We don't think so, a very important property of gravity is that it interacts with everything in the exact same way. This property is behind Einstein's Equivalence Principle and in turn on our ability to interpret gravity as curvature of spacetime.

Metamaterials with special properties under the gravitational interaction would break this. On the other hand, violations of the Equivalence Principle could point into ways of achieving it.

Probably a dev having fun showing off what theming can do. I could see myself doing that if I needed an internal example of how much the themes could change.
That's common for generated code, though. It makes it so that the other code can always use "else if".
That being said, while I think the DPRK is probably the worst, I believe the longest running dictatorship is probably Saudi Arabia or some other kingdom.
I'm just speculating but maybe we could build a space station inside, using the shell as a natural radiation shield (apparently most asteroids contain material which can at least be made to be used that way).

There is also of course the immense flex factor for any organization that manages to pull off creating a new moon.

Over the last few years I made the transition to this kind of schedule, to the point now that I no longer use a calendar.

If you can make it happen it’s one of the most productive and positive schedules I’ve ever gotten to work in. You feel free, you get more ideas, you can take the time to execute. One big todo tends to emerge by itself, which lets you focus throughout the day.

This is coming from someone who was super GTD too. [1]

One of several presentations Microsoft had XDC, no less. Yes, the X.Org Conference.

They basically souped up the FreeRDP Weston backend (plus a bunch of glue to make it more magical, and some buffer sharing stuff with VMs)
Ask HN: Do you provide fallbacks for CSS Grid?
Support for CSS grid is good (https://caniuse.com/?search=grid) and is my goto layout method - but I still tend to code fallbacks for older browsers ( basically IE11 still lurking!. That CSS code tends to be ugly and tedious - most times using CSS columns when appropriate.

Are other frontend dev's doing the same, or just letting old browsers die ungracefully?
That didn't happen in the 90s, when MS actually pursued it and Linux was a tiny newcomer.

Cool idea! I used to run a kinda similar company in the video space. A few questions:

Any plans to help with fraud? This looks like voluntary parting, so most insurance companies won’t help with theft.

If you hold a deposit and it ends up being a stolen card, you have to refund the money. Or Stripe will take it back when the card owner reports the fraudulent charge.

Some advice:

- take more than 10%, account for some of that money going to fraud cleanup

- if it’s an item you don’t want to have to replace, do as many anti-fraud checks as you can. Four years ago Stripe wasn’t enough: a combination of Stripe/Sift Science/in-house heuristics made the problem easier

- make sure you have proper legal protections in place. If a rental shop gets hit big with fraud, it’s not unlikely that they’ll sue you

I know these seem like problems to solve for way in the future, but I started seeing fraudulent attempts almost as soon as I started seeing rentals.

Good luck!
The author also mentions LCD damage from SoC heat. Could it lead to a runaway from that side?

Last time I read about PinePhone, the topic was kill switches hardwired to chip enable pins that also make it impossible to sleep peripherals from main SoC. That was only “weird but okay”, but personally, with this discussions going, this phone and associated ROMs aren’t something I consider anymore.
Yeah, pretty much. I don't think they're trying to do the embrace-extend-extinguish thing here at all, at least not in a "willful" way.

Devs I know of that use macOS do it for the "Linux without the jank" aspect - essentially as an "it just works" quasi-Linux distro. If Windows could provide the same experience, or at least a very similar one, I do believe a good number of devs 'raised' on Windows would stay. In my lifetime, I've seen more people convert from Windows->macOS due to wanting to do dev work in a "Linux-like" environment than anything else. It makes sense for MS to want to mitigate that bleed-off.
Main use case for WSL is to use Windows desktop and run Linux based development tools. Many tools are mostly developed/used on Linux and Windows support can be lacking.

This enables also using Linux based IDEs and other graphical tools (could be for example some command line tool popping up image viewer) or browser.
Can't you see the word "believe" ?
There are many articles/news that say Microsoft is loving open source. So,i genuinely hope that, in the long run, All Microsoft softwares can run on almost all platforms thus blurring the need to dual boot to second OS( for ex., A person who runs Linux can use Microsoft Excel, Word without dual booting to Windows) . That's win-win for users as well as Microsoft.

I didn't claim any false things nor did i preach bad stuff. I just preached the importance of OS freedom that many dream.That was intention of Microsoft as well which loves open source.

Obviously. The OP said you need to look to the incentives to see what’s actually happening.
> Even pessimistic answers to those questions turn into optimistic projections given the scale of the universe.

I used to believe this too, but the universe is not actually that big -- taking some not-so-conservative estimates, let's say there are a trillion galaxies, each with a trillion stars.

If a couple of the terms in the Drake equation turn out to be 1-in-a-trillion, the odds of finding intelligent life no longer look so good.
Have you managed to get an icon you can double click to open? I have to start WSL shell, `emacs &` then ^D. Not a huge pain, but would like a Taskbar icon
Those are good points but I agree with the other commenter that these are just difficulties with asynchronous programming generally. I like that Rx makes reasoning about those issues more straight forward and something you must handle instead of something that will bite you later if you didn't think through it.
Thanks, haven't watched the whole thing but I like what I see. I also like that this isn't WSL specific. You can do it from a real linux-machine or VM from another host. It also adds wayland applications and not just X11.

Hope that this is something that will spur some wayland->wayland equivalent (since they base it on weston it might be possible to reuse a lot).
Unlikely. EDI was introduced around the 70s and is still used today with no signs of going away. Those documents are being transferred over FTP.

I’m working on trying to abstract away retailer and sales channels’ methods of communicating with distributors (EDI/CSV files over FTP, REST/SOAP API endpoints), and the number of retailers using FTP, even Amazon and Wayfair, is mind boggling.
It's a theme from the Windows XP source code leak. Obviously it's going to be uncredited; it was never intended to be seen outside Microsoft. This was probably a developer messing with the theme engine to see what it could do and to test its limits.
It's handy for those of us that use Linux, but also need to use things like Adobe tools, Visio, a decent Outlook client, etc.
Proposal for "Embeddable fields" in GraphQL
Docker only runs on WSL
Exactly. Let's make removable the piece that is the most industry standard compliant. The pieces that maximizes the flexibility of "the appliance". If GB came first, I'd agree with you. As we know, it did not.

But instead let's force feed - oops, I mean ship - and bake in a product (i.e., GB) that was half-baked technology implementation and barely an afterthought in terms of user experience. (Note: UX in this case includes all the devs who were begged to jump on board, and then jerked around like a puppy on the leash.)

WP core should be a service. Lean, tight and clean. Tightly coupling more and more likely unnecessary features to that doesn't help anyone. Trying to maintain that monolith is overly complicated. And so on.

We have the plugin architecture. If it's broken, then let's fix it. If it needs some sort of dependency manager, then let's talk about thst as well.

But Gutenberg? That makes 2020 look like a summer holiday, and we all know how bad 2020 has been :)
Super pedantic comment...

The Teletype shown in the picture is of a 5 bit model (ASR-32) not the 8 bit ASCII model (ASR-33) used for the early computer networks. The simple keyboard with Letters and Figures shift keys give it away.
I would look into paleo diets like the autoimmune protocol(AIP), the idea behind them is that removing certain foods is a lot more important than adding them for that sort of condition.

Currently use a paleo/ketogenic diet to manage IBS, and fortunately blueberries (and other low sugar fruits) can fit into this sort of approach.
> No, the malfunctioning 737-MAX flight control software was NOT developed in India. The Boeing apologists on reddit have been making up those claims for months.

I think you are using the word "apologist" backwards.

An apologist is someone who defends something, so a Boeing apologist is a Boeing defender.
Why not have an intro tutorial when opening emacs for the first time?

Why is this clearly not ideal? I think you're being overly critical of the production. If the format isn't ideal for your consumption, you don't have to watch it.
>It also makes sense if you want to keep developers from switching to Linux desktops

Well, the huge majority of developers didn't switch en masse to Linux desktops for like 3 decades. The Linux desktop stats were still meagre, even right before WSL. It wasn't about to happen now...

This is more about making existing Windows using devs life easier for working with Docker / etc to develop for the Linux-driven server side (which has been a think for 2+ decades), than about preventing them from switching to Linux.

If anything, this is the opposite. It helps introduce the 95% of Windows using devs to Linux and UNIX userland while they're still on Windows -- which could serve as a gateway to using Linux directly.
Enthusiasts that consider Linux plebian over Macs? You mean fanboys.

I consider myself much more elite with my 500$ refurb thinkpad running Linux with i3 than anyone I would ever see owning a Mac. And it's far easier to show off with a machine only very few even know how to use.
The article suggests that it was being used to test theming. In other words, it was not intended to ship. It is probable that it would be shot down if anyone proposed shipping it. (Why elicit a lawsuit from a competitor over something trivial?)

Given that, why would they go to the effort or recreating the whole visual appearance. The actual "feel" part was unlikely to be within the scope of the project.
Scala also shines for this style of development. Sealed traits and case classes (algebraic data types) are a nice way to express many different types of data models, including polymorphic types and state machines (its surprising how many "hidden" state machines live in your objects via Boolean and Enum fields).

I found this book very helpful in terms of thinking in a more functional type-driven way: https://www.manning.com/books/functional-and-reactive-domain.... It does eventually get into some deeper functional programming concepts but its still a nice read and easy to get into for anyone coming from more traditional object oriented coding.

But it is actually true, there are proposals to use the sun as a gravitational lens to take picture of planets hundreds of light-years away with resolutions of kilometers to tens of kilometers. Actually building such a telescope would however probably be very challenging with our current technology as it requires sending satellites far away from the sun, several times the current distance of Voyager 1. Here is the first article [1] my search found. I did not actually read this specific, so I have no idea whether it is any good but it should provide enough information to search for additional information.

Facebook (and others, but this thread is about FB) is in need of serious government intervention. I say this as a firm believer in small government, which, of course, does not mean no government, just the absolute minimum necessary government and, yes, regulation where necessary.

FB's refusal to recognize the damage their algorithms are causing the entire world borders on the criminal at this point.

It's horrible stuff. I've written about this on HN a few times. It's one thing to be driven deep into a deep mono-thematic cave if you are looking for bathroom tiles or laptops, it's quite another when the subject matter is in the realm of politics and hatred.

Over the last several years I have watched two of our family members self radicalize on FB on opposite ends of the US political spectrum. One hates Trump with a passion and the other democrats. In all cases that is all they talk about, and with a level of hatred that is impossible to imagine. They also ceased to have a relationship in real life. These two were as close as could be, father and son. It's truly sad. FB destroyed a family.

Sure, they had their ideological bias prior to being grabbed by the FB algorithm, but they could talk about it at the dinner table and laugh. FB used that against them and took them to the absolute limit, a limit they do not seem able to escape. The extended family tried to help them. It's like drug addicts or alcoholics. We would have to sequester them to an island without access to the internet for a month or more in order to reset their brains and bring them back. In other words, its impossible.

For all their AI prowess it is amazing to see just how bad platforms like FB and Google are with regards to not taking people on these self-radicalizations tours of the internet. And, of course, politicians are so clueless about technology that they can't even begin to ask the right questions during congressional hearings, much less understand what they have to fix.

So, yeah, it would be great to see at least one place on earth take a strong stance on FB to at least force the conversation and start fixing the problems. Life would not stop in Europe if FB evaporated from the continent.

This! I’m still on WSL1 and plan on moving to WSL2 during my next Sabbath month.

WSL gives me access to all my regular devops and developer tools + Linux shell while I don’t have to reboot for gaming and music production.

I switched about 1 year ago. Windows is now again a solid OS choice for developers and I expect lots more developers to make the switch with the recent and upcoming MacOS changes.
Hey everyone, I've added support to what I call "embeddable fields" on my GraphQL server:

```
query {
posts {
description: echo(value: "Post {{title}} was published on {{date}}")
}
}
```

I'm currently trying to find out if the GraphQL community would benefit from this feature. If so, I'll propose it for the spec, but as an optional (similar to cursor connections).

I've written a long post describing this new feature, which is the link I've shared. I've also started a discussion on /r/graphql:

https://www.reddit.com/r/graphql/comments/j043rw/proposal_fo...

Please be welcome to give your feedback, here on HN or there on Reddit.

Thanks
I haven’t, it’s interesting to hear feedback from those who haven’t. Whenever I rent a car, I pay in advance online, and then pay a security deposit/they put a hold on my card in the store. Presumably a feature like that would address your concerns here?

Take it seriously, I've used this one and OPs to earn quite a bit more money.

The most important thing these authors are trying to teach isn't dogma to repeat verbatim, it's an overall mindset and high level strategy. And you're right that know one you know talks like that... So don't, make it natural by tailoring the phrases to your needs, it's a framework with examples not something to memorize.

Another good one is:

It's certainly less refined but provides a rough draft on how to play offers off each other. I found his wording slightly rude in his text examples so I mixed and matched strategies with the other articles and adapted the wording for my needs. I ended up negotiating a 50% salary increase and a signing bonus by using this strategy.

If you want rock solid proof that the company they are outsourcing to sucks and quality is going to drop, you aren't going to find it because that's the entire point of this move.

But ask yourself how many times quality has gone up after outsourcing critical operations to a group of shell companies based in a low regulation polity.

Also ask yourself why a safety and reputation critical company seems to have a corporate structure indistinguishable from one used to dodge legal liability in tax evasion cases.

TikTok is filled to the brim with hate and, from my perspective, anti-American rhetoric.

My partner uses it and shows me a lot of these things. "All buildings matter" trended on 9/11, and yesterday there was a large group of young, voting-aged adults joining a pact to not vote.

I'm disheartened by a lot of the stuff I'm seeing on TikTok. Then again, I have the same reaction to Twitter.

If China can tweak the knobs and radicalize our youth, then this is extremely dangerous. I think it's impossible to say whether or not this is just emergent network behavior or if it's selectively being curated. If the administration had evidence, though, I think they'd be talking about it.

Edit: the repeated downvotes for saying anything about China don't give me confidence. Why not offer a rebuttal instead? I haven't said anything controversial.

Edit 2: Flagged too, huh? Is having an open and frank discussion dangerous? I'm an earnest contributor acting in good faith. This isn't the right way to go about things.

Depends upon how you define Personal Computer and what time-frame you look at.

So if you define a personal computer as a computer people use for personal tasks as a tool, then a mobile phone fits that. In that definition and if you look at all the years history wise, It does look like Nokia have sold the most computers for personal use. At least going by the numbers sold per manufacturer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_mobile_ph... and mobiles selling way more than other forms of computers.
Yep. I’ve used darcs for at least a decade. The mental model is just so straightforward, I simply never wrestling with it. It does exactly what I want with very little thought. I’ve transitioned to git this last year and my head hurts constantly.
