A major part apart from building a queue by getting behind is the ability of the file manager to sort, to classify, to filter, to move into folders, to search, etc. Far better than the youtube web interface, which only has the options of displaying your subscriptions as a grid or as a list. So I now have a local queue of videos which I can use, in which weird expeditions into obscure genres are into their own folders, must-match-now videos are tagged, etc, and I can pick and choose according to my own tastes of the moment.

That is one of my pet peeves in UI design in the last decade and it is not only web applications – shoebox apps are often as limited. If you want to do anything to your data or just have different sort orders or views, you only have what the app developer allows and often that is nothing.

Thanks to the web and shoebox apps I appreciate file managers like Finder even more now. It’s amazing what UI controls like NSTableView/NSOutlineView gives the user in functionality. Modern collection views often look better and I appreciate that, but I do miss the functionality which, while possible, often simply is not implemented.
What's the hardest part about doing retrospectives?
what kind of latency budget do you have to do all that? even at like 15fps i cant imagine that you can provide a non janky experience when this “server yanks client back to valid state” move is done. i mean obviously you guys have figured it out, just the math doesnt quite make sense to someone like me not in gaming
Over the last 40 years I have programmed in practically every major language, yet VB.Net remains my all-time favorite for ease of development and code readability.

I would still be writing in it today but there is really zero support now. A real shame.
Anyone who wants the functionality of tablets, but doesn't want to carry an extra thing everywhere. I'd pay easily $3000 for a foldable with a good pencil and a good CAD app. Right now, the only such device is the ipad with shapr3d.
I'll just cautiously raise hand and say that how old you die is not necessarily the whole story on the quality of your life, and the state of your community. Of course the difference is still big and worth studying.
Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!

There are apps today that are using a mix of web and local capabilities.

- photopea.com - import local image, make edits, export back to local storage

- tldraw.com - same

- demo.logseq.com - best example I've found yet. No login required, you can import a local folder of Markdown files, and have the Logseq web app interpret them as a set of backlinked notes.
> How is the the mobile version of PureOS? Do you like it?

Personally I like it. Phosh is pretty and snappy.

> How responsive are apps on the phone? Do they feel snappy?

Reasonable by Linux phone standards. Sometimes an app can take 2 or 3 secondds to load, but it shows a splash screen instantly so it still feels like its working. A mobile CSS firefox tweak (preinstalled) makes it work and it is very responsive and snappy.

> Are you able to sync your email and calendar on either Google Apps or Outlook for offline access?

Yes. Well Imap email works and CalDav calendars. I think Google calendars work. I use a generic Imap email provider and Nextcloud for contacts / email.

But the battery life is abysmal. I got between 4 and 8 hours battery life. Apparently suspend is now working so that should be fixed. The camera app wwas awful (but that is now fixed).

But the biggest problem was that the modem constantly dropped out meaning I would miss calls and messages makimg the phone useless.

I now use a OnePlus 6 with postmarketOS and I haven't looked back.
That's kind for the video makers you're actively not supporting.
same, i think that will save me a lot of time.

You gave information about your age. Previously I didn't know whether you are below, at, or above 6 years old, now I know. What if some poor chap started when he was 54?
There are many instrumentalists whom I follow on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Youtube). I imagine that most people interested in instrumental music do the same.

We've hired ~15 engineers in LATAM over the last year and a half, mostly in Argentina and Uruguay.

If anyone has any questions about the process, I'm happy to answer them here. Or feel free to email me at the email in my bio.
They said they were using a personal Workspace account, not a paid business account. They're likely on a legacy Google Apps account, as am I, for having signed up using a custom domain name 15 years ago.

Just making a new account isn't a realistic option when you can't move over purchases, YouTube uploads, and the millions of other pieces of data tied to that account.
I don't remember exactly all the details, but the issue was something with developing for multiple platforms, with Rust you have traits, so it's easier to implement platform specific stuff with them, with C I don't know if there's anything similar, also you can think of all the other benefits that Rust brings.

From my experience once you learn Rust, it is very easy to build things and being confident that if it compiles it works, I think C also scares a lot of developers and it's harder to collaborate, because each code review must be carefully review by having a mental model of the entire app, while in Rust obviously that's the job of the compiler.
I have a different perspective. Looking at the original post, [1] it wasn't labeled "Show HN" or posted by the project's author (antirez). So my first read on seeing it in the HN front page would be "hey, I found this cool project". And these people commented with links to similar projects, which I take as something like "if you liked that project, you might like this one, too", or "I wonder how these compare". I find that sort of comment helpful and curiosity-inspiring. Very different from "you shouldn't have bothered writing this when some other project exists". I can't tell from the date-resolution timestamps but they might well have been posted before the author showed up in the thread.

Some of them yes. From YouTube website at least. Not from YouTube app as far as I’m aware.
Haven't noticed any issues like that under Windows, so please open an issue with more details. You can also try either enabling a native window handle from "Settings > Interface > General > Use native window", or enable a native window frame from "Settings > Interface > Title bar > Disable Application title bar".

I'll also see if I can implement something like that!
> ...declarativization of the UI. We have stuff on the page, but making the actions & linkages of what does what to what has so far been trapped in code-land, away from the DOM. The exciting possibility is that we can nicely encode more of the behavior into the DOM, which creates a consistent learnable/visible/malleable pattern for wiring (and rewiring) stuff up.

I don't get a sign-in prompt. Maybe it's a regional thing?
I generally prefer eliminating middlemen as well, but a good middleman does actually bring additional value in many situations.

For instance, if I'm doing a project and need to order a bunch of different items for it, the convenience of doing it all in one place, with a company that will take care of me if/when something goes wrong with the order, can be well worth paying their markup.
I have my triple tap set to B&W, definitely makes things a lot less interesting.

There's a good chance it would be considered a "bad faith" complaint. It's called reverse domain name hijacking [1] and is specifically addressed in the UDRP.

If you lose the dispute, you'll never buy the domain for a reasonable price after that, so it's a really risky move.

That’s uncomfortable compared to using thumb.
I thought Google was as proponent of standards so things like shims and multi-browser support weren't really a concern /s
It's very new, and the current frontend implementations for Jupyter and JupyterLab include some workarounds for fundamental protocol-level limitations that probably make adding this kind of feature as part of the core package a no-go (without first addressing the core protocol limitations).
There are plenty of examples of very intelligent individuals which used it for evil.

For example the leader of the 9/11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta:

> “His acquaintances from . . . [Technische Universität Hamburg–Harburg] still cannot reconcile him as a killer, but in hindsight the raw ingredients of his personality suggest some clues. He was meticulous, disciplined and highly intelligent” (Yardley, 2001).
That, or adjusting their business model in those regions so that pervasive surveillance and privacy invasion aren't their core product. Apparently that's so hard that GDPR detractors can't even acknowledge it as a possibility! Honestly, I see it as a red flag that someone is arguing in bad faith.
If I had to choose only one online subscription that I pay for that would be YouTube Premium.
> freedom from having to ask seemingly stupid questions
With almost no risk of receiving a rude answer
Dumb example but still example from practical world. Your body (assuming you are a human) has trillions of cells. Each cell way more complicated than what a 1000-dimensional vector can represent, but maybe it could be a loose estimate of some properties in each cell. Now the algorithm could be about finding the most similar cell. Could be useful for finding e.g. other cancer cells based on properties in one cancer cell.

Not that this is a practical example because we technically cannot index all cells in each body. But even if such an algorithm being studied today might be useful one day when we do capability to collect such data

> Are you really going to tell me theres nothing wrong with viewing any of those as a kid?

Well you really are providing 0 actual argument of why not.

If we take your examples 1 by 1, first you keep quoting BDSM as extreme but for milions of people it is not extreme (even depicted in mainstream movies like 50 shades). Pain can lead to pleasure in sex, and a lot of people (guys and girls) get more horny when dominated in bed in a safe and trusting environment. I don't see what is so hard or bad to explain / show it to teenagers.

On the other hand not speaking about any of it or marking it as taboo can lead to situations where uneducated parties get massively abused in bed by bad people or simply equally uneducated people (how many times the drunk + "oh I discovered last week my girl likes domination" combo has led to something on the rape scale ?).

As for scat and bestiality honestly if I take my personal experience i watched 10 seconds of 2 girls 1 cup when I was 16, almost threw up on the computer and then decided that was not my thing and never saw another video despite consuming a lot of port. Same for bestiality.. I'm repulsed by it but not traumatized by it.

Im not advocating to put kids in front of porn (and like i said in another comment i'm fine with the status quo of the rule of "not under 18" while not being really enforced). I'm only saying that instead of focusing on fobidding it, which will never work on the first place, we should try to fill the massive gap there (still) is in the mind of many people and many families on how we introduce kids to a form of sexual education that will make them safe later. Because THAT is a currently shit show and most kids learn about it in a very random fashion.

it's certainly different than Netflix given that they actually make content. On Youtube you're just paying a tax to the fiefdom. Given that a lot of creators have patreon which takes a miniscule cut I'd rather pay creators as directly as possible.

Paying a company with a market dominating position 150 bucks per year to not hold me hostage with blocked UI functions is kind of ridiculous.
One application are LLMs. I've seen a project use Pinecone to enable "infinite context" for GPT-3.
I am currently in a superposition of being very excited and very underwhelmed. The wavefunction will collapse once I can actually play with the technology and find out if it is anywhere close to as good as they claim.
As usual the most interesting things which actually will change the world is not getting any reactions while dark mode does.

Med-Palm2 (and what Google is pushing/working on with partners for a few years) will have a huge social impact.

In parallel there are things which are just really weird like the picture with the bench were the shadow us clearly just bad.

Anyway crazy how ml is now just here.

And in parallel I still think it's tremendously stupid that they really build that Blockchain cloud service.
> Figuring out how to cheat on a test/interview sounds like a way more effortful and stressful experience than acting honestly

That's easier said than done when the market is expecting unrealistic job experience, requiring coding tests of knowledge that won't be leverages for the job, and asking candidates to participate in ridiculous interview processes.

For someone with an established resume it's manageable but for candidates fresh out of school without much work experience they're faced with a hostile hiring process.

It's reasonable to understand that they would feel the need to cheat to even get a foot in the door.

Is the OnePlus 6 a phone someone could buy today or is it an older phone you’d have to buy used?
I don't think it's "not in good faith" to say "I made a real substantial effort to understand this, and am trying to describe it accurately; if at this point my descriptions don't match the reality, it's not my fault but that of the people who made it impossible to understand".

(Of course it's perfectly possible, for all I know, that SW is not debating in good faith. But what you quote doesn't look to me like an admission of bad faith.)
This might actually be great for saving people from wasting their time on youtube (like me!).
I only block the in video ads because they are so intrusive. I don't mind any of the other ads on the platform and am not against advertising in general. They have also gotten money from me via their 30% cut of super chat fees so I probably do earn Youtube more money than the average user.
You're comparing a $1300 phone versus a $150 phone. I'd like to see a more recent Librem 5 video review, because in the past it used to be sluggish as well. Whereas PinePhone doesn't pretend to be anything else than an Linux ARM phone for developers of that platform.

I personally considered the PinePhone at some point to hack on, and UBPorts looked rather fluid on it from video reviews I've looked at the time.
That's precisely the answer I didn't find convincing for the reasons I mentioned. If it were that simple, I strongly suspect we would have SRAM-DIMMs and DRAM-DIMMs duking it out in the marketplace in analogy to SSD vs HDD a decade ago.

> one capacitor, whose dielectric is simply the gate insulation

Every DRAM cell depiction I've seen in the last ~5 years has had a gigantic trench capacitor. Are those not in production?
The hardest part is phrasing your wording so that you get the benefits of bragging or shifting blame without looking like that's what you're doing. It's called social intelligence and it feels amazing when it comes together.
> The response was pretty muted; apart from David, only four people responded. Three of them said there were already similar projects out there, and only one person responded positively and offered to help.

It's still pretty useful, as an outsider, as then the creator can hopefully explain the difference, if it's not already outlined in whatever gets submitted.

https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2009-02-25

It was also still on the frontpage, so not sure I'd say muted. I'm sure it led to many people trying it out, some giving feedback, others eventually contributing. The effect can be bigger than just comments in the submission itself.
I remember back in the day some software companies typically used to ask a question like "What happens (under to hood) when you type in a URL in your web browser, and hit enter?" and you'd have to jog them through every step you could remember. This takes it to the next level.

IPyflow takes a round trip from client to kernel for each execution (including reactive executions) -- this approach is necessary to get the best possible accuracy when determining dataflow in a highly dynamic language like Python, but it is an architectural limitation that prevents the reactivity from feeling as instant as in Observable or Pluto.
Since other semiconductors like Germanium aren't used to build CPUs, I would argue all current software is optimized for Silicon?

That's interesting, and I wish the author would've dug into that more. The claim is that people were typing .com when searching for them, but a search would've resulted in a search page, not direct traffic.

As far as direct traffic, they migrated to .com on 1/15/23, at which point supertokens.com already had 1,473 referring domains and 16.6K backlinks. I think it's more likely that the traffic they saw was the result of that instead of people typing the exact domain name (which is relatively rare).

I'd also submit that this is the story as told by their agency, who probably also told them to write this content marketing piece based on that explanation.
Ask and ye shall receive:

“Based in part on his work with Hinton, Sutskever was hired by Google. There, he implemented a neural-network-driven approach to language translation that produced fewer errors than competing efforts. His work provided the basis for a major upgrade to Google Translate. “Researchers didn’t believe that neural networks could do translation, so it was a big surprise when they could,” he says.”

Hinton left last week as well.
Yeah. Causing additional page accesses can also be expensive due to the TLB impact.
Bard isn’t self-aware and can’t know what it’s capable of except for what’s in an initial prompt.
I was initially (pre-covid) thrilled at how quickly they shipped and found their pricing reasonable. Orders came in the "you ordered 10 but our smallest box holds 10,000" style of packaging. Then, seemingly everything I wanted was out of stock and never seemed to come back. I get the sense that they know what they're doing, but aren't really serving the prototyping crowd.
"kindly accept" is a very standard idiom, at least in indian english. don't know about other dialects.

Quite impossible as literally no one involved is still alive. Quite impossible because many contemporaries had nothing to do with it. Quite impossible because many contemporaries fought against it.

If your father committed a crime are you liable? If your father broke the speed limit before it was introduced, should you be fined for it given it was later introduced?

> What's OnlyFan's cut of all those transactions?

Onlyfans takes 20%.

If Apple had a stripe connect like API which charged 30% then the business activities I mentioned would probably be viable, if painfully expensive.

To make social payments at present, a company would have take In App Purchases revenue into its own bank account then distribute those funds to creators. This usually requires some kind of money transfer licence depending on jurisdiction. There’d also be cost in performing KYC checks on all creators and covering another layer of currency conversion (again depending on jurisdiction).

That kind of setup is possible at the moment, but hard to sustain without adding at least another 10%+ to the fee.

And the operations side of managing chargebacks, payment timings and refunds through the IAP platform stacked on top of your own money transfer business would be very painful.
