In my experience it's always about what I'm talking about. My wife often refuses to clean up after herself, I tell her "Please pick up the iced tea bottles you left on the floor" and she goes into a rant about one time 5 years ago when I didn't pick up a something and engages in lots of deflection. Then she says stuff like you said "Your just upset that you have a meeting at work", when really it's I'd like to not pick up after her.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

If your behavior is outside of the social norms (eg. you leave dishes out for others to clean) then admit fault and move on. If they bring something else up maybe you are correct in your thesis but why are you defending yourself when you are being a slob?
Only if you assume the 5% of features to be a contiguous block each time.

However, if we assume there are, say, 100 features in Word (the real number is likely much higher), the number of combinations is orders of magnitude higher than 20.

> I just don't understand why cities in California won't let go of single unit zoning.

People like to live in single family homes and live next to single family homes.

> Ever visit a beautiful city like Paris, Copenhagen, Milan and wonder why we don't have that? It would be illegal to make the buildings they have under our zoning code and parking mandates!

You won't get a beautiful city like those with any kind of [realistic American] zoning. It's too expensive. You'd get flimsy modern cookie-cutter buildings and maybe some brutalist concrete hulks.
I find that usually (but not always...) restarting Teams works. I chalk it up to "made by Microsoft". People make fun of me at work when I ask them if they tried rebooting it whenever they have a problem (the company I work for runs Windows on the desktop, I'm the odd one out running Linux).

I used to think that this was an issue with me running Linux, and an "unsupported" distro at that (Arch). But I'm always reassured (in a way) when I see people having the exact same issues I do on Windows, with basic, run-of-the-mill configs (I have multiple sound cards, some of which come and go).
The way I deal with this: make a good profit, pay myself a decent salary and the remainder as dividends, invest those in very low risk asset classes myself. It isn't quite as tax efficient as a pension scheme would be but the chance that the money will be there when I need it is about 100%.
I don't see this as a valid comparison. There is information loss. This has happened to my team which had about 50 people and it was very chaotic. It took us several days to just create the state our features were in.

Today it would even be more troublesome as we have a lot of integration rules dependent upon the workflow. I'd probably just recommend everyone uses a few weeks for self improvement and only address critical production issues.

Tell HN: AdSense pauses monetization on condoning / dismissing Ukraine war
Email received today from Google.

- - -

Dear Publisher,

Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.

Please note, we have already been enforcing on claims related to the war in Ukraine when they violated existing policies (for instance, the Dangerous or Derogatory content policy prohibits monetizing content that incites violence or denies tragic events). This update is meant to clarify, and in some cases expand, our publisher guidance as it relates to this conflict.

This pause includes, but is not limited to, claims that imply victims are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or deliberately attacking its own citizens.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
I wanted to record Jeopardy everyday.

A Tivo subscription was too expensive, so I built my own DVR software to record from Locast. Worked like a charm until Locast shut down.

I had to replace it with a bunch of cron jobs + shell scripts which record using a local TV antenna connected to a NUC.

Puts out nice little mp4 files into a NFS which I can access anywhere in the world over Tailscale.
It's simple. Most video conferencing apps that I've used will let you know that your mic is muted when you try to speak and your mic is muted.

If you think they're doing something else, then don't use it. If you think you don't have a choice because your employer requires you to use it, your choice is not in whether or not to use the software. If it's something you care about, there's always a choice.

I don't think it's possible to pinpoint why relationships dissolve. Sure, there is always "something," be it dirty dishes, a certain habit, etc. But usually, these are context-specific complaints, meaning the person complaining about e.g. dirty dishes could be happy in a totally different relationship where their partner also didn't do the dishes. Ultimately relationships break down because one or both people stop trying. Caring about the dishes is a symptom of, or response to, relationship apathy, not the cause.
> Marrying someone with ambitions doesn't mean the ambitious spouse gets full control over where the other partner lives and the relationships the other partner can have.

Not the OP nor GP, but I think the person who sought after an ambitious spouse is equally responsible for understanding the trade-offs.

The term “married to their career/job” was an old term when I was a child growing up in the 1970 and 1980s.

That ambition comes at a veey well-known cost.

I’ve also read and heard more than my fair share of dissolved marriages, because the main provider was always working; but how many spouses are willing to live far beneath their means, to accommodate for a better work life-balance?
This is a huge increase. This reads like the spiritual end to Amazon free shipping.
It is generally rude in Western cultures to assume that someone is being controlled by something outside of their own volition, ie, to imply that they have less than full agency. This is most likely borne out of the Enlightenment era and its emphasis on the ideal of individuals carving out their own destinies as the highest moral pursuit.

I personally think we will have to contend with the present and future of neuroscience research that investigates the distinction between which wills are truly free and which are conditioned on past experiences.

All that to say, however, that 'sexist is as sexist does'. If such language as in GP is used to denigrate the position of the woman in this disagreement by casting her as a nuisance to be managed externally, then that is sexist, because she is no longer afforded a voice in the discussion but is instead reduced to an object to be manipulated, the primary reason for this being her gender.

But I wouldn't recommend trying to close an argument by saying "Hey honey, I think you've been brainwashed by patriarchy. Don't you think we should try to challenge established hygiene and gender norms with this dirty glass standing as act of protest?"

In practice, though, at least coming from a Java/.NET background, DI would be understood as using something like a decorator/annotation/some registration mechanism to let the framework handle giving you a valid instance of the class that you're after, rather than straight up using the constructor whilst filling out the parameters manually.

While your example is technically true, it wouldn't be the answer that anyone in a programming interview (at least for those languages) might expect you to provide as an example.

That said, adopting the composition root approach in a Java project (or using a god-object for all of the services) was oddly liberating and felt way more simple than mucking about with appeasing Spring's @Autowired annotation and its finnicky nature.

I don't think an application has to actually do anything with the audio data in order to retain its access to the microphone. I'm not an expert here, but I'd imagine it's something like this:

mic = grab_access_to_mic()
while app_is_running:
if (is_muted):
pass
else:
send_that_audio(mic)

It also mentions some of the apps sending the muted audio "to the cloud", which seems completely unrelated to retaining access to the mic.

Also, seems like an honest mistake, but I think they got this backwards, right?

> They used runtime binary analysis tools to trace raw audio in popular videoconferencing applications as the audio traveled from the app to the computer audio driver and then to the network while the app was muted.

Wouldn't it be driver -> app -> cloud? I think I'm splitting hairs at this point though.

Lastly, it would be nice if this article at least listed the apps that were investigated.

Some recent small ones I wrote:

- wgetcheck (Python): Downloads a file with wget and verifies a provided hash, for my convenience. Also automatically verifies internal checksums in zip, gz, and other archives, and verifies the size and MD5 checksum provided in a HTTP header. I'll probably next add verifying the provided size of the file to provide some sort of basic check for files without provided checksums. This all would probably be better done by a browser extension, so maybe I'll write one later.

- freeze (Python): A script to update a hash file (same format as shaXXXsum) by adding new files and noting which no longer have matching hashes. Optionally sets the files as immutable [0] to prevent them from being modified or deleted. Intended to be used on files which aren't supposed to change or change infrequently.

This is the stupidest, laziest, and less informed article I’ve ever read from the New Yorker. I honestly don’t know how it got published.
You can point out / criticize trends and large-scale causes without stereotyping people or turning a trend into inescapable destiny.
We (the company I work for) are looking at it from an IoT perspective. There’s a lot of compute that the devices we deploy just can’t handle, but we need the low latency and regional/geographic context to process appropriately. We’ve considered using some of the CDNs and cloud compute at the edge but even then that wasn’t quite capable enough for us, so we have deployed our own compute units to our own edge locations to run our workloads (mostly computer vision and aggregations). There’s some roll up data that gets reported upstream but most of it goes back to the devices for use there.

(I’m being deliberately vague here for business reasons, please forgive me.)

Do they own valuable homes or do they own valuable land? I can see the land value increasing because it is now rezone-able and you can build multiple units worth on it.

This also depends on the local climate and wind direction. Here it is recommended that the holes face south. That helps against rain which is commonly coming from west as this is the prevailing wind direction here.

Kanban, by design, was a tool used in production control. It's one of the ways Toyota made their JIT production function.

I worked on the line (Toyoda Iron Works) and used a real-life Kanban implemented by the plant engineers. It was used for quality control, to broadcast quality control and station output, and was checked regularly against their internal estimates and baselines and used also as a gauge for employee output.

Control is what it's designed to do. The very fact that Kanban is the tool of choice should support at least some of OP's points, objectively.
Quite a few. Some I use regularly:

- Text snippet app to reply to support request emails. Use this to reply to about a dozen emails each day. I have over 300 snippets.

- App to got through a folder with my bank statement PDFs and produce a number of transaction and investment reports (calculates IRR and other metrics).

- An app to simulate all possible portfolio combinations for a given set of assets (this was before https://portfoliocharts.com)

- An egg timer that you can start before you set the time right after you put the eggs into the water. Those seconds are precious. Wrote this as a gift for somebody.

- App to generate monthly invoices for my app sales.

- A nice frontend to manipulate csv files.

While I was looking for an apartment, an app to look for new listings and notify me right away (often the nice apartments would already be gone by the time the daily email reached my inbox).

A workout timer. Simple app that tells me the time every 15 seconds. Throws in the occasional Tony Horton quote for motivation.

Oh, and a personal notes app, of course!

"They found that all of the apps they tested occasionally gather raw audio data while mute is activated, with one popular app gathering information and delivering data to its server at the same rate regardless of whether the microphone is muted or not."

The way I read that is, only one of the apps actually sends audio data to the server when the mic is muted. I'm not sure why they don't say which one, and I'm not sure what is meant by "occasionally gather raw audio data" but it could be as innocuous as the mute button not updating and a half second of audio being sent before muting starts. Nobody is building a machine learning profile out of that.

The real story here should be that one app where the mute button doesn't actually work. The others are all operating normally as far as I can tell.
Y’all… While I agree that narcissists are extraordinarily harmful, it’s possible OP and his ex partner’s communication dynamic is not indicative of her being a full blown narcissist.

Open to being wrong, however.

Even if the algorithms were here to do that job, where will the hardware come from?

There definitely won't be any singularity jumping off unless today's hardware gets another few decades of Moore's law, and that is not happening.
