it's also dependent on the lens used.

About point 2), I don't know why the question is aimed at Viking enthusiasts but if Danish or Norwegian counts, the r is silent and almost pronounced as the letter A. Not really close to fear at all.

Racial bias does exist in ML based image recognition tools, there's a plethora of evidence to show that.

I beg to differ. I mean sure, the OP-1 isn't as versatile as a laptop with a good daw and a few plugins but hardware still has its' place in some producers' gear bag. For a standalone device it's extremely versatile and it does sound good.

This is such a weird take.

First off, Norman wasn't schooled at Apple, he basically created the HCI guidelines with Nielsen. Apple's design guidelines have long been based o years what Norman worked on so you have it the other way around.

In no part of the book does it say that engineers shouldn't be part of the design process. What the book advocates is that if engineers are entrusted with design, they should at least understand the users and design their products based on their needs and for the users. Anyone can be a designer, anyone can apply design thinking. No one is excluded.

And your comment about error codes, I would always say that an error message is more useful than an error code. You say that you would Google the code, wouldn't it be more useful if you could just read the actual error code and figure out what went wrong without habing to look it up first somewhere else?

What Norman advocates for is to help the users help themselves, show the state of the application and don't hide things behind error codes.

Again, silently failing is definitely not recommended by the book or anyone really so if thats been your experience with Apple, it's not because they follow the teachings of Norman's book, it's because they _don't_ follow it.

Pattern recognition is still memory, it's just the more unconcious type but you have to not only look at the patterns initially, you also have to study them. If you don't know the best counter moves or follow ups to certain patterns then you won't be able to instinctively retort to whats happening in the game.

I think we had this discussion a year or two ago, but personally I find the guideline algorithm to be boring. It's definitely more oriented to PVP Tetris. Something like TGM would be boring if you can just execute builds instead of preparing your stack and play for just about anything.

It's true that there's a lot of different builds (I'm personally more partial to the albatross special than DT cannons) and builds are not only related to what you can build, also how you should respond to your opponent. Like, is the game even fun when you're just spamming t-spins with Tafokint's T-spin factory?

I'm a pretty highly ranked Tetris player, top ten in Finland in T99, Tetr.io and Puyo Puyo Tetris and somewhere in the top 100 as well, and in reality I think fancier builds like DT-cannons are too fragile and reliant on a clean-ish stack that they're not even viable in high level play. If you take ten seconds to set up a tetris or 15 seconds for a triple T-spin then you're gonna get spammed to death before you can reply with your fancy build.

In modern PVP Tetris I think there's only three tactics. If you're not too technical, you need be fast at tetrises and hope you can outpace your opponent.

If you're slower, you have to deal more damage in the same time or less = T-spins for double damage. It took me a year of practicing to intuitively start leaving t-spin doubles in more unconventional setups. There's the risk of being outpaced and spammed but the double damage mitigates it a bit.

Third option is comboing. I think it's the hardest to pull off but it's also the most effective. With a three wide hole it's fairly easy to get a combo going but there's always a huge risk of topping out by a badly timed attack from the opponent. Four wide is harder to keep going but it's safer.

Depending on the game and network code, combo builds can be game breaking and actually stagger the enemy so that they can't even reply to your attacks. It is however the least effective build in terms of how many pieces you need and the return damage for each clear and there's the most unknowns in how you're supposed to stack.

But to sum up in short, I don't think "builds" per se are the way to go in PVP. The "stack, attack and reply" formula simply leaves too large holes for your opponent to attack and it's not variable enough. Seeing parts of builds as patterns, like using a roof on a T-shaped hole to build a triple T-spin is useful if you can figure it out whilst clearing garbage and keeping a constant battering on your enemy going.

Personally, I think TTC forcing guidelines on single player games is boring. TGM TAP+ was the pinnacle in terms of game behavior and algorithms, IMO holds and the floor kicks in Terror Instinct made everything a bit too easy and all the difficulty comes from being ridiculously fast instead of being super meticulous and eloquent in your stacking.

One of the most annoying things I've had to experience is Onedrive moving your documents folder inside onedrive. I've done some tech support in a music production forum and you wouldn't believe how many problems it'll cause.

And what about my PS/2 keyboard and mouse?

I think assuming money laundering was a fair assumption as the article only describes fraudulent activity and nothing else on the matter.

I mean, why not? It's not the first but one of the first FM synths and the one that definitely made the biggest splash. Affordable and versatile so it became a staple in studios, music classes and with home players as well.

The sound chip YM2612 is also what elevated video game audio when it was still in its' infancy to something more akin to "real" sounding instruments.

Historically it's been very influential since the 80s so it's no wonder it's struck a chord with people now in their 30s, 40s and older.

Black mold in your home is totally unrelated to the case discussed in the article though.

Netflix on 1080P is rather atrocious, especially movies and shows with a lot of darker content in the images, the packing gets very rough. Also, on Android it will always look very pixelated on maxi quality.

Well, not directly me but indirectly yes. I do a bit of headhunting for friends and family and one of my close relatives is the sales lead in their company's local site. This relative has been trying to land a deal with a customer and needed to hire a person or two to work as subcontractors for this customer.

After a few months of finding no suitable applicants, they asked me for help. I managed to find a few candidates with the very specific skills required for the project and moved forward with one of them.

This company's recruitment is done by another site, not the local one my relative works at and they were so impressed with the prospective hire that they coaxed them to relocate to the city where the other site is located. Basically, the hire got poached as this is work that can't be done remotely and HQ wanted the hire for themselves.

My relative got their recruitment bonus which is approx 1/5th of their monthly salary. The reason I'm a bit miffed is because my relative would've gotten around 2-3 X their monthly salary as bonuses and comission from the deal that they still can't finalize.

Small correction but for some movies you might need to adjust the timings more than once if the subs run in a different sync to the video, it's tied to the video FPS and subs might start drifting if they're synced up against another copy of the movie that has a different FPS.

You can remove almost all of the visual effects in Tetr.io ghost piece transparency, background images, grid visibility etc.

You can even adjust key repeat speeds, manual drop speed and everything related to game play. It's extremely versatile in that regard and easily the top 1 tetris clone in my opinion.

You should read the reply in the post. PAL versions running slower is to be expected as PAL games were locked to 50hz refresh rates due to TVs refreshing at that speed. NTSC on the other hand ran at 60hz, meaning that PAL games updated 17% slower compared to NTSC.

Either you didn't read the linked article (you generally should, before commenting) or you fail to grasp the issue at hand.

It's a wholly different situation if colleagues were just informally chatting with one and another but they were circumventing regulations that require talk about customers to be documented.

Hacker news has a rule about not editorializing headlines, they have to be posted as they are on the linked site.

A lot of the users this affects are most likely also familiar with tutanota's services I'd guess.

Does anyone know if it's possible to run a Mac app in a "greater" resolution than what the display supports? We have quite a few 2017 macbook airs running at 1440x900 and it doesn't have enough width to display an enterprise app we need to use.

Basically would need some sort of VM or sandbox that could run the apps in 1920 width and scale down to fit 1440px.

If the users manage to get the hardware banned from Apple dev tools, then it's as good as bricked in my opinion as it can't function in its' intended fashion and a factory reset doesn't help.

Normal light roasted juhlamokka is maybe a 2/5 roast, medium roast tends to start at 3/5.

When roasting coffee, they're of course graded visually but there are two important bench marks: first and second crack.

If you don't roast your coffee beyond the first crack, it's essentially still raw and unsuitable for drinking.

Second crack happens later in the roast process if you keep roasting it, usually medium coffee is taken out before the second crack as it tends to get noticeably darker and more oily aftrr that point. A dark roast (4/5) is after the second crack as well is a parisian roast (5/5), which is essentially burnt charcoal in my opinion.

About the Finnish coffee habits, I think it's true that historically we've mostly drunk lighter roasts and it has started to shift somewhat to darker roasts.

There are still a lot of people who prefer lighter roasts but I wouldn't clump them together by age group.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the more you roast the beans, the more you can only taste roast level and less off the actual coffee. Some coffees might reach their peak at a lighter roast, some at medium but it's all downhill after that imo.

Thats not to say that darker roasts are inferior, if that's what you prefer. But if you buy expensive beans, you'll usually get a wider range of flavors out of lighter roasts.

I think the reason Finns have moved a bit towards darker roasts is simply the fact that it's not what we're used to drinking and it seems "better" or more exotic to us. A reverse shift has happened in countries where darker roasts have been prevalent, for similar reasons.

If you compare the normal market offerings in Finland to neighboring countries, you'll find that even the bulk juhlamokka is pretty good in comparison.

I've never been a fan of robust blends in general and Paulig for example has done a pretty good job at keeping their offerings consistent over decades even. Obviously they hold no candle against 3rd wave coffee but it's not exactly bitter tar we're drinking either.

that's actually a pretty fresh idea I could get behind.

It's literally the UX that is wrong. Community and their content is why it's still a thing.

man I really hate typing on a phone. I know im pretty fast but it still feels clumsy and I have to go back and fix at least a typo or two per sentence. Thats with autocorrect enabled.

150 ICU patients is a lot. In the whole country here in Finland, there's 22 COVID patients in ICU right now. We have roughly 50% more people than in Alabama.

The issue was with Mozilla bring the only patron. Also, your sentimrnt about Firefox os not shared by many here.

Clarification, its not in the Japanese law but all phone manufacteurs have agree upon it together.

I was just thinking that if these are going to be used by perverts, its going to be trivia to paint over the light with something like nail polish. At least a proper audio cue like the camera snap noise which has been forced on at least in Japan, would be a bit better.

I'm not that old nor opiniomated, but I dont think disabling JS for the majority of browsing is weird. I had a mid-tier Android phone phone (a 250 euros costing Nokia) that after a few years of use just simply crawled when using normal websites that were a bit JS heavy. I'm not even talking about react/vue SPA apps.

Sites like the new Reddit design, Facebook, twitter etc. are just incredibly slow even on my beefy desktop and it its 100% because of how long the JS takes to execute.

We're off loading the performance hit in developer experience and server side rendering to the end user at the cost of a crummier user experience with many websites these days that strictly wouldn't need JS for most of the functionality. I'm not happy about this trend.
