I would hard disagree. Tools like Figma are humongous force multipliers. Using a less useful tool will cost you money. There's an ROI calculation with everything, and they may be overpaying for a few of these, but the list of tools looks pretty on the money to me. Dependency on tools is a risk, but dependency on people is a lot riskier. Institutional knowledge is a bane on maintainability.

That being said, what I think you may be getting at is not so much the reliance on tools but the loss of ownership of your own data and your platform. That's a real thing I would worry about, but I don't think anything in this stack runs that risk. If you have locked yourself into a way of doing things or bought into a closed platform that hogs your data or your relationship with users (ie Apple App Store, Youtube, Patreon) then you're definitely tying a lead weight to your business. But everything on their list is stuff you can easily migrate off of when you outgrow them.

I do the using Xournal [1] which is tailor-made for creating annotations. It leaves the PDF as is, saving your edits to a sidecar file (*.xoj) which when loaded pulls in the original PDF. It exports edited documents to 'real' PDFs with selectable text etc.

Look at it another way: if each dependency makes them twice as efficient at each task, they're twice as efficient at everything with fewer people. Doubles efficiency and reduces overhead for a fraction of the cost.

Very much hear you about the amount of logic contained within API layers. That said, it actually hasn’t come up a lot so far. What we’re finding is that a lot of teams that have complex API-layer logic also end up landing their data in a data warehouse and replicating the API’s data model there. In those cases, we can use that as the source. For those that don’t have a dwh, we do actually support connecting to an API as a source, it just requires a bit more config and it’s less efficient and so we don’t promote it quite as much :).

As far as the tweet goes, there’s a couple points we might disagree with. One of the assumptions made is that the problem is solved by an outsourced third-party. That’s actually exactly what we want to change! We think the problem should be solved by a first-party (the software vendor), and we want to give them the tools to accomplish that. Another assumption in there is that companies who charge for dashboards wouldn’t do this because they’d lose money. If they charge for dashboards, they can also choose to charge for data exports.
It was a wee bit dense, but I appreciate the effort.

My naivete as a software guy is that the advancements and cost drop of computational modelling, ML/AI, and 3D printing could enable a small team of smart people the opportunity to "think outside the box".

Not sure about the relative importance, but save all also has active recall & interleaving. The encoding happens when you first learn something & create a card, and the active recall, spaced repetition & interleaving happens later when you review cards.

I wouldn't say a resolution from 300x244[0] to 3023x2456[1] is "slightly better." All things considered, it's pretty standard to use thumbnails in an article, but it definitely would be nice if they made the thumbnails directly link to the original resolution image.

Physical SIMs are microchips.
Golang is continuing to grow to serve this use case. Just like explicitly handling errors though- you'd be expected to explicitly handle null values if you want to be safe from them
I mentioned Tom Cruise because he's one of the biggest action/movie stars ever. We don't really have actors with that much pull anymore, and it's why I didn't mention someone like Kevin Hart or Jessie Eisenburgh or one of the Francos (I forget which). Someone like Robert Downey Jr. is ~5'9". Sure, he's older, but also the lead in some of the biggest action movies in history.

For sports, I think it's better to look at the reverse. Not every 7' person makes it to the NBA or is even good at basketball. But, there are plenty of relatively smaller players in the NBA who do well and some are even super stars. The classic example was Mugsy Bogues, but Steph Curry is 6'2" in sport where height is so important.

Pick a sport where height isn't necessarily a dominating factor like the NHL and there are plenty of players under 6'.
Knowledge (and art) creation itself requires access. Which was what Aaron Swartz was hoping to achieve in compiling JSTOR's archive. He was effectively politically assassinated for this.

Cory Doctorow's explored that topic in various aspects, including the sheer naked power grab and risk-shift of publishers, e.g., the NY Times's "reasonable agreement" which resulted in Doctorow shelving a planned essay for the newspaper:

Note that the copyright angle here is that:

[T]he contract came in, and it included a clause that I never signed: I had to indemnify the publisher against all claims related to my work, including any that the publisher decided, unilaterally, to settle. This magazine, published all over the world, had exposure to legal systems I knew nothing about, as well as legal systems that I knew all too well to be grossly authoritarian and terrible.

That is, any copyright infringement risk is borne by the author rather than the publisher, which as Doctorow notes:

[S]ince I have very few assets and very little savings, I was literally financially incapable of indemnifying them. Signing that clause might ruin my life and drive me to bankruptcy, but it wouldn't actually protect them in any way.

<https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/27/reps-and-warranties/#i-ag...>

That's literally a chilling effect on new authorship.

There's also the fact that there is now a "copyright hole" of extant published works still under copyright which are simply not available, see:

<https://digitalcommons.law.byu.edu/lawreview/vol2019/iss4/6/>

I strongly recommend Nina Paley's "Copyright is Brain Damage" TEDxMaastrict talk:

For me it is. Linux has great debugging tools, my favorite being valgrind, and I have used rr a few times, but when it comes to traditional debugging, still bad.

For me, gdb is a last resort tool, and none of its frontends satisfy me (Qt Creator is the least bad I tried). I generally prefer developing on Linux, but for me, the Visual Studio (not Code) debugger is the one thing that Windows does way better.
I have seen a video of someone doing just this on a car. I'm not sure if it was a commercial product or if it was something they hacked together.

>> "... and relatively small form factor..."

Small phones get a ton of love on HN, it's a perennial winner.

But as an anecdotal counterpoint, I am six foot seven with hands (and thumbs) to match, and never met a phone which seems even remotely too large. Even the most phablet-themed Androids with a reputation for cartoonishly giant screens strike me as pretty reasonable.

The trend towards ever-larger phones is great IMHO, I consider it compensation for a lifetime of airplane seats and whacking head on doorways etc.
Apparently some people received additional cash now in lieu of RSUs because of the administrative delay involved with the latter (e.g., board approval). For them, the raise itself changed.

Fluent Forever book has helped me a lot with Language learning. It shows you how to learn a language mainly using flashcards, apart from other things.

I'm recommending you some things that have completely changed my experience using Anki for language learning:

- Don't use translations. Use images instead. For learning how to say dictionary put a picture of a dictionary. It will be easier to remember. Also, you usually won't find a perfect translation for a word.

- Use cloze cards for grammar. Instead of learning the rules, understand them and put four sentences with placeholders and repeat them. This process will make this way of constructing sentences stuck in your head.
I would have expected the Library of Congress to have thousands or even millions of unidentified photographs, so I'm curious what the reasoning is behind these 17 receiving such special attention.
I’m not. You’re describing a spectrum from a traffic ticket in some states (CA will cite you for darkening) to a misdemeanor or even a felony for falsifying or obscuring your license plate. Yes, you can still buy darkeners in the areas they’re illegal, but nobody is going to invest in developing a misdemeanor machine for sale. There’s a difference between a sheet of dark plastic and an engineered device.

The digital plates thought of this in their design. You can think of them as frontend UIs for your jurisdiction’s motor vehicle authority, even though a private company is working on them. They will snitch when your tags lapse, both visually and electronically (that’s their purpose), and won’t let you do what you’re proposing if they’re designed correctly.
Let me know when you have a version for my platform.

I wonder if it'll be possible to do a reverse genealogy search from photos in the future. We have huge databases of faces, and I'd wager both Facebook and the department of transportation probably have sufficient parts of this tree to work with.

Facial phenotype correlates to genes, though stresses of life take their own independent toll.

Obviously some branches will wind up not producing children, but we might be able to look back quite a bit.

Does anyone know of research ongoing in this area?
The shocking thing about some of these comments is somehow they didn't consider that the original author spoke in a specific context.

Casey didn't say the world would be better with turns instead of radiants. He said that game engine code would be better with turns instead of radiants. Be more charitable.
Do you have reading material for that claim?
Learning is a graph. Remembering many modes will create the higher abstraction of learning the shape and the sometimes abstract properties of the graph.

If you read a book you might not remember the previous pages, but if you start in the middle you wont understand anything.

The nodes of knowledge might be forgotten, but its ok if you have the graph. The nodes of knowledge that were available to you initially might have been biased. Then you need to unlearn, that is often harder.
Looking at his big thread, there are a lot of small circumstantial facts that he thinks adds up. That may be, but it's very hard to judge if confirmation bias/multiple comparisons is at play.

The most serious claims mostly rely on the daughters' recollection. However, if they can be independently verified, I'd say the case is pretty strong:

* The daughter says he abused her over her dating and drug use. If her recollection can be trusted, that was on the same day as the first murders.

* The father wrote a letter to a zine in response to a guy whose daughter had been exposed to drugs, where he claims that he was in a similar situation once and that some people are no longer alive because of it. He asked the editor of the zine to not print that part, too (He still did). This part doesn't rely on the daughter's memory.

* Putting those two together, it does look an awful lot like he might have been about to kill his daughter, then changed his mind and went out to "get revenge" on some random youths who he felt were the sort responsible for corrupting his daughter instead.

I think this is the strongest part of the evidence, so I'd like to see the true crime nerds engage with that, rather than, say, with the suggestion that he got his symbol from the minutemen group, or any of the more speculative stuff.

Also, there's the bloody fingerprint stuff. It hasn't been checked for this guy yet, but it has apparently been checked and found not to match for the other candidates the true crime nerds have launched over the years; based on that I'd say this one is, presently, at least as good a candidate as those.
Neat, will remember if I really need a pdf.
I agree an employee should be cautious for the exact risks you outlined but I don't know if I'd say this is a function of any power dynamic. Employees should be saving such that they have 3 months of expenses saved away for this exact scenario. Between that, unemployment benefits, and any severance most people should be able to find a new job without "havoc" on their lives.
Maybe you should look up the main author of age.

Yes, but we still all learn in roughly the same way. The differences aren't big enough.

A correction: the “emotion engine” referred to (at least before launch — perhaps they changed it) the GPU itself, which was the only Sony-designed silicon in the original PS/2. The TMPR and other silicon were designed and supplied by Toshiba.

Also notable: Original Playstation (AKA PS/1) compatibility was provided by simply putting a whole PS/1 on the board — I think it might even have been by then a single chip; if so likely Sony designed.

That was an insane project by an amazing team. I see a comment by me is top of the previous discussion, if you want some more snippets.
Fair point.

Has robot_head's comment been downweighted at all independent of member votes? If so, that would also be inappropriate.
thats's just silly.

Unreal Engine didn't deprecate ray tracing, they are using the same DirectX DXR APIs in a different place. But I think you already know that.

I sort of head up all "tech stuff" at my mid-sized church, including sound. (I also have played piano and bass, at times.) I had to talk my pastor into starting to use Sweetwater about 20 years ago. He was stuck on using some hole-in-the-wall shop in LA on Sunset. (Which I eventually visited, and, sure enough, every who's who has a signed headshot on their wall). But Sweetwater is in our back yard, and we've made the trip a couple of times, and there's just no comparison. Sweetwater's presence, with the rooms and the demos and the videos and every thing is just unbelievable. Anyway, the point I wanted to make was about salesmen. We've had the same one for 20 years, and he's always kept a close tab on us, and helped out whenever we've needed advice. It must be a great place to work to keep a salesman that long. They advertised hiring for programmers, and I'd LOVE to give them a shot, but I'd have to move, and I'm not ready for that. Kent? Love ya, man.
To learn a word or character, you need to be able to understand it immediately and be able to form a sentence with it without delay (at least not more than the occasional "uh..."). Remembering the meaning after some fiddling is not good enough.

That has to be achieved by actually practicing the language, either via listening, speaking, or writing.

Anki is there to help after that step by keeping you refreshed with the exact tones, strokes, multiple pronunciations or more ambiguous CJK characters etc. but it can't be the motor behind the process.

For spaced repetition, although it is a form of rote memorization, the key insight is that memory is formed through recall, not review. The system then (purportedly) hits you at the very moment you are about to forget the card. It's counter-intuitive but it's easier to encode things in long term memory by recalling them at that point as opposed to when it's still fresh in your mind.

This is analogous to studying in university via explaining things to yourself versus just highlighting and rereading the textbook. Every student knows the former is more effective.
> Another aspect you need to look at is why groups in the west wants women in STEM: For making a lot of money (“upwards mobility”, financial autonomy) and theoretically making products that factor in women/different audiences more. (The latter being new since influential tech companies is also new.)

My opinion is that I agree that money is the reason, but not in the way you described.

Think about basic supply and demand. What happens if you increase the supply of the workforce? Wages become surpressed.

That is why big tech is gung-ho trying to do everything they can to encourage more women into tech. I don't believe it's some great ethical crusade, I believe they want a bigger pool of employees to keep salaries as low as conceivably possible.
Note that there is quite a bit of shaky evidence used to further that point.

Yes scroll down to see the Cinebench R23 results at 65W.
Altavista was initially a demo of the capabilities of DEC Alpha CPUs. It was initially amazing. It got taken over by SEO rubbish, and beaten by Google who invented PageRank to get good results again.

PageRank was initially much less prone to SEO shenanigans because it relied on signals from other sites (incoming links) to decide how important a result was. Of course, as Google became more popular, people started sharing links on other pages and so on to cheat the PageRank algorithm. And Google have been caught in a fight with SEO ever since.

Not saying that your advice in any way wrong, but it's a bit sad that the only thing holding people back from such a productivity multiplier, innovation or even completely new way of coding is the inane interview process of this industry...
This may not be perfectly realistic, but it's getting close and can be made closer. Not long ago, replacing a dead 26" colour CRT (say, in an arcade game machine) with a suitably masked 4K LCD panel would have been ludicrous. But we're pretty much there now.

I thought when incandescent bulbs pretty much went away that I would miss the bare filament in a clear bulb look. I kind of do, but not much. I have a chandelier with the fake-filament LED type bulbs in it. Despite dubious cooling of the LEDs they seem to be holding up just fine in extended use, and while it doesn't look quite traditional, it's good enough.

And emulation of older video game systems has moved into the browser!
what a great, great question. it's a horrible term. really it means you have "no trust of the network, so you verify it before allowing connections"... The term is basically the OPPOSITE of what it is.

You use a strong identity and you verify that cryptographically verifiable identity before allowing connections to your network, then on top of that you have a separate authorization tier for that identity to access services.

it's a horrible term... :)
Tesla batteries are surprisingly durable. Even after 250,000 km, they average less than 10% degradation [0]. After 300,000 km, even 1 standard deviation is less than 20% degradation [1].

Of course, your mileage may vary. Degradation is influenced by many factors. Many believe that only charging on Superchargers increases degradation because high charging rates generate a lot of heat which is bad for the battery. Also, storing the car at 100% charge will as well. Elon denies both of those, but I don't believe him. I only charge my Model 3 to 70% for daily driving, and only use Superchargers on road trips. After 3 years and 20,000 miles, my battery is showing no degradation.

Spaced repetition is not the topic. The topic is memory and there are many solutions to trying to remember more, spaced repetition is just one of them. There's also things like elaboration, dual coding, mnemonics, memory palaces etc.
Yes, but at the moment it's still within the range of the previous 5 years, which is not a long time period. If it continues spiking at the same rate for weeks longer, then yes it will be unusual. But the fact that you don't have to go back very far to see multiple examples of spikes of this size or greater, means that as of this point it isn't yet that unusual.

If it keeps going for weeks at this rate, then it is a big deal, of course.
Ahhhh, I forget there's another.
You have to start somewhere?
That's also potentially true of proprietary software, though. Not every company will offer a support contract, so if that's what you need you need to pick other software. I agree that probably a smaller fraction of FOSS projects offer first-party support contracts, but on the other hand third-party support contracts are a lot more reasonable in the FOSS context.
