Docusign makes it easy to collect lots of signatures from lots of people. That’s the use-case from my POV. 1 signature on 1 doc, use any PDF tool—no problem. When a board needs to approve 4 docs and you need 5 signatures on each, it needs to be easy.

Whether that’s worth Docusign’s pricing or if there’s better alternatives, up to you. But it’s objectively a helpful tool.

Ask HN: Why don’t GitHub readme pages include screenshots?
I frequently come across GitHub projects that don’t include any screenshots and the project will contain UI elements. I’m wondering if there is a reason why so many don’t include screenshots?

For example sidebery[1] didn’t have it. I use it and it’s great but it’s hard to get a sense of what it does Without actually showing a screenshot.

Smart !
There is also "Device Encryption"[1] that is separate from BitLocker and works in any version of Windows 10/11 as long TPM is available (and AFAIK is also turned on by default). BitLocker is only available in the Pro versions.

No. Valve needs them to get approval from Nintendo because Valve is afraid of Nintendo. They are afraid Nintendo might:

1. Start a lawsuit against Valve rather than Dolphin Team as a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation). Valve could then end up spending millions defending itself from the mad tyrant and the best case is it spent millions to confirm it was doing nothing wrong in the first place.

2. Tell all their 3rd party publishers to stop publishing on Steam, in order to continue doing business with them, utterly ruining Steam.

In both these cases, it has nothing to do with legality or the DMCA, which Dolphin Team's own lawyers have explained if you'd just read the article. It has to do with a big bully getting angry if it doesn't get what it wants, and is willing to throw its weight around.
Either way, the conclusion made by the headline is cherry-picked and is misleading for anyone who is concerned about average situations.

From the article:

> The result of Protocol Buffers adoption was an average increase in throughput by 6.25% for responses and 1.77% for requests. The team also observed up to 60% latency reduction for large payloads.

It's very sneaky to describe throughput improvements using average requests/responses (which is what most people are interested in) but then switch to the 'worst case' request/response when describing latency... And doubly sneaky to then use that as the headline of the article.
Per other comments his cancer was in remission for a portion of that 14 months as well.
I'm curious. Had you found emby before plex? Have you've ever tried jellyfin?
It's certainly shady that such high profile and public murders of two of the most influential hip hop artists of all time have led to no arrests, and seemingly no investigation. Maybe the responsible have been murdered themselves, but there should be ample evidence to determine _something_.

Why a search warrant would be helpful almost 30 years later is puzzling. No wonder conspiracy theories are so appealing in this case.
It was tongue in cheek :)

It is the definition of an appeal to authority to quote an authority figure as the final word on some debate. I've been here since before that first comment from pg about this, and no, I don't agree that it's a "fact" that this is "how HN has always worked", and no, there is nothing in the implementation that unambiguously makes downvotes be for disagreement.

But again, I'm not arguing for strict rules that work the way I prefer. I'm saying, this is a community I participate in, and I have my own opinions about how best to participate in it, which aren't necessarily aligned with the people who created the site 15 years ago. Other people are entitled to differing opinions about this, and can use the site how they prefer, but I still have my own opinions and will advocate for them.
I'm not so sure - this is incredibly technical work so it doesn't ring as hollow as it does when McDonald's or whatever claim the same.
> What justification do the e-signature SaaS companies have for their exorbitant prices?

They will defend their digital signature in court.

I was shocked to find these "click here to sign" contracts manage to do it all without an ounce of cryptography, but the fact is lawyers don't need cold hard math, they need a warm body to be a subject matter expert to explain to a jury that unless you're claiming someone else has access to your inbox, you're the one that clicked the button.
I think there's more to that. A proper digital signature requires you to obtain some certificate/key from an authority which you can then use to sign documents (this doesn't even require an image of your physical signature in the document). This proves that it was actually you who signed the document. The document also can't be altered afterwards without rendering the signature invalid etc.

Just adding the image of your signature to a PDF is probably fine for unimportant things, but it certainly isn't enough to be legally binding (at least in the EU).
You mean the TikTok ban that doesn’t exist in the US?

Meanwhile a country like India has an actual TikTok ban, and as far as anyone can tell there have been 0 negative consequences, and likely a ton of positive ones for not having your youth hooked to a completely algorithmically driven entertainment/information source that also happens to be run by one of the most authoritarian regimes in the world that is currently engaged in all sorts of hostile activities against nearly every country including especially their neighbors.
Thank you for sharing that I will be thinking about it all day.
I use that indentation style for labels, including public:, private:, protected: and case labels.

For everything else, I indent twice, but I have a habit to compress double-indentation in my source code into a single character code by pressing the Tab key only once.
As per TFA, the 60% was for huge payloads, maybe p99 or something. The mean benefit was much lower, but it's arguable that it's the slow ones that you care about speeding up the most.
> For example, in JavaScript, using standard 'for loops' with index numbers is a LOT faster (over 16 times faster for basic use cases) than using Array.forEach(), yet all the linters and consultants recommend using Array.forEach() instead of the standard for loop... What about latency???

Do you have proof of this claim? It smells like bs.
I speak Portuguese and just got back from Portugal with my anime-obsessed boss. It was endless embarrassment when I told him to say “obrigado” to thank people, but he just said “arigato” the whole week — even after dozens of corrections.

I was browsing this same list this morning to see if there was any merit to his behavior.
Keep in mind that "filhos" and "filhós" are completely different words.
Funny that you accuse him of "not studying Duma policies". Unlike in the west, Russian parliament has as much power as Reichstag had in Nazi Germany. It yields no actual power. They are button-pushers who do as they are told, or get replaced.
'Google is testing a new AI technology codenamed "Genesis" that can generate news articles, according to The New York Times. The tech giant has reportedly demonstrated the tool not just for The Times, but also for executives at The Washington Post and News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal. Based on reports from people who witnessed the pitch, Genesis can whip up copy from the data fed to it, whether it's current events or other types of information. ... Some of the people who saw the demonstration described it as "unsettling."'

If they have solved the 'fact hallucination' problem then that would be impressive and a great step forward for LLMs.

If they have not solved the 'fact hallucination' problem, do we really want news stories written by programs that do not know fact from fiction?
As a self-taught software developer (with a degree in physics) I have a bigger problem with project-based learning (which is how I taught myself): completeness.

Learning on my own meant I avoided the trap of only learning part of how to complete the project (because I had to do all the parts) but I only learnt enough to complete the project I was working on. I didn't learn any data structures or algorithms fundamentals until I started playing with C (in fact, my algorithms knowledge is still rubbish, and I've never implemented a hash map, I just use tries), and there's so much I pick up on just from listening to my CS-qualified colleagues in the office.

To make guided project-based learning achieve this, the projects have to be so finely structured that they end up forming a traditional curriculum anyway.
Police aren't known for their investigation skills.
I fear we have to wait for a non-woke (so probably non-US) entity to train a useful GPT4(+) level model. Maybe one from Tencent or Baidu could be could, provided you avoid very specific topics like Taiwan or Xi.

Malware is defined many industry standard places, like NIST 800-61 which is the Computer Incident Response Guide, US-CERT, and EU-CERT.

From what is your understanding of the term malware derived?

Fundamentally, malware is about destructive application behavior. It’s a negatively charged term that should be reserved for tools created/used with actual malice by threat actors.

Hi everyone, my name is Alex and I'm the creator of DocuSeal.

I was not happy with the existing mainstream document signing solutions so I decided to create an open-source alternative.

I've been working on this project since the middle of May and here is what the tool can do so far:

- PDF form fields builder

- 10 field types available (Signature/Date/File/Checkbox etc)

- Multiple submitters per document

- Automated emails via SMTP

- File storage on AWS S3, Google Storage, or Azure

- Automatic PDF eSignature

- PDF signature verification

- User management

- Mobile-optimized

DocuSeal can be self-hosted on-premises or used in the Cloud for free.
DocuSeal was built with Ruby on Rails with a bit of Vue3 for complex UI parts like the form builder.

Looking for some feedback and would be happy to answer any questions
Isn't the main problem with hydrogen its flammability? Or is that something that is exaggerated?
At what point are you going to stop or finish eliminating those "manipulative business models"? The guy who keeps wasting his money is just going to move onto the next one.

No, the source of the problem are people who can't responsibly manage their finances. Whether that stems from something within their control or not is irrelevant.
Sugar is the big one and it being added to everything is the most likely source of the modern obesity epidemic.

Seriously. Just try to find packaged or restaurant foods without added sugar. You pretty much have to make all your own food. We got a bread machine to reduce sugar in our diet, among other things.
Got it! This is an important distinction - open data not just open source. (But throwing back to another recent thread - I think this is at odds with privacy - data can't be both private and persistent beyond the existence of a single server.)
You forgot to define "project" here, that made your article meaningless (just for the sake of advertising). Lol.
Were using retrieval-based system for Q&A for a complex product. Feeding in user guides, release notes even transcribed some tutorial videos. Its quick to create a 'wow' style demo but putting into production is challenge with hallucinations and testing/benchmarks hard to do given the stochastic nature of the output each time your run with same input (temp>0). Curious on pointers if anyone is doing something similar.

> Less RAM, obviously, while this is not very important it's just nice to have.

Unlike PC RAM which I can expand every time I get a new PC, my mental RAM is limited.

Making sure to put everything I don't need right now into external systems to free up my mental RAM was one of my main takeaways from reading Getting Things Done some 15 years ago, and for me, nested browser tabs is one level of my storage hierarchy.

Also note the word nested.

I can bookmark things, yes, and I do it a lot.

But for me, ctrl-clicking as I read through some documentation first time and then have everything open in a nested level of tabs and then being able to walk backward and forward between a table of contents or a search, concepts, related concepts and related information like blogs or bug reports effortlessly and without losing track of where I am or how I came there (it is just one step up in the hierarchy) is very valuable.

Before I learned to use Tree Style Tabs I'd navigate linearly and be afraid to lose out something important.

Today with TST I am only afraid that someone at Mozilla will finally find a way to totally destroy the extension API, forcing me to go to Mac/Orion (nothing bad about Orion, but I still struggle with Mac shortcuts).

I'd just like to expand a bit on the minor citation: you often cite the seminal papers in a field simply to give context to the work you're doing and, in some fields, to show competing or past equations as contrast to your method of doing something.

None of those require the paper you're citing to be free from fraud: seminal works with fraudulent or inaccurate results may still have preparation methods that are applicable to novel, non-fraudulent, experimental techniques and equations are rarely at issue with data manipulation or other fraud.

There's still space to be aware of retracted papers in citations as building directly on those results and managing to show an improvement on doctored data would be suspicious but I'm pretty sure that is the minority of citations in many fields.

We had project based learning at my university, it was fine. Not the best, but 2 weeks scoped projects are similar to sprints which is what businesses want. You are not reinventing the wheel in most programming jobs. I just feel it lacked some some theory, but theory is everywhere on the internet if you bother to look.

25 million per day might be a little high for SQLite, especially if they don't spread out evenly over the day. You also get no redundancy or replication, which you might want if your database isn't to grind to a halt during backups.

Arguably Cassandra does sound like a weird choice, but we don't know the specifics of their setup. There's a lot of solutions presented on HN where SQLite and a Java application would have been a better choice and you can say for sure without knowing all the details, I feel like this is past that point.
Keeping a side project alive with t-shirts and cash
In case you weren't aware, the vast majority of people have "more willpower than teams of full-time psychologists and billion-dollar marketing budgets can erode". There are a few who unfortunately do not, but the world shouldn't have to bend over backwards to save them from themselves.
I had a feeling somebody would quibble with "independent." In context, I don't think it's a high bar. If we're talking about sex workers, we're not talking about people with regular jobs so work is tied to their healthcare. "Independent" has to mean no more than an independent-minded personality; exactly the sort of person who can cope with running their own business doing something that's less socially acceptable.

Therapy is not the universal requirement for mental health that many people seem to think it is. Most people just muddle through and manage to stay reasonably sane without developing substance abuse disorders. In many cases that might not be optimal, but it's not insane or drug-addled either.

According to the journal article, they had a control group that didn't receive hearing aids. Also, all the participants in the study had hearing loss.

"Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to a hearing intervention (audiological counselling and provision of hearing aids) or a control intervention of health education (individual sessions with a health educator covering topics on chronic disease prevention) and followed up every 6 months." from https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Transaction in this case is not a database transaction, but a financial transaction (payment). Per payment, probably somewhere in the order of 50-100 database transactions (although Cassandra does not really have transactions of course, interpret this as read/write actions) will be performed in the course of its processing. So that is 1,875,000,000,000 database actions on busy days. Not a DBA, but for our purposes the scalability and availability of Cassandra works very well.
A lot of the work is actually just working with dangerous chemicals, and isn't a technical desk job with prestige.

It's factory work!
The opening sentence in the article says that introducing hearing aids to high risk dementia patients reduces cognitive decline by up to 50% so I think your question is misguided.

Measuring the “distance” of a matrix from a diagonal matrix
"Let A be a N×N symmetric positive semi-definite matrix with N≥2. Let D be a diagonal matrix of dimension N. I would like to measure how much A "is far" from D, i.e. I am trying to find a way to quantify how A differs from a diagonal matrix. More generally, the aim is to come up with a measure that captures the overall "level of orthogonality" of A, such that if I have another positive semi-definite matrix B, with the same dimension, I can argue that A is more or less close to being orthogonal than B, which means I am interested in a relative statement. To be more explicit: I would like to quantify how A is close to being an orthogonal matrix, and how B is close to being an orthogonal matrix, not how A and B are orthogonal to each other. Any suggestion (even partial) is welcome"

This is basically only a problem with Azure DevOps, which has a completely broken SSH implementation. It accepts any key, and only later checks permissions. Other source forges do not have this issue, as they only accept keys that have access.

So basically, this might be convenient if you use Azure DevOps, but otherwise there should be no need whatsoever.

As an introvert, I would say there is a difference. Deep here is in the eye of the beholder and I agree with idea that a deep conservation doesn't drain me and can in fact be energizing. Comfortable conversations are more on the fun and light sight but they can be an drain on my limited social energy reserves. I like them, but I need recovery time. The 'deep' part may mean different things to different people but to me its one where knowledgeable people are discussing aspects of that knowledge at a, well, deeper level than most conservations allow for.

This is a phenomenon more generally true with regard to the internet, automation, and especially AI.

Of course, you can say that books, encyclopedias, and the like have taken away some need for human connection, but Google and AI takes that to the next level, a level which is qualitatively different than simply looking in an encyclopedia.

Google of course does this specifically with its FAQ-style result, but that is only the beginning.

One of the ultimate ends of AI is a society in which a human beings can function anonymously and it will lead to a weird level of narcissism in which people don't much care about others because they never see their faces.

In short, the author of this blog is completely, 100% right. Sadly, many people here and in other articles have commented that they like this idea, but for those people: take a moment to realize the societal effects when it is taken to the extreme. Of course, for those who are inclined to avoid human interaction for some reason (perhaps they were nerds in grade school), this may initially seem good (and I understand that, I was a nerd in grade school), but this new level of anonymity and lack of connection when it comes to getting information is NOT good for us.
