Right now it,s an xmg which is a seller of clevo probably i will remain with that because I can change parts without voiding warranty , my reseller leave me add rm and hdd of my choice after the sale, i can buy without hdd and ram.. aalso have swappable battery and even if touchpad may not be apple quality i usually use mouse or trackball , but with the next I'll take a look at what Lenovo, hp dell etc will offer by that time , about linux compatibility and drivers.. I'm quite sure is improving every year.. except for macbooks ;)
Why are so many videos not available until November 2021?
I find that surprising. I think cryptocurrencies are the worst technology known to man, but avoiding censorship is what they are built for and their only legitimate use case.

Maybe because it's not entirely community driven. It is somewhat community driven.

Yes it's their code and they can license it to be at least GPL though

Pylance is built on their open source Pyright library, which is also available as a VSCode extension. I'm just using Pyright instead and don't seem to be missing out on anything important.

I'm mostly a casual linux user, so honestly asking, why is sounding like "bind" dangerous?

edit: A quick search turned up the `bind` command to bind a name to a socket. That makes sense.
Chinese has a saying, which I don't know how to translate: 升米恩，斗米仇。It roughly means that you give a starving man a bowl of rice, he will be grateful; if you continue to give the same man a bag of rice for him to live better, he will hate you for not giving enough.

It rings very true.
There are no sides.

The cat-and-mouse game between adult industry workers and the credit card industry is legendary. Credit card processors have never been kind to that industry, and once they find a reason to kick someone to the curb it stays that way.
This title is inaccurate.

The language server _is_ open source, and is available here: https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server. This is the default one VSCode ships with.

This issue is filed on Pylance, a new (released June 2020) language server that's currently still in beta (announcement: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/announcing-pylance-fas...).

Also, like the contributor notes, a lot of the "secret sauce" in Pylance is part of the open source Pyright typechecker: https://github.com/microsoft/pyright.
Why are people so much more upset about this relative to MS not open-sourcing their other products?

Is it that it's free? If Microsoft _sold_ a more advanced Python LSP, would that receive as many complaints?

What you think would be the cost for porting and supporting Office to Linux? And how many Linux users would pay for desktop Office, either Office 365 subscription or one-time purchase?

They're not charity. They have right to do whatever they want with their source.
If you have the time, take a look at the supporting information for Materials and Methods. This is interesting to me as well, but my understanding of the English language is not as good.

Some key takeaways:

-They use delivery data from different categories of births, including 'complications occurring during the course of labor and delivery'. Do they account for the conditions in which the babies were born, and then attribute that to the types of doctors handling those deliveries? In other words, do they make a distinction saying emergency white doctors perform worse than emergency black doctors? Because I cannot find that information in the research.

-Since doctor race data isn't codified in Florida's database (where they use the data from), they used web pictures and determine if the doctor is white or black. They narrowed this task down to 4 people who were good at it.

-Black female doctors performed the best, they mention some control of the gender but I do not fully understand how they did it.

-They used a Latino doctor group as well to account for differences, but found that while there is a distinction, it is much smaller than Black-White.

I also don't understand if/how they control for the quality of the hospital. Is there one bad low income hospital with white doctors in a predominantly black area?
You are assuming that they will not ultimately form censorship resistant platforms that that will be far more dangerous than having their conversations visible to the majority.

Not only is that game of whack-a-mole unsustainable, it will lead to the creation of un-silencible platforms. ...and if they are scalable they might become the new standard.

It will be pretty sad if social media platforms are ultimately displaced by the platforms created due to their censorship.
Ask HN: What advice do you have to yourself in your first job?
As I've found and participated in this community, I've found it very insightful. I think there are a lot of wise people here, and wanted some advice.

I'm 22, and I'm in my first job as a Software Engineer. I genuinely love what I do, and am looking for guidance on how to progress through my career the best I can.

My main goal this year is to build up successful side projects and get a second source of income revenue, no matter how small.

> Can I install Nix on my Void?

Yes. (And you won't need to use systemd with just Nix and Nixpkgs)

> Do I then just stop using the native package manager?

No

> Is the idea that you can define your system in a file and reproduce it more or less automatically?

Yes

> How does this compare to Guix?

Very similar. Guix is a fork -> rewrite, with more Scheme and more FSF policy. But core concepts have not diverged.
> Honestly, after seeing both how the GOP and Democrats treated Trump, Sanders, and Gabbard, I find myself supportive of all three of them despite them having a very different views. I simply like that they're not either party.

This seems absurd. If your political reasoning puts you in a situation where Trump and Sanders are both options for you then your system is broken - they are antithetical to each other in style, philosophy, character and most importantly policy. Based on your logic, if both parties rejected Stalin then you'd be in favor of him.
What kind of benefits have you felt from long walks with no devices? I was on a good routine doing that earlier in quarantine, and kind of fell off the wagon. Could use some inspiration to get re-started :)
Exactly. And never underestimate the time it takes to take care of the community that evolves around open source, merge requests and so on.

If you are in the early stages of a new product, this can lead to distractions.

Maybe they later on decide to take a different stance.

I fear the installment of an autocrat. Whether through slow corruption from the inside in politics, through concentration of wealth or something such as the event from last week. The difference, in the event of last week, was the reality of that happening could have been hastened immensely.

I don't like our current system, but the slow decay gives us the ability to work towards the aims which you have stated on more preferable terms.

says >There's something amusing about cast iron lore that scares so many people away.<

No, it is simply a major PITA in the kitchen and no match whatsoever for teflon. It is such a PITA that the cast-iron venders are marketing "enameled cast-iron" which, of course, has a coating of enamel atop the cast-iron.

And get this: there are beaucoup WWW posts on "seasoning" the enamel!

And Microsoft has open sourced at lot as well. So? Why should any of them open source everything?
Most popular "food science" falls into this trap, as far as I've seen. Even my preferred resources such as seriouseats or America's Test Kitchen.

A teaspoon of vodka in the dough makes the pie crust flakier? At the very least it seems like one could say "we cooked 5 pies each way, and a blind taste test found that 4/5 tasters rated the batter with vodka as flakier".

That seems like the minimum amount of effort to call something scientific. It doesn't require any specialized equipment or training. We're not even getting into detailed methodology, or significance testing. Yet still, even the best sources I see make completely opaque claims such as "we found reverse creaming makes the cake more dense and buttery, while traditional creaming results in a traditional fluffy cake".
Am not American, do not have a horse in this race, but the US grew a lot between 1800 and 1945.

It began as a mostly rural republic that had about as many full time soldiers as the Cree tribe had armed (with guns) fighters; Lafayette thought that USA would need French protection for a few centuries.

Then, American industrial capacity exploded and by 1900, it was competing for the first place with the UK and Germany. The entry of the US to both WWI and WWII made the decisive result precisely because of enormous American capacity to produce stuff.

That said, loss of American production capacity in the last 30 or so years ("the giant sucking sound" of Ross Perot) may really be an early sign of decay. Having digital giants is fine, but they won't produce a billion of N95 masks on demand.
Sorry you got downvoted, but I agree. Just because Microsoft open sourced VS Code doesn't mean they have to open source anything that touches it. Microsoft are allowed to have closed source language servers and extensions!

And their reasoning seems pretty straight forward:

* Microsoft sells developer tools (as well as giving away loads for free!).

* Microsoft has invested money into giving their products (both the free and commercial products) great python support.

* The level of Python support Pylance gives is a competitive advantage of the Microsoft product suite.

* Open sourcing means giving their competitors this functionality, and the competitive advantage will no longer exist.

Microsoft is running a business, not a charity. They don't have to open source everything so their (often closed source!) competitors can use it.
Steam works fine for me. Also, the "NVidia prime" stuff from https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia works out of the box since 20.09. (Though i will be happy when Dell finally sells AMD graphics instead.)

Also I've made android packages (albiet ones that don't use much Java) using the Nixpkgs repackaging of the Android SDK.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned platforms like OnlyFans so far.

That's the path forward for adult entertainment content (among other content). It puts the power back in the hands of content creators, and removes a lot of avenues for exploitation.

As long as VISA/MC don't do the same thing there, of course.
this book describes the linear programming formulation for finding the optimal value function. cool to see, I think this formulation is underrated by the CS community compared to other communities also trying to solve MDPs.

however I wish it also described the dual of this linear program. this problem involves optimizing over state-action frequencies which is equivalent to optimizing over policies.

so value functions and policies are dual to each other. that's pretty neat! not sure why modern RL texts don't talk about it at all.
Whew, thank goodness! I'd hate to see centenarians in Congress!
I'm opining/arguing that if you make this statement:

>The best way to "control" population growth is...

Then provide some level of govt incentive to reach that goal, it's still coercion (or if you prefer, manipulation), even if the incentive is 1st order positive effects, and the stated goal/result is a 2nd or 3rd order effect.

Thinking about it, I keep coming back to preditory lending/selling tactics or dark-pattern manipulation (except the UI is your life choices) as comparisons, but I haven't worked out exactly why, yet, other than it bothers me in a similar way. Moreso, since it's government.

You can’t push something as a standard, claim that the fact that it is standardized allows for interoperability, benefit from the work other people do to conform to your standard, then prevent your own work from being used by others like you claimed would be possible. Apple sidesteps this issue by rarely promoting standards in the first place.
How can you blame them for not making the only edge (that, and the type checker) they have over pycharm in terms of language support?

M$ wants VSC users and python users will go where the best language support is, pycharm has a lot of cool/good features but they don't have all of them.

Did it actually work well though? Because most democracies are rather young. Look at interwar Europe and how most of those democracies turned into autocracies. A longstanding democracy in history seems to be more of an exception rather than the rule. And most of those seem to come with some pretty big asterisks too. It rather seems to me that democracies today have performed better in terms of stability than in the past.
That's kind of a strange way to look at it.

The comment about Soviet propaganda, though, is amusing. It's amazing how little people in the USSR knew about the rest of the world as late as the 1960s. Anatoly Dobrynin wrote in his 1995 autobiography that, when he came to the US in 1962 to be Ambassador to the United Nations for the USSR, he was amazed to see traffic jams. He'd been brought up to believe those were American propaganda. No country could have that many cars.

(That's a fun read, by the way. He got to be a diplomat in a very strange way. Stalin had a meeting in 1946 with some of his diplomats and grumbled that those old guys were out of touch, and they needed young new Soviet men like aircraft designers. The next day, Dobrynin, a young aircraft designer, was ordered from his job designing aircraft to Moscow to attend the Higher Diplomatic Academy and learn to become a diplomat. He turned out to be good at it.)
I would highly recommend Searx instead. You don't have to host your own instance either, there are many available at https://searx.space.

Life was cheap, especially to the rulers, and their existence was a zero-sum game (the success of other rulers always compromised their own power to a degree or in totality).

If he isn't, though, I should be able to let other users whom we both know grab a copy to pass on to him later, or maybe have a "deaddrop" server or a "pub" where I can stash messages and have them get picked up by someone else later.

Scuttlebutt is built around enabling this as a (the?) primary feature. It's not just "supported", the entire ecosystem does this by design. It even calls that kind of server "pubs" (they're normal peers, they just auto-follow anyone who asks).
Microsoft getting money from things like this is probably, on balance, a good thing. It helps justify resources to build, support, and improve it. Because every year, someone has to justify probably multi-million dollar budget lines for pylance / their python type checker.

I bought an M1 as my 2015’s keyboard had died over the past year, and I got tired of being chained to my desk with my Bluetooth keyboard.

The M1 is close but the keys aren’t as deep. It’s good, but the 2015 still felt better to type on.
I say otherwise. It is oppressive and immoral to try to prevent the use of technology by those who have not received permission to use it.
And lets not forget, HN egged the function key row elimination a lot (rightfully so).
I mostly agree with this, but you're missing post-1970s history where they replaced gold with oil by requiring USD for oil transactions (the "petrodollar"). This system that we live under has its own economic imperatives and sustains the USD as the reserve currency of the world. However, it has enriched the elites and impoverished the working class as imperial projects tend to do.
There is no need to bring politics into software development wherever possible. I don't care who has written the code, code itself is apolitical.

I am rather early on in the program but I’m mainly doing it for my hip moreso than my knees but so far I definitely notice an increase in knee stability and my ankle mobility is incredible. In life and in sports you cannot always avoid having your knees go past your toes, so gradually building the capacity for your knees and ankles to allow your knees to support you when they are past the toes makes sense to me. Everyone is so focused on building hip power to be able to explosively accelerate but this program is all about building the muscles that decelerate the body. Most non contact knee injuries in basketball come when a player plants and tries to come to an abrupt stop. This program builds your VMOs and tibialis and many other muscles that help bulletproof your knees against the extreme forces involved in coming to a sudden stop. The extreme moves that Ben demonstrates are very advanced and the program would never ever have someone do them without following the proper progression. If your knees are fucked up you just begin with backwards walking until your knee pain is reduced enough to progress further. Backwards walking is the safest way to begin building stability with the knees past the toes and this alone can help reduce knee pain.
