I just found out about the trail that goes down the Eastside of the river and goes south, wrapping all the way to Gresham. It looks like it's all bike only. I haven't hopped on it yet but I'm gonna rent a bike maybe tomorrow or Monday and check it out.

Portland is definitely one of the more bike safe cities I've been in and it's awesome. It even inspired me to get into longboarding!
Maybe Spotify, as the owner and publisher of the content that they paid a lot of money for, realise that THEY are misleading you and they aren’t comfortable with that / feel that you deserve better / would rather that you stay alive so that you continue to send them money [delete as appropriate]

Re falling asleep during MRI - I was a subject in a study where for about an hour you had to lie in a machine and repeatedly indicate which of two pictures depicted a larger object. They said subjects falling asleep was a big problem! I find sleeping very difficult and even I was feeling extremely drowsy after 45 mins of lying down and establishing "elephants are bigger than mice. Houses are bigger than shoes. Trees are bigger than flowers. Cars are bigger than dogs etc etc etc"
> I don’t think anyone here is advocating for a legislative solution to this dispute.

Not this dispute, per se, but I do advocate for a legislative solution to this whole situation: break them up. Recently posted to HN: https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/mergers-ruin-everything
I can be a proponent of free markets and against constructs that are anti competitive. When products are bundled (like with Microsoft’s Office subscriptions or Spotify), or when products have network effects (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter), or when they have a large number of users, or a large market cap, the free market already no longer exists. Choice becomes limited and barriers to entry become higher. These companies’ products start to become as important and influential as any public space or service. That’s where regulation is needed. And with all of the big tech platforms, they need to be regulated to not allow users to be denied or discriminated against due to their political views. The alternative is they are split up. But the free market definitely doesn’t exist right now.

Take a look at what happened with Parler. It was a rare successful challenger, although small by comparison, to big social media. Then AOC pressured a few companies to ban Parler and they all complied - whether to build favor with legislators that might regulate them or because it aligned with their politics. The claim that people can just build their own platform doesn’t work in a market this distorted.

As for your redefinition of censorship - I disagree. Legal or contractual allowance doesn’t change what it is. This is censorship.
That TL is crappy.

For my team, I even encourage them to publish PR before doing any test.

They can start writing tests, but please publish PR before.

For most users it isn't a bad deal at all. It's a 33% price savings over straight monthly, and I suspect many/most users have subscriptions much longer than a year.

This all seems a bit overwrought. Like the root post, I cannot fathom who would go through a purchase process that included the phrase "Annual plan, billed monthly" and not clue in. Or that that drop down includes a separate straight monthly plan at a significant price premium (50% higher). To give even more of a hint, a separate "you have until this date to cancel without a penalty" disclaimer gives another clue.

On the scale of dark patterns, this one is pretty eh. It clearly could be clearer for people who seem to just click straight through stuff, but I suspect a lot of the people chose the cheaper per month annual plan thinking they were hacking the system, and then discovered that it wasn't all upside.

They seem to be a bit confused with optics. What they minimise by reducing the aperture size is the spherical aberration, if they used a spherical lens as pictured.

Coma is present on parabolic mirrors, which do not exhibit spherical aberration or any shape related aberration when the rays are parallel to the boresight of the camera, but only when at an angle.
Recently subscribed to a free seven day trial. Wrongly assumed that I could cancel up to the seventh day. Unfortunately, the Trial required cancellation to occur before the seventh day.
This feels like a strawman, with an actual political example (going to war) treated the same as measurable scientific rationale. Joe Rogan knows fighting and stirring up his fans with provocative questions, he does not have any qualifications to contribute to peer review. There is nothing political about that.

This has an explanation of the motivation for this project:

https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/motivation/

It sounds super interesting, it fits the middle ground between Django Rest Framework and FastAPI taking the best of both. Full support for Django and particularly it’s ORM (hard to do with FastAPI as the Django ORM is not yet async and can’t be used with FastAPI)

I like that it supports both sync and async as I’m personally not convinced about the use of async Python everywhere. I could see this being brilliant for an api where the majority is simple sync code but with a few endpoint with long running responses or where you need multiple concurrent requests to DBS or other APIs.

Apology checklist:

Expressing Regret. Check

Accepting Responsibility. Half a check

Making Restitution. zero

Genuinely Promising Change. Check

Requesting Forgiveness. Check

I'd ding him an extra half point for that "I was quoted out of context" thing. Even if true, he's quibbling at a time when he should have been doing the restitution part.

Still, three points out of five is not bad by comparison to other public apologies we've been getting.

> If I consider myself "left" I should still be able to criticize the "left".

And...most people on the left do that. A lot.

> The problem is the mob cancels anyone critical

“Cancels” is just bullshit. Virtually every person that has supposedly been “cancelled” still has a prominent platform and large and devoted audience; what they've done is been criticized and lost some audience and goodwill because certain of their ideas have competed poorly in the marketplace of ideas.

> That's a great way to send teammates to another team.

Just because you consider yourself on someone else's “team” doesn't mean they see you that way, and just because you see yourself as, e.g., “left”, doesn't mean everyone else on the “left” is part of the same team.

Anarchists and Libertarian Socialists see themselves as on the “left”.

Lenin-/Stalin-/Maoists see themselves as on the “left”.

They aren’t, even approximately, the same team.

And neither is the same team as, say, Social Democrats or Democratic Socialists, also on the “left”, though sometimes people in those groups may have a temporary, transitory, tactical alignment of interests.

Why do they need to remove the whole episodes though? Can't they just put a voice over through that part of the show?

Well, it's the left that pushing to cancel Rogan, no question. I am also certainly opposed to right wing censorship in any forms, but that's not really what is being discussed here. This just seems like whataboutism.

>Of course the firestorm their actions caused in the public discourse on this issue has shown their voice matters quite a bit.

Media pundits and organizations can always blow up and enlarge the issues raised by some artists that they agree with to further a cause they'd advocate for anyway.

Doesnt mean the artists are relevant in 2022 pop culture - or that if they had said something different (with no eager pundits to push it) they would been also listened to.

In fact, Neil Young for one, has been laughed at (by the same media) several times in past 1-2 decades, for his "out of touch" tirades against compressed musid, his bizarro Pono music player business, and so on.
The MSM has been parroting "imminent attack" memes such as the recall of regional embassy staff. Trotting out a USS Maine "dem Ruskies gonna make some fake videos" looks like more of the same yellow journalism that loves a good war.

The thing though is it does make Putin look weak if he has to move 100k troops to threaten Biden to the negotiation table.

People Hate the Future of the Internet
Note that this method generate a video that looks nice and is very similar to a lava lamp, but it's not a 100% pixel perfect simulation of a lava lamp.

I'm not sure if you can use an image or short video as a seed, but in case it's possible, the rest of the real video and the rest of the video generated by this will look similar for a short time, but after a while they will be more and more different.

It's similar to turning on two lamps of the same factory at the same time. In spite they look similar initially, after a while they will look different.

In particular a real lamp will get some vibration the cars in the streets that will affect the content just a little, but after a while the chaotic behavior will make the differences bigger. Also small temperature differences from the sunlight from the window, and other stuff that looks unimportant will cause the real lamp to have a unpredictable behavior after some time.
Personal space is one of the most powerful effects in VR. It is striking to have a character get too close and can be every bit as powerful for a character to be uncomfortably distant — and stronger still when these experiences are contrasted (E.g. Blanc in the Neptunia VR game.)
Incredible how no competitor could ever totally fill the empty space left by Google Reader. Some of them play recommendations, others are perhaps too simple, or not as linear ux-wise.

300k will last if you are a dual income couple with no kids and you don’t live extravagantly. Here’s a breakdown

105000 in taxes.
36000 towards maxing out your retirement accounts.
9000 in other investments and savings per year.
55000 - 60000 per year for renting a house with a yard in a good location.
5000 - one small vacation per year.
12000 - grocery and food expenses.
2500 - Insurance for two high end cars.
4000 - Gas for two cars plus maintenance expenses.
1800 - Internet and cellphone per year.
600 - Streaming for a couple of services per year.
3000 - Health Insurance out of pocket expenses per year.
5000 - other entertainment expenses such as gifts for friends, fine dining, concerts etc.
4000 - Home goods, utilities per year.

You have spent 243000 roughly so far.

If you have children
25000 per year per child for childcare for young children or
12-13000 per year per child for after school care and summer camps per kid
If you send children to private school, 20000 per year per child.
Miscellaneous expenses for children: 2000 per year per child.

If you have one child and don’t send him to public school, you are out an additional 35000 for 278000. If you send him to public school you are out 258000.

If you have two children and don’t send them to public school you are now out an additional 70000 for 313000. If you send both to public school you are out 273000.
I think you've answered the question whether art can be practiced in any profession.

When you've got the rare individual who's overflowing with the consensus features:

>Dedication to learning the craft

>Ability to innovate

>Self learning, forward thinking

>Stubborn

>Invests many, many hours

And they're in action as:

>“chess players”, “baristas”, “board game geeks”,

musicians, computer programmers, etc.

Returning to the original topic, would this technique also work for subscriptions to Adobe products purchased through the App Store?

I've considered getting Illustrator for my iPad Pro, but have held off because of reticence about subscription terms.

(For what it's worth I used to work in graphic design and prepress a while back and learned Illustrator, so it has a familiarity advantage for me over worthy competitors like Affinity Designer.)

Ask HN: How to improve WiFi for cloud gaming?
I used to have a fairly elaborate system of vlans and access points and switches and so on. After we switched to Bell fiber in Toronto Canada, we just use their home hub 3000

Performance is good but flakey. We live in a house but it's heavily saturated by neighbours blasting their WiFi. My throughput is great but latency and connectivity are super inconsistent.

Googling mostly gives useless entry level suggestions many of which are practically wrong - just set up transmission to extra high everywhere.

Any tips on how to actually make a good WiFi coming off bell home hub, on particular for phone cloud gaming?
They aren’t evil, it’s just when companies move to subscription they turn into mini insurance companies focused on the spreadsheets. They model out your lifetime value and know that every $1 they chisel out of you is worth $1.40 in 5 years.

They are brutal in the enterprise space, looking for 10-15% price escalations. They also turn over sales leadership so if you are big enough you can pull stunts for concessions. Just do some recon and figure out what they get paid the most on. Last time, we hired a few interns specifically to do a public PoC of how we were getting rid a key product in the portfolio. Made sure they heard about it and got significant confessions. Basically 10x the intern and PoC investment. We ended up hiring the interns as well for an extra bonus.

As a consumer, you need to be really aware of the motivations of your suppliers business model and model your business accordingly. Understand your costs and use OSS strategically, or understand where you just need to take what they offer (ie AWS). Things in the middle, like Adobe in my case, you need to be ready to walk away or play chicken and make a deal at the 11th hour.
Current Carmel resident and can confirm that it’s a pretty good option. There is a well maintained rail trail (the Monon) that bisects the city and lots of other paths that connect to it. You can get to most of the places in the city you’d want to go on the existing trails. And you can even get all the way to downtown Indianapolis on the trail.
Yes, at my startup we run https://github.com/Place1/wg-access-server inside our kubernetes clusters to give engineers access to local pods vs the k8s DNS (*.svc.cluster.local). It works relatively well but we've had to make a couple modifications:

1. I had to deploy CoreDNS to our cluster and set up DNS query rewriting to redirect queries from *.cluster.mystartup to *.svc.cluster.local because docker on OS X has issues resolving hostnames that end in .local

2. I had to modify the code to support a non-standard MTU to deal with a networking issue related to google cloud.

What Radix say is true though.

In private DBs, reads from the DB node are considered transactions and need to follow the same rules as writes.
But on public blockchains(ledgers) only state manipulation is what matters.
For example, Metamask obtaining an address balance would be a transaction, but no one calls it that way because it doesn't modify the state.

>Math, physics, late night debugging sessions, repairing electronics/cars, overall hacking... Is this the skillset of an artist or a programmer?

To meet their goal they're each going to carry out a 1000 step process where everything builds on what went before (many many thousands of steps) and (regardless) too many false steps you are out.

A musician may have a piece memorized or may be using sheet music. They may have composed the piece or even be improvising as they go along. But one false step and people may say hey what a sour note.

Some notes more sour than others.

A programmer may implement a familar algorithm from memory or may be copying & pasting. They might have an appropriate one of their own or come up with something excellent as they go along. But one false step and people could say hey you've got a serious bug there.

Some bugs more offensive than others.

Depending on your gear at the time, different steps may or may not be automated or manually carried out.

There's not much room for error in a 1000 step process.

Obviously most people aren't cut out for it anyway.

Author here.

HVM is the ultimate conclusion to years of optimal evaluation research. I've been a great enthusiast of optimal runtimes. Until now, though, my most efficient implementation had barely passed 50 million rewrites per second. It did beat GHC in cases where optimality helped, like λ-encoded arithmetic, but in more real-world scenarios, it was still far behind. Thanks to a recent memory layout breakthrough, though, we managed to reach a peak performance of 2.5 billion rewrites per second, on the same machine. That's a ridiculous 50x improvement.

That is enough for it to enjoy roughly the same performance of GHC in normal programs, and even outperform it when automatic parallelism kicks in, if that counts! Of course, there are still cases where it will perform worse (by 2x at most usually, and some weird quadratic cases that should be fixed [see issues]), but remember it is a 1-month prototype versus the largest lazy functional compiler in the market. I'm confident HVM's current design is able to scale and become the fastest functional runtime in the world, because I believe the optimal algorithm is inherently superior.

I'm looking for partners! Check the notes at the end of the repository's README if you want to get involved.
