I worked at a French company for a while and witnessed what happens when they wanted to fire a manager. They just brazenly hired his replacement and had them work "along side" the unwanted manager and slowly removed his responsibilities. Everyone knew what was going on, and it was only about 3 months later they were leaving for another company.

There isn't one way to do 3d scanning. Unless you mean any method that involves taking 1 or more pictures is the same method.
I can confirm. It is extremely choppy and resource hungry for what it does. Since they use Flutter, the UI is rendered using 119 canvas elements. The same thing could be implemented using the web platform (no flutter and no rust) with better results.

I think Gruber was simply wrong when he said this, off the top of my head, Line and Grab are pretty good candidates for "everything apps." There are probably more.

The logic behind the emergence of these apps is pretty simple. An app store is a walled garden everyone is forced to use. An app's popularity on the store is self-reinforcing, it tends to snowball. If you get a really big app going with a lot of installs, why not add more services to make more money from those installs? Then maybe all those services have some kind of referral incentive and you snowball even more...

There are different hurdles in different markets but I see absolutely no reason this concept couldn't take off in the West. (Bloat and bad UX would prevent it? That's a joke right?)
Yes, effectively the $50 are definitely not worth the hassle.

On debit cards, the statutory limit is actually significantly higher ($500) if you don't report the fraud within two business days, and unlimited after 60 days, but as you say, I don't know of any bank that actually makes use of that provision.

Safety usually means the program isn’t doing something wrong. You are thinking of liveness, which means the program continues to do something good.

If killing a process leaves the system in an unsafe state, that’s probably not the fault of the OOM killer. (What if the killed process was slow to start, or failed an assert and exited instead?)
It's actually an interesting analogy, because road design can have a great effect on the drivers - you can't prevent bad drivers, but you can mitigate issues (see: traffic calming, roundabouts, etc).

Similar things that were baked into the internet continue to provide dividends today, but it has to be intentional, and as more and more of the modern internet is designed by groups of companies rather than groups of academics it can shift.

> Front line strikes have limited value where the line is long and troop concentrations are dispersed.

The Russians failed to strike RADAR, air-defenses, airplanes / fighters, drones, helicopters, or any other powerful (and expensive) targets. They were unable to strike M777 or HIMARS, or ammunition depos.

This means that the Russians do not have the intelligence, or capability, to strike at military targets. Or they're too stupid to understand proper SEAD operations or why the ammo-dumps are useful to blow up.

------

Ukraine only has 120-ish M777 guns. Why didn't Russia just blow up all the M777 guns? Its not a big number. Or what about the 12 HIMARS launchers they're using? Its an incredibly small number of HIMARS.

Answer: Russia is incapable of doing so. They either don't have the intelligence to find them, or they are too well defended that Russia didn't think such strikes would be successful.

Unrelated to android, but I would just like to mention, that today best working implementation of linux on phones is Sailfish OS ( https://sailfishos.org/ - not connected with them all, but I use it as daily driver after years of searching; I was using angstrom distro on HTC Blueangel so you can imagine I have searched for long ). It would be really nice if the community would concentrate on one distribution instead supporting 674 of them and have none really usable.

They're only partly responsible. Management has a tendency to optimize everything and big structures/corps are rarely fine grained, they like synthetic and uniform rules that are easy to monitor. It's a subtle cultural shift.
> You know how many raises I got without changing jobs? Zero. You know how many promotions I got? Zero. You know how many bonuses I got? Zero. You know how much more work I got assigned? A TON.

And this is the problem - even away from SV. It was recently suggested to me that the only way to earn more in my current company is if I ended up managing a team (purpose not defined, reasoning unclear). I'm in a great company with great management by the way - or at least I think I am.

I asked, what if I make a material positive impact on the company or its finances? The initial answer was - everyone else is working hard too.

It didn't take long for me to find the exit, and the moment I did the tune changed. I think some managers/CEOs can also lose sight of the value of hard work especially when it can be linked to some positive gain for the company.
Why is the camera so bad? I know author says the sensor is bad but I suspect it is more than that. It amazes me to see what raw images look like coming off a CCD and then what software stacks like the one in the iPhone (and apparently Pixel) will do to get such an amazing final result.

I think there is a lot of secret sauce that perhaps is lacking in the Pine software stack.

Surely this won't turn into a political weapon and be used by people who want more control over society and politics to twist definitions of words to attack people they disagree with in order to avoid having a real conversation. It's abundantly obvious that if this was used to punish people who insist on a more authoritarian federal government or who openly hate people of european heritage online this would be an outrage to the usual suspects and not even given the light of day, the fact it's being applauded is a great indicator that this will be used to persecute people who dissent the federal government.

What exactly is precluding someone from building this today, regardless of the tumor?
That attitude is childish at best. If you're not happy with the wage, quit and go get it somewhere else. Employers would feel the pressure of "lack of labor" and wages would rise. Accepting a job and then deciding the wage is not enough for the duties you have to perform after the fact just slows the process down for everyone and usually puts extra work load on your colleagues.

I'm assuming of course that you mean what I ususally have seen which is "i arbitrarily decide how much work to do". If you mean this is just "not go above and beyond", then sure.

And that’s the difference between us. If my car disappeared into the ether, I would immediately launch a series of ether-disappearing experiments, systematically trying larger and larger items and video recording the results. I would post these to HN, admittedly in the hopes of going viral while also doing my best to move science forward.

Not just any company, the article clearly states this is about preventing cohesion between China’s “private” sector and their military. Given that drones are being successfully used in Ukirane to fight Russia, how much of the market share DJI controls, and how good they are at making them in the first place… it does make sense from a strategic standpoint.

Totally off topic, but I don't think the events will be "unforeseen". There are so many plausible predictions of what the future will hold, it's unlikely we will be surprised. At least, science fiction readers won't be surprised. My personal bet is that Star Trek has the closest thing to accurate future-history. We go through some really bad times, then master fusion technology and suddenly there is enough of everything to go around. Clearly we have a lot of growing to do before being in a post-scarcity world means that everyone is well cared for. Fingers crossed.

Now that Ethereum moved to Proof of Stake, the price of high end graphics cards has descended from the stratosphere. A 12GiB 3080 is around $700USD, that's $300-500 cheaper than an Index or Vive Pro. VR will be dominated by whatever the market will bear, which seems to be mostly Oculus and PSVR. VR is great, but it will always be niche because it is incredibly isolating from the environment and other people. That is the main disadvantage, not the canard of "low quality graphics".

Another example is Redis. Redis crashes are usually hardware bugs. This is why Redis includes a memory tester, which is run on crashes, so that it does not receive spurious bug reports.

Ask HN: Am I spoiled by SQLAlchemy and Alembic?
Looking at creating a new application that will need a local SQLite database. With my background with Flask/SQLAlchemy/Alembic, although not able to use that tech stack here, I thought I'd find a plethora of ORMs (I did) and code-native database migration tools (I did not).

I did find some migration tech (good to see Redgate is still going) but the nice thing about Alembic is you can change your SQLAlchemy schema objects, run a command and it generates you up and down migration code for them, which you can then review/tweak as needed. This in my experience is pretty bulletproof. Most tools seem to require you to write SQL in the migration blocks, which to me introduces a source of error that would require much more testing.

Am I spoiled? Or is there a host of tools out there that do this? I've seen GORM has a migration tool, but what about Java's Hibernate, or any ORM for Swift/Kotlin?
The article is clearly talking about centralized everything apps. I mean most of their complaints are about a private company dominating the whole market. If we want to talk about a generalized idea of an everything app that includes something decentralized like the internet, then I think we'll have mooted most of their concerns.

The internet is not an everything ‘app’ in the sense that it’s built/controlled by one firm. The reason the internet is good for liberal democracy is that it’s (declining) openness creates very low barriers for entry, free innovation undermines market power and architecture limits state power.

Stuff that changes that nature of the internet presents the danger to liberal democracy.
Haven't tried all too many methods, a lot of the standard approaches go out the window due to the sheer size of the graph means it can't be loaded into most tools. Got 12 million nodes and 40 million edges. Tried to load it into numpy, but that was no good at all. Gonna have to code up some dimensionality reduction algorithm if I want standard tools like that.

Sports betting in casinos has been around for a long time in Vegas but it never caught on the way, say, slot machines have. For a long time most people who bet on sports bet illegally by calling their bookie on the phone. Legal sports betting in Nevada made it possible for people who set lines and point spreads to hang their shingle even if the betting parlors were poorly attended.

The UK experience has shown how sports betting is popular as something spontaneous that fits into life, watching the game, etc. Mobile scratches that itch. For that matter, Sinclair broadcasting is interested in the ATSC 3 standard because it lets you transfer a web "player" to a TV set that could support sports betting through the remote control:

https://www.tvrev.com/news/broadcasting-atsc-3-gambling-nab-...

For many people sports betting is good clean fun that helps people get more fun out of the game, but for other people it is a dangerous behavioral addiction.

The thing about addiction is that addicts really need to get away from temptation to come clean. It is easy to keep away from the casino but with gambling in your pocket, advertised at the ballpark, advertised on the broadcast and even embedded in the broadcast, it's going to be very hard for people... A person with a gambling problem may have to stop watching sports entirely, which is a shame.

Companies need to figure out how to convert illiquid equity into actual liquidity. I don't get how it is fair founders get to sell their shares but employees don't. It's probably why startups are majorly lacking in really senior talent: only newbies think startups will do right by them.

I agree with your view of PayPal's proper role, but as a private business, if they want to choose not to do business with neo-nazis and ilk, that's entirely within their legal rights, and many would say it's morally justifiable too.

What I take issue with more than anything else is the idea of a private business expropriating money from people based on the contents of their speech, as a change of contractual policy, buried deep in the terms of service, that many laypeople cannot be reasonably expected to read and comprehensively understand.

I'm also concerned about this policy being weaponized by bad actors. Say someone impersonates a PayPal user online and posts genuine hate speech, complete with calls to violence. Or someone sends a payment to an innocent PayPal user with a memo that implies the PayPal user was engaged in hateful or malicious conduct. What happens when someone is having a mental health crisis and says some awful things on Twitter due to genuine mental health issues? What happens if a PayPal user's online account on another platform is hacked and used to post hateful content? What safeguards are in place to ensure that only those who are actually guilty are financially penalized?
I am pretty sure I saw real-time bets like that before. (Can't remember if it was DK or FD). But I can only see it working if you are at the live event. Live TV has too much of a delay.

> It's because Ukraine has no military infrastructure to speak of, anymore

That seems unlikely. We know that the Ukrainians are launching hundreds of HIMARS rockets, drones, M777 artillery strikes, and more. Those weapons are stored _somewhere_, and its intelligence's job to find them.

When an ammo-dump blows up, we know what it looks like. The Russians are incapable of hitting ammo dumps (or unwilling). Either way, it just means that the Ukrainian military will continue to use HIMARS / M777 artillery to push the front line further.

At a minimum, if these attacks were truly "successful", then the HIMARS / M777 attacks would stop. But... they won't. Its blatantly obvious that Ukraine wasn't hiding their HIMARS in an open playground in Kyiv.

---------

So while Russia continues to attack dog-parks and universities, Ukraine continues to attack training centers, command posts, ammo dumps, and supply routes.

The difference is palpable. Its clear who is winning the war.

I'm not sure if there's a real response to these Russian terror attacks unfortunately. But Ukraine seems like they'll inevitably be able to recapture the land at this rate, if the Russians really have such crappy intelligence that they wasted these missiles on such unimportant targets.
I suspect though that that is a shortened version of the interaction.

If they were accused of racism for saying someone was black rather than a person of colour, and they said that was silly. That seems more reasonable.

And while perhaps being rude, I don't think being of a certain colour gives or removes any authority or expertise you may have on the subject. If you want to identify as purple, can I not comment unless I also identify as purple?

I usually use JavaScript, but C/Zig when I need that kind of power, because you can't get that power in Rust either without unsafe. Rust makes sense as a replacement for C++, it doesn't make sense as a replacement for JavaScript or C. It's definitely not the jack of all trades like people treat it, though it is definitely a master of none.

As a cult it is fairly benign at least, most projects don't need Rust, but it's your time and money you are wasting. People like wasting time mucking around with tools as if they are anything but the means to do something more important.
