Gift cards from work always go in the trash, they are a hassle to remember you have one, tote it around or redeem it at a place I probably don't frequent enough.

You obviously weren't on Twitter in the early days of the Failwhale and "Twitter will never scale." In fact, the original Ruby implementation didn't scale and was eventually discarded. The same thing will happen with Mastodon if it becomes necessary.

Not anymore and less each day. Twitter is no longer a valid choice for a lot of people.
TSMC’s 3-Nm Push Faces Tool Struggles
GNOME seems to be built for the lowest-common denominator of user. They go out of their way to make sure there is only one possible way to do something and almost nothing can be customized without writing an extension. I imagine their devs go to sleep every night, only to be shaken awake at 3 AM by a horrific nightmare wherein some 85 year-old grandma was mildly confused by a setting in the control panel that she didn't understand.

I consider myself a "power user." I know what the computer can do, I know what works for me, and I want software that can be bent to my will, especially if I will be spending the majority of my day working with it. I tried to like GNOME for a long time, but KDE with all of its functionality and flexibility fits me a whole lot better.
Every 24 hours, my stream quality resets to 520p. Then I reset ESN and it goes back up to 1080p... for another 24 hours. Kodi plugin. I pay the UHD tier, by the way. The second they ask about possible account sharing, I am canceling.
The propellers used a really interesting architecture - they had a large number of cores but the cores lacked features like interrupts or core timers. That meant that things that would normally be peripheral functions became code on a core.
Hopefully we can add something closer to that experience at some point too.
I think it's nice. It's about the same form factor as the existing paper-holders it replaces and in this context the wood border is aesthetic and clutter-reducing.

My work went with LCDs which don't match the calm wood and earth colors decor of our meeting and privacy rooms.

Not that you asked, but what I'd tweak would be a way to run the cable back into the wall.

I agree it is not easy to use correct local version, but that is why gradle wrapper is there. In case you do no trust it, you have workaround for it. For projects from company repository, this should not be issue. For random project from github, it may be worth to go the safe way.

It is a discount to that customer demographic.

For debit cards, imagine your account has $0.01 in it and about to be overdrawn. Each transaction from here on out will net you a $35 overdraft fee.

Accounting for the fees, would you rather have 5 immediate charges of $1, or 1 delayed charge for $5?

For credit cards, there's no overdraft, just a hard cutoff.
Any controversial program is wrapped with “equity” to neutralize negative feedback.

The reality is that the kids doing the work are overtasked. Right now, Johnny 8th grader is playing school lacrosse, travel baseball or AAU basketball, etc. He gets home at 9pm. Torturing them with busywork doesn’t help anyone.

The kids who aren’t performing aren’t doing homework either.

If you’re 35-55 years old, you’re a child of the 80s and 90s. You’re the old people now, and our perspectives are as out of touch as our 1950s and 1960s parents were.

Well if the two US companies that do business in US and with US residents, than UK court would not have any jurisdiction. (And would not even try, it's not like they don't have other things to do.)

But in this case, you have two US businesses, that own local UK business and do business on UK soil with UK customers. That is why they fall also under jurisdiction of UK.

MS and Activison could close their business in UK, and stop serving their customers and then they would not be affected by UK courts.

Bottom line is, if you do business in multiple places, you need to play by the rules of all that places.

It's similar how the legislation in lets say California can affect products in all the USA.
Modern games are just way more complicated and all the assets have to be a lot higher quality. The assets especially just take a lot more work to do.

A single character model can have more polygons then a whole game back in the day. The textures are also way more detailed, animations are more fluid/realistic, etc.

This is why a lot of effort is being put into helping developers to make content faster with things like automatically generating large parts of levels/worlds (basically a developer puts in the important parts manually and some system fills in the rest) and automatically generating and animating humanoid models (MetaHuman), etc.

For example here is nice video about using MetaHuman with basically just a phone for face capture as input https://youtu.be/pnaKyc3mQVk?t=72

>In defending their power to do that the state has made an argument which seems convincing that they maybe ought to be permitted to hold-back legitimate and reasonable costs associated with the sale, but I don’t think has made a convincing case that they can just keep whatever excess value there is without there being a takings clause violation.

If the government can self-fund by targeted asset seizure, rather than allocation from the legislature, you create an incentive for abuse. Want to grow your team? Find another home to possess, have them work on it. I'm very skeptical of this idea. We've seen it go wrong with other forms of asset seizures, with traffic enforcement, etc. Sadly you are probably right that it's legal.
There’s one answer in the article itself:

"Modules maintainer Luis Chamberlain has recently been working on a problem where the arrival of a large number of requests to load modules in a short time can create difficulties for the memory-management subsystem. After some discussion, he posted a proposal for a mechanism that would simply limit the number of module-load operations that can be underway at any given time. Linus Torvalds quickly answered, reminding Chamberlain that semaphores ('a classic concurrency limiter') could be used for that purpose. The patch has since been reworked along those lines."

I wasn't arguing against the notion that rich people can weather failure better. That is objectively true. I was arguing against the notion that this is an acceptable outcome for society which was implied by the question asked in the prior sentence:

>why should we as a society artificially push anyone else into the arena?

We don't even need to get into the practical reasons that other comments mentioned. This is an inherently unjust way for society to be structured. That alone is enough reason to push for change.

That's not so much "redeem" as "reinvent". The article is basically trying to turn them into urban areas rather than suburbs.

I think that "dense suburbs" might be possible, but it requires a lot more than building the houses closer together. You need to make a lot of infrastructure available by foot (and accessible), which is more than simply rezoning. You'd need to tear up the streets.

And you'd need to design a serious public transport system. Your goal is to reduce car ownership to less than 1 per family, but there will always be places people can't get on foot. Busing is the classic answer, but a car sharing system could also help.

It's a lot easier if people are working remotely. If each person has a car that is basically assigned to sitting in an office parking lot all day, the entire town will end up designed around ubiquitous car ownership.

Aiming for a "15 minute city" with the solitude of suburbs is probably not impossible, but it's going to need rebuilding from the ground up.
I lost about 70lbs in about 10 months by cutting out processed foods, cutting out foods with added sugar, eating foods having a low glycemic index, eating a lot of chicken, whole vegetables, whole fruit. And by not juicing, and not drinking smoothies.

I also did a lot of strength training so as to lose fat and not muscle.

I didn't try to reduce the amount of calories I was eating, just change where those calories were coming from.

Weight went poof. Energy went way up and my mood improved.
These safety people guarantee a useless product that never does unsafe things. ChatGPT proved that you can have a product do unsafe things and still be useful if you put a disclaimer on it. Overall, as a user, I couldn't give a damn if things are unsafe by the definition of this style of ethicist. They were a ZIRP and my life is better for their absence.
Looking forward to that as well. I use a large scale FTTH provider with multiple virtual operators, some of whom (like the one I use) have their gateway elsewhere.

Google has since fired other folks on her team and was in crisis mode to protect Dean. Like, I’m not really going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this.

When people brought Dean up Timnit came up as something to consider, it’s interesting to see how all anyone has to say in these threads is reverence towards him. People should try to see the whole picture.
I think that's a good way to look at it. I'm definitely on the symbolic side of things for my understanding. I study pure math and the 1 applied math course I had to take(Applied Complex Analysis) was a nightmare because I was doing math without a formal framework.

I will say though that not every topic can have a sensible visual model to it, and being able to acquire symbolic intuition is probably essentiall to go far in any field.
following this project for a while. Though I dabble in computers for quite a while now, going the whole order-your-own-pcb-and-then-solder-some-more route is quite jump for me. I think there's more people like me.

Ah. Andrew Lowenthal. The next future ex-friend of Elon Musk.
I think giving versus taking materially changes the ethics of the scenario.

If someone gives you something as payment, no strings attached and no misrepresentation, then it's a fair play. They gave you a watch as payment, they didn't ask you to sell it and pay back the difference. The debt is settled even if the watch isn't worth enough, because it was the payment, whatever its value ends up being.

If you took the watch to repay a debt, then yeah, it's unethical not to pay back the difference. Thinking about it in the converse helps: if you took the watch and it wasn't worth enough to pay back the debt, you would probably insist they're still on the hook for the rest. Cuts both ways.
> the benefit of watching it with your favorite player wherever you want to, not with the crap player they offer under scenarios they dictate

This is the part I don't get. Why do you feel you have this right?

FYIW, HBO Max allows you to download episodes for offline viewing, so it's not exactly true they are dictating the scenarios. I watch HBO all the time on plane rides.
Similar questions have been litigated before, and the answer is not unequivocally no, contrary to what you might expect.

It depends on whether you knew that what you were buying was worth more and whether you bought/got it with intent to deceive the other person about its true value (which is a hard thing to determine in the moment)

Flamewar will get you banned on HN. You posted dozens(!) of comments in this thread and in several places broke the site guidelines extremely badly. If you do this again, we will have to ban you.

No more of this whatsoever, please.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Edit: you've unfortunately been doing this in other threads too. For example:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35555288

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35554829

This is well into the territory where we should probably ban an account. I'm not going to do that right now because you've also posted good comments (especially on other topics). But if you don't stick to the site guidelines in the future, we're certainly going to have to. Please remain thoughtful and respectful in the future, stop calling names and attacking others, and don't post any more flamewar comments.

This depends entirely on the language. An AST[0] can be derived from most any language, but how it is generated depends on the language's syntax.

An IDE (or IDE plugin) specific to the language is probably your best bet. Java has a huge ecosystem, so I would be surprised if nothing exists.

Also I would warn you that the results may not give you what you want. If the code was written such that it is impossible to tell what is going on without dropping into the details of every call, it is possible a diagram or graphic will not be as pretty as you expect.

Another option I've found useful when navigating is adding my own temporary comments in the code as signposts.

I would not discount pen & paper as a valid tool. Nothing wrong at all with jotting things down in a way that helps you understand someone else's code.

Lastly I would recommend remembering your struggles as you write code of your own, that someone else (or yourself) will have to slog through in the future.

Its mostly the incentives spurred by the Drug War federal decision to let individual LE agencies keep a share of proceeds of federal-law seizures they execute (most state forfeiture laws direct the proceeds to state general funds, so LE agencies don’t directlt profit from them) which created the problem, because it turned civil forfeiture into a funding stream detached from local government priorities for the agencies who participated.
Right, I'm saying AWS is an outlier.
It seems they sent warnings for several years before seizing the property, all without any response. The local government claims there were programs she could have used to pay off the debt over a period of a decade, in order to keep the property, or she could have sold it herself. She already wasn't living in it, so no eviction of an occupant occurred.

Debt collection agencies are more common with private creditors & bills, or with unsecured debt. Typically, the entity engaging the agency gets only pennies on the dollar (they usually sell the debt, and the right to pursue it, to the agency). No point in doing that, in this case, since the entire value could be recovered.

As I understand it, yes, this was sold at auction, and, as part of the seizure process, the property's mortgage was nullified—without which action, the (auction) sale price would not have covered the remaining balance on the mortgage.
Stuff like this reminds me of the bubble tech lives in.

There are a lot of people who aren't on top of their finances at all.

For them, a delayed transaction wreaks plenty of havoc because they're not keeping track of how much "ghost transactions" are affecting the account balance they see.

Now you could argue it's on them for not being on top of their finances, but Uber makes a lot of money from these people. The largest demographics are 18-24 yr olds, ie people who honestly can't afford overpriced delivery but do it anyways.

A huge systematic problem across all of American society seems to be the prevalence of problems that are profitable to someone. This leads to many cases where people fight reform to maintain some kind of profitable niche in society.

Housing shortages are profitable to property owners, bad rail infrastructure is profitable to airlines, complicated tax codes are profitable for accountants, bad foreign policy is profitable for defense contractors, etc.

All complex societies suffer from this but it seems particularly bad in the USA for some reason.

First, recognize the fallacies you're employing.

The video lecture and slides use high school level Newtonian physics to explain galaxy rotation clusters. If you understood the physics in his book, the physics in the video should be child's play. It is not remotely difficult to understand. And it is possible for a layman to evaluate it for rigor without referring to the theorist or other physicists.

Oddly Bing seems to like PDFs more than other pages. I have a project that generates PDFs for logged in users. I see a handful of Bing/MSN IP addresses that keep on trying to view that page everyday, but MS has never tried to index other pages that need user authentication. So either Microsoft is really eager to index PDFs or my code the logs unauthenticated access attempts doesn't work on other pages.
Exactly! So many tricks pulled off with a microcontroller require carefully timed hand-coded assembly loops, Chip Gracey managed to preserve that ever so useful fallback mode of microcontroller development while enabling multi-core applications. And as a result many of those carefully hand timed software blocks are now available for download and reuse.

On single core microcontrollers, all that carefully timed assembly ends up interleaved with other logic in ways that make it nearly impossible to untangle for reuse.
Not only the left wing bias was taken away, it was essentially flipped around to a right wing bias and, on top of that, amplified by replacing crypto bots with the right wing ones. I have never checked QAnon but that's how I imagined it: a playground for hostile power agents and bot farms with a bunch of useful idiots in the mix. Sadly, that's how twitter looks to me these days.
Like the JetBrains model. $99 first year, then $79 second year, then $59/year going forward. No doubt some companies offer discounted-for-loyalty pricing, but yeah, never seen it addressed in billing systems I've seen. You'd likely just move someone to a new subscription ID, and there's likely some gotchas to deal with, but obviously it can be done :)
Yeah last year my inbox was flooded with recruiters, but I had a rough round of technical interviews back to back and succumbed to imposter syndrome. I postponed interviewing to learn and prep and try to add more to my resume.

Now a year later, I'm trying for a new job again and I hardly hear from recruiters, and I actually have to apply for jobs. It's a huge contrast from this time last year and it makes me regret waiting.

Side Note:
Having seen other coworkers move on and knowing what I know now, I've realized I was more than ready to get a new job a year ago, I just lacked the confidence to keep trying. Hopefully this serves to motivate others paralyzed by imposter syndrome.

My sarcasm detector is failing me. Mid 19th century Germany (around the time the Struwwelpeter was written, that would have been the Deutscher Bund, when nationalism was seen as progressive) is culturally, sociologically more different from late 20th century Germany then late 20th century Germany from late 20th century USA methinks.
> They've initialized this crackdown in a few different waves. I can't imagine they would continue to do it if it were detrimental to their bottom line.

Companies regularly do things that are detrimental to their bottom line because they either misunderstood how their customers use their product, or because they are trying to please shareholders, or a combination of both.
