I recently went through some health issues that had me thinking about this quite a bit. Other than normal age-related presbyopia, I haven't had much to complain about until this. However, with a temporary loss of fine motor control in one hand and some short-term cognitive difficulties, I became keenly aware of where assumptions of "normal" functioning fall short in using tech. For a couple of days I could barely use my phone, and resorted to voice-to-text for communicating.
Nodal based image editing is the standard in the film industry, though obviously there it’s predominantly used for sequences of images. Nuke is the industry standard, though there are a few others.

I would agree it’s pointless if you just want a simple linear set of image processing operations like Lightroom, but film based compositing is obviously vastly more complex than that.
A TexMacs file can be opened up in any text editor. It's readable -- XML-like without quite being XML. Presumably, this can be used to work around some limitations of the WYSIWYG editor.

I think LyX's file format is not as well-designed.

> OTOH we have places like youtube where content makers seem to make more money with sponsorships (which are like contextual ads) than with google's adsense.

Even if not more, it would be in addition to what the google way would generate. Or for those for which google won't pay due to copyright claims, it is the only way, in which case any sponsorship is more than google.
No approach is a silver bullet here, but what I've found effective is to seek out friendships with / mentorship from senior and staff-level engineers. They'll have tons of war stories from 10-20 years ago, and may even have some snarky opinions on what "new technologies" are just re-inventions of something that the industry had already solved decades ago.

As a current undergrad, you can also look to your professors for this (especially those with industry experience before they went into teaching).

After graduation, this may mean working at a company _with_ those older engineers, as opposed to a 5-20 person startup with a homogeneous group of 20-somethings.
Some of the images don't appear to render for me.

Also, the author includes an example of \int xyzdx and makes a note of using appropriate spacing. It is my impression that commonly the differential operator is typeset differently, that is: \mathrm{d}x.

Otherwise, great tips.

Here is a good recent overview of where automated fact checking is positioned right now: https://aclanthology.org/2022.tacl-1.11.pdf
Fact checking of AI generated content can potentially be optimized for this use case.
And for speed: I think many of the computations for several layers of AI processing can be decentralized in the future and re-establish the heart of the Internet. The contributions for such computations need a high level of trust and therefore a public immutable ledger might be a viable approach. So perhaps decentralized AI might be the use case where finally some "blockchain-crypto-cringe" might actually be useful ;-)

We need to be aware that we just entered the steep part of the exponential growth graph.

Programming competitions are still extremely narrow games, nowhere similar to the vast majority of real-life programming tasks. They have narrowly defined inputs and outputs, and even these are described in formal language.

It's nice that CodeRL can solve them, but to say that they work in "coding" and "math" is a huge stretch.

What? The article isn't discussing the question of whether the Mohammed images from Hamline are offensive, it's about the unholy confluence of liberal wokeness and conservative political agenda. So the absence of imagery is fine.

But anyone who argues that these illustrations are in fact offensive argues that the artists and those who commissioned those artworks were apostates and renegades, and there is no evidence whatsoever of that.

I agree, but I think it's an important point because there are a lot of people who think suffering is completely bad and that goal should be to reach a state without suffering. I don't think such a state would be desirable and anyone who has played a video game with cheats for more than 10 minutes knows why :)
I consider that a damn good suggestion
It is more tedious for simple stuff than layer stacks, but more complex stuff quickly becomes more tedious (or impossible) with layer stacks. Hence, node UIs have become standard with compositing applications that were not designed by Adobe.
it would be surprising if all countries were not trying to infiltrate and manipulate sites which have become trusted sources, perhaps only a matter of a lack of resources preventing more activity of this type. Be interesting to see if we can come up with a 'league table of influence' on Wikipedia - I would imagine Saudi's would be pretty low ranking, US / UK probably No1 and No2 (and working together to keep it that way). Israel are too smart not to be all over it also.

The problem is that we've been subsidizing single family homes to an insane degree. It takes a lot more infrastructure to support single family homes vs. more dense forms of housing. You need more sewer pipe, more wiring, more sidewalks, more streets, more plowing, etc. So cities in North America have been doing this unsustainable Ponzi scheme where they pack on more debt to do all this extra maintenance.

WiFi Scheduler Solutions?
Hi all,

Does anyone know of software that can manage your router and set a schedule? For example, it can shut off the wifi at 10pm every night.

This is based on some recent anecdotal experience with kids who are up all night on their phones/iPads (which seems like a common problem). And honestly I also spend too much time on the internet. It'd be nice to have another solution besides physically unplugging the router.
Tell that to the Rust Compiler people ;)
> Using ADT to mean “abstract data type” does not mean anything more than what most people mean when they say “type”.

Abstract data type is a type where you don't get direct access to the information contained in it. The encapsulation is what makes it "abstract".
In the context of C programming, ADT usually means an opaque struct with some related functions.

The Netherlands is flat, so cycling like the Dutch would require not just changing infrastructure and social behavior, but changing the landscape in many places where people live as well...Amsterdam is known for it's canals, San Francisco for its hills -- e.g. the highest natural point in San Francisco (area 121 km^2) is 283m, the highest point in the entire Netherlands (area 41,500 km^2) is less than 40m higher.

I'm not saying the idea of everybody biking like the Dutch is as absurd as the idea of everybody boating like the Venetians, but it ignores the role of landscape in a similar way.

I'm surprised. Do you have a good source for this?
Even if your premise is right, your timing has to be right too. The SP500 has doubled since 2014 which lines up with the traditional 7% per year. Meanwhile they're paying 12% per year to short, so their approach is a compounded 22% worse[1] than VTSAX-and-chill (before even considering capital risk). This is still gambling, just not in the usual direction.

> This highlights the danger, as humans, we seem quite susceptible to believing things that seem plausible. This is probably quite an important part of just getting through the day - we don’t have time to check everything we read or hear - so we have to make some assumptions about what is true and what is not.

Truth is a relatively new concept. Humans spent eons surviving on 3 rules:

- Can I eat it?
- Can f** it?
- Will it kill me?

We're still dependant on / wired for those today.
To some problems that are almost always seen in the academic world but I've yet to see in my daily job.

Inheritance (from implementation, I've nothing against implementation of interfaces or inheritance from abstract base classes) has a ton of problems, more importantly the fact that it makes the code more difficult to understand and to evolve.

Composition on the other hand is something more natural, even if we think about real life: you don't usually take an object and "extend" it, you take multiple object and use them together to build something!
The webpage in the title is pretty good. It explains most things you need to achieve OOP in C. This PDF however pushes C for what it is not intended for, which leads to inefficient and obscure code.

For example, the first example in the PDF implements a Set. Everything is "void". This loses typing and will make code hard to read and maintain. The way inheritance is mimicked is hideous and inefficient. The PDF also heavily uses function pointers, which can be slow (because they aren't easily inlined) and waste memory (because each pointer costs 8 bytes on x64).

In all, most large C projects are doing OOP at some level. However, C is not C++ and is not intended for providing all OOP features like inheritance. This book should probably be titled "Wrong ways to OOP in C".

PS: The book does have some interesting ideas, but those are the "clever" things you will have to unlearn later. The author provides the source code for the book [1]. Have a look at the string implementation in Chapter Two. That is the most arcane and inefficient string implementation I have seen.

Ask HN: How to stop dreaming about working in other fields?
I have severe FOMO or ‘grass is greener’ issues in that I have a well paid, fairly easy job, but I keep dreaming about working in other fields. I’ve been a Developer, and now Software Sales Engineer (still coding a lot), for 10 years.

I keep dreaming about going to school again for Physics or ‘real’ engineering (Mech, EE, etc.) and working on cars, planes, ships. I have friends who went that route and work on really cool things but they keep saying they did CS due to how easy and flexible of a life it gives.

Any tips to get my mind out of this and just be happy with my life?
From TFA: It’s also a sign that GDPR, Europe’s landmark privacy law that was introduced in 2018, actually has teeth.

I've been saying this ever since I took some seminars on how the GDPR actually worked after it was passed (and before it came into effect). People, particularly in the SV tech bubble, laughed and said (and presumably thought) this was Cooke Banners 2.0.

It's not.

And in fact, almost all the GDPR banners now used are illegal, and as we can see, this will be enforced. It just takes time, because GDPR is a sensible law that aims for compliance, not for fines. So at first there will be notifications, information, smaller fines. But they will escalate until compliance is achieved.

And yes, as the title says, this is the end of Surveillance Capitalism. Good riddance.
No, I mean Unreal's and its community's focus on graphics etc. Definitely not the IDE. :) Someone once told me that "if you want to design a game, use Unreal. If you want to create a game, use Unity."

Unreal is undoubtedly a great game engine, but it's not for me. If you feel it's better for _you_, then use it. Always use the tool you are most comfortable with. :)
Money printers bad. Including the Federal Reserve (since its inception 109 years ago, the US Dollar has lost 96% of its value.)

There is an argument that deflationary currencies are bad because people will not want to spend them as they accrue value, but that value has to go somewhere; either stays in your pocket with deflationary currency or goes to some billionaire's fourth yacht's heated seats with inflationary.
Something that would get me to adopt this library would be the ability to auto-generate OpenAPI specs. Currently I use typoa [1] and manually wire it up in a catch-all API route.

Yeah but if you make artists 100x more productive the natural consequence is that there will be far fewer employed artists.

The senior ones will probably be ok (as you say, they might even get a payrise, given how much impact a single individual will be able to have) but people just joining the industry now are likely screwed.
There's a difference though: You were talking about them, and not some public figure you are supposed to be following. When you are talking about me to my face, I'd really like you to use the proper form of address, otherwise you are insisting on being disrespectful.

The most important macroeconomic policy wrt recessions is monetary and they look at prices, the CPI and things that signal a hot (too strong) economy. If they paid attention to consumer sentiment, whether or not people expected a recession, they would not hike rates or would actually cut them. It’s more complicated than I can lay out in a short post, so I would just ask you or the parent poster to provide an example of a recession that was driven by sentiment alone. I can’t think of any.
I use GitHub Copilot at work. At first, I found myself blindly accepting its suggestions. They seemed so plausible!

After I got bit in the behind by enough weird, AI generated bugs, I learned the right level of trust. I now know how to read the code it writes and check the parts it’s likely to get wrong.

I think, with this generation of the technology, being too trusting of AIs is going to be an issue mainly for people who don’t interact with them much or in circumstances where the boundaries between real people and AIs are unclear (e.g. customer service chats).

Once AIs’ error rate goes down, that’s where it’s going to be tricky. Humans are notoriously bad at monitoring low failure rate processes. Once things go right a hundred times, we like to assume they’ll go right forever. It’s what makes getting people to properly monitor things like nuclear power plants such a challenge.

I didn't think this was true. The secret sauce was that Erlang preempted on reduction counts, so as a result nothing has any responsibility to yield itself.

Right now the lines are kind of blurred between people who make great art, and people who have the technical skills to create nice graphical imagery.

Lets say that someone gets a character design dropped on their desk, and are told to create some graphics of that character running through a field, climbing a tree, jumping through a window, all using the identical style as the character design sheet. I don't really think there's a lot of real artistry going on there, despite the fact that the person with the skills to perform that work today almost certainly developed those skills while creating their own personal art portfolio.

I have not worked in the gaming industry, but what I hear is that a lot of gaming studios today hire up legions of technically skilled people, and grind them to death in sweatshop-like conditions, while not actually utilizing any of their creative talent.

My hope is that this new tech will empower real artists to massively multiply their productivity, so they can focus on creating new beautiful styles, stories, and personalities for their characters, rather than spending all day painting.

It kind of feels like a Gutenberg Press scenario. Before the Printing Press, you had to have thousands of artists transcribing books, copying the images in great detail, and using their impeccable handwriting to ensure that each page was as legible as their source material. I'm sure that back then it felt like thousands of artists were losing their jobs to these machines, but it ended up creating an explosion of literacy and enabled subsequent generations to publish their work at a scale that was never before possible.
Wikipedia describes it better as "a milestone in the history of data collection and management" or a forerunner of Wikipedia.

Card index systems as shown were not unusual in libraries or large offices. The difference here seems to be the global scope, collaboration in sourcing text, and the public access.

A bacteria has order of 50 billion atoms. (Eukaryotic human cells, 100 trillion.)

That's getting to the point you could store 20 bytes per atom in a terabyte.

Not only that. I’m potentially publishing across many sites I haven’t verified. A well known newspaper seems unlikely to engage in outright fraud, but someone I don’t even know, why should I trust them?

What a great summary! Unfortunately, many discussions of TeX vs alternatives are somewhat thin on details and are instead trading on emotions. As you mentioned in your comment, the choices made by Knuth are far from random. He even made it possible for anyone to change them! Not many people using TeX know that the choice of the backslash as an 'escape' character may be easily changed. Even the necessity of curly braces may be avoided using carefully designed macros. LaTeX took a different path but it is only one possible choice. It is telling that no real alternatives have emerged during the 40+ years of TeX's existence.
I think that is completely wrong, scrolling through thousands or even millions of records is vastly more usable than clicking through pages. Of course you do not load millions of records into RAM, just the ones that cross the view bounds.
The author seems to be a 3D artist, and claims to have spent 18 hours for this work, that he estimates as 5 days worth, that he thinks not copyrightable. To me it seems to be just raising the bar/granting more productivity for artists with prior skills and abilities to read the room.
