Killing flash was not about UX. The issues with it were technical.

Flash was not the UX for systems, but for fun little games and a means to tell a story in a way which wasn't available on the Web 20 years ago. This UX is fine as it is IMO. Cool even.
> Your marriage could end at any point. You just live naively thinking it won’t

Oh, I'm quite aware that it could end (whether due to death or divorce). I choose not to spend my time dwelling on the possibility, because that would be like living in hopelessness. There are a lot of bad things that might happen to us in the future, and some are even likely, but living in constant dread for the future is joylessness.
> I live only in CUDA land, I’m a bit ignorant of the other platforms, so I’m not sure what granularity of workgroups is here. Generally speaking you can’t rely on individual threads executing in any particular order, no matter how many there are, so yes you can’t have one thread look at data from another thread without some kind of synchronization

The only thing Raph relies on is, that if and only if a thread ever starts to run, then it will continue to make progress until it completes.

This is something you can rely on, e.g., on NVIDIA GPUs since Turing/Volta, and allows you to use atomics, barriers, semaphores, etc.
Another trick is to use (possibly nested) savepoints and rollback after each test, never actually committing any data.
> I feel like your underlying assumption here is that the average human has a similar level of intelligence and critical thinking skills as the average HN community member.

No. My underlying assumption is that my country (the US) is supposed to be a free country, where people are expected to make their own decisions and manage their own lives. If a significant fraction of people aren't capable of doing that, then, as I said in another post downthread, that's a problem, yes, but it's not a problem that can be fixed by just telling everyone to trust the experts. That makes the problem worse, not better.
I had looked at a few a while back. A lot of the work seemed to be grabbed for cents on the dollar by people overseas, but I will look into this again.
I want cameras that have apple airdrop, messaging apps, popular social media apps and file sync apps along with a full cellphone , wifi , bt, gps chip using android. It would be a dream to have my camera actually start syncing my photo shoot automatically when I plug it in the charger at home and have it not be a shit experience.

OR wifi sync and phone sharing that doesn't suck. But no camera manufacturer has shown the ability to do that, so an android app mode is the next best thing so they can offload the software writing to much bigger tech companies instead.

Top 1 annoyance with non smartphone cameras is sharing the photos I just took with other people at the event. I'm not fucking around with the frankly awful wifi experience on most cameras and I'm not going to bring a cable or sd card dongle to do so either.

# 2 is the lack of built in GPS. It's 2021, adding GPS is extremely cheap, especially if you've already done wifi anyway.

#3 is qi charging. After a shoot put the camera on the wireless dock and everything is syncing well with the local desktop computer.
Nowaydas, you don't even need other browser to download Firefox. You can use winget -- granted, it is command-line, but the option is there.
I don't think the camera has the horsepower to do the processing, but I would like to see them tagged.
For video-sharing platforms.

1. When you buy an Android phone there's a good chance that YouTube app is preinstalled.

2. If you search the net for "how to do XYZ" or for any song you'll get 99% video results from YouTube.

3. Almost every company/celebrity/influencer/... has a YouTube account and until recently (TikTok, Odysee, BitChute,...) alternative platforms (Vimeo, Dailymotion,...) were mostly a niche market.

A few comments here labelling this as impersonal, creepy or unethical. Full disclosure, I know the Numero team and we work with them, but I'd like to offer a different point of view.

It seems to me that the main point of this is to show off attention to detail, creativity and tongue-in-cheek messaging when applied to the hiring process, to attract candidates who'd do the same.

Given that the lists of 1,000 were combed through manually, with at least some receiving personalized messages, it seems at the very least a little more personal than your standard hiring process, and certainly no more creepy.

I can see why people might not like deepfakes being made light of, but that seems like a pretty nuanced issue and not something I'd immediately call 'unethical'. The main things for me are that (a) the people being deepfaked are involved in the process and (b) it's made extremely clear that the videos are faked.

Overall I'd say that the standard issues of fake-personalization or deepfakes revolve around something pretending to be more real or personalized than it actually is. Given that the entire goal of this is to show off how they stitched together tech to produce something the audience would find cool, it clearly isn't trying to fool anyone - in fact, surely doing so would defeat the whole point.
Mechanically there's only three degrees of freedom (translation in the plane and rotation about the optical axis), the cameras just calculate an approximately correct translation for pitch/yaw movements. Pitching or yawing the sensor itself would take it immediately out of the depth of focus (the image side equivalent of depth of field) and the image would be a blurry mess.
>There is a cohort of folks who have recovered from covid, seen the published evidence around natural immunity, and consider getting the vaccine to be an unknown risk with a known small benefit.

I guess this depends on your jurisdiction. Where I live (Alberta) we have a vaccine passport system in place so you need to be vaccinated to get into many places. Therefore my assumption was based upon people not taking their past COVID history into account, and rather get the vaccine based upon their desire to go to a restaurant for example.

My theory on who is getting tested or not is admittedly skewed toward the vocal minority of anti-vax protestors that take up more airtime then they truly occupy. I suspect that small group would be hesitant to get tested in hopes of avoiding the "told you so's".

My anecdotal experience currently is that all my friends are vaccinated and get tested when sick. I know this because it derails plans every weekend..."Have to cancel Saturday plans, family is sick and booked a test for tomorrow". It happens almost every weekend in my life!
Interesting idea. But doesn't this rely on public acceptance of the "imbuing of the original object's essence into NFT?"

How do you encourage people to associate the act of destruction with an act of value transfer?

As a counterexample, an art vandal destroying a piece of art does not inherit the value of the art, even though the vandal and art interact in a culturally significant way such that the art ceases to exist after the interaction.

Right, these things have become a bit ritualized.

To your first point I think you are missing their meaning a bit. There is actual encryption, like AES. And then there are communications methods that aren't open by default. The way in which the FCC regulations are penned means Ham transmissions can't be private in any way. So no just actual encryption but pretty much anyone with a compatible transceiver should be able to listen in to what you are saying at any time.

That level of permissiveness can be problematic because some technologies are by their nature not compliant. FHSS comes to mind. Its not encrypted but if you don't know know the sequence it might as well be. WiFi, bluetooth and most cell protocols use FHSS. So if you wanted to experiment with digital data transfer and make it in any way robust in a congested area you could not do so as a Ham. Its implicitly illegal.

To your second point I agree. DMR, P25, TETRA etc were developed with police departments and such in mind. To get the full use out of them requires a heavy investment infrastructure for trunking systems. And their programming models assume a set it and leave it use case where the operators are not trained or even savvy to RF comms.

This makes them at best clunky for Hams. DMR has caught on not because its the best, but I think because its easier and cheaper for radio makers to license it. In Europe Type 1 is also allowed unlicensed which gives the market momentum.

Objectively, it's possible to be "too broken" to be fixed (e.g. acute blunt force trauma, malignant tumor, etc.) where the only "fix" is palliative care. Although, I think technically we would say: "too broken to fix based on our CURRENT tools, knowledge and resources". It's an interesting thought experiment to think about how advanced can we become where anything is fixable?
Thank you Microsoft.

I hope if/when they upgrade their zip support, they only accept the new format if the filename extension is zipx.
Whether this is entirely by design I don't know, but Microsoft's positioning in the ecosystem is just brilliant. They're like a force of nature now.

NPM's security issues prime the ecosystem for privacy and security topic marketing (ongoing, check their blog), which is leveraged to increase demand for Github's new cloud-based services.

In the meantime they will just carry on moving parts of NPM to Github until there's so little of the former left, that it'll be hard to justify sticking with it rather than just moving to Github's registry like everyone else.

Eventually NPM gets snuffed-out and people will either be glad it's finally gone, or perhaps not even notice.
It's about as fun and easy to implement a simple thing that looks like a forth as it is to implement a simple thing that looks like a lisp. But that's where the ease of forth ends for me.

I find forth basically impossible to read even when, at best, authors leave a comment on basically every 1-2 words. Writing it is pretty hard too.

In contrast it's about as easy to be productive in a lisp (CL or Scheme) as it is in Python or JavaScript (give or take useful 3rd party libraries).

Even if they're from the same time period and are interesting for being not very Algol-like, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to discuss Forth and Lisp in the same conversation. They were both improvements on very different things.
Hilariously, the reverse is how I ended up in that position. The client really liked my results with my single team and re-structured 3 other teams so that they would fall under me as well. Their former team leads then became "Senior" ICs who could step in if I took time off.

Bing has been around for so long now, and it's always been mediocre. Surely it's not a profit center. Anyone have insight about that?

It's so original you're the third person in this threat to propose it. Congratulations! So smart!

Unfortunately, that sort of self-aggrandizing pseudo-clever cynicism is what's driving this whole fad. There were times when a generation thought free love and rock & roll were the answer. Their children knew weed wasn't the answer, but it tuned out those voices asking questions. Now, their children believe they'll strike it rich on the PGA Tour of buzzword-bingo, and while they wait for what they obviously deserve to materialize, they'll get started on the tacky simulations of what they believe the lifestyle of rich people to be a.k.a. Instagram. And when that doesn't work, they get frustrated, do the closest their fragile will allow them to get to therapy (Proud Boys telling each other they don't need women) and reach their final form once they've made up their mind if it's jews, liberals, women, or "the elite" that's screwed them out of the good life.

I think you have an useful feature, but needing to get someone else answer me what it is in comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29256481) isn't a good way to explain the product.

Regarding your questions, the most I've done was 4, usually at most 2. My PRs are single commits that I amend and force-with-lease after getting useful code review feedback. I don't think rebasing one after another is particularly annoying, but I think not having to do it is a nice feature. I wonder whether it's a product tho. I wish you success anyway.
Another way to make it more challenging would be to do everything in a single `sed` call. Maybe it's for that kind of script that features like `D`'s and `P`'s "up to the first newline" detail become useful.
I'm not disagreeing that there is likely an organization out there.

You lose a lot of negotiating power though when everyone knows that you are going to have a very short deadline, and don't really have an alternative.

> Would e.g. making a fork of Firefox that does not comply with this digital identity framework be illegal?

No, this only applies to medium to large companies shipping browsers and they only have to follow it after operating for 5 years. If you fork a browser and edit it then that is working as intended, and if you fork it and distribute binaries that is also ok since you aren't a medium big company. Possibly the company label refers to CA or site, but the 5 year window gives you plenty of time to refork every 5 years in the worst case, and this only apply if you operate as a browser provider so you can use it yourself forever.

"Web-browsers shall ensure support and interoperability with qualified certificates for website authentication referred to in paragraph 1, with the exception of enterprises, considered to be microenterprises and small enterprises in accordance with Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC in the first 5 years of operating as providers of web-browsing services"
Anecdata (only because I don't have access to the data anymore). Customer satisfaction is so much higher when they get a one click unsubscribe. In fact, when the friction is so low, the customer is likely to start the subscription back.

I say this as someone who worked in customer service automation. The worst customer satisfaction score with lowest rate of re-subscription is from companies that make it hell to unsubscribe.

I've seen customers send messages like "Cancel and refund immediately!" Since our response was ai driven, we cancel and refund no questions asked in less then a minute (we do fraud check in the background). Many times you get a response back from the customer apologizing for their tone and praising the product. Some of them restart the subscription a cycle or two later.

When you make it hard to cancel, you lose customers on the long term. Make it easy, in fact make it friendly. Unless you are selling a shady product, there is no reason to believe customers won't come back.

One more feature I would like to see, I've never heard of a camera supporting it but there has been aftermarket support on some Canons:

Automatic shooting of HDR exposures. Stacking them requires some human intervention and shouldn't be done on the camera, I'm simply thinking of the shooting. You put your camera on a tripod, select HDR and push the button. It shoots a frame and checks the histogram--are pixels falling off either end? If so, adjust only the shutter speed and shoot again. Keep doing so until the slowest shot has nothing falling off the dark end and the fastest shot has nothing falling off the bright end.

Some subjects (medicine) are all about memorization.

Leetcode is more like solving math problems; bad students are bad in a few different ways, a certain kind of bad student thinks it is about memorization -- maybe that is why they are bad.

It is a complex set of skills, aptitudes and knowledge to do that kind of programming. I think it partially relates to real work. Personally I did all the Python problems in HackerRank and I felt like it was a fun challenge where I learned a lot even though I was already experienced in Python.

Doing that kind of problem in a job interview is not the same as doing them online. You could be good at doing them online but choke at the whiteboard because of social pressure. You could also be bad at doing them online but lean on the other people heavily and still make a good impression. (e.g. you can really make people think you are smart by asking great questions.)

Confidence and bluster can get you a long way in those situations and you also can run into situations where the people interviewing you are just totally wrong about the problem and that involves both confidence and tact.

The primary route is "when in Rome do as the Romans do" so I play along rather than fight or fly. Maybe it is my bias because I'm good at that kind of thing (got a Physics PhD.)
It's a good route if you're lazy. I worked my ass off as an IC and always joked with manager friends that they don't work too hard. They didn't like that, but found out I was right.

It's not for everybody for sure, but if you don't like working it's better than solving hard problems.
