Another way to think about it: It's because 1.5 > √2.

To exactly double the area of a figure, scale any linear dimension up by √2. If you scale by more than that, you'll more than double the area.
Really?

Are you referring to existing technology, or some kind of Sci fi holodeck thing?

I can think of 2 broad categories of potential computer program. The first, old world computer programs, and I can't see flicking through virtual files in a virtual filling cabinet being an improvement over what we have now.
And the 2nd category is 'real world' computer programs. Basically simulating real life. So ranging from VR watching the tv (what's the point) to white water rafting. Which I can see, but that's basically back to computer games. Which is the thing the VR always ends up being used for.
Why do people think it's a good idea to post a 1700 word writeup on Twitter? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm legitimately curious why anyone would want do this. Do you think your audience enjoys reading tiny post after tiny post? Do you just love posting short messages in sequence SMS-style?

A lot of books published before 1964 in the United States are out of copyright:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_renewal_in_the_Unite...

Works published before 1964 in the US are all in the public domain, excepting only those for which a renewal was registered with the US Copyright Office. Relatively few works from this era have had their copyrights renewed. A US Copyright Office study in 1961 found that fewer than 15% of registered copyrights had been renewed.

Google Books, last time I looked, applied a blanket year-based cutoff rule and did not allow full view access to these works that failed to renew their copyrights, unless publishers explicitly opted in. Other institutions like the Internet Archive and HathiTrust have put more work into determining the copyright status of individual pre-1964 works and opening the public domain works up for full view.

That is a really low cost. That's within crowdfunding territory. If a potato salad could make it big, why not fund a major event in web history? I'm thinking stretch goals like t-shirts and mugs.
How do I eat a snack in VR?

I almost exclusively watch shows while drinking coffee.
I used to work work for a company involved in 10GE some years ago.

I believe maintaining would be no link drops, but would include fast-retrains, where the cable coefficients are quickly synced without losing link, resulting in some number of dropped packets around the event. Low signal-to-noise will result in a higher bit error rate and sporadically dropped packets.

Adding aggressors (noisy fluorescent tubes, power lines, RF transmitters, etc) would eat away at the margin. But, if you're doing short runs (like 30m), then you've got absolute loads of headroom, at least with the fairly standard equipment we were testing. And also, the bit error rate is for full speed. If you don't have constant 10G traffic, then your error rate will be proportionally lower since there will be a bunch of "idle" time.

When testing these, there's a bit error rate test performed at different lengths of cable. IEEE used to recommend something like 10^-13 (not sure if this has changed), but we would test, with some margin, at the full 100m using cables wrapped on spools (no external aggressors). We would also test with a "5 around 1" configuration, with 5 other fully active cables tied around the cable under test. If I recall correctly, this test required the full 10^-13. All of these cables were periodically verified to meet all specs.

But regarding cable quality, we would buy thousands of meters of cable without issues, from good vendors. You may have trouble finding compliant cable from China. If there was a problem, it was usually from someone bending and putting a permanent kink in the cable (causing a discontinuity in the impedance) or closing a door on it.
Download an export and import it into gnucash. It remembers previously processed items. It's a manual process, but much easier to do a monthly export than record items one by one.
It depends on the context.

Lettuce is 95% water, and has almost no calories (Definitely not the best source of nutrients if you live in a cold climate). We can't live eating only vitamins. A human brain needs a lot of sugar to work. Without a continuous supply of sugar our brain would die in minutes.
>1) Writing on virtual whiteboard in VR just doesn't feel right, there's no tactile feedback. It's doable but doesn't beat a real whiteboard (nothing beats a real whiteboard)

Well, the main benefit of writing on a whiteboard is for you to draw your thoughts and for others to see what you wrote/drew. Not to get tactile feedback.

Besides it would be trivial to actually write on a whiteboard on your office while wearing a VR headset and have it be seen by others in VR space in different offices/countries (thus getting the "tactile feedback" as well).

Presumably the logic is more "nobody has published any footage, so there probably isn't any".

I have footage of Trump and Hillary leaving a Motel together. Do you believe me? Why not - have you watched all the footage? Didn't think so...
Another big one is mining. Often the machinery doesn't have a duplicate, and the mine loses millions of dollars per hour of downtime, operating on already thin margins. Reducing maintenance times and risks by having the apprentices practice first in VR so they aren't a burden on the experienced technicians is a huge opportunity.
I don't think it's so terrible. E.g. if you buy real estate and live in it, then you can deduct 250K gains for a single person or 500K gains for a couple. To that end, you'll only be paying capital gains if you did very well.
That charge makes no sense. By that logic, were Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey also tools of the Russian government?
As a non-dev, this trend makes everything feel overcomplicated, self-aggrandizing, and less approachable.

Are the "PRO" badges that have been showing up on Github profiles today in any way related to this?
Microsoft isn't even trying to directly make money off GitHub Enterprise. What they're doing is plugging GitHub into a giant ecosystem of Azure-related services that they sell to large corporations for millions of dollars per year per customer. They could give away GitHub for free entirely, and might, if there's a one-click "deploy to Azure" and similar functionality that brings people into the Microsoft shop.
Tech pop-culture... Navigating these technology growth explosions is like searching for solid reference architecture in a booming shantytown. Some parts of these settlements eventually get things like running water, working sewage, urban planning.
At that point it's just background noise. But I'll grant you that. I think those shortcomings are just a matter of improving current VR technology to make it less invasive more than an absolute limitation of the medium.
I love working for startups, but not working for startups that have VC money -- the involvement of VCs changes the nature of everything.

But then, my goal is primarily to do meaningful work on interesting projects. I have little interest in getting rich.
One example would be a url router for a web server that turns the url variables into the handler's expected argument type and ignores requests that do not.

router.get('/users/:id', (id: UUID) => ...)
router.get('/products/:id', (id: Int) => ...)
So if he is just "shitposting", why pursue him?
It's surprisingly not that hard to have a snack with a headset on. Probably even easier when VR is just a pair of glasses.
VR will certainly be big, but it'll be a while until it gets there. What we have at the moment is... not that. It's a nice tech demo with a few uses for gaming and training purposes, but it's a far cry away from what people would want to use on a more regular basis.

When it gets to the point of direct brain connections and input controlled directly by your mind/body (like say, The Matrix or many fictional works with 'lotus eater machines'), then that's where the market will take off. Gaming would see its biggest tech leap since 3D became a big thing in the 90s, theme parks would see a boom in activity, remote working would become virtually indistinguishable from the real thing and the internet would see a bit of a revolution too.

But while clunky helmets and controllers/mice/whatever are needed, it's not gonna take off or go mainstream.
Of course it's not doomed.
But your position on "too much immigrants" is xenophobic, regardless of how you see it.

You're literally ignoring the fact, that most congestion in London and S/E England is due to internal migration. You're blaming EU migrants for your discomfort, the ones that are most likely to work for a bit and go back to their countries.
True, but the is also a flipside. Technologists solved the transportation problem, but introduced health and urban planning problems as a result. The point is that people are becoming more savvy at spotting the downsides of technologies. In particular, using VR will probably result in more sedentary hours, which is something that people seem to want to move away from.
Outside their buildings you can have at it 24/7 365 days a year. But inside, there are decorum rules that everyone must follow to allow their respective institutions to function. That absolutely is a trade off that everyone, except muckrakers, would agree with.

On the other end of the spectrum (not testing specifications, but just simply "does it network?"), I have successfully ran a 100BASE-TX connection between industrial equipment using individual (not twisted) 24-AWG wires over 20ft.
However the declaration-mirrors-use idea does not apply to function arguments. If you have "void (* f)(int * arg)", you would not use it like "(* f)(* arg)" unless your arg is actually "int * * ".

This could be fixed. Instead of "void (* f)(int * x)" we would write "void (* f)(x &int)". Now it makes sense, the declaration says that we could call the function if we pass the address of some int y, as if by "(* f)(&y)". The specific syntax "x &int" says that the address of an int is x, the same way as "int * x" says that dereferenced x is an int.

What about "void (* f)(int x[10])" (pretending arrays could actually be passed)? With the pointer we relied on the existing opposite of the dereference operator, but there is nothing like that for arrays, that would make an array out of an element. Let's look to Python for inspiration, where the expression "[y]* N" will make a list of N elements with the value y. This gives us: "void (* f)(x [int]* N)". See how the declaration tells us that we could call the function using "(* f)([y]* N)" for some int y.

There's one more we need to solve: "void (* f)(void (* g)(int))". Since the parameter g of * f is a function pointer, we need to pass the address of a function, so clearly & will be involved. But we need a function to take the address of, and we don't have any available. Inspired by the C++ lambda syntax, let's invent function conjuration: "(Args) -> Ret" is an expression that conjures a function taking Args and returning Ret. Hence the solution: "void (* f)(g &(int) -> void)". It says that you could write "(* f)(&(int) -> void)", to call * f with the address of a conjured function taking an int and returning void.

We do need to be aware that the syntax for arguments in function conjuration expressions is the same as in top-level declarations. So we would need to rewrite "void (* f)(void (* g)(void (* h)(int * x)))" as
"void (* f)(g &(void (* h)(x &int)) -> void)". So for each function pointer, its arguments must be declared in the other declaration mode.

Since this makes no sense at all, we have to conclude that the original C declaration syntax forms needs to be deprecated and only the newly invented syntax forms should be used.

x &int; (int * x)
x &&int; (int * * x)
f &(x &int) -> void; (void (* f)(int * x))
f &(x [int]* 10) -> void; (void (* f)(int x[10]))

The new syntax can also be used for function declarations:

main (argc int, argv [&char]*?) -> int
{
return 0;
}

See how we've invented a different declaration syntax (some sort of dual of C's current syntax), that actually respects "declaration-mirrors-use" better than C does and makes much more sense to humans.
While I agree with you, I just started a new project and we need a decent amount of backend work done, and I wanted to do that in Golang, Java, or Rust, but no one else on the team knows Golang, Java or Rust, just Javascript and Typescript so it made sense to go with a language the team was good with. So far I'm liking typescript on the backend, especially because we use it on the frontend. Also my coworkers can give me much better code reviews because they all know the language. But we will see going forward, still very much a green field project.
I "legitimately" don't know which of those you're asking.
Thanks for the links. I don't think it's fair to call a voluntary agreement in exchange for asylum a "gag order", and I don't think that Wikileaks as an organization would be subject to the agreement, but you are right: it doesn't seem impossible that this approach is an end-run around the agreement.

On the other hand, I'm doubtful that there is sufficient incentive for Assange to try such a workaround. My Spanish is weak, but it looks like the last few lines of the agreement say that it can be unilaterally modified by the Embassy at any time. This would seem to negate any advantage of adhering to the word but not the spirit of the agreement.

Ask HN: Value in Forcing Whiteboard Coding Interviews?
I've been coding professionally for 10 years and otherwise for over 20 years. However I know myself, I don't do well on whiteboard coding interviews.

Because of this, I bring my own laptop to ask if I can code on. In general as the rooms you could be white board coding on are conference rooms, they almost always (i.e. I have never encountered otherwise) a monitor that one can project one's laptop onto. However, I'm not always given permission and sometimes am forced to code on a whiteboard. In practice, my experience is that smaller companies are more willing to allow me to do use my laptop, while the big names are less willing (you can guess who they are)

I feel that any company that feels it supports people who are not neurotypical but doesn't allow this, is fooling themselves (one might even argue discriminating against a class of people). I'm fairly typical, but I have learned about myself that I have a very difficult time organizing my coding thoughts (as opposed to design thought) on a white board. It's the closest I have come to understanding what dyslexic people must experience when they read, I simply don't perceive code written out longhand the same way that I perceive code in a fixed width font on my screen. I write code as I'd type it on my laptop, but then I get lost, I'm looking at the code on the whiteboard, but I'm not processing it.

From my perspective, I don't see the value of forcing one to code on a whiteboard vs a laptop. I do see the value in forcing one to do design work on a whiteboard. In the former case, it bares no similarity to the way almost all engineers work day in and day out, while in the later case it does.

Am I missing something? Is their a particular value that whiteboard coding shows off that coding on a laptop does not?

[I realize similar questions have been asked in the past on hacker news, but perhaps my perspective is new]
> Have you not seen Steam Play these last few months? Because of Proton the majority of the top 250 highest rated games now run fine on Linux.

Put me in the skeptical camp, I've been hearing the same line with wine support for nearly 2 decades and never found it to be remotely true.

I've had enough trouble getting the actual linux supported games to work. Some work with gnome+wayland, others only work in gnome+xorg, some silently fail, some just freeze, open source AMD drivers still crash the whole machine, etc.

Took a while to be able to reply!

Some constitutional law is also administrative law. Much in the same way that constitutional law can also be part of the law of contracts or part of the law of torts. Administrative law is the law relating to government due process.

The overarching 'bucket' of theory we ascribe to a discussion is purely out of convenience, but the core principles animating the discussion in this case are at the heart of administrative law, hence the use of the term.

We could say this ruling was "Social Media Law" and be correct (and this term and grouping would be interesting in certain contexts, too!).

In regards to the standard, arbitrary and capricious is a term of art regarding decision-making, referring to some of the worst possible government behavior. Without getting into the details of how admin law works, let's just say arbitrary and capricious behaviour - the hallmark of tyrants - is the big bad that administrative law aims to battle against. The term also refers to a standard of review, but that's more an indication of deference - that the courts won't fight against decisions they don't feel competent to deal with unless they're that bad.

To answer the second portion of your question, the limitation on the scope of admin law is government, not the legislature and it's devolved structures. If I had to bet, I'd say the most common use of administrative law falls purely within the judiciary, as all appeals are all functionally administrative reviews of a prior decision.
Its not that 5E is better, its about the application. Either you need near full length runs of 6A for 10G, and you need to have it carefully terminated (which is a large problem in a lot of installs, more so than the actual cable) or you have short runs which will work just as well over just about anything that isn't completely screwed up.

Maybe another way to put it is this: doing a poor CAT6 install (as this article points out most are) isn't buying you anything over cat 5E, your spending money for nothing.

That's interesting, my XPS 15 9575 can charge from seemingly almost any power supply, including those 5V 2.4A USB wall warts, as long as it's off or the lid is closed. I do have to connect the charger after it enters sleep mode though.

I seem to remember there being relatively complete access to the S3 baseband at one point. Not sure I'd use it as a daily driver though. The S3 had big problems with the eMMC suddenly dying.
First answer: probably not (it's a grey area but closer to the light side of the grey area as far as we know based on this one ruling which could be overridden by a later ruling), unless that private page was run as a part of the official's office or duties. The ruling is pretty (but not totally) explicit about this.

So you can't for instance take reports of potholes that need to be filled in on a page restricted to Cook County Democrats, but you as a public official can be a member of any number of private Facebook groups that are closed to (your family, your party members, people in the same Elks lodge, &c).

Second answer: you almost certainly cannot as a function of your office or in any way with a sufficiently large nexus to your duties as a public official operate a forum of any sort on a site whose membership policies, were the site to be operated as a government agency, would violate the Constitution. So, no, you can't take reports about potholes on Stormfront or whatever.
This is becoming more and more tempting...

If we're talking "escaping together" you could be inside some virtual world (e.g. a virtual game of thrones 3D environment) watching events or playing together.
