It seems magnanimity of MS that they are just asking to explain. Else they could force user to submit sound mental health certificate. After all who in right mind close OneDrive. Right?
It's going to be nasty when people figure out which cars implement this badly and start turning off their engines in the middle of freeways. Even nastier when it starts being used to prevent people from gathering in groups or driving away from protests/etc.
Providing close reason is ridiculous. Don't think this would be technical guys at work, rather some marketing or someone who wants some stats.

But nudging in direction/reminding of backups at appropriate times - I actually applaud it. Let people think about it for a while.
While no board schematic there is quite good selection of guides hosted iFixit (Valve links you there from their website so it is the "official" source)

Show HN: Chat between Discord and your website with React
I hacked this together because I wanted a way to embed a chat widget on my website and respond from my Discord server without having to sign up for anything or use a new product (e.g. Intercom, etc)

I might set up a simple dashboard to manage the configuration of the chat, or add some AI features (lol), but for now it's just a fairly unopinionated React library that should hopefully Just Work™ once you install the Discord bot.

It was somewhat inspired by shadcn [0], because I like the idea of providing a kind of "headless chat component" that's very easy to customize. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, it's very simple for now, but wanted to share!

I generally preheat my cast iron until drops of water instantly sizzle away or for searing dance around the pan . I pretty much only use extra virgin olive oil (low heat cooking) or avacado oil (high heat cooking, like searing a steak) in a well seasoned cast iron pan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect
Thanks everyone. I'm going to be taking a short break.
This is how I would like it to be only because I can't trust it to treat my information well. If it was a trustworthy system, this would be an incredible capability.
considering the content of that @$#%@$ rag, it was a worthy name.
That's because these options are designed by someone in sales/marketing and not by anyone who cares about the user's experience. Including any option that implies that OneDrive is not perfect might "damage the brand".
We're talking about the guy who missed the boat on the Internet and had to rewrite part of his book and change the direction of the company when it was obvious that MS couldn't just ignore it.
Doesn't the projection require one hand to be up and in a flat position, and the other hand interacts with it? Meaning it requires two hands?

Apple's implementations are for 1 hand operation. You can operate the watch's touch screen while holding a steering wheel for example.

What's the difference between the objectively not great screen that is my hand, and the oled watch that doesn't require both my hands for operation?

EDIT Heck this requires one hand just to see anything. I can look at my watch without any hands!
I find this part inspiring, regarding how to "respect the opportunity":

Practically, what this means is to first do the work that is given to
you. But once that's under control, to reach out into the vast Google
network, to learn what's being planned and invented, to coalesce a
clear image of the future, to give it shape through docs and demos, to
find the leaders whose goals align with this image, and to sell the
idea as persistently as you can.
Any time I see a "unified API" where multiple interfaces are abstracted to a single interface, my first concern is the lowest common denominator problem.

What I mean by that is your unified API can only support features that all of the APIs it is abstracting also support. Otherwise the users of that API will make calls and not know if they will work because it will depend on the backend.

The classic example of this was when people tried to create unified APIs for AWS, GCE, and Azure. They had to only support features all three had, otherwise the API would break if you used the wrong cloud provider, in which case it was easier to just interface directly with said cloud provider.

Which is a lot of words to say, how will you support multiple APIs with different feature sets without breaking your API?

This is the one I tried to use, but failed to, since one of its dependencies required a rustc version newer than what I have here (1.63.0), and cargo was not able to pick the latest compatible version, but suggested that I do that manually instead. Which surprised me as well, since I keep hearing about it being nice, yet resolving dependencies is something other package managers (and Cabal in particular) tend to do. I tried to find what is the last version of that package supporting my compiler version, failed to do it quickly (how is one supposed to go around such a task, by the way?), and gave up.
Out of curiosity, what chips do you see get blown out typically?

And are there any specific usage patterns that lead to more of these issues?
AI and crypto are very synergistic. As AI makes deepfakes easier and cheaper, an immutable ledger with cryptographic signatures at every step becomes a more and more valuable tool for attestations of identity and proof of history.
AI will never write software for the same reason professional chefs will never be replaced by robots. Sure, certain parts of our jobs (the fast food equivalent work) will be assisted, and then replaced, with AI help. Ops is already benefitting from AI assistance with things like log correlation and managing incidents, and all of that is great! But the fact is that AI will still require the input of humans to solve problems, and specifying a problem completely enough that a machine can write the code for it is equivalent in effort to just writing the code yourself.

I see the introduction of AI to the SWE workforce as roughly equivalent to the introduction of digital kitchen scales, thermometers, etc. to professional kitchens. It's going to help us up our game, which is awesome! It's going to make a lot of the boring, mechanical stuff simpler so we can focus on the creative aspects of our jobs. But a burger flipping robot isn't replacing a michelin star chef anytime soon, and AI isn't replacing you anytime soon.

Show HN: Swizzle - build scalable full stack apps in the browser
I do think the net result of this wad bad.

I remember before this decision, I worked somewhere where people could take longer to be promoted as a temp, maybe even 2 years. I don't know that this was exploitive, it was usually a mix of developing competency and department having budget. If someone left the company, usually someone got immediately promoted out of being a temp. If not that, it was dependent on department budget increase in the next fiscal year.

The legal change meant some roles like QA were put on a company switching treadmill.
Potentially being the key word here. They don't seem to succeed when going from theory to reality so far.
Oof. Looks like a huge UX miss to me at best, and a worse version of Google Glass at worst.

Jezebel screeched about Jennifer Lawrence nude photos getting distributed while their parent site gleefully refused to take down Hulk Hogan's sex tape (because something something journalistic integrity? looool.)

And then there's the time Jezebel linked to a youtube video of a woman being raped, and then when the video wasn't taken down, they posted screenshots:

The list goes on and on of hypocritical bullshit, but there was also, I believe, an article insulting men for "dad bods". Ie, not being sculpted gods because between being the sole source of income for their family and being present at home for their wife and kids, they don't have the time or emotional/physical energy to work out, etc.

Hopefully the racebaiting shithole that is The Root follows.

Surprised to see all the negative sentiment here. Besides the true point that voice-only interaction is a bad idea for public spaces, I think this is a very cool device with lots of potential.

I'm especially excited about the fact that they found a really low-barrier user interface for using CV and AR-type functionality -- like, without having to put on silly glasses, and without having to use a second device with a screen in addition to the pin.

Come on, this is cool! Or would you have designed (and built!) a better device?

This is a case with contractors in all big companies. You are not a company employee. The expectation is that your employer will compensate you and take you out to lunch, etc, etc.

There's no choice. They collect and serve whether you want it or not. Whether it's regulated or not. Whether it's banned or not.

I think I have ideas. I could imagine either somebody who's young and edgy and hasn't really made the connection to take reality seriously. I could imagine somebody who has built up enough animosity (due to involvement in the movement or personal bad experiences) to blow past and actively defy calls for civility; you see this play out in radical political discourse. Or, I suppose, a psychopath (which could also be formed by bad experiences).

Institutional investors would need to justify to their LPs why whatever they will end up earning beats buying and holding Treasuries instead. The higher rates Treasuries have the tougher it is to make that justification.
If you appreciate wearing a lot of hats and roving around to create real value, it might be worthwhile to look into going independant!

I'm ex faang and have managed to carve out a comfortable independant consultancy where I can kind of join needful organizations as a roving 'fix-it-up' engineer at large, answering to the directors who (hopefully) only care about things working better.

It's gratifying to swoop in and fix real problems for teams, and also get a view on cross team efficiency opportunities that most siloed org-structures don't have good visibility or agency to tackle.

Yes, as far as I can understand the man and by extension his estate are liable for the damage to the machine and the disruption of the assembly line. The first of many preliminary injunctions against the family should be making their way through the court system about now.
A real shame, though it was a shell of its former self by the end. Like everything under the Gawker umbrella, it was a Frankenstein of gossipy bullshit, legit good journalism, edgelord humor, and a devoted comment section of fanatical weirdos. If the comments section here is any indication, they succeeded at taking the "I don't care who I offend" energy of the internet and redirected it against a set of targets who are not used to being the butt of the joke. Sometimes they crossed a line, but not more than any given Twitter user, and with a lot more wit. I could maybe make the argument that what went wrong is that social media gave every fan of that kind of humor a platform to spew it on. You can blame Jezebel, but I blame social media algorithms, because the comments sections themselves tended to be far better moderated than, say, Twitter.

It's worth reading one of the founders reflect on the site and what it meant to people (women specifically). https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/jezebel-...
I use these too and recommend them. They connect to phone and laptop simultaneously which is handy. And they have a busy indicator on the headset which I've waited years for. Rotating the microphone boom up mutes them which is also useful. Not noise cancelling microphone though so probably not suitable for noisy environments.
You could do all sorts of technological enforcement of traffic laws.

You could have cars not permit going above the speed limit on highways for more than X minutes [to facilitate overtaking]. You could dynamically lower the speed limit during inclement weather. You could lower the speed limit when approaching an emergency vehicle by the side of the road. I'm not sure we have accurate enough position info to somehow force people out of the passing lane after a certain amount of time.

Hell, you don't even have to make it outright impossible to drive a car fast -- add a manual override switch, that removes the governor while logging your location and speed with the appropriate authorities. Audit after the fact to distinguish between "automatic speed limits were incorrect", "someone in the car was bleeding out on the way to the hospital" and "I wanted to go real fast".
A bit more clarity: right now, and for the rest of this decade just rolling out a lot more renewables will be the cheapest way to replace carbon generating sources which are right now burning and spewing carbon into the atmosphere to generate electricity around the globe.

So, there is a long term need, in order to reach a goal of 100% carbon free electricity (generally set for about 2035) for more on-demand resources (including responsive demand), but it is not the most pressing concern right now. And even when it is, it'll account for a small fraction of the total, like 10% or so.

(Luckily, batteries are gettting rolled out already because they have positive economic value in various niches, like in cars, frequency response, avoiding congestion and network upgrades so the ramp up is looking good)

We use Merge for an app I built so I can elaborate.

Using your example, let's say I want to get the weather for Berlin today from NOAA, Foreca, and DarSky. I would have to do:

noaa.com/api?city=berlin

foreca.com/api?city=berlin

darksky.com/api?city=berlin

return each results and store them.

As opposed to sending the call once:

getweather.com/api?city=berlin

Now let's say I want to add a new source (Wunderground). I login to Merge/Nango and just check "Wunderground" and just change my API call to store the new source.

Now let's say Foreca changes it's API to foreca.com/v2/api?city=berlin I don't have to monitor this at all. Merge/Nango would do this for me.
It was beyond shocking to see the level of data collection by O365, especially outlook. Think about typing out an email, it might take you some time and you might make revisions along the way. O365 does regular differential backups to that draft and stores it in exchange. Doing an audit on a user account's email showed me just that. The name Windows is an apt name, anyone can just look through and see what's going on now a days.
The solution to this is to not use exceptions except for actual errors, unless it's going to be amortized away. For example, objects which have a heavy parameter, which gets memoized. With the zero-cost happy path, you only raise the exception once, when you're doing the costly thing, and subsequent accesses are free.
This is super interesting Feels like a lot of people just travel the US and work remote a bit with the expectation that they will just slip the cracks.

Thanks!
This program requires a short apprenticeship and the submission of a body of work to the bar in lieu of the exam. This sounds reasonable to me (though the 675 hours sounds low - I would have expected 1 year of experience or more).

Virginia is one of two(?) states that allow an apprenticeship ("reading the law") to replace law school. But the bar exam is still required. And the pass rate here is much lower than law school graduates.

You can bet that it will be much more difficult. Look at Google, how impossible it is to resolve anything with them and how successful they still are. This will be the new normal for everything.

Another take on this topic: It is reality right now, but only for poor people, so we can't see it. This will change, we will all suffer from automation.

Blue Collar Physical work will fall last. Basically anything that requires expert physical handling.

Doesn't really matter though. By the time a LLM can replace all programmers, all white collar work will be gone. That's a lot of workers.

Even if we have something competent enough to replace say half of programmers, still a lot of people.
It appears both clap 2 and clap 3 have packages in bookworm. Were you trying to use them from crates.io instead of apt? Clap is on version 4 there.

There is not great tooling for this, because most people use the latest stable when starting a new project, and then rust being backwards compatible means things Just Work into the future. A vanishingly small number of folks use builds significantly older than that, since upgrading is generally trivial, and newer compilers have faster build times and better error messages.

What I learned getting acquired by Google is that if your company is below a certain size, everyone will need to do a technical interview to be hired and leveled. They tell your management to lie to you, and tell you its just a meet and greet, with questions about projects you worked on, general background stuff etc. But its actually a full on surprise technical interview. (NOTE: This was true in the early-ish 2010s, not sure if it is still the case).

Imagine walking into a technical interview 20+ years out of grad school. Then again, I'm honestly not sure if being relaxed and able to sleep the night before helped more than spending a few weeks doing interview prep would have helped.
Hi Peter,

I'm a solo founder of software development company in USA. I've been doing everything on B1/B2 visa until goverment told me I spending too much time in USA and they cancelled my visa with recommendations to look for other options.

I tried to apply for E2 during covid and it took them almost 6 months to process my case but they declined it with a general reason that they don't see enough evidance to issue E2 for me at this moment but I can re-apply anytime if my situation change. (I applied by myself without any lawyer at all)

After consultations with different attorney I've been told that E2 is more for people who wants to invest but since I'm already established working business it might not be a good fit for me. And yeah they do recommend me to look on O1

1. Is it something interesting for you? Can I get paid consultation from you and maybe you'll help me?

2. Is it true that for existing established business with solo-founders E2 might be not a good fit?

Thank you in advance!

Despite the headline, the robot arm itself probably has no smarts and is just triggered to follow a routine when external sensors on the line are activated. The issue is that the person may have been unaware that the robot was energized, and there should have been some safety interlock that de-energized the robot while the person was in the robot’s work envelope.
A bar is not McDonald’s. Robot bartenders have existed for some time but people go to bars for the human connection not simply to consume alcohol. Even here, a human bartender could probably benefit from a robot doing the work of cleaning glassware and restocking ingredients for them.
