Yeah, you better provide proof on that claim. It was definitely not Russia who funded “rebels”. And it was SA who funded ISIS.

I think people who use dating apps tend to focus on superficial features like physical attractiveness or (the appearance of) wealth / status. People will judge you based on their first impression, rather than taking time to know you more deeply as a person.

So, I think for someone who doesn't want to play "the dating game", yes, an effective dating strategy is to accept that they won't be able to easily find a partner in the short-term. Instead, a strategy of self-improvement combined with leading a more social life (via hobby groups etc) in which one regularly meets new people is a great way for them to eventually bump into someone they vibe with really well.

I think many people who are desperate for a partner are also unhappy in other aspects of their life -- joining non-romantic social groups centered around a common interest is a great cure for loneliness, until the right person comes along.
30k for a full time front end job? I don't know about the UK but in the US that's about half what I'd expect a junior dev job to pay.
Stuff like this - wow. We have to ask ourselves what these centralised platforms offer that decentralised ones like NNTP didn’t.

Nice work and well done.
And the Wirecutter response even has a factually inaccurate statement in the first 3 sentences:

> In it, the company claims that The Wirecutter initially picked NextDesk as an editorial recommendation but later downgraded the recommendation after NextDesk declined to set up an affiliate-revenue agreement.

>We want to be clear: NextDesk’s claim is false, and its representation of our editorial decision-making process is factually inaccurate.

That claim as described is in fact TRUE. NextDesk was picked, then declined an affiliate-revenue agreement, then the recommendation was downgraded. That was the order of events. The rest I don't know, but it's pretty ridiculous to have that kind of error when these kinds of things often result in lawsuits.
Why? What would knowing the format contribute?

Databricks is not an RDBMS...it's a Unified Analytics Platform (their words i know), but that really describes it well. It's been really liberating to having easy access to versioned data at your fingertips when iterating on models...and also being able to track models and share work. It does have some warts but it's much better than any other single platform I've used for data science/ML
The license (last I checked anyways) also lets you self-host your servers. If you can afford the upfront costs for that, it's probably cheaper in the long run. IIRC, part of the motivation for Roblox's IPO was to raise funds to setup their own hosting infrastructure to lower costs, because AWS was too expensive.

And if you're making a single-player game, or a p2p multiplayer game, then you'd only need AWS for matchmaking servers and maybe some other simple accounts/databases, or like S3 to distribute content files.

So while it is a stupid decision on paper to lock yourself into a single vendor, I think it could work out in a lot of cases. It might even be cheaper than Unreal, which takes a 5% cut, as long as Amazon doesn't decide to exploit their relationship with you.
If Teradata is faster for workload X or Y, it isn’t because of a shared nothing architecture. Databricks and Snowflake both cache the working set on local disks of the worker nodes, so in practice they are shared nothing systems from a performance perspective.
Neuralink has wired up a monkey to play video games using its mind

It does, but I would imagine amount of water droplets are negligible. I mean if it is used in cleaning products (presumably in higher concentrations that would be required in humidifier), it seems that droplets of those have higher probability of staying in the air after cleaning than whatever fan blowing on the surface can put there? Or am I understanding risks associated with it wrong?
> I don't know who panicked and why, but all JDK versions have always been out of a free public update period after about 5 years

People panicked because, unlike before, it didn't just say "we're no longer updating this, but you can continue to use it". No, instead it was a shakedown for money if you continued to use it past some specific date listed in the popup. Painting that as normal is disingenuous, and rightfully led to a very public Oracle JDK exodus.

> First of all, none of those companies offer an 8 JRE, because OpenJDK was not yet open-source in version 8, and OpenJDK 8 doesn't have the JRE

Azul seems to disagree. They have a JRE7[1] and JRE8[2] offering.

> (it's missing Applets and Web Start, for example, the very things people need a JRE for).

I doubt people need a JRE for Applets or Web Start anymore. So that's not the reason. Old Legacy Java5 Applets aren't going to run on Java9+ without other significant changes anyway.

If I go to Oracle's website, it's difficult to find where to download any version of Java JRE or JDK without being bombarded with a plethora of "Subscribe and protect your Java investment!" and many other calls to pay for support and what-not. That's their prerogative. Nothing is wrong with Oracle wanting to charge people to use their binaries - and this reinforces my earlier points about Oracle stepping back into "just another JDK vendor" role. You may disagree with that exact phrasing, but I do not believe the distinction of contributing more code matters for the point I am raising.

If what you say about Oracle and their flavor of the JDK is true... well then Oracle has a massive optics problem because out here, outside the inner OpenJDK circle, the Java8 thing was quite a fiasco and definitely led to many organizations trying out Oracle's JDK "competitors" for the first time.

> they're not ports

Never said they were. They're OpenJDK source compiled and offered in a binary for free without any strings attached - far from what Oracle's messaging was at the time of all this.

I can see how on the outside that might be a concern. How many awful years would you be willing to trade for good years? 2:1? 5:1? 10:1?

Consider

Lifetime Remaining x Quality of Life

If QoL is negative but can be switched to positive at some cost of LR it's not a hard deal to make. Especially in a world with car accidents and deadly diseases.
This is the first comment I’ve read in this thread that sounds like a real HN user and not copy for a car advertisement.
Lincoln Isn't Evil. Neither Is the West. Stand Up to the Lies
This reminds me of the art on the walls in Prey (2017), eg https://giantbomb1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/0/5370/30...
Yes and it's made worse by the fact that there's no way to get the raw body of the request in a synchronous endpoint.

I also ran into some really bad validation / serialization performance degradations for large response bodies. Serializing responses with a few 100 small objects or neural network embeddings would take a function that takes 7ms and blow it up to 100-200ms.
"some pretty gewgaws for the wife is a good idea, otherwise she might not let you out next year ..."

Familiar with that problem. Over recent years I've become timid and compliant, it's safer that way. (She's smarter than I am.) ;-)
Per dollar? Or per watt?
Sort of. I played Proteus a little bit and it was definitely along the right lines, though I wouldn't say the genre as a whole is exactly what I mean. Many walking simulators like Dear Esther and Gone Home are pretty linear, where "exploration" mostly means unpacking a specific story in the exact order the developers planned. Some others, like Eidolon, still can't resist putting little collectibles in there.
You should look into that Google Cloud thing.
The problem with low humidity in winter isn't forced air heating, it's air leakage. But since most houses have poor thermal envelopes, your statement turns out to be mostly true.
It was close, in 2008. It was frighteningly close. Not before or since, but yeah, I'll give them "close" on that one. ("Worse than 1930" was part of the criterion. We didn't come close to that in terms of the final outcome, but we were, I think, within a very few days of getting there.)
Thanks! I know, right? A maze, a large mother tree, a love story, an ancient wise dude. What else would a gnome village need?
In the early 2000s some people tried to build distros around it. Here it is running Gnome in 2004: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GNOME_2_running_on...

In those days there was a bit more optimism about such things but it was sort of like "why not just use Linux"? I think, iirc from reading tech news back then, there were also complaints about the quality and quantity of what Apple was releasing in source form.
For me, the medicine (lowish dose of adderall) gives me a sense of peace Without it my mind races and the hyper-everything is exhausting. My wife has tried it and it had the opposite effect on her. For me, the stimulant is very calming.
Not yet. I'll talk to my doctor. Thanks for the advice.

Regular cardio makes me feel "functional" most of the time and I see some advantage on not taking this sort of medicine. But it would be nice to have some "fail over" strategy whenever I be unable to workout or on the not so rare occasions the workout doesn't work.
I used to religiously follow wirecutter recommendations. But I don’t anymore.

I had the exact same issue with this humidifier. I got their upgraded version instead and that was better.
But just think of all those extra years you could have living in a cardboard box and feeling like a major disappointment! Or missing out on being completely spaced out, depressed, or anxious during major life events in your family!
Well, for one there may be VLC people on this thread who'd know whether this was an unintentional regression.
I don't trust any humidifier that doesn't boil water. They all grow mold and efficiently disperse it into the air. I don't think reviewers are properly taking this into account.
About $700 per person sounds incredibly low for what is allegedly "back pay" across a three year period. Especially considering the back pay for people "not hired" should be close to "a Googler salary" and not "our last stimulus check".

Which is to say, this is barely a slap on the wrist, par for the course on government actions against Google. Sundar Pichai will still continue to act like a crook because it pays to do so, he can't be thrown in jail for it and the penalties are always a fraction of the profits.

I think the important takeaway is that https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-tn-google-discriminat... ("Google denies charges, says there is no gender pay gap") was a lie. And that https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/04/technology/google-gender-... ("Google Finds It’s Underpaying Many Men as It Addresses Wage Equity") was also certainly a lie.

And that there probably should be a lot of punitive damages here in addition to "back pay". At the very least, the taxpayers should be getting something back from all the years the DOL had to waste dealing with this case.
This is the first time I hear of this (https://xkcd.com/1053/).

I had always assumed they had the same etymology. It didn't help that in Spanish all of these words maintain the 'r' between the 'a' and 't': tártaro, ra, Tártaro, Tartaria.

Here there are 3 different etymologies: https://dle.rae.es/t%C3%A1rtaro and here there's another one: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauce_tartare

Although I don't know if the Wikipedia article should be trusted, since the English version one (Tartar sauce) states: "The word Tartar is a Turkic word that is the name of Tatar people."

We have been migrating a project from DRF to FastAPI, and its a massive performance improvement. Which was what we were needing. Unfortunately our data was just not well handled by DRF, and serialization from PG > Python > JSON was absolute horrendous. So we love the speed we are getting with FastAPI.

Now you do lose a lot of things. There is no more Django ORM, so we are back to using SQLAlchemy. I don't think this is bad, but definitely different.

You also have to write a lot more specs, and such. Which can be annoying, but not too bad.

It also encouraged us to go over to type hints on the whole code base and has save from a few bugs as well.

Overall we really like it, not sure I will go back to DRF on any future big projects. Still handy for something quick, but not what I want to be using moving forward.
EXACTLY. You absolutely can store unstructured and semi structured data in Snowflake. I find it baffling and at this point a bit irritating that there is this community of people insisting that is not allowed for...some unspecified reason.
Some of the coolest programs I've seen are PICO-8 "tweet carts" [1], where a graphical demo is squeezed into 280 chars (previously 140) and tweeted as GIFs along with their code. It's amazing what people can do

As a side note, most tweetcarts are recorded and posted manually, but two Twitter bots were released (on the same day) to do it automatically if you @ them with the code. One of them was mine, and it's no longer up, but there's still @TweetCartRunner

We tried paying everyone the same salary. It failed
Thanks, I looked at this way back before v1 and had a lot of issues. I guess I need to retest it.

Most of the models I use can be converted to a more optimized formats for inference like https://treelite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ so the code and interfaces are pretty similar and it makes the architecture less complex to update and deploy.
I don't trust reviews on the internet at all anymore, unless they come from a single person (not a faceless group) that's known in that space. Affiliate garbage has ruined the ability to find any good information about products.
I found the line, "And much like linguistic false friends...such as... jungli, which means wild in Gujarati, not jungle" amusing because it's right for the wrong reason.

"Jungli" means "person from the jungle" in many Indian languages, but the word "jungle," which in English connotes a dense forest, comes from a Sanskrit root that actually refers to an arid, undeveloped, semi-desert environment. So, the word means exactly what the author thinks -- a wild person from the jungle -- but because it was borrowed incorrectly, it's a completely different "jungle". So it remains a "linguistic false friend"!
Maybe there should be a genre distinction for truly "walk in the park" or "hike in the woods" style experiences, though even in the woods or at a park you'll often encounter trails or paths, which tend to shape a more linear experience.
Show HN: Cracking the top product design interviews

This looks great, plain-text is underrated. Do you use this yourself, and for how long?

Your format looks like a slightly more strict version of this one here: https://jeffhuang.com/productivity_text_file/
The obligation is to take reasonable steps to ensure that a platform isn't used for illegal activities. This isn't something you can 100% exclude, of course, and what "reasonable steps" are differ per platform, but in the case of an app store "take action against malicious scam apps when notified of their existence" seems quite reasonable to me.

The only difference is that copyright/DMCA has a huge industry pursuing this, and there is no one with deep pockets and free time pursuing this.
The rest of the Wirecutter article where it backtracks?
Yes, the press release seems proud to be getting underpaid employees their rightful $527 each. Not sure what they think that means. This is back pay with interest -- assuming it's two years worth of underpayment, it seems safe to say some women and Asians were being "underpaid" by less than 0.1%.

Plus they're "allocating a cash reserve [for] pay-equity adjustments for the next 5 years". Wouldn't the DoL prefer that Google stop systematically paying women 0.1% less than it pays men? Why is the solution "keep some petty cash on hand, in case we sue you again"? Why in the world does Google need to post a bond for $1.3 million? When has it had less than that amount freely available in its metaphorical pockets?
I've used smplayer for ages and like it.
Congrats on launching - looks awesome! It's about time we have an open source datadog :)

Also, it's great to see the early focus on developer experience - "opstrace create".
Talking about codecs and splitters, LAV Filters covers pretty much everything. It packs libavcodec and libavformat as DirectShow filters.

https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters

Before that, there was FFDShow. Things weren't as mature nor complete back then, though.
I'm in an older group. It feels like much of the same.

In my grade school all of the girls had a crush on one or two guys even the less pretty ones. No one had a chance. High school was similiar. Going to rock concerts changed that as I started to meet girls with similiar interests. Going to a concert would automatically give me a leg up because we were now part of a social circle. Later on in life I would go to a karoke bar and just the act of showing up a few times on the same day for a few weeks puts you in a social circle with others who do the same.

I don't know if things have changed all that much aside from the amount of people online. I use to meet girls from bbses / the early social media sites. The differences is they were smaller and you felt like part of a social circle.

Today I would advise to try to go to social meetups like photography in the park groups.. try to join a smaller group.

In the end the girls from my elementary school grew up and married. Everyone married similiar to them. If they are overweight so are there husbands. If they were an 8 their husbands would be an 8. If they are a 4 their husbands are a 4. They general look like each other.

My guess is the girls from your primary school will end up with someone similiar to them and so will you.
I hate it when ascii art is placed in images. Sad that the README goes that route, I was actually viewing the page with Lynx and didn't care much for chrome deficiencies...

BTW, ImageMagick can export Unicode Braille files. Something like convert foo.png foo.ubrl will give you a dotified textual representation.
Lincoln may not be evil, but he's a man of his times and we are in a different world now. Statues get torn down, that to me is a sign of progress. People recognize he wasn't an angel, maybe the best America could do at the time but the hope is to have heroes even greater.

The line about repeating "you are free" is straight out of 1984. In a truly free society the question and self affirmations would not be needed.
