Show HN: Quick Cursor – One hand mode for Android. New edge actions feature
Hi everyone!

I've released the new edge actions feature for Quick Cursor today. Preview:https://i.imgur.com/XYjaZzY.mp4

The app has a free version without ads, which is limited in terms of configurations and features, but can be tested to see if it helps you use your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcurso...

The pro version is an IAP (In-app purchase) and offers a lot more customizations on features and looks. The app is made for power users that want many customizations.

Any feedback is welcomed!

Thanks!

I mean, I wasn't trying to define notability; the question asked was "why does Wikipedia have notability requirements" — i.e. what stops them from just getting rid of the concept altogether, and keeping everything — and the answer to that is to look at the marginal OpEx of keeping a page around.
I understand the nature of gang tags but I also understand that gang tags are the minority of graffiti art

Also stating again: intent does not matter
It would have said something extraordinary about the kinds of ppl they hired for front end development!
First, obviously I agree that crime can be influenced by social media trends.

Second, I'm sorry for sounding dismissive of something that most likely directly affected you. I'm trying to argue that I believe your larger point is wrong. I'm contributing to your additive that goes farther than "Facebook causes burglaries."

You're blaming the people equally or more than the organizations. You're saying that children's behavior has changed thus allowing more people to be manipulated in this way, where I'm saying the tools organizations now have to cause harm is a more important callout than pontificating about self-respect/reliance. If TikTok was, for example, invented in the 70's, and your theory of a shift in self-reliance is correct, it's incredibly likely the same thing would have happened anyway regardless of how much self-respect children had back then in comparison.

That being said, I think talking about a shift in self-respect is in interesting conversation, albeit crotchety. I will say that I believe every generation feels this way about younger generations. It's also incredibly easy to have self-respect driven by pride which is it's own problem.

Edit: You were saying someone else was being dismissive, my fault.
Cartels and predatory monopolies can exist in a free market. It’s not as simple as conjuring up companies with billions of operational supply chain investments into thin air.

As Tesla likes to point out, they are one of 2 car companies formed in the last century.
The market largely agrees with you. With the stock remaining flat over the last month (including today).
> Super tight labor market is what will create the self-fulfiling cycle of prices up => higher wages => prices up. I think the Fed is trying to create unemployment, so that it breaks the ability to demand higher wages, and stops the cycle.

This is the current view of most people I talk to but I’m skeptical that rising wages is the cause here given what prices we are seeing rise the fastest. If rising wages were the cause, I’d expect to see a different mix than what we are seeing. For example, costs of groceries are rising faster than going out to eat even though eating out requires lots of labor. There are lots of these examples, but to me the prices that are rising don’t seem to line up with past examples of wage fueled inflation. It seems supply is still an important issue and a lot of the supply constrained resources are going to be difficult to suppress demand for.

I’m worried about this narrative that inflation goes into some unstoppable cycle and the only way to stop it is to intentionally cause a recession. If rising wages isn’t the main cause it will take a lot of damage to successfully curb inflation, but people will justify the suffering as necessary to prevent a greater evil.

I don’t think there is great evidence that inflation leads to some unstoppable cycle. The only historical examples of hyperinflation are ones that were caused by deep underlying issues in a country’s economic viability or cases where a country owed an extraordinary amount of debt in a currency they did not control. Yet somehow it seems many are under the impression that we are doomed to the same fate despite sharing none of those same characteristics. This believe will be used to justify killing labor power, which means the burden is on the lower rungs of society yet again. A shame, especially since we haven’t seen strong labor power in quite a long time and were just starting to.
Not to comment on the rest of the comment, but apparently the Economist is not right leaning? Do you have a source for that? https://www.allsides.com/news-source/economist

One of the reasons we have school uniforms is to help police identify kids. That's why they're all weird colours with insignia etc.

We have facial recognition stations too.

:(
I hope more and more such laws will be passed in the EU. We need stronger privacy protection against big tech corporations.
Ask HN: Which Mathematics books for ML?
I’m looking for IRL/hand-on mathematics books from beginner level to the most recent or advanced maths concepts in ML, basically some links or books that cover all the mathematics for ML including multi modal ML, CLIP, transformers, etc.

I like Oxford Mathematics introductions academic style but not exclusively.
A substantial number of those 52 senators oppose free school meals not because they're "too expensive" but because the policy itself (the government giving free food to children) is something they object to on ideological grounds. A much smaller subset of that group also oppose the government giving free stuff to industry, but in either case the cost is not what they're concerned about.
> I don't like burglars, but a death penalty without trial is a bit much. And what about accidents and misunderstandings?

I'm tired of this trope, repeated several times in this, that is used to excuse people breaking into houses.

Anyone breaking into a house while people are in it are not burglars, they're attackers.

It's perfectly okay to defend your family with lethal force.

Criminals breaking into the car in the driveway? No point in lethal force. Collect from the insurance.

Criminals breaking into the house your kids are sleeping in? No amount of insurance is going to replace them, so it is stupid to wait and see if the criminals will direct lethal force towards your kids before defending yourself.

I repeat, it is stupid to rely on the goodwill of attackers in your home to not harm your children!.

Stop trivialising attacks by calling it theft.
Because you have to start shrinking when you acknowledge this.

It’s a form of loss avoidance, I think. That or trading the known for starting something new.
Enough trauma and lose and eventually you stop feeling much of anything. It's weird when something happens that Intellectually you understand that should or once did make you sad, happy, etc; but you feel nothing at all.
X11 is already client server and you’ll be adding more client/server. The more layers, the more latency.

Over the course of 2 years from 2004 to 2006 the fed raised interest rates by 425bp which ultimately popped the housing bubble. In less than a year the Fed will have increased rates by 325bp in your scenario, and there's no indication by the Fed that they're going to slow down that much, and currently no indication that inflation will hit their 2% target rate. And they're more concerned with core CPI running around 6% than the price of food and energy, so oil coming off its highs doesn't actually mean that much to policy (and you can't even see the last commodities boom when oil went to $100/bbl in the core-CPI readings from that time -- the rise in oil prices didn't cause the core CPI increase, so falling oil prices won't reverse it). And I think the markets are underestimating how much they'll hike rates to close out the year. If core CPI remains elevated even as oil comes off its highs then they could at least do 3 more 50bp hikes to close out the year.
Why software development estimates are frequently off
I appreciate the "just the current day" angle, but would gently remind about timezones. A 24-hour rotation isn't super friendly towards people who are online at the edges of that window. You might consider keeping a viewable archive of yesterday, just so one always has time to go back and see comments/replies.
You should also check out recent wireless options like T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet, which reportedly works quite well, and it makes a lot more sense (in my opinion) from an infrastructure standpoint than urban Starlink, unless you just absolutely require an internet connection that can continue working during a city-wide internet disruption. It's also like half the price of Starlink, with no upfront cost at all, IIRC. I've also seen people online get speeds upwards of 700Mbps, which is higher than I've seen anyone report on Starlink, but it is apparently highly variable from location to location based on your local cell network infrastructure.

I think Verizon and AT&T also offer 5G Home Internet options, but T-Mobile's offering seems to be the best from what I've seen online.

(Keep in mind that all of these services provide a specialized box that acts as a cell modem and router, and it should offer much stronger and better connectivity to the carrier's network than a mobile phone.)

Agreed, this gets super fuzzy at some point, most quibbles with the list will probably have some merit.
What's worse, your pet can die while you're blind and you attack it without realising who it is. Thankfully this will only happen once in the game. You learn the lesson afterwards. Hopefully.
IRC, not in the classic essence of connecting to chat servers, but browser-based options exist. It would be really cool if someone made a tool like Twitter spaces, but for one-on one conversations with random people... e.g. A voice-only chat tool that paired you with random people within different fields for conversations.
Lots of people back home would keep their dogs in the yard all the time. The dogs wouldn't really ever socialize with the neighbours' dogs (maybe that's the issue?) For a lot of these dogs, if they ever got loose, they'd go and bite someone as soon as possible. This is true even/especially for the dogs of the rich, who have very easy lives.

But with Canadians, I'm never scared of their dogs, because at worst they'll hump me!
Or, perhaps feel that state governments are better suited to those kinds of assistance programs.
I moved to London and fast forward a couple of years, I'm in this crappy job & full time studying. It was distance learning,so we only had to go to uni once a month. So I'm sitting in a room with 20+ students. The tutor reads some text written by a student and asks what advice would you give them. We were all sitting in a circle. One guy, in front of me says: just give up! I start laughing. He starts laughing.. we both keep amplifying each other. The entire audience look at us as we are crazy. Fast forward a few months and he offered me a job and then another once he left the company. I eventually became a CTO, because someone at some point believed in me.
Who are the wealthy in your view? Anyone making more than N amount? Or worth more than M amount? And what's that amount?

Think about this:

You are a professional working overseas. A company pay to you in dollars, 1000/5000/whatever.you gets an exchange at Ar$ 137 per dollar today , you moves to the next box in the bank to exchange that to dollars again. The cashier tells to you that you can only buy usd 200 with pesos, at ar$ 137 per dollar, with 65% tax over that, so near ar$ 226 per dollar. You wants more, ok, you are not allowed to buy those 200 dollars at official price, you goes to the free market, legal, to change your pesos for dollars at 336 each one.

You ends asking please to pay you in an foreign bank to not loose the dollars.
And why we want to save in dollars, because the inflation, that maybe this year is 80% with luck.

And I'm lucky, because if I'm exporting soy beans they are paying me 33% less in the first step.

And I'm not starting to talk about taxes.

Forget, we are the bug in the system.

Edit: and you are ok, because you works on IT, but around you, your friends.., they will never buy a house, they are surviving. it is sad as hell.
That seems far more useful for judging the authorship of unattested writings than for judging (say) whether some subject robbed the bank.

But Just In Case - I am innocent, the butler did it, and my heart condition would make the get-away sprint seen in the security camera footage physically impossible for me.
People in leadership positions don't necessarily need to be domain experts to be good leaders. The problem with Congress is money, not a lack of domain expertise. A leader with the right incentives, without domain expertise, knows how to ask questions to the right people.

Your congressperson doesn't know what a database is because they don't care, not because they're dumb.
Sure, but from a "high level" or "sockets" perspective, especially as a beginner it shouldn't be something you need to care about. A bit simplified, the basic stuff you need to know is:

1) UDP uses packages/messages which may or may not reach its destination. If it reaches its destination the data is intact. Normally connectionless.

2) TCP is a stream protocol. There is no package/message boundary unless you create it yourself (my tip is to do a simple binary TLV (type length value) protocol using say a fixed 4 byte header). Requires a connection to be setup first.

3) Network byte order - really important to read about.

4) Nagles algorithm (TCP_NODELAY) and SO_KEEPALIVE - those are a couple of things to read about.

5) Start with the simple select() approach to handle the socket activity.

You can then go ahead and get more advanced by doing nonblocking I/O or do blocking I/O with each client in its own thread, figuring out pros and cons for your use case. You can add SSL/TLS on top of your TCP connection etc.

EDIT: The SO_KEEPALIVE part is perhaps least important thing to start reading about. I'm a bit biased due to NAT traversal problems as I wrote a secure remote access solution for a major company several years back, utilising STUN/TURN servers, public key authentication (basically certificate pinning), TLS etc.
I'm not too fond of hierarchy in note-taking because the hierarchy isn't fixed. Dendron use `python.data.bool` and `java.data.bool` as an example, but sometimes I only think in the reversed way: `bool.data.python`.

Hierarchies are good, but we should dynamically generate them from content, not hardcode them as filenames.
Not paying taxes is the opposite of stealing IMO. It is the taxing that is theft.
No way. If it were so, they would not have to pay such high taxes when they export grains ("retenciones a las exportaciones").
I don't know if that is helpful but logarithms are quite an easy concept that helps with thinking about code complexity.

It's an inverse of exponent which translates to " grows very slowly with input size. 10 for a thousand, 20 for a million etc.". It helps to quickly ballpark feasability the same way exponential complexity usually means "doesn't scale above 30"

Log(n) is a

- number of digits required to write a number

- depth of a balanced tree of size n

- running time of any algorithm working on input of size n which does fixed cost operation to cut input in half (e.g binary search). If your code has cost function f(n) = 1 + f(n/2) then it has logarithmic performance.
Let the stock buybacks begin!!
From a less cynical point of view, they have basically bet the farm on "Metaverse." They can no longer buy out competitors (the FTC will block them), and they need a new monopoly to keep printing money. If they can make even a moderate success out of the metaverse project, they can get out of the hole. If they can make a massive success of the project, they will easily be the new Apple. However, I'm not sure that a recession is the time for a mega-cap company to start spending a lot on a new uncertain project.
I’m only interested in the hard facts - the provisions in the bill, and not in horseshit PR statements from politicians.
We went with Jetpack Compose for 2 of our greenfield Android apps and are quite happy with it. There are obviously some hiccups, but our teams have been very productive with it. The Google Android DevRel team was pretty active at the DroidCon Berlin and they’re actively promoting Compose.

Jetpack Compose is the UI framework du jour for Android and I hope it sticks around.
I guess inflation isn’t a concern after all.
But the thing is, a year ago, Twitch actually did a good job suggesting people with only six viewers. *Now* for some reason, they're pushing people in hot tubs who already have thousands of viewers. That's what I'm complaining about.
Had a hunter with a blue crab named Seafood in World of Warcraft for years.

He was somewhat famous on the server at the time. Eventually got rid of him because he had no benefits compared to other pets. No logical reason to keep him.

Huge regret. I grieved for that damn crab for months. Finally stopped playing that class all together.
It's painful, but I have pruned my subscription list of people who upload often but I rarely watch. At this point my YouTube subscription list is channels where I open the video more than 50% of the time.

I don't know if that's "fair" or not, but it's how I keep the subscription page useful.
This is now fixed. Thanks for the pointer.
I understand why they do this, but I hope this is not strictly enforced against accounts with good history/reputation who request access.
Actually it's pretty smart to reward the inventive ones and punish the freeloaders, or else there'd be a rush to become a freeloader and stop the hard work of inventing - leading to species-wide collapse.
Unlikely, because many states then cut those assistance programs when given the opportunity. It's more likely that the 'state' argument is a way to achieve their ideological ends (cutting the program.)

That said, this bill is a very positive development. Investing in local manufacturing and R&D is a great idea, and it will help the economy. Hopefully it will efficient and money will not be captured by rent-seekers or cronyism.
We support strategic defense industries [1] in the U.S. so I don't understand how offshoring chip making was ever allowed to happen

That's interesting. The algorithmic feed, even though I'm not a fan, shows me stuff that I'm actually genuinely interested in, and I'm not generally interested in the pop culture so it's not that, it really is targeted and successful.

Having said that, I used to love Instagram much more when it was a photo, forget reels, not even regular video/IGTV, platform.
> And they're more concerned with core CPI running around 6% than the price of food and energy, so oil coming off its highs doesn't actually mean that much to policy

Energy, as well as being a CPI component itself, is a key production input and has outsize effects on prices across the board (though that effect is smoothed compared to immediate energy costs); if energy costs have peaked (and not just seeing a downward fluctuation over the last month or so), then that itself is going to be a huge brake on core inflation.
Copying is a great source of innovation and industrial development. Take German engineering ('Made in Germany' was a label originally intended to make the German copycats more visible in England, from where the processes were copied, but that sort of backfired in hindsight), the Swiss watch and pharma industries (based on French patents that were practically unenforceable in Switzerland at the time)...

Once you have a process up and running, it's almost human instinct to try and improve it. If you start by copying the latest stuff, chances are you'll find a few new tweaks.
Explain it to someone else.
He may end up kicking himself in a different way. ;)

In any case, it will be interesting to see how the Metaverse thing will eventually perish.
Thanks! I think reread this subthread about five times before it clicked that "overestimate" was truly the word OP intended to use and there was a valid point being made via that word.

Totally changes the meaning of the comment if one assumes that it was a typo and OP intended to use "underestimate".
Nobody changes it because they know they are going to need it when they are the minority. Someone is gonna have to take one for the team and pull the plug on it, but I have little faith in our government ever doing the “principled” thing.
Opposite anecdote: car was broken into to steal the stereo (yes its been a while ;)). The door lock was damaged and wouldn't close any longer.

A day later the car was broken into again. While the lock was still broken and no stereo in the car. Someone smashed in the side window and left the door ajar too. Nothing got stolenthat time around.
Cartoons. I start every day with at least a half-hour, preferably an hour, of something silly that makes me laugh.

Maybe I watch while on an elliptical, or maybe curled up with blankets, but starting my day everyday with something nice for myself helps me get to sleep on time and not immediately drown in anxiety on waking.
This is basically just an appeal to big numbers. "500,000 pounds? That's a lot! ICE cars must certainly be less polluting. I mean, just look at the numbers: you have to dig up FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS of Earth's crust! FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND! That's HALF A MILLION!"

Proper comparisons look at both sides.
At least it won't happen again because the markets are forever shut down or have strict international monitoring.

If the goal is to increase available supply, this might work. If the goal is to increase domestic production, I don't see how it would help.
