>Academia is curious in that performance, both relative and cardinal, is evaluated explicitly and sometimes publicly; you develop a reputation quickly, and making errors especially in a classroom or seminar setting can be humiliating. Academics for their part tend to lean into this by playing the “let’s see how quickly I can destroy this entire presentation” game.

This actually just hit me because it highlighted something my (new) boss does that completely caught me by surprise. He goes away and does research on an idea and comes to an extremely strong opinion about something, and only then will he discuss it with you, and I think that is highly related to this (his background is academia).

In some ways this is great, he'll present things he's really thought about, but the flipside of it is that he wants absolutely no discussion. It's always communicated as "I've looked into this and decided x" and the result is that there's no real interrogation of the idea. And since the area we subject area we work in is new to him, it often means there are things he just doesn't have the experience or intuition to reason about. This has resulted in several situations where the team has had to do enormous amounts of work based on questionable assumptions that later turn out to not hold up to scrutiny.

In every other team I've worked in people present their ideas without ego, are open to discussion and feedback and value the different perspectives. It takes a lot of effort to find ways to influence him and highlight issues, you kind of have to create a situation where you're making sure you're giving him feedback and thoughts about ideas before he has stated an opinion.
I built a little system that measures many of my systems and alerts me of anomalies or systems approaching limits via telegram. Kinda dumb in all, so very customized but saves me time and effort.

I regret it, I feel like I should have developed something more profitable.
I have never once worried about the safety of a playground, except for when they're not fenced and my 2 year old could wander in to traffic while I'm distracted by my 4 year old....
What in particular has happened since then and which textbooks explaining these new techniques or discoveries would you recommend?
Last time I studied this, I worked through Ott's book and through the book by Almeida, but both are older, so I am curious what the developments were.
As a john deere employee not speaking for my company, repair issues are non existent to most customers. They go to the dealer and buy any part or tool they need, including the same scan tools the dealer uses.

Everytime I dig into someone complaining about right to repair I find someone who wants to bypass emissions controls.
This is not similar at all to phone charger cables. My iPhone cables, which are now being made illegal by the EU, work perfectly (including the third-party ones).
My biggest concern for children is the potential for long covid. New studies suggest a possible correlation between severe infection and long covid (https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00072-1). If the vaccine can reduce the likelihood of a severe infection, thus reducing the likelihood of long covid, then I'll take my chances and vaccinate my kids. Long covid aside, I'd still vaccinate my children if it could potentially reduce the severity of an infection. I'm not worried about my kids dying from the seasonal flu, but we still vaccinate them to prevent a severe infection.
UPS Stores also have this type of option. Though, depending on your print choice it is freaking costly.
Literally an hour ago, I ran into an issue where Safari does not support lookbehind in regular expressions. https://caniuse.com/js-regexp-lookbehind

Say what you want but it is so frustrating when you run into problems like this. It does remind me of old IE days where we had to produce one gazillion hacks for IE.
> Tolkien's universe is a quite depressing one. It's a series of stable periods interspersed with cataclysmic events that permanently lower the quality of life.

I've been sitting in this comment for a day or two now, trying to figure out what to say, because I totally get it. In a moment of serendipity, I was reading another book that illustrated I think the core conviction: humanity is not a machine, and while machines progress, people do not.

Tolkien sees in man a great capacity for both good and evil, rejects the notion of man's inherent goodness (borne of his Roman Catholicism and first-hand experience of WW1), and asserts that Good, while perhaps much diminished with respect to evil, is inherently the stronger force. (I think he's essentially Augustinian here--evil is an absence of Good or a mimicry of it, but cannot actually create. It only perverts.)

So yes, there is a sort of depressing aspect of his universe: a rejection of inherent goodness and of progress. People don't change, but their technology unleashes a capacity for evil on a massive scale. At the same time, there is an obvious thread of hope in the series, too. Evil cannot exist on its own, and the nature of the Good is to create anew. There are those touched from the outside whose goodness triumphs over the evil within and without. The eucatastrophe is real.
Would it be worth the legal costs? Probably not.

Our courts don't operate based on who is on the right side of the law. They operate based on who has more cash to burn.

https://github.com/bjesus/air is my AwesomeWM based Interface to my PostmarketOS Kobo e-reader. Linux on your e-reader isn't a huge market share to begin with...
Of course if his profile was public then there's no need for that.

By the way, I know way more about Belarus that average HN dweller, and I'd estimate number of "non-government actors supportive of the current Belarus government" same, if not less than government actors.

There are dozens of govt-paid internet trolls/experts/bots working literally from KGB office. They are paid reasonably well ($1k+/month) and are constantly under pressure to report any success up the chain of command. Being so overstaffed, they are not as lazy as regular govt workers, and really do organize cross-agency investigative operations to make arrests of people like those who wrote "NO WAR" or "NOT MY PRESIDENT" on a random wall.

Same as analyzing ISP logs -- they are overstaffed and pushed, so not lazy to do that.
that's moving the goalposts. It was about anonymity too.
I don’t think an average person would understand a word of what you just wrote.
That really doesn't count as being pushed down. That's you burning money for fun. I know what that's like too but it sure doesn't count as the Man keeping me down, you're describing one hell of a 'first world problem' that doesn't really make sense in the context of this discussion.

Wanting a 5 million dollar car doesn't count as getting pushed down. And its unreliability isn't really in the same context as depending on the $5000 (or $500) beater. If your 5 million dollar car conks out, you are more frustrated than endangered: no thing that you do is seriously at risk, as you'll have alternate ways to get to work etc., including the random acquisition of the same $5000 car, which to you is pocket change, beneath consideration.
It's not the cartridge that's the problem, it's the print head. Inkjet printheads have a large number of tiny nozzles that are fed by tiny lines (which resemble a ribbon cable). The Achilles' heel of the technology is that ink can dry up inside the lines and the nozzles and destroy the print head, necessitating replacement. To combat this printer manufacturers have designed the printers with automatic ink-flushing routines which keep them clear of drying ink. This wastes a lot of ink if you aren't printing every day.

It's fine to want something better. I, personally, gave up on inkjet printers and switched to laser a long time ago. I have only ever been an occasional printer but I always want a printer available for when I need it. I have no interest in photo printing either, so a laser is perfect for my needs. Perhaps you have different needs. I can imagine it being very frustrating if you want to print the occasional photo and are always finding the ink cartridge empty or dried up. Personally, if I wanted to occasionally print a photo I would probably get it done professionally rather than waste money on yet another inkjet printer.
I’m spending way too much money and time making light up skis for next winter. Bluetooth control from my phone, gyroscope to make them react to my carving, etc.
I'm always amazed at how many years into the future crypto enthusiasts are willing to wait for the basic use case of their product to be practical. "Sure, you can't use this currency for day to day transactions, and it's incredibly volatile and risky to hold significant amounts of it, but one day, by magic one assumes, it might be useful!"
Why stop at children? College students have been increasingly surveilled during the pandemic and the shift to online education.

The popular tool Lock Down Browser is more or less spyware that takes over your device, monitors every click, and watches every movement. And yet most colleges and universities can’t reliably detect cheating even with this tool.
Because fair use does not mean any use.

> This is not communism. Corporations want to make money and control their own destiny.

> Why should Apple, a private corporation be fully open? Seriously. I want diversity as well. But will that happen? Will Apple, Microsoft or Google allow just about anything on their platforms??

This is a strange comment. The history of personal computing from 1977 - 2007 was mostly open platforms. Apple II was open. Macintosh was open and continues to be (mostly) open. Microsoft Windows has been and continues to be open.

iPhone is the historical outlier.
The key aspect that allowed her to respond the way she did was humility. Humility - how is that taught? I can think of how I learned to be more humble and they all were hard trials not reproducible in the classroom; so far as I know anyway.
I'm in the same boat. I was a big fan after many years happily using a monochrome HL-5250DN networked laser printer. It was just great: the printer was cheap, it printed well and fast, the cartridges were dirt cheap and lasted forever (1 cartridge was like 7000 pages).

Now I have one of their color laser printer which is OK but it's slow, you can't print that much with it before having to change one or the other cartridge and the OEM ink is terribly expensive.

If they now prevent from using third party ink like this, I'm officially out.

From your requirements “have discussions there but to include also non-technical people, while also being able to plan for technical work” almost every single task management system would work. Can you give more specifics?
What does it use for archiving the pages and how capable is it? What does it do e. g. for a dynamic web map?
Do you even know what you're talking about? Are you referring to iron rust being randomly distributed in the ocean or along the coast? All that will do is cause an algal bloom and die off, killing off even more of the depleted marine life. That won't sequester any carbon, at best 0.05% if you do it in a way that forms the sediment. Otherwise, you're just killing what little marine life is left for giggles.
I appreciate the advice but be careful speaking so openly about it, the ink cabal is watching.
> I can't wrap my head around how the printer market has turned into this absolutely dispicable, foul state that it is in right now.

This is the dying gasps of an industry that is mostly irrelevant in the modern age.

When I was growing up we always had a printer, and while ink wasn't cheap, it wasn't too bad, so we used it a lot and printed everything we needed. The industry grew to expect this, most households with a computer also owning a printer and regularly buying ink for it.

This isn't the case anymore. So much of our lives happens "digital-only" that printers aren't needed by most people, and those who do need them don't need as much ink. I have never owned a printer myself, and my parents still own one but buy ink on a yearly basis now.

The market should be shrinking naturally, and so every printer company is trying everything they possibly can to grow or at least keep from shrinking as much. In the panic they are in, it's understandable that this will lead to crappy business practices.
On windows you can get 1ms accuracy out of the built in Sleep() function by calling timeBeginPeriod[1] It sets the resolution of timers in that process to the specified ms value. I've used this + spinning to make high res sleep before and it works well.

Where I live convenience stores (7-11) and most larger supermarkets have this. Basically a combo photo printer + office copier with a touchscreen and USB/memory card readers. Some of the are also loaded with postcards (for xmas cards) or even sticker paper to make your own stickers.

I also like to print out A3 posters for my kids and these printers can do that, whereas I'd never buy a huge A3 printer to have at home.
Not only is this post title different from the article, and very click-baity, but it's super misleading.

Netflix is adding a new, cheaper tier that includes ads. If you pay for Netflix currently and don't downgrade to the cheaper tier, you won't get ads.
Nice! Doesn't solve the core problem though: we almost never go back to read these hundreds of bookmarked websites.
It doesnt matter
As long as it's not an inkjet printer, since the ink will dry out or the printer will just think the ink is too old after half a year or so.
Not in the future it won't be.

I really like Safari but no, they are definitely not "leading the gang" in adopting features.
Indeed, I am sorry that happened to you. The reason is that it doesn't fix the root of the problem, eyeball length. Instead, it barbarically carves a lens shape into one's cornea.

This one is one of mine from way back in the day, a 6502-based ternary computer emulator with an assembler, a simple operating system, and a compiler for a dialect of C adapted to base 3: http://tunguska.sourceforge.net/

It had a user base of like 3-4 russian ternary computing enthusiasts, dunno if it still even compiles. Fun project though.

As with all of my projects (even those that bring value to others), I do them for myself so as long as I find value in them I'll keep putting time on them. No regrets.

I kinda find my writing funny, very mathematically rigorous and ambitious. http://tunguska.sourceforge.net/docs.html
Not really sure who I thought the audience would be.
As a person who grew up before everything got all woke, I can attest to playgrounds of yore being dangerous, and thus, exciting and interesting places.

I have no fear of heights, but a healthy respect has been instilled in me from various attempts by my younger self to reenact various action scenes from the glorious testosterone fueled action movies we had access to without parental supervision as small kids, it was absolutely wonderful.

Being a parent today and seeing the dull shit my own son will have access to, I don't feel the least safer.. Sure, he might not fall down and hurt himself THERE.. but he also won't learn it there.. where there at least is soft sand below, and where he could have learned many of the dangers of the physical world in a scaled-down and at least somewhat controlled manner.

Remember those spinning things, "roundabouts" or whatever they are called.. Every child who survived one of the more energetic bouts on those things, they know something about centrifugal force and how after a certain threshold, keeping yourself in the center is the only way to avoid bruises.. It gives some general ideas about the mechanics of the world and your body, and your strength.. It improves your ability to move about in the physical world in a safe way.
> Cryptocurrencies have long made promises of decentralisation and fairness and, despite that, people still centralise around exchanges in the same way that people centralise around traditional banks.

This is the value of crypto. People can choose how much they want to trust 3rd parties and how much personal responsibility they want to take on. Some people may always choose a centralized mechanism for managing their assets, some will choose to manage their assets completely on their own, and others will decide on a case-by-case basis if they want a 3rd party involved.
I think this is the correct take. Most comments have been developers complaining that Safari doesn't do esoteric task _x_ rather than their clients can't achieve _y_

Apple make products for the top end of customers and they don't want to be dealing with complaints from Grandma about battery life because they hit a series of dark patterns and accidentally installed Chrome and made it default.

They've made it quite clear IMO that pwa style products would be better served by a native app.
Only write really short tests/scripts and kill puppeteer after each one. Sadly I want to use a corporate word but that really is best practice.

Death is natural too. As intelligent people, we're not only obliged but fascinated with the problem of overcoming harmful things in our environments.

This distribution is without merit and counts as a harmful thing. I'm not sure why any intelligent person would be enthusiastic about it when by definition it represents nothing useful, and at worst damages potentially useful economic players for no benefit at all.
I have not talked to a single team developing mobile apps for Safari that hasn’t run into significant problems.

If you’re just building a standard body scroll website with a simple ui/ux you’ll likely be ok. As soon as you start doing complex stuff with pinned panels, or gestures, animations, drag and drop then you’ll hit the bugs.

Some of the bugs developers have been complaining about for 7 years.

Every browser we develop has bugs, Safari just has 10x as many.
You can't just share this and then not linked to the project. Bandcamp please!
>Faster weight loss noticed in the group just doing a diet change and not doing increased exercise.

Did they track muscle mass? Because from personal anecdata: When I change diet and don't excercise I tend to lose "weight" faster (as weight on a scale) but a lot of that weight loss is from muscle mass. Just dieting makes me "skinny fat".

When I exercise (resistance training like weight lifting - cardio is uslesess) I tend to lose weight on the scale slower but I look better and my muscle mass increases. I also feel _way_ better than on a restrictive diet.
https://geolua.com

Allows anyone to create geocaching-like adventures controlled by server-side Lua scripting. Neat features are multiplayer support, some included widgets to quickly build a UI (see[1]) and a time travel debugger to fix errors. I knew there was probably no real way to make money from that, but it was fun to build. Unfortunately reception by the big geocaching portals was mostly to no allow linking to it IIRC, so there was also no way to gain any traction at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most of that's great until the power goes out. Or DNS/Cloudflare has issues. Or someone fat-fingered a router config. Or a construction crew/cargo ship breaks a major optical cable. Or an attack happens and everyone overloads the networks. Or bad people steal the databases. Or a government decides to track you.

The old world never had those problems.
High protein diets can trash a person's kidneys.

I've read that each kidney has a seven fold overcapacity for what people need. So if the kidneys are damaged something majorly bad had to have happened.

Kidneys are also involved in blood production along with bones.
Because Paramount+ has so much great content?

Yes, video streaming is pretty fragmented. But I'm willing to bet that a lot of people who complain about that also complained about the $100/month cable bundle. I probably pay half that now for more choice. (I only lose out on live TV but I could have that if I were willing to pay for it.)
I honestly don't know if it's coming regardless. I'd talk to an ophthalmologist because as usual, it depends. I'd assume that for distance stuff you could avoid any correction, but I'm not sure about that.

> I have a three month camping trip coming up and wondered about trying to get my eyes done before then.

My recovery took a few days (I had the more invasive procedure due to dry eye concerns) and I think they tell you to not do any activity where your eyes could get damaged during a few weeks just to be sure, so try to plan around that.
Guetzli was already mentioned and roughly does what you are talking about.

MozJPEG [1] includes several quantization tables that are optimized for different contexts (see the quant-table flag and source code for specific tables[2]), and the default quantization table has been optimized to outperform the recommended quantization tables in the original JPEG spec (Annex K).

It's also worth noting that MozJPEG uses Trellis quantization [3] to help improve quality without a per-image quantization table search. Basically rather than determining an optimal quantization table for the image, it minimizes rate distortion on a per-block level by tuning the quantized coefficients.

Both the SSIM and PSNR tuned quantization tables (2 and 4) provided by MozJPEG use a lower value in the first position of the quantization just like this article suggests (9 and 12 vs the libjpeg default of 16).
