> Nearly all projectors, even new and expensive ones I've used, do not have HDMI

I can’t remember the time I saw a projector that didn’t have an HDMI port. Are these in a niche you frequent? The consumer and semi-professional ones I run into at libraries, Meetup spaces, and offices all have HDMI and sometimes DisplayPort. They sometimes have VGA or one of the ones that look like VGA but have more pins.
There are many uses for podcasting for the classroom. They can be used to convey instructional information from the teacher or trainer, motivational stories, and auditory case studies. Podcasts can also be used by the learners as artifacts and evidence of learning; for example, a student might prepare a brief podcast as a summary of a concept in lieu of writing an essay. Podcasts can also be used as a means of self-reflection on the learning processes or products.[11] Podcasts can help keep students on the same page, including those that are absent. Absent students can use podcasts to see class lectures, daily activities, homework assignments, handouts, and more.[citation needed] A review of literature that reports the use of audio podcasts in K-12 and higher education found that individuals (1) use existing podcasts and/or (2) create their own podcasts. Students can create their own podcast to share their learning experiences with each other and also with other students from other schools.

Everyone is intolerant to some people. Apparently you are intolerant to intolerant people.

I’m not sure if it’s something to get up in arms about, but it’s not really something to be bothered by either in my opinion.

My opinion is that pronoun doesn’t matter regardless of whether it’s he/she or they. They just seems marginally less effective at conveying information.
they have known insects felt pain for a while, this was whether they felt pain after the injury 'healed'.

its semi relevant to me because I accidentally stepped on a bug (weevil) yesterday and felt bad about it. I hoped that it might not feel pain after the step, but that that hope was in vain.
It's not like words cannot be overloaded. Lots of languages use the plural form to show respect or politeness, or regard somebody with esteem (like the royal "we") for instance.
FUSE is particularly useful for writing virtual file systems. Unlike traditional file systems that essentially work with data on mass storage, virtual filesystems don't actually store data themselves. They act as a view or translation of an existing file system or storage device.

In principle, any resource available to a FUSE implementation can be exported as a file system.
I'm also multilingual and can confirm that at least some aspects of the languages mentioned that I know, are accurate.

For a few years I was also a language teacher and this article explains one of the things students have problems understanding.
I'm not sure that they're more efficient. Take for example the large open urinals. In a situation dominated by people capable of using them and where most people are using the toilets to urinate then having Unisex (or Omnisex) toilets is extremely inefficient.

A good example of this is pretty much any football (soccer) stadium. For matches most of the crowd are men and a large number of them are drinking more than usual. Heck, I've been in a stadium with a 50/50 crowd: even when the toilets were split 2/1 for women in favor of men there was always a long queue for the girls and nothing for the boys.
It allows automatic generic specialization in some cases by the compiler, as you don't have to do template-fu or use a nonspecific type or manually write multiple specializations.

Plus it usually makes the code cleaner by focusing on structure not types. As any construct, it can of course be abused.
I'm an alum and I agree and I mentioned MIT because I think it should take a stand to atone for that.
In January 2019, DeepMind introduced AlphaStar, a program playing the real-time strategy game StarCraft II. AlphaStar uses a reinforced learning to learn the basics of the Protoss race based on replays from human players, and later played against itself to enhance its skills. At the time of the presentation, AlphaStar had knowledge equivalent to 200 years of playing time; it won 10 consecutive matches against professional players, and lost just one.

I agree with you. In addition to it being weird to read, having 'he' and 'she' also allows you to be able to mentally separate two individuals in a context where applicable.
I haven't read the paper but I did read the article.

I imagine this is a case of reporter not understanding the research. This is clearly about linguistic relativism. There's a clear difference between how languages like Mandarin and English talk about time but the difference within indoeuropean languages is much smaller. I buy into Mandarin vs English shifting how one thinks about time (this isn't a new concept) but any secondary language changing how one views time (in a significant way) I'm skeptical. English and Spanish (which were used as examples) speak about time almost the same way. And if you're going to talk about Mandarin, there are much better examples than that they use a vertical axis instead of a horizonal (which doesn't mean they use both.)

You may have to activate this, but generally, press the middle mouse button, then you can scroll with the track point while the button is pressed.

Problem on windows is that you have to choose between the middle mouse button click and the scrolling. You need additional software to have both, at least for the lenovo driver.

Bonus point for the track point is that you can also scroll to the side.

In the secondary market, securities are sold by and transferred from one investor or speculator to another. It is therefore important that the secondary market be highly liquid (originally, the only way to create this liquidity was for investors and speculators to meet at a fixed place regularly; this is how stock exchanges originated, see History of the Stock Exchange). As a general rule, the greater the number of investors that participate in a given marketplace, and the greater the centralization of that marketplace, the more liquid the market.

Fundamentally, secondary markets mesh the investor's preference for liquidity (i.e., the investor's desire not to tie up his or her money for a long period of time, in case the investor needs it to deal with unforeseen circumstances) with the capital user's preference to be able to use the capital for an extended period of time.[2]

Accurate share price allocates scarce capital more efficiently when new projects are financed through a new primary market offering, but accuracy may also matter in the secondary market because: 1) price accuracy can reduce the agency costs of management, and make hostile takeover a less risky proposition and thus move capital into the hands of better managers; and 2) accurate share price aids the efficient allocation of debt finance whether debt offerings or institutional borrowing.

I'm from the UK and I honestly didn't even realise the use of they in the article until I read the parent comment. It seems totally natural to me and feels like a perfect way to avoid gender in contexts where it is unknown or intentionally avoided. I find it incredibly annoying when I read text with made up or assumed genders, especially as the parent commenter points out when articles use she for inanimate objects or objects with undefined genders.

You wouldn't...

...instead you'd use "decltype(auto) v = <expr>", which is equivalent. And people certainly use decltype(auto), or else it wouldn't have been added to the language, 3 years after regular auto.

> They removed NAT, which made laymen deployment difficult. I can’t just plug an IPv6 router behind another router (or 3-4 levels of routers) and expect it to just work.

Is this common, plugging consumer routers with NAT several layers deep? I haven’t seen that in the wild. The only time I myself tried it didn’t work for some unknown reason.

My only real gripe with IPv6 is the fact that Duplicate Address Detection seems broken on many Wi-Fi networks (clients for some reason see their own traffic as traffic from another node and trigger DAD, which shuts down IPv6 access). I’ve seen this on routers from multiple vendors and I believe it’s some bug in their broadcast/multicast implementations.
Call me ignorant, but who are still using VGA?
On the author of the single vulnerable library instead of the hundreds of authors of projects making use of it, yes please.

The fact that things like flatpak, snap, nix all explicitly try to address this problem with platforms/base layers/grafting etc. is very telling. They are all a trade off of your security vs. the dev's convenience, which might be necessary to succeed.

Thanks, that's interesting.

"Every one must judge according to their own feelings." That's a nice example on how it can be used. Most of the older examples include "every" or "any" before using they. I think I need to study that part of the language as (at least in some situations) it seems like a nice way to get around using a generic form.
Back in the late '90's there was the All BASIC Code (ABC) repository, which was a large collection of the best Basic code at the time. Some of my code made it there. Found this copy here: https://github.com/qb40/abcarchive

To me and many others it feels as a forced, immature (almost childlike), aloof desire for change. You use words like ‘rebalance’ as if there is an objective, universally shared belief our culture is out of balance. Thank God we have you as our savior.

Things will get out of balance the more it is forced, because with every politically correct motion, there is an equal opposite motion. All that is achieved is further polarization and misunderstanding.

To say the articles’ use of ‘they’ is normal in the UK feel duplicitous. I’ve read my fair share of British literature, newspapers and articles. The text feels completely alien to British writing.
I'm reading Anders E. Zonst's "Understanding the FFT" second edition, and the programs were originally in GW-BASIC.

I have since installed qb64 and PCBASIC, and find the book really amazing; consequently I find the language superior for simple exposition - there's an insane amount of positive things you can say about taking a supposedly complex subject and breaking it down with a language that is that simple - if you truly understand a thing, you can implement it in a language as simple as BASIC in a clear way, taking the mystery out of it.

How hard can it be if it you can implement it on something with a Z80, right?

Brilliant, and odd timing that this is on HN right now.

I think it is aimed at the Japanese corporate market.

I work in tech in Japan, and you would be surprised how often we have to use VGA-only screens when giving a presentation outside of the startup bubble. I would say that about 2/3 of my clients have a VGA port on their bulky laptops. So VGA definitely make sense for this market.

A VAIO like this one would be on the expensive range compared to the Dell or cheaper Lenovo I commonly see though, but maybe the bulk price is be quite cheaper than the retail price?

What do you mean by 'maintained' automatically? Many flatpaks use their own custom compiled dependencies that are outdated. I took a frequently-used dependency used to decode untrusted data (ffmpeg). Many Flatpaks on Flathub use outdated ffmpeg versions. Some examples:

- VLC ships with a slightly older version of ffmpeg (4.1.3) with two known CVEs:

https://github.com/flathub/org.videolan.VLC/blob/f1b27c13b13...

- MakeMKV uses an outdated ffmpeg (4.1.0), which has several known CVEs:

https://github.com/flathub/com.makemkv.MakeMKV/blob/3c44c8bc...

- Openshot uses an outdated ffmpeg (4.0.3) which has several known CVEs:

https://github.com/flathub/org.openshot.OpenShot/blob/ec2077...

This is what you get when every application ships custom dependencies, rather than having a consistent package set.

(I like the idea of Flatpak, but I think it hasn't found its optimum yet in terms of dependency management.)

But MMOs aren't mainstream any more. It's been a decade since multiplayer match-based games took over. That future might have seemed possible in the mid-2000s with WoW taking over people's lives. Today there's really no trend to suggest full time living in a virtual existence. We're already there part time through social media, but it seems like that's about as far as it goes.

I think it's a massive economic barrier. How much does it cost to have an online experience of socialization or eating with equivalent quality to an offline one? People still take vacations, pack up their bags, and fly on planes to meet others and eat food. When will a virtual meeting and a virtual burger every be as good and cheaper?
...where?

No joke. I seriously don't see desktops running rich applications around anywhere, except the mini-computer / workstation use case.

Generally people are running a glorified thin terminal with a browser or putty connection to a dosbox app. People who actually do things on their own computers generally run laptops now. The exceptions are people who do demanding work loads, and they run workstations that can handle it--more like the mini-computer than the traditional office desktop.

There are public computer terminals in libraries and such, but the only reasons these are not laptops are theft prevention and the need for a large screen, keyboard and mouse.
Nope, simply untrue. Cars use lithium ion batteries mainly for their energy density. For grid storage, other batteries and ways of storing energy are feasible and probably a lot cheaper as well. Wikipedia has a nice overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_energy_storage#Grid-orien...

The wild life impact of solar is relatively minor compared to burning coal, intensive farming, and all the other things we do. We'd need to only cover a relatively small amount of land with solar to produce what we need. And ironically some of the most suitable land for this would be deserts that have relatively little wild life to begin with. Of course the impact of wiping out coal, gas, and petrol usage would be enormously positive.

Windmills do indeed kill some birds. Yet, these things seem to have barely any impact on e.g. the seagull populations in places like Denmark that have a ridiculous amount of wind mills.

# Plan for the improvement of English spelling.

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet.

The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.

Valve's Proton Keeps Making Its Way in Compatibility
Well there are two entities: the character and the player. The character is female, but a player doesn't need to identify as female to have a female character.

Since the article is about the player more generally (the article discusses the player in other games), and the player prefers not to be gendered, I think "they" is appropriate here.
More people needs to read and submit articles in order that impact factor to rise. A journal's impact does not increase on its own.
You don't have tests?
Use of 'they' if sex is unknown is normal I'd say. This is not the case here it seems though, so a complaint is valid.

I do not think a formal 'they' is improper, or a new innovation e.g. see comment here (https://www.lexico.com/en/grammar/he-or-she-versus-they) (I might amend this later to add some examples with some google-fu, but it shouldn't be hard to find some 17th-century prose). See also the comments and answers here https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/108457/is-using-...)

That said, the author misuses and misapplies the construct, as the gender seems known to me from a quick pass of the article, and as mentioned by other commenters. Yes, it feels forced and it usually doesn't -- you probably have already encountered similar examples before, but did not notice them.
