The Tuauri team needs to focus on maturing its primary codebase and documentation before branching out to assign teams to separate projects like this. I've written a few hundred lines of code using Tauri, and I've had to do much more API wrangling and searching the official Discord than I would have liked -- a lot of valuable API details are tucked away in very specific places, especially related to using Tauri's state manager, creating mockup tests, and technical information on the IPC model. In addition, some of those APIs are obtuse and confusing to interpret how to use.

Tauri does a few things very well, and its frontend model is much more lightweight and flexible than Electron's. However, the project has a long way to go before it's used in the mainstream and really needs to continue to make testing, debugging, and other DX details much more accessible and clear to gain an edge in the market.
It's probably because they wanted to be useful to lay people. Something us hackers often forget. Be useful.
The things that people really want and which signal high status will always be scarce. You can't make more real estate in desirable areas. Ferrari intentionally limits production numbers to create artificial scarcity.
Better than trashing it, I guess.
You don't care either. If you cared you wouldn't be dimissing the things Qatar has done as OK because others do them.

See you are presenting a logical fallacy - specifically the notion that "two wrongs make a right". Yes the US nonsense in Iraq was terrible, and a lot of people should be punished for it. How stupid do you think I am to try and pretend that it somehow makes Qatar a non-issue?
The accusation is that the Qatari government killed Grant Wahl because of his reporting. But then again, Wahl's last post is all about how the Qatari government doesn't care about the worker's death and doesn't care if you know it ... so why would they kill an American journalist - with all the negatives that would bring down on them - over something they don't care about?
I think it was because he was the worst possible poster child for that "movement", and made it seem like a joke from immature, psychologically troubled hermits.
The clause likely isn't "you can't talk about harassment" but "you can't talk about anything that happens at work". That then gets changed into "you can't talk about anything that happens at work, except your working conditions which you have a legal right to discuss", which means any time you talk you risk that your employer will disagree whether it falls under that and ruin you with a lawsuit, so you don't talk...
Anyone tried this? How does it compare to RustDesk?
The C in CRDT is for conflict-free, i.e. there must not be any conflicts between operations. Incrementing and decrementing a counter, the final result will be the same independent of the order of operations. You can almost not get any further away from a CRDT than last write wins. And for more complicated merge strategies you are essentially guessing what the desired result is but you do not know and everything really depends on the quality of your guesses.

Like the example with the changed fruits in the list, maybe one or the other should end up in the final result, maybe both, maybe none. The correct conflict resolution strategy is not obvious and highly dependent on the use case, that is why I said that implementations are usually not general or they are only general in the sense that you can plug in any behavior you like. Compare this with a real CRDT like a counter, there there is absolutely no doubt about the desired outcome.
I use a Jamboard regularly. Pretty cool device for meetings over Meet (and rather well integrated into the Workspace suite).
> Most restaurants and cafes don’t accept cash either although they are certainly free to do so.

Ok, so I'm curious about this place where you live where most restaurants don't accept cash, so here's a question:

Let's say you enter the restaurant, eat the food and now you owe payment, but you don't have a credit card (maybe you didn't notice the "no cash" sign).

Legal tender laws say that cash must be accepted as payment for all debts. So how can the restaurant refuse the cash?

That only seems to be legal if the customer prepays for the food, which is not what happens in most restaurants (fast food restaurants notwithstanding).

Is there a special exemption for restaurants where you live, or you don't have legal tender laws, or what's going on here?
I would bid for the sink
Tauri is pretty cool stuff and great for simple single threaded apps. With all the make X model run on Y, I’d caution folks with multithreaded needs to wait until another release.

Mac’s multithreaded environment went just fine; and on task completion could be killed off. However the Windows version spun up fine, then hung, then wouldn’t shut down all the threads leaving odd state everywhere.
total comp is possible, but salary? that's weird
while I agree that Russia and the USA have done much worse than Qatar has ever done, I think people are more willing to be lenient to Russia and the USA on this because there’s some footballing history there. as more or less a marketing operation, Qatar have just turned up with a load of cash and built some stadiums in the desert, and then FIFA expects everyone to take it lying down

I genuinely think it’s more about football than politics, but the politics are a real issue too and they have a larger attack surface
Open Source Contribution Can Change Your Life
Winter is not so bad, you can kick snow off on to the little yard below with your feet easily enough. Moving day is a big pain though, getting appliances and furniture around those twists is not fun.
But it's the members that are where the corruption comes from - they're the ones that elect the executive committee and the president, vote on proposals such as World Cup locations, etc. etc. FIFA is just a reflection of the corrupt state of world football federations.
Being visible and present. Did this mostly by unblocking my team, writing ADRs for larger features, being involved during pre-grooming, and helping people via huddle or pairing.

Things also move much faster if you have frequent 1:1s and keep a log of your wins.
How fun. The MEP who loudly announces how great Qatar's labor rights are is found with hundreds of thousands of euros in cash, allegedly from "a gulf country".

Presuming the allegations are true, all I can think is how basic the whole affair is. TV has made me come to expect something more complicated and devious.

A nitpick, but I feel it's worth noting EA didn't "make" any of these, but published them. These were all developed by 3rd party developers
I disagree. I start text chats with "hello" all the time.

It basically relates to channel choice. For some kinds of messages a near-real-time text chat is the right channel but async email-like flow would be entirely the wrong channel.

So I start a convo with "hello" to probe if the other party is available for near-real-time text chat, because away-status indicators are frequently unreliable.

There are also special kinds of communication needs like if I need help with something and there are 3 people who could potentially help me out on something that's a blocker for me. I then just want to probe for the first person capable of unblocking me. The protocol is then something like: "me-to-person-a: hello". wait for 5 minutes. no respone. "me-to-person-b: hello". wait for 5 minutes. no response. "me-to-person-c: hello" wait for 5 minutes. all of a sudden person b has become available and replies "person-b-to-me: hello, what can i do for you?" ...now i start chatting with person b. meanwhile, 20 minutes after my initial prompt when I'm already well into my way, discussing my blocker with person b, person c comes online and says "hello". I respond "oh, never mind: person b is already helping me out". ...person a, as it happens, is fighting a production issue and not responding to me right now, knowing that i'm a newbie developer who likely has newbie questions. fair enough, he's entirely within his rights to ignore me.

If instead, I just open the convo with a drawn-out description of the issue i need help with, I'm kind of stuck after firing off a message to the first person. Because now, I don't want to start wasting another person's time by "cross-posting" to a second 1-on-1 chat, as that is likely to duplicate work. In that case, to be polite, I'd have to at least wait a few hours, cross-post to a second person, and then say to the first person something like "oh, it seems like you're unavailable. actually never mind, I guess person-b might be able to help me out faster". ...this latter kind of communication is kind of awkward, and in any case inefficient.
Sometimes I worry the world will end because people are too quick to jump to conclusions just because it happens to match their worldviews.

Don't get me wrong, I worry about what you said too, but around me in life, jumping to conclusions and sticking with it regardless is much more common than what you mentioned.
This is a huge reason to go with Tauri over Electron. I don't get why there isn't (or is there) a simple way to package a web app for all platforms. Everyone still makes this weird artificial distinction between Desktop and Mobile despite the technical capabilities and user expectations being close to the same.
Their social norms are different than liberal anglophones?
The Fireship videos on YouTube are excellent, entertaining and informative. I presume the videos are scripted - one of the reasons the videos are concise and no filler.

I haven't tried the Fireship courses, but I'm intrigued which teaching approaches preferred by developers: video, text, interactive exercises, book - a combination?

For me, I have found video instruction is massively varied. Although instructors may be familiar with a subject, some are not good at teaching. The best instructors understand their subject but also explain their subject clearly. Also, overly long videos can make watching video a chore. But there are always exceptions (e.g. Harvard online CS50?).
There is a significant learning curve to using SD - Not just in developing the craft of prompting, but recognizing that fine-tuned model choice and tooling choices play a significant role in output quality, and the ability to control the generation process.

The more you abstract control from end users and “do it for them”, the easier generations can be made, at the loss of control. Midjourney is an excellent example of this.

If you want fine-tuned control, SD has an ecosystem that is rapidly accelerating in capabilities.

I’m part of a team building open source toolkit on top of SD, and the power users of our tool have shown themselves to be exceptional in their ability to pull high quality works out of the aether.
I've heard similar things from women who worked in majority-women offices in e.g. HR. They were expected to steadily rotate, even wearing the same vest over other stuff two days in a row would result in questions "where they had slept last night" from their co-workers.
This release is basically the reason I chose Tauri when I started writing my app like a year ago. Very exciting to see, can't wait to try it out.

There is a very simple way to get rid of ads on YouTube in any browser…
I am founder and a mod of /r/schizoaffective been doing it for almost ten years now. I made the sub since I felt those with both mood disorder symptoms along side psychosis weren't served well by /r/schizophrenia, /r/depression and /r/bipolar and /bipolar2.

I am not a fan of Reddit in a lot of ways, but overall the other mods and I have made a pretty safe place for our community, and we have had relatively little trolling, hopefully it stays that way. Before Reddit I did in person meetups for a couple topics and even in highschool almost twenty years ago I was a big support for a lot of people. Reddit is just a pretty good platform compared to Facebook. The relative anonymity helps a lot in a mental health sub.

When I was a free moderator for a thing it was during the time of my life I had little to no control over any aspect of what was happening.

I have to assume it's similar for others. Why do this work for free? My only answer to that is it gave me a feeling of being wanted or needed that I was severely lacking at the time.
A multitude of reasons, I suspect. For instance, they want their community to be civil and not filled with spam. Also, if a subreddit is left unmoderated, it is likely to be shut down by Reddit staff.
Slightly misleading Guardian source. Their number includes all migrants, not just those migrants who’ve worked in construction and not those who just worked on construction projects to do with the World Cup, their figures are for literally all migrants.

I will probably use passwords until I am forcibly unable to. I'm happy with my password manager.

Tying login credentials to a hardware device that can easily be lost or stolen, and that (at least from my understanding) are hard to transfer to new devices seems like a risk I'm unwilling to take. And a step back.

I'm not adverse to replacing passwords with public/private key cryptography, but I need to be in control of it (not some multinational org) and I don't want it tied to a single hardware device.
The interest on the loan is $1B a year. Twitter’s revenue in 2021 was $6B. Can he pay the interest back? Sure. Is he going to have 1B in liquid capital every year? Harder.

Does he ever recoup the cost of buying Twitter at that rate? outlook doesn’t look good.
A whole different kind of manmade material
This is common because there is a cost (usually non-monetary: effort, risk, having to evaluate offers etc.) to changing the status quo.

You're always to some extent buying a cat in a bag, once you know what's in the bag, and the payments are set up etc., it makes sense that the service is worth more to you.

The same goes the other way too, however: Acquiring a new customer is costly (see above - you usually have to give them an extra incentive, you need to find/advertise to customers, etc.), so keeping a customer is worth a lot.

Which often means that there are great deals either for new customers or to retain ones that are plausibly threatening to leave (ever called your ISP to end your contract? wondering why many try to force you to talk to them before ending a contract?) and the rest that doesn't have the energy to play the game gets screwed. So you will get the "loyalty deal" but only if you put work into it.

I agree that it really sucks, but I think that's just how incentives are aligned, and incentives tend to lead to outcomes.
This is in Sweden. Cash is mostly gone. Restaurants where you eat first and pay later usually accept it reluctantly, unless they made clear up front they don’t (they have no choice then - you already ate and unlike the opposite no-card-situation where you are forced to go to an atm, you can hardly go make a deposit!). But stores, cafes etc are cashless to a large extent (but with lots of exceptions or partial exceptions e.g a grocery store might have 1 register of 10 accepting cash which means you don’t want to use cash).

Overall, the vast majority of retailers do accept cash in some form but not in usual “small transaction” situations like cafes, taxis, smaller shops.
I agree. Conspiracy theories are fun. But the fact he experienced chest pain for days leading up to his death, does seem to imply it was a true medical issue.

It’s very possible his heart was moving in and out of AFIB for a few days and then finally gave out in the form of a heart attack.

He fought through it because it’s obviously the biggest few weeks of the year for his job (as a soccer journalist).

The fact that the pain was significant to write about it publicly in his newsletter implies that it was obviously getting pretty bad. Not just a passing chest pain. It was probably very bad.

It does question why better medical attention wasn’t given to him. If he had this pain for days leading up to a sudden attack, then it’s very sad because it was likely preventable.
It also includes some additional wording about modern phone etiquette.

Surprising the system appears to run efficiently without the extra 7000 employees.
It's on the application developer to choose the correct CRDT for the job. Last write wins is there as a CRDT of last resort - there's a trade off between the very general but "weak" LWW and the specific but "powerful" counter. (In my own app, I plan on observing "failed" LWW writes and surfacing them to the user as notifications or something transient.) Ideally one could choose a CRDT where the semantics of an application conflict are the same as CRDT conflicts, but we don't live in an ideal world. I don't think you'll find anyone arguing that CRDTs are a silver bullet.

And earlier today they committed the removal to the chromium repo.
Why did they only release this data a week before the change? It would have been nice if they gave people the chance to double-check their methodology. (Testing on an old version of chromium seems particularly weird.)

I guess they just didn't care what the rest of the community had to say.

Have you ever started an irc channel? For me, it’s kind of like that. I mod some subreddits because I am interested in the topics and want to talk about it and help others talk about it.

I spend maybe five minutes a year on it, so it’s more of a responsibility than a labor.

As far back as I remember there’s always been bbs moderators. And almost always unpaid.

I think Reddit would be worse if mods were paid because then the positions would be more sought after and tried to run as a job.

I don’t think Twitter has equivalent moderation.

Out of curiosity I decided to look at cheap laptops in my country. One of them is $240 Irbis NB77 laptop with IPS display, 2Gb of RAM (soldered as I understood), 4-core Atom Z3735F CPU, only 2 USB ports, 32 Gb of eMMC and, the worst of all, Windows 10, which probably will take all of the space on a drive.

But of course there are cheaper laptops with 4Gb RAM, so this one seems more like an exception. There are even tablets that cost less and have 12 Gb of RAM, although they are sold by suspicious sellers from China.
Congrats on the release! From the looks of it Capacitor[0] has quite a big lead on in terms of support for native APIs (secure storage, SSL pinning, biometrics, etc) but hopefully they'll catch up quickly and avoid some of the mistakes Capacitor has made.

Ask HN: How to get back into AI?
I was involved in machine learning and AI a few years ago, mainly before the onset of the new diffusion models, large transformers (GPT*), Graph NNs and Neural ODE stuff.

I am comfortable with autograd/computation graphs, PyTorch, "classic" neural nets and ones used for vision-type applications, as well as the basics of Transformer networks (I've trained a few smaller ones myself) and RNNs.

Do you know of any good resources to slowly get back into the loop?

So far I plan on reading through the original Diffusion/GPT papers and start going from there but I'd love to see what you think are some good sources. I would especially love to see some Jupyter notebooks to fiddle with as I find I learn best when I get to play around with the code.

Thank you
