Thanks for the sanity check

I have a dirty prototype I need to rewrite soon so I was considering a coordinate system change. It'd make debugging much easier if the values drawn and the values of the coordinates had the same "directions"

I was a bit apprehensive to just yolo my own internal coordinate system bc it's a design decision you end up having to live with
This is actually a less creepy kinda useful application of face recognition (not taking into account actual face recognition for surveillance which is grossly unethical). The question is how does it fit into legal framework? As far as I know, many countries require retail staff to physically check your ID if they suspect you are underage.
Recoll is the best i found for pdfs on linux. Recommended.

For everything else that's just plain text, ripgrep or ctrl+shift+f in the IDE.
yeah, you're right! but for showing a relatively small part of the world, it doesn't matter (and in fact, usually I'm plotting things in Antarctica where Mercator's area explosion is an anti-feature).
I agree with the point, but software has at times frustratingly used left-handed coordinates for drawing on screens. DirectX and browsers' use of `z` come to mind.
> Basically, there’s no reliable way for users to get vetted weather information on their phones.

Browsers should work, right? I check the (Australian) Bureau of Meteorology website all the time on my phone. We use it to plan family trips and when to do the washing.
> This is how we started the thread, by observing that people have enormous problems spelling HIPAA because they believe the spelling should correspond to the pronunciation

People who read HIPAA have no problem pronouncing it.

People who hear hɪpɑː sometimes have trouble spelling it, coming up with “HIPPA” instead of “HIPAA” (this often isn’t because it is the most natural read of the phonetics, but because they back-figure the acronym from the best-known focus of the law as “Health Insurance Privacy Protection Act” rather than “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act”.)
I don’t think so? The article was saying there’re: traditional news behind a paywall, and free disinformation. It then goes on to argue: liberal leaning people pay for the news, while the rest read the free disinformation.

I don’t think what I said is close to the opposite of that, which would be something like “liberal leaning people consume only free disinformation” (or, idk), but I do stand by what I said. If we were still reading newspapers, I think we might be less tolerant of poor editorializing, because we expect a high quality product for our money.
Yeah, PROJ handled this correctly, introducing a new header file and eventually deprecating the old one after a while, making it hard to do the wrong thing. But for some reason pyproj must have kept the same interface across the breaking change?
Pretty sad. Jeff Bezos - like him or not - supports Dutch businesses, adds to their GDP, buys a yacht etc. This is the thanks.
It is easy to use different wallets per site to make tracking harder, in Metamask you can easily switch?
Browsers like brave will perhaps also implement this I guess.

Not the person you're asking, but I was actually somewhat underwhelmed by that book. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations, but I felt like it combined very general, obvious ideas ("keep teams together") with oddly specific numeric recommendations ("a manager doing technical work in addition to management can support at most five people") that didn't come with any good evidence beyond author opinion.

There were some things that I did find reason to take notes on, such as:

- Each area of responsibility should have a team dedicated to it, even if some teams end up having zero people in them, and sometimes members from other teams have to rotate into that function. I liked this because I know how easy it is to forget that some functions are understaffed if you squeeze them in with other functions.

- If you want to improve how the larger organisation works, run the improvement as an experiment in your team and then publish a very brief report on the results along with instructions for how other teams can try it. I liked this because I've often done the first part, but I've often forgotten the publishing part.

- A leader is asked to decide a million things a day. Your job is not the make those decisions, your job is to figure out a system in which the decision is not needed, or the right decision is clear for anyone to see, and then help others participate in that system. I knew this from before, but it bears repeating because it's so easy to forget in the heat of decision-making.

(The last point has a more general corollary: your job is never to do what you were hired for, it's to teach others how to do what you were hired for.)
It is blaming the user for a server side issue, which could lead to alternate browsers being tested, tethered vs ethernet, cookies/cache clearing, extensions review, etc.

This makes the user question, is it me?
After seeing Fastmail plugged here for years I finally switched and couldn’t be happier. Custom domain and everything. And… the web ui is… fast!!!
In art we use various kinds of media. These have overlapping or unique qualities, and we can choose to use them accordingly, or not. The idea that there is one medium to satisfy all the needs is rather short sighted. If you actually pick up a piece of clay (just an example) and start to shape and model it, you will learn about its specific qualities. Then pick up plaster and learn about the amount of plaster you have to sieve into the bucket of water that will give you the plasticity you want. Dig your hand in the soft mass, feel it squirt through your fingers when you clench your first..
Or use oil pastels and draw, then change to pencils in various hardnesses....

What I want to point out is that

1. The interface is so bad on a computer compared to the raw materials we have

2. Ideas are formed in the making of an artwork. Often you develop new ideas while working with the material (that's true for working on a program too). You usually have several stages from pencil sketch to the final piece, or its just the pencil drawing.

3. We don't need a universal medium. Ist great we have so many.

4. I often wonder how broad the English term "art" is. Art as in "fine/contemporary art" is very different to art as in "arts and crafts" or "latte art".

I'm an artist who studied art. I make media art experimental improvised music. I use computers and programming languages for my art, and I'm happy that I can use these tools, but I also enjoy working with physical media, that I can touch and shape.
For Adobe specifically, I threatened a chargeback for any amount I’d be charged after I let them know I wanted to cancel, including the cancellation fee.

But for vendors like these, usually I use debit cards which I only load when I want to pay for the service. Send their payment failed emails right to spam.
Mostly no, it does not. Actually there is nothing wrong with targeted advertising, products and ads are meant to target specific people in its nature. But online advertising are a scheme for tech companies to make money.

Adtech was created to make the buying and selling of online advertising so much more efficient. Today, about $350 billion dollars is spent on online advertising. 70%+ of it is bought programmatically. And according to the ANA and PwC, 70% of advertising dollars spent on online programmatic advertising never touch a human being. Of $200 billion in annual programmatic ad spend, $140 billion disappears in "ad fees, fraud, non-viewable impressions, non-brand-safe placements, and unknown allocations".

See The Programmatic Poop Funnel: https://i2.createsend1.com/ei/d/DD/DB6/ACD/030147/csfinal/Sc...

I love reading Bob Hoffman about this subject.

"The lovely fantasy of online advertising -- in which the same person who was frantically clicking her remote to escape from TV advertising was going to merrily click her mouse to interact with online advertising -- is going to go down as one of the great marketing delusions of all time. It has been undermined by an unfortunate fact of nature -- no one in his right mind volunteers for advertising.

By a factor of about a thousand to one, people who can interact with media do so to avoid advertising -- not engage with it."

DeWalt is mostly made in China. At least pretty much al DeWalt stock in Australia is.

Was curious about the other brands you listed.. Hyper Tough is manufactured by Test Rite in China and Taiwan.

Ideal is the only one that is strictly US made.

Nuclear cannot do peak power in any affordable way. So it doesn't matter how reliable nuclear is, if there is not enough power in late afternoon/early evening then the grid is broken.

Given the current costs for nuclear power, you can do a lot of crazy stuff with wind and solar (like transporting it over long distances) and still be cheaper than nuclear.
> The vast majority of the code in that repository is in the IO monad and uses carefully placed “!” eager evaluation annotations.

This is the claim we're talking about. Since you're into facts, not subjective opinions, show some evidence that the vast majority of the code in the repository is in the IO monad and uses carefully placed "!" eager evaluation annotations. Just to be clear, you haven't done that yet. That's a fact, not a subjective opinion.
Yeah but usually people want to do something silly like place a point on the surface of the Earth :).
Sad that they just can’t do that anyways. What happened to privacy? They need to justify things about preventing child porn to people for reasons?
Fuck this government. They will use children and terrorists as an excuse to do whatever they want. Whenever you hear because Terrorism or because the children, watch out!

Walmart will let you return an item the next day. Meanwhile, I believe that a contract signed while drunk would be unenforceable.

Go already. I'd love for there to be a massive Meta-shaped hole in Europe that could be filled with non-evil companies.

Or perhaps vk.com would just swoop in and everything would be worse.
Can anyone involved in this tell me about their experience with the project, and also and how to get involved?

(Yes, from a practical pov. I know there is a "get involved" button. I just can't connect that to technical work)
Dang, that's a ton of upvotes for the first day. HN really had a leg up at the beginning. I bet a lot of reddit clones never get half as many users as HN had at the start.

Funny to see everyone's username green because their accounts were just created. Although I see a few accounts that were created months before launch. Maybe there was internal usage before launch that wasn't archived.

Edit: ha, I see the internal usage was archived after all. Here's the real first day, pg's account creation date: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2006-10-09 Seems like it didn't catch on internally and usage died out after a few days, and then there's pretty much nothing until the public launch.
Either the drive you wrote the disks on, or the drive you used to read them, were misaligned.

Putting the disks back in the original drive and they probably would have been readable.

Either way Joe Rogan says some incredibly dumb, ill thought out things, but it's clear the MSM are out to get him now. Mob rule has now taken control.
Fastmail. It just works and does everything I need, without bloat (I've got it on a custom domain). It also seems reasonably likely to last "a decade or two".
My government has restricted travel in order to stop a pandemic virus spreading to the point where hospitals are overwhelmed and we start seeing 10% of the population dying instead of 0.5%.

Thankfully they have also implemented a nationwide vaccination scheme and a vaccination pass which is accepted pretty much anywhere worldwide.
Affinity Designer is a pretty good tool for vector drawings (for 55$ unique payment). It fills the gap between Inkscape and Illustrator.
Crowd source capital??
Loool wow that is hilariously ironic
One way to solve it is to say the final grade for the year will exclude your worst 3 assignments.

Then any technical issues just get awarded a zero, but it doesn't matter because 'it won't affect your grade anyway'.
Merriam Webster's old definition contradicted other dictionaries and actual usage. Probably you heard about diphtheria and tetanus vaccines before 2020. Those are prepared from toxins. And Merriam Webster's virus definition said viruses aren't organisms. So their old vaccine definition excluded anything made from a virus. Other popular dictionaries had better definitions and didn't change them.

The CDC working definition didn't change. They removed a redundant reference to protection from a page for the public because some people claimed it meant anything under 100% effective isn't a vaccine.
Sadly it is only available to US residents :(

> Ah, well here comes the problem - if your dependency changes a major version but your code seems to continue to run correctly, i.e. tests pass, how much more time do you need to spend to investigate the cause for the major version change?

You need to investigate the reasons for a major version change before updating the dependency and running tests any time one occurs, to see if any documented behavior you are expecting has changed.
The more you zoom in, the better Mercator should be. That's a big part of why Web Mercator exists: there are no other options beyond mercator if you want a projection where north is always up, and right-angle street intersections look correct at any latitude. You can't notice the scale difference when zoomed in somewhere.

Going super close to the poles should be a challenge for both mercator and equirectangular projections, but at least Mercator won't distort shapes at the same time (and neither is globally accurate for area).

I'd love to be pointed into the direction of this socialist internet to try it out, because the only internet I'm familiar with is run by corporations that could be straight out of Neuromancer with a bunch of aging hobbyist communities hanging on for dear life in the crevasses
right，an internal rezeroed south east system makes it match the graphics system. So pixel positions and coordinates covary and are always positive. It makes debugging a million times easier

More radical would be to go from degrees to the 0 UINT_MAX range and have your unsigned values automatically wrap around. You'd have the range wrap around naturally. But it's nice to have degrees for debugging and it's not tied to a type so you can have arbitrary precision. I also think you'd still have corner cases to deal with (but I'll have to think about this some more)
Every device work by that definition. The question is about browser support without installing additional software.

Here's my anecdote. In my country we use certificates to access government services. There are USB smartcards for secure storing and using those certificates. As there's no browser API to interact with smartcards, I'm forced to install their software. That software works only with installed root certificates (it uses https websocket on 127.0.0.1 to interact with browser). Few weeks ago they released new version and for some reason they decided to host it on a completely unrelated site owned by some private person. This is complete security madness, not even theater.

So no, smartcards don't work. They're terrible from security perspective compared to native browser support, as they force user to install untrusted software with full access to the system and terrible security practices.
Opt-in safety has such a great track record after all.
I see you have a bright future in marketing: the actual facts didn’t change at all, but it now sounds twice as fast!
The political subreddits get political, yes. And hot-topic ones.

But the subreddits for your favorite band or hobby are alive and healthy.

HN’s culture might be “preserved” but it’s not perfect. Personally, it irks me how humorless this place is. Jokes are often not allowed here.

Momentary dip. It recovers after a few months as long as you aren't doing anything else to mess up your score like not paying bills. I guess some people love those perfect credit scores but honestly anything over 750 is fine for most things even getting a mortgage.

Affinity seems like it doesn't have some of the more precise layout tools and SVG-editing capabilities that Inkscape does.

I took the trial after seeing people suggest it as an alternative, but it didn't quite replace my workflow and I ended up dropping it.
This is mistaken, sort of. The first day was prior to this by many months. The “past” link doesn’t let you get to it unless you manually edit the url. Think of it like a secret Easter egg.

I’m on mobile but maybe I’ll do it later. Or one of you could claim the honor of discovering and sharing it.

Initially I suspected that all the people on the actual-first-day weren’t actually people — that pg seeded HN during its early days, much like Reddit, with multiple personas that only seemed real at a glance.

But now I think pg emailed a link to all@ycombinator.com and those initial users were the people from the 2005 batch. Then they collectively lost interest (which accounts for the multi month gap) at which point pg made it public as Startup News.

I would give a hint on how to find the real first day, but I think I like leaving it as an open puzzle. As a hint, pay close attention to the URLs on the page that this submission points to.
That's a very interesting definition of "liberal"! They were about as liberal as the british parliament at the time, and that I cannot call liberal in any sense of the word.

Oh, that's a fun one; my document property tab disappeared once and I wasn't able to retrieve it. I don't know if that was when I started having issues, but no amount of reboots without the document property tab felt like it fixed it for me.
With benefit of hindsight, turns out there was never a risk of 10% of the population dying. The disease isn't that deadly, even if the hospital system did give out (and the numbers I've been looking at seem to suggest that the risk of the hospital system giving out was oversold - it didn't look fun but it also didn't seem to buckle enough to justify the authoritarian response in my eyes).

If I were being uncharitable towards people who basically put me under a form of house arrest - which I am - I might note that the government will only revoke my rights in a way justified by your poor grasp of the figures some of the time. Which is hardly comforting when people argue that strong governments will somehow protect me from a threat that only emanates from government. This "strong governments protect rights" argument is weak. Nobody has ever threatened my rights as profoundly as my strong government.

Maybe "rights" is too strong a word, they're only applicable for about 90-95% of the time. "Privileges which only get stripped when they feel it is a good idea" is a mouthful though. The dust hasn't even settled enough to tell if the interventions worked.

Anyway, they shouldn't be reading my mail. These people clearly don't represent the interests of a big chunk of the population. And me.
This repository is much larger than it should be, downloading over 42MB and taking over 100MB of disk space, mostly because you’ve included over 53MB of video files that are demonstration screencasts. These files do not belong in the main code repository: taxonomically they’re more marketing material than code, and they’re large enough that they make other things more difficult; they should be stored separately, e.g. in a separate repository (such as the corresponding .wiki repository, on GitHub), or uploaded through GitHub’s editor and referred to that way (not under version control).

There’s also create-rust-app_cli/template-plugin-dev/.cargo/admin/dist, 8MB of compiled artefacts, which looks like it doesn’t belong in version control either.

For best results, please remove these files from the repository, including all its history (git-filter-branch or whatever). Then the whole repository would be under a couple of megabytes, and much more palatable.

(When you’re on the other side of the world from where the repository is being served, downloading that 42MB repository can take several minutes rather than the 10 seconds I might hope for based on my typical download speeds.)
Each time you are adding more immutable data to the Blockchain, which cannot be undone. Each of your identities - to which all of your digital content is tied - is permanently associated with that ID.

So if you just have throw-away wallets, how do you use that with your content? You cannot "own" your content if you keep having to abandon wallets to get a fresh advertising ID. And if you keep several different compartmentalized wallets around, as soon as you move something from one to the other or use a different wallet with the same login, you have permanently and irredeemably linked those identities.
I can't tell what you're suggesting about "URL", can you be specific?

Reminds me of this urban legend:

The VP of marketing of ebay realized that the keyword for which they spent the most money was "eBay". He thought this was nonsense and that people who looked for eBay should know how to get to their website, so he decided to save some marketing money and stopped putting money on they keyword. Result: no changes in the amount of visit to the website. However, the click-through rate, which is the metric by which marketing department was measured, decreased significantly. So the VP was fired and they even increased the money spent on the keyword.
It’s not a solution, it’s a work-around. A solution would be fixing this issue. This allows working around the issue if you remember that it exists.

It’s like saying that it’s fine if an appliance might randomly burn your house, because there’s a button you can press to not burn your house.
