Personal names will sometimes be translated - depending on when the person moved or decided to present as.

I know of Indian colleagues who go by an English-sounding name that is at least somewhat close to their actual name. Others have anglicized a spelling that is phonetically close.

The main difference is that you can ask them what they prefer as they’re right there.

It’s harder to ask an entire country.
Their point is untrusted code can still have private info (I don't want a random website to be able to steal my private key or my info like credit cards or password in other tabs), so you need a new core for each website, which is obviously impractical.
>do you think there is zero value to stablecoins?

So far they've failed to be stable, so I'm not sure what other aspect you would consider valuable.

Such things have failed through all of history. Adding crypto as a buzzword doesn't make them stable.
Some of the rental hardware no longer allow users to login as admin. Some of the ones that do the ISP landlords make a lot claims that leases/monthly fees go up if they think to try. There's a growing disparity between modem/router hardware owners and "this lease seemed like the best deal from the cable/phone company" average users.
The theist gets a sense of the greatness of God. The atheist concludes his own insignificance.
Measure the time it takes. Post metrics (median time, oustanding prs, how long they've been there) on a dashboard on a monitor where everyone can see. Try to get the time down using all the suggestions here.
Eggs get broken. I've been both on the giving and receiving end of that. It's part of existence and I don't think anyone is surprised by this or justifying it, it's just hilarious how shocked people are by revealations like these. I suspect most corps are just as crooked as Uber but Uber just got caught. Uber shaking up the taxi market was good, but it had bad consequences for -some- drivers, both things can exist you know? I think HN has some trouble feeling bad when people were -never- forced to drive for uber.
I don't quite get your point here. Suppose I write a compiler to compile Scheme to WASM. I would have write it so that it does proper tail calls, otherwise it wouldn't be Scheme. What's stopping me? Would the browsers not run the code? Like, yeah, it would change .stack, but who cares?

Same thing applies, I think, to any other language compiled to WASM. C/C++ compilers regularly inline huge amounts of the code when optimizations are turned on, as well as do tail-call optimization. I haven't tried, but I would assume that they do that for WASM just as they do for x86 or ARM or whatever other build target I choose. As long as my users are ok with this (and they presumably are, otherwise they wouldn't turn optimizations), what's the problem, exactly?
Yes, JS demos existed, but the usefulness of the data you can extract was limited. Making sense of the extracted data has always been the difficult part, as even if you manage to find a key and can recognise it as such, you still need to know what it's securing and also have access to do anything more.
That's not really true. For instance, interactive charts can be very useful on a blog. Diagramming is also quite useful, especially if the diagram and data it acts on are kept in the article itself - for instance, I use MermaidJS for this.

What becomes bad is when platforms (or people) think they're entitled to track you with said Javascript.
I'll chime in to give a few anecdotal accounts of people I know. A lot of them have more of a biology background, and only took CS either out of an interest in computational biology research or against their will entirely. Generally, these are smart people with pretty solid math backgrounds, so I think the biggest problem for them was the matter of expressing themselves through code. It's generally not that intro CS problems are hard, but they were running into the problem where, if the program failed, it was unclear to them _why_. Even looking at the stack trace doesn't always helps these students, either because the stack trace expressed the common issue in a technical way, or because the stack trace points them in an unhelpful direction (e.g. not directly at a line in the code that they wrote that was wrong). While it's clear to us that the first step may be to check an unfamiliar error against stack overflow or use a debugger, these are learned skills too, which are often not taught even in intro level classes. There's also the learned skill of reading documentation and knowing what builtins are available and how they are supposed to behave, which gave some students trouble when using MatLab since MatLab functions are poorly named and are implemented inconsistently, the documentation is oftentimes unclear, and it's often their first time using a vector-based language (without realizing it) which adds a new dimension to behavior.

I'll add on here that it's not like my classmates were using esoteric learning languages like Racket (god bless the poor souls at NU), they were using Python, with plenty of helpful resources online and more experienced classmates. However, Python too has its quirks and reliance on perhaps unfamiliar concepts like packages (which means a new student will also need to learn how to use pip, why they don't need to use pip for the std library, etc). It's probably because of this that things inevitably get lost in the wayside, because you need to teach so much at once and the knowledge doesn't neatly project onto a linear timeline. It really is more similar to learning a new language, but add in some bootstrapping issues, as well as the fact that if your grammar is wrong or if you misspelled something then your entire construction is unintelligible it's not often obvious why.
For what it's worth, there is currently some active work in this area [1]. It's too late for 15, but it might land in 16 (next fall).

What do folks think about these document types as a corpus for comparing tools? It's missing images and handwriting samples, but those types of documents might just be too variable to make conclusions about.

I remember Baidu's OCR giving excellent English results, but it looks like their API is deprecated now. Out of curiousity, I ran these samples through easyOCR by JaidedAI. Results at https://pastebin.com/RjzVd5Sf.
This is the reality now for many working class people in the US, and has been for some time. They end up working two part time jobs with constant scheduling conflicts, and god help you if you have childcare needs as well. It's very consciously and deliberately designed to minimize both employee costs and their bargaining power. I mean we have freaking companies demanding non compete agreements to work in fast food.

But god forbid you raise the point that perhaps we need a political shift that removes some power from corporations and restores it to labor, you get painted as socialized nazi commie scum or whatever. It's so insane and frustrating just how good a lock these businesses have on the situation (Don't even get me started on Walmart et all).

tnolet, if I get five emails from a company with 48 hours, I will set up a spam rule for them. If I really need to get that much help to get started, your UX design is likely not very good.
Yes I am. They also overbooked seven people on that flight, delayed it for hours, and then completely cancelled. There were people in wheelchairs left stranded at the airport after waiting there all day. This is just plain incompetence.
well on an ev you go through tires more quickly if you drive it in a regenerative style.
on an ice on the other hand you will less likely go through a lot of tires if you go for the smallest consumption.
the driving styles just differ enormously if you want to get the maximum range out of a car.
You can use F# with WASM. I know F# convert recursive tail calls to loops but I understand this is another case. But shouldn't F# have the same problem?
I might only half-jokingly say that these acquisitions did not ruin the company because they were already too terrible to be ruined...

I agree, not only pictures are amazing, but the idea that is actually works, just crazy.

I ment more in the context of images taken by Hubble telescope - you know, all the hype. 25 years of work, 40mln hours worked, billions spent. Pictures are better than hubbles, but not by orders of magnitude, which is what I expected. That's why underwhelming.
That's true for every medium, including paper.

FWIW I don't like medium because it is unpredictably paywalled.
The comment is absolutely correct. Small, locally owned, franchises, and family businesses do it too. Back in 2015 or 2016, I sat at a lunch with the leaders of a business advocacy organization, and they were livid that Obama raised the statutory minimum salary to $45k or whatever it was, and how they could no longer pay an immigrant “manager” to work 80+ hour weeks for $31k.

The kicker? They were children of immigrants that did the same, except their parents were lucky to have immigrated back when buying a business/land was much cheaper. Land prices are now far higher for the newer immigrants to ever be able to save enough to get in on the ownership side of the business.
The graph shows that there's isn't nearly as much hourly fluctuation as people seem to think. Even in the summer peak and trough electricity demand difference is only about a a third. Most of the time the difference is about 1/5th. People speak about demand fluctuation as though there's hardly any electricity usage at night. The reality is that solar and wind's intermittency is a big problem that cannot be solved by overproduction.

Nuclear does not require energy storage, its power output can be modulated by more aggressively cooling the reactor. Plants don't do this because they want to operate at 100% capacity as much as they can, it's not that nuclear plants can't modulate power output as is commonly stated.

Most workstations run below 10% most of the time. I doubt you will even notice.

Where would one expect the worst noticable impact? Number-crunching does not need that many syscalls, so no. Database maybe? It needs syscalls, but is it still CPU-bound? Networking applications?

Employees Are Accepting Lower Pay in Order to Work Remotely
Eliminating claimed threats is not a right, it is just aggression and cannot be justified. Many countries get on with existence despite sharing borders with enemies. The fact that Russia is unable to do this speaks a lot about the failures of its leaders.
A small cog in a huge bureaucratic machine.
Thank you so much!!! I really wanted to see the difference side by side and this was an even better presentation. Really cool!
From the article: "There are some critical functions in the airport which are still significantly under resourced, in particular ground handlers, who are contracted by airlines to provide check-in staff, load and unload bags and turnaround aircraft."

Sample of one, but this is the first result I got:

A baggage handler job in Heathrow earns £11/hour for a contracted temporary hourly job that involves probably shifts, working through half the weekends, a long commute and dealing with abusive passengers.

https://www.totaljobs.com/job/baggage-handler/buzz-recruitme...

Perhaps different roles are affected, but I suspect Dublin and Heathrow have staff shortages for similar reasons.
EVFs can be better than the Fujifilm you have and especially Nikon is (currently giving theirs better signal than other makes.

I cannot agree more about low light photography.

The problem with EVF design common to all current mirrorless is the autofocus needs more exposure to work in low light. This refutes just one of the OP's marketing claims which I disagree with Thom Hogan isn't the under sold story because of poor marketing (Nikon is selling their flagship to, to quote Thom *[sic] "users who buy my 1200 pages guidebook to use their "automatically everything" wonder and don't even know how to download and open the PDF" my view is that the Japanese manufacturers are being sensitive to over promising during this extremely painful transition. Having a six figures toolkit (not atypical sports pro investment just buy a couple of super telephotos and the accompanying bits) made obsolete and second class over night naturally offends American and most western sensibilities.

Edit: spelling of EVF first line; can be instead of are first sentence; about not able para2; under sold story for story told para3
Consumer goods prices swinging low relative to inputs, profit ratios falling, or price and quantity moving in ways to suggest weaker demand, should all be determinable with some degree of confidence.

That requires richer data than strictly following sales volumes, of course.

But the basic principle is still one of supply and demand, and following both shifts. The ability of retailers to adjust prices in near-real-time to demand shifts changes the behaviour somewhat. It doesn't demolish the concept of market function.
No, but that's irrelevant. It's illegal for an American to host a home server with EU visitors for the same reason it's illegal for them to use AWS or Google Analytics. A GDPR-compliant website can't embed Google Analytics or Google Fonts or a US-hosted image because then the host could log those IP addresses and the host could be subject to a US warrant. Likewise, a GDPR-compliant site can't be operated or hosted by an American because then the operator/host could be logging visitor IP addresses and be subject to a warrant and be compelled to give the government the evidence.
I’ve been hesitating to publicize my project because there’s always something more I can add, or a bug to fix. I think things like: If I do a “Show HN” post, will I get too many users at the same time? Is there a better way to quietly get the first few customers and fix the issues that they uncover?

I’m reading “The Mom Test” now to learn how to talk to potential users.

Here’s what I’m working on: https://headlamptest.com
It's shocking to me how many people don't really seem to mind so long as their victim is faceless and nameless and I think that's one of the reasons the blockchain is so compelling for this sort of scam. Ripping off an actual person is much harder than ripping off some dumbass on some computer somewhere in the world that you never have to see or hear or think about once you've secured the bag.
I would never write something so ambiguous.
How could they when places like FOSDEM are full of people carrying Apple laptops.
While it won't be true for all and can often be configured, many keyless entry systems nowadays lock the doors once key leaves vicinity of the car whether you remember to lock the doors or not.
This is perfect! Without this context it's hard to appreciate how much better Webb is!
Oh, that makes sense. I was wondering about the odd shapes.
Eh, it's been pretty tested. Any person can easily apply filters and verify the change in image properties and see how filters behave.
> If I do a “Show HN” post, will I get too many users at the same time?

In my experience, what's far more likely is that you won't get any users and you'll feel disheartened.

Just look in https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew to see how many "Show HN"s have no votes and no comments.
So the premiums are not too different between US and Germany. The two advantages I see with Germany is the premiums are proportional to income and likely costs of procedures and medications are better negotiated by the government. Do you have to deal with copay (a small amount you pay per procedure)?

If you are curious about US insurance plans, here is California website for estimating insurance costs. Basically the costs scale with income, number of individuals and their age and their desired level of coverage.

Your concern with burgeoning standards reinforcing the browser duopoly is well-founded, but unfortunately you're sticking your stake in on the wrong side of the dragon here.

It sounds like you're confused about how Wasm works, and you imagine that it's like a normal assembly language, with calls and returns implemented by the compiler using instructions that push and pop a stack in memory. You're probably right that that's how it should have been designed.

But that is not how Wasm works. The stack is not in Wasm's "linear memory". (This makes it much easier to compile access to local variables efficiently.) Calls, returns, and in a sense exceptions in Wasm are provided by the virtual machine at a fundamental level in a way that makes it impossible for a compiler targeting Wasm to implement tail calls, call/cc, or cooperative multithreading, except by compiling your entire program into a single function, which ruins the performance of existing Wasm implementations.

But, as Scheme has demonstrated, once the virtual machine supports tail calls, a compiler can implement exceptions and cooperative multithreading by way of compiling to continuation-passing style. So this is not the beginning of a long series of extensions; it's Lambda the Ultimate Goto.
It seems likely that if no mitigations were made available, actual attacks would eventually surface. That aside, other attack vectors are currently still much easier to target. The interesting thing about side-channel attacks, compared to other attack vectors, is that they can’t be addressed without impacting performance.
There's also the LaTeX qrcode package, bundled with distributions like TeX Live. Minimal working example reduced from my own template:

You might enjoy participating in an interoperable standardization process sometime.
Depends on the point of view regarding OS APIs.
Arguing that things that have never worked before will continue to not work, barring obvious violations of the laws of physics, has a pretty poor history.

I'm not a physicist, so I've only recently learned about redshift. Hubble's deep field images were very dark red/orange because further objects appear redder (into infrared) before they disappear to the observer. Webb's sensors are more red/infrared-sensitive than Hubble's, so along with extremely fine, super-cooled optics using exotic materials to align and capture every single photon, its red sensitivity allows Webb to peer deeper, further, and dimmer than we've ever been able to before.

And I've read that the "spikes" coming off the brighter stars are generally from stars in our own galaxy and they're not lens flares. They're caused by the edges of the telescope. Hubble's stars would have 4 spikes in a cross; Webb has 6 in a snowflake because of the shape of Webb's mirrors having 6 sides. Or something like that.
I remember my first "real" job was at a company in a niche market who had a couple competitors.

We were told often by sales and the executives that they were often told that despite our product being more expensive they bought our equipment because:

"When we call your tech support guys you answer, and your support team seems to actually care about fixing the problem in a way that it doesn't happen again."

That tech support team would stay together as a team through a couple acquisitions (and being acquired) for nearly 20 years (of my time at least) supporting new products and so on, until finally as always happens with tech support they were eventually devalued by the company enough that one final sale of the company happened and everyone was laid off.

Years later I met up with some of the product engineers (who survived the last acquisition) told me "We still talk about how that team did it the right way. The team we have now is three times as big and handles fewer tickets and is horrible at their job."

I always thought that team should have been sold as a group to someone who cared but really nobody values good tech support teams ... not for long.

Now I work at a small software shop where we just keep picking up customers based on word of mouth ... because someone told them "these guys can deliver and care".
What you're seeing is not lens flares but diffraction spikes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

You could call those lens flares I guess, but commonly known as diffraction spikes when it comes to telescopes. In this case they appear because of the supporting struts in the James Webb telescope.
Does >1% of all power used feel unreasonably high? I know people complain about Bitcoin power consumption, but I had no idea mining consumed power anyone on this sort of scale. Though, the Texas Blockchain Association may have an interest in overestimating the percentage of power ceded.
