I have a dumb phone (Nokia 8110 4G) that I wouldn't trade with the latest iOS/Android model, and during Covid restrictions I downloaded and printed the pass at home with no problems. I also pay a small fee to my bank so I can keep using SMSs for transaction confirmations instead of surrendering to their app. Also using SMSs with PayPal and a few other online services. The day they force me to use smartphones which, privacy aside, to me are next to unusable crap, to do things I can easily do on a PC, is the day I'm retiring to a technology-free place for the rest of my life.
I don’t think they’re dismissing it, they’re simply saying that’s not an option for most of the cohort of cyclists who ride for utilitarian reasons.
In the healthcare industry in USA, Personal Identification Information (PII)/Personal Health Information (PHI) needs to be encrypted at rest and in transit and is mandated by law. So, they are required to encrypt PII/PHI data fields.

Some of those practices may be generally applied for non-healthcare settings as well.
You're right that they are formally non-immigrant visa (allowing dual intent), but it is a mostly meaningless distinction as far as H-1B's and L-1's go and it is incorrect to say that they are not dual-intent visa (as dual-intent visa can very well be a descriptive name rather than a proper name. In much the same way that one might refer to a Macbook as a laptop). There are even a few government sources that call them that: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22dual-intent+visa%22+site%... .

It is a bit of a pain point because it is sometimes used in discussions by people who are against immigration to suggest that "those people" on H-1B's/L-1's should not immigrate, should not expect to immigrate, and should have known better because they "are on a non-immigrant visa" and should have simply chosen a different path. Nevermind that this _is_ more or less the only realistic way to do employment based immigration, and by far the most common one. One might consider it a bit of an anti-immigrant dog whistle. (I am not accusing you of this, just explaining why you may have gotten that reaction.)

It is, however, entirely incorrect to say that immigrating _requires_ an immigrant visa. There are two ways of becoming an immigrant:

1. From outside the US, by applying for an immigrant visa at a consulate, and then presenting the immigrant visa at a port of entry. The officer may then admit the alien in the LPR (lawful permanent resident) status.

2. From inside the US, by petitioning USCIS to adjust the status to that of an LPR. There is no immigrant visa in this case.

In general, a visa is used to legally enter the country, and status is used to legally be in the country. They are entirely separate, with different expiration dates, physically separate stamps/stickers and all (see https://www.google.com/search?q=visa+stamp+and+admission+sta...). For example, a person can present an H-1B visa (a sticker in the passport, plus a stack of paper) at a port of entry, then be admitted in H-1B status (and usually get a stamp over the sticker at that time). However, while using a visa is one way to gain a status, it is not the only way. And visa do not correspond 1:1 to statuses.

The two different ways to become an LPR are very different in terms of process, which agency to petition, processing time, availability, conditions while waiting, options if denied, cost etc. So those really cannot be mixed up.

And so, yes, one can immigrate with only a non-immigrant visa such as an H-1B. That is an officially supported function of the system. And for employment based immigration, that is the normal way to do it. Therefore the more descriptive name "dual-intent visa" is rather useful in the context of employment based immigration, even though the proper classification is "non-immigrant visa". Whereas even if it is formally a "non-immigrant visa", it can be useful to say that in practice it is not really a "non-immigrant visa" but a "dual-intent visa".
You picked two of the best documented projects around in Rust and PostgreSQL. I don't think that inferior documentation for libraries is a foregone conclusion. Rust's serde library is exceptionally well documented IMO.

It's a matter of having the skill and the will though, and I feel like a lot of projects simply don't emphasize documentation. Even so, not everyone's going to be a good technical writer.
It helps everyone and always. Don't believe me? Go program with it completely turned off for a month.

If you can suffer that long without switching back prematurely, maybe you're built different, and that's good for you, but noone I know could last that long.
> At this stage there's nothing really that nginx could offer that would bring me back from Caddy.

Performance?
Thanks for sharing this. I got the email, but found it here first. They let us know pretty fast, and gave clear instructions on how to secure our accounts moving forward. That can't be said for all companies that we trust with our info.

It sounds like payment data was stored in a separate database that had a different set of credentials (for this I am grateful).

Thanks to The Plex Security Team for providing details quickly.

These became irrelevant with the creation of centralised notification services from google and apple which allow your device to receive messages from an unlimited number of services without having to have the apps running or consuming resources.

It is still an issue for desktop but that’s a minority of IM users these days.
It does unfortunately. Here is the excerpt,"The project must be something you've worked on personally and which you're around to discuss."
Op constructed a horrible prompt. First of all, using king Philippe I. is against the ToS, so let's go with a generic "king".

Let's not confuse the AI with "buts", just say that he is giving the speech to cucumbers.

Lastly, specify some style, because this would probably not work out as a photo.

My single try is not bad at all and it could definitely be improved.

The less the network operator does, the better imo. Just let them be dumb data types. Apple and Google will always be vastly superior at keeping out spam.
Does at-rest mean: encrypted on storage so noone can physically steal a drive or encrypted in the database so noone can get the information with SQL without the key (e.g. Postgres column encryption)?
Have to imagine they're trying to less aggressively order posts by engagement, and as a result this is what bubbles to the top.
This is a great idea but I don't understand why not to extend something like swc to support svelte.

95% should be already there (maybe this does that? https://github.com/wuyudi/svelte-swc)
Thank you. It's been a good while since I studied how mass spec actually works. And the ones we used were not new at the time (they were from a local company that donated their older machines to my university). Maybe I only remember how ours worked.

The organic chem students didn't get to use the nice computerized FFT NMR machine that was in the basement - that was for analytical chem students and research projects. No, the NMR's you got to use in organic just scanned each frequency and had a plotter that traced your result on paper.

I did think that the single peak on both fluorine and carbon NMR was pretty cool.
> The Shazam patent holders lawyers are sending me emails to stop me from releasing the code and removing this blogpost

The fact that the justification for the patent system is to ensure knowledge about inventions is disseminated and yet it generates the above situation where they are literally threatening to sue him for disseminating the knowledge of how it works, tells you a lot about how badly the patent system is working / abused.
Yes, as usual hn answers my own question in quick time! Will be interesting to see how long it takes them to sort this one.
And if you use caddy you never need to know what any of that means, since caddy completely automates it. Maybe it's not a pain to you since you're used to it, but it's a major obstacle to most people looking to set up a website, particularly for the first time.

Even though I've set up nginx and certbot before, I'm happy I don't need to think about that stuff with caddy. Total waste of mental resources. I just want to get stuff on the Web.
For anyone excited about this project: The repo does not contain a compiler yet. It's just an intention to build one.

No, I understand that (although things like @runtime_checkable and NamedTuple muddle things a bit). My point is that, based on the error messages, Literal both is and isn't a generic type.
I think the algorithm is broken and it just shows all posts of liked sites.
They are the worst I’ve seen as well.

Yes, people tend to share the best of the best. However these results seem especially bad, like bottom 10% bad.
I wonder if nowadays we still see most of these as undesirable. I don't mean appendicitis :) but the rest...

Reading books is nice, but better if balanced with exercise. Most other scares are really moral panic about people getting more freedom "than in the presence of chaperones" :)

Actually, it doesn't seem to be specific of bikes. Probably cars were too expensive for women and young people to own.
Don't be shocked. There are plenty of short domains left for grab, they're just expensivish for most people (usually $100 - $1000 but could be more). Glad that's the case, otherwise squatters would've "invested" into them already.
Sure, and I also drive on the sidewalk with my car because I'm so used to it when I walk.
> While I understand and agree with the sentiment you express, I don't agree with using the word "magic" to refer to it.

The word is historically accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_magic Prior to the scientific revolution at least, this really is how "tech" was conceptually understood.

(This becomes quite clear when considering how e.g. Newton was equally involved in highly "scientific" (by a modern standard) and highly "occult" pursuits. The two would've been essentially indistinguishable at the time.)
Every field in a MongoDB document (we encoded documents in BSON at the driver level) is typed and you can apply a schema to any collection if you choose to do so.
Data Science for H1B petition case status prediction
For this year, we had 483,927 H1B petitions filed. Anyone on a work visa faces extreme anxiety and frustration when they are eagerly waiting for the next steps.

Case Studies at Data Kapoor™ presents How to use Data Science to predict if an H1B petition would be certified, withdrawn, or denied?

Using this prediction model, we can predict the case status given the petition columns and potentially determine if there would be a second lottery in FY 2023. Additionally, we can also find out anomalous behaviors and extract insights into how the H1B program is being utilized.

Please state clearly in the readme what is open-source and and what is not. Also calling it open-core might be more appropriate.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I have used Realtek chips in various computers over the last 15 years or so and they were all quite stable, that's why I jumped to that conclusion
Go there and look. Make up your own mind.
Most of them seem to be more from the time when it would have been more likely to see bike factory owning lobbyists convincing everyone to make roads useable for everyone wanting to go faster than 10 km/h.

Things we can blame on the bicycle: the roads early cars drove on. (ps: other things we can blame on the bicycle: the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, the Wright Flyer)
Radu, I'm Romanian too (and assuming based on your name you're Romanian), we have lots of SUVs. Maybe you're thinking of something else? Maybe pickup trucks?
No, not all.

If you rooted it via Magisk, the DenyList feature and the module "Universal SafetyNet Fix" should help you out [0]. If you're running a custom firmware, you might need to resort to patching the device properties [1].

Still, it's utterly absurd how many apps go to extremely long lengths just to tell me they don't like me having root access to my own f..ing phone, including Samsung's Watch interface app. The only situation where I can at least understand the reasons are DRM and cheaters in f2p games.

Hate for bicycles hasn’t changed. People think a bike travel is recreational, and thus less important than a car travel.
Someone goes out of their way to affirm that, by having to overtake bikes or not let them overtake their cars. A couple of times I met cars busting their brakes trying to keep up with me with a disc road bike on long technical descents
Just checked on Android, it's still bugged in the sense that it shows hundreds of posts by people on pages and groups, and sponsored posts. Pretty much nothing else.

Indeed, it's becoming hard to avoid it.

Here in Spain we have the problem of this interpersonal payment system called "Bizum". It's like a local paypal but owned by the banks. So many people use it that it can't be avoided.

But my bank (and others too) only offer this functionality in their mobile app, not on their website. So if you need to use it you're really forced to use the mobile app.

In my case I have an old iPod Touch which I use only for this, nothing else. It works ok. But I wish I could just use it from the website from whatever device I want.
The Camden bench looks like it should be possible to design a nice wooden seating surface for it that is just placed on top with no additional fastening required. Having all these edges on top will help keeping it in place.
The TikTokification of Facebook is giving Meta brainworms.

The entire model of Facebook, until recently, was the social graph. It seems now that they're terrified of getting their lunch eaten, they are trying to combine algorithmic selection of what random users like the most but have no relationship to the user (Reels) with the social graph, but it's not a good fit and doesn't gel.
You don’t need new language, you can just not use classes ie. [0].

> I have never seen the benefit of leaving signed overflow undefined,

IIRC it affords huge optimization opportunities, esp. around loops. (Now, whether you like that or not is a value judgment, but a lot of people do want those optimizations.)
Most of those headlines can be read as "let's apply statistics in the most idiotic way".
I have taken a look at random git repo that seemed important enough: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core.git

There's about 5% of commits made by people with e-mail domain different than google.com, android.com or chromium.org (6% if you count the last one too).

Pretty much the same result on another one: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.gi...

Do you get to see the code of yet unreleased versions of Android? Sure, they do accept some patches, but "developed in the open" doesn't seem to describe their development model.
>The NHS is a tragedy and I almost wish they'd just hurry up and privatise it so I don't have to pay with it with my taxes anymore, which means the Tories achieved their goal.

I hear this bandied about a lot, but do you have any evidence to support this claim.

"In 2006/2007, 2.8% of NHS spending went to private providers, rising to 4.4% in New Labour’s last full year in government and 4.9% in the first year of the Coalition. About 7.6% of NHS revenue spending in 2015/16 went on purchasing care from private providers.12 In the three years from then to the Covid-19 pandemic, private spending flatlined, with the combined non-NHS spend of Commissioners and Trusts being under 8%.13 The Chief Executive of the NHS predicted in 2015 that the proportion of NHS work going to the private sector would be unlikely to increase beyond ‘the margins’.14 He has been proved right." https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/01410768211049...

From what I've read Labour was also responsible for the privitisation of healthcare.

Not that I'm personally opposed to some privitisation in a sensible manner, but the privitisation debate just seems to be some form of political attack with little grounding in reality.
The NHS is collapsing due to politicised defunding. The NHS is a sacred cow in the UK so the right can't overtly criticise it, instead it's death by a thousand cuts (pun intended).

Remember Noam Chomsky's quote on this subject? "Privatisation technique: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital". The latter part is already happening.
Maybe more bikes - fewer horses?
Horses used to be fed lots of grain.
And submitting a post to HN with the format “{something popular} rewritten in Rust” is always going to go straight to the top, even is they haven’t completed it yet, or maybe never will.

The interesting thing here is really the reaction from the HN community, not the incomplete implementation.

Having said that, this is a brilliant project.
There is always a difference between what you want to do with your time and what you actually end up doing with your time.

Some people that have a larger gap here, likely could benefit from more mindful decision making.
> Perhaps not "GNU" enough, but certainly the spirit of Linux -- customized for the particular needs, stable, fast, works on a plethora of hardware, etc.

True, but you forget being transparent and giving users control, which are vital aspects of Linux that Android is light years away from offering and will never offer.
It's basically a microkernel ;-)

Some networks use databases of images rather than storing all data directly in weights.
It depends on where you're from and how your cities are designed though; this is not an issue in e.g. the Netherlands.
This is hilarious. I remember a similar collection of headlines and opinion pieces calling out ‘newspapers on trains causing people not to talk to each other’, where ‘newspapers’ could be easily substituted for ‘smartphones’ to bring the title in the current era.

I wonder which piece of technology is currently cautioned as the root of all evil, bringing a laugh to future historians. ‘Video Games’ (causing violence and obesity) come to mind, and ‘AI’ (taking our jobs).
In these a lot of people seem to be trying to "talk" to Eminem, who prominently happens to have made a song highlighting the insanity of such parasocial relationships.

This probably shouldn't be funny to me.

As a kid, I always saw brands like Alienware like fancy brands for rich people and never understood their value (kinda like paying €100 for a t-shirt). I'd never met anyone who came close to affording such things either.

As an adult, I understand that not everyone has the know-how or time to assemble their own computer, but I still don't get why somebody would by from Alienware instead of having your local computer shop assemble one for you. The price difference is still ridiculous. Is it just good marketing?
So many are doing? I assume you're American then?

In my opinion if there's one traffic law to abide, it's that. Not signaling, speeding, etc are relatively harmless compared to running red lights. It's very rare to see anyone do that in here (Northern Europe) and I think the fines for that are also the largest among related fines.
> oh at least it's not opioids

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that we shouldn't conflate the two via language, because as you also admit, they're not even in the same planet with regards to their danger and effect on the human organism. They don't operate the same way at all. I said nothing and passed no judgement on the dangers or lack thereof of porn.

It's actually because of pedestrians jaywalking all the time. Horrible example for car ownership abiding citizens. As if it wasn't enough, they also make traffic a lot more dangerous by selfishly exposing themselves unvehicled.
Sounds like you're throwing every buzzwords you can think of. All is extreme and too general to make anything of it.

That is not useful as a base for debate. You're just spilling all your negative feelings in this post...
This actually confirms my points. They are a niche company doing a niche device for a completely different target market, entirely not focused on performance but eco-friendliness. They are not mainstream competitive. The devices’ camera is at best usable. Also: needs Android to work at all.
A little off topic, and I know it'll never happen (though it is a common, if very minor, issue people have with Godot), but in that header image it looks like they accidentally found a better logo for Godot. It's still got the classic shape, and the centre circle looks less like the centre of a cog and more like an eye, but its also a lot cleaner than we've currently got.

Anyway, back on topic, yeh I think this is for the best. I never really saw it used, and the few times I tried myself it seemed less intuative than just programming. Also much harder to express in documentation. Also for beginners, its not a great lesson to learn, visual scripting is uncommon in the wider industry outside of game dev, and where it does exist is very specific to its own software
It's long out of support from Sony but still runs the very latest LineageOS, Sailfish etc. And it was one of the very few officially supported sailfish phones, sailfish is just a bit rough itself :)

It's pretty decent hardware, mine still lasts 2 weeks on standby. Granted, I don't do much with it, I just use it to test out new lineage updates. No SIM in it. But it does receive some push messages through MicroG. I'm surprised how well it aged.

Not a fan of its hardware design though, with its overcomplicated ridges, seams and edges.
Did you miss this example from the linked post about redux-toolkit? https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/blob/4ab8c42cb20ae1...

This is what types look like when you're on the library side. The post made very clear they aren't talking about the app dev side. The library types are complex like this so that the app devs have a smoother experience.
I'm interested to know more around how a third-party was able to access the data with for others to learn and provide use-cases to increase security controls in areas where there may be deficiencies.
Wait is interface types no longer happening or did I misunderstand your comment?
> I think the underlying assumption here is that there is no difference between a library developer and an end-developer, which I reject.

There is - developing good libraries requires a much higher standard than developing good frontends.

> In effect, we are shifting complexity from end-developers to library developers. This places a huge burden on us to be experts with how typescript works.

That is the main purpose of libraries: to take work away from the user of it.
