Free humans own weapons or at minimum aren’t barred from doing so, and can legally defend themselves from legitimate threats when civil authorities are unable or unwilling to intervene in the moment.

Culture is a different thing to discuss, sure, and glorifying violence is bad - which is what some of those videos do, though not all of them.

Still, we see countries like the Czech Republic where firearms may be carried concealed, nearly anywhere, with licensing on a shall-issue basis: there are relatively reasonable conditions not far from US-based shall-issue permit requirements (for the US states still even requiring a permit), as well, and CZ doesn’t seem to have issues.

Education about gun safety, and just general personal responsibility, used to be a thing in the US but the “education system” here fails us these days.
thats it?
Norwegian has the diphthongs "ei" and "øy", while Danish has "ej" and "øj". Though I don't know whether you can rely on that when looking at proper names (surnames, place names).

There's a number of reasons I can think of. Ease of use is one; with video you have to consider different video formats for different browsers, unless that one's been solved already.

But another one I'm less happy with is removing choice from the user. I hate auto-playing videos so I have that turned off, but this does not apply to gifs. And I don't mind auto-playing videos either if they take the place of reaction gifs.
I still have an Acer Aspire One (522) that I use for VAG diagnostics, as a laptop is too cumbersome to have inside a car whilst plugged in.

This little Netbook served me well for light work, travelling and light gaming surprisingly.

Never a bad memory of it, and upgrading aspects of it was fun to try and squeeze more out of it.

> despite their initial interest in another kind of science

Physics isn't a specific kind of science. Everything is physics, except math (which physicists are proficient in, too). Studying physics provides a broad understanding of everything and use of methods, but not much practical application like engineeering fields do.

A physicists is used to analyze everything from the beginning, and the mind is not limited to solutions pre-defined for specific problems of the past. Compared to engineers this is an advantage when working on problems for which no standard solution exists (analyzing new data, new technologies).
Elasticsearch is used not only for full-text search. It's widely used for analytics (aggregations) and filtering too, e.g. when you do log analytics.

Comparing Elasticsearch / Manticore with MySQL may be not the fairest thing since they are too different, but comparing them one with another and using not only full-text queries seems fine to me.
their pledge is "Pixel 6 and later Pixel phones will get [updates] for at least 5 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US." where [update] is security and may include features, (and I guess even feature removals) etc.

My 5 year old phone is still at 84% battery capacity. I set a charge limit to 80% unless I'm planning to be away from a charger for some time and set it to go to low battery mode at 40%, which discourages me from draining it too low. I wasn't even this careful for the first couple of years that I owned it, and I use the fast charge mode.
Valve even supplies (sorta buggy) Windows drivers for the Steam Deck: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3131696... - a major selling point of the Deck is that it's just a handheld PC that happens to come pre-installed with a Linux distro designed for handheld PCs. And AFAIK all of its hardware is supported upstream, so other distros should just work by plugging in a flash drive and booting into them.
Honestly I don't know how using the phrase 'mother sauces' is gatekeeping, I think it's just really basic cooking. Might not know the term, but an app trying to teach you to cook should absolutely be teaching it to you. A big part of learning a new skill is learning the vocabulary to navigate that skill. It's weird to shy away from it.
The generic Kalman filter is also relatively old and slow to adapt.

Explicit noise regularized (or variance regularized at least) filters do better especially in case the signal is corrupted by non-gaussian noise where Kalman filter can get divergent.
Who mods this totally reasonable request down?

Go back to Reddit, jagoff.
You can change the battery in most phones (there are plenty instructions on youtube how to open the case or do it with some service center), that's much cheaper than buying new phone.

On chinese marketplaces there are batteries for almost any phone, might be in your local marketplaces as well, depending on location.

The core problem is security updates.

Strong disagree on "technical debt"

Rather, the entire world is built on it and there's some level of acceptance required, but we definitely need a shorthand phrase for "we're doing something stupid that will save us time now and make us hate ourselves a year from now"

Edit: thinking on it, also "devops". It's really job title for "sysadmin but paid and owned by the software department to keep ITs fingers out of everyone's shit" but with a flashy name that sounds important so mgmt will agree to it. It's meaningless to us but it's a hyper-important industry term that saves us all a lot of suffering. It also must necessarily remain vague such that mgmt won't understand it and know to deny the posting. It's sorta like how snapchat used an obfuscated UI to keep parents out.
I've seen this happen but without that "without reading" part. I've had a coworker, who about a 1-2 weeks after starting working in erlang (without prior exposure) on our big codebase was already able to contribute some fixes and soon new functionality and he was not even considered as senior dev when hired. Most of my coworkers are experienced and also able to work on new codebase pretty soon if required. They are not that rare.
Study finds people underestimate how engaging thinking is
One question: why not web app? I don't see anything that needs to be enclosed into proprietary Apple/Google ecosystem.
The mid 2000s were really a time of change and tech commodification.
From a german perspective, it started with the first "1000€ Laptop". The first new decently sized, decently specced Laptop selling for a price of less than 1000€.

Later came the Netbooks. That put portable general purpose computers for the first time into the hands of students who had trouble affording a "real" Laptop. You could immediately see the change in the university library and computer pools.

After my "regular" Laptop broke I was in a bit of bind financially, but was glad to be able to afford a Samsung NC10. And I must say I really liked it. I cold take it everywhere. It was powerful enough for text processing, powerpointing, webbrowsing and older games.
Keyboard and screen where ok, but coming from a resolution of 1400x1050 on my old Laptop I especially mised vertical screen real estate.
It's called a short-sighted decision.
Sinister used to mean left handed. "A shambles" used to mean a slaughterhouse. Sanction used to mean allow, now it means not allow. It is fine for words to change meaning, even to their own opposite. Natural language has done that forever.

Edit: you're all right, sanction has both meanings.
Yeah, this is ridiculous. Notice how all the models on the page have big to giant hands?

One of my earliest smartphones was 4.2". That was already problematic for my hand. 5" is too large, 5.9" is out of question. I don't want a tablet for a phone. I want a phone that I can use with just one hand and still reach all corners of the screen comfortably with my thumb from a firm grip (i.e. not from the side, but with the bottom right corner firmly tucked in the palm of my hand, if that makes sense). And my hands are not even small.
It's a trade-off.
Not quite the same, but dead branches in code are quite common in my experience and being able to indent off them is pretty useful.
Unrelated: I want physical keys on my phone, and ideally Android. I have used a BlackBerry Key2 for the last few years, but it could break and it is discontinued I think. Is there any alternative?
> Sanction used to mean allow, now it means not allow.

It still means both, at least as a verb.
I used to work at a computer store at the time; mostly doing tech stuff but also sales sometimes when it was busy. We sold a lot of Netbooks, both running Windows and Linux.

"This model runs Windows" was a real selling point for many customers. You have to realize that many people just don't give a flying hoot about their computers, they just want something to access a few websites and such, and Windows is what they were familiar with.

We sold a lot more Windows EEE machines than Linux ones, in spite of being quite a bit more expensive.

Was there also pressure from Microsoft? I don't know; I wouldn't be surprised. But there certainly was a real consumer demand as well.

But "this" is a comment on HN!

Not sure you can downvote yourself though. Myself I don't have any downvotes so I can't help you.
I'd say it definitely is cooking 101. They're the basis for a tremendous number of recipes over the last hundred years. Americans being ignorant isn't really an argument.
I think the disconnect between me and you here is that you're looking at the the "user" ("programmer" in your comment) in our hypotheticals as a person who is going to implement the class. In my mind, they are the person who is using the class. They will not be implementing unimplemented function signatures. In my mind, in my comments, they are library users. I'm thinking of someone who is using std::vector and using std::vector::pop_back instead of trying to access the underlying container, grabbing the value, deleting the value, and setting the private variables to match the new state.

> Otherwise, what's the difference between my two examples that makes the second one better than the first one (other than that the first one doesn't compile)? The only difference is that the function has been added to a list inside the class and got a slightly different name.

The second one is not better than the first one. I would say it's a completely pointless approach to a problem, and would be better served by just making number public. Leaving an empty zero function signature around so someone can come by and fill it in to do what they want serves absolutely no useful purpose at all here. If zeroing out the number property of class A is useful for A, then it should be an already implemented function.

That being said, the example given, in my eyes, is not useful. What is "number"? Why is it private? What does "A" do? What are it's expected states? What are it's failure conditions? If A cannot enter an invalid state by changing number, there is no reason for it to be private.

As I previously said, private exists to prevent objects from entering invalid states from external influence. If A#number has no invalid state, then it need not be private.
Right, and "debt" is a beautiful word here. It accurately describes receiving the value today, but then owing that time back, with interest, in the future.
No, why? Just because something has 'global' in the name, doesn't mean everywhere will have the same temperature.
It is sugar. A lot. Around here finding food without 10% sugar is really hard.
Ask HN: How do you celebrate your birthday?

Not every one, and maybe not even majority, of our actions can be "engaging" and "motivated". When you finish the school and start working, don't expect that all work will be engaging or that someone exists in the company to motivate you. Probably nobody is engaged while doing grocery shopping or running errands. Deep work? It is _not_ fun, trust me, but often very rewarding _in the end_.
Providing value now for a user or customer which will need to be refactored later (iff the project continues) is not short sighted.

That’s basically how public stock exchanges work except normally in much smaller quantities than typical round. What’s not bs then?
Oh man, I wish most of this would go away.

RE: Agile
'We have to find a new way to discuss the idea that maybe we focus on the working software and not on the organisational bureaucracy, and that way does not involve the word…'

Which is rather hilarious, because the only people I ever hear use the word agile are the beaurocrats.

RE: DevOps, I still don't know what it actually means. When I first heard the term, it was used to tell us that us developers need to do our own operations. And we did. Cool.

Then it turned into 'developers need to work with the operations people.' Wait what is this just a mantra or something?

Now it's just a fancy word for 'sysadmin', apparently?

I'd probably add 'microservice' or even 'service' to the list. It's become extremely apparent that very few people have any idea what they're doing or trying to express in that realm.
So true. I'm borrowing this!
> to comment you have to click through a very scary permissions dialog that claims it can "Act on your behalf" in your Github account, without any qualification. I'm pretty sure the permissions dialog is misleading, but it sucks. I expect that it really cuts down on the number of people willing to leave a comment.

Since it’s powered by GitHub discussions, and the discussion itself needs to be public, anyone wanting to comment but not wanting to authorise Giscus to act on their behalf could go to the discussion on GitHub and leave the comment there directly I assume
Ok so ignoring something exists solves the problem? C’mon. Try harder.
It took me a long, long time to get used to having an expensive device on me that is bulky, fragile, not waterproof (includes iPhones after you drop it once), requires daily charging, and not durable in general (due to battery or sabotage by update). Jewelry is more expensive but has none of these issues.

They are certainly very useful, but I don’t think the current standard is the best compromise.
A childhood friend used to compose “Frank Zappa”-like music using some obscure MIDI composing software on windows.
I used to watch him randomly spread out thousands of notes on the note sheet, press play and it would just sound bizarre and random, I didn’t get it. I was 13 and the year was 1999.
Lots of thought we have is grown and more like a self discovery along your own path.

Generic concepts, which have been thought of by plenty of others are easier to grasp.

Like I thought about things until my sister gave me the word for it: nihilist.

Understanding nihilim is still different than coming to the conclusion of nihilism.

But plenty of other people draw their lines somewhere else. They don't follow philosophy because it's just not important for them.

Or they made their peace long ago.

Your example with creativity doesn't fit my world of nihilism at all (I wouldn't down vote it).

So we are not aligned at all. And you / we are probably not aligned with lots of others on spiritual concepts.

Im thinking about something similar to creativity: we are now so many people with fast interconnection in between us (internet, video) and the general though of something new that it's just a logical consequences that we need to explore all boundaries around us.

I also have plenty of counter examples which did not gave a reward for being creative from 'the universe's.

Being an artist is not easy.

Your thshirt example is also more realted to capitalism. The original motivation is getting money for food.

Those systems / constructs are not made by the universe they are made by us. Those are our constructs.

We reward creativity due to the desire for new stimula.

This goes more into machine learning or game theory: how to train a network to create an image? By creating a counter network checking if something is not an image.
>In someways China is ultra-capitalistic. They will sell what people want.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Pornography, anything deemed prurient by the government, anything deemed corrosive to social values, even trivial things like the depiction of zombies and ghosts in media, is strictly controlled by the communist government of China without respect for corporate profits.
> servers trigger CPU throttling at much lower temperatures of 35C-37C (95F – 98.6F). Normal data center operating temperatures tend to be between 20F-25C

> App Store/Google Play/Windows Store/macOS Store are not and never have been curated for software the user can trust, only things that do not harm the perceived interests of their owners. They are not trusted sources.

Amen. The proliferation of knock-off apps, shovelware and spyware was not the future we wanted but it's exactly the one we built for ourselves. If you explore this conflict of interest between users, OEMs and developers, you start to reconsider your enthusiasm for the whole cloud computing era.
Sadly agree here. Maybe we can find a shibboleth. Or is there one and I don't know it!? Oh no!
The phone is great, but the form factor is terrible. The phone is slippery, hard to pick up and hard to hold in hand. It's such a "looks over function" failure on Apple's part. No wonder that, with iPhone 13, they eventually went back to the old design (with right angles instead of all the slippery roundiness). No we have to wait another 5 years till that form factor trickles down to the SE line.

I am afraid this is hyperbole - the US military's post WWII record of destroying the enemy is second to none - entire countries have been shattered by force of US arms. There was never a situation where the US Army wasn't going to win a fight, at any scale.

Why US strategic aims were not fulfilled have more to do with the nature of those aims and erroneous axioms that drive it. People do not like being conquered and will resist occupation until the occupiers leave.
You know that airconditioning is already a thing in hot places, do you?

There's also other lower-tech means for dealing with temporary extreme temperatures.

We'd expect all of these to show up as a drop in GDP, wouldn't we? Eg you can clearly see the wars in Syria or Ukraine show up in their GDP figures.

Please correct the Wikipedia article I linked to, if you have better impact-of-climate-change on GDP forecasts than what's currently on there.

Awesome answer, we just installed Manticore on our dev env, we where using Meili and somehow didn't find manticore during our research.

Love that channel and the message that with a small amount of effort and skill you can make excellent dishes 1000% better (and probably healthier) than the pre-packaged version. You don't need the most expensive cuts, or a home made demi-glace, just solid fundamentals with common ingredients.
May be we should try 1990's style waterfall dev shop. Play Radiohead and Pearl Jam in the office. Everyone wears shorts + tennis shoes with super long white socks. Monthly powerpoint updates on how things are going, PM gets to have some fun with sharpie markers to tick off checkboxes next to each feature that was planned. Dedicated QA department, and they have the coolest arcade machine, it is the Street Fighter machine from 1 Arcade! Ritchie, one of the frontend devs, was able to hack it so it also accepts Doge coin. Morale is high. Project is over by October, 2 months early, and everyone hires a VW bus to go on a road trip. Customers are delighted and next year starts with another waterfall project.

So I thought humans aren't supposed to be able to distinguish above ~30 fps. I've always been a little skeptical of that because faster framerates seem subjectively smoother to me, but I was willing to write that off to psychological bias or sync/timing artifacts between interfaces or whatever.

Maybe someone out there can clear this up for me and convince me why we need 120+ fps displays?

EDIT: Well, nevermind, a quick google search corrected my misconception about 30fps.
