I see, very interesting.

Is this latency deterring enough that you prefer running things in your region and not prefer SaaS product which are generally hosted in US/EU?

Or is this just a discomfort which you deal with?
What's not being said is if there is an opportunity for founders to offer better and faster apps to car buyers? I know personally if there was an app for my vehicle that allowed me to have more features I'd probably get a yearly subscription to it.

(Follow-up) It's kinda exhausting reading here through comment after comment of armchair "entertainment venue economists" imagining how to maximize the profits for a single event, all the while forgetting the circumstances leading to event tickets being underpriced.

Circumstances such as the fact events are generally a part of tours, that the artists likely want a diverse audience, that event sales have side effects on future sales and marketing, etc etc.

Not specifically targeted at you, krn, but is it really so far-fetched to think that artists did think about the fact they'd still have sold out venues at a higher price point?

One reason for hiding paths is localisation. On modern Windows, the path will always be Pictures but it will be displayed with whatever the local translation is. On older versions (and, maybe, modern Windows on a machine upgraded from old versions?), the path was the localised name!

macOS is the same.

> he wrongfully claims their very way of life is under threat

Well, the Russian way of life seems to be to invade its neighbors, so yes, technically he's correct - sovereign well-defended neighbors are a threat to the Russian way of life.

Maybe it's high time they find a new, better way of life.
My mom is filing for divorce right now and my dad has been entirely financially dependent on her for the past 30 years. He was a homemaker, after all. I have been reflecting on this exact thought (specifically, women are not "loyal" and will abandon a partner that doesn't produce income or has some other shortcoming much more readily than men will). I used the "rats fleeing a sinking ship" metaphor when talking about it with my wife the other day.

That isn't to say I don't think they should be divorced. It's just what's on my mind.
>Surely you're not going to make your case on this petty a detail.

It's called pilpul and he obviously will.
Cost-benefit is easy to explain. Men with a low-tier liberal arts college degree fare far worse than men in the trades. A woman with any college degree at all, is a shoe-in for government or administrative jobs, and a woman with no college degree is likely claiming almost zero income in a tip-based role.
It's not a service, so Google can't even shut it down, only abandon.
I've been using bhyve to host an instance of Debian linux for a contract I'm working on, and set it up with cbsd, and it's been working really well! I love the fact that the guest VM's disk is a zfs filesystem on the host, it makes snapshotting (edit- ok maybe not, see below) and managing it super easy!

CBSD is fantastic but it can be a little hard to figure out due to a sometimes-shaky English translation, and the documentation is confusing for the same reason.

I've also had trouble getting it to work with regular BSD jails and have been using ezjail instead. And it seems both of these tools have some... expansive... ideas about how to spread out config data across the host machine's filesystem.

But they all work fantastic once they're configured!

It would be really cool if there were tools that brought them in line with docker, in terms of easy deployment and provisioning of new jails/vms. If I didn't have so many damn project ideas already...
The only good way to handle user data like photos is the way iOS does it. Strictly one place for images. If there is a path then the user doesn’t see it because they don’t need to see it. The storage and directory structure is an implementation detail.

The second best is a fully manual directory structure with no “surface” added. But this is not nearly as good for the average user.

By far the worst one is what you get when you (correctly) like Microsoft realize you are in the second category but you’d like to be in the first. The end result is an annoying middle ground that has plagued windows for a long time now. They probably (incorrectly) assumed they could get to the iOS situation eventually.

Separating the application and its binaries isn’t a bad idea though. I don’t want to back up applications, just their data, for example. And I want to be able to have different permissions for the app binaries and elsewhere. So programs\Quicken and data\Quicken would be better than the other way around. And this isn’t far from what windows does. If I create an app I put the user data in %appdata%\myprogram. The folder is annoyingly hard to find though but that’s more an explorer UX issue than a problem with how the files are stored.
>Trump conceded too

No, he didn't. After the January 6th assault on the Capitol (two full months after the election), he finally acknowledged that a new administration would be taking office. He did not concede that he had lost the election. He didn't do that until April of 2022, and even then he insisted that the election he lost was rigged.

If you can't figure out how biasing sales towards people who want to go to a concert is more meritorious than allowing people who want to resell for more than face in a context where "merit" is literally "wanting to see the show", you need to take a long hard sit and really think this one out.

You cannot have perfect system in real life, but you can move away from enabling people with no interest at all in the event to just those who at least had a cursory enough interest when they're not profiting.
Sure, examining value systems is good and we should certainly do that. That's not really relevant to the article or my response, though.
I still don’t understand. How does specializing on blue and red remove the noise from flickering sunlight? After all, when it flickers (say, because of shades or clouds), doesn’t that affect all wavelengths equally? Why should green light be more unstable in that regard than blue and red?
The sun barely looks different from an artificial blackbody of the same temperature. The atmosphere is not a big consideration here.
What's the size of the space of language covered by the Pornhub search engine?
There is some domain of concepts covered on pornhub.

If one is to search words such as "success" - one will receive titles such as: "100% success rate eating pu*y technique" and "our experiment with various bottles and success attempt to insert my most huge monster toys". These are covering only a small part of the meaning of the word "success", but they are still valid and they manage to retain the meaning.

Therefore, my question would be: how could we measure the domain of definition of all possible meanings from the pornhub search engine. Basically to find the "domain of knowledge".

Same we could with other more specialised libraries, such as academic, technical, popular etc.

Searching for "eating p**y" on google scholar results in: "Sustainable production of healthy, affordable food in the UK: The pros and cons of plasticulture" and "In the house of the interpreter: a memoir".

Cheers!
Do you truly mean this? Because if you do, the answer is to simply capitulate. There are lots of reasons not to do that but if your goal above all others is to lessen the potential for a nuclear exchange, it is the way to go. There are of course other consequences to capitulation but immediate nuclear war isn't one of them.
> if someone intentionally and knowingly engages in criminal acts.

Can you unintentionally and unknowingly engage in a criminal act?
Wow. That’s really interesting. I wonder to what extent this is because we use them for natural writing (like this)? Also, note that the various boxer-derivatives use complete enclosure. But that just looks busy and rigid. The parens have both enclosure and fluidity.
The non-trivial part here is actually the source data (the dict file.) It is also its pitfall - after adding 5 for S you should see a lithany of plurals. Most dict files (for English anyway) however seem to omit plural nouns. I guess the logic is that in English most plurals are regular, and the naive algorithm for deriving them from the singular forms (correctly most of the time) is quite trivial.
Ok, fair enough. So what does it mean? This is seen on local Windows accounts, but it's referring to Microsoft accounts. Sure looks like an attempt to "join" the two.
Sorry for being unappreciative but... is this... satire? I honestly don't know...

> The same number of people attend either way, so the same amount of non-monetary value is being received no matter what.

Well, no. Different people have different preferences, therefore assigning tickets to ones that prefer them most would create most non-monetary value.

I linked threads on LKML that are directly relevant to this subject, about how this (system becomes nonresponsive under memory pressure) is a real problem that people really experience, with a lot of people agreeing that it is a problem and suggesting various mitigations. Most of those ideas presuppose that memory pressure leads to stalls and are about figuring out how to detect when the system is stalled and making no progress and killing processes after it has gone on for a while (often with userspace daemons). I think MGLRU is maybe getting merged in linux 6.x and will hopefully help avoid the stalls.

you linked a list of all CVEs in macOS. I don't see how this is relevant at all.
No, g722 is still a wideband speech codec. Its available frequency goes up to 7 kHz. The uncompressed audio this thread began with goes up to 22 kHz. With g722 you're losing most overtones, or even all overtones from the top of a piano. Please don't use g722 for music apart from on-hold muzak.
Expensive to travel relative to what? A developer salary is probably at least 90k, so that's a 1% cost to get someone on site for a few days, all expenses paid.

Am I right in thinking that 4K and 8K are UHD 4K and UHD 8K?

The sun is classed as a green star[1]. As a black-body object, it emits the most light in the green spectrum. We see white because we evolved to distinguish color based on our star; however, our ability to detect variance in brightness in colors is far more limited.

We, in fact, use this to our advantage. View screens transmit exactly brightness in narrow red, green, and blue such to fool our eyes into believing we see colors there that are not in fact there, such as red and green light to simulate yellow light.

If you're senior, you should be able to leverage your experience with one stack to learn the basics of another stack. My advice would be to pick a couple of small projects that you've done in the stack you're experienced in and reimplement them in the targeted stack(s). If I were interviewing I’d expect you to be able to articulate the differences between the stacks and demonstrate that you can apply your existing experience to "our" stack, whatever it may be.
I forgot to mention TangoTek. If you want a real good time, watch their Friday Night Stabby Stabby streams (they play Among Us). It's got a great group including a lot of the above mentioned folks.
Yes! But a part of the Jitsi ecosystem enables recordings and whisper is a good candidate to use for these recorded sessions.

On that topic — they record sessions in an interesting way, basically an instance of chrome is started and captured... I think with OBS. That always made me raise an eye but I also can’t think of up a better way.

Wow that’s scary. Is there a way to share a video without that?
> Another major inconsistency in feminism is upholding the career woman ideal, yet women's preference is still that the man should be higher earning or more successful.

And here is why there is not a single feminism. I made two categories, but there is more, it is just easier for my brain. You have the "liberal" feminism, targeting equality, and the "traditional" feminism (inherited from Emma Goldman and other marxist and Marxist-adgascent like Beauvoir, so maybe calling it traditional is wrong. Postmodern Feminism?) targeting emancipation. Emancipation is not equality, it is just asking to have the possibility to do what you are able to do (aka firewoman, general, or pornstar).

Short story about emancipation and empowerment:

At first, i thought it was the same. That the French "émanciper" was translated as "empowered", and did not go further. Then like 8 years ago (i was still a lib at the time), i've heard at the radio "We don't have an equivalent in French, this is the idea of empowerment". So i looked into the difference between emancipation and empowerment. Empowerment is practices to reach freedom for the self within the institutional structures, and emancipation, is a process of freedom for the self and others in society through challenging and changing the existing structures of power. Giorgia Meloni and Simone Veil.
Oh, I like this. A pure syntactic sugar over a language that otherwise preserves semantics is neat. Nice work on documenting what was kept/changed/removed too. Really easy to see at a glance what the project is all about.

Well I don’t write blogs. Or read much. Or write literary reviews. But let’s pick two.

The odyssey is a very old classic. The framework of the adventure is still great. But Odysseus is a supremacist dick. He’s pretty similar to MCU Iron Man in terms of narrative and depth. We get the sense that it’s ok to kill the people in his home at the end because he is mighty Odysseus but I think that’s pretty lame. I could go on but it’s been too long to cite examples from memory.

A tale of two cities was another one I enjoyed a lot as a teen. The sloppy romanticism of the dude who devotes his life to a love he will never have seemed really quaint, but now seems just pathetic. I’m actually really annoyed when I see behavior like this in fiction now. It’s very frequent in token gay characters because a lot of writers seem to assume that gay people fall in love with straight people and can never get over it.

Stuff that’s resonated with me at a more thematic level recently… let’s say Parasite (Korean film), Mob Psycho 100 (anime, season 1), Over the Garden Wall, Bojack Horseman, and the midnight gospel. Not very universal, but they felt more relevant and more profound. The last one cheating a bit as it’s literally philosophical interviews.

Good literature is entertaining and conveys some greater meaning. Classics tend to do a pretty good job on this, but entertainment and thematic relevance she over time quite a bit.

The original SpongeBob SquarePants movie was a copy of the odyssey’s plot for entertainment but focused on a coming of age theme of what it means to be an adult and whether it was something to strive for. Dare I ask which of the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and the Odyssey is a better piece of literature for a 21st century kid?

I think it’s a harder question than many would give credit. But I think regardless we should be more eager to discuss thematic comprehension of art with children for the stuff they watch. Because I spent a few years in school writing essays about how every book contained the theme of “Caring” and man that was fucking dumb.
That's correct - as long as she can't shrink the government and reduce spending.

From my experience, governments rarely get something done, so it's unlikely she will have enough political power to cut the government down.

I'm not following the UK news, but it sounds to me like she cut down taxes to create an emergency situation and force the political apparatus to cut down on spending or face record high debt.

Hats off if it works: if it doesn't, I think western governments are doomed to grow larger and larger until their host country collapses, productive people flee somewhere else and who's left will rebuild a smaller government from the ashes starting the cycle again.
>Now that territories are “officially” part of russia putin can claim the country itself is under attack. Apparently that’s the only “legal” way he can use nukes.

I think you're missing two variables that could lower odds of the event of using nuclear weapons:

- Ukraine has already attacked Russian territory (Belgorod), and occupied territory (Crimea);

- Russia has broken a lot of of laws (national and international), treaties, agreements, contracts... I don't think being "legal" is a deterrent for anything. They can do what they want;

They use this threat because they have nothing else at this time, and it's their last card.
Well, the train didn't have the (notional) token, so the signal was correctly at danger. Which is the 1800s solution to the problem (absolute block signaling). And in the 19th century it was also difficult to reach train drivers who passed signals at danger, due to a lack of radios etc., which did cause accidents when signals failed or drivers passed them at danger.

Box-to-train emergency communication was itself definitely a solved problem by the mid 20th century, though...
Nice to see projects like this reach their 1.0 milestone, even if the quality has already been there for quite a while.
IMHO you missed the point of the article... it says that rationality on itself only can lead to progress in the light of virtues (rules of what is 'right'). Without those as a starting point, there can be no reasoning. Hence reasoning/rationalizing depends on the irrational, ie. subjective virtues, dogmas as it were.

Ask HN: Suggestions for FE resources on canvas/WebGL
I'm looking for how to create a UI experience similar to Google Maps/Miro/Figma, etc. where you have a display size that's separate from the contents of the canvas and you can provide (native?) zoom/pan for the contents without zooming on other elements on the page.

It seems to work by using canvas under the hood and it seems to involve WebGL too. I'm not well versed in either and I'm looking for something, preferably project-based to get me a good nudge in this direction.

My use case is simpler than these products. I have a set of images (PNGs) I want to show a user one after another while they can zoom/pan to any image but want to use native zoom/pan without zooming into other elements on the page.

Any resources, courses, projects, libraries, github/gist/stackoverflow/HN links, etc. are much appreciated!
So if I've got two computers, each with a port labelled 40 Gbps and a USB cable labelled 40 Gbps, what's the protocol I can use to copy files at close to that?

Cloud services usually have global availability, you choose where you host.

A lot of people in Europe are using European datacenters.

That is not to say there's no issues: The consoles can be unbearably slow at times. (Google Cloud being probably the worst offender in my experience, despite being a fan otherwise).

Amazon supports consoles in other regions, but if you use `console.aws.amazon.com` then it is us-east; it doesn't automatically change it for you.

Here's the list: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/mgmt-console.h...

Regarding making Cloud less interesting:

Europe basically follows whatever SV is doing, to make a crass comment: an article could be produced from SV saying eating poop would make better engineering and European "tech" companies would assuredly start buying up the sewage systems.

Even when it doesn't make sense; we seem to follow.
Can the models used for brain-signal interpretation be used as ML algos?
I read a few days ago that the abstract of an article talking about some success in mapping the brain signals to a vocabulary of words.

That made me think that this model should be able to work on 2 images with an apple also.

If not, why wouldn't it?
