My OnePlus (not sure how widespread the feature is on android) has a Zen Mode, once started you can't use the phone for most things until the timer elapses.

A bit different, but good if you want a break.
Sure, I know it isn't. But it still depends on where in Texas. If you're in Austin, yeah, you're probably not going to see people toting guns in supermarkets all over. If you're in Dallas or Houston, it'll be more common, but still not that common. If you're somewhere like San Antonio or Corpus Christi, it'll be even more common.

But yeah, there are vanishingly few places in the US where you should expect to be in the presence of gun-toting civilians while doing something as mundane as grocery shopping.
"What time is it?"

If I am awake it is after 9:30AM but before 4AM. If I am asleep it is after 4AM but before 9:30AM. Only my dog cares about the any other time such as: time for a walk. time for breakfast. time for a nap. time for dinner. time for another walk. :-)
I think of rotation about any axis as if I inserted into the object a skewer along that axis, and rotated the skewer. For example, rotating an object laying on the desk is achieved by rotating about the Z axis, since the "skewer" is pointing up along Z axis.

This works well in OpenSCAD and I just saw that Slic3r displays a handy arrow in the 3D preview when you focus the text box that controls the rotation
Points are taken. I think you have to nail down who your audience is: colleagues or managers. How you approach the problem is going to be different for each audience, based on the expectations and workflows of those audiences. Best of luck.
Or use a dependency graph where the operation are, umm, dependent on the specific geometric component parent.

When something gets changed just go and find the place where the graph is bonkers and rebind the sub-tree to the correct parent object.

The cynic in me wonders if the TikTok ban is just to try to drive the price down for Trump’s friend Larry Ellison.
Why would that not be abused as a means of political oppression? You could just sue your opponents and it would be guilty until proven innocent.
As someone who has helped with a fair share of controlled burns... yes: two-way radios on a repeater with backup batteries is excellent.

Any leftover budget is better spent on preventative measures, like clearing brush or controlled burns, not iPads.
Just 3 months after TikTok users embarrassed Trump at his Tulsa rally, where he left visibly upset.

He's called for the repeal of section 230 because of "tech bias". He attacks news outlets for “biassed” reporting. He attacks whistle blowers. He attacks people that supported him and later changed their minds (mattis, kelly, etc). He attacks Amazon for owning Washington Post. He attacks anyone that opposes him.

I'm surprised people are taking this ban at face value.

And what's sad is that he's made it clear he would attack US tech companies if he can find a legal basis to do so. There's zero doubt in my mind that this is all about Trump silencing opposition. It's his modus operandi.

Edit: Even the sale was politicized. He came out against Microsoft owning it, and publicly supported Oracle... Ellison being one of his friends.. whom I would guess Trump assumed would make the platform more friendly to him.
> Users, meanwhile, face a security “nightmare” because they won’t be able to get app updates that fix bugs and security vulnerabilities, he said.

This is because people who already have the app will be able to continue using it, just without updates.

So we can probably expect to see a mad rush of new users downloading the app over the weekend before it gets banned - and then keeping an outdated, insecure app on their devices without any security updates...
Mmmh. I've been looking at the 'affordable' big-memory (4-6TB) HPE confs for just this kind of 'snapshot to disk every bit from all 10GbE NICs for the previous 10 minutes' feature.

https://www.g2.com/categories/session-replay

It's just session replay... in 2020... if we don't want to be tracked I think it's on us at this point to use a blocker.

As someone who runs a site that uses this, I can tell you with 100% certainty that without it we (a) would not be able to optimize user experience nearly as well, (b) would not be able to serve customer support tickets nearly as well and (c) would not be able to make product decisions at the velocity we want.

Not sure what folks are doing on sites like Notion, etc. that makes session replay so creepy but also do we really think companies and startups have time to sit and watch all the user sessions?

Seems like an unfair takedown to me.
I don't think so. For many companies, it's better to sell to a smaller market with higher profit margins (e.g. SaaS web apps) than to sell to everyone and lose money (e.g. paying the iOS tax). And those 30% are surely large enough to completely eat up profit margins in some markets.

Oh god, homemade "ozonators" like this bare mercury lamp one.[1]

HN sometimes has a misplaced admiration of ex-USSR-ian resourcefulness, but the cultural climate of top-secret alternative cures and conspirology is exactly what popularizes breathing cures, DIY bleach injection, "bringing the light inside," and other desperate, dangerous self-experimentation.

A top result for "ozonator" in Russian advertises that ozone therapy is "used for wound-healing, immune system recovery, removal of cellulite, and obesity." Just breathe it in!

There is nothing wrong with two way radios, per se. The issue is the FCC "typing" rules that disallow a single device operating on multiple, disparate frequency bands.

Imagine I respond to a car accident and need to call for a helicopter and arrange a landing zone. In this situation, I will be juggling four brick sized radios throughout the duration of that call.[1] Possibly while driving.

We have started to funnel most comms to "tablet command mobile" on our personal phones, which is all text based and ties into GPS map on the phone, etc. - this is very efficient and works very well, but it is heavily dependent on infrastructure we don't control (the mobile phone network).

Anything complicated and we're juggling four bricks again. It's very frustrating, especially in an era of SDRs that could very obviously give me p25+calcord+GMRS all in one simple device.

I actually like the GUI way of designing in FreeCAD/Fusion 360 (which I wouldn't say about much) but for me it's about the file format on disk. I would love it if they had a sane human-readable format, git-friendly. I appreciate that wouldn't be trivial.

So I'm really interested in learning something like OpenSCAD or CadQuery, even if only for files I can use and read anywhere.
Yeah I dont think vr’s future is mobile - cant be. There is only this much performance you can squeeze out of a mobile platform (even carmack himself seems to suggest that). Desktop gaming pcs are becoming cheaper by the day and gpu and cpu power are going up. My previous “gaming” pc cost less than 600 gbp and it handled oculus quite well. Now i reckon i own a quite powerful pc, cheaper than a macbook pro, and its flying through games. And most gamers are willing to spend money on such pcs. Anyway up to you, but i would recommend trying pc based vr as i have the feeling you will get hooked!
It seems like a dumb move, which is why I don't think they're doing what they're being accused of. It could certainly just be a technical glitch. I don't think they are spying on uses like that. They have -plenty- of data already and getting more everyday..
I also did this, although only for a while. I first removed all notifications and apps from my phone (although I do not use social media anyway), and eventually went to some cheap flip phone. However, once I had to go rescue my wife when she locked her keys in the car.. And it took me 2.5 hours when it should have taken 1 hour because I got lost...

I've taken to using my smart phone but leaving it at home as much as I can, I only take it out if I'm going out for a long period of time now and I'll take my dumb phone so my wife can contact me if possible.
While that may be true, that was not the intent of the 2nd amendment, which was there to ensure that regular citizens were both involved in the protection of the country's interests, and could act as a counter (by force, if necessary) to their own country if it decided to try to grab too much power and become tyrannical.

Enshrining this right in the constitution had little to do with frontier safety.

>Frankly I don't see any disagreement. I didn't say "old guys" as an epithet. They call themselves that...

As an older (never old! Okay not for another ten years or so. :) ) guy, I can say that while I do have a smartphone, I primarily use it as a (gasp) phone. I also do SMS (Signal is preferred, but many folks aren't security conscious) and read email.

I don't use my phone for anything that has or could have financial implications -- phones just aren't secure enough for that.

What's more, after being an early adopter of social media (FB in 2004), I gave it up years ago because the business model was clearly exploitative and I wanted no part of it anymore.

Besides, as an IT/InfoSec professional, I spend way too much time looking at screens anyway and don't need to be constantly looking at my phone too.

Heck, I just went and ran a few errands and didn't even bring the damn thing with me.

I'd point out that it wasn't very long ago that few people had mobile devices. In fact, when I was a child, few people even had (now obsolete) answering machines in their homes.

And wonder of wonders, we managed to do just fine.

Sure, it's useful to have a device that allows me to look up directions or get information about someplace I may be going, or let others know if I need to change plans or similar stuff. But that's just convenience, not a necessity.

I've been working with, designing and implementing internetworking solutions since ~1990, most of that time as a paid professional, so I'm not exactly a Luddite either.

In fact, I'm more technical than most younger people. And because I've been doing InfoSec for decades, I'm aware of the risks, as well as the benefits of being constantly connected.

IMHO, unless there's some important reason to be tethered to one's device (a family member's health, on-call duties, etc.) the risks often outweigh the benefits.

Now get off my lawn!

Edit: Added context WRT convenience vs. necessity
Also to be clear, I don't think the Notion client itself uses it -- just the Notion marketing site.
I thought they were talking about Doctor Who.
You can put anything in a contract, but that doesn't make the contract enforceable. And the way our legal system is set up, you can't challenge the legality of a contract clause without (someone) entering into it.
Small successes haven't gone anywhere. However a system that needs billions of dollars in corporate funding worth of research to come into existence cannot be one by definition.

I find it amusing that you are allowed to run arbitrary Javascript but can't run NodeJS on your machine. Sometimes corporate security can be a theatre.
> It's still not cheap

Its funny to me that some people complain about nvidia price gouging etc, but if the sales of 3080 are any indication then based on basic supply&demand idea if anything they are massively underpriced. Lowering the prices would seem to just mean that more people would be disappointed from not actually being able to get them because the supply is so limited. The little I know about chip manufacturing also suggests that its likely that fabs have been producing ga102s at full capacity and its not like you can just get another fab to produce more of them in blink of an eye, so availability is probably really just constrained by production.
There is no need to run NodeJS in production with React. In fact, React doesn’t even require a fancy build system (though for anything more than a toy app you’re tempting fate.)
I wonder if an FPGA board could be used for that.
I hate going to restaurants or bars with friends/colleagues/family where the bar or restaurant has a TV showing whatever it is showing. Everyone inevitably gravitates to watching the TV rather than having a conversation. I can have dinner in front of a TV at home.
React can also be used with just script tags. It uses a compiler to turn JSX into a render function (the same as Vue which accepts JSX or HTML) and these compilers are written in JS and can run in the browser. Also modern browsers are much better at supporting JS modules which makes it easier to include other libraries.
I was under the impression that those studies not only failed to replicate but in fact more recent studies found the opposite...
sunk cost fallacy. If you have an iPhone you're probably deep into the Apple ecosystem and migrating to another platform is painful.
Sure, but at least my impression is that the current iteration of it is different. I can't recall a time in my lifetime (made it past 40 a few years ago) that deplatforming on ideological grounds by non-state groups was that pervasive in the West.

There's been the red scare in the decades between ww2 and my birth, but that seemed more like a "threat to the system" kind of thing, this feels more religious, with individual small-time sinners being exposed and hunted down, not the deep state pulling levers to blacklist hollywood actors they suspect of having sympathies for communism.
They are pretty amazing, because you can start with Ti-Basic and once you're hooked you will want to know all about writing assembly. Doing that with the rich ecosystem/libraries and community available is much easier than doing the same with just the processor alone. You can load your games (presumably) with USB and have cursor keys right below the screen yay!
That's fair, the text rabbit hole goes fairly deep and most people aren't aware of the complexities at play. Implementing the glue on its own isn't a trivial task, so the work may have felt like doing it "from scratch". I only took issue with the wording and wanted to be a bit more precise with it on this thread.
Retaliatory action in a trade war is probably a good idea, but the government may not have a legal tool to block the app for that reason. Hence the need to come up with a security threat.

I’m skeptical of the security issue. If China wanted to inject spyware into American’s phones, there are so many apps to choose from, including lots of apps with millions of installs from no-name developers that could easily be compromised. If the US wants to protect citizens against these threats, they can have entities with infosec skills like the NSA or CISA work with Apple/Google to help detect threats in the app review process. My guess is that programs like this are already in place. Blocking just a couple of economically significant apps doesn’t seem like the way you’d go about pursuing that goal. It smells like a pretext for firing a few more shots in the trade war.
Rosa parks wasn't one person making a stand, she was working on behalf of a group of people that wanted to change the law and needed a case to get behind. It wasn't a spur of the moment thing, it was pre-planned and supported by many people. That group obviously didn't compare to the government they were standing up against, but they were far larger than any individual person.

In that respect, it is very similar factually, even if you find it repugnant to equate the two in any way.
This is awesome!!!! It would be cool if there were some binary releases, at least for the shooter example. I'm not sure if there's anything huge blocking that though?

Also I'm admittedly not rust-proficient yet but would the cargo run command be cross-platform dependent, or is this a windows-only thing right now?
Except that he hasn't. The vast majority of things you think he said, he didn't actually say. We've never had a media that distorts everything this bad. Every little thing he does say is taken out of context.
We simply don't know that. That's what DOJ accuses him of - now we need to wait to hear his side of the story (and his lawyers), unless of course you believe in USA everyone is guilty without being proven of committing said crime?
It's more of a value rather than identity sort of check:

> Users with the software can be profiled and tracked by the Chinese government pretty easily.

This is true of all apps coming out of the US with the NSA. Should Google, Facebook, Netflix be banned in Europe?

> and we're entering a trade war.

The trade war started a while ago and I'm pretty sure China is winning it.
Another open source alternative in the wake of the Fusion 360 debacle it seems.

I will have a look. I'm no CAD expert and I have tried FreeCAD but it seems it's almost there but not yet. My use cases are very simple and this may be enough but nevertheless I think a GUI is the way to go for these kind of applications.
Apparently this is possible:

I'm pretty sure it was also sending a message to other companies with big apps - stick to the agreement or we will retaliate.

On the other side, keep in mind that Epic is also an enormous company with an army of lawyers. They probably guessed this was a possibility, and they may yet succeed in trapping Apple in a retaliation/breach-of-contract quagmire.
Nice view presented. I ike the sentence “Selling human behavior to the highest bidder is the business model.‘. I think openness is key for freedom.

I want to take this opportunity to mention my project template used to create Vue 3 apps without the need for Webpack or any other build tool:

https://github.com/arijs/vue-next-example

I already integrated vue-router, and am currently on the process of fully integrating Vue server renderer. I already have a basic usage implemented, where the home page is compiled to a html string, but I still need to make it easy to compile all pages and to implement client-side component hydration.
I still use my 950. People get annoyed with me because I don't use messenger or WhatsApp. It does email and phone calls just fine. Anything other than that or surfing the intertoobs can wait until I get to a PC.
Good points. It's crazy the level of power I'm learning our executive branch has... Government is dangerous without checks and balances.
I dont think this is available for vue 3. Sadly.
`rm -rf` is much more recognizable than `rm --recursive --force`.

`tar -cvf` is much more recognizable than `tar --create --verbose --file`.

One thing I'm really excited about with this version is Vite (the snowpack type version of Vue that doesn't require webpack). It should make development so much easier.
Particularly in this case, because `-v` sometimes means "print out the version number".
Yes, really agree with this perspective. Last year Carmack's talk was equally interesting and he stated that they had all the usage data on several different visions of what VR could be (Rift, GearVR, Go, Quest) and that the data showed the Quest had the most engaged users and the product finally showed signs of being sticky. At the time it convinced me not to buy because their v2 was clearly going to get a big investment now that they had plausible product market fit.

I think the Quest showed FB that they had a potential winner on their hands and the Quest 2 is moving out of MVP phase to mass market phase. They are gambling that this is going to take off in a big way and they pushed hard to get an improved version out there and ramp up their manufacturing faster than most thought they would. They clearly want to be first to the "Oasis" with Horizon if that's ever going to be a thing and the FB login is a piece of that. If this is a flop, it will be a huge disappointment to the execs. If it's a win then FB may have been first to plant their flag in our VR future, for better or for worse.
Abraham Lincoln should have thought twice before bullying slave owners, and providing support to slaves who broke the law and fled. Shame on supporting this illegal activity. Runaways aren't above anyone else.
If you have a Samsung phone a more gradual step in this direction is their maximum battery saver mode (my S7 had it, at least, not sure about more recent models). It turns the phone into close to a dumb phone (iirc no social media apps, maybe a web browser). Only a subset of preapproved apps are available in this mode.
