Yes, it can be done. It likely won't produce the results you hope for because other people have already done it (the game has already changed to account for this product). It could still be a good resume booster.
It’s interesting to think about some of these terms in the article and their meaning from the SaaS company perspective or the Customer perspective. Because many times the terms are different based on who you are.

Eg

“Value based pricing” seems to be a term from the perspective of the Saas company because there’s an unlimited amount your customer can spend with you. From a Customer POV I’d say “seat based pricing” is the true “value” because you have fixed predictable spend.
Things I Misunderstood About Kotlin Coroutine Cancellations and Exceptions
Shouldn't the evidence for claims be important, rather than the fact that you do or don't know someone?
Is that something used on web sites? I've only heard of that in emails. What purpose would that server to a site you're already visiting?
That's exactly why we don't need "regulatory compliance" but straight up break up monopolies into multiple independent companies like what should be done in this case here.
"We're determined to have improved OO syntax in a future release, and we'd love that to be v8, but we don't want to hold up this plan because OO needs time to mature."

I wonder what this means. Especially if signatures are on by default, the OO syntax is pretty straightforward already, with most boilerplate gone. Like:

package Some::Object {
sub new ( $class, $args = {} ) {
bless $args, $class;
}
}
It's likely that even if the pandemic is over vaccination still will need to be done for years to come (to prevent a new pan-/epidemic).

It's also likely that people on all sides of the contract thought that it will be more or less over at that point in time and the clause exists solely to prevent governments from just never declaring the pandemic from being over.

I also doubt that a clause like that is actually legal, tbh.

But hey maybe I'm just to optimistic.
Almost every paper I've been a part of. Some of us will do a few independently, but if we want to use LHC data it has to include everyone on the collaboration on the author list.
Imagine the bot would be actually good at it and the human on the other side falls in love with it. Only to later find out it was a machine all along. Depending on the mental stability of this human, the results may be devastating.
But at least we have a bot that passes a turing test.

Sorry, but when you dropped "The US gov is behind the private sector in computing software and hardware by over a decade (and has been for a while)" you lost all credibility. This is just completely inaccurate. Why even have classified programs if they're DECADES behind? Furthermore, I'd take a closer examination on who is funding the academics and reaping the benefits of the research. What an armchair comment.
Guam is a long-held US territory (stretching back to the Spanish-American War) that was occupied by the Japanese during WW2. It would be strange for the US military to not maintain a base there.
It wasn't popular on here last time I said it, but Google has won the web. Time to move on.

Also - Google is the natural result of the Silicon Valley business model. You got what you wanted!
it opens by presenting unconnected things and then trying to say they all have a common cause - the drug its marketing

it them goes on to question authority and saying any care that does work is ineffective by likening it all to a different failure

it then proposes a solution to a different problem once again marketing its own drug.

yet it presents literally no positive evidence for its drug.

This is standard bs

'For 25 years, ivermectin has been distributed free in 19 African countries to control parasites. Is it a coincidence that those countries had 28 percent fewer COVID deaths and 8 percent fewer cases than 35 other African nations? Is it a coincidence that the 240-million-resident Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which distributes free ivermectin, has a COVID death rate that is one-sixtieth that of the United States’? '

without a shred of evidence it is at best vague correlation, certainly not causative ... so is it even coincidence?

Are there places it is being used where it has no effect. Does this drug in those places effect some other factor that increases rate of infection - such as the illnesses it treats which arn't causative factors elsewhere?
I started a new project in Perl a couple of years ago precisely because it has remained stable and without breaking changes for all this time.

It's a feature, not a bug, that the language has remained stable and backwards compatible all this time.

I switched away from PHP (except for a few glue shims) because on several occasions they made changes which broke my shit when the web host I was using upgraded.

I want a language which doesn't cause me extra worry and inconvenience with breakage, I do enough of it already by myself.

I am so grateful for Perl, can't speak of it highly enough. It takes an amazing, WISE community to resist the shimmering temptation of breaking compatibility for so many years.
It doesn't. But the "particular text file" is a huge chunk of Wikipedia, so whatever you come up with isn't going to be as "highly specific" as you'd think.
Hi HN!

I'm excited to share this project with you all today. It's still in beta, but with positive notes from early users I wanted to open it up to the community.

Pallet is a mobile-first machine learning platform that enables you to instantly turn computer vision models into shareable apps, and access them anytime from a single interface.

As an application developer, I was drawn to deep learning for computer vision for the seemingly magical feature of giving everyday apps the ability to "see". However, while there are a number of resources that can teach you how to build & train deep learning models for object recognition tasks, I've found far fewer resources that facilitate deploying those same models as real-world apps. There are even a handful of amazing "no-code" applications for developing image classification models, like Lobe.ai [1] or Google Cloud's AutoML Vision [2], but no comparable applications for deployment.

Moreover, given how fast the ML world has been moving the last few years, it can be a challenge to not only keep up with state of the art models, but understand how to use them in practice.

In an effort to make this tech a bit more accessible, I started building Pallet to automate hosting, serving, integrating, and updating models targeted for mobile devices.

With Pallet you can:

• Deploy custom machine learning models to mobile without code, and try them in the real world,

• Share a link to any model with one tap,

• Make predictions with state-of-the-art models anytime, and

• Explore a number of models made by the ML community

It's a first step towards simplifying the process of building, deploying, and sharing custom AI-enabled apps, particularly for individual developers, machine learning engineers, students, and data scientists.

Right now the platform supports pretty much any TensorFlow image classification model with a standard signature (including those you can export from the aforementioned platforms), and you can find the Android app in the Play Store [3]. With more time and resources, I plan to improve framework and platform support.

I'd love to hear any and all feedback in the comments, or ping me on Twitter @PalletML. Thanks!

I know of a couple SV startups that went from <100 employees to a couple hundred during the pandemic. Which means that these companies are now essentially distributed across the country and the employees have mostly never met each other in person. I can’t imagine these companies forcing their new workforce to move to SV so they are almost forced to be fully remote going forward.

As an aside, I kind of really like working in central time for a company operating in pacific time. Works well for my sleep schedule and gives me a couple hours of pure productivity in the morning before the rest of the company “wakes up.”

This article paints a very clear picture of who is making the complaints without specifically saying it.

'One particularly vocal tenant, a non-Hispanic white woman with short blond hair who appeared to be in her fifties, claimed that smoke from the tires was killing nearby trees and that traffic from the gathering would make it impossible for an ambulance to reach her in the event of a medical emergency (though two other roads to the apartment building remain accessible at all times). Another Weaver resident voiced more generalized criticism, calling the event a “display of toxic masculinity.”'

[/quote]

I think they only stopped short of saying her name starts with a K and rhymes with "Aaron". My knee jerk reaction is why do people move somewhere and immediately try to change a place to their set of values? Are they just fundamentally unhappy people?

Despite what seems like an over-reaction from this person this sort of struggle with cars is nothing new especially in Texas. The Cars And Coffee thing is pretty big down here, and while I do love cars I have mixed feelings about C&C for a few reasons. Typically you have a subset of the group that does engage in very dangerous maneuvers on public roads. There are enough youtube videos of people doing dumb things in cars going badly that Im sure most of you are aware of it. Typically its more of an age related than race related problem as young kids and cars with 3-800 horsepower are a recipe for trouble. I dont really go to C&C events for this reason.
EDIT TO MAKE MORE CLEAR-
This seems to be aimed more at the the people complaining about slab/lowrider/people of color car culture. Those folks should be called out (the Karens for the sake of bevity). That should not be conflated, however, with people doing burnouts and other dumb things with cars. This is anti social behavior and should be policed if it is out of control. Of course the archetype that is discussed in this article is known for blowing things out of proportion, so without actually having been there who knows. I personally love how Texas can be such a melting pot with rich culture from all walks of life and there is very real concern about how the great migration from California will pan out.
I remember fantasizing about the perfect employer that would make all the problems go away. Then every time I got to what I thought was the “real” good place, I ended up seeing the same things. But also your comment is not really replying to OP

The microSD cards usually just get damaged when writes are happening (and this increases with power fluctuation e.g. when you are powering a witless-adapter, zigbee dongle with the Pi). Very likely if you run something like HomeAssistant.

The best way to avoid this (without having a pci-e ssd connected to the Pi) is booting from a read-only FS on the SD card and then mounting a USB connected SSD for writing data.

If you want to have a "fake" R/W system take a look at https://yagrebu.net/unix/rpi-overlay.md which is a R-only FS which writes changes into RAM only. I run my PIs with that.
Yeah, I think that's not quite right. I think the main selling point of Node has always been that it's Javascript and thus you can use the same language, and people, to do both frontend and backend development. Node is not fast and it's not trying to compete with compiled language in that regard.

They're all based on chromium though. That gives Google a lot of leverage because every time these projects decide to do something different from upstream it adds to the maintenance burden.

If Google decides to make some fundamental changes to their core engine that would make, say, ad blocking a lot more difficult, would the other chromium-based browsers deep-fork the entire codebase to keep ad blockers working while at the same time integrating the new features as fast as possible in order to remain competitive with Chrome?

Microsoft has the resources to do it, but they may not care. Brave and Vivaldi would almost certainly care, but they may not have the resources to do it.

I could spend all day criticizing Mozilla but I'll use Firefox to the bitter end because of this. In the end there are only three engines in widespread use these days: Chrom(e|ium), WebKit/Safari and Gecko. As far as I know Safari is irrelevant outside of Mac world, so losing Gecko would be terrible for the open web.
Right, the contract with the EU alone explains why they fail to meet their commitments, have trouble with the manufacturing plant, screw up the dosing in the trials, and don't promptly provide proper paperwork to authorities during at basically all stages of the process.

Must have been some contract...

Google's Fuchsia is remarkably similar to this.

I am hopeful, but for some unfounded reason I'm giving it equal chances of suffering from structural failure when that happens and dumping shipping containers into the canal.

I was able to find news reports of the canal being dredged in 2015 but nothing since then.

edit: I see that they've already had one high tide opportunity which did not dislodge the vessel. From your tide chart link, I can see that the tides get progressively deeper until the end of the month, but that is a long time to be stuck there.
I personally think that the effort to create open source phones is the single most important technology project going on out there. We have open source browsers, we have open source social apps, but we definitely do not have open source phones. Phones that can be truly owned and controlled by users will reshape the privacy discourse, from one of complaining and legal coercion, to one of choices and markets.

I'll be a little more specific with my advice, so it may or may not help. This advice is for front-end application development.

Learn Angular. Not react, not vue, not svelte.

Angular may not be the best, fastest, or most popular web framework out there but it is a comprehensive, well documented framework. This is tremendously beneficial to avoiding JavaScript burnout, as you're not constantly fighting with different library changes and upgrades. Those other libraries are great but I feel for your needs this is the best place to start.

In going the Angular path you'll also learn Typescript which, love it or hate it, is a popular modern language here to stay.

You could also chuck in SCSS if you're interested in programatic CSS.

Again, not the most conventual advice but a good possible direction.
I would never work in an office again. The one good thing about covid is that it definitely transitioned us away from and industrial revolution model to the Information Age.
It is already modern. The Perl community has boldly remained committed to compatibility over chasing the shiny and breaking shit, unlike many others (coughphpcough), which is why I chose Perl for a new project a couple years ago.

I don't WANT so-called modernization. I want my program to remain working without having to change. it
I would guess something that allows defining classes in a way that resembles Moo or Moose.
Personally, I've come to really dislike test names like "test_refresh_failure". They tell you what component is being tested, but not what kind of behavior is expected. Which can lead to a whole lot unnecessary confusion (or bugs) when you're trying to maintain a test whose implementation is difficult to understand, or if you're not sure it's asserting the right things.

It also encourages tests that do too much. If the test is named "test_refresh", well, it says right there in the name that it's a test for any old generic refresh behavior. So why not just keep dumping assertions in there?

I'm much more happy with names like, "test_displays_error_message_when_refresh_times_out". Right there, you know exactly what's being verified, because it's been written in plain English. Which means you can recognize a buggy test implementation when you see it, and you know what behavior you're supposed to be restoring if the test breaks, and you are prepared to recognize an erroneously passing test, and all sorts of useful things like that.
I would upvote this comment a hundred times if I could. I had got a Node project in my previous gig and I hated it every minute. The team got immensely productive when we migrated it to Golang.

In the times of RESTful APIs and µServices, is there really a need for node? JVM, C#, Elixir, Golang etc provide excellent development experience and are battle tested the way single-threaded Node just hasn't been.

Straw man what I'm saying, sure, very HN of you.
This. Recently I had a discussion with a neighbor who owns the multi-apartment building next to our house about that very topic. All around our in our quarter, old buildings get renovated or torn down and rebuilt. Small bakeries close and the whole neighborhood is somewhat changing.

And then it struck me. 7 years ago we built our house here, in what used to be a slot of an old small factory. In the middle of buildings with smaller apartments, mostly rented out. And there we come, young well of couple building a house for us on a land plot large enough for, what, 6-8 appartments. In a sense, we were the first ones, or at least among the first ones.

That doesn't work.

If you make the tickets non-transferrable, then it prevents last minute ticket swaps, and will piss off people and cause a PR nightmare. Plus you have to deal with fake IDs, expired IDs, name changes, etc. And many events cater to people who'd rather not have their legal names associated with an event for a wide variety of reasons.

If you want them to be transferrable, then you have to set up an exchange like Burning Man did to manage them, and it requires a ton of staff overhead that takes away from dealing with the event itself. And creates the risk that a database full of your attendees personal information could get hacked.

I can't speak for Ticketmaster, as I have not used it very much, and none of the events I listed use it either.

Head count makes sense in some spaces/products. I shouldn't have been so definitive. However, the units of measure used should always be something the target enterprise understands. For example, the company I work for in healthcare prices contracts by number of beds, which is a number ever hospital understands. Im so glad I don't have to tell someone that they can't be added to use the product cause their seats are maxed out.
And in a decade they'll complain that the area has lost all its former charm, move to another town and rinse and repeat.
They can't but they probably try to argue that since it's not "not a valid vaccine" in the EU it's "not affected by export controls".

Through I think that isn't going anywhere outside of bureaucracy, it's still a valid export controlled vaccine just not produced in a valid way.

But then if the pandemic would have been mostly over by now they would probably have gotten away with it.

AstraZeneca consistently makes more than $3B in net income every year, $5B last year.

EU paid 1.78€ per dose. Even if AstraZeneca loses money on every dose, let's say it costs them 20% more to produce, that's only some ~65M€ loss on the EU order. The hypothetical loss is a rounding error to their bottom line, while the damage already incurred to the brand image and goodwill is colossal.
The given, when, then breakdown is interesting, though I've never seen language test utilities actually enforce that structure. Maybe an interesting potential experiment (regardless of language) ?

I feel like your last point is especially important. Sooooo many times have I seen over-abstracted unit tests that are unreadable and are impossible to reason about, because somebody decided that they needed to be concise (which they don't).

I'd much rather tests be excessively verbose and obvious/straightforward than over abstracted. It also avoids gigantic test helper functions that have a million flags depending on small variations in desired test behaviour...
