Q: Where can find a programmer who can get free software
I have an idea is that I have the way to sell the sofeware on the internet, but I need a help who can get the free software, like YouTube Premium (LIFETIME) for Android, Office 2016/2019 Lifetime, 3 MONTH AMAZON PRIME VIDEO PERSONAL ACCOUNT. Please contact if any guy can do this. I would like to share the profit with you.

I definitely see how that workflow works better in your setup, but... That doesn't apply to everyone? Not everyone works somewhere where they have an independent designer that can and will change the actual SASS, whereas others might even have designers that a perfectly comfortable rummaging around in e.g. JSX or Vue components. The indirection of a separate SASS file might not be worth it in those cases.

All of which is to say: just because it's not the best solution in your use case, that doesn't mean it doesn't solve actual problems for others in production.
Jesus you can have more than one word in the name of a piece of software. At least call it "Hieroglyph Reader" or something. Can't tell what it does by the name and there's a namespace conflict.

The arrogance in this response is palpable.

Humans managed to create a means to communicate with each other. End of evolution right there. We figured out germ theory and then vaccines. The DEATH of human evolution. We have the Internet now so that must mean human evolution just stops, because integrated circuits or something.

We look back on proto-humans, who had many tools, with the same arrogance. There’s no reason our species won’t evolve further to look back on the “internet” and laugh.

Timescales, huh.
There’s also a tendency for scientists to be Marxists, since dialectical materialism is the philosophy of all science in general.
Google is investing in coming up with smaller models aswell i.e "TensorFlow Lite". I think it is unjustified of her to condemn approaches at this stage, all research starts humble and almost always inefficient. People were doing Resnet-50 not so long ago and then processes improved. People came up with better configs with lesser layers YOLO for instance. So big models in and off itself isnt a problem. I dont see this as a good enough reason to resign.

Also look at Siegfried's attire in the 1924 "Ring der Nibelungen" movie, classic "barbarian in bear skin" style (and I think this goes back further to the romanticization of the Germanic tribes as "noble savages" in the 19th century).

Sure but they didn't have Jaime Lannister dressed as scantily as the Dothraki. Clearly the show is relying on the trope of barbarians which does not care about fancy clothes as a justification for the fan service.
Yes, I know about the unit circle.

But that's just a way to embed some of group theory. It doesn't actually help you much.

(It's similar to how you can use eg set theory to construct the integers. It's possible, but doesn't actually help you prove anything about interesting about integers that you wouldn't have been able to prove without embedding them like this.)

> I mean, deriving it all is hard because group theory is hard. I'm not sure if its because the tools "aren't there". Some super-AI or super-human probably can derive it all from those given facts.

Yes, but that task wouldn't be made easier by this approach compared to starting from just the group theory axioms instead.
That would be a grammar checker though. And there are many solutions available today to do that. Even open source solutions. Grammarly would be one example, language tool another.

The ones I looked at work by encoding common spelling mistakes into a grammar (as in Chomsky grammar) and then running that over the text.

No? It's one factor among many. It's probably more telling on the belief system of people that do think everyone else thinks that way.
Absolutely agreed, the customer's data is paramount, and I think from the perspective of supporting that with their well established in-house expertise, it makes sense.

However, XFS isn't perfect. As I wrote in a separate reply in this thread, my team in a previous position suffered catastrophic dataloss when a power cut took out some massive storage arrays. XFS does not handle power loss gracefully, and in two cases, the whole storage array was unrecoverable and required restoring from tape.

I use ZFS on FreeBSD (and Linux) too, and while it dates back to 2006 and was designed around ~2000, LVM and XFS date back at least a decade prior to that. They are a generation apart, and ZFS builds upon the knowledge of that previous generation, and its successes and its flaws.

Regarding competitive stuff, that's a mystery to me as well. My organisation went with some proprietary IBM storage array kit, but it was a real pain. Required hand compiling kernel modules against the RHEL kernel. And it still resulted in the above dataloss issues.

I am still mad that all display vendors went 16:9. The black bars are fine when watching movies if you mostly use the display for productive work, whereas 4:3->16:9 was a shitty transition for someone like me working mostly with text and written music. It was as if the world had decided that the use case for computer screens was something else than what I was using them for. Although I do costume some video content on my computer today, I would switch to a high-res 4:3 display instantly.

A 27" 4000x3000 display would be a dream come true.
She sends for approval 1 day before the conference deadline, proceeds to submit the paper with conditional approval, and waits for the actual approvals. It is common practice with one side effect: if reviewers don't like certain parts of the paper, they can ask you to withdraw it (since you don't have an option to update the paper at this stage). If the paper was submitted for approval before submitting to the conference though, then they would have some room for back-and-forth engagement with updates on the paper.
> However, for most people, using Rust for these purposes is absolutely not recommended.

Who are these "most people"? Can you get more specific here?

> Java/Kotlin paired with reactive streams makes these tasks super easy to read, once you get the hang of reactive streams. Also there are complexities in there, you just simply can't brush all the intricacies of network programming and multi-threading under the rug, but at least you are dealing only with the complexities that are necessary for your problem.

The text goes pretty much into detail. I do not understand where Rusts streams are more complicated than the Java/Kotlin/Scala ones? Did you
ever write an application with reactive streams and got problems with the thread pool, people unknowingly blocking in combinators, etc..?
I'd dare to say that these things also add complexity that is not necessary to the kind of problems you defined as "99% of ..."

> With Rust you are dealing with tons of additional complexity that doesn't matter to 99% of people & problems.

Where did you get that number from? What are "tons of additional complexity"?

> I just find it very alienating when people compare this to Python and do everyday tasks with it.

Maybe you just have not yet recognized that you can do everyday tasks with it?

Indeed, correlation between measures and outcomes is all over the place. We (Lithuania) are in the second lockdown since Nov 7th, masks are mandatory even outside, pubs/restaurants/cafes/gyms etc. are closed, all events canceled, there is restriction how many people can meet: used to be up to five, now only two — and we are still hitting our record numbers of cases. Slovenia had even public transport and schools closed, cases still climbing.

Thanks for getting so numbers.

But why do you agree with the comment saying real GDP per capita in Africa hasn't increased in the same sentence that you say it has increased (by 1.1% annually)?

(Though a slight wrinkle is that your sentence talks about GDP and the original comment was about wealth.)

And I know that 1.1% isn't great. But it's bigger than zero. And compared to humanities historical average before the industrial revolution of basically 0%, 1.1% is enormous.

The much vaunted industrial revolution had Britain at not more than 1.25%. Boring by today's standards, but absolutely game changing compared to what came before.
I'd say this is a consequence of making our phones opaque rather than HTTPS-everywhere. Setting a HTTPS-connect proxy (I use Zap) is a 2 minute process on a desktop that lets you strip SSL easily.

Doing the same on our mobile devices is much more tougher, because we've let feature phones become walled gardens.

Maybe. I don't know enough about CPU design to argue with that. There are others elsewhere in this thread saying that a lot of the energy and heat goes on the communications systems and other resources you need more of when you ramp up the core count.

I suspect we'll never know. Apple have shown little interest in anything other than prosumer workloads for a long time. I doubt they'll be making an M1 server platform anytime soon.

But that argument completely ignores the consequences to prices less than average.

If you drop your fees so low your customers get pissed, well then, you'll loose customers. Or if you can't afford to maintain infrastructure, then you'll lose customers due to your unreliability.

A race to the bottom is the reason we have 60" flat screen TVs that are better quality and cost a fraction of what a similar TV cost 10 years ago. It's a good thing.

The race to the bottom in the airline industry was entirely driven by consumers who were willing to put up with crappy seat just to save $10. They got exactly what they wanted.

That said, we are seeing a shift toward premium economy. Basically some airline said "I'll bet there are some customers will to pay more to get more" and they were right.

HN likes to talk about the "race to the bottom" as some failing of capitalism, when it's actually working exactly as it should. "The market" doesn't get it right every time - plenty of companies make the wrong trade off - but the consumer is the ultimate decision maker if the tradeoff is worth it.
One could argue that the designers had it easier back then. A floppy is a pretty tangible thing. How would you symbolize saving today when almost no saves go to removable media anymore and the removable media that we still have come in all shapes and sizes? Saving something has become pretty abstract.

You used to have to take a large detour to get to Klaksvík - which is the second largest town - from Tórshavn (the capital). By taking the tunnel, you shave off 27 minutes.

Travel time to almost all of the north-eastern islands, and the towns on these islands, has been cut down by half an hour.

It is also safer. They also argue that it is cheaper, but I don't know about that.

Ignoring industry, that's just quality of life.

But consider a car accident; the ambulances have to get there in a hurry. Minutes might save lives here.
it is sort of a placeholder approval. The actual reviews may be done by a legal team, HR/PR, other researchers in the field etc.
Right now I have an HP Spectre laptop that I'm running Linux on. It's showing its age as my daily-driver for work (only like 4 years old). It can manage to pump out the 3440x1440p60 signal over USB-C thunderbolt that I need, but just turning on youtube or a video call makes it slow to a crawl, it can barely keep up.

I've been eyeing an upgrade to a Dell XPS because it ticks pretty much all the boxes for me, but it's Intel. I'd much rather go AMD, but thunderbolt support is a huuuge plus for me because I have a Dell monitor with USB-C that acts like a KVM. Button on the monitor to switch from my windows desktop to my linux laptop, swaps over all my USB devices at the same time, charges the laptop through the monitor; only one cable to do it all! It's AMAZING.

So I'm wondering what kind of support for Displayport over USB-C this System76 laptop will have. I realize I won't be able to do the whole "one cable to do everything" approach here (omg can we please standardize on USB 4 already so everything can do this? gah!) but if I went in this direction, how much would I need to do to plug in everything?
Sure. Engineers know how to handle materials that don't last forever.

Plastic suddenly rotting faster is mainly a concern because it would challenge previous assumptions.

Yeah, and ticket prices were 20 to 50% higher. Consumers had options and choose the lower price.

I remember not long ago when flying was a serious financial commitment. Flying economy from LA to NYC might set you back $600 in 2000 dollars ($900 today). Now you can find a ton of flights for under $400.

I don't want to go back to the way it was.
Everyone questioning this - if much rather a car have some idea what the things it can’t see might be. It doesn’t have to give as much weight to them as things it can see for certain. But this kind of predictive knowledge is what makes humans much better than AI in a lot of areas. It’s what we normally call ‘common sense’
An alternative without dedicated device (although I do redirect all traffic from wifi accesss point used for phone on router to another computer) and rather use it on device and analyze later:

It is indeed a large portion of good old fashioned planting-head-in-sand, and try to ignore expert opinion for as long as you can. However, assassinations are getting more brazen every year, entanglements with local government officials too, so the problem is getting harder and harder to accept. The NRC article with insights from the Italian anti-Mafia force gives a very chilling insight.

The problem isn't marijuana, the problem is the types that are sourcing it here for export, and the enormous scale of domestic synthetics production (of which also most is exported). You can't have expect to have normal friendly businessmen trade in drugs which are forbidden in the rest of the world.
I’m a hamburger fan on mobile. It allows you to shove away most of the ui which is what you want when there is limited space - especially on a site where you want to make an impact and not just fill the screen with a menu from the get go.
Right. But they have no problem filling those planes. Even when consumers have the option of flying a marginally better economy flight for $50 more, they reject it.
Sometimes I wonder how I would turn out if I did organized people stuff like this. What bothers me is these life advices always feel like bullshit. Like, check this guy out. He has his own website with a title "Den Zhadanov\nTechnology. Productivity. Inspiration.". This is life coaching 101. He writes about how burning man didn't change his life and has pictures of books on beaches. How does one take this person seriously? Can someone read this crap and think "Yeah, I find this guy to be honest and want to take his opinion seriously." I get that he's a Forbes 30 under 30 but personally it all smells way more like hustle than some profound knowledge.
It might just be the combination of better branch prediction, TSMC 5nm, 8-channel memory, 16k pages, along with 8-wide cores+larger structures especially cache are enough to account for the more perf/watt of the M1.
How? That quote comes from the person who was fired. She explained what she did because she's proud of it: she injected some code into a web page about unions and organising telling Googlers they had a right to organise.

The Google security team is frankly deeply worrying at this point, and I say that as someone who used to work there on security related topics (but consumer account security, not internal). A small number of them have privileged access to mandatory Chrome extensions that are used for various security objectives, yet they seem to have no qualms about abusing them to advance their own political agendas. Moreover they don't recognise that this is a problem.

Controlling Chrome extensions that can inject JS into arbitrary websites equals root at google.com because everything they do is admin'd via web UIs.

What if you're a law firm who advises companies faced with union action? Is it safe for you to use GSuite or whatever it's called today? My guess is no, because the people who ultimately control Google's IT infrastructure are (a) willing to break the most basic of IT security rules and then boast about it publicly, and (b) many of them are politically extreme by the standards of most of the world.

Most astoundingly of all, I don't believe this is the first time Google has fired people for injecting JS into websites using internal security mechanisms to advance political agendas. In any normal company there'd be a mile of controls, processes and guard dogs surrounding any mechanism that could do this by now as it's been abused before. Apparently Google Security do not have their act together on this.
> Instead of reading 100 books, it’s better to find one that really changes your life.

You can't know whether book will change your life or not until you read it. If you treat every book too seriously you just waste your time and kill the pleasure of reading.

Everyone should master skimming and their ability to regulate "depth of understanding" based on perceived value.

I don't have a smartphone. That alone will prevent browsing habits being picked up by parasitic apps etc on a phone. What I browse at home I have more control over with blocklists etc and disabling js.

I rarely carry my dumphone around, if someone needs me they can leave a message. That takes care of tracking by cell station.

There are times I'd like to have a dumphone on me, eg. when meeting people, so at some point I'll get dumphone #2 not linked to me.

If possible, pay cash rather than a credit card. I have done this before but in the uk this was getting more difficult and may not be possible, I don't know. There are always ways around that with grey areas.

At higher levels pressure your government or use the local regulations to push back when a company seems to be behaving unethically.

I'm sure there's more.

But convenience triumphs and all you can see is "I need smartphone". You won't do any of this. People who ask how will never do, or they wouldn't be asking the question to which the answer(s) are obvious.
Uh, yes? You'd be a fool to burn oil just as a source as CO2 and water.

I didn't say that's what you should do or that it makes sense.

Merely as an illustration that you can start with some toxic substances and feed them to plants, and be very happy eating those plants.

Of course, that doesn't apply to everything. Heavy metals stay bad for you.
Am I alone in thinking this reduces the essence of books as work instead of as leisure. Where you are more focused on extracting something of "value" out of it then to actually enjoy it. It doesn't have to be this reductionist and utilitarian.

Maybe that explains the rise in companies that will summarize long books in 15min, or the rise of the small single rotating idea books.

Long Answer : Design Patterns are useful only in an OO Setting, its utility is gone if you look at Functional Languages. In FP you would have to consider more fundamental things than trying to cosmetically map a classical model to a domain, and then write bunch of code to retrofit that model.

I worked on this for a while [1], it was quite satisfying to combine electronics, SW and music in single hobby project.

My looper had sort of git model with staging area and committed area. Both staging and committed loops were mixed down to output. You could re-record over staging area as many times as you wanted until you were satisfied, then you could mix it down to commited loop. It's like stack but only top-most loop is changeable. That model provided infinite loop overdubs, ability to undo mistake, and used only x2 memory.

Regarding your delay effect, I was quite fascinated by how analog delay pedals allowed live-changing of loop length and the resulting effect it would produce [2]. I researched into the bucket brigade IC, quite interesting stuff. I think in digital you'd have all kinds of nasty glitches if you tried to do it with simple pointer modifications.

If anything, the fact that George RR Martin and this vlogger obsess about fictional governance, while Tolkien was more interested in myth and language says a lot about the change in times and what media-makers feel they should contribute to.
