VS's windowing system is better than Rider's. I often use VS with a layout which takes up two full screens (editor on one and Tests Explorer/Solution Explorer/Output Window/Find window etc on the other). I haven't yet found a way to replicate this in Rider.
Current Python doesn't reflect this philosophy though. You have lots of options for strings and string formatting. There is pattern matching and if statements. The standard library often isn't the best option for stuff (like HTTP requests) so you use another library. Package management and deployment is far from solved, with lots of different tools.

Not sure I follow. Someone questions a technical process because it might add extra information seems like a fairly cogent thought and awareness of tech. Even if it's not described or discussed in technical terms.
This is accurate. My deadline to go to office is coming soon too . Shifting to a new city is going to be tough.
This seems like a separate issue - this thread is about the accusation (and insta-rebuttal) that this was all about money-related damages.

If you think the justice system's statement that no evidence was provided is false, then it would be good to know why. Probably in another thread so as to not undermine your point.
Housing may be a basic need, but ample housing with a convenient commute is not. Proponents of change need to do a better job of filtering out their obvious sympathies towards wealth redistribution, and stating the problem more acutely. I'm not here to give every dishwasher and barista a 10-minute walking commute and a living room with a view of the city center.
It's even more worse in the mobile world. I would share a lot of pictures after two weeks holiday with somebody who has an Iphone. I have an Android phone. There is not way to transfer pictures direct from Android to Iphone (holiday location != flat rate). WTF 2021.
So many landlords have taken old homes and converted them into single apartments, raising the cost without creating any value. I would say destroying something of intangible value as well. That trend has definitely driven the cost of housing up.
AirPods auto-switching is absolutely awful. Try downloading IntervalTimer on your iPhone. Start a timer. Listen to music from your Mac. The Interval app on your phone will make beeps when intervals end; when that happens, your iPhone will pause your Mac's audio and switch to the iPhone. It's borderline unusable.
> feel like people attack apple whatever they do.

I agree. When you have as much economic power as Apple does every move has some side effect. In this case they are actually doing something nefarious and the side effect is simply shifting app company profits to Apple.
It depends on what you're doing; Visual Studio with ReSharper is still very good (as long as you have a beast of a machine).

Hello HN,

My name is Dan and I'm a Software Engineer in Boulder, CO. Bustl is an app I've been building in my spare time since the first of this year. As someone that uses an old-fashioned whiteboard on the daily, I needed an easy way to process and organize my scribbles. It's based around uploading photos of whiteboards and breaking their content down into smaller, consumable pieces. Maybe it can help someone else.

Key Features:

* Whiteboard photo storage

* Interactive photo environment

* Card generation with markdown

* Minimalist-style Kanban boards

* Calendar events

Stack: Terraform, AWS AppSync with Go Lambdas, Serverless Framework, Postgres, AWS Cognito, React, Apollo Client, Tailwind

I should mention there is a somewhat-strict monthly limit to how many photos each user may upload (3 per 30 days) and there is currently no way to upgrade. If you reach your limit early and need more time to get the full experience, send me a message and I'll increase it.
There are solar powered wristwatches with GPS.
A cheap lightbox with an opening for the camera would be interesting.
I hear this repeated a lot. In practice, at least in the cities I've lived in, I've only seen housing go downmarket when there's an explicit exodus. The reason is that housing is built for a specific living space size. Los Angeles has so many single family houses that it's impossible to cater to people downmarket...unless houses are torn down and multi-unit housing is built. You could rip those down and build upscale, large apartments, but I feel like I see them sitting vacant instead of moving downmarket. The bust sucks for everyone and the boom (gentrification) sucks for the less well off.

Maybe we're saying the same thing, but instead of gradually reaching a equilibrium like you're describing I see a dramatic boom bust cycle--both are held back by lack of building.

I don't know? Sometimes I also have issues where the perspective correction stops working and I see the image of each eye individually, with blind dot and perspective issues at the same time. But luckily only if I'm very tired.

Maybe something's wrong with my mind? But 24/25Hz, even with the correct shutter speed, is noticeably causing strain to process, while e.g. old school TV productions at 50Hz don't have that issue.

Some important context I didn't see in the tech press: the previous day, the prosecution violated Rittenhouse's Fifth Amendment rights and various other due process rights while questioning him on the stand. At one point, the prosecution attempted to defend themselves by arguing to the visibly angry judge that they had a "good faith explanation." The judge responded, "I don't believe you."

From what the judge has seen in this trial, the prosecution has shown it will stoop to any low to get prejudicial evidence in front of the jury. I don't blame him at all for not just taking the prosecution's word for the veracity, authenticity and provenance of the photo.
could be, but it seems the correction signal only kicks in once there is a threshold discrepancy. I guess studying many such tracks could give some hints and correlated with what is known about the physiology of how these birds orient.

When I need to write advanced SIMD code, or consume C libraries like FreeType designed to be hostile towards FFI, I often make C++ DLLs to be consumes from C#.

Unlike Rider, Visual Studio is not just .NET IDE, it's a C++ IDE as well. The two debuggers are integrated too, it's easy to debug both C# and C++ at the same time.

>The transmission technology will continue to be of great importance, as sensors weighing five grams are still too heavy for many animal species: 70 percent of bird species and 65 percent of mammal species, not to mention amphibians or insects, cannot be equipped with sensors using the current technology.

The main problem for me with wireless earbuds is: they fall out of my ears. No matter what brand, no matter what shape. I'd love to wear them, but they pop out quickly even if sitting perfectly still.
I've tried over the ear headphones and if you wear glasses, they hurt - they press your earpieces painfully.

The prosecution presented modified evidence, claiming that the modification doesn't change it, which the defense objected to. Why would the burden of proof not fall on the prosecution?

Fact: inflation devalues the money you already have such as savings and wages. The money supply is being increased. Each increase devalues every dollar you hold by the rate of inflation. So 5% inflation devalues your money 5%. So 1$ buys what 95 cents used to buy. It's a well known central bank scam/Jedi mind trick
I'm not just talking about CGI, even e.g. taking my own a6300 and recording a moving scene has this effect (even with the 180° shutter rule).

It's just as choppy as 24Hz at 1/1600 shutter, but in traditional film, it's choppy and blurry due to the slow shutter, so I can barely see anything.

For quite se time I'd run upscalers to pre process all movies I was watching to 60Hz or 75Hz just because it was noticeably easier to watch.
> Python and other dynamic languages don't use static types and that may give them a (very) small advantage in productivity as well, but only for very small programs... as program size increases, in my experience, statically typed languages take the lead in productivity... as OP is about writing general software, not just small scripts, I really have a hard time agreeing that Python is either the best tool for the job, or the most productive tool at all.

As a counter point to this - Python has a large number of C-based libraries with excellent bindings. To take Numpy has an example, you can the static-types and speed of Numpy to do all your maths, whilst Python acts as the manager. Using Numpy "feels" like normal Python, you don't really feel like you're working at native-level, but you get all the advantages of native speeds and memory usage.

And to your other point, I've worked on large C++-based projects which were a complete mess, especially when you had to make any changes to existing code. I'm not sure the language has as much an affect here as just using the correct design principles.
In a paradoxical sense yes... Obviously in this case it was pointless zealotry, but one of the main purposes of import taxes is to artificially limit imports to favour internal markets, in this sense free stuff is actually worse than expensive stuff.

Which, unfortunately, is ignored quite often from people who haven't experienced "death" yet.

As a human being, I find these feats of navigation and stamina astounding.

Human beings cannot do anything like this.

These birds are awesome.

Still, I find it peculiar and somehow off the mark to contextualise one bird's flight as a "world record".

In the bird's world, these are ordinary events. The only standout feature of that flight is that no human had witnessed and recorded anything more superlative.

It's OK that humans enjoy measuring things and celebrating the longest X or the biggest Y or the fastest Z. As I human, I get that.

What's less OK, and somewhat diminishing of the bird's natural majesty, is that if another bird were to fly 2% slower or less far, humans might shrug their shoulders and ask, so what?

There is another factor when it comes to moving: people don't necessarily want to move away from their families and friends. It's becoming increasingly common for families to be spread apart which is really a shame because it makes having children way more difficult (your parents will often gladly give you free "childcare" and it will make them happier too). I also suspect mental health problems are more prevalent in people who don't really have a "home". I've met so many people highly educated people in tech and academia who are essentially vagrants and they are often deeply unhappy at not being able to maintain relationships.

The centralisation of computer related jobs in the UK is sad. I had to move to Cambridge as it seems to be the only option that wasn't too far away and wasn't London. House prices are ridiculously inflated here and you don't even really get anything for your money. All the "culture" here is posh people shit (ie. only for Cambridge University people) or just regular stuff for the plebs that you can find anywhere. I'd have much rather moved somewhere like Bristol, but there just doesn't seem to be enough work there any more.

I've seen a disturbing amount of rhetoric from people at Microsoft who work on dotnet that aligns with this article. I'm not sure they have a good handle on how much enterprise code is still being written daily in "old dotnet", or if they do, they don't care. But the general sense is that legacy is lame, get with the cool kids on latest. Also we're encouraging OSS to drop support for you if you're on legacy, and we don't have a great upgrade path for you. Shades of the Great Python Split.

I don't really view the new dotnet core/5/6 platform as very stable, not when they are still releasing this often and making breaking changes.
It's game-ified and an alien planet. Could be a tool to learn how to think of the problem.

Quick ballpark numbers. Common solar panels are between 15 and 20% efficient. Numbers for the _surface_ of the earth (not the upper atmosphere) are quoted as about 1000W per square meter in a search. I assume that's a peak number.

Since I don't want to think about weather, calculus, or any other factors for a napkin estimate, can we agree that's 8 hours of useful output at 1KW of input power per hour? So over a day 1 meter of solar panel would generate between 1.2 and 1.6 KW / day? I'd also very crudely extend that to 75% of the daily output must exist as a storage buffer. (Gut feeling more than anything else.)

1.2KWd to 1.6KWd of daily generation per square meter.

0.9KW to 1.2KW storage; per square meter for a day.

I have trouble visualizing that though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-cycle_battery Suggests that the discharge should only be to 50% on a regular basis for the most economy of material use (and thus cost). Double the above estimates for the storage bank.

Searching for "deep cycle battery solar" I see many results for 12V 110AH batteries, just a tiny bit more than the 1200KW storage value I guestimated earlier. Around 200 dollars per battery, about 13 x 7 x 8.5 inches (rounded up). So a big honking consumer 'truck' / SUV battery sized deep cycle battery, but double that up for wear prevention.

Though I still prefer baseload generation capacity for industrial and 24/7 loads. Solar can be a good peaker for AC use and waking consumer stuff.

You guys have built quite a nice and useful product. I was thinking of a similar project which required crawling all of reddit. But presently there are some hiccups due to the large amount of data involved.

I wanted to ask how you guys manage the reddit data? Do you use praw/pushshift to get all the comments/post titles or is it limited to selected subreddits? Including all comments and all subreddits is quite a lot of data I guess. Any suggestions to collect that data and then work with it effectively? Thanks.

Are they any algorithms books that don't use data structures backed by linked lists but rather arrays or vectors? Linked data structures are barely used in practice. It can take a student weeks to go through Linked Lists and data structures using them, just to find that they're hardly ever used in practice. Contiguous data structures are the dominant types used today.
1. is the best solution. That's because it is the only solution that encodes the problem in a way that it is still obvious what is being done. 2. and 3. are incomplete without a pile of documentation to explain why they do what they do and what you'd need to do to modify them in case the inputs change.

> Sadly, governments in the US seem to be more interested in maximizing real estate values than in housing its residents.

Our ancestors would jog for hours to chase down prey. The prey had to stop to pant to cool down which it couldn't do while running. I don't know how long it would have taken but at least a few hours seems like a reasonable assumption to wear down the animal prey. Although I don't think even our ancestors could jog for 239 hours straight.
This is a solved problem for many of us. Svelte, for example, has arguably unparalleled DX as a framework AND compiles hyper performant, tiny bundles with server rendered pages that load faster than you can blink! I think we’re past a lot of this now that we have frameworks like Astro and Sveltekit, and WASM for more heavy lifting.
Even downscaling uses interpolation, but sure. The zoomed in part definitely wasn't shown at its native resolution though.

And bilinear interpolation is as simple as you can get besides nearest neighbor, yet it still has the potential to introduce wrong information/cause artifacting. So even in the "CSI" sense, zooming can cause issues (unless you want to argue that only nearest neighbor is CSI 'zooming'? But then not even browsers do only CSI 'zooming').
That's exactly how I use them. After the first 50 or so the ROI of that diminishes and you need to move on to something more effective. For that I use a project that I keep re-doing in different languages / eco-systems (a simple spaced repetition learning application).
