Yes, that's definitely something that needs to be more common and standardized (looking at you, Logitech)

On the "works everywhere", it's a weird beast. Programmable keyboards will work on any machine without any configuration, while software remapping will work on any keyboard, even the cheapest IR dongle keyboard you'll buy in a pinch during a trip.

IMO it comes down to which one you switch more often, the machine or the keyboard.
Maybe one of the few upsides of this tech is the customizability.
Sure, you can get a prefab house built in a week or less if you try, but it's going to be constrained by the prefab shape and layout, even with modular blocks there are still design constraints, like with https://www.wikihouse.cc.

As seen in other environments, 3D printing lets anyone design and build for their own use case. People are not all about practicality, they want to like their environment too and being able to bring up your house exactly the way you like it is great.
There is nothing inherently special about ThrottleStop and MSI Afterburner, these are merely (proprietary) Windows-specific utilities for changing the behavior of your hardware.

Running these programs on Linux would not make sense because their only purpose is to twist knobs in the Windows OS. Linux has different knobs so their functions do not apply.

Thus your restriction is self-imposed more than anything, you are effectively saying "the only thing stopping me from switching to Linux is that it's not Windows."

Between your BIOS settings and programs like cpufrequtils and CoreCtrl there are equivalents to those programs, but interacting with hardware is platform-specific. You may have to learn different programs because Linux abstracts access to your hardware differently, thus your preferred Windows-specific utilities will not have any use :D

This is in contrast to productivity applications like Adobe which could reasonably work the exact same way across platforms... if only they were cross-platform at all :(

I was reading your reply and started thinking, this sounds a lot like what I did to do encrypted search with Bloom Filters and indexes. I click on the first link and find the exact website I used when researching and building our encrypted search implementation for a health care startup. It worked fabulously well, but it definitely requires a huge amount of insight into your data (and fine-tuning if your data scales larger than your initial assumptions).

That's awesome that AWS has now rolled it into their SDK. I had to custom build it for our Node.JS implementation running w/ AWS's KMS infrastructure.

For context, Thameslink operates a route through central London, and transitions from overhead power in the north to third-rail in the south. This happens when stopped at stations and is fairly quick - the pantograph/shoes are raised/lowered around the same time as the doors open - the dwell times seem the same as usual.

As for charging, Jago Hazzard has a video on a fast-charge trial[1] for a battery-only route. As it's using a modified tube train, I'd assume it's lighter and thus requires smaller batteries, but recharging from third-rail takes roughly 4 minutes.

What a weird bone to pick. You could say “would support for other platforms be on the horizon?” but instead you take it almost maliciously. This take is very compatible with what I’ve read about why people stop writing Linux commercial software: 95% of the support, 2% of the sales.

If it’s open and you want to create Linux / windows support, just do that versus complain that the creator of a $200 small scale device hasn’t.
I think it's a bit like PG Wodehouse. The world of Bertie Wooster or Clarence Threepwood, 9th Earl of Emsworth is certainly an idyll; at the same time no one would pretend it is a classless idyll.

Tolkien would not refer to that class structure as "economic exploitation" - that is part of his politics. That does not mean he did not understand that society very well, and seek to portray it in an idealized form.
Bit of a confusing typo there with 2.7 trillion instead of billion, but should check out.
The other guy that said this has been downvoted because Hacker News for whatever reason seems to be out of the loop on how this works, but buying illegal drugs on the Internet is a perfectly valid answer. It's more or less the most accepted way short of a corrupt physician writing bullshit prescriptions of getting steroids and any other performance enhancing drug for athletes. And it's far safer and more effective to do this on the Internet than from some "locally known" source that transacts in cash. Sources on the Internet are illegal but otherwise entirely legitimate businesses. There are large web communities of people who buy and review their products. There are trusted third-party labs that do chemical analysis to prove the purity of a product, and reputable sources advertise that they will and, in fact, actually do reimburse purchasers who randomly send samples to these labs and post the results publicly on known review forums.

The fact that the non-athlete universe seems entirely unaware of this quite well-functioning parallel economy does not mean it doesn't exist.

> It doesn’t

Saying "no" doesn't magically remove your contradiction. E cores didn't exist in laptop/PC/server CPUs before 2022 and using HT was a decent way to increase capacity to handle many (e.g. IO) threads without expensive context switches. I'm not saying E cores are a bad solution, but somehow you're trying to erase historical context of HT (or more likely just sloppy writing which you don't want to admit).
It’s certainly possible that there’s a valid oversight here, but Salesforce has a rather talented security team, and the company truly lives by “Trust is our #1 value”^1

I can’t speak for the implementation, but my guess is that it’s been very thoroughly vetted by both internal security and external pen tests. They wouldn’t market a high profile security feature without that.

> It's just a part of the human condition, sadly, to hate others based on the smallest of differences.

Part of me wants to agree with you, but you're using a very broad definition of hate for this to be true. This isn't the visceral hatred of the kid who bullied you all through school stealing your girlfriend in college, getting you framed and expelled from university, and then ending up your boss at the one place you could get a job. Such hatreds have been known to result in murder, after all. They're intense, they burn hot, and if the feeling manifests, a person seems unable to resist acting.

It's the "hate" of making the occasional (once every few years) joke about the village 10 miles down the road, and playing (good natured) pranks on them if/when they show up in your village. Someone else might insist that it's not hatred at all, but something more like "mistrust of strangers" or "self-sequestration". The choice of "hatred" isn't so much linguistically sensible, as it is about staking out a political position. And you just can't do that unless you've characterized this intrinsic human hesitation when dealing with strangers as "hatred". Can't really stand up on the podium and rant about how those other guys are stand-offish and don't make friends quickly.

The late 20th century Swedes weren't raping each other to any great degree. Homogeneity served them well. There wasn't any large degree of arson and assault in Japan in that same period. And while I might agree with you that homogeneity isn't a solution for any of their current problems, zealous heterogeneity of the sorts being pursued today might well be an anti-solution to be avoided.

> rather, fostering awareness and understanding around discrimination is the way forward.

The way forward to what, exactly? When you say things like this, it indicates that you have some vision of the future. I am not party to that vision, I do not know what it is, and no one else has bothered to describe it to me very much. Then, even if I do know this vision (and agree with it, I might not), I have to determine for myself whether or not your methods align with your aims. It might very much not ne the "way forward", you might be going backwards and believing you're going forward.
I had a similar opinion until I worked at a bank. Think of banks as an extension of the government, deputized to monitor all transactions for illegal activity. If banks fail they get in big trouble with the gov’t. Most bank transfers in the US are faster than any blockchain, but this is usually between known corporate entities that do a lot of business. For individuals there’s far more automated scrutiny. In addition, many smaller banks have ancient systems they refuse to upgrade, so overall speed of the banking system is held back by these weak links. Also, US banking oligopoly benefits from slower transactions and higher fees. Europe shows that regulators can force banks to operate faster and cheaper. That’s why this is not a tech issue, it’s a regulatory problem.
They lack the 20 years of mentor led training to do all tasks related to farming and surviving that average medieval adults had. How fast you can do things when you are skilled compared to unskilled is massive, unskilled subsistence farming not being viable isn't strange.
>it's only fair for them to financially award people that responsibly inform them of vulnerabilities instead of easily and anonymously selling those.

Yes, Cox has that choice. But, what you're describing is the definition of extortion. The fact that it's easy for people to get away with it does not make it ethical.
An indenpendent search engine that doesn't track you seems like a good thing to me. Remember, half the nastiness of modern ads is that they track you and are also pretty heavy. In a search engine it's much easier to get the targeting from your search query without tracking you - something eg. DuckDuckGo also does. Helps keep the lights on.
Vaccines don’t prevent infection. Your immune system always takes a while to spin up the adaptive immune system.

What vaccines do is dramatically shorten the time needed for a strong immune response because your body built infrastructure to help fight that specific disease. This tends to dramatically alter what happens afterwards. To the point you may not notice the symptoms or have significant symptoms instead of a hospitalization etc.

Edit: To be more specific B-Memory cells live in bone marrow. So when a virus starts reproducing in your lungs or a cut etc there’s communication lag before those T-Memory cells can do anything during which the virus is reproducing. In the very short term after vaccination the body is tricked into acting like an active infection is going on which causes various symptoms, but even here it’s unlikely to prevent initial infection.
Or maybe the default themes could be optimised more and we would get a big win for everyone!
Not necessarily. The placebo effect is the kind of thing where you might have trouble at first telling if your symptoms are improving or if you’re just having a “good day” or an “easy week”, and that confusion can even last a month or two during which you’re over-observing your internal state and feeling hopeful that “maybe this is what getting better feels like”. But in the long term you often figure it out.

I had a placebo effect recently when switching ADHD medication to get around the shortages. For a couple months I thought there was a chance my new meds might actually be better, they definitely felt different (and still do). But six months in it’s clear to me that I’m struggling with productivity more than I was before I switched (though less than when I was off meds).

I’m just one guy, but I’d guess this is why doctors don’t just prescribe placebos all the time as actual therapies (well, that and they’d lose credibility which would then destroy any remaining placebo effect).

I think I am similar to you - hate complexity, hate shiny things - but, I love Nix because it solves a real problem. That problem being deterministic builds.

It is a common and real problem that builds with "state" cause problems very often for people not even doing complex things.

I think Nix is complex, but because it solves a real, common issue I grin and bear it.
Hi. On your job app, you seem to have a place for "Current location" and then "Where are you located? / What city do you live in?" Are these the same questions? Why are you adding busy work to an application form?

Why is, "If yes, who referred you?" a mandatory question? If someone selects "Nope! I found it on my own!" for the "Were you referred by a TeamSnap Employee?" question, doesn't that cover all the bases?

For "Briefly name the company or companies you acquired this experience," isn't that what a resume covers? If I'm doing this much work, can I just put myself on the payroll, too?

Why so many text-based questions? Do you feel like you're getting honest responses? Especially when applicants cannot even create an account?

"What interests you about working at TeamSnap?" is listed twice. What sort of quality controls does your HR team have in place to ensure that snafus like this are limited, if any?

When was the last time the person who approved this form workflow had to actually find a job?

They speak SPI, but it's a lot slower than SDIO. And there's a lot of work that goes into making an MMC or SD card (or SDHC or SDXC card) into a FAT16 or FAT32 or exFAT filesystem!

If I were doing this project, I'd use an STM32 with its built-in SDIO driver to implement most of the SD card stuff. ST's CubeIDE has easy-to-use filesystem driver that makes this transparent. Use the STM32 to read the card and manage a file for the FPGA to write the bitstream to, then when you plug into USB power, have the STM32 empty this linear file and copy the photos over to BMP images on the SD card. It would be slower, sure, but if you're only using it once a month or once a year, does that really matter? Plug it into USB, go to lunch, and come back to a properly-formatted SDXC card with an exFAT filesystem ready to have the images copied to whatever OS you want to use.
Trying to imagine what it must feel like to have Terence Tao summarize your argument while mentioning that he'd tried something similar but failed.

"The arguments are largely Fourier analytic in nature. The first few steps are standard, and many analytic number theorists, including myself, who have attempted to break the Ingham bound, will recognize them; but they do a number of clever and unexpected maneuvers."
Exactly --- a fly-by of everything in the asteroid belt for example would be a budget-buster --- what is there in the belt which it would be interesting to have photos of?
Ask HN: Where to go from here for more image processing?
I started in photography in 1991 in a third world country. I have been a professional photographer since then. Eventually found myself in an European country. Tried a lot of different paths along the way, considered myself as an artist most of this time. But digital imaging professionally kept me fed. Investigated into programming for a long time. Joined the Processing madness when it first came out, Arduino too, etc. Passed on many opportunities to work in image processing, didn't think it would be so much fun. Have always been an experimental photographer, for sure.

Many years later I was at a job (my last one, as an e-commerce photographer) that gave access to a learning platform. During one low season, I decided to refresh and expand my programming skills and soon enough I was able to get things done in a way I never thought possible, specially after so long.

A lay-off was in my path this time and it was most welcome. Time to think and plan my next steps, it has been great, seriously. I have been using this time to write simple apps. Recently I finished a trio of apps that reflect the experimental photography I have been doing all these years. One deals with mixing color channels, one creates slit scans from videos (which was the hype when Processing came out) and the last one with solarization of images. All things that I practiced first-hand in the analog world or the digital experimental world. It has been really interesting to learn the math of the images.

With these initial apps under my belt, I'm eager to delve deeper into image processing. Any suggestions for inspiring resources or projects?
When I read the page, it was implied that it's not possible to support other platforms or wouldn't be appreciated by the heavy Mac marketing. Now that I know more of the technical details of the product and seeing that it would definitely be possible to add Windows/Linux support, I am more inclined to buy it and write software for it myself, and I think it would be good to include that on the page more.

Something like "Open hardware/software means that the community could write Linux/Windows support" and a link to the tool that the author said could be used to transfer files on Linux: https://github.com/toasterllc/MDCCode/blob/rev10/Tools/MDCUt... somewhere more prominent on the page would be helpful, as this was not clear to me until I read the comments here.

Exactly. It even works in democracies; Dwight Eisenhower became US president from 1953 to 1961 largely because of his success as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in WWII. And Grant and Washington too, of course.

> A primary investigator on the study, oncologist Prof Georgina Long, said the average risk of recurrence after surgery for the cohort of advanced cancer patients was 50%.

The world's most terrifying coin flip. Especially as melanoma kills when it spreads to other tissues -- like the brain and lungs. If you're on the wrong end of that coin flip, and the recurrence comes up in a bad spot, you're in serious trouble.

There are many cancers -- like thyroid cancer -- that are rarely fatal at their site of origin. They kill when they recur in distant tissues. Anything to reduce the odds of recurrence in such cancers can have outsized positive effects on mortality.

> The vaccine and the Keytruda brought the risk of recurrence down to 25%, Long said. However, she cautioned the results were a “signal” with a larger trial needed to evaluate the true impact better.

This is an outstanding result, and one hopes that it can also extend to other types of cancer.

There's really no reason to delay offering cancer sufferers that treatment, even if the benefit is only a "signal."
