A lot of cameras have bracketing--even the bridge camera I carry while hiking has it. I'm talking about HDR-aware bracketing that decides how many shots to shoot rather than simply shooting a fixed range. Imagine a shot in a building looking out the window with sky visible. You could have a range of 10 stops or more.
> Your company needs a CRM, so you sign a year-long contract for, say, 50 seats on your chosen SaaS CRM. Then — yikes! After six months, half your team is laid off. Will the CRM let you adjust and pay for 25 seats for the remainder of their contract?

> That’s a big NO. Unused seats? Still gotta pay for ‘em. (It’s called “SaaS waste” for a reason.)

You committed to paying for 50 seats for a year. The CRM may have made decisions based on that commitment, such as hiring people, or themselves committing to bigger plans with their providers.

Why should they get screwed because you choked? Don't commit to long fixed periods if there is any doubt you won't make it.
I'm going to assume the assertion stems from these criticisms of the project, including criticisms from someone asked to fact check the project but who claims they were ignored.

It's great that embedded-hal exists, but somehow the DMA drivers in the stm32f4xx_hal and stm32f1xx_hal crates have a pretty radically different api, which to me means something's a little broken.
We make (very small quantities) of marmalade from our Poncirus Trifoliata (https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFin...) tree. This grows in the US in Zone 5/6.

The fruit is very bitter, and this gives the marmalade a wonderful wake-you-up sharpness.
This one doesn't bother me. In this scenario they're providing a real actual product that presumably they've worked hard on and has value. The free trial is their way of demonstrating that they have faith it's a good product and I'll want it. My credit card is a way of demonstrating that I'm a real customer that will pay if I do turn out to value it.

That seems like a reasonably balanced transaction on both sides, not sure it fits into this framework. There are so many far far worse practices out there.

It's often substantially cheaper to settle lawsuits than go to trial. This says more about our legal system and the American rule[0] than anything else.

There are a lot of people that think this is cancel culture. Bobby Kotick is likely going to be "cancelled"/fired from Activision if their board has any sense in the next few days. Was he cancelled, or did his past behavior finally catch up to him?

You are not entitled to a job or a platform and the people who have control over those positions are well within their right to remove you for the views and actions you take. Removing you from a position is a form of speech. And this isn't new, we've been doing this forever. Was Nixon cancelled? Were the Dixie Chicks cancelled?

Maybe you think they were, maybe you don't, but this idea that somehow someone is cancelled because society says "we don't like your bullshit anymore" is new or dangerous is just preposterous to me.

I find the influence that right/conservatives have in infecting our school curriculum (even if not always successfully) far more dangerous. "The war of norther aggression" is an actual thing taught to actual children in the south. I find that far more damaging to our society.
Regardless of your opinions on his beliefs, it seems a stretch to accuse one of the greatest chess minds in history of a failure of critical thinking.
Deplatforming is not the only form of external pressure applied in the academic world. Getting entire university departments closed, for example, is considered a bit more final and effective.

Also, it's interesting that even the very ideological "FIRE" group (not exactly a neutral player in all this) shows roughly 60% of user-submitted cases being deplatformed "from the left", which is far from overwhelming.
Inflation is about money supply. If the price of insulin is high because your money is worth less, that's inflation. If the price of insulin is high because a pharma executive is stepping on your neck, that's not inflation. How much you spend on services provided by poorly regulated monopolies is irrelevant.

That's not the case here - Singapore is majority Chinese. The sentiments you see are more run of the mill xenophobia - Chinese mainlanders are here to take our jobs, they're loud and unhygienic, they can't speak English, their Chinese has a different accent, etc. You won't hear it being said to your face, but these are not uncommon views.

Perl and Python are scripting languages, their energy savings come from the fact that the programmer is typically the only person who will be running it, so it makes more sense to write something that minimizes screen-on time than it does to micro-optimize an app that hundreds of thousands of people will interact with. It's entirely a matter of scale: if you're working server-side, I'd wager you're saving quite a bit of energy by not using an IDE that constantly relies on static analysis to make sure you're not shooting yourself in the foot.
The amount of apologizing and disclaiming in this thread is sad.

Here in Germany, physical businesses have even more egregious subscription policies than most "dark" SaaS-es. Think, you do not cancel 3 months before expiration date - congrats, you're now signed up for another year. As a result, ended up writing a small PWA to keep track of my contracts and subscriptions.
If someone suffers from a psychotic episode, and you accuse him of something he does during that psychotic episode without mentioning anything about the fact that he was suffering from a psychotic episode, then that is unambiguously a lie by omission.

People who suffer from psychosis do not behave in a reasonable manner. A psychosis is a medical emergency. It's like complaining that someone caused a traffic accident without mentioning they had a heart attack.

(Disclaimer: I have never heard of deBoer before, and for the sake of discusion I am going to assume he did in fact suffer from a psychotic episode)

Ask HN: Is there a process manager with a permissions model similar to Deno?
Is there a process manager with a permissions model similar to Deno (the node.js alternative)?

From Deno's documentation:

> Deno is secure by default. Therefore, unless you specifically enable it, a program run with Deno has no file, network, or environment access. Access to security sensitive functionality requires that permissions have been granted to an executing script through command line flags, or a runtime permission prompt.

I think Deno is interesting in how it locks down permissions by default and only enables access to certain features via startup flags. For Example:

> --allow-env=<allow-env> Allow environment access for things like getting and setting of environment variables. Since Deno 1.9, you can specify an optional, comma-separated list of environment variables to provide an allow-list of allowed environment variables.

--allow-hrtime Allow high-resolution time measurement. High-resolution time can be used in timing attacks and fingerprinting.

--allow-net=<allow-net> Allow network access. You can specify an optional, comma-separated list of IP addresses or hostnames (optionally with ports) to provide an allow-list of allowed network addresses.

--allow-ffi Allow loading of dynamic libraries. Be aware that dynamic libraries are not run in a sandbox and therefore do not have the same security restrictions as the Deno process. Therefore, use with caution. Please note that

--allow-read=<allow-read> Allow file system read access. You can specify an optional, comma-separated list of directories or files to provide an allow-list of allowed file system access.

--allow-run=<allow-run> Allow running subprocesses. Since Deno 1.9, You can specify an optional, comma-separated list of subprocesses to provide an allow-list of allowed subprocesses. Be aware that subprocesses are not run in a sandbox and therefore do not have the same security restrictions as the Deno process. Therefore, use with caution.

--allow-write=<allow-write> Allow file system write access. You can specify an optional, comma-separated list of directories or files to provide an allow-list of allowed file system access.

-A, --allow-all Allow all permissions. This enables all security sensitive functions.

My question is... Is there a process manager, that can run any process (not just deno/javascript application) that has a similar permissions model, where everything is locked down by default and you have to explicitly grant permission to your application to be able to have access to these functions that could pose a security threat.
Though apple pay does a decent job on the cancelation UI, the free-to-paid notifications (in email) are always a miss. I have seen this in trial subscriptions at home with buyer's remorse later.

Incorrect. You may distribute BSD-licensed code alongside GPL code, and you can release your modifications to a BSD-licensed work under the GPL, but there is no possibility of subsuming the BSD-licensed code in the GPL-licensed code. Any attempt to do so would constitute copyright infringement against the original authors.

An example may be illustrative. If your GPL project uses a BSD-licensed single-header-file library, and you distribute that library's source with your source, downstream users are free to take that library from your source repository and use it for their own purposes without abiding by the GPL. Nor may you change the license and copyright notice in the header file in order to claim that the library is GPL, because if you do so you will be violating the conditions of the BSD license, leaving you with no right to use or distribute the software at all.
https://lib.rs/cargo-crev tries to address this.

It allows you to review the actual published source of your dependencies. It then can check whether your project only uses reviewed dependencies.

Reviewing everything is of course a lot of work, so there’s an option to mark crate owners as trusted, and also reuse code reviews made by people you trust.
Well he isn't "just a billionaire with no expertise or special clearance in this domain".

Other people have responded about circumstances where hydrogen-as-fuel (or fuel component) might still make sense; without commenting on that, it's important to also note that hydrogen is an important industrial feedstock, independent of its potential energy applications (it's critical to producing fertilizer, among other things), and industrial hydrogen pretty much all comes from natural gas at present. Given that we need at least some hydrogen anyway, figuring out better ways to produce it is worthwhile.

In that scenario, total levelized cost is the more important criterion that efficiency -- if these things convert solar energy less efficiently, but the contraption is cheaper than solar panels plus conventional electrolyzers because it's simpler or uses cheaper materials or whatever, it might still be the more economical bet.

I chuckled pretty hard. Thank you for this.
The F1 series is the original STM32 and it has notable hardware differences with the later family members that show up in the HAL. While the API has its sore spots there really is no good way for them to paper over all the differences between these variants. Avoid selecting F1 if you need optimal forward and cross compatibility. I'd also point out that the newer LL driver code is the "fixed" HAL wherever that's available.
Doubt many investors keep their properties intentionally unused.
Not my area of expertise either, but I gather that hydrogen is difficult to store in quantity, requiring large heavy pressure vessels, and it has relatively low energy density. Both of which count against using it for commercial flight.
The comment was about mainland Chinese specifically, not ethnic Chinese, who in Singapore form the majority of the population. In countries like Indonesia--where riots like ones you mentioned have taken place--they are a small minority.
I'm not sure we read the same article. I didn't get a "you have to know the full contents of my mind" vibe, but I definitely did feel like he's making an appeal to know the full truth of what he did before you decide how bad he is. And asking people who would publicly write about / condemn him for what he did to at least tell the entire story.

Ask HN: How to Pitch Startup that purchases land and builds
I've got a startup that a friend and I are interested in pursuing in the international hospitality space. A core part of this idea involves purchasing land and doing physical building construction, In this case in Colombia.

We really believe in this idea and are willing to put a substantial chunk of our own savings behind it, about 750k, but we still need to raise another $1.5 million.

I feel like this does not check a lot of the boxes of what a VC firm would want. We believe that this is an awesome investment compared to let's say buying the S&P but in reality it's probably never going to be a billion dollar company.

Any thoughts on how to approach fund raising for something that involves a substantial investment in physical assets and a lower risk, lower reward profile than the moonshots VCs are looking for?
Cool on the way to sustainable liquid fuels.
I mean relying on a massive corporation's total dominance over the web and semi-arbitrary rules for reward and punishment in order to tell the "business" side of your company no isn't exactly something I would be touting as a positive thing.

All of this crap is because sw engineers don't have a professional association with an ethics board. Can you imagine if you could put the experience of your users first and tell your business to fuck off when they ask for this nonsense secure that they really can't just fire you and find someone who will sell out.
Yes, that's possible. I do not have the data to either confirm or disprove it.
Dissecting the early Covid-19 cases in Wuhan
Appreciate your honesty and consistency. Likewise, I think the phrase "mental health issue" does a lot of heavy lifting for you. I don't think many mental health issues disqualify you from making a self-respecting decision over your own body. Few truly want to impose such extended blanket restrictions on other life or death decisions like critical treatment-refusal, military action, many types of self-destructive behavior or (controversially) abortion. Something about suicide brings out people's inner autocrat.
UX for XR: User Experience Design and Strategies Workshop and Book Giveaway
Sawant and her supporters have had a pretty loose relationship with the truth in general, so I wouldn't put too much stock in that. It seems far more likely that if it's specifically in response to recent events that it's actually the fact that "conservative" (by Seattle standards, where we just elected the first republican in 30 years to a city office) candidates did quite well in the Nov elections where they were running against far left candidates and had squeezed out any more moderate voices in the primaries.
We're not even recycling ten percent (per [1]) of post-consumer plastic waste, and most of the "recycled" you see in advertising is hogwash - what is counted are scraps from along the manufacturing process that get recycled for that metric.

We should be focusing on actually enabling any recycling, not nitpicking about efficiency gains.

And where exactly does the energy stored in a battery come from, do you imagine?

This is PV powered production of hydrogen. Yes, the PV electricity could go directly to a battery, granted. But the PV cell is only about 20% efficient in that conversion. (Lab results are up to 30%.)

There are use cases where rather than an electrical transmission line needing to span an ocean, energy could be stored chemically (e.g. in hydrogen, or hydrocarbons produced from them) and transported like LNG across an ocean.

The claim of 95% round trip efficiency is basically relevant if the the energy is to be consumed (or placed on a grid) near the point of production. Otherwise 65% (13%/20%) efficiency for chemical energy that can be physically transported is not too bad.

Hydrogen is a battery from the perspective of a renewable energy system. If it is produced as a byproduct of a fossil fuel (as is commonly done) IMHO, it is not a renewable resource at all. Producing it from solar PV is a completely different kettle of fish.
Taiwan elections are charade-ish? Can you back that up with anything?
I'm confused by how "all you approve of" should work. In an election with Center-Left, Center-Right and Fascisf, if my preferences are in that order, do I approve of the Center-Right candidate? I suppose they are better than the Fascist, but I wouldn't really approve of them except if it was a choice between them and the Fascist. Is "approves of" dependent on the candidate set?

Ok let me try to maybe make it simpler.

Back to the circle… take a string and pin trace a circle with it, take another piece of string and trace it.

Cut the traced string in half each half would not have the value Pi (granted the original string you had used to draw the circle has a value of one). That relationship is fundamental and the answer we are trying to find is exactly is this fundamental relationship that would explain why the constants have the values they have.

As in there needs to be a certain mechanism that defined those values in relationship to each other in a manner that does not require “fine tuning” because that would require either an infinite number of other universes which can have different values regardless of the fate of those universes or a cycle of death and rebirth in which these values somehow can be randomized (which opens a whole other question how does that happen?).

The Art of the Turtle
Ariadne actually answers this in that thread: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/16660#issuecomment...

I'll quote the section:

"Given that the OpenSSL 3 migration had an outcome where our contingency plan came into effect, I believe it to be the most prudent course of action to evaluate all possible options before committing to trying the OpenSSL 3 migration again, such an evaluation would be required by the TSC anyway."

The Alpine project operates independently from OpenSSL, so it's no surprise they published their own report to discuss their own timelines. I'm not sure I can attest to this being a "personal" reaction from my interpretation. Instead, this seems rather like the Alpine project's reaction to their own internal deadlines. Tossing out OpenSSL may appear flippant from a distance, but getting SSL correct for their own releases and finding projects that want to work alongside them (as LibreSSL is supposedly responsive towards doing) should be a priority if you're in charge of getting this work ticket over the line.

Of course, the wording and general attitude towards OpenSSL developers can be interpreted however you want, but I don't see this as outright hostility or a personal reaction so much as "this ticket was left for over a month, and our project needs to make forward progress."
