I think Powerpoint has much more powerful animations, which allow one to basically do the same thing but without having to duplicate slides, yielding a much shorter and smoother presentation.

My team just does a weekly virtual meeting specifically for those social aspects, we could discuss anything in those meetings but it usually turns into TV, games or movies. As well as occasionally doing office appropriate games like Jackbox and Mario Kart. That might potentially help you and it helps morale and creates team bonding.

> The mRNA technologies are great and do accelerate things, but ultimately, the speed of the Covid vaccine development process was more about...

Nope, the Moderna vaccine was designed in 2 days after getting a full DNA sequencing of the virus. Very rapid design is a particular feature of mRNA vaccines (with the caveat that sequencing to find the right proteins is required).
If you have an area like that, I feel like you don't need full sentences at all.
> Why such a huge, huge majority of UI development today takes place on the web?

Business models centered around the web, like the cloud and SaaS, and because it's the lowest common denominator when it comes to cross platform development.

> Perhaps the explanation is that native GUI frameworks simply haven’t kept up in terms of developer experience. And if you spend some time exploring them, I think that becomes very obvious very quickly.

QML works very nicely, it has a pleasant developer experience, it's reactive and declarative, and it even gives you JavaScript. It's similar to React in those regards, and I prefer it.
I sort of lost hope for CNN after they asked if a jet could have disappeared in a black hole.

Yes and ironically this is very true if you don't drink much. Have two beers in an hour? Honestly you shouldn't be driving (at least for me personally I wouldn't)
This is hilariously wrong. Almost every cab driver I ever rode with in Tokyo would talk to you unless you were talking to someone else, or seemed like someone who didn't want to talk.

Even the one taking my wife to the hospital to give birth was being a television trope of a terrified stuttering teenager while he drove her there. (Despite that being a reservation with the situation being explained beforehand!)

Yes yes, anecdotal. I've also read Japanese-language books by cab drivers (ex: https://read.amazon.ca/kp/kshare?ref_=r_sa_glf_b_0_hdrw_ss_A...) and the idea does not come up — ever.

So yeah maybe an issue in some parts of Japan but not in Tokyo.
This post was #1 on hacker news yesterday for a bit, flagged, and now it's been unflagged many hours later. I wonder what's going on there. I didn't have to go "read" about a 'consperacy' online for that, I just saw weird stuff happening right here on this site.
Yup, it may change the circumstances of their drinking but it isnt going to change their (literally) toxic relationship with alcohol.

I have been revisiting that same question for many years!

In the last year I have been using x6 from AntV for animated/interactive graph visualisaton. It is outstandingly powerful and well designed (like all their libraries) - but unless you can read Mandarin you'll eventually be using a translator to read the docs/issues, and reading the code to figure out APIs. That said, I've been able to quickly build out things that I didn't think possible before with x6 and their other libs.

Recently I've also had a good experience with react-flow from webkid - who also make excellent stuff. I'm using this in MDX components for modular documentation. It's quick and simple to create an animated graph visualisation from a JSON representing the graph.

I have on my to-do list to make a mermaid -> react-flow component
Also if anything rather than enabling it is exposing pre-existing issues with greater clarity.
I must say, the US seems to have a fetish for Japan as Japan has a fetish for the US. It's cute.
Let's not change the subject with some whatabout-ism. We are talking about CNN.
Yes, the article is a bit black and white. Of course it is possible to lose things in Japan. There are a lot of bad guys and girls there.

I lived there, worked there. I once dated a girl who turned out to have mental health issues. She probably had a sociopathic disorder; often she would just walk into a store and steal groceries. She had money, in fact she was doing very well financially. And yet she stole.

The other time, she came back with a bike she stole from a JR station. She kept it for a few days and then left it somewhere. When necessary, she stole again, again and again.

Japan is strange in many ways. Bikes are registered and have something like a "number plate" (that's a sticker on the frame). I have experienced several police checks myself. I was stopped with my bike every time the police was doing random checks. The police checked the registration and asked me many questions - I guess because of racial profiling (Japan is a very racist country). Why am I telling this? This girl was also stopped a few times with the stolen bikes, but she had this "thing" where she could keep a cool head in such situations and lie/convince people easily. She never felt any consequences for her actions.

To make it short; It was a horrible time dating her. Thank God this "relationship" didn't last too long.
You are downvoted I guess because of the not common sentence (not exactly sure as you even say some of them)? But I only heard of epstein barr from House (or ER, not entirely sure; some US show anyway) and started reading; seems herpes is connecting all these (at least here) puberty things like mono and different types of herpes and indeed ebv. They all apparently are herpes viruses and indeed, like you say can cause an array of cancers (dementia I could not find but the cancer link was made in a lot of scientific and gov papers). So herpes is rather important to destroy as it (and that included ebv) never goes away and 90%+ people have it. Which makes it easy to make the joke ‘these days everything causes cancer’ which is probably true because if you get old enough, you will develop cancer, but it does not mean we should not try to prevent some of the ways it works. So anyway, never thought ebv is common as I never heard of it in my country but that is because it is confused or piled on with mono (seems the symptoms are similar) and I know quite a lot more about herpes in general. So thanks and you are right; let’s do something about it, but also about the other diseases they mention as they are common in some country; all my Vietnam colleagues and their family had Dengue for instance and it is not good.
Hot take on WAFs...

Your application has to be made secure, the WAF cannot do it for you.

At best a third party managed WAF provides speed for sticking plaster to be put over a newly discovered vulnerability, but as all WAFs can essentially be thought of as advanced string parsing without the context of what your app thinks of as good or bad, then there will always be some false negatives that affect your app.

Security engineering cannot be purchased as an afterthought, it needs to be something your engineers practise as commonly as observability and testing.
Show HN: CxO Industries
This is the MVP of a web app I made to help founders start successful companies. The idea is to provide tools to assist founders, such as:

- Business model development
- Recommendations based on your current business context and your own role in it
- Add recommendations as tasks

There are more features in the works too, such as automated answering of common questions. I also want to add far more recommendations than are currently available.

The tech stack is:

- Flutter (front-end)
- Nim (back-end)
- PostgreSQL (DB)

The web app's UI is actually written on the back-end in Nim, and rendered by Flutter. You can only launch the app once you've logged in. I'm planning to make this tech available as Open Source, and you can join a wait-list if interested: https://nexusdev.tools/

Feedback on CxO Industries, but also the tech behind it, is welcome.
It sounds like it's probably an insurer specific thing so I'd check the small print. I'd be very surprised if it was a legislative thing.

Ask HN: Pro bono advice from copyright lawyer?
I am considering building an app for gamers to compete with each other in a single-player game. The app does not interact with the game's source code in any way - it is entirely separate. I plan to monetize the app.

The game's EULA forbids any derivative works. I've been googling a lot and it seems that some derivative works are considered 'fair use' - for example, game-related content from creators on youtube and twitch. Is my app going to be considered 'fair use' too?

Is there any copyright lawyer who could help me understand if my app is going to infringe the game's copyright?

Thanks in advance!!!

> I have been running linux on laptops for years and I don't even pick my laptops to run linux spefically.

That is very surprising to me because I have owned 8 computers in the last 18 years; I have tried to run desktop Linux on all of them and I have yet to have an experience where I haven't had wide variety of issues with all of them. I have also yet to meet anyone who is happy with running Linux on their computers, even those whose preferred desktop operating system is Linux (as is mine). The people I know were the happiest are those who ran it under Virtualbox as their main OS for work (while running the Virtualbox itself on macOS or Windows obviously) because then they only have to worry about it working on Virtualbox and even then they encounter issues all the time.

> My last laptop was a surface pro and Linux ran with 0 issues and that is pretty esotoric hardware in the laptop space.

Then, you are probably the luckiest desktop linux user to ever exist. Cherish it while it lasts.

>The release of the first version of Linux on M1 mac is weeks away.

I assume it is just like how the year of the linux desktop has been every year forever.

>With the only major things not working beeing the GPU and bluetooth.

These have been issues on desktop Linux forever throughout all these years. If you think it will be suddenly fixed on a completely new platform that came out last year, I can only tell you that you will need to be prepared for disappointment. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work without major problems in any platform in 2042.

>Why would Apple first create more work for them to unlock the bootloader

It doesn't take more work to unlock the bootloader. They don't lock it because they don't expect anyone to be able to make anything else work... so having it locked would make them look bad without the benefits. If people do manage to make other operating systems work, their cost/benefit equation will change significantly and they will take steps to block it.

>play a prank on the Linux community?

Why do you think people working at Apple would even consider that Linux community is somehow remotely relevant to their business?

This was in Canada, in a "big" city, with it's own police foce. I don't know that its representative of all police forces - this was obviously one the consultants had got to. (Though as an aside, canada doesn't have many smaller police forces anymore, smaller municipalities all outsource, e.g. to the OPP in Ontario so they may mostly have similar practices).

The only other time I was at a police station was when my car was stolen 20 years ago, and it was very different, with an actual receptionist and a place you could sit down and talk to an officer.

Zucker's success in the media/entertainment industry is baffling because his reputation is basically as a wrecking ball. I have not seen any praise of his stewardship of NBC which made his selection as the person to run CNN bewildering.

One can only speculate about how he landed the position, but none of it seems to be based on observable successes at what he was paid to do.

As you can see most of queries are completed in a way below 500ms. Adding another 20-40ms on top that doesn't change anything, because caching is a thing and with Unbound you can even ask to actually refresh the expiring records, so you would be served a fresh one from the cache every time, though I never bothered with it, it works fine even without it.
I tried that and after few months I'm going back to Linux or I'm bying mac. I'm using Win 11 with WSL. Sometimes WSL can't start and I need to restart. Sometimes it start taking too much of procesor and memmory and I need to restart... One day it will be probably alright but not yet unfortunatly.
Russian tech workers are fleeing the country
I’m just surprised that so many people on HN seem to have cable at all. If you asked me what I thought of any of the news networks on cable, I’d give you a blank stare, they haven’t been relevant to most techies for more than a decade now. The only reason FoxNews is winning the ratings battle is that older (and more conservative) people have been cutting the cord much slower than younger people.

The polarization and desperate rating grabs are merely a death throw of an industry that has lost relevance.
In my experience, NYC cabbies (those who drive actual licensed yellow cabs) are virtually always wearing an earpiece chattering away on bluetooth the entire time, paying no mind to your existence. Uber/Lyft drivers, however, seem to be a mix of those who clearly are just there to drive and want no part of you ala cabbies, and those who will actively engage you in conversation even if you don't initiate it or even show reluctance to engage. My last lyft driver recounted to me, virtually unprompted, several long and amusing anecdotes of his experiences driving strippers to bachelor parties.
Sorry, I've never heard of such a decorum or rule in London and I've lived there or around for 25 years. Not that I would go out of my way to have with a conversation with a cabbie, i prefer to mind my own business.

> Honestly we need operation warp speed again. It needs to just never stop, at least while we are in such a critical stage and massive amount of virus spread. We need the government and the billionaires/trillionaires to bankroll parallel development of all major variant boosters at once.

This makes sense defense-wise, as well, because the arms race in vaccine development is also an arms race in producing vaccines for diseases you intend to use as weapons. A disease a group has a vaccine or cure for, but no one else does, could be weaponized.
You are of course correct, but speed does give an upper bound on how quickly you decelerate. Anyways, I got curious and looked up accident statistics in Denmark [1], and only ~10% of accidents that result in fatalities happen on freeways (where speed is highest), ~56% happens on country roads (second highest speed and more objects that will decelerate you quickly) and the remaining happen in the city. The authorities estimated that excessive speed played a major factor in 43% of the accidents.

I guess this limitation is on the size of the request body and including that doesn’t make sense for GET requests?
This is similar to an idea I had many years ago, but goes to a much much higher level. I wanted to make a joystick/incremental encoder/pushbutton by placing an encoder pcb over 4 force sensors, so that one could either act on the encoder single button, or rotate the knob, or move it in different directions without rotating it; a RGB LED ring would give an indication of the values by emulating multi digit precision. Mechanical difficulties and lack of time prevented me from even starting it.
This one however is cool beyond any imagination, kudos to the author for releasing it as FOSS&H; I hope to see it produced some day, possibly also a cheaper version (LED ring instead of screen, no motor, etc) since the BOM cost alone could be discouraging.
Also crappy management
Those downsides would be real, depending on how awkward the set of instructions is, but on the plus side risc-v should be able to handle a lot more instructions per cycle in a given power/area budget.
Adding capacity enables/encourages more sprawl, resulting in more VMT without additional value created.

I think this explains why I felt odd reading the article.

I guess there were some locations, I'm thinking rural but also just places with dysfunctional taxi regulations, where it was simply the norm to drive drunk before uber arrived. This is maybe a couple of decades longer than it was in places with decent taxi systems. So if you live in one of those areas, then you'd associate ride-sharing with this phenomenon, but if you didn't you'd have considered this as 'normal' a while ago and not see much difference when taxi's got apps.

You see the same phenomenon in reverse, where people talk about ride-sharing as a positive revolution in their lives, and they're just talking about a taxi system that works, which is their experience, but isn't universal.

> I'd just dropped it under my bag

We (wife and me) had a, now hilarious, run through Melbourne Chasing my iPhone which was ‘stolen’ when we were in a restaurant ; we used the Apple find my phone feature and the phone kept moving all through Melbourne. We had told hotel staff to open up a room we ‘knew’ it was in (luckily they did not), we chased a truck, etc etc. It was in our hotel room, under my bag all that time; I set the stolen sound so it must have made a hell of a fuss; it was making alarm sounds until it was empty. Apple find my phone was absolutely worthless in Melbourne, not sure if it improved but it was fun after; I did not know I would or could run this many miles for a phone. Definitely alcohol as a sober me would’ve probably just emailed the insurance and got a new phone.

I don't understand why the need to twist mafia into dress code group. Russian mafia is know entity, so is albanian one. Ukraine mafia exists too. It is just that, dress code is not what would be associated with them.

Huh. They are crowdfunduing vaccine research? That seems a bit red flag. I would assume if it was actually promising, given the potential market, that funding would be easy to come by. Am i missing something here?
Yes, the made up one. Do you think someone who spends $100 to get wasted at a bar and another $30 to get home is less likely to commit domestic violence than someone who can down a whole fifth of whiskey at home with no bartender supervision for $20?

Lyft and Uber do not enable binge drinking, they enable social binge drinking. The violent drunks I knew of growing up were plenty content on getting hammered at home and becoming violent. Most would become violent well after they would have been cutoff by a bartender.
