> how fast you drive, even if you don't have a smart car, because your phone contains an accelerometer

Minor nitpick: you can't measure speed with an accelerometer, at least not with a cheap one like the one in your phone. I mean, in theory you can numerically integrate the acceleration to get the speed, but in practice the noise will be so big as to render the result useless after a few seconds. It's much better to have a GPS and derive the speed from the position.

Signed: someone who spent too long programming an IMU and fighting with stupid bosses full of misconceptions.

Other than that, I totally agree with your comment.
Has CLI taken on a different meaning than Command Line Interface? The primary purpose of javascript seems to be for adding code to web pages.

Javascript can't access the file system, what good would it be for most command line programs?

Python seemed like a far better choice until they abandoned 2.x because of their Unicode fetish. There are hints that 4.0 won't happen.

C, C++, C#, Java, Clojure, Rust, Pascal all seem like better ways to go for the command line.
Just a moderated comment section on a blog. Nothing fancy. I can't publish the source unfortunately.

Exactly. the EU is constantly changing the rules here. And penalties can be monumental. Users can also send you various data requests (and hackers can pretend to be users and do the same resulting in data breaches). Just not worth it.
> []completely unrelated[] to the other definition of "single parameter".

Actually, all monads are monadic functions/operators on their (usually type) parameter. Eg, 'list' is a monadic operator from element types to types of lists of those elements.

It's completely different (AFAICT), and mostly unrelated, but it's not completely unrelated.
If $20/hr is the mid pay can a “senior” at that shop expect $40? Those are more like Upwork piecework rates.
I'm under the impression that any public commentary about what goes on inside that forum is generally discouraged, but that's just what I've seen. Although this is an interesting point, for sure.
Any jpeg on social media is going to be chroma subsampled when the site recompresses it.
How is that a conspiracy theory? There's pretty clear evidence in the article that there is likely a connection as far back as the early 2000's.
50. Wish I hit that "clicked" moment at some point. There ARE some raw vegetables I will (and do) eat. But cook them, and they're vile to me. But more than anything, I avoid a lot of sauces, things containing vinegar (which is a LOT) - really not a lot of rhyme or reason to any of it. But boy do I hear you about the pattern of stress and anguish re: meals and food.

I've often said that if I could get away with not eating - I would not eat anything.

Socially - this is a huge handicap.
At this point in the US, anyone who wants to get a vaccine can get one. That makes getting it a personal choice.

Then you have this person try to damage Ycombinator because one of their founders spoke internally about the matter. Absolutely tactless. You'd expect future founders to be able to consider potential repercussions for biting the hand that's serving them.
I didn’t skip the line, but I don’t fault anyone who did (in the US) after the vaccination criteria was expanded beyond the elderly and a the immunocompromised.

The vaccine hesitancy rates in some communities were absurdly high. The justifications given for not vaccinating were equally ridiculous and uninformed. In that environment it’s completely morally justified to jump ahead.
> I struggle to understand the mind set of people who do not want to use them

It usually comes from people who never had experience with statically typed languages, don't work on projects with a large dev team, cross teams projects or work with a lot of 3rd party libraries. They don't realize the maintenance nightmare that types can easy.

Sure you write one off script, or something that is rarely run don't use types, but when you have a 50k lines codebase that is actively developed and maintained it's another story.

I'm so glad Typescript changed that mindset of frontend developers and is supported by a lot of prominent open source projects
Yeah, it reads that way to me -- this post was a public leak, not just criticising one founder but also implicitly repudiating the culture and governing processes of the forum. If the forum and trust in the forum being a private space are important to the program, I think being asked to leave sounds reasonable.

I'm not saying that the internal processes were satisfactory -- I don't know either way, and I think this position is consistent with both cases. I think the two options available are,

1. Criticise publicly and leave, and

2. Work within the system, and accept outcomes that go against you.
If you don't have problems with constipation, what's the point of fiber?
Woah, easy there. I have no qualms with what John said. I don't expect someone to delve into all the complexities in Twitter. Overall I agree with John and I wish we had more ways to natively support Y'CbCr.

The point of my post was to help casual readers know that this gets complicated fast. Someone might think defining FMT_JPEG_YUV is easier and simpler than it actually is. I don't fault John for that. It's not a fault of anyone, really.
lol. i don't get why people think y combinator is some high moral/honest company. they are just like any VC.
Everything you say applies to the humans doing this work. To bring it back to the rat is also obscuring reality.

For the workers these dumb things just make everyone's lives better, rat and humans alike.
If there is ever a place that I will listen to unsubstantiated rumors without evidence from, it won't be Twitter.
>“it can help increase supply chain transparency” really are missing the fact there’s better/easier ways to do that sort of thing.

There isn't any method possible where you don't have to rely on a trusted third party - and that's the entire problem blockchain is trying to solve.

The main question in the post should be "what information do i want to know without having to trust anyone, because it's verified by a number of 3rd parties before i view it"

E.g. every single finance/share/security transaction, tracking info of humanitarian aid, government spending, sales direct to an artist (tickets etc)

Before you say "but everyone can see", encryption exists for a reason - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof
> where you had to test for page not present yourself.

I would think that implies you need calls “lock this page for me” and “unlock this page for me”, as using a page after getting a “yes” on “is this page present?” is asking for race condition problems.

That would make this conceptually similar to the Mac OS memory manager, with a difference that didn’t use pages but arbitrary sized memory allocations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS_memory_manageme...)
At my university someone ran all the available old exams of the standard first semester "filtering courses" in economics through some simple statistical tests. These were always 5 answer multiple choice exams where you had to copy your results from the actual test sheets onto a scanable matrix sheet.

Long story short, if you simply checked answers A, C, E for every question you apparently had a very good chance to get a passing grade.
Nuclear is one of the easiest to regulate power sources available, better even than gas from what I remember. It is hands down the best option save red tape.
Heh, it might also be hard to swallow because this rebuke puts words in the parent commenter’s mouth — they are not the “Chinese nationals” commenter. Your original point remains, of course, and thank you for saying it.
First of all, congrats on the good work you and your team do daily.

I do not want to single out a single company, but would like to use this particular example to ask you the following: Please keep in mind the level of manpower and persistence,
some of these corporations can call upon for their strategic objectives..

In 2020 Microsoft had, apparently, 106 lobbyist companies working on its behalf:

During these conversations, there were never clear signs that the "decision was made and the path was chosen". My concerns were usually replied with "huh, ok". Therefore, I continually brought it up, since it was my interpretation that people were not convinced yet.
For cameras outputting at their max megapixel rating, yes.

If you're outputting at a lower resolution or not using a camera then it can be a notable loss of quality.

Most web images are probably scaled down, and in other contexts I bet it's similar. If you're looking at a raw camera shot you're usually only dealing with one at a time, so while simplicity is nice the RAM impact of those will be limited.
The account didn't have any kind of 2fa - even SMS would have stopped this breach. Obviously hardware keys are the gold standard but I wouldn't trivialize the amount of work it takes to roll that out to an organization.
The difference is that the state can send the police to Google’s door.

Twitter offices in India got raided by the police just recently because they marked some posts made by Modi and his party as “misinformation”.

Now in this case it’s a questionably corrupt government strong arming a corporation but regardless of how much power you think Google has if the US president wanted too every Google employee could end up being locked up heck Gitmo is still technically open...

Google might have a lot of soft power due to how big and wealthy they are, but in the end of the day soft power gets you only so far.
Here's an analogy. You can get fired for always being late to work, but not get fired for bad behaviour (even crime) outside of work... say drunk driving.

This doesn't mean that being late to work is worse than drunk driving, or that person A is worse than person B. Not everything is a general judgement on worth or character.

Thanks for sharing. I figured that f11, which Jeff used, would provide a deeper depth of field, but it's not as deep as I had imagined.

Edit: Turns out the photo was taken a half mile away, so it's still rather forgiving in regards to focus.
For those in SF, I'm not aware of a queue or even appointments needed as of this week. Just go to a CVS store, etc.

Pretty sure when this actually happened, vaccines were not actually open to anyone that just wanted one.
why do people putting their vmware vcenter onto the internet?
>there's nothing heroic about it

The whole medal thing is laying it on a bit thick and sure the rat doesn't know wtf is going on, but I do think the word is warranted.

This rat found 71 land mines. That's 71 mines that are not stepped on by some kid playing soccer in a field.

Yes there are issues with forcing animals do thing, but that seems pretty worthy of grandiose terms.
Working for them simply fills time during which you're losing value, so turn down the offer. Even at a higher rate you should refuse unless they promise a move to other skill sets soon.
For what is worth, there's a huge blast radius if any of the top 3 collapse, with Tether (as the 3rd) likely having the smallest one - think of what happens to everything else when bitcoin crashes or even dips significantly.
I'm the person this original tweet was about.

None of you know any of the internal details but what I can state is that Paul has no idea what he's talking about and later admits to the fact I wasn't lying.

Here's the order of events:

1. I went to a neighborhood clinic in Oakland, CA that's literally next door to my house, I can see the church from my window. Paul lives in NYC which is on the opposite end of the country.

2. I asked them about eligibility and told them I don't clear CA guidelines. They told me it's first come, first served with an ID showing I am 18+.

3. I showed up the next day, waited in line for 4 hours then got jabbed.

4. Posted it in an internal forum for other founders.

5. A few people had issues so raised them which I addressed but YC still took down the post within the day.

6. I appealed but YC still held their decision as final.

Outcome: YC founder came with his aunt, uncle, and mom all over 65 to get jabbed who didn't know about the vaccine site.

---

Paul ends up tweeting about it and making a huge deal around something he has no idea about. He gets a bunch of people on Twitter upset about something they don't know about.

Outcome: Internet rage.
Have you done much vr? Badly animated limbs are much worse than floating head, hands and torso.
There needs to be trust for this. And there is always a power dynamic at play. Manager to employee. Or even employee to employee where one will eventually get promoted above the other.

Its actually really hard to agree to disagree. You need to have a situation where each person has the same propensity to concede an argument. Like a code review - just do what the other person suggests instead of arguing about it if it really doesn’t matter that much.
Any suggestion about good presentations?
Overlay support tends to be very limited - it's effectively blitting to the final framebuffer after compositing, which means no transparency and a limited number of surfaces. The desire is for the compositor or any other shaders to be able to read YCbCr surfaces natively, converting to RGB as a part of the sample.

Namely, VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion. I'm actually not sure if other APIs provide the equivalent yet, the HW capability is pretty recent...
I've read a fair few of these long after their sell-by date, and I can't really think of any that are negatively affected by the date.

For example, Arthur C Clarke's Odyssey series largely concerns itself with the progression over a thousand years, not actual affairs in 2001 or 2010. The same is true of Earth Abides, it feels quite timeless in spirit¹ as it simply uses the date as a way to mark the progression of the new order.

A couple feel like they're barely a minor typo in the year too. For example, Nineteen Ninety-Four feels disturbingly prescient if you know people who are Roomba or Samsung fridge users.

I wonder if the setting affects the enjoyment for others, or it simply falls in to the "suspend your disbelief" that is necessary to enjoy the works regardless.

¹ Although, definitely not in language. There is a fair amount that I feel would be objectionable if it was published today.
>Jeff: When I interview candidates for jobs here, I always mention how more than 500 hours of video content on average is uploaded every minute to the platform - that always resonates with them.

Jeff seems like pretentious upper management. Not sure about others, but when I interview at companies and they brag about their scale, it's really off-putting.
Epstein has connections with a lot of people. Not all of them were engaging in nefarious behavior

Billionaires have their own private jet sharing, and Epstein provided a lot of funding to the science community.

Epstein was shady and connections to him should be scrutinized and researched , as they will be with Gates. But to think that we trying to cover up your post with this news is silly. The story by OP is genuinely newsworthy IMO.
That makes perfect sense actually, thank you for taking the time to answer. And I’m indeed a SW eng with a degree, so spot on. I do something similar to data analysis «for fun»/non professinally but my day job is payment/banking systems. Live payment systems and settlement systems are both very different from analysis tasks. They have all the focus on «correctness» and integration interfaces with other organizations (which are ALWAYS wrong because «they» don’t understand types/strict interfaces). While analysis in my experience is dealing with tons of dirty data sources not in real time or the code will even just run once (not millions of times). I always go to cleaning the input and validating the data, but I suspect that is because of my day job and i feel it is less valuable to put in this effort than it is for my day job. So I have myself also skipped using types many times to learn whatever library I need or to iterate quicly (minutes compared to days). For example, it is very comfortable to just let pandas give you 0 for NaN when you just want a plot. So I understand it takes more time because the value of types is probably much lower to you in absolute terms.
I guess you are right. After that experience, I was very cautious to work for another company, because I find it very difficult to keep my mouth shut. I love to discuss how things are wrong and how I had an idea of how to improve things. Now, I am building my own company and will try to walk that walk when bringing my own employees.
It's not immediately clear which laws. The whole point of the CFAA was that existing trespass & theft laws don't really work for digital files.
They failed to implement multi-factor authentication on their VPNs. This is one of the most common attack vectors. VPNs by themselves are not enough. Over two thirds of corporate attacks with VPNs have been through compromised static credentials.

There are numerous ways of integrating VPNs with MFA ranging from a RADIUS integration to a SAML one. At Saas Pass the admin can choose and implement up to 15 different methods of MFA to VPNs ranging from FIDO keys to push approval to scanning encrypted barcodes to SMS (not recommended) etc...

Disclaimer: Worked on the design of some of the mfa interfaces for the SAML based VPNs and the access control policies.
"Try to damage Ycombinator"... How?

> Why are adults in the US using Twitter/GIF memes instead of finding thoughtful and mature ways

This way they evoke more emotion, so, more of the unthinking (feeling-based) approval: retweets, reposts, just being remembered. When it's funny, it makes people happier along the way, when it's angry, it may make people also feel anger, but a righteous, just anger.

It's a potent drug which is very hard to stop taking recreationally, and also for a just cause. Not as a poster, but most importantly as a reader.

Where the perf. really matters, and shaders are involved, doesn't everyone use texture compression formats like ETC1 and PVRTC?

Food critic is a third party. If the description is honest and contains reasoning it can be constructive to readers (potential/current customer(s) and/or the restaurant(s)). Something along the line of "sucked, bad taste" contains no substance whereas "food was burned and flavor X and Y was a bad combination" does contain substance.
Other than technical books, I find myself rarely read any book these days. And I have a bad habit of leaving about the last 15-20% un-read. I need to change this.
Do you propose that Bezos should pay his taxes at the same rates my neighbors and I pay? That sounds good, but I don't see what it has to do with bitcoin. Do you allege that he is hiding income by not reporting it? It has been my impression that he prefers instead to hire people to write the tax law in his interests.

You keep focusing on the enforcement itself rather than the goals we hope to accomplish via enforcement. I infer that you have a special fascination for enforcement, but please understand that many people do not share this special fascination with you.
Sadly, it's probably happening more with all the "work from home". I imagine lots of Shodan queries for vcenter right now. Apparently "intitle:id_vc_welcome" returns vcenter servers on Google.
Most of those make no sense to me. Why does chopping up a chicken (a chicken patty) make any difference? Same with fish. If I chop it and roll it in bread crumbs and freeze it it's suddenly "ultra processed"? So if I freeze raw fish is that "ultra processed". If I grind the raw fish with my teeth before swallowing has it suddenly become "ultra processed"?

Even corn chips, they're just corn meal, oil, and salt. Unless you mean something like favored Doritos, normal corn chips are aren't remotely "ultra processed".

If I was to go by gut feelings on unprocessed to processed on your list, assuming I was making each of them myself, on a scale of 1 to 10

1 Raw fish filet

1 Canned Fish

2 Frozen Fish Fingers

1 Corn on the cob

1 Frozen Corn

2 Corn Chips

1 Raw chicken breast

2 Rotisserie Chicken

1 Chicken patty (it's chopped chicken)

1 Peanuts

2 Peanut Butter

3 Peanut M&Ms

1 Milk

2 Cheese

10 Powdered cheese sauce mix (unless this is easier to make than I understand)

1 Brown rice

2 White rice

3 Rice Krispies

1 Wheat

2 Simple bread

3 Chocolate chip cookies

Basically only 1 item on your list would even fit "processed" for me. I think many of those numbers are also misleading. I wouldn't put white rice as 2x processed over brown rice. More like 1.25. Same with cheese, rotisserie chicken
This is super interesting. Do you have any more details on the use of JPEG2000 for geometry? I would be curious to hear more.
I have a silly question, first I'm not an expert on operating systems internals, second I'm not trying to imply that all the hard work from these brave souls is a waste of time, third I do understand they joy as a programmer of working on your own little universe, even if the community is tiny, and don't want to discourage anyone working on this project.

but why not use like a BSD kernel and then attach the BeOS/Haiku window manager on top, implement the BeOS API ("bine") against BSD, so you can run all apps. You would get lots for free, drivers, kernel security, tried & tested, ACL (don't know how that would work against BeFS), ports, etc.

I tried BeOS 5 just before it was scrapped. Sad.

Edit: Some answers here. But if wine works, why couldn't bine work?

And, perhaps more importantly, the article was written in order to bring attention to the work that is being done to remove land mines. Giving medals to "hero rats" seems like a pretty cheap way to secure additional funding for a worthwhile cause.
YUV has been the standard video Color encoding on TV.
It is in fact a backwards compatible extension to black and white as the wikipedia page puts it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV

while not standard, writing a shader to decode is not hard(admittedly if you know shaders)

The time I spent dealing with video decode/encode was not pleasurable but interesting.

The really hard part is the actual encoding/decoding algorhtims
