Emm, screen config not retained is an OS issue and not a laptop tbo. I agree that tablet mode is not convenient but you are free to stay in desktop mode. USB resources are not enough but I never ran out of USB ports because I have no use for them. I connect everything via Bluetooth, mouse, headphones. Mini display port for external monitor.

Yes, for the price of ~2k you can buy a more powerful laptop. But how less powerful a 1.5 year old Surface i7 with GTX1060 even nowadays? I think the whole performance debate is a big exaggeration unless you're getting into high-end gaming on 4k resolutions or deep learning. If I needed power, I would never go with a laptop no matter how powerful it is. Buy a PC because this is what they are for.

I am personally over with classical monoblock laptops with GPU and CPU squeezed together. It feels just dated.

yeah that's clearly fraudulent marketing.

Hah. Reminds me of getting shards of plastic in my wrists from the original whitebook: the screen lid had two hard plastic "feet" rather than some rubber thing, over time the pressure and variour other stresses (that thing was full of hairline cracks all over the body) would chip away right where your wrists would rest: https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/155554040
I wish I was renting an AirBnB by the beach instead of an apartment in a big city. If this quarantine continues I might as well do that.
Very interesting topics in good hands !
Is it really on the same scale though? It's quite hard getting a sense of what's normal from Social Media sites since they are so US-centric. It certainly seems like a large portion of the population here misunderstand basic science, statistics, biology, economics, etc. Having been educated in the US public school system it's not that surprising that people are so poorly informed.
Janet 1.9.0 Released
Indeed it is a fine balance.

However, what I am trying to convey is that the burder of explaining and testing the code, and why the code is needed, should be on who put it out first.

If we are not brave and decisive when we decide to cut code, the complexity of the codebase will just explode in no time.

It is already extremely difficult to simplify and remove code, if the person doing this job is also the one that need to figure out, from scratch without documentation, why the code was put there in the first place, the simplification is never going to happen.
Yeah UUID would be the way to go. That it doesn't do that anyway when you address them as /dev/sdX, like most of the examples online do, seems odd. I was pretty surprised to find it was tied to the system-ordering if you add them the user-friendly way—you've gotta do the translation to UUID for it, when adding the disk.

Since restoring a disk that had changed its system-ordered address meant re-silvering the whole damn thing (even though the data was already the same?) I was reluctant to do that a third time to fix it by changing to UUID. For now I just don't touch the disks. Eventually I'll replace the externals with internals and then I'll take care of it.

EDIT: that's exactly what I mean—examples strongly favor /dev/sdX (or similar) but in fact you want to use UUID and the zfs command line tools don't warn you, let alone default to transparently using UUID instead unless told otherwise, either of which would be a clear improvement.

If by "advanced gestures" you're referring to two-finger touch right-click, or two-finger scroll smoothness, then I would agree. I'm not even trying to hold Microsoft trackpad to the same standard of four-finger advanced gestures on the Mac, just what I would consider to be really basic stuff.

I can see though that someone who prefers physical buttons on the trackpad would not have the same complaints...

What's wrong with the built-in search?

I'll agree the start menu search can be slow on occasion & instead of giving me an app will give me a Bing search on IE. That's my only complaint. Otherwise I like how I can search for just about anything with it.

I'm a huge fan of the processes/windows search (Ctrl+Win) to help me find an app on a different visual desktop or a browser tab hidden among the weeds.

I just warn you... I think the impulse is to look at this software and think "ok this stuff is kinda rough around the edges. I know, I'm gonna write my own IDE and Compiler and all that in my own language of preference, and use that instead." Do not do this. Learn their tools, their way of doing things, and really try to immerse yourself if you want to learn. Write your own FORTH. It really is a religion with strict opposition to unnecessary abstraction and complexity to a degree that will put most contemporary programmers off balance. If you go in with an open mind, you'll get a lot out of it.
I'd think with new lower mortgage rates vacation real estate will rise in value.

Sure, some people get squeezed in the short term, but in a year or two this will probably be all over and people will be desperate for their vacation.

I think the JSX is just fine as an HTML-in-JS syntax. You can use JSX independently of React. Here's a 200-line library that lets you use JSX as a templating language just like Handlebars: https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder
Cool idea. Just to explore it further, I think it’d be interesting to create a model that included a couple other major factors, like when the comment was posted relative to the front-paging of the article and where the parent comment fell on the page (this comment is responding to the top comment, which will help it a lot).

I guess I’m not aware of an analysis with this goal (who and what types of comments engender more conversation) anywhere else, and actually doing it would probably be pretty fascinating. Again, cool idea.
"I am told by reliable sources within my own family that some of these parents are even pressuring their neighbours to do likewise, and are shaming dissenters on social media as bad parents. It’s lockdown by mob.

To some extent, I find this attitude of populist hyper-vigilance to be exasperating, because sending your young kids to school is now generally safe (and, selfishly, because I think my own seven-year-old could benefit from getting back to a structured education environment). But we got into this mess by letting our guard down, and so it’s not surprising that many ordinary people want to err on the other side of the equation for a month or three. Whatever your views, though, if you’re all in a fuss about lockdown policy, please remember that the real lockdown was never imposed by government. It turns out that it was inside each and every one of us all along."

This is a real slight of hand thinking.
People were primed for lockdown, even shamed, and then the claim that it was never imposed by the government.
Really nice! I often copy and paste recipes into text files I have locally so this is a great alternative.

One feature request (if I may be so bold): it would be great to offer an imperial<->metric convertor. This is predominantly one of the reasons I keep copies of recipes I find and use.
Is there evidence that the "annoying recipe sites" in question include algorithmic stories, or are you speaking hypothetically?

A potential mechanism is discussed in the article:

> Last month, Sherry Chou, a neurologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, began to organize a worldwide consortium that now includes 50 centers to draw neurological data from care patients already receive. The early goals are simple: Identify the prevalence of neurologic complications in hospitalized patients and document how they fare. Longer term, Chou and her colleagues hope to gather scans, lab tests, and other data to better understand the virus’ impact on the nervous system, including the brain.

> Chou speculates about a possible invasion route: through the nose, then upward and through the olfactory bulb—explaining reports of a loss of smell—which connects to the brain. “It’s a nice sounding theory,” she says. “We really have to go and prove that.”
I think this is the future.
But the discussions are extremely polarized in the US right now. No other country is even close.
> ...boomers will be unloading homes too over the next few years...

This might be true in some markets. In the LA market, my friends who were using the "wait a few years" strategy have been very, very disappointed.
Ask HN: What whiteboarding solutions do remote teams use?
The team I work on is 100% remote. Something we have always lacked is visualization during brainstorming sessions or expressing ideas quickly visually. Ideally it would be a stylus style of interface/input and less KB & mouse. Size is an issue as it needs to work in a home office. Thanks.
When I think of before, I remember how 13 year old me "deployed" a PHP scripted (gaming) website over FTP to be used by 10k concurrent users on a shared hosting server that I later found out to be run by a single 16 year old guy (that company is the country's largest hosting provider today). Everything worked flawlessly and was fast; the hosting guy wasn't a wizard as well.
I live in the city. Having a job in the city is just a bonus. And when I started professionally working I lived in the city and all my jobs were in suburban office parks. So commuting was never a concern because I never really faced the traffic. I love living in the city but not at the prices they were trying to charge.

I loved the idea of AirBnB when it was a niche player. The idea of staying in local neighborhoods was really appealing. But now, entire blocks have been converted to AirBnBs and the local neighborhood is just a bunch of tourists and the locals who hate them.

> the human body can't directly detect blood oxygen levels, and only infers them from blood CO2 levels

This is not quite accurate. The body monitors blood chemistry centrally (in the brain and spinal cord) and peripherally (in the blood vessels).

Central chemoreceptors only monitor pH of the cerebrospinal fluid, which indirectly tracks blood CO2, but don't monitor O2.

Peripheral chemoreceptors monitor O2, CO2, and pH.

I keep a log of things like "here's the parameters for tar to extract a file" (yeah, I know, there's man pages, but not all systems have them). I review that item when I have to extract files from a tar archive. Until then, I don't care if I forget it - that's what the file is for.
It would be interesting to see how this responds to dynamics. For example, a favorite guitar sound is a fuzz cranked, but with the guitar volume turned down. This results in a compressed dirty sound that can overdrive into distortion if you hit the strings harder (attack).
Let's make everything about "billionaires" and completely ignore any good news.

Try to introspect why. I'll make a suggestion to start you off.

On friday you have a number of problems that you can't see how to tackle properly and it's disheartening. Having two days to sleep on it, you've subconsciously seen a way forward so that block's gone.

It's probably not that but I'd urge you to look inwards and see what you find.
Even if the action was a crime, discussion about an illegal action, including instructions on how to do it, are not illegal. It might be illegal in very exact situations where you are giving information directly to a person you believe will use that information to commit a crime, but sharing the information in general as a topic of discussion is protected (at least in the US, laws do differ in other countries but I find the US law as the best one to go by).
What is the difference between "distortion itself" and "only the frequency response"? Are you saying the phase response is important?

Virtual DOM actually has some efficiency benefits. So it is not as easy as no Vdom = better. Also React, Angular or Ember does not add a lots of code to the project. I am 100% sure real world app written in each of major frameworks including Svelte has almost exactly the same size. Svelte has the same problems like React or any othe framework.
The issue is that we all already benefit from increased automation and new technologies. We all carry computers with us with powerful batteries and access to the internet.

It's the (much rarer) high-skill workers whose productivity has shot through the roof by using technology as leverage. The individual low-skill worker's productivity hasn't really increased by a lot, unless you say "we've built a robot that does 95% of the work, but let's attribute all of the output to the remaining 3 humans".

> Furthermore, UBI would reduce corporate socialism and get us back to a free flow of capital, as the wealth would be fairly spread across society.

The issue with "fair" is that it's very subjective. Some may say "it's fair when everyone has the same", others may argue that it's unfair when somebody who works hard gets the same as someone who chooses not to work at all.
When the author says things like:

> But Katcher has no research grants or university lab or venture capital funding, no team of grad students mining databases and screening chemicals in the back room.

> One thing Katcher has going for him is the correct theory.

I start to suspect the author’s opinion is stronger than their evidence.
Kanban has really helped me keep the Monday sense of urgency all week long. I feel very focused on Monday because people tend to schedule meetings, things get kicked off, there are clear next steps; you're usually not bringing the previous week's baggage into the new week. By Wednesday more things are in-flight, blocked, ramping up, ramping down; there's more mental baggage; it's harder to have mental clarity around what needs to be done and what I should prioritize.

Putting those things into kanban helps me get all of that juggling out of my head and onto a board where I don't have to be mentally burdened by it. It becomes easier to focus on what's at the top of my queue -- if something gets blocked I have a place to park it, and if I'm blocking someone I've got an appropriately-prioritized place in the backlog to park it until I can help. It also helps me limit the amount of "Work In Progress" so I can turn my full focus onto whatever my top priority is at that moment.
This movie is trash, and removing it is a good thing. But I'm very uncomfortable with the power of these private companies to censor and shape public opinion.

Will we have a Facebook influenced the election scandal similar to what happened with Russia?

What happens when they silence an unpopular voice that is nevertheless true? Are we all not therefore poorer as a result?

It feels like a black mirror episode in the making.

Not sure I agree with your conclusions. A high amount of response could just mean a controversial/inflammatory comment or a comment of inquisitive nature that people want to respond to, instead of a high-value comment.

The only way new life and new ideas arise is in the wake of the deceased. Death is neccessary for life. If those at the top can further cement and accumulate their wealth and power due to living longer lives, this is bad for everyone else.

The point of view of a mobile platform is that the more you expose of the hardware the more your future hardware is restricted.
In addition to the examples other have given where it improves the visuals, raytracing can make developing a game easier.

Currently, game developers spend huge amounts of time cooking up scene specific lighting hacks, things that make no physical sense but result in the visual appearance they are after.

Another hack is dynamically computing an environment map for a shiny object (that is, rendering the scene from the vantage point of the object) so it can be used as a texture to model first order reflections. It is infeasible to compute that dynamic environment map for every object, so the art department picks and chooses which assets get reflections and which don't. Or maybe an environment map is computed from the vantage point of the centroid of a car, which is used for all reflections (windshield, bumpers, roof, hood), and that works OK for objects which are far away from the car. But if there are any objects near the car, the reflection angles are wrong in different ways on different parts of the car.

With raytracing, a lot fewer hacks are needed. Yes, what nvidia is offering here is a hack in its own way (denoising, neural net upscaling too), but is one hack which applies to all cases, vs the old way of needing to create a different hack for each situation.
I think I had it as well. A good month and a half to two months ago. But there was no testing where I live, and antibody tests doesn't exist here yet.

But as you say, a weird "flu".
> the company doesn't get that $100 bill right away, only if they can dig it out 2 years later.

There's a fundamental tradeoff between the percentage of communication that gets captured and the usefulness of search. We take the position that email threads shouldn't be archived unless someone flags them to be saved, on the assumption that for most employees there are only a couple dozen (if that) really important email threads being created per year.

But the value preserving this knowledge can be extremely high. E.g. most SaaS startups are built in part by wiring together a few third-party APIs, and the process of partnering and integrating with those third parties often involves email threads with hundreds of messages back and forth. If those threads get lost because the person leaves the company then that becomes extremely problematic.

Big fan of this app, and I love it so I don't have to keep revisiting the sites. This is one of the few apps, I've purchased multiple times: for my iOS eco-system (I typically cook with my iPad), my android phone (so I can add recipes on the go), and my partner's devices so she can add recipes to our list.

We've developed a little workflow where we put all the recipes we want to try into an "incoming" category, and then move them to one of our custom categories when we make it and decide it's worth keeping. This is a reaction to becoming recipe hoarders when using a site like Pintarest for something similar.

The iOs has a really subtle, but nice feature when you're cooking with the app. It prevents the iPad from going to sleep and locking which you have messy fingers.

There's been a lot of nasty news articles about rich white people getting pumped with young people's blood. It's something easy to manufacture outrage against.

There are callouts in the article that try to calm down that viewpoint at least like:
"
Katcher thinks that the molecules involved will not be difficult to manufacture, so that when a product is eventually commercialized, it will not require extraction from the blood of live subjects, rodent or human.

>Ryanair is a wonderful example of two extremes - it’s one of the worst possible airlines that nickel and dimes you for everything, it’s not a great employer, and it is rated the worst European airline; however, it’s dirt cheap.

This is an interesting conclusion. I would say that being cheap and terrible are not two extremes, but the same one.
