+1 for AdGuard. I picked up a lifetime license a while ago but I was sceptical. Now I have it installed on my iOS devices and on my Mac. Working fine.
Adguard is an electron app that runs in the background of your machine. I found the whole idea of that apalling and uninstalled it.
This felt a bit short on details. What did they do?
Yup! Processes see/use virtual memory, not the literal physical RAM address spaces. The kernel maintains mappings between virtual-physical and will allocate/free physical memory as needed. All of this is invisible to the process.

Pretty neat huh?

Not true. Governments around the world are just using money that doesn't exists, an example is the new economic rescue package. This kind of money, is great to made rich people richer.

Though not impossible, NVIDIA has been doing application detection for ages for the purpose of tuning the performance of the latest popular games. So as long as your scientific calculations don't calculate too much Keccak-256 hashes, they should probably be fine.
Oh no, I've been found out!
That's an obvious reason though.. It provides user training, addiction, lockin, and demands to further entrench Adobe CS in companies as "required software".

The lockin of all my documents and content is enough to run me towards Free and Open Source software. Albeit the software may not be as polished, but I will not be subject to my data being hijacked and ransomed by a for-profit entity.
Chrome does use a lot of memory, but I’m extremely skeptical of this blog post’s methodology and results. Does it seem realistic to have 54 different real web pages open that total under 1GB? (If they’re opening tiny fake pages, this test is misleading and useless.) Most real web sites transfer several megabytes on load. CNN.com loaded 4.2MB for me. Amazon.com loaded 4.3 MB. That’s just the data transfer of compressed assets. The images and content have to be uncompressed and rendered, which takes a lot more memory.

I’m playing on a Mac right now and see nothing like what is reported here. When I open cnn.com in Safari, that tab alone takes 1GB. Chrome reports far less usage than that.

Also “Real Memory” is not the same as active memory in RAM, it’s not necessarily giving a complete picture. Memory can allocated but unused or compressed or paged out.
I think this is a sincere question.

It's quite possible this ends in a global depression that's worse than what we had in 2008, maybe even worse than what we had in the 1930s.

There are a lot of states that are not very solvent: states collapsing financially is also a possibility. Very bad for the people who live there, and sometimes their neighbors.
I literally never said that so you're lying and/or arguing a straw man here.

The difference is that laptops have always been able to run that stuff. iOS was setup from the beginning to only allow apps from the App Store.

If users want the freedom to install whatever they want on their devices, they can go with Android.
I was playing a quick game, clicked a mine and it was impossible for it to be a mine based on the numbers. I was about to screenshot and post it here when I realized that I had scrolled to perfectly hide the bottom row of the game, which changed everything.

There's another HN post right now about a UI problem costing Citibank $500M. It seems like this is somewhat related in my mind. If the application had made clear to me somehow that I wasn't seeing all of the information I needed to see, I wouldn't have failed. Not that it matters in this case. Just an example of how common these sorts of problems are, and how hard it would be to find and prevent all of them.
Gimp the memory bandwidth, that'll do it.
The question the law asks is whether they knew it was a mistake at the time they received it. Not whether anyone later decided to be a nice guy upon learning it was a mistake.

In this case, what happened was, Citibank sent out these payments on August 11. Each creditor received a payment in the exact amount (down to the cent) of what they would be owed if Revlon had actually intended to pay down the debt in full, with interest.

On August 12 they told all the hedge funds “oops, send it back.” Some of them said “Hey, no problem, it happens to the best of us, here you go!”, and returned the money. Some of them said “Uh, we’re not going to do that.” And this latter group are the ones who just won in court.
In this case, yes, in general I doubt it.

I assume this system is designed to handle manually adjusted payments for syndicated lending. So you've got one borrower with potentially multiple credit facilities, with each credit facility will be funded by multiple lenders, each with potentially multiple accounts. The events you are dealing with are fees, underpayment/overpayment of interest or principal, late or early payments of principal, transfers of balances from one lender to another, funding transactions and plenty I haven't thought of or considered but are represented by check boxes on that UI.

It's complicated. The reason the system exists is because it's complicated, and prone to human error, and the before and after might generate dozens of events in dozens of accounts.
The ClubHouse price isn't the technology (as it isn't nothing more than audio in some setup). It's in the userbase and attraction: influent people getting onboard, demand based on invitation only, exclusivity, iOS-only...

If they don't lose their hands, they'll keep this as a desirable product, and the value will reflect so.

I can confirm his experience via my brother's nearly identical experience. He asked for a non-addictive painkiller, as he knows he has an addictive personality. He was prescribed an opiod anyway, I don't recall which, for a serious abscessed tooth.

After a couple of days he was experiencing identical symptoms as the GP.

I'm not trying to chime in on how strictly we're interpreting "instantly," but for me I will definitely do my best to avoid opiods. Taking the prescribed amount for 2-3 days, and literally not taking the rest of the pills (both GP and my brother), and having serious physical withdrawals--that's fast enough that I would rather avoid it.
Ah, indeed I did not get that that's the point you wanted to make :) Reading it again I really jumped to a misinterpretation there. Sorry.

You are right, it's not as obvious that this is a half a billion dollar issue that usability work would have avoided as it is obvious that the UI is flawed. I jumped to "A usability professional would have noted that it's the wrong approach" and from there simplified to "see how flawed it is".

Hey hackernews - we've been working in the influencer space for a long time and we've acquired a lot of data for millions of people.

We had this idea that it would be super simple to build a Shopify app that would automatically connect with your store (or any other email marketing software really) and will tell you when influencers are buying from you.

From there it's up to you to decide if you maybe want to work with them, somehow personalise the order maybe they feature you for free, or just have a better understand of who your customers are.

Would really appreciate some feedback here.
For sending the audio from the speaker to Clubhouse, sure.

What about the broadcast to all the listeners? Here the server is sending UDP packets to thousands of clients? Not sure how NAT works with UDP incoming into the NAT - isn't UDP connection-less and there's no indication from the server side what the internal network layout is?
It took me a while to put a finger on what seems wrong about this take. I don't think politicians have "outsourced" the work to the invisible hand (n.b.: not banks per se) because they failed to make long-term decisions. I think they "outsourced" the work because it reduces their responsibility in the eyes of the public.

The point is that the invisible hand also makes short-term decisions, in addition to all the other problems it produces.

This is not an improvement!
Citi accidentally transferred the very real risk of default from the creditor to themselves. Revlon bonds trading at 42 cents on the dollar... So, you could say that Citi is out 58% of $500M today.

Edit: The 'creditor' in this case is composed of 10 investment advisory firms, who, at one point, thought the interest payments were a good deal for them. But, rest assured that they are quite pleased to be made whole on their bad investment. Source: https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/16/business/citibank-revlon-laws...

> Once your iPhone is stolen, it's gone. No iCloud lock is going to bring it back, so why prevent other, less-privileged folks from using it when you can't use it?

Because I would like to inflict damage back. Stealing from me cause damage. I do not believe thieves should get a free pass on causing me damages just because they are less privileged.

Ideally, a small amount of C4 and a "remote explode" taking a few fingers off the thief would be a proper deterrent, as well as a good use of Sharia law.
I don't think you can compare Windows Vs Mac when it comes to FF. There have been countless complaints about FF mac performance over the years - even after they supposedly fixed it all.

I had the opportunity to speak with one of Ingenuity's engineers in the NASA pavilion at the EAA Fly In in Oshkosh, WI in 2017 (or perhaps 2016). This was before it had been accepted for the Rover2020 mission but just after they had proven the concept flight capable. I asked him about flight conditions on Mars and what they had to do to get their design airborne in such a thin atmosphere. He made a few points.

1. Given the thinness of the atmosphere, the counter rotating blades are balanced among thickness, length, and rotation speed. They're essentially as big as they can spin with the power they have at a speed where the tips are just under the Martian speed of sound.

2. I asked if wind was an issue. He said that it wasn't an issue for the stability of the craft (Martian wind moving much of anything is a movie trope) but the turbulence it caused could be a major issue for the blades, as they're essentially small wings, like a helicopter. The turbulence of a cross breeze could disrupt the flow of air over the blades and cause them to lose lift.

3. The design of the craft was essentially locked once they confirmed it could fly. They would keep most of their original hardware and software, rather than rebuild anything, which I found surprising. Given this was before they were accepted on the mission I'm not sure if anything changed. It does appear to be pretty equivalent to what we saw there.

I've heard very good things about the Keychron keyboards[1], especially on a Mac (the design is almost Mac-first) - the K1[2] and K3[3] are both low-profile and should be as quiet as a mechanical keyboard gets with Red/brown switches and you can opt for optical switches too - also bluetooth so it's fairly portable. Although there's no firmware/software to remap keys so you'll need to do that on the OS side.

Companies like HAVIT[4] and Coolermaster[5] have made them too, but I haven't heard much about their stuff.

Awesome - great job, guys!
You aren't hungover if you never stop drinking - which is the point.

It's really, really prevalent in some industries. I've hired concrete finishers before (multiple times), and I've never NOT had a bunch of empty cans crushed up and hidden somewhere random on the worksite afterwords, even if it's only for a couple hours. When I worked with some writers years ago, they kept bottles of cheap scotch and 2 buck chuck in their desks, and had to replenish them regularly.

The go to drug selection in tech skews our perception a bit (weed being incredibly pervasive, but lsd,shrooms,stimulatns far from absent).

Well, these guys like poisoning bad people in foreign countries with weird substances. So dropping couple radioactive barrels into a river does not sound that unrealistic to me. And it then makes a thing called “accident”. Using weapon is an “attack”, what is totally uncool nowadays.
It's a strange new world we are living in where people don't understand why journalists report the names and details of notable and newsworthy things that people do.

That doesn't necessarily follow, lawyers have a long tradition of including "cover your ass" clauses even if they don't think it's likely that they would be liable without it.
Show HN: Create APIs for static datasets without writing a single line of code
Just chiming in to add that I also had a terrible experience cancelling my NYT subscription. I signed up online with a credit card & didn't realize that that automatically causes your subscription to autorenew (it was hundreds of dollars per year, no small amount of money). I called them they told me that because I signed up with cc I opted into auto renew which I am 100% sure I did not "opt-in" to consciously, I wouldn't autorenew something that expensive.

They initially refused to issue any refund and eventually gave a prorated one after a long time on the phone. It was a nightmare. (I had subscribed to magazines in the past and they do not autorenew as a rule, I was used to getting "you have 2 issues left! Last issue!" reminders and I thought newspaper was the same). Anyway their "using credit card = opt in to autorenew" was sleazy in my opinion. I certainly will never do business with them again.
+1, the issue here is not that errors can occur but instead how a company responds. It’s tough to be sympathetic to leaders in a company that were aware of the errors and then took no action for years to remedy it, particularly as the error resulted in overcharging customers.

Likewise. But it was so hard to get any work out of Adams, apparently [1], that it's no great surprise Bureaucracy only happened in the medium of IF.

Perhaps it's time for a reimagining - I could see it working really well as a collection of "websites" with "live chats" and "emails" and so forth, borrowing tools from the "alternate-reality game" style of organic viral marketing and turning them to an altogether nobler purpose. I think that'd be the right choice of medium to tell this sort of story today.

What circumstance do you have in mind in which the person receiving the transaction would A) have reason to believe the payment is valid, B) not be considered a “creditor”?
This is all wrong, though. We're talking about global debt. There's no external buffer from which funds are being drawn, nor money "printed" to refill. It's all our money. Every debt borrowed is held by someone else. Debt, on this scale, is effectively the engine that turns "wealth" (static resources) into "economy" (doing stuff).

All the stuff you're talking about is true only on micro scales, assuming that that debt is "owed" to some third party.

In fact this can keep going on forever, really. If the money printers are going Brrr... and no inflation is happening nor buildups of saved wealth, then by definition the economy is increasing in size.
I don't think this is correct—I read the earlier section of the docs ("Block Form Of Source, Git, Path, Group And Platforms") as saying that the block form is equivalent to the "source explicitly attached to the gem", the first priority item in your link

However, this section is concerning:

> The presence of a source block in a Gemfile also makes that source available as a possible global source for any other gems which do not specify explicit sources. Thus, when defining source blocks, it is recommended that you also ensure all other gems in the Gemfile are using explicit sources, either via source blocks or :source directives on individual gems.

Yikes! This is yet another easy footgun for people to reintroduce this issue
Can someone who understands aeronautical engineering explain why they went with a helicopter over a winged aircraft?

My guess is that takeoff would be too difficult for a traditional winged aircraft and VTOL was way too complicated.

But given the thin nature of the atmosphere, a helicopter seems even more difficult to get lift than a winged aircraft.

Can someone explain or link to the science between lift and air density and it's relation to helicopters and winged aircraft? Thanks!
Artificial Neural Nets Finally Yield Clues to How Brains Learn
> I decided, for New Years, to try getting addicted to caffeine and alcohol

Why did you decide this?
> But it could also have been avoided by longer and more extensive training, right?

Sure, it maybe could, but why risk it? Humans are also humans, and even pilots with endless amount of flight time does mistakes sometimes, because we're all humans. The idea is to work with the idea that sometimes we fail, even if we are well trained, so when failures happen, it's easy to recover.

> Where do you draw the line between blaming the UX and blaming the training process, or the inevitable cases where an irreversible decision made under uncertainty turned out to be the wrong one?

Basically, it's always the UX. If there is a case where the pilot made the wrong decision, something needs to change so if a pilot with similar experience, wouldn't have made that decision with a different UX. Basically force the pilots to do the right decision, always.

I'm not 100% on the history of all of this, so if someone is more familiar with it, please correct me. But I think it started with "Crew resource management" to ensure proper training of the crew. It has gone through many iterations where less and less blame is being made on the crew and more on the equipment. I think the point of the current iteration basically boils down to "Human-error will happen, let's plan for it and if human-error lead to a plane going down, let's fix it so the same error would be prevented".
Even if we take that study at face value (they basically overfitted a model with so many free parameters, they could tune it to give any result they want), car seat regulations have at least two orders of magnitude less effect than any of immigration, healthcare, tax, or labor regulations policies.
