If you use the API, the service maintainer can transparently to you switch to a better storage format, or query engine, or invent a whole new CMS.

As a person who enjoys doing this kind of cleanups, it is disappointing. But when I think of the larger business perspective, these kinds of cleanups are difficult to justify, in that the value of them is hard to quantify.

Overall the net effect is a kind of death by a million cuts, but each of these cuts individually is a decent amount of work to clean up and fix that doesn't itself move any needles.

My latest perspective on this is that the only renewing force is the also the one found in nature, which is that you occasionally need to burn the whole forest down or have the organism die, so that you can start again afresh. In a business setting this means using a new stack in a new app.
1) Write it from the beginning in such a way that it can be removed easily. Ideally a single chunk of code, an entire file, etc.

2) Put a big comment on it that says "HACK: Remove when X is no longer the case"

3) Periodically check X when you think about it or come across that code

If X is "users' browsers have collectively reached a certain milestone", that should be easy to measure for via logs
I would recommend EasyTether on an Android phone. It bypasses hotspot specific data limits.

I use a Pi running Easytether connected to a 5G phone, with a travel wifi router connected to the Pi over ethernet. Runs my off-grid internet + security cameras.
the photos are only scanned just before being uploaded to iCloud. If you have CSAM on your phone, just turn off iCloud sync
I want to chime in with a bit less negativity. Universities can really be a bit behind on CS compared to industry, and it's really hard to teach a lot of the practical stuff. You can absolutely get a lot more out of industry experience than school in that field, and the author seems well posed to do that with their intrinsic motivation to do this stuff.

All the information is online these days. Universities are good at teaching things for two things: they guide you through the field in the right order and teach you what's important, and there's someone pushing you to do your work with deadlines and such. (Of course the value of universities is not just in the teaching/learning bit.) If you have the motivation for 2, and you have a good guide/job to do 1, then a unviersity might not offer you as much value.
Have to say this because I've seen this attitude become pathological: You don't have to be "killing it" all the time. There's no rush. Time isn't running out.

Finish school. Slow down. Think about what you want to do.
Creator here. It's exciting to see this back on the front page of HN! My poor little f1-micro instance is not holding up well against the traffic though I won't be able to migrate it to a bigger server today, but if you bookmark it and check back in a day or two, it'll be back up.

If you think this is cool, I'm working on a huge new thing with some former Firebasers and others. Follow me @_jwngr on Twitter (https://twitter.com/_jwngr) for a big reveal coming very soon!

What is really amazing about this (and about the whole English translation by Kandel, but the poetry is particularly amazing) is that to me, as a native English speaker, this seems like it was written originally in English--not written originally in Polish and then translated into English.
What bugs? Ff had an upgrade not long ago where they made it difficult to use extensions, and the UI has been made worse (or I'm just old and set in my ways), but bugs? It just works. If it is slow, I never noticed.
It's more like inflation of asset prices.
A personal improvement plan is not a fun thing to be on :(.

That said, I do wonder how much the perception of them is skewed by their lack of visibility -- of the cases where I have been aware of a PIP, the only one which was had any real visibility in the wider org was the one where the person ended up leaving the company.

It's entirely plausible that my employer is one of the better ones, though. And even then, I've seen (what appeared to me to be) abuses. One of the things that can come out of a manager putting someone on a PIP is that it's actually the manager who is in the wrong. It takes a good HR team to recognise that, though.

How do you even begin to quantify such a thing as intent? Not least when the best evidence for intent is a dodgy quote published years after the death of the man who might have disputed it?

>The law does. You paid for the device, or a car or a house you are renting.

You aren't renting a car. You are being provided a laptop, owned by someone else, and allowed to use it subject to the fact that you follow their terms and conditions, which happens to include monitoring. Please tell me specifically what law this violates, rather than hand-waving.

For the lazy:

> Each file is broken into chunks and encrypted by iCloud using AES128 and a key derived from each chunk’s contents, with the keys using SHA256. The keys and the file’s metadata are stored by Apple in the user’s iCloud account. The encrypted chunks of the file are stored, without any user-identifying information or the keys, using both Apple and third party storage services—such as Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform—but these partners don’t have the keys to decrypt the user’s data stored on their servers.

As far as I can tell, they don't say anything specific about where or how Apple stores the keys and metadata, so it should be assumed that Apple could decrypt your photos if they wanted to.
Mindset and breathing technique is certainly important in minimizing open circuit gas consumption, but it's not the only factor. Some people just have a naturally higher tolerance for CO2 loading (the instinct to breathe is driven more by increase in CO2 levels rather than lack of O2). Perfect buoyancy control helps a lot since you're not wasting energy on depth keeping. Equipment configuration should be streamlined to minimize drag. A high level of physical fitness also allows you to keep your breathing under control during periods of exertion, like finning against a current.

But I've also seen former military divers who had relatively high gas consumption. Some units mainly use closed circuit rebreathers or surface-supplied gas where breathing rate doesn't matter.

> Why would they do that, when they have so many other options? Because they like it

I don't think it's because of that. I think it's because they have internalized the concept of global competition being a zero-sum game and can't let go of it because 100B is still nothing compared to the total size of the pie.

Sinatra instead didn't internalize anything, did deals with Mafia families, acted recklessly and yet he managed to shut down Las Vegas lights in 1999 when he passed and will be remembered long after Buffett is forgotten.

Acting impulsively + luck beats rumination every day. It's not even a contest.
They don't even try to pretend otherwise.
A ban on marketing prescription-only drugs directly to the public existed in the US until recent decades. The amount spent on marketing skyrocketed when that ban was removed.
That's correct observation. I'm guessing it has to do with whether the words after Open are indicative enough to the model that they should be brought in together with Open. As I said in other comments, with more training data this issue will likely go away. And these tough comments are the best candidates.
Found it interesting that I couldn't find results for Knuth (The Art of Computer Programming) or SICP on here. Maybe the casual way we refer to these texts is hard to detect as a reference to a book, or their importance is just implied community knowledge?

Back then MIT had one but Harvard did not. I felt sorry for my friends who opted to go there.

Hence why jury nullification scares the ever loving crap out of the Justice system. Binding precedent is created by the Jury, which throws a wrench into the works that for some reason is seen less acceptable or "official" than a prosecutor exercising prosecutorial discretion.
Perfect, this gives bulls more hope while simultaneously extending an olive branch of doom to the permabears.

> "web of laws designed to incarcerate black people",

I disagree. There is indeed a web of laws and subsidies that makes black people to chose a career of crime.

It starts with public schooling system. Black ghettos have some of the countries worst schools. These schools fail all the black kids in their early formative years. This blame is not on racist white conservatives but teachers union funded political left.

Not only black kids fail to get a good education, their overall lack of abilities are glorified by political left in the name of multiculturism. Failure to speak good english, dress well, do basic math, reading and writing etc. is something portrayed as uniquely black things that somehow we should celebrate. A black kid who does well academically is called a coconut. The kid who is out of school can not find a job or unpaid work because of minimum wage laws enacted by political left.

If you are white kid and 17 years old it is much easier to find a job. You have a social connections, other white people trust you and other small business owners are mostly white. If you are black kid of a single mom living in a ghetto getting that first job is incredibly hard. How do you survive then ?

Your bad second hand car gets tickets which you can't pay. You get arrested for not paying them. Out of desperation you learn to peddle drugs and go to jail a few times. You record means you can never get even the lowest of low jobs at Costco or Walmart. The only choice you have now is to continue working in the underground economy which has worst of ethics and higher probability of getting jailed.

Warren Buffet use to say that the modern cash register made an entire generation of Americans more honest. He had a point. Larger dishonesty starts with smaller thefts. But reverse is also true, if you are never exposed to honest work, it is hard for you to stay out of jail in this country.

I do feel crime among black people is a systemic issue and not an issue of genetics and both political left and right are responsible for pushing them into this sad state.

PS: My arguments are mostly based on Thomas Sowell's work around race. He has put in lot of efforts to show that while culture matters, the culture itself is not determined by genetics. Culture evolves based on incentives.
If you could do voice chat, many would leave.

Just last month I switched over my copper land-line phone number that's been in the family at this address for over 50 years to voip.ms using an ATA. I'm pretty sure this is the longest it has ever been down in that entire 50 year period. On the flip side, I'm now paying $0.85/month compared to $45+/month with AT&T. (Oak Park, Illinois)
That... that is nightmare fuel right there.
Yes, we are talking about California not Texas, not unexpected.
I think it's been quite obvious there's some personality type filtering going on, as with most online communities. I'm quite curious how it'd be quantified. Surely software engineers, startup founder, ADHD, INTJ, and Meyers-Briggs-is-bogus types are overrepresented. Might tell us a bit more about ourselves...

What is the level of sentiment analysis in natural language processing? Would it be easy to add the feature, to recognize whether the book was mentioned in a positive or negative light?
You can if you're in a liquidity trap. Question is, are we in one now?
This is a great and admirable move, maybe later you will need to hire staff, but you will know the users concern etc and you can train the next people, this is extremely valuab.
Many companies go with live chat, horrible faq pages, email or phone support for the high value segment.
Anyone would like to have some algorithm do as much work as possible, which is fine, especially for giant companies. However, the ones with the run off the mill Salesforce back office but no phone support(too expensive)are commiting a grave mistake in my opinion.

Most companies SOP/procedures get very complicated, unmaintainable, lots of link rot and high turn over rates for support staff makes sure that support quality will take a large hit sooner than later.
Email cases often go between departments , always sitting in a waiting queue, and maybe the customer needs to reply as well, IE , resolution time is very long.
The customers think it's automated bot emails, at best compounded template emails.
It's not personal, people do not read or understand emails.

Often, a call can resolve a case or at least make ensure that the customers concern is well understood and the customer understood what it takes from his side.
And guess what, they will feel like privileged, speaking to a human, this builds trust.

And nobody is saying you need a massive inbound call center or a third party provider.

Just at least try some outbound calls for difficult cases at least.
And many times rightly so, living next door to a long construction project is a mistake I will only make once in my life. Utter insanity to be woken up by literal bombs going off in the bedrock.
I mean, so, just looking at one of the courses this person has singled out ....

https://writeofpassage.school/#pricing

I'm not sure what to think about dropping out of college to spend $4-$7k on a course about writing? That is definitely getting up to the level, at least, of what some college courses would cost.

As far as dropping out just generally goes ... what's the rush? Especially if you're close to being done in any case? People shouldn't write off the utility of the credential itself, regardless of their own personal feelings on the subject.
I take much less issue with that assertion. That high housing prices are because the dollar is worth less is what I find rather absurd. Inflation is measurable. And you have to embrace some real quacky conspiratorial thinking to go down the rabbit hole that dpweb seems to have gone down.
The old ujms have hipster cred and they aren't made anymore, so the price has gone up due to scarcity. Try a cbr 150 from like 2011. You can get those for like $1000 now.
Interesting lack of 1984, even though it is mentioned way too often. The lesser known "Animal Farm" and other dystopias like "Brave New World" and "Fahrenheit 451" are here.

Is it because it is a number?
Languages look similar, but Python value resides in the vast amount of libraries available to do data processing and ML. Most of them backed by C implementations under the hood.
If you want to see some amusing "recommendations" I'd check out The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and what comments it's drawn. I think the network trying to find recommendations needs to incorporate more sentiment analysis.

i.e "Guards Guards by Sir Terry Pratchett is a great book" vs. "I've never read anything as slow and uninteresting as The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkein" or "I thought Seveneves by Neal Stephenson was good - but it probably should've been two separate books with the second half actually having some meat to it."
All the resource questions essentially may make building the base cheaper by sourcing some materials locally and bootstrapping, but it does not answer the main question about the economic purpose of the base. What benefit exactly does having that base give back to whoever built it; who wants to pay for the existence of that base and why?

Insofar that the base provides materials and experience for building future bases, that just postpones answering the real question - what exactly is the expected benefit from those future bases?

Because the exact answer matters a lot for any discussions on where and how to do things.

If the eventual answer is "research and exploration", then suddenly it's very important to consider exact needs of the sponsors of that research which can't be done on earth - e.g. if it's zero-g research, then a moon base doesn't help that and you need orbit, no matter what the cost difference is.

If the eventual answer is "eternal glory to the sponsor", which arguably was the goal which funded a big part of the space race, certainly more than any pure scientific goals, then the appropriate metric is some sort of "PR per dollar" ratio, and there a Moon base probably wins over orbital bases simply because orbital bases have been built but a Moon base has not.

If the eventual answer is "make humanity interplanetary", then suddenly it's very important to consider what exactly the sponsors of that social project want (because in that scenario that's a subsidized colony that exists to fulfil the desires of some Earth people/organization spending resources to allow it to exist), but in any case it would look like that an orbital base likely does not fill that need and neither does Moon except as support for a potential Mars base, so again the cost difference doesn't matter because the other options simply don't fill the need.

If the eventual answer is "because it will be commercially self-sustaining" then that would need an explanation of what resources exactly would be cheaper to mine from there (at great cost and difficulty) for the purposes of Earth (because any non-Earth uses go right back to question of why would Earth fund those uses instead, they're just a discount on that purpose) as opposed from existing resources, or ocean floor, or Antarctica, etc because with current technology (hopefully changing due to Starship et al), if there were pallets of processed gold bars sitting on a prepared landing pad on the Moon, it would not be worth the cost to fly there to pick them up, much less ship mining equipment to do anything realistic.
In Europe a doctor cannot be sued out of their livelihood, but US doctors are open to that after spending most of their youth (and into their 30s) training for the job with miserable work conditions and pay, and at exorbitant personal financial costs. The cost of the ability to sue doctors trickles everywhere through the training process, insurance, daily documentation, increased testing, and decreased training spots. In surgery for example, every resident has to hunt for opportunities to practice each procedure and fill their portfolio of required skills over time. If they don't the opportunities to do that after going into practice are far more limited. Existing doctors also need to maintain skill levels, or lose them - so the flow of cases in each discipline determines how many good practicing doctors you can have in that discipline. If you dilute the talent pool with the same number of annual cases available, you get many many more bad doctors. A Whipple surgery, for example is one of the longest and most complicated procedures in Surgery. Per studies, you don't want to be operated on by a Surgeon who has less than 15 Whipples per year under their belt. The hard part is not increasing the slots, but increasing the quality of training and existing talent pool when you have more people competing to learn from fewer procedures.
Sounds more like personal development than fun?
I wonder.

For phones/tablets, Apple doesn't want anyone using the web for apps, insisting on app store (and fees) for all transactions.

If Google came along with a deal to switch to Chrome, would modern, post-Jobs Apple go along?

Unless something had changed, they already accept cash to funnel Safari users to Google by default. And Google apps somewhat compete with Apple products.

So... why not more cash, and make Chrome Safari's guts?
If there is no search result for the book name then it just means it's not in my current book database (which is limited).
That much I don't recall, maybe, not sure.
At first glance, the functionality here is much slimmer than OBS, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Recently at work I found myself having to create a guide showing many configuration steps on Windows. For this task, I installed OBS, set my screen up as the video input, and proceeded to record everything I needed to. Through this activity, I thought that OBS had way more functionality than I needed for such a simple task. I was also surprised that my employer didn't scrutinize me more for installing software that's capable of streaming desktop/webcam video and application/microphone audio from this corporate workstation to some random server on the internet. For my application, something like Wcap would have been a better fit.
Baltimore MD, nobody I know has a PCP who they can actually see when they are sick -- like you can't get an appointment within 2 months. PCP's give you useless annual wellness checks, if you're actually sick or have another medical problem, you have to go to an Urgent Care where you see someone who is probably comptent to decide if you should go to an ER in order not to die, and that's about it.
Different tools for different tasks, different strokes for different folks. E-readers are frankly awesome for documentation, I will never go back to paper for that. Your favourite novel? Give me a clothbound hardback. The news? E-ink.
sudo should not be required if the coredumped process was running as your user, but this will only be true if systemd was built with +ACL (look at `systemctl --version` output).
