hackers are more interested in SciFi than sport, shouldn't really come as a surprise. As a non American, no idea who both were.

edit: but James Gunn look more interesting to me I would say. Also Kobe Bryant was apparently major news in the US, and this site is more about alternative, more obscure or specific news. Authors don't get celebrated enough compared to sport celebrities in my opinion

And that's a good thing, because if they lived as long as we do and worked out how to get along with each other they'd be running the planet, and most likely farming us for food.

They're really terrifyingly smart.
I know what you're saying, but the question is interesting, perhaps poorly phrased, but interesting. And complaining about HN not being the right forum where to question seems something that I could read on reddit, not on here.
I'd argue that most people aren't anti-capitalist either. Capitalism is mostly about individual property rights and the implications that fall out of it.

Most people who are critical of capitalism are conflating capitalism and corporatism. The essence of capitalism is hard to argue against without rejecting individual rights or currency or something similarly non-controversial and ingrained in society.
My current pain point is knowing what video editor to use.

There are many competitors, and most have at least some form of a free version[1]. My pain in DaVinci is different than in Blender, and for all I know, everything could be solved if I ever spent enough time in either.

You've come up with another to add to the mix, and I appreciate that you want to fix pain points and make something good. But please explain what is different about your offering that made you decide to start to build it - why it is different!

(Unless you just built it to learn how to build it, and there is nothing differentiating your program. In which case I have a world of respect for you, but that's quite a bite of pie you took.)

Brilliant.
> you don't need to include packages for strings, refcounting, allocation, etc.

Oh, but you do!

These are in std::str, std::rc, and std::alloc, respectively. You're absolutely able to choose not to include these packages, with #![no_std]. That's how rust is able to target platforms like 8-bit microcontrollers with 16kbytes of RAM.

You've made that point much better than me. As someone who teached myself coding in a department store as a kid in 80 or 81 and learned 20+ languages in the last 40 years on my own, I exactly agree with your point about autodidacts.

I'm interested in a many different things, as you I have read about RocksDB before but my time is limited between my family, hobbies and work.
JPEG? Please tell me you're not forced to use lossy raster graphics for vector art? A PNG render of at least the resolution of your largest screen should be fine.
Also don’t forget the supply side: Can you open a healthcare service? Hospital? Medicine factory? If you actually have the required knowledge, how fast can you get the certifications to work as a healthcare provider?

What to Do If You Feel Behind on Your Finances
Once you are eligible for citizenship (which can take a long time) You must
1. take an appointment to have your document checked (waiting time 1 year)
2. take an appointment to submit the actual application (1 year)
3. wait for the result, 1 1/2 year.

So by the time you are eligible, it can take 3-4 years before you know the outcome of your application. These 3-4 years don't serve any obvious purpose that I can think of.
A lot of this could be solved by more clever formats. The printer icon, for example, just needs the lines to not be scaled or, in other words, be treated as lines, not areas. A lot of this stuff is extremely well known in the realm of typography and graphic designers would do well to learn from it.

"Intellectual diversity" of course as always being a code word for acceptance for racism, sexism and antisemitism, etc. in society, cloaked in progressive language. In that sense, yes, the "diversity" has decreased and I hope this continues for many years to come.
Completely agree. I would be interested in a modern, advanced user GUI trend - like most of the modern UIs optimize for discoverability and for a sufficiently complex use case (like photoshop, video/music editing software) where learning the UI is a must, most programs would need a feature-packed, hotkey/gesture-rich one.
How do you figure that?

Shifting my head and eyeballs back and forth is way slower, for me, than an instantaneous Super+1, Super+2, etc. or Super+Tab (for switching to the last used workspace) to see a "second" monitor.
Hi.

I am a possible user for you. I have a startup and I expect very diverse bunch of people to work with me.

As a company we would like to get critical and important information to flow between various stake holders. The stake holders (developers, managers and others) can choose their tools and workflows to deal with the info flow. Whatever suits them...

For example: project plan, timelines, notes/ references, emails/messages, etc. As far as users can access these without fail, and interact to modify them as and when required, I would welcome the freedom for stakeholders to deal with the info the way s/he wants.

I see potential trouble with

1. inter-operability of various tools: notes taken in Notion, vs. Evernote, for example.

2. speed of work: Can web apps help? How do we merge these things for mobiles?

3. Safety of data: we cannot leak information.

Perhaps, to start with, you may want to give a limited freedom for users' workflows. With time more elements can be added.

Cheers!
>Can we really do inertial reference with current phone hardware?

Yes, check the specs for any recent (past 3 years) qualcomm chipset, initia sensors will be included. You can play around with this sensor (and others) using the Phyphox app for ios and android.
Thank you. The font mentioned in the article doesn't support Spanish characters, so it's useless to me.
I didn't take one until my physician casually asked if I were, when I said "No." he told me to start. I did. It aligned with my inclination since it was inexpensive, almost assuredly would do no harm, and might do some good. Now you've given me a concrete reason to continue taking a multivitamin. Thanks.
The US was also posturing about actual cyberwarfare during the Gulf war. Not the brightest move since it probably helped focus foreign interest in a field where one can never buy total superiority.

As someone with a previous career in the UK construction industry, sad to say that none of these 11 things are much of a revelation.

What needs to be done, without any unnecessary delay, is for the management of the companies and authorities involved to be put on trial for corporate manslaughter.

See https://file.pizza for a similar file sharing service, but over BitTorrent over WebRTC (not sure if it requires a relay TURN server when peers are behind symmetric NAT) [1][2].

Oldest trick in the book: use current terminology to repackage your message of division, discord. There's always enough fools who don't notice.
I’m currently working on an FUI for a short film with those sorts of principles in mind - a more “realistic” interpretation of what you might call “every day software” (in this case it’s for a call center of sorts).

There’s a sci-fi element but very much grounded in current day technologies so it’s the furthest thing away from the typical Marvel FUI.

One of the hardest challenges is making the UI “read” in film - that is getting the point of the action across while trying to remain truthful to some sort of sense of functionality. Oh, and also making it look interesting and/or feel original :)

Here’s an unused direction for that “call center” UI based on NeXT/Win95- I’ve actually since shifted to something quite different (more of a backend web app feel from the mid 2000s I’d say) for the final look but still thought it’d be fun to share this initial glimpse:

Obituary: Edmund M. Clarke
The title should be "Opinionated Tips that work for My Life"

I'd say half of these are flat out wrong to me, with the other half sounding pretty good. I suspect other people would react differently to each individual point. But the larger point is that no single person's life is the same as another's - lists like this are anecdotes of what worked for one person, and should be read as such.

I'm not convinced we even turned it into science. I think we turned it into a pseudo-science of confirmation biases, poor contextual understanding and even distain for our own users while actively devaluing the role that design plays in interaction.

I've been running mostly on the power saving CPU scheduler because on any others, k10temp reports that my CPU idles around 1.44V - Nice to know that it was (probably) just a display bug.
> The communists won World War II, and imposed an ideological purge of unprecedented savagery, universality, and thoroughness ... Liberal democratic cosmopolitanism didn’t win any arguments; it won a war, and got to impose itself by force.

That feeling when you’re so het up about the Modern World you conflate communism and “liberal democratic cosmopolitanism” as “tHE lEFt”.

The true travesty in intellectual diversity is the American right wing abandoning any semblance of intelligent debate. Cue Shapiro calling Andrew Neil a leftist, or almost anything written by Jordan Peterson.
This is generally true but I'd also caution that it's a pretty big third rail topic -- for lack of better example, akin to asking your German colleagues if they think Holocaust actually happened or not -- the problem being that you're generally not likely to get a straight answer even if they were sympathetic due to fear of reprisal if a non standard answer were to be discovered out by unsympathetic peers.
Why are HUDs usually green instead of red?
You're looking at it from the wrong point of view.

France's colonies were, unlike Britian treated as part of france. That meant all of these areas in blue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonial_empire#/media/... are french, with the entire population being french citizens.

So this means that someone who is algerian could have french parents, but not be eligible for french citizenship. However if I as an EU citizen wanted to live in france, there is nothing stopping me.

In the same way that up to the 70s an english "colonial" had the right to a british passport. Until it was decided that it wasn't acceptable to have too many "colonials" about the place.
Browsers do a crappy job in general for any CA usecase that isn't https on public websites. Guidelines for the WebPKI are, of course, very web-centric. E.g. short lifetimes may be acceptable there. Automated frequent reissuance may be an option. But if you e.g. look at email and auth certs, possibly stored on a smartcard, things are quite different. Lifetime should be long and can be long, because the key is used rarely (compared to webservers) and maybe stored in dedicated smartcards. Verification is another thing thats totally different for an email address or a person's name.
SEL4 would be a better choice because it is formally verified, there is a much smaller chance of vulnerabilities in SEL4 vs Xen because of this.
>A lot of people watch it with no background knowledge and subsequently don’t quite understand the “best film ever” label, but Citizen Kane is indeed a fantastic film. Just read about Orson Welles first.

Interesting. About 10 years ago I was tired of modern cinema and completely stopped watching new films. After some pause I decided to start watching classic cinema from 1930 onward in more or less chronological order (in the last year i've stopped at ~1800 movies, up to 1995).

In general, the quality of 1932-1942 american cinema (and, to a lesser degree, 1945-1950) far exceeded my expectations. And, while Citizen Kane is a very good film and deserves to be seen (it was actually one of the few "critically acclaimed" classic films that I've actually enjoyed), but when seen in context of what was filmed at the time, Citizen Kane doesn't really stand out among its contemporaries that much. A lot of technical details (but not all) that are praised by modern critics were more or less a common thing back at the time. I'd argue that Kane wasn't even the best film of the 1941 year (Sullivan's Travel was better and H.M. Pulham, Esq its equal) and definitely not the best film of the 1930-1950 "golden age" that ended at a very high point with Sunset Blvd. before plunging into the abyss in 1950s.

That's all of course only my opinion.

On a related note, if you enjoyed Citizen Kane, I'd highly recommend to see a soviet film from 1962 Nine Days in One Year. One of the most visually stunning b/w films in my experience. Thematically different, but stylistically very similar.
I find there is a lot of intellectual diversity today than 20 years ago, American intellectual imperialism is slowly - but surely - crumbling down. There is no Washington consensus anymore. But nothing has surged to replace it, yet. We are in a transition phase that it can go on for centuries. Our "observatory" over history and society is as tiny as our observatories to discover the universe.
Isn't that natural? The cone of possibilities is large when we know nothing. As we become more knowledgeable, we eliminate hypotheses. So, for instance, while you might have believed all sorts of nonsense about the size of people's heads and whatnot a hundred years ago, you no longer can.

Hell, a thousand years ago, maybe you could have hypothesized the existence of dragons. No, the space of hypotheses is massive, and we keep cutting into it, making small enclaves of things that resist falsification.

This necessarily reduces diversity. I'd be a fool today to believe in miasma theory.
I know exactly what you are talking about. It took me months to develop a proper sleeping pattern that doesnt depend on alarms. IMO thats something you need to learn, especially when you never were used to it.
So you want to populate your virtual environment before you run the unit tests, right?

The command to do so is trivial, but when do you need to actually execute it?

Normal make targets have prerequisites and outcomes (I think they are called goals). These must be files and make works by comparing their modification timestamps to see if a recipe has to be (re-)executed.

Now what is the prerequisite for your virtual environment?

What is the output? venv/bin/python ? What if you need to pip install some stuff (maybe only for testing)? What happens when the installation of a single package fails?

I think having a script (or a phony target for people with strange tastes ;) ) makes at least clear that there is no half-assed dependency tracking ongoing.

I think one way to figure this out would be to have a test script that runs inside the venv and outputs some kind of checksum.

Given that 16% of the sample (from relocate.me) is from India, and Indians have virtually no path to PR in the US, I'm guessing residency.

Europe (at least the technocratic level) has been pro immigration for a while, so network effects probably also enter the equation.

Yeah it's pretty OK, it's actually one of the least polished areas of the IDE, I'm amazed no one has devoted serious resources to a tool that can properly reverse engineer a schema and infer relationships giving you a list of "I think X and Y are related, are they?" questions to solve it.

I've inherited so many "interesting" schema's over the years and it feels like archaeology understanding the creators intent.

A decrease in intellectual diversity is a natural consiquence of faster communication and wider availability of information. 30 years ago, it was much easier to live your life without much contact to opposing viewpoints. Now if you voice your opinion online, it can be challenged instantly by people from all different backgrounds all across the globe. Of course the result of that is that more controversial viewpoints face more resistance than they did in the past.

However I do think it's worth thinking about how the structure of online communication affects idea formation and the perception of consensus. The gamification and quantization of social interactions which exists on social media platforms does have an effect on which types of ideas are mainstreamed, and which ones are marginalized, and I think it can be argued that this has not always been for the better.
Dubious DMCA takedown in 5... 4... 3... 2...
US architecture - in fact the more corporate end of modernist architecture in general - has very literal and obvious links to fascism.

https://architecturehereandthere.com/2016/04/21/fascism-mode...

The monumentalism of city centres in the US - especially DC - is not an accident.

This is obvious when you consider what non-fascist architecture would look like: human scale, communitarian, diverse, accessible, quirky and humorous, colourful, ecologically integrated.

Generally the opposite of massive concrete statement buildings and monuments which intimidate, bully, and exclude.
> Additionally, remember that most independent recruiters work on some form of commission. It's in their best interest to get you more money because then they also get more money.

Yep i'm 100% ok with the world shifting left from literal nazi germany. Left of nazi germany is still pretty far to the right.
This is a tour de force of colour theory, and should be mandatory reading for anyone serious about computer colour!

Björn Ottosson not only did some mighty fine work, producing a simple equation that produces smooth colour gradients, but he "showed his work" too. Instead of just journal references, he littered this page with incredibly useful hyperlinks to difficult to find things such as the raw data for the Munsell colour chart and the Luo-Rigg data!

This should also be mandatory reading for people not so serious about computer colour, because heads up: If you do any kind of arithmetic on RGB bytes, you've screwed up much more than you think you have! It's one of the most common examples of the Dunning–Kruger effect.

Need a nice gradient of colours to represent something graphically, such as low-medium-high values? Go to this page first.

"If you eliminate all hassle, you could just as much pay people to live instead of you."

In general (90% of the time) I've found paying someone to do something merely alters the hassle. Now I have to deal through someone to get the desired result. And I'm paying for the privilege (increments hassle). There are very few times I've been able to pay money, state the desired result, and remain hands off.
