41,801,203 | comment | johnnyanmac | 2024-10-10T17:35:34 | null | >This idea that governments are democratic is a myth. I didn’t vote for tethered bottle caps in the EU. I didn’t vote to send money to fund wars... If we could choose to pay taxes on a line-item basis, that would be the most democratic thing ever.<p>The last thing we want is the common people, unaware of the intricacies of all the things a government pays for, voting on what and how government is funded. That's a great way to get some huge budgets for circuses while forgetting to allocate for bread. The most important aspects of life are not glamorous, but they need to be funded for.<p>There's some merit here (maybe people can choose where 5-10% of the federal budget goes), but before we can even think about that we'd need to get the national debt under control. There's negative money to allocate as is.<p>>In the U.S., one can vote, but the policies that actually happen are the result of what lobbyists spent the most money buying the relevant congressmen.<p>That's more of a lobbying issue than a democracy issue, no? Ideally a democracy would uncover a large gift and the PR would completely tank chances of re-election. But alas, the people aren't caring or well-tuned enough.<p>>The most democratic thing there is is the free market.<p>THe endgame of a free market is monopoly. So a small government would give the exact result we have here with lesser chances of an antitrust. | null | null | 41,799,012 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |

41,801,205 | comment | evilduck | 2024-10-10T17:35:40 | null | An infinite loop of crashing isn't very useful though. "Let it crash" doesn't lead to a whole system being robust all by itself since you can also just say "let it throw exceptions" in just about any language. Erlang's whole-system robustness emerges when far more than just how you handle exceptions and crashes is implemented to support things that crash. It expects parallel processes and even redundant computing infrastructure to exist to handle those things that are crashing, and hopefully those redundancies behave in a way that doesn't also crash in the same way. Erlang only achieves its robustness because nobody really chooses Erlang without also knowingly buying into the entire setup that it requires to succeed. And if they don't then it won't actually achieve that robustness and succeed in that way.<p>The phone systems that Erlang's design emerged from naturally had these parallelism and distributed system properties that they could leverage and build on. Running Erlang on a single core SBC like to display virtual signage and limiting it to a single thread and not letting it have any redundancy in any way and then taking the approach of "let it crash" is not going to create a famously robust Erlang setup either, it's just going to create an Erlang-powered signage system that crashes and halts the same as any other runtime would. Erlang/OTP is a physical systems building and software design approach that you can't just put anywhere or bolt onto any arbitrary thing. You're not going to build an OTP-like Single Page Application because if you reliably crash the browser tab's process every time you start up, it's just going to keep crashing no matter how many times you refresh the page. | null | null | 41,800,299 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

41,801,218 | story | novitzmann | 2024-10-10T17:36:47 | Docwire SDK – C++20 library for advanced data processing | Introducing Docwire SDK, an advanced C++20 data processing library. Our SDK is a powerful tool built for developers who need a reliable and fast way to process various file types in their applications. It supports a wide range of formats (PDF, XML, DOCX, PST, RTF, and almost 100 more) and allows to perform tasks such as document parsing, metadata extraction, and data export, all while maintaining a focus on security and performance.
If you’ve ever had to write your own file processing logic, you’ll appreciate how Docwire SDK abstracts away the complexities and provides a streamlined API for handling these tasks—so you can focus on building awesome features instead of reinventing the wheel!
Why Docwire SDK Stands Out:
Full C++20 Support
Docwire SDK is written in modern C++20, leveraging features like move semantics, smart pointers, and lambdas to optimize performance and make the codebase more robust. This ensures better memory management, higher efficiency, and a cleaner API for developers.
Powerful Document Parsing and Exporting
With Docwire SDK, you get out-of-the-box support for handling a variety of document formats. Whether it’s extracting metadata from PDFs, parsing complex XML structures, or exporting documents to HTML or EML, the SDK handles these operations with ease. Plus, with a flexible architecture, you can extend and customize the functionality to suit your specific needs.
Performance Optimizations
We've put a strong focus on optimizing performance, especially when handling large datasets or nested documents. Docwire SDK uses techniques like caching, memory buffers, and efficient data streams to ensure your applications run smoothly, even when working with massive files.
Local AI-Driven Processing
One of the standout features of Docwire SDK is its integration with locally run AI models. You can perform natural language processing tasks (like sentiment analysis, document classification, and entity recognition) without sending data to external servers. This not only enhances performance but also ensures your sensitive data stays private.
Cross-Platform and CI-Ready
Docwire SDK is designed for cross-platform use, with built-in support for macOS, Linux, and Windows. We also offer seamless integration with CI pipelines, allowing you to automate builds and run tests on multiple platforms (including macOS 13, macOS 14, Ubuntu 24.04, etc.).
Easy Integration and Customization
We’ve made sure that integrating Docwire SDK into your project is straightforward, with detailed documentation and examples to guide you through. Plus, with built-in support for dependency management tools like vcpkg, getting started is as simple as a few commands.
Modular Architecture
Docwire SDK is split into multiple libraries, allowing you to only include the features you need for your specific project. This approach makes the SDK highly customizable and lightweight, so you can build efficient applications without unnecessary overhead.
Security and Privacy
In a world where data privacy is paramount, we’ve made it a priority to offer features that ensure secure document processing. Since our SDK runs locally, your data never leaves your environment, and you can avoid potential data leaks or security breaches associated with cloud-based solutions.
Who Can Benefit from Docwire SDK?
Docwire SDK is perfect for:
Enterprise developers working with complex data formats and large documents.
AI-ML developers looking to integrate locally run NLP models into C++ applications.
Security-conscious teams who want to ensure their data never leaves their internal infrastructure.
Any C++ developer who needs a robust, high-performance document processing solution that doesn’t require reinventing the wheel.
How to Get Started?
Head over to our GitHub repo, where you’ll find everything you need—from installation instructions to code examples and detailed documentation.

There is just how much resolution you are measuring and how consistent the measurement is between independent readings of the same event.<p>The overwhelming amount of pre-existing clinical data gathered by cuff-monitors means that any novel measurement methods benefit from tying/correlating their output to the existing data for compatibility. It's a bit unfortunate in some sense as cuff-monitor data lacks resolution and sometimes can be a bit of a drag on novelty. | null | null | 41,799,324 | 41,799,324 | null | null | null | null |

She is also a fairly accomplished (but not judged, doesn't enter many carving contests) carver; she started that to do something with her dad (and indirectly that led to the art teaching gigs at the senior centers). Her dad was an origami master; I dunno, I do a little origami.<p>Here are some of the benefits for older adults of these activities: staves off dementia and improves motor control. How do you do it? You start drawing circles and straight lines; I'm only sort of kidding. She actually teaches people about transferring drawings (to e.g. canvas), layering paint (it's not going to look like the final picture when you start): things that require envisioning the final goal and laying foundations to achieve that... along with drawing circles and lines.<p>It's not something you asked, but (to my relief and profit) I can still paint a house: painted one this summer, and I got compliments from strangers. Call it a hobby, I don't think I'd get the same personal satisfaction if it was a job. ;-)<p>I think in general adults forget how hard it is to be a kid, what Piaget called "hard fun".

41,801,241 | comment | nikolay | 2024-10-10T17:38:26 | null | Many foods are unregulated. It's strange that milk, for example, doesn't have any requirements for its expiration date. One brand widened their "best buy" date and I noticed their milk was souring 3 days before the "best buy" date. After contacting them several times, I told them that they gave me no option but to escalate this to authorities, they didn't seem concerned a bit, and after doing my research, I found out that they can put anything on the label without repercussions. The manufacturer even recommended the record stupid stuff like using the milk in smoothies and other odor and taste masking means to make it "best." So, even "best buy" for foods that can make you sick is meaningless! | null | null | 41,765,006 | 41,765,006 | null | [

41,801,242 | comment | bluGill | 2024-10-10T17:38:38 | null | There are many different engineers with many different interests. Some senior engineers should be talking to clients, but some should in no way be allowed to talk to them. Some senior engineers get there by knowing the client. Some get there by make the code "better". Some get there by creating tools everyone else uses. Some get there by digging into the really hard problems. Some get there by mentoring others. Some get there by figuring out the big picture and building an architecture that works better. Some get there by figuring out priorities and getting the real important stuff done. Some get there by writing ads, projecting financials, messing with Figma. I'm sure there is more that I can't think of now.<p>There is nothing wrong with anything on the above list. Depending on your situation some will be more important than others. It is not possible for one person to do everything in the above list well, though often you need to do more than one. Some of them are better done by departments - but if an engineer is interested does it matter (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). Your junior engineers should be thinking about what they like and what is needed - then positioning themselves to their future senior role.<p>The only really bad thing is when a mid level engineer is so good at something that you don't realize how important they are and so don't promote them to senior much less principal. (bad because when they leave that you didn't promote them is a sign to others you don't care about that and so the juniors didn't study it to become a backup - if you really don't care then you should be talking to that person about their waste of time side activity) | null | null | 41,799,509 | 41,797,009 | null | [

That can't be good. Heart rate has a strong inverse correlation with lifespan, and this even holds across species (animals with higher heart rates have shorter lifespans). So does lowering blood pressure reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, etc, but nevertheless shorten your lifespan in other ways because of a higher heart rate?<p>[1] I've verified this for myself with careful record keeping over long periods of starting/stopping different BP meds, but I'm not entirely sure it's true for everyone. | null | null | 41,799,324 | 41,799,324 | null | [

41,801,262 | story | cloudedcordial | 2024-10-10T17:41:28 | Ask HN: Has anyone purposely hired someone in the Autism spectrum? | A large company in my country posted some tech-related openings saying that they would like to hire someone who has been diagnosed formally with Autism.<p>I was very skeptical about such a posting. It sounds like a big corp just want to write a bullet point about "doing good in the community" without understanding what those individuals need in a workplace. A large workplace is cruel for people who cannot read faces, read between the lines and work together with other. Educating the entire department on Autism spectrum on short notice could be unrealistic.<p>The stereotypes say the folks with Autism are so good in one single thing that other shortcomings are overlooked. In reality, many have just average or above-average intelligence but are not genius. They could be "brillant jerks". If you have two people with the same skillset, you'd choose someone with people skills because teamwork is important in modern workplaces.<p>Someone I know has a formal diagnosis for Autism. They went for training in tech. They are high-functioning that they read & write, navigate the city and play video games. They need special prompting to say what they could do: Open-ended questions such as "tell me about yourself" would invite a blank face for them. Even if they disclose their disability at job application time, I wonder what the HR and the hiring team could accommodate given the hiring process is here for fairness to all candidates.<p>This person wasn't offered a job even after going through the in-person interview. | null | 1 | null | 41,801,262 | 2 | [

The train game or sim genre has a bunch of folks who go incredibly deep and accurate in their representations of real trains.<p>If you want an incredibly detailed 3 hour history of the genre: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vwE_p9SCXw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vwE_p9SCXw</a> | null | null | 41,801,228 | 41,757,808 | null | null | null | null |

41,801,289 | comment | jeberle | 2024-10-10T17:43:42 | null | CPU instruction sets do account for signed vs unsigned integers. SHR vs SAR for example. It's part of the ISAs. I'm calling this out as AFAIK, the JVM has no support for unsigned ints and so that in turn makes WASM a little more compelling.<p><a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/X86_Assembly/Shift_and_Rotate" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/X86_Assembly/Shift_and_Rotate</a> | null | null | 41,801,115 | 41,795,561 | null | [

41,801,290 | comment | Ifkaluva | 2024-10-10T17:43:43 | null | "Pontifex Maximus" was originally the high priest of Jupiter in Rome, dating all the way back to the Roman monarchy and before the Roman republic. "Pontifex Maximus" is currently the official title of the pope (in a sense, still the highest priest in Rome). I don't think anybody still has the title "Pharaoh". | null | null | 41,801,200 | 41,798,027 | null | null | null | null |

41,801,292 | comment | DexterTew | 2024-10-10T17:44:03 | null | Rust is a great game that captivates with its dynamic and survival elements in an open world. But it's not just playing that excites me—I also enjoy betting on tennis through the <a href="https://1wins.com.ph/" rel="nofollow">https://1wins.com.ph/</a> platform. However, I personally prefer real sports competitions. Live sports, especially tennis, give me far more satisfaction than any video game. I love playing tennis, feeling every racket swing, every change in the ball’s speed and direction.
This site stands out with its user-friendly interface, a wide range of sports events, and competitive odds. On 1Win, you can find both major tournaments like Wimbledon and the French Open, as well as lesser-known competitions that offer great betting opportunities.<p>1Win is known for its reliability and fast payouts, which are important factors for me. The platform also offers a mobile app, allowing you to place bets anywhere, anytime. Thanks to watch, I can combine my love for tennis with the added thrill of betting, making watching matches even more exciting. | null | null | 41,775,321 | 41,775,321 | null | null | null | null |

41,801,299 | comment | mthoms | 2024-10-10T17:44:19 | null | Right, but none of that says anything to the effect of "excluding non-commercial use". It's a blanket assignment for "hosting of blogs and web sites that utilize any version or component of the WordPress open source publishing platform product or open source successor..."<p>That means Automattic's rights ares not restricted in <i>any way</i> despite their claims that The Foundation has exclusive non-commercial rights and Automattic does not. | null | null | 41,800,351 | 41,781,008 | null | null | null | null |
