This wouldn't be a problem if the underlying operating system APIs wouldn't treat accessibility as an opaque "feature" baked into their UI frameworks.

There should/could be open accessibility APIs in each OS which sit between (e.g.) screenreader software and custom UI frameworks.
the subdivision of earth in continents is suboptimal for grouping humans by resemblance. for instance humans around the Mediterranean sea are the same, even though they are on 3 different continents
Attention is time. They are interchangeable for the discussion.
Isn't that equivalent to giving time to someone?
A conversation requires not just a request but also a response. Here it is:

<< No thanks, we’re not interested in investing effort in making sure you can use our software on operating systems newly released 17 years from now. Please fund our efforts by purchasing a new version once every 10 years. >>
No. For now a real MacBook is still a computer in the traditional sense, you can run your own code on it. An iPad isn't.
This sounds similar to how many large orgs try to put in place 'fair' promotion practices.

It turns out that the easiest, and probably fairest, is to just eliminate the candidates that obviously do not make the cut, and then have a lottery of the remaining candidates.

I recall going to a very good state engineering school. Because it was a state school, it had to accept a certain number of people from each school district in the state. It was not a policy that worked out well for the students who were from weak districts. They flunked out or transferred to less rigorous programs. They were obviously smart, but completely unprepared. They would have been much better off going to a community college and getting prepared, then transferring in.
Why don't we see more OS-level integrated remote computing in the Chromebook category?

I get Google started it to run their webapps.

But it doesn't seem technically infeasible to package and sell a set monthly subscription price, that gets you a lazy-allocated machine on GCP.

Spin up beefy software, your computer recognizes "this is more than I can do", checks current networking availability, and starts running the app remotely.

I know there are offerings like this, but it seems like a killer feature if it had full OS integration.

Just plop an overlay icon somewhere in the window to clearly note it's running remote. (Thereby letting users reason through why it occasionally behaves weirdly)
Same here. In a given week, I’ve opened files across 6 different {programming} languages
Is there a training dataset for this kind of thing (with nice license)?
exactly, buying a PC and putting Linux on it is one thing, but laptops nowadays are very locked down and hard to modify. if you want a laptop with Linux, you better hope the hardware works out if the box because otherwise you are in for days of pain and suffering trying to fix it, at least in my experience as a non Linux expert. personally I look for laptops with Linux either preinstalled or commonly installed. if I'm looking at laptops and I see that they offer Fedora out of the box that's a major point even if I don't run Fedora because I know the support is there.
It’s well known. Business buy other businesses to save time.
I never watched Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm however I grabbed season 1 of Curb two weeks ago as I am in lockdown and wanted something different/new (to me) to watch and fell in love with it.

I am now on season 8(!) and there hasn't been a single episode I have not thoroughly enjoyed.

It is a superb show with some excellently executed jokes. Probably some of the best I have seen on TV. Some of the jokes are so superbly setup as well that you don't realise until the punchline drops that the build up has been several episodes.

I also watched Mythic Quest earlier in the year which was a lot of fun. We mostly watched it because my wife is a video game producer so we had a good time laughing at how real some of the craziness can be in the video game production world.

Avenue 5 took a while to find its pace but by the end of the season it was quite fun. Different but well done. I am looking forward to season 2.

I plan to sit down and watch Always Sunny, Veep and Seinfeld now :)
Leopold Museum in Wien, but if you are from US I think you have to do some google search, it should be in some of the big museums.
> If you use Shadow CLJSs (all-in-one tool for ClojureScript), you've been able to use NPM packages directly for many years now.

That's not only true for Shadow CLJS but ClojureScript in general have allowed you to use npm packages for many years as well, although it was a bit clunky. Shadow CLJS did improve the developer experience though.
People need help making decisions \(•◡•)/
That is also not true. On Sia you can have:

* private encrypted backups

A lot of folk like the trackpads on the MacBooks. No idea how the XPS ones compare?

Another thing is Thunderbolt, but IDK if that’s supported under Linux? So that might be a moot point anyhow.
How to install Flatpak apps on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
I'll echo this. This kind of laser focus narrows options a lot after university as well. The dirty secret about most "ML" jobs is that a lot of the work looks like the things professors delegate to grad and undergrad students: data collection, data cleaning, automation, etc. The actual ML is a fraction of the work at best.

Same goes for computer science as such. Most of the work is grunt work in testing, debugging, peer review, etc. As you advance, there may be more time available for pure math work, but that means the amount of communication just goes way up: writing, peer reviews, presentations, management, managing up, etc.

Point being, don't be afraid to develop your application skills. Things like teamwork and communication matter a lot. Computer science is the common major, but most demand is for coders. Of course, what companies need is typically software engineers and (good!) software project management.
Could it be that it is linked to expiration of some Intel patents?
The issue is that you have to continue "fixing" lots of individual utilities. In addition to your file manager and `ls`, what about tools like `fd`/`rg`/`ag` (requires adding `snap` to `~/.ignore` or `~/.gitignore`), `fzf` navigation in the terminal (may require updating `FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND`), "open file" and "save file" dialogs in non-GNOME apps (like Zotero), and so on. The `snap` directory keeps popping up in new places, and discovering all the different ways to hide a non-dot-file is exhausting. In contrast, adding that initial dot to the `snap` directory would avoid the problem entirely.

I have still been using `snap` for the past year, and have mostly been happy with it. It works well for apps like `spotify` and `zotero`, it's a better solution than `ppa` for third-party software, and I like that it tries to introduce a permission model. But not following the dotfile convention is annoying, and not prioritizing a search-and-replace of `~/snap` to e.g. `~/.snap` in the code after four years is strange when this is their most upvoted bug.
But this mixes content and style, so would be difficult to update (for non technical users etc.). Besides, it's fairly bad practice and won't scale to sentences well.
I just wish CSS offered a simple way to fix the aspect ratio of an arbitrary element.
Ah, but what are you doing with the time you have? Is what you’re doing saving other people time?
Not having a touchscreen is a big plus point these days. It usually means you get to use much more precise input devices instead!

Touchscreen devices with touch-centric operating systems/UI systems will never replace 'proper computers' for 'serious software' as everything has to be so completely dumbed-down for touch, simply because you can't build a complex and feature-rich UI for such a limited input device.
Jerry and Larry could use the lockdown time to help work on the game. The virus might produce a positive here.
The Bigamist's Daughter
It's true that there are fewer games. If someone's really into laptop/desktop gaming, they probably want a Windows system.

Though it's also true that, for a lot of casual gamers, laptop gaming generally may not matter all that much.
I did not expect this post to end with ditching remote work.
Not for COVID-19, presumably.
I've installed it on a Macbook Pro 15 Retina Late 2013 everything works out of box.
I just benchmarked a bunch of hashmaps, and the fastest maps were using a power of 2 as size.

So they could do "x = (x + 1) & (limit - 1)". No division and branch free.
AFAIK most USB keyboards with nkro implement it by emulating multiple USB keyboards, which I guess is also within the hid spec? The manufacturers probably figured that approach was more reliable than using one hid device with a custom reporting format.
And yet it "keeps onslipping, slipping, slipping into the future".

This implies that tomorrow is a bank.
I can insist that there is skill in coin toss too.

I think what we want to look at is how much luck/skill percent is there. If tennis was luck overpowering skill, it wouldn't be an international sport in my opinion.

So rock paper scissors is 90% luck + 10% skill. A kid can potentially beat a professional rock player. Same is not the case for tennis.
Used Thinkpads are cheap, durable and well supported.
Linux will also work well on other brands, it's just that with many cheap laptop manufacturers the hardware has a tendency to fall apart after a few years of use.
Thinkpads (T-Series) just don't do that.
I really enjoyed MQ. It is ridiculous but also quite true to life according to my wife who is a video game producer. A lot of big personalities, egos, etc.

I loved F. Murray Abraham's character. Quite the departure from Dar Adal in Homeland. Overall the whole cast on MQ was very good though.

That there are people to whom this is appealing is interesting. For me personally this sounds like the tenth circle of hell.
Macs still don't have serious GPUs.

But they did still have a growing selection of less-GPU-intensive games. And then Apple removed 32-bit support, wiping out a huge chunk of the Mac Steam library. Oh, and they deprecated OpenGL, too...
What really needs to die are attempts of attributing your own ideas to other people. No one but you was saying anything about sheep buying and that brand is the sole reason for buying Apple products.

Disclosure: I own a lot of Apple products, though I still prefer Ubuntu to MacOS.
Keep Companies Small
ClojureScript has a baseline which you cannot go under. Can’t remember the exact number but it’s something like 250k (advanced compilation but not gzipped).

For this you get the immutable data structures, and a decent chunk of the standard library, which you would use anyway.

On top of that, everything else that you get from the ClojureScript ecosystem, which is run through the Google Closure Compiler, is added incrementally. Use only one function, pay only for one (and its dependencies).
yes, it's a cool idea but I wouldn't want something like this from Huawei.
The movie "in time" (2011) kind of explores this. At the time, I wrote:

> it gets you thinking. What prevents time from being used as currency? Or are we really doing the same by paying people an hourly rate instead of based on their accomplishments? Not to mention how many lives that million years capsule must have cost.
That gets you Windows and OSX, but it's really easy to break the Windows partition when you install Linux.

To triple-boot, you start with OSX, then install Windows via Boot Camp, then resize the Windows partition to make some empty space after it for your Linux install. Then you install refind, and follow up with installing Linux.

You need to do it that way because Boot Camp won't let you leave any empty space on the drive, and you can't put your Linux partition in front of the Windows partition, because the Hybrid MBR partition table that Windows needs can only count to 4 (or something like that).

On the bright side, I think triple-booting is more robust than it used to be. It's been a while since the last time I borked Windows.
Except that in the tradition current when I was growing up neither Mr nor St require a dot because they both include the last letter of the word. The dot is meant to indicate that letters following it have been omitted.
I don't see why you would want satellite internet connectivity in the suburbs. This is meant for remote locations without an affordable alternative. In the 'burbs you have your pick of cable, DSL or LTE.
They extended the closure until Tuesday.

But I believe the general public doesn't really notice it because orders are still being taken and delivered via, I suppose, distribution centers outside France.

Friend ordered multiple things last Saturday (supposed to be closed) and he received some packages the next Thursday and today too (Saturday).
What about two tin cans connected by a string?
Anybody know of any work done to improve greenscreen keying? The current old school techniques work quite poorly and require so much manual work. I would imagine with the new work coming out with neural nets etc. there would be possibilities for improvement. This is very cool work and good for certain applications, but seems to produce similar problems like greenscreen to some edges.
Staying in hotels during solo travel is so remarkably effective at depressing me in ways I didn't know were possible (and I mean real, deep, prolonged feelings of existential loneliness and dread that eat at my core), that I just can't advocate staying at them. Obviously there are hostels at the other end of the scale when traveling for pure personal joy, but they aren't for everyone.

AirBNB used to fill the midpoint in a way that was fairly difficult to do otherwise. It's a shame it became what it became. I only had good experiences back in ~2016-17.
They do make iPhones and iPads in that price range
Hopefully - that's what we're working on :)
This is why a fixed currency makes sense.

You work and convert your time into currency which can be traded for other goods or services.

When currency is manipulated, it allows the manipulator to make your currency worth more or less. effectively theft.
If I remember correctly, the good old PS/2 keyboards used to send "key down" and "key up" events - so no limit on number of simultaneous keypresses. Why was this not reflected in USB HID?
I hope the applications you made with Nuklear and Dear ImGui were only for fun, and not important for someone's job, education, or other essential tasks, because those toolkits have zero accessibility, e.g. for blind people with screen readers, as well as people with other disabilities (e.g. those who require voice or other alternative input methods).
vs what, the airbnb host?
That was a very long advert.
I’ve often wondered what society would look like if optimized for saving people time. Just some quick thoughts:

- Crosswalks and traffic lights would become non-existent and replaced with more pedestrian overpasses, turning/merging lanes, and other designs. Waiting for the light to change is a huge waste of time for both pedestrians and drivers. It seems like we might get this eventually with self-driving cars.

- Minimization of waiting rooms. If your appointment will be delayed, you’ll be informed of it ahead of time via SMS. Time slots are strictly enforced to avoid overlap.

- Purchase and checkout items while you shop, rather than waiting in line at a cash register. Or just skip shopping in person and order everything via delivery.

- Adoption of remote work and minimization of unnecessary commutes. Plus faster public transit in general. Japan is pretty good with this (the Shinkansen is impressive.)
Crypto CEO explains how to save money on crypto taxes
Yes. I like this paper (https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S02196220185...) because it explains in general terms what AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is and related tools.
In Google Scholar there are pointers to other researchers, for AHP the most cited one is Thomas Saaty - https://scholar.google.com.br/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=s...

Remember once again, AHP/ANP are not the most 'useful' ones, having advantages and drawbacks, but they are a good starting point on Multicriteria Decision Methods (MCDM).

You may want to check MAUT/MAVT, PROMETHEE, VIKOR, Best Worst Method, and TOPSIS (this one is quite simple to understand and use).
It's about input devices and UI features much more than RAM.

iPad apps are expected to have massive buttons for big fat fingers. Pro software requires a mouse and a keyboard, a much more precise and flexible combination.

(Yes, you can get the Apple Pencil and an iPad keyboard. But it's a bit chicken-and-egg, people don't have the accessories because there's little software that uses them. And there's no software as few people have the accessories...)
A few years ago I picked up a second hand 12" Macbook. Without a doubt it has been my favourite laptop I've ever owned. I'm pretty sure this is as close as they'll go to a chromebook competitor. I wouldn't want it as my main machine but for programming and general use on the go it's a joy to use. The dimensions are brilliant, it feels lighter than any chromebook I've used, and it has a "more full" OS than an iPad. I was so sad when I found out they'd discontinued the line.

The battery is on it's way out now and the keyboard is getting worn out but I'm pretty sure I'll get it repaired rather than picking up anything else. I'm not one to buy apple products usually but I've been so happy with this purchase, I'm not sure another laptop will ever top how great this one has been for me.

This section feels like a stub where the author forgot to finish it. Was really hoping for some good ideas.
The whole point of these rumors is that Apple's putting these chips in MacBooks, running macOS. So I don't get this kvetching about "stripped-down computers" and "dumbed-down user experiences".
It feels very culture dependent to me, and almost certainly to become a dumpster fire once/if it develops mass appeal.

Could it be cool? Yea - if people are respectful, curious and - somewhat - open/trusting. It probably won’t be/stay like that though.

Edit: I grew up in a small rural community. People still remember the open party line telephone system. There was a cultural “etiquette” about using it because you had preexisting relationships with those people (however distant). A conversation app needs to have a limiting feature: geographic, contact list, etc.
Natural Selection: How a new age hustler sold the sound of the world
Sure, and that’s why I said “/usually/ a rhinovirus”.

But saying the common cold is “almost the same virus” as coronavirus still isn’t true as a blanket statement: the vast majority of common colds (up to 85% by your stats) are a caused by completely different virus family.
I am going by compute benchmarks, which should be relatively unaffected by the OS. (The OS could slow them down if it really wanted to, I guess.)

The shortcomings of snap are well documented. I assumed anyone reading the comments would have been aware of them. But apparently some people will jump on any chance to virtue-signal.

Keep your head down, dont make waves, dont ask for raises, dont cause trouble, follow the rules, be humble, are all great for fitting in to the machine, but not necessarily for becoming a leader.

In my neighborhood (mostly wealthy white) the people are so pushy, I can't believe the expectations they have for how the world should cater to them for every little thing.
How would you define 'frameworkless'? Not using React or Vue or something?
No it is not. Put idiots in a Stanford class they won't be able to do much of the time given to them by Ivy League professor since they won't be able to pay attention
Some platforms do have APIs like that. For example, on Windows, UI Automation is not tied to any particular UI framework; the UIA tree just needs to be associated with an HWND (Win32 window handle). But implementing these APIs is a lot of work. And I imagine it would be especially challenging for an immediate-mode toolkit, because an API like UI Automation is based on a retained tree of objects that the screen reader or other assistive technology can query on demand. So I figure applications are more likely to be accessible if I warn developers away from such toolkits altogether.
Oh no I understand that very well, I’m well versed in statistical mechanics. The thing is that the cross-section of the targets remain low, and therefore the amplitude of the scattering matrix remains pretty low. It’s actually pretty unlikely to successfully trigger off a divergent chain reaction. To use a nuclear analogy, it’s the density is well below a critical density (or rather, it’s far from a critical geometry).
Double spacing between paragraphs is surprisingly helpful with smudged text on physical paper. Many linguistic conventions seem arbitrary, but are really about redundancy.

Punctuation could have replaced spaces.just like capitalization of the first letter in a new sentence,it’s helpful to make things as obvious as possible. Is that period a typo or are those supposed to be different sentences?

Shadow CLJS is very easy to set up and there's a whole book's worth of documentation: https://shadow-cljs.github.io/docs/UsersGuide.html

You don't need figwheel (or any other tool) if you just want to write ClojureScript. You can get a ClojureScript browser REPL like this (mac example):

brew install node

npm install -g shadow-cljs

shadow-cljs browser-repl

I get that it's going to be hard if you want to integrate stuff into an IDE that doesn't support ClojureScript. I use IntelliJ with the Cursive plugin (free version) and use `deps.edn` for dependencies since it's supported directly in Cursive.
Nigerians still have to deal with the effects of legal racial discrimination (segregation was legal only 60 years ago), such as getting racially profiled every time they walk into a store or walk too closely to a white woman on a street.
