Windows 10 screwed this up aswell.
Up until then I had Czech and English keyboards I could switch between with Alt+Shift. Then win 10 installation came, and suddenly I had (something similar to) Czech, "English-CZ" and English.
Ofcourse Alt+Shift now changed between Czech and English-CZ, and there was supposed to be new shortcut to change between English and the rest.

Of course, I cant just delete the languages I dont want to, that would be too easy (and all google guides "helpfully" said: just delete the extra language, bro).

So after some refistry magic I was able to bend the system agaist its will to work as it always did, but of course it changed back several times since then on its own.

How does one manage to fuck up something as simple as "remember those two languages I use and switch between them when I press this" is beyond me. At this point im more inclined to believe in purposeful malice than such brutal incomptence

That just looks like a laser furnace with extra steps. A whole lot of extra steps.

I suppose you would get higher efficiency from that than if you replaced the mirrors with solar panels and used that to drive the laser, but you also wouldn't be limited to sunny days since you can also just switch to grid power at any time.
That is true. I forgot about that.

And why did they check for scars? Because people were forging their vaccination certificate (like now with COVID). So this mandate thing did not really worked well.

I develop tooling around Robot Framework as my main job, personally I feel biggest tradeoff of RF in Python world is that it competes against Pytest, which is my personal favourite testing framework out of any I have tried.

In JavaScript projects I don't have such a favourite, Jest and Mocha have been okayish when I have tried them but didn't really spark joy. In multilanguage projects (like the Playwright based robotframework-browser which I have been developing) I have enjoyed writing integration tests with Robot Framework.

I don't have excessive experience with other comparable QA tools (like cucumber), but I would say Robot Framework's main advantage and disadvantage are both the fact that it is constantly so close to python. (E.g. you can easily do in-line python expressions, but if you were to have a team working with Robot Framework where some are lacking Python competence those might become very confusing pretty fast.) Also for writing advanced libraries Python usage is pretty much mandatory. But I guess it's pretty rare for a DSL to support writing advanced extensions with the same DSL.

The thing I find fascinating about meditation is “observing” the consciousness. When I meditate and my mind is clear I can notice the moment a thought appears and that it arrived spontaneously without conscious effort. Like it was on a background thread or something.

Writing about those atypical experiences is quite difficult. It seems our language heavily assumes the default unmindful experience so doesn’t have precise ways to express the opposite.

I’m not a fan of ad hominem but the most reasonable guess to me is that someone did poorly on IQ tests and is working to justify why they are bad. Or they have a super high score and are trying to ultimately justify their argument with “well I scored 179 and even I think they are bad.”

I don’t think we’ll have closure.
Citation for a hunch is pretty hard to give
A) The west just has fewer people. The most populous country in Europe - Germany - would be only the 10th most populous country in Asia.

B) A substantial amount of people in Asia live in rural areas. In India, nearly 920M people live in rural areas. The lack of infrastructure in rural areas means that things can happen that never ever reach the local authorities. People can simply slip away without a trace.

C) State power is weak outside of major population centers. Corruption is rife. Povery is rampant. Earning opportunities are limited. Combined, it means that criminals know they can get away with anything as long as they bribe the right people.

D) A substantial percentage of Asian population lives under failed states (same for Africa). State power isn't just weak; it's absent.

E) Asia is just way too large and geographically diverse. Easy to hide away illicit activity in a dense rainforest or deserted mountain than in wide open plains and farmland.

Ask HN: Do you browse without JavaScript?
I have been obsessed with browser fingerprinting for some time now, and came to the conclusion that the only way to be serious about it is to disable Javascript by default, and enabling it when the website doesn't render. When I started with this obsession, I was always "unique" at https://amiunique.org/. You can quickly realize that, with only "32 bits of randomness" (~3B humans using the internet in the world) the version of the browser you use, the language as transferred in the Accept-Language header, quality settings (Accept), and a few more bits are almost enough to uniquely identify you (and the chances increase a lot for every new dimension), but at least you still have a chance. Javascript provides an enormous variety of dimensions, and probably the only way that two different humans have the same fingerprint is if they have both just bought a new device and did not deviate from the stock configuration, in which case scroll behavior or similar telemetry profiling probably can differentiate between them.

As a consequence of dropping Javascript by default, I also have been pleasently surprised by how much data I save browsing, how my battery life improved, and how usable the internet is without Javascript (and ads).

Have you had a similar experience?

What you are suggesting here is a lot of manual work. What I'm complaining about is that there is no sane/easy way to avoid having to do all of that and getting everybody on the team to do the exact same things.

This should be as simple as "import the project". Done. There should not be any extra steps. No settings fiddling. No magic files to copy. No plugin installations to intellij. Etc.

I define this as mastery.

It’s when we train our subconscious mind to simulate reality so well that it accurately stays ahead of what’s happening in real time.

A smaller example of this is reactively catching something that was knocked off a table and realising what you are doing in the moment without having triggering the reaction consciously.

I’d rather see funding come from a crypto token that keeps the software completely open source than enterprise sales, aid hosted versions, and going “open core”.

I don’t understand how anyone believes that the current trend of so called “open source” startups is good for free software or anyone other than investors.

Given that, I’m very up for experimentation with new types of organisational and finding models for open projects, including ones that use cryptocurrencies and smart contracts.
totally agree.

For me it was shows like Beyond 2000 (on Star TV in India), and reading magazines like Popular Science and Popular Mechanics (on the potty, who are we kidding), which served as massive inspiration as a kid for the power of technology to shape the world to come.

> Dart should have been dead a long time ago, Flutter saved it.

Not that simple. The new Dart is a completely different language than what they published 2011 als an alternative browser language.

But as far as I've seen today's Dart is not really faster than TS/JS on V8; thus, the difference is primarily the different syntax, which is probably an insufficiently important argument for most users; the cross platform AOT feature is great but apparently not important enough for the majority of people.
From experience, no. At least cppcheck, clang tidy, and coverity together still miss aome fairly simple use-after-free on the stack. Asan or valgrind can catch it, as long as you have a unit test that would cause it, which might require 100% code and branch coverage. In more complicated cases where it somehow dependsnon inputs, even that might not cut it.
If I'be read it correctly it _can_ announce itself over WebUSB. And I suppose this announcement contains a landing URL, which Chrome will then show upon plug-in of the device. So device-side WebUSB capability seems like a feature, rather than a requirement for browser-side communication.

I had the same reaction while reading it. It would be interesting to know what the abandonment rate is lower in the funnel, maybe after someone creates an account. Because I have also clicked apply on jobs where I have no real interest but am curious about the position or company.

Also, the article is spot on about the tediousness of the online applications.
I applied to a position at my kids’ school last year. School websites are awful enough but then they bounce you into a separate portal for the application. And the flow is built around the most complicated job that they might need to hire for. So, to get a job as, say, a p/t middle school soccer coach or night custodian, you have to go through all these steps that really don’t apply. And of course then they moan about how hard it is to fill positions.
The use of scare quotes in discussions _about_ the laws are a useful reminder that “legitimacy” has a technical definition other than what the reader might think plain english meaning is.

Well, it's not a black-or-white thing where you can label a person as either "bad" or "good" based on your perception of one of his actions.

If he was a Muslim, then yes, he maybe was not practicing, and that would be considered a sin. But you can't deduce anything from that about his fate or whether is was a "bad believer". Why? For a number of reasons:

- From a religious perspective, God charges no soul beyond its capacity, that is, what it is capable of bearing. We know nothing about the guy. What circumstances lead him to this lifestyle? Was he trapped? In the islamic view, actions are but by intentions. Do we know anything about his intentions? Only God knows.

- Also from a religous perspective, there is no perfect human, we are all sinful. Good deeds balance bad ones. One of the stories in the islamic texts is that of a prostitute who saw a thirsty dog, took off her shoe and watered it, and god forgave her because of that good deed.
I always thought this outcome was obvious. Systemd controls everything that happens before Linux boots. It controls everything that happens after Linux boots. Might as well call it GNU/Systemd at this point. It's the silent revolution no one wanted. The name itself implies a manifest destiny because System D is 100x greater than System V and they intentionally break POSIX compliance too. Now that the guy who owns the systemd project works for Microsoft, in addition to the fact that the Linux kernel now needs to be a Windows executable in order to boot, that really tells you all you need to know.

In terms of compensation and hiring, commonly the package is defined by HR while the performance is reviewed by your team manager. There are even places where the criteria of evaluation is defined by HR.

That's also why I'm very optimistic about start-ups. Company can never dominate a market forever. And the end of the day, all companies implode

Interesting, I never bothered to investigate the basis of that claim. According to https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02328-0, a recent study does show that the vaccine was effective at preventing the spread, which is unsurprising to me. What is surprising is that the article claims this was the first study of the effectiveness against spreading an infection.
It’s alright to work on things that don’t solve humanity’s problems.

But what’s so horrible in today’s tech is that a lot of people working on things like 15-minute delivery and cryptocurrencies pretend that they’re solving fundamental problems, improving the world, and rescuing third world people from poverty. Both gig apps and crypto are very much guilty of such overblown rhetoric.

4-5 hours of interviews seems pretty standard even for companies you’ve never heard of. Nowadays every tech company pretends like they’re FAANG, and then they complain about how hard it is to hire new devs. As if the Leetcode rigamarole weren’t bad enough every company expects you to do 7 interviews. Finding a tech job is a full-time job in itself

Still can't run GPT-3 or even GPT-J locally though, which is what the article is about. Learning takes a whole datacenter with actual terabytes loaded into VRAM, sure, but even running it requires you to have enough space on the card to actually load the model. Which is usually still in the 20G+ range.

Stable diffusion is about the only one of these useful groundbreaking models that can run on normal hardware to some extent, and even that's extremely limited with only like what, 256x256 being possible with a 6G card and 512x512 on a 10G card? So thanks for pointing out the one partial exception.
What’s the conversion efficiency of solar panels? What are the losses converting that to run a laser?

That is in the eye of the beholder. Phrasing as 'more permissive' is more accurate.
No. “Mind reader” implies someone is reaching into deep dark corners of your mind and figuring out things that are never externalized. There is enormous communication that is completely clear and unambiguous, but not verbal in the incredibly direct and explicit, almost like a legal contract-y way people pushing back seem to want. You are expected to pick up on those. An employee who constantly needs you collapse all these dimensions into the verbal sphere is almost never worth it.

While the gadget that adjusts the flow return temperature is a great idea, it basically means that the radiators in the house aren't big enough. Either the radiators were installed in an age where condensing boilers were unusual and the boiler upgraded later, or the installer didn't do their calculations correctly. Bigger radiators allow the same heat output using a lower more efficient flow temperature.

> Before tides for a particular location can be predicted, a series of observed hourly heights, preferably of twelve months duration, are mathematically analysed. This analysis separates the observed tide into its astronomically forced components, known as harmonic constituents or harmonic constants, ... An analysis for this machine resolved up to 42 constituents. A modern analysis frequently resolves 120 or more constituents.

I imagine that tides could also be computed with CFD and a 3D model of the sea floor, without having to observe for 12 months at each new location. Is this done, and if so, how does the accuracy compare?
