This study seems very low value, to me.

There are so many variables effecting these decisions.

1. Work activity
I would never record music, with only one monitor, because I use many programs, which are synced, and have LOTS of buttons and faders and valuable information, in -real time-. That makes the time spent adjusting settings, while replaying the same parts, using plugins while recording an instrument alone etc., a very dissatisfying experience.

Gathering information on the other hand, for me is easily accomplished with one screen. I then just snapshot every interesting/relevant peace of information with key combos, and look through it in bulk, afterwards.

Browsing the web, while chatting with friends, watching some youtube videos and listening to music, is for me doable on a single screen, since I use a tiling manager, but I still prefer the second screen available in this "idling" scenario.

I also have a monitor vertically oriented, to get more text without scrolling down, on ex. email, hacker news, and other text based applications and websites.

2. Health of user; I have trouble sitting in one position for longer amounts of time. Airplanes are a hazzle, so are boats and busses. Anyhow, this forces me to move a lot and change position, which in turn could just as easily be combined with moving my head, and still be beneficial to me, health vice (and I have not seen studies showing static sitting posture and head placement, to be lean and healthy).

3. Type of work
If you work with computer administration of live data of any kind, a vertical monitor to watch alerts, changes, numbers and data - will in my experience, be more informational than a horizontal monitor feeding the same information. I understand this is also due to Graphical representation of given data, but still, It seems easier to similar information in columns.

4. User capacity
Not all users can take advantage of their WM.
Not all users can take advantage of the extra space, with two monitors.
If the user do not adapt to the given setup, they will off course be better off, keep working as they have done and are used to. It is like giving someone a keyboard driven tiling window manager.. Some will thrive, learning the combos and adding their own. Others will rip out their hair in frustration, claiming tiling wm's are dumb, inefficient and just not giving any advantage in regard to work tempo.

5. Proparbly lots of other similar arguments going the same way.

I therefor conclude; there IS NO best monitor-size or amount of monitors. It depends on the work, the user, and the userspace.
I appear to be in the minority. I use 3 24" monitors at work because it's the most I can fit on my desk, but at home I bought a 6-monitor stand and have a 2x3 grid of 22-24" displays.

It's perfect for project work - one display for the site I'm building, one for my IDE, one for 2 terminals split vertically, two displays for documentation/research, and one for messaging/music/misc other stuff.

I wouldn't ever go back to fewer displays, and only wish I had bought the 8-monitor stand instead.
Pretty much any modern OS supports SCTP. HTTP wasn't built off it because HTTP came long before SCTP, but you won't find many protocols built off SCTP anyway, because it's poorly supported by middle-boxes and firewalls. Just look at any cloud firewall for example, you can open TCP or UDP, but not SCP or any of the "lesser known" protocols. It's currently in an unfortunate chicken and egg problem, where crappy firewalls don't support it because it's rarely used, and it's rarely used because crappy firewalls don't support it, but are everywhere on the public internet.

HTTP3 actually does propose changing the transport protocol, but to QUIC, which is a transport over UDP.
Someone should tell politicians about how radio waves propagate and the inverse square law: the cellphone kept in their pocket, very often more than one, expose them to a lot stronger EM fields than any tower they might have nearby.
Or maybe they already know that, but banning or imposing restrictions on cellphones would destroy their careers.
No, but it seems like they might be neglecting issues that are affecting their constituents health (potentially easy to fix by the sounds of it) and focusing on the current fashionable moral panic.
Who still operates 2G networks? It's not at all profitable to use such spectrum-inefficient tech in any area that has enough density of customers to warrant running a cell tower in the first place. 3G networks are starting to be phased out already, because upgrading radios is cheaper than acquiring spectrum that's currently allocated to incumbent non-cellular uses—and holdouts running obsolete phones aren't numerous enough to worry carriers.
I have a setup similar to GP’s except with a horizontal monitor between the two vertical monitors. The part of my desk holding the monitors is physically separate from the part my keyboard rests on so I can sit as close or as far away as I like. I tend to sit father back than I do with my gaming rig which is a single curved ultra wide. Probably better on my eyes. Most of my work is on the horizontal screen. Vertical screens are typically used for referencing information or if I use them heavily for other purposes I tend to have windows at the same level of as the horizontal screen.

I have stopped using Airbnb in part because of this issue. I also grew weary of the random and sometimes arduous “check-in” processes, which is different for every location as it is designed by the host. A recent one I did started like this: there is a key under the mat, that lets you in to the apartment garage, go in there and on your left there are key locks hooked on the fence, find the blue one and enter code...
It’s just not a pleasant experience, especially after a long day of travel.
Peripheral vision helps with anchoring where and what something is. If what I'm looking at suddenly changes to something else, there's a moment of disorientation, too brief to react to, but still enough to interrupt my train of thought. If pressing cmd+tab didn't actually produce the very next thing I needed to see, this is even worse, since now I need to consciously decide if what I'm looking at is the right thing, press cmd+tab again, wait until I understand what I'm looking at, etc. I feel confident that this is not a problem unique to me, due to the existence of extensions like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=johnpapa... , which colors window borders differently to allow reducing this delay.

If I turn my head to look at a window that I could vaguely see in the edge of my vision, there's no such disruption, at least consciously. It feels as though turning my head doesn't require any conscious attention at all, unlike the "what am I looking at? Is this what I expected? What was I thinking?" process that happens with hidden-to-visible transitions. By the time my head has turned to bring the window on the other monitor into the center of my vision, I already have the visual context, and in the meantime, I haven't lost my train of thought.
I know, but the “email off a design” solution has been around for more than 10 years. I don’t even do prototyping of boards I do for my own projects, I just plan them so I have other things to do for a month while I wait for the cheap pcbs
Without knowing the specifics, I think it's one instance where any variance from the default, when intentionally set by an user, is an additional signal for fingerprinting.

(It's becoming a nice excuse to clamp down on configurability, without considering if the APIs really should be available to authors.)
I am Japanese, who was in Japan and experienced Fukushima melt down in 2011(although I was not in Fukushima, Tokyo). From my perspective, people in HN village are missing a very crucial point. Nuclear power is not a problem of engineering or math, it is a problem of human nature. Yeah, I can understand the technology can control nuclear reaction 100% well, but who operate reactors? Who decide how reactors should be operated? Who develop software to control reactors? The answer is people! People in HN are so smart and very rational, so they cannot see sometimes irrational decisions are made(as happened in Fukushima) and they cannot understand some idiots do terribly stupid things(as happened in Tokaimura JOC accident).
As long as human beings are involved, nothing can be perfect and safe.

Also, I see in some comments people think impacts of nuclear accidents and wastes can be limited and localized. In Japan, as of 18/08, 60000 people still live in temporary housing due to Fukushima incident. We still struggle to remove debris out of nuclear power plants, and it's said it will take around 30-40 years.

For me, the impact of this disaster is anything but "trivial".

Doesn’t apple disallow these types of apps? AdGuard has to discontinue their VPN based ad blocker due to Apple’s chance of policy [0]. I’m not sure why guardian app is any different? Looks like MalwareBytes had the same issue, which would be more inline with GuardianApp’s stated goal of being a firewall. I don’t see how this app will be allowed.

Indeed, but I just learned about the DOM mutation API[1], that can be used here. This also makes sense when additional content is loaded later via AJAX (was achieving that with setInterval).

There are much fewer visual elements after the redesign. Take the post view as an example. The new design removes my subreddits, sub description & recent viewed posts and tries to hide all other elements like share links / absolute last replied date from the page. Same as the reason for the success of iPad, People like my mom feel petrified for a UI with many choices. In the new design if you look at the screen from meters away, you can easily identify the reply box & reply button as the only prominent visual element.
My suggestion for improvement:

UK needs more 20M+ people cities, and more density.

What about relocating northern cities population to the South and building new cities there?
I tried this last year and eventually gave up.

I definitely prefer the Ubuntu shell experience, command line, etc. They’ve done a great job.

But the last mile is still too rough. Battery life, sleep/wake, font rendering, Bluetooth, all still have problems even on a Dell XPS 13 9370.

After a few months I just didn’t want to mess with it and went back.

Windows has gotten a lot better but still does a lot of befuddling and annoying things. WSL saves it.
I found that the most problems are for the eyes, if the monitors take too much of your FOV. I worked in the past with 8 monitors and after a while it really impairs my ability to focus far away. Luckily it seems reversible after several months, especially if you spend a lot of time outside looking far away.

In the example you link, there are 18 coloured lines, 4 of which are not green: 4/18 = ~0.22 = ~22%. This tallies-up as expected with the 77.78% coverage shown at the top of the file.

Codecov* doesn't count an 'if' statement as having full coverage unless one tests both outcomes: so the yellow lines here have been executed, but do not count towards your coverage score.

Granted, one could argue that that's not very generous! But on the other hand: those yellow lines have not been fully tested, despite being executed, so I can understand their decision.

In the linked code, just implement a couple of simple tests to test for the expected error conditions: it's easy (here at least) and ensures the code behaves as expected. (Obviously not all partial/no coverage lines will be so easy to hit with tests, it might not always be possible to easily get 100% coverage, but hey: start with the low hanging fruit!)

* I say Codecov here, but I highly suspect that they may simply be using Go's coverage reports under the hood?

You don’t have to collect that much data from users in a given market (Europe), if you’ve already collected [and continue to collect] so much other data from users in other markets (America) that you’ve built up predictive models that only need a few hints in order to map a user to one of a well-known constellation of “profiles” that advertisers target their ads towards.

Basically, GDPR only prevents DMPs from training their models using your app’s data (i.e. exfiltrating the user’s personal details from the client to a backend.) If, on the other hand, the DMP comes to you with an advertising library that runs entirely client-side and embeds a pre-trained model; where, when you call this library, it decides what profile of theirs a user slots into by doing things like e.g. “young or old based on how they type on a touch keyboard” (but in a much more clever ML-dictated fashion)... then there’s no violation here. You’re using the user’s personal data to derive a category to place them into; but you’re not recording or sending the user’s personal data anywhere.

And when you, as an app, turn around and make a request to an ad network for ad media to display based on that profile, that’s not a violation of GDPR either: the derived profile is no longer information about a particular user, but is rather just a group that the user belongs to, with each profiling group being so large that that assertion-of-fact doesn’t help to de-anonymize the user any more than saying “they’re a human being” does—it’s not information that could be mapped back to the individual user. So it’s fine to send out.

It can be taken a level further, as well; such “statistics that convert to a profile” can be aggregated into one per-app profile. At that point, you’re doing exactly what magazine publishers do: looking at the audience for a given magazine, building a summary profile of said audience, and then selling ad space to advertisers who want to target that summary profile.

Of course, that same library will probably do a region check, and in the case that you’re not in the GDPR-affected area of the world, it will skip its (slightly crap) client-side detection logic and instead feed all your clicks and taps back to its (much smarter) backend, just like the previous version of the library was doing unilaterally.

> Most(?) of the 5G deployments are planned to be of this type.

I am a software researcher in the field and I do not think this is the case. Most 5G deployments for the foreseeable future will be on 3.5Ghz. I do not think mmWave (30Ghz+) has been accepted for commercial use in any country. In fact, in many roadmaps mmWave is referred to as 5G NR (new radio), which to my understanding was left for later deployments. To give you an idea why: the mmWave receivers and transmitters (at my current facility) are the size of a door. I think the problem is shrinking those doors to fit your smartphone, but then again, I do not work on the physical layer nor have much insight regarding regulations.
I feel it's pretty obviously per exposed tissue. It's not so much that your mass affects your resistance to it, but that the radiation needs a certain density to cook your hands.
And yet the country voted for Brexit, mostly without even knowing what they were voting for.

I agree with the OP that politics in the UK are toxic. There are only 2 parties that matter, and they are essentially the same, even though they would have you believe differently. The parties never work together, and spend all their time shamelessly sniping at one another and blocking bills based on political points scoring. It doesn't feel like either party wants what is best for the populace.

Then you have the tabloid media, which constantly fans the flames of hatred and outrage, poisoning the minds of a large part of the populace, essentially able to make them believe almost anything that suits the narrative of the owner's political affiliation.

I'm increasingly frustrated by transit-related articles like this that completely overplay the data they have.

If you look at the US metro areas with the highest productivity (defined in this article as GDP/capita) [1], they are definitely not the ones with the best or even extant transit.

Look, you’re moving goalposts. I criticize the usage of the BED in trying to make that point. I don’t intend to discuss whether the dosage is dangerous or not, or whether the point that levels still are substantially increased was well made or even appropriate.
Just saying "AI" gives little clue to what your challenge is.

It's like asking: "Ask HN: What is the biggest challenge with developing computer programs?" You get only generic answers without much use.
My comment was more in regards to infrastructure in general, not necessarily nuclear in particular. However, even there you're not completely right.

… as long as you don’t mind losing money on a house, living somewhere the landlord invests nothing in, dealing with accelerated infrastructure collapse and paying higher taxes for reduced public services as all of the mitigation costs tank budgets everywhere. A city with a declining tax base is not business as usual.
The vast majority making that argument only do so over issues where they think it is in their own interest. Where spending or legislation is in their interest, it's just common sense.
Well, that's up to voters to decide. Maybe Brusellians don't mind some trash on the streets as much as new tech's potential hazards. It's not too long ago since establishing a link between cancer and EM Radiation[0].

You say that it's fashionable moral panic but some people may say that an increase in cancer is not worth fashionable network tech investment.

Kind of frustrating that GM killed the Cadillac version (ELR), citing poor sales and lack of a market for luxury hybrid/electric. I think the current number if luxury electric cars coming into the market disagrees. I'd be all over a volt if it had the slightest lean towards luxury or sport. The bolt is godforsaken ugly despite it's great numbers.

At $160/kWh for lithium batteries, it seems you could put a simple Atkinson cycle gas generator in the car for less than the extra 40kwh of batteries and yield better range and flexibility.

They also killed the CT6 plug-in hybrid after 1 year.

Seems they have too much brand debt to even bother putting out decent cars since nobody will bother trusting it.
I find it interesting that deadlines for multi-month and multi-year projects are often set in meetings that overrun their allotted time.
Watch out your eyes health, try to look far away as much as possible if you don’t want to lose the ability to focus far away. I’m speaking from direct experience as per my other comment.

You have to be kidding me. Even if you somehow missed the recent hype driven by people like Michael Shellenberger, you can't assume that a billion dollar industry in decline has no lobby and is "grassroots".

I recently switched to a landscape 28" 3K monitor as my main monitor, with a portrait 24" monitor as secondary - I've found this arrangement suits me really well. I typically have a console window open in the lower half of the portrait monitor, then something else in the top half depending on what I'm doing (maybe unit tests window, or a DB admin tool, whatever)

The government can blockade roads and impound/boot your car. They also maintain roads. Many low-income people rely on public transit as their only transit option already. If your fear is that the government is going to turn against its own citizens and use public services as a weapon, public transit should be the least of your worries. You could easily say the same thing about municipal water or electricity.

On what basis are you determining that armed guards are a big cost? It's certainly a readily identifiable cost that's larger on a per-power plant basis for nuclear than other forms of power, but is it really large enough to matter to the overall economic viability of nuclear power?
