We know there is an ongoing issue with MS's relationship with .NET OSS ecosystem, but in this case I am totally fine with this. I proved the need of a code-first, highly extensible/customisable reverse-proxy (vs other approaches with config only and/or scripting). I also discovered on my journey there where things that needed to happen in layers I couldn't control nor influence (e.g. HttpClient, Kestrel etc) that YARP team could get done. I expressed these things when I had a meet with the team.

Ultimately we got a solid product with a not-too-dissimilar API and I have one less thing to maintain :)
> Matthew Walker's book is the one I'd go to.

Personal anecdote here. I've read his book. It's good, it's interesting, and it made me realise how much more I should try to get more and better sleep. I'm a night person. For months I tried each and every technique out there to move my sleep schedule back since I have to wake up in the morning against my natural rhythm.

I started panicking and I went from 4-6h sleep per night + 8-10h on weekends to 2-4h during the week and about 6h on weekends. My whole life took a turn for the worst until I made the decision to stop the madness and go back to my previous, insufficient, sleep schedule.

This is not ideal by a long shot. I'm permanently sleep deprived, but at least not to the point where I can't even function.
See parent’s links, Samsung is very proud of their automatic content recognition (ACR) and ad retargeting technologies. I also remember the tv scanning your network and hdmi devices to figure out what you own and add to your advertising profile.
Samsung probably won't care, no matter how popular this story gets. Samsung is the de facto "Not Apple" device. They will have customers flocking to them. They don't need to do anything. They just need to stay a step ahead of LG (lol) and Motorola (double lol). It's hard to overemphasize how big their moat is. If you look at a list of "Top Android Phones" Samsung is always in spot 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, etc. (they lose a few positions to Google sometimes).
Absolutely. I'd happily use password-only services. Because I'm willing to take responsibility of losing my own password. I hate it when someone forces me to use 3rd party services, usually not very secure, when it's not really required by logic.
I'm confident this is a means to cheat performance benchmarks, because some of those will run tests using those flushes to try and get 'real' hardware performance instead of buffered/cached performance.

I wonder if a small battery or capacitor on these devices would work to avoid data loss.

> They can’t innovate because innovative type people weren’t let into the company.

I am starting to think this is a broader trend in human societies and is probably the primary failure mode of human enterprise more broadly.

People who aren't inclined to creative rational problem solving must still produce labors for the masters if they do not want to starve in the street like the examples we leave there to suffer publicly as a reminder of the cost of disobedience.

So, they obfuscate and manipulate the perception of competence and disenfranchise the creative rationalists to survive in the forced competition for artificially scarce basic necessities.

This evolves incrementally until there is no remaining economic activity except theft and fraud, the creative rationalists evacuate to the frontier, everyone else follows as things start sucking less over there, and the cycle begins anew.
No.

Of course, there's always the definitional question of "what is traditional?" because you can obviously 'go back' to different time periods, and perhaps in one of them what you're suggesting was true. But in this case, we're talking about cutting-edge/high-prestige tech companies vs 'traditional' non-tech companies in a modern context.
The "Show HN" tag should only be used for showcasing your own projects. I recommend you edit the title to remove the "Show HN" bit.
I agree with everything you say except the bit where the failure rate is a fantastic KPI. It has room for improvement.

> they have a requirement in most areas to be airborne within 30 minutes when called. [...] "percentage of the time where maintenance can't get an aircraft ready to be flying missions in less than 30 minutes".

The problem with this KPI is that it's completely arbitrary. Why does it have to be 30 minutes, and not 25, or 35? Changing this threshold might change your failure percentage significantly. This KPI is not actually a ruler that measures your performance – it's using your performance as a ruler to measure the threshold, because the easiest way to change the KPI number is by changing the threshold, not the performance.

After all, wouldn't 25 be better than 30? The only reason it's 30 is that someone at some point said it has to be 30.

An arbitrary cutoff limit like 30 minutes (what Deming would call a numerical goal without a method) has one of three effects:

- Either it's really hard to accomplish, in which case the large failure rate is demotivating, or

- It's just about what you can do, in which case it's meaningless anyway, or

- It's easier than what you could technically do, which might inspire dilatoriness: "You can't complain; we're meeting our goals!"

Instead of comparing yourself to arbitrary thresholds, use the raw metric as a KPI instead. Use "minutes until airborne" as the KPI. That you can optimise indefinitely, and it is an honest representation of your current process, not how it compares to a number someone threw out at some time.

I know, I know, the 30 minute number is not entirely arbitrary, it's probably related to how easy it is to keep a person alive. But it's arbitrary in the sense of being a cutoff – for keeping people alive, shorter is always better. There's nothing magical happening at exactly the 30 minute mark.
Wow...

My thoughts were just full of 'No' when I read the headline. It is interesting though to try to evaluate language efficiency.

Surprised to see Go behind C# and also the huge jump from JS to Typescript for example. Also what happened to Python and Perl?

Of course this should not be taken too seriously.

im using kodi myself. i used libreElec for a few years which is basically just kodi as an OS. i switched to a OSMC recently which is a bit more expensive than a raspberry pi but the hardware and then OSMC skin is a bit nicer

i mainly use it with the jellyfin plugin so all of my media is stored on a NAS and kodi just acts as the player
I had a similar experience when I tried to learn Polish; my friends, who knew I was trying to learn, simply couldn't understand what I was saying, and couldn't guess either (and my ear found it very difficult to hear the difference between the expected pronunciation and what I was saying).

My heart wasn't really in it, but I was also very discouraged by this.

That’s a good point, didn’t think about it.

Maybe it’s like the mattress industry: a scam so that you can’t compare or price match the same model at different retails because “it’s not the same model number”.

Samsung's smart tag find network could now or in the future be used to exfiltrate data from their smart tvs that arent connected. Not high bandwidth, so it would have to be OCR or text to speech probably. Just like Amazon's Sidewalk network.
I have a Panasonic from a few years ago (cheapest 4K I could find; is "smart" so has Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and other UK streaming services like More4, ITV Player, Disney+) and it does rely on contacting Panasonic for them to work. Their server went down the other year and ALL of the services on the TV stopped working - Netflix wouldn't launch any more.

It does contact Panasonic but I have blocked the domains with a Pihole and closed outgoing port 53 other than traffic from the Pihole so nothing can make DNS requests directly (eg. hardcoded to 8.8.8.8).

The TV itself is great though. It runs FirefoxOS I believe.

The TV is not as bad as the LG I had before it which sent a web request to LG every time you pressed a button on the remote control... volume up.... web request to LG. Volume down... TV sent a web request to LG.
My cheap Hisense U6G works fine as a dumb TV. It’s not hooked up to my network. I use an AppleTV instead. Got it because it was the best 65” TV on rtings under $1K at the time I bought it.

That's the dispute, they didn't pay. Coinbase met with Martin, listened to their pitch(es), including something about a floating QR code, then said no thanks.

A few months later Coinbase aired a Super Bowl commercial with a floating QR code, and either claims to have created it in-house or created it with Accenture.

The Martin CEO (Cavallo) has every right to be pissed.
I thought it should be obvious. Apple was competing with Google/Android for mobile developers. For Android, you programmed in Java, which everyone learned in school. For iOS, this funny language with smalltalk syntax was a barrier to entry.

So Apple needed a nice language with C-like syntax to woo developers.
I think there already is a rule. Something like "If it's a link to another link, just link to that one."

My suspicion is they do it hoping that people who click it will also follow them on Twitter.

As a guy from Poland working for American and English companies for a while and playing a lot of D&D with Americans. The culture shock is real.

Exhibit 1:

(boss) great job team, could you maybe fix this one thing?
(me) ok, if you say so, I thought we did pretty badly this sprint actually
(my friend) he means that, it's just how British people say you're not doing great

Exhibit 2:

(my american Dungeon Master in the game we play) any feedback on the last session? I want to hear your thoughts.
(me) it was great but I thought that X, Y and Z were kinda boring
(other players) why are you so mean?

Exhibit 3:

(any American person) how are you?
(me) actual response.
(they) shocked.

Exhibit 4:

There was a poll in a huge american corpo I contract for recently, where teams from all over the world had to grade their experience with other teams. Mostly we don't interact with other teams so we don't have any experiences, the matrix is sparse, but we had to put a percentage in every cell anyway. Anglosaxons graded everybody 90%+. Eastern Europeans graded everybody but the few teams we actually interacted with - 50% :) There was a huge meeting for "solving the problems" and people couldn't believe it's normal here :)
You could have tried FreeScout by any chance?
Yeah I agree, whatever they do at work to help you being happier is just gonna be your new normal. Obviously there should be some minimum standards, but saying that being happy makes you a better worker and therefore your employer should worry about you being happy is silly to me, because that comes from the inside. I'm not saying the environment doesn't affect you, but if you depend on external things to be happy you're always gonna come back to a default unhappy state, waiting for more new good things to happen to you. Being happy is a choice.
This doesn't sound horrible at all, in fact tree filesystems look like an anachronism from when disk space was limited, and both the logical layer of naming and metadata of objects, and the management of the data on storage, were conflated into a single data structure.

A DB to contain all the metadata, and blobs or object storage for the content itself (perhaps with backup metadata). The database manages the namespace, object storage manages the storage layer.

You can easily and quickly search file metadata etc, there could be multiple copies of the content, perhaps distributed, etc, etc.
Coinbase did not pay The Martin Agency for the idea. That's what Cavallo is frustrated about.

Currently, I'm approaching this from another angle. Instead of giving training data, I'm trying to use the same inferences vets use to determine if the dog is in pain. For ex: if the dog has flattened ears or grimacing look.

I'm still reading research papers to figure what's the best way to approach this problem. This is just the first step and I'll see what can be done regarding collecting data later on.
>It's not a fetish if you have ever ported legacy code that was not written with portability in mind.

This.

You can code portably and take advantage of platform-specific features or performance advantages.

I used to work on a product line that supported dozens of different UNIX platforms (and, eventually, even DOS protected-mode). The entire build process was portable. We had a primary configuration file for code/libraries and one for server internals that provided for:

. shared memory configuration (if any) and other limits

. BSD sockets vs System V streams

. byte-swapped vs regular processors and little- vs big-endian

. 16- vs 32-bit processors (later 64 bit)

. RISC vs CISC

. vagaries of C compilers, normal flags to pass for optimization, gcc vs cc, static vs dynamic links, libraries etc

. INT / LONG bytecounts, floating point, etc.

. ... and many others.

The goal was to abstract everything possible and have platform-specific code limited to the configuration files. Then, porting becomes fine tuning the configuration files, adding platform specific code to the mainline (with appropriate DEFINES) only when absolutely necessary, test, finalize configuration, test again, post the final config files and any changes back to the mainline.

Linking from HN to paywalled sites does nothing to discourage such site's behaviour. Fine, if you want a paywalled internet just don't suck the life out of the open version.

It's a common complaint that decent websites don't get surfaced on Google - well given so many valuable links are going to cloaked sites such as NYT, it's no wonder?
If your accounting point of reference is permanence in a world that has a limited lifespan due to entropy you are going to make a lot of absurd conclusions and decisions. From the perspective of someone whose accounting reference has a limited life span you might even be considered insane and psychopathic.

For example, gold is a store of value so firing an employee lets you avoid associated with that employee and you can still hire that employee as long as the gold exists, right?? Right?? Everyone knows that gold stops aging and fired peoplee don't need food or shelter.
With a cheap Lenovo the design and manufacturing quality is very low and failures much more common than in their professional models. As a Repair Cafe volunteer I've seen people bring in low-end Lenovos only 1-2 years old, that are literally falling apart, through normal use. The reality is there's really two Lenovo brands - the enterprise-grade one, making products designed for serviceability and durability. And there's the consumer-grade Lenovo, with products engineered to a very low price point. Other brands have this duality too. Caveat emptor.
I'm plenty happy with my Samsung phones, but truth be told, the first thing is that I slap LineageOS on them. Also I'm definitely not an early adopter, my latest purchase is an S9.
> How many times do people need to be told that their assumptions about mobile phones and security are completely wrong. Phone numbers can be reallocated (sim jacking), all communications can be intercepted (by design), smart phones are not themselves secure - especially an older/cheaper phone.

Would you go all that effort to steal a couple dozen dollars? No. The amount of money to be stolen is simply too low to make fraud worth the effort. We're talking about poor farmers in rural areas of Kenya, not Western Bitcoin millionaires.

> This requires a lot of trust. The entire point of having banking infrastructure is to remove the need for trust. Like crypto, with no oversight, how do you know your local 'phone bank' is not a rug-pull?

The local agent is not a bank, they are an agent. If the agent pulls the rug on you (which, again, would be unwise of the agent given that the amount of money is so low), you either complain at M-Pesa or you round up a couple neighbors and rough up the agent.

> Java removed signedness from the type system (by making everything signed)

That's not removing signedness. Removing signedness would be treating integers as sign-less "bags of bits", and just map a signed or unsigned 'view' over those bits when actually needed (for instance when converting to a human-readable string). Essentially Schroedinger's Cat integers.

There'd need to be a handful 'signed operations' (for instance widening with sign extension vs filling with zero bits, or arithmetic vs logic right-shift), but most operations would be "sign-agnostic". It would be a more explicit way of doing integer math, closer to assembly, but it would also be a lot less confusing.
I'm skeptical Google - or even Facebook - are taking screenshots of what average users are looking at.

Sure, they're huge companies - somewhere, some one is probably doing this for some edge case.

Either way - even at FB - I would be highly surprised if this data didn't get auto-deleted within a few weeks (at the latest).

And if you're telling me that Samsung is really that much different - I'm surprised - because there's not any way for them to monetize this data. They're just wasting storage and in the process creating a massive liability for themselves...

Yes, you can loose your job in Germany. But definitely not as easy as for example in the US. Companies need valid reasons for letting people go. And then it doesn't work like: You are fired - this is your last paycheck (only in really, really extreme cases like you stealing from your employer or punching him in the face kind of reasons).

Then there is the fact that for a time after being let go you receive a relevant share of your average salary for the last 12 months from the state while you keep looking for work.

Does it suck to be let go? Sure. Is it the end of the world in Germany? In more cases than not - it isn't.

I work in a company with even stronger employee protection as we have a so called works council. A body representing the workers towards upper management and standing in for their rights. Additionally there are strong unions in some industries in Germany that also help a lot.

Ar there areas where companies sometimes already on the side of illegalities abuse the system and workers - for sure. Esp. in the low wage sector.
I'd guess modern twist nails have a similar effect on the wood to cut nails, with the hard angles of the twist cutting fibres?

Well it's not a ground breaking idea of any sort, it's about providing support for female reproductive health issues. Where I'm coming from female reproductive issues are considered too sensitive to talk in public and sometimes females find it difficult to talk with even with their doctors.

The survey was carried out by females in their reproductive age. And via a questionnaire mostly carried out via LinkedIn.

Well the question is not just for this idea but for any idea, how do you know if a problem is big enough to be solved.

And how do to proceed when there are mixed signals when talking to customers.

TL;DR, simpler mechanics for the irrigation system.

The circular pattern comes from the area irrigated by the simplest configuration of a center-pivot [0], which is a fixed point in the center to access water. "Non-circular" area require linear/lateral movement "center-pivots" that require a way more complex control system, or some kind of booster to cover the "corners of a square".
