Probably yes, though - paying to "own" something which can't be separated from the service it arrived on would sound ridiculous in this day and age.

In the movie, when one of the people woke up from the Matrix - or died - they were flushed into the old sewer system. The water there should have been full of rotting corpses, yet the ship easily navigated through what appeared to be clear water.
I can report that the touchpad on a Dell XPS 13 under FreeBSD is absolutely horrendous (at least by default, and I haven't figure out how to tune it better yet). I hope all this talk about X and libinput really means "the open source ecosphere" and not really actually "Linux", because I want this too.
That's a major factor of why I avoid seed (vegetable) oils as much as reasonable... Mostly stick to butter, lard, coconut oil and sometimes nut oils. If it isn't animal derived or cold pressed, I tend to avoid it.
I'm not aware of any countries where no fees at all would be levied, but to provide two examples from Europe:

- In the EU, interchange rates are limited to 0.3% [1] for credit card transactions at physical terminals ("card present transactions"). That's not free, but it's an order of magnitude below US levels. Caps for other payment methods (card not present transactions and transactions made with debit cards) range from 0.2 to 1.5%.

- Some banks, or groups of banks, operate their own schemes (i.e. payment processing networks competing with Visa and Mastercard), and generally achieve lower fees. See [2] for one example where the price per transaction starts at $0.23 and goes down for transactions below $10, and for customers processing more than 10k transactions per year.

It may be surprising, but if you do the math, this is what we should expect.

According to http://www.marmet.org/cosmology/einsteincross/, the distance between images is on the order of 1.6 arcseconds. That's a bit under 10^(-5) radians. The difference in time here is proportional to the difference in cosines of the angles taken. An cos is proportional to the square of the angle in radians. Which means we'd expect a time difference on the order of 10^(-10) of the total time taken. If the distant object is several billion light years away, we would therefore expect time gaps in arrival time that can be measured in no more than months.
That is surprisingly old for China. I looked up a random source on the internet that was close to that. Doesn't really change your point though.

This article says Chinese median age in 2019 is 37.3 and us is 36.5. That's interesting that we are the same. China has the other problem of producing too many men and not enough women, leading to increasing problems of pressure. That problem of not enough women to match the men seems like it will be a worse problem.

Who makes the decision to hire and fire? Or decides what to prioritize after speaking with upper leadership and assigns resources? Managers deal with a ton of day to day stuff that most engineers should not have to worry about. I am a software team lead (not manager level in my company, our structure is strange, I report to a VP) but I have to manage several employees while also dealing with the customer to properly capture requirements and code.

I spend a couple hours a day in meetings and can then based on that tell, the developers what to focus on. Having the entire team in each of those meetings is a waste.

Managers for the most part act as meeting shields to the development team to optimally allow them to focus on writing good code with good motivated team mates.

But yes, some of them can micro manage and make things far worse than they should be. Few things are worse than working for a bad manager, especially glory hounds.

> I use an Asus computer, but I use GNU/Linux and almost never boot into Windows.

It probably depends on whether your computer came with windows pre-installed (not good), or you've ever installed the ASUS provided "ASUS Update" utility software for Windows.

It's a specific download, that you'd need to manually install.

AFAIK, most (tech) people consider it bloatware, so don't.

Appreciate the actionable ideas re: config file.

As far as the broader configurability questions, it's not so much that I want options libinput doesn't have (though that's a little bit of it).

It's more that I want the default behavior to be good enough where accessing the options aren't necessary (e.g., Macbook). In the event that the default options aren't that good, I want visual settings to tune the experience. Gnome 3 with libinput currently provides two options. Neither is pointer acceleration.

Since much of what I hope to improve the "feel" of default behavior, I don't think this could be as straightforward as "submit a PR to libinput." I think it could end up being a lot of work to get the default experience feeling great. The number of folks with interest in this esoteric subject seems to me like evidence of that.

Entitled and demanding behavior from deeply incompetent undergraduates is also increasingly common at big state universities. We might be tempted to blame a corrupt admissions process for that as well, but it's so widespread that it seems more like a cultural shift. I suppose it could be both -- admissions offices unable or unwilling to resist cultural changes, with the result that academic preparedness is no longer valued in the admissions process.

In my experience, there absolutely are plenty of hams out there who will triangulate you and report you for violations. You'd probably get away with a warning at first, to be fair, but many hams (at least around these parts) are old retired dudes with nothing better to do.

Mastercard/Visa aren't paying the rewards (that's on the issuing bank), they're not doing much fraud protection (again, largely the issuing bank), and they're not responsible for any of the defaults or payment issues (you guessed it, the issuing bank).

The issuing bank sets interest rates (and late/missed payment fees, and penalty rates, etc.) to cover at least the defaults and payment issues part.

Careful - that something happened in the past is no guarantee it'll happen again, especially if conditions change.

> wherever costs are lowest -- labor, raw materials, power, regulations, shipping.

Due to automation, labor costs will be less and less of a factor. Ocean shipping is already very cheap, and comprises a negligible fraction of the cost of most products - it's how markets in Europe are full of Chinese garlic. Raw materials can be shipped, so those are also not much of a factor. That leaves only power and regulations as factors. A smart country is likely to make sure those don't work against it, and to outsource only the most environmentally-harmful production steps.

There are still tariffs, but being willing to host polluting industries is otherwise dangerously close to being the only advantage an under-developed country has left.
As someone who has dabbled in the C++ program analysis space before: A _ton_ of effort has gone into this already. There's also a lot of promising stuff there already.

There's active research on how to best do aliasing/pointer analyses, both for optimizers and for linters.

I've often said that the holy grail of C++ program analysis is aliasing info that is perfect, local, and can be computed in a reasonable time. The current situation on this is basically "pick one", _sometimes_ "pick two" if you're good. Rust's design gets you all three by picking different defaults and asking for some extra annotations from the user. The kicker is: it's all based on existing research!

Firefox has its own static analysis and IIRC has looked into other static analysis stuff (the GC analyses are pretty awesome). C++ static analysis is good, but not good enough, in this case at least.
I'll have to check. I've read a lot about this case and I know there is some conflicting information on the Internet about it. I remember reading on a Japanese site that it was around 100 men who raped her. If I can find an English citation, I'll add it. Either way, what that girl suffered was horrific and it didn't need to be that way, had the police done their job.
This is a complete fabrication. Never have I heard of this happening, let alone it being a major phenomenon anywhere.

Review: The Square and the Tower
In Denmark, the Flynn effect began declining (although didn't yet start reversing) as early as the 70s:

> Teasdale and Owen (2005) examined the results of IQ tests given to Danish male conscripts. Between 1959 and 1979 the gains were 3 points per decade. Between 1979 and 1989 the increase approached 2 IQ points. Between 1989 and 1998 the gain was about 1.3 points.

I don't think that trend of declining growth, shifting into the negatives recently, has much to do with something in the 90s; the decline started much earlier and has been fairly linear and consistent over time.

Edit: In addition, most of these measurements have been taken from people in their mid-to-late teens — meaning that whatever caused the decline presumably started at least a decade before the decline was measured. TL;DR: I'm not convinced that social media or any reasonably-modern changes are to blame: this dates back to the Boomers or perhaps even earlier.
I agree 100%, and I also think Force Touch doesn't get the attention it deserves. To me the 2015 Macbook Pro is the pinnacle of laptop engineering because it added the Force Touch touchpad. Being able to click anywhere on the pad and configure the strength of the haptic feedback is huge. Not having haptic feedback, or having to use a separate button, or having it vary from top to bottom depending on how far I am from the hinge, is no longer acceptable to me.

Without Force Touch-like trackpad hardware, other laptops are still too far behind.
this is for people who install the "asus update" software, which is either found on install media cd or can be downloaded from the asus website.

> The real problem in farming is not cost but the fact that there are a lot of middlemen taking all the profits.

No, that's not the problem. The problem (if you view it as a problem) is that food is now produced very far away from where it is consumed, which means that the process of getting the food to the people who are eating it is now much more complicated and requires much more work. When you buy food at the supermarket, you are not just paying the people who farmed it; you are paying the people who got it all the way from the farm to the supermarket, which, these days, could well be a trip halfway around the world. There are indeed plenty of middlemen in this process, but they are adding value since food on a farm hundreds or thousands of miles from the consumer is no good to the consumer.

(This is not to say that there isn't corruption in the food distribution process; there certainly is. I mentioned government issues in another post in this thread.)
You're in a toxic work environment, and you need to get the fuck out of there.

> While it is impossible for an innocent suspect to reveal relevant information about a crime even under severe torture

This is, of course, untrue; desperate, babbling can be accurate by coincidence; if you do enough torturing of innocent people, you'll get a measurably-different-from-zero rate of accurate, previously unknown information.

> This is so completely unlike any western approach to justice that is familiar to me

The desire for sufficient proof of guilt before passing criminal sentence is very similar to the theory of proof underlying the utterly pervasive use of torture in some Western systems in the early modern period (which for serious offenses tended to require clear proof like the two-witnesses-to-the-same-overt-act rule still enshrined in the US Constitution for treason, but allowed weaker indications to be validated by a confession extracted under torture, so long as “freely” confirmed thereafter.)

Have you forgotten the PBA studies already? Microdoses of some compounds can interrupt signaling in the endocrine system. We don’t know which yet, but we know the phenomenon exists.

A cautious person would assume that lack of proof (or more accurately, lack of information proving or disproving) doesn’t mean lack of harm.

The percentage that merchants pay largely goes to the underlying (card-issuing) bank. They take some risk in chargebacks (not all chargebacks go back to the merchant). Additionally, the banks use the fees they collect to pay for their rewards programs.

That was not what I was trying to say, wrong as I may still be.

I meant to talk about nxn bit multiplication. If you scale n then, given the same basic architecture, you will also scale the circuit delay. When the delay scales linearly with the number of bits, I'd call that architecture O(n) in time. To me that seems to make intuitive sense, even though I might have that wrong. The term imul I used merely as a short hand for integer multiplication. I was not alluding to any specific architecture or width, there are plenty of CPU architectures out there using that mnemonic.

I think this is too pessimistic. If governments would stop messing around with subsidizing certain crops at the expense of others (not to mention so many third world governments cashing in on aid without any of it even getting to their people at all), food prices could be considerably cheaper than they are, even with pesticide-free farming methods. The main reasons for poverty today are political, not technical.

> The negligence it in the design of the system.

Not sure. It seems like a fairly generic update approach. eg a central server(s) provides available updates, with client software on the PC checking for them.

As a concept, that's what MS and Apple's update approaches (for consumers) do too.

It's just ASUS are extremely incompetent with anything software related, not just security.

Hopefully this, plus the previous fine for their incompetence, gets their leadership to change things in a positive way.

Ask HN: Feeling Adrift – Advice?
I have been working as a software engineer for about 6 years now. I started out working for a tiny startup with terrible management, but was coding for hours and hours a day and loved it.

After that job, I joined a startup that has been doing exceptionally well and is poised for IPO in the next year. But I feel miserable. I code for very few hours each day and sometimes not at all for a combination of reasons, but, in my experience largely because (a) there is a ton of stress because there is a good chance that what I write will be rejected, but I feel like I'm not receiving mentorship in terms of how to make it right (b) architect-level engineers and product can't really make up their minds about things and things get stuck in the design phase for a really, really long time, trying to achieve many design concerns.

I really don't know what to do. I'm concerned that in joining another company, I might find more problems. I really just want to code, work with a team that has clear direction and gets good things done. I don't know how to find that though.

Does anyone have any advice? Throwaway for obvious reasons.
