If the concern is police was artificially increasing crime through intentional lack of enforcement, your outcomes aren’t right

If DA exits, and crime increases, then it probably wasn’t the police artificially fiddling with things (because they would revert to norm after exit). But then whatever the DA was doing was apparently working, so his exiting isn’t so great.

If DA exits, and crime decreases, then:

1. If police were artificially meddling, and stopped meddling after exit, then this is what we’d expect

2. If police were not artificially meddling, and DA was the cause due to soft-on-crime, then this is what we’d expect

If DA exits, and crime stays the same, then artificial meddling and DA policy either didn’t occur, or had no impact.

Item 1 of crime decrease is not what “we” wanted. Item 2 is a good outcome. But I don’t see how you’d differentiate in this simplification.
Yeah but we paid into a social fund for Medicare and social security. It’s not tax revenue it’s our savings.
I work on a laptop from the previous generation (Infinity Book Pro 14 Gen6) and I'm very happy with it. At first I had some doubts, but it ended up being a great "Linux" laptop.
Depends on the child, but started with Scratch with mine for the visuals. I've heard good things about Swift Playgrounds recently too but it was rougher a few years ago. One thing that I'm not doing is pushing this too heavily as there are so many other potential interests they could develop and (I believe that) the set of STEM options are wider these days -- excepting chemistry kits which all seem to have been neutered.
Some people have the energy to do two jobs at once even if they don't strictly need the money to survive (like many minimum wage workers do); if they can keep themselves in check, that's a great way to make more money and build up a comfortable life or prepare for an early retirement.

It's not for everyone and it's certainly not the standard. There are also people who work themselves to death and pretend to be fine. I'm sure it _can_ be healthy and fine if that is what you want; it just shouldn't be expected of people.
It's scroll-snapping, but it looks like it does more harm than good on some browsers so I just removed it. Please refresh :)
I wonder what these selfish unprincipled people will decide is "superior"?
Others mentioned Chrome doing this, but it never really seemed to work reliably for me.

This actually came up in a thread the other day, so feels weird to be talking about it again, but I've been playing with Arc[1] lately. Took me a while to get used to how they treat tabs (almost more like bookmarks) but I've enjoyed it. Squirrel the ones I want to truly keep around into folders ("To Review", "Some Project"), but all the randomly opened tabs automatically get closed after a specified time period (default 24 hours, I have mine set to a week). When I hit cmd+t I can _reasonably_ often get to the right tab I've already got open.

I have a feeling the honeymoon will end when they start trying to figure out a monetization strategy, but so far I'm rooting for them.

I think people are mad because they disagree with the whole reason the library exists in the first place. Sure, obviously the site advertising the scrolling library should probably use the scrolling library. But it's still an awful idea and just shouldn't exist in the first place.
Also Elizabeth didn't do this:

Michael Lewis, who is famous for writing The Big Short and Moneyball, has reportedly been embedded with the bankrupt crypto exchange’s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried for six months and will pen a book telling the inside story.
Agree. For my software products, Linux was always the OS where people complain the most and then expect to pay the least. Mac users, on the other hand, tend to be much more willing to pay for a good experience.
Unnecessarily extra long title of presentation (Google search)
> You want the justice department, a branch of the goverment, to not be political?

This is like asking "you want the fire dept to not be political?"

Of course you don't want the executive branch to not be political. They are the administration. If the IRS just goes after whoever the current reigning party doesn't like, you'll soon no longer have a functioning democracy.
Oh my god this guy is going to jail so hard it's wild to watch. It just gets deeper and deeper
Opened up Game bar.

But ignore the game streaming feature. You could use this to record screen with audio and do a mix between multiple sound sources.
thanks for adding it! I find so interesting in terms of how we market it that you added it to the "3D & visuals" category, when it had audio features before even being able to display anything haha
"US-based companies Google and Amazon comply with US laws regarding search warrants"
Are the immigrants' passports confiscated so that they cannot leave?

If you genuinely believe that, why don't you move to Qatar?
Textbooks are insanely expensive because corporations got involved.

Lecturers should use free or independently published resources to prevent the extortion of student "consumers".
Just manual settings I could use to say "always open this site in tab group X" or "prompt to move this site to tab groups Y or Z if I open it somewhere else (but with the option not to)" would probably make it usable-enough for me.
I always found the idea to be bizarre.

The group of people for which a browser is truly horrendously slow would be on something like a low-end Windows laptop. From mid-end and upwards it's fine (or good enough) and for Mac users pretty much never an issue.

The people with such crappy hardware are exactly the group to not be able to afford 35$ a month. That's like the price of 3 or 4 streaming services combined. Just to browse!?
This sounds like Italic[1], albeit maybe a different target segment (budget versus luxury). Speaking as a Costco member, I don't see Costco tie-in.

Am hearing (grapevine) that a lot of people are taking Musk up on the 'c̶a̶k̶e̶ severance, please' option regarding his "take 3 months severance or sign up for eternal death-march" deadline that just passed.

It's going to be interesting to find out what those numbers are, and what sort of engineer stayed. If you think enough of yourself and your abilities, you'd have to be really risk-averse to stay for that sort of "offer", IMHO.
They mention that the files start at 700mb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33646345

> APL languages don't benefit much from compilation

Sorry, but this is nonsense. APL tends to spend all its time waiting for memory, because it fuses nought. And it benefits as much as anybody else from things like common subexpression elimination and loop-invariant code motion. APL implementations appear to be fast because of a few extenuating factors:

1. C compilers kind of suck, and c kind of sucks for writing fast code, yet it is the de-facto standard, so it is what things are compared to.

2. Developers of apl implementation care about and prioritise performance.

3. In comparison with languages such as python, and in particular their popular implementations, apl spends very little time on dispatch.
Win + P is cool

Well, they're welcome to it -- at least once a week, I use dodge-skid-stop, a specific skill I formally acquired by trying to do it and dropping the training bike a bunch while a grouchy 65yo biker glowered at my incompetence until it evaporated. Take my money

No, provided that both give proper attribution and follow the license the code is released under.
I think it's more of a hybrid approach, the web renderer was running in the cloud, the ui was native and local.

I beleve Citrix is mostly a standard VNC type product where everything is rendered on a server and streamed. I was envisaging a toolkit to enable you to build an app where parts of it run in cloud, parts of it locally.

Think of a 3D cad tool, the ui could be all local, but the rendering and compute is in the cloud. Or a 3d physics based ray tracing app, you could do the 3d wire frame locally, but have the real-time ray tracing happening on a very large server.

On top of that, by have a cloud based state, it's only one step away from marking that state shared with other users to enable collaboration.
That seems hard to manage if you have data upgrades. For example, a new version adds new data fields, obsoleting old ones. If you don't renew, you have to revert to a version from 12 months ago? That version doesn't support the new data fields, only the old ones, which no longer exist. Or maybe I don't get it.
This is a great point that too few people think about. I like to take travel time and mandatory lunch breaks into account when I'm figuring out my 'adjusted' wage, and I use that number when thinking about getting a different job or taking time off. Your time isn't ACTUALLY worth $20/hr (or whatever), its more like 16, or less if you factor in taxes.
This comedy special (netflix) was fantastic. My wife doesn't normally enjoy standup, but she liked it too. It's PG and everything is so relatable (at least for Americans).
My kids aren't old enough yet, but I started my nephew out with a raspberry pi Kano kit (wouldn't recommend Kano anymore as they went all in on crypto instead of education). But it had a couple things that he somewhat understood. Some nice Scratch tutorials to build games that he found fun. There's also bashcrawl which turns basic unix commands into an adventure game. At 9 his reading comprehension wasn't quite there to grasp it without a lot of help from me.

I think I'll focus on talking through decision making logic with my kids until they can read decently and then we can try some Scratch and other simple programming concepts.
You can save memory by having fewer fields. This can matter when you have lots of small arrays.

Vec<u8> has {usize length, usize capacity, void* data}. Box<[u8]> has {usize length, void* data}. Box<[u8;N]> has {void* data}.
San Francisco Sees Risk of Lost Revenue as Remote Work Prevails
It's probably not along with many other industries that sorely need the Sherman act, but the DOJ would have to bring charges and sometimes it's not politically popular especially during periods of bad economy to do so
What bothers me in modern browser UIs is the distinction between bookmarks and tabs. They are really the same thing. Bookmarks are just inactive tabs. And tabs are just bookmarks (that I haven't deleted). Closing a tab is the same as deleting a bookmark. Searching tabs or searching bookmarks - should be the same thing.

Just call them both "pages" and keep last N active in memory.
Visit any courtroom in America. It's poor people who commit small crimes who end up in prison. Wall St. fat cats who push opiates on the masses get away with murder and get a slap on the wrist.
I don't understand why companies are building customer communities on Slack or Discord.

I kind of get it for consumer brands where there is a natural passion around the topic/product, but the last thing I want to be invited to as a B2B customer is a Slack or Discord group.

Who has the time to figure out the channel structure and community rules/conventions, get even more notifications, scroll through endless chat threads, etc. just to stay up to date or share feedback about a B2B product?

Am I just an oddball and don't get it? HN please help me figure out what I'm missing because I keep getting invited to Discord customer communities for B2B SaaS products and I just have zero desire to join, ever...
I'd love to see more of what you mean by high quality.

People have different ideas what that implies with regards to materials, fabric weaves, stitching and construction.

And TikTok videos that go into detail get a lot of views! it can be very interesting and informative.

Plus, for someone like me, when I see you say "high quality" I assume you're just doing marketing puffery, and dismiss your sales pitch, assuming you mean poly or a poly blend with simple construction. If you were like "long staple cotton" then I would really pay attention.
There is a framework that we used to use for tim classification in manufacturing that was based around adding value to the product - in software that would be coding, testing, etc. Then there is necessary non-value add, like meetings and slack, that are needed (so are work as you say) but don't in themselves make the product directly, so you want to minimize time spent on them while still accomplishing whatever is needed (obviously easier said then done). Same goes for admin stuff. And then there is non-value add, like HN or whatever.

Personally, I think the non-value add category doesn't translate from a factory to coding. If your job is putting boxes on a pallet, when you're browsing HN instead you probably don't do it faster later. When coding, at least for me, I take breaks to think or clear my mind, and I'm not swapping productive coding for online time wasting, browsing HN (or taking a walk or coffee) is a necessary part of the work that improves productivity.

All that to say, meetings and other management stuff can and should be streamlined as much as possible, small breaks, not necessarily. If someone is actually typing code (or an equivalent activity) 25% of their time sitting at the computer, I'd consider that e extremely productive.
Perhaps so, but your link is to the USA, not for the entire world.
Future of knowledge work [0]:

1. 5-hour work day, not pretending busy work for 8 or even 12 full hours (eg, 996 in China tech corps)

Knowledge work, especially creative work, is just different from hard manual labor. More work hours won’t necessarily produce more value

For some people / jobs, maybe 2-hour work day is enough.

@tobi says it well [1]: "For creative work, you can't cheat. My believe is that there are 5 creative hours in everyone's day. All I ask of people at Shopify is that 4 of those are channeled into the company."

2. One or multiple part-time jobs

For some part-time jobs, you work for money; for others, you work for fun/impact.

See how @gumroad works [2]: No Meetings, No Deadlines, No Full-Time Employees

3. Streaming income in real time, rather than bulk income once or twice per month

You have a stream of small incomes 24/7. Some are passive incomes, while others are active incomes. You get paid directly from customers you serve, not from a proxy (eg HR in big corp). Anytime during the day, you know how much you’ve made so far

Is there any of this that could not be done on a daily basis?

Requests go on a memory card at the end of the day, onto the signing device which signs them for a year, back on the card and onto the network-connected device from where they are mailed back to the customer.

BTW, most FAANG companies monitor and record everything you are doing, you just don't hear about it because they are smart about it. But when SHTF, you learn very quickly. Also ask Meta devs about their typical workload if they want to keep their jobs (they actually have to work).
I believe some of this is due to changes in what types of olives were considered desirable. I'm not an expert, but some of the green stuffing olives have been replaced with different varieties. Also there are pests and diseases that are taking over, so newer resistant varieties are valuable replacements.

Three years is also not a terrible time period compared to other nut trees that are grown in the area, specially if harvesting can be improved to be less manual. Some of the trees that are being replaced are 80-100 years old, so the wood can be a valuable resource that will cover the costs.
They have no option indeed, but it's interesting to see how easy this made it to connect the dots.
Based on the first result, this is the default title of the IUPUI powerpoint template. Seems like a bunch of people borrow this template, and the original title stays on the document.
You can retype it. I don't there are any supporting sheets. It should take like 2 minutes

Obvious fix: break up the biggest meat & dairy companies into a huge number of smaller companies, cutting the "emissions from 15 of the biggest" value by ~100x.

(Or, maybe it'd be better to focus on metrics which aren't so easily gamed?)
I'm not sure about the AMD option, but I can speak to the Intel trade-offs. H-Series CPUs are designed to be the "laptop workhorse" at a TDP of about 47W - whereas most laptops built for battery life nowadays use U-Series CPUs with a TDP of 15-17W depending on the generation.
I definitely get the tilting aspect for League, I found it generally un-fun to play competitively without the right team. ARAMs however were generally more enjoyable for me as while people are still playing to win there's usually a more reasonable set of expectations. I suppose it does make the highs higher, but spending 30 minutes in a game with frustrated people isn't a very good time. Maybe that's part of the reason some people will /ff so early.

For me at least it stops being fun if people are legitimately upset about what's happening versus people enjoying playing the game together. In general esports seems to have really turned this dial for games in general towards competitive, with a shift in focus from moment to moment gameplay being fun to climbing ELO and completing battlepass tiers.

For what it's worth if this sounds like scrub salt I was GM in Overwatch for the first few seasons (back then people actually talked too) so I get the appeal, but long term it just feels like a second job after a while.
Any phone can still use Maps based on GPS, meaning any phone can send their location via GPS. Why not make an emergency beacon feature with this ?
Yes, that’s why I said that?

You can’t embed binary data in xml raw, so a common pattern is embedding it as base64, or similar type of wrapping.

Technically, it’s possible to escape it in other ways, but it’s error prone.

Either way, XML which has text strings or whatever typical XML document data that ISN’T something like base64 encoded random data should compress dramatically better than what the poster was talking about.

So, what the hell is in your XML anyway?

The SweeTango apple was developed by the University of Minnesota (UM), which also developed its parents, the Honeycrisp and Zestar! apples. Accordingly, SweeTango is intellectual property owned by UM and licensed to our farmer cooperative of 47 growers that sell the fruit throughout the United States and Canada. In fact, our growers lease the trees.

There is one that advertises heavily and comes up on job searches. I don't recall the name, but you can tell because of the weird range of salaries, like $50k for a developer while paying $300k for the manager. When I dug in I saw they use this kind of tracking software.
What I'm saying is comparing wages is meaningless. If you compare what a month of work gets you in USA, it's astounding compared to what it go you 150 years ago. Imagine buying a beat up car, internet connected computer, cell phone, refrigerator, etc. That's where the productivity growth went: Into better stuff, not into bigger piles of shells.
> This used to be handled by having a non-free cafeteria.

Well, if the food can be provided for cheap enough, it may make more sense to give it away free than to handle all the accounting hassle.

> This recent stuff that tech workers are entitled to a free meal at work or to go spend an hour+ to go to a restaurant for lunch every day is a very new thing.

Its not. It was a practice very widespread in most of the world's social democracies, especially in government organizations, in order to lift up the life standards of the members. Its still used in a lot of countries. The US has 'rediscovered' it through the tech companies. Just like its 'rediscovering' company-provided housing and all the other tangible benefits that the rest of the world still practices instead of leaving their employees to the mercy of the market.
> It's not clear how much of this was caused by Legoland and how much Legoland is just an example of bond market troubles

It is pretty clear. Almost every single report on the bond market attributes this incident as a direct cause of the turmoil. Sentiments drive the market and this is a signal strong enough to spread FUD among the market. If you cannot trust government-issued bonds, then what else you can trust?

Of course, this is not the sole reason. Your question is more of a counterfactual reasoning, like "would it happen if the market is in a better situation". It might be better, but you are not supposed to throw embers when oil's leaking.
Thanks! To be honest, I’m not sure what change, or series of changes, finally lead to the app getting approved. As for keeping the permissions that the app has, well, let’s just say, after reading too many posts about developers running into issues with these permissions, I’m surprised I have not yet had them revoked! For what it’s worth, I documented the fun times I went through to create this app at https://medium.com/@mtc.dev/my-first-android-app-story-331c9....

Cheers!

From the article:

> The point I am trying to make? If you dislike Twitter’s new direction, why don’t you quietly close your account and find a new home?

This is a small glimpse of the shamelessly apologetic white knighting that emanates from the article. A billionaire cannot do no harm or be held to scrutiny because, as the result of a major screwups, was forced by a court of law to purchase a company. Said billionaire cannot be scrutinized when he's speed running through the destruction of a service used by the whole world. Said billionaire cannot do any harm because another billionaire stated he bought other companies.

Does the validity of any criticism directed at Elon Musk change depending on the net worth of anyone criticized for making the exact same torrent of errors?
I once had access (local grocer) to apples that were green on the outside and red fleshed on the inside. I forget the name and haven't seen them in years. Wish I could find them again as they were perfect for this time of year.
Will never happen just like how undocumented migrants are exploited by meat processing plants while being de-facto shielded from deportation... because corporations and money talk.
That's because conventional store apples are coated with wax and organic ones are not. Wax often has bad, usually bitter, taste and unpleasant texture.

Organic apples are not coated with wax, so they taste better, but will dry up faster.
I presume you are just selling blanks, LA Apparel/Comfort Colors/whatever?
