The issue is not duct tape, the issue is having someone you can rely on to know what to tape.

Why not? I'm pretty sure they know roundabout what it would cost to tear it down, so why not see if someone is willing to buy it because they think they can get the work done cheaper and make a profit off the raw material.

If you don't need to support a family and are unhappy otherwise, why not?

Sure it's not 'the smart thing to do' but if it makes you happy and you're still not far worse of than most people...

While your complaint is valid, no need to separate in chunks, there's a checksum.

How is it any worse than say, VSCode in this regard?

I expected this comment to be made anyways, so I didn't even bother rephrasing.

If it helps you, I don't support the initiative. Doesn't change the fact that rental property is scarse, public transport is full and children/teacher ratio is horrendous.

It's just a buzzword to say limit immigration with rising population.

I'll leave out my opinion on the topic but Switzerland has become noticeably more crowded in the last 20 years.

Ironic that the site has the most AI (over-)design ever.

Awesome! Now I wish screensavers were a thing again.

IP68 doesn't require a sealant if you just use enough pressure. Phones are just too thin to screw on the back plate and use a proper gasket. Which is stupid in the first place because most people then go and put a bulky cover on them.

At least there's a choice there. I've never bought a computer with a soldered-on SSD.

As far as I know, Qwant indexes itself and substitute with existing crawler results, which seems a reasonable compromise.

Wars in the middle east seem to have increasingly regular patterns tied to stock market opening hours, unfortunately.

FFmpeg is a prime single-block-everything-is-built-on xkcd example.

It would be cool if it could be part of a text notebook. E.g. extended Mathjax syntax in Markdown that allows plot() or derive()

You are technically correct but also very wrong. Yes, it is a lot of pain to get the paperwork done and you have a high chance of being rejected without a good reason. I know dozens of people who run cheap, chinese IP cams recording public spaces directly to dubious cloud services here in Switzerland. You just don't ask.

Work related: We sell solutions including CCTV and video-intercom and we have only recently started providing customers with stickers they can use to make those installations comply with regulations. Technically, it has been the responsibility of the customer installing the device, so us doing this is just nudging people towards compliance because nobody cares. I can guarantee you that there are tens of thousands of cameras here filming public ground and it is not prosecuted. In fact, someone at the office put one up a long time ago for a PTZ demo (not recording) that was not compliant and it took almost 10 years until we got ordered to take it down.

Most of these are not recording, only recording situationally or only locally. Still not legal technically. However, ever since cheap cloud-connected doorbells have become available, they have definitely been installed here. They do not comply with regulations whatsoever and next to nothing is done about it.

I should have probably said: "[...] exclusive content which is curated on [the creators] Patreon and [accessible to the user via the web browser or] their app."

Hope this clears things up. My main point was that there is in fact an incentive for users to check the app beyond setting up payment and forgetting about it. Even if it is not the only way such content is available, it certainly is a convenient one.

A lot of people pay for the exclusive content which is curated on Patreon and their app.

This is not an accident. This is exactly why Apple (and Google also) have made the PWA experience bad for years. They must force users to believe their app store is the only source of programs.

Analogy =\= Precise Maths

Absolutely worth invading allies over. I have no possible idea how this could backfire for the whole world.

I think there is value in knowing a term for the symptoms one might experience because it provides the ability to connect with like-minded people and potentially look into useful strategies to mitigate those symptoms, if they become problematic.

However, I do strongly agree with you that setting a boundary to "normal" and therefore implying these states to be abnormal and something that needs to be fixed is not helpful. We should be able to label a wide spectrum of neurological wiring quirks without nudging people towards changing them, unless it actually negatively impacts their ability to live a fulfilling life.

Did not expect one of the most unhinged discussions on HN to start over classical music but aight.

Looking at the rest of their recent update history, this likely just broke...

Task failed successfully.

Yes, that's the point of why CoCs are essentially useless.

Humans should be able to interact politely in any setting and if they don't, the issue needs to be settled with good old human interaction anyways.

Why? It doesn't say you need to have extensive experience with them. I would assume this is mostly to dissuade applicants that are not aware of the potential challenges ahead.

I found the book "Linear Algebra" and accompanying lecture recordings by Jim Hefferon very approachable and solid.

It's free, including exercises and an (also free) solutions book.

You will never find a level of "beginner friendly" that suits everyone.

I agree that this is not an ideal start - at least without any further clarification - for beginners but I think it works well for people that already known mathematical notation but not many specifics of linear algebra.

Also, I don't want to be the preacher bringing this into every argument but this is one of the genuinely good uses for AI that I have found. Bringing the beginning of a beginner friendly work down to my level. I can have it explain this if I'm unsure about the specific syntax and it will convey the relevant idea (which is explained in a bit of unnecessary complexity / generality, yes) in simple terms.

Yes. Unless the party generating the QR code first obtains its external IP address by other means, which would still require some kind of echo server. Even then, ignoring outdated approaches like UPnP, a commonly accessible host would be needed to establish signalling with e.g. NAT hole punching for anything but the most basic of setups.

I second this. As someone who still learned "Schreibschrift" in school, I have a tiny bit of a head start but a lot of letters changed or at least changed in style drastically but I can reverse-engineer as you described.
