Yup. Tried again from another connection and it was in €. Before posting the previous comment, I verified that there was no currency selector on the pricing page, so there are two separate issues, but not the one I initially pointed.

Ahh, my favorite kind of technical walkthrough. Love it
Do you only ever expect things that were explicitly promised? If you go to a job interview, are you self-entitled because you expect a phone call afterwards even if that wasn't spelled out?
the frequency domain of the frequency domain is just a flipped version of the original image, so that would not work. the idea of frequency-domain based compression is that natural images have little high-frequency information.
I agree. From my experience, a city does not have the budget for public housing, the free market doesn’t value it, and raising property taxes to pay for it is usually contentious.

So that leaves federal funding. Might as well use my taxes to provide funding for public housing projects.
You presumably know at least a few housed people in your life with drinking problems. Why don't they just quit drinking? Why do you think it would be easier to quit drinking while also not having housing?
Consider that they have tried and failed. Where is the contempt in that?
The bottleneck is typically at the server level, not the pipe.

Steam uses BitTorrent, which is built to parallelize downloads - effectively implementing what download managers do. I think Firefox these days also does clever stuff behind the scenes. The result is downloads that complete faster than before, even though the theoretical max speed of any given connection is the same.

Download managers are somewhat old-fashioned simply because modern software learnt from them and now tries their tricks out of the box.
What's the best practices supposed to be for this kind of thing? Satellite phone?
I somehow read the last sentence of the second paragraph as "and she spent the rest of her life uneventfully eating and watching in-flight movies" and was very confused.
NJ EMT here and the guidance we are given is to not run AED while driving as the vibrations can make the analyzer misread. There are probably different types of AEDs to account for this

The article is spot on. Liberal democracies should fund special schooling for a minority of smart kids; just try hard to make it as blind as possible to privileged home circumstances by picking kids up early into the program.
> the smartest ones will close some of those connections if they think they are being throttled, but that's rare.

And some of them reset and restart the download, in case that the bottleneck is neither in the machine nor the server (for example, some routers will throttle long-lived connections).
Oh, Lnav is very cool. Thanks for sharing.
There are at least 3 types of homelessnes and each of these types have different solution:

1) people who have drug and mental issues

2) people (and families) who do not have drug and metal issues
but just bad luck (lost job, released from jail and cannot find job, etc.)

3) people want be to transient (runaways, hanging out and traveling, etc.). Members of this group slowly become group one.

I have a strong opinion that there needs to 3 different solutions which should NOT be mixed (I.e., do not provide shared housing for the first group and second group).
The volume you’re describing is totally doable. We can do custom plans if you’re interested - there’s a contact link at https://pspdfkit.com/api/pricing/.
If you could even get it! Think about all the millions of dollars dealing with the Log4J issues last December. How much has that prompted sponsorship of any logging libraries by the affected companies? Not much, from what I've seen.
The Impact of Meteorites on Earth
The Broadcasting industry has definitely sided with VVC. So 8K broadcast will likely be using VVC along with possibly LCEVC [1] as announced by the Brazilian SBTVD standard.

The AV1 question is harder to answer. One could argue VP9 is good enough and a few more years before it reach 100% VP9 hardware decoding on Smartphone. Of course Google could force the usage of AV1 in the future if they slowly phaseout VP9 video and only support AV1 on Youtube, while using H.264 as baseline. Qualcomm should have AV1 decoding on Snapdragon by late 2022 / 2023. Mediatek are starting to roll AV1 decoding as well. No timeline on encoding and generally speaking I dont expect any mobile hardware vendor to use AV1 encoding in the near future.

Even to this day I still do not believe Apple will support AV1 decode, at least not until Google forced the AV1 usage. That is a very contrarian view not just on HN but generally on the internet. But recent news with MPEGLA and AccessAdvance might have change things bit.

Then the question remains: why not Standard Time?
If my OSS projects ever get traction, I'll probably forward support to a public listserv or web bbs thing. Extra credit for wiring that up to some kind of ticketing and bug tracking thing. Automate the FIFO queue.

Biggest benefit to me will be transparency. Everyone can see exactly where they are in my priority queue.

Huh. Could lead to some fun incentive structures. Want my attention? Then pay me. Like charge $1 per slot. So moving from 100th to 5th place would cost $95. Maybe increase the price-to-slot logarithmically.

Any way. It's nice to dream. A small inhibitor to me working on my OSS fulltime and exclusively is figuring out how to pay for food and rent and insurance while saving humanity (from itself).
Gasoline is the world standard for fueling vehicles, but we know it's not the best option, just the incumbent. Something being the standard doesn't make it the best, and perhaps if people innovated over Excel, it could be better.

For what it's worth, I just moved a dataset out of Excel in to a pg database because what we were asking of it was just a hair more than a spreadsheet should be used for. It is great for collecting and viewing data, but as soon as the first complex filter came in, it fell apart. Something that was doable but challenging for me as a tech guy was not possible for my user, a parent. But a data grid with some simple filters and an export will get the job done, and thanks to tools like postgrest (not just postgres) and a React data grid, I was able to make something infinitely more usable than just a spreadsheet.

We can all agree, Teams is awful.
Do you mean tables when converting HTML to PDF, or simply rendering the PDFs with tables in them?
Nothing is non-political. You do not exist in a vacuum.
Whatever it is, AFAIK, most of its significant patents will expire this decade: https://www.osnews.com/story/24954/us-patent-expiration-for-...
Wow that comparison is really cool. Looking at BPG vs original, you can see some loss of fine detail as the file size cranks down, but you can get an excellent reproduction with an order of magnitude less storage. Seems like BPG is smoothing the image a bit. For example, the space shuttle image has film grain in the sky, but BPG smooths this away.

Significantly better than JPEG at small file sizes... BPG eliminates the obvious color banding and does a much better job preserving detail.
That's largely by design. The campaign to end public housing has been going on for decades on multiple fronts.

It's not an exaggeration or even unfair to say that sociopathic wealthy lobbyists (like, e.g. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Foundation) are both causes of the current homeless crisis and seeking to exacerbate it.
Poverty is a money problem.
I love that you're using Treesitter. I haven't followed the editor space much, but afaik, this is one of the first to implement it. The demos I'd seen were very impressive - definitely going to give it a shot!
I'm not so sure about that. Netflix has enough in-house experience in recommendation algorithms that they could pull something together without purchasing a 3rd party solution.

Plus you'll have two problems with Profiles. One, each user could have their own profile and therefore machine learning isn't going to detect abnormal viewing patterns. Two, some people choose to share a single Profile and so it'd be unpredictable whether you could deduce unusual viewing habits from that.

It's likely they will go based off of unique device type and location/IP. If you have a Smart TV streaming from an IP that's 3 states over, it's more likely to be sharing than if it's a phone.
Yes, I was expecting "a technical walkthrough" of how H.264 managed to improve on its predecessors. There’s nothing specific to H.264 in the article.
You don't want general purpose languages for IDLs, full-stop. You need straightforward parsing, that is easy to standardize and implement, with some guarantees about bounded execution. That means no recursion, usually means no or limited loops, ideally single pass parsing, actual context-free grammar, etc.
Sorry, wrong term. I meant FOSS. There is some software I can justify paying big bucks for (although the list is getting increasingly shorter thanks to better and better FOSS projects). But Emacs with zero licenses at all, and being the most customizable text editor on the planet? Vim, with the most innovative and speedy keybindings? What a steal.

Don't get me wrong, JetBrains has some cool stuff. It's nice to see they're working on a lighter-weight text editor to add some competition to the newbie-friendly text editor market. And JetBrains Mono is a phenomenal monospace font.
For sure. It’s definitely a good thing to provide subsidized housing for the poor. Poverty mitigation is wonderful!

But I believe the public wants the visible homeless cared for in a more responsible way.
If you have a sample HTML you wanna try, you can use https://pspdfkit.com/pdf-sdk/web/pdf-generation/ and paste HTML there - the generation engine is virtually the same.
How exactly do you fundamentally disagree with the author of the PR? He literally did no statements beyond saying that this is not an Apache License anymore.
Part of the problem here is that “homeless” has a pretty broad technical definition, while what ordinary people mean by “homeless” is specifically the highly visible indigent. They’re not thinking of the single mom at the woman’s shelter whose lost her apartment. There are two separate problems which both need to be addressed.
Ugh. As much as I am against the invasion, I absolutely do not want to have to start examining software licenses for obscure political litmus tests. Especially pointless ones like "I believe Putin is a bad dude".

I mean, if we're going to go down this road, then let's actually effect real change and slip some clauses in there with teeth like "no click-through license agreements" or "no pop-up cookie prompts" or "no ad trackers"...
trustroots.org is a good way to get started. Not all refugees are from specific country, many of them are just young people who've painted themselves into a corner philosophically.

Wait, there were more times it happened to you?
Interesting to see how you implemented this. I've created a similar service like this for internal use at a startup I'm working on. The basic idea is the same but I also implemented key deletion (HTTP DELETE) on top of read and write.

I read in one of the comments you're using Flask on the backend, are you storing the key/values in a SQL database?
My backend is written in Go and data is serialized to disk in a binary format.

edit: I just saw that you also implemented a delete feature, my bad for not reading all the examples carefully ;-)
What all these people raging about the potential for permanent DST seem to miss is that DST would only be disruptive in the ways they posit because of other arbitrary social time norms. What if we did permanent DST but also made 10-6 the new norm for office work? and we desperately need to stop forcing our kids to go to school so damned early regardless of whether we're in DST or not.

I think I would prefer DST, I'm always awake at 8pm but almost never awake yet at 7am.
Does it have anything over moom?

This industry is just wild.

Regardless, this is an extremely large number of words trying to formalize a system that simply doesn't exist. There is absolutely no consistency across companies regarding titles, levels, role expectations, growth expectations, parallel ladders. There is no actionable advice except "understand the career progression system at the company you work at or the companies you apply to." That's it.

That said, there may be a nuanced take towards the end but I hit a login-wall when I was about halfway through.
With only a slight compression, the image would go shit or totally unrecognizable.

Back in my days as an ambassador, I remember we had a principle: "Be Excellent".

Probably wasn't a community rule, but more of a guideline... and, I think that principle has been violated here. I'm unclear of the domain owner's standing within the community, but as I've read more... it doesn't seem very excellent.

I do believe there is a nexus of causality between community standing, and permission to use the trademark. However, just my opinion, actual trademark law may diverge.
The NY Post did its scoop in November before the election, and Twitter promptly suppressed the NY Post and the story based on their "hacked materials" policy. This was complete BS -- no one seriously thought that the materials were hacked. It was a pretense. But they got away with it. It was genuine election interference.

But that's just Big Tech. Surely the other reputable news organizations would set things straight. Nope. All the organizations that most HN users seem to think are trustworthy and reputable, i.e. the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, BBC, CNN, NPR, etc -- they all helped bury the story.

The NY Post's story has been comprehensively vindicated, but there's been no reckoning as far as I can tell against the organizations that hid the truth. HN users go back again and again to those same sources, quote from those sources, get their understanding of the world from those same sources.
What languages do you need support for?
I often wonder what we could do with a truly patent free codec once all the H.264 patent expired.
The difference between you and that person is one of material circumstances. You are not fundamentally different from them.
Does this API allow for the generation of accessible documents, such as PDFs, which can then be read by blind persons using a screen reader such as Jaws or NVDA? These tools have the ability to bring up a dialog box (e.g. elements list) listing the links, headings, form fields, buttons and landmarks present on documents, (e.g. html, pdf, and so on) that blind people would need in order for them to navigate a document.
In the language of my country's homeless charities, there are "rough sleepers" - people who are literally sleeping in shop doorways and on park benches - but there's a much larger number of the "hidden homeless" - people who are sleeping on an accommodating friend or family member's couch, or some other temporary arrangement like the government paying for them to stay in a bed and breakfast.

Rough sleepers may well have untreated addiction and mental illness problems - there's a reason they've exhausted the patience of their loved ones - but many people among the hidden homeless have simply been priced out of the housing market.
No problem. Tried it for a few minutes now that I have the chance, and a few immediate pain points:

- No APK install, it's a web app - so unlike many other apps I still have the navigation at the bottom all the time.

- The options for straight, gay, etc should be the first thing you see, or something you see after your first few swipes.

- It took exactly 2 videos after I configured that option to see a video about being at a protest that was as far away from pornography as possible. That type of stuff should not be allowed.

- It stops scrolling after 4 videos!!! This one is really major.

Hope this feedback helps.
This difference in focus doesn't stop various teams at Google from forcing gRPC/Protobuf into use in places where an IPC system like Mojo/FIDL or even a simple wire protocol (JSON over WebSocket say) would be more appropriate. I know of at least 2 HW/embedded type projects at Google where major engineering had to be done for months because an upstream team refused to use anything but gRPC.
Luxury apartments rarely stay that way long term. It’s a similar model as cars where used ends up moving down market.
What makes developers happy at work
Yes. "I don't want politics in X" (software, video games, etc) mean "I support the status quo" which is by itself a political position - and often a privileged one.
Once you notice virtue signaling, it’s everywhere!
Nice to read – this sheds a new light on to why and how to tackle technical debt.
Due to the vast difference in wages, astonishing amounts of profit have been made from the super-exploitation of workers in poor countries.

Other arrangements are possible, but this is the tendency we see now with production motivated by profit.
Doubtful. Do people go bankrupt by medical debt in other countries? Seems unlikely to get judgment and collect.

Sometimes I wonder, if I knew that the series would not be finished would I have started it, and would reading something else have been a better use of my time. I usually come to the conclusion that despite GRRM's world being incomplete, it's still far better than most of the work in the fantasy genre.
You fundamentally agree with the person who opened the issue on the issue of license, that's the only thing that matters here.

He is right, the changed license is discriminatory.

Older commits can be used freely, so not a big deal for a while at least and by then someone can fork the code.
They removed it simply to break parity with downloaded versions of the game. It was on the day that Agora was supposed to be played that the two diverged forever and locked you into playing on NYT if you wanted to play the same puzzle with all your family and friends.

This wouldn't work well because in the frequency domain representation, different "pixels" have very different importance for the overall appearance of the image: The pixels at the center of the frequency domain representation represent low frequencies, so compressing them will drastically alter the appearance of the image. On the other hand, the corners/edges of the frequency domain representation represent high frequencies, i.e. image details that can be removed without causing the image to change much. That's the crucial benefit of the Fourier transform for compression: it decomposes the image into important bits (low frequencies) and relatively less portant bits (high frequencies). Applying compression that doesn't take that structure into account won't work well.
> but you can't just make up your own rules

Sure you can. Your project, your rules.

Thanks for the mention :) Just wanted to point out that I run that script once a day.
Heard the same, thought the same. Casey succumbed to the struggle I find myself dealing with all the time - he found a problem with a technological solve and solved it with technology, which is only something other technologists do or want. Like you said, Instagram has a facility to already put stickers on images for people who wish to censor their pics. If they're not using Instagram, maybe the other program can do the same, if they user even cares at all. How do you convince someone with an existing workflow to change? "Why do I need another app," they will ask you. I wish him luck and applaud the nerve to go it alone in the tech world, but I'm not sure this is a diamond waiting to be found.
I believe that homelessness is only a housing problem for a percentage of people who are temporarily "down on their luck" and need a place to stay while they find a job. For the normal person who had a string of simultaneous bad things happen to them (car broke down, water heater exploded, they fell down the stairs and couldn't work for a months, etc) that caused their finances to die, most normal people have the ability to recover from that, especially with some assistance.

But there's no helping the mentally ill or drug addicts with a house. You could gift them a mansion, and they'll find a hammer and tear up the walls either looking for demons hiding in the walls to kill, or trying to find wiring or metal scrap to sell for drugs.
Hot crude and hydrochloric acid under pressure are two I remember from his stories. He said they checked for hairline cracks. What that actually meant in practice for measurements I’m not sure.
