tens of percent" [1]) and only happens slowly (~once per day). This is in contrast to gas turbine peaker plant with can ramp by 10-20%[2] of rated power per minute.

Go ahead and give the ones you've listed a spin in a VM. Pop!_OS seems to be pretty popular.

The Cinnamon flavor of Linux Mint seems to be very popular with reviews stating essentially the same thing as what you're looking for - it's mostly hassle free. MX Linux seems to also be popular for that very reason as well.

I can't personally attest to either of them, but I've been running Fedora KDE Spin on my work machines and I've never had any problems outside of those I've caused myself by tinkering. I firmly believe that if you just installed it and let it go, you'd pretty much get everything you needed after installing the RPM Fusion repo.

“‘1984’ as history

One of the key technologies of surveillance in the novel is the “telescreen,” a device very much like our own television.

The telescreen displays a single channel of news, propaganda and wellness programming. It differs from our own television in two crucial respects: It is impossible to turn off and the screen also watches its viewers.”

https://theconversation.com/what-orwells-1984-tells-us-about...

Well, it’s only halfway to 1984, since it doesn’t look like it has a camera. Let’s call this a 992 technology.

For New Yorkers, walking out of the flat and being bombarded by a loud presentation of news was part of the experience for over 100 years, ever since newsstands have been around.

But the difference here is instead of being bombarded with 7 or 8 differing dailies headlines, you get exactly one. The NYT. That’s a bit Orwellian.

For some reason, the story of the man who ate nothing but McDonalds for weeks straight popped into my head.

They also serve as a kind of memetic device. To see the current state of things, the user does not have to (1) read a bunch of numbers (2) remember the current state. Instead, they can look at the image (full of knobs and sliders), and utilize the much greater visual processing capacity of the human brain.
Hackintoshes from my experience are usually built as a low cost hobbyist alternative. Most people earning a living from a Mac will sacrifice speed to have stability and support.

They really should extend KVS for this - it's going to be very difficult to leverage if the XSS interface is underneath the filesystem (as shown in the diagram) especially for RDBMS where the database is (usually) a single big flat file as far as the filesystem is concerned.
Leasing the hardware makes sense - basically like the iPhone upgrade program but extended to macs.

I know people who upgrade their Mac every time there is a speed bump and just sell the old one. They would presumably be candidates for this.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see this.

I just don’t see any reason Apple would tie the leased hardware to a limited software bundle.
