The funny thing is that a lot of these startups give out a Bose noise cancelling headphones along with the onboarding. I have really good hearing, so loud clapping for example will make me cower. Listening to background discussions in startups is quite literally physically torturing to me.
Agreed. There needs to be some way for consumers to easily have products tested and significant fines issued against retailers that are found to be selling counterfeit items.

If the consumer gets a cut of that fineabd it's greater than the cost of the product testing then there will be an economic incentive for someone to go after this problem and the people who profit off of it.
In the USA. There are more countries in the world, not sure why a bot should have a left leaning slant just because the American right is stupid. I get it could get that since it is trained on the English web, but there is no reason it has to be left leaning.
This is fantastic! I have been thinking about building something like this myself. I'm definitely going to deploy this in my area. I hear gunshots almost every weekend. Heard 2 sets of gunfire about an hour ago.

Thank you for posting this link.
It doesn't look like a living animal that way. It is a nice icon or image, but not a nice picture of an animal.

Although maybe that is the point, insects are gross so humans maybe prefer the non animal like picture of it. Many don't like the actual body of a butterfly, they just want the colorful wings so drawing it in a way that makes you not see it as an animal could be better for that reason.
This was the big shortcoming of computers in my education too. The kids famously knew more than the adults, but all we really knew how to do over them was use a two button mouse correctly and to browse a gui menu system. There was no one around to actually introduce you to how it all worked. I hope schools are better about that today, but its hard when the sort of expertise you need to quickly iterate off of generational knowledge is able to pull quadruple or more a teachers salary and works someplace willing to pay that much instead.

One possible issue is that if sampling is even slightly biased, it can incorrectly estimate the relative frequency of different points/functions in tight inner function calls (which can't happen with infrequently called functions with a long runtime)?
Shouldn't the torus and the latter sphere be partially transparent if they are build from motion blur ? They seems to become opaque again at some point and it feels strange to me.
They benefit from all kinds of stuff, when we have fonds that rely betting on how long people are going to live, anything goes.

> "The one big thing I forgot about that was the value of the employee communications you get with cubes." [paraphrased Eric Schmidt] [...] It’s utter bullshit and executive fantasy. If you walked around Google and their open offices, almost half the workers are wearing headphones to screen out the noise. Do you just yell over and communicate with people, like in the executives’ fantasy? No, first you have to wave your hand in front of their face to get their attention.

FWIW, cubicles can work better than that.

My first software engineering job, we had cubicles, and you could walk past and see what people were doing, knock (if they hadn't configured their cube to have the opening in view), wheel your chair to the opening and talk across the hallway, wave someone into your cube to see something on your screen, etc. People actually did all that often. And on occasion you could get some focus time.

But when I visited one of the Google satellites, there was this big area of dystopian open office layout, with people clustered densely around these grotesque insectoid pods of desktop. I don't blame them for needing headphones. I recall the mere sight of the pods making me anxious, and thinking that I would have to find a way to work there without becoming a pod person.

Anyway, I wouldn't take Eric Schmidt seriously, on the proper care and feeding of tech workers, after his involvement in screwing over all tech workers (at certain illegally colluding big companies, but also with presumed cascading market effects for everyone else):

It's progressively gotten worse, but the point for me was when they removed access for third party apps. Many people who contributed meaningfully left in protest.

The US has strong free speech rights. You cannot just ban a person or group from the right to petition their elected officials without constitutional changes.

Whether that right should exist is perhaps contentious.
I'm not filling the thing up to the brim or tamping anything down, probably 3 13 gallon kitchen bags fit in it before the lid is pushed open.
Still remember when first heard Aho-Corasick from the Snort IDS mailing list circa 2002. This paper described the optimization of Snort detection engine based on Aho-Corasick in the later version of Snort [1]. Not sure though which algorithm that the latest Snort 3 IDS is using for its detection engine [2].

Paged.js: open-source polyfill to produce print-ready PDFs using HTML/CSS
Good point. I tried it without it, and for some reason it didn't work. I didn't feel like figuring out why, so I left it. (My excuse was that in the future using an env var could let me set my default checking duration for the day/session without editing and reloading my .bashrc; obviously I'd have to check whether it was already set rather than just overwriting it, though.)
It’s already nationalized, just in a much more clever way. Now pols can dump backpocket money to their friends, yet still point the finger at evil corporations.
The cost of gas has come down in the city - around $4.30/gal for where I fill up. So yes, it’s actually cheaper to drive an ICE than an EV in SF.
There are orders of magnitudes more abortions than there are children who starve to death or get shot to death in USA, they aren't comparable at all if you actually believe abortion is murder. I don't think abortion is murder, but I don't think your argument here works against them, to them saving a thousand fetuses from getting aborted is worth more than saving one child that got shot.
China would have open access to the oceans even without controlling Taiwan. The same rules that deny China territorial rights to the South China Sea also grant it access to the oceans. The Nine Dash line is about territory. China wants the South China Sea to be considered its territorial waters where it can make stronger demands about who passes through and what they could do there. It's not the only country trying to do something like that, but international law generally only recognizes the sea up to 12 miles out to be territorial waters.

The Mandate of Heaven is rather more like a justification of de-facto rule and claiming to have lost it is an argument against a failing dynasty. The dynasty managing to unite China would declare it, and as it eventually collapses, rebels would declare it to be forfeit. There would be messy civil war, one of the warring groups would dominate all the others, and the cycle starts anew.
The research could help billions of future people avoid certain brain/mind diseases, and could lead to the sort of breakthroughs that will allow quadrillions of minds to live within the solar system or beyond.

Its a 64 gallon bin but I'm not packing it in either, trash is bagged. I guess I should have figured that based on the reaction in the comments. I'm probably tossing in 2-4 13 gallon tall kitchen bags of trash into there a week and even that much is enough to have it fill up to the top of the lid. I can squeeze in two weeks of trash in there if I forget to put it out for pickup one week but no further.

Performance Comparison and Detection Analysis in Snort and Suricata Environment
I too can't afford a room to call an office … but I still prefer WFH?

It does get a little hectic if there are two of us, and we both try to take a meeting overlapping each other. But the same is true of the "real" office, too, only balanced by meeting room availability. (But that only works for meetings where one can forego the rest of their computer, since you have to disconnect to move…)

Teaching Tech Together (2023)

Ok but shame about the apostrophe
Vouched for the dialog.

I didn't read their comment as a problem to be solved in the slightest. The great thing about living in the city is that one can also walk 5 min to their gym, then see people they might know from the gym on their way to the grocery store, and occasionally invite them to a drink within walking distance to their home if they want.

Or alternatively you can get on your bike and go wherever you want too, like many city people also do.

Living near options doesn't mean you're constantly engaging in those options, but if you are engaging in those too much, ya maybe move a bit further away.

Problem with many suburbs is that they're basically only a place to live in isolation, with a few exceptions. You see maybe a few scant people who walk their dog, everyone else is either at work, inside, in their backyard, or they've driven somewhere else.
> It's not that complicated to bring food from home for lunch, grab something on the way in, or go out for lunch -- I doubt you're working in a food desert after all.

Or, try to stay with me here, I'm just at my fucking house and I can pop into the kitchen whenever I want to get food. I can even take my laptop into the kitchen and be on a meeting while I'm cooking or eating.

I can make fresh coffee whenever I want. If I'm lazy I can order DoorDash and hot food just shows up at my door.

The idea conference rooms are places to get work done is ludicrous. Conference rooms are perennially booked, often overbooked, and at best you might get an hour of uninterrupted work done in one. Woe be unto the poor engineer that's found in a conference room by a middle manager. They'll get no end of shit for *reasons*.

Offices have only gotten worse over the past few decades. If my work doesn't involve physically touching hardware (all my shit deploys to The Cloud) there's no reason I can't work from my house. I've been working remote for several years now and it's been amazing for my mental health and productivity. Not to mention I've saved thousands of dollars a year not having to commute.
So until elections? Sorry, but to be a US ally, what is that exactly good for?
Some time ago I did some test, 256 threads competing on a small number of cache lines, and found out that all, CreateMutex, CRITICAL_SECTION and SRWLOCK, were quite fair.

The most successful thread was only 25%, 15% and 9% ahead of the least successful one.
On the contrary, in my simple usermode spinlock the unfairness would be 1000% or even 2000%.
Russia runs German law system, it is just the results are so different that one has hard time to believe that it is the same system. The same with governance - German modeled, just again with very different results.

The Spanish is good contender, agree, though, German I think closer and historically provided more influence - there were no noticeable Spanish speaking, Spanish literature nor philosophy in Russia, while German speakers, German literature and philosophy were massively present.
Yeah I am using the visual volume measure here. Its probably 2-4 13 gallon kitchen bags of trash in there usually but that is enough to fill up the 64 gallon bin up to near the lid, sometimes push it up a little. Of course all the data in the literature out there is using weight as their metric, and I have no idea how much weight I am tossing, just a loosely packed volume of trash.
PG&E's rates and operational budget is approved by the California government. They can't just raise rates on their own. Or spend less to make more profit.

Super cool. Been to Death Valley a few times; got rained on once, and even snowed on crossing the mountain range between Panamint Valley and Death Valley (I think the range tops out around 3500'?).

What surprised me, though, was that one could kayak in Lake Manly. I guess it never occurred to me to think about what's allowed vs not allowed.
The delivery fee is different for every building in the city. I’ve been receiving $200+ bills and been asking around to friends and their delivery fee per kWh is less than mine, for whatever reason. Sounds like you got lucky.

Why? Two big reasons off the top of my head:

1. Because then they'd have to pony up the money to capitalize the company, which now, is done by shareholders.

2. The next major screw up and the government would be blamed, not a company, so now votes are at risk.

anyone have an example comparison of the economics of manufacturing Drug A on earth vs in space with launch and reentry costs included? Is the yield improved that much for certain pharmaceuticals? Is it because we can just yeet waste substances towards the sun?
I'm not compressing my trash or anything. I don't even push down the kitchen trash because the sooner I take it out to the main bin the less likely it starts to reek for whatever reason. Then of course I don't compress the 64 gallon roller bin because it gets collected weekly, but by visual measure I am filling it up to the lid with 2-4 of these 13 gallon bags a week. They are kind of a terrible shape to slot in efficiently into this sort of bin the city has provided. One bag falls down vertically where it narrows substantially then two more fall on top of that, and the bin is pretty much filled to the lid at that point without some force and tetris.
And yet not only are modern computers special snowflakes, with exception of the desktop market only alive due to custom hardware used for AAA games on esports, we get whiz-bang chips on all of them.

The only difference is that instead of Assembly and DMA configurations, we now use whiz-bang chips vendor specific APIs.

Commodore and Amiga went down due to bad management.

PC weren't much better unless people were willing to buy whiz-bang sounds cards from Creative Labs or AdLib, while coding for VESA cards wasn't much better without a wrapper library, as contrary to the previous BIOS standards, using Super VGA required drivers from the card vendor.

Naturally not a problem for Windows 3.x games, but not everyone was that keen in adopting WinG from Microsoft.

Show HN: Google Sheets add-on to fuzzy lookup, highlight and remove duplicates
5 years ago, I created an add-on for Google Sheets called Flookup Data Wrangler for lightweight data cleaning inside the Google Sheets environment. It features both a menu function and a spreadsheet function component.

Flookup can be used to:

1. Lookup and match data regardless of text-based differences.

2. Highlight and delete duplicates even if the dataset has mismatched text.

3. Calculate the percentage similarity between text entries.

4. Extract unique values from any column based on percentage similarity.

5. Remove stop words based on text similarity and strip punctuations from strings as well.

Because of its versatility, Flookup can be used to return the best match, the next best match, etc. until the minimum percentage similarity is reached. This feature avoids weaknesses other fuzzy matching algorithms have because it safely hands power to you, the user, and I believe the user is the best judge of which data is a match or not.

One other great feature Flookup has is that it can be used to combine lookup values. This is particularly helpful when your dataset has many similar strings, and you want to include extra information to your lookup value in order to increase the specificity of your query.

This is what some collected info is. A hidden debt history on IP violations - and it's priced into the whole machinery. But if they sell it out en gross, and start collecting, then the "ignore privacy" jig is up.
This is literally it. In fact I'd posit that when we start being able to easily translate animal communication we'll probably stop being able to stomach eating them.
There have been a concerted effort to reframe the story because it remains so embarassing to the church. Yeah it is true Gallileo was arrogant and failed at playing the politicial game. He might have avoided the conflict if he had been better at sucking up to the pope.

However, the church forbade heliocentric theories up until the middle of the eighteenth century, long after Kepler and Newton. So clearly it wasn’t a question of evidence.
> I mean when the pandemic hit we all made do with what we had, and put a office setup somewhere in the house. But not everyone likes or wants the aesthetic of living room/WFH office.

The home office I have shoved into a corner is better than what any employer will provide.

I too wish for a raise, and the financial ability to afford an entire room to dedicate to work, and the crazy things I might be able to put in there, like a whiteboard.

> And then when you're off work, your office is right there looking you in the face from the webcam when you're trying to relax in your living room.

Post-It that webcam. But I agree, here, it does make it harder to disconnect.

But "the commute" is such a heavy negative, I think it outweighs it, still. Having so many weeks per year of my life back is wonderful.
On one hand, product-development on the computer is a lot better when people actually use the computer to the best of its abilities. A lot of people will just leave shit in people’s heads or request one-offs to be done EOD because, I swear, this was a last second client request and we really need it. On the other, I’ve done a lot of painful product meetings with PM seatwarmers who refuse to type anything at all into their tickets and devs who barely comment on important things like ticket size or whether or not something should be prioritized differently based on technical factors. I’ve met only a handful of good PO/PM types, and whether or not they work in person has had little to do with it.
Since when do you need desalination plants? Play stupid games, win stupid prices.

Most of the time all you need is to increase the water retention of the soil for the water that is already falling onto the location and to prevent erosion and runoff.
Sadly, its just how people do it these days. Schools aren't teaching kids how to put an apostrophe in it's correct place.
I agree with your point, and think it's also a complicated approach. The best way to put it could be that people having more knowledge of the world is better.

For context, some people probably don't really have an image of how a heart is shaped. There was half of a joke about city kids who thought cows were purple because of the chocolate brand [0], and they probably never saw a cow in actual life nor really registered the colors in the books. And IMHO the best solution would be for them to see cows, and the pigs, and so many more animals everywhere.

I kinda see the butterfly in the same way. The common icon being dead isn't great, but if we look at it as a symptom of a greater issue (I think we agree on this point) getting people to care more about butterflies in general would also solve the icon problem -- I'd actually want to see butterflies in the middle of cities. There would need so many things to change, but it would be for the better. Otherwise it becomes an endless battle as new icons are created everyday.

PS; this also reminds me of the wheelchair icon and the fight to have it rolling instead of static. And I was moved by the pitch for this idea, while also thinking "there's so few people in contact with wheelchair people in everyday life, will that message ever get a wide enough audience ?"
