> pkgconf already sucks on Linux when your packages are configurable, and sucks even more on Windows

Yes, but to be fair most things suck on Windows because that userbase only recently decided that portability is a good thing.

As we move forward and Microsoft products stop being the odd one out, the suckage will get lower.

> lidar is not only costly, it's bulky and ugly.

This is quite subjective. My opinion is not very representative, but I for one find teslas horrifically bulky and ugly (and most other cars, in fact). They all look like gigantic broken eggshells. On the other hand, a lidar rig looks very cool.
this would disincentivize going public even more. There should be (reasonable) limits to regulatory burdens.
Is Sarah's Blessing Cannabidiol Legit?
The above data comes from the Sarah's Blessing CBD Product Label. We realize that this equation contains zero THC. So it will not get you high (grieved in case that is the thing that you're searching for). In any case, CBD is expected to work by furnishing you with the advantages of cannabis that DON'T modify your comprehension to such an extent. All things considered, a few group do appreciate CBD as intellectual enhancer by giving both quiet and core interest. The center might come from and out of the quiet that a few group get from utilizing CBD. Who knows the specific relationship. Researchers keep on considering CBD to sort out the entirety of this.

To assume CP is reviewed manually is simply wrong. You don't want to put such weight on an individual. You want to automate it as much as possible, with as little false positives (and false negatives) as possible.

For example, in case of a wallpaper, let's say its the Windows XP wallpaper. There's no human skin color in it at all, so you can easily be reasonably sure it isn't CP. You would not need an advanced ML for such.

And they can have multiple checksums, just like a tarball or package or whatever can have an CRC32, MD5, and SHA512. Just because one of these matches, doesn't mean the other don't. Only problem is keeping these DBs of hashes secret. But that could very well be a reason the scanning isn't done locally.

I never enjoyed reading anything on Twitter.
The users were working claims in the insurance industry. They used a lot of really specific, custom built software that all were integrated with each other as well as to ip-telephony system, mainframes and office suites (MS and Domino).

These integrations was built at HQ, ”works on my laptop style”, but at a branch office 1000km away… no fun at all!

An unholy mess that would take many years and a couple of $100.000.000 to untangle.

I had weekly “continual improvement meetings” with the power/super users, one or two from each branch office. The whole team spent a lot of time at the local branch offices dog fooding the service and talking to the users.

I used the service as my only workplace for three years in a development & ops role.

The success factor here was that we built a solution for a specific set of users that we continuously improved. I’m talking “make something slightly better today than it was yesterday - every day” type of mindset.

We started out with a PoC by brokering sessions to physical machines located in the datacenters. First users was the assigned "super-users". They were assigned due to being the most demanding and loud user base.

After a few week they _demanded_ that every user should get the same setup - we interpreted this as a successful PoC and went on to explore options.

At this time neither Citrix or vmware had a concept called VDI and we started out using pre-release code from vmware.

First prod version was using vmware but we only gained performance, which ofc was a win, but we still needed to manage all the vm's through standard automations (os patches, asset and inventory, application repackaging and roll-outs)

When Citrix bought ardence to get PvS it was a no-brainer - ICA protocol, PvS and app-v streaming was a great combo to rapidly deliver a high performing workplace.
BUT - you need automations and reliable network links, both of which we could provide.

We had dedicated hypervisor hosts with the fastest local storage available. You should NEVER user SAN/NAS or other centralized storage systems for these workloads IMO.

Also, monitor the performance closely! Caching all application to host local SSD really took care of a lot of the potential perf issues we saw early on.

Depending on user role they could get dedicated hardware as well, but this was only for a select few users.

It was set up as a specific service delivery and my team was dedicated to improving and supporting the users.

One of the most rewarding projects I've been involved in, mainly due to the really close collaboration with end-users.
I envy your life of pristine CSVs and compatible implementations, where JSON doesn't solve any problems. But CSVs have a broad range of uses, and there are, in fact, plenty of implementations that do not follow RFC 4180, and even if everything did there would still be issues like the header row being optional (without an in-band way of telling). JSON is, in practice, much more well-defined.

On text vs numbers, at least some widely-used software (e.g. R, Excel) will try to guess for you. It should be obvious how this might cause problems. Maybe one should turn auto-conversion off (or not use things that don't let you turn it off) and specify which columns are numbers. Some datasets have a lot of columns, so this can be a PITA, even if you do know which ones should be numbers. But the bigger problem is if you have to deal with other people, or the files that they've touched. There are always going to be people that edit data in excel, don't use the right options when they import, etc.
A blog has actually a lower barrier because it doesn't require a Twitter account. It can potentially also load much faster and has actual text formatting.
Sure, but would you actually create a new blog just to tell a story? I would feel pretentious, like my story is so good that I need to create a new blog for it. No, I would just use what's available to me.
Maybe consider that CP is just the excuse for the backdoor.

So apart from every Apple user being treated like a proven-until-innocent owner of CP, at all times, this will (yes, a matter of time) be used for political purposes, to find and silence activists, journalists, to discredit opposition leaders, to prosecute Uyugur/Muslims/women/palestinians etc.

Do we really believe that CP owners store their collections in iCloud / google cloud / Dropbox and view them on their phones? And that this is an issue on a massive scale?

Please.

These are the most expensive phones on the market, with an incredible profit margin for Apple. The part of these devices that we actually own is a shrinking territory.

Why not have the mics on all the time in case “someone says something related to a CP ring?”
The test as I created it (that site uses a copy of the questions, those were written by Brandon Downey) asked 30 question evenly spread pitting e.g. Explorer against Socializer, so you ended up with a score that said e.g. you prefer Explorer 100% against any other.

Back when the test was relevant (around 2000?) there was lots of multiplayer games (MUDs) and so you could enter what MUDs you were playing after you got your score -- it was interesting to see the averages for each aspect matching up with type of MUD (e.g. PVE versus PVP versus purely social/RP).

I also tried to match the results against a volunteered MBTI: http://mud-dev.zer7.com/2001/8/20412/#post20412

There is a point still, because a star is massively more efficient at fusion by way of "production at scale" effects.

The additional benefit is the amount of power. With the power of a star at your disposal, beaming your energy using lasers and microwaves, even if only 1% efficient, would instantly solve the energy needs of any planet in a solar system. If we did it, we could instantly colonize all planets in our solar system because things like "running an AC on Mercury" or "Hovercraft in Jupiter Atmosphere" becomes trivial when you have limitless power.

Heck, you could start projects like moving planets in orbits or collecting astroids to built a planet if you wanted.

Black holes are the stage after that since you can use a spinning black hole to convert a given mass into energy at >10% efficiency (given E=MC^2). That would allow a civilization to power multiple solar systems at the cost of a few planets per year.

Granted, the sphere is difficult to build, but that is what you have dyson swarms for.

Show HN: JSONified DB backed by a filesystem and Git
While I agree on you on compile times getting slower with nlohmann/json, I think that its performances are fairly adequate. I've been using it on the ESP32 in single core mode and it's still fast enough for everything. Unless you parse tens of millions of JSON objects per second, you won't really notice any difference between the various JSON libraries.

Ironically, cJSON is _worse_ in my use case due to it not supporting allocators at all, as you wrote. Nlohmann fully supports C++ allocators, so it's trivial to allocate on SPIRAM instead of the limited DRAM of the ESP32. Support for allocators is why I often tend to pick C++ for projects with heterogeneous kinds of memory.

Also, Nlohmann/JSON supports strong typed serialization and deserialization, which in my experience vastly reduces the amount of errors people tend to make when reading/writing data to JSON. I've found simpler to rewrite some critical code that was parsing very complex data using cJSON to Nlohmann/JSON than fixing up all the tiny errors the previous developer made while reading "raw" JSON, parsing numbers as enums, strings as other kinds of enums, and so on.

My arguments seemed obvious. Yet the all the top comments are "OMG, apple is looking at my photos".

I'm not an Apple fanboy. They are doing some horrible stuff, especially for developers. For example: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/iphone-keyboard-...

But I think this is honestly a good thing Apple are doing with respect to CSAM. And before we get on the "slippery slope" band-wagon, read about what kind of pictures are on that database, and then get back to me.

> I always wondered if this was a good ratio. I get that green usually has the strongest signal and thus better low-light performance.

More importantly, green is close to what your eyes perceive as luminance. This is important because you can perceive a lot more luma detail than chroma detail. This is why things like 4:2:2 sampling work.

If you read Bayer's original patent, he proposed using Y Cr Cb (luminance, colour part red, colour part blue) instead of GBR filters[0]. This would people optimal from a computer science perspective. Sadly it doesn't work physically. Sensing negative-blue and negative-red can't really be done with a simple filter.

But almost all of them are incredibly arrogant and most have an incredible tendency to take decisions based on what's important for their CV and there career and their podcast and their YouTube channel than for what the company or the problem at hands needs. I'm not sure I'm taking again a job for a west coast based company.

Thank you for writing this out. It is correct & much better than the reply I was giving to him.

As for the difference being subtle, I do not so much agree - but

>accurately representing other people's arguments is a key point of intellectually honest debate and assuming the best intentions.

Is most definitely key. It's too bad that people rarely care about this in any level of discussion or debate anymore. It may very well be one of the most major factors to collapse of modern civilization in the coming decades.

For what it's worth - my opinion of Shapiro is that he is simply an opportunistic grifter, as are the vast majority of current U.S. "conservative think tanks/talking points creators/right wing/far-right wing" social media commentators. This is the reason they are all also trying to sell you one or more of their books that is most definitely not ghost written because these people are also so obviously such talented writers (hahaha I know /s on HN is frowned upon but I must have slight fun)

Miller, on the other hand, is a fascist, and he's honestly never tried to hide it/is quite proud of it. Which, I guess you may be able to say, is at least somewhat commendable. Though, he too does engage in some opportunistic grifting, as do many on all vectors of politics.
It looks like it's already reality... you just have to print and assemble yourself.
We heard this shortly after the US took over so many years ago. The idea was floated that the country could be transformed through the development of its natural resources but 19+ years later very little came of it. I hope they can develop them in the future since there won't have to deal with a war. Good luck to them...

What? I simply do not understand how you came to this conclusion based on what was written, in the slightest.

Unless English is not your first language, I'm genuinely worried for your comprehension and logical deduction skills.

The parent to my post has quite clearly insinuated that "Ben Shapiro cannot be on the right wing of the US political spectrum because of the fact he is Jewish"

I am giving an example of somebody, who is Jewish, and not just that they're Jewish, (i.e., not a first generational convert) but from a long line of all proudly Jewish ancestors, which moreso drives home the fact of the matter, that just because he is Jewish, does not mean that he cannot be on the right wing or "far right wing" of the political spectrum - something that he has legally & personally identified himself as for effectively his entire life. Furthermore, he's identified himself as a white supremacist since quite a young age, something many may seem as quite unusual given the circumstances of the Holocaust, and has went on to spend his political career pushing a fascist agenda, by any normal meaning of the word.

I'm now quite tired, and that's not as well articulated as I'd like it to be - but I hope you can see the point to be that "just because you're Jewish does not mean you cannot be on the far-right," as we have very clear examples of this within the highest levels of our politics, with those being referred to proudly and consistently proclaiming their positions on the matter. I, personally however, think that you're just trying to troll on the internet and I'm wasting my time in attempting to engage with you in good faith.
As far as I know there is no credit card required.
Isn’t that a bit extreme? Meat is contains saturated fat, cholesterol, and is carcinogenic in many forms so you may be harming your health long term. Plant based foods also contain nutrients you cannot obtain from meat alone. You are also missing fiber which used to manage blood sugar, cholesterol, and improves colon health. Then there is ethical and environmental issue. The latest IPPC report should give you pause.
Raw vegan is problematic since cooking food releases nutrients. Many raw vegans refuse to supplement as well, which is unsustainable.
A perfect mirror is a materials challenge and potentially a fundamental physics challenge. In comparison we already know roughly how to do the math to figure out how far the surface of your sphere would need to be from the center of a sun or black hole in order to harvest energy (via whatever method) without collapsing, based on the strength of the materials at our disposal. Of course the materials we have might not be strong enough, but it's possible to push the sphere out until we can build it without it collapsing (and then the issue is collecting enough raw material). And given that solar panels work fine on earth, a dyson sphere can only improve solar panel efficiency even if its surface has to be very very far away due to materials challenges.

In comparison, if you can't get your mirror close enough to perfect, the whole idea doesn't work - the laser will be absorbed or diffused too much by the mirror, or the mirror will be damaged from the energy, etc.
That Apple employee (assuming the role doesn't get contracted out) has no incentive to protect you or me. But they'll absolutely err on the side of caution to protect their own livelihood.
I strongly believe one can't understand this method and the sheer amount of effort necessary to consistently tend to this system and keep it alive (like Luhmann) did without the deep explanations and also at least diving into the examples of Luhmann's zettelkasten as it is digitalized.

Nonetheless - I also do not believe, that a lot of people would benefit from the zettelkasten system. It has in my opinion a very narrow target group that would massively benefit from this method, while for others it would only be a lot of work with limited benefit.

Luhmann profited from his lifelong work on the Zettelkasten (he was an avid reader and did extracts long before his university career). But once he started his university career he was able to produce on such a deep level and with such a high frequency, because he had up front invested massive amounts of time into this system.

So if one is looking for a productivity tool, I am not sure that zettelkasten is the right tool in one's belt. It needs massive investment up front and pays interest only later.

Because such architectural flaws become absolute train wrecks when scaled. Remember the Clipper Chip? This is like that: cryptographers pointing out fundamental flaws that may seem like minor issues to most of the users who were going to be compelled to use it - but at scale those flaws result in the direct opposite of the stated objectives.

It feels weird having to explain scalability on HN... everyone here should know that if your little scheme is struggling pre-rollout then trying to power through will only magnify your troubles. So it is hard to account for that blind spot that defenders of this thing seem to have.
