I hate PDF's with a passion. Not once have I ever wanted to use one. All the pinching and zooming, such a waste of time. I'm giving this a shot next time I need one, the whole scanner thing needs to go. Are we stuck in the 90's?

Just bought another rental and it was an ordeal trying to find a scanner. Tried the college near me, was denied as you have to be a student. The library is closed down apparently. FedEx didn't have one. The one at the Office Depot was broken. I ended up driving 30 miles to a friends house to use theirs, which required driver upgrades since nobody had used it in a year. I don't understand the point of jumping through all these hoops.

I feel the same with credit card signatures, completely useless and has never once helped me with identity theft or fraudulent transactions. Now I just draw a horizontal line or smiley face.

> UB problems happen only when compilers detect it, understand it is an opportunity for optimization, because they are allowed to do anything, then do that optimization.

This is a deep misconception, and not at all how most undefined behavior is related to optimization.

Trivial example: Compilers assume that your variables aren't written to randomly from other threads. Without this assumption, virtually no optimization would be possible. Therefore, data races are UB - they violate a hard assumption of the compiler. But at no point did the compiler say "oh, you wrote to this variable without synchronization! Now I'll show you, hehehe!".

This is the same for e.g. removed overflow checks. Compilers can optimize many loops only if they assume signed integer overflow never happens. So, because compilers should be able to assume this, it is UB if it happens in your code. The same logic that deduces "this loop cannot wrap around" deduces "this if condition [an overflow check] cannot ever be true".

But it's easier for a programmer who got their UB-reliant checks optimized out to attribute malice to the compiler than to understand optimization fundamentals, and thus we get people complaining to high heaven and back.

Yeah, MS offer great value. I was with Dropbox, and they increased their prices to $99 for just storage. And I cancelled it, as I get 1Tb storage + Ms Office for that amount.
Ask HN: How do you conduct code reviews?
Say you are asked to review a fairly large PR on an area of code you aren't particularly familiar with. I find I get fairly overwhelmed in these scenarios and struggle to truly understand the changes and what they are aiming to do.

What steps do you go through to make sure you are satisfied with the work before giving it that tick?
If they're upset about the statue outside of the museum, they'll be irate about most of the contents of it.

That whole back-left corner of the museum is fascinating anthropologically, but not exactly ideologically aligned nowadays.
The title of the article ("He thought tending bar sounded like fun. Then the entire kitchen staff quit on Christmas Eve"), the NH submission title ("Former Labor Secretary Found What Work Is Like Now") and your comment ("...joins the workforce and learns the real truth") make it sounds like the author experienced some deep revelation about the state of this kind of work.

I think the titles are a bit hyperbolic (to bait clicks, perhaps), as my reading of the article is different: I think the things described in this article are not surprising to the author and not supposed to be that surprising to the audience. I read the article a much more straightforward comment by the author to say "this is my experiences and I don't think they're unique".
Ouch. Yeah, with the picture of the whole thing it's easier to see why.
This shows a disturbing lack of empathy.

> I want a server who will entertain me while I'm waiting.

Not everyone does--people are fickle. There's also a reason theaters don't use a pay-what-you-want model. Having your lively hood to depend on the whims of strangers is no way to operate.
Houses, but maybe the latter...
Having seen the picture of the statue its pretty much good riddance for theo's legacy.

However I think that given the very long hiding of usa skeletons in the closet regarding issues like colonialism, I think this is the unfortunate collateral consequence of confronting and uprooting said past even if I find the "importance " about a statue's existence to be eye rolling.
Access to banking is indeed a problem, but pragmatically there is always cash or a non-fraudulent [0] check drawn on a local bank. And for tips specifically, they can just be bundled with the rest of the pay rather than creating a second problem.

[0] for example checks drawn on Bank of America accounts are generally fraudulent, as BoA refuses to pay the specified amount when presented for payment at a branch. They're trying to run a similar scam to the ATM card fee described in the article, but they're doing it with the much older technology of checks and thereby inducing their customers to commit check fraud.
High school kids shouldn't need jobs, but they can all benefit from working part time jobs. Having a job teaches them how the real world operates and exposes them to diverse people outside their social bubble. In retrospect the jobs I had as a high school kid were tremendously valuable in ways that went beyond the tiny wages that I earned.
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I was saying maybe there could be startups tackling this issue, and offering their solutions as services, making the process as easy and smooth as possible.

There should be quite some companies are willing to pay for this kind of service, because remote working is booming, and the compensation varies a lot in different parts of the world.
If you can only share chrome and some apps, that's because you're running Chrome/Discord/Slack/etc in XWayland, hence only having access to other XWayland apps. Chromium (hence Electron apps) still hasn't made the switch to defaulting to wayland when available, you need a few CLI flags to get proper sharing.
It looks like they were rightfully flagged.
> if we resort only to emotion without reason

If you walk down a street and see a musician play with donation box, if you were using only emotions without reason you'd give away your wallet and all rings and keys to the car.

Its a nonsensical statement, nobody is driven only via emotions. But some are driven completely without emotions.
My Power Systems course in college back in 2014 used Germany as an example of how not to handle energy policy due to the brain-dead decision to get rid of perfectly fine and functional nuclear plants. The professor also had us produce high quality white papers and present them to the class, and receive mock peer reviews on our work showing how terrible renewables are as a "solution" compared. That wasn't his stated goal, but it was the conclusion that 107 out of 107 people in the class independently came to after a review of the relevant academic research. The only sustainable long-term solution for baseload is nuclear fission for at least the next 50-60 years barring any massive breakthroughs in nuclear fusion. Every single other option is a massive disaster ecologically and economically.

I agree they can be fixed, although I disagree that DHCPv6 is the solution given Android doesn't support DHCPv6. In practice most vendors I know of just use privacy addresses by default now for IPv6, at least outside servers, so it's mostly a non-issue but the fact remains it's something not applicable to IPv4. And for quite a while it was an issue, it's just that IPv6 hasn't been popular enough for consumers to care instead of just security people.

> There is nothing in IPv6 that mandates that addresses be assigned this way. Like IPv4 they can be anything.

Yes but that's nitpicking at the core RFCs vs the many other supporting RFCs. There's no IPv4 RFC for using a MAC in the IP address, whereas there is with IPv6 (rfc2373 from a quick look, maybe others).
would be good if you could at least point/explain how this is false. Other than that we can choose: should we trust newspaper or a anonymous HN user
>Is there anyone taking Ivermectin that also isn't anti-vaccine, right of center politically, and don't know that the risks with vaccines are also the risks of covid itself, only lower with vaccines?

I'm vaccinated and would consider taking Ivermectin/Fluvoxamine if I become infected and detect it early enough.

I also make sure to supplement with Vit D/Vit C/Zinc pre-emptively even though these are vaguely associated with "antivaxxer" now.
I’ve done this with rice. :)
> When you work with low-level languages and refuse to read the spec carefully, you are to blame more than the language or the spec.

This is true to some extent but I think there is a reasonable argument that the language specs are generally geared towards people building compilers or similar tools, and it's not reasonable to expect everyone who works with a language to be intimately familiar with the spec at that level. In the case of C++, the language complexity seems to be at the point where even people who are highly-skilled and work on tools like Clang are still hesitant to say they fully understand the rules around undefined behaviour.
Wow, that’s some bad UX. Especially when it can’t as easily be done on mobile.
I agree that there is a difference, but it's pretty hard to define. YouTube videos are a product, the creators are earning money from your views one way or another. If you ban targeted ads while allowing recommendations, Facebook will just claim that it shows you targeted recommendations.
Technically even constant mouse movement could suffice.

> This sort of began when we all got the impression that software should be free, or that we pay a low price once and get indefinite free upgrades.

This didn't happen by accident. Apple still refuses to add a paid version upgrades feature to the App Store. And by providing software like Numbers/Pages at a loss (for free) they normalized a zero or near zero cost of software in their ecosystem. At this point I'm pretty sure this is an intentional strategy of "Commoditizing their Complement"[1] on Apple's part.

Yes, and it's additional overhead for the people designing the operating system to worry about. More complexity, more attack surface.
I'm not a Bukowski fan in particular, but I have worked as an editor, and I can't imagine any writer I've worked with accepting that kind of heavy-handed rewriting of their works. For myself, I never tried to rewrite an author's work, generally the idea is to try to get the writer to do the work and follow your feedback willingly. When the writer is deceased you have fewer options, but I think you pretty much have to accept it as is, and say, this is what we have.

There's articles all over the Internet on how to remove/disable the speaker on airtags. Doesn't look to hard to do either, no hardware sensing if this is the case so it just keeps on working.

This exactly matches my experience with Elm. You wrote "..how resistant it was to me hacking my way to success"; the same here, I tried to do things my way, and Elm would resist (thankfully) those efforts. It resulted in an easy to maintain, much cleaner code. Initially, I went through a 3 month mental grind to learn FP in Elm to be somewhat productive. Then it suddenly started to flow. A while ago I wrote a variation of Snake game [0], using elm-ui to render the simple graphics. The coding experience was fantastic.

Their margins can be high enough to get away without squeezing out every efficiency known to humankind.

A cardiologist that pays someone to follow them around all day for the computer stuff makes 5% less than the one that DIYs it all. (And possibly makes up for it in increased billing, but it can slow things down too, especially as the interfaces improve).

There’s also a level of smugness about knowing a solution off the top of your head vs. Googling or researching it using subscribed DBs (by yourself or by your “law librarian”).

Personally, I’m happy if my doctor googles a solution and goes by a recent review article written by specialists in that area rather than “top of heading” with what they learned in a Continuing Ed session, marketing session or school (if it was long enough ago).
You are right. I searched for 'speaker', which didn't work :(
I use the display for a employee terminal (display + RFID reader) and at home another as a stream-deck alternative (with stream-pi).

I use these too, though ours are made with corn for some reason. I guess the friends who gifted them were hanging with the corn crowd on craft-Pinterest or something. They smell like sweet Corn Nuts when heated, which is a pretty pleasant effect.

We do have a cylindrical one but the two biggest are shaped like mini pillows, more rectangular patterned.

Combine them with a lap blanket, hot tea, brand new thick winter socks, insulated slippers, a hoodie, 50 push-ups before work and a 400W zone heater, and you will be able to survive my office in the winter :D

It’s not a fixed percentage but it’s close enough to think of it that way.

The real problem is that they are legally prohibited from using tip share to pay their back of house more.

This puts them in a situation where if they want to raise kitchen staff wages they have to raise prices and restaurant customers are extremely price sensitive.

Several high end restaurants (were presumably there would be less price sensitivity) have tried doing away with tips and raising their prices to pay all staff a more uniform wage. It’s largely failed. Customers don’t like higher prices and front if house staff largely prefer tips as they make more (at the cost of lower pay for their kitchen colleagues).

On the subject of sensitive info:

Google supposedly implemented an auto delete feature for OTP messages within 24h in their own Messages app. I couldn't find it on my dated Moto G7 though (Android 10).

I any app I tend to favourite/pin my most frequent contacts and sources of messages and usually manually bulk delete the rest.

Funny story is that SMS do have a standard for sensitive info (Class 0 - not stored on the device) but I haven't seen that being used since the time of bulletproof Nokias :)
I think one big difference with WebGL and WebGPU is that WebGL was never really a target that you'd use for native applications. I've never heard of WebGL running outside of a browser (you'd use OpenGL ES for that), whereas I think native WebGPU has the potential to end up being the OpenGL replacement people have been asking for for years.

It definitely won't kill Unity or Unreal, but I have hopes that it will make developing without a ready-made engine a bit more attractive at least!

If you have a basic handle on a GUI Bitmap editor such as Photoshop or GIMP, and you have a hi-resolution phone, you can just take a photo of the sheet as parallel as you can manage and then create a document that is the same dimensions and then use the warp tool to fit the likely skewed photograph to the exact digital document.
Just take a photo next time, you can use Office Lens or Apple Notes.
Inverted outcomes resulting from the Electoral College system
Right. From my understanding, plenty of local people have taken issue with this statue for a while. Regardless of how one feels about any individual, there are more and there are less tasteful ways of depicting them with a statue, and this statue isn't in the "more" camp. The knee-jerk reaction many people will have will be to decry this as cancel-culture coming after Theodore Roosevelt; in my personal opinion, I think of this as cancelling _this one particular statue_, not cancelling _Roosevelt_.
As someone else mentioned, I think that only applied to certain effects. But the paper did say something along the lines of "persistent effects are highly debated" (sorry the site won't let me copy anything or download a PDF...)
I agree that it seems at least plausible that a cure will be found in the future. The cell already has a number of quality control mechanisms for detecting misfolded proteins. It seems not unusual that we'd be able to piggyback onto this system do develop something that can detect specific prions and neutralize or destroy them, possibly delivered an an RNA shot.

The problem is that there are a minuscule number of prion deaths in the developed world, so I don't see it getting a huge amount of attention.

On the other hand, the Covid RNA vaccines were basically invented by a handful of people looking at a string of nucleotides over the course of five days. (It took large companies to actually develop the vaccine itself, of course.) This could end up being something that's solved by more accurate protein-folding simulations (perhaps Google's AlphaFold) and a couple of grad students.
Its worth mentioning that string theory went through quite few 'recalibrations', it feels like it string theorists are throwing stuff to see what sticks sometimes.

As an example navigating a list directly with my fingers is much, much faster and more convenient than navigating it with arrow keys (physical or on-display ones).

Navigating a 2D space with my fingers, just dragging around or pinching to zoom, is also much, much faster and more convenient faster than than doing the same with arrow keys (again, either physical or on-display ones).

And navigating through the OS and apps, either through lists and 2D spaces (websites, images, maps, videos, etc.) is a lot more common than copying files around on phones. 100:1, probably. Again, some techie/advanced functionality was lost at the start, but the time and frustration savings from those basic yet intuitive features heavily outweighed their loss.

If you don't agree with this, I guess you either haven't tried pre-iPhone smartphones or you just have a very unorthodox opinion and I'm not very keen to continue this conversation.
Personally I prefer to be around people who are friendly because they genuinely want to be rather than because I am paying them to fake it.
Sure, you can fix it, but you have to fix it; with v4 it just wasn't a problem.
I don't know, your version in the example looks pretty bad to me? Sure, maybe the excessive line length of the combined if is a readability issue, but something about a postfix unless inside an if makes it very hard to follow what combination of flags would trigger it. In this scenario, I'd try to give meaningful names to the boolean expressions, and write a simpler conditional.

I've never put much thought into this but my mother who spent some of her teenage years in the UK in the 70's used to use a hot water bottle. Here in the US, we had a mid-century ideal of "energy too cheap to meter" that would have been provided by the burgeoning nuclear industry. It never really panned out, but a lot of houses had things like radiant heaters in floors and room wrapping baseboard heaters installed for comfort which is nicer than having to deal with a fluid filled bladder, but obviously much more costly.
I keep a personal txt file named "cemetery_of_paid_apps.txt" it's where I hold all the apps that I paid and latter became subscription based as a reminder of how stupid I was of paying for apps.

So far the list:

2. Unread

3. Notability

4. 1password

5. Infuse

6. 1blocker

7. PocketCast

8. Ulysses

I'm well aware that some grandfathered their previous paid licenses after a lot of noise (Notability). But I don't care, this subscription hysteria is actually having the unintended effect of saving me a lot of money on apps that are one time purchase. All I can think is that it's a matter of time before they all become a subscription service, so I don't even bother anymore buying new apps.
