Submit a bug fix/feature improvement to a github/gitlab repo with 2-3 contributors. The larger the group the less chance/more time it takes to form solid relations.

When there are 2 or 3 contributors there is a bit of jockeying between them to connect with the newbie esp if you contribute something useful. Make sure the repo has some constant activity.

You might have luck on 1 person repos if the personality type is disciplined/helpful i.e. they always respond to issues, happy to explain things etc

Bezos is also responsible for creating a new precariat who can only do their jobs by pissing into bottles because they aren't allowed the basic humanity to look after their needs.

If you're going to try to persuade me this is a good thing and not a Hobbesian nightmare, you're not going to succeed.

This isn't just about taxes. This is about humanism vs financial authoritarianism.

It's also about the fact that the world was both more stable and more obviously prosperous when tax rates were much higher.

Economies are supposed to be prosperity factories for everyone to enjoy, and not just billionaire factories for a few extremely privileged individuals whose wealth exists because they've placed unacceptable financial and personal burdens on the people who work for them.

Stackoverflow is switching to use system font https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27063991 Other big site such as Github is using system font as well. It appears there is a trend to abandon web fonts.
> You could say the same for adding a traffic signal with sensors.

Here in CA (at least silicon valley) approximately all traffic signals have sensors (it always catches me by surprise when I drive in other states and find there's no sensor so I have to wait endlessly for a green light).

But sensors are nowhere near a substitute for the efficiency of a traffic circle. With a traffic light with sensors you still have to stop for a short time, so it has all the disadvantages of a stop sign and none of the benefits of a traffic circle.
People (the women) don't start with asking "how much money do you make" and might not discover that, until they're a bit in love already, and thereafter they might think it doesn't matter that much?

So being happy (having created a happy life for oneself) and taking care of oneself (and others) is what matters more I suppose
The “both sides” argument is getting old.

Imagine Nazis arguing during the Holocaust arguing that Jewish “terrorists” were also killing Nazis and that both sides were in the wrong, and nothing could really be done until the Jewish people stopped fighting their oppressors.
The article is an oversimplification.

I have worked in the US, Asia and Europe, and they are completely different places with different realities.

For example, in the US it is normal for medicine doctors and lawyers to be rich. That concept alone is very strange in the rest of the world. They have amazing doctors that are not millionaires.

In Europe wealth was created by colonies. The fact that today the US is the hegemonic power in the world means that today the rest of the world is a colony of the US, who could not stop printing dollars the rest of the world are forced to buy in order to buy essentials like energy, because the US controls militarily those energy places(Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and they want to control Iran, the only one left).

China and India are just overpopulated. Wealth in China is related to being close to the CCP, that is just a mafia, like in Russia, Communism makes it possible for people that fill a room to own the entire country.

You just can't understand what happens in those countries. In India you just can get killed if you try to save young women or men from the streets(and anger the mafias that profit from that). In China you will disappear if you do harm to the CCP.

In Africa wealth is related with controlling the natural resources the world demand. That usually means killing the members of the opposing factions and specially being in favor of the most powerful countries in the World, like the US or China. Only the countries in Africa that significantly lack natural resources live in peace and could aspire to prosperity.

The concept of the "American dream" only applies to the US. In China, Japan or Europe population are getting older at a never seen before rate and that is their main problem today.
The thing for me was: I realized the type system is not something to fight with, but something that you can utilize to always have certain guarantuees about what is going on, which can make it extremely easy to reason about code especially after your program reaches a certain size.

But to profit from this you have to reach a level where you are beyond fighting with the ownership model and with data types.

For small/quick scripting stuff I still go to python, because some problems can just be solved faster with it. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It really depends on the scale of programs and the needed reliability IMO.
Clinicians are not aware of the distinct retina features because they don’t need to. Everybody can know the sex on the first sight and when in doubt, they simply can ask.
I’m certain ML would reveal other hidden, obscure features like this in the future. But that does not mean machine can do some thing people can not as the title might suggest. If people can set their mind to it, they will do. Maybe in much slower pace but they do.
A UI cleanup is needed. What Microsoft needs to do is pick a style and actually complete the transition. They aren't done with the transition to the Win10 look and feel. They never complete the metro migration. The Vista/Windows 7 look was never implemented through out the entire OS. In fact, even Windows XP never removed all the Windows 95/98/NT/2000 components.

At this point I also don't care if it's at the cost of backward compatibility, but they also need to fix the response times in the Windows UI. Given that high end games play very well on Windows, the OS is clearly able to process inputs fast enough. Yet for some reason when you're navigating the Windows desktop, everything seems to react pretty slowly.

Windows 2000 was the last version I was able to use without having my mouse hand cramp up. Something in Windows causes me to tense up my left hand (my mouse hand). It doesn't happen in macOS and it doesn't happen on Linux (Gnome/KDE/XFCE).
Well Wifi meshes are surpringly easy to put up, I think it's just the lack of desire doing so.
This seems like a a weird thing to speculate about. Of course iOS isn’t exactly macOS, but it’s essentially the same OS with a few different feature flags and a different set of preferred UI frameworks, which are increasingly not so different. That almost exactly same OS is now running on exactly the same processor in an iPad. You can more or less compare that device to anything with similar thermals in an x64 machine.
Thanks for sharing, very well done.
Are you talking about base-2 multiplication for fixed word-length integer? The paper seems to be talking about BigInt multiplication.
Microsoft has shown it can incorporate VM to feel native with WSL1 / WSL2.

So why not bring the new Windows Core OS and have backward compatibility with integrated VM?
Yeah but I still don't see what I get from it for server side development that isn't better on the JVM...

Better JIT, real threads (also Loom coming which is better than async/await or Promises), better standard library, better library ecosystem, better profilers, better debuggers, better metrics/monitoring for the VM, better portability.

It seems to me that the core server-side JS benefit is isomorphic code on browser and server which is probably useful if your team is small enough to have the same people working on both but for companies of the size I generally work for this is rarely the case beyond maybe small fixes I might do in JS/TS.

For me personally this can't offset the absolutely gigantic difference in quality between say JS/TS and Kotlin/Java.

That 1% seemed kinda off to me. The original article is kinda weird:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/07/can-gov...

One example they cite is healthcare being more then 50% spent in treatments that don’t work. But they don’t say it is Medicare and Medicaid treatments. Even if it is Medicare+Medicaid alone is 38% of the budget, so it sounds like at least 14% or so is effective rather than just 1%.
We should let the government decide how many chips we need, they really outdid themselves on toilet paper last time.

10 billionaires who grew up dirt poor:

Man, am I glad I ignored this kind of stuff and always took shots that I felt were way out of my league when I was in my early twenties.

I approached 5000+ women. The women with the most amazing personalities tended to stick, some of them being models and way out of my league.

Now that I am thinking about it, my chance of anything going somewhere was 0.1%.

People say it’s a numbers game. I’d like to more specifically say: go for volume and then more volume. Meet lots and lots of people in general. Social adventures are more fun than purely looking for love.

My point is: have these low chances (0.1%) been taken into account? I have many stories where people won’t believe it’s true. But when you have a big n, your range gets wider as well.
Modernization? The deadlines are tight and the focus will be all about getting done as fast as possible before the inventory of replacement parts dries up too.

Show HN: K3sup (0.11.0) Setup K3s with Yubikeys and smart cards
Windows faces a dilemma - its most valuable users value it for its deep and broad compatibility, but this compatibility is provided by geological layers of legacy cruft, which puts a severe drag on modernization initiatives. Case in point: the bizarre inconsistency of the current Windows 10 UX.

The way forward is probably to partition off those compatibility layers somehow, and sell support for them as add-on services, with a price escalator balanced so as to encourage migration to modern APIs, while presenting no cliff-edge that would push customers to competitors.
The last thing I built was a CMS structurally (a new non-commercial knowledge service), took about ~18 months to build. I plan to work on it for the rest of this decade approximately.

Currently working on a couple of trading systems (for physical objects, not financial). That's in the ecommerce sphere technically, although they're not monetary transaction based. The first one will hopefully launch in June. I might Show HN it.

Both work perfectly with the setup I described. I build in my wheelhouse though. I can build services like Stack Exchange, Quora, Wikipedia or Reddit (or most things in standard ecommerce, ecommerce platforms). I know what my stack is good at, and what it's not appropriate for. And at this point in my life I know well what I'm good at and what I enjoy, so I look for opportunities there.
The question was rather, what would the future of Windows have looked liked with Windows 10x. I'd say pretty bleak. If Win32 support wasn't perfect at launch (and AFAIK it was planned to not even support Win32 initially) it would be dead on arrival, everybody would stick with their "proper" Windows version instead of upgrading. New buyers would wonder why their new Windows PC doesn't run any games and either return the PC or "downgrade" to Win10.

The whole idea didn't make any sense from the start. There are better devices and operating system options out there that don't run Windows applications. Why should I pick Win10X?
> "new deal reduced" and didn't remove. Inequality has grown steadily with a wider range of "all boats rise unequally".

Here is the first line of the comment you are responding to:

> You can't eliminate inequality but you can reduce it. We can't eliminate disease but there is still medicine.

That was the important part. Making things better is desirable even if you can't make them perfect.

Inequality has indeed grown steadily. This is not because of FDR's programs, though, but because of measures taken since and other events: reducing marginal tax rates, reducing inheritance taxes, the weakening of the labor movement, globalization, and so forth. Also, incidentally, by asserting this you are contradicting your own previous assertion that nothing anyone has ever done has had an effect on inequality.
I never heard of this clause, but I only worked in Europe. So you could move to Europe. Sorry for the stupid answer.
On that note, Android 12 just deprecated Renderscript and now Google expects App developers just to deal with NDK, and Vulkan compute to port their RenderScript C99 scripts on their own while learning about the NDK, downloading github repositories with stuff that should be in the SDK and naturally learning Vulkan as well, no big deal I guess.
I see people still use Windows only for old business apps (like bookkeeping and such). Almost all of their other work moved to web.
I successfully moved my wife's notebook to Linux as she don't need legacy apps. Photos, Movies, Music all works fine in Linux and web. Desktop apps she used are cross-platform.

Since using Linux all rant she had "aaaaarrrgh, Windows again updating and requires restart!" disappeared. And performance just rocket up agains Windows.

I think, importance of native desktop apps will fade away and Windows can lose this advantage.

He explains this two sentences later:

>- Several cellIDs map to the same eNB lat/long coordinates. That's because the antennas mounted on an eNB don't have 360° coverage. The angle and range of each antenna carves the space into pizza slice shaped cells.
Don’t the already have x86_64 emulation? Pretty sure I have seen them demonstrating downloading a x86_64 binary from the internet and running it unchanged on Windows 10 ARM laptop.
It's because their expertise is in Linux for most of their products. They are incentivised to leverage their domain expertise here, and maybe only Amazon has comparable expertise in.

It's explained in the article, one tower can have multiple antennas (author found out they're typically set at 120°) on a single mast.
Each antenna is then a cell, altough mounted on a single tower.
In the plot where x-axis is man's age, and y-axis is eligible dating pool population, 'peak' refers to the age (place along the x-axis) at which the man's eligible dating pool is largest (highest along the y-axis). This is indicated by the vertical pink dotted line.

Deep Fucking Value (DFV) Crypto Index
Towers are just locations of at least one set of sender and receiver. There can be more than one set of these at a given location, meaning that more than one cell can originate from a single tower.

The first graphic visualizes this. Recption of the same cell is indicated by the same color there, while towers are at the points that these colored cones radiate from. Several cones of different colors start at the same points, visualizing that there are towers that are providing more than one cell.
Observe that the reception can jump back and forth between the same cells as can be seen on the brown and blue colored cells in the top left corner of the graphic.
>No, intentionally spoiling evidence — or “spoliating,” to use the legal term — is definitely not legal.

My point is Cellebrite/the Cellebrite user would be the one spoiling the evidence. The evidence is sitting there on the device unspoiled, and only if the user decides to charge ahead without heeding the public warning that doing so without the necessary precautions will spoil the evidence will the evidence actually be spoiled.

Signal itself has no knowledge of which files constitute evidence (it applies this completely indiscriminately), so I don't think you could argue that it is knowingly spoiling evidence.
Depends on the sensors. I've certainly driven on streets where the far back sensor is far enough back that it can change the light before you need to slow down (it helps if it keeps all the lights red when the intersection is idle).

If you only have sensors at the line, then yeah, you need to stop.
s/LTE stack/mmWave stack ?
This particular use of an if statement is subset of what's called a "guard clause", and I'm also a major fan of them. Other guards include an early return for edge cases or that would make the more general path more complicated, rather than just exceptions.

Maybe. But it's more likely they're replacing shaders with game- or engine-specific workarounds for hardware bugs. Used to do exactly that in my first GPU driver job. The goal wasn't to cheat, but to fix issues in popular games that for one reason or another wouldn't be patched for your GPU on its release.
I absolutely disagree with this. Free markets just drive people to their worst tendencies, to lie, cheat, and exploit others when they have the advantage.

Even if that wasn't the case, we don't really have much in the way of free markets in the world, or even within legal jurisdictions. Regulation is everywhere, and markets are always restricted to some extent. I don't believe that's a bad thing overall (for example, I don't think we should go back to allowing unrestricted child labor, or rolling back gains in the minimum wage), though often regulation does create unnecessarily inefficient markets (e.g., many credit airline deregulation as the main driver behind today's comparatively cheap ticket prices, but deregulation has not made flying less safe).

If we were to remove all regulation and bring markets as close to full freedom as possible, I would only expect income and wealth inequality to get worse, not better.

(Also, for anyone confused, I edited my wording after the parent quoted me, but my meaning is -- hopefully -- the same. Sorry about that!)

What's true about the majority of society... shapes society. I also think it's ridiculous spectator sports exist, and right next to so-called next we get sports news.

Is anyone asking me? No. I'm in the minority.

Sorry to be direct, but for most people who enjoy VR environments, but not actual environment, the issue is often in self-perception, confidence and so on. The VR is an artificial SUBSTITUTE for social engagement. But it's to actual engagement like porn is to having an actual relationship (i.e. not good at all).

There's place for VR and so on, but it'll never become the dominant form of existence, unless we hook our brains to the network at a very very low level the kind which is not on the horizon yet (and no, Neuralink isn't it).

Thanks for posting - There are many many soft system 'alternative' living approaches to engineering problems, e.g. pile-driving 200mmØ live tree trunks to 6m deep to stop a slope moving. Normally called something like 'bio-engineered slope retention'.

Another great thing with geotextiles is that with a small amount of fabric reinforcement you can save many tonnes of aggregate import, and as geotextiles are shifting to natural materials it all becomes very low carbon, compared to mainstream/conventional civil works.

A recent innovation that's now very common here is fibre-reinforced (metal, carbon, polyester...) concrete. No reinforcing mesh required and yet the concrete is stronger as a little more flexible from the reinforcing being uniformly distributed thru the slab.

For steep slopes there are pinned geotextiles like this: https://cirtexcivil.co.nz/products/turf-reinforcement-mats/ that are reasonable low-cost compered to block, inherently flexible, and you can plants (climbing or trailing) shrubs into the face.
ummm... isn't the love of money (greed) the root of all evil? So what is gained by spreading this evil yet further? Humans need to remember that although money has supplanted love as the currency of human society, love remains the true currency of all healthy relationships. It's greed that is poisoning the planet.
Even if it were a trap, it would be a trap for a device, not a person. Like anti-drill pins in a lock, which can damage or destroy a drill bit. I think you could reasonably say anti-drill pins are traps for drill bits, and they're certainly not a violation of anti-boobytrap laws.
I really don't understand what your requirements are. Again karax is well known and better alternative than all these (i.e loops and other control flow work as expected).
