>But maybe Apple consumers will?

I dont think that is likely. Outside of tech circle, most have never even touched a USB-C Cable. Especially those only uses iPhone, and not iPad or Mac. There are 1 Billion iPhone users, and only 100M Mac users ( And not every Mac users has a USB-C Mac ).

Not saying it is a bad thing. Most would already have a USB-A to Lightning Cable along with Charger so this doesn't matter. USB4 will be USB-C only anyway, but the move is certainly unApple as they tend to plan this in the very long run. Like including a USB-C 5W Charger for a few years before completely dropping it.
Well, this is actually an improvement compared to what happened before:

They are being punished for Ukraine, but it's always the people that suffers from trade sanctions. Look at Russia's GDP per capita graph: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?location...

Russia had a GDP per capita of $16,007 in 2013. In 2014 Russia annexed Crimea. In 2016 Russia's GDP per capita was $8,745. This drop was twice as great as the 2008 economic crisis. It has recovered from it somewhat, but it'll take time to get back up again. Keep in mind though that other countries did have a dip in GDP per capita in 2015 as well, but nowhere near the same level as Russia.

GDP per capita PPP did drop as well. More than after the 2008 crisis, but they have recovered from it by now.

It definitely seems like Russia is economically in trouble. How much of this is from sanctions is hard to tell though.
When you sign up for a brokerage account, you select whether you want a “cash” or “margin” account. In a margin account, the brokerage essentially loans you the money until the sale clears.

Day traders use margin accounts.

My account was hijacked somehow, they changed the email address associated with it.
Nobody has the password for the account or tried to login into the gmail from a different device.

Suddenly I couldn't login.

I contacted support and they're saying that a different email address is linked to it. I sent them screenshots of their own emails with my trainer name and email address together, but they said they couldn't help me . I know what is the new gmail address as it's the same as the trainer nickname.

It's not possible as I didn't change it. I don't know how it's possible.

I can only suspect what happened.

My password is not easy to guess, no real words.

No Google security alerts about a new device accessing my email address.

My 10 yo son is very upset about it.

Please let me know if you can help me.

I don't understand your confusion.

Consider, system A has a float in memory, and wants to send it to system B. System A has no knowledge of how system B stores floats, whether it's big-endian or little-endian, how many bits of precision it uses, etc.

It might also be that the only method of transmitting information is via a text encoding ... perhaps JSON, perhaps something else.

So system A "prints" the float, converts it to a string, and sends that. It's even useful because it can be inspected "by eye" on the way through.

Now system B receives the string and converts it to a float.

All this sort of thing happens in the real world, and is sometimes dictated by the original designs of the system, and sometimes it's specified by customers that this is how it has to work.

Does that help you to understand the original comment?

I've been playing with writing various shell (explorer.exe as the desktop) replacements, on and off, over the years.

It's still definitely doable on Windows 10, but a little bit harder. For example, enumerating open windows is little bit more complex now due to the nested way Windows reports them. Also, a fair amount of what you'd think would be part of explorer.exe (as the desktop) now run as their own apps - you have to disable them as well so as not get conflicts with your replacements.

But in short, any replacement shell written in the XP/7 era will probably not work that well under Windows 10 due to the under-the-bonnet changes.

For non Windows people:

In the Windows registry there is an attribute that defines the 'shell' that loads after you login. By default it's explorer.exe. Explorer.exe looks to see if it's the only copy running, and runs in 'desktop mode' - creating the taskbar, putting icons on the desktop, and reacting to system-wide keypresses and mouse clicks. Because MS called the registry attribute 'shell' this is what Windows Devs call the 'desktop'. By contrast the command line prompt is referred to (incorrectly) as the console.

Launching further copies explorer.exe results in only the File Browser part of it appearing.
I really like the design. Well done!

If you let Github become a single point of failure, maybe you are using git wrong? It's named "Distributed version-control" for a reason.

I don't know about databases but if that decimal is the decimal I know of, it is not a floating point number.

In decimal you specify how many bits will be used for decimal & non-decimal parts. If your unsigned decimal has 1 bit for non-decimal and 1 bit for decimal, then it can only store: 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5. 1 bit for non-decimal gives you either 0 or 1 and 1 bit for decimal gives you .0 or .5. In many ways a decimal is just an integer, except the printing & some math operations being different

In floating point, you are also storing "exponent" which represents where the point goes. So the point actually "floats" depending on value of this exponent while in fixed point the point is fixed (and in previous example, the point is always in between those two bits. The implementation is a bit harder to explain, you can check it here: https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~eedwards/compsys/float/
The inverted T model M, IIRC, was introduced in the 3151 terminal. Some time later, the RT/PC also had it. Even though they had the layout that has since dominated the industry, none of these had a PS/2 connector, since the PS/2 was only introduced in 1987.
Non-NT Windows didn't support memory protection. That's the main reason why it was much more stable. Programming on Windows 98 was a nightmare. If you, for example, went too far with your `i++` you could've crashed the system.
Don't bother, most of the people with an interest in discussing Russia have not one iota of understanding of the difference between 'invading' a country and 'annexing' it, or they choose to willingly conflate the two since it works against American's interest in this discussion:

Russia annexed Crimea.

America invaded Iraq.
> I do not understand why would you ever round trip floats through text.

There are many, many occasions in the real world where this is necessary ... I've dealt with it multiple times. When done carefully and with appropriate knowledge of the underlying systems it's not a problem.

But just because you've never done, that doesn't mean it's the wrong thing to be doing.

> if you really want to do that then you use a hexadecimal float representation

There are combinations of systems where that won't work.

Wow, that's stark. I count 6 in April-June (2 major outages) and only 1 in January-March (0 major outages.

I wonder if COVID has affected this somehow. Anecdotally I've heard of at least one other ~peer company with a large rise in incidents/outages since April.

Strange since both companies previously had a strong culture of remote work (maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of eng was remote) going into the pandemic, so I'd be quite surprised if all-WFH contributed somehow...

Or perhaps, choosing the right tool can reveal that certain, select problems are not actually that hard.

And perhaps, certain other problems, like computational geometry, are in fact just really fucking hard, no matter how you express them. Having some familiarity with the space, where the only really quality implementations are a massive GPL research code base in C++ (CGAL) and commercial C Libraries (Parasolid, SMLib), I lean towards this view.

I am always looking for a better editing experience, who knows what I might be missing.

Yet, after visiting Goyo's github, reading the README, looking about, I still have zero idea what this plugin does.

How/what is made distraction free, by this plugin? How is vim distracting prior to its use?

A shout out to all, in a thread where the word umwelt is used... actually explain to others, what your code is actually for.

Not just some marketish, slogany statement such as "Distraction-free writing in Vim".

(Some might say, hey.. just look at the code. Naw. I have better things to do, than delve that far into a whim. I don't have the time. Literally, not to spend on all the quick looks I might take as such links. Say what your stuff is, people. Don't make it a mystery...)

Abnry, may I ask, what you use this plugin for?
It's not a real paywall - if you hit the (fairly small) 'no thanks' button the modal goes away without registration. Bit annoying, though.
It looks alien, but in reality looks like a standard image of cytoskeleton, a normal part of any cell that is revealed when you use the appropriate dye techniques. Most of the time we forget that there is a the spiderweb system of tubulin rods supporting the cells.

... So I'm [temptatively] sceptic at this moment. Maybe the viruses spread using the tubulin roads, but this does not mean that had created it. Those spikes could be an artifact by the dye process of course.
They're still averaging 99.81% up-time over the last three months. This means they have been down for a total of 4 hours out of 90 days. I don't think it's all that concerning.
I don't think the explanation "Apple fears USB C/USB PD will fry devices" fits the facts.

For one thing, this article claims Apple will ship a Lightning to USB-C cable - so the phone will need to accept whatever voltages that come out of USB C chargers anyway.

Second, Apple have adopted USB C on the Macbook - which would make no sense if they were scared of USB C frying devices. And they didn't go in cautiously on the macbook: They were one of the earliest adopters, and they dropped magsafe and USB A as they did it.

So I'm with Cthulhu_ - I don't see any good reason for Apple to stick with Lightning, except licensing fees.
Not counting the redesign, there haven't been "sparkly" features. Sparkly features are the kinds of things the old management used to let engineers have free reign to implement.

Github pre-Microsoft was rudderless. They were more prone to implementing silly 3d model diff tools and things instead of supporting enterprise features or building powerful CI/CD tools and automation.

New Github is on the right track.

Depends on the market. The following ones have definitely seen open source win:

Servers (as mentioned, various Linux distributions with things like Apache also being open source on top of that)

CMS systems (WordPress, Drupal, Magento, MediaWiki et al)

Programming Languages (virtually no one pays for one anymore)

Source control (Git)

Web browsers

These are dubious though:

Mobile (Android is open source, but iOS still holds a decent percentage of the market)

Enterprise software

And I don't think the gaming world has been won by open source software just yet. I don't see Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Valve open sourcing their dev kits/OS software/firmware/whatever, and those companies dominate most of the market.
Or you could think of it as the US helping (some of) its NATO allies in Europe. Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have been vocally against Nord Stream 2.

I have the EAP245, which is 3x3 and was only slightly more expensive than the EAP225 in my country. I'm pretty happy with it and it's far better than what my ISP provided. It supports beam forming, band steering, and DFS channels.

Personal value systems.

Today's god money is, in my humble opinion, such a poor substitute for the other wealths of this planet, time being possibly the most valuable thing we have.

It is possible, and, for me, completely logical to wish to find some way out of the modern work trap. The HN crowd being startup minded is focused on one way: make a bunch of money in order to trade it for time somewhere down the road. A risky path, to say the least.

There is another path -- To figure out a way to provide for your needs without a dependence on state backed currency. This entials an entirely different line of work, but one that can be immensely beneficial, both to sanity and to resilancy.
If you had your core needs of housing, food, and transportation met, would you be able to curtail your manufactured "need" for consumerism and enter a life of spending the rest of your life figuring out what to do with your time, hopefully leaving a postive legacy?
What I don't get is how they can be down for hours on end. If I make a deploy that turns out to be buggy, I'll roll my site back to a stable previous version within minutes. Sure, that's not always possible if I've made incompatible database schema changes, but in my experience those are very, very rare (i.e. I almost always add db columns, and only rarely delete or rename columns - and when I do, I do so after those columns haven't been in use for a while).
Types of Arduino Memories You Should Know Today
Browsing through the status page makes me wonder how they manage to have issues like this so frequently. Are there publicly available post-mortems for previous incidents? From a first glance I can't find any on the status page.

Having an electronics engineering background, my personal pet theory is that the convoluted layers upon layers of automagic container management, load balancing and scaling mechanisms act like nested control loops in respect to each other and sudden load increases (e.g. Monday morning load spike) cause the system to essentially produce a step response and it starts overshooting/oscillating. Just a thought tough.
Yes, you'll often get better results by transplanting earlier. You're missing the inverse control though.

> cases are growing exponentially again and deaths will follow.

The positive test number is not really connected to anything. The number of actual infections is probably an order of magnitude greater than the number of positive tests. The only somewhat worthwhile testing number is the percentage of tests given that come up positive, and that's not great - testing was focused on at-risk of death, older people, and has now become more general, including younger people who have a comparable tiny risk of dangerous complications. The previous group have been completely isolated, and are generally more isolated, so shouldn't be spreading the virus very quickly. You'd expect a higher proportion of positive tests if tests were being expanded to a younger, more social distance violating population. You wouldn't expect that to be an indicator of a significantly higher number of deaths or complications, because the rise is in people who are the least likely to have them, and is possibly an artifact of less-restrictive selection criteria for testing.

I don't know anyone under 50 that has been tested (who weren't horribly sick) and my 89 year old grandparents were just tested for a second time.

Social distancing restrictions being lifted also has a greater effect on younger people than older people, who frequently have been completely left out of that. My grandparents have been in the same room for nearly four months, and plenty of people that age are socially isolated at the best of times. Young people have been on protests, or coronavirus truthers testing their "strong immune systems" at bars and other social get-togethers.

The death rate is at a fifth of what it was at peak. I'm currently as social distanced as I ever was (because I am risk averse), but I do not understand the insistence that the coronavirus threat is currently getting worse, especially since it seems to come with a deemphasis on the death/hospitalization numbers and an exaggeration of the precision of the cumulative absolute positive test as an indicator. It seems entirely political.

George Floyd was murdered over a month ago, with massive attendant protests, and death rates are lower than they've ever been.

If it's just testing, why are hospitalizations up dramatically?

I keep hearing the poverty argument and it seems baseless to me. Nothing is 100%, so I acknowledge all of these scenarios are hypothetical. Still, we're trading deaths that are very hypothetical for deaths that we understand relatively well.

If you're really concerned about the poor, why not lead with solutions for that (e.g. increase funding for food banks, homeless shelters, and school lunches), instead of just tearing down solutions for COVID?

I really wish there was an option to decouple the core git functionality from the 'fancy' stuff (PRs, actions, issues) etc. When your CI pipeline runs directly from your git repository, not being able to commit/merge means you cannot release to production.

For binary artifacts, you can get around dependencies on a single provider by mirroring, but because git is mutable, you can't just mirror the repo and allow changes there, because you need the same permissions, ssh keys etc. for the repositories and because changes will need to be synced back to the source repository. You might as well not use Github in the first place and self-host (with all the problems that entails).

As far as I know, none of the major git providers offer this - I've experienced outages with GitLab, Bitbucket and GitHub that all affected the production environment (luckily, it's never been critical so far).
Few people have a debt to repay other than their bank perhaps. Reparations are either done immediately after a conflict or they should be ignored. Everyone is free to grant leniency to groups affected by historic injustices, but it cannot become policy. If it does, you will get lines of conflict that reinforces the fault lines, obviously. I say obviously, but apparently it isn't.

Imaging that being part in political discourse. Some pretty naive proposition for reparations would ensure a never ending conflict. Black and white people fighting over resources. Sure, that would be a good idea... It isn't far off if some people have the impression the financial industry wants to start a race war.

Shitty article is also behind a paywal. I think financial times would have some debt to repay here...

edit: Of course the public funding these propositions might generate are of interest here too. Wouldn't want to get those to needy people...
