tl;dr: Leeuwenhoek's lenses, for centuries a mystery, were finally revealed by neutron irradiation to have been made by the same technique Hooke described in Micrographia. His innovation was to look into things nobody thought would have anything interesting to see.
I’m confused about how strongly Nat Friedman and Miguel de Icaza appear to disagree on this one, given that they ran the company together.

Does it mean Nat thinks that not having crunch time at Xamarin was a mistake?

In that order likely a violation, but it depends on the concrete case, always.
First few years are hard. Not just because of the work and the sleepless nights but also the adjustments to you and your partners lives. You need to look directly at that and swallow it down. Embrace the new normal.
Allow each other to have me-time, sharing doesn’t mean you both ‘suffer’ 100% of the time.
The challenges change over the years but just keep working at it and it’s infinitely rewarding.
It’s a bit orthogonal to the topic of this post. As a gay man living in a country with no opportunity to adopt kids and surrogacy being illegal I have given up on hope of having kids and posts like this make me wish I was straight though. I wish you all the happiness.
Mastodon is quite light weight, I don't see how you could possibly need a $30 server for that.

$6 will get you 4 cores, 8GB of RAM and 200GB of storage. If you need more storage, find a cheap S3 host and use that with Mastodon for file storage.

I don't quite see the point of going Amazon specific with an open API like this but I'm sure you can implement ActivityPub using whatever Amazon offers. You'll probably start racking up a bill quite quickly though. I don't see how using AWS is possibly a lower technical barrier when there's a docker-compose file ready to use already.
This is awesome data!! Is there an API folks can use to access this data some ML testing?

Would be interested to see how production (and demand) and weather overlap.
I am passionate about not working and finally doing some hobbies and being a lazy slob at least once a year. At 42 years old I am nowhere near close any of that though and I am slowly losing hope and despairing. But it's the world we're living in, nobody is giving you money for existing so what can you do. I am severely burned out and me switching jobs in the last several years didn't help because I don't want to work no matter where I am, perpetuating the vicious cycle.

Heed this warning, everybody who reads this: learn finances and contracting and negotiations EXTREMELY EARLY in your life. At 22 you should be an expert. If not you'll be a loser like myself who can achieve literally 90% of what any programming task might require of him but has zero savings and is crippled by a burn-out.

Also... try not to be born in a family where the parents are more busy with physically fighting each other and not with raising the kids. :D It helps.

I am grinding hard at my new job and I'll also try to pursue a side hustle with much more money potential. Even though I'd prefer to go somewhere with my wife and not think of any work for 3 years but alas, and again, this is not the world we live in.

Having strong technical intelligence does not correlate with success. Took me 90% of my conscious life to even realize it. Don't be stupid like me.
Why did Google remove the “I'm Feeling Lucky” feature?
Tap water tastes yuk to me. Happy to run that through an RO and chiller for a better taste. As a gourmet experience it is worth the money. Do I need it for survival? Not really.

The slippery slope is if bottled water is a con, aren’t all bottled and canned drinks a con?
I definitely come from the "clock out at 5:30" train of thought but:

> Not once has my overtime paid off in any sense - not even been recognised, costing both my physical and mental health.

I hard disagree. In an environment where the norm, and expectation is to leave on time, a _very rare_ overtime ask can make a significant difference. There's a difference between an occasional ask of overtime, and a culture of the team working 50+ hour weeks. In that world, the difference between a 50 hour and a 55 hour (i.e. 2 evenings of staying later than normal) is minimal, and doesn't pay off.

Some of my biggest successes in my career have been because of overtime, a very occasional weekend, but they are the absolute exception, not the norm.
At social events just think how you’ll feel jumping out of bed without feeling shit.

This looks awesome. I do all my writing (creative writing, outlining, todos) in Bear and really love it. But this app seems like it would make outlining more fun and intuitive. Def gonna try it!

Great to see fresh, innovate apps like this that prioritize fast native experience.

I hope they lose so that the wishes and legal rights of the people who made GitHub great in the first place remain respected.

GitHub is almost like a social network in the way it relies on "the community". Stealing people's code (who made it great) by regurgitating it through an ML code laundering machine, isn't very fair imho.
All those books on parenting you have? Read them before the birth, because after it, you will have zero time and energy to do so.
Spend as much time with them as possible when they are young. They grow up far too quickly.

Considering how easy it is to generate additional examples, I think it's higher than 5. Five big, popular blog posts, maybe; but there are way more than 5 examples just on Twitter.
I recommend using multiple locks. What is important is their usability: try to make sure that the lock can be attached to the frame and that it doesn‘t rattle, also needs to leave enough space for lock up your bike to things that are not the typical bike rack, like lamp posts. I still recommend U-Locks but they‘re so bulky and can seldomly be attached securely to the frame without rattling, so I ended up putting it into my panniers all the time. If you know that you will always commute to a bike rack that allows you to use one of the smaller, hand-sized U-locks, go for it. A folding lock is less secure but very flexible for locking up and often comes with a great, hassle-free frame mount. A cafe lock is not so secure either but is super quick to lock up. Having a complicated lock routine for a bike you can’t afford to have stolen makes you hesitant to stop for short errands or exploration trips by foot. So try to look out for quick, fun to use ways to add security barriers for thieves, because you essentially want to make it slow to break through those barriers and that it requires multiple different tools. Also, you can hide an AirTag or dedicated trackers in non-obvious places.
Insisting on highly skilled developers burning out just to reach some quarterly goal.

I don't know if you can make a more obvious example as to why the elite needs to hang.
I don't deny frauds in credit agencies. However, somebody was buying banks' CDOs? Who, ancient aliens? No, they weren't called surprime because credit agencies cheated on their rating, they were called so because they were inherently risky more than a normal mortgage ( so called ninja loans, no income, no job ). That's the people were buying this shit with the all time low rate loans. Human greed huh? That's less convenient than blaming banks for all the evil in this world
It is possible via JS to place the cursor in that position. The issue is the a native browser cursor navigation skips over it. It would be quite possible to implement this on a contenteditable editor.

That particular bug with slack would be possible to fix with JS. The particular difference about that style is there is a little bit of padding at the start of the style. Bowsers have no understanding of clicking on that padding to select inside the the beginning of the inline style.
You will lose all your freedom to work on side projects
> This model works in the same way as GPT-3. It's just predicting what the next most likely word will be given the previous words. It does this by creating a generalizaiton over the content that was used to train it. This generalization should be similar (or close to the same) to if it had a completely different set of training data.

It's not enough of a generalization to be acceptable IMO.

Let's see GPT-3 as something analogous to a brain. Human brains can do multiple things:

- learn through experience and re-use concepts, but writing completely original code,

- copy a program's structure without copy-pasting the code, effectively re-writing it,

- copy the exact code, with a few minor details changed.

Currently, Copilot does a lot of the last point [1]. So just like humans can choose different actions and the legality depends on the action, ML models can do different things, and these aren't automatically legal by virtue of coming from an ML model.

It's not enough to argue about how machine learning works. ML can do tons of things, and GitHub's current methodology leads to something close to copy-paste. Maybe it can learn a semi-original way to write common things like searching in a list, but for more exotic uses like complex algorithms, being unable to actually understand how to code, it basically has to act as a search engine for existing implementations.

> Do you now owe Disney royalties because you stored their movie in your memories?

That argument makes no sense. Nobody would be complaining if GitHub had just trained a model on that code. The potentially illegal part is offering a service that creates "new" Disney-like movies by assembling parts of Disney's IP.

I am passionate about learning about different cultures and languages.

Over time, and due to some setbacks in the early part of my career, I lost this passion of mine somewhere while playing catchup with the rest. Things are now becoming more stable on the career side. And I want to channel that inner curious person in me again - who wants to see the world, explore places, learn about different cultures, societies, languages etc. - and share that with people.

I grew up in an environment where travel is regarded as an extreme luxury: my parents have never been abroad. I, on the other hand, truly feel happy when I am in a very different environment - observing, learning, immersing myself in a different place and culture.

Apart from English and Hindi, I self-learned reading/writing Urdu, I can speak fluent Russian, and German/Polish/Ukrainian on a basic level.

In the last 2 years, I did the Trans-Siberian journey across Russia and recently visited South-East Asia. I am in India currently and plan to move to Germany in Q1 2023 and start making YouTube videos. Being based out of Europe should make my traveling abroad easier.

While there're gazillions of YouTube channels in travel/living abroad segment already, I don't want to chase after the fame of a "YouTuber" Nonetheless, I find that videos/photos accompanies by commentary are better ways to share your journey than a blog only.

What is stopping me is that I get into analysis-paralysis a lot and feel shy about sharing my vlogs - I want it look perfect and capture everything but end up sharing barely anything.

I am gradually working on it by being more intentional - making Instagram stories and sharing videos with commentary on my family groups on WhatsApp. I very much hope that I'm able to Germany by Spring and look forward to tips/suggestions on YouTube vlogging, storywriting, travel and just support in general.
It took twenty years from prototype to success:

> By 1913, Barnack had news to record in his workshop journal: “Lilliput camera for cine film completed.”

> After World War I postponed the development of Barnack’s 35mm camera, Ernst Leitz II moved forward with the project.

> In 1923, Leitz produced 23 Leica 0-Series cameras, which had a fixed 50mm f/3.5 lens.

> Released at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1925, the Leica I (also called the Leica A) began to impress photographers.

> By 1933, Leitz had sold 100,000 of its new Leica cameras

It's also amazing how long it took to diffuse into the rest of society; in my family in France, people were still buying bizarre and unpractical compact medium format cameras well into the 50s, and used them until the end of the 70s at least. I still have them, and it's a mystery why anyone would subject to that when 35mm film had been available for so long.
Very hard agree.

No matter how "right" you might think it is because of various reasons, it's mutilation of a child's organ, and it's irreversible.
Sure but folks quickly adopted "RT" as an informal means to re-tweet, then Twitter formalised the idea as a feature.

As a fan of roguelikes (not saying DF is a roguelike)/turn-based/grid-based games, I wish more of these "classical" games would take a look at the HUGE improvements to animation/motion that Jupiter Hell implemented. Seeing a game be released in 2022 and the character still mechanically slides from one grid cell to the next is painful. Not saying a hate it or wouldn't play a game that still does it, but seems to be holding the related genres back.
I already trust Debian's repositories with my system; so getting Signal from Debian's repositories would not make my system or Signal more vulnerable. By adding Signal's deb repositories, I need to also trust Signal not to mess with the rest of my system.

I'm no lawyer, but judging how people reacted to DeCSS (09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0, anyone?)… why do you say this isn't copyright infringement?
How is that a slippery slope? Last time I checked coca cola and Fanta don't come out of the ground - Water does though. And tap water taste depends heavily on location.
> ... and it's a mystery why anyone would subject to that when 35mm film had been available for so long.

Medium format film still provides greater resolution and enables some processing techniques not feasible with 35 mm film, for example making contact prints possible.
Not really. They are in the business of spying on every living human being and offering that as a service to more or less scrupulous agencies.
> However, this may be incorrect, but it does require a population that is always willing to fight against the formation of a government

It's kind of akin to the paradox of tolerance. A tolerant society cannot remain so unless it remains vigilant against intolerance, and likewise a stateless society cannot remain so unless it remains vigilant against the state. Both sorts of vigilance are possible; the question is whether or not they're practical (and my hope is that the answer to both is "yes").
Hello from Bangkok, Thailand! I have always been, and hope to always remain, passionate about art.

Mostly visual art in the "fine art" and "Art World" sense, but also any and all creativity that channels the human spirit to create things (even just ideas) that never existed before in the world.

Yesterday I organized a group of 23 people to see a hotel art fair named Hotel Art Fair[0]. Some were art nerds like me, some rarely look at pictures with intent. The day before, I listened to a musician I like talk about the need to give to your creativity.[1]

Knowing that most people never engage with the world of visual arts, I wish to suggest that if you happened to read this comment, please consider taking a moment to go look at art. Online, or offline if you can. Any style, any medium. Artsy (no affiliation) is a decent starting point and most of the art there doesn't require any special knowledge to appreciate.[2]

The controversial German art-shaman Joseph Beuys[3] said Jeder Mensch ein Künstler, every human is an artist, and I agree. Find your creativity, it's out there looking for you!

Great! Maybe you can help me out. Some 10 years ago i went to an exhibition in portugal showing old woodcut illustrations of fables. These were released as a book which i held in my hands once but cannot find anymore. I thought the name was montaigne but probably my mind is playing tricks on me.

I think you've put the comma in the wrong place in that quote..

Assuming you aren't actually saying that "their life is over", the comma should move forward one word in your sentence to show that it is "life as you know it" being over, rather than life being over "as you (already) know".
> (I somewhat agree about the io.Reader case where returning both the number of "screwed up" bytes and an error can be useful, though perhaps the number of bytes should be encoded in the error type instead. I rarely care about them.)

Or you can just keep it as-is because it's one of the very few cases where it does make sense to have a product type.
> Isn't Dijkstra the same as BFS?

That's because demonstrating Dijkstra on a grid is as useful as demonstrating air resistance in vacuum. In a grid with only horizontal and vertical Dijkstra will produce same order as BFS (but more slowly). You could see some difference if you treated diagonal moves as having sqrt(2) length, but such distance metric is rarely useful. Either you simplify things by having grid and not allowing diagonal movement or treating them like like them length 1, or you allow free 2D movement at arbitrary angles with proper euclidean geometry and distances. Treating diagonal distances as sqrt(2) is worst of both approaches. You loose most of the simplification provided by grid and can't evaluate it in head or on a paper, but it still doesn't produce geometrically accurate results.

One case where Dijkstra on a grid would make sense if you treated entering and exiting certain cells as slower=longer distance. Might be useful if you modeled a game where certain cells contain difficult to traverse terrain like mountains or swamp.
Windows Defender says that the binary has Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml inside it.
I assume that if they train the model only on GPLv2, then the generated code might be legal to be used under GPLv2 license. Similar could be done with some other open source licenses as well.

Thanks for this! There are more than 400 comment here, so my post will be probably buried instantly but I just need to share this with someone!

I just have finished playing A Plague Tale: Requiem[1] a few days ago, and I spent the last two days with this strange feeling of sadness, almost grieving. It is such a masterpiece of emotions, the story of the bond of a sister and brother who went through hell to save the boy.

I remember the first game had the same effect when I played it the first time. For days I felt the with a mix of sadness and happiness. The developers have been successful creating such a strong bond to the characters that I felt I am practically there next to them, experiencing the pain and happy moments alike.

I really suggest everyone who has the smallest intention to play games to experience these two masterpieces[2][3]. (You definitely need to play the first game to be able to experience the second to its fullest.)

Since we are on HN, one technical detail that impress me so much the number of unique animations they created to give life to the word around us and to show the bond between the two of them. Like how Amicia waits for Hugo to get down from the ladder every time or how Amicia picks Hugo up multiple times during the storyline to carry him.

Thanks for letting me share this, I hope all of you have a nice day!

Wow, I had no idea it was still going to be like that in the final Steam version. It looks more like an amateur overlay someone could have cranked out in a month than a years-long project. Frankly that jank makes me prefer the original graphics. At least you expect single glyphs to blink around.
I am currently discovering how to roast coffee. On the surface it is not that complicated as it only requires green beans and a way to apply heat to them.

Green beans can easily be found on the Internet and applying heat can be done with an inexpensive air popcorn machine. Put the beans in the machine, turn it on, wait for the beans to crack and voila you have roasted coffee.

Obviously with a kitchen appliance not made for that, there is not much control over the heat profile applied to the beans. This is where the interesting part happens: people have been hacking their pop corn machines for decades to better roast coffee, for example:

- Drilling a hole in the machine to put a temperature sensor in contact with the beans.

- Putting a relay on the heating element to control it electronically.

- Using an Arduino/Raspberry Pi to make the machine follow a predefined temperature profile.

Lots of fun ways to turn a machine into something completely different.
