I remember seeing that the main activity or whatever it was of the YouTube app was called something like “YoutubeTiktokApplication”

That wasn’t the exact name, I’ll try to find it, but it definitely had TikTok in the name

I could also be wrong here because I was trying to patch it with ReVanced or something at the time so it could be related to the patcher

I’m not saying that means they’re copying TikTok’s source code but it’s just an odd thing I wanted to share

> But Donegal is, essentially, 100% Hicktown. It's a rural lifestyle and you raise cows or you farm or you cut peat bogs or something.

This is possibly the most uninformed and ignorant thing I've read on here in quite some time.

> I have been doing extensive genealogical work lately, and my ancestors hail from County Donegal

Well, that definitely qualifies you as an expert.

You know there are actual Irish people on this site with far more local knowledge than yourself?
It's not just other uninformed Americans who you may have become accustomed to swallowing your utter braindead nonsense.

Donegal is a rural area - correct. It also (shocker!) has international software companies there(like SITA!). Ireland is geographically small so remote isn't hours on end to reach civilization. But I don't want to disperse any more tales your ancestors may have passed down through the family.

Back in 1979, suburban A had a temperature reading station, we can compare to today's readings from that same reading station.

Also back in 1979, suburban B did not have a temperature reading station but had gotten one added in (oh let's say halfway to 2001) later. How do you compensate for bias by newly-added suburban B into its overall mean when it is obvious that any suburban is warmer than a nearby forest.

There are two bias variances to consider for B, growth rate of concrete surface area and loss of forestry (for CO2), in addition to its population growth rate.

[C#] Bitwarden server repository is probably one of the cleanest (non-novel) solution architectures I have seen so far. I always point people to it as learning material for structuring the code. It is not the most minimalistic but I feel like it strikes very good balance and does not follow blindly all the """fancy""" OOP patterns people should never use anyway.

Still, the question remains who published it. Some of the authors (perhaps the supervising ones) may have wished not to submit it to journals, and a zealous undergrad may have uploaded it to arxiv without removing the other authors.
I gave GPT4 that prompt and as far as I can tell, the list is correct.

It's difficult to determine the "200 most common" nouns for a particular gender in German since the frequency of word use can vary greatly depending on the context (e.g., conversational, academic, technical). However, here's a list of 100 common masculine nouns, which use the definite article "der".

I recommend everyone to install the "sponsorblock" youtube addin.

It makes long videos much shorter by cutting out all the filler content (~30% of most videos), and has an option to skip just to the highlight of the video.

For this video, it skips you to 6:52, and within 1 minute you have learned that hydrolysis directly doesn't work due to the salt in salt water, it produces chlorine, and you need to do reverse osmosis first then electrolysis.

It isn't AI... it's just other humans who have tagged and marked the videos - and they have done a pretty good job IMO.

It’s also the influence of “padding:200px” on all websites. Apple taught that whitespace meant design, so a screen barely fits 10 words today.

I need a bigger screen.
The only thing about the JSON package though, when things go wrong, it is very unhelpful about where it goes wrong.

I usually end up always wrapping the json_decode in an eval to catch the error and handle it in an easier to understand fashion.

But I agree though, its nice how json and perl data objects pretty much map to each other. It's great.

Coup in Russian is "Путч" and we had one in 1991 - coup is when you take power from popular people and give it to unpopular people. In 1993 Eltsin was very popular and parliament was not - this is why Russians voted for new Constitution and communists lost elections.

And who really cared about Clinton? Next year Eltsin started 1st Chechen war without asking anyone's permission. What Russia needed back then was money. And US was giving it to us because they were scared: Russia with nuclear weapons and without money was a really scary monster, ready to sell anything to the highest bidder. From nuclear to biological and chemical weapons.

BTW, one of the scientists who was working with "Novichok" sold it to Chechen gangsters and they actually killed local banker and some other guys around. And he is still not feeling guilty about this story. Russia was ready to sell anything to anyone. That's why Clinton had to support someone and pay. Eltsin was mostly ok, not worse than any other former communist leader.
There are tables in the book that make it very clear that the phenomenon is real : the number of administrative jobs has literally exploded in Universities, particularly private Universities, while the number of diplomas delivered augmented much less. Where is our "productivity improvement"?

Here are the numbers (1982 - 2005) :

Administrative personnel : +240%
Management : +85%
Students : +56%
Teachers : +50%
Diplomas delivered : +47%

Also a banker notice than his job can be 100% automatized, and according to his own evaluation, at least half the jobs in his bank (60,000) can be 100% automatized.

Ads are one of the fastest growing revenue sources for Apple[1], they are as much of an advertisement business as any other large tech firm. Ironically enough, you probably see more ads on an Iphone than a Pixel.

It's not in the logic of any capitalist firm to be settled on selling anything. They will sell everything they can to maximize value. Arguing about whether they'll settle for anything because you're already paying them a premium is mistaking a company for a person. When they stop Facebook from selling you ads, they do it because they want the slice of that pie.

A few years ago streaming services promised you to not see ads again for a flat free, now they all have an ad plan that costs as much as the old one and the ad-free plan costs more. Don't ever think one company is going to protect you from another one.

My god. I would have hoped HN to have less bias and ignorance towards China. To be clear, im totally against the company pirating the BIOS and not attributing the author. But, the comments here regarding China just reads like r/geopolitics or r/wolrdnews.

Taking some classes on east asia doesn’t make you an expert on China. Watching a couple of YouTube videos doesn’t either. Not everything you hear in the west is absolutely true. Same goes for things you hear in China.

You don’t know the culture til you lived there. I didn’t understand American culture until I came to the US and lived for more than a decade here, yet western media is so prevalent in China and I thought I totally knew what the US was like before coming. I was so wrong.

Please go and explore the world with your own eyes. It’s really hard to read comments like these because they appear unbiased and true, but pretty far from reality.

Regarding how Chinese deals with IP, I will attribute it more towards laws and the enforcement of it. You simply don’t get punished for stealing IP until someone powerful sues you. IMO, better IP laws and enforcement will make most of these issues go away. Its not cultural

Weirdly, the "downgraded" Google search experience I get in Firefox is more functional than the "full" one I can get through Chrome or the Google search bar on my phone.

Calories In, Calories Out - a way of describing what affects weight. Depending on context, it can either refer to the general idea that weight loss/gain depends ultimately on how much you eat vs how much exercise you get, OR to the more specific idea that nothing except calories really matters and factors like medication, psychology etc are to be ignored, since you can always just decide to eat less.
While I think there's a lot to love about Java, the standard library itself is not an especially great role model. Most of it was written a long time ago and has a fairly antiquated style - lots of mutable state, nullability, and checked exceptions. Not that the library isn't an incredible asset - it's luxuriously rich compared to working in Node.js - but if it were written from scratch today, I suspect it would look fairly different. Eg, the collection classes would use Optional and have separate read/write interfaces.

For an example of "modern Java" I would point at something like this (which I wrote, sorry about the hubris):

"In California, a misdemeanor, by definition, is a criminal offense for which the maximum penalty is no more than 364 days in county jail and a fine of not more than $1,000.00."

I think that 364 days in the county jail is more than enough to deter people from shoplifting, etc. So the problem isn't the penalty; the problem is that the laws aren't enforced.
Believe it or not being slightly late is commonly used to fire union employees in the US as well.

Usually the union and business come to an agreement on such policies. These are then enforced with no exceptions. Even for 20 year employees.

There is zero flexibility or nuance for special situations. If your employer does not like you in the US they will do petty things like fire you for being 1 minute late. The best the union can do is make it so you have to be 1 minute late several times before you are canned.
I suspect there is a yield issue also. that is one large chip with one defect in the wrong place is just glass. with chipsets you would assemble the module after chipset unit test.

I'm no fan of Python after the 2-3 debacle, but to be fair, you're comparing apples and oranges here. Why not instead compare it to another C-like language (Java was originally intended to be the replacement for C++ back in 1995, and Python dates back to 1989.)

Go or Rust, or even Erlang or Haskell would be great examples that are more inline with the design goals (then and now) of Java.

Life has improved infinitely for millions of people with disabilities. Just 20 years ago there were a lot of everyday tasks that someone who's totally blind or totally deaf couldn't do without assistance. Today technology has enabled them to do those things totally independently.

20 years ago, you could have access to the world's information...as long as you were in front of a computer. Today, you can have access to the world's information anywhere you want, because mobile networks, wifi, and cheap, fast satellite are now ubiquitous and cover the whole world.

That access to the Internet from everywhere is what makes things like Uber and Lyft possible. And no, those aren't just fancy taxis - in most major cities, Uber and Lyft are doing 5x as many rides as taxis ever did. They're enabling people to not own a car. They're providing new mobility for people who are blind or have epilepsy and can't drive. They're saving lives, as fewer people drive drunk when there's a convenient, safe alternative.

Just the tip of the iceberg...
I had tons of problems with PA. Jitter, noise, insensible defaults. i.e. Why upmix stereo to 5.1 just because I have the speakers, and why make disabling it an override?

I never used onboard audio, always had some higher end card with more resolution than a bog standard on board audio chip, and PA struggled to deal with them for a long time.

Also if the daemon crashed or needed a restart, it was a dance of restarting with exacting order and other details.

> Not sure why not more people care

Most people don't care about most stuff, it's pretty normal.

But here specifically: Most developers don't read code, nor documentation, and essentially no one reads commit messages. VCS is a WOLM - write-only linear memory - to most developers. That's probably also why most people don't care to write any kind of reasonable commit message - the software requires them to input something, so something is input - and also do not care about unreadable (and also unusable) VCS histories. They're never looking at it, it's only written. Hence it's meaningless for them if it is extremely difficult to trace changes or hard to bisect, they don't even attempt such things. There's a reason the history browsers in all the online tools and IDEs effin suck, it's because on average nobody uses history.

I know, I know, this gets across very elitistically, but it's just how most people do their jobs. They get bugged to do a thing, so they sort of do the thing in order to not be bugged any more about it. I'm pretty sure that caring for these things is some kind of OCD like you say, i.e. a mental disorder.

> AMD require RequireJS runtime to work.

I said the "classic" resolution was built for AMD, but that it worked just fine for browser-intended ESM. I didn't say to use AMD, I said that ESM has worked for a long time in Typescript, in part because the "classic" resolution has always worked in browsers (whether transpiling to AMD, UMD, or ESM). Maybe you should read my comment again?

> It was not fine, when you use "type": "module" node.js expect extensions in imports.

Typescript has always included extensions in the output of imports. When you used a bare TS file import without an extension it added a .js extension in the transpiled output. .js file extensions have always worked in Typescript (going back to 0.x days). TS 4.7 added support for .cjs and .mjs, that's the new thing.

Versions of Typescript have been just fine with ESM output since 1.x somewhere with the right configuration. You don't need 4.7 to do ESM in Typescript. It helps with some nice-to-haves in Node if for some reason you are trapped into support both .cjs and .mjs files side-by-side in the same library and need all of those to be Typescript, but you don't need it for anything else. Sure, Node compatibility can be important (it just isn't important to Browsers).

There's (luckily) no such thing as an "ESM variant" of Node and browsers will never have to know anything about the .mjs file extension. (Web servers will to make sure the present the right mime type, but that's a separate issue.) They just need ESM. I stand by accusing Node of doing the silly thing by adding the .cjs and .mjs file extensions. (I understand why they did it and mixed-module libraries were a thing that needed to exist until LTS support for ESM was well adopted, but we're past that transition phase, it wasn't that long of a transition phase, and in hindsight I think it still feels a little silly. Useful, but silly.)

(ETA: I did AMD in Typescript a long time ago. I've done ESM in one form or another in Typescript for many years before TS 4.7. TS 4.7 isn't needed to do ESM in Typescript. I know this from plenty of past experience.)

That can also be used against you since you're admitting that you were not paying attention to your speed. It also means you lose the ability to claim that any speed the officer says you were traveling at is wrong, since you, by your own admission, wouldn't know any better.
