Fix your shitty attitude.

Try to see opportunities in what is in front and around you, and not as blockers.

You are privileged to attend that university - endulge your professor one time and rather ask him afterwards for possible different methods going forward.

I guarantee you most professors and academics don't go out of their way to be "difficult" but rather want to streamline their processes, for whatever reason.

You are 22 and you are still pretty green - keep that in mind and be humble.
Combine 400g flour (bread flour is better but AP works) with 300g of tap water, 4g of salt, a 2g of yeast (I use instant but I don't think it matters). Mix until a shaggy mass forms. Cover and let it rest overnight (no more than 12 hours). The next morning, preheat a Dutch oven at 450F for 60 minutes. While the oven heats up, stretch and fold the dough a few times, let it rest 15 minutes, shape into a boule, let it rest (I use a banaton) for 45 minutes. Score, bake in the Dutch over with the lid on for 30 min. Remove the lid and bake another 20 min until the color of your choice. Careful the Dutch over is rip-roaring hot.

What I like about this is it takes 5 minutes to make the dough the night before and then 2 hours after I wake up I can have fresh hot bread with just about 10 minutes of active time (fold dough, rest, make boule, rest, put in oven, wait, remove lid, wait, done).
I use 1-3 layers of Kapton tape to dim blue LEDs. Interestingly it turns the painfully monochromatic blue light into a more pleasant teal color with two or more layers, probably by blocking out the blue peak more than the longer wavelengths.
The business model was to license the browser to corporations. And they would have done pretty well except Microsoft gave away the browser for free.

The model of licensing software was pretty typical for the time. I disagree that they didn’t have a sustainable business model. Sure, IE4 was better and Netscape didn’t respond very well, but by 1997 it’s market share and revenues were already significantly eroded.
Hash Game
I wrote a blog post about it[0], but basically, I use the TMDB API to get all shows and episodes, which is free and has a generous rate limit.

For the episode descriptions, I grab the plot summaries from IMDB and Wikipedia, with just HTML scraping, no APIs, and feed them to an LLM to get the 3 main plot points, so you don't have to read a bunch of rambling text when trying to quickly assess the episode you're looking at.

Obligatory hn comment on any math-related topic: "notation bad"

Please be more original.
Hmm, that is an interesting idea. I bet someone could write an app that rephrased incoming messages through an LLM to match some metric you chose. You'd definitely need the ability to read the original message and there's about a million and a half ways out could go wrong but it's interesting nonetheless. Just evaporate toxicity from all communications before they even reach your brain.
You're looking for SDF fonts.

Very simple at their core but you can incrementally do more work to increase the fidelity you get out of them.
To me, the ticket id is extra info and goes at the end of the message body, not in the title at all.

I've seen far too many people think that putting the ticket id into the commit message can be a replacement for writing a good commit message. I've even seen people think that "Fix #123" is all they need to put in there.

The commit history should be the primary source of truth for what changes have happened.

I've also been at orgs where they've switched from one ticket tracking software to another, and haven't maintained history, or even when they do, the ticket ids and up changing afterward.
I think we are rounding another curve where the blue will start to fade away and white will be the new color
Very different. Tauri directly embeds/links to the web view runtime, and calls the APIs directly to setup the window.
WebUI finds a browser installed or already running, and launches it to a localhost server hosting custom content.
I often wonder that when I use certain products. “How can this obviously terrible design choice not be reflected in reviews?”
Wait until corporate drops jira, or migrates prem to cloud or vice versa with data loss, or revokes your access to an old project id the app was run on.

Git commit info needs to live in git. Ticketing systems will always die. The source remains.
I got a "Donate" full page blocker popup in my first second of ever visiting this website- really turned me off, why would I donate to a website I barely got a glimpse of ? Immediately hit the back button...
There's a brand on Amazon called LIGHT DIMS that sells differently sized stickers, in both ultra-dim and full-blackout forms, which do _exactly_ what they say on the tin, and it's amazing.

I used the ultra-dim for the (white) temp display on my Dyson fan in my bedroom, and the blackout for the brighter-than-the-sun blue LED on my charger brick. Also used the dim one on a smoke detector because my 5-year-old thought it was watching her or something.

They're absolutely great, and you can even keep a couple in your suitcase and fix horrible lights in hotel rooms or AirBNBs if you're so inclined.
By this logic there shouldn’t be regulation on anything, because the bad guys will have it any way.

While you can’t make it go away, you can disincentivize propagation and use which can be the difference between thousands of cases of scams/extortions and millions. Until there’s a stronger argument for voice cloning models (talking to a dead loved one is creepy and not a positive argument) then we shouldn’t encourage tools with overwhelmingly nefarious utility.
Not sure if you can post AMZN links here, but it's this product and its cousin the blackout version:

>People were actually diving out of their seats during the debut of Lumiere's "The Arrival of a Train." It was real enough to them...

Actually, they probably weren't. This story appears to be an urban legend, and there's no evidence that it ever actually happened[0].

Unfortunately what happens in many places, and may potentially be happening in your place, is that you are expected to learn by rote and learn what's required to pass the exam, but not necessarily learn and gain knowledge if you see what I mean.

So since you're stuck there for the moment, you could choose to just go along with what's expected of you and leave the first chance you get.

Intolerable is a strong word and if the examples you've given are your biggest issues, then you don't actually have it that bad. It's not necessarily intolerable, it's infuriating or annoying, but it is manageable. Understand that this won't be the first time in life you encounter this kind of a scenario will occur at many more times in your life. It won't magically stop when you leave to greener pastures.
I hate electrical tape. It becomes sticky after some time, when it starts to smear because it got moved or stopped sticking to the surface.

I bought a set of nail polish and use the black one to paint over the LEDs, it even allows you to control how much you want to cover it, in case you still want to have a bit of light to see if it's on or off.

Other colors can be used to mark pins on breakout boards or cables. It's really useful to have around.
There's a great HN thread I saved a few years ago that delves into this topic:

Was there a civilization on Earth before humans? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16837120

The top comment by peatmoss:

> This is one of my all-time favorite “what if” questions. Some years ago a friend of mine coily posed this same question to me: What does humankind make that would survive 60 million years into the future, and if some other advanced industrial civilization had existed 60 million years ago, how would we know?
It turns out my friend had put a LOT of thought into this exact question. Enough to do a masters in geology, his work ultimately making it into a high profile journal with writeups in places like the NY Times.
He started talking to various geologists about what might survive as telltale markers of our civilization. Buildings or structures of any sort? Ha! Statues and monuments? Maybe we’d notice the odd deposit or two of minerals.
After going through a long list of candidates, he settled on carbon cenospheres. These are little balls of carbon almost exclusively made in internal combustion engines as the result of aerosolizing fossil fuels. Sixty million years ago, our love of the ICE will show up in the fossil record as a light dusting of cenospheres covering the earth—contemporaneous with massive numbers of species going extinct due to mankind’s other influence.
And as my friend was telling me his story, this is where my hair stood on end. Sixty million years ago we see a massive species extinction... and a light dusting of carbon cenospheres covering the globe.
But we also see unnatural levels of iridium at the same point. And, while it’s hypothetically possible some industrial civilization was mining iridium and blanketing the globe with it, it’s more probable that the iridium was delivered by an asteroid.
But how would you know? So my friend, as part of his research, went taking samples of his cenospheres from around the globe. What he found was interesting: namely, the further one gets from the Yucatan (where scientists had already validated there was an asteroid strike), the cenospheres get smaller. The big heavy ones precipitated out of the air closest to the Yucatan asteroid strike. Hardly likely to be coincidence.
So much for ancient civilization this time around.
However, his work rewrote a critical understanding of the KT asteroid extinction event. Namely, we previously thought most of the carbon at the KT boundary was the result of giant forest fires ignited by the strike. However we now know that the strike must have aerosolized massive oil fields under the Yucatan at that time and set them ablaze.
Not a bad contribution to science starting from a sci-fi premise!
Twitter and Reddit showed in 2023 that there's a size you can reach after which you can ramp up the enshittification past the point once thought possible and only a small number will leave. Amazon has sucked for a long time but it has runway to keep going, it will take a generation or longer for something as big as Amazon to "end."
I think there would still be more than enough learning materials created to learn anything you can imagine.

Education is proven to be one of the thing that impacts your life most positively if available.

Yet we gate education behind money and privilege and let publishers hold the public hostage for profit.

Why? Is it worth it in your opinion?
It sounds like you have a product manager mindset.
The decision to not supply H.264 is ideological for sure, and I can understand that from the patent perspective, but then they have MP3 (patent-expired in 2017) but not MPEG-2/H.262 (patent-expired in 2018).

Also note that VP8/VP9 is still patented, but just licensed freely. IMHO that's less free than patent-expired (public domain).
This tends to become useless after a few years because of tool or software migrations, changes in JIRA/whatever structure, ticket retention policies etc.
I'm disagreeing to both points. That's not an acceptable commit message at all. I don't need to know you were working on drivers, that's obvious from the files you were working on. The minimum for a commit message should be the why, not the what
> Why would we see a 80/20 distribution...?

You're mis-quoting. Here's the quote:

> Organizational researchers have shown, similar to the 80/20 rule, the majority of your company's output comes from a minority of "superstar" performers: What's known as a power-law distribution.

The cutoff is arbitrary, e.g. one of the cited studies uses a 5/95 cutoff. [0]

Maybe companies shouldn't own copyright to a million different IPs then? If you don't care enough about it to manually review it then you shouldn't get to take it down.
Just don’t. There’s no real use case where people need to perceive this graph. It’s embarrassing to see the dreadful redesign of the C2 wiki shown here - the original wiki, no less! - which basically made it unusable. Hypertext is one of the most successful UI paradigms of all time, don’t overthink it.
I've found that making tomato sauces from raw ingredients is a really simple and much better than most store bought which, as you say, usually have a lot of sugar added.
This is a replacement for electron/tauri, and should be able to use much less RAM
the "budget" you mentioned can also encompass the costs to run, or configure, the tool which may be implied in what you meant by "budget" but in my experience is worth highlighting even if one isn't subject to Datadog-billing-nonsense

plus there's also the differing licensing terms <https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/v10.2.3/LICENSE>, often differing even within projects themselves <https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/v7.5.16/LICENSE>
Especially for a 15 foot cable. I'd expect a cable >10x the thickness with <1/10th the resistance.
That falls under the "feeling superior" bucket. And like others have said it doesn't explain bias towards certain people.
It’s a given that people on HN know how the internet works.

It’s also (usually) a given on HN to not post unsubstantiated and pretty controversial claims with no additional interesting or intellectually stimulating context for people for people to discuss, then accuse people of being a “CCP account” when someone points this out.

Edit: and posting a gigantic list of sources as a “gotcha” doesn’t count as additional interesting context, or even words of your own.

Try rephrasing your points in a way that is clearly meant to incite an argument and wouldn’t be best read as if you are shouting.
My city debated re-designing the main road in our neighborhood to carry less traffic, but instead opted to lower the speed limit and install speed cameras. Makes sense from their point of view: one costs money, the other brings in a reliable stream of revenue. Unfortunately people keep getting hit in the crosswalks, mostly by drivers from other neighborhoods who don't know about the cameras and see the wide streets (not unreasonably) as an invitation to drive fast.
I didn’t say no one released rendering engines (note Firefox is Netscape reborn). But these products didn’t do any fundamental additions to HTML, HTTP, or ancillary web and internet technologies. They provided alternatives to IE.
Reminds me of taking the intro graduate class in solid state w/ Neal Ashcroft and then being the grader for Chris Henley’s advanced course for the first time which is a lot like being a student except you have to solve all the problems correctly.

An awful lot of calculations in condensed matter physics are a matter of figuring out how electrons and phonons are packed in the Brillouin zone.
The Mandela Effect
I will admit, I've often searched for $project_name github to get to their repositories. It shouldn't matter but it's just a force of habit now.

That said I do feel some joy when I see a project on Gitlab and am happy to contribute there, eg FDroid.
Learning materials are under lock and key and people need education.
We desperately need more and better scientists yet publishing houses hold them hostage.

Hundreds of thousands of lives are being wasted working on the legal systems in place to protect a few huge companies profits.

And that is just from the top of my head.
Interesting! I'll have to give this a try and see what effect it has on my social media usage. My new years resolution is to use it only 30 minutes a day at max
This is going to be a comment comparing two insanely hot topic political issues, so it'll be a downvote magnet, but oh well.

I see kind of an analogous situation with gun control. Seemingly every single year a new restriction/fee/ban/permit/etc is passed, under the guise of "saving the children" or a similar feel good excuse that's given at the time. But the question for me is, how do you differentiate between 1) people that are passing such laws truly in attempt to "save the children", and 2) people that are passing the laws because they ultimately just want to get rid of guns, little by little, and are using "save the children" as an excuse to slowly move forward in that direction.

Similarly with cars over the last decade, how do you differentiate between people who 1) truly care about safety/climate and are passing these laws for those reasons, and 2) people who just want to get rid of cars, and so are doing what they can to make driving as difficult, expensive, and miserable as possible year over year, using "save the pedestrians", "save the climate" as an excuse.
Something similar: I recently bought a white noise machine for sleeping (a short term fix for noise at night). It has a bright blue LED that also lights up the whole room at night. You're literally for sleeping and you're going to illuminate the whole room with blue light?!

One of the Amazon reviews did mention this. But I always see stupid bright LEDs that people haven't covered with tape so there are probably people sleeping with these on at night.
His explanation about why subtitles don't match dubbing is not convincing. Basically he says that subtitling and dubbing are done by different teams with different goals. The dubbing crew tries to match lip movement. OK, so why not use the script that the dubbing team produced for the subtitles? Why do the translation twice?

His explanation for that: (a) sometimes what's spoken is too long to fit as subtitles on the screen, (b) what's spoken needs to be summarized, like multiple people shouting over one another on a reality show, otherwise the subtitles would be a confusing jumble of words, and (c) jokes/slang/puns can be difficult to translate.

I that agree (a) and (b) are legitimate reasons why subtitles might occasionally not match dubbing, but (c) is irrelevant. Jokes/slang/puns might be difficult or impossible to translate, but whatever way it ends up being translated can be spoken and written identically. In fact his goose joke is spoken and written in Portuguese as Eu estou gansado deles in the same way (timecode 3:57). I.e., the dubbing matches the subtitles. So the examples he gives do not support what he did in his own video.

Furthermore, his video (like almost all videos and TV shows) is chock full of cases where the subtitles and dubbing are different for no plausible reason related to (a), (b), or (c) above:

All examples below are when the video is set to Brazilian Portuguese audio and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles.

Time: 0:22
Dubbing: E o motivo disso é que as legendas e a dublagem ...
Subtitles: Isso acontece porque as legendas e a dublagem ...

Time: 0:51
D: as legendas e a dublagem são praticamente idênticas
S: as legendas e a dublagem são quase idênticas

Time: 1:08
D: é sincronizar o movimento dos lábios o mais próximo possível
S: é sincronizar os lábios o mais próximo possível

Although I agree that reasons (a) and (b) above might be valid on rare occasions, I think the real reason that subtitles don't match dubbing is because they are done by different teams with no coordination, with different timelines and deadlines, and probably by completely different companies in different countries.

If you cared strongly about this issue, I don't see any reason why the subtitles and dubbing couldn't be 99% or 99.9% identical in any particular target language. The 1% or 0.1% case being when the dialog is much too long for the screen or when you have to summarize a bunch of people talking simultaneously.
It is true that for it to work you need to have enough discipline to not get distracted by the other books, sticking to one title until you finish it or at least extract the optimal value out of it.
> For a problem that is theoretically binary (either in, or out?) filling polys can have really fiddly corner (literally!) cases.

FTR, in case someone is interested: "predicate" is the name for functions that output booleans, so a more general search term is "geometric predicate".
Out of curiosity, what/how many legitimate use cases have you considered?
The crux of the issue is missing on this entire conversation. The role of women, or perceived womanly roles, as this post shows, needs to take into consideration the plight of women during those times. Women's suffrage and the result of which we see in our current times is probably more an influence on the entire chain of thought here, in regards to the incredible advancement we see in gender roles we see now. The range and effectiveness of these vehicles, so desperately described as 'consistently improving with technology', misses the point entirely.

So despite the current state of modern transportation/ technological advancement, we can now all see what apparently matters most to a (now) seemingly useless generation of educated 'opinionated specialists' pitifully beholden to their investors or large banks (this means you Tesla!), the reality of actual utility (such as farm use or manufacturing) can be seen on a grander scale, eg. A mass grid of indentured servants working a non-optimized routine for decades (might have overestimated their capabilities in that sense) vs customized electric tools (think handheld farming, perhaps each attached with it's own horn - not necessarily loud or aggressive but like those you see on clown cars), would they have eventually revolted against the machines/electric tools taking their place? Like the farm equipment of the past, obviously not the current capable tech we have to read about daily (for lack of better offerings), those indentured workers would likely be seen as no different to said farm equipment of the past.

Their only outlet to vent their frustrations at their inabilty to escape their milieu wouldnt amount to much more than dainty gossip, or to take a term from reddit 'circle jerks' (probably with not much to jerk about), but perpetually useless against effecting any actual change to their plight, espousing their views as best they could. So at least some technical know-how would give them a voice!

Workers rights have advanced leagues upon leagues in the past century.

We can only learn from the past and apply those competitive (capitalistic!) tendencies and methodology to building better tech and actively avoid the same pitifalls.
They're not seasons? Seasons have breaks between each one.
Perhaps there’s no need for a db? If you have basic web logs, some volunteer can find out how many times a book was downloaded etc, and use that to do a one-off “best of 2023” etc? A kind of SE Wrapped thingy?
I did a basic C demo where I compared this to Tauri/webview:

I'm not planning to make any apps in HTML/CSS, but if I had to, WebUI would be my choice.
He definitely could, but I imagine his immediate goal is to manage expectations, and making sure no one is disappointed.

Leaving it as he did, he's open to do anything he wants: upload monthly, upload in indeterminate times, never uploading again, etc. And no one will feel let down or deceived.

If he said he'll start doing monthly, but then finds that he much prefers not doing the primary Tom Scott stuff at all, many people looking forward to those monthly videos will be let down.

If there's one thing that I feel comfortable saying about Tom Scott (as a casual viewer, at least), is that he likes doing right by people. I doubt anyone, including he, knows what to expect will be next, and the best thing he can do for his audience is to set an expectation that there ought to be no expectations. Let any surprises be surprises for the better, and let him have the peace of mind that he can do what he wants without feeling external pressure to deliver.
