I'm a tech enthusiast with a solid computer science background, and my software journey has been quite the adventure. I've explored a range of projects, from crafting C++ VPNs to diving into DJI drones (fun fact: I tackled debugging on unreleased devices, spanning the US to EU distance!), and I've also built some nifty enterprise apps.

I've worked with code analysis tools and seamlessly integrated medical devices via Bluetooth, taking on projects that go beyond the typical CRUD tasks. Additionally, I've had a great time as a lecturer, and it appears that people really enjoyed my courses. So, if you're looking for someone who's passionate about tech and enjoys challenging projects, just drop me an e-mail :).
Interested in creating your own virtual dressing rooms? In this article, we will explain how to develop a virtual fitting solution and share our experience in working on such products to help you understand what to prepare for when starting such a project.
If we take the bell curve as at least somewhat true then at least half of the population should not be cast as ignoramuses, at least in possibility.

Regardless, even if it were only the top 2% that could understand a small enough government in a meaningful way, that would be better than a government too large to be understood by no one in any meaningful way. It is not a black and white situation.

I also don't see why experts would be cast out from a smaller government. That, to me, seems like the product of more black and white thinking in pursuit of some fallacious nirvana that can only be used to dismiss the idea that a much smaller government might be better and possible.
Yes, but ironically.

More specifically, devices like this are cool when not widely known or adopted.

As for "elite control", "elite" ain't controlling shit here - they're just peddling things to general population and raking it in. Outside of misplaced paranoia about government (misplaced in that spooks don't wait for surveillance equipment to be available off-the-shelf), people aren't worried about elites, they're worried about each other - randos on the streets being creeped out by other randos on the street. Society doesn't have the levels of kindness and trust to tolerate these kinds of technologies. Which is a shame, given the positives.

(Of course those technologies being developed by advertising companies isn't a good thing, but notice how hardly anyone talks about that. People are too creeped out by each other, and not enough by advertisers.)
Because the road one belt failed. They didn't gain much influence with it, they did the opposite. Eg. the delivered projects aren't good quality either.

And it wasn't going to get any better.

They did also succeed at a small coverup for their construction overcapacity at home.

But let's be clear: all those projects had to be paid.

There's just a difference to get the money without actually delivering those projects, not everyone is happy :)
My opinion of lower tier cities is that they don’t have a lot of infrastructure (See: public transit, decent internet, etc…), lack certain kinds of development (bars, coffee shops, restaurants that accommodate diets), and they tend to lack diversity.

But this is anec-data, with n=1
100% in agreement there and that is exactly why I focused solely on LinkedIn to build my network. Now it all vanished.
Facts:

Ukraine's population was 37M.

~25% of Ukrainians (~9M) have left their homes.

8.2M have left the country.

Of those 8.2M, 90% are women and children.

This suggests that there are AT LEAST around 8M men that would also have liked to leave, but are legally and practically prohibited from doing so, something that is a violation of their human rights.

The vast majority of human beings everywhere recoil from violence and do everything they can to avoid it. It is only when power structures impose harsh physical penalties for avoiding violence do they submit to wars and such.
They want to be inside of your house in the northern US, this time of year when it gets cold they will crawl in any opening. Then they die because they can't get back outside.
> Perhaps this statement should be restricted to just say the costs of investing in real estate would be reduced. Small difference I know, but I think it’s an important distinction.

It's especially important in this case because of the implications: One of the parties who "invest" in real estate is construction companies, who hold the real estate while they're building it. Lowering their costs makes them more profitable, so you get more construction -- which lowers housing costs by removing the realtor's vig and by the increase in the housing supply.

Sure, but Microsoft doesn't always use them.
My house has more than doubled in value, and I'm not at all happy about it, because apart from the moral issues of access to housing, on a purely selfish note, I, as most people, are more interested in trading up than down, and as my house has doubled, so have the more expensive houses I might want to move to.

Effectively, rising house prices harm me too, not just first time buyers

House prices increasing are only a benefit to people treating it as an investment, and if it's your primary home, then that means planning for trading down.
Yes and no.

Generative AI as a technology isn't going anywhere and is very much going to increase in scope, scale, and necessity in most workflows.

But the vast majority of AI companies that cropped up riding the swell are going to be out of business in the near future.

Which is pretty standard. 90% of new companies aren't still in business a decade later no matter the field.

It's just that there's been a lot more new companies in a single new space since maybe 1999.

So expect a significant 'pop' of a bubble without there being any underlying issues with the tech or its applications.

(Possibly even more than typical given the rate of change and likelihood any custom product right now is building into its own obsolescence.)
But the real money maker will be showing ads to these premium users with their buying power...
I think its great that someone is trying to make haskell not suck to use. Better still that its very ambitious as it means people will learn much if or when it doesn't meet its aspirations.
Yes, would have to fall on the state, as in US State, not the domain of the Feds.

Being a nationwide problem, they probably wouldn't be able to solve the problem. Because solving the problem means everyone moves to your state.
Math was always a must for a scientist, todays computer science is also a must. The study programmes should reflect that.
Excellent reply.

> You can easily have more than 10M code points in this way. The current set of Hangul syllables, precomposed or not, is 125 * 95 * 138 = 1,638,750 characters. Latin characters with at most 3 combining marks (known to exist in the wild) would be probably in the same order of magnitude. Maybe now you can try, thanks to the computing power and all the information, but in 1990? Fat chance.

It can be made to work both ways. The current situation pushes the handling of compose points onto the application programmer. Every time he wants to index into a array of characters, maybe to handle backspace of the user pressing arrow keys, he's forced to handle composition. But your average programmer tasked with writing gathering some information from the web or creating an accounting package doesn't care about this stuff, so he's going to stuff it up 10 times out of 10. That why the sorts of problems illustrated original article are legion today.

The alternative is 10M code points as you say. But it doesn't have to be 10M real code points. Someone down the software stack, a piece of software could say "oh, this code point represents a composed grapheme, I'll break it down into it's parts". In fact "break it down into it's parts" might mean turn it into exact representation we have now.

The difference between the two alternatives is who has to do the work. With the composition approach, the font rendering library has it slightly easier but the application write has to do more work. In the 10M code points approach, the application writers job has been made easier, at the expense of the font rendering library coder job has become harder.

It seems pretty obvious to me which of those two approaches wins. There are literally orders of magnitude more end user applications than there are font rendering libraries out there, and what's more the font rendering library programmers are far more likely to very concerned about doing grapheme clustering right. So if you took the 10M code point approach, you would have saved the planet a lot of code, and got a better result to boot.

As for the rest - your correction that 10646 was the source of many of them problems is appreciated. But that doesn't alter the fact that from a programmers perspective the spec is far harder to implement at the business end than it should be. The problems started with USC-2 and it compounded form there. And as a consequence, we have a large number of font rendering bugs we could have escaped had the spec been done differently.
it doesn't sound like he's saying you need to be number 1. but that you at least need a certain level of traffic to be able to get as good as Google. But I can't imagine it possible that Bing doesn't already have far beyond enough traffic for the task. How much are they really investing in search R&D?
Satya Nadella on Copilot
Never seen intentional trigraphs in the wild and I doubt most people have given that they're disabled by default in GCC. A search did turn up whatever the fuck this is though:

https://searchcode.com/file/12650181/blib/lib/prawda/grammar...

Doesn't turn into anything meaningful with trigraph replacement. I'd guess that it's essentially a giant regex matching a header in some horrible, unknown dialect, but I'm not brave enough to look through the codebase to find out.

It looks more complicated. You get the same cumbersome communication primitive (channels), except now native code can easily get messed up. And it requires more care when developing the interpreter itself.

Using multiprocessing was actually pretty easy (apart from the communication primitives, which obviously suck).

I started a newsletter for recommending the best movies to weekend watchers
As I frequently discuss movies on my Instagram, many people began asking me for recommendations. They were happy with my suggestions and even passed them along to their friends.

Realizing that people appreciated my movie expertise, I began writing about films on my blog. Eventually, I started a newsletter to share recommendations with larger groups of weekend movie watchers.
I’ll say what everyone is thinking but won’t say; Bing is a horrible name and is a theme of Microsoft’s lackluster approach to search and, well, anything internet. They slow-follow. So why should they have an easy time competing against Google?
Nonsense. You need to trust your compiler, so you need to trust asan, ubsan or msan. This tests them.
You need this product to extend your Twitter inquisitor zeal to the offline environment. /s

No joke, I remember at uni muslim girls who were obliged by their family to have their phone on permanently when not in a strict controlled group. The latter love these things.
I’m a capitalist but housing, like a place of shelter for you and your family, should be in a separate asset class.

Just lock up housing so that a single individual can’t own more than 3 homes.

Get married you get six houses you can own.

If that’s not enough maybe you need to reassess whether it makes sense to dump money into a house or put it to some actual better use.

Like creating jobs or new products.
> Yes, there are some extreme ... fanatics(?), who can live with a phone that doesn't have YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Drive or Play Store in it, but the Joe/Jill Regular will never ever go for that today.

I would fit your definition of fanatic and I have a friend who does too. The only google service we still use is YouTube because that’s the hardest one to replace entirely unless you want to cut yourself from a lot of very interesting and entertaining content. Otherwise it’s not so hard. Gmail is hardly the best offering on the market, Apple Maps are good enough for most tasks (Google Maps still has better POI data sadly), etc. You don’t need to be a “fanatic” to de-googleify your life, even if only partially.
> but I'm guessing that I'm going to think it is too low when I hear the actual fine

> I received 2 citations with each carrying a $500 fine.

A $1000 fine in the absence of any actual damage is completely insane and potentially life-altering for low-income people. I cannot imagine what would make you think such a fine is "too low".

I guess this is what happens when people are raised in a society where crippling punishments for slight offenses are the norm, as long as the offender is a person and not a corporation or government institution.
Terrific, I'd been looking for something like this for a while. Thank you so much!
This is awesome, is there something similar tor Android?
Ljubljana is a truly beautiful city, and I recently enjoyed touring its many interesting streets, noting the stark contrast between the older historical buildings, the soviet era, and the modern structures being placed, with quite some care it seems, for the aesthetics of the city. Almost everywhere you look, there is a whimsical beauty that seems so well placed.

During this particular trip I noticed early on, the constant presence of bees .. whether it was a small swarm moving en masse across the sunny sky, or a small lane of bees flying above our heads as we walked through their flight corridors.

It wasn't until later in the visit that I discovered that Ljubljana has a special relationship with bees, and in fact as a city has integrated beekeeping throughout the cities parks and public places.

It truly felt like the bees were just normal denizens of the city going about their day - with things to do, places to be, just like the rest of us (although I was in tourist mode) .. and the cities many gardens and flower fields made a lot of sense as I learned that Slovenians have a lot of respect for these wonderful, delicate, super important creatures.

If you get the chance to visit Llubljana, its an unsung gem of this part of Europe in my opinion. Be sure to learn about the Bee Path!

Kinda like ClosedAI. Let's do this because we can and it's profitable (shareholders) and cool (software engineers). People lose jobs? That's just life man, I mean we do get to keep ours so...
That can happen cause it some point some LLM folks are scraping HN. But then, aren’t the majority of LLM owners the same that own the social media products, especially the centralized ones. It is indeed scary where we are heading. Side question, what does OP stand for?
Having gone remote in 2020, I’ve noticed similar to things to what you mention. Or, it’s almost like there’s a set of soft skills that develop when working from home. Writing styles change, and people speak/listen in a different cadence during videoconference.

Once you learn it, you can become very productive and endearing, but it takes time. It’s not for everyone like you mention.
It's true that the last 15 years have been a fantastic time to buy a house. And yes, you are better off compared to those who didn't do that because they were too young or didn't have the money. But don't ever feel bad about this because you're basically treading water with inflation:

1. Through the years you own your home, you will pay roughly 1% of the notional value of the property in state and local property taxes EACH YEAR. You already know this.

2. When you sell your house, agents will eat 5% and the state you are in will take another ~3%. Other closing costs, the expense and the hassle to spruce up the house for sale. Round it off to a 10% haircut of the selling price.

3. If you're single the first $250K of capital gains on your primary residence is exempt from federal income tax. Beyond that the IRS will take its cut. Include the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) and you're looking at 24% tax on any capital gains, assuming you will be in a high tax bracket when you sell. And depending upon the state you live in, there will be capital gains taxes paid to the state.

Now look around you at the prices of groceries and meals. I have seen these costs roughly double in the last 8 years.

So it's not just that your house has appreciated in value -- it's more that the value of the dollar has gone down. And the plumbers and electricians and construction workers needed to build a new house have also gotten more expensive. By buying real estate you have managed to preserve your buying power somewhat so it's not eaten up by inflation.

You're not as rich as you think, but at least you're better off than the intern and your younger siblings. (edit: formatting)
It's not about transferring resources. It's about making sure there's enough competition.

Ironically, there is more and more search competition appearing. Bing isn't great, but other things are.

> we bumped hard into a lot of the typical ecosystem problems

I think those are the things we really wanted to hear from you about!

I'm actively working on improving the Haskell ecosystem. I'm aware of a lot of "typical ecosystem problems" that cause challenges for onboarding of new Haskell users but I'm not actually aware of many problems for users who are onboarding and generally successfully using Haskell. I suppose general tool cruftiness might be one of those but I think it's a much bigger problem for new users than experienced users.

If you could mention the problems you ran up against I would appreciate it.
LinkedIn is a security risk, it allowed me to be stalked by a crazy bank employee despite me "locking down" my profile.

I can't hibernate because I am in a free trial period with Apple for premium, despite ending the trial. I've blocked the stalker, but I have no idea who is viewing my profile.

It needs to really up its game.

Not entirely related to my gripe, but my observation is that Microsoft's pay-freeze and layoffs of employees seem to be having ripple effects across the org.

Portability is probably a big thing, the fact that Kindles are advertised as being significantly thinner than a paper book. There is also just a large lack of innovation in that area, due to the fact that Kindles sell no matter what. Very few improvements are made but new Kindles always perform well.

20+ years contracting across three continents and have hired devs at 2 of the FAANG companies.

Linkedin has always been there but never mandatory to find or land a job.

And I stand by my point that you're better off talking with recruiters directly and building that relationship rather than some meaningless Linkedin connect. 100x more so if you're contracting or consulting.
