It's probably useful to be exposed to a variety of fields when you're at school - that's why we study so many subjects that we won't use directly in our careers. Programming is like that too.

It's like asking why kids should study chemistry or literature - they don't have to but it's probably a good idea. I don't think programming is more special in any way (even though personally I might like it more than those other fields).
Have you developed anything with that microcontroller, or tried to use that datasheet?

An ATTiny10 or PIC16F is so much better documented, so much better supported, so much more featureful, and so much better in every way that the average small-volume product design house will never make up the 40-cent price difference per part. How many development hours or support hours can you bill before you're penny-wise and pound foolish?

Oh man, do I believe this. I think every profession does this, tbh, I saw a lot of developers try to do stuff just to impress the rest of the team, but designers are one of the most impactful because they don't do stuff that is _so obvious_ like this one

I am not sure if I can follow your arguments. Why would GDPR result in Europe never producing a Google or Facebook? I can imagine arguments that a product that has to abide to the EU rules could be less competitive outside EU, but the same issues apply for Google and Facebook if they want to continue operating within the EU.

Since both Google and Facebook are slow to comply to GDPR and are perhaps in the dubious position of having to comply to competing USA/EU regulations, presumably EU based companies would have an edge within the EU.

If you mean GDPR results in less companies being able to grow to the current scale of Facebook and Google, because the global market gets splintered I can see your point. That would imply an impact for Facebook and Google as well though. Personally, I would not object to that.
Well your previous logic is refuted and now you're just moving on to some other shit like you never said it. Not a good look.
Literally every industry has industry circle jerks like that.

You always get some people who build asinine crap in order so show off their "mastery" of their craft. It's just that product design and web development have more money sloshing around to provide for that kind of indulgence than residential plumbing and semi trailer manufacturing do.
agree, I often edit url directly in the browser
I wonder to what extent this is due to competition from Deno (& Deno Deploy). Deno Deploy is new and probably haves less users than Cloudflare by a wide margin, but (before this announcement) I would prefer to use Deno Deploy or Fly.io instead of Cloudflare Workers.

Deno follows the same philosophy as Cloudflare Workers - it’s a web compatible, secure-by-default V8 runtime for server code. But instead of only running on Cloudflare’s service, Deno can run anywhere and has a growing ecosystem of modules ready to use, including a NodeJS compatibility shim. You can even emit NPM modules from Deno code using a build step. Because Deno is open, companies like Slack have adopted it as part of their first-party APIs (https://slack.com/blog/developers/faster-simpler-way-build-a...).

I think open sourcing the runtime is a good move from Cloudflare, but even as open source, will they be able to build an ecosystem to rival Deno over the long run? Their big moat/lock-in is still the rest of Cloudflare’s APIs - but with an open local dev environment perhaps it’s easier to convince someone like me to use https://denoflare.dev/ and have the best of both worlds.
The esbuild Transform API is my preferred way to go for simple minification: https://esbuild.github.io/api/#minify

esbuild does also include support for bundling and TS compilation and the like, but it’s still faster than just about anything written in JS for just minification AFAIK

It looks like a 1 year old baby. They still sleep a lot and don't run too far away. He will publish a retraction next year :) .

From the article:

> Everywhere has diapers and baby food.

The baby food depends a lot on the parents. After 6 months we use a restricted list of normal food for the baby. But some of my friends use very specialized baby food, perhaps until 3 years old. So YMMV.

Diapers is never so easy. I still remembering going to the supermarket with my wife, and one of my task was to buy diapers. There is a huge wall full of diapers of different prize, discounts, brand, quality, baby sizes, package size, and additional stuff. I just stared to the wall for 10 minutes comparing all the options until my wife arrived. After 5 more minutes of staring, we choose what looked like the best option. (The following supermarket visit were easier. We just used the previous selection unless there is a big discount by other brand.)
If I travel, I hope they are use in the package the same baby photo that they use here, because I don't want to translate all options.
> Not sure if there's still tools out there where a 13 year old kid with no technical experience can immediately get gratification with something so simple on a computer.

I can't answer that for a 13 year old, but I can for an 8 year old. Minecraft. The elaborate stuff my daughter built at that age is way more gratifying than anything I could have built as an 8 year old.
According to Rawls, to make good laws, we need to make laws behind a veil of ignorance - law makers need to consider things at an abstract level. It's very difficult to get that level of abstraction when everyone knows the particularities of everyone else at the local level.

There's also the question of the size of the talent pool that you draw your leaders from.
Shogun, the TV miniseries, is pretty good. It features actual Japanese stars like Toshiro Mifune, and spoken Japanese (without subtitles) during much of the show, which was novel at the time.

I think the other commenter referred to an unrelated TV show with a gang leader calling himself "a Shogun".

Show HN: Cloudy – an IAS tool for managing production-grade cloud clusters
Hey guys!

Recently, I was struggling with cloud infrastructure deployment and had the idea to create a tool.

If you know how to code but are not familiar with clouds then this is a great way for you-just use Cloudy templates which are actually based on Pulumi.

Let's push "infrastructure as code" so it can be used by everyone!

Former Apple Design Chief Jony Ive Shares His 12 Favorite Tools
> The parent post addresses this: there are so many ways for for the system to fail that it’s not feasible to “inventory every possible problem in a computerized system and then provide a graceful exit”. So where an error is not gracefully handled, the system should allow for a human to see the error and solve the problem, rather than throw away the error.

Yes, that's what I said as well. It's why I said the problem was that Apple didn't follow the book's advice, insofar as they removed error messages without providing help for them... and so it's unfair for the grandparent-comment to blame the book when its rule wasn't followed.
The game changes in dimensions beyond synergies and quests. For instance, there are new runewords. D2 is the pinnacle ARPG with a die-hard community, so even minor changes to area levels, runewords, or skill attributes can open up all sorts of new possibilities.

I’d personally prefer if the gaming community wasn’t so monoculturally driven to a prescribed set of game attributes (e.g. end game content, DLC, battle royale, loot boxes, skins, sandbox, open world). D2 isn’t for everyone nor should it be :)
I wonder too. There seems to be some element of WYSIWYG as the font can take different sizes. For 1979, it is pretty advanced. Xerox Bravo was doing this a few years earlier but Xerox was well in advance of its time.
We’ve had amazing luck working with some inherited Cuisenaire rods (colored, sized rods). My 5yo and I are working through the Gattegno Mathematics book. It jumps straight into formula notation using the color names (2 white rods equals a red, as 2w = r), which has actually helped with writing and letter formation. I’ve been amazed how good the system is at introducing math concepts WITHOUT focusing on counting.
Hi, I am not sure what "false VPN propaganda" you are referring to? In the GitHub README there is no "propaganda" and it contains mainly just the facts about the project. If you would like to clarify your comment please reply.

Render is the closest I've seen to the simplicity of Heroku.

Fly.io is also good, but when I tried it (6 months ago) it had a bit more of a learning curve and the documentation was still pretty sparse.
The issue isn’t with the registration, which is another issue altogether. It’s with them tracking the behavior somehow and then deducing their age to such confidence that they threatened to delete their account in 14 days. It wasn’t a guess.

And yet they are so fallible in their other forms of detection like fraud that lock people out of their accounts. The entire thing is creepy and maddening at the same time.

Used it briefly. A lot cheaper and seemed pretty similar.
I think there’s quite a lot of options for static webpages now though. Would GitHub pages not be perfect for this?
Quick question, why just don't collect data that is not essential for your product? Is it because you are jealous that some bastard still collects it and you don't want to be the sucker that respects the laws?

or this non-essential data is making you enough money? Be honest, some people here appreciate capitalists with no morals, blame the game not the player kind of people
It’s pretty fast, but I’m not sure it’s the fastest.

If you want throughput, hardware-based h.264 gonna be faster than JPEG while delivering better quality. It’s possible to configure the encoder so it only emits keyframes (I-frames), which makes the video stream a sequence of independent compressed frames. However don’t forget about parameter sets, i.e. SPS/PPS blobs – the decoder gonna need them for each frame.

If you want latency, consider BC1 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d10/d3... or BC7 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d11/bc... They are lossy codecs usually used for textures in 3D scenes, the decoders are implemented in hardware in all modern PC GPUs. The algorithms are way simpler than JPEG, also easily parallelizable. Compression ratio is much worse though, for RGB24 images it’s 33% for BC7 and 17% for BC1, JPEG compression is way more efficient.
I expected these to still be pretty low quality, but surprisingly some quick tests shows that EasyOCR seems to be doing relatively decently at pulling text out of smartphone pics of documents.

Thanks for sharing these -- it's maybe just my very bad searching skills but I had been trying to set some stuff up with Tesseract and had come to the conclusion that I just couldn't use it for document photos and would either need to abandon that effort and buy a faster scanner, or hook into some proprietary service like Google/Apple.

Both of these look really promising, so now I'm excited again about the potential of setting up a fast Open Source way to digitize my documents.
There is no explicit incentive in Universities to make innovations(or work) at the current state-of-the-art of Eng. in software. At least where I live (Chile), we have outdated courses, filler courses that even some teachers say they could be shorter, we have not "a big and fruitful community" of programmers, and so on.

You are NOT rewarded for knowing more info, techniques or anything that are not in the courses. Do you know Linux/Unix? Fine, no one cares. Do you know X language with Y framework? That doesnt give you more grades or be able to skip courses (you cant skip). Do you know about cross-compiling, new shiny things about the field that could be INTERESTING? No one cares.

At least they could make a club or especial program, but nope.
Just FYI, the game bar only allows you to record one app at a time, which isn’t usually what I’m trying to do.

Oddly enough, PowerPoint includes a screen recording tool that is fairly robust.
You can think of the U.S. Bill of Rights as taking "power from voters to make decisions and manage commonly held resources". You might think of the above claim as simplistic, but it's no less so than is "yay democracy".
This is eerily similar to my experiences with two very, very good DBAs I worked with.

I'm now wondering if there is something about the role that lends itself to such behavior. One day they are super pleasant, helpful and friendly. The next they are chewing people out for seemingly minor and random transgressions and saying things like "ruining my fucking database".

True, but it'd be difficult to both make arrests based on info learned from having broken Tor, and keep it secret that they'd broken Tor. It's possible by obscuring how they got information (e.g. via parallel construction), but difficult to do at scale.

If you're interested in building realtime web apps with Postgres and React, check out https://thin.dev/

Next to great user experience, building your application in a realtime way also allows to simplify the state management in certain parts.

A typical react app might use something like redux to store a subset of the application's database state locally. Now whenever you do any write operations to your data, you need to make an API call and also make sure the local redux state is kept in sync.

When you're embracing realtime everywhere, you avoid this, because any write operation automatically updates your realtime data, so you don't need to manually e.g. update your redux state. This allows you to skip a lot of the code that's needed for state management locally, so it saves a lot time and bugs (less code => less bugs).
Nice! Just lookin for something similar. Thanks, will check it

wtf? how else are our Silicon Valley overlords supposed to check in on us, how else do they prematurely wear down our gadgets so we have to pay expensive money for their tech team to un-glue and then re-glue a battery inside, or to replace the gadget entirely (with various components still functional, but turned into e-waste due to their fundamental black-box proprietary nature?
Your assumption would be wrong. They were never asked their age and even if they were they would know to ask me what to do because I told them that they would get locked out if they put in the wrong numbers. And as expected they can no longer post to YouTube for some reason even though there are plenty of YouTubers below 13.

This is such a weird take.

First off, Norman wasn't schooled at Apple, he basically created the HCI guidelines with Nielsen. Apple's design guidelines have long been based o years what Norman worked on so you have it the other way around.

In no part of the book does it say that engineers shouldn't be part of the design process. What the book advocates is that if engineers are entrusted with design, they should at least understand the users and design their products based on their needs and for the users. Anyone can be a designer, anyone can apply design thinking. No one is excluded.

And your comment about error codes, I would always say that an error message is more useful than an error code. You say that you would Google the code, wouldn't it be more useful if you could just read the actual error code and figure out what went wrong without habing to look it up first somewhere else?

What Norman advocates for is to help the users help themselves, show the state of the application and don't hide things behind error codes.

Again, silently failing is definitely not recommended by the book or anyone really so if thats been your experience with Apple, it's not because they follow the teachings of Norman's book, it's because they _don't_ follow it.
I can think of at least two reasons:

* Information technology is important enough that it's worthwhile having at least a passing understanding of how it works internally.

* It's important to learn how to be rigorous when organizing information and procedures. Learning to program can help with both.
I grew up in a restaurant family, and it's a rough business. Long hours, often seasonal revenue swings, subject to forces outside your control, etc. Sadly, many of the things that make your life easier or increase your revenue often decrease the quality of the restaurant. Buying pre-chopped cole slaw saves time and effort, but it's never as good as what you chop yourself. Making your own stock is 10x better than buying stock, but it requires bones and time and labor to make it happen.

This is why the most successful restauranteurs tend to be some combination of perfectionists, savvy marketers, and wealthy. There tends to be a streak of ADHD too, where they thrive on being constantly in motion and moving from problem to problem - certainly I've seen that over and over again in restaurant kitchens and offices.

Meiji leadership Buddhist? You seriously need to remove your blinkers. The "Meiji Buddhist Reform" was sweeping and extremely violent and 40,000 Buddhist temples were lost to riots or repression over the period. The new syncretic state-sponsored religion of Shinto was made to replace Buddhist and cut Japan from its Chinese cultural ties and demonstrate to the West that Japan could belong to their club.

Eating mostly polished rice or wheat is not optimal from a health perspective, so quite logically people transitioned from eating miserly diets to eating enough they started becoming taller, etc. That has very little to do with the meat itself and much more with the fact that people would previously mostly eat enough carbs to get by and children would never receive the best share in nutritional terms. Solve that and you probably can explain almost all of that effect. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/rice-disease-mystery-e... gives some insight on how primitive prescriptive dietary approaches were around the Meiji period. You can see the same magical thinking around the power of rice and meat in contemporary Madagascar and it's not pretty.

Thank you, that's what I thought it might be. Good to hear someone else's opinion and experience.
I read it: 'UN wants to curtail their 5-years-plan 'agenda 2030' to be finished in 2025 , cos they are planning to impose you with their might (davos 05-22-2022 who want to overrule health, stripping sovereignty and if thats succsessful, forbidding nationalism world wide) to use the same _scare_tactics_ - as other western nations (media-driven experiment) before (-migration -covid-19 -war in ukraine for example), saying now - 'The UN welcomes you to 1,5 disaster per day beginnig in 2030!' (-; No... and while that wasn't about money, have you ever thought 'rising markets are an equivalent of increased productivity' ? ^^
Some days ago there was a headline: 'productivity is on an 75-year low.'
But in terms of asking 'Is that a participation-thing?', i might enjoy what you wrote, sry, won't sound offending... (-:
And from that, to what stands out is that the knowledge is "locked up". I'd say that resonates with the experience people generally have with computers. New technology tends to be less legible.
