Stop switching. Stay on Summer Time.

Why stay on summer time? Because this routes more available daylight to the evening, which most often (for the bulk of people) is used as personal time, family time, everything other than work and school.

We already give up so much to those institutions, I could not possibly support sacrificing another hour of daylight to them.
just wanted to say that I have seen this happen in my current company and so much so that certain portions of code basically look like boost headers. many folks dont want to touch that code so they end up duplicating functionality with slight change because that one minor change would take a life of itself.

in my previous company I have seen this happen (to a less extent) as a way of marking territory since such speghetti code sans detailed documentation basically means nobody else will touch it.
In the case of the UK's laws, they are targeting people with specific intent to cause psychological harm. That's a critical component of "trolling": if no harm was caused to the abused party, then the trolls wouldn't bother, because they're fixated on hurting others for personal pleasure. So, then, "barring intent" is an invalid condition for this discussion, right?
I'd prefer one that fixes the clock to sunrise and lets noon and sunset drift rather than fixing noon and letting sunrise and sunset drift.

I could also try and get my coworkers to move our meetings earlier in summer so I can leave work by 3, but for some reason changing a "clock" seems to be more effective than getting people to buy into summer hours and winter hours.

Matt Might was one of my favorite professors when I was in school. I hadn't learned about his son's passing until seeing this. Both Matt and his son are an inspiration to what can be done even in the face of the unknown.

I can't imagine the pain and anguish over the years that must have been felt as parents, so it was comforting to read about what kind of person Bertrand became.

I hope that if my son ever needs my skills, I would be up to the task so perfectly understated here: "Extending an artificial intelligence tool on the fly to analyze the data, Bertrand’s father found an unusual strain of pseudomonas as the likely culprit in Bertrand’s body."

Best of luck with the Bertrand Might Endowment for Hope!

- 7 years of professional development experience as a full stack developer.

- Most familiar (use most days): Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Vue, Linux, MacOS, Docker, AWS (EC2, RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, IAM), Git

- Familiar (Use most months): Python, ElasticSearch, CloudSearch, Tailwind

- Hobbies (Used on at least one completed project over the past five years): Go, Zig, C, C++, Rust, Phoenix, NoSQL, MongoDB, (probably more, but these were the ones that came to mind.)

My day job has me performing two main functions:

- Building full stack web development systems. I generally lean more towards writing backend code, and documenting our infrastructure. UI is my weakest area. This role has me working in datasets with ~1 billion row tables, and search indexes with ~100 million documents. Since we're a small company (~5 developers), I have been a major part of the architecture of our systems over the past 7 years. We've got five separate core businesses that our dev team supports, and I've been a part of architecting and implementing all of them. I would prefer to focus more on backend development in a future role.

- Creating one-off scripts or processes to assist in business functions. These tend to involve quickly reverse engineering undocumented web APIs we have permission to use, and querying them for our customers. At their simplest, these are a mix of writing some SQL and a few HTTP requests. At their most complicated, they have involved designing and implementing a tree structure to accurately model the business domain, and then pulling data about these structures from relevant public APIs.

Outside of work, I run https://www.thiswebsitewillselfdestruct.com, a website I built and maintain. It really will self-destruct, and it reaches ~100k users and handles ~13M requests each month. Building tools and infrastructure to manage its moderation and keep it a positive community has been a huge learning experience.
"To the relief of many Americans, the period of daylight saving time is finally coming to a close."

I am fairly skeptical of the assertion that most Americans favor Standard time over DST.

My skepticism extends to the 2019 poll[1] that asked Americans if they "Supported Ending Daylight Savings Time", a Q that bundles Standard Time with ending clock shifts.

The Q to ask is "For year round time, would you prefer Standard Time or DST?" This would better allow us to consider what people at different latitudes want.

This seems backwards. To evict someone you have to swear up and down that you're going to occupy the place yourself. People get prosecuted for e.g. doing an owner-move-in eviction and then selling to a developer. The old owner doesn't have a legal basis to get rid of the tenant, but the new owner does.
While his article uses the word "city", I think this is entirely misleading.

It would be more accurate to describe the unit of organization that it empowers as a "gang". ...an "organized semi-anonymous gang".

...and this is why it's very apt at developing organized crime.

Now, to a certain degree, a "gang" that is scalable enough, profitable enough, and efficient enough - could indeed carve out a geographical territory. ...and from there, it's not that different from a city-state or nation.

...but that level of scalability does not yet exist.

You could conceivably program into a massively scalable chain, things like a court system, a legislative system, a tax system, a land records system, etc... but we are very very far away from that.

It's like predicting cyborgs because I can strap my phone to my arm while running. None of that level of scalability nor integration exists or is even theoretically solved.

...but there is one thing I will say. Some generation in the future might look back at our problems with "democracy" and the issues we have with one-man-one-vote, and laugh because the notion of humans having equal votes is a long gone memory. The crypto-hierarchy won't care about anything other than your "stake".
Yes, someone really do needs to. I used computers daily for 10 years without learning to touch-type, reaching about 24wpm. Then I took a typing course, and in 9 weeks of 5 hours a week I got up to 40wpm, faster than the fastest hunt-and-peck typists. A couple of years later I was at 50wpm, and then I started using IRC and was up to 90 within a few months.

People can practice a skill for a long time, but if they don't focus on improving, they tend to just harden their existing habits.
I did it this morning and it wasn't a painful slog, because I don't have to start from scratch with just docker every time. I can reuse work done by others, and there are numerous tools that assist (OpenShift, selinux, seccomp for example). Your example of firecracker is the same thing. It is a tool wrapped around a lower-level implementation (KVM) that covers the primitives so they are easier/faster to use.

If your complaint is that container implementations leave the hardening scope to other tools, then sure, but I would argue that's just philosophy difference between the unix approach of do one thing and do it well, and chain tools together to solve problems, and the approach of one program to rule them all.

My working place is actually the gym room of my house. I simply have a standing desk for my laptop, and then I can lift some weights whenever I want to stop looking at code.

Make sure you get the main items: Olympic bar, squat rack, maybe a multi-gym machine thingy with ropes and weights, and hand weights of some sort. Also get one of those modern scales if weight is one of your goals, it will record your weight to 2 decimals on an app for you.

For motivation, I pay an online gym some money to do a training + diet + measurements program. I've done weights for a good long while now, so I don't need the detailed instructions so much, but they do also offer videos of every exercise, exact recipes for every meal (with my goals in mind), and instructions about how to measure yourself, all on web/mobile. It even lets you record what weights you're doing and has a convenient clock to measure your resting time. Coach then checks in now and again to see how I'm doing.

Ask HN: Tool / proj to auto blur faces in hi-res video?
Hey everyone!

I've been producing some content for a friend of mine that requires a number of people's faces to be blurred for compliance reasons. In short, *I'm looking for an open source tool that can automatically blur faces in 4k video in rendered output*, (everything is post production no live-streaming). Initially the duration, resolution and format of the video made it possible to do this with the "ai backed" tool in Adobe Premiere. However, now I'm working with 4k footage and the video has shifted to a format with a single face moving too far around the frame for Adobe's tool to be useable or has multiple faces.

I'm not a domain expert here, since the last time I did anything with ML was five years ago in college. Even if I could get the model together, writing a pipeline to actually blur 4k video is a mystery to me (although I'm open to suggestions as to how I could align these coordinates to apply blurring). Please note, I'm not looking for a tool to do this live, however I do need something that can handle 4k video. I also have access to an RTX 3090 and my render box with a few RTX a5000 gpus.

Basically, I'd pay for a service that does this - however I figured I'd post here on HN to find a project I could potentially support via open source! Any / all recommendations are appreciated!

Cheers!

Why would you return an empty box?

Legally Amazon had a contract to deliver you an item. They failed to do that, so you should have reported it as undelivered. When this has happens to me Amazon usually spend a few days “investigating” if the courier misplaced the item, then they admit it wasn’t delivered and send a replacement.

If you report it as “delivered but there’s something wrong with it” then that’s going to trigger them to request you return it, and if you return an empty box that’s going to lead to the “customer failed to return item” pathway.
> It’s strange to say “no upsides” when there are a couple of obvious upsides (mentioned by other comments)

None of the cited upsides require clock shifts. They aren't upsides of DST, but of being in the right timezone during winter, which DST does for parts of poorly drawn timezones in ways which are more simply addressed by drawing the timezones properly.

That no one is pointing out problems solved that don't trace back to “without DST, we are in the wrong time zone in winter” is a strong clue that the real problem is wrong timezone and that that problem is just more acutely felt in winter.

Hello, I am a junior full-stack web developer 6 months into a nightmarish job hunt. Looking for a long term entry level position so I can learn as much as possible.
I assume your logical probable natural explanation is that another male condor visited? This probably isn't as logical or probable as you think; they're critically endangered and all known examples would be DNA sequenced. Parthenogenesis is known to happen occasionally in birds, so it doesn't really seem all that out-there.

> impossible, ridiculous, unfounded explanation

... What makes you think it's any of these?

> can't possibly be wrong because..."muh politics"

I may just be out of date, but I hadn't realised that the reproductive habits of condors had been particularly politicised.
> But they're nearly (4/200) out of the parliament now.

According to Wikipedia, the Pirates and Mayors group got 15.6% of the vote at the last election last month and has 37 seats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Czech_legislative_electio...

Amazon support 10 years ago used to be amazing. They were truly a customer-first company. Today, Amazon support is probably worse than Comcast. They've been winning too long.

I have starting curtailing purchases from Amazon, and ordering from any alternatives whenever possible.
Is somebody who spends their money buying a bunch of lottery tickets an investor?

I don't think this can be called investing, and I don't think the folks who got taken for a ride here deserve to be called "investors".

I think (and hope) that Apple’s strategy is seemlessly integrating health as a feature in their current products, not in additional products. AirPods 9th gen, now with a built in hearing aids feature for $179. Apple Watch, now with FDA-approved blood glucose monitor for whatever that thing costs. VR headset with Siri and VoiceOver to describe everything in front of you and help the blind live better. And I’m creeped out by the trans humanist stuff, but Apple VR contact lenses that somehow connect to your brain and literally give you sight. Or at least Apple Contacts with built-in automatic eyesight correction if you’re myopic, that can be setup in minutes and doesn’t require a doctor’s visit. Better Siri and Shortcuts for seamless and productive voice interaction for blind people or those without arms. This stuff would be so cool.
