Sometimes I wonder if the way to bypass the insane regulations around medical devices is to just publish them online for anyone to build themselves.

Sure I won't have the minutes detail of million dollar medical equipment, but maybe I don't need all that precision, or maybe that's better than having no access at all to the measurements at all
I'm generally able to adapt to new languages and technologies relatively quickly. I'm able to build at least simple applications from scratch and have at least basic understanding of all the component parts and how they fit together. I'm generally able to measure the benefits and drawbacks of individual pieces of technology and where to make certain tradeoffs when architecting an application.

Now, I still have a lot to learn and I'm sure I can't do the above tasks anywhere near as well as an experienced Sr. Developer, but based on others anecdotal experience at least this doesn't seem to be common in many Jr. devs
I use a 5-3-1 todo strategy every day: 5 easy things, 3 medium things, 1 hard thing. I didn't invent it, but it works well for me.

Anything that didn't get done the day before gets escalated a category the next day. That thing I though of being as medium todo but didn't get done? It's obviously belonging in the 'hard' category.

One of my easy tasks is always 'make tomorrows list'. So, it's a perpetual motion machine.
Maybe a bit off-topic but, I feel like variable, merit-based compensation makes for a better service. I work in finance, although not in the US, end of the year bonuses more often than not effectively doubles your total comp, even for software engineers. Your bonus is, of course, very much tied to your performance reviews.

This has created a certain type of "carrot-chasing" culture. Granted, sometimes it can be toxic and is not for everyone, but most of my co-workers are extremely hard-working, focused and willing to go out of their way to help you
I am starting to think they are taking on too many projects.

Please finish the ones you already started first

Edit: very interested I the watch thought. Specially with the native gadgetbridge support
Facebook was a straight rename to Meta, no parent company or anything.
Violence Is a Contagious Disease
You’re talking about a very very small subset of developers. Those that (likely) went to a top US college, are in SF and got snapped up by a FAANG.

The other 95% of developers globally never get that experience. Don’t be upset with what you have just because of the skewed crowd on here.

If you’d like to try for that then do some leetcode practice and apply, but I wouldn’t be setting expectations high as it’s very difficult to succeed. Might be worth putting up a portfolio on GitHub or somewhere too.
Yeah, that would be something we'd want to do long-scale simulation tests of before setting sail. Build a simulated spaceship, probably in orbit for maximum accuracy, and see how everything holds up.

Tbh I'd be more concerned about the humans cracking psychologically before the fungus dying. They are hardy buggers.
SFTP does not use FTP. It is an independent design.
Once as expensive is a number, it's 1 x the cost. Twice as expensive is 2x the cost. Once as cheap might arguably be 1x the cost, but twice as cheap is undefined.
I thought they were talking about anti-antiwork astroturfers. Which would have actually made sense.
Absolutely love the work system76 is doing. My only regret is that I run pop on a Razer rather than one of their machines. Hopefully they get their in-house laptops up and running soon :)
A dependent type is a function from a value to a type - where a value is a runtime value, not a compile time constant.

Can you do 'MyType<n> foo(int n) {...}' ?
>Is it finally the year of Linux on the desktop?

Considering that the hope behind this term was about winning the desktop user share from Windows, and not just "being usable" on the desktop, or "being used" on the desktop, no.
The movie War Dogs was based on a few kids that somehow pulled it off. I think a lot has changed since... but still would be interested to learn more.
VW is a bad example because their EV lineup is full of horribly inefficient cars with pathological infotainment systems. And, from the looks of them, it seems like the bespoke EV platform is a vague rehash of an existing ICE platform given how the extra space an EV platform could allow for isn't being utilized.

Have no illusions though, I wouldn't buy a tesla either.
Me too, and that's an important point ... but for the photos I put on my website and still look at later, the proportion is more like 50%.
> Maybe there's a pause in development of new scientific knowledge

Isn't that exactly what the "dumb graph" you link to is showing? The y-axis is labelled scientific "advancement", not knowledge.

Whether you liked tesla or not, they been on a constant attack by traditional media. Every single miss do of tesla is amplified 1000 times, like their stocks.
BMW recalled almost 1 millions cars due to risk of fire? Put on youtube "BMW on Fire" they still catching on fire. My friend jumped out of the BMW car in 3 rd lane of 6 lane highway, almost died. Did you see any bad press about it?

So basically tesla had two ways, try to buy more of this media, or don't feed the troll.
I think it's smart to just ignore corruption.
Yeah what’s up with that, it wasn’t like that mere weeks ago.
Video streaming consumes dramatically more bandwidth than the HTML/CSS/JS/JPEG/etc files which Cloudflare's CDN is intended to serve. Bandwidth is cheap, especially for Cloudflare, but it's not free. Cloudflare's base pricing, and especially their allowance for free accounts, does not account for such large bandwidth consumption.

Cloudflare does have a product specifically designed to stream video. It is priced accordingly.
It wasn't even just that dealership, it was every Model 3 shipped during a certain time period. Back when it was happening, there were posts about it on the Tesla subreddit. Nobody was told their car wasn't going to have the features they paid for, and Tesla blamed it on the chip shortage and said they'd install the missing features once they had the supplies.
Vnc works for the basic use case of viewing a remote screen. It’s a mess for interactive use, especially with the default implementations you can find on Linux imo. macOS’s built in screen sharing is the only vnc server/client combo that has acceptable latency but even it fails to support basic features like dynamic resolution for different clients.

And I agree that SSH is definitely far more common; I of course use SSH but there are lots of reasons why an interactive desktop is either required, or just far more convenient.
If I had to guess I'd say it's because it completes with their video streaming service[0].

But this is a critical missing part. Safety too. When Ford or Toyota are missing critical parts, they don't sell the car.
I used local forwarding for years before learning about remote forwarding, which is useful for creating your own self-hosted ngrok-like service. A good number of the solutions on this list are based on SSH remote forwarding:

Why the volcanic eruption in Tonga was so violent, and what to expect next
Driven by the fact that using comparative adjectives in this context seems to be at best confusing, I thought I'd play around with some numbers to see if I could understand what the author was trying to convey.

First, it's important to clarify why comparative adjectives don't work here. Look at the following sentence.

- A $5 cookie is worth twice as much as a $2.50 cookie

Here, we establish the baseline (the $2.50 cookie), and express how much better the $5 cookie is.

We could also say the inverse:

- A $2.50 cookie is worth half as much as a $5 cookie.

What we can't do is the following:

- A $5 cookie is double more expensive than a $2.50 cookie.

We can make a statement (the cookie is more expensive), or share the factor by establishing the baseline (twice as expensive as), but not both at the same time.

The author tries to say 440% cheaper, (not mentioning storage or transfer) and I believe their logic was something along the lines of the below:

- 440% = 440/100

- Cheaper = Reciprocal of More expensive

- 440% cheaper = 1 / (440/100) = 100/440

- S3 is very difficult to estimate a 'per GB price' because it depends on where the data is being transferred to, various pricing tiers (S3, S3 intelligent, 'Glacier', 'infrequent access', 'One Zone', first 100GB free, egress through Cloudfront, and HTTP verb specifics). Fortunately, they have an estimate calculator, which gave me 9 USD for 100GB transferred out to the internet, or 0.09USD/GB for transfer.

- Storage is a different proposition, with Amazon telling me it'll cost 2.30 USD for 100GB as long as I never look at it (ie: 0.023USD/GB)

- Backblaze is much easier to reckon with, with $0.005/GB for storage, and $0.01
for transfer.

- Therefore, for transfer Amazon's 0.09 * (100/440) = 0.02, which is MORE than Backblaze would charge me.

- For storage, Amazon's 0.023 * (100/440) is indeed 0.005.

So, Backblaze does indeed seem to be [440%, reciprocal of more expensive] as Amazon for storage cost alone.
Yeah because of the labor bargaining position, the great resignation, etc., it's their moment.
My Canon EOS 550D has a "maximum auto ISO" setting that lets me pick anything from 400 up.

For starters, consult the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cameras_which_provide_... . Most photographers I talked to have the opposite stance as you - they care about grouping photos by event (vacation, portrait session, hiking, etc.) but don't care about the exact street. As you are in the minority, I can see why the cameras are not reliably released with geotagging features.

I've used several cameras with geotagging capabilities and I'd like to describe their quirks:

* Canon EOS 6D: Built-in GPS receiver. Drains a lot of battery, especially if you set the update interval very short (1 second, 10, 60, etc.). Takes unreasonably long to first acquire location (easily 2~10 minutes). The weak receiver struggles with urban canyons and airplane windows - phones have much better receivers. Sometimes calculates completely wrong coordinates that are ~10 km away. As a result, some photos don't have geotags (slow acquisition) and some are wrong. But the extra transfer step is mildly annoying.

* Canon EOS M6: Make sure camera has the correct time set (can't be off by hours and days). Run the "Canon Camera Connect" phone app and enable continuous location logging. After shooting (e.g. end of day), use Wi-Fi to connect phone and camera, and use the app to apply geotags onto the photos after the fact. My phone is extremely accurate (GPS+GLONASS) and supports indoor geolocation through Wi-Fi, so essentially 100% of photos get tagged and mistagging is rare.

* Canon EOS RP: Use Bluetooth to pair the camera with the phone. Must run the "Canon Camera Connect" phone app in the background while shooting. Periodically check that the phone OS didn't evict the app due to inactivity, quite annoyingly. Every time you turn on the camera, wait 2~10 seconds for it to connect to the phone, and then you'll get geolocation data at the time of shooting. If the connection failed for whatever reason, you cannot go back and add geotags to photos after the fact.

Even though the Canon app can connect to all 3 aforementioned cameras over Wi-Fi, their geotagging functionalities are completely non-overlapping. You cannot send geotags to the 6D at all. You cannot geotag the M6 in real time. You cannot send geotags to the RP after a photo is shot.

By contrast, when you shoot a photo on a phone, it gets geotagged automatically with no fuss. The phone's accurate GPS+GLONASS+WiFi sensors are used (unlike the slow and inaccurate 6D), you don't have to do manual actions after shooting (unlike the M6 synchronization), and you don't need to wait because the phone geolocation service is always ready (unlike the 6D and RP).

>My wife is an Ironman as well (Muskoka, Tremblant and Penticton). . She's been using Zwift since last year. Great way to train btw and great idea but. My concern would be a collapsed lung(s) if this wasn't calibrated correctly. To each their own, but stressing your lungs and diaphragm this much isn't a great idea.

In a lab they can at least make sure you don't hurt yourself.
If that 3 can be decided at runtime rather than at compile time, yes.

Like, if I can have a type Array<Type,Length> and have a function f which has as its input type Int, with the name of the input variable being n, and as its return type Array<Bool,n>
and when you give the return value to something else, it checks (at compile time) that the length of the array (i.e. , n ) matches what the other thing is expecting,

that would be using dependent types.
That takes capital, which is what they lack. And wire.
Ask HN: Learning new tech vs. executing where I'm comfortable?
I have no one to talk about this. Have a full time job with react/rn and a side job offer using angular+NativeScript which are unknown for me. Should I pick this job and learn (this maybe outdated stack?), or skip and go look for projects in my area of expertise or look for projects in React?
It’s not always about work. When I’m shooting weddings f/1.4 is a staple because unless it’s the portrait portion of the day I have no control over the background, apart from my own positioning.

There are still different degrees to how much a source is biased, and I would argue that "Russian ex-military and RT commentator" is very high on the bias scale. Especially since he is from a place famous for heavy restrictions on speech, state-controlled media and disinformation campaigns.
Do you have a specific question? What stage are you at? Are you approaching the problem with an obsessed enough mindset (they call us nerds for a reason)? If you're having trouble getting a program to work, you have to keep at it no matter how long it takes. It gets easier over time.

It may be harder than when I got started, since software back then tended to be more self-contained. But if you can install Python/IDLE and get it to run, that should be enough to start playing with code.

As for computer science (algorithms etc.) it helps to have some reasonable mathematical maturity, so you can understand things like big-O notation intuitively. I'm not sure if that's what you were asking though.
Dealerships are both a completely separate legal entity from the manufacturer and they have a very strong interest in not handing over a defective car to the customer because they're closes to the customer.

They are also required to conduct what's called a PDI - Pre Delivery Inspection - before the customer sees or touches the car.

The car is prepped for sale, and this includes a number of things. Sometimes cars have spacers installed in the suspension. Someone plugs in a diagnostic tool and tells the car's control modules that the car is no longer being stored/shipped, so it can enable all the stuff slowly drains the battery like memory settings, keyless ignition RF transmission, alarm sensors, etc. There's also a cosmetic inspection, where any defects in the paint are taken care of by the dealer's in-house detailing/car prep staff.

A big part of the PDI is going over everything safety related and making sure that nothing happened to the car as part of it being shipped. That includes a test-drive. Usually half an hour or so at a variety of speeds, where the test-driver makes sure every single part works.

I assure you, the person doing the PDI would notice a missing brake pad, even if the dealership mechanic who does the mechanical PDI somehow missed "there's a brake pad completely missing."
Can you explain more about how their EVs are inefficient? Do you mean miles traveled per charge time, or something else?
Linus tried it but had an issue where installing steam wiped his DE. He switched to Manjaro and Luke used Mint.
I probably am massively understating it yes, but I see no reason why an ecosystem around Monero can't flourish that enables sort-of smart contract capabilities. But like you said, it would take a huge amount of effort to enable smart contracts on Monero while not compromising privacy guarantees.

It does seem to be a tradeoff. Solana has smart contract support with low fees, but its network is very centralized compared to other ones and even went down twice. Despite being relatively young, they have flashy PR events in Lisbon and high profile VS backers to hype it up, but again so far most applications built on Solana go back to some form of tokenomics/financial engineering and NFTs.

Writing smart contracts is getting easier and easier with the barrier of entry being how much you're willing to spend on gas really. Hopefully they start expanding into more interesting apps.
Here's a true story: a friend was a young, unmarried professor at a very rural campus. It was also a few years ago before MeToo came along. The older professors knew that it was hard for the youngsters to date so they explicitly told him that they saw no problem with him dating grad students. And the female grad students wanted that option too. He did end up marrying one and the two are quite happy now.

Of course it was a different time. There are rules against these things now.

The replacement for the DSLR isn't tiny cameraphone sensors, ... it's mirrorless cameras like the Canon R-series.

This cameras look and function like DSLRs but the the viewfinder is electronic, not optical-- running the sensor like a video camera.

IMO, it's much better than a DSLR and not just for the lens design reasons mentioned in the article with about the only downside being battery life.

You should do it from...

Remember, Tesla's shtick for a while was to claim that the legacy automakers were dumb dinosaurs who didn't know code, and therefore Tesla would show them by building sonic velocity lights out dreadnaught factories where there weren't any tolerances at all, and... currently builds cars on a line that's basically indistinguishable from what everyone else uses.

In throwing out everything the "dinosaurs" did, it's entirely possible they threw out a range of useful things as well like "The number of parts delivered equals the number of vehicles to be built."

Interesting. I like that whole view of a product. Like how do you describe Cloudflare's produce in one sentence.

Maybe something about 'large edge network cloud to reach your customer quicker' or something I'm not sure how to describe it in a compelling way. Maybe sprinkle on some web3 or distributed bs.

I think AWS, now Google is getting there, have that a lot of stickyness because it has all the services imaginable interconnected (not well sometimes but still). It's a platform not individual products. It's hard to pickup and leave, especially if Cloudflare doesn't have 1:1 replacements.
