Ask HN: What no-code tools are you using?
There is so much hype about no-code tools. Are you using any? Do you use no-code tools for apps creating or data analysis?
Chia Green Paper [pdf]
Exactly.

It is just mediocre design.
This is a matter of perspective/degree.

HBO Max is not a really small-scale thing. AT&T is one of the largest ISPs in the nation, and anyone who's looked at the direction that consolidation goes in scenarios like this where giant companies start favoring their content -- anyone who looks at the historical trends there should be worried. Amazon didn't fundamentally break the Ebook market in 3 years but there were clear warning signs.

This is an issue that has had very predictable consequences, that has resulted in mergers that have observably made US Internet worse, and that is following the historical trends of vertical integration and market squeezing that you see in traditional anticompetitive environments. It's about as big of an issue as most other free-market/competition problems that the US is struggling with.

But all of that is small scale if you have bigger fish to fry like a global pandemic, or a resurgence of white nationalism, or widespread political corruption, or genocide in China, or a public war on voting rights. I'll concede, today in 2021, net neutrality is not currently the biggest issue that the US is facing. Honestly, there is no market issue in the US that compares to that stuff: not right to repair, not net neutrality, not DMCA takedowns on Twitch, not tech consolidation, not Oracle trying to copyright APIs, not Bitcoin energy usage.

But there was a little bit of naivety back when net neutrality was a big deal. We didn't know that we were going to spend an entire year watching half a million people die. That doesn't mean that net neutrality wasn't a big deal or that it hasn't had tangible effects. The US Internet market is really bad, and there's every indication that it's going to get worse.

But sure, US ISPs are not going to kill half a million people in a single year. If that's the threshold for what is a real issue, then there's almost no tech-topic that qualifies as a real issue. But nothing about the scale of problem is different. It's just that we're more aware now of how much of the US is just fundamentally broken.
ML is a system that takes a large data set, and an error function, and finds a generated output that minimizes the loss. What data set and error function are you proposing for "RNG"?
In French[1] (2014) linking to a Bloomberg link behind a paywall[2].

There's no evidence that they have done anything like this yet, but they at least considered it and their privacy policies allows it as soon as they decide it's worth it. And you wouldn't necessarily know it.

Just because a company's marketing says they respect your privacy doesn't mean they do, especially when their privacy policy says they can.

For most residential users, Comcast and Time Warner are de facto government. It's fallacious to invoke some hypothetically distinct threat of "government control" when that control is already here and deploying DPI gear.
It's funny how there are regional differences in how to avoid the postage fees. I remember friends switching sender and recipient on the letter and then not using any stamps instead. (Not that I ever tried that myself.) I had never heard of the glue trick. :D

Oh, I was thinking specifically about avoiding traffic jams as they happen, which requires some kind of online connection.

The raspberry pi project looks interesting, though.
I do.

Habit shapes creation.

I use an SE and naturally design & build for it. (Plug: https://mro.name/ShaarliOS)

But when a former 500K ipa (objc) becomes a ~70MB upload (swift) that makes >300MB traffic submitting, you clearly know the culture behind it is not sustainable and has no future.

Apple doesn't care about the low end. Not in developer tools, not in OS (weekly big sur updates in the GBs) and so that's what designers get used to. Apple sells hardware. Software and services is the bait.

Those who do care are a few opinionated geeks. Not the mainstream, not where the money is.

Are you holding the risk of non-payment or does the contractor still own that risk?
it sounds like there was two things that happened:

1. What you said. Two bots that lacked controls and interacted with eachother. which may have been accidental

2. A rogue employee intentionally using those bots to fake volume on a specific currency pair. This is actually malicious.
What you're hitting on is the difference between sympathy and empathy. Both have a role in helping people.

"I'm sorry to hear that" = sympathy

"It sounds like you're exhausted by that." = empathy

Notice the noun in those sentences: first one is you, second one is them.

What matters is what we say after those, too. There's a big difference between, "It sounds like you're exhausted that. [Solution proposal]" and "It sounds like you're exhausted by that. [Pause, wait for them to expound]"

Proposing solutions can have a role, and is a form of caring. But only if we get permission for it first, and do so in a rubber-duck way (ex "what have you already tried to fix that?")
> Anecdotally: I've never seen a "simple state machine" or "simple behaviour tree" in game AI.

That's effectively what game AIs are, today. Users want an AI they can model and simulate in their head, and isn't too brutal of a challenge. Today's machine learning cannot provide a model like that.
You can change the speed to 2x currently.
As someone who sits at the opposite end (way to empathetic) I can share this:

I read once that bending your neck down (like when you look at your phone) lowers empathy. So to raise empathy practice looking up. This sounds like bs at first to me but when you think about it there's probably something to it as you look down at people beneath you and up at people above you. I find those towards the bottom of totem poles tend to be more empathetic (on average).

In parts of Boston you have to basically consider the rightmost lane the "temporary parking" lane. It's pointless to try to drive in it because every block will be two or three cars or vans parked making deliveries or picking people up.

The actual parking spots are full of residents' cars which haven't moved since the last street sweeping or snow ban.

To top it off, many/most streets are one way, meaning, cars will be "double-parked" in the left lane too. Fortunately our streets are 3-4 lanes wide so there's still room for actual traffic.

I used to try to bike on these streets (which are also full of potholes). I'm surprised I'm still alive.

Here's a great example on Boylston Street in 2016: https://goo.gl/maps/PQgtntVNYzgq98wcA Note the bicyclist up ahead who just had to navigate that. Spin around to see the Dunbar truck double-parked on the left side.

Same spot, 2019: https://goo.gl/maps/fb6k6i6HQUizpoKc8 This time the car's on the opposite side of the street. But spin around to see both a city bus and a huge SUV double-parked at the same spot.

(City buses often have to double-park either due to construction or just because some cars parked in the bus area.)

Of course when we are lucky to get bike lanes they are often treated as "double parking" lanes.

Tickets are handed out but they are treated as the cost of doing business. It's rare to see a delivery truck driving around without a ticket stashed under windshield wiper.

Having driven in streets like this most of my life is the reason I feel it is the ultimate hubris for Elon or anyone to think they can solve full self driving without also solving AGI.
Does anyone know any details about the engineering and design teams at Telegram? Encryption qualms aside, the UX and performance of Telegram is so far ahead of WhatsApp, Facebook and Signal that it's quite mindboggling.

Is there any reason why a behemoth like Facebook is unable to achieve similar levels of polish? Is it a cultural issue, bureaucracy or a fundamental difference in the attitudes of developers in Eastern Europe vs those in the United States?

I mean, it wasn’t that much chaos, for most people. If you’re in the middle of a riot, sure, but otherwise? Trump’s election was dramatic but it was hardly show stopping.
You say "even Google Maps", and something surprised me when I explored their SDK. So I don't know about Android, but the Google Maps SDK on iOS does not use the iOS widgets. They draw everything themselves. Integrating Google Maps is a pain, because standard layout techniques don't work (for example for labels on markers). The whole thing felt really ancient.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that it didn't work as expected.
>Once you scale you will no longer afford to use AWS and have to colocate your own hardware, along with entirely reimplementing your stack to use open source software.

More companies are moving to the cloud from managed colo than the inverse. For example, companies like Uber and Adobe has been moving from their own datacenters to AWS. Even dinosaurs like Disney have moved to the cloud.

Anyone who saves a significant amount of money running their own DCs vs uses the cloud either has significant security requirements or is the in the business of selling infrastructure (ex. Dropbox)
> I know the intention is to discomfit the reader by making them identify with a horrible character, so...

That's not the intent of the author. Nabokov has absolutely no moral or social points to make.

I didn't realize this until I read Eugene Onegin, which I take as the genesis of Nabokov's general perspective. Onegin is funny and ironic while still being emotionally affecting. Nabokov is much more in the "art for art's sake" camp than most people today are comfortable with.
Well, I believe the authors do their best to convey their ideas, but due to the fact that the notation is mostly informal it's easy to miss details. Also, different institutes might use their own special notation to describe the same ideas and even individual authors prefer some notation over another.

All in all, imprecise probably was the wrong term. The statements are precise for the people working in this specific "bubble" of research, because they might know the implicit assumptions made and in the worst case, the only one who knows the implicit assumptions is the author.
I'm hearing impaired. The visual channel contains useful information for people like me, at least when there's adequate framerate and quality. (I have a feeling something like this synthesized video is going to be an anti-pattern for accessibility though in practice.)

Motion Graphics, Animation, Advertising. In the last ten years a lot of small studios popped up because the technology and gear was getting cheaper and cheaper. Now most of the smaller studios can do a lot of grunt work or advertising but are not getting invites on bidings on "real" vfx work because the new technologies got expensive again... it's basically a cycle that follows an diffusion curve.

If you are a homeowner, you can tap a home equity line of credit for maintenance projects. Homeowners that can't get a HELOC because of credit issues are going to be a credit risk for the contractor.
Here are the rest of the points for anyone who doesn't make it to the product page:

- Longer cut than most short shapes provides more fork insertion points, improves forkability

- Bucatini half-tube + ruffles create a "sauce trough" for max sauceability

- Bronze die extrusion creates a rougher surface, further boosting sauceability

- Right angles (rare in pasta shapes) resist bite force from all directions, maximize toothsinkability

- Slight variations in thickness + ruffles = multiple textures in each bite (which sensory scientists call "dynamic contrast")
You're correct; I myself still have an iPhone 8. But I tend to think of problems I experience on my iPhone 8 as "being gradually left behind by an ecosystem that has moved on", rather than as "not being supported." (Like how it feels to try to use Windows 8.1 in 2021. It’s not technically End-of-Life’d... but do third-party devs even mention it on download-page compatibility lists any more?)

With an iPhone 8, I know I'm the one "at fault" at this point for sticking with this device, stuck on the wrong side of an inflection point in screen size/resolution from the introduction of "edge" displays all across the ecosystem. I might expect Apple themselves to tune their first-party apps for my device for as long as they claim to support it; but I don’t expect App Store devs to do so. They’re shipping cross-platform designs on a tight schedule, for screens that are almost-exclusively twice as large and high-resolution as mine.

The iPhone SE case is more concerning, because it's still for sale at the Apple Store. This means Apple is claiming it's fit-for-purpose for at least some use-cases. (Maybe that claim doesn't extend to "running apps from the App Store", though.)

I feel like, at this point, the SE is almost the same as the iPod Touch—it's not a thing you get to take advantage of the Apple app ecosystem; it's more a thing you get to either use Apple's first-party apps for basic use-cases, or because it's a very cheap automated development smoke-test deploy target (roughly the iOS equivalent of a Mac Mini.)
In the history of Bitcoin apart from the very early days it was always better just get the money you wanted to spend on rig/energy and just buy and hold BTC, unless you wanted to do mining very hands-on.
Adding to this, there is a specific kind of meditation you could try called metta (aka loving-kindness) where you focus on cultivating benevolence towards yourself and all things. During a session you follow a similar sequence: first focus on cultivating loving-kindness towards yourself (since this is the base from where empathy grows) then you gradually extend it to people you love out to people who you have difficulty with. If mindfulness is an exercise to train your mind to observe itself, metta trains your mind to observe other minds.

Also second Rosenberg's book. It can come across as condescending if applied too heavily but it's a great analysis on language during conflict.
Huh? Plenty of CVEs found in C/C++ codebases were introduced decades before they were discovered. In fact, it seems to me that the older a C/C++ codebase is (especially C++), the more bugs is has, simply because improved coding practices and "modern C++" features have a far greater impact than amount of user feedback and experience. But best practices and modern C++ features are just a poor man's (semi-effective) borrow checker. ;-)

More seriously. I agree that you can't call rust-coreutils mature yet. But over time maintenance on it will probably be considerably easier and if it ever gets popular enough to be thoroughly battle-tested, it almost certainly will be more reliable and secure. In addition, odds are that even if still immature, it already has fewer serious bugs. Especially memory safety, but also in things like string-handling since C++ -- and especially C -- string handling is notoriously difficult to get right. Then again, maybe not, since coreutils and presumably also rust-coreutils take the stupid approach that strings are just streams of bytes and there's relatively little the Rust std and compiler can do to fix that mess. Oh, wait! Actually it can help a bit by allowing you to be "flexible" in your interface but also parse and validate at the interface, then use better abstractions internally.

Case in point: OpenSSH vs rustls: OpenSSH is a lot older than rustls, has been extensively battle-tested by a very expert community, has been audited, fuzzed, etc to a significant degree, and we're still now starting to see security experts advising using rustls in stead of openssh, or projects deciding to switch to rustls because rustls is likely (and according to a growing body of real-world experience and evidence) less buggy and more secure than openssh. (And as a bonus it's also faster.) Not all of openssh's issues are due to the language, and neither is rustls's choice of language the only reason for its reliability. But in both cases the implementation language does play a crucial role in their security and reliability.
Awesome little game.

Super minimalistic UI.

The habits and reflexes it embeds while you play is a kind of management and awareness of "spending" your limited attention and a furious trying to figure out and model how things work and fit together.

It really gave quite a pleasant buzz.

It has all these little sub-games that keep getting added without explanation, you try to make sense as it unfolds, trying to figure out how each bit works and how it interacts with what you have so far.

There are multiple goals and you keep having to choose based on super incomplete understanding what to aim at and focus on next.

It was also quite humourous in a dark, sardonic way: you establish world peace at some stage (as a subgoal of increasing global paperclip production), only to eradicate the entire humam race a while later (to increase solar-system wide paperclip production).

Loved it!
It's easy to extrapolate people's motivations and beliefs, aka jump to conclusions, because you think you understand what you're hearing. Instead, take in and verify what they're saying without agreeing or disagreeing. When you say non-judgmentally "I'm hearing that you think/feel/experienced ...", you'll be amazed how often they tell you that you misunderstood. That's totally fine, because they'll correct you, and after a few rounds of that you'll really get where they're coming from and they'll know it, which is what empathy's all about. You don't need or want to take on their feelings and beliefs though, because integrity is an important part of empathy. So a respectful "that's really important to you"-like comment again makes them feel understood without in the least compromising your own principles. Once you and they both are certain you get where they're coming form, then the conversation can move on from there as appropriate.
Chuck Palahniuk takes this to the next level. I agree that it is kinda frustrating. I think of the novel then as more of a tour of a mind, and not as a historical record of some sequence of occurrences. Besides, I prefer non-fiction for the latter style.

Avoid immature unempathic communications and behaviours: "Lots of trash answers. All of them in fact!"

Instead:

1) The Golden Rule: Treat others as you'd yourself want to be treated. This is an ever-evolving loop of growth and learning throughout your life. You are never finished!

2) In job, service, family, nearly everywhere, people respond better to you when your behaviour and communications reflect the same shared goal. What might those goals be. As with #1 this is also a life-long quest.

3) As you gain better responses with people or get to know people better, you might consider asking for information, how to do stuff, help or start leading new initiatives.

At the same time, it is important to realize how the responsibility areas work within your organization, and avoid taking on work that you shouldn't take on!

Does this sound libelous to you, and do you have evidence supporting this? Even AWS's response didn't allege Parler "systematically allowed illegal behavior".
This looks like a nice and concise library. Single header file, many useful functions, and a usable license. The only thing I really dislike are all of the typedefs.

Prednisone, and it definitely altered my personality significantly. I also ordered $400 worth of RC quadcopter parts, and spent 8 hours straight sanding off and re-polishing the top surface of my eyeglass lenses to get rid of the anti-reflective coating that was cracked and pitted.

In the month leading up to that, interactions at work were also giving me anxiety bordering on panic attacks, like a visceral fight-or-flight response. That turned out to be my atrioventricular nerves progressively failing, such that my heart ventricles were beating slower and asynchronously from my natural pulse rate. I got down to 21 beats per minute at one point, and everyone at the hospital was amazed I was walking around and smiling rather than
on the ground unconsciouss.

I'm pretty much back to 100% now, and as an embedded software engineer, I am horrified to be able to say that I'm bluetooth enabled.
