Excel added lambdas recently which is nice for defining custom functions without having to expect anything special on the client side (well, other than a newer copy of Excel at the moment).

I've been vaguely following general fusion research for a while now, but was kinda surprised to see this show up in their mail feed. I certainly don't have the expertise to know more about the situation here. I'd love to know more from people actually familiar with big bang cosmology on the topic.
Interesting take. I think it definitely plays a role.

Displaylink doesn't support hidpi monitors on macOS with fractional scaling (unless they fixed it in last month or so).
For me this is a deal breaker since I have 27" 4k monitors which IMO work best at 125%-150% scaling
Time is the best cure.

Find ways to stay distracted. How you make it through these times is what will build you stronger mentally and physically. Maybe do some traveling, take up a hobby. For example, a lot of people that take up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or a martial art say it changed their life positively mentally and physically via losing a ton of weight. Me personally, I'd take this time to go off the grid a bit, go hiking, camping of some sort and clear out my mind.
Excellent! This is a wonderful function I did not know about. - I learn a lot about Emacs from Mickey Petersen, his book "Mastering Emacs" (highly recommended), and his articles on r/emacs. Thank you again for this article.
Is the trolley scenario intended as a blame-finding simulation? I thought it was more like “what (ethical) choice do you make in a difficult situation” deal.

You surely still have some agency after your brakes failed. Or at least if it happened to me I wouldn’t let go of the wheel to find out if I hit group A or B, confident in the knowledge that who or whatever I plow into it is not my fault and all choices from that point are equal.
Is that going to change anytime soon? Genuinely interested because all currencies, other than USD are depreciating.
> Pick a prominent MVC based web framework, a RDBMS, some front-end libraries and go build the thing.

It's really not that easy. At very least the framework you use needs to be well thought-out so you don't run into roadblocks later, and your application may very well lend itself to certain technologies that won't be obvious if you don't spend some time thinking things through and understanding tradeoffs.

When constructing a building you don't just choose a material, a layout, etc and get to work. There's significant effort in understanding the environment you're building in so you can inform your choices. Buildings have collapsed because the soil conditions weren't well enough understood.
Hi HN,

I would like to introduce Midtone, online photo editor that allows you to edit photos directly in browser, with support for layers and selections.

There are number of existing online photo editors, but I haven't found one that I would really like (either they are too simple, or too complex like Photoshop). So as a frontend developer and a photography enthusiast, I decided to build one myself!

The editor has a basic set of features, suitable for most common editing tasks. In the future, I would like to continue building on this foundation and introduce more features (mask layers, better selection tools, additional adjustments, etc.) and make improvements to the UX.

When Linus Tech tips did a review and tear down of the last Intel MacBook Air the design had no heat pipe and was just passively cooled. The first MacBook Air with the M1 design was equivalent but with an updated motherboard that had an M1.

The A12Z in the DTK is derived from the A12 which came out in 2018 so it probably was earlier than that.

Which is why I simply don't use my real name (well, not a full name) for my Twitter account. I have the right to keep my professional and private persona separate, and if someone really wanted to, they could find out where I work anyway. (I'm not tweeting anything extreme in my own view, but there's always someone who will regard it as such, and as you say, what's good about giving people such option to begin with).
How were they lost or rediscovered?

"Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (Latinized: Rhazes) (born 865) was one of the most versatile scientists of the Islamic Golden Age ... Many of his books were translated into Latin, and he remained one of the undisputed authorities in European medicine well into the 17th century."

"Ibn Sina, more commonly known in west as Avicenna was a Persian polymath and physician of the tenth and eleventh centuries. He was known for his scientific works, but especially his writing on medicine."

"Ibn Buṭlān, ... was an Arab physician who was active in Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age.[64] He is known as an author of the Taqwim al-Sihhah (The Maintenance of Health تقويم الصحة), in the West, best known under its Latinized translation, Tacuinum Sanitatis (sometimes Taccuinum Sanitatis)."

More than this, a lot of the scholarship in the Islamic world preserved discoveries by the Greeks:

"Galen is one of the most famous scholars and physicians of classical antiquity. Today, the original texts of some of his works, and details of his biography, are lost, and are only known to us because they were translated into Arabic"

Or did the Greeks not 'actually' discover anything, either?
I've been writing code for 40 years. That will give you and idea of my age and my experience.

You are suffering from a loss and you are heartbroken. My advice is to allow yourself to cry. Try to cry as often as possible. Doing so will help you heal. As the days go by, you will cry a little less each day. Eventually, there will be days where you don't cry and you will start to feel better. It doesn't seem like it now, but you will feel better. Hang in there.

I find that hard to believe as dentists wouldn't be the group of people I'd imagine developing those new ideas and products. How would that work?
Well yeah, there's cases where it makes sense.

I was once on a team dedicated to orchestrating machine learning models and their publishing in a prediction service. The training-to-publishing process was best kept an atomic one, and its Scala codebases separate and distinct from the Java monolith that called it, despite being the only caller and not benefiting from asynchronicity in the call, this design, implementation and operation of a very profitable part of the business was way more convenient than having tried to shove the prediction logic inside the caller.

But there are teams that will be splitting every damned endpoint of a service into their own process, that's just unnecessary overhead from whichever way you look at it; network, deployment, infrastructure, monitoring, testing, and deployment again because it bears repeating that it complicates rollouts of new features.
My view is that ethics is subjective, it boils down to how people feel. They often have various ethical systems and rules built on those feelings (or on axioms which feel right).

Unrelated question, maybe someone knows, each time I opened a JavaScriptCore or Webkit source file, i've almost never seen any comments. Is it me and my bad sampling or these codes have almost no documentation at all? That's really uncanny.
It could not be done peacefully. Any secession in the US will result in civil war. The two possible exceptions to this are Hawaii and Texas, since both have somewhat legitimate, but still legally controversial, justifications for secession.

But depending on circumstances, it could be a quick, unbalanced war. The US has the largest, most powerful military in the world, and that's only possible because of the union of all 50 states. The military has a huge interest in keeping the union together, and no group of states can hope to stand up to its might.

Active-duty service members from seceding states will not be universally for secession, but you can guarantee nearly every service member from other states will be against it. Even among those who support it, a good number will follow orders to suppress it.

In such a scenario, the only defense seceding states have is the threat of nuclear warfare. The case for Scottish independence would be similarly dangerous if Scotland were not willing to abandon their nuclear weapons. US states seceding cannot do the same because they would be immediately conquered by the nuclear states.

Speaking of, if secession did succeed, we'd be left with 2 nuclear states antagonistic to each other sharing borders. It would be India-Pakistan, but with many, many more nukes. A bad situation all around.

But again, I don't think there's a popular case for secession. It's not like e.g. the people of California hate the people of Tennessee and no longer want to be in a political union with them. There is a lot of hated between political groups, but the borders of that hatred are not state borders. Liberal voters in California hate those running and supporting the government in Tennessee (and vice-versa), but they don't hate the liberal voters in Nashville, Tennessee's capital. The split is mostly urban-rural, not state vs. state.

It creates a situation where we may hate those living only a few km away, but sympathize with the plight of our fellow American thousands of km away. And again, a lot of those people are our friends and family. We don't want to just abandon them.

> surely nobody would feel it worthwhile to fight a war over people in other states having the right to vote?

The US civil war was fought in part by those who felt those being enslaved in other states was an injustice. Modern war is much more catastrophic, but starting civil wars for the rights of our fellow citizens in other states is an American tradition. For all the reasons I hope there won't be war, this is the one thing that makes me fearful another war might start.
It's not humanly possible to talk to 100k or 10k people anyway, so what does it matter? It's not Twitter. If the hundred or ten people you want to talk to are there, that's enough, eh?
This is so interesting, I just reported someone doing this on LinkedIn to the IC3. They create fake companies and ask for details like your SSN to ostensibly run a background check on you but in actuality it's to steal your identity or use your info to gain access to restricted resources.

There's another comment providing more context; Razorpay is facing flak from some folks because it gave up transaction/donor data for a journalist's company. (Razorpay is the payment provider for the journalist's company AltNews)

The India government is actually trying their best to persecute the journalist (Mohd. Zubair) and putting pressure on Razorpay to get to AltNews/Zubair. (The govt. is trying to insinuate that the journalist is writing articles criticizing India on the behest of foreigners - by cooking up allegations that he has been receiving donations from people outside India)

I'm only arguing that it's next to impossible to stand up to the government in India; Razorpay need not be pro-government or anti Alt news, they are likely being forced to comply with the Government's (perhaps extra legal) demands via shady tactics and they need to save their own skin.
(That was the joke.)

The reason the web is not fun anymore is because it's now hypercentralized. Companies that effectively control the web found the formula that works for them. They want you to mindlessly consume streams of curated information. They want you to do that at maximum throughput. Most of your "interactions" with websites are fake and exist only to improve "engagement".

If everyone starts fiddling with colors and creative designs, it will decrease the throughput of an average information consumer. Therefore, no meaningful customization is allowed. It's that simple.
This certainly does not mean, "tolerate absurd levels of technical debt, and only ever think about performance in retrospect."

They rely on 9 trusted validators, the hacker managed to get access to the private keys of 4 out of the 9 validators.

0x80000000, the number I asked what to do about, if it's neither in the past nor in the future (along with all other numbers between it and 0xFFFFFFFF). 0x80000000 is the number they said to send to hell "or" use 64 bits to store.

But storing it in 64 bits still leaves you with the same number waiting for interpretation. (Possibly two numbers depending on sign extension settings.) So do you still need to send it to hell, or what happens differently?

You also forgot that Safari is also unavailable on non Apple devices (I think it was previously many years ago iirc) which means its market share is restricted to Apple devices. Even if Apple advertises Safari, it can only be used on those Apple devices.

I think one other thing that bears mentioning is that LinkedIn's reporting doesn't easily let you explain how someone is performing a scam. If you're diligent you can find the link somewhere where you can actually explain it but when you just "report" someone or a job the response from LinkedIn is usually "We didn't find anything indicating this is a scam" or similar.
> Which typical Air buyer needs 16gb ram, the college student with 50 tabs open and Spotify in the background?

How about a college student who contributes to large open source projects? (eg. Chromium or Firefox — I don't know if their memory footprint situation improved so these examples might not be valid today, but they definitely were back in the day). Don't underestimate college students ;)

People who complain about 8 GB being too low probably have a good reason.

I know I needed more than 8 GB because my 8 GB memory laptop always had it full (and was using swap) whenever I was using it for software development (and this laptop was already an upgrade from 4 GB).

However, I also know that I don't need more than 24 GB, because my utilization never reach anywhere close to that in practice.

The problem is more pronounced on computers with memory that cannot be upgraded.

> asking how many cylinders a car has. Doesn't matter for most people.

Where I'm at, the F10 BMW 525d used to come with a creamy smooth 6 cylinder straight six motor. Made a little over 200 hp and 460 Nm of torque.

Later, they changed the engine to a highly tuned 4 cylinder with nearly identical power and torque (still called "525d"). Infact, the 4 cyl motor has a little over 10 horses more than the 6 cyl, but it came at a higher rpm.

The driving experience was noticeably different. The 6 cylinder engine just felt effortless; in-gear acceleration (which matters during overtakes) was simply better. The 4 cyl motor felt strained.

Also, there's the other point that you'd know if you're into engines — straight 6 engines are inherently balanced and yadda yadda (=> no engine vibrations => very smooth), while other configurations need balancer shafts (which can't really be perfected), so the straight 6 engines are slightly more "clean" from an engineering perspective.

Sure, 120 km/h is 120 km/h regardless of cylinder count, but that's not the point. Environmental considerations are also a different matter.

>I think 8gb is borderline criminally low in the circumstances.

I think Apple has a far better understanding, backed by actual data, of the circumstances than you, or indeed anyone here. My wife is still using her 2015 Air and has yet to plug it into anything, let alone 4k or 5k monitors that appears to be the "end game scenario" for posters here.

If you are posting on HN, then 8GB is not enough for you. I bought a 16GB M1 Air and it was great, and the day it came out I bought a 64GB M1 Max. But 8GB is more than enough for most of Apple's customers, and I'm sure they have the data to back that up.
Which is not what I'd expect from anything that claims to be "OCR resistant". It's not at all clear what they mean by that.

This is not OCR resistant, I used the same two liner I used to get my textbooks scanned at university 20 years ago.
It's actually much easier than you think.

You don't need any scripts, just Acrobat itself (or any comparable PDF viewer) can do this. Export the PDF to images, make a new PDF out of the images, scan the text, done.

Example (took your example and did just that with it, now everything can be copied & pasted as normal text):
https://filebin.net/qse2e0oaqkl1hjof/ocred.pdf

In general, if it LOOKS like text, SOMETHING can OCR it. That's the whole point of OCR. If you want to try to block OCR, you need something like CAPTCHAs, and that's getting less and less effective every day. In fact many are already more easily solved by computers than humans.
