It might be helpful if you share information on where your perspective is coming from. Your comments here confuse me, as someone peering in from the outside.

You can just say you don't have an evidentiary threshold. No one is going to hold it against you. It just means no one will want to engage with you because you're implicitly admitting that you didn't reason your way into your position so there's no way to reason you out of one.
They were suspended with a little Maoist struggle session setup that they were required to go through to repent their sins, and included is an admission that they were sinners for doing it, in order to get their account back.

You left that very important part out.
It's hard to start over once you get to logistics and construction robots. IMO, these should be available earlier in the vanilla game.
Sounds like oil fields are better suited to compressed gas storage. I wonder if salt caverns would work though? To solve the pump location issue, you could perhaps pump down air to get the water to come up.
I sort of assumed headphones were the OP's actual primary audio source. Makes more sense. I end up using headphones half the time anyway because that allows for more convenient audio options when taking calls on multiple devices throughout the day.
The tone of this thread is so unrelatable to me. I feel like the total opposite of the sentiment in this thread. I want to work in a place that pushes me to do better and fulfill my potential. I know that's hard, because true learning is almost always uncomfortable and feels like work. But in most jobs throughout my career, my experience is of feeling stifled and asphyxiated. In practice, many times when I've tried to "grow" in my role, the reaction from my colleagues was negative and I got the sense that I didn't belong there, that I was stepping on people's toes, that overworked people felt insulted or threatened rather than relieved by my offer to take on tiny pieces of their responsibilities. Things have gotten better now that I'm in my 30s and better at standing up for myself, but I'm still in an uphill battle just to be included in conversations. As someone who is passionate about technology, I want to answer questions like, "What's the hardest thing I can do?" or "What's the most awesome thing I can make?" or "What's the biggest positive impact that I can have?" And then I feel jealous when I read this thread because I wish I had a tenth as much support as some of these people have. I wish I had a manager who wanted me to grow too much!
I have a friend who's contracted to write some code for Tesla and can confirm. They have certain things that are built well, but sooo much is spaghetti on spaghetti.

I used to work for one of the companies supporting studios getting their content to streamers. This specific story is related to iTunes, but it's easy to do for any of them. The early days of "ramping up" meant putting butts in seats to do the work before automation was in place. The push to automate shot to highest priority when on of the butts in seats incorrectly copy/paste from one spreadsheet to the next which allowed an episode to be downloaded before it aired to anyone that subscribed to that season on iTunes.

The fallout from that was incredible, but credit to the company they did not fire the employee for making a human mistake.
All fair points! Maybe I should reevaluate :)
Politicians aren't using alcoholics as boogie-men.
Yes, obviously Twitter got to decide which hateful statements were prohibited and which were not.
Depends what you mean by "the product". If the product is a content platform where the main purpose is serving ads, then I agree. If you're trying to build a "bicycle for the mind" that actually empowers the user then removing seldom used, but useful features will kill the thing. I can imagine what A/B tested Vim would look like.
There seems to be some conflating going on here. As the author mentioned, the spec space is a scattered mess. For the same reason, all markdown to HTML compilers are following their own rules (unless they specifically call out the recommendations of one of the specs.) So if you are getting crappy HTML output, get (or write since it's so simple) a better compiler. Many markdown to HTML tools will let you apply templates and specify which tags to use for a given piece of markup. For the layperson that's probably asking a lot but for the technical crowd, it's your own fault if you aren't happy with the output
That sometimes backfires. My dad built a fence while the application was pending. The city approved the application but made him tear down the fence anyway and rebuild it since he didn't have permission when it was first built.
Most or my recommendation are OK, but after 10 or so, Youtube starts recommending MMA videos, football, the latest K-Pop song, "I am pregnant!" trending crap. None of it is relevant, I keep telling it I am not interested yet Youtube keeps recommending trending topics.

It just doesn't bloody care.

I added another reminder on my todo list to get rid of Premium and go rogue. My biggest issue is watching it on Android TV and the iPad, I will need a good adblocking setup, no way in hell I will watch ads.
More like the whole country is behind a giant CGNAT. NAT is good for security, eh?
Something tells me that a lot of the people who've spent the last ten years insisting that "they're a private company, they can do whatever they want" are going to change their minds about that.
What happened to Reimer was a travesty, and an affront to human decency on all levels.

That doesn't change the truth that gender and biological sex are both characteristics of the human experience - usually they line up, and sometimes they don't.

Paying an official to perform their job (perform a "routine governmental action") is a facilitating payment and is an exemption from the prohibitions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/78dd-1

The point with a facilitating payment is that you've done everything that's actually required by law to e.g. get a business license and the official is still giving you the run-around, you are allowed to pay them. It doesn't apply in cases that relate to paying decision makers for contracts, for example.

If you're thinking about doing this, you should absolutely consult a lawyer, but the post above is wrong on the general construction of the law.
Yep, it's completely jacked. Very annoying. Of course, back in Twitter also randomly loses your place, too. I guess it's one of those "we're a big deal site now" checklist items: Fuck up the back button.

Almost 8 years ago I bought their older model, Intense PC, to use it as our living-room "multimedia" machine even since. It's running Linux (currently latest Mint), without any problems all these years, including zero driver problems (a rarity among other Linux systems I've used). And of course no noisy fans since it has none, its passive cooling is really good.

The glass is a key. I usually can't beat my iphone with bargain glass, but with wide aperture L series glass I trounce the phone handily.

Subject matter is another factor. A pretty view never runs away, and adults hold still for a picture, yet by contrast children & sports aren't going to wait for the phone to focus.
Twitter will inevitably return to its current state. Gettr, Parler, and Truth Social all quietly discovered this lesson and had to figure out moderation and started banning users.

This is incitement.
Such a great deal these execs are getting. Of course the 100M is nice, but not having to deal directly with Musk might be worth more.

Also, AWS lets you ask for a static IP access (EIP) which you don't pay for so long as it is attached to something (an ec2 instance, a load balancer, etc).
Your improvements to the code do not require 'traction'. The only thing that undoes a do-ocracy is another do-er, and that starts with a fork, like how Gitea started.
Yes, also there's been a bug in comment textfields for at least 3 years: press enter twice in a row and the cursor won't move to the next line.
The history of why the 8008 was little-endian is interesting and predates the 8008. In 1970, the mostly forgotten company CTC released the Datapoint 2200, a desktop computer built from TTL chips (not a microprocessor) and sold as a programmable terminal. It had a serial processor using shift-register memory chips. It was an 8-bit processor but since it operated on one bit at a time, it had to start with the lowest bit to make addition work. As a result, it was little-endian.

CTC talked to Intel and Texas Instruments to see if the processor could be put onto VLSI chips to replace the board of TTL chips. Texas Instruments produced the TMX 1795 processor, shortly followed by the Intel 8008, both processors cloning the Datapoint 2200's instruction set and architecture including little-endian. CTC rejected both processors and stuck with TTL. TI couldn't find another customer for the TMX 1795 and it vanished from history. Intel successfully marketed the 8008 as a general-purpose microprocessor. Its architecture was copied for the 8080 and then modified for the 16-bit 8086, leading to the x86 architecture that rules the desktop and server market. As a result, x86 has the little-endian architecture and other features of the Datapoint 2200. I consider the Datapoint 2200 to be one of the most influential processors ever, even though it's almost completely forgotten.
Often people think something is a wheel when it is rather more of a pulley. My experience has taught me to avoid this saying because the real questions are:

- Do I gain anything valuable (including knowledge) by doing this myself

- do we have the investment to do so (time and money)

Too often when this phrase is evoked it's because folks want an engineer to simply wrap and extend when the proper thing to do sounds a little too expensive.
I didn't talk down. Genuinely, high school biology teaches us that there are two sexes XX it's a woman, XY it's a man. That's literally what we learn.

It's only after you dive into the science at a collegiate level or higher that you learn there's a small percentage, maybe 1-2% of people, for whom this binary understanding is not a good model.

I'm not saying it's bad to only have a high school understanding, just that it's an incomplete understanding.

I did that for a while when my previous laptop broke. It was fine with a lightweight linux desktop but it was quite slow using an ultrawide screen and horribly slow for some compilations, but it felt like an "almost there" concept, just arrive to the office and turn on the screen.

With a normal resolution and in a cloud IDE environment or interpreted only languages like python could have perfectly worked, also for everyone who doesn't need exotic binaries.

Some thoughts I had were also, that I could have set up a server-web IDE on it and work on the way with a tablet and a keyboard without rely on a third party cloud, but again, I needed to compile binaries.
Show HN: Capture YouTube video screenshots (quick and easy API)
A few months back I needed to display arbitrary images from YouTube videos in an app, but there was no easy way, so I built something to scratch my own itch.

Today, I publish an updated version of it, based on the feedback you gave. Now, you can also query for the length, thumbnail, title and description of a youtube video. You can try it out in your browser after getting API keys from Gumroad for free, using the link below.

https://abyesilyurt.gumroad.com/l/screenshot-api

Next, I will add image resolution query to resize the images. What other features would you like to see?
I did not do anything special. I set the graphic settings to Low.
I’m working on a db migration project from MySQL to kv database and Debezium saved the project. Don’t know how we would have done it without it. Really cool tech.
Lula was condemned in 3 different courts. Not unanimously because the higher court judges disagreed about increasing his sentence by a small amount or a lrge amount.

Al the cases were dismissed because a new law was passed that created a new court and said every case like Lula's should be judged only on that new court.
Right, AFAIK they were prevented from posting by one of those interstitials demanding that they delete a specific tweet in order to access their account. Still no new posts from the account so presumably that is still the case.
I just got out of a conversation where surprise was expressed that I didn't know, and prepare, for an upcoming release that was obviously coming.

Well the answer is that no one told me that they were even thinking about releasing. The last I heard we were waiting on the vendor.

Apparently I should have known it was coming and had prepared production servers for it so the roughly week and a half given magically became enough.

What's worse is that technically speaking it can be easily done in that time, it's a people problem. They could technically put pressure where it needs to be, but will they? All signs point to no.

So while I understand putting responsibility for communication onto the developer, there's a responsibility for the others as well and at some point it's just flat not the developers problem.
Not really, no.

Sex, scientifically, is determined by the kind of gametes an organism produces in sexual maturity. Males produce small sex cells, females produce large sex cells. There is no overlap among mammals (i.e. human sex is “binary”)

Gender is a concept made up by feminists with no consistent definition, use mainly to confuse.

Launching Rentaflop – Render your Blender projects without sacrificing quality
Hi HN,
My name is David Sokol, and I'm the founder of rentaflop (https://rentaflop.com). We're a crowdsourced render farm aimed at making Blender rendering fast and affordable.

If you've used Blender, then I'm sure you've experienced the pain of waiting around for your animations to render. You've probably even had to sacrifice the quality of your work to reduce your render times. I've been there too.

Our solution to this dilemma is to leverage low opportunity cost hardware from around the world to allow Blender artists to render their projects quickly, affordably, and without compromising on quality. When artists need to create an animation, instead of lowering the quality of their work to reduce render times or paying thousands to buy or rent the hardware required, they can get fast and affordable rendering without compromising on quality.

We just wrapped up our beta and are now launching to the public! If you'd like to try us, check out our site (https://rentaflop.com) and render your Blender project quickly and affordably!

We posted about our beta on HN a few weeks ago. If you'd like, you can check out the discussion here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32838673). These are some of the features we've added since last time:
1. Price calculator, allowing you to see exactly what you'll pay for a render and view sample frames to verify render correctness.
2. Blender versioned rendering, so you can choose from among several different Blender versions to render your project with.
3. File upload size limit raised to 1 GB, so you can now upload much larger projects than before.
4. Encrypted .blend files, giving you enhanced data privacy and protecting your IP during the rendering process.

Please leave a comment below, we'd love to hear your thoughts :)
You say "it always fails", but also it fails because "extra 3d information is not worth the logistic cost".

Couldn't you conceive of a future where the "logistic cost" drops so incredibly low, that the cost is less than the benefit of the extra information?
“They took me for everything and the kitchen sink.”
That precedent was already there from Tumbler.

But Alex Jones was quite a bit more than just "speech someone doesn't like". It was publicly saying what is factually false, that defamed/slandered people, repeatedly, for a decade.

There's a reason why libel and slander laws are on the books. That stuff wasn't protected. The Alex Jones ruling didn't change that.
My first paradox game was CK3, which I really enjoy. Victoria 3 has been pretty overwhelming but I'm sort of starting to get it. The UI has been difficult to understand. For instance I would like to see who all these "radicals" are but that seems difficult or impossible to drill into. Or how do I know if all my pops needs are being met. The tutorial basically walks you through two concepts and then says go for it (maybe it kicks in later but I played for another 20 minutes and 5 years in game without any further prompts). I found it really frustrating that suddenly gold fields appeared in a state, which got me out of a jam budget wise but how do I build gold mines there to further capitalize on them? And then sometime later they randomly decreased in size. I'm not really sure what I ought to be doing with diplomacy (I'm playing as Hudson Bay Company). Basically the only friendly options I have are improve relations.

All that being said, CK3 was also overwhelming. And after a while the various systems started to click into place and its very fun. Victoria 3 (seems to) have a lot more complex systems though so we'll see.
I don't understand how people keep conflating First Amendment Constitutional rights with the additional layer of "this is a private platform, we prefer not to have it overrun with assholes that make it really unpleasant for everyone else."

1A rights apply to GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE in your expression.

There is no "lack of free speech on Twitter," nor do they owe anyone unrestricted freedom to spread disinfo and hate speech.
> qualify yourself, you've contradicted me!

No. It's friday. Go write some code. The essence of this thread is people feeling they're owed what they aren't.
I'm surprised you don't mention lipid modifications of proteins or membrane fluidity, are those not significant functions?
Typically because that could be a long post, and it might not be what the parent wants too engage with.

I like to invite folks, rather than make assumptions about their preferences. The invitation is open to the community, of course!
I'm ashamed to admit that I was lazy this time, just used their FriendlyWRT build and then debloated. It's easy enough to disable all the packages, but a proper OpenWRT build would be preferable and you could be more confident that it is secure. You should be able to apply the patches from their github repo and build your own OpenWRT image. It was easy when I did it for the R4S (now I think it's supported upstream). The OpenWRT build system is very nice and easy.
>the headset is a headache inducing vestibular system disruptor

What causes this? Is it related to low resolution? Lag between moving your head and moving the image? It is always going to be bad, or is there hope that it can get better in the future?
Can you copy and paste your 20 or so comments in that 3 month period so we can come to our own conclusions on whether a ban was warranted or not?
Same for me. In addition, I exclusively browse YouTube in a private window, so they will have a harder time trying to compile a profile of my interests.
Right to the source code is a completely separate issue from rights to the project name and domain name. You can guarantee decentralised access to the source code but you can't guarantee the same for the name and domain.
ViewComponent in the Wild I: building modern Rails front ends
Just because you have to put up with jokes doesn't make it right. Those people get it all the time and it adds up. While you might be comfortable with it others are not. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9n_UPyVR5s and tell me you don't see the parallels
I mean, I like to bash on Google too, but this is just not even logical.

They want the spyware to run on your hardware. They don't need it on their hardware. If there is spyware on Goog's hardware, I'd be looking at it coming from certain three letter agencies or other nation states.
On youtube's desktop site, I've also noticed that sometime within the last couple months the home page no longer shows the duration of videos when the page loads. After 3-6 seconds, the timestamps pop in. I don't know if this is intentionally or a result of lazy-loading - but seeing that the video thumb, title, author, view count, and age all load instantly with the page, I struggle to come up with a reason it could be unintentional.

This bothers me because I like to know how long a video is before I commit the time to sitting down and watching it. This feels like an attempt at a dark pattern with the intent to improve metrics - surely watch time is a metric youtube cares about.
For those custom servers, I remember reading that Google did not bother unracking and disposing of them, but let the dead ones sit in the rack indefinitely.

They figured out that it was more efficient to have hardware techs spend 100% of their time provisioning new hardware, and just let their software detect the broken servers, power them down, and route the tasks to working servers.
