IEEE's coverage way back in 2003 and even by then a prototype existed as far back as 91.

I've been waiting for people to circle back around to this type of display for about a 2 decades now. I suspect the biggest barrier/reason is aversion to liability and safety of beaming lasers directly into customer eyes.
Actually, that speculation about tweets sounds pretty realistic to me...

But seriously, I think we can all agree that among the literary arts, poetry is the most likely to be accidentally uninterpretable. Due to its cultural context it is also the area where uninterpretability is the most likely to be accepted. This creates an environment where you run a serious risk of developing a culture of meaninglessness.
I'm very curious what the effect would be over the course of decades of having even very weak lasers hitting your retina directly.
Good as a primer for those that aren't naturally hackers but decided to become computer science majors and have little to no experience with a unix-like operating system.

I learned Linux, the shell, basic scripting, and the terminal environment in high school out of necessity and then began to thoroughly enjoy it. Planning to enter university as a CS student I took the time to learn Vim, though I didn't start using it regularly until much later.

I can't exactly articulate why, but I'm fairly upset these sorts of things comprise an entire course. What happened to RTFM? Where is the general curiosity? Even if you have no prior experience with a majority of these things, these are the kinds of things you figure out over the weekend while doing your regular courseload.
Just to be clear, I'm happy to pay, makes me feel safer. It's just that the jump is way too big for me.

That being said, I really like your service and I hope will succeed! Cheers

Prosperity without growth. Only possible if money has a half life. This slow devaluation of money over time would allow stable prices, growth and more granular control of the economy. This kind of money could be electronic and only minted by the fed as FED-COIN. The blockchain would be essential in tracking and controlling each fedcoin. An interesting solution might be for the fed to give fed coin to people as a UBI(Universal basic income). Of course once the fedcoin is spent(undergoes a transaction) it’s value would freeze. the seller of a product would then have regular money. The current mode of the fed being limited to repo operations is blunt. Direct involvement of the fed with the public would allow more direct management of the economy. In addition fedcoin would traceable (anti crime), taxable, and controllable(it might have no value for example in trade for gambling, cigarettes alcohol or other items that are unhealthy)

Ask HN: How to make a technical eBook beautiful?
I am working on a technical ebook but I have concentrated so far only in the content. Are there any resources to help me to make the book more visually appealing and thus more pleasurable to read. I like minimal style, big font-size, lots of white space. For example, I like the style at csstricks.com and the No-Starch Press books. Do you have any other examples that I can review for inspiration?.All my files are written in Markdown and although the PDF generated is quite "nice" I want to take it to a higher level.
Perhaps Reflex Area is for you. There's also this Reddit thread with some ideas:

The only thing is you don't need a vintage amiga to enjoy trackers, I used trackers with linux audio for years, the pi4 is a much more cost effective way to enjoy trackers than trying to find and refurbish a vintage Amiga, although it has to be fun to play with one but for those without those kind of resources you can even do tracking on an android phone or raspberry pi.

I could easily add more qualifiers, but won't. I see the pattern and support my argument: The original poster is but one example. This company (fama.io) is in the business of performing exactly these types of social media background checks. (Reference: https://craft.co/fama/competitors)

As the masses (and I mean MASSES) of people buy into the social media explosion going on all over the planet, these "low-profile" individuals will A) become rarer, and B) start to look suspicious. Whether the sub-population of computer engineers see it for "what it is" or not; the general population apparently doesn't.

Example: I have a friend who, begrudgingly, created a Facebook account and used it rarely. Several months in, he started getting "friend" requests from (presumably) middle-eastern men, often shown with photos of AK-47s. If this is not a clear demonstration of a IS NULL business rule to figure out who might be anti-social, I don't know what it.

I stand by my prediction as well: Over time, a lack of an online presence (in a world where online presence is virtually required to live modern daily life) will be deemed "anti-social".

The lure (both ease and historical/digital facts) provided by scanning social media history will only grow in popularity.
In order to crack water, you need water, which is in short supply in the desert. Desalination + massive pumps and pipelines from the ocean would soak up any increase you get in price efficiency compared to batteries or even compressed air.

Summary of hashing function security in bits, for convenience:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

Since collision resistance is roughly half the number of bits, it seems unconscionable to me that anything below 256 bit hashes even exist, because 64 bits is crackable but 128 bits effectively never will be. This was well-understood even in the 90s when MD5 and SHA were first published.

Just thinking about this for the first time, I don't buy any argument about storage or performance, since those become less important as time goes on. It feels like Linus made a mistake here, and offloaded the inevitable work of upgrading repositories onto the general public (socialized the cost) which is something that all programmers should work harder to avoid.

Seattle council has voted for an income tax on highly paid residents (2.25% on everything above $250k), but income taxes are nominally unconstitutional in Washington State. It's been working its way through the state courts for years. So far the lower courts have ruled that an income tax may be constitutional (this would be a first, in Washington) ... but only if the rate is equal for all earners (So the Seattle tax still fails).
To be fair, the button was still there and still had the same icon. It's bad design for other reasons, but I'm not sure how you could think it was completely broken just because it moved a couple dozen pixels to the right.

This it outrageous. Browsers are user-agents, not advertising accelerators. They should hide as much personal identifiable information as possible. This is exactly why using a browser from an advertising company is not a good idea. They use it to improve their service... The lie gets old...

I think it is a mischaracterization.

Notably, the graph provided at the second link covers a time period ending in 2008, the depths of the great recession. Things are numerically a bit better than depicted there. The overall story is the same- the bottom and the top of the worldwide income distribution is where things are growing fastest, but the middle is growing slower. It is certainly growing though.

10% real median income growth since the 80's is nothing to sneeze at.
The image is being painted onto the camera sensor instead of the retina.

Regarding "shooting lasers at your eyeball, which sounds unhealthy", this technology has existed since at least the early '00s. Microvision was showing off their Nomad laser HMD (https://www.google.com/search?q=microvision+nomad) around 2002 IIRC. It's reasonably well established as safe.

> Such a test from DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency would have focused on security and not the performance issue that Wolf said was most likely responsible for the failure. Still, Wolf said this was a “concerning event” given the amount of scrutiny around elections security after Russians targeted the 2016 presidential election.

> “We don’t see any malicious cyber activity going on,” Wolf said. “No one hacked into it -- so this is more of a stress or load issue as well as a reporting issue that we’re seeing in Iowa.”

> The Iowa Democratic Party has said there was no evidence of hacking in the much-delayed results, merely human error.

DHS wouldn't be the one to do performance testing. Sure they should have had security scans but the issue at hand is not related.
Everyone was waiting to see what the anti-Sanders dirty trick would be.
Quick clarification: I am not an author of this paper, I just found it while doing literature review and thought it was worth sharing, as its probably similar to what is done in industry to prevent future designs from being vulnerable to Spectre/Meltdown-type attacks.

Dr. Trippel's work over the course of her doctorate has also helped improve security in the RISC-V ISA by contributing to the atomics extensions.

Maybe it is worthwhile to note that there is no money[1] that would not be someones loan from someone. Your moeny at the bank account? It literally only is "money" that you have lent to your bank. Cash? A bearer note from the central bank, i.e. a token that says that you are owed by the central bank.

[1] As per current typical definitions of money. If you consider gold or e.g. cryptocurrencies as money, then the statement does not hold.

Having been around DHS procurement a bit, I can only imagine what their App testing looks like. It probably only can test on certified Windows CE and Zune devices.
Any references in particular you recommend to learn schema design, particularly with an orientation towards performance (e.g. for high-volume sites)?

A couple years ago I got dinged on a take-home project that involved building a db schema, but didn't get any specific feedback on my work, and it's sort of haunted me to this day (especially since SQL is one of my primary languages)
I really like k/q’s right to left parsing. something like:

f(g(h(x)))

Becomes

f g h x

Which I find very natural and better than

x h g f

Just so we're clear here: the results are on paper. This app was meant to simply coalesces the results to have them in faster.

And some security testing and analysis also wouldn't have prevented this problem, unless it was done at huge scale.
I wish. Minimum $$ and limited inventory available for delivery through my local grocers. Anyone who cooks beyond some veggies and out-of-the-box meal components knows quality of ingredients is the utmost. Like, going to multiple butchers for the best cut of meat kind of quality.

It's like anything else, you must invest the time and energy to get the quality. Restaurants simply abstract this away by increasing the cost.

Reasons Not to Execute
If the lasers are low-powered enough it should be just the same as looking at a screen, shouldn't it? Either way the same amount of photons are hitting your retina, with a laser they are just aimed more carefully.
Well, one thing is just a mindset thing: as long as you go in with kind intentions, there's almost no way anything can go wrong. Maybe the person you talk to will be bored or uninterested, but that is a good thing because a) you've chipped away at your social anxiety a little, and b) you can check them off your mental list of potential friends/contacts/whatever.

As for tactics: just ask questions. Everybody likes to talk about themselves. Eventually, you'll get good at finding out what interesting things people have going on in their lives (most people have something).
Even back in the aughts, if you want to be successful in search, there has to be some angle in which your product is better than Google's.

"1986 after IBM had already won"

I like your post... Just a thing: the PC architecture won, but IBM lost all control of it.

They tried to take over in 1987 with the PS/2 line and its MCA bus, but the clone army was strong enough to fight, and IBM progressively got out of the PC market... until the sales of their hardware divisions: printer division (Lexmark, 1991), desktop and laptop division (Lenovo, 2005). I don't remember for the PC-based servers, but certainly gone also.

I've been running a big ass noctua on my 5930K (first intel 6 core) for a solid 6 years now on a 4.2GHz overclock. No problems whatsoever, other than the thing doesn't want to do 4.3 anymore, but it was always a bit unstable when i was running at that speed. I'm sure I'll update soon though.
My TR4 II 360 OC AIO's pump failed recently; it took about 1 hour of intense Deep Learning training to reach 100 degrees at which point the motherboard shut down. I was dumbfounded about what was happening, then after ruling out Titan RTX, power supply etc. problems I noticed a slow climb of CPU temperature. AIO manufacturer didn't even ask for anything and sent a replacement right away and computer is happily number crunching again.
More examples makes sense! I'll add that after adding some more visual styles / more customization options. I haven't thought about forks yet, but sounds like it would be useful. I remember using coggle.it which is quite convenient and supports forks
Well, given their intense commentary on previous election results & interference, that's bloody ironic...
> Btw, Firefox is too slow.

Ahh, the good ol' "Firefox is too slow for me to consider it" statement. Is there any evidence that Firefox is slower then Chrome other than old lingering memories of Firefox being slow ten years ago?

I have used both Firefox and Chrome and I can't subjectively tell that one is significantly faster or slower than the other. To be fair, I only have a handful of extensions and rarely have more than ten tabs open at a time, so my use case may be atypical.

I always found the "idea" of that kind of work enticing.

However, once I owned a house and had to do renovating/updating, I ultimately found it frustrating.

Some jobs are incredibly frustrating if you don't have the exact tool to make it easier.

The likelihood the angles and geometry of your home are square is, IME, near 0. Even measuring and re-measuring multiple times, I end up with a lot of wasted, mis-cut material.

YMMV, but I always found when you add up the time spent and material cost, it's nearly a wash to just pay someone else to do it.
Unpacking AR Business Models: AR as a Service
I think it may be a little more complicated. Apple was relying on Intel's modem. A critical component for 55-60% of their revenue. ( And if you include their services which is basically linked to their iPhone will be quite a bit higher )

And there is Thunderbolt, its certification is still not released from Intel. Before than Apple could not leave Intel just yet.

"But you just can't really know whether they ignored your feedback, or whether they considered it and decided not to act on it for any of a number of reasons."

Considering feedback and not truly taking the time to understand the risk and to discuss the decision with the origin of the feedback is ignoring the feedback. People with the power to make decisions in an organization often follow this pattern. It's the mindset of a fool to think that they know better than the people closest to and most impacted by a decision. Good leadership enables those who are closest to the problem to make the decision or minimally discuss the pros and cons of the decision providing any missing information before making it.

I can't begin to count the number of times that those in leadership roles have made decisions only to walk back on them after they failed citing the exact same reason of feedback they received prior to making the decision. Often the language is spun to obfuscate this but when pressed the reality is made clear.

Worse case, I have witnessed vindictive measures taken by leadership against those who, correctly after the outcome of the decision was realized, criticized the decisions being made.

It's not always about a single naysayer. It's also the bizarre perception that one needs to "have all the answers" when they make it to leadership. We should not ignore the reality that incompetent leadership is real and happens more often than people think.
It does make me wonder why people are worried about paperclip maximiser AIs when paperclip maximiser CEOs are out there and just as dangerous. The world is full of people who'd cut down every tree in the rainforest so long as they kept getting paid for it.
