As a technologist who’s run a fully fledged media PC since the days of Xbox Media Centre (before XBMC or Kodi or even Plex I think) with both Windows and Linux flavours, along with a USB IR remote control and wireless keyboard options… I simply got fed up of things randomly not working every year or two when a major upgrade was required, and the amount of effort that typically became required at the exact point that I was exhausted and just wanted to relax.

So I gave in, switched to Plex, paid for a Plexpass lifetime account, and bought embedded devices that could stream content off my server.

I have way less flexibility now that I’m on an AppleTV 4K. I also continue to get occasional headaches (e.g. recently the remote control randomly stops being able to control the volume), but the size of the headache is limited to pulling out a different remote control / turning all the things off and on again. Mental effort not required.

I have a laptop that goes into the 4x2 HDMI splitter, and I occasionally whip that out if there’s a real desperate need. But it’s the absolute last resort. It’s just easier to use the ATV.

It’s not that I lack the ability to produce a better PC based solution today, it’s that I lack the interest, and the $200 ATV is good enough that I’d rather throw money at the problem than time.
I like their template: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56ab961ecbced617ccd24...

At work I use a pretty similar template for my design docs. Lately I have started to include a “strategy” section earlier in the design doc, so the first part of the design doc is giving all the background and context then the next section sets out the requirements and goals. Then you give the future vision that everyone can agree to. Then the next section gives a strategy of how to accomplish the vision e.g “we will take incremental steps first” vs “we will re-architect the service.” Then finally the next section is where the design starts, now that we agree on the future vision, requirements and our overall approach to the project we can talk about specific engineering choices and the plan to accomplish those.

I wanted to ask a question to other frontend folks, have you been able to get a good design doc process adopted by your team?

I have had difficulty because a lot of times FEEs think that their projects are too “simple” but then when I look at their code they have made design decisions that we could have discussed much earlier on if they had actually made a design doc. I also see FEEs going down wrong paths and re-learning things themselves that we could have addressed in a design review. What does your process look like for design reviews for Frontend?
> Netherlands for the purpose of trade (was before Industrial revolution and industry wasn't involved),

That's arguable. I mean they didn't have the steam engine, but besides that the Dutch economically was relatively industrialized according by most other metrics (high urbanization, high amount of energy usage (wind, peat, water), relatively very high labor productivity etc.)

Trade allowed the Netherlands to acquire huge amounts of capital but unlike some other countries (e.g. Spain) they didn't waste it and instead invested into dramatically increasing the productivity of their economy .
>Imagine if Germany post WWII said "You know, the holocaust was too far, but Jews are still a problem, and they shouldn't be part of German society." We'd question how de-Nazified Germany

That isn't whats being discussed though. If Jews wanted preferential treatment because of the Holocaust I'd object to that too.

If you want to point to concrete things that prevent black people reaching equality then we can discuss it, I might even agree with you. I'm not claiming we have perfect equality today, just that that should be the goal.

But again you're just mentioning slavery as if that is itself an argument. It isn't it's a statement of what happened in the past. I can't change the past, and neither did I have any role in that past, so I'm neither morally culpable nor able to do anything about it. What I can do something about is today. And today I support equality.
Impact of Early Tech Decisions on Twitter
Actually I've seen cases where migrating was just backup-restore, change dns. Still doing that, and testing/verifying everything can certainly eat half a day. [ed: and note that dump>convert>manually fix>build as done here should be strictly more work than backup/restore - assuming little in the way of nearly plug-ins..].

> And at the end of the day, you still have to deal with WP.

Certainly - I'm not saying one should not migrate away from wp - just be sure you make an informed choice...

I just now saw this bit in the original article:

> The cost of a properly hosted server, combined with the need for a distributed database (...)

I'm not sure what "distributed database" means here - but I'm quite certain wp and mariadb/postgres will run fine together on a 5 dollar vps - if something like Dreamhost isn't attractive for some reason.

That said - i too would much prefer something like github pages for a blog.
Transitioning != Surgery

You have to be 18 for GRS or 16 if you have very very long standing documented history of debilitating dysphoria. It is the same for top surgery and any other cosmetic procedures. HRT isn’t until puberty.

Kids transitioning is name, pronouns, clothes, and where they stand in boy girl boy girl lines at school.

I swear ever time I talk to people about these issues at events or whatever people will go on long rants and end with me being like yep, not only go I agree but that’s how it currently works.

Like the accommodation that trans kids/teens want with locker rooms is single person stalls so they don’t have to change in front of their classmates or awkwardly maneuver around a toilet but the rhetoric you see is completely opposite of that.

Genuinely, I am sorry and what or whoever made you feel like you were bigoted or transphobic for basically agreeing with WPATH standards.

Perhaps the book industry should borrow a technique from the music industry: Songs are often released in two versions, one a "radio edit" which means it's sanitized for broadcast and another "dirty" version with a "Explicit Lyrics" warning on the label

Same.

Once I started seriously considering retirement, admittedly a bit early-ish relative to the usual 65-70, the internal mental model of self has started to shift pretty dramatically, and the hypothetical "I have a lot of things i want to do" plans for the future now have the annotation "and a lot of them need to be done while I am still relatively young enough for them to be plausible."

That has honestly shifted the self-perception pretty dramatically. Or maybe I have the cause and effect reversed.
They don’t have to care about the super rare cases, and in practice they never did. The survey has already a more than big enough sample to take the right decisions.
A new tool can certainly do things better. Emacs has many quirks, that are partly because of its age, and partly because it needs to remain compatible with its extensive ecosystem. A new editor that, for example, prioritizes performance, while not sacrificing extensibility, and maybe does it in a more mainstream language, could always start small and eventually gain traction.
>Anecdotally, there are people who smoke weed every day and still sleep well at night.

Sleep well, or "sleep enough hours"/"don't have insomnia"?

Because sleeping well and REM sleep can't be deduced from the latter, it needs to be measured.

Not even self-reporting is enough - because chronic bad sleep becomes the baseline, so people used it to just consider their mental clarity/energy levels when they wake up normal (like a person with shortsightedness, who doesn't know he has it -- they're then suprised when they finally get glasses and see that, no, it wasn't normal actually).
I'll give a couple historical and current examples:

Star Trek was always woke, starting with its at the time quite "woke" black communications' officer and many plots with aliens as stand-ins for different races or nations. The initial show got cancelled (as is often the case with even successful sci-fi) but it gave birth to a giant franchise that continued to be at least somewhat "woke" by contemporary standards. Definitely not a flop.

The Apple TV series For All Mankind is going into season 4 and is relatively popular. I liked it. It's full of "woke" stuff but is well written and is based on a really good premise. My favorite fan theory is that it's an unofficial prequel to The Expanse. Not sure I'd call The Expanse "woke" but it's also not not-woke and has a number of background elements like the popularity of polyamory and bisexual characters sure to trigger right-wingers.

I could keep listing sci-fi. Lots of "woke" sci-fi.

Films, lots of them. There's many films about civil rights and social justice struggles that are quite good and did not flop: Mississippi Burning, Schindler's List, 12 Years a Slave, Hidden Figures, etc. Disney has recently made a bunch of Pixar films that are pretty woke and didn't exactly flop.

I do agree that there's been a fair amount of stuff that feels like "woke" plot points have been shoehorned into it, but that's just bad writing. Bad writing is bad writing.

If anything the woke stuff might be getting shoehorned in in a frantic attempt to dress up a turkey. "Lets throw some gay characters into this shitty movie to be edgy for gen-Z."
I feel like this would be best illustrated by a KSP mod.
I used it to find “energy drinks that don’t contain taurine or much more than recommended daily amounts of vitamins“ and it did a great job. I had to tell it when it included a wrong result and it would output a more correct list though. AI will be GREAT for shopping.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. That is why in the screenshots you see the part with "account recovery options". Although there is the classical way with emails/sms, the other way would be to register an additional device for the account, for example by scanning a QR code, like in the screenshots.

Moreover, Google/Apple/Microsoft password's manager may sync your passkeys/credentials across your devices if enabled.
> If the choice is between "lock these works away because they contain something that could be offensive" or "bowdlerize the shit out of everything"

It's not the choice.
For this to be true (which it is in some contexts), the important question is what the boundary of the "system" is.
They really didn’t wish for opt out in the discussions I read.
If you're asking for a GUI for simple CRUD on an arbitrary table, I think that's pretty common. What database are you using, and what API are you using to access it? (Edit: and on what O/S?)

If one of the obstacles to data entry is normalization, perhaps an updatable view if your database supports it.

Here in Latvia that's still somewhat the case, at least according to statistics like these: https://eng.lsm.lv/article/society/society/latvia-leading-in...

I've personally seen people who choose to pirate everything from movies, to OSes and IDEs, and have no problem with doing that whatsoever. That said, I can kind of understand it, due to many not exactly having lots of money to throw around.

Personally, I live a bit more ethically, but it kind of sucks: I'm not sure what I'd do without JetBrains offering student licenses, followed by a graduation discount and recurring discounts. I've also not bought a AAA game on release in years, it's always sometime later on sale etc. The same goes for server hosting, most PaaS solutions are too expensive and vendors like AWS and GCP are outside of my price point.

But hey, OSes like Linux and software like LibreOffice are a godsend. As are free IDEs and text editors as well, sometimes.
Litestack: Ruby gem with database, caching, and job queueing using SQLite
It has. It describes the majority of people NOT sleeping well, and not getting good or indisrupted REM sleep.

I like to think there's somebody watching this announcement (based on their own request) and pouring themselves a cold one, getting ready to train their whole department on some niche aspect of FreeCAD that will save millions, with this approval out of the way.

(Millions of dollars maybe, but also maybe just millions of seconds, you never know)

Then step 2 of the plan is to direct some grant money toward development of some $picky_CAD_folks_features[] which will also prove beneficial for some kids somewhere,

...who will go on to help create the next generation of really awesome CAD tools and designs that benefit all kinds of people.

But, that's just one version that seems like it could happen, to be sure.
Christ you know it ain't easy.
Not the Atari itself, which never had a C compiler. But systems like that, yeah. Lots of 70's systems were designed for non-ASCII or ASCII-subset[1] character sets, whereas Unix had made very comfortable use of every funny symbol it could find.

[1] e.g. the original Apple II character ROM had only the 64 characters from 0x20 to 0x5f (no lower case, even) squished into 6 bits of addressing. The keyboard reflected that limitation, as did those from Atari and Commodore. This wasn't rectified by Apple itself until the IIe, though there were 80 column cards on the market from 1980 on that implemented the full
If you have to pay for it out of pocket then I probably wouldn't as a couple years work experience with a Bachelors is more or less equivalent to having a Masters as far as most companies are concerned. If you're thinking it would be a stepping stone to an eventual PhD you're probably still better off going straight to a PhD program or perhaps taking MS courses part time while working and applying to PhD programs.
It's interesting that the article calls out that James Bond had been modified in the past with reduced sex scenes to appease the US audience. This has happened with other IPs as well. It's interesting that AFAIK that wasn't hit with the same pushback by the right in the US.
I think the article gives us a very shallow take on a problem. The first question should be "what is an age perception". The article even calls this perception a bizarre thing (and I agree), but then it throws the question out of the window.

Why people think it is a good idea to learn how to guess age? I think, it is because we need to guess age of others to fine tune our communication skills. If it is so, then probably we apply this very guessing abilities to ourselves and get the wrong answer. Which is not very surprising: we see ourselves differently, we see ourselves from the inside, so skills learned for measuring others do not do a great job.

So there are some traits, that can be measured based on our appearance and behavior, that are used to predict age, but they looks completely different from the inside. What are they?
It would be unfair to evaluate twitter according to current features. It is now being actively developed, looking for new features to give it more value. The pre-elon twitter stagnated on a static set of features. For instance, they recently filed to turn it into a payment platform like paypal. These kinds of changes can be a game-changer. Whether they happen or not is another issue, but twitter is no longer a corporate social media, it is a startup.

Ask HN: Is the LMAX Disruptor Outdated?
I am looking for a disruptor implementation in Rust (more specifically: a MP/MC queue, where all consumers receive all entries) and found https://github.com/sachanganesh/eventador-rs

There it states

The LMAX Disruptor serves as a basis for a lot of event-bus implementations, though the contemporary architecture of the Disruptor looks very different from the one presented in the outdated LMAX white-paper.

Is the disruptor pattern outdated and if so, what is its successor?
Yes, that is one intended use case. I think this site achieves a facet of that goal? Unless you somehow prefer reading raw xml instead of maps.

Thanks for the casual ad hominem. Interesting take that making practical data available for to anyone is a symptom of ivory tower delusion.

Ultimately, a person wrote a free and useful tool that can be used by anyone, and all you’ve done is deride it.

Not the downvoter - but I’m guessing it was for using the term ‘woke’ - a derogatory term that is so often used lazily to excuse racism, homophobia or misogyny by people who don’t want to engage in discussion.
OP: For such questions and discussions, I recommend getting on IRC [0]. The Libera server [1]

IRC is a collection of chatrooms on all kinds of technical topics: programming languages, frameworks, cloud providers, topics

often hundreds of people are in each chat room. You can get live Q&A sessions with veteran and highly respected programmers.

I've chatted with an engineering director of AirBNB on a channel there, and also a security expert who was tracked by the FBI for a bit, for example-- interesting, intelligent people.

Examples of chatrooms ("channels") I am in: #nodejs #python #machinelearning #economics [3]

You'll need to learn how to register and login to IRC -- it's pretty easy, just involves a command. For Mac OS I recommend the LimeChat client.

James Bond is not great art.

It has female characters with names like Pussy Galore. It's an adolescent fantasy that was mocked by the Austin Powers movies.

The character Q is a cheap plot device for resolving plot issues easily once the author has painted himself into a corner. Once in said corner, you go back in time and insert some gadget invented by some prescient genius that Bond will never use again and probably should have used at some earlier point but didn't.

James Bond is dated and really no longer works well. He was originally a ladies man in a conservative era when women did not readily put out who saw so much action because his wife died and he was all heart broken over that and women knew he was the marrying kind and blah blah blah. Now that everyone goes on Tinder and casually hooks up with random strangers, there's nothing special about James Bond getting laid left, right and center.

It's juvenile, it's out of date, it's misogynistic and generally ridiculous. It does not need anyone handwringing about trying to preserve its original form like there's something sacred there.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly watch the movies. But, no, they are not high art that requires special protection for the benefit of future generations.
The most promising applications of large language models to genomics
Battles have been fought over dumber things. Writing system-critical code in Mathematica is probably "a terrible idea" for most applications that don't make enough money to justify paying for a license. For the people who do pay for that license... don't they reserve the right to complain about "multiplication with multi-dimensional arrays"?

Neither of you have to be wrong, but insisting that Wolfram isn't liable for the situation isn't right. They built the moat, now they have to deal with people falling in on both sides.

Build more relatively dense housing.

And to those who may balk: Dense housing doesn't need to be cheap. If you think to yourself "Gosh these walls are thin", that should not be a given in a long-term investment like a multistory complex. High quality, somewhat private housing is possible!

While "any housing" is better than an extreme like homelessness, I align with those who think ever expanding suburbs is a big waste of concrete, infrastructure buildout and promotes the use of needless daily private transport.

I lament (rental) apartments being built all over my city's downtown, but I support increasing the density of living in urban areas.
