Also AC is much more efficient if it keeps the room at a stable temperature rather than letting it heat up and then cooling it down again. I never set it that low myself but some hotels don't have a temp setting, that's true

Do you honestly believe Google respects people?

> We are allies, not soulmates or lovers.

To me it appears exactly that. One is abusive one is complacent. S/he hits me because s/he loves me. Thats the attitude of people in allied countries each time germany or the eu imposes sanctions because of “corruption” or some other wanna be do good reason, all the while their corrupt partners in the two entities walk free. In fact it hits the very same people, whom somehow think bowing their heads and slaving around europe is a good idea. Instead they should develop a personality and standup. When they warned germany its policies towards russia would backfire and were ignored they should have played the sanctions game just as hard. Do business with russia, but dont sell scrapyard cars in east europe. Abuse workers and smear them in the media, dont do business in east europe.

Honestly, those traders kept around until the dirty work was done got the best deal. Million dollar bonus for a couple of days of work and a clear way out, I would have taken that deal in a second.

Side note: Regardless of the borderline sociopathic ruthlessbes of Jeremy Irons character, I'd propably work for him as well. At least for a while. Heck, he was flown to a crisis meeting, listened to the people on the ground, understood the problem, met a decision and implemented a plan. All that in one night! Most senior managers I know would have needed a month to understand the why the underlying mathematical model had any significance.
Probably not. As others have said, some of it is more or less legally required. What I don't understand is why they need to (or should be allowed to) retain that data in perpetuity.
Especially, when you do something that hurts people, there are ways to rationalize it. "If I didn't do it, someone else would", "they'll get it back from insurance or something, it won't inconvenience them too much", or just plain trying not to think about them at all.

But none of those options really work for the kind of identity theft where you take up loans in someone else's name, try to extort them with private information etc. The people who do that know perfectly well what kind of Kafkaesque hellhole they're sending their victims into. About the only thing they can do to justify themselves to themselves, is pick a victim they already hate for some reason.
>If you put in creative inputs using a tool, it is copyrightable (a car's design). If all you did was say, give my XYZ widget (in this case 'give me a picture of a frog holding an umbrella under a rainbow') you only gave instructions for generating a widget, you did not create art.

Does this still hold true if you worked through hundreds of variants of 'give me a picture of a frog holding an umbrella under a rainbow', generating dozens or hundreds of images for each version of your prompt, ultimately putting in hours or days (or weeks) of work to produce a single image depicting the perfect umbrella-wielding frog you were originally envisioning? This isn't even considering inpainting, masking, and other image-in-image manipulations these models can also do to get you closer to the results you're trying to create.

For artists using AI, this seems to be the more common case and is a far cry from the idealistic one-prompt-and-done that usually gets used for an example in these conversations.
> Then they bought Skype and it went downhill from there.

I still remember older versions of Skype, which felt usable and rock solid. I actually used some from I think http://www.oldversion.com/windows/skype/ back in the day for my personal stuff, because the reworked UI was just worse.

But nowadays, I don't really care that much, whether I have to use Skype, Teams, Zoom, Slack, Discord, Jitsi, Mattermost, Rocket.Chat or something else - all of the communication tools out there feel viable, just none are excellent.

That said, WhatsApp feels like it's an order of magnitude faster (on mobile) than Signal and Telegram somehow (privacy implications aside, it's still one of the more popular ways to chat with people in the EU), which I found interesting. Of course, it's generally for chatting, not necessarily team collaboration (where you'd want channels and workspaces). On the desktop, however, generally you're just dealing with packaged browser apps most of the time.

I do feel like mentioning how nice having self-hostable non-cloud options is when you need them, be it Nextcloud Talk or the aforementioned Jitsi, Mattermost, Rocket.Chat or something else.
All very true. And he is gold in all of those, although he was still relatively unknown at the time.
Dynamic languages aren't just about the syntax, they are also about copious amounts of implicit casts and slow but flexible data structures to make working with them possible.

Python has a very good set of data structures and implicit casts, that is the main reason it is popular. Compare to jagascript for example... Anyway, making python fast while keeping all those casts and data structures is very hard, Javascripts casts and data structures are bad for the programmer but very good for the interpreter so is much easier to optimize which is why it runs orders of magnitude faster.

Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner is probably the best nonfiction book I've ever read. It not only contains profound philosophical insights, but presents them in a concise and approachable manner. Every chapter ends with a recapitulation of the chapter's contents (why isn't this standard?). The book is short and deals with a single topic. It gets to the point rather than beating around the bush, and completely avoids invoking metaphysical explanations or political implications. I truly cannot praise it enough.
No! It's censoring streaming videos of other people engaging in unregulated gambling.

Censoring unregulated gambling is something else entirely.
I feel "partial" in 'partial mobilization' intends to be deceptive. The version of the decree released to the public [1] contains nothing limiting number of recruits. That number is specified in a classified portion of the decree [2]. If it simply stated the same number Putin and Shoigu claim (300k), I doubt it would need to be classified.

Sounds like they're masking this as "partial" mobilization in the same way they've masked their war as a "special military operation."

I planted a cherry tree and entered the wonderful world of ants.
Aphids come. Ants come and place a Badass Ant Bouncer on each cluster of leaves.
They stop the ladybugs coming and eating the aphids.
The ants then essentially ‘farm’ the aphids by letting them grow and consuming their sticking goodness.

It’s amazing.
Obviously we need to get rid of ants and introduce the ladybugs to help out cherry tree.

I am sure there is a natural way to do this but I am obsessed by their collective consciousness.

If I’m going to need to install and open specific software just to use Teams, then it’s probably going to be the Teams app itself.

The purpose of having it browser based is that I can have it quickly open in a tab in the window I’m already in and then close it again.

Other MS products work in my browser (Outlook for example) so why not Teams? I suspect because the Teams team is pretty understaffed.
Slack is designed for business use, i.e. you join with your company email address which is linked to a Slack organization for the company you work for (or you get invited to join as an external party)

where i live (western europe), the telco's overcharged for sms, making a decent conversation costs euros each. Whatsapp + wifi is free.

I heard that originally sms wasn't meant to be a consumer product, it was just so technicians could test or communicate. Then the telco's realized people like texting more than calling (people prefer async sometimes, weird because comms mainly developed from async to sync), and decided to charge a limb for it.
That is correct, if the first few records (a virtual block size sorta) (not sure how many off the top of my head) don't compress well, it assumes that the file is not compressible and just writes the data out skipping the compression step.

Many are, sure, the trick is to find something that appeals to you. Here's a few I recommend:

https://www.micropia.nl -- A museum of microscopic life. With actual living exhibits and a bunch of microscopes you can play with. They have a lab on site to maintain the exhibition. How cool is that?

https://www.teylersmuseum.nl/en -- Loads of old fashioned, steampunk-looking gadgets. Leyden jars, old microscopes in brass, that kind of thing.

https://www.hnf.de/start.html -- Heinz Nixdorf Museum, the largest computing museum. You get to play with a working phone exchange and a whole bunch of other stuff.

https://www.rmg.co.uk/cutty-sark -- Cool ship, and you can also have lunch under it, because the whole thing is suspended over people's heads. There's a huge and very nice park nearby too.

https://frammuseum.no/ -- Ship that was used in Arctic and Antarctic exploration

https://norskfolkemuseum.no/ -- Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. Close to the one above.

https://15kop.ru/en -- Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines. Probably not the best time to travel to Moscow, but maybe when things quiet down.
Does it keep track of the status of each task?

Imagine I run an app with three processes A, B, C. A runs perfectly, but B fails and halts the app. If I start the app again, is it going to know that A has been already executed? Or is A going to be executed again?
Proper awesome. Look closely and the world will inspire.
First, you can use a Chromebook in guest mode, no Google account required (as said), but they you need to log in to your accounts every time (probably not a problem for people like my mum who log in every time they use a computer, and log out of everything when they're done.

But more to the point, lock in is when you can't move your data to another system. You need a Google account to log in (these days that's not much different from Windows or Mac basically requiring MS/Mac accounts), but you don't need to use the account for anything else you do on the Chromebook; it's just a browser. If you want to, you can export any data that browser holds (passwords, bookmarks etc) and import into any other browser. That's not lock-in. Lock-in is forcing you to continue to use a particular vendor's product because getting out of it is too difficult (usually proprietary data formats ala MS Office, or not allowing cloud exports)
One thing that has been referenced but not really talked about is that Teams doesn't want to be a tool, but the complete solution.

With the built in SharePoint, and Office editors you can see that it is designed for a very particular use case. The problem is that most people on Hacker News are not just document sharing and editing. Most people are not doing this, and especially not in the half baked Office online tooling.

As a chat tool isn't not great. It isn't supposed to be a chat tool though, which is why it will never be good.

> They were humiliated, were dragged to Versailles to sign an armistice treaty and had to pay an insane reparation amount.

Technically the armistice is in Compiègne, the peace treaty is in Versailles (as revenge for the proclamation of the German empire there after the Franco-Prussian war), but yes, however

> Germany definitely understood they lost.

This is false. Germans were getting glorious victories propaganda up until Ludendorff said they can't win, and threw the hot potato at the Kaiser and a civilian government was formed to seek a peace. So from a citizen's perspective, there were privations but they were winning until suddenly there's a civilian government, communist rebels and we have surrendered (to be later humiliated). Germany wasn't occupied. The German people didn't understand they lost, really, and why. Hence Ludendorff's stab in the back myth and nationalism proliferated.

> Russia army has been mostly destroyed. Its economy is faltering. Its ability to wage war is greatly reduced. Its standing on the international scene forever diminished.

But Russians don't know that because they're being fed propaganda to the opposite effect. So if today Putin declares withdrawal, Russian people won't know what happened and why, so we'll be back at it in a few years time.

The point isn't to make Russia suffer for the humiliation, but Russians need to understand they've lost and all the horrors they've inflicted while losing. And yes, they should pay for it.
>European = We mistrust America, because they do crappy stuff that meant we had to pass GDPR.

Cryptocurrency collapse: Carnegie slams ‘scumbag’ crypto traders
I'm working with a client right now, trying to onboard them to O365 - I tried to push them the GSuite way (I prefer it, they prefer it, but their IT company is fixed on O365 and...other reasons) - so have been spending lots of time working with O365 from a top-down perspective.

Individually, things like MS Word / Excel work really brilliantly in the browser and as a cloud suite. But put them together and it's an absolutely clusterf*k.

The list of "apps" is absolutely enormous - and there is no coherent route between them, or consistency in operation. It looks like exactly what it is - a huge, overarching and insanely rich company just simply bought All The Things, slapped a bit of branding and a font on everything and then popped all the icons onto the same page. There's zero consistency, zero sense of how these things should be used together, zero explanation as to why you'd choose (say) Yammer over Teams, "Bookings" over Outlook calendars, or "Viva" over Sharepoint. The documentation is awful - again, not individually - sometimes this is ok - but the overall "this is the suite you're buying into, and here's how to use it" strategic overview. In fact it isn't awful, it's just simply non-existent.

This is before you even get to the absolute horribleness of the logging in / logging out / multiple windows opening / redirection hell user experience.

And then - layer on Teams on top of this - it is absolutely opaque about whether Teams is trying to be a sort of "glue" for all of the above (it fails) or a replacement (it fails) or a standalone thing (it mostly fails). There's a sort of half-assed attempt to make bits of Teams sort of work with bits of Sharepoint, but no, actually it turns out it doesn't, quite...

It's just such a weird thing. As I say, the individual experiences are sometimes quite good - Word is really excellent in-browser for example - but the overall piece is just absolutely insane. I'm slightly at a loss as to how to onboard and train organisations with few IT skills when a veteran like me (20+ years in the business) is absolutely baffled by it.
I wrote my own ideas of how it compares to APScheduler (and other alternatives) here: https://rocketry.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rocketry_vs_altern...

Note that this is my own opinions which probably are a bit biased. At the moment there are no built-in missed task launchers but it should be fairly easy to do such by creating a condition that checks the task run periods and whether the task did not ran the latest interval. This is not hard to do but the problem is that I haven't had time to document the time period utilities which are actually pretty extensive. I have plans and some prototypes to do pre-built a misfire condition which one can just add to any task using the OR operator.

There are 3 options for concurrent tasks: async, thread and process. Just change the execution argument of a task. Choose which suits you and remember there are pros and cons in each. All of them supports parameters etc.

Hans was below 2500 in 2021, that's IM level. A typical young IM is in the 2400-2500 range.

To be precise he was 2484 in 2021-Jan as you can verify here https://ratings.fide.com/profile/2093596/chart

Hence he went from IM level to Super GM level within 1 year and 9 month.

Another coincidence is that GM Maxim Dlugy, a coach of Hans, is a known cheater.

And the splitting of Teams/chat is really confusing. At least in my org the teams feature is rarely used, but we have chat groups for everything.

There is a repository mechanism to store the logs. The task logger is simply an extension of logging library. Seems my docs are slightly off on setting up the CSV repo but you can just add a RepoHandler (from redbird) to the logger called rocketry.task. At the moment there are MemoryRepo, CsvFileRepo, SQLRepo and MongoRepo.

You can find more finer details of the repo mechanics in Red Bird's docs: https://red-bird.readthedocs.io/.

And there are methods in the session to shut down or restart the scheduler in various ways. There is also a shut condition to end the scheduling when a condition is reached.
My DSLR camera has a mini HDMI out that you can use out of the box, doesn't require the camera to be in recording mode or such. It simply gives you the live video feed -- rather than having it write to SD card, having software on your computer decode the video & show the last frame there.

The only option I think (it's been a while) I had to vaguely enable is to have it not show the normal camera UI over HDMI, but that was a simple setting.

Having hardware emulate a SD card sounds like a niche product, if anything, whereas the only item I needed for my camera was a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.
