Relative VOC measurements at least are able to detect a no. 2 in nappies. Great to distinguish if you should go in and change them or would be a distraction from falling to sleep when checking. I bulit a Pi ZeroW that measures on the side of the bed and publishes a curve of the last hour of the values. You can see a pretty salient drop when "it" happens.

Eh, must have failed to push it organization-wide.
> Is it there so that when the finger stop moves, it registers the number?

No. Moving to the stop is just to wind up the mechanism up to a defined point. After being released the dial turns back at a defined speed, and creates a number short on-hook spikes, depending on far it has been wound up - the number to be dialed.

It's possible to quickly tap the hook to dial a number, too. It's easy for low numbers, but the dial helps the slow ones of us to tap exactly 9 clicks in the defined time to dial a 9.

No idea if that un-smartphone works exactly like the real thing.
Due to Earthquakes, California asks that you have at least 3 days of supplies on hand at all times, with 7 days of supplies being prefered and 14 days of supplies being the best. Same thing from my county and city. They all know that when "The Big One" hits, your average citizen is going to be on their own for at least a couple of days.
Why would this title bring in superheroes?!? lol
Proton offers some of this effect also: Wine/Proton is pretty good at playing lots of old Windows stuff, in some cases better than actual Windows is.

Leetcode problems doesn't mean leetcode.com problems in a narrow sense (aka copy paste).

It means reasonably complex algorithmic and data structure problems you're supposed to solve by coding under pressure, quickly, in interview conditions.

And if you think that's not happening, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Interesting. Details of the use of Go are rather scant.
Meh, I can do a URL shortener in my sleep, but I'd have to study to beat a leetcode test.
"scale and backing?"

The just ended it because it didn't scale.
Of course some don't behave predictably. That's why there are collisions. My advice still stands. If you don't want others to drive into you, behaving predictably greatly improves your odds.
As someone who spent 5 years doing Python professionally, Nim caught my eye a few times, but I finally gave it a shot, there's quite a bit of sweet little gems for it. I think it has a lot of potential. Their official forums are a custom nim based alternative to Discourse.

I hope it continues to grow over time.
EDIT: ignore me, I thought this was about WeChat, the Chinese messaging app, not weechat, the IRC client :(

> rich embedded media like images and videos

Yes

> live stream games to your friends on it

no (there's WeChat livestream (idk what it's called in English), but it's not discord style stream-your-desktop)

> talk with people

yes

> have profile avatars

yes

> use emotes

yes

> build bots that stream music to you

yes

> Even something completely simple such as snip a portion of your screen and paste it in the chatbox so others can see it immediately, without having to mess around with dodgy image upload sites

yes? you can paste stuff into wechat just fine. Think WhatsApp, not IRC

Idk where GP came up with 18MB tho, it's eating up 100 on my laptop right now.
> It ALMOST worked, but the peace talks in march ended being cancelled by the Ukrainian side.

This is a Russian talking point that has been getting spread around the internet lately. Those talks failed because Putin refused to negotiate on a few key items, and it quickly became apparent that he was trying to use those talks to buy time to regroup his forces after the initial invasion. But lately, right wing leaning news sources are now taking a quote from Boris Johnson out of context to try and frame the failure of those talks as some Western conspiracy to prolong the war.

I see Uffizzi could fit perfectly on any of our projects workflow, worth to invest some time to set everything in place, to save later on the road time and headaches using on demand previews
Azure became interesting when it got better integrated into the Windows/AD/Office worlds. You're not having to manually integrate so much anymore.

The way for GCP to compete is to give customers (presumably high level customers) some real deep integration into Search/Gmail/YouTube/Ads/Drive/Maps, including data. That would not only be a killer differentiating feature, it would signal to everyone that Google is serious and won't shut this down on you like they did all those other services.

They probably won't do that, but I'm not sure why they really want to run GCP if not. If they're not going to give customers something only Google can give them, I don't see them capturing much more of the market.
I moved to country where the o my noise I hear at night is a bubbling stream. Still get insomnia. So YMMV
To me it looks like they tried to copy TikTok, with loads of ads and turned a decent product into something no one wants to use.
There is no if statement in the hot loop or in the kernel thread so there is no performance cost there.

The multiplexing thread is separate to the kernel thread so you could say it's 1:M:N thread scheduling. I should have been clearer in my comment. There is 3 types of threads.

The multiplexing thread timeslices the preemption of the lightweight threads and kernel threads every 10 milliseconds. That is it stops all the loops in the lightweight thread and in the lightweight thread and causes the next lightweight thread to execute.

So there is no overhead except for a structure variable retrieval in the loop body

Rather than

For(int I = 0; I < 1000000; I++) {

}

We have

Register_loop(thread_loops, 0, 0, 1000000);

For(; thread_loops[0].index < thread_loops[0].limit; thread_loops[0].index++) {

}

Handle_virtual_interrupt()

And in the thread multiplexer scheduler, we do this

thread_loops[0].index = thread_loops[0].limit
They're still a dominant player in a 2 sided market. They still have traffic (within their site + ad network) and buyers (people wanting to place ads). Even if we remove all user tracking and nuke all attribution they're still going to make a lot of money. It will shift to more national type ad campaigns and/or targeting based on page content.
Do you think the Digital Markets Act in the E.U. had anything to do with this?

This is beyond illogical.

Funny enough, having nuclear weapons is the best way BAR NONE to avoid becoming a nuclear (or any other kind of) battlefield.
We can't even define consciousness or sentience in a useful way though. You can't decide except for extremes, people propose inadequate definitions that include say brick, flowers, ants, honeybees, cars, people in a spectrum.
French nuclear reactor can vary their power +-80% in 30min (article in french https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suivi_de_charge)
Like being inteligent enough to prolong nuclear reactor runtimes, signing LNG deals with the UAE, fillong up gas reservoirs faster than anticipated, pushing for military aide for Ukraine, figuring out fallback plans for potential gas shortages?

Yeah, absolutely stupid things to do in the current situation.
This is getting asymptotic.
> For example, if you receive an event to your webhook and you want that webhook to fire again at the same time tomorrow, make a new call to Jiter and create a new event when you receive the first event and you can chain them together.

Hmm, that feels like a brittle solution. As soon as one webhook delivery fails, or the webhook receiver has a temporary problem and throws an error, the chain of callbacks is cut. And so the user has to monitor that. It also gets messy if the user needs a more complex schedule than "every x <time units>".
You accuse other of irrationality, yet you prop up a straw-man that's been debunked over and over again.

Nobody argues that renewables deliver peak power all of the time. The goal is to have enough capacity and intermediary storage to be able to deliver constant peak power with both combined.

The current economic situation would be much better had we spend all our money on renewables and storage instead of nuclear and gas, which ultimately end up fueling the very regimes that give us trouble e.g. saudi arabia, iran, russia, instead conservatives implemented arbitrary constraints like the solar cap and maximum wind farm distance.

Solar is already the cheapest form of energy per watt produced, investing into any other technology than the cheapest and most sustainable one is what's irrational.
The nash equilibrium is defined by a strategy that cannot be improved by changing your own strategy, assuming the other players' strategies stay the same.

Agent 1 doesn't care if Agent 2 and 3 win less than him, he only feels a strategy is better than the Nash strategy if his expected score becomes higher than .296, which your simulation seems to show has not been achieved.
There's a fun problem with this.

No other company in the world has workloads that match Google's. So there are two options. You can spend a shitload of money making GCP actually work for the ridiculous needs of google3 applications and then actually get everybody to use GCP rather that using borg directly or you can not spend that money building all the infrastructure to do things that borg already does and has zero external customers.

Turns out the latter is attractive.
"we'll make sure you have a way to play your games even if stadia shuts down" would have also been acceptable and would have guaranteed much more good will.

But they failed to adequately engage devs or their customers' desires in the first place, so such an arrangement would have been a comparatively impossible licensing and product goal for them.
IDK why this is so contentious for folks, it probably varies by team, role, or something else.
DOesn't matter how much cash they have. Ownership will demand cuts if earnings fall.
It's an important point to understand that it's not the flexibility to kill it but the flexibility to divert its resources elsewhere.

You lose that with OSS projects because you eventually end up with people screaming down your door and the visibility that brings. Also being assigned to work on these projects internally is career death. Both of these problems happened to Google Cloud's Terraform provider at some point and it was a headache for the company and the community.

Luckily Terraform adoption is out of Google's hands. They're just forced to play ball. OTOH, Google could easily kill off Flutter via other means.
I wouldn’t describe most of the interviewing body in software as “highly technical” that’s why there is such an issue of finding qualified talent. I’d personally bet a good deal of people would not and did not understand what they were getting themselves into.

Tech has become popular because of the salaries, the amount of people interviewing has heavily increased, but the talent levels are quite diluted. Especially because any engineer worth their salt is off the market in under a month right now, if not shorter.
291 titles. Not great, not terrible.

> Now, this is the internet, so surely there will be plenty of people in this topic willing to disbelieve their governments.

Can you even imagine? Degenerates who don’t trust their own governments? Verräter.

Being mildly skeptical of one government is... fine... but two who are allies? Eight who are allies? The official Nato position? Surely, at some point they all become infallible.

Don’t discredit your own fatherland, mensch.
We should just rename Internet to Infinite Jest.

I mean, there are some theories that the mental illness epidemic is partially caused by internet use. I did strict 2 months Internet fast and I can attest it has a healing effect. Does it have entertainment-to-death effect? I guess there is a bigger than expected number of suicides that wouldn't happen have the people not been addicted to Internet. But I agree with every passing year we are moving further and further into entertainment-to-death with our civilisations.

Makes me kinda sad to work in tech industry.
I've been wondering about private server design. These games mostly use UDP, right? So does that mean the server has to be written in Java or C++? Also does the server need to be very fast, again requiring near-native performance with Java? Seems like inventory management and chat could be simple HTTP API calls, but player movement is a whole different level of complexity.

Ah OK, if you don't want to transfer your work before you see outcomes, I think it makes sense to hold off on starting a new company with them, especially since they are a consulting company (which is a totally different business). I would probably engage them as contractors initially -- if the relationship is going well, then perhaps you can create a new company. I'm having trouble understanding why you would roll your product into an existing consulting company.
The maximum compression for a video file of a movie is its script.

Sorry but from the perspective of Central Europe, the times when Russian and Germany are friendly, have been the most dreadful. We barely avoided it this time.
> Do you seriously struggle to think of possible reasons for why someone would want to work for Meta?

Yes, I struggle to think of a good reason to work for such a harmful company as Meta. People usually don't land there because of a desperate need for money, which would probably be one of the very few acceptable reasons for joining that company.

And why should my question be in good faith? Why should we not call out people who cheerfully join organizations that pose a threat to our future, and show no civic responsibility?
I think that's an uncharitable way of reading this. Looking at the UI the TLDR is pretty clear, plus there's the friction of putting down a credit card.
Very sincerely, you must read just about zero tech news. Google has been infamous for this ever since they shut down Google Reader in 2013. For about the past 10 years they are a company adrift that can no longer launch new products without getting absolutely ridiculed. Everyday consumers have lost their faith in the company because they are so used to getting jerked around anything G. People I know wont touch a G chat app because they know it wont last 6 months.
Personally, I just use brew to install SoX on Ubuntu.

The downvote arrow as slowly become a "truths I don't want to hear" button on HN.

Too much cheap money and a grow at any costs mentality has lead to exactly this is problem where every tech company is very tightly coupled with every other tech company.

I'm in the B2B space for one of the many non-profitable, recently IPO'd companies. As far as companies goes, this one is pretty sane. Healthy growth, a product that makes sense, thoughtful leadership. However when I look at our customers the vast majority are small tech startups, many of which will obviously cease to exist in a down turn.

When I look at our spending, it's mostly to other larger tech companies, those big tech companies everyone wants to work for.

But those small startups, that have weird products that don't make sense, price sensitive customers, unsustainable growth and crazy leadership, they make up a huge amount of our revenue. When they start to collapse, we'll have to downsize, both in headcount and in services we pay for. And we won't be alone.

On top of that, I look at my own spending. My other tech friends and I have no problem paying what would have been crazy amounts for services like Door Dash, or a constant stream of slightly over price but so convenient stuff from Amazon. Why not subscribe to another streaming services, it's only $10/month. So many of these direct to consumer companies mostly exist because of highly paid techworkers that have more cash than they need.

I get laid off I'll just pick up my food myself, I'm not going to be ordering everything of Amazon, I'm cancelling all but my most active subscriptions.

There are a lot of positive feedbacks in the current tech ecosystem what will continue to be triggered and continue to bring down the massive, massive tech bubble we're in.
If they are ex-Google now then presumably they had to train a new alternative to LaMBDA from scratch.
I don't have anything against Bruce Willis as an actor, but ... do we really need to keep him "alive" as an actor? I can understand "faking" Princess Leia because of the Star Wars canon, but why keep Willis (or Tupac, for that matter) around? Plenty of other good actors and musicians out there.
Of course, none of this will change the fact Russia has enough nukes to hold the world hostage...
I'm somewhere between impressed and (as a Xoogler) depressed.
That would probably reduce the total value, so there are some disincentives.
Anonymously authored research is very ominous.
No, what is sent to Seversk is not just the spent fuel, but also radioactive material that was used during the treatment of the spent fuel.

No, the fuel cycle doesn't depend on Seversk, the contract from EDF was signed in 2018 (and EDF says that nothing was sent yet)

No, this is not even the fuel cycle, Orano signed a contract with Rosatom so that they could send spent URT and Rosatom uses it for their own reactors. Literally selling spent fuel (instead of burying it)

No, you are lying, there are plans both for long term storage (Cigeo) and for low radioactive waste which the Andra handles. (https://www.irsn.fr/FR/connaissances/Installations_nucleaire...)

No, you are lying once again. The uranium deposits are not worth exploiting because it is currently cheaper to get mines in say, Niger, but Europe still has large potential mining sites, and extracting it from lignite is easy.

So, no, your sources are Greenpeace and are lying.
Self driving will likely grow to a point where driving will become an art, sport or a hobby but outside self driving traffic. For movies and music it could be similar in some ways. When the next generations will be raised by AI they will adapt their taste as well. Classical driving or music or films won’t completely die off but would become a niche thing.
IMHO not a minor strength, getting pixel perfect designs when SVGs are involved in Figma is near impossible, they are rendered in a very different way and in some cases the differences are huge.
Increasing complexity decreases resiliency and reliability.

Patching out these checks has existed for literally decades.

Even in the 90's (And possibly 80's and before), this was common. Games distributed on floppies would have a check that involved asking you what the 13th word of page 4 of the manual was, or would have some sort of decoder wheel. And it wasn't hard to find cracked versions that had those checks patched out.

When games started coming on CDs, there were copy protection tricks that could detect if the game was running from an ISO image (via Daemon Tools or something) or even a copied disc, and those were all patched out.

GameCopyWorld was a very popular website in the early '00s. It served up these cracked versions of games. How it still exists is beyond me, tbh.
> iOS privacy has killed facebook advertisements

A problem I see with FB is that they don't control anything on which they run. They run on stuff from their competitors: it's either Google (Chrome / Android), Microsot (Windows / Edge) or Apple (OS X / Safari / iOS).

Despite the downturn these three behemoths are still enjoying a market cap in the trillion+. Meta is actually down to $360 bn. Meta controls neither the OS nor the browser.

They want to change that by having people switching en masse to the Metaverse but I'm really not sure this is happening.
