Reminds me of the MacBook Air that I have (2018 model).

When I connect my USB 3 hub to it, I lose my WiFi :(

I Googled it when it happened a while back, and apparently other people have this problem with the MacBook Air too.

Some choose to shield the USB 3 cable with tinfoil. Personally I opted to connect a USB 3 Ethernet interface to the hub and use wired Ethernet when I use the hub.

I'm not experienced in this, but isn't fractional scaling inherently blurry?

This is an issue with poorly made USB 3 cables, connectors, and devices. Intel has a white paper about it: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/io/uni...

> the noise from USB 3.0 data spectrum can be high (in the 2.4–2.5 GHz range). This noise can radiate from the USB 3.0 connector on a PC platform, the USB 3.0 connector on the peripheral device or the USB 3.0 cable. If the antenna of a wireless device operating in this band is placed close to any of the above USB 3.0 radiation channels, it can pick up the broadband noise. The broadband noise emitted from a USB 3.0 device can affect the SNR and limit the sensitivity of any wireless receiver whose antenna is physically located close to the USB 3.0 device. This may result in a drop in throughput on the wireless link.

The money quote:

> With the HDD connected, the noise floor in the 2.4 GHz band is raised by nearly 20 dB. This could impact wireless device sensitivity significantly.

Besides having properly shielded devices and cables (which manufacturers often don't bother doing), they also recommend that the plug in the laptop be fully shielded or enclosed in a metal chassis (which is fulfilled by having an entirely metal case).

I don't know of a cheap RF analyzer but I'd like to get one at some point. I'm curious how many common devices actually adhere to the FCC regulations and/or standards like USB 3, compared to how many are just cheaply made.
So you have to wait until 2/3 of the way through the video to see the actual software.
Without RMS most of the software you are currently using wouldn't work. He has orthodox manners and is an extremist for freedom but "terrible harm" is a lie.
Use !s instead, it will take you to startpage which are essentially the same results as on Google, without having to go to Google.
Here's a neat fact: European cities have a tendency to have distance to the sea, because attacks coming from the sea were common in our history. That's less the case for third world countries, and especially America.
So raising sea levels will hurt Europe the least of all the continents.
before coc was snuck into these repos, was it just a shitshow of nasty people acting a fool in open source communities? I don't remember it that way.
I think that it's just because of the mailing list formatting.

It would look very reasonable on Twitter or Reddit. (of course he doesn't use that)
I have a similar issue on Github and Gitlab.com - my handle there (same as here) overlaps with a certain annotation from Java's Hibernate, so I get a lot of @mentions from random repos.

(And all that because Github and Gitlab are both case-insensitive when matching @mentions.)
They're static.
And in case you're wondering: The way it's done is you render an all-lights-off and an all-lights-on version. You use one version as the background and slice the other version up into separate rooms. Then show or hide those room images depending on the state of the lights in the room.
At worst they can be used to restrict and exclude minority groups and to reinforce existing hierarchies (which are often unjustified).
when the late 2016 macbook pro came out with only usb-c i had to buy a usb dongle from amazon (the one included had not enough ports). if i booted the macbook in windows, with the dongle connected the wifi would stop working (the 2.4ghz one) and the 5ghz would work.
OpenBSD binaries in general don't have a long shelf life. They will break ABI when they want to move forward.
This is so not accurate. There is a reason trades people drive trucks and it's not because they look manlier than SUVs. In fact the problem with the Tesla truck is that it looks like it was designed by someone who thinks people buy trucks because of macho aesthetics.
nice, looks better than https://www.maskmail.net/
He makes what I consider a valid point that a license should be compulsory or if missing more clearly highlighted.

He also makes a point that you cannot select "GPLv3 or latter" which is the licence GNU recommends.
I think it's because few of us truly care that a "go master" exists and him stopping play isn't meaningfully important to rest of us.
I'm impressed - I would have found this useful many times and I really like the appearance and simplicity. This looks like high quality work.
I find that just being a normal, friendly person is enough to satisfy most, if not all CoCs.
I've never had to read one, and I've never been in a situation where I was in violation of one.
Huh, so that's why the iPhone 6s's SecureROM memory regions weren't MMU-locked... IOMMU doesn't come in ARM by default! So you have to wire it up yourself (in your own IP blocks), and then hook it up in software everywhere you want it to work.

And all that costs extra developer time -and money.

Heh.

http://ramtin-amin.fr/#nvmedma
I am sure it would work just fine.
This rosy vision depends on everyone being reasonable and using common sense and a presumption of good faith when applying the CoC.

However, many of the people who are pushing for CoC in projects do not themselves meet these requirements.

This guy was my hero growing up because I'm fairly certain that the things the initial community set up is why open source is so common today.

But now he needs a handler. My god, man. Get it together.
> Popular buzzword + Surprising unexpected outcome

Good analysis. In both cases, I see the popular press reports them in personified language, "Xenon Death Flash, or Why the Raspberry Pi 2 is Camera Shy", and "Why the new iPhone is Allergic to Helium". If we replace "Raspberry Pi 2" with "semiconductor p&n junctions", and replace "new iPhone" with "MEMS oscillators", it probably won't be news anymore.

> manufactured outrage/schadenfreude

An interesting case as well. I see both incidents as undesirable side-effects that better to be prevented, but I don't think they are major design flaws.

Curate the hell out of who you follow. Keep politics an arms length away if it impacts you. Use lists to organise who you follow based on a common theme. Makes twitter a gold mine of information if you know how to really mine it. Don’t let the algorithm dictate what you read.

Perhaps we all should :).

> PHP was around in the mid 90s ...

True, and according to the PHP site[0]:

PHP as it's known today is actually the successor to a product named PHP/FI. Created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf, the very first incarnation of PHP was a simple set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) binaries written in the C programming language.

> ... Java's initial public target was web pages.

Not true, according to here[1]:

In 1991, a small group of Sun engineers called the "Green Team" believed that the next wave in computing was the union of digital consumer devices and computers. Led by James Gosling, the team worked around the clock and created the programming language that would revolutionize our world – Java.
The Green Team demonstrated their new language with an interactive, handheld home-entertainment controller that was originally targeted at the digital cable television industry.

> CGI lived a long happy life in shared hosting, small project and development environments but in commercial use, it didn't last very long - it was just too slow.

Not quite true either. Unless one considers the following projects no longer in use:

- https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html

- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration
/system.webserver/cgi

- https://docs.python.org/3.4/howto/webservers.html

- http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/BashShellCgi.html

And, of course, FastCGI[2] is a welcomed optimization and to be preferred, but fundamentally is just that. An implementation optimization of CGI.

I interpreted breathoften’s comment differently. As someone who’s played chess at a very high level, I feel like I understand people who play these games for the art behind it. It’s difficult to describe, but chess for me is beautiful because to win you must be patient, careful, understand what is and isn’t important, etc. playing chess is like learning virtues. An algorithm playing chess doesn’t care about any of that. I wonder if it’s similar to the difference between meditation and acid. One gives you time to understand and the other just gets you there without explanation.

Creating Multi-Container Docker Applications Using Docker Compose
I can understand not making a tool to memorialize users in first 3 years of creation but once twitter became a household name they really SHOULD have already updated their roadmap.

In the era of cloud computing, how expensive would it be to make an account readonly and store the paltry data it created in a cached location somewhere?

All of their tech decisions feel really reactive nowadays
But you can still use any license you want. The ones he's talking about are just sugestions by github, but you can put anything you want in that ./LICENSE file
I think the price is LASIK can be inflated by the costs it’s saving you from: often a couple decades of contacts and solution purchasing.

That’s my main argument against getting the procedure done: my work benefits cover my lenses/contacts, so the $thousands doesn’t yield any out-of-pocket savings.

If it saves me several hundred a year, it would be a good ROI.

But I also stock up when chickpeas are 20 cents off/can.

I do always think about going overseas though.
But what’s the future of Dyalog? With the passing of John Scholes, then the CTO quitting to “work on his first love, compilers” while Dyalog talks of building compilers, then Gitte Christensen saying in a talk that one reason for changing the download terms is that there aren’t enough young people signing up, then after twenty or thirty years of development one person (Marshall) can go into the codebase and get enormous performance improvements..

I don’t at all mean this to be heckling from the peanut gallery, I have great respect for the people, the tools, the company; but from the distant outside there seems an air of slightly directionless faded grandeur, if you will, like looking at an old-timey cinema.

If Dyalog APL is the future of APL, how do you imagine that future?
I'm not sure if this was intended to be a joke, it just seems hilarious to imply that something from three years ago should be considered outdated.
This is uncharitable, IMO. It is not fair or reasonable to accuse a group of people of amateurism without knowing or understanding the constraints they’re working under.

You compare Twitter with Facebook but Facebook has 9X or so employees. Presumably that means that while a feature like memorialisation gets worked on at Facebook, there isn’t enough manpower to work on it at Twitter. They’re too busy working on the core parts, keeping the lights on. But again, there could be even more constraints that I’m not aware of and you’re not aware of.

Please please please let’s not sit on our ergonomic chairs and ask “why don’t you just” without understanding their perspective. Let’s assume good intent and reasonable competence. Of course we look smarter and more competent by accusing someone of being the opposite, but we should resist the urge.

It’s used for towing large and high drag trailers and off-roading. It was definitely a good call to prioritize other things. If you want to do a road trip then use a 3 or an s.

There are like five video clips online of the glass withstanding greater impacts. Tough glass is not science fiction. It is well within the capabilities of anybody to take some bullet proof glass or thick poly carb and stick it in the window. So saying that this glass is all marketing doesn’t make any sense. Literally anyone could do it. Many already do. It isn’t a new thing. People get tougher glass installed after market literally all the time.

Before codes of conduct, it was reasonably common for misogynistic men to get away with poor behaviour towards women in their communities “because they write good code”. I’ve suffered this directly, so have others I’m close to.

After 7 years in tech, i've learnt it's not like dealing with real humans. You're dealing with a business engine - never assume good intent or competence when trying to reason out why a product arrived at it's current level of success or failure
Want to add to this. Tiktok blatantly violates Google's device ID policy, and actually admits it in writing.

> We share your device ID with measurement companies so that we can link your activity on the Platform with your activity on other websites;

My contact at google said a year ago when I asked if they know about Alibaba's device ID abuse for advertising targeting, it's their policy to not to touch Chinese companies' device ID abuse.
Show HN: Beautiful 3D mapping engine using WebGL and Open Data
There's a lot of those. Ikea has one. Here's a list of 25 of them.[1] The first may have been Autodesk Kitchen Designer, a tool for planning semi-custom kitchen cabinets. Newer ones use augmented reality on a cellphone so you can see the item in your room.

The big problem with these is getting a big collection of 3D models of real furniture and keeping them current.

Fair point, I'll try to emphasise the ease of alias creation instead going forward.
GitHub probably did more good for the FOSS community than any other project I can think of. Before GitHub, it was so difficult to share code. Solutions available weren't anywhere close. I don't understand why he wants every little piece of software to be open sourced. GitHub was attractive to investors because it had closed source projects that have to pay in order to use it. I don't see how GitHub was going to succeed if they were purely open source and no-one was paying to use it. Those proprietary projects that he so hates are the ones who were keeping the lights on. They are the ones which were giving Investors hope than GitHub will make lots of money in future and they must invest more.
That may be, but how long do you expect them to allow 3rd party apps?

Once they can get 3rd party usage below a certain threshold of engagement, they'll block the API.
Not at the moment I'm afraid. It would be cool to set up an .onion address, I'll have to look into this.
I have no idea. If I had to guess it would be metabolic problems with neurons that can’t use sugar or an inflammatory thing. But I haven’t got any idea what it might be. Maybe we’ll know someday.
? I'm very confused. "coc" is a "Code of Conduct" document right?

How is that you're opposed to CoC _in general_?
It mainly would not exist. Or if it did it would be very different.

I'm guessing the regular people in the city were very happy that they didn't experience sudden shortage of taxis, coupled with an extreme surge in price. Meanwhile, the spectators from the sport event were incentivized to choose the more efficient means of transport.

Looking at it from the systems level, I'm not at all convinced that when a mass event spikes the demand for taxis, having drivers go to that event chasing profit is a good idea. Imagine half the plasma in your body moving to your digestive tract the second you eat something. I think from the city's perspective, it's better to have taxis minimize variance than maximize profit.

That resulted in a wide variety of different failures, from the kernel oopsing to various userspace components crashing. It would be very unusual to have unexpected DMA trigger such a specific failure.

And in my opinion, having done some IT security work, it seems to be a relatively miserable field, even if the salaries are going up.

Miserable in the sense that customers don't care, you have to be paranoid and brilliant at the same time, it can be weeks without an emotional payoff, yet everything is always urgent but rarely important.

Having watched some conference videos on the topic, the bro-toxicity is still strong in that field, too.
I felt that it was time to try to switch to DDG, so I just went to the duckduckgo website, and it proposes to "add it to chrome".

It leads to a chrome extension page asking me to give complete read access to what pages I visit to the DDG extension.

Naive question : how can I know what DDG will do with that data ? (And yes I realize that this question applies to any search engine or extension)
This is falling prey to the great man theory of history. How can you know that nobody else would have championed FOSS if not for him?

There are lots of FOSS advocates who were turned off to the whole movement because of him; what might they have done with him absent?
Yeah, it's a joke and also Facebook's press releases almost verbatim :)
Destructuring in JavaScript
This is just RMS being consistent. He's never liked non-GNU licenses, and considers anything that allows the use of open source code in closed source projects to be the spawn of the devil. He'll continue saying this until his dying breath.

That said, GNU and the GPL have been very helpful, sometimes instrumental, in fostering and protecting open source code and developers, so I'll put up with his ivory tower vision for the practical benefits it's brought us.

Call him crazy (and he probably is), but he's been a net benefit to society, which is a lot more than most achieve.
It's a joke and also Facebook's press releases almost verbatim :)
> famously fleecing

Fleecing who? Natives would never pay more than a dollar or two for a short ride, and never more than 10-20% more than the “fair” value. It’s even better in places like Mumbai, where everyone uses a standard meter.

Tourists would pay 10x but in my experience they don’t even notice or care they’re getting fleeced because $10 for a short (5-6km) trip is a reasonable price to them.
It's not like he's from the Middle Ages or something; 1964 is within living memory.
Yes. And sometimes I even want a service provider that insists they know better. (Eg I frequent some coffee shops like that.)

The crucial thing is that there are alternative providers where I can get exactly what I say I want, and get it.
Google already knows the pages you visit, worst case if you give them to DDG you are making the playing field even.
How to use Occam's Razor without getting cut
no it is not, think of it this way- a PDF page size and content are not dynamic, it is sized according to real physical page size so what you are trying to do is squeeze a 210 × 297 millimeters page into 122 x 91 millimeters screen, or alternatively move the page around on the screen but this is usually slow to react and cumbersome.

It can work if the PDF contains very large text, or images but for most cases its unusable.
loading pages with some information from endpoints and mapping it to html template, sending and validating forms, making navigations with turbolinks, making authorization via google and getting url parameters by specified pattern. And you don't need JS for such simple things
You made a slight logical leap there - how do you know the extension will even send any of your data to DDG for them to do something with?

Oh, ok.

Storing each tweet as one file might even make sense. But you need to pick a filesystem that supports that use case at scale, if you are twitter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir is a good example of how this can make sense---at least at a small local scale.
If by intended you mean driving away reasonable people that want to make software not get involved in politically motivated drama and moral panics then yes.

The demo oh-so-briefly freaked me out. It uses the same RFC 1918 subnet I use on my VPN. So for about 10 seconds, I thought something local was leaking to javascript that probably shouldn't.

This is really cool, and performance-wise feels like the (even-then-ancient) surplus PC that I bought ca. fall 1995 to install slackware on. Which is to say, shockingly not-bad when you think about the stack it's sitting on.
