> It is even worse than Swing (for those who don't know: That's Javas GUI technology. From the 90s).

As someone who loved Swing and used to hate JavaScript, that's really nonsense if you actually want to be a UI developer (and not just some side afterthought).

State management and the custom capabilities when you need them are amazing. I wasted a lot of my time writing tons of Swing code. Sorry, but the modern front end experience is much more enjoyable and productive. If you want "native widgets" I get the complaint, but most platforms seem to be less interested in consistent experiences these days.
Here, have a re-up. It seems weird that Woz is treated like a god, yet kept at arm's length; you'd think everybody would beg him to be CEO of their company just for the street cred. Alas, even posing the question pisses people off (although I was thinking HN pushes new questions a little ways upwards so that it doesn't become one endless argument about the first thing posted)
As someone who wrote an 2 attendance apps (in PHP and Rails) for my church, and a time-and-attendance app (with a checkin/checkout page) for a previous employer (which I've heard is still being used, many years later), let me say that I think there are 2 things at work here.

First, you can't underestimate the value of software that works EXACTLY like you need it to. At both my church and my job, the software I wrote did something very specific to those organizations, and NOTHING else. At the church, the key was making a great interface on a small device, and various people would use Palm Pilots to quickly and discreetly mark people as having attended. At the job, the key was in making the online form work exactly like the paper sheet that people had been filling out, and then making a single page for the person who did the billing, which had 2 pivot tables for time, one for employee hours, and one for customer project hours. Both systems were very fast, and you could do your thing in seconds.

Second, any T&A system you buy/rent is trying to be all things to all people, and violates the first point, which makes them hard(er) to use, and adds friction to your internal process. I think you'll see the problem if you rephrase your question like this: "I thought general ledger was a solved problem." It was. 40 years ago. And 90% of IT in the 90's was in customizing off-the-shelf systems to work like companies needed them to.

I work for one company, wholly-contracted to another. The first company uses Workday, which I guess is taking over the world now. It's perfectly awful in an expected way. The parent company has just written their own time tracking tool, and it's predictably terrible. It takes several seconds to click through each project number, and there's a lag on entering hours in each day. But, this is what you get when you're stuck in the outsourced, waterfall development mindset from 25 years ago. I expected nothing else. In my opinion, both of these decisions were the opposite of what needed to happen. My small consulting company should have used an internal resource or 2 to roll our own, and the mothership should have subscribed to Workday.
Compliance is painful because it’s hard to come up with precise NPVs on “we need to do it to avoid bad outcomes and because of the law.” It’s a shared tax that grows as the company grows, but the benefit is unseen. So compliance becomes a function of the political power of the leaders.
I've been actively working on this technology, goal is making it cheaper and simplify installation.
Stanford's a highly reflective surface ~95% combined with stacks layers of silica oxide on a wafer under vacume. The trick too achieving bellow ambient temperature is too reflect nearly all solar energy while emitting strongly in the "atmospheric window". Most silica compounds are well suited as emitters, however the hard part is adding a reflector too the silica and minimising heat transfer from the environment.
I've managed to make a meta material paint, reflector and emmiter that achieved bellow ambient temperature, with bulky conventional insulation. as for any effective cooling bellow ambient.

Radiative cooling is just not that strong of heat transfer, what you want too look our for is the research into reflective coatings needrthese systems too function.

Because Comcast has a repeated, long-term pattern of manipulating the contract to be one-sided against you, of taking every bad action that the contract might even possibly allow, and arguably of violating the contract, whereas Cloudflare does not have a comparable pattern of such actions?

Because there's about a 99 percent chance that the contract is either completely silent about the matters of immediate concern, or has some language that implies they are actively allowed to act badly in those ways; the contract therefore offers you absolutely zero protection; and there is absolutely no way you can renegotiate the contract?

Lawsuits are incredibly impractical, and that's assuming you even ever detect the behavior you expect to be suing over.
CO2 concentration will mix with other gases, so the dynamic is different. It is still concerning even though the numbers work differently than temperatures. CO2 accumulates over longer time, so appear smoother also.
Ask HN: What frank discussion would you have with these two types of co-founders
Consider these two scenarios:

1. You decide to start a company with your childhood friend who you know very well.

2. You decide to start a company with a person you met online just a few weeks ago. You both click and decide to work together.

In both of the above scenarios what frank and candid discussion would you have with your co-founder before starting the company? How will the discussion in these two scenarios differ keeping in mind that one is a childhood friend and the other is a stranger?
Or laptop schematics - they're all leaks.
Since they decided to kill Glade, it kind of lost the appeal to anyone that actually does UI/UX.
Interesting, given that HN thinks that it is yandex who has SOA image search, not google
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23976172 which kinda counters your logic.

It is yandex who now collects massive amounts of data to improve their image search now, while google apparently doesn't.

Yandex is a giant, for sure, but google is, like, 10 times bigger and still doesn't provide the best service.
It is you who is confused - ethics and morals are basically the same thing, and both are about processes to figure what is ethical and what isn't according to some set of ideas; neither is about prescribing anything, and there certainly isn't anything like The Set of Ethical Things and The Set of Unethical Things. "X is ethical" is always a short-hand for "within the framework I and/or my surroundings or audience subscribes to X can be argued to be ethical".
This isn't true, and it's easy to check: go to your subscriptions page and compare to each channels' published videos. There should be none missing.

I have 65 subs, and 100% of the videos from each channel are on my subscriptions page, with some channels publishing only once a month, or once a quarter.
Please don't assume bad faith. Glade was not "killed," there are technical reasons why Glade cannot be used for GTK4 (I can give more detail if you want). There is currently a new tool being developed by a Glade maintainer, catch this guadec talk later this month if you want to know more: https://events.gnome.org/event/9/contributions/191/

Nobody is particularly happy about having to edit the XML directly but it's the best option right now until the new tools stabilize.
I feel like its pushing for a future where source available becomes equivalent to open source.
I like the term “provide and conquer” as well.
I've interviewed a few DS candidates from teams that were very invested in particular data/ML platforms who I could have sworn were doing this. ("How would you implement X if $PLATFORM didn't implement it for you?" "I'm not sure, but I don't see a reason not to just use $PLATFORM.")

I never really thought they were doing this, and I think they were employed by big well-known companies (definitely not the company that makes $PLATFORM). Just kind of a weird pattern.
How do you have your phone with you? Stash it in the bathroom? At my university the invigilators make you show what's in your pockets before and after going to the bathroom (which has itself been checked, and which has a log of people and times), and you can't take anything out (e.g. formula sheet to secretly copy somehow-bathroom-stashed notes onto) or bring anything in. Phones are in bags up the front of the room, inaccessible. The kinds of things you're talking about very rarely happens, and consequences include fines and academic penalties.
Yeah there’s nothing about DoH that a Google or any IoT device maker couldn’t have done 10 years ago if they really wanted to bypass local DNS servers.
honestly, once the terms Google and bank account were used in the same sentence, 'not a fucking chance' should be my default reaction.
Which is fine for most users. I don't want every app doing its own inefficient push/pull notifications and tanking my battery, and I am as pro open source/etc/etc as most here.
A friend of mine did something similar in San Francisco, in the 90s. She was paid to go to expensive bars, look fabulous and have a good time drinking Hennessey Martinis, occasionally mentioning the booze and buying drinks.

She had a great time doing it.
Hmm, Pakistan used DST for a few years but that is missing from their map
> I terms of providing value to the world at large they should have gone with Wozniak.

As a personality, I like Wozniak more. If I ever had a chance to meet Jobs and Wozniak in person, I suspect that I would find Wozniak to be a much better person than Jobs. That being said, I think that Jobs provided much more value to the world.

Wozniak's chief contribution to the world is the Apple II. It is a wonderful computer with fun stories behind its development, but the computer industry would have gone on without it. Apple's early years are culturally significant since it was one of the few success stories that wasn't corporate (in contrast to the Commodore PET and Tandy TRS-80), but that story is probably the most significant part about the company.

Contrast that to Jobs. As a minimum, the Apple II and Macintosh can be contributed to him. Without his drive, the Apple II would likely be remembered as one of the multitude of personal computers that didn't make it in the marketplace. Without his drive, the GUI as a consumer product would have been set back years and would probably have looked very different. As expensive as the original Macintosh was, it was far less expensive than many of its contemporaries. As crude as the original Macintosh user interface was, it did provide a model for later products. Perhaps his antagonistic attitude towards user serviceability takes away from that, but it isn't all that different from how appliances were treated in the mid-1980's.

>I assume it must resonate with voters.

Most voters care more about things like their salary, healthcare, education, retirement and real estate prices, and in general just making ends meet, not which SV megacorp gets to be the defacto tech monopoly.

Intel being a vertical monopoly is a large part of their downfall. Once the manufacturing side stumbled the entire company was impacted.

Medical students in the UK were forced into incontinence for their exams due to proctoring failures. The same has also been happening with doctors doing their postgraduate exams.

You need to give a range of questions from challenging like that to easy regurgitation to discern their level of understanding and be able to assign them an appropriate grade.

It would, however, be against the law for Cook to claim $20,000 worth of shares were $2,000 so he could stay under the limit.

The same is true for Thiel: a private company doesn’t have such an easy way to document market value but he had insider knowledge suggesting that $0.0001/share was low, as their own SEC filings acknowledged. I would prefer that the fix be to set a tax-free cap (e.g. pay capital gains on returns over $10M) but I suspect that kind of example will get the most attention because it’s pretty clear that he low-balled it and even if that’s perfectly legal it won’t seem fair to the vast majority of the population who never have access to pre-IPO shares, much less the ability to claim their own valuation.
> if the contractors are vetted and proven to deliver value.

But how can you tell this is not just bait-and-switch itself? The most senior person with an impressive resume is vetted and proven to deliver value, but how can you know if the actual contractors you are getting from wherever are good?
I think this equivalence is what supposed to be. At least availability for non-commercial purposes.
That is a very abstract thought, one that could possibly lead to a very interesting philosophical discussion about society.

In the mean time, however, we live in a market economy where publishers exist, and they are a business. Of course they are interested in customers, and yes, they would be scientists and students.

Am I saying that that's the best way to organize academic publishing? No. What I'm saying is that I don't see any justification for circumventing paywalls within a society that adheres to certain laws and regulations.

I believe in a system where the people can critically assess and evaluate all laws and regulations and has the power to get them changed. I don't believe in a system where people can just pick the laws and regulations that suit them and choose to ignore the other ones.
I see, as a non-US resident the article seems pretty benign/inconsequential:

"US politician who worked in the military is part of the establishment and the unit he worked with might have had contacts with the intelligence (not necessarily CIA), DEA and US Treasury, news at 11."
"Parts delivery from Hamburg" is a thing I hear repeatedly month-after-month from the repair, purchasing, and inventory departments. Small world.
This happened with my wife’s anesthesiologist during labor - the resident did his first epidural on her. I didn’t love it, but everyone has to learn at some point - and calling it out at the time could have caused more frustration, concern, and delay in the procedure (missing the window for getting one due to contractions). I also didn’t ask how many he had done, but I overheard it prior to him starting. I think asking him about his experience could have caused him to get nervous.

It turned out fine.
The notion that higher education is all about self-enlightenment would be more plausible if these institutions did not issue degrees or other certificates and their students would be satisfied with this.
At the time, the religious group being responded to (Catholics) were solidly democrats. Catholics have been solidly democrat until 2016. There is no way you can blame the GOP for Catholic behavior.
Most fights are chaotic and end up on the ground. I guess someone unprovoked could walk up to another random person and head butt them (why not just punch or elbow then?), but c'mon that's not how street/bar fights work. People posture for a bit, etc...by the time a fight starts it's not a surprise.

If we're going to go down the imaginary perfect situation, we're back to day 1 MMA/self defense lessons now. In a situation you control distance, either too far away to be hit or close enough for a take down. The fight is over in 10 seconds because the grappler has shot a double leg, put the other person on their back and is beating the crap out of them before the other person even knows what's happened. The grappler also has hundreds or thousands of fights that are about as close to reality as one can get.

As the other responder said, there are numerous videos out there now showing that grappling (MMA, BJJ, wrestling) sports are superior in any real life situation because that's how a large majority of real life situations go down.

This happened not long ago, and the football almost lost their eye...

> only real winner in a fight is the one that walks away before it starts.

I 100% agree. After training BJJ for years, I've learned never to underestimate anyone. It's a bit counter intuitive, but the more someone learns to fight, the less they want to fight (outside of training of course).

This reminds me of the Key and Peele robber sketch when the heist plan is to get a job at the bank, work there 30 years, and get a regular paycheck so the bank is giving you the loot without ever suspecting it.
Did he? As I understand it, other car companies managed to create attractive electric vehicles, often at a better price point. I feel like soon enough, Tesla's first mover advantage might evaporate, and large auto companies with a century of experience will take over.

Perhaps it's just my general disinterest in modern cars, but I don't really see what distinguishes Teslas from other electric vehicles. It has four wheels and a big touch screen, like all the other cars.
The article says otherwise, and that they gave a cut of their commission to the company supplying the fake candidate.
Yes. Which is more or less a decade.

Hays was a republican. And also president of MPAA. That one republican worked towards the Hays code is not evidence that the GOP as a whole desired it.

Personally, it seems to me to be a code developed at a time of differing cultural values, that likely would have been supported by any mainstream politician.

Mirrorless cameras with phase detection have actually existed for a long time - actually since 2010 - before they became practical with EVFs and better batteries.

Something that really slowed it down is that Canon filed a patent for Dual Pixel AF which was the first on sensor pdaf system to outperform previous systems, and then proceeded to not make any serious mirrorless camera using it. All the worse is that DPAF was a fairly minor invention that other companies didn't do first mostly because they didn't have the manufacturing capabilities yet - basically using a microlens to split the light instead of a divider to obscure it.

So Sony had to find ways to make it work without infringing on the patents and without artifacts.
That may be true. But I don't think that the perceived greed of one actor should serve as a justification of circumventing a paywall.
> The kinds of things you're talking about very rarely happens, and consequences include fines and academic penalties.

You are making assumptions based on your own experiences, and they are incorrect.

You have a lot of faith in for-profit entities.
> "Richard Stallman wasn't attacked for doing the right thing."

He absolutely was. For defending a dead person who was being accused of sexual assault. Most people won't even take the risk of tarnishing their own reputation given that the accused is dead.
> Second, DoH is decentralized, you can still use other resolvers other than Cloudflare, and you can still chain resolvers together.

... but in practice almost all Firefox users will end up using one of the very few designated Mozilla TRRs. That's an increase in centralization, as measured on the ground. Social and behavioral effects count.

You can't claim one minute that "we're doing this to take care of naive users who can't protect themselves", and the next minute that "users can set up any arcane configuration they want".

In the end, you screw the naive users by increasing their practical centralization, and you screw the sophisticated users by adding complexity, breaking whatever protections they already have in place, and making it impossible for them to secure all of the applications on their systems at the same time.

Oh, and on edit, I guess I should address "first" as well as "second":

Nothing was stopping ISPs from blocking alternative DNS before... but very few people were using alternative DNS before, so it didn't have a lot of impact on ISPs' priorities. If you suddenly take away the ISPs' visibility into many people's DNS, then the ISPs get a reason to care. All kinds of things skate under the radar if they're not deployed at scale, but provoke responses when they get big enough to be threatening.
Am I the only person who feels that it's copyright that's the issue rather than machine learning training sets?

Consider a new additional feature added on to Copilot - a language aware rewriting tool that transforms the initial generated code into a new form with equivalent functionality.

It would be nearly impossible to trace the original code or make a copyright claim.

However - you could use this same trick directly on copyrighted code. Now things are even murkier...

But I would argue that this is essentially what our brains are doing. I've read code, got the gist of it and written my own version. Technically it's not a clean-room reimplementation but an average coder wouldn't realistically expect to get sued for copyright for doing this.

Maybe they should but if you're an open source advocate and you've reached this position then there's something very weird going on.

I always thought the idea of open source was to use copyright against itself because we believed in openness. Not embracing it and just throwing out one small aspect of it.
