As an employer I totally get you. I don't think that most people get that your goal is to reduce the number of interviews by any filter necessary. You could limit by height and you would still get too many applicants.

Once you are not filtering for location, other filters are necessary. You can't interview 1000 people.

I totally get that from an employee perspective, skills and domain knowledge are valuable and transferable. They absolutely would be perfect for your position. Vue experience is arbitrarily irrelevant.

What they don't get us that you don't want to interview 1000 people to find the "best one". You want to interview 5, and pick the best of those.

The trick (for hopefuls) is being one of the 5. -thats- the problem they have to creatively solve. Relying on your CV is the -least possible way of standing out-.

So I say this to all you bright folks looking for work - show some creativity, do something different, make my hiring easy. You can be great? Cool - prove it. Because there are thousands in line with you, and a CV is the least you can do.
I heard this story (no one could spell Ptarmigan) from my Dad probably forty years ago when I went up to visit him after her had moved up to Alaska for several years. I think the longevity of the yarn comes from the joy Alaska natives have in telling it to visitors or new arrivals.

Also, new Alaskans are called Cheechakos — make it through a winter or two and you become a Sourdough.

And then, "Texas doesn't like being the 2nd biggest state. Keep complaining though and we'll cut Alaska in half and make Texas the 3rd biggest."
My 2015 Chevy Colorado has a backup camera, but the screen is not a touch screen. Base model (with optional heated seats) FTW :)
PSA to anyone who doesn’t know yet: you can lock the screen by clicking the Touch ID button (at least, in the newest no-touch bar Macs). It can be used to both lock and unlock.

I’m guessing your Touch Bar system can do this too but I have no way to try it. Sometimes Apple makes random little shortcut modifications when they change button layouts.

Control Command Q also locks the screen. I used to have that combo as a fast habit.

I jumped off the Touch Bar as soon as I could. I sorta miss the smooth volume and brightness adjustment but it’s not as good as having the keys be physical and always in the same place. No more looking down.

If they could make a row of physical keys with little OLED screens and maybe a couple of customizable knobs and/or sliders that could be assigned to anything that might be a really useful concept. But the need to look down at the Touch Bar really killed its magic for me.

The other thing you get on a modern Mac that’s arguably under-hyped is just the fact that the function keys are full size. It’s so much nicer.
It seems to be a cool project, any differences from Vivliostyle[0]? It looks like they have one thing in common: typesetting using HTML+CSS.

I've heard this argument many time and personally do not understand.

The ambient temperature is such a subjective thing, so many things affect it besides absolute temperature: wind, sunlight, humidity. And it changes so fast too. I don't think I even need the precision of Celsius, I don't get the necessity of twice the precision of Fahrenheit.

And sure, cmiller1, the reference points are arbitrary in Celsius, so are they in Fahrenheit. At least in Celsius the zero point could provide useful information: I know when it's slightly higher than 0˚C there would be mud, when lower — icy roads. (And it isn't really affected by the elevation — ~0.01˚C in the whole range of liveable pressures.) But that's, I believe, irrelevant: I have intuitive understanding of -17˚C or 37˚C without it being a round number, the same way you know what's 32˚F.
What is it about PDF that makes it more suitable than HTML for any of these uses? HTML created 20 years ago will still be rendered the same. HTML doesn't require chat widgets.

I'd be interested if you ever dig anything up for this. I hacked together a kind of crude tool to snapshot audio and translate / caption it on the fly:

I would very much like to improve on this but the live translation / captioning still has some more work to go in this space.

Given its a wasm app running client side completely from static assets, I'm not worried at all. Do you know of any risk in terms of attack vectors? I guess maybe someone could exploit the client by some other means and then take advantage of the export in some manner the could end up getting the client to download an "image" with embed script. That's also just conjecture I have no clue.
Imagine 40kWh batteries in homes for $5000 installed. It's not far off.

I made an app to manage GitHub stared repositories
In 2016 I made an app to manage my GitHub stars, because I have nearly 1k stared repos and I can hardly find the one I want. Sometimes I wanna to make some animations / UX improvement and I know there is a repo can exactly fit my need, but I can't remember it's name .
> And while many US companies have been pushing employees to return to the office

I still don't see the reason why you should go to office if you do your work just right.

There are more expenses if you go to office rather than being remote.
Isn't that why people are paid to work? Because it isn't interesting or meaningful?
I need to just stop being lazy and make an action to handle the bins.
You are so full of activism and the resulting hatered, it hurts to read. I hope you have something in your life that makes you feel cozy.
I'm leading a large project right now, and I'm shocked at how well tailwind is working such that everything is consistent. I even hired a personal intern to build "headwindcss" that converts existing websites into tailwindcss templates using the computed style.

A future project of mine is to build a mini-browser of sorts, and I'm going to use tailwind as the minimal basis for getting the CSS to work. so... I'm enjoying it... like a lot.
For those who see a perpetual take of 30% of your revenues (pre costs, pre taxes) as a reasonable ask: I cannot wait to see you on the other end of the pointy stick…

Imagine in a future not far away that car ownership has
been replaced by car subscription, and all remaining 6 car manufactures decide to tell you that since you ride their fabulous IP, you must now pay a 30% surcharge on gasoline you use. What happens when you have low income and cannot afford a car?

Then your ISPs, then your health services, then your grocery stores, etc…

I think the crowd at HN is very smart for some things, but incredibly self-centered and out of touch with the broader reality on many topics. Not everyone makes hundreds on thousands of dollars on Tech jobs, not all devs sell millions of copies, and neither you will make that for the rest of your life.

As I said somewhere on the page, Apple owes large part of what it is today to the dev environment (Things,Devonthink, etc) which created attractive products only available on Mac. IOS or MacOs without third party apps is pretty boring.

Apple now has divorced developers and screaming for their share of alimony every month.
That's kind of you. You can email me at lars dot doucet at gmail dot com
Off topic, but why is the demo video so much brighter than the surrounding background? The page has a white background, but the video is substantially brighter.
You make a point about something that keeps me away from older laptops: WiFi speed.

Sure, I could get a USB WiFi card but…ick.

I’m paying for symmetrical fiber, I want to use those speeds. When I’m uploading stuff to servers it really can slow me down to have slow WiFi. I could actually really use WiFi 7 to finally un-bottleneck my connection and I’m just waiting here semi-patiently for new client devices and cheaper access points to launch.
When I was looking into easy game development Phaser [.io] was a decent contender.
Yeah, the 2020 Tiguan I just got averages 27 if I'm lucky. You'd probably have to get a Honda CRV or something smaller like that.
I'm done of the on star GM vehicles you can swap the OnStar for an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter if you like. It's been a few years, but had been looking at used trucks but wanted the Bluetooth support a few years back.

I will say definitely like having a backup camera, and use the steering controls while driving. The remote/Internet support is a bit scary.

Ironically, my challenger came with 3g wireless which is no longer in service, never bothered to get the upgrade.
Start with 2D and something like gamemaker, stealing sprites from games like metal slug. If they aren't familiar - setup a mame or snes emulator and go to town.

The key is to reduce the barrier to entry and get something
emergent to happen. Like a zombie shooter where a shot zombie stumbles into a fire barrel that adds "fire" to anything it touches.
This could create a flaming zombie that spreads fire to the other zombies. Boom, the kid is hooked and before you know it you're paying for expensive and dubious game design curriculum cursing my existence.
I'd be really skeptical that there exists companies who would love to be the portal for a smaller cut then Apple. At least longer term. I can see someone, just to get their platform off the ground, trying undercut for a little while. But 30% is sort of like an industry standard. Google takes 30%. There are alternative app stores for Google, but really how prevalent are they and are they really worth mentioning. Nintendo takes 30%. Steam I believe takes 30% [1]. So even in markets where alternative app stores/portals can exist, 30% is still pretty much 'industry standard.' Gog is 30%. Microsoft store is 30%. Playstation is 30%.

[1] https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/07/report-steams-30-cut...
the first two or three paragraphs dont really make sense. developers are not end-users, and if they are making profit to pay the 30%, they are making money. small businesses are only charged 12/15% anyway.
I don't have a solution, but I tried to do something similar and asked my friend who is a manager in data and identity management at Facebook how I could create an account for some experimentation. He explained to me that they are very strict on identification nowadays and the only way to get back into a locked out account is to show ID next to your face on camera.
I did not want to continue gambling with my childrens' educational outcomes via De Blasio's opaque/random NYC DOE. Crossing my fingers for Pre-K and K was enough nonsense. For example, putting our actual first choices halfway down our preference lists.

So, now I pay transparent /deterministic property taxes in a town in NJ.

I have only a small number of educational outcome samples to draw for my children. Consequently, I pay for the higher Sharpe NJ strategy instead of blindly accepting high variance hexadecimal dice rolls from the NYC DOE.

Remember, when trying to obtain the best possible outcomes for your children, if you aren't paying in money then you are paying in time. Witness how much effort went into this article and how many very industrious parents will study/internalize it to try to obtain marginally better outcomes for their children next year. You are always competing in expenditures, just with the NYC DOE it's your time versus other parents' time.
i'm still using a 2015 imac as my desktop.

i bought it primarily for photography. it has a 5k wide-gamut screen, and when i bought it used, an equivalent LG monitor actually cost more.

there has just never been a reason to upgrade. the 2022 studio display has the same resolution and color depth.
Fastmail

Would be really interesting if Notion acquired Fastmail.

It’d be a solid Google Workspace competitor for new startups to use.
My dad was a piano professor and my mom a German professor, so throughout my childhood PDQ Bach was a big presence. Dad would joke that I was the only kid who knew the 1712 Overture but not the 1812 Overture. On a road trip to drop me off at summer camp, he and I made a big detour just to stop in Hoople, North Dakota, home of the fictional university at which Professor Pete did his research and of the fictional orchestra that performed PDQ Bach's works. (Unfortunately the city of Hoople doesn't seem to have embraced its provenance.)

My wife, who grew up in a normal family, thinks the fact that my family's idea of a good time is listening to a cassette of "classical music humor," is the nerdiest thing ever.

I was just listening to the 'WTWP' album yesterday. Thanks, Dr. Schickele, for being such a cherished part of our family!
Not so much that Google hasn't birthed _any_ original products but rather that their customer service is abysmal and they've consistently shown poor long-term commitment to the end user, or worse, e.g. Reader, Nest, Fitbit, even Tensorflow is dead. The theory is that Google makes it needlessly hard for product people to innovate there, and the evidence is in Google's outsized insularity and coddling of technical projects that end up mostly for internal entertainment.
Product has been updated to reflect this.
In the comments they said they used to drive in the snow with FWD but prefer AWD. They might not be okay with RWD. I personally loved sliding around my 240s in the snow but that's not for everyone :)
My desktop is a 2013 custom build, and is still going strong with all of its original parts. My wife's previous computer was a near identical build from 2012 and also lasted nine years.
The weirdest part of SI is the whole luminous units. It was the hardest to understand. And why (in definition) is `lm = cd * sr`, not the normal way around `cd = lm / sr`?
Depends, did you get a sweet tax deal for locating your HQ with the implicit understanding that putting the HQ there would drive tax revenue back to the city? Did you tell your friends and top investors of this decision and did they purchase real estate in the area with the implicit understanding that they'd be landlords for your new HQ?

Work from home is a cost savings companies so it would seem they'd be motivated to downsize office space, but this isn't what's happening. In a world where costs are always the highest priority, I'm not buying the culture/work ethic argument.

My son passed May 10 2018; I was drunk from May 11 2018 until sometime in 2022 with struggles off and on. I’d love to chat about the insane level of grief I experienced and maybe help or just listen. Come find me if you’d like.
> I have to think GIMP has caught up with and surpassed CS6 by now.

Feature-wise, maybe, but UX is totally different.

If you are using the latest Adobe products at work, for example, you would want the same UI when you are doing something at home.
JOOC Why is hiring contractors a no-no? I have the opposite problem right now -- I'm a contractor being pestered to go W2 and I am resisting as politely as I can. It's actually been a common thing in my career. (here's half of the cash and a dental plan -- uhhh thanks but no?)

Surprised that someone like G would avoid using this as a culture/work fit litmus test and not want to fast-track great contractors.
I recently went RTO in a major metro, the post tax hit was between 10-15k USD, I was fortunate to already own a home near enough to my office. The majority of which comes from parking, and lunch.

Pre-pandemic you didn’t really notice these things, but it adds up fast.
Isn’t that how all locks work? Or at least most?

I’ve always assumed the energy cost to pump the water would make it cost prohibitive, but I wonder how it compares to rerouting ships or moving containers over land.
The only thing I've ever had issues with doing it remote is writing compliance policy, operational guidelines, and organizational standards. My boss wanted them re-written once every year into a different format and it destroyed my soul. What we had worked fine and didn't need to be re-written in my opinion.

It might make sense to link to the most recent (2023) survey results instead, since relevant changes were made: https://medium.com/algorithms-in-the-wild/results-from-the-2...
I'm actually working on a project called "Failwind". It uses AI to figure out what you were trying to do with Tailwind, then rewrites your CSS using semantic classes.
Does anyone who uses the term "lefty" actually converse with any progressives in real life (trolls on social media do not count)? I've volunteered in efforts in the ground, I've worked directly with state legislators and their staff, and I have never come across anyone framing the argument in this manner.
Are self checkouts really 'failing' in other parts of the world? All the major supermarkets near me have self checkouts and almost everyone uses them. Unless you have a huge trolley full of shopping it's quicker and easier just to scan a few items, wave your card at it and you're done. I'm sure they get a bit of shrinkage but by and large everyone seems to do the right thing.

Now if only they'd remove that obnoxious "WOULD ya LIKE to PRINT a RECEIPT?" at the end... :P

MakeCode allows you to begin with block code and slide into Python or Javascript. It has many resources available or you can make more sprites or tunes for your game.
Even better, you can get a GameBoy-esque hardware to transfer your game too.
I make a Sharks-With-Lasers game with my Year 7 students (11-12 yrs) and most find some aspect to enjoy. Larger frameworks can make it tough to get all the way to a game yiu can play yourself. Go for early success, then build on larger frameworks.

I didn't want to associate this account w/ my real name but now that you mentioned it wasn't right of me to not point that out. I added a disclaimer.

The posted algorithm and the one mentioned in my paper are very similar. It is just that the cumulative sum computation is parallelized in the posted website.
Would be great to have an alternative to PDF, but this spends too much time on saving web pages that weren't meant to be portable (and can't be faithfully saved as PDF ) vs doing detailed format description/comparison and generation/editing
And this is why Googlers' favorite line is "I'm sorry you feel that way." At Google, yes there are feelings good and bad, but only reason is right, and so Google protects itself by making any criticism unreasonable.

An HTML document can be plain text, and the sorts of documents you're referring to should be. I didn't say I wanted _websites!_ I just want content in a simple text-based format, not an inflexible more-or-less-binary blob.

> I make PDF files all the time with my scanner

In a hypothetical world without PDFs, wouldn't images work just as well for this? It's not like scanners are creating the same typographic layout etc. as a publisher needs to do when they send documents _to_ a printer?
All CPUs idle at that same speed.
You aren't the only one... I liked bootstrap combined with a component library that abstracted it a bit much more.

I'm thinking something similar using a web component library could be good. Maybe material or fluent based.
> And doesn't Epic Games Store already do payment processing for third party game developers?

Yes, but they don’t currently offer it for iPhone apps and games. Just to reiterate, I think this is the best argument for standing I’ve seen, but it’s not an easy sell and if Epic does get into this business, it leaves them in a position of basically trying to undercut the 3 percentage points that Apple is valuing their payment processor at.

> Maybe the argument would be that Apple is actually charging more than 3% for payment processing and is continuing to charge the difference even when you use a third party payment processor, to discourage anyone from doing so. Which could provide a new chance to raise the issue of their high fees, if this is the first time Apple has tried to declare a split.

Judges don’t usually want to get into the business of setting prices for private businesses. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has already determined that Apple has a right to collect their commission, and Apple has already had to define the value of what the payment processing portion of what that is in the Netherlands. ~3% is also generally what you can expect to pay a payment processor to begin with which is why it never, even from the beginning of the App Store, for people to interpret “30%” as Apple’s payment processing fee because even back then, that’s not what any reasonable payment processor charged. If needed, Apple could probably produce documentation showing what they pay a processor.
This exists on Samsung. I've used it on my S10 Lite since day one and I am not sure if it's directly related but my battery is fine approaching 4 years now. All my previous phones had issues with the batter around the 2 years mark. (It might just be improved battery tech too)
> it's a very manual process and very few companies use that feature in any sort of scale

Is it because it's manual?

Since all those data collections which has been to be used manual are slowly turning into training data for models atm.
> on the contrary I'm really disappointed in how long its taking anything to get into production.

I agree. I was thinking about making a Jarvis like bot which should be pretty easy at this point. The main problem was that my iPhone doesn’t easily allow for pressing a button upon which it starts listening. You always need to unlock first at which the whole screen gets unlocked too. Maybe these kind of GUI-focussed interfaces are blocking a lot of ideas? At the same time it’s great that people will come up with new devices and these will compete somewhat with phones.
Good play. Threat of startup breakthroughs will be crushed.
Yeah, a mod for Roblox, Garry's Mod, or Minecraft is the safest bet. Maybe there's another game I forgot
My son has a 1996 Buick and there is no problem getting parts

Hopefully the airbag in the steering wheel is not integrated with the horn in a vinyl housing.

The vinyl shrinks with age, and eventually to the point where there is sufficient pressure to continuously honk the horn.

When that happened to the 1997 Le Sabre I bought for my kid, the options were disconnecting the horn or replacing the airbag. The replacement options were NOS at around $1600 and around $800 for salvage.

Parts online not including labor, the colors were the last ones anyone would choose (non matching of course) and there was no guarantee the vinyl hadn’t shrunk to a similar point.

Eventually we bought him a Tacoma. I thought I gamed the system. I didnt.

Hopefully your mileage will vary.
There's some patent trolls sitting on patents related to 'teledildonics' and it's largely stagnated things.
It's not hard to say. The car experiment is not going well. We're funneling absurd amounts of money to maintain the infrastructure and still the roads are often crumbling. Traffic continues to get worse everywhere that depends on them. People are dying when they don't need to.
