That's why there's shell completion, and history search; then with practice, keyboard shortcuts as well; all vastly improve productivity.

I think a lot of people wrongly assume that GitHub is so "easy" that you don't actually have to spend any time to learn how to use it.

But that's not the case at all.

Moreover, GitHub has so many quirks, that most Enterprise shops don't use it internally for their own internal projects (unless they release said projects into OSS); so, when you work for any company that's not just a startup, you likely have to learn yet another set of tools. And again if you switch the company.

Compare this with email. As the original article reveals, Linux and OpenBSD happen to have almost entirely identical workflows for patch submission, which is actually REALLY weird, considering that the two projects have entirely different histories, methodology, and use entirely different revision control systems, where OpenBSD still uses CVS, yet Linus Torvalds hated CVS so much, I recall that he refused to use it even before Git was ready and the licences for the predecessor system have already been withdrawn (I recall he hated CVS so much he simply used plain patches or tarballs).
I switched to a self-hosted (on AWS) inspircd instance with The Lounge running in front of it for friends earlier this year. It’s nice. The biggest issue was getting a native-like experience on iOS and Android phones, and discovering that safari doesn’t support notifications.
Interesting info. Thanks!

By the way, whatever happened with Lockitron? I backed it in 2012 and the device I received never really worked. Reached out and was told there was a fix coming but nothing ever happened. I've never backed any sort of crowdfunding since.
Water may have been inherited from material similar to enstatite chondrite meteo

I haven't tallied all the costs...nor do I want to.

The media server is an 2U HP G8 DL380P with the 12LFF drive cage. I run Xpenology (synology hacked to run on other hardware). That allows me to run Plex and Docker along with some auto backup stuff from my other computers (also serves as a central point for VM images to roll out to my computers depending on which I am using that week). I was incorrect about the RAM, this server is only 48GB since Xpenology can't use it all. Server has dual E5-2440s.

The other server/NVR is a 1U HP G8 DL380e that has a 4LFF drive cage. Came with the 4x2TB setup already and it's running Ubuntu server 20.04. Zoneminder is a great software package and easily handles my 8 1080P or better PoE cameras around my house/shop. I think it was also ~$250 on ebay...with another $50-60 in RAM from eBay (Zoneminder does a lot of caching in RAM for prior to recording movement detection). This machine sports 192GB of RAM and dual E5-2650s.
Definitely one of those 'cool product, and I'll be happy to buy it when it ships, but am declining to preorder' scenarios.
So for the just under the price of a used 4-5 year old server you can get that case...not really practical for someone on a budget.
Where is the tolerance?
I'm a native English speaker and I didn't get what their problem with it was either. I've never heard anyone voice such an objection to using the word outside of this thread. Bizarre reasoning imo.

We don't know the real herd immunity threshold. It had been previously estimated at about 70%. However daily average deaths in Sweden are now down near zero even though there are minimal pandemic control measures, and seroprevalence studies have indicated an exposure rate probably below 20%. So what accounts for the current situation?

“We Appreciate You Guys. We Really Do.”
'In video footage taken before the shooting began on Tuesday night, Rittenhouse and a few other men carrying weapons and wearing tactical vests strapped to their chest can be seen gathered in the darkness near a cluster of armored police vehicles. One officer, coming in fuzzy over a loudspeaker, orders protesters to disperse. At the same time, another officer tosses water bottles to Rittenhouse and his compatriots. “We appreciate you guys,” he says. “We really do.”'

I'm not the person you're responding to, but I think there is a difference between positive and negative posts in this context.

Negativity is inherently bad. There is a place for it, of course, but when it's off-topic it's especially unwelcome in my opinion. And programming language discussion already has far too much negativity.
That’s odd... I’m seeing mostly Biden/Harris ads. Could be the algos?
Sorry but it's even more insulting to expect someone to cater to a person's ignorance
+1. For anyone, watch the movie "Yes man", with Jim Carrey. It's a run of the mile chick flick, but the bit about banks, which is fairly at beginning, it portraits the "we prefer to say NO" policy of banks very accurate.

I want a search engine that is optimized for completing my task and leaving quickly rather than ever-increasing engagement. When I search for something and its not there I don't want pages of unrelated-but-popular garbage, I just want to see a 'no' so I can move on.
On one of the circular courses you could literally duct-tape the controller into the appropriate positions to grind out wins with one of the faster cars. Not a lot of points for these races but if you could set it and forget it. Is that hard-work or long-work? :)

That might be true now but historically kings led armies into war, and had to be skilled enough to fight.

I showed this to my friends at work and one of them replied that she used a Rocketbook throughout grad school, suggested I check that out as a way of upgrading my note taking. Their products look very different from this but they’re also a fraction of the price with similar value proposition where basic note-taking is concerned. Anyone have any experience with them? This is a field I know nothing about.

Regarding the reMarkable, I’d probably be open to it if reviews indicated it was a premium eReader in addition to everything else.
While I don't think it's likely, it's not hard to conceive a scenario where the NIC purposely weakens the security for attackers in the know.

Purely theoretical (and I'm not a crypto guy, so please do correct me if this is nonsense), but imagine a scheme whereby the IV is chosen to be the first few bytes of the private key xor the port tuple.

This could reduce the difficulty of brute forcing the key, and no extra traffic need be generated - we already know that the NSA operates passive observers, and has even placed such systems inside corporate networks in the past.

EDIT: As to why they'd do this instead of getting a gag order - because they can? Because there's less oversight? Safest to assume that any technical capability will be abused sooner or later.
I don’t even need access. Just need verified MLPerf results.
An API for USD centrally controlled by the Treasury? Kiss your financial freedom goodbye. You gotta demand it be distributed blockchains or you'll be living in chains.
I would be wary of what you find in this search, especially here. Medicine and healthcare is hard, and novel treatments are frequent, but rarely actually work, and can cause significant harm. That’s why there are multiphase trials (1-3) and even then significant harm can slip through the net.
From what I can see from a quick skim, this is very much still in trials (phase 1 at that) and not an accepted treatment. Why pursue an unproven treatment instead of the current standard? TAVI and surgical valve replacement are both suitable treatments for the majority.

I guess I just don’t see the reason for pursuing a treatment option outside of what is recommended by a specialist who has assessed the person in question.
I wonder whether the division falls along the lines of people who have vs. have not played D&D.
Correct. This is SOP during a pandemic. It's something that happens sometimes when we live in a society and are faced with a disease with chance of permanent injury or death and no cure.

In some cultures, a person who was sick had to live outside of town and yell "UNCLEAN!" to warn the uninfected if they had a transmissible disease. And hell, this country exiled Typhoid Mary to a relatively small island for the protection of everybody else. This disease isn't quite infectious enough to necessitate that, but a piece of cloth is a pretty simple and effective compromise until we have widely distributed efficient enough testing to know with some certainty in a short timeframe whether a person is infected or not.

If it's too much a burden to bear, you can always remove yourself from the presence of mainstream society until such testing is available.
> The CAD systems understand cloth physics quite well now.

Is this actually true?

Energy distribution in draping cloth is a stiff differential equation system with multiple time constants--a very difficult system to simulate.

We have some decent heuristics that kinda make things work. (The pictures from the link you provided look like those heuristics to my eye). And in fashion they may actually be "good enough".

But I haven't seen a genuine advance in computer science/graphics for simulating realistic cloth other than "stupid amounts of compute". I'm willing to be corrected if somebody has references.

Edit: Looking at this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly7UzwB6MbU&feature=youtu.be

Heuristics with low-density point cloud are in operation--which, as I point out, may actually be fine for fashion.
The information can still be useful to citizens to know how police are trained to react and why they may ask you to do specific things.

Do you have one that's targeted to citizens and covers the same concepts minus the LEO-specific aspects? Most of the ones I've seen only cover specific subsets of the topics.
As always, we can look to android to see how it would go. An the answer is nothing happens, the game streaming services work fine. Apple is purely trying to avoid losing profit on out of store transactions.
Nowhere in the linked post does it mention that Facebook explicitly receive "a cut", nor is that how it works (at least on Instagram). Sure, Facebook as an opt-in label for sponsored content that adds extra functionality (and helps with FTC compliance) but most sponsored influencer content on Instagram doesn't use these tools.
Marrying MongoDB Atlas and AWS Lambda
As a payment processing fintech builder for several decades the many comments about diversifying across processors is correct. The misunderstanding here for many may be that knowledgeable business owners (merchants) always have more than one processing account each with a different entity holding the risk, think multiple banks. Having multiple processors, aside from the point of this question, directly relates to up time and availability of which nearly all rely on the "middleman" - Have a backup! However problem businesses and their business owners that get caught being nefarious earn a permanent place on the card brands "list" that forbids them from taking card payments in the future. An individual business can have multiple merchant accounts and as with anything else once one understands how a system works it can then be manipulated to fit ones need.
Did you not think 'sword'? Why was your first impression a non-existent word rather than the real one that already exists?
I think long term this isn't really a tradeoff. Starlink exists to fund SpaceX ventures designed to significantly drop the costs of lifting bulk mass to space. That translates to even cheaper missions, which means space-based astronomy can become affordable.

What is a loss of some percentage of astronomical observations today, if it means putting a telescope on the backside of the Moon in 20 years, or a ridiculously large "virtual telescope" via a satellite constellation doing interferometry?
I thought I would like using an ereader to read PDFs but the touch screen (on this kobo) actually really bothered me; I always felt like I had to be very careful where I put my fingers and was always accidentally turning pages.

Do you find that bothers you, or can you just hold it like a notebook?
Do you see “Stop seeing this ad”? I’m not and that’s what bothering me.
The particularly fascinating aspect of this I haven't seen discussed is that every other ad I've ever seen on Youtube has a "stop showing me this" option. Trump ads do not. I had no idea that "feature" could be disabled with a high enough sale.

I've stopped using the Youtube app on my iPad since I have no way of blocking ads there (probably what's going to get me to finally set up a Pi Hole).
This is all news to the medical profession. They have always and are trained to deal with novel situations by trying treatments based on inferring likely response based in symptoms.
I think your use of 'jarring' is appropriate. There's nothing that's actually wrong with the word--it's type of sword, we're all fine. On the other hand, that may not be worth the risk, compared to other words in a similar vein: scimitar or falchion or something.

Either way, this is a super cool project. You have to love it when someone puts their mind to it and produces something of this quality as open-source. I'm especially interested to see if this might kickstart some of the Rust efforts around GPGPU, which is currently so-so, since a cross-platform solution there seems like it would definitely be a benefit for this kind of project.
Oblivion. Characters get better at a skill when they "use" that skill.

Coming from UnrealTournament I hated the sluggish movement and jumping. I created a keyboard macro to run in a circle, jump a few times. I edited the macro script to do this for hours.

After a night of sleep I came back to a character that had leveled up a few times! Cool!

And now all the creatures had leveled up.

And all I could do was run away and jump because my combat skills were useless...
Also, so much of the junk mail I get now is notifications from products and services I used for a while and stopped using later. I'm sure every vendor thinks their product or service announcements are meaningful and worthwhile. But ultimately the bulk of them are just pleas to get me back on their service/ site.

So now I avoid dropping my email when I can avoid it. Passing it out to try a new product just doesn't cross that bar.

This is how ad's work.. I'm sick of it as well, but CNN, NBC, CNBC, etc. etc. similarly spam ads.

Kinda strange this is on HN to be honest.

I've had plenty of ads I couldn't skip before, not really sure how that's determined or if I was in an experimental group or not.
Well, first of all, keeping lithium batteries at 100% is hard on them, to the point where some devices lie to you about 100%. So staying at 75% and then topping up when it's cheap might not be the worst thing. The big deal would be is that you'd have to have a way to communicate with your car that you're going on a road trip Saturday 7:30 am/ in three hours and the battery better be all the way full by then or else.

I saw some pundit conversations about Battery Day recently. There's some speculation that a 'million mile battery' may be coming due to union of a few different complementary improvements to the battery design and manufacture.

If your battery can survive four times as many discharge cycles as the drive train, hooking back into the grid isn't so bad as long as your car doesn't conk out 10 miles shy of Grandma's house.
Let me see if I understand. A french author should be careful about using this french word on its project because, if someone in the US mispronounce it, it sounds like something that's reprehensible?

I hope I'm not misrepresenting your argument, but the way I understood it sounds very US-centered.
Yes for any given tax policy proposal you can always find one economist who supports it and another who opposes it. Does that tell us anything useful?

> But nuclear power plants? Completely uncorrelated. If each one produces power 85% of the time, then you need two, and you'll almost always have power.

Not really true. French nuclear output drops every time there's a European heatwave. It used to be the only time that the cross-channel link rank backwards (UK powering France).

I think France responded to this in the context of climate change by changing the protection standards for their rivers?

Of course. A vision goes far beyond having a product roadmap.

Apple's vision (presumably) is about projecting a world where consumer electronics are well designed, better integrated in people's lives, beautiful, enjoyable, allow more creativity (bicycle for the mind), and so on.
There used to be a thing called 'Basicode' [1], one of the first attempts to create a cross-platform language for microcomputers. Basicode consisted of the programming language itself which was a rather limited dialect of BASIC, a number of transcoders from this basicode BASIC dialect to the native BASIC versions for several microcomputers and - which is what made me think of it - a universal audio data transmission standard which was used to transmit Basicode programs over the aether to users. Basicode was started in the Netherlands by the 'Hobbyscooop' radio show but gained popularity elsewhere as well, notably also in the former German Democratic Republic. I still have the original Basicode book somewhere in a box in the barn, along with the Commodore 64 which I used it with. To be honest I quickly got bored with Basicode since the programs received through the radio were rather underwhelming compared to what I could make the thing do myself by programming it in assembly (6502 might be limited but it is a good starting architecture for budding assembly programmers).

It's not that LFU is superior to LRU or the reverse.

The best of both worlds is to use LRFU.
Now a 0(1) LRFU implementation would be nice to see.
Also, no talk on this blog about the constant factor I believe

After a code search on github, gecko, chromium and Linux have zero LFU despite having tons of LRUs.
And zero LRFU too.
So it seems that browsers and OS engeeners should learn better cache algorithms, it could allow huge performance gains!

I’m 28, and I don’t know how to use most apps and websites anymore, and I’m a web developer. My intro to computers was when I was 6 years old, and I was trying to install games on Windows 95 in a language I didn’t understand(English). The consistency of the layouts was the only thing that made that work. So many of my childhood experiences with computers relied on consistent spatial representations. Kids seem to do just fine learning all these unique UI’s, but I can’t help but feel like there’s a loss of “general computing capability”, for lack of a better term?
I had not heard of krypton; read over the website based on your suggestion and got excited, but my excitement turned to disappointment when I saw that neither the iOS nor android apps have been updated in nearly 2 years.

A few months back I tried - and failed - to write a basic 2d physics engine for my JS canvas library. Before then, I tried to use existing JS physics engines with the library ... but none of them integrated nicely; the closest I got to making something useful was with Matter.js (see Codepen demo[1]).

Rapier has a WASM version, and JS bindings. I'm already looking forward to see if I can get the engine working with my code. Is there a JS-focussed community around Rapier where I can ask questions if I get stuck?
