Although they are in general quite bad, in my local area they are surprisingly good - for one reason - that specific delivery driver has significant local knowledge.

Getting the right staff in the right place sometimes makes a big difference.
I've experimented with a few approaches and to be honest, kind of gone with what "felt best" as we're quite artisanal with our testing approach at the moment.

We try to always go for logical breakpoints (e.g. never in the middle of a sentence or explanation). Some docs are cut into smaller chunks because the way they're written works quite well for segmentation, and smaller chunks have the advantage of allowing more to be looked-up, so your semantic search is allowed to mess up as long as it finds 1-2 relevant context elements. For some, we felt like cutting into chunk was losing too much information, so we've added them as quite huge chunks. It feels suboptimal in some ways, especially in terms of performance and modularity, but we've also found that the model is very good at parsing a ±2k token length sample and getting the right info from it in most cases.

Ultimately there's no right answer and it's a case-by-case tradeoff.
Both sides have essentially untouchable radars. The Ukrainians have so far avoided shooting at Russian planes flying much beyond the Ukrainian border, and Russia has the Beriev A-100.
Good Q. :) I think its normal. "Office Space" should be compulsory viewing if you haven't already seen it. ;) Many things that are fun, become not fun when you have to do them for a living , with pressure, deadlines, workplace politics. Its by no means limited to software. Plenty of musicians , who you'd think have a dream job, loathe it as a job while loving it as a hobby. Another one is teaching, meant to be the number 1 most satisfying activity so should be number 1 job, but lots of BS gets in the way. Software pays enough that its considered a first-world problem to be unhappy at work, and people think we all make big bucks, so, you'll get a sympathetic response on HN, but perhaps be careful mentioning such thoughts to anyone working a minimum wage job.
And in Ukraine, the life expectancy of anything flying above treetop has been very very low (admittedly F35 would fare better than its competitors here).
It's fixed now, so apparently those who agree are in a slight majority.
The French proposal was intended as an incentive to make nuclear policy evolve and think about common European interests, and wasn't really meant to be practical. As you state, it would require to change German constitutional law. It also reflects France's position as a nuclear power that doesn't partake in US-NATO nuclear planning and sharing (this in turn would be unacceptable to the French political class and public opinion).

I think the German acquisition of F-35s is a bit subtle.
The Luftwaffe always wanted to buy F-35. I suspect they stalled the subject of the Eurofighter nuclear certification (which would take a good ten years) to force the German government to buy F-35s to keep its commitment to nuclear sharing. The whole thing happened at a time where the ministry of defence seemed disorganized and plagued by scandals. To be coherent with the Eurofighter policy, nuclear certification should have been a top priority ten years ago...

The relationship between the German government, the Luftwaffe, the US industry (and Lockheed...) and the German aerospatial industry has always been complex, and Germany has often been keen to use allied programs to avoid internal defense industry problems, with more or less success. See the Starfighter article on Wikipedia for the most egregious example.

With the German industry stalling the French-German-Spanish fighter project, I also suspect that they'll plan a similar manoeuver with the Eurofighter replacement.
The Commission isn't elected.
Is that actually true? Yes people now have less kids, but are they really having adventures more in some large numbers?

I mean, there are regular outrages here over people living frugal - not buying cars, living with parents, generally having less, having massively larger college debt to pay. It is combined with outrage over them not buying this or that subscription someone is pushing. Bycicle transport is cheaper then car and is money saving move for people living at right place too. People watch Netflix rather them going ro movie theater and pay for tickets + popcorn.

They do tons of money saving choices, get blamed for them. And then they get blame for buying anything that did not existed 30 years ago.

There is no epidemic of expensive avocado toasts being bought out in large numbers.
You’re getting downvoted but the Javelins have been pretty underwhelming. The domestic Kamikaze drones Russia is using have proven cheaper, safer and more effective.
I'm usually following a few steps. But in general, you need to spend some time with the project to be able to contribute.

1. Start learning about the project from user perspective. Try the most common use cases. Do tutorials, and read the documentation.

2. Download the code, build it, and run the project locally.

3. When you have the project running locally walk over the code of the most common use cases. To find the right code search for text from the UI, names of the API calls, or just add breakpoints at multiple places and see which one is hit.

4. Go over the code with the debugger and try to understand what's going on.

5. But don't spend a lot of time just aimlessly browsing the code. Only familiarize yourself a little with it and verify that your setup works, debugger is debugging, etc.

5. Choose some bug from an issue tracker and try to reproduce it locally.

6. Try to fix the bug.
"Why do you think GDPR is some boomer with filofaxes thing?"

I handle the GDPR compliance for my company so I've had to get stuck into the topic. Once you start actually trying to apply the various definitions and rules to the real world, they quickly break down. Examples:

1. The core concept in GDPR, personal data, is defined sloppily: "data relating to an identifiable natural person". It doesn't work because "relating to" is a hand-wave. Your name is obviously personal data, but (according to mainstream legal interpretation) so are IP addresses, despite the fact that people do not have IP addresses, network interfaces do.

2. Personal data is not defined in terms of the context in which it appears, which is crucially important. If I have the text "John Smith" in a database in a column called "name" and it actually relates to a person called "John Smith", that's clearly personal data. But what if someone uses my platform to spin up a VM with the hostname "johnsmith" - is that personal data? According to my lawyers, the answer is "maybe". I know lawyers have a tendency to be like that, but the law itself shouldn't leave the question open.

3. The construction of the law is poorly thought-out and leads to silly contradictions, e.g. if you have someone's personal data and you are told to stop processing it, you must stop processing it. But storage, erasure and transmission are all classed as processing, and it's logically impossible not to do at least one of these things.

All that being said, I'll repeat that I fully agree with GDPR's objectives and I think its real-world impact is positive. I just wish more people who understand how computers work had been involved in drafting it.

EDIT: embarrassing punctuation mistake.

The same effect on Dalle-2.
I don't think your experience is uncommon, I agree that the vast majority of code out there isn't very clear. That being said, you have found code which was clear without comments, so clearly you do have an idea of what clear code without comments means.

Regarding why I don't think that clear code should have comments, it's very simple, comments are not type checked or syntax checked or even tested (unless, I guess, you hire someone to read them). It's very hard to ensure that over time comments don't deteriorate and become unhelpful. This is a much larger maintenance burden than the maintenance of clear code itself.

I think a lot of the issue boils down to people assuming that because all the code they've ever read was unclear, that code itself is inherently unclear.

Good. Life doesn't just consist of working, no matter what employers are telling us. 4 day work weeks should be the norm - and no, not 4x10 hours, rather 4x8 hours max.
The German public cares, US nukes are kind of an accepted, and mostky ignored reality. French nukes would wake up the public. The big party that cares about US nukes on non-US planes, e.g. Eurofighter, is the Pentagon. As they have to certify the aircraft, they are a lot less eager to do that fast or at all. Because the Pentagon prefers NATO nations, or any other allied nation, to buy the F-35 over other models.

And the French, which excluded their nukes from NATO oversight, might actually be reluctant to share them with Germany. Using Rafales insteads of Eurofoghters might helo, but then Germany is in the same position it is with the F-35. With the added "benefit" of a potentially hurtful public debate.
Weirdly enough I love instant black but don't have so much love of espresso.

It's arguably still democratic in that each country, through its EU commissioner, gets one vote and the power to veto unless they've given up that veto for a specific issue which is done at a summit of all the national leaders of EU countries by signing a further treaty. If a country doesn't like what is happening they tell their elected national government to do something about it then the commissioner acts on the instructions received from the national government. Going from admittedly hazy memory from back in 2016, commissioners have a fixed term, I believe, and a national government can recall their commissioner if they are not doing what they are told. I think the EU parliament can also veto legislation proposed by the EU commission, but cannot create its own legislation.

The things the EU commission can legislate are restricted by treaty, I've no idea what these restrictions are something I suspect that I share with 99.999% of people in this thread.

So I would argue that the EU commission is less democratic than a directly elected EU parliament with the power to create any legislation it wants, but more democratic than say the House of Lords in the UK or the Supreme Court in the US where members are chosen by the elected government and can only be removed if they die, resign or commit some kind of heinous crime.
It is still good to place (organizational) blame and fines on such a thing, otherwise it's financially the most attractive option to take inappropriate risks.

So this might be tricky, but seeing as there are different laws about carrying knifes, it might be a good idea to start to collect laws by jurisdictions, so that users do not end up wanting what they cannot legal have.
The Geiger counter doesn't have to be in the truck. It can even be integrated with the equipment being carried, so it can raise the alarm no matter where it is, as long as it has battery.

It could even use a low power solid state sensor since the radioactivity is so strong, and when it detects radiation, start dead reckoning until it gets a GPS lock, so you could potentially still get good info with a coin cell level device, although you'd want more, because ideally you'd have a satellite signal.

I wonder if there's any way to use the EPIRB satellites for that, or if the data is too limited to add a "Watch out, there's nuclear stuff here, this isn't a stranded hiker" flag?

Sure that's all well and true, though you somehow missed the part where web3 fits the "bullshit that can produce hype" description perfectly. What separates your app from thousands others that pretend to do something profound but end up rugpulling in a few months? I suppose the part where you actually need to get people's money before running away with it...

The entire industry is so tainted by bad actors that only complete hacks are still interested in doing anything in it, which will only continue to reduce the percentage of legit projects until there are none at all.

> Seems you can just download open source software and use it without buying any tokens… and even if you did buy tokens, where is the ponzi?

All crypto fundamentally works on the principle. Prices are based on popularity and demand alone, or hype as you call it. There's nothing of actual value there. Just because you're a side participant doesn't make it any less that. Like buying a Herbalife drink or something.

> Many startups are “almost” ponzi schemes

That's entirely correct, and so is most of the stock market (non-dividend paying stocks) and practically all pension systems worldwide pretty much. It's all an unsustainable trainwreck in the long run.
All the references I found just referred the auto-bracketing (I.e. shooting the the images with different exposure) but I can't find any mention of in-camera composition of the final hdr - all sources just tell you to use an external software for the HDR composition.

I'll argue it's not and that the better alternative would be to have your own chosen days off.

I've just started a new job for an enterprise company. It is proving insanely hard getting in contact with folk. Myself having to introduce myself every-time. Trying to find someone to give me basic mentoring, even trying to understand the hierarchy.

Not only does communications break down over email, messenger, people get the wrong intention of the email, if I wish to add input I have to encounter where it doesn't feel like I'm the bulldozer. Many skills are lost WFH.

Code reviews suck over webcam, sharing knowledge is insanely hard and I'm not lucky to have a house with a spare room where I can dedicate to work. My own personal space is not an office nor I do I want it to be.

The trip to and from work allows me to break work mode and have my own freedom without having a work laptop stashed underneath the desk. It may cost me £ to get in the office each day but heck do I prefer it. I'm 33. WFH is not for me, I find it hell.
Agreed. Unfortunately I find the European Pirate Party representatives the least reliable when it comes to reporting on privacy laws and similar. Which is pretty damning judgement considering what they see as their mission.
Accessing ARM chips isn't a problem for them, secondly markets like China can survive by focusing on their own market.
The French would be okay.

But German defense policy is built around self-defense and coalition defense: NATO, EU, UN. Nuclear weapons are opposed by Germany, and it's only because NATO is viewed as essential that nuclear sharing is accepted. Most Germans don't know about it though. A bilateral (FR-GE) extension of nuclear policy would be politically unacceptable to Germany, and require extensive legal change.
Ease up on the YouTube conspiracy videos.
It's never easy to achieve something with clear code (unless you are writing a hello world program) but it is a skill you can practice and which will pay off more than any comment. At the end of the day, a comment which clearly explains your reasoning and intentions won't help prevent bugs which have an increased likelihood of occurring in unclear code.
Usually the term used is "discretion" I believe.
It's not Broadcom IP, all the Pi apart Pico are based on Broadcom chips, which indeed may explain why Pico does not seem to be impacted by supply issues, as you point out.
The likelihood is therefore that supply issues are because of Broadcom...

> The restaurant goes bankrupt and the landlords get paid from the liquidated assets.

what assets? If the restaurant is renting, their assets are just the equipment they own. The landlord will only get what they by selling those equipment for rent owed. I don't see how a transfer of wealth is happening in this scenario.

If the restaurant's location is owned by the proprietor, then they're their own landord. Their creditor would have a claim on the property, if they borrowed money to run the restaurant. But calling this a transfer of wealth is misleading - the owners of the restaurant signed up for the debt. Businesses and investments are not guaranteed to succeed, and using leverage increases the risks of losing more. How is this a transfer of wealth, except for the lenders recovering what they could, as is their right to do for lending out the capital in the first place?
BTW, the person I was replying to explicitly said they're not American.
Huh, and now I know I was actually pretty good when using DMSO in the lab.
>They're questioning the cost vs. the alternatives.

USAF already investigated and answered that question: The F-35 was slated to replace the A-10, but the plan was axed in favor of keeping the A-10 indefinitely upon finding the operational risks and costs of flying the F-35 for CAS missions were not feasible.

Among the problems noted were: More dollars spent per flight hour, higher airframe cost (both in dollars and potential technology leakage) assuming an airframe loss, inferior protections afforded to the pilot, inferior airframe robustness and sturdiness, inferior payload, inferior flight range (and thus loitering time), and too fast minimum airspeed.

In fact, the F-35 was slated to replace the A-10, F-15C/D and potentially -E, F-16C/D, F/A-18C/D/E/F, F-22, and AV-8. The only aircraft the F-35 has thus far successfully replaced is the AV-8 owing to STOVL being a unique and niche capability. In all other cases the F-35 has at best complimented the preceding aircraft, and at worst failed as their replacement.
It is everyone he knew relevant to proving his innocence. Is he allowed a defense at all, or should this just be done Chinese style?
I'm differentiating mostly on who paid for the development in particular company, and would that development exist without military. Apple doesn't fall under that (even though they survived 1990s heavily thanks to federal sales, iirc) - they build the company on top of consumer market.

Compare this with SpaceX where DoD funding was crucial or most of other US launch vehicles that trace directly to early ICBMs. Ariane was built by companies from defense sector continuing development started from ICBM work - but Arianespace was purposeful pivot into pure commercial, civilian vendor (though subcontracting to defense industry still).

As for nuclear, civilian reactors aren't much of offshoot of bomb production except for using the same physical processes underneath.

NATO.

This is a way to pony up money in a way that would be appreciated if Finland joined NATO.

It's the killer feature of F-35 and F-22 and heck modernized F-16s.

I suppose it's hinted at. Finland can't find and maintain an air force alone...

Stealth simply isn't as important as one would think so long as you're not running missions into enemy territory.
Geography suggests that Sweden would be an extremely reliable ally for Finland in any conflict with Russia. Assuming that Sweden didn't want to be the next domino to fall.

DoD funding was "make it or not" point for SpaceX, to the point that they admit leaning a bit outside of safety regs just to ensure they didn't lost it.

Similarly, USAF was major investor in making Starlink happen.
Nope. Roads? Government won't let me drive without more taxes. Healthcare? Haven't seen a doctor in a decade, not that it is "free" here anyway. Electricity, gas, water: paid for by me with duties and levies and tax on top. Firefighters? Have never once called for their services but I would pay them when needed. Police? They're the ones who enforce the stealing. Plus they get special privileges the rest of us don't.
To summarize the article: Some people benefit, and some don't.

To editorialize: This is how all economic exchange works, and any talk of "the economy" being "good" or "bad" is mystification. The powers that be are cranking up rates hoping but not really expecting to avoid a recession. In their view, a recession (i.e. more pain for working people) is acceptable collateral damage when weighed against the risk of continued labor inflation (i.e. more pain for asset owners).

Not everything is some technocratic spreadsheet puzzle to be balanced. There are winners and losers.
How hard is it for repos to just "not do business in the EU" -- especially those that are donation funded in the first place? It's been awhile since we saw the amusing maps drawn by the Pirate Bay pointing to the big pond that separates where the law is enforceable and where the servers are. Perhaps it'd require IP range blocking, but honestly, if there's no ads or any business being done in the EU, even that seems unnecessary -- the EU can take the trouble to block them if they like.
