Birddog has a great selection of dedicated NDI hardware that we found to be rock solid.

Indeed, we use three of the Flex 4K Out boxes to three projectors doing alpha blending to form a single virtual screen via ProPresenter and it works great!

Especially since someone donated an M1 Mac Mini, not realizing it only supported two traditional external monitors. With NDI we could have an external monitor for the operator display then let ProPresenter generate three virtual monitors via NDI. We can send differently formatted "screens" via NDI to our OBS computer for streaming too - different configurations of lower thirds for texts, full screen mirroring of the main presentation display - whatever we need. NDI really works a treat and I will NEVER go back to analog video again!

We also use the Birddog NDI PTZ cameras for streaming and some crude IMAG too - it's amazing how well NDI works.
Yes, but it was still right twice a day.
I’m not sure whether or not what you’re saying about jaw scientists (that a thing?) thinking they knew everything is true, but regardless, the fact that we are able to adapt to new discoveries and discuss them seems positive, not negative.

There’s a shit ton we don’t know or get wrong, but you gotta start some where.
>There are companies that aren't particularly evil at all, like the ones working on carbon capture tech.

Does a company's product or service determine whether they're evil or not evil? What if the carbon capture tech company builds something great for the environment, but has dependencies on a supplier that uses exploited labor in the developing world? What if that same carbon capture company has a "significant" wage gap between the average employee and the executive level?

It's interesting you pointed out that Facebook is evil, but by default, a carbon capture company couldn't possibly be evil "at all".

And that speaks to my point – your definition of evil is based on your set of beliefs, which I'll simply refer to as your politics. It's not necessarily "objective", no matter how hard you believe it is.

>The logical conclusion of your comment is that all companies are equally harmful (or that any attempt at distinguishing between them is pointless), which is blatantly untrue.

No, that's actually not what I'm saying at all.
1. There are thousands of articles, studies, tweets, blog posts, and essays that explain all of this to you. If you were sincerely interested in educating yourself on this topic, you easily could be.

2. Covid can spread asymptomatically. Again, if you were sincerely interested in understanding this topic, you would know that extremely basic fact.

3. You have no way to know whether you were exposed to someone with Covid or not, unless you are never around other people. If you're never around other people, masks are a moot point, anyway.

4. We have been forced to wear (sometimes uncomfortable) clothing in public places due to fear for a long time. Women can't go into restaurants topless, even if it's not a city law. Fear-based or not, you don't get to decide whether you wear a mask on private land.
This is absurd. Cancer is diagnosed incredibly late far too often. If we would dedicate capacity to screen much more often and much earlier we would be far better off and many more people would survive.

The main issue with universal screening is cost. Medicine is far too expensive and now we need to divide up a scarce resource. The 2nd issue is subclinical cancers that would not kill you before you die of something else. But we don't spend much time on the 2nd issue because we don't screen as much as we could if we made healthcare cheaper.
Magnetic-Confinement Fusion Without the Magnets
Put yourself in your daughter’s booties: what would you want from your parents? Probably love, kindness and support: so, ask yourself, what’s your best expression of love, kindness and support? For some parents, rigidly following a plan is that, for others, a free-wheeling “what feels right today?” approach is best.

Ultimately, you answer only to your daughter and not a doctor or a parent group or a 1000 week
Plan. The only thing I begrudge my parents for is being miserable through my childhood, because children soak up their atmosphere.
There is no guarantee the work arounds will continue to work and it's asinine to have to rely on a playback card - which doesn't work on the M1 Mac's anyway.
I massively improved my handwriting with near daily practice for a few months. Just the alphabet and various words (stuck with print, not script, so limited need to practice hard letter sequences). Pretty much just filled legal pads with letters and some words until my handwriting was to a level I was happy with.
Even before social media got big, corporatization and consolidation had killed what made the 90s Internet so special. The reasons the corporate template started to rule the Internet in place of personal hobby websites are the same things that make Western society in general less vibrant. People want to participate, but everything is complex and they don't have enough time to be experts at everything (as with car maintenance, right-to-repair, and disposable/smart appliances that most people don't like); the threat of bad actors makes non-template sites dangerous or perceived as dangerous (as with letting kids go play outside); efficient template makers eat everybody else's lunch (as with franchise restaurants and soulless big-box stores); and when exhausted people are a captive audience, manipulative people with money can farm their attention (as with offline politics and advertising, and TV). The problem isn't new and it isn't really about group-think; it just caught up with the power of the Internet.
No because there isn't evidence myocarditis occurs due to the vaccine acting systemically and getting uptaken by cardiac tissue.
My UP2715K broke recently, and I thought, well, 4k can't be that bad, there's almost no 5k monitors so perhaps the difference isn't that big of a deal. So I bought Dell's UP2720Q. Brilliant colors, can't complain at all on that point, but text is noticably blurry compared to what I'm used to. This is such a bummer
Perhaps some cases, but the increase in bleach related poisonings was associated with accidental consumption by young children after parents started sanitizing surfaces more early in the pandemic.
By wasting their time, they can't spend as much time murdering other people. Maybe you know your next door neighbor is running an underground railroad, and you want to distract from that.
I think it depends on whether Fred continued to find opportunities for growth during his long stay.

If he can describe how he was meeting his career goals while also staying in the same position for nine years, then there's no reason to avoid him.

But if he spent the last six years stagnating, it might be worth giving extra scrutiny to how up-to-date his skillset is.
Show HN: I built a startup in 3 mins
My idea is to give a home for creators to find jobs without swarming into the pool of various job postings out there. So, I began coding a full-stack web app but wait, there is another way I can do it in just 3 mins.

Here it is: https://twitter.com/jobs4creators

Yes, a Twitter profile. Twitter got everything a job board needs. It gives a domain, hosting, messaging service, instant update, etc. So why bother building an app?

It's simple for creators to access job openings too. I just went with it. The kind of jobs postings I expect here are content creators, copywriters, marketers, video makers, designers, etc.

And I highly expect your feedback on this. Feel free to roast :P
Omicron is so unbelievably transmissible that I'm not sure these tests would have changed much. Maybe it would have bought us a few days. The holidays were always going to see a huge spike because people will take huge risks to see their families and maintain traditions.
I've read them multiple times over my life, but slowly (like a chapter or two a day). This year I'm trying to read them all within the year, which has me reading a lot more than in the past.

Seems like individual verses hit harder when reading slow, but the larger narrative hits harder when plowing through the books quickly.
Just slap a viewport tag in the head of that bad boy and call it a day :)
The vast majority of magnetometers are a variation on coil magnetometers. And no, rotating coil magnetometer aren't the only ones.

Quantum radar is not affected by the sun, it doesn't operate in the same wavelength. As for how far we are at decoherence issues, neither of us can know. The state of the art is assuredly massively classified.
I once saw a picture of "how to make crystals" on a website. It showed several household chemicals you were instructed to add to a container then drop in a copper penny. Next it instructed you to take a straw and blow into the liquid repeatedly. It actually seemed like something you could do had I not know the site and questioned it. I looked up the chemicals and forget what type of toxic gas it created but I could only imagine a young child finding that kind of stuff and not realizing it was a morbid joke and falling for it. The internet has many dangers and parents should be aware of it before letting their child have access to it in any form.
If everyone on the street did it it would cause significant problems for the government.
This was an incredibly broad ranging episode though I think Balaji throws out a lot of ideas with an unwarranted level of certainty. The parallel of historical centralization-decentralization-recentralization cycles (ie the Protestant reformation-Catholic counterreformation) to the internet was pretty interesting.
That last part is only true if the fundamental feature set meets some minimum requirement for whatever they're trying to do. All these companies competing on polish have confused the issue (perhaps because meeting that minimum is often quite easy).
> It's unclear what else you'd actually want, unless you want to build a clone of the actual satellite (it wouldn't surprise me that a majority of the software for the satellite is open source, just not put together somewhere publicly for people to download).

Much satellite technology is classified or at least export controlled (ITAR). The major difference between a space telescope and a spy satellite is which direction you point.
That is also something Cisco gets rightest.

hostname# _

hostname# sho run

This is all it takes to backup ALL config. Also a short form of “show running-config”. If you follow best practices and take logs of all ssh connection it’s naturally there a second after.

Restoring? Just paste it on HyperTerminal. Cisco sues anyone who dares to replicate this exact behavior(e.g. Huawei-3Com), but similar commands exist for most professional network equipment such as Vyatta/VyOS’ `show configuration commands`.
Because getting someone on the phone is a necessary stop along the path to closing a deal. It's also a high bandwidth form of communication, so it's just plain practical.

Would you buy a car with no return policy without speaking to someone or examining it in person? How about spend $200K on a software bundle? Face to face meetings matter for large size deals, and recruiting a candidate is a huge one.
In a previous project I needed to customize the look of the "drag ghost", so I set up a global state for <thing being dragged>, and used requestAnimationFrame to move the ghost around with the cursor. Drop-enabled elements would then listen for mouseup and check to see if something was being dragged. Lots of weird edge cases (what if the user moves the cursor off-screen?), so now I recommend using a library like React DnD or Dragula.
Advertisers don't want to appear on videos about suicide, drugs, other topics. It's either a list their ad agency provides or one YouTube has.

The YouTubers also used to avoid the words COVID and pandemic but I think that calmed down a bit due to the sheer quantity of content that mentioned it.
A lot of the comments here seem to be missing the point and presumably come from people that didn't actually install the program and try it out, or hell even read the README.

This thing is extremely minimalist. A little bit silly to be talking about adding Markdown, antispam or privacy support when it uses $EDITOR for viewing/authoring posts, and the DB is world writeable...

Personally I think this is a lot of fun, it's the first project that has actually motivated me to install IPFS (which I thought would be much harder). It is in the vein of something like SDF where the retro interface might attract the right kind of people. I hope the author keeps working on it and if I knew Go I might contribute :)
True, but why are the results so poor for < 50 year-olds and what does that mean? [0]

It seems like we as society should be tackling that problem and part of tackling that problem seems like getting more scans of denser breasts so we can develop better techniques for detecting cancer within them. Restricting access by age makes it so that we are optimizing detection for later age. Something has to change in our current approach to help figure that part of the problem out, perhaps loosening restrictions should be one such change.

In the case of a false positive, a test is not merely useless, but actively harmful.

Having said that, imposing an age restriction on at-home Mammogram testing kits would mitigate the problem. However, Mammograms are probably not the best choice for at-home testing given that they involve X-rays!
I think there's a market for a startup that employs human currators.
Are you going to go work a job without ever talking face to face with someone there?

If not, then getting you on the phone is an absolute necessity along the path to you accepting an offer. It's also practical for covering items like salary expectations, how serious you are about job hunting, outlining the role, etc.
There's a lot that is 100% provable snake oil. For 2 particularly egregious examples, see https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvme-ssd-for-audiophiles and https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ethernet-switch-for-audiop....
What is the benefit of forcing the stupid dot on ALL displays?!?

How is offering an option for it to ONLY be visible when the menu bar is also visible compromising the notification in any way?

There are software solutions like NDI that the hardware solution doesn't fix and why should I have to buy hardware to fix a problem that should have never existed in the first place?

It's asinine and really not that complicated - don't show UI shit on displays that aren't showing the menu bar. There is always one display that must have a menu bar - show crap like this there and only there.
"Necessity" is not the opposite of "luxury."
Always thought the "L" was for Lyft, but I suppose LinkedIn works too.
I have, using Handwriting Repair by Briem. It was less work than I expected, and my handwriting looks pretty cool now. Even if you don't adopt the italic style advocated by the book, the other advice is still generally useful. I printed out the tracing page and did that a few times a day for a few days to get familiar with it. After that, it took a while, but it eventually became natural to write that way. The italic style helps with writing fast.

Interesting; we went the other way with our doctor: only telling us metrics that we need worry about (there were none) like height/weight too high or low for the age etc.

Instead we just focused on having fun together.
India doesn't feature in the table in their article. It is not represented in their sources, the World Mortality Database[0], or the Human Mortality Database[1]. Yet they somehow estimated that India had 2.3 million excess deaths. Based on what, exactly?

Look for penmanship manuals, there are many out there online. They will be full of instructions and exercises.

Calligraphy manuals may be interesting too but that is somewhat more decorative.
According to the wiki link above, the bands are similarly sized and adjacent, so this wouldn't have much to do with "physics". Perhaps the "near" bands are just more congested?
That is the same age group that is at lowest risk from the actual virus, though - the cost:benefit for that demographic is the most interesting.

(I am an under 30yo male who is fully vaccinated, just to be clear)
Could also be an aberration caused by the generally poor hiring practices used by these software companies. I have no idea what the talent pool actually looks like for these two industries.

I have noticed there appears to be a huge divide between the FAANG'ers and the FAANG'nots from my perspective. The smaller companies in the area, all generally know each other. Similar to your experience
Well that just sounds like that particular recruiter had some operational issues. Although she got you on the phone and got you to agree to a meeting so she was doing something right. At any rate, she should have just used a Calendly link or something. But there are many reasons why introductory phone calls (screens) are very necessary.
The only way to properly replicate a CS paper is to re-implement the code from scratch. Simply running someone's code again is most likely just going to give you the same buggy output they got (or just as likely a bunch of unrelated compile errors). But frequently, that isn't even what you want. Many CS papers are of the form "we were able to build software that does XYZ using this design", which isn't really a falsifiable statement in the first place. It just serves to give future researchers and practitioners data points they can use when building their own software

I absolutely agree a/some phone calls are necessary at some point in the recruiting process between recruiter and candidate.

But a lot of recruiters insist on nearly every single communication be over the phone when an e-mail or text exchange would suffice. In fact they'll leave a text or e-mail with no content other than "yeah, so when can we talk on the phone?"
This is 100% accurate
The only time I was ever able to connect with anything close to a 56k connection was when my phone lines were upgraded to support ISDN and I’d have to make an old-school modem to modem call.
use any professional audio interfaces like DANTE? Just activating DANTE causes the stupid orange dot to show, even if you are only sending audio OUT from your Mac to, say, a digital mixing board.

There is ZERO reason to force the dot on every display. Restrict it to the display(s) also showing the menu bar and this becomes a non-issue. I can't believe anyone involved in this at Apple thought this was a remotely reasonable thing to do!
How do they compare to shale?
Fascinating piece of machinery, but have to wonder why the article doesn't state whether it tells the correct time or not.
All you need to do is be there and love your kid.
It's not self-correcting, though, just powered by energy harvesting from atmospheric pressure changes.

The Clock of the Long Now was supposed to be self-correcting. There's a mirror setup to focus the sun on some part which expands and provides a correction input.

That project is decades behind schedule, although Bezos is now having one built for him on land he owns.
When I built a turkey coop this past spring, plywood price was at its peak, so I decided I'd side and roof it with 18-gauge steel. It was quick, easy, looks great, and has proven itself weather-tight. I love working with wood, but I have to say the ease, cost, and looks of the steel have converted me for this purpose.

Free labour should be quite profitable. Something is going wrong if people aren't noticing the potential profitability of their children.
To make this a true competition, all winning cables must pass in-spec continuity checks.
It's almost a tautology, but one that is adjacent to deep truths. We don't understand how consciousness emerges, so we can't explain how some relatively simple molecules temporarily suspend it.

We know a lot about local interactions, but the big picture isn't there yet. More, as you well know, is different.
A lot of recruiters don't get paid when you sign, they get paid when you've spent something like 90+ days in the role to avoid that exact problem and align incentives a bit better.
As other commenters have pointed out, putting a penny across the prongs of a half-plugged-in phone charger will probably kill less than 1% of the kids who try it. In many cases it won't shock you at all, depending on exactly how you manipulate the penny, just make a big spark and trip the circuit breaker. In the cases where it does shock you, it usually won't be a dangerous shock, just a really nasty sensation in your hand.

In some cases, it will be fatal, either because your circuit breaker fails and you get a fireball, or because you manage to touch the penny to the live prong while standing barefoot on wet concrete or something. So making this suggestion to a lot of kids will probably kill a number of people. But, if you wanted to kill somebody, tricking them into trying this wouldn't be the way to do it.
I would ignore milestones and focus on helping them and you be in the "flow" as much as possible while physically together, and do your best to help to remove blockers as they present themselves. Just like you can't realistically estimate any engineering project, focusing on strict milestone delivery dates is focusing on the wrong part of the human development lifecycle.
We’ve had one of the Atmos clocks mentioned in the article at our father’s house for years. It counts up to the year 3000, but I imagine it will need to be serviced a few times before then.
No, the issue with universal screening is that many screenings return positive results but the patient never develops cancer. In the case of some cancer treatments, like prostate cancer, the treatment is invasive and life-alerting on its own.

Further, some screening methods involve radiation exposure, and in large population groups, the effects of that additional radiation starts to have a significant effect and may overtake the delta between "screen who we estimate needs it" and "screen everyone", which means you've given cancer to more people, looking for cancer.

Wrist injuries are a pain in the ass to x-ray looking for broken bones, but CT scans are very reliable. But...CT scans involve a _fuckton_ more x-ray exposure. They're also more time consuming, use much more expensive equipment, generate a lot more data, and require more work to analyze. So generally, ERs continue to use x-rays to check for broken wrist bones.

Also, since you replied to a comment about breast cancer: breast cancer is among the most diagnosed, most successfully treated, and most survivable cancers. There is no scientific basis for easing or promoting more breast cancer screenings.
It’s a hangover from the baller era. Many devs and systems folks with more than 10 yoe likely had a negative experience with a proprietary licensed Microsoft enterprise product which required RDP to administer.
That's interesting. I was actually just guessing that Apple is not data driven.

I would be grateful if you can share Apples general approach to product development.
Oddly, advertisers don't seem bothered that their brands are on videos where the creator says "Roll 1 twenty-sided unalive," with a massive eye-roll. I go out of my way to steer clear of the stuff that I see advertised on YouTube.
Yahoo started as a curated list, and DMOZ vetted and categorized everything. Those indexes are now defunct.
