Hey so maybe we are not very good at umm explaining what our product does, I guess. Our vision behind emulating the in-office experience revolves around the idea that when you're working in an office, you can "see" who's in and who's not. Plus for example your colleague got off his chair and went out for of the room you'd notice that for sure (if you're friends you may even know the reason behind it as well). After covid-19 lockdowns, people started to work remote. Now that feeling of knowing what your colleagues are unto isn't anymore. If pre-lockdown you had to go and ask a colleague some help, you'd know if he's available or not but when you go remote you're not sure if he is available at that instant or not.

Plus, when a lot of teams faced a sudden transition to remote, they were only touch with the people who they were dependent on. As in your team lead, or one or two team mates. So, that feeling of being connected to other coworkers starts to fade away.

Tbh, this is the first time I have heard so many people `pissed` (can't think of a right word) at remoty. I literally have users emailing me who JUST used our product for 8 days saying that their team has already started to feel closer. I can share that screenshot as well. We never designed this workflow for paranoid managers, else it'd have some crazy features like selfie & geo-located attendance etc.
Yeah, it's doable if you try or have a daily ritual. Camping trips or simply being away from home for a day, business travel and leaving the charger in a hotel etc, that constant upkeep is what keeps mine in the drawer. It would be much easier if it used the same lightning connector.
Octopus entomology sounds a lot more interesting
If this works so well, why are you offering it to other people?
Of course, currently. $5/yr could just be the targeted subsidized price.

The story is about Zinn. If anything, the deflection goes the other way.
The Z-80 stack pointer (SP) is a full 16 bit register. The stack can be anywhere in memory and be as large as needed.

The 6502 has only an 8 bit stack pointer which points into page 1 only (addresses 0x100 .. 0x1FF).

Consumers should stand their ground and not buy Oculus headsets until Facebook login is removed.

Yeah, it seems this is all just buggy application code. The title should probably be changed to something less suggestive, particularly given current paranoia around Chinese surveillance.

iOS doesn't really like providing APIs like that.
i think your math is wrong, bud.

100/25-1 = 3 (300% increase)

25/100-1 = -0.75 (75% decrease).
That sounds backwards... wouldn't it be 5% ruins the reputation of the remaining 95%?
But if the prop definitions are generated at runtime that means Typescript can't check them at compile time surely? Better than Vue 2 I guess but still not as good as React.

Fair enough on not wanting to break things, but I still feel like it is Vue's second biggest flaw and worth breaking to fix.
As a teacher of high schoolers, I believe this.
Old guys know stuff.

IMO OpenScad is the antithesis of low-brain-space. Learning an entirely new scripting language, API, & environment is just not feasible in my use case

obvious from the barrage of media hitjobs in just a couple of days
I was just remarking the other day while doing my morning constitutional that I can't remember what I used to do while sitting on the john when I didn't have a cell phone. I honestly couldn't remember. Probably just sit quietly and think and be bored.

I wonder if boredom is good for us. Our brains probably need time not to be engaged with our eyes do mental housecleaning. Meditation is good but it's not the same as sitting and being bored.
> Fortnite use is down. iOS downloads are waaaay up.

Why even both making that comparison? It makes no sense.

By definition Fortnite usage would go down unless new users could make up for users now prevented from playing.

iOS just released a new version, of course there are downloads of it as people upgrade their phone OS.

What do these have to do with each other?
Not the end of the world, but the client will have to download it.
It will on or after October 10th, which is when the next version of Webpack is slated to release.
I fully support this principle.

Can you talk more to the practicalities of getting rid of a smartphone? Have you seriously found that the loss of the conveniences they bring haven't been that burdensome? I am really intrigued by the idea but find it almost inconceivable to work for me (which might speak to an addiction, so I feel compelled to understand this further)
I just looked at the sample code you provided. Having no experience with Vue (only React and Angular), but heavy TS user, something came to my eye:

Is it correct that `declare const props` will not only get used to type-check stuff but also emit code based on that?

I think thats unintuitive. TS basically means "take away all the static types and you get what the compiler emits". A lot of developers won't be able to distinguish between TS and the magic that some framework does. I've made similar observations when working with Angular devs.

Correct my if I've mistaken something. /2c

A good approach I think is to put together screen cast demos for work - like with obs studio. After you do that a few times pretty much all your fear of public speaking will tend to go away. It's so easy to do this.
> I reckon even a restaurant with a modern POS system would be problematic to switch to paper, ad-hoc.

it would be slower and a couple more orders might get messed up, but it's not that big of a problem. a lot of restaurant POS systems are just a calculator with a touchscreen that prints two tickets per order (one for the kitchen, and one for the servers) and tells you how much to charge the customer. then the kitchen spikes their copy when they finish the order, and the server spikes theirs after they bring it to the table. on fancier ones, the tickets are just shown on a screen and you "spike" them by pressing the done button. anybody who understands how to do their job in the first place can emulate the digital system on pen-and-paper. in fact, the POS went down more than once when I worked in restaurants, and this is exactly what we did.
Angular is massive - MASSIVE - within large orgs you will have heard of but which I cannot name for obvious reasons.

The twitterati and hobbyist crowd seem to love react, but anecdotally I've yet to see it used seriously at a BigCo, but Ng+TS is everywhere.

"Journal of the Association for Consumer Research" and vague implied effects on mental state both pretty good indicators that this will not replicate. About half of psychology papers don't replicate anyway, the field has been doing some house cleaning, which is awesome, but needs to do a lot more.

I think that's not what's going on here. I think it's one of two things:

1. USA has real intel on China harvesting data to Chinese servers on WeChat and TikTOk and they're filing it away for combing through for weakpoints like blackmail, potential dissidents, contacts in the USA to compromise.

2. Trump is just mad at China and it's a way to get a lot of publicity to show he's tough on them (while meekly staying hushed about Russian interference)

I think both are equally likely.
Facebook is designed to make you think that when it may not be true, you have to be skeptical of your own mind, and skeptical of your own skepticism.
> What makes you think HN users “rely on institutional knowledge” more than anyone else? My experience is exactly the opposite.

I'm guessing it's a generalization from a relatively common great respect for academic science as an institution. However, even that's far from universal, which the pandemic has shown.

I do agree with you. I think there's at least as much overconfident mistrust of institutions than respect for them there.
For bash, add quotes: "${cmd[@]}"

We can hate both. There needs to be both personal accountability as well as proper regulations.
Did Harmony ruin it, or did Logitech ruin Harmony?
> but it was considered a scientific impossibility that UV light does anything to a virus at the time

People never contested that UV light could kill the virus (there were many experiments running at the time, and I think some conclusions too).

The Trump suggestion is stupid simply because UV light isn't selective, and whatever it did to the virus inside your body, it would do exactly the same to your body too. Just like his suggestion of injecting bleach - it would almost certainly kill the infection, just as soon as it would kill you.
It's not really comfortable enough for very long sessions. You really need something as lightweight as a pair of glasses for productivity work, in my opinion. Maybe we'll get there eventually, depending on how mobile SOCs improve.

With enough time and resources, I wonder if we'll one day see a Rust game engine that can outperform these projects.
I'm not against status updates, it's the tracking and clocking in and out like a 1920's factory worker inside my own home that I find objectionable. Even in an office proper, this kind of tracking is a fundamental breach of trust and causes a serious imbalance of power.

I also find framing this kind of thing as somehow benefiting an employee to be so duplicitous I think it is malicious.

Sophistry. Like the bully saying "Why are you hitting yourself?!"

Ordinary coherent conversation is one thing. Inciting a riot etc is clearly a different thing. Because both begin with words is irrelevant.

>The most disturbing revelations from Zhang’s memo relate to the failure of Facebook to take swift action against coordinated activity in countries like Honduras and Azerbaijan, where political leaders used armies of fake accounts to attack opponents and undermine independent media.

Same happened in Hungary and the EU can't give a flying fuck. But honestly I don't blame Facebook, the destruction of independent media is a complex problem not just a political one (adaptation of the market driven by Facebook and Google for example). Especially in East Europe, former soviet block where the kind of venture capitalism of the west/US never really existed. And like a vassal you have to pledge allegiance to the government either formally or informally.

'Pandemic fatigue' leads to resurgence of coronavirus in Europe
Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24304623
Happy to answer any questions! We are just getting started.
US companies have a massive presence in China, utterly unmatched by the presence of any Chinese company in the US. It now looks more and more like large Chinese tech companies, on the other hand, are de facto banned from the United States. The most egregious case is Huawei, which the US not only banned from its own market, but is actively trying to destroy through sanctions. The US is even threatening foreign companies with sanctions unless they stop doing business with Huawei.

Has China ever done something that drastic to a US company? What $120-billion-revenue, 200k-employee US company has China ever sanctioned out of existence?

The striking thing about this trade war is how little China has retaliated against American companies. China could savage a lot of American tech companies that profit massively off the Chinese market. But the Chinese government appears to hope that the US will come to its senses at some point, and is therefore holding off for the moment.
You don't know that your script will run fine anywhere, if you've not actually run it there.

But, still, that's no reason to adopt a mindset of actively wrecking the chances of such success.

(Which is what passive ignorance amounts to, effectively).

People can now buy a haedset for 400$, rather than 100000$. That creates wealth.

That you personally care more about starting a business than about using a VR headset is not really relevant.
There’s a difference between what someone deserves and what’s legal to dole out.

Epic saw a play in breaking their contract strategically and then claiming it was illegal in the first place.

Apple is “unleashing hell”, but the problem is that’s (likely) illegal. It’s going to count as retaliation.
WOW flashback! I absolutely remember doing that, and wondering what "shea butter" was (obviously I couldn't quickly google it).
I think I side with the Buzzfeed management in this case. To me the situation seems analogous to revenge porn. Whether accurate or not, the content was specifically designed to embarrass and intimidate the employee, so propagating it only serves the desires of the sender at the expense of the target.
For the same reason, my ex always avoided food places with TVs in them whenever she could.

I have come up with a rational argument, you just refuse to address it at all. Your argument boils down to 'the PGP people are smarter than everyone else' which I think isn't really even a rational argument.

Quite cool! This is the kind of stuff that might drive adoption among game devs.
somehow this is not surprising at all. :/
Those are exceptions due to scale (and likely bribes to the CCP). If you go as a small/business business person to start a business in China, you absolutely will have to take on a Chinese partner with 51% controlling ownership in the company. They make only very very rare exceptions to that. Then they turn around and say the USA is "unfair".
I have my smartphone and am not the OP, but I spent several years on Windows Mobile which supported almost no apps, so it was kinda like a dumbphone.

I think people often overestimate their need. People act like they can't live without Google Maps, but 90% of them take the same route to work every day. I would argue if you aren't traveling outside your local area, you have zero need for a mapping app. It's true you may not be notified of a slightly faster route because of some unforeseen event, but the difference is probably a couple minutes at most, and you should know your local streets well enough to get along anyways.

There was the rare event where I couldn't participate in some restaurant's rewards program because they only did it via iOS/Android app, and that was annoying, but it also led me to just use that business less.
Specifically what functionality do you feel is so critical? The only thing I really struggled with at first was:

- 2FA codes, but a self-hosted Bitwarden and a Yubikey solved that well enough

- Maps. This is a legitimate sacrifice, especially for someone with as poor a sense of direction as I have. But between the mapping application in my car and looking things up before I leave somewhere on my laptop, it's not been a huge problem.
I get the same thing by A) not watching the news B) turning off notifications for almost all apps C) the real magic key to keeping control of your smart phone, instead of letting it control you is

References are almost in, by next year you can probably already talk directly to WebGL.
But it's clearly not a mass market thing either— mass market is mobile games raking in millions, Switches selling out during quarantine, the upcoming PS5 launch, and Epic having splashy platform wars with Apple and Valve. Those are billion dollar gaming events which all have nothing to do with VR.

There's no non-nerd out there who thinks "maybe I'll try VR", and goes into a store to buy... whatever it is, goes home to have a great time with it, and immediately tells their friends.

Maybe, but you can already use Rust with Godot.
People are quick to jump to conclusions especially when it comes to China but this is more like a half-assed attempt at a cloud account system than anything intentionally malicious.

I guess the idea would be that you'd have an account on their cloud service and it would cache the Wi-Fi password for you so that next time you buy a new smart home device, the client app can retrieve that password (as apps - at least on iOS - are not allowed to access saved Wi-Fi passwords) and automatically send it to the new device so it can connect to your wifi network without having to ask you to type the password.

How do they send that password? Well, they already have a telemetry channel for other reasons (like syncing the local on/off state of the plug with the cloud so local chances to the plug are reflected in the cloud app) so they decided to just stick it in there even though it's unnecessary and wasteful as the password would not change (and if it does, then the device would lose connection anyway so it would require explicit user intervention to reconfigure).
That's an imperative approach, rather than a declarative one. You can't track where the state is being changed if #cars is being changed in many places. Templates are fine for smaller apps but in larger apps it's more difficult, and there'll be more spaghetti code and bugs due to that.
Best thing I've done this year is to simply get a feature phone. They're cheap, they're hardy, and they're mostly free from distractions to give you. This one I have does have an Internet browser and some kind of Facebook functionality but the experience is so incredibly miserable, it acts as a very effective deterrent.
> I can, in theory, at least elect representatives to change the policies of the NSA

Please let me know which representatives have 'reducing power and increasing accountability of the NSA' as part of their running platform in the upcoming election so I know who to vote for. I'll even compromise with 'bring back net neutrality', 'use of encryption as a universal right', or GDRP-level protections of consumer data.
That's helpful, thanks. Just for clarity:
