Thank you for the feedback, that's a good point. I was toying with the idea before but not quite sure what the right approach would be, from a technical perspective. I suppose I could just save everything on a dummy user and clean them up every 24 hours or something. I'll have to look into it.

On the topic of the platform. I started out making it for myself and some friends, with some success. Some time ago I did a Show HN where I didn't get any feedback at all, and since then I've been a bit hesitant to put in any more dev hours. So it's good to hear that you were intrigued
The computer doesn’t know whether it’s you or somebody pretending to be you. Unauthorised execution should be possible but should be off by default, that’s 100% better for consumers.

Sorry if I got your point wrong :)
Questions for Developers to Ask at Interviews
Sorry, I must be a luddite. I don't get the video conferencing craze.

In most cases, I see little real, added value in a live video feed. What I find more generally useful is simple desktop/screen sharing with audio (i.e. GotoMeeting, TeamViewer)

If you must see the participants, allow a photo/avatar. Watching real lips moving in a stuttered video is quite chic and nouveau and all ... it's nice with family ... but it doesn't really add much value in a typical business setting IMO.

As with most things, there are exceptions but I use desktop sharing way more often.
Stratis Storage 3.1.0 now available
Yes, this is the solution. I have done the same with my own keepsakes. Take a photo and then toss the keepsake.

The cloud, my backups, are really my only physical "treasure".

They are. A proper one goes up and down with the blade. A saw without an in-built provision for that is a surprisingly tough retrofit [0].

A riving knife that doesn't go up and down with the blade is just a pain in the ass that gets removed the first time you aren't making a through cut and rarely gets reinstalled.

[0] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4CuchotcM_4 If you've never seen the inside of a Unisaw, there's a lot of parts in that video that weren't there when the saw left the Delta factory. Even if you mass-produced a kit, it would require reworking some of the original parts, possibly at machinist level tolerances.
> the teacher says “we fix things by "switching them off and on again"”
as if that’s a bad thing

TBH, as an electronics engineer and computer scientist it's the first
thing I do too :) I think my point in that article was that we
shouldn't teach that it's the _only_ recourse, and after if it still
doesn't work then just replace it.

It's still one step better than the wisdom of my Grandmother's
generation:

"If it doesn't work bang it once on the top. If it still doesn't work
bang it hard on the side twice. If it still doesn't work, call a man."
Do you assume I didn't read the article? Calling it insecure based on this is absurd.
Exactly. It has nothing to do with hardware. I am complaining about the inconsistency in the single hex digit, two ascii character, view.

Why don't people who claim to prefer little-endianness actually follow through and display these two ascii characters in a little-endian order? Why do people who like little-endian not prefer the human readable hexadecimal display of eighteen to be 0x21 rather than 0x12? If these humans really prefer little-endian human readable hexadecimal display of multi-byte values, then why don't they also prefer little-endian human readable hexadecimal display of the two four-bit nibbles in single-byte values?

How is it consistent that little endian people say "0x0A0B" means "eleven times two to the eighth power, plus ten"; but they don't say that "0xAB" means "eleven times two to the fourth power, plus ten"?

In what world does it make sense that the ordering of the ascii characters that represent each 4-bit nibble of a multi-byte value hops back and forth between being less significant and more significant as you read them left to right?
Increasing Cohesion in Go with Generic Decorators
I’m not sure that sends any real lessons beyond the fact that credit scoring isn’t a top political concern for many voters. There were bills introduced to reform the system in 2016 and 2021.
Also need to get rid of the filibuster and the Electoral College, which are both anti-democratic.

Then possibly abolish the Senate too for the same reason.
How would you prove it?
In most countries an oral agreement is equivalent to a true contract but it's hard to prove.
Yep, you're exactly right. The tool works by getting the channel's videos, then fetching the voice-to-text transcripts for them, then searching within the spoken words (along with the title and description) for any keyword matches. So there isn't a feasible way to do that across all of YouTube.

I like your idea of searching the logged-in user's history! That could be handy. Another thing I've thought about is auto-importing all the channels they're subscribed to so they can search within those.

For the first version of VideoMentions Search, I kept things simple with a single "Channel URL" input field, but using their history/subscriptions is totally doable. I'll see if there's enough demand for that.

In any event, I still think that this simple first version has utility. I like being able to quickly pinpoint all the moments when a certain topic was mentioned across all of a channel's videos.

Thanks so much for taking a look, and for your feedback!
I'm glad you're mad, but based on this comment and the rest of your comments in this thread it seems that's just your normal operating state. Your argument seems to be that unless someone uses a computer exactly as you do, and has your exact selection of knowledge in their brain, then they're incapable of sharing any knowledge at all. Furthermore, there aren't many Unix/Linux users that operate in a vacuum, and often you'll be using files with extensions that come from other OSes that use extensions; and additionally, file extensions are a useful fast way of knowing exactly what kind of data the file contains. You're a mega idiot who deserves to be constantly seething
The ADL are "the Jews"?

More to the point, did you read the article, or connect the dots?

The ADL itself promotes their own efforts to go after critics of Zionist foreign policy.[0]

They also promote their partnership with PayPal [1].

These two media outlets are critical of Israel foreign policy. What is so confusing? What are you missing?

I did not compare it to other companies and my statement is still true. Prove me wrong you all down-voters.
Existing games BUT allowing to host your OWN SERVERS!! and modding.

I would put in that list:

Sea of Thieves -> to play only with friends (no PvP)

Battlefield <X> -> to mod and fool around with my friends

Overwatch -> to train, mod, etc.

Star Citizen -> aside from the usual "when the game will be released" let us run our little servers!!

I am sure I am forgetting obvious ones in this list...

Please make games "hostable" and "moddable"! <3

The life of a pro baduk player is pretty poor. Unless you are in the top you basically scrape by, and still need to train and think about the game 24/7. The majority of pro players live very frugally.

A mediocre programmer works 1/5th and making 5x than a p90 pro player.

I played seriously because I learned the game when i was very poor with no prospects, and then it latches on to your brain and you cant quit, like an addiction. I think I studied 8 hours a day while I was in highschool - during class, before and after school, weekends, vacations. Probably did 2~3 college degrees of time between 16-20 y-old, but the competition is simply brutal. You face kids that have 10,000 games before they turn 7.

Again, the great danger of teaching go to kids is not that they dont care about it, its what happens if they do.
The issue with Windows was not its instability, it is with its design. Unless using Run commands and Command Prompt, every adjustment is layers down a context menu to open some control panel that takes an excruciating 10-20 seconds, just to appear, and Microsoft intentionally hid all the fine controls. While literally everything is solvable without rebooting-- reproducing, tracing, researching and solving it takes too long because of the system design. If the problem isn't appearing often enough to warrant investing the time it takes to do it right, rebooting is the only rational choice. The first thing every Tier I help desk operator instructs is to reboot (because it's in their script, and because 95 times out of 100, it does the trick). "But I already tried that," "Please reboot again anyway." They're not wrong. Rebooting is a terrible solution. It's just that it usually works, and it takes a lot less time than doing things correctly.
Yes, _exactly_.
What you should say is "the electoral college system doesn't give me the outcomes I want so we should change it".

The electoral college system was designed with intent.

It's like when people complain Congress is deadlocked. Yeah, that's the point, if enough members of Congress can't agree, the it should be deadlocked.

That's a feature, not a bug.
That's a separate issue.

I'm talking about this one:

Nebraska has a 2.0M population and 5 electors = 0.4M people per elector
California has a 39M population and 55 electors = 0.7M people per elector.
If you dont like running foreign code on your machine, you can run docker and then run foreign code on your machine.

Did anyone else catch this in the article? Doesn't it seem like this makes it even more likely to get infected? No one understands Docker in entirety let alone this random game. It seems like all this stuff should just be automatically done behind the scenes and yet it's not.
I agree on the benefits of multiple candidates, but you might be underestimating the possibility of long-term change in the two-party structure due to ranked choice voting. It allows third parties to slowly gain voteshare, power, and influence over time, because in each election, people can express those preferences without worrying about throwing away their votes. I'm not guaranteeing that would happen, but I think it's a likely benefit.
OK, then only accept crypto for anonymous accounts.
Our "representative democracy" has been entirely coopted by a single entity which has mastered, through marketing and deception, masking itself as two separate entities. The reality of this entity is that it is uniform, philosophically, intellectually, and in every other manner. They hand the baton of "power" back and forth between themselves, keeping the voting populace as worked up as possible with wedge issues, which neither sub-entity will actually touch, for fear of losing the ability to leverage the wedge issue for division of the ever-decreasing numbers of people who bother to vote.

Not content with this opaque "duopoly", the R/D machine has gone way past the line of acceptable behavior in setting up "non-partisan" organizations such as the Commission on Presidential Debates and the Federal Election Commission, which exist entirely to exclude anyone who is not an approved part of either faction of this single entity from basic participation in the election process.

While I understand the goal behind the authors advocating RCV, I have no faith that the implementation of of RCV would not be circumvented or counteracted by the existing "duopoly"; they will not give up the stranglehold on power (and money, which is the real goal; controlling 1/3rd of every dollar earned as income and spending it as you are instructed by your masters is not something they will give up lightly) without a fight. Given their total control over the production of legislation, legal interpretation of that legislation, and enforcement of said legislation, they've got a distinct advantage.

Honestly, I don't see anything changing in US elections within the remainder of my lifetime; short of a shifting of the balance of power, the likes of which would require "breaking some eggs", their grip is too overpowering to challenge. Team D will continue to demonize Team R, Team R will continue to demonize Team D, and both will quietly do everything in their power to make sure non-D/non-R candidates do not even appear on ballots, much less receive the necessary votes to take office.
I would guess you have never worked as a technical suppport for your family’s computers? Because even if I very much understand your point, not being able to run untrusted code absolutely is a security advancement in certain situations. It is SO refreshing and liberating to be able to say: Do whatever you want with it, it’s very hard to damage on the software side.
To me that's like saying how can someone be a good developer without letting the customers sit in on every meeting they have and watch the developer code in real-time.

I believe a person can talk with constituents, maybe even 90% of the time, and learn as much from those conversations and then take that info into closed door discussions and negotiate on behalf of those people.

And I think Congress would do a lot better collectively if we cared more about the team performance and less about the individual performance.
Well, Tesla also has a buffer after 0% and still some energy after it stop moving. This might be what explain the "bad" figure here. A model 3 at 130km/h on the flat in good weather conditions should not exceed 200wh/km normally. (Based on experience with my own car).

My point was that the posted article is non-sense, and likely really just an advertisement piece for the german cars.

Claiming the EQS is best because it has a decent range with a 107kwh battery is infuriating. We should be moving to smaller battery on light efficient vehicles and not make monster 3 tons EV like this.
How's about staying in the same rent controlled apartment for 32 years, so I can save? That was amazing, as I was still paying $950 when my neighbors were paying $2200 for a smaller place.
I use the notifications page as my home page. Like maybe once a month when I'm bored I'll click through to the home page to see what's going on but I find it rarely useful.
I don't know. No one knows. That's why it's a good idea to ask them to express their preference in full.
Their clients and import tools are open source, they contribute to a bunch of libraries.
Could you do a search based on their watch history if they have it enabled?
I don't enable these bank analytics (sweden) since that accepts their laundry list of terms for that service, suddenly opening for the bank to mine that data. Without agreeing to it, I have more protection.
In the past I have just restricted Jenkins access to our main static IP, and whitelisted GitHub's published Webhook IP ranges. Remote employees just need to login to the office VPN to access the UI & SSH.

Does the articles method provide further flexibility? It seems much more complex!
What’s insane is the absolute loyalty people give the two parties. They are relatively dynamic and change their platforms over time (it’s quite shocking to compare Goldwater to Reagan to Trump)

The nearly blind loyalty people give their parties, even when they are actively not pursuing their interests is crazy.
The article itself illustrates the photo-aspect of it. There are some very touching photos of personal items in the article. No doubt the photos themselves (especially artfully shot) will give some of the same emotional fulfillment.
That makes no sense. The vast majority of people go in debt when they get a mortgage and don't come out until at least a decade later. Debt is a tool when used properly.

It seems a majority of those (highly-paid) people incentivised to predict the future seem not to be that good at it?

> Wut? I call major bullshit on this. Yes, obviously electric cars generally do the same thing as ICE cars, but the consumer experience is so much better for me is that after owning an electric car I will never, ever even consider owning an ICE car.

Nope, sorry. An electric car is still just a car, not some revolutionary different thing. It gets you from A to be exactly the same, the only difference is you plug it in at night rather than visiting a gas station.

> I mean, by your analogy, an ICE car is just an "incremental or marginal improvement" over a horse and buggy. Heck, I've got to feed my horse grass and clean up after its poop, and I've got to "feed" my ICE car gas and clean up after its oil leaks. What's the difference, right

Nope, sorry. A car is an order of magnitude faster, have far longer range, haul more than a horse and buggy.
330M / 30k = 11k representatives.

I actually don’t mind that idea, but we’d have to totally reinvent the way the house works if it were to operate that way. As far as voting on ideas that is fine, but the whole committee structure and how legislation is drafted would seem totally unworkable.

An in between proposal I’ve heard is to adopt the so-called Wyoming rule and keep a fixed representation of 1 rep per population of <least populated state>. IIRC that would increase the house to around 700 reps, which would change things, but not require total reinvention.
Usually these are done in 3D vector tools (Inkscape or Illustrator), or 3D software like Blender.

Now you said "more convenient", so here is an (untested!) idea:

You could try to use Assetforge, which is a kitbashing tool for prototype game development. It comes with a few building blocks, depending on the type of scene you need, there may not be the right things inside.

You can create own assets (this is outside of the "convenient"-constraint though, I guess) - or use some compatible assets packs from Kenney (see links below). When you export, you can set camera style and give it the proper isometric rotation (see video with timestamp for export options, the whole vid gives good overview for the software).

But before you spend (a bit of) money; I don't own the tool, haven't done it that way myself, not sure if it works for what you wanna do.

I feel like this is bad manners. The runners are a shared resource and you risk getting their IPs blacklisted by the sites you're scraping. I think a strict reading of the GitHub Actions TOS may prohibit this sort of usage, too.

> ... for example, don't use Actions as a content delivery network or as part of a serverless application ...

> Actions should not be used for: ... any other activity unrelated to the production, testing, deployment, or publication of the software project associated with the repository where GitHub Actions are used.

Tell that to Citizens United and Roe vs. Wade.
I find it cathartic — if done from time to time.
Plus, this might be a bit nitpicky on my part, but “X isn't as Y as you thought” headlines are almost always uninformative clickbait. I mean, how private did I think DuckDuckGo [browser] was before? Did you think it was more private than I did? Or less? How private did the author believe it to be?

I would much prefer informative headlines which make no assumption of prior beliefs, for example:

“X sells itself as Y, but it does Z”

“X not as Y as alternative option A is”

...or even a headline where the author's subjective belief is invoked, if that is the style of the article:

“X isn't as Y as I thought”
One of the things that makes Zoom (and for-profit streaming) better is noise cancelation. Zoom has spent a lot of money perfecting video calling without requiring headsets. This is not easy. A second reason is they use some proprietary stream control and compression. It's based on standards and you could copy it, but you would have to license h264 to make this work in open source. Open source requires other people to pay this license (typically it's part of a browser using WebRTC).
I think historically the idea behind UB was to allow to write a compliant compiler (for different platforms) as easily as possible. (so to decrease the burden on the compiler writer). This has worked. Why they kept this approach? I dont know.
Edit 2: According to the child comment this was just a TIL blog post. Thanks for the clarity.

Original comment:

I was prepared for a story time about a legal issue Ente is facing, and since they don’t mention one I now have more questions than I started with.

Are they the recipient of an estoppel order? In the process of issuing them? Are there implications we should hear about but don’t? Or is this all just for fun, like “it was lunch and learn legalese day” at HQ?

I’m not familiar with this company, but seeing as how they provide E2E encrypted photo backups at a time where law enforcement is globally maneuvering to end such things has me wondering if maybe something more happening. Which saddens me since I’m now interested in the product…

Edit 1: rereading this comment I feel like it’s a bit cynical, so i removed some speculative remarks. Strange topic to get your product mentioned on the HN front page, but I suppose it worked!

If I were a CEO and my VP of Product started in on running things like a coach, I'd get HR on the horn to see about getting a new VP of Product.

Coaches let the popular kids pants the nerds. Coaches overtly favor the wealthy even if those kids aren't the most athletic. Coaches ask their athletes to physically ruin themselves for the coach's seasonal benefit.

I acknowledge I'm projecting my experience, and ignoring the best that coaches have to offer. But I'm not alone in having bad experiences with coaches. Do you really want a plurality of your employees to mentally prepare for a bad experience when they hear about your plans? Do you want to have to overcome quite a bit of builtin resistance?
