Are you tired of the limitations and inconvenience of the AZERTY keyboard layout when trying to type in French? Introducing QWERTY-fr, the ultimate keyboard layout for French and English language users! This layout is based on the widely used QWERTY layout, but with added symbols and diacritics to make typing in French easy and fast. Plus, it's easy to learn! With QWERTY-fr, you'll no longer have to rely on autocorrect to fix the shortcomings of AZERTY.

QWERTY-fr also eliminates the frustrating letter swaps and shuffled symbols of AZERTY, making software shortcuts and remapping a thing of the past. Plus, you'll be able to type special characters like "É" and "Ç" with ease.

Our layout follows a strict superset of the QWERTY layout, meaning all keys are in the same location, so QWERTY users can easily transition to QWERTY-fr. To type special characters with diacritics, there are simple rules to follow. AltGr corresponds to Option on macOS and Ctrl Alt on Windows. With AltGr and the corresponding letter, you can type characters like the grave accent, acute accent, circumflex, diaeresis, cedilla, and ligature.

So why settle for the limitations of AZERTY when you can have the best of both worlds with QWERTY-fr? Try it out online without installing it and join our Telegram community to discuss and provide feedback with other users. Don't miss out on this game-changing keyboard layout!

Arguably it still is spam, and consider the incentive to hide advertising (or generally to push any agenda), when using a program is orders of magnitude cheaper than paying people to do it, but now is hard enough to recognize, I cannot say any more whether your average hn comment has been written by ChatGPT or not as long as I am not specifically looking out for it.
I don’t remember the name and I don’t remember if it is tokio or something else. However, I did find this: https://docs.rs/genserver/latest/genserver/

I will keep looking. Keep in mind, BEAM uses a preemptive actor rather than async, so it avoids the “storms” that can happen when an async reactor runs out of resources. EDIT: but I guess Tokio is capable of preemption through work-stealing too?
For logic trader, remember to factor in slippage and market depth.
Even when no direct claims about consciousness are being made, that is not stopping people from behaving as if they are conscious programs.

I think we're seeing this playing out in discussions about generative AI with people justifying certain behaviors regarding the use of artist's data in training models by comparing the program to a human going through the process of "learning" and "gaining inspiration" from the work of others. Some people seem fully convinced that what these programs are doing is equivalent to human behavior to a degree that would qualify the program to receive human-like considerations, i.e. treating the software like an entity instead of just a program/tool to be wielded by the end-user.

I think this is one of the most pernicious issues, and people seem to have a hard time recognizing the trap they've fallen into.

I think this is also an outcome of this software being sufficiently complex to be too hard to understand without investing time and effort in understanding it.

I think this results in the mis-attribution of intelligence when instead it's just a really clever piece of software. But the casual commenter cannot estimate the gap between "pretty clever" and "so complex that it's actual intelligence".

Indeed. This is the classic hole in the economics argument about market forces. You can easily set up a game theory model of the prisoner's dilemma with many players, in which the payoff from deviating is so small that "everyone colludes" becomes a stable equilibrium.

Can't stress this enough. Show up, attend to patients as scheduled then go home and enjoy life. All the boring details are taken care of. It's definitely more profitable to start one's own practice but the comfort of working at such places should not be underestimated.
Interac e-Transfer is Canada's funds transfer system that allows users to send money via email or text message. Upon receiving a fund transfer, receiving party would normally log into the bank account to receive the money. The receiving party also has the option to register their email/sms so that the money is deposited automatically, and this option touted as more secured in the event that the email is compromised.

Therefore, if the money was indeed sent through e-Transfer, then it is possible that the Couple received the compensation without any positive action. I am not sure if one could make the argument that the onus is on the Couple to actively reject the compensation and reverse the transfer.
And many of the officers we do have are woefully under-trained, and lack the strict psychological screening required in other parts of the world. This can likely be pinned on the fact that we under-pay our police, selecting for candidates who have alternative motives.

There's no way any future US bullet train could hit 200 mph through the Sierra Nevada and Rocky mountain ranges unless we bore tunnels straight through.

Transcontinental bullet trains across North America are a total pipe dream just based on simple geography. But bullet trains should play a role in our regional transportation infrastructure.
So is irrational exuberance.

Golden Squirrel: goldensquirrel.io

Premise: Get all the upfront information you need to know as a software engineer before applying to a job. Accompanying podcast called "Chasing Squirrels".

Price: $0 (implementing stripe next to charge employers for job posts)

Cost to me: $500/mo in SaaS fees + podcast related fees

Why do it? I became frustrated with how hard it is to find information about the engineer you'll actually be working for at the job, which is one of the biggest if not the biggest factor in looking at new roles. I wanted to de-risk the hiring process for devs by providing as much info upfront about the compensation, role, what they'd be working on, etc so I started with the podcast and just build the job board recently.
I built a tool for predicting the outcome of matchups in Yahoo Fantasy Hockey (head-to-head category based leagues). I find it helpful for determining what categories to focus on when picking up streamers/free agents. https://fantasyhockey.fly.dev/

Also, I've seen a few budgeting apps on here. I didn't build Budget with Buckets[1], but I do think it's a great YNAB alternative _except_ that there is no mobile app. So I built a web app that can be used on mobile. https://buckets.goatcounter.com/

Thankfully appliance makers tend to use mostly standard parts. A given pump for example would fit in a dozen different brands of washing machines.

I can't stress enough how glad I am to have discovered north.pl as they're a rock-solid supplier of every goddamn appliance part in existence. Wonder what the equivalent is for other countries.
I have around 20 years do all the SEO stuff that is righfully hated and for years now I have been both excited and dread the public availability of simple to use AI.

My worry was it would completly destroy the SEO industry and indeed, SEO itself.

The kind of things I do (building thousands of content sites to feed a master money site) are super niche and require millions to get into the game, all it will take is a handfull of non droped high authority domains from auction and a decent server to churn out crap, scale that on a few hundred domains and it is game over.
Except you still need to run and deploy your Erlang app somewhere which might end up on Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is just better than Erlang for process managment because it does more and is completely language agnostic, imagine you can't build some part of your system in Erlang but you need the same kind of functionality what do you do?
Alembic is great. It will generate most schema changes from your updated models' code. I even use it programmatically in one app, to automatically migrate the SQLite database on the user's machine, and it has been extremely reliable.

You're ignoring the political reality that people want cars, not public transportation unfortunately.
Yes, using aria attributes does help, but most of the older sites we're trying to make accessible don't have these. Most of the time its a simple coding fix to add these though.

The other issue is the placement of the menu in the upper right or left hand corner is nearly impossible to find with TalkBack or VoiceOver controls. Sometimes even with aria attributes, you really have to search with your finger to find the menu and interact with it.
This is great! Can you use the same tech to do for podcasts/audio?

> anyone who has looked into the evidence around nootropics can tell you that pretty much nobody wants to study that

There's a class of areas where lots of non-experts are interested, but doing studies large enough to detect modest effect sizes with high confidence is too expensive. Nutrition can do either large survey studies, or small controlled experiments. Exercise researchers often have to work with a small number of untrained participants. I would love a citizen science platform for large studies of low-risk interventions operated like a multi-armed bandit setup. "Oh, you're interested improving working memory? Follow regimen X for 90 days and do this working memory test every week." I feel like the hardest parts are getting participants to adhere to their assigned intervention, and preventing participants with a pre-existing agenda from joining.
Calibre is an e-book management and viewer and editor app with numerous features. Foliate is a minimal (design-wise) viewer with an elementary library. If Calibre works for you then you shouldn't because they aren't really comparable.

No, it’s even in the name of the feature. Activation Lock.

It is to stop devices being stolen, wiped and re-sold. It is an attempt to allow the legal owner of the device the ability to control who can use it, rather than the possessor of the device having full control who can use it.

Its only purpose is to protect the use of the device by people removing all the software (erasing back to factory defaults) and taking control of the physical device that way.

This is just a joke, but it might make some of you smile.

In seventh grade my English teacher had our class write Shakespearean insults and then battle each other in a Bracket of Dis.

With all the talk of GPT-3 ghost writing kids' homework, I figured someone eventually needed to make the Shakespearean Insult Generator.

The comparison to "free lunch" doesn't really make sense. The phrase "free lunch" has been used for what it transparently means since forever.

Nobody used the term "open source" before it was deliberately invented. There was plenty of software in the 80s and 90s that we could retroactively call "open source," but nobody used that phrase at the time. The phrase "open source" was specifically created in 1998 because the term then in common use, "free software," was too generic and people were confused about what it meant. So a new term was created for the express purpose to have a term with no prior meaning so that a specific meaning could be assigned to it.

You seem to think that because "open source" is a phrase you see a lot, it's a generic phrase that was always used informally and grew out of natural language. But that's not the case. It's a term of art that was artificially created with a specific meaning.
I've been listening for about 30 minutes and it's pretty neat, I've already found some new music I like. However, the weather forecast told me it was 275° F.
I'm disappointed there wasn't a specific entry for "sat on a beach in Hawaii on Christmas vacation having a 3-way email with the CEO of my startup (who is sitting on a beach in Tahiti) and an AWS contract person to finalize the signing of a 3-year multi-million dollar contract". That's what I did.
Unless code is exiting the BEAM itself, an infinite loop that bypasses yield points shouldn't be possible.

Doing this at such a granular level is also one of the reasons that you can run a database that thousands of processes are accessing, within the same runtime, without a performance impact to the overall system.

I hastily connected google auth and seemed to choose the minimum of data. I'll see if I can use just email (I definitely don't need anything else). I need auth to limit the use, otherwise I could wake up bankrupt one day :)
Unfortunately, having watched so many mass-input rating systems fail by being gamed, I suspect that this strategy might only really work well if the reinforcement model was built and maintained independently for each user...which seems like an approach that could be very effective but which would be more difficult and likely costly to scale.
In light of all possible e-waste, and waste, this pales in comparison while giving the users a lot of power. In my opinion, it is an acceptable trade off.

Alternatively, the machines can become donor boards instead of e-waste.
I really doubt any clinician would say the full name when breaking the news. They'd probably just abbreviate it.
At this point I just default to Ali. I can pay with Apple Pay so I don’t have to provide them with credit cards and I don’t mind the wait. You get the same product either way.

> Component level repair is generally impractical, as replacement boards are usually available at reasonable cost.

That has not been my experience. A power relay for oven elements blew on the main PCB of a very basic Kenmore oven I had. Very simple PCB, large TH components. I was quoted 300$ for a replacement PCB, which was more than the oven was worth at that point. I ended up having to solder in a new relay I was able to find online (in minimum 10X quantity).
For US domestic travelers, check a firearm and see how much more attention is paid to your luggage. Some airports will have someone come out at baggage claim with your bag/firearm case and check your ID before handing it over.
Actually it appears that the more police you have the more misdemeanor arrests result, but this does not impact the clearance rate for violent felonies. In other words you get more hall monitors but not necessarily more detectives.

Yeah, this was the situation, that I had agreed when I was hired to sign the agreement when I left. The issue was just that the summary of what I "had agreed to" when I was hired that was presented in the termination agreement wasn't actually what I had agreed to when I was hired.

I was leaving of my own accord, so no severance involved, which was why I told them I was happy to stand by the terms I'd already agreed to, including signing the termination agreement, but I wouldn't be signing a document that contained new terms.
Why not though? To me it sounds dogmatic to make such pronouncements without any evidence. Just because nobody has come up with a formula for something doesn't make it unreal. Phenomena exist outside of our small rationally circumscribed model of the world. Homo sapiens has adapted to a incredible variety of environments, we've pushed ourselves way outside our comfort zone and accumulated and enormous amount of changes in a short period of time. It makes sense that we've accumulated more "genetic experience" this way, that we've grown further than other species. This is how most people use the word "evolved", seems fair enough to me.

They used surrounding states as a control. They tried hard to account for the consequences, but that pesky 40% drop in gonorrhea and 30% drop in rapes (!) just wouldn't go away (and also doesn't fit the feminist narrative that rape is "only about power")
The combination of the physical/audible depiction of art + the human artist's biographical experience, together, makes a form of art that cannot be replicated. (That is, until we have sentient AI - and at that point, is its lived experience any less valid?)

There's debate here, of course, about the "death of the author" [0] and whether work should exist independent of its author's intentions and intentionality - but perhaps our social understanding of that question will evolve, at least for works created after the AI explosion.

As a crude example that buoys me somewhat, there are numerous virtual youtubers who one might discount as avatars of a corporate music product - but their fans love them not only for their musical works in isolation, but for the personality and personal journey that the character (and, by extension, their voice actor, as the lines fade quite quickly) streams to the world, baring a pseudonymized version of their lives for all to see. There's real human intent and struggle and perseverance there, and it's appreciated, and that's really cool. Even if the human is hidden, the humanity shines through.
