That's fair. Battery has never been great on this laptop, but certainly the health has significantly gone down. I guess I rarely notice because I don't really leave the house with it.
I have the same issue with my PX, every two months or so I have to use the paper clip to hard reboot them. Kind of annoying to need to do for a $400 pair of headphones, but they sound great, look good, and are very comfortable.

The endgame here is bizarre.

I can see a future in which there is no online trust at all. Not news, not proclamations, not even previously trusted sources. This trust erosion threatens the very fabric of government.

If I stop trusting remote sources, who can I actually trust? City government with a physical presence, well known physical police and government officials known personally to me, and no others.

This troubling trend does not end well.

Which may not actually be a problem for most people. The thing that's stopping me from selling my Twitter account to a disinformation network is not my fear of losing access to Twitter, it's that I care about the problem of disinformation and don't want to see myself in the news for something like that.

I'm sure there are thousands of people who'd sell a simply-verified Twitter account, and they probably wouldn't even demand that much. People are already spending hours a day trying to sell their nudes, and still only making a few hundred dollars total (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/13/business/onlyfans-pandemi...).
This is an unknown. We know covid has spread to minks. There have been reports that it can spread to other animals. If covid spreads to something wild we may always have COVID coming back to humans from the wild animals around.
It will be when they need a reason to, no doubt.

These rules carry the stench of only being enforced when the powers so will it.

Not as though that would make a difference, hitherto they could surely find a way regardless.

Rule of law has never existed anywhere, especially since those who desire most to be the arbitrators of the law are also the ones who desire most to bend it to their will. The man who desires to be a judge is often indeed quite judgemental.

I noticed that, and said so in another post...

I haven't closely followed RISC-V but I think the deal is it's scalable. You can build low end and high end processor cores with it.

A PIC or ARV etc can really never be a high end machine. And something like a modern 0x86 would really never be low end either. A small aside legacy processor cores on modern CMOS can do fast bit twiddling while consuming trivial amounts of power and die area.

I don't expect anything from anyone, it's about what I need. I need Nvidia GPUs in my setup to run my trainings. If Wayland maintainers wants me to move on from X11 they will have to make it work. Right now they don't want to (which is fine!) but that means I can say I do not consider Wayland to be a viable alternative to X11 for me.
Maybe but that's the method that Tesla is using and something has to be done to get the EV industry jump started no matter if that's Tesla or Others that get that EV market made feasible!

But the ICE automakers are all going to be offering EVs and on their Own to make their own credits usable but Tesla/others are eventually going to be viable without the credits needed.

Like many things in tech: first mover isnt always a winning strategy. Many people had free trading before RH. RH just did it better with a mobile-first gamified experience.

The same dopamine hit you get from sharing or liking on social media, well you get that when your net worth just went up by a few pennies. The RH UI/UX enforced this gambling-like environment.

A killer product would have brought something like r/wsb+RH into 1 app- focus on sharing your "gain porn".
I have been waiting to try that one for a long time. I always found it annoying that the linux filesystem is not self-explanatory.

I agree. This is the classic “you don’t understand it if you can’t explain it” problem. If you don’t have the domain nailed down in plain speak, there are risks to productivity - especially if an entire team is involved. Business logic becomes open to interpretation at implementation time. That means a different solution for any developer who happens to implement it, and each one potentially incorrect and unable to interface with correct code in its own way.

I’ve set myself up for failure this way, essentially by assuming things would just fit into place as more of the project became clear. That’s a really bad way to work, haha. But you learn as you go.
This hits the spot. People are acting like Wayland developers are taking X and everything they liked about it away from them when in reality you can just continue running X if you don't like any particular Wayland compositor.

The Wayland world will continue improving and chances are your problems will be sorted out one way or another in the future. But attacking people working to improve the status quo without any obligations on your side is fucked up beyond reason.
People downplay software architects but I've found it's a critical role. You have to interface between business and stakeholder requirements, modeling the domain effectively, engineering management, product processes and then reality.
A lot of business logic ends up encoded in the software so you really want to isolate it as much as possible so that when change is needed you know where to look. That and you have to create a lot of documentation and train new developers and stakeholders. So it's really a job where you spend 95% of your time contextualizing, writing and communicating to others. It's a bit like doing continuous self reflection of a project.

It's kind of a thankless job, do your job well and it's like flowing water and nobody notices you. Do it badly and things dam up quickly.
I don't think it's about ancient compatibility but rather just the fact that audiophile stuff tends to have it and if you are marketing to audiophiles, might as well design it that way. I have a pretty modern stereo receiver (Onkyo A-9010) as my computer's headphone amplifier and it has the bigger socket only. Same with my home theatre receiver (also an Onkyo).

But I believe there's no difference in listening experience. The bigger plug is probably a lot sturdier though. I've had some 3.5 mm jacks bend on me. Can't imagine that on the good ol' 6.3. I have totally busted a 6.3 mm to 3.5 mm adaptor though.
According to this the Australian High Court bills of attainder are unconstitutional. Meaning not within the powers granted to the federal government, as those are judicial powers instead.

This is true of the multiverse too. It is an attempt to explain why things are like they are rather than a testable theory.

As the original post acknowledged, judging audio is subjective even when done by professionals. He also points out that the AirPods Max makes things vary from person to person due to its DSP (This seems like buying and enjoying these headphones is an even bigger roll of the dice. Why didn’t he make a bigger deal out of this?)

That said, my understanding was that Bose was a running joke among audiophiles, so I was surprised that the author of your link recommended them. Makes me think he might not actually know what he’s talking about. But I’m no audiophile...
Whelp.

I just learned more about humidifiers from your comment than from reading zillions of reviews.

I seem to recall my brother's fish tank increased the humidity. Could a bucket with an aquarium style aerator also work?

--

Adding my thoughts here ("Yes, and...") because your input was most constructive.

Review sites could go even further. Start with the most basic DIY home build solutions possible. Just to show how things work. Like a reverse teardown. Even include some basic metrics and science. Like watts consumed, evaporative rates, etc.

Per the AQI problems, in China and Western USA (forest fires), there was a semi-viral video for a DIY air filter using just a box fan and bog standard air filter.

So many other products, appliances could receive similar treatment.

It'd be nothing to use a stove top to mock up at a warm mister. Ditto cool mister (bucket, old t-shirt, fan). And maybe repurpose a sonic tooth brush for an ultrasonic mister.
You're right that it's more complicated with Real User Monitoring, and not everything can be done inside our Worker. However, we bundle the content of the RUM script with our response (saving the browser another request), and we make sure it actually arrives only to, let's say, 1% of your traffic, or never to those on 3G. With GTM, Segment, or any other client-side third party manager this would be impossible because the rules evaluation is done in the browser. I don't really recommend running a RUM script for _all_ of your traffic - IMHO it misses the point of giving your users a better experience.
You have seen it too! I have been noticing it online since the mid 2000's. It is not a spam bot either.

These seem like totally different roles. And the hours I've spent staring at the AWS console trying to figure whether I need "Elastic Beanball3" says to me that Amazon could use maybe just a little architecture. But I'm sure the Beanball Principal Engineer is quite proud of their resounding impact.
Fair, although back at the time they came out it meant something different. Mobile-optimized websites in 2008 were horrible, stripped-down things.
GME was not undervalued. Its a dying company.

They sell physical copies of video games. In the ear of digital content, even worse companies are selling game passes - ie rent our game catalog for a month. This is literally Blockbuster vs Netflix of video games world.

The hedge funds were trying to prey on Gamestop's dying corpse, and WSB players figured out how to take advantage of it.

I think the reality is the WSB big guys needed to hype up the short squeeze and 'sticking to the man' to cause the boubble. And it worked out great.

That in itself is not bad, but it will become a problem when the main players start to slowly exit, the greedy middle will have (what is it called) stop sells set up in case of fall, and then it will quickly collapse and who will be left with their pants down waking up in the morning to see its all gone?

The "I am holding till zero" crowd.

The idealists are always taken advantage of by the shrewd leaders of any movement.

If you take part, just pay attention to it, and exit or at least take some profit when you start seeing signs of it.
I don't expect the community to be happy, I would say I more expect a community of engineers to be realistic. The ship has unfortunately sailed long ago and it's not coming back.
Yes. It’s our own Tower of Babel. All built in the name of 3rd party advertising.
I've had a pair of HD650s since college. In that time, I've replaced the ear cups, the head cushion, and even the cable a few times. All the parts are available where the headphones are sold, and they pop right in without any effort (or even the need for instructions).

They say things aren't designed to last or to be repaired anymore, but some things are, and they're great!
> ost wayland advocates can't seem to understand the philosopy of "I don't really care about xorg vs wayland, my current xorg-based setup works well enough for me, i'll switch when I can be equally productive on wayland".

Because usually the part "my current xorg-based setup works well enough for me" is not true. It will be said, when it comes to wayland, and they don't want to switch... but once hidpi or mixed-dpi displays or reliable screen-lock or something other comes on topic, then suddenly "linux" (not xorg, but linux) is behind the times, doesn't work out of the box as other systems do and requires hours and hours of configuring.

That's the "my current xorg-based setup works well enough for me" in the full glory.
the file system as a database for files... what a novel concept
IMO the best solution is to just have natural breakpoints (i.e. when a part of the design of the given page would cease to work, add a breakpoint to change the format of that component, rather than at predefined points) and then for logged in users have an option to request the desktop design, which you can do by simply setting a viewport to 1000px width and leaving everything else unchanged

what would be really nice would be element-size-based media queries. you can use javascript to do it but that sucks
Happy user of Sway for almost a year already(https://github.com/rvolosatovs/infrastructure/commit/b765860...).
Some of the issues you mention I have experienced on X11, but they were fixed once I switched to Wayland.
One of the most notable changes for me was hotplug - I struggled with it on X for many years, now it just works by default and I didn't even need to script anything(https://github.com/rvolosatovs/infrastructure/blob/0e17a1421... and I even wrote my own tool to handle this, because the X11 ecosystem is full of crap https://github.com/rvolosatovs/gorandr).

Overall, my Linux GUI experience has never been as smooth as it is now on Wayland and I tried pretty much all common DEs/WMs in last 8 years.

X11 is not even remotely close to being "there" compared to Wayland and if Gnome implementation sucks, then please first try better implementations first before writing comments like this.

No, Wayland protocol is not perfect and yes, some niche use cases are still not covered, which is why various extensions of the protocol are still being developed. X11 at it's current state is nothing but a collection of hacks glued together. Wayland is, however, a very robust, secure and well-designed modern protocol, which, most importantly and contrary to X11, actually works.
-shrugs- I don’t get that from that paragraph, but I guess it depends on how one thinks the author means “domain”.

I’m used to meeting “domain experts” who know all about the corner cases in the current implementation. Often they are the people who argue with the suits and it never ends well for them.

Aren't CSS breakpoints usually based on width and not orientation? I have always done it based on width.

The width of the window is probably dropping below a breakpoint when he reorients the screen.
It can. As can Chrome on Android. Just request the "Desktop site" version. It's pretty unusable though, which is why we have responsive websites :-)

So they stole tips for years, lied about it repeatedly, kept doing it until the moment they knew they were caught by the FTC, and now all they have to do is pay the exact amount they stole back? Not even with interest? No "stop being an asshole to your workers" penalty? Great news for Amazon.

I love stuff like this. Folks can argue the specifics on their merits and they're welcome to (and should!), but really, having any system that takes the meta-thinking out of the equation is, IMO, a helpful improvement.

It's kind of like fitness -- you can do a million different things, but doing something is better than doing nothing at all. Just pick that something and go!
> Similarly, the equations of quantum mechanics predict multiple "worlds"

No they don’t. If I roll a dice it’ll land on one of 6 faces. That’s a model, in that model I might assume equal probability due to the geometrical symmetry, that’s an assumption. So now I have a problem if all outcomes are equally likely how do I resolve that only one occurs? Well obviously every dice roll must spawn 6 parallel universes... Now nowhere in that model or that assumption does “so there must be 6 parallel worlds spawned when you roll the dice” get predicted by my model. The multiverse/many world is an interpretation, not an outcome of, or even prediction from the model.

There is nothing “right there in the math”. QM makes predictions about probabilistic outcomes, accurate predictions, but there is no requirement for those accurate predictions to be right that there must be multiple parallel worlds.

Stacker (YC S20) | FULL-TIME | REMOTE ONLY (limited to Europe!) . We're on a mission to let anyone create software. We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems:

.

If you're a PRODUCT-FOCUSED ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.

You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser.

You'll be building a Python-based backend that can connect to any data source, and simulate running complex data processes.

You'll taking ideas from programming language design and turning them into flexible functionality that can be used by non-programmers.

You'll be shipping new modules daily, which are used immediately by our users to make their apps work better and do more.

.

If you're a MULTI-SKILLED PRODUCT DESIGNER (UI+UX+Product), come and help us design a modular product that empowers non-developers to build the software they need.

You'll be creating a flexible design system that we can be customized by the user and still look great.

You'll be taking common web features like news feed and messaging, and stripping them down to their most pure form so they work in any app.

You'll be designing a set of modules that let non-technical users feel empowered and able to create amazing, innovative apps.

.

We're recently funded, and are a fully remote team, but (pandemic permitting) we get together every few months.

We believe in Radical Transparency, being Empathetic and Kind and Making a Dent in the Universe.

Again, hiring within Europe, and as always, no recruiters ;)
You don't need to rotate your screen; just shrink your browser. I know that lots of people like to use fullscreen windows, but that makes me feel claustrophobic; text ought to be formatted in narrower columns for comfortable reading, so I like narrower browsers. This often fools websites into sending me the phone layout, which is unhelpful and annoying.
