GitLab team member here. And I totally agree - I forget to use them all the time!

And thoughts on making it easier? Maybe a suggested set of git aliases or some sort of wrapper?
You say it like he was teaching the gospel of Christ. Teaching a hostile foreign power how to evade sanctions is a crime for a reason, and if he wants to be a martyr against that principle then let him be one.
I know it's unmaintained now, but SimpleOSX VM defaulted to a Core 2 Duo.

Looks like it's successor also defaults to a Core 2 Duo, though with 2 cores and SMT.

That being said, just browsing through that site, it doesn't immediately seem like it's this family of Hackingtosh VMs adding significantly to the list or at all.
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat medireview mistakes.

(I'm old enough to remember when Yahoo's attempt at preventing cross-site scripting, blindly replacing eval with review, resulted in such shenanigans as "Please reviewuate my CV for Professor of Medireview History". Some of the corruptions persisted outside of Yahoo mail when people emailed text to themselves as a form of file transfer. Yes, this went into production in one of the two largest email providers at the time.)
What I find particularly odd about Hikaru is that he's a top 20 player in the classical chess format, but in the time-limited rapid/blitz formats, he's consistently in the top 2.* Something about his brain must degrade less under time pressure compared to other elite players

Who is looking for paragraphs and paragraphs of poorly written memories about their childhood in the countryside when they type in "gingerbread recipe"?

The fall leaves change colors along the windy path to Grandma's cottage with the crisp smell of freshly burnt firewood in the distance while my trusty spotted Labrador plays with me and my sister at the creek by the meadow. As Fido splashes playfully after a school of tadpoles, a scent of gingerbread cusps over the sunburnt field and tickles my senses like the first soft ray of sunshine on a dewdripped morning

I smell 1tsp of ground ginger as I remove a piece of driftwood and toss it on to the old cornhusks amidst overgrown willows as my companion chases after it. We race together back to the warmth of grandmother's kitchen overcome by the rapturous aplomb of allspice, cinnamon and cloves all at 1/4 tsp.

That was 40 years ago and I've longed to touch the perfection of those fretless childhood days of a memorized youth modified by dreams. This gingerbread loaf lets me relive the magic of a forgotten freedom with a preparation time of merely 90 minutes.

I close my eyes during the baking as I lie on my afghan rug in my Boston apartment knowing there's another generation of youth passing by idyllic days on those timeless Connecticut farms where the 1/4 cup of unsalted butter comes from.

I mean it's just insanity. I'm not doing them justice. The real stuff looks AI generated

I honestly don't think these people exist. It's just SEO food
> it was a waste of money/time to be working on the replacement at all, it turns out they didn't need it and did fine without it until it wasn't needed anymore

But that wasn't known. They expected to need it, and when circumstances changed, they canceled the project. It seems to have been a huge project; "don't start work on the project until you need it to be finished" was never going to work.

You can't judge people by what they should have done if they'd had perfect knowledge of the future. If anyone involved had had perfect knowledge of the future, they wouldn't have been working for the company anyway.
I made macOCR[1], it is an app that I used for years to make office work easier.

It is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.

You could invoke the app using the likes of Alfred.app, LaunchBar, Hammerspoon, Quicksilver, Raycast etc.

I only released it to the world when I swapped the backend out from being Google Vision to Apple's built-in OCR APIs.

I also made a "life management" app marcusOS [2], that does all the usual things you'd expect.

My most useful ones are honestly just spreadsheets. I made a "family debts" google sheet that we can input expenses into, and split amongst ourselves, and then use to optimally resolve debts between each other. It gets a ton of use, and allows us to just settle up every few months.
You clearly have not encountered the term “human sorting” eh?
One of my favourite books is called, "The Man Who Loved Books Too Much" (2010) which is the true story of a high-end book thief.

There's a scene in the book where the author is interviewing the thief in prison during one of his (several) custodial sentences, and the conversation goes something like this:

Author: You're intelligent, erudite, charming. Why don't you become a lawyer or something?

Thief: It takes about 10 years to become a lawyer, with undergrad, law school, articleing, etc. I don't want to do any of that. But say I did, a partner at a top firm makes what, $600k? That's around what I'm alleged to have made this year

Author: But what about the strain on your family?

Thief: Because lawyers don't get divorced?

It continues like this for awhile as the thief very persuasively argues the risk adjusted returns of high-end larceny
Hey HN! We made this extension that lets you run any python code on the web by using Pyodide. You can try it by installing this VSCode extension on GitHub.dev / VSCode.dev. Since it is using pyodide to run python code, there are some limitations which we have listed in the extension’s README page.
We made this scrappy extension quickly as a POC for Stanford’s Code in Place program. Let us know if this is interesting and what features should we add next!

I was trying to have no presumption about their intent or implication, perhaps there was something frequent in Hmong culture that was relevant...

However, sadly the Hmong are a highly discriminated group (at least my experience in VN), I volunteered at an orphanage for Hmong children and many didn't want them just because of their ethnicity

This is also why memtest has all these testing patterns, and one reason why you typically want to leave it running overnight (or as long as feasible) instead of "yup, we read and wrote all bits and it's all fine!"

Row hammer is one of those things that took advantage of something everyone already kind of knew, just never thought about as a security problem.
I've been doing macro photography with the big gear for over a decade, very actively, in the range of 1:1 to 5:1 and anything in between. I've also been using the macro mode on the iPhone13 Pro on the side, so I'm in the position to judge and compare.

The positive conclusion is that relatively speaking, when reasoning from a smartphone without any macro capabilities, it is a meaningful breakthrough. And this matters as for many people it's their only camera. If you enjoy current smartphone photography, macro is no gimmick, it's perhaps the style of photography that is most creative, fun, and full of untapped potential to get unique shots.

When comparing to the big gear, this should be seen as a start at best. It drastically falls short in many ways.

As a first example, the "Sea glass" photo. Which is wonderfully misleading. The photo is artistically attractive but technically crap. It lacks real sharpness and definition, there's the plastic-like noise reduction, and you'll see "trails" in parts of the image, a result of computational processing of multiple exposures.

Whilst you might not care in this case because the artistic quality distracts you from those glitches, they are a real issue in many photos. Macro photography is defined by a lack of light. The mobile workarounds are extremely aggressive and create tons of glitches all the time.

My second point is on the flowers. They are very large. And that's one of my conclusions, macro mode works pretty decently (for a phone) on decently sized subjects. It's closeup photography, not macro photography. To illustrate the difference in capability, the smallest flower is photographed is 3mm. I'm filling the frame with it and then still have 40-50MP of cropping space. And details are actual details, not some computed blur or guess.

Still, for a lot of people closeup photography is a new capability. I'm just saying to not think it rivals macro photography.

Finally, in macro photography subject isolation is important, clear details with a smooth and soft background. Macro mode does not do that, it fakes the blur and often gets it wrong. In particular it computes some kind of half-state: soft but still with details, which is optically impossible and looks crap.

Don't let my words discourage you though. It a step up in mobile photography, good to have this capability in your pocket. Let it make you fall in love with the endless possibilities of closeup/macro photography, and some of you might take it beyond the phone.
The biggest impact a former (or current) president can have is to use their position to influence the current debate.

It's great that GW Bush has an efficient electric home, but he's hardly used his voice and platform to speak out in support of renewable and zero carbon energy sources and fighting climate change.

If he had done so, perhaps a significant percentage of the population wouldn't perceive reducing use fossil fuels as a threatening identity politics issue, and rather as something that is better in the long run for their pocketbooks and the environment.

This may have something to do with his being a former oil executive, governor, and prominent resident of Texas, a major fossil fuel producing state, and therefore not having an interest in promoting anything that would challenge the bread and butter industry of his state and many other fossil fuel based economies around the world.

It's never too late for him to start speaking up against fossil fuels, though! It would be a great service to his country and the world if he did.
Humor me for a second: why not have them install the software themselves?

Yes, closer to 4x (120k-480k). Admittedly I was originally underpaid even for my market area and the rise of remote work has allowed me to find jobs in higher-paying markets.

Anyway, my main point was that I have found inbound job requests from recruiters or referrals to have a very high success rate.

> Take the time to outline answers to the common behavioral questions (“tell me about a conflict you had with a coworker” etc.) and practice talking through them, so you have examples at your fingertips.

This is good advice, but do not try to predict the question in advance, just tell a story you were going to tell anyway. Meaning, you should have 3-5 stories about accomplishments you made or problems you solved, stories you can reel off easily in 1-2min without uhh-ing to remember details, and when they ask a "Tell me about a time when..." question, just pick whichever one comes closest and tell it.

Fastmail is a fantastic service. I was paying for mail hosting with them when I switched to Gmail (back when you needed an invite to join Gmail) but switched back when when it was clear that Google was nothing but a surveillance capitalism outfit. The feature set is outstanding and for a very reasonable fee you get PRIVACY. I won’t be leaving Fastmail again.

I'm aware, which is why I phrased it like I did. A lot of folks don't know or understand the distinction when they're installing Git (or installing something else that happens to bring Git with it).

The overarching point is that the shell itself is not installing anything at shell runtime. E.g. it's the Git Bash installer, not opening `bash`.

> Imagine how your response would look like when applied to American South - that the Civil War was a terrible idea, because it destroyed a couple of churches and killed people, and the South isn't any better now without slavery. But given that you're repeating a trivially disproved lie (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1094118/china-per-capita...), I don't see the point in discussing this anymore.

So what you're saying is the American South was not part of the US and the US invaded it. And that any country that isn't doing as well as another country should be invaded and made better.

> Ah, I see you also know Taiwan better than its citizens.

Its China's own written history that tells us that Taiwan is not part of China. The people here do not consider themselves part of China and the minority who want to join China is growing smaller every day that China continues to threaten Taiwan, as well as whats happened with Hong Kong and Covid.
That doesn't stop trade with Saudi Arabia so it can't be used here.

>You can disagree with any or all of this,

I really appreciate you staking concrete positions on the countries. I mostly agree, but am on the fence about north Korea.

>You can disagree with any or all of this, but the underlying point is: we are within our rights to coordinate sanctions on any country for a diversity of reasons.

I think this is where we differ. Modern sanctions means we take everything that the opposition cant militarily stop us from taking. We seize bank accounts, ships, planes, loaned assets, all without respect for ownership.

In the might makes right context, yeah, we are within our rights. But this is in the realpolitik sphere where I have the right to murder every person that cant stop me.
I think if you have an active starter, it can be pretty much as quick as bakers yeast. The slow fermentation is just to give it more flavor.

I've never heard it called TBIR, always TBDR or just tile based rendering.

I honestly can't make heads or tails of the Twitter thread. It talks about having too many small reads/writes but that's the whole point of tile based rendering. You use the tile as scratch space to do operations that are expensive in system memory.

This approach is well over a decade old at this point and pretty ubiquitous in power constrained rendering scenarios[1]. Best I can tell you need to take architecture into consideration when trying to get the peak GPU usage which has always been true of any platform regardless of tiled or immediate mode rendering.

He was teaching them how to manipulate distributed database entries that they have the explicit permission to use via their own private keys. If that is anywhere near equivalent to murder then I have a bridge to sell you.

Next up teaching north korea how to farm better and how to dodge sanctions importing fertilizer is bad, because then their people wont starve as much and therefore can do more evil in the world via more energetic soldiers.

I have no idea if CNN is left-biased since I never watch it, but nobody else does either. Cable news is dominated by blatantly right-leaning Fox News.

The fact that "media is liberal" is taken everywhere as such an obvious unchallengable truism, no proof required, is to me proof of the opposite, conservative bias dominates our political discourse. I honestly feel like all I hear are conservative talking points, like cancel culture, critical race theory, trans stuff all the time, anti masks, SF is horrible, etc.
First impression is the lack of OSS business apps.

For example --- payroll. Every business with employees needs this. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

That's just your opinion. This leaves a ton of performance on the table and saves Apple basically nothing in cost. Many of us would call that a design limitation, even a design flaw.
Google sucks at image search but I just wanted to add, Bing either intentionally or unintentionally broke one of my porn searches. I'd search for "my-fetish-keyword-of-choice" and then pick to only show results for the last month. Since like January of February the results have been zero which I know, based on all the other places I look for content, is false. Content from sites that otherwise show up in Bing results. And no, I'm not looking for anything remotely illegal.
That is a fair concern. The tool only guarantees correctness up to the level checked by the tests you provide. So if all corner cases are not covered, RbSyn will generate some program that passes the tests, but might not pass unspecified corner cases. I suspect the missing cases will be clear with a manual audit of the synthesized code, and you can add update the synthesized code manually or add requisite tests.
But the answer is right there, section 2, starting on page 12 of the linked paper.

We're hackers. Autodidacticism is our creed. Research papers are our bread and butter. Why settle for speculation from the pseudonymous masses when a rich vein of well written analysis by reputable authors is one click away?
> It jails citizens who provide information on cryto trading.

I wish (kidding), but no, it jails citizens who travel to foreign countries to explain how to evade sanctions to people who would benefit from that information.

> It is no one's responsibility to feed anyone. People don't have a right to exist. People do whatever they can to survive around the world.

That's not what I said. I said that this obligation extends domestically. It may be good, nice, and moral - heck I support it - to save anyone you can on earth. It may even be a moral imperative but your obligation first and foremost is to your own at home.

> The countries that have decided to force these kids to die to further their geopolitcal goals are responsible for those decisions.

All I'm saying is if you rely on the relationships with others to survive probably don't poke them in the eye?

If you're dangling from a bridge, suspended by a rope, and some burly guy catches you. You realize you don't like his face. So you throw sand at him. He lets go of the rope, and you fall. Who's at fault? You could say it was the guy who let go of the rope. But for the love of all that is good and holy, why are you throwing sand at the only person keeping you alive?

Nobody owes you trade. Whether that's right, wrong, good, bad or anything else, it's fact. States would be well served to keep that in mind. It doesn't usually come up until the "and find out" part of "screw around and find out" happens.
The incredibly low skill floor is definitely a big part of the scene's success.

I know a number of veteran professional level designers are kinda worried about the field. So many of them got their starts playing around with the level creation stuff that frequently came with PC games. It got them interested and allowed them to walk before they could run. So they're a bit afraid a new generation might be starting from less than they had. There's some hope that maybe Minecraft and Roblox will be a younger generation's starting point.

Game development is the most accessible it's been in many decades, but level design specifically is perhaps less accessible than it was circa 2000.
Current Google search doesn't add features, it removes them (see end of + sign and other stuff). This is sadly the logical behavior of a "mature product". When you own the market, your rational question is "how much can I extract from the customers who already must come to me" and that means becoming more and more directive towards the customer. Letting the customers customize only stands against this.
Who said anything about judging people?

That's why you build another instrument that is demonstrably a factor of two more sensitive -- it either detects the new thing with much higher precision or credibly disproves the old measurement and makes forward progress at the same time.

If you can't do that, then you build another instrument that uses a different technique but reaches similar sensitivity. If the two instruments disagree, this will tend to lead to confusion and general wringing of hands. If at all possible, do the aforementioned higher-sensitivity plan.
So you didn't report the bug? Kernel developers absolutely LOVE those kinds of bugs, especially with such a trivial reproducer!
