I also collect these constructs. It's an obscure science; one with a founder; C. Wright Mills. I'll honor his work by using his term: "Intellectual Craftsmanship". This is covered in his book, "The Sociological Imagination." It appears as the appendix of the book, and a website can be found at the site below. You will also find in Google results that there are multiple courses of this name in sociological studies.

There are resources such as https://collegecost.ed.gov/net-price to help with the information.

College prices are about as real as hospital prices. Sure, some outliers literally pay that much, but the vast majority receive a discounted price for various reasons. When you factor in those discounts, the cost inflation is 2.5x instead of 17x as the article suggests. It's more than a forgettable idiosyncrasy. It's "how it works" and if the author of the article doesn't mention it, they're either so ignorant as to not be worth reading or they're being dishonest.

I thought it was important to give that context.

American higher Ed is often about prestige and branding. The pricing strategy is similar to luxury goods.
It’s 2023 and I still see lots of comments in this thread asking things “who is still good”, “who hasn’t sold out yet”, etc. etc.

How many more years need to go by before we all acknowledge the truth? We are not guaranteed fixed pricing and we do not “own” anything in this environment. Legal terms and marketing “guarantees” are all as malleable as the code that backs the product. This is a fundamental reality of working on the web. Every time I see someone angrily copy and paste a company quote of some kind, I chuckle a little because that’s someone who still believes that companies all mean what they say all the time.

Companies mean what they say today to make money today, that’s it. As soon as today’s messaging no longer satisfies the profit motive, everything changes. The most successful companies are the ones that are able to raise prices without upsetting people’s expectations.
Yes, we did a test post a year ago without a product...

Life in an authoritarian hellhole almost by definition means technology won't save you. If they can haul you off when you're walking down the street, who cares whether your stuff is encrypted? They'll make something up.

Even if you're innocent, they'll make something up. I lived for a year in one of those authoritarian hellholes and in that time knew two people who were arrested and hauled from station to station til someone paid a bribe- these weren't the dissidents either, just some guys. The dissident was stabbed to death on his doorstep.

Encryption is good to save us from marketing, from megacorps making our lives hell. Laws and norms constrain the rest.

> it doesn't have to be something "amazing and world changing", but it should be something that makes a positive impact on the society.

I agree, that's why I was asking. What the commenter meant makes a pretty large difference.
He figured it all out correctly. Somebody hire this guy for a legit business.

This is the problem with a true blockchain-based distributed exchange. It makes money only from fees. All the exchange does is match orders locked in for a time by smart contracts and tell both sides "go". The exchange operator doesn't get their hands on customer funds, so they don't get to become a big company like FBX.

What makes it "chemical"? Does the refinement process chemically alter the molecular structure of the lipid molecules?
I know that Firecracker does not let you bind mount volumes, but QEMU does. So, we changed to QEMU from Firecracker. If you run the workloads in Kubernetes, you just have to change a single value in a yaml file to change the runtime.

I would be scared to let unknown persons use QEMU that bind mounts volumes as that is a huge security risk. Firecracker, I think, was designed from the start to run un-sanitized workloads, hence, no bind mounting.

> Some parts will be buggy though, like face detection, or memories.

Frankly, I have had issues with Google Photos already. For me, it simply stopped recognizing faces since last October. I tried disabling and then enabling face recognition multiple times, but to no avail. It starts recognition from scratch, but only for photos before October. Writing to the support didn't help (although I didn't expect it to anyway), so alternatives like this one are becoming more and more tempting.

I'm already self-hosting a bunch of things, but facial recognition (when it was working) was much better in Google Photos and a major reason why I'm paying for additional storage.
Why are they making derivatives of a work that nobody cared about? If someone else comes along and makes a profitable derivative, seems like they have added something that the original author just didn't have (Better story, Better marketing, etc)

I don't get it.

The data mentioned in your link can also be collected from a phone connected to the vehicle. What is the problem then?

Does the author think that just because it's running on an ECU it will have unrestricted access to all vehicle data?? Does he not understand that a modern vehicle contains of multiple isolated networks??
I’m working on building something similar.

From what I can tell, Immich, Ente, and PhotoPrism are the best of the batch when it comes to open source photo storage and management. They are all good, but it depends on what you’re looking for.

Personally, I want: E2E encryption, on-device face recognition, and the ability to self-host as well as a paid option for people who don’t want to manage their own server. The existing options each hit about 90% of that, but it’s a different 90% for each one.
Yes it counts if its an internet money.
Persistence is the default. Maybe you are just using the live environment, instead of actually doing the install?
I will never down vote anything on HN, even if it's a crap comment. Let the good comments rise to the top. However, I noticed I've angered some kind of stalker who will down-vote anything I post, no matter how uncontroversial. What a way to spend your life...

I also upvote comments that are wrong or that I disagree with, if there are interesting replies to that comment. People seem to forget that those will get swept away as well.

In apps using the native UI framework (UIKit), text in images is automatically locally OCR’d and is selectable. Apps built in third party toolkits like Flutter won’t have this, but that can be worked around by taking a screenshot and selecting the text in Photos.

Lens can be used by going to images.google.com or the official Google app. Nothing is stopping the same share sheet flow you mentioned from being possible but for some reason Google hasn’t added a share sheet extension to their iOS app.

Well, Guix started as Nix with established language, and that didn't really made it better.

The Nix language is functional and lazily evaluated, it closely matches how Nix works builds packages, which basically makes it less verbose.

Even if they used python (or python like language like starlark), and then proceed to build an abstractions on top of it, barely documenting the function. Leaving old ones with the new ones, you would still be confused and frustrated needing to look at the source code.

> But I "believed in" them enough to know they were doing things I found interesting and could afford to pay me.

I think "I found interesting" might be not be quite right for most people either. If it's serving a need for the people that pay for it, or you think it can be serving a need if it continues in the direction it's going, I think that's the important part in "believing in it".

I've done work for companies where I was able to convince myself of this for short periods, but eventually had to accept the harm was greater than the good (payday loan companies. Used appropriately they aren't horrible, but they do everything in their power to make sure they aren't used appropriately), and that's when even though the work was interesting it became hard to stomach, for me at least.

Ultimately, if the service or product you're working to support is one people appreciate and come away appreciating afterwards, I think most people won't have a problem "believing in it". It might not be interesting though, so it's entirely possible believing in it isn't sufficient to keep people working there in itself.
I honestly can't tell if you're impressed we've measured the gravitational interaction of something that small, or staggered by our inability to measure a feature of things so large that you can easily hold them in your hand.

Almost like there's no free lunch. I don't see quantum computing ever really taking off without a fundamental breakthrough in our understanding of physics.

The notion that you need cutting edge books to educate yourself is poorly informed.

There are countless well written resources for every aspect of a good education available for free online. They are often not as easy to find as their well-advertised modern equivalents.

Saying there aren’t good free textbooks is like saying there aren’t good free classics on Project Gutenberg. It’s ignorant.

When communicating through a middleman you always lose information or it gets distorted. There is definitely value in talking to upper levels directly.
This situation just doesn't seem that likely. How often has an author with absolutely no sales whatsoever on their first few books then gone on to release a best seller? If their early works are profitable at all, they would renew the copyright for the relatively low rate and still be holding it when their new bestseller comes along.
Got the announcement on Friday: 4+ days a week at office, people who commute 50km or more should be 3+ days, others that want to remain remote can switch to being consultants. There will be some exceptions, but overall we are all coming back in some capacity.
Worst thing is that the current office space does not support this many people being at office at the same time.

I'm pretty sure if you can figure out how to arrange the many millions of dollars of funding and hire the various domain experts required to get a cutting-edge (or even last-gen) chip off the ground, your questions would get answered automatically.

Which is not to say they're not interesting questions, but the answers will not be actionable information without the aforementioned money and people.

Young one, let me tell you that as you gain responsibility (employment, find a home, start a family)...your gaming days are as good as over. It becomes a casual infrequent hobby at best.

As for a paradigm shift, we've had AR for 10 years now. With the exception of navigating a city by foot, there's zero successful mainstream use cases.

There's not a single VR game that has appealed to the masses so much as to buy a headset. Not one.

It's expensive, inconvenient, anti-social and it doesn't stick.

Save Image => highlight text in the saved image from the native Photos app => click "Translate". No third-party apps involved. All done locally too, no need for internet connection even (after the image is saved, ofc).
100% agree.

The more specific you get about a diet, the more specific you need to get about the person eating it. So long as most dietary advice is designed and tested at population scale, it's going to be fuzzy and inconclusive.

Most oop was designed in the context of desktop gui apps, which are much more complex that web apps imo.

Is-a vs has-a is a lot more clear in context of widgets and windows. It still isn't perfect, most popular gii used inheritance whereas composition would probably be better.

Inheritance ended up as a core component of oop principles when ultimately it is a flawed approach compared to more flexible composition methods.

Liskov substitution was a massive success, classes were an improvement over structs, private vs public was generally a good idea even if the astro architects went nuts with it.

This is such an edge case that it makes me think that maybe copyright isn’t the solution that grandma needs.

Bringing up Alan Kay's definition of OOP is approximately worthless when it comes to discussions of mainstream OOP. Yes, Erlang is "more OOP" than Java by Kay's definition. But that ship has sailed. People will (justifiably) look at you funny if you claim your functional language is OO, and when asked to name an Object Oriented language will say C#, Java, or maybe C++.

That definition is dead. Wish it well, then bid it farewell. "OOP" means "Java" and we can just call Erlang and co "Agent Model".
This is a very good example of the type of revival I'm talking about! There is lots of emotion in this space, which dominates the discussion over science.

Apparently, the host 'tools.aftertheflood.com' is still mapped to GitHub Pages.

Backing out from the CSS file (many thanks!), turns out the top-level web page is still up -- BUT the links to download the zip file font collections DONT WORK.

So you still need to scrape the CSS file to get working links to the individual fonts... (I was going to post those URLs here, but there are 84 of them. Use a command like this to scrape the CSS file:

grep -o "http[^']*" < sparks.css

However, this GitHub Pages site still hosts web pages that show some great examples and links to ObservableHQ notebooks (which also still work, hosted at observablehq.com).

From the perspective of advertisers, this analogy is not applicable. It is important to emphasize that I agree with the notion that tumblr should also have NSFW content. However, advertisers exhibit extreme sensitivity towards their brand being associated with anything even remotely detrimental, and they are inclined to swiftly disassociate themselves without hesitation.

I hope no touch continues to be an option even if Apple adds touchscreens to MacBooks.

When buying a PC laptops I look specifically for models that have a no touch version, because unintentional touches triggering things is annoying and for some reason, in my experience large touch screens almost always either lack antiglare coating or if they have it, it’s so weak that they’re practically mirrors. The antiglare coating on current MacBooks is quite good and I wouldn’t want to trade that for touch… same goes for my matte PC laptop.

You think testing VR apps in a simulator on a laptop is more indicative of the final experience than another VR headset that almost has feature parity?
