Most EULAs are basically meaningless in the USA. Once you have a legally acquired copy of the program the Copyright Act specifically and explicitly gives you the right to back it up and load it for execution. You don't need to be licensed a legal right you already have.

You can also print it off, cross out the shit you don't consent to, initial the changes, sign, and mail it certified to whatever their address of record is. I'm not a lawyer, but at that point my understanding is it's their job to say no we don't agree, just like it was your job to say no I don't agree.

California rental agreements are a particularly odious example. Liquidated damages (AKA late fees) are completely illegal in California. In fact it's illegal to even present a lease that has a LD clause to be signed! Sometimes I wish I were more into small claims swashbuckling, because I bet you could have a dozen small claims for various properties going against Equity Residential in any California city.
Twilio has a neat platform, but their standards are very low or nonexistent when you experience jitter, large audio buffers or routing issues.

Providing PCAPs and reproducing routing issues doesn't result in support addressing these issues. Many other IPES and CLECs will actually fix these issues when documented.

Irrespective of how many sides there are to the original story, why is the parent comment flagged? He did YC, but he's not in the directory - those two statements are true, no?

Because nobody has actual stats. Your link is from one attempt to find some stats, but unless every major distro activates it by default (which they will probably never do on account of privacy issues), it's a tiny and biased sample.
> only so much they can do with someone that has been eating poorly and sitting still for most of their life leading up to enlistment

That's kind of BS. Young people that enlist are not fully formed adults yet and have a huge opportunity to reshape themselves to be fit for military service. I can speak from experience here. Basic training sheds pounds and builds muscle, I've seen it first hand. The problem is that it lasts only 8 week which is not nearly long enough to create new habits or break old ones.
@dang this is currently #198 off the front page, yet this is basically an emergency (literally every customer's secrets are exposed?)... either circleci has no more customers, or people are very calm about this...

we need to rotate:

- secrets in context environment variables
- secrets in project environment variables
- project deploy keys
- circleci api tokens

then we have to go back and look at all audit logs for... basically everything... and try to find something that looks weird. :/
As a programmer who sometimes does contract work, I know how that works.

You seem pretty out of date on your opinion. gedit is not in GNOME anymore. GNOME Weather is definitely consistent with the test of the desktop since people did a lot of porting in 42 and 43 to implement designs. GNote is not even a core GNOME application. GNOME Contacts is probably under maintained, but I'm sure if you see design issues, you would bring them up on the issue tracker instead of rambling in a HN comment.
insurance companies are super powerful in the US, and some states are pro-business to some insane level. things such as this and businesses similar to 23andme really scare me. you need just one state to make it legal / one fucked CEO, and insurance company have your insurance data & your health data. Maybe there's a data leak & they use it without telling people, who knows.

It’s equally unlikely the actual salary range is 90k to 900k for the same position. The issue isn’t 900k as a number or 90k as a number it’s the vast difference between them.
I would extend this idea with Step-Wise semi automation. There have been large complex data sets I had to wrangle or sysadmin operational tasks that I have have to complete that I did in several automation steps. "Bend, fold, and staple" the problem with a script, check the results, make a decision, plan the next step. Repeat until done. (PS Keep all your scripts and record notes in playbook)

For problems that happened more that once use the playbook to repeat. Learn about the corner case and record them in the playbook
For problems that repeat often add more automation as needed until you have
a prototype for the fully automated.
If there is enough value and problem stability decide if a rewrite is needed to get it out of my hands and have it fully automated.
From my experience this was very rare.
The rate of change of that progress bar would be the gradient of the progress with respect to time.

Could be a handy thing to have if, for example, you were designing some progress animation...
Sure but the pixels painted to the screen and the gestures handled by the application code are all the platform’s native UI framework. Knowledge of the underlying platform UI framework is transferable.

In React Native if something is slow or you want to use a recently-released native platform feature you can write a native component. That’s possible with Flutter too, but if you mix Flutter & native views, there’s a bunch of performance issues due to texture copies and thread synchronization.
Honestly, they had jumped the shark back in GNOME 2 era, when the giant rewrite started being used as excuse to not bring back functionality from 1.x series.

My Canary in the coal mine was, IIRC, discussion about presenting certain printer options to end user around 2.2 to 2.4 switch, and some options getting discarded from GUI and into regedit-style tinkering, because GNOME team considered them superfluous. From what I recall, the options were ones that I would occasionally use on Windows (and not just I, but also people who wouldn't be considered techies).
That's only one part of the discussion. Now I don't want to throw undeserved shade, but I'm already running two MRs on top of upstream GTK to work around issues where "patches are welcome" and I haven't checked in a while, but I'm guessing they're no closer to merging than before (edit: wrong; one of them WAS merged, and the other I stopped running due to FTBFS, though it's still not merged.) I understand that bandwidth is limited, but saying "patches welcome" as a project that is notorious for throwing that out even when it's probably not going to be merged feels kind of scummy, because it basically enables doing one thing and saying another without need to justify or discuss it. It's obviously the GNOME developer's volitions if they don't want spend any cycles on it, but the message sent to the Wayland ecosystem is not great, and it's going to be a thing I think about when I hear "GNOME Project" for a very long time.

(And frankly, soliciting patches for an issue then having the contributor sit for over a year rebasing without any substantial feedback is just kind of shitty.)
Show HN: Summarisr – Generate a summary of the key points from any YouTube video
A tiny project that attempts to pull out the key points from a YouTube video and provide a short summary. The summary is generated from the video captions, so it wont work very well/at all with purely visual content. I've also limited it to around 2700 words, so key points towards the end of long videos (>10 min) may be omitted.
It's been an idea in science fiction even longer. E.g., the 1941 short story "Reason" by Isaac Asimov was set in an orbiting power station with a microwave downlink [1].

So the "hack into them" part isn't quite right. But they certainly do intercept and analyze various signals. Which is generally the boring and tedious part. But right or wrong, it is sort of the standard play for the feds to let some criminal activity continue to gather additonal intel.
In my experience, the “average” user has a billion* icons on their desktop.

Also bonus asbestos and fibreglass! (Yes, obviously wear protective equipment, but that shit travels and gets on things.)
A bit of ageism? Perhaps “old people” simply have better things to do than play video games and share juvenile jokes with their anonymous Discord “friends”, attempting to demonstrate their coolness. I would suggest that age or any other demographic category, whether race, gender, sexual preference, etc. constitutes a poor metric by which to judge the merits of a technology platform.
Ask HN: Are ICs at tech companies usually so concerned about job performance?
I work for Facebook (now Meta) on an infra service and have for over 3 years. When I joined I knew I was getting into an environment that had high expectations of ICs.

Ever since I started there has been this high anxiety attitude around job performance -- specifically performance reviews. As an L3 I paid much attention to it but after a promo or two people started giving me advice that I should be prepared to 'really output a lot of impact' in order to make it. I have done quite well so far, but I'm getting a bit exhausted by trying to continuously justify my worth \ existence as an IC and ensure people perceive my work as good \ important.

As I've seen my friends move around to other companies I've gotten the sense that engineers at other companies don't really have to deal with this sort of anxiety as much, either because expectations are more concrete ("we need these things done\designed\scoped out and you're working on it") or because performance reviews are just not so intense.

With recent layoffs and the direction of the company I am thinking about trying to move around, maybe to a smaller company. From a personal perspective, performance culture is one of the things I have come to dislike most about this company, although maybe it's like this most places.

Is it like this elsewhere? Any thoughts?

Note: by IC I mean engineers that contribute to changes directly, not sure if that's a common term
Not really. It's an artifact of contract law.
Could you give an example that is not a byproduct of a contractual provision?
What do you mean constant API changes? GTK 3 existed for what, 10 years? GLib hasn't had an API break in how long?
Qualifying state-level evil at these scales is invitation for bickering and reductionism. Saudi Arabia is indistinguishable enough from the most evil regimes in power today that one can have a reasonable argument about whether it belongs there. That sets it apart in degree from America and, I would argue, China, and in kind from Iceland or Canada.
What can GNOME do to still chase after power users? I genuinely don’t see what it has to add to powerusers. There’s great window managers and CLI/TUI tools, is there anything GNOME could offer for non-beginners that’s not already done better?
Well, we can't really know if it does or doesn't reduce the rate (at least without more research than I am aware having been performed, and more than I'm willing to do), but I can only report that my own experience is that reading stuff like this as a lurker has been helpful for me. Given the choice and without the ability to know what is in people's hearts and whether or not I have moved them, I prefer optimism.

I'd propose these ideas are in tension but not contradiction, and that with you walking your path and me walking mine, the community as a whole benefits.
all of the things this product wants to solved would be better served by removing cars from our cities. Like everything can be in walking distance, when they're built within walking distance in the first place.

In the federal system. Like the bail situation, one of the reasons this violates people’s expectation is the federal system does not work the same as most state systems.
It all depends upon what you are trying to do.

If you want to store lot's of json data then yes, JSONB is the better option.

As for the MERGE and INSERT ON CONFLICT vs INSERT OR REPLACE, they all work differently, they are not the same. The SQLITE option is simpler and better if you just want to ensure a full row is there in a specific state. If you want to preserve certain columns then the PostgreSQL options are better.

Edit: I do wish that PostgreSQL had the SQLite options and that SQLite had the PostgreSQL options, because they are good for different things and it would be nice to have access to all of it regardless of which DB I am working with (I use both in different apps).

> It’s also important that they don’t agree on a sentence too early because they might find out she played a larger role than they assume at this point.

There is no such thing as a sentencing agreement in the US federal system. At most, the defense and prosecution, when it gets to that point, could agree on recommendations, but the judge would still be free to disagree.
My canary was similar: the removal of the screensaver settings.
Can you think of a less obtuse way to interpret the comment? You may be missing a good point.
I honestly don't think that model works. What if you want to join data between two datasets from two providers? Who pays for the cloud? What if the researchers want to do more featurization, making snapshot views for performance?

Well that's why I didn't say "just another CPU core". But fine, I don't want to argue semantics.

Then that's definitely not happening here, and hasn't happened to x86/arm since they gained floating point, right?

Since starting working from home, I've tried a lot of different kinds of indoor exercise and have benefitted from nearly all of them. One I've been enjoying lately is using heavy metal rolds as swinging implements. Last month, I wrote up my thoughts about them:

Definitely. Robotics is 20% hardware, 80% software/control algs, for anything interesting. You can get very far with a virtual environment.
It's not about escaping the sex offender status. It's about not having that be the first thing that pops up in a Google search for your current legal name.

A legal name change is the obvious solution, here. A thorough background check will certainly turn up the legal name change and the sex offender status, but few employers actually perform a thorough background check.

For the most part, you only need to pass the "what comes back in a Google search for your current legal name" test.

Yes, this might limit OP's options when it comes to prospective employers, but there are plenty whose "background check" is "have someone in HR type their legal name from their government-issued ID into Google".

Of course, this all _takes time_ which OP doesn't have, but if they hadn't left this to the last minute, this wouldn't have been an issue.

But later in life, as a source of entertainment, books can't compete with bars, chatting with friends, television, movies, sports, social media,

That's just, like, your opinion dude.

All joking aside, I do firmly dispute the quoted statement above. But whether that matters or not depends on a lot of things. I read a lot of books, but also watch television, movies, sports, etc., frequent social media, and chat with friends. And substitute "coffee shops" for "bars" and I do that as well. I don't see it as competition. I like a blend of all of those influences. But I can't answer "why read a book" any more (or less) than I can answer "why hang out at coffee shops?"

So I dunno. I like to read, but I've been reading regularly for something like ~46 years. Reading to me is as much a routine part of life as breathing or sleeping or eating. It would be weirder to me to not read, ya know?

Now if we get away from entertainment and talk learning, then that's a whole different ball of wax. And I hope very little needs to be said about why one should read books if one wants to learn stuff (to use a highly technical term).

The one last thought I'll add though is this: should reading be accorded some special status or significance? Or should there be any sense of shame or whatever in not reading?

There are people out there who would answer an emphatic "yes" to both questions. But personally, even as a life-long avid reader, I say "no". There are a LOT of ways to spend one's time, and only so much time available. And as much as I read, I spend a lot of time not reading. So it's not hard for me to imagine someone with a very slightly different mindset than mine skewing their time allocation towards much less reading. And that's OK. Maybe they are restoring old cars, or volunteering at a soup kitchen, or hunting, or train-spotting, or bird-watching, or hiking, or playing rugby, or doing one or more of a bazillion other things that they find fulfilling, instead of reading. I say that's fine.

I entirely believe you made it work but I think you are one of the exceptions now. Basic training will induce crazy weight loss but it will not reverse T2D which many young people now have. Many of them can't do a single push-up. Run 1 to 1.5 miles? Most of them would end up in the hospital. There are parts of the U.S. where this is the exception rather than the norm. The high-school kids around me are like freight trains and ready for the NFL. But this is not the case in most big cities.

I think the usecase is the new generation of platform as a service (PaaS) popping up. Cloudflare workers/pages, Netifly, Vercel ect.

They all deploy web apps at the edge, so are distributed by default. A lot of the web apps deployed on these services have small volumes of data, read heavy and low writes. They are also low system resources so an embedded db makes sense?

Running SQLLite locally to the application will give extremely low read latency with most of the apps being read heavy/biased. The sales pitch for deploying at the edge is you can have hundreds of apps running across the globe near your users transparently.

I’m fairly interested in LiteFS as a distributed cache. I’ve seen systems use a message queue listening for updates then updating local caches which is a bunch of custom code/plumbing that can be replaced with LiteFS. Using LiteFS the read replicas are essentially materialised views.

I accidentally run into this post while researching personal wikis. On the one hand I don't agree that the chronological log structure is that bad (it actually works quite well in many cases), on the other hand it has a point that there are other ways to organize personal pages which makes sense as well.

> We’re subsidizing companies that create unhealthy addictive food

People love to bitch about the "diet industry" (which as a whole, seems to be almost entirely bro-science and snake oil), but the profits made there pale in comparison to fast food and processed food. It's really something that we should fix, like we did with tobacco and alcohol.

Fixing food deserts, even though they are not really widespread enough to entirely account for the obesity epidemic, needs to happen as well.

And taking subsidies away from animal products like meat, dairy and corn (specifically for HFCS) would go a long ways to improving the standard American diet (aka, SAD).
