Feels very dishonest from Sebastian to try to wash his hands from this while, in his own words, "funds were misallocated for years" [1].

You can't have that kind of thing happening for years and just "don't notice" nor "do anything about it". IMO, it's quite obvious that not only did he knew, but he was also complicit in the whole thing. The only reason they're venting this now is because they ran out of money, if some wealthy sponsor had come and gave them a few million, their sudden spark of morality wouldn't have realized.

Thank you very much to the friends who gave me suggestions last time.

compared with last 'Show HN', i made the big effort to make the world better, features

1. removed the unnecessary animation

2. migrating UI library to Jfoenix (an open source material design style library )

3. redesign node operation (instead of context menu)

4. redesign server operation (add context menu)

5. add connection indicator

6. support auto reconnect when disconnected accidentally

7. support i18n

8. upgrade JRE version from 14 to 16

you can download and try it from github release page.

It's like having a startup with 1 full-time salesperson and 3 part-time engineers. It would never work unless you already have a product (which Babel does).

As a lifelong salaryperson: Salaried employees don't work for hours, they work to get specific tasks done. If your work only takes 4hrs, then you get a short day. If your work consistently only takes 4hrs, then you work fewer hours as a lifestyle.

Of course, employers hate this, but the privilege of salary is being able to tell your manager to stick it to them on a daily basis by pointing to the tasks and showing that they're done.

I guess the moral of the story is that most modern technologies don't lend themselves well to the popular narrative of a solo inventor, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize the contributions of people who had the good ideas that made them possible.

My argument is that if I need that insane speed and safety features have to be off I should actively work for that not the other way around that I should actively work for safety.

>Could you give some examples where the same value needs to be used in integer and floating-point math?

When you want to draw a pong game in a finite matrix representation, like a screen in ncurses, you cannot have something like screen[2.1][3.5], so you have to truncate (or round, depending what you want to do) the same float coordinates to write that matrix.

Of course, you could avoid these using fixed point but even there you need a type conversion.

Are you aware that, for over 20 years, Apple sold an OS that only let you resize application windows by the lower right hand corner?

I could go on (and on and on) but I'll stop here: Remember when Apple swore by the single button mouse? They said it was the best thing ever. Except the first thing everybody bought for their new Mac was a multi-button mouse... Reminds me of how many dongles you need today because thin is in!

If I read the disable FAQ correctly, then even if you disable it, the bridge would still work. So your device would still contribute to the network, you just won't be a part of it.

Given that, I am not sure if its any use to disable sidewalk, since your network is still being shared.

The disable FAQ:

> If I disable Amazon Sidewalk, will my Sidewalk Bridges still work?
Yes. All of your Sidewalk Bridges will continue to have their original functionality even if you decide to disable Amazon Sidewalk. However, disabling means missing out on Sidewalk’s connectivity and location related benefits. You also will no longer contribute your internet bandwidth to support community extended coverage benefits such as locating pets and valuables with Sidewalk-enabled devices.
Only if it's worth something.
> Could you give some examples where the same value needs to be used in integer and floating-point math?

Mainly when working with pixels. In some contexts, pixels are clearly integer values (for instance the width and height of a texture in a 3D API is almost always given as integers, a texture with a width of 12.5 pixels simply doesn't make sense).

Computations on 2D pixel coordinates on the other hand need to have subpixel precision, otherwise you'll get jittering artefacts. This results in code where integer values must be converted to floating point before going into computations, and sometimes the results need to be converted back to integer.

I started to add duplicate functions to my C APIs to reduce the need for explicit conversions when using those APIs from stricter languages like Zig or Rust, for instance:

void sg_apply_viewport(int x, int y, int width, int height, bool origin_top_left);

void sg_apply_viewportf(float x, float y, float width, float height, bool origin_top_left);

PS: interestingly, even 3D-APIs don't agree here. For instance in OpenGL, the glViewport() function takes integer values, while in D3D11 and Metal a viewport is defined with floating point values.
Just wait for the updated C++ standard with size_t indexers.

You did just say that convenience is ALL you want... and many of the most convenient tech products these days (e.g. Kindles, Ring doorbells, Facebook, internet-connected TVs, smartphone apps, etc) are not so great for people who value privacy.

That's valid too, but and big but, I'd argue your engineers aren't being paid their value though and that's largely down to what I feel is Europe not valuing engineers relative to what they accomplish enough. Don't drive our wages down, drive yours up.

I'm consistently astounded that my friend who lives in France is only making what she makes given her level of schooling and skill.

That doesn't detract from your point though. Only the hassle of hiring outside of the US may be a blocker there as well.

Look at Flippa for benchmarks, and contact FEI International for an appraisal.

FWIW I'm skeptical about any % coverage claims, because nowadays a large portion of traffic is encrypted. So unless you have cooperation from the browsers (e.g. a browser extension, or a certificate installed to allow MITM), you cannot calculate the denominator.
25 Years After Disaster, Climate Change Makes Everest More Dangerous Than Ever
I agree that float<>int conversions are evil. I would make an exception for int to float conversion for literals. When switching from C to Rust I was annoyed by:

I thought you meant generate strings from a regex. But you actually want to infer a regex from a set of example strings.

We are not comparing M1 to 64-core threadrippers. We are comparing 8-core M1 to 8-core AMD and intel.

Which are faster? AMD by a huge margin, then Intel and Apple.

Which are more power efficient? Probably apple by a wide margin. But we need better benchmarks to confirm that. Many I have seen so far just do automated Web browsing or YouTube videos until battery dies. The latter is not even CPU-bound, the former is mostly a browser and display efficiency benchmark. Most likely neither use the Firestorm cores much.

Does power efficiency even matter? My answer would be yes for laptops/tablets and no for desktops which are already running comfortably below 20W (see for example Asus PN51 series).

> Users can post a TikTok video resume to the site rather than a traditional resume. The idea is for users to give an elevator pitch or work experience summary via the video in a unique way.

Genuine question. Can anyone tell me how recruiters intend to parse through thousands of videos without some level of automation or software-based filtering?

I understand that there are AI systems that can pick up keywords and sentiment, but we all know they are far from perfect. Plus we end up with all sorts of issues where some accents might be under-represented, leading to exclusion etc.

For all the flaws in text resume-based hiring, automated systems can, at least to _some_ extent, help sift through thousands of candidates.

I'm not saying that the present system is perfect, just that the proposed video-based system could be worse in terms of scale.

As I'm sure you're aware, this gets lost in bike shed land every time it comes up but Rust could implement `Index<iN|uN>` pretty easily. Unlike C you don't need an implicit cast to do the right thing.

Sketch has always sort of been an implicit subscription: you pay the current retail price, you get upgrades for a year, then if you want to upgrade past that, you pay the current retail price again next year. As far as I can tell, you can still use your old version of Sketch without switching to this explicit subscription model. So, that part doesn't feel like a huge change to me.

I assume the SaaS version phones home to check your license all the time, and probably it won't let you use the application if you aren't connected (this is speculation on my part). But (also speculation) I assume it's already been phoning home telemetry data for years, and most professional designers are online anyway. So, practically speaking, not a huge change for most users.

But, this does feel like a notable change, and not for the good. Other than its drastically improved UI and laser-targeted feature set, the thing that distinguished Sketch from Adobe CC when it came out was that it wasn't a SaaS product. Now it is.

It feels a little desperate. They've lost a lot of market share to Figma, and this feels like a pivot from financial necessity, not something they are doing to improve the product, which is where you'd hope the impetus would come from.
