I started getting in the habit of using Typescript with JS. It's annoying at first, but worth it for any decent sized codebase. All the bugs from JavaScript's unexpected type conversions just disappear.
Double-spending doesn't change the rules, it changes where coins get sent, so you can rip-off the original recipient.
Biomass has low energy density, but that has nothing to do with non-biomass renewable sources, or with storage. The implication that the low density of biomass carries over is a deception.

The argument that nothing that hasn't been commercialized can be considered is a double standard. Nuclear on the scale needed to replace fossil fuels is also currently impossible. The infrastructure to build it isn't there, and the breeder reactors that would be needed to fuel it aren't commercially available either.
Most activism isn't successful. You would find your way to violence very quickly if a few examples of unsuccessful non-violent activism caused you to justify breaking more and more serious laws each time.

How do you know this?
Me too. This is creepy. I mean, being naked, chased by monsters, flying, or talking to people who are dead... okay, those are some ancient archetypes or whatever. But the missed math class in college is just too modern and too specific.
Wayland is kind of unique in that it is deliberately, intentionally impossible to run applications written for any other window system on top of it. All the others are pretty well cross-compatible - Win32 applications can run on X11 and vice-versa with an appropriate compatibility shim, both can run on OS X just fine too, and in theory OS X apps could probably run on other platforms if anyone cared to develop the code to do it, but none of them can run under Wayland. By design. The only reason XWayland works is because every Wayland compositor currently bypasses the limited Wayland APIs and implements a large chunk of X-specific code to enable it, and if they ever get tired of maintaining that say goodbye to compatibility with any existing pre-Wayland GUI applications regardless of original platform.
The site doesn't seem to be using cache, and is awfully slow. Or just me? I checked the headers, and found no-cache no-store.
LOL I thought Diablo was an old daisy-wheel printer. Gives away that I'm not a gamer.
I'm surprised the original[1] MS Natural Keyboard is not listed in the mass-market page. Maybe it's because it's not made anymore. I still have mine, it's years old, but it still works and I still love it, it seems to be the perfect angle for my hands.

Even though it is absolutely enormous.

Even if that were possible, Ongwen may be too damaged to be very effective at such a "punishment." And it would be very cruel to expose him to the same environment which traumatized him enough to make him into a brutal commander.
I 3D printed my keyboard. Sometimes I talk about it on HN and have prepared a fairly detailed email about it because people have follow-up questions that require diagrams. I'm too lazy to put it on my blog, but if you want the details just email me and I can probably point you in the right direction.

Building a keyboard is tedious, but not particularly difficult.
It seems like a misdirection of resources to me, like the cops catching speeders on open roads. Instead of investigating and preventing crime they stop someone who is above the speed limit, talk to them really condescendingly and issue a fine. That stuff does wonders for the perception of law enforcement but lines the city's coffers.
Does Demon's Souls count as a remaster?
It really doesn't, we shouldn't be redefining words. I suspect you actually mean sharing of historical room keys with new room members.
> just as depression is a maladaptive persistent overlearned estimate of the world as threatening, unrewarding, and pointless

That we can look at the lives of millions of people in America in 2021 and call their abject misery 'maladaptive' or 'overlearned' is ghastly. I know I'm supposed to offer more in an HN comment, and I'm not trying to call you names. But if I told that to someone in psychotherapy I'd deserve more than just losing my license.

I don't doubt that looking inside people's biology for clues about what's going on when they suffer these kinds of anguish is interesting or potentially helpful, but I can say two things quite confidently on the matter:

1) After 60 years of dominance, the biological-psychiatric project's track record is dismal and has failed to move any population-level needle on the levels of suffering it tries to study and ameliorate

2) Focusing on biology at the expense of questions about "context" or "environment" or "maybe this depressive is reacting exactly appropriately to their horrible existence" is a staggering waste of brainpower and money and time, and it leaves me at a loss for words. Outside of the social strata represented on HN (and probably within it to some degree) the world is "threatening, unrewarding, and pointless" for vast numbers of human beings, and I'd challenge anyone to sit in front of such a person and tell them to their face that it isn't. If there exist "regular experiences which should falsify those beliefs and lead to learning (but doesn't)", I got news for you: those experiences aren't prompting "learning" because they're not enough. This is like telling hungry people to feel more full after feeding them a saltine cracker.

You can't "cure" depression by pumping people full of prescribed psychotropics - the major mental health effort of the past half century - any more than you can do so by pumping them full of vodka. Address poverty, address violence, address a litany of social ills - and I mean really address them - and you'll see what happens to depression.

Excuse me, but this touched a nerve.

The technology site Silicon Alley Insider got hold of some of the messages and, this past spring, posted the transcript of a conversation between Zuckerberg and a friend, outlining how he was planning to deal with Harvard Connect:

FRIEND: so have you decided what you are going to do about the websites?
ZUCK: yea i’m going to fuck them
ZUCK: probably in the year
ZUCK: *ear

In another exchange leaked to Silicon Alley Insider, Zuckerberg explained to a friend that his control of Facebook gave him access to any information he wanted on any Harvard student:

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard
ZUCK: just ask
ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?
ZUCK: people just submitted it
ZUCK: i don’t know why
ZUCK: they “trust me”
ZUCK: dumb fucks
I was young and dogmatic, so I did admittedly despise Microsoft back then. I can't recall I ever heard of IEDevToolbar, though. Did it really feature the DOM tree view where you could do CSS manipulation? I always had the impression that it was a Firebug invention, but I could be wrong about that.
> And, it's not a court of law. At best, it's "allegedly moved files when they weren't supposed to".

Are you operating under the assumption that nothing should ever be stated as a fact unless determined by a court of law? Because that's not how I think of things.

(I do agree that Google is a biased actor here. If I hear that Margaret Mitchell disputes moving files in contravention of company policy I will give her the benefit of the doubt. But my default assumption will be that everyone is telling the truth about basic facts.)

>Your career is dependant on good recommendation letters and goodwill of quality advisors

life pro tip: for any paper with more than 2 authors, the last author is the most senior and did the least amount of work (if any). i leave it to you to conjecture about quid pro quo.
It's not just the employer. James' Damore's memo silenced a lot of the more conservative thinkers, especially as he didn't even want that memo to be public, just a research on a mailing list. Harassment from the political left was very strong at Google, that it was just a matter of time until it bit back.

As for me as a white man although I was just doing my job silently, I didn't feel appreciated and tried to isolate myself from meetings / politics and just focus on work (and was happy to leave 1 year after that memo). The fun old times when we could just focus on making the user happy and talk about doing cool stuff was over.
Have to disagree with you on Half Life: Source. It’s way too glitchy to enjoy from start to finish. I’d recommend playing Black Mesa instead.
From what I gathered so far the engine hasn’t been touched. The actual d2 is running underneath and an overlay is running on top with the new graphics. Can’t find any sources for this but it has been mentioned by MrLlamasc and a couple of others d2 streamers commenting on blizzcon streams.
> Speaking up internally is pretty clearly ineffective

I suppose it depends on the specific role, but oftentimes your job is to advise, not to win.
I personally enjoy the classic graphics more.

Shame that it's not coming to macOS. Does anyone have any experience gaming through Parallels? I have a 16-inch MBP. I have never ran Windows on it though.
I don't think that your last statement is supported.
Why isn't rehabilitation possible and why is it impossible that public safety can be ensured?

You seem to assume that intelligent individuals are more difficult to rehabilitate but I see it is just as likely that the opposite the opposite. The burden of demonstrating public safety and rehabilitation should always be on the individual, but I don't see why that is impossible.
The point of an OS is to run apps. Given a headless machine, which windows apps would you be interested in running and why would you chose windows over linux? About the only reason in the past has been IIS and MS SQL Server. With .NET core and linux sql server, what reasons are left? An affinity for command.com?
How on earth do people actually type on some of these?

Are people just not actually writing code with these ultra minimalist things?
https://www.ausgamers.com/news/read/3634147/diablo-2-resurre...

> Announced during BlizzConline, Diablo II: Resurrected is basically a dream scenario for the seminal action-RPG release -- it retains the core experience of the game yet still manages an impressive remake-level visual overhaul. A spectacular looking 3D overlay that sits on-top of a 2D core.
There is very little evidence GeneSight results mean anything for efficacy. Tolerability and dose metabolism in the best case.
Personally, I can hardly think of a better first project. The electronics are dead-simple and the hardware is so much up to personal preference that you can just tinker until you are happy.

(I built my first keyboard about 7 years ago as my first foray into 3D modeling and printing. It went well enough that I used it as my main driver until I got a Keyboardio Model 1 years later.)
It will have a key to switch between old and new graphics. They mentioned they don't want to touch the gameplay, not even bugfixes. It's primarily a graphics remaster, the gameplay will stay the same.

I wonder if they can recover the HD the other video says is impossible.
Well... I think the common consensus is that servers and automatic updates don't go together. For the most part you don't want your server deciding to upgrade its database/etc at random times.

Similarly for the "accessible UI" bits, particularly if your managing more than a single server and you want to say upgrade a few thousand of them at the same time.

In both cases its pretty "easy" to configure a more server mgmt related tool to do those operations (hence cockpit! or anisible GUIs/etc). If you looking for a more android level of software mgmt then its pretty easy to install the desktop tooling on something like fedora server that comes with fedora workstation. With that you get nice app stores layered on top of both the traditional dnf/rpm package mgmt as well as flatpak and various other container technologies. For a single home/etc server, just install something like fedora server, and group install one of the desktop/etc profiles during setup (or later if it suits you).
Well, I distinctly remember there being a lot of hype a while after Ultima IX came out that Ultima X would be a reimagining of UO in 3D. I'm not sure how much of that was wishful thinking on the part of gamers that were looking for a silver lining in the steaming pile that was Ultima IX (me included) and how much of that was founding in fact, or at least the plans of Origin/EA. One would think if UO was so successful they would want to funnel people into something new with even more longevity.

On a side note, Ultima IX was not only not a good game, it's the only game I know of that ever sent me a complete set of new CDs with an updated version on them months after release without me even specifically requesting it. I still remember the mostly (entirely?) blank white tri-fold (or quad fold?) cardboard CD enclosure it came in with all new disks. I don't think I ever used them, partly because I already had that version or one better from the internet prior to it arriving, and partly because the game still had such horrible performance on my moderately good system that I had already given up on it because the gameplay itself wasn't nearly good enough to make me subject myself to that.
PSA: Always turn off your watermain if you're leaving for any appreciable amount of time. Especially if its due to freezing cold. Even in northern climates a lot of people forget this with unfortunate consequences, a frozen pipe will leak.
It seems that copy_file_range is in fact quite similar to splice, which the article has also mentioned as a fallback. But what's fundamentally the difference between them? That copy_file_range should only work on regular files on a non-virtual file system, and splice should only work if one end is a pipe?
> but you’d think that specifically someone in AI ethics needs to be empowered to speak up against both internal external issues.

I'd think ethical (AI or not) researcher would work far away from Google's influence as possible if they really want to analyze Google AI work.

> Makes me wonder if project zero is really trying as hard as possible

I wouldn't be surprised if project zero find as many vulnerabilities as possible in Google's software and give them a chance to fix quietly.

If there are huge security problems to be found in their software then independent researchers can make big name/fame and money by publishing them out.
The screen shake looked pretty legit.
Obvious fallacy here: we are all descendants of those humans who survived - at least until having children. Those who offed themselves early are selected out of the genepool.

Note the above is not to suggest that there’s not a number of factors of a modern environment that we’re not properly/perfectly adapted for. But the handwavy “people weren’t depressed and anxious in the old days” is an illusion.

I really want this but the Warcraft 3 remaster was so so so bad that I'm holding my breath until I can play it first.
I was pretty addicted to Diablo 2 for a couple years as a teenager. Never got into WoW or anything, but I wasted at least one entire summer doing nothing but playing Diablo 2.

Never was a big fan of 3. It felt more like playing some kind of diablo themed version of gauntlet or something with a bit more depth. It didn't feel like Diablo 2. I tried another recent one that was supposed keep the spirit of diablo 2. I think it was path of exile. I never got into it the same way. It was better than Diablo 3 but still didn't quite capture what made diablo 2 so addictively awesome.

As far as atmosphere and everything goes, diablo 1 was always best at that. Diablo 2 brought the series in a different way, but diablo 2 was something else.

The open battlenet games were utterly ridiculous. Hacked items to the point of nonsense. Like you couldn't even see what was happening on.the screen, but it was fun playing with those sketchy editors that were more often than not likely malware.

Mostly though, my memories are from the closed battlenet games. Lots of time spent gaming with random people I never seen again, but we'd spend hours getting through an act or two together, race for treasure and just have good times. Helping low levels run through the game so they can mule for their high level characters and farm, cheap shots from high level characters that went hostile immediately, good PvP duels, item runs, and just generally lots of fun.

I still remember the day I stepped into a game playing my level 84 hardcore(permadeath) character...somebody went hostile immediately, I was somewhere pretty obscure so I thought it'd be alright, stepped through the waypoint...was dead before the screen loaded, of all the places I picked...that's where they were, that game had like 60 way points or something...that was pretty heartbreaking...

I dunno, I've yet to find an online game with the same kind of community. There was hackers, griefers, people really into the game, item farmers, pvpers, it was a varied mix of gamers under a barely moderated environment, yet somehow it worked and it was pretty amazing. At least when blizzard was active with d2. Near the end it started to decline and the hackers took over, still in its golden age, d2's closed battlenet was pretty great and I haven't really gotten into an online game in the same way since.
They don't control the upgrade: new miners can simply come in to take the free rewards on the new coin if the existing ones refuse to do it.

All that matters is the market's valuation of the currency: it would be irrational for miners to do anything except expand until their costs nearly match the reward.

I'm excited for runewords :)
A solution there would just be to add a similar large chunk of Wine-specific code, which could be an option now if none of the other options work. There is no real other way to do it if the other window systems are going to break the security assumptions in Wayland.

Edit: AFAIK the only real reason X11 needs special support is because functionality that would normally be provided by an X window manager needs to be provided by the Wayland compositor, most of the heavy lifting translating the X11 protocol is done out-of-process in XWayland. The amount of code needed there on the Wayland server side is actually not particularly large, I don't know enough about all usages of the Win32 API to say how that compares.
> It’s a really common refrain here that if you are employee critical of your employer you should expect to get fired

I don't know how common that refrain is but I have one a little less controversial: if you use corporate email to exfiltrate confidential documents or coworkers' personal information, you really should expect to get fired.

I have yet to experience this. Granted XWayland makes any utilities not running in Wayland work perfectly for me. The only issues that I have ran into were because of screen-sharing not being supported by Electron. OBS works perfectly though. However, keep in mind that I use sway. I've heard horror stories from KDE and Gnome running on Wayland, but, as far as I know, this is because they apparently have terrible implementations. The benefits for me are the lack of screen tearing and Wayland just feels smoother.
Yeah but the current models are quite different from the original one. Mostly in size - they shrunk them down to more acceptable dimensions.

The original is notable just for how enormous it is.
Actually, I wasn't. Thanks for that.

(undo-redo) doesn't seem to be defined in stock Emacs, but undo-tree defines (undo-tree-redo), which does the needful.

My comment was more about lamenting the defaults in comparison with vim's, but it's true that it doesn't take much configuration to make it much better.
Sure, and you can configure it as a wireless router with a different SSID from your main network. Connect to it when you want to use Tor, then go back to your main network when you want better throughput/latency/jitter and you don't want half of the internet to treat you like a bot.

Apart from using Tor, you can route your DNS to avoid your ISP, which makes sense in a world where ISPs have your name/address/bank# and use what they know about you to make money.
That's a fair opinion but is there any data on that?
Gebru was fired for unprofessional conduct and disturbing the work place. She tried to sneak a Google authored paper through internal peer review, by submitting it on the day of the deadline, and having the paper approved without incorporating any feedback of the internal review. Then she wrote an angry unhinged email to her colleagues and subordinates, where she said that Google was marginalizing Black women for speaking out about diversity and that KPI diversity metrics do no matter, they can be ignored. Then she threatened resignation, if Jeff Dean would not de-anonymize all the internal reviewers. Since that is a demand that no scientific chair can possibly in good conscience satisfy, her bluff was called and she was "resignated". Then, of course, she asked on Twitter for a good employee lawyer, said that Jeff Dean was white privilege, and that Google fired her for advocating for diversity, essentially dissing all her Black colleagues at Google advocating for diversity without any problems relating to their skin color.

Gebru is an absolutely toxic person, who can't keep her politics and racial justice activism outside of her profession or academic work (her work is cited so much, because she actively mails other scientists when they don't cite her work, threatening to call them marginalizing and ignorers of Black women in science -- pity cites).

She is bubbled in a network which supports her with tags suchs as "BelieveBlackWomen" when she publicly smears Google for being racists. No rationality, but stirred up angry feelings. Trust should not be assigned due to skin color or gender. Stop that racism and sexism, it has no place in business or academia.
