I caught a gastrointestinal parasite in one journey to Brazil (I should have avoided the street food!) and I am 90% sure that my Spanish doctor just googled what the hell I had when she got the results of the analysis, right there in front of me. I am not 100% sure because I could not see her screen, but the (in)frequency of mouse clicks was consistent with someone going over google and reading a bunch of pages. And then suddenly she started typing a lot and didn't use the mouse at all - switched to her daily medical app, I presumed.

The antibiotics she gave me did the trick. She was young, though.

I think it's a mistake to call Google the most customer-hostile company to have ever existed. This would require them to even grasp the concept of what a customer is. I don't think anybody working there has every seen or met a customer in their life.

They are man-childs that during a lockdown can't even make a pot of coffee of their own, that work on "cool stuff".
It's a tuple of floats that you move slightly towards the closest point it has just seen, optionally with some rate of forgetting.

You shuffle your big ass wad of data, and loop over each element doing the above, optionally decreasing the forgetting rate.

You track the location of your centroids and if your data / loss fn isn't too pathological, they won't misbehave too badly and you have handwavey assurance of convergence... Definitions be damned.
Adults are adults. 18 year-olds who defraud the military face punishment (with due process). Nearly all universities take public money and should stop treating 18 year-olds like children who need to be coddled on publicly subsidized dime.

That being said, most such punishment records should generally be expunged once rehabilitation has been completed. We're all human and make mistakes, and only a pattern of misconduct should be permanently on record.

There's a persistent belief on the Internet that if something is literally true under some strained reading, it cannot be said to deceive. It can.

To "make" roast chicken, unless it specifically says otherwise, implies cooking it, either on its own, or as a prominent and relevant step. "It's the literal truth, I never said 'cook'" is sophistry.

I'm hoping this comes to an end soon with Valve backing Proton due to the Steam Deck. I don't think I'll be upgrading to Windows 11 at any rate, I'll keep Win 10 as long as possible then migrate to Linux and live with the consequences if a minority of my games won't run on it.
1) No credible source alleged that.

2) Those allegations have surfaced around every debate since 2004 (or at least one debate every cycle)

3) Who cares if they were fed lines? Speechwriting isn't their job, nor is memorizing numbers.
Initially, I found this to be insightful.

Then I discovered that the $700 million superyacht Scheherazade can accommodate "40 guests in 22 cabins". I suppose you could fill the hallways with bunk beds as well for your "hundreds of aids, attaches, and visitors".

I don't think accommodating 40 guests is difficult "outside of the largest cities".

Yes, if a company can't follow law, it can't do business. In this case US law and RU law contradict each other. If the governments can't find a compromise (previous attempts for compromise habe been overturned by courts) or won't change legislation companies have to pick how much legal risk they are willing to take.

> This isn’t a flaw in a healthcare system, it’s a symptom of a broken transport system.

Nobody wants to sit next to piss/weed/cig smelling people and get their shit robbed on public transit (see: BART) if they can afford a car instead. Plus, US light rail runs at much slower speeds than places like China due to NIMBYism, so it also takes longer than driving to get places.

> The very least you can do is pay their healthcare .

The very least they could do is come into the country legally. And by the way, a lot of the really crappy jobs are done by legal residents, like garbagemen, sewer maintenance, lineman, etc. Guess what? My local taxes pay for those workers to have good salaries and I'm happy to pay. The US also has a visa for farm workers to come to the US as well.

> national borders create an arbitrary and discriminatory barrier to free movement people and enforce QoL disparities across the world.

Spoken like someone who is privileged and wealthy enough to be unaffected by open borders. Globalization has destroyed the American factory job, along with its high wages, and you still claim open borders are the way forward? Pro tip, don't claim to be morally superior when you work as a software engineer making $$$ that has a huge demand supply imbalance. If you really believe what you're saying then go work in India in a bodyshop making $10k and working 80h weeks, but pay your US cost of living. That's what millions of blue collar workers are facing when you open borders.

Please exit your bubble and talk to some real working class people for once. People like you are like the engineers I meet who openly talk about how self driving cars are going to disrupt the industry as they get into an Uber. Zero self-awareness.
It's publicly available. Look through the bug reports, its easy to find. So many goes unattended for a very long time. Often it takes a long time for someone to get assigned. Then often NOTHING happens. No answers, nothing - often for years.
IIRC tap on it, there's an option to hide it/cancel it/kill it after you tap it once.
Why would they all fail at the same time unless they're networked? Exactly the same bug triggered by the system clock?

I think Full HD was really just to separate from 720p. So if you consider "HD" to mean 1080p and UltraHD to mean 4k, its like saying a "Full v6" and a "v8" or something. For whatever reason it made just enough sense to never bothered me too much.

I'm not sure what the dissonance is? It's much easier to cheat in that sort of interview process than it is to cheat in a more free-form discussion interview. Of course you can simply lie in the latter, but assuming the interviewer is worth their salt they'll be able to ask questions that will be hard to answer if you don't have the experience you say you have. Whereas for algorithms and coding trivia questions you can search for answers online, have someone watching your screen and sending answers, do this bluetooth embedded approach, etc.

Perhaps trees haven't had the time to adjust to 400+ppm CO2?
I'm extremely skeptical of this story, at least as written.

It makes great clickbait, but it doesn't really make sense. Where would someone implant a bluetooth earpiece into their ear? There's not really a lot of empty space in that area unless someone is very overweight and the device is implanted in layers of fat adjacent to the ear, which aren't great at conducting sound. Did someone really wrap an earpiece in some bio-compatible material, put it in someone right before the test (battery life is limited), and that person was then in a low enough level of pain and/or on enough painkillers that they could still complete the test? I'm extremely doubtful.

But the bigger question is: What use is a 1-way communication device? Did the student have a second cheating instrument to photograph the test and send it to someone off-site? Or did they have someone with the test answers reading them off in real-time ("Question 34 - Answer is C")? It seems this would only be useful in an extremely narrow set of circumstances, if it could be pulled off at all.

Really though, why wouldn't someone just grow out their hair or wear a wig and put an earpiece under their hair? The idea of surgically implanting something that could be easily concealed seems like a modern urban legend.
Honestly this doesn't look any better than what we were doing back in 2016-2017. I'm not sure what's novel here.

This is the only video I could find, but we were doing monocular reconstruction from a limited number of RGB (not depth) images AND doing voxel segmentation on the processing side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqy44VSWh3g

Even as far back as 2010 people were doing reasonable monocular reconstruction including software like meshroom etc...the whole of TU Munich also under Matthias Niessner has been doing this for a while.

What's novel here?
> It's just a group that is more concerned about US than common European interest. If it were an independent factor, we would already have own army and there would be no US occupation^H "support" troops scattered at every strategic point in Europe.

US as Europe's whipping boy knows little bounds. The US has repeatedly asked EU countries to stop funding Putin's war machine and fund their own militaries with something substantial. Most EU countries have continued to poo-poo this, forcing US to spend 4% GDP on defense while Germany has gotten away with 1% while funding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Trump was threatening to remove majority of military funding to Germany and they were aghast, "how dare the US not spend their $ to protect us." Of course people like you still somehow make US patronage of your defense into an "occupation." We'd be ecstatic if you actually funded your own instead of making us just to keep international order.
Cool, I was trying it out but couldn't annotate. I could highlight and remove highlights but not add anything else. For example, to add _ to bold. I type '_' and nothing happens. Am I missing something?
You can't, uh, just write a law that overrides the 1st amendment. It's in the Constitution. Any law that overrides the 1st amendment is unconstitutional by definition.
> If you find yourself running "make clean" because it is "too dumb" you've built your Makefile wrong.

What's built wrong is make itself. Because the signal it uses for "this dependency has changed" is the mtime, any change which does not move the mtime forwards will be ignored. Switching between concurrent git branches, for instance.

> Usually it means you've tried to manually re-create the inherent Make rules and have gotten it wrong somewhere.

And pray tell how do you "manually re-create the implicit make rules" when such rules don't exist? GNU Make has implicit rules for C, C++, Pascal, Fortran, Raftor, Modula-2, and assembly. That is, frankly, not much. And mostly outdated.
> VR next. If you don't have an Oculus Quest 2 or realize what a game changer it is in terms of price, power and wireless usability, you really need to get one, no matter what you think of Zuck and FB. It's the next thing. And it'll look clunky as hell 5 years from now. It's the suitcase-sized laptop of the early 90s.

I just got a Quest 2, and totally agree. It's incredible for what it can do for the price. And that it's untethered. Anyone who's into tech or interested in the future of tech should get themselves a Quest 2. The immersion level of games like Superhot VR was totally mind-blowing to me.

I also think it's the future of home workouts. If Peloton's not working on a VR system then they'll be done in five years.
Any Crypto/Blockchain Educational Board Games Around?
Hey everyone! Would like to learn more about Crypto and Blockchain, and I love playing "party games", which are board games like Chamaleon, Cards Against Humanity, etc.

Challenges to learn about this:

There are sooo many fluffy terms in the industry that are probably not that complicated to understand.

These terms make it hard for me and I guess a lot of ppl to get into it.

Listening to podcasts, talking to people, and reading on Twitter is fine, but not as fun as playing a game.

Anyone else with me?

Research:

BGG's top 5 list, I don't find an educational list, or a crypto one.

The games to learn crypto are all online, and mostly to learn how to trade, or "play-to-earn" (which you already need to have a wallet). They don't focus on its concepts and are not across the industry (Defi, Web3, Blockchain, NFTs, etc).

Questions for y'all:

Do you know any board game to learn crypto?

If not: Do you know any board game to learn about concepts, an industry, or a topic?

Thanks for reading, and please let me know if anything needs clarification
Is there something like Oculus but... Well, in control of the user? Or at least less FB-y?
WSL was a clear push to get developers to use Windows by giving them the best of both worlds. Similarly virtual desktops and snap layouts supposedly got a whole lot better with Windows 11, and those are clearly power user features. So some teams at Microsoft clearly care.

As usual Microsoft doesn't show a clear direction, unless that direction is infighting.
> Most people in the US don't even have $1k saved

Most people in the US would, therefore, be extremely incentivised to stay within the law then? If you want financial penalties to be affordable then you get where we are now with offenders accepting the odd fine as part of the game.

I agree with the means test based fine concept but I would make the consequences equally life changing.
OT: What are the main features that make you as a developer prefer a (browser-based or not) IDE over editors like vim/emacs? Does it make a difference if we're talking about professional development vs. hobby projects?

(GNU) Make's advantages include ease of use, a modicum of portability, and support for a variety of different software development command line stacks.

Unfortunately, the shell commands that are typically setup in a Makefile, are rather unportable. They waste a touch of time and space. They can break in surprising ways.

For this reason, I try to write my build tasks in terms of the same programming language as the application language. For example, Grunt for JavaScript projects, Shake for Haskell projects, Gradle for Groovy projects, Rez for C/C++ projects, Dale for D projects, TinyRick for Rust projects, and Mage for Go projects. Leiningen for Clojure projects, SBT for Scala projects. Vast for shell projects.

Make, like Python, suffers from the appearance of simplicity, at the cost of long term maintainability. Ideally both the build system and the main application are compiled. That doesn't have to be a cumbersome process, but rather a guide to identify potential bugs sooner during development.

Make is my first choice for random projects, but only when better build systems are unavailable.
The best new example is a phenomen called Porpoising that came as a sideeffect of the new Formula 1 regulations and shift from aero to downforce cars. When a car goes fast on a straight the car starts to violently hop up and down. Instead of trying to fix it by any means of the governing body they just brush it off. "They might need some new fillings after the race or get a check up for concussions." Insane. [0]

I'm not so sure this is a good idea ... maybe?
Ice baths. It revs up the metabolism. Worked for me.

This one is controversial but I see a lot in here about emotional eating, intermittent fasting, etc. I have Binge Eating Disorder, but only at night. There is one approved drug for BED...vyvanse. Do some googling. It works! But good luck finding a dr that will go that route.

Even if you don't have BED, do you have any symptoms that might be roughly equivalent to ADHD? If so, get diagnosed with ADHD and get a rx for Adderall. It's basically Vyvanse anyway. Just get yourself on a regimen where we do your intermittent fasting in conjunction with the adderal and then make sure you cycle off that on the weekends. Aderall is a wonder drug and I dunno why everyone is scared of it. I love it and have zero side effects. Be safe on it and you'll have no issues. I'm never hungry, lost 150 lbs on it, and feel wonderful.

Zero percent is correct. I'm a GCP customer, and today I received an email from Google with a table explaining precisely how my bill would have changed, with columns labeled, e.g., "List Price $ increase in monthly bill due to data replication", and a corresponding dollar amount. My bill will increase by 5% overall if I don't make any changes.
From your description it sounds like you might be going off the beaten track and hitting problems.

When I was doing C++ on Windows getting a dev environment setup just meant installing Visual Studio with an appropriate Windows SDK version (or the Windows SDK + build tools for a build system).

You can have multiple VS versions installed side-by-side. To get a terminal with environment variables set correctly you just need to use the shortcuts from your VS installation.

For third party dependencies we checked the headers and (pre-built) binaries into the repository. I don’t remember ever having more than a dozen or so in total. It was usually things like boost and zlib.

Having done that you can just point CMake directly at the packages rather than worrying about FindPackage.

Working in tools like Python and Node, personally I often miss the simplicity and stability of this approach.
The only thing I get actively annoyed about in Windows 10 Enterprise is the forced installation of that onedrive crap. You can remove that by making your own image but that is still scummy as hell and not different to bundling Windows media player, for which they got fined.

oh, there must've been a misunderstanding. yes, this particular invasion has been under preparation for at least months if not years; i'm talking about the country going full totalitarian oppressive basically overnight with a few new hastily introduced laws. this botched war has been the catalyst.

note that if not for these laws and arresting people holding blank pieces of paper, there would be a full-blown revolution in moscow now.
Before specialization, yes. And private practice is a lot more, but getting the license is a pain. However, that is still very well paid in a country where you have such great benefits. The American sticker price salaries are not honest when you have to pay for so many things out of pocket (healthcare and education, just to start). I have lived and worked in the US and EU.
The fact that one side of 'The Cold War' collapsed and no longer exists seems relevant.
Ask HN: Coursera Certificates Not Working?
Hello,

Are there any Coursera software engineers or PMs that could help me?

I am currently taking the iMBA, a joint Coursera/University of Illinois @ Urbana Champaign (UIUC) MBA degree: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/imba . To get credit for a UIUC course, you need to show a Coursera certificate from the associated course. However, UIUC insists that the Coursera certificate must come from an automated feed they have with Coursera - you can't just directly link them the certificate online.

I've had no problems for the last 2 years (2020, mid 2021) but starting this year, UIUC is saying they didn't receive my completed certificate from Coursera. I'm trying to work with support but each side seems to point the finger at the other.

I was hoping that there's some Coursera engineer or PM out there that can poke around and see why my completed certificate information isn't making it to UIUC's grading system. Failing that, would appreciate an escalation point.

Apologies for using HN as a support forum, but I honestly don't know where else to turn to.

You can email me at wildervar@protonmail.com
So, by your moral standard, the entire Earth should have isolated the US economy when the US government/military was killing Iraqi and Afghani civilians and destroying non-military targets, right? The entire planet should also be isolating Saudi Arabia for its genocidal war in Yemen? These things are done without the consent of the governed, and these things are often done without even the knowledge of the general public. Economic warfare kills people just as much as bullets and bombs. Poverty is associated with higher death rates and economic warfare creates and worsens poverty.

Been using Linux Mint as primary driver for over a year now. It works flawlessly. I have _zero_ patience for debugging and tweaking my OS. I want to work, not tweak Linux. I used to love tweaking back in Ubuntu 7 Feisty Fawn. Now that I'm in my 30s I don't give a shit.

Take this as a glowing endorsement of Linux Mint. Try it. You won't waste time with bullshit.
