TBF, I honestly think that X11 is also pretty bad about a lot of this stuff, but accessibility engines are able to hack around the problems. The underlying issue here is that in general, whether it's X11/Wayland/whatever, on Linux we don't treat accessibility issues like high priority items to fix and we don't treat accessibility interfaces as first-class citizens in the DE.

To the extent that we allow programmable interfaces outside of the terminal, we put those interfaces on top of the graphics stack rather than underneath it and we treat them like alternative control schemes, not common interfaces that every input device should be hooking into and sharing regardless of whether they're for some "disabled" category or not. Disability is a spectrum, having separate categories for "normal" interfaces and accessible interfaces doesn't capture that.

These problems are kind of universal, but X11 just happened to be so wildly insecure and had such bad encapsulation that devs could work around that problem. Which... better than nothing, I guess, but our primary way of mitigating accessibility problems shouldn't be to make our software worse.

I'm still on X11; I haven't fully figured out tablet settings and I'm waiting for OpenTabletdriver to mature a bit more before taking a serious dive into Wayland. But does being on X11 mean that my desktop is accessible or that I can test software that I build with a common screenreader to make sure it works for disabled users? No, of course not, I use i3wm where as far as I can tell accessibility software like Orca can't hook into any of the programs that I run, even programs with explicit support for Orca.

I don't think the problem here is the technology, the technology just reveals a deeper apathy that has always been present. It won't be fixed until we change our relationship with differently abled users and start working with accessibility communities on shared protocols/interfaces rather than treating those interfaces like afterthoughts. A lot of the "debates" about accessibility requirements like controlling window position, etc... stem from that issue and probably have solutions that would work for everyone if we prioritized finding them and approaching the problems from different angles.
What stigma?

There are a great many companies and developers in the .NET orbit.

I agree there is still a certain bifurcation between the Microsoft and traditional FOSS worlds in terms of conferences etc. But I'm not sure either needs to convert the other.
> On the day it sank, the George L. Newman was transporting lumber from Little Suamico, Wisconsin. Smoke from the Great Peshtigo Fire was so thick that the crew members aboard the George L. Newman could not see where they were going. The ship ran aground near the southeast point of Green Island.

Note that the Great Peshtigo Fire, and two other massive fires on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan, occurred simultaneously with the Great Chicago Fire.
One sourcing was this interview with NYT publisher - https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/a...

From this part:

Are you saying that’s changed? That reporters are just sitting in rooms in front of a screen? I don’t think that’s the case.

Of course it’s the case! It’s the least talked-about and most insidious result of the collapse of the business model that historically supported quality journalism.
Solar and wind are on an exponential trajectory. Our usage isn't. That in itself is enough to make a pretty good prediction that they'll make an impact.

That said, there are absolutely going to be issues taking the entire grid to solar/wind (namely, storage!). There are potential options to solve those problems...so we'll get there. The question is just how long it'll take.

Open plan is great for juniors, but not so much for seniors with a ton of responsibilities already, and who now, the juniors look to for mentoring.
> Beginning in 1928, a small statue of the popular cartoon character Felix the Cat was featured in television test broadcast transmissions

So, cats have been dominating the airwaves from the beginning of broadcast video.

The article says the video was sent to earth at 267 Mbps.

As much as we are interested in watching interstellar feline adventures, I'd imagine future astronauts will be equally or more interested in watching videos of their favorite cats(or humans occasionally).

So, I'm curious to know the max speed at which we can transmit from earth to a spacecraft at similar distances.
We are all to "suck it up" because, for some reason, being constantly interrupted is something that we supposedly have to be okay with. I say no, let the busybodies and loudmouths adapt to us for a change.

Advertisers lost interest, so there's no resources to promote some random podcast. If you listen to something like "Coder Radio" from Jupiter Networks you will hear the hosts talk about there being a lack of ads and Leo Laportes TWIT network is expressing the same concerns. Both of those two podcast producers will survive, because their audience is willing to pay for the content, and because they have a few niche podcasts where advertisers are able to target a narrow group of people with the right messages.

Large podcast aggregators like Spotify have no real business model, they produce way to many shows with to fewer advertisers and subscribers to cover the cost and their audience isn't nearly as loyal those of TWIT.

Partly I believe that there's simply to many podcasts available, with to low content quality.
I would like to find a way of running the printer with as small log file as possible (first run after buying as an ideal).

Then I would inspect the file after as least of log data added as possible but bigger then zero. At least it is important whether the increase of the log file alters any previous-written info (if there is some alters then the cryptography might be more complicated).

If there is no altering of previous data the next step is to attempt to achieve identical log file increasing (identical patch to the file) via doing something identical (probably it is going to fail because log files typically have some date on every line).

Then there is time to inspect the actual hardware.
Ours love direct from tap,but assumes the fountain is going to kill them.
I tend to agree. Far too many "journalists" are publishing articles like "here's what one reddit user discovered about xyz".
In the past I've participated in weekly pair coding sessions or group coding sessions, say 2-4 hours on a Friday afternoon. That was with an open source project. The meetings included both maintainers and newer contributors.

Maybe look around for an active open source project you'd like to contribute to, and ask around its community and propose a regular pair/group coding session?

Edit: Crucially, we all took turns "driving", even during a single meeting. Sometimes someone wanted help on a branch, and they started driving and then someone else "took the wheel" for a few minutes then passed it back.

I found our interactions were similar to session-style sports, like skateboarding or bouldering. We all attempted a challenge together and could see how each other approached the problem. As in sports, sometimes even knowing something is possible is all you need.
OK? I mean the article itself says the majority of flight time is not used for responding to high profile crime, according the PD's own self evaluation. So what are we getting out of this?
Expanded legal protections and improvements to our API
I don't think I will convince you, but that is training as well.

Yes, in the beginning, it feels terrible, because you hit the glass too hard, but after some time you adjust your tapping and hit the screen with the minimal force necessary to register a touch.

Yea, it will probably never feel as comfortable as your thinkpad, but once you get the hang of it, it isn't the difference between "wonderful" and "sucking".
There's a good documentary called "The Secret Life of Chaos" that has a fairly cool overview of this concept.

Though it's just the beginning of a very deep rabbit hole, possibly unending.

> Nowadays things just get worse with each release, when it comes to user-interfaces and desktop apps.

This is spot on and it makes me sad. We have hardware and programming languages available to us that people could only dream of 30 years ago and so much of the software we produce with it is objectively worse. I don't think Wayland (or X) is really salvageable at this point.
$3k/hr to catch a kidnapper is not excessive. $3k/hr to go to a chili cook off is excessive.

Police in the US act as if they are royalty. Above the law when the break it, sacrosanct when their budgets are questioned. The one thing I've notice is when they're not around, annoying behavior increases (littering, traffic, etc) but society seems to keep humming along and it doesn't collapse. I'll take the annoyances over their cost and bad behavior any day.
Since there is no question, I guess the OP wants to find some inspiration? Anyway here goes:

- gaming. Since I was a child, I've been gaming. I don't consider it as a "productive" hobby, but it's one nevertheless. It's almost an addiction, so I try to not have all my free time filled by that.

- wrenching on cars. That's my current main hobby. I've bought my first car (I didn't own one before) specifically to have one I could go as far as I'd want without the responsibility of breaking someone else's car. Though I do minor repairs/maintenance for friends and family. On my own car, the most complicated/time-consuming jobs I did so far was a suspension overhaul (including rebuilding struts towers with new shocks) and changing the gearbox.

- track days. It's an aspiring hobby. I can't currently own a track car (parking spots are too expensive where I live), so instead I do the next best thing: paying for "track experiences" and doing a few laps on track-ready cars. I've done 2 so far, planning a 3rd, and really want to own a track car at some point.

The other hobbies are past hobbies I've wound down because I'm not that interested in that anymore:

- cocktail mixing. I have a full-size bar at my home (that could be put regular bars to shame) so I can mix anything I want. I used to be more socially active and try new cocktails every week but now I only do one every few months, generally from my list.

- bartending. I used to do bartending in a non-profit bar for a few hours each week.

- electronics. A friend got me into it, I dabbled with Arduinos, Raspberry Pi and have lots of parts that got gifted by that friend. Nowadays, I use those skills for appliances repairs and car repairs.

- woodworking. This was very short, as I do not enjoy it that much, just don't have lots of needs nor the space to do that, but a lot of my furniture is home-made, out of pallets I found on the streets (I got help from a more experienced friend luckily). That includes the aforementioned bar and sizeable wood chests to store the electronics and miscellaneous tools.
But it's iterating through the result vectors twice, so that's basically guaranteed to miss. Moving the threshold check into the loop above would at least eliminate that factor.

Maybe division vs bit shifting does play a factor, but it's hard to compare that while the cache behavior is so different.
I don't know why they'd inevitably have to switch to Wayland. However, you never know what the future may bring. If BSD ceases to be a refuge, then I'll investigate other options at that time. For now, though, it seems OK.

> they would probably diverge from GNOME and KDE by doing so

Which would be something I could live with. I dislike Gnome quite a lot so don't care about that. I do use KDE, but it's nothing that would hurt too much to do without if necessary.
This company ended up becoming something that the real Nikola Tesla would have absoluteley hated. Irony.
They are very faint and difficult to detect. They weren't even observed directly when they were discovered. They were originally discovered when astronomers noticed that they occulted light of background stats.
That's what you get when you don't write the tests first.
Is it outdated? How do the results compare?
I'm confused... What's causing your despair? Do you think we'll never be able to visit Uranus in human-compatible travel times? Assuming we (organic humans) survive this century, I'd consider it almost certain we'll find a way to make travel within the solar system a normal thing eventually.
music (guitar / electronic), reading (scifi), walking in nature / traveling, programming, anthropology/history, gaming. gotta keep my mind busy. most are on and off. nothing serious, seriousness is for work :).
I'm basically the same way these days, but Queen's Gambit is a miniseries and really really good. Good value for the time.
I haven't read Malazan but I've heard it's very hard to get into. I've seen trying to read the first book being likened to being dropped in a remote Chinese village with no manual or linguistic ability in Mandarin.

For your group to not only successfully complete the 1st book, but to also proceed till the 3rd book must have been a challenging feat.
Barrel plugs are not better technically, but it would be better to use them with random voltages because people don't assume that they conform to a standard. With barrel plugs, the customer expectation is that every device has its own charger, and that's that. With USB, the assumption is that they are all compatible.
There's a circle of hell for anyone who uses story points as a productivity measure and not a work-in-progress limit internal to the team.
> What are LLM Parameters?
LLM Parameters are settings that you can adjust to control how the LLM generates texts. They can affect the quality, diversity, and creativity of the generated texts. Some of the common LLM parameters are temperature, number of tokens, top-p, presence penalty, and frequency penalty.

In this post, I will explain what these parameters are and how to use them effectively. I will also show you some examples of texts that can be generated by LLMs with different parameter values.

That's odd, because in a lot of contexts (hospitals, EMS, etc.), red outlets are used to denote outlets that are connected to battery/UPS, i.e. critical loads, versus the regular, which can be 'sacrificed' in an outage.
Too much interruption is bad, I agree, but there are some type of skills / mindset that are 100x times simpler to gain by contact with colleagues than by training on your own (even when looking at forums). Especially on the things that you wouldn't not think about improving.

I had the luck of working with a dude who was extremely good at analyzing data, simply by loading json files in sublime text, doing a mix of pretty-printing, multi-cursors changes (with usually 1000+ cursors), regex-foo, playing with buffers and other linux commands. It was a weird set of skills that was truly magic to behold, and not amount of Youtube conference or code review could have replaced that.

There are some coding livestream that can help with that, but it's not as efficient as being in the room as talented peoples.
Like another commenter suggested, money. These professions are generally rather high paying and come with quite a bit of prestige. "Lawyer" is listed up there with doctor with the stereotypical aspirational jobs.

Russians destroyed house of Wasm3 maintainer, the project on minimal maintenance
The issue comes when cells take many minutes or even hours to run (intentionally or not). The ideal is indeed sequential, and this helps me a lot with maintaining the sequential ordering as it simplifies and speeds up the “restart and run all” process.
Yeah I agree. I'm probably going to do it differently as I hated that experience and TBH it doesn't benefit my study as he so wished.

I found the biggest problem of his approach is that he didn't care about figuring out my interest (TBF I didn't know either). The extra-curriculum study is mostly aimed for getting into a better school later so he first taught me Math in advance and then some extra for competitions. And even for programming he extremely hates gaming (to this day he thinks game developers are bad people, like people who do narcotics) and ONLY wants me to do competitive programming. Anyway I did not have any interest for anything he taught so it has been a painful drag for both of us until he kinda gave up when I reached grade 10.

Now that my kid is 3.25, I want to try something different. But I do find myself lacking the time or knowledge to prepare material for such activities. I want to expose him to a variety of activities after he reaches 4, say arithmetic and simple reading (so he can then spend more time reading books by himself), but I do not know how to approach teaching the topics. He is as impatient as a child can be and of course he is not interested in learning stuffs, which is definitely less interesting than, say, watching tanks crashing cars.

All in all, I know nothing about pediatrics education and need to know more before damaging our relationship as my father did back in the day. Neither do I have the mental energy reserve to burn candles to research on such topics. But I'll try.
> The goal in a way is better reproducibility. The memo hashes the contents of the inputs, so if your cell is deterministic (and you cover all the inputs), the memo should give you the right answers.

That's an enormously large if, and without any way to detect or manage when that's not the case, it's hard to see how this could aid reproducibility. This adds a new failure mode for reproducibility where an important side-effect is not rerun, altering the results.
And so the can of worms opens again!

No. Not everyone wants or needs a private office with a door. It doesn't always make us more productive. It is not always better to work from home. Open plan offices are not always bad. Most of my day is not spent working on something so complicated or advanced that interuption will screw me over. I am spending most of my day building block towers because I can split most of my work into small pieces.

On the other hand, if distraction is a problem, as someone else said, it isn't the open plan office which is at fault. It is planning your time; setting DnD when you are actually doing something difficult; it is making sure that people don't randomnly call your best engineers on the phone whenever they have problem but they instead use chat or email as an async method instead.
Definitely agreed that it's not a perfect solution, just that it's better than blindly using `any`. Using type assertions to get around it defeats the point, though, and it is frustrating when people do that.
There was an algorithm that does what you want, based on some Terence Tao work iirc, around the time / based on his L1/L2 norm result...?

One of the examples was reconstructing an Obama picture from basic shapes.

Struggling to find it again, wisdom of the HN crowd help me out here?
This press release isn't even about Amazon itself. That price fixing case only incidentally involves Amazon because the products were sold on the market place, Amazon was not a party to the price fixing.

Did you read it?
That Hideous Strength is a good book, but it's just bizarre compared to the previous two books in the trilogy (and admittedly Perelandra gets pretty bizarre in the final 20% or so of the book). But my favorite lesson is from Perelandra: Sometimes you can't beat the devil in a battle of wits, sometimes you just gotta beat him to death.
I recently started to learn a new programming language and was thinking that CoPilot etc would help me in that regard. I was surprised to find the opposite: whenever I would pause to think about a solution, AI would be polluting my editor with suggestions and completely interrupt my train of thought. ChatGPT has been very handy for random questions about the language, but in-editor suggestions completely ruin any attempt on my part to learn. While I have been very pleased with in-editor-AI for tidying up my code and providing some logical completions, this was the first time that it clicked that AI is really only effective if you already know what you’re doing.
It might have just received the hug of death. Otherwise, this is fantastic; I've been looking for something like this.
Show HN: PullTheCode, NextJS blueprint with all you need to build a Micro SaaS
Tell me if you can relate: you start a new pet project in Typescript, you remember you wrote some module in a previous project that you could reuse, you check that project but man if it's dusty now. You run `npm i` to check if it still works but npm returns 69420 security errors, plus (you think) maybe in this new project you can try some new approach.

You begin from scratch, all the time.

At least, I do.

And don't get me wrong, I love starting new projects, but do I ever release them? meh...

So, I thought, what if I build a reliable boilerplate with multiple integrations that I can reuse any time and that would allow me to release new projects faster?

And a week later, PullTheCode was born.

At the current stage, which is comparable to an Alpha, there are already tons of integrations:
- Written in NextJS 14, fully in app router (can add back pages if you guys want them)
- UI Components
- Stripe Integration
- Optimized SEO helpers
- Integration with SQLite/Postgres with Prisma
- SSO with NextAuth (yes, I know you guys prefer Passport and I agree, I can extend it with Passport support if there is enough demand but NextAuth sped up development time notably for now)
- Basic Integration with Google Analytics and GTags (if people are interested, I would like to build more event handling as I feel it's something important that often goes unnoticed)
- Integration with Hotjar Pixel
- Ready to use Dashboard
- Ready to use Newsletter module
- Ready to use Blog Module with support for S3 storage
- Ready to use Integration with Sendgrid for email sending
- Service classes for streamlining connecting with other third parties like Firebase and OpenAI
- Upcoming internalization module
- Upcoming support for different languages in Blog
- More to come as I'm constantly pushing new stuff

All this for a meager €99 for the first 99 people that will help me bootstrapping the project. Pay once, use and receive updates for ever.

And yes, I know what some of you will be thinking: "why don't you Open Source it?" or "why should I pay for a closed source codebase?"

To address these points:
- I don't plan on opensource it because I want my role to be the full time maintainer and developer, meaning being able to keep the dependencies always updated and to continue delivering value for both existing and new users. Also I hate working in an office so I'm trying to build my way out, just being honest.
- It's not "ackhtually" closed source, as soon as you subscribe you get read access to the github repo and gain effectively full use of the code indefinitely. The value is not in cloning the repo once, but in having someone committed to keeping the project to the highest standard.

I would genuinely love to engage in discussions about this project and to hear your feedbacks, this is my first real launch as an indie dev and it's been a true rollercoaster, I will probably need to write about it in the upcoming future.

Meanwhile, what do you think?
