It effectively removed a great number of pages of laws/regulations/contracts that need to be applied to my life.

I never need to think about import/export restrictions, immigration law, visas, exchange rates, phone contracts or medical insurance contracts.

It certainly deregulated my life. I feel less regulated on what I can do. It removed barriers. And that's really the only thing that matters.
Yah, but worked because the aliens used the humans satelite network against them, to comunicate with their fleet.

Since they where interfacing with out tech, makes sense to use this against them.
To get a SIM card, open a bank account, do any kind of investments, etc. you need to do a pretty extensive ID check, which involves going on a video call with an agent and holding up your passport and moving it around in all kinds of ways to show that all the reflections are there and stuff. It's pretty laborious and intrusive

Basically you must have your identity fully checked by a third party whenever you do something that can be used for terrorist reasons, which currently includes having a bank account and using a phone. Adding instant messaging in general to that list would not be surprising.

There is an entire industry in Germany and Europe in general built around supplying this service of checking people's identities.
But it's the other way round: people in those industries (can) have those features enabled!

Unless by 'feature' you mean the mandatory scanning?
Even including M2 Ultra in that comparison is a bit unfair. That's a HEDT workstation CPU. The competition for this is a Threadripper.
Probably yes, although in some EU countries having CP is below the level of a criminal offence, with the circumstances being that the images are artificially created even the minimum of three months of jail might not be considered.
Honestly the game is kind of disappointingly surface level. It spends far too much time trying to exercise your knowledge of template columns and grid start/end but not enough to explain way more other features. No lessons about colspan, minmax, autoflow, gap, column names, subgrid and much more. I found flex to not fit a usecase I was working with so decided to use the website to learn about grid and I was pretty unamused to find out how little it actually teaches you
This is quite an oddity in the internet space I feel (not in a bad way - but not necessarily a good way either - i just find it odd). Reading through the rules it's such an interesting mix of.. ideals?

Kafka assumes you have infinite storage space. That might be okay for toy projects or for the insane architectures you see in the enterprise space, but not for a serious project.
Yes, that is always implied. Even Guido, the original BFDL, stepped down. Linus will probably retire at some point (I hope, considering the alternative would be death before retirement at a relatively young age). Etc.

yo andreas, it takes a lot of courage to acknowledge the situation and i truly applaud you for that. i will keep on cheering you from the sideline.
This isn't supported by people I've talked to who have owned prior Formlabs printers, though. In fact, I've walked into several R&D labs and seen Formlabs printers collecting dust because they couldn't get support or replacement parts. And when I can replace an entire printer 8 times with next-day shipping and it's still cheaper for significantly higher resolution and faster prints... again, what am I getting here? And I'm not asking as a hobbyist, I ran a 50 printer farm for a couple years.

Sooo many. I can't even pick one.

I'll pick the one that did the most damage.

We had a service window to do some sort of migration involving a DB, very late at night. I had been up all day working, short walk, dinner, then around 11pm this service window started.

My eyelids were heavy, I almost fell asleep in the video call. I should have admitted this, we could have re-scheduled.

I ended up doing a bash for loop that dropped every single table in a production database, and this data was sometimes queried by law enforcement so we had a legal requirement to keep it for 6 months.

We could restore a backup but there was data missing, so for 6 months we prayed no one would request the missing date ranges.
Don't forget the voters.
> only people who are good at studying go to university.

I think this is arse over elbow; the purpose of an undergraduate degree course is to teach you to study and do research. The "research" done by undergraduates isn't novel research; the student repeats "research" that has been done by generations of students before them. I.e., it's practice.

For this reason, writing undergraduate essays felt to me like being an impostor; you try to write in the manner of a researcher, knowing that you're faking it.
The comment I'm ultimately replying to is this:

> In computing, the specification is the gold standard, followed by documented, committed implementation behaviors

my point is that a specification is not the gold standard, because it can be interpreted differently by different readers.

We need interop conferences to help identify the places where the specification is insufficient to fully and unambiguously describe the desired behaviours.

This can only happen because of input from implementors. And since the specifications are always evolving, they are always going to trail the implementations.
Sure .. from my PoV I can live with "powder" it's the "boom" that rankles.

Relatively slow controlled energy release for thrust isn't particularly evoked by the word BOOM!!

Otherwise simplifying rockets and missiles as they are today to tubes of slow release thrust (with some additional wrinkles such as side thrust | directional thrust to 'balance' load over thrust, multi stages, etc) seems innocent enough.
Agree and that's why I have made a page: https://lit.money/dataandsecurity.html
Technically it's just a data-keeping platform.
And for security, I don't ask or share any sensitive data!
But thanks for your feedback, I am adding your suggested points to the landing page and highlighting them! In the future, I will invest in licensing.
I understand where the author is coming from and I’ll be the first to tell you that Agile/Scrum has become a monster, unrecognizable from the original goals. I’ve worked places where it’s treated like a religion (don’t question anything, just follow the system) and it quickly becomes a waste of time.

That said, I’m not aware of a better system than 1-2 week sprints where a team pulls in tasks from a prioritized backlog.

The author says something to the effect of “we are all adults here” but that makes me question where the author has worked. Almost everywhere I’ve worked there have been a few (normally minority) people who absolutely do not behave like adults. If you have a company full of self-starters who don’t need any checking-up on then maybe standups aren’t needed but even then, I find them useful (as in IC and as a manager) to keep up with what people are working on. Being fully remote it is useful for quick questions or an easy way to present a new idea/way of doing something. Yes we have Slack and async communication but let’s not pretend that they are complete replacements for hearing and seeing each other. Some ideas are harder to communicate over text.

Lastly I find sprints to be a way to protect the team from ever-shifting priorities from the business side. I’ve been places where the priorities change almost daily which can be stressful and leave you constantly uncertain of what you should be working on. Sprints help prevent that in my experience. Business can change priorities at their whim but the development team will only reevaluate them on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.

I’ll never say “this system is the pinnacle of software development” but it’s the best I’ve used, or at least better than anything else I’ve tried. But I’m always open to new ways to manage projects.
Thanks for doing this. I'll give it a try.

I took a quick look at your website, and your photography looks really beautiful. Are you based in Copenhagen?
When you can be CEO of multiple companies at the same time _and_ be on the board of several other companies, being CEO clearly isn't a full time job, at least for the people that aren't just focused on being CEO of a single company.
And I'm so thankful. Table layouts are horribly restrictive and opinionated with all sorts of arcane under-the-hood rendering rules making simple things like fixing the width of your columns not work at all. Grid is better except obviously if you're rendering an actual table
What’s unfortunate is that a lot of folks here will cheer on regulation of tech if branded as “pro-consumer.” Anything with the keywords pro-privacy, and right-to-repair, Reddit/HN types will eat up uncritically. “This is great!”

But people don’t seem to understand, if you cheer when governments use their power to “protect” you, they don’t suddenly decide to stop doing it.

Just because phase 1 was friendly to your pet interests, doesn’t mean phase 2 will be.

I wish folks would look at all regulation with a much more critical lens, and be much more humble about implementing it.

Decentralization brought on by the internet is messy, complicated, and scary. But it’s a direct transfer of power from central authorities to individuals. So whenever you bypass the messy, decentralized way of solving problems in favor of the easy centralized way (regulation), you have given up your power. You reap what you sow.
You're probably thinking to the hormone beef issue where EU has stricter standards than the USA.

On the other hand, EU allows cheese made from raw milk while most of the US states disallow it.

On both issues and as a cheese lover I'm glad to live on the right side of the Atlantic.
I honestly don’t understand the examples of why Russia, Iran, or China?

Is leapseconds going to be a US-friendly vs not thing?
I think the "at worst" was what happened here.

Both in terms of taking a shortcut in the priority queue because it was easily measurable, lived on it's own right without complex dependencies and "the platform guys also need an OKR"

But also in terms of how it was handled with regards to the OKR deadline, and possibly bonuses/performance reviews connected to how well it was achieved.

Yes, it was dysfunctional, but the OKRs enabled it IMO.

A huge company like google can swallow this because this fancy CI/CD tool was what they wanted all along, and there will always be another customer/project. But for a smaller company, this kind of shift in priorities can be lethal.

Show HN: Babelfu – manage translations on top of GitHub
Syncing keys between the "translations service" and the repo can be a real headache, especially when multiple developers work on different branches. Adding, removing, or editing keys can quickly become a cumbersome task.

I thought that building a translation tool on top of Github (at the moment) would eliminate the hassle of syncing the keys between the service and your repository.

Babelfu is in a pretty alpha stage, with minimal features to test the idea, but it's enough to get a taste of its potential. If you want to give it a try, you can follow this guide https://github.com/babelfu/babelfu-demo

There is an instance ready for use at https://babelfu.com

If you are interested in the idea or have any feedback, use the GitHub issues, email me (check my profile), or use this thread.

Many thanks for your time!

That's interesting. If the use case is meant to be during one-off or exceptionally busy periods, do you anticipate team members having these on their desks the whole year round?
Show HN: I made a tool to speed up development with ready to use APIs
Hey HN!

I'm Shayan,

I was building a tool named dubvid, then i realized that i have to create different apis for different reasons, so i created tinyapis,

Tinyapis is the collection of predefined api's that you can use in your projects to speed up the development by saving time on creating these functionalities,e.g remove image background, base64 to pdf etc
> A bit off topic, but I was thinking recently if EU ever deregulates anything?

Alas, the EU isn't special in this regard.

Deregulation isn't really popular these days. But it has happened from time to time here and there.
Just FYI, Greta Thunberg is considered persona non grata now.

As it'd be foolish to rely on things like gps that may no longer be around when you want/need to launch, as far as I know ICBMs (and presumably also SLBMs?) still shoot the stars near apogee, to fix their reckoning.
Same for anyone who cites "99.99%" in this discussion.

Because for one the problem isn't well defined enough for such percentages to be possible (two human experts judging pictures will disagree on far more than 0.01%) and two that number isn't remotely close to the specificity that would be needed.
Yes, I don't see how the EU mandating free roaming is a case of deregulation?

Perhaps I'm missing something.

> isn't part of a coordinated international project

Maybe not "coordinated" but they do have some collaboration with Italian, French, Swedish and Pakistani teams on this one.

Chang'e 7 has Egyptian/Bahraini, Italian, Swiss, Thai, Russian and an international lunar group's payloads.

The Wolf Amendment makes it impossible for NASA to cooperate with China at all, so a competitive stance is really the best we can hope for (the worse alternative bring an outright adversarial one), unless the ESA can wiggle a stabilising middle path between the two sides.

I imagine ASAT weapons around L2 would fit that bill!
Reader feedback: feed reader scores and "like" buttons
They have different standards for some things.

Eg in Germany minced pork has to be safe to eat raw, because that's what Germans do. Not because they are necessarily any stricter in general.

In the US eggs have to refrigerated. In Germany they are typically sold at room temperature. (I'm not sure whether refrigeration of eggs would be legal for shops in Germany?)
It's fascinating that this topic has riled so many people!
> Model not sticking to the bed. Behaviour was inconsistent.

Crank the exposure time for the first 10 layers up. Way up, like 10x the exposure time for normal layers. They'll come out noticeably oversized, maybe 0.3mm bigger than you wanted. Adjust the model to compensate.

Longer storytelling is an instrument for regulating the speed of information you're pumping to the reader. This allows for reader's brain to slowly ingest the information and be comfortable with it.

When you remove this element, you get technical reports and scientific papers. If you further do this you lose information.

Otherwise you can summarize everything down to a single sentence.
In general, yes.

Though you seldom get deregulation by just deleting laws. Most of the time deregulation means replacing one regulation with a different set (that is hopefully simpler, but not always).
> authoritarian and pro-surveillance

Whether by accident or design, the "smartphone" (package of sensors) manufacturing revolution made surveillance cheap and pervasive. Those atop a wealthy hill of deregulated inequality may be attracted to a mirage of tech-enabled control, powered by harvested signals and McKinsey dashboards. But all observations affect the observer, so observe.. wisely.
This is factually incorrect. A quick search will show you plenty of flexible resins. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eely3rxr2to

Resin is also much less prone to size changes than standard FDM filaments. If you've printed FDM you should know how much tolerance you have to have in your parts (ex. hole diameters) to account for shrinkage post-print, not to mention the difficulty of printing things like ABS.

Resin has MANY drawbacks and in my opinion kind of sucks as a general user experience, but warping, material quality, and material options are not worse than FDM.
Adobe scolded for selling 'Ansel Adams-style' images generated by AI
Many years ago, I've been playing around with similar ideas - although my attempts were probably more like "abstract fonts" then actual ciphers.

What feel kinda curious to me about this one, is that I see no reason or pattern for why certain letters are circles, squares or triangles. It seems to be a case of just taking all consonants in the order they have in the latin alphabet, and then randomly making the first four circles, the next four squares, the next four triangles, etc...

In my own attempts I would always try to have meaning to the shape. Like is it a voiced sound or not? Is it a plosive? Is it "soft" or a "hard" sound? etc.

So, if you a see a triangle, you know that imparts a certain quality to it... the only distinction you see here is between vowels and consonants?

I'd replace "don't care" with "are intentionally misinformed / not informed enough" or "don't understand the consequences".

It's hard to have time to think about these issues when you have zero free time, barely manage to make ends meet, don't have techie friends and are bombarded with propaganda. It's possible, but it's hard, especially when that very propaganda uses the main thing you work your ass off to scare you into submission.

Video for simple Transformer that generates new songs lyrics
I have been trying to find this video from a conference I watched around 9 months ago. I believe it was posted here, but I may be wrong.

In the video, there is a musician & coder who is building a small language model on the fly with Python, feeding lyrics from bands and then creating new songs, as he plays them on his guitar. It was a fun project to learn about transformers and language models that involves coding and music, so I'd like to give this a go.

I have tried every Google search prompt, ChatGPT, Bing, HN, X... and I still can't find the video.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows the video/conference I am talking about.

As a counter-example: Europe is pretty good at artisanal luxury items for rich people. Those are generally fairly lightly regulated.
But this is a case of countries removing legislation from you.
