An auto-winding mechanical watch still winds down if you put it down and leave it still.

> Together with a watch winder you don't have to worry about winding your watch.

For those not aware, a “watch winder” is a motorized device that you strap your watch onto, which rotates the watch to auto-wind it when you’re not wearing it… an accessory you don’t need to buy for quartz watch.
It's a complex problem when you start to dig into it, mostly because so much software (including Photoshop) is delivered as a SaaS product and even more so as they become more and more cloud connected. Behaving more like a live-service that you're connected to rather than a discrete application on your device. You could say that your application should continue to have the licensed content, but their live-service couldn't continue to provide it through their servers.

I think these are just oversights in the contract in a way. I would hope we'd see less of these mishaps as time goes on and companies get better at writing long-term outcomes into their contracts. It would be a pain in the butt to write software that handles legacy licensing per user over a live service though.

Thanks I tried that site for a few weeks but was never able to order in time. I guess I need further automation like you.

Insane troll logic, pure and simple.
Is there any estimation of the angular width of the cone for these sorts of gamma ray bursts?
I don't understand why this matters.. if journalists are trusting random screenshot (or database entry) it could obviously be faked! Forget advanced MSR manipulation, one can just photoshop the screenshot, or open in debugger and edit window elements, or binary-patch the executable.
Same goes with database entry - I bet the result submission is some HTTPs call which can be mitmproxy-ed and edited.

So the real title should have been: "You thought there are 5 ways to fake test results? Nope, there are 6." Not nearly as exciting.
Bracing for up to 70K Covid deaths this winter as booster uptake flops
I used a RPi in the past as main desktop, why i went for this:

- Its not a Intel platform (trust issues due to IME)

- Power consumption low enough for running 24/7

- Noise - its quiet enough so it does not disturb me while sleeping

- No support for weird power management, machines going dark for no discernible reason has always been bugging me

What i really disliked was the instability of SD cards, and the media playback was mediocre back then due to a lack of HW accelerators.
That would not even kill all humans. It would possibly destroy all of civilization though. But even then, the coming generations would have artefacts to study and be inspired by.
I'm still rocking a Canon 5D Mark II. About 15 years old. It has been to Canon service twice to have its shutter replaced. Wears out around 150K uses. With my 24-70mm and 100-200mm L series glass, I think I'm good forever.
It was locked, in a process where they force you to explicitly admit your tweet broke the rules before you can get your account back. There's more context here: https://babylonbee.com/news/twitter-has-shut-down-the-bee
I mean a modern CPU has something like 5 Billion transistors and these are switching at GHz range so its many orders of magnitude more than neurons can achieve. 10^9x10^9 >> 86x10^9
Number of cores doesn't seem relevant.

>This is leaving aside the issue that a CPU cycle and a neuron firing are doing completely different sorts of work - comparing them is kind of nonsensical in the first place.

Maybe, but the op comment was explicitly using raw transistor count to compare to Neuron count as a proxy for sapience.
If he even comes back. Surely he's done with Twitter now that he has created a superior alternative, right? Surely he wouldn't diminish his stature by deigning to tweet again?

You wrote: <<the large companies ... have an extremely cozy relationship with almost all parties in Germany>>

This is true in most highly industrialised countries. Can you name any where this is not true? I don't know any.

Another way to think about it: What is the polar opposite? "the large companies ... extremely unhealthy / combative relationship with almost all [political] parties". That sounds like the bad old days in 1980s India. Most economies would be a wreck if that were true.
> There is also a non-binding proposal in the agreement to allow the manufacture of vehicles “running exclusively on CO2-neutral fuels” (also known as “e-fuels”) beyond 2035 if these vehicles fall “outside the scope of the fleet standards.” [...] “outside the scope of the fleet standards” suggests that only speciality vehicles, like ambulances and fire engines, will be able to take advantage of this carve-out.
A 250-300cal/hr walk is a casual stroll. Don't move goalposts here. Perceived effort will change from person to person. Besides, I meant the number goal is easy, not the effort. But you knew that and wanted to twist my statement to fit your view.

A quick google search results in a range from 400-600cal/hr for brisk, hilly walks. You could also use the word "hike" but that requires nature which some people don't have access to.

>The idea of "exercising your way out of overconsumption" is entirely flawed and disproven.

Obvious one would still be attempting to reduce calorie intake throughout this scenario. But for the people who say "exercise just doesn't make a difference in my weight loss" - that is indeed flawed. You can absolutely exercise your way into a deficit. Perhaps you haven't had that experience. To that, I would say your workload is probably not high enough to experience it.
I was thinking that this website should add itself to the list since it is so frustrating to use...
100%, I’m originally from a really corrupt country. They steal the money, and then still refuse to do the work. Result: no money, nothing works.

Here in the West, there is much less corruption to begin with, but the work gets done for the most part. Result: things work
When the baseline of corruption is high enough and those who judge you are equally or more corrupt, convictions for "corruption" are a weapon from those who do not want a specific someone on the government rather than real intention of reducing corruption.

Simplifying, it's like this: If the road to presidency is corrupt, you either become also corrupt (on a varying degree) or stay as one of those parties with no more than 1% of the votes. But then, there's a pact of silence between cronies. And those who are accused of corruption are the ones that either went too far or went against powerful people in the government.

I take all those trials with a grain of salt.
Amazon, Intel Pressed to Slash Costs After Years of Bulking Up
This blog discusses tons of x86_64 fanless designs, as well as other architectures: https://www.fanlesstech.com
In the US almost anyone can afford the “latest phone” on a no interest payment plan from either Apple or the carrier. T-mobile doesn’t even run a credit check if you have been with them for a year.

Apple has kept the same design for 3 years. You can’t tell whether it’s the “latest” or not. You definitely can’t tell whether it’s pro or not if you have a case.
I think the meaning was more, that our galaxy can't produce such events, so that's one thing we don't have to worry about in our galaxy.

Man, I guess folks here don't like Key & Peele jokes.
Yes, but we should probably avoid framing those two sides so hatefully and over-broadly, as you and the author have done.

Edit: After my post, the parent was edited to include the qualifier, "both of these opinions are the extreme".
The older style BBQ places would have had it in Atlanta. There’s a few places inside Atlanta that have it like Fox Brothers but it’s not the original.

Danny’s looks legit and it will likely have the original kind. I would recommend it.
This was exactly my case. I spent around that price point, before 'the 2020 era'. The RPi4 definitely needs cooling. Luckily for me the passive cooling case/ribs works, so I don't need fans.
Paying an official to do something they were going to do (eventually) anyway does not qualify as a bribe.
It was a joke. He didn't want to buy it.
What really struck me here at first was how Pandas read_sql spends so little time on the actual query execution and data transfer, while client side processing is taking up the majority (~85%) of time.

It makes more sense though, once you realise that they're talking about unsaturated networks, and so they can focus on relatively simple optimisation techniques (e.g. query partitioning and zero-copy) to bring about significant speedup in data loading.
The Business Impact of Code Quality
I wouldn't say using vectorized operations as opposed to for loops is such a good example. You're simply using the right tool for the job. Is using a fork to eat soup suboptimal? Is switching to a spoon optimizing the way you eat?

But what about using a dict or a list or tuple? That kind of decision can make a performance difference down the road, and there are trade offs in ease of development.

Anyway, the whole thing feels a little contrived. Who would ever argue that you shouldn't use numpy from the get-go? Who is the author arguing against?
How many times are you going to copy-pasta this exact same comment? Quick search shows three times. Keep it up. Great work.
This was a great read and conscious of the nuances to effective writing. Articles like these tend to have a "write this way NOT this other way" mentality. To paraphrase a comment I saw somewhere regarding code optimization:

"Given enough time most code can be optimized quite a lot".

The same can be said about writing. The audience, the topic, and the intended outcome make for a complex optimization problem that, as the author touches on, can eat up a ton of time. The PR comment example is perfect. The initial comment (on the lefthand side) works. *It does the job*, however when the author is placed in a different context (audience and intent), the comment on the right becomes more optimal. It also took 5x the amount of time to write up. I feel as though knowing the tradeoffs and managing your own time seems to be half the battle when it comes to communicating.

My additional advice for devs is; get honest feedback on your writing (slack messages, design documents and everything in between) so that you can learn best what works with whom.
No irony is lost. She displays no interest in anything actually technical, neither in her choice of subject to study nor anything in her video or LinkedIn posts. That's exactly the point being made here: why should such a person be taken seriously? If we lived in a world without diversity hiring, Meta's generic credibility would help, but we don't so it doesn't.

Fundamentally, neither of us know her and we're coming from very different places so there's no way to resolve the disagreement. You're taking everything she says at face value with the maximally generous interpretation possible. The video went viral because most people aren't willing to do that. Instead they're applying their priors based on experience with similar people. 23 year old TikTok influencer types who like to post clips of their easy life have a very high correlation with people who aren't entirely honest, and the #womenintech hashtag combined with humanities backgrounds has a very high correlation with women who don't care about tech at all beyond it being a gateway to an easy life. The video does nothing to dispel that impression and absolutely everything to reinforce it. It doesn't help that the PM title can mean anything from a Steve Jobs to a glorified meeting note taker.

But sure, if you want to believe that there's nothing wrong with that video and it says nothing about decadence at Meta then by all means, go ahead. Makes no difference either way. Others will draw their own conclusions.
Sems strange to complain about an automatic mechanical watch being itself - like complaining that a manual car needs you to change gears! He has a very nice watch. Setting the time if he doesn't wear it takes a 10 seconds (a minute if you need to get the day and date correct)
Fine them more ?
No but seriously, legal consequence are not always backed by a army threat.

Twitter want to be in good standing in regard to the laws.

Why would they bother pay taxes at all anywhere otherwise ?
The problem is assuming the upper bound is close or at human level for intelligence. There's no reason to think that and clearly outlier humans like John von Neumann that are still in the Human range are far more capable than the average person. If you only could make machines as intelligent as that it would still be revolutionary.
>Twitter is already about as free as it's possible

E.g. in Trump's case they could have deleted the few tweets which they considered calls to violence instead of handing out a permanent ban.

(I'm not saying they should have done that.)
Why is there such a mania for reducing sort/finest options?

They carry such a small cognitive load and are of immense value to many, many use cases.

Who decides these things?
Systems like this are set up to be almost impossible to get through because the higher the cost to go through the legitimate process the more likely you are to pay a bribe, and the higher that bribe will have to be.
It's a pedestal of sadness and desperation, not holiness. You're wrong again.

You know, it's a viewpoint that's been desperately ignored in HN comment threads in recent years, that's why I decided to start commenting on it after almost 10 years of lurking.

I may make some people very angry, to the point of personal attacks. That's fine.

If you plant a seed, it may grow. We'll see. Better than doing nothing and watching the world burn.

I am personally hoping that Twitter will break Elon Musk, and then go out of business. That would be the best possible outcome. I am not holding my breath that it will happen, but it would be incredible.

I confess I am somewhat impervious to bad kerning myself. I thought about fixing that (there's online exercises that one can take) but then I realized that there's potentially so much bad kerning out there I would be making my life more miserable for no reason.
Nice to see a successor to the H2/H2+ finally.

Better idle power than a Raspberry Pi 4 plus it has functioning suspend modes.
What are the years listed below the items on the home page supposed to denote? The DeLorean dates are "1989-1990", but it was sold, and production ended, in the early 80's.

There are symbols next to each date, but I can't find their meanings anywhere on the website.
I contributed to OS.js a bit in its infancy, glad it's on this list. Super cool project.
they keep making minor changes like this that invariably make things worse. For me it's the loss of controls for quickly removing individual videos from the Watch Later playlist.

Some really good advice in the article, and I like the examples too. I agree with the author that communicating effectively is an important skill in a developer's tool box, but the article only covers written communication. In reality, effective communication involves speaking and listening skills as well. These skills are important enough for developers that I wrote a whole chapter on communicating effectively in my book[0].

Here are a few more points I think are helpful:

* Communicating isn't just saying something. People might not understand your ideas, or they may interpret what you're trying to say in a different way. Sometimes you need to repeat yourself in order to drive your point across, and you may need to communicate your idea in multiple ways for people to really understand what you're trying to say.

* If possible, try not to communicate through other people. Don't ask Tim to ask Alanna to do a favor or a task that you need to get done. It may feel like good delegation, but the more hops your message takes before it reaches its destination, the more chances for the message to get distorted, like a game of telephone. Try to communicate your message directly to the intended person if you can. Sometimes this isn't possible and you need to communicate through other people though.

* Understand the audience you're communicating with. Are they technical? Then it's okay to use technical jargon and concepts. Are they not technical? Try to use more common terms and phrases. You may need to come up with examples and similes so it's easier for them to understand something that's technical or abstract.

* Clear writing is critical in code reviews. If you think a line or block of code needs to be changed, explain why in the code review, don't just say it's wrong and it needs to be changed—that's not helpful. Especially with younger engineers that could benefit from understanding why their code could be improved.

* If conversations turn in to long discussions on a code review, move the discussion to a video call or in person conversation. No one wants to follow a thread where two developers are arguing about whether something is right or wrong. Settle the disagreement outside of the code review.

* You'll be writing a lot of technical requirements in your project management system as you get more experienced and lead more projects and features. What you write in the ticket won't always get interpreted exactly how you think it will, so try to write as clear and thoroughly as possible when describing what needs to be done. Sometimes you may need to describe how it needs to be done as well if you'd like it done a specific way.

No; that was the US does. See Alstom French CEO jailed in the US because he wanted to sell to Chinese and not GE.
Wow, please share more details. What city and what was the total cost compared to other options? I have heard this exists in very rich places in New York City, but it costs a pretty penny!
You should submit the article to HN. If you just make a comment it will likely only be seen by people reading that particular comment section that particular day. But an article you can link/reference and re-submit. (you can also link to specific comments on HN, but a standalone article is a more expressive medium)
Sure. It's really working.

You are suggesting the only people banned from twitter are those posting "CP, calls to violence etc" - not true. Also, other than bans there are suspensions such as the New York Post for a story on Hunter Biden.

Plus there are plenty posting call to violence who are not banned, but are suspiciously on the "right" side of politics.
Productivity doesn't scale with speed, or else everyone would be using Threadrippers. OP might be perfectly fine with a pi.
I would tell anyone buying a mechanical/automatic watch to also buy a watch winder.

Complaining about the fragility of (in this case) cheap consumer products is also, unfortunately, self-defeating. I have a Tag Heuer that I've been in a (semi-serious) car accident with - which came out with a bent buckle & still works fine to this day.

It's akin to buying a bottle of Lagavulin & complaining about the smoky taste.
> Why shouldn't that also hold true for visual art?

To answer that, we'd have to say more about why the meaning of a written work doesn't depend on the author's intent than "we often hear."
I'm enjoying the game so far. They really lowered the entry barrier and made the economic simulation understandable. And I always liked that the Victoria series focused on economy more than just painting the map your color, as is often the case in CK and EU, i.e. you have the option to play "tall".

I also like all the abstraction changes like no more manual colonizing or moving units individually. That always felt like micromanaging to me, and as you blob up it made the game tedious. Now I almost enjoy playing wars!

I'm sad that playing my first run I was finishing the tech tree some 30 years before the end of the game, which is 30% of the game time. I wish there was more end-game content.

By the way, I've been playing on my M1 Macbook Air and it runs quite well!
To expand on this, setup one of the various yt-dlp "servers" (It's just software, often in a docker container. I have an old one that uses youtube-dl, I need to update it) where you can post over to them and it will download the video and drop it in a folder somewhere. Then setup a Shortcut (iOS), bookmarklet, etc so that on any platform you are on, you are 1 click away from kicking off a download. Then sort/organize those videos as you see fit at a later date.

Bonus points for putting your intake folder in a place your media server can see.
Many years ago, in my first tech job, we converted our typewriter-driven office to networked DOS PCs, running on Netware. One day, one of the legal secretaries, of self-described Roma ancestry, started complaining about her PC acting oddly...software not starting, spontaneous reboots ,etc. We replaced her machine to troubleshoot it, but the same thing happened with the replacement machine. We couldn't detect anything she was doing wrong.

Finally, she got tired of our fruitless technology-driven attempts to help her and strung a few cloves of garlic along the tops and sides of her cubicle. Her problems went away, immediately. My boss, the director of IT, and I looked at each other, shrugged, and called it good.
Right, I think Elon's idea is moving censorship into everyone's own responsibility, something like: Follow who you want to, ignore who you don't, it's not your responsibility nor your right to silence other people off a monopoly platform just because you disagree with them.
When I was in high school AV, one of the favorite projects we were involved in was a short doc/trailer for an abstract exhibit in a local museum.

We interviewed several people. The artistic director. Some people from our school who were painting a Sol LeWitt performance piece on the wall.

All in all pretty generic stuff. People describing what abstract art meant to them, how people could interact with it.

And then we interviewed the janitor (I was behind the camera observing).

He talked about how he hung paintings.

How there is a standard wire they put on the back of frames to ensure it was easy to hang frames level.

What the typical height of a hung artwork was. Based on how tall the average visitor was, and from how far away they would observe the painting.

It was the absolute highlight of that trailer.
