Capitalism is the best way to do it: just hire people who are leaving. It's a pure win-win situation.

There is a direct and very strong correlation in Russia between person's level of education, his worth on the labour market and his disdain for the Russia's policy. While majority of Russians support fascist regime and criminal war against Ukraine, majority of those who leave now, especially those with fluent English and internationally valued skills absolutely do not.
This "hierarchy of being and a hierarchy of meaning" is the justification superstition retreats to when its plain claims are revealed to be simply false.

There's also a false dichotomy here: you don't ether have to have respect for base superstition or subscribe to materialism. There's plenty of room for philosophies that reject both horns of this dilemma.
>there is an incentive to get the most out of the individual negotiation since you almost certainly will never see each other again

You've got great insights here. That said, I can't help but think that perception - that it is a one-time, transaction relationship - is a key difference between winners and losers. What I mean is, from the standpoint of the salesperson, they should be seeking a long-term win and not just a win in this transaction. We'll use your example of a car, but I can think of many other places where this also applies. In the the car situation - you really want to sell / lease them the car, but you also want there services business. You want them to tell their friends to come buy from you. You want them to come back in 5-10 years and buy/ lease their next car from you. None of that happens if they walk away feeling like it wasn't a fair situation.

Likewise, even in a seemingly "done" negotiation, things have a way of cropping up. Like the buyer comes to take possession of the car and decides that the tires look more worn than what they believe, and suddenly want to renegotiate. Or, maybe you've agreed on price already, have started signing the paperwork, but then the salesperson wants to upsell you on the truecoat. Point being - I think you were even more right than you may have intended, in terms of the ongoing nature of negotiations rather than a fixed-position scenario.

What's the source for this, I do see they're the CSS co-designer, was this requirement originally written somewhere? I'm looking at the description of important, and I don't see this intention carried through.

If the intention is indeed as described, then the CSS designers failed to communicate it properly, and not "a sign you may not understand the cascade properly."
While you're wondering, consider the possibility that Russia had more convenient means than military force for achieving its policy goals during the Trump administration.

Then while you're specifically considering Crimea, consider which US president simply said "Oh yeah, Crimea is russian":

Secret traits in generative NFT collections
I used Geany editor (well, it's called a lightweight IDE) with a Debugger plugin. There's also another debug plugin for it, forgot the name, slightly more capable.

All of these are capable of the basic single-threaded debug operations. Multithreaded is not as robust, but it's quite a cookie per se.

For the basics the TUI is very much alright, as long as you remember the hotkeys.
I'm no anthropologist but I would bet "talking to the dead" is a near universal human cultural constant.
I'm not knowledgeable on the topic of RPA, but it has always felt to me like RPA was nothing more than a trendy scam. I suppose there must be some value to it under the right circumstances, but how it went down at my last company influenced my pessimistic view.

Anyway circa 2016-2017 at this $BIGCORP, somebody got excited about RPA, created a lot of buzz with the executive team, and secured funding to build an entire RPA department.

Everyone was was excited! People were speaking at conferences after 6 months of scripting, grand claims of thousands of hours of work being eliminated were made, and so on. 2 years later, the entire department was gone. I never met anyone there who actually had work eliminated by the so-called RPA scripts...so it just felt like a big joke to me.

I imagine there are people who have had good experiences, but I've not really heard of them. I'd be interested to hear of legitimate benefits in this space.
Samba 4.16.0 – Release Notes
Check some side-by-side comparisons of of same portrait scenes on youtube. Apple removes all moles, freckles, wrinkles and so on so folks look like (very good looking) plastic toys from fashion magazine covers. Some like it, some don't.
Interesting; I have never heard the term Primarily Undergraduate Institutions, although it's clearly an established term. During my PhD program, when folks were on the job market, we called them "teaching colleges." Most people - rightly! - associate "teaching colleges" with colleges that train teachers, but in our context, we knew immediately what people meant: colleges where professors were expected to spend most of their time actually teaching with little to no research expectations.
A local GPS-disciplined NTP server, distributing time over 1GbE or 10GbE goes a long way. I can't think of any application, besides HFT and maybe some science experiments that need better precision.

And even in HFT, it is silly to try to use your x64 system time to get nanosecond precision. Even if you are really good, using bare hardware, all your code and data is in L2, an x64 system would still be giving you 100ns level jitter. No matter what you do. What you want is to have your network card (or FPGA) timestamping the packets accurately. And then releasing these packets at a precise timestamp.

Saying that, maybe Clockwork is doing something completely different. And not in nanosecond level, but at a millisecond level. They talk about "measure true one-way delays of a packet or remote procedure call, discover network bottlenecks and "hiccups" (outages lasting a few seconds), and identify underperforming VMs arising from "noisy neighbors." Now, that could indeed be useful.
A lot of people have been pointing this out in the responses. The author has been defending himself for people misreading his tweet when he should have simply left out that last sentence
First, you're quoting a statement I did not make. Please do not falsely quote people.

Second, you identified your race, not me ("Pretty insulting to a non white person..."). And you're ascribing feelings to me that I do not possess, nor that have I expressed or intended to imply. I'm sorry you think that way, but it's simply not true. I truly believe that technical acumen is something within the reach of all races and that no race is superior. It is the financial means to leverage wealth into even more wealth that is unevenly distributed, and that distribution greatly favors white men. That's just an incontrovertible fact.

Everyone investing in crypto is gambling, regardless of race. So if you're going to be insulted by that, know that it's not a race thing; everyone can be equally insulted by that if they so choose.
>To me, this looks like what my eyes would see when in the room vs what the camera itself would show which would either be blown out views outside the windows or the room too dark.

Honestly it's hard to tell without a reference picture. Looking at the first picture, it seems reasonable that the living room would be well lit because of huge windows. However, the section with the tall houseplants look nearly as bright as the open living room area, which seems doubtful.

What advantage is that to the company over just hiring them and having them continue to work on the open source project. From the company’s perspective, not only does that cover paying for maintenance, it also gives them far more control over the direction of the open source project by directly employing the main contributors.
I just have to say that the links to the same table on Wayfair and Appliance Direct is one of the most concise, effective ways I've seen of describing the pain point that you're solving. Just looking at that has me 100% convinced that what you're building has real value.
This reads like a comment from Slashdot, circa '97. If you have a "toxic" relationship with inept/malicious application software, break ties with it now just as you should from Microsoft.

Even under your rare worst-case scenario, recovery has never been easier with "live" flash drives. No need to live in fear of breaking something.
> a cellphone can beat all but the absolute top end dedicated cameras and even then only for niches.

In what aspect ? Artistically a 2010 dslr would shit on any single phone on the market

If your goal is to take pictures to document your life then yes use your phone, 100% the better choice here, but if your job or passion is to make pictures a proper camera will always be better, even my 1965 leica produce better pictures than the current top end iphone.

The problem with DSLRs/mirrorless is that they're proper tools and just like with a brush and a canvas you have to put time and effort to master them. No amount of computational photography will make you a good photographer and if a modern 2k$ camera is the bottleneck it certainly is more of your fault than the camera.

I also think the cross section between casual users who want an iphone like experience X people who drop 2k$ on a camera is extremely small. Different tools for different jobs

That would have been an unqualified good. Acts of war are criminal violence.
Ask HN: The urge to build is strong, any ideas?
My startup is building a product in the spreadsheet arena, and I'm looking for a project to build that we can offer for free service as a sort of marketing initiative.

Given the nature of our app, I'm mostly considering ideas related to spreadsheet usage. The main one I'm thinking about is a simple landing page where users can upload multiple spreadsheet files and easily append the data into a single table/document (allowing for basic Pandas operations). My concern is that this idea isn't very strong, but I really want to build something.

Any ideas for simple-ish, useful services I could work on?

I'm building this on my own, so I'm trying to keep scope manageable.
I agree with that tweet there:

> If you need to set font-sizes with !important you also don't understand the cascade

If law requires you to make certain text a certain size, just do so.

Without any more background information, this explanation for !important doesn't make any sense.

A lot of people have come up with something similar. Someone I know implemented the Condor scheduler to run models on workstations at night at a hedge fund. That Condor scheduler dates to the 80s. Smaller 3d animation studios commonly do this too.
It's times like this that force us to remind ourselves how reliant we are on critical services like these. On one hand, we can celebrate (Internet snow-day!) but on the other we are forced to shop around for alternatives too.

I often wondered how medieval the world would become if there was a huge sun flare ejection that breached the magnetic field and destroyed a bunch of data-centers. Think of the mess we'd be in!

I'd love to hear about just 1 case of a well-trained service dog mauling a baby to death uprovoked. The fact that an accident is technically possible if everybody in the pipeline fails at their job isn't much of an argument against anything. Just like you wouldn't leave a baby unattended with a blood testing machine, you wouldn't let it interact with the dog. In fact, if a baby poked its finger where it didn't belong, I bet a dog would show a lot more restraint than a 18k RPM lab centrifuge.
Emacs's GDB integration is probably my favourite (aside from using GDB directly):

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/GD...

It gives you an IDE-like interface but supports easy access to the command line (as you'd expect, given Emacs's focus on text-based UX). Unlike (some of) the full IDEs it doesn't require you to be fully committed to a particular way of doing things (build systems, projects, etc).

I understand that VScode and CLion are also fairly lightweight IDEs and have GDB integration too, though ISTR VScode doesn't have watchpoint support yet. You can always type directly into the console, though.
That line was blurred long ago, and the distinction between an "app" and a "page" is irrelevant today. Even news articles these days sometimes contain interactive elements like WebGL visualizations.

Personally, even though every new API inevitably gets abused, I don't think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater because there are tons of legitimate uses here. (In fact, I'm currently building something as a side project that would benefit greatly from these file system APIs.) My own worry is about complexity creep—specifically, the number of things I'll be expected to know and keep track of as a frontend engineer in another 10 years. But that's probably just me getting older. :)

MS Office. That's it. That's the reason I went with a Mac instead.

It's "squishy" terms in law, like "usually" that I find bothersome. Granted, I haven't read the complete specifics of all of the minutia when it comes to the GDPR, I'll admit. I do keep cookies by default though, as a habit, which seems to be in violation of GDPR rules.

Should I start publishing a blog or some such which was antithetical to the prevailing party doctrine, that happened to gain traction with the public, terms like usually tend to go out of the window. Al Capone wasn't indicted on bootlegging after all.

You can look up the entire phrase or just ask someone. There’s no need to know where it came from, although it might make retention easier, or comprehension better. Nothing beats time spent immersed in the language and just asking questions or looking at context when something seems odd. Living languages aren’t static targets either, you’ll sound formal or just plain strange if you elevate dictionary definitions over experience and practice with common usage.
Both Apple Maps and Google Maps work in the browser, no need for an app.
Indeed, that’s a case of people conspiring a skin smoothing filter out of a bug, like it says.

Actually I really didn’t like the denoising on that camera, it seemed poorly tuned in general…
The moment that clown Dmitry Rogozin was appointed as a director of Roscosmos, I knew it is a death sentence for Russian cosmonautics.

Can you fix it by adjusting the temperature or tint in the Photos app?
As a photographer on the side: nahhhh. I have a “real” camera because I want control. Give me the RAW data, and I can move mountains.

What have made interchangeable lens cameras increasingly irrelevant: the workflow. On a phone, somewhat obviously, I take a photo, and post it to Instagram, instantly. On a stand-alone camera? I…

…uh, well if I’m shooting RAW I need to either have RAW/JPEG turned on, or convert to JPEG in camera, and then save that image, and then use the awful built-in wifi to connect to a shoddily made app that will randomly not connect for reasons, and then hope the transfer finishes, or use a SD-to-Lightning adapter and dongle up my phone.

The DSLR/mirrorless workflow is still, conceptually, film, except replace a darkroom with Lightroom. It’s terrible for run-and-go casual shooting, which was a huge part of the lower-end market.
> Eventually we'll do some instruction combining using this information (best place may be at entry to I$0 trace cache), or possibly at the rename stage

So much for "we will do only simplest of commands and u-op fusing will fix performance".

It is why I'm very suspicious about this argument from RISC-V proponents.
"Flak" (meaning an anti-aircraft gun or shrapnel therefrom) can also be spelled "flack." The phrase "taking flack" is either a literal or metaphorical use of this meaning.

A flack (never spelled without a c) is a public relations or press agent, and to flack is to promote something (or otherwise do the work of a flack).
I found the link http://www.radgametools.com/debug.htm. Though it looks like the project has been abandoned https://github.com/ValveSoftware/vogl
Taken from their FAQ on that page about "Why make a new source-level debugger?"

> To put it bluntly, debugging on Linux is just really bad. We believe it is the biggest roadblock to great software for that platform. Don't get us wrong - debugging on Windows isn't great either. But the standard Visual Studio debugger is still much better than anything on Linux.

> So we want to make Linux debugging as good as Windows debugging. And then we want to make both better - much better. There are so many better debugging tools that we can imagine having, and yet even today's best debuggers provide barely any functionality that wasn't in debuggers twenty years ago.

> Also, we think there's a lot of value in having one great debugger that you can use on every platform. RAD develops software for roughly 18 platforms now. A big part of the friction of a new platform is dealing with different toolsets.

> Compilers, linkers and runtimes are all hard to deal with, certainly, but you typically finish setting those up in a few days or weeks. The debuggers, on the other hand, are tools you have to use every day for as long as you develop on that platform!

I guess it's just really hard to do this stuff
> There was nothing preventing you from scattering state everywhere in class based components.

There was though - it's the same pain you're referring to later... "Hooks allow for composition of effects in a way that class based components did not."

Class based components sucked in a lot of ways. But the nice side effect of that was that folks tended to use them more carefully, and avoid using them when they didn't understand them (or at least avoid implementing any method besides render()).

I'm not saying hooks don't have nice properties - I'm saying that I'm not convinced (after using hooks for about 2 years now) that the price you pay is worth it.

The number one source of bugs in our codebase is... drumroll... hooks. I think a part of that is that state in general is evil, and will be where most of the bugs lurk. But I think the other side is that hooks have a completely new, unintuitive, hard to reason about set of rules. Composable? Sure, sometimes, if you work really hard to understand exactly what sort of new rules you're creating and then hiding in their complexity. Intuitive? Fuck no!
Dhystone's just a place to start, it helps me make quick tweaks, and I'm at that stage of the process - it's particularly good because it's somewhat at odds with my big wide decoders - VRoom! can decode bundles of up to 8 instructions per clock, while Dhrystone has lots of twisty branches, only decodes ~3.7 instructions per bundle - it's a great test for the architecture by pushing at the things it might not be as good as.

Having said that I'm about reaching the end of the point where it's the only thing - being able to run bigger longer benchmarks is one of the reasons for bringing up linux on the big FPGA on AWS

> Written word-games aren’t a thing in Hindi but we do have a lot of stuff rhyme based games

Interesting observation, and I can't help but wonder if this is loosely correlated to literacy. Since most of these games were developed to pass time by the masses, it only makes sense that they be verbal rather than written.
180k is almost a house. If you graduate from Z you can take on a mortgage instead of paying off your debt living in an apartment. I'm sure you'll do extremely well at Z too, and you can go to fully funded grad programs if you want. I went to a public university for free and don't have any regrets really. If I could do anything differently, I'd go to a small liberal arts college for undergrad. Only reason I can see for going to MIT is for the prestige and the elite connections. But that life is not for everyone.
It requires discipline beyond the capabilities of many organizations to structure CSS so that it's maintainable. The ubiquity of `!important` is not so much "a sign you may not understand the cascade properly" as a sign that the cascade is a flawed design that falls apart in practice.
> Dedicated cameras never "ignored" the means to get better dynamic range and signal/noise ratio with stacking.

I respectfully disagree. No dedicated format for stacks (instead just filenames), no first party software to combine the stacks, and absolutely no on-board combination.

Heck on a fairly recent camera I own, you cannot even configure the camera to always take a stack cellphone style. You have to bind to button to open a menu, to select stack size, every single shot.

> And RAW processing software is pretty much embracing computational photography (calibrated optics correction, noise reduction, highlight reconstruction etc, including things like auto retouching and tonemapping if you don't want to do it manually).

True. However, the market has shown time and time again that onboard is more popular than post-progressing. People want to snap and post, they don't want to snap and then post the next day/week after they've post processed it in PhotoLab or Lightroom.

The most common use for !important is to override something else marked !important. It’s an interesting situation when getting rid of a feature simultaneously removes most of the need for it.
