Unless I'm misunderstanding your use case, Azure functions have had HTTP triggers[0] for years, the bindings documentation even calls out support for binding different trigger types to the same function. I was actually surprised that AWS has only just received support.

It can be the most reliable place to find a group of real people all knowledgeable about the same thing. So things like “best weekend itinerary in x city”.
Can we at least agree that programming and math are different things?
In Chechnya In these times was real chaos and war. There were there a lot of actors who didn't obey anyone, so, of course, there were a lot of crimes. It took a lot of effort to establish the control of the authorities over what was happening. It's hard to clearly say that Anna Politkovskaha was on Putin's orders. Alexandr Litvinenko was different case. He was an defector and former officer not a peaceful human rights activist maybe I can believe it. But not all his statements and his writings has clearly proofs. For example Julian Assange faces the death penalty in the US. And some even claims that was attempts on him... Many developed countries of the world have a history of some strange crime cases and human rights violations. It seems in real world all is so complicated you even can't easy say that these crimes were not deliberately constructed by hostile agents. Only in case than you have very very accurate evidence sometimes only if you have personally seen them... I would like to live in a truly free and democratic country, but I doubt that such a country can exist in conditions when there are necessarily hostile and unfriendly among many other countries...
AFAIK you don't need to install emacs on Windows, you just can unzip the binaries you can download on the official website on any folder, even your desktop, and run the EXE file on the \bin folder, without the need of admin privileges.
The fact that the representative's office clearly says it disagrees is great! It means they understand constituents' positions well enough to know whether they are representing their electorate.

The bland, nothing replies are a sign that they're not even bothering to register your opinion.
Japan, Germany, arguably, Britain. I'm not saying these places don't have exorbitant housing costs, but housing is not the primary way of securing your retirement.

Well this is a tragedy. People should use what they like. If I started a new job and they mandated Linux, I would be equally upset. Windows isn't for everyone, as evidenced by the same complaints over and over.
Having sat through years and years of presentations and documentation reviews, I'd say most developers, even highly educated ones, can't write decent prose so a cover letter displaying that would hurt them. Even if they have someone else polish their cover letter, that's still them presenting themselves as having a level of writing talent that they don't actually have.
Love it, you should check the Typescript compiler used by MakeCode as well.

Maybe there are some ideas there.
Straight up Google results are too manipulated by machine generated blogs for SEO. Google "best x" you would end up in a blog post made of Amazon affiliate links. Same goes for product reviews, it's impossible to find blogs that cover reviews on everyday products barring a few.
Reddit has become a gold mine for some when it comes to product reviews and research. "Give a man a mask, he will tell you the truth" - with quora your identity being associated some hesitate on stark opinions but with reddit, you can do whatever you want to say and the community takes care of it with upvotes and karma.

Recently there has been an influx of paid reviews and opinions everywhere, yt comments, Amazon reviews and even reddit comments. So take everything with a truckload of salt but given the limited content I have to source, reddit is as good as it gets. Someone should build yt comments extractor and search on top of that.
Only a real human would understand the tone. And I received it.
It's not the lenses which are difficult, it's clear glass.

With a piece of pure glass, the rest is some emory and a great deal of patience.

Clear glass is also more about knowhow than raw technical difficulty, it isn't the Bessemer process, it's knowing how to flux with soda + add some lead to get the melting point down, then pouring it on lead to get nice flat sheets.
Sorry, I've posted this before so always feel like blabbering if I repeat - but here goes - I was 14, my dad had a print business and printed all the cockpit panels for a private company developing an F16 simulator for the Israeli air force. He took me to their offices one weekend.
The setup was a full 180 degree screen projections, a realistics 1:1 F16 cockpit with all the panels and buttons etc, and a SGI running the show. They gave me the spinning Beatle car demo, and then sat me down to fly. That day left a hard imprint (including the price tag on the SGI which they were proud to mention). I was an Amiga kid, and to top it all off, the other room had what seemed like hundreds of Amigas, which were used to build 3D models for the simultaor.
To be honest, I can't think of anything that's actually exclusive to the fruity company's graphics API? I mean, they have no game market to begin with.
You people are absolutely incredible. These are some amazing personal / hobby sites.
Maybe, but the people that drive the hate for Intel online all fall into the former category.

And "have to replace the motherboard along with the CPU" is the exact thing we're talking about here: there was no technical reason for Intel to make the earlier boards incompatible, they did it just because they could. Not that there was ever really a reason to upgrade beyond "buy the cheapest K series, set multiplier to 46-48x, done", but even if you wanted to, you couldn't.

It was an anti-consumer practice and said consumers never forget it (not that most tech channels don't provide active reminders of it). And those people are who everyone else asks when "I'm getting a new computer", they say "buy the competitor's product", and the rest is history.

I love the idea and I cannot stress how many times I regret finding some undistracting results from those knowledgeable people who put time and energy to produce high-quality materials instead of search-engine-optimized dull content! That said, a mere full-text search lacks understanding context. I tried getting some results about gardening and plants, but returned results where anything from bitcoin to power plants, or even DNA, and not vegetation.
I think manual copying would kill it for me. I'm just back and forth between multiple devices throughout the day and it seems like that would amount to a lot of copying.
Although there's only one of me, so there's never a need to merge. So it's not really multi-directional syncing, it's more like broadcast from whatever I'm using currently to everything else.
I'm approaching this subject from a place of ignorance. A cursory Google of Shanna Swan, and a glance through her Wiki page, don't suggest a relationship to "far-right rabbit holes", just a lot of coverage of her work on left-leaning sites such as GQ, The Guardian, NYTimes, etc.. I also tend to observe that many (especially older) far-right folk are very pro-petrochemical, whereas she appears to be strongly the opposite.

I guess I'm just having trouble squaring your comment away; can you elaborate/clarify your caution as it applies to Swan?

True, but that would certainly be against the "spirit" of their policy. It crossed my mind, though.
>"I'd like to see an attempt to go back to the original 30,000 per rep. We have the technology now to make that entirely feasible."

I agree that congresspeople and senators represent too many people to do so accurately, but enlarging the congress would cause other problems. Devolving power to the states (and municipalities) would likely be more effective.
Because the way to make Linux better is to install things that make it more like Windows. Unfortunately for Linux, the one thing you can't install is software compatibility with Windows apps (unless you count Wine, which even after all these years you really can't). So if you want to run Windows apps the way to go is Windows augmented with Linux features rather than Linux augmented with Windows features.
I remember that flight simulator demo, it was something you'd find at events and trade shows or even super fancy arcades. This was back in the first VR 'boom' and tail end of the era of arcades. Some companies used SGI and similar powerful workstations to build simulator game pods, like for mechwarrior and spacecraft racing games. People would pay for a 5-10 minute session in one.
> * Hardware all works mostly without issue.

> * Power management (sleep etc.) works reliably.

Man, I don't know. I just got a new HP work laptop at the end of last year. Some HP "enterprise" model, nothing fancy, which only officially supports Windows. It came preloaded with win 10 pro, even though "HP recommends Windows 11". Whatever. (The pc was manufactured in November 2021, so Win11 was already out).

When I turn it on, my first impression was "damn, that's a dim screen". Even turned all the way up, with auto-dim disabled, it would still be just "meh". I rebooted in the BIOS, and it burned my eyes off.

Install Linux: I get the full brightness. Brightness keys work out of the box, light sensor, sound / mic mute leds light up as needed, Wi-Fi, BT, IR camera, fingerprint reader, everything just works.

I figure I should install a Win 11, just in case (I daily drive Linux, but work for a windows shop). What a freaking shitshow. Mostly nothing works out of the box. No brightness keys, not brightness sensor, no volume keys, the touchpad is barely usable. I have to go through multiple Windows update reboots (on a freshly created Windows install USB stick), and then start going through all the HP drivers, complete with reboots. For some reason, after the updates, the USB Ethernet adapter (from HP) doesn't work reliably anymore. And after all this song and dance, there's some USB controller that has an exclamation mark in device manager, and the webcam isn't detected. "Update the driver" doesn't find anything. There's also some weird lag with the audio LEDs. It has no idea there's an ambient light sensor. And if I tell it to sleep, it'll go to sleep and wake up after a while for no reason ("Wake up for updates" is of course disabled).

> * Settings are almost all GUI-accessible. You rarely have to fiddle on the command line etc.

But you have to fiddle with the registry. I wouldn't say that's that much better. Also, bonus points for whatever settings you do being undone on an update.
I use it to get a more informed idea of products I'm thinking about buying. For example if I'm looking up a specific pair of headphones I'll usually read around on there to see what people think of them.

Another cpu with similar clock of that era was Alpha, whose first real supplies were 150MHz, quickly updated to 200MHz
A lot of that is just propaganda. The last 1000 years of western intellectual tradition has be marked by the present zeitgeist propagandizing against the previous zeitgeist.

The western dark ages weren't all that dark, nobody thought the world was flat, Giordano Bruno was an occultist and not champion of natural science, nailing your theses to a church door wasn't a mic drop thing but more like making a forum post, there's even nuance to the Spanish inquisition.
The main purpose of documenting is to show HR that you are documenting, which may get them to reconsider sketchy behavior.

I respect the ideal state you’re shooting for here, but that “may” leaves too much wiggle room for HR sleight-of-hands. I sit here and tell you with a straight face I’ve watched first hand companies doing some pretty shady things under the banner of HR that raised several ethical flags, but because they weren’t outright illegal, when the employee came back with plenty of documentation they still walked away with no judgement, no settlement, and no job.

“Showing” HR that I’m documenting just seems like a REALLY good way to get a very large target painted on my back and… I don’t know if people want to show their hands like that.
Except it isn’t hypothetical, it is so common it’s a meme.
Sadly not all the variables here works as it's for something unrelated to the command line.

You can list all the working variables with `Get-ChildItem Env:`

To use the variable, put '%' around it. (Sadly no variable point to the Download directory, but that's far easier to do it with a real programming language).

> think part of the issue is these kinds of Windows accessibility improvements are not as discoverable as the ArchWiki.

That's true for these variable in particular

> You mentioned spinning your own distro of Windows but where are the Medium articles or distro respins out there?

Heh, there is no article of it, but the msdoc is extensive enough on the subject you shouldn't have an issue if you follow it.

> Instead, let’s elaborate and defend our own version of safe spaces.

What he is calling for doesn't seem to be the same as what have typically been known as "safe spaces". His reference to taking the comfort of students more seriously seems to be related to their fear of being ostracized for their opinions. That's different from the normal concern for comfort in safe spaces, which focuses on being offended or triggered by others' speech.
SOUND token is underlying the economy we're building at RCRDSHP to try bringing positive change to the music industry. It's a true utility token, akin to the vinyl that goes into pressing records. Very crypto-contrarian in certain important ways.
While that's true, I'm not sure that I consider it a "problem" in the first place. I used to, but not any longer.

In my experience, there's never a good time to update/reboot. I always have multiple applications and tabs open, and always several tasks in flight.

For many years, I had Windows set to not automatically update. Now, given the rapid speed with which vulnerabilities can be exploited, I'm personally glad that it does.

In a corporate environment, though, as the blog author is in, it's really going to be the IT policies that dictate this. They typically have the ability to update not just Windows, but any other software on the system. And often do.

That's one of the reasons that IT departments do prefer (and sometimes dictate) Windows -- It does make it easier for them to secure the multitude of systems for which they are responsible.
Any species would face a selective pressure towards theorems which help them understand the world around them (if they have any motivation to prove theorems at all), and they will similarly face a pressure towards choosing the smallest/simplest set of axioms which allows all those theorems to be proven (and new ones to be discovered).

In fact, if we assume that neural networks are the only sorts of intelligence that can occur naturally in the universe and be sophisticated enough for arbitrary abstract calculation[0], then we might be able to infer things about the sorts of concepts they will develop and in what order. For example, having the concept of finite sums would likely occur before having the concept of infinite sums.

[0] I know that cellular automata can emulate a universal Turing machine, but I can't imagine a situation existing in nature where the cells evolve into an arrangement that produces a Turing machine, much less a machine running a program of instructions that lead to it generating mathematical theorems.
Well for housing in particular, average voters are the ones supporting restrictive zoning and stalling new housing.

While I agree that getting people to change their mind is pretty hopeless, I dislike the framing that they are just "responding to incentives" and therefore not only off the hook for the shitty outcomes of their choices, but also not responsible for the choices themselves.
> For senior software engineers, Fast offered $200-240K/year in base salaries

Lets put everyone there. $20k/month.

> On Monday, 4th April, Fast laid off all of its workforce of about 450 employees, of which about 150 were software engineers.

That 150 at $20k/month is $3M by itself.

The other 300... if they were paid half of that would easily be another $3M.

I'm certain there are other costs - but its easy to point to a "if they were paying that much, this many employees represents this much per month" that is a sizable fraction of that $10M/month.
> How shitty would you feel if you've worked your whole life at a very high level, and then the president announces that you're chosen not because you're the best of the candidates, but because you're a black candidate.

This is an interesting point. One of the things that's been pointed out to me by women in my life is the psychological toll of repeatedly being in situations where you feel like you've been discriminated against but there's just enough ambiguity that you're not comfortable speaking up about it. E.g. being passed up for promotion in favor of someone who isn't blatantly less qualified, but is less qualified nonetheless, or being unsure if someone speaks to everyone in a condescending tone or just to women.

The case of the justice seems like the inverse of that. Do publicly advertised affirmative action or DEI programs have the side effect of causing qualified people to second guess whether their success was earned?

I do think there's a lot of value in such programs (that most likely outweighs the negatives, to the extent that they even exist), but I haven't heard anyone talking about whether such effects exist and if so how to handle them. Maybe it's not a factor at all, I certainly am not in a position to say.

> I'm an idiot, but I struggle to see how significant taxes in these cases wouldn't have extremely broad appeal.

It would have broad appeal, but not to the developers etc. that are buying 10K plates at fundraising dinners ...

> The principal residence tax exemption is also a joke

The problem is that without that exemption, you literally can't afford to move. The 6% "tax" for real estate fees are already painful if you are trying to move to a house of the same value in another city, but if 40-50% of your sale value was considered a capital gain ...

The real problem is people "moving into" rentals for 6 months and then declaring that their principle residence and selling the property. Once you start renting it should be forever be a business property.

Show HN: Phenixio – Real-time Bitcoin payments platform [API]
Hi everybody,

I'm the founder of Phenixio - a real-time Bitcoin payments platform. We've been developing it for the last couple of years, and I am happy to announce that it is finally ready for a test drive.

We've built our services on top of Lightning Network. It is the Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin that makes real-time payments possible. These Bitcoin payments are almost faster than credit card processing and only take about 1-2 seconds.

With Phenixio, you will access this payments network without going through any protocol-level complexity. You could start accepting payments from anyone with a BTC/LN wallet and from anywhere in the world.

It is still early days for us, and we are looking for pilot users who can provide some valuable feedback. Our API is quite simple, so you can easily integrate Bitcoin payments with your website. I should also mention that you don't need any Bitcoin knowledge to use it.

Let me know if you are interested. I will give you access to our testnet API. API reference: https://testnet.phenixio.com/api/docs/
Technically everything does contain some level of danger. We just say that something isn't dangerous when it falls below some level (subjective or objective).
I don't believe you can have multiple triggers for the same function, so I can't bind it to a time trigger and a http trigger.

If you can find an example for doing otherwise I'd be delighted!
Maybe they work at Cockroach Labs
There are some cases where you have to make a breaking change, and in those cases, it is helpful to be able to assess the fallout without a ton of manual effort. E.g., sometimes a security hole can only be remedied by restricting certain inputs (like with Heartbleed), and that's technically a breaking change.

Monorepos let you make that assessment within a certain scope, as does Amazon's internal build system. It's not a feature you want exercised regularly, but it sure is helpful when you need it.
>I’ve never tried this, so take it with a heap of salt, but you might have better luck with the diffing if you developed a process that unzipped the file contents into your repo after you’re done editing it, and then zipped the contents back up with the right extension when you want to edit it again.

I have a current project where one of the other developers has tried this. It might work for a solo project, but with multiple developers on Windows (Excel) and Linux (Open Office), I find that Open Office feels a need to continually fuck with unrelated fields. Editing a single field in an xslx file results in changes in a dozen files in the unpacked version. Making any more complicated changes results in a diff that's impossible to manage.
> Sounds like the engineers were just entertaining themselves with shiny toys rather than solving the problems they actually had.

More like, sounds like management was trying to get as much money as quickly as they could from their VCs before it all imploded. The engineers aren’t at fault that management didn’t have a real product or vision.
If I search for a Windows problem on Google, I'll get tons of long generic content that contains very basic advice and lots of steps. They look like hastily-written tech sites with lots of ads that try to win with SEO.

If I search with `site:reddit.com`, I get actual users discussing their problem and what solutions they've tried.
Most accounts are that those failures are "rare"; the missile is sealed in a canister so it's likely to be a defective missile from the factory, not some mistake on the part of the operators.

It happens enough that there are a handful of videos on Youtube. Similar failures happen with vertically launched missiles from ships
