Also, at least in civ5, if you want to play online as a DLC-only civ, you can't unless everyone else bought the same civ.

Can you imagine if you could only join fork knife games with your Spiderman skin if and only if every other player already in the game also owned it?

Can you imagine paying $5 for you favorite LoL character then the game rejecting you because you got matched with a player who is only using the free ones?

Dawn of War 2 didn't have this issue. You could choose to not buy chaos but still play against chaos players online.
Terminals are actually very rich interfaces - over decades they have developed features, such as Tektronix and ReGIS graphics, type features (double height, double width), alternative fonts, multiple windows, single-voice sounds, smooth scrolling (cute, but not that useful), and Sixel graphics. All these have been available since terminals were actual boxes on our desks with CRTs built-in. All that is described in the developer manuals for them.

Unfortunately, most of these features are not supported by our terminal applications (Apple's Terminal supports double width and height, at least, and xterm can do Tektronix graphics) and libraries such as ncurses allow us to write software using many of those features having to understand the control sequences (most terminals today look like xterm). If we could push for support to these features, we'd have an already proven, probably supported by ancient software that we run today but that we never saw as intended, set of standards and functionality we could rely on. If all terminals, for instance, supported sixel graphics (a horrible standard, BTW) or DRCS (a meh one), we wouldn't need font support for character graphics (Unicode v13 has new Teletext block graphics, and 4x2 mosaics will be added soon, and libraries such as VTE implement those without font support) or "powerline" symbols.
Trisk Bio | Software Eng, Hardware Eng, generalists, ops | London, England | Full-time | ONSITE

We are looking for: hardware and software generalists; general generalists; mechanical, fluidic, and biochemical engineers; biologists; bioprocessing scientists.

We recently raised an $11M seed round, from top-tier investors and founders from the USA, mostly SF.

We are building in Stevenage, UK (https://twitter.com/gaurav_ven/status/1489891501459091458?s=...) - a short train commute from Central London (28 min), or East London (21 min), or Cambridge (37 min). Being on-site is important for what we do. We sponsor visas and hire globally.

We're building a new kind of fully-automated 'scale-out' manufacturing facility for biologics.

Our goal is to allow therapeutics companies to manufacture production-scale batches of product in many parallelized, benchtop-scale pieces of kit. This matters because 'scaling-up' from bench-top to production is crazy difficult and stochastic, and causes biological innovators to lose control over their products.

We are a very small team with expertise across biology, regulatory affairs, mechanical engineering, and physics. We intend to keep the team small through construction of our first manufacturing facility. We have a history of working together to accomplish difficult things, including getting mass Covid tests deployed across the UK (https://twitter.com/Dominic2306/status/1410734875708063746).

We hire people above roles. And we hire for values above specific skills. We value: courage; curiosity; motivation; resourcefulness; taste; commercial orientation; playfulness; technical excellence; the ability to both ideate and execute, and the judgement to know when to do which.

So reach out! We very much look forward to hearing from you.

Although I agree that screenshots will attract some people, it's Qt. The look and feel won't be any different from any other Qt application (or better, it will be completely dependent on theming, so the pictures won't even reflect what you get.)
Yes exactly. You need something to attach the panel to (unless you've got magic to float it in mid air lol). You can repurpose an old canvas/acrylic board, or go fancy with a custom 3d printed case.

Thing is, you could glue the panel to something as people have done. I find that detestable because you can't remove the panel non-distructably. A proper enclosure can hold the panel instead of sticking to it.

Ask HN: Investor signed SAFE but stalls on wiring the money
Dear HN: An angel investor who came through an inbound intro signed a YC-standard template SAFE on favorable valuation with us where the expectation was the funds would be wired quickly. But after that the investor is stalling/deferring the wire by a couple of weeks, even as we go to raise at higher valuation from others.

What are our options as a startup at this point if we don't want to work with this investor ? The investor has a fully signed SAFE (after doing due diligence), but just hasn't sent the funds.

We have revoked that investor's access to even see our wire details at this point because we don't want to work with this investor if it can be avoided. So if this 'investor' is never able to actually send the funds in a far out future, what happens to that signed SAFE ? How does it get revoked or expire in the absence of funds being transferred ?

>Churchill’s comment that in wartime “truth is so precious that it must be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies”.

1) We're not currently at war

2) Don't forget that the man you're quoting is responsible for the end of the British empire and arguably got Britain into a war with Germany unnecessarily (remember that Hitler's ideology was heavily based on race and he saw the British as close to the Germans. He even intentionally let their army go at Dunkirk because of this.)

I explained ways to avoid this. Write `secure` for the subject and include the actual subject in the encrypted message. Propose an RFC to include an encrypted subject in the headers. Encrypted the subject line. I don't think this is valid considering that there are solutions.

Yeah I agree; DS 3 is a lot more versatile in terms of playstyle than Bloodborne and especially Sekiro is.

DS3: Dodge, shield block, shield parry, stick to ranged attacks, heavy armor, your choice.
Bloodborne: Dodge or parry with a gun, which sometimes works.
Sekiro: Deflect or you die. Lrn2play noob.

I'm oversimplifying probably, but the point is DS3 is the most versatile while Sekiro is the least. That said, as one overly long youtube documentary took an hour and a half to say, Bloodborne's restrictions in playstyle can actually make you a better Dark Souls player. For a lot of players, they get a sword and shield and that's how they expect to have to play - defensive, turtling, slow, etc. But Bloodborne actually rewards aggression; if you get hit in that one, you can regain some of your lost health by damaging the enemy.
It's a good idea to increase the budget and bid on Reddit, since I saw more results there - also 2 conversions (as opposed to 0 from FB). I will try it. Thank you!

This is correct to some extant, and not just for getting education. As an example, in many competitive exams conducted by universities etc. to select students, the selection cutoff marks clearly show this pattern of intentional discriminatory admittance.

For someone belonging to "general" category, anyone designated to an upper caste, the cutoffs percentage for selection could be as high as 97-99%. For "reserved" category candidates, those from the lower castes, the cutoff can be as low as 10-20% for the same test. This means someone scoring 95% would not get get an admission offer while someone else scoring 15% would.

This reservation system is also a part of government jobs. I have seen "reserved" teaching positions being filled by candidates who score negative marks in the selection exams. But since no other type of candidate can fill the reserved position, the highest negative score gets the job.

Does this really alleviate the issues borne out of historical oppression of the lower cast, I don't know. Perhaps. Is this overall a good thing for a nation and its people? Again, I have no idea.
Is this a valid comparison? The S in SOM isn't supposed to stand for "speed". (The real S is arguably adversarial to that goal.)

How does Strongtalk fare, for example?

(NB: Just asking. I'm actually not a fan of closure-heavy code. I tend to root them out during code review.)
One thing I haven't figured out with Firefox. I have two profiles, one for personal stuff and one for my work. Having both profiles running at the same time requires two instances of the Firefox app to be running. Is that correct / is there anyway around that?
That's the real secret, I think, keeping content up to date. Text isn't the only medium that can be treated that way, too. My family converted lots of analog audio and video tapes to DVD some years ago, and I immediately turned around and ripped them to digital, lossless types and stored them on a few hard drives and eventually a cloud backup. Will FLAC and MP4 last forever? Nope, probably not, but if I check in on these files every few years, update the players that I've saved (VLC), and periodically convert them to newer formats, I feel comfortable that my grandchildren will be able to hear their great-great-grandparents' road trip to California, or see video of my bar mitzvah on whatever screen they're using years from now.

They make a absolute fortune from that real estate and as others have said, if you have a plot of land in that location big enough to build on that has only ever had relatively shallow construction on it, you should 1) expect to find evidence of Roman occupation or evidence of plague burials and 2) expect to pay for the inconvenience.

I have absolutely no problem with them being required to cope with this themselves. There's a lot of history there and with the density of development in that area, there is really only one chance, each time, to do something about it.

For most developers this is priced in -- including when it's a state-sponsored project.

All around the UK there are plots of land that developers have acquired at an attractive price through sketchy regional development corporations, then gone bust (only to reemerge without debt) and the sites left as great big holes in the ground. In the town where I live there is a site that has been like this for two decades; it's gone through several developers, more than a couple of which had rather beneficial terms.

Major developers do not care when they walk out on a site if it is mildly inconvenient or not quite profitable enough; the least standard they should be held to is to pay for the costs of preserving our past when the site they have secured will ultimately make them a fortune as they lease off square footage to shady foreign investors!
I am selling physical products that cost (quite a lot of) money to create and send. I need to sell them otherwise, I can't sustain the project
> PowerShell got this right

I think it's more of a trade-off between portability & ergonomics. PowerShell wins on ergonomics, but that also commits the developer to a fairly large binary encoding interface when something smaller would do. Windows does more of the lifting for me, but it also locks me into their ghetto. And even if the whole object encoding format were already wrapped up into a nice MIT licensed library, I might not want to commit to another dependency just to output a little text.

The nice thing about text is that (with UTF-8 at least), I don't have to worry about endianness (like when ssh-ing something over the wire, to a machine with a different OS and/or architecture), and we know not to trust it. Serialization/deserialization has a cost, but not a terribly steep one.

I believe the bazaar has won for a reason here.
Other countries don’t put their “war criminals” on trial either. I witnessed another country violate the Geneva Conventions. Politically it was pandemonium, when the city found out, there were riots. No one went to jail or put on trial. Statements were taken, the guy got off with a slap on the wrist by his own country and some cash moved between hands to smooth things out. My point is, the US isn’t something special here, they’re just more transparent about it and/or journalists get more clicks for talking about it.
> But it’s a few thousand dollars if that (as low as under $1,000) which is reachable to all but destitute families.

It seems that more than half the families in the US are "destitute" then (https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/most-americans-cant-afford...) and it's been bad for years (https://abcnews.go.com/US/10-americans-struggle-cover-400-em...)

Idiotic or not, it's widespread in academia.

And some would argue that there are fairly objective ways to define "power"

Personally I'm on the fence about these definitions but it annoys me to see people dismiss them as "idiotic" without engaging with the level of serious thought that has been put into them by sincere people.

Disagree once you've spent a day or two surveying the subject. Or even an hour or two.
Sorry, didn't expect that to sound like such an ad-hominem.

How about: the attitude that the code appearance trumps the project goals, is central to the confusion that breaks code review?
Tech's crackdown on Russian propaganda is a geopolitical high-wire act
Sure, but what constitutes an "invasion" is also very vulnerable to the narrative.
Yeah. It seems like something you could get insurance for, though.

About 30 or 35 years ago my parents were asked by The University of Manitoba for permission to dig a 1 foot trench near the river which bounded one side of their property to look for artifacts of Canadian aboriginals. The plan was do do a long trench across twenty or thirty houses. They answered the letter with "of course you can" or something like that. Got a letter back a couple months later. It thanked them, but said that they were the only ones that answered in the affirmative. Apparently all their neighbours cared more about protecting their future right to build a shed over the priceless history of the people who lived there first.
I have that! I completely forgot that I can check the server logs. Thank you for the tip!
Yes ... exit scams existed long before cryptocurrency or even the Internet.
I wound up writing dupver https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver after getting frustrated with the lack of versioning tools for binary files. One neat thing about .docx files and their ilk is that they are "just" zip files so it isn't hard to add special handling to pull out their contents and run deduplication over that.
The involvement of the west was questionable. Ukraine had a revolution that purged a pro-Russian government. The west should never have been involved after the government changed. Because now the obvious accusation is that it facilitated that change and some leaked info from the Bush government could very well hint at that as they wanted to influence who would become part of a new government. That would not be unusual for the US, on the contrary it is pretty much by the playbook of facilitated regime changes.

And such influence is certainly not in the interest of the people that primarily rose up against corruption.
Yes there is value, but there is also some cost, and this value can be grabbed naturally by using an optimizer that can make use of multiple direction.

Optimizer like O-LBFGS maintain internally a low-dimension quadratic approximation of the cost function, that is updated with each noisy gradient evaluation, and then the optimizer consist of taking a step in the direction that would minimize that approximation.

In the same line of thought, one can ask whether a line-search like in usual optimization algorithms is worth it or not.

The memory cost is usually storing the parameters multiple times and an increase computing cost per iteration. Whether the tradeoff is worth it or not is usually problem dependent. Using a quadratic approximation is more costly than using a linear interpolation but it often pays off when encountering saddle points.

There are also technique like Polyak averaging (parameter tracking, Teacher-Student...) that have some success in Reinforcement Learning, where they help to regularize the energy landscape.

OpenAI "Evolution Strategy" used a low number of random directions, and they found that they needed roughly ~100 (= implicit dimension of the problem) directions to have equivalent performance than backprop, but they were computing the derivative with finite difference instead of forward differentiation.
How do I rationalize it? I simply stated easy observations, which are not obvious to those who mostly form opinion based on the extremely active propaganda.

While I have zero sympathy for the post-2014 Ukrainian regime (it's really far from being a cute little democracy as portrayed by the Western media) and I am fed up with the Western hypocrisy (simply compare the number of invaded countries and how those invasions were performed), based on information I have, I think that Putin has made a huge mistake and miscalculation based on a wrong understanding of situation inside Ukraine, which has evolved significantly in 8 years (not without a bunch of PsyOps help from the West).

Currently I mostly form my opinion based on a number of Telegram channels (I will keep them to myself) and I do not watch ANY TV channels be they in Russian, Ukrainian, English, or other languages. I prefer mostly objective channels which simply repost videos and reports from those on the ground. Also after I see several blatant fakes on a channel or wild speculations, I quickly unfollow it.
My responses to him grew shorter, and I started to build a cocoon of politesse around myself. Inside it, my taste for life started to return. As more of the outside world came back into view, it got easier and easier to back farther and farther away.

I first quite related to this, as I've experienced that to extract myself from unsolvable passion I had to "make a dignified sense of it all", and notably force myself to rebase the relationship onto a very polite and detached one (and God is it hard and painful).

But then this quite made it suspicious :

Even after he knew I had met someone else, he continued to contact me periodically

..so she might have solved it through a new relationship after all.
>Were you using it on Linux or something? Or maybe with very large documents

~250 pages, ~100 images, not something I expect a modern computer to struggle with. We used the web version on Linux sometimes, but I think it also happened when we didn't.

>I have seen undo history go away when edits collide with multiple users, but that’s really the only way it could work. And you can still view old versions of the doc if you need to retrieve/restore something.

The other way is like git does it, manual merging and conflict resolving. I don't think there's a way around that once you work with enough people together on a file.

Use Markdown. There are zero disadvantages when compared to pure text files as it's plain text but with syntax and extra features on some text editors.

The main advantages of writing plain text files:
- source control
- view/edit anywhere
- doesn't get deprecated (Lindy effect)
- easy to share
- small size

There's no reason to use suites like MS Office and Google Drive unless your team is routinely using it or you need a WYSIWYG editor for publishing. Google Drive sometimes is bad for collaboration, user has to open link, login or install app compared to just sending the damn text. And, for the latter, just do all the creative writing in plain text and later format it or you will lose countless time fixing text formatting.

A lot of people write "you need to do x" as a sort of command, the unspecified reason being the writer's preference. "You need to do x because I want you to". In this case I can imagine other possible reasons. Reasons about which one would want to be discreet.
