Pay better, open up more slots for tenure instead of forcing all work to adjuncts, and spend more on research. If universities are supposed to be distinctive for their research, their highest paid employees should not be football coaches.
It’s also wrong. “Nostalgia” is not the pain of an old wound, but homesickness, the pain of longing to return home. Nostos, or “homecoming,” is a major theme in Greek poetry like the Odyssey.

Enterprise edition, maybe? The keyboard itself does not seem to have a privacy policy ("about" shows intellectual properties and open source licenses), but the voice-input has. Third-party options are disabled by default.

But even with everything disabled (predictive text, spell checker (as may be obvious reading this), ...), it does cause network traffic.

Every time I tried to add an API to a Django project by using DRF, I was surprised by the sheer complexity it introduced to get basic things working.

I don't mich like the strict and inflexible DRF approach.

But great that they keep continuing supporting the framework for the people that like and use it. Or just use it.
Does anyone else find it implausible that Apple will offload things like the CPU to the external battery pack like claimed here? The R1 chip surely has to stay on the headset to keep their 12 ms latency, and wouldn't there be a similar issue with moving the CPU away and having to serialize a bunch of data back and forth? Presumably for many AR applications, it's important to have similarly low latency to the CPU. I'm really curious if people with this.

More likely they will reduce the weight by release a non-pro version without features that most people don't really need (like the external screen).

On the other hand, I think the author is overly pessimistic in thinking that no VR headset will be able to replace his dual 6k monitors. In the long term, aren't we headed for VR with the equivalent of a retina display?
I usually see this style from people with a mathematics or physics background instead of CS. Their coding style doesn't take maintainability or collaboration with others into account. And these programmers therefore produce code which no one else is able to change when they inevitably leave the company after some technical strategic direction change happens which they disagree with. Allowing them to dictate your coding standards is putting your company at risk. If getting them to confirm to (tooling automated linter) coding standards is impossible I'd personally isolate their code to specific packages with clearly defined interfaces so you have some hope of replacing it after their departure. Make a working agreement with them that coding standards apply to any PRs outside of their pet projects or they'll get rejected.
Of course. Theory of computation and formal logic are two examples of math built on top of Cantor. And theory of computation has one or two real-world applications or so I've heard :)
Windows installer images have some files too large for most tools to understand and also I believe the USB stick needs to be exFAT formatted too. Virtually any tool for making a USB stick would fail in various ways on macOS.

Did they actually test for this, though? It should be possible to find matching idioms in two languages and then ask the LLM to translate the idiom between those languages. It would be good for the claim if it would be unable to perform the task.

This started in 2016 when SK installed THAAD systems against North Korea [0], which had extended radar capabilities into the Chinese mainland, though rumblings already began by 2014-15 leading to SK creating a (imo one sided) FTA with Vietnam

This lead to a massive trade war against SK, which almost destroyed Lotte (the chaebol who's land was purchased by the Korean government to install the THAAD system).

Lotte and other Korean chaebols began a MASSIVE decoupling to Vietnam and India during that time period, and are are single-handedly responsible for Vietnam's then surprisingly high GDP growth rate.

Everything, and I mean everything, is basically Chaebol owned in Vietnam because of this pivot from China, and just about every Korean company has plans to have the ability to cease operations in China by 2030 at the latest based on my conversations in Saigon.

Japanese corporations did the same thing in 2012 during the Senkaku Diaoyu Standoff leading to a massive repivoting to India and Thailand, and initiating the Quad and the Blue Dot Network.

The differences you speak about arise due to the nature of their design. PHP was created for the web whereas web programming support in python wasn't part of the language design. When you speak about web programming in python, the seam between the language and the web is usually a wsgi/agsi layer. This is where all the things you mentioned come into play. There's a whole lot of benefit imo to using python over php beyond that seam.

You said this:

> Nobody wants to steal your stuff if they can have what you have anyway.

That is blatantly false. People don't steal cars since they want cars, they steal cars to sell them. They step on others to get ahead, usually those poorer than themselves.

Your comment doesn't make any sense in this thread. Why are you talking about Canada or ideals? You can't eliminate poverty without eliminating crime, since crime causes poverty, people steal a workers car now he is poor since he spent so much to get it, the car is usually the most valuable thing a person has.

For me, the psychic angst of using Windows is much, much worse than any Mac-related inconvenience.
This is why Star Trek uses "subspace" as a plot handwavium[1] to explain how a starship can hail Earth from hundreds of lightyears away with seemingly no latency.

I'd ask differently - is there any reason to believe Tesla will become of the top provider of self driving software after years of lies, misleading and over promising? What exactly could be automated and do we really want it?
How would you automate having a conversation with a driver when there is none? By employing some bs conversation bot? I don't feel like I'd enjoy it or want to use it at all. And, more importantly - where would the money go from using such service? To another "huge corporation" that already have shitloads of money? I'd rather use a human driven car knowing that driver gets payed instead of throwing money into black hole in foreign country.
Seems so idiotic that you're not allowed to receive maritime traffic in Germany (item #49).

What’s the financial incentive in that? Manufacturers ideally want you to buy a whole new device every year, they don’t want you repairing or extending the life.

I wonder what if someone could reproduce this kind of ancient high-tech using modern precision production technologies and durable materials. Could we build those huge size low density hard drives and other components with orders of magnitude higher quality so they would last forever and never need anything replaced?
First of all, I think the .eh_frame unwinding y'all pioneered is great.

But I think you're only thinking about CPU profiling at <= 100 Hz / core. However, Brendan's article is also talking about Off-CPU profiling, and as far as I can tell, all known techniques (scheduler tracing, wall clock sampling) require stack unwinding to occur 1-3 orders of magnitude more often than for CPU profiling.

For those use cases, I don't think .eh_frame unwinding will be good enough, at least not for continuous profiling. E.g. see [1][2] for an example of how frame pointer unwinding allowed the Go runtime to lower execution tracing overhead from 10-20% to 1-2%, even so it was already using a relatively fast lookup table approach.

I thought he summarised it pretty well. Jeff Atwood was only picked as example. But there are LOTS of high profile, huge followers web developments thought leaders constantly pump out similar views. And a lot of their followers just blindly accept what they were told.
It's odd that foreign media reporting the Indonesian government plan to move the seat of government from Jakarta to Borneo as primarily motivated by the sinking of Jakarta (it affects the northern part of Jakarta, while the goverment is mostly operating in Central Jakarta), while the other more important (to the government) reasons are usually under-reported, such as to reduce the java-centric development, improving the government's efficiency by moving various government agency closer together instead of scattering everywhere over the huge megacity with traffic jams everywhere, and improving the government image because foreign diplomats will arrive in a pristine, green city instead of concrete jungle with bad air and traffic jams everywhere.
Isn’t that quite huge number to be fair?
Interesting. I've been very interested lately in autonomous mapping and localization. It looks like many of the base implementation problems have been solved in a way that is extensible enough that I'll be able to use the solutions.
Would be more willing to be a guinea pig if there is more info on what will be removed. There are bloats in my Samsung phone but there are also useful features unique to it that I wanna keep (eg DEX), or things that if removed may break the phone in some nuanced ways.

For some illogical reason I never had a problem with sending messages across such vast distances, but when the Enterprise detected another ship starting its engines from a light year away my suspension of disbelief collapsed.
Strictness should not be optional. A lot of typescript projects don't use all the features. I've been on projects where people were just working around those features to do all the crazy hacks javascript is famous for; or to be able to use libraries that use those hacks. It's a constant fight to push back that madness. With Kotlin, that's just much less of a concern. Having a language that just says no to all of that is valuable. IMHO typescript could just remove the option to turn off the strict mode and always be strict. It would be a better language. It's impractical of course because a lot of stuff would break. That's the problem with it. Don't get me wrong, I've actually used typescript and don't mind it. But I prefer kotlin.

I do indeed do a lot in Kotlin-js rather than using javascript libraries. We make a few exceptions for libraries like map-libre for which we have a very thin hand crafted Kotlin facade. Things like react we simply don't use at all (we use a pure kotlin framework called fritz2). We actually use a lot of Kotlin multi platform libraries as well. And even some wasm libraries (e.g. sqlite). Most of the foreign code dependencies in our codebase are not javascript libaries.
"Always" is doing a lot of work here. Github Apps are relatively new.
"we cannot confirm that no other such instances occurred". I'd like to understand this more. Do they 1. not have a fingerprint of what the exploit looked like because it was indistinguishable from customer behavior? 2. Not have logging necessary to audit this? Regardless, with the added monitoring to detect suspicious activity, do they also have the logging to see everything a bad actor did if there is a new exploit?
I have the opposite sentiment. Most important are relations to me. everytime you decline an event, you drift one step away from a person or a group.

However, you can decide that people are not important and cut them out all together. But if you decide that someone is important you can't pick and choose.

These terms regained popularity due to Cantor's work. The potential infinite, is a very old idea for a process that never terminates. Like counting, you can always find a bigger natural number, by addition.
Thus, the natural numbers are potentially infinite, because they grow forever, but it will never be finished.

However, Cantor popularized another notion of infinity, namely that you can treat the ever growing natural numbers as one finished big bag and started doing math with this "object". Cantor's theory requires that infinity actually exists, as a finished object. Then he starts doing interesting stuff, as in measuring how many things are in the bag, even though the bag technically grows without ever stopping.

I liked Perl for text parsing and that kind of work.. Used it professionally for about 3 years.

Two things i didn't like about it which i still don't

1. It's a conceptually huge language. There are several things to learn to be effective or you fall into the problem when the 10% that you use is different from the 10% that your teammates use. I found python attractive because of this.

2. I disliked Walls book. It was long winded and very hard to sit down with when I wanted to find something. I expected something like K&R but found it tedious and boring.

As someone who has used DRF in many projects over a decade, I 100% agree. In my current project I’m using django-ninja which gives me the power of the Django ecosystem and ORM with the simplicity of FastAPI. This is the way.

Given the importance of Boeing as a US national champion, it simply will not be allowed to fail. This type of permanent assurance might be root cause of the decline of the organisation.
Agree that the picture is worth a 1000 words, but per kingkongjaffa, one is a squeezy bottle while the other is a robust tin.

My dad used to have dozens of the tins in his shed, each holding a collection of screws, washers, resistors, capacitors, bolts etc 'that will come in useful one day'. I still can't see the tins without thinking of his re-use collections. That's my biggest gripe with the new container: it's a single-use throw-away plastic thing. The traditionalist press in the UK is also upset by the new image: stylised logo, compared with a 'proper' picture of a sleepy lion surrounded by bees.
Some people's willingness to eat any shit the food instrustry puts out, proudly even, and their inability to appreciate wholesome foods to save their lives. You know, the kind of things that make the average Italian think of the US as a dietary backwater.

I can understand laughing at the face of cancer by doing something enjoyable like smoking and drinking (even approve it).

But replacing real food with bland synthetic BS just to increase food industry profits? Since you forego of arugments and any personal opinion and went for pop psychology, let me have a jab at it too: I guess a lot of people are more afraid not to look modern enough, that they will be called out as Luddites if they eat a real steak instead of Soylent Green?
Show HN: A web app to split PDF into Color and Grayscale pages
Hey everyone , I'm Vishal and I'm very excited to reveal Splitto to you guys today. It is a one-of-a-kind PDF tool that allows you to effortlessly separate Color & Grayscale pages.

How did it start ?
While submitting my assignments I often had to separate the color & grayscale pages before sending it for print. As grayscale printers are often laser-based which is fast and cost-effective, there was no point printing the entire document from a color printer. But with the PDF tools available online, the process was still very tedious especially when the PDF has a lot of pages. So I decided to make one myself.

How it works ?
Splitto separates your PDF pages by rendering and scanning every single pixel on each page to determine whether that page should be called color or grayscale. This entire process happens on-device which means none of your file contents are sent or stored on the servers. Once the process is finished you can either download both color & grayscale PDFs or simply copy the page numbers & paste them in the print dialog.

How to use it ?
Splitto has a very minimal UI on purpose to reduce any friction or distraction during your workflow. Just select your PDF & hit the split button & that's it. In a matter of seconds, Splitto will process the output.

Yes, who's going to keep inviting someone who always declines?
A potentially infinite universe is also potentially finite? I.E. There is not sufficient evidence to determine that it is infinite since we are only able to make observations of a finite distance?
Ye that is true.

As I see it the problem is with the phone manufacturers, only supporting Google.

Also, there is this problem with banks requiring signed OS:es for their silly app "security".

Well, spoilers, but…

The entire premise of the scene is a lie. The family life Don portrays in the photos is an illusion that is rapidly falling apart at that point in the show. That’s kind of the major theme of MM - the illusions of advertising and of life in general.

I’m fairly certain that the writers were well aware of the word’s etymology, but wrote Don’s dialogue to emphasize the artificiality of it.
Even if you do use a standard browser, companies will force you to use an app by making there website broken (on purpose?).

Random recent example: Nike. Popping useless errors upon checkout in the webshop. Support: "oh, we're so sorry, just try the app, k bye".

Another example of major companies with broken websites more often than not: (European) airline booking websites.

And major companies think this is totally fine and doesn't damage their brand? I mean not being able to create a functioning website with unlimited funds in 2024 is not a bad look?!
Not exactly. It's mostly because of the aftermath of the anti-Korea boycott that happened from 2016-Present along with the slowdown due to COVID.

That boycott almost pushed South Korea into recession and made them pivot to Vietnam, and Lotte was functionally banned in China.
You can just do this with Flask or other frameworks/servers that support auto-restart

The services compared aren't really equivalents - Cloudflare Workers is more like Lambda@Edge, in particular I just can't imagine a reason you'd need it for the NN training/video processing/the background job type tasks it mentioned; and Google Cloud Run I'm less familiar with, but isn't it more like AppRunner or Fargate?
I certainly appreceate the sentiment behind this, but I'm not sure that opting out of all group activities is going to work all that well for the overall team.

Yeah, standup is a tax, but it's also a little bit important to see and be seen, and to know what is going on (unless you can convince your whole team to adopt this work style)

Yep. South Korea and China have been in the midst of a trade war since 2016.
One issue is the limited support for resident keys on many hardware tokens. IIRC the limit on recent YubiKey 5 firmware versions is 25 resident keys. As Passkey adoption accelerates, people will hit that limit rather quickly.

Also the UI around managing resident keys is not great and uncoupled from where they are typically used (the browser).

Finally, only a tiny part of the population uses dedicated hardware tokens, whereas pretty much all popular password managers supports or will support Passkeys (Apple Keychain, 1Password, whatever the Chrome password manager is called, Samsung Pass, etc.).

So, it’s not surprising that hardware tokens are tested less these days.

(I don’t think that is a good, just trying to speculate on the reasons.)
