Fullscreen has been cumbersome on MacOS since forever. There was an argument that the Windows 95 style full screen somehow wasn't desirable. Then they did implement it in OS X in a way that makes app switching difficult. I use Spectacle to resize windows to fill the screen and it does a good job.

But recently switching to linux and XFCE (after having a personal macs for over 20 years), I'm reminded that being able to hit F11 and have a full screen window was useful all along.

Having a window use the full screen, but not becoming screen modal seems far less heavy handed.
On Twitter, everyone wants to make you believe it's dead and a laughingstock of the Internet. Yet Stadia's tweets get way more likes/engagement now than they did months ago, so it definitely feels like it's growing. Outside of Twitter, if you mention Stadia it usually prompts a "What's that?" 99% of the time for me.

As a user, I'm extremely happy. I recently moved from Google Fiber (Kansas City) to Portland (Xfinity) so I was a little worried that Stadia only worked so well because I was on fiber + Google, but it's worked amazingly well out here as well.

I briefly tried GeForce Now since it's cheaper and it was fine, but I had some input stuttering and graphics downscaling that was an immediate dealbreaker for me compared to the flawless experience I had on Stadia.

To me, it seems like Stadia has the tech down solid, and the biggest downside is the game library. However, they also seem to be picking up the pace they release new games at, and there's way more games per month free on Pro now than there was months ago, so that's really exciting to me.

I play Stadia on the same TV I have a gaming PC (mostly for VR, but occasionally for RPGs with an Xbox controller), a Nintendo Switch, and an Xbox One -- and I've found myself pretty exclusively using the Switch and Stadia for the past few months.

I doubt I'll buy another game in the future outside of Stadia, unless it's something for the Switch. The Xbox is pretty dead to me now (and I don't think I'll upgrade to a next-gen console) and I much prefer Stadia over my gaming PC since I can also play games on other devices now.

I'm excited for Amazon's Project Tempo and Microsoft's xCloud, because they might be better at getting the licensing needed for massive amounts of games at once. In the meantime, Stadia seems like a clear leader in streamed gaming to me.

How is Stadia and other game streaming platforms dealing with "bitrate killer" effects (e.g. grid patterns, flashing etc.)? Do they have enough bandwidth or does it become a pixelated mess like in youtube videos?
Also, video makes it 10-70 ms worse due to frame-buffering and significantly worse codec latency. If you're within 2-3h by car, try ethernet cables and Mumble/"Jitsii Meet", the former at a low-latency star point (locally, if you have to) and the latter in P2P mode. 30ms end2end is possible, but 50ms end2end is quite realistic if you have good internet routing. Inside a city even 10ms could be possible, but that'd need some ultra-low-latency software, no Coax/DSL (Ethernet-based FTTH should do), and a kinda-exotic low-latency soundcards, because Opus alone eats 5ms one-way in the restricted-celt-only-low-latency mode. This is basically the delay of sharing a round meeting table for ~20 persons.

Stadia has been really great for me, in my sort of unusual case. I usually play a video games for a month, then not at all for several months, then back on. In my current situation it didn’t make any sense to spend so much money on a console, to barely use it. I definitely can’t play any games on my MacBook.

Stadia meant I could buy the game I really wanted to play (Red Dead 2), and not worry at all about how to play it. I’m currently on the free trial of the Pro subscription (which enables 4K streaming), but I probably won’t renew. I can keep playing for FREE, capped at 1080p, which I would expect will be just fine. Lag has been non-existent, video quality could be a little better but it’s phenomenal for live streaming IMO.

Edit for context: My internet connection typically hovers around 60Mbps, and I play with an ethernet connection (which I got for remote work, not for gaming, but it's been great).
I am not listening to you because you seem to insist on automating 100 acres of land in urban environment. This implies you have to keep out all the people living around, to prevent them from interfering with the automation. That sounds utterly absurd. Why not doing it on large scale (to reap automation scaling advantage) and away from cities (to leave more urban environment for... how to say it... human activity?)

Oh, and 100 acres _is_ a community garden. In Europe these are everywhere.
Not just macOS. At my first full-time job, I was introduced to Solaris. I had been using Linux for years, and been using GNU utilities for even longer (through EMX, which is like Cygwin but for OS/2). And the lack of options I was used to from the GNU versions infuriated me. They told me, "just put a g in front". Although it wasn't a standard part of Solaris install, the sysadmin had installed several of the GNU utilities (from sunfreeware.com) and they were present with that prefix.

This custom, of installing GNU utilities with a g-prefix, isn't just on macOS and Solaris, but also on other UNIX flavours as well.
I'd be curious what the dimensions here are. Surely a few km squares of strip mines isn't going to make a dent in the forested area?

> forced medical procedure

This is silly. Wearing a cloth over your face is no more a forced medical procedure than wearing one over your genitals.

Now adults are going to discuss weather the costs of getting a high uptake of people in society wearing a cloth over their face are worth the benefit that accrues, if any. You may decide you've made your point and leave it at that.
Sadly, Nvidia has shown multiple times to be extremely user hostile and only concerned in keeping its hold on the computing space. There are I think almost no other reasons to refuse to write an open driver except to avoid to expose exactly how CUDA works, I think. AMD's new open source driver is plug and play, and a true joy to use. In general I avoid Nvidia as much as I can, especially on laptops where I honestly don't see the appeal of having a dedicated monster that wrecks your battery every time you power it on. New iGPUs are excellent, especially those from AMD, and for bigger tasks assembling a desktop computer gives you much more processing power for a way lower price.

If you read trough other comment threads, you can learn all kinds of things adding/reducing latency.

No matter which software you use, some people will be at an advantage simply due to their isp/wired connection/wired mic.

This could be a business idea though: Conferencing software which equalizes everyone’s latency.
Others have suggested starting with the small things - email, text messages, etc. I agree; those are good places to practice.

I've gotten a certain amount of benefit from exposing my work to trusted test readers. Sometimes that's my manager, sometimes my team. Sometimes I deliberately look further afield for readers from my target audience (e.g. people who don't already know the thing I'm writing about).

I hope this helps. Best of luck!

You're right.

Stadia Pro gets you free games (which also remain "yours" even after canceling your subscription), discounts on other games, 4K streaming on the games you've purchased, and supports surround sound.

Stadia Base (free) lets you play your games in 60fps 1080p. This is the tier you play your purchased games on if you don't keep a subscription up.

Good! I like seeing a short CoC that describes the spirit of participation rather than legalistic rules of participation. There are of course risks to either approach when it comes to bad actors (from the top or the bottom), but I think a spirit guide is more robust in the long run.
They will probably tell you everyone else hears them, so the problem is on your end.

> That allows for a wide variety of phrasings or ‘turns of the word’ that are all dead in English since Norman words do not carry inflections German words do about their location in a sentence, which gives German its flexibility to jumble almost any combination of words into a valid sentence.

There is this old joke where two students sit in a lesson and one asks the other, "What did the professor just say?" and the other student answers, "I don't know yet, let's wait for the verb".

Another consequence of this flexibility is that stylistic devices that depend on the word order, like the anastrophe, don't work that well in German.
Because I didn't know about MinHash, even though it dates from 1997! Thank you!
Ridiculously, I learned the other day through trial-and-error that the mic on my headset isn't actually getting used; rather, the one on the laptop is. The device is Bluetooth, and Bluetooth has two modes of operation: A2DP, which is output-only (no mic), and the default. But the laptop mic gets used. The other mode, HSP/HFP, can use the mic, but the audio quality drops tremendously. Like, to garbage levels. My best research said this was because BT lacks the bandwidth to carry both mic input & sound output simultaneously.

The headset at least still has the benefit of isolating the output from the conference to my ears, s.t. the laptop mic picks it up, but it would be nice to not be tethered to the laptop and be able to pace the room.
Ask HN: Crowdfunding – Best Practice
Hi guys,
I've been looking at how to raise funds from my small startup and a lot of ppl are pointing that crowdfunding could be the way to go. In most cases I see that ppl have physical products that they give away to those who support the idea, but how about if you're doing online software product?
I see that there are also different types of crowdfunding - those where you give equity and those where you give your product away.

Any suggestion, comments, ideas are more then welcome :)
I understood the actual market for Stadia to be people who are interested in 1-3 games on a platform (because they are not that interested in games or don’t know more), but unwilling to sink 300$ into a base platform first. Right now there are 5 people around me who are quite interested in the Switch but have put off buying it because they can’t know whether it will collect dust after playing the 1-2 games they are sure to be interested in. That’s a massive market.

I might jump into Stadia for trying Cyberpunk because I’m not interested in getting a big loud box anytime soon (depends on pricing though).
Haven’t they messed up positioning, and reduced the volume too much on the further ear side?
Wow this is great, thank you for the tip! My site uses SQLite3 for storage so this is perfect.

I'm continually amazed at how featureful SQLite is.
>> Consider how your command will be pronounced around the world. Kodak is a word that was designed to sound the same in many languages. lego and ikea might be great command names too, if they weren't already trademarked

Actually, English botches IKEA, which in its native Swedish and presumably most other continental European languages is something like ee-kéa. It took me a while to decipher, first time I heard about eye-keer.
I don't think these kinds of long term, far-seeing projects would survive in the life-and-death contest of startups and the private sector either.

I dunno what the alternative is, other than political activism, pushing parties to support progressive tax policies, and educating our peers and family members. It's not only research on the line here.

Good point, I meant "realistic" as the only technologically plausible scenario. Is it realistic from a human point of view, I don't know.

I see what you mean, but even if a magical carbon capture solution was invented, it would take several decades for it to be implemented on a sufficient scale - given that the current emissions don't increase even faster!! I can't consider it as part of any "likely" scenario.

Also, emerging nations don't really need policies to reduce their own energy usage, as long as most of their own energy usage is linked to the production chain of industrialized nations, it will decrease by itself.
Not sure how ubiquitous the service is across the city but you can get 1000/1000 fiber from CenturyLink in parts of Portland.

Where is it beating Java by any significant amount? The regex benchmark uses Java's native regex matcher, whereas the golang implementation uses a PCRE regex matcher, so not an apples to apples comparison. The mandelbrot benchmark are minutely different on my machine (2.06s vs 2.13s). Note that the test machines that websites use are quite old (certain optimizations or available APIs the JVM has are not supported by those older processors).

Now if you look at the bottom of the list, you'll see where Java far outperforms golang, especially in the binary-trees benchmark (12.67s vs 9.14s and 25.19s vs 8.28s in favor of Java both times).

There's Fedora Silverblue [1] too. It's immutable so every installation is identical to every other installation of the same version. And then you install your Flatpaks isolated from the rest of the system on top of that.

It's not about the price, it's about the freedom I assume. Having free of charge proprietary software for students is a different approach. I wouldn't call it unethical though.

This is a good point. Even if you don't have a shell injection vulnerability, you may end up with a path traversal vulnerability. In this particular case I think you're probably pretty safe as long as you're careful to only pass a single argument to the grep process — but it depends on how exactly grep parses its arguments. If there's a way to sneak ../ in there, you might get hurt.

Bleh. I can see why people install WAFs.
True, but I still doubt that ad costs are any factor for a project like this or any Google project.

As for Stadia, I play games from time to time but it wouldn't have those I like most and I also like to own media, so it isn't really too interesting. I still think it will be a niche product.

Enthusiasts probably won't switch and for the casual market you probably go with a reduced palette of games. Although that might depend on contracts Google can make with developers.
Most large companies are divided internally into multiple entities / different companies. They charge each other for services they provide; the accountants will reconcile all that (“intercompany matching”) then sum up finances of all companies in the group, including stuff they own only partially (“financial consolidation”), to obtain an actual view of the financial status of the entire group.

There is an entire category of software dedicated to this activity, which happens to be my area of expertise.
Stadia Pro has a few months free right now and I'd recommend checking it out if you haven't already. It doesn't take much more than 20-25mbps down to have a good experience, but I have a lot more than that (750mbps) and the input lag / visuals seem pretty identical to my console.

I think most people do not see most teachers as the basic problem in public schools. E.g. polls show overwhelming support for paying teachers more. The same has been true of police, but less so - Maybe that's changed?

If people perceive most of the workers as the basic problem in addition to the management and the government, which they rarely do, but police may now be an exception, I don't see why the union should be spared.

Even if you don't experience discrimination based on body size, enough people do that it's become a subject and there are dedicated activists working to end discrimination based on size.

Additionally however, I don't understand how including it can be harmful? At the very worst it's a rule that never get's utilised because nobody ended up getting discriminated because of their body. There seem to be only potential upside and no potential downside.

AFAIK there doesn't exist a consistent systemic discrimination of people based on eyebrow length, but if it did, yes, why not write it in?

People in CS tend tot think you can just use universal abstractions to solve human problems the same way you can with programming (giant base class problem non-withstanding). I used to believe this too. Why call out specifics when a general description will do? But what I've learned is that we have to specifically call out any discrimination that is likely to occur. Yes, this is more complicated and certainly less elegant than a simple ”treat everybody well” statement, but the world has very clearly demonstrated that this kind of blanket statements simply don't work. People always think that group X or Y is an exception and that it's acceptable to treat them poorly, and thus you have to specifically call out all the groups that you should actually treat well.

If it would be in reference to 'Continental Europe', the calling the Eiffel region the 'heart of Northern Europe' is completely non-nonsensical as it would not even be above the mid-line of the continent.
