I've definitely had my femininity attacked in an openly hostile manner. Often. When I was in junior high and high school, I thought women were the lesser sex and eschewed girly hobbies and clothing in favor of more masculine things. No dresses, no makeup, I cooked in order to eat, nothing fancy. I hung out with the guys and played video games. It wasn't until the last 5 years or so that I realized I could wear skirts out shopping and work a blue collar job during the week. I know masculinity is under attack in many circles, but it's quite the claim to say that femininity is less so.
It may well be a good trade off. I'm just pointing out that there is never a way to be completely free from whoever is paying the bills.
As soon as the girl got off instead of continuing to drag the child under it, it would have stopped. It probably wouldn't have completely stopped it from happening but it certainly would have improved the outcome.

Blame is infinitely divisible the fact that parents share some blame doesn't reduce the companies fault one iota.

Effectively both share the full sum of blame and we ought to both educate parents and force companies to make safer goods.
You get to run in a clean, climate controlled environment with near zero risk of body injury. Plus with all the covid lockdowns, this is one of the best cardio you can get.
Wouldn't it be especially inelegant/inefficient to try and wire synapses for, say, a seven-dimensional cross-referencing system, when have to actually physically locate the synapses for this system in three-dimensional space?

(and when the neocortex that does most of the processing with this data is actually closer to a very thin, almost two-dimensional manifold wrapped around the sulci)

There has to be an information-theory connection between the physical form and the dimensionality of the memory lookup, even if they aren't referring to precisely the same thing, right?
I was just playing with Grafana a few days ago, their cloud version. When you install agent, it opens up ports with unprotected metrics on a public IP. Opens up ports on your production without info about it whatsoever, because it is in theory a push agent. Why would you do that?

Support response:

"Regarding your second message about port 12345 on the Grafana Agent -- the HTTP server only exposes the Agent's internal metrics and provides an API for the Agent's status. The gRPC server is used for agents to communicate with one another, if the scraping service is used. It does not allow anyone to get access to their metrics.

That said there's we understand the concern and upon review will look at documenting that agents listen on 0.0.0.0 by default, and that you can change it by setting http_listen_address and grpc_listen_address in the Agent's server config to 127.0.0.1: (...)"

Also, sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who is not comfortable in running tons of untrusted docker containers. If I put a link to a binary here and tell you to run it, I doubt any HN reader would. But 400MB of binaries? No worries, I have just the right tools to run them as root.
What does that mean? Like, we want the Facebook mods to delete anything that's too depressing? Sounds more dystopian rather than less... and I thought we were supposed to be worried about "duck syndrome" where everyone appears to be having great lives, making you feel bad, because you don't see the negatives (like a duck paddling underwater, see?).
No true human?

Just have to define colonize and human in a way that makes your argument work.
> I write English with greater fluency than my native language at this point, but reaching this level took thousands of hours that could have been spent solving problems and building things.

There was the idea of Esperanto as everyone's second language, so that everyone could talk to everyone with 1/10 of the effort most people now spend learning English, but... it worked about as well as trying to convince people to leave Facebook while everyone else is there.
>So I'm eager to understand if this is done to stop people from copying from the site

Disabling right-click for this purpose is like a lock on the front door to your house. It only keeps the honest person at bay. If I want to see the details of the site, there's no stopping DevTools. Hiding images div backgrounds or under click blocking divs is just a mere inconvenience. If the browser is displaying it, it can be gotten to in DevTools
Do you typically go read a synopsis of the entire plot of a film, including any surprise developments, before watching it?

> You can see in the video the peloton jogs the motor in an attempt to free the obstruction. I presume the initial feature is to unjam a off track belt.

Which seems like an incredible misfeature to me. You can see how quickly it gets going from a standstill two or three times in the video - even _if_ someone were on the treadmill (and not under it), that's exactly not the behavior you want.
Thanks for your kind words. Perhaps what you say is true. I'm not sure I'm qualified (ironically) to say.

What I can say is that the time, the sacrifice, and then the crappy marketing ploys (no one tells you about that). It's real hard work. It's really hard when you get nothing for all your efforts.

I know a 2nd book would be easier. But it still would take a lot of time. Probably 3-4 years.

Potentially in... a while... I might write again. I am full of ideas. But honestly I'd rather build IT stuff right now. Programming is my new love.

Don't get me wrong there is a real beauty in writing. But, well there is a lot to life. And I'd like to explore different things. There's a ton of creativity in IT.

I can always start writing again when I'm 55/60. I actually don't think it's a young man's activity. There's no money in it either.

But yeah, sitting in the sun during my twilight years... writing. Sounds great.
There wasn't any limitation from the mechanical perspective. The AI did a nearly perfect job of recognizing notes. I don't know exactly why it missed some notes, but my hypothesis is that it was the speed of notes in quick succession. If I do a follow up video with Jon Bot Jovi, I'll dig into it more!
Having a severely unperforming, and sometimes belligerent, employee that couldn't be fired because of HR reasons. His work was horrible, and his responses to feedback was to become hostile.

Not only was he dead weight, he destroyed the team's morale and hurt their relationships with other teams. The team looked to me to solve the issue and couldn't understand why he wasn't being fired, and I couldn't tell them "I'm not allowed to fire him".

I spent months working with him on improvement plans, coaching, and mediating with no improvement, and in the end managed to shake him off in a RIF.

I stayed long enough to repair the team's morale and strengthen the hiring process, and then quit as I had completely lost faith in the company.
Your version is so much cooler. It’s more like what I had in my head but wasn’t able to accomplish :)
I really don't think that is similar at all. The proverbial daughter is desperate to regain some sort of lost connection with a dying parent before it is too late. Maybe she feels that she needs to make up for all the care and attention she didn't give while the parent was healthy. Maybe she is in shock for not realizing the situation earlier.

How is this like a programmer switching jobs?
maybe it prevents the driver from breaking the speed limit :)
I really dislike the use of "conspiracy theory" as a thought stopper. Conspiracies and other underhanded behavior absolutely does exist. The FBI has an entire conspiracy division dedicated to organized crime.

The conspiracy theories that people usually mean by that term are the silly ridiculous ones like Qanon, outlandish "secret space program" stuff, we didn't land on the moon, etc.
It looks like HN drops the fragment (#) for submission URLs, but the format of the link works in comments:

For me the issue is figuring out what is even quality. It feels like a lot of the time all options are meh or the feature set I want just doesn't exist.
Lol challenging Boston Dynamics would be awesome
At some point the treadmill actually spits the kid out. It reverses the speed for like one, two seconds when the kid was jammed and everything had stopped, but then it starts going back in its original direction and the kid gets sucked back in before he has time to get clear.
Is it really just a "fight for status among males"?

If you don't correct someone, I only see two possibilities:

1. The topic is so worthless (to you) it doesn't matter if they're wrong.

2. They are so worthless (to you) it's not worth correcting them on an important topic.

2b. They lack the intelligence (IQ or EQ) to grow from being corrected.

Of course, a some of the time this is right.

Yes there's also a chance that you're wrong (in which case correcting them may result in you being corrected, or at least a potentially fruitful discussion), but the same would apply - is the topic and person worthwhile the chance of upsetting a thin-skinned idiot?
So the issue is that the fingerprinting code can detect the anti-fingerprinting code? Doesn't that mean the best solution is for everyone to override the same functions with the same dummy information?
The subject is pretty clearly more complex than just "having" an "opinion". That's a pretty common defense with no explicit argument provided - it's often abbreviated to "wrongthink". It's essentially a victim mentality that eschews real consideration.
When my parents were children, everyone heated their houses with an open fire, and if you did something wrong on any day it would kill you. When I was a child, we had a boiler which was perfectly safe so long as you paid someone to service it once a year. Pretty much all the things my parents grew up with had no safety features, pretty much all the things I grew up with did.

We have moved to a society where things are expected to be safe except for a number of well known exceptions, and this is good:

"It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments. " Alfred North Whitehead

As technologists it is our business to know and understand the consequences of the mechanisms we build. We value greater understanding and perception. But it is a mistake to project this value system onto society as a whole, since, as the quote shows, the worth of what we build is precisely to allow others to avoid this burden. That applies in safety as much as anything else. As technologists we can see that if a device has a 500W motor in it , it bears thinking about whether there are any safety issues. But consumers rightly expect any safety issues to be pointed out to them.

What worries me is when companies are run by people who don't understand that all our safety is the result of a lot of work, and so don't realise the amount of diligence required.
I'm in this boat one hundred percent. Guess what happens when two hours a day isn't commuting. You spend more time with real friends rather than passing work acquaintances.
Yeah, it can go either way. The profit motive means private facilities have an incentive to charge for care as long as someone is willing to pay, even if there's not a 'real' long-term benefit. On the other hand, some of the scare tactics in the US that have been used against government-run health care is that some bureaucrat is "rationing" care, deciding when it's "worth" paying for a procedure, which is of course true.

Then again, as in the German model, there's nothing preventing you from paying out-of-pocket or acquiring additional private insurance coverage above what the state provides.

And of course it's a personal issue, how much money you are willing to spend and how much you are willing to undergo to prolong your life, however briefly.

As for pills, after too many decades of dependance and addiction, it's getting harder to get narcotics in the US (finally?)

I'm currently sitting with my leg up being iced after an ACL replacement surgery on Thursday. My prescription for an opiate is for 20 pills (3 days worth) and has no refills. As it runs out in a day, I've talked to my doctor, and it sounds possible-but-not-easy to get a new prescription, if necessary. I'm hoping to not need it, but it at least sounds possible if I do.
Your second sentence is the lie. It's actually a hypervisor that runs MS-DOS VMs, and thus quite close to Win3.x in enhanced mode, but the "system VM" is mostly still 16-bit code.

See the series of books by Andrew Schulman for details.
States are doing the allocation, so it may vary.

The last few weeks in Michigan, 2x as much vaccine per person has been going into the Detroit region than has been coming here. I don't really know what demand looks like here though. We could have a few hundred unused doses, while it appears there's tens of thousands in the counties around Detroit (but they also have much more capacity to administer).
A Go-playing robot would be sweet!

I think the biggest improvement for score would be implementing logic to hold down long notes and then implement star power at the ideal time. That would make a dramatic difference!
Very nice job. It would be interesting to see all of the sources put into a Nolan Chart:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart
I've been told this my entire life. People make statements like "everyone does X" and I say "really? I have literally never done X in my life and I know many people who say the exact same thing; in fact I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who does X" and the response is "yes, but you're different from everyone else. You and everyone you know are not like most people!" I find it extremely unconvincing.
There are tools for weekend warriors, and then there's tools for the "professional" built for daily use.

I often repeat the phrase "buy it nice, or buy it twice if not thrice". I've done the buy it cheap to get 'er done type of thing, and I've also bought the good item because it was going to make a shitty job that much easier.
I disagree. If facebook is testing content like this then they explicitly know which content makes people sad. To manipulate someone's feed to push them stuff that knowingly makes them sad for the purpose of experimenting with someone's emotions, that is highly unethical to me.

There is a massive difference in studying and directing traffic to help make traffic flow better. The goal there is to improve driving for everyone. Facebook's goal is to intentionally make people unhappy for the sole purpose of making more money.
Wow man that's an awesome story. Sounds like it was quite the ride. Thanks for sharing!
I like BIFL-type items for some categories of products, but not others.

Some of the recommended items are great. I love high-quality skillets, knives, rice cookers, etc.

For other items, I've seen an overly high focus on "specs" in the BIFL community, where the durability comes at the price of being uncomfortable and bulky. With shoes, it would be using X leather here, using Y sole stitching there, etc. By comparison, I want light-weight shoes with soft / no heel counter, that weigh less than the recommended leather bricks. The bloody blisters I got from "quality construction" forced me to figure out what I personally need in a shoe.
Winget is just garbage.

The simplest possible install scenario would be: unzip this file, and add to path.

To uninstall: delete this folder.

Microsoft's solution [0]: if your app is in a zip file, repackage it as a msix/whatever proprietary technology.

To this day, you still can't update, or even uninstall stuff with winget.

But guess what it had baked in since day one (literally the third commit) [1]?

Telemetry.

> As a computer programmer, you mostly receive negative feedback

FWIW there are different types of writing and different types of programming.

Writing copy for a bank will probably generate a lot of feedback about mistakes that need to be fixed.

Writing code to reduce annoying monotonous tasks for coworkers so it takes ten minutes instead of two hours will get you a lot thank yous from your coworkers, and will also brighten your day.

It's all about what your job is, and how close you are to the people you are affecting.
Thanks!! It was super challenging but it was a fun time and the payoff of it shredding was well worth it
Thank you for sharing these pictures. They clearly show the difference in height.

The Landice can be a threat for a pet or can grab/scratch a foot. The Peloton clearly/visible is higher and a small child can sneak or can be pulled under it.
Sounds like quite the nightmare. Was the person at least technically competent in their role?
> I do start to mind a bit when they expect me to do the same when that might not be what I want to do.

I definitely agree that it's annoying.
I'm not sure whether I constructed my argument properly, but it was about the average person being less productive due to working in a language that isn't second nature to them. German probably was second nature to von Neumann. In other words, by native I didn't necessarily mean the one and only mother tongue.
Maybe not so far-fetched. CA charges an ewaste recycling fee already when you purchase certain items.
In October, I ordered an AMD Thinkpad from Lenovo's online store. It arrived in January.
Local agricultural optimums in Northern Europe played a role too. How good was agriculture in the Parisian basin during the late Roman empire? Was it possible for farmers to get the iron implements and draft animals needed to make heavy soils productive?

Separating the Middle East/North Africa and Europe on the "dominant state" chart is an interesting choice, since the Roman Empire controlled most of both for centuries. Controlling a large portion of Europe is difficult unless you're a maritime-ish power with access to the Mediterranean.
Tax everything the amount it costs to clean up the pollution it causes, from electricity to food. 2 side effects: people will make things that produce less pollution, and people will make cleaning up pollution cheaper
Which resolutions are/were those monitors? I've only ever seen 5:4 monitors in 1280x1024, so a 16:9 monitor at 1920x1080 would give you slightly higher vertical resolution and some nice additional horizontal space.

Two windows side by side on 1280x1024 are 640 pixels wide each, on 1920x1080 three windows are the exact same width each, plus you get an additional 56 pixels of vertical resolution, so in fact more lines of text.

And of course once you go to 2560x1440 or 3840x2160, you either get oodles of space or sharper text, thanks to display scaling.
That is not the issue, the issue is that AMD advertise 2700x and 5950x with the same TDP, so at the very least that should means that they both work fine when using the same cooling solution, which is not the case. Using my previous cooler 5950x was throttling at 100 Celsius.
I just keep a GOGS instance that auto-mirrors youtube-DL these days now, so I always have a copy.
The Raspberry Pi is doing the blob detection!

In terms of 97% and why not 100%:

Yes, there is a way. You left them specifically opt in to it, you provide them disclosure documents of what's being tested, and you provide free access to mental health resources.
I had a pair of White Oak 501's, and honestly they were inferior to just about every other pair of Levi's I've owned. The denim was rough and coarse, and they ripped fairly quick.
I also like the idea of this more because it means you do not have to worry about URLs changing. FM channels changing are much more rare.
Agreed the sustained notes would be a bit of a programming annoyance, but if I had spent more time, I think I could have cracked it. I did get some MVP working for it but it was throwing some other things off, so I abandoned it in an effort to maximize accuracy.
All I care is a distributed text replication to all of the available platforms, with no lock-in and decent search. Standard notes does it perfectly.

Context menu? Not sure what would I be using it for. But then again it’s my mode of operation.

I also have Simplenote, which also works well, but the e2e encryption (and lack of account recovery!) is what attracts me to standard note.

About the plan. The point is: the free plan is absolutely perfect for me, and I choose to pay just to say thanks for a great product.

The only thing missing for me is ability to see multiple accounts merged in a single UI - that would allow very easy sharing of notes.

For that I use iCloud or simplenote.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Roblox is literally a game engine, the entire point is for people to create mini games and share them. That's basically all that Roblox is, if you go to the homepage it's just a list of games you can join.

And you can validly complain about the technical quality of tools like Scratch, but as much I personally hate to admit it, Scratch is more user friendly than Flash was. I personally know kids who are making stuff in Scratch that would not be able to handle Flash. It's extremely crude stuff, Scratch is ridiculously limited. But they're still making stuff and sharing it, and getting their friends involved in the process, and sharing hacks with each other to get around its limitations, and finding other projects that impress them and reading their source code.

I do get what you mean about Flash's technical side that made it interesting. I miss an animation-first workflow, I wish someone else would build a tool that experimented with that. There is definitely a hole in my game-dev process that Flash left behind. But in theory, you could still be using Animate today and exporting your games to HTML5. Nobody has explained to me what's broken about it.

But if everyone in the old Newgrounds scene moved to Animate, or if it was magically released for free tomorrow, would that bring back the community? I'm not sure it's that simple.

I don't think that kids stopped being creative when Flash went away. I think that people (myself included) who grew up on Flash got older, and the spaces are different now and we're not being invited to them. Which... I don't know if that's really a technological thing, or even necessarily a problem that needs to be solved. Were there really a ton of 35-40 year olds making stuff on Newgrounds back in the day? I am increasingly learning about community spaces from the kids I know that I would never stumble on by myself on the Internet. And they seem to be pretty vibrant, they're just not my spaces anymore.
What reason did HR give for you not being able to fire him? I think at least some members of the team would be understanding.

Also, I'm not sure if you tried this, but I've heard in cases where you can't fire someone, you recommend them for internal transfer and give the other manager good reviews of them. It's a bit scummy but it's the most positive outcome for the team.
