> The users were pissed. They demanded the checkboxes be replaced with "Y" and "N" options to mimic what they were used to.

If you removed my keyboard workflow, I'd be pissed too. Muscle memory means you don't have to think about it; with the mouse, you always have to think about what you're doing, and can't think of other things (e.g. why you're doing it) while you're doing the rote bits.

Is there a particular reason you couldn't've supported the Y/N workflow? (i.e. “Y” is like “set, tab” and “N” is like “clear, tab”)
> I wonder if Facebook is legally still obliged to provide all its information to the user in the EU even after banning the user, and if they comply.

If they aren't, they should be. Facebook's contracts aren't above the law which says people have a right to their data. Does the law care that the user was banned? I don't think so. Nor should a banishment somehow invalidate someone's rights.
Wouldn’t using dead flesh increase the risk of infection?

In the article, it’s also mentioned that Hippocrates recommended using gold, and many of his teachings were still followed in Byzantine times.

So what’s your next theory? Gold sounds fairly plausible to me.
I hate to be the smug Amiga weenie but the Amiga was doing this in 1985... the idea that everything goes through the CPU is largely an accident of PC dominance and the dearth of beauty and elegance in system design resulting therefrom.

Not quite as a lot of African countries get their small startups wiped out by the likes of FAANG and their local economy sees nothing back from it as all the revenue made gets taxed in Ireland and or some other haven. The countries with a 0% tax rate are not that many as far as I am aware and neither is the corporate presence there, if any.
It is normal for your cells to manufacture bits of RNA into proteins. It's what they do all day. There is no hijacking. Cells do this constantly. And massively parallel. If each cell could only translate one rna sequence at a time you wouldn't have made it past zygote.

It's normal for Antigen Presenting Cells to present antigens on the surface of their cell membrane. It's what they do all day.

So, yes. Every bit of the process is completely natural and normal.
If Facebook makes a change to intentionally make accessibility harder, then you can sue Facebook under the ADA if you are an American.

There is a whole category of law where they just go around suing businesses for not being accessible enough. Quite a lot of money in it.
The requests are authorized, by authenticated users. Facebook could just deny the requests or rate limit. Or stop offering the unfollow feature (which they keep moving and hiding).
I also felt that it could be made clearer on the web page that it works on both node js and the web. Right now it could be interpreted as both or only node.
> taking note of a crisis is a first step to acting.

Yes, in the same way overcoming denial is the first step in personal recovery. The trouble is, like a depressed alcoholic who doesn't care that drink's ruining their life, it's not that those running the company are in denial about the way they're abusing their employees. It's that they know it and don't care.

What's the path from here to them caring, though? One thing that might help is if their clients stopped doing business with them, but do their clients care?
Ignoring the legal and accounting details, the basic idea is that macOS is something that Apple includes with each Mac computer that they sell.

If you don't own a Mac, you don't own macOS. If you own a Mac and some other computer(s), you own macOS for the Mac, but not for the computer(s). You might've purchased an upgrade to a newer version of macOS, but if you don't already own a Mac, you don't have something to upgrade, so the upgrade doesn't grant you ownership of macOS.

Now, from a legal point of view, it's a good deal different from (and more complicated than) that, but that's the basic idea. So don't make the mistake of thinking that because Apple gives macOS away for free to Mac owners, and don't use elaborate and onerous copy protection or license-tracking nonsense, that you're entitled to install it on something other than a Mac.

I use the Windows Insider program to run legitimate Windows, and used a bunch of debloat/decrapify programs from Github to try to remove the worst offenders.

I'd never heard of an "LTSC" Windows either. Interesting.

Thanks, that’s a great question! The eBPF part is quite similar. One difference is that we strongly believe the component needs to be open source for security reasons, since anything that uses eBPF essentially needs root. Aside from open sourcing it, we also took various other security precautions[1].

A few feature differences to prodfiler:

* Slice and dice queries by labels, not just process name or functions.

* Apart from merging and comparing profiles we also support querying by their total value as time series to identify cpu or memory spikes and investigate them.

* The storage supports any pprof formatted profile, so we support any type of profiling (like heap profiling) as long as it’s in the right format.

There's a long tradition on the web of bundling various implementations of an emerging feature under a library that can automatically pick the best one for the platform it's running on. Usually these act as temporary scaffolding until the browser-sanctioned API becomes ubiquitous, at which point they're phased out

Reading through my previous reply I think I came off as accusatory when I said “you”. I meant that as in a general royal you type sense, not you in particular. I do understand you are trying to describe their double standard.

I guess my point is that we don’t have to mangle the language and redefine words just because they have a double standard. They can call it blackmail and extortion all they want but it’s not something we should go along with
Well it’s not extremely obvious to me that VSCode is an electron app on my low-to-mid range laptop, but maybe I’m just an idiot.
I've been a ham for over fifty years. The problem with a lack of young hams starts at the local level. When I took my novice test at 14 the guy who was giving it became my lifelong friend or in ham speak my Elmer. I started a high school club (still going strong) and all its members were friends with this guy.

He strongly encouraged me to join the local club and I did. Not only did I meet other teenage hams but I made friends with older hams who taught me stuff and were happy to be supportive.

Contrast that with today, the club is still around but its moribund. I reached out when they were having problems keeping their repeater on the local university tower. I was told my help wasn't wanted.

I reached out again when the local marker space wanted to do a joint event. I'm a life member of the group but I was rebuffed. I can only imagine the 14 year old me taking one look at this cliquish group of older guys and being discouraged about the hobby.

I've run a programming group for twenty years. Sometimes the members get on me for having introductory type meetings. But I'm always reaching out to the greater community and trying to get new members. That's how you grow, if you don't do it you die. There's plenty in the ham radio hobby to attract young people, but if the local community turns them off they quickly chose to do something else.
> Just because a company offers a service doesn't give you the right to (ab)use it any way you want.

They're common enough for banks to universally support them. E.g. if you get compensation from some company (due to overpaid bill, legal settlement etc), it'll usually come as a check by default - and sometimes that's the only available option. I've also dealt with landlords and home repair providers that would only accept checks.
Totally! However, even with the proper fonts (that also have to be aspect ratio corrected, the usual VGA text mode did not have square pixels), I struggle to recreate this to the point that it's really recognizable.

CRTs with that text mode (and including scanlines, but not only that) just seem very hard to reproduce on modern displays.

The fact that your photo does evoke the same feeling while I'm seeing it on a modern 5k display shows that it's possible, but the amount of tricks needed might be so much that it becomes whimsical somehow (or at least in contrast to just changing the font)...
If corporates have freedoms like individuals, they must also be taxed like individuals on the total revenues. I don't get to deduct my day to day expenses before paying income tax, why should a corporation be able to deduct it's expenses for tax.

> First, the point of a study is to be generalizeable

That's why I specified myself. I completely understand the difference between generalizable results and individual results.

> many documented cases where self-assessment of one's own traits or capabilities is inaccurate

I completely understand that self-assessment is flawed, but there is also something to understanding oneself and trusting a self-assessment that is born out over decades of experience. I have never even come close to being as productive as I can be with the right musical piece and sharing this insight with others may prompt further research that sheds new nuance on the topic.
Not matching the anecdotes leads me to believe the analysis is probably lacking something.

“The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right.” -Jeff Bezos

Being data driven is not necessarily a bad thing, but the design of the study, the kinds of data collected, and all the other factors that go into how the data is measured need to be considered too.

This article about there being no “Californian Exodus” just doesn’t seem true, much in the same way I discount all those reports that say something along the line of “No, crime is actually down in the Bay Area”. Despite people living there saying it’s gotten way worse. The answer probably lies in changing what gets counted as “a crime”, coupled with police not responding to things they used to report, and citizens feeling like it is futile to call the police. But the data would paint the picture that crime is objectively down. But when you apply some other analysis you can see the conclusion is flawed.
SIMD-sparse matrix multiplication is possible but much more complicated. That's why BLAS libraries exist.

As long as you're willing to write the full scope of operations in a SIMD style, I'd bet that you could do it. But sparse is a lot more difficult to do than dense.

I know the basics of sparse matrix multiplication (there are many types: COO, CSR, LIL, etc. etc. Each representation would lead to a subtly different matrix multiplication algorithm). Load-balancing these operations across the GPU would be difficult, but it looks like major BLAS libraries have solved the problem already (ex: cuSPARSE, CUDA's sparse-matrix library for GPU compute)
This was posted multiple times on HN over the past 5 years.

And every time I see it, I cry that JavaScript doesn't have something like numpy.

numpy is just so damn logical and fast (and comprehensive!) that i don't consider myself a python programmer, i'm a numpy user.

I don't work for $bigcorp and 60% of the apps/things I need to log into to do my work (like my github) are on other profiles that I wind up adding to each profile. I mostly need multiple AWS/Google logins and things of that nature. It's not because I'm bored and want to complicate my life.

I work on various OSS projects for $smallcorp mostly.

Dtrace provided huge value for quite little implementation effort. It has taken a positively enormous amount of more grueling, detailed work to make eBPF much more capable. It might not have been done without dtrace demonstrating the value available, but I credit eBPF to the people who did that hard work.

And this is in no way transgressing their terms of service since it's doing the exact same thing any HTTP agent would do. They don't get to choose which agent I use.

If we're at the point of society of banning things and forcing injections I don't see why we can't just ban sugar.

The argument isn't unvaccinated people are spreading covid directly to vaccinated people, it's now that unvaccinated people are taking up ICU space and resources.

Under that logic we should start cracking down on other things that stress the healthcare system.

We should start looking at the other leading causes of hospitalizations.

That's heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Got any idea what those have in common?

Maybe if you're a PoS person, and your social score is low enough, you don't get care.

Likewise, maybe if you caused that car collision, you don't get care?

All because the ICU might hit capacity. Talk about fear mongering.

I agree. Culture is a large umbrella term. I am mainly talking about the unquestioned assumptions, values and expectations of people living in the sub-culture. Especially how the sub-culture, and especially parents, value (or not) education and intellectual pursuits. People of different races but sharing compatible sub-cultures have a lot more in common than people of the same race that don’t.
If their terms of service say “thou shalt not reverse-engineer”, and I want to connect my Facebook to my Friendica, UK law says that I'm allowed to do so, and Facebook is not allowed to have a problem with it – any clause in a contract that says otherwise is to simply be deleted.¹

¹: Technically, I think “ignored” is more accurate; if you're prohibited from reverse-engineering in general, the general prohibition would still apply even though it has a specific exemption. I'm not a lawyer, though.

One of the reasons for that is that Polio is still vaccinated against, very thoroughly. Because it's a terrible disease.

Seriously, check the vaccines that a standard UK person gets: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/nhs-vaccinations-...

All the "6-in-1", "4-in-1", "3-in-1" include anti-tetanus, diphtheria and Polio shots. A 15-year-old UK citizen has had Five doses against those diseases in this standard schedule.

But these diseases are not a problem any more, not widespread? Yeah, vaccination is the reason for that.

efficiency is a cost/utility ratio, which requires a definition of utility, and a measure of cost.

Ask HN: How not to burn out while working 9 to 5 job?
Hi HN, I graduated last year and has been working in the banking industry for a year. The pay is okay, but still in the bottom 40% income bracket in my country. The job itself is fairly technical, involving data management and data analysis. I find myself feeling lethargic and not having any energy after work. Although the job has a decent work life balance as my boss does not contact me after work hours, the stress and anxiety of the job remain. How do I sustain myself working in this job and avoid burning out? How do I maximize my learning and deliver good results while working here? Thank you.
Since everyone is posting their anecdata here's mine having to deal with chronic pain and the stress of lacking a diagnosis for its cause:

Video games distract me like a cat gets distracted by the laser pointer. And when it's time to go to bed and get a shut eye all my worries, anxieties about the pain and unemployment come flooding in and I haven't slept more than 5 hours for months. And when I was younger games helped me with the lack of friends and cope with stuff like my parents being divorce and getting bullied. My grades fell apart too.

So yeah, video games like all other reality escapes work, but if you ask me I'd rather get a diagnosis, a treatment and a job than shove my face in the next big game release again. I'd rather play video games the same way a casual/social drinker drinks alcohol, and not like someone doing it to avoid something that's painful.
Correct. It is in the interest of the company to sell you on all the perks and they should do that up front.

It is in your interest to view PTO as any other form of compensation and to make those compensation demands after you have demonstrated how valuable you are to the company via the interview process. You don't start negotiating salaries before the first interview, because that's a bad strategy.
Next they’ll be rounded up and put in ovens. All because of a strain of the common cold.
