economics have been largely unpredictable since the industrial revolution. i have no idea what the situation will look like in 1-3 generations when the largest gen dies off, declining birth rate, etc

it does suck for a large number of young people who have no hopes of ever owning a home close to jobs. Right now if I'm searching for homes in my urban region (the whole region), the graph of prices shows a mode at 1-1.25MM. Even current rates notwithstanding, this is a bafflingly high price for a region of 5 million people, statistically 90-95% of have no hope of affording prices that high without some external wealth (e.g. parents).
I have a DCP-J725DW for around 12 or more years. I used non-official ink cartridges for it for most of its life. Quality of print declined a bit, but it was mostly, because we did not print as much in some years. Now we print more as my daughter like to have something printed once in a while.

It is old, but works with Android print service, although it takes a good while for it to connect to the printer. Brother's Print and Scan application works faster, although it's also not ideal. Printing from Linux is not very nice, but at least some old Cups drivers are available. I usually do not bother and print from Android.

The biggest surprise for me was printing from macOS. It shows me all the options I never new this printer had, the biggest thing being automatic two side printing. I would like to know how Mac's do it.

The scanning is ok on my device, although the paper feeder for automatic scanning doesn't work reliably which is a pity.
I've recently taken a trip into "Weird Fiction", which is scratching my itch for more variety in fantasy.

I'm also finding that just "getting old" means the more books I read, shows I've seen, etc, the more I find myself saying "oh I've seen this kind of thing before". True, non-dopamine-based novelty is harder and harder to come by.

I think they're separate problems, though I'm going to make a huge leap and say that I think the writing problem is actually in part a function of the dopamine problem. Writers are both influenced more by "short media", and required to cater for audiences who enjoy/are addicted to it, even if the product is long-form.
This is not growth mindset, FYI.

Growth mindset is the _personal_ belief that _your own_ abilities are not fixed and can grow. It provides psychological benefit when faced with difficult problems and improves grit. It is not the classic HN over-optimized self. It says nothing about _requiring_ growth.

But for this conversation, the point is made well enough, I just hoped we could avoid a viral pushback against a perfectly reasonable thing.
Funny thing is, once the original toner is due for replacement I'm going to replace it with an original one. My fear with DRMed cartridge is not that I can't use aftermarket one, it's me buying original that might not work reliably due to complexity of the DRM.
Let's be charitable. Taking 5 hour strolls with an infant every day isn't usual.

The author is clearly not in a good place. Ours firstborn was really difficult too, the lack of good sleep and free time can really wear you down.
> Cars racing at 200kmh+ just 30cm or so from you is not fun anywhere.

Funny that this only happens to people who are advocating for a speed limit. Maybe you should stick to the center of your lane which should be at least 2.50m on the Autobahn. With an average car with a width of 1.80m (VW Golf for example), there should be even 35cm space to the left side of your lane.
Now I get where you are coming from, that is a good take. I think amongst developers/techies it was an issue though, I remember the convos around that.
There are lots of ways OpenCV complements Tensorflow, pytorch, and other high level frameworks. They don't need do all those things themselves, because they assume you have OpenCV around for stuff like image io, preprocessing, manipulation, transformation, color space conversions, edge detection, filtering, segmentation, morphological transformations, feature detection, video io, real time video capture, camera calibration, 3d reconstruction, optical flow, object tracking, qr code detection, gui creation, etc.

I think the comment you're replying to was trying to point out that growth mindset should not be forever.

At some point, obsessive focus on growth has to lead way to something more sustainable.
Choosing the right web development vendor is crucial for several reasons, as the vendor you select can significantly impact the success of your project and the overall performance of your business online.

Even following digital marketing to promote your product or services cannot be imagined without a great web appearance. And it's not just about the "picture" but functionality, trustworthiness, and experience that starts from software development.

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital innovation, businesses seek the expertise of top-notch web development agencies and talented web developers to carve a compelling online presence.

A harmonious blend of technical prowess and creative insight defines these web development agencies, offering services that transcend mere coding.
Seriously: at least if you buy a good machine, all this stuff should be and usually is covered in the manual. It tells you how to avoid mold (do a machine clean every month, for instance, there's even a dedicated button for this), if and when you should maybe rinse the dishes before putting them into the machine (usually not, because the machine does a pre-rinse and has a sensor to detect the degree of dirt in the water, but stuff like egg yolk you should rather rinse because once it is dried, it's just hard to get off), and so on. Same for laundry: a good manual will actually describe what each program does, and in what way you can modify it.

Yes, back in the day the machine would simply heat the water >60 degrees celcius and just heat the machine to oblivion to dry the dishes. Yes, that kills mold, but it's also stupid. At least here on HN, I would think that people would agree that doing things smarter is a good thing. Yes, it involves a little bit more work on your side, but at least here in Germany, where I pay 35ct per kWh, it actually saves real money.

So I stand by it: don't cheap out on these machines, and RTFM.
Because with the Russian subs just off the cost of Gotland things might get complicated.

Also, Finland is already complaining that Russia is weaponising immigrants, so much so that they've closed 7 out of 8 border posts they have with Russia (if I got the numbers right), and seeing how the problem of immigrants is a very delicate one for Sweden (and for many other Western countries generally speaking) the Swedish people holding the monopoly of violence might think twice when it comes to this trade unions issue.
AWS free tier EC2 handles 20K+ WebSocket connections for real-time feature flags
I use the ISF Expert color mode on my LG TV that's my monitor -- it really reduces the blue glare (and I found it was pretty much perfectly calibrated to the M1 MBP 14" as well)

And I turn down the brightness at night, helps a lot.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like the electrical version of "water hammer" in pipes. The electrons have velocity. When you suddenly change the impedance of the medium, the extra electrons already on the medium that can no longer fit into the transition will bounce back.
I think they probably have the power to not cross a picket line, or even a full blown sympathy strike if they want. In this case, the union who wants Tesla to accept the sectoral contract is striking, so the postal union is refusing to cross the picket line by doing business with Tesla.
I grew up near Auschwitz and there's a completely unremarkable field not far from the site of the camp, surrounded by fields and forest, there's a small gravestone near one of the trees and it just reads "on this site, remains of approximately 100k people are buried, please be respectful". Local farmers finding "bits" of human remains is a very common thing in the area unfortunately.

Just wanted to add to the point that the history is all around us, it's not neatly cordoned off and put in museums.
yes,please :)
Your Dewalt drill has a UL verification for having things like fuses and other design features which mean it won’t unexpectedly catch fire, too. That’s more what we’re talking about here: less “can a talented person make naughty art in photoshop?” than “if I integrate this into my educational tool or game, will I make the morning news because someone figured out how to get it to porn-roll the class or emit instructions for killing yourself?” or “will I regret allowing this site in my school’s firewall?”

These aren’t elaborate scenarios but rather the kind of things which happen constantly, and have affected product design for generations. Companies are hoping that this class of tool might be enough better to avoid those limitations, which is why this kind of research is important.
May the slack be with you !
It is also financed by my money. Driving faster or slower should be the responsability of drivers according to their needs.

There were votes on this topic, your opinion is a minority which by large portion does not even drive cars at all.
I can recommend Sony TVs for this usage. They run very vanilla Android TV, won’t gripe at you about not being connected to the internet, and accept firmware updates via thumb drive. The newer ones also have a “simple TV” mode that pares back the TV’s “smarts”.

They’re not cheap, but that’s to be expected if they’re not heavily subsidized by ads and content analytics like many smart TVs are these days.
Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer data
Aside from not needing connectivity, the main thing I think, you can ask it anything that ChatGPT wouldn’t answer (eg, politics, health topics, etc).
The suit isn't even targeting Postnord, but targeting the Swedish Transport Agency instead. So Tesla's lawyers aren't even trying.

If the Transport Agency is directed to get the plates to Tesla in some other way, whatever party then needs to follow up on that (unionized Transport Agency personnel?) may also decide to strike, so it's questionable if this strategy is a good one.

Well, I mean, it's obviously a bad strategy to antagonize organized labor in a country with rule of law that observes its international obligations under ILO conventions, but, you know, given the circumstances.
Surely network access is often lost during disasters?
Sure, for ransomware recovery, it might be good, but not any random disaster.
A cheap Google Chromebook offers essentially the same hypothetical advantages but with much less dependency on the network, and with much less ongoing cost. I have no vested interest in this, I use Ubuntu and a Mac myself, but I get the appeal of wanting to have a locked down thin client. I'm not quite sure a device that depends on good internet, all the time is such a good idea, seeing how often there are often outages for networks and popular central services. Slack, GitHub, OpenAI, Cloudflare etc. If the device had some open API it could be used with, so it's not a brick in the event of wanting to switch services, it might be more interesting.
It is fine to be contend with having kids. It is pretentious to claim that everyone without kids hasn't achieved supreme humanhood. Both sides cant really know how the alternative would have felt like. If you have kids, you cant magically unhave kids and see how your life would have developed. And if you have no kids, you can't magically swipe through your alternative timeline either. So what is the point of claiming superiority over the other sides position?
Wonderful! I would like to see an indication for "no data collected."

Looking for a game just yesterday, was shocked to see it declared to collect FINANCIAL data, plus location and identifying info. WTF? How and why should any app even have access to financial data? Nope.

Chess.com Insights are similar to what my project is doing. However, Lichess has nothing similar. They do have something called "Chess Insights" but it's not really comparable IMHO.

That said, there are also some unique features like "Openings" which allows you to quickly identify your best/worst openings.
Sounds like an extremely optimistic timeline for this suit to have gone through the Swedish administrative court, the Swedish administrative court of appeal, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court, the EU legal system and have the EU legal system impose a penalty payment in 400 days.

If Tesla has to do this, I'm guessing their cars are not going to have license plates for quite some time.
Let our autobahn be.

That "study" does not even measure the costs of having more cars on the road for a longer time (congestion increases and increased accidents).

France has a speed limit and yet the car crashes there are more frequent, same for levels of pollution since they use older cars. Go fix France first, please.
The factory says they can't do this.

> According to the Transport Agency, current regulations mean it is only able to distribute number plates using Postnord.
One of the impediments in migrating to another software are different UIs. Let's forget for a second that Chrome and Firefox have a really, really similar UI for the sake of this example.

Let's also discard that UI is changed for the sake of itself. It has changed to benefit the software somehow. How to get around the need for someone to redesign the UI and the expectation of a user to have a same routine workflow every day?

Standardize more keyboard shortcuts. Standardize important browser settings under a tree, with prescribed OIDs and such. Start supporting keyboard workflows for all the actions in the software.

Keyboard is the most stable interface there is. Everyone looking to advance in his domain needs to start using the keyboard. Even if you're in construction, engineering, architecture, visual design, you'll find out your software suite has extensive shortcuts and macros or scripting that can boost your productivity N-fold.
> If the state is taken over by a tyrannical dictator and the military themselves are complicit (don't attempt a coup/rebel against it) then someone owning a handgun is going to be scant resistance.

It's work keeping in mind that the amendment was written when the military and civilians had the same "hardware": muskets and cannons. In those times, protecting against a tyrannical government was entirely feasible with a large enough group. In fact, that's exactly what the USA did ~350 years ago. Granted, they had help from places like France, but they still did it.
"Simple Solitaire Collection" is the best solitaire app that I found on F-Droid. Great selection of games.
The article is very light on actual details.

Out of curiosity, I did a bit of digging. There's not much to find but here it is:

- this Norwegian company is known for its Naval Strike Missile (NSM). This missile is supposed to be a supersonic version of the NSM.
- NSM [1] is a quite recent anti-ship missile, first deployed in 2012. It does not look like it was ever used in action, but it pleased a lot of its operators, so that the US Navy decided to mount it on all its Littoral Combat Ships [2], and the Royal Navy decided to use it to replace its "aging" Harpoon missiles [3]
- the current gold standard for anti-ship missiles is the Harpoon missile. The NSM is about half the size of a Harpoon (both in total mass and warhead), but has a longer range, and more importantly various sources claim it is very stealthy. That appears to be its main advantage
- so I guess the new missile will try to build on this: to continue to be stealthy, but to also be supersonic. If they deliver, it could be a game changer.

Or maybe store hot water and heat it up at the best time...?
Yes. It's a different kind of computer vision. Not the kind where you just throw an expensive NN at stuff and hope for the best, but one where we're actually dealing with operations at the pixel level (corner / edge features, image warping, stitching, calibration etc). No neural nets, just very fast operations on the actual image data.

It's useful either as a preprocessing step that you feed into further NN processing or -- super old school -- you are modeling your problem by hand instead of letting a NN figure it out (for better or worse).
> Namely that understanding the EU governing structure is very impenetrable to a great number of people, much more so than their national government.

You can say a lot about the EU that needs fixing but their documentation is excellent. What it needs is for the national governments to get better at communicating how and when they interact with the EU and what the practical effects are. The bigger problem is that anti-EU forces within the EU (usually: populists) do their level best to take every problem in their own societies and spin it in such a way that the EU looks like the culprit. Which makes people believe that if the EU were to go away that everything will be unicorns and rainbows.

> Then you also have people from smaller coubtried who are quite concerned about centralization tendencies in the EU.

Yes, that's one of those peculiar cases: they somehow believe that as smaller countries in a much larger world that they would be able to do better than as a bloc. This makes no sense at all and despite many examples to the contrary quite a few people believe this. But common sense unfortunately isn't all that common and as Brexit proves beyond a doubt going it alone isn't better, it is far worse.

To the tune of a trillion per decade for the UK, money that they badly needed. That there is no serious investigation of how the UK public was swindled surprises me, but then again, it probably shouldn't, after all, those that would be in charge of such an investigation all ended up making out like bandits and they certainly aren't going to risk killing their golden goose even if it dumps the rest of the population of the UK into poverty.
I think this $150k is just for building that interoperability.

At today's salaries, that pays for, what, 1 month of some ML engineers time to integrate all the big ML frameworks into OpenCV?

Doubt you could do any decent job of it in a month...
He’s ridiculously pompous. ‘And yet here I was, master coach, author, podcaster etc’ - yet my mastery does not extend to affording a nanny, which would trivially solve this problem.

i'm living with two other families in a house (separate apartments). it lifts the hyper dependency of children on their parents and creates more room to attend to needs for both adults and children. it also makes it possible to stack many things, like grocery shopping or cooking (one person cooking for 12 people does not require three times as much time as cooking for four people). plus, there's usually always other adults at the house that you can hang out with plus many other kids for your kids to play with, so less stress with playdates etc.
would you say flying airplanes faster or slower should also be responsibility of the pilots? what about speed boats within the city, should they be allowed? why on earth moving tonnes of metal at high speeds should not be regulated? considering 1,5 million people die per year from moving this metal boxes at hgh speed (comparable to the amount of people who died from pandemic that stopped the world for a year btw).
The Wayland developers are the X11 developers. The reason there's no more development on X11 is because everyone got fed up and left for Wayland.

Parents leaving their partner and their child behind isn't unheard of. Even women sometimes do so. Sometimes, children end up at the grandparents, and the woman tries to start over. Your claim seems to come from an idealized world.

Check the article on which you're commenting to find, in fact, more than "one" reason :)

Not saying the pros weigh against the cons, for anyone or for everyone, just that claiming there is not one reason is patently false in light of the submitted article which this thread is about. One could say, in response to your edited-in last sentence, that pretending there's no reason for it is a rhetorical trick!
It sounds like she had a cushy job and now needs to look for a regular one. The interviews seem to all be like you mentioned. The job expectations or tasks you listed are all just normal expectations for a dev these days. Companies are increasingly forcing additonal roles and scope into a single position to save headcount.

I feel similarly. I have over 10 years in as a dev and the expectations or scope has drastically increased in that time at my company (been the same level for about 9 years now). I also specialized in dead-end tech (Neoxam and FileNet) so I'm not great at a lot of things. I narrowly avoided being sent over to a sourcing company just by lucky timing on switching teams. I have no motivation to find another job due to the shitty interview processes, my lack of expertise in relevant tech, my stressful home situation, and the fact that other companies pretty much all do the same bullshit.

I figure this is just life and I get to deal with it until I die (increasingly skeptical of retirement being a thing).
The thing is though, it’s not blind fate - we all know where babies come from…
Incredibly helpful, thanks for the reply. These tips will make their way into my requests immediately.
Yes - not sure how this has been overlooked. For Python/torch I tend to use cv2 with an albumentations augmentation pipeline, which is much faster than PIL/torch transforms.
You don't need to deal with license plates when you buy a used car? If the car is registered for road traffic, it'll have a set of plates with it.
