And PNGs for rounded corners. I can't remember what the term was when you took two images overlayed to make a rounded button that was resizable. Sliding door buttons?

And transparent gifs to set a width without being seen.
Honestly, I am excited for people to re-implement the API for this using open models because of this. Maybe let the API stabilize a little, and i'm sure some implementations will pop-up.

Learning a language only starts with knowing the formal spec. Then you have to learn how to express yourself efficiently and in mechanical sympathy with the language. That takes time. Worse yet, a significant portion of developers can't do it without a lot of help.

I’d think exactly the contrary: science majors would approach a history of science course expecting a history of discoveries leading from the Days o’ Ignorance to the Present, the Frontier of Knowledge. Or at the very least they’ll expect the course to be an internal history: history as told by scientists, not historians. But any history of science class that’s history is likely to be looking at questions of interest to historians, which are squishy, interpretive and don’t automatically privilege the Present state of knowledge as inevitable because it’s correct and science finds correct answers.
What a load of BS.
Thanks. You said what I feel better than I could.
Are you sure? My experience of using TFVC was that it would warn you if someone else had opened the file for editing but would not actually lock it. Multiple people could edit the same file concurrently with standard automerging/conflict resolution afterwards.
Funny to see Onyx be mentioned in the wild! :D
Whoa! In my undergraduate computer science program at a top US public university, each course was graded to a curve that determined the number of grades in each range. If memory serves, 27% of the class received A or A-. I knew grade inflation at private schools was real, but am still surprised to see 70% of Yale kids getting As in CS. At that point, they might as well just assign pass / fail grades.

AI fatigue: Inside growing tension at AWS
20 years old. Not an iPad kid. It might just be shitposting in the end but I watched around a half hour of it a few weeks ago and I found the sci-fi war story interesting, the occasional moments of "humanity" touching, the action impressive, and yes, the toilet humor funny. All the more impressive with effectively no dialog.

I guess what a lot of people don't understand is that if we want to keep a livable climate (within our carbon budget), basically every car anyone buys from here on out has to be electric. It's that urgent. If we started decarbonizing many years ago we wouldn't need such a breakneck speed, but alas.

Realistically based on current car prices and people's budgets and lack of charging infrastructure it's not happening as fast as needed. But it is still happening fast which is excellent! I hope it keeps accelerating!
I feel for the kid, but to be realistic it doesn't take several people all year to grow 140 lbs of something.

What I find annoying is the still-existing problem that sometimes apps don't load properly and you have to refresh the browser. You don't get this with desktop apps. There are some caching capabilities in browsers but they are not being used by anyone to cache app code and resources. If I'm using an app for the first time it should properly load all code and resources or else report an error.
Read-only access for coarse-grained pages (as opposed to building a fine-grained ad-hoc DB) seems something reasonable (and easy) to cache for any kind of frontend.

That would allow offline viewing to a variety of apps, regardless of approach.

Last time I checked Google Docs doesn't primarily allow editing offline files, which hints how hard it is to support substantial features beyond mere reading.

Back in the early days of TFS I was briefly at a company that went all in on MS tools. TFS was used and to avoid the lock each developer had a clone made and after checking their clone in the “TFS Guy” in the office would merge it. He also had to merge things when later checking had conflicting changes.

Now, the best part of this shit show was they had ~30 different customers and each of these customers had a clone of the main thing that would be customized. So the “TFS Guy” had to determine if to keep in the customer clone only or to propagate to the main and then to all the other clones!

Needless to say the “TFS Guy” made a lot of money.

Saying "X is bad because Y" is not a "panic". You can disagree with that, but that doesn't make it a "panic".

And it is different because everyone understands what a movie or football game is and there is no faux-personal connection or pretence of one, whereas these types of things are much more murky, never mind the outright fraud of "you're talking to someone other than you think".

This was all proposed when DARPA first looked into Network Centric Warfare. It was rejected, which was a mistake.

When defending against small drones, the scaled down equivalent of a combat air patrol (CAP) would work.

That CAP can be extended over enemy positions as well, like air superiority with scaled-down aircraft.

I can imagine one side having air dominance in the large & manned air domain, while the other side has air dominance in the small & unmanned air domain.

These small jets are also a great way to keep track of enemy activity. Having a payload on it makes sense for the same reason it makes sense for a forward observer to also be a sniper.
Nice app - but for future reference it is very much not obvious to any native English speaker. "You should check out X" sounds like a random recommendation.
SEEKING WORK | The Netherlands | Remote (anywhere)

I have more than 7 years of experience with Python/Django and worked with many tools/technologies/libraries related to it (Vue/Vuex, pytest, various CI/CD tools, docker, htmx, websockets etc). I love to dive into odd bugs and optimizing slow queries/functions. I am a big fan of testing and documenting.

I maintain a few applications for clients (as the sole developer), but can also work well within a team.

This is missing a possible explanation: Anyone who’s not getting an “A” in Gender Studies drops it.

I don’t know if this is true generally but it was the only class I personally ever dropped in college because the workload was too high. Huge final paper with a lot of required references. I didn’t need it to graduate so it wasn’t worth finishing.
I use Magnet for that. But could probably put those key combinations into my hammerspoon config.
In my experience a lot of older professors are like this, likely because it wasn't yet about counting papers for them to get their tenures (other games were involved for sure).

I agree they should have refused. I hope I would in their situation.
AA must be stationary. Even if you can move it you cannot. If your country is at war we know small drones can cheaply reach pretty far in. That means you need AA covering every place anywhere near the front. If you move the AA you risk enemy spies finding out what place is not covered and attacking there. Maybe you can move from my backyard to my neighbor's backyard, but that is about all you can realistically do.
Against adversaries whose industrial base and social structures are 200 years behind us. That gives us weapon systems that are adapted to fighting adversaries whose industrial base and social structures are 200 years behind us.

We've been very lucky (in a sense) that ambitious leaders who actually can get technologically-savvy workers to follow them generally prefer to work within the American system and fight over ad clicks, purchases, and management fees rather than physically making war. I'm not all that confident that the U.S. military would win vs. say SpaceX, Amazon, or Google. Moot point as long as it's more profitable to sell things than take things, but we would be very screwed if we fought an adversary with peer-level technology, population, and manufacturing base.
ATUS is a great suggestion!
Precisely. In the SQLSync model - every user would have a private database just for their data. For example, this is how the todo list demo works: https://sqlsync-todo.pages.dev

(Note: currently SQLSync's server tier doesn't support auth, just random 128bit ids. Auth will come as it matures - but don't use this for anything super secure at the moment).
As others have stated, Local AI (completely offline after model/weight download) is the way to go. If I have the hardware why shouldn't I be able to run all these fancy software on my own machine?

Yes. I was thinking more, chimney sweeping and factory work.

My point was we were poor then and had different standards. They probably have those same standards as we had for the same reasons. We have different standards now, so it's on us to do something if we want to.
'Walk on water' or return to the office, Broadcom CEO says amid layoffs
Can something be deceptive when it is still clear enough that no human is actually confused?

It has deceptive potential if someone has no knowledge beyond the literal words, and assumes that there are no other restrictions, which I don't think is the appropriate reference. Anyone actually involved with unlimited vacation is provided the full context on operation.

A policy name not being self contained and fully self explanatory does not constitute deception.

I think it is reasonably descriptive. There is no policy limit to the number of vacation days. It is discretionary. I think it is a bad deal for most, but don't think anyone is being tricked
It's a property of the model itself.

The war of attrition involves bleeding out the empire with cost differentials. The MIC needs to provide more value for its weapons or the imperial outposts will become cost & geopolitically prohibitive.

The US has lost much stature among the global south. As the so called "adversaries" understand how to effectively drain imperial status & resources. The exceptionalism position does not help in light of regularly bombing civilians & making the world a more dangerous place by flooding weapons into conflicts.

Tbh guessing is part of the way to solve a bug. You need to make a hypothesis and the test if it is true. If not try another.

Saying the zfs/btrfs teams have no idea means the person has no idea about software development process ... It is a system none fully knows a system that complex.

I still wish I could jailbreak them so I could purge their egregious telemetry. Collecting VR telemetry in particular, details that can be gleaned and inferred about your physical body and physical activity, really creeps me out.

It's the only reason I haven't bought into VR again yet (I was on the train with the original HTC Vive for a couple years but that headset has aged).

I've played the quest and I'm very impressed with it hardware and experience wise. I'm still waiting for a comparable option that has:
- open source / jailbreak capability for full device control
- stream higher spec games from PC
- the ergonomics, ease of use, and portability of the quest headset
- reasonably priced

Once that headset arrives, I will probably get sucked back into VR

I guess if mechanics were not people, private equity would buy them all.
Furthermore, one advantage of this solution over using memcpy is that the compiler can still understand what it does (and aggressively optimize it) in a freestanding environment.
So it turns out that the enslaved Oompa-Loompas in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory were just truth in advertising. There's quite a bit of irony to that particular controversy.

You know the difference between XBox and iPhones? One is a dedicated gaming platform plugged into a big TV. The other is a personal communication device with a small screen.

Ah yes. "Just" support a different interacton model. Nevermind the plethore of issues with that and the differences between big and small screens.

Phillip from PowerSync here, always good to see more people working on problems in this space.

A few things to clarify:

>one multi-tenant centralized db to bidirectionally sync

PowerSync supports syncing from multiple databases.

>The downside is complexity.

I'd say this is true if you're building a partial replication system yourself. PowerSync gives you a ready-built system that's been proven at scale and therefore lets you avoid most of that complexity.

>SQLSync, on the other hand, is full db sync.

It's just as easy to sync the full db with PowerSync as do partial sync.

Ask HN: Archive.today Alternatives?

Is there any similar alternative that doesn't have these issues? I've been using the internet archive wayback machine, but its not as good at getting around paywalls compared to archive.today.
For my own I did the same, but without capture groups. So replaced "one" with "one1one" naively without regex and did that for all numbers.

While it maybe is post-hoc clever, I think most of us ended up there because we tried naively to just replace "one" with "1", which broke on things like twone. So when down that path one had to amend it instead of going somewhere else.
