Even ignoring the legal liability aspects of posting such content... it is bad enough when you have to fire someone, to then proceed to post the reasons for it online seems a bit rude, if not downright sociopathic.
I seriously doubt that YC discriminates on age deliberately.

My understanding is that you're expected to do 3 months in San Francisco and that would stop most people with a family. Which is like most people over 30.
Has Reddit forgotten the history of oft-fabled failed sites like Digg?
I love the idea of low code/no code for fast prototyping and experimentation. We use Zapier extensively for exactly that. Once the experiment is tweaked and considered a success, we port it to code.

The problem comes in the middle phase, after until deployment and before turning it in to code: version control, debugging, collaboration etc is all a nightmare with no/code and so if any experiment gets too big it’s a real pain to deal with.
You could insure that though. The cost of the policy would be higher than the cost of just eating the losses, but there are insurance companies willing to write the policy if you are stupid enough to pay for it. For things that happen all the time you are better off self-insuring it - that is eating the loss - than getting a policy. Insurance makes sense for rare events that are high enough loss that you would not want to self insure. Any common loss you should self insure, and the same for small losses. Only for larger losses that are not common are you better off with a pool of people who also might have that loss but probably won't - odds are one of you will but not all so you all limit your costs.
Does it not also apply to the service provider?
Does the service provider also get the right to consent to show their content or services under certain conditions?

In a voluntary society, both parties must consent to the arrangement for a user to (freely) use a service.
That could be the template it was cloned from
I was recently tasked with a reverse engineering project that ended up being a real drag to carry out. The work literally felt like a puzzle, which I normally love, so why not this one?

This post is about tips for designing better tools & controls interfaces, but in the process of writing it I came up with an even more interesting idea at the root of the problem, so I’ll start there!

Every challenge in life can be viewed as a puzzle, and by classifying the qualities that make puzzles challenging we can improve our approach to designing better tools & solving them!
I'd love to hear your feedback after taking a few minutes to try it out! We think this will be easy enough for non-developers to grok while also flexible enough for engineers to do whatever they want.
Weird...they were recruiting just last month.
Using the term 'anti-piracy' makes the speaker a shill for 'pro-censorhip' or 'anti-knowledge' or 'elitist' or whatever groups. Look at the effectiveness of well-crafted public communications: The people you don't like are 'pirates' - criminals; threats to order; dangerous to civilians; wild, drunken and low status. And 'our' side is against piracy!

We need neutral terminology for both sides. Even 'intellectual property' tries to transform a time-limited monopolistic license from government for intangible goods into eternal real estate. Any ideas?
It's fine to visit, but in every measure of happiness people in poor countries are more lonely and report worse life satisfaction.
Originally you were talking about bluetooth being there for the cashier to work the pumps, now you're talking about what the thief is doing, which are two different things.
All the kids who bought drugs in my small town bought them from a cop's kid or a teacher.
If you're on android, there's a bunch of bluetooth-serial apps that let you send more or less whatever raw data you want.

On iOS, there's nrf connect. Which is slightly more limited, but can still do BLE. I think there's other bluetooth-serial apps for iphones, but apple has a stick up their butt about bluetooth-classic not working super good unless the other device has a "made for i" chip/cert in it.

If either of these don't work well enough, ESP32s can be had for <$5 and can act as a bridge between your device and whatever you want to exploit.
I will let users decide whether they want comments or not. I've also considered public/private notes, as I am working on something similar, and I've reached the conclusion that people post on a web app because they want to be seen; otherwise, they would just write in their diary. Private notes always give me a sense of false privacy, as anyone with admin access to the database can read whatever private things you've written, unless you make it clear to users that "private" means not viewable by other users but not private from the admins. An alternative is to offer an offline app, private notes never sync to the server (cross-device syncing can be done by iCloud, for example).
I was pointing out as a fact that honeybees deplete nectar from the habitats they're introduced and they're voracious. The honey they fill their hives with is collected nectar from flowers, nectar other wildlife don't have access to. You really don't see other pollinators hoarding nectar this way, and higher honey production has been bred into them. I brought this up since it's not well known among non-biologists, and even beekeepers often don't connect the dots there. Sometimes beekeepers run too many hives, fully deplete their local area and wind up with an impoverished local ecosystem of their on making and weak bees to boot.

Does this effect matter in comparison to other things? Maybe, it depends on the ecosystem and local context. I haven't made any normative statements, just pointed out a fact. If I were to offer a normative opinion, it's that beekeepers should be aware of the effects of their beekeeping and try to be responsible, not keeping hives in areas where they would have an undesirable effect on the pollinators of an ecosystems that's vulnerable.

Yes, but that does not mean that LLMs "understand" showbiz or screenwriting.

Being able to talk about a topic and even coming across as knowledgeable and helpful is not the same thing as actually understanding something.

This isn't limited to LLMs, of course.
I don't agree. I've owned a ThinkPad T and currently have a Framework. I'd give the build quality edge to the Framework, even without the repairability (which is obviously better).
Whew. Lots of complaints from people who probably will never need to use this code.

If you need docs just read the .h files, they have extensive comments. I’m sure they’ll add them or maybe, just maybe, you could write some to contribute.

This would have made some of my previous work much easier, it’s really nice to see google open source this.
That's great! Competition will develop.
> 2.5 minutes per application seems really reasonable and short?

That's what I thought as well. I suppose 2.5 minutes feels incredibly long if you're spending your day watching 10 second reels on TikTok and Instagram.

I can imagine an objection being "happiness is not just about money" - and that's true!

But it seems to me that if one (subconsciously, maybe) worries about money, one will be better off psychologically, compared to someone who has so little to worry about that they start to worry about things that they can't control.
This is such an interesting topic, where the conclusions are so politically charged that no ones wants to risk their careers.

See this article in the NYT:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/15/nyregion/shoplifting-arre...

"Nearly a third of all shoplifting arrests in New York City last year involved just 327 people, the police said. Collectively, they were arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said."

Can you predict crimes? Of course you can, the math is clear. The solution to reduce crime is also logical and clear, but politically unfeasible: extended incarceration.

All the handwringing about various side topics, like race, gender, class are just distractions. See El Salvador's murder rate drop this year too. WSJ, with handwringing: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-country-with-the-highest-mu...

Criminals commit crimes, a lot. Once you have identified a criminal, you can safely predict more crimes. No AI needed, a simple spreadsheet will suffice.

And here, another article for a balanced world view - Ireland:
https://www.sundayworld.com/crime/irish-crime/decrease-in-le....

"A significant decrease in burglaries in most Leinster counties is being attributed by senior gardaí to the deaths of three prolific criminals as well as a number of arrest operations."
i think they'd still spy, you just wouldn't get ads. The more they spy and learn about their users the more accurate the ads become for those that chose to see them.
Why would you have to enable devtools? Also, with just an unpaid icloud account, you can build, sign, and install apps to devices with an expiry time of one week.
Refcounting is a form of garbage collection. While C++ and Rust also have refcounting, it is the default memory management mode in Swift in a way that it is not in C++ and Rust (where the defaults are more using stack based or unique_ptr/Box before reaching for refcounting).
It’s ok; the only way to offend me is subject-verb disagreement. And anyway, I also have a degree in math, which is why I find the constant “I’m a lawyer it’s ok that I can barely count” particularly amusing.
Ask HN: Can you still do research in CS/SE without AI expertise?
Do you now need at least one of your coauthors to be an AI expert?
Haha, unlikely. I just know the feeling.

Another experiment - have a friend update your resume while you take those shots, and then see if you can really object to the results the next day. ;)
Something's wrong with it. Mine is fine.

Swap the ports and see if the problems moved with the module, or stay fixed with a port location. Try on a LiveCD with Linux to rule out the OS. If nothing else - probably MB.
Thinking more of the "schools" inside the services themselves - "Arabic language school", "electronics for radar technicians", "nuclear reactor plumbing" etc.
Proven track record?

As in, you have been running this for years through different market conditions with real money and live trading? Or proven track record as in you had some positive backtesting on a brand new system?
I agree. We believe we've pulled off what hasn't been done before and solve the issues you mention. We're adding "step though debugging" (simple version is live today), version control (upcoming weeks), etc. to give an enterprise ready experience.

Nothing exaggerated, your comment implied scale was your justification: in which case there'd better have been some crazy high load that just brought the tool you already had to its knees to justify paying an additional closed source platform and manually having to pipe data to it in addition to your main data store.

Of course if I sounded incredulous it's because I didn't think you had that scale, and it sounds like I was correct?
> Pharmaceuticals known as GLP-1 agonists help people lose weight while anecdotal evidence suggests they also cut urges to consume addictive substances, including alcohol, and cigarettes. The growing popularity of the drugs could hurt demand for companies including PepsiCo Inc., the maker of Pepsi soda and Lay’s potato chips, McDonald’s Corp., and Altria Group Inc,, the cigarette maker, according to Barclays strategists led by Jigar Patel in a note on Tuesday.

Barclays is putting fast food in the same category as "addictive substances, including alcohol, and cigarettes"? It almost feels as if Fast Food is on the cusp of having a Tobacco Industry-esque whistle-blower revelation.
> no US army in India, as opposed to Germany and other EU countries

Washington wants New Delhi for countering China. That’s a longer-term threat than Russia. If the U.S. Navy wanted to cripple India, it would do so by blockade. This energy insecurity is a well-known weakness of India’s; it’s not a coincidence that China has naval ports in Lahore and Sri Lanka. (It’s also why you don’t see Washington lighting up about India’s coal. A coal-burning India is less sensitive to e.g. the PLA Navy disrupting its seaborne crude imports.)

For a cleaner illustration of this trade-off, see Washington twiddling its thumbs while gazing into the distance while Ottawa and New Delhi duke it out.
The hinge _was_ light on the old ones (deliberately, they wanted it to be easy to open with one hand), but after a lot of feedback like this, they went with a heavier one. I have a 12th gen and a 13th gen (one is my wife's), and the new one has a stiffer hinge that doesn't move if you aggressively move the laptop.

Because it's Framework, you can of course buy the heavier hinge and put it on the older models; I haven't, because it's not a problem for me, but if it's one for you, it's a fix you can do cheaply.
You better have another look a the Swedish gang murder rate, it's staggering (in Swedish terms).

Unless your AI is giving you direct citations (i.e. a search engine) then probably not. Research that isn't based on factual evidence is usually dismantled before it gets published.

Giving Fairphone money has a much higher chance of turning the whole industry than supporting shitty companies. If it's shit you're probably going to buy another one next year anyway, and in the end spend a similar amount over 10 years
Good point: named arguments/keyword parameters actually do negate some of the need for this. Qt is obviously designed for the limitations of C++, so this definitely makes sense. (And yes, CaseInsensitive is not necessarily ideal either. That's a fair point. But, given the limitations, I definitely see why they picked that route.)

However, I will say one thing: there is another good reason to consider using enumerations in place of booleans, and that's when you have a situation where you are not 100% absolutely sure that 1-bit of information is sufficient. For example...

A bit contrived but, let's say you have a method that can optionally perform some kind of validation, like let's say, in C syntax so I don't embarrass myself, you have something like this:

void process_request(request req, bool validate);

This works well, although it obviously fails to the boolean parameter trap. But in D, you can avoid the boolean parameter trap, so that's not too big of a deal. However... I think that in many cases, boolean values are used in cases where you just happen to have something that only has two options, and not necessarily something that is true by nature. For example, maybe you want a validation mode where you only log a message but do not halt processing upon validating. Something like this could work:

void process_request(request req, bool validate, bool allow_invalid);

But there's a lot of ways you could go about trying to name allow_invalid, it's arguably a pretty bad name. Worse, it only really makes sense when validate = true. In my opinion, something like this would be better:

typedef enum {
NO_VALIDATION = 0,
VALIDATE_AUDIT = 1,
VALIDATE_ENFORCE = 2,
} validation_mode;

void process_request(request req, validation_mode validate);

For case-sensitivity, maybe it's true that this is not necessarily important. However, for regex options in particular, I think what you MIGHT want is more like a set of flags rather than either a pure enumeration OR a pure boolean. Of course, at that point, it does beg the question if maybe regex options should go in their own options structure of some kind, at which point boolean would make more sense again, but at least for shorthand, having a simple flags option seems reasonable to me. (I haven't checked how Qt does it currently. I would not be surprised if they have a longer form "options" overload, too.)

They watch trends. If the store isn't making money - losses is only a part of this - they will not invest. The building and parking lot is only expected to last 20 years or so - they will stop maintaining them to milk out more profit until they fall apart and then pull up shop. Stores that are making money get remodeled and the parking lot repaved.
My takeaway from reading all this is that there is no reason this article should have made it to the front page of HN, as all it did was create confusion and burn 10 minutes of my time trying to clarify what was happening. Nothing about this article or the discussion it has created is interesting, just frustrating.

Ask HN: Searching for wireless split keyboard due to shoulder injury
Hi all, I’m totally new to mechanical keyboards. I recently suffered an accident to my right shoulder and I will be in a sling for a significant time. My plan is to have a right keyboard on my lap on a pillow, or probably something similar but firmer. Can anybody recommend a wireless split keyboard? Does anybody have experience with this kind of set up? Would the moonlander do the job?

https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/

Secondarily I live in London, UK, and I need the keyboard ASAP, as I depend on it to be able to work. Therefore recommendations on where I can buy such a keyboard in the UK would also be appreciated.

I have found:

Works fine for us so far. Discovery of newly added files is immediate. Downloading speed is fast.
It’s quite easy to get this to work, you need to have a few or more instances with these objects pinned.
And make sure the bandwidth and other resources are sufficient and the servers are always online.
Or use a reliable pinning service that can do this for you.
Many people seem to think that developers need a lot of guidance, yet I’ve never seen someone proving that point.

What's the issue with Qualcomm's WiFi card?
No, it's not. Refcounting CAN be a garbage collection algorithm, but in Swift it's deterministic and done at compile time. Not to mention recently added support for non-copyable types that enforces unique ownership: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...
And we've avoided enacting one for decades too.
Just like all visual generative AI, it gets the first 95% but doesn't get the last 5% that takes 95% of the time. Kerning pairs on typefaces take an incredible amount of human time. Years of full-time work for a large type family. After all these years, even Adobe can't perfectly automate kerning because making letters look right next to each other isn't (obviously) formulaic. Maybe generative AI will nip it in the bud? Certainly hasn't so far, but maybe it will. Obviously in monospaced fonts, like that last one, kerning isn't an issue.

More correctable in these models would be the balance between the letterforms. Surely if there was some kind of prompt you could tell it to not make those Ms in that bold serif font to be obnoxiously wide?

Either way, as of now, what this gets us is exactly 90% less useful and probably of lower quality than the stuff you can get for free on dafont.com. I know it will progress, but I imagine the best use case for generative AI and font creation for commercially viable fonts would be to give roughs glyphs to fill out a large character set as an aid for a professional type designer.

And surely there will be a chorus of people insisting that it doesn't matter. Well, you're wrong. If you blindly showed people a headline, book, poster or whatever with properly kerned type and then one without, they will see how much more polished the properly kerned page is, even if they couldn't tell you specifically why. In a lot of situations, that really, really matters, even to people who haven't developed the ability to point out the differences.

You have to force the high school scenario all over again, where you spend a whole lot of time together and you really don't have much alternatives so getting to know phase naturally becomes friendship over the course of time .

I think the best to do this is to have a goal and be pretty intense about reaching it, so those who share your same goal would naturally gravitate towards each other and spend a bunch of time together.

And the goal must have the following characteristics

1) It cannot be a generic such as "making money" or "become famous" because there are endless ways to skin those cats and when the hard stuff is gonna come people might be tempted to eject the effort and pursue one of the other avenues.

2) It has to be something that can be shared among the participants to the effort (in order to avoid internal conflict)

3) If you want it to be long lasting you need pretty serious competitors and enemies as well to propel the US v. THEM narrative and fuel the comradery inside the group

4)In a context where people don't have prior friendships to gravitate to, so ideally an expat area or a place with lots of influx from elsewhere so that people leave their previous friendships behind.

5) Ideally once reached the goal it has to be given back or there should be some sort of mechanism to reset the process.

So yeah...politics and sports pretty much. Starting from local all the way up to the pros, but the benefits do start at the local level, and if you cannot play then coach, and if you cannot coach then own or otherwise be the elected President of the team, and if you cannot do that patronize, but find a way to get into that locker room, where the uniqueness is represented by the scarcity of the trophy that you are all chasing as a group.

This is the non-drug version, the drug version is easy, everybody you do certain drugs together becomes your best friend for a bunch of hours.

Some years ago I remember applying to a job at a well known US bank. It got to a series of checklist questions, one of which asked if I had a degree, I checked no, and it kicked me out before I could even finish the application.

Honestly, I wish more applications were like that. Just let me know sooner rather than later what your filters are.
