>any software project that is driven by a BDFL wouldn't be open source, including Linux.

There are certainly a push in that direction. And that you need a group of people, core or council to be considered as Open Source. And Linux has that.

>The terminology hasn't drifted that much.

It depends how you measure it, but Twitter and HN are at least two places where lots of developers are suggesting Open Sources equals to Community driven. And yes, there are also some movement towards MIT, BSD or Apache 2.0 as being not considered as Open Source because they do not contribute back changes. Although that hasn't gotten any traction. ( yet )
> Schwartzenegger was basically the only GOP politician that was a vocal environmentalist while he was in office, and it wasn't just to appease the California voting base, he probably limited his political career by advocating strongly for global warming policies.

Randy Hunt (R), who was believed to be who would have taken Senator Warren's (D) Senate seat if she was VP, was also quite the environmentalist.

When I watched him debate a democratic contender for his seat in the MA house of reps, he was much more knowledgeable about how to combat climate change. The democrat just wanted to throw solar panels everywhere, but Hunt was working with MIT to develop storage technologies for renewable energy.

* CRUD: Faiss indexes are static, if you want vector search over data that users can edit freely, it's not easy to use FAISS for this
* Non-vector filtering: Often you need to do a search based on some structured query + rank the results by vector similarity. FAISS can only do vector similarity.
It's not that they "can't survive". Their life just might be substantially worse.
Another thing for us on HN to note. This is how most people ask questions. It is not just that the other way is wrong - it is also less common.
Electric cars don't have enough area for solar power, and planes have even less.

I agree yet in the article google is criticised for having the official docs as search result 1.

The A6100 (linked above) isn't a full-frame camera either.

It uses a APS-C sensor (dimensions of 23.5 x 15.6 mm). The Micro Four Thirds sensor is 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm

Full Frame is 24 mm x 36 mm.
What's not clear to me is whether other participants of the meeting are aware of my sound while my mic is "muted".

I'm far less concerned about the videoconference system hearing me than my other meeting participants. This morning during a boring company-wide meeting I accidentally fell asleep (it was an early morning meeting and I was still in bed!)

All that said, it should really be a right of consumers that audio and video capture devices have a physical on/off switch.

wow, ESX, I have not seen anyone talk about that for a long time, you must really hold a grudge...

I never used Veeam with ESX so I can not comment on that.

No I really do not, you do not run Veeam on either ESX or ESXI, veeam connect to vmware with API calls, so .....

It also doesn't happen on MacOS where you can see the indicator dot go away after a call. Teams just has a lot of bugs.
I actually like how Zoom can warn you that you're muted if you start talking, happens to me all the time. And that obviously wouldn't be possible without keeping the access to the mic. So the light being on is OK for me. However continuing to stream the sound to the server is a huge problem, if it's really what's happening - but we can't confirm that without knowing which app is in question...
Ah! I didn't read the image caption. You're right, it's explicitly Kanban. There goes my insightful HN comment!

(I will leave the agile religious implications for wiser heads, and just enjoy the sermon.)
I am a 24 year old in the United States. In 2020, I graduated with an Associate’s degree in Software & Web Development from a small technical community college. Since then, I have applied to hundreds of dev jobs and other tech related jobs. Out of the hundreds of applications I’ve put in, I’ve had a total of two interviews. My first interview was with a very small web development company with connections to some of the professors at the community college I attended. They offered me an unpaid internship which I wasn’t interested in because I am not willing to work for free. I got my second interview thanks entirely to nepotism; my mother sells software made by the company. I was applying for a software engineer position which I quickly realized I was woefully unprepared for and, if I’m being completely honest, had no business applying for in the first place. After failing to answer a couple LeetCode questions on obscure topics I had never seen before, I withdrew my application in embarrassment and haven’t applied to a job since. My self esteem is non-existent and I feel like I’ve wasted most of my life at this point striving to be someone I’m not meant to be. I want to solve interesting problems and do great things and have a place in this world but it feels like there’s just no space for someone like me. What’s wrong with me?
> tax subsidies for fossil fuels

Does an industry that produces billions of dollars in profit per quarter really need subsidies?
This resonated a lot with me. Often if I'm learning a language and I see no one is doing what I'm querying for, I take a step back and try to ask a more basic question
People give Nixon a lot of shit, and rightly so, but it was his time when the most significant effort (perhaps on the planet) was out forth to address environmental issues. Some of it might have been honest, a lot was likely political; he's quoted as saying “All politics is a fad. Your fad is going right now. Get what you can, and here’s what I can get you” when talking about it [0]. The source linked for that quote is actually a really fascinating and reasonably apolitical read.

One might wonder how different things would be if it took until Carter or later.

> need to happen right now

This is usually the result of the argument never happening otherwise.

I’ve been on the other end, trying to bring a subject for 10, 20 times. But it’s a big enough issue that when it’s brought up the other party feels they “need more head space”, “not ready now”, “need to get rid of some other stuff first”.

This probably means I’m not reading the room well enough, but thing is, the other party doesn’t come back to the discussion table when they’re ready to talk it out.

So at some point you come to the conclusion that timing doesn’t really matter, and except if their parents are literally on their dying bed, you’ll have to plow through their circumstances if you ever want that discussion to happen. So we ended up with a 3h hour cry and sob discussion in a parking lot after buying toilet paper in the middle of the night.
That’s how I did one of my more impactful deduplication/deletion scripts. It had to reach across environments to do its work. But there was no way to send any flags to it to do stuff. The environment names were hard coded, so like dev-uw2 reaching out to stg-ue1. It would output a dry run result by default. And you could look and see what was going to get deleted and from what environment.

Because the names were hard coded, I had to get changes approved in GitHub. Then the script would run on Jenkins.

That script was also only for that purpose and nothing else. It made a mess because I needed a ton of functionality around creation and querying, too. I just copied the script to folders and modified them as needed but a better solution would’ve been to make a python module. I just liked the code itself being highly specific to what the script was doing to help reduce mistakes. If I’m running a script to delete repos, I need to go to the delete-repos directory.
IIRC, you could only utilize ECP mode with a laplink brand cable (which would give you the faster transfer rate). Otherwise, you had to use EPP. I used the latter with a regular parallel cable with an adaptor I soldered with a certain pin to pin configuration.

> At times I get the sensation that it just becomes like waking on eggshells to constantly mitigate somebody's upsetness of irrelevant (to me) things.

If you are not the one with the issues, then it sounds like your wife may be an Obsessive Compulsive Personality Type - this type of personality has a need for orderliness, neatness, perfectionism and mental and interpersonal control. Basically, their thinking is that they have "figured out" a process for doing something, and if that process is not followed to the dot, it will not result in the desired optimal / perfect result (this causes them anxiety, which makes them feel that they are losing control over their life / relationship, and they become even more obsessed and compulsive to "regain" control).

They are a bit difficult to live with, even if they can be really wonderful, caring and loving human beings. Often some counselling for anxiety (consider cognitive behaviour therapy), and insights into how their unrealistic expectation and actions can be troubling in a relationship can often make them more empathetic to the other person in a relationship, and smooth things over.

(Be wary, as my assumptions about your wife could be quite wrong. Best to consult a therapist).
There is a lot to learn from the article. It is easier to be right, and harder to show compassion.

>React is patented and Facebook is actively choosing not to offer a patent grant,

By that definition any "Open Source " MIT or BSD licenses that does not offer patent grant has problems.
i disagree for one reason. you really don't want the tooling or the process to rot. running it automatically normalizes the scary. otherwise you have bespoke tools in indeterminate states being run by people who are learning how to run them again. that's when i believe things get dangerous.

if it forces additional fail safes or backups to be able to do so safely, then that's probably a good thing to have anyway, no?
> "quick" phone chats with recruiters who refuse to just dump info over E-mail

This is definitely a pain, 100%. I've read as many as 90-95% of messages some engineers get from recruiters don't include comp at all within the outbound, it's a shame! On top of that, it's many times impossible to understand anything deep about the company, what projects they have going on, information about the team members you'd be working with etc. Recruiting, and job descriptions in general, can do so much more than they do today and actually be an asset to engineers instead of time drains.
All ponzi schemes start with smart people. The more complicated it is, the more "magical" it becomes for those that have been swayed. It's a religion for some, a cargo cult for others, and a grift machine for the criminals.

But scratch the surface and peer underneath, and you can see what it truly is.

We don't laugh at the people who started the ponzi schemes. We don't laugh at the people that lost their money and learned their lesson.

No, we laugh at the people who despite the clearest of clear headed reasoning still insist on wrapping their logic tighter than a pretzel. We may not all do it publically -- even though there are those that do -- but we do laugh, and are amazed how people got sucked into a tech cult.
> higher altitude significantly increased the likelihood...

This idea looks promise, but Denver is not high enough to make much difference from sea level.

From experience, radiation detector shows significant raise from ~6000m, and at standard civilian airplane echelon 10k m, it buzzes continuously :)

Most probably, errors caused from electric surges or from some local radiation anomaly, or from something like radar equipment.

- I hear, in few places in world exists old buildings, even churches, build from stone with high content of natural radionuclides, so there radiation is significantly higher than standard level, but not too high to cause fast people death, so nobody care, but it departments found unexplained errors ;)

Btw, stone with high content is widely distributed. After Chernobyl, we pay this much attention, and know, for this first care in Sweden in 1940s, all other countries after 1950s.
And one person even said me, that near our city there are two mines, stone from one used for industrial buildings, for roads, and from other for homes.
I hate it as much as any other geek, but it did pretty much fly with apple. Even when it was as bad as "You're holding your phone wrong" bad.

On MySql I used group_concat function to do the same thing.
For dev-types and general tinker-problemsolver types, that's assumed.

I can't count how many things I've made, most of which I abandoned after I stopped needing them. Sometimes I just make a one line shell script that uses a command line util, and other cases I'll write a bigger "script" (higher level programming language" which often still leverages command line tools.

As compared to all of the Republicans who didn't take climate change seriously who have done as well or better in California politics concurrently with or after Schwarzenegger’s term?

I'm a little unclear on the concept. You say storage medium, as if the graphite is expected to remain at very high temperature for an extended period. Preventing a chunk of super hot graphite from cooling is, if anything, an even larger engineering challenge than getting it that hot in the first place!
The same as the guy in the article was imprisoned by the United States?

EDIT: Putin puts people in jail for not following marching orders. The U.S. puts people in jail for not following sanctions. It doesn't seem logical to draw a distinction on what is or is not warlike (bullets vs sanctions) based on who jails people, since they both jail people who disobey orders. I assume other factors would be more relevant?

Hello!

I am one of the authors of the paper in this thread. You can find the paper here: https://wiscprivacy.com/papers/vca_mute.pdf. I can also answer any questions you have about the research.
Out of interest why not just use an RSS feed for the top posts?
These models are definitely entering the space where no one could ever get bored of them, and many styles can be generated.
Yes. There are far too many to mention all of them, but here are some that are probably among the more recent.

Windows clipboard capture to file tool. Any new image placed on the clipboard is written to a sequentially-numbered file so that I can just hit various Print-Screen key combinations or I can right click an image in a browser and click Copy to capture it.

Python / PIL scripts to arrange directories of images into seamlessly connected wallpaper images.

Lots of email automation scripts, both sending and receiving. ( Pruning spam, marking all of my unread messages read, sending alerts for blog post updates. )

Scripts to convert filenames to all lowercase in a folder.

Startup scripts that forcibly turn off Windows options that I don't want because Windows update sometimes re-enables these.

Python/Bash + Cheese - Poor man's security system. I used an old netbook with the camera pointed at the inside door of a house I used to own take a picture of the door area and send it to me via email so that I could monitor to see if anyone had been inside while I was gone for an overnight trip.

Custom RSS aggregator scripts ... sends results to me in email so that I keep a record of the articles by day.

Someone mentioned the lightning bolt means a contradiction so best guess is "use the left-hand rule"?
I'm going to guess the hardware switches and key combos went away because they are too confusing for users. I remember constant complaints of "Internet doesn't work" because the wifi hardware switch was turned off. And as the saying goes, if the majority of users are using it wrong, it was designed wrong.

I think Apple picked the right middle ground by making access to the mic and camera a permissions request as well as showing a clear indicator to the user whenever these are active. Steve jobs said the best UI is to ask the user for their data when you want it and keep making them aware of this access every time you use it.
"real digital cameras" have all of those features you mentioned as options.

"real photographers" set up their camera with the settings they prefer and develop in post. i'm deliberately using quotes there as photo journalists have been forced to do certain things that would go against the norms as mandates have come down upon them. These mandates are meant to ensure claims about mainipulation in post has a little ground to stand on, but the people making those mandates don't understand what they are mandating with their PHB directives.
The body does a lot of very interesting things just before you die. Hospice nurses will tell you that bedridden people, who haven't spoken in days, will get up and seem back to normal. Apparently, the body floods itself with hormones to ease you into death, which makes people appear much better.

This is something I have been a witness to in my personal life, and you're right-- I don't have the tools to wrap my brain around this. I'm familiar with disabilities. I get that. You're unable to do this thing that other people find easy. But this.... this is a choice. If you can't regulate your emotions, you can't regulate your emotions no matter the context. If you can function just fine at work, but not at home, that's a choice you're making.

Or at least, that's how it looks from the outside.

I get that people who struggle to control their emotions would push back on that analogy, but I'm pretty accustomed to people creating whatever narrative they need to justify their behavior. Somebody acting badly and then making up a justification is something I deal with nearly every day.

It's hard for me to get a better justification than "maybe your 'personality disorder' is just being an asshole" past Occam's razor.

Is there something I could be reading about this to get a better picture? I know I'm coming at it from a general place of mental health, so, you know, that's not the best lens, but I also know I'm not crazy for thinking like this. Just maybe missing a puzzle piece.
That reduces your efficiency. The same amount of total heat energy is "worth less" at 500C than at 2000C.
I always get a good chuckle out of burping and farting while on "mute" because I have seen the traffic.

No expectations of privacy should be the norm when you have mics and cameras. In fact, cameras are easy to handle. Just cover it with something and you're done. Nice continue to listen even if you block them
