I haven't tried FancyZones. I left that job a couple years ago and haven't yet dug into tiling window managers.

> Nothing stops you from installing an SSH server also.

I didn't want to get too much into this in my previous comment because it has more to do with how the place was managed, then Windows itself. But it does speak to Windows out of the box. This was an air-gapped setup and they were fairly open to me making changes, but I was very careful about jumping in suggesting big changes since I had 0 practical experience managing Windows. They mostly started with Windows as it was installed when it was delivered. Windows 10 was fairly new and they were comfortable with 7. Things were managed with PDQ. Most things were done in an "artisanal" fashion (individually done in a simple or straightforward way). I was used to installing a bunch of software on a network drive and running it directly off NFS. I've been told at multiple places that's unfeasible with SMB because of performance. (I'm definitely not speaking to NFS or SMB as a whole here--just with this specific use-case)

This also meant our rack of headless machines, when the power went out, had to be brought up individually since the disk checker was waiting for input before booting. I had on my todo list to change this, but it's difficult to test and roll out and doesn't come up often.

Back to that question; it would have meant finding a third-party ssh and rolling it out just to appease me. I likely would have done it if I stuck around, though. Maybe in tandem with a full update to Win10.

On that topic, though. Currently, I support Windows users who work from home. It's a bit odd you need admin privileges to create a symlink (I admit, that need mostly comes from trying to get feature parity with Linux/macOS), but detecting and running Admin rights is incredibly awkward [1]. We also need these non-technical people do to some port forwarding or to ssh into our Linux servers. PuTTy's configuration interface is horrid to describe to random people. Since you can't import/export configs we've looked at creating a Registry file with the right configuration, but it's not a trivial thing. For a few people we've had them install WSL, but it's a bit overkill to install however many Gigs along with Linux just to get an ssh client (and it's not an option for non Windows 10 users).

True, but it helps that moths can lay thousands of eggs one or more times a year. Evolution can be quick but people reproduce very slowly.
> Isn't the point of a lock just to keep honest people honest?

No. Honest people don't need to be "kept honest".

Locks have the same purpose as other security systems (including electronic ones like crypto, etc.).

They aren't intended to (and can't) keep a determined attacker out. What they do is increase the cost (in terms of time, effort, risk, etc.) of gaining access. The point is -- as far as possible -- to make the cost of gaining access exceed the benefit that would be gained by that access.
Thanks for the shoutout!

I wish we could have an actual conversation about the 8chan thing, but the public debate is far too emotionally charged for me to touch. :(
Amazon is massively invested in North. Pretty sure they are working on expanding the same market instead of competing (and then combining efforts).
Yes, and I will say that these DOH resolver libraries ignore it is probably my number two complaint.
Galaxy Buds do.
Free markets and globalism are good for everyone except lawyers and doctors. The two professions most overrepresented in congress. Funny how that is huh?
Actually, the Supreme Court has laid out some objective tests for nonobviousness, the so-called "Graham factors" [0]: (1) commercial success; (2) long-felt but unsolved needs; (3) failure of others.

It's my opinion that in order to sue for infringement, a patentee should first have to convince a court that their invention is nonobvious, using objective tests such as these. The PTO is poorly placed to guage nonobviousness, for several reasons. First is simply the sheer amount of knowledge required to be able to judge what is obvious and what isn't. Second is the incentive structure at the PTO: examiners are rewarded for closing applications one way or another, not for rejecting arguably obvious patents. Third is the fact that some relevant evidence, namely the commercial success of the invention, simply isn't available yet at application time, and won't be until months or years later.

So the situation we have now is one where the courts tend to defer to the PTO on obviousness, but the PTO isn't set up to do a good job judging it in the first place.

For all these reasons I think it would be better if the burden of proof were on the patentee to prove nonobviousness, rather than on the PTO or defendants to prove obviousness; and if that proof had to be given in a court before an infringement suit could even be filed. This system would be very efficient given that closer scrutiny would have to be applied only to those patents whose litigation was seriously contemplated, a small fraction of all patents issued.

IPR is a step in this direction, certainly, but I'm not sure it goes far enough.

> “I have the freedom to change my mind. Basically, I have the privilege to be persuaded by data.”

So this is considered a “privilege” among researchers and scientists in this day and age... It used to be what separated science from pseudoscience.
if everyone had that specific knowledge, there would be no specialists. no, different countries develop different specialties. famously, Kobe Bryant went to Germany (a country with national healthcare) to get a knee procedure from a specialist.
So you are doing that?

> Can you really draw a non-arbitrary line between the two?

No, I can't. That doesn't mean there is no distinction between the two. I cannot draw an arbitrary line where "low altitude" becomes "high altitude", but there are many differences between them.

> What is the difference between "processed" and "cooked" food?

Cooked is food you would make yourself. Processed is what a company would make to sell to maximise money.

Cooked is heating to make digestible and tasty. Processed is trying to find a hyperstimulus to make more-ish.

Cooked is food taken as a whole. Processed is treating food as resource to be refined into separate components, then ignore all the non-profitable components and concentrate the obviously useful ones.

Cooked is food you bought fresh yesterday and eat leftovers of tomorrow. Processed is food that entered the supply chain two weeks ago and is best before two weeks away.

Cooked is food that you trimmed the manky parts off while peeling. Processed is 5 tons of tomatoes dumped onto the ground by a truck.

Cooked is food with color. Processed is yellow and white crunchy flour.

Cooked is stuff a human can make. Processed is filtered by what fits in a factory process.

Cooked uses whatever ingredients are available now. Processed uses only ingredients are available in bulk year round.

Cooked is food of different varieties and textures. Processed is the same experience every time.

Again, I'm not saying this is automatically bad, I'm saying there is clearly some distinction between "chicken breast bought from a butcher and grilled" and "mechanically recovered processed chicken style textured sandwich filling packaged in a protective atmosphere in plastic with a weird smell to it use within 24 hours of opening", even if I can't pinpoint a non-arbitrary line.
The downside is that independent entities are not anymore able to design hardware projects, there are only a few companies that can design and make such integrated circuits.
Cpu's are not only made for computers but for all sorts of appliances.
Time will tell if these big companies will sell chiplets and the tech to assemble them onto silicon to 3rd paties.
PCB tech is fairly democratic in that sense.
I'm preaching what I practice for what it's worth.
Yep. In fact, in order to make it more meat-like, they added a chemical called "heme" (it's what makes meat seem "bloody"). There's evidence that heme is a carcinogen. And of course the burgers include large amounts of saturated fat in the form of coconut oil.

All that said -- it's probably no worse than a meat burger, but it doesn't hurt animals, and it doesn't contribute to global warming, so if the choice is between that and beef, go nuts!
A system for human locomotion involving the repeated repositioning of one foot in front of the other. Where's my money?
Yeah, apart from how it's killing every, it's awesome.

Police cars are idle a lot of the time, great use for EV. No need to keep the engine running to power their computers/radios.

They don't suffer from battery degradation. And why would they rely on Tesla charging stations? You can charge them from pretty much anything.
> If they describe a bulb full of dichloromethane with a tube leading up to a beak, then it's not patentable.

That seems pretty specific ... what would be an analogous software scenario?
I think that was predicted on HN at the time...
I use a Japanese teapot, and most have a metal mesh inside. You can just give it a rinse with water after using it and you’re pretty much done. If you’re using decent quality tea leaves, they’ll expand to a pretty large size within the pot and there’s really nothing to get caught in the filter. Just flip it over and dump it.

Definitely a worthwhile purchase if you’re a big drinker.

Your story highlights why customer service is not as easy as we think because of the requirement for sustained performance being quite high.

By your own admission, you went to this steak house for 10 years and had liked it so much you encouraged others. I'd imagine you would've visited multiple times per year? So, let's say 20~30 visits total? All that time you were happy and raved about it, but one bad visit and not only did it sour your opinion to the point you won't return, but you also mentioned that you will disparage them whenever you can. At around 30 visits, 97% of your experience there was positive to the point of rave reviews.

I'm not having a go at you, I'm just using your story to highlight the difficulty in customer service and how fickle we all are as customers (myself included). I suppose that really just speaks more to our recency bias as humans as well.
I have no expertise here, but from what I understand what is new is Hall was the first to do an experiment with the needed rigor.
Everyone at FBI is there voluntarily.
22 million people do indeed visit Jurassic coast but the wind farm would have been invisible from there. Note the weasel wording in the wikipedia article.

It was far enough that it would have been faintly visible from Bournemouth beach. I strongly doubt that a few dots on the horizon would have bothered any tourists.

This project wasn't killed because of the view. There were other financial (probably carbon based) interests involved.
Ask HN: How has been your experience moving everything to React
I work in Rails shop where we have a monolith with most of the frontend written in either;

1. Server rendered haml pages.
2. Client side React.

Currently, there is a debate going on to move all stuff to react.

Curious about people's experiences and thoughts about it.
A valid point.
>Medical schools/the AMA are artificially limiting the number of students and residents for their own ends (keeping wages and scarcity high) so they need to charge a lot... why? - I honestly don't know.

Imagine if you put the teamsters in charge of infrastructure spending, every road in the country would be under construction perpetually. It would be illegal to shovel your own driveway without paying someone in the union to sit in front of your house and supervise.

And the more interesting use case is that it’s a billion dollar 0% loan

Maybe this would have been exciting a decade or two ago before interest rates dropped so far. Now Startbucks can issue all the debt it wants for...checks notes...about 2.3%.
I actually do. I was self conscious at first but grew to be comfortable with it.

Very likely going to buy these - I currently use Siri for hands free while I’m outside but these seem much more well integrated with the apps I use.
Unfortunately from a ex-LEO perspective, it has been very popular with children and heavily hunted by sex offenders, at least in the communities I served in. Doing digital forensics, almost every police officer in a child protection case would be asking "can we get the kik history off that phone?"
Not be cause they were guessing but based on experience or admissions by the victim.

People found it hard to believe when these sort of network-related offences occurred in churches too. Some religious groups are/were more prone to it than others, often based on opportunity or expectations.

It really looks like it to me, you need to drill the front of the door.
This sounds like an ignorant view of getting proper healthcare.

There are more things to check because older people have more medical problems, therefore more tests, more treatments, etc.

We would have to see what would happen if you gave a 25 year old medicare in this country, I doubt it would be the same experience that an elderly person would have.
Though experiment: what if the "dissenting opinion" is advocating for human trafficking, with a specialization for children to be sold as sex slaves? Or something equally awful.

Does the business have the right to refuse to service a customer that society should rightly condemn?
No, I still wouldn't.

It's unethical (and in many cases illegal) to record and analyze other people's conversations without consent. The intended usage is to only record your own speech but it inevitably leads to compromising others as well.

If I had control over the recordings, I could use it for "good" (useful to me) causes. But I can't make any guarantees as to what other people will do with conversations recorded in public.

1984-esque start-up idea: pay people pennies to forward your company the recordings of their surroundings. Make profiles and sell "anonimized" datasets of the interactions.
At first glance, the design looks super similar to the Zolo Liberty earbuds, which I love. https://zoloaudio.com/pages/liberty_series
And yet everyone cites Amazon as the gold standard. Have you tried to use their disconnected, inconsistent, terrible user interfaces? It's like you're talking to a completely different company switching between departments of the same store.
Former VIP host here. The club line isn't really for advertising. Paying people to stand in lines at clubs hasn't been an effective strategy since the 80's maybe.

Now the line is a (punishment + holding cell) for dudes who have to buy their way out of the line by opting for bottle service.

Ideally for the club it moves just fast enough that the patrons in line don't give up and go somewhere else.

Of course anyone can criticize anything they want to. But generally they'll just sound stupid to anyone who actually knows the space. I've never heard a non-parent make a remotely sensible criticism about parenting. I've never heard a non-programmer make a sensible statement about programming, etc. Parents aren't an "elite class of individuals" - we simply have experience non-parents don't. Non-parents talking about parenting are as a rule hilarious examples of the Dunning–Kruger effect. (I'm not a psychologist, so psychologists would probably consider that last statement a hilarious example of the Dunning-Kruger effect :))
With others around or alone?
I feel like talking to an inanimate object is weird when others are around (sometimes even alone).
Yeah seems weird. Is there an embedded version (like uh, I think Quora does this) that you can use? I've only ever seen it in standalone message board/forum contexts.
It's largely because an FPGA is inferior to a microcontroller in many common use cases; they truly are a niche tool. They are nowhere near as flexible as a microcontroller is, and reprogramming them for a different purpose is a huge investment from a development standpoint. When you try to alleviate these issues by pre-canning a microcontroller with configurable peripherals, the resulting FPGA configuration will get trounced by a microcontroller in both performance AND ease-of-use.

Don't get me wrong, I really like FPGAs. I genuinely think they're the coolest tools in embedded engineering, full stop. However, a big part of the allure is how incredibly arcane and niche they are.
Interestingly, "manipulatives" are now part of mainstream match education in the US, for the early grades. But I don't know if it's standardized at all.

Reputation and past records are not ad homs. They're reputation and past records.

That's a valid heuristic for assessment in cases where quality is hard or expensive to measure or value. Information acquisition is not itself free.
Ok so I've used kik for years (I have a pen pall in Germany, we both went through the transition to and from university together.) Their app was delay tolerant and had decent read receipts which was amazing when I lived in the country side with my parents and had a worthless internet connection. That being said...

kik never built a desktop application, if you didn't have your phone you couldn't even know if you had a message waiting. Even if you went through the trouble to run an android emulator it deleted all your messages each time you switched devices.

Kik got pretty caught up in the whole bot thing, and kept cutting the legs out from the third party developers that was stupid.

They were so weird about groups, and the 50 person limit per group made them pretty useless when combined with the reputation the app had.

discourd really kind of ate their lunch (and personally I really don't like discourd but at least I can connect to it with pidgen and join the popular groups.)

The multi-trillion dollar world ultraprocessed food industry is going to go into high gear to try to trick the public into believing that eating ultraprocessed foods is just fine and the fault for the obesity epidemic lies entirely elsewhere. In fact, I would say it is already doing it.
>In my opinion, the best yardstick for a health care system is how long you have to wait to be treated for cancer. By that yardstick, countries like Canada and England stack up quite poorly when compared to the USA

I don't know who told you that about Canadian healthcare, but it's simply not true.

When my mom was diagnosed, she underwent surgery within days, and was getting chemo/radiation as soon as was medically safe.
The post-war British approach, late 60s, early 70s on has been much more piecemeal eschewing big national projects we used to do well. The French retained the ability to use the state for good much longer than us. Or push vanity projects through, come what may, if you prefer... We did joined up thinking much better until the 1950s.

The French were the driving force behind Ariane. Britain would most likely have walked away after the failure of Europa (Blue Streak). We did after all walk away from our space programme right after achieving orbit. Still we became a much smaller participant in ESA than we had been in ELDO. Germany took our place as the other key player with the French.

The point about the Tunnel was the British Tunnel Act specifically ruled out state aid - Thatcher's government expected the private sector to stump up the whole cost. Which it pointedly failed to do. France happily took the SNCF proposal and built a national network from it using the power and purse of the state. Britain took the BR APT prototype, pushed for far too early demo, cancelled it, sold it to Fiat then bought them later as Pendelinos. We chugged along with HST.

Concorde is a brilliant pick, thanks for the perfect example! I'm going to say 95% "The French" (politically. We contributed much more fairly technically): The British really, really wanted to partner with the US who weren't interested feeling they would be giving "their" lead to the UK. We were most surprised to find the French were the most serious about SST too, and Thorneycroft (destroyer of Supersonic Harrier) found himself with only France as realistic option. The treaty was written with very heavy cancellation penalties. Roy Jenkins tried to cancel it with TSR2 in 64. He went to France to tell them. The French responded by breaking diplomatic contact[1]. :)

Actually, scrub that, it wouldn't have progressed nearly as far as British project. Treasury were against, cabinet was against, but, we were trying our first attempt to get in the EU and de Gaulle wasn't keen (he felt we were too close to the Americans to be good Europeans. 2019 hindsight thinks he may have had a damn good point). Concorde was an EU/EEC bargaining chip. Yet still we tried to cancel it.

> Subjecting more people to the strict study regimen at this preliminary stage, Hall says, “would be unethical.”)

And, regarding "more people", whatever is unethical for 500 people is unethical for 5.
Something about half-wit apes using incredibly intelligent tech weirds me out.

On public transit, I see a lot of gormless slack-jaws hulking over tech that is mind-bogglingly complex. It feels like mixing eras. I can only imagine what it'll be like when the unmoving low-end of society gets access to tech like that, just to continue pursuing their trivial aspirations.
