But translation doesn't really work like that. There are significant tradeoffs between verbosity, cadence, meaning and subtext when translating. The different contraints are why the forieng dubbibg and foreign subtitles are usually quite different.

You generally only see word for word matches with subtitles when the subtitles are in the same language as the original lines spoken by the actors.
Impressive speed, John. And a hello to the Gitlab #hn-mentions slack channel.

Only people from English speaking countries don't like subtitles, every other country in the world are used to watching movies with subtitles.
Somewhat related to this, I've been in assorted supermarket/hypermarket type stores that place varying emphasis on shrinkage based on the neighborhood. In most parts of New Orleans, the shopping carts have locking wheels, flashing blue surveillance cameras in the parking lots and beeping cameras in what are likely the shrinkage prone areas such as baby formula/diapers (this is exceptionally sad more than anything), cosmetics and fishing equipment. Some have gone as far as having turnstiles at the entrance so as to corral would be grab & runs through a checkout lanes. Having lived in a variety of neighborhoods-- this is kind of like entering an entirely different world (even though the same chain store), so the same scenario as you describe plays out. Being fed the line of "we're watching you because you're probably a criminal, or at least criminal adjacent" has to lead to some type of behavioral modifications-- if you're told you're a thief frequently enough, and are treated like a thief frequently enough, why not steal? It is just kind of depressing when you think about it.
Getting caught means being charged federally and the statue carries a maximum penalty of 20 years.

Half the people commenting on this post don't understand that railway theft is a federal crime which is handled by federal prosecutors in federal court, and has nothing to do with the "liberal governor" or "lazy California prosecutors".

On nearly anything related to societal matters not of a technological sort, HN commenters tend to demonstrate quite a bit of ignorance of the basic facts of the matter at hand.

Also: obviously you don't just patrol 36,000 miles of track: you patrol where the thefts happen (piles of packaging by the tracks), and on the trains. Since you know the schedule of the trains, you even know when people will be trying to do the robberies...

> You shouldn't have total control over a shared message.

I don't think we should be beholden to the mechanics of snail mail or email (almost 30 years old) when we're designing technologies in 2022 and beyond.

It's impossible to send hundreds of mail envelopes, and would be hard to send hundreds of emails in a minute, and both take deliberate action to accomplish. But I can easily send 100 chat messages in a minute, and in that mode of communication with its web of connections, mistakes are easy to make and speaking for myself I appreciate the ability to correct them.

With that said using telegram has been a breath of fresh air (and I hear whatsapp has it too)
> What policymakers and people who think they mean well need to understand ...

Perhaps you are the one who needs to understand. What makes you the holder of Truth? The people you claim to speak for - why are you speaking for anyone? - they vote for these policies, overwhelmingly. They objected for generations to the brutal oppression of police and will tell you, if you let them speak for themselves, that police make them feel less safe. They will tell you that bail ruined lives of innocent people by keeping them imprisoned, costing people jobs, making them burdens on their communities.

> who think they mean well

You can make up characterizations, but the policies are based on, finally, listening to people in those communities.

Further, there is no evidence connecting the policies with crime increases. Crime has remained low overall, and the increase in gun crime and homicide has been spread across the country, regardless of local policies.
My specific example was a private data set hosted on-premises (satellite imagery).

The analysts were pulling down a ~0.1% sample to develop the ML algorithms locally, and then deploying the final thing in the cloud to run through the whole petabyte.

Local development has its advantages, such as high flexibility and very fast cycle times. It's fantastically expensive to outperform a modern PCI 4.0 NVMe drive in the cloud. Locally it's a $200 part.

It runs Catalina, as opposed to Big Sur or Monterey, but works fine.
I watched Squid Game with subtitles and I... kinda agree but I'm pretty certain a lot of scenes have ADR, so even the "original performances" aren't the original performances, but people re-reading lines in a recording studio.

I mean there's some undeniable fact that the original text is the original thing, and low-quality translations often just remove entire parts of sentences or details just because it's "annoying", and you are missing out on lots of fun little details. Not super relevant in paint-by-numbers TV shows but for shows with a lot of flourish in the dialog...

Many of the posts that reach the front page are simply posts that contain GitLab in the URL (ex: a link to an issue from an open source project hosted on GitLab).

Controlling "cognition" in a way that causes you to ignore reality is the wrong way to control emotions.
I've found it helpful to at least look at it as a personal preference, even if no one else wants it. If it helps you, do it.

Such best-practices are an interesting not-so-universal thing in a lot of areas. IMO this often has a lot to do with employer relationships.

I've found that a lot of people are really proprietary about documentation, (not even getting to architecture yet) and treat their time spent documenting as time spent giving away their negotiating leverage.

Sometimes this is a good point to consider though. The situation where you are happy with your work and the situation where the organization needs to start paying more attention to your value can be examined separately and you can make decisions about sharing your documentation work separate from decisions about the documenting itself.

Others don't feel a need to hold back, but they would rather work on more apparent or pressing issues (i.e. more obvious to them because of their differing work perspective). It is then left to the contingency thinker to justify themselves, which can be really difficult.

Regardless, it's important to decide how you feel about it and how helpful it is to your perception of your value and efficacy, as well as the outcomes you desire in your relationship with the organization. Good luck.

I miss seeing Sid reply “hey GitLab CEO here” tbh.
So which is the better solution? Throwing those 6-10 young men in jail or trying to ensure that those 6-10 young men are never motivated to commit armed robbery?

I think a lot of this discussion that is happening nationally about these specific crimes is happening outside the context of the specific neighborhood in which they are occurring. The few miles around Union Station are probably the densest population of homeless people in the country. People who have nothing to lose are much more likely to commit property crime. Maybe the problem here isn't that people are stealing property off trains. Maybe the problem is that there are thousands of people in that area in which stealing something off a train now seems like the best way to improve their life?
So you have residential mail, you just have chosen not to use it.
If the police fail to arrest someone, that is on them. No passing the buck.

> If the DA openly says they won’t prosecute a certain crime why would I expect the police to arrest for it?

Can you cite which DA said that about what crime, other than marijuana possession?

> Once they are a cop their ven diagram shifts to 100% cop and now they are vilified.

Let's not turn them into powerless victims, act like that is the only response police get, that they are such vulnerable people, or that it is not partly a consequence of their actions. They get all sorts of responses from lots of people, and as public officials, criticism is a part of the job. Arguably, if they did their jobs better, they wouldn't be criticized as much.

But rather than changing the subject, a far more important issue is police abusing civilians: The police have a lot of power, well beyond criticism, which ruins lives. Far more important than protecting the suddenly fragile police officers' self-esteem are justice and freedom.
I suspect the reply is saying a western notion of civility is irrelevant because the woman in question, and those like her, are acting against 'the core of civilization' as they know it.
This is kinda what happened to me. Not quite the same way but I got well rewarded and still work there to this day.
I understand but you are in the minority. Most people don't use firefox and most firefox users didn't even know firefox supported installing apps that way on desktop.

If you yourself want to install PWAs on desktop then chrome, edge, and maybe even desktop safari all do it fine. You won't see the browser's chrome and you probably won't even know it's not running in firefox.
For some reason, I find it much easier to remember to visit Cloudflare blogs, solely due to the fact the URL is blog.cloudflare.com and most of the good content is located there.

It might be worthwhile for the Gitlab community team to consider changing https://about.gitlab.com/blog/ to something not tucked away on the about subdomain.

I also realize I might be in the minority of users typing out URLs (no use of bookmarks).

The format exists, it's called ASS. It can do things like this:

https://youtu.be/djrJP_Pi03U

https://youtu.be/R3shsgKbd_M?t=12s

That's a pure text format; no bitmaps involved, just markup and TTF fonts. It can do vector shapes and perspective positioning. These are somewhat overdone examples, but one more common nice use case is literally translating signs on buildings, objects and such, seamlessly, while preserving the image style. The whole thing is rendered in real time and you can toggle the subs off and see the original frame.

https://youtu.be/n_c-eKTisI0

Again, that's all markup rendered on the video in real time from fonts. Yes, really.

It is the standard in the anime fansub community, but has seen little adoption elsewhere. Partially this is because it seems commercial operations rarely have much interest in subtitle quality or technology.

Incidentally, even YouTube supports an undocumented subtitle format that can support a decent amount of styling (YTT). Unfortunately, support is inconsistent across web/mobile versions, and it looks best when viewed in a browser. I've used it to do things like this (turn on captions):

Migrating to another email provider might be a pain when it comes to importing older mailbox content, but any of the alternative email providers would be way cheaper in the long run.

I use Protonmail for myself and around 5 others, with close to 10 mailboxes. I highly recommend it. Not sure what's available from them re. importing older mailboxes - I've never done it - but everything I've used jas been fantastic.

Protonmail's cheap too. Less than $50 annually for all that I use, including multi-user VPN.

I've heard good things about Fastmail too, of you're looking for an alternative.

A sequential scan can be faster than an indexed search in many cases. There is a good reason optimizers often choose to do sequential scans even when an index is available. Remember, the index is displacing data in the cache. Even for data that is purely in memory, sequential scans are often friendly for CPU performance.

On modern server hardware you usually need megabytes of data in a table before sequential scans start to become suboptimal. Most database engines are designed under this assumption.

The art of herding cats is a difficult one.

You must let the cats come to you instead of chasing them.
I see where you’re coming from. I’m not sure where you’d draw the line with things being human constructs, and I’m not sure if it being a construct really detracts from it much.

I do agree about it not inherently being a problem that needs to be medicated. I personally only use meds when I need to be more “normal” and cut through the fog that daily life and tasks seems to generate for me. Sometimes I will develop a backlog of tasks and it’s helpful to cut through it.

I get the feeling that I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time, so to speak. It seems ADHD is present but much more tolerated in some cultures such that it doesn’t cause the person with ADHD as much stress or anxiety as they grow older. Like you suggest, these people are just people and though they’re different in some ways, it’s still within the bounds of normality.

It seems to be once you put ADHD brains into uncomfortable environments that it becomes problematic. Otherwise there is plenty of potential for it to be advantageous in many ways.
A reversible layer on top is possible through smart contracts.
Yup, way out of style. Because it's, you know "waterfall" (as in, anti-Agile). Can't have that.

And because, well, gosh -- "reading". Especially all those icky complete sentences and stuff. Which has definitely gone out of style, especially among the smartphone-addicted set ("if I can't digest or respond to it while thumbing my phone, it doesn't really exist").

Have I perhaps lost touch with modern practices?

No, they've lost touch with you.

I don't want to hate on this game but I think there's a bad trend amongst all YC game investments.

How do they not realise that production values are important for games? Pretty much all YC funded games don't have good art direction. In 99.9% of cases if the game is ugly it's dead on arrival. So many of these games are just YC throwing away $500k. For less than the investment in one game they could hire a few games industry people to give advice on the games. There's so many game art students that graduate every year without being able to get jobs that could make these games look decent.

Off the top of my head MZ was YCs best game investment. Game of War lost players to alternative games with higher production values. Along with other issues the company lost most of its value when it was sold.

Looking at this game these are some issues IMO:

-Dragon animation speed does not match movement speed. This makes it seem like the dragon is not actually walking along. It also doesn't face the direction you're moving. I get this is probably to reduce the amount of sprites needed but with the dragon also not having an animation that matches its movement speed it makes it even more jarring.

-Perspective and art style are all over the place. The "quests" sign and chest next to it are clearly created at a different camera angle to the houses, they are also a completely different art style. Inside you can see the walls from all directions, this is used in action games because something could be on that wall, if there's no action elements inside then using regular style walls would help.

-Lighting is all over the place, even on the same object. In the town section the building in the bottom left (visible at 0.33 in the video) has a dark back suggesting that it is lit from towards the camera, it casts a shadow on the ground as though the light is from the opposite side. On that building there's also no shadow from the chimney. Either everything should cast shadows or nothing should. None of the small props and trees cast shadows.

-The dragon sprite is cell shaded but the backgrounds are not. This can work if done well but because there's a bunch of different styles it can't make the dragon stand out anyway.

-Lots of things(but not all) have a white glow/outline. Is this to show what is interactive? Can these be clicked on? The door to a building seems like enough. Also the buildings have shadows that ground them in the scene but then a white glow is put over them to make them stand out.

Reading the reviews it seems like lots of parents are enthusiastic about the product but I think you need to be careful when they say their kids "love" the product. I've seen this with literally every educational game or gamification system I've ever interacted with. Kids love the game instead of school but would never stop playing their regular favourite game for it.

I think it's disturbing that the website has better production values than the game. Feels very targeted to parents not kids. It seems like they think kids wont notice a low quality game when the founders literally give examples of games they played as kids that have high production values.
As the article says: "bridges and buildings" engineering isn't even representative of all of civil engineering, let alone the entirety of the engineering profession. Also, not all engineers are even professionally accredited.

I'd wager that the vast majority of engineers would not go to jail if their design failed.

> What if the JSON represents a list, or an int?

Then you write one short operator (and I agree that some static languages make this more cumbersome than it should be) to say so, and either handle the case where it isn't, or explicitly declare yourself partial and not handling it.

> Also, how do you then access nested objects, like data['key'][0]['attr'] in Python?

With lenses, something like:

data ^? (key "key") >>> (nth 0) >>> (key "attr")

If you do several unsafe operations in a row then this is cumbersome by design - you want to be clear which parts of your program are safe and which are unsafe, so that readers can understand and know where to review. But a good language should let you compose together several unsafe operations in a lightweight way and then execute them as a single unsafe operation, for cases like this where you want to work in the unsafe part of the language for a bit.

Is it though? You have a reasonably consistent and good experience from iPhone SE to 13 Pro Max. Why would it be unreasonable to expect the same from Androids?

(Personally I have found the real differentiator is not the price, but the amount of crap the vendor adds. There are crap 1k+ phones running Android and often you can find some cheaper ones that have a better software experience)
I don't know if I'll ever find a cooler, more interactive, intuitive, and featureful markdown language and implementation. I use it daily to track issues and progress at work. I use it to document the code, because it can be exported to really any format necessary.

This article is a thinly veiled promotion for Veritone's MARVEL.ai which doesn't even do translation into foreign languages. It's a text-to-speech encoder that has a variety of voices trained for different languages. The actual translations and subtitles need to be done most likely still by human workers or human-supervised machine translation. The article never really makes the point of the title which is that foreign-language subtitles will be ending any time soon.

There should be a disclaimer on this advertorial piece.
>These tax advocates are really just advocating for a single world regime without competition because they know the real threat to their power is that nobody likes them or wants to live under them, so we take our capital and leave.

Most people don't have capital, and most people don't want to leave their country. If the only opposition is the anti-tax rich and people willing to emigrate, I don't think that's going to sufficiently motivate the "war" you're looking for.

In fact, WEF's proposals seems like it would pretty popular among most people who aren't able to move themselves or assets out of the country, because those that do are seen as extractors who have an unfair advantage.
