It is curious to me how people seem to accept certain narrative fallacies like 1) the complainers are the same; 2) if the complainers are the same, there are only two exclusive options in existence that must be chosen.

I work in an org with a lot of regulations and a rent seeking IT group different than development. I’ve heard a lot of people rationalizing decisions using emotion (eg, “they complain if we do, they complain if we don’t [;therefore their experience isn’t important to addres]”

It’s tough to solve and is based, I think, on having your measurement of success be a good story, because objective metrics are not really applicable.

In google’s case they make so much revenue and profit from search the rest of the company just kind of bounces around and doesn’t matter. So projects are run, it seems, off who has a great story. Sure, there’s massive data analysis showing things but those don’t matter. Why did a jillion people using finance used to matter, but not now.

Of course you can mitm it. You can supply old manifests and packages. You can send specially crafted rpms/debs that trigger bugs. Resource exhaustion via enormous packages is an option for embedded systems.

I played this game too. And I was close trying to implement such a game. But then my fluid grid would be much much larger and the game much slower. I thought about adaptive grids. Fine on the viewing screen and coarse outside. But to implement this would have taken me too long for this game entry.
Qmk can handle multiple controllers though. My helix is a split keyboard with an Arduino and OLED display in each half and it runs qmk.
I enjoy solitude because I've always had this fear of being a burden to someone else. I take pride in my self sufficiency because of this - I seek to be a provider, not a consumer.

Though more recently I've started to see this behavior as a defense mechanism against predatory people. I've been an observer of many dinner table conversations among rent-seeking types, which slowly erodes away my faith in people (the current commander-in-chief of the US is the perfect physical manifestation of this type of thinking - the "I was here first so now I can extract wealth from society" mentality. And it works, because people are eager to pay for luxury real estate)

But I digress. And digression is a consequence of solitude since you are not frequently bouncing ideas between other people. It can become a self imposed echo chamber, rationalizing things the way you want without a reality check.

As pessimistic as I sound, I know that there are many pure, selfless people in the world. Lots of them have YouTube channels that I'll check up on every few weeks. I want to find more of them and shower them with resources.

Apologies for the stream of consciousness format. Apparently I'm leaning more towards loneliness than solitude at the moment, and this article is a prompt to share something outside of my own head.

Or, don't design around gimmicks and fads. The "falseholds programmers belive" are overblown, usually non-issues, and frankly probably aren't worth the development time to support.
Well, not to put words in your mouth, but maybe to put words in my bosses mouth, you can say that, “if you were smart, you’d be able to program in a distraction-filled environment, and you can’t (at least not as effectively as otherwise), therefore you must be stupid”. I get that sentiment, and hey, maybe I am just stupid. But I also have an MSCS and a high GPA and two and a half decades of experience. That doesn’t make me smart by any means, but any form of filtering you’re doing on job candidates is one I’m going to pass with flying colors - so you had better be prepared to end up hiring an army of people about as stupid as me.
The idea alone isn’t invalid in theory, but in practice. Add up all the people who can’t ride bikes for whatever reasons and you see that we’re exactly where we’re at now; some people ride, most don’t. You seem to think that it’s a small number of people who can’t ride, but I think it’s the opposite.
Yeah I have to agree here. I don't see this getting any better. Look at how many people are willing to give up their entire lives worth of privacy to FB just so they can chat to friends, which they could do on any number of IMs and other services.

People just don't care.

It's a very very tiny minority who actually do, and the big companies and Governments are quite happy to ignore that problem until it goes away, as the vast majority pf people are steam-rolling any chance of privacy mattering in the future by accepting all this.

You have wildly underestimated how small of a mistake can end your life in even low-speed traffic. It's fine, a lot of drivers have an unearned sense of resilience, so you're not unique.

You're also intentionally ignoring the alternate routes cyclists can take, segregated cycle paths, the EV+ lifespan a cyclist has.

Can most schools do a better job of teaching fractions? Undoubtedly.

But fractions ARE critical to math education. Not becuse we use them in everyday life.

But because the same operations and techniques you use to add/subtract/multiply/divide fractions in 4th grade are the ones you’ll need to use to solve a basic algebraic equation in 8th or a calculus equation in 12th grade.

If you don’t understand those techniques and how and why they work, you’re going to have a hell of a time understanding even junior high level math.

When Apple finally revealed the first image of the new iPhone during their event, the background on the phones didn’t reveal the notch at all, so I thought they’d done away with it. I wonder if it was on purpose.
Older thread (9 years): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=893529
Agriculture can support higher population density. If you've got mouths to feed, you do the hard work. There is a hypothesis that the cold Younger Dryas period around 12,000 years ago pushed people in the fertile crescent into cereal cultivation, since the colder temperatures meant less available food for hunter-gatherer populations that had grown during the warmer period preceding it.

The first farmers were significantly less healthy than the hunter-gatherers they followed [1].

The notch is pretty awful when watching full-screen content in landscape orientation indeed. And no way to get around it in most software. Less annoying but still a distortion are the rounded corners. There should be an option while watching media to simply fill the screen without clipping.

Does Samsung have similar ways to help you prevent displaying content on the distorted sides of an Edge screen?
The differences between XML and blockchain are:

1. Blockchain is being touted as a panacea, a solution to every problem, not just every data integration problem. This has led to all sorts of companies offering solutions like retirment homes on the blockchain, massage chairs on the blockchain, etc. etc. The scope of the claimed magical properties of XML were never anywhere near as grandiose. I suspect this may lead to a stronger backlash against blockchain.

2. Blockchain is tainted, rightly or wrongly, by its association with cryptocurrencies, and all the negative connotations that brings. XML never had any association with large scale fraudulent activities. I can't imagine that being helpful for continued large scale future investment.

As an aside, it seems some of the more serious formerly "blockchain" projects appear to be rebranding themselves as "distributed ledger technology" projects, perhaps to try to retain credibility.
> Bitcoin is like the XHTML of blockchains.

If XHTML had won you would not have had a bunch of web sites that wouldn't render. You would have had browsers shipping both the old HTML parsers and the XHTML parser, and attempting to send artisanal sites through the old HTML parser before failing. Hell, you probably would have still had Hixie's unifying algorithm for parsing the old HTML consistently across browsers. Because consistency would have still been a problem for the billions of sites that weren't XHTML.

If people had adopted Bitcoin instead of the old technology "X"-- for any "X" I can think of-- you'd end up with a vastly inferior product and a network that probably performs several orders of magnitude slower than how "X" currently performs. The only exceptions I can think of for "X" atm are funding Wikileaks and funding Scihub.

So no, blockchain is not the new XHTML.
If it was straight ad delivery I'd agree that being closer to 10ms is achievable. But in the process of pulling in ad data, user profile data, running it through a selection algorithm that can be pretty complex for even a simple adserver, calculating and plugging in macros, gzipping, and doing that thousands of times per second per server, the latency tends to creep upward.

More/faster hardware can obviously help, but since everything's async from the browser's perspective you tend to run into higher costs and diminishing returns by pushing for the lowest latency possible.
Not even that! It requires that you prevent data races. Scopes threads, for example, can have no synchronization primitives at all! When you do need one, there are far more options than Mutex or RwLock, you have atomics, for example. Someone made a monitor the other day, I think. Really, anything works.

I’ve not personally used it, so I can’t comment on that part, but, it appears that they have gone with the open, extendable, and most critically - actually for sale - route. That would bode well in my book.

On my soapbox, the big missing piece in drones is a real platform for managing the concept of time series map data for a layperson. There is a lot of dimensions in the data that drones generate (lat, long, alt, color, time, camera stuff, angle of image, etc). Tons of data, and nobody has convincingly showed anything that goes into trend analysis. I’m not sure that any company is really delivering on the concept that this data needs to be controlled and analyzed. Especially in farms, the time series part is important, but it is mostly snapshots and intuition right now.
I work in this field and find it quite serious. As physicians we must hold ourselves to a higher standard and remain above reproach. Nearly everything we do depends on patient's trusting us and without that it becomes much harder to effectively help people.

As far as whether drug trials are influenced by industry sponsorship, I think the answer is a resounding yes[0], though others might disagree. But if we are talking about hidden industry sponsorship, we erode trust and generate questionable results.

Usually when a piece of tech is protected purely by obscurity in this way, the tech isn't really tech. It is more likely something that a decent programmer/hacker could figure out in a day or two. That's why they are scared to share any info - because even just a single sentence could be enough of a hint to a competitor in how it works.
And yet, it is full of bullshit like this:

"HTTPS does not provide meaningful privacy for obtaining packages. As an eavesdropper can usually see which hosts you are contacting, if you connect to your distribution's mirror network it would be fairly obvious that you are downloading updates."

The worst sort of neckbeard nonsense.

Signatures are if benefit in bandwidth constrained distribution, and for store and forward. Microsoft uses them for package distribution too (x.509 code signing). But there is no doubt that TLS makes interfering much harder.

With the move to encrypted SNI and http/2 this will hopefully become moot.
It would be nice to have a vertical speed indication in the ship or nearby. Perhaps some semaphore like lights in the bottom of the ship. It's difficult to look simultaneously at the ship position and the speed indicator.

Also, sometimes adding an official name for each map somehow make the game look better. Nice game, I must try again because I lost all my ships in the "volcano" level.

Edit:

Putting the light to show the vertical speed in the landing pad may make more sense in universe.

Also, the buildings look very similar to the old gorilla.bas game :).

It would be nice to be able to disable the simulation in the introduction and final screen, so I can keep the page open to play later, without using too much battery.
Building better team communication with Slack
> Here’s a simple fix to use all the extra space. To tell the browser to expand into the display cutout (notched) area, set the viewport-fit property to cover like so...

This honestly looks worse than having white margins in my opinion. While the white margins aren't ideal, they are still a better visual solution than fully extending the page to the left and right. Content should be given enough space as to not visually interact with the rounded corners, otherwise it reflects poorly on the site designer, as if they didn't account for it. So, forcing the page within the confines of the non-rounded area is a better global solution that offers better visual consistency. That said, I think either a blacking out the margin would be more visually appealing and not draw as much attention to the actual notch area, but forcing margins by default is the right call.

>Directing the storms away ftom land would be safer.

Not too long ago a hurricane or some big storm was off the US east coast. It didn't land but it veered northeastward.

I remember the weatherman saying with relief the storm has gone out to sea so everyone is safe.

Only it wasn't going out to sea it was headed directly for my region the Maritimes in Canada.

Directing a hurricane away from land may just be sending it to someone else.

At least for the VCS part:
The config is saved in ~/.config/uhk-agent in a json file (don't know if the file name there changes though) and there are Export and Import options in the UHK Agent available.

The source for UHK Agent is available at https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/agent so at some point someone could make some CLI utility to load a pure text config...

That said, the UHK Agent is available as an AppImage and it works astonishingly well for me, even on a non-mainstream Distro (Void Linux).

This is so true. I have just discovered it recently. Traditional office and commute routines simply do some of this work for you, although inefficiently and incompletely. You can be in charge of it, as today's technologies allow more and more people to do it, but you cannot altogether dismiss this very real human need.

Hospitals are certainly not resting. You might not have a scheduled procedure on the weekend, but those places certainly aren't resting. Public transport depends. Airports certainly aren't closing. Taxis still run. Some places will halt bus service, basically meaning poor folks cannot spend time with family on that day - other places don't halt much at all or simply have fewer buses. Gas stations are generally open. Emergency services are open and tow trucks are available. Many places have on-call HVAC folks available (for when heat breaks) and/or emergency plumbers/electricians. Utilities still have folks on-call to fix those. In some places, a pharmacy is open due to a hospital being nearby (mostly because the hospital won't really give out prescriptions).

"A common day of rest" depends on a portion of society doing their jobs on that day of rest, not to mention the ability to do the stuff they need to do the rest of the week.

I don't even think it makes sense to have a common day of rest - perhaps save a few (3-4) holidays a year. I don't see the issue with someone wanting to not miss work for the doctor and go on Sunday afternoon instead. Nor should it be odd for a family to get together on a Wednesday afternoon. Just make sure folks have the flexibility to do these things. The individual should definitely get days off, but that doesn't mean society should stop one day a week.

For biomedical research this is really not a large number of authors. Some very large clinical trials often have scores of authors, which isn't particularly surprising given that they cost $100s millions and take place across dozens of sites/hospitals/countries.

It’s not that they don’t auto adjust. It’s that they’re physically incapable of the range of light intensity we encounter in a normal day. For example, full afternoon sunlight is something like 150,000 lux, but normal house lighting is ~200(in a good scenario as high as 500-1000). The same is true on the other end of the scale.

The iPhone XS has a screen aspect ratio of 19.5:9 so most 16:9 content should be easily viewable with pillar boxing (black bars on the sides) and make the notch "disappear".

I'm fairly sure that this is the default and only if you double tap on the video to zoom in would it then fill the screen and make the notch noticeable.
