Just a blog running on my Phorge instance. I want to write more about what I'm doing :-)

If the point of the article is that the two profiles are linked in a way the author doesn't like, then the headline should just say that.

As written, it seems to be completely wrong.
I think there is just not enough research on DNB and eye exercises. For example, doing a one-arm pull-up sounds absolutely insane to most people, yet it's possible. We only know it's possible because people train in gymnastics their entire lives with coaches focusing on it. Afaik, no one is doing the same for DNB.
Ask HN: Crossword Scanner Site/App?
I want to solve crosswords that appear in my local daily newspaper (physical) -- but prefer doing them on an online tool like the NYT crossword that makes it easy to enter / overwrite our answers.

Is there a tool or app that i can use to snap a picture of the printed crossword & clues and "import" it into an app? Thanks
It absolutely does - if you know meta is buying you know they can afford way way way more than some random company so you can charge more
Courts below a circuit also pay attention to other circuits. If there is no ruling in their circuit a judge will cite the other circuit(s) in their ruling. (they can go either way, but they make it clear they considered it and why they think the other circuits are right/wrong) Rarely a judge will cite a different circuit and go against their own circuit, but this is very rare (either the judge will point out substantial differences from the case the circuit ruled on and those differences mean the ruling shouldn't apply - this is likely to be appealed and if the higher court remains firm it is a black mark on the lower judge; or the judge will point out the law changed and so the ruling isn't valid anymore unless the higher court rules it unconstitutional which of course then lower judge cannot do)
If nothing else, Deno certainly kept Node.js on its toes. We have package to single binary, module and process security policies, native fetch. Not sure if these would have been implemented without some competition.
You can opt out of them. I'm fine with them, although they tend to be comically wrong.
It’s just running on the shared meta infrastructure which is built to handle that scale
Thanks! raylib was originally created to teach gamedev programming basis to young arts students, I tried to keep it as simple as possible but still focused on code writing and able to learn low-level concepts.
I didn't know this was true until a neckbeard got some closeups of a yoga girl doing yoga in a public area. He wasn't hiding it either, he was outright vocal about what he was doing.

Beta AF, but it was interesting to think that if recording in a public park was legal, what else is legal.
I love this one. We’ve all missed something plain as day at some point. I pride myself on RTFM before I start working with something, but I’ve earned this medal a few times.

Can we also start handing out achievements to repos and/or orgs?

I have a few where “Clear As Molasses” is a good one for the README: “Documents something useful in an entirely opaque manner.” (Edit: Maybe requiring you read the code to understand what the README failed to articulate about something basic?)

Friends and Family won't be churning out grist for the mill anywhere near as fast as Facebook needs. Instagram has just as many loudmouth influencers as elsewhere, they just don't get screenshotted like tweets do. This will change that.
The internet is going to become bedlam and madness drowning in the noise of auto generated content.

This is just the beginning of the unfolding of an enormous set of unexpected consequences of AI.

FYI,I have written extensively on other disruptions that are likely coming

"We had hoped technology would replace monotonous tasks while leaving us more time for creative exploration. Instead we are getting exactly the opposite. It is replacing what humans love to do. Previously it had been thought that creativity would be the area untouchable by machines. Ironically, it seems to currently be one of AI’s most successful areas."

> Just don't understand how one could be convinced these days of the fundamental conceit that even a properly profitable company is necessarily going to provide good things for people downstream, or for society in general.

if one has worked in a number of business it should become fairly obvious that good products and good revenue are orthogonal phenomena (sometimes they align of course)

> What is the argument for that in general again?

i think the general conceit is that bad or good product, someone is paying and they are getting some kind of value so who is anyone to say its good or bad for society?

> the idea that companies with a self interest in profit will reliably help people or the world

wasn't this idea put forth strongly by milton freidman and the chicago school - "greed is good" [1] - because more economic activity rises all...? i have to admit intuitively it sounds good even if its probably b.s [2]

> It just does not at all feel rational, its like everyone in the world is dreaming.

well, at least some economists anyways....

I basically treat all conversations like they are being recorded. Privacy is dead, laws are just bandaids.
linkedin profiles arent verified by the companies itself.
By reviews i meant like a rating or something and also the verified salary.

I guess this is more useful for Smaller firms.
I was wracking my brain trying to place where I'd seen this before — thanks!
I’m curious - have you used SOLID? Either as a developer or a consumer?

I found myself struggling with Linked Data for quite some time now, and I have struggled with the idea that perhaps part of the problem with adoption of Linked Data is existing mental interia of RMDBS or other systems.
American refrigerators are usually as big as a one bedroom apartment in Berlin, so I assume 1000$ isn't too unrealistic for a fridge in the US.
"science would be taught through four contexts - the Earth system, biodiversity, food, energy and water, and infectious diseases."

Where's the semicolon?
So doing a DoS attacks from a single machine is fine, because "your servers can handle that"? Really? Of course GitHub can handle this, but if the sole purpose is to see where's the limit, you're stressing our servers and wasting our resources for nothing. I'd ban you no questions asked. Go test perf/scalability issues on someone else's live site.
Composition is king.

The standard library defines some decent interfaces already around HTTP handling and SQL calls. Most libraries are built to integrate with them. Then interfaces like io.Reader and io.Writer mean you can pretty much use anything to read requests and write responses.

This means that usually you're composing libraries and some application code together, rather than building everything on top of some jack of all trades framework. You get to choose the best tool for each job.
This likely varies from department to department. If grades truly didn’t matter, it’s simpler for professors to adopt a lenient curve.

If they do not make the grading lenient - it’s for a reason.
I have to say changing to obsidian has been great.

1. there are opensource tools to convert from evernote to obsidian so it Just Works [tm] and you don't lose anything.

2. My docs are now in markdown in a normal filesystem so it's easy for me to back them up, sync them, have everything work on different OSs etc

3. I choose to pay for obsidian sync because I want to fund them but you don't have to

4. Community plugins are awesome. For example I just got done editing my "Linear Algebra Cheat sheet" which is full of Latex equations. It looks beautiful, if I want to jump into vim to edit I can but editing in obsidian works fine also.
For this reason I decided to give up Instagram completely -- my account was flagged for whatever reason that I cannot possibly understand, and I would rather not use the service than give them my selfie
There is no need to imply when we have data. Building nuclear takes forever.
Sony tried hard to mismanage too, especially around cross platform play. It's why I was glad I stuck with the Xbox.
Laws that make something legal or not conditional on a hypothetical that hasn't happened yet are kind of lowsy. It's like the stand your ground one's where you can just say you believed your life was in danger.
What would you like to do with PHP/Laravel that isn't unit testable? Laravel is, from my experience, written in a way that specifically makes testing of most things very easy.
Azure blob storage took me by surprise when I had to load a custom VHD. My experience with AWS/EC2/S3 led me to think it would take half a day or longer.

Turns out, there's no transformation layers or anything. You upload the image using a special tool, it saturates your uplink for a few minutes, and before you can brew some more coffee the VM will be booting up.
At least withdraw the initial investment.
Overly pedantic programmers always have trouble conforming to a framework where compromises are made in ways they can't get behind. For every one of these, there a thousands of programmers who are very successful with the same framework.
Sorry I don't understand. It allows to export to many formats, including markdown:

GitHub is very much able to handle one person doing this. Doesn't matter if you had bad intentions or you were just ignorant to bad side effects.
We developed a sensor enabled flooring material that replaces the fiberglass structural layer in typical commercial flooring and it turns the floor into a massive readable surface. We use that to create a "spatial API" for applications to be developed for the built world. Our most popular application to date has been one that we developed with the Department of Energy where buildings that have our floor sensors integrate real time occupancy data to the building management system and it intelligently controls the HVAC in real time in order to reduce waste. We typically save 30-35% of a building's energy waste/cost all without impeding on occupant privacy or comfort.
Another interesting application under development is using the sensors as a way to predict fall events in senior living environments through the ongoing analysis of a patient's gait
IG is built in Python (which is why this is also) and it seems to scale fine.

>Wisconsin governors have expansive partial veto power, and Evers got creative with his use of it in this budget. He crafted the four-century school aid extension by striking a hyphen and a "20" from a reference to the 2024-25 school year. The increase of $325 per student is the highest single-year increase in revenue limits in state history.
I just very recently started working on a VR game in Godot and the setup was very easy. They also have a project where common parts such as teleporting are implemented, which I didn't try yet, but which seems cool.
Can you give a concrete example of what you mean by “Laravel is a collection of anti-pattern?” I would really love to understand what you are referring to.
I agree Laravel is a bit too much magic, but I’ve found Eloquent to be a top notch ORM. It hasn’t really failed me in any way, so I’d be interested to hear what you specifically disliked about it.
There is a reason HR departments generally just verify past employment. It's a recipe for lawsuits and abuse.
After trying Joplin (for several years), I finally decided on Obsidian instead.

It is the better product and has a better 3rd-party support.

It's so odd that comments like this actually still get made on Hacker News; this is SUCH a solved problem, and yet people still make it likely because it pays someones bills, despite being trivially easy to solve.

Anyway, syncthing, among others.
I am an IC and I outlevel my manager and probably make more than my skip who is at the same level (I have some significant extra performance bonus equity grants), so no.

Obviously managers have more direct reports, the definition of an IC is that they have zero direct reports, besides maybe a temporary intern.

At any competent tech company, moving to management results in no immediate change to compensation. It is a transition, not a promotion.
+1 to this. It is how I got “promoted”. And I am hesitant to call it a promotion, it is more like an entirely different job role compared to being an IC.

They just want your government id. It makes their data set more valuable to advertisers. So the extort it out of you after you're partly invested in the platform. The security thing is just cover.

That is why they often demand your phone number later too. If the demanded it during signup you'd know the deal you were making and would probably back out. So they do it after you're invested so you have something to lose instead of them.
> Alphabetical order wasn’t quite enough, But people directing the work that produces the coefficients are doing considerably more creative work than that.

I agree it’s more effort but the metric isn’t effort so I disagree that qualifies the coefficients as copyrightable. The SHA256 hash of a movie isn’t copyrightable even though the movie itself was.

> No one requires complete creative control

That’s a strawman, there are requirements for creative control. You don’t own copyright to your normal dumps, but you can get copyright from looking down and selecting to take a picture. That’s the low bar for a creativity requirement, but it exists.
Thank you for sharing this. I have nothing but admiration for your resolve to turn your previous experience into a superpower.
> why do people need different walled gardens for (micro)blogs, pictures, and video

10 years ago, Facebook was where young people would post PG-rated pics (family members in the network). IG would be where they'd post themselves acting stupid. 20 years ago, they'd have used Facebook for this, because it was restricted to university students, no real risk of leakage to the outside world.
It matters for the validity of the experiment, yes. Bear in mind, the chances of the experiment being real were astronomically small, as university professors are not normally in the business of torturing members of the public. As there were (iirc) small rewards given for taking part, the rational thing to do is follow the instructions. This seems like an inherent problem for attempting to study order-following in a lab.
Raylib is excellent, I've been working on it with the Rust bindings to build a little game. Very good API and awesome performance. Reminds me of Microsoft's XNA Framework.
What's your opinion on this?

25 years is quite a common timeframe for declassification. I would assume that's quite reasonable timeframe for journalistic standards as well.

> more fuzzy because there is no intent

I agree. DoS is an attack, so without intent it is fuzzy. But I think it is pretty descriptive, so it's okay. I know exactly what self-ddos means instantly (flooding your own service, without malicious intent).

I think it's kind of a limitation with English or the term ddos. If it really is only used it for intent to attack, it becomes less useful of a word IMO.
I don't believe that people use buggy whips as an analogy for entire economies being destroyed, just individual industries. But fair enough, and there certainly was that expansion orders of magnitude larger than the replaced industries when the automobile proliferated.
Actually, the right question to ask is "what kind of manager would you like to be?"

Management comes in two flavors :

* technical management (think "architect" or "lead dev") is about expertise, experience, higher technical vision. You surely have some points to make here, not because you know the last tech fad, but because you know that every fad will fade in 6 or 12 months, and that only good engineering last

* team management is a COMPLETLY different beast: you won't work on code but you will work on humans and how to help them to fulfill their mission in the company. It's about psychology, finance, sociology, politics... Think budget, reporting, forecasting... It's really interesting too but has nothing to do with development.
If that's your interest (and it's a real focus change), then you can leverage every experience as a technical team leader on some part of system, and show how you improve THE TEAM (and how that improvement lead to a PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT)

Be very cautious: you should consider this as a career change. A lot of bad managers are managers that went down this road for wrong reasons (money, status...) and not because they want to develop the human side of corporation

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman dismisses Elon Musk’s economic predictions
Gitjournal used to make a lot of stuff (including things like rendering math equations) subscription-only, which was sufficiently off-putting.

I just looked at it again, and I think they've gotten rid of the subscription and made it a one-time "pro" purchase. That's better than subscription I guess. The only added advantage I see is that syncing with git is built in.
I have somewhat blogged about this, though I realize the idea may be incomplete.

I welcome any tactful feedback. Also I have no idea how to initiate such an idea.
So is alcohol.

Put it like this... programmer in language X expends the effort to write a well-typed codebase and is rewarded with both reliability and performance. Programmer in Python expends the effort to write a well-typed codebase and only receives half the reward. Kinda tragic you have to admit.

I'm guessing he'll (Wes Bos) bring it up on Syntax.fm, the podcast he does with Scott Tolinski. They've talked about this site before and I would be surprised if they don't bring this up and discuss how/why it failed and any plans for changes to avoid it in the future. As it's a little hobby site for him, not sure how much in the way of resources or money he really throws at it.

Ah I see what you mean and I agree it’s possible to achieve immutable infrastructure in that sense.
> although ensuring that only a single client is writing to a database at any time is (mostly) left to the application

Sounds like trouble.
It's the games. It always was the games.

I got the NES for Super Mario Bros. I got the Playstation for Tekken. Many others got it for Final Fantasy VII.

If the only game the Playstation had was Tekken I still would have bought it. Sega just never had a hit game that I wanted. Marketing and the hardware didn't matter to me. It was the games.
People also associate Meta with "metaverse", aka failure.
Yeah, ^ this is what convinced me to switch to it. It just produces reasonable, compliant markdown files, and displays them. Most markdown-folder apps handle its output just fine, it's just a better experience.

I like open source a lot, but for my data I much prefer interoperable. I've watched too many projects and companies die and take my stuff with them.
Thanks! Glad you are learning with it! That was the original objective of the library! Yeah, I learn about Tsoding recently and saw some of the videos! Really nice!
About the issue with raygui you comment, it seems related to calling some raygui function before raylib InitWindow(), an OpenGL context is required to call rlSetTexture()... ok, I see you got to a similar conclusion, yeah, it could be that raygui as a separate library can not access the raygui library OpenGL context.

My recommendation is to compile raygui together with raylib, afair, the default raylib Makefile includes an option to add ragui module into raylib on compilation.
