- Monitor says it is receiving a 10 bit HDR-ST2084 signal https://i.imgur.com/IFa5Y1e.jpg

- Windows says it is sending a 10 bit HDR signal to a monitor reporting a peak brightness of 1566 (which is correct, HDR1400 certified with an advertised peak of ~1600) https://i.imgur.com/WatJ6gP.jpg

- Windowed applications that support HDR (e.g. Krita or Chrome or MPC-BE w/ madvr) are detecting the display as linear HDR and using FP16 backing. Note on this display the SDR brightness was manually adjusted via the slider in Windows to be near 500 https://i.imgur.com/dD8HvfC.jpeg

- YouTube detects and defaults to serving the HDR versions of content, in this test case smpte2084/rec.2020 https://i.imgur.com/HI2fPKr.png

- The peak brightness I actually see in the HDR brightness test video is bang on the ~1500 nit mark I'd expect for a small brightness window (this image was taken with parameters to match almost exactly what I see in real life in terms of visibility on the brighter test cells https://i.imgur.com/z4nW5on.jpeg)

- P3 images with content in the extended range stand out perfectly clear https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelogic/wide-gamut-tests...

When HDR first landed with Windows in 2018 I remember it was a crapshoot of driver/windows build as to whether the transfer function was correct and there was a longstanding bug where if a video was particularly bright for too long all HDR content would look like a god awful tie-die until you bounced the display. Since ~late 2019 I haven't seen either of those and I've added a few more HDR monitors, quite literally just plug it in, enable hdr, make sure the monitor went into HDR mode, adjust SDR brightness, and off to the races. Ironically when I got an Xbox Series X about this time 2020 it took a few TV firmware updates to a Q900R before HDR started working properly with very similar kinds of issues as when Windows first got HDR.

I just got a 16" M1 Max with an HDR screen. There it seems to work out of the box (with Safari at least) but I had to tell YouTube a fake Windows Chrome user agent to get it to serve HDR content. I've heard there have been some kernel crashing issues with HDR on it but other than loading up a quick YouTube test to see how the screen was (great!) I haven't really messed with HDR on it. I do recommend disabling TrueTone and auto brightness, in particular TrueTone's effects are really amplified on HDR content and can ruin it completely depending on the room you are in.

If you ever want a cool demo to show off your setup Krita in HDR mode allows you to paint the absolute extremes of brightness and color gamut in large swatches. It can make for quite the effect when comparing it to a good calibrated sRGB SDR monitor.
>Businesses’ main motive for moving to the cloud was never about cost but “scalability”: having access to additional computing resources with a few clicks.

That's not accurate because many businesses do migrate for cost reasons. Especially for internal non-public facing servers like email. E.g. They moved from self-hosted Microsoft Exchange servers to cloud-managed email like Office 365 Exchange Online -- or switch to another cloud competitor like G Suite.

>Ms Wang and Mr Casado have suggested that firms should think about building their own private clouds to keep costs down. So far few firms have opted for such “repatriation”, which is both costly and makes it harder for businesses to enjoy the benefits of essentially unlimited computing resources in the public cloud.

As a case study, The Guardian newspaper tried building their own private cloud and failed. They ultimately just went with AWS: https://web.archive.org/web/20160319022029/https://www.compu...

If the company's business profit is not in the tech sector (like The Guardian), this means its IT datacenter operations is not its core competency which makes it hard to build internal IT that can keep up with AWS capabilities. Tech businesses like Dropbox, Facebook, can hire & maintain skilled IT staff like AWS but most other non-tech businesses can't.
Philosophically I think the monorepo is better. However it is my experience that most commonly available dev tooling assumes multi-repo setups and that ends up requiring you to write a lot more tooling and glue for CI/CD than you might want to be doing.

Monrepos can encourage a lot of good practices and can provide some pretty large benefits which is why many large engineering orgs gravitate to them. But most of those orgs have the capacity to absorb the tooling costs they bring as well.
I'm in no way an expert. however, its pretty much common knowledge that viruses mutate, given that it makes sense that vaccines need to be updated. i see two scenarios:

1. forever taking vaccines at periodic intervals, probably enforced by law, judge dredd style

2. this particular virus will become less severe once everyone had it + was vaccinated and overly aggressive mutations died out, vaccines will be recommended not enforced

WordPress Hacking Common Reasons And Prevention Tips: https://www.hackerslist.co/wordpress-hacking-common-reasons-...
Hi CEO of Kolide here and one of the reporters of CVE-2021-30987.

This vulnerability is basically an information disclosure issue that enables you to get BSSIDs from the Airport Utility without the appropriate location tracking entitlement. Even worse the OS will not even flash the "location being accessed" indicator in the status bar when geolocation is determined this way.

Essentially any app can shell out to the CLI tool and parse its output and then feed the resulting BSSID to one of the many external BSSID -> Geolocation services and determine a device's location.

At Kolide we are huge believers that device geolocation should not be accessible to third party programs without end-user prompting (even ones managed by MDM) so we aggressively seek out gaps the TCC authorization model (or other OS issues that undermine the tenets of https://honest.security) and report them whenever we find them.

I reported this vulnerability on January 17th 2020.

Edit: Btw, I am not really sure why the CVE was withdrawn. To me this is a pretty serious information disclosure style vulnerability and everyone should upgrade to this release as soon as possible.
It’s free, solid DNS product, gives me a CDN on top of it and stops a lot of pesky bots. Plus moving the domain registration there keeps the renewal at the lowest possible price.

I can’t see any good reason not to use it.
Belief Isn't Binary
Christians get belief wrong when they talk about "believers" and "unbelievers." Belief is never binary.
As if any Windows or in general Microsoft product gives useful error messages.

Hex error codes, or generic "Something went wrong" errors are the norm at Microsoft.
That’s not the suggestion though as that is still hiding the charge and not folding it into the price on the menus. If “automatic gratuity” is 20% just put prices up by 20%!
I was reading about this just yesterday, and was intrigued to learn that the backfire effect may not be real and/or may be very weak. Here's one meta-study:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7462781/

As I understand it (I am far from deeply knowledgeable about the literature! I'm just reading a book on this right now), Porter and Wood's 2017 study was one of the first that called into question the strength or existence of the backfire effect:

This is completely true for me too - I work in the Charity/non profit sector building websites. Nobody is getting rich, and for the most part people enjoy what they do and find it meaningful, it’s a good atmosphere
Mandate that the toys (i.e. non-food items targeted at kids) have to be unbundled - offered for sale separately (at a reasonable price, ofc). Works in Scandinavia. The McD's in Helsinki have bins of Crappy Meal toys for sale.
That seems like an easily solveable problem?

I don’t think thousands of times harder rings true, conditioned on having accessible shipments of new goods. On a slow but regular scale. A colony wouldn’t even need to be self sufficient. Just protected from the elements.

I have no doubt it’s very difficult, but thousands of times harder? Seems extreme to me.
I haven't used my old AWS account in a while, it's just sitting dormant. Since it's old it's linked to my Amazon account (root credentials == Amazon.com credentials).

I don't want to monitor it and these stories give me some anxiety.

I guess I'm supposed to close my AWS account? I wonder if this is even possible if it's the same credentials as your Amazon account.
The article isn't about sidewalks though. It's about re-using parking spaces. The word 'sidewalk' appears only once in the article, and only in reference to the type of thing you'd see in Europe. The "parklets" are build in the street, just at the edge (and off) of the sidewalk so the 100% of the sidewalk is still usable.
I know you probably can't share details, but would be curious to hear a little more color around these two situations.
The main repository description [1] mentions:

> The fastest way to build type safe web apps. IHP is a new batteries-included web framework optimized for longterm productivity and programmer happiness

Hence even without that line you could've figured that out with one click. Don't have to spam every release about what the program does, as long as the main repository description (including README.md) does.

> You claimed it was a lie referring to Time Machine, not local backup options on iOS.

Like I said, others had already covered the iOS side of things.

There are no Apple devices for which the statement is true, and the certainty of "Apple conveniently disallows people from making local backups encrypted with your own key" makes me quite comfortable considering it to be a dishonest statement rather than merely ignorant.

Similar to "vaccines don't work"; whether it's out of ignorance or maliciousness, it's a lie.

(Further complicating matters: telling lies even results in believing them to be truthful over time; it's still a lie! https://www.brandeis.edu/now/2018/november/lying-old-gutches...)
MBA here. The cloud is not a good value, the cloud handicaps your organization by placing your most valuable resource - how you compute - in 3rd party hands. Doing the financial math, the cloud is absurd, it is a very bad value; if it were a better value, the cloud providers would not have such high profits. Doing the flexibility math, having one's own datacenter - even a rented colo cabinet - provides far more flexibility than working through a cloud provider's ticketing system. Doing the organization knowledge math, having in-house skills to create, modify, and completely customize one's backend infrastructure with the knowledge that you're numbers are pure - nothing but your jobs are running on your hardware - grants you the visibility to optimize effectively.

I've done this: built a 17 server cluster, housed in a colo, for a high compute startup producing 3D avatars from photos automatically. The hardware for the cluster, including a Federal Reserve class hardware firewall, was just over $50K, with a month to month colo bill of $600. This was in contrast to $96K per month if the same configuration were at AWS. This was 7 years ago, so adjust the prices, but you get the exponential higher expense point.
> IP law is what it is, but you can make very good arguments that it (esp patents) doesn't actually help society at large, and that it shouldn't exist in its current form. I think you'll find a lot of people on HN who would back that.

Software patents generally suck and most IP laws grant monopoly for too long.

But also, some IP law is needed. I'd be willing to bet 90+% of HN would sign on to that.

> Somehow when it comes to China, people grab for any excuse to criticize them and "stealing tech" is one of them

I'd rather they not be relaxed for the express purpose of sharing technology and methods with an authoritarian government that promotes itself as the US's rival. Again, I'd be willing to bet most of HN would cosign that.

I'm always really frustrated by comments that are like "HN/group always says X but now they're saying Y! So inconsistent!" Like it's somehow mandatory to completely disregard context and degree when forming opinions. It's not. You can say no to sex with someone without committing to celibacy.

I'd be perfectly comfortable showing up on capital Hill and yelling that Biden shits his pants, but I would not be comfortable showing up in Beijing calling Xi Winnie the Pooh. It's ok if that informs my level of comfort supporting the technological progression of the respective institutions.

> As for some professor getting paid, tech profs can be a pretty hot commodity, so it's not in itself surprising that a prof is making big bucks teaching people about his subject and perhaps also introducing his network.

Tons of professors make good money. Great money. That has nothing to do with why this guy is in the news.
> After getting the tip, however, Brandt said her manager told her that she and the other servers who worked the party couldn’t keep all of it. Instead, they would have to split it among the bartenders, cooks and food runners, something that had never happened before, Brandt said. Normally, 7 percent of a server’s food-and-beverage sales at Oven & Tap are automatically deducted from their paychecks to pay those people, while tips are left untouched, her lawyer, Bill Horton, told The Washington Post.

I could understand the difficulty in handling this as a manager. Sure the other staff should be happy for the waiters receiving the tip, but in actuality there would likely be hostility among the rest of the staff that's likely paid less and have harder jobs.

She ended up being fired for going back to the person who gave the tip and telling him she was unable to keep it. Firing her was an over-reaction, but a restaurant should have a policy where the waiters should not be allowed to discuss tips with customers. It would avoid confronting customers about tip amounts or being pushy.
Yep yep. Same for kill la kill.
> vacuum cleaner-like suction device is then activated that draws fluid toward the feet, preventing it from accumulating in the head.

How does that even work? The liquid is accumulating inside the head. How would pulling a vacuum (presumably outside the body, in the sleeping bag) help? If anything the vacuum would force liquid to the head by squeezing liquid from the body.
WHERE folks HAVING difficulty with this concept? Sorry, couldn't resist.

But seriously, this concept doesn't seem to require as much attention as this post gives it.
its not exactly the same. there are probably significant efficiencies (energy, security etc) in provisioning and sharing "cloud" hardware in reasonably large chunks.
I'd hang on to NULLs, but I'd propagate nullability in the type system. That could mean disallowing anything but non-nullable boolean as filter predicates, forcing the use of COALESCE for clarity and explictness.
There are no CPU Gflops/W benchmarks online for M1, but my friends who have M1 laptops used this code to test it: https://github.com/brianolson/flops

The M1 is only good at highly specialized tasks that they have custom designed hard/firm/soft-ware for; which are all locked both legally and technically into a tomb where they will remain until the end of humanity.

If you spend one second even thinking about them; you are wasting time for eternity! Infinite waste!

RISC-V with an open GPU and linux is the only saving grace. I doubt we will manage before it's too late at a price/performance that can compete with Raspberry Pi 2/4 for server duty and Jetson Nano for client duty.

Fingers crossed and may you spend your money wisely!
> Yeah, I don't get this either. Isn't putting together a proposal with a fake high price for someone you don't want to work really awkward and a waste of time for everyone? It's like a power-trip meme in freelancer forums.

It doesn't mean the price is fake. If your client is difficult, you know you'll have more phone calls, spend more time on interacting with them than with the code, would need to give them more support, haggle on the requirements and changer requests. All that cost time. And since I don't like to do those things, my rate for "having a call with the client" is higher than my rate for "developing the feature". Of course, clients doesn't need to know my internal pricing, so he would either get my "x2-3 normal hourly rate" or "xX normal project price" depending on the type of project.

Doing it yourself makes things, faster, better and cheaper than Amazon.
Many people in factories did stay home. When the pandemic started my office was in a factory and i was told I wasn't allowed in the office. To get some test equipment sitting on my desk I had to get permission a week ahead of time. Likewise a lot of factory managers didn't go to the factory.

The people working the line in the factory need to go to the factory. However my company was paranoid that something would happen to them. If enough people working the line get sick production stops and then all profit stops. By contrast if a lot of people not on the line are sick but production continues - over a year is balances out.
Most humans don’t have an accurate understanding of legal language either, but it’s even worse, because they think they understand it. Even those that do understand can’t rely on a specific outcome.

The refrain I keep hearing is “I’d rather we didn’t”, but all the incentives are aligned such that it is clear that we almost certainly will, if we don’t already behind closed doors.

I’d rather we didn’t have lethal autonomous weapons systems too, but we do, and I’m willing to bet they’re not going away.

So, while we have the chance, should we develop the laws by which they operate in cleartext in public, or hidden inside of existing bureaucracies and autocracies?
I live in Europe and I remember all the people I've tipped, which isn't many, because they went above and beyond to serve a customer. US-style peer pressured tipping is ridiculous and worse is people defending the practice. Just pay your damn employees better.

I was thinking more in terms of during than before or after. And that HAVING was part of the GROUP BY syntax, and could therefore not be used without it.
I've made a bunch of fancy chocolate truffles more than once. The basic truffle can be rolled in all kinds of nuts and shit, so you get an assortment; the greatest expense is the packaging (pretty boxes, nice little paper shells to put them in).

Even if the recipient doesn't care for truffles (vegan, weight-loss dieter) they like the packaging, and they have something to share. And truffles are easy to make.
Depends on the db. Plenty make such aliases available for having & order by.

It only ended for people who don't care. If you aren't wearing a mask, there is still a chance that you're spreading it around to vulnerable people.

The vaccines reduce the chance that you get infected, but you can still get infected and spread it. The vaccines reduce the chance of hospitalization and death for most people, but not for everyone.

I have a theory that this is why the cloud is popular with big businesses.

Every big business has an in-house data centre, which is operated as a cost centre; success, for a cost centre, means delivering service as cheaply as possible. Providing an easy way for developers to spin up new databases? That would practically be an invitation to increase costs - it's the last thing they should be doing!

So when a developer from that big corporation uses AWS and encounters an environment that makes it easy for them to spin up a new database, it's a big productivity increase.
The virus also changes, typically towards less virulence in an inverse relationship with contagiousness, even if the name is the same and all variants reported as if cause for additional alarm. Tragically, the population also changes as people who have not died yet are statistically less at risk.
For those who don't know: other European countries have a similar state of COVID-19 policies, or worse (more discrimination between vaccinated and unvaccinated than The Netherlands). If you're properly vaccinated, it isn't a big nuisance to enter The Netherlands (or European Union for that matter) but ensure you do some research before you book (IMO you should get informed via your travel agency; it is their moral obligation to safely sent you in the right direction). If you're not vaccinated, get vaccinated, and ensure you read up on your limitations. If I were not vaccinated I would not even want to travel to a foreign country. Unless if I am sure I am immune due to recent infection.

Assuming he is guilty of not declaring 600K/year in income, he needs to go to jail and the US treats tax evasion very harshly. Second, he should be fired and not allowed to work in an academic or research role as he clearly isn’t trustworthy or ethical. No need to mix in a China espionage angle, the guy is bad news.

Really varies by implementation.

Snowflake supports it - https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/constructs/havin...

Redshift doesn’t: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_HAVING_clau...

Databricks doesn’t: https://docs.databricks.com/sql/language-manual/sql-ref-synt...

All of them do also support teradata’s QUALIFY clause which is like another layer over WHERE and HAVING that filters windowed data.
I don’t think it’s popular in the west though? It went through (still in?) an unusual phase where the target audience shifted to women and the protagonists became vaguely gay effeminate young men iirc
China has surpassed the US economically, it has made it clear it wants to dominate the technology space.

While we are in denial, it is clear even to naive Chinese that they are at war with the US when it comes to technology. The only upper hand that the US has over China is the decades of research expertise in core areas.

It looks like the professor was targeted to transfer this expertise to the Chinese. No different from flying a chief scientist from your competing company to help setup a lab like the original, IP at risk or not is irrelevant.
