I tried using Hugin for stitching scans of large maps, but eventually settled on GIMP as the best solution. Hugin is designed for making panoramas of photographs and does complex manipulations to smooth out distortions. It does a great job on that, but it is extremely hard to prevent it from distorting scanned images when stitching them together. Even with many control points, it will distort every image to some extent.
Monads don't make side effects in I/O go away, but they do help you manage them. Crucially, the IO monad describes a computation which must then be run. Computations are describable in side-effect-free code. Running them is handled automatically by the Haskell runtime, and can be done without introducing side effects into the language.
According to Ukrainian journalists, a similar plan was carried out by US and Ukrainian intelligence last summer, when a group on a flight from Minsk to Istanbul was planned to be arrested after forceful landing in Ukraine. The plan was interrupted by Belarus detaining the group before they took the flight, based on an alleged leak from the Ukraine president office.

But day/weeks/month/years of life lost is not the same as what we understand if we say lives lost. Also we stooped helping people survives in the name of covid. Life extending treatments and surgery where paused to have resource for dying people.
Whos gonna count the days/weeks/months/years these people lost?

In the end everything just shifts number because we all die.
I just think this virus mostly hit the people at risk of dying which should have been made it morally easier to let them die, rather than hurt others trying to keep them alive. But that's exactly what the western world did.
I would understand it if children where affected. We would morally justify that someone with cancer dies a bit earlier if we can safe the life of someone who still has many years to come.
I wish these supposed jobs existed when I finished my degree for going into cybersecurity, unfortunately EVERY "entry level" job required 3-5 years experience. It's probably exactly the same today. Now I work in electrical engineering, because the position requested (not required) a background in IT and my hobbyist experience was enough to satisfy the rest of the requirements.
Agree. Something else: Useless software is also very educational.

I'm also into compilers and engines. I learned 3d programming by looking at small projects online. The "worse" the code, the easier to learn. If I had tried to follow the Unreal/Unity/Godot codebase I'd still be at the intro screen.
They already basically do; they require you to go to the digital equivalent and ask Apple pretty please for a signature.
> If a government cares enough to deploy fighter jets [...] it has the resources to know where you are at all times

these are very different capabilities. the former is limited to state actors the latter can be found out by any Amadeus employee without any security clearance. the only way to avoid this is not to fly or use a passport that isn't in your name.

if one were to speculate it is likely not even Belarus that made this happen.
Speaking as someone from the third world, absolutely.

I just implore anyone here to approach this with an open mind. There's lots of fraud, but that's also leading people to come up with newer, more exciting solutions. Like on-chain insurance (https://nexusmutual.io/) or tranches to compartmentalize risk (https://saffron.finance/) or creating entirely synthetic assets on-chain (https://synthetix.io/)

It's a weird space where finance and tech and design and culture are coming together, and frankly, it's the most fun I've had in tech in years.

Even though I feel that current valuations are grossly overheated, the stuff coming out on a daily basis is just a ton of fun.
There are two, Hungary and Poland, and they have each other's back. EU laws weren't designed to be resilient against two failing countries at the same time, so everything would have to be rethought, and we're notoriously slow and bureaucratic. I'm sure the pandemic didn't help either.

Why Decentralised Applications Don’t Work
I think you missed my point. I was saying the violation isn't our business and by its nature it is in no way comparable to theft or other crimes. i.e. private parties have a dispute that they need to settle privately. It's not on us to police whether they stick to their contracts.

Whether that type of contract is allowed by the government/law in the first place is an entirely different discussion about commerce and regulation; I wasn't opining on that.
Apple would definitely need to make guidelines for stores. They would obviously be different than for apps, and deal with more meta aspects of the regulation (such as, fair examination of app submission, possibility for rejected apps to appeal, obligation for app owner to be identified, etc).

Much like a government can create quality standards and then outsource parts of its missions to private sector.
No, most of Russian people, as far as I know, think more or less like me.

I understand this might bother you, but you see, the reality is one thing, and your state propaganda is another.
IDK, but I see them all of the time as [promoted] on LinkedIn. Looks interesting actually, I read this post a few minutes ago: https://adirmashiach.medium.com/firebolt-the-new-kid-on-the-...
That’s just a narrative, though. The practical reality is cryptocurrency valuation is driven by these narratives 100%. The other practical reality is the people pretending as if this reality doesn’t exist are increasingly perceived to be engaged in biased sophistry.

Granted, low information people are still falling for it, but high information people increasingly aren’t, as evidenced by Ethereum failing to get even 3/4s of the way to its previous bitcoin-denominated valuation high over the most recent market cycle, despite ludicrous levels of hype.
Sounds like a terrible position to be in, perhaps we should require the vendors and the manufacturers to be separate entities in order to avoid forcing anyone into it.
I think it's not important, especially not on HN, that you understand my dislike of Tulsi Gabbard. Another way to come at this is that Gabbard is loathed by people in every faction of the Democratic coalition; the leftists don't like her, the centrists like me don't like her, the Black voters don't like her, certainly the LGBT activists aren't having anything to do with her. She's a gadfly, she has no constituency, and, as I said upthread, she's obviously used by opponents of the coalition as a cudgel.

Ask HN: Networking with people at high position for job
I am a developer,I have a few connections in my LinkedIn account who are at very high positions in big tech companies, but I have never known them or talked before (they were kind enough to accept my invitation). Now I am looking for jobs and would like to utilize these connections for a reference. Is it possible, if so, how should I approach? Thanks!
>even secret police officers have to make a soup of their boots

So what are Usmanov, Prokhorov, Potanin, etc? Are they oppressed opposition, or are they eating boots too?

>bayonet in his pooper

While executions of government officials would be extremely entertaining and spirit raising sight, such revolutionary events will lead to much worse outcome in long term than reformation.

>All corrupt heads of Ex-Union countries hold personal accounts on a very tight leash

Ex-Union countries are very different. Claim that corrupt heads of 6M people/43G$ GDP Turkmenistan and 145M/4328G$ Russia are identical is a strong one. Other than size of economy, they are different in that most of them became authoritarian states right after gaining independence, while Russia had about decade of mostly working democracy.

>this

Elections. Corrupted to the point of uselessness, but they are still run, as government derives it's legitimacy from them, rather than from leader's charisma or ideology.

>Call things their their names

Sometimes it makes sense to distinguish between kinds of shit. Especially if shit is only material you have.
> https://curve.fi/ - for exchanging different tokenized stable coins (such as USDC > EURO). Already has over $300M in daily volume exchange.

I'm confused. How do you get EURO currency in your hand with this? i.e. either physical paper or in my bank account?
As I recall, the Apple II was fairly advanced for having had a switching power supply. I understand in fact it was practically unheard of in consumer electronics.

I know the Apple I was a kit and came with no power supply but every one I've ever seen the hobbyist has added a clunky linear power supply with a monster transformer and giant electrolytics.

It's almost like the two computers stood so near but just across from one another on two sides of some threshhold.
The pool is never truly limited though. Every industry was at one time tiny and had to train people to do the job.

But, training costs money, so they hope some other company will do it for them.

Big Candy Is Angry over Look-Alike THC Treats
Louis Rossmann made a video giving his definition, which is that parts are available. However, that is only his definition, there is still broader community lack of focus on what it means.

Some people think it means that Apple must make their products easy to repair. Others think it means Apple must every single chip available for independent purchase. Others think it means Apple must only make available the parts that they would provide their AASPs with (only finished boards and displays, not individual chips).
Maybe it's neither of those things. Maybe the design of the board saved a few dollars, maybe it was required by some other design constraint the vlogger doesn't perceive.

I don't personally have the time to watch a 20-minute video to see what the hell he's talking about, but his overall shtick of acting like one random vlogger can readily pinpoint what thousands of professional EEs didn't notice in the design phase is frankly silly, as is your false dichotomy.
Xenobots: Researchers Build Biological Robots with Self-Healing Properties
I grew up in Arkansas too. I've went digging twice. Once as a kid and again in my early 20s. Funny enough I woke up with horrible back pain the second time and was basically worthless the whole day. My wife hated the whole ordeal so we've not been back.
You're being disingenuous if you're trying to compare the mature foreign exchange market with a technology that's barely half a decade old and still obscure by most standards. Curve.fi, the example I shared, was launched in Jan 2020 and peaked at a daily volume of $1B.

Personally, I can't buy USD without going to the bank and filling out paperwork, submitting ID documents and clarifying why I need the USD and adhering to prescribed limits.

I have no such restrictions with their tokenized variants.
I would argue that the US government is also a for-profit government, don't give up your rights so quickly to them. At least with Apple you know what they want: money. With government it could be money, a power play, government official looking to get on the map (ambition), a policy lobbied for by a bought off politician, etc
Yes, because the law (and the systems supporting the law) can easily be evaded - there is something massively wrong.
Making useless stuff is nice if you and everyone else knows that it's useless and you can optimize the activity for maximum learning.

I hate making useless stuff when everyone else believes that it's useful. Then the work is usually tedious, repetitive, stressful and frustrating. There is 0 satisfaction. You just want to waste as much time as possible to maximize your hours/income.
Funny reading this. it’s as if people installing games from steam on their laptop, and mac apps from the apple app store, then install adobe softwares from adobe installers are living an insufferable life.

They’re not. There are very easy ways to recognize a trustworthy store. We’re doing that every single day for things we actually ingest.

> Gene's are letters in a story. To say "That's a salmon gene! It doesn't belong in my tomato!" is puzzling, like "That letter belongs to another book! Keep it out of this book!"

Using the same reasoning we could pick some pieces from an apple computer, mount it in a PC and expect that will fit in place and work flawlessly because, well... plastic is plastic. Right?.

It does not work like that. Organisms has been designed and polished for millions of years to work as a whole, all expensive useless stuff has been pruned for good reasons, and yes, this salmon gene -most probably- will not belong to a tomato... because is part of a salmon.
Instagram now asks bullies: 'Are you sure?' (2019)
There is nothing wrong with this. In fact, it should be a legal requirement that all OEMs allow 3rd parties to manufacture these parts to provide as replacements.

Saving the planet is far more important than protecting the profits for replacement parts. Of course they shouldn’t be allowed to sell complete phones but selling screens is good.
Why? Because Apple is currently able to?
But in this case the market would balance itself; this isn't an argument against the right to repair. If there's indeed no market for this then nothing will change, but it doesn't mean parts/schematics shouldn't be available in case people do want to repair devices.
> Russia would not permit NATO to control Belarusian air space

Nobody proposed NATO air dominance over Belarus. What I proposed is restricting international flights through Belarusian ATZ, denying Belarusian flights international overfly, escorting international flights that get close to Belarus with armed NATO platforms and denying neighbouring airspace to Belarusian armed platforms.
Is this a good thing? Better those bullies get exposed on Tinder than on the first date?
I don't know why you were downvoted, but your argument is disingenuous: the anti-drug laws are not anti-disabled people, this is probably a borderline case that was not considered in the legislation. Fake self-victimization may be why you were downvoted?

This is helpful. The chrome plug-in is an only an optional add on to make the core product "the board" more effective as is the log in with google option.

Part of the value is to be disconnected from google/linkedin/FB for core planning operations. This is one of the reasons we are not integrating with LinkedIn profiles.

To your last point, we are working on some exciting features to extend the networking/fundraising/comms that you mentioned to bolster what is currently offered. Thank you for the input.
Most people aren't buying Android because "they can easily install software from any source", they buy it because they've already bought (locked) into it because of experience/apps and because you can get cheaper phones.
The only bad part is some of these parts are stolen from users. Because the main board on an iPhone is account locked, crime groups will strip the phone down for parts and sell these on eBay to people looking to fix their phones.

This is why I think Apple should account lock all parts on the iPhone and tell the user this but if the original owner unlinks the phone, the parts will work again.
I value iOS hardware and operating system. I couldn’t care less about other apple software, and especially the app store which i only use as a package repository, and never as a recommandation or browsing tool (which is ideally what a store should be)
NATO countries revoking airspace when you're flying through NATO controlled airspace over a US geopolitical matter is a threat as deadly as a gun to your head. Rerouting and not landing would be met with more airspace walls the opposite direction.

It's not a question of fuel, it's a question of geometry. You have two options, comply or death.
Yeah not for noobs is another way of saying that the creator of that particular thing did not do a good job.
Sure, when people aren't getting reasonable ROI from that tax money - e.g. it's invested poorly and not invested in a way that's improving enough of their own community.

Imagine if paying tax was voluntary - how relatively quickly communities of people who valued and understood the value of that pooling and who voted in competent politicians to manage their community would thrive/grow vs. the free-for-all and deterioration of infrastructure in areas where people opted not to pay; mind you private businesses may provide better services and people using them is them voting for their existence (voluntary payment) - though arguably initially before enough wealth was generated it would have been impossible to borrow the $100s of billions needed to start massive infrastructure projects; from my understanding there's a bit of this, along with more or less corrupting, in Democratic vs. Republican leaning states.

Re: bribes - I'd argue that amount of people wouldn't fit within the definition of following the spirit of the mechanism - you need a foundation with integrity to start for it to be an honest signal; or it's the reverse, the anti, bribery a sign of a lack of integrity and accountability in the system.
Those few seconds can add up very quickly when you’re making incremental changes and have to keep recompiling. I ended up having to write non-template wrappers for all my ASIO stuff and compile them as a separate object file, in order to keep my workflow manageable. Building that one object file would double my total build time.
You're right, but I think there's a distinction here that is easy to miss.

An IO action describes what to do, but something still has to do that action. A Haskell program on its own doesn't do anything; that's exactly why it's pure. The Haskell runtime interprets an IO value, unraveling it into the string of commands that comprise it. The runtime executes the commands produced by the Haskell program.

Haskell uses monads exactly because it lets you describe/express complex sequences of actions (for which later actions depend on earlier actions) without requiring that the machinery for actually performing those actions be part of the program too.
As I recall, early switching power supplies could not pass FCC Part 15 compliance for home use. This was in part because adding the necessary shielding added cost, and in part because the switching supply was typically more expensive than a gigantic transformer and a linear voltage regulator.
Simplest solution is to discharge the power supply: i.e., flip the switch on the power supply and then try to turn on the PC/electronic/whatever. You'll discharge the vast majority of the energy while it attempts to power on, leaving a relatively safe working environment. No tools needed.

I'm a huge proponent of crypto and the many things it's going to make possible that were not previously possible. But the developing country angle is oversold usually by people just parroting it without really knowing what things are like in developing countries:
1. In many developing countries increasingly you can also use phone or card almost as conveniently as you can in the west. In fact some developing countries are more advanced as far as mobile payments go (out of necessity because of less developed banking systems) e.g Mpesa in Kenya. Generally visa/bank cards and payment apps are not as alien as you might think they are in many parts of Africa or India or South America
2. Using Bitcoins for transactions/moving money around with the current state of the art is a lot more difficult and less accessible than using western union and other financial services that are ubiquitous in these places. Since at present you can't really use Bitcoin for much you still have to convert it fiat which means using an exchange. Most exchanges have even more onerous kyc/id requirements than banks and many financial institutions in developing countries won't even touch bitcoin at all. And not even to talk of the relative technical sophistication required to use crypto services let alone maintain a wallet. As far as developing countries go crypto-currency at present is mostly a curiosity among the well-heeled and well-connected in the largest cities. It's going to be a long long time before the promise of crypto bringing salvation to the un-banked comes anywhere close to reality.
This is the correct answer. Why on earth would you live there? I spend 9 months/year in Sunnyvale, CA, about 40 miles south of SF. I refuse to go up there.
I can't imagine applying to that many jobs as an experienced dev. My last job transition I narrowed down my search to 3 companies that I was interested in enough to apply & interview, based on combination of compensation, culture, and product. Got an excellent offer from one of them, and still happy 2+ years later.

I know that's a fortunate position to be in, but it's been a job-seeker's market for years. I feel like if you know your skills and value you can afford to be selective and focus your efforts on quality vs quantity. It obviously takes the stress off to already be employed and looking to move/upgrade. You can interview the companies as much as they are interviewing you.

I don't know what to say about that. HP wanted to charge me the price of a new laptop motherboard for a forgotten BIOS password(around £650). A guy, in the phone repair shop on the high street replaced the BIOS chips for £112 and my laptop runs like a champ. It's a pretty big difference for a laptop worth around £1500.
