Haha, you're right! Perhaps our next product will be called December to balance things out for our southern hemisphere friends.

I'd say that half of the issue is that even if the term is accurate, people hear the word autopilot and expect it to be a lot more than what it actually is.
Both 0 and 1 indexing aim to answer the question: "what is the index of the 1st element?"

floor(1) = 1 and ceil(1) = 1 so I'm not sure how your names apply.
What I don't understand is why the VFX industry doesn't follow market dynamics and pay the artists what they are worth given the talent shortage. Or maybe they are and that story isn't getting told?
Any recommendations on how to find the correct color temperature? Should it maybe be matched with the actual painting (how?) or dialed in to fit the rest of the room (how)?
Yes, that looks like a docker-compose config. But, it doesn't really matter. The point is that you could run MySQL in a way such that its storage (the actual data files) are on a virtual filesystem running in RAM.

It's a nice way to do it, IMO, because I prefer testing against a real DB instance in my projects anyway (rather than pretending that a unit test against a fake 'FooRepository' interface proves anything at all).
I too am a fan of the Stargate franchise.
It's easy to say you've solved distributed computing problems when you're not actually doing distributed computing
Seems like this was why sama met with Rishi Sunak
I strongly believe the technology becoming faster is itself the biggest problem around slow technology. The constraints of slow hardware forced developers to do things "the right way". Today, you can serialize a gigabyte of JSON before the user will likely notice. Really hard to not be tempted by this dark path of incremental performance cuts in favor of dev-time convenience.

Just look a bit further down the front page of HN today and you'll find a legitimately-heated debate regarding whether ORMs bring value or no. But, who can blame the developers? The pressure from management is eternal and some of us like to spend our time on non-computer problems too. Reaching for a JSON serializer or ElectronJS over Win32 and raw SQL is an understandable decision when presented with real-life pressures.

I think if we want to see good user experiences, the capitalists and management will need to start prioritizing them again (at their own expense). This is a very difficult narrative to sell, but I've had some traction in my company with "higher order consequences of good UX today means more sales in the future" kind of talk. There is also a story about pride in the product and the improvements this brings for internal operations. Imagine if your executive leadership came into the room, smack talked the electron JS pile and insisted it be rewritten from scratch while targeting native toolchains? Would that be enough of a fire to get the average developer to start thinking again or are we too far gone at this point? Clearly, we are mostly beyond the phase of "valiant developer works overtime to strive for better UX despite any and all mgmt pressures".
Dunno what to tell you. It’s a term used (not super commonly, but not infrequently either) in the space.

I don’t think it’s misleading, given the existing usage.
> You can eat these plastics as far as I know and you'd be fine.

Can we? Have these been tested? Alone and/or while interacting with other such things in the wild? Or have these chemicals/plastics been introduced because they can be (i.e., no regulation or oversight), not because they are safe and have been proven to be so.

The default of "they're safe" is not the default we should be using.
If you're interested in playing around more with this, it's using a standard called IIIF (https://iiif.io) for image access via API. It's used by many museums, libraries, and archives.

One of the benefits of this is that you can get access to a metadata file that lets you know technical information about the image: It's at https://iiif.micr.io/TZCqF/info.json.

This site makes an unbelievable amount of money because it helps YC startups attract talent, it promotes YC companies, and most of all, it encourages founders to apply to YC.
The citizens own the country and the non-citizens do not. If I burn a car I own in my front yard I'm probably going to get a ticket for improper disposal or some such. If someone else burns my car in my front yard they're going to jail.

There isn't much point in debating border policy with someone who doesn't believe in borders. Believing in the greatest good for the greatest number of people fullstop is a respectable philosophical stance but it isn't one to which I subscribe.
> This is RCE (with a slight delay).

Eh, that's really a stretch of the definition. Hardly anyone installs software via physical media anymore, so doesn't mean that all code execution is remote code execution?

"Software updates are RCE" is not the greatest take.

> It's up to you to go into Settings after setup and disable it if you don't want Apple to be able to push new and unknown code to your device arbitrarily.

Which you can do very easily.

Regardless, every user notices when Apple has shipped an OS update, because your device rebooted.

Furthermore, software updates can still be reverse engineered after they're released.
I heavily considered June recently for my b2b saas (they even offered my tiny bootstrapped startup a small discount for the first year, which I appreciate very much).

The thing that stopped me was that there was no way to track an event to only a company, it still had to be tied to a user with the identify call. Our most important metrics ($ processed per company) is not based on a user at all. I wish June let you do company only event tracking - I would have had to hack in a fake user to track against.

Lots of our other metrics are per user, so we did like that it was possible to tie it to users-just surprising that an analytics company focused on org level analytics required it.

Also on the wishlist - hubspot integration. I’ve been evaluating Hightouch to punch data from my app to hubspot and it’s probably going to work, but take more effort than I was hoping for.

Best of luck!
The problem is, the general preparation problem is even harder than the avoidance problem. How do most countries handle 60m+ sea level rises from a complete melting of Antarctica? Where is going to get to a regular wet bulb temperature above 35 degrees? Can we handle the level of ocean acidification that business as usual will result in? We need to prepare, but let's not pretend we don't also need to avoid as best we can.
Restrictions were put in place mostly in the beginning of the century during the WWI. It wasn't "we have trains, let's restrict who can work where" thingy, it was a war thingy.

EU was able to abolish those restrictions to great benefit and is trying to make it check-free through the Schengen agreement. It's Romania and Bulgaria who still need to show passports and this creates great friction at the borders but hopefully, this will be no longer the case by the end of the year.

In the United STATES of America, people are free to work and travel any any state and notice that people don't simply flock to the richest one.

I agree that sudden removal of the borders will create serious issues but this is only because there are borders at first place. The situation will stabilize and you won't see 8B people moving to Canada, 8B people moving to USA, 8B people moving to Germany, 8B people moving to UK.

I stopped reading when I reached that they made their own CVS.

This is a solved problem, and even if it isn’t, there’s entire communities dedicated to it. There’s literally no reason why Facebook needs to be in the business of reinventing the wheel from scratch beyond some dude trying to show “impact”. It’s a distraction from core business problems.
> What people actually wanted to talk about, though? Databases.

And they completely avoid discussing it again in this article.

It would be nice if I could know what their product is for because it doesn't seem to be the apps I work on.
> We literally have people living in the vacuum of space, the bottom of the ocean, and the antarctic continent.

Yes, but those people are heavily dependent on support from the rest of civilization. None of the settlements in extreme environments are self-sustaining.

> I find the idea that it would be civilization ending kind of unrealistic.

Modern technological civilization depends heavily on stable rainfall patterns to produce crops. We are already seeing problems in this regard, e.g.

The OS X kernel is a mashup of things; it's been too long since I looked, but IIRC the tcp code comes from just before FreeBSD added syncache (released in FreeBSD 4.5), so that should be after the release of jails in 4.0. But, Apple would have needed to integrate jails throughout the NeXT/Mach part of the kernel too.

And, you'd be missing out on features like VNET that came later (FreeBSD 8), unless Apple reintegrated with upstream, which is pretty rare for them. (They did update the FreeBSD userland, once)
What is the best evidence out there for what behaviors, products etc are, at a personal level, more dangerous?

For example, I have a Breville Precision coffeemaker. How much plastic is getting leached into my daily cup of coffee? Should I go back to manual pourovers? What is the real hazard I'm risking? How does this compare to other behaviors I may have?

Are there other behaviors that I can moderate for high bang/buck ratio?

This is pretty indicative of how bad things are: [A] quality control officer ... alleg[ed to investigators] another employee -- upon learning investigators were on the way -- "immediately rushed and tore apart balance printouts along with Auto Titrator spectrums and threw the torn pieces into the small trash container,” which the employee then doused with an acid solution in a bid to “destroy the evidence of tests" with potentially damning results.

Intas is under an import alert for most of their drugs, but FDA is allowing twenty-five short-supply drugs (including a lot of chemo drugs) to be imported, which should also tell you how stressed the pharma supply chain is right now.
So if the bookstore doesn't think it's worth it to spend more than 2 hours on deploying to the edge, maybe it's not that important to them, or :) ?
No one owns countries, these are political structures that often come and go but the people stay even when the country is gone. It is OK to restructure those.
Sort of. A lot of the logistics software was 10-key driven, so the alphanumeric part of the keyboard wasn't used for much but authentication.
I disagree. in some ways it's inefficient, but there's a homogenization of game engines (UE) which makes a lot of AAA look the same with similar performance issues like shader compilation
AppFlowy looks nice. I get a project management tool vice from it. I have been using Zim Desktop Wiki for many years now, for pretty much the same reasons you mention, and I never had the idea "hey I need a kanban board in here". Why would I use AppFlowy for note-taking? What do you use it for?

Ask HN: I want “Hey AI find duplicates of books on my shelf
I have a diverse collection of books and sometimes it is joined by another collection and another.
My system for keeping it all straight has failed.
I have taken a couple of photos of my shelves.

Now I wish to give the AI the photos and ask it to find duplicates.

(Now the back of the book might be a different color, or a different font and so on)

Ideally it will understand and attempt to guess the edition and all that as well.

Is there one out there that can do it?

I have had problems finding one that accepts pictures as input to questions.
Can confirm, the generic for the adhd med a couple of my kids take is super obviously not even close to as good as the real thing. Took us a little bit to put 2 and 2 together the first time we got that instead of the "real thing", but that was definitely the problem. Of course we still end up with the generic a lot, what with the shortage, and just have to deal with it barely-working instead of being wonderfully effective, until we get to roll the dice again 30 days later and hope we luck into name-brand pills being available.

Makes one wonder about, you know, all the other generics.

Electrifying does not actually help meet climate goals. Nearly every approach to doing so will require an increase in oil production just to produce the plastics needed build an electrified world. On top of that the amount of emissions it’s going to take to mine the resources for batteries.

While I am fully on board with an electrified world, I won’t pretend it is for the “climate”.
Why are so many newly floated companies being taken private?
I think it's wrong to be dismissive. Or rather, it seems to be the product of an efficiency mindset.

If your goal is to release as fast as possible or create as many games (for some definition of game) in your lifetime, then I guess there's a case against building your own engine or - as I would call it - using libraries.

But big engines definitely have distinct "feels" and can't quite hit certain gamefeels.

There's also the long view: What if I spend 5 years making an engine, learning gamedev and computer graphics, and come out highly expert with an engine built to my tastes? At that 5 year mark, suddenly my engine is better for me than the generic ones.

You may say - there's no guarantee! True. But what if I know I'm technically excellent and that I'd be wasted that advantage of mine by _not_ going that route?

What if I really only want to make a handful of games in my lifetime. Maybe I'll release smaller ones along the way as learning exercises, but I'm fine with spending 5-20 years in the dirt growing and come out the other side with something truly special?

Tools affect your art. Especially programming & gamedev which is so psychic. I may not want my mind tainted by engines with product-mindset values I don't agree with.

The reasons go on.
> a lot of the Windows shell and apps have been slowly rewritten in C#

I worked on the Shell team until late 2022. There is very little C#, if any at all.
The vast majority of the Windows Shell is still C++ with a significant amount of WinRT/COM.

> No, if they wanted to support AMD they would provide an alternative GPU implementation that worked on their.

AMD's implementation (ROCm) has historically been incredibly difficult to work with. As in their own examples won't compile.

Historically if you even wanted to _touch_ data-science you had to have CUDA hardware/software (it's been improving a bit but alternatives are still lacking).

> It's like saying an app only supports Windows because of the Windows API.

It's a little more nuanced than that because the CUDA api is specifically for one set of tasks - data science.

Nobody uses nvidia for their wide desktop support on linux - because it's terrible. Literally the only benefit of using nvidia + linux is either because of raw performance of the hardware and/or the cuda support. If you look at the arch wiki (applies to other OSes too) for anything graphics related you'll almost always seen specific sections dedicated to workarounds and fixes for nvidia hardware.

If you don't believe me then try setting up wayland with nvidia drivers. Steam just had a fun issue where they were crashing on nvidia hardware with their latest redesign (no idea how they didn't catch that?!). These types of issues are commonplace, and are largely avoided by using AMD.

thus why I say it's only really because of the cuda support.
It is autopilot.

> Sterling Archer : I thought you put it on autopilot!

>Rip Riley : It just maintains course and altitude! It doesn't know how to find THE ONLY AIRSTRIP WITHIN A THOUSAND MILES SO IT CAN LAND ITSELF WHEN IT NEEDS GAS!

Why would you attribute Tesla's autopilot with more abilities than the basis of the term?

>Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment.

The fully attentive driver is important. In the Archer TV quote from above Rip, the pilot of the Loosey Goosey, has just been knocked unconscious for a number of hours.
I'd take that over permanent brain damage any day.
I'm gonna take a stand here and say that up until extremely recently in the US, parenthood almost invariably was a deliberate decision. When abortion was legal in all 50 states and programs were available that offered free family planning services (contraceptives and abortions) to low-income households who might not otherwise have the means to access these services, parenthood became almost ubiquitously optional.

In any case, the woman has, at minimum, several months of time between the moment she becomes aware of a pregnancy and the moment a viable, live birth occurs.

Since the 70's, PP could get you in same week for an abortion. It didn't matter what the pregnant woman's skin color, income/wealth, zip code, age, disability, national origin, religious views, or any other bit of demographic data was - this was something rapidly and easily accessible to anyone with thousands of locations across the U.S.

Granted, this has regrettably changed in recent times, so I'll give you that.

On a tangent - it's so bizarre to me that when the conservatives who can almost incessantly be found talking about the importance of "small government" finally seized a modicum of real power in the US via SC majority, some of their very first actions were increasing the scope of the rules and regulations of big government. :|
Sampling tests will accept a base rate of failure, and governments have a bad habit of mixing up what sampling results mean. For example take a look at NZ’s corngate where they ignored the test results…

A tip for you and anyone else doing this: do yourself a favor and get a heat gun or other tools required to at remove and recycle the battery, before your house burns down.

I've had various old phones, laptops speakers etc. that became bloated in storage because an internal lithium ion cell was halfway ruptured.

And once you do that it's usually trivial to pop out and destroy the motherboard or storage device, especially as you don't care about doing so destructively. Then you can recycle the rest.

Sounds interesting!

Some years ago, I came across a recepie as flowchart graph. This idea appealed to me instantaneously, because a picture to me is a thousand times better than a lettersoup. Especially when I'm not constantly reading the text, but have to check the pots and pans regularly.

I think this markup language could be used as input for an engine that generates nice recepie graphs.

And then an integration into the tandori.dev application?
Book barcodes are usually the ISBN number for the book. You can just scan the barcodes on the books and check for duplicates of the ISBN. If different editions have different ISBNs, you can use google books API for free to look up metadata about the books (title, author, etc.) for similarity. AI isn't necessary for this

The quick re-opening is a hack, but it's a "pattern" that is well known and practiced in roadway construction. The middle 1/3 of the span is passing traffic on an improvised roadway while the bridge is "properly rebuilt" from the outside in. When the outer 2/3 are done then traffic will be pushed to those portions while the hack is removed and then rebuilt properly. THAT whole process is supposed to take 18 to 24 months from what I've seen elsewhere.

I left FB in the early-mid 2010s and can attest to this. It took a year or so to adjust to the "real world." Things like, no, you don't have a fancy scheduler; you get SSH, ansible, and systemd timers. Docker, Jenkins, and Kubernetes (RIP Mesos) were all new to me when other devs/devops folks had years of experience.
Thanks. This is great!
