Laughed to myself "that maybe Linux laptops should just use a slimmed down android phone as a touchpad". But then thinking about it, maybe it'd actually work. Use it as a security enclave similar to touchbar on macbooks as well.
Minimizing water usage, carbon emissions, etc. are also important yet separate concerns from being organic or practicing regenerative agriculture.
Beyond Meat just arrived in our market a few months ago and while the product is fine, its price is absurdly expensive.

To produce it's purported benefits, Beyond Meat needs to adopt the Coca-Cola / Mcdonalds approach - license the tech / brand to local franchisees for local expansion and utilize the local agri sector for raw materials.
Looking forward to the answer to this question!
I'm fairly fluent in both DSP and software, and find GNU radio indecipherable.

A plain C/C++ implementation is often so much clearer than a flow graph built in python.
Hope I’m not too late for some one to see my post. This is a huge inspiration and an amazing story.

I’m genuinely curious - not being a smart ass. Isn’t 250 employees a lot for the number listed ($20M+)? $2M of rev a month divided by 250+ people is only 7-8K a month. I guess if the majority are overseas that can work?

It doesn't directly fix the disconnect/reconnect issue you're talking about, but I've found ToothFairy[1] super useful to mitigate the bulk of my MacOS bluetooth frustrations.

A few different ways it's come in handy for me:

- The Bluetooth speaker I use for music has a tendency to sporadically sound super hollow. Turns out it has a mic built in, and the voodoo of Mac's bluetooth stack would decide at random when it connected whether it would go into audio-only mode (and use the higher-bandwidth AAC codec) or go into audio+mic mode (splits the available bandwidth between the two and as a result uses a lower bitrate audio codec to compensate for the bandwidth drop). Used ToothFairy to always force that device into audio-only mode.

- After the above discovery, tested doing the same with my actual headset, and leveraging the built-in mic for input. For call audio, it's pretty erratic on whether it'll have any impact at all, and depends heavily on the circumstances of the call itself. Sometimes the audio is massively better, but most of the time the audio is already degraded when it gets to my machine and the bluetooth improvement is moot. That said, makes music in between calls far more pleasant.

- My bluetooth mouse is particularly susceptible to that consistent disconnect/reconnect issue you mentioned. ToothFairy can create a menubar icon for individual devices, which helps to act as a quick sanity check to see if my mouse has disconnected. ToothFairy can also run a shell script on disconnect, which has been handy. At this point I have it trigger a system notification[2] so I'm at least immediately made aware of it, check my idle time[3] in case it was the mouse going into sleep mode from inactivity, then conditionally leverage blueutil[4] to look for the device and reconnect if found (forcefully restarting the bluetooth stack in the process if it has issues). Doesn't fix whatever the root cause is for that consistent disconnect/reconnect issue, but this duct tape re-establishes a connection far more quickly when it happens, making the issue itself significantly less disruptive.

I only stumbled on it via Setapp[1] and tried it on a whim, but it's definitely one of the more handy utility apps I've found and well worth the $5 App Store price for anyone that has similar bluetooth frustrations with their Mac.

You mean the stuxnet attack?
> Whoa. I've never had a comment of mine so wildly misread. You even managed to throw in a personal attack and a diatribe against all of HN. Incredible.

You disagreed with a post that suggests that this wasn't the case. As for the personal 'diatribe,' I've argued this POV here before these recent events to a great deal of opposition as if it was a non-issue. Its in my post History of you care to find it.

I even quoted a person in the thread denying the validity of these claims, as if they're even really needed to discern the obvious.

> We're in total agreement that the entire system is corrupt. I can't for the life of my understand why you interpreted my comment to mean anything else.

Your post doesn't seem to suggest that, but if that's the case then I apologize if you think I was vilifying you.

But understand this is visceral for some of us that have been in the same position and have had our Lives thrown into disrepute for no other reason than 'pissing off' someone with a badge and a gun and saw no recourse for their violent behaviour.

I am a vegetarian who eats almost entire vegan. I know a lot of other veg/an and plant based diet people.

My experience for veg/ans matches the article. Substitutes like Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger are almost always a novelty or treat - something you would order out at an omni restaurant, or maybe bring to a cookout where meat eaters were also grilling. It's nice to have as an option but we're used to building our meals around staples like tofu, beans, tempeh, seitan etc.

I hear way more about these newer processed products from meat eaters who think this is what we would eat regularly, or are excited to try them out themselves. After the recent meat shortages and the million pandemic articles about "how to cook beans" I am convinced the actual target market is meat eaters who are looking to build meals around something as close to meat as possible, rather than people who are plant based.
What are you basing this on exactly?
No, because it can loiter in the air for up to 2 hours in the target area before destroying its target.

Window management seems usable. You can see the utility of a whole screen launcher and targets are big enough to hit and indeed it does look usable but it still looks like its mostly using your finger as a not that great mouse as opposed to being touch first. It also looks like it wouldn't work if it were shrunk down much smaller than the 10" here. Another issue I see where for example windows handles the case a LOT better is automatically popping up a virtual keyboard when input is expected. I believe this is supposed to work with gnome apps when run under gnome but a pervasive standard solution would be welcome as well as a better on screen keyboard on par with something like swiftkey.
What more do you need beyond their press kit?
While I get your point, I think when using Windows, the majority of ibstalled software will be closed source. And most, if not all of them have been granted the same level of priviledge a some point during installation.

The "Snark" had essentially the same capabilities at the start of the cold war. It was "pilotless bomber" that promised to be cheaper than bomber crews. Basically, it was a giant cruise missile that could return home if the mission was aborted. The big runway at Cape Canaveral was built specifically for it, because it landed with skids rather than wheels.

It did actually reach operational status but was quickly withdrawn.
The inline assembler syntax used in D is designed to match the syntax used in the Intel assembler reference manuals.

To be fair, the railroad that built the castle I linked to was definitely showing off its wealth. I don't know what they were thinking, but it seems to have been right around the first world war.

"He says the plant now uses seven million tonnes of pellets sourced from commercial forests in the US a year"

How is this helping? Are we seriously chopping down forests in the US to feed UK power plants just so people can feel good about not burning coal?

Honestly I think most of 'environmentally friendly' options are just scams to make people feel better about themselves, but the costs of the 'green' option is just as bad or worse than the alternatives.

Or if we started paying the actual price for real beef beyond beef would be the cheaper option. Removed the subsidies and include a carbon and water tax on food.
The plan, as far as I can tell, is to raise the price of meat so "sort of meat" has a place at the table for people who cannot afford real meat.

I know they are expecting interruptions because sometimes (as in the particular example that triggered my frustration) they said so at the beginning: "please interrupt me every time you have a question, otherwise I'll feel like I'm speaking into the void and this will be a very boring meeting".

The problem is that Google Meet (or my connection, or whatever technical reason) wasn't up to the task. This has happened enough times that I dread interrupting now. Sadly, one person monologuing is not how face-to-face meetings really work.
After working for Google for short duration, i second this opinion.

You're correct. I misread the caption in the artcle. Those are world numbers. The overall point holds. Britain uses a tremendous amount of wind but it forces it to rely on natural gas for base-load... why not just build out hydro and nuclear?

These are live numbers for my province: http://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.html

At the time of the posting, hydro and nuclear account for 75% (though I've seen it at levels of 90%+). And of course wind/natural gas are 9% and 13% respectively .. because they go hand in hand. Ontario could just buy hydro from Quebec and not even bother with solar and wind (and natural gas) and we could hit 100% renewable by this year instead of 2060 like Germany is planning. We're only building windmills because the population feels that they will a difference when we don't need them at all. What are we doing here? It's all insanity.
I thought it looked like a fake GitHub page on mobile too. It has some distinction but you’re right, it’s suspect. Steam, LOL.
It's fundamentally a bet that the technology is now good enough to unlock a market (basically the same as betting on Tesla a few years ago). The value prop is the tech eventually moving down-market and becoming a filler in some yet unknown 60/20/20 (just pulling reasonable sounding numbers out of my ass here), with the last 20 being plant based, ground beef that will be so close to conventional ground beef that consumers will default to it and billions[1] of pounds a year will fly off the shelves of Walmart, Costco and the like.

I'm reading his Wikipedia page:

tl;dr: he certainly has some balls! Any idea why he even left Google? It sounds like they paid him a total comp of some 120 mil, and he worked there for just 9 years, that's an average of 13 mil a year, not small change by any measure (although I guess that might include the price they've paid for the companies he founded).

I guess he wanted them to keep buying his new companies again and again?

On 2) I’ve seen groups that try to use restaurants, and it’s almost always a bad idea.

On 3) The graybeards came of age when doing tech stuff was only for the nerds, and they needed a way to see other likeminded folks. Today, being in tech either makes you cool, or at least it’s normal (though maybe not much longer given what Big Tech is doing), so there’s not such a strong need for a community outside of “regular” life. You can also meet a lot of community needs virtually.
Seems useful to note that this is built on ArangoDB which is an open source multimodel NoSQL database with document, key-value and graph, also rapid full-text search. You can use the same language for all of them and combine query styles (graph + document in the same query, etc). I'm not affiliated in any way but ArangoDB fulfills requirements of mine and is awesome when Postgres isn't the right fit so I'm hoping it grows and thrives.

A lot of discussion here about Windows/WSL2 or Linux on laptops, how it's gotten good enough for the HN crowd.

The overloading of the Control key as the system menu shortcut ("accelerator"?) key when it's also the default Emacs bindngs for readline in Bash -- drives me utterly insane.

If it were consistent, great, but on Windows there are many different text widgets, from PC console, Win32, and other layers. I simply can't develop the muscle memory.

I have a very cheap HP laptop, the trackpad driver is nearly unusable. I installed the Synaptics Control Panel, and use it to "reset" the trackpad each time it wakes from sleep so that I have a chance at scrolling without randomly selecting the entire document's text and deleting it or dragging it to random places. It's horrible.

On the Lenovo x230, the tiny trackpad is a bit better, but tiny, and the physical trackpad buttons give me the chance at dragging etc in the face of such madness. It's all very nerve-wracking.

The trackpad on the MacBooks have never been a problem for me.

Then there's text encoding. The Win-1252 Code Page. Turning UTF-8 into unreadable line noise in unpredictable situations. The CRLF madness that grows back no matter what.

I use WSL2, Terminal, and VS Code, but it's unbelievably exhausting. Digging out of config issues with Code Signing certificate policy required a re-pave and 12 hours of re-installing etc to get back to sanity. Something needed an old VC Runtime DLL, which installed fine, but also seemed to overwrite a Microsoft root CA cert. Differential analysis with a working Windows we couldn't find the broken cert. Various msc tools and System Policy analysis and Troubleshooters and so on couldn't find it. The CERT: filesystem "provider" stopped working. It was a dead machine.

Linux and macOS configs, I generally know where config files are, and can restore from backup.

Want to restore from a Windows Image Backup? Or a copy of the file system from another Windows installation? Go ahead. Try it.

I got heavy into PowerShell, there are some nice bits there, but it still has to fall back to text processing in pipes if some other tool doesn't output the correct data. Usually JSON, but is that schema documented? Certainly have yet to invest the time in Bash tools that might interact with PowerShell.

It just doesn't stop. It just doesn't. I must accept that people are actually getting work done by adding WSL to the mix, but I guess I just break things.

I don't seem to break things as badly on Solaris or Arch or even Gentoo or any of the BSDs.

I have not given up on macOS. On the contrary, I will get another Mac laptop.

It's a lot of work.
Thanks... Haha I've increased capacity and it should be back up now

Good point. Though my bigger point was that DDG has essentially always been dependent on Bing/Microsoft.

2016 is the year Yahoo was sold to Verizon. 2 years later, Verizon writes down $4.6B of the AOL Yahoo subsidiary. A year after that they sell Tumblr in a fire sale. Verizon stopped caring about their web media empire when they did the write down/sale too. Effectively throwing in the towel as a major web advertising hub even though they are likely still top 5 in the west after Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon. That’s peanuts to Verizon though.

I can’t imagine Verizon cares much about their deal with DDG. If Microsoft cared, it makes sense that they could have Verizon and Yahoo do what they want over lawsuit worries from DDG.

I’m being pedantic at this point and totally guessing with my assumptions. I admit the continuous praising of DDG on the web has gotten to me and likely making me feel and react this way.
AFAIK, the definition of processor hasn't changed. Oracle just changed the license and cut the price to be competitive with other support offerings.
Indeed. I've been hearing people crow on about this since Lion. That was 10 years ago. OS X might be macOS now, but it's still fundamentally the same OS.
I used to be very gungho on text editors (started my career with Sublime, moved to VSCode later), but I've turned the other way and use Jetbrains products now.

LSP is decent, but I've yet to see any languages with the depth and quality of Jetbrains IDE support, by a fairly large margin. I've had to fight VSCode settings many, many times in to world of Go, but Goland "just works" for the essentials - intellisense and code navigation is just so much better. Python and Typescript are probably the best-supported in VSCode, but they still don't meet the mark. Rule applies doubly so for languages that aren't strongly typed. Breakpoint debugging for code and tests is similarly hands off.

They add all sorts of ecosystem-specific know how to make the experience smooth, e.g. Rails, Rspec in RubyMine.

I still use command line tools for every other part of my workflows, e.g. Ripgrep, git, dependency management, but I haven't found anything else that compares for coding with really excellent intellisense and code nav, other than Visual Studio proper for C#.
