That's interesting, I wouldn't have considered that but it make sense. If I'm at a football game or concert I'm much less likely to be streaming content and much more likely to be sharing content than a user at home.

On an unrelated note - I've been pretty disappointed with the WiFi at The Shoe. The first game I tried to use it I couldn't event join the network, the second time I could join but it wasn't usable. It was early in the season though so they could have still be working out the bugs - I can't even imagine how much goes into supporting a system like that. Trying to get 100k devices on a WiFi network is impressive.

I switched from two monitors to a single, curved, ultra-wide 38" doing 3840x1600 pixels (LG 38UC99-W) about two years ago. I would never go back. I took maybe two days to get used to it. At first it was funny: going back to a flat screen and I would see the flat screen curved (!) but this weird effect disappeared after a few days and now I can use either curved of flat screen and everything always look normal: it's amazing how fast we adapt.

That's 3x 1280 wide columns (I don't always use three columns of the exact same width that said). That's a lot of screen real estate already.

Common setups I use are three columns (say IDE / Emacs in the middle, browser at the left / terminal bottom left / PDF open on the right / another terminal at the bottom left) or two columns. I often also have one virtual desktop with 9 terminals opened.

IMO when you begin to go really ultrawide the pixels "in the corners" are kind far away compared to the others. A slightly curved monitor helps a lot with that.

Now I don't game and don't watch movie on my monitor so there may be better 3840x1600 monitors than the one I picked two years ago.

I try to arrange things logically and always in the same order, so I always now on with "virtual workspace" I'll find what opened. I use a tiling window manager and keyboard shortcuts to resize windows.

Only app I run in full screen is photo-editing software. I take it audio and video editing software would do too.
The media doesn't shy even from starting wars over this stuff (the gas attacks that weren't in Syria, WMD in Iraq, etc.). Expect them to make many layers of conclusions like this to support some goal in, I dunno, replacing MbS with someone they like better after a while.
I have a Samsung 49" 32:9 ultrawide with a resolution of 5120x1440. The primary reason I went with this monitor is that I use two computers: one provided by my employer and another provided by the government agency I'm contracting with. The model I have supports picture-by-picture, which makes jumping between the two computers really easy.

Apart from that, I do really enjoy all the screen real estate. It's nice to be able to have a full-sized browser window and two instances of VS Code all running within a visible portion of the screen. That being said, I'd easily give it up for a reasonably priced 27in 5K display that works over DisplayPort. The extra screen space is nice, but I'd much rather a display that had crisp, high-DPI text.
Is there a GUI for viewing and editing recutils files? Or at least a generic GUI that's easy enough to add new backends?
Night trains generally don't do high speed due to comfort issues. Once the fixed link across Fehmarn is completed I would guestimate the travel time between Amsterdam and Stockholm to be about 12 hours or so, perfect for dinner on the train and then a good night's sleep. Also, if the scheduling of the train is properly constructed, I would assume quite a few people from Finland, Sweden and Denmark working in Brussels would take that train regularly.

> The nuclear fleets peak was decades ago when environmental and safety regulation was more permissive than it was today, and the long term problems and threats were not as well known.

That doesn't stand to evidence. The Browns Ferry fire in 1975 was the real tipping point for regulations. After 1979, the regulations and QA requirements were very serious. The improved quality cost the plants more up front but they benefited dramatically from the extra quality by increasing capacity factors from 60% all the way to 90%, becoming cash cows in the early 2000s before fracked gas pulled the rug out on electricity prices.

By your same argument, I can just as easily dismiss your prophecy that inherently intermittent energy sources will scale to world scale with no serious environmental, regulatory, or economic challenges.

I might also point you to Energy Return On Investment studies with high penetrations of energy storage. Have you looked into that? I recommend it. You might also want to look into economic analysis from NREL on intermittent energy sources at high degrees of penetration.

We need at least 10x more wind and solar. I also think it's appropriate to engage the only 24/7 low-footprint low-carbon tool we know of: nuclear fission. No point in tying our hands because some people feel that they don't like nuclear. Nuclear data is in. It's super low carbon. It's very expandable. And it's very low-impact.

EROI is the biggest argument against what you're saying. [1]

I've never heard of Recutils before, but I've been using grep, sed, awk, cut, etc. to work with data for years. sqlite is just too much of a hassle for version control and sharing. If I use sqlite, I have to export to text, commit and push, pull on the new machine, then import into sqlite. I've never run into performance issues even with thousands of records.
Thankfully that's not the case:

> The SQLite file format is cross-platform. A database file written on one machine can be copied to and used on a different machine with a different architecture. Big-endian or little-endian, 32-bit or 64-bit does not matter. All machines use the same file format. Furthermore, the developers have pledged to keep the file format stable and backwards compatible, so newer versions of SQLite can read and write older database files.

All of the HSR systems in Europe have standardized on 1435mm. (The highest-speed line in Finland is the 220km/h link between Helsinki and Laht, which is on the slowest end of high speed rail).

The integration of the Baltic states into the European HSR system, Rail Baltica, including the Helsinki/Tallinn tunnel, are planned to be 1435mm.
Engine failure can be more than just quitting. It can catch fire and burn the wing, it can throw turbine blades around, it can shake itself violently. These can cause other damage to the airplane. It can even tear itself off, surge forward, fall back and hit the wing. These things have all happened. I remember a DC-10 that crashed losing everyone in it when one
engine came off and took out the flight controls with it. Then there's the Sioux City crash where the compressor disintegrated and took out all three hydraulic systems.

That's what I meant by "collateral damage".

Doubling the number of engines doubles that risk.

On the other hand, a failure that would take out both engines on a twin jet is likely to take out 4 engines. Failures such as running out of fuel, ingesting a flock of geese, and ingesting hail.
How so? I’ve never seen a gigE port that didn’t also support 10/100.
Needs an option for total USB ports (including USB3 + USB2). Say someone has 3 hard drives, a keyboard and a mouse. Probably they would want at least 3 USB3 ports for the hard drives and at least 5 total, but would be just as happy with 5 USB3 as 3 USB3 and 2 USB2.
Yeah, unfortunately color perception is one of those things that is a bit too complex for a self-discovery method. While the "symmetry" explanation is satisfying it really isn't correct at all. Color perception and color matching within art (where it was useful) and more recently as a science is something that is complicated and took many years of the best scientific minds to figure out. Sometimes you need authorities on knowledge, and stand on the shoulders of giants as it were.

The teachers aren't completely "wrong", they were just conveying a simplification of history of pigments (also touched on in that article). It is after all true you can mix those colors and get a wide-range of colors (including a blacker black then you would with CMY). But any pedagogy that says there is such a thing as "primary" colors that make all colors is necessarily going to be wrong, even if its CMY.

Yes, I don't care if they're just plain USB, no Thunderbolt or fast charging.

Every "hub" I've seen has maaaybe twl USB-C ports and two or three USB-A ports—which makes me think that USB-A will never die and we'll be stuck with both of them forever.

Thanks, but being USB 2.0 only isn't great. That's why I suspect a Thunderbolt hub is the only option.
Maybe all your friends are in agriculture. Obviously I don't know. But most of the productive and dynamic sectors of the US economy (including tech and finance) could not exist without the network effects provided by our big, and big spending, cities. The people that make a living directly or indirectly in those sectors are benefiting from the investments made by New York and California. If they choose to live in rural Montana or the Cayman Islands while benefiting from the network effects provided by NYC and the Bay Area, that's freeloading. If all the world were the rural Montana or the Cayman Islands it would be a very poor world indeed.

Yes but there is all of the collateral damage of other hosted sites who did nothing.
I cannot understand why they aren't more night trains. For me, it's the perfect way to travel. You have your own room which you can lock and do whatever you want, you have a bed, some storage room, a table, a sink, and if you spend a little more money, you even have a shower. I enjoyed using night trains when I was single, I enjoyed them as a couple, and I enjoy them very much now as a father, as it is basically the most comfortable way to travel with small children. For inner-European travel, it is often cheaper than flying, but much more comfortable. Who cares if takes 12 hours to Kopenhagen if you are sleeping 8 of them, and relaxing on a bed with your laptop, eating breakfast or looking out of the window drinking wine for the remaining 4. You arrive fresh, relaxed, with brushed teeth and shaven and you do not have to worry about getting into town from the airport, because the train station will usually be near the town center.

The problem seems to be that their once glamorous image has been lost. At least in Europe, they have gained a somewhat dubious reputation over the last decades.

Deutsche Bahn stopped their night train services 2 years ago, they sold if off completely to the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), which now run it with a profit. Their idea? Clean up the trains, fix the reputation and attract families. As a passenger, I am happy about that, they are also planning to extend the network. As
a German, I am a bit sad that the Austrians are now running our night trains, but providing train services does not exactly seem to be the main area of expertise of Deutsche Bahn.

PS: in case anyone is wondering, this is what a standard 2 bed night train room looks like in Europe (only one bed is flipped out): https://fidelgastro83.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_1272.j...
>>100W is, of course, possible.

I don't think it is. The dock itself uses quite a lot of power, that's why the highest you can find is about 85-90W. USB-C cables support max of 100W so I don't think it's physically possible to accept 100W and output 100W at the same time.
If you were to choose a "lingua franca" for software developers, what should it be?

I have a Dell U3818DW and you'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers. I can be working on a document with Word in the middle, a relevant Visio drawing to the left, and an Excel spreadsheet I need some analysis numbers from on the right. It is joy incarnate.

I have VFIO setup so I can run Linux as my main OS and Windows in a VM with GPU passthrough for basically bare-metal speed. The Dell can either switch to that input (of course) or I can do Picture in Picture with a selection of two different sizes. That lets me putter in Linux on my main display while keeping an eye on Windows upates in the PIP (or whatever). The Dell properly scales the screen, unlike the horrible scaling on the Acer that someone else mentioned in this thread.

The glare mentioned by somebody else is not an issue as the Dell has an anti-glare display. Not to mention factory color calibration. Not to mention a three year warranty that even covers you for a single dead pixel. It has USB-Cx1, DisplayPortx1, and HDMIx2. There's a bunch of other nice features too that I didn't mention. If you are a gamer (I'm not), this probably isn't for you as it doesn't have FreeSync / GSync.

Spend the money. It is worth it. Keep an eye out for sales. I'd buy it again in a second.
I'm really happy! The 8GB model is super snappy with Arch+Sway. Battery life with full brightness is ~4-5 hours. If I'm overloading it maaaaybe 3.5 hours, but that rarely happens. It's so small that I'll throw a battery pack in my bag with it and charge it while using it if needed too.

Ask HN: New “Who's Hiring In Tech” podcast: want your company profiled?
Hey folks of HN,

I've started a new "Who's Hiring In Tech" podcast that aims to inform and inspire job applicants about companies who are hiring.

Each episode is a lighting 5-10 minute interview with the company founder/CTO/human resources.

The idea is that job seekers will be able to listen to the interview, hear about your company, your team, what you do and how you do it.

It's a chance to pitch your company to job seekers.

It's a new podcast - if you are hiring would you like to be interviewed? There's no cost.

All the "ultrawide" monitors I've seen are just cropped 4k or 5k screens. Having used full-size versions (3840x2160@32" and 7680x4320@32") I'd never voluntarily give up the vertical space.

If you can find yourself a good deal on a 16:9 27-32" 4k screen, you'll appreciate the extra usable space.
I've used it - in production, released at a number of sites. It works as well as any other (have been an Oracle consultant for many years).

For smaller sites with hundreds of users it does everything you could ask. It's very easy to manage - a single DB file. It has a great admin tool available - IB Expert, as good as TOAD in most ways.

Probably hits some limits if you're looking at very high transaction loads (>1000TPS), or very large (multi TB) but really for every day use you can't do better.

I wonder if you've considered building a complete VM image instead of a tarball.

This is really neat. But before you integrate it into anything else you build, consider that it appears to be a very old blob of C code. It took afl-fuzz something like 2 minutes to start finding wild free crashes†. This seems like a worthwhile thing to reimplement in a higher-level language.
