Haha, so true!

As a kid, I remember how excited I was when we upgraded from CGA to EGA, let alone VGA or SVGA, and now I'm practically drooling over how amazing my eyes would feel from staring at a monochrome e-ink display all day!

I'm sounding like an old man now, but as an 80's kid I couldn't dream of the tech we have available today. We were all imagining flying cars and the like, but in many ways what we have, and so available, is much more incredible.

Back on topic though - if the resolution and refresh rate really are as good as shown in the videos, then as a developer, this would genuinely make a huge difference to my working day. My eyes are practically begging for it!

Unless there are markets I'm not seeing, this is undoubtedly a niche product, and I'm very pleasantly surprised that a company has invested to bring it to fruition. I haven't been this existed since NVMe, and I hope this thing ships soon so I can find out how much it costs and read reviews!
There’s a parable here that is horrible apt: The NAZI’s ordered the murder of the Jewish people, but it was the German rank and file citizen that made the gas flow, and the ovens burn. I don’t think we can separate the government of China from its people. Did you forget about the recent leak of communist party members and how they’ve worked their way into senior government, and business positions?

Perhaps the value in philosophy is destruction. As you say our brains already build up beliefs, why do we need a formal system for that? What we don't do naturally is re-evaluate those beliefs in the presence of new information.
No way. The gravitational lens telescope mission merely >550 AU away is estimated to take 40 years with today's tech.

Counterpoint: BOTW single-handedly got me back on Nintendo systems. I was not a Nintendo fanboy before. I had a Wii back in the day, but it was mostly a gimmick, never substituted the PC as the "serious gaming platform" for me. BOTW is one of these rare games that was so attractive that I bought the entire console just to play it. I am aware of and recognize its flaws, but I have over 200 hours in this game, so obviously it can't be all that bad. Heck, I watched a BOTW speedrunner on Twitch just yesterday. The community around that game is still going strong.
Do you have any info on these patents? Interested to learn who owns them, and since when.
The only ones incapable of letting the ghost of the GDR go seem to be the outlets like this one; Obviously there are things that can be charted to make some differences appear, it's only been 30 years... German newspapers also love digging the wall back up whenever they need a few more clicks. These people need to let go already

Hah, I'm also still rocking an i5-2500k. Didn't even think it is worth trying this game but seeing your comment gives me some hope.
This seems like an interesting site, but that is by far the most off-putting and manipulative text I've ever seen on a cookie notice.

> We know having to press this sucks, but unless we see a decentralized Web 3.0, some elements on our site are cookies baked by others that could track you. You have to put up with this, otherwise, might as well shut yourself out of the world.

edit: tyler109 - given that you've linked that site 11 times so far in this thread, I'm guessing you're affiliated with or run that site? If so, might I ask that you edit the cookie text to not be so... bad? Or much better, add a button to it to let readers opt out of the pointless tracking? Also, if you are affiliated with it, could you maybe disclose it in some of the comments where you link to it?
"Some arguments are valid and some conclusions true, regardless of the identity and motives of the one who argues them."

Yes I know, "both sides", but this has been the biggest challenge I've had speaking with progressive friends. Unless I agree that someone's beliefs/opinions/arguments are totally invalid because who they are or who they voted for, I'm also part of the problem..
There was an old gem of a Youtube channel called "Board Games with Scott", and he had a long episode on 18xx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM3jFVJVe_w

I definitely recommend watching! I'm not even into board games much, and yet I still find that channel captivating.

As others have said, PhD has about as much worth as the papers you published during your PhD. If you want to join a research outfit at Microsoft for example, it’ll be a continuity of what you were doing as a PhD.

144 fps is one frame every 7ms. Are there even any residential internet offers where you can get a ping that low to anything on the internet?
Maybe a more conversational approach where

- trust is established,

- a relationship built, and

- questions are asked in a sincere effort to trigger reflection

could produce better results. Takes more patience and effort than we typically invest these days.
What I meant is that not all employees are shareholders

But, since all shareholders benefit from increased stock valuation, those employees that don’t receive stock as comp can still buy shares and participate in the company’s growth
Great list, spent a while reading through it today. I admit it gives me some anxiety that someone could have read and internalized enough media that just a sampling of interesting quotes takes hours to get through. Perhaps I should spend less time on HN and more time with my nose in books and lectures.
To me, dominant is defined by lines of code currently in production.

The difference between my example vs. what you defined, is that hype and/or popularity determine what people use for _new_ projects. But that doesn't really assess how dominant a language has been in the past (or even in production currently).

Java is another dominant language that you might not use for a new project. Same with C.
AT&T doesn't mark their exchanges for exactly this reason...
They have envisioned being a target for decades. Maybe the bomber just didn't know what they were doing? I was in NYC when the van full of explosives blew up in the WTC and basically just made a hole into the subway tunnel below. Had the bombers known where to park it, it could have done MUCH more damage.
I worked at Apple in the late 90s, they wouldn't even tell me what I'd be doing during the extensive interview process. There was so much secrecy. After all the paperwork was signed, I met with the team (on a Saturday) and found out what it was and that I'd be working 7 days a week, 14 to 16 hours a day for the foreseeable future. I wasn't disappointed, but it was a really strange way to start a job.

Google has shown time and time again they do not worry about providing the search results the user is most likely seeking. They monitor ad revenue and adjust accordingly.
Temperature measurements are usually counted as above ground, in shade measurement for the time/date given. In Hawaii the difference in summer/winter is in number of hours of sunshine (due to cloudy/rainy season), sun altitude at solar noon (due to position in northern hemisphere), and total numbers of daylight hours (same thing, due to position in northern hemisphere).

All these factors mean that during summer you need to cool offices in Honolulu more than in winter, even though that the measured difference in temperature at noon can be minuscule.
He apparently had ~$600B listed in his will.

I'm sure it mainly came from rampant insider trading.
Their sales/marketing philosophy was disappointing too. Zero interest in supporting the hobbyist community.
> What makes Darcs different is that it does not need to organize history sequentially. It knows what commits depend on other commits, and a branch is simply a "sea of patches" whose order is inferred. This means that you can share commits across branches without conflicts (unless the branches actually conflict, of course).

Is that property relevant, though? I mean, although it does not need commits to be sequential, well... They already are, and there is no way around that. And sharing commits across branches, whether it's in the form of cherry-picked commits or pure old diff/patch workflows, is something that Git already handles.

Additionally, is there any workflow that does require any of those properties/features?

Meanwhile, how about Darcs' computational cost?

But it is interesting that those kind of Google/search engine feature hardly ever get talked about these days whereas in the past they were considered crucial to get decent results.
Jack Ma was not foolish enough to meddle the high power. Mr. Jack Ma got this status precisely because he knows the boundary. Those dared would have already been dead long before reaching the status close to Mr. Ma.

One who think that secrets can coerce people, is treating the owners of the secrets as passive; which were never the behavior pattern of the powerful.

One who rises to the top, practices control and manipulate over others. Not the opposite.
Interestingly, the writing style of this article very, very strongly reminds me of the way an SCP Wiki is written. Maybe someone else can put a finger on why.

That's a good question, I wonder about this too.

The games that have the entire environment covered by one screen all share this same frustration of getting surprised at the borders.

But another thing that also used to be popular was the infinitely wrapping environment (sometimes on one axis, other times on both) that would span across a larger area than the screen, which is still really cool. Some old windows games such as Vangers, Operation: Inner Space and Astrorock 2000 used to do this.

I guess both cases applied better to 2D games, specifically more arcade-y space stuff, so probably it went out of style when arcade went out of style, and when 3D game environments (specifically first/third person) became more prominent.

Another thing that I found is that implementing this wrapping yourself while using a commercial game engine, without actually fighting the engine, is usually quite tricky, as most aren't really built to deal with this sort of stuff. That might be another side-reason for not being as popular anymore.
Yeah, Google has done so many things to thwart so many kindS of bad SEO (and sometimes even good SEO) that it's really hard to believe they've just innocently dropped the ball on this one. At a certain point you just have to conclude that they want the search results to look like this. "Oopsie, we just accidentally let one bad actor trample on this valuable 'real estate' for years. Silly us." Yeah right.

It is more comfortable to look downward than look upward, while the head is in a fixed position. If you often need to look upward for longer than a glance, you are likely to tilt your head back a bit to relieve strain on eye muscles (trading it for strain on neck muscles).

Often people compensate by resting their head on a headrest and leaning back against a back rest. Often this causes shoulder and back strain. Then they use an armrest or palmrest to type, causing RSI from static loads on bent wrists.

There are two main ways to avoid static muscle loads that cause discomfort and long-term problems. One is to regularly change position. Another is to default to a neutral and comfortable basic position.
Obviously not (laws of thermodynamics), but if we ever get eg a profitable fusion reactor going, it'll be a huge deal to be able to do this - because existing petroleum-fuel stock will still need to run.
They're passive screens right, the power consumption is tiny and probably literally zero when not updating.
This is why I love Greek philosophy so much. They were keen observers of the human condition, but they didn’t bind it all up in (formal) logic. Their philosophies were aimed at being practical life philosophies. How to live a good life (according to the philosophers). I find much in stoicism to be of particular use in modern life. CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, has many similarities with and could even be viewed as strongly influenced by stoicism. CBT really works for a lot of people and is one of the most successful therapeutic approaches in modern psychology at improving people’s outlook and fighting depression.
Exactly the same thing happened in the 3D printing space.
Popper was onto something with putting everything under criticism.

And yet, as every piece of computer hardware needs an OS to be more than a brick, one yearns for an explanation of what "is" as badly as "what is not".
You've made the argument, again, it's false to suggest the statement 'Canadians would be richer in a specific trade deal' implies that every Canadian would be 'better off'.

This is 'basic communication'.

In much the same way many people are making the argument 'Brexit will cause UK citizens to be poorer' (however debatable in the first place) - obviously doesn't imply that the case will be the same for all UK citizens.

Finally - to your specific point - Canadian famers would be economically better off financially, because there would be a massive buying spree for all assets that were otherwise protected.

If they tried to 'hold out' of course they'd be put out of business, but from a raw economic value perspective, they'd be 'richer' no doubt.

CIBC/BMO/Desjardins - all the major banks, Bell/Telus/Rogers (Telcos), CTV/Global (networks), Loblaws (Groceries) etc. etc. would immediately be acquired or merged into larger American entities. (Except in the rare possibility that the 'smaller' Canadian entity made a deal with a Hedge Fund for a massive leveraged buyout of their much larger American peer, but that's unlikely)

Of course, one might argue that would be a 'giant disaster' for Canada, even as Canadians had immediately higher incomes and GDP/capita - and the argument is essentially derived from nationalism. Hence, the hypocrisy of people lamenting that the UK doesn't deserve a degree of material sovereignty.
I mean, rarely if ever does an over-hyped game live up to its insane hype.

Look at Destiny and No Man's Sky. They basically followed the same cycle. Game is hyped up and an incredible amount of time and money is put into development. Game releases and is good at its core. But it's still very buggy, and the expectations were so high, that people are disappointed.

Fortunately, this means you can expect Cyberpunk's bugs will be ironed out, new content will be added, and over the next few years it will evolve into a nice game.
Asymptomatic transmission might be not very high, but presymptomatic transmission is very high. It is well established fact, that people are the most contagious right before onset of the symptoms.Keep in mind that the symptoms might be very mild.
The solution, I think, lays in systems thinking. “Premise, premise, conclusion” can be rightfully used to represent (better: project) a perspective of a frame of a system.

Simple causality doesn’t do the intricate complexity of existence and the patterns that govern it justice, but you can surely map systemic obervations, much like you can project a timestamp of a 3D-room on a lower-dimensional surface. Just don’t act like that’s the whole truth, because it isn’t, and it won’t be.
The point of the fallacies is inline with your point. These are arguments we believe, even though they are not logically sound.

That is, learning them will help you identify your own beliefs that are worth questioning. And, in this case, what behavior you may use that makes it hard to engage with others on their beliefs.
I also used it,and I liked it.
It was too effective.
How do you really propose to establish trust though? Based on what?

Trust requires the initial establishment of some reason to believe the other person, and we're mid discussing why we don't.
This is pretty hard to distill into something manageable for a HN comment. There is much exploration of hypothetical programming models and some interesting arguments posed regarding the title of this presentation.

I would at least pop into the middle of the video for a few minutes to see if anything clicks. It's pretty esoteric stuff compared to what you would usually find on InfoQ.
That’s ironic because haven’t you presented your argument in a formal format here? And attempted to build something for a coherent and effective belief system? And passed on sharing the relatable story that would allow others to understand how you’ve come to believe what you’ve outlined?

Just because you haven’t been able to access any truth through philosophizing doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
I was an apple fanboy, but using the 13" dell xps converted me. It's much lighter, the trackpad is fantastic (although not -quite- as perfect as the macbook), and you're not trapped in apple's ecosystem. Installing debian was relatively easy.

I can't recommend the XPS series enough- the 13" with 32gb ram is perfect for any developer.

Again I remind about the idea of exponential patents: the holder has to pay every year twice as much as last year.

If the patent is protecting some business's hockey-stick growth, it's worth the fee, so it fulfills the original purpose of patents, that is, avoiding trade secrets while protecting cash-cow inventions for a limited time.

But sitting on a patent becomes prohibitively expensive soon enough even for a large company.
MacOS is it's own security nightmare, it's just mangled and unrecognizable through so many layers of abstraction. Apple's understanding of security and privacy is fundamentally broken: they protect you against a boogyman, the idea of someone who wants to take your data for exploitative gain. In reality, the paradigm of computer security has completely changed. Apple had been leaking unencrypted user data to third party firms for years, and refused to yield when researchers warned them of the implications. Thunderbolt is rife with security vulnerabilities, some exploits being so advanced that they can give the attacker a raw dump of whatever was in memory (which is ironically even more dangerous thanks to MacOS' lackluster memory management).

At the end of the day, securing MacOS is a losing game. Big Sur introduced new, untraceable telemetry at the lowest levels of the system, basically forcing me out of the Mac game. Linux it a breath of fresh air by comparison: not only does my system never phone home, it gets security updates as a first-class citizen in the software world (one of the many perks of being the backbone of most computer infrastructure).

Security on Linux is entirely dependent on the user. One of the core Unix philosophies is that a true Unix system won't stop a dumb user from doing something dumb, because that impedes clever people trying to do something clever. The weakest link in the security chain is always the end user, which is why most "hacks" these days are just massive phishing campaigns: it's just an easier attack vector. It doesn't matter if you're on Windows, MacOS, Linux or TempleOS - if you put your credentials into a browser, someone's gonna pwn it.

P.S. - If sandboxing is your interest, you should check out Flatpak. I think it should clear up your repo concerns too ;)
A fast escape route is heading somewhat parallel, but with a bit of offset to the direct line towards the central star. This way, you combine the power of the rocket thruster and the gravitational pull. However, the bit of multitasking (maneuvering into orbit and taking care of saucers) at the beginning is definitely the tricky part, esp. in higher levels. (But it's still better as in Computer Space, where the saucers may pound you mercilessly while you're still a sitting duck.) Mind that you'll have to do just a bit better than the saucers over the course of an entire level, so the loss of a single ship shouldn't be that bad.
Very cool-should be required watching for educators (K-12+ teachers/administrators, MOOC instructors), as well as developers for Zoom, WebEx, Teams.
Thanks, that's a good explanation. I guess HN is slowly becoming reddit - you get down-voted for asking genuine good-faith questions.
I think what I am trying to espouse is two things. The first is that there might be a large group of users unknown to you and I who enjoy looking at pinterest in the image results and that is who Google wants to cater to. And the second is not that Google is or should be a "pure democracy of algorithmic conformance" but that Google has, does and always will make choices about what is best and that the definition of best is up to their discretion. They are making choices about who to cater to with their results and justify those choices with their own logic that we will likely never know. One company having the power to be the only one making all those choices isn't anything I would call a democracy.
Is there a body of evidence that suggests it is better for our eyes?
Reggie Foster did have a textbook come out before his death (unlike Ørberg's, which you mention, it is written in English rather than Latin), Ossa Latinitatis Sola.

He also had a sequel (about reading Cicero) in press which is due out in January. It's called Ossium Carnes Multae. Daniel McCarthy, the editor, has been collecting materials by Foster with the aim of bringing out a five-part series:
