Why do people sever the sexual organs of some plants and give them to each other? Truly puzzling, the human customs of tormenting plant life for no discernible gain. It's probably the Republican's fault.
Yes, it is unavoidable. But have you tried dealing with apple support versus samsung support?
Is there any information about the type of CT scanning equipment and methods they use?
I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. I've gone through a similar "murderboard" experience during my Ph.D. jury. I've been put down, borderline insulted, people knowing me personally behaved like they're my enemies knowingly.

I can understand my code and design decisions put through its paces. I can understand my writing is criticized. Jury is for that, and corrections are for improvements.

But implying that I'm a stupid, incapable human being just because I didn't write a paragraph about something which can be inferred from a graph easily, or my code is inferior because I didn't use that library but, my code's running almost as fast as the leading code (almost: 99% of the performance) with a much easier to maintain libraries.

Or to put it another way, it wouldn't hurt a jury or a murderboard to point the problems in a nice, but firm manner, both making the points more prominent and learning a lot of respect in the process.

We're humans at the end, we're doing stressful things. Removing extra personal abuse and fuzzing from the equation will just improve things, across the board.

> If you're employed by your clients and do it in their name, doesn't that make you the first party?

If you're an employee, yes. If you're a consultant, contractor, freelancer or similar then you are a third party doing as you do it on behalf of your client (the first party). This is for UK law, and the distinction of first/thrid party is important when it comes to tax (see IR35 for the mess created).
4TB is a huge amount of data. And it’s costly to keep data spinning. 4TB storage an in apple device is going to set you back a lot of money for example. Not everyone has a NAS or the ability to run one and even more importantly to back it up effectively. It becomes a large monkey on your back and a cost and not an advantage.

Looking at my device storage, I have 91Gb online for 5 people. That’s everything we have ever done. Because we care enough to look after it and curate it.
I definitely remember a time when this was something to watch out for (early 4k days), and made most TVs non-starters as computer monitors.

I don't think it's true anymore though as most TVs I've seen, even the cheap ones, can do 4k 60hz over HDMI no problem.

This one I've been eye'ing is $500 at amazon for the 43 inch version: https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-43-Inch-Class-QLED-Built/dp/B...

According to rtings it does 4k at 60hz, 500+ nits peak brightness, and even has a 32 inch version (at a even lower $400 price)!

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/q60-q60a-qled

It's an absolute steal in terms of specs/dollar compared to pretty much every 4k monitor out there. I'm just hesitant to pull the trigger because of the manual wake up thing, which has really frustrated me in the past.
>retaining the same visual style as code written in an editor

I think its just their editor's syntax highlighting, likely for Javascript. Highlighting numbers in a different color definitely helps, but highlighting a very small subset (I assume only in and of) of random prepositions doesn't really do much.
It would be funny if the signs and magnitudes worked out to allow the 1 micron sphere to levitate inside a 4 micron hole.

Until Rust gets the compilation story sorted out, what you save on the computer center gets spent in developer workstations.
yes, loyalty just reduces the cost per click, but the math is the same, so they buy 100 people instead of 10 people with one reservation, but the game is the same.

EDIT:
also think about how many times people book per year, maybe 4-5 times in the upper quantiles? so if booking pays 3$ for you, it will take a couple of months until your next booking so they can reinvest your 15% commission to buy other people.

This is one that gets me every time. ”oh we’ll just roll out our shit in middle-of-nowhere-west-1c if it all goes to crap”. First time someone does that DR drill they find out there’s a core service missing they have built their entire empire on.

Also there’s contention whenever that happens. Last AWS outage we experienced, entire availability zones had no capacity available. If they did it took forever to spin anything up and migrate volume snapshots over as well as everyone else was doing the same thing at the same time.
Nah, bots are really cheap compared to simulating the game. You need to run the whole thing on the server all the time anyway, so you might as well keep a few dozen bots alive while you're at it.

It's only when hundreds of actual people show up that the machine needs to do any real thinking, and by that point you will turned all your bots off anyway.

Show HN: Create products that require programming by people who can't program
Traits, macros and crate features actually.
Hi!

Our team has been developing this tool for 7 years now, recently we launched a great deal on Appsumo. With it, we hope to gather as many opinions as needed.

BOWWE is a no-code and low-code tool, i.e. one that allows you to create products that require programming skills by people who cannot program. Currently, you can build websites, landing pages, and other products in BOWWE. Soon we will add the ability to build online stores. Later on, it will enable building web and mobile applications. And with precisely the same tool and having exactly the same competencies, creators will be able to build web and mobile applications overnight, without any additional learning.

• Custom code – write your own HTML, CSS, and Javascript. BOWWE is both a no-code and low-code tool.
• Clean code – create with drag and drop with software developer's quality.

Our foundation rule is that everything we create is based on healthy and evergreen principles: high quality, no shortcuts, and a real solution that will give you an advantage for many years. Hence, the code we want to generate must be comparable to the software developer's quality; the time to create pages and applications must be the shortest; possibilities of creating the greatest; and UX/UI the most pleasant.
What are your thoughts? We aim to constantly develop our product so any feedback is welcome!

Yeah, you could hack together a much simpler version of this with a DAG of dependencies.
The article seems to be tying two ideas together - immutability and infrastructure as code. I’m unsure why the author decided to link the two ideas.

Immutability, IMHO, is a terrible idea for infrastructure as a general purpose rule. Making it more complicated for developers to deploy systems, and requiring deployments to go through many steps (as immutability typically requires a full blue / green deploy), means MTTR will be longer.

Also, trying to fix a problem in situ takes longer (because you don’t have the tools for it).

Lastly, immutability is a lie. If you’re using something like v8, over time, the JIT and GC may change behavior. The cloud vendor may deploy new software.

If your software can be deployed as a fully self contained, stateless application, perhaps you can ignore these problems, especially by constantly recycling infrastructure. Now, the real problems begin to occur when you stop recycling - that’s when really interesting longevity problems appear.

I used 2.5 seconds. It is dark, the driver is tired and can not predict the behavior of the drunk pedestrian, and in times like now it might also be snow/ice. Road safety is part worst case scenarios and part about mitigation. It is why drivers here are trained that children will at any point run out on the road during play without them thinking. Children behavior are more unpredictable compared to adults and so it is the drivers responsibility to be vigilant against what they can't foresee.
> the ideas in science fiction don't work

Like robots, flying cars, space stations, tablets, electric cars, AI...?

Sci-fi lets us set impossible looking goals, until somebody comes up with something similar and practical. I'd give sci-fi more credit for shaping our current world. Writers dream, science builds which I think is a beautiful symbiosis.
IIRC, if the TV supports commands via HDMI, it can be woken up from sleep without a remote. It requires extra setup on the computer to work.

I "solved" the issue of my preferred screen size not being available by going retro. It turns out that 12+ year old formerly-expensive flatscreens are a bit rubbish with brightness and power consumption, but they are better than "modern" screens for my preferences.

I don't understand your point about this being "before Google come to existence."

If your memory predates Google's ~1998 search services offering, it's surely possible that you've misremembered what Benny said?

And the first reference I gave was to a copy of "Bright Lights, Dark Shadows: The Real Story of ABBA" from 2001, only a few years after Google. I don't see how Google search per se is relevant.

The Orkla link you gave is in Swedish(!). Good thing there's Google Translate. It essentially supports the point that Abba was concerned about behavior, not jocular opposition to becoming fishmongers as you suggested.

I do find it interesting that the first source I gave says "managing director" while the one you gave says "HR director". I expected "managing director" to mean CEO.

Ha! There's an ABBA fandom entry about it (because of course there is), at https://abba.fandom.com/wiki/Abba_seafood , which references the same page and translates the term to "staff manager".

Perhaps there are organizational differences between Sweden and US/UK which make direct translation difficult?

I think the idea was to vaccinate as many as possible before opening up. The vaccine rate is high, so maybe that's one thing solved.

Many in Australia were happy to get the jab. Others were pushed. Threats of job loss, or shamed with name-calling and segregation.

And others still were coerced over time. Worn down with endless messaging and fear-mongering. This government ad for example has an actor choking to death in ICU:

This looks like a really neat design for many microcontroller level embedded systems.

However, it mentions that one of the usecases is for the oxide BMC. AFAICT, a "modern" BMC is typically a more or less full featured OS running quite a lot of code, like a TCP/IP (v4 & v6) stack, IPMI and Redfish implementations (which then requires a web server with TLS library etc etc.) and so on. Without the capability to make use of the existing open source user space code in these areas, this seems like a quite tall order to write and maintain? And how does the "static tasks" system without the capability to launch tasks dynamically, handle things like multiple concurrent IPMI/Redfish users?

> People don't RTFM and manual may be overwhelming.

I think the point they are getting at here, is that if you write your information in the right way, people won't need a FAQ. As devs we all know the difference. There is documentation that is just a good read – not in the sense of "simple to read", but in the sense of "this is something I actually enjoy reading". If this is the case and all questions are answered, you won't need a FAQ. Granted – there will still be people who will go like "LOL didn't read" – but what makes you think these will read a FAQ?

If we follow their line of thinking, you should have a "Occasionally asked Questions" section for all the questions that sometimes could arise in certain readers, but arise to rarely to put it into the actual text.

I agree completely, it's a very strange objection - Rust is one of the very best languages for web servers. I wish I could use it at work instead of Django.

I think some C/C++ devs take a perverse pride in their language not being suitable to write web servers, because webdev is not real programming anyway (excepting the 'systemsy' parts like nginx).

Well, Rust is great at systems, great at web servers, pretty good at one-off script, even pretty usable for frontend. Every time I hear someone pigeonhole it as just a systems language, I think - you're missing out.

To be clear that was just filling a couple of gaps :) Ihave also done 2019 and 2020. 2019 has a couple of tough ones but only starting in the teens iirc. I understand some people found IntCode to be tough and there were a couple of IntCode ones early-ish, but I didn't find them that bad really.
This only got better (at least here) because booking.com had to change their practices after legal action from the EU consumer protection commission.

> As a market leader, it is vital that companies like Booking.com meet their responsibilities in this area, ensuring that online accommodation reservation systems are free from manipulative techniques such as hiding sponsoring in ranking, unduly putting time pressure on users or misrepresenting rebates.

> Booking.com has committed to make the following changes to their practices by 16 June 2020 at the latest:

* Make clear to consumers that any statement such as “last room available!” refers only to the offer on the Booking.com platform;

* Not present an offer as being time-limited if the same price will still be available afterwards;

* Clarify how results are ranked and, whether payments made by the accommodation provider to Booking.com have influenced its position in the list of results;

* Ensure that it is clear when a price comparison is based on different circumstances (e.g. stay dates) and not present that comparison as a discount;

* Ensure that price comparisons presented as discounts represent genuine savings, e.g. by providing details about the Standard Rate price taken as a reference;

* Display the total price that the consumers will have to pay (including all unavoidable charges, fees and taxes that can reasonably be calculated in advance) in a clear and prominent way;

> Having recently moved from Python (where the documentation is amazing)

Huh? Python's online documentation is horrible. In addition to what vbezhenar said, there are gems like this:

The arguments shown above are merely the most common ones, described below in Frequently Used Arguments (hence the use of keyword-only notation in the abbreviated signature). The full function signature is largely the same as that of the Popen constructor - most of the arguments to this function are passed through to that interface. (timeout, input, check, and capture_output are not.) [1]

"Largely the same"? What, am I supposed to divine the actually available parameters?

For built-in types, the docs are missing a way to quickly list all available methods and properties. You have to somehow piece it together from various ABCs. [2] Compare this to, e.g., Rust's online doc of its Vec type. [3]

> Also, their support is abysmal. Often when hotels fail to provide rooms as advertised, they play a "not my fault" game with the hotels, where the hotels claim they can't refund because the money is stuck with Booking.com while Booking.com claim the money is in the hotels account. Then they give you a "20% refund" that you can use on your next purchase there.

I'm going through the exact same dispute with VRBO (Expedia Group). The apartment that we rented wasn't at all what was advertised, so we left after one night. VRBO first said that because we left voluntarily, there was nothing they could do. After pointing out that we still have our booking as active, they said we need to talk to the owner directly. After pointing out that the owner is just ignoring our messages, they just said that they handle as a middle-man between us and the owner.

After pointing out that the apartment isn't what is advertised, and that the reviews don't even match the property, they said that we agreed to their terms and conditions. I then spend a couple of hours looking at their other terms and conditions, and pointing out that the owner had agreed with these, but that they had broken several of their terms and conditions by apparently using the same listing for multiple properties.

VRBO finally agreed and refunded us their 10% service fee, but claimed that the rest of the money is already with the owner, so we need to talk to them for a refund. (They have ignored us for weeks now)

I'm still baffled that they would handle it this way. First completely dodging any responsibility, only taking some responsibility after highlighting that the owner had broken several of their rules, and only refunding us their service fees. I never paid any money directly to the owner, so I have no clue how the owner will ever refund me.

At this point I don't even really care about the money that was lost, but the fact that both VRBO and the owner are willing to just take my money (1500 EURO), for a single night in their falsely advertised property infuriates me to no end. And I'm doing anything in my power to make their lives as difficult as possible.

How so?
Frankly, it's not just one thing. It's the seamless experience. Your experience might be different but coming from bulky Lenovo laptop with windows on it to the sleek machine which you are able to just open the lid and get to work is mind blowing for me.

On Mac, I don't remember the last time I shut down my machine or close the applications. All with out sacrificing the battery time. It's just there for me when ever I want to get back to work.

It just tracks function calls. The general idea is that if a function is called in the render cycle of a component, that registers as a subscription for that piece of data that function returns. There is some magic with proxy and getter to hide the functions but basically that's it.
I’m not a lawyer so can’t comment on the GPL point but I hope you’re right.

I suspect that the most likely route to open source higher performance cores is some sort of cross industry consortium collaboration - rather than a single firm - with GPL cores and a central body doing a lot of the work.

I do wonder whether you eventually end up with something that economically looks a lot like a cross between Red Hat and Arm though - say with membership fees for support rather than licensing fees.
Then? You already know the answer: it’s unreasonable, period.

I caught a stack of Model M's from a school in 1993; spent some time refurbishing them all, and had them to use up until a couple years ago when the last one died. I could have refurbished again, but I chose to buy a new Unicomp USB model M instead, and that has been serving quite well since. I'm rough on keyboards and mice: skin condition and constant minor bleeding.

I've used DEC vt220 and 320 terminals, their keyboards were better than average but not all that; IMO. the keys were a bit smaller and the whole thing more compact, I'd say. They're nothing like the build quality or repairable.

People used to speak well of Northstar keyboards back when, i didn't care for them. I had a Victor AT keyboard form that era that I wore out utterly.

The model M clicky noise isn't all that bad. I have only had complaints on a couple occasions, woke the wife up once with a spate of typing she swore sounded like someone shaking a spray paint can.
Ask HN: What hobbies do you have which help you rest your eyes?
One of the issues I'm having with lowering the strain on my eyes, is finding activities that do so.

Most of my day contains activities that are done in front of a screen or which are hard on the eyes. The only activity I found that helps is taking a walk (but that's about 1h per day, still need 1-2 more hours of eye resting / time spent outside).

So, I come here asking, what do you do in your spare time, that's healthy for the eyes and other body parts :) ?
