Masking is for view for specific users
Obviously there is a bigger picture in all of this. I don't know what the correct balance is, but assume that all problem kids (for some strict definition of problem) were expelled and placed in a "problem school". I highly doubt that is going to improve that child's life or attitude, but obviously it will help those at the previous school. So we end up with a large number of kids who will almost certainly grow up to be "problem adults", in many cases criminals. Suddenly the problem you solved for the first school is now the problem of society at large.

In a perfect world, most of those problem children would be mentored correctly in regular schools and given a path to a better adult life, and therefore not create a future "problem adult".

In practice, it doesn't seem to work like that, and I agree, "problem children" do cause frictions and disruptions and worse for other children at regular schools.
Any idea how this works in the Windows world with bitlocker?
I hope it's not same vulnerability

I recently changed motherboard on my laptop, had the bitlocker key if not I was told I'll have to reinstall Windows all over again.

Even with the key, one must decrypt and re-encrypt.
I would disagree with some of your reasoning. Workers created the wealth, and by workers I mean everyone from delivery people, software developers, managers etc.

However, due to political decisions most if not all of that wealth is shared among people at the upper levels of the hierarchy, and third party investors.

It might not feel as a problem to you, but increasing inequality has negative consequences for society as a whole. It is well documented that more unequal societies have a higher prevalence of violence and theft, which might have direct consequences for you or your environment.

It's not a joke, older DSLR cameras would often overheat when recording continuously. My good old Canon 6D would overheat once in a while when used as a webcam with v4l2loopback.
Some cameras do overheat from extended recording sessions, so depending on the model it's not entirely a joke.
Univer go -Get rid of wps&google and deploy a private spreadsheet system
The Univer team's mission is to enable all organizations and individuals to have a personalized office space. In the nearly one year since the release of the Univer SDK, we have helped dozens of companies customize their own efficiency tools based on online spreadsheets and documents. However, the Univer SDK requires users to have certain development experience (for example: you need to set up the development environment, deploy the server, etc.), which makes it unable to serve those users who have less contact with development.

Today, we are launching the Univer Go trial version, which doesn't require you to have extensive development experience, yet still allows you to have your own exclusive workspace.

Univer Go is an out-of-the-box local application that can help you or your team deploy a collaborative workspace with one click without having to worry about tedious environment settings and application deployment. If you have some JavaScript programming experience, you can also use Uniscript to customize workflows and personalize your office experience.

For example, you can customize the Gantt chart template and set the right-click menu to insert it into the spreadsheet with one click.
You can also write a server-side script to get data from the database and load it into a spreadsheet.
You can even use Univer Go to write a little snake game!
After reading so much, why not try it yourself? Please visithttps://docs.univer.ai/zh-CN/guides/go . We also provide detailed videos, graphic tutorials and pre-made templates to help you quickly get started with Univer Go.
Worth mentioning that the IT jobs crisis is mostly an US thing.
It's still relatively easy to find a dev job in Poland or many other EU countries. It's worse than before, as in bootcamps are no longer enough, but as a mid+ it's still very easy.
in my experience, this is just a very individual thing, warying from person to person. i watch a lot of movies on my own, and when i watch movies with others, i'm sometimes very surprised how much troube some people have understanding a movie.

i mean, Inception is one of those movies which is a tiny bit more difficult to understand, but i've watched it with people who had zero clue what was going on.

enough trashing other people - i loved watching Memento, but i must confess that i should watch it again, as i didn't really understand the full story while watching it.

then there are movies like tenet which just feel complicated as a gimmick, reminding me of the rick&morty copypasta, "To Be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to Understand X"

in summary, some people are good with abstract thinking and understanding, others are not.
This argument I think hints at something i regard as mysterious regarding probability as applied to the real world (as opposed to the platonic, pure math concept)

My own view is that there something deep about probability akin to the measurement problem. My view is that probability is not an objective fixed thing, but that it is something relative to the observer of experiments.
Load times I would've considered unsatisfactory in 2010 are "blazing fast" in 2025.
I have an EOS Kiss X4 (Rebel T2?) with Magic Lantern firmware. It uses the same software referenced in the article for MacOS and Windows. On Linux you can use v4l2loopback and gphoto2 but it requires loading an out of tree kernel module.
Weird. I have such a different experience with Cursor.

Most changes occur with a quick back and forth about top level choices in chat.

Followed with me grabbing appropriate interfaces and files for context so Sonnet doesn't hallucinate API, and then code that I'll glance over and around half the time suggest one or more further changes.

It's been successful enough I'm currently thinking of how to adjust best practices to make things even smoother for that workflow, like better aggregating package interfaces into a single file for context, as well as some notes around encouraging more verbose commenting in a file I can provide as context as well on each generation.

Human-centric best practices aren't always the best fit, and it's finally good enough to start rethinking those for myself.
Worth a try compiling a custom version after adding to https://github.com/knro/libgphoto2/blob/master/camlibs/canon...
Hopefully it's as easy as that.

I'm able to pipe gphoto2 frames to a pipewire sink or v4l2 device and it works great for making my Canon EOS 250D into a webcam.
Same here, I was in Espoo the week after the Burning Memo, and not a single person I met was happy with it.

I don't think the notion of "current" has been explained to them.

How is administrative detention an attempt by Israel an attempt "to compel a third party, namely, a State, an international intergovernmental organisation, a natural or juridical person, or a group of persons to do or to abstain from doing any act as an explicit or implicit condition for the release of the hostage"

Like if they randomly started grabbing people up in order to trade them, it would very clearly meet the definition, but it doesn't seem like that is what happened.
Scott has an aviation background - he gets into issues of whether Starship's FTS made things more dangerous (both for many of the airline flights in the Caribbean, and folks on the ground & at sea). If so, the FAA's philosophy & regulations for flight termination parameters need to be revised.
There must be some functionality trade-offs that come in to the picture here. What do you see as the key downsides of using the IMAP approach rather than integrating with email providers via their APIs?
for desktop i use FOSS RSSGuard which has complex filtering and proper image support. Also a light version without JS or other bloat

That requirement is reversed in the last five years IIRC. My Sony A7-III doesn't have that, for example. Neither modern Canons, AFAIK.

The funnier thing is, you can't use the videos out of your camera for commercial purposes, because the video codecs inside your camera doesn't come with commercial licenses out of the box.

So if you are going to use your camera for production which you'll earn money, you need to pay commercial licenses for your cameras.

Hah.
Bambu Lab shutting out 3rd party slicers
Bambu Lab’s network plugin API will now be off-limits to third-party slicers. You will have to use Bambu Studio or slice, save the gcode then upload it using a separate Bambu Connect application.
Using abort() every time malloc and kin fail isn't really satisfying anything except the idea that the program should crash before showing incorrect results.

While the document itself is pretty good otherwise, this philosophical failing is a problem. It should give examples of COPING with memory exhaustion, instead of just imploding every time. It should also mention using "ulimit -Sd 6000" or something to lower the limit to force the problems to happen (that one happens to work well with vi).

Memory management is mature when programs that should stay running - notably user programs, system daemons, things where simply restarting will lose precious user data or other important internal data - HANDLE exhaustion, clean up any partially allocated objects, then either inform the user or keep writing data out to files (or something) and freeing memory until allocation starts working again. E.g. Vi informs the user without crashing, like it should.

This general philosophy is one that I've seen degrade enormously over recent years, and a trend we should actively fight against. And this trend has been greatly exacerbated by memory overcommit.
You can create a repo in a directory and use the local path in svn url without using any service or server process since the beginning of SVN.

You can even do it on shared directory for a small team even it's not recommended if there is a lot of concurrent users.
It's more like "so you can't drink it" without the taxes part. Those taxes play important role in reducing alcohol consumption (though they are of course not the only tool), so making cheap ethanol poisonous and with different color closes the loophole in healthcare policy rather than opens a loophole in taxation.

But you generally don't have everything you need. As I've mentioned most cameras' USB webcam output (if at all present) is quite bad, even via the official programs or gphoto. The 'correct' way to access video output is through their, well, video-out port (usually HDMI), which almost necessitates a capture card or monitor.
Agents are really new and would solve plenty of annoying things.

When I code with Claude, I have to copy paste files around.

But everything we do in AI is new and outdated a few weeks ago.

Claude is really good but blocks you in 1-3h for a bit due to context length.

That type of issues will be solved.

And local coding models are super fast on a 4090 already. Imagine a small project digits on your desktop were you allow these models also more thinking. But the thinking style models again are super new.

Things probably are not done yet because we humans are the bottleneck right now. Getting enough chips, energy, standards, training time, doing experiments with tech a while tech b starts to emerge from another corner of ai.

5090 just was announced and depending on benchmarks it might be 1.x-3 times faster. if it's faster above 1.5 that would again be huge.
So when people say these things are like junior developers, they really mean that they’re like the worst _stereotype_ of junior developers, then?

A lot of the "big boy" insurance on ships etc actually have inspectors - they'll come and inspect your ship (or industrial plant etc) periodically to confirm it meets the agreed safety standards. And if it doesn't, no insurance! That really aligns incentives.
Google, the ad-monopoly pretending to be a competitive "tech company" to avoid scrutiny of it's monopoly [1] had a dizzying array of "tech products" it generated to maintain this subterfuge.[2]

Other companies, buying into the marketing smokescreen that they were a "highly competitive tech company" and not a search monopoly figured that 'cargo culting' their OKR process would help obtain the super-profits of they craved.[3]

The statements of departing Googlers during the successive waves of layoffs in '23 and '24 supported the hypothesis that GOOG suffered from having people just meeting their OKRs for products no one wanted or needed, and without any external guidance of profitability or customer feedback.

Just say no to OKRs. They won't give your company the monopoly it wants.

He didn't come from any other thing, because he always existed. It's like asking where time came from.
There's also no official x64, x86-64 or i686 "architecture", if we want to be pedantic.

There is no official name for the 64-bit instruction set for the x86 architecture, as far as I know. As far as I remember, AMD called this ISA "AMD64" when it was released and Intel just called it "Intel 64". Of course, this term only refers to the basic instruction set. If you see an x86-64 binary, it may be compiled with an extended instruction set like SEE4 or AVX that is not necessarily supported by every x86-64 CPU out there.

Even the umbrella term "x86" for the 32-bit ISA was retconned as far as I know: Intel did not use that term originally.

Design decisions are buried in React components with cryptic expressions like flex items-center shadow-lg p-6 hover:bg-gray-50 dark:bg-gray-800 py-[calc(theme(spacing[2.5])-1px)].

This is Tailwind nonsense—not JavaScript.
Bit of a charged headline. It's not exactly "diversity" -- it's that they don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, thus they don't want to sort by aptitude.

Anyway. Could be worse. It's mostly just signaling anyway -- Bahrick and Hall [1] found that adults who took advanced math in school, calculus and beyond, rarely even use algebra on the job.

Smart kids will find ways to learn, and smart and resourceful adults can learn on the job if need be. Forced cramming with useless stuff isn't wise, and K-12 is really just daycare/prison anyway.

I hope we will get much more research like this, now when Syria is liberated and has Democratic governors!
Silly restrictions aside, I feel that most use cases don't have takes longer than 30min anyway (I mean, on cameras that you actually start and stop recording manually)

But yeah technology evolves and the taxes remain. (Though don't complain too much or they will just pick the higher taxes for the newer cameras)
It is funny.

And it is true.

But is not really helping.
It’s weird how normalized over cap billing became acceptable simply because chargeable metrics were not collected/resolved until after the fact. Seems like an obvious gap in the process or a little bit shady.

Show HN: I made a tool to build attractive Astro websites faster
Hey HN,

I made a tool called 10x DevKit, and I'm excited to share it with you. It's an Astro project foundation generator designed to make the process of building high-quality websites faster.

The idea came to me while I was building the landing page for my previous project, Yaad. I realized I was spending a significant amount of time on tasks that were common across many websites (SEO, accessibility, multilingual, etc.).

10x DevKit aims to solve this by providing a production-ready foundation with these features built-in. It's built with Astro and TS, but it's not a framework – it gives full control over the generated codebase and can customize it to your needs.

Key features:

- SEO: Sitemap, robots.txt, structured data, search engine snippet hints – all handled automatically.

- Accessibility: Built with best practices in mind, including best-in-class localization features and keyboard navigation.

- Multilingual Support: Translation keys for all user-facing strings, 11 built-in language packs for common strings, and excellent RTL support.

- Performance: Image optimization, code minification, and a focus on achieving near-perfect Lighthouse scores.

- Themes: 26 built-in themes (compatible with daisyUI), dark/light mode, and a visual theme playground (https://10xdevkit.com/theme).

- Blog: A comprehensive Markdown-based blog with pagination, categories, social sharing, RSS feeds, and more.

- Flexibility: Integrates seamlessly with your favorite frameworks.

Why I built it:

I wanted a tool that would let me focus on the unique aspects of my projects without getting bogged down in repetitive setup. I believe 10x DevKit can be valuable for other developers facing similar challenges.

Tech Stack:

- Astro

- Vanilla TypeScript

- Tailwind CSS

- daisyUI

Link: https://10xdevkit.com

I'm here to answer any questions you have about the tech or the implementation. I'm also open to feedback and suggestions on how to improve it.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
>Smart kids will find ways to learn

Not when society and peer pressure is against that, plus the culture of anti-intellectualism going rampant in the US/West that values appearance and aesthetics more than learning and education.

I knew some kids in school who were crazy brilliant, however they never pursued performance due to fear of bullying from peers about it who saw learning as uncool. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered". When you're young, fitting in with the tribe is more important that pursuing individualism so if you want to pursue performance you need to move to the right social environment that encourages that instead of vilifying it.

Sure, a few kids can fight and wither this presure and trend, especially if they're from a family/culture that values education like Asians, but that's not to say it's still swimming against the societal stream.
> If anything, CS degrees have proven time and time again they aren't translatable into software development (which is why there's an entire degree field called Software Engineering emerging).

Emerging? I graduated in 2006 with a BEng in Software Engineering.

The difference between it and the BSc CompSci degree I started in, was that optional modules became mandatory — including an industrial placement year (paid internship).

> Software engineer{ing,s} (project construction, integrations, scaling, organizational/external factors, etc) will stick around for along time.

My gut disagrees, because LLMs are at about the same level in those things as they are in low level coding: not yet replacing humans in project level tasks any more than they do in coding tasks, but also being OK assistants for both coding and project domains. I have no reason to think either has less or more opportunity for self-training, so I expect progress to track for the foreseeable future.

(That said, the foreseeable future in this case is 1-2 years).
> If the alternative is that you are not allowed to keep private copies of anything

The alternative is that we download torrents pretty much everywhere except Germany which developed a private industry of lawyers extracting money from leachers and seeders alike.

Germans instead have VPNs set up in Poland or Ukraine and use their streaming websites.
> Think bigger.

One of the easier parts of this involves addressing, which in the UK is notoriously easy, reliable, and easy to process - especially the best-in-class Ordnance Survey stuff like AddressBase Premium, right?

A quick trawl of Github will shed some light on it - especially how much of a pain it is to get ABP into a usable state - and this is data that's core and integral to the service, the "are you a real user, a typo, a fraudster, a data supply issue, or getting things wrong in good or bad faith?" kind of business logic.

And it's doubly hard, because the government requires people to update their license when they change address - which often enough involves a new-build property, where the address (let alone UPRN - sometimes even the USRN!) is completely new to you.

Thinking bigger: imagine sitting at your desk during the first couple of weeks on the job, database validation checks running merrily in the background while you're staring at a screen. There's a mild frown forming on your face. You'd been scrolling over a list of rejected records in front of you, largely looking good - _how did they miss THAT fraud _ you'd briefly chuckled to yourself - but _this_ one...

It's a valid business entity, trading from the valid address, and you've hand-checked both _and_ got a junior who lives nearby to send you a photo of it, and, well, the wit running the business has decided to trade under the name _FUCKOFFEE_, and... that's... just going to have to be someone else's problem, you shrug.

(to be clear: the hard part of the DVLA project is _not_ implementing the coding, database, and systems design work)
And give many of Europe's house's a small rattle and they would fall down.

I'm in Christchurch, 6.2 Earthquake in 2011 and wooden framed houses dealt with it pretty good - they flex - lots of the houses survived and are still used.

Just about anything old and bricky was a deathtrap (fortunately many were unoccupied because condemned after nearby 2010 Earthquake).
