Hey! I am a Backend Python developer with three years of experience in building scalable and performant solutions. I am currently seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and make a meaningful impact.
I discovered, albeit with resignation, that I was still alive this morning.

Discovery is not just something done for humanity.
Meta: well, not sure if it was your goal, but reading your dismissal made me think, "Oh, this HN commenter's pointed out the article is full of crap, so, no need to attribute this to climate change, then.".. luckily another part of my brain said, "Wait a minute, why are you defaulting to thinking that HN commenter knows what he's talking about?!".
I think juice jacking is one of those things that's about a lack of real engagement about risk. Yes it's all very 007 to plant a dodgy usb charger, but it doesn't really reflect the real threat profile in the world. If you're just an average guy the biggest risk to you of someone stealing your phone and accessing your data is having your phone out as you walk through a city and someone will just snatch it out of your hands. If you're a head of state you should be more worried about someone like the NSO group and you should be operating a whole host of security practices. And as well as all this remember - the way Stuxnet was delivered wasn't some subtley planted infected phone charger, they had a mole on the inside who inserted the infected USB stick in the full knowledge that what they were doing was breaching security.
Unicode being widely adopted (which is what is happening) is the solution to the problem you seem to have of Unicode having to add more codepoints for compatibility with other encodings. Even if the pre-Unicode encodings never go away, they've already taken their respective bites out of the codepoint space, and they won't take up any more of the Consortium's time.

The only way this becomes a live issue again is if someone develops a whole new encoding which is incompatible with the latest version of Unicode. And it gets enough traction to get on anyone else's radar. I simply can't see that as very likely.
As you get more experienced in programming you'll inevitably inherit projects that you didn't have any say over, when that time comes come back to this comment, I'd be interested to hear if you still feel the same way.
Sorry didn’t mean buy, I meant rent your own one bedroom apartment, rather than have roommates which is the norm in usa.

In terms of cities it would be all except maybe London and Paris.

Also in most European countries renting is just as good as buying because of favourable tenant laws
So no network, no power, lost your phone, not battery, broke your phone, lock out of your phone, and you are not a human anymore?
The USPS is paid to deliver the bulk rate mail spam. That is one of their strongest reasons to not block it.
Also Europe has so many literal monarchy and other royal descents that still owns huge capital, banks and so on. GL with auditing royal families, so much hidden information there.
I don't have a technical argument offhand, as my understanding has built up over reading and some use of Csound. My main source has simply been my ears in listening to demos of both Csound and Supercollider and me finding that most of the Supercollider stuff all sounded the same and quite digital. Although I like it, I think Pure Data actually has the same problem. I would wager it simply boils down to the synthesis algorithms used, and Csound definitely also has a huge library of those. I have also seen some examples of Csound being used to synthesize via physical modeling. But I am still getting into all of it.
I'm extremely confident their top up mechanism will incur fees just as much as contactless payment would. And clearance is soon enough. Unclaimed balances would not show on their P&L if they are following GAPP, in fact they'd be a liability. And it's at a school?! Priorities:D
I see usize as the "memory indexing type" for the current platform I run on, storing it or sending it over some middleware should be a rare fringe case IMHO.
Speaking as a Brit living in Singapore, the idea that Singapore and London are even in the same ballpark when it comes to personal safety is absolutely insane. The two cities aren’t even remotely similar.

I took a look at the report you mentioned and I think the chart might be misleading you. Yes, the chart does give those rankings. But look at the prose:

> As with other pillars, personal security inputs and outputs have a high level of statistical correlation. Within this context, some individual cases differ markedly. On personal security outputs, Singapore scores an average of 97.3, markedly ahead of second place Copenhagen (92.7) and well over the index average (67.2). At the same time, it finishes in 40th place on inputs (51.7), falling below the average (57.3). Although the most extreme case, several other Asian cities, notably Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul and Taipei, have much lower input than output scores.

What’s all this about inputs and outputs? Well inputs are the effort a city puts into promoting personal security, and outputs are how good the personal security actually is.

Here are the inputs for personal security:

- Use of data-driven techniques for crime
- Gun regulation and enforcement
- a) Threat of terrorism
- b) Threat of military conflict
- c) Threat of civil unrest
- a) Police personnel per capita
- b) Prosecution personnel per capita
- c) Professional judges or magistrate personnel per capita
- Expenditure on social security
- a) Laws on domestic violence
- b) Laws on sexual harassment

And here are the outputs for personal security:

- a) Prevalence of petty crime
- b) Prevalence of violent crime
- Organised crime
- Severity of terrorist attacks
- Deaths from substance use disorders
- Level of corruption
- Enforceability of contracts
- a) Income inequality levels
- b) Share of population in vulnerable employment
- a) Female homicide rates
- b) Prevalence of domestic violence

In short, the report you are citing is saying that not only is Singapore by far the safest city, but in fact it’s the safest despite putting comparatively little effort into it.

This is what other commenters here mean when they complain that a lot of the criticism of Singapore here is from afar without experiencing or understanding the place. Anybody who has spent time in both London and Singapore would think that calling them similar in terms of personal safety is crazy.
I wrote this because I needed to calculate transformations between two cameras’ point of view and I just couldn’t find something accesible and straightforward. Hopefully somebody finds it useful.
Two clarifications to your comment.

1. That money will go through a thing called "escheatment" and end up with the California government on your behalf where it will be held for you.

2. I use the Lyft e-bikes and from recently onwards you can rent one for a friend. It doesn't apply your subscription benefits but I suppose that's life.

> an old smartphone collecting dust in a drawer that could be had practically free.

Needed to use an old smartphone in a drawer recently, due to current one failing.

Unfortunately they tend to be too old to install current apps. Good for calls, text and web, but not for random laundry app of the week. Same with friends' old drawer phones.

If you're poor the phones you buy are often second hand too, which exacerbates the problem of the old one in the drawer being out of date for current apps by the time you need to get it out again as a backup.
Moreover, I'd still have to consider what happens at the limits of the
integer type even if I did use `usize` for more general cases to make
sure that I properly handle overflow (generally by using saturating or
checked arithmetic in my use cases).

That's one of those things I don't particularly like about rust. The most terse means of converting between numeric types doesn't do any bounds checking.

use std::convert::TryFrom;

fn main() {
let a = usize::MAX;
let b = a as u32;
println!("{a} == {b}");
let c = u32::try_from(a).expect("this will always fail");
println!("{a} == {c}");
}
A manual action where I multiply and divide all actions. It works, bit hardly. Won't do it again. A next time, I'll probably try to do a sell all old stocks for X/stock, and then buy all for X/splitamt/stock to handle this.

I was addressing your statements regarding the capabilities of neural AI:

> Anyway, all known AI techniques struggle with common sense reasoning. The majority of ambiguities in natural language are distinct and uncorrelated. Combining known techniques is not going to solve the problem.

> Statistical techniques underperform compared to symbolic rules no matter how much hardware you throw at the problem.

The best empirical machine learning techniques to measure a system's capabilities are good enough for many practical purposes. AI's commonsense and language understanding differs from that of humans but it's not necessarily inferior to the average human's understanding, even in its current state. AI's understanding is shallower but more interconnected to more diverse domains of knowledge, which is very useful for practical purposes.

We're not going to change our language to avoid confusing AI. If anything, it can already communicate, using our natural language, better than an average human in some practical contexts.

I do agree though that AI research in language understanding is far from completed.
If you read the report, that chart seems to combine inputs (effort expended) and outputs (results observed), and when you look at just the results, Singapore is top and several Asian cities are similar. The report says:

> As with other pillars, personal security inputs and outputs have a high level of statistical correlation. Within this context, some individual cases differ markedly. On personal security outputs, Singapore scores an average of 97.3, markedly ahead of second place Copenhagen (92.7) and well over the index average (67.2). At the same time, it finishes in 40th place on inputs (51.7), falling below the average (57.3). Although the most extreme case, several other Asian cities, notably Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul and Taipei, have much lower input than output scores.
It is a quip against the article. The "... in parts of Canada..." can be as small as a room in their house. No competition for that achievement.
The cities would have been responsible for building sidewalks to the bridge. If you look around where the bridge is on modern maps you'll see that a lot of the residential area on the North side of the bridge (Richfield) just doesn't have sidewalks.
Yep. I've had this set for months.
The advantage of the soft slope is that it can be used with a wheelchair.

Ask HN: Creative UX for data input and analysis
I'm looking for inspiring and creative software for data input and analysis to use in our ux research (as reference that is, not as tools for conducting the research). To me, Jupyter and Observable are great examples. Excels soon-to-be Python integration seems promising too. It seems Fathom (fahtom.info) has built some impressive tools.

Do you have any examples to share?
There is an in between. Our buildings laundry has a payment machine that takes credit cards and either gives you a credit card sized laundry card or recharges it. You tap the card to start that machine. You can also use the smart phone app, but I don’t think it’s used by many.

It works pretty well.

Parking meters are another thing that seems to be going the app route. I use one locally but when I travel it’s usually not the same network so its figure out how to do it.. (website, payment kiosk, another app…)
So because a few forms need validations you turn your whole application into a JS hellhole?

That's the crux of the issue. It's not that JS isn't needed and small pieces of interactivity aren't nice. But we chose to turn everything into JS despite only really needing it for very small pieces of the app.

Back a few years I'd have small JS bundles included in specific pages that needed interactivity. Later people frowned upon that practice because it meant a ton of requests for the client, so we bundled everything.

Now, new JS frameworks send small JS bundles as you open each page, lol.

Why not have micro React (or whatever framework makes sense) pieces in pages that need it for the interaction?

Plus, server-side form validation is extremely easy to do and also removes duplication. Its been a solved problem for over a decade. I'd even argue back-then it was harder since browsers were much worse and basic elements were lacking. Today you add a `required` attribute in an input and it simply works.

I stand by it. Aside from a few exceptions, most apps have no business being SPAs. They go on to emulate a subpar version of a MPA, and people have to resort to absurdities like these server components to achieve the same experience we've had for 20+ years with server-side rendering.
Data encapsulated in simple formats inevitably survive longer.
I think What3Words is in principle a nice idea, but it could have been implemented much better. I am thinking of the following:

- have a fixed pattern, e.g. adjective.adjective.noun.

- create groups of words and put them in hierarchies. E.g. noun->animal->predator

- cover the world with a one-dimensional Hilbert curve

- Increment the noun along the curve. When all nouns are exhausted, start with the first noun again and increment the adjective in the middle, a.s.o. (analog to how incrementing a number with several digits works).

With this approach, the location purple.flying.tiger would be next to purple.flying.lion.
Thanks!

When you say this, are there any good reference materials (i.e., books or papers) of the algorithms?
I've found a decent number of exec assistants that have this issue booking on behalf of their bosses. Uber Black is preferred by the boss but they wind up using Addison Lee or similar for this desktop booking. So there's money left on the table from fairly price insensitive customers.
What about introverted subset of people who prefer to be left alone, to not participate in wider social networks, who want to have a family and a door that shuts?

Can you give some examples ?
Because when i think at Guantanamo and various wars, i don't see any reduction.
It's not like they have much of a choice, though.
I'm pretty sure many would have preferred a nice house by the water.

My point is that no one gives a shit about making them part of society.

> Note that GPS can be often unreliable or not precise enough.

But the W3W app identifies your position by GPS, meaning it is subject to the same general reliability problem via inheritance. Yes, it displays a map as well, so you can identify that you need to quote a different square, but in an emergency situation I'd posit that people are more likely to just read off the words and not really take in the displayed map. And the same solution works for GPS alone anyway – if you are reading your position using a phone app it is likely displaying an approximate map also.
Maybe if what you’re measuring leads to believe that Germany is equivalent to Mississippi, you’re measuring the wrong thing.
Vacuuming is such a complex task in optimize in Postgres. Depending on your access pattern you will need to also configure index with conditions and/or partitioning (on top of sane vacuuming settings).
And when you realise that Update is the same as Delete+Create it adds up to the confusion.
Bespoke vs. commercial is a good way to put it too. The higher-end version of the commercial solution is better than the "designed as higher-end" bespoke one.
It’s very interesting how enforceable this trademark policy is. There’re trademark fair use, and it looks like they try to take away some part of it, through forbidding to use word Rust in other product names.

> power efficient general purpose computing

No, that is not the use case the M cores are tuned for. "Power efficient Apple-based computing" would be a better descriptor. It's useful to keep the entire context of the response in mind, when replying.
Yes, that's when it started. Then we sent some people to Juliacon '23 to get a feel for the future. Julia is a fine language, just not for us given the reasons in the OP.

We have been tracking mojo since 2020 but wanted to wait for a release date before making the change. Dr Lattner has a reputation of producing commercial quality work and we trust that. Also, because our code base is modular by design ( Dr Jim Gray was our mentor), and bound together by ipms ( any transport will do), we can make the conversion very quickly. As to funding it's mostly us. We have done reasonably well in financial trading augmentation approaches and so the funding is internal. We love writing small personal scripts in any language and much of our work product has been small and reactive, I suppose you could call them scipts. I would point out that NONE of this is relevant to my OP question.
What’s more important is that it has roots in Judaism which is very often not taken in account.

In dub music which is largely the chanting of rastafari you can find all the Old Testament figures and YHVH is Jah in rastafari.
And often attributed to Pascal.
Nice, but what's the advantage of this? Not having it to install for one-time things?

The most interesting part of this statement is that you physically move both hands to clap… I let my dominant hand “hit” my other hand… is that not how everyone does it lol
I'm about as strident an advocate for better walkability in America as you'll find, but this is still a silly post. The OP is not about the question of why one would build pedestrian bridges in general, but why this particular one exists in this particular spot, when it is clearly of no value to anyone and has no obvious rhyme or reason to its positioning, having no connection to any other pedestrian infrastructure. Which you know perfectly well if you read any of the post.

As far as your latter paragraph goes... Read any other comment thread vaguely related to this topic, I suppose. That exact conversation is had on this site at least weekly.
Nah these pretend money things have an expiry date exactly for that reason. Check any kind of gift card, voucher, reward scheme etc.

Companies don't want never-expiring liabilities and they also want to make money from people not spending account balances.

The UK is a special case in that we have quite narrowly defined postcodes, each of them restricted to a small area. So if you manage to get there you're not far to wherever you want to go.

In any case, do people really need to write down coordinates these days. It's probably all copy-paste or just click a link.

I have just noticed that the Google Maps app now gives you the Plus Code of any location.

What about people who buy the phone but don't want to participate in the contracts of adhesion that are the ToS of Apple or Google?

Apple is making it harder and harder to use an Apple ID (required for the App Store) without using iCloud. iCloud is a privacy nightmare.

> [Brits] have been speaking English for much longer than Americans

The English spoken in America is from immigrants from the UK. American English was not suddenly invented out of whole cloth in 1783.

> Give America a thousand years and chances are that some people will end up speaking something completely unintelligible to others.

It doesn't really work that way now. The US has only had a relatively unified spoken language with the advent of national radio and television networks. Regions largely lost their dialects once everyone started consuming the same media.
It depends how far back you want to look for the origin of sounds.

It's definitely way more common to be anti-technology here than in the real world, because of the number of weirdos here that are hyper paranoid about security, and because of the number of "If I could set screen modes manually in X86config then it's good enough for you!" stuck-in-the-muds.
