Also in Finland, its really common to see people still in university in their late 20's, so that will really drive down the "Neet 15-29" figure. This is because people start later (partially due to military conscription) and because most people go for a master's degree rather than stopping at a bachelor's degree. Compare this to the USA where its standard to be done around age 22. It would be nice to see comparisons between countries for NEET 30+ to see if the differences remain.

The subject of this discussion is non-technical consumers selecting default options, getting their phone OS automatically updated and then wondering why their phone is a bit slower. They're not making an informed choice about upgrading their OS, and are getting an unexpected behaviour they're not happy about.

This generally doesn't happen on Android because automatic major OS updates don't generally happen. You upgraded your phone yourself and you know what you're doing, so if you had a problem with performance or otherwise you've got no recourse against the carrier or phone manufacturer.
A bit of meat is probably a valuable part of a balanced diet. But the average American eats nearly 100kg per year. That's a lot. You don't need to become a Vegan to cut that in half. You can eat a quarter pounder with cheese every day and still only consume 40kg of meat per year.

Yep. We used to use this for some hacks back before AST libraries were a thing, mainly because Function.prototype.toString() preserves comments.

function foo() { /* a comment! / }

console.log(foo.toString()); //-> "function foo() { / a comment! */ }"
As far as i understand it reduces interest, but increases the price.

Basically a hidden interest increase.. Overall maybe cheaper. But i dont think by much..
I don't really know what those people in physics do, but as a mathematician my definition of a time-crystal would be a 4-dimensional discrete structure. You have some 4-dimensional symmetries.

Just rotating in 3D is a bit boring. Interesting symmetries would be where you get the time-axis involved.

4D is most likely a bit boring - having more dimensions and more time-dimensions helps greatly to get more symmetries to work with...
DJI digital video has been out for quite awhile now for hobbyists to include in their custom builds. Transmission range is not a valid point because a clean analog video signal and Crossfire outpaces DJI enormously.

The 20 min flight time is a lie, Joshua Bardwell measured 10 minutes hovering. That's extremely easy to surpass on typical light weight 5 inch freestyle drone with a 1300mah battery that cost a fifth of the price of the DJI ones.

It is an impressive drone, but for experienced FPV pilots it's very limiting.
I guess my point was a curiosity that these control codes had become obscure, when text format interchange is so prevalent throughout computing history.
Great. Sometimes it feels like there's little progress made in space exploration. But such a compilation is a good reminder that - yes, maybe it's a bit too slow for the impatient, but progress is being made, and it shows.
Microsoft already has "Power Query", aka "M".

This thing seems like more or less the same, except slightly different.

Low (or even negative) value for the users but probably high value for the managers and programmers who hope to get a promotion out of this thing.

Microsoft should just stick to Power Query and make it a real standard instead.

Context may be important here. Mortgage vs credit card debt in the US are a bit different due to the type of assets they back--real estate appreciates, many day to day purchases on a card do not.

However, there are places where mortgage backed assets depreciate [1]. There may be other places this is true, though I don't know enough about markets in northern Europe to say if this is an issue there.

Although I've loved living here and generally am on board politically with the social welfare program, government policy here really seems to be messing with the housing market! Houses almost inevitably go for exactly the mortgage amount the government insures, with cash on top of that. The median income here is ~36,000 euros but this amount is over 300,000 euros! It's baffling. It has the nice effect of making the loan rates just over 1% or whatever, but it doesn't have to be this way...

I'm sure DFI is keeping the insane bubble going, but I wish they would make this a priority.
What I'm saying is that despite providing tens of wheels per release, pip still sometimes gets the source version, and it's predominately the unskilled users that descend en-masse to complain that it won't install, there's this error message, and what does it mean. As a maintainer, this sucks. Even if it's a very small fraction, the internet is large, and my time isn't.

I disagree with Alex. I understand his point of view, but I disagree.

I also disagree with his project's decision to print a non-disableable warning on import in python 2.7, and then justifying the noisy warning based on "we didn't want people to disable it". One legacy project I'm working on is trying to get off 2.7. It's a long process, we know about it, and warnings like this all over the logs simply don't help.
Updater for Manually-Installed and Source-Compiled (Misc) Packages
I made this silly script for checking for updates in 'misc' (very proud of that acronym btw) packages. It's nothing complicated, and more of a template than a 'one-script-fits-all' situtation, but I realised I hadn't come across something like this before, and I consider it very useful. It made me wonder if other people here have done or seen anything similar?
The motion controller reminds me of a project I made many years ago, where head tilting of an oculus rift would control the cameras on your drone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7654141

Also cool that they have been embracing virtual practicing it seems. The original DJI controllers were impossible to pair with simulators, so I had to hack it: https://github.com/Matsemann/mDjiController/

I sold (or basically gave away) all my home-made drone setup a year or so ago, after it being in a box for 3+ years. It was a hassle to set up, and very hard to fly and get good pictures and actually be in control (original DJI Phantom included). Cool tech and fun to hack on, but not very good UX heh. However I would still very much like to fly and film more, but then with some out-of-the-box-ready solutions. Modern ones seem to have obstacle avoidance, better hovering, tracking or point-to-point etc, so I can actually focus on the (for me, now) fun parts of filming the sports action.

What are some good drones for that use-case? DJI alone has a big lineup now, hard to know which one is more fitting. And are there other contenders selling ready to use stuff? Thought GoPro had one but seems like they've stopped.
I was looking into this but I have not found a satisfying solution.

I ended up buying a Garmin Venu SQ with the following plan:
- Use the Garmin Connect app without giving it permission to upload data. This makes the app basically useless expect for managing some settings and creating custom workouts on the device.
- Use workoutizer (a pip package) to process my activity data. Workoutizer should be able to import the files from the garmin device and create some nice visuals from them.
- For non-activity related data (ie. Sleep and continuos hearth rate monitoring) I am considering two options:
1) Ensuring that Gadgetbridge has support for the Garmin device.
2) Extending workoutizer so that it can also process other kinds of data (assuming that I can fetch that data directly from the device as well).

For a more user-friendly alternative you might look into devices that are already supported by Gadgetbridge (my other option was buying an Amazfit GTS 2e which is already supported by Gadgetbridge).

Still, I was bumped that there is not option that allows this out-of-the-box. But I think that I can get it working for me, without having to upload all my data to Garmin :)

The interesting thing about a mortgage is that it's a leveraged bet on increased housing prices. Having a heavily mortgaged population makes it very politically difficult to decrease housing prices, as small changes in housing price will lead to huge swings in net worth, even as the high prices cause a number of social ills including but not limited to population decrease.
> - all assume that your data all lives in Sharepoint or some other MS resource

Pretty much this. Use MS Power platform exclusively for reading/writing from MS things and you should be OK. Venture beyond that and it's painful.

A lot of stuff seems to have grown out of (or is just layered upon) Sharepoint and Dynamics, so there is a lot of synergy there.
I don't know the particulars of the other OECD countries, but in the Netherlands, the vast majority of household debts are mortgages (as alluded to in the article).

The main drivers are probably the tax policy: mortgage interest payments were fully deductible (untill the very slow phasing out reforms after the 2008 financial crisis). This sounds similar as in the US, but in the Netherlands/Europe the effect is stronger because marginal tax rates are high (>50%) and the top income tax bracket kicks in much earlier than in the US. It starts around 60k in the Netherlands, so beyond 60k more than half of every extra earned Euro goes to the state. Due to the full deductibility, the common narrative became: if you're in the top tax bracket, the state pays more than half your mortgate interest. For most working households, pensions and mortgages are the only substantial tax relieves, which predictably lead to households maxing out their pensions and mortgages.

In the Netherlands, zero-downpayment (or even negative-downpayment), interest-only mortgages are/were the norm. Before the 2008 crisis, it was very common for respectable financial advisors and banks in the Netherlands to advise households to borrow as much as they can on a 30 year mortgage, never pay down the debt and put everything in the stock market.

(Incidentally, my distaste for the bad incentives that come with the tax gimics in high public-spending regimes is one of the reasons than I, a European welfare state citizen, am probably more right leaning, cold-hearted fiscal conservative than the median young progressive American tech-forum dweller.)

The demos run from the terminal seem to run at a much higher frame rate. Firefox webgl demo slowdown may be due to other factors.
That sounds like gambler's fallacy.
That's not necessarily the case in general. If you had an algorithm which, given a billion dollars' worth of specialized lattice reduction ASICs, could break 2048-bit RSA in a few months' time, then for all practical purposes this would mean that 2048-bit RSA was broken -- there are plenty of state actors who would drop that kind of money in a heartbeat -- but that doesn't mean that some guy who came up with it would be able to do a demo on his laptop.

(Not saying that the above has anything to do with this paper in particular.)

If any Deno dev/members are here, it would be really really nice to see mocking/spy support in the Deno test framework.

This is the major thing holding me back from using Deno more at the moment.

Not being able to mock out a class/function or spy on a particular call etc means that there are large parts of my code/particular situations that are not able to be tested easily without refactoring my entire codebase to use manual IoC and excessive-OO to hide things away under layers of interfaces etc. E.g. I cannot currently mock out `Deno.connect` (....? or can I?) so it is hard to test all sitautions there. Unfortunately this sort of thing (connecting to a remote system) is often quite critical and would benefit hugely from extensive testing.

It would be great to be able to create tests where calls to Deno.connect throw errors, or where it returns 0 bytes, or a special sequence of bytes and so on and so on to verify that my code works - this is the classic sort of `Spy` functionality seen and used extensively in Jasmine et al.

I know there are third-party solutions to this, but it would be nice to see this in the standard distribution.
> Low res analog video -> high res digital video

Major benefit of analog video is a progressive degradation of quality as a signal gets weaker and almost instant reacquisition after a complete dropout. I'm curious to see how DJI competes with that on a digital video.

> ~5 minutes fly time -> ~20 minutes fly time

For FPV racing that's rather a downgrade. Ideally you'd like to land with almost empty battery right after finishing the course. Any leftover charge is a dead weight that only slows you down. But then again - I don't think this drone will be used in competitive FPV racing.

I mean, yeah, great ideal, but that doesn’t appear (to my superficial look at it so far?) appear to be anything other than an ideal.

I can also aspire to build a platform which enables everyone to prototype and then also run it in production with no performance issues, where “pro developers” can just pickup where “casual developers” left off on the prototype.

...but I’m not really interested until someone actually does it, rather than just talking about it.

The power platform is a lot of PowerPoint and sales talk so far from what I’ve seen, but with what seems of actual implementation always rolling back to Q2 next year when you ask for the details...

You are not alone. There are more countries in Europe who sponsor their banks in the same style.

It is disgusting, as suddenly the whole society is paying (part of) the too high interest of a few.

It gets ever worst when you realise the higher the mortgage, the more likely the richer the lender, the higher the tax deduction, the higher the amount society pays.

This is also the reason why nothing will change fast on the 'interest deduction' front.

And, if you somehow manage to procure one to power your fridge and complete all the necessary paperwork for it to be legal, you'll be on the radar of pretty much every single three and four-letter agency in your country.

Not just the obvious ones (checking if you aren't selling plutonium or making a dirty bomb), but also health agencies (what if it leaks and someone eats it?), environmental agencies (what if it leaks and gets into groundwater?), child protective services (are you really storing nuclear material in reach of children?!), drug enforcement (are these parties near your "glo fridge" legal and above board?)...

On the bright side, as the joke goes, being on the radar of government agencies is a good way to deter criminals from robbing your house.
