> You can't solve social problems with technology.

Sure we can. Every time people make subversive technology, it literally changes the world and its power structures. Computers are the ultimate example of subversive technology, they can make a mockery of courts and police using nothing but mathematics. It's really no wonder they want to control computing by only allowing us to run signed software, it's too subversive otherwise.

Every time new technology shows up, they have to increase their tyranny in order to maintain the same level of control they used to enjoy. Just assume anyone using such technology is guilty? Sounds like tyranny to me. The next step is to get everyone to use the technology so they can't just assume that. At some point we'll find their limits. We'll end up with either an uncontrollable population or a totalitarian government.
Alienware is just owned by Dell now and seems to put out overpriced poorly built chunky machines that target gamers with too much money. Razer and Falcon NW might be better from the chassis design side, or Sager and Clevo from the OEM value side.

The Alienware laptop I had for a week or two a few years ago was the worst laptop I've ever used. Noisy and hot and expensive and poor ergonomics and just all around unimpressive, poor hardware masked by a once respected brand name.
Fair. My comment was based on Wired’s history of tech guides being pretty useless based on product placement fees received from various companies.

Although I have no evidence, my hunch is if Amazon paid Wired, they would have positive coverage in Wired’s reviews.
This strikes me as a false dilemma.

What's troubling at face value is that the setup nudges us towards the all too common deceit of "past observations beget future outcomes" without saying anything meaningful about forward-looking risk likelihood and consequence.

The architect may think it best to assume the risk; the engineer, control it; the city planner, avoid it; the business executive, transfer it. Perhaps the risk itself lacks specificity. Perhaps mitigation incorporates a bit from all major stakeholders.

Surely there are other options to consider that have yet to be dealt.
Xinerama came with the price of not supporting mixed DPI. It was logically a single screen, just with irregular shape, so all screens had to be same DPI (and bit-depth, but that's not an issue nowadays).
Being in character all the time isn't really an excuse when you start suing your critics. It's not "your character" doing that, it's you.
Can you explain better what you want then? Because I understood your description as a tool that detects when a code change doesn't match semver versioning without a human having to annotate the changes as breaking or anything. And then shows what to correct.

Which is exactly what cargo-semver-checks does.

Like, the first line of the README after the name is "Lint your crate API changes for semver violations." - it quite specifically works with the actual crate API, not commit names, comments or any other human annotation.

It also will show you what broke semver and how, so you can fix it easily. And as the author stated, the goal is to suggest the correct version in the future.
What reasons does the Tweet give? I don't have a Twitter account and keep getting asked to log in before I can read the full Thread.
Robust enough to keep working, so why replace it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
> Ukraine has lost over 12,000 troops just recapturing 50 square miles of territory.

This numbers dont seem like they exist in reality.

> Bloodshed needs to end

I agree! Russia must leave Ukraines 1991 borders and never come back, im sure you agree with me as you are anti-war.

> Sad day to see HN is now solidly pro war.

I think its less pro war and more defending yourself from a regime that seems to want to wipe your existence off the map.

Capitulating to Hitler didn't help and capitulating to Putin won't help.
I wasn't aware you needed a license to code.
Isn't the claimed "truth" based on an appeal to a more intuitive notion of truth than a formal model-relative one?

The Godel sentence for some Formal Axiomatic System asserts, by way of numerical encoding, its own unprovability in that FAS, and since it in fact cannot be proven in the FAS it is "true" in the sense that it asserts (via its numerical encoding) something which is in fact the case, i.e. just the ordinary sense of "true".
I would not consider LI to be a fun/dorky social media platform. At least for me, it's mostly forced positivity with a side dish of scams and a bunch of recruiter spam.

Remember you can hibernate[1] your LI account if you want. It can spare you the nonsense while still allowing you to easily return to the platform when you're out looking for work.

There is no magic, they are illusions, good ones, but not magic.
4. Nausea is apparently caused by latency between head movements and updates of the visual field, which they've kept very low on the Vision Pro by means of that R1 chip.
well, the issue is modern nextcloud vs owncloud is not what it was 5 years aog.
nextcloud is still a buggy php app (without swoole) and owncloud is a completely rewritten in golang.

> Why say crypto if it's not analyzed?

w3m would be a good fit for this description.
Context is key here, but as a thought experiment- the most profitable businesses can hire with effectively no limit if they choose. FAANG isn't a great proxy for that but it'll do - assume their hiring bar is "can produce excellent code". Then what? Do you just allow everyone to heads down code? Principals and staff engineers rarely contribute directly to features because in their org context, with their expected level of staff - code is cheap and easy. Orchestrating decision making is very hard, and aligning technical to product outcomes is hard. How often are these businesses with huge budgets routinely criticised for poor releases? Yet their overall value remains enormous, because their cores are money printers.

Being an expert in the domain of writing code is relatively easy. Being a domain expert of your businesses value and the tradeoffs its making is very difficult. Just because people like the writing code part of the job doesn't make it the end game for the most valuable skillset.
honestly explain to me, if it's work as perfect as you seen to say, why i never heard about it outside of openbsd, why any distro adoped it to resolve it Xorg problems
xpra saves the day when you have to go over a DSL line. If you have a direct LAN connection it may not absolutely required but it still helps.

RDP works great in LAN (win-win win-linux) and ok over DSL.

Plain ssh/X11 over DSL is a disaster but may be passable on a LAN.

RDP is the better protocol here and pipewire mimics it (I think) which is the correct thing to do. X11 was designed for throughput and not latency and that kills any desktop interactivity.

As somebody that my job depends on it I don't worry too much about the future of display networking. I think we would be ok at the end.
Ask HN: How to start a fabless chip company targeting a modern process node?
Let's say I have an idea for a digital chip that requires a modern semiconductor node (≤10 nm).

It seems that the only semiconductor manufacturers that offer such nodes are TSMC, SMIC, Intel, Samsung. Are there others?

To assess viability of my idea, I may need to get the process specifications (design rules, defect models, ...), transistor models and standard cell specifications. Does the manufacturer publish these on their website or do you have to ask?

What tools are needed to verify a chip design on a level lower than logic? Which proprietary ones?

Is the GDSII format still used in these modern nodes?

Would you like to recommend any books that cover specifically modern technology processes and designing for them?

How to get funding after I get promising simulation results of my design?

In which country do I incorporate? My preference is for English-speaking countries and little legal obstacles for doing my own work as a non-citizen. My home country is already ruled out.
It's strange that Geller got so much pushback. The only truly negative thing he did was suing Randi.

I think Derren Brown has more believers than Geller for his mentalist acts, incorporates "dark demonic forces" and in general messes far more with the minds of his audience. Yet hardly any pushback from Penn and Teller.

Regarding the billet work: Yes, he also goes in shopping malls and "guesses" the correct amount of coins people have in their wallets. The easiest explanation is that he pickpockets them, counts the cash, puts the wallet back and then approaches his target.

The Smallest Nintendo DS ROM (2006)
Being poor in a poor country I had an Cyrix 486SLC from around 2017 until 2000. Even if it had 486 in the name, it was just a faster 386SX.

Beside having fun programming mostly under DOS and exploring any kind of software I could get my hand on (getting my hands on meant going to computer lab at school or Uni and copying stuff to floppy disks), I've tried installing Windows 95 on it, but was kind of slow so I reverted to DOS. The slowness could be in part due to me trying to compress everything with Drivespace, because the HDD was tiny.
I think it's mostly about signal to noise ratio.

Plenty of shotgun recruiters (probably working for agencies with unrealistic targets) find some keyword to latch onto and go full shotgun approach.

I have had _for_the_same_profile_ people asking me to do contract work for: PCB design, FPGA design, DSP algorithms, Regulatory Affairs, Computer Vision.

I can assure I do not have that breadth of experience.

You've read my profile and found my past experience relevant for a contract gig or FTE? Great!

You are keyword searching and spamming, yeah that is really not high-value and a bit of a time sink for the people getting contacted.
> resolution of the radar data is too low

SRTMv3 is 30m/px covering latitudes ±60. The earliest release was 90m/px. There was also release that was 30m within the United States and 90m elsewhere.

> steep grazing angles from the radar not generating much shadow

Mountain shadows are actually a problem! Some releases contain voids where there was no radar return, particularly around the Himalayas. There's a body of publications on void filling the SRTM data, if you're interested.
> We disagree, but that's our individual prerogative.

It's not our individual prerogative. I again point to the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> >"punishment"

> .. seems to be limited to having to deal with other, random strangers on the Internet, and whose competence you are yet to divulge from limited interactions...

HN does have moderators.

> Not even Apple can escape this fact, as we can see time and again with their low-effort, poor quality releases lately

I blame upper management for that, i.e., Federighi and Cook.
So, the next Apple Store will be around 4.5 times further than the next Walmart, on average.
> I think it is because Linux users tend to be more familiar with their software than users of other OSes.

But they really don't. They might have familiarized at one point of time, but that snapshot is not where the world is at now. They cannot really expect that the world around them will stop developing, so their know-how and hacks stay current.

It is still this, all over again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTdUmlGxVo0. 12 years later and we still argue in circles.

Maybe they've found that most of the time the customer is mis-informed and doesn't really know what they want. I don't know, but I expect they've got more data than you or I.
Yes, the controller consumes an instance of ChannelWriter<T> where T is a job type, and the service consumes an instance of ChannelReader<T>. With basic dependency injection, this means you have to set up & register different channels with different types if you need to coordinate with multiple services, but I think that's a small price to pay.

Having a job class with a type parameter for its encapsulated workload saves you from having to actually write different job classes, at least. It's trivial to write a generic extension method that takes the encapsulated type as a parameter, sets up the channel with your preferred options, and registers the reader & writer for DI. Then you have a one-liner for adding this kind of channel support to your projects.
I talked to an HR person yesterday and she said she hasn’t read a cover letter in years. So probably safe to write them with Chat GPT then and I wouldn’t expect too much from it
Excellent - is it possible to add advice re reps/sets?
You're right. The US isn't a democracy, it's predominantly an oligarchy/republic. And as matter of fact, no national government is purely a democracy (because a pure democracy at such a scale also doesn't work, because of how bureaucratic it would be). Most governments are hybrids to varying degrees. The way I categorized the governments here was just to show how things work, nothing prevents it from being a spectrum.
I guess not (honestly don't know) but if there aren't then that seems to be more evidence in favor the idea that American devs are more productive, not less.
dont guilt trip me (and yourself) please. u sound close like the 'dont copy that floppy' brigade. the developers of mx linux themselves are proud that they dont explicitly ask for donations. its unspoken, and anonymous giving is best. everyone else interested simply benefits and when they are benefited enough, they perhaps will contribute. everything cant be laid out in black and white and in advance. there is a strong unspoken assumption that good can result out of helping yourself and others with Free software.
We had ubiquitous fast and free local restaurant delivery in NYC for decades before these apps showed up. Before cell phones even.

Every hallway had a pile of menus. It’s not really better now and killing these apps wouldn’t make it worse.
Defense in Depth: Protecting Against Future Exploits
This is a very interesting point, the vulnerability scan tool used on the article is this one: https://github.com/anchore/grype-db/blob/main/DEVELOPING.md and here you can see how it works: https://anchore.com/blog/build-your-own-grype-database
As you can see there is a database specifically designed for Debian to take in charge the naming convention.
Their website is very branding based. Pretty visuals. Headline "Impossible. Maybe". Cutting edge technology.

Product page is a video editor. A photo filter thing. A personal trainer phone program. Then some animations about how it's all very high tech.

Seems a bit of a disconnect between presentation and product to me. On the other hand they've raised ~400M and have a revenue of ~70M for ~400 employees, so it's possible that ostentatious marketing over uninteresting software works better than great software with a partial readme.
I started on front end work early in my career (mid nineties), moved to full stack and now write C full time for embedded (STM32) and Linux (RPI & Nvidia). I've essentially been digging deeper and can't seem to put the shovel down.

I don't think I would have appreciated it at different times in my career, but for me, right now, I'm loving every minute of it.

The biggest issue I've faced (beyond the obvious issues of getting anything to work at all), is how to organize the concepts.

The "Data-Oriented Design" folks have had a huge impact on that. Specifically, talks from Andrew Kelley, Mike Acton and the book by R. Fabian.

The second thing is registers. Just toss the HAL mess, pick up the Reference Manual and start poking registers. It's so much more enjoyable (and reliable) for firmware work.

I don't know about job opportunities as I'm running my own hardware business, but if you're feeling pulled in this direction, I highly recommend taking a closer look.
> What a crap business model these companies have if they rely on haggling over legal loopholes to operate.

They will be fine. It's the consumers and delivery drivers who will mostly pay for it.
Straight to the point without marketing bullshit. Excellent execution.
Honestly this is one of the best monetization schemes I can think of for YouTube. It's an advantage that doesn't take away anything for non-premium users, and it improves the main functionality of the service. I sincerely hope they can do more like this instead of increasing ad lengths for non-premium users!
One of the downsides of the C++ approach is that it makes it more cumbersome to make changes in your code. If you for instance make a trivial change where you change a variable from a stack-allocated object accessed directly via .foo() into a heap-allocated one accessed via ->foo(), you have to either manually change all .foo()s into ->foo()s or do some sort of weird work-around, such as making a separate variable that's a reference to the heap allocated object so that you can keep using those .foo()s. This is all relatively pointless busywork, which also pollutes the commit history with relatively meaningless changes.
> I thought people were still arguing whether you have to open source your whole company if you dare change a single line of AGPL code.

Part of that argument is just a few companies' fear of contributing anything back, not that the license is so wide.
I don't even care about the noise but I would want a mechanical drive because I suspect it will last longer. Most of my hard drives from the early 90s still work. When they fail, they fail gracefully--just mark a few sectors as bad, maybe replace a part of the head. I view most non-mechanical hard drives these days the same as cd-roms, usb sticks, etc., they can't be relied on for long-term storage.
https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/pull/6755 - its only for published binary builds.
If you don't have any axioms, the statements that are true in every model are exactly the tautologies (by definition). Usually though, one is interested in a particular set of axioms, typically ZFC. Then "every model" implicitely means "every model of ZFC", so "true" statements are the statements that are true in every model of ZFC, or equivalently by Gödel's completeness theorem, the statements that are provable from the axioms ZFC (and only ZFC). As for examples of such statements, well, that's virtually all mathematics. (The use of exotic axioms is quite specialized within mathematics.)
To be clear before I say anything: I think the entire food delivery app business model is bad for all parties involved and that these companies are bad actors.

But … I don’t think the cities are properly accounting for the ease of using multiple apps? If a driver is logged into Uber and Doordash and GrubHub on 3 phones waiting for a delivery they probably should not be accruing $17.96*3 per hour at that time. But it sounds like they might be able to under this new law.
I do this by writing stuff into my notes, but yes! Oftentimes this even improves the solution you were trying to explain. Sure `poetry lock --no-update` fixed it, but why was it updating in the first place...? and I go back to discover an open issue in PyTorch 2.0.1, so I can solve the problem for good by skipping that release.
Do you know if the contamination of fruits/vegetables is due to the contact with earth (i.e. superficial and could theoretically be rinsed off or something) or is it actually "ingested" by the plant?
>I wasn't trying to make an argument. I'm just really tired of clueless mansplaining internet randos talking down to experts, as if they'd never heard of Xcode build warnings, which is absurd and insulting.

There are people who don't know who an account handle they reply to is, or their expert status and history, in order to show the appropriate reverence. Some wont even recognize the initials "pg" they might be replying to.

I believe this is an insightful observation but that it underestimates the difference in strength of the connectiont between instagram and threads compared to most other pair of social networks (including instagram and facebook)

By this I mean that the choice between threads being its own app and being a separate tab inside the instagram app was techical/political.

Just the fact that you cannot delete your threads account without destroying your instagram account!

They are a single network usable in two apps.

To me the headline is similar to "The new instagram web interface has 100M users" which would actually sound more surprising
I’ve been using the beta for some weeks, and it’s fantastic. snappy fast, and makes me feel in control.
