Funnily enough, the scale on the linked page doesn't allow me to set -40°. It jumps between -39.9 and -40.1

So seems like -40.0 is really where the singularity lies.

Either that, or a simple rounding issue. I choose to believe it's the former.
> you shouldn't complain that rich people don't pay for your services

You also should not complain when the hairdresser stops offering free haircuts.
The better question is.... what analytics do you actually need? I don't think cross-page tracking of the user is something most websites need...

Useful information is more like, what users clicked, what platform did they use, how much time they spent on the website and things like that. Those aren't that hard to just track yourself.

All that effort yet unfortunately stylometry would out you within a disturbingly short time-frame.

It's spooky how little data you need to match writing styles. Just a few idiosyncrasies in choices of words and phrases can out someone very quickly.
This comment is really lacking some nuance:

- of course, building a successful commercial software (company) is a lot of work

- but if you manage to create a commercial software that reach even a fraction of libjpeg-turbo's success, you'd get very rich, with lots and lots of zeros on your bank account, and a family free from material problems for decades to come.

- nobody, including the author, claim that he should be rich. We just think that it's a pity that he's not able to make decent money, despite creating tremendous value to very profitable companies (and making an much easier job to thousands of developers far less skilled than he is, while still making multiple times his paycheck).

what you wrote is mostly true but also partially incorrect: many competencies are transferrable.

there are privacy-compliant products in that sense, unless you've been literally told "click here and click there" you should be able to employ old concepts with new tools.
> You don't have to explicitly refer to undefined behavior to have it. If you just merely omit defining the behavior of certain programs then that's enough.

I respectfully disagree. It can be implementation defined, as in all other languages.

In fact, when I started with C, I did not use a C89 one, if we weren't certain what a certain construct did, we;d try it on a compiler and use the result as a definition for what that construct did on that compiler!

On another compiler it might do something else, but that didn't bother us until it was time to port the code to another compiler.

With undefined behaviour being added, that no longer holds: you try something out, get a particular result, but the next time you compile that construct you could get a completely different result.
> Parents have the keys and vehicles in easy access to the children but by and large it's not a problem.

It looks like you refute your own argument here. We don't highly regulate automobile access because it's not an issue. Most kids don't have a desire to steal their parents cars, so why would we regulate that? Many kids do have the desire to access things that may harm their development. So you can see why your analogy is largely nonsensical.
Advertising is the big gotcha here. What I think we need is for more and more companies to own their advertising rather than farming it out to third parties. We'd get better advertising AND it would be less intrusive.
CCS is "Carbon Capture and Storage", not "Combined Charging System" in this article. I'd call it "Carbon Capture" (in full) to avoid confusion.
> although most folks in the EU want that for nationalistic reasons and to prop up their own industries

Sources for this extraordinary claim, please.

As an EU citizen I'm interested in the EU protecting my privacy, not for nationalistic reasons, not to prop up EU's industries. I care that my data isn't willy-nilly given away under some opaque mechanisms controlled by large corporations, because as many here on HN like to remind me: capitalism is amoral, this is some regulation instilling morals into the system.

I want to be aware and protected about where my data is being used, for what purposes, and I want to have the power to control how corporations can use my data, or if they can use it at all. This kind of data can be modeled into a version of what a system sees as "me", through the interactions I had with it, building a profile of what moves, and interests me, I want to be able to know and control who can know, and to what degree, who I am.

If you are against that, please explain why.
True, but the EU then put 6 flies, then 12, then 24, etc. That apartment will soon be full of flies.
What a peculiar comment on this article in particular. The author mentions right in the article that they run several open source project as a business venture, placing them squarely in the entrepreneuring class. It's just that libjpeg-turbo doesn't seem to be very successful from a monetization standpoint.

> It's very unfortunate that software engineers, especially the good ones able to create libraries used by pretty much everyone, seem to lack the drive to monetize their work

It seems quite obvious to me that most open source libraries are used by pretty much everyone because they are free to use. Personal projects rapidly become unfeasibly expensive if you need to pay even just a few bucks for 30-50 dependencies each, and businesses have procurement procedures around purchases that tremendously inflate the real cost of purchasing something. "Free" is the only price at which such friction is avoided, and so is the only price at which software spreads to large amounts of users.
Fair enough, but this were actually the reason, simply adding a statement such as “if a non-EU member state wants to request data about an EU national and said data cannot be released to the law enforcement of the non-EU member without a MLAT being served to the EU national’s government” would have been enough. However, I don’t see that, and many Europeans do give “dominance of Americans” as the reason, so I simply go by the information available to me.
I agree with this! I think its great that you're trying to ask people for advice but honestly you want to maximise your learning from your potential customers themselves!

It's a small audio streamer that allows you to use some common audio streaming protocols (Airplay for iOS devices, Spotify Connect for Spotify users etc) with audio line out for speakers & headphones. It looks like an open source version of something like a Wiim Mini which should give you something to search against to see what they do.

No thanks, I'd rather not have more spammers and SEO bloggers on my reddit feed thank you. Reddit is already bad as it is, and the last thing anyone needs is content made solely for views.

YouTube was much better the time there was no revenue share. If they were to one day switch off the revenue spigot (like they seem to be on track to do currently), the creators will still stay. You think MrBeast will leave the platform that gives him access to the eyeballs? He'll just have to find (and find he will) another way to earn his butter.
> Now her entire value is tied to the use of Google Analytics, she will almost certainly fight very hard to ensure that these skills remain relevant

Or this could be the right time to check one of the self hosted alternatives (Matomo, Snowplow, etc), apply what she learned about Google Analytics, learn how to do it on those systems and sell her skills on two different classes of customers: the ones that will keep using Google Analytics, the ones that will try alternatives, at least not to be fined if not out of genuine compliance with the local laws.

First rule of capitalism: nothing ever makes enough money.
It's quite popular, but I personally don't get it. It's too low density for text to look good on it, 24-27" is around the maximum. It's too small to be a single monitor, while being too big to comfortably fit in multi-monitor setups.

I guess it's popular because 32" 4k TVs make the panels cheaper?
I'm sure the names have different importance, though. A local variable name in a small method probably barely matters, whereas the name of a variable in a widely used external API matters quite a lot.

The English kind-of fall in the middle in terms of informality, less informal than the Americans so don't freak-out the French, and not so alarmed by Americans: quite a nice place to be (culturally).

Don't get me wrong, I like American informality, the first time you meet an American they'll invite you back to their house and tell you all about their family; the French wouldn't dream of doing that, "Suppose our house is much smaller than theirs, they would be embarrassed, or much larger, and they'd think we're showing off", but once you've known them for 6 months or a year they will, and then you're a friend for life.

With server side tracking you're not able to identify and properly track non-logged in users. GA (and other client-side tools) take care of this, via cookies.

Additionally, a common argument is that the server side logs contain a lot of logs from bots/crawlers and GA (and alike) can filter them. The other side of the coin is that GA (and alike) are not able to track users with Adblockers.

EDIT: not sure why I'm downvoted - the OP asked for some reasons why people use client side tracking and I listed them. I didn't say that I support these practices, but maybe I should have made that explicit to comply with the overall sentiment of this site.

> I don't see any sign Meta understands what made Twitter great

I mean, it's extremely clear that current Twitter leadership doesn't understand that either. They're not competing with Twitter at its prime (or at least its peak influence; personally I preferred it when it was a lot smaller in the early 10s) from a few years ago; they're competing with a website that just went completely dark to the public internet and appears to be barely usable even if you're logged in.

I wouldn't be surprised for this to be a "click here and click here" kind of training. I've seen a painful amount of those. And then, when the inevitable "new and improved ui" comes along, these people are lost and require a new training.
You can learn the most generic course out there and still turn out clueless, you can also learn the most specific tool and come out and be able to generalize. As far as I can tell this depends entirely on the individuals ability to be resourceful. In that respect a GA specific course might help them

The most obvious answer: 100% is what the manufacturer claims it capable of handling continuously under the worst supported conditions.

The more difficult answer/question is how to communicate that 'full use' value as well as the current use (possibly greater than full) to software which calculates a usage estimate based on various already existing interfaces. Or if yet another interface (standard, if thinking about that XKCD comic) is needed.

AFAIK it’s often accepted that the law does accept IP geolocation as a reasonable effort to detect EU residents. GPs point here is that Denmark does not hold that view.

On the one hand, I kinda agree with DK, on the other hand that would bring on the fears of US-liberal HNers who lose all their freedom to sell user data.
Or even if you don't want to use your web server's logs for this purpose for whatever reason, this is quite trivial to implement in JS yourself. No need for GA and other bloated analytics frameworks.

I think we absolutely will just let most people die when they get sick and disabled unless you fall into one of these special groups. If you need 2k a month for insulin and cannot afford it, you will absolutely be allowed to slowly die because you are not old/disabled enough to be saved. But 10k a month for a special village because you checked-out with dementia? Sure!

"Three cats in a trenchcoat" is a good one. Three cats in a trenchcoat standing on each other's shoulders, pretending to be a human, Vincent Adultman style.

You can get them standing side by side wearing trenchcoats. You can get a cat pyramid or a cat totem or a stack or tower of cats (though often the ability to count to three is then lost). You can't get them to share the trenchcoat. Nothing like that occurred in any training set, and the AIs do not understand spatial relationships between objects ("X is on top of Y, inside Z") so you cannot describe how to arrange the things it does know about in the scene. Dall-E won't do it. Midjourney won't do it. Stable Diffusion won't do it.

Eventually, enough images will be seeded into the training sets for this to stop being a useful test. But right now, it gives one a fascinating window on what happens when you try to extrapolate outside the cloud of thingspace described by the training data, rather than just interpolating within it.

I also find 24" to be the "perfect" maximum size for a 4k monitor. 27" is close, 32" is clearly too big.
I don't agree. Those kinds of paths are often result of concatenation of several configuration options. Like APP_DIR=/some/app/bin; LOG_DIR="$APP_DIR/../logs". And APP_DIR comes to you from distro scripts, so you're not going to fork those scripts and support your own fork across updates, you just build upon those scripts.
It just scales better to have web intern paste in a GA code snippet into their website and that's that - you get revenue and web analytics all in one.

If you have to set up your own server (or at least your own subdomain that points to a GA server IP) then it's more likely to go wrong. I'm sure it'll happen, though.
I think it depends a lot on the way you use it.

30fps might be fine for playing Solitaire, but it is definitely a limiting factor for first-person shooters.

Personally, after a year or two of programming on 30hz, I absolutely want 60hz for office use. Having lag while dragging around windows is not fun. Having a 1080p+ monitor is more about screen real estate than it is about precision: you just can't fit three windows side-by-side on 1080p while still having stuff remain readable.

In the end, it's not the individuals who are greedy to the extreme. Instead, it's the companies that are pathologically greedy to the point of killing off what they need to survive.

Yeah, I heavily suspect the changes in "standard" stuff isn't due to there being revolutionary improvements every 4 years or so, it's just because the new stuff becomes trendy.

Well, you still need some kind of backend to store the data. You can send it to a 3rd party, but then you'll run into all the same GDPR issues.
You'll be surprised at how many competent (or looked like) people that cannot connect the dots between technologies / tools. They excel at one tools and will having a very hard time migrating to new one since they cannot connect the concept and similarity between both.

How is this at all whatsoever needed
I'm British and always used to think that Fahrenheit was stupid but I've warmed up to it (pardon the pun) after spending some time in the U.S.

Celsius is obviously more useful in a scientific context, but 99% of the time when I'm talking about the temperature, I'm not doing a scientific experiment, I'm asking "how hot/cold is it outside?" In that context I actually find Fahrenheit to be a more intuitively useful scale once you get used to it.

Celsius crams the entire range of likely outdoor temperatures into a narrow range with awkwardly-sized units that don't provide enough information. If someone tells me it's 15C outside, how many layers do I need to wear? I still don't have a good feel for it from the number alone, even after spending most of my life in countries where Celsius is the norm.

But in Fahrenheit, things make more obvious sense. 0 F means "insufferably cold", 100 F means "insufferably hot", and to get a meaningful idea of what the weather feels like on my skin, I just need the range: it's "in in fifties" or "in the seventies" etc.. It takes some getting used to, but I actually quite like it. Thanks, America!

(I'd also make a similar argument that feet and inches are a much more intuitively meaningful scale than centimetres for measuring human height. But that might be my British bias.)
Hi there ! Machato dev here.

Honestly, this is my first macOS app and I'm a bit out of ideas when it comes to performance. If anyone has tehcnical knowledge about SwiftUI and how I could improve performance, please do contact me ! (contact@machato.app)

My experience has been that the SwiftUI Profiler shows that almost all processor time is spent deep inside SwiftUI/AppKit primitives, despite there being close to no updates to view properties.

I'm glad HN is enjoying the app despite those issues. I promise I'm doing my best !
This is simply not true as materials don't disappear.
I don't understand why these monitors are so expensive. I've been using a 55" 8k TV as my main monitor for years and paid less than USD 1000 for it new. Recently I saw a similar deal for a 8k tv again, so making panels at 8k and shipping them around the world at around USD 1000 is certainly still possible, but the Dell 8k is 4000+ and the 6k is 2300+.

Using a tv as a monitor has downsides (Only HDMI, doesn't detect inputs automatically etc) but having 55" of retina screen real estate is such a great experience that I'm sticking with it. The same panel sold as a PC monitor with proper inputs (and maybe a matte screen) would be ideal.
