It's on the way. Not done just yet. TL;DR: watch this page: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/wiki/Untrusted-device...

Short history:

There was 1 attempt to do it which ended with nothing

https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/109

https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/pull/4331

Then there was a follow-up PR (which I was downright giddy to discover): https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/pull/6214

That PR was just closed yesterday in favor of https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/pull/6727 which is where the current flame of hope burns.

That's the entire diversity/inclusion in a nutshell. None of this has been scientifically verified and the basic premise is in contradiction with what we know about humans. But bringing this up anywhere where your name is visible is liable to get you cancelled.

They are doing the same as Spotify and Netflix apps. Payment is done outside the app.
1) Let’s take the latest amount of active steam players per month, which is 90MM. That is a number for 2019, I will assume that it grew a little per the usual percentage it does (accounting for Covid) to 100MM. 4% is 4MM.

2) Macbook Pro & Macbook Air have a total share of 78%. I’m ignoring other models, since we are talking about ARM on notebooks, not towers. That brings the number of players to 3,1MM

3) We can assume that most people still rock macbooks since 2012. But let’s start counting from 2013.
(We don’t have unit sales, but only the total amount, so I work with the amount that most websites quote) Apple, on average, sells 18MM Macs per fiscal year.
Till today, that is 135MM Macs the market.

4) We need to estimate the amount of Macbooks vs Macs, but I cannot find a single stat on this. I’m gonna pull this out of my ass and say that it’s around 90%. The Macs have always been supplemental to Macbooks and Apple has been “forgetting” about them a lot. This brings the total to 121,5MM

5) That is 2,56% of people who game on Macbook. I would say Apple doesn’t care about ~3%. This stat also doesn’t account for hardcore vs casual players. Eq. Those who won’t care vs those who will switch platforms.
Excuse me, it isn't a real frontend without a service worker and offline capabilities.

"porting [webrtc-audio-processing] to Rust in the near-term is not likely (it's around 80k lines of C and C++ code)."

That's just one of their dependencies. It's possible to know every line without rewriting. And it's possible to rewrite and still not know every line.

They seem to strike a reasonable balance.
Text user interfaces do have mouse support, though it has to be enabled by the running application (overriding the default use of mouse for copy/paste). `gpm` even gives you support in the text-only console. And it should work over a remote SSH connection.

It's not literally as low as the risk of falling victim to a terror attack in Europe, but statistically the risk is pretty much negligible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_th...

Of course, morally the risk is unacceptable. I would consider one school shooting a year too high. Let alone the 17 deaths due to guns in schools in 2019.

And as was pointed out previously, the security theater (shooter drills, etc) are traumatizing. I am appalled at this aspect of America.

But, despite what you see on the news, most Americans are not exposed to guns on any kind of a regular basis.

As far the school deaths, they are appalling but I am sure many more children die each year due to asthma attacks, food allergies, etc. I do not excuse our gun situation but it should be viewed in perspective. Again, I do agree that one gun death is too many.

> The point is that risk = higher return is an oversimplification. What that risk means is a significant chance of a much lower return.

Well yes. This is exactly why higher risk generates higher EV in an efficient market. Because of the significant chance of lower returns.

> So if a basket of risky assets predictably overperforms... it isn’t actually that risky

Depends on your time horizon. The S&P 500 predictably generates higher returns than T-Bills, over a 100-year time horizon. But it is still very risky to a 70 year old retired pensioner. This risk is why the S&P 500 generates higher average returns than T-Bills
People are perfectly free to comment on or criticize relationships or lack of relationships occurring within the "free market".

Google's dominant position in the online advertising industry is allowing them to influence political opinions and they are doing so in favor of mainstream media. That seems worth discussing to me.
That sounds like a lot of cards.
It may be, but that's kind of out of the scope of what I do with my phone.
They are doing exactly the same as many other apps (Netflix, Spotify and other Email apps like Spark), even their other app (Basecamp) which has been on the store for 7 years!

Too few where needed is a product of laws. Most people have no idea what makes a quality house and so pick the wrong things to focus on. Codes don't allow junk houses, and energy efficiency is pretty high - what counts as a passive house in some areas is too poorly insulated for the northern US code.

Wait, isn't this the other way around? Why would molecules be less tightly bound when a string is compressed? They're all being pushed closer together.
I'm not sure about this recommendation. It seems to be unscientific spiritual / new age 'negative energy' type stuff. If you like that, go for it. Otherwise, avoid.
If you consider that owning a real dog costs roughly 30000$ for 10 years, this isn't that expensive. Of course, the price will drop considerably within the next few years and AI will improve a lot, so in 15 years it may be really common to own a robot dog. Real dogs will be for rich people.

Near. Exist some fancy features that are not present, but the practical side is covered...
And sorry for another comment. Your dismissive comments were so loaded there's alot to unpack here to properly address it instead of just letting you get away with this passively:

I never said I had to use the app or wanted to use it. I have been reading hacker news since 2010 and I wouldn't hesitate to say I've read it atleast everyday and used to be mildly addicted to it. I'm very familiar with the demographics of HN and that it is male dominated in addition to some large scale misogyny that exists on the site (i.e. there are open incel groups who chat in comments here often for example/no presumptions being made on my end, they are self proclaimed on the site) and I was highlighting that the creator might want to advertise in places with a more diverse demographic than HN.

I've been an engineer since 2012 and started college in Electrical Engineering in 2008 and went to a school that was 23% female and 6% female in my engineering department (as opposed to the tech school overall) and I can't assume you these statistics donot lend themselves well to an environment where it is easy for women to casually make friends with guys, if anything I go out of my way to live in urban areas where I can have a more diverse set if friends, whether it be males who are more likely to view me as a friend than the first girl they've interacted with in months, or just females or just people who are not so dismissive of women in general, and I was letting the creator know I would not go out of my way to reintroduce myself to a male dominated community to make casual friends with people, and this isn't the best place to bootstrap a userbase where the question set leans towards stacking the already majority make population on here with a set of questions that can easily exploit emotional vulnerabilities of women.

It's not that women can't be crappy as well, it's that crime statistics also lend themselves in the direction of being male dominated, not to mention just not being a very inviting place for females.

If the goal is to make friends, I'd rather do so in an environment that is closer to 50/50 ratio which for me so far in life has basically been anywhere I can get outside of my industry to have friends both make and female, and I'm much better off for it.

Your comments as presumatory. I never felt forced to use it, I was just saying I wouldn't want to and why. To have the attitude of saying oh if you don't like the all white male environment then get out, noone said you had to be here is a very white male hacker news thing to say, but tell me more how there's no women in STEM because of them and not because of that kind of piss poor attitude you have there.
I am glad contracts are being dropped. It was very confusing indeed. Thanks for listening to the community.
The new Macbook Air is a very different computer. Much larger and thicker, even compared to the 11" Air that was discontinued.
Apparently git’s usage of “master” originates with bitkeeper, which did actually use the term in a master/slave context.
This is probably reflective of associating with people in technology and/or idealists, but two assumptions about business culture were a surprise to me.

1. Business culture thinks scale doesn't matter. Commentators writers talking about tech seem to get that it does (Stratechery, etc).

2. That faith in managers means the manager can just blame employees, in contrast to the idea that failures should typically be examined in terms of the whole system (Deming). This one was not surprising per se, since managers scapegoating employees is a super common phenomenon. But I would not have thought it was part of managerialism per se.
Software developer jobs pay so well, many programmers don't know what to do other than that. I feel need of disengagement with laptop so many times but damn I don't know any other thing to pay bills. Also there is always fear of losing track of new tech and being jobless.
So you refuse to accept the fact, for which there is evidence[1], that in given time and place, courts ruled object code not to be copyrightable, and furthermore it was not a solitary ruling and it was consistent with the rules of law at the time, so you call the ruling spectacularly ridiculous.

You may call it an argument. I may then argue by refusing to accept it.

When one comes into existence? You bet. Manufacturing capabilities are much closer to the home than they've ever been before. You had the big actors at the forefront dominating the market for so long because you needed to be cutting edge to survive. Now? Hell, a god blessed RaspberryPi represents near State-of-the-Art performance for a large portion of my childhood needs. In terms of possibilities that can be realized on the cheap, we're at an inflection point where the bigger, faster processor in 6 months costs more than 6 months of figuring out how to use what you've got.

Knowing how to use something is becoming more productive than externalizing that knowledge and letting someone else distill it for you. I see a future driving in the direction of retraction and a pruning of inefficiency to back off of just shoveling more and more into wasteful wank, and getting back to building what you need and taking it from there.

Then again, most of my social circles have been make-do types, so maybe I am in a bubble. I certainly know the more cosmopolitanly inclined infrequently think about things like repurposing or fixing things. I'm praying that'll change and doing everything I can to instill a passion for knowing how thing's work, and caring about how it's made in the next generation, if only because no one ever was interested in being frank with me about all the decisions the market decided to make for me about what parts of my life I should and should not have access to.

I try to get them to pay attention to all the things people don't say, bexause that tends to be at the root of so much of the shit and wrongness in the world we're inhabiting.
> Unless you are saying you had a long-term low pollution experience there, which I think is impossible.

Over a year of anecdotal data using my own senses, which I consider extremely sensitive to allergens.

Maybe some pollution data will indicate otherwise? It's certainly no rural Kansas, and I bet industrial hot spots in Taiwan suffer (like near TPE), but yea I felt great in Taipei. Far better than most Asian cities, perhaps comparable to Tokyo.
Yes. That's not my question. Are you saying drug trials don't cover such costs and that this is standard? Because that's the pitch the company is making and it sounds odd

> We put the patient in the driver’s seat before, during, and after a trial. Because it’s not just doctors who help build a healthier future. It’s patients. And it’s time to do right by them.

It sounds like they're saying, "patients are treated very badly and we're here to fix that problem". How bad is it to be in a drug trial currently? Are trial participants really treated with neglect? I don't understand what actual problem they're addressing.
True that. I was thinking the best-known living brother in the sciences.

Plus, I've met Brother Guy. He's really cool.

Bootstrap 5's first alpha released
Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages Vol. 4
As an experimentalist, other similar null searches are the search for proton decay, the search for fractional charge, the search for electric-dipole-moments (of electrons, neutrons, atoms, etc.), tests of lorentz symmetry, tests of the unitarity of the CKM matrix, the search for Majorana neutrinos, etc.

The lack of proton decay is first on that list for a reason. Nobody really knows why protons are so stable.
Mac on ARM – A few thoughts from the trenches
Use cases I could think of would include:

- litter collection in parks, beaches, and ravines

- job site tool delivery / mobile tool caddie

- mobile vending at music festivals if those ever happen again

- archaeological / mineral exploration

- wildlife conservation and monitoring

- strawberry, tomato and other low to the ground fruit picking

The quadruped cases are different from the bipedal cases.

The surveillance and security use cases aren't that interesting because to me those use cases are like the woodworking and electronics equivalents of clocks and ashtrays. You could train it to avoid people, and just be a wandering background sensor array for things like volatile chemicals in airport and public transport settings, etc.

Such interesting times we live in.
Don't take this hindsight for granted. Nobody would have said I was a future math PhD, and several of my teachers were quite convinced that I'd never amount to shit. I was a bad student, and got in trouble for all sorts of shit. Numerous teachers gave up on me very early in my education: my third grade teacher moved my desk to face the corner as a "permanent" punishment because I was disruptive. It was a collaborative effort between my parents and a few good teachers to even get me through high school, and I had no interest in higher education. It was only after a few years bored as fuck in web development that I started to wonder if I could make something more of myself, that I went back to school.
> The worst is that you procrastinate not only work but rather your own existence because you'll constantly attempt to catch up but just can't.

Idea/suggestion: How about the old "delete all your emails" trick: Sell everything you have. Quit your job. Move to another place.

Having said/suggested that, I've done this email trick a couple of times and while it works wonders short term - I stop worrying about those highlighted emails I should do something about that are getting older and older - I tend to just end up in the same situation later.

But, having moved around a couple of times, it also does work wonders, as long as you keep focus on the "new you" while everything's fresh.

AWS Lambda Now Supports Amazon Elastic File System
> That really doesn't make any sense. The bit depth provides for a dynamic range ... 16 bits is enough to go from "mosquito in the room" to "jackhammer right in your ear".

Dynamic range is not loudest sound / quitest sound ratio (as would one expect), but loudest sound / noise level ratio. Otherwise you would need to count additional bits to encode quietest sound with low enough quantization noise.

Threshold of hearing could be as low as -9 dB SPL, so one wound want noise level below that. Therefore with 96 dB dynamic range from 16 bits the loudest representable sound would be say 86 dB SPL. But symphonic orchestra music may have peaks way above 100 dB.
But they also don’t allow you to sign-up for a free tier in the app, which as far as I know, is also against the rules. My understanding is that if someone downloads the app from the store and can’t do anything but see a login page, it is a violation.
Maybe they deliberately provoked Apple, so they'd get rejected, so they could write about their outrage, so it'd get picked up by news sites, and they did this for marketing purposes?

Or maybe it really was just accidental, who knows. But it is certainly having that effect, intended or not.
These Are the World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers of 2020
Already seeing a lot of price increases on stuff like consumer electronics and electric bicycles. A lot of resellers are getting rich selling at 50% increased prices.

Right now the supply side is going to be scrambling to catch up for a while.
I am not convinced by the article. For one, I don't think beginners mind is necessarily superior to expert mind. After all, why would society value the expert more than the novice? Has anyone actually checked to see if experts don't have an even greater openness towards learning and novelty?

About giving up on projects and how the ego plays into that, I don't think in such black and white - giving up = bad, persevering = good. Sometimes you need to give up in order to find a better approach. There are reasons why this instinct is present in our species (something to do with the exploration exploitation trade-off). We can't paint over it with self help advice.

Comparing yourself to others is bad? Why? It's an evolutionary advantage to learn from the experiences of others. By doing comparisons you can calibrate your values. Competition is a great motivator. Having a row model can be fast way towards improvement. Comparison between peers is like a second order metric, first order metrics relying only on self.

The advice about not comparing yourself to others is useful only in a limited setting - where you devalue your accomplishments and have nothing to gain from it. But when comparison motivates you to improve, then it's actually not bad. Also when comparison prompts you to take action and avoid a crisis you could be spared a lot of suffering. Comparison can act like an alarm. Another function of comparison is to make groups more cohesive - if they form a common culture they can function better - so aligning oneself to the group can be beneficial for all.
The FDA forbids charging for any medication or medical device that isn't approved so medical trials are free by definition, but the Affordable Care Act requires health insurers to cover routine cost of care incurred during qualified trials. In a Phase I trial under medical supervision, for example, might not cost the patient's insurance anything but a Phase 3 trial for chemotherapy might cost a ton just to deal with side effects and drug administration.

As all things healthcare, it's complicated.
