Not so much funny as inevitable.
But you can literally see the spread of the data points. I think you are complaining about nothing and maybe not understanding the article. They are showing plots with low R^2 and claiming these variables in a vacuum do not predict homelessness (which is in agreement with what you are saying). Then they present two plots, having much higher (but still low) R^2 and make the innocuous claim that median rent is the single greatest predictor that they found. Of course, this analysis is very simple and any model trying to explain homelessness should contain many variables including things like the climate of the city. But to complain that the confidence interval of the slope is uninterpretable is silly. Any data scientist worth their salt understands this is simply a visual representation of the confidence interval outputted by the regression.
Sounds like you have never tried sorting or searching.

Where in the alphabet does "ö" or "aa" go? Well, it depends on the language AND the word.

Is ø the same as ø? Unicode can encode it in 2 different ways, so you need to normalize all encoding before comparing.

Is ø the same as o when searching? For Americans it is, for others not.
Rectangle dev here. You do not need to pay anything to get full functionality, including configuring the app any way you want. It's FOSS, after all.

The Pro version of the app just has a lot of additional features. Here's a comparison chart:

As someone with a fairly confrontational style who has later grown older and more battle scared, I think you’re missing an important aspect of mentoring.

Mentoring isn’t about telling the person what to do, it’s about leading them to realize the thing you’re teaching on their own. Telling doesn’t work, they haven’t experienced the pain! Things you take for granted, they think are stupid. Because they don’t know!

Incessant questioning is a fantastic way to learn. The only other way than painful experience.

And remember, you are sure of your knowledge. To them it sounds like alien speak. They can’t relate.
It would need tighter integration with programming languages and compilers, e.g. you should be able to write something like `#include "libfoo.idl"` (similar to the ease with which you can write `extern "C"` in C++, or `__declspec(…)` in MS C, etc.) and not need an extra code-generation step.

Regarding features, it’s clear that you’d need to find some sort of common ground, though not necessarily just the lowest common denominator.

This isn't easy because PDFs are PostScript, so text is laid out absolutely. You can make very small changes but a larger change requiring a reflow of the text would break things. In some cases it is possible to convert the PDF to a Word document, make edits, and then save it back to a PDF.

This sounds like a different scenario to me.

A production house billing out their employees time is very different from a handmade crafts producer pricing their work.

The first has many more variables to consider, but the process is well-established in many industries.

The second is actually very difficult, all the more so because small-scale individual makers often don't think like small business owners!

There's a massive skills shortage in London, to make matters worse the government penalised the self-employed and IT contractors were particularly hit hard because alot of them choose to work this way.

Ironic because I know a few recruitment agents that have said IR35 have made things increasingly difficult in an already scarce market, alot of the clients they recruit for are in public and government sectors.

With the changes you'll be less tax efficient and paying almost the same as you're permanent counterparts.

You can avoid IR35 if you're conniving enough to work through a specially setup PSC however these are so difficult and costly, for the fat cats and not the general populous.
If you have a huge number of top-level items, deeply consider your information architecture before downgrading to a hamburger menu.

Ir seems like you can hide all the items (hamburger menu), hide some of the items (sausage links or overflow menu), or have a deep hierarchical navigation.

While breadcrumbs were fairly established on desktop, mobile apps typically only have a single-level back/up button. It's easy to lose your place if you have a deep hierarchy. Are there are good solutions for this?

I really hope it takes off. There was a bit poor timing because widespread AVIF support happened _right_ before and now we need to beg browser vendors to adopt JPEG XL! I hope they don't balk at it for starting introduce too much file format cruft because JPEG XL is really, really something they should implement. It can succeed JPEG as well as PNG (lossless JPEG XL tend to destroy even optimized PNG). I'd much rather abandon AVIF support. It's just one of those annoying single-video-frame-as-a-picture hacks like WebP and HEIF without drive to make them outstanding image formats on their own for photography as well as line art.

As reported by Global Times:

"Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland previously said at a hearing in Congress that the US has "biological research facilities" in Ukraine and she said "we are now in fact quite concerned that Russian troops… may be seeking to gain control of [those labs], so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach."

I agree. During the early days of my exposure to the (pre Google) internet, friends used to tell me URLs and I wrote them down in a pocketbook to chase them later. Every site was something new.

Now, everything is responsive, minimalistic, using one of 5 or 10 CSS frameworks. There's definitely progress but there's also something lost.
For smaller PRs/bugfixes, I'll often just have 1 commit, and that's all it took me to write.

For bigger things, I do stream-of-consciousness, rebasing somewhat often when I get to a place where I like things.

Unfortunately we're all about merging, so that mucks up my commits a bit.

I use Magit to handle all that for me, which is by far the nicest git interface I've ever used.
If your application uses syslog...

If you want deal with configuring syslogd so it just doesn't get all dumped to the same log file as everything else in your system...

"Just use syslog" is really a non-answer. The systemd journal stuff goes above and beyond that and provides sane defaults, and it's universal.

This comment is spot on. This is asynchronous nature of the computer networks. While it is easy to control the path within smaller or enterprise networks, it is very likely that the reverse path on the internet is going to be different compared to forwarding path. Following that, the real challenge is, in case that you are dealing with some issue, to detect where the issue is, given that it might be happening on the reverse path that you don't have visibility into.
Yes, this is what I think is going on here. It's a bit more complicated though.

In the case of AGPL, you have an original open source release A that is forked to create B, and restrictions are added to the license of B. The original license of A permits those restrictions to be removed by someone who forks B into C. C is under no obligation to abide by those additional restrictions added by B.

But for that rule to apply in this case, the original code must have been licensed without such restrictions. If the original code, as in the case of Neo4j EE, was licensed under AGPL+Commons Clause, then that combination IS the original license. Downstream forks cannot remove that Commons Clause restriction and claim that the fork is "Free," because the original license is still in force, restrictions and all.
hmm, a.org is incubating the future, good snag.
I recently started listening to an InfoSec podcast and there's an interesting conflict of terms going on in terms of journalist/hacker/analyst/researcher use of the term "open source". It seems like "Open Source" can be an answer to the question "What's your source on that information?" And "open source" means it's freely available public information vs say a private interview or information acquired with a warrant or wiretap or freedom of information request. Based on that use case and how careful journalists need to be about sources, I suspect journalists etc were using the term first. And I suspect Perens encountered it in that domain first and applied it to software. But I honestly have no idea.

Open Source is a pretty dumb term. Free Software is also a dumb term for other reasons. It's a pity.
I don't disagree with this, they could/should have transitioned already. But for one, cultures are hard/slow to change. And second, as an example, Facebook had the motto "move fast and break things" until 2014, and by that time they also were beyond the startup phase(), so this kind of culture is not only for early days.

() They were founded in 2004, that's 10 years in. By that time in 2014 they had 800M+ monthly active users and $12 Billion revenue; and they had this culture internally until this point.

Some of these make sense (not that I agree with them), but don't seem peculiar to foster children. But what does this one mean?

> so that people don't know you're a foster kid unless you say so.

If you post a photo of your family and none of the children have emoji faces, why would anyone conclude that the foster child is a foster child? Because he looks different? Seems to me that emoji:ing out one child would do the opposite, draw attention to him.

EDIT: It seems we are talking about temporary arrangements, then things become clearer. Still very weird photos.

I believe the answer to your second line is "yes." This FTC enforcement action appears to address all of the above: any data that is collected in an illegal manner (in this case, which violates COPPA) and any machine learning models that are created through the use of this data (in their entirety, since you can't un-train a piece of information from a model).

Machine learning is somewhat unique in the software world in that the actual useful artifacts are not necessarily strongly tied to the source code itself. You can have the identical source code running at two different companies, but by supplying them with two different training sets, you'll end up with very different outputs. That's what algorithmic destruction is targeted at--not even necessarily the source code or algorithm in the technical sense (you can't destroy "KMeans" or "convolution" as a concept, obviously), but both the data and the model weights that are produced through the use of that data that are used in perform a business action. Those weights are typically stored separately from the source code, and can be extremely expensive to re-create from scratch.
Soon most of this tracking will be baked into the browser itself (as if it isn’t already).

I thought HEVC already came with a way to encode images (HEIF)? I don't have any experience in this space so I am probably missing something obvious, but I thought HEVC technology was being used for images for a while.
One flaw with that is that the struct size won't change if you do something like reordering the members (not that anyone would ever do that).
Most of my users are blocking GA these days. I don't put it on new sites anymore. Crawlers from a certain country do execute GA js. This causes stats to vary wildly.

Not sure if it will be worth my time to go back and remove the old tags from those sites. Cannot see a reason to upgrade.

It was nice to know, but there are more important metrics.

The multivariate testing suite was fun at one time. However it isn't as useful when your core users are all blocking it.

I'm curious about why horizontal scrolling feels so bad.

Like it works just fine in mapping apps, which naturally align to a 2d canvas, but why does it feel so lousy to use with almost any other form of information?

Is it because we write left-to-right, top-to-bottom? So text chunks fit better with no horizontal scrolling? (I think this is also why vertical tabs are so much better than horizontal tabs).

From my experience, system design is not too bad if you have practice building systems.

You may read some of the interview preparation books to get an idea of the concepts and keywords the interviewer want to hear - but it's not too dissimilar to what you would do in practice.

System design correlates to architect level work.

Leetcoding instead requires you to know the basic patterns to use to solve the problems and either A. be a incredibly quick thinker or B. have memorised tons of exercises - especially if you're not super young and age and sleepless nights are starting to catch up with you.

Leetcoding doesn't correlate to work in any way.
You just suck it up and spend 2 months preparing for it so you can have a nice looking CV and a truckload of money after you get the job.

I would weigh carefully whether you want to go to a FAANG though. Some people lucks out and they end up in a role where they do very little, others end up overworking.

You can make decent money contracting for less demanding companies (both interview and work-wise) and being tax smart (I would say almost as much as a FAANG, considering half goes in taxes).
I suspect many people reading this HN thread also serve as their family's tech support team. Every week I get calls or emails from my parents requesting help figuring out something that's not obvious from the UI, is accidentally triggered by users, deliberately activated (by the app) during a software update, or buried deep in some settings or submenu. This week's selection includes:

- Turning off yet again the annoying computer voice announcing any navigation or volume change on my parents' new Samsung TV (accessibility option, not sure why it turned on, but it required me visiting their home in person again to turn it off)

- Trying to help my father disable the "get Outlook for iOS" line that suddenly started to be appended to the bottom of his work emails.

- Helping my spouse troubleshoot a Shopify app feature that prevents >1 item being subtracted from inventory at a time

- Figuring out how to enable a social media save shared photos to her phone's photo album

Yes, sometimes software is so complicated and feature rich these items have to buried deep in the settings. But often I find that the lack of obvious text labels for basic features and navigation items is the problem. Hamburger menus and the three dots "more actions" icon are a poor substitute for clear text labels and links.

Mentoring isn’t about telling the person what to do, it’s about leading them to realize the thing you’re teaching on their own.

I'd take this a step further. Depending on how similar the career tracks are for the mentor and mentee, mentors often won't or can't know the right answer for the specific situation the mentee is in. As a mentor, your role isn't necessarily to have the answer either, it's just to help them figure it out for themselves one way or another.
JPEG similarly has a progressive mode.

The problem with these formats is that they don’t offer enough of an advantage to overcome the disadvantage of have less than the enormous install base of JPEG. Look how much better PNG is than GIF and realize it only succeeded in replacing it (for static images) because of the Unisys patent suits, not because it’s so much better.
you can serve new devices with JPEG XL and convert it back to JPEG without loss on server for old devices

The longer order with the facts[1] has more details about this point than the shorter decision.[2] They explain their rationale on pages 24-25.

It seems that this question was already decided by the court in an earlier case, Neo4j, Inc. v. Graph Found., Inc 2020.[3] They decided that only restrictions added by downstream licensees could be removed in this way. The original licensor can impose additional restrictions, and those cannot be removed, because it would be "contrary to the principles of contract and copyright law" to allow such a thing.
