Microsoft shenanigans is the reason I switched recently to a Chromebook (Acer 516 GE 16GB - bought for £400 on EBay) and with minor exceptions it's been really easy.

I am a .NET dev who needs to remote into work via Citrix. I work locally on my own .NET stuff in JetBrains Rider and I can do it on the Chromebook now.

It's not perfect but, damn, it's really close: After installing the Linux Dev Environment I have all the tools I need.

The only issue is that sometimes when I open Rider, the font sizing is off - sometimes it's small, other times it's large. But Ctrl + MouseWheel takes care of it. Once or twice I had to restart the linux VM (right click, Close Linux and it's done) but that's it.

Anyway, the point is that nowadays there is becoming less and less reason to stay on Windows and I think Microsoft knows this too, hence trying to lock you into their ecosystem as much as possible and trying to dangle things in front of you to keep your attention.

But who would have thought that for £400 I can run all my .NET stuff on a Chromebook. Not only that, I switched from a 14700K on Windows to a 1260p running ChromeOS and coding/compiling is just as fast. It's nuts.

Side-note: Windows peaked at 2000...

This is world autoformatters have wrought. The central dogma of the autoformatter is that "formatting" is based on dumb syntactic rules with no inflow of imprecise human judgements.
> Doesn't matter how you get there (though it's a bummer you've lost faith), just matters that you did.

What bothers me is exactly this attitude that all you need is Rust:

> The solution is called Rust. Encode all the rules in the code and type system once, and never have to worry about them again.

My point is that you can encode all important information in a formal language. It does not solve the documentation problems, it can mitigate them. That's not nitpicking, because I've met plenty of people thinking the former and their code is usually difficult to read as a consequence.
Yes but that’s an anti pattern. Arrow functions aren’t there to look cool, they’re how you define lambdas / anonymous functions.

Other than that, functions should be defined by the keyword.
Dysgraphia or: can a MNIST-trained ResNet read my clinically atrocious writing?
At 0% brightness, my hue is 167, bluer than 85% of the population.

And at 100% brightness, my hue is 176, bluer than 69% of the population.

This means that turquoise is green in sunlight and blue otherwise.
Aw.

Check out BVE and OpenBVE, the train simulators. Exactly the same problem - stop precisely at the stations and keep to schedule. Subways and railroads in Japan, the US, and Korea are modeled in great detail.
If I had to guess, the partner mentioned here is likely a library provider used in those ad-laden mobile games that are advertised in other ad-laden mobile games. If this is actually happening, I think the overlap between people who'd notice what's happening and actually run these apps for a prolonged period is small to non existent.
It is that easy, at least on distros built for containers. Most stagex based containers are a single binary.

Sorting I’ve not got an issue with at all. It’s the requirement to wash plastic containers through most parts of the UK that gets me. Not because of the effort, but because I can’t believe it’s more efficient for me to wash butter dishes and jars using warm water and soap (alongside every other house), than for the recycling centre to put in a big collective washer.
why the need to pronounce arbitrary preferences, who cares?
Huh? I have an old hand-powered drill from my Grandpa in my workshop. I used it once for fun. For all other tasks I use a powered drill.
Same for IDEs.
They help your refactor and reason about code - both properties I value.
Sure, I could print it and use a textmarker, but I'm not Grandpa
Freedom, I want to be able to take a break at will, go out for a walk or play games at home. I want to be able to control my time freely, without being urged to work non-stop by life, debts and my wife.
OTOH if you do want to use the ESP32, I find using AI assistance is great to help translate codebases/programs/apps across languages/usecases (or outright generate it).
Sorry, but it sounds like you wanted something for free (making some assumptions about subsequently being able to change to a different plan) and are now frustrated it didn’t work out exactly as you’d intended.

Too late for this time, but a personal practice I’ve adopted is to make sure I’m paying for the thing I want before building on it (even if there’s a trial), so that the company views me as a customer. Ie tending to upgrade before it’s strictly required.
Did you auto generate the clues?
I read parts of the Linux kernel source code pretty often, and getting the definition of a function is often pretty involved:

- I don't always know the return code type, as the calling code assigned a field whose definition I don't know to find either

- I don't know if it's a C function or a preprocessor macro

This often results in me searching for the exact function name, and combing through the uses in the drivers.
You then need to re-start all that recursively to understand the function you just read.

I could use clangd for that, but I don't have the ressources on my laptop to compile a kernel
Processes in a container are just normal processes. But if your container lacks gdb or strace or whatever other tools, you can bring them in.
That's a great proposition by OpenAI.
I think however that it is still one to two orders of magnitude too expensive compared to traditional text extraction with very similar precision and recall levels.
Maybe that's because of much I learned about about color, but I very quickly get to a point where the correct answer can only be 50% blue, 50% green. Answering either blue or green feels wrong to me.
If you actually want your money back talk to your own lawyer. Don't count on the FTC or an AG to do anything. They're swamped and mostly toothless.
You can inject any binaries you want into a process namespace.

Shipping debug tools, a package manager, or even a shell in a production container is increasing attack surface and image size for no reason.

Do not ship dev tooling to prod. Pull and attach it on demand only. Servers and containers should be immutable appliances.
We do not. We cooperate on b2b/contractor basis.
How secure do they need to be? It's a single ephemeral factor. Every cell tower a numbers station. Sometimes I relay my OTP code to my friends in FB chat if I think the number has cool properties. I don't tell them anything else about the sign-in, so my self-breach has a rather limited risk factor. Didn't that LifeLock guy advertise his SSN everywhere?

I'd say reliability counts for more in these cases, and SMS was designed for unreliability, like UDP. So I'd be more concerned about the relationships and gateways from MFA services to send out their codes, and ensure that they can be received in a timely fashion. This message will self-destruct in ten minutes.
The reasoning is the same
Why not simply hold Ctrl and click on the name of the function?
llama.cpp enabled continuous batching by default half a year ago: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/6231

There is no need for a new API endpoint. Just send multiple requests at once.
I'm only seeing this now, sorry. First I'm not a doctor, so I can't give medical advice, certainly not if you believe you are already predisposed to something. I would say that there is no difference between the cheap and expensive devices, as long as they emit the correct wavelengths at the correct intensities. Since that's very low for targeting the eye (you are not trying to treat deeper joints/full body), you won't have to overspend. I think Prof Glen Jeffery mentioned a handheld red light in the 30 euro range for the morning treatment.

You can also look at (670/810 nm LED light strips to hang above your computer monitors and passively absorb some while starting at your monitor all day if you are getting an excess of blue light). I think that is another protocol though, but it might help.

I am sure though that it's more about consistency and treatment time (as in, you can't double the intensity to halve the treatment time). Furthermore, more is not better, it's more like an on/off switch after 2-3 minutes. You can do it every day, just like the solar spectrum is relatively higher in the required part of the spectrum at early morning sunrise every day.

But honestly, listen to Glen Jeffery, perhaps read /r/redlighttherapy
Is anyone actually using this to cache the artifacts of a compiler? Do you have a link? Like a proof of concept compiler that can produce both a binary and a proof that it was compiled correctly.

I'm a software engineer with 7+ years' experience in distributed systems, web apps, and scalable infrastructure. Also active in open-source game development since 2022. I love video games, so I was mainly looking for a way to apply my skills in distributed systems and backend engineering to the production of video game, but feel free to contact me anyways if you have an open position where I can help develop an interesting product.
Schools really need to teach kids not to trust the identity of anyone who initiates contact them unless they can physically see them in person and already know them personally. If the general population had this skill ingrained in them, all phishing scams would poof away into uselessness.
musl is not an option for a stable and compatible system. Also much slower with Python.
> I think it works because banks have nonsensical security already

Like FirstDirect changing the password requirements for their app from the already far from best practice "between 5 and 9 case-sensitive alphanumeric" down to "6 digits" and making a show and dance about this being "just as secure as before"…

Suffice it to say that I've spread my financial resources a bit more widely than that one organisation now (and I'm considering a more complete move, but a lot of the competition is no better). I want there to be more than my unlocked phone and give digits between the bulk of my money and anyone who wants access to it.
Fantastic, we always had disagreements about colours with my wife - now i know why.
Or have 470 really shady apps with a small install base that actually include a listening SDK (with the microphone warning from the OS showing), then pad the rest with garbage data from other sources to pretend their solution covers more than the very few users it does.
> their billing system is a bit clunky

That's a very naive way of looking at things.

Billing system restrictions, especially around downgrading and cancellations, are always artificial.
The beautiful thing about the apathy is that if things turn around, you'll be able to use it to ask for whatever rate sounds most ridiculous and see if it sticks, because you won't be so hung up on yourself. You'll also be less likely to abuse yourself on your employers behalf for the privilege. Especially if you've got a glimpse at how much money gets screwed away on one-off transactions that make your manager look good, you'll understand it's in your best interest to try and get as much as you can out as quickly as possible, just keep increasing one of the digits until it seems unreasonable, and then see if it turns out to be :) You'll be happy you asked for me whether you turn out to do well and love the place, or you get laid off next time or your landlord decides to sell, if you're part of the cohort of millennials and lower priced out of stability.
Exactly - services on GOV.UK are developed by teams across government (as well as agencies etc), and they're (mostly) free to use whatever tech makes sense for the team and the project.

GOV.UK Vue isn't intended for normal, bread-and-butter transactional services (usually a series of form pages) but for things like more complex internal tools, dashboards, mapping etc which would be using JS to provide interactivity

Issue is that Llama are x100 more expensive at the very least.
Host Forgejo yourself if you do not want your business halting based on the prodeng fuckups of other teams.

I decided a while ago that my personal project must either be released as Open Source or commercial software. That keeps me honest, because releasing software as Open Sources exposes it to others so I try to make those projects as good as I can make them and releasing commercial software incentivises me to make it cost me less in support cost. That approach has helped me cull the number of unfinished projects.

I don't mean to mean but: what is surprising about any of this ?

Joseph Fourier's solution to the heat-equation (linear diffusion) was in fact the origin of the FT. The high-freq coefficients decay (as -t^2 IIRC) in there; the reverse is also known to be "unstable" (numerically, and is singular from the equillibrium).

More over, the reformulation doesn't immediately reveal some computational speedup, or a better alternative formulation (which is usually a measure of how valuable it is epistemically).

(Edit: note that Heat-equation is more akin to the Fokker-Planck eqn, not actual Diffusion as an SDE as is used in Diffusion models).
It's not that strange, is it?

In discussion, most people associate lockdowns directly with the wider Covid response.

The subhead expands and explains, drawing in the "world of masks and remote health visits has created a generation at risk of social and emotional difficulties".
Notably, you need the $60 “full” version to get the ATX power control breakout that attaches to the perverse physically-USB-C connector that has the ATX signals (why? why did they make this abomination?..). Or make your own, I guess, that’s always an option (if only USB-C connectors weren’t absolute ass to solder).
Golang gets zero points from me because function receivers are declared between func and the name of the function. God ai hate this design choice and boy am I glad I can use golsp.
Data is "stored locally" but does the model run locally too?
The way that XKCD did it is the best, you ask people to give a name to each color then the responses are entirely natural and unprompted.

I don’t think that forced choice can give accurate results if a substantial number of people perceive green and blue as being non-adjacent - i.e. there exists a color between green and blue (turquoise/cyan/teal).

Otherwise it’s like asking people whether a color is red or yellow, when it’s clearly a shade of orange.
Our small Webserver is now down for almost a day
Windows might be going the way of the Facebook - Billions of users but somehow only 3 people (out of many) I know use it.
By chance, I was reading earlier today about the dilemma of recreating 'Tyrian purple', aka 'Royal purple', since knowledge of making (something like) it from sea snails was lost long ago (long before it was 'created in the lab' by Perkin in 1850s, igniting the German aniline industry). And the old faded art works (back when it was high fashion) are not so reliable either.

The Wiki sez [0] that in 1998 the process was thought to have been discovered (who can be sure?) "True Tyrian purple, like most high-chroma pigments, cannot be accurately rendered on a standard RGB computer monitor" and shows 2 quite different swatches.

This doesn't matter. Not while the US is the reserve currency, and not for a few other reasons either. It's a fake GOP campaign point and nothing more.
Distroless still uses Debian packages but strips and repackages them. This leads to CVEs being fixed _slower_ than with Debian images. You really have to do that work yourself so you can get a trusted and fixed image (like in the article).
Anyone who can decode the secrets of life itself! Reading ACGT strings isn't just for biologists—it's for anyone who wants to see the market with the same complexity as DNA. While teenagers might breeze through price/time graphs, those who can interpret ACGT strings are diving deep into the genetic code of the market. It's like comparing a tweet to an epic novel—the level of detail and insight is on a whole different scale. So if you're up for the challenge, grab your lab coat and let's decode some financial DNA!
I thought launchers like Pegasus were going to be the future. Hauling heavy objects up into the atmosphere is basically a solved problem, and the aircraft that can do it are about as reusable as you're gonna get.
A big question with IPMI is what the default keys are. If someone manages to install some extra IPMI keys somewhere in the supply chain, or there's a default key, they can remote admin the computer.[1]

> Hence realtime sprite scaling is not feasible.

Playdate got STM32F746 (ARM Cortex-M7F) at 180 MHz. 320 kB SRAM (and 16 MB of other RAM, maybe PSRAM?). DSP and saturation instructions are included.

The display is 400x240 1bpp.

Surely that's more than enough juice for sprite scaling? (Might need to copy graphics data to SRAM and even to do it in tiles for better performance.)

Although your video based implementation is pretty cool.
Not even strong computer but worked fine here. I guess using Firefox helps :)
Is SAF produced from electricity alone is a real thing at all, at any significant scale (say is there enough of it produced worldwide to fuel a single 737 once daily)?
Show HN: I built a Face Symmetry Test tool – Analyze facial features instantly

Yes, and I'd like to see a breakdown of the answers per country.

I'm French and my boundary is at 167 apparently (though I have a poor screen and depending on where I look, I could say that even further towards the green side is still blue). But a regular occurrence at home is my wife (who speaks a different language, we don't live in France) talking about « the green table » while I'm trying hard to find any green table around us, until I realize she's talking about that turquoise table that I call the blue table. Also happens on the red/pink and pink/purple boundaries.
I wish javascript had a built-in or at least (defacto) default linter. Like go-fmt or rust fmt. Or clippy even.

One that could enforce these styles. Because not only is the
export const foo = () {}

painful on itself, it will quite certainly get intermixed with the

function foo() {}

and then in the next library a

const foo = function() {}

and so on. I'd rather have a consistently irritating style, than this willy-nilly yolo style that the JS community seems to embrace.
⍃Kalvium, Bangalore, India (onsite in HSR Layout).

Hi folks, I'm hiring in the engineering team at Kalvium across SDE2 to Lead levels. We are build the google-maps of education - the only edtech where we bring a focused, standardized, digital approach to CS education.

Here's 3 cool things we've done:

1. 100% AI based evaluators in B.Tech CS 4 year program.

2. Launched our full-fledged program in 20+ universities in India, where students are placed from 3rd semester onwards. This year we've had more premium universities signup: SRM, VIT, Christ, etc.

3. Solid business fundamentals - sustainability in every classroom with our revenue.

To align you to our approach: we seek out engineers who want to involve with this problem statements. Edtech v1.0 in India does not have a good rep (tell me about it!), but the problem statements remains: higher education system is broken, and not giving students the outcomes they are capable of (Here's the outcomes we deliver - https://kalvium.com/hire-from-us/).

Our main realization is: we can't rely on people to drive a significant change, rather it has to be a system which builds and uplifts skills in students. That's what we've built and launched in above universities (https://kalvium.com/heros/). We have a 12 year roadmap! it's a blue ocean, and we want to build and lead Edtech V2.0.

Note on team/compensation: We plan on being a small core team that geeks out on learning and platform-izing it! Our pay is commensurate in the 60-70th percentile of the market, and we add-on meaningful equity. We plan for a 4 year path of growth for every individual in our team. If this sounds like a meaningful challenge and place to build your career, please reach out to me via anil@kalvium.com with your resume.
> But surely it can't really be true?

Sure it is. Any company that isn't evil if they get big enough will become evil, just like Google who removed 'don't be evil ' as a slogan when they got large enough.

You can thank Reagan and gutting company regulation for this.
Most autoformatters do not reformat string constants as GP has said, and even if they did, this is something that can be much more accurately and correctly specified with an AF than with a human.

Autoformatting collectively saves probably close to millions of work hours per year in our industry, and that’s at the current adoption. Do you think it’s productive to manually space things out, clean up missing trailing commas and what not? Machines do it better.
Pity they don't have the "before" photo, so we can see what the photoshop effort added.
I've wondered the same myself. I'd assume that in "the old days" a rural first child was pretty much socialized by the family only, at least until subsequent siblings dropped.
How is that an anti-pattern?
