I (truly) wish these people good luck and hope they find the happiness they seek.

I am from near Tulsa and there's absolutely no way in hell you'll ever catch my family moving back to there. It's hot, humid, comes with tornadoes, you have to drive everywhere (and everywhere is set up on the assumption you will drive). Plus, I will never forget the clerk at the licensing office who, after the rules changed to require "proof of legal status" to renew a driving license, gave my wife shit for having "married up to America" when she presented her green card as proof of status. (Never mind that my wife had been a permanent resident for years prior to us meeting.)

Everywhere has its upsides and its flaws, but at least where I live now has the benefit of the vast majority of people and culture here doesn't want to throw my loved ones out on their ear. Perhaps some of the new arrivals moving there will change that culture. I hope so.
Wonder if the Apple thing was the vendor not upgrading their drivers to be compatible with current operating systems.

Apple has warned developers for several years that support for 32-bit apps (for example) was going away. Same thing with kernel extensions.
Try adding "-stream_loop -1" before first -i argument.
I don't want more people using Linux. Linux is great the way it is today. More users will make everything worse. Guys please stay on Windows.
Odd, I'm using PopOS so it might be honestly something Pop is doing to cause that behaviour.

I also just generally have a major issue with the Linux process scheduler (CFS). It definitely doesn't feel like its suited for desktop use.
You could buy his books on Amazon and gift them to curious people ?
I encountered the same problems when I had a Windows 10 machine in 2016 - every couple of months the thing would shit itself for no apparent reason. The only thing I could do was copy all my personal files to an external disk and reinstall the OS.

My next computer was a bit more stable - but I still had a few nasty scares. Installed Mint and never looked back ;)
Why not running Linux directly?
VMware also commented on trying to work on it.

Good lord. Is it mandatory?
Or Nvidia which at this point in time offers the fastest graphics cards on the market and the user experience is subpar on Linux. I'm back on Windows after 17 years and I can finally enjoy a UI that doesn't lag and hardware video acceleration on a $5000 PC built a couple months ago.
Electron app:

separate alt-tab, tray display
is not throttled because it's in the background (on desktop)
unaffected by browser settings
unaffected by clear cookies
unaffected by extensions
less confusion over who handles keybinds
"precisely zero" was an exaggeration to be sure, but it's rather close to reality.

Look up a Fermi problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_problem

That's a good place to start with these kinds of questions.

I figure this is true simply because of the remarkably low population of Hacker News compared to society at large; there's simply not enough people here for changes to this specific site to make an impact on the larger social media ecosystem.

To be more realistic, I'll estimate that getting the social media platform Hacker News exactly perfect from a systemic standpoint might have an impact on around 0.001% of the societal social media problem. We've then got 99.999% more to impact.

And if you believe that people reading Hacker News are somehow more influential to society than the average social media user or something... well, we would not then have that belief in common.
The statistical evidence shows that the US has become dramatically more social democratic since the 1960s, so any problems that have emerged can be attributed to social democracy, not libertarianism.

See the effect of public sector unions and collective bargaining on public education:

https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/111/3/671/1839...

(copy-pasting)

Every Western nation has massively increased social welfare spending over the last 50 years. Some more than others. Look at the US for example:

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-is-driving-growth-...

Annual spending growth (inflation adjusted) on various components of social welfare spending (1972 - 2011):

>Pensions and retirement: 4.4%

>Healthcare: 5.7%

>Welfare: 4.1%

Annual economic growth over the time frame:

>2.7%

I have to reiterate that this is annual growth. Many people have turned around and said "4% over 40 years is nothing", missing the fact that it's not 4% over 40 years. It's 4.8% every year, over a span of 40 years.

This represents a massive shift to social democracy.

And the shift has been associated with plummeting labour productivity growth, plummeting wage growth, a slowdown in life expectancy gains, and an explosion in single parenthood:

http://web.archive.org/web/20170529115412/https://pinetreewa...

More generally, there's a negative correlation between government spending levels as a percentage of GDP, and economic growth rates. Your implication, that society is better off with high levels of taxation, is not supported by the science on the matter.

The evidence strongly suggests economic development is most rapidly achieved through adoption of pro-market policies.

The last 30 years has seen the largest most rapid reduction in the global poverty rate in human history, and almost all the decline in poverty was due to economic development, which economists have concluded was massively facilitated by the spread of market institutions like property rights:

1. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/07/the-pol...

2. https://www.csmonitor.com/World/2016/0207/Progress-in-the-gl...

3. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2013/06/01/towards-the-end...

There is no reason to assume that this relationship between pro-market policies and high rates of economic growth stops existing for advanced economies.

We see indications of it manifesting across the developed world, like the superior performance of Hong Kong and Singapore relative to other developed economies, or Iceland relative to other Nordic countries, or in cross-European studies correlating low tax rates with high economic growth rates.

Economic growth is the primary source of all improvements in quality of life, so we should have policies that maximize it. It is how an advanced economy comes to be that way.
I was all set to abandon macs for my future computers but they sucked me back in. Damn I can't see myself buying x86 shitters after this.
> religious folks believe life and soul begins at conception

By "religious folks", do you mean "modern Christianity"? Even then, I think it may be less of a given than you realize. For example, Thomas Aquinas wrote that an embryo is "ensouled" some months after conception.
Those are from two images? That's just bonkers.
Hopefully they keep Mx line as power efficient everyday chips, and create something really ludicrous (P1?) for the high end models. It’s about time that the “Pro” devices started being actually pro. Massive cache, on chip ECC memory, etc.

The top of the line’s i9 MacBook really doesn’t cut it for a lot of professional work —- especially when it thermally throttles before the work can even begin.
Like the 10th amendment? The 10th amendment seems to give a lot of leeway to States, assuming their respective Constitutions allow governors to take on emergency powers during a public health crisis which seems to be the case in most states.
As long as they are replaced it's not too much of a problem.
The Ozarks is primarily Missouri and Arkansas. Really only a small area in far east oklahoma is part of the Ozarks.
I agree - but what’s in it for the US?

NATO existed to fight off global communism by keeping the Soviet Union out of Western Europe. This was directly in the US national interest because the US didn’t want to face a pan-Eurasian communist front in a future war.

What does NATO do anymore? The US, as the only global superpower with a homeland separated from any potential, conceivable enemy by the two biggest oceans in the world, is largely invulnerable to invasion. And without an enemy with an energizing ideology behind it, what is anyone allied against?
..and, this is why I love HN. Stumbling into this likely allowing to avoid a big headache.
From a usability perspective I don't really care anymore which OS I have to use. All software I use for work runs in the browser (gdocs, gsheets, gmail, cloud9, slack, discord, asana, zoom, meet)

Only some games and ableton live are missing from some platforms.
For kids (and adults!) the LaapFrog interactive globe is superb.

Not sure how much they've retained, but when they were younger, my kids could pinpoint every country on the globe, and knew the capital of every country.

Edit: The model we had was much less sophisticated than that currently available (no screen or videos). It had, for example, fun speed games where it would name countries and you had to find them on the globe and tap them with the stylus, competing for who could find the most countries in a set time.
dumb occupancy sensors are incredibly unreliable.

Smart code based on MAC addresses seen on my wifi, timer based, power drawn by the wireless phone charger next to my bed, door positions and other things added together is not difficult to code or understand, but very reliable.

If I have all that on the input side may as well have it on the output side.

Some sensor work is utterly trivial. Door position plus sun elevation based on NTP accurate clock equals lights on / off in the laundry room. Position of garage door equals garage extra lights on/off kind like a giant fridge door and its fridge light. The complete set of presence code for my home office is a little more elaborate.
It doesn't switch to a 3D globe for me when I zoom out. I remember that Google Earth used to do this but never Google Maps.
Lockdowns and masks are pretty effective, but being an relatively small island nation with border security seems to be pretty important too.
The biggest problem with a globe is that it is round.

In this case, that means you can’t see all of it at once, which means you’re relying on your visual memory unless you actually pull out calipers.
Wish someone would try this with actual humans. Imagine the possibilities. Super genius.
Have had this experience with Windows 10 and OS X in the last two years.

You could argue the Windows issue is the fault of Samsung's migration assistant or the OS X issue was the fault of my employer's mdm software as both ultimately boiled down a partition layout that the updater wasn't anticipating, but OS X was unable to rollback and Windows _did_ rollback, but then immediately tried again with reapplying the update and restarting as it was past the "No really we're just going to update to the new feature release now" period.
Hydrogen storage becomes quite easy when you forget about H2 for a while and focus on the energy content instead. Add some other atoms into the mix and you get something much more benign with little energy loss. Methane (CH4) is the obvious first candidate because it's so close to what we are used to burn, but ammonium (NH4) is also a good "storage hydrogen" (this one you'd want to split before burning, but it's easier to make because there's far more N than C in the air). Ammonium liquefies at easily achievable -33C or at room temperature under pressures no higher than what you find in certain bicycle tires. Some are even exploring the viability of iron dust as an energy storage medium: it oxidizes quite violently and would be recycled from the resulting iron oxide dust with hydrogen.

So hydrogen electrolysis would be the root of renewable chemistry just like fossil hydrocarbon is the root of almost all current chemistry (where even processes that use hydrogen are sourcing that from fossil hydrocarbons). You can have a "hydrogen based economy" even without any meaningful amount of H2 ever stored or leaving the power-to-x plant.

Usage site H2 applications are a dead-end, that's something I would have signed ever since the "hydrogen economy" proposed by George W. Bush (funny how benign hindsight looks at him post-Trump). Admittedly, back then I was also completely unaware that "hydrogen based economy" wouldn't necessarily mean "H2 to the home", I was just shooting down that idea with basically the same inevitability arguments as yours.
Is it possible they want to start enforcing copyright against all those users? i.e. They see that you don't care about preventing others from using it and want to purchase the right to collect licensing fees from others. (If that were the case, then their assertion that they can easily remake it would have absolutely nothing to do with their ultimate desire and would just be an evasion to put you off the scent of their true aim.)
Yes people not understanding positive and negative freedom is the major educational failure behind the libertarian meme.
Are you comparing the cost to manufacture M1 to what costs Intel to make chips? I have no claim on that but that’s not what I interpreted from the above post. The relevant point of comparison is what Apple can negotiate with Intel for its chips versus M1 total cost.

Please also note that a modern non-M1 Mac included a TSMC silicon (T2) on a similar order of complexity (A10-class) anyway that’s no longer present (albeit at a larger node).
Gorrila mux is actually rather slow, I use pure, which is the stdlib version lars, the fastest http router.
I don’t know about their reliability, but the sheer novelty of recharging them is something else.

I’ve only done it once in six months for the cat feeder and it hadn’t run out.

No fires yet. Presumably the danger would be in the wiring and power electronics. I’d guess the battery is off the shelf, though I haven’t torn one down—they aren’t exactly cheap.

My favorite part is the action on opening the end. It is slightly spring loaded, but also limited, it won’t come apart. Someone clever designed it.

They have other standard sizes as well, but I haven’t tried them.
Really? Haven't really looked into indiehackers, but are you implying that it's mostly a platform for attracting investors through fake growth stories like in the good old crypto days with fantastical IPO's?
I think you can figure it out bud.
Have you looked at AMD Ryzen chips?
I've been using Windows as a daily driver for over 20 years and have never had a virus or malware. For a technical savvy user it's really easy to avoid by just not doing stupid things.
Are you joking? Electrical motors can go for decades before they need replacing if they're built well. Same with electronics. Contrary to HN bits don't rot, electronics fail though over time depending on robustness. Just because you don't update to the latest and greatest every couple of weeks doesn't mean anything if the device you're using is serving it's purpose well enough. I'm not sure where you're getting "3 years and you're done" from.
Outer Space Treaty (1967)
Amazing how normal this is all starting to seem. A private company sends a crew into space. The re-usable booster lands Buck Rogers-style on a robotic boat - without a hitch.
Amazing how far we have come from the decades of macosx where they all looked pretty obvious that a button was a button. This obsession with flatness and completely undiscoverable user interface components without wildly flailing around the UI just to get things to appear (scrollbars, delete buttons on lists in iOS) is so stupid and I hope will disappear soon! Windows 3.11 looks like a work of art by comparison where you had to learn one way of controlling the UI and it worked everywhere.

No wonder people who didn't grow up with computers (elderly grandparents) find touchscreen tablets so baffling from the plethora of bizarre swipes and gestures and not knowing that touching some undecorated piece of text is actually a button and has a side effect. It's stupid.
Linux is great BUT it has a lot of UX design problems every time I have to use it.
I had a co-worker that would say "Only a Canadian would brag about how big Canada is because the majority of it is empty land". What percentage of Canadians live within a short distance to the Canada/US border? 95%? More? This guy also tried to brag about how many Canadians live further south than a portion of the US citizens with Toronto being further south than Portland/Seattle/Minneapolis/etc.

The thing that always impressed me growing up was how big Alaska is after the first time I saw it overlaid onto the rest of the US. A quick web search found a fun site: https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/germ...
Clients, services... the original developer didn't see anything wrong with it, since transactions exist and foreign key relationships make sure the data model stays consistent, right? And you can combine some frequently used methods accessing the database in some helper classes, and if some of the clients use those, that's basically your business logic!

It's a pretty impressive house of cards.

Refactoring (or rather re-designing) this sort of thing while still churning out new features is tricky to say the least.
Huh. So essentially, “I’m choosing to continue to act purely out of self-interest, but with a more well-resolved model of how the long-term societal effects of my actions could negatively affect me.”
How far an electron can travel in a ns is a crazy limiter in computer science.
I find this whole Linux vs Windows thing pointless. I use both and have no real problems with either for as long as I do not try to choose only one. Each has strength and weaknesses and not necessarily technical. I use computers to make living and those non technical reasons are just important for me.

You’re delusional if you think California is the only place that has good weather and isn’t racist
It would have probably died due to the skull not fitting the larger brain.
Oh man thanks! I don't do anything particularly special. I do have a dynamic mic (Electrovoice RE20) with a good compressor (dbx 286s) and that does give a good "radio effect."
I made this video and agree with this comment! Not everyone needs to make a billion dollar startup.
Since 2017 it's actually three timezones, because Punta Arenas got its own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Chile
Not an urban legend, it just happened to a colleague with Windows 10. She is now having to buy a new laptop.
Agreed that Branson is actually a nice place to live. Due to the tourism, it is rather loaded with good restaurants and entertainment like museums, Imax theater, camping, hiking, etc. Though you do have to deal with a lot of tourists and traffic during the summer busy season.

Some areas in Branson even have symetric fiber, I believe even gigabit.

You could probably get a nice house in a gated community on the golf course for $500k+.
Snow blindness seems to come to the UI! And I thought the Windows 10 Settings app was bad but this takes the biscuit.
If Google built it into the OS, it might have enough installed users to use it in what 2025?
Try enabling the globe mode with the top button in the bottom right corner's buttons.
I guess there will be people going to say that QT is LGPL, which allows people to use in proprietary applications. But I think there must be people who just want permissive alternative, and Electron is MIT, so it is indeed more viable (liceise wise).
> I have quite a few European friends on social media and they always seem perplexed whenever racial tensions flare up in the USA. Some even have openly asked "why do Americans find it so hard not to be racist? It's not that hard." ... And without fail, countless Italians warned me to steer clear of the Roma because "they are all liars and thieves"...

Many of the replies to your comment are from Europeans defending their prejudice likewise as "oh but you don't understand, in Europe it's different because you may be surrounded by a gang of people that are clearly gypsy and they rob you, so it's easy to see why!".

But that's the exact same thing with X race in Y country. Such as blacks in America. It's a broad brush stroke based on an experience or group of experiences that eventually paints the whole race that way.
Yeah, that whole approach hasn't really changed at all. I'm not sure how MS could even realistically change it without breaking a lot of stuff, so I think it's more of an example of what to avoid.
Nothing about open source allows you to use an old and unsupported piece of software
Good place to follow the launch, will probably run until docking: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/ju7fxv/
I’m pretty sure Dean Koontz has written half a dozen sci-fi thrillers that explore the ramifications of creating super intelligent animals like this but I never thought it would be possible. Now I guess I don’t have to feel like I need to suspend disbelief to enjoy the story anymore.
IOTLink could be used for this: https://iotlink.gitlab.io/

As far as I'm aware it doesn't report locked/unlocked status, but it does report system idle time which you could use for a similar automation.
I think most local newspapers have about as good as one as any. Facebook Events also has largely filled this.

As a Y Combinator partner for five years, it never failed that some hundreds of applications every single time were for local events startups.
? It's LGPL, so as long as you link dynamically, it's fine for proprietary software to use it. A lot of commercial proprietary software in the VFX industry does this (Nuke, Katana, Mari, Maya, Houdini, etc).
I'm not sure if I'm being overly cynical - but isn't this just a tactic to consolidate the gains he managed to win by discouraging the other side from using his methods? Similar to how challengers decry bureaucracy, but once they become incumbents, wield it as a cudgel to swat down upstarts.
I think this is very unlikely as 1. Apple is still almost required to follow the ARM ISA as a result of its licensing agreement 2. They will regard x86 emulation as a short term legacy issue (developers will recompile their Apps for ARM soon) and so why design and build in extra hardware you won't need long term and 3. Rosetta 1 worked fine without this sort of help.
Right, sorry I didn't make that clear. My message is that the skill of the individual artisan is important and that he/she must be abke to select the most suitable tools to express them. (This doesn't exclude the use of any technology unless it's less effective than more basic approaches.)
What are you smoking? Texas is part of USA. A part cannot be bigger than the whole.

Now, if you said Texas Fact: Texas is larger than the USA, I would have bought into your humor
Doesn't really matter and there is no way to know if the HN poster is the affected person or not.
What we know is that it creates an incentive for affected people to post future problems like that here if we keep giving these posts attention until they are resolved.
What “UI” does a video player even need? Is the pause button prettier or something?
I run Fedora, and update to the latest release about a month or two after it is released. Mostly because my job is with RHEL / CentOS, and Fedora keeps me up to date with what will be in the next RHEL major version. However I should correct my previous statement, that I have weird stuff happen with Wayland, and I give it a shot periodically but switch back to X11. (In my case, "weird stuff" is things like desktop screen sharing not working with MS Teams, or having HiDPI scaling interacting badly with older style X apps such as OpenSCAD -- in that case with Wayland the cursor has a hard time grabbing window edges).
Oh you are super right about customer acquisition. That matters a ton! You should see some of my other videos that touch on that.

But I do think picking an idea from direct experience seems to work extra well, having funded hundreds of startups and seen what works and what doesn't.
