To remove Siri from the touchbar:

System Preferences -> Keyboard

Click on "Customize Control strip"

You then drag and drop items on and off the touchbar. It is a totally inane, unintuitive interface and it took me forever to find it. Also, I couldn't figure out how to change it because the option DISAPPEARS if you're trying to customize in clamshell mode. The touch bar has to be open

I can't tell if it's deliberately bad UX, but I spent months being asked if I wanted to turn on Siri typing on this keyboard...
oof -- I assumed 'schema-driven' meant database schema driven until I read further down

tools to automatically generate crud RPC from DB models + roles, like hasura and postgraphile, are smart and as they standardize will be money savers

protobuf is okay I guess; last time I touched this 12 months ago the mobile platforms didn't have sufficiently good build + typing tools to take advantage
Interesting, when did they start being allowed to admit they even receive a NSL request. I thought that was part of not being able to challenge them in court is that you were not allowed to challenge something you 'never received'.
I notice that you haven't answered my question.
But computing tools are cheaper now than they have been in ages.

You can buy an Atmel dip version of the chip in an arduino really cheap, and build basically what is an arduino on a breadboard. Then get a USB programming adapter (again, cheap) to get it running.

Then you can get in expensive USB logic analyzers that are plenty capable of monitoring I2C and SPI buses and learn how all that works.

None of that existed in the 1990s. It simply wasn't there.

The the price and the availability of tools is so much better today. You don't even need to buy any books, it is all online, with community members jumping in all the time to help.
How are we nowhere close when you can run iOS apps today on M1 ?
The cloud providers are trying to solve this problem - more and more of our customers are purchasing through the marketplace. It allows them to drive down spend commitments to AWS, GCP, etc - it's a pretty good experience all around and enables usage based pricing + easy collections. Which is something all startups hate dealing with.
Some of these mention using "focus stacks". What is that, taking multiple images at different focus depth and combining them digitally?

I agree and I think (c) plays the bigger part for its perfection.
Yeah, I wonder how much of the real US space program is secret military projects.

Keeping much of it secret distorts the public impression of it, when we don't know of a substantial portion of the accomplishments.
Only 1500 here. Although I enjoy the early game very much, I agree that making a base as big as possible is where it’s at. One thing I notice is that most players talk in terms of SPM. I find this curious because I find it hard to get excited about the infinite science sinks, so I think in terms of launches per minute. I guess those numbers don’t sound as impressive?
Measles is a special case in terms of infection. There is a line of thought that exposure simply cannot be stopped, that immunization or inevitable infection are the only options. It is a truly airborne disease. If someone with measles coughs in a room and walks away, people walking through that room an hour later will be infected. The standard for social-distancing for measles wouldn't be 6 feet. It would be something like 600 feet, preferably upwind. I read once about the cleaning standard for clothes or objects exposed to measles. Not bleach. Fire. Lots of fire.

Measles in the past was endemic. Everyone got it at some point. Most survived and so the population was somewhat resistant. But today? Without that resistance it would spread through any unvaccinated population like something from a hollywood movie.
TreeStyleTabs in Firefox (which is a great tool regardless of bookmarking), keeps track of parent/child relationships, you can drag & drop into subsets to create the relationship you're talking about, and has a "Bookmark this tree" feature, which would create a folder with subfolders with the top level named as you choose.

(I use the heck out of this, both for the extra vertical space that comes from hiding the top tab bar, and for the conceptual organization that it provides).
I’m having a hard time finding the source, but a mission requirement of the Space Shuttle was something along the lines of “Deploy a dozen marines to Moscow in less than 1 hour.”
Apple doesn't make anything entry-level. The entry-level is a $150 ChromeBook, it's not "the cheapest that Apple sells".
Our app costs $18 per month and one of our customers said she could buy only using a PO. So, I told her to use it for free till she finds a way to pay by card. We are likely to gain more by having an enthusiastic user, rather than losing her for the stupid purchasing department.
From another perspective, they're both performing the same operation on different types. With what you'd call "destination passing", like

char *buf = malloc(128);
snprintf(buf, 128, "hello");

the function is accepting a pointer to an uninitialized array of char, and initializing the array of char. With what you'd call an "out parameter", like

char *buf;
asprintf(&buf, "hello");

the function is accepting a pointer to an uninitialized pointer to array of char, and initializing the pointer. The caller still controls the allocation of storage for the pointer itself.
>Also, realistically and in comparison to other companies, you really have to stretch to call them public enemy one. There is really no danger of Cargill impacting your life like one of the big tech companies. There are other strong players in everyone of their markets.

You can make the same argument for monsanto, but they get a lot of public flak.
I was tempted as well until I realized it's only 8GB of memory. There's no way i could survive on less then 16 currently.

Such a great point. I feel like this explains the state of Linux desktop in a nutshell, actually.
I feel like macOS asks me about Siri and privacy at login after every major update, with an unskippable setup window, but at least after account creation. Open System Preferences > Siri and disable Ask Siri. You can edit the Touch Bar via a menu in Finder.

What a typical American law and counter response.

As an European is fascinating and mind numbing how much you guys are squezeeing the ones in need through crazy lobbying and sophisticated mechanisms. You keep inventing new ways of paying people less than the legal hourly rate just because you got them by the .....

Then you have a principled, transparent, democratic approach in your congress trying to fix social injustice.

This article was on the first page of HN today with this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25083315

The same step by step, slow moving ratched applied not to systematic genocide but to corporate benefits and squeezing whomever you can for one extra penny. Well done you. Surely you have already forgotten how you ended up with Prop 22 in the first place.
I enjoyed the 2015 EconTalk podcast Greg Page on Food, Agriculture, and Cargill [1]:

> Greg Page, former CEO of Cargill, the largest privately-held company in America, talks to EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the global food supply and the challenges of running a company with employees and activity all over the world. Page talks about the role of prices in global food markets in signaling information and prompting changes in response to those signals. Other topics include government's role in agriculture, the locavore movement and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Doesn't ammonia have a lower boiling point than water? You'd have that in the output after distilling I would think.
I'm really sorry, but have you looked at all the pictures in the author's story? I came up with the same association and took madhadron's remark to be about those pictures, not the author.

If your first reflex is to be 2nd hand offended, maybe you should relax a little and try to not to see hostility everywhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey you guys, it's against the rules here to do promotional voting and commenting, and HN's software penalizes such posts. Best to avoid that, especially in case like this when the topic is likely to be interesting to the community—it will probably have the opposite effect to what you intend.

I'm going to put this post in the second-chance queue [1] because, like I said, it seems like the community may find it interesting to discuss, and also the project hasn't had much discussion on HN for a few years. But please avoid this kind of thing in the future!

I prefer managing my childrens' screen time myself rather than delegating yet another thing to some cold institution or those outright evil companies. Thankfully in my case they are usually more interested in real three dimensional things so there is very little to manage.

In my opinion screen time is like the worst reward for your child. Screens should be treated like inherently evil tools that can be of value if used with awareness.

I think with standard Bluetooth, recording will necessarily kick you to HSP with terrible phone quality. This happens to me on Windows and Linux, with my Sony WH1000XM3s. If there is a workaround please let me know. I am sure there are some non-standard extensions but I don't think my headphones support them.

If you are experiencing "bad" quality on Linux, you probably would benefit significantly from installing the additional codecs. Linux is the only desktop operating system that supports basically all of the Bluetooth audio codecs! But of course, they're patent-encumbered (except Sony LDAC) and thus not typically included by default.
Satisfactory is blowing my mind right now. What a time to be alive.
They are checking the certificate. Not app signatures.
I know that they share code, and that the Oracle Java team commits to the OpenJDK code. If they're actually the same right now, idk, bit it's often been the case that they aren't. It's often been the case that the OpenJDK JRE and the Oracle JRE have different performance characteristics. Oracle JRE 8-10 bundled JavaFX, while there was no JavaFX for OpenJDK (in JRE 11 Oracle open-source JavaFX as OpenJFX).
I wish there wasn't, but I have minor claustrophobia and masks make it worse.

But my understanding is that the vast majority of protection comes from other people wearing masks, is that wrong?
In larger projects bugs are rarely caused by a single person. With many people contributing to a problem in the way of code and reviews. The best way forward is for everyone to own the bug and own any potential solutions.

Ask HN: How can we improve Public Developer Documentation?
Some companies seem to get developer documentation and support right (Stripe, Plaid, Netlify).

While others seems to struggle either outputting content, keeping it up to date or maintaining clarity. (Auth0, Yodlee).

What does HN think the biggest barrier to maintaining healthy public facing docs is?
I think I see the point you are making now. If HIIT to a greater degree prompts less fit participants to drop out than in the other groups, it might skew the results.
Not really sure in what direction though. If it had been a study on the effect of HIIT vs less intense training on cardiovascular fitness, this kind of dropout would bias the results in the direction of HIIT. I have no idea of what effect it would have when the variably of interest is mortality.
We need this compared with the RX 580 running in the blackmagic egpu.

That’s the most relevant CPI compare, given it is the entry level apple endorsed way to boost Mac gpu.

It also helps understand the value of the 580 and Vega on pre-m1 macs.
> Not really, 20 years ago maybe? but now that the first tier provinces have mostly caught up economically it's really just a matter of time before rest of china catches up.

This isn't even remotely true. Taiwan has a GDP per capita of $54,000.[1] The two wealthiest administrative division in China are Shanghai at $38,000 and Beijing at $37,000[2]. Moreover it's not an apples-to-apples comparison because those cities are consistently drawing the best and the brightest from the entire country.

Had exact say learning recently, when I tried MBP 13.3” after almost exclusive use of iPad Pro 12.9”.

That is easily perceptible change. Consider instead the last 20 years. The US now has "papers please" air travel, the police are much more highly militarized, we're under constant electronic scrutiny of all kinds, and we the people have even less of a common understanding of the world, making us less likely to band together to defend ourselves.

That is frightening.

Can anyone explain how exactly this is different? I’m having trouble visualizing it.
I’m glad others out there see it this way. I made a minor mistake, and a former employer and manager used it to make me totally unable to work again by blowing it up as much as possible. It’ll blow back on them eventually, but in the meantime I’ve been made homeless and lost all my friends. Since lawyers are involved and profit from my mistake looking worse than it was, there will never be an honest reconciliation. The court of public opinion is the only way they might be convinced to show some kindness.
It starts off with this extremely neutral and reasonable statement that says nothing about causation:

Screen time and tobacco smoking were also significantly associated with higher frequency of depressed mood.

And then goes on to say "We need to limit screen time" which is a baseless conclusion.

Smoking is known to mediate depression because of what it does to brain chemistry. One medication that gets prescribed to treat depression has such a strong track record of causing people to stop smoking as a side effect that it now gets prescribed for that purpose.

I will agree with commenters here objecting to the framing that "You need to reduce screen time as a means to treat depression." That assumption is unwarranted and not nuanced.

Screen time likely goes up when you are tired and sick. Being tired and sick can help foster depression.

The solution in a case like that is not "You need less screen time." It's "You need to get well and better rested."

When I'm sick and tired, I spend all my time on the computer and/or playing games on my phone to keep myself occupied so I don't go nuts. Taking away my screen time at such times would be a net harm (yes, I know this for a fact).

Granted, I have at times had to make judgment calls about how I spend that time to make sure it's constructive and not a bad habit.
It’s worth comparing this to linear types being a first-class feature in Idris 2 [0]. It’s a hugely exciting direction for FP in general.

I think that kind of depends on how big your lap is - I can work on 15" MacBook Pro just fine, while sitting crosslegged.

And of course also how big the laptop is with regards to screen size. For example, modern Dell XPS 13 has 13.4" screen but is narrower than 12" Thinkpads of old.

And there's a big jump from 16" screen in a MacBook to "desktop monitor" which in modern office probably would be 27" 4k display.

Couple things:

1. Yes, in California only, effective in July of this year. I.E. regulation having an intended effect, increasing worker power.

2. The contract is still between the rideshare company the rider, not between the driver and the rider. An actual IC relationship would give the rider and driver the ability to opt-in to a provider-customer relationship and easily create future contracts with each other. Uber's model (monopoly power) necessitates their involvement, which is basically the source of conflict here. Their model is incompatible with giving the drivers actual independence.
one can wonder what other antigens we decreased the exposure to with the resulting immune system changes like decreased diversity and levels of antibodies present - i mean it may be kind of similar to the effect of living in highly antimicrobal environment which results in weaker immune system with all the allergies and autoimmunes as a result down the road. Even super-healthy people like astronauts have immune system weakening and hypersensitivites developed as result of decreased exposure to diverse antigens:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190123174405.h...

"Scientists compared blood samples of eight crewmembers who completed missions to the International Space Station with healthy individuals who remained on Earth. Blood samples were taken before launch, at several points during the mission and after the astronauts' return to Earth.

The results showed that NK-cell function is impaired in astronauts as compared with pre-flight levels and ground-based controls. At flight day 90, NK-cell cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells in vitro was reduced by approximately 50 percent in International Space Station crew members."
I suspect it's due to competing with the Dell XPS 17 2020. I prefer Thinkpad due to their keyboards and I am a trackpoint user, but if I really needed 16:10 then I would get something from Dell's XPS line. With the LG I'd be taking a risk with ergonomics such as the keyboard and trackpad, whereas I know what the XPS feels like.
Totally agree. I bought the game after the 1.0 release and unlearning my hesitancy to do a first janky build took a while, but it was very rewarding once I got used to it.
Even 3rd world dictators are only cartoonishly evil on a surface level. Gaddafi is a prime example. His "Amazon guard" sounds like it came straight out of a comic book. However, after a decade of civil war in Libya, it's clear that he was the only thing keeping it together in the first place.

Ehh -- I'd just reconsider the 'literally all' part. There are alcoholics who just chase the feeling for itself -- a quick fix for sad thoughts, but not for all. It's a complicated disease, but some with issues crave booze regardless of how they're doing mentally. At least in my somewhat limited experience.
That still seems like agriculture and agricultural products.

This line said level 3 originally, must have been edited; but it doesn't look like it was archived on the IA, so I can't prove it.
I would also point out that most of his troubles stem from the somewhat amateurish approach to using LaTeX. Overfull boxes can be handled by relaxing the typographic requirements. If one desires the typesetting quality of MS Word and quicker builds, this can be easily arranged by manipulating \emergencystretch and such. LaTeX is not an editor, and the use of a carefully designed style would go a long way to eliminate most of his concerns. But proclaiming 'do not write documents in LaTeX, use Word instead' is just subjective garbage, to use his own terminology. Disclaimer: I do not particularly like LaTeX and prefer plain TeX myself.

How to describe Pfizer’s beta(0.7, 1) prior on vaccine effect?
To echo this article's sentiment I have always really disliked the anthropomorphization of the natural world. I think a lot of people think that it's a politically effective tactic, but I think the opposite is true. Getting human beings to even look at each other as being equally worthy of dignity and respect is already a tall order.

Human beings spend a lot more time perceiving the social structures they are in (even when they're not aware that they are doing so) than they do reacting to "objective" reality or nature. A lot of people in the world see themselves as being cast aside or outside the current dominant social structures. Convincing them to make sacrifices for the future when the present already seems irredeemably shitty is a losing political argument. Casting nature as yet another political constituency that they need to pay deference too is foolish.

Messages of hope are the only ones that will work to build consensus (even if hope seems irrational at this point).

Edit:

Personally, I think the only rational message of hope right now is that we should be ploughing as much money into science and technology as we can. We certainly shouldn't take our eye off the ball for dealing with climate change, but it seems obvious that we're going to need some pretty amazing technological breakthroughs if we're going to survive as a species.
> that [only] humans have rights

I'm not dignifying this with a rebuttal; go back and read the second paragraph.

> And reflect on whether you are able to decrease your financial contribution to a system that abuses animals.

Of cource I'm able to. I'm also able to feed lead to toddlers. The relevant question is whether one should, not whether one can.

> the format of the response is problematic

The format of the response is irrelevant:

"Could we all stop infringing copyright?"

"Since you asked, no, but if people stop creating things that are worth watching/reading/etc, I may consider it."

"Could we all stop donating to charity?"

"Since you asked, no, but if they stop doing good deeds, I may consider it."

And so on.

> whether in 50 years we will consider abusing animals as morally problematic as well

Popularity doesn't make something right, and speculations of future popularity definitely don't.
I would love to see someone start Stripe for POs. I work at a University and navigating the bureaucracy just to pay for Asana was an utter shit show. Especially once the university procurement team learned ANOTHER department was paying for it, and suggested we just use their license... smh. In a similar vein, I often opt for yearly billing even not discounted just to not have to submit receipts and proof of purchases every month for the things we are allowed to purchase.
