In good faith, I'm going to assume you are just ignorant of California gun laws.

California requires Firearm Safety Certificate [1], Texas does not.

California requires 10 day waiting period [1], Texas does not.

California requires Safe Handling Demonstration to be done by purchasing store [1], Texas does not.

California does not allow certain handguns to be sold in California [1][2], Texas allows all handguns to be sold.

California has one handgun, one semiautomatic centerfire rifle per 30 days purchase restriction, [1] Texas does not.

California has ammo purchase checks [1], Texas does not.

California has assault weapon ban, [3], Texas does not.

[3] https://oag.ca.gov/ogvp/fed-assault-weapons-ban

Now we can talk about Fast and Furious and how dumb it was (So dumb) but acting like Texas and California are same when it comes to gun laws is just wrong.

While this may be true, i can do you one better. Personally know of someone who has multiple commercial side endeavors of varying successes, while working there, so it is doable...
I’m inclined to agree with you.

Having a great product is meaningless if you can’t get people to buy it.

If you’re a one person shop, you need to learn the skills needed.
Starting with my undergrad but fully committing to it by grad school, I (and several of my friends who went through similar programs in math/cs) have a strategy that uses this. If, for example, I had a new problem set in a math course, I would bash my head against it in the evening for an hour or two. I'd make an honest attempt but move on from problems quickly if I got stuck. I'd rarely get much done. Then, I'd do my best to get a good night's sleep (at least 7.5 hours quality sleep). In the morning I'd try the problems again first thing after coffee, and frequently found that I could do a significant portion of the problems, or at least make headway. This might be biased by the fact that I'm really much more of a morning person to begin with, but I know several people who use this strategy.
doesn't Keka already support 7-zip (as well as lieky any other format you may encounter)?
I'm not sure what you mean by "better-quality shed" but cabinet sizes today are often less than 1 cubic meter. I guess you know that, but thought it might surprise some people.

One cabinet doesn't really replace a multi-story building. Many cabinets spread out over the service area do the job. But each cabinet can perform all the functions that used to happen in the large building. They just make it economical to perform those functions for 100 - 1000 subscribers, instead of having to centralize them into a single location that serves 5,000 - 100,000.

Those cabinets are not a result of fiber. They were more a necessity of high bandwidth services without fiber. Think ADSL. Fiber actually makes it possible to go back to more centralized service while providing even more bandwidth. You can deploy passive fiber splitters in an old-fashioned pedestal and keep the active optics in the multi-story building for 100,000 subscribers again.

Maybe you meant that the active optics would only fill a small shed's worth of space in that old building. I finally caught up to you.
Maybe a small batch that was never meant to be used by scammers. For exhibition at trade fairs of for photographs? Then one dude might have thought, why not try to sell them, make a quick buck.

Yes, for the most part. But also: trust but verify

Figure out how much time you can spend on re-verifying, and do it in a random sampling basis. This will look different depending on the roles, but it’s whatever you need to do to verify, first-hand, the job is still being done correctly.

This will likely be a very small percent of your time, but the key is that it needs to be non-zero.

It's also irrelevant since you could write a native Win32 binary without and crt dependency before it.
Are they engineers if they appeal to emotions when evaluating risk ?
You are right of course. I think it was something in the wording that turned me off. It was an instinctive reaction that I now regret.

In one office I had to ground a desk chair that would build a static charge. Just a wire down the back to drag on the floor between the wheels.
Pretty sure the kids aren’t aware of the PTA’s use of Canva.
From what I’ve read I’m almost sure that some people were in fact affected. Some kind of directed energy weapon from an enemy state. There was a good article I read about it once that showed micro damage all over the brain of some victims.

However 1500 people is truly a large number. But they do say reported cases, not confirmed.
Why not just use something like Keepass in this scenario for free (forever) ?
I didn't hear about the Zuckerberg part, do you have a link to the article? I can't find it
No. Anyone trying to tamper with your laptop that had that would do the same as you and take a photo to restore.
That is the next interesting point. At the moment, you are right; there is no third-party password manager support on Windows. However, when they integrate synced passkeys, they might offer that. I think, until now, there has been no strategic value in leveraging access management for customers. Once you have a passkey in your cloud, you have a connection with a website forever (unless you revoke it). The future is an automatic login via passkeys (with user consent, of course).

What changed: Apple & Google want to enter deeper into customer connection and at the same time offer a more secure and convenient authentication for their customers.
Interesting, as I would divide my dreams up 25/25/25/25 between mundane daily experiences, the same or very similar dream, totally new situations and finally the surreal ones where you magically end up in random places and random situations.

Always figured it's a blend of taking past and recent experiences and re-ordering them, with a hint of hypothetical scenarios for the future.

The "flicker" sounds like a good A/B test for the hypothetical while the replays are good for memorisation.

I can often tell when I'm dreaming when it comes to the more hypothetical ones due to dodgy physics or whatever (try nipping my face and can't feel anything) so I'm probably buggering that process up a bit. Maybe an INTJ trait. I remember doing that as a kid and being able to fly, but nowadays often I can't get beyond 10 metres above ground. Been rate limited.
Yeah, the thought has occurred to me. But I’m only going to be there for a few years, the responsible thing is to do something that’ll survive long after I’m gone.
It's a shame, really, that QT didn't have a GNU loved license more early. In a better timeline, we could have skipped GTK, Gnome, and have a unified desktop UI. Right now, Gnome is the darling of Red Hat and GNU, and we all lost for it.
I don't think it's a problem when it's real, but for a long time, people with a variety of disabilities have been fighting to find ways they can contribute to society, not using it as an excuse not to have to.

I don't have data on it, but there does feel like there's been a cultural shift to seeking exemption from the expectation that one contributes to society to the extent that one is able.

I think what the strivers have noticed is that there's an inherent dignity that accompanies contributing what you can. People have compassion for people who are making efforts despite their challenges.

But if there's a cultural shift away from expecting an attempt to contribute, people who would otherwise want to get the message that it's not worth it to provide them the support they would need. People would rather just subsidize their lives entirely than take on the more complicated task of helping them work, even when the work does end up net-positive after the help.

Do you know of any performance comparisons vs. PyPy? I find it works extremely well as a drop-in replacement for CPython when only the built-in modules are needed, which should generally hold for awk-like use cases. Yet some brief searching doesn't seem to yield any numbers.

Why are you building an unscientific average from a tiny baised sample, when you already found a survey result?
It certainly is a lot more ambiguous than absolute free speech, yes. I think your example would still count as hate speech inciting violence against black people. The Nazi one I'm not sure off the top of my head, to be honest.
Ask HN: To what extent is PMF a function of good marketing
When listening to YC videos or general startup talk online I see the idea that you know you have Product Market Fit when you feel an overwhelming amount of growth that you can’t handle.

The Stripe founders said they knew they had it when a customer sent them brownies to get off the waitlist for a feature. Obviously, Stripe had built an amazing product that resonated with users but how much of that success was from a good product vs. good marketing/network effects?

I imagine there are many products out there that people have given up on even if it was able to reach PMF just because nobody knew about it.

Yes, Keka and The Unarchiver are other free options, but they don't support previewing the contents of the archive and dragging out only the things you want to extract.

I'm also going to be adding features to update the archive so you can just drag and drop new files into the archive in addition to renaming files and moving them around inside of the archive (and deleting files).
But temples are almost uniquely good for construction companies.

- the more ornate, the better

- unlike palaces, every town needs at least one, and if you're polytheistic, so much the better

- extremely price-insensitive clients who are content to wait generations

- you can probably easily bulldoze both structures and local opinions that get in the way of construction because you're building for a cause everyone's supposed to worship
Macs have great hardware (as in, great display and a great touchpad - and the best thing is the computer wakes from sleep when you open the lid, every time; I don't particularly care about the M-series except that it runs super duper cool for how fast it is).

That said I've been tooting the horn that they are not good software development machines for about 2 years now (incidentally matches exactly with when I got a work macbook pro).
For some jobs, hours worked isn't a practical measure of productivity or value. I used to pick orders in a warehouse. The more hours I worked, the more orders they shipped, the more orders they could take, the more profit they could reap.

Now I work as a data analyst. I have some required duties spelled out in my position description, plus a catch-all "requests from other divisions as assigned." If I'd spend more hours working, nothing would really change. The only guaranteed value for each hour they're paying me is having me on call that hour. Which is worth something, I guess, but good luck calculating it.
So by your measure, would Hacker News be spam for websites and blogs?
I was watching one of those performance science podcasts (Hubermann, I think) and I do believe he said that if you take a cold shower immediately after learning, it increases the likelihood that you'll remember it. So I wonder if the optimal learning pattern would be learn > cold shower > sleep.

Don't quote me though, as it's been awhile.
Maybe it’s survivorship bias, but why do most famous tech and finance companies have this trait in common?
The article seems to just be a call to change how society views depression. But is there any science here? The premise that depression is not a deviation from normal functioning, but rather a biologically rooted response could be applied to any behavior. Indeed, it can be applied to the societal opprobrium towards depressed people, which exists across cultures. Maybe that’s just a biologically rooted response that protects society at large? That’s equally plausible if you posit that just because a psychological phenomenon exists it must serve some function.
Not all musicians consider "close to perfect" a virtue. I suspect that outside of western classical and pop music it's quite rare. Certainly the music I listen to isn't anything like that.
This is a huge infrastructure problem worldwide. Understanding which bridges have problems, how often they need monitoring, and how to monitor them is a huge challenge. Let alone how to pay for it.
I prefer wireless locally, and wired when traveling.

I use a two inexpensive LG neckband style wireless headsets during workout, short (under 4 hour flight); and whatever I can get my hands on flat wired headset, for long flights.

Loss of buds: I have seen too many travelers freak out with their earbuds dropping on the floor on trains, planes, and taxis. With the wireless neckband and wired sets, there is much less chance of losing them, and even if I lose them the cost is minimal.

Battery runs out: I have yet to have a wireless headset that can do a good job on long flights. They will run out of juice, specially if I turn on noise cancellation.

Battery concerns: At several airports, I have to pull the wireless headsets out and place them separately because (justified or not) concerns over battery fires and "technology". No one cares about wired headsets.

Microphones: I have yet to experience small, portable wireless headsets (not headphones) that have good enough microphones without a boom. Even the "inline" microphones for wired headsets often out-do wireless earbuds and similar.

Size: Unless I use earbuds of some sort, a full around and even over the ear wireless headsets are significantly larger than some small wireless in-ear solution. When traveling size and weight counts. Earbuds although significantly smaller, they still have the charging pod/box that make them larger.

The flat wired headsets just rarely tangle, and easy to fold. I can shovel one (or more) in any pocket, not have to worry about batteries, batteries exploding, and recharging.

I do like the freedom of wireless when working out.

Q: Anyone uses earbuds for conference calls? The biggest issues for me are either they cannot hear me, the background noise is too much, or they die too fast. I would welcome some suggestions. It would need to be able to pair with Android, iOS and PC. Thanks!
I appreciate it! Would you mind sharing the name of it? I might've come across it while building Parkt.
This is good stuff, thanks for sharing
How the hell do they do that?
As someone who's had numerous grand battles with both, I find that SQLAlchemy's overall design philosophy gives you more precise control over both the generated SQL, and the lifecycle of each query/transaction/connection; you get to choose exactly how much abstraction you need for the task, but it won't hide things from you where you MUST make a conscious decision. I find it's also a better choice of the two, if you're writing something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with web whatsoever (e.g. a DB-backed desktop app), as you don't have to drag in a whole kitchen sink just to drink a glass of water; but you may also want to investigate something lighter than SQLAlchemy for that use-case.

Meanwhile Django's ORM just does the job perfectly fine in the 99% common case, and for the 1%, again 99% of the time it has enough escape hatches to solve the hard problems without making things excessively complicated. But $DEITY save you if you're in that 0.01%...
This is the fundamental distinction yes.

Performance is about doing something exactly right the first time on the night. Concert musicians, sportspeople, firefighters, surgeons, airline pilots, and military personnel all operate to a greater extent under this kind of constraint. When you are called upon to perform, you need to get it right. So you train and practice and drill to make sure you have all the basics down, and you rehearse and prepare for the specific performance you expect to do next.

Knowledge work is specifically work that is not like that. It’s work that will involve evaluating information and making decisions and incorporating novel insights and it doesn’t have to be right first time - there’s room for iteration and experimentation and bouncing ideas around.

Now, there are parts of some of those performance oriented jobs that require improvisation and creativity and evaluation on the fly - and there are parts of more knowledge-work jobs that require well drilled fundamentals (think about incident response in software operations). So the reality is these jobs all fall on a spectrum between structured performance and freewheeling discovery.

But asking ‘why don’t we rehearse how to do knowledge work?’ is nonsensical, knowledge work is precisely that work that involves incorporating and applying knowledge to do - the only way learn how to do it is by doing it.
Replying again, the inconsistency seems to be because their cert is fine over IPv6 but IPv4 is still showing expired. That’s a very strange setup y’all have there NIST.

Once you are diagnosed with a psychiatric issue, everything else you complain to the doctor about is hypochondria. As a male with a serious mood disorder, I feel your pain.
Just because you know exactly what you mean (which in itself could be questioned), it's just ridiculous to expect anyone else to.

FWIW where I'm from and in my social circles, the other two religions get joked about way more.
LLM Merging Competition: Building LLMs Efficiently Through Merging
> never send credentials over plaintext, such as email or Slack

Slack works for us in a very small (<5) number of trusted long-time remote devs, but with two important conditions:

1. New/updated password(s) to be shared are in an encrypted Keypass file (encrypted with a preset and prearranged password that was only shared once offline). Recipient merges into their local keypass file.

2. Confirm recipient is online, send, confirm receipt, delete immediately afterwords.

We use many AWS services so obv all those are handled with AWS Secrets and IAM, so we only need to save the login pwd externally. And for services which support multi-user, Google, GitHub, etc., each user has their own pwd. So not many passwords need to be shared in the above manner. In daily use I keep KeyPass open and copy/paste passwords into the browser when needed -- nothing stored online.
> How would you activate certain voice commands if it wasn't listening to all?

One common implementation is to use a locally detected wake word (described in another post), but I've also seen many which require you to hold down a button to speak voice commands. Both solutions answer your technical question satisfactorily.

However, this is how I (and most people) expect voice commands will work based on plain reading of the fine print: the voice commands will be transmitted, but it won't establish 24/7 audio surveillance of your house.

The fine print (and therefore the "explicit" "consent" so obtained) is deceptive and fraudulent.

---

However your real concern is apparently a trust question, not a technical question. The technical question was apparently just a distraction.

Obviously if you don't trust the implementer not to lie about their implementation (ie you assume fraud at the outset), then any microphone (or speaker for that matter!) could be a 24/7 listening bug regardless of trigger implementation or EULA fine print. I see that in another reply you already moved the goalposts thusly.[1] ;)
