In principle, someone seeing heido15wkj6@yourraredomain.com, yua16ooaaj2@yourraredomain.com, and kqoq91inhi4@yourraredomain.com in a dump might be able to infer that all of these belong to the same user with a catchall address (especially if they can verify that the domain is unpopular via dns caching or other tricks). Using a common service adds another partial layer of anonymity between the email addresses, making one harder to track.
No I'm not familiar with those two, I'm self-taught mostly from reading stuff online and watching racers practice. I skied for 8 years or so before snowboarding (I believe I started around 2001?) so carving the board has always been kind of natural for me once I got past the whole two feet stuck down thing.
And focus requires that you assume that others will pick up the slack, to deal with all the stuff you're not focusing on.
And back when you could log into Facebook and see a feed of all of your friends’ posts quickly. Facebook eventually got to the point where for most people the feed would have been much longer than the time they wanted to spend on site, and so showing them just the most recent few is somewhat random. Much better for engagement to show them posts they like.
An organization is made up of individuals and those individuals may have goals that are entirely different from the goals of the organization as a whole. Their own personal goals may even be detrimental to the organization.

"An organization" doesn't hire people; it's a manager that hires people based on his ability to convince upper management of their necessity. That necessity doesn't need to be real, it just needs to be convincing. Furthermore, some other part of the organization might be starving for staff but be unable to convince the organization of that necessity.

This doesn't even make the whole organization dysfunctional; this is just the nature of any group of humans getting together to do anything. There will always be lairs, cheaters, over-ambitious, under-ambitious, workaholics, slackers, geniuses, and idiots.
>I consider that zone to be a new "sweet spot". A new generation of "web devs" can circle around a tool like this.

The problem there (and this is from experience building and supporting such a tool for non-technical users) is that people learn. Anyone who spends enough time in one of these tools will quickly pick up the fundamentals enough to become frustrated with the limitations. Or their engineering team will see the inneficient code being created and take it upon themselves to just implement these things quickly and simply. So you can start leaking the abstraction and allowing custom CSS/HTML, but then you very quickly arrive at a place that is useless for both teams.

This definitely looks like what I'll use when I buy my next TV. I'll then just run everything through a set-top box like an NVIDIA Shield or my PS4/PS5.

You work for Google, though. Why should your word be trusted over the others'?
I've used Primo EM258 mics with an XLR adapter, they can pick up ultrasound, although the datasheet doesn't really mention this.

See - https://zachpoff.com/resources/cheap-microphones-for-ultraso...

Reading wikipedia "Bats emit calls from about 12 kHz to 160 kHz, but the upper frequencies in this range are rapidly absorbed in air.", so I guess the Primo wouldn't be suitable for the higher bat freqs.

I've been using Affinity's suite exclusively for about 4 years now and I haven't looked back once.

Unluckily, Affinity Designer still has no tool for tracing images (a functionality that would be really helpful for the tasks that I use Affinity Designer for). :-(

UPDATE: Also halftone effects for fillings require quite some hacks in Affinity Designer.
I'm sad to hear that you are having a hard time navigating the market. If it's of consultation know that many developers and engineers go through this hardship, those who never did either: Never pushed their limits, are liars, are Linus Trovalds.
My personal thoughts about this is that I would prefer an applicant's motivation to be more in the sense of "What technologies are emerging, and what makes them so special? I want to master them to feel that I understand how they work". It's a wide answer, but I think the right engines are really what makes the difference. I would suggest finding a field you can develop passion to, preferably an obsession. Having an obsession is a great way to be extremely competent in a filed.
Goof luck!
The marshmellow test was debunked. Turns out like many if these bad experiments when you factor socioeconomic status the test cannot be reproduced. Turns out poor hungry kids just tend to eat free food when its available.
Sound travels at 1 foot per millisecond roughly (standard atmospheric conditions).

So a soundfeed with multiple microphones several feet apart already have this issue.
Goodreads has a one-button link to the Amazon listing, where I can read the first twenty-some pages. That's a "competitive moat", and it's a mile wide.
Seconded, there are many ways in which Designer and Publisher are actually superior as well (beyond actually feeling respected as a customer).
Are we really arguing about whether a massively advertised "free" product will distort a market? If a heavily subsidized Google Maps hadn't been dominating the ecosystem for the past decade and a half many more companies would have competed with various approaches to features, UX, and monetization. You seem to be assuming that all of that competition would have resulted in no improvements over the early 2000s. I guess that's possible, but I expect it would have gone more like nearly every other part of the tech landscape and some actual innovation would have happened.

No I'm not expecting that there would be a perpetually free and ad-free option, that wouldn't make any sense. But the space of possibility is vastly more broad than totally free or the dreck that Google Maps has turned into.
Your generational approach to segment numbering is fine, if you prepend enough zeros to format the files properly then you're also able to sort them correctly. etcd uses the same trick.
Yeah, but only one of those legs controls the money. At least in the US, no money means no food, no shelter, no healthcare, etc, so it is not a viable choice for most. So rightfully most of the blame should be assigned to those that control the money: management and executives. Rarely hear of required ethics guidelines and handwringing about ethics from the MBA types.

I'll accept a share of developer blame in places with strong unions and the ability for workers to strike.

I have a lot of experience, but until recently I was laid off for 15 months.

Once I was desperate enough to pursue (almost) any software job, I tried to upskill in areas that were seemingly in demand.

I just couldn't make myself do it. Without the natural interest, I didn't have the drive and focus to really learn the material.

Eventually I lucked out as the market improved, and I got a job vaguely related to my previous work.

It's only now, that the pressure is off, that I can actually enjoy and dive into a fun, on-the-side software project.

If I had attempted that side project while still looking for work, I couldn't have relaxed enough to actually enjoy it.

YMMV, of course.
If you mean Photoshop>Photo plugins. Affinity doesnt otherwise have any third party plugins or scripting. Unfortunately.
Loved that painting.
Mixed feelings about the case.

Sharing is the best thing that can happen to knowledge. It is great that gatekeepers lose money over this.

However, the blame of the loss might burden oclc, which might have been doing a positive job.

Well, it sure as heck doesn’t exist to uncover the truth, so what does it do?
What kind of machines are people using that entering the UEFI boot menu is difficult? On all three of mine I just press F10 during the first 5 or seconds the vendor logo shows, and I end up in a nice menu where I could select Windows, other kernels, memtest, or the EFI shell or setup.
I've found that properties and other traits in people can be malleable and change over time.

I have tons of personal experiences where a new developer seems very obstinate because they've never had anybody really challenge the way they do things. They get onto a project and suddenly get put in their place by a more senior developer. It might have to happen once, or several times before they start to change how they approach things and become more humble over time.

But I agree, properties of people can change, behaviors you can change for a short time, but you inevitably will regress back to how you normally behave. As such, behaviors tend to be easier to observe and predict.
I would love a tool (or tools) that would let me:

1) Search all of the text transcripts for all of the videos for a given channel/creator;

2) Download all of the text transcripts for all of the videos for a given channel/creator;

Ideally without authentication/login...

You know, like the way plain old Google search works...

Oh this is funny to see. I just posted a blog post talking about Email Aliases an hour ago without knowing about the Bitwarden announcement.

I would love to see aliases being promoted more and more by companies. In the end most companies want to get in touch with you via e.g. a newsletter. So why do they need exactly your private email and not just an email alias. In the end they're reaching the same person.

> It's like the frame interpolation that some TVs had to generate 120p frames from 60p. I actually prefer the original 24p (or 24p double-exposed to 48 like cinema projectors do) for films.

> Transgender folks are represent about half a percent of any given population

This is not accurate for the cohort under study. 5% of people under age 30 identify as transgender or nonbinary. I would personally be unsurprised if well over 100 individuals in the study identified that way.

To be fair, the BS is probably a regular part of the job at that company, so it's a good way to signal that to the candidate.

One thing to start with is to not throw the user into a screen consisting of a grid of fixed width character cells at the very beginning. This is what immediately sends a signal of discomfort to most users not already familiar with terminal emulators. There's no real reason why the default experience of having a dialog with your system installation couldn't take place within an interface that resembles iMessage or ChatGPT or something like Quicksilver. Things like /bin/rm certainly don't care whether they're being invoked from a terminal emulator that has the conventional look or whether it's in a chat-like interface—it doesn't rely on any line drawing characters or output alignment. Even the Python REPL doesn't depend on that sort of thing a great deal, except for stuff like ASCII art arrows pointing to syntax errors. Only when you want to use stuff like vi or ps and ls helpfully trying to put things into columns will you start running into trouble if your terminal emulator has an non-traditional UI. This can be ameliorated to some degree with heuristics to detect e.g. spaces being used for alignment and cursor positioning escape sequences in the output stream.
Somewhat related to this topic, Move.AI https://www.move.ai/ does something very similar but specifically for 3D 'markerless' motion-capture (MoCap) data. You can use iPhones, smartphone or recently any inexpensive network-connectable camera to get synchronized video from multiple sources, and then use that sync'd footage and their service to get accurate MoCap animation without needing expensive MoCap suits or hardware.

Plask.ai and Rokoko Vision do something similar, but only support 1 camera afaik, so their camera-based MoCap is less accurate than Move.ai's multi-camera solution.
It's interesting how the real problem here is that our economic system has no way to sell a product at what the seller will bear, only what the buyer will bear.

I think this is a fascinating feature, a lot of artists would be more than happy to make $X for a show so that their fans can come see them. The problem ends up that a free market has no mechanism for that, the artist can sell the tickets such that they end up with $X but then you get things like scalpers who don't want to see the show but do want money and act like artificial demand. They know that regardless of what the seller wants there are buyers that will pay $X+N and want to capture that $N.

The scalper provides no value to the market, but they get $N, which seems like a market failure to me. The fans lose $N, the artist still only gets $X and they also get reputation damage because fans are upset that things cost $X+N.

And that's just the end of it. The artist literally can not perform for their fans at a venue for $X even if that's what they want, there's just no mechanism in the free market to make that function correctly. I find market failures like this fascinating because it really shows the limits of how "free" markets operate. The only person that isn't free to do what they'd like is the producer of the good being sold, they literally can't sell it for less than the market will bear.

And I suppose this plays out for every part of the market, if I can produce apples and make a profit for $1 a bushel and that's plenty of money for me, I don't want any more, tough shit. Arbitrage will make sure that people pay more for those apples. If people are willing to pay $5 a bushel then someone will snap up my cheap apples, mark them up and make a bunch of money for doing nothing. Even if I were willing to do all the distribution myself, if the person conducting arbitrage adds no value to the system (the common argument being that they deserve the money for finding cheap apples and connecting people that demand apples with a supply of apples), it just can't happen. The incentive to make that free money means everyone loses, I don't get to give people cheap apples, people don't get to enjoy cheap apples, everyone is worse off except for the person doing arbitrage.
Agree!! While DuckDB can operate in-memory, it's more accurately described as an in-process analytical database
This is why I buy my TV and never connect it to the internet.

Between the invasive conversation monitoring and ad spots on the menu, it's much better to buy an Apple TV / Nvidia Shield.
I agree the sample size is way too small to mean much.

But it's very obvious that the press plays to eyeballs over veracity.
I don't think the authors of the books would agree. Of course intellectual property is not real, but it's no less real than "property" of any kind, so if you don't object to the idea of property rights, it's not clear to me why people who create digital products are less worthy of economic protection than those who create physical ones.
I'll add mine, constant logical inconsistencies. If a team is following a roadmap, then you are NOT doing agile, you are not pivoting on a very frequent basis, the team is following a project plan! What's worse, because the agile verbs and nouns are sprinkled in there, somehow a process that is focused on NOT bring predictable (as who knows what the customer feedback will be) - somehow that is supposed to create predictability, and even one where the error bars get smaller as things are predicted further out into the future.

None of it makes sense... yet somehow it is supposed to, and with accountability.
I'll be pedantic and say it really depends on which "professional setting" as to which programs keep people with Adobe. But I assume you mean in the print world.

Personally though, InDesign is (to me) simultaneously both the strongest product in its category, but also the weakest in terms of feature/development compared to the other headlining Adobe product.
First, change the image at the top of that link to show the different apps. Right it's calendars until below the fold (on a desktop), and I didn't scroll down because "eh, physical calendar, not interested". Also, apparently I did not read the text very carefully (maybe because clearly it's a calendar, it says so in the link) and didn't notice the "other apps" bit for several minutes.

However, I don't think the market for this is very large, especially at the current price. How many people have enough events per day that they need a calendar? Plus, my phone already has a calendar, and it has reminders so I don't even need to look at it. If I were married maybe syncing up calendars could be useful, so if that's the use case then put that in the picture. I don't get the whole show-a-website thing. I know HN likes putting the NYT on their wall, but I just don't get it, especially at 125 dpi. A photo, okay, but B&W and 600x480 is not what I'm looking to spend $150 + $3/month for. Also, anything with a subscription is right out. Reliance on external servers is right out, sooner or later that server is going to go away.

The problem as I see it is that the things you put on your desk/wall are either art, 300 dpi color photos, whiteboard for todos, clocks, and calendars. This only really fits the last two--except that there is no option for clocks (say, clock and clock+picture)--and $150 seems kind of expensive for that. Expensive compared to what $150 could buy me, given that a synced up calendar is just a click away on my browser and integrated into my phone.

Since you asked for advice, I'd say you have a cool hobby/craft/maker project, but not a saleable product. Pivot or quit. For instance, if you want to try the hobby route, you could make it to fit standard picture frames of a given size and offer one yourself for extra, and make it assemble-yourself. Saves time on your part, reduces costs, so you can sell it cheaper. Provide a download to setup a local server, and an option to display a PNG (= inexpensive way for users to write pixels directly) via USB or something. I don't know if that's a good idea, but it seems like a wider market.
That’s a fantastic crystallizing idea. In my experience, I’ve tried to temper that dance between self drive and flexibility by reflecting on what overarching goals to commit to… the resulting sense of understanding and control at an overarching level like that is what has helped me.

Of course, the hard part is in knowing what goals to commit to, and what to back off from!

One easy way to meet Microsoft's boot time requirements is to skip input device enumeration, so there's a lot of machines meeting the Windows sticker requirements where entering the firmware either requires a bunch of failed boots or getting far enough into the boot process that you can be offered an opportunity to reboot into the setup menu.

Sure, but the issue is, someone might not think ticket master is evil. And I’d argue the things they do that should at least be illegal (in my view) have nothing to do with developers.

Take away their exclusive rights (on both sides of the business) to 80+% of large live music venues and they’re just another ticket platform.

A whole article making bold claims about a whole industry based on 34 people interviewed by Zoom?
What a ridiculous claim. They call computer hardware and salaries damage.

I want a competent judge to make sure that these are not damages and I wish that Anna’s Archive continues to operate in sensible jurisdiction for the foreseeable future.

If I had the means I would donate to them.
Yah I made a mental note when I saw that setup being used in the Tiger King Netflix show (where they show quite a bit of behind the scenes of making it). I think it stuck in my head just because it was FCP7 but it’s like a high quality power tool - it doesn’t just stop working (unless you break it hehe)
> When you point out problems, their eyes glaze over, and their replies sound like ideologues talking about matters of doctrine

I feel this post needs a counterpart "The Right Kind of Naysayer", which distinguishes between good and bad ways of pointing out problems.

I believe the environment matters (did I learned around people who made valid points, or around sophist ideologues?). If you're around obstinate stubborns, you're likely to become more like one, specially if they are rewarded by their obstinance.

Of course, all of this is ultimately anectodal. We can't seriously put people in boxes like this. It is good food for thought though.

Ease of use for the "average" business worker. HN is not the intended audience but I wanted to share for feedback regardless.

There are simply a lot of people working in non-tech companies dealing with emails all day. All the context and attachments are already present in their email client. It's way easier to forward these emails to an email address than download the attachments, re-upload them and ask in OpenAI/Claude/etc.

Hope that answers it :)
Why shouldn't the artists get a cut of the greater-than-MSRP resale? Yeah, I realize that some pretend that the MSRP is the real price, but if anyone should get a cut of the jacked up fees, it should the people on the stage or producing the show.
I often feel this way l only to realize that the real cause is that the software was written before planning the architecture first. Usually caused by the rush to a minimum viable product rather than maintainability. Immutably can definitely lighten that burden though. The worst case is opening the code and finding mountains of global state that can be modified from who knows where.
They need the exact email address because:

1) Prevent duplicate account creation

2) Users forget what email they used to signup (this happens ALLLLLL the time with + emails)

3) To sell your data, link you, and spam you.
