Oh yes, I certainly have "shower ideas" and I usually actively cultivate them. Sometimes its actually in the shower but other times it's while I'm mowing grass. It happens enough that I've grown to depend on it and use it purposefully - "I can't figure this out so I'm going to not think about it and go mow grass."

The trick is you have to stop trying to solve the problem and just let your brain work on it in the background.
> that can run pretty much every widely available open source operating system.

That's just not true, though. Here's a git repo listing what works and doesn't work in Linux for all of the macbook pro models since 13,1 (released in 2016): https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

You'll notice that power management (suspend/resume) doesn't work for any model, wifi only works for a few select models, and support for audio is pretty spotty. If you buy Mac hardware, you're pretty much locked into MacOS if you want to have a reasonably acceptable experience.

BSD support is much, much, much worse--it basically doesn't work at all for any relatively recent model.
Looks cool, although I would expect usage stats or demographics at least. Or perhaps URLs of GIFs that have the same emotion.

As it stands, there isn't too much information on it and the smallest API tier probably has enough requests to fetch data about all emojis, save them in a JSON file and use that as your data source instead of the API.
> And with Facebook behind Quest, I consider Index to be cheaper - I'll take $999 any day over $299 + my data.

All that really means is you have enough disposable income that it's actually a decision worth even considering. For most people it's aimed at that's not the case.

This isn't Gmail for free vs some paid service for $5/mo, this is more than three times the cost for something that already costs multiple hundreds of dollars.

Excellent Thread, and it is very nice to see on hacker news what my whole company is about!

We build software for drones to inspect power lines, and this is exactly the kind of anomaly we are looking for, using AI. Unfortunately PG&E is not a customer yet..
PGEs for profit status is kind of derailing tangent in these discussions. There are many successful ownership models for running a utility safely and reliably.

PGE has a long term organizational culture in leadership that creates this environment of negligent behaviours. Essentially all of PGEs problems are due to PGE -climate, environment, geography and company profit motives are secondary causes of these disasters at best.
If it’s just a few hiccups why not leave it in the oven for another month before charging?
It's almost as if none of the replies read Drew's comment. Drew is talking about developing an editor for a closed source system and dealing with interfaces that break and then are hard to change, unlike open source systems that receive patches. It has nothing to do with "tweak[ing] the platform." Fixing a bug (which upstream would do, not you) is not tweaking, a bug is unintended behavior.
It has been possible to run GitLab the application on K8s for some time now for the majority of self-managed deployments. There were some limitations however, for running GitLab on K8s at the very large scale of GitLab.com that we have been working through in the last year.

Certainly yes, it's better indoors. However long it'll take will depend on how good your insulation is (a lot of older construction in the Bay Area has really poor insulation; after all, we don't have to deal with harsh winters). That said, when it gets really bad outside (AQI >150) for over a few days, it's almost certainly going to get bad inside if you don't have any filtration.

One thing worth mentioning though is that the smoke you smell is volatile organic compounds, and the smoke you see is (I believe) PM10. You're not going to smell or see PM2.5, which is what these HEPA air purifiers are designed to filter. I'm not confident in this, but my intuition is that these smaller PM2.5 particles will find their way into your home more more quickly than the larger PM10 particles will.

>inviting into the office stuff that doesn't belong there, invoking avoidable bad conduct, and turning the company into dystopian thought police

I don't necessarily disagree with your general sentiment -- I would actually prefer to keep all of this out of the workplace entirely. But I think this sort of behavior is already happening in companies, and it is exacerbated by the fact that there isn't debate.

I think it is difficult for a company with an open culture to keep politics away from work. And if we suppose that politics will inevitably find their way into work, I would much rather have debates than not.
Well, for one, many believe Atom development stalled/is slowly dying.
On the other hand, renting an apartment translates to a 100% decline in value (and 0% ownership).
Didnt expect that. Which model?
> The US isn't very good at running social safety nets, it's chaotic and critical parts of it are managed in very different ways state to state. We're not getting enough bang for our buck on that spending, we need to do better. We're spending a lot of money and the results are often not good enough

Typically, when someone is complaining about the lack of a social safety net in the US, they mean in terms of services received, rather than money spent.

As the above quote shows, you obviously know that because of various insane inefficiencies (often caused or abetted by perverse incentives at the interface between the public and private sectors) the point you're making of how much is spent in terms of % of GDP doesn't actually refute the complaints (about how little is being done for those in need) that you are objecting to.

So. We spend a heck of a lot, and we don't have a decent social safety net.

It's also worth noting that where social safety net programs are being poorly run by the government, this can sometimes be traced to politically motivated shenanigans and deliberate mismanagement.
"Apocolypse" is still a pretty strong word for failing to break into a market because your product doesn't meet the user's requirements.

Ha! I remember that. The joke had started to come unstuck a bit by the time I first used emacs in 1999/2000 (my own machine had 128MB, quickly upgraded to 256MB of RAM), and we weren't making much use of the multi-user aspects of UNIX, but it still had some currency amongst older hands in the department (and in my first job or two).
How this A.I. Became a Communist
Although there has been a concerted effort to spreaf FUD around "Digital Rights Management" and "Intellectual Property", these things are not, generally speaking, concepts that are found in criminal law.

In most (all?) jurisdictions copyright infringement is a civil matter, and there is pretty robust legislation that protects "fair use" and the "right to repair".

Modifying (Removing DRM on) a piece of software that you yourself have bought is perfectly legal. Furthermore, its also legal to tell other people how to do it.

I feel that we are getting better at recognizing that complex failures can have multiple contributing causes. In this case: superficial maintenance, negligent management, ineffective regulation, forest management, climate change, housing planning, demand for living near trees...

But I feel our approach to assigning blame still relies on finding a singular villain - and we end up with politically oversimplified narratives about cause and effect.

How to manage sales, inventory management and replenishment in Covid 19

I think it’s good that you were able to own a house even though it lost in value. This ownership still sounds better to me than only being able to rent an apartment. Renting always means that the payments lead to 0% ownership in the end, hence a 100% decline in value.
For what it's worth, I fired up BBEdit (another popular commerical Mac code editor) and pasted in some Arabic text. It didn't behave remotely correctly -- the text shifted around bizarrely as I moved the intertion point.

I think it's entirely plausible that Panic also shipped a text-layout system without full bidi support -- maybe that's why theirs is faster and less buggy on LTR text. The left-to-right language market (English, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean...) is probably big enough to support a Mac app development studio on its own.
Yes, the remaster, on a locked-down hardware platform, both of which I will have to pay for again. Hopefully by then I will also be too old to remember what 'anti-consumer' means.
Future of Content Management Systems – Headless and Augmented Reality
Content Management System is a web-based content management application to add, edit, and organize any kind of digital information. It helps you to control content generation activities such as optimizing content, monitoring user actions, performance analysis, and so on.
With technical advancements, CMS is also getting advanced. A decoupled or a Headless CMS is an entire newbie technical stack. Augmented Reality has also spread its horizons and resulted in AR Content Management Systems.

Take driving as an analogy - there's a non-zero risk of having a crash, but it's significantly higher if you don't follow the rules (drunk, speeding, broken car). This feels like PG&E was betting it wouldn't happen to them.

I think for a utility the risk should be very very close to zero, you can really do a lot of planning around it and make sure that if you're running infrastructure in a dangerous area to take sufficient measures to avoid all likely failures, and if one part breaks it doesn't end in a catastrophe. Maintenance schedules are there for a reason and keeping records helps improve the data for risk models.

But there might also be some blame on the general planning of the area, if it's too dangerous to run a power line, there shouldn't be one there. If other causes are likely, it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect this to be one of the government tasks to make sure that they set up some form of protection.

I use Sublime Text 3 for nearly all my DevOps work. I figured that I'd give Nova a try as I was a big Coda fan back in the day.

I opened up Nova and first installed HCL (language support for HashiCorp's Terraform and Packer). Then I looked for Shellcheck[1] validator, but was disappointed it did not exist. Then I search for Kubernetes and Helm wondering if there were any specific extensions, but no results. Next up was installing Dockerfile and ENV syntax highlighting.

Overall still tinkering around, but Nova seems very promising.

They didn't write their own text rendering engine AFAIK, they wrote their own layout manager. The layout manager determines where the lines go. I'm sure they are still using Core Text to render.
"Zoom" settings seems like a very odd spot to put something like a low light filter, which is why I never found it.

> August 2019 when we migrated the GitLab Container Registry to Kubernetes, the first service to move. Though this was a critical and high traffic service, it was a good choice for the first migration because it is a stateless application with only a few external dependencies

I was under the impression that porting a large stateless service was something that wasn't too bad to do with K8S? What limitations prevented this from going ahead earlier?

In a game like rimworld where it can be typical to run with 30 or 50 mods at a time and swap out different ones, you need a system and steam workshop is that system.
I think its a bit of a wash personally, the PS5 runs faster and has proprietary storage. But the GPU only has 70% the CU's of the XSX meaning that the overall APU should be significantly smaller, assuming the CUs are similar in size. This would increase the number of usable APUs per wafer.
The free market is a great tool but it has plenty of failure modes and this is clearly one of them.
Maybe, but people don't realize that the subway was open during the entire lockdown. I would be extremely skeptical that the lockdown did anything at all since it looks more like New York achieved herd immunity (or close to it) rather than it reduced any transmission.

I've also not heard many people say lockdowns prevent transmission, rather they flatten the curve, but you still get the same number of people getting the virus. The flattening makes the amount at any one time much lower, so I would still be very suspicious of someone who said they were able to prevent people from getting it. Unless they are talking about a very specific group of people such as people in nursing homes.
To be honest, I find it ridiculous (just like with social security numbers) how much you can apparently do just by virtue of knowing a passport number.

It shouldn’t work like that.

We haven't crossed that point, for the simple reason the resources and manpower to do it sustainably don't exist.

When you are dealing with hundreds of millions of people do the math on how many "arbiters of truth" you need. And AI/ML models can't keep up with the speed at which things change day to day.

Rumors for a while have been they are moving to a different model where they control reach and speed at which content moves.

Anything going viral "too fast" is automatically slowed down. That reduces dependence on determining type of content.

Things will prob settle on some hybrid model down the road.
Apart from the fact that you get the happiness of having solved it without help. What else does it give?
No, it objectively isn't. The context of Trump's comments was a presentation by Bill Bryan from the Department of Homeland security on how to fight COVID-19, in which he explicitly discussed that

a) The virus dies quickest in the presence of direct sunlight.
and
b) Readily available household disinfectants are effective at killing the virus. He specifically mentions that bleach and isopropyl alcohol had been tested.

This is the immediate context in which Trump's comments about putting light inside the body and injecting disinfectant were made. There is absolutely no doubt what he meant here. Stop trying to gaslight people.

Much more realistic perspective. I don't think increased ethnic diversity must play a role in inhibiting formation of unions, but it can be.

If I would need to implement a divide and conquer approach to any group, I certainly would start with benefiting certain members above others. Conflict is almost guaranteed this way. Oldest trick in the book.

Some diversity proponents try to mandate solidarity will indeed undermine efforts for workers rights. That approach might even be more subtle.

You don't need to! Managed Hosting is cheap as it can get!

2 €/month will get you 25 GB of web storage + 25 GB of mail storage, a .de domain (in my case at least), SSL through "Let's Encrypt", PHP, MySQL, 100 mailboxes, full control over the DNS records and whatnot else.

For 3 €/month you get three times of that.

In my experience, this is quite accurate: regardless of what site, HN, reddit, digg, etc., there's a tipping point where it becomes "Show HN: I did something cool" transitioning into "this is a spammer, get out"-type of innate reaction.

Another thing is the constant playing off of how something is special purely because of age; this has been done over and over on HN, and as a lurker I've seen tons of "im 12 and i made a css framework|cool library|js framework" type of stuff, and it really isn't helpful or useful for me to know or care about this.

If you have learned them, it's not too late. Martin Gardner mentioned an algorithm that doesn't work layer by layer, but instead starts off with all manipulations available, and gradually restricts which ones are admissible. In principle, just at the point no moves are admissible, the cube is also solved.

Putting aside the software for a second...

I've thought a little on this as well, from time to time. Hardware-wise, I don't see how the Quest 1/Lenovo Mirage Solo/Vive Focus were anything much more than Qualcomm's reference design headset (https://developer.qualcomm.com/hardware/snapdragon-835-vr-de...). Different strap designs, minor variations on display modules, removing ancillary stuff like the cellular radio and GPS, but otherwise the same CPU, same GPU, largely the same cameras.

With the Quest 2 running the Snapdragon XR2, a lot of the basic features of 6-DOF VR, with controllers/passthrough/voice control/etc, could be running straight on chip. (https://www.thundercomm.com/app_en/product/1584417287281447)

Qualcomm provides an SDK for VR on their hardware that touts all the things Facebook has always claimed were their own big innovations, like asynchronous time warp and lens corrections (https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/snapdragon-vr-sdk)

I can't find the link right now, but Qualcomm/Thundercomm are also providing a base Android image specifically for use in VR. Which is probably why you can build and install regular ol' Android APKs on all of these headsets and they map the controller to mouse actions.

My point is, I am starting to doubt Facebook has all that much "special sauce". I think it's mostly just marketing. I think Qualcomm has done the hard work here and is happy to let other companies take the credit because Qualcomm is about chip licenses, not consumer electronics. Other than tuning parameters for camera positions, there should be no reason why the OS image for any one of these headsets to run on any other one.

I think it's doable. I think you could probably root the firmware and get an open source OS running on any one of these headsets. And it'd also breath new life into systems whose creators basically got bored with not making a billion dollars overnight.

It's impossible to design a system that won't need maintenance. There is nothing wrong with designing something that needs some parts replaced every 50 years, and that's the only design factor that was involved.

There were multiple failures on PG&E's part, to an extent, but they were all under the maintenance umbrella. Performing maintenance. Verifying maintenance. The culture around maintenance.
