Having a shipping fee actually leads to less returns and frivolous purchases(not even accounting for wasted packaging+cost+labor)

Maybe someone else would have bought one or more of those books while they were out on "unexpected loan"?

Maybe, as someone else pointed out, they ordered replacement copies of the sold books unnecessarily.

Maybe they made accounting decisions (employee bonuses, debt/supplier payments, etc) based on their assumed revenue that month, and now they have to deal with an unexpected shortfall?

So many potential reasons why this isn't "zero effect".

Not sure why you're trying so hard to talk away the impact of the "shitty move by the buyer" here.
When I was younger, a friend's dad used to run a millinery. We'd sometimes hang out there for half an hour after school and then his dad would take us home by car. I was always amused by that oddly specific sign next to the cash register saying something like "one week return policy, except for black or white hats". Every time I saw that sign my curiosity grew so one day I finally asked his das what was up with that specific exclusion. "Simple" he said. "White hats are for weddings, black hats for funerals. People would return them all the time, the day after the ceremony."
Someday; I'm sure
> For the sake of completeness, I’ve also included Keras in the figure below. It was released at around the same time as TensorFlow. But, as one can see, it’s tanked in recent years.

Seriously!? Author has no clear idea of what she's talking about. Keras IS THE front end of TF. They are not different, they are the same thing!

> PyTorch is better for students and research

> TensorFlow has the better deployment infrastructure

Ammm... OKAY!?

I'm not a TF fan or anything but reading some half baked absurd claims and saying one is better over another is just nuts. Both frameworks are built to satisfies the need of different demographics of projects, people and organizations. It's NICE to learn both, use both where required and I wish that both frameworks continuously evolves and make this space more accessible to built & deploy more complex solutions. Also f$%$ JAX, no one cares about you so just STFU.
Yeah, I just went back and re-read the article’s Canadian statistic…

“In Canada waiting times have reached an all-time high, with a median delay of half a year between referral and treatment.”

I’ll pass, thanks.
Which is why I was asking about a solution that addressed the aspect of the issue that the first solution did not.
No, this is not a useful or interesting response. We have in many places at many times of the day extreme excesses energy (with free electricity and often negative prices in some regions), especially in places with high winds at night (when industry isn't consuming as much.) In many of these situations, our biggest problem is a lack of energy storage rather than power. There comes a point where the cost in losses becomes low enough, what is that point and what factors are involved.
One guy I worked with was hired by the company, moved into an apartment near the office, and bought all of his furniture from Costco. I guess they have a very liberal return policy because when he another job and moved to a different state around a year later, he simply returned all of the furniture to Costco.

If you really want to get a billion off earth quickly, you'd use a non-rocket system like a launch loop ($3/kg) or an orbital loop ($0.05/kg).

I kinda agree that most humans won't leave Earth, at least for the foreseeable future, even if those things were magically built this year: even in 2019, international tourism was only 1.466 billion people, less than 20%.
I was wondering how you pair devs with similar interests and noticed that it says "using ML" exactly once. Is that the scope of it or are there settings?

Seems I misunderstood completely. The site uses ML to do the matching and devs feed the ML how?
"Because I is the 9th letter of the alphabet, and character 9 in ASCII is a tab."

clear the 7th bit.

I wonder how common it is to see bits numbered from 1 instead of 0, because "7th bit" to me is the top one in a byte, with weight 2^7 = 128.
I think a lot of this has to do with older, more experienced staff retiring as soon as they can. That was brought forward by COVID. So of course productivity drops off a cliff. As more boomers retire we will continue to see this compound many issues, including healthcare.
Yes. Home staging is a fairly common business for cities to have. They'll provide all of the materials themselves and then take them back once the photography/open houses are complete.

That's an accurate enough description of what's going on here, yeah, but I'm very curious if this could be implemented in hardware. What we've got is an inexact not-quite-binary adder, but one that's potentially smaller and faster than the regular binary ones.

I'm sorry, isn't your link about how a user found a memory error in the Linux codebase? It seems way farfetched to jump to your conclusion from that starting point. I mean, doesn't Linux have over 12 million lines of code right now?

Canadian health care system in the current state is not something that you want to copy. It's failing apart in all provinces and I would say it's a year or two from total collapse. We already have areas that closed ER for a few weeks.
Ask HN: Should I quit my job?
For a while now (a couple of months) I struggle with having any motivation at my programming job. I like the company's profile and have a great team, but:
- I was hired at a lower level than I interviewed for. Was going for a senior dev position, having 10 years of professional exp in the area, but apparently was hired for a mid position. I found out about this only 6 months in.
- My manager and other people in the management admitted to me I should've been hired as a senior dev. No one till now could explain to me how this happened.
- Apparently, the company can't adjust my level, because "the processes won't allow it".
- In order to get to the level I was supposed to be hired at, I need two promotions in a row. This will mean I need 1.5-2 years with the company just to get to the senior position (!!!).
- I keep getting great reviews in the review cycles (not to brag, just to paint the full picture), but it leads to no actual actions being taken by the company: neither in terms of the levels nor in terms of the compensation. All this feels like a pat on the head.
- The title itself is meh, but it has a very tangible effect now: the company is comparing my salary to mid-level devs (usually having half of my experience) and uses this to justify no or minimal salary increases, in spite of the overachiever reviews and the inflation being at almost 20% in my country.
- All this leads to me having close to zero motivation and energy left to work here, hence me wasting time by writing this post.
- This situation left me with a bad taste in my mouth about the industry in general. I feel really disillusioned right now, even though it's not my first company. It's the first one I am so frustrated with.
- Considering the current job market, I am a bit afraid to just quit. I have enough saved up to survive quite a while without a job and have no family to support, but still, feels like a risky move.
- At the same time, I really don't have the energy to be jumping through 100 hoops in the interview process once again, at least not for the time being.
- It might be a chance to give it a shot as an indie dev, I have some ideas I wanted to try out and it's one thing I could get excited about in tech.

TL;DR
I am probably burned out, looking for validation from anonymous people online to make a serious life decision, what could possibly go wrong.

Interesting, maybe terminal dependent, because it seems to work for me. Piping it to hd shows 7f coming out for <ctrl-?> and 1b for <ctrl-#>.

And it works for other things, like:

What percentage of CVEs in Chromium are caused by half-complete objects where a constructor throw would have prevented the issue? I certainly don't have an exhaustive view of things but no example is coming to mind right now. With [[noexcept]] everywhere I'd expect a constructor failing to just crash Chrome rather than proceed in some indeterminate state.

They are approximately as big of a risk as any other third-party code you install from the Web onto your machine (e.g. tools from dev SDKs).
Really? What did I miss? Do tell.
I think that the activation function definitely is important for this particular case, but it's not actually periodic; it saturates (with a configurable amount of leakyness) on both ends. The periodic behavior happens due to patterns in individual bits as you count up.

As for the encoding, I think it's a pretty normal way to encode binary inputs like this. Having the values be -1 and 1 is pretty common since it makes the data centered at 0 rather than 0.5 which can lead to better training results.
No, you don't have to give it a push. You just leave it hanging there and inertia and resonance do the rest.
We need more mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods, we need to resolve the housing crisis, we need to make it feasible for most people to live comfortably without a car if they so wish.

Car-centric lifestyles and other trends that were not the norm fifty or a hundred years ago have made it nigh impossible for probably most Americans to live the way you describe.

Those lifestyle bits strongly shaped by the public infrastructure, how work gets structured etc are even harder to talk about productively than diet or home healthcare. People feel helpless to change any of it, so saying something like "If America had cycling infrastructure like the Netherlands..." just more or less falls on deaf ears.

The way America used to eat healthy was "wife and mom" (aka homemaker) was the primary role for a lot of women. With two-income couples and other trends, that just isn't a pattern we can rely upon anymore.

There is a proliferation of products, like meal delivery services, to address this widespread crisis but we need to more explicitly recognize and grapple with some of the root causes and we don't seem to doing a great job of that.

> To use such a thing, where would I get downloadable DRM free music these days?

I usually do one of the following:

1) Purchase physical CDs from Amazon that include "AutoRip" on the description. This provides a DRM-free mp3 version of the album that you can download.

2) In the event that an AutoRip is not available, do the rip myself. I still have a USB CD/DVD drive that I plug-in to my laptop for this purpose, and a tiny VM to run Exact Audio Copy.

3) Finally, for purchasing digital music outright, there's always Bandcamp.

I suppose itunes is still around, too, but to be honest I've never used it.

Show HN: Turas.app for Collaborative Trip Planning
Over the New Year weekend, I was planning a trip with my wife on Google Docs and it became really frustrating trying to move days and activities around and figuring out which days we needed which hotels and trying to see which order of days/activities worked best for what we wanted to do. So I did what any weekend hacker does and ended up coding something.

Turas lets you:

- Collaboratively organize and plan your trips and easily reorganize days and places on your itinerary

- Quickly visualize how changing the start date changes the structure of your trip

- Visualize routes and paths between places on your itinerary and quickly load into Google Maps on the go

- Organize your checklists - packing list, pre-departure, and more

- Generate a text trip summary - perfect for sending in emails and text messages

- Create an inspiration board to capture your notes and ideas as you plan your adventure

If you'd like to see a short intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFx5fJUR53I

I admit, I ended up "rage building" Turas.app over that weekend out of frustration with Google Docs so I did not look into other options like Wanderlog; I just knew what my wife and I needed based on how we organize our multi-day trips.

Would love to get HN's feedback!
Yeah I did not mean a loop, repeated in the network.
the era you are describing had dozens and more, OS, hardware and software stacks.. Invention was ordinary. The massive user base today of a few platforms is the reverse situation.
To me this makes a lot of sense these days.

American tech workers are demanding full time remote positions at rates 4x-6x what some Indian workers are willing to work for. They’re educated, professional, and showing up with a good work ethic.

If a company is going through the hassle of remote workers, they might as well optimize your labor costs.

I wonder which type of Shell sort you were looking at. In my experience, it is fairly simple to implement gap sequence that is faster than O(n^2). Sure it is not a stable sort. But it is really simple (a few lines of code), doesn't use recursion, and is fairly fast. In fact, I'm not aware of an algorithm that is as simple as Shell sort, and at the same time much faster than O(n^2).
When I was in college, I had friends that would buy games for the computer and return them to Walmart when they finished them. TBH some of those games were a scam. You could finish them in six hours. I didn't feel sorry for Walmart in those cases.
This is an exageration. It comes in the packaging, it's just tape, and most of these places, especially Walmart and Amazon, have counters in stores you might have wanted to go to anyway to return them without packaging them right anyway. When you do a Amazon return it gives you like a month to do it in

The idea of finding another Earth is not so much about moving everyone from Earth to somewhere else, but rather about "backing up" our species and civilisation in additional places. If an asteroid is going to wipe out Earth, we can't evacuate 8 billion people, or even 8 million people. but if we had a few generations of colonists in domes on Mars, or floating in the clouds on Venus, or somewhere else, the species itself would hopefully survive.

We only have one Earth, and its the best home we could hope for. But we're crazy to keep all of our existential eggs in a single basket and hope it all works out.

> If we can make Mars habitable, we can make Earth habitable for far less cost.

That said, I absolutely love this sentence.

Although I would say, the technology we ultimately have to develop to survive on Mars or the moon will certainly help us keep Earth habitable.

Look at the history of aviation before it was a 5-sigma industry. The safety record was much worse.

If your point is that close calls will always outnumber the actual accidents, that’s like saying the number of doctor visits will outnumber the number of cancer diagnoses. Safety incidents are always a subset of a larger set that also contains close calls. By their nature, most safety incidents require multiple things to go wrong, which means there will be more times that some, but not all, things will go wrong to create a close call. It’s almost such a trivial point that it’s hardly salient enough to mention.

The main assumption is just that you have a single API domain. The fact that the frontend and API may be on different domains doesn't impact this recommendation.

If the API tries to set an HTTPS-only session cookie on api.example.com, the client/browser will simply forward cookie that on every request (including requests made on behalf of a user like a frontend calling fetch()). You can try this yourself, or see it happening in the Github example linked in the post.

If you had backend APIs supported by different domains (api1.example.com and api2.example.com), things do get more troublesome. You could still configure the cookie domain for .example.com, but then you're sending the session cookie along with any request to any example.com subdomain.
Sure. That's not the point. My hospital system built an urgent care clinic adjacent to the ER, at about the same time they renovated the ER.

They aren't separate to do patients any favors!

Any hospital built in the last 20 years that has a MOB on site probably has a pretty similar setup.

I think this is more to do with the way software ecosystems develop in general. You don't need to know much about the actual implementation of databases or low-level programming to build a data-heavy application, and you don't need to know the complexities of graphics programming to render complex visuals to a screen.

If you want to do research in any branch of ML, you are almost certainly going to need some strong mathematical foundations. At the same time, if you're more interested in applying existing architectures/models, the ecosystem has a lot of really amazing tools that will take you a very long way without requiring you to study statistical learning theory.

I agree with your points - though I think you're underselling the "even if it seems scary" bit.

I love your bathroom example, because it speaks to the same need as the "car commute solo space". You say:

> it is conceivable that I could have just gathered everyone and made some agreements about what we all need, including sometimes privacy and quiet

And the same is be true of me (having small children too), and of the aforementioned commuters. We could. But, for some reason, we don't. Can't explain it, but the very idea feels truly scary. That's why the comment upthread resonated so well with me - I don't drive, but I understand striving to get "solo time" in a way that doesn't have to be justified directly, but instead is a plausibly deniable side effect of some external necessity (like having to commute to work).
