Consider how much of a health cost there is to being sick with malaria? Preventing a case of malaria is likely to have a much more positive effects (compounded into the far future) than doubling the donation in the future. Especially that malaria is a transmittable disease: lower the population of those carrying malaria, you have fewer malaria cases in the future.

Prevention often costs far less than curing. Look at the positive effects of smallpox eradication!
WinRAR is much easier to use than 7-zip in my experience. PeaZIP is easier than both, but WinRAR still wins on the "you don't actually need to know what a zip file is" point. It's both a blessing and a curse though - I've had a couple of situations where people were running portable programs from zip files and promptly losing their work once they closed WinRAR.
From the Wikipedia:

> In mid-2011, one design objective was matching fuel burn of the 737 MAX to that of the Airbus A320neo's 15% fuel-burn advantage. The initial 737 Max reduction was 10–12%; it was later enhanced to 14.5%. The fan was widened from 61 in (150 cm) to 69.4 in (176 cm) by raising the nose gear and placing the engine higher and forward. The split winglet added 1–1.5% fuel burn reduction, a re-lofted tail cone added an additional 1% reduction. Electronically controlling the bleed air system improved efficiency. The new engine casings included chevrons, similar to those of the Boeing 787, which also helped to reduce engine noise.[100]

But yes, mostly the engines.
I have heard that risk, of bleeding. But people in my family tend to be killed by heart problems, not by bleeding. So it seems to me like the right trade off. As far as I know, none of my ancestors died from bleeding related issues.
hosts file is only usefull to blackhole domain NAMES not endpoints. also you have to keep it updated.
Macro photography in my limited experience is as much about technique as equipment. No matter the camera, with that level of magnification you have to stack the images to get that much of the subject in focus. You can increase the depth of focus using the Scheimpflug principle and a smaller aperture, but there are real physical limits to how much. Decreasing the diameter of the aperture is limited by diffraction -- the image becomes less sharp even if more is in focus.
Can anyone be 100% sure that downtime is avoided during maintenance windows?
Please define tracking. That term can mean many, many different things. Also, ads-free is completely different and orthogonal from tracking-free.

Anyway, then the follow up question would be: if ads-free search is what you want, why would you pay for it, instead of using various adblock ?
Focus stacking is indeed done with a DSLR most of the time. You cannot get nearly enough DOF at this scale with any kind of lens.

The author can do it from video because he has a 6K camera, and that is actually way easier compared to manually taking 160 separate shots + changing focus for each of them (you need specialized hardware for that, most cameras will give you a dozen shots at most due to coarse focus increments).
No. That's the point of focus stacking. However, using a still camera, you eliminate a lot of the work that was added because this was video.
7zip for sure has. It actually supports it for more than just 7z format.

In all seriousness, public art is how science and government present ideas. How planets are depicted, or not, modifies public behavior and thinking towards science. I do not want to see public art be used to promote one team of scientists over another[1] as they fight for naming rights to objects. The Swedish Solar System seems to have taken a very neutral stance on naming conventions, addressing most objects only by given name. It should stay that way.

[1] "Planetary scientists" v. "Astronomers" as to who gets to classify objects. It is two increasingly different teams.

the comment you're replying to was pointing out that using a camcorder and extracting stills from the video is a PITA, and it would be more straightforward to use a DSLR that can simply take stills. and they're right, but if the blackmagic was all this fellow had... well, it clearly worked well and a DSLR or mirrorless would've cost a few hundred dollars more.

since he was using a 3D printed adapter instead of buying one for $10, i can only assume he blew his entire budget on the blackmagic hardware.
People buy cheap prints of the Mona Lisa all the time. I think that is just what you did.
Have had good and bad interviews. The good ones are where the team is friendly and polite, and ask reasonable questions (if you don't get them right, then it's objectively on you due to lack of preparation or knowledge, no harm done).

I had one bad one where the CTO was a straight-up ass. Very critical attitude, and didn't hesitate to disparage the architectural techniques that I professed aptitude in. To his partial credit, he warmed to me as the interview went on, but it was quite unprofessional and gave off a sense of superiority.
You just learn as you go. For something like SQL, unless they’re doing something doing a query that’s never been done before , the majority of one’s issues is a Google search away of a function or thing they didn’t know they could do before.

I never make it a task to know completely what a language could do. I just try to familiarize my self with the basics (syntax) it’s novelty features (the reason why it even exists as opposed to other solutions) and pray what I think the best solution for a given problem is doable via research (Google & Stackoverflow)
I read that as New Jersey too! I was hoping we'd find out about ancient american metallurgy.
One thing I am very careful about now is to try to keep offer terms from being a surprise.

If I know what to expect comp- and offer-wise earlier, then an exploding offer is just the culmination of the weeks of lead-up and thinking on it.

But sometimes recruiters don't want to give you that until offer stage. Other times, it's not so hard to get.
The funding is particularly for AI exploration, but we are building out a strong foundation of modern analog design tooling in julia as well. If the AI works like we hope, it'll be a nice bonus for situations where it is applicable, but I think there is plenty of opportunity to provide value even without it.
There are niche uses, mostly with some forms of file sharing with limited file size. For example email attachments, but not only this.
I can attest first-hand to the "headache" that comes from semi company simulation environments. Not only are they horribly outdated (in Perl/Tcl), but they're different at every company you work at. There's no gold standard because the standard that these EDA companies ought to be making doesn't exist.

There needs to be an open initiative between semi companies to create a standard simulation environment -- with compilers, unit-test frameworks, and all sorts of simulation (gate-level, analog/mixed signal, emulation, etc). Hell, just give me a free IDE plugin for SystemVerilog that actually works.

This lack of a standard seems to me like the critical path in hardware design. I'm trying to support projects to fix this like SVLS (A language server for SystemVerilog: https://github.com/dalance/svls) but these are all hard problems to solve. This industry is relatively niche and doesn't seem to have many engineers interested in FOSS.
I have 1 year of experience (not at a FAANG) and I get 3 recruiters a week through LinkedIn. And beyond a casual resume screening, they are direct to interview.

The problem is that 95% of users are awesome but 5% are VERY aggressive and angry.

The amount of people that personally attack you and accuse you of horrible things should be zero.

I've also seen users personally using our forums to try to get the software for free and complaining it costs too much money.

As soon as it's clear that one of the developers is listening they go quiet but it's super disheartening when your community, which should be supporting you, feels so entitled.

I have never found interview process to be reflective of the company.

> Lack of a clear direction on where the company is headed

Unless you're joining as an exec or a high level architect position, you are just a mere rank and file pleb in the company. At that point, its important to know if your manager has enough social capital to get you the right opportunities to grow, rather than looking for companies "vision" and all the buzz words they throw at you.
> Ironically, as far as I'm concerned, excellent poetry _is_ about as close as writing gets to "pure ideas" (or at the very least pure emotion).

Depends on the time period. I wouldn't exactly say that T. S. Eliot's poetry was about pure idea (or pure emotion). He did revel a lot in the fact that he was very educated and the readers are probably less so. Still a canonical author though.
7zip does not properly handle japanese character sets on Windows. Winrar does, though you have to specify the language.

Not OP but I'll answer for myself:

The short answer here is because people need money/help now. People in crisis can't wait 10/20/30/50 years for you to donate.

This is not a judgment, I respect your choices, but many of us donate out of a sense of urgency, and we understand the tradeoffs and the sacrifices involved.

I'd rather give now and help now, even if that means I don't come out as far ahead in the end, than wait to see if I can give (and/or keep) more later.

That said, what you propose certainly works too, and every effort to help is a good effort, but it has it's own drawbacks.
It's the truth. The truth cannot be absurd.

As for running your own servers, that too can fail meaning you still need a migration strategy (even just to new hardware) and you need to be testing it constantly.

And no, the benefit of a cloud provider isn't that normal stuff is easy or cheap but that otherwise impossible stuff can be attempted.
How do you figure? You take a single image, then move the camera or adjust focus, lather, rinse, repeat. In video, you do the same thing, except now you have to process each video clip to get export the single frame.

I was about to reply a little snarkily that I was doing this with zip archives on floppy disks back in the 90s. I thought I might as well check my facts before posting, and it looks like that was a part of WinZip that was not part of the standard.

In 2015 ISO published a standard pertaining to zip archives, and one of the specifications was (from Wikipedia):

Archives may not span multiple volumes or be segmented.

There are also multiple forum posts when you search for multipart zip archives of Linux users asking how to decompress them, suggesting that this is only WinZip behaviour and not common to the zip standard.
It's really underappreciated how the health care and retirement systems in the United States cause people to stay in shitty jobs. Sure, these are expensive programs to run but there is a huge benefit to larger companies. Employees are desperately afraid of losing their benefits - mostly health care - so they will put up with low wage growth, bad bosses, bad conditions, just to keep what they have. People generally value stability, especially once they have a family, and this is not so subtly taken advantage of at every turn.

Besides making individuals captive to their jobs I also think it really hurts our economy. Big corporations have the money to pay for these programs but small companies do not which really hurts them when looking for employees. My personal bugaboo is that the lack of wage growth and economic dynamism the past few decades is heavily influenced by this.

TLDR: making big corporations the only reliable place to get good health care and retirement benefits in the United States is a massive policy failure.
TIL about Georgists, thanks.

Regarding whether it's "pretty limited", yes and no, imo:

Yes, compared to, say, the size of a continent, the amount of new land is tiny.

However, new land is usually made in highly sought-after (high-density, high-value etc) areas [citation needed]. So it would make better sense to compare the surface of the new land to the surface of the adjacent area.

For example, the polders in the Netherlands significantly augment the country's surface. The artificial islands in Tokyo Bay significantly add to the real estate of the harbour. The artificial islands in Dubai and Bahrain significantly add to the coastline.

I think that this is enough for OP's analogy between domain parking and land speculation to reasonably stand.
Companies tend to use it and buy new licenses due to the same inertia you mentioned. Although the more cost conscious will at some point switch to the free alternatives.
You know, that kind of thinking is usually what deters me from building something, but I've come to realize that I (or HN crowd for that matter) is my customer.

A quick glance at the Plex site vs his shows a different appeal. One is a "Free Movies & TV" something, while the other is "Like YouTube for videos on your computer"

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way :-) I'm not picking on you or on plex or anything... I'm just wanted to point out how the thinking patter of "but you can do that with [enter FOSS name here]" has been often paralyzing for me.
Multicore is almost entirely backwards compatible with stock OCaml.

One issue is C libraries that use so-called naked pointers but these are discouraged anyway and 4.12 ships a detector to find these: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ann-a-dynamic-checker-for-detect...

There are also two functions on the Obj module which aren't supported because they're unsafe to do concurrently. These are clearly marked as "not for the casual user" so their use is relatively rare.

With regards to performance, you can find a fairly detailed analysis in our ICFP 20 paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.11663 In short, the impact is 3-4% across those benchmarks.

You can grab the current multicore compiler on https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/ocaml-multicore and give it a spin to see, today.
You didn't address this:

> or copy it to multiple flash drives or CDs

How would you use 'split' without either dumping the whole archive on disk or pluggin all drives at the same time?
Of course I would.
Yes it does. It is called PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) and that's what this graph uses.

There are of course concerns about housing costs etc, but you simply can't be arguing that there is no meaningful conclusion we can reach when we learn that a person lives on less than $3/day. You for sure know they don't have the luxuries available to those who live on $100/day.
> instead I've been re-visiting and re-working the code into a form that is upstreamable, as well as building tools and chipping away at little details. It's a lot of yak shaving

This is exactly what needs to be done to make this a viable project, and leaving this stuff out is, for me at least, what categorizes Correlium's project as a mere publicity stunt rather than a serious porting effort.
Alternately, UBI allows you to quit your job, move to WV and pay $200 for rent.

What constrains your landlord from jacking up rent is competition. If he jacks up rent by $200 but the landlord across the street has an empty apartment he'd be glad to rent out for $1000 he'll think twice about jacking your rent.

The housing crisis in America is a supply issue. UBI has nothing to do with it.

Inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon. If they pay for UBI with deficit spending it might crank up inflation, but if it's fully funded it won't.

I just recently created my own substack publishing account. I wanted to blog something, former medium user from years ago, and i thought, i heard substack > medium let me try that. And I definitely got that "self publishing" vibe I remember from years ago trying to publish books. I mean don't get me wrong the substack experience was flawless. With just my twitter account I had the same type of thing my hero's blog from! But, at the end of the day I knew this was just like medium but a better deal for the writer. And I knew this was a website, where anyone can sign up. It's so weird that stigma of "being self published" was a real thing in 2005, 2006, 2007... somewhere around 2019 it faded away. Now serious writers are self published too.
The last one is different from the rest, but not in a way that is especially relevant I think. No one is confusing the private sector with a right to privacy. The rest seem to me to have an obvious common thread, and it should be possible to make arguments general to all of them even if there are meaningful specific differences. The question is when are you willing to declare it illegal to disclose facts about another person, because in some sense that person owns facts about themselves. When are you willing to declare it utterly socially unacceptable? I'm willing to accept that there may be cases where the answers to these questions differ, but there should be principles common to all scenarios.
We have to go back.
It would not affect at all. Flipped bits / transmit errors have no avalanche effect, unless the bit was flipped in the encryption module.
The newer episode, which I linked to in the grandparent of your comment, is also fascinating.
I've been working in the industry for 25 years. I've never received even 5 minutes of training on how to interview people, yet I've been asked to interview people dozens of times. This is everywhere from small companies up to huge Fortune 100 companies. The skill set to be an effective programmer and to be an effective interviewer are not the same. But, I don't do interviewing often enough that I've felt the need to seek out specific training on how to do it. So I basically end up winging it when I'm asked to participate in another interview.
Duolingo is a lousy way to learn a language, but it's great for vocabulary practice. It also teaches typing on a phone keyboard, which is a great skill for languages that use a non-latin charset.

Having these handy might help with some of the gotchas if you forget while using it.
No, it's called DDoS'ing, at least for threat model that I'm referring to.

The user just near about doxx'd themselves by all the OSINT that was available. That's not particularly interesting. Trolling with IRL effects is a the better peer as well, in that case. It's also similar to malicious pop-ups in a browser, but a browser never had the life-governance abilities that a smart phone has now.

What is interesting, from an exploit dev standpoint, is that in a sense you can DDoS someone's life by overwhelming their human data intake systems of notification-based services, which they use to govern their own behaviors.

Think of this in terms of a notification == a connection, and human == router.

* Baseline: 5 notifications per hour -> parseable by a human with 1 brain and a single iphone to triage them. No discernable effect on ability to rely on other key notifications (calendar alerts, banking messages, so on).

* Elevated from baseline: 5 notifications per 10 mins: odd, but still parseable, maybe calendar alerts and watching for an important email take a back seat.

* Malicious DDoS: 5 notifications per minute, on repeat: you don't know what's going on, it is overwhelming, you can't particularly turn off a phone because you still need the calendar app, and so on.

When the notification system, taken in aggregate, is providing some key service to how a person runs their life, overwhelming that system is a DDoS.

Another vector: many calendars such as Gcal and especially with recreational users, allow appointments to be dropped onto the calendar. This is a common sales tactic too. Generate N appointments, overwhelm a calendar, and it's up to the user to remove malicious appointments manually vs. a very bulk, automated appointment attack. DDoS as well.
Everybody is raging about the price here, and unfortunately I also have a rather negative take.

And it's about YC in general.

Wasn't YC about building the next billion dollar company? I have restrained myself from applying because my ideas and projects were rather indie-devvy smaller things and I felt like for YC I need to low key change an industry.

Is YC also the incubator for menu bar widgets now? What does that speak about YC?
Great question!

BASE, SHARE (https://share.osf.io/), and CORE (https://core.ac.uk) all primarily pull metadata via OAI-PMH, though they may also incorporate other sources these days. We have worked with CORE to check content overlap. We have also done our own OAI-PMH bulk scraping and broad preservation crawling, but most of this content has not ended up indexed in fatcat yet.

The main reason that we haven't done bulk imports from OAI-PMH directly or from any of these sources is that we haven't gotten a handle on the metadata quality yet. There are many, many duplicate records out there, and we think it is important to merge these correctly (under "work" entities in fatcat). Until recently we didn't have a mechanism to fuzzy-match new records to prevent duplicate creation. Once we get a policy figured out and polish the de-dupe code, we expect to significantly increase the amount of content in the catalog from these sources.

Another thing we haven't figured out yet is accurately tagging OAI-PMH feeds as journals (eg, OJS instances) vs. institutional repositories or subject repositories. That distinction will change how we classify imported records (eg, "published" versions vs. "pre-print" or "manuscript").
As a ham, my thoughts exactly. Probably with a lot less talk about ailments, the weather, and antennas though.
Educate them if you can. Whenever I see someone using crapware like bandicam I give them a link to OBS Studio and briefly describe its advantages. Same for winrar and 7zip. They usually don't know any better and were using whatever everyone else was using.

Oh, now I see why you’d think that. That would be insane.

No, you record a single video while moving focus and export each frame - that’s what makes it easier.
