To be fair, they’re probably right. Besides, if you’re traveling in Central America with any more than the bare necessities, you deserve to get robbed. At least you should assume all your belongings could be taken from you at any time.

Facebook desperately needs to fix this situation - they've grossly mishandled their video solution in order to try to beat YouTube, and it's costing content creators billions.

So are trichromatic people colorblind to tetrachromats?

BTW. Wikipedia says that trichromatism was normal for mammals in the past, and then they lost one or two cones, which would suggest a different development path. The article does not touch on this.

Or did distinct cones were reduced, and then one of them split into two again? It's also interesting whether chemical structure of cones is similar. I guess I gotta do some research on my own.

I first read the declaration back in the 90's when it seemed possible. Over time we have slowly drifted away from the grand vision and we're now in a dark place. That said, when I get really down about the state of the net/www/privacy I pull up the declaration to remind myself of what can be and what to fight for.

Today I feel invigorated, and there is work to be done.

Batteries are deplating resources and I agree that they should be replaceable.

The thing is, it should be design priority as many techies would root for. Apple’s approach is perfectly fine in that regard as batteries are replaceable but you need tools.
Windows 2000 is from a time when software distribution was still mostly in the form of physical media, and everything having an internet-enabled updater was not as common. The IBM software in the comment was probably written for a previous version of Windows, and if a new version of Windows wasn't compatible with that IBM software (as found in the box the user bought), it would present an obstacle to upgrading to the newer version of Windows for users of that IBM software. Users wouldn't be expected to upgrade every boxed software they had bought just because they upgraded Windows.

What sort of games are you playing? Latency sensitive genres like FPS, or more RTS / turn-based games?

I normally wear what, generally, everyone else wears. I know this sounds a bit weak-willed but hear me out...

When I was contracting, I would go from businesses to business, every 6 months or so. I would always start by 'dressing up', full suit. Tie. Etc.

I'd then suss out how people acted on the first impression. Some companies have a culture where a suit = respect and authority. I wanted this because I was there to get a job done quickly and needed people to be on board, as I was only there for a few months.

Then, some companies have alternative views. Suits can provoke anti-establishment mentalities. So, I'll dress more like my colleagues and rely on more honest things to gain that respect.

One man can change the world, by recycling every day, hugging a loved one or cycling instead of driving. But the way people jump to conclusions based on the way someone dresses is unfortunately far too ingrained in our society. And this has been the case for 1000s of years. There's little value in making a statement by wearing something different.

FYI, if I'm not in a suit is probably a plain t-shirt, dark jeans and a 'smart trainer' (such as converse?). Take a look at some of the high-street shops and find a style you like.
That one's a bit iffy, but I would argue that living memorably and living consequentially probably go hand in hand, but still iffy because some great contributors aren't popular, and some popular people are morally unwell.
While Linus is not wrong about the kernel patches, this article is about microcode updates. Completely different thing.
English technically isn't my first language, but from what I understand having 110% of performance is equal to 1.1x control group performance, gaining 110% of performance would be 2.1x control group performance.

EDIT: Oh, I grokked the comment by mikeyouse and you now. Yes, I see what you mean.

Anyway, compare this to optimising code programming: there are big changes like switching algorithms, or more incremental improvements, like re-using arrays to reduce memory allocations. I'd say the former is like changing the type of sports/exercise, and the latter is more like this dietary change. For an incremental optimisation, 1.1x is quite significant, no? (there isn't really an analogy for bulking up though; since there isn't a causal relationship between code size and performance and smaller is considered better)
> The other solution, which seems crazy, is for there to be a meta organizing campaign, where media companies band together and refuse to post on Facebook, essentially going on strike and withholding their labor until they are compensated.

Still, it seems many Youtube personalities are still making money from the videos they post on YT. Why can't others do the same?

To me, you are making it blatantly obvious that you barely know what you're talking about. Not only are you basing your claims on only the anecdotal evidence which is your subjective experience, but you are also making completely outrageous claims.

Someone who has exclusively trained calisthenics isn't going to be magically able to lift two times his own body weight, simply because your body and muscles will get used to training with the same load and strength gains will simply plateau. Someone who has specifically trained to get stronger by using an increasing load is going to be able to lift more than his own bodyweight.

Stop trying to sell one thing as the cure, denouncing everything else. Ultimately the most important thing is that people just do any kind of exercise. People should do what they like best - be it calisthenics, weightlifting or even powerwalking.
Naturally, one approach might be objectively better for your health than another in the long run, but that doesn't matter if the alternative is not doing any exercise at all.

It is in Facebook's interest. I'm sure Facebook would be willing to spend money to make Facebook offer a better comedy experience for their users. But why would they pay comedy producers when plenty of equally high-quality comedy is submitted there without them paying anything? As for offering a consistent interface, that's a feature rather than a bug, and as a Facebook user it's one I appreciate.
> The HP Elite X2, a Surface Pro-class tablet

This tablet is absolutely fascinating; it turns the "cost of repairability" of a pro-tablet into a material measurement : 100g on 700g (14%).

I wonder, all things being equal (which of course, it's not realistic), what's the impact on the attractiveness to the general (not HN) public. It would be significant even it if would conquer a "solid nieche".

To make an interesting comparison, a 12.3" Elite X2 weighs as a 15" Surface Book 2 (though the latter has a different form factor, while stil being in the pro-tablet category).

(~700g is the standard weight of a "pro-tablet": 12.x inches, without (cover) keyboard)

Reads from CockroachDB go through a lease holder for the piece of data being read without needing confirmation from any replicas about consistency, so there is no overhead from replication. But read latency can be affected by writes on the data (conflicts), because it is fundamentally a consistent system (serializable). This is not tunable.

Not anyone, only those lucky enough to have sufficient inherent attractiveness to outshine anything they could put on. When those have established a new aesthetic (either top-down/haute, or bottom-up/street), the industry comes in and skillfully polishes away the rough edges so that the basic idea can also work on the less fortunate, who will then for a brief period be able to enjoy a "pretty by association" halo effect.

Sceptics sometimes consider the fashion lifecycle to be some kind of artificial conspiracy made up by the industry to create demand, but I think it is more an emergent phenomenon of human interaction that could only ever be subdued by extreme scarcity or by draconian regulation (e.g. rules applying to lower classes in many feudal society).

The problem lies with the "just needs to dockerize his application" part. These days I see many developers regularly servicing Docker containers where they rather should be adding value to the product they're creating. It almost seems as if Docker has become an end in itself rather than just a means.

In some ways with Docker you also only move concerns from one layer to another. While in the past you had to manage dependencies on the target machine you now have to manage Docker dependencies and environments on that machine on top of the dependency management for your application.
> Instead of having good vision, dogs, horses, mice, antelope – in fact, most mammals generally – have long damp snouts that they use to sniff things with. It is we humans, and apes and monkeys, who are different.

What a load of bull. Dogs and wolves eyes are facing forward, as do cats', owls', jumping spiders' main eyes, and generally those of most hunting predators. Eyes facing forward is good for depth perception and judging speeds and thus hunting, a bigger field of view is good for detecting threats from any and all directions and thus for prey animals. The location of the eyes depends mainly on where the animals sits on the predator<->prey scale. Apes tend to be apex predators, thus the predator eye location.

For Linux, the microcode updates are also available at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27337/Linux-Proces... or similar (oddly, that's the 20171117 version, I recall seeing the 20180108 version there earlier, but can't find it now; in any case, that newer version is still available at https://pagure.io/microcode_ctl). Distributions usually install that microcode update package so that it's activated early in the Linux kernel startup: if you see "microcode updated early to revision [...]" as the first line of your dmesg output, it's that mechanism doing its work.

Another way I think Facebook is killing comedy is the outrage every time a comedian makes an edgy joke. I recognise this isn't solely caused by or limited to Facebook, but social networking is definitely a contributing factor.
Good insight.

Maybe those old folks grew up together so they have their own whistling dialect.

The report on Swedish TV did show school children learning the whistling language so I'd assume they'd all understand eachother. But even so, I just don't think whistling leaves room for enough nuances to carry on a normal conversation.

It seems to be more suited for commands or exclamations like "bring me a beer" or "rain coming".
> Eyeballs with no revenue?

Presumably so. Recognition/fame/having a loyal following are going to be of great value to modern stand-up comedians. I imagine Facebook's non-monetized videos are more of an issue for someone using online videos as their primary source of revenue (i.e. YouTube personalities).

My understanding is that the music industry has been that way ever since music recordings could be published - top musicians make most of their money from performances, and only a small amount from royalties, but without the recordings they'd never have the large performances.
I don't know. In my experience if a company won't buy me the laptop I need on day 1, it's a good sign I'm going to be spending the rest of my time there having to fight every time I need a new screen, or hard drive or mouse or just about anything else.

You should look into the sibling comments (nuklear, DearImgui, Casey Muratori), and try doing a simple toolkit for your own use. Then you will understand the difference. Qt is huge, and opinionated, and very difficult to control.

Qt is not focused on being a useful tool that you simply put next to your other modules, and plays nice when it's called. Qt wants to be a framework that drives your application. Qt expects you to speak in its own datatypes, not type-agnostic flat memory.

I mean, I've only used Qt very briefly, but how would I, for example, use Qt widget functionality to add a nice menu to my existing 3d game? It's uncommon enough that I can't easily find how to do it, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's next to impossible.
Not Google Keep, but part of "Simple tools/hack for small project management".

I do a lot of work from the commandline, and have a few simple macros to do simple timestamped tags. Eg "ttag started on proj ABC", "ttag debugging this", "ttag stopped for today". The tags are stored in a text file. Some work when going back to sum up hours spent on project X, hours on Y etc, but very simple.

Here:

alias ttag='/cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag.sh'
alias ttagcat='cat /cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag-logfile.txt'
alias ttago='open /cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag-logfile.txt'

and

>cat /cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag.sh
#!/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/cygdrive/c/Dropbox/tools/ttag/ttag-logfile.txt
TIMESTAMP_NICE=$(date +"%F %H.%M.%S - %s:")
echo $TIMESTAMP_NICE "$@" >> $LOGFILE

works well enough for me.

> Theoretically, if the system is not corrupted

Just like you, I believe we will achieve this some day. The problem is that if the system is corrupt - and it very much looks like it is, anywhere in the world, not just in China - these tools allow that corrupt system to live on, without correction.

Technology has long passed the advance of society and individual human minds, and that is a major problem, for which I have no solution for - nobody does.

Please let society catch up, let basic income become reality (essentially let us not worry about lowest level of the Maslow Pyramid), and only after that have this level of control. There is an incredible difference between a thief who steals food because of hunger, and someone who steals from banks for the thrill and fun, but this level of tech will only be useful on the first, who'd instead deserve help.
