> What you should be asking is: How was Germany so dumb that Trump saw it, but they didn’t?

They weren't dumb. They were probably ok with helping Putin invade few more countries in Easter Europe - after all, the Germans themselves are quite far and safe, and possibly also care about money more than human lives.
Very carefully indeed
QEMU has a “user mode” feature where it can transparently emulate a Linux process and translates syscalls. You can probably run at least old 32-bit Linux games that way, assuming you have appropriate userland libraries available. Windows content might be trickier.

Ask HN: Self-assessment health app shared here on HN?
Someone shared a beautiful self-service daily health diagnostics a few(?) months(?) ago here on HN.

It successfully helps people who struggling with identifying why they feel poorly with reflective questions (Have you had water? Have you eaten in the last 24 hours? etc but better).

Hoping someone has it bookmarked! — been digging for weeks.

Thanks for reading.
Sure - fair clarification. But conversely, you could make some awesome automation that you rule with a light touch as an engineer, or as a DS you could come up with that ML that Amazon has to recommend you endless TVs as soon as you bought a TV :)
EnterpriseDB sells a version of Postgres with deep Oracle compatibility, but this emulation is not included in the free version. Many years ago, IBM bundled this code into db2, and it remains jointly developed as far as I know.

The EnterpriseDB sales page for this product would be a good start on what's missing.

I've really only ever thought of Sunny 16 as a rule to use when shooting with a camera that doesn't have a light meter. Another trick you can use is to enable center weighted or spot metering on your camera, then take more control over which part of the scene the meter is using to calculate exposure. ie. If you're trying to expose for detail in the shadows, point the center of the frame at the shadows and lock the exposure.

There are hydrogen and methane generation processes that also do some small carbon capture, to manufacture ammonia ultimately.

The problem is that they require too much heat and electricity and currently are not yet viable. They would be viable in a slightly oversized grid with at least 75% renewables.
Hi, sorry yeah DAW a.k.a. Digital Audio Workstation is just a fancy name for audio recording and mixing software. A bit like an old control room with mixing desk and tape machine and outboard audio hardware, but all on a PC in software.

If you've turned to a system based on everything being perfectly declarative and reproducible, why would you then add an imperative autoupdating system on top of that? Of course you can, but if you're fine with that kind of system, why would you have turned to guix in the first place? It's not like it's just the popular default and you want to do something else on top, it's a super niche thing based specifically around this and you're breaking the core philosophy

I can't articulate specifically why but using typing in Python just feels like so much pain compared to other languages that have "opt-in" nominal typing syntax (PHP et al.).

The workflow feels frustrating, the ecosystem seems diverse and has no clear "blessed" path, and I'm still confused about what is bundled by Python and what I need to pull in from an external source. I REALLY want to use mypy but by the time I've figured out how to pull it all together I probably could have finished the program I'm working on.

The relevant factor here might be the size of Python programs I typically work on, somewhere between a few hundred lines and a few thousand.

I'm glad other people are having success because hopefully that'll smooth the pavement for the next time I circle around and try to add some meaningful types to my Python programs.
Again, what does this have to do with this story? Having the police called on you because of something like this is not going to result in the police chasing you, so this has nothing to do with this story. It's just utterly unrelated what-aboutism.
If you get the $9.99/mo plan and just hook it to a 4k display with gigabit, then no I wouldn't expect improvement. I'm asking how it looks if you pay Netflix twice as much for the "Premium Ultra HD (4K)" plan. I certainly would expect them to allocate more bandwidth if you're paying them double to get the stream they say is higher quality.
It is not true that Morsi's government tried to enact Sharia law. Egyptian liberal's overblown fear of Islam resulted in something far worse, a military dictatorship for another 30 years.

This will correct one fairly minor problem with shooting in bright sunlight: incorrect metering. But it doesn't fix many of the other problems that lead to not-great midday landscape photos:

Stronger highlights suck out color. Highlights on leaves are white when the leaf itself is green, so when you have more bright highlights and strong shadows, the result is the foliage becomes desaturated. Instead of invited greenery, you get a harsh staticky jumble of white and black.

Direct light sucks detail out of shadows. When the lighting is diffuse because of cloud cover or a low sun angle going through a lot more atmosphere which then reflects it around, you have beams of light coming in from all different directions. This means more light is able to work its way into shadows. That in turn preserves imagery in there and gives you more to look at. In direct overhead sunlight, shadows are inky black and featureless.

The color is less interesting. Overhead sunlight is going through less atmosphere, so it hits the ground mostly white. That leads to a neutral color cast to the image. Angled sunlight goes through a much greater volume of atmosphere. Air doesn't scatter sunlight uniformly and the effect on light depends on its frequency/color (Rayleigh scattering). The sky appears blue and the sun a warm yellow or orange. That in turn means that directly illuminated parts of the photo get a warm cast and the indirect illumination gets cooler. In other words, beautiful warm highlights and blue shadows.

It just looks harsh and unappealing. Photos aren't just collections of pixels. We recognize what we're looking at. And humans generally find the angled indirect light of gentle morning on the heath more inviting than the boiling overhead glare of a desert sun.

You can take beautiful, striking landscape photos in midday, of course. But you can't nullify its effect. The light you choose will determine the photo. Sunlight is as fundamental to photography as the human subject is to portraiture.
I think you're talking about debt restructuring on a massive scale rather than untargeted "UBI" "grants".

The problem is universities are for-profit factories motivated by monetary extraction to squeeze their customers for every dime they don't have in the future.

Until students stop paying insane amounts of money they don't have like a credit card and HR departments don't absolutely "require" a college degree for decent jobs, universities will keep finding ways of spending money on lavish buildings ever year or two and keep raising the prices.

After nearly two decades of FAANG, I left to work for a nuclear company, and I love it. Not all of my skills are utilized here, but my brain is growing in new ways. It's thrilling to work with people whose abilities are so different from my own, on problems which I believe to be among the most important I could be working on.

One piece of advice is to not over-romanticize such a switch. Every job has its frustrations and irritants and drudgeries. Changing careers does not cure burnout or apathy, if the source of those feelings is inside you.

Perhaps consider contract work as a way to get started.

At the risk of being over-sentimental, I reflect on something Steve Jobs said, about being fired from Apple:

What people often perceive as a "good picture" is really a picture with some sort of novelty. That novelty can manifest in several ways, including an artistically balanced composition, unique lighting, being in a place on Earth that few people have been, resonating with cultural values of the viewer, or having a deep story depicted by it.

Sunrise and sunset shooting is often because you can achieve that sense novelty almost purely with lighting alone. It doesn't need to have a story, be in Antarctica, it could just be a flower with a pretty sunset and people will consider it a good picture because the lighting is novel.

But lighting is not the only way to achieve novelty.

If your picture has an exceptionally good story or good composition, mid-day shooting doesn't really present much of an obstacle.

My uninformed guess would be that a financial platform mostly just wants a monotonically increasing clock with which to order transactions. So this would I guess avoid quite a bit of the annoying date related stuff. (?)

Anyway if you queried something to get the current date-time and clock-time, you could be farming out the annoying edge cases to some arbitrarily complicated library, right? Which is the right way to do things.

Ask HN: What is it like developing and deploying ASP.NET on Linux?
Dear all,

I'm investigating possible languages and ecosystems to develop a commercial web application. I'm reasonably familiar with Java but work in C# for my day job, so these are the two languages that I'm considering.

For a variety of reasons, I wish to build an entirely Linux server side. I'd like to hear your experiences running ASP.NET on Linux. Would you recommend it? Would I run into problems and frustrations because the ecosystem is still slanted towards Windows?

The main reasons in my mind to use .net are C#, the Entity Framework (ORM, DB migrations), and the Blazor templates.

But perhaps, if the Java ecosystem has good enough analogues and is better supported on Linux that might be the way to go.

Any thoughts or anecdotes will be appreciated.

OpenGL 2.1 is not enough for browsers - Firefox requires OpenGL 3.2 for limited hardware acceleration support, and there will be limitations on Chrome as well. Desktop acceleration is a similar story, KWin will have a degraded experience for OpenGL less than 3. There is also the possibility of breakage due to missing extensions.

Most old games won't work because most are going to require OpenGL>=3. For D3D games from Windows, translation efforts have long been focused on Vulkan, and even then, you are very likely to require extensions which aren't present or further versions of OpenGL.

So that's to say that, it's not about AAA games, it's about Firefox, (full) KDE, and Minecraft. Which is going to take a few years, probably. There is no RIP, it's going about as well as those people were predicting - I'm expecting it's not going to be able to have full browser acceleration and play Minecraft until 2 more years at the very least.

Huge fan of Mypy but you lost me at LOC worship.

Why do we do this? The more LOC is somehow attributed to more features? That simply isn’t true. More LOC means two things. One, what you are trying to do with the language is pushing its limits. Or two, you don’t understand the domain.

Most large monorepo’s I have seen fall into the latter category while few reside in the former. Game engines, mature enterprise software, and a few others are large (probably OP’s codebase too), but we seem to revel in the fact that we have so much code to grok. Sometimes conciseness is better than cleverness.

Back to mypy. I’d throw in black as well. Combining black, flake8, mypy, on precommit has loads of advantages. It’s completely opinionated but I find it helps me write better Python code.
