True, but nothing about this stops someone from having their own cameras and selecting for themselves. The part that this restricts is the police selecting for themselves. So which do you trust less, the abusive partner or the police?

That's setting aside that this was also all about interior cameras, which are really a different subject from the exterior cameras. There are much stronger arguments for public requests for external camera feeds than interior ones.
Is that aimed the terrorists launching Iranian missiles at civilian targets in the first place or the military response?
We tend to work on one 'thing' at a time. Sometimes that means we're both/all on the same few lines of code writing a new function - at which point one person is usually doing all or nearly all the typing. If you then need to go define a constant somewhere else in the code or something the other person does that so you don't have to pause. Other times one thing involves code in various places because you're doing something like changing what arguments a function takes, or fixing compiler warnings, and we do spread out and handle instances of the thing we're fixing as we come across them.

Lines of code per second it's closer to one person than the 2 or 3 people involved, but the quality of those lines definitely improves a bit as people spot each-others mistakes/less than optimal choices. (Edit: But I'd emphasize we're doing this for fun, not to maximize productivity)
> None of this is a knock on big vehicles; people have their reasons for buying them.

Feels like this part should be explored more.

There's a problem - cars are getting bigger and there's a lack of infrastructure support. People are buying bigger cars for some reason. Is it actually necessary or is it just marketing at work?

The author assumes the larger vehicles are a natural progression and bases most observations on that.
If this makes a difference to you then you should adjust your withholding so you get less back. There are better ways to save than a tax refund.
The program is still BS, and was only even done solely to head off Right-to-Repair legislation which was not going Apple's way.

Board-level repair is pretty crucial for data recovery when the hardware manufacturer insists on soldering the solid-state storage to the motherboard.
Very cool and has a nice, easy interface. Would be awesome if you could assign time intervals to the vertical lines connecting events, and then at the end you could show the IRR and multiple on invested capital for each participant (except where that doesn't make sense, like for employees). Would also be nice if it had reasonable assumptions for fixed costs such as lawyer fees for each round, or investment banking fees for the exit sale.
Something really tickled me about clicking this link and seeing ... Shaq, of all people, grinning with his arms spread to advertise these printers.

So use a better language, and let the compiler optimize it??
Where does it say Ubuntu is preferred? When I got laptop (verified w/archive.org) the list even explicitly ranked Fedora above Ubuntu wrt ease of use
I don’t see how zero cost abstraction has anything to do with binary size. It’s about runtime efficiency of language features.

Optimizing binary size is a worthy and important goal because some people have uses cases where it matters. If you are not one of those people why fret about it?
Getting the same issue on Firefox on Android
I've a similar background, and have worked recently w/ a handful of teams with atrocious, self-imposed developer experience. I think that applying concepts like SLOs and error budgets to relevant developer-centric activities can really help focus the team and other stakeholders well before the experience passes some threshold of terrible.
Agreed! The defining characteristic of gas stations (and EV stations) will be average_stop_time.

These are order-of-magnitude different between gas and EV.

Consequently, it seems reasonable that convenience-optimized gas stations (fast food, grab and go snacks) will transition to more leisurely interactions (restaurant, shopping, attraction) for long-distance EV stopping points.

Which interestingly opens a distance-based development opportunity along high-volume routes (e.g. interstates).

X miles from (major city) to (major city) along (major interstate), regardless of whether there's any sort of town there, suddenly becomes an attractive place for commercial development.

But all of this is predicated on fast charging and battery tolerance... more expensive cars / infrastructure = shorter wait = more like current gas stations.
I run a bootstrapped business and I hear you. However, VC Funding can make sense for certain cases. I do think that too many people raise VC prematurely. The best path in my opinion is:

0-PMF/100 customers: Bootstrap it

PMF-Scale: VC Fund if you can show 100% growth each year and forward. If the market is big enough (TAM etc), This can become a billion dollar company and for this to happen fast enough, you will need funding. Also, the reason you need funding here is because it is very tough to scale a business slowly. Either you grow fast from here or die/stay average growth.

Again, like you said, nothing wrong with "chart my own path" but VC funding has its needs. It's just that most people try to raise funding way too early and hence cannot keep up with the growth requirements and eventually either die or sell/pivot for peanuts.
In the US at least, inHg is used to specify the altimeter setting in aviation.

No they don't. Pre-launch satellites do not normally leak toxic chemicals, nor emit noteworthy radiation, nor have dangerous voltages on exposed surfaces, nor ...

And as a Plan B - any satellites filled with secret sauce could easily be babysat (while in SpaceX's hands) by trusty USSF TSgt Top-Secret, who's been trained in what to do if things go horribly wrong.

People love the Star Wars they grew up with.

The resurgence of support you see for the prequels is just the kids who saw them at the age appropriate time are now grown up and posting to social media.

Unpopular opinion but I don’t think any of them are particularly good movies but as vehicles for toys and video games they captured the attention of every child

My own kids are growing up with Rebels, Asohka and Rey. The latter is getting a lot of hate right now but I’m sure in a couple decades the support will turn around
>This may have been fixed in recent versions where they finally added the ability to change the taskbar grouping in the settings, but I haven't felt the need to test it.

THANK YOU. I never heard about this, I had completely given up on using the taskbar for anything except the system tray.

I agree to the rest of your points -- I only use the start menu to search for stuff now. The pinned icons take up way too much space and even though I spent some time carefully curating them I never seem to want to use them.

You didn't mention the system tray, but I want to add that the redesign also made it worse than in Win10. The volume, battery, wifi, etc icons are joined into one button but actually if you right click they are three different buttons still. This is awful design, the fact that you have different options depending on where you right click is not communicated at all.
Ask HN: Roast My Freelance Landing Page
Hi HN, I would like to grow my freelance software development business and I've just rolled out a new landing page.

I would appreciate your feedback on:

- The effectiveness of the landing page in conveying my skills and services.
- Any areas where the content could be more compelling or clearer or more detailed.
- Your general impression and any suggestions for improvement.

Here is the link: https://appvisor.dev/
It might be the very-long takes without cuts (it’s nuts, he does the jacket-to-cardigan and oxfords-to-loafers getting-home routine and launches straight into his first segment all as one shot in at least most episodes, the craft and skill on display is really impressive) plus lots of looking straight at the camera, which are intended to avoid confusion (people aren’t born understanding the “language” of film editing) and make kids feel like he’s addressing them personally. Some folks find that kind of direct attention uncomfortable, and the avoidance of film/tv editing artifice might make it feel even more so.
Just signed up, this is awesome! Ran it over my blog and found 8 broken links.

One light bug: links to HN stories are marked as 403 forbidden (I guess the server blocks the crawler)

For the free tier: honestly I think you can charge even for small blog owners. I would pay a small yearly fee to make sure links are healthy

The IDF was not involved.

Supposedly, it was a chemical weapon, supposedly also used by the IDF. There's a lot of "supposedly" here because TFA has very few facts -- it's not even clear if anybody was actually "doused" with anything.

If there was in fact a chemical weapon attack, it is available in the US and was presumably sourced from there.

>Adobe is an example of a company that recognizes the value of providing an effective working environment for developers. CJ Dotson, senior PM of developer productivity at Adobe, notes that “when technology is what you sell, investments in DevEx are not optional. Adobe’s investment in DevEx leads to higher developer satisfaction and better business outcomes.”

Ok, a bit of a fluff, but sure, it's just a first paragraph of a chapter, surely they will expand on it in the next one and actually give some examples. After all, they wouldn't make this a one-of statement just to mention Adibe by name and get that sponsorship money, right?
Right?!
The thing I loved about Spectrum was game loading graphics from tape. Spectrum had a very strange video memory layout, so the bitmap would load first into different thirds of the screen (but still all monochrome). And then at the end the attributes (which were much smaller due to the 8x8 size) would load almost instantly, "painting" the monochrome image in a final splash! So this is very nostalgic for sure.

And the funny thing is, I like the spectrum renders better than the "perfect" ones from a modern computer :-)
Riemann died young, too. I only really know him for the Riemann sum formulation of integrals (I have yet to learn complex analysis), but I wouldn't be surprised if he has some popular reach through the Riemann hypothesis.
Very cool idea! Congrats!
The video is a major part about this very point. This isn't some minor little bit, they clearly think this is some major advantage that Common Lisp has, which is ridiculous.
This would be amazing.

We road trip a few times a year in our Model Y and the Superchargers at the gas stations are the best. Grab a snack, a bathroom break, and a small walk, then back on the road.

The chargers near nothing are just inconvenient. We only normally stop for 15-20 minutes so walking 15 minutes to a store is normally a little forced and so we'll just poke around the Supercharger and then stop at a gas station for a snack afterwards.
Could you cite a source for that claim please? This is the first that I'm hearing this.
It is in progress; Login.gov is implementing improvements to remote identity proofing and identity assurance to meet IRS' IAL requirements. 12-18 months until delivery, likely next tax season.

And don't give me any "three ticks" bullshit. Show me source.

Would you care to elaborate? There are some pain points that we're aware of, some of which we're actively working on, but there might be some you encountered that we don't know about and it would be helpful to find out about them so we can potentially address them in the future.

> Jar Jar Binks was a horrible, no good character

Although I don't believe in the existence of more than two Star Wars films, George Lucas is not known for writing deep characters. You're not supposed to like Jar-Jar, he's the titular Phantom Menace, and of course he's horrible and no good. No wonder he's always trying to mess everything up and make it look like he's just clumsy. whoops I accidentally convinced the Intergalactic Senate to invest unrestricted emergency powers in my evil friend. Oh darn.
You’re off base here. No single study should ever be used as a basis for policy. Real science is a slow deliberative process that incrementally arrives at the truth. Input from the broader community in the form of confirmatory studies and stringent fact checking is very much part of the process, especially in complex fields like biology and psychology.
Login.gov exists so you have one login across all federal agencies. Why would you hate this? It is more efficient and a better UX for consumers of digital government services. Admittedly, there will be some rough edges during this transition from disparate idps or legacy private corp identity providers, but the end state will be improved.
I took one for the team and authorized access for long enough to read the darn thing, and yes, it expects effectively full copyright assignment and leaves the door wide open for a rug pull.

Interesting choice on licenses.

I’m been super happy with Zed, my main requests (and I’ve sent in this feedback to them or contributed to existing GitHub Issues)

a. Window Size & Position doesn’t persist after closing Zed.

b. I constantly run into Language Server errors

c. Alabaster use to work as a theme, doesn’t anymore. Would be great if you could import VSCode themes into Zed

All above has tickets open.

Hope these small things get addressed because I truly love the elegant UI design of Zed

For those who haven't used Zed, it's the first GUI editor I've used in 25-years of development that wasn't distracting.

It's hard to describe how much more focused I am when not distracted with a Christmas tree scene of icons, menus, colors, etc. like you see in other editors.

Zed is very calming, due to its focus on not having distractions. Give it a try if you haven't.

I had to write a piece of logic that sends a GET when HEAD fails, because of a non-HTTP compliant servers. HEAD should in theory return the same status as a GET, but without any body. In practice, many web servers return 404, sometimes 500. HN itself returns 405 Method Not Allowed, which makes some sense, I guess.

The code in question, simplified:

defp try_get_request?(%Link{method: :head}, %StatusResponse{} = response) do
# Per HTTP specification, the HEAD response should be functionally equivalent to a
# GET, but shall not contain any body.
# Not all servers respect this, so might have a different status response on HEAD than on GET.
#
# We assume that some HTTP status codes are suspicious and worth retrying.
#
# HTTP 520 is seen with Cloudflare to mean "Web Server Returned an Unknown Error", possibly
# in response to a HEAD request.

If taxes are simple you don't realize how much they are. These people want everyone to write a check on April 15th every year for the full amount - having to come up with more than $10,000 on short notice is very hard for most people. They don't like withholding because people pay attention to the bottom line and so they don't notice the hundreds of dollars missing form each pay check.
To be clear, I am not saying that Erdos and Tao are less talented than Euler. That seems impossible to say. But the magic of Euler is that his fingerprints are all over so many of the fundamental things that can be understood by a bright high school student but were mostly unknown before him. The work of figures like Erdos and Tao seems far, far less accessible in its present form at least and thus more limited in its overall impact.
Agree, there is an open source runner called act, but when I tried it (briefly) it seemed to give different results from actual actions which is unfortunate

An official local runner would be fantastic
Can you elaborate on that guess a bit?
Layoffs happen somewhere every year, even in amazing economies (and many have already been announced this year). Do you mean are we going to have a repeat of 2023, with a massive amount of tech layoffs? I don't know, I'd assume we wouldn't, but so far the year isn't off to a great start on that front, seeing quite a few tech companies announcing more layoffs, so I'm not sure.
PLG and Self-Service: Are they same or different?
Is there a book other than Bell’s “Men of Mathematics” that broadly covers the lives of a lot of mathematicians? I loved that book when I read it as an undergraduate, but I wouldn’t mind having a second opinion.
Yes, I think I was participating in those talks.

That does raise a good point -- If this concept might one day go over to the every day class, it sounds like they might be forced to list the deconstruction pattern used to do "reconstruction".

Either way, my main point is that -- the implicitness of this feature is appreciated, but I don't know if I want to be forced between implicit or just not using this feature, since my uninformed gut feels like I would appreciate the explicit clarity of seeing the variables I am working with. It might feel like a step back, but again, this is my opinion before having a chance to try this thing.

I think you misunderstood the parent comment. The first part reads as if you're replying to a different comment, I don't see how you could come to that conclusion based on what was said.

For the second part, they were talking about the scientific community, supporting the paper by reproducing results. Not regular Joes saying "I support this paper" or whatever, if that's what you were thinking.
Sure; you just drive it to the nearest Apple service center.
Ones and zeros aren't a body. A body is the composition of matter (silicon or carbon or whatever) which has capacity for potential. Potential is where the magic happens. Ones and zeros are states which may be represented by potential.
Some comments: Google, so we'll probably never get to use this directly.

That said, the idea is very interesting -- train the model to generate a small full-time representation of the video, then upscale on both time and pixels.

Essentially, we have seen models adding depth maps. This one adds a 'time map' as another dimension.

Coherence is pretty good, to my eye. The jankiness seems to be more about the model deciding what something should 'do' over time, where a lot of models struggle on keeping coherence frame by frame. The big insight from the Googlers is that you could condition / train / generate on coherence as its own thing, then fill in the frames.

I think this is likely copyable by any number of the model providers out there; nothing jumps out as not implementable by Stability, for instance.
The fact your argument is even controversial is indicative of how science has become politicized.

I think this is partially correct. Inner monologue is not an illusion, and choosing a wrong linguistic construct for your audience (sometimes from another language) through temporarily forgetting to context switch does happen. However, thinking something without ever having done so in words does seem to strongly correlate with your assertion.

Tangentially, I realised in high school that I was doing almost all math operations as word transformations. I reasoned this was why even familiar procedures for which I confidently & consistently got correct results were taking substantially longer than everybody else. I was translating everything twice.
