> Tests are for teams of contractors that don't know how the product works.

The opposite. Tests are for people who know exactly how the product works. It's very hard to write good tests if you don't understand the product (or at least your piece).

I really hope you are being sarcastic. Tests when done properly speed up development and make your product more robust and resistant to breaking changes.

For a proof of concept that will never see production, sure, by all means don't write tests. But in my 15+ years in CTO and Principal role at smaller companies, the most expensive projects with the most downtime are always the ones without tests.

Tests make software cheaper not more expensive. And the ROI isn't even that long... all it takes is for two to three iteration / release cycles.
To be rejuvenated or to be replace ... is a question :D
A picture is not reserved for something we can see with bare eyes - an infrared camera produces a photo, we don't call that an illustration - such cameras are used in military, geology, earth mapping and agriculture, etc. Most images in industry and astronomy could never be seen with bare eyes, because our eyes can see only 1% of what our instruments can.

Ofcourse each wavelength of light works a bit differently, like with the X-ray example, you need to understand how X-ray works to understand what you are looking at.

A model or illustration is something that would be product of our calculation or imagination, that was given visual form.
I feel like there's an adequate market for a phone case with a high quality headphone jack, extended battery, sd slot, etc. It shouldn't more than double the thickness
Gato, to me, just makes me think "cat", which kind of has a fun ring along "cats on the internet". IMO it sounds more friendly than a robot with a robo-name like C-3PO!

However, I also have a nice robot-named-Gato association[1] from Chrono Trigger. :)

All of those product efforts are failures so far. Literally nobody outside hardcore twitter users knows what any of them are.
Smartphone upgrade cycles are annual/biennial. Car upgrade cycles average 7-10 years.

Not that I expect Tesla to dominate like apple and android have, but I do think we’ll need to wait a few more years before we know the answer.
It very much does. I have actually offensive party conversation starters that work even better. You don't have to enjoy talking with everyone.

edit: shouldn't party conversation be a little spicy? At least I'm not talking about party politics, sports events, or television shows. Or the weather, or how we all individually got to the party.
Sadly, still stuck with this hell infested cesspool that FB really is, to keep in touch with family.
yeah, people are still reconnecting with vine creators, on TikTok. You can see in the comments, a video came up on the user's feed and they were compelled enough to be like "are you so and so from vine!?" Vine was killed half a decade ago.
I don't have access to the paper but Dr. Charles Brenner seems to think that the study was inadequate: https://twitter.com/CharlesMBrenner/status/15248703642489528...

If you're interested in aging topics, he did a recent debate with Dr. Aubrey de Grey:

>Those are some appalling stories, but my intuition is that economic stress has been driving the crime uptick.

If we were seeing a broad-based rise in crime this point might be salient, but that isn't what is happening. The overwhelming majority of serious crime is committed by a very small portion of the population. Our refusal to deal with the fact and remove the small minority of people who repeatedly commit violent crimes is what is driving this crisis. Here in New York we are seeing the same relatively small group of people being arrested (and instantly released) over and over again. The attempted solution has been waving a finger in the air about "inequity" and "economic stress". Anyone caught with an illegal gun should be dealt with severely. Anyone caught repeatedly with an illegal gun should be locked up for a long time. The refusal of our politicians to deal with the crime issue in a measured and sane way is going to lead to an inevitable blowback by people who are tired of getting victimized and will be willing to support anyone willing to make the streets safe, no matter how bad they may be - which is something we should all want to avoid.
Any game you play has cheat codes. Do you use them? If not, why not?

In a post-scarcity world we get access to all the cheat codes. I suspect there will be many people who use them and as a result run into the inevitable ennui that comes with basing your sense of purpose on competing for finite resources in a world where those resources are basically free.

There will also be many people who choose to set their own constraints to provide some 'impedance' in their personal circuit. I suspect there will also be many people who will simply be happy trying to earn the only resource that cannot ever be infinite: social capital. We'll see a world where influencers are god-kings and your social credit score is basically the only thing that matters, because everything else is freely available.
Yeah, I think OP is right that this behavior is confusing for Windows users, but as a longtime macOS user I don't find it confusing or problematic at all.
It seems a bit rich to say that when your SaaS has <$5k in lifetime revenue.

I'd say it's even contrary to "laughing at the notion you have to be the first to ship a solution to a problem".
For Android you'll probably need root access (unless the app developer has opted in to loading your user-imported certificate authorities). For iOS this should be easier.

However, many apps apply cert pinning in production builds, which will require tools like Frida to disable them, which in turn requires root access/a jailbreak to function.

Alternatively, you could pull the apps from your phone without root (at least on Android), patch the most obvious cert pinning out (usually in the network manifest file) and install the new version.
Not just Windows though. *nix also.

But yes I know it's just how macOS works. I never really got used to it except that it ingrained "Command-Q" into my muscle memory :) I agree it makes sense for some apps. For example for mail, which will continue receiving in the background and notify you. But not for Maps. This is an app that isn't useful when its window is not open.

But I mean this uniqueness to macOS is causing this to cause unintended side-effects. While working in Apple Maps, I imagine the user would not care so much about latency issues and the location tracking would be useful. By the app shouldn't do it while it's not actively being used IMO, as long as there is no way to avoid the latency.

I wonder if the same happens with Apple's own FaceTime by the way, or if they made an exception for that :)
What next, will I be told that open-source users aren't ungrateful?

Seriously though, would it be a good idea for it to be acceptable and expected for project pages to list a donation method?
unless infants are sensitive to the tiniest possible CO2 concentration changes,.

Yes, they are. This is documented scientific fact.

in which case sitting in a car or other sealed space would be dramatically more likely to cause infant death

This is also not recommended. Note that nearly all modern automatically vent new air into the vehicle...
A third possibility is the stock market tanking and inflation rate spiking. Many top companies are either freezing hiring or downsizing.

However, it does look better on the balance sheet when you get rid of two of your major cash burning expenses and their future vesting schedules.

CAP rate = net operating income / value of the asset

Basically you can immediately increase the value of your company by lowering expenses without having to justify a lower CAP.
It's pretty widely known at least in Western Europe. I knew it from primary school history class in the Netherlands (long before the first Harry Potter book was published). Similar for German and French colleagues.

Not sure why the title should be changed to sound like it has something to do with magic. For people who are aware of the legend, the original title would mostly bring up associations with alchemy.
Well, probably not, no. There's about 286 thousand years of anatomically modern humans running around pre-historically (unless you're meaning very literal history), and numerous illiterate societies which left us mundane archaeological records. Your conclusion is invariably cherry picked. Not to mention the goalposts for the concept of criminal have shifted drastically as has the means to enforce law.
For what it’s worth CSS is all I knew prior to Flutter so the learning curve was a bit weird initially but once you start matching concepts you already know like Flutter also has “flexbox” for example it was pretty easy from there. Also having a strongly typed language with great docs is a huge help.
Couldn't a rubber gasket on the 1/8" jack help with water resistance?
That doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
This was discussed before, but just in case, there's no such thing as "AES-1024". AES has only three specified variants, 128, 192, and 256.

"1024 bit" encryption generally refers to RSA, or similar public-key cryptosystems. The name is misleading. RSA-1024 is not 8x more secure than AES-128. Public key systems need larger keys than symmetric systems, like AES.

However the software described in the article works it is surely proprietary, and probably lying about its strength.
Now that's a proper series of tubes.
Was this a decision? I thought Copy+Paste would just have copied the data in the buffer and paste out the data in the buffer. All metadata and stuff attached.
It's hard to know what will be a success unless it's a rehash/remake. The Netflix strategy is to spend less per production on more productions to give more shots on goal. They can greenlight more productions and take more chances if each one is less expensive.
I read it to the end, it’s critiquing web3, not praising it. And the things it critiques (for example, influence of capital over influence of participation) will not be fixed. They can’t say that in an academy publication, but let’s face it, it won’t be.

By laying out what they see it to be, they’re saying “if we roll an seven on this six-sided die”, or what we call “a snowball’s chance in hell”.
I'm more a unix user than a Windows user. I use pretty much all current OSes (including Mac and Windows) on a daily basis but FreeBSD is my daily driver. I think macOS is pretty unique in this regard (as well as being the only that use Meta-C / Meta-V for copy/paste, something that still bites me every day as I switch between OSes :) ).

But I only used macOS since 10.2, never used classic.
are you being serious?
Vine was not too early by any means. It was exploding in popularity when they shut it down. It absolutely would have been as big as Tik Tok if they got the algorithm right.
That’s a really roundabout way of saying “The government isn’t allowed to infringe on speech (generally speaking), therefore the government should be compelled to intervene when a private entity infinges on the principles of free speech on its private property”. It’s a non sequitur, and even as non sequiturs go, this is a particularly unserious one.
Microfabrication is quite an art. Being able to image pieces of copper down to such ludicrously small sizes with techniques like EUV and optical proximity correction is already quite advanced. Doing it for high temperature superconductors like YBCO is definitely not trivial. I don't think superconductors are a good idea due to the reduced fidelity, you might as well just use normal conductors and spread them out for better cooling
I think it's a lot more likely that there are/were a horde of PMs there who thought it was a very dumb and short-sighted decision to shut it down at the time. In my experience, it's usually some high-ranking exec who makes confounding decisions through authority in big tech. Not so much the average IC PM who has to spend time understanding their users for their job.
>Read a different tabloid.

"Read a newspaper that pretends there is no crime problem and don't believe your lying eyes when you walk down the street!" is a great solution as long as you don't live in a crime-ridden city (in which case that only works until you catch a random bullet or get shanked on the subway).
I'm not saying there aren't bad things in the US, but the things in the news are not normal everywhere in the US. But for big cities? I think I'll take my chances in Berlin.
Really awesome, I tried my hand at writing something similar and was surprised at how well it actually ended up working.

I feel liken the next step is automatically generating load tests and/or fuzzing tests. Felt like that could be a real product.
> it happens when autonomous systems optimizing reward functions fail because of problems described above in (a) -- the inability to have deterministic rules baked into them to avoid global fail states in order to achieve local success states.

yes, and there is an insight here that I think is often missed in the popular framing of AI x-risk: the autonomous systems we have today (which, defined broadly, need not be entirely or even mostly digital) are just as vulnerable to this

the AGI likely to pose extinction risk in the near term has humans in the loop

less likely to look like Clippy, more likely to look like a catastrophic absence of alignment between loci of agency (social, legal, technical, corporate, political, etc)
We also already select from bilions people to work on this.
What do you foresee the biggest hurdles being, be it logisitcal, technical or manufacturing, that you will have to overcome in order to reach the milestone of capturing 5 million tons of C02 per year in 3 years time?
So here we have a feature of Windows 8/10, which prevents the system calls of Win32U/Win32K from being called.

When you write a Windows program, you call APIs from User32.dll, GDI32.dll, and Kernel32.dll. Those are the user mode libraries, and the main entry point to call the Windows API functions.

What's actually inside of those? User32 and GDI32 are pretty much stubs. Mostly, they have a small amount of code, then proceed to call functions in Win32U.dll. Then Win32U.dll makes system calls, causing Win32k (Kernel Mode) to carry out the functions. So everything from BeginPaint to GetWindowText is going to be a system call that's placed from within Win32U, then handled by Win32K.

Meanwhile, Kernel32.dll is a user-mode library (despite the name being "kernel32"), which mostly makes calls to NTDLL.dll. Then NTDLL makes system calls that get handled by kernel-mode components.

The isolation thing that Mozilla is using here does not stop the NTDLL system calls that Kernel32.dll uses, just the calls to Win32U/Win32K (GDI32.dll and User32.dll). So there needs to be other mitigation methods in place for the Kernel32/NTDLL stuff, such as reduced user privileges.

But preventing all the Win32U/Win32K stuff from being called does greatly reduce the attack surface.
This took me a year or so to learn when I first started. I was trying to bring value to the customer - fine. But to me that meant 'cheap work'.

This is terrible, bring value by providing good work and CHARGE for it. People will respect you more, you'll have more revenue to buy tooling, hire better employees, build better products and do R&D on the next step. If you don't have the money, your customers will suck you dry, and you'll never get to build anything new.

There's a limit of course, but figure out what that is and approach it.
Elon Musk is nowhere near the richest person in history. Augustus Caesar and Mansa Musa IX were multi-trillionaires in comparative spending power.
That's super cool :)
Section 4 of the article I linked demonstrates how it’s leaky. Admittedly just in special scenarios, but it means that the mechanism isn’t fully transparent.
You have, in fact, lit upon the mechanism at play: some infants are sensitive to even tiny CO2 concentration changes, particularly when risk factors are combined. There is a reflex where instead of breathing more when CO2 levels rise, infants stop breathing all together: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2015.0022...

While a car is moving it has ventilation, and it's illegal to leave an infant alone in a parked car in part for this very reason. But sleeping in a car seat is one of the risk factors for SIDs.
> They prefer not to stay in the classroom with individual kids

Just wondering, is it the case for college professors in the US? should they be careful not to be alone in a room with a student or is that a myth?
Not just your experience. I worked for a company that made a lot of wireless devices. We had a pretty open-plan office and learned not to test anything around lunchtime.

Seriously. There were many times that I was working on something that suddenly had a spike in the receive failure rate and I'd look at the time and realize that somebody was heating up their lunch in the microwave.
I'm not following, the original could be written as

Yes, a bit. Then they'll eventually be happy when they find something they do like. The recommendation algorithms help.

If it was only a few high quality productions, the chances a consumer ever finds something they like at all is much lower.
probably less than 1%
Actually, I think "colorblind" is good term for this: zig indisputably has function color (as the article demonstrates), but you can't see it.
I always use Reverse Hanlon's Razor, so I suppose they do it in bad faith. /s

Actually I guess they both shave off weight/cost and design for built-in model first (that are naturally more heat-constrained) and make standalone variant as an afterthought.
iPhones are in the low-end market because you can buy them used at reasonable prices. You can get an iPhone SE 2020 for less than 200$. You can't get a Tesla used for 5000$.
c'mon, not believable. his statement about digital time display is correct, and it strikes me that you are pretending it's not.

"it's 10 till", or "5 minutes before the hour" are statements that capture the human concept of time much better than 15:52
Yeah, for me it's the "additional thing". I have a few different pairs of headphones depending on location and purpose. They're cheap, effective, and easily replaced if they fail. Having another doodad is just not appealing, whether I try to keep one on the phone at all times or buy a bunch that I add and remove from the headphones depending on what I'm using them for.

I've stuck with the Pixel A series precisely because of the headphone jack. I'm sad to see that once again Google is trying to remove it: https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/11/23067702/google-pixel-6a-...
It's interesting that a lot of people who are on twitter just don't like twitter already as it is. I imagine that's only going to get worse under a "no moderation" regime. I'd been wanting off of twitter for quite some time now as I'm pretty sure it was negatively impacting my mental health. Just this past weekend I decided to pull the trigger and commit twittercide - it's interesting how hard it is to push that 'deactivate' button. But I realized that that's an indication of addiction so I pressed the button and now I'm free of twitter.

Analogue displays are quicker to read, but less precise. Which is better depends.

On analogue clocks, it doesn't usually matter if I think it's 8:32 when it's really 8:34 unless I'm running for the train. However, I often make the terrible mistake of reading the wrong hour entirely. For that reason (and that I'm frequently running for trains) I do generally prefer digital clocks.

For a rev meter on a car on the other hand, all I care about is if it's getting too far to the bottom or too close to the red. Whether it's 3218RPM vs 3389RPM is entirely irrelevant. So for that, analogue is far better.

For flying, I quite like that electronic flight instrument panels have both analogue and digital displays.
The thing that makes SQL simple for me is that I can think in set operations devoid of proceduralness. Once we make things more and more sequential the more it is like programming than a formula.
There's a possible difference here between "doing things that Twitter and its owner(s) will profit from" and "doing things as Musks wants them". If the two diverge, the first is the winning strategy, burning far fewer bridges than the alternative.

If it's unclear, people who don't particularly care for Musk (aka people who know Musk minus people who want to be Musk) may well start from the assumption that the current CEO was right. And if Musk-era Twitter doesn't succeed as wildly as some (one) person predicts, they stand to look even better in contrast.

I'm not saying that Musk will necessary fail––he's had quite a bit of success compared to, well, anybody. But he's been involved with a few duds, as well, and has set rather high expectations. It's an almost classic case of decision-making under uncertainty and I'd guess a Twitter CEO has seen a relevant case study or two.
Ask HN: Startup Failure and Debt
I recently shut my small travel business and lost all I had worked for over the last few years. After incurring massive debt and struggling for a few months I have decided to start looking for a job. However, the burden while looking for a job has been so hard on me to an extent that living sometimes becomes meaningless. I have tried freelancing opportunities in my Marketing field but very little has come my way. I am posting this because I feel am not the first one to go through this startup failure/debt thing and I believe someone's experience on how they overcame might just help me pull through. Thank you in advance.
Maybe social media companies can declare themselves "religious businesses" and bypass this new regulation since just last year, this happened in Texas:

> Federal judge in Texas rules in favor of religious businesses over LGBTQ discrimination claims

> A federal judge ruled Sunday that for-profit businesses that have sincerely held religious beliefs do not have to abide by LGBTQ discrimination claims, a blow to the previous ruling in the Supreme Court that protected sexual orientation and gender identity from discrimination, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Modern Bluetooth devices can communicate their internal latency, and modern AV stacks use that figure plus known physical layer latencies to delay the video just enough to compensate for that.

For interactive audio like games or video conferencing, this doesn‘t work of course.
