For those who don't know, Jeff is/was also a speed cuber. Quoting from Wikipedia:

'In 1981, at the age of 14, Jeff set the Rubik's Cube US Record, solving the puzzle in 24.67 seconds.[4] At 15, he published his methods in "Jeff Conquers The Cube in 45 Seconds, And You Can Too!"'

The rule in your case is narrowly defined: the shared parking spaces are allocated to residents, and the rule makes sure that one person doesn't intrude on another person's allocated space.

The rule in the article is not: it would make it a crime for your neighborhood dumbass to use his own allocated space to repair his car.
What drives me nuts about the usage of statistics in common discourse is that it is used prescriptively instead of descriptively.

E.g. lets say 50% of gun owners accidentally shoot themselves. Now lets say Im talking to someone about how I want to buy a gun for home defense. They tell me "well 50% of gun owners accidentally shoot themselves, so you're safer if you dont have a gun"

This is a gross misunderstanding if statistics. There is no way whatsoever to take the observed general trend, and apply it to a future possibioity in a single instance. What this interpretation misses is that there are variables well within your control. A gun owner who follows all safety rules will virtually never shoot themselves accidentally. Turns out 50% of gun owners are stupid as hell, and you are in control of yiur own outcomes.

I see this problem CONSTANTLY in debates online, on the news, etc. It is very frustrating and contributes greatly to propogating dumb ideas.
I have long suspected this. Some of Mike Masnick's most loyal opposition seem like obvious paid trolls, but not from Russia, rather RIAA and MPAA. I suspect some HN users are paid trolls.

The fall of FTX shocked everyone. Except this guy
I never really got those conspiracy theories. The big secret is they're tuning it to make money. Money in the ad-tech age of the internet means eyes on content and engagement. Anger and clickbait and such are all incredibly easy to tune for. Plus it's not just the algorithms that are tuned for it, people, including the "creators" on any platform, change their behavior to do "better" on the platform.

It's just a feedback loop optimized for "engagement" which is the metric these companies are using to make more money from the companies buying ad-space. Occam's razor and all that. It's just about money.
These are the last of the "faithful" ones before AI driven ones make these obsolete. I am already feeling nostalgic for these "dependable and hardworking" robots in advance.

Not always. I have sway and pipewire running smooth as can be on my systemd-free workstation. As well as recent releases of Linux, glibc, Mesa, and Firefox. All the essentials are there and up to date for me!
Yeah this was the point I was trying to make. Obviously I didn't pay attention, but like...if I open a CSV file, my intuition tells me that if I click "save", it will save to the original CSV file. That's how most other programs work. Just because Excel also does it, doesn't make it a good idea. It's a bad idea and it's a hallmark of legacy software.
"Airports empower Clear Secure’s employees to issue instructions to all flyers going through security—including those who never signed up for CLEAR."

Yeah, if my memory serves a lot of UI design started to get more airy around the time smartphones became more popular. Even on desktops, which I think may just be because large buttons and text became trendy and although some may deny it, I think a lot of ui design is just following trends. It takes a good designer to not just blindly copy things because they look cool.

I don't like this law.

But I did live in a town home association where a guy with a one car garage started his own sorta secret cheap ass repair business. At random tools you had lots of noise from air tools and so on. He claimed the cars were his (and some seemed to be, broken down... leaking oil) but we had people come buy and ask us where they should drop off their car for that guy. Rando cars in the neighborhood was a problem for everyone. I had 3 cars towed that parked in my driveway (my house number was similar to his) and was angrily confronted by two of those "friends" (customers) about it.

Took a while to get the dude kicked out of the neighborhood / association.

Gotta be some way to let responsible enthusiasts do their thing and take issue with folks with those who leave junk cars out and etc.
On one hand, the bar for things to be called bad has now dropped pretty low. Being not as excellent as other thing, or not being excellent throughout is enough.

But I think the actual hate isn't coming from Go technical shortcomings. It's language authors and community attitude towards people asking for obvious QoL improvements.

Generics are a bad enough example of community for years tactfully flipping off everyone asking for them and then, hey, here they are and the sky doesn't seem to be falling. But it's not the only example. Just a couple days ago I was researching if there's a way to somehow build struct tags from constants or use interpolation and sure enough, there's an old bug tracker suggestion entry that got a two sentence "won't do" reply with zero reasoning and a bunch of following entries just marked as duplicate and closed without reply at all. This happens a lot. And people don't appreciate it.
Great timing for this article! I just used Flash CS5 this week to make my first animation. I’ll admit that I’m rough with it (made a few games with it many years ago, but that is all, stuck with Actionscript and static images). Some of the logic hasn’t stuck with me yet, namely with the timeline and movieclips, and I get frustrated. That said, I’m having a great time with it.
> just so that you don't have to deal with them using a specialty automotive tool in their garage?

FTFY: so that they don't run a commercial operation causing noise, emissions and traffic in a residential zone. Don't make profit off of just loading off the externality cost of your operation on the back of your neighbors. It's not that hard to grasp.
Sure!

* You can't set keyboard shortcuts for some common actions like changing the brush mode between "paint behind", "paint inside", etc. You have to click the button every time.

* No way to import or export any standard vector graphics formats.

* No easy way to just add custom properties to objects on the stage.

* No outliner. Unless you put exactly one object on each layer, it's very hard to find and select objects on the stage that aren't large and obvious. Invisible objects? Nightmare!

* You can name frames, but there's no menu to quickly select one to jump to. In a 500+ frame timeline, you've just gotta manually scroll around to find the frame you're looking for, even if you've named it.

* You can't set an alpha component for the grid to make it semitransparent.

These are all missing in Flash CS6, the last thing that was called "Flash". I don't know if any were added in Adobe Animate because I don't like to rent software.

There's definitely room for a Flash authoring replacement. Every now again I look at all the programs I can find in the space and try them out, but nothing reaches Flash yet, in my opinion, despite its limitations. Best of luck with yours!

WebWorkers don't give you multi-threading behaviors (heaps/address spaces are not shared). WebWorkers would be how you launch a new process, but there's still otherwise no way to make a thread (nor even a fork() equivalent for that matter).

Within a family, that can work, but even with my partner, who hates Windows so much that she uses a personally supplied Mac despite her company not officially supporting it, we use Google docs to work on stuff together.

It's partially familiarity, but also portability and functionality. I go back and forth between Microsoft and Google suites depending on work situations, and despite how much Apple has worked on Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc., they're still not as complete or common as Microsoft or Google. Adding a third set of tools is a little like being fluent in 3 languages. It's too much of an overload.

The only professional situation where I've seen any of these Apple applications commonly used is Keynote by design teams. The typography and alignment tools in Keynote are better than Google and Microsoft, but those same design teams forget that no one outside of current Mac user can do anything with a .key file. Yes, I know iCloud on the web kinda sorta works, but it's so not Apple's first priority. Microsoft is still struggling to make their suite work as universally as Googles, and Apple is way behind here.

If I didn't know other tools and I never needed to work with people outside of the walled garden, I might put more time into using Apple's "productivity" (AKA iWork) apps.
I think it's because the person you're responding to didn't seem to be implying that a single X or a single y would count?

Instead, they're probably talking about taking three cells with XY, and then using that to create an xx, an xy, and then some leftover parts.

If that is the case, your correction might seem arrogant or assuming.
> doesn't sound great for the vulnerable workers of the company, who have lost out on wages due to said corruption and are now unemployed.

Why would they be unemployed? Why wouldn't they work for someone else or even start their own business? You assume people are helpless, I hope it's not the projection of your own experience.

> Sure I do. There's the media, the judicial system, and the ballot box.

How they (except the last one) are doing so far?

> You can, for example, buy land and rent it out.

That's already investment, that's already doing something with a risk involved. You can buy a land that no one would rent out.

Besides the things above: you still don't propose any explanation why socialism will work this time, when it happened to lead to tragedy so many times before (I assume you agree with my proof of why the system USA lean towards socialism since you haven't argued with that proof).
The solution• to these kinds of problems is integration. If some people have their wants and needs meet and their complaints addressed far more often than the rest of us, then the only way for the system to get better for everyone is if those people are mixed in with the rest of us and don’t just get to opt out and use a better system just for them.

Interesting. It's worth pointing out that in general (though I'm still curious if there are examples here), the legal landscape in the US is weighted heavily in the other direction. One of the examples I'm directly familiar with was a friend who ended up moving because their neighbor picked up meat smoking as a hobby, and the wind was carrying nearly 24/7 smoke downwind into my friend's house.

Yes, we were corresponding for a while, this wasn't just a response to a cold contact. My dad, who was quite a promoter and very invested in the idea of me being a gifted kid, reached out to a bunch of computer scientists, and several responded. I have some of those letters but haven't done any careful organizing of them. As I mentioned in the memorial note, Dijkstra would go on to invite me to the Marktoberdorf summer school the following summer, where I got to spend time with him, Tony Hoare, Greg Nelson, Robert Constable (of Nuprl fame), and others.

What was accomplished here occurs in nature, in a condition called sex-hormone discordant chimerism, where replication errors in embryos result in persons who have a mix of otherwise identical (in terms of genetics) male and female cells in their body. In very rare cases this can result in intersex morphology (https://www.nature.com/articles/s10038-020-0748-4). Generally in mammals, though, such chimerism doesn't result in dramatic phenotypic variance from normal male/female morphology. This is because mammalian secondary sex characteristics expressed by cells are mostly determined by the hormone bath the cells live in, so if a body has wholly or overwhelmingly one-sex gonads, they will develop as that sex. The situation is quite different in insects in birds, where secondary sex characteristics are largely determined by the sex chromosomes of individual cells. This leads to some dramatic phenotypes, such the bilateral gynandromorph (e.g., https://www.birdnote.org/listen/shows/cardinal-thats-half-ma...).

"Clear Secure CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker has big plans for her company’s core product.

Disgusting.
Are you suggesting NATO has not had any influence on this war?

The US just agreed a further 2bn in military aid including a patriot system.

Ukraine only fighting chance has been due to NATOs support.

Eastern Europe has always been a buffer between NATO and Russia in a landwar it's obviously preferable for Russia to lose in Ukraine than in a NATO territory from NATOs perspective.

What did you think was going on here it not a war between NATO and Russia?!

I can tell you what the benefits are. Whether those benefits make it better than FigJam or whatever is a tradeoff evaluation for each person to make for their use case, it could be that FigJam is right for Alice while Freeform is right for Bob, meanwhile Charlene despises them both.

But there are Facetime users. Not you, and not me at work, but me at home for sure. And there are Apple ecosystem dwellers who use a lot of apps. And definitely Apple ecosystem users that store their data in iCloud.

What Freeform offers those people is a collaboration app (not web app) with the data in iCloud. That has some value for people who already have everything in iCloud.

One kind of person has their passwords in 1Password, their docs in the g-suite, their reminders in some other company’s cloud, &c. They’re happy mixing and matching apps and logins and cloud storage.

They don’t have a compelling need for Freeform.

But what if your passwords and TOTP authenticators are in iCloud via the keychain? What if your docs are in Keynote and Pages and Numbers, stored in iCloud as well? What if you like having Mac and iOs native apps?

Then you have a case for considering Freeform.

I don’t think Apple launched it to take over the collaboration market, but for folks already fully in the ecosystem, it offers benefits.

Show HN: Schtate – Functional Data Containers with a Familiar API
Looking for feedback on my library.

I work mainly with React at work, as data is passed down as props, we end up performing a lot of transformations and checks on it.

Most React developers leverage arrays heavily because the intuitive immutable, chainable API that JS arrays offer works really well with React's functional model. The purpose of this library is to make other types of data just as easy to work with by mirroring the Array API whenever possible, keeping immutability and chaining as first class features. It is not just for React developers, but anybody who has to manipulate data and hates having to write `if` statements.

The library has zero runtime dependencies and 100% test coverage.

The tradeoff was not that. The OpenCL SW ecosystem was just not there at all. It's not a coincidence that nobody has a good AI training on OpenCL stack even today. The cross-vendor infrastructure for that doesn't exist.

And NV was far from malicious here, they are who made building this ecosystem possible.

Without NV what would have plausibly happened was not having AI training on GPUs at all, but on bespoke accelerators (which _did_ exist back then) at a totally inaccessible cost to customers. It's hard to understate their role in building this ecosystem.
