Great to hear! Checkout page request: please make it so you can buy a different keyboard than your shipping address/locale, in case that's not already on your roadmap.

Apple/Lenovo let you spec an “English International” (ISO) keyboard even if you're shipping to Germany/Austria, for example, so that you're not forced to buy QWERTZ.
This is very inspiring work - thanks for sharing!
It's an arm's race. A lucky coin flip evolved a longer neck, they survived better and bred more, but then trees evolved to be taller because of the proliferation of longer necks, then a luck coin flip evolved an even longer neck, etc.

Long necks aren't the only possible adaptations to get to taller trees though. For instance, tree climbing is another.
I have absolutely no idea, but I guess the bus to the processor and other periphery could indeed be a weak point because of EM-interference. We have absolutely crazy data rates here and therefore very high frequency signals so proximity between components might indeed matter.

That said, manufacturers have huge ambition to not allow for modular design.
How do you manage your dbt schemas and tests?
We’re working on automation around how we manage dbt schemas and tests – particularly maintaining dbt models (schemas and tests) for our ever-changing raw analytics events, which are typically updated with every feature release. Our trigger for kicking this off was that we just finished an internal hackathon where we ended up building a dbt utility that we’re excited to take further and open source.

Right now we’re particularly focusing on metrics that we compute by tying together those ever-changing raw analytics events (e.g. "Account Created", "App Opened", "Code Generated") with data from our backend and 3rd party tools like Stripe.

We want to make sure to build something that makes sense for a wider and doesn’t reinvent the wheel – so we’d love taking into account some HN perspectives.

If you’re up for contributing to our research (and maybe even building with us), we’d appreciate your answers to this quick 4-9 min survey. It’s a mix of situational questions (your data stack) and open questions on how you manage the steps from when a success metric has been defined (pre feature release) until the insights are visualized.
In these cases did you write it from scratch or were you able to copy paste a working solution?

Because most pragmatic to me would be to google for a solution on Stack overflow, see what is upvoted and seems reasonably vetted, then potentially go over the code yourself to see if there's any issues and maybe write few tests to be extra sure.

Maybe your use case is too niche though to be able to copy paste though, I'm not sure.
This is a neat trick, but I'm more interested in the little remark about how Svelte uses the $: label

https://svelte.dev/docs#3_$_marks_a_statement_as_reactive

Is Svelte doing something clever with these labels at runtime, or is it just using the label to do some kind of transformation when the javascript is compiled, anyone know?
If you are watching them then it works.

This thread seams to be missing the point... With cheaper rice and potatoes, more people in the world can avoid going hungry. The net result is a less impoverished global society.
For me tiktok is so depressing. I am single 25+ guy and seeing all those beautiful girls my age or younger makes me so sad. Than I can go to Tinder and match with pretty but not stunning girls and feel like I am getting robbed. And according to my friends I am easily in top 20% of attractiveness. Feel bad for rest of guys

I guess this is life in 21 century. Governed by algorithms and feeling empty inside
ReactOS isn't a Linux distro, but a brave attempt to reimplement the full Windows ABI. When complete it will support both binaries and drivers designed for Windows.
> The point about the information being publicly available on the internet is that it's public information.

Modulo local government laws.

I am not disagreeing with your larger opinion but we have to be careful about “it’s on the internet hence anyone can access it” line of argument.

For instance Pornhub is blocked in India. So if someone were to access it from within India through VPN or whatnot then they are breaking a law and have to face the consequences.
> The current cost for 60 satellites on falcon 9 is around 10M$ if I remember correctly.

Apparently Musk is claiming 15M$. The public numbers for a launch are 3.3 times that, so even if that is pure profit, it's awfully good profit compared to what Starlink is bringing in.

> From next year they will likely be able to send 400 satellites for the same price with starship and the aspirational goal is to have a cost of 2M$ per launch.

This is based on Musk time - the likelihood of that happening in this time-line is not particularly good, given the track record of his promises. Time will tell.

The claimed 2M$ price is laughably 'aspirational'. Until I see it, I don't believe a word of it.

> It’s perfectly feasible, you just can’t understand how starship is such a game changer.

Let's wait for it to actually fly to space and back until we declare it such a game changer, ok? Musk's promises have a habit of never happening, or happening much later than claimed.

> representation theory (abstract linear algebra)

To me, representation theory means a lot more than abstract linear algebra. Of course, one can define terms however one wishes, including in such a way that these two become synonymous—and, also of course, maybe you were intentionally using the terms informally to give an idea of your meaning without going into too much technicality—but, to me, abstract linear algebra is the study (for each field $k$) of the category whose objects are $k$-vector spaces and whose morphisms are $k$-linear maps, whereas representation theory is the study of the category whose objects are triples $(G, X, \alpha)$ of a group $G$, a space $X$, and an action $\alpha$ of $G$ on $X$ (let's stipulate—though not everyone restricts representation theory to this setting!—that $X$ is a $k$-vector space, and $\alpha$ is a linear action), with morphisms being intertwiners in an obvious sense.

That is, in some sense, I view representation theory as somehow 'reifying' the morphisms of abstract linear algebra to become objects (a perspective which could, and sometimes does, lead one down the path of $n$-categories).

AFAIK, the corona vaccines:

- are not FDA-approved

- have not had side-effects reported

- OSHA stopped reporting side-effects

- have not had clinical trials for children.

So what's misinformation, and what's not?
That's a separate thing that seems more widely supported. The article seems to be talking about dropping on the program's taskbar button itself: "In Windows 10, you can open a file by dragging it onto an app on the taskbar."

As far as I can tell, no programs support that. Every one I've tried pins the document instead, so I'm wondering if they're mistaken. It does work on KDE.
Typed in 101, it didn't work.

EDIT: Per the Android Police article, looks like there is a way to update now without powerwashing. Disregard the below paragraph.

If they stored any data locally it's lost unless Google releases a way to allow a computer in this state to repair itself. Fortunately for many users the ChromeOS convention is to keep important things stored on the cloud. But that's not much comfort to those who chose to have experienced data loss due to this.

The description of 'bricking' in this case is unwarranted. Their device is fine following a 'powerwash', essentially a factory reset.
I found your point to be incomprehensible.
Written in javascript
I believe it's parsing the JavaScript and doing a transformation. That's kind of svelte's USP: better ergonomics because it goes beyonds what's possible in standard JS.
It's lucrative to let clients architect apps
I am going to ask a noob question: if this change is beneficial to plants, why has it not occurred already by natural mutation?

Evolution can be blind "hill-climbing", so if it's a step towards "local maximum", why has it not already been taken? Is it not a "local" step (i.e. hard to occur naturally) or not "towards maximum" (i.e. good for the farmer but not for the plant)

On the contrary, coin flips are probabilistically independent from each other, while evolutionary events certainly are not, however small the causal influence between them may be. Thus, while an infinite number of coin flips does not guarantee a single heads, an infinite number of evolutionary events must eventually result in any given adaptation. Lim P(p) = 1.0 as p -> inf.
This hasn't born out in practice. Dictators want to live - that's why they're dictators. They ubiquitously loot their countries widely enough to be able to retire to safer waters but don't.

Nuclear weapons in the modern world are useful deterrants, and that's it: a dictator with nuclear weapons has no external enemies they could consider targeting without guaranteeing total annihilation in response.

The one exception here is that using a nuclear weapon on your own country and people might be a useful exercise of power...but even then, it's abundantly clear that the most likely outcome is still total annihilation - the world won't tolerate a nation lighting off nukes against targets in it's own borders much either.

People are stuck in their ecosystem. The monetary coat of changing platform is quite high if you’re already invested in that ecosystem.

Everyone is paying a lot of money for a system they basically own nothing about.
You keep paying, for apps, for hardware, that’s forever tied up to the whims of that platform’s owner (not you).

Not in favour of more laws, but forcing the hands of these platforms so they provide more control to their customers is not a bad thing.

At the moment none of them have any incentive to do it.
Forests are another (competition for sunlight).
LPDDR is low power because it is a more sophisticated device with more complex protocol compared to regular DDR, because it has a higher pinout allowing it to have a more efficient electrical connection and because the computer manufacturer can optimize the connection with specific chips in mind instead of having to support a wide range of devices.

I think the number of pins is a practical limitation. Current DDR DIMMs use 260-280 pins if I remember correctly, while an average LPDDR4X BGA package is 400 balls or higher. Apple uses chips with 877 balls. It is definitely possible to design modular RAM with high-pinout, but would it be economically feasible?
I’m not sure I fully agree.

There are plenty of good positions (at least in Europe) where they ask for an engineer who can work with tool/Lang x, and won’t ask you to invert a binary tree, but will ask you about what kind of projects you’ve worked on.

I thought that was what you meant by #2, until you mentioned that it required “really prolific” engagement with open source.
I agree data is hard.

If we could provide a properly designed database which has already defined datatypes but that would be as easy to fill for a standard user as a preformated Excel table that would be great. You're right, Access has this simplicity, I just wish such tools would be available out-of-the-box for other DB engine.
As a technical writer, that also applies to how you write and structure information. I spend a lot of time refining the documentation I write, because I've been the victim of poor documentation.

This goes hand in hand with a good design, good typography and quality code. The result is a website that answers your questions and makes you feel more confident about your goals.
I've been doing it when I wanted open one program many times and prevent it from stacking so I can switch between instances faster.
Mmmm, could i reimplement this in a raspberry pi and continuously let it run offline in my parents garden?

If so, any thoughts on how hard it would be? Since I don't use ml a lot and only experimented with recommendation engines with ml.net

( A lot of trees and a lot of birds at my parents place)

Mostly because my dad would love this and it could be a fun project to get a better understanding of ML.

The follow up is basically “oops I shouldn’t have been caught thinking that out loud”

I mean he’s calling Vista a “phenomenal product”, for Fourier’s sake
I disagree. Vista did have some problems, but this was because it introduced SuperCache (which worked in a way that did not match everyone's expectations), a new strategy for file copies (that didn't work better in a lot of cases), a new display server, and new driver models for networking, sound, and video in user space. Vista is when we stopped having to reboot for changing the video driver, where a sound driver crashing no longer bluescreened the system, and we got per-application volume controls at the OS level. Additionally, since it was new it was bloated and slow on current gen hardware and manufacturers often slapped "Vista Capable" stickers on computers that were really not ideal for it.

As with most Windows versions, it was pretty solid by Service Pack 1. By 7 pretty much everything had been ironed out and consequently we remember 7 as the highest water mark since the peak, Win2k.
It’s lucrative to give the customer what they want, even if it isn’t what they need.
I think Rainbows End is excellent. However, I was disappointed with The Children of the Sky.
Thanks for posting this! 7+ Taskbar Tweaker is such a fine and useful piece of software that it's on top of my list of things to install on a fresh Windows (alongside Total Commander, FastStone Image Viewer, Keypirinha, f.lux, Everything...)

Maybe more control isn’t a good thing? But even so aren’t there phones in the market they cater to those who want more control.

Magpies become extra territorial during breeding season and swoop, defending their patch. They also recognise and remember individual humans, too. For some reason the ones up our street took a dislike to my son and will swoop at him every season, but never bother the other three of us.

During the protracted Melbourne lock-downs last year, when you did go for a drive down to the shops for your groceries and such, you could see huge groups of cockies and galahs hanging around. Not as much fun as the small English town that got invaded by goats, but I did wonder once or twice if I was in an Alfred Hitchcock film.
The mockingbirds and catbirds I’ve heard are easy to identify, not from a particular sound but from how they string sounds together. It seems to me they copy notes, but not songs.
> she still has the PM's favour

Which, as you know, is not the only kind of favour that exists, especially in a political context.

> and she hasn't been discredited - she still has her credentials

Again, you're taking a very limited and specific meaning of the word to bolster your position - you can easily be discredited with the wider audience and still be in your position (cf Boris Johnson for a prime example.)

> you could find someone who doesn't like any politician, but we don't call them discredited because some angry person doesn't like them any more

No, we would not. But if many angry persons disliked them because they continually displayed verifiable traits like lying, cheating, corruption, etc., we could perfectly well call them "discredited" or "disgraced", yes.
> How ridiculous is that!

Not as ridiculous as being well aware of the limitations of iPhones wrt to installing applications outside of App Store and still buying one. People should vote with their wallets. Me personally I do not mind the limitations, but if you do - don't buy it.

Angular 11 PDF Tutorial: Here’s How to Convert PDF to Image (JPEG/PNG)
Let’s have a look at how to convert PDF to image in Angular 11: Convert PDF to PNG or JPG with Crop, Zoom in and out, Rotate, and Reset Features.
Normal teletext you select a page (typically a 3 digit number from 100 to 999, although hexadecimal pages also existed)

Your decoder would then look at the vertical blanking lines with the data on, and wait for the page to match the one you selected. This could be fast (typically pages like 100 would be broadcast every second or so), or slow (page 693 might be sent once every 15 seconds)

The decoder would then show it. The decoder would only need a 1 page memory.

"Read only" teletext didn't include a decoder at all, it was the output of a decoder at the TV station which was sent via normal UHF means, typically with background music.

As memory got cheaper, "Fast Text" was introduced, each page would have shortcuts to 4 more pages (red, green, yellow, blue). These would then be stored in the background when they were broadcast, so the decoder needed 5 pages of memory, but the experience of the user was much better as there was less waiting for the next page they'd usually want. This also allowed "hidden" pages like "35F" to be used.

Towards the end of analog programming, teletext brought in on a PC capture card was stored and decoded by your media player. Computers obviously had enough memory to store every page so response was instant.
SailfishOS/Jolla is a great option.

The problem is, that some important (e.g. banking) apps are missing and cannot be installed/run with the Android emulator. Another problem is, that Sailfish is available only in very few countries, e.g. not in the US.
Predictive text/autocorrect still sucks.

Now the infection rates grow again because the current vaccination rate and vaccine themselves are not enough to protect.
