Displays are hardest to upgrade and provide one of the most critical aspects of usability. Maximise display capabilities if possible.

RAM is easily replaced and only gets cheaper with time. Buy with sufficient RAM, and max that out a few years in.

CPU overall tends to have fairly minimal impacts on overall performance within the range offered in a given set of options, and there's often a sharp uptick in price for a small performance boost at the higher end. I'll usually downgrade slightly for savings.

Storage can be replace readily over system life and often should be. Get what you need initially but plan on an update later. SSD or fusion drives are optimal.

Depending on your OS, WiFi reliability often precludes raw performance. For Linux, go with well-supported options. (I don't drive Windows.)

I've never put a premium on graphics performance. If it plays videos and displays xterms, it's good enough for me. YMMV. I prefer open source drivers.

Overall power draw and batterylife are also considerations, and again dropping from peak specs may actually deliver advantages here. Alternatively, you'll find yourself buying capabilities that neither your battery nor thermal management can deliver consistently.

Maxxing out spec is going to cost quite a bit. Buying last season's maxxed-out spec will often provide significan savings, as may buying this season's somewhat-below-peak specs per my guidelines above.

This is based on a few decades of not chasing performance extremes and with a fair tolerance of sufficient performance. Ironically it's raw Web browser performance that seems to be the most critical element of desktop satisfaction these days.
I don't think this is the case with unlockable NFT's, is it? You can copy the "box" so to speak, but you can't see what's inside if you don't own it.
LAPD Officers Ignore Robbery in Progress to Catch Snorlax in Pokémon Go
Who owns repo? The author has a right to package code, but he doesn't want have the right to use other people's platforms to distribute it. This is a lot like twitter bans isn't it?
“Here at Mozilla, we understand the importance of words. This is why we’ve decided to stop using the word ‘browser’ because of its implications of sexual harassment. Like it or not, the word brings up thoughts of perverse men scoping out prospective women as targets for harassment. We have also realized the offensive nature of the word ‘add-on’ as it implies an environment of inferior, dependent parts too akin to discrimination. Instead of having ‘add-ons’ for our ‘browsers’, we will replace all verbiage so that we will instead have ‘specialized modules of equal import’ for our ‘diverse and inclusive web interface applications’. On the topic of gender, we feel that this concept of binary language is one steeped in a bigoted history that invokes thoughts of discrimination against gender non-conforming individuals. While we can’t change the industry, at Mozilla we will commit to instead referring to this as the ‘non-binary’ language. We hope this simplifies things.”

Please don't do that. Besides, how do you feel about Dr. Robert Malone? Is he an authority enough for you?
Could this be used by someone to stop sharing any image or video of themselves they don’t like? Or does the tech enforce in some way that only NCII content is eligible? If so I’m curious how that works.

Metal Retrospective
Yep and I think it is super cool. More stories like that would do more to improve Lisp adaption than yet another “Lisp is great” article. Don’t make empty claims. Do something cool and then talk about it.
It seems as though you are targeting companies with your contact us for further information buttons. I'd like to find out how much this would cost to install in a home? Are you B2B only?
This law wouldn't exempt you from paying any impact fees that Davis charged to e.g. support additional school or water infrastructure.

I'll also note that the alternative to infill housing is single family home suburban sprawl, which is a lot more taxing infrastructure wise - apartment dwellers use less water, less electricity, and are less likely to own a car than suburban single family homeowners. Further the consequence of less homebuilding in California is more homebuilding in places like Texas, which are a lot less friendly for the environment.
If you price it for the college crowd, absolutely. The university keeps expanding, a lot of first-year housing is becoming triples, and then after the first year most students move off-campus.

Of course, any new construction won't be priced toward that crowd. But yes the demand could feasibly exist.
> Something I have to wonder is are women and minorities... ok with this?

I'm a woman, and I work in tech though not on tech (content marketing). Affirmative action infuriates me. Every time I get offered an institution-based opportunity, I have to wonder, is it actually me, or do they just want to juice the diversity numbers? I know that other people are wondering too, so it becomes important to demonstrate that I could have earned my way into the room. Luckily I'm pretty good at that, so I don't get questioned after opening my mouth.

This was one of the reasons why I stopped applying to speak at conferences — I realized that acceptance meant less about me than about the general applicant pool.
There is not a layer of nuance anymore. These guys have been consistently wrong on a daily/weekly basis for years at this point.

The situation is that anti vaxxers are assumed not to be automatically wrong, but to be noise. There is zero useful information to be had from engaging with them.

If they go against the scientific consensus it means nothing, if they don’t have an opinion on the scientific consensus, it means nothing, and if they agree with the scientific consensus it means nothing.

There’s this implicit assumption that everyone in a conversation deserves to have their opinion heard or examined, but these guys have burned every shred of credibility they have
Ask HN: Would you support government open source grants?
I was reading about 'faker' and 'colours' and thought solo authors of widely used libraries are decoupled from the influence of their libraries.

Could common open source dependencies be a (con)federal government responsibility?
The European Union does not have as large a software industry as the USA so there would be a less strong argument of government/corporate competition. It could take the form of government grants depending on the size. My rationale is that governments benefit from the general prosperity of open source more so than solo authors or small companies.

I am restricting the scope to simple and small libraries where investment is more clearly beneficial unlike Tensorflow as that is large and complex.

Here is an extreme example, the 'either' crate is a 'rayon' dependency and many others. Paradoxically a project of this size likely does not need funding but it is really important.

https://github.com/bluss/either

https://crates.io/crates/either/reverse_dependencies

With applications having so many dependencies, peculiar/'rogue' library changes are guaranteed.
Pedant time! "5-over-1" doesn't refer to five floors of residential over one floor of retail, but any configuration of timber stick construction (IBC Type 5) over a concrete podium (IBC Type 1). Thus, you can have a 5-over-1 that's only 4 stories, or a 5-over-1 that's all residential, etc.
Apologies in advance if I’m mistaken, but isn’t your Constitution supposed to protect your right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?”

How does one have life and liberty if they have a crushing burden of medical bills?

More simply, how does one have life if the medication needed to save you - is $750 a dose? or $300 an injection (and expiries with no refundable “core charge” whether you use it or not)?
Surely you have a mistaken factor of 1000 in there?
The sanction on North Korea and Iran where not applied retroactively, eg. US did not say before sanctions where applied that; all business who wired money yesterday to Iran broke the law, this would be illegal law.
X hours of HD/2k/4k video?
This is absolutely 100% correct. Perfect explanation for what I was unable to espouse.
The study was conducted in 2018, is the first and only one prior, was uncontrolled, only had 101 participants, a follow up of 64 days, and several negative outcomes.

I do stand corrected. One made it to human trials. Doesn't mitigate dozens of disastrous animal trials.

Spare me your shame.

Should someone inherit your project and end up fixing another bug in that part of the code they may be benefit from any information you share.

Shame is temporary, public repos are not.
There are a continuum of offerings in this space. Some have lots of custom control of the training pipeline and deployment, and on the other side, things like RoboFlow that try to make it easy / hide the complexity. We consider ourselves even further to the “hide complexity” side, since we try several deep networks automatically vs. making you choose, re-train automatically, abstract-away non-essential ML jargon, etc. In addition, we don't limit ourselves to only vision - we'd like to be the one stop shop for ML as a service. We also have developer-friendly pricing with quick and easy signup.

We benchmarked ourselves against Google AutoML and HuggingFace, looking at both user experience and model performance, and wrote it up in a blog post that may interest you: https://www.nyckel.com/blog/automl-benchmark-nyckel-google-h...
Our company’s Adsense account got blocked for no apparent reason, with no communication as to why for over a month - total radio silence. We eventually gave up and just created a new account.

The way I see it, any company that sells a service for money should be legally required to respond to their clients, and there should be an ombudsman to handle any complaints.

Nobody should have to resort to posting an ad in a paper to get support for a paid service.
Not by Davis law (quite the opposite!), nor by loophole: this is explicit intent of California law passed in the 90s to try to stop NIMBYism and increase housing production (though in the past it just gave NIMBYs a shield to hide behind by zoning things they knew would never get developed as high density so they could abide by the letter of the law and not the spirit, until it was revamped to take into account likelihood of redevelopment in high income areas in 2019). Davis's zoning is noncompliant with state housing allocations, and as punishment, they are legally required to accept any housing without regard to density or height limit that is 20% affordable _until they are compliant again_.

Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Palo Alto, Cupertino, and (my favorite) Atherton, will also soon see their housing limits invalidated as noncompliant, based on their current (bad-faith) plans they're trying to squeak by, and in _those_ markets, I guarantee you someone _will_ try to take advantage of it. Maybe not as skyscrapers, but as fourplexes, 10-plexes, and missing middle housing this state so desperately needs in affluent areas. As an example: Beverly Hills is now required to zone 3096 net-new housing units that are likely to be re-developed in the next 10 years. Last year they zoned... 4. Good luck fudging that!)

This is a return to market-based development, too, and not some government intervention: real estate developers still aren't going to build where it doesn't make sense to, but now they'll have some of the red tape artificially holding development back removed in places where it does make sense.
Be that as it may, I speak from experience, the label and logo help a lot with recruiting.
There's also another factor at play: in many states, the power of unions is quite weak. E.g. public-sector employees in NC cannot collectively bargain, which is why they're able to get away with paying teachers horrendous wages. Want to strike? Go on ahead, pay your sub for the day (or your contract will not be renewed) and go down to Raleigh, where the legislature will recess and most of them will literally just go home and ignore all the people with picket signs.

It's a lot harder to get behind unions when they can't really be very strong.
I've been remarking (to myself, mostly) about the touted detection rate using these test kits...

The process is rife with opportunities to bungle the test. At least in Canada:

1. The buffer must be added to the test vial, or exactly 10 drops, depending on which kit you get. Both sets of instructions are printed, and it's not apparent which one you should follow.

2. Swab. Two ways are indicated. If you don't go deep enough (and who would?), maybe the test doesn't work?

3. Place swab into buffer. Wait 2 minutes. Try not to forget it when you get distracted and make a cuppa or something.

4. Drop exactly three drops into the test well. Don't miss.

It's a wonder positives come back at all.
This was indeed the case for the early total artificial hearts implants (Jarvik-7), https://youtu.be/0Xn5u-LzsW8 is a nice short documentary about it
Total battery capacity. Tesla are know for not hiding battery capacity, and instead using UI to strongly hint you shouldn’t charge past 80% under normal usage.

The exception to this rule is cars sold with a lower capacity, where the battery is capacity is software locked. But that’s a market segmentation thing, not a battery protection thing. I also think there was only a short period where this happened on the Model S. These days Tesla has the scale where it’s more economical to have multiple battery versions for each capacity, than it is to reduce manufacturing complexity with fewer SKUs (and software lock the battery).
The state government is pretty explicitly anti-NIMBY / pro-density (relatively speaking) right now, so bad-faith attempts to restrict growth like that might not go over well.
Ok thank you for the clarification. Removed down-vote. That guy was slime and should always be remembered as such.
You casually provide nothing contradictory to what I have stated and have multiple times dismissed power gain in antennas, electronic amplifiers have electronic gain, antennas have gain not dependent on electronic amplification, gain is the correct word. With antennas it is power gain not voltage gain, but gain non the less, thank you for confirming GAIN is the correct term in the most ridiculous concession possible...WTF.
> Anyone who claims to have their identity figured out is either in denial or stopped digging into it for the time being. The rabbit hole truly never ends.

I agree with that part, but I also think that often giving a name isn't really about identity, but about having a shared space to communicate. For example, when I want to order something online, I have to give a delivery address. I may live here. I may not. It might be just a PO box, or the address of a friend. But, by giving this address, I'm saying "put what I want in a box, I'll handle it from here". I feel the same for names. It's not about expressing who I am deeply, it's about giving something to people that they can use.

Now, as usual, the correct answer here might be to not even ask for a name in the first place. Usually websites have my email address, and that's enough. They can put the information that they want to transmit to me in a box, and I'll take a look.
Thank you! Everything just clicked when we saw that XKCD strip.

Yes, you are right - 'includes X invocations' are per month.
The last photo of the man being affectionate with his young daughter is surprising to me. All my life, I've thought that men born before 1950, like my father, just didn't do that sort of thing. And yet here is a man born a hundred years earlier doing just that.
The clothing, especially the ladies', look so impractical and uncomfortable.
Typically this gets bounced back to the person who reported the bug and if they don’t care (and why should they if they moved on) then nobody does it.
Government programs optimize for people willing to fill out grant applications, and always mix in government vote buying objectives with supporting actually valuable things. Look at Canadian arts funding as an example. It will turn into a waste of taxpayer money that produces things that nobody wants. I would not support it
yes - thank you - edited the comment.
Minecraft mod that runs RISC-V Linux
List comprehensions were added to Python in version 2.0, which was released 21 years ago. That was about six years after Python 1.0 was released. Are you seriously pining for the simplicity of Python 1.x? (Most of the "outsiders" you're talking about were in elementary school at the time, I don't think they were reading a lot of Python!)
I think full_name or just name would be sufficient. And optionally allow given_name, middle_name, family_name if you really need it/want it for some purpose.

But for a lot of common use cases, there's really no need to separate first and last name in a database imo.

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. I know several Jews that I very much suspect would have a visceral reaction and not want the pig-based option, regardless of whether that's really what Jewish law requires.
I think there's a connection to be made between Conway's law, domain driven design, and building silos within an organization to reduce communication overhead between teams. Teams and project ownership should be structured so that teams have what they need to work on their own, with as little dependency on others as possible. The same thing goes for the services they're writing: data transfer and ownership within the domain is okay but should be minimized outside of it.
> Most people between age 7 and 16/17/18 can ride a bike, but not drive a car.

In most of the US 16-year-olds can get a full driver's license and drive a car on their own, assuming they have access to one. Most parents these days wouldn't let a 7-year-old travel far without a chaperone by any mode of transportation even if they are physically capable. (Lack of "safe" biking infrastructure is far from the only risk factor.) But yes, in the very short window in the early teens between not being trusted to be out on your own safely and acquiring a driver's license and car a bike can be more accessible when traveling solo or with others of similar age and maturity.

> Younger children can be a passenger on a bike.

One younger child can be a passenger on a bike, at the expense of extra effort on the part of the rider providing the propulsion. Perhaps two if they are both small. (Don't forget that you'll need to bring extra cargo as well—especially if the passenger(s) are very young.) Beyond that you're going to want a larger vehicle with its own power supply, unless your goal has more to do with riding bikes than getting to your destination.

> I'd say that maintaining 200+ projects is just insane really. You've overdone it. It is impossible to do any of them extremely well and of course you're just going to invite 200x more drama. Don't do that.

Yeah, I have to agree with this.

Please stop "sharing" projects by default. All you do is suck the oxygen out of the space for someone who might actually be willing to spend the time (Rust is particularly bad about this--I suspect it's carried over from Ruby).

No project in a space is better than a half-assed project in a space.
It would seem to me that if you were willing to perform a blood eagle on someone that it would not be beyond you to blow into their mouth with their nose pinched to animate the lungs of your victim.
If it uses a hash of an image, does that mean an edited image (eg cropped or resized) wouldn't be detected? Or is there a way to extend a single hash to multiple image variants? I imagine the answer is no, but I would also like to be optimistic and think even detecting the original version would stop a lot of NCII sharing (ie it's not a perfect solution, but still helpful).
Barcodeless scanner is a great example, this is something that major supermarkets are already rolling out as a complement to their self-serve checkouts.
They also seem to enjoy tipping their hats or lifting them momentarily as a greeting or hello.
> Apologies in advance if I’m mistaken, but isn’t your Constitution supposed to protect your right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?”

You are mistaken. But, that's okay, even many Americans get confused about attributes of the Declaration of Independence vs. the Articles of Confederation vs. the Constitution, and tend to misattribute things from the first two to the last one.
Ah yes, the "how many carbs can you eat in one sitting" standard American diet.

What were they suppposed to do? Of course they had to limp along for a bit, but it's been almost two years now and as far as I've heard (I don't have children), it's status quo where they aren't trying to force kids back into the classroom. Try to remember the first time you heard the term "distance learning." I think it's been at least 10 years for me.
> In fact, I also take issue with GitHub / Microsoft taking over the package and am very worried about the precedent that sets, regardless if their motives this time appear to be entirely selfless.

Is there more on this? This is the first I’ve heard about this npm package being modified which I would have just ignored as regular npm problems, but hearing that GitHub took over someone’s repo sounds crazy. Does their ToS claim to override copyright or something?
And note also that all the software that is needed to engineer those things is also not allowed to be sold to China, so that is also another thing they have to replicate. And by the time you catch up on the decades of R&D and trade secrets needed to catch up with where the software is at now, everything has evolved even further ahead. Keeping pace with semiconductor technology is a never ending treadmill of constant innovation.

Totally, but that trust has been long gone in the US.

1/2 the population stopped paying attention to Dr. Fauci after he lied about masks (understandably). Then we were told that that funerals were bad, but outdoor protests were ok. Then it was racist to even consider the virus came from a lab leak. Then Fauci claimed that technically, he didn't fund gain of function research (in the most scripted,PR speak possible). Then we were told that vaccines would allow us to go back to normal. The level of trust lost by major institutions in the US, both medical and media-based is astounding. Biden said he would end the virus, then he said that there is no federal policy to stop the virus. Trump was racist/xenophobic for closing boarders to China, but Biden closed boarders with South Africa and wasn't racist/xenophobic.

This isn't about politics, im double vaxxed and survived omicron. This is about a huge failure across the board, and I'm not sure how you turn it around. We need to change some of the political systems in the US. There needs to be term limits (in congress, supreme court, executive branch). The executive branch needs age limits, with a hard cut-off at like 65. The fact that the choice in 2020 was between septuagenarians is pathetic.

If you spent 1% of your time paying attention to anything called media, the gaslighting is obvious.
