Software engineer generalist mainly focused on the front-end.

My specialty is helping small/medium size companies that needs to move quickly. But I'm open to work on projects of any size.

Happy to take "one off" projects that only last a day or have an indefinite timespan.
That is an answer for an incredibly tiny fraction of the population. I'm not so much concerned about myself than society in general, and self-hosting just is not a viable solution to the problem at hand.
It looks great, I hope Musk moves there soon.
It sounds like from your perspective, being better looking than their co-workers is a good thing. By and large, men are going to find women better looking than other men. That means the "better looking" comment is directly pointing out that the recipient of the comment is a woman.

This article is talking specifically about the ways in which it is detrimental to be a tradeswoman. So in this context, being a woman makes it more difficult for this person to their job.

Looking at another example of something that would make being a tradesperson difficult: Would you call it harassment if customers were consistently making flippant remarks about a co-worker that was missing a hand?
Most discussions of immigration I've seen seem to be fixated on a subset of illegal immigrants. i.e. talk of border walls (only between US/Mexico, never seen discussion of US/Canada) when most illegal immigrants are coming via boring methods like through ports of entry and on commercial airplanes.
I'm inclined to agree with you. At the same time, I don't think Kamala should have spent some of the limited time she had cozying up to people who wouldn't vote for her, antagonizing her base, and for the most part sidelining the people she had to convince.
Seeing adults pretending not to notice differences is also shocking, funny too.
Oh, definitely. Those are, generally speaking, the places where it's most important that you can do so: the People's Republic of China, North Korea, Afghanistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, etc. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cryptocurrency_by_.... But it's legal in almost all of the world, and fairly easy, while opening an account with a NASDAQ-listed broker is near impossible for most people.
That’s like saying why can’t Toyota made a car that competes with Koenigsegg. One is on the absolute bleeding edge of everything and the other sells more cars than anyone else.
Mmouais, quesque j'ai dit? C'est pas comme ça qu' on represente les matrices en Prolog. Pas comme une liste mais comme un terme qu' on utilise comme un tableau 2d (array) en row-major ordre. Sinon c'est le bordel.

J'ai une implementation la dedans:

https://github.com/stassa/ijclr_2024_experiments/tree/master...

Mais c'est un peut partout, dans deux ou trois fichiers, pas facile a trouver.

En tout cas, c'est pas une bonne exercise pour Prolog, une matrice. J'aurais preferrer une balanced heap, par example.

Et avec des transposees en plus. Non mais il est debile le prof?

Apologies for the lack of proper punctuation :)
absolutely, without sso, I can't even try it. Our policies don't allow using a password.
Earth solar cells are thick and heavy mostly because of the protective glass, frames, etc.

The actual silicon is under a millimeter thick, and presumably could be made even thinner.

On Mars, with a super thin atmosphere, there may be no need to protect the cells. Just laying plain cells on the ground might prove cheapest. Sure, they'd be super fragile (imagine potato chips the size of a person and how hard they would be to lay flat on the ground without breaking) and you'd probably have to come up with special techniques to lay them whilst breaking as few as possible.

Wiring is probably the next heaviest component. But with no atmosphere, there is no need for wires to be waterproof or have insulation. Wires could be bare aluminium.
I build Booksmind because I believe AI can help us to grasp the great ideas from one or multiple books more efficiently. Let me know whether you agree or what additional features that you might expect.
Recent history I presume because obviously if you bought at $5 your return is still quite nice. Although, GP suggests you’d now be better of selling btc and buying the index to optimize future returns.
Strange that this exists. Polish also has dz(it's the same phoneme), along with dź, dż, sz, cz, all of which use Title case in, among other instances, acronyms (e.g. RiGCz), but I'm not aware of any special code points for them - dz is definitely always spelled as d-z.
RFK says some wild stuff, but he does have a track record of being pretty vicious with large corporations that threaten public health.

I am scared of him cutting a bunch of vaccines, but I am excited that he will go after food manufacturers who have been maximizing profits at the cost of public health.
Ok, but the more interesting part - how did you solve the CI/CD part and how does it compare to a multirepo?
There wasn't a Switch Advanced/Pro or anything like that though. There's the Switch and Switch Lite, the Lite can't attach to a TV and the controllers are fused to the system.
trump is the most anti-war president of my lifetime, i don't know how anyone is accusing him of using or misusing the military.

what is it specifically about a second term that allows him to rig all future elections? what is different this time that wasn't true in 2016?
Show HN: I made an AI tool to turn long videos into short viral clips
Hello NH!

Three months ago, after finishing university, I started a project called Cyclips. I started it both to help my brother with his content creation and to challenge myself in new ways. Initially, I thought I could finish it in one month, but it ended up taking three. Those three months were among the most intense of my life; I spent 16-hour days working solo as an indie hacker. Along the way, I faced discouragement from people around me who suggested I should quit and that my efforts were in vain. But I didn’t give up, and I’m grateful for pushing through and persevering.

Cyclips is a free tool (with video size limitation for free users, with HD output) built with Next.js and FastAPI, alongside frameworks like RabbitMQ and Redis. The backend turned out to be more complex than I’d anticipated. I had to learn and integrate new technologies, such as wav2vec for precise timestamp alignment, as well as OpenAI’s Whisper and other APIs to handle transcription and analysis.

Here’s how Cyclips works: Users can log into the dashboard and input a YouTube video link (with plans to support more platforms in the future). The software then analyzes the video, identifies engaging topics, and automatically generates potential viral clips. It also uses face detection for auto-cropping and adds auto-generated subtitles. To top it off, there’s a clean, interactive video editor to refine your clips to perfection.

I’d love to hear your feedback!

I am pretty sure that many bad people voted for Trump. It wouldn't be rational to vote for Harris just because one particular person endorsed Trump. I don't actually think you're irrational, just wanted to note that you apparently felt like you needed an excuse to justify your voting for Trump.

> We don't let kids get tattoos, buy a beer, have sex, get married until a certain age, but somehow we let them medically transition at 6 years old?

You specifically said "18 years old". And now that it is convenient for you, you bring that limit down to 6 years old?

In many countries in the world it's perfectly normal to get tattoos, buy beers and have sex before 18 years old.
> While Mozilla Foundation declined to quantify the number of people being let go... The Register understands the current headcount is closer to 120, so presumably around 36 people stand to lose their jobs.

Compared to their other investments, how much money are they actually saving by doing this?
Yes. In my opinion, it's clearly been a wasted effort to try to convince the rest of the country those rights are important. They need to be defended where they can, and the states that defend them need to separate themselves more and more from their parent country. Secession is silly, at least today. If what you're saying comes to pass—and it could even without what I'm suggesting—then at that point secession is the only correct answer.

Either way, it doesn't make sense to spend effort where it's not making a difference.

EDIT: Another part of this idea that I struggle with, is that we shouldn't ask people who aren't accepted to stay in places where they aren't accepted. They deserve rights. They should go to places where they can get them, and we should get them out of the places that don't respect them. And doing that, which I think is the moral thing to do, leads to what you're describing.
we're for all practical purposes immune to the awful policies that are being put in place.

this is probably not going to pan out. Trump's become the figurehead for an organized and motivated movement to completely dismantle the administrative state. nobody's going to be immune to the effects of that. Project 2025 includes shutting down the weather service, even to the point of privatizing tornado warnings. he's also talked many times about replacing the entire income tax system with hefty tariffs, which literally hundreds of economists say would be a disastrous move.

they're also talking about a national abortion ban. you might indeed be old enough for that not to affect your life any more, but if you have extended family, it will affect someone you care about, guaranteed.

last but not least, Trump's stated goal of mass deportation would require intense surveillance, broad leeway for law enforcement agencies, and drastically reduced civil liberties protections. once you've got that, you can target a lot of people. a site like Twitter is going to have a lot of data about political inclinations, and cultural factors like sexuality or race that can get you targeted politically.

the real problem that got Trump in office was normalcy bias. what we're dealing with is so bad that if you tell people who don't already know, they assume you're exaggerating.
weld prettiness != weld goodness. I am not saying she is god's gift to welding, but without actual testing, a cross section, and xray, you cannot judge accurately.

This is why safety critical welds are xray inspected, checked for cracks, etc. Not clear if her diploma included some certs, but those typically will include a bend test and/or xray.
If you're going to correct someone snarkily, don't make a similar mistake...
Without indicating my personal feelings on monorepo vs polyrepo, or expressing any thoughts about the experience shared here, I would like to point out that open-source projects have different and sometimes conflicting needs compared to proprietary closed-source projects. The best solution for one is sometimes the extreme opposite for the other.

In particular many build pipelines involving private sources or artifacts become drastically more complicated than their those of publicly available counterparts.
hmm.... I do think it can be extended to work outside of just the VSCode environment.

If you look at the sidecar side of things: https://github.com/codestoryai/sidecar/blob/ba20fb3596c71186... these are the main APIs we use

On the editor side: https://github.com/codestoryai/ide/blob/0eb311b7e4d7d63676ad...

These are the access points we need

The binary is fairly agnostic to the environment, so there is a possibility to make it work elsewhere.
Its a bit non trivial but I would be happy to brainstorm and talk more about this
If healthy people could opt out of insurance, it would get really expensive for the not-so-healthy. That's why mandatory insurances are quite common.

Wheter it's a good idea to do this via private for-profit insurance and healthcare is another question. I prefer to just pay it via taxes.
So taking the first character of a word and uppercasing it is wrong because you'd get "dzen" -> "DZen".

I really wish the Unicode consortium would learn to say "No". If you added a three-letter letter to your alphabet, you can probably make do with three lettets in your text files.

There's so many characters with little to no utility and weird properties that seem to exist just to trip up programs attempting to commit the unforgivable sin of basic text manipulation.
I am a man. I don’t know who this “we” is you speak of. Sure as hell isn’t me or my friends.

Assholes exist everywhere, but “we” don’t have to apologize for them or make the workplace a safer space for them.
I don’t know. There are plenty of places where you don’t have gasoline to fill up a plastic bottle (which is how they do it in most of the developing world), but a water wheel generating electricity from glacier run off.

Steady hands and a good rhythm are helpful.

I won the top welding student award at my high school. The competition wasn't great. Mostly, I just didn't smoke a ton of pot right before class.
Your post attacking my grammar contains two grammatical errors of it's own. Can you spot them?
It is you who have no idea of what you are talking about.

Here is article 33 [0] of the (Foruth) Geneva Convention (emphasis mine):

> ART. 33. — No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.

> Pillage is prohibited.

> Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited.

Here is a summary of more international humanitarian law on the matter [1]:

> Rule 103. Collective punishments are prohibited.

> Were there more crimes than in any other war? How do you even measure and compare these things?

> As I lived through several wars, I can tell that Israeli wars, at least from my perspective as a bystander, are very mild in terms of cruelty towards both combatants and non-combatants.

> Putting things in perspective and in proportion: if Gazans were instead fighting Russians, there wouldn't have been any Gazans left in about two months since the start of the war.

This is all entirely wrong. We can even compare directly, as there is currently a Russian invasion in Ukraine in parallel to the Israeli invasion in Gaza. After almost two years, there are approximately 11 500 civilians killed in Ukraine, of which ~650 are children [2]. There are ~43 000 total killed in Gaza, of which at least ~20 500 are civilians, including more than 13 000 children [3]. Note that the population of Gaza is about 19 times smaller than that of Ukraine (~2.1 millions in Gaza, ~38 million in Ukraine).

And these are just direct deaths from the war. While Russia also has an appalling record of attacking and deliberately targeting healthcare facilities in Ukraine, Israel has destroyed every single hospital or clinic in Gaza. Russia has killed ~234 healthcare workers in Ukraine in two years of invasion [4]. Israel has killed ~765 healthcare workers killed in Gaza, in just one year of war [5].

> You couldn't be more delusional / ignorant about the subject.

Look just at the amount of people killed every year in Gaza vs Israel before this war. Please tell me how Gaza has been terrorizing Israel, when in every single year, Israel has been killing many times more people in Gaza then the terrorists have in Israel [6]. Several human rights organizations have called Gaza "an open air prison" before this war, including this UN special rapporteur [7]. In fact, I challenge you to find a single human rights organization that has done work in Gaza who doesn't consider what Israel is doing to be deeply oppressive.

Well, given the fate of Clinton and Harris, it might be safe to say Biden got lucky using the tactic.

Luntz is widely respected as a political pollster. He said, the focus groups he worked with showed she lost momentum when the name-calling started. Is that why she lost? No, there were plenty of reasons. But if Luntz said that didnt' help then there's no reason to think otherwise.
They held a primary in 2020. Kamala, Warren, Beto, Bernie and more all ran with Biden.
This was not at all a spectacular failure. This election was an uphill battle from the start.

Mitt Romney did not fail spectacularly when he couldn't beat a popular incumbent. It was impressive that he got as close as he did.

The fundamentals here were similarly harsh for Harris, just for different reasons.

> the idea that moving away is a constructive political act comes straight from Atlas Shrugged

Heh. I read Atlas Shrugged in college, and at the time I liked it pretty well. I was hungry for a book about The Big Questions.

But now, I see the protagonists saying, "these leeches keep taking advantage of me! I'm going to move to a secret town in the middle of nowhere, and deny them my genius!" And it's the most teenaged, self-important thing I've ever heard.
The Switch thankfully avoided this, but there when the "New 3DS" came out, there were a handful of games that only worked on that hardware revision.
We need prices to go down in specific places, like CA where I live.

https://www.raleys.com/product/10400953/raley_s-shredded-fou...

I was looking at the price of Lays chips and it's sitting at $6 a bag ON SALE!

https://www.raleys.com/product/30031044/lay_s-potato-chips-s...

Yes prices need to specifically go down. CA decided to DOUBLE DOWN on raising gas prices during the pandemic, and apparently they're slated to vote on another change that could raise prices by $0.45 a gallon. The world has had CHOICES to go in a specific direction, and this administration and all LEFT administrations are pushing for prices to rise, and replace all the failing families with people from China, Venezuela and whoever wants to cross the border.
> How? The torrent program needs read and write access to create whatever files it needs to, which can't be predicted ahead of time.

The same way it was handled in Firefox, for example; unveil the output dir. At least my torrent program doesn't shit files all throughout my file system. Maybe yours does?
Can I suggest that perhaps I have extensive experience with very large aws deployments and negotiations and stand by what I said.
No economist said that. Deflation refers to the behaviour of the price level. As such it isn't a property that assets can have.

One reason I think could be for AI development: you need way more memory and high-tier GPUs for AI app development/testing.
When you can't be productive yourself, you leech off the biggest thing you can, in the hope you can go un-noticed until the parasitism has been forgotten and you can convince people you are a symbiotic life form :)
> Isn't Binance by far the most widely used exchange?

Ostensibly yes. But they're overseas, so what's your recourse if something goes wrong? If you wouldn't trust a random overseas Italian bank to handle your money, don't trust Binance either.

> I think that if you're unsure you need to study the topic so you can tell which "professionals" are professional con men.

To be clear I was referring to financial advisors from the traditional financial sector. Bitcoin is big enough now that they'll have a playbook for it. Don't hire a "crypto" professional.
Not picking a side here, but didn’t he say if he lost 2020 we’d never hear from him again?
I agree with all of that but I'm not the voting block that should be seeing that and voting democrat but not. To those people it will never matter how many incremental gains the dems push through. They only see the big things not attempted or failed, that the party is once again running a uninspiring insider, that they are being told who they have to vote for because there is no other option, and that having done that last time not much in their day to day lives has improved.

I don't care about that but the people that do make or break the democratic party. Unfortunately the democrats seem incapable of learning that if you don't appeal to those people, they will lose.
As a C++ programmer, I just bought a 9900X for my first PC build. Sure, it won't game as well, but I like fast compile times, and the 9900X is on sale for $380 right now. That's $100 cheaper than the 9800X3D launch price.
But most people's anecdotal experiences with COVID amount to "It was just like having the flu, I don't see why they made such a big deal about it and banned Twitter accounts for saying things that line up with my experience"
Too bad they usurped Bernie. Now Bernie too old to run by next election. Dude was legit Bona Fide.
> I legitimately don't know where he gets his energy.

Drugs. Incoherent hour-long rants are the product of stimulants, the kind that give you the sort of terrible judgement that no one would ever want out of a presidential candidate.
>The real problem is the electorate.

How does this argument even make sense to someone with half a brain?
> deeply concerns me from a human rights perspective

What should concern you is your singular belief in propaganda that powerful entities care about human rights over their own interests.
I'm glad that more and more people start to see through the thick Apple BS (in these comments). I don't expect them to back down from this but I hope there is enough pushback that they'll be forced to add a big opt-out for all cloud compute, however "private" they make it out to be.

Your due diligence should be the same as for a financial advisor handling your USD. Bitcoin is big enough now that they'll have a playbook for it. Don't hire a "crypto" professional.
Surely insulting people by calling them "low information voters" (read as: stupid idiot) will win this time despite failing in 2016 and 2024. Also, people were at the very least offered vasectomies at the DNC rally[1], so maybe you should check your information levels, they seem to need a top-off.

Don’t worry, the purges will begin soon enough.
The DNC will learn nothing from this just as they learned nothing in 2016. They will move further rightward and will lose again.
