Intel’s first discrete graphics card in 20 years
Good idea, but it's the first premium product that I've seen where the pitch is 'you may get certain features if you subscribe'. In another words there is no guarantee and a premium subscriber may still end up with same GPU as a free user. You may end up with a high-end V100 (not available to free) might be a better pitch.
Me too. A4 sized grid notebook, and I use it in the landscape position. My notes are a mix of schemas and written text. When I'm happy with my work I take a picture of it using the Evernote app and upload it to its cloud. Curiously enough, the app applies some sort of "filter" to the picture that removes the original grid lines, making the drawings cleaner, which is convenient sometimes.

No, please don't.

Commercial fishing is not good. Do some research to find the many reasons.

Plastic is not something you want to eat, and fish have increasing amounts of plastic in them.

Same goes for Mercury. Sardines (and probably anchovies) don't have much, but other larger fish do.

Were it not for these problems, then I too would advocate good canned sardines for health. They have higher calcium per weight than any other food or drink. They have a good amount of protein, and of course they have the omega oils.

But the current state of things is such that it would be wise to reduce consumption, not increase it.
An important Google developer who created a product most of you use was a BMUG member, as was a current Siri developer, a former head of MacOS ... devrel IIRC, and others. BMUG probably deserves some credit for my own 20 year career as a programmer.
Don't ever interview at an academic library, then. It seems to be the only way we do interviews at mine, and I gather it's not an unusual practice in this field.

That said, I have participated in group interviews when I still worked in the tech industry, and I have found I prefer it to 1:1 interviews. As an interviewer, it feels more conducive to behavioral interviewing, and more people get to weigh in on the hire. As an interviewee, I found it makes the interview more conversational and sets me more at ease. I wish it was more common.
Why not the GNU or BSD coreutils?
I just use Simplenote for everything: shopping lists, vacation plans, research notes, work meeting notes and todos, etc. Anything that requires collaboration can easily be shared, and I can view and edit notes from any device. There's no structure at all, so I can impose whatever structure is appropriate for the context and works for me.
If they're as benevolent of an institution as they pretend, we wouldn't need such a law. They already can publish financial reports without any law compelling them to do so.

But they aren't a benevolent institution.
I like it! I've often wanted instant ephemeral DBs for testing and think SQLite is an excellent choice for it.

It might be nice to have a simple GUI for each DB. Perhaps leverage something like https://github.com/simonw/datasette. Also a few sample DBs. Cool stuff!

To my other comment you say 'contact Microsoft' as if there is a phone line which goes directly to the decision maker for this type of 'purchase'.
Most of these are primarily investment vehicles.

The only one that I'd consider an exception is BAT, and I'm still not convinced that it isn't a complex fraud scheme against web advertisers.
>Imagine working in a 5000 year old skyscraper...

Living in Europe and having ample opportunity to visit them, I'm always fascinated by the old cathedrals that just stand around in our city centers. I almost can't believe how people hundreds of years ago managed to erect these structures. And not only that but the level of detail and craftmanship that went into all of its components is mind-boggling. To me it also signifies a connection to previous generations which you don't often get anywhere else. Of course they are not nearly 5.000 years old, but it just sprang to my mind when I read this line.
People forget that the harder is to do something the higher the satisfaction when you do it right. Life is a journey not a destination, death is the destination of life.

Disagree about scripting.

Compile times are fast if you are willing to tradeoff performance. But you can decide whether you whether or not you want a long compile fast program, a short compile slow program, or an interactive compiler.

The example I can give is StandardML. You have SML/NJ and MLTon as two possible compilation options among other. SML/NJ has an interactive mode. MLTon compiles for longer but results in faster programs. (And it's also Hindley-Milner)

Just going to the "it should be interpretable" route without there being any option for whole-program optimization at compile time results in unnecessary bloats in performance which by all means we can avoid now as development hardware has become faster.
Omega-3 doesn't refer to just one thing. Most plant sources of omega-3 are ALA which your body needs to convert to EPA and DHA. Your body isn't very good at making DHA so it is useful to get it directly from your diet. Fish are a good source of DHA.
Idk about him, but I spend absurd amounts of time gaming when it's too easily accessible. I get hooked, enter a flow state, and waste a day or accidentally stay up until morning managing my colony in rimworld or something.

I moved recently, and my current setup isn't conductive to that kind of gaming; I'm limited to games I don't hate playing on a controller. Which, fortunately, are the games that I don't get hooked on in the same way
AWS Database Migration Service had a shockingly large gap between how it's marketed and how well it actually performed.

It had so many gotchas and broken features. I'd be amazed if anyone got it really working on large applications without weeks of time invested.

It would be so cool though if it worked seamlessly. It addresses some of the hardest tasks in DB management, namely zero downtime server migration.
>People get concerned about the toxicity of fish, yet the air they breathe in the polluted city they live it does far more harm than a food can ever do.

I could see this being a possibility for many Asian countries, but I'm skeptical that this would be true for the US and Europe. Do you have any sources?
The modern life is horrible to mental health articles that ignore alcoholism and violence and social problems of the past are always suspect.

Yes, some kids are on psychiatric drugs that should not and we don't have tolerance for kids that don't do well in early academic. But we also don't beat the shit oit of them when they misbehave, so it is not all just bad.
Wonder how does it work with Clear Linux
There are books and YouTube videos that explain how to prepare food. A couple of personal favourites are Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child et al, and the Roux Brothers BBC series (on YouTube).

These things have to be learnt just like anything else.
I was talking about this with a friend the other day. I don't know about the technical feasibility (RE sybil attack[0]), but if it were possible, it would have a massive impact on the web. The current state of the art (in terms of new user signup) is using phone numbers as representing unique "trustable" people, which is kind of absurd.

This reminds me of how social security numbers weren't originally intended to be used as unique identification, but the demand for some form of identification was so strong that organisations ended up hackily using it anyway.[1]

> The end of the article the owner talks about why he doesn't just give the domain name to Microsoft for the good of security

I can't even take that type of statement (in the article) with a straight face. You have an ordinary person presumably of typical wealth let's say average and he should just give something away for free 'for the good of security'.

This article is insultingly bad. Americans are depressed because we have no social safety net and are one medical incident away from financial ruin.
For awhile at work I used Windows' sticky notes extensively. My wallpaper at the time was an image of old fence boards, so the two combined to make a little kanban on my desktop.
Oh god, I am tearing up a little.

Do ask https://www.facebook.com/csokonaimikroklub/ for stories.

Starting some time in the 80s (1987? or so), in Hungary (this is behind the Iron Curtain, mind you) there were many community centers. One of them in a rather outskirts district have housed a "micro club" every Friday evening. Yes, piracy was very important because getting legal software was near impossible at that time for the 8 bit computers. But it was a community and later when we grew up many of us staying with IT we learned a lot from each other... I believe it stopped in 2005 or so and then rebooted in 2014 as a retro computing weekly meetup.
This is an insightful comment.

Advertising may not tell the complete story about how a product can be used effectively in practice.

Once I worked in an office that was absurdly cold but North Face gear kept me warm and comfortable. Many people, cool or otherwise, find Apple devices to be usable and reliable for very ordinary activities like sending email, writing documents, or making phone calls.
I do miss that brief window when sites would have mobile-friendly views where they would give you a de-shitted basic HTML-only view if they detected you were using a mobile client. Then 4G happened, and certain markets got wireless data that was on par with what most desktops got through their cable internet, and it was over.

Fwiw the correct way for Microsoft should they decide to bid on this domain to win this auction would be for them to make initial overbids that drive the price up to prevent others simply playing a game of chicken from taking hold and getting sucked into driving the price up even more.
I've been internet free for almost a year and a half, and it's wonderful. My ADHD has entirely gone away. I'm reading anywhere from 30-60 minutes every day. It sounds like you're on a similar path. I'll pray for you that it all goes well. If I were you, I wouldn't delay it much longer, things tend to get in the way and make us put off important life changes.

> In a couple of months I will be cutting off most of those time consuming tasks, whether that's FB, Reddit, HN, following politics, mindlessly looking for entertainment/escape. It's a life choice and I'm really looking forward to it.

Forgot which book it was, Sinner's Guide or Philothea, but the author said that Hercules went off into a lonely area to debate with himself what kind of life he ought to life, and he concluded that a life of virtue is the only one living. Your statement reminded me of it because (a) it's purely a choice of the will, which is the only thing we really have control over, and the only thing we own that nobody else has control over; and (b) he went off away from the busyness of the world in order to have an opportunity to think about his life and how he should live it.
> It would also make its creators obscenely rich.

How? If you want a language to be adopted and become standard, it would have to be free and open-source. You don't get "obscenely" rich from that.

This is a good example of those problems that could relatively easily be solved with a proper public-goods funding mechanism, but very difficultly without.

He has an asset that he values at $1.7 million. His right is that he owns it and can sell it as he see fit.

On the meta level, I want a tool that shows me the wasted time and resources in my business' development pipeline, all the way from idea to delivery. There are endless numbers of tools that will spit out metrics that no one knows how to interpret, but I want a tool that gives me actionable advice on specific things my teams can do to increase their throughput and reduce lead times and work in progress.

Sure, let's just steal people's property "for the public good".

First its domains, then it's farms. Then you're in the breadline.
Thanks for the beorg link - I've been trying to find a way to make my org-mode files mobile-accessible.
For me it’s laziness and forgetfulness. I don’t like thinking about all the things I have to do everyday so I outsource that to apps/documents. Also helps when coordinating with others and when new opportunities/issues arise I can confidently assume I’m not going to miss that dentist appt/event/whatever I agreed to attend a while ago. There’s so many things going on all the time I don’t know how people survive without some
Sort of productivity process/tooling. Unless like you said you’re a farmer or something and you just sort of hang out around your property and tackle things as they arise.
It seems so for some games, at least Skyrim [1].

But reading through the GitHub "Game Compatibility" issues [2], I get the impression that most problems are due to graphics card and audio drivers, not game-specific irregularities.

Yes! I think this would be definitely boost motivation. It would also help me to look at things "before" any positive outcome and remind me not to go... back to there.
A common mistake involving wildcards and the find command
Funny, I don’t really remember. We had one prof from the music dept, and I think he had a number of them. I think a few in the “engineering technology” department, a few in graphic design. Kind of scattered. The CS department, in which I was a student, had none. We also drew members from the local community.
As a species we've barely scraped the surface of understanding this earth. Consider: we haven't even scratched the crust of the planet. Not to mention the infinite space beyond.

This is sorta why it makes me even more mad that our species is more concerned about silly political arguments rather than investing large fractions of our GDP into Science, educating more scientists and unleashing them on the mysteries that the world has to offer.

Instead the greatest minds of our generation are now focused on selling ads. It feels so pointless.
On windy.com they have several realtime graphics for CO2 pollution and it's cousins.
The minimal actual-machine install of a Linux distro pretty much always has a text editor, doesn't it? You'd have to be at sub-busybox levels of features to lack that.

While it’s true that most will have it by default my point is that you can remove them and it is supported. Some Linux distros still expose this directly in their installers.

To some extent you can remove everything but the package installer but that's not exactly a supported configuration.

Sure it is. Ultimately I’m not sure what you’re driving at. This technology is about making things removable and that is a good thing. The choice is in the hands of the customer.
I'm guessing this doesn't work on arm64 as, classically, wine is not an emulator.. Been trying many different ways to get gaming to work on my Jetson Nano

- moonlight-embedded (works, kinda janky though, and the only GPU vps provider that I've used which works is paperspace, and I'd rather not spend about a dollar an hour to play games this way, plus paperspace's west servers are in norcal and I'm in socal so the latency is just enough for certain games to not be that fun to play)

- using qemu + virtgl to run the nvidia geforce now android app (still figuring this one out)

- anbox + geforce now (anbox flat out didn't work)

- parsec (wouldn't start)
As was I, terrible title.
> Probably the best remedy of those who do not wish to trust the Lds charities, would be to stop donating to them.

And the best recourse for people who spent significant sums of money donating to a charity that misrepresented their charitable actions and has acted more like a for profit business would be to initiate a class action suit for fraud and to remove the fake charity's tax exempt status.
I've recently switched my desktop to Linux and almost every game I need runs without any problem using proton. The biggest problem Linux gaming has is the EasyAntiCheat. Most games using it don't work at all.
What asset?

He has an informal agreement with a informal group of organizations to respect his decision of what records to return in response to DNS requests. No one is obligated to follow that agreement. This form of abuse of that informal agreement should result in the group of organizations unilaterally terminating that agreement.

To clarify, does that mean you can continuously train a model for e.g. hundred of hours or are you still limited by the 24 hours notebook limit?

Same here. Except time period longer and it's a few text files and text routines.
I synthesized a very small amount of programming ability and skill from reading randomly chosen and scattered source files of an open source Quake clone’s source code (Digital Paintball 2), even though its comprehension and understanding it was beyond my capabilities at the time, especially at such a young and immature age. That tiny amount was negligible, but it still functions today as a segment of my present and current programming knowledge infrastructure. So you can safely conclude that the activity of reading “seemingly” insignificant programming source code files is a future knowledge, capability, and understanding’s becoming-vital infrastructure. For what power does not have a base or foundation to plant its feet upon?
You can't steal property that doesn't exist. A domain isn't property in any standard sense of the word, or at least the properties that makes it valuable aren't.

Besides which, what you're talking about is known as "eminent domain" and is already a real thing for real property.

Edit: Actually in this case "civil forfeiture" (for the crime of extortion) would probably be a better analogy.
That was pretty fun! Nicely done.

That sounds amazing. I'll have to check that out.
Mycroft does not do on-device speech recognition. That is currently infeasible.

It’s a legally binding agreement. I guess we should start yanking peoples’ homes because all they have is an “informal agreement” with the seller?
I would argue yes just buying it first is all he needed to do to deserve to be able to set his own price. People buy and sell domain names all the time and the ones who scooped up Nike.com or NBA.com likely sold it for a pretty penny. They didn’t benefit society. I would argue there are lots of profitable ventures that don’t benefit society but we allow them I think smoking right away as one example. He is trying to take advantage of Microsoft mistake from what I understand. In the giant corporate world a mistake only costing 1.7mil seems like pennies and they should just grab it and put it behind them. On a side note what do you think of Bitcoin? I wanted to buy it back when it was less then 100 a coin but was broke. It would have shot up in price me doing absolutely nothing to benefit society and actually maybe one could argue hurting the environment as bitcoin mining is very energy intensive and also some may argue bitcoins facilitate criminal activities. But I would bet most here on HN would be okay with bitcoin as an investment. I see his domain no differently.
> (I don't know why you don't explode into viruses ten seconds after you enter the ocean, there must be a way that the maelstrom of evolution doesn't create monsters, eh? Or maybe we are playing Russian Roulette every time we go in the water?)

If humans start living in contact with the oceans for long enough we might! Viruses may seem magical but as with life, its statistics over the long run. There might be viruses with mutations that cause them to annihilate humans; but those mutants may just never have had the chance to come in contact with us and thus die off, or at least don't multiply.
Even if I was a linux desktop user otherwise, I’d still prefer booting to a windows partition just to never have to wonder if the drivers are eating 5% of my FPS, or if that recent crash maybe doesn’t happen to everyone and it’s just me seeing it on Linux.

Games (of the normal kind) are pretty special in that you literally aren’t doing anything else simultaneously, and you are probably running them long enough that a reboot to run them isn’t a massive overhead.

Once in the games I won’t notice that I’m in Windows anyway.

Games these days are tightly coupled to the latest drivers. Both Nvidia and AMD mention which issues they fixed or improved for which games on their driver release notes.

(All of this post assumes that playing games means recent AAA games. Older games, smaller indie games, or non perf sensitive games obviously are a completely different story)
How is it abuse? Giant companies auction off lots of domains every day.

It's not that Rich Hickey doesn't know types, it's that the author is a Haskell-centric programmer who wrongly assumes other programming languages work like Haskell.

A C++ function that purports to have the "a -> a" type can do any number of things with side effects, or have an int specialization that does something different, or even fail to compile when applied to a particular type. It doesn't guarantee that "it won’t send your Bitcoins to China" which is a tired charade popularized by Haskellers who pretend unsafePerformIO or unsafeDupablePerformIO(†) or any number of other dangerous functions don't exist.

(†): A version of unsafePerformIO that, in addition to bypassing the type system, is also not thread safe.

On the other hand, why not take a look at Clojure's spec system, which fulfills a remarkably similar purpose compared with a type system?
