I'm not a software engineer, nor a comp sci grad, nor a professional coder. I've ranted on HN about bad documentation in programming before (Lisp being a notable target of my ire recently), and I'm by no means an expert. But when you have someone who by his own admission can't install node.js, pip, or ruby and yet claims

>Because I love building things using code.

I mean, someone who "builds things using code" should be able to install ruby. I've never even attempted to use ruby, don't even know what its syntax looks like, but I guarantee you it can be installed by something akin to

$ apt install ruby

I can't even fathom how a person who has allegedly built things with code can "try and fail" to accomplish this.
Wow, I can't believe it first came out 15 years ago. How is it holding up?
Very true. And lots of debates come up about who in the tribe is in charge of this land, and even who is part of the tribe if money gets involved.
As alien and disturbing as it feels as a European, I guess that if you must have a gun you better learn how to use it properly. In a gun camp though?

I have met somehow similar people organizing "prepared / survivalist camps" kind of stuff, but they were more political than practical.
That one statement makes me almost convinced that this is satire.
In some cases, and in a limited way, yes, but it's clearly not well integrated yet.

Even the 'local' version of software development is a giant mess, we have not well thought out dependencies, tool chains etc..
I've never encountered any issues and I never thought I'd see people asking for Apple to nerf their trackpad, its the best in the business!
That's definitely fair and the "bring your own cloud" structure was originally how we were going to build Supernotes.

However, besides being able to organize your own knowledge in a better way, one of the main pain points we were/are trying to solve with Supernotes is sharing pieces of information. What we noticed with a lot of other systems is that you end up with a situation where you're creating content, and then at some point want to share it with a friend/co-worker/lover. With systems structured as you describe, what usually happens is the user just copy-pastes the content into their messaging app of choice (or email or similar) and that's that. The problem with this is that the info then immediately becomes stale. If I edit the content at some point down the road, in order for you to get the updated version I would need to send it to you on Signal again. With Supernotes, because you're sharing the actual card object on the SN platform, any changes you make to cards are reflected in everyone else's system.

In my case I think the simplest example is recipes: I have a sister that is a pastry chef, and we like sharing various recipes with each other. With the way Supernotes is structured (around cards + multi-parent hierarchies), she can share recipe cards with me that I then integrate alongside the recipe cards that I've made myself. If at any point she updates one of these cards, it's updated for me too. But unlike with a shared folder/file system, with a multi-parent card system I can easily hide her content or move it somewhere else on my system while on her system it continues to look exactly how she wants it to look. This was difficult enough with a centralized system and would've been practically impossible with a "bring your own dropbox" structured system, which is why we went with the former in the end.

But absolutely, we want users to still feel like they wholly own their own content (because they do[1]), which is why we eventually plan to add E2EE capability for your cards as well as continuing to build out our API[2] (want users to be able to easily get at their content without having to go through our interface) and export functionality.

It’s the resolution I care about more than the aspect ratio. A squarer aspect ratio would just be the icing on top. But yeah, if you’re happy with 1920×1080, then it’s not too difficult to find machines satisfying the other two requirements.
Closing the deal without DOJ objection. Sounds pretty normal to me.
>his flat assertion that nobody organized anything about 6 Jan on Parler, only on Facebook.

His accusation was that none of the thirteen people arrested actively used Parler, something he "did the homework" on by checking with Parler executives. Virtually all the criticism I see of Greenwald seems based on false strawman versions of his arguments ignoring what he is actually writing about.
Exactly. And Chinese made phones shipped overseas (ie India) ALSO often backup to china or have links that way.
Yeah, those little applets are pretty useful. It does feel somewhat slugish if you enable many tho. Sync works perfectly for my use case.
I'm not sure that's true.

I believe modern wireless chargers are around 75% to 85% efficient.

That sounds bad at first, but I believe most ac-dc charging bricks are in the 80% to 90% efficiency range, so it's actually not much worse at all.

And if it really is magsafe, the "secret sauce" there is the magnets will align things almost perfectly every time avoiding unaligned charging coils.
Dropbox lost me (100% Linux user) when they decided that ext4 was the only file system they supported.

I've very happily moved over to Syncthing. For a small installation you could use a VPS at Digital Ocean or Vultr. You could even get a Raspberry Pi and a cheap external hard drive.
I wonder what will happen to DeFi and the entire Ethereum network, because Tether is largely used in DeFi transactions.
could even mean a magsafe charging area for your phone/airpods too
> Ungoogled Chromium is great because it accomplishes all that Vivaldi does, except syncing

I am a fan of Firefox and servo, but this is a little under selling vivaldi. Vivaldi's goal isn't to be a stripped down chrome with better security, it is geared for power users. Some might say "bloated", and others might say "featureful and freakishly customizable".

Is there any way to "short" bitcoin? I don't really trust any of the fly-by-night cryptocurrency exchanges, but is there a real derivatives market somewhere?
Amazon's Open Distro for ElasticSearch is still an open source fork of Elastic Search, so ironically Amazon may be the saviors of Open Source Elastic Search.

What is "Office 365"? Do you mean Office 16.0, released in 2019, or a different version?

Also - did you need to reboot your Linux host machine or perform some form of a "Wine layer reboot"?
Yes, but you wouldn't normally be able to access this file as a web client. Being able to view arbitrarily files as a web client is already a security concern.
Quick note that while my comment was downvoted heavily, it is correct - I do welcome factual responses.

Did you perhaps mean synthwave.hu? The first link is dead.
My favorite variation of this involves Dungeons and Dragons' spell slots mechanic. (Full disclaimer, I didn't make the concept, and can't find the post that I read it from)

For every long rest, you get a limited number of spell slots - for example at level 5 you get 4 level 1 spell slots, 3 level 2 spell slots, and 2 level 3 spell slots. These are all the "major" spells you can cast before you need to long rest again.

Some things may be more straightforward, and only take a level 1 spell slot. But it's still possible to run out of those. Luckily, you're able to use a higher level spell slot to cast that same spell. Sometimes this makes the "spell" more effective (using a higher level spell slot for programming might relate to intentionally putting more focus on it), other times you're just burning the higher leveled slot.

Other actions/spells may take more focus/concentration/energy/effort to do, akin to using a higher leveled spell slot. Naturally you can't do as many of those without resting.

Still other actions/spells are trivial for you to do. You can do those as many times as you'd like, and you don't feel (significantly) affected by them. These are your cantrips - the simplest spells, that can still be very useful.

I like this variation of the theory not just for the gaming flavor, but also because it changes the concept slightly from "this takes more spoons than that" to differently sized spoons, which feels more in line with how I relate to the tasks that give me trouble.
That was my assumption just upon reading the title.
That's not really how its supposed to work, though
> No NVIDIA GPU, because I want to use Linux and NVIDIA hates Linux

Is this a voting-with-your-wallet position for open drivers / better Linux support, or have you experienced issues in the past with the proprietary drivers?

I ask because Linux with an Nvidia gpu is my daily driver (desktop), and I’m likely to build another system like that again, was just curious what I don’t know.
Google Keep is great for quick to-do lists and ideas. however once you have 100+ notes that it can get quite difficult to organise. This is where Supernotes has an advantage giving users a lot more flexibility, here's just a few differences:

- Infinitely nestable hierarchy

- Note-cards support multi-parents

- Bi-directional links between note-cards

- Pinned note-cards

- Filter note-cards by tags, author and more
Good for us to be in the age of 0.01% marketshare Rust where probably 80% of the software runs on the shabby JVM.

Too bad we're talking about software license here.
Apparently yes, I doubt a generic ARM assembly tutorial that writes "Hello, world" to stdout would get almost 400 points. It's not like M1 is a totally new architecture.

Conversely, saying anything bad about M1 or anything related to it, like this article, is a good way to piss people off on this forum.
"the prevalent chemotherapy is detrimental to cells all over the body" I'm not a doctor, but isn't the case that the prevalent chemotherapy is detrimental to new/growing cells all over the body, which is a way of distinguishing cancer cells (and a few types of tissue e.g. hair) vs most types of non-cancer cells?
Mass creativity follows the path of least resistance. Existence of YouTube - as a much easier and more social venue for self-expression - precludes mass popularity of Flash vids/games. To beat YouTube, a new affordance must be both easier and more socially appealing (because mass creativity tends to be done mostly to show off in front of friends/colleagues or romantic interests).
This reminds me a little of Parler, where many (most?) persona non grata conservatives were gathered before the service was wiped off the web in one night.

Even an “uncensored” and freedom-touting service is very vulnerable if it becomes too popular. Decentralization is best, diversification is better.

Munchron Pet'scans, working to make it understand Pets (type), understand eyes, and Cataracts.

https://munchron.com/petscans is the URL. I've also been doing skin disease and illness detection, like Acne, Herpes, etc.

I haven't been allowed in the App Stores as it's been considered a Medical "Diagnosis" tool, which it isn't, it's an attempt at detecting and also state everywhere, it is NOT a diagnosis.

But, yeah, that's what I have been doing.

Note: In time it will be better, I keep asking Vets and Animal shelters for photos of animals with Cataracts.
Someone recently found a patent filing from Apple suggesting this very possibility

Because of Economies of scale.

There is nonlinear decrease in the cost per unit when the number of units sold increases. The total cost per unit depends on how many units are produced.

If you process the waste from few units, the disposal fee per unit is very expensive. If you sell thousands of units, you can plan for very large scale standardize disposal procedure that drives down price to fraction what it for small number of units.

Customers don't want to pay for startup risk. So first 100 - 500 units sold could be too expensive.

You could solve this problem by selling the company to someone big, like Berkshire Hathaway Energy. They have shoulders to take the risk and money to do the capital investments when the time comes.
They tweeted that they went from 10M+ to 50M+ installs on Google Play recently, so that’s probably what’s happening:

The "downage" is intermittent; sending messages for me (middle of the US on Google Fiber) alternates between taking forever to send and straight-up failing. Desktop app keeps showing the yellow "Disconnected" banner. At first I thought Google Fiber was down again (it's snowing right now...) but checking #Signal on Twitter and DownDetector.com clued me in pretty quick that this was a Signal issue. I was wondering if a massive influx of users might lead to growth pains.

As others mentioned, no idea who runs this and also DNS queries are slower from Chennai, India. I'm getting 400ms and it's much higher than others (30ms for google dns and 50ms for cloudflare)

The death rate doesn't capture the full impact of covid. As ICUs fill up, they delay treatment for patients that have non-Covid related illnesses that still require an ICU.

The criticism of the President comes from the demonstrable fact that he simply did not take it seriously, and constantly contradicted and undermined the scientific leadership in an attempt to prop up the stock markets long enough to win re-election.
was looking for this sort of comment to confirm my bias. I'm trying to figure out what is it about how I feel about reflex:
the idea that even with this you still have to reach for js libs or am I just being lazy. I guess a little bit of both maybe.

But it's true, even though our app is pretty straight forward crud, we still need things like autocomplete, drag and drop, tabs, modals, form validation etc. Just having js being js and ruby being ruby seems easier for me to parse and work with.
One of their stated goals is "DNS Neutrality" - has the domain of a legal (but unpopular) website (such as a neonazi blog, etc) ever been knocked offline from a DNS standpoint by activist private corps? Or is this a preventive measure?
I gotta challenge on the British one. PBS is not only a thing, it's a thing a lot of people watch, just a different age demographic (mostly). I grew up on old reruns of Monty Python's Flying Circus and Are You Being Served as much as I grew up on Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh.

Don't even get me started about Downton Abbey.
Dependencies, dependencies, dependencies. All for a simple console program. And you end up with a console app that is 20-100MB. Traditionally this program was a few KB. It can still, if you use the right language(s).

Making software should not be about making the life of the developer as easy as possible, it should be about making things easy, small, and FAST for the user.
The high metabolic rate is used. Some forms of chemotherapy kill cells that replicate quickly. That's why hair falls out and patients puke - the gut lining replicates quickly.

At least that's my understanding. I'm not in the field.
I mean...an extra 50 watts maybe? Not great but doesn’t seem like a huge deal.
You're estimates sound about right. For my cousin at least, I know what how much he gets paid for his portion of the crop yield each year, but I'm just estimating on the acreage he maintains. So I'm clearly underestimating the amount of land he's working.
I'm listening now and this is actually making me anxious. The music is the kind you'd hear in 80s movie montages right before something important is going to happen. I'm now anxiously waiting to find out what major plot point happens next.
Except the person you're talking to is a gardener, who uses a chainsaw frequently, and is saying that indeed the beginner is right to point out that we should definitely be using a better tool than a chainsaw.

And then people shout them down because they've apparently become so accustomed to using a chainsaw that they honestly can't imagine a better way.

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.HULAA.003 They mention an optional 2560×1440 monitor but it's right alongside a mention of an Intel CPU, which is incorrect, so maybe the 2560×1440 is incorrect also.
There are plenty of backup systems that implement a retention policy. Basically everywhere that cares about their email retention policy has them.
I'm sure all the racists that read that will change their views.

This is only relevant because if the price of BTC drops below this, many miners may shut down their hardware.

The amount of money & electricty wasted to generate a BTC is otherwise unrelated to the price of BTC in dollars or other assets.
While I am no prude the 'No Bullshit' right there in big letters while appealing to a certain demographic isn't especially 'professional looking'. Also I am not sure what the 'No BS' is supposed to be saying apart from being provocative - which I don't really look for in a DNS provider. Or as my Grandpa would say .. "Grow up".
How Top iOS Apps Could Save You 0.5GB of Storage
I did the same thing. I use Syncthing for a bunch of thing and it really works well. I'm in the process of rebuilding my offsite backup machine with it. I make a local backup of all my digital pictures and will soon use Syncthing to move a copy of that backup to a relative's house in another state. Even if my house burns down I'll have all my media. The offsite box is a 10 year old desktop running Debian with a 12Tb drive in it. Backup server is set to "send only" and offsite copy is set to "receive only" so it's a one-way pipe.
According to the Rust evangelists only Rust solves problems - and it solves all the problems in the world, while C/C++, Java, Go or C# just create problems.

This sounds more like a wishlist of features that elite Apple developers want, than what Apple is likely to do.
I think it's just that unfortunately a lot of these laptops are geared towards gamers, and pretty much all gaming laptops have 16:9 aspect-ratio, and they also usually use high refresh-rate screens, which are also almost entirely in 16:9 aspect-ratio.
The author can download VSCode, which is an Electron / Chromium app, and write code in it. It has really easy integrations with the command line and lots of other tools as well. It even has features to let you use containerized backends for things like NodeJS. This is almost exactly the solution the author is complaining doesn't exist.

It's also a pity that Blake is fairly hard to find in the (old) Tate museum, almost lost in a small loft, if memory serves (I visited twice, last time in 2016).

The real answer is: unless you have an anechoic chamber, you wanna have an EQ to tune out the room effects. It's not as expensive as you might think too.
There's still a charging brick powering the wireless charger so isn't the 75-85% stacked on top of the 80-90%? That gives you 56-77% efficiency.

I'm a little confused. The worst case scenario for Pandemrix is a tiny chance of developing narcolepsy. Literally a few tens of people for a country. Is that wrong?

You're right. The problem is the people using Parler and Bitcoin, not the technologies themselves. Luckily, we can use these technologies to track them down.

A problem is that insulators work better with a lower temperature gradient, so hotter storage will lose more energy per second.
I love hearing this story!

I'm using https://www.nuget.org/packages/CommandLineParser/ for command-line parsing, but found it awkward when handling bools and their defaults are true, then you can't set to false, and in order to do so you have to make them optional, and then your flag becomes: --something=false, not terrible, but not great either, I would've preferred --no-something instead, other than that it serves me well. though would check Spectre.Console too!
