> someone that has enthusiasm and a skill set could surely pick that up as they go.

Sounds like the early days of Teach For America where enthusiasm will mostly get you between a few days and few years of service.

I think it’s pretty complicated to measure the effect of teachers in lots of context, let alone with respect to educational attainment.

The exception is at the intervention level: Teachers who learned X technique for improving Y skill improved Y skill at a higher occurrence than teachers who did not learn X technique.

Even for interventions you need to develop understanding of childhood/adolescent cognitive and emotional development in order to communicate effectively. Maybe enthusiasm gets you there organically through experience, maybe you quit.

Certainly in an otherwise pristine learning environment, enthusiasm for learning itself is a baseline desirable trait.
My previous employer did this. Was crazy what we saved by optimizing. Come to find out “lift and shift” without making your app cloud ready is expensive. Also network io is expensive at scale. Not super fun work tbh.
This happens for recessions, and also inflation: "Shit, inflation is way up! We better raise prices/salaries stat!"
I found the sideswiping way too sensitive on mobile: when I just want to swipe right once I go through two maybe three pages. To scroll right just once I need to make a concerted effort to swipe just the right amount.
fetishism of the military in America, especially the deep south
At the time, all of what we think of as the sea between Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, and on up to Thailand and Taiwan, and the whole South China and Yellow Seas up to Korea was all dry land, like a million square miles of it.

Borneo was high ground. Most of what was going on with humanity at the time, according to cave painting evidence, was there and is now almost all under water.

There is a hill on Java built over 20,000 years ago. Excavation was halted, by the Indonesian government, for reasons not expressed.
The keyboards in the different iOSes are definitely of varying quality.

It would be lovely to see the ios6/7 keyboard available as an installable option on modern iOS.

Even with the modern regressions it’s still way better than the Graphene keyboard.
This is in context to criticizing the israeli government. Don’t act obtuse.

You’re literally proving my point.
This seems like "acquired" in a different sense than we normally mean; it's more like an announcement of an investment round than an acquisition, right?

You bought the FSD feature as well? Still haven't been invited to beta but my bigger problem is the backup camera doesn't work due to a frayed cable and the cable has been back ordered for 11 months now. Musk never prioritizes his current customers. Need those cables for new cars.

What? lol

Listen, if I'm paying you a 1 time fee of $150K you better be contractually obligated to provide my expensive ass internet each and every month I want it.
If I’ve interpreted this correctly and this isn’t sarcasm, there is a Setting under Settings>General>Keyboard named [”.” shortcut”], that should disable this behavior.
SpaceX pays for service of ~14k terminals out of 25k and wartime service uses a lot more resources than regular business or residential grade.

Ubuntu was my first choice to make the jump from Windows. My current daily driver is Pop!OS, which seems equally user friendly to Ubuntu with minor differences in the details of usage.

I've been using Linux since RedHat 5.x "pocketbooks" with CDs were available at newsagencies (late nineties?), so I'm not scared of the prospect of having some fiddling to do in setting up OpenBSD. The main concern would be the availability of compatible apps that I use regularly.

The new branding just has Gbps and Watts. The problem is that 99% of USB cables seem to be unlabeled knockoffs; no branding system can solve that problem.
Yeah, all the conspiratorial anti-vax BS is just sad. There weren't millions of people killed by getting vaccinated, so all that pre-shot BS about the danger of a new vaccine didn't pan out - because they'd been testing it for years, and it wasn't actually dangerous.
They were, according to this, doing 20MM in 2020, which is surprisingly high for something like IDA. I think they mostly just don't want people like us as clients.
Most states want teachers who went through education programs which as -mainly- education and psychology classes. Sure some states with shortages are tryign to make up for that shortage with subject matter experts rather than education pros, but that's what they have to work with.
I don't know where you are carving out an exception. The entire page is about what happens with Apple Pay. It doesn't say anything about "card not present"

Further, the response is about a restaurant that has a website you have to use. The website offers Apple Pay as an option. If you pick it your email will be shared. It says so on the page itself.
God I hope people aren't building critical infrastructure off of PATs. Use an app please.
Timing. Midi jitter and latency.

DOS/Windows 3.1 is still good for timing sensitive applications.

Nowadays MIDI interfaces are usually USB. But an ISA card or a parallel port will yield better results.

On modern computers, MIDI generally feels slightly off, and not as musical, but for the most part 'good enough' for the vast majority.
They also own 2/3 of the US EV market (with all remaining automakers combined making the remaining third), but people love to shit on them all the time. Tesla is driving the EV revolution while the rest of the auto industry drags its feet.
Ask HN: Looking for a mentor as I move from dev to dev manager
I’ve been a developer for 20+ years. I’m moving into more of a managing role and I feel like im struggling to lead my team well.

I’ve read a few books and work to apply them but I think my biggest issue is letting go and trusting others.

Anyone else have this issue? How did you overcome it?

Would anyone be willing to mentor me?
Yep. I was raised moving a lot and assumed I'd do the same as an adult. But then I thought of how rarely my parents saw their parents. And how much I love my parents and siblings. I ended up marrying a man who also traveled a lot as a child; both of us are happy to prioritize being near family.
I ended up buying Binary Ninja for hobbyist projects instead. Worked great for doing a bit of Gameboy Advance rom hacking.

IDA Pro for ARM w/ a decompiler is the cost of a used car.
> Meanwhile, how many are giving their teams the resources (i.e., people) necessary to do the analytics on the bill required to find & cut costs?

I don't get time for that - I've got access to Cloudability but no one has ever showed me how to use it.
I think growing food is the wrong analogy, and cooking is better.

Growing food is more like designing and manufacturing servers.

Cooking is more like taking these goods and putting them to use.

There are plenty of places that host their own servers, including people that have these servers in their home or office. But far fewer produce these machines.

You could also say that cooking food is dumb. What's wrong with having professionals chefs do it? But that also doesn't take into account the added costs which makes it unfeasible for most.
FWIW at my own workplace the focus on cloud spending and cutting that bill has gone through the roof. The incentivization has been so good that teams are now constantly trumpeting their cost-saving measures. I've even seen cases where systems are purposefully shipped without any optimizations in order to give room for the follow-up "we saved $500k/year on this" email.
That first clause is an exceptional claim. I don’t know anyone in the fediverse who’s there because they can’t be on Twitter. I do know plenty of people who left because it was becoming a raging cesspit of algorithm-driving extremism.
Thank you for pointing it out. I just notice the description.

I guess I can offer a different one that is free.

A programmable tooltip on Mac: https://github.com/tanin47/tip

I'm experimenting with a mechanism to replace the selected text. You can select a text (on any app), activate the tooltip, and select one of the options, and that option can replace the selected text. The UX isn't as smooth as I want. There is some sort of modal blocking going on, and I'm still figuring out how to overcome that.
It's fairly common. More so for startups than larger companies as it may include an interview with the CEO/CTO etc. and include material details about the company and its products. The company may be in stealth mode. It does not mean that the company is going to really divulge any real secrets to you. It just safeguards against someone making a mess on social media after the interview. Pretty harmless and not a hill worth dying on.
The short answer is that it is a lot of work. The skills and engineering you need to build a video streaming system is quite complicated. There are several companies who purely specialize in it. We’d rather be the best for community chat than an OK tool for a lot of things. Especially since our team is so small
What mobile device and browser are you using? I've only tested on iPhone for mobile.
I was under the impression that outsourcing leveraged economies of scale and ought to be cheaper, if anything. Cloud-everything becoming commonplace does leave me worried that SaaS will drive out SaaP / self-hosted solutions, if it hasn’t already.
Yes, if what you have is "I need persistent, scoped access" you want an app. The fact that so many people on HN are saying "ah darn it expires" is truly frightening and I hope Github publishes a deprecation plan for PAT classic.
Not us. Cloud ALL THE THINGS...

https://letsblock.it has been on a slow but steady growth trajectory since it's January ShowHN[1]. The public instance served 290 customized lists this week, and operations / project upkeep are a pretty light time commitment.

It's a companion project to uBlockOrigin, working towards improving the internet's signal/noise ratio by filtering out low-value content and nags. While cosmetic filtering is very powerful, its learning curve is steep, so the project provides customizable templates maintained by the community.

I'll be giving a talk about the project, titled "Designing an Open-Source project for low maintenance" this Thursday at Ory Summit[2] and will share the recording on HN once it's public. You can still watch the conference's live-stream for free!

After that, I'll need to update the website's copy and simplify some UX, to prepare for another visibility push later this year.

SecureDrop 2.5.0 Released
The 0,1 Fibonacci sequence is my favourite numerical series. I use it in backoff algorithms at work when I have systems that talk to each other (prefer it over exponential backoff because it doesn't grow too quickly). I even use it in gap thresholds for data that is expected to update irregularly. And it works pretty well.
I disagree with this for a non-direct sales reason: before, you learned IDA, cracked or not. If you learned to reverse software of any kind, you acquired IDA.

Now, more and more tutorials and introductions use Ghidra. Is it better than IDA? In some cases yes, in most not yet, but it’s easier to get.

If I were Hex-Rays, I’d be very concerned with a generational shift as people stop bothering to pirate IDA and those who learned on Ghidra enter the industry and don’t demand an IDA license.
How much content they've actually put in their tagging system is just as interesting as how the tagging system works.
>We're not talking about painting roads bright white, it's more like a change from dark asphalt to light gray asphalt (similar to cement sidewalks).

In this case, perhaps people should stop proposing "painting roads white" and secretly meaning "light gray" and thinking everyone can read their minds, and instead they should propose "painting roads light gray".

> Is there an argument for why non-expiring tokens are a bad idea that I'm missing here?

Because people leave tokens around that are no longer used and forget about them, of course.
There's a valid question about how much usage patterns differ on different form factors.

It feels like the last two points you make contradict each other: there's a huge difference between "extension to desktop" and "pick up desktop stuff and go".

Obviously, for a myriad of hardware and UI reasons, we're not doing the latter typically. The people demented enough to want desktop software in their pocket buy a GPD Win or the like.

The real issue is behaviour patterns, though. Give me the performance of my desktop in a six-inch pocketable device with two day battery life, and I'm still going to use it very differently.

Where do many of us spend most of our workdays? In an IDE or office suite. No matter what you do, you're not going to be able to shrink those down and be usable for anything but the most trivial tweaks on a six inch screen with a glass keyboard. We sort of saw this attempted in the early days of Windows CE/Pocket PC with its silly little Portable Office apps. A docking station might make it usable when I get BACK to a desk, but at that point, I may as well just be using the phone as an expensive flash drive for sneakernet.

Okay, maybe gaming? Potentially, if done right. Genshin Impact making 82 bazillion dollars out of a game that scales from phones to desktops is the poster child. But as anyone with a Steam Deck can demonstrate, you have to pick stuff that was designed to work well with the form factor. That undermines the dream of "the entire universe of cool stuff your desktop has to offer".

Media consumption? Even that's different. People may prefer local storage to streaming due to unreliable/slow/expensive mobile data, and the media they consume is often different too. I don't want to binge 90-minute episodes of anything on a phone.

So we've basically tossed out most of the obvious answers for "seamless desktop extension". This means one of two things:
1) We're drilling in the wrong place. The desktop extensions we need are such paradigm shifts nobody has even given us a good demo
2) The things that define the mobile ecosystem currently-- for example, apps that lean heavily on "it has GPS and cameras", lightweight games, low-commitment consumption of media-- shape the market because they're the best use cases we've found for the form factor.

I liked Windows Phone. I still have three of them in my box of bad mobile device decisions (somewhere I think there's a Palm Pre too) What I liked about it was that it seemed to have a clear and cohesive design language, and it was reliably snappy on cheap hardware. We've basically given up on the former, but Android has managed to close the gap somewhat on the latter, probably mostly through surfing on Moore's Law.

Microsoft could have had one other chance, but I think they've already blew it: as privacy is becoming a selling point (see Apple and DuckDuckGo marketing), positioning themselves as "we have a business model that's not 96% ad-dependent, so we're not going to sell out your personal life for a quick nickel" could have made them the trustworthy choice, but they've burnt through any credibility they had on that front in the last few years.

Tense and plurals is one that would that seems like it would be helpful for a computer to keep consistent while you edit, so when you edit the subject to be plural from singular, it tacks on the "s" onto the verb for you. If you had

"Families enjoy this restaurant"

And started typing and changed "Families" to "our family" this "photoshop for text" would change "enjoy" to "enjoys" for you.

Enough little facets like that, I could see being useful.

I don't know if this is quite correct. The inpainted text has zero bits of information only if you already have on your end the exact, very large model they would have used. If you don't, and they only sent their prompt rather than the full text, you're in for a bit of a download.

Put another way, their prompt is arguably a pointer to data buried in that model. You're raising the question of whether they should only send the pointer, or just cache the query result, in a sense, and save you the trouble of looking it up.
As a sideline, this website has been designed using TailwindCSS... to the point that their page logo is the TailwindCSS logo rotated by 90 and so is their website background. I can't speak for the TailwindCSS team but that feels like pushing the use of free software a bit too far
I don't think it will be pure shit, no, but at the point I can't physically do fun things anymore (whenever you think that will be) there really isn't much let to DO which means your relationships are going to be clutch. And the longer the relationship the more meaningful (generally), so having kids seems like a strong enhancement.

I don't think it's binary "sucks/not sucks", but I do think, for me, it'd clearly be sig LESS fun to be old without kids based on what I've seen of the older people in my life with different family situations. Seems shitty to me.

I'm sure there are people who have the opposite experience, but I was trying to explain why the "sacrifice" of prime years can be seen as an investment rather than a straight loss.
