Personally whether I feel I should apologize for a bug in my code depends on a lot of things.

If it's a bug in some code that I've made open to others then the code normally comes with instructions telling them what to do when they find a bug, that in itself implies there are going to be bugs in the code and so I don't feel the need to apologize for it (note I usually do thank people when they report a bug, doubly so if they include a fix!).

If it's a bug in some code at work where a more junior developer has spent a day struggling with it before figuring out that it's not their code that's wrong, then I might apologize. Not a grovelling apology begging for forgiveness, but more of casual acknowledgement that I made a mistake in the code. Acknowledging that the issue wasn't in their code is important. Also I use the apology as a way to give them permission to fix the code they haven't written - once they're more experienced they won't need this, but when they're starting out realizing that other developers make mistakes and that you can fix them is important.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm not sure I know a less forum-y site for these things. The standard places for knowledge like this are forums: e.g., https://diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3455&s... or https://forum.mhut.org/ or https://dxdy.ru/sozdanie-elektronnyh-knig-f7.html .
I'm doubtful that product owners are net positive. The idea that they'd be mistaken for a silver bullet is surreal.
Google Maps actually works better for me on FF than on Chrome. For some reason earth view won't launch on Chrome while it never stopped working on FF.
This burnt me when I wrote an algorithm. I depended on the order of keys in dicts as it allowed me reference the value both by index and key.

I wrote the code in python 3.7+, and ended up spending a good amount of time debugging it when I ran it in a earlier python version.

My step son was 17 years old, 6'5" and 300 pounds (140kg).

He got the sleep apnea face mask CPAP for sleeping, started losing a bit of weight very quickly, got encouraged and revised hs diet and started going to the gym regularly (but not obsessively or anything) and in 9 months was down to just over 200 pounds (95kg).

I can't rememeber when he stopped the CPAP, but was no more than 3 months in.

He's now 26 years old, maintained all the weight loss throughout and and still goes to the gym and goes indoor climbing regularly. He still pays attention to diet, but basically eats what he wants a significant portion of the time.

I don't think he could have done it without starting the CPAP first, it's hard to say for sure, but it definately had an impact almost straight away.
I don’t know how the negative feedback cycle started but it definitely exists — teachers are treated with contempt by both management and parents which creates a selection pressure that either favors or develops a certain kind of negative character trait in the job.

My school was very poorly funded. The shiny new facilities that everyone associated with the private sector were only ever provided as vanity projects by wealthy parents. The day to day funding for repairs, painting, food, resources, staff etc was rock bottom. Another reason to see how a bitter sentiment can accumulate over time.

So I guess the first of your two options? There is a constant influx of people who want to be good teachers. We squander it but passively knocking them down and it is very sad.
In Sweden we're allowed by law to work 75% while we have kids under 8. I started doing that when the kids were small, and continued even though my youngest is now 9.

I work 7 hours per day Monday to Thursday, and Fridays I alternate between 8 hours and having the day off. Over two weeks, this equals 80%. If needed I do some work on my "free" Fridays as well, but it's usually not needed.

If you ask me, I'd say I'm as productive on this schedule as I would have been on 8 hours per day - if not more. So it's win-win: my employer gets the output of 100% but only pays 80%, and I get time off to do other things.
How is this different from App Store or Google Play?

> The actions of Sony is costing millions of people who can't afford it...

Not a good argument IMO. Is this referring to the end user buying games or game studios. If it is the latter I think that is a better argument.
What you may want to do is make this beep not connected to your body movement ( for security reasons) for example: one beep every day. ( sending your data in batches), or random beep ( generating junk data), or no beep at all ( firewalling outgoing traffic to google).
I'm not so sure. Aren't we having a bit of negativity bias here, as we mostly hear about the negative events while there are probably countless successful integrations with cloud providers.
I'm always stunned whenever I have to search for something in our GCP audit logs, because the company that shipped Google search also shipped a log searching and filtering interface that's slower than our self-hosted kibana while searching over multiple orders of magnitude less data.
Toyota made the largest bet on hydrogen of any car manufacturer. They stubbornly stuck to it and were slow in developing EV's. They're playing fast catchup but will be a few years behind everyone else. What that costs them in market share is anyone's guess. I thought the laggard would be Chrysler/Stellantis but they're getting set to introduce a number of models starting next year.

The law can only come if people sue

And yes I think people should engage lawyers in cases like this. Even in small cases court if it's the case
They are also missing the fact that new, large homes are much more efficient. My 3600 sq/ft new construction consumes less energy to heat and cool than the 900 sq/ft 1960s ranch I used to live in, due to more advanced construction techniques, HVAC technology improvements, and better materials science.

The same applies to cars. Take something like a Rivian and it’s easily more efficient than a Prius or a subcompact car, while being larger, faster, more performant, and more comfortable. Bigger and more comfortable does not necessarily mean worse for the planet.
Its a shame that one aspect of displaying movies (24 fps!) has gotten worse over time.

Motion. I say motion is quite important.

CRT was better than Plasma even though Plasma was quite good.

LCD is basically PC monitor technology and it uses sample and hold, totally unsuitable for movie motion.

OLED, while great in other ways, 24p-motion still sucks, its easily the worst thing about the technology.

What technology will have all the modern good stuff and have CRT/Plasma like motion?
Even if he did, the problem here is canned answers. Not getting any specifics of what you should correct is a nightmare. It’s like a stupid escape game where you can’t win.

They can say it’s in the description but not what specifically? Wtf kind of crappy support tool do they use that they can’t customize canned replies?
Except, you know, in parts of the world that are not sunny California. Your camera will mean nothing in the Nordics/Canada with snow/slush/dirt on the road, and the sun shining straight at you.

But sure, do tell me how you're going to ignore the laws of physics and see a road sign, a kid, or a deer when your camera is blind.
They are, in Europe, where we have decent regulation and consumer protection with teeth.
When was the last time any big company was split? AT&T 50 years ago, any newer examples? Nowadays big tech is too influential to allow politicians to make such decisions.
Backblaze is very cheap and has several "don't overload our system" clauses in their terms and conditions.

They're cheap and reliable, that generally comes at the risk of early termination. I don't think you can have a cheap, reliable, unlimited service; pick two at most.
In these industries the regulation is the only thing preventing them being unfathomably worse.
Is this a sarcastic joke? Surely you can't mean that.
I love my job. Sure, there are frustrations, miscommunications, bugs, deadlines, annoying customers, etc. but:

1. I get to play with APL[1] every day which makes work fun[2] in itself.

2. The company I work for very much feels like a family. Most of us are friends as well as colleagues, and end up seeing each other outside of work. We have a strict no overtime-pay policy to avoid employees overworking themselves, and a flat management structure with a large degree of freedom to organise oneself and choose what exactly to work on. Everyone is expected to speak up about any issue they encounter, be it internal, in the product, or in outside communications. After interviews by managers, potential new hires have to present and answer questions about some project of theirs to the entire company. Then we send them out, and anyone can express any concerns (or positivity!) We don't adhere to any strict way of working; just a beginning-of-week standup where we say what we're expecting to work on this week and if we need anything from anyone else, and an end-of-week report on what we got done. And no, we're not a startup, we've been in business for over 45 years, and have customers that are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Honest question, was it ever used in that combination? I've seen ¢ used for amounts less than a dollar, e.g.: 75¢. I (still) sometimes use it like that, because, I guess, it makes me feel adjusted to my environment, as an ESL :-) But I've never seen both $ and ¢ in the same amount/expression.
Cars like the Lamborghini Urus do that and replay fake engine sounds through the speakers, and it's an absolute abomination

Those are different providers. Why would you need a 3rd?
Dream life! How did you go about negotiating 4-day week at a startup? From experience sturtups have been a "6 days in a 5-day week grind". Seeing a 4-day week is refreshing!

Yeah even if we consider USD a unit, most units are appended after the number. It is weird. Never thought of it this way. Huh!
Not just that: few people are Steve Wittens or Farbrausch vetted, most are bewilderingly contented with the ugly and deformed. Even among professionals, and with decades long evidence. See for example the adoption of 3d in online maps, that brought from "good as expected" to "utterly unwatchable, unusable" (and it is fortunate that you can still access the past versions). And that is the big 'G', with nobody able to note, "look - and do look -, this is an unacceptable result".

Normally you need good illustrators and artists: with some approaches you need much better illustrators, artists and taste.

Agreed. This issue seems to be popping up constantly on the front page. Not just Google but many of these companies.

I should not be able to get customer service from a random McDonalds franchise over a chicken sandwich easier than a company that we spend thousands, tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars with.

They do not get to use "We're too big with too many customers" as a defense. They can figure it out.
When I was using my pixel 2, I tried the adapters. They were so bad that I changed 5 adapters in 2 months. Finally, I just gave up. The adapter just stops working.

To go a step further, I ordered Google's pixel earphones which are USB-C. They got to shit in a month and when I asked Google, they just sent another one and asked me to keep the older one.

Long story short, I tried very hard to use wired headphones and because I couldn't, I just lost the habit of using a headphone with mobile.
That's a good point. Asus usually say two major Android versions but as 13 is on the brink of release, it might be a shorter window than usual.
I'd guess that a large percentage of SMBs are running on-prem, so you don't hear about switching back because they avoided the cloud in the first place.
It's just fashion. People try to rationalise it because they don't like to think they are influenced by fashion. Those who really aren't are just perceived as weird.

This is addressed to organizations with large internal IT organizations, where software is not an external product. That's a classic problem.

Thinking of in-house software as a product is not all that useful. It's not a product. It does not have real pricing. You can't sell more of it and increase the customer base. You can't drop money-losing products. Cost centers do not have the same incentive structure as profit centers.

Here's a classic memo on that subject.[1]

Why Sideberry over TST?
Also known as a diptych :-)

I own a Pen F (the SLR version of the author’s camera), and they are indeed wonderful little bodies (and lenses, given their size). Having 72 (80 if you’re careful) frames per roll makes shooting on film a little interesting — it’s still fundamentally scarce, but not nearly as scarce as 24/36.
I’m not a huge fan of vscode (speaking as a c++ dev), but remote dev is a killer feature so I use it over other alternatives.

Camels were also used in Australian expeditions into the deserts.

Just googled and it turns out there aren't any wild camels in the USA anymore. Here in Australia they thrived and became a giga-pest which require lots of culling. I think Arabs brought them over when they built some train tracks in the western states and then just let them go wild when motorised transport became a thing.

Mostly used for target practice and cheap meat nowadays.
I don't use google ads now because of suspended account for the last 2 years. No luck to get the response about the issue from their support. I would say never use google products. They are not people oriented. They charge for the digital products without having reliable communication. if you want to grow it's definitely better to keep using the other services.

I don't recommend anything else but have you heard any cases about digitalocean or amazon or fly or other platforms? also it's possible to write to support and get information about any kind of the issues that you are getting for any kind of the reasons.

I am on a laptop so I don't have an extra screen to put video on, but every now and then I will have something playing in the background. It's nice to be able to have a small view of it in the corner while working.

What is the benefit of importing a dependency only as devDependency and including it like this in the build? Why not just declare a normal dependency?
They have the standard level of support, which means to get your situation resolved you need to post on HN and stay on the front page long enough for Googlers to notice.

I swear this website is slowly starting to become a way to contact support for big tech more than anything else.
Because it’s regressive. We need to fix the issues, not throw the whole thing out.
They die of old age instead? Not really better. The point of the NHS is to treat people, if you have to wait three years for treatment that's the same thing as collapse, it's not really different from the user's perspective.
I don't see what GP did as much different than how most recruitment processes work from the hiring side. You usually don't find out:

- salary
- stock options
- contractual terms, like non-competes
- etc

until you have cleared their hiring bars first.

I'd love to see full transparency on both sides, but until we do I don't think they did anything wrong, and in fact just applied the same approach used by many companies, waiting until they were committed before making their big ask.

"Try before you pry" as the saying goes...
Ants that don’t cause trouble pay the bill. Ants that cause trouble are a net loss.

Customer service representation is one of the biggest expenses these companies have. That’s why they go to great lengths to make sure you can’t contact them and why they just close your account with no recourse as soon as you start causing trouble.
I'll buy that when the German auto makers get to pay properly for Dieselgate.

Until then, EU regulation will be just a demonstration that money and power still talks just like in the US, the only difference is that Europeans are better at fooling themselves about their moral superiority.
Think they meant "AWS or GCP and only backup to S3 or GCS respectively"
Do you perhaps conflate API level pagination with display pagination?
Dutch here. Haven't worked more than 32 hours a week in 20 years. I did downgrade to 24 a week for a while, convinced my boss I wanted to do a masters and he let me. Salary was just enough to pay for everything.

Its mostly normal to work 32 hours in my country. I feel 32 should be the norm actually. In my line of work - software development, 32, 36 and 40 hours are all very common. Less than 32 is really uncommon though, as a salaried employee.

I consider 32 hours to be a full-time job these days and noticed a lot of people around me are starting to do the same.
> the signal from those experts is crystal clear: climate change is a non-issue.

Wow. Considering that expertise in climate change is given by money rather than, you know, being an actual trained academic in the field, is peak capitalism.

But anyway, assuming they really behave as "experts", yeah, the signal is crystal clear... For them.

It's much less of an issue if you have enough money to move to whatever places in the world remain most livable, keep buying food even if it becomes prohibitive for most people due to crop failures, keep using AC even if it becomes prohibitive for most people due to soaring energy prices, etc.

Doesn't mean that 99.9% of the population won't suffer from climate change.
Couldn't these be fitted with enlarged versions of the emergency power turbine to feed some energy back into the batteries? Commercial planes have a small turbine that drops out of the fuselage in the event of an engine failure so that the plane can still use at least some of its fly-by-wire systems and the crew can attempt an emergency landing. Surely the principle could be scaled up to help power these electric planes? Wonder how much extra drag it would create, could end up being more harm than good.
I think they’re saying only backing up _data_ is not enough (S3, GCS). You need to be able to roll out infrastructure elsewhere to, in order to have somewhere to restore said data.
Yes, and they are still not large enough for that strategy. You could do it as a monopolist.

Sony has a history of similar hubris, they always ended up adapting to the rest in the long run, usually after losing quite a big chunk of the market to upstarts.
In addition to that more reliable companies are getting electric cars now.
I’m sorry I didn’t make it clearer that I couldn’t agree with you more.

No one goes into teaching to be a bad teacher. Some can deal with the negativity, some can’t. I couldn’t and while I would never have let it affect my work with the children, I could see myself becoming a shitty colleague. It was good that I got out when I did but I miss the children so much.
There's a moderately interesting cultural divide between "engineers must talk to customers" and "engineers must not talk to customers".

I've seen "must not talk" with a product owner who served to represent the voice of the customer, and incidentally take credit for the work he didn't understand and somewhat obstructed.

Also the same setup in prototype form where I couldn't talk to customers but also there wasn't a shim layer so I guessed what they'd want. That org has now converted to the former setup.

In the current one I don't talk to people who buy our tech but I do talk to their engineers. That gets rather direct feedback on what isn't working, facilitated by both sides improving the same codebase courtesy of open source.

Agile probably had the right idea in that engineers blocked from customers are more likely to build the wrong thing, and sales teams are right to be mistrustful of how the engineer may phrase descriptions of the system.

The open source backchannel collaboration seems optimal for me, at least in the niche where both sides have engineers employed working on the same codebase (llvm in my case but I doubt it's unique).
But you can also say the opposite: handouts increase inequality and poverty.

Who is going to suffer because of the enormous covid handouts and subsequent inflation?

It was nice while it happened but a lot of rich people really benefited and a lot of poor people are going to go through the worst consequences of inflation and recession.

If you think that production loads should be designed as multi-cloud as redundancy, then you don't understand the cost of complexity and doing it.
The camels and the Afghan camel drivers were both imported during a time of explicitly racist immigration policies. Both stayed, and a descendant of a camelteer called Bob Katter is a member of the Australian parliament, and as we say, as mad as a cut snake.

You're not wrong about camels being yet another feral pest in Australia. We also host camel auctions selling racing camel breeding stock to the middle east.

It wraps a normal Javascript library into a React component, which is very useful for many web applications.

The license is probably cheaper than having a front end dev invest time into making this embedding work well. Well-built React components can be a great business if you can entice enough people to use them and provide enough support.

In most desktop applications, you can probably get away with an iframe to do much of the same thing if you want an alternative. Just put up a static HTML file on your web server that loads pdf.js and takes a path to a PDF file to render and you're pretty much done. If you want to work around the annoyances iframes cause, this library is probably along the lines of what you'd build.
After an excellent all day workshop at CVPR this year explaining diffusion in more detail, it seemed pretty clear that any noise function could be used. I'm not sure if it should have been obvious, but I felt this paper coming from a mile away after seeing that.

I wonder to what degree certain parts of diffusion dictate using certain noise functions, and how much this paper truly challenges how we understand them. Cool to see it was researched.

Next idea: it seems like a lot of steps could be skipped by using things like momentum during the inference time. I'm sure OpenAI has already implemented several clever tricks like that in production for DallE.

I'm working on (various, non-diffusion) methods for 2D drawing to 3D output right now.
