You said "solve". I said "minimize". Details matter, boss.
It seems you fail to understand what class means. Regardless of what you think it means, you're using it wrong. The command given in the example is:

- not a regex
- not a class of regex
- not a part of regex in general

please educate yourself, as you seem to have trouble understanding the scope of what regex is.
Kasm is a self-hosted alternative that’s free and avoids the security issues.
I've bought cheap calipers from a discounter, and they're accurate to ~0.01 mm when compared to expected sizes of e.g. coins or measurements taken with a fancy caliper set I had access to.

I'm sure there are some downsides that would show with regular use, but for my hobbyist use case (occasionally take measurements, typically only needing to be accurate to something like 0.1 mm), they're more than enough. I've had one case where I needed sub-0.1mm accuracy and they also did that job perfectly.

Absolute scale would be a valuable time-saver though if I was using them professionally, and machinists probably benefit a lot from having coolant-proof versions.
Most people only experience phantom perceptions when they are asleep. But for people with tinnitus, they hear phantom sounds while they are awake.

Idk, when I’m in the grey zone of falling asleep (mostly when inner visuals start), it actually turns off. Also, I can’t hear it for few seconds after waking up, or for extended period, if wakeup gets slow. This is opposite to this claim, afaiu.
I have a Mitutoyo vernier 6", an 8", and a cheap digital model.

The build quality on the Mitutoyo vernier 6" is so good that I always reach for it first. I also like its analog readout, and no batteries required.

The digital one has its uses - good if you need to do arithmetic, or compare to a DRO on another tool (like a planer, for woodworking).
The shares give you a claim on the profits. The rules are a combination of the corporate bylaws and the law. The latter does not let owners set all the rules: it imposes health and safety restrictions, taxes, and (yes!) unionisation rules.

The people who make the laws get to set all the rules. The shares are valuable anyway, because an economic interest in a profit making entity is valuable whether you have perfect control or not.
Errr direct quote from the article:
"These tests… are not credible.

Take the 3.0-micron tests on medium, where Wirecutter claims “virtually all” particles were removed. If we take that to mean 99%, that implies a CADR of 236.2. (The math is below.) That is 75% higher than the manufacturer’s claimed performance on high.

It also contradicts the Wirecutter’s own tests. On a different page, they tested the same purifier on medium in a (smaller) 1215 ft³ room and found only 92% of particles were removed. This implies a (plausible) CADR of just 98.1.

So we can either (a) accept that the purifier’s performance randomly varies by a factor of more than 2.4 or (b) conclude that the Wirecutter did an extremely shoddy job of running these tests."

Why did you make three separate top level comments on this?
There's a lot of truth behind this, but it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

The reason it was "way down the list of real world priorities" is because it was perceived as an impossible requirement to meet in terms of effort. My hopes is that it would be met as an innocuous side effect of making the thing work in a mobile and desktop viewport, but for the reasons I speculated above, it wasn't, and hence got dropped down on the list to the point where it wasn't worth the battle needed to ship a truly responsive design.

I can't just blame individuals though -- its easy to say, "oh, well they just weren't smart or motivated enough", but that's not the case. In the end I'm left thinking that the tooling, documentation, and ecosystem surrounding it simply didn't support making this "an easy requirement".

This would never happen in America because it would require Americans addressing their views on transit and addressing their pitiful consumer rail or even consumer bus industries.
Universal Healthcare Could Have Saved More Than 330k U.S. Lives During Covid
Don't worry, you're not alone. During the pandemic, one of my clients got about 20 Quest 2s for employees to have at home in an effort to make people feel more in touch and experiment with VR meetings & workspaces. After the novelty wore off, usage dropped to basically zero and I don't know anyone who uses theirs now for anything besides games.

For me, Quest 2 is very obviously a "not there yet" product that seems to mostly appeal to kids and people who don't actually care about graphics or comfort. It's hot, battery life is bad, strapping over a pound on your face for hours at a time is not fun, and the graphics are visibly bad - even just sitting still the edges are horribly aliased and the screen door effect is massively apparent. Plus the nausea for many people, and the complete lack of spatial awareness. I will say that untethered is massively better than tethered, though, even with the graphics penalty. Quest 4 (I don't think v3 will be a big enough improvement) or whatever Apple eventually releases might actually be appealing, though.
Kinda fun to think about lol

- catching up on 0days: as organizations grow in headcount, their internal review and release processes naturally becomes slower; inversely relative to the amount of programming languages, frameworks, tools they involve in their toolkit which grows overtime. put out everything publicly now everything is a possible attack surface.

- incentives on finding vulnerabilities: should you get $1k to 100k on bug bounty, or should you steal $1m to $10m when you can?

- complexity on international scale: consider large fraudulent transactions through banks A, B, C where each bank is headquartered in different countries. will those banks comply / cooperate? up to how much is insured? how long until users get their money back? up to what point will law enforcement agencies can be involved?
A 100% LVT is the endgoal (since that represents full compensation for the externalities produced by excluding others from land), but I don't know of anyone proposing it as an immediate target; usually the idea is to ramp it up gradually while phasing out other taxes.
Personal observation of Congress.
Excerpt.
And ironically, good security hygiene makes you look like a bad actor. While this "verification" is intrusive and unreasonable - I'm not defending it - often the root is creating an account from a VPN, or with minimal browser fingerprinting allowed, etc. An average user who doesn't take any precautions is likely to have a substantial activity profile already associated to their IP / cookies / etc. But run through a VPN? You trigger all the fraud checks. Use private browsing? Trigger all the fraud checks and hope you like filling out CAPTCHAs constantly on top of that. Tor? Likely to be blocked completely.

Seasoning fake accounts in realistic ways mostly isn't worth the effort, because bad actors can just compromise real accounts and use those instead. (There are some specific use cases, mostly with nation-state actors, where seasoned and aged fake accounts might make sense, but those are unusual.)
That’s even more true for american high profile university and their deep pockets.

They likely already have datacenters and high bandwidth internet connections (multiple).

Oh and they also have staff already on the payroll, and likely capable students that could lend a hand as a part time job or something.

Not to mention, the role of big corporations could be reduced to cdn only, for example (tink of google cdn, cloudfront or cloudflare).

It just take willingness to actually address the problem.
Malls, office buildings are less realistic, sure. Prefering million-dollar-per-unit-construction to existing motels and apartments or condo buildings, on the other hand, appears to be perfect being the enemy of the good.

It's easy for committees of people who largely don't need affordable or last-resort housing to make it practically impossible to create it.
Those things were like 20 years ago ? JIRA is working years old. We’ve developed better more simple issue trackers since, such as GitHub issues and projects. Much simpler.
The College Bubble Won’t Just Pop
"I actually subscribe to Which a UK consumer reports guide."

I used to too, for quite a few years.

However, their IT related reviews boiled down to "Windows PC: Good, Apple: Pretty, Linux and Open Source: Not on my watch". A Consumer Forum "for good" completely ignores Open Source - why? Personally I think it is down to a lack of imagination rather than anything politically motivated.

I did find many of their reviews useful - you get some great details on their working and they spend a decent amount of time on reviewing non IT stuff. The content articles were also often very decent, well written and often thought provoking. Their consumer campaigning has got as far as making changes to Laws too in the past so I do think Which is a general force for good.

I just got pissed off that as soon as a laptop or desktop or software article came along, the usual turgid crap would come out. Perhaps this has improved since around 2015 when I ditched them after being a subscriber for over 10 years.
Does your hatred of crypto prevent you from criticizing nazis?
> And he's clearly someone you can buy demonstrated by his flip flopping AMD/Intel/NVidia praise.

He gives praise where praise is due, that isn't bias. Many times on the WAN show he's reminded viewers and especially Red/Green/Blue fanboys that none of these companies are your friend. And big deal if he's more productive using Windows than Linux.

I'm in no way defending Linus, there's a bunch of stuff him and another staffer get up to that's utterly cringeworthy. But as to the rest of your comment I think it's your own biases that are playing in your head.
So your hypothesis is that VCs put their class interests ahead of making money to such an extent that it is impossible to exercise our legal rights without putting the companies we work for in their political crosshairs?

You may be right. It still seems like the easiest solution is for all the startups to unionize so they don't have any choice: they can either invest in unionized startups or they can stop being VCs.
What? I have a 2016 MacBook Pro (Touch Bar, maxed out), 2019 MacBook Pro (16” Intel, maxed out) and a 2021 MacBook Pro (16” M1 Max, maxed out). All can connect with the same single cable to my 2 x 5K displays, ATEM + DSLR webcam, audio interface and gigabit ethernet without any issue. The difference is the M1 can ALSO connect more easily to projectors, and have the protection of MagSafe when away from the desk. The keyboard is hands down the most comfortable on the 2016 (butterfly) though, so I tend to use that away from my desk.
> If your company is paying for SAML through Okta, you can afford enterprise pricing.

Okta's list price starts about $7/user/mo - https://www.okta.com/pricing/ - That's not a huge sum. And in this increasing hybrid world, not uncommon for companies to be less than 25 employees and buying into SSO. Okta's also probably the most expensive of the major dedicated players in that space (like Ping, OneLogin, etc).

Now lets look at some end systems:

* https://slack.com/pricing -- Almost doubles in price to get SAML. $5.83 /user/mo increase.

* https://zoom.us/pricing -- $50/user/year increase (~$4.14/user/mo)

* https://www.atlassian.com/software/access/pricing -- $4/user/mo

A lot of other systems don't even publish their prices, like Smartsheet. But just two of those systems alone are more than the cost of Okta. And hardly any companies have only "2 or 3" systems to SAML.

So as a business you can get a SSO provider for reasonable cost, but end up paying many multiples more than the cost of the provider...to the services to get support. Is each individual service breaking the bank? No. But are they a problem for IT staffs to get budget cumulatively? Very much so.
Also ex-Apple here. Radar does suffer (to a lesser extent than Jira) from a profound defect, though: Searches are "exact match" for whatever text you put in the title. To find a bug YOU filed, you have to remember the exact words and sequence you used in the title. Did I say "resize window" or "resize a window?"

I filed a bug against Radar for this behavior, and developers from other teams added comments expressing surprise that the tool was crippled in this manner. I think a year later, someone said, "Yep, our team got bit by this today again. We assumed this was fixed years ago."

This fundamental flaw may explain why some widely-encountered bugs in Apple products don't get fixed, or at least fixed in a timely manner. A dozen Radars could be filed for the same defect, but if they aren't phrased the same way you'll never find all the dupes. So dumb.

Still... I could construct queries based on status and product more easily in Radar than in Jira.
Yes for sure, I'd not buy anything in California at prices in past 2 years.

How are Milton Friedman's ideas holding up?
Legitimate question: what's the logical term for this argument? Those flights would have happened without Vitalik on them, so the carbon footpring is not really attributable to him.

Other situations seem similar (ie, "why should I go vote? my vote doesn't really matter?") they really aren't: yes, I shouldn't throw trash in the park, because if we all did we'd be screwed--but we can't all fly every 2 weeks.
I love it. I love the accent, cadence and volume.
There's a whole section on the Wirecutter's tests, called "On tests."
People should also understand why he said he would be offended. He would be offended because it meant they didn’t talk to him and work with him - and that he did such a bad job as a manager that they decided to unionize.

He’s pro-union - he just hopes he is a good enough boss that his employees don’t feel like they need to unionize. He clarified his viewpoint in later videos. Offended was probably not the best choice of word - and he admits that too. I don’t recall the video but someone can find it. (I’m on mobile and on vacation - idk why I’m even here)
DSLRs can be pretty old - I have a Canon EOS on on the shelf that outputs a clean 1080 picture, looks great, and is over 15 years old. Looks great, but the latency in the video signal sucks. Probably same Elgato capture card you have.

You'd think that any DSLR from, let's say, last ten years would be just fine, but it all just comes down to the internals of the cam in question. I'm just saying it's wise to check the experience on the other end before putting an old DSLR into production. Out of sync audio is more distracting than lower quality video.

Speaking of cheap cameras - don't count out older camcorders either. An older (but quality) camcorder will get you drastically better image quality and control capabilities than a webcam too, same process as hooking up an older DSLR (capture card, etc). Same challenges to be aware of with latency, and maybe moreso. I've seen a camcorder produced in last two years that had too much latency in HDMI signal to be worth the trouble - it was lower end, but just illustrates the point that component quality varies and has an impact on your use case.
I'm sure there are such devs, but just yesterday I had a scenario where hours of time would have been saved by just having the "compiler"/build-tool tell me that I'd misspelled a property in some javascript code (in QML in fact, so the property name was defined at the C++ level - perhaps there are IDEs that could have flagged this automatically but mine didn't). That was enough to remind me static typing is virtually always preferable.
That's where UBI (or "citizens' dividend", in Georgist parlance) comes in. Unless Grandma's living in a SFH in SoMa, she's probably gonna end up getting more in dividends and other public services than she'd pay in LVT.
I'm not senior in title, but I recently accepted an offer from a place that looked over my publicly visible GitLab projects and bypassed the technical challenge based on that work. We still had a technical conversation to confirm that I knew what I was talking about. Their willingness to do this played a huge role in me choosing their offer.
They are missing some items from their "VR Turing Test:

POST THE SALARY.

Senior people are senior because of their work experience, which they gain from steady employment.

Almost by definition you are looking to entice busy, employed people away from their current jobs.

They don’t have the time or inclination to trawl through job ad after job ad. Where your competition will ask for 15 years of experience and then only after hours of calls and meetings reluctantly make an offer half of what the candidate is currently making.

You have to stand out from this, or you’re perceived as the same “waste of time” category.

You’re not hiring starving students. You’re hiring people with options and responsibilities.

Respect their time and value and they’ll consider your offer.
NFT royalties often relate to resale, not media access. But in some web3 platforms, sales and revenue could be directed automatically to creators through smart contract functionality.
Honestly, I think most startups are betting that employees don’t know any better. This was true up to maybe 5 years ago, but sites like levels.fyi have really made this trade off clear to potential employees. Half the time when I talk to a potential hiring manager at a private company, they really don’t know what the equity is worth or how it’s structured.

I’d argue that an effective 20-30% discount on 409A for employees in series C+ is about right. On a successful, but expected, exit - this gives the employee some premium compared to working at a public tech company in exchange for deferred compensation and liquidity risk.
I tend to agree with you, but will present a challenge anyways: who cares about the exchange if the tokens being traded aren’t themselves aren’t backed by some utility?

I would answer that at the very least, the exchange between Bitcoin, Stablecoins, and contract coins powering the platform provides a solid foundation. People who want to argue Bitcoin isn’t useful usually just want to argue and are often fairly inept.
Using the entitlements are enforced at runtime yes, but granting them in the first place is enforced at app review time. If an app asserts an entitlement the developer can't justify it will fail review.

> Instead on HN we get brainless vitriol against ANYTHING blockchain related and arguments that decentralization is unnecessary (just use a database, duh! Just trust Google, duh!). The whole thing is frustratingly dishonest.

I’m honestly trying not to throw the baby out with the bath water here but struggling to find out if the baby was ever even in the bath amidst all this dirty water. The problem statements people say crypto will solve and then the implementation always seem like total non-sequiturs to me. I could just be dumb and missing the next big thing from the internet, I accept that. But it’s not for a lack of trying or good faith that smart people could see something there, I assure you.

> Facebook, Google, and/or Apple control your life. You can't even operate a phone without one of them.

How is a blockchain going to approach solving this problem? Why are we conflating these issues? This is the kind of thing that makes me scratch my head like I mentioned above.
"Game economies have to be tightly controlled to combat things like RMT, botting, and unsanctioned item trading. Letting people transfer in any item they want basically makes that impossible. "

The usual way - entitlements are held in a kernel data structure, and the kernel and associated system services won't allow access to APIs when the entitlement isn't there.

Try it on iOS, if you don't have the right entitlements system API calls will fail.

What this really is, is showing political compliance. Just like what Italians had to do in the late 30s to prevent their businesses from being destroyed.

How would you feel if most apps all over the App Store for one whole month used right wing political symbology to signal their compliance? I’m sure you’d get pretty angry about it. Try to put yourself in other’s shoes, and stop participating in this low-effort fascism.

>Using a compressed-memory back end, TMO saves 7 percent to12 percent of resident memory across five applications. Multiple applications’ data have poor compressibility, such that offloading to an SSD proves far more effective.

that in general sounds strange. My experience across different application types over more than 2 decades has been very different (not about SSD, i mean the compression in memory have been always a very efficient approach).

> Specifically, machine learning models used for Ads prediction commonly use quantized byte-encoded values that exhibit a compression ratio of 1.3-1.4x.

yep, i haven't used compression for that. That though calls for a question - how many of those models do FB have in memory. Any chance FB instantiates such a model for every user/request? :)
Yes it is, because you can. Just because you personally wont doesn't remove it as a feature.
What's happening to Meta/Facebook and Instagram? Are they destroying themselves from inside, when they cannot get their stuff together enough to fix their bugs preventing new people from joining?

My years old Instagram blocked, although I had never posted anything, just looked at other people's posts some years ago.

There was an error message about me having violated their terms of service. Although it worked the last time I used it, and thereafter I did nothing for many years.

So I tried to create a new account. First I got "Internal Error, try again". And then, (I tried again), after having chosen a password and verified my email (a new address for a new account), there was an error like "Seems you're using an open proxy. If you think this is not the case ... blah blah".
I mean let’s be clear here, we are taking about a symbol that’s for the backing of the rights of a group of people. There would be large problems for society as a whole if the pendulum swings the other way.
