Using Docker to run the services they mentioned really isn't that complex and hardly requires maintenance. Using Docker Compose you can literally spin up and link those services together in just a few lines of YAML. Not sure what maintenance you are talking about either aside from sometimes bumping the version number.
Also remember how the CDC didn't advise wearing a mask for the first month or two of the pandemic? We came around to that, too.
The problem is more in the case that if you have access to the ground truth data, and use such a tool to create images without detectable faces, you can artificially create more testing data.
In the end this training data will be more robust, and the underlying method, like any form of CNN, will be able to generalize better.
Print debugging requires zero configuration. So, for "easy" debugging sessions, I will use print debugging (it does work using plain Vim!).

For more serious debugging, sure, a proper debugger is the way to go.

Green Health CBD Gummies – 50% off in the website
What is the specific originally felt that strikes a chord when you hear CBD edibles are ingested for wellbeing upgrades? You may feel that these are risky and, obviously, unlawful. However, luckily, CBD is legitimate under a couple of conditions. As indicated by the standards, CBD items got from hemp that comprises of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) have been legitimized on the government level. There have been numerous huge bits of examination on the impacts of such CBD items. In this way, these are sufficient evidences to essentially back up the realities in regards to CBD on wellbeing.

I'd advise you to look at the blogs of Pine64, PostmarketOS, and/or some of the other distros.
High throughput at relatively low power. To me, it seems like a match made in heaven. There is the practicality of building rock solid containerization on these CPUs. I don't know where that stands, but it seems like an obvious fit.
> I find it much more common that conservatives are totally down with the rights, but annoyed or put off by strong activism among minority groups

Then why are we still debating, in the US, whether or not different groups should have equal rights? Why are conservative legislatures throughout the country still trying to roll equal rights back ?

This point can't possibly be true, in light of what conservative groups are actually doing. The actions highlight the truth.

Or, to put it Biblically, "ye shall know them by their fruits."
Charging network got me to buy a Tesla over an IONIQ 5 a few weeks ago. I used to drive a Kia e-Niro and we'd use Plugshare to find odd fast chargers at fast food restaurants or gas stations and pray they weren't occupied when we got there or else we'd hop a few minutes to the next one. It can get super frustrating if you're out of luck. Maybe next car if the network is good enough.
Cape Codder / tech biz owner here. I guess that makes me the one who fleeces the businesses that fleece the tourists? You're mostly right, but obviously seriously jaded/bitter. Real estate is expensive, the business economy revolves around tourism and the population is aging. That doesn't mean we're just giving up though, so please if you're young and have the income to support a life here please do so! We need more young people willing to fight for the future of the Cape!
All very impressive, but here's my question: what are they going to do about graphics cards? Will they find a way to connect existing graphics cards to their CPU? Will they make their own ARM-based graphics cards? Will AMD or Nvidia?
>this change is so much better than the pulseaudio disaster.

Cant wait until we say the same about systemd.
The Apple's second version of everything is always the one to get. The first version is always exciting, but usually comes at some large expense.

- iPhone 2 had 3G and was so much better than 1
- iPad 2 was about 3 X slimmer/lighter than 1

Lots of other examples if I though about it.
I am risk averse, first time I dived it was exactly because how nonchalant way it was advertised. It was an intro to diving course, so it didn’t require any class work. We went straight in the boat, instructor gave basic instructions as we were boating to dive site. Because how it was presented I also didn’t realize how dangerous it is. Only thing they emphasized was to not fly for next 24 hours. Had I knew the real dangers when diving, I probably would have skipped it.

Not saying that it is the right way but dive shops would have a lot fewer customers if they really emphasized the dangers.

Also diving is one of the best the best experiences of my life. It really feels like being in another world. It is extremely peaceful and meditative. You should try at least once.
>Of course, if your app breaks because of browser extensions, you should handle errors gracefully

Web developers don't do graceful degredation anymore.
Sure and sadly they have been misused there.
It seems like apple is TSMC priority customer so I suspect they will always be a node ahead of AMD.

Doesn't matter if Apple does mobile and low power stuff exclusively, but if they can scale this design into a higher TDP/core count it's going to get interesting.

HacWare launches API to make Email Security suck less
Hey HN,

I’m Tiffany Ricks, the founder and CEO at HacWare. Today I’m excited to introduce our new AI powered Phishing and Training API for developers. The human impact on cybersecurity makes defending your end-users from cyberattacks incredibly difficult. 90% of data breaches are caused by unsuspecting email users falling prey to malicious phishing attacks. HacWare’s powerful cybersecurity API makes it easy for developers in the Cybersecurity, HR, Insurance, and Compliance industry to build next generation applications to address this security problem in their unique way. -> https://www.hacware.com/dev

Here’s why you should build with us:
Today, we’re rolling out the HacWare Security API beta for developers. Our team already has ideas for how we’ll continue to evolve this platform, but we’d love to hear your thoughts as you build with our API.

Here are the exciting benefits you will get today:
Save time and avoid building phishing templates.
Unlimited Personalized Phishing Simulations
Smart Training with automated reminders
End-User Security Insights to Phishing and Dark Web Breaches
Customize with your brand.

How it works:
HacWare is a smart security awareness API platform that helps end-users learn about cybersecurity threats like spear-phishing attacks and Business Email Compromised (BEC) scams. The product uses cloud technology and A.I. supervised learning to identify internal risks to email hacks. Then auto-generates personalized phishing campaigns to keep users alert and educated. HacWare works on any device because it connects to cloud email O365 and Gmail API. HacWare also supports on-prim emails with the HacWare Open product that provides personalization based on open source intelligence.

Check out our blog to learn more about HacWare and what other features we are launching, https://resources.hacware.com/tag/product%20release/

If you have any questions about HacWare and the API, drop them below and we will get back to you.

therecord.media get's a lot of attention now on HN presumably because it's new and Catalin joined them.

It's not a big deal, but I think it needs to be pointed out (especially to the audience outside the US) that they are CIA funded. They should be more transparent about this.

The simulation doesn't seem to rely on looks, just on fluid flow.
I always assumed the "M" in the M1 designation meant "mobile" and that higher-powered (in terms of processing, electricity, and heat dissipation) would be coming later and have a different letter designator. Either that or we'll get Air/Pro suffixes to the chip numbers (eg: M1 Pro, M2 Air...)
In the Linux Kernel I'm still using printk and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Background on In-Q-Tel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-Q-Tel
I had to wait a month to get my Macbook Air M1 here in Norway.

Was quite a painful wait (as my Macbook 12' got water damage, with the SMC limiting in to 1Ghz).
Here's hoping this chipset will support 32GB+ RAM and more than 2 displays!

Nikkei says they have already postponed some Mac and iPad production. Not sure how reliable that story is, but so far it doesn't look like customer orders are at all delayed. I bought a nonstandard one when this article came out, and they delivered it a week ahead of schedule.

Avokaado on Product Hunt
Hi YC People!
We just launched a new Avokaado version on Product Hunt to let startups access our enterprise-level Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tool that has SMB pricing and ease of implementation. Our solution aims at optimizing document workflows and getting all contracting done in one handy platform.
Please help us get a super start to our launch and post some feedback for us today in the comments.
It means a lot to us!

I guess they mean that Gitlab is funded in part by In-Q-Tel. In-Q-Tel is a VC started by the CIA (https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2012/07/16/15...) that now is used by many actors of the IC. It also has a side effect of making gitlab inaccessible in some export restricted countries.
Pernosco currently targets C, C++, Ada, Rust and V8 JS (e.g. node.js) applications that run on x86 Linux and work with rr.

Are there TCP/IP network stacks available for Java or .NET ?
> Ventilators were the critical thing

Ventilators are still a critical thing, but they are a last resort, not a normal treatment. The reason they were a big deal was because with a large enough spike we would run out of them (availability-wise) and I don't think people understand what that would do to the psyche of the populace.
> which is very much a political and left-wing stance

Then I have to ask, is it then a political and right-wing stance NOT to ask these questions?
The strange case of the $100M deli
Does anyone know about any progress about getting the latest Intel Macbooks working on Linux?

I have a 2020 Intel MBA and it "works" as in it boots, but the laptop trackpad and keyboard don't do anything.

Externals work, so it seems like a driver thing.

There could be other problems, but I haven't gotten far enough to hit them because I don't see a point in using it unless the keyboard and trackpad work.
This would be quite an accelerated timeline if Apple ships its second-generation M-series chip only eight months after the first. Typically, they’ve followed a sort of six-month tick-tock pattern for the A-series, launching a new major revision in the fall with the new iPhone, and launching an “X” revision in the spring with new iPads.

I think most observers have been expecting an “M1X” for Apple's first pro-oriented ARM Macs, so an M2 already would be a surprise.
I can relate to this beautiful sentiment. I was reminded of CGP grey's video on the subject. I think you're right they will get there in a decade. In a rational world we could've had a carbon tax or actual legit biofuels, but no one wants to pay more for something they can't see.

These long road trips infact make me feel guily about driving an ICE car, that I had to make a tiny mess in the atmosphere for one tiny ape to get this amazing feeling.
Mullvad's been as good as any I tried, and you can just get an OpenVPN profile from them and use your own client rather than theirs. The price is good, too.
The fastest laptop money can buy has always been available. I guess this is the first time you are considering buying one?
With pex plumbing and high velocity HVAC, you only need to run small, flexible tubes through the framing. It should be relatively easy to print small, flexible holes for tubing. Agree that traditional ductwork and copper pipping would be hard to accommodate.
A good overview: https://asahilinux.org/2021/03/progress-report-january-febru...
I've been looking at REITs recently- "BREIT" is interesting in that it's not traded. According to them, the return rate is 10%, which is really good..

I don't understand how they are making this much off of rent in San Francisco. The price to rent ratio there is like 50:1, which implies a return of 2%. Perhaps their properties are charging much higher then average rents..

Detroit is the opposite extreme: the price to rent ratio is 5:1 (of course this ignores that the property is likely in terrible shape and the vacancy rate is high).

So here is why I have been looking at this: how do the rich maintain their wealth during inflationary periods? Own hard assets that pay rent! Also the relatively stable return you can get from rent indicates how much money you need to retire. Suppose you want $100K a year during retirement. Well with 10% returns, you only need $1M.
You have to account for a round trip where you can’t charge at destination, that charging above 80% is substantially slower, and driving under ~15% damages the battery faster (or so they say in some manuals).

That gives you 20%-80% of your quick and safe usage of your battery.

Also rated at 50 miles is more like 30 highway in real life. Adding all these things up makes 80mi as low as you want to go for normal US cities. In Europe it wouldn’t be an issue perhaps.

A broken-in real-world Leaf won’t finish a 60mi highway round trip without making you sweat towards the end. And that’s for perfectly planned trips, but a crash that makes you take a detour could put you in a risky situation. I’ve had to tow my GF more than once because something unexpected happened and she just simply ran out of juice. Not because of poor planning, but because life just happened that way.
It's an arms race then, sure. But why not stay in the race?
I've been extremely happy with my M1 Air. I waited until Golang and Docker were available (around Jan 2021), but I haven't suffered any workarounds or hacks.

To be honest, it has all been much smoother than I expected, but YMMV.
My point is that technology leads to change.

I guess if you were the Catholic Church in 1650, you’d be complaining about all this new ‘misinformation’ being printed by Gutenberg presses and promulgated by Protestant preachers. And certainly in some cases you would be correct in calling it propaganda. In other cases you’d be wrong and your opponents would be justified in criticizing you. But that wouldn’t ultimately matter, at all, as we have seen in the last 400 years, these things cannot be controlled.

The internet is like the printing press x1000. Understanding this dynamic is critical to understanding the future of information.
No, but I do move around a bit.
You’d imagine they would have engineers think about this stuff. Such dummies!

Looking forward for that link of a death caused by operating the wipers. I haven’t touched mine (not Tesla) for years since they work automatically, maybe other families have special windshield wiper adjustment needs?
How would they be succesful in DC? Designing a product for consumers is very different than for servers. On top of that you add terrible server support for MacOS.
This will obviously not be comparable to a tiling window manager, but I've been pretty happy with Rectangle [1] on my mac. The keyboard mappings are pretty easy to configure and i've found it to work well even in multi monitor setups.

I'm 100% in the camp that print statements are terrible for debugging, and I never use them as a debugging tool for my personal projects or on my local box. However here is why, despite something like gdb/rr being the best tool for the job, I fallback to print statements for most code that's shared beyond my personal scope:

- Works in any programming language.

- Works in programming languages that aren't easy to debug with gdb out of the box without setup.

- Works if you're trying to figure out why a problem is occurring without a core dump

- Other developers understand how it works -- I find that there's no reasonable expectation that a developer knows how to use gdb.

- Works on systems you only have log access to -- true for production systems that have sensitive customer data.

So instead of debugging in two different ways, I've submitted myself to print statements -- tragedy of the commons I guess.
What if Rosetta 2 was that Mac only server functionality? I don't know that they'd do it, but from M1 Mac reviews it sounds like M1 + Rosetta 2 will run at least some x86 code faster and more power efficiently than any competitor.

I don't know how feasible it is to scale that up to a datacenter though, and I expect MacOS licensing costs would wipe away any power efficiency gains. But I do wonder if they could hypothetically scale up and beat the best Intel/AMD have to offer just using Rosetta 2 to translate x86 code.
Like using margins or padding?

No need to hate. Nowadays people in general do make necessity out of convenience and virtue out of necessity.
Debugging is one of the key skills all devs must master. Visual studio has one of the best debuggers I've used and it's still not perfect. That said, the title is still clickbait and print debugging will probably always have its place.

There's also Coffeezilla and Spencer Cornelia. We need more people to talk publicly about these things so that less and less people can get scammed.
But "delicious-and-then-unbearable sensation" sounds like an orgasm to me. Perhaps she was expecting too much? But really, god knows what.
Would be nice if Fedora improved its GUI package management. It's slow and the interface is pretty bad. I tried every solution I could find over a period of 18 months, but in the end the solution that worked was installing Ubuntu. It was my personal laptop so I was able to give it such a long try; obviously this wouldn't have gone on very long on a work machine.
Agreed, if there is consensus on what a word means it's unnecessarily distracting to use it in a different sense. In this case, the common meaning of keylogger is not restricted to malicious software, so we shouldn't insist here that it is.
> Official contact tracing in the US is a complete dud and had negligible impact on the spread.

The problem with contact tracing in the US definitely wasn't an excess of effort: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03518-4

And more generally, I think it's great that lots of effort went into things that were then superseded by things that worked better. Sitting around waiting for perfect knowledge would have meant a much larger death toll. Indeed, the knowledge about better treatments came because people tried a great number of things and then doubled down on the ones that worked. Trying things is never wasted effort if at the time they were a good guess about what might work.
I have an M1 and I love it. Sure, there were some early issues like chrome crashing all the time and some packages not working but I haven't run into any issues as of late.
If we keep building a more and more adversarial society, yes.
Manipulated into taking a bad deal from an angel – will a VC will buy them out?
I’m 25 and am building a startup in the pet space that’s getting some serious traction rather quickly.

When I was getting this company off of the ground I started talking to my mentor and his business partner about getting involved somehow. I threw out some hypothetical numbers on how much cash I would need to get started and some equity % ideas.

They made me an offer that was on par with what I said I needed but for a 30% stake. I showed some interest but I didn’t think I was committing to anything. I definitely didn’t sign anything. I thought it was just simply an offer

My former boss Brad is a good friend and just sold his company last year and is now a VC.

Brad actually really likes this concept (he hated all the others). Last week we jumped on a call and he randomly made me an offer for 250% more cash at a 350% higher valuation for 25%.

I thought my mentor and his partner would be happy for me and urge me to take the better offer from Brad because I knew they couldn’t match the amount of cash.

They said I could include Brad in the round (meaning I’d give up 55% very early) but they wouldn’t budge on their offer or valuation.

If I took his offer and not theirs they would see it as me cutting them out and as a betrayal. They told me Brad is just in it for the money and that they want to “help” with the business (they don’t really understand the venture capital world).

Oh, and they want a 30% dividend paid quarterly.

They are now strong arming me and manipulating me into signing a templated contract that they found online.

I’m sick to my stomach over it. I can’t get rid of them. I can’t negotiate. They won’t sign or entertain a buy-sell agreement outlining how I can buy them out. Their response was “we are in it for the long term”.

The only hope I have (in my mind) is if I can raise a round in the next year and have them bought out. I don’t see any other way.
I am surprised anyone still wants to use print debugging. Certainly it's required sometimes, and sometimes it's the quickest easiest option. I use a mix. But the level of insight a good debugger gives you at a glance is not possible to achieve with print debugging, and I hate when I don't have access to a debugger, it's so cumbersome.

Inside significantly complex programs, plopping a breakpoint and then climbing the recorded stack frames gives you a snapshot of the program at all calls all the way up the stack. It lets me find information in a matter of moments instead of minutes. You can run commands right there in the current moment of the program you paused on, and you can even change values to what you think they should be and let it run to make sure your assumption is correct and your fix will actually work.

Instead of running the program ten times in a row to debug, I do all that in one go, and I can let my curiosity run wild as I poke and prod the program as I see fit.

For programs that take a while to run during development, it's not even feasible to print debug. If you're waiting 1-5 minutes to run the program, and it takes you 5 goes, you've blown nearly half an hour twiddling your thumbs.

Quite frankly if you were on my team and not using decent debuggers to troubleshoot, I'd have a chat. You and I are both on the clock, use your tools and get it done!

Caveat: Some debuggers suck, and print debugging is less painful, but still painful.
