Tappy was born when our team started working remotely. We needed to be connected with our team more often and simply because we were building new software from scratch and needed lots of communication to make the team’s consensus. But there were no ways to connect our team instantly. Zoom was for a scheduled meeting, and it was too formal. Slack was for written communication, which was not dynamic enough to bring everyone on the same page. We needed to be connected instantly to clear our issues, get feedback on new features, etc. So we started building one for our team. That is how Tappy was born, and we are still on a mission to make remote work communication even more efficient than offline communication.

Since most of us are working from home, communication has been the number one challenge for remote teams. We got more used to working from home and some of us already enjoy it. but a downside of remote work is that we can’t casually start a conversation to learn from each other the way we could in an office.

Tappy provides your team with a simple and quick way to break down communication barriers with our real-time communication software.

Tappy replicates the experience you get at your office with live status, one-click to talk.

We just opened our public beta service, and you guys are welcome to join to get early access. Get your team talking on Tappy with one click!
We want to help you make your remote workflow a breeze!
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I don't know Nathan Myhrvold, and I could be wrong, but my impression is that he's a smart guy, trying to be remembered as the modern Leonardo Da Vinci (cuisine, mosquito laser zappers, etc - the widest intellectual curiosity one can imagine), without a decent chance of succeeding.

These endeavors are so bizarre, so "off", so weird and different from each other, that they seem planned and fake to me. Leonardo had genuine curiosity, and no need to show off (except when looking for a job [0]). I feel that Nathan could learn from that.

IDK about the WHO & CDC, but “the leading spokesperson on matters of public health in the federal government of the United States” (according to Wikipedia) did not have “no position on masks”. I’d quote him here, but his position was emphatic enough to technically break HN’s guidelines: https://nitter.net/Surgeon_General/status/123372578528393216...

I feel like this is a fact that's much less well known :)

(Debian is actually a portmanteau of Deb(ra) + Ian...)
My wife is of romanian origin, is a developer, very good at her job and her record contains surpassing and outcompeting principal engineers at her organization. I wouldn't even feel the need to explain this, as it is natural. She is among the highest ranked engineers in a company in which most other employees in the engineering division are white, male, privileged and probably - pro forma - better educated. Nobody gives a shit though, since she's doing her job exceptionally well.

Also, I didn't ever feel the need to defend herself against any accusations. Why? Because there was no reason to. Sure, there is the usual office gossip, but this until then has been non-directional, "brownian motion". This is simply the truth as experienced by both of us.

This changed in the last 3-4 years, though. Powered by the latest victim reporting, suddenly women and minorities have to feel victimized again (in order to not betray the spirit of equality), at least that's what the changed climate feels to us (maybe she differs in nuances, this is my perception as a white privileged male).

I simply don't get why we cannot accept as a civilization that females, blacks or whatever minority group (as our perception, guided by media, tells us) are still human with all the ups and downs, maybe accompanied by cultural differences which over time align with ours from both sides. If we altogether stopped discriminating against and for minorities, all would feel better. The thing is, this must be a majority consensus.

Maybe this will be misunderstood as me positioning against minority support, I hope it doesn't since it's meant as the absolute opposite: in my limited experience, the best support is to altogether eradicate the thought of having to support minorities - they are not helpless, they can stand for themselves, and they will succeed. Nobody, from no majority or minority must try to stigmatize and hamper them.
> Should they map roughly to your in-game rating?

For lichess at least, they don't. I'm a 2100 tactics and nowhere near that in actual rating (around 1500).

Right but I use CentOS cause it's the Cyberpunk from April 2021, not December 2020.
Fitness? The idea of puffing and sweating inside a heavy VR headset doesn't seem very alluring to me for some reason... Besides, I personally think fitness should be about reconnecting with the body and the real world, not "grinding" and distracting yourself while getting this physical thing done.
Maybe even a naming convention like Ubuntu: Rocky "Adrian" Linux I, then Rocky "Balboa" Linux II.

Seriously though, I am very happy about the name and its creation.
I'm a devops/sre type so, on my main (ultrawide) screen I have a browser 50% right, then 2 columns of terminals (usually vim) 50% left usually with 2 per column, often 3, sometimes stacks of the same under each other. This can be duplicated across workspaces as needed for different codebases.

Often I'll find I need to make arbitrary layouts on the fly when debugging an issue or responding to an outage, I can do this without having to engage my brain or reach for my mouse.

Can you do the same with floating WMs? Absolutely but you will probably need to think about, breaking your thought process. For me the i3 just does what I need it to without having to engage my brain or reach for the mouse.

If you're already running Linux I'd highly suggest giving i3 a go, it's hard (for me) to explain how it changed the way I interact with my computer and how much it improved my workflow. I think about the closes I can get is that it's like learning vi, sure nano can get text into a file but once you're used to vi you're going to be far more efficient.
I literally spat my coffee out. Thanks for the laugh.
>>> e: Politics in San Francisco are out of control. In my estimation from afar it's like the liberal version of the colloquial Alabama conservative politics.

Just trying to encourage reasoning about viewpoints different to your own.

> e: if it was unusual or the hospital didn't want to do that, certainly they could have either not accepted the money or tried to remove that requirement?

Yep, perhaps they should have declined the offer. Hopefully there was good-faith debate about the terms and implications of it. Let's see whether we learn more over time; life goes on, either way.

> e: If you find my statement about politics in San Francisco to be antagonistic

Not really, no; it was something about your tone, so no worries there.
Do you trust Debian LTS? As much as RHEL? The documentation about Debian LTS always made me think it is not a fully fledged thing. I've always felt like Debian releases reached EOL on their EOL date, not their LTS EOL date.

> Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.

The entire point of a new version is that it has newer features/widgets. Why even bother using a new GTK version if you didn't care about using the new features/widgets? In that case you could still compile against the old version and expect it to work as it always has.

If what you're looking for is a way to roll out some new widgets one by one and transition to a new version slowly, I agree that's something that could be worked on. But it requires a bunch of additional work that's mostly orthogonal to just shipping a new toolkit and it may not make sense for it to happen upstream.
>the fact that babies are almost universally aborted

fetuses are being aborted, and I'm not just nitpicking here. Down Syndrome screening is done in the first trimester.
I’m not trying to make an anti-capitalism case. I’m also not an economist but would venture to guess there’s more at play in the c failure of the USSR than pay structure.

However, I do think there is room for regulating areas where the incentives of the economy and society are misaligned. What’s best for the economy isn’t always what’s best for society and vice versa. When they are at odds, I would favor some guardrails.
> More technically, that's eugenics.

No it's called 'choice'. Women pregnant with babies potentially affected by that malformation are not forced by doctors or the government to abort. Big difference.
More technically, that's euthanasia and it's optional, not government mandated, and no one is sterilized after. Eugenics would be sterilizing any parents that have any possibility of producing unhealthy babies.

From your link: As far as I know as someone who worked here for 7+ years (take this as personal opinion), Mapbox wants to keep investing heavily in open source and open data sustainably and indefinitely, and this GL JS change is an unevitable prerequisite for that. This may not be easily apparent at this moment but it will be soon.

I guess this is what he was referring to.
What was pretty obvious was there were two biases in play with masks. A science bias. And a credentialist bias.

Science bias leads you to come down hard that things that aren't proven are false. No hard proof double blind studies that masks work with covid19 means mask don't work.

Credentialist bias makes you assume people without are stupid and need to be tricked to do the right thing.
at least that is how we felt Key Words. You plainly understand other people feel differently.
Standing is not merits. These are legal terms that have legal definitions.

OpenPGP is a standard, and a very flexible one. Not all implementations need to support all features. You cannot compare it to something like AGE, which is simply a single implementation without any effort to turn it into a standard about anything, nor the goal to support various use cases. We could go on talking about the differences of approach and the benefits and drawbacks of standardization, flexiblity, libraries vs. end-user applications etc, but that's been discussed times and times again here and elsewhere. There is simply no alternative to OpenPGP the standard and its efforts. Or can you point us at one?

Have you looked at the OpenPGP spec? I find it pretty readable, and you will quickly see how it cannot be compared to any single application.

I understand that AGE also has a "spec". It is limited to a single use case, encryption. No signatures, no certifications, no thoughts on key discovery or trust, etc etc.
Ah I didn't know that he's already currently under indictment. Today I learned...

But yes, if he has something that he can point to when re-election time comes around and say "Look, I tried to help Trump out" then it will probably guarantee him votes.

I'm a Texas resident and didn't know he had already been indicted. But I tend to vote Libertarian for local and state positions so I didn't really look too much into his background.
And yet, I prefer it. Textbooks in any other format are miserable to read.

Wouldn't the lack of standing be an aspect of the merits of the suit? In any case, the supreme court isn't the sole judge of the merits of a case, they are just the arbiters of the outcome.

Those who would test positive and hide it are also those who would just not get tested in the first place. The only difference is they would know, so they might change their behavior.
No worries, it's all good.

I wrote about this a bit in a sibling comment, but making piet-gpu real is a major goal and probably the main reason I got the gig. It's speculative in some ways because it's trying to do things in a new way, but if it works out as well as I hope, it's pretty easy to see why it's worth doing.
> because winter isn't miserable enough.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Some friends of mine get winter depression and it's a real shit thing. I can't understand, I love winter much more than summer (you can dress for it and turn on lights; try turning off the sun or take off your underwear when you're still too warm and need to go to work in summer...), but I know it is a thing :/
The PDF file format has a mechanism in it for modifying documents.
I have a degree in math and physics. I used it exactly once, in one aspect on one job. It was down below 0.0something% - need one or three more zeroes...

... until I took a job in X-ray imaging. We were working on a surgical X-ray (C arm) that could pinch-hit as a CT machine. And suddenly everything was 3D coordinate transforms and fourier transforms, plus X-ray physics, up to my eyeballs.

The theory stuff isn't useful... until it is. And when it is, it helps to have it.
CBR and CBZ for comics fits this I think?
Tangentially related, but I think that there’s a real problem in western society around the teen years. Since corporal punishment is not allowed, parents tend to discipline their kids by attacking their self worth. This leads to a reliable pattern of teens “hating” their parents, a phenomenon that is non existent in the rest of the world especially Asia. This also leads to a huge disparity in what percentage of kids end up becoming successful adults even when all basic needs are met.
This works if both sides has wireguard installed and are in the network, but is there a way to got this to work for any connections from the internet? eg. your VPS has ip 1.1.1.1, you want any traffic that goes to 1.1.1.1 to go to the wireguard interface on your PC, and any traffic set from the wireguard interface on your PC exits through 1.1.1.1. Bonus points if set it up in such so that the interface address on your PC shows up as 1.1.1.1.
For some reason, Elite Dangerous throws the graphics into low for me, no matter what settings I have. On the computer it looks great, whenever I put it on the Quest 2 it looks horribly pixelly.

Even so, it's incredibly immersive, and if that problem gets fixed it's going to be amazing.
It's also the definition of disallowed monopolistic behavior -- using ownership of one area to control another. This is more egregious if you consider "VR" as not "virtual reality", but "virtual relationships."
Perhaps not in formal legal parlance, but if the top commenter was asking about merits in the common understanding of the term (which stands to reason given they are a non-lawyer) then standing is definitely an aspect of the merits of a case.
Blue Origin is also talking up their moon lander, but we still haven't seen them actually put a payload in orbit. The BE-4 engine has been delayed and they've still only delivered test stand versions to ULA. If you read the Blue Origin Glassdoor and subreddit where a number of anonymous employees talk, they're not doing well. New Glenn looks unlikely to fly until 2022 at the earliest, and presumably they'd need at least 6-10 launches even being optimistic about fitting hundreds of sats in the large fairing.

I can't see them being able to offer service until 2024 at the earliest, and there's a non-nil chance Blue Origin implodes trying to leapfrog from suborbital test vehicle to reusable heavy-lift rocket with their own (possibly flawed) engine and Kuiper would need to launch with SpaceX or fold.
> Whether they read it or not, they didn't comment on its merits, but rather said plainly that Texas doesn't have standing. That is to say, something may be amiss, but Texas can't be the one to sue over it.

Sort of. Thomas and Alito said that they would hear the case, but wouldn't grant any of the requested relief. This still technically doesn't comment on the merits (the relief requested was not really grantable), but its more than just Texas can't sue over it, even if they could the things they were asking for couldn't be done.

> I don't think it's been mentioned enough that VR doesn't fundamentally bring anything new to the -gameplay- table

Disagree with this strongly.

VR brings realistic physical motion skills in to replace thumb-twiddling on controllers. When I play VR table tennis I am exercising my gross motor skills. It is a 100% different experience and type of skill acquisition to anything you will get from flat gaming. There are actually pro table tennis players who now train in VR because it is so realistic and of course they can fine tune to the nth degree what they want to work on. Alternatively, games like Space Pirates have you literally swaying and ducking bullets coming at you in 3d space. There is no comparison at all to me moving a joystick to achieve the same thing.
> If you're not going to do the work to figure out what the corruption is …

I'm sorry, but last time I checked neither Apple nor ABBYY pay my salary. I really don't understand these takes. If Apple or ABBYY want my PDFs, they should be able to find my email address rather easily. Your tl;dr version of the post is completely unfair. I publicly criticize Apple because they are breaking something that potentially affects a lot of people who are unlikely to even know about it, and they are doing it for at least the second time now. If you don't think that's worthy of criticism, I don't know what is.

I also love how so many people assume I didn't already talk to support and file radars. I guess you had better luck in the past than me, but I can assure you, these options aren't always as useful as you might think they are.

Isn’t WSL2 just a VM? No more special kernel subsystem trickery? In that case it should be almost exactly the same as the macOS version of Docker.
Are you claiming that the Sequoia implementation of the OpenPGP standard is a "complicated old mess"? Because the OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880) isn't really all that complicated. A significant portion of is a bit by bit description of the key format.

At any rate, age is hardly any sort of replacement for OpenPGP. It is really only suitable for the case where you want to encrypt something like a backup and not bother to sign it. I am not really sure that it is superior even for that niche case. Most people would want to know a backup is corrupt before they started the restore, not partway through it.

But I want to donate to Firefox development and Mozilla is straight up telling me to eff off. That sucks and should be changed. Let me GitHub Sponsor or whatever FF development not throw money at a foundation that doesn't put the money where I want it to go.

Why in God's name did Mozilla even do this to themselves? Sitting up Mozilla into a Corp and a Foundation. The Corp which is supposed to be a money-printing machine has been shanghaied by a person who has gone on the record saying it would be unfair to reduce their salary because of dependants yet has consistently run this machine into red.

Why isn't Mozilla taking any action? Why is Baker continuing to be allowed to destroy the dream of a multiplicity of browser engines? It kills me.
Even in the originally linked article, they recommend HTTPS over SSH:

> I'm going to lose because I suck.

I find this strangely motivational. I guess I'm a sucker for fairness.

Girls Do Porn Victims Are Suing Pornhub for $1M Each
If people are reading this article and perhaps considering a serious reassessment of their life, I strongly recommend doing an outreach to those many folks who have made such a move in both directions In particular, to a sample of those who made the move 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago and even longer. Time brings perspective...a 5 year view is different than a 10 year view than is different from a 20 year view. I did a bit flip at around 12 years.

Also there are lots of ways to maintain a connection with the academic worldview without being a full-time academic...adjunct, professional societies, journals, online communities, etc. You can eat the food without being a dishwasher.
This is mostly accurate, however it is an idealization to suggest that you can accept and not corrupt all of the ill-formed documents.

This is in principle impossible.

If it turns out that there is a widespread problem with many kinds of document that no longer work properly, I’ll be more inclined to say Apple is at fault.

But as it stands, it just seems like ABBY has been producing bad PDFs.

Coinbase shakes up its board of directors
You don't need to punch through a NAT when you have a bounce server. Both sides are already connected to the bounce server and all interaction between those peers is done through the bounce server. Thus, the peers don't need to communicate directly... so you don't need to do any NAT punching.

That's what makes this method simple... with the downside that you need a publicly exposed intermediary. But it is vastly simpler to setup than STUN.
