It definitely can be built with mono, though im more familiar with the dotnet cli and would probably like to keep using it, which is open source.
It was also built on a ThinkPad, on stolen land... The license is just an attempt, and probably an unenforceable one at that, to keep certain people from benefiting from the tool. Its also to get people to think about it, which is working :)

We highlighted something similar in the multi-objective optimisation literature [1]. Unfortunately, it looks like comparing benchmark scores between papers can be unreliable.

- _Algorithm A_ implemented by _Researcher A_ performs different to _Algorithm A_ implemented by _Researcher B_.

- _Algorithm A_ outperforms _Algorithm B_ in _Researcher A's_ study.

- _Algorithm B_ outperforms _Algorithm A_ in _Researcher B's_ study.

That's a simple case... and it can come down to many different factors which are often omitted in the publication. It can drive PhD students mad as they try to reproduce results and understand why theirs don't match!

What strikes me me as amazing is that straightforward answers are viewed as "omg". We live in a society where its viewed as shocking that people shared their thoughts.
The headline is incredibly misleading as it makes it sound as though it’s a broad UBI measure for all Californians, when in fact the article itself states it is limited to “cash payments to some pregnant women and young adults who recently left foster care”.

Well, it's chicken and egg if

game quality = g(sales)

That's why if I were valve I would set about throwing money at some medium-appropriate game dev up front in addition to discounting the hardware.

OTOH I just learned the switch's battery life was not as good as I thought; it's no M1 idling. So that helps.
> Also the fees page suggests that it costs at minimum, 550k, and if I'm reading it correctly, 1.5m.

Fwiw, those are HK$, so about $193k USD.
> Well one other way to frame it would be that 96% of the people who got cancer were not regular drinkers.

No, that's just bullshit. 4% of cases being attributed to alcohol does not mean that only 4% of cancer patients are drinkers.

You don't even understand how risk attribution works, but are happy to spin your own narrative.
Technology is often simultaneously an art, science, and business.

Now, I’d imagine for any creator the art and science portions are the more interesting bits.

But what you’re talking about is technology as a means to some financial end (which likely ends in technological abandonment via sale the the highest bidder).

I personally believe the product should come first. All of the greatest products come from passion about building something; and then it takes partnerships with folks who have the business vision—after all, the art and science of business folks is turning something into a financial success.

If you enjoy tech but feel burnt out, I’d recommend playing with some retro computing. I find going back to the DOS era there was tons of passion. There’s plenty of books on Archive.org. Even though it’s lower level development the beauty is it’s just you and the machine (more or less) and none of these Python vs Ruby vs Go vs Rust vs Java vs Scala vs yadda-yadda. :)

And most likely there is limited way to make money selling DOS warez these days so it CANNOT be about money, just pure enjoyment, for the greater good.
The french equivalent of IRS provides citizens with a pre-filled tax return form with information from employers, banks, etc...

You can fix it on the web, add stuff not known by IRS, simulate tax level, and then validate it on the web.

You can explain in text boxes if you have a doubt about something (which I did for the first time this year since I did contract some home exterior insulation work but it was done in more than one fiscal year and the subsidy rules for such work changed between the two years).

Yo it's the fun aspect of starting and running companies why people do it. No job can come anywhere close to the satisfaction of being an entrepreneur. Think of it as a serious game. Talking about money and changing the world, only a very few people have that idea on their minds. Think of people like Elon Musk who are mad about their mission and bring out a revolutionary shift in the way things work. In the end, it's all about money. The only things that people do for free are charity drives.
I've heard this opinion a lot, so I'm curious about it. What makes you prefer Rust to Go? (edit: It's not just about Rust vs Go but Rust vs everything else, mostly GC'd languages when you can afford the performance hit). My intuition would be the type system, as Rust is currently the most popular ML-derivative. The compiler and rust-analyzer are also very nice to use.
Same for me, not quite sure it helps me to focus as much as it simply relaxes me enough to allow me to focus better. I think it might have to do with (for me at least) the effects sort of tamping down the signals from my body and allowing me to be more brain-forward if that makes sense. Also helps me cut some of the distracting noise from anxiety.

While I enjoy a drink, booze gives me splitting headaches within 15-20 minutes of drinking anything more than a small (40-50ml) amount.
Not sure why the downvote, it was a common knowledge that Bush pronounced the country name incorrectly.

And we thought Bush was an idiot not knowing how to pronounce the country, when the official guide clearly says this is how you pronounce it!

Interesting to also see the use of "MOSLEMS" to refer to "Muslims", today this spelling is generally only used by far right American groups. Also interesting to see the use of "JAPS" to refer to the Japanese! This is extremely offensive to use today, and I was wondering if that was the case back then too.

You will never avoid #4 unfortunately. It's just part of the entire cancel culture culture now to ascribe institutional power to people and individuals, even those who get lipservice at best. See corporations on social media putting pride flag overlays on their logos while their CS reps argue with outraged reactionaries about how they don't actually mean anything by it in the one post where they talk about some abstract need for disversity.
Elixir seems to be very approachable. But some of the strengths of Clojure are unmatched, such as Java/JS interop, isomorphic code for web development, and generally being a Lisp (which includes macros).

Perhaps there's an interesting ML research project there. Get a voice actor to record a bunch of lines, with facial capture, and then see if the AI can produce the correct facial expressions for a line it hasn't heard before.

Then, take it a step further by trying to produce the voiced line from a sufficiently detailed narration and transcript. Obviously GPT-3 is close to being able to produce narrated stories, so that would give you a pipeline that turns a vague story idea into animated speaking faces.

Generating the movements of bodies and props might be harder, but I'm guessing that in some CGI movies for kids they don't have any human characters so they don't need to capture any actor's body movements or have any physical props or a stage at all.
I think they only care if it's the API for a popular app or the API owner has complained. I know they will flag for IG and Snapchat private APIs.
Making money is a good thing. Money can give you freedom and let you live the life you want to live. But to make the most money, you should focus not on the money itself, but rather on providing value. I highly recommend MJ DeMarco's book The Millionaire Fastlane for some insights on this.
1) A redemption story can still be excruciatingly uncomfortable and enough to make it impossible for an executive to do their jobs.

2) I suggest 'reading comprehension' may help us find that in many cases these stories are not as redemptive as the author may think.

If there story were two paragraphs, and he 'saw the light' by the end of Uni or something.

If you're going to do this kind of writing publicly as an executive, you literally need to have some kind of PR person help you do it, so that you can frame it in the right way. Most people don't have a very good instinct for how things will be received.

And unfortunately many people will misinterpret it, and so there's always a lot of risk in it, it's a hard story to tell. But it probably can be done carefully.
I've always loved that paper. Very readable, and gives good insights.
Up to you entirely, but for most of the things on Hacker News, the answer to any one question is not very interesting, but the process of answering that question is very interesting.

well, it sounds like "I used to hate X people, but after meeting some many wonderful X people I realized I was wrong".

This can be interpreted as "not all X people are bad" which is just another form of anti-X sentiment. And indicator of bad judgment in the first place, a disqualifier for someone whos job title is developer advocate. Replace Jews with black people in his speech and imagine the reactions.

I do appreciate his "coming out" as former antisemite though, it seems sincere and very rare in the current anti-Israel culture with the American liberals, where they legitimize people who literally want to throw Jews to the sea.

Edit: for those saying 'don't conflate Israel with Jews' , read about Hamas and Islamic Jihad, those 'freedom fighters' you defend and see how they envision solving the Jews problem.
“more eyes on the code”

ROTFL. This is called "Volkshochschule" in Germany. Hochschule can be translated to University. One guy from former Yugoslavia took an accounting course there, got a certificate and had this translated (to Serbian, Croatian or whatever). The translater did indeed translate Volkshochschule to Peoples University and the guy managed to secure a Professor position with it at a University. Of cause later this caused a scandal...
Beyond common ground and "we're all human" triteness, there are also deep cultural faults...

So much this.

I've used rPi 4 as a home server and it croaks under load. Burns through SD cards if you go that route. The USB, while better, similarly does not operate well under load and I've similarly killed USB controllers when I subject them to too many IOPS. This thing is a maintenance nightmare.

If you're just doing a one off server systems you can pick up older HP thin clients with better specs than a pi 4 and real IO for a similar price point.

T630s can be had for around $60 shipped off eBay with 4GB ram and 8-32GB M.2 SATA upgradable to 64GB RAM (spec sheet says 32GB but some have made 64 work) CPU supports ECC but I haven't tried that yet and as much storage as you want to stuff into the SATA slots (1 22x80 and 1 22x47). You're not going to be able to cram as many in a U1. But you will have an actually stable system. I'd put the CPU at the near equivalent of 2 pi 4s - better if you're doing lots of AES.
Is there an official name for this device other than "lift"? I'm looking around for prices but I can't seem to find anything here in Europe on eBay, geizhals.eu, or anywhere else for that matter.

It might be because education is free in my country, but I loved my Uni years and am glad I got 5 of them no matter the use for my career.
You meant STEM OPT? H1B masters pool only marginally improves H1B lottery chances, which are far too low today to begin with.
1. I think you are mixing smart with courageous, starting a business requires some courage.

2. Nope. At least those working for FANGs aren’t. You can see so many cases of folks were for low paying consultancies in India getting masters and then getting a job at FANG.

3. Getting an education loan for STEM is really easy and people are willing to put their parents house up for collateral.

I think with a FANG or good tech job you can be done with your loan in an year or two. Some people go to state schools and don’t get into any debt, or pay it off via internships. The US in most Indian people’s head comes with a better quality of life, a lot more money and better infrastructure. Perhaps some status too.

Yeah, it did; that was an error.
But “six figure” sounds so nice.

I still think it’s a useful dividing line, especially for this kind of article. The physical/virtual job world fits pretty well around $100k.

It seems like only about 1/3 of Americans make over $100k [0].

I don’t think $100k means you’re rich like when I first heard the term in the 80s, but it still means that you’re way better off than most Americans.

Something approaching this is certainly possible and is the status quo in other countries. I remember a Swedish colleague demonstrating their tax system by filling out his return on his mobile phone live in front of an audience about 5 or 6 years ago. It involved literally no typing - all the numbers were already there, he just had to check them and hit "accept" or challenge anything that was wrong. At the end it told him how much he still owed/was owed.

In the UK a very substantial portion of my tax return is trivial to fill out, and filing online doesn't require any kind of software - the uk hmrc website does all the calculations for you. I was absolutely flabberghasted when I had to complete a US tax return a few years back at how incredibly archaic and byzantine the process was. It could certainly be a lot simpler which would save time and money for both the citizens and the IRS themselves.

Well, even then framing a $50k degree as a workaround for US immigration woes, and not as an $50k worth of added value in terms of skills and education makes it sound like a racket, even if the numbers work out in the students' favour.
Neat! Pretty much every large company seems to have some variation of this.

I skimmed through your documentation, but it wasn't clear if this would handle workflows like the Chromium/AOSP workflows, where you have multiple repositories that are managed together via Google's repo [0] tool to give the illusion that it is a monorepo?

Occasionally you may have changes that span repositories and either need to be merged in a specific order, or in a single shot all-or-nothing merge "batch" [1]. This dependency information would be tracked either when the changes are originally submitted together to CI or directly in the commit message.

Of course, this means that you potentially have a small window where repo syncs may pull a partial set of changes, but usually this is solved via something similar to what Chromium calls "Sync to Green" [2].

I only recently completed an undergraduate sequence in quantum mechanics. I still have general relativity and quantum field theory left, which will take some more time to do properly.

Suffice it to say that there's a lot of work to do. But time is something that I have!

The people working at those tourist shops live locally and the tax money gets put into local schools. The profit back into the community.

Tourist do add a lot of culture. They are happy to be there and they add people on the street. They make socializing in local bars / restaurants more exciting.

I think their point is that installing cheaper solar power doesn't generate extra revenue, because existing solar generation already exceeds demand (driving prices negative). So they need batteries to shift generation, but solar plants alone can't cover those capital costs, because they aren't generating extra revenue.

They do acknowledge that investors see all this and new power storage is being built (I mean, it can be as cheap as a couple of dams and some turbines), but they cite studies saying going to all renewables requires excess capacity (65% in one of those papers) which makes it much more expensive in the end.

Though how much more expensive once some hydro storage is built, they don't say. Probably not at all once they can deploy cheaper solar. It's sort of like an engine or pump that needs to be primed, and the author is a little pessimistic on investors.
