I disagree. I think the article was very well written, considering it's basically just an SEO page.

1) First of all, it starts with a short, numerated table of contents at the very top that includes everything that the article covers (with clickable links so you can skip the fluff)

2) It includes textual descriptions, videos and GIFs that make it very easy to understand the exercises.

3) The article also explains not just WHAT you should do, but also WHY you should do it

4) It's written in an entertaining way (it's a matter of taste, but I kinda like it)

5) While they do try to sell their stuff, it's pretty transparent and they are not hiding anything behind a paywall.
Thought it was TB but then was just GB.
The short answer: It's complicated. But to give answers at face value:

1. Unfortunately, in most cases, nothing. GPL violations are rampant, and usually without serious consequence for the infringer.

2. Like any other copyright violation, through the courts. But there is a history of successful GPL enforcement by the mere threat of going to court (since what you're usually after is compliance, not damages).

3. Depends heavily on the jurisdiction, but in most of them, it certainly helps to have a copyright holder involved (I would go as far as to say it's a necessity). But you also need money, so most likely, something like the EFF or SFLC.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the headers after clicking on your link and I found that it was sending Referrer as: https://news.ycombinator.com which is not an issue. But then I refreshed the page and saw the same Referrer again. So I checked where it was getting the Referrer from and it was not storing anything in localStorage, not in URL, nor in sessionStorage, nor in cookies. Any idea where the site was getting the Referrer from?

This library's focus on correctness is what made me realize how absurdly complex SVG rendering is.

They focus only on static SVG, and only on SVG 1 (though apparently they're working on SVG 2 support) and they still only manage to pass something like 90% of the tests.

Which is more than any of the popular browsers or SVG rendering libraries. I wouldn't be surprised if resvg were the most compliant SVG renderer in existence.

And that doesn't even take into account the actually complicated parts of SVG, like requiring an entire JavaScript interpreter for the <script> tags, which resvg rightfully excluded from its scope.

These decisions made sense for the web, I guess, where all of the pieces were already there. The browsers already had to handle native text rendering, JavaScript, etc. It seems like SVG became something like a common interface to the drawing primitives browsers had anyway. Plus JavaScript.

I'd like to see a much smaller, embeddable vector graphics format that doesn't require a whole browser to implement it.

Ask HN: Service\freelancers to improve your resume
Hello!

I'm wondering is there any specific way you know to improve the quality of your resume? (For example https://www.levels.fyi/services/resume or hire someone on fiverr\upwork) Maybe you know something better.

Do you think it makes sense to use such a service?
Do you think CV\resume matters?
What else do you think makes sense to look into before looking into new jobs?

Thanks!

I think the GP points to the fact that given the inability of computers to evaluate the consequences of its programming, ruthlessness is a concept that cannot apply to them because by definition involves disregard about those consequences, not ignorance.

Hah! Because one worked/works at Google they must inherently be smart? If those walls could speak...

No. There are stupid people at Google too. It's a company and the hiring bar is high but it's also very specific. You can be an idiot in most things but still be very good at one. I've know a few. At Google.

There have also been hires that were "good demographics." (That's a quote from one of my senior leadership at the time I worked there.) Sometimes you can be rejected by all the interviewers and still make it.

sqlite has a "busy handler" mechanism which tells it how to respond to blocks and most apps use the builtin one with which they can tell it "wait for X milliseconds before failing on a lock."

The Fossil SCM (https://fossil-scm.org), the SCM in which sqlite itself is hosted, is an sqlite application which serves thousands of users per day, many of them in write transactions. Its forum is a separate sqlite3 instance. sqlite3's own forum is another... all of those serve many users, many of whom are writing, and in 14 years of using/contributing to fossil-scm.org, almost on a daily basis, i've hit exactly two locking errors.

Good info on refractive error there, though I don't see much on prism lenses used for this purpose. While searching, I did discover this book, the Myopia Manual, which they're hosting a copy of. It looks quite thorough and does have a chapter on using prisms to match vergence with accommodation in plus lenses. The book also has its own site http://www.myopia-manual.de/

I also found an older myopia submission where a comment links several related sites.[1] frauenfeldclinic.com now redirects to endmyopia.org; archive.org confirms that the old domain was the same site, but oddly the new domain has an exclusion applied. As one reply noted, myopia.org really is an excellent display of the Time Cube design language.[2]

Most users of my Lunar app (https://lunar.fyi) that were coming from Windows, have been praising the Windows multi monitor experience while the Mac felt limited in the handling of external monitors.

I admit that finding a way to change monitor brightness [1] or turn off individual displays [2] wasn’t as straightforward and needed a lot of reverse engineering. But macOS has a much nicer API [3] for configuring screen position, resolution, mirroring etc.

It’s not without its quirks however, I ran into a lot of bugs while developing the Blackout feature when having to create multiple mirror sets with multiple displays in each one. I finally had to reverse engineer the MonitorPanel.framework that’s used by System Preferences to get that functionality. [4]

From my understanding, Windows has a native way of disabling a display in software so this wouldn’t even be needed there.

Everything that is not human is ruthless. Non-ruthlessness is a purely human quality due to our ability to empathize with other humans and even non-human animals and objects.

Animals are ruthless, they will kill or devour you alive without a second of hesitation or remorse.

Nature is ruthless, it will freeze you to death, drown you, or demolish your community forever deaf to your pleas for mercy.

The universe is ruthless, its laws are unbending and its vastness is deadly and inhospitable to human life.

(Previously I tried the ESR approach of starting with C, and got frustrated and gave up. Learn python, and learn the math the broken American K-12 system did not teach you in one fell swoop -- you'll learn a lot about algerbra and pretty much anything not involving weird curves.)

I think I have my copy stashed away with my lockpicks, rope, razor blades, and boxes of matches I bought before the pandemic. (A Boy Scout is always prepared, even if all of BSA along with the church they met in has gone bankrupt.)

Also, the "K&R book" is ISBN number 9780131101630, in case you, the OP, being a non engineer, don't know what the acronym mentioned elsewhere in the thread was :-)

> I'm just not sure that adding, for example, the ability for the AI to hold a grudge, is very useful or strictly a requirement for sentience, and it could even be potentially dangerous.

I'm convinced at some point we'll have people arguing that AIs aren't conscious, or aren't sentient, purely because they "aren't flawed enough" (like humans).

"Internal family systems" theory accounts explains incoherence between emotions and behavior well enough in humans: we are made up of parts, with different motivations and emotions, and whichever one "wins out" determines our behavior, even if it's harmful (procrastination, addiction). Implementing IFS in AI should be enough to perfectly replicate humans' emotional conflicts and inconsistencies, but why would we do that?

Using humans as the benchmark for a "sophisticated general intelligence agent" (i.e. the Turing test) is a dangerous idea, and might even be unethical (should we program AIs to feel trauma?)

For several decades it has been known that myopia (nearsightedness) and intelligence are correlated[1][2]. Initially it was speculated that reading caused nearsightedness, and through that higher intelligence. There is probably some truth to that.

But with modern DNA sequencing techniques researches has found genes that seem to affect both[3][4].

The hypothesis is that one (or a set of) genes affects both eye size growth (myopia is often caused by the eye being "too long") and neocortical size (associated with intelligence).

Although this probably won't surprise anyone in this research field, I recently read about it -- with my non-nearsighted eyes :) -- and found it interesting. So I wanted to share, since it's somewhat related to this topic.

Wayfire is a pretty good general purpose desktop. Sadly development has died down a little recently and I have switched platforms.

It's still very extensible with many interesting plugins and it just gets some things completely right. Know how Windows, X, many Wayland desktops and even macOS sometimes do weird things when you move windows between differently scaled displays? Wayfire has 0 - absolutely no - artifacts (glitchiness, things jumping around, etc). And that's at any (floating-point) scale. It also has "finger following" touchpad desktop switching gestures, which no other compositor had for a long time. It also has blur behind windows.

So it's not really about the flashy window-flames for me that you see on the surface, it also just has a really solid core.
I have experienced this, i.e., hijacking, but I would respectfullly contest the term "most". But perhaps the statement was only referring to airports.

I met someone yesterday who was treating politicians like favorite bands. (AOC is so 2018 and Summer Lee is mainsteam? Oh... and you're from out west? ORLY?)

I asked them if they'd heard of the Italian five star movement[1], and if they'd considered merging the very good idea that politics should not be a career with less wackadoo euroskeptic.

(The EU might have issues, but I assure you using a shared currency rather than relying on credit or debit card companies is cool and good, dear reader.)

Then again, this was not someone born in my state. The ultimate luxury belief is the idea you can show up in another place only by virtue of the neoliberal world order you claim to hate, express extreme opinions that remove from power those who know the people who have been here for many generations, knowing that you and your "partner" (in the romantic sense or "I'm from a city with a now closed RU embassy" sense) and not be responsible for the damage wrought.

You probably believe this will bring about a wave of progressivism across Europe.

You should consider that a larger portion of young French people support Le Pen than older French people. Similarly, Biden's job approval rating has tanked among Gen Z and millenial voters, to the point where Gen Z voters approve of him less than boomers do, by a significant margin.

I think you'll find young people aren't as progressive as you assume. Especially not now, after their futures have been demolished by political policy (most obviously by housing policy, student loans and massive inflation).

By suppressing older voters, you will actually push the pendulum to the right. By a lot.

Humans are animal. The only reason we exercise compassion or empathy is because we have mastered limited power and resource - we are mostly comfortable and safe.
