The single biggest common denominator between so many fantasy UIs, is transparent (HUD-style) interfaces. I was just watching the latest episode of The Expanse, last night, and saw them all using these transparent PDA/phones.

Ever try using a transparent UI? It's absolutely maddening.

Looks cool on the screen, but is pretty much unusable IRL.

No, you are not. And even if we are a minority, we should definitely abandon the macOS platform if our right to choice, ownership and control is deliberately denied to us on it just the sake of apple's profit margins.
Well that's just sad.
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to defend Apple for this particular stance without having to marry them.

This is the only advice that has ever helped me.

Technical interviewers are unoriginal and looked up and use the top google result on "programming questions for X", especially for niche roles that the company is now just hiring for.

Nowadays leetcode platforms can provide a more randomized set of problems for companies, but many many many teams and individuals will still just recycle.

I recycle answers, which is ironically closer to what I would be expected to do for the company on a day to day basis than an original answer to any academic problems.

Eh, not really. If you load the SVG directly (open a .svg file, or write inline SVG in your HTML), then yes, you can run JavaScript, but when it’s loaded as an image (<img src=example.svg>, or <link rel=icon href=example.svg>), JavaScript will not be executed.
yeah and I always wonder how life is when you are that old. I mean one of my grandmothers died before being 80, while my other grandmother is 91. the younger one needed help (alzheimer) and had a miserable life post 70. while the other is alive (has his problems, but still). I'm always baffeled why some people could be so well for an eternety and others start to have problems way earlier.

Show HN: A Free Resume Builder
Hey everyone, it's been a while!

A lot has happened since my launch on HN with Resoume.
But today I wanted to present you the little brother I named Resou — the lite but free version.

2020 was not a great year for many of us. To help where I can, I decided to create a free resume builder out of Resoume.

This is also a pilot project for me. I heard once that a free product could be a great way to generate new traffic. So I thought this might be a great way to find out. Two birds with one stone.

What do you think? Is this a workable way to give something of value? Will users bother testing Resoume? I appreciate your feedback.

Best wishes, Gobie

That really depends on the viewer’s adaptation state.

> So if users will view your rendered image surrounded by an rgb-white screen, if/when the resulting small red/yellow/green/white shift is problemaic, you might consider rendering using a non-standard 58K whitepoint. Just saw someone burned by this the other day, with a "supposed to be white with a localized tint" object (the Sun), which D65 then confused.

Isn’t that what the ICC’s relative rendering intent is supposed to take care of, if I understand what you mean?
Exactly!

It depends. In France, most of the terrorist attacks were committed and planned by radicalised first or second generation "immigrants"(or descendents thereof). They don't feel French, they don't feel like the origin of their parents/etc. so they pick religion.
This is an interesting one, because they optimize for an untypical goal: "If the scale/exposure of colors are changed, the perceptual coordinates should just be scaled by a factor"

For most computer vision applications, that is the opposite of what you want. When you analyze a video stream, it is quite common for frames to have different brightness due to things like aliasing between the flicker of LEDs in the room and the camera shutter. That's why CV needs a color space where colors remain close to each other, no matter the frame brightness.
shake is a Haskell Make-like build system. I found it useful for benchmarking C code over lots of different combinations of compilers and compiler options. The initial Make solution I came up with was unwieldy and bug-prone.

It was very easy to update code, add new compilers and compiler options without rerunning benchmarks for everything. Only for what was changed.

Yes. TripMode, which I use like an application firewall.

(Side note: to further deny us users our right of choice, ownership and control over our device, Apple has already crippled ALL application firewalls on its newest macOS to allow all Apple authorised software to BYPASS any such application firewalls, even if the user has explicitly blocked such software).

I heard recently that some radio station here had developed an app that they were promoting. One huge feature of the app was that it could send you a notification when your favourite song...

...was playing on the radio station, so that you could then turn on the radio and listen to it.

This was - unironically - the big thing they were using to try to get users to download their app. I can't even. This is so dumb.

Can we just kill radio already? Please?

Sure, but then continues on to decry the de-nazification of Germany and the shadowy "cosmopolitans" who imposed that by force and not the suppression of leftists by the US military, CIA and McCarthyism.

That's the trick, you just gotta put half a sentence about "both sides" into your article and then suddenly you're a centrist and your right wing drivel is now serious intellectual writing.
Emitting UTF-8 when the settings clearly say "no UTF" is a bug, no matter if a real VT220 is on the other end, or something else that doesn't understand unicode (which is still quite possible, even today). It's even a bug if unicode actually works on the other end (but in that case, nobody notices).
And when you think about it, having a different DNS root would bring into existence an entirely new internet universe.

> Title makes it sound as if a whole organized group of neonazis

Not a neo-nazi but there was also Giangiacomo Feltrinelli. From the wiki page [1]:

> Giangiacomo Feltrinelli (Italian: [dʒanˈdʒaːkomo feltriˈnɛlli]; 19 June 1926 – 14 March 1972) was an influential Italian publisher and businessman active following the Second World War. He founded a vast library of documents mainly in the history of international labor and socialist movements. He became a left-wing activist preceding Italy's Years of Lead.

> On 15 March 1972, Feltrinelli was found dead at the foot of the pylon of a high-voltage power-line at Segrate, near Milan, apparently killed by his own explosives while on an operation with other GAP members.[26] Some 8,000 people attended Feltrinelli's funeral.

The Feltrinelli bookstores are one of the first things I enter when I get to an Italian city.

Yes, that's another issue that luckily seems to have been fixed in the linked bugticket.

Still, using antique hardware for interfacing with modern systems is something that would surprise me if I found it used in the wild. I know that the standards are well-defined and that the software support is there - it just certainly isn't the norm.
Yah that part of how the FBI handles these situations has always made me really upset. The FBI's main task should be isolating an unstable kid from interacting with disturbing chat rooms and first see if the kid's mentality will fizzles out after some time away from it. Instead they basically nurture the messed up mentality of the kid and until they can go ahead with charging the kid while it likely could've been prevented if the messed up mentality wasn't nurtured.
For a long time that was my approach to LoB backoffice applications: make the backend clever enough that there is no need for non-trivial user interfaces (in the sense of being non-trivial to implement). That in part works well but on the other hand there are situations when the user knows more, uses the thing every day and thus making something something that looks like sci-fi UI (or like something straight out of mid-90's OS HIG, with the difference being mostly about color choice) makes sense.
On LinkedIn I saw a Master's Degree diploma in Comic Sans shown by a recent graduate. As it happens the University is local and I have colleagues that graduated from there so I had to ask one about it. He confirmed that his at least is in the more typical gothic-y serif style font.

I noticed a large decline in friendliness, and it was one of the reasons why I moved out of California; Chico to the SF Bay Area were basically the same. And, new mail people eventually wouldn't even acknowledge my presence.

It seems like most average people were struggling and near the boiling point of discontent.

Even worse, because so many people in the SF Bay Area are semi-temporary transplants, they are often in "vacation"-mode and don't care about the area or other people as much because they're uninvested.
So nice to see a Czech SF classic mentioned here :-)

IIRC, both D65 and D50 are sufficiently extreme as to prevent full chromatic adaptation. Viewers will be aware a scene is lit "cold" or "warm"ly.

Yes. Browser support used to be poor, but I've not been following it. Firefox seems to still require user config?[1] A perhaps outdated WP article[2] suggests chrome support of V4 is OS dependent? But yes, someday this will just work.

I'll wait for the affidavits in this case before commenting further, but the FBI has learned something in the last 60 years. The last set of affidavits I read was the reverse of O'Brien and Smith in 1984[1]: the FBI resources kept reminding the suspects they were supposedly from Hamas, and asked the suspects open-endedly what projects they could help with, rather than prompting specifically.

Do you have sources to back any part of this statement? It would be surprising to see US doing less and being worth that, for example, Germany and its coal or China and its industrial complex. Otherwise it seems to be another example of "blatantly false anti-US comments like this get voted up without any data to back them up".
FWIW, researchers I know use C++, Python, Linux and many open-source tools.
The detailed commentary on the noticeably androgynous physical and “mental” characteristics of the future males in a society that has decided the trisolaran issue doesn’t exist anymore and has fully accepted defeatism (through non natural means, but still).

IIRC, this society then attempts to pursue diplomacy only to get massacred before the archaic male heroically sets up a MAD situation.

The archaic male then controversially hands over control of the MAD response to a weak willed/nuance entertaining female, and the trisolarans immediately attack.

Apologies if I’ve mixed the timeline, it’s been a while and the human story draped over the skeleton of an interstellar war was a bit thin.

> People will just form a thousand LLCs or use straw men.

Given the overhead of forming, filing and paying for an LLC, that's probably a good disincentive.

For example in the UK there's an annual £13 filing fee, plus a £100 automatic fine if you miss your tax return by one day. Even returning a 'no tax' return takes about 20 mins of work. It's definitely not scalable to holding thousands of domains.
I also don't get the cult status. The setup in the first book is pretty engaging, the trisolarians are compelling antagonists, and i loved the power plays resulting from Dark Forest theory...

But the storytelling just falls flat in books 2 and 3, with the overlong story-within-a-story and the needless romance plot. The... relativistic stuff (lets call it that to avoid spoilers) at the end didn't do anything for me at all, and just felt tacked on to wrap up storylines i didnt care about in the first place.

Could have been 50% shorter imo.

The notice was actually given in early August, and the change took effect in October. We have extended trial to all that asked for it without problems. We did say in the update what happened.

The lowest paid plan has only limitations in tools for multi-admin, everything else is the same with lower quota obviously, but that is already double what was on the free plan.

All good, just that has nothing to do with trust. Trust works both ways. There is no such thing as free lunch, and we have always called the "free" plan "unlimited trial" with clear statement that we can revoke it at anytime.

It looks really cheap, you could easily hue shift every pixel in the game with this.

One trick I've used in the past is using the alpha channel to mask multiple hue shifts in a shader to give a lot of variations. Eg 0 = shift A, 0.5 = don't shift, 1 = shift B.

That way you can make eg leather armor with metal attachments, and tan or fade the leather and swap metal types independently.
