OTOH with the unambitious encoding parameters they are very easy to cut with ffmpeg, or at least the MP4s produced by my helmet camera are. I mean, the cheaper the hardware, the fewer frames it'll be able to buffer, so I-frames should come pretty regularly.

I wrote a very simple video editor: video playback, some scrubbing controls on the arrow keys to jump around, and space bar to mark / unmark segments to keep (capturing timestamps). Run ffmpeg to cut the bits out then move source video to a different directory, ready to be deleted.

This cut down on my video volume 100x, while I still retained a few old commute videos, as a keepsake for that time in my life.
Surely most decent laptops being sold are HiDPI at this point?

It's important to read the stated reason from the company for his firing. He was fired for spreading "unhelpful stereotypes". These differences might be obvious and natural to most of the world but they are unhelpful and not welcome in that company. The company wanted to fight against the stereotypes as they considered those a barrier. It's important to realise that the company in that episode never fought to properly and logically argue against the stereotypes and why they were factually false versus others arguing why they were true because that would have been much more troublesome. Much discussions on HN seem to get stuck around the logic and truth nature of the issue - where the actual stated reasons is all about what's "helpful" or not.

In other words, if enough people feel something is sexist then it's in a company's best interest to agree with them.

I don't understand. This guy fled the justice system of a democracy, and we are telling the story as if he were the hero escaping the gulag of some authoritarian country. Why do we tell his story as if it was "good" ?

I'm going to go against convention and say this might be a good move for Netflix.

They specifically hired someone from EA mobile division. Console/PC games vs mobile games are built with vastly different audiences in mind.

Netflix has an audience that enjoys a bit of couch time. Couch co-op games are a heck of a lot of fun and there is a huge audience for casual gamers. Think games like Jackbox Party Pack.

This might be big for them if pulled off right.
Well, I guess it's JavaScript to blame. But well, maybe it's unfair to blame JavaScript which was implemented in 10 days and not meant for large/serious applications. How much can you expect from 10 days worth of work of a single man? But the reality is that now almost everyone is trying to build something if not everything with JavaScript. The reason behind all this might be all the sudden, we have so much computing power to abuse.

> If advertisers put in the effort

I'd go so far as to say that for a decade advertisers and social media experts have been given a more or less free ride.

It's often not the companies themselves who manages the ad buy, it's agencies who only knows how to click around in Facebook or Google AdWord. They have NO IDEA how to run an effective ad campaign or how to buy ad space.

The advertisers just see the numbers the agencies gives them, and in self defence user privacy is attacked and not the competency of the ad agencies.
> Very few people are even able to consider just how much of how they view the world is on account of the way they have been taught.

I'd posit that the people who think this does not apply to them actually demonstrate this just as much as anyone else. We all make subconscious decisions about what we are going to follow and accept versus challenge because if you challenged everything you wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. How do I know I _really_ need to eat breakfast, or take a shower, or go to work today? Most of the time we operate on autopilot and we save our mental capital for decisions where we think we need it.

And we all prioritize the importance of decisions differently, and that's ok. For some of us, that important decision is, should I buy a device that let's a big corp spy on me. For others it might be, should I call my mother who I got in a fight with yesterday. For everyone with their own stack ranked list of priorities, other people's look "wrong".

Tldr, some people know they are being surveilled in since capacity and do not care, and that's ok.

The clause only affects when the platform is big enough. It's a concentration of power in the hands of a few, certainly not the shareholders as you say in other comment. That such a concentration of power will be abused is almost a law of nature and so laws are put into place, the same way there are laws to prevent monopolies, to the detriment of shareholders also. You may think that this practicalities don't align with your ideology which is fine but as someone living in a country with multiple nation wide and regional state owned television channels I think they are terrible idea because they are extremely inefficient compared with private ones and also degenerate into propaganda machines for the political party in power, and the longer the same party is in power the worse.
I can guarantee I never have and never will click on an ad, out of spite. I've never bought things from ads directly nor transitively.

Metabolomics of Endurance Capacity in World Tour Professional Cyclists
I bundle and distribute GCC for an OS distribution and I can count 5 dependencies for building GCC from source (not including a host toolchain), two of which are also runtime dependencies. That means if you're installing GCC, you also need to install binutils and a C library. GCC itself, of course, bundles a number of dependencies like the gcc toolchain driver, the cc1 and cc1plus compilers, the collect2 linker front-ender, plus a number of runtime libraries both for the toolchain and for bundling into the executable. If you're targeting C++ that adds a couple more runtime dependencies which can optionally be bundled with GCC. Of course, everything also depends on the host runtime.

Some OS distributions split GCC into multiple packages with interdependencies, putting for exaple the C preprocessor into a separate package from the compiler proper (which is odd, considering it's the same executable, but there are historic reasons).

So, an exact number of dependencies for GCC, depending on how it gets packaged for your development host, can range from 3 to 14 or 15.
Those are both brilliant, btw.

Actually they do. A relatively cheap 13" laptop with a Full-HD screen is already considered HighDPI by Windows 10, where it uses a default of 125% scaling (or maybe 150%, not sure). Applications not supporting HighDPI (aka Retina) properly will likely have a relatively bad appearance (blurry icons, possibly blurry fonts, etc.). Even some integrated Windows features (hardware manager, to name one) have this problem... :-(

https://kateofgaia.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/behold-a-whit...

The job we have - as I see it - is to act according to what we know. There is a big difference between what you know and what you *think* you know. Eg, do you know your date of birth? No, you do not. You do not remember it - you only know what you are told. Knowing is personally verifying! Say what you see and don't lie to yourself or others.

If you do not personally verify the stories you are told, you will be 'lost in stories'. Someone else (not you) is controlling the narrative. Technology is just the latest iteration of the stories - we also have government, religion, law, our 'educated' peers, etc.

Most machines I've seen can be configured at least on 3 parameters (names might be diferent):

-Base grip power

-Improved grip power

-Probability of improved grip.

Some have two actuators with different powers, some actually introduce a delay in the grip with a single actuator, and so on, so it might be not exactly like that.

What I mean, they're set up according to the wishes of the operator. Sometimes it's the same as the owner of the venue, sometimes the venue rents the space to the operator.

So it's totally normal to find some that are more skill-based than others, even within the same manufacturer and model.

Story time: a friend worked in an arcade/bowling venue in the early 2000s, they had 3 machines, and changed the settings weekly to extract more money. Basically one of the machines had higher probabilities just at the level of breaking even, but that was enough to have someone stick around for longer and attract other customers to the other two. The week after those who had "luck" that came back would stick to the same to show off (and fail). Occasionally short queues for certain machines appeared.
I’ve never heard the sun thing, interesting - any idea why that might be? Avoiding carbs/sugars seems to help me a bit, I think. Do you have any good links for common triggers, how to spot them, etc? I never seem to ‘learn’ mine because there’s always so many possibilities of what could have triggered a flare.
Deep ocean wind has potential too. It's currently very expensive, of course, but the costs will fall substantially if it scales up. Oceanic wind is much more consistent and powerful than onshore/near-shore.
With 2G of RAM you're talking about a $15 part. Bump it up to 4G and you've got plenty for 36T of zpool - I know from my own experience. Consider the price of the hard drives and it's a single digit % of the overall cost.
IIRC, Litecoin seemed like significant work, but after that, you could create a Scrypt altcoin by copying a source tree and doing not much more than changing the name (and pre-mining, because that's probably the point).
It is "slow" relative to the overhead of calling from WASM into JS to manipulate the DOM from JS.

To be fair, I don't know how many clock cycles creating, destroying or modifying a DOM node costs on average, but most likely "a lot" compared to the overhead of a WASM to JS call because a lot more machinery is involved.

> I always overspec projects because I can easily guess what demons lie on the horizon.

What opened my eyes was stories on HN about projects that were little more than a glorified webform that sent an email at first. User volume was so low that it was more cost-effective to have a form send the email and have an actual human do the task manually.

When the project picked up (proving the concept had actual clients), they started automating the process at certain pain points, eventually ending in a fully automated system, which did exactly what it needed and nothing more.
Conditional moves aren't as good for performance as you'd think. You can take this as hearsay, because I haven't spent nearly enough time on this to form an opinion myself, but what I've heard--

Is that cmov is only faster than regular branches if the branch prediction regularly fails. Otherwise it's the same speed, or it can even be slower. And most branches are predictable.

It doesn't change the data dependencies, it only reduces overhead from branch misprediction. I suppose the instruction itself has a lot of overhead.
That's unfair. Twitter does have a huge impact on a lot of people. Twitter banning Donald Trump was a huge deal, for example. He has a smaller platform now and (imo) the world is a better place for it. The Earth wouldn't stop rotating on its axis if Twitter were to shut down, I'll give you that, but business as usual would change for a lot of people.

My read on this is "Patreon for OSS/corporate relations".

Start a Patreon-like business where corporations/users can sign up to give a monthly donation-subscription-contribution to a slew of OSS developers, anywhere from $1 / mo to $$$. Reduce the friction of financially supporting every tiny project you make use of. Throw in a nice suite of uniform communication channels for bug requests and version announcements.

This is the Hollywood version of problems with AI.

Real life equivalent: "AI changed the margin on humanitarian aid in country X by 28%", the end result would be war as well but the decision wouldn't be "war or peace" it would be "a little more cost-savings vs a little higher risk of problems".

And it's not sci-fi, see 2008 crisis and its consequences. Bad model that gives short-term profits is almost always preferred over good model that reduces profits.

Or, to put it in Gulag/private prisons terms: "on the advice of AI we decreased calory intake of our prisoners by 30%" sounds much better than "kill prisoners by overworking and strvation".

This is the kind of false choice that simply can't be allowed; similar to selling oneself into slavery or selling one's organs are not considered valid transactions.

And, yes, I know most of those examples are from the UK, which is not in the EU any more, so not directly affected by the ruling. But that's where I live and the rules I'm familiar with [all of which were in place while the UK was in the EU]. Similar exemptions for 'oppressed minorities' from the rules everyone else has to follow are common throughout the EU and beyond.

Personal anecdote: Whilst going through security in an EU airport, I was ordered to take off the bandana I had tied round my head. When I objected on the grounds that security weren't demanding that moslems remove their head coverings, I was told "That's different. Those are worn for religious reasons"

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to tot up the number of areoplanes, buses, markets, etc. that have been blown up for "reasons of being a long haired rocker type" and compare with the number blown up "for religious reasons"

> but who should be and shouldn't be in business based on tracking is not for you (or me, or anyone) to decide

I generally agree with the poster. A majority of "modern" companies that pop up have one of two strategies nowadays:

1. No sustainable business model, nothing to sell to users. Grow as fast as possible, get bought by one of the established megacorps.

2. The product is kind of there, but it is only an excuse to grab as much data as possible. Again nothing to sell to actual users.

The ad business has kind of become a market that trades among themselves, they don't sell anything but the promise for others to sell more, except now companies that mainly sell ads also buy advertisements for their business.

It's become a huge house of cards and you really have to wonder what the reason for their existence is.

Thinking purely as a customer the fact that I have just no way to just give a company my money and in turn they'll just leave me alone with all of their useless and hostile bull** is hugely frustrating and I think they deserve to go out of business if they truly have no other way to keep the shop running.

No, I do not want this single strawberry for free just for you to break into my house and photocopy as many documents as you can (and leak them to the public a few months later because you don't care a single bit about keeping your data secure)...
I spent the last 10 days in a hut on the edge of the Amazon and am in a hotel in Lima, waiting for my flight out of Peru. Seeing this story, I thought I'd add one brief first hand account.

The jungle was noticeably cut down since I had last been there 7 months ago. What had been just a hiking trail to our camp had been widened to the size of a road by all the tree clearing. The trees are pretty thin and not the best wood. I hear they're mostly used for making charcoal.

Next to where I was staying is land owned by a wealthy foreigner in Lima. She bought it to maintain it as jungle. But "ownership" is a funny thing. People moved onto her land and set up a community. It's what locals call an invasión. They had the backing of a politician, so the cops did nothing. The rumor was she was beating them in court and some people were going to jail. At the same time, a bulldozer was coming in widening the trail to the invasión into a road.

The land there is more like settling the frontier than buying a parcel in a suburb. People don't respect a barbed wire fence, no trespassing sign and a piece of paper. They will generally respect you living on the land. Residents visibly establish their ownership. Even the smallest town will have a giant sign welcoming you. Houses sitting on just two acres will have a sign and name (usually fundo something) and maybe even their claimed property borders on it. You need to reside in your home, or someone else might be when you get back.

I'm sympathetic to the tree-clearing locals. You're living in poverty, there are some trees sitting over there you can cut and sell, but you're not supposed to. Why? Because a foreigner in a big city has a piece of paper? Because some countries that exploited their own resources and launched themselves into modernity say you can't do the same? I get why you'd buy a machete and walk off into the jungle, then buy a chainsaw once you can afford it.

At the same time, I'd rather they didn't do that. I used to feel guilt about visiting the jungle. The boards that make our hut were cut from somewhere. Maybe the best thing to do if you love nature is live downtown in a city and send money to a preservation charity. But I also see the value of people who are stewards of the land. You have to cut down an acre to build the community, but that lets you protect many more. So I plan to keep visiting and keep supporting.
