At a previous job, I was the engineering manager for a new neo-bank and was on call 24/7 for it. I have a beefy Lenovo P52 that I hated carrying around and leaving in my car lest it get stolen. So I got a GPD Pocket. It fit very well into my back pocket.

Not only did it work great for emergency situations (I ran Ubuntu MATE as well) when I needed to SSH into machines, check stuff on Datadog, edit code to make a quick fix, push code to our K8S environments and more, but I actually found myself frequently at coffee shops and bars coding away happily on it. It brought a certain amount of freedom and cool factor with it. It was a delightful little device with a very sharp and crisp screen, a surprisingly useful keyboard that combined well with my i3 environment, that I could actually be productive on (save for running our test suite which took around 30 minutes and sucked the life out of the battery). It also got a lot of onlookers asking questions about it, leading to those ever so fun random conversations that can lead to night long friendships over wine and coffee.

I genuinely miss it and will probably pick up another one now that I just got hired as a CTO for another project with equally demanding on-call schedules and uptime requirements. Although I don't drink anymore so none of those fun conversations. Ce la vie.
Having different spheres of society, including some where we can interact without having to hash out our differences in values is necessary for a pluralistic society to exist in a peaceful way. America, in particular, was not created to be a homogenous place where we share values. It was created by a bunch of different religious fundamentalist groups who mostly wanted to be left alone. Indeed, these value-neutral interactions are often a great way to reduce conflict between different groups.

You're never going to win. You're not going to achieve final and total victory over white southerners. Even if you did, then you'll have to battle conservative Latinos, Asians, Muslims, etc. Look over at Muslims in France to see what happens you try to have diversity without a pluralistic social structure that allows groups to leave each other alone over value differences.
From Wikipedia[0]:

Under President Arafat, the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority adopted the 2003 Amended Basic Law, which stipulates Islam as the sole official religion in Palestine and the principles of Islamic sharia as a principal source of legislation. The draft Constitution contains the same provisions. The draft Constitution was formulated by a Constitutional Committee, established by Arafat in 1999 and endorsed by the PLO.

The irony is that you put more effort into coining those pejoratives than the UX designers put into their UIs.
On the other hand, commerce creates mutual dependency and reduces the willingness of participants to view their political enemies as completely evil, increasing the chances at political compromise and reducing the effectiveness of dehumanization propaganda from either side.

Political beliefs that are prejudiced are usually just people who haven't thought very deeply about the issue and find the emotional aspect of the political cause appealing. Dependency on members of politically opposed groups fosters empathy.
Confronting the aggressor, Israel, is the best way to resolve the conflict of Palestine and the neighboring countries.

I’ll be honest, I liked the XP "Fisher Price" look even more.

Yes it was hype to mock its colorful style, but it’s forgetting that every UI control was refined, consistent, with enough relief and contrast but still sober enough to not steal the app identity.

It was flashy for sure but for me it was a breadth of oxygen after decades of grey. Icons were very discoverable, Control Panel was just the OG control panel but sorted into categories.

It was a beautiful OS for the present, not an UI coming from a futuristic movie like everything today where animations and great looking empty space are more important than usability.
> Yeah I'm 34...and feeling like I'm literally in my prime.

You are. Most people don't realize that until they're in their 40s.
they are fantastic and in fact are carrying on a Mets tradition.

i grew up listening to Mets hall of fame quality radio announcers like Bob Murphy, Gary Thorne, Gary Cohen call the Mets games (mid-80s when the Mets were still broadcast by an AM country music station - i believe 1050 - before they moved to 660).

to say they breathed life into baseball would be an understatement. you were at the ballpark, inside the player's and manager's heads.

NY baseball fans are extremely fortunate - you don't necessarily know it until you hear other teams (some of which are of course also awesome, but not all are).
Do you mean multiplicative? Or linear? Why would it be exponential?
> Our desire to be in tribes feels natural.

People need to realize the consequences of this because it is the go-to tool for manipulating people. Creating division is creating tribes that people can belong to (and, by extension, another tribe they can blame for their problems). Racism, sexism, immigrants, homophobia and transphobia are obvious examples.

But there's a way more pervasive version of this: the myth of the middle class. The middle class is propaganda to create division between the completely made up middle class and the completely made up lower class.

> Workplace preferences see co-partisan workers paid more and promoted faster, despite at times being less qualified.

In tech we call this "culture fit" and it's pervasive and real.

Is this adjusted for socioeconomic conditions?
Changing out to your preferred switches with the sound and pressure you want is pretty easy with mechanical keyboards.

I'm actually not advocating for a solution, because I don't know of one. My point was only that OPs statement of "ENS domains are memorable" is only true for early adopters. Later adopters won't have that luxury. The same thing played out with the .com domain, which is why so many companies use non-.com domains these days, because it is not straightforward to get a memorable domain in .com.
Sure, but lets keep clear what you're saying:

"Despite the existence of working preferences, so called modern-designers spend their days changing things for potentially no reason -- but even if there is a good reason -- they're also breaking backward compatibility."

In other words, let's not pretend how design-fashion is executed is always good or even neutral in operation in terms of helping people.
From my reading, a child would be fortunate to only suffer stunted growth. One reason for higher/longer survival rates in adults is the greater volume of the skull tolerating more pressure from the worms and reaction they cause. In children, the inner-cranial pressure is more deadly.

I've never encountered any references to rednecks and baylis, but I've met some that, in hindsight, might clarify and reinforce your note.

> I would be more drawn to messaging on "different", but mostly because I wouldn't trust a company to be an impartial judge on what is "better"…

Per the cited article, it's not about whether the product is better. According to the research (which seems vague to me), conservatives supposedly prefer products that signal that they personally are "better" or "superior".

"In our research, conservatives tended to differentiate themselves through products that show that they are better than others — for example, by choosing products from high-status luxury brands." https://hbr.org/2018/06/how-liberals-and-conservatives-shop-...
Both networks require large amounts of capital. Different sides of same dialectics that are important to those who influence large amounts of capital. A better comparison would be independent news sources of individuals against large corporate media.
I make an effort to use a debugger first.

Right now I'm writing some stuff which takes over the terminal and works in recursive loops (ncurses roguelike map generator) so print debugging is a hassle. It's actually quicker to use a debugger.

I find that attaching gdb and running "bt" and "info locals" or inspecting variables with "p" is much cleaner than printing, and helps me visualise what the code is doing much better.

This use of a debugger for "little things" is immensely helpful for when I need to use a debugger at work to solve "big things", which are usually remotely and after-the-fact with a core file, so printing isn't even an option there.
I've had a few similar recently just "confirming" my purchase of some random product but using pretty much identical to real PayPal design. Occasionally with clearly bogus foo.bar@gmail or similar reply-to address though at this point given decent account security on PayPal (password manager for password, 2fa, etc) mean I just assume that such emails are bogus until proven otherwise.

At the same time though I keep coming across companies that insist on using designs that trigger my "this is phishing" alarm bells because for whatever reason they insist on using links to the company that they contracted billing to instead of, you know, the company I did business with.

It seems especially prevalent among, of all groups that should know better, medical companies[1]. So say I had a visit with The Awesome Doctor Company, I'll get emails that for "privacy" reasons saying "You have a balance due at wedopayments.com", or "billing-awesomedoctorco.com", etc the latter being one of the most common things phishing emails do (I think I've actually got billing-paypal.com or similar at least once).

[edit:
[1] Ah ha, found the actual site, so remember I got an email saying "you have a balance due", that included no other details to peryourhealth.com. Which was for the company "East Bay Anesthesiology" (which I also didn't know of/about, but Sutter Health just silently outsourced that part of operation to them, didn't tell me, and then had them bill me directly and separately??!??!!? God I hate the US healthcare system)]

EFTPOS started in the 1980s as a full-electronic network when Visa/MC transactions still used a manual imprinter and paper slips with carbon copies. Visa/MC have also gone full electronic since then, so EFTPOS has kind of served its purpose.
I enjoyed my university learning of SML a lot less than I think I should have done. Coming back to it later I was really impressed.

Before university I'd programmed (primarily in BASIC) for many years, so imperative programming just made sense to me. Functional programming seemed alien and the amazing type system of ML-like languages just seemed to get in my way.

What I was missing was the context to understand why it was good. And, to be honest, some compelling examples - we almost completely glossed over IO and system interfaces and the gyrations required to do things like efficient iteration just seemed a bit pointless.

It was good computer science but I found it to be very unsatisfying engineering as I couldn't see how to build something useful. This may be my fault for not doing an engineering degree ;-)

Once I understood more of how these systems are built at lower levels I was much better equipped to be impressed by how much of that was hidden from view!
I mean, if the conclusion is "you shouldn't assume that JavaScript code is free of memory safety problems", that's absolutely true. JavaScript is a memory safe language, but the VM that executes it, and the native code that it binds to, can have bugs that punch a hole in the theoretical model.

But your takeaway shouldn't be "memory safety isn't valuable because memory-safe languages can have bugs". Empirically, programs written in memory-safe languages have far fewer memory safety problems than programs written in non-memory-safe ones do.
That's what I did. Never felt the need for a built in modem, especially considering they are notoriously difficult to get working in Ubuntu.

It's a term meant for transistor manufacturers which refers to the gate length, the defining feature of the field effect transistor. It affords multiple advantages additional to more transistors per mm^2 which is merely a design choice, such as power usage.

The most important questions to me are:

1. Are the transfers irreversible?

Why? Because one big problem with our current system is the fraud (and mistrust) that results from ACH/checks being sent under the impression they are guaranteed funds, but being reversed by the sender or because they didn't actually clear, days (up to weeks) later. This is a big source of scams. People are out lots of money because of this, and continuing every day that this doesn't get resolved. Not saying that we can protect everyone from everything, but this is a no-brainer. Are the transactions final (unless there is legal action and both parties are identified)?

2. Is it a "push" only system?

Push, obviously meaning that only the account owner can initiate a transaction to transfer funds out of the account. I figure it must be, if things are instantaneous and irreversible (but that is to be confirmed). I don't want any more of our current system where someone knowing my bank account numbers can accidentally or purposefully withdraw money from my account and it's up to me to detect and ask for that to be fixed. This is ridiculous that we still have a system that allows that.

------

Of course, this new system means that people will need to be educated/trained on some of the dangers that may not be apparent when a system changes. Like, if someone gets duped into sending money, it is now irreversible. Or if fraud is committed somehow, there is no recovering from it. It probably (hopefully) will have to come with new types of account protection given these facts. Some problems will now be prevented, but new problems may be caused. An updated diligence on the part of users (and the system) will also be needed.

I think it's a welcome and overdue development though.
I also grew up listening to those guys. In fact I actually still prefer the radio broadcast (as you know it's now on WCBS 880). Gary, Keith, and Ron get most of the much-deserved praise on the TV side, but truly Howie Rose and Wayne Randazzo are at the top of their craft on the radio side.

If the USG prevents you from contracting the services of publishing platforms, I think that would be a proper 1st Amendment issue.

The 'T' in TDD stands for design. :) The name of it has always hurt the concept I think.

In my experience TDD uptake and understanding suffers because a lot of developers are in a context of using an existing framework, and that framework sort of fights against the TDD concepts sometimes. Getting around that with things like dependency injections, reversals etc then gets into the weeds and all sorts of 'Why am I doing this' pain.

Put another way, a lot of commercial development isn't the nice green-field coding katas freedom, it's spelunking through 'Why did ActiveRecord give me that?' or 'Why isn't the DOM refreshing now?'. Any friction then gets interpreted as something wrong about TDD and the flow gets stopped.
Ah sure, that's a broader claim and I think is less obviously true.

In general, I think a lot of existential crises are caused by having some psychological need not met, and so making sure psychological needs are met seems like a reasonable approach for preventing/addressing them.

Another part of this claim that's not super obvious to me is how/why _helping_ people specifically is important, as opposed other ways you can have people in your life.

I've read a ton of clever, whimsical (usually highly critical) reviews. The reviews are full of examples of fine twists on the employment of the English language.

That said, I don't pay much attention to them usually. It's pretty easy to judge music simply by listening to it but at least the combined percentages can give you a good idea of which album to start with for a given band.
lol, fair enough.
After a certain point there is no reason to champion a cause. If a cause is popular enough people have already made up their minds and all you are doing is boosting your image among those who agree with you. You will not change a mind.
This sounds like a very interesting area! I guess you are the "Statistical Process Monitoring"/"Control charts"/"Shewhart charts" [0] for images. Very cool!

Is this correct or is your solution totally different? In what aspect is it most similar and most different from "Control charts"?

Are there any keywords for interested hackernews readers to research this further and play with this concept? Is it correct that you do "just" outlier detection on the embeddings of the images? I guess it works something like this:

1) Image --CNN--> Embedding: maybe enforce (properties) of distribution on the embedding (something like VAE)

2) Approximate this distribution and call a (sequence of) images an outlier if its likelihood is small. Alternatively, compare the empirical distribution of a few collected images to a distribution of "good images", e.g. via embedding into RKHS.

What type of anomalies can be detected? Does in evaluate each image separately (i.e. it cannot differentiate between objects going from left to right) or does it "understand" short sequences of images? The latter sound even more interesting. Could you provide some keywords for it.

On the production line, there are already cameras and computer vision products, e.g. Halcon. These can be used to "drag/drop" a computer vision pipeline together. Could your software be integrated into it such that the output can be further processed in Halcon etc. ?

Inspect all global variables in gdb. You get every variable defined in a linked library, pages and pages and pages of output with your own program's global's stuffed somewhere in the middle. Useless.
Note that some European countries like Nordics already operate like the parent comment. These corner cases are naturally included in the four page paper where you can mark any corrections with tick boxes and amounts. So it is definitely doable, and not very hard, because other countries manage to do it as well.

It's not just an "open-source dev team". They're maintaining a distribution. They've decided to manage their own packages in parallel to upstream and provide a user-script install helper they expect you to use.

Convenience-after, sure, but this whole distro is built around convenience-first and sometimes convenience-only. I mean we're also not talking about first offenses here. Ensuring you SSL key is valid is table stakes for an operating system hosting packages, but falling down four times? It's just obviously not a priority which is unsettling for a product that installs and maintains all your software.

IMO, owning a second property should be just as expensive in taxes as it needs to be to not be profitable to own one as an investment property, in the short and long term. That way people can _have_ second properties, but it's going to cost them, and they can choose to accept the cost or not. A yearly 5% tax on the property value should just about do it.

We need to start treating housing as a vital resource, not an investment, and rationing it.
