By that argument any shaded line chart which is rasterized becomes a histogram by way of each column of pixels being a bar :p. (i.e. the "binning" is just the horizontal resolution of the rasterization, not a choice in abandoning the intent of showing a line).

wordseen.nyc has a few layers;

it's short, phonetic, includes "words" (plural), homonyms for "word scene", literally describes the collection of each word seen in public scenery, etc.

Arguably wordscene.nyc also.
It's only a failure if you imagine every murder can be solved.

Sometimes, there's just not enough available information to go on.

How would you solve the case if you knew there was a lady dead on the street, and then a few miles away there is an abandoned stolen car with a half smoked joint. No fingerprints.

Where do you go from there in 1989?

Makes sense. Auto complete things are increasingly using language servers, such that I would think they should be in the "communicate with an external process" category. Right?

For pure elisp, the worst I have seen have been around gigantic org buffers. Which, isn't too hard to split up into smaller buffers.

By far the worst case of slowdown is in gigantic log files with absurdly long lines. They made a lot of headway there in detecting the case, as I recall. I also don't think anyone ever said multithreaded would help there.
I wonder if there is a market for something that runs after first install, or via the Settings app, that "makes my install look like X", for X in (Win2k, MacOS, Win10) say.

The point being that this very short list of options is extremely thoroughly-worked-out, which is a level simply not available today in a stock Ubuntu distro and its themes. I can choose elementary, or Mint, bitbthat is essentially an OS distro level decision. I can download some themes, but its not interchangeable at will, and the depth of implementation of gnome or kde themes is very shallow.

I expect that to truly do this would require not just graphical styling but also switching lots of packages around (eg a file manager). Maybe the path there looks like a giant Nix config to capture all the dependencies?
Yeah, that one seems to be the closest so far. Not sure if it would be easier to create a background removal model from scratch (since that's a more simple operation than segmentation) or distill it.
Is there a trade-off wrt attestation privacy here - i.e. using a single root key is better for privacy?

My old company we had rotating on call shifts that was about one week a month. I got paged an average of 2 times a night because of some random thing breaking or some error. My current company, we get a week on call about every month and a half, either primary or secondary. But I have been paged I think 2 times in 3 years. Its a world of difference having a stable application and well done page rules.

You want the history section, “Rise of the Chicago School (1970s–present)”

Ten-to-one it’s connected to the postwar rise of and later diversification (into more narrowly interest-promoting areas with less concern about whether advancing those interests was good or bad governance) think tanks, too. Most bad economic policy, jurisprudence, and law from the ‘70s on seem to be.

Underscore prefix is slightly more than convention: even without an explicit `__all__`, a wildcard import excludes 'underscore-private'.

IMO it's unfortunate, especially because of that behaviour, that they're importable (explicitly) at all.
I don't get it. How could they even expect you to read work emails outside of work hours? Especially since you don't have a company phone. Reading company emails on a private phone sounds like a huge security breach, and may not even be legal.

And if anyone from work (who is not also my friend asking to hang up) calls me on my private phone, I'm reporting them.

I find it really interesting looking at what makes someone "cool" here. I seem to see no end of people online promoting or defending Musk, and the most common argument I see is "he's rich, so obviously smarter than you", "he's rich, you're jealous", "he generates more jobs than most businesses and thus is one of the most important people ever" etc etc. I've never seen anyone ever claim "Zuckerberg is rich, therefore, anything good at all", quite the contrary.
Good point. I made an incorrect assumption there.

The extensibility, flexibility, and smooth learning curve for non-techies comes at a significant cost.

WordPress was designed to be extensible and flexible without requiring the user to edit source files or run commands in a shell. After all, both of these tasks are serious hurdles for non-techies just starting a blog. The user gets a cheap hosting account with a domain and WordPress pre-installed, and doesn't want to care about what's happening on the server side.

This precludes the use of composer, npm, or any other command-line tool in vogue, for installing and managing plugins, themes, and associated libraries. Plugin and theme developers, of course, can use a package manager to bring in their own libraries if they want. But this is not centrally managed by WordPress, so you often end up with incompatible versions and duplicate functionality.

This is also the reason why no program whose tutorial starts by running a shell command -- git, brew, composer, you name it -- is ever going to replace WordPress.
>>the biggest opportunity for a new programming model is extracting the majority of the code from an application and moving it into the infrastructure instead. The second biggest opportunity is for the remaining code—what people refer to as the business logic, the essence of the program—to be portable and secure.

This was such a well put comment, that truly made me grok the entire article in just this one statement.

---

Infrastructure needs to be invisible, and that is where the future of AI-enabled orchestration/abstraction will allow development to be more poetry than code - whereby we can describe complex logic paths/workflows in a language of intent - and all the components required to accomplish that desired outcome will be much more quickly, elegantly be a reality.

THe real challenge ahead is the divide between those who have the capability and power of all the AI tools available to them, and those who are subjugated by those who do.

For example, an individual can build a lot with the current state of the available tool universe... but a more sophisticated and well funded organization will have a lot more potential capability.'

What I am really interested to know, is if there is a dark Dystopian Cyberpunk AI under-world happening yet?

Whats the state of BadActor/BigCorpo/BigSpy's capability and covert actions currently?

While we are distracted by AI_ClipArt and celebrity voice squabbles, and seemingly Top AI Voices are being ignored after founding organizations for Alignment/Governance/Humane/etc and warning of catastrophe - define The State of Things?

But yeah - extracting the code and letting logic just be handled yet portable, clonable, refactorable easily is where we are already headed. Its amazing and terrifying at the same time.

I'm thankful that all my Cyberpunk Fantasy reading, thinking, imagining and then my tiny part in the overall evolution of the world of tech today, having the opportunity to be here, worked with and build to, in with -- and now seeing the birth of AI and using it daily in my actual interactions with my IRL.

Such an amazing moment in Human History to be here through this.
Nope, b2b saas. We charge a decent amount.

Scroll down Stripe's pricing page, they will charge you for literally everything.

We have annual pricing and that definitely results in lower fees and other stuff. But only a small percentage of our users are on the annual plan.

50 MB might be fine for desktops on effectively unlimited & high speed connections, but consider the case of a mobile user with a few GB of data per month. Might be unacceptable for them. Not sure how common that case is in the US, but certainly possible outside the US.
I think there comes a point we should just embrace sixels so you can draw whatever it is you want to be shown in a character cell. That point is usually somewhere around here where it's "sure, I can copy it as normal text data but is it actually going to look like anything like it's supposed in a normal font anyways?". Even Windows is getting support for sixels now.
Yeah, I feel that a lot of EU projects work that way.

I've participated in a bunch of EU projects in the academic space. Most of them were catastrophic failures if you just looked at the direct outcomes (few of the lofty goals were actually achieved). But they did provide much needed funds to participating institutions, and I think they were an overall win.

They come with a lot of overheads (some had 10% or more of the funds go to a lawyer who managed the project). But they are a lot more effective than all the "unbureaucratic" Covid aid payments that mainly went to companies with close ties to political parties...
If it is, they better be covering their tracks.

You're holding yourself back. Ship a terrible version you KNOW isn't valuable and realized your fear isn't that bad, get experience shipping something, and maybe even get feedback that helps you decide to continue or not.

If you're super worried about "maybe nobody will use this thing" then that's great - next time start with validating that people DO want a thing and that you know how to reach them.

Love it :)
I think if you read into the details you wouldn’t make such an obviously naive argument.

The services provided by companies like realpage remove the ability to negotiate.

More importantly, they explicitly manipulate supply coming into the market by removing competition.

Take this example: a lease renewal offer is made available, the price is actually higher if the termination date corresponds to relatively high levels of expected supply influx within the existing property (assuming multiple units) AND across other properties in the same geographic area using realpage or its ilk.

This allows landlords to theoretically offload the collusion onto companies like realpage, for a price.

In a properly functioning market, price discovery is a function of the market, not artificial control exerted by a centralized power with one-sided incentives.
That's actually a fairly common discription of both DEs.

While it's been a couple years since I last used a Mac and I thankfully haven't had to use Windows 11 (only 10, sparsely), I've used all four platforms within the past 3/4-ish years and I'd say it's a pretty accurate blanket statement.

KDE is really intuitive to use as a previous windows-user, and gnome... well certainly feels like they're _trying_ to be MacOS, not sure how familiar it'd actually feel to a recent MacOS convert though.

It's not quite that straightforward; since close kin also share genetic heritage anything you do to benefit your near kin also propagates some percentage of your own DNA. Kin selection has been part of evolutionary theory since Darwin:

> "This difficulty, though appearing insuperable, is lessened, or, as I believe, disappears, when it is remembered that selection may be applied to the family, as well as to the individual, and may thus gain the desired end."

Eusocial insects are doing quite well, for example, despite the tiny subset of the species that reproduce.
Really could use a link to the API docs in the README.md, it is a bit hard to judge when the "documentation" such as they have so far is sparse. But it is nice to see a newish UI project.

I will say I've found Clojure to be a success story for doing GUI work. Projects like Dave Ray's seesaw (https://github.com/clj-commons/seesaw) are an amazing demo of how one man can rearchitect an API like Swing into something that is deceptively fun to use. High hopes that this project goes somewhere that is similarly enjoyable.
Yes. Most of the work in folding clothes is in garment positioning. If you can train robot arms to uncrumple a shirt from the wash and position it, you're 90% of the way there.

The folding itself is trivial with a folding board (10% of the work)

Even without a folding board, you can do a 2-second pinch

KDE is the only desktop environment that I've used on Linux that successfully lets me mimic macOS, not in style, but in the top menu bar and app menu placement, the dock, window decorations/button placement, hot corners etc. The overview feature is also very macOS-esque.

I'm not using a macOS theme, but all of the buttons are in the same places and it works great with my macOS muscle memory. Same thing with key shortcuts, KDE has a customizable shortcut system for practically anything you'd want to do.

I tried doing the same in GNOME and it seems that they want you doing things the GNOME way, which is just different enough to be an annoying experience, personally.
I personally appreciate it - I really like going to the comments to see other approaches and alternatives whenever something is on here. I don't think it's an insult nor do I think it's out of place if done correctly. HN is one of the only places left on the internet where I expect good value in the comments section and this is one of the reasons.
Fun read. Is mind blowing that I haven't had a Windows machine in over 2 decades at this point. I have had some MacBooks, but mainly because that is what companies would buy for me.

My personal machines have been Ubuntu or derivative for a long time now. To the point that I don't even know what I'm missing in alternatives, anymore. Used to be it was games, Steam has been a blessing there.
It's definitely true with KDE Plasma. If you squint at a KDE Plasma desktop, you see a Windows Start menu and System Tray.

The similarity is more vague with GNOME (3) and Mac OS, IMO.

How to Fix Pods Stuck in Terminating Status in Kubernetes?
In uni, I ran Ubuntu 7.04 for a summer on a Thinkpad R21. Similar to the author, I was obsessed in customizing in and making it look like OS X but without any direct experience with using a Mac. I even had a ding sound for completed downloads in Transmission-GTK and some form of grass wallpaper (but not the REAL grass wallpaper).

I then had the realization that what I really wanted was a Mac. I was fortunate enough for my family to purchase me one which, with an AppleCare exchange for a unibody model, lasted me a whopping 11 years (Tiger to Mojave). I also still have that iPod nano from the back-to-school promo they used to have.

Developers don't build supply because most US cities have made it de facto illegal to do so.

For the most extreme case, check out San Francisco, where as of June the city had permitted a grand total of 16 housing units. What developer is even going to bother trying under conditions like that?
The rub is that if store and store b got together and negotiated a price they would stick to and not try to undercut each other, that's price fixing, and that is what realpage is doing on a MASSIVE scale.

'Cartel/Corporate' owners own ~70% of the units in Seattle. 11 total companies (big names you should know like gray star and equity residential), to the one they all use realpage. That's 70% of the market price fixed, MINIMUM.
Reads to me like the rate’s dynamic because it’s indexed to something else (potential sale price) that floats freely, rather than being a fixed value.
One thing many people don’t think about is just giving blood regularly.

Harvard and MIT sold the assets to 2U; the money was rolled over into a new nonprofit:

A lot of the (valid) criticism can be summarized by the "No scalar product necessary. Get rid of it" point (early in one of the tables). The next point on inner product is good, and related.

The point is: there is no natural or distinguished isomorphism from a finite vector space to the vector space of linear functionals over it. We know they are isomorphic- but there are many such isomorphisms with little to distinguish between them. The note's "arbitrary multivector, G" fix for inner products is good. The idea is most of us are using the same G that looks a lot like an identity matrix. And as long as you always use the same G you uniquely identify the inner product by equality (as the note does). But if you accidentally combine work that is using different G you run into trouble. You can end up with different Gs if you don't worry enough about naming your basis.

A lot of this keeps getting re-invented as variations of tensors, the exterior algebra, wedge product and so on. I think most of these end up being more bookkeeping than consumers want.
I'm sure its different in more metropolitan areas. this is in rural Georgia near Savannah.

SF Bitcoin Devs – Socratic Seminar 50
The original non-profit edX sold its brand and most assets to 2U. The remaining non-profit entity was temporarily renamed “The Center for Reimagining Learning.” Last year, this organization was officially named Axim Collaborative and appointed a new CEO. ... Axim appears to have become primarily a grant-giving organization. Besides supporting Open edX, there’s little evidence of using its “substantial resources” for innovation as initially promised. ... Axim’s current assets exceed the total amount edX spent during its entire non-profit phase.

A nonprofit built something, sold it for a lot more than it cost to create it, and now has the cash which it is legally required to spend furthering its mission. This seems generally reasonable to me, though of course Axim may end up spending its millions poorly.
It's working now but it wasn't before.
The thing is, you haven't made the faintest attempt to talk to the submission here. To everyone here it looks like you are just trollishly manufacturing some misinformation about some unrelated point unrelated to France suddenly arresting a dude & throwing a wide array of pretty novel & stunning "non-declared uses of crypotgraphy" accusations at him.

As others on social media have said, this feels sort of like the states gearing up for a general cryptography fight. It could be anything though! At first it seemed extremely unclear what France was upset over, but now that we have some initial accusations and they are quite broad, sweeping, and unclear, such that people witholding judgement are declaring a bit more nervousness (Mike Masnick for one). Does this become the first move to demand access total information awareness, state access to all systems? And picking on the weak shitty barely cryptographic at all weakling, to get some easy early wins on: theres a cowardly and terrifying logic to that.

And it feels like Bloomberg here is signing up to help justify & build the casus belli, pad the explanation. They haven't done any reporting on this till now, so it's hard to see this as good faith. Even as simply being slow & behind & inept at reporting, it feels hardly credible.
