I'm in the market for a tablet, but my primary use is media consumption so screen+speakers are of the highest importance. But that said, this still looks very promising. I signed up for email notifications, so it depends on when it becomes purchasable.

no idea what "german quality" or "better" is supposed to mean.
They also trade it in the market, and anyone who tried to raise warning bells early is censored. Andrew Left got banned from trading in HK in 2016 because he said the company was doomed. We’ve known for a long time that Evergrande was in serious trouble, that was 7 years ago, and the Chinese government’s solution was to look for suckers who would listen to them rather than look at the numbers.

You mean the rule of law that it imposes upon others that they didn't agree on? And they'll bring it up only when it's convenient.

I'll say it again: Big countries will be big countries.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I think the phrase "you do realize" rarely, if ever, seems to add anything to the debate. It sounds patronising at best, and makes people defensive even if it's a useful point.

No one uses 3 digits to represent cents, so nobody is going to interpret this as a hundred dollars a day.

I am a bit torn by they keyboard though - the primary labels are certainly not functional, and secondary english labels look like last-minute addition with a mismatched font. I wish they went either with complete nonsense print, or with a more functional one.
It is not possible to sign up over Tor (neither through their .onion nor through proton.me) without providing a non-disposable verification email address or a non-cryptocurrency payment method.

This second restriction is especially damning: They accept cryptocurrency, but only for existing accounts - after you've already doxxed yourself.
It is noise gated, which could be what you’re hearing. (This lets you play more piano like and not have to mute all those open strings)
Punk. Though technically the laptop is techware I guess.
I think the convergence to transformer architectures already proofs this article from 2019 wrong in some ways. Even though CNNs did and do a good job, they will most likely be superseded by vision transformers. Of course you could argue that stable diffusion models and LLMs also have some domain knowledge inside. But it might be a little less with multimodal networks.
So I guess the lesson should be: Don't put more domain knowledge inside than what's needed to make a product out of it right now, because everything else won't progress the field.
Synk.to is cloud-first identity management platform where users connect their favorite SaaS solutions (such as Google Workspace, Jira, Slack, Microsoft Azure AD, and many others) to sync groups and users between them. This functionality is usually available on SaaS enterprise plans, but on average they cost at least twice as much comparing to regular plans. With our tool you can save money by synchronizing groups and users using standard SaaS basic plans.

> It's literally just a subset of something, but no emergent property or benefit is borne from this shrinkage, so the end result is not very interesting.

Often this de-bloating is a benefit in itself, in a technical sense. But I suppose that's not what you were talking about?
As far as I can recall the population of the UK has hovered around 55 million since the early 80s at least, but this number doesn't seem to make sense to me. I'm reminded of a March 2020 London Evening Standard headline saying that half of the adult population of the UK had been vaccinated and the headline gave 55 million people as the total for that number, which gave me pause for thought.
A few questions:

If single threaded performance is degraded, couldn't these people use an old version of python?

With such incredible increases in multithreaded performance, I imagine this is basically infrastructure tier importance. Like the US government should be funding it. Would throwing a billion dollars at it, solve it in ~1 year? Or is this going to take 3 years regardless?
It's possibly an unpopular take, but it's not completely clear to me what community-driven programming languages gain from a standards process anyway. (At least if the intention is to really standardize the complete thing, bells and whistles included, not just some tiny core, as R5RS did.)

If you have multiple adversarial commercial implementers for something, a standard makes perfect sense. It's still a lot of work, but necessary because otherwise, you wouldn't get things to interoperate at all. That's true for things like HTTP, or Bluetooth, or JavaScript, or C++.

But for a community project, having one blessed implementation and iterating quickly has proven to be the most successful model, in my opinion. I can point towards Python, Rust, even PHP for examples. Even Haskell, which started out with a written specification, has at this point de facto been forked into the much richer language called "whatever GHC understands".
Anecdotal but I will say the shift to WFH isn't really a thing in China from what I've seen.
Thanks for building this. I agree there's a gap between OSS libraries and high-end products like Scandit.

Scanning barcodes is harder than it looks. Or rather, scanning an intact, well-lit barcode square-on is easy – but it gets harder as conditions deteriorate.

Are you worried about Scandit's patents?

There’s nothing in OPs architecture that dictates a descent into spaghetti code.

It looks very similar to a Flask (Python), Sinatra (Ruby) or Express (JavaScript) server-side application. It is very straightforward to use a traditional MVC-with-HTTP-verbs architecture.

These end up being way cleaner than whatever happens when you split up the backend and front end into separate coupled applications.

The downside has always been that your website seems a bit sluggish when doing full page reloads… but that’s where edge compute comes into play and it starts to feel as snappy as a server-side rendered web app feels when running locally.
Meta prohibits Department of Defense to use Llama2
I saw this tweet from someone at the DoD discussing how stupid it was that the USA governement cannot use Llama2 technology but the CCP can. I searched up the use policy and it seems correct. What do you all think??
I guess cyberpunk is the closest. Nasa-punk also has similar features, proffering functional edges over a supposed plastic cover which would add weight, making it unsuitable for sending it to space.
>They sometimes rely on food donated by supermarkets with a 'best before' which has passed

Oh! That makes a bunch of sense. Good idea to have a food bank to get rid of aging food.
I agree, I dont give much for GPs advice.

I have worked with some (actually quite a lot of) amazingly clever people that did not give me much more than a frown from time to time. Or if they are a bit more well behaved not even that.

Find good mentors, i.e. nice people who have a good overview but will frequently take the time to discuss things on your level. And pay them back with respect of course.
UK birth slump dubbed ‘good for planet’
The starter plan is actually a pay-per-use plan, so you're starting at $0 and spending depending on your usage. You don't need to move directly to $79. Does that make sense?

It seems we need to do some work on the pricing page.
> What value does this post hold that hasn't been said with greater rigour elsewhere?

I've seen people do that A/B shit in real life, I've been a part of that A/B shit because I was the one who saw these idiotic dances with small changes, I was the one who swore and cursed when my usual functionality was changed to some ridiculous workflow only to be brought back a month later.

Yes, most of the time you don't need to tell what water is wet. Sadly, there are many, many, many people who are in position to change and they learned about A/B ~yesterday. You are forgetting there is a constant influx of new people in the industry and something obvious for anyone with 5Y of experience is terra incognita for someone who is new.
I was shocked the other day by seeing a physical travelcard ticket for Zones 1-9 and having to confirm from a Tube station map that a Zone 9 actually exists. This is four more than I could remember.
I suggest people stop making Reddit tier comments on HN.
I use autossh+tmux for persistent ssh sessions. I don't use mosh as I use X forwarding to share the clipboard with the host, and I don't think mosh can do that.

I don't really use tmux for window/pane management, I have a window manager and my terminal emulator has panes and tabs. Each autossh session gets its own tmux session on the remote side.
Maybe a factor in the model spitting out these absurdities, is that it has consumed a ton of regular old SEO absurdities already and does it best to match the genre.

For instance I found out recently, if I search for Karigasniemi, Google recommends a site with the "top 10 hotels in Karigasniemi". It's a tiny, tiny border village in the middle of nowhere. Needless to say it doesn't have 10 hotels.
Meta standing against military-civilian fusion, Google / Microsoft / Amazon otherwise all in
Yeah I hate "please", but assuming I'm with a cohort that understands it, "pls" seems to work a lot better, i.e:

>can you merge that pr pls

I'm not sure why, I guess it just sounds a lot more casual when written down and read? It still gets across that it's a request, not a command, but without that patronising tone. Generally speaking I've very much gone from speaking very formally in chat with my teammates to casual chat where I no longer care for punctuation or capitalisation, makes it feel a lot friendlier I guess?

Obviously for official comms/emails/talking to someone I don't know I format properly and professionally but for day to day stuff I just like keeping casual, like you would speaking in the office I guess.
The NSA already has all of Google's data... Surely they could be a whistle blower if they wanted to.
It's weird there would be errors like if it was AI generated since the latest AI definitely does not make mistakes like that.

Could be outsourced articles with translation errors? I don't know. Or some custom made LLM.
That's ridiculous. You can't expect non-technical managers and graphic designers to try to dig around your code base to find what they're looking for, let alone make changes.
I think there is no hard rule. Some people say that all the time, some never. Some have a friendly tone and don't need it, but if they add it suddenly it can appear like mentioned. No one said you should stop and I'm pretty sure it won't annoy people if it comes naturally.

It's the same as when sales people talk to me and intersperse "Well, Mr. wink, you know about this great offer, that will benefit you, Mr. wink, very much. As I said earlier, Mr. wink." - makes me want to end the call right at the 2nd mention.
Differs from country to country. It's obvious as soon as you land in some countries that people dress in a certain style. I noticed that in colder climates people tend to use less vivid colors more darker tones, single color tops while in hotter climates people wear colourful tops and shorts almost everywhere and it's considered normal.
Countries that want Japanese tourists could learn Japanese?
> what are the advantages against taking the least occupied server/bin always

The other answers are saying for algo reasons. Sure, but, pick two is even more better for uptime reasons.

In serving at scale, quite often the "least occupied" server of all of them is one with an error causing it to have least load/connections/whatever.

By starting with a random two, you pick among probably healthy servers, and then the least load.

> good improvements with nginx load balancing when changing its configuration to least_conn, that chooses the server with least connections.

nginx doesn't know why your app is failing to keep connections open long enough to serve them, least_conn between two random results in far fewer 100% "outages" when a single box or subset of boxes among 10s or 1000s is bad.

The fact that you think these two things go together really highlights how blinded by ideology you are.
"Ship faster, do less, faster, faster, faster. To what end?"

You're on hacker news, which is pretty heavily focused on startups. Startups usually have a limited runway, wherein if they don't deliver they cease to exist. That seems like a pretty reason to ship faster?

Comparing "choose a framework that saves developer time and energy" to "choose porn over your family" seems a bit much.
70% of the profits are generated by older processes, not sub-14nm, and so are perfectly well serviceable using mature DUV litography which is much easier to "copy". But even there, subsidies did not yield much progress.

On the other hand, new energy vechicles are... well... new. There is no mature ecosystem to copy, a lot of things have to be newly developed. In this sector, subsidies have been massively successful.

The problem is mainly one of market pressure, not one of technical ability. Chinese semiconductor companies wanted the best suppliers, so they chose international suppliers rather than domestic suppliers. Domestic customers didn't buy from domestic chip designers. Domestic chip designers didn't manufacture with domestic fabs. Domestic fabs didn't use domestic equipment. As a result, domestic suppliers never got enough customers to practice and improve their processes, which is why they remained low-quality. It was a vicious circle which the Chinese govt tried to solve for years without much success. Then US sanctions came and all of a sudden, Chinese semiconductor companies had no choice but to work together with domestic suppliers: it was either shitty domestic suppliers or die. Nowadays you see domestic semiconductor equipment companies have something like 150-200% growth YoY, something which they previously could only have dreamt of. Domestic DUV litography was at 65+nm for a long time but now 24nm DUV litography (still good for ~60+% of market demand) is around the corner because they finally get enough practice.

People ascribe too much to this simplistic view of China only being able to copy or that copying is easy, and totally underestimate economic pressures.
I always found it odd that people would buy a computer how it looks over its performance as a tool. Of course, I really like cool looking stuff, but I wouldn’t want a weak computer or or one that ran an OS that was hard for me to use.

I guess there is an intersection of fashion nerd and computer nerd. And I am not the arbiter of computer nerd, but I think the 20 or so times I talked with people who said they were computer nerds and had cool looking computers that sucked as computers they didn’t seem authentically computer nerdy (for lack of a better word).

I specifically remember someone from the late 90s and early 00s who kept going on and on about how he was into computers and always had to have the best computers, the “absolute best” he would say. Then he had these really trash Sony vaios. I asked him about what he liked most and he just said how they were cool. I asked him what he ran and he didn’t really say anything.

People like collecting stuff, and I don’t want to begrudge people their joy. But I’d like to learn about the people who buy these and what they are most interested in. I think my Sony Vaio guy just bought whatever was most expensive in the store.
Idk how you can include any of those but North Korea in the list (North Korea only exists because China secures it). Russia at least, is a good example of the opposite: give people chance to earn and invest money and enrich themselves and they will give no shit about even the most ridiculous things government does.

Soviet Union has collapsed while having whole lot more economic power and raw output of just about every industry, and was much more up to date technologically, but it deprived people of their basic instinct: to save and invest money and grow rich. Today's Russia allows and encourages that. Moreover, it even allows people say, to blatantly ignore taxes on all levels (i know people who make millions bucks per year in Russia and they don't know what tax number is, receiving and spending money through the banks in the open - and banks even help then when they need to make that money look legit abroad). As long as you don't try to oppose the great Pu or mess with politics overall, the regime has nothing against people enriching themselves - so the support base is rock solid and need for violence to maintain internal order is next to nonexistent.

Russia isn't democratic, but it is capitalist in the sense: you can own capital and government wants you to, and sees people who have capital as by default more well-behaved and loyal than those who don't. The sickest shit Putin may say on TV is shrugged by those people as "Pu just wants to make those peasants happy", and they may be even right.

The human population cannot grow indefinitely without moving to other planets, which is very much infeasible now and probably infeasible into the foreseeable future. Society just has to adapt. The problem I see is our current leaders are only interested in pushing the problem down the road. Declining population (which won't actually decline till 2080-ish IIRC) is not in itself a problem.
Woah! I just assumed this is how it worked everywhere. I might just need to re-think my whole stance and look this up. Thanks for sharing, I never thought to question it.
oh there are guidelines too. i wasn't aware. i put the right article. i was just experimenting. thanks for letting me know.
I switched from screen to tmux after almost 20 years of using screen. The impetus for the switch was that I found a bug in screen, and discovered that it had been reported for many years.

tmux handles changing terminal sizes better than screen does. The config language is much easier to read and write. The status line looks a little nicer.

I don't think Haskell is a good example.

In my experience, real-world Haskell requires enabling half a dozen language extensions, most of which have only been implemented for GHC and some of which are mutually incompatible.

Over the years Haskell has evolved from a well-defined language into "anything people managed to get merged into Haskell". Learning it is now an absolute nightmare as you are basically required to understand a dozen poorly-documented extensions to use even very basic libraries.

Agreed! It's about creating an environment exclusive of people practicing vices as one precondition for success.

If someone is working to change their life, they deserve at least a neutral-to-positive environment in which to do that.
I agree to some degree but in my view, in a democracy, big changes (especially those that hurt short term) require public discourse to be legitimate. In addition, on a practical level, few politicians risk pushing a big agenda without backing from the public opinion.
Did you bother to search for a solution before typing this screed out? In Texas, there is the TX Workforce Commission, which is designed to operate and solve what you bleeted on about. I picked another state randomly from my head, Kansas, and it looks like they have a similiar workforce program for job seekers. They are not only for recently unemployed individuals. I used it to great effect to gain access to network and system admin training at a very low point in my mid-20's. I was the youngest person in my "cadre" by 10+ years.

Go has exceptions: you can use `panic` to throw/catch just fine. The community will bring out the torch and pitchforks because it’s “not idiomatic” but if you’re programming solo or with other pragmatists don’t let it stop you.
I think that debate has already been had actually: TSMC said it COULD be done, as long as that got the subsidies they have been given.

Now, having agreed a price and been paid, suddenly it's impossible? Then TSMC should refund all the money, eat their losses and not be eligible to bid again. That's how deals work: your paid and you deliver. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too...
