My Apple Watch sure motivates me a lot though.

However, ironically it sometimes actually prevents me from being active at all if for example I wake up too late during a day with not enough time left to close the rings completely. It’s like “why bother”
someone winning the lottery and getting their family members bombarded on Facebook messenger by strangers has absolutely nothing to do with professional class tech workers echoing their amoral leadership

Check if your dev environment is supported - but if it is Apple looks really really good.

Why go for Air tho ? Pro looks like a better device (better screen, better battery, same dimensions) and it's marginally more expensive.
Funny how Microsoft engagement is being sold as worker productivity.

When do the microtransactions for workers to pay to win start?
Thanks - it was QI!

But this reminds me of the "luck and the prepared mind" issue. We can all relate to the story because we can all imagine sitting on the loo. But we aren't Nobel Prize winning physicists, so we could not of the extra mile. It's similar for penicillin- I could easily leave a window open and have spores infect my petri dishes - it's just the Fleming also happened to be Britain's leading bacteriological researcher at the time.

Happy accidents don't push science forward - happy accidents that occur to trained scientists who have been funded and supported for many years, pushes science forward.
Does your company already use Gitlab CE/EE or Github Enterprise? If so I'd just use the permissions functionality there and stick with JupyterLab or the normal Jupyter notebooks. Git will give you versioning, PRs etc. for free.

It's a shame these large companies are are driven to extract as much value from their workers as possible.
How does WiredGuard work?

Would I install it on the Raspberry PI I have Home Assistant on? And they how would I remote into it over the internet?
If you're depending on HA's built-in auth, you're at risk of bugs in that code.

If you throw up HTTP basic auth on your HTTPS front end, you've now moved your risk away from bugs in HA's code, to bugs in nginx's (or whatever HTTP server you use) implementation of HTTP basic auth AND bugs in HA's code (odds of this being a real event just got smaller)

If you throw a VPN in front of all that as well, you've now moved your risk away from bugs in nginx's code, to bugs in your VPN implementation AND bugs in nginx's code AND bugs in HA's code (odds are now really small).

It says his video shows his to make counterfeit Grana Padano cheese. But if I understand correctly, if someone from the correct region followed body instructions, the cheese they made would actually be a perfectly legitimate Grana Padano....
Most likely, if companies start considering this as a real metric for raises or promotions, someone will come up with ways to fake data to increase stats. Besides, it doesn't seem prudent to gamify something so relative.
TL;DR: It didn't.

That fact was pretty useful when making the tooling that ensures that xooglers are not on-call in the future. Please don't ask me how I know.
> No, but you can always encode this augmented information in types to make it explicit

Technically yes, but not all type systems make it practical, or really relevant e.g. you can encode nullability in a type in java… but your reference to your Optional is still itself nullable.
How would you later remove the pin?
The value of SRS goes way beyond memorization. When applied seriously to a field like programming, it enables you to think about the program-design space in a more abstract manner and quickly call to mind and evaluate possibilities. Look up "chunking" as it relates to performance (e.g. in chess).

I've written (and, more recently, made a video) about my 10 years of experience using SRS (via the free tool, Anki) to boost my IT skills.

As bad as it is, isn't it great that they announce that they are spying on us? They wouldn't really need to - how would we know, if they didn't?

Enough naivety...

If people don't think that this has been going on for years, or that they actually announce Orwellian surveillance, I'm not sure what to tell you! We have been already living in a track and trace world - what is happening is that it is becoming overt. And there is nothing to be done about it. We all need the paycheck, right?

Even if there is a massive outcry about this - and I doubt there will be - they will just come back and do it another way. They claim it is a right for employers to get the 'metrics'.

What's kind of dark, twisted and funny, is that the people building the cages of today and tomorrow, are doing so with open eyes - technologists are some of the most surveilled people about, but - no problem! - we'll code tomorrow's hell for you!

M1 isn't RISC-V, but a custom ARM.
The biggest issue with this sort of thinking is that developers tend to create applications that either assume they're the only applications running in the system - or they use machines so powerful that when you try their applications on a lower end machine (PCs with just 4GB of RAM and weak CPUs are still being sold for example) they might as well assumed they'd be the only applications running in the system.
> That is a false dichotomy, running modern software on a P90 might not be very reasonable but that doesn't make people who do not care about the resource usage of their applications sensible - if they are or not depends on other matters.

Developer work is expensive and there's always a backlog of fixes and features. Spending non trivial time on lowering memory consumption from 40 to 28 MB in case of normal end user desktop applicaton is not reasonable in the sense that very few users will care or even notice. This time could be spend developing features with actual user impact.
"You only need a lock that looks better than your neighbours".

If you take your average thief, they will walk past your house and if it looks like it's worth breaking in they will do this, or go to the next house that looks easier or more promising. They won't even notice your custom smart lock solution and think it might be hackable (unless it's a common brand with a generic explain available, think of scriptkiddy hacking skill requirement). They will go for the easiest thing, like a open window, or break a small window to open the door from the inside.

Now if you have a dedicated thief that wants to rob you specifically, they might want to invest into hacking your lock. But only if the rest of your house is already a fortress, or covertness is really key. But if they really want something they might just take an axe to your door and threaten you to open your vault.
I'm not sure why this is controversial. Trademark owners must defend their trademarks to show that they're in active use, otherwise the trademark might be lost. You're not prevented from making a cheese that's in a similar style, you just can't refer to it in a way that's confusingly simillar to a trademarked name.
Probably because nobody submitted a suggestion and design, yet.

I think both would have good chances to be included. See this article about someone who got "his" favorite missing symbol added to emojis. The process seemed rather sensible and feasible.

This is a really interesting view.

If someone has broken into my home, I have much bigger problems than if they've managed to break into my wifi or VPN gateway from the internet.
No worries. I suspect people thought the same about Grease Pencil, but that (for me at least) was what got me to really start using Blender. :)
GCL is the thing I was looking forward to never seeing when I left Google. Now, GCL is one of the things I actually miss.

Pretty much all other "configure things that are at least moderately complex" are actually bad enough that it makes GCL/BCL look like a really good idea.
"Funner Zooming" being the biggest most-emphasised bit of text would normally make me click away immediately, but since this is HN, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. But then I kept looking and still had no idea what it was. Turns out, it's a macOS app for adding live effects to your camera. Why is that not on the front page and above the fold???
>Yeah, the guy is living in some alternate reality.

How so?

I'm following tech news and it feels like there's always news about AMD releasing new stuff or Intel trying to catch up

I bought my 8 cores CPU for +-125$ of _my_currency_ year ago which was unbelievable like 3? years ago. Meanwhile I'm still far behind of what's on the edge.

Also nowadays I can spend like 60$ of _my_currency to get insanely fast NVMe M2 disks, so things are cheap nowadays I guess.
Unionisation and collective bargaining does achieve progress, as does regulation. Minimum wages are a great example of the latter. I'm not quite sure what is driving your passivity here.
Some SERIOUS questions as this app looks like it is a commercial app created to earn money by playing tracks of the legendary musicians WITHOUT TAKING THEIR PERMISSION violating the legal, moral and ethical values.

1. Idea for this app is stolen from 8 prahar concert

2. Why we have to pay money when the SAME classical music is available freely on YouTube and other platforms? Just bcuz is playing under the app.

3. Is legal permission taken from the musicians or their heirs to play their tracks as many musicians are no more.

4. Are they honestly giving any money back to musicians by playing tracks as a profit share. Pls make the info abt "no. of paid users and % money paid to musicians" public.

5. India being a country of 1300 million people, only 5000+ has downloaded the app means Indians have totally rejected this app.

6. Why non of musicians is promoting this app? something is drastically wrong with this app.

7. Due to corona, music industry & musicians all over the world are promoting their music thr their own channels hence apps like this are not required.

Just like climbing a tree, the best way down is usually the inverse of the way you got up.

If you added a version pin by adding a file... then remove the version pin by removing the file.
I recall from some HN story that "tape out" is an even older term, referring to the practice of putting black line tape on the (much magnified) artwork for the photomask. Wikipedia seems to confirm this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape-out#History.
> We’re so spoiled today. Every week a newer, faster processor is released. Hardware gets cheaper and we can just throw more chips at the problem.

That was until 2010, now we've hit the wall with pure single threaded speed and parallel programming is much harder to scale.

When you get a faster CPU your software doesn't need to change, but when you want it to run on more cores or machines it becomes a nuanced discussion depending on the algorithm, memory access pattern and networking.

We've come full circle and now we need to focus on the software again, to further improve performance.
I had one that asked for pedestrian crossings. Now, I've visited enough places to know that they change a lot, and that usually when you're there with context you can spot them. But from a weirdly angled photo I can't tell if that sequence of short white stripes is a crossing or some type of intersection marker like it could be in some places.

When I decided it looked too narrow to be a crossing, the captcha wouldn't let me through until I agreed that it in fact was a crossing.
I use my computer mostly in the desktop mode with external screen, so I don't really care about screen quality, but I need certain mobility and I don't want mini.

I think the multitasking was actually preemptive. But yes, it had no memory protection: the message passing infrastructure relied on it and it would have been very hard to retrofit even on cpus with an MMU (although I think recent versions might have actually tried).
The statement is not wrong! If GCP/Ature have the same reliability like AWS they will be more reliable than them as there will be no random restarts because of a planned migration of your vm.
Don't be fooled by lines like that though. Usually this is a result of countless hours of hard earned experience that they can draw upon to produce something in a short period of time.
Monica, for those of us trying to make up our minds about whether this is just more hot air or you are actually on to something of value, do you have a short list of say the top 10 topics that those workshops/sessions are about?

I don't want to be rude. We just get so much of this stuff somebody promoting something about talking about building something that helps people build something to talk about promoting stuff. That's so many nested meta levels that I'm as a dev calling BS after about 2 of them and go away.

Unfortunately I read your blog post as something similar. It was about how you funnel people into some community that helps others polish their writings so they get more reach. That's 3 levels right there.

Here is you chance to show that the chain ends after those 3 levels and there is actual non-meta content waiting at the end of that chain.
The crosswalks Captcha provides the most difficult cultural discrepancy for me. Some US crosswalks look like European "forbidden for all traffic" road markings. Pretty much the opposite of a crosswalk. I always have to do a double take on those.
What the hell is a chimney
Okay, I have to admit that I misunderstood you product, and my original comment was unnecessarily harsh.

If the content stays in the original apps I would highlight that on the landing page, as that's not really obvious (at least to me), and goes counter to how most apps operate.

What about the study progress? To a lot of SRS people study progress is almost as precious as the cards themselves.
Zebra crossing, mate.

That sounds like 90% of all companies I know, simply based on the fact they all use teams :/
That's a lot of terrible, dangerous, potentially life threatening advice.

My point is that, as an optimizer, evolution is a very simplistic one. People try to explain why it does or doesn't do things, often falling into "just-so stories" as a result, and fail to grasp just how inhuman the process is.

Also:

> ie., evolution is starting with a bike and turning it into a car

> it is not "starting with raw materials" and shaping them

I'm not sure if you're drawing a distinction between evolution and abiogenesis here. You're right, in that technically evolution doesn't come into play until you have self-replicators of some form, but in colloquial terminology "evolution" is used to encompass the entire process all the way back to whatever nonliving organic chemicals formed the basis for the first life.

google "CADT jwz". For various reasons it can't be linked from HN.
Considering that Air doesn't throttle without a fan - I'm hoping they cram a beefier chip into 13 inch - I don't mind reasonable fan level kicking in when doing heavy duty work - not the insane level of my current MBP, but from what I saw the new M1 MBP practically doesn't turn the fan on - seems like there's headroom for more power there.
Would love to see the actual CCSDS data frames, and check whether they are using PUS data packets or some other esoteric format :)
Every time there's a huge media article about a newly discovered tracking mechanism in Windows 10, you can immediately see the posts of newcomer questions in Linux specific areas.

A lot of people seem to have switched to Ubuntu or Arch due to Windows 10 tracking. And these are also non-technical people that have no idea what they are doing, which is kinda awesome.

I always love when using Linux gets a bit easier to use as a Desktop for the wider audience.
If you read the article the author mentions that it doesnt work at all,

Minimum wages are the very textbook definition of protecting some workers at the expense of other workers, are they not? They don't solve the underlying problem.

And I don't know where you come up with the notion of passive, I'm just stating an observation.
And in India, they are commonly refereed to as "Zebra Crossing". No one refers to them as cross-walks and most have no idea about that term.
Hear hear. Thanks dang, you set the gold standard for moderation. Or, if you prefer, you set a high bar for moderation. To mix metaphors painfully, you set a gold bar. Which just goes to show how valuable good moderation is.

I recommend reading about the cybernetic concept of viable systems[1], and in particular the Viable Systems Model of organizations (VSM); [2] Cybernetics is the science of self-regulation as reaction to changes in the environment.

The VSM theory poses that, for any complex system to become sustainable, it needs to adapt to changes in the environment that would tear it apart. Enduring organizations are structured as a loose fractal hierarchy, where a core "policy-making" subsystem decides what is the defining essence of the organization. Other types of subsystems would distribute the signals and process, them to get work done towards what constitute 'progress' and 'change' in the system.

This core sends regulatory signals to the other subsystems to react and adapt against environment external signals, to keep the whole system alive and working efficiently. The strength and variety of the external and internal signals between subsystems could be measurable, defining a model to predict what complexity must possess the organization to deal with its environment and what signal strengths may break it. Thus the whole organization may change greatly and evolve as reaction to changes in the environment, but the core subsystem will decide what parts of the organization must remain constant to keep its essence intact.

According to this model, a leaderless organization would not need to have a single person in a leadership role, but would still need to have this core to define its essential characteristics; otherwise it couldn't work as a coherent organization working towards well-defined goals, but a loose movement pulling in all directions at once.

Edit: elucidate the main points.

What bothers me is that this system probably works at M$, which means their managers are probably using it to monitor their staff, using their inhouse tools. That probably has a good ROI since finding issues with their products is helpful.

However, for another company this metric is just a value of how well locked into the M$ stack they are. If it were my company, heavy users would be penalised as there are other, better, less expensive products to use. Sitting in Teams talking to people is not a good score. Firstly you're wasting 512MB of that company laptop on a single web page, secondly it is a slow communication tool and thirdly, if you were talking in IRC then the conversation would be logged for others to grep and find answers to similar issues.

Scoring high with M$ Word would also be a negative thing in my view, that shows that you're using a tool that locks the company into an upgrade cycle for future M$ Word versions. Did you not think to use Libre Office or perhaps MD?

Scoring high in Outlook is also negative, that's another tool that can't store .msg files in open way. Every time a .msg file is attached to something and exchanged, via another tool then the receiver needs something that can disassemble the .msg into a readable form.
Lol, that's kind of true. They've been producing basically a _slightly_ inferior, cheaper knock-off version of Parmigiano-Reggiano for centuries and nobody ever complained; at least they always steered clear from associating themselves with the "Parmesan" brand because like many knock-offs they basically achieve what is arguably a less prestigious and blander product by having laxer quality standards.

For instance, Parmigiano-Reggiano can only be made by cows eating certain kinds of grass, which should be dried and not fermented. Farmers grow their own alfalfa, which is then turned into bales and stored away for the winter months; this is a taxing and expensive process, but avoiding fermented, cheeper feeds (like maize trimmings) makes the milk more shelf stable, with less unwanted bacteria, which then reflects into a cheese less prone to spoiling or tasting off.

The insistence of Grana Padano (which is mostly made on an industrial scale, compared with the smaller, cooperative dairies in the Parmigiano-Reggiano area) to allow farmers to use lower-quality feed stored in silos forces them to allow preservatives like Lysozyme in their formulation, because their milk gets inevitably contaminated by the Clostridium bacteria from the fermented feed they give to their cows.

Before anyone complains, I might be a bit biased towards Parmigiano-Reggiano because I was born and raised in the area it is produced, so I ate a lot of it in every form, shape and size, but I think every cheese connoisseur knows that there's definitely a taste and quality difference between the two; I like Grana Padano overall, but even when long aged it's definitely not as deep, flavourful and complex as an equivalent wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano. It's simply not the same.
It's not a trademark, it's a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Similar but not the same and I'm not aware of an area being required to exercise their PDO to keep it.
Personally, I think changes like this are good and necessary to educate users on exactly what's happening to their data.

Eventually we'll hit a critical mass; I am already thinking about how to (I love snails) confuse AI, pollute it with bad data and make it absolutely useless.

Maybe I'll send emails (hello to the AI!) that make no sense, tag random people and make the analytics as useless as possible.

We should all be uploading a few TB of random junk to Google photos, sending 1000's of pointless emails to random people and storing as much useless data as physically possible that they won't know whether to keep or purge.

At least if they're paying to store my 1PB of absolutely pointless data that they can't do anything with it'll make them think about whether it's worth the cost.
If you can drill down to identifiable users. Then I have a hard time seeing how this is not a blatant GDPR violation. The biggest GDPR fine so far has been over workplace monitoring. So brave of Microsoft to roll out something like this, this might end up being a costly move on their part.
