I use such deliveries occasionally (Glovo, mostly) for items that are maybe a 30m+ walk away, and that I forgot to order. For example, I'm after work, I realize I'm out of cat food, I'm too tired to spend 1h+ walking, and taking a cab is as expensive (it also happens that public transport between this particular store and my home is really bad). So, I order a bag of cat food off Glovo and get it delivered 30m-1h later. If I ordered from the store it would arrive 2-4 days later, and I can't find the brand my cats eat anywhere closer.

Now, this is just a small convenience - it won't change my life if the service goes away, and I don't use it often at all, but it's nice to have. I don't think they have any chance of making the money back on such order though.
WebRTC is already pretty good.
One of my friend's daughters really, really enjoyed dancing, singing, acting, auditioning for commercials. Her aunt had won Survivor, or American Race, or Big Brother, or whatever (they're all the same to me, I can't remember which it was) and she wanted to be just like her! Until the day at seven years old that she had to go to an audition, she sat herself down in the middle of the driveway and said, "No, no, no, no, I hate this, I hate this, please never, please," and wouldn't budge. My friend was forced to realize finally it had been all her, and not her daughter. Thankfully, she did get the message, was self-reflective enough to listen.

What a strong little girl, I thought. I remember years of "loving" horseback riding lessons and shows as a kid because I wasn't strong enough to tell my mother I hated every minute of it. As a father myself now, I try very hard to listen and support what my kid is interested in, and not manufacture what I want him to be, and wonder if I still screw it up.

I’ve had a not so great experience and could use some advice. I opted to install WSL using the command line but there was a problem, so I removed it and reinstalled the app titled simply ‘Ubuntu’ from the Microsoft Store but the problem still persists.

The problem is whenever I run any command in WSL, the progress bar/status stalls or never updates itself. Installing a new language, non package, Ubuntu stuff, whatever, doesn’t seem to work on first try. Once I ‘Ctrl+C’ and re-enter the command, it works flawlessly.

Why is it a foundational human right? Who decides that? It seems to me that a lot of people disagree.

Human rights only exist because enough people believe in them. All of them, including free speech are up for debate and constantly need to be defended.
So? Peace in Europe is something unusual and we were lucky to have it from 1945 to 2022. The history of Europe is a bloodbath and the Turks took part in it. It's one of the reasons why Turkey is a European country, actually.

>Are you insane? The Hagia Sofia was built by Greeks centuries before the Turks arrived off the steppe.

Notice how the ancient Greek stuff is in Turkey now. Unlike the British, Turks did not move it. That's why I say the ancient European history is in Turkey, that's why Turkey is a European country.

Apart for the dominant religion, Everything about Turkey is European. Oh, and the dominant European religion has deep roots in Turkey and I'm not talking just about Hagia Sophia.

You should take a long vacation in Turkey. Huge enlightenment awaits you.

The implementation was not saving any of the ymm registers, you can see this in the bug report's attached patch. It also took me a while to get, because the last snippet in the writeup only highlights the ymm1 register, instead of showing the actual diff along with the comment.

As an aside, I didn't find the writeup to be overly descriptive. The author does a great job linking every step and how they came to each conclusion along the way, even including hypotheses where they came out empty-handed. When a writeup omits these, it makes the author look like they were somehow enlightened to find the solution, instead of just following a methodical approach.

Awesome!

A thought: now that neural compression is becoming widespread, it could be a good idea to put some kind of indicator or watermark stating the compression is neural (learned/function approximation in general). I think this would avoid liabilities and criticism around the fact that some weird things may appear (incorrect detail generation), maybe giving a wrong semantic idea. It may also be a good idea to put a mean squared error term in your objective function to help preserve general meaning.
I was wondering about it, too. I used it maybe twice to deliver heavier items like 24 liters of water. The prices were similar if not higher and in the case of vegetables I couldn't check them before buying, so I see little point in using it. It's not a big deal to just visit a grocery on my way home, and it's not an unpleasant experience, so why should I get rid of it?

I don't quite, what do you mean? Thing is, I spend all my waking hours working to compensate for a relatively underachieving upbringing and have little idea what I'll do in a few years, after I'm done with what I wanted to build. There are the usual aspirational things mentioned elsewhere in this page (learn languages, play instruments...) but those are a ton of work, definitely not letting go.

Of course, the real killer app for Zoom calls is the opposite of this: some kind of deep fakery that makes it seem we're there when we're not.

Yet as it is, this is a fantastic idea. It's surprising video codecs deal so little with the nature of the images (AFAIK) and try to be generalists.

Rollstack: Dev tool for web applications front-end

Sure, but the comment this was a reply to was about money
Respectfully disagree. The line is not arbitrary. Turkey is the beginning of Asia geographically, culturally and historically. Hagia Sophia is not Turkish-made (obviously).They have an offensive military dogma towards all their neighbors and routinely fail every measure of "democratic" law. Erdogan still represents the majority and the government is in bed with the extreme right party. They invaded Iraq and Syria, they routinely suppress their Kurdish minority.

It's not Europe, as much as I wish it was
what's the engineering to employee ratio at companies like snap?
Hey HN, excited to share with you Rollstack, a front-end development platform for developers, that includes visual development, one click integrations and code editing. The result is a React application in sync with github/gitlab. The code is fully owned by developers with the ability to eject it when needed. The alpha was released 3 weeks ago and we're focusing now on the beta version. Team members are here to answer any question :)
In fact, this kind of reverses things, doesn't it?

Open source is built on the assumption that you can do more with source code than with binaries. In the case of AI models, the computed weights of models are what's valuable, and the source code used to achieve them is less useful.
we are not trying
The UK used to have a lot of weapons. Then we started controlling them and they slowly went out of circulation.

Gun control will not stop all gun crime tomorrow, but 10-15 years from now mass shootings will be far rarer than today.
Dropping stones in a bucket is "technology," effectively.
> we have made writing software complex for complexity's sake.

I think it’s rather that complexity naturally expands to fill up the available capacity (of complexity-handling ability). That is, unless conscious and continuous effort is spent to contain and reduce complexity, it will naturally grow up to the limit where it causes too much problems to be viable anymore (like a virus killing its host and thus preventing further spread). This, in turn, means that the software industry tends to continually live on the edge of maximum complexity its members can (barely) handle.

Nebra Sky Disc: decoding a prehistoric vision of the cosmos
The mechanism is that guns are harder to get, both legally and illegally, if there are strong controls on their purchase and use. Yes, a mass shooter would ignore the legal implications of getting a gun, but they cannot ignore the fact that there are fewer guns to get.
That character was badly written in the first place I would say. A child actor wont save badly written child character.
> No, but, your response is exactly what I think is wrong with the whole response.

I do not speak for any other commenter and I stand by my own comments in this subthread.

> School shootings, plural. In your city?

In this case I think it was one incident specifically. The tax on ammo and gun sales to fund gun violence research was as I recall a direct response to the Seattle Pacific University shooting. I may be drawing more of a connection there than lawmakers would claim. But the timing was consistent and the event helped push it through.

> Plural again.

Yes, there have been multiple mass shootings in Moscow, Idaho alone. The state board of education passed specific gun control laws to attempt to limit harm within their jurisdiction.

> Plural. And apparently demonstrations are necessary to convince some people it’s a good idea.

Yes, that's typically how democracy works and one of the reasons we have free expression.

> You can’t hold gunmakers liable for deaths caused by their product, that’s literally what they’re made for.

Actually we can hold any manufacturer liable for the harm caused by their products, even if that harm is the stated purpose. Also, that's not the only purpose of these weapons. They do have viable uses for both hunting and recreation. Also, I'm not sure that Remington did claim that their guns are intended to kill people. In any case the manufacturers can be held liable.

> I think it took only a single incident like this in any civilized country to have the entire national/federal government to go “you know what, lets ban/severely restrict this shit”.

This is a very specific definition of civilized that suits your opinion. No true Scotsman, etc.

The US Federal Government does not have absolute authority to enact its will on Americans. This is very deliberate and fundamental to our society. This does not make us powerless. Quite the opposite. California is able to be more progressive in their gun laws than they could be in a system with absolute federal power.

> The US is the only country I know of that has literally hundreds of these incidents, and still hasn’t done anything significant.

As I mentioned previously there are examples of significant action that has been taken, even recently. While our gun laws are not the most strict in the world they do exist and they are strengthening.

> Hell, maybe it won’t work, I’m open to that possibility, but doing anything is better than doing nothing. By doing nothing you implicitly indicate that this state of affairs is fine.

Well as I have now said repeatedly, we are doing something. Many somethings in fact. So your assertion that Americans are fine with this state of affairs is clearly false. This gets to the heart of what I have said here. I would hope nobody is told they don't care about the tragedy they are facing.

> It’s just incredibly frustrating to see half of the responses to these kinds of threads always being “oh no, muh guns”, instead of “lets fix something”.

I don't see how this line is relevant to anything I have said here. Nor how it justifies your replies.

Ross Stores is a discount store: it rallied strongly from the end of 2020 then got chipped down, so it could be considered as a proxy of inflation.

Moderna is pharma that behaved in a way similar to Ross Stores in the year so far. For one it produces vaccines so it may be informative of the severity of pandemic; for a second it may be linked to money supply and inflation.
I have developed on .NET for ~ 8 years, starting with the Framework and then moving on to Core, and I am at my happiest in this ecosystem.

That is a brilliant idea.

We have nutritional labels on food. We need nutritional labels for websites/apps/services. And then maybe a small popup "You've reached your daily serving of social media use. You may continue, but know that you'll be in unhealthy territory."

And then we treat "social media addiction" as an additional insurance cost factor, just like obesity. More than 2h of facebook per day => let's double your mental health premiums.

That way, we (the society) can accurately measure and allocate the damage and resulting costs caused by social media companies.

If you're interested in the story behind why some languages and specs (PHP 6 and IPv5 and a few others) appear have skipped a major version number I wrote a little bit about them: https://blog.mclemon.org/missing-version-numbers
I've also used Perl for small utility programs (basically as a "enhanced" shell script). The problem with Docker or virtualenvs is that they greatly increase the installation complexity of your script.

For example, two years ago I wrote a small (50 LOC) Perl script to convert between two text format. On Unix you could install it by just putting the one file in /usr/bin. It would run in less than 1 ms, which was critical because it was repeatedly invoked by another (legacy) program. It was mostly a bunch of regex so it was natural to write it in Perl (or awk maybe but I don't know awk).

The python equivalent would have been at least 30x slower, significantly longer, less portable etc. Using docker just for this script would have been overkill. The only real alternative IMO would have been to make a statically compiled Go or Rust binary.
"Business groups have warned that if the bill passes, social media companies would most likely cease operations for children in California rather than face the legal risk."

That really speaks to me. Wesley Crusher seemed like baggage until later when he had some issues for the writers to really dig into and work with. Interesting how the character's trajectory on the show as a gifted child later gone astray relates to the real experience of the actor behind that.

I think the fact that companies like Klarna are downsizing is good overall. Klarna literally offers nothing but interest free loans (3 instalments typically), and they tear out your eyeballs if you miss the payments with ridiculous interest rates. Their normal business model makes zero profit, and they solely depend on people missing payments so they can gouge them. Clearly not viable at all...
If I tell you nuclear weapons should be eliminated from the world as they're dangerous and can wipe off cities, are you going to come back with statistics about how tanks kill people? Your arguments are exactly that.
The thing is, there is a business there but it only works with economies of scale. If they're constantly focused on eating each other it won't work because you have multiple "networks" each with a finite, unevenly-distributed share of supply (restaurants), delivery drivers and demand (customers) that can't share load between each other (so you end up with situations where one company's drivers doing nothing while another one doesn't have enough capacity - both end up losing money).

A business providing ultra-fast courier service providing order matching & routing that otherwise stays neutral and charges a delivery fee (as opposed to skimming off the entire bill) would work.
