I don't see how it is. The mere processing of my personal information (age, gender, race – doesn't matter that it's only a guess/estimate) without my explicit consent or any contractual need should already represent a violation of GDPR.
Danish institutions (including banks) seems fine with PDFs.

I think that's shown by the post statistics: around 25 letters received per resident, per year.

1) In React, re-renders don't destroy the DOM. So nothing would happen if iframes were re-rendered.

2) Rather, we intentionally unload interactive editor preview iframes to improve memory usage when you scroll away from them. We do load them again when you scroll up — and normally that would be instant because the code for them would get cached. But the author has intentionally disabled cache, so as a result they get arbitrarily high numbers when scrolling up and down.
It is always the others that believe in false information. "The stupid people", I guess. This is a completely fictional perspective that there are masses convinced and led astray by misinformation on the internet.

Misinformation only works if it confirms what people want to believe already. That there exists or not exists such material is secondary at best. But well, that is off topic I guess.

This just seems to conflate PRs & commits, or not care about the latter at all; the perspective of someone who files a PR with 100 commits like 'fix typo', 'try again', 'the test broke', etc.

> For speed and quality, PRs should be maintained under 200 lines—with 50 lines being ideal.

Is maybe a reasonable goal for a commit. The PR should then have as many of those commits (which probably doesn't strictly sum their LoC count) as necessary for the feature/fix.

Edit: In fact - I thought this was familiar, I just couldn't find a past submission from the same URL, because it was a newsletter puff-piece - I've said similarly before here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37917559

Also related, even more recently, is GitButler: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39357068 which despite my scepticism there I think is a better solution for this 'problem' (i.e. an easier way to handle rebasing dependent branches) than for some reason having to up-end code review as a side-effect; I don't really understand the link at all if you look at Graphite's home page and 'learn more about stacking', nice to make that easier but what's it got to do with how we review the changes on those branches?
I have tried and tried to make Decap cms work for my huge go hugo site. I just could never make it work without refactoring a LOT of my code.

I just tried this out, and after an hour of work, I managed to get it working for my weird use case! It's way slicker and better performant than decap. Fantastic job!

The main issue I've had with Decap and Front Matter:

I have a flat file with hundreds of entries for a _collection_. (Yes, I know I'm misusing this, but I don't have time to refactor everything)

But for my use case, I don't want to have a folder with a file for each entry. I want a flat yaml to act as the collection.
SEPA is basically free and instant. There are some shortcomings but even with them there is hardly demand for for any other service (why would consumers decide to use anything but banks transfer and/or credit/debit cards when the fees are so low?)

I am lucky to live in a country in which a large religious population eschews the smartphone, so saying "I don't have one" is acceptable and common here.

I've seen management let bad engineers re-do projects from scratch 2 or 3 times. Because they blame bad requirements, poor choice of programming language, and whatever on all the issues that the project has.

They eventually acquire enough experience to be able to produce something that sort-of works around the 3rd attempt.

But thanks to how good they are at communicating, are considered by management to be good engineers.

While doing a working project at the 1st try, without using this week's new framework and so on isn't as valued.
Clinton, Bush (to a lesser extent only because of the obsession with the Middle East) and Obama sold out to China. Trump started the course reversal that Biden has astutely continued and whoever doesn't lose the next election is likely to introduce harsher restrictions.

The only difference between Trump and every other person who wants to be a president/senator is he was actually persecuted for corruption. Good they went after him. Next go after everyone on the Senate arms committee for insider trading

While I like and use Remix I do agree with your prediction about its future. Sadly.
High-end rewards cards are quite profitable on their own, thanks to the annual fee, high volume of interchange fees, and the high probability of successful collection.

Low end cards aren’t expensive because they are subsidizing high-end cards; they are expensive because they need to cover the collection costs

That's fine? I'm not criticizing that path: it's more pleasant, enjoyable, and probably better for almost everyone.

You're coming at me with a level of hostility that is unwarranted.

That doesn't make YC bad, and it doesn't make you bad. It just makes you a poor fit.
Why is that particularly relevant?

There have been lots of hacker for hire companies from around the world. You want to embargo India because of Appin, Italy for Hacking Team, Israel for NSO Group? If you are worried about "state-backed hackers" I mean... what is the NSA again?
OpenBSD tried to import their CVS tree a while ago, it didn't go well. Now some OpenBSD devs are essentially re-implementing Git as their hopeful long-term solution to getting off CVS at some point.
Which is why the forced digitalisation of everything, accompanied in almost all cases by centralisation, poses very big strategic risks that almost no-one in a position of power is willing to openly talk about.

In the Eastern-European capital where I'm living (EU and especially NATO member bordering Ukraine) the local mayor's office has implemented a parking verification system which involves a few Town Hall cars driving around with "AI"-cameras attached and filming almost everything on sight, automatically identifying number-plates. I'm pretty sure that that system and the data stored there is a lot less secure compared with what some special security service would have put in place, and, yet, the data stored in there (basically the real-time locations and identification of almost all the cars in the downtown-ish area of this NATO capital) is just as important as anything held by said security services and labeled as "state secrets".
That's somewhat deceiving because these regulations don't include bank fees (about 1% in total is pretty standard)
There is the bias you describe.

There may also be a perception that leaving out old knowledge is somehow a "loss", not noticing or recognising the entrance of new knowledge. When I studied, there wasn't room for learning git, and now CI pipelines are on the curriculum. And I may take learning git for granted because I know it.

So yes, a lot of sample size = 1 mentality.
The other thing is that passing a class isn't for the benefit of the schools; it's for the benefit of the student.

* User is running a demanding application (e.g. game).

* CPU clock speed increases (turbo boost), as long as the CPU isn't hitting: 1) Tj_MAX (max temp before thermal throttling kicks in); 2) the power and current limits specified by the motherboard (in this case, effectively disabled by the out of spec settings).

* Weaker chips will require more power to hit or maintain a given turbo clock speed: with the power and current limits disabled, the CPU will attempt to draw out of spec power & current, causing issues for the on die fully-integrated voltage regulator (noting that there's also performance/quality variance for the FIVR), resulting in the user experiencing instability.
This sounds a lot like the behavior I see when I have over locked my processor too far, and try to run AVX heavy workloads! Cranking down the frequency during AVX seems to stabilize things.

I am dealing with similar. I can provide solutions 10x faster than anyone. Everyone looks up to me, and are dependent on me for solutions to everything.

However it is clear that noone is improving and that the process IS me.

What I've been trying to do is make sure that my scope and role is fully clarified, and any "extra" activity that I perform is documented and flagged. Anything that becomes a "common" activity implies a missing part of the process - be it a role that is missing, or a skillset that is lacking.

Before you start thinking that it is pretentious or self serving, it's perhaps the opposite - you owe it to the process and the team/business/organisation to make them see what you're putting in, else they fail to find the gap.

It's not paid off yet, but hopefully it will yield results within the next 6 months.

There really needs to be some kind of cryptographic authentication system for text messages and caller ID that gives the recipient absolute certainty about the identity of the sender. Registering a name in this system should require real-world proof of identity including a business address and the contact information of real people. There should be serious financial penalties for identity fraud. It should be an open standard that can be implemented in open source software. And all the big phone manufacturers should be legally compelled to use it.

Yes, I agree, "how broken the entire web stack" is the main problem. And the ungodly amounts of javascript you end up for the simplest problems is the symptom. However, neither caching nor PWA are the specific main problems in the web's brokenness :)
> In a world with disparities of "cultural capital", not to mention $30K prep schools, which factors do you consider to be objective?

$30k/year private school helps very little for standardized tests or Math Olympiad or things like that. In part because elite WASPs consider those things gauche. A kid from public school can be on a level playing field with my kids on the SAT by investing a couple of hundred bucks in buying old administered tests to practice on.

$30k/year private school helps massively on “soft” metrics colleges look at: essays, teacher or counselor recommendations, weird coursework, work in public service, “leadership,” entrepreneurship, etc. All the shit WASPs think make for a “well rounded” student. For example, a recent thing is trying to get your kid “published” while still in high school. How many professors does a bright kid in rural Iowa know? I know dozens.

> Go also favors simplicity for the programmer

I used to say this too, but after I've been writing Rust for a few years, in hindsight it feels like Go as a language is simpler, but I tend to end up with more code to maintain.

I guess the error handling leaves a bit to be desired for, and I'd say even though it's better than exceptions, I still prefer Result in Rust.

I hope that with the introduction of generics in Go, things will become simpler (I know a lot of people dislike this type of polymorphism because it feels like extra complexity, but I've always seen it as a tool to reduce complexity)
Sure, but it still has to result in a smooth interpolation. If the relation between latent and pixel space isn't continuous you're gonna have problems during learning.
I've used turn it in and late as December. The MSword plugin scans your paper and offers you a grammerly like experience. It shows which words, quotes, sentences, have come up in other papers and the probability of plagiarism.

It tells you what it thinks of your papers before you turn it in. I think the threshold can be adjusted depending on the school using it. But my expectations from using it, is that it tells you before your turnitin where the discrepancies are, and it gives you a chance to fix them.

So I'm not sure how it's possible to submit with this big of a discrepancy.

It's even worse than that. Scammers are sending messages through booking.com, so you get a message from the hotel, in your booking.com inbox, with a link to a payment site that just makes a payment to the crooks. The root cause is either hotel employees installing session-stealing malware, either accidentally or by being part of the scam.
This will never work as long as calls and SMS messages are routed over the existing telecom networks. The infrastructure is simply too insecure to enable this kind of scheme.

> So if you hire people that move around a lot (...)

That's not what the author is saying.

His point was about company loyalty, not randomly hopping between jobs.

If your employer fails to value you, does not provide good working conditions and is unable or unwilling to review your salary to match your market value, only an idiot would not accept a better job offer when one presents itself. You might bend over backwards for your job, but your employer will drop you at a moment's notice.

If you are a HR minion and after reading this article your position is that you would pass on this candidate for absolutely no reason at all other than he might accept a better offer, that tells more about your incompetence and your employer's inability to compete in the job market than it tells about any candidate.

It's ok if this sort of HR type that grandstands in LinkedIn does indeed pass on candidates based on this nonsense. This just means they are personally the reason why their company fails to retain workers and thus is forced to waste more resources replacing those who are not good enough to be extended an offer from competitors. But that tells more about the value they destroy in their company than it does about any candidate.

So no, this is not the flex they believe it is.
I think the main issue is there then :

> 'ignore your customers'

I'm not a customer of any music app. I'm not a customer of any dnd app. I am a user of music companion app, and in my opinion, but i'm clearly in the majority in my area, full feature tuner/music apps are inferior to companion apps for musicians. And it's the same for character sheet helpers for rpgs, we tried using an app a few years ago, it worked well enough, but companion apps are just better in my experience if you play on a table.

Probably because often, companions app have users, not customers?
One thing that has held back a lot of computer automation is context. For example, an app can know your geographic location, it can know your activity level, it can know what messages you send and receive, but it doesn't know you, it doesn't know how you think, what influences you, what perspective you have, what is happening in the world around you. An LLM that can look at images of the world around you constantly and continuously extracted details could provide an enormous amount of context that could feed automation. So your personal assistant knows why now is the right time to offer particular suggestions and knows why you would be interested (I'm anthropomorphizing as a shortcut). Huge privacy issues here also.

As an example, using AI to detect cognitive decline. A senior person is losing their balance more often recently as detected by an accelerometer. Are they experiencing a sudden cognitive decline? Part of the context might be that they had a visit from grandchildren recently and the children spent the day playing and left stuff scattered all over the house. Hence there is more stuff to trip over. Without the ability to extract that context the accelometer readings are difficult to interpret.
Cut down on the grandstanding maybe. It's clear from its descriptions and what we known now that they just carelessly added "diverse ethnicities and genders" or whatever to prompts across the board to compensate for a model that otherwise clearly would have defaulted to just spitting out pictures of white people for most prompts. That's not part of some nefarious agenda to destroy Truth and history but literally just trying to cover their asses because Google has a history of accidental racism (e.g. the "tagging Black people as gorillas" incident a while back).

Pretending that a shoddy AI image generated with a blatant inability to produce consistent output is a "serious risk" is ridiculous. The thing wasn't even able to give you a picture of the founding fathers that didn't look like a Colors of Benetton ad. I struggle to imagine what tangible risk this "misinfo" would have. Norwegians being the wrong color? And what harm does that do? Bad assumptions about the prevalence of sickle cell anemia?
Yeah, totally could be :)

Too bad your comment got buried so far down, I think it's a very interesting critique of the Jaynes fandom here on HN. Of course, the point that Jaynes's arguments are unconvincing because his examples could also be interpreted differently is hardly sophisticated, especially since not all of his examples from, say, the Illiad, even mention hallucinations explicitly (instead, Gods sometimes just suddenly disappear, leaving those who were following their commands confused - Jaynes argues this is exactly because the God had been a hallucination all along), and he spends some time on showing that the very concept of an internal mind-space didn't exist in early Greek civilization.

Your point on the Jaynes fandom is interesting, though. I'll make sure to keep the in mind the next time the topic comes up here.
