To be fair, a secretive aircraft would trigger thoughts about security in a hacker's mind. A camper van does not trigger any such thoughts. It may not be just clicks, with a camper van the whole thread might not even exist. I am not the original poster, so this is just my thought
Not everyone has the resources or means to stay where they are. The Great Recession flung people far and wide.

I am not disagreeing with you though, just two sides of the issue re resources.
Some time ago I wanted the best bits from both worlds:

- from cron: specifying all jobs in one file instead of scattering it across dosens of unit files. In 90%
of cases I just want a regular schedule and the command, that's it

- from systemd: mainly monitoring and logging. But also flexible timers, timeouts, resource management, dependencies -- for the remaining 10% of jobs which are a little more complicated

So I implemented a DSL which basically translates a python spec into systemd units -- that way I don't have to remember systemd syntax and manually manage the unit files. At the same time I benefit from the simplicity of having everything in one place.

An extra bonus is that the 'spec' is just normal python code

- you can define variables/functions/loops to avoid copy pasting

- you can use mypy to lint it before applying the changes

- I have multiple computers that share some jobs, so I simply have a 'common.py' file which I import from `computer1.py` and `computer2.py` -- the whole thing is very flexible.

I've been using this tool for several year now, with hundreds of different jobs across 3 computers, and it's been working perfectly for me. One of the best quality of life improvements I've done for my personal infrastructure.
All I've ever really wanted was a modern D2. I like what Beamdog have done with Neverwinter Nights 1, even though they focus more on the backend.
why not use Eventbridge?
This was downvoted probably from lack of context. They used the sound of honking to find the exact location of the webcam.
I thought it was mostly an online phenomenon wherein medical professionals were entertaining the idea of refusing medical care to the unvaccinated, right up until I heard it repeated by a friend of mine who is a nurse admin.
I stopped using Waze (I live in Los Angeles) because it would give a slightly faster route with unprotected left turns that was riskier, more stressful, and ultimately not much faster in reality.
Short term yes, long term unclear. I’ve personally experienced something that could be cranked out in a multi day white boarding session stretch out for months of on/off meetings. It’s harder to collaborate remotely.
That's an ultra dumb take. It is a fking trivial binary format with an open spec, which is not particularly complicated. Is linux also EEE? Because those ELF files are quite a bit more difficult to decypher...
Travel is common for the top 10-20% richest people in the world.

For 80% of the world, travel is something that 'other people' do.
The reason I was bringing it up was regarding how it was relevant to your point…

First, I agree it’s about who can squash prosecution. That said, it’s a bit bigger than that. These funds were used to help elect people. Meaning, it was directly used to squash people who would prosecute SBF in the future.

> Both parties take a ton of money, and some of it always turns out to be from dubious people. A lot of those dubious people go to jail. But this "SBF hasn't been arrested in the first 20 minutes so Democrats are corrupt" line is one I've seen as a talking point all over the US right. But it never comes with any perspective.

That’s why who was funded matters, you can use it as a proxy for who is corrupt / who best aligns with a given interest.

The US right doesn’t view it as “both parties” taking funds. The reason it’s a right wing talking point is it’s one party getting the money. The “uniparty” - ie the democrats & the republican leadership who appear to work against the republican base. That’s who’s getting the fund — not the republicans who are opposed to funding Ukraine, for instance. The republicans who more closely represent the base, did not get funds from SBF, that we know of.

It’s also why the right doesn’t believe there will be any arrest(s). Who’s motivated? If it goes to trial / is investigated those in power will be named.

If any arrest(s) are made, it would be similar to ghislaine maxwell - where she goes to prison for sex trafficking minors… but none of the recipients of those minors are charged or named.
I must say that was rather lame. Had it played Whiplash or the Buddy Rich Impossible drum solo I might have been impressed.
I'm open to changing my mind here so which are you suggesting:

1. Google did the Waze Maps/Maps merger to appease TCI so they could prevent layoffs

2. The Waze Maps/Maps merger is unrelated to the TCI memo
Wow, I seriously never thought Google would be vulnerable to activist investor actions because it's market cap is too big and its shareholders too idealistic. I'm still not sure that's not the case? Activist investors are sending letters all the time, and it's not a given that they are taken seriously, only if a shareholder vote would approve of their company policy goals. How do you know that TCI has a serious chance of that happening? If not then it's likely that Google's leadership just ignores it.
IMO, the TIOBE index cannot be taken seriously, and that’s an understatement.

Reading their methodology (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programminglanguages_defin...), if all the C++ programmers decide to call it quits and put their books for sale on eBay.co.uk, eBay.com or eBay.de (but not eBay.fr, eBay.it, etc), C++ will rise further in the Tiobe index.

They also mention that several sites get excluded from search for UNKNOWN reasons. So, they exclude some sites, but don’t know why.

I rest my case.
Your gripes all seem to boil down to your unfamiliarity, rather than anything specific that stands on its own as a problem. Unfamiliarity is understandable, but if that were enough to avoid progress, we wouldn't never have progress.

> ctrl+C because it's taking too long

Try --since=today. Then you end up in less, and that should be more familiar, including for search. This is then the equivalent of traditional daily rotating log files, with no other knowledge needed apart from --since and --unit (the latter is noted in "systemctl status" output as a reminder).

Then every further feature is an optional bonus.
Not only targeting devs with tech-specific content-marketing, but content-marketing with code, too! Nice (:
Not so much sad, but rather ignorant. Heisenberg knew that an experimental physicist would sit on the panel. What kind of questions did he expect to get asked?

In those days, the expectation for a physics PhD was to be well-versed in different branches of the art. Think of this as you may, but it seems like Heisenberg simply didn’t prepare properly.
The idea would be you would travel without your bike and use one provided by the organizer. That's what other esports do. There's still advantages to the esport, such as not needing to close public roads, design tracks that don't exist or aren't easily accessed, and allow different racing strategy (I imagine they don't simulate pushing wind).
>Honestly there may be some Sony shouldn’t have been allowed to acquire

Some people have been floating around the idea that Sony could respond by acquiring Square Enix. Not sure if that is actually fiancially viable, but I would much prefer Sony and Microsoft acquire smaller studios (think Playground Games, Bluepoint Games) and leave bigger players like Activision and Square Enix alone.
I think you've just done a better job proving my point than I ever could.
> Once you accept that parallelizing is a legitimate strategy with a clear tradeoff

That's the question. Is parallelizing animal testing and ramping up the number of animals used a legitimate strategy and does it have a clear tradeoff? No one in is arguing that animal rights only matter in lab testing. Rather, there are two arguments that can be made:

- A) parallelization of animal testing is sloppy research that won't lead to better results.

- B) the benefits of parallelization don't outweigh the moral cost of animal rights.

Those are two separate arguments, and the parent comments were primarily arguing around A. B is orthogonal. That doesn't mean that B is an irrelevant argument or that there's no case to be made for animal welfare in testing, but it's a separate argument from A.
this wasn't always a problem though. Warcraft 3 and both Starcraft games had a large and diverse audience for a long time. From competitive players to people who enjoyed the story despite the fact that they're quite difficult multiplayer games.

Elden Ring and the Souls games are difficult and even to a point intentionally alienating but have had massive success including in the mainstream.

I don't know what it is but I feel there's something else going on with the rapid decline of RTS besides the difficulty.
Some thoughts on waking early and working remotely
It's too big to fail ;-)
I'm fascinated by these tiny, extremely remote populated places. Just this week I randomly found out about Pitcairn Islands, and looking at their blog it seems like Starlink has just become available there [0] (also recommend this video that's absolutely fascinating, to me at least [1]). I can't find much online about whether Vanuatu has Starlink access no, but there seems to be at least one group advocating for it [2] -- the article sounds pretty optimistic about it, but I didn't manage to find a follow-up (not that I looked too hard).

Apparently it is just used to build the main compiler from source, so perhaps less featureful.
That would be very meta, but already quite tiresome.
The need for bootstrapping in this context comes from the lack of a compiler for the language you want to implement, as in before the Zig compiler in C++ there was no Zig compiler.
Nothing monopolistic about this acquisition. Microsoft is a small player in a huge market right now.
Complete is perhaps strong. At least one of every limb, but the entire torso, neck and head. Its complete head neck and body being contracted. It might be described as "substantially complete" or "mostly complete" or "sufficiently complete".

It's the MVP of complete.
D2 0.1
Wow! You have an interesting project! I will try it!
What does that have to do with the choice of programming language? You can't implement an incremental compiler in Zig?
Most Americans live in and around big cities. Ive lived my entire life in commuting distance to Manhattan along with 10s of millions others. There was never any notion from myself or my peers of having to move to "make it". The end goal was always to find a job and get on a bus or train every morning.
Part of it, as well, is that a lot of these regions that people moved out of are the suburbs. Many suburbs are not sustainable, and are degrading.

> you're possibly dependent on a third party to fix the bug.

IT departments love this, because it's not their problem and they don't have to do anything except press reload in the third party's ticketing system.
Yeah, I wish MS could buy Blizzard from Activision rather than acquiring both of them. But I suspect they're mostly doing it to get Call of Duty so that wouldn't really work.
We are all really into bumblebees, specifically the kind that can transform into 1977 Yellow Camaros
Compilers are performance critical in the sense that you wouldn't want to wait 15 minutes to an hour for your code to build. Consider the number of layers of cache applied to compilation pipelines along with distributed builds to speed it up in places where they have millons of lines of code (e.g game studios) along with turning off linker features which slow things down.

You'd want faster compilation so that you can test your changes without it breaking your flow where having to wait a 1-5 minutes means you'll end up reading HN or checking chat for 10 or so minutes. That's also why there's interest in hot-code reloading and incremental linking to make it faster as it will further reduce compilation to just the changes you've made and nothing more.
According to OP's model, for anyone wondering:

>Copyright infringement and antitrust violations are two distinct types of improper use. Plagiarism is an ethical violation that occurs when someone attempts to pass off someone else's work or ideas as their own, without properly giving credit to the original source. It is not against the law, but can have serious consequences such as failing grades, termination, and difficulty finding new employment. On the other hand, copyright infringement occurs when a party takes an action that implicates one or more of the rights listed above without authorization from the copyright owner or an applicable exception or limitation in the copyright law, such as fair use. The most common antitrust violations fall into two categories: agreements to restrain competition and efforts to acquire a monopoly.
Eh, I can see why features like 'speed trap reporting' and 'encourage drivers to file congestion reports while driving' might be released under a different brand.
Just to clarify, what I find insane is the numbers because it doesn't line up with my experience within most of the people I generally talk too
Had severe sleep apnea and used machine for over 10years. Loved it ! Would travel a ton internationally and always had it with me’ - even on Asia trips. I simply couldn’t function without it. Anyway had lapband surgery and loss hundreds of pound and found started to have sleep issuesagain. Turns out as lost weight needed to change pressure pumped by machine. So had to redo sleep studies to tweak setting and then started to work great again.

Several years back on last study was told i didn’t need the machine anymore. It actually was again affecting my sleep using it. It took me like two years to get back comfortable not using it. I was so happy that was hard to give up. I-still keep an eye and if start to have sleep issue will do another study and if need machine will be happy to get one again

So strongly suggest to do study vs just getting machine. Well worth it
Honestly, even Calendly makes more sense to me.

Massive addressable market, pretty mediocre state of the art, problem that people already spend real money to solve (poorly). $3B is high, but I can see a world where it’s justified.

Employee count seems high but I would imagine a disproportionate number are sales/marketing because, again, addressable market is huge and competition is fierce.

Postman… the addressable market is just not that large, especially for the features you actually pay for.

There is autocompletion. It works by default on Pop OS and Debian. (You may need to install bash-completion and/or dbus if your install is very minimal.)
There's A LOT more traffic across the Fern Hollow bridge than if the end destination were a couple of thousand homes. Average daily traffic ca. 2005 was 14.5k vehicles including transit bus routes with articulated buses that nominally carry 70+ at capacity. At rush hour I've been on those buses and they're regularly SRO.
Back when I played it, there was a 50 game skill test for new players which determined which of the major rank pools you were placed in.

Those first 50 games were crazy because you were matched randomly with other new and established players, so sometimes you would play someone really good who would steamroll you in the first 5 minutes, and sometimes you got someone who had at most played the scripted campaigns against the AI and thought they could sit there for the first 30 minutes slowly building up an army.

It was actually pretty fun not knowing which way it would go, and whenever we matched with newbies my partner and I got to experiment with a bunch of different strategies that would never work in a real game.
Here's my 2c (I'm 30 for the record):

I was born in a flyover state. There's ~no coding jobs here, and the ones that are here, pay pittances compared to anywhere not adjacent to a (feed)corn field.

I moved 250 miles away (to the other side of my state... dang is the US huge) to take a tech job that payed closer to what coastal companies will pay.

The next step was probably to move to Seattle or SF and take a "real" tech job there. But two things happened at the same time:

1. remote work really grew up. now I can work from anywhere and (mostly. geo-adjusting etc. luckily that seems to be on the decline.) get paid well.

2. We had our first child. Now suddenly close access to our support network (parents etc) is both logistically important ("hey mom can you watch the kids for a weekend so we can sleep") and emotionally important (grandparents getting to see the kids every weekend or two instead of significantly less often).

So now instead of looking to move an additional 2k miles away, I moved back to be ~2 miles from one set of parents and ~20 miles from the other set.

I'm not really thrilled about the local jobs or local politics etc. But family is incredibly important to have physically close, and so here I am. Thank heavens for remote coding jobs.
In France, Waze is essentially a speed trap detector, I am sure it is the biggest use case, more than navigation. Maps don't do that.

The thing is: what Waze does is borderline illegal, and it is regularly updated to still do its thing without getting struck down. Google Maps is "cleaner", and therefore much worse at detecting speed traps. I guess the questionable legality is a good reason for keeping these apps separate.
Nokia was not doing so hot before Microsoft bought them.

Unless you're talking about their Windows Phone exclusivity deal before that which kneecapped them when they could have been making Android devices all those years and might have been competition in the Android space to this day.

Yes, well luckily nobody on HN can compel Google to do anything differently.

This group of investors however can compel Google to do things differently and as George Carlin once said: "It's a big club, and you ain't in it"
Long hours, being on call, and not getting respect are bad things, and you should not work a job where they happen. That has absolutely zero relation to whether you're asked what you're working on.
"Fun" fact. As of ~2004 roughly 1/3 of the male populace were soon-to-be-convicted sexual abusers of children, including the mayor.
That’s the sad beauty of this kind of bad faith argument - it doesn’t have to have any merit at all just “flood the zone” with alternate crap so real solutions aren’t given the time of day.

The real audience for this MP are the people out there who would prefer to blame cyclists for everything including their own demise.
Maybe if having the optimal news diet would have been more visible we would have given it as much thought as we give our nutritional diets.

So much content consumption related advice is all about volume, instead of mindful selection. Imagine all diet books were just about calorie count. Oh... On 2nd thought maybe we're just still in the 90s in terms of having well-balanced content consumption.
Only if you just want to play singleplayer. If you're into multiplayer and not already an expert at Starcraft or AoE2 then good luck finding games around your skill level.
When I was growing up, they counted anyone who got vaccinated against something as a "success." So if 80 percent got vaccinated for X, they bragged about that.

These days, we count anyone who didn't get vaccinated as a failure and bellyache about that 20 percent that "won't cooperate" and malign them as problem children who don't have a good reason for their choices.

It's a dramatic change in attitude and it's very scary stuff because people are increasingly fine with "We shall just force the minority to get vaccinated and make their lives hell if they continue to resist." It's really, really scary stuff and most people don't seem to recognize how and why it's scary stuff.
I put 'news' in quotes for this reason. I wasn't as much implying that this would be actual news, but instead would be used in clickbait articles on lesser publications. I admit I am being hypothetical, but this does reflect observation on how these kinds of discussions has been get picked up and spread and thus has made me want to avoid such writing style.
To the second question, how's that different from a desktop "app" that you use to run Jitsi? The server "app" that you use to run the server?

Also I suspect you're trolling everyone.
"it is hard to express the view that a women’s refuge — or a rape crisis centre — should not accept male clients who claim to be women."
They're two products that ostensibly do the same thing. And, if your answer is WELL, having a separate product like Waze lets us do slightly (arguably) sketchy things like route people through residential neighborhood streets with pedestrians to save 30 seconds or flag police speed traps, I'm not sympathetic. Do or not do but own it in either case. It's the same company.
Do you mind expanding a bit more ? Because I don't understand.
Even if you have oversampling, as you say, it would be after you know the locations of the stars, and also, how can you brute force every possible right ascension/declination/rotation ? Without a calibrated camera how do you account for the distortions ? Thanks

I'm deadly allergic to eggs, and the only flu vaccine easily available to me is made with eggs, so I don't take it.

There are many other medically valid reasons to not take a vaccine. There are even some (a very small number) of people whose religious convictions are a valid reason to get an exemption.

The issue is that the overwhelming majority (>99%) of people who choose not to vaccinate, do so for bad reasons, which amounts to making an uninformed medical decision, and one that adversely impacts other people in addition to themselves. These people are what the controversy is actually about.

Anyone bullying people who have medical issues is a bad person and needs to chill.
