That sounds like (sounds like at least) a breath of fresh air to be honest. Conflicts are very important to deal with and yet are a second-class concept in Git. And if you primarily use rebase you have to rely on git-rerere. And if you screw up a rebase? I guess you just `git rerere forget` one of those stored files? But what if you forget that it was slightly messed up? Well I guess it might just lie around as an opaque “conflict cache” resolution.

At least I can use `git show --remerge diff` on a merge commit that had a conflict. That gives some after-the-fact insight.
Inter quickly became my go-to sans serif font for the web. In A/B tests it somehow always looks better than anything, frequently by wide margins—which is saying something when you’re basically running through a dozen variations on Helvetica.
That's not compelling. When these molecules come naturally, they come with other ingredients that often complement or offset the positive or negative effects. Another aspect of naturally made food is it is much harder to "overdose" simply by eating.

It's amazing how such a simple and obviously true rule of thumb gets overthought.
While I acknowledge that the project was without effective leadership over the past 2 years, I'd appreciate if you wouldn't mix up "willingness to merge" with the ability to do so.

There are a lot of pending changes that I simply cannot review or verify easily since I don't have the hardware the driver is written for. Asking for help has never really been met with much enthusiasm, unfortunately.

Either way, I'll get to these as soon as I can and help is definitely welcome.
The links at the top of the page did not work in Firefox. The get started link only leads to a login wall. How does it work?
Make sure the bandwidth exists to keep up with the write speed of the LTO drive. For instance, the write speed for LTO-6 (which I own as a hobbyist) is around 300MB/s, but line speed of gigabit Ethernet is about 100MB/s. Translate those numbers to LTO-9 and make sure that the NAS, network, or local storage can keep up. It's not a deal-breaker to underflow the drive, but it causes the tape to stop, rewind, and re-buffer (called shoe-shining) which takes more time and causes unnecessary wear on the drive and cartridges.
Daedalus - excellent game! The devs have since made Red Matter (and Red Matter 2), just as beautiful but otherwise more conventional.

There is still a lot of indie energy exploring the possibilities of VR. For cool environment you can find a lot in VRChat. For mechanics there are things like Monkey Tag (new motion mechanic) or Silent Slayer on Quest (experimenting with MR).

Total spending is not something that gets reported very often. I've seen the numbers for Finland but not for other countries. In the US, consumer spending seems to be ~70% of GDP, but I can't find any numbers for business spending.
Iron mountain also provides services like source code escrow.

With 2 parties involved in the data, you may want to impose additional restrictions regarding how and when it can be replicated. The party requesting escrow clearly has interest in the source being as durable as possible, but the party providing the source may not want it to be made available across an array of dropbox-style online/networked systems just to accommodate an unlikely black swan event.

A compromise could be to require that the source reside on the original backup media with multiple copies and media types available.

Back in the 2000s the Australian government provided software that ran on Windows to prepare and submit your personal tax return. I used to archive my tax return by preparing it in a Windows VM, then storing the whole VM image.
So then nothing done by anyone throughout history can ever be considered exploitative because you can go back and point to a slightly older period in history?
There are several articles about film preservation in digital format. Every X years all the data is "upgraded", from LTOn to LTOn+1 or +2.

So all the administration’s policies are actually favorable to Tesla, but the president said something in August 2021 that offended Musk and he holds a grudge.

Perfectly normal decision-making process for a CEO of a company with $700B market cap. You’d think he would have noticed by now that American politicians have to say things to please swing state voters.

Reasonable people can disagree on this, but I don't think that resentment towards the richest man in the world or a perceived need to "put him in his place" is worth self-sabotaging your civilization's position on something as important as space.

Americans may not feel it as keenly, but here in Central Europe, we have a visceral feeling that a new period of wars is upon us. Ukraine, the Near East, Taiwan: everything converging like back in 1938-9. Authoritarians all over the world feel emboldened. And, at the same time, the West is weaker than it was, not least because of loss of industrial capacity. Space is one of the few industries where we still command some advantage, and 2/3rds of that advantage is concentrated in SpaceX.

Yeah, I don't think that sacrificing that advantage to personal dislike of Musk is worth it. Even though I agree that he is obnoxious.
Fun fact. If you increment each letter of VMS by one, you get WNT. If that isn't on purpose, it's a convenient coincidence.
That means the hardware and the file format.
Fun fact, the original has no dialogue. I think only the Dutch version is dubbed.
For coding problems specifically, you could get quite far by giving the model a the tool-use of a sandboxed compiler/interpreter (perhaps even with your project files already loaded into the sandbox); and then training the model to test its own proposed solutions in the sandbox and revise them until they actually produce the expected outputs.
It is certainly possible, but also implies a complex mix of different income types and very specific national pairing.

The usual case where there is a tax treaty is that the expat pays taxes at the rate of the country in which they work. It's really that simple for most people.
If you're suggesting the government should not be able to exert violence because corporations aren't, I'm listening but I suspect you haven't thought this through.

Someone was able to translate portions of the Voynich Manuscript but has unfortunately removed his videos. I found a bit more info here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/voynich/comments/ev9h5v/does_anyone...

This gist is that nomadic Romani people settled around Syria and wrote it. The language and writing is a blend of several languages and cultures. The evidence in the videos backs this up pretty well.

> Even the camera quality could be improved with post-processing like upscaling and color correction, which have somewhat recently become much better.

Sorry, but this is the one feature I hate (not being able to turn off) on today's phones. All the wannabe HDR, noise reduction, upscaling, color corrections that make the pictures look plasticky and overly colorful and just plain kitsch when compared to the same scene taken with a 10-15yo pocket camera.

I know multiple people whose cancer was successfully cured (or, at least, treated) in the healthcare system you can "unavailable". The systems in Europe typically focus more efforts on critical care (like cancers), and less so on mere annoyances, hence the queues for non-critical stuff. Compare that with the US, where for a sizable portion of population, treating their cancer leads to being bankrupt and homeless.
After looking a while at the 1 degree rotated <div>s, even HN feels tilted. It's a nice effect, but I would only use it as an animation while hovering (i.e. animate from 0 degree to 1 degree rotation, if you must. Otherwise, don't do it to keep the interface clean). Personally, I would leave out all animations, unless they visually help the user with a certain task.

And since you're asking, here's a few things that come to mind regarding the design:

- Stick to one font family. There seems no need to semantically distinguish different parts of the text; the use of font size and decoration already take care of that. I would keep the Bricolage Grotesque and ditch the monospace font.

- It should be interesting to read the stories on the main page, but in the current setting, three columns (on 1920x1080) feels to crowded. Two columns seems to be okay for that screen size, but perhaps three columns work as well if the padding is a bit different (see next point).

- Try fiddling around with the left and right padding in the quotation blocks, as well as text justification. On smaller screens, there's about three to four words on each line, and lots of empty space.

- The ten "things to do" are identically styled as the call to action buttons ("Share your story" in the menu bar, "Start doing things that don't scale"), but there's no action involved. I think the quotation block style would be better: blue background, yellow title (e.g. "Ask for help and referrals"), white text (e.g. "Leverage your network for initial users and incentivize them to refer others to rapidly expand your user base."). The user can easily distinguish the important stuff (title) from the accompanying explanation, and it doesn't look clickable.

And some other nits:

- A few "Source" links are broken.

- Privacy Policy gives a 404.

- On the /startups page, I already forgot what the ten recommendations were. Perhaps add ten filters that automatically select the stories that involve the particular recommendation.

- Does the epicness scale go from 1 (low) to 10 (high) (or 5 it seems?)
Which one do you enjoy more?

How does that affect your decision?

Do you need to delegate?

Can you eliminate positions that require supervision?

Is the level of supervision appropriate? Are you requiring more than "good enough?"
I take it that's supposed to be the pre-loading page to just look at the requests, not a full working UI?

After cursory googling I couldn't find one, do you have a public notebook gallery?

> if a human does it, then truth becomes "self-expression" (art) so we call it creativity and it's good.

Depends. Once I misremembered the usage of the command "ln", and I wiped ~10 machines inadvertently.

Nobody called it self-expression / art, and none of the results of my little "experiment" were good.

Do it a couple of times, and you'll be updating your CV.
There has been a lot of progress in that front over time.

Unironically the standaline headsets also help because the most vertigo-inducing thing is to run PCVR with an underpowered PC. It makes you nauseous before you consciously notice the skipped frames etc.
Would give it a shot for stuff I’m working on but the free plan is too limited with only 1000 records and the paid plan is deceptively priced. It’s not $5 per user, it’s $25 if you only need one user.
How do you handle updates, manually?
They're not actually on strike yet, and they haven't requested any action from customers. Sometimes a union actually wants customers to behave as normal, because typical customer behavior in concert with a work stoppage will apply the most pressure to management. Sometimes they ask customers to boycott, to apply financial pressure. Sometimes, though rarely, a union will ask customers to threaten to divest or cancel accounts.

The best way to make sure you're in step with what the union is asking for from customers is to keep an eye on whatever they seem to be using to communicate the most - in this case, it seems to be their twitter: https://x.com/NYTGuildTech. I think it's fair to assume that if they have any requests for customers of NYT, they'll put them there.

In a future where the world keeps getting better, would it be fair that "exploitative" could fall to such a weak use? By your logic, that would be acceptable.
Beat Saber doesn't contradict the hyper violent games given how many VR games are shooters.

Beat Saber just happens to have a intuitive controls and no motion sickness because of the stationary game play.

But it's mainly considered as an introduction to VR gaming not it's final form.
Yes, but from reading it sounds like California is a bit of a poison pill and will go at length to try and say you still live there. I've read of cases where even living in another state for 6+ months, drivers license moved over, no property in California, wasn't enough.

Not sure how they get away with it really, small volume I guess.
I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. There is a huge reason big tech can afford those compensation packages for employees, and the vast majority of companies can simply not afford that.

As someone who's been both a union member and on the management side, it's frustrating when all sides don't realize that unions don't magically make money available to distribute to employees. There is certainly the argument that money needs to be distributed more equitably, but in a lot of cases (having seen this directly) there is simply not much money to move around.

Certainly, I'd love it if Google's never-ending money spigot was available to all.
> So as long as the level of exploitation decreases

This Is America, so we have a long way to go in this regard. Attempting to denigrate this specific example of workers flexing their rights is anti worker rhetoric, plain and simple. Arguing over coffee is bikeshedding. If you as a worker don't have a union, you have no protections from an org, its management, and shareholders. If one does not support them, that's fine, support of the minority is not needed. Popular support for unions continues to be high (historically) @ ~70%, so Labor Mode continues.

There is no other solution to the brutalist US labor market, from first principles.

What are their demands?

And, cynically, is anyone even going to notice that they are striking? Seems unlikely, to be honest.
Looks nice, both the site and the app! The first thought I had though was, here's a central place where potentially hundreds, thousands, perhaps tens of thousands (or more, depending on how successful you are) of database credentials are stored. Your https://visualdb.com/datasecurity/ page says "Database credentials are encrypted before being stored" but how do I know that? Encrypted how? This equates to "I pinky promise I won't get hacked, and even if I do, all your passwords would be impossible to crack anyways". Security-conscious users probably will need a bit more than that. Any thoughts on using other authentication methods?

Edit: as other commenters have mentioned, an on-prem version would certainly ease concerns a bit.
There are a relatively limited set of high-value target platforms: MS DOS (still in some use), Win95, WinNT and successor versions. Perhaps additionally a few Linux or BSD variants.

Note that it's possible to share some of that infrastructure by various mechanisms (e.g., union mounts, presumably read-only), so that even where you want apps sandboxed from one another, they can share OS-level resources (kernel, drivers, libraries).

At a user level, sandboxing presumes some shared file space, as in "My Files", or shared download, or other spaces.

Drag-and-drop through the GUI itself would tend to be independent of file-based access, I'd hope.
Yeah, sorry should have made that more clear. This doesn’t really load anything, it’s just the entry point for our iframe. To try our notebooks you can create an account at portal.singlestore.com (we have a gallery of notebooks there)
A little nitpick about:

The number of looks correlates with a higher resolution.

Yes and no. When you task an image, you usually (as is the case with Umbra) specify your desired ground resolution, eg. 25, 50, 100 cm, etc. There are two dimensions in a SAR image: range and azimuth. Range resolution is determined by the SAR system bandwidth. Azimuth resolution is determined by the integration angle (the angle formed between your target and your satellite from start to end of the collection).

Let's assume you want a 50 cm image. Your range resolution will be equal to that and, in a 1-look image, your native azimuth resolution will also be 50 cm. What happens when you request a multi-looked image, is that the satellite will collect data over your target for a longer amount of time (and thus over a greater angle diversity). Range resolution will not change; however, in the natural ("native") image, you get asymmetrical pixels: taking the same target resolution of 50 cm, a 2-looks image will have a 25 cm azimuth resolution. For 3-looks, ~16 cm. And so on.

What then happens during the processing of derived products (eg. GEC) is that the pixels are squared: to do that, you have to average out the pixels in the azimuth dimension. This greatly improves what is called the radiometric resolution (ie. how much information a pixel contains), by cancelling out the speckle and averaging the noise. But for all intents and purposes, on a multi-looked image (which is what the GEC products that you use are), spatial resolution remains the same, square pixel.

[SAR nerds here: I am not mentioning the slant-range-to-ground-range process, and I am also ignoring the resolution vs. sampling distinction for simplicity]
Two party consent is for wire tapping, eg, monitoring electronic communications. If they're monitoring meat-space communications, it's possible that wire tapping laws don't apply in the first place in most jurisdictions. Like an Alexa device.

Those are not health outcomes, but merely services KPAs. The KPAs may be better, because a portion of population can't afford the services, so they don't have to be serviced at all.
I'm not familiar with regulations on strikes, if any. That aside, you don't need to be exploited to have a moral reason to go on strike. A strike is roughly equivalent to a mass layoff, but from the employee side. We hear often how employers can let people go "for no reason, at any time", so the same should apply to employees. Employees can "let go" of the employer for no reason, at any time, and agree or not to "rehire" the employer "at will".

Please note that I'm not supporting or criticizing this particular strike. I'm just saying that if we understand unions (at least voluntary ones) as a way to increase employees' bargaining power, they should be able to engage in cutthroat, "Greed is good" negotiation under free markets; all they need is to feel that they can get more, irrespective of what they have.
> Don't they take the amount of time they need in order to ensure safety

I think the perception is that they spend all their time calling the meeting to order, identifying participants, itemizing the agenda, breaking for lunch, slowly reading a checklist of procedures, reconvening after a formal proposal for investigation takes place, etc. etc., eventually followed by about 48 hours of actual review activities. The typical bureaucratic process.
More realistically, employees get a small bonus for filing a patent. It might not be at all what direction my domain is interested in, but if I can convince the patents department that it’s novel and useful, I’ll push it.
I do appreciate your contribution but I'd also like you to ask for some understanding of the project's struggle as well. Aside from the loss of members due to personal interests shifting, the project has to make sure that all changes do not introduce regressions. We do not possess all the hardware that the drivers support, so when someone wants to change the code that affects multiple devices, we have to be very careful and thorough to make sure that these changes don't make other devices supported by that driver stop working.

Sometimes, when the changes are too big to make a decision by code review alone, we need to rely on user feedback. Unfortunately, this is always a challenge as there aren't a lot of users around who are willing to test changes.

I hope to improve the situation by allowing the CI/CD pipeline to provide binaries for PRs so users don't have to build from source.

Either way, your efforts aren't wasted and I appreciate anyone wanting to help out.
I made something like this for my kids:

1. Take a science book. I used one Einstein loved as a kid, in German. But I can also use Asimov in English. Or anything else. We’ll handle language and outdated information on the LLM level.

2. Extract the core ideas and narrative with an LLM and rewrite it into a conversation, say, between a curious 7 year old girl and her dad. We can take into account what my kids are interested in, what they already know, facts from their own life, comparisons with their surroundings etc. to make it more engaging.

3. Turn it into audio using Text-to-Speech (multiple voices).
There is no such slippery-ness or slippage. The system is fundamentally assessable with basic accounting and Econ 101. No, the 401k is not a coup. No, class-warfare advocates cannot fundamentally create value, improve the economy, or the better state of individual well-being—-either temporarily or permanently—-by wealth transfer, and their efforts typically result in gross infringement of human rights. Typically in history these wealth transfers have greatest negative impact against the middle- and lower- tiers of wealth. The study of the encomiendas in Columbia is perhaps somewhat insightful.
Can you give more specifics?
