Even besides the performance issues, the UI is unusable (at least for people without accounts.) Many times I have found reddit links that seem relevant in my search results; I click through to the link to read the reddit discussion, read one or two comments (because that is all their UI will fit onto my screen) and scroll down to read more. Suddenly I'm looking at another reddit discussion about a different topic entirely. What the fuck?

Incidentally the problem (bug? feature?) goes away if you have javascript disabled.

Ask HN: Is asking for donations a viable business model?
I was wondering if sites such as buymeacoffee, ko-fi, etc. can provide any income for developers and writers who publish their work for free?

In your experience, what's the best way to ask for donations/sponsorships, etc.?

I like what I do for free, but a little income on the side would be nice.
That's the point of the article - you can understand without agreeing.
What is a last in first out rule?
That looks amazing, thank you! I wouldn't want it in my production code but it seems like it would be great for something that I'm working on in the REPL.
I believe that clear, concise communication should live at the top of every message. Thoughts, feelings, explanations; that stuff goes down below.

"Today, I have to announce unpleasant news: in the coming days, Klarna will be downsizing our workforce. If you are impacted, you will receive a meeting request shortly to discuss specifics for your separation.

Even though I've been a CEO for BLAH and this is HARD and BLAH BLAH and you're forever my KLARNA HOMIES and this WAS NOT my fault, BLAH…"
By fair I mean debatable. Fair for a discussion. It's not garbage non-sense or gratuitous offenses. Certainly not hatred.

I'm very cautious about wording related to classifying speech. There's too much interest in curtailing it based on subjective perceptions nowadays.
Thank you for changing the title
That's not fair. Those extremists are succeeding in pushing their agenda.
"if you're implying that you think good CEOs should layoff as few people as possible" — depends. It's all about the timing.

This letter didn't read (to me) like they're cautiously planning for the worst and therefore they need to make a hard decision and prepare to cut staff. It read like they're reacting to a storm that is already here. This, in my view, is not good timing. They've had the numbers for a long while now, everyone had the numbers for a good while now.

To cut 10% in one go strongly reads like they've already dragged it out.

I stand by my opinion that the management strategy here is not proactive but reactive. While that is clearly better than being paralyzed of course (I agree with you there), it's not necessarily a good sign of having things under control, no?

What's worse, to just set everyone on fire in a casual (not a quote) "you may or may not be let go, we'll see, but 10% of you are out" is also not a good way to handle it.
I think this is a bit narrow. I’d say it’s a credential that shows you know how to conduct research.

In my case it was less of an apprenticeship and more of a lot of stumbling around until I found a way to create research that matched my standards. My standards are modeled after the clearly explained and verifiable work in my field.
There are some programs where you can earn a Doctorate without a Master's degree. Sometimes the program will combine both into one curriculum. In these cases, it's not possible to just quit and still have a Master's. You will have a Bachelor's and a bunch of debt. Perhaps they could work with an academic advisor to apply those credits taken to a Master's, maybe fill in the gaps and be done with it.
Yeah but what is the return on investment?

The incentive to have a alumni department to increase donations clearly isn’t in the best interests of society.
No, I think the hypothesis is that the ship's short-range radar was disabled due to crew errors or equipment obsolescence, something which the P-8A Poseidon could detect and relay to the Ukrainians. That provided a window during which Neptune missiles could be successfully used. The "fire" started after the missiles struck the ship.
The biggest missing piece for future databases is the ability to guarantee you only store your data in Europe. All of these databases are coming from the US, with no self-hosting option, or EU region for their SaaS service. With Schrems II it the EU region should be operated by an European company detached from the US company.
Right, and I’m arguing that informing 700 people today that they’re being laid off is more humane by an order of magnitude than telling 7,000 people they might be laid off this week and to stay away from their peers. There’s nothing in Swedish employment law that dictates this approach by Klarna. The letter clearly states why they made this decision, it wasn’t a legal one, it was a misguided attempt devoid of empathy focused exclusively on external optics because of what happened with better.com etc.
The USAF (nor anyone else) has no practical way to defend an AWACS against a near-peer enemy. That's kind of the point of the R-37 or PL-15 (even moreso the PL-21), soft targets such as AWACS are vulnerable at 300-400km. That's also the real value proposition of the Su-57, even though they are few and probably can't defeat an F-22, it sure can defeat an AWACS and it's not feasible to detect it before it gets within 300km of an AWACS.
We shouldn't value net-negative tinkering, which is what pyramids and pump-and dumps are, so I would say that these engineers are mostly making the world a worse place.

However, I don't think most of the work that goes into internet companies at the moment necessarily makes the world a better place, either.
> We'd need about 50 TWh of batteries. We can build that faster than we can build a single nuclear plant.

That's a huge [citation needed]. Global battery production is currently around 0.5 TWh per year[1]. Even if we continue to scale battery production, 50TWh is decades worth of our manufacturing capacity.

Also, don't forget that the latest and greatest battery packs last ~10 years. Just the upkeep on your grid scale battery is 5 TWh/year. We don't have anything close to enough manufacturing.

How does that help the rape victim?
One complexity with that that comes to mind is how do you then track whether you've already bumped minor/major since last release and so don't need to again? Maybe it's rare enough and quick enough to manually check that that's not a problem, depends on the project I suppose.
Sharing the latest iteration of Milk Video with HN.

Milk Video makes it easy to gather video testimonials, edit and share them in one place. We created a robust browser based video composition tool for teams that produce webinars, and recently added a feature to gather video testimonials via a link.

The overall application runs via a React application with a Ruby on Rails API. To gather video recordings, we use Daily.co as a recorder and stream the recordings using Mux. To composed new video with the collected recordings, we made a video rendering engine that breaks the source video material into frames, and screenshots individual frames of the composed final video. Once the frames are created, we reconstruct the video and add the audio tracks on for the final product.

If you have anyone in a Marketing team at the company you work at, I'd greatly appreciate sharing it with them and seeing what they think!

Thank you!
how much does this depend on the stage you're at? Pre-seed & seed funding should be pretty unaffected?

You could have called them "cars" or "planes" or whatever. This does not change the definition of word "plotter" ;)

edit: well, when i think about it, it does change definition of word if everyone starts calling plotters "cars", but there has to be a majority.
Why hire an expensive janitorial service to clean your office? Why hire a mechanic to fix your car?
>Why are you self-assembling anything...

This just provides another tool in the inventory. You're forcing the adversary to plan for strategies to mitigate attacks like this. Everyone already knows about remote-controlled machine guns and those who feel threatened by the prospect of having something like this used against them are actively working to mitigate the threat.

With a self-assembling munition you have a new, novel method of conducting an attack that literally forces an adversary to use a zero trust threat model 24 hours a day against every little thing that moves once the adversary understands how it happened.

When the grass can suddenly come alive with dormant, self-assembling munitions that have suddenly detected that a target on their list is in the vicinity then it adds another layer of complexity to force protection since both human and material assets could be targeted at any time from any direction by something like a bug-sized bot that may not even register in your consciousness until it is too late.

That's all I'm thinking.
I start with wikipedia or the intro to the documentation. Then I read deeper on whatever seems interesting until I think I know enough to be productive.

Then I start using it. If I get stuck, I find more specific information until I'm not stuck. Rinse and repeat.

So in short, I read the smallest amount of info possible to start and then let my practical experience guide me after that.
Just to be clear, you're advocating for this onion video to become real? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGXSPf9b-xI
You are correct, nobody claimed that. But environmentalists often warned of "unknown risks" [1] when consuming genetically modified food. Why at the same time there should be no unkown risks when injecting mRNA vaccines into children is beyond me.

This is when most kids learn to read. Some kids have basic reading skills before kindergarten, and some learn after 2nd grade. But for most, this is the time when they go from being able to recognize a handful/bunch of words to being able to figure out new words, understand exceptions, and learn about grammar.

There's also a decent amount of conceptual math taught in these grades. I wouldn't say that the concepts are 'hard', but they do take repeated exposure for many kids to grasp them and perform them accurately. You could teach the skills in a week, but only very bright kids would immediately pick up on all of it and not need further practice to be on par with kids who attended K-2. For example, it takes repeated exposure and practice for kids to know that a number ending with 4 and a number ending with 6 will always sum to a number ending in 0. Or to know their multiplication tables.

Does it take three years to learn this stuff? No. But it can't be crammed into a week or even a month.
The article even hints at this:

> [a crypto bro] criticized the team for turning to a centralized institution like the courts for help

But that's exactly the flaw of smart contracts, and why its promises will never work.

The hard part of contracts was never execution. The hard part was always conflict resolution and abidance by fair rules (i.e. "laws"). The hard part is what creates the overhead.

Smart contracts never solved the hard part. They remove the solution to the hard part, claiming the hard part is not needed at all. But the problems these solutions solve are the hard part. Pretending they don't exist is not "solving" anything.

There are so many examples of this. A minor can't enter into a contract. Severely mentally disabled can't either. Someone with a gun to their head can't either. It doesn't matter if they enter into a million dollar contract. That contract is invalid.

This is not "waste". This is the hard parts.

I think you're assuming that all software results in a single "release manager".

In many environments, multiple branches of software are deployed and maintained at the same time.

Even your example with Linux; I don't think that is correct -- Linus doesn't tag the stable branches, and others. There is a centralised agreement of how the version numbers are maintained though.
I would argue with Nietzsche that, "life without music is a mistake".
The next issue to arise in this paradigm is that autonomous machines are most analogous to mercenaries, with no fixed allegiance to the nation they are fighting for. Thus this army of 5,000 drones could alarmingly be converted to an enemy force in a way a normal army could not.
Or the longer way, if you're on a version of git without the -b option:

I'd love the same approach to be tried on Russians who support invasion of Ukraine.
I've owned and driven a Model 3 since October of 2021, and I only have a vague idea of where the emergency door release is or how to use it. If I were trying to escape, I doubt I'd be able to figure it out quicker than a panic-fueled kick to the window.

The theme of "no need for buttons, everything is software driven" of the model 3 is the thing I like the least about the car. The marketing message is "this is the future, and it's better", when in reality, I think it's all motivated by cutting costs.

A single touch screen is far cheaper than the cost of designing and testing physical controls. The "fancy" feature of rolling down the frameless windows before opening and closing isn't a feature, it's a compromise. Rather than properly design seals, let software solve it.

If I could have a Model 3 that had no touch screen, manual everything, that'd be amazing. It'd also mean that random software updates wouldn't require me to relearn where the hell all the controls I'd become familiar with went.

Best for the blog post author. Picking fights with people stronger than you, in a system you don't intend to leave, doesn't usually work out well for you. Nor in general. STFUing is a near-optimal strategy in a lot of situations, really.
It's also very problematic to suggest that a human in their natural state of being poses a risk to society at large.
It’s just not that simple. You aren’t repeatedly being hit in the head playing football.

Even the linemen who have aggressive contact each play aren’t banging their heads together, they are using their hands. The helmets are largely protecting against incidental contact.

Head trauma comes from rapid changes in momentum that cause the brain to bounce around inside the skull.

Those from “horse collar” tackles, which are illegal now.

Those from intentionally or unintentionally having helmet to helmet contact, which is also illegal.

Virtually every type of helmet hit is penalized at this point.

Soccer headers are probably much worse I would imagine.
> There’s a certain phenomenon I often wonder about, one that only seems to occur with culture war topics.

I mean, the term "culture war" itself is part of the "conservative" vocabulary in that issue. So I can see why the whole thing is not easy.
The scheme proposed in TFA is not particularly amenable to automation:

> Can I programatically convert from what I use now?

> Unfortunately, probably not

Moreover, even if a syntax-aware formatter could detect mistakes made in following this scheme, that presupposes that these coworkers will actually use said tools.

Some of us work in organisations where it is not politically feasible to insist that everyone work in any particular way or adhere to any particular standards. Welcome to academia…

Or just consider whether everyone contributing PRs to an open source project will get this right or use such tools.
bunch of principles here are specific to using managed 3rd-party database, rather than self host // on-prem

meanwhile.. lots of apocalyptic posts lately about how vc funding will dry up since public tech stocks have crashed

so how safe is it to have your business completely rely on a managed database startup, instead of self host or using a major cloud provider's direct offering? may be unwise these days methinks

Show me a law on the books in any state that would outlaw abortion in the case of rape. Obviously it would be a "trigger law" since states can't actually have such a law right now, but no such law exists as far as I'm aware.

Unless you can do that, it's not fair to claim that those extremists are succeeding in pushing anything.

Edit: I'm not going to individually address all of the dishonest rhetoric from the articles in the replies. The states have laws allowing abortion up to a certain number of weeks, and then after that don't make exceptions. I was referring to outright bans.

Layoffs are hard. People will be upset no matter what. The responsibility of leadership is to make hard decisions that have the best outcome. Telling 7,000 people they might be laid off this week and so they must stay home so that the company can say “we did a personal call with each person being laid off” is an order of magnitude worse than just sending everyone an email today. People will be upset regardless, a good leader optimises for the well-being of their people, and this approach does not do that.
Minsky labelled our minds "difference engines". This means,
we work best with a goal. The moment some sort of goal is
set, the mind keeps diffing goal and your current position
continuously. Given this framework, I always tend to have
a higher goal, some result I hope to see. With such context,
then it is simply a matter of asking "is it working now? am I there yet?".
If it is not, learn more. If it is, then I sort of know enough.

I think there also might be some consideration of ability to move from dev hardware to a more optimized mass market product. MiniITX boards or cellphones with I/O breakouts rely on much 'wider' supply chains with providers who have their own interests that might not be as amenable to setting up mass production with a customized version of the dev hardware 2-3 years down the line.

They also probably serve as gateway products, so someone might buy this kit for a hobby project and get familiar with Xilinx's ecosystem, leading them to then have a bias towards Xilinx for when they're in the workplace having to decide on an FPGA.

The five axioms of Euclidean geometry don’t mention triangles and yet they are a big part of geometry. The five axioms of Euclidean geometry give rise to a vast collection of consequences. The U.S. Constitution is considerably more complex than the 5 axioms of geometry so one should not be surprised that concepts will arise as logical consequences that are not specifically mentioned in the document. This is especially so since the Constitution was not written with mathematical precision.

Become? I think one could argue it's less so than ever. Remember blasphemy and the inquisition? Do you think people were more tolerant prior to the 20th century, what about in the 1950s? I think until recently responses were pretty violent in some cases and could lead to quite some consequences. I don't really know, but I think it's worth considering.
How Valve Is Changing Game Console Design
They really don't have any leg to stand on.

A smart contract is a piece of code running on a public permissionless blockchain. The developers who deployed that code do not own it. Medjedovic had as much the right to take money out of the smart contract using the contract's logic as Kellar and Day.

Being blockchain developers, Kellar and Day know these facts very well, but they persist in their hypocrisy because it is in their financial interest to do so. They are betting on a non-technical jury being convinced by a good lawyer that Medjedovic "hacked them" or "stole their funds" (which is not at all what happened here).

I am not sure that it would work because it is unlikely that you can test your application with all existing videocards (and yet to be released cards). And even if you do that the performance might depend on other factors (OS, CPU model, RAM type and size, driver version).

Instead game developers should provide an option to select graphic settings: more textures, less textures, more shaders, less shaders and so on, and display a FPS counter so that the user is able to decide what is better for them. Or automatically switch to lower settings if fps falls below cetrain threshold.
It's also hard to understand why a fetus is to be protected but homeless children and people shouldn't be sheltered or fed, wars shouldn't be protested and education shouldn't be funded, but here we are. Political tools are used as wedge issues, not as logical thinking points.

"Not in my back yard" is a wonderful summation of this. While many upper class liberals support more homeless shelters, they don't want one in their neighborhood. While many neoconservatives support a ban on abortions, they wouldn't want low income, single mother housing placement shelters in their neighborhoods, with job training.
