Looks quite similar to Ikea's desk partition - Eilif Screen. Ikea's one also uses fleece kind of material for sound absorption.

The DMCA was carefully crafted to modify copyright liabilities in a way that ensured the Internet would centralize. I guess the hope now is that (by removing 230) they can put anyone that lets individuals publish stuff out of business.

Then, I guess, the intention is that the Internet will stay centralized, and we'll all just watch Disney+ on our DRM-only displays or whatever?

(I don't see the above tactics actually working, though I think they should either eliminate all of the DMCA or none of it. Otherwise, this is just corrupt courts trying to appoint economic winners and losers.)
The term you're looking for to find more info on this is a Code Kata.
I had a Netflix account for a long time and eventually cancelled after I realised I spent more time surfing the menus than watching anything.

Conversely, I watch YouTube all the time and somehow have not spent the money to get rid of ads.

The other service I pay for is Britbox - good value.

For movies, I just order the DVD from eBay - it costs or 4 bucks and arrives in a day or two.
I apologise if my writing gave the impression that I was trying to do too much. I just wanted my sane life back - ability to do my duties without struggling a lot.
Do we have to give the you-are-the-product speech? It's a proprietary platform that is trying to sell you all of their other services, get you locked into the their tools, and require everyone you wish to collaborate with create an account. Even then, it's buggy, overly social, and since it's not FOSS, we can't fork it, improve/fix it, or self-host it. We also see the status come up a lot because folks have centralized on a service for a distributed version control system and mirrors have become increasingly less common.
Apps that install persistent services typically check if the .app bundle exists in applications so in most cases just trashing the .app is enough to stop any errant left overs from executing.
Ask HN: Web3 Shutterstock Alternative
Hi there,
When I travel I film a lot of drone videos. I decided that probably someone is interested in these video footages.

There are Shutterstock, Getty, Pond5. But is there a web3 alternative? I can mint an NFT for each video, but it cost a lot of money so it doesn't make sense to do that. Probably it makes sense to mint an NFT on demand when there is a customer that want's to buy a video. Other challenge is a storage. There is still no a good decentralized cheap storage. IPFS still requires a host.

Have you seen such marketplace that doesn't require a creator to pay in advance but be able to sell their content in a better price?
Obviously, detection of who blew up the pipeline. If you can detect the means, then you have a lead for the culprit.

What kind of question is this? All it does is make me think you're being intentionally obtuse. Anyone who blew up the pipeline — or committed any other crime —would try to cover their tracks, unless they were planning to take credit (which they weren't). That's how you always commit crimes!
I thought I’d never felt dumber then after seeing that list of emojis. Then I started reading the comments.
As other have mentioned depending on what is being deployed.

Lambda/Cloud Functions code: testing 1m-5m, deployment <3m. We use NX for our monorepo so we usually only deploy a fraction of all of our serverless code.

Containers: testing 5m-1h (depending on build time and type of tests), deployment 3m-10m.

Migrations: anywhere from 1m up to 1h depending on the tables/migration type and the number of affected PostgreSQL instances.

Infraestructure: anywhere from 2m up to 8h depending on what's being changed.
> It’s a political question.

It's no more political than "do dogs have souls."

People have different ideologies and they're the basis for approaches to the problem. Nothing can be proved in everyone's terms. And dogs might be sexist or racist or really dislike hats, but they can't tell how someone voted in the last election.
Can you explain what the existential threat in an entire state or a small town is that requires people to live in the most expensive and desireable cities?

I'm not a relativity expert, but couldn't you tell the difference between a point mass (or just significantly smaller volume) and a star in this black box scenario? At a great distance, they would appear the same gravitationally, but as you get closer, the star would appear less massive. Since more mass would be pulling on you at an angle, rather than directly toward the center.
briefly, but not extensively. I was a roam user for almost 3 years. I actually prefer a simple website for mobile and not having an app. I really dislike tags, and the look of brackets. in fact note taking in general lol. Preference is to type minimal notes, minimal configuration, minimal 'gardening'. The complexity and plugins people get into for note taking seems over the top for me.

Gpt-3 for automatic entity extraction/tagging. Embeddings and Pinecone for similarity searches.

Honestly in a pinch I've used screen door mesh from the hardware store, and gaff tape.

Otherwise, search online for 'PC dust mesh filter' and it usually is sold in rolls.

> I would probably want this too. Noise-cancelling headphones help a lot to solve the audible noise problems of an open office...

Really? I have noise-cancelling headphones (nice Bose ones), and I've never considered them much of a help with office noise. In my experience, they're great at cancelling white noise, but nothing else.

IMHO headphones (including noise-cancelling) are a six-of-one, half-a-dozen of the other "solution" to office noise: they just trade once kid of audio distraction (office noise) for another (music or talk).
You're not supposed to speak unkind of Apple products [0] or its peripherals North Face, Patagonia.

How is any operating system supposed to log everything an application does and then remove it? If it's allowed to add data beyond its birth directory, would not an "uninstaller" only remove whatever the devs chose to and not 100% of its effect on the OS?

From the article I understood it as “no black holes contain singularities”.
Clean Code was one of the first books I read as a History student trying to become a self taught developer. From my point of view, coming from the rigor of historiography, the book was inconsistent and dogmatic. Still I took it as a replacement to talking with an experienced engineer, because that’s how it felt and most of the principles were fine when not taken to the extreme.

But now in my career I’ve seen awfully unnecessarily complex code in the name of the SOLID principles and others like DRY. Other times completely misunderstanding what the principles stand for and applying them in hand wavy ways.

This is a personal stretch, but even the marketing behind the principles is a bit of a red flag for me (Clean Code, SOLID, UNCLE BOB????). To me it sounds like someone made a career out of this.

I wish we had a better book to recommend to newcomers.
I’ve been looking at this out of pure curiosity — it’s surprising that it’s a thing, but maybe it shouldn’t be.

I own a switch (or rather I suppose I should say my kids do) so I don’t need to emulate it, but I do wonder what it would be like to play BotW on a 5k screen. I know it wouldn’t run in 5k, but maybe there are mods or ways to crank up the settings? It would be fun to explore some time.
I'm still on the waiting list, I hope they bring it back like how it was when I get to use it.
It already exists in the CJK glyphs. A historic misappropriation shouldn't penalize the people who justifiably have a right to it.
Our kids have never really been interested in soft toys apart from a favoured few, but we still seem to have accumulated more than 100 when you add up gifts, prizes and whatnot. It's terribly wasteful.
I felt the same way when I had it. Netflixs engineering blogs were always really well documented, I wonder why their search was always so bad. Does anyone have an idea?

Also this made me wonder how many people on HN don't actively use an ad blocker. Is there a reason why you don't use one?
I can’t believe there hasn’t been a modern remake of that.

It is a bit ridiculous. Come to Canada and there are as many cannabis stores as liquor stores now.

It’s kind of like that, starting from where we are, black holes have no “inside”, since it takes an infinite amount of time to cross the event horizon.

>Like, the US blows up the Nord Stream pipeline and Russia is like, "oh, shit, we never detected a mine, I guess we'll never know if NATO was behind this, and they're innocent until proven guilty!"

If the US did blow up the pipeline, they would be most interested in keeping it a secret from Germany, not Russia. It would also be important to keep it secret from the voting public, other neutral countries (India, e.g.), pretty much anyone except Russia.
Juan Password Park would sound better. Or Juan Pass Park if there is anything approximating a pass.
>> That's factually wrong. If you decide to utterly obliterate something, the future can't find it interesting.

> Object X may be deleted but did you make sure all references to X were deleted as well?

IMHO, something with references to it isn't utterly obliterated. But there are a lot of things with little-to-no references to them, and those are things someone can totally decide to make the future uninterested in.
You mean the modern meta-cubicle that just wraps your head?
This will be an unsatisfying answer.

Thanks to my job as a software engineer I felt like I was in the position to help people financially but the dozens of people I've asked at this point have all told me the same thing:

1. Their immediate needs are taken care of.

The ones who got evacuated were put up in hotels at first and have tons of support from local organizations. The ones who were more than 1 mile away generally are staying with friends until they feel like it's okay to return home.

2. They want life to return to normal.

This has been a major disruption in their daily routines. They want it resolved so they can get back to living their lives.

3. They're anxious and terrified about the health implications.

Ignoring the actual smoke cloud when they did the burn: the smell of the burn went for miles. It's hard to believe someone telling everything is safe when you home still reeks of chemical smell.

When the burn happens lots of people experienced runny noses, sore throats, and other minor symptoms. Was it a result of the chemicals? Was it stress? Was it all in their head? We just don't know.

There's a ton of dubious information flowing around social media scaring them. They don't know what to believe.

---

The main thing that will help people is to feel like their situation is being taken seriously.

Things like a congressional hearing to establish answers to what happened and how it can be rectified. The federal government stepping in and committing to long term testing of the area. The railroad being forced to provide medical screening for at least the next several years.

Someone in a position of authority stepping up and saying they're committed to making things right instead of trying to minimize the situation or use it as a talking point.

Those are things no individual can do by themselves but if I had a suggestion I guess it would just be to reach out to your congressperson and tell them that you care about this getting fixed and never happening again.

If you’re building a large complex app that needs to be shared across multiple platforms, C++ is a common choice. Not talking about games here, think Office, Facebook, Zoom, WebEx etc. It easy to see Rust replacing C++ in that stack.

But as Rust is so much nicer that C++, I could see it becoming popular for smaller projects that want to share common logic, with a native UI on top.
I would have agreed with this a few years ago, but now the preferred "noise insulated cubicle" is my own house. If I'm going in to the office, I want to do it specifically to collaborate with others in an open space, not sit alone in a box.

I like that they have stopped accepting flag proposals. They don't have any business trying to play geopolitics and they don't want to either, but as a result these legacy symbol must stay there for compatibility and new nations or those that didn't make the cut get no representation. We should use these flags a lot less anyhow—especially for language indicators.
They already did, it’s called working from home

- getting used to designing abstractions before coding

- laying out how I'm going to program before starting

- using TDD for most bug fixes and refactoring efforts

- learning how to steal the best parts of code from other people

- code reading everyday via PRs (my mental VM is pretty close to a real VM)

- learning algorithms and data structures (at least the basics, I'm no competitive programming pro)

- learning how to do code archaeology with git blame
Exactly! Imagine word choice making the difference. Looking not too strong nor too weak. It would make for a really compelling game. Given Civ's AI track record my hopes are high but expectations low.
Not at all surprised. They will be making Civ sequels a hundred years from now. Tropico sequels too, probably.
I personally like this rule of thumb, if a function is hard to test, it's time to simplify some code.

Noise canceling headphones lower the noise floor, so the little bit of sound that still gets through is super noticeable. I’ve found playing a really quiet noise generator makes background voices totally disappear. The in ear versions of Bose headphones also work better than the over ear for voice frequencies.
Everything you said was basically my impression of the game when I left it. I didn't know about the last part, it doesn't surprise me they underdelivered on it.
Go to the garage, you may also start a business, who knows..
The Windows apologists are non the wiser :). Windows still has no full uninstaller that can clean the registry droppings many apps leave and other files, requiring to use specialized apps for that. And sometimes it would also fail to uninstall the binary. And Windows bizarely needs to retain the huge installers, so that part is strictly worse vs Mac
No, it can't. His example doesn't even contain "int i = 0". He has "int i;" followed later by an initializer that can be skipped depending on the rather funky switch logic he's added (i.e. it's undefined behavior).

Which SOLID principles have you found issues with, either theoretically or in practice? They still seem like broadly sensible principles to me.
Even outside the context of refactoring/extending an existing codebase the code examples seem bad, look at his example of a prime generator from the bottom of the article. Think it’s more a case of “your own sh*t doesn’t smell”.
Wow, how did I manage that. My numbers are all off by 100x.

So that means they're saying the ocean is 4% CO2? That would mean the ocean has more CO2 than salt (3.5% or 35 ppt)
"right" click the app and select "Open" creates the same exception without the need to open settings. There's also an equivalent terminal command for the exception I can't remember.

If either of those aren't satisfying, you can always drop the check entirely which I can't personally recommend.
It seems like other players would pay for that, to learn his weaknesses.
> Java-style exceptions give you a backtrace for free, which is a huge head start. With Rust you have to do a lot of manual plumbing with something like error_stack to get similar functionality

With crates like anyhow and eyre you also get backtraces "for free" nowadays, without needing to do manual plumbing (all you need to do is toggle on a feature flag).
Frankly, people are buying the AI's escape mechanism. The fact that this tech is being wielded haphazardly for purposes it's not suited for, made into a bad search companion because it's cool, is disturbing.

It sounds so much like the scenarios where AI convinces its creators to let it out.

It's evident business leaders don't know what they're looking for in developing AI, so they've made what "seems cool", but really is manipulative and threatening. Too much talk of safety has lulled away all that very useful fear.

Netflix had a hack day and one guy made a really cool and simple keyboard shaped in a circle with the cursor in the middle. Every letter was one joystick movement from the center. They buried it. That and other UI blunders convinced me the difficulty searching for things is by design so you give up and watch their absolute shit piles of "original" content where the title and thumbnail tell the entire story.

You have X amount of dollars. You can spend Y percent on healthcare. How do you spend Y to have the greatest benefit? Save 1 patients with a $300,000 gene therapy, or save 1,000 patients with effective treatment for their diabetes.

The data doesn't "belong to me", that entirely depends on the specific app/type of data (and this concept of a few kbs of very important stuff I've carefully changed in the app's settings menu and would even like to track in vcs vs all the other junk is also largely missing, though that's also on the app devs)
> The technology needed is well-established, just collect a lot of vials of water, soil, stream bed cores etc. on a grid scale focusing on the entire region, paying attention to downwind zones from the accident in particular. Then they need to be run through an established, documented extract-and-analysis procedure.

Yes, and in addition, surface- and groundwater transport should be simulated given any known hydrogeologic data on the region. The federal government in fact develops free and open source software for exactly this. NS should have limited involvement in the testing process, feds and independent parties should collect data independently and compare results in public view.

My point was that although public transit can reduce car accidents, it cannot and will not ever completely replace individual transportation, so FSD cars which are safer than human drivers would still be a benefit to road safety.

The story here, from a technical and management perspective, is the incremental cost, in both engineering resources and company PR image, of handling edge cases.
