The real comparison point is client rendered SPAs, which is the status quo in web app development that SSR frameworks are competing with.

No. Satellites don't use armouring at all. It makes the launch way too expensive. And there's always exposed bits that can't be armoured like solar panels and antennas.

What they do use is... foil! There's a thin layer of foil a bit away of the main body. If a small piece of dust hits it at crazy speed, the impact with the foil will make it (and a bit of the foil) vapourise, and then it won't cause much damage to the main body because it's all vapour.

I think this is a valid advice. However, there can also be (usually evenly spaced) grid lines, which are separate from axis lines. (The grid lines would extend the tick marks, probably with a thinner line and/or grey (or other colour) lines, than the axis lines.)

I have not used matplotlib (although I wrote a program in PostScript that does something similar), but I agree that the default is no good because the axis line is in the wrong place.

> In terms of programming, LeetCode is quite likely to be harder than your day job.

It's orthogonal to your day job. The "cruft" you talk about is how we remove ambiguity and fill in details so that work isn't a series of free-floating gedanken experiments. If you're able to apply codified knowledge like LeetCode to a programming task it means someone else has already done the heavy lifting.

We "lost touch" with DSA knowledge because it turns out that it's easier to work things up from base principles using the scientific method than memorizing crap that worked for the vacuum tube generation. We don't *need* a reductive LUT approach to the process anymore.
In case there is a language barrier or something going on... by "clever accounting trick" I meant that the analyst in question committed a well-known scientific fallacy.

PoE cameras (and doorbell) is something I’ve been looking at, but from the looks of it running ethernet in my house, which is a newer build (~2005) and wasn’t designed with things like that in mind isn’t going to be fun. Might as well go this route since I’ll be running regular ethernet between rooms anyway, but seems like it might be enough of a pain to be worth hiring a professional to do it instead of trying to DIY it.

That answers the only question I had about this. You still get full access to every app you need, it just increases the friction (via the low refresh rate and the lack of colors) so you can't doomscroll.

Unfortunately, it does not list Bluetooth among its many wireless features, so I don't think I'd be able to use it. Not having music or podcasts in the car or on a run is a dealbreaker.

Ya, a lot of knowledge is locked away in metadata, how documents are structured, in non-textual representations, or sometimes even just in the head of experts. We definitely want to be more than a shallow access to documents and we're building with that in mind. We're currently working to include more metadata and organizational understanding, with plans to tackle OCR, NL-to-SQL, code search and knowledge graphs in the future. While we don't have concrete dates for all of these, hopefully this gives some visibility into our vision at least!

So, I have a kind of dumb question.

As someone born after C and its derivatives took over the world, Forth has always been this "weird cool old language". It seems like Forth was this very beloved language by a small set of enthusiasts, but I'm not entirely sure why.

I also cannot quite tell if it's a high-level or low-level language, though maybe that's the point? It definitely seems like it might be worth learning for the retro computing development world. Is my understanding correct?

Coincidentally, I personally noticed an uptick in general negative press toward EVs in 2023. Lots of articles and news stories along the lines of “people are rejecting the electric vehicle pipedream” and “things don’t look so rosy for EV automakers”. I’m not sure if I simply noticed it more because I bought an EV at the end of 2022, or if there actually was an uptick in negativity.

Disclaimer, I’m biased as an EV owner and I generally like them.

About me: I am a dynamic and results-oriented Machine Learning enthusiast with a proven track record of academic excellence and practical expertise. Currently pursuing an M.S. in ECE at the University of Washington (UW), specializing in Machine Learning.

I possess significant experience in developing deep learning models tailored for autonomous vehicles, with a current focus on fine-tuning LLMs for deployment on edge devices. While my expertise is well-established in the autonomous vehicle domain, I am enthusiastic about exploring opportunities that extend beyond this sector. I am keen to leverage my deep learning proficiency in various industries where advanced architectures play a pivotal role.

I am eager to learn new technologies and techniques, and to contribute to the advancement of AI. I am currently seeking FTE opportunities as a Machine Learning/Deep Learning Engineer starting June 2024. If you have open positions and believe that my expertise aligns with your team's needs, please feel free to reach out.

I’m saying that it isn’t logically that Apple is keeping PWAs from becoming more popular because today most of the revenue wouldn’t leave the App Store because it comes from pay to win games.

On the other hand I’m saying today Android developers could move from Google Play and not have to pay the “Google tax”. But they don’t. Why not?

Also if it is only Apple holding PWAs back, then why aren’t PWAs a popular way to escape the “Google tax”?

It must be that Android developers think 30% is worth it.

Absolutely true, which is why I emphasized "intensive management on a small scale". This is rather unlike current forest governance schemes which are mostly "industrial management on a large scale".

Honestly, to do this right, you'd need a huge cultural shift towards living and working in a rural forest, along with direct local control and long-term strategic management. Which describes some forest-dwelling cultures of the past but very few today.

I'm not sure if it is true. Google fired James Damore for his internal memo titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber". Google employees thought that military was unconditionally evil and would rather giving up a 10 billion dollar contract (I really wish send those employees back to the Euro-Asia of the end of 12th century to taste the "peace" without a strong military when facing the shamshirs of the Mongolian soldiers).

It's bewildering to me that you're the weird, odd one for doing this.
Enormous cognitive dissonance. Employees believing they are "organising information" or some other lofty, idealistic goal, when they are actually preparing _bait_ to lure in ad targets. The end goal is not organised info or some other benign purpose, it's surveillance, data collection and sales of advertising services, exactly what people expressly dislike. People do not pay for the organised info; the info is public, it does not belong to Google. Maybe employees think, "I am not working on advertising so I'm not contributing to the problem". If an employee at the advertising company is told by their manager to support the surveillance, data collection or advertising effort in some way, directly or indrectly, the employee does not say, "Sorry, I cannot do that because I am opposed to advertising." Today, Google literally takes money from people in return for not harassing them with ads. They call these "subscriptions". Create the problem and then sell the solution. Incredible,

An intuitive explaination is imagine a nearly diagonal matrix where the values along the diagonal are much larger than values on the off diagonal. We know the eigenvalues of a diagonal matrix is simply the values on the diagonal, so for nearly diagonal matrices you can be pretty sure that the true eigenvalues are going to be pretty close to those diagonal entries, but a natural question to ask is how far we'd deviate from those diagonal entries.

The answer to the above question is Gerschgorin disks and it's closely related cousin Brauer's Oval of Cassini.

For matrices with real eigenvalues it's moreso along the real number line, only for cases where the eigenvalues are imaginary do we imagine disks.

> Nobody cares that MacOS renders half its content using WebKit on Mac. Same goes for iOS - people do care that they can't use a PWA in their browser of choice.

What does it mean to "use a PWA in their browser"? That's the opposite of what the PWA experience is supposed to be. You're not supposed to be aware you're in a browser -- and "people" defined as normals, not HN users, do are not.

The "reasonability" of my view about what consumers care about is informed by building both enterprise and mass market web, and later app, products since the 90s, helping countless clients study their users' actual preferences in depth.

Our, and well known, studies show the "man on the street" has zero comprehension of what a browser engine is much less how a PWA or even Electron works. In general, their priority is everything just working and tech being out of their way.

HN is among the least representative forums for recognizing "normal" user interests I've seen, almost to the point of parody.
