The Force Touch trackpad was introduced in 2015. My 2015 MacBook Pro has one. I rarely use the “harder press” feature, but I love the adjustable click pressure (lightest setting for me), and how the same pressure anywhere on the trackpad works (as opposed to hinged models). I’m ruined for any other laptop just due to the excellent trackpad.
It depends on what you're doing. Swift Foundation is cross platform for Windows/Linux/macOS and exposes apis for things like file systems, paths, process creation with the caveat that what a "Thread" is or what it means if a file is executable is a little different between platforms. If you're writing a cli tool you should be able stay mostly within the Swift stdlib and Foundation and that'll work on all platforms. As more libraries are ported to Windows (e.g. hopefully swift-nio), that should become more and more the case.

Where this isn't the case would be if performance mattered, some of Foundation system api implementations (at least, the Windows ones) can be a little inefficient since the Foundation api model and the Windows way of doing things doesn't always match and the Windows implementation has to do extra work to match the semantics.

Another would be UI wise, I haven't heard of plans for Apple to open source SwiftUI. Though since Swift can call into the native platform apis, it's quite possible to write a (perhaps not as slick) alternative.

(Australia here.) Maths was my favourite subject in high school mainly because everything else was taught so badly - history (regurgitate names and dates, for some reason mostly Greece, Rome, WWI), science (learnt how to be good at faking experiments! I couldn't believe it), english (memorize and regurgitate teacher's pet theories on set texts). Not to mention art and music which were just atrocious. I absolutely loathed poetry classes until discovering a few years later that I loved it. Maths is just harder to teach badly, I think - less opinion-based.

Actually I did learn something of statistics in physics class - our teacher said "Right!" and "Right-o!" incredibly often, and I & some friends made tables and drew graphs of just how often, and various units and ways to measure when a new record had been achieved.

But most people have a dislike for maths, maybe because it's been mostly answering other peoples' exercise questions. Seems dry and uninteresting, pointless. I'd been programming since I was about 11, so had uses for it all, could test out the new ideas in graphics programs, and had questions of my own to answer. It was something I was always playing around with. (So were music, art, history, science, but that didn't make me like the way they were taught!)

I suspect as part of being on door dash the businesses agree they can use their trademarks.

Door dash seem to be very good at getting large chains onboard, I wonder if this is part of it. Most small restaurants last less than a year, with this kind of strategy door dash can show large chains a nice dashboard every year of how much in sales they redirected from a small restaurant to their chain.
This was the underlying implication of my post. Reading a book is in no way similar to the way we consume media/information today.

This sounds like the status quo of many educational systems worldwide. It's very depressing to me. Obviously some countries are worse than others, but even the US isn't great compared to say, Nordic countries.
You guys have much cooler stuff to play with than I have for profiling things. Also better visualizations, but that is perhaps to be expected from the game industry.

>Some of the VR literature I've read has recommended 90FPS or higher to combat nausea - 11ms
That explains why VR is so computation heavy. Also curious what the mechanism is why you become nauseous under the 90fps. Perhaps the brain observes you are moving abruptly with lower frame rates, giving a constant sense of acceleration.

About telemetry. It feels weird that they are so flexible about their license, I am come from the corporate world, where licensing is set in stone. Is the game industry mostly informal?

>I'll write one myself for Rust someday
You do your game development in Rust? I have interest in Rust, because it has an interesting type system, but perhaps it would be nice to make a simple game in it to learn it and look how that goes.

Thanks for your replies.
I think the IA is considered a library by California so they could do it within the limits of what a traditional library loans media contents out.

Thanks for the resource :) Going to have a look. I am not a web developer, I am very bad at it for whatever reason. I fled the web a long time ago for the big data landscape. I almost ended up creating physical simulations of boats, but I missed that boat somehow, still a bit sad about it.

I don't know how they can pull that off.

They would need to support customers who need that compatibility. So either they start being major contributors to WINE or something like it ... But then what about people who need a propriatary driver? Maybe a VM with hardware passthrough....

But they already have WSL for compatibility in the other direction. Not good enough?

Better retrain the humans.
The reality hurts so much, and it's upsetting to me I can't be more grateful (some people that I know are homeless and hungry, relatively rare in The Netherlands but it's there). I should've done my own research when I was young, but I was young. I didn't know that going to the US would be so tough, no one tells you. 18 months of not even being looked at in most cases, especially US companies (some Dutch companies did). I am constantly borderlining a mild depression now that I think of it. It just feels so fucked up to not have one phone screen at my 1st pick companies but coding grads do (e.g. Full Stack Academy in New York).

My CS master grade was an A [1, EU grading system explained]. I'm sorry for writing all of this, the GPA 3.0 got me triggered.

I think it's because I'm from Amsterdam and not from the US. I've also noticed by watching YouTube that US people had an easier time applying to Google as a grad, a way easier time in fact. I have found no videos of Europeans doing something similar. Not that I have looked, I simply come across them.

It feels that my predicted future was a complete lie. I failed in my goal, spectacularly. Everything I gave up for it was in vain. Getting to FAANG later won't be the same, it's not the career trajectory/velocity I want. I should've partied a lot more. That would've been fun. I do appreciate the education though.

Perhaps I should find a career coach.

[1] European GPA: 8.1 out of 10, European grades are much harsher, a 10 means a god-like level in many cases, I don't think anyone has gotten a 10 as a GPA, 9.1 or 9.2 means you're the best or one of the best in the country/
I'd say the overwhelmingly most important thing in getting past the first screening rung is your "fit" with the job as determined by HR. They can be downright stupid about putting the fit above technical ability and experience.
There seem to be builds using a through hole resistor for R3:

https://github.com/ozel/DIY_particle_detector/blob/master/ha...

The opamp appears to be configured as a transimpediance amplifier. 40M is a lot of gain. Probably keeping traces short and the resistor away from the board helps. That’s probably why they mount the resistor vertically when they use a through hole in the pic above (my guess anyway). Using a SMD keeps the traces short, which might be why they use it in the current version.

Another option could be just to air wire the resistor. Sometimes people bend up the legs on the opamp and wire the resistor/input directly to the IC pin.

I think you might have issues on a breadboard. Air wiring the whole thing would probably work. Or using protoboard, trying to keep the traces short.
Youtube mostly. I also discovered that one of the people at a local regular tech meetup teaches welding at a community college and he critiqued my welds and gave me some useful advice.

I've been using an AHP AlphaTIG 201xd, which seems to be a good machine for the price. It seems that the hard part initially is mostly just figuring out what settings to use to get a good weld. Beyond that, it's about getting used to how aluminum behaves, and figuring out how to position yourself and your work piece so you can keep your hands steady.

My welds aren't anything I would mistake for art, but they get the job done.
So, I though Amazon mostly got to where they are by exploiting the poorly-designed concept of sales tax by selling things across state lines, knowing full well that no one cruelly pays "use tax", and so was able to sell things much cheaper than brick and mortar stores; and then when people tried to "fix" sales tax (still a broken concept) by charging Amazon in as many situations as they could, Amazon pushed back hard until they could see the two major brick and mortar book companies failing, and then said they would comply but only if they could have one more tax free year. Like, I certainly remember people I knew even say out loud they were buying books on Amazon due to the lack of sales tax, but it could be that they just didn't know that there was some other thing about "democratizing writing" that was causing their experience to be cheaper somehow.
The reason that this function doesn't exist is that even if the sender sent a "message" in a single API call, there is no guarantee that the networking code will send it in one IP packet (or one layer 2 frame). We don't want to couple the message size with the lower network protocol, the type of network equipment and so on, and also want to allow merging of messages for more efficient use of the network (If we have a large window size it allows better throughput).

So the job of separating the stream into messages is left to the application layer. (unlike for example in UDP, but then you have to worry about dropped messages)

> I don't care how cheap products are on Amazon, I still refuse to buy computer storage or anything that goes in the human body since they are either unwilling or unable to deal with counterfeiting problem.

Standard Oil didn't have a "counterfeiting problem", so I don't see how this is relevant to them. Or, for that matter, to any other large monopoly that has been broken up by antitrust action.

Also, you as a consumer might judge that, for example, you don't trust Amazon to deliver the product you want in a certain area, regardless of how low the price is. That's fine. But that in itself is no argument for breaking up Amazon in an antitrust action. It's just an argument for not trusting Amazon for certain types of products.

It's the state capital. It may not compare to the antics of stay-at-home protestors, but your insistence on describing the city this way when surrounded by so many ACTUAL small towns is still pretty embarrassing.
Probably depends on the contract.
Building materials are judge based on the standard of "survives for at least three decades without crushing those inside" not "survives the next reorg or pivot." What would be the equivalent of inferior building materials failing over 25 year timescales in software? C isn't even twice that age and the oldest running mainframe software is probably only a little older whereas we've had millenia of experience constructing buildings.
> This presupposes that the DoJ has always been a political weapon.

No, it only presupposes that if the DoJ is going to be used as a political weapon, any administration, of either party, is about equally as likely to use it as any other. Given the general track record of the Federal government, this seems like a much more plausible assumption than your implicit assumption that it only started being a political weapon just now.
I've been running in dark mode for a year or so using Tampermonkey. It works pretty good except minor flashing as the CSS is swapped, which is a little annoying. A built in dark mode will be welcome.

Only the first of those is a reliable source, and it doesn't mention one's complement machines at all, or for that matter C. It's a summary of the C++ standard, which agrees with the C standard on the relevant points, but both are considerably more liberal than the practical requirements on actual implementations of the languages.

It seems that you have no experience of or reliable knowledge about programming in C on one's-complement or sign-magnitude machines, and furthermore you seem to be unclear on the difference between C and C++. So probably you shouldn't be so confident in your opinions!

Again, your comment is riddled with errors, and you draw conclusions from data that cannot be drawn. I have directly addressed your comments and the thrust of your argument, but I cannot address each and every error and misstatement. So I just choose some of the most egregious and deconstruct them as examples.

Much of what you say simply does not comport with reality. Anyone who's been to a grocery store in a lock down state can tell you that the stores became much sparser. A big part of this is because most people simply go less frequently. Also people don't tend to linger. In general, people make adjustments that all but completely mitigate the imaginary issues you're raising. You can rail on about a bunch of hypotheticals, but that doesn't overturn observable reality.

Likewise, all of your assertions about gloves and the virus living on surfaces, etc. It has not been proven that lingering detectable particles on items are a significant mode of transmission vs direct contact with people. And, in fact, super spreader events are linked directly to people in close proximity: funerals, church services, sporting events, parties and social gatherings, etc. Actively respired particles while in close proximity to other humans transmits the virus. Full stop. It is absolutely ludicrous to assert otherwise.

You also cannot draw the conclusion that masks are completely ineffective due purely to micron size. No, they are not a perfect shield, but they can reduce transmission in that clearly not every particle will fit neatly through a space and make a beeline from one person's mucous membranes to another's. This is just silliness. And, when all parties wear masks, it reduces viral contact even further. Reduction of contact with viable virus particles reduces transmission. Clearly.

These are truly facile statements you are making, and it's asinine to expect that someone will word for word deconstruct them. You take a bunch of random facts, misinterpret them, and suggest that you've made some sort of argument. You then go on to make sweeping statements without any basis in fact.

The other technique you are using is to cherry pick information and draw conclusions without regard to the factors that plainly contradict your points, and you equate correlation with causation. Some of those points I made to you in my last comment, but you chose not to address them.

For instance, I addressed your assertion that reopening states haven't experienced spikes by pointing out that there hasn't been enough time to measure. Additionally, many people are still under voluntary lockdown and most states are only partially reopened in any case. Crickets.

But, then you link out to some NBC news report that actually shows spikes in some states since their re-opening, directly contradicting your claims and supporting my assertion that we have not had enough time to draw conclusions. Did you think I wouldn't read it?

TLDR; your arguments are not actual arguments.

I don't know what they taught them, but whom of us wasn't at some point a "bad software engineer"? That's a pretty normal point on a career path & I'm sure those with the aptitude of these students learned and improved afterwards.

I teach programming to absolute beginners (freshmen students in an art school taking intro to programming) & try to not worry too much about "proper software engineering" - I intentionally do stuff like copy paste the same code from one file to another & solve things in a "dumb"/verbose way if it's simpler conceptually (and thus easier to understand).

My goal is to get them from "afraid of the command line" to "can type some code into visual studio that can do something when you press run & then be able to expand on it further". Proper software engineering comes way later & will be taught by someone else (possibly by the students themselves once they realize the naive approach I showed them at first got them into a mess when they tried to develop a bigger program).

If I lend the US government enough money to buy a sandwich, and get back only enough money to buy a half-sandwich it really doesn't matter to me whether they technically defaulted or not. I am down half a sandwich.

The US government 'can't default' but that is basically word games for a complicated tax where nobody is quite certain who is paying. The government is definitely consuming real resources and unlike a tax it isn't at all obvious who would have gotten those resources had the government not redirected them. I'd rather governments were straightforward and levied taxes to pay for things so we know who is supporting state spending.

The conversation really hinges on the semantics of 'default' - in real terms the Government absolutely can default. At some point the country has collapsed, there is nothing left to give (see classic hyperinflation cases) and the government will not make good on its debts. In nominal terms the government can't default but anyone who treats that as useful in their decision making is going to lose out sooner or later when it comes back to real goods and services. I don't want to be one of those people, and I don't want there to be any people like that because it seems dishonest at some level to pretend they aren't losing out.

People call US bonds 'risk free' - that is only in nominal terms. In real terms they are actually quite risky. Take on a 30 year treasury bond today and there isn't any certainty how much it will be worth in 2020 dollars as it matures. Is it a likely net win on the sandwich scale? Signs point to no, but it might be. There are risks.
Did I miss something in this article? It says that David Neeleman of Jetblue donated $5,000. I don't know how big Ioannidis' research budget is but this is peanuts.

Ask HN: Double standards on dating platforms in India
After spending few years in USA and returning to India, I can't help but notice that women in India do not have their pictures in the dating profiles. I tried to reciprocate by removing my pictures and uploading similar content as generic landscapes and quotes that I find on profiles of women but the platforms were swift to make me take those down.
This makes me wonder, the photo policies for women are what ever they like them to be while men have to adhere to them.

Most HN threads linking to a site that has light-grey-on-dark-grey or dark-grey-on-light-grey text have at least one (off-topic) complaint about site style. Let's not make HN one of those sites.
I agree. I think the default behaviour is good. prefers-color-scheme: dark should be the default, but be changeable browser wide (not sure if this is already the case) or per domain - just as it works with webcam access (storing the permission to view webcam for a given domain).
