The sampled voices sound neither like Michael Jackson nor Weird Al. A good effort, but a professional impersonator could likely do better on either front.
I reported the documentation bug. I don't use Feedback Hub because it never works for this type of issue. I know that some Microsoft developers will see this blog post and I hope that internal bugs get filed.

But ultimately as a non-paid tester of Windows I'm under no obligation to report non-security bugs in any particular way. I like reporting them through twitter and blog posts.
Fine. If you don't have evidence either way, might as well go with option two.
If you're storing the identifiers then you don't need encryption, you just generate a UUIDv4 and use that as the external identifier. And then we're back at where the blog post started.
That 50% number is, IIRC a popular misinterpreted statistic. The statistic came from phone interviews asking how people would cover a $1000 emergency expense, where ~45% said they'd pay from savings. This got twisted into "~55% don't have enough savings to pay a $1000 emergency expense".

But, the second most popular option was to pay via credit card, and this does not preclude having the money in savings. Given the popularity of credit cards in the US, this makes sense too. If faced with a sudden large expense, I too would put it on credit and pay it off at the end of the cycle instead of pulling from savings, despite being able to afford the latter.

Similarly, the third most popular option was to pay the bill and cut other expenses, which also doesn't exclude savings and would be a pretty normal thing to do too.

IIRC only ~15% said they'd take a loan or borrow from friends/family.
You and I are also part of the market. We get to influence it with our decision about who to work for.
It is not about the language. Is about the people using it. They are typically not CS people. You cannot expect they program all the languages. They know typically python, matlab, and fortran. Of the 3, the one that would perform better is Fortran.
Given the bug went unnoticed for a year by millions of customers, I doubt 'the most banale Q&A testing' would have caught it.
Yes, or in the social sciences, those who just make up fake data and come up with catchy, media-friendly summaries! See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37714898
I think it would be a great business opportunity to offer paid actors who would go into a business, walk around, maybe give a few of them clipboards, have them have water cooler conversations, maybe write some technical looking stuff on whiteboards, and generally move around looking busy.

This would simulate the thrill and "buzz" of managing a busy office for these executives to cosplay without having to drag unwilling employees back.
This is the greatest addition since f-strings!
There probably is a way to find what processes have this mode enabled, but it's probably more productive to search github for references to the problematic constant.
Why would anyone find it acceptable for a company to hire a remote employee but later change the contract? That's a massive pay cut. It's weird how companies expect loyalty but cannot even keep their word from what they claimed during hiring.
>>>> The people on the assembly line would look at you like the most spoilt people in the world.

That's been part of workplace culture even when most people were in-office. The "office" and "factory" people had noticeably different working conditions. Moreover, the remote workers were largely invisible -- if we dealt with them at all, it was through their boss, or some kind of ticketing system.
Everything has to be a mode now, humans all have states.
I'm more worried about the fact that the antivirus industry hasn't gone the way of the dodo due to EDR systems, which emit warnings based on behavioral analysis instead of moving stuff to quarantine just because it happened to see a pattern of bytes in the binary.
I've tried a few, not an expert, but I think Coqui's new XTTS models are decent performance and quality wise (just in terms of how the speech sounds, can't speak to the voice cloning fidelity as I don't care about that). Open source code but non-commercial license for the model. They also have a bunch of models with more permissive licenses that aren't as good.

I doubt they're better than Google's TTS though.
To paraphrase (and fix a typo)

If the economy is a car then people saving extra is the equivalent of hitting the brake pedal and people spending more is the equivalent of hitting the accelerator (or gas) pedal.

So the huge cash reserves of large companies are a brake on the economy which is why all the politicians are so keen to increase corporation tax /s
"Holding that $5" means invested in ownership of the busines, investing in its future (including better machines, more locations, more employees), and incentives all around to keep it productive and healthy.

If money simply rotates between customer and employee, that business never existed in the first place - because somebody had to invest in the first machine, coffee, location, etc.

Really? Video conferencing seems dramatically better to me than 10 years ago. Zoom is pretty great and various tools for screen sharing are much more prevalent now. And the one thing I really missed about working in an office (being able to whiteboard something) is mostly solved now with an iPad + Apple Pencil.
To contribute some rough anecdotal evidence, when I look out the window next to where I'm sitting this exact moment I see a mix of newer and older Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, and some older SUVs. Judging from the age of those cars, I'm going to guess that most of their current owners bought them used and not new. I do not see a single pickup truck.

I'm not going to debate that the Ford F150 dominates new vehicle sales in north America, but that's only accounting for the preferences of people who are buying new vehicles and doesn't track what the used market would buy if given unlimited options.

As for the marketing argument, there's plenty of discourse surrounding it. Most new pickups are sold with short beds and extra features which make them impractical for use by many commercial trades that do use pickup trucks. There's a question of whether the F150s popularity is because of the truck's utility or because of the aesthetic desires of purchasers.
Prosecution for what? Business leaders (and employees) are allowed to change their course of action anytime.

I would keep it anyway for your records, due to it helping your claim for unemployment benefits by establishing constructive dismissal as opposed to termination for cause. But it might not work even then.
Probably not all these things need per-pixel metadata, but anisotropy exists and that means many of the variables you'd think are per-exposure are actually dependent on where in the exposure the individual pixel is. For instance, illumination level isn't uniform across a field of view for all cameras, and may need to be normalized.
Fashion is cyclical? Or is it just that these simpler icons were more adapted to the simpler video there existed at the time?
Deadlocks were probably common because people weren't used to concurrent programming, nothing about beos specific except it was unusually multithreaded for the time. That class of bug would apply to all operating systems, though people are more familiar with that paradigm now than they were in beos days.
Yes, reading the article is impossible with erratic movement on the screen.
I think here in California that you can be compelled to provide a blood sample in these instances.

> What makes them always available in the office and not always available at home?

I remember, way back in like 2012? 2015? Not sure when exactly, but we visited the office of a contractor we were working with, and they had a flatscreen on a stand in a public area with their lead developer on webcam, working from home. I don't know how everyone gets so utterly myopic that they forget you can just login to a videoconference (or IRC in the olden days) and just be available for these "quick chats" Bonus, if you need uninterrupted deep focus time, you can turn it off at your end.

And email, did we suddenly conveniently forget about that? LKML and countless other FLOSS mailing lists are proof positive that 100% remote can indeed build any scale of software.
Tears of the Kingdom is more featureful than the last few Assassin's Creed games and worked out of the box, which is more than I can say for today's Ubisoft products.
Yeah, I meant to say 'valid' reason, but it got dropped. It's been a day; my bad.

Another thing is that a lot of people contribute to 401k and other retirement plans. Those can’t be used for bills but count as savings.

Also, a lot of people have equity in their homes. I don’t know if that counts as savings, but is money that can be accessed with HELOC or sale.
> Without it China would be the leader in electric vehicles

China is the leader in EVs at this point, like it or not.
You're paying retail rate. The utility pays spot prices and attempts to manage the spot price vs retail rate spread over a window of time.
I love outrage as much as the next edgelord but a) you can turn off Windows Defender if you don’t like it, b) false positives are a fact of any antivirus program, and c) Microsoft corrected it faster than you could even post. You are failing to make it seem like Microsoft acted in bad faith here. Comparing this to running cars over people is hyperbolic.
could you answer those questions I asked you?

> Increased tax loads always get passed on to the consumer

Yep, taxes are a little bit worse than that too because the cost also gets passed to the producer as well in the form of decreased demand.

The result is fewer goods and services exchanged - ie less economic activity - than there would have been with a lower tax.

Formally, it is called deadweight loss in microecon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss?wprov=sfla1
Eh, China is using its influence in global "democratic" institutions to align votes towards outcomes it favors.
I said "especially" because all the platforms have weaknesses, but some of the platforms are worse than others.
But if it’s open installing your own, open, on-bloatware software would be easy. That’s not the case now … but it could be.

Hardware vendors then that install the vanilla, non-bloatware software will be seen as a feature. You can see this now: Google ships vanilla Android whereas some of the Android phone manufacturers ship it with their own crapware. Or on the other end of the spectrum Apple ships MacOS without advertising garbage but vanilla Windows ships games and ads in the start menu.

So I don’t really see how your argument stands.
They don't really "label every pixel" in the sense that I think about it.

Instead, they have a collection of dense arrays representing the image data itself, then have metadata at the per-array, or overall level.

A typical dataset I work with is multidimensional, it starts as:
1) 2D planes of multiple channel image intensities, typically 5K x 5K pixels, each covering just part of an overall field of view. These are like patches when you do panoramas- take 20 partly overlapping shots. Each plane contains multiple channels- that could be "red green and blue" or more complicated spectral distributions.

2) 3D information- the microscope takes photos at various depths, only the "in-focus" (within the volume of view) information. These can be stacked (like depth stacking) or turned into a 3D "volume".

3) Maybe the data was collected over multiple time points, so (1) and (2) repeat every hour. Other parameters- like temperature, etc, could also represent an entire dimension.

4) Every 2D plane has its own key-value metadata, such as "what color channels were used", "what objective was used" (magnification), and lots of other high-dimensional attributes (that's what they mean by "each pixel must be labelled with metadata"- the 3D position is the same for every pixel in a 2D plane.

5)

Generally all of this is modelled as structures, arrays, and structures of arrays/arrays of structures. In the case of OME-zarr, it's modelled as an n-Dimensional array with dimensions expressed in a filesystem hierarchy (first dimension typicall the outermost directory, innermost dimension usually a flat file containing a block of scalar points using some compressed numpy storage. Then at each level of the directory you have additional .json files which contain attributes at that level of the data.

Those partly overlapping 2D planes are often assembled into panoramas, which can be a lot more convenient to work with. There are various tools for working with this- I've used navigation map javascript, but napari is a desktop app wiht full suport for sectioned viewing of high-dimensional (7d) data.

OME-zarr is nice because it sort of uses the same underlying tech that the machine learning folks use, and it's ostensibly "optimized for object storage", but I still have lots of complaints with the implementation details, but it's important for me not to distract the OME-zarr team from making the standard successful.
Sure, I agree with all of that.
Yes. The article links to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213583, which describes the feature.
> NT we hosting was a pain, but front page did make it a popular option you had to support.

I don't remember the details, but at the micro-ISP I worked at, I got frontpage extensions working on Apache for customers.

We had two T1s, one for upstream, one for modems (which I never got to play with), we also contracted out nationwide dialup through megapath? or someone... We ran a radius auth server and they did the rest. Some java accounting package; I did an integration for ach billing, and made a module so we could sell domains (via Tucows OpenSRS). At some point, the modem T1 stopped working and we couldn't get the telco to fix it, so we had to move all the customers to the outsourced dialup provider, which wasn't great for the business... I left because of scheduling/poor performance at school and they got purchased by a customer.
Chic-fil-A is controversial because of it's political contributions and stated political preferences, but as far as I'm aware it has some of the better working conditions out there.
Preferable for those who would use your code. If it’s just you then it’s your exclusive preference. If you have users, args/kwargs is going to be more opaque than a more explicit option.

For code with many users, creating a few extra minutes of work for one dev is preferable when the alternative would be every dev who uses that code has to spend that same extra work and then some to grok what exactly is going on with the method signatures. Being explicit also creates traceable code, in that you can search a keyword to find everywhere it’s used or passed rather than tracing methods where it might be used.

I can promise very few users would be thankful for the elegance and minimalism of args/kwargs when they’re source-diving trying to figure out how to get some basic functionality to work.
I am using a variant of SnowflakeId [^1] in order to have 64 bit keys too.

It's similar to UUIDv7 (it leaks the creation time), but it's not an issue for me.

So I am able to have a single 64 bit key, which can easily be formatted into a small string for user-facing urls.

> Turns out when you hunt large mammals in a group, the statistical physical advantages men have don't really matter all that much

Even if women and men are equal in their hunting skill, it would still make evolutionary sense for women not to participate in the hunts. Hunting large mammals is dangerous, and men are more disposable than women. If a tribe loses most of its men, it can still survive since a single man can impregnate multiple women. Whereas if a tribe loses most of its women it is far more likely to die out.

Thanks for saying the obvious in a polite fashion. I started to write something out but realized I'd just cause offense. To me, it's obvious that a better educated society is a better society. We could actually go further and actually pay people to go to school.

Lassie | Software Engineer | ONSITE (San Francisco) | Full-time

We're building the financial OS for independent doctors. Today, 80% of payments are on paper.

We digitize and completely automate their finances, merging insurance payments, bank accounts, and billing systems into a beautiful, unified ledger. Our product saves practices 10+ hours a week and reconciles their business in real-time. They love us for it :)

We have exceptional product-market fit with 150+ practices relying on us to run their business, and can't meet the demand of our 1,000+ waitlist. That's where you come in!

- Architect a data pipeline to reliably ingest and process millions of insurance claims across all the major insurance carriers.

- Develop smart bank ledgers using raw payment rails, enabling perfect reconciliation across any bank account and accounting system.

- Design an onboarding experience that feels like magic and gets us to 50% market share in 2 years. Typically measured in weeks, we already do it in 1 hour. Now, we want to fully automate it.

- Drive the industry-wide shift from paper to electronic payments by automating processes that are made to be manual and cumbersome.

- Shape the financial dashboard for independent doctors, allowing them to understand and control their finances for the first time.

We are a small, in-person team with outsized impact and care deeply about the quality of our work. Our founding team brings together serial founder experience, early growth at Robinhood, Coinbase, and HealthTap, early product at Superhuman, and engineering at Ramp, Citadel, and Uber.

We are backed by great investors (Homebrew, SV Angel, Unusual, Sequoia scouts), founders (TransferWise, Commure, NexHealth, Superhuman), and early employees/execs (Stripe, Ramp, Plaid, Robinhood, Coinbase, Palantir, Venmo).

Ask HN: How to learn to be a programmer in 20 years?
I'm a CS grad.Spent 1 year out of college learning programming after college ended as well (So total 5 years of trying to learn to program). I want to write tictactoe, snake game (I know real programmers laught at this), a html css website that doesn't suck. I want to write a complete application.

I can code though. I've banged my head against the wall.

I'm currently a linux admin. I am working towards becoming a devops engineer. Since I know code a lot well compared to other linuxadmins, I've created a good reputation among developers :) lol. Let's see how long this lasts :)

I'm wondering how can I learn to program in say 20 years along with my linuxadmin job? And later devops job?

I measure my success with how much I am able to program. Because it's something I find hard to do, and I really want to do it THUS.

Guide me.

I've heard about learn programming in 10 years, but I'm very patient, I can wait. I want to learn programming in 20 years. Tell me how to do it.

Provide me a full roadmap of things I should do?

Should I re-learn CS concepts? What should I do?
Exactly right, the real title should be "my employer sucks and working conditions are not reasonable".

But no, the writer titled "return to office is bullshit and everyone knows it", which phrased like that is patently false.

Return to office can be a problem if some other conditions are true, like your office sucks, you are made to clock in clock out at inflexible hours, commute is inconvenient, etc. Why not talk about that.
Some believe the benefits of RTO are closer to the ability of an entire team to eat from the same crock of chili at a potluck.

There are discussions and topics that just work better in-person. If you think you have (or could arrange to have) 0% or 3% those types of conversations, you're fine to work fully remote. If you think you have 70% or 90% those types of conversations, you're logically going to want to RTO to whatever extent you're prioritizing company outcomes.
Makes sense, and this product looks solid. I'd go for a more active tagline, though?
It's pointless to say things like "500 tabs under 3GB" without knowing what's loaded in these tabs.
8GB of volatile memory will be a swapfest every time a "modern" browser opens.

I agree! Many aspects of deregulation have been exceedingly negative, and a lot of investment is needed to decarbonize the grid anyways.
Ah, seems like the term is being co-opted for the general populace and is now trendy! We used to just call it backpacking.

Rucking originated as a military term for a long jog with a heavy rucksack (hence the name!) and was always pretty shitty because rucksacks suck and the military has no shortage of heavy shit to carry. I’ve heard stories of 80+ lb rucksacks and 8+ miles being the norm.

Weirdly, the military also coined ‘Vitamin I’ for ibuprofen. I wonder why?

Ah how the world changes. I can’t wait for it to mean going on a casual walk with a loved one while bringing along a nice meal and some wine. ;)

Thanks for explaining!
