30 years on the Internet and I am still waiting to see the huuuuuge damage I get from companies tracking me online. Because targeted ads I didn't mind.

But you had to equate them with bioweapons and teen suicide. Do you really find them comparable? How?!

Meanwhile millions of man-hours are wasted across the EU hunting and closing annoying cookie consent dialogs. Small ad-supported business which existed since the beginning of the internet now don't. And we don't even know what we are missing.

Because this is how regulations damage the world: they embrace a (supposed) benefit but nobody compares it with the price paid. Opportunities missed. And what should be in the end a personal decision is stolen from us in an overpowering decision made in our names and "for our own good".
I believe he’s incorrectly inferring that google passes through confidential information through its mapping program, which is false as it’s believed fairly widely (and possibly admitted) some parts of their global coverage are omitted or altered. Either way, google mapping “everything” versus one dude driving to this place, launching his drone, then taking photographs of one specific target, imho isn’t the same thing.

> But don't complain about the year of Linux on the Desktop never arriving, because this kind of bug is not acceptable for a production operating system.

Are we pretending Windows doesn't exist? In my experience, Windows has been awfully buggy and sometimes downright unusable.

When I used KDE Neon for the first time, the first thought that came to my mind was: "How can a trillion dollar corporation not make this good of a software?" because even after being a Windows fanboy for decades, the bugs on the Windows side compared to FOSS made me realize the reality.
I won't use it to build a website until we get something like Django, or at least something like Flask's ecosystem. I want automatic (or at least easy and without DRY problems) DB migrations. I want an auto-generated admin page; auth; email.

I will continue using Rust for embedded, 3D graphics, and desktop PC programs, but won't touch it for websites until this is solved.
If anything, you'd need B = Transpose [B] as A and B are not related.
Realistically speaking, she probably had no idea what was happening to her money. That's why she pays professionals to handle it.

It's like blaming her for a compromise on her website. Do you think she has any idea that her wordpress (example) was an old version?
An anime called Psycho-Pass comments on this. A system existed to replace the remote view with a cartoonish environment with chicken characters so the operators would not receive psychological harm from operating a violet instrument.
Makes sense.

The presence of accurate records and corporate controls makes it much harder to loot the company and its depositors and lenders and get away with it.

The most hilarious aspect of this is the difference between SBF's public image before and after the collapse.

It turns out he was a complete fraud, and a complete failure in trading and business.
What communist country? And come on, you are mixing up absolutely different things.. Economic left has absolutely nothing to do with this new-wave “liberal” thinking which is pretty much an American thing and is more of a propaganda to be able to point fingers.

Like, how “woke” China is in your opinion? Genociding Uyghurs doesn’t seem too “leftist” to me.
That second step requires work life balance rather then workplace being also the place where you are expected to socialize on top of working. Because that additional workplace socializing takes additional time ... making you not having time to meet up with former collegues.
My main gripe with QT is that apps created with it are, as a rule, ugly and non-native feeling.

My suspicion is that this is because QT widgets sort of look like native widgets but aren’t quite there, causing it to fall into some kind of “uncanny valley” analogue.
You're changing value stores in this scenario, which mitigates the loss but doesn't eliminate it. WHat makes you think that $10 accurately represents some set of physical goods for which it can be exchanged? What about when you start exchanging like-for-like at different agreed rates? If we equate wealth to money, and money is largely based on shared faith and acceptance, then when that agreement shifts wealth most certainly is created and disappears out of and into thin air.
Love that the screenshot of the internet outages includes an outage that impacted me recently (WOW!), that I learned of at the time via CF Radar :)
It's a typical case of a problem that we really think could be fixed by technology, but you're only adding or changing technology layers and the end result doesn't change, because it's not a technological problem, but a human one.

People can be confident in paper votes because they can understand how to audit the result, and who does it.
The best e-voting software in the world can provide that level of trust only to some engineers who know the code, and only if they can audit all the systems where the software is deployed.

It's like passwords, it can't work if part of the population has no clue why it's needed or how it works. It's even worse with blockchain, because you can't put everything on the blockchain, it needs to interact with the real world, and that's where you can cheat the system (like stealing the keys of people in retirement homes because they don't know what they are for - sure it happens with paper but it's harder to do and easier to catch them in the act).
the US does not subsidise other countries, not to the degree that you think anyways.

It’s also not a matter of spending more money. The US spends a lot more per capita on healthcare than everyone else, so money is not the issue.

I don’t think that’s right. Thiel acquired all this money in his Roth IRA by directing his venture investments through it. You need money to make venture investments, and he got the money in his Roth by putting tons of PayPal stock in there. Now the rule is that you can only contribute $6,000 a year to the account, less back then, but thiel put huge amounts of stock in. This all happened pretty much the day before they took millions in funding which would’ve made his stock too valuable to put in the Roth. Imo that is fraud. He knew the stock was worth more than the limit and he still put it in the account. But since the value wasn’t officially set until the next week it’s too much of a hassle to prove that he mispriced the stock to the irs.

The government should still come after him for fraudulently misvaluing his company if the statute of limitations hasn’t expired. There is no chance Peter would’ve sold that stock to investors for whatever the Roth limit was.
Quietly accepting the abuse, and getting angry are two sides of the same coin, both of which are basically "just embracing the dystopia." Notice that the same people that do the first, will eventually do the second once pushed far enough, with ultimately, the same results.

It's perfectly fine to express displeasure in a calm and collected way, the same way you would patiently correct a child... e.g. "I am really disappointed that ____, can you please ____?" (without being sarcastic or condescending)

But losing your cool doesn't correct anything, it just expresses emotional weakness and makes the person dislike you and not want to help you. Someone customer facing at a place like Google sees angry upset customers all day long, and probably makes fun of them to their friends and family, but doesn't go out of the way to help them.

What they don't often see is people showing strength and calm in the face of this BS. Someone that can endlessly adapt and redirect things back to their own clear goals regardless of what is thrown at them, without even needing to be adversarial. Think Bruce Lee's "Be like water." In most cases, this will be off script for them, and they actually won't know how to deal with that other than giving you what you want.
If a person wants an industry to succeed, they will want companies in the industry to behave honestly. And if a company behaves dishonestly, they will want the dishonest company to leave that industry. Why is that so hard to believe?
>The ACLU has (in)famously defended the kkk and other nationalists with terrible ideas. Hyperbole is useful for illustrating a point, but I don't know if that is warranted here.

Are you naive or just being misleading on purpose? In lieu of the reality in the here and now your comment is just as hyperbolic as the one you are deriding for being hyperbolic.

The ACLU defended the KKK a generation ago. People have retired and been replaced. Organizational priorities have shifted. Things have changed. That's not the kind of hill that organization will risk dying on in 2022.

That said, the guy here is a lot less onerous than the KKK so maybe they will help him, but I sure wouldn't bet on it.
Large-scale pirates that can actually reach a significant amount of people almost never rip-off indie creators, and even if they do, they are the least likely to impact sales - people are unlikely bother acquiring illegitimate copies of obscure indie works as against big-brand stuff whose names they have actually heard of.

I really doubt the sales of the graphic novel that friend of yours were impacted in any non-negligible way by it being ended up on a piracy site. If anything, it might as well have worked as an advertisement.

I once spent a month blind taste-testing apples with my wife to compare the apples in our supermarket. We learned 4 things:

1) Most of the Honeycrisp varietals that make it to market are good (Wild Twist and Cosmic Crisp being our favorites), but…

2) The time of year makes a HUGE difference. It seems obvious when I say it, but different varietals from different farms are best in different weeks. Honeycrisp has an advantage here because it has so many growers that someone is keeping a batch in good condition for practically every week of the year.

3) You have to go by the apples in your local market. Lists like these are hard to use because there are many more apples on it than you have available to choose from - most grocery stores only stock 3-10 varieties depending on time of year

4) Your use case is critical. Obviously baking a pie requires a different apples from eating, but even if you are just eating the apples raw there are differences. Some apples beat others in texture when cut up, but have the wrong density to eat by biting down on the apple

After all our testing, we mostly went back to Honeycrisp because it’s so reliable.
olx.bg is a place where it can be found some gear but it is not a dedicated place and there are very few options. It's like a local version of eBay. Mainly old Pravetz computers some of which are clones of Apple II and Pravetz 8D which is a clone of Oric Atmos. I'm not sure about the working condition of the computers which can be purchased there.

From a recent [article by The Register]:

An industry source working in software development told us: "I have worked on high pressure projects and if there is one lesson to be taken away from all of them is that longer hours result in negative productivity when it comes to code because you have to undo more (initially undetected) errors and engage in more debugging than if you ensured that people took the breaks they need.

"I have personally hauled someone off their chair and dragged them into a pub to eat something and then go home because they had coded through the night. Although I appreciate the effort, in my opinion you also have a duty as manager to ensure your crew stays sane and healthy - evidently Musk doesn't see it that way.'

In my opinion this is very much true.

Ticketmaster works "well enough" that venues have no compelling reason to switch.

A startup may offer a "10% better" set of features, but that's not enough for the venue to justify the large switching costs and large risk that would be involved in trying out a competing product.

For such a switch to be justified, the alternative product's feature set would have to be 100x better -- a "gamechanger" that fundamentally alters the way the venue does business, not merely offers minor improvements.

eBay is still your best bet if you're looking for a deal on the Internet. The trick is not to be in a hurry, if you don't want to pay retail. Either buy from a seller who guarantees their stuff as working, or pay significantly less and plan on fixing it or sending it off to be fixed.
Shipping is going to absolutely kill you.

https://int10h.org/blog/2021/04/safe-crt-monitor-shipping-51... is an example of what you'll have to deal with.

You will need to find someone in the USA (and in Europe or other locations) who can help you on the other side, and even then you're going to have problems. Read up on the various shipping fun he had.

As an example: https://int10h.org/blog/2018/03/steel-survivor-an-ibm-xt-tal... is a success.
Having been bitten by that exact problem in C++, I think the original sin is to treat stuff like copy elision as a mere optimization, instead of a semantic guarantee.

The thing is, APL was originally designed as programming notation. It was used by Kenneth E. Iverson to discuss programming problems on blackboards with his students for years before it had an actual implementation.

So it has much more in common with math notation as a result, which is why the focus is on expressing yourself tersely with symbols. Also: nobody has to worry about special keyboards with symbols when writing those symbols with chalk on a blackboard, right? So the medium shaped the mode of communication.

I wonder what it would be like to learn programming that way, without using a physical computer. Maybe it would actually be a lot more pleasant for working through programming problems together? Mathematicians seem to be doing just fine working out their problems together on the blackboard with their notation after all.

EDIT: Hah, just saw that elsewhere in the thread an actual mathematician laments the (ab)use of symbols in their field, so I guess I was wrong there. Well, in that case, maybe mathematicians and programmers (or at least language designers) should join forces and see if they can come up with a more ergonomic notation together. A new Bourbaki club, so to speak.

I don't know what your savings plan look like, but I hope your idea of diversification is not to have all of your savings in a varied array of crytocurrencies :-)))
Because shills exist, who claim something is good when they know it's bad. Typically due to a vested interest, like wanting the industry to succeed. "This is good for Bitcoin" is a meme precisely because these people exist, publicly trying to spin any negative into a positive.

Pretending collapses like FTX don't impact the cryptocurrency space in negative ways is dishonest.
In all likelihood whatever web frameworks you're using in the languages you used will use concurrency in order to be able to serve different requests at the same time. In some languages, that will mean some sort of event loop, but more often than not it will also be done via threads.

Just because you create them yourself doesn't mean they aren't there.
With all due respect does anyone else find Rust's syntax just horrible?

This whole thing is making my head ache.

Pressing X or Alt-F4 sends WM_CLOSE to the window. By default this is converted to WM_DESTROY and closes the window. By default, an application with no more windows open will exit.

It's quite normal for applications to intercept WM_CLOSE, for example with a modal dialog of "Do you want to save your files?".

Over the past few years it has also become common for applications, including Microsoft Teams, to interpret "all windows closed" as "minimise to Systray". Microsoft also responded to increasing use of the systray by auto-hiding most apps in it.

The issue is not "minimise to systray" per se, it's "sending user voice when the user thought they'd closed all the windows".

All of the airspace nearby Area 51 is restricted too. The nearest unrestricted airspace to Area 51 is 12 NM to the East. It's closer to 30NM if you also want to be near a public road.
What title should people working on such systems bear? Apartheid Automation Engineer?
The artists can do better too, if they have the power to make TM share the upside (most don't) because TM controls much of the resale market and is also moving towards surge pricing. This is why they're pushing into virtual ticketing so hard (Ticket-less Master?)

TM also has huge vertical integration. If you want to perform a live show at almost any mid/large venue your tour is likely to be managed by Live Nation, and they are integrated down to artist representation.

>email to 200 recipients they can all store it

On discord there are no 200 individual "they" storing it. It's stored by discord. (Or I guess people could be manually logging their own chats, but that's not the issue at hand here.)

At first pass it might sound like some minor technical squabble about implementation details, but there is intentionality in design decisions. The legal system can not be blind to those.

Discord chose a design that put them in control of the data. I'm not saying the highly centralized nature of their design is bad, wrong, or wasn't the best choice for the product they want to build. What I am saying is that when the legal system looks at the nature of a product, it has to look beyond what's presented in the pretty UI and marketing materials. It will look at the business' processes too.

Well, it’s you versus the entire medical community. Who do you think is more likely yo be right?

Your bad experience is unfortunate but does not reflect that of most people with ADHD. It’s the only disorder which responds incredibly well to treatment by stimulants, and you’ll find that fact proven out by medical science.
Interest rates aren't 0% anymore. Of course, this only makes things even harder for crypto Ponzis, because they have to offer even more unsustainable rates to keep up.
Half of the fees go to the artist and venue. Ticketmaster takes the position of the “bad guy” to take all the blame for high prices while artists can say “the tickets only cost $40” even though the real price is easily double that.

Show HN: Cartwright – Automating detection of geographic and temporal features
Cartwright is a data profiler that identifies and categorizes spatial and temporal features. Cartwright uses deep learning, natural language processing, and a variety of heuristics to determine whether a column in a dataset contains spatial or temporal information and, if so, what is specifically contained.

Cartwright was built to automate complex data pipelines for heterogenous climate and geopolitical data that are generally oriented around geospatial and temporal features (think maps and time series). The challenge that Cartwright solves is automatically detecting those features so they can be parsed and normalized. This problem turns out to be quite tricky, but Cartwright makes it simple.
