Not as far as I am aware.

I'm not 100% familiar with the nitty-gritty of this, but it forced the Devuan folks to fork Debian rather than just remove some packages and install others. Obviously if the solution did not require altering the source code of some of the existing packages (including GNOME ones AFAICR) - nobody would have gone and forked a distro.
In the specific case of my mom and a few other neighbors, it's the KDE project that did just that, well over a decade ago. But i agree with your point that GNOME design is really nice.

Agreed. Facebook's handling of the "fringe conspiracy theory" that COVID may have originated in a lab says everything we need to know about how destructive of a force for they have become.

1. If it is known from the start that this is how it works, you can just avoid those CDs.

Reddit has lots of valuable info, especially if you are looking for tips on products, but the UI isn't just bloated, it's downright hostile with its dark patterns to make you use their terrible mobile app.
i.e. without a collusion in people across teams "Hire to Fire" will not work. and for the problem to be systemic, collusion should be happening between thousands of people.

What I think is more likely is that managers are ready to take 90% candidates with hope of grooming them because they have a fallback if it was a wrong decision. Which is a positive thing in my 2c opinion.
And for non-UK HN readers, the Guardian is a rather left-of-political-centre newspaper.

Or generally, each UK newspaper has a particular take on UK politics, and generally employs journalists or freelancers that have the same or more extreme views.
The best tax is one that is imposed on an individual but paid at source by the corporation paying them.

Thanks! Wasn't aware of Unicode::UTF8. Updated my blog.
I’m not aware of any NFTs that work this way. No not 100%.

If there were destructive scans of a Picasso where the only thing digital was the NFT, then yes.

It would also be kind of neat in a terror kind of way to actually shred the Picasso and issue an NFT.

The problem is that I still have copies that look just like the Picasso. Infinite.

If NFTs start being linked with rights, then that might work. Like the copyright ownership is conveyed to the owner of the NFT.

It’s kind of like buying a numbered print of a painting and trusting the artist to not make more.
You don't need NFTs to transfer stuff between games, it doesn't even make it simpler. I suppose you could argue that it somewhat simplifies the part where the player proves to the game what he owns, but the real issue is for the games to decide to cooperate in the first place, so if they cooperate on recognizing ownership, and the definition of the trophies, then they are already cooperating.
> Curious to see how many quit over this

I already have a resignation letter written, a stash of cash set aside and earlier this year re-activated my freelancing Ltd. In the event they won't budge on my demand for 100% remote forever, I'll quit. My only compromise would be a 30% salary increase for the time wasted on commuting, or 1 on site day per month. Everything else I'm not available. Even if my next job won't be fully remote either I will at least get that 30% raise for time wasted commuting that is simply unobtainable within even 10 years in my current position (typical case of great starting salary but next to no raises if you stay).
They might be, but are available to the common user and come with updates, unlike Pixel on most European countries.

Not to mention how it advantages people who can afford after school child care.

Are you in the US? If you have a single person company you could have a simple single member LLC set up so profits would flow through to you without getting taxed at the company level.

Of course you'd also have to pay self-employment tax on top of the regular income tax though (can get around some of that by using an S Corp).
What a weird objection.
It's not so much about saving time for me as it is about avoiding the context switch. If I'm typing on the keyboard moving my hand away to the mouse or down in the case of a trackpad and then carefully positioning the cursor on the screen and clicking, is disruptive to my workflow when I just want to think about what I'm typing. For daily use I use a Trackpoint to at least avoid the hand movement, but moving the cursor around still takes me out of whatever I was doing to focus on the UI (in addition to the annoyingly persistent Trackpoint drift issue).

But I agree that Apple's touchpad gestures are awesome and from the few times I've tried it it worked much more reliably than on any other device. Still, I haven't found a more comfortable setup than a ThinkPad keyboard + Trackpoint. The insanely short key travel on Macbooks is unbearable to me.
I love co-pilot. Throughout the pandemic my fiancé and I used the feature to play different sections of single player games as though they were multiplayer. I don’t think either one of us would consider ourselves to have a disability.

I used to work on games at Microsoft and they put their money where their mouth is when it comes to accessibility. I had spent multiple days in the accessibility lab interviewing and understanding how to make games easier for people with various disabilities. One of my managers encouraged me to test my features using the controller with one hand and farther away from the screen where bad font decisions were more obvious.

Two things I remember in particular from that time at Microsoft:

* The claim that making games better for people with disabilities makes them better for everyone

* The claim that most people will have a disability (not necessarily permanent) at some point in their life

I feel that those two lessons have permanently impacted my design lens.
Could you write one?
I'm saying I don't think living there would be worth it for half of areas on the other side of the river with some actual character.

If I had the money for flats there, I'd prefer to spend it almost anywhere else in London - either somewhere smaller somewhere with more character, or something much larger further out. I can't imagine the conditions that'd make me consider living there.

A lot of the developments along the river (both sides) that stretch will end up with significant modifications over the coming decades, as so many of those areas are just soulsuckingly dead and awful.
It’s all fine that these things work for you, but they probably don’t work for at least half your coworkers. I would not expect software development to ever return to 100% in-office. Those days were already starting to end pre-pandemic, and staying home for a year just accelerated the trend. A hot topic in the HR space right now is how you make working remote not a competitive disadvantage because it actually is a better working arrangement for a lot of people who have been historically marginalized.

Working in the office is not a competitive advantage when your leaders are working remotely. Which is what’s often happening — I find it’s actually easier to catch up with my peers virtually since I don’t have to waste time walking to another building and standing in line for coffee. Since they’re at home too and not stuck in meetings all day, they’re answering IMs and turning what used to be a 30 minute ordeal you had to go through in order to get their attention into 5 IMs back and forth.

Just try to imagine being on the other side of this: if you wanted to work in the office and people arbitrarily said “nah”. Because that’s what I think is going to happen at a lot of companies, and it’s what many of us who prefer remote work have dealt with our whole careers. There are too many positives for companies around office leases to not have a significant portion of your workforce remote: I think the improvement in financial performance of remote companies will force the hand of even the reluctant ones.

3. apply filter
4. apply inverse FT

It is equivalent to replace 1, 2 and 3 with a proper stochastic but direct sampling of the 1/f function to get the Fourier amplitudes and a uniform sampling for Fourier phase.

This would save processing time by avoiding the calculation of one 2D FFT and the application of the filter (a 2D array multiplication).

We're not anywhere close to just having a general purpose game playing AI for the current gen (though there is that Atari playing one)

But there are a lot of affordances devs can make in individual games. Someone else mentioned Celeste and Last of Us, but Microsoft's Forza series has a bunch of options, like brake assist or turning assist, that can take a lot off your plate.
The idea that Trump will reach a larger audience by returning to some fringier social media platform than he could with his blog is quite counter-intuitive.

It seems to me that a blog with proper (mainstream) social network "share" buttons can reach a significantly greater audience than an account on, like, Parler, Gab, or Yo.

My best guess here is that Brad Parscale couldn't figure out how to implement "share on Twitter" or "share on Facebook" buttons, which might not be that surprising.

There are different ways to provide security when it’s needed but most of what you would consider the benefits of security have more to do with everyone voluntarily obeying a set of written and unwritten rules. That’s easy to see if you ask why crime rates vary by geographic location. The same law should apply everywhere and for any given city you have the same police force so why do some areas have high crime while others have low?
Depends on the reason. You may be temporarily/long-term disabled. Or maybe you were having a really bad week and you'll be happy to take your turn next week (maybe you even said so in advanced and arranged to swap your shift with somebody else?).

Or maybe you just don't care to exploit other people you live with, in which case you're free to go and do that elsewhere because that's the norm in all of capitalist societies.

Ask HN: Technical-founder trying to grow in less technical roles
I've been co-founder/head of tech for the past 2 years at my startup. Honestly, I've always wanted to be more CEO/CPO than CTO but never having that experience, my background made it easier to be the technical side of a founding team than not. My first year was focused on ship/fail/iterate and so I focused on the tech side of things but the second year I started to grow the eng. team and peeled myself away. While I enjoy mentoring and coaching engineers, and enabling the product to do cool stuff, my passion for purely tech is not there. I started to play the product manager role while also doing some marketing/PR/twitter because if I'm being honest, learning all this other stuff is fun! As we are looking at our next stage of growth, I feel like I need to be a bit more focused on a specific role to avoid getting spread too thin (and not providing enough value) but I'm dreading putting my head down the purely CTO path. Have other technical founders had this feeling before or made some sort of hybrid role? How have folks managed staying technical while playing other roles? Should I just switch to product?
That only helps for the current job you have right now. What about the next job? Will you move every time you change jobs? What if the company is located in an area with far too expensive/not enough housing?

Remote work lets you live where you want, independent of where your job is (within reasonable consideration for timezone differences.)

The price is not something anyone can just "decide". If the price goes to 0 it's because nobody wants bitcoins. When that is the case, you can't just buy up bitcoins and "decide" that they cost 1 m. Well you could, but nobody would suddenly pay that much.

I'd love to see the sources you base your claims on, since you seem to disagree with respected professionals like Floyd Toole and Sean Olive, as well as every sound engineer employed by pro audio companies. Extensive research and listening tests have shown that a linear frequency response with a slight roll-off towards high frequencies and a slight low-frequency boost, combined with even dispersion and low distortion is preferred by the vast majority of listeners. You need all of the elements together, in order to achieve a pleasing presentation. This is the groundwork and design philosphy of a speaker like the JBL 305P MkII, and it works, based on solid repeatable science.

Please provide your research or the sources you base your conclusions on.

You cannot get low-distortion bass at any usable volume out of a 3" speaker in a small cabinet, no matter how much DSP trickery you add, it is physically impossible. The driver simply doesn't have enough membrane area nor excursion to move the required amount of air. On top of this, the type of DSP tricks you are proposing require significant additional amplifier power and heavy-duty speaker drivers that can withstand it. Even then, what you're going to get is massive amounts of distortion, especially as the driver tries to reproduce anything under 150Hz at any sort of volume.

From my experience in hifi and electronics, what they're probably doing is using an off-the-shelf BT+amplifier module, with standard low-power amplifier modules. On top of this there is probably some standard EQ and maybe a "bass enhancer" module of the sort that generates overtones based on low bass frequencies, which uses the "missing fundamental" principle to fool the ear into perceiving bass that is too deep for the speaker to actually reproduce. Some bluetooth speakers make good use of this trick, but it is very much adding a bunch distortion in order to fool your ears.

I'm glad you like your speakers, but you are utterly delusional if you think they offer sound quality that is even on the same planet as a decent set of studio monitors.
As you acknowledge, registries and licenses with APIs are already achievable without NFTs or other types of blockchains, without the expensive computation or assumption that the certifying authority isn't actually the appropriate party to validate their correctness. We already know who owns the Mona Lisa, and since NFTs neither diminish its appeal to art thieves nor provide the Louvre with anything to display in its absence they're no more an advance in protecting art than Postgres.

The only area where I can see something like NFTs working is pure digital goods which can only be enjoyed by the keyholder decrypting them. (This sort of DRM also exists in other forms, but the risk of the vendor deactivating the online validation system when they no longer wish to maintain an old game is a real one)
Microsoft Ireland isn't a US company and therefore not subject to US laws. Presumably they're free to charge Microsoft USA whatever they want for their services and licensing their IP.
"And those two people likely don't eat remotely as well as Facebook or Google employees."

That probably depends on your cultural background.

Whenever I was in the US and worked for large tech companies I found the food too fat, too sweet, (interestingly same things like Kellogs are totally different in the US than in Europe), too much artifical flavor, too much cheese, too much toppings, large unhealthy portions.

The water and Cola tasted like Chlorine and were undrinkable - I guess you don't taste it when you grow up with that taste.

I had good food here an there, especially great - and expensive - steaks in NYC and once the best fish tacos in the world on a beach in San Diego, but overall the food wasn't to my liking. I was dissapointed by the food in SF, I had very high hopes from hearing all the good things but it was just average.

Food which I did like more than the food for "those two people" in general was the food in the South of France, in Sardinia, Corsica and Rome, desserts of the Middle East, in Japan and Vietnam - also Copenhagen is so underrated concerning food.

The food for "those two people" tastes natural, has no artifical flavorings and is healthy.

So it probably depends on your cultural background, as I've said.
Trump was banned for a political interpretation of things that weren't happening on the platforms he was banned from. The topic of Trump's communication is intimately tied to the politics of the big tech companies.
Not sure but Google could do something to help improve DDG search results.
There's also another issue with some of those queries yeah. Due to the way Google is parsing keywords, any search with special characters is basically worthless even with quotes (which does include a lot of code search).
Well that's exactly my point. They're entire marketing & product strategy seems to be to convince people their stuff has the same reputation / quality as Apple.
> Why can't governments learn that taxing corporations is pointless?

Pure ideological point of view with no grounding in reality. It's totally possible to tax corporations. In fact, some state like Japan and South Korean get more money from enterprises than individuals, the reverse of Europe and US (until recently consumption tax was 5% in Japan, now is 8%, still far less than EU's typical 20%).

The solution you propose doesn't even work well, since it's one more incentive for (mega-)corps to not raise salaries, as keeping salary low means also low taxes.

On the contrary, the way Android forces security best practices, by allowing native code only to be used for implementing native methods, enabling all security mechanisms by default, use containerized applications and moving away from ossified POSIX APIs (except for what ISO C and ISO C++ require) are Android's best features.
The thing is, unless it comes all the way from the top, it’s not generally a good idea to disagree too vehemently with your boss.

Especially if he thinks stack ranking is the shit.
No. unordered_map buckets are linked lists of nodes (key + value pairs). So you have one indexing into the bucket array to retrieve the list pointer, and then you may or may not have to chase an arbitrarily long linked list. But the nodes are necessarily allocated separately, so (assuming the bucket array is in cache [previous post should say 4 cachelines, not 3] and you don't have to chase beyond the first list element) you still have that indirection somewhere into memory.

This all comes from the specification requiring even load factors arbitrarily close to 1 and to still have amortized constant time insertion, lookup and deletion.

Well, they can do it if they want to - nothing can stop them to make a movie like this but they do not have any right to stop others to make their own interpretation (and they can dislike it and explain to everyone what is wrong with it).
