I think the concern is the maintenance. Trees lose leaves in autumn increasing labor costs. They may also fall or have large branches break off in storms causing damage. I think its lazy and anti-environmental but less expenses ftw.

Apart from the standard rescue groups, there are dozens of different specialist groups which are distributed among the chapters in each region[1]: bridge building, electrical supply, lighting, communications, infrastructure, food and material logistics, search and rescue, oil control, debris clearing, demolition, drinking water supply, water rescue, pumps, water level monitoring, follow-up care and more!

Still working out how to get a user base. First step would be to use paid social(expensive) to drive awareness and see if I can build a waitlist. From there I can re-engage the same folks with other opportunities(referral, giveaway) in order to build a critical mass.

Facebook groups and meetups are quite huge and spammy. The Meetup app itself is old and tired and full of spam. It's hard to find quality. The hangouts on my app are limited to 10 people, which makes it easier to make friendships. They also require you to request to join which allows people to really screen for compatible people before committing to meet up in person.
the problem is that it is you who think they act like scumbags, and they themselves don't. by resorting to name calling, regardless of whether it is justified, you are closing the door to any sort of constructive resolution.

in https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/889#discuss... you were not asking a question, but you were making an accusation.

again, your concern may be legitimate, the tone in which you voiced it was not constructive.

blocking you may be an overreaction, but it is no worse of an overreaction than making accusations and name calling instead of asking an actual question.

i don't even know what you are asking there, and what kind of answer you expect from the developers. i mean you are asking if anyone agrees with your interpretation of the lead devs statement. how does that help move the conversation forward? how does it help to resolve the issue?

and what response do you expect from the lead dev on that? "yes"?

there is no answer that would be satisfactory.

if we want to resolve this we, as concerned users, need to voice our concerns in such a way that the developers actually have a chance to make the necessary corrections and regain our trust.
The idea was probably "built it and they will come" (the library authors who provide the easier to use wrapper libraries). The problem is that these libraries are hobbyist/volunteer work (with the notable exception of native WebGPU implementations), which on its own isn't a bad thing, but hobbyist can't afford a testing lab running hundreds of GPU/driver/OS combinations to make sure that their libraries are as robust as expected.

The companies who have these resources (for instance the GPU vendors), chickened out by designing Vulkan and thus offloading those QA tasks to the API users (simplified, but that's what it is in the end).

Which leaves Unity, Epic, and a handful AAA game developers as potential Vulkan users, which in turn are not enough to test Vulkan implementations, because just a handful API users isn't enough to cover all the dusty corners (same situation as back in the bad old days with MiniGL).
It also varies dramatically between US states. If you shot a burglar in your house with an AR-15 in Florida the local DA might give you a medal. In New Jersey they would arrest you just for having the AR-15, and then likely charge you with murder.

(I'm not commenting on the morality of either state's laws; just pointing out that US states differ widely on gun laws.)

[Edit: I originally said California instead of New Jersey. NJ's laws are stricter but it appears that the vast majority of states allow much leeway when in your own home, so I might even be wrong about NJ.

That the word challange is overly dramatic plus technically incorrect (adding a deduction that the government could not possibly know of is not a challenge). In actuality you just add any missing deductions, double check the numbers and then submit. His proposed system is just busy work.

That said I did not downvote.
Some of them can be, but not all. Some headers are needed before the content is loaded. With ubiquitous virtualisation these days, I don't see why hosting providers can't allow users more control over their server without compromising security.
>> Charging on the other hand has a huge compounding network effect. Your electric car is only as good as the density of its network, and right now Tesla has a huge lead. I'd wager that the supercharger standard isn't going anywhere.

Tesla may have the largest network, but since all the other networks are compatible it's actually harder to find a Tesla charger than a standard one. The adapter situation for charging a Telsa on a standard plug isn't all that great either, it's hit or miss.
Is it equivocation to call both a puddle and a downpour wet? No.

Same for clean here. These are not different definitions of the same word. They are different members of the same category.
> The obvious logical choice is for Tesla to start retrofitting Superchargers with CCS now that it's open and eventually ween Tesla owners into using adapters that Tesla already makes.

I disagree. I already use an adapter for L2 charging, on the rare occasion that I am at one place long enough for it to be worth it (work). I use the super chargers almost exclusively. I don’t want to use an adapter, that’s a poor experience. If others want to use the network, let them adapt.

What would it take to develop a piece of Open Source software that makes it easy for accountants/tax attorneys to build TurboTax form equivalents? Basically a CMS for tax forms to be translated into plain english, and then the inputs to be put back into the correct places on the forms.
Being a poor student in Brasil, I went through my first two years of college using a R$ 400,00 (around 80 dollars) Dell notebook. Several of my projects hosted on GitHub were written using this machine.

There's a super market chain here (Carrefour) that sells eletronics. They usually would hold a sales when something is wrong (a product is about to expire or an electronic presents mal functioning). My notebook in question fell into this category, it presents a small defect. The defect?! The Windows pre installed in the machine wouldn't activate online (some problem with the key).

So I got the notebook extra cheap, activated it by phone (since I could not activate it by software), saved the key, remove windows, installed linux (which doubled the speed of the machine, of course) and went my merry way into college.

I don't know the rest of the world, but a smartphone in Brazil can be compared in price to a notebook (a not very good one). The second advice from this story is Linux can give new life to old machines, try it.
I've hired junior developers, and senior PMs, but never senior developers, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt. I would definitely continue to include side projects on your CV, especially if:

1. they are technologies you are unfamiliar with. It's an easy and effective way to demonstrate that you are eager to learn new things.

2. they are emerging technologies (crypto, VR, AI, etc). In most organizations being a senior engineer who doesn't get "stuck" or complacent is a plus.

I'm not sure why employers would not be looking at those things, they definitely should be, it's a treasure trove of information as to who you are and how you think.
> Last I checked, doing cljs on Clojure Tools wasn't even possible.

I'm not sure what this is referring to here. The "Getting Started" guide for ClojureScript uses deps.edn and the clojure CLI to introduce ClojureScript. You can certainly use figwheel or shadow-cljs with clojure tools.deps and deps.edn. And since the new build.tools allows just running a program, you can of course build clojurescript from a `build.clj` build script. I cannot think of a step in this process that isn't amenable or simplified by the use of the clojure cli, tools.deps, and now build.tools.
> 1. ChessBase was in violation of the GPL, but then cured the violation by releasing code (https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2021/statement-on-fat-fritz-...). But the post claims they refused to release the weights.

They mean that the weights are not open sourced. If the weights are distributed separately and not considered part of the "Corresponding Source", that may not be a GPL violation, and the blog post does not imply that it is. (They only say that they condemn the approach.)

> 2. But the weights are already being released with the program they're selling. Otherwise, how would the program run? Why would they refuse, when they already distribute the weights with every copy of the program? I thought maybe Fat Fritz 2 was a cloud-hosted solution (weights aren't provided locally), but https://en.chessbase.com/post/running-leela-and-fat-fritz-on... seems to indicate it can run on a laptop with a GPU.

The GPL can be interpreted to require that all the input necessary to reproduce and run a functioning binary must be distributed. If the weights and engine are integrated in one binary, and not "all the source code needed to generate, install, and run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities" is provided, that could be a GPL violation. This does not apply if the weights are distributed separately under a different license.

> I'm on Stockfish's side here, because I suspect ChessBase simply duplicated StockFish's training methodology and tried to pass it off as their own. (The engine's performance seems almost identical.) But I hope Stockfish has an airtight case for court. It'd be a bad idea to hinge the GPL violation on "they refused to release the neural net weight training code."

They may have terminated the license in response to the Houdini revelations[1] which is another chess engine based on Stockfish that Chessbase has sold as original work, disguising its Stockfish origins in violation of the GPL.

As the GPLv3 says under Section 8 [2] the license can be reinstated if "this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder" - the first violation would have been Fat Fritz 2.

Happy to hear there apparently are people that can make sensible technical decisions in German government.

Realistically there weren't a lot of choices other than Matrix though, looking at what the law demands.
How could you possibly think that with amazing PR jibberish quotes like how they are going to "define the future of enterprise software, creating the digital HQ that enables every organization to deliver customer and employee success from anywhere." Or how they "have a once-in-a-generation opportunity" to "give every company in the world a single source of truth"? /s

These types of messages make me want to hurl at the self aggrandizing PR speak. I get positive self image and promotion, but good grief this is so over the top. I want a press release that says something closer to the truth, "we have no idea how to gain more users and the money from their wallets, so we're buying another company so we don't have to worry about developing anything on our own. This was the best idea we could come up with"

Not a single quote from anyone from Slack on how they felt it was a good idea and what made it so exciting for them to sell at this time to this buyer. I honestly feel like I need a shower after reading this nonsense.
I feel like that is about right, especially with the higher standard deduction.

I bought a house early last year for 250k. Including all the interest, fees, taxes, etc, plus all my family's medical expenses, and even things that I'm not sure I could include, I still couldn't reach the standard deduction. It really is a lot of money for most people.

BTW my favorite Matrix feature from the concept paper: "Integrität dank hohem Out-of-the-box-Sicherheitsniveau" - dank, hohem out-of-the-box Sicherheitsniveau sounds pretty great. (Wonder why they didn't say "aus der Box"?)
Tesla’s Destination Charging network of free L2 chargers also includes a standard J1772 plug at every location. I don’t own a Tesla but do have a leaf, and I’ve used Tesla’s destination charger more than any other away from my home, combined. Other chargers are often broken or annoying to use. Now, I’m trying to buy a Tesla to replace my Volt for my growing family. The goodwill from that free destination charger acts as cheap advertising.

So I suspect it will be for Superchargers. Every EV owner who uses Tesla’s network will be tempted for an even better experience by just buying a Tesla.

This is actually quite similar to Singapore. Except here Conscripts make the majority with full time firefighters closely behind. There are a few volunteer firefighters, but they are a few. I myself was a conscript, it was a very valuable experience. I guess one thing holding back people from volunteering is the work culture here. Also in general firefighters aren't as well respected (which is kind of really sad).

> Perhaps having separate AWS accounts ...

You absolutely must, MUST, MUST be using separate AWS accounts for separate purposes. You can have as many as you’d like and roll up the billing into one actual paying account.

This is a win for accountability (roll up dev and easily see the split out for separate environments), but more importantly for security as it limits the blast radius for any one environment. Combined with per-account budget alerts it’s a win across the board.
The FBAR issue means you have to report if at any time you had more than $10k, a number that hasn't changed since the 80s I think, as if you are a criminal for keeping a reasonable amount of money in savings for a place you reside. I know Democrats Abroad has been trying to push to remove the FBAR requirement at least to some extent for banks in the same country you filed your taxes from in. It's not a tax haven if you spend all of your time living there.

Not only this but it's difficult to open accounts abroad as an American because foreign banks really don't want to deal with filing all of this paperwork for the IRS.

VA chief halts rollout of digital health system for veterans
I miss my old used bookstores. I had one I went to since I was twelve. The owner's husband was moving to the U.A.E. and she sold it, without telling anyone, apparently, but me. I bought the last book she sold.

The new owners tried to make it into a Christian thing but didn't understand the nuances of the used book industry the way she did, and so it folded after some time.

Meanwhile, I have thousands of used books and I have no idea what to do with them. Old programming books -- what to do with those? Are they worth anything to anyone now? Fiction I can understand, but these seemed to have aged out. I think I have books on Java old enough to drive.

Ask HN: What application file format to use for a desktop app?
I'm working on a desktop app and I'm trying to figure out the application file format.

I think that ideally, the application file format would internally be a directory but I want the directory to be hidden from the user.

Ideally there would be something like cross platform macOS bundles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_(macOS))

Sketch does this by zipping up the directory but I would like to avoid zipping things.

I don't want to use sqlite.
No. If it did it would make more sense to just buy the hardware like you said. I was only referring to your last point on network bandwidth.
> The problem with the far left is that they demand everyone have the right to do whatever they want whenever they want, free from judgment, prejudice, responsibility, repercussions, and accountability.

No, they don't.

I mean, if you stop before “free from” that’s almost a good, though somewhat exaggerated, description of extreme libertarianism (whether left, right, or center) but even far left libertarians don’t believe in that being free from judgement, responsibiliry, repercussions, or accountability (but would probably agree with free from prejudice.)

And the non-libertarian far left doesn't even approximately match the description even before the “free from” part.

Philadelphia has banned cashless stores: https://www.inquirer.com/business/cashless-ban-philadelphia-...

I've noticed some out of towners come in and get surprised at how many businesses are cash only, from humble produce stands to fine dining establishments. With that in mind, there is at least some inertia that people know to expect when they need cash (or at least when to tap MAC).

Not everyone can get a bank account or credit card. So, it's important that stuff like grocery stores, clothing retail, etc. accept cash. This is orthogonal to whether or not we really need pennies though :)
If it smells like a checking account then it’s going to be treated as a checking account.
I’d say that asking if they have anything to show off and not discounting them if they don’t is in bounds. Like extra credit that no one has to do and people can get the job without.

That's not true. The process for the large scale changes at Google is described in the "Sofware Engineering at Google" book[0]. Chapter 22 is all about it. There is tooling, yes, but the goal is exactly the opposite of trying to make a single commit across the whole codebase:

> At Google, we’ve long ago abandoned the idea of making sweeping changes across our codebase in these types of large atomic changes.

My first reaction was "Get this person a Raspberry Pi stat!", but that might not help them much if they don't have access to a monitor. What I imagine would work better for them is a small light laptop with a couple USB ports for good compatibility with inexpensive peripherals, a long-lasting replaceable battery of an affordable and common type, and no requirement that the computer be connected to the internet to be useful (f*ck off and die, Chromebook).

I've had Asus and Lenovo laptops that fit this bill pretty well, and the Lenovo was even close to being cheap enough to be practical (~$150) (the Asus was more like $250, but it was also a 1080p 14" with a 9+-hour battery). Of the stuff I can easily find available online right now, a Kano would fit the bill pretty well (you can find them on sale for also ~$150), as would the low end Lenovo IdeaPads. I like those a bit better than the Kano as they have a sturdier build and include a webcam

First off, it's a joke explanation and not meant to be taken seriously anyways.

But more notably, like Fermat's theorem, we can probably conclude that there's no easy quadratic or cubic algorithm for SAT that we've somehow missed. If P = NP, then, the most likely algorithm we'd see would be some hideous combinatorial algorithm that has a constant factor of 3^2^2^4 lurking in it that is completely impractical.
