Pivot and do tech for companies that have no idea about tech.

There are companies spending thousands of dollars on contractors who deliver suboptimal work. Hiring someone who can code/vet/manage contractors can save money. You could also do some work for city govts, my local village is paying $90k for a dev role, it isn't great but I have feeling it is a very cushy job. A friend of mine works for a major city as a project manager and his salary is $110k. He can go to the office and nap. Things move EXTREMELY slow. This would be great for me once I get older.

I work for non-tech manufacturing company and have freedom to use whatever stack I want. I work whenever I want. My boss tells me "no rush" all the time. They are used to contractors missing deadlines by YEARS. I can have a productive week and a crappy week, nobody cares.

You could also try to build some software for small to mid companies. They are a small fish for major software shops but for a solo dev can produce a nice income, even if you just maintain their stuff on a contract basis.
"sealed and graded"? Am I understanding this correctly... people buy video games still in the package and leave them in the package as collectibles like they do with toys?
They sort of do. https://os.gnome.org/
It's a bit discouraging that my thoughts fall immediately into suspicious. I can't help it.

Obviously we all want more safer and secure software, but in reality, I feel like vulnerabilities get worked on pretty fast... not sure if we need a saviour. On the other hand, it is good that big companies that do benefit from open source software actively contribute to make it better.

So yeah. Mixed bag of feelings as with everything.
"If you need a big-company license, reach out for a big-company license, and either don’t get a response, or get a clearly unfair, unreasonable, or discriminatory proposal, this is your fallback."

> Blockchain technology is purposefully burdensome and computationally distributed, making it notoriously energy intensive. Estimates put the energy used to create and trade a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin on a par with the total consumption of a country like Sweden. And that’s without accounting for the environmental footprint of the physical computer hardware.

Another critic who is willing to criticize without updating their knowledge as to the current state of the technology. Blockchain is not the same as proof-of-work. Yes, Bitcoin is energy-intensive, but other consensus algorithms do not use energy at nearly the same scale.
I was also surprised at this. Despite all the copyright claim controls, I was under the impression that YT was still the biggest source unauthorized music distribution.

This seems to me to be akin to bullying a mouse because bullying the elephant in the room isn't going to pan out.
You don't even have to squint to see that BNF description is a sum of products data type. With that, functions on those types write themselves and you're a type-check away from consistency.
One needs to be especially careful with adapting experience to interview questions. Unlike the candidate, you probably were already immersed in the problem domain for months or years and have good context in what techniques exist and are relevant to the problem domain.

One mistake some interviewers make is implicitly assuming that candidates can somehow conjure the same level of context from first principles, or that a specific algorithm might be familiar or reusable outside of its original context. Another mistake is "looks-like-me" bias.

For example, I happen to have a lot of context on a very specific algorithm that underlies basically every modern web framework but if I wanted to evaluate a candidate on web performance, I'd look at performance optimization as a open ended problem domain rather than drilling them on the particulars of this specific algorithm. In fact, out in the world of web framework performance, the most novel advancements come not from revisiting the algorithms but from looking at the problem domain from entirely new angles that had not even been considered before.
it's only "mingw" because it uses the mingw headers. It uses the microsoft modern C runtime (ucrt) and runs just fine under normal cmd.exe shell with c:/windows/formatted/paths, and does not require e.g. MSYS.
I wonder if this concept could (and perhaps should) be extended to be OAuth provider, that lets you in based on ability to control content under arbitrary URL. Maybe even standardized somehow by exposing meta tags in the HTML header.

Autoimmune issues, including those related to vaccines, are not well understood.

I looked into this when I saw that many people were having covid-like adverse reactions to the vaccines. The only thing I found was that when the immune system is activated that collateral damage is possible.
Why wouldn’t we decouple time from the earths orbit?

Instead have 2 calendars: the normal date time is standardised, no leap anything and simply increases. The orbital time tracks the earths revolution around the sun.

Sure, eventually the two will drift. But leap days account for 3 weeks-ish of time for the average person through out their life (let’s assume 80 years life span for arguments sake). So this doesn’t seem so hard to adjust to.
There are a few ways:

(1) Many people living in the US (myself included) would feel much relieved at their tax dollars not going toward bombing teenagers, weddings, or whatever other Enemy Combatants were yesterday identified with a High Degree of Certainty

(2) The money currently flowing toward said bombing could be repurposed toward general domestic social good, for example in housing, healthcare, or education

(3) Hard to overstate the whole "not continually murdering people on an industrial scale" thing but many people in the US are general humanists and would probably appreciate it
Camera cost is negligible compared to cost of a production. No one buys equipment to shoot a movie at that level too. Camera, albeit important, is also not the single most important factor in percieved image look; There's also glass, light, grip, production design, post. And ultimately and most importantly - knowing how to use all of that. On top of it, you cannot do it all alone. People that do (know) cost a lot more than any of the above and you need them, on average anywhere between 30-90 days without much sleep during principal photography, not to mention all of the prep and post work.

Tl;dr; it's about camera as software is about text editor.

This is a great point. Part of what I’ve liked about iPhone shot videos is sound and stabilization.

So maybe there are some of those aspects which dedicated cameras could do better without stepping up the resolution.
For starter, maybe the US doesn't need to be involved in both Ukraine, the middle East and Pacific at the same time don't you think? An army twice or thrice less big could easily fend off China's threat on Taiwan, but it cannot do so while threatening Iran and Russia at the same time…

> Do you think your computer chips (Apple M1, AMD Zen, etc. etc.) are going to be readily supplied from Taiwan under these conditions?

And how many computer do you think you're gonna make with those chips without all the other parts which overwhelmingly come from China?
The Sensors and in the future weapons on these ships would not be feasible on a much smaller ship. This is why even a modern frigate is the size of a destroyer from a few decades ago.

Also, the Zumwalt which is a larger ship overall has about half the crew of previous generation destroyers.
It's not D that auto-vectorize such expression, it's the backend. Those "array ops" makes it easier for the compiler to convey that to the backend, though. Using LDC + arrays ops is often the best thing you can do speed-wise.
This paper is based on a single patient. Normally, in any sort of health study, you want to work with a large population for statistical reasons. However, for many practical reasons (such a very rare event like this) you can't do that. While there are statistical techniques to deal with small n studies ("If nobody dies, did anything go wrong?" from Glantz's stats book), mainstream science never makes a strong assertion (as this paper does) of causality. My read of the paper does not find any evidence truly supporting their assertion, but this isn't really uncommon, doctors publish case reports like this all the time with the hope that they're the first person to actually report on a real problem (and hope all the other times they reported are conveniently ignored).

And, of course, as a truly honest scientist, I will say: it's entirely possible they did find a situation where it occurred. It may be that all my complaining is actually against a legitimate problem. But, to be honest, when all the data is evaluated holistically, it is unlikely that this is a major concern. And the real problem is that somebody is going to go share this with some website that publishes "COVID vaccine causes hepatitus" and then a whole bunch of people won't get vaccinated.
No I don't feel like I need one. I have some photos on personal web pages and a bunch of others in regular directories and I use gthumb sometimes for local viewing. I just don't understand the need for a separate hosted service for every type of file. Photos are files so photo backup is a subset of file backup as far as I can tell. Or do I need separate hosted services for backing up pdfs, C code, Python code, etc.? I'm satisfied with using rsync for everything.
Wait, what is an "amateur professional"? Isn't that an oxymoron
"condenser dryers" have a lint filter which is supposed to collect said microplastics. They also recycle the same air so any fibers not collected by the filter stay inside the machine.

However, despite all that, I still notice more lint in dust around my house in months I use the dryer. I suspect the dryer has a poor seal around the front and back of the drum (the seals are just made of felt, and as heavy clothes bounce around I think they briefly lose contact). That allows steamy linty air to leak into the body of the machine, and eventually escape out of cooling vents.
No, because it's an adversarial process where the jury has to choose between the two sides. On each particular, one side wins and the other loses. Their decisions matter.

But here's the thing: their decisions, ideally, should be made on the basis of the evidence presented to them, their judgement of the credibility of the witnesses, and the instructions of the judge in how to map the facts as they determine them, to the law as described to them.

We shouldn't be okay with a juror voting guilty because of the defendent's race; we shouldn't be okay with someone who says "I'm just going to flip a coin"; I'm not sure it's a bad thing to exclude people who, in the experience of the lawyers trying the case, don't pay attention and invent their own rationales out of whole cloth and make an irrational decision by the standards of the legal reasoning the trial is supposed to provide.

> Blockchain is not the same as proof-of-stake.

While this is also true, I'm pretty sure this should have been proof-of-work. PoS is actually one of the less energy intensive alternatives.
The only organisation there which really focuses on open source software is Apache.

All the rest specialise in proprietary software, and only do open source software as a side thing. They represent open source as much as the gas industry represents renewable energies.

The company Ethereum (that supports cryptocurrency as well as NFTs) has indicated it aims to cut energy use by more than 99 percent by changing its core methodology.

A situation that could be considered disastrous, i.e. poverty that would result from the western sanctions/isolation, the strife against the occupied Ukrainian nationalists, against internal dissent/opposition is beneficial to the silovik class -- more people to crush/imprison/destroy, more space to advance their careers, more power to wield, and it's them who Putin relies on to keep himself in power, not the populace at large. (The effectiveness of such approach has been demonstrated by the Lukashenko regime) For Putin it's also much easier to keep his power till his death in a locked down curfewed country, with all the possible freedoms taken away due to the great war with the eternal enemy that's going on. Think of North Korea. So I would say it's much more probable than 'doubtful' considering that the key players are likely going to gain, if their plans go smoothly that is.
>NFTs are comically bereft of anything we would associate with social or cultural value.

This subjective opinion is frequently trotted out to describe digital items that people pay money for. The arguments used in this piece can just as easily apply to video games or anything else.

There isn't anything new presented here, just one person railing against something they do not like using familiar arguments. IMO not the type of thought provoking content that people come to HN for.
Where Does Gravity Stop?
And whose fault is that? It's the parents and advisors that said "go to college and you'll get a good job" when they weren't cut out for it (or didn't even want to do it). It's the voters who pushed for students loans "to give all of our students a chance".

If you give people who aren't cut out to do something, a chance to do that thing, it's expected that more people will fail. We are now living with the predictable result of pushing unmotivated and uninterested kids to "just try it out", and handing them a credit card to do it with.

> How generalizable is this?

All the software is or will be open source, so much more than any other headset on the market. Ideally the FPGA code would be open source to, but I don't know if that's possible with licensed IPs

> Does it come with controllers?

No controllers.

> Can I hook in controllers from another system (vive, index, oculus, etc.)?

Any controller that's supported by OpenXR is supported, and we'll likely have SteamVR support as well.

> Can I play video games with this?

In tethered mode, absolutely. In standalone mode, only very light games, but might be doable.

> Can I stream a video feed from a real world camera (like with a raspberry pi) to the interior displays?

Yes. In fact, we'll have AR passthrough by default, but nothing's stopping you from using different cameras.

If you are not interested in the standalone capabilities, the headset without compute pack (i.e. tethered only) will be ~2k.
I think you probably mean proof-of-work which is the most energy intensive.

You can think of the parser as containing validation logic — it can parse the value into a more constrained type if it conforms to validation rules, or it can fail.

The point is that once your value is in a more principled type, the rest of the system is free from having to make assumptions (and guard against potential failures) about the breadth of that value's domain.

As the article mentions, this is really only relevant to languages with proper type systems like Haskell.
"An astrobiologist says non-fungible tokens do not bode well for our species’s future. " This is a historical subhead.
Which is the problem with your presented stat. "People with degrees make 40% more over their lifetimes on average" is useless because it tells us nothing about whether it's worth the capital expenditure. Just making more money isn't the point, having a better life is the point.

So it is very relevant, and your statement here is basically an admission that your 40% stat I keep seeing in these threads is equally irrelevant. "You can make more money and still be burdened" equates to "making more money won't necessarily make your life better." If that's true, what the hell is the point of going to college? To make 40% more?

If this DE has low resource usage and working freedesktop screensaver protocol implementation and idleness implementation but doesn't force me on their toolbar and window manage I'll take it immediately.

Lxqt is the closest to allowing that because it wraps standard tools when possible, but this wrapping of standard tools also means that those tools don't really work.

For example, I use slock for screenlocking, but there is actually no working third party freedesktop screensaver implementation that doesn't tie you into their DE.

Xsecurelock seems to have hacks for it, but it can't even do something as simple as just showing an image without breaking with the wrong window compositor.
I'm in the middle ground. I have a fuzzy idea of how to get it done and don't need help... but I have to search for the exact commands each time.
This is great! As someone who has dealt with After Effects (and Flash) this feels like a great stepping stone tool.

Looking at the output code, it seems like you could have an edit mode that displays the Animation History as numbered "dots" on the background to let someone click and move or remove a dot. Then you start to expose things like time between dots, and soon enough you've taught the basics of tweeting. :-)
Maybe a more interesting article would be the cameras and lenses used in the best short films and whatnot? Those tend to be done in a much more budget-friendly manner and in reality if you want to become a good film maker you will always start with shorts rather than full length films.
Here's a small one I encounter on a daily basis on Tumbleweed: the update notifications scrolling is broken. It scrolls the list of updates super slowly and goes back to the top when it reaches the end instead of just stopping.

Another small one: I've set the panel to auto-hide. It works fine for the most part but occasionally it will stay visible until I minimize and restore any window.
Ask HN: My coworker doesn't work. Does it make sense for me to say anything?
My coworker has barely worked for over a year now. No joke and no exaggeration. Every single day they seem to find a way to not do anything - either in some excuse or obfuscation. The worst part is that this person is a higher title than me and probably gets paid more than me.

My manager seems to be slightly aware of this but I'm not sure by how much exactly. It's obviously quite frustrating on many different levels. Is there any scenario in which this makes sense for me to mention something to my manager or should I just keep my mouth shut?
A studio-quality 35mm movie camera is roughly equivalent to 4K digital in terms of resolution. It is only 16 frames per second though so rapid motion is not as smooth.

True, but prestigious schools are playing games. For example, my alma mater is currently waiving the application fee for students they know will not get in simply so they can reject them. It is incredibly fucked up.
I'm as concerned as the next person about energy use, but I did read some counterpoints in an article published yesterday [1]

The House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee is reportedly going to investigate cryptocurrency’s effect on the environment...

But the meme that bitcoin or cryptocurrency uses as much power as one country or another, promoted by The New York Times last September, for example, deserves a bit of pushback on a couple of fronts.

Quite an interesting read. I wonder if the audio recordings exist anywhere.
I assume you mean in-game trinkets and costumes etc. rather than video games themselves?

The latter seems like a massive stretch, and I don't know why it wouldn't include films too.
Decentralized services need to be much faster and responsive than they are now, and if they would really work for this purpose, then they'll be shut down by some law - like how encrypted transmission is banned on ham radio frequencies[0].

I'm not understanding how "breakingFormation" provides access to other account data.

They tried it on their own account and were denied. AWS uses these crypto tokens, so it's request -> IAM signed -> Cloudformation -> S3.

Is there maybe a gap where if someone is using S3 a lot, the forward session token thing can be worked around (ie, the Cloudformation service WOULD still have a valid token for another accounts S3 bucket)?

The easy thing here is set up 2 accounts, and actually test it. Curious why they didn't do that.
I think it is fair to criticize this technology on the current state, any future improvements first have to prove themselves.
China has "hypersonic missiles" to kill our ships, because our ships can shoot down subsonic missiles and supersonic missiles.

China has no missile-defense platform. If we want to kill their ships, we'll just shoot much cheaper tomahawks (aka: subsonic missiles) at them.
I checked out OpenSea a few days ago to see what was selling. I went in with low expectations but I was still shocked. The hottest NFTs are all trash. It's a bunch of dumb ape doodles and piles of variations on the same few templates. Some of them are algorithmically generated.

It's just shockingly dumb, yet I have smart people I follow on Twitter and elsewhere who are convinced this is all world changing. I keep asking for people to point me to the evidence and it's never there. I've been asking for years.
Mutually assured destruction isn't assured to happen. Generals have always believed that sub-nuclear conflicts were possible. The current generally accepted theory is that MAD would come when one side's survival as a state is in danger, probably as a result of a chain of escalation.

In a potential Taiwan conflict, when would either side use nukes? China wouldn't use them unless they believe they can't successfully take Taiwan without them, but who would they use them against? Nuking Taiwan makes their newly-captured territory worthless, while nuking the US will start a chain of nuclear escalation that probably ends in MAD. The US wouldn't use nukes unless they believed that they couldn't defend Taiwan without nukes, but Taiwan and the US have been investing heavily (as evidenced by this new ship) in making Taiwan defensible, and besides that, Taiwan's value (like its cities, chip fabs, etc) are vulnerable enough that they can be destroyed without nukes. Neither side wants a nuclear war.
