Here is why the middle ground wont work. Changing technology is a lot faster than changing human nature. Propoganda works because it exploits how our mind works. Sure we can learn to listen to our better angels more often--we need better media education and critical thinking in schools for sure. But that takes time, and it's not perfect either. In many cases, the problems are better served with changing the plarforms or the technology.
Ask HN: How OS detect keyboard layout?
I was just build GH60 keyboard, and set the key using this dvorak layout here http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/2f5956676fb8761a4fe504d32e118470. It works perfectly on qwerty layout in windows and linux, but not detected as dvorak keyboard and doesn't work in dvorak layout.

It is make me wondering how the windows or linux detect keyboard layout?
Back of the napkin level calculation says that if you had about 675 bitcoin in 2010, it would've been worth $10,625,000 if you'd sold it at the $17,000 peak.
I don't know, "unleaded" sounds kind of like "unleavened", where leavening was never added in the first place. I think "deleaded" might be closer to "lead removed", if it were a word.
Sure, it's just much more tangible when you actively choose to work for a VC-backed tech co that has accepted Saudi money, especially coming off the news that Saudis are funding a large percentage of Softbank's newest fund.
Beyond what you pointed out, it's hard to really know what's going on with something closed source. Disclosure: I run jivesearch.com (basically, an open source version of DDG). FYI, we've got an open issue on GitHub to add POST requests in addition to a proxy.
Because it is fake competition, which is pretty much what we get anymore. With real competition, one of the two places might do a better job of pleasing customers and get most of the business. With real competition, the employees preparing and serving the food will get a free market wage. Otherwise, it is all Disneypeople serving Disneyfood.
Some factors to consider.

1. Reduced distance to the sun meaning the amount of solor collected increases.

2. Less interference from atmosphere, clouds and smog

Cons.

1. The distance reduction is minute. The highest you could go and still be considered on earth is the peak of everest at 8.8 km. The earth is 150,000,000 km from the sun. The trig fails me but this is close enough to zero as to make no difference.

2. Reduction in things covering the panel should yield a better increase in voltage.

I'd say being in the middle of a desert, at sea level, would be much better than the top of Everest.

Also, beingcloser to the equator will yield better results than elevation due to angle of the sun's ray.

My ancestors, not so many generations ago, got on a boat to the other side of the world not even sure how long it would take (75 to 120 days) or if they would get there: it's extraordinary to me that I can do the same journey 2 or 3 times a year, in 26 hours: 17 hours from Auckland to Dubai, 2 hour wait, 7 hours to London.

I fly a lot between hemispheres and I have to say, I LOVE the long range flights rather than being interrupted after 12 hours in Singapore then having to mentally prepare for another 12 hours. I prefer to just sink into myself on the 17 hour flight and then be excited for "only" another 7 hours. The day I can fly direct from Auckland to London I'll be delighted.
The utility I get from Joe Rogan interviewing experts is that he asks a lot of clarifying questions to help bring the material back down to a more understandable level.

The effects of global warming are going to be quite minor. Mostly having to build levees / relocate low lying buildings. Very expensive, but hardly a doomsday scenario. Not as big a deal imo as other man made threats to the environment (and to ourselves).
As a dev I was pretty anxious about the quality of results from DDG but a couple of months into my experiment I’ve only found myself going back to Google for dev-related searches a handful of times (maybe 2 handfuls).

So I’m now sold on DDG. Yeh sure there are cool little helpers in Google that DDG doesn’t have (yet) but can’t think of any right now that I miss so they can’t be too important.

> Compared to e.g. a Lamborghini, it's not nearly as loud in appearance and can almost pass for a normal car in a grocery store parking lot

Kinda depends on which Lamborghini; an Urus probably does a better job at paying for normal in a grocery store parking lot (and is better for actually carrying groceries) than a 911.

This is fine and nice by default, but there should be a way to disable it. Sometimes you are really searching for a specific word, and really don't want any other substitution.

I see it a lot Google searching for electronics terms, where combining common and unusual term sometimes causes unusual term to be ignored. The quotes used to help, but they no longer do.

Really, there are so many unexplored ways of connecting people who are struggling with a concept with just the information they need. Who wants to watch a ten minute video to hear about that one equation three quarters of the way through? Just learn what helps people like them and offer it up as potential solutions while they are working through problems.

Yeah, absolutely. There's still a lot of untapped potential in this area.
Rent rises with the productivity of locations, and density makes locations more productive in the aggregate. Agglomeration is the economic term for why that is.

It may seem paradoxical to you, but supply and demand simply doesn't function the same way when it comes to land. The supply of land is fixed. That is why rents are more like monopoly pricing.

Ask HN: Is there a good alternative to software registration keys?
I'm about to introduce a new revenue model to a service I run with no user accounts. Users will purchase short-term vouchers to enable certain features in the app, and I'm planning to generate random 32-character strings that users can paste into the app once they've purchased.

But software keys are unwieldy, not nice to look at, and often users get confused (I've used keys like this in the past and got a lot of support requests).

Anyone got a better approach?

I've considered using images with data embedded and hashing them, using a bitcoin-style seed word approach, but nothing really feels right.

I've done my own benchmarks where I've hit over 100 TFLOPS on the V100, and that's about 85% of the peak theoretical throughout of them. Granted the matrix size needs to be large enough, but it's definitely doable. Anandtech also showed similar results in their V100 review. I haven't yet seen a comparable SGEMM done on the 2080Ti, so I don't know how it'll compare. I have some coming in at the end of the month though, so I should know soon.
And I thought the 7400 series with DIP socket were the odd ones...
That's the way the world is. People only seem to sit up and take notice of terrible things on occasion. The answer isn't to be critical of them taking notice now, but to use it to make them aware of the other terrible things the same group is also doing.
Having the government outline minimum penalties for data breaches would go a long way toward fixing the problem. It’s much easier to justify fixing a known issue or dedicating time to updating dependencies if you know there’s a defined cost (per customer!) of failing to do so.

The proliferation of apps for musicians on iOS (drums, guitar amps) is explained by the iOS's longstanding API for low-latency audio. I hope we can expect the same kinds of apps, with usable latency, for Android now too.
Yes, it can. That is the most likely scenario, IMHO.

It's also not an issue in Python's dictionary literal syntax:

>>> {{'a': 1}, {'a': 2}}
{'a': 2}

So the multiple keyword argument problem isn't an inherent issue with so much as it's a problem with keyword arguments being specified twice (which has been a restriction since before they allowed multiple to be used).

4chan.org is the 212th most popular website in the U.S. at time of writing. This implies that it is able to attract plenty of different kinds of people and that the trolls aren't driving the rest away. If you go on most boards it's pretty easy to find interesting content and it's not particularly surprising that the site has remained a staple of internet culture for 15 years. I think that one of the main reasons for this is that the design of the site doesn't inherently require users to think beyond the scope of their individual posts. In general, there is no persistent identity and the visibility of posts is not determined by any kind of like/dislike feature. People post things and there is no kind of long term reward or punishment for posting "right" and "wrong" things. This kind of structure tends to create a community which is a lot less prone to group masturbation and smug and self righteous than certain other internet communities where long term identity and other people's opinions of your posts actually sort of matter. There is value in that idea, even if the that community type it's not for everyone.

While dropping tarrifs on Chinese goods seems like a strong response, it really does much more harm to us. The level of tarrif needed to make a widget made in America cheaper than the Chinese counterpart would drive the cost of the end product up so high as to drastically damage people's ability to purchase, well, almost anything.
Review: Free Solo climbs new, terrifying documentary heights
> China and Japan both use far more cash than the USA. Cloud, especially cloud providers, is way more mature in the USA. Car sharing ditto. Try finding a car charging station at a Chinese supermarket parking lot like you’d find at Whole Foods, etc.

I agree. But that's the difference between US until the last decade and today. Cloud providers here are mature because Amazon pioneered it in the last decade.

But AI on cloud is all Alibaba. We don't hear about it here in US media but US companies are playing catchup.

Same for charging stations. They don't need a charging station in whole foods because most people don't even drive as much. They order groceries on apps. Even if they do, charging stations are present in gas stations there. Their low cost cheap cars have features that rival Tesla (albeit at a lower quality and lower price)

We here in the US just don't get this shown to us in media.
LTSB is just lovely. Maybe the best part of having access to an MSDN subscription these days. It'd be worth paying a premium for as a consumer, if they ever wanted to; manufacturers are slighly better than they once were, but it's still a necessary first step to wipe disks and install a crapware free Windows immediately on a new machine, and LTSB is far and away the best for that.

WSL would be nice, but it's better all in all to just spin up a ubuntu vm in hyperv.

Does this mean we will finally get decent musicmaking apps on Android?

A decade after iOS, I guess it comes in from the "better late than never department", but I am happy. Apple seems to have lost its focus on the creative usage of their devices, and it has somewhat stagnated (compared to the initial explosion), plus iOS apps tend to be pricey.

Apple's decision to not include the headphone jack effectively puts the kibosh on their realtime audio / musicmaking apps. The latency on AirPods is atrocious. You press a key on a virtual keyboard, and count to three before you hear a sound.

Yes, this is probably solved by a dongle. Eh, I'd rather carry my Yamaha Reface DX around than think about that -- and the developers are going to have a FunTime(tm) explaining this to the users. (The sole reason musicians love iDevices so much is the JustWorks(tm) aspect - well, that just went out the window).

This Android API just might start a new wave. The video appeals to the synth nerd in me. The gear, the T-Shirt, the code samples doing the right thing.

I am looking forward to what this will bring us.

Replacing a 555 timer is a very common job for this type of part. It will typically have an internal oscillator, so it won't need the additional components the 555 needs, reducing cost further. Even if you use something more expensive like an ATtiny (cut down version of the microcontroller found in Arduinos, so very easy to develop for) it might still be competitive because of the reduced parts count and board space.

I've always had a conspiracy theory that this is not true and that the "do not disturb and you'll be fine" theory was put forth to save all the home owners who would otherwise be told their homes are worthless or extremely expensive to properly fix.

The FAQ[0] provides a better overview,

> CHERI refers to Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions, an Instruction-Set Architecture (ISA) extension that implements a hybrid capability-system model providing fine-grained memory protection and scalable software compartmentalisation within processes. CHERI capabilities are a new hardware data type intended to support the robust and secure implementation of pointers. Capabilities hold a virtual address as well as metadata describing the memory resources referenced by the pointer (bounds, permissions, ...) ... The architecture (and hence hardware) protects pointers in registers and memory, controlling their creation and use (e.g., nonforgeability and nonbypassability), manipulation (e.g., enforcing monotonicity on bounds modifications and permissions), ensuring only authorized use (e.g., dereference within bounds), and also their in-memory integrity (e.g., detecting pointer corruption or injection). Policies are expressed by the software (OS, compiler, language runtime, and application) and enforced by the hardware.
