I spend too much time on hn, but don't think I share your approach. Either I learn something, enjoy reading it (or both), or skip the issue alltogether. Is everything where you think "you should know this stuff" actually relevant to you, or just interesting?
> "Every third woman who responded to the survey, sent out by Allbright to employees at the tech companies, reports that she has been discriminated against"

Which - putting my boring hat on - doesn't mean she was discriminated against.
And why is it so confusing for you that if convenience and accessibility tend towards piracy, then piracy will be picked over an inconvenient and inaccessible way of trying to pay for something?

Where convenience and accessibility tend towards paying, that will be the preferred solution. Spotify, Steam and Netflix built billion dollar businesses on that assumption being correct, in three different areas where people pirate frequently.

None of these businesses thought their time was best spent sending letters to individuals who were pirating. Not legal letters, not random HN comments talking about capitalism. Instead, they offered a solution.
I feel like you completely ignored the point of the person you replied to...
From the article:

"Internal emails that I viewed at Twitter showed that both the Trump and Biden administrations directly pressed Twitter executives to moderate the platform’s content according to their wishes.

At the onset of the pandemic, the Trump administration was especially concerned about panic buying, and sought “help from the tech companies to combat misinformation,” according to emails sent by Twitter employees in the wake of meetings with the White House. One area of so-called misinformation: “runs on grocery stores.” The trouble is that it wasn't misinformation: There actually were runs on goods. "
From a quick scan of the source, it should support Wayland. But the binary from the releases doesn't seem to. I presume it was compiled with only Xorg support.
> Yes, systems should be patched and all that. But really, anything not forcing updates should be able to do a year.

You should try Windows. After some days it becomes confused, some things (especially USB stuff) will not be recognized, programs will not load correctly etc. It is an old bug ( i've seen it also in Win 7) and nobody at Microsoft seems to care about it. Of course, a reboot fixes everything.
It's less than that for people with so called asymptomatic infections. The vast majority of people have had covid my now, and it wasn't much worse than a cold or flu.
For me, Spotify and similar services offer me better curated playlists. I have a lot of music on a Plex server and I still almost always use YouTube music because curation and dynamically generated, good playlist; and because the “radio to ownership” pipeline can be annoying when I’m running or whatever
Your argument is an appeal to emotion, not to facts.
Austria ranks 79 on masculinity. Japan ranks 95, probably one of the highest.

>The Masculinity side of this dimension represents a preference in society for achievement, heroism, assertiveness, and material rewards for success.

This definitely does not sound like the Japan I live in, almost the opposite in fact. Japanese people are absolutely not known for assertiveness in particular; it's very much the opposite, they're infamous for being passive-aggressive. Heroism is definitely not a thing here. Achievement is so-so: being a reliable company workers and breadwinner is definitely highly valued, but not being a high achiever the way American culture, for instance, would value. Material rewards are valued though, but even here not as much as in America (which only ranks 62 somehow).

>Its opposite, Femininity, stands for a preference for cooperation, modesty, caring for the weak and quality of life. Society at large is more consensus-oriented.

This is absolutely Japan in a nutshell, for the most part, especially the part about being consensus-oriented. Japanese business culture is completely based on this: no decisions ever get made quickly or unilaterally; they require tons of boring meetings to build consensus before something big gets done. Caring for the weak and quality of life isn't as big as some western European nations, at least in terms of government policy, but it's still there, especially with, for instance, respect for elders (there's even a national holiday just for this).

By contrast, America ranking only 62 here seems like a bad joke. American culture is all about achievement, heroism (hello, Marvel movies!), assertiveness (even when you're completely wrong), and certainly material rewards for success. Caring for the weak? Americans hate that: that's why they vote against social programs any time they can. "Quality of life" isn't a concern in America.

If these people got these two countries SO completely and obviously wrong on the masculinity index, I really have no trust in their rankings for anything else.
The reason can be even that blatantly simple as only females can be pregnant, and until 100 years ago, they were pregnant for 5-10 years in their life. This, obviously, doesn’t mean that it’s beneficial in any sense in the current world, or that this should be the case inherently.
You could just have installed one of the vim extensions for VSCode ;)

(even though it's not 'real vim', it's good enough for using both cmdline vim and vscode without the brain having to switch in and out of 'vim mode')
"Free" education comes to mind, along with greater wealth distribution generally. Averages don't say much.
Funny, I thought about this today when installing Bun^. I read the bash script, saw that it was indeed downloading a release binary from the official GitHub repo, then gave up. The binary it downloaded could do absolutely anything when I run it, am I supposed to then go and verify every line of the source, and all its dependencies? Then verify the release package is the same as the one I make building it myself? Then verify the compiler source is a reasonable interpretation of the Zig spec (which doesn't seem to exist)? Then verify the complier binary I used is the same as the one created by a trusted compilers? Then verify all those binaries....

End of the day: the package is from a somewhat reputable source, and you don't keep life changing secrets user-accessible on your dev machine, fuck it. Also, resist installing as root. Figure out what the real permissions the thing needs are and go from there.

Any discussion of this that ignores the role of vaccine manufacturers in this process are simply lacking. The government had no real incentive to push a policy against science except financial interests (and the influence of people with financial influence.)

Case it point - the demonization of ivermectin - one of the safest drugs ever created that saved so many people's lives (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34466270/). It's also inexpensive. The entire case was that people are promoting something that has not validated as being effective. Not, that its dangerous or that it's stealing people's money - it's not been proven to be an effective treatment. And doctors lost their licenses (many more threatened) over this.
No/Low-code platforms have become a trendy topic recently. But there is almost no information on what it takes to create your own solution of this kind. Therefore, we will focus on the development approaches, architecture of low and no-code platforms, and decomposition. Let’s find out how no-code platforms are built.
Is confiscating privately owned safety equipment the more democratic and libertarian approach than trying to convince people they shouldn't buy that equipment in the first place? That seems way more dystopian to me.
There are laws against lying about it. So if you believe they are scanning your email but saying they're not, then you have a slam dunk case to get rich by suing them.

Edit:
Hell, Google can't keep a secret anymore without leaking it. If what you're saying were true then any employee working on the pipelines and ad targeting would easily get the evidence themselves, and sue Google. Google pays well, but not as well as winning a lawsuit.

> but how do we know one evolutionary theory is the correct one

IMHO, the one that works is the one most likely to result in increased gene propagation even if the percentage is minuscule in the absence of orthogonal genes.

The argument is not that X evolved to do Y, but rather X resulted in increased gene propagation as it happened to do Y.

In the example above, the head of the penis is shaped as such because that shape enables semen displacement. In the same vein, males tend to lose an erection, and therefore the [flaccid] penis loses the displacement property, after excretion because that results in not displacing one's own semen.
Do you by any chance have your whole config shared somewhere?
Considering how much suppory the Chinese gave to North Vietnam, I assume he knew how important support from third parties is.
I've tried to befriend the local winter-flock of crows. But mostly, it's the magpies that's adopted me. Crows are like, can this be true? Is the human leaving the food there for me? Or would I be stealing it? Meanwhile the magpie has already gone, human has food, YAY! and grabbed it all in seconds (they have a surprising capacity in that crop of theirs).

The magpies certainly recognize me now, and do a kind of friendly swoop in front of me to make sure I see them. Sometimes the crows sweep in and grab the treat, to sharp protest from the magpie. And in the summer half of the year, the crows too sometimes get bullied away by a seagull.

I have a feeling the magpies definitively don't like it if I deliberately feed any of the bigger birds. But even the seagulls (which are rather aggressive when they have chicks) have gotten noticeably nicer to me when they've understood there's a chance at an unsalted peanut from time to time.
In this article we’ll explore human pose estimation in depth. We’ll figure out its principle of work and capabilities to understand suitable business cases. Also, we’ll analyze different approaches to Human Pose Estimation as a machine learning technology, and try to define the applications for each.
>It's weird the front page does not mention but 86box (and pcem from which it forked) is a cycle accurate emulator.

because it isnt. While hacking around to debug cache mod I patched bios to output my custom codes using POST card display https://github.com/raszpl/430FXL2Cache. My code wouldnt work on real hardware for the longest time until I figured out 86box is really bad at timing. Something that runs at 1 per second IRL runs at hundreds of hertz in emulator, and vice versa depending on what you are going (accessing I/O).
https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1125370#p1125370

Turns out some real POST cards dont love the idea of writing to port 0x80 twice in a row without any delay and will Error out of hang whole computer. 86Box on the other hand hard links writes to 0x80 with its graphical output update routines and hammering that port not only slows down emulation, but can hang whole emulator so hard you cant even close it until reaching Program Not Responding Timeout.
I see many complaints about the react APIs.

Personally, I like the way react is balanced. Yes, it can feel unintuitive or complicated to beginners, but that's because it puts a lot of emphasis on experts productivity and ergonomics while only using js, not being compiled.

Once you do things the "react way" (whatever that means, you'll get there if you take time to identify and eliminate "smells"), it just feels so... smooth? You can build everything with the same methodology and flow. Simple components can feel a bit over engineered, but the hard ones ones feel much simpler than they would be in other stacks, and upgrading code and functionality feels effortless.
In theory yes, it's more secure.

In practice personally auditing the installation script for every program you're going to use and the installation script for every update is grossly impractical, for the same reason nobody reads EULAs. In the end it still boils down to trust.
Japan, famously possessed of a masking tradition which long predates COVID-19 and equally famously possessed of hundreds of thousands of shut-ins pre-pandemic ('Hikikomori'). Not a useful comparator to a nation that had neither.
Yeah, Python's dependency management is already abysmal, but when lower level language modules get involved its suddenly whole different level of hell. This actually put me off Python entirely. Sadly no real alternative in ML.

> In the mid 90s I had bad hand pain, so bad that most of the day I could only type with one finger. The FSF hired typists for me part of the day, and part of the day I tolerated the pain. After a few years I found out that the pain was due to the hard keys of my keyboard. I switched to a keyboard with lighter key pressure and the problem mostly went away.
How can anybody be surprised that so many people belive in so called "conspiracy theories" when many of them looks like true.

The rising tribalism in times of digital information is truly interesting phenomenon. When most people realise how easily we are manipulated just by words and images in media, trust in any information will not exist. We are really go to post-truth times.
> Now you also need to figure out how to convert said XML into actual API calls that create/update/delete corresponding resources

Under the hood it could use cdk/cdktf/cdk8s and those frameworks would handle the rest.

> The question you need to ask yourself is why/how is this better than what Terrafrom provide

When defining resource component in a Subnet component let's say, it would get subnet automatically from current context (all parents) so developer wouldn't have to provide it directly to. Same with region, az etc. So developer don't have to track variables, but just look at the hierarchy. I think it would be more natural to define infra this way. I am not devops expert by any means, just an idea :)
How is the accessibility? I can't find it mentioned anywhere on your pages.
You are publishing victim's personal information. How is this ok?
In order to grow, you should push at the edges of your comfort zone; nether staying entirely within the known, nor leaping put into the unknown and flailing wildly not knowing what is gong on.

"cold showers" is a counter-example of this, it is "performative discomfort" as you say without a learning. Not all discomfort is productive in itself. Discomfort is a side effect that has other causes.

But discomfort is an effect of this learning, even a marker: in the words of David Bowie, "If you feel safe in the area that you're working in, you're not working in the right area. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting."

I think cars in the US are an absurd size generally, but as the article notes, they're going from absurdly wasteful ICE to absurdly wasteful EVs. Since we need to ramp up a global industry to transition, I don't really mind if the US is helping kick-start that.
> Edit: oh, doesn’t seem like it uses native UI

(note I'm not talking about you specifically here)

There are many solutions out there that "run everywhere" (that matters) and it's always some variation of this compromise.

I get the obsession of having things run natively, but at some point you have to ask yourself if it's really that important.

This reminds me of people who want a game, but spend most if not all of their time trying to find the perfect game engine or even trying to make their own engine. I get it, it's fun. But it can potentially be mentally exhausting if you want an end product and a perfect prebuilt framework.

Personally I just enjoy building frameworks and tooling and find happiness just doing that. If I were to make a product I'd be using something that works well enough and try to leave my obsession with finding/building the perfect framework out of it.

Everyone involved in that movie production is probably dead by now (released in1939), plus it has profited handsomely (revenue at 10x production cost, according to Wikipedia), which is to say: no regrets pirating this kind of movie.

Absolutely right but the fact still stands that we have no valid data to paint it as a fact that the data of the entire population is compromised. It's a communication 101 that you never communicate in absolutes if you can't verify your findings.
I wonder how much of the damage to South Korea was due to that one group of people that went around infecting others on purpose, if not for that they may well have done much better still.

Spotify absolutely fit an access problem dead on: They're subscription, unless you can tolerate ads and various limitations*. Limits like not being able to control exactly what you're listening to (no beginning to end playback of albums, only shuffle), ads every 3-5 songs, playlists that were originally capped and again, only available on shuffle.

iTunes didn't improve on the physical store model any further than "now you don't have to get out of you chair to get new music." The DRM that wrapped around most tracks was frustrating enough for most people that the cost of the album didn't matter, you were better off going to a physical store, buying the physical CD, ripping it using iTunes to unencumbered ALAC/AAC and using it with iTunes or with other devices and apps.

Sure, people still used iTunes, but more for the fact that it was HEAVILY integrated with the Hot Shit Object, the iPod.

Spotify removed the barrier at the right time to succeed in the market. If you wanted to listen to Albums, you paid. But it was there, easy, no questions. You could just pop in and listen to That Single that just came out.

Most people who wanted ad-free music are going to be willing to pay for it. The rest, who are fine with radio-ish "I want to listen to the current top40" are fine with ads. It took Apple quite a while to come to near that, and they Only have a subscription model that isn't very well liked by its users.

Clearly the arguments that sound less convincing have failed to survive and reproduce. The existence of evolutionary arguments is therefore proof of the correctness of the theory! ;)
You could do unary encoding in a parallel register (and conversely binary encoding using a serial bit stream).

The essence of unary encoding is that the number is encoded by the number of bits set to 1 in the word, and not the position of the 1s in the word (as binary do).
e.g. using unary you can encode integer number 3 as: "00000111".

But in the paper, they encode real numbers between 0 and 1 using unary and not integer numbers.
Using unary, real number are represented as the ratio of the number of bits set to the total number of bits in the word.
e.g. the word "00000111" will encode 3/8.

Also, they use rate-coded unary number, meaning that they do not require to stack the 1's at the beginning of the word. 1's a randomly placed within the word.

This allow you to implement stochastic multiplier using a bitwise AND. [1]

e.g.
4/8 could be encoded as "01011001"

2/8 could be encoded as "10010000"

and you can compute the product 4/8 * 2/8 using a bitwise AND of the two word:

"01011001" AND "10010000" = "00010000"

"00010000" encode 1/8 (and 4/8 * 2/8 = 1/8).

Using a serial bit stream rather than a parallel register allow to use a single AND gate.

-Hey PM, I'm worried about this. We don't have the resource allocation to ensure the on-device data can't fall into the wrong hands. It's not even encrypted!

-I hear your concerns and agree. There are strong protocols set in place to make sure devices are taken care of after use, and only personnel trained on this device may use and access it. Don't worry, they know what they are doing. We can add that encryption into firmware v2 so relax. Did you sign up for that conference in Florida btw? It's going to be the bomb, sunshine, fun like no tomorrow!
Am I missing something, or does it not emulate the serial port?

I must be missing something, as it does even emulate 3d cards. There's no way it doesn't emulate the serial port.
One of the great qualities of react is to not be compiled, which removes an entire layer of confusion. It's a tradeoff but it is makes it a lot more predictable.
From the plant's side, to get us to eat it, and from our side to get us to eat it.
To be fair, the package must be provided by your distribution, otherwise it's just another random download, only in a different format.

Even if you are adding a third-party package repository, you just change the downloader. Although you usually get signature checking with that step for free.

And therein lies the issue: It's not the job of the software developers to provide packages for your distribution, but the job of your distribution maintainers.

So, if your distribution will probably not backport $newver of some tool to your release, you are only left with installing it via different means.

If you find yourself always installing software like this because your package repositories don't contain what you want, it may be a good idea to just check out different distros.
It’s hard to beat free. And of course MS is now trying to kill on prem AD in favour of subscription based AAD.
The apt repo thing is actually why I switched to Arch a while back. In Arch you have most packages being up-to-date by default (because you're on a "rolling release").

There is also the "Arch User Repository" which includes a bunch of useful packages that are easy to install, but with full transparency about where the contents are coming from (you can inspect the script).

They have even released an easy installed for Arch now that you can use, or you can just use Manjaro Linux. Regardless though, I really appreciate this distro for development after many years of using Ubuntu!
This is just more egalitarian cope.

Of course there are local differences which is why these need to be normalized with a population-wide sample. In that case, sex differences present themselves clearly.

As the article states, surprise surprise, on average compared to men, women are more interested in people than things.
