Joys of hacker news

Google photos was spawned from Picasa, which they bought https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB109121493116979168

Good. Let them make a fool of themselves in court. Tesla wont be happy till every country treats it's employees like disposable garbage, just like in the US.

Only if you shutdown. Otherwise tpm is still in memory and everything is unlocked. Going off how many people compliance have to chase to restart for updates, a lot of people think sleep is fine

HL² on pop-os was ok (tried it last week), a bit glitchy though. Portal completely froze and had to be killed. Probably better with Nvidia; I was using intel graphics. Interesting to try it though

Thatcher was a disease we've never recovered from. Shit, just look at water privatisation... Going sooo well. Or the utilities that have left us privatising profits and socialising losses

Based on Serbia but operating the servers in Frankfurt. With the cavalier attitude to scraping and linking people's identifiable data without any sort of opt-in I had assumed it would be a US company.

Saw fiddler and was wondering how telerik had repurposed the tool for ai https://www.telerik.com/fiddler Do US startups just skip the stage during naming where you check for preexisting products with the same name

Til. Cool

The tens of thousands being laid off from that ivy league and ones who jumped the, 6 step, multi-tiered interview hurdles to get a job offer, later rescinded, might disagree with that value proposition.

Their values are money. You don't go to Eton, become a Tory MP and work for your constituency. You get there to gain influence and power that you can peddle to anyone willing to give you money. The ability to shift and sell public services to people for favours, donations and cash is part of their system, not a flaw that would be eradicated by another 50k

Yet another zero code style product promotion for the stack. Matt can fuck off.

Never went away; been hearing about it since msft sold the idea to managers in regards to SharePoint... Fucking SharePoint. They can design their own forms and hook the data up to bits of automation. Like magic for muggles.

Agreed. I still use acrobat for form filling and this one for the rest

The same tools don't work on windows either. Delve works well as a remote debugger against go on windows server though. Another fun one is go won't create dumps on panic on windows when GOTRACEBACK=crash is set.

Part of the push to use the browsers pdf engine was a result of Adobe acrobat being an endless festival of security bugs. Loading it in the browser allows them to reuse the same sandboxing. Pretty good idea for most folk. I like sumatrapdf because it keeps track of the pdfs I have open and the page. Like having an ebook reader on windows that doesn't suck.

Used Sumatra for so so long, always used ninite to batch install basic apps on new machines and one of the pdf apps they have as an option on the free ninite page is sumatrapdf. Great app. Thanks for all the effort

The ADK used a lookup db to apply those fixes though; it wasn't a global fudge. Windows compatibility has probably been the main differentiator over the decades and every break (vista driver signing, dropping support for a bunch of scanners/printers, os quality issues) then 10 and even more so 11 making upgrading a mess of seemingly huge hardware replacement costs for next to no user/use gains, has caused uproar. Hell even xp was a mess; windows compatibility mode barely did what it suggested; but the intention was there.

How many story points is that

In the US. They're required in the UK, EU and Canada.

Most of the companies laying off people are huge businesses that apply the most onerous of interview hurdle jumping practices.

They didn't cut down on the process, or the five stage interview processes during the last two years of over hiring, they doubled down on them.

There are very few careers where entire industries like leetcode, hackerrank, coderpad etc have been founded to promote the practice of making every Dev slog through a mass of made up crap intent on wasting the time of everyone involved to make HR feel like they've achieved something.

In the old days when the card machine went down they'd pull out the manual machine that used carbon paper to pick up the embossed numbers on the card and you signed for it.

Of course there were lots of cases of fraud linked to those too.

Hard to relate those issues. Most charging ports are in public areas and in the time it takes for the connection to restore and billing to kick in probably isn't going to be long enough to charge your vehicle up much.

While the Kia issue boils down to the US failing to follow the UK, Canada and other regions in using regulation to make immobilisers mandatory. The subsequent penny pinching that took place producing cars with security features that have been around since the early 90s, as they were treated as a premium feature in the US. That combined with them opting for a cheap ignition column gave them their current predicament as even basic steering lock functionality is dead.

Infra can make it easier to do it safer; it's not a panacea. Sure you can roll back; alert based on metrics / logs / error rates, but the knowledge required to automate around these data points tends to require the data to already exist, which won't be true with new features.

Wouldn't it make more sense to count the weekend as a whole? So 22 on the weekend, negating the point they're making. All an incident on a Sunday says in that data, presumably is, that as no one was working no one noticed the issue on the Saturday.

US news and dictionaries say corporal like the UK. Corporeal makes it sound like beating the physical being of the spirit. Which, depending on your views may seem right, whilst being grammatically incorrect.

Who cares, no one... why launch something like this without first curating some starter profiles?

You may want to look at posting on some nursing forums and paramedic forums to get some content before pushing this.
