You wish. Like Microsoft (also never paid the ~$1B fine) they are still trying to weasel their way out of this one. https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-is-still-fighting-a-10-year-ol...
This feels like a positive basis for a civil society. Trying to practice a communication, of what is valuable, to & with each other. Somewhat broadcast, somewhat going further.
Did previous generations benefit from better mental and physical health than we do now.

There are a large number of differences between the past and the present. It's really hard to talk about comparisons between the past and present and try to boil it down to a single metric.

Many years ago, a friend and I were talking and I was making sort of the same argument you are making -- that things are better than they used to be. And she stopped and said something like "I'm not comparing it to the past. I'm comparing it to what I think is possible given present day knowledge and technology."

And she also said something about "low standards" or "low expectations" -- like "Why should we settle for this crap just because the past was worse?"

And that really stuck with me.

I have gotten off all drugs for a condition where that isn't supposed to be possible and that strongly shapes my views and opinions in ways that I can't back up with studies or the like to the satisfaction of other people. But I'm convinced we can raise the bar and do better than this and one path forward is to begin thinking more broadly about the fact that "life is chemistry" and stop acting like a pill is the most important and powerful means to interact with human biochemistry when it's really just one of the most convenient ways to manipulate biochemistry that is profitable in our current economic arrangements.

You need two pieces:

1. Something to stream the video over the network (like https://github.com/mpromonet/v4l2rtspserver).

2. A 'driver' for your desktop operating system that can take the stream and present it as a (virtual) webcam.

Superconductors are also used for thermal reasons. Generating strong magnetic fields through high current in a resistive material will put out a lot of heat.
I expect any reason for me to go to a hospital to basically cost me $30k+ without insurance. My plan is to go to the hospital and then declare bankruptcy and hope I don't need to go to the hospital again for another 7 years. I deliberately make lifestyle changes to avoid hospitalization. I don't ride bicycles or motorcycles. I don't play sports. I don't do manual labor or work with saws. I don't drive at night (not sure if this is any real difference but it makes me feel safer).

This is the life I have in capitalist America. I'm afraid to do basic things like ride a bicycle in fear of it financially crippling me to the point that I'm incapable of paying rent and becoming homeless
Ah exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch!
Yes, that was my ultimate solution. I tried a different auto-complete plugin previously and it was disappointing which is the reason I've been on VSCode for so long.

Do you have your setup documented? I have been checking out Vim for TypeScript once a year or so and have not had complete luck, with plugins either requiring specific versions of Python and modules or just being unstable for the more advanced features.

I love the HN community and I love Bitcoin. It's like having two really good friends that you wish you could hang out with together but for some reason they just seem to hate each other.

I see the fifth (my fourth) great Bitcoin bull run approaching and there is no reason HN shouldn't have a chance to be in on the ground floor this time.

It's not intended to be a definitive test. The first test usually isn't genetic.

It's purpose is prescreening to decide who to refer to larger medical facilities for more definitive testing. For rural clinics dealing with people where referring someone to a large hospital in a big city involves expensive travel, being able to prescreen helps prevent financial hardship for local families.
Animo hit the market a decade earlier, and was used by many of the big studios. There were some other automatic tweening packages pre 99 whose names I no longer remember. I learned this during a brief internship with a non profit that made educational videos.

Edit: yeah, googled around and remembered another one. RETAS came out in Japan in 1993, and is largely responsible for the uptick in quality of anime around that time.
> However, it is entirely implementation defined what that 1 refers to.

Not entirely, there is a vague description of what a byte should be able to represent.

The C and C++ programming languages define byte as an "addressable unit of data storage large enough to hold any member of the basic character set of the execution environment"

I Love Ed on CP/M
Where are you? Here in Maryland gold level plan for a single person age 36 making $35,000 a year is about $250/month, with $1,750 deductible. In France or Germany, you’d pay about 10% of your income in health insurance tax, so this is quite comparable.
FWIW, I found out about CoC on a recent thread here on HN.

For out code base, having Jump to Definition and refactoring is more-or-less essential.

You don’t even need to declare bankruptcy. Most hospitals will just write it off if you talk to them and work it out.
No, I did not. Masks are around 67%[0] effective at protecting the wearer, but that's not enough to actually stop SARS-CoV-2 quickly, assuming it has an R0 somewhere around 3[1]. You cannot go about your day to day life like normal, wear a mask, and think you are doing your part, because 33% of 3 is still around 1, which means the number of infected will not be shrinking very quickly if at all.

You MUST stop going to large events, visiting friends and family indoors, going to restaurants, and work from home if you are able. This cannot be stated enough. Masks are necessary but not sufficient. They are neither 100% effective, nor effective enough to rapidly control SARS-CoV-2, unless used in conjunction with other measures.

Those can't replace iCloud because they are free. Write the sftp/rsync script and then throw money in the garbage to accurately replace iCloud.
I don't think these are the same thing. Donating to the Sherriff's reelection campaign is a lot closer to a bribe than donating to a university, because the Sherriff is benefiting personally a lot more than the head of a university is from a donation to the school.

It would be more analogous if the donations were somehow made to the Sherriff department's budget.
If you can’t get 4-aco but have access to mushrooms, search around for “lemon tek”, or “blue juice” cold water extraction. It can get you the psilocybin/psilocin without the body effect of chewing on mushrooms. Still not as easy to dose precisely as pharma grade, but don’t discount the entourage effect which could be as rich an area of research over the next few years as cannabinoid research is now.
An unnecessary solution for an inexisting problem.

I hope they lose their investment.

I also hope all their hordes of fanboys wake up to reality now. Yes, the people that "<3 open source" and "<3 Linux" and gave you VS Code for free, will now own your CPU now and you have nothing to do about it. And then, if they change their mind and don't want you to run Linux, you won't run Linux.

That's great and all but has no bearing on whether the intruder is a thief or a robber. Even in Texas. They have to offer violence or threaten it to be considered a robber. Otherwise they're a trespasser or thief.

If you don't like this, take it up with the dictionary. Sorry for the bluntness but this is getting a bit ridiculous.
What? You expect the VSCode maintainers to write up a lengthy explanation for why they have to mark every one of their 100k closed issues as closed? Are we really ascribing malice because they didn't do that once?

C'mon, can't we be above this sort of behavior?
SublimeText's author single-handedly supported windows,macos and linux from the start, what was Microsoft's reason to choose electron? I have never used ST and Microsoft probably picked electron to capture the huge web development market and also provide a cloud IDE for it's cloud offerings, but it's worth noting that vscoded is touted as an "exemplar" electron app only because a big well funded team is doing thousand and thousands of micro-optimizations all the time full time.
I disagree with the idea that Ruby on Rails is dying.

Lets take a look at some popular repositories on Github in the last week:

Rails - 13 merged PRs, 15 open PRs, 23 closed issues, 8 new issues with an average of 45 commits per week in October 2020.

React - 8 merged PRs, 17 open PRs, 20 closed issues, 8 new issues with an average of 13 commits per week in October 2020.

Vue - 2 merged PRs, 2 open PRs, 5 closed issued, 5 new issues with few commits happening in October 2020.

So I don't see Ruby on Rails dying.
I posted a little about it in another reply on this thread, I use ALE for JSLint/ Prettier integration and for Code Completion and quasi-IDE like features I use CoC.

Configuring CoC is basically copy/ pasta into your .vimrc. It's pretty self-explanatory though so you can figure out what's going on.

why is this downvoted? I think OP's question was honest.
Where have they indicated that it's an Electron bug when closing the issue?

The time to respond was before closing the issue, which the submitter took significant effort to explain with reproducibility steps.

This is poor communication by the maintainers over what seems to be a significant bug; there may be good reason for it being considered out of scope - so it would seem to be more courteous and professional to give it.

I'd be happy to help make this more efficient though (at no charge of course). Offhand I'd say "web server which accumulates data and uploads it to S3 every N requests or M seconds" would probably get you what you need at a tiny fraction of the cost of "lambda which posts to SQS". Create an AMI and toss it at an autoscaling group and you really won't need to worry about scaling issues either.

Why would retired police have special access to this sort of permit? The entire justification for it is that their dangerous job necessitates special privileges. That justification doesn’t apply to retired people. It may apply to actively employed private security, I don’t know. At least the reasoning makes sense, though.

BTW I noticed this towards the end, which probably doesn't matter if you're using this only for video calls: "The upstream repository providing the uvc-gadget application currently defaults to 720p resolution, which is great for most use cases. You can stream at 1080p, though the Pi Zero and older Pis may drop frames at that resolution. Follow this issue for progress making resolution more easily configurable."
The trick here is that it's meant to be an infinite loop, so "give me da Yooo Toobs" isn't gonna work here.

Up to 2 m over copper, longer over active optical. Why? Because of insanely low latency and very high bandwidth (PCIe gen 3 x4 in 2010!). No kernel involvement, app direct to storage. Way ahead of the time.
> the Code Helper uses massive resources and about once every couple days ends up spinning out of control causing the CPU to cook and the fan to spin constantly until it's restarted

What language are you working in?

VSCode's user experience varies widely between languages/ecosystems. Its IDE features are driven by language servers, and most are written by third-parties, and some of them are great and some of them are terrible. TypeScript and Rust (if you're using rust-analyzer) are stellar. Python is okay. Flow (an alternate JavaScript type system) was terrible last time I checked, spinning the CPU and freezing up like you describe. Language servers run as a separate process (Code Helper, I believe) and can be as inefficient/leaky/resource-hungry as they want to be.
Good question. I believe if anyone would be qualified for a permit, it would be them. Not that they should receive special access. The current system isn't based on qualification, but on privilege.
Hard disagree on principle. We have two types of court - criminal for locking people up, and civil for dealing with money. For locking people up, we require beyond a reasonable doubt. Better ten guilty men go free than one innocent man be convicted and all that. For taking somebody's money, we require it to more likely than not (preponderance of evidence) be the correct result. You call this a "low bar" but it's the same bar for a dispute between individuals. We say - it's only money - we should choose the result we believe to be the most correct, not err on the side of protecting the innocent even if it means letting many more guilty people go free. Why should the state be barred from using both courts?

The parents in that news story knew that kid was selling drugs. They smelled it; they saw the money and the clothes and the car; they got helped out on the bills. 9 times out of 10, they are guilty as hell. But it's not 10 times out of 10, so we only take the house the drugs were sold out of, not lock them up.
> Socialized medicine, it seems, certainly won't fly in this country. But socialized insurance, "Medicare for all"?

The same endless propaganda and sloganeering brought to bear against socialized medicine in every medium and from every mainstream politician to make us think that it's obviously an impossibility in the US (because reasons), is used against Medicare for all. The possibility of changing US healthcare has never had a relationship with any potential improvement in health outcomes or lowering of costs - the chance for any new plan relies on how well it preserves the profits of an industry that consumes twice the proportion of GDP here as it does in any other country.

One of the reasons M4A is criticized has been that it doesn't directly lower anything except administrative overhead (which is massive, but trivial in comparison to the difference between US health care costs and the costs of the civilized world, which would have kept the US in budget surpluses year after year.) It relies on government to put pressure on prices. As the industry's only customer, it would obviously have the leverage, but with most individual politicians being funded by the industry, there's no expectation that it would suddenly have the will. M4A is criticized for not being socialized medicine (i.e. an NHS-like program) by interests who are also against socialized medicine.

The reason Obama passed ACA is because it preserved industry profits, stalled the growth in the rise of healthcare costs, and would hopefully delay the next mass challenge to the status quo. At the beginning of the 2020 election cycle, popular pressure led to virtually all of the early Democratic primary lineup to feign support for M4A, and by the end of the cycle it wasn't even in the platform as an aspirational goal, despite the VP-elect owing her entire initial media presence from her (later-reversed) support of Sanders' bill.

Getting M4A passed will likely be as difficult as getting socialized medicine passed, and would require immense and focused public pressure. We had the most popular candidate in the country run on it as a central issue twice, and during the second time, a new virus changed everyone's daily lives in the middle of the election. Still, through the media, it became a referendum on the personality of a reality show host, Russian spies, and secret pedophile networks. Rational healthcare policy has no hope.
Sounds to me like you have underpowered hardware. I use it constantly for all kinds of tasks and the fan never even spins up. I haven't heard "spinning out of control causing the CPU to cook" anywhere else

I bet you could set up something way cheaper. And I'm certain you know 10x more than me regarding servers, hardening, configuration, etc. And I'm certain you enjoy servers!

For us, the cost works and we have appropriate margin for it. The cost savings aren't worth the extra "we have to monitor these servers" thoughts. Our approach is 100% emotional.

Tangentially related - Nova is a really solid modern alternative to VSCode and Sublime Text, as long as you're on macOS.

The HTC phone-shell-thing didn't really work, but that was more because it gave a bad experience as a laptop - both at the hardware level (phone-in-shell not being as stable or nice-feeling as a normal laptop) and the software level (non-x86 laptops kind of suck in terms of software availability).

Samsung's Dex dock thingy still exists and can be useful when travelling - most hotel rooms you can plug into the TV with HDMI, so a phone and keyboard is less trouble than carrying a full laptop. If you could rely on finding a keyboard (even just a USB one) in any hotel room it would be a lot better. And hopefully with apple shifting to ARM there'll be a lot more desktop software that runs properly on phone processors.

Microsoft initially added Intellisense to Atom and called it VSCode. It was not great, but better than Atom.

Then VSCode got really good for an Electron-based app. It's still the quintessential Electron app, even if it trips over things like this now and again.
