Just tried it with the hopes it's not just another FOSS alternative to <popular app> that gets touted everywhere as 'better', but is very clearly worse in every way.

It's worse in every way. It's not even close to something as polished as Discord.

1. "Open in browser" is a good start, but then the registration process is downright painful. Discord doesn't require you to register at all to try it out, just to pick a nickname, it's vastly better for onboarding.

2. Requires unique nicknames. A chat app with unique nicks? this has to be a joke right?

3. As usual with FOSS, the worst part is the UI/UX. The whole design is extremely confusing. At first glance it appears the app only supports 'rooms'. But it seems that there are 'communities' and 'spaces' too? I have no idea what's going on. Discord just has servers with channels and private messages and it's all clearly indicated in the UI.

Listen, I do want to use open and free alternatives if possible. But let's be realistic and stop pretending that something like Matrix is anywhere near Discord. A more reasonable alternative would be Zulip.
I'd guess being a sales person from day one. Find someone to click together a website for. Worst case in exchange for food and shelter which the other side might have in abundance if providing that is their profession.

I made a website for the italian restaurant downstairs once and basically had access to unlimited pizza. Sadly it was really bad pizza :((
Having only briefly looked through the code base of libgo. It looks like they use boost::context, which is the only good stackful coroutines implementations I've come across. Not being familiar with your project I'm slightly confused about the statement of "hundreds of thousands of short-lives micro-tasks". This is usually a no-go in case of stackful coroutines, as you would waste too much memory as well as have a lot of overhead.

Regarding your debugging issues. I'd be surprised if this doesn't improve over the next year or two. Clang afaik isn't even fully compatible with the final version of coroutines yet. Microsoft has done a lot of work on the compiler itself. I'd assume that Visual Studio will likely ship improvements once they release VS2022(?). Of course these are only guesses from my side.

Summing it up it sounds to me like you suffered from the curse of being an early adopter. It would be interesting to see if you'd have less issues once tooling and compiler support has improved enough.
I've really been converted back to eBay. I mostly buy stuff for doing product prototyping, and it's way easier to get materials and light industrial type stuff off of eBay.
I've always thought something similar should apply to stackoverflow. Points from newer questions should be worth increasingly more, as more and more questions (specially the easy ones) are already answered
Project Babbage Explained Ep. 1 – Introduction
Tangential, but I can't imagine how Rodriguez was pronouncing intervene that would sound odd to an American. The British pronunciation, with or without the r, seems extremely close to standard "good" US English. I can imagine US dialects where it's slurred into something more like "innavene" but the professor was hardly mocking him for not speaking like that.
I'm sure it's not what you had in mind when it comes to use cases for Freesound, but it's what made this VSCode extension possible: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VincentT...

So thanks... I guess :)
Something I notice as a nonnative speaker is that my fellow nonnative speakers often try really hard to sound British. They put more effort into sounding the right way than actually trying to use the language correctly and increasing their vocabulary.

Quite often people get praise for their "good" English because they've adopted a British accent even when their grammar isn't right or use words with the wrong meaning.

Personally I don't care if someone speaks English with a Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Indian, Swedish, or any other accent. Americans don't sound like Brits, Brits don't sound like Kiwis, Kiwis don't sound like Canadians, but they're all native speakers. I prefer someone who can communicate effectively in the language over someone who can fake an accent the best.
As someone who has fallen into the idealism trap, I couldn't agree more.

Here's another opinion I've been mulling - the emphasis on FOSS is actively damaging to our community and we need to take steps to end it. We're highly trained professionals who often sacraficed a lot to get to where we are. Having this culture of giving away our professional work for free - often to people and organizations who can readily afford to pay for it - borders on masochism.

Instead of constantly singing the praises of open source, we should be encouraging a deep level of self-esteem in younger engineers by encouraging them to "know their worth".

There are of course clear and obvious benefits to FOSS - like no licensing friction and better security - but we have to find a sustainable way to reward the developers. Little donations here and there aren't going to do it either.
Interesting, can you say what country you are thinking about?
Software companies spend exorbitant amounts of money on e.g. AWS and say they're saving money on engineering, yet they waste engineering time to reinvent the wheel instead of paying something in the ballpark of peanuts to an open source dev. They should be laughed out of the room, and it doesn't matter if they had a legal right to do it.
Yes that's the trick, the model is trained both in the encoding and the decoding from the data that is encoded/decoded, continuously as data flows, from the same scratch in both cases and then trained with exactly the same data (the raw data).

Because of training is deterministic and the same data is presented during encoding and decoding, the weights of encoder and decoder are always kept in sync, such that the network used when encoding the nth byte is exactly the same as the network used when decoding the nth byte.

The weights of the network are the internal state.
At the end of the day since TLS depends on correct time to trust certificates, I guess the "everything is fine" solution is to fetch the DoH server's TLS cert, inspect the start and end dates, set the system time to the exact middle, then helicopter over NTP a bit to make sure it came up and changed the time to something hopefully correct.

On the one hand there's not very much else you can do since you're pointing at bits of thin air and saying "there's the trust chain" in the first place, but on the other hand plaintext DNS is... not much better?

Of course that's when the existential "why even DoH in the first place" starts (with side servings of "this feels so wrong putting it on the security report")...

(...Why do I suddenly feel like disabling certificate verification is going to catch on in a big way in embedded ntpds, almost like a standard best practice... aaaaaaaaa)
I can't tell whether I'm missing something: how would IPv6 obsolete their work?
You lose useful features like finding photos based on location if you don't remember the date it was taken.

I think the better option is:

(1) Make it obvious when location data is being included with a photograph, and exclude it by default - especially if the app doesn't already have Precise Location access.

(2) Apps that manage your entire photo library and all its EXIF data (think Amazon Photos / Google Photos, or an app to bulk import photos from a DSLR camera or something) should have to apply to Apple to get that specific entitlement- and social media apps should not qualify. But in this case, they shouldn't need Precise Location access to get access to all the EXIF data.

Personally, I use a Shortcut to be able to share photos without metadata. It works very well. It's the one included with iVerify, but there are free ones in the Shortcuts library.
Thanks! I changed the file name in the meantime and forgot about the link. Fixed!
I have a surprise for you if you think AliExpress sellers are not middlemen. Even the local Taobao, JD, and Pinduoduo are mostly professional sellers. D2C is on the rise, but still relatively rare in China. Ecommerce is extremely competitive and specialized here.
There current reinvention of not trusting an intranet goes by "zero trust" and "beyondcorp" in the consultancy and IT management whitepaper circles, but they pile on a bunch of dynamically configured tunneling and antivirus/client pc attestation things. The previous iteration was more meme-ish, search for "there is no perimeter".
Ignoring is not the same thing as supporting, no matter how many times you repeat the mantra.

An external connection pooler like pgbouncer can alleviate some of the simultaneous connection limits

There are projects to automate the syncing of LDAP users to postgres but it would be nice if this was built-in.

However I get the impression that part of the reason these features aren't in the box is to limit scope creep in the main project.

The only "real" reason you need a loadbalancer is that you want to save IP addresses.

If all your machines have their own unique public address you can loadbalance with your own software by pointing people directly to different machines.
This isn't Amazon.se specific, but I absolutely can't understand what Amazon has done to product descriptions. On June 21st they will start striping all HTML from descriptions. The only way to get a descent description will be to enter the Brand Registry then use the A+ Content system. Imagine how unreadable a huge number of descriptions are about to become. And that's if you can find it among all the recommendations and upsells.
There's a certain self selection in that people who are motivated and brave enough to move counties for a new life are the only ones you see. Back home there are also people who are resigned to their position (or getting money from the ones who have moved). Moving to a developed country from a developing one as someone unskilled takes a lot of effort and determination and luck (for skilled people to a certain extent too), so there's a survivorship bias here.
You certainly inferred a lot of things that I never said.

OP said “the poor is the US are the most destitute of any developed country”. I provided an example of similarly destitute poor in Canada, hence disproving his statement.

That’s all.
in the event a white kid was even the suspected perpetrator of this, it's exceptionally unlikely he would be given a 90 day suspension on completely bunk evidence
I wasn't convinced by this reply either, then I went back and read the actual email. It doesn't mention the problem at all, it's a straightforward sales pitch. Even I ignore tons of those regularly, it's kind of dishonest on the part of the developer to say "oh they caused me a problem, I emailed them and they didn't reply" without mentioning that he didn't mention the problem in the email at all!
For one - most employers don't provide any option for Linux work laptop and installing a new OS on windows machine is not allowed

For what it's worth, I work for a very well known, high growth company. Many others seem to have a problem with work/life balance based on feedback I hear through the grapevine. My team experiences very little of that though. We are well staffed, globally distributed so on call rotations always match our waking time zones, there are loose deadlines at most, and we are given the benefit of the doubt if something takes longer than originally expected to complete. I refuse to answer slack or emails after 5pm (even if I'm on call) and take vacation whenever I want with little approval needed beyond making sure an on call shift is covered.

For all the hate silicon valley-type companies get, I honestly love the spot I'm in. I think it has more to do with team structure and management trusting you enough not to micromanage. Hard to verify that as a job seeker though.
If you would like to try writing an Autopilot bot yourself, I've made a script that adds a text editor to the page and hooks it into the simulation. You can then implement a control function that on each frame receives the current position and velocity, and returns movement commands that the spacecraft will execute:

It takes effort but I don't have to use WhatsApp anymore (last time was last year to speak to a Google employee I started talking with here on HN).

I have contacts in UK, Scotland, Germany, Norway, Pakistan, India, South Africa and probably a few more. They all have installed Telegram by now.

Of course I think we can do better than Telegram but at least I am not contributing to forcing everyone to give all their metadata to Facebook.

I think you comment is underrated.

It's not just China, everywhere I look I see companies partnering with shoddy marketing/SEO 'consultants'. They are rarely transparent about their tactics, and often resort to click farms, fake reviews, keyword stuffing etc. The company doesn't understand the risk to their brand, because they don't understand what the consultant is doing in the first place.

The problem here is, I guess, that these tactics do actually work on the short term. So the consultant gets paid, the team reaches their targets and the manager gets promoted.

By the time eBay, or any other platform supplier, implies sanctions (and rightfully so, imo) the 'consultant' is long gone, and everybody loses.
For Amazon Japan, there's a site called "Sakura Checker" (https://sakura-checker.jp") which based on the distribution of the reviews and ratings, the grammar and wording, store's reputation, etc., tells how much the chance of reviews being fake are. Interestingly I checked a few of Aukey products and they were reported as highly having fake reviews.
Pulled from amazon.com, because amazon.de still sells their products.

There's no reason not to assume that AUKEY isn't using the same tactics on international sites

Many of the reviews are taken directly from amazon.com

These headphones last all day for my husband who works at an oil plant. There noise cancelling is amazing so he can listen to music while protecting his ears. Plus they look like earplugs so he doesn't get fussed at! Great product

So it's safe to assume that Amazon has absolutely no issue with this, unless there's a lawsuit threatening them.
Nice! Surely if IPv6, you're using DNS, no? And not typing out the full changing IPv6 addresses? Even in your homelab? Making this concept a bit moot at best - awkward to manage if anything.
Not sure software that can’t be changed turns into hardware!
Monstrous? It couldn't be any more simple, if you even have to go through the process of setting up PHP. Hosting options that support PHP are two a penny, probably literally.
I'm guessing here, but perhaps that is since apple revenue isn't ad-driven in the same sense Facebook is?

Wayland: “Move fast and break things” as a moral imperative
There's also a principle in security that's called simplicity.

"Defense in depth" is often quoted when people want to add further complexity to a system. There are cases where adding a security mechanism that adds complexity has a benefit that is so large that it's justified (e.g. adding TLS or ASLR). But it always needs to be balanced, because complexity adds attack surface.

The system linked here seems like it's adding a whole lot of complexity and only has a very weak case to be made for what it's good for.
Noce article and Aedes tons of sources on gituhb!!
They had a gameboy ripoff that with an English description would say something like "Can withstand a childs abuse" but the Swedish translation was "kan motstå barns våldtäkter" which translates into "can withstand being raped by children". Amazon.se is a joke

This is a pretty nasty situation that could happen to anyone. It might not have even been the wifi password. Any malware could have set up a vpn and done the same thing. Of course it's important to stop real crime but there has to be some improvements here.

At the very least they could have collected the passwords for the devices and dumped the storage to be investigated later rather than leaving these people without their essential devices for 3 months.
If they knew, they're guilty of fraud. If they didn't, they're guilty of incompetence.
It's not using the cloud API. All this logic is in Faker.js itself, and apparently Retool unwittingly lifted it with the rest.
My son started learning to code at 6 years old. We started by playing fun games at bedtime where he would give me instructions for various things such as how to leave his bedroom and I would follow them literally - resulting in my bashing into walls, falling over etc. He soon got the hang of being accurate with his instructions. He then moved on to building simple games using Scratch but got bored with that pretty quickly. He started to spend a lot of time playing Minecraft and would watch YouTube videos showing him how to make redstone circuits etc. He wanted to make his own games and so he gave Unity a try but the learning material wasn’t quite accessible to a (then) 8 year old. About a year ago he started playing Roblox and within weeks had downloaded Roblox Studio (Roblox’s development environment) and had begun making his own games. I think Minecraft helped him a lot with his ability to create 3D environments within Roblox but they also have a library of free, pre-rigged and pre-scripted models which removes any barrier to entry. He started making his first games entirely out of free models. He learned to script in Lua by watching other kids Roblox scripting videos on YouTube. He’s just turned 10 now and has a firm grasp of fundamental programming concepts, released several games and has begun releasing his own coding tutorials on YouTube. He still has a lot to learn but he’s intrinsically motivated.
Stirring up outrage mobs to get what one wants is even more problematic.
They old Amazon line about being 'customer obsessed' sure went out the window a while ago.
We're quickly approaching the point where it's going to be easier (and cheaper) to fix calendar glitches in reality rather than in the kernel.
> By default all your photos are sent to icloud

Go into settings and turn off iCloud for photos, keychain and any other app you don't want it to work with.

The difference of all of these things is that Apple is doing it to improve its apps for YOU, uploading photos from your phone to iCloud so you can see on other devices, or face recognition to group your photos, keychain copying is used across devices that you've enabled it for. FB is using the data to create targeted ads, Apple isn't. If you don't like Apples cloud processing of your photos or passwords turn it off.

The data may be in Apples iCloud but is 'private' - it's probably as secure as your home or the phone in your pocket and at least as private as the information the phone companies have about your phone location.

I got similar problems when I missmach 32bit and 64bit code. First try to run in qemu 64 bit system.

I ended up building the whole system on a 32bit old laptop and just don't care about the problems with installing missing 32bit libs on my 64bit system.
Here is my solution, written in Go and running in the browser via WebAssembly:

This autopilot doesn't use the rotation and translation rates as input, just the momentary values. It also uses the same control function for all axes.

What's a good knee-jerk "use this" recommendation that's inexpensive and likely to exist for a long time?

Popularity and/or intuitivity would be nice bonuses, but I'd value functionally correct/sane behavior more highly.

(I'm guessing this question belies my extreme ignorance of the field :), and that the RTCs in even eg basic Arduino etc designs are probably already reasonably decent.)

Edit: Just noticed the parent sibling comment about RTCs obviating divide/multiply logic. Much clicks into place now.
What the hell are you spending $40,000 on for your kid?
So persecution of random citizens on made up charges is okay?
Why would your users choose you instead of cypress dashboard ?
I don't see what is there to sue for, but I'd definitely go and see the principal in person and explain why I think this was a bad idea, and encourage other parents to do the same - hopefully it would take enough of their time to be enough of a pain in the ass.
So they just ran their descriptions through an auto translator not even tuned for Swedish then published it without review. Classic.
The US is not the only first world county, or even typical of them. Its the only one without community health care afaik for example.
Posting fake reviews on Amazon is a prisoner’s dilemma at this point. I’m not surprised to see even top brands getting caught up in it, because if you don’t do it your competitors most certainly will.

I still quite like amazon.co.uk. It has pretty much everything, I've never had a fake product and I get same or next day delivery on most things.
Yeah, I feel that's at best "firmware", but I would be very confused by "hardware"... watch there be some amazing term like "steadyware" ;P.
