This article is not very convincing.

My greatest argument for privacy is that being observed "freezes" your behaviour. You know that you are being judged, and that this has consequences, but the rules of the game are opaque to you. You can't tell which actions and labels your behaviour triggers. This will push you to err on the side of cautiousness, and to suppress any quirk that could draw attention.

For example, if your browsing history is made public, you might worry about what a person would conclude from it. Perhaps you like German military history a little too much, so you'll watch fewer videos about that. Perhaps you are a bit too keen to defend socialism, so you will moderate your speech. Let's not get started about the porn you watch.

Not only that, but the judgement is now done by a machine that sees, remembers and cross-references everything. The machine has authority, but no credible oversight. Its thinking process is opaque, and possibly inspired by the biases of its predecessors, from which it learned. If it considers you guilty, its owners also will. It will be your job to prove your innocence.

What is collected about you is remembered forever. It's not on an index card in a box deep in some archive. It's in a well-indexed, instantly accessible database record. It can be machine-processed, machine-scored and machine-judged in seconds, without leaving a trace. It can be duplicated and shared with third parties, also in seconds. There is no telling where that information will end, and how it will be used.

If it's not used now, it could be later, by a different group. It could be used against the person you are not anymore. If you think cancel culture is bad, imagine it being applied to the things you don't say.
Shame it has no AMD configs, and also that I can't buy it without Windows.
It's not selfish to decline a medical procedure one thinks is unlikely to benefit oneself. Furthermore, it's malpractice for a doctor to advise a patient to undergo a medical procedure that is not more likely than not to benefit that specific patient. Your attitude is what's dangerous.
Thanks Krishna!

We are not a MoR, and aren't planning on becoming one either. There's already fairly decent MoR solutions out there which take payments on the seller's behalf and distribute funds after a given timeframe (usually 1-2 weeks).

You could indeed spin up something that somewhat does the job with Stripe and some coding, but not everyone can code, and doing so also requires you to worry about hosting, domains/DNS, file distribution, security, fraud, and so on.

What we offer is a simple, straightforward way for someone to spin up a store in minutes, sell a digital good, and have the funds in their account right when the sale is completed. I think that's a bigger value-add than being yet another MoR

I was only in the industry for 6 months, but this was the best part by a mile. No one gave a shit as long as you weren't blocking them on some task. I genuinely never felt so alive and intimidated. Watching what some people could do under the influence was just staggering to me at the time.

I really want to get back into gamedev. Maybe 2024/5 I can seriously consider it again.
The noughties dream of 'digital natives' has not ever come to fruition. Children growing up around technology has not brought great understanding of computing/creating software, instead it has driven a race to the bottom for passive apps, with predatory attention grabbing mechanics.
And how fast do you think the first steam engine went? I think we are all familiar with emerging technology that improves over time.
Rather than making conclusions based on their level, see the arguments they have in their article and if it's doubtful they didn't come up with those thoughts on their own, but simply copy pasted, then ask them to elaborate on some things and it will be clear.
I agree, but I'd argue it's even more interesting why we even bother with this question in case of China and Russia, but never with USA, which was built in equally immoral way, by killing off the natives, stealing their land, and then kidnapping slaves to work it.
Which is not disproven by pointing out flaws in others.

Since when is that problematic? Should we lock up CIA agents for 20 years too? I thought USA was the land of the free.

Not only in python, but in most scripting languages. It’s hard to find one that doesn’t. But it’s neither official, nor ternary syntax anywhere.

true and false or true
true ? false : true

These are not equivalent. If the second argument is evaluated as false, the “ternary” breaks.

Lua suggests to use this as ternary, but it has only two false values (nil, false), which reduces the number of problematic cases a little.
But the US methodology of deciding whether you have COVID is much more strict if you've been vaccinated - this just fudges the numbers to make it look like vaccines work much better than they really do.
I am not sure if it fits this topic/forum, but there is a joke made by Jobs on youtube [1] about Longhorn/Vista.

No, in Russia pro-vaccine propaganda is very high, everyone, absolutely everyone, even Navalny's officers are doing it. For the last half a year around 10 minutes in every evening news programme on major channels is about Sputnik V, shaming not vaccinated and so on. There are wonderful documentaries made by RT about hospitals, talking to lead doctors. There are vaccination centers in malls.

Russia's low rate of vaccination comes from three things:

1) Lack of incentive. Life was going as usual throughout Winter and Spring - everything was open, no one was enforcing masks. Moscow had the requirement to be vaccinated in order to enter restaurants for a few weeks in June-July, that forced people to go get vaccines.

2) Not many people were dying before Delta, so everyone thought it was fading away. And combined with the iron curtain situation between vaccines (Sputnik V not approved in EU and P/M/J&J/AZ not approved in Russia), people thought there was going to be some development, maybe new vaccines, and that it's worth waiting a bit.

3) Many people didn't trust some dying corrupt company to be able to make millions of doses out of nowhere and for it to be effective. It was just too suspicious to be true. But eventually Sputnik proved to work, so this went away.
'It's well known that people vaccinated with leaky vaccines are the breeding ground for super-bugs, especially between they get their 1st and 2nd dose.'

It's well known immunocompromised people are breeding grounds. One way to avoid that is vaccinating them early.

'it will not generate multi-epitope antibodies any longer as it'll think "it got this handled" due to previous (incomplete) antibodies.'

The immune system knows to benchmark existing antidotes. If the spike antibody isn't enough it will stop producing it.
This describes parts of San Francisco. SV is much bigger than that. Once you get out of San Francisco with few exceptions it's safe and full of nice people.

Yes, there are no taxis. Uber/lyft is the way to get around. Public transport is fine if you live in certain places (caltrain and bart stops).
Re 2. Which programs? Not even polio vaccinations worked to eradicate the virus completely, and these came the closest.

Much less BCG or variola (pox).

Viruses like flu and coronaviruses, nigh impossible to eradicate.

1 and 3, sure. And mRNA vaccine is not particularly more dangerous than any other type. The cost-benefit is strongly on the side of vaccination there.
MicroLEDs Moving from Lab to Fab
You better get used to it. RAM is going to move closer and closer to the CPU for speed and power reduction. And every major laptop manufacturer will move that way to compete. Especially now that the M1 Mac has shown what’s possible when every part of the system is optimized for low power.

What we can hope for is that SSD acts more like RAM. Maybe it could have a decent sized RAM chip that the OS can dedicate as cache for virtual memory. There’s a chance that at least some hardware manufacturers will continue to allow for replaceable SSDs.
Does this also apply to junior roles? I would expect a portfolio of small games or some tech demos is the best you could expect there.

Doesn't seem like a good comparison, because seat belts have been tested for decades and don't seem to be insidiously harmful, whereas VAERS already has an off-the-charts number of reports of deaths and harm. Not a day goes by where I don't hear about somebody dying shortly after getting the vaccine, often in novel ways like described here:

When reading his reply[0] it's obvious he was right in the original email when he said he saw no solution to this problem. They even tried to start from scratch and the result was still arguably the worst Windows edition ever.

I can remember putting the URL of the Matrix movie website, in some plain Java code that dealt with well, matrices.

What I did not know is my code was more or less secretly reviewed by a senior engineer, who was a bit surprised, but learnt something he told me.

This is how the secret review became public. My red pill, indeed!

edit: typo
>Isn't it more significant not where they emerge (which is by random mutation) but where they do well?

Random mutation happens more when we give it more chances, by letting it infect more unprotected people. We'd rather avoid that, so it's also important.

>Is it even particularly easy to say where a variant originated?

No, but we have gene sampling to help.

>Could the mutations happen multiple times independently?

They can and sometimes do happen independently.
>unless you think things like "There's no bad music, only bad musicians" as well.

I actually do though, and I say that as a musician myself. These things are inherently subjective, writing good music isn't just a matter of how closely the musician adheres to a pre-determined set of rules. The qualities of goodness and badness exist in the minds of the creators and the audience rather than being attached to the music itself in some sense. Any attempt to classify "good" versus "bad" music in the sense people usually understand it is just an appeal to authority fallacy, the only thing that makes music good is "do I personally enjoy listening to it or not?". You can try to classify music based on how closely it fits a genre's set of rules but this quickly breaks down into absurdity in practice (for example, acts like the Grateful Dead which span many genres).
Another thing that trips me up regularly is BOM bytes at the start of text files, it can be really hard to debug if you don't know about them.
In which case would you actually implement a binary search instead of using an existing library method for that?
LPDDR does many, many things to reduce power consumption (the current version even does DVFS, which I think is a first for main memory; graphics cards have been doing interface DFS for a long time, but a high end graphics card will burn around 30-70 W in the memory chips, and uses extremely high speed PHYs running at around 20 GBit/s per pin in the current generation).

The only thing that really changes between DIMM and soldered on is a somewhat increased trace length. That accounts only for a very small increase in power.
"Please do not use the App" is forbidding use of the app.

That's not really something you can ignore, unless someone else manages it for you. (And then, of course, you need to take cost into account.)

Really, the model is completely ignoring the cost (time or money) of operating the storage layer.

It's an interesting idea, but without taking the full picture into account, I don't think it's very useful.
I'm talking about what he said, not holistically.
UB is not an event that happens. UB is a rule that allows compilers to assume that situations defined as UB never happen.

It's UB to access an optional that has no value, so if the compiler sees optional accessed unconditionally, it may assume the optional must have had a value, and delete all code that contradicts this conclusion.

Compilers don't do this out of spite. It's an optimization that removes redundant checks (e.g. when code in an inline function checks args != null, but you use the function with obviously non-null args).
Does he only read things written originally in English?
I’m curious about these responses. They kind of read like “Yes, but we don’t want to commit to anything right now.”
Show HN: Tablevibe (YC S21) – Restaurant surveys which drive direct sales
Hey HN! We’re Guido, Jeroen and Mathieu, the founders of Tablevibe.co!

Tablevibe enables restaurants to capture customer feedback and incentivise direct reorders via QR codes on food boxes and bill folders.

Restaurants and Cloud Kitchens increasingly rely on delivery and booking apps which demand a revenue share of up to 40%. It’s uber expensive (pun intended). Many of these apps don’t share customer data. This results in two fundamental problems. First, restaurateurs often don’t know who their customers are and what they experience. Second, profits are decimated.

About 1.5 years ago we spotted paper feedback forms in our neighbourhood restaurants. Almost no one used them. If customers did, restaurant staff spent ~10 mins entering feedback into a spreadsheet. Meanwhile, people shared negative feedback directly online. Restaurateurs said it was painful. We set out on a mission to fix this.

We got 3 restaurant owners to pilot our MVP. They added a QR code to their bill folders, which directed to a Google Form survey. We used Google Data Studio to share customer feedback with the owners. To boost response rates, we offered customers a $5 discount on their next visit. Restaurateurs loved it. They got a 20% response rate, actionable performance insights and way more repeat business.

This laid the foundation for Tablevibe.co. Over time, we added two unique features: First, we encourage positive customers to share their 5-star rating on Google. With anger being a more powerful emotion than love, this brings back some balance to online reviews.

Second, restaurants became far more delivery-dependent, so we added delivery surveys (QR code printed on food boxes) with an incentive to reorder directly from the restaurant. This save up to 40% in commission fees for restaurants and cloud kitchens.

To date, we captured over 120,000 customer insights and drove thousands of Google reviews + direct orders for our partners. Our vision is to develop the #1 customer relationship management platform for restaurants. Stay tuned!

We're a young business and we'd love to learn from you. Thanks in advance for your ideas, suggestions and feedback!

Best,

Jeroen, Guido and Mathieu
And if you do install macOS on a VM, it won't run with hardware-accelerated graphics. Even if the host is also macOS. And Apple just likes to pretend that older OS versions cease to exist the moment they release a new one.

Regarding Mojave... Yeah I still use that daily. Catalina is a mess, and Big Sur can't be (officially) installed on my mac. I could've tried to have a go at backporting the OP app, but Swift is too annoying of a language and I don't know much of it.
Automated reformats cause big problems in version control.

Every line appears to come from the reformat commit. So it's hard to see when the codes function was changed.

Even if you assign a low probability to an Armageddon, why you assume that a more "tactic" explosion will come from a small state instead of the states that have the vast majority of weapons in the planet?
Of course you are correct, it is better than no sandbox, I'm just saying that compared to even the now affected Android, ios OSs GNU/Linux is seriously lacking in terms of security.
Yeah, getting a company to schedule a full onsite interview panel is a big time investment, and lame if there's zero chance of it going anywhere. If some random person emails me asking for advice on how to practice relevant skills or prepare for an interview, though, I'll schedule a video chat right away and talk for hours if they want. I'll also hop on a call a few days after rejecting someone and give them detailed feedback if they want.
Sadly databases are hard because data is hard. I've seen people trying to stuff one-to-many relationships in a single Excel tab duplicating the one side as many times as needed, e.g.

Author_A Book_1
Author_A Book_2
Author_A Book_3
Author_B Book_4
Author_B Book_5

Another strategy I've seen is to stuff the many-side into a single cell, splitted with some less used symbol like |, ; or : . I'm curious to find what would they do when they meet a many-to-many relationship.

Horrors surfaced when we analyzed the data: unintended duplications because ids and uniqueness checking was not a thing, shifted columns, undocumented column "formats"... In the end we parsed the whole mess into a DB.

I don't see how you could implement a frontend for a database simpler than Access. It was as easy as Excel, with relationships. But reasoning a schema is harder than stuffing all things in a 2D table, and querying a multitable is harder than filtering a few columns.
The URL triggers an “advanced search” (“Code” only, instead of “All GitHub”). For that, they want your login.
Great initiative, but who decided to put the user-hostile return/backslash keys together? Key gaps exist for a reason, and it's especially important on certain keys.
What I can remember from the 90s in Sweden the most common archive formats for spanning multiple 3 1/2 inch floppies was ARJ or RAR. ZIP existed but was uncommon in comparison.

I think it wasn’t so much about the qualities about the zip format itself rather that WinZip software wasn’t as good compared to WinRAR. ARJ was command line, at least that is how I used it, it was well documented and easy to use.

It may have been that the zip format was more common in the DOS 5 1/4 inch floppy days because zip (1989) existed prior to both both ARJ (1992) and RAR (1993)

Was he still subjected to same interview process where he has to prove his coding skills inspite of being prominent open-source contributor

Google don't want people who are generally great developers though. They want people with specific skills who can solve the complex compsci problems they think they have. Consequently they hire people who can invert binary trees rather than people who can just write good or popular open source code.

Google's failure to capture the public imagination is why so many Google products get killed off, so I reckon they're solving the wrong problems. If Google engineers were less inclined to think 'this is a hard problem that only very clever people can solve' and more 'this is a simple problem that needs a better solution' they'd launch more things people actually want to use.

This actually means Google would be far better off hiring the popular open source dev instead of (or as well as) the PhD in Binary Tree Gravity dev.

If you do not have the relevant tooling you can still read the canonical formatting.

If you want custom formatting, I don't think that expecting your editor to reformat on the fly is a big ask. At the end of the day that exactly what tab proponents expect.
