> The mayor of Miami literally bought a billboard right now begging people to go to his city.

Going on a bit of a tangent here, but I moved to central FL a couple years ago and I tend to browse jobs from time to time just to see whats around me, so while I don't live in Miami, specifically, I have looked around. Looking at Florida is weird, compared to some other places I've been, the market in FL seems rather disappointing, in both the quality and variety of tech jobs in the state. I feel like career wise, it'd be better off to go back to GA or NC. Culturally Miami seems past it's prime as well. You never really here much about or here about people talking wanting to move there like you do most of the other cosmopolitan US cities or even cities in the Midwest and South. I'll give south FL one thing though, the area sparked a great underground rap scene in the 2010s.
There are more people leaving California each year than being born in it. The study in the article focuses on movement between 2019-20. I’m not sure if they’re addressing the question the right way, as 2020 was a pretty unusual year and this has been going on for quite some time.
The misinformation about Prop. 47 is stunning to me. It did not change anything relating to violent crime, nor did it make petty theft legal. Petty theft is still punishable by jail time. Robbery is still a felony.

What it actually did is raise the line between misdemeanor and felony theft from $450 to $950.

What the?
So... The proposed mitigation is to use multiple top-level domains. At the same time, third party cookies probably won't be around much longer and already don't work for some browsers, so if you want to share state between pages, you need them to be on the same domain (but can be subdomains). There is no winning scenario here.
IIRC East Asians don’t count toward diversity number.
keep history just as a changelog to see when and what was changed? or something with versions you actively can revert to? I suppose one of the problems is that changing schema is usually interleaved with some sorts of data migrations and conversion and those I have no idea how to track without using some general scripting language, like migrations in many frameworks which are already there.
I don't think efficiency is a relevant factor because laypeople, by definition, are only learning about this stuff out of curiosity. It's not going to be used for anything. If you efficiently or inefficiently learn stuff you're not going to use I don't see what the difference is.
Kinda related, this is the first "bionic" tech that I'm interested in--basically embedded AirPods Max. I think it's interesting because it's not really out of reach. It's just a matter of putting current tech into bodies.
HN has forced me to improve my choice-of-words and tact when responding critically or engaging in argumentation.

If this were the natural state of large cities, it wouldn't require government regulation (better run cities) to accomplish.
> Re the movement of electrons: in fact they move very slowly on average under the influence of an electric field, but by their "bouncing against" their neighbours, the electric impulse is transmitted quickly through the conductor.

When you apply a voltage across a conductor it generates an electric field, and the electric field propagates at the speed of light (it’s an EM wave). I could be wrong, but I think that is why the electric impulse transmits quickly even though the drift velocity is so slow.
You mean other than Microsoft's WordStar converter, wsconv.exe?
It's a stupid fad where you can "own" a digital asset (jack's first tweet in this case) using blockchain tech. People are comparing it to owning a physical asset, like an original painting by Leonardo da Vinci, but that's nonsense.
It just depends on the org. Some places let engineers make these decisions, and some places like that also have OKR/KPI/whatever structure that encourages dark patterns.
No clue, I just picked a random not super mainstream language as an example.

I'm sure vscode is terrible for Delphi, but I'm willing to bet that the experience (with whatever third party plugins exist) will be better than any jetbrains product.
That’s an interesting way to look at it. I can kind of see that. Thanks!
The offer is done through a smart contact and cannot be placed if you don't have the money.

1630 Ethereum isn't that unlikely, Ethereum was worth ~$120 last March so that's only ~$200k. That's probably nothing for the CEO of a cryptocurrency company (https://nitter.dark.fail/sinaEstavi)
> Watts are a measure of energy, just different units than calories or BTU.

Sorry to be pedantic, but watts are a unit of power, not energy. Power is energy divided by time. The unit of energy is a joule (or, more commonly in household terms, a Watt-hour).
Why dark pattern? It seems it's like online sales, something a person would be doing back when you had to tell someone you where terminating your membership with anything. It's just now all online, and IMHO a few screens is better than answering someone's questions, granted it can still be annoying.
As a Detroiter I'm curios to hear why you think Detroit went the way it did.
Is this the best year?

One that stands out for me is my Surface Pro Tablet. I really like having a full-pc OS in a really portable format, and I've been using it to draw.

I'm using it to substitute for an 18-inch laptop that I used to carry around, to fight fires if something came up on a road trip or something. I can even carry this thing motorcycling, which is what I was after.
I recall that the "“But none for the little boy who cries in the lane.” was the form I heard as a child and I wasn't alive in the mid-eighteenth century...
You're required to link your Web3 wallet to use it. I've not inspected their smart contact but it's probably safe to say these bets are real.
...This actually happens in the downtown of literally every major metro in the US because the US is terrible at dealing with the underlying issues that lead to this sort of thing as a whole.

Just because you haven't exposed yourself to it nor seen about it in disgusting sensationalist shitshow that is media in the US doesn't mean it isn't happening.
I've recently learned that my procrastination is an emotion issue. It turns out that I don't like processing bad outcomes, so, ironically, my brain figures if it just doesn't do something then I'll never have to deal with the outcome.

That, of course, is a logical fallacy. I procrastinate doing taxes because I don't want to find out I owe a bunch of money, but not filing them will have even worse outcomes.

I literally have to convince myself that it's better for me to find out bad news sooner rather than later and that worse outcomes will happen if I don't do something.

I've started using a whiteboard and adding items that need to be done. I can replace the fear of bad news by a good feeling of checking something off the todo list on the whiteboard. I'm trying to train myself to get a good feeling from getting things done to overcome the fear the drives my procrastination.
Fun little project I made, trying to automate the creation of those "1 second everyday" style videos and used FFmpeg to achieve this: https://github.com/umaar/video-everyday
Since Ethereum's price is a moving target that's 1630 Eth.
As a country we've decided that the suitable response to children regularly being mass murdered in schools is to train children to expect being mass murdered in school. A similar abandonment on the subject of homeless is hardly surprising.
No, it's not symbolic, just the opposite, it's Orwellian newspeak/totalitarianism.

By your very own words: ""diverse" is just an HR term of art that means "black, Hispanic, or female"", i.e. a completely subjective, odd, and contextual local moralism.

The problem is that these folks believe that any 'questioning' of their methods or approach are in fact 'questioning' of the underlying positive impetus of their motivation (i.e. we all agree 'not being racist' is good, but that doesn't mean we have to buy into any specific moralisms about diversity).

But anyone who asks that kind of question in an interview is either a clown or a pill-swallowing victim, and it's definitely a massive 'Red Flag' in that you're entering into a dystopian social nightmare where you'll need special help 'interpreting' thew Newspeak.

People from outside the West are already having enough trouble keeping up with the basic PC stuff, this is getting ridiculous.

It's a sign of social decay, and that SF has 'peaked' in terms of it's relative importance. Thanks to COVID, the rise of China, Trumpian foreign policy which has engendered a lot of mistrust, the 'decentralization' has begun in earnest.

I work with developers in E. Europe and 20 years ago they would have jumped at the chance to move to the US, now they have a strong preference for staying home - the only motivation is money, but since there's massive Purchase Power differential, even their low salaries offer them fairly high standard of living - and their economies are growing consistently 4-7%/year.

The story really is not about 'people leaving SF' - it's about 'The End of Short-lived SF Mecca'.

Note that SF proper was not a 'centre' of anything really until about 2010: Google, FB etc. are all 'Valley'companies, not until the rise of Twitter, Salesforce, Stripe did we see 'SF Values' come to start to infiltrate the definition of 'Silicon Valley'. The Bay will remain important, possibly even the 'most' important, but much like broad relative US decline (i.e. 40% of global GDP in 1960, 25% today), the relative influence will wane. The 2010's were 'peak SF'.

Edit: I should add - a regular from outside the Angloshpere upon hearing the question 'what have you done to support diversity' would basically be baffled and probably have no real idea what the interviewer was asking. I don't think many Americans in these situations realize how hyper-American (at very least Anglo/American or Western) these kinds of things are. Imagine asking that question of someone from Hong Kong, Delhi, or god forbid the true capital of 'complicated diversity', Lebanon.
If the name were “Critical” or “Crit” I should have no objections (though it would probably fail other SEO tests, and I might ask what that has to do with notetaking).

“Critical Notes,” however, is close enough in domain and sound to “Critical Role” for legitimate questions to be raised. There is already a cottage industry of puns on the “Critical Role” name in the D&D fanbase. This would seem quite likely to be another one of them.
Surely there is a better way to address malicious content than blocking the entire domain.

It also doesn't seem like sites like Facebook, Reddit, Youtube, Google photos, etc. run into this problem, even though they allow user uploaded content so there is some kind of bias against smaller companies.

That's a blast from the past, I remember it also ran under TRSDOS and NEWDOS-80 on my Tandy TRS-80.
Airline Passenger Data Breached
An equal, by some metrics greater, growth in living standards occurred in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam. The great success of the CCP was getting out of the Chinese people’s way.
The digital already has the concept of ownership (like DMCA?). What's new is that the enforcement is also digital.
That's a very high limit for simple theft, so now simple theft is what occurs the most. Why would anyone commit felonies or robberies when they can just walk in and take below that limit without any enforcement or consequence?

Making crime easier to commit doesn't reduce crime.
The almost perfect Vim support is why I pay for JetBrains’ AppCode over xCode. Second I simply don’t think I’d be able to code both Java and Swift without having a similar workflow between IDEs. To me the development experience makes the difference between loving or hating the work.
also why the hell was jimmytucson's comment here downvoted to dead and flagged? are people really that ignorant about the inevitability of a recession? business cycles are called cycles for a reason folks.
Honestly, the Turbojet video is one of the less interesting videos on his channel in my opinion. The others are MUCH better.
This looks like a would-be competitor to Protolabs, though in a more niche market.

Interesting to see more people in this space.
Yes, but to support it _and_ name your app “Critical Notes”... danger danger.
The link for this post has the full wikipedia, just not in a very readable form. I believe the grandparent comment was saying that wikipedia is a summary of original material such as books and scholarly articles.
I'm the same - editing remote code is required - full stop.
Of course, VS goes further.. But all I really needed was remote projects with intellisense. Remote debugging, git, and everything else are just bonus.

I run my editor on my desktop, and expect to be able to work on whatever remote server I need to.
Building islands would be cool too. Didn’t Dubiai (sp) do that?
This exactly.

People are so distracted by the gradual erosion of wealth caused by the magic money printer that they fail to appreciate the risk of rapid devaluation triggered by political and social disintegration.

Check out what happened to the exchange value of the ruble after the collapse of the USSR, and that wasn't even caused by losing a war.

The last two decades, and especially the last year, should be telling us that our political, financial, technological and social systems and supply chains have become brittle.

I'd guess that the probability of a USSR-style collapse of one or more large western nations in the next five years is in the low double digits.
A faster/lighter JetBrains IDE would beat everything in VSCode... except for price. CLion and WebStorm and PhpStorm cost money, there's no dedicated Rust IDE yet, and you have to pay money for CLion or (IntelliJ Ultimate) (not Community) to debug Rust programs.
the concept of antifragility would like to have a word with your thesis.
Since one of the people who's implicitly agreeing is the owner of the tweet and CEO of the platform, I find that gives it a decent amount of credence.
If someone is addicted to drugs they don't get to just stop doing drugs without a lot of work on their part and usually a lot of outside help. If someone has addiction issues you can't just give them a job offer and assume all their problems are solved. No matter how thankful or earnest they are in moments of sobriety their addiction tends to have an overwhelming hold over their behavior.

Addiction is not just an idle habit you kick with some perseverance and self control.
It lost all it's industry
For the last couple of years, I've been increasingly doing that for Science Fiction and Fantasy: Reading primarily recently published books, often Hugo nominees published the year before.

This is another genre where lots of connaisseurs insist on a canon that one absolutely has to have read, but (a) the field has considerably expanded its range of perspectives in recent years and (b) many of the "canon" writers just cannot measure up to the literary quality of contemporary authors (doubtlessly in part due to the audience to which they catered, and the industrial writing process many of them were forced into).
I battled with this a lot with https://github.com/umaar/video-everyday and still haven't found a better solution.

What I don't understand is, how can professional video editing tools trim accurately (and very quickly)? What are they doing differently to ffmpeg?

If do things the "fast way" with ffmpeg, the exported video has random black frames which I think is related to the keyframe issue you mention. If I do things the "slow way" (e.g. accurately) with ffmpeg, it takes a huge amount of time (at least with large 4k videos). But I don't understand how I can drop that same 4k video into Screenflow, trim 1 second out of it and export it in a matter of seconds.
There's a lot of engines I've never heard of here, but my new Subaru Outback has a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) which isn't represented here which is somewhat disappointing
Maybe I’m too far gone, because that doesn’t seem very dark to me. But to answer the question:

- I buy into the idea that distribution/retention can often make or break a product.
- I personally find almost all sales and retention techniques annoying.
- Since it works, and I’ll have to implement some form of it, I don’t see much difference in which specific form it is, unless it’s really obviously scammy. What’s the difference in annoying people when they unsubscribe vs annoying people with Facebook ads? As long as they ultimately have a choice whether we get their money or not, it’s the same to me.

I can honestly say if you gave me the choice between extra retention pages vs sitting through video ads for example, I’d take the former without hesitation. So are ads a dark pattern? I’m sure some on HN would say so.

A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction? [pdf]
Yep, UK based.

I also did a physics undergrad (in person) and can attest that most of the classes these days are theory-based. Lots of maths; Quantum Mechanics is all maths, Nuclear/Particle is all theoretical/computational (though at the point of masters/PhD you would get to fire lasers at real things, I never did though). I did have one experimental lab class where we practiced measurements of various sorts, but that was maybe 10-20% of the first couple years. You could take different electives that emphasize experimental physics more, but the theory is plenty deep to keep you busy without compromising. So if you want to learn quantum physics or stellar nuclear physics for example you don’t need a lab at all.

People think overlooking petty crimes should be the norm, but they're ignorant to the long term impacts and complain when their cities turn into Gotham City without Batman.

Cities cut overall violent crime rates significantly in past decades by applying logic from the broken windows theory[1]. The real reason this works is bc a significant amount of crime is carried out by a very small number of individuals...and enforcing more penalties increases the chances police will scoop up a portion of those individuals. The unfortunate downside of this strategy is that some people (that aren't in that category) face overly harsh consequences in relation to their crime. New versions of this should be tried to try and minimize that from happening.

It should be expected that taking the complete opposite approach would likely lead to much more than a slight increase in petty crimes. Buy hey it sounds good initially and wins votes on the left so why wouldn't they

You don’t lose it completely. It rusts over, but I had occasion recently to resurrect my 6502 assembler, and it was still in muscle memory.

I witnessed a theft last week where a fellow just walked out with a load of merchandise whilst paying customers counted their coins. The initial social response among the bystanders and customers was alarm. "What just happened!?" Employees responded: "Let it go, it happens all the time."

The impact on the "social bond" of society became suddenly clarified. We live in a lawless society. Those that follow the laws are fools pantomiming a voided social contract in outdated custom.
I agree 100%, I have a deep respect for those doing a degree at their own pace and along side a 9-5. I loved studying at uni but I don’t think I could sustain that.
"Allowing new housing to be built to satisfy demand."

No they don't.

Switzerland is one of the most conservative places on Earth, at least culturally, and they have super strict rules on what you can build.

The issue has little to do with NIMBYISM really. SF is a relatively popular destination, it's going to be really, really hard to keep people on the very bottom end of the scale in housing there.

Vancouver 'built built built' and didn't make a dent in affordability - just the opposite, it's one of the most unnafordable places on earth.
I’ve thought about this quite carefully, and I’m convinced we need to kick California out of the union. There is too big of an impedance mismatch with the rest of the country, and it creates and exports too much economic inequality.

The usual retort to this is “what will you do without California’s economic engine?” And that’s a fair point—America without California will be less wealthy. But that will be fine; and in fact probably better. Think about it. People reminisce about the 1950s and 1960s as the good times. What did America look like back then? It looked a lot more like Iowa. Poorer than California on average, but economically flat with a low ceiling (few high income people) and a high floor (few really poor people). There are few upper middle class people (very little knowledge industry jobs) and consequently very little of the ecosystem that upper middle class people bring with them (housing, retail, restaurants, etc., that are unaffordable to normal people). Upper middle class people are what drive malaise among the rest of the population.

People in places like San Francisco, Portland, etc., complain about the tech industry people moving in. And the response of tech industry people is “hey, we’re not billionaire, we’re working stiffs like everyone else.” Jeff Bezos might have oodles of money, but it’s just on paper. He’s not buying enough houses to move the market prices. It’s Amazon engineers that are buying houses with their high salaries in sufficient numbers to drive up property prices. And as a result, people can’t afford to live and raise kids where they grew up. And that imposes devastating costs on middle class people. For middle class people for whom child care is a major expense, being able to drop the kids off at their grandparents regularly is a huge boon economically and socially. (Remember, the median American adult lives less than 18 miles from their mom.) Then comes all the other stuff. The corner burger joint is replaced by a fancy one that charges $18 for a cheeseburger. The diner where you can get a $1.00 coffee is replaced by a fancy coffee that charges $5.00 for a coffee. Conveniences and frivolities become far more expensive. The local gymnastics studio where you can send your kid twice a week to get her out of your hair doubles it’s prices. Etc. Jeff Bezos, by contrast, has no impact on any of that.

I think the natives complaining about the influx of high income professionals actually perceive the reality correctly. Most of them aren’t qualified for high paying jobs at Google and Facebook anyway. These industries moving in won’t help them in that regard. It will simply create a large contingent of people who can now outbid them on access to fixed resources, which will make their lives worse.
Name a tech company with an office in the Tenderloin.
In my proposed device, the field lines are uniform and the single species ions all orbit identically. They are able to follow their entire cyclotron trajectory, and all these trajectories intersect the same area at the same time.

Penning traps are known for their excellent containment characteristics in all directions, but the maximum density of a non-neutral plasma is not usually sufficient for fusion to occur before the Brillouin limit is reached.

My device exceeds the Brillouin limit only for short periods of time, but in a way that might be able to oscillate stably.
