I had the same suboptimal experience with Speechify. Did not renew.

There are text extraction utilities for PDFs which reconstitute paragraphs and whatnot. Seems like an obvious thing to do. I suggested it, but didn't hear back.

I imagine that PDF munging skills aren't common and a solo developer doesn't have the bandwidth to be smart about so many different techs.
Also the fact that it keeps proving to be an actually good plane by all standards with a price tag that's not all that higher than its competitors stuck with a full generation older design and all the downsides that brings.

And augmented by the fact that a large chunk of Europe is going to be operating the same plane, driving down maintenance costs, sharing maintenance knowledge, reducing interoperability issues and ensuring that spare parts will be available.

You surely do not need to go back two generations to get shrieked out of a room. Just dip back ~10 - 15 years into mainstream Democrat positioning.
Yeah, it seems the "transparent" is not a very good idea in the end.
I made a basic 2MiB page allocator recently, I know I will add explicit 1GiB/512GiB(4-levels page tables) somewhen in the future. But since it is rare, I may go "brutal" with 2MiB pages continuity scanning at allocation time, the alignment constraint lighten a lot that scanning.
It's interesting to consider that Japanese's relatively low number of discrete phonemes might result in a relatively high number of homophones, but if a preponderance of homophones is the problem, wouldn't listening to spoken Japanese be just as hard as reading hiragana?

The 1987 Brazilian accident in Goiânia was horrendous because the caesium-137 capsule was breached and there was widespread contamination by radioactive dust. I get chilled to the bone when I read the descriptions of people innocently playing with the curious glow-in-the-dark dust as a novelty, showing to their neighbors and friends.
Netflix plans to end account sharing revealed
It actually could work pretty well. A Geiger counter is essentially a current gain device. Ionizing radiation passes through the chamber and excites free electrons which travel towards high voltage plates. The gain comes when the drifting positive ions collide with other gas particles and knock additional electrons free, starting the process again.

Rad source goes missing? Current stops flowing in the GC. HV power failure? Current stops flowing. GC falls out of the vehicle? Current stops flowing.

In any of these cases, you make the system shout an annoying beep that everyone within 250m of the vehicle can hear and somebody checks on it.
Yeah this mirrors my experiences.

I, too, find the file cache to be significant performance impediment on high-RAM systems. Worse, its behaviour is non-deterministic (or at least hard to reason about.)

It leads to page table fragmentation and that is the ultimate performance destroyer. Huge page tables are a godsend in this case, but you do need a program that is properly optimised to handle them properly. At least most RDBMS do this reasonably well.
Having recently learned about their pretty ambitious emissions targets I disagree with you.

I think they are strongly responding to a shift in higher demand for carbon neutral materials with their big clients. I read about a sustainability labelling of Aluminium using Blockchain technology and it sounds like they're quite invested in green tech...a flip from the mining companies of yore

Swiss Ad for national alarm test
Every year, on the first Wednesday in February, all sirens across Switzerland are tested. The public is notified beforehand through announcements on the radio, on TV and in the press. The general public is not required to respond in a particular way or take protective measures, but simply requested in advance to excuse the inconvenience caused by the noise of the sirens.

I think the ad is very funny, also it might be of interest to other people.

Show HN: Using Google Sheets to manage localization strings across platforms
As an app developer, I noticed that smaller teams frequently run into the hassles of managing translation strings across iOS, Android and web, and keeping them in sync and up to date.

To make this a little easier I've been working on a small utility that allows you to use Google Sheets to manage these translations. Perfect for small teams that do not need any of the advanced features that paid platforms offer, but still want to have an easy to use centralised place to edit these strings.

Without creating any account or whatsoever, you can use the Localeasy endpoint to convert your sheet into translations files for multiple platforms: iOS/macOS, Android, Rails, JSON, or YAML.

I would love to hear your feedback!
They're generation older (with everything that means for their sensor suite, pilot workload and situational awarness) and won't have all the benefits of sharing the same platform with the rest of the Europe.
Absolutely, but that is what makes the relevancy of the fact interesting. If you could load my brain into Python, would it then become copyright infringement, despite the content being logically unchanged?

If not, I highly recommend you do that. It helped me a lot in understanding some fundamentals. My kid is 4 years old now.

As a general advice, I'd say no matter how you approach it, don't be too hard on yourself or your kids. There will be times when you'll have no time for your kids. And that is fine. Just be fully present whenever you're with them. When kids grow up, they remember specific moments and events with their parents that shape their thinking.

All the best!
> That’s just the original source of beta particles being spread around rather than the beta radiation “spreading” in some way

OK, fair point. We should use phrases like "spreading radioactivity" or "spreading radioactive contamination"?

If the wording is corrected, the original point does still apply. You really wouldn't want a radioactive source stuck in your vehicle's tyre.
Sadly, Spotify is both hurting the podcast ecosystem AND a crappy podcast player -- much worse than PocketCasts, OverCast, or even Apple Podcasts if I'm being honest.

It's like the executives decided to force podcasts into a music player. All the podcast value adds like gap trimming, adjustable playback speed, slight rewind on restarts that last longer than a few seconds... they've omitted.

Not necessarily. Without JS some sites would be horrible to use. I don't even know if it is possible to submit a form without reloading the page. It probably is by now but a lot of basic functionality either needs JS, very complex server-side rendering or url resource structure.

And server side rendering can be as ugly, it is just less visible. We can be really lucky that there is a universal language on the client side for web browsers. Even if it is often abused, it is very much worth it.

Maybe not the most elegant language, but probably one of the fasted to develop with.
I use Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. Dropbox has faster and more stable sync and better Linux support. For many that is enough to pay for.
I don’t think the risk/reward works out here. Lots of people had knowledge of the search; if any one of them goes to the press, then a minor public embarrassment becomes a career-ender, at best. Public agencies leak too much for this sort of thing. Not to mention that they could have just not announced the loss if they wanted to hide it.
Because credit is free and $5 is not free, I guess.
When I search for "Folding blade" and blade length "0-3 in", I only get 7 results from your site. A similar search on BladeHQ gets me 12,000+ results.

I think you have too few knives labeled as folding -- I don't see any Spydercos or Kershaws that come back with the folding checkbox, and only a few CRKTs. A quick fix might be to hide the folding checkbox.

You sure? iirc they were just "stackless" threads with true cooperative switching (so like a true context switch by changing PC but not having to switch SP and keep multiple stacks).

If you would be right I could stop being salty about something I have ever been salty since 15 years or so: I "invented" (no not really, people did this before, but in the context of the raising meshed tiny sensor network hype at that time) in my thesis, then a researcher with connections to SICS took that with him and to this group, and half a year later Contiki appeared with the same approach (just more polished and a much better PR to contend with the much uglier TinyOS).

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information about a specific person that you claim "got away with murder." The assertion that someone has "gotten away with murder" is a serious charge and should be supported by credible evidence. Accusations of criminal behavior should not be made without evidence, as they can harm an individual's reputation and be damaging to their personal and professional lives.
The Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen, etc. are not comparable to the F-35. The F-35, beyond being a purpose-built stealth jet, is almost as much an electronic warfare platform as it is traditional multirole fighter. The tech is as much on sale as the ability to fly is; 35's software, sensor suite, etc. is famously advanced. Neither can really be substituted for the other; the US' own A-10 and F-15/16 modernization projects failing to really keep pace demonstrate this. This is why SaaB had to throw in two GlobalEye AWACS platforms with their offer of 64 Gripens to match LM's 64 F-35s (and Boeing's 14 EA-18Gs with their 50 FA-18Fs).

Finland pretty much knew who would win the testing when they selected their definition of success, ignoring the unexpected (which to be fair did eliminate two competitors); either you want the traditional fighter model with inherent low cost and you go with Gripen, or you want in on the F-35's technology platform and true multirole capability (higher payload) and you politically bully LM into delivering you a reasonable price cut (probably on the basis of US jobs in the short term, I'd guess), like the article seems to describe. And frankly, good on the Finns for doing it.
I think the response is pretty reasonable. Fines/punishments from regulators internalise externalities and disincentivise antisocial behaviour.

If Rio just writes off the fine without improving its processes in tandem then it could make sense for the regulator to intervene further, but in either case Rio should be on the hook for damages rather than WA taxpayers.

Root: Analyzing Petabytes of Scientific Data
I am not a fan of llvm, but this work is a good statement, I wish rust would do the same with a rust-written compiler... and gcc. The problem, is when I will want to compile a linux kernel, I better have, you know _that_ brand new compiler extension, or new ISO tantrum (the worst is automatic contextual type I think) to compile it.

For the ELF64 static builds, carefull of those pesky relocations...
I've never used streaming services and likely never will for the reasons often raised in these threads.

I've gone completely digital in my collection and store this as named and tagged files in a folder, backed up in the usual way.

I don't listen to the collection directly, I use the Mixx dj software to create "mixtape" files which are what I play on a phone or at home. I name the mix files by date and genre and just copy a bunch around as needed. Sometimes it's just a whole album played through, sometimes I actually giving mixing tracks a go where appropriate. It's fun, they work offline, but it takes a bunch of time. I consider it a hobby, but it's generally time spent listening rather than noodling with software so there's that.

Right, and followed with a fairly archaic assumption that remote workers are inherently less productive.

Take a look at Twitter on pride month, even Raytheon changes their logo to a rainbow version. That stuff is so mainstream it hurts. It's a counterculture in Saudi Arabia where the logos don't change and they throw gay people off of buildings, but in the US/Europe it's part of the dominant culture.
turkey knows they are in a position to extract more concessions out of sweden (and the US). Sweden wants to be in NATO more than NATO truly need sweden, and turkey knows it.

Eventually turkey will concede, but not before squeezing every drop of advantage they can obtain. It doesn't really matter who's at the top in turkey - the incentive dictates the behaviour.
Hello from your northern neighbour, Lithuania.
ok, where do I voice my concern?
And there the typical 35 year aggressive attitude I have to deal with daily. Your joking right in thinking that no communication is loss via email? Team, zoom meetings take away facial expressions and as someone with social blindness it makes my job harder to engage. Why so hostile?

As from what I see the culture here, the prosperity that they give has been one of the I best fitted environments I've worked in. Very surprised especially for the industry. So no its not companies issue, its not a "ME" problem. Its a person issue, professional behaviour slips, people get sloppy.

I don't want to divide work with pleasure. Why should I, so you can stay home with your dog? I want to come home and know for certain there is no essence of work present. Sometimes I need that complete downtime just to recover. Let my guard down without having to create some divide.

At this point its moot. You have your view and I have mine. You won't consider from my perspective and I understand yours and the WFH perspective.

Its always "WFH is amazing" when no one takes in to account that it doesn't work for others. Its a change that needs to happen, it does give benefits and it sounds like it does for you. Good.

But my benefits are working in the office. Why is that hard to comprehend. I'm a SysAdmin and like being on premises of the hardware then a software developer like yourself (according to your profile).
Why do you think that all these different DEs exists? Because all those people that currently work on all those different DEs wouldn't be able to agree on anything if they were all working on the same DE. Lets also not forget about the mythical man month.
You're spot on. One big ones you missed is the cost savings of not needing an office.

Years before covid, I pushed my company out of an office to full remote for many of the reasons you listed. It allowed us to keep a few great employees who wanted to live elsewhere, and save substantial money on office space (which matters a lot for a small company). At the time Slack had just become big and we embraced the async, transparent communication style fully.

Early on one of the other owners asked me, 'if no one is in the office how do we know they are working?', and I responded 'how do we know they are working now?' That's when he 'got' it. We had never relied butts in seats, but it can still be a little scary going into an unknown.

Remote/in-person both have unique challenges, they are just different. After years of remote, I think the advantages outweigh the challenges vs in-person.

The first part of this is fine, but the last sentence is not. Confidence can be extremely useful in AI. Is the “accuracy confidence” metric you’re using right every time? No. But using the correct techniques you can create a confidence metric that takes a model with high accuracy (~99%) and couple with a confidence score that is oftentimes right and tuned to specifically flare up when the 1% of bad results come in, and you can be looking at a model that increases its overall prediction capability by an order of magnitude or two. Confidence is a huge part of usable AI.

My example was more about EU bureaucrats looking for something else than rule-of-law and democracy and whatnot :)

As for exactly self-governance, IMO earmarked funding is the worst example. There're lots and lots of dumb investments that were made only to take „EU money“ (because somehow it's too hard for people to contact that it's our taxes). And other areas were neglected because there was no „EU money“ to take.

Watchtowers may be one of most in-your-face examples :)

Trying to assess the performance of the engineering team with the money the
company generated

But is that wrong? And if so, why? We're hired, as engineers, so that the business can make money. Insofar as our excellent engineering makes the business money, it is valuable. When David Hennemeier Hanson wrote the Rails framework for Ruby, his justification for using it was not that it was more elegant than Java, although it certainly was. It was that his convention over configuration approach allowed small teams of developers to launch websites quickly, by having the framework assume that they were doing things in "sensible" ways.

would lead you to use let's say crappy php web framework
everywhere

Maybe we should use more "boring" technology like PHP and Java. Has the continued replacement of Java with PHP, PHP with Rails, Rails with Node.js actually benefited our customers? Or has it benefited programmers' desire for novelty at the expense of our customers? At work, one of my co-workers proposed writing a new front-end component in Vue.js, rather than React, because React was "old" and "showing its limitations". I pushed back, arguing that all the rest of our code was in React, and I wasn't sure that he'd necessarily made the case for Vue providing tangible improvements in maintainability or speed of development. We went back and forth, but in the end he won out, and now we have a bit of Vue in our codebase. Has this improved anything for anyone, other than the programmer who now gets to say on his resume that he's implemented production code in Vue.js?

EDIT: That's not to say that I'm against all innovation. There are certain classes of innovation that have definitely brought tangible improvements in the speed of development and reliability of the software developed. Memory management is a big one. Going from (legacy) C++ to Java is a huge step forward, just by freeing the programmer from having to worry about the most common sources of memory leaks. Likewise, strong type systems are another advance, that is just coming into the mainstream with Rust (and, to a lesser extent, Typescript). Lisp-like languages (although little used) offer another step forward in productivity by allowing the programmer to write functions that can inspect the internals of other functions as data.

But I feel like that's a different category of thing than trying to argue the merits of React versus Vue or Python versus Javascript.
Yes, that's my question.

My theory is that it's a vibe of incompetent technical leads who read too much tech twitter bubble. Since every thing is javascript there.

There are numbers of really good business that's PHP based. Rails has established business like Github or Shopify. Who uses nodejs as a core engine for their services?
