> it makes sense to show all of Texas in red as soon as it's confirmed to have gone 50.1% to Trump, or whatever.

That only makes sense if a state's area is the same as the number of electors it has, which isn't the case.

If you want to show an electoral college map, you'd show each state in red or blue, with lightness based on the number of electors the state provides.

But, obviously, the intent of a county-level map is not to show electors, it's to show something about the demographic makeup of voter preferences.
The SPLC's entire business model is calling other people racist.

The day they run out of racists is the day they go out of business.

And is you look into their finances, you'll immediately see that their business is extremely profitable.

The whole grievance industry is quite a grift. When one can't find enough racists, one simply creates them out of whole cloth. Either that or get your buddies at Miriam Webster and Dictionary.com to change some definitions around for you. Or simply have sympathetic allies in academia to create a new sociological their of victimhood for you, such as "microaggressions".

The money's so good, I'd consider getting into it myself if I had no ethics. Plus the author of "White Fragility" stole my idea.
The videogame SOMA is a pretty good exploration of this take :)
Ask HN: Will someone rate or analyze each networks election graphics?

Mixing violets and greens makes the spectral curve closer to that of sunlight.

Again, without seeing it in person there is no way to know how much impact this has.

Using a parabolic reflector however is the only way to go since you will not get diffraction or blocking of wavelengths.
The Brother printers I've used all support IPP, which works great from Linux or any other operating system. I would discourage buying a non-IPP printer in any case.
I went though around 4 crappy unreliable inkjets before getting myself a Brother HL-3150CDW. It's been ultra reliable and fast, even though I only print about 2-3 pages a month.

It has a super low-power standby and is always ready.
A computer chip costs $1 billion to make.

Empty platitudes. I wonder why people find them so comforting or interesting.

I like a good quote too, but there’s not much substance here. “Doing the right things”? Everyone feels they’re doing the right things, generally. In fact it’s very difficult to convince anyone to do anything differently.

In fact, to analyze this a bit deeper, what’s the point of the quote at all? Doing the right things is completely separable from doing things right. It’s like pointing out that the sun is warm and oceans are blue. It just doesn’t feel like there’s anything here.

I bet some number of people on HN work in adtech, and that a different number feel they’re doing the wrong thing. What’s the takeaway?
I followed this advice and apparently ended up with the one garbage laser printer that Brother makes. The fuser roller melted and Brother's warranty service was impossible to navigate.

Ended up replacing it with an HP Office Jet that's worked fine for years. I participate in the HP ink hostage program but you know what, it's worth it to me for the hassle it saves.
That's not really what happened, but I guess for some people it's easier to just completely forget the US's and UK's role in this whole mess [0] and how this current situation was already rather predictable nearly two decades ago [1].

It was such a predictable outcome that it triggered the largest global protest movement in human history.

Plenty of people saw the long-term consequences of the US invading a Muslim country with heavily laden religious language coming; How the refugee waves would reignite violent European far-right nationalist sentiments, the occasional disgruntled Islamic extremist attack would pour additional fuel into the fire, a violent and hateful circle steadily escalating.

By now we are pretty much exactly where Osama bin Laden wanted everybody to be: In an open and blatant "clash of civilizations" where US presidents can run on a platform of "Muslim bans" and over a billion people get constantly and casually generalized as being some kind of uncivilized subhumans because of their religion.

Hey Andy, thanks for keeping it real!
I had come across peloton before in my research in this domain as I mentioned in another comment that I am building a product with similar long-term goals. Congrats on the work, would love to see schema also take care of.
It looks amazing already, however another fun thing to do will be to vary the light intensity over time to make it more like the sun.
I looked at this a year ago but unfortunately lost the note I kept.

There was a fellow named Ben Bellamy, who was a software developer, on LinkedIn at one time with a photo that closely matched this guy. I believe he was, in fact, in the New York area but I cannot remember for sure,

I did some poking around tonight but couldn't pull up his LI profile again.
Brother inkjet is still running fine on the original ink fill from over 2 years ago.

How about one for moonlight? My room doesn't have windows, and the nightlights I've tried are too harsh and make it harder to go back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
I like the laser printer that I bought a year ago because it is fast but I haven't had issues with the HP PSC 1410 inkjet printer that I bought about 10 years ago...
Bummer! 10Mbps would make it hard for me to do my job while my kids stream videos or take classes or whatever.

In our area, there was a way to sign up to show interest, which I think they might have used to estimate subscribers, so maybe sign up for that.
No, I absolutely agree with you. It could have been a CAS design, but right it's not. It would take a V3 of the Registry API -- I commented on that in the DigitalOcean thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24983077
It all depends on your personal definitions of 'shiny' and 'work' I suppose. Current GNU/Linux phones unfortunately don’t even clear the ‘work’ threshold for me, and are far from it.

If current GNU/Linux phones work for your needs, that’s great - but sorry to say that you are not representative of all users (neither am I - that's the point, kind of - Android/iOS are mature enough to cover most users' needs). I don’t want to go into too much detail of my specific needs, but let’s just say the deficiencies boil down to (a) vastly inferior power management/battery life, (b) vastly inferior processing power in the current crop of hardware and (c) specific apps/services not being available on the platform (and likely impossible to run via Anbox because of (b)).

I would actually love to jump to a GNU/Linux phone. Less so because of freedom or privacy concerns (they are a factor, but not the dominating factor). More because I prefer the traditional desktop/general-purpose-computing OS way of doing things (file-centric vs app-centric, root access to the entire file system, development directly on the device). I would honestly be fairly happy with Android if it was pre-rooted, imposed fewer restrictions on what apps can do, and was based on a mainline kernel ideally.

I have previously used Ubuntu Touch for about a year on a secondary device, I have a Librem 5 on pre-order, and I follow development for the Pinephone somewhat closely and am tempted to get one. But for the foreseeable future I can't see a GNU/Linux smartphone replacing my Android - I'd see it as a complement to it (a tiny portable laptop).
As a non-American, the first time I heard about the situation with broadband monopolies in the US, it was hard for me to believe! Apparently in huge parts of the country you can only choose one single provider? Is that true just in "regional areas" or in suburbs and urban areas too? Are there stats about how much of the population has no choice?

Edit: the article gives numbers in terms of how many people have access to broadband (and how many haven't) - but what I'm asking is different - what percentage of the population can connect to one and only one broadband provider, based on their location?
I think the idea is that "Doing things right" is doing things the way they are supposed to be done. I think of the HBO show Rome where Pompey is moaning to other characters about how all his actions in battle were "perfectly correct" and he couldn't believe he had been defeated despite what was perfectly correct.

Managers, nominal leaders, in other words, focus on doing what they perceive they are supposed to do. Contrast that with true leaders who focus on doing what actually matters - i.e. the right things.

If you are interested in results, you have to pursue what actually matters and not just what conventional wisdom says, or what people say. You also have to be willing to risk "doing things wrong".

Maybe that's a platitude. Maybe it's a useful heuristic for some people to ask "Am I trying to do the right thing, or am I trying to do things right?" Probably depends on what your prior beliefs and attitudes are.
Wow. For some reason I thought it is already product on market with ton of alternatives. Fascinating.

It took me an embarrassingly long time before I learned I could digitally sign PDFs (literally draw my signature). After this discovery, I've not had any need for a printer.

There should be a "I know what I'm doing" switch that disables a bunch of restrictions and essentially enables full root privileges for your user.
Signed Git pushes for Linux kernel development server
The grandparent of my post was:

>> FreeBSD's point of distinction is that it's carefully designed and fitted together, compared to Linux's comparatively heavy use of glue.

To which was offered:

> Well Linux is just a kernel, so it's a bit unfair to call it glued together...but the rest (a ditro)...lot of glue and clay...sometimes also pure mud.

So I pointed out that it is fair to call it glued together, because there's no other way to use Linux except with glue. This is applicable to any of GNU/Linux, Busybox/Linux, etc.

I cant wait for some desired-state engine to be built on top of this. This is nearly perfect but having it so you can just describe this as json/yaml (and then generate those from your own abstractions) instead of using Rust to describe these will be amazing.

There are people I'd rather see as President but given the two choices Biden is easily my preferred candidate. I'd also like to see political discussion focused more on substantial issues. I also dislike it when people attack one candidate for something while ignoring their preferred choice doing the same thing.

Do you honestly believe that the reasons you asked about are the only reasons someone would support Joe Biden over Donald Trump? I'm not a fan of Trump but I certainly don't think everyone who supports him does it because they're either crazy or family.

I completely disagree.

First of all most of us can’t predict the future. Decisions still require execution in the meantime. Waiting for increased confidence can result in lost opportunities.

Secondly, doing things right and doing the right thing imply completely different scenarios. For most people doing things right is often a matter of selection bias resulting in something popular at the center of a bell curve. That is sacrificing greatness for safety. Doing the right things is a matter of greatness. It is a matter of achieving the best outcome from a given opportunity as viewed in hind sight.
Then you need to vary the spectra as well.
I found Termux a while ago, and thought it was interesting. then I found you can run python, ffmpeg and youtube-dl on it, and now I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm still to try to run Jupyter on it, but I think it might be able to.

As all my computers run Linux these days, it also has replaced all my "from-x-to-android" transfer apps.
They are the best options for home users. But I’ve had businesses buy them and they will last about 5,000 pages and then they either fail completely or you spend more money on a new fuser than the printer costs.

Worth it, though. Most will replace it every few months if they are using them to print a lot.

They seem to be a novice programmer with big ideas. Some notepads might be missing (see pg 11). I really wish the scans were better.

1-2: Ideas for a screeps AI. (Screeps seems interesting! From a brief look, it's an open-source online MMO/RTS for programmers. It's seems kind of like an AI tournament akin to Battlecode, but persistent. You write your AI in JavaScript or WebAssembly.)

3-5 (top half): Unclear. Maybe from a game idea? Maybe part of the screeps AI?

5 (bottom half) - 6 (top half): CPU time calculation for screeps?

6 (bottom half) - 10: More screeps notes.

11: A table of contents for the notepad(s). Not clear what "3s" refers to. t I think it's the name of a game he wants to make. Seems like some of those notepads might be missing?

12-15: Idea for a peer-to-peer backup/storage system.

16: "BLL", a programming/scripting language, probably short for "B... L... Language".

17-18: Nutritional wafer/bar notes. (Probably for an "all-in-one" hiking food.) The mention of "future" and "no allergies, minimum ingredients, natural ingredients" makes it unclear whether this was something he tested, or just an aspiration.

19-33: More Screeps AI notes.

34-40: "Nanites guild". Either a full game idea, or from a game he wants to make and that he provisionally titled "3s".
ePrivacy talks about "information stored in the terminal equipment", which includes any information you can get from the device. For example the user agent, location, and operating system. It's not about the information itself being essential or not, but what you do with it: is it for essential purposes (consent not needed) or non-essential purposes (consent needed).

I don't really mind.
My parents still have an HP LaserJet 4 series printer. As long as you are just printing text that thing generally works great (some PDFs seem to max out the buffer and take forever to print). It will be interesting to see how long their much newer HP all in one laserJet lasts in comparison.
I generally agree at a local/municipal scale but that generally doesn't scale well and is often relatively unstable if it is not operated as an mostly isolated entity given the strong conflict of interest of officials involved easily and often leads to regulating private industry out of existence.
The difference is that oil was already under long term pressure. Peak oil has been waiting to happen for a long time, and it's the risk nobody thought relevant that finally broke things.
Amazon does not need to make a profit off of books, for a variety of reasons. It can therefore sell them at a much narrower margin, or no margin, or even a loss.

Other booksellers generally don't have the many additional sources of funds that Amazon does. So if they compete with Amazon on price, they lose money and go out of business. And if they don't compete with Amazon on price, customers go to Amazon and the bookseller still goes out of business. Bit of a rock and a hard place for the booksellers.
I set something similar to this (didn't to be blue light scattering) for a friend who suffered from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) but had to stay living in Washington state for job reasons. They already had a basement with two sky lights and we used Cree 95 CRI LED stripss with a "2d parabola" (they were re-purposed from a concentrated solar project). It didn't do the 'sun at a distance' effect either, but the light quality was enough to get them through the winter while staying productive.

Primary: File management. I tend to prefer the command line for that kind of thing. Includes occasionally rsync-ing or scp-ing stuff to and from servers, and modding a few games I have on Android (Beamdog's Enhanced Edition mobile ports of old CRPGs).

Secondary: Study programming - I am a self-taught programmer, and before the pandemic I would study a lot on public transit, in coffee shops, while waiting for people etc. This actually used to be the primary use case before I started working as a professional programmer and was also using breaks to study. Android/Termux is not really suitable for actual dev work (e.g. you'll probably need Docker at some point if you're doing backend, and you'll want a browser with dev tools for frontend), but for limited study projects (especially backend dev) it's absolutely awesome.

It's also my SSH client to access a few servers I keep privately, but this is a feature that certain dedicated apps (e.g. JuiceSSH) could do equally well or better, and I'm just using Termux because I already have it.
What graphics backend does this use? I can’t seem to find one listed after a quick search.
Your sarcasm and hostility disproportionate to this discussion. I wish you well with whatever you are going through.
You get the 1 year license even with the $99 ECP5-5G evaluation board, so not a very big deal.. just keep buying boards until the open source stuff is complete.

Lattice parts are cheaper, so better for your profit margin. Lattice chips are available in some smaller packages if that matters to you. Diamond is OK, but I would not trust it with very full or aggressive designs, Vivado and Quartus are better. On the other hand, Lattice uses Synopsis Synplify for synthesis, which is very good.
Absolutely. Went through several inkjet printers and all they did was raise my blood pressure.

Finally wisened up and bought a (Brother) color laser ~9 years ago and it has been flawless.

Aging might be optional but malignancy is mandatory. If you live long enough eventually cancer will kill you.
Agreed. Inkjet makes little sense. I’ve had a $60 (on sale) Brother laser printer for 10+ years. I finally had to buy new toner just this year. Still prints like the day I bought it.
Too right!
Just buy a decent printer. My brother DCP-9015 colour laser is doing OK, and gets treated a bit rough too!

I have a printer story for you young whipper-snappers.

Back in the day I worked for Sun. They had a laser printer called the SPARCPrinter that did all the rasterization on the workstation - which made the printer very inexpensive, but it bogged down the workstation when printing.

We often played flight simulator after work (ok, sometimes during work) where you could fly an F-15 and go shoot your buddy out of the sky.

There was a sys admin (Keith) who was an absolute ace. If Keith got on your tail you were basically dead. Keith would win all the time.

But Keith had a weakness. The SPARCprinter was attached to his workstation....

So if Keith got on your tail, we discovered that we could send a nice big print job to his workstation. That was usually enough to shake him from your tail and escape.

The virtual equivalent of chaff I suppose

That's an awful reason to block a PR. I've been doing code review for the past 6+ years and I'm on the other side, I often ask for better, and longer code comments, for the reason you highlighted, 5 years later (or even months later) that long comment will save us hours
Anecdotal evidence of course but I’ve had nothing but success with Brother ink jets. I’ve had my current Brother business class printer for over six years now. It’s huge but it prints on ledger size 11x17 paper (nice for flowcharts). It works great with cheap Amazon generic ink cartridges as well. Even the scanner is reliable. Half the printers I’ve used require all sorts of incantations to get the computer to recognize the scanner but not the Brother.
So what, then, are you accusing Bitchute of hiding?
What made those computers cool was that you could do things with them than you could NOT do with the run of the machine. Yes, today is a bit boring, but we've all got super computers on our desks. This is awesome.
