It was actually designed for this, so you could have fresh air during a pandemic in the winter :)
I do the same thing. I practically turn my heat off in the winter and all my neighbors warm me.
I find many removed articles are talking about issues with the social media which relates to tech industry in general that caused this snafu. It is clear that many working for this industry doesn't want to be criticized, so flex their muscles to prevent it.

The countries I used to live in Europe had typically it solved, by using some formulas; the assumption was that living in condominiums puts additional obligations on you; obligatory payments to the renovation funds, paying for shared electricity, heat, services etc.

The original problem 'stealing or not' is most likely moot. The definition of stealing is conventional, unless one believes in some scripture of divine origin detailing such things, or subscribes to philosophies like utilitarianism (which might be fine, it's just hard to argue such things from first principles)
Ask HN: Weirdest recent Linux/hardware problem you personally debugged?

Android makes a lot of phones but not much money.

When it comes to "flagship phones" for instance it is a strange status game where presumably customers get $900 of value because their phone costs $900. Flagship Android phones tend to have so many flaws (starting with zero software updates) that it's hard to see them as premium products.

One wonders if companies like Samsung, HTC, and such are not out to make money with phones but rather create a halo for their other products or to impress investors.
Their premises about logical systems are wrong so their conclusion is not valid. In short, of course, there are logical systems with potentially infinite state space. For example, a Turing machine. A digital circuit is no different. Turing completeness is abundant, it is everywhere.

It had the feel of PFE for me which I loved when I was on Windows. You did great work.
Huh? I own my home in the eyes of most people I care about (for example, most citizens and authorities of the United States.) But even within the US there are for example socialists who reject the idea
I own my home. They just don’t have the means to overturn this particular norm within the sovereignty of my country - but in some circles like that insofar as “being a homeowner” confers privileges such privileges would not exist.

Crypto mining isn’t causing GPU prices. All cards are expensive and the vast majority of them are useless for mining. The PS5 is still hard to find but useless for mining.
Recruiting solves a short-term problem, retaining solves a long-term problem.

You can find tons of examples of the same logic being applied by people around you. Only a selected few have the cognitive skills to contemplate the benefit of delayed gratification, and this also happens to affect employee recruitment/retention.
Good call instantpot was a game changer for me.

One thing that might elevate your dishes is seasoning and fresh herbs. I didn’t realize I was under salting my stuff, and a bunch of fresh parsley or mint really makes a huge difference.
If you presume that we will in large part be continually living in a video game of varying levels of immersion relatively soon then this becomes something fairly significant.
From the countless review and small time YouTube channels that test these things regularly.

I think that post must be a few years out of date - and moreover by its own admission doesn’t even test hardly any “gaming” keyboards. There is a tremendous amount of competition in keyboards that has been building for the past 10 years.

Input latency is now a marketing thing like horsepower, and there are reasonably reputable [1] places and countless small time YouTube reviewers that test these things.
It’s not like it is difficult to improve latency, and now that it is something that is competitively marketed it is delivered on.

[1] https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/tests/latency

Personally I think it’s a bit ridiculous. This fetishization with minimizing latency to now sub-ms levels doesn’t necessarily lead to better performance as many top level gamers do not use the lowest latency level keyboards. But that doesn’t change the fact that modern mainstream gaming keyboards can hit a latency far below 50ms.

180km/h

Edit: this doesn't make it my average speed, as much of the time is spent decelerating because of whatever is happening and accelerating back. The average through that 850km stretch is likely closer to 160km/h, I should measure it one day. For the curious: over the whole 3000km roundtrip I seem to be burning fuel at about 7l/100km, or 33.6mpg.

It has something different. Kristall parses HTML with gumbo and will re-emit cleaned HTML code that is then displayed as a rich text document.

I don't think that link paints such a clear cut picture as you claim.

In any case I don't see why you are so defensive about it. I don't mind if black people like fried chicken or not. How is that a hurtful stereotype? I'm German, so I guess many people will think I like sausages and beer. So what? Some stereotypes can also be true.

Ideally you could just wait until you saved money to buy your smart bike.

The issue here is at least with a credit card I'm motivated to pay off the debt ASAP, and shop on total price vs what the payments are.

Super smart bike for 99$ a month sounds better than Smart bike for 2500$.

I recall as a teenager I went to a Rent a Center and they pitched a 50$ a week laptop. For like 24 weeks. Absolutely idiotic, I saved 400$ and brought one cash.

This type of thing preys upon the fiscally illiterate. You should NEVER use this junk. Keep one or two credit cards and pay them off ASAP.
Yes, but you cannot act within their registry as a independent actor, transferring and receiving items in the registry on your and others will. They own that registry, and they chose to give you access. That's the difference between a centralized registry like that star registry, and a blockchain where every actor has equal access to the "registry". No one can stop you from transferring your NFT to someone else, while in a centralized registry, they could.
Why focusing on hiring?

The comment you're answering to is talking about harassment and gatekeeping.

Hiring is one gate, but if you're hired just to reach gender goals or to satisfy the lust of your new manager, you will not have the same experience at the company than someone from the other gender. Like getting raises or being promoted.

Things are complicated.

I’ve not edited anywhere near as much as you have but I agree, it’s so tedious and by the end of an editing session you can really start to resent the guest and all their verbal ticks. I find I get a good idea for what the waveforms look like for some noises and can see them coming and preemptively split the track the start with a decent success rate.

Using RiversideFM to get two locally recordings is also a big help.

I was sat next to an audio editor and producer at a wedding recently and we got on to this topic and he said “your number one job when editing an interview is to make the host sound good and then just do the minimum on the guest, otherwise you’ll waste too much time”.

Doing the kind of editing 8 hours a day I can see why he says that.
It feels like there has to be some limit to this kind of "growth".
Ha ha, and you are doing things for less that they can’t comprehend. Oh well, RF EE myself.
I’m still thinking there may be a religious angle to this somewhere. It’s so full of unquestioned unstated assumptions and pseudo-analysis.
I couldn't find exact questions that were asked which leads me to doubting their statistics for colleges, colleges provide wide variety of education, if the participants perception of college is only applicable to non-engineering fields then I would see religious bias in their answers.

If the question explicitly asks about their perception of science and engineering degrees in college I would imagine every corner of the world would vote positively.
Without mentioning any names, yes, I had a hard time getting in touch with one of the maintainers back then. Burn out is real.

Wubi also had a dependency on grub4dos which had an idiosyncratic development and release style, to say the least. It was also the only component developed by non-English speakers, which made communication very hard. Later releases had some major regressions that were never sorted out, and I think everyone involved found it highly draining to deal with these issues without a more fundamentally correct way of tracking and preventing regressions.
If it's 60 Minutes Australia, it'll be sensationalist rubbish. Go ahead, waste some valuable minutes of your life to watch it. I'll pass on that, I'm not stupid.

I'm guessing EU aren't going to like this. Microsoft might not be the primary browser vendor anymore but this still is similar to stuff they've already been sued for. Also I figure that such a focus on retail shopping might annoy their enterprise customers. Like what are their employees going to do all day. If you ask Microsoft it's spending their ssalary (and getting into debt),not doing their job.

> In other words, the replica might be 0.99999999999% similar, but people are apparently willing to pay millions for the remaining 0.00000000001%

This is wrong. People (as in regular people) aren't willing to pay millions, they are willing however to spend 20/50/100 dollars to go an see it in person at the museum vs. googling an image of it. All for that 0.0000000000001%

Consumers decided that for some pieces of art it is worth to spend some amount of dollars to go and see it once, in person and get that final 10th decimal place.

This is what in turn gives the painting value , and then wealthy individuals and institutions are willing to pay millions, because the painting produces revenues for the museum.

Sometimes it's owned directly by the museum, while sometimes it has a private owner who lends it to the museum and takes a cut.

> successes like AlphaGo, AlphaFold 2, and Deepfakery from video to voice all demonstrate the technology can do things we never really could do before.

Good grief, I hope so! After all that money! If no-one had come up with anything they could hype out the ears, the train would have stopped years ago.

The problem isn't toy inventions, it's making a significant positive impact on the world as a whole. Generalisability and efficiency of deployment, creating benefits for billions of households.

Lithium-chemistry batteries are having a net positive effect. AI seems to be a net negative, the way it's been used in Facebook and YouTube. Deepfakery is unambiguously a negative.

The jury is still out on Alphafold 2. The default expectation would be that it's like Watson as used in medical diagnosis. There wasn't much 'there' there.
If your light shines on your neighbor and he uses it to read and you asked him if he wants to participate in the costs of maintaining the light, but he doesn't want to, is it moral to cover the light so it doesn't shine on your neighbor if you have no other reason for doing that?
Exactly, the point of the comment being that generous defined benefit pension schemes probably aren’t some paneceal solution that capital is now withholding, but that they were at best a burden and at worst a lie.
A great light weight editor! I still use it from time to time.
You need to start with the assumption that an infinite set exists (Axiom of Infinity) for uncomputable functions (and other weird mathematical things).

Such concepts cannot appear in a finite universe.
Seeing the tracking data report from mobile Safari was quite a thing to behold. There is quite a valuable service in LinkedIn, but quite annoying to use currently. Also had the experience on the mobile version where it just plain stopped rendering input text, which was quite interesting to type through.
Ask HN: Is Voting Turned Off?
I was taking vacation from HN for a few weeks and some time ago I came back. I noticed the little triangles next to submission are gone, same for comments. Is this feature removed or something else happened that I'm not aware of (i.e. karma levels required for voting got higher). I googled for the answers but could not find explanation.

--- edit

@version_five pointed out it might be my browser setup, indeed I see upvotes in a browser without addons installed. Thanks for hints!
I remember standing in an elevator with my manager on the way to sign a contract for a new bit of software. It would cost us 100k per year for this software. I asked my manager, “don’t we already have this product in-house, at least most of these features?” Their answer: “who cares? It’s not my money.”

I think there’s not so much an incentive problem, but more of a “hiring the wrong people” problem. People that literally don’t give a crap about anything but their next bonus or raise.

I don't see Lambda functions in this way, but then again I'm not using them as server replacements as in making them the end points of an API call.

I use lambdas exclusively to process other events generated by S3 or DynamoDB that happen because my web service stored something or directly wants something to happen.

This way, I didn't have to write a scheduling system or a batch system for my software, I just use AWS's perfectly good implementations. I don't really see the advantage in specifying my API, tying myself to the AWS authentication infrastructure or trying to encapsulate small bits of my API into Lambdas although I can see why you might do that in a bigger system. For me, the scaling occurs in ECS, not in distributing lambda functions.

The better part of "serverless" is the containers running the web system, S3 and the managed service running the database. The lambda functions make the job of longer running tasks much easier to manage and they are terrific for that.
Only if you don't mind the lag. It's fine for music but for video or two way conversations, it's annoying.
> Were knobs ever gone in this context though?

Yeah, not all of them but compare a DX7 to a Montage 7.

The DX has 2 sliders and 2 wheels, and a bunch of membrane buttons.

The Montage has 2 wheels and something like 10 sliders and knobs, ignoring the general-purpose knob and selector wheel next to the display, plus a ton of specialised physical buttons.
Sure.

Of course, one important trick here is that no matter how fast your system call is, not making a system call is just faster. io_uring is an example, as are futexes. So it's worth spending more effort on figuring out tricks to avoid doing the system call than exploiting tricks to shave a cycle or two off the time taken to execute one.
You seem to be assuming that pay would not change along with everything else.

If everyone is supporting FOSS with their own developers, which they can pay more wages to because they aren't shelling out to Microsoft and apple, then Microsoft won't have as much income with which to pay exorbitant salaries.

Multiple parts of the system interact, dont assume nothing else changes with this massive shift (I'm not only talking about the German gov doing this, but all companies)
Yup, cilantro is another good one (modulo genetic variations and soap tastes). [1]

By definition nothing will ever compute an uncomputable function. You’re only stating a trivial truth that by itself fails to refute the conjecture that we live in a reality that has behaviors that cannot be accurately described by computable functions and that we are forever stuck with merely approximate computable models.

In fact, so far we’re not able to completely computationally predict any behavior of reality. Even the marvelous theory of quantum electrodynamics is only shown to be accurate to, last I knew, about a dozen places.

Due to an unfortunately widespread misunderstanding of the Church-Turing thesis, far too many otherwise intelligent persons with some CS knowledge are completely blinkered to the possibility that the universe could have behaviors that are real, but not describable with computable functions beyond approximately. The practicing laboratory scientists I’ve spoken with don’t generally share that defect since they’re used to everything being approximate.
It seems problematic to disentangle the complexity of an entity from the complexity of the process which produced it. If we define complexity as the Kolmogorov complexity, the two are equivalent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity?wprov=sf...)

Rather, I interpret Wolfram's idea as:

Surprisingly complex patterns can be produced by simple/concise rules.

In my interpretation, the ultimate example of this would be the unfolding of everything that has ever happened as the consequence of the laws of physics, and some initial condition of the universe.

Anyone interested in this setup try this if you have NVIDIA?

Looks like it can enable a virtual GPU so you don't need to actually use 2 GPUs, but I haven't tried it, it looks pretty cool if you only want to run only 1 to switch.
Timing is king. If you know when the current experts will become the old fools, and bet on it, you can be the richest man ever. It’s akin to knowing when the stock will rise or fall. Close to impossible unless you know more than others (and therefore become an expert ).
Union vs. intersection vs. outlier weighting is a beautiful way to put this.
I play stuff on Linux, it's alright. It's not as mindless a setup as gaming on Windows, but tech like Steam Proton and WINE have come such a long ways that I can comfortably play the vast majority of Windows releases with near-native performance on the same device I write code with. It's pretty comfy once you get the hang of it, I'd recommend checking out library compatibility[0] and some benchmarks[1] to get an idea of how far things have come. It's not too far-fetched to just build your own Linux console as a weekend project.

I was working on an embedded system. I told the hardware guy that the CPU clock input wasn't running. He said, "Any reasonably intelligent software should have detected that condition and handled it." I replied, "Seems to me the software acted appropriately for the conditions."
Serverless is further towards the OPEX end of the axis because OPEX is generated and then payd whereas CAPEX needs approval first. With serverless you no longer need to request approval for new instances. The harder the management believes IT to be a cost centre the harder IT will try to wrestle control away. The story of On prem vs Cloud is the story of CAPEX vs OPEX is the story of expenditure aprooval friction.

Sad.
I’ve been a keen gamer since a kid. Now a dad, I’m in a similar position where I rarely have time to play. But I adore the Oculus Quest 2! I’ve just completed Resident Evil 4 (it took several weeks, but it’s the first time I’ve completed a AAA game in years). The immersion is amazing, I haven’t been this absorbed in a game in a long time. Fighting your way through a fully realised VR environment (massive castles, underground caverns etc) is something new to me. I found that most console games are too complex for me to get back into after a week or two away - the mental effort needed to remember the controls puts me off after a long day of work followed by looking after the kids - but RE4 VR doesn’t have this problem. It’s very intuitive - you grab weapons from different points on your body, reload with physical motions, and there’s only a few actions that map to button presses, so it’s made it easy to pick it up again after a break. I’m looking forward to seeing this platform develop. Bonus: I tell the kids they can’t use it till they’re teenagers, so whilst they hog the PS4 for Minecraft, the Quest is exclusively for my use. :)
A sideeffect free api to turn on the computer in haskell would be brilliant.
that's a theory. But then those develping departs might be very understaffed and get swamped with feature requests, which means end users might still not get what they want. That happens even for any central tools in the big tech companies, which likely have more resources to work on those.

And there's the additional challenge of actually getting contributions landed upsream, which requires work from other maintainers.
