Wouldn't the best case scenario be all the missed revenue in march-may are simply deferred to the following months?

Of course, for a lot of business that's simply not possible (they were already at capacity), and for the rest that's very unlikely, but it seems possible for some very specific industries.
> DOSBox

Much as I love DOSBox, I don't think it belongs on your list.

In fact, DOSBox's command line capabilities are weak compared to genuine MS-DOS (which is already quite weak to begin with) – it doesn't fully support COMMAND.COM's syntax, it lacks many of the commands/utilities that come with MS-DOS, etc. – it is just the bare minimum to get most game launcher batch files to work. And that's unlikely to ever change, since DOSBox devs generally aren't interested in improving the accuracy of the MS-DOS emulation unless that improvement helps run some game – if you want a more accurate emulation of MS-DOS, they'll point you to FreeDOS instead.
I would be suprised if it's primarily a technological reason.

My thinking is: The Rift S is 99.99% used for "serious" gaming and PCVR will always be that way. For serious gaming you'll probably need some kind of controllers for the near future, since you want that fidelity and haptic feedback. Now, controllers could be replaced some day by braceletes or what not, but this is not going to happen next year.

The Quest and its successors (i.e. stand-alone VR), on the other hand, is and will be more and more used for lighter gaming, video, browsing, productivity, fitness, social etc. Often times, hand-tracking will be enough without the need for controllers.

Therefore, they focus their resources on bringing hand-tracking only to the Quest.
We don't. If they genuinely terrified us we wouldn't enjoy them.

Hard to generalize, each school will have their own struggles and money pits.

I went to a large school in Virginia. They had things like...

* Campus Police / security

* International Student office

* Welcome office

* Student Newspaper

* Student radio station (multiple stations, I believe)

* Art installations, fountains, and general beautification

* Campus religious facilities

* Plenty of on-campus housing, but also a huge quantity of parking lots and garages, and even shuttle buses to remote lots.

* Multiple gyms and fitness centers, ranging from what was essentially a storage warehouse for old athletic team equipment that they'd let students workout with, to brand-spankin-new "fitness centers" that had multiple pools (so that the swim team and water polo team can practice at the same time). They allowed locals to buy memberships as well, and there were a number of kiddie swim teams that used the facilities too.

* Multiple student union buildings, with lots of new, fancy furnishings. It was easy to identify and contrast the older buildings from the 60-80s to the ones that were built in the 90s-2000s -- much larger, more light, more windows and much more furniture. Made them nice to hangout and read a book in, though.

* Road work and even a tunnel under a major 2-lane road. I'd heard they lobbied the city for years to no avail but eventually got traction by offering to subsidize some of the work.

* Lots of street lights, call boxes, and other steps to make the campus less freaky to walk around at night.

* A small child/daycare location on campus as well, mostly for the faculty, though I believe they let anyone (students, locals) enroll their kids there. The Uni was founded as a place to train teachers and nurses, and all of the teaching / psych / early child development students ran it

Does Hacker news?
There is basically none. People on HN have this weird god-worship of John Carmack. He's a great engineer and businessman, but a top-tier theoretical researcher? He has less to offer than most PhD students in these fields. It's kind of insane the cult following he has.
At some point these restrictions to exec() will be enforced on the OS level, rather than on the API level.
> The thing is, it works sometimes.

Yes. It does, like to buy a lottery ticket.
It is not a good investment thou.

> SoftBank really did go big on some very bad bets huh?

This is usually a misconception on how betting works. Many people looks at the result and classifies a bet as good if won and bad if lost. The reality is that the best way of looking at bets is from their expected return. A good bet is one with a positive expected return. Sometimes you will lose the bet and lose the money, but that does not mean that it was a bad bet if the expected result was positive.

If I bet you 100$ against 5$ that you get heads on a coin toss. That is a good bet for you. If you toss the coin and lose the 5$ that was still a good bet and you should take it again if you have the opportunity.

Were Facebook, Uber, Amazon,... good bets? It’s hard to say. What seems easy to see is if they turned into a profit or a lose.
I honestly visited the links and read some of your comments. I still fail to see why downvoting and flagging are necessary. Am I overlloking something?
You will always be able to download Termux from outside Play. I actually have no idea how Termux could even work within Play policy seeing as it's essentially a 3rd-party repo not unlike F-Droid. You wouldn't expect to find F-Droid on the Play store, surely? You have to sideload it, and then it just works.

I hear you. I did an experiment post dot com crash which was to add notes in my journal about investments that were announced. I added my own evaluation next to it as 'makes sense' or 'doesn't make sense.' That helped me contextualize my looking back at things.

I did this after I had turned down a high level engineering job at Netscape pre-IPO because, in my evaluation, every time they tried to charge money for their main product "Communicator" nobody would buy it, and I felt the market for their ecommerce server software was competing against a free alternative. That choice, leave Sun (an Internet powerhouse) or join a startup that couldn't sell its primary product, I considered the leave Sun choice 'stupid' at the time. It cost me about $7M in theory because that is what my options would have been worth (and yes they would have vested before the crash hit).

Since I spent an unhealthy amount of time self criticizing my "choice mistakes" I took it upon myself to figure out if I was being realistic or not. My experience, based on my journal notes, was that I was wrong about half the time. So my criticism was unwarranted. It also helped temper any unrealistic feelings about my own abilities based on successes that were, largely luck driven.
And I take it that when they are deployed, their employers are in some way required to guarantee them employment when they return?

Increasingly inefficient consumer software!

So many celebrities are celebrities for banal, superficial reasons.

Calling this a "very celebrity grocery list" story is a disservice.

Carmack's one of the most accomplished programmers in history in terms of innovation, skill, and longevity. His words and opinions also carry a fair bit of weight, even today. His contributions and technology choices matter in a way that a celebrity's grocery list do not.

If there's an injustice here, it's the fact that there are many Carmack-level coders out there, toiling away in relative obscurity, who don't have their contributions trumpeted in this way.
The citizens get to decide what their best collective interests are. They do that by, among other things, electing representatives that appoint officials to anti-trust committees.

You can't count until you know the (subjectively chosen) boundary of the whole. For example, a minority in your city may not be the minority in another country.

Either way, so what if it affects minorities more often? The question is What is hate speech? and saying "it affects minorities more" does not solve for that definition at all. Hence why the connection does not matter/exist.
For Threadripper, all CPUs and motherboards are fully validated for ECC. (AMD requires Threadripper motherboards to implement ECC.)

It's only Ryzen where the CPUs support ECC, but AMD doesn't require AM4 socket motherboards to implement it. (And you have to verify that a board advertising ECC actually implements ECC and doesn't just accept ECC modules.)

I'm in the same situation, looking to get a new workstation and want ECC. Performance-wise, I would be good with a 3900x or 3950x. But PCIe lanes and good IOMMU separation are also requirements for me, so it looks like I have to go Threadripper. I'm disappointed that there's no 16 core Threadripper that has the other benefits of a HEDT platform for people who don't need zillions of cores. The current generation motherboards are also disappointing in that they max out at 4 PCIe slots. Apparently this is because PCIe 4.0 is still rather expensive at the moment.
This is one of those points that gets misrepresented and then straw manned way more often than not... like fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Economists don't think people are always rational or logical.
There is the timeshift function in the query editor but that is per panel and not per query. So you would have to have a panel per year.

It should be possible with SQL but it is trickier. TSDB's like Prometheus, Graphite and Influxdb (Flux) have the timeshift function built into their query languages. (https://community.grafana.com/t/advanced-graphing-part2-visu...)
You can go back to Hesiod's Works and Days around 700 BC for economic analyses.
I think it's helpful to remember that Musk being in the media is the primary plank in Tesla's marketing effort. So being controversial and therefore being in the media is literally a part of his job. Even before covid-19 got serious Tesla had already said they were looking for a factory location "in the midwest possibly Texas". So that's not some reaction to being shut down in California.

Another aspect though is that right now Tesla is building a new factory in Germany and will start very soon a new factory near Austin. Building these simultaneously will be such a severe drain on Tesla's cash flow that they can ill afford having their California factory shut down for long. In this circumstance Musk could well become hot under the collar especially if he feels Tesla has done enough to mitigate risk to Tesla employees.
This problem persists even in applied classes. I was taking a set of courses in Mechatronics for engineers who were already working in in industry. We went deep into the theory of various types of controls but when one of the students (an engineer with probably 20+ years of experience) asked about PID, it was dismissed as a "special case" of (I think) a Phase Lead control.

Happily the guy teaching the lab portion of the class was himself an experienced controls engineer who actually knew how to use the math to accomplish something useful. We learned far more from him than from the lecture classes.
The norm should be to eat 2000-3000 calories at every meal? No wonder most people here are fat and obese with ideas like that.
Where supporting Ubuntu falls over is when I try and support "power users".

There's like an uncanny valley of competence, between completely naive users who just let things run and experienced users who know where the red lines are when using sudo.

So far I've seen the following breakages:

- completely fuck up apt somehow such that it refuses to update or fix itself

- overwrite packages with their own compiled versions

- mess with the system installed scripting environments

- try and install a new kernel or graphics drivers (usually not even to get something working but because it's "new") and consequently break the boot somehow.
This analogy fails in principle.

For this analogy to be correct, there can be no equally populous squares. But there are equally populous squares.
That's a false equivalency.

Tesla shares are expensive compared to other car manufacturers because investors are placing a bet on the future of the automobile being electric and Tesla having the first mover advantage and becoming almost synonymous with Electric Car. Same way we now tell each other "just Google it".

If it was just for having a yoga instructor as CEO and all you can drink Kombucha at it's charging stations then it is eye roll worthy.
Sleep is essential for memory and skill consolidation. What they mean by not being able to recover sleep is that if you (for example) try to learn something while sleep deprived, more of those memories will be lost the next day. Sleeping extra on the weekend will not make those memories come back. The benefits of sleep are "lost" forever.
This seems fairly trivial to fix by writing an ELF loader.
They were just around 10-20 atoms that were inside graphene holes. They were technically the first, but I have big doubts about their scalability. The new work I was mentioning comes from Josh Robinson's lab at Penn State - the same guys that synthesized monolayer gallium nitride 3 years back.
Just want to make a correction here: Amazon was definitely not losing money on every sale.

I think what you're thinking of is that the company rarely reported a profit. But that was because they carefully managed their finances so that all the money they made was redirected back into growth, either through capital improvements, hiring, lowering prices, etc. before it was reported as profit. Amazon maintained a boot-strapping mindset long after going public.

In contrast, some gig economy companies are losing money on every sale; they generate no new capital of their own and their growth is financed entirely by external sources of capital.

Do you use a Chromium-based browser? Chrome/ium's Print-To-PDF uses quite a different (better) method for generating the PDF compared to the OS-level Print-To-PDF.

The OS-level PDF converter can lose a lot of information. Especially hyperlinks are not present in the PDF when it's generated through a print driver.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few times when it sucks to be a Firefox user, because it doesn't have a builtin Print-To-PDF.

Honestly, at least sleep makes me feel good. Distractions (like HN) make me feel worse at the end.
Wow, I have been looking for just this tool. First, the ability to highlight and save interesting passages on the web. Second, something to give me value from my own browsing history. Third, an honest, open, paid service that aspires to the vision of the original Memex. I really hope this succeeds.
Oh for sure...it's a symbiotic relationship, kind of like a non-coordinated conspiracy, something that is a lot easier to pull off than most people think. It's funny how many people seem to only be able to recognize the obvious herd-like behavior of people under certain topics of conversation, but if you change the topic then it is ~"literally impossible".
> There's also an important difference between "your house" and a common open forum with tens of millions of people.

No, not really. The only difference that's important is between forums run by the government and forums that are not. In the case of the latter, the people who run it have an extremely free hand.
We are also working on an expression language to backfill other data sources. You can see the frontend version of this - transformations in 7.0. The backend version which will support functions like timeshift is in alpha for now. Hopefully it will be officially released in the near future.

Those are all valid points, but from a business perspective the biggest problem for Uber is and always been that their product is fundamentally a commodity. Sure, economies of scale can help, but nothing they can do can change that underlying truth.

Yea, I built a ball beam balancing device that torqued the beam using electromagnets (instead of the standard 2nd order system with a motor in the center and fast response). The electromagnets can not 'instantly' change the angle of the beams, and the ball's dynamics lead to overall instability as it rolls around and accelerates faster than the system can respond.. Without a derivative term it would have been impossible to control the system. That being said, the project was deliberately contrived in a way where the effects of the P,I,D terms were observable.
You're claiming that there's nothing but physical forces at work because we've yet to observe anything else. axguscbklp is claiming that subjective experience is such an observation.

To find out which position is correct we must attempt to find a link between physical phenomena and subjective experience. If we are not able to find such a link then perhaps they are not actually connected after all.

You are assuming such a link exists and has just not yet been scientifically articulated. For what it's worth, from my own review of the literature, I tend to agree we have been making progress on this front and will likely find a link eventually.
Speaking of that why don't you select an ad network that doesn't try do malign things to your uses?

Unfortunately, Monopolies are profitable and we do not yet have the policy/law/political will/experience/all-of-the-above to prevent them for technology-at-scale.

Been reading "Goliath" lately by Matt Stoller -- there are some crazy similarities between monopolization in the early 1900s and now.
Sure, but this is about API level 29, not 30+. We can speculate that API 30 will disallow non-Google-written code by default but that's not the discussion at hand.
> If it was happening in the next century we would at least have some idea

Just like at the beginning of the 20th century we knew ~0 about quantum physics and less than 50 years later A-bombs were getting dropped.

Or how, at the same time no plane could achieve sustained/controlled flight (and the goal was merely to stay above ground) and less than 70 years later not only were we leaving Earth's atmosphere: a man was walking on the moon.

We have no idea how long it will take to achieve AGI, let's leave it at that.
We changed the URL from https://github.com/xz/new.css, which points to this. Both are great, but when a project has its own site it seems best to link to that one, as long as it links to the Github or equivalent page when there is one.

This is a misunderstanding of what it means to be an introvert. Introverts are capable of talking to people. The inability or disinclination to place an order for food delivery is a sign that you are disabled, not introverted.
I like grafana for graphing but it still lacks essential features for alerting. Most important would be per-series state tracking (https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/6041) - the issue is open since 2016 and it does not look like it will ever be fixed :-(
An alternative point of view is that AMD took the long view and invested heavily in future gains at the expense of short-term gains, allowing the market to be even less competitive for Intel during that time.

Perhaps their current situation isn't as much a "lucky coincidence" as the payoff for a very successful long-term strategy?
Musk is a more vocal, libertarian version of Steve Jobs. He pushes forward when others say no. Like him or not, you cannot deny his achievements.

The best book I know of is pretty old by this point, but it's very readable! Modern Control Systems by Dorf & Bishop. Probably pretty expensive by now, too!

There's also the Control Systems Design Guide, but that's more of a cookbook-style. Dorf and Bishop is a theory book, but a good one.

Not sure what's "bad" about Chromebooks, seeing as you can unlock them and install standard firmware. Then your only obstacle to using them as you would any other laptop is OEM hardware that's sometimes not supported by the mainline kernel, and a mildly non-standard keyboard. Android is a lot worse than that, many devices are not even OEM unlockable in the first place.
