More likely they now face a choice between shilling for shady VPN companies while doing fun stuff in their garage or doing less fun stuff in their garage while they work a real job to support it. Easy choice, IMO.
> There's nothing keeping anyone from buying the music they like even if it's just digital.

Unfortunately this isn't true anymore. If you want to buy a song there's beatport and bandcamp but they're missing a ton of music, Amazon Music is only available in a few countries and Google Music doesn't exist anymore. That leaves just iTunes which is a terrible experience and only available on macOS and Windows.
I feel like you could get Elijah Wood to say yes to that. And it'd be awesome.
Yeah we use this for our AirBnB, print a page and put it in the guest book. Super convenient and clients like it.
There is way too much human interest to that article and way too little substance on the problems. Tl;dr - there’s no security risk unique to QR codes are that aren’t simply present on the Internet at-large.
I didn't say you were more "able" (though if you don't believe different levels of ability exist, I'm not sure what to tell you...). I said people have different available resources. If you're working a part time/minimum wage job with no car (which is just one example that covers a massive number of people), then you don't have the option to decide you don't like the policing in your neighborhood and just up and move. There are countless other scenarios that would similarly limit someone's options to simply move somewhere else if they were being harassed by the police.

My experience is limited to the US, but in most US jurisdictions, the police chief works for the local municipal government and goes through the same hiring process as any other city/town employee.

Nikon's 4k60 rolling shutter issues mean you can't realistically use them for modern videography. Nikons suffer from extreme rolling shutter because of how the sensor is sampled.
What do you need, to produce (or rather program) nfc tags...? I guess they don't have usb ports, lol.
The "or" was meant to be the distinction on who does the user testing - I've seen both in-house testing operations and outsourced ones. For small scale operations, it may actually be cheaper to run them in-house and only hire external testers... cameras are dirt cheap these days.

Hiring a market research company is usually worth it if you have a contract with them anyway (which gives you better rates on the testing) or lack someone on staff who knows how to deal with cameras.
Do you have the money (not going into debt, credit card or otherwise)? Are you genuinely enjoying the purchase? Are you sacrificing anything you want/need more (house downpayment, tuition money, grocery budget, student loan payments, 401k match, etc) to purchase said tech? Is the purchase hurting you in any way?

If yes to the first two and no to the latter two, tell your peers to suck it. If any other combination maybe you have some introspection to do, figure out what value (if any) you're actually getting out of the purchase.

Will you enjoy the gadget just as much a year from now, or is it like buying a luxury car where after a while it just becomes "a car"? The hedonic treadmill is real when it comes to things
My Tesla Model 3 _can_ remote start the air conditioner via the cellular network, but it can also work via bluetooth if I'm within maybe 20 to 30 meters of the vehicle.
It is free when the vehicle is parked at my house and has access to our wireless guest network. It can download updates just fine. This is purely a money decision by Volvo.

$300 a year is crazy. I never even turned that feature on.
Ask HN: Is product hunt a popularity contest?
And whoever has the biggest network wins?

I guess it's no surprise, but it's gotten to the point where the top products are solving the most shallow problems. Even among the apps that target me, I've seen it done before countless times just with prettier UIs.

I've been thinking about announcing my app on product hunt, but I feel like the odds are against indie devs that don't have backings from a VC or a network of high profile influencers.

Just what sort of audience am I working with on the platform when it's clear that my actual target audience isn't them? When does it make sense to announce it on product hunt?
I'd say "only people who live in their parents basements and haven't put in The Work are able to make comments like this", but then I'd look like the big dumb-dumb.

Complaining without action is equivalent to ignoring it.
Sharing the same news headline everyone's already read with your "This is bad!" caption isn't helping. We all know, we can read the words and see it's bad.

Enjoying the world in all its messiness means engaging with it - not this woke schtick of avoiding touching the entire subject because of some trigger word, then spewing generic, inactionable drivel like "did you know the world is bad?"

Yes, we know. We all know. Every single one of us. Welcome to the conversation.
Work on yourself so you're not bringing more misery and uselessness into an already-miserable world that needs help.

I remember JSF being big around the same time and working well enough (especially a4j ajax for jsf) so I think people preferred that as an interface since it was more similar to what they already knew, jsp.
> Lobbying isn't corrupt, politicians making under the table deals with corporations is the bad part, lobbying is just corporations telling politicians what kind of laws the corporation would want.

And then paying money to politicians who offer to do what the corporations want. Lobbying (at least as practiced in the US, where it is considered "free speech" for corporations to "donate" money to politicians they like) is very clearly legalized corruption - there really is no other valid way to look at it.
Are you asking them for a loan or something? "Sorry guys I don't have money to kick in for lunch today, can you spot me?" while you are wearing $500 headphones? Then yeah, you should feel bad.

Otherwise tell them to pound sand.
Open source blueprint for zero trust principles applied to autonomous vehicles
Last year, we - Capgemini, Arm, and NetFoundry - created a blueprint for building zero trust principles using open source technology into autonomous vehicles. The objective was to accelerate innovation in software and the transition to new digital business models while ensuring the highest functional safety, reliability, and security.

The main components including:
- AWS Greengrass - an open-source edge runtime and cloud service that helps you build, deploy, and manage intelligent device software.
- Arm Parsec - an open-source initiative to provide a common API to hardware security and cryptographic services in a platform-agnostic way
- OpenZiti - an open-source project focused on bringing Zero Trust networking to any use case or application while closing all inbound ports from the internet.

We hope you find this interesting and please share any comments, questions, etc.

As usual, I click the link, I try to read the page content but I have no idea what it's saying.

Buzzword buzzword, buzzword!

Just tell me what is it, and if you don't want to, that's your right, but then why are you sharing the link?

- What general category of tools is it?

- What makes it different from other/similar tools?

Don't tell me "it's fast and developr friendly". Tell me what makes it that? What makes it better than the other tools? What do these other tools lack that you are providing?
I'd never seen this. So cool!

After an image loads, you can resize your browser text (Ctrl + / Ctrl -) to instantly reveal a different image with each resize event. By sweeping through very small and very large zoom levels, you can make peoples' fingers trace out a diagonal line from top-left to bottom-right as the registered point moves with the underlying voronoi canvas as it scales up and down.

Side note: how hard would it be to reduce the time delay between identifying a point and displaying an image? Could this be made realtime by preloading all images? The flicker would be terrible but I'd want to try it at least briefly.
That is only up to you to determine. If it actually makes you happy and you can afford it, go for it. If it does not actually make you happy, you need to try to figure out what hole in your heart you are trying to fill with non essential material goods. Essentially, you need to determine if you have an addiction or not.
The risk is small if you isolate clients from everything on LAN and limit bandwidth.
I don't believe that deciding whether Uber behaved ethically or not is really a useful question (they clearly didn't) in a market where no one does. I look at alternatives. And when the alternative is a corrupt and massively inconvenient government backed cartel, then I will favor Uber. If they had acted like saints, we would be stuck with the cab cartel. I also don't consider the law as the decider of morality, or I would have to judge myself as immoral for a lot of things that aren't. And when the current law is a government cartel, I don't care when someone breaks it.

I also don't buy that Uber is any worse to its workers than the cab cartel was. And "exploit" is a nebulous term. If you want to say that Uber "exploits" its workers, you have to say how. I don't see providing a platform where drivers can choose when they want to drive as exploitative. I don't see the pricing system as exploitative, as they can quit at any time. I don't see employment systems where you are paid for the amount of work you do, rather than time spent, as exploitative.

This is the same complaint people had about, e.g., film cameras, and before that, electronically controlled shutters. Very few people are willing to live will all those sacrifices just to get better battery life from an older generation of camera. History repeats itself.

This is my biggest pet peeve with local tax increases. They always claim the money is going to whatever the public most cares about - education, etc. - but really it's just an overall budget increase, and the amount spent on education doesn't actually increase.
I'm really interested in https://hilla.dev/ these days but I doubt any company I'll work at will use it as everyone seems to be react focused. I remember the hilla devs saying they were going to work on it compiling to wasm.

The name change was to eSwatini, with a small e, but you wrote Eswatini. This is a trend I noticed in the months after the change - people started out using a small e but then gradually transitioned to a more normalized spelling. Now almost everyone writes Eswatini.

I suspect the same will happen with Türkiye. For a while people will write it with ü but then eventually it will become Turkiye, without the diaeresis.

Texas Bitcoin Miners Power Down as Heat Wave Threatens Grid with Blackouts
I really like that you mentioned working asynchronously. Truly an understated part of remote work (and even in-person work too).

The most successful remote work jobs I've worked have had a really healthy balance of async work.
Mostly because today, a Java application is either a back-end application or a dead-end project. Everything a user touches is either native or web, and you can't get proper UX if you skip steps and try to magically render a useful UI as a non-UI developer.

It used to be much more acceptable to have "any" UI, but today, if you can't make a generic bootstrap, tailwind or react based UI, you might as well stop and hand that task over to someone else.

Dojo (the JavaScript framework) and ExtJs essentially died the same death (yes, there are still UIs based on those, and the instantly feel like 2006) because of the same reasons, while being completely web-targeted; they tried to make a Swing/AWT/WinForms type of application design a "thing" for the web, which didn't really work out long-term. It was great while it lasted.
The BMW tires are about $200 more expensive then the Tesla. In 5-7 years the Tesla would be drastically less in maintenance but in years 4-5 the BMW could be less if you need to throw an extra set on the Tesla. Not sure I’d want a 550i outside of an extended warranty. However, newer BMW v8 twin turbos are a LOT more reliable than the first couple generations.
Ask HN: Could you help me find a not-so-old HN top story?
Some time in the past 60 days, I stumbled upon a top HN article which gave pieces of advice when you join a new company, which is currently my case. I thought I saved that article like hundreds before, but a few days later and after a couple hours of search in my bookmarks manager, my history and through HN Algolia search, I can't find it anymore.

I can't say much about the article for I haven't read most of it.
The title was not very explicit (no "career" keyword in it), but I know that the author mentioned "the first 100 days" in the introduction as a cliché not to follow.

Does anybody have any idea of what the article I am describing is?

I have no idea where I could ask for help except for here, so if there is any more appropriate place I'll comply.

Thank you
I assume it is done manually?
Find new peers.
This is very misleading.

Yes, last winter France imported a lot, because more than 4 reactors were shut down for maintenance due to corrosions problems that has been found.
These problem should had been found earlier, and would allowed to make the maintenance before the winter, but due to covid, inspections have been postponed.

If you look at previous years winter:
https://www.rte-france.com/eco2mix/synthese-des-donnees?type...

For example, 01/11/20 to 26/12/20 (their website allow only 8 weeks period graph) you can see that overall France exported a lot of electricity to other EU countries in the middle of the winter.
Yes, thank you for this explanation. I didn’t know that they were not fully ordained, I learned something from you today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thilashin (although one could argue whether to call them nuns or not in English. The wikipedia article still calls them “Burmese Theravada Buddhist nun” and they were called nuns in English where I practiced - I’d say their culture’s concept of “nun” does not map perfect to the Western concept, so details get lost in translation, but your explanation is fundamentally correct and very helpful. )

This definitely makes clear again my lack of deeper understanding of their culture and the hubris of me judging their culture after having been in Burma for only a month.

That being said, there definitely were signs of sexism, women did not have the same standing and we should not close our eyes to this part of Buddhism. I don’t mean “and therefore Buddhism is bad”, but “as a Buddhist I think we can and should strive to do better”.

When Buddhism supports and reinforces misogyny, racism or jingoism from the surrounding culture, this is also a failing of Buddhism.

There are many Buddhist teachers (including Jack Kornfield) who absolutely do emphasise more virtuous and emphatic living as a core teaching and result of Buddhist practice. As a simple example, metta meditation is often advertised as actually helping you be more compassionate in “real life”.
Meta launches Sphere, an AI knowledge tool based on open web content
The biggest reason IMHO is that it was yet another GUI toolkit unrelated to Swing. It might have done better if it was more Swing-ish.

This may be common knowledge, but I want to point out that Java's biggest problem was and remains distributing the runtime. And it's on this basis alone that JavaScript has won. Swing is a good toolkit - Swing is still used by Netbeans and IntelliJ, and a handful of other popular tools. Both of those tools have good round-tripping interactive form builders. It's a lot of value, but yeah, distribution is so bad you can't realistically access that value. (Compiling to native with Graal is an interesting option.)
Male lifting up his shirt, which, while not obscene, is also not SFW. Another picture had a bloody finger.

I don't know why people seem to be so incredulous/outraged at my observation. Is it that hard to believe such pictures made it into the set? Am I supposed to be supporting the team here?
I don't think so. I think it really is about guilt and shame, because these people just rebranded Catholicism without realizing it. Most of them probably grew up Catholic I bet, and internalized Catholic ideology to such a degree that they can't help but view everything through that lens.
> I spend little on experiences like vacations

I'm not going to claim this necessarily applies to you, but there's some research that suggests spending money on experiences rather than possessions tends to result in longer term happiness. See for example:

> Darknet markets exist, are not a big secret, and are largely enabled by cryptocurrencies.

Ask people if they think a market for criminals to exchange illegal goods and services provides positive value and you'll find that most don't think it does.

Just cause there's money to be made, doesn't mean value is created or otherwise robberies would be quite valuable too.
Anecdotally, we're selecting the wrong people in society to be police officers. I have seen three people from my high school who bullied me or others relentlessly (homophobia, racism, etc.) who are now in the police profession. It horrifies me.
There really aren't. You need:

- Fast to compile

- Fast to run

- Memory management that doesn't destroy frame times

- Easy to embed, ideally with a small runtime

- Can target whatever ISAs and OS's that the game runs on, like consoles.

There are not dozens of languages that fit these criteria, particularly memory management, embedding, and toolchain support for consoles when you're using a proper JIT compiler and not a bytecode interpreter.
We're not abandoning the idea, just the current project architecture.
Reading more carefully, it's saying the architecture PaaS is currently
built on is reaching the end of its days. It's natural to revise this
after 7 years. Outcomes of the next round may be a new PaaS for
government (and hopefully civil) deployments, with more flexibility
around the cloud targets to allow hybrid on-prem, colo, and mixed
cloud substrate. If anything that strengthens hybrid resilience
against mono-cultures or foreign influence.
They don't have a full-frame offering, unfortunately. So low-light performance lags behind.

[edit]: They do have medium-frame, but that's another league entirely.
Inflation is not something central bankers use to rob people of money for their own enrichment.
Well, the issue is that companies like Uber and AirBNB used the fig leaf of being a "tech company" to evade the existing regulations on their respective existing industries. Of course we should blame the politicians who let them get away with it, as well as the companies lobbying for it.

Most people overestimate how old traditional recipes are, anyway. Italians didn’t have tomatoes or potatoes before Columbus; nor did Indians, Thais or Chinese people have chile peppers… is all global cuisine just a huge cultural appropriation from the Mexicans and Peruvians?

Fresh warehouses are verrrry different than the robotic one you probably visited. I’m not surprised at all that a fresh building would have those problems.
Just because people disagree with progressive policies doesn't mean they aren't empathizing with a particular demographic. This particular framing is lazy and frustratingly common. A pretty obvious counterpoint: one can believe that raising the minimum wage drives unemployment among lower class workers while also raising the cost of living--this is an eminently empathetic viewpoint with respect to service workers, etc.

For whatever it's worth, I tend to err a bit toward the "more regulation" end of the spectrum, but I don't feel the need to believe that the world is simple and everyone who doesn't subscribe to my simplistic view is morally deficient.
That's fine for new tables, but the abstraction now leaks when adding new columns.

Now your abstraction has broken again, as existing tables with new columns added are performing poorly compared to new tables, even though from the abstraction level of the user, they _should_ be the same thing.
I shoot wildlife using a combo of DSLR and Mirrorless and I have to say, I almost always reach for my R5 (mirrorless) over my 5d mark4.

One of the things I love most is seeing exposure in real time, it's a nice little quality of life thing you don't think about until you experience it. Over the years I think anyone who takes photography seriously has gotten pretty good at gauging exposure, but to actually see it change in real time when you adjust ISO or Aperture is pretty slick.

But all of that being said, I'll hold onto my DSLRs forever too- as one person pointed out the battery life is far better and when you're out for 10 hours at a time that really matters.
There was a point a few years ago where you could not see a single piece of user-generated content above the fold on the reddit home page. A bunch of teams had jockeyed for having their little carousels and banners put on top, and of course, metrics were always cited.

I left a screenshot in slack and it ended up causing a couple of teams to have to roll back their widgets, but it always baffled me that we were able to focus so much on the individual trees of metric optimization that we would miss the forest to that extent.
I agree for JWT optics was not really an option, however moving forward many space missions will start to use optics. Last year NASA launched the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration and there are extensive plans for integrating logical links into the DSN

Salesforce recently acquired Tableau and from what I hear the acquisition has probably improved things at Tableau.

This is a very special case though! Tableau is a company with a lot of Fortune 500 buy-in, but an aging development stack and business model. So this is the case of a somewhat more dynamic larger company acquiring a set of customers and some fundamental tech.

Usually acquisitions are from big/slow/established/monopoly acquiring an upstart and it’s no surprise that usually ends up badly.
