London does not charge online, especially as they don’t know the fare until later, so the billing still happens as batch like Oyster.

You can get a basic impression of what the differences are, but I agree with the GP that it won't really tell you how typing on an entire keyboard with those switches will feel.
For downloading large files I would rather just use aria2c TBH.
Been using it since the late 90s, and I still use it to this day. Grew up in Total Commander. Thanks Christian Ghisler for this amazing software.
IMO, Netflix is making a mistake by not caring that a group of their loyal customers are upset by this move. Sure it costs them money to ship these disks and replace them when broken,but come on, they can more then afford it! And they can always raise the price in the name of satisfying the customers.

I've been a streamer and disker for years, but as of September 30th I'm firing Netflix because there are better streaming options, I only stayed because of the DVD's.

> Have they seen how many Chinese immigrants/second generation Chinese Americans power high-tech US tech companies?

But this is the whole point. They might be Chinese immigrants but they are adding value to US companies.

Your later point on top US university papers - same thing. The US has been doing this for 200 years. So many ambitious and talented people migrate there, because their home countries don’t allow them to succeed for all kinds of reasons.

In the broad scheme of things, it doesn’t matter if they are immigrants or not, they are boosting the US economy.

Just like how almost no scientists working on the atomic bomb with oppenheimer were from the US, and they didn’t build nuclear bombs for European countries…

It's well studied, but not well studied. Climatology is essentially a branch of history and suffers the same issues with low quality sources that can't be upgraded via experiment because they're recordings of past events, ideological bias amongst practitioners and other issues.

Due to the 3D nature, it is very hard to mock up with a few pieces of paper.

One thing to note is that the Glove80 thumb cluster plane is at a very different location and angle, compared to the the Kinesis Advantage thumb cluster plane. In fact the Glove80 thumb cluster plane is much lower and slant down gently (nowhere as much as DM) towards the opposite half. OTOH the KA thumb cluster sits significantly higher than the keywell.

Due to the thumb plane difference, "the glove80 cluster placement forces my hand on a higher position and requires the thumb to stretch more" is not the case in reality for me.
Most of these are also useful in other languages (that have a good enough type system). I use them all the time in C++ and TypeScript.
Spanish gipsies have their own "law" (unwritten shared rules) and "judges" (patriarchs). They have/had many archaic "laws", and one cornerstone used to be that a gipsy cannot work for a gadjé (non-gipsy). This internal "law" plus poverty results in criminal activity above the average for that poverty bracket because the only legal and "legal" employment is basically self-employment.

Of course you can throw your hands up and say that "crime is part of their culture", and find a basis to support racism. You can also spend resources on integration and education. Today, gipsies in Spain can work like gadjés without being shamed by fellow gipsies (or to the contrary even get praised for making a career), and all without losing their cultural identity.
I had an electromechanical Timex with a dead beat seconds complication. Which means it was a battery powered watch with a balance that was supposed to be ticking 4 times / second and an extra complication added (the dead beat seconds) to make it tick once per second.

If you'd put your ear to it you could hear it tick 3 times in the background and then a loud tock.
Here's a few more channels that I personally enjoy and recommend:

- Ethan Chlebowski https://www.youtube.com/@EthanChlebowski

- Adam Ragusea https://www.youtube.com/@aragusea

I tried numerous recipes from both and learned quite a bit about the technique as well.
TLDR for those not aware of the drama: ThePHD was invited to give the keynote talk at Rustconf 2023 on reflection in rust. Someone emitted doubt it was a good idea and it was pulled in an insulting manner from him. Fast forward to now where it was speculated that dtolnay (an influencal person for rust) was the one expressing doubts.

IMO there is likely a lot of miscommunication and some power trip/ego that resulted in this particular event. Yes people should apologize and improve transparency but ThePHD is really not acting well either and has a big ego of his own it seems to me.
What is "big macro"?
Before Covid, we used to have projects with Huawei that needed visits to China, specifically to their HQ in Shenzhen. The calibre of their R&D is nothing short of world class.

I've had the pleasure of deep-dive analysis and problem solving with some extremely talented and intelligent minds there. Though we had a language barrier, it became irrelevant after a few discussions.

What also amazed me about a company of that size was their decision making process and ability to commit resources and money to actions at very short notice. Their divisions and teams operate in a very autonomous style, and the teams I interacted with were definitely empowered to make strategic calls and commit to them. This may not be true across the whole organisation, but it does broadly appear to be an indicator of their culture.

Back then, they were already doing a fair amount of work on upstream cellular networking and related tech around 5G, SOC design, manufacturing processes and improvements, and a whole lot more. They were not shy about discussing sanctions and were (still are) hard at work towards self-sufficiency, sanctions or not.

What's happening now was not only expected, it could not have turned out otherwise. Also note, we're hearing about Huawei because they are one of the biggest. There are several other smaller and niche players who are part of the game.

Is the VC funding part important or just the lots of money part?
I've got the impression that VCs aren't really interested in hardware so it's governments that have to step in and fund it.

I also believe the Chinese government is throwing crazy money at this sector at the moment, I heard they were giving money out to anyone with a PhD that mentioned RISC-V or semiconductors. This was a couple of years back so not sure if this is still the case.
Can you use memory errors as a source of randomness for cryptography?

Building AI Talent Pipeline: Strategies for Attracting and Retaining AI Talent
Creating a strong AI talent pool is crucial due to the surging demand for skilled AI professionals, as noted by LinkedIn, with a 100% increase in demand for AI specialists. This has further amplified the shortage of qualified experts. Establishing a talent pipeline proactively is the solution, enabling organizations to attract and retain top AI talent more efficiently. This proactive strategy reduces hiring expenses and time, ensuring a quick response to emerging job opportunities.

Discover the secrets of building an AI talent pipeline with proven strategies to attract, recruit, and retain the best AI professionals in our latest article.
Same with Tom Clancy's. He wrote some pretty genius books with original stories and then it turned into a bunch of series that were nothing than drivel by other authors, like "op center".

Even now they stamp his name on games and series he had nothing to do with. I wish that would be illegal, writing a book under the name of someone who had nothing to do with it.

Ps the second Bourne book was soooo much better than the movie and so completely different. From the major events with characters (not wanting to spoil) to the setting in Hong Kong.

Sadly quite a lot of people predicted the broad strokes of the 2008 financial crisis, COVID and Ukraine war, although you can always argue that they should have predicted things more precisely.

- Crisis. It was just yet another round of banks making bad loans then getting bailed out by the government leading to a recession as credit was withdrawn. This has happened many times before and that it would happen again was obvious (and it will keep happening).

- "Scientists create virus that escapes and causes pandemic" was not only predicted but was such an obvious possibility that it was a sci-fi staple. Even if for some reason you still deny the lab origin, Gates/WHO and friends had spent the previous decade predicting a mega-pandemic of respiratory virus, albeit usually of flu rather than a coronavirus.

- Ukraine war, well ... there was not a shortage of words written about Russia over the past decade. And western intelligence did predict it I think, albeit only a few days in advance.

Crying wolf definitely has downsides. It's a children's parable for a reason.
It depends. My thumb joints specifically can't bear a lot of action, so all those thumb-cluster ergonomic keyboards are a non-starter for me. Hitting the space bar is about as much as my thumbs can handle.

Ask HN: Is the 1 Content for All Over?
While brushing my teeth I realised with AI we do not need to create 1 piece of content for our users - we can just use explicit and implicit signals to return the content to our users that fit best. 10 minutes later this very simple demo was done (thx to chatgpt).

In eastern europe ethnic humor is much more popular than in the west. A lot of the jokes considered perfectly fine in the balkans and a bit up north would be very much a no-no in Germany.
People of course draw the line at genocide and race. But other than that basically anything is fair game.

I think this system has to be designed for some users who will never be online. Think of villages where there is no internet access yet (only 8% of Eritrea has access to the internet for example!). Hence there can't be a 'if you don't log in for 7 days you lose your money' mode.
> It is not necessary to be among strangers in public transportation - there are many trains that provide private cabins. It's just cheaper to not have them and just cram everyone into a one big room.

This is totally impossible for urban transport like trams or buses. When you walk on the street, you're among strangers. It's exactly the same. This idea of travelling around in the city in your private little bubble is a half-century old luxury and not the standard (unless you were an aristocrat).

> If McDonalds is polluting the environment, the government is to blame for not stopping them. Consumers are not, as they individually can't do anything about them.

> You seem to imply that consumers should magically synchronize and all stop eating McDonalds at the same time to teach them a lesson, but I hope you see how that's just a pipe dream.

It's exactly the same argument as with democracy. No individual voter can decide the election but they have an individual responsibility to act according to their values. If many individuals vote with a spine, the dictator won't get elected. If many individuals consume with a spine, polluting companies will go out of business.
:-) that assumes cash is trivial. It is not for so many reasons. Cash is bulky and discrete. Cash is visible and easily snatched/coerced from you.

Apart from classical robbery held at knifepoint or gunpoint and taken to an atm and being robbed or being blackmailed to actually do instant money transfer online which do happen, there are other lower threshold but more frequently occurring and more painful cash "thefts".

One eye-opening story I learnt a while ago was this: the women daily wage workers (or the household help that comes to my home) who are typically the breadwinners for the family are coerced by their drunk husbands to give their hard earned cash which they will waste on more alcohol or gambling. This was the situation for decades. Now, with zero-balance, zero-cost bank accounts being made available at scale in India, these women can now keep their money safe and provide care for their children by refusing to give money to their husbands (usually it involves telling them they don't have the money to give when in fact they do in their banks). Such is the social reality for so many.
I remember it was hard-core techno with heavy basses and short spoken vocals intermixed. Very good quality, more on the "real music production" than on the "videogame track" side of things. Year might have been roughly 1993 to 1996

Pretty sure you could use octaMED music in games as long as they had a little driver?

I know that games often used custom drivers for software mixing to get more channels. The Turrican games (which have really outrageously good music) use a 7-channel system with four of the software channels being mixed into one of the hardware channels.

It was probably a good trade-off to only split one or two of the channels, since you might not need full 8-bit sample resolution for all instruments.

I'm pretty sure Jason Page's driver for the Graftgold games did something similar.
Where did I say he did? The first word of my post is "depending" and the first part of the first sentence is "Depending on how you actually do it", so it was pretty hard to miss that it depends.
Makes me want to distance myself from ever delving into the language knowing this is the drama the culture is engaging in.
or use calloc. Or just zero the whole buffer the first time: both mmap and calloc will have to zero on first use anyway, but future resets won't need zeroing.

Or use optimization barriers as described elsethread.

How do you define "Eastern", because the Mongols, Huns, Chinese, Japanese definetly didn't shy away from direct confrontation. Historically speaking.
A few months back it was a headline statement on the kubernetes.io web site. Something like 'XX% of organisations with more than 1,000 developers use Kubernetes".

Its origins started in Google, which has thousands of developers, and it is roughly speaking a clone of their Borg system, which, again, was designed for that scale.

> Personal guess, I think that Russia is also strongly responsible for the current bullshit going on in Bosnia

the 'current' bullshit has been going on for decades though; there's no need for Russian involvement to make it flare up occasionally (e.g. in the run-up to general elections usually). my impression is it's just Serbia feeling empowered and opportunistically using (the global focus on) Russian invasion of Ukraine to further their goals in Bosnia.
Does anyone have any idea how a person could go about trying to understand the basics of what's going on here, even in just a hand wavey way? This is so far above my head it seems like magic.
>Returning Indian and Chinese engineers and scientists means nothing if there isn't tens of billions waiting for them in funding when they get home.

China has a huge trade surplus and they are starting to trade in the BRICS currency. Why shouldn't there be billions? Once the investments pay off, why shouldn't there be even billions more?
At this point you might as well use the -o option (-o file.htm). It's easier and easier to understand.

I'd prefer wget to be a bit more clever when handling URLs query strings though, but I guess changing this behavior now might break some scripts.
Ask HN: Reducing Meeting Overload
Hello HackerNews,

Our company is drowning in meetings , and we're looking for insights to reduce this overload. Have any of you successfully tackled this issue in your organizations? We're intrigued by Spotify's approach of canceling all meetings with more then two attendees, and rebooking only when necessary. What strategies, tools, or initiatives have worked for you?

Share your experiences and tips on managing meetings effectively!

Thanks,
The pen-like mouse is intriguing.

>The calibre of their R&D is nothing short of world class.

It's no coincidence that Huawei's global R&D offices are right next to, or even exactly where the likes of Nortel, Nokia, Ericsson, ARM, Imagination, Intel, etc. either used to be or currently are, plus on the campuses of Europe's top EE universities.

If there's top talent somewhere, Huawei will invest there, and often pay better than the local competition (Ericsson and Nokia are more akin to body-shops these days).
Ah, thanks for the information! You are right.

The country is (or at least claims to be) a democracy. That doesn't mean everything inside the country is also a democracy. Families aren't. Sports clubs aren't. Churches aren't. Companies aren't. Democracy exists to give every person an equal chance to speak, in a process called voting, to help avoid despotism and push towards a future the majority of the country would like.
Late reply, but I don't disagree with that entirely. I don't think people should be totally ignorant about it, but you can be if you want to learn how to get something basic done (which is what this thread is about). I do however disagree in part because everyone tries to avoid it for a reason. It's a shitty "compile target". I can imagine a world where the canvas becomes a compile target and then all the accumulated DOM quirks become useless knowledge.
You don't need much of anything, it's just another tool to help people figure stuff out. If you've already invested the time in reading through the manuals for these tools then maybe you don't get much out of something like ChatGPT, but consider that there's thousands of new people entering the industry every year and the number of tools which they're expected to learn to use has increased over time.
