I've heard some of Broadcom's stingeyness with documentation may stem from the risks created by the perverse environment created by IP laws. With a patent troll only one manual away, I can somewhat understand to a degree holding things close to your chest if you want to continue to exist.

I mean it sucks massively, but I can at least understand it. It's part of why I strongly disagree with the "IP" side of semiconductor products, and believe that we really need to treat everything about computing as if it were straight up math. Doing anything else simply ensures that the knowledge will only very slowly percolate outward in the process of becoming a naturally endemic proficiency of the average modern human.
Yep, this is my favorite thing about Vue.

People will respond saying you "can do this with React, too". But in practice it's not nearly as nice to do as with Vue. You need React and React DOM AND JSX to really make it practical; writing React render functions is not really what you want to do when you are adding some simple functionality to an existing web app (like form validation).
It wasn't even in the "run up" to the election - Scalia died in early February. Garland was nominated in mid March. Obama had 10 more months in the Presidency (~23% of his presidency left when Scalia died and McConnell said we shouldn't fill a vacancy in an election year).
Really depends. They made and then shut down Mixer, their Twitch competitor, because no one was using it.
He ideally should be able to, as long as the correct procedures are followed. Republicans, however, set the precedent by not allowing Obama to appoint one in his last year in office. My money, however, is on them ramming someone through anyways.
This video goes through why the video technology at the time simply wasn't even good enough to enable faking the moon landing. Even if they wanted to.

True, but we’re talking politics and politicians. Compare Biden before and New Biden on issues. They ALL would do that. There is no real holier than thou politician.
> That was never more evident than in 1996 when, as a relatively new Supreme Court justice, Ginsburg wrote the court's 7-to-1 opinion declaring that the Virginia Military Institute could no longer remain an all-male institution. True, said Ginsburg, most women — indeed most men — would not want to meet the rigorous demands of VMI. But the state, she said, could not exclude women who could meet those demands.

What's the bet she was OK with male-only conscription though?
I mean, holy sh. This election is going to be insane.
It's kind of odd to think what ISIS' media operations brought it. Initially they seem to have garner a variety of international recruits, I most from a Muslim background but some not. But either way, a lot of their appeal was an absolute nihilistic rejection of "modernity". It seems like the appeal involve a kind of fundamental alienation combined with being a flavor of the month - sort of the appeal of leftism but lacking any sense that things can be improved.

I suspect shutting down their media probably stopped having an effect through novelty wearing off, all the best recruits being recruited and the world moving on to (inadvertently or not) selling some other reactionary rebellion - and the group being militarily defeated in Syria.
> because Germany is federal-social-democratic, not stalinist

Ah, "federal" is the right answer here. In many smaller EU countries, there is a single central social-democratic government, which can just fund an open-source solution for all regions to use.
I think reading about Ruth and Antonin Scalia's friendship was the most wholesome political reading I've ever done. Hearing people divided in opinion, but not bitterly so, working together to figure out the best framework to construct American society from was inspirational. I hope the two halves of the political world can become friends in the way they were.

Rest in peace Ruth. I hope if there's an after you and Antonin are living it up.
Obama had more time left than Trump so the hypocrisy coming out of the Senate will be that much richer.

> “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” McConnell said

> “You’d have to go back to 1888 when Grover Cleveland was in the White House to find the last time a vacancy created in a presidential year was confirmed by the party opposite the occupant of the White House,” McConnell said in March 2016

> “We think the important principle in the middle of this presidential election, which is raging, is that the American people need to weigh in and decide who’s going to make this decision,” McConnell said

> Speaking in his home state of Kentucky on Tuesday, McConnell was asked what he would do about a high court vacancy if a seat were to open up [in 2020].
“Oh, we’d fill it,” McConnell said
Time? absolutely. It only takes an hour or two.

Will they do it? maybe? probably.
Not sure why you are downvoted, this is correct. What the R's did to Merrick Garland was a disgrace. What kind of wink and a nod agreement is that? They should codify this into law, not keep perpetuating it forever. How long until it's 'oh, he's only got 3 more years left...lame duck!'
I think we can all be certain that whoever is appointed by the Federalist Society and approved by Mitch McConnell will make sure Trump wins a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) term.

The American experiment as a free and democratic country is over.

Unless you want to live in a real world version of The Handmaid's Tale, get the fsck out if you still can.

With the filibuster gone there’s not much Democrats can do to stop it if they can muster 50 votes.
Amy Barrett.
"In the run up" meaning that Scalia died in February 2016, nine months before the election, and the very solemnly contemplative senator from Kentucky announced “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
As much as I respected and admired RBG, even she would’ve known it’s at best a wish and nothing else.

If things weren’t so polarized, they absolutely should spare no time in replacing the seat, as is their duty. But we know it’ll be yet another cynical and dishonest process as it was last time.
So 'graft' is the right word in this context, but hey, I learned that 'grift' is a crime. Now I guess I know what 'grifter' means ...
I hate that it's become bad to send people your thoughts and prayers. It may not do anything, but to have meant so much to so many people is something worth thinking about.
> anything implying Elon is successful because of his family money is a hugely far-left opinion, if not communist

TIL reality is communist
Realistically, they have until the last day of the current congress which runs until January 3rd, 2021. The Senate has 37 working days remaining in 2020. It would be an amazing feat if they manage to do it, but you bet if only as an animating fight for the party faithful who are historically depressed right now, they're going to try.
Merrick Garland?
From back in 2019: ‘Oh, we’d fill it’: How McConnell is doing a 180 on Supreme Court vacancies in an election year

Why not? What's the cutoff?
McConnell is pretty transparent about his hypocritical political bullshit:

> "Oh, we’d fill it,” McConnell told supporters in Kentucky on Tuesday when asked what he would do if a Supreme Court justice died in 2020 while President Trump was still in office

> https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/29/oh-wed-fi...

edit: Am I really getting downvoted for pointing out how the current administration already said it would handle this?

edit #2: Individual Republicans are declaring they're against rushing an appointment before the election (https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1307113546136784897).
> In fact Denmark gets about 65% of their power from wind.

Not true. Just 47% [1], and Denmark is a country with the most favorable conditions for wind generation. Statistics are easy to manipulate if you allow yourself to add 15 percent here, subtract 15% there..

Also, Denmark relies on Sweden (who utilize nuclear power a lot) and Norway to provide power when renewables are not providing enough power

Also with hospital beds and an exponentially spreading virus, once you're at 50% capacity (sounds like you've got a lot of headroom right?) you're actually out of beds and over flowing by the next wave (2-3 weeks later with this disease).
The distinction being that the opposition controlled the senate under Obama and he was too weak a president to take up the case that he had a right to have his nominees even considered. They didn’t just stop him from picking a justice, he abdicated his power by not pushing back.
Hmm, I’m ambivalent about people who do this. I think if you know your time is near, you should take it easy. Do some mundane things. Yes, I know “but it’s the only thing I love doing”. I disagree with that choice.
It really does seem the cosmos has decided that America's time of greatness (however broad the meaning of that word is) is at an end. I hope my comment turns out to be another "who needs dropbox". Edit0:s/this/my.
I get the context. Times change.
> Non-portable scripts can also bite you on Linux, where Debian, for example, will swap out the shell from bash to dash for performance. but others will not. So, even within the Linux ecosystem, you can end up with scripts that behave differently across distros.

From the bash man page, "If bash is invoked with the name sh, it tries to mimic the startup behavior of historical versions of sh as closely as possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as well." Also you should not be including bashisms if your shebang is sh and not bash. So using bash as sh shouldn't generally be a problem, if you stick to the published Shell Command Language [0], unless you hit one of the cases where the spec is a bit ambiguous and shells implement it differently [1].

I'm not sure your understanding of VR motion sickness is quite right. Most people are completely fine with teleport locomotion which is sufficient for a huge class ofs games.

Also cockpits seem to reduce nausea thus opening up another broad category.

It's mostly smooth first person motion with strafing and smooth turning that is problematic.

You are right to a degree. Vine at its peak had less than 30 engineers total and at most 1 person working on the "engine".
If the Senate confirms the President's nomination then I don't see why the President wouldn't follow through with the appointment.
There's likely some middle ground. Like a 747 that is ALMOST due a heavy check and mx cycle and very close to end of life.
Northern Virginia?
Just sharing my approach. Phone is for calls and short messages, banking apps. After 6pm I reply only for close friends/family. No gaming. No movies. No tv. Old Ipad Air for casual browsing/rss. Work computer is only for work. Different machine is research and learning. Book reading on e-reader and paper. Drinking lot of water, active breaks every 30 minutes. When I feel that I have reached my cognitive daily peak - I stop everything and focus on relaxation. Never been so happy and productive in my life:)
I think the law of the land is probably “whoever controls the Senate decides whether the Senate confirms a nominee”, but I guess we’ll find out soon.
The Senate majority leader.
The potential ramifications of this are chilling. If the Republicans mishandle this, it could drastically increase the chances of widespread conflict around the time of the elections.
I wouldn't count on any politicians in our current government caring one little whit about that… :(
Sure, if you believe the figures published by the USSR's government.
> Except it is not really embedded in Java, only in comments.

Java comments are Java. Embedding = in Java source, which requires some kind of delimiter, so the author conveniently repurposed multiline comments for that which is fine. Also, if you read the post, it clearly states you embed fragments in either comments or strings, if the fragments is a declaration vs a value.

> I sincerely hope this dies a quick death

Why the hostility? If you have something constructive to offer, great, otherwise this is the kind of comment that gives HN a bad rep.
But that was a republican senate that had the power to confirm or not. Now you have a republican president and senate so if they want to ram somebody through they can do that.
If he pushed back, what good could it have done? He couldn’t force the Republican senate to hold a vote and even if he did force a vote, Republicans wouldn’t have confirmed his nominee.
She should have retired before 2016 and let someone step up. Occupying the seat of power until you keel over at the age of 85 is a peculiar expression of ego and selfishness.
It's not bad to send thoughts and prayers! It is only considered hypocritical when someone offers those thoughts and prayers despite protecting/enshrining/supporting/etc. the thing which directly resulted in the tragedy. For example, strong supporters of gun rights and those who suffer from gun violence. I also extend my deepest sympathies to her family and those who she was close with. It is hard to lose someone, and I am sure it is even worse when a lot of people will be disgustingly cheering the death.
I still feel like that may not be easy. Doesn't take many Republicans (4?) that are skeptical about Trump being re-elected, and open to tit-for-tat to stall or halt this.
I think you’re underestimating the independence that justices feel when they’re appointed. The new appointee would owe nothing to Trump. Look at Roberts ruling for Oabamacare and Kavanaughs recent rulings.
Amy Barrett, a hard-right ideologue.

Dear Dfinity, we need this!
Donald J. Trump
liberals: for all the fucking shit you pulled this year between the fake covid && the riots - we are sending all of you to jail!
I'm still surprised the Democrats try to discuss compromise at this point. You can't compromise with someone running a madman strategy, realistically I don't know any true independents on the political spectrum at this point.
Be sure to backup those notes. Heard some horrorstories back in the day about unrecoverable notes.

I've been a long time Evolution user (decades, literally). But the bugs; particularly in the mail composer. So many bugs. And a lot of dependence on how Gnome does things, like online accounts. I swear some Gnome libraries have a lifetime of split milk, and when they change everything breaks. So now I've moved to Thunderbird.

I've already come across a fair few bugs in Thunderbird. And as you say sync'ing calendars with Google is one of them. Only being able the use Google Calendar with the GMail account sharing the same email address is a complete PITA, making it unsuitable for many applications. Thunderbirds dependence on Firefox, and the current rapid internal refactoring Firefox is undergoing combine to break things even faster than Gnome. So, bug and stability wise they seem to be on par. (Lord, how I look forward to Firefox/Mozilla getting past this period. I realise it's necessary, they are doing their best to reduce the pain and what pain remains must simply be endured. But enduring it is hard.)

Feature wise, both Evolution and Thunderbird both are very mature and equally capable. Many of the deficiencies in both arise from the proprietary providers (Google, Microsoft, ...) continually changing how they do things, and in Microsoft's case gratuitously making interoperability difficult.

As for the Windows Outlook client - pfft. I was asked to help a work colleague a month or two ago. During the move of data from the old machine to the new one some part of Windows (perhaps Defender?) announced a file contained copyrighted material and deleted it. The file happened to be the .PST containing his pop3 data. After getting past that a week or two later it refused to start. It announced Windows was running low on resources, then exited. I last saw that message 25 years ago, when Outlook was the only choice. The only solution was a complete uninstall (which of course Microsoft's installer doesn't know how to do, so it must be done manually, stumbling around in the dark), and clean install. Nothing has changed.

Whereas the open source clients do their best to interoperate with everything (albeit with mixed success), Microsoft appears to go out of their way to make their users' lives difficult if they try to use Outlook with anything bar Microsoft servers (online or Exchange). The corporate world would be far better off collectively getting behind someone like RedHat, Ubuntu or the Apache foundation, and developing something whose primary goal was to do the job they need done well, not extract money from them. It’s not like it’s a mind boggling difficult job.
How do people manage to manage hundreds or even thousands of open tabs? And most importantly, why? Are they using tabs instead of bookmarks?

Usually I have no more than ten. Even when searching/researching something it doesn't get more than twenty - open all the interesting search results on the first search page, usually that's enough to find whatever I'm looking for. If not, tabs are being closed one by one or are being bookmarked with appropriate tags. Repeat for the next page of search results.
Yikes, that’s even greater depreciation than I thought. Even then that 777 seems almost too good to be true with the current fuel prices, do you have the link or the details on it?
The Republicans will absolutely do it.

This is their chance to mold our country's sociopolitical landscape for decades.
Yeah, it's not free, but great CGI for a blockbuster movie is not cheap.

I could easily see them spending more on that than the scrap value of the plane. But presumably the stunt coordination itself is also expensive.
If the answer is always "no" what leverage could Obama use? This isn't house of cards, what could Obama actually do
I saw her speak at West Point about a year and a half ago. In a room including colonels, generals, and cadets, she riveted the audience with humor, stories, wit, and insight. My favorite insight was her sharing her friendship with Scalia. Their nearly opposite politics didn't stop them from things like he would secretly pass her notes while hearing cases to try to make her laugh.

Her sharing contributed to my befriending a few people with opposite political views, against this nation's tide of increasing polarization and beating opponents without trying to understand (Jonathan Haidt's book The Righteous Mind contributed too). Among the results: less anger, more understanding, more self-awareness, though also more confusion among friends and family to why I would talk to someone who voted that way.
Based on what? A justice dying and a terrible president who will be voted out of office in 7 weeks? Quit with the sensationalist “the world is ending” comments that aren’t based on anything but you’re pessimistic gut feeling.
I own several headsets including a Quest and I'd be happy with any of them. I guarantee you're mistaken.
When you read about the British with their rationing bringing about a near-starvation diet during WW2, and then reading what delicacies and their amounts that Churchill was eating and drinking at the same time, it's a wonder that he wasn't lynched from the nearest lamp-post when the British public found out.

To save a click:

>Five hundred forty-eight undergraduates participated for course credit. [...] Our final sample consisted of 520 smartphone users.

520 isn't as bad as I was expecting, but it's still an order of magnitude away from being meaningful. And, obviously, a study population consisting only of students attending the same class is maybe going to be slightly biased.
Politically charged appointees to the Supreme Court have on occasion surprised naysayers and showed independence or at least made it a point to not be outright impartial.
Bytedance paid $1 billion in advertisements in 2018. Anyone remember how annoying and ubiquitous their ads were?

This is Trump's chance to score some points. If he defers the appointment he will score some points with people and have a better chance of re-election. If they ram it through his chances of winning will be worse than they already are. This is at most a 2d chess move. They'll probably still screw it up.
In Rust projects where you want to be developing multiple highly related modules in tandem with each other, it can be helpful to just use a single repository and a Cargo workspace[1].

You can still build and publish them individually, but it can make development and testing much simpler.

What do you mean, too weak a president? The president can’t push back on that—-the senate confirms justices, that’s in the constitution:

... and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States...
Stencil, Elm and React can also be be gradually adopted as they can produce individual component, which can be mounted to a part of webpage
For every one of the coming takes that Republicans will be hypocrites to appoint and confirm a justice (which they will)

They do not give a fuck.

That’s not how they see power and it is why they have a far disproportionate share of power/representation than their support across the electorate.

This is about power.
In politics, nothing else matters.
Do you think Obama asked the Republicans in the Senate for their advice on who to nominate when he nominated Merrick Garland?
Stop with these kind of comments. Do you honestly think the Supreme Court would allow a President to win a 3rd term? “We can all be certain” should be translated to “I feel like making a crazy rant here”. “Experiment is over” - the election is in 7 weeks, let’s hold off on the “get out while you can” comments until it’s over.

How confident are you in your statement that the “American experiment is over”? Care to bet $10k on there being a free and fair election in 2028? I get “Yes”, you can have “No”.
