That is actually a really useful, affirming thought exercise that I've done before. Simply take a nice present-day experience and run it through the "20 year ago nostalgia filter". Where all the boring/frustrating crap that surrounds the experience is forgotten, and just the good thing remains surrounded by the golden halo of nostalgia. It makes me appreciate the present experience more and dulls the "oh, life was so much nicer 10/20 years ago" nostalgia thing (it wasn't, it just seems that way).
Good memories. Thank you zsKnight, wherever you are.

Is there any vnc version yet; I was going to make one for accessibility (people with heavy RSI or paralysed but able to speak/see) but couldn't figure out how. Related tot the Vimium gpt project today, I would like that for VNC which is impossible without vision because how are you going to 'point' at things by just explaining.
SnoozyStory: AI-Powered Bedtime Tales That Turn Kids into Heroes
Fellow hackers, check out SnoozyStory – my side project turned fix for the bedtime story conundrum. It's AI that spins up personalized hero tales for kids, peppered with a dash of learning. Saves time, boosts fun, and maybe outdoes Mum's story game (just maybe). Would love to get your take on it! Peek it here: [Link to Product Hunt or website]
The news also plays a big role in this. If (in a given city/area) crime happens every day, it’s just business as usual, so nobody bothers to report on it. However, if crime happens once a year, it’s headline news.

Maybe they were fully in support. Maybe they told the EU it was a terrible, stupid idea and were ignored.

The statement "subscriptions to AdGuard's paid service surged, as it's not affected by YouTube's crackdown" is false. AdGuard apps are also affected by YouTube's anti-adblocker measures. However, there are workarounds. You can avoid the anti-adblocker measures by setting your user agent to an old browser, such as Internet Explorer.
Ask HN: SaaS Solution for an Outsourced HR Consultancy?
I'm assisting a small HR consultancy in the UK, catering to around 60 clients with a 6-person team. We're in search of a robust SaaS platform to streamline our operations. While we've been using HubSpot for CRM and Xero for billing, we're exploring alternatives to better suit our needs.

Key Requirements:

- CRM: To manage client relationships effectively.
Billing Integration: Current use is Xero; seamless integration is a must.

- Marketing Tools: For campaigns and outreach.

- Ticketing System: For handling client queries and support.

- Process/Checklist Management: To streamline workflows.

- Client Portal: A secure space for tickets, documents, and an LMS.

We're looking for a solution ideally tailored for HR consultancies or similar professional services.

The aim is to have an integrated system rather than piecing together multiple tools. A solution like Suitedash seemed promising, especially price-wise, but fell short on its ticketing features.

Other Considerations:

- Scalability for business growth.
- User-friendly for a team with varied tech skills.
- Trial periods for hands-on evaluation.
- Strong support and active user communities.
- Budget is a consideration, and we're also keen on a platform that prioritizes data security and compliance with regulations like GDPR.

Has anyone here had success with such a platform or can point towards a solution that ticks these boxes?

Thank you in advance for any insights or advice you can provide.
That is a good point. Well, perhaps there would have to be tiers like you said, just like many other services that offer tiers (web hosting, etc).
I don't see how taking 5min to start playing a video saves you much on bandwidth? I see how you save by accepting somewhat longer start times, and more variance, but even with the delay you're still paying to transfer the same number of bytes.
The symbol of happy/sad drama masks (Thalia and Melpomene) is an ancient reference to this same dynamic.

Was prompted to look up the definition of the word "pathetic," recently, and it means evocativeness of emotion, but typically sympathy or pity instead of laughter. Being comical and pathetic seem like the same thing, we just don't understand the word well because it's an epithet in pop culture that nobody considers the meaning of. When you look at a lot of art or music as pathetic in that they are aimed to stir a kind of nostalgia or sorrow, it's the same underlying art that produces laughter and joy. It's like a spectrum of Handel to Chopin, where one evokes soaring joy and the other a sense of nostalgia and memory.

I'm very funny, but I also make very pathetic art as expressions of the same underlying capacity for pathos. In the essential meaning of the word comedy is a pathetic artform that refines out the neutralizing emotions and produces pure involuntary laughter. Whereas the well of personal experience the performer uses is going to have all the "sadness" (in the form of wistfulness, nostalgia, romance, etc.) as well. Someone who is funny or brilliant or entertaining operates using pathetic (evocative) means. This "sadness" of clowns is only a problem when we judge or criticize it.

Really, if you can just see your comedic sadness as a natural capacity for pathos, (and take the Zen view of not being your feelings) it's another source of creative energy.

Don't forget, the CPU needs to know the current PC for relative branch instructions too.

Relative branch instructions and calls are pretty common, so flushing the entite pipeline just to get the current PC would be way too expensive.

So pipelined CPUs actually implementate extra resources to track the current PC of every single instruction (at least as far as the execute stage) just so they can get the PC rapidly.

And you will find almost every single modern CPU has an instruction to copy the current PC to a register.
> A park is in public view.

Yes, I disagree.

Anecodtally, I see motorists driving whilst using their phone on a daily basis. I rarely see cycling jumping red lights. I also see motorists jumping red lights, but rarely. I frequently see motorists on the wrong side of the road trying to skip traffic queues.

Poor driving is much, much more reckless than poor cycling, given the kinetic energy involved.

If you're starting, you can hire some head hunters to do the job.
Then make mistakes by hiring bad people so can you learn what to watch out for when hiring talent in each positions.
You can ask what their ultimate goal is in their fields, ask them why they decided to leave their last job.

> pick a very select group of people, and give them money and access to a network of very wealthy people

> 11/900 is a pretty amazing success rate

But completely unscalable. It seems perfectly reasonable to think you can take a select group of people give them resources that allow them to succeed (at a certain level) better than people who went to college. You could probably get similar results by just giving a select group of people a million dollars to start with.

Or am I misunderstanding something about the situation.
In theory you are right, but why would the EC consult with Canadian, British and Australian government people? And what do you think they said? "No, you will ruin E2E"?

I switched to Cursor (VSCode fork) a couple of months ago. It does this already and I haven’t looked back since. Especially as the copilot extension (along with all my others) work out of the box.

It has full knowledge of your entire codebase rather than being limited to currently open files (I assume embeddings with RAG) and will index documentation (or any other URL).

I find it especially useful for things like Swift/SwiftUI APIs given how quickly they

The article you've linked doesn't support your interpretation:

> Earlier, the court saw video footage from the preacher's body-worn camera which showed Ms Munir approaching Mr McConnell as he spoke to a small crowd.

> She was seen to ask him: "Does God accept the LBGT community?"

> The video then showed the 42-year-old as he responded to the crowd and referred to her as "this gentleman" and saying: "This is a man."

It appears this trans woman approach a preacher and at best asked a question and got an answer. Without context, I wonder if it were intentionally inflamatory.

Regardless, it hardly fits the bill of 'harassment'.
Reducing patch postings to Linux-kernel
Well good for you, would you like a pat on the back? You completely missed the main points I'm making, that the very body of content you enjoy was started and created by users themselves and at one point with much of it being in violation of copyright rules with YT fully benefiting from that, only to now get morally righteous about ad blockers being used to block a deliberately, grossly enshittified viewing experience.

Even content creators themselves barely benefit from these ads, because an incredible percentage of them are constantly demonetized for endless arbitrary algorithmic reasons.
> Those of you defending youtube on this, have you actually tried watching anything on the site without ad blockers?

That's how I normally watch YouTube. It's fine? The ads are mostly skippable after a few seconds.

If I was more into YouTube I'd probably pay to remove ads, but I probably average 15min a day.

> How do you verify someone's age anonymously

No anonymity on social media sites. Not saying that's desirable - but it's the logical conclusion. You can run your own site anonymously.

> It’s strange because wind is supposedly overwhelmingly cheaper and better

There's two kinds of wind power: onshore and offshore. Their costs are different, with onshore being cheaper. The ones in Brazil are all onshore, while the one in the article you linked to is offshore. In the USA, offshore is even more complicated because of the Jones Act (it needs specialized ships to transport and erect the structures, while onshore needs only common cranes).
> they're lending out $100 to a couple people

no they're not, they're loaning out 100$ total. they never have loaned out more than they had on their books, it's not possible
That is noble they did that and shows that they still have that element in them. I do not support Trump, and it shows objectivity to defend someone like him when his rights are infringed as they seem to be in that case.

Because he didn't want to be recorded in a natural setting. His public image was very well managed.

* In the early years of his leadership of the NSDAP there were no pictures of him because he didn't let people take pictures of him.

* He never married (until the end) because he thought he would appeal more to women if he was a bachelor and would enhanced the idea that he was fully dedicated to Germany.

* There are pictures of him practicing his dramatic expressions. His photographer was supposed to destroy them, but he disobeyed and kept the photos. That is, he wasn't spontaneous, he practiced his poses a lot.

* He would exercise his right arm. Apparently holding your arm up is quite exhausting and he wanted to give strong and long salutes at marches.

(BTW, the reason he had a toothbrush mustache (even though many advised him to shave it because it provided cannon fodder for caricaturists) is because he thought his nose was big and a mustache distracted from it.)
It’s not a “very SLIGHT improvement” as you write. It’s VERY SIGNIFICANT. Even the Nikon Z9 has roughly 4ms rolling shutter speed. Light travels faster than you imply here. A lot faster.

Point taken, but depending on the game it could be a better way to relax than e.g. browsing social media. I'm actually curious what people think a legitimate, cheap way to relax on a weekend or while sick is, if not gaming.
Well, it would load the video more slowly, thereby causing people to watch fewer videos. Their selections would be more thoughtful and more focused rather than frenetic and shallow.

Nobody but you is suggesting we protect the rights of pedophiles. This argument is going where it always goes ... as the author pointed out. There are bad people in the world. They make up a small percentage of the population. You don't change society as a whole based on the behavior of these bad people. You do what is reasonable and within your ability. Did you even read article? By your logic would you allow the Catholic church to exist? They were literally protecting pedophiles for years.
yes exactly. whereas the person above was arguing that they can just lend out money that wasn't deposited, which is pure fiction
>I question this. There is signalling value in a degree, but it's more about providing HR and the hiring manager with reputation cover in case the candidate is a failure. "They were from $SCHOOL, it couldn't have been predicted."

I've been part of the hiring process at multiple companies over the course of a decade now, both at large companies and small ones, and not once has anything like this ever happened. A degree in the field has only ever been used as a filter at the start of the process, and in the small number of times there was a bad hire, no one ever used the candidates degree as an excuse because there was no need to: no one blamed anyone for the fact that a shitty employee was hired.

Your comment made me think... Perhaps it would actually lead to good. If tech people all knew to avoid the 'for-profits' who can be manipulated by a hostile government, we'd all move to something that isn't company run, and drag everyone who relies on us for support along kicking and screaming.

Maybe this is just the kick we need?

1. list all the people you know in each of these sorts of roles

Modern Intel processors have a "stack engine" (similar to the return stack buffer) that speeds up access through RSP.
