Oh, thank you for reminding me of the well-known endpoint, was having trouble finding it in the OAuth RFCs but I wonder if it's pulled in elsewhere.

> They can't inject a token because you don't get the token from them, just the one time code.

that's not correct in the most common flow? The most common flow involves the user agent providing the information via a GET, so they can theoretically provide a token.

The reason the state parameter is important is because without it, a malicious actor can make a link that goes directly to your system's "oauth step finalized" step, but with their credentials. (Pedantic attack: service has slack push notifications integration, through OAuth. Attacker creates link like https : //service/connect-slack-finalize?token=token-to-attackers-slack that victim clicks on. Without using state, the service will just take the token and stick it into some slack integration. now attacker's slack is getting messages for the victim's account on the service. Cookies mean that the victim's thing is accepted immediately).

I knew a guy that came to work one day and found out that he had been named best cfo of the year from a local organization, out of the blue. He was sent a plaque and was invited to a dinner in his honor. It turns out that he worked for a very large company and the organization was trying to score some points with the company. Who better than the man that handled the finances?

This made me wonder if these magazines are just trying to score points with people that can mean future business for them. Or access to them if they make it big.

Is this too sinical on my part?
Anything invoicing trans people like me, and especially anything involving families with trans kids.

It's not by accident that everyone in my immediate social circle carries a weapon of some kind now. The existential threat from both the state and other citizens grows daily.
It's a neat feature, but I'd be worried about it getting stuck and being unable to retract.

Later model years removed the ability to retract the screen on demand, due to backup-camera laws, and the 2021-ish refresh ditched the retractable display for an in-dash display similar to the 10th-gen Honda Civic (which amusingly, ditched the in-dash display in its 11th-gen for the previous A3 style).

This might be cheating but if you want a mostly screen-free recent Audi your best bet is probably the TT (or its big brother the R8 :-), the only screen is the entire gauge cluster and it's certainly not a touch screen.

Just do _not_ get a modern VW with its touch sensitive steering wheel controls...
Almost everything in that study points to newer generations seeking more open communication and a general skew towards more positive communication(which is seen as a weakness by boomers), which hardly seems like a downward trajectory for “interpersonal” anything.

Comparing inter generational differences seems like a pointless circus. For as much flack as gen z and millennials get, we are still building rockets to Mars, creating diverse workplaces, advancing medicine, etc…the world is still going onwards!

That's because academia is ass backwards with it's attempt at gatekeeping high knowledge/low skill fields.
Which is a pretty great testimonial for unions. They’ve been so effective that their lasting impact has sustained a century of adversarial counter efforts and half a century of decline in active membership. In contrast, the actual concentrations of wealth and power can’t seem to go more than a few years without flailing into crisis so severe everything stops to apply a temporary salve so it can all happen over and over again.
Since people will bring up AccessKit, assuming it to be a potential panacea (… despite the obvious performance cost of doing absolutely everything twice):

The pure canvas approach used by things like egui (and it probably can’t change it) and current iced (it used to have iced_web which rendered to DOM, but that’s been abandoned for now for no obvious reason) is fundamentally and irredeemably unsuitable for general-purpose web content and apps, in ways that things like AccessKit cannot fix. I’ve written about this a few times; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33861831 is probably the best thread. The two items I like to focus on are links and scrolling, both of which are unavoidably broken.
I believe that the engineers are competent at developing software, and think that a lot of the quality issues are due to engineers abdicating authority over the software to managers and never saying "No, adding in that feature at this point in the timeline is going to make this a steaming pile of shit and I refuse to do it and still call myself a software engineer."

I get that we have families to feed, but I've seen far too much of a mindset shift in fellow engineers into thinking that we're warcraft peons rather than professionals. "The business" has engineering feedback as a necessary input, and speaking individually with steakholders they expect this - they'll push until we push back.

Cool demo, but by the looks of things the whole site is rendered into a canvas element. As a result, the browser's dev tools are useless, it won't work with screen readers, and you can't copy+paste text. And any text rendering and input elements will be non-native. (So, no nice iphone controls. No native / system configurable keyboard shortcuts. And so on.)

I sincerely hope the web as a whole doesn't move in this direction. The inspectibility of the DOM is one of the web's greatest strengths. Lets not throw that away.

I feel vindicated in a high school argument I had 25 years ago that the controls on the Star Trek Next Generation shuttlecrafts (and I guess the helm of the enterprise itself) would have been awful, especially in combat situations.

I think that you’re right, and broadly speaking, there’s an inverse correlation between how invested someone is in programming and how invested someone is in the problem domain. Could be Berkson’s paradox at play here, but I think that it’s really a question of opportunity cost—the time you spend becoming a better programmer is time you could have spent learning some problem domain that you could solve with programming.

So you end up with stuff like the image crate (a straight up disaster of a crate—lots of fancy Rust bells and whistles, doesn’t support a bunch of stuff you want to do with images, reading the GitHub bug reports make me feel no hope that the issues will be addressed, ever) and R (a straight up disaster of a language, just a nightmare to write, but full of useful statistics packages, always has the package you need, but the language was made by Satan).
What? I don't see your point then. Hate criminals should obviously should be punished for using slurs.

The first paradigm to understand is that everything that makes code bad is also what makes it hard to test. If code is hard to test, that means the code is bad.

The APIs were messed up early on, which is a reason TF2 happened. Every team started making their own random implementations of stuff. You had the TF Slim API, you had Keras, etc. The API just got fatter and fatter and then libraries would make cross dependencies to bake in the API mistakes.
I read somewhere that the second diplomatic party members included one of Genghis Khan's close relatives who he favored, possibly a brother-in-law or son-in-law. Killing this person caused Genghis Khan to send in the army to settle the score.
Ask HN: OCR image pre-processing resources for beginners?
I'm using Tesseract 5 to do optical character recognition on (typewritten) scanned documents, and the output quality is mediocre, despite decent image quality.

Could anyone point me to semi-automated tools for pre-processing scanned pages to improve OCR accuracy?

I have run across scantailor-advanced, unpaper, and textcleaner, but the settings for all of them are a bit in depth, and I haven't found any beginner-friendly starting point blogposts/script for what would be good, reasonable default settings.

I'm not rich enough to know, but I'm not sure if this is a thing.

If you have a serious, unknown disease, throwing money at the problem to find a diagnosis could work. In general though, studies on healthy habits seem to be all over the place, and recommendations almost all turn into "eat food, not too much, mostly plants," (I'll add minimally processed), and exercise (strength and endurance). 95% of that is execution that's on you, even with the best doctors and personal trainers.

The other thing studies call out is not having too much stress and the importance of social connection. High-level wealth can work against those.

It’s in the comments on the original post, but Battlezone, Star Wars and other arcade games had 3D vector graphics well before Elite. There’s also stuff like Zaxxon, Q*bert or Marble Madness which simulated 3D with isometric 2D.

The open question is whether this is the cause of effect of the decline of unions. I can make a case for either.
I have same the question. I skimmed through the linked paper for conclusion, they highlight the techniques which can be used to improve, but does not say which MVCC to use for a modern database. May be I need to do a careful reading.
Hurts to be self-aware I guess.
I like tactile buttons when I'm focusing on the road. Looking away from the road to see if I have my finger in the correct place on a screen is much more costly from an attention standpoint.

I thought this was obvious. Why are we stating it?

Here's where things can get interesting. If you've ever used a fancy audio mixer before, they pack a lot of features into a board with a few buttons and sliders. Cars can do similarly with controls for rolling, sliding, and pressing but dynamically adjust based on what's on the display.
Yes. The infotainment code is rewritten every time. By different devs. Because that is how automotive industry works. This time BMW wants infotainment and a third party wins the contract (because it's the cheapest usually). For the next BMW car another company wins the contract. Everything is rebuilt from scratch.

The components that make up the infotainment a lot of times are actually developed by different companies. So navigation is one company, media player another etc.

Also, the deadlines usually make no sense and there is zero time for any optimization work. It's not the devs, it's the way the automotive industry works outsourcing every little button on the dash to another (cheapest) company. They just don't understand that that mentality doesn't work with software. Most of them are mechanical engineers not software people.

Google leaking 2FA secrets – researchers advise against new account sync feature
Yes, with the docker compose option.
Wages are not the only thing unions can negotiate about. Work flows can be negotiated, as can be work hours and many other things related on how and when the work is done. For example, and note the example is entirely made up by me, if google writes 9-5 in the contract, then negotiating about a flexible time program with Cognizant will be fruitless. It is unlikely the contracted company will even attempt to negotiate such details with the contracting company on behalf of their workers, even if the later would just shrug and change it upon request. Now, what the bargaining unit actually wants to negotiate, i do not know, the media coverage is rather thin about that. Point is: The ruling is not meaningless: if a contracting company reserves substantial control, then it is only reasonable to negotiate directly with the company that is in control.
I think it’s more fundamental than this. They do not want their education to be conditional on having MSFT software on their phone, or handing over personally identifiable data like their phone number to a big tech corp.

But the students were further aggravated by the incompetence of the university. There’s a bit in the articles and emails about how easy it was to hack into their infrastructure despite 2FA efforts. Together, these things (and some of the published emails) seem to show the university is stubborn and incompetent. Which is where students and VGTU seem to clash as well.

The university staff should have just enabled TOTP, or at least offered some reason to believe they generally knew what it was. Given the university claims to be specialised in tech, it is a reasonable expectation. Instead, their technical staff demonstrated a front line tech support level understanding.

It seems like those are the fundamental problems the students are surfacing.

You have confused the book and its content with its application. One still needs to use their brain, and one blindly applying patterns from a book where it doesn't make sense doesn't make the book bad.
The problem is he has presented strawman arguments. If you are genuinely arguing with someone who believes performance never matters, stop arguing, you won't change that person's mind.

Generally you will be arguing with a person who is considering the opportunity cost, but has considered it so many times and performance always lost, so they start saying (but not meaning literally) never.

To this person you need to make the argument, "This time is different because..." and avoid the strawman arguments from the article.

But actually what happens when they merge is that the event horizon are the ones which gets merged and the then the two singularities comea into contact and they merge together. The resulting singularity will be be more massive of the individual singularities. You will get a singularity where GR breaks down.

I'm still finishing up an IKEA kitchen, but the last I checked there were no solid wood options any longer. Used to be for SEKTION (and the Euro equivalent) they even carried solid ash doors and drawer fronts, those were discontinued a couple years ago. There are solid bamboo fronts (but no doors).

The closest you'll get now are particleboard tops with "thick" veneer. VRENA and MÖLLEKULLA use "thick" oak veneer; KARLBY, BARKABODA, and PINNARP use a "thick" walnut veneer. Veneer being IKEA's choice of words, not mine. These have traditional laminate on the underside.

SKOGSÅ uses "thick" veneer on all sides but is still a particleboard core.

SÄLJAN and EKBACKEN are laminate.

TOLKEN is solid bamboo (this must be new).

There's no incentive for an engineer to do that. Saying yes and delivering crap gets you a bonus, hard truths get you shuffled around or made redundant. There's no real consequence for delivering crap, so that's what happens.

Contrast this with other engineering fields, where the engineer is truly responsible for the decisions they make. My civil engineer friends face losing their licenses, fines or jail time if they are found professionally negligent. The same is true of other high stakes professions - think doctors, lawyers, even accountants. It's probably not appropriate for most software engineering roles, but for safety critical systems it doesn't seem far-fetched to me.
This was a fun read. But now I have a couple of questions

1. Since MySQL keeps delta to save storage costs, wouldn't read and writes slower because now I have to build the full version from the delta

2. On secondary indexes, they highlight the reads will be slower and also say:

> Now this may make secondary index reads slower since the DBMS has to resolve a logical identifier, but these DBMS have other advantages in their MVCC implementation to reduce overhead.

What are the other advantages they have to make reads faster?

Compared to MySQL, I remember reading that Postgres MVCC lets you alter the table without locking. Now I found out that MySQL also does not require locks. So, how are they doing?

Are there any similar posts which explain MySQL MVCC architecture?

Alternatively you can call Integer#even? or Integer#odd? directly:

4.even? # true
5.even? # false

Or if you really want to use ===, it is possible with the slightly sillier (imho) use of Symbol#to_proc:

case some_num
when :zero?.to_proc then "zero"
when :even?.to_proc then "even"
when :odd?.to_proc then "odd"
end

I say sillier, because even though it is very explicit, the use of #to_proc, by name, feels just a tiny bit less awesome than its usual use via the & operator, e.g. array_of_nums.map(&:odd?). It would be really cool to be able to write:

case some_num
when &:zero? then "zero"
when &:even? then "even"
when &:odd? then "odd"
end

However I say this with no grasp of just how complex that could be to implement, or other implications for the language's grammar.

thats the thing, you can actually tell but for adaptive streaming its harder to be definitive. Also content resolution becomes secondary when you are neck deep in show & storyline. that does not means its insignificant, just that its effects are subtle.
