Not sure if I explained it well. The difference between tú/vosotros y usted/ustedes is the former is informal while the latter is more formal, showing extra respect for the interlocutor. Usted/ustedes uses the same verbal forms as he/she/they, instead of the ones for "you".

The oddity is that this use of "ustedes" (only in plural, not for "usted") uses the verbal form for "you all" instead of the verbal form for "they", so it's weird for people from other parts of the country.

As for the use of "usted" in general, it's declining, specially in urban areas.
Unfortunately you're spreading truth mixed with disinformation.

Ask HN: Recommendations for a self hosted, open source, startup simulator
I am planning a startup workshop for a group of undergraduate students. I was looking for a startup simulation tool that could be used to engage them through participation. Ideally, something which provides a competitive environment for multiple startup teams.

Examples are like these:
https://www.bacu.me/business_simulator/index.html
https://mitsloan.mit.edu/teaching-resources-library/management-simulations
http://thefounder.biz/play/

It would need to be self hosted to allow access within a local college lab and open source to allow local flavors to be introduced.

Thanks!
Johns Hopkins has plenty of great research:

“Funding for programs that clean and rehabilitate blighted and abandoned property are associated with both decreases in gun violence of up to 39% over one year and improved community health.”
https://publichealth.jhu.edu/center-for-gun-violence-solutio...

To be fair after checking SoundThinking’s website they do have some research showing similar levels of violence reduction, so I don’t think it’s fair to outright claim one is more effective on a per-dollar basis without knowing all the associated costs. However surveillance is a reactive solution (or a deterrent if you’re really on board with a police state), whereas community-based programs are preventative.

I can see there being room for both but any public surveillance on that level has to have serious public accountability.
Two things that I believe would dramatically reform policing in the US.

- Eliminate qualified immunity so it’s not the default guiding principle to police interactions

- Find ways to identify and weed out the bully personality types that find themselves drawn into the vocation. Zero tolerance policies that immediately eliminate officers who engage in that type of behavior and tactics.
>the cops legitimately thought someone was shooting at them

But cops always "legitimately" think someone is shooting at them. Have you heard of the acorn incident?
Easy: it would make the desert a little bit less inhospitable, and it would make the average person a little bit less in shame of the environmental havoc they cause. Both things would beget more humans on the planet, which would be bad for the (the part of the) environment (not directly connected to humans).
It's okay. This is a product you can acquire off the shelf. And has several competitors.
> In software, we drew mostly experienced people from other companies and very few people straight out of school. Even the ones we took out of school generally had lots of job experience. In fact, one time I surveyed the applications group and found an average of nine years' work experience in software. When we looked at resumes, we tried to find people with several years of experience in development. We made exceptions if someone had specialized in something we were interested in or was a top student who also had good summer experience. We wanted an experienced team because what we've been doing is a very major software effort. It's very complex, and there's such a large body of software to crank out and make reliable that it takes experienced people.

The remarks about team-building were very interesting too.
Knowing "the considerations of what makes a simple loop fast or not" is irrelevant to solving a computational problem. We as programmers should not need to worry about details of the hardware or toolchain (e.g. compiler) we're using.

Granted, the reality is that most people are doing the equivalent of digital plumbing, not necessarily solving computational problems.
> Before writing compilers, I think it's best to understand computer architectures, and what needs to be generated by the compiler to yield the most efficient machine code.

In my opinion one of the biggest industry advancements we have had is that compilers are now available without such level of low-level detail.
There is still so much work to be done on a compiler level that really shouldn't concern themselves with the (micro)-architectural level of computers.
Seems very down-talking and full of itself, but the gist is that Apple
will apply even more scrutiny to "alternative apps" within the already
mandatory "Apple Developer Program".

While begrudgingly allowing "alternative apps", Apple will still
decide whether they are 'good for you' in every conceivable regard.

Interesting repeated emphasis on "physical harm".

Maybe it's nice that Apple provide a refuge for the technologically
bewildered and stand themselves up as moral guardians. However, my
objection is that they deliberately muddy the water by conflating
privacy, safety and security.

What Apple is actually offering is explicitly none of these things.
It is providing protection (and uses this word interchangeably with
all of the above throughout the document)

They are not the same. Confusing security with protection violates
what I call "Ensler security" (see Security is Love [0]). Without the
condition of self-determination "protection" becomes the foundation
for abuse.

Ask HN: What do you think about EUPL in comparison to other copyleft licences?
How do people here think about the EUPL, especially when compared to licenses like GPL, LGPL, AGPL, MPL,...?

https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/eupl-text-eupl-12

I saw e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37160740 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14053129 but they don't contain discussions.

I like that:

1. I can read it in my native legalese and not just the English one.

2. That it is fully translated into 23 languages (and not in a "this-is-not-the-real-legal-text" way), but each is binding.

3. That it was created for the jurisdiction where I live, and not just for the US judicial system.

4. That linking to my program does not force the other program to use my licence, but using my code enforces that product to use a copyleft licence.

I depend on the security of many systems. If I want to test the security of those systems myself, with the intent to report problems I find, I will be arrested and thrown in jail.

Why are we sacrificing national security for the convenience of companies?

We should have strong legal protections for security researchers. Anyone who attacks a system with the intent of causing minimal harm and reporting what they find should be protected. We could also create a government agency whose job it is to continually try to break into these systems we depend on, a national red team.

The only downside is it will inconvenience and embarrass many companies. We might also find that the majority of our companies and institutions are incapable of creating secure systems, and that will be a hard political reality to deal with. But this is literally a matter of national security.

The bad guys will not be stopped by laws, but maybe the good guys can still win if we don't hamper the good guys with bad laws.

BYD's Explorer No.1 Arrives with 3k EVs in Germany, Transforming Auto Market
I have been programming since I was 11 years old and I've been professionally programming in various languages and domains for roughly 15 years, yet I had to Google what a functor was.

Your attack on systems programmers holding specific knowledge as holy while pointing to their ignorance about another bit of knowledge you consider more relevant seems kind of ironic to me.
I think there is the implication that any idiot can do it now and there has been an explosion in proliferation as the new tech has lowered the barriers to producing content.
People even build and use monads with no understanding of the background behind it.

And then they miss the common pattern between them, so they miss the opportunity for abstraction and a common interface over the pattern. That’s the whole point of category theory: recognizing large classes (in the mathematical sense) of objects by their universal properties. It’s useful in programming language design because it gives you the ability to build useful, generic, water-tight abstractions.

A lot of abstractions built without any regard to the mathematics behind them wind up being leaky and difficult to apply appropriately because they rely on vague intuitions rather than simple mathematical properties.
The GDPR comment perhaps is indicative of this out of all. GDPR enforcement has been small, ineffective and nowhere close to "every kind of violation gets an expensive lawsuit attached". It's as if this is meta-commentary.

Those heuristics are about "when" to apply certain transformations in a situation when two options are already proven equivalent. That is different from transforming correct code into possibly incorrect code.
There was a recent post about restoring a different Motorola 68k machine, an early 80's $25,000 HP Series 200 9836C.

https://hackaday.com/2023/06/20/repairing-a-25000-hp-worksta...

People forget how ruinously expensive RAM was in the early 80's, and that HP machine had a very large amount for the time.
It's not too far off. Vid2vid is already decent at keeping character consistency when configured correctly, background/environment flickering is hard to control but since the process is currently done using img2img on successive frames that makes sense. I think we'll see new models that do temporal convolution soon that will make video -> video transformations absolutely stunning.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be an isolated incident in the corporate world. There's been a few caught that made the news, but probably more that haven't.
Sure. The typical path I see is that kids fail to lock in with a high level state school and either need to go private (assuming they get in) or out of state (which will welcome you because you’re paying 50% more). This happened with one of my kids and it has cost me upwards of $60-70K at a minimum to go out of state.

Another path I see are kids who just opt out entirely. They go to that 5th or 6th tier school and are totally unmotivated. This doesn’t hit them early but it will have a long term impact on job prospects and their career arc. This one is actually becoming more common from what I hear.

To me, the real disconnect is happening in high school here in the US where we are still educating kids like it is 1950 (or 1850). Teachers are overworked and underpaid, and the administration is apathetic. All of that can easily combine for a couple of poor grades or missed expectations in extracurricular activities which in turn cut your opportunities when you apply for college. Sounds extreme but that is how it is today and it is why so many parents are overprotective to the point of being manic.

I thought the lookup would just be a byte tree not a hash. Wouldn't a hash with it's calculation beat the purpose of being faster than parsing a number?

The idea would be, you have a tree of all values of 0.0 to 99.9 and then just use the bytes to iterate the tree (e.g. in an array) to come up with the int value of e.g. 45.5
Your right, it's possibly even worse, they want to "argue" depression, completely ignoring the op's statement "I'm not depressed."

Many people here have a strong case of "I know better than you, I'm going to ignore your request and tell you how it really is."

They literally tell this young person "Get over it... No one really cares that much." How dare they. Vile and disgusting thing to say to someone. You have no idea what the poster has been through.

The incredible definition of depression used? "It can manifest in anger and outbursts, fits of despair, doom and gloom, etc." Not particularly authoritative. Post a link to the Mayo clinic or whatever. But you're right, arguing depression isn't the biggest problem with that post; just the first.

Opt out is not consent.

The big one mentioned by the author is that Windows tends to get continual user interface refreshes. Desktop environments are much the same, though some change at a much slower pace. I think the absence of change is a good thing since it allows me to devote time to learning new skills rather than relearning old ones.

I also appreciate environments like i3 have less visual clutter. If you were to look at my desktop, you would see precisely six things on it: the application windows, the current time, the battery status, the network status, a list of virtual desktops, and a toggle to disable the screensaver. There is nothing to pull my focus away from the task at hand, not even in the background.

Of course, I also have a laundry list of other quality of life features. Most of those features would be pointless to point out since they would be irrelevant to most people. (To give one example of what I mean: configuration is done through a simple collection of text files, so it is easy to carry my configuration from one account to another. This isn't so much a benefit of tiling window managers, since it is true of most window managers. It is better described as a drawback of complex desktop environments.)

Part of the problem is drugs in the US are so expensive and hard to obtain. Where I live I receive a cancer drug for free, but the one time it was not available, I just went and bought the month's supply from the pharmacy for $1300. In the states that same drug would cost me $14,000, and of course I couldn't just buy it OTC. BTW the drug is manufactured in the US.

If you are installing rogue code then you will have a bad time.

Modules/themes on drupal.org which show "Stable releases for this project are covered by the security advisory policy" are written by trusted users. There is no other protection from rogue code because they are inherently able to access the database. It utterly doesn't matter what extension points the code supports and how because of that. In very broad strokes, if you are using any CMS which a) accesses a database b) allows installing additional code and it runs that in the same process as the CMS code accessing the database -- then you are vulnerable to rogue code. Like, a headless CMS where the frontend only talks to it via an API is protected from rogue code in the frontend part but that's about it.

This means the Drupal ecosystem is vulnerable to a supply chain attack, yes but ... um ... that doesn't make Drupal design insecure, does it?

Oh, I'm not so sure. Check out the Japanese guy at the link I posted. The Japanese equivalent of the FBI were searching for him like crazy -- his "Wanted" poster was seriously in every subway station across the nation -- and he managed to get away with it. Many such cases. There are lots of wanted men on the Interpol red list, and "state backed intelligence agencies" are actively searching for many of them. Some of them have been on the list for many years.

Intel agencies aren't magic, and they're not omniscient. If you're careful, the best tool they have is facial recognition, like Clearview, but that has yet to reach its full dystopian potential.

In OP, you've got a famous Russian defector who retired to a Russian resort town on the Spanish coast. A very boneheaded move, that; ofc he was going to get caught.

Sure, but check back in on them in 30 years and see how well their bodies work. Tradework pays very well these days but you can’t avoid the physical toll.
Wow you did a great job cherry-picking from that article. Notice how the survey mentioned “police”, not covert surveillance.

People want more, better-trained police, not a third party listening in and directing police resources based on biased data, proprietary algorithms, and human analysts with dubious training and no public accountability.

All you’re telling me is that you lack human empathy and aren't interested in understanding the systemic causes of violence.
Yeah, for short close distances sound camera of phase difference of arrival localization is interesting.

I did wonder about finding mice. I connected an ultra-sonic microphone once and saw lots of squeaks that were probably mice. I suspect the accuracy is sufficient.
That may depend on the context and data but you may end the first job at T+28 (runtime of 28 hours) and the second at T+52 (28 hours as well, started at T+24).

If jobs must be executed one after another, then you absolutely create an infinite backlog.
Sadly a lot of us don't have time to read multiple books at the same time to get the knowledge we don't gravely need in the first place.

Kind of. The mayor said he was shutting it down for not being effective. And then he went and renewed the contract until just after the DNC convention: https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2024/02/22/shotspotte...

My read is that they know it does work but they don’t want to continue to use it because statistically the “wrong” people are committing the crimes it’s tipping off.
I love Laurie Anderson. The wife used to be afraid of her, ha ha.

When we saw her put on a show with some material she was working on it didn't seem to make my wife (girlfriend then) feel any warmer toward her. But after the show Laurie sat on the edge of the stage and just chatted with the audience and my wife saw the "non performer" side of her and she was no longer scary.

Other than the delusion that others are (commonly) doing much better you're fine!

Your sense of crisis is motivational and good for you.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't take it easy. Don't stop worrying about preparing for your next opportunity. Don't stop wondering what the next right move may be.

Yep, same here in Canada. My mother was a teacher and my father a sometimes-unemployed machinist, so on the upper side of working class, really, and big exciting family expenditures in the early & mid 80s were things like a microwave or a dishwasher which we could afford maybe once a year at tax return time. It was a big expenditure for them to get me the VIC-20, which I ran off an older B&W 9" TV. Saved my own allowance money & money from bottle recycle returns to get a used Atari 520ST in 1987.

They had a single Macintosh at the school, which I sometimes got to play with. Even the Apple II was priced out of the "home" market possibilities. Family friends had one, but it was like a luxury product like their hi-fi system or boats.

Maybe the US was a different story. But here a Mac was way out of the reach out of people on a typical income.

Also people didn't typically take on debt like they do now. Interest rates were double-digits.

To be honest I've not approached the material in a few years. Can you pinpoint which areas are wrong?
Nodemailer author here. I now publish all my libraries/tools (like Nodemailer) under some permissive license (MIT, MIT-0, ISC). This gives the opportunity to use such a library without issues, and the end user never knows about these tools anyway. For example if I build a OSS software and commercial software that both use such library, then it is easier to manage it under permissive license - I don't want copyleft licenses turning up in my commercial software even if I'm the owner.

For OSS applications, I use EUPL (eg. https://wildduck.email/) or AGPL copyleft licenses. The license does not stop anyone using it as an application, but at the same time people are not free to copy, rename and sell it either.
It really doesn’t. It comes at the expense of a rounding error in Apple’s annual profits.
