This might depend on personal physiology - some people seem to have less of a negative effect.

One thing to try is the game "I Expect You to Die"

If I remember right, it was designed by people who focused explicitly on making a VR a pleasant experience. It's a game where you sit down (to match your character's position: sitting) and the camera never moves (the prime cause of motion sickness for many people). I loved the game and it was a great experience.

I am a hiring manager and I would find it creepy and mildly annoying. Most companies have formal application processes for a reason.
> There is nothing to redistribute when we all have nothing - and that is our initial state.

If the initial state is nothing, where, exactly, does the “capital” in capitalism come from?

> Then through capitalism value is created.

That is an amazing magical sentence. Capitalism creates value? How does it do that?
I mean... that seems fine? Taking a consumer product and making a business version of it feels like a totally ok way to grow a company that already has a stable product that people like. Them making new features you don't use doesn't mean they're going to break or diminish the stuff you do use.

Sure, they could mess it up, but any company or open source project can mess everything up.
Oh, sneaky!

Sometimes documentation can be redundant. Strip down an Anker USB cable and you'll find four coloured-coded wires: red, black, green and white. Presumably this helps during the assembly process, but it also makes repair work a breeze. UK and EU mains wiring is similarly colour coded. Software developers will joke about self-documenting code that's so clear it doesn't even need comments. Maybe this is the hardware equivalent?

The only axiom that holds true is a cable’s wiring is only how it probes out, and whether that is correct or not is an exercise for the engineer to determine.

- Top image search results for USB wiring show green and white flipped, and they are not wrong, because they often are. The standard is only between the connectors, the exact wiring doesn’t matter if it works.

- Cheap cables won’t have a black wire, they reuse the cable shield as ground return. Funnily enough, cheap cables also use a cheap shield bread which isn’t flex appropriate, so 95% this will fail first.

- Cheap products that come with their own appropriately cheap USB cable often take liberties with USB standards, such as actually using the connector shield as ground return and leave the ground pin disconnect, because they know their product does this internally. You will have a great day when you pull this cable out of your draw.
What Is Data Drift and How to Detect It in Computer Vision with MLOps?
When deploying computer vision models, it's important to frequently monitor its performance. If the data used to train your model changes or is out-of-date, its effectiveness might be affected, causing a data-drift.
Exactly. Once you raise a bunch of VC money you've sold your actual business to vampires. From now on it's grow at any cost. Add bloat, feature creep, unrelated projects, cost increases, and probably user data mining and sales on top of it. How was their rather expensive subscription fee and large subscriber base not sufficient to continue operating profitably?
Who has free intraday data going back years? So far the only one I've found is Dukascopy. OP's website doesn't seem to say whether it does or not.
Not only the users of Reddit are weird...

Could be possible though, basically like the old WoW gold farmers for ingame assets. But I assume that a large portion of the audience would reject such models, but it may attract others. For me personally it would kill the fun of playing video games.
You can also use Bubblewrap, but getting it up and running requires a lot more fiddling around. For example, this is what I use to isolate Zoom from the rest of my system: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/blob/0a0492c78b6...

In my case I'm using Bubblewrap because Firejail was only used for Zoom, and this felt a bit of a waste considering Bubblewrap was already installed.
Those trees are awesome! Look almost alien but also something I could imagine the dinosaurs eating.

It's amazing that some companies can still do that. But then you get things like L.L. Bean ending policies because assholes are buying at Goodwill and then sending them in to be refurbed for free.

After a recommendation on HN, I carry one of these on my keychain: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/... . Essentially indestructible, as everything is solid metal casing.

I agree, in most companies, software is an enabling function and not part of the core deliverable.
I have been lucky enough to have not encountered automated resume scanning nonsense, or maybe I got past the HR-bots and didn't know?

Anyways, I always felt that what helped me get jobs was my personal projects and extracurricular activities. Anyone can sit through a few classes and pass some tests (OK, maybe not everyone), but not everyone can prove that they can actually, y'know, DO stuff. I feel it shows a certain level of interest and knowledge that can set you apart from other recent grads.

> Splitting the email and password form across two screens.

This is done because it's an easier way to support both local login and SSO(like oauth or saml). By taking the username first you can determine whether to ask them for a password or send them to a sso provider.

It doesn't have to be implemented this way but it is seen as easier.
> that putting on the VR headset is akin to putting on a helmet and setting off on the track.

It depends on what your brain is used to. If you've never felt the acceleration, you don't know what you're missing. But I've done a lot of skiing in my life, and my brain will not accept VR skiing as the real thing. I feel queasy and have to stop.
Time to migrate.
I don't know if anybody uses Edge like me, but I feel like people should know that Edge with Authenticator works VERY WELL for password management. It is very close to feature parity with Lastpass and 1Password, it's cross platform, and it's free. After something like eight years, we dropped our subscription to LastPass.
Which is why the Quest 2 and Horizons Workrooms can track supported keyboards[0] and the next gen headsets will have full color passthrough. These problems are being recognized and solved as we speak.

I long hoped Apple would buy out 1Password and include it in their iCloud+ subscription.
The comparison to diabetes has one major flaw. You either have or don't have diabetes and the fact that you are tested for it does not change your diabetes status. You can only measure it, but your measurement won't alter the situation.

But by constantly reminding people of their racial category, a feedback loop is created. The more are people defined by their race, the more important will they consider their racial category. They will also start viewing more interactions through the race angle, especially the negative ones. Not "the policeman was rude because he is an asshole", but "the policeman was rude because I am of a different race from him".

I cannot imagine a scenario where constant race consciousness leads to people being less concerned about anything that can be construed as racially charged.
1Password has the cloud, so maybe a better comparison would be bitwarden, not free (to use their hosted service) but FLOSS. Everything else stands, though ;)
This is a fun idea. I tried the demo a few times. msft copilot solved them all immediately. This won't be effective keeping bots out, but it may be good for turning away non-technical humans.
Thanks! That's a good point, about re-using connections.

For my current use-case* that wouldn't be an issue, so CGI could probably be OK there, then!

Ask HN: Tips for Engineering Manager
I've recently started managing a very big team for the first time. I'm still trying to figure out a good model. Daily stand-ups? What to focus on in weekly meetings? How to make the most from retrospective? In a previous team I found the stand-ups very boring as it was mostly for the manager and not for us, as people on the team worked on different things.

Also, what's a typical path going from a team manager (EM1) to senior manager (EM2)? What are the things I should focus on to show I'm ready for managing managers? (I understand it can take a few years)
The organizers could put up posters comparing the amount of CO2 emitted by the "Burning Man" to the amount produced by an intercontinental flight, or with the number of "Burning Man equivalents" that are burnt each day in the Amazon rainforest - that would probably be an eye-opener for some.
"Burning Man is funky like SouthBy" is probably the most damning condemnation of today's Burning Man I've read.

As a parent, the idea of delegating my child’s attention to a third party, VC funded company seeking profit is extremely distasteful.

I don’t want my child to become accustomed to living with their activities being monitored (and presumably used to build a profile which outlines their preferences) in exchange for succeeding in their chores.

The dystopian in me sees this is a child’s gateway to joining the depersonalised workforce, trained that validation comes from completing their tasks and seeking the hollow reassurance of a gamified system.

I’m sure you have worked hard on your product but this is a horrifying end state.

> Ignored long enough, the lie becomes canon.

If you are an articulate original thinker, I think one is morally obligated to respond to rhetorical bullying. The more coarse the ideological reasoning, the greater the obligation. Poppers paraphrase about not tolerating intolerance is nothing but a zero sum first movers advantage game, and it isn't a principle so much as a cheap strategy designed to exploit collegiality and agreeableness.

The strategy of this current crop is incrementalism, where making absurd claims about small or distant things lets people think it doesn't matter because they're small or distant, when in fact, we've tolerated absurdity. It's a distraction theft, where your attention is focused on the small or distant thing, and you ignore that they have stepped into your domain and suddenly you have elevated a bully to an equal by arguing with them.

I'm very glad this article was posted, and I hope the minority of people with the intellectual torque to beat this nonsense are encouraged to lean in to more public discourse.
This is what the Rust Evangelism Strike Force™ told me and by God, I believe them.

It's worth mentioning that this is a client-side captcha, making it trivial to bypass by bots / anyone.
For some very rough context:

- Duo was acquired for $2.35B

- Ledger was valued at $1.5B

- Dashlane was valued at $1B

- Yubico was valued at $600M

- LastPass was acquired for $110M

- Trezor has an annual revenue of $5M

- Authy was acquired after receiving investments of $3.8M
Well, we're using dashlane for free right now and planning to pay for it (It's really cheap). I don't know what would be the use case for switching to this brand since now their focus will be to grow or die.

Android Studio, obviously when working on Android apps, which is my daily work.
It's pretty much the standard tool for doing Android development: dependency management, profiling, debugging, etc.

I used to be a big fan of Eclipse for anything, but now already replaced it with a lighter setup: neovim + CoC.
I did this, NAS to NAS as storage density improved, with rsync checksums on. Years into this I noticed a thumbnail that didn't render, found I couldn't open the original. Looked around, there were quite a few.

Ran a RAW + JPEG error detection script: on the order of 10^1 - 10^2 of photos were no longer valid out of on the order of 10^5 - 10^6 photos.

Turns out rsync verifies on the way, not after write.
This. Where is the nuance and slow thinking, folks?

I don't know much about much, but I do know that the far future of computing isn't going to involve people memorizing and typing complicated passwords, or using finicky password managers. There is massive potential for growth and vision in this space.
It’s actually not? The solution is sent to server and verified.
Certainty seems to be an entirely artificial state. Born of a combination of insulation from reality and assertion of arbitrary distinctions.

Truth becomes a mere videogame artifact, like loot-chests and magic swords.
My guess is they taste like chicken. After all, birds evolved from dinosaurs, and things like frog legs taste like chicken.
After watching How to Grow a Planet, I thought about this same question.

Considering flowers appeared to the end of the dinosaur era, there wouldn't be much to eat, except the dinosaurs themselves, and other animals (lots of sea food!).

It's interesting to read about these other plants.
There is some level of importance in bigness. All the major public resolvers let nameserver operators (well, anyone, really) clear cached records. Which turns out to be a not-uncommon occurrence. I wrote my own DNS server, so I've been paying a ton of attention to this stuff, and I've found several scenarios where website operators (even, for instance, instagram!) seem to have wanted to change some DNS records but weren't happy with the TTLs they'd advertised on them, and instead of waiting them out, just cleared caches with the major resolvers and then gone ahead and turned off the old IPs.

With the end result that I had to go in and remove those records from my cache, too.
> The author of the Scientific American piece is “an associate professor in the Family Health Care Nursing Department and a clinician-scientist at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco.” — hardly a political apparatchik.

Hardly Wilson's peer either, and the article shows this quite clearly.

> Some of the most outspoken criticisms of his work came from Richard C. Lewontin (a population geneticist) and Stephen Jay Gould (a paleontologist).

Yes, criticisms of the substance and inferences like any good scientist would focus on, not thinly veiled accusations of racism.
How the Complex Threat Landscape Complicates Attribution
Interesting. The only other thing that immediately comes to mind is that the web site owner may have blocked the entire country (https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170136-U...).

Big fan of KeePassXC (https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc).

Maybe they'll go the Keybase route and integrate some crypto?! (https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-stellar-launch)
The validity of an argument does not rest on the agency of the entity who made it. An argument put forward by a computer can be judged by its content just as much as an argument by some hypothetical entity with free will.

Your rejection on the basis of my claim that none of us have free will is logically unsound whether we have free will or not.

> Second absent free will, truth seeking has no more transcendent meaning or inherent value than a fly’s turd seeking. Love, wisdom, justice simply are, and are no better or worse than hate, ignorance or cruelty.

I agree with that. Nothing has any inherent meaning or value. The meaning or value in everything is merely the value we subjectively assign to it. That does not remove that value. The subjective experience is just as good or bad whether or not it's based on values we've merely assigned to it without any choice in the matter.

To me this notion that we need free will to value the feeling of freedom or the beauty of love, wisdom and justice is bizarre. The experience is the same whether or not the underlying choices are free or purely deterministic.

I'm a hard determinist, materialist, atheist, yet I spent a large portion of my youth writing goofy sentimental romantic poetry - the two are not in conflict; I can recognise love is a biochemical reaction following a chain of deterministic events and still feel it.
Lighting large fires when the lefty social pressure says that it is “bad” is in keeping with the burning man ethos. The lefty “man” keeps trying to control and bully everyone into meaningless virtue signaling and herd mentality. Defying that might actually return burning man back to its roots and make it interesting again. If the left wants to be the man, then they get burnt just like the right.

Burning man should be an equal opportunity middle finger to all who try to control.

Side note: willing to bet the total per person carbon released by burning man is quite low compared to other vacations most “eco conscious” attendees attend.

Webpacker Has Been Retired
Well Facebook attempts to stop AD-blockers by generating random gobbledygook classnames in the CSS of ADs so that uBlock Origin and others can't create rules for them, and this tactic actually works really well. So they would be doing the same with all their Oculus crap. They will try to thwart people messing with their code.

As someone who does hiring, I want to see a brief, personal, informal email.

If it feels like you’ve copied and pasted some mess of tech buzzwords and addressed it to “dear hiring manager” (I get this a lot), then it’s going straight in the bin. Ideally, I’d like to see:

Hi <my actual first name>,

I’m a junior developer trying to break into the industry. I studied x at y, and I’m super interested in <some specific technical thing>. I’m hard-working and I love to learn. Are you available for a chat about this?

What Would Mass Upzoning *Actually* Do to Property Values?

All very well but aren't these devices in most cases the cause of software that is too damned slow? What happens when devs with their 128GB RAM and 64GB graphics cards write things like MS Teams, Slack, Visual Studio, most other IDEs etc.? You get simple apps that take 10 seconds to start up on ordinary desktop machines.

As others have said, there are advantages to pushing people to use normal spec machines to remind them that most of the world don't have 10GbE or even 20Mb broadband but would still like apps to start quickly.
I don't think GP was trying to make a strawman, for me DCVS is a solved problem thanks to git, and all arguments I ever heard were basically people not wanting to put any effort into it and then pretending this is because 'git is too hard'.

These are pretty advanced issues which are worth solving, so I find these to be beautiful motivation. But I suspect most people are not aware some projects are trying to fix these issues.
It's a bit as if you are trying to solve some of Haskell flaw while most people are still stuck doing javascript...

The homepage is giving this motivation but it was not clear from the linked page, which is the point where the discussion in this thread is starting from.
Congrats on the milestone and good luck!

If you click the “your choices” button it takes you to the nothing-but-the-text version of the current article, which is usually far preferable anyway. In this case that is https://text.npr.org/1068930998

Not making it say “disagree” or “reject” seems a bit dark-pattern-y, and making a button captioned “your choices” dump you straight at the leave-it side of take-it-or- make it seem like a snarky punishment for even daring to prefer not to be stalked online, but at least the option exists.
The Genesis block very clearly referenced a bank bailout.
Agreed. And with Edge/Authenticator, it's cross-platform as well (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS), and as of recently, it's close to feature parity. We dropped our Lastpass subscription. It's probably families like ours that has 1Password worried.
We haven't launched yet, probably in a couple of weeks we'll be up an running. I'm new to HN so I'm still figuring it out. The landing page is liked on the post. Is there anything else I could do to make it better?
I like the scrolling banner on the side reminiscent of a news ticker being used for static data, it adds some vibrancy to the presentation. It might be nice to have more of the globe shown on the front, since it isn't "isgoogleanalyticsillegalintheEU". I really like the color scheme too, nice job!
