Sorry that sucks. I'm intimately aware of addiction and how it can sadly smash families and people from all backgrounds and economic situations, so I'm empathetic to that problem.

And I'm for sure not disadvantaged myself.

I didn't know where to comment a reply this seemed most relevant.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is a lot of the threads here, to me, read as elitist & missing the full picture.

E.g. for instance missing the value of entertainment.

even on an unkind view of looking at players only as addicts, like lots of drugs (legal and not), that dopamine hit is fun...

to be clear I'm not trying to put that negative frame into all the people's intention here, just trying to explain how I read a chunk of the comments

It's not only some uneducated non-optimal financial ROI calculation made by disadvantaged people, or compulsive gamblers, who are being taken advantage of by state sponsored casinos imho
It's crypto. It's not like the assets are sitting in traditional accounts that can be force liquidated by court order.

SEC? Lol. If these guys have run off (reading the article it doesn't seem like it), the lenders are screwed. A fraction of $10 billion can buy you a lot of protection especially in crypto safe havens like El Salvador--most of which happen to be hotspots for organized crime.
Re this website itself: Love seeing LiveJournal code base still in use.
If I lived in a high-crime area, and I thought that giving police access to a camera in front of my home made me safer, I would probably do so.
Can’t speak for the rest of the world, but in South Africa the Uber drivers I spoke to have very few, if any, other opportunities.
Fwiw, at a hackathon at my company, some of my coworkers _did_ build a stack overflow clone in a weekend (and they did a very impressive job of it). But yes, it lacks polish, and is now largely unused.
For now. DSLR sales have been declining since 2012. It's just a matter of time--it's not like Nikon still manufactures film SLRs, for example.
Isn't that any goal of an organization? Everything ladders up to the success of the company. Especially if you're a corporation where you have fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders.

AB testing is beyond UI. It could be AB testing algorithms for recommendations or search results. When i worked for a CPG company, we would AB test the sample sizes in the boxes. To answer the question what is right amount of product for a sample. We would test shipping to speed, was it worth the upgrade to expedited shipping in terms of LTV to justify the extra cost.
I only have so many CPUs, and I visit more websites than that.
Interestingly enough, I can't send the appspot link in FB messenger, it thinks its spam and blocks the message.

Linux claimed it was not practical. Is this attack actually practical? Are 200-3kb/s sufficient for a realistic attack?
There is a lot more: timing belt replacement, water pump replacement, oil change, oil filter, radiator, spark plugs, drive belts, ...
Said like someone who's never lost everything or dealt with an insurance company. You don't spend the time to catalog every little item in the pictures until you need to submit a claim, at which point you'll be glad you can add every single tiny item to the list before they pay out the depreciated value of your belongings. If all you list is your furniture and big ticket items, I guarantee you're getting screwed over. Most people have no idea how long (and how much money) it takes to recover from a total loss.

pretty sure we've all been in school, and while it's not a great experience, you can work with it

i'm pretty sure amazon's optimizing the work more so that my shitty thing gets delivered at all, rather than 0.002 seconds faster. which is very valueable to me, as it happens
Blog: How to Upgrade DietPi to “Bullseye”
Debian 11 (aka Debian Bullseye) has been released on August 14, 2021.
This description gives the how to upgrade a system to Debian Bullseye and why you should do it.

slighty OT, but it is a travesty that Quizlet (previously Slader) has gone behind a paywall. Slader had a lot of community generated solutions to textbook problems. Users gave them the content for free, and they monetized it, kept only verified answered and dumped the (unverified) solutions and feedback.
A lot of what used to be in Windows Update is now in the Store updater.

Many of the developer complaints about the Store have been the times Microsoft has even hinted at trying to use their clout to move every install/update to the Store. You can find all sorts of yelling and arguments here on HN and elsewhere about Microsoft's various S Edition and S Mode projects over the years all the way back to Windows 8.

Talk about moving to one package manager to rule them all on Windows pushed Valve to return to work on Steam OS and moving to Linux for their freedoms. Talk about moving to one package manager sparked Epic creating the Epic Game Store to bulwark their sales freedoms.

Developers seem to love the freedom to build a million terrible auto-updaters no matter what their users actually want and go crazy every time Microsoft even mentions the idea of a user-friendly single package manager edition/version/mode of Windows.
I have a qr code on my wall, with the guest wifi password written below the code and an nfc tag sticked on the back. I think so far most people just typed it
> Reference types maybe. But I've yet to see a convincing argument as to why they are absolutely necessary.

Are you referring to WASM GC here (or managed memory in general)?

If so, I think the main compelling reason is interop. Without GC in underlying architecture, any managed language targeting WASM must include its own runtime and GC. If you then want to write a polyglot program using multiple languages, you now have a single WASM executable containing multiple garbage collectors each managing their own objects. If you end up with cycles between those different managed heaps, you can end up in a situation where the GCs are unable to reclaim memory because they don't understand cross GC cycles.

This is why Chrome did Oilpan [1]: so that they could more easily handle cycles between the DOM, JS heap, and (aspirationally at the time) Dart VM heap.

A more general user-value proposition argument is that putting the GC in the WASM implementation means any improvements made to it are amortized across all managed languages that target WASM. Also, it makes applications written in managed languages and compiled to WASM smaller because they don't have to ship a runtime and GC with the app.

Analysis paralysis is evidence of somebody either completely missing the point or people who wish to think they are smarter than they can actually perform (Dunning-Kruger). Either way it is a performance failure, and failing to perform against a baseline, even if flawed, is not an indication of smart.
Ramana Maharshi got cancer. When the doctor operated to remove the tumor anesthetic was refused. Ramana watched the operation without evident discomfort. He said after that he experienced the sensations of the operation but did not suffer.
Wow. That's genius
I don't think one necessarily follows from the other.
>>so why bother hating them?

Perhaps because "the ends justify the means" is not a sound code of morality. Lying, cheating, stealing, exploiting, lawbreaking, hiding rapes & assaults, and more are rarely justified for any ends, perhaps only fighting literal authoritarianism.

These immoral behaviors are certainly not justified to merely open a stagnant market because you want to exploit the workers even more than the entrenched entities (e.g., at least in the old system there was a path to earn a medallion worth 6-7 $figures and get a retirement, w/uber, it's only 'what are your stats last week') and steal some of the gains for yourself.

And now, after over a decade of lying, cheating, stealing, exploiting, lawbreaking, hiding rapes & assaults, and squandering $billions of investor funds, they still aren't profitable, and are shedding drivers & customers as they attempt to raise prices to anything sustainable.

We were promised flying cars and all we get is a new form of exploitation, except now driven by a smartphone app? If they put all that funds and effort into an actual honest non-exploitative effort for a flying car...
Yeah my mortgage company sent me a letter saying to opt out of affiliate marketing Emails or snail mail I have to send them a letter requesting it. This was 4 months after they bought my mortgage so the most the letter woulda done is stop them after selling my info for 4 months.
A friend of mine made more than $10 million in crypto essentially knowing full well that it was a Ponzi. He simply believed that he could get in and get out quick enough to find a bagholder and he was right.
It happens in all sorts of other domains too - the tendency to believe that things, by default, are the way they are for good and just reasons is strong in most people.

For example, that’s why there are still ashtrays in new airplanes by default.
I think people can have healthy cognitive dissonance that says, "Uber showed how much unfair power companies are willing to build and exploit" as well as, "I don't think anyone could've taken on the taxi mafia without doing similar things."

To me, those statements don't eschew accountability, it just acknowledges sometimes we send companies/people to the gallows that did both good and bad things. Gallows here being a metaphor, I doubt the political elite that were recruited to Uber (and other companies) will be held accountable or mentioned any more than in passing in the press. That said, I do expect to see policy changes and regulations in the future regarding mixing lobbying, recruiting highly connected staffers, etc

To be clear, I don't think there's some conspiratorial undercurrent of former Uber engineers here acting in coordinated fashion to cover up the story of what they're affiliated with on a place as relatively small as HN. For as popular as this forum is with nerds, the only thing we're really reknown for is the contrarian nature of the forum and how that contrarian nature sometimes (most of the time?) picks big winners. HN doesn't decide the future of hacker culture, it's just a voice in observing and dissecting it.
To be clear, I deleted that comment because it was inaccurate. GLSL has break, continue, and return, which are flow-control statements. It excludes goto, and my explanation for why it excludes goto is probably incorrect (but I don't have time today to rabbit-hole on why goto was excluded or why the SIMD architecture can support break and continue just fine while excluding goto).

> In case of sequential machines, I don't consider removal of features that makes programs unnecessarily long "making the machine even more low-level", that's just "making the machine dumber"

You may be interested to consider how incredibly complex the modern x86 architecture is to implement because it supports sequential program execution as a core invariant principle. As a result, modern computers (which strive to be faster than a PDP-11) have to do a massive amount of work to parallelize that sequential code because parallel execution is the only frontier of fast computation that remains. They literally rewrite the opcodes on the fly into something that can be SIMD'd and do branch prediction, where code is run speculatively just to discard the result. All to support the idea that deterministic flow control should be possible in 2022. It's a brilliant fantasy the chipset manufacturers have constructed for us so we don't have to reframe our thinking.

I think I get what you're saying, but in modern times calling jump "low level" (or, for that matter, calling branching in general low level) is a very "Do you think that's air your breathing?" kind of position. I'm not aware of anyone seriously considering approaching the challenge of all this implementation complexity by throwing out fundamental assumptions of our PDP-descendant instruction sets and saying "Here's a new machine code, it's designed for parallel execution, the first assumption you must throw away is the order in which any of these instructions are executed."

But I suspect we're getting very close to that day.
Sure a QR code is cool, but it's pointless for getting laptops onto a network and for the most part isn't that the main usecase for needing to get onto someone's 3rd party wifi (eg at an office, airBnB, etc?).

My phone has existing connectivity most of the time and it's rare that I need to connect it to wifi. Or that wifi would be preferable over my own 5G (or LTE) data connection.

Not hating, this is neat, but it seems low value. Certainly printing _only_ a QR code feels sub-optmial as it doesn't cover the laptop usecase.
It is now more relevant than ever. AGPL backends fix the proprietary API problem.
Yeah, I read an article a while back that was complaining that the new mirrorless cameras were claiming to be saving space and weight by being smaller and allowing better lens designs closer to the sensor. But they weren't. In actual fact, the lenses were bigger in a way that more than makes up for the smaller lighter camera body.

What they didn't point out is that those bigger heavier lenses are bigger and heavier because they are more recent, and the camera sensors are so detailed that the cameras need fantastically sharp lenses, which means that they are bigger. Also, people's expectations of the quality of lenses has increased. So, they could make some small light lenses, but then someone would pixel peep and complain about how blurry they are, when in actual fact they would be just as sharp as the old DSLR lenses, but the cameras are more able to reveal their shortcomings.
Really anticipating these technologies. Also encouraging people to hop to https://spritelyproject.org/ to get an exciting overview.
Wow, thanks for this link. The level of communication around JWST's technology and launch has been amazing, and this is a great example of that.
But that argument portrays Uber as a godsend for such people. It sounds like without Uber, they might go hungry.

you could have easily purchased new sandpaper, rented the movie on netflix or bought new games.

The cost is keeping unused stuff around is higher than acquiring it again were you to need it again.

And why do you even have a passport if you don't travel?
The deed of your house? Why would you keep a piece of paper you could so easily lose, especially since it's on the land registry anyway?
//It's not like the assets are sitting in traditional accounts that can be force liquidated by court order.

Yes they can unless they want to go to jail.
2 random languages from an English perspective.

> This is pretty subjective and not exactly a language feature, but one interesting thing to me about Greek is that the different words for love provide a lot more nuance and a depth of meaning. Greek songs about all kinds of relationships express passion in a way that I don't really feel in English songs.

> Georgian has many interesting language feature, but one fact that's interesting to me is that each one of the 33 letters are always pronounced the same regardless of the context. There's no tricky situations like in English where you have 2 words such as pour and sour and pronounce similar letter combinations differently just because. If you can read Georgian, you can pronounce any word, no matter how long and complex it is. The tricky part is that the letters themselves represent some consonant combinations that are nigh' impossible for native English speakers to pronounce.

By the way, despite some of the tricky gotchas and inconsistencies of English, just like PHP, for whatever reason it seems to work and is widely used.
Ah, that makes perfect sense. I guess I should have RTFM rather than just gawk at the pictures. Thanks for the ELI5!
IR receiver in the key fob? Requiring you to stand in front of the car to sync.
The fee is a percentage of the contract size, so higher leverage allows for bigger orders is higher fees.
A mass spec of a galaxy 13.1 Bn years ago is pretty amazing and informs new answers to the biggest questions of the universe.

None of these images really stretch the legs of the instrument either. A hot jupiter is not an interesting exoplanet. It's a taste.
THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME. So happy to be alive with this happening!

It seems more like the fear of missing out. I don't feel terrified at all.
My bad, I misunderstood your comment. FWIW I agree on both counts, but I'm also saying is that podcasts are falling to centralisation pressures that plagued video since the very beginning.
Huh. TIL. I am very much a video-not-film shooter and photography is a weird art I do not understand, so thank you for setting me straight!
If all the actors are bad, it is reasonable to assume that there is something wrong with the market. And if that is the case, it should be straight forward for the government to step in, either with new or changed regulation, or—even more straight forward—public alternatives.

So asking if Uber behaved ethically is indeed a useful question (even more so if the answer is obvious) because if they did, and if their behavior is indeed common in the industry, it provides a pretty solid justification for the government to jump in and improve things, where the free market isn’t.
On difference is dividends stock buybacks, and physical assets.

Companies can support higher valuations buy owning more stuff, if their market cap is lower than the stuff they own, then they’re clearly underpriced.

If a company starts paying out higher dividends due to higher profits, then their stock is worth more because otherwise the dividend repayment would trend towards zero (i.e. dividend payment per share ends up larger than the share price)

If a company is doing stock buybacks, then they’re using their profits to prop up the price of their shares.

But in all of these scenarios, the companies are producing profits, which are directly or indirectly used to pay for the increase is share value. Shitcoin on the other hand are zero sum, they produce no new value from their existence, they just store value and move it around a little bit.
I didn't know that link, thank you. I went 2 months back and sniped visited links for each day, no luck.
That's quite exhaustive, but it makes me wonder why isn't anything done to correct for that. Like for example instead of taking one 15h exposure, why not take three 5h exposures and roll the telescope 5 degrees in between, then median filter out the artefacts?
It’s just your monitor doesn’t support infrared color space and therefore shows the wrong colors. ;)
I would. In fact, I learned to program because a misconfigured web server once spit out its source code and I was able to learn from it.
> Ultimately, I don't think 5MB blobs are all that bad for web applications that need the enormous complexity these libraries provide.

The cases where this makes sense are probably internal enterprise applications or advanced tools.

For everyone else, there is this: https://whatdoesmysitecost.com/#gniCost (or at least it was a curious reference, before the pricing figures seemed to kind of break in other tabs; though this might as well be considered, not just site load times, or battery life implications)
Playing on unofficial Ragnarok Online servers was fun as hell back in the early 2000s. Modded economies so you didn't have to spend months grinding, modded spawn and drop rates, custom monsters and items. Crazy unstable servers that could crash at any time. 4chan level of discourse. Admins who were barely older than the players themselves. Great times!
Why not pick a certain size and put it as an example?
Reminds me of the bug in PHP where they used a call to toUpper without specifying locale to enable their case insensitivity and if your locale was Turkey, you couldn’t call any library calls with an i in them if you typed them in lowercase because, e.g., call to phpinfo() would get case-folded into PHPİNFO().
The person seen photoshopping very briefly talked about how he picks different colours for different region/light-frequency. But yes, more details will definitely be helpful. Also I guess they could open-source the untouched photos for other artists and photoshop experts to play around?
This is a broken window fallacy.
I am not doing astronomy but Photoshop is useful to analyze any kind of image. You can manipulate contrast, apply all sorts of filters, map a color palette, etc... All that using a user-friendly interface. It is very mature software used by millions of people, for general purpose image work, no custom tool will come close.

I guess that scientists will also use specialized software for fine analysis, but it doesn't make Photoshop useless.
Disagree. UK socialists last century when the country was still a manufacturing powerhouse were clear about the concept of a nation state with nationalized health, energy, travel etc, union membership and fair taxation for A FINITE NUMBER OF CITIZENS.

Fraternal relationships with similar nation states (all singing the nationale together) was arguably one of the reasons for the creation of the common market (which of course mushroomed over time into the huge undemocratic bureaucratic monster it now is).

Naturally those benefits (literally in some cases) were very attractive to people like Mo Farah's family from afar decades ago and the UK and Europe were empathetic to allowing some immigration.

The tragedy of the commons is epitomized by globalization, the vast offshore empire that now controls the planet. The globalists want compliant, overpopulated workforces with no negotiating skills in all countries and thus encouraging borderless society. The result is mediocre wages, large amounts of trafficking of in some cases literally slave labour and few opportunities for what used to be termed the working classes.

These are huge global problems that are currently spinning out of control due to the globalists also controlling the central banks which have enabled finacialization of everything and now ferocious inflation
