I installed the Fedora 34 Beta yesterday, and I am really impressed. I thought the move to a horizontal workspace from years of using the vertical one would be a big change but it really feels quite a lot better. Everything is also just snappier, more responsive and smoother overall - probably in no small part due to GTK4 being hardware accelerated now.

Overall system performance is fantastic so far with Fedora 34, super excited to keep tinkering with it.

Great work by the Gnome Team, and I'm super excited for the future of Gnome!
Does iPad has any professional IDE?
Not quite. Node numbers don't actually correspond to transistor gate length. So it would be like one company saying "we run at 3GHz" and the other saying "we run at 4GHz" when both run at 4GHz.

Separately, what you are saying is true -- size is not the be-all-end-all of processor performance. But GP is referring to the dislocation between nomenclature and geometry.
There's a shortage of shipping containers for the cocaine and opium, too.
Outbreaks continue in some Oregon senior care homes after vaccination. Why?
I'm not up on the details of what happened, and a lot of it seemed a bit like muck-raking to me, but: A lot of people have been advocating for "reconsidering" donations to the FSFE ever since the FSFellowship (formerly the FSFE Fellowship) split from the FSFE in 2018.
Means that the typical mensa member is not necessarily the typical high IQ person.
Moreover, you don't even need to pass an IQ test to join MENSA US.

Would you say your membership was worth the fees required to join? What do you get out of being a member?
The developer addressed this comment here https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/issues/102#issuecomment-8...
Yes. It's a weird bunch (not in a bad way!).

I went to their meetings a couple times by invitation, and it never really "clicked" - for many of their members, their MENSA membership and related activities are a big part of their identity and their life, and I wasn't able to connect. I heard the same thing from a couple of friends who also met their entrance criteria, and there's certainly a lot of selection bias. Which is fine, but it's not representative by any means.
Targeting a company for their own policies and actions is much different than targeting a company because someone you don't agree with works there. That is the difference I see between boycotts and cancel culture.

I have guinea hens for pest mitigation and when the coyotes and/or hawks have picked off enough I just buy more. I pay about $2 each, it’s not worth getting a trained dog to watch over them, especially since coyotes and raptors do me a huge solid by keeping the cottontail population in check
It does not mean everyone is like that. I was in care of one of world renown specialists in their field and I was just a case to them. They were more interested in documenting what I am going through in their journals than finding out how to help. At least this is how I felt about it. It may look great for an outsider, as they write papers, speak at conferences, show their findings, but somehow the human element is lost in all that.
> Super + type whatever I'm thinking, and presto, it's there.

I often have several windows of the same application open at the same time (particularly browser and terminal). When I want to switch from say the IDE to the _right_ browser window, how do I do that in Gnome? (I use Workspace Matrix[0] as I'm a visual type, and that works for me, but perhaps there's a better way?)

Vendoring gems solves lots of problems: GitHub/RubyGems outages, yanked gems, credentials sharing in CI/CD, and as a bonus, deployments are quicker.

Negative side effects: You need to update your vendor cache periodically, your repo increases in size, and native gems have problems if if you develop on a different platform than you deploy.
> a constant worry that I'll miss a dependency in my useEffect call and end up crashing my browser session.

As an fyi for anyone not aware, there are eslint/tslint plugins for this to help avoid it.
He's saying that, on average, a high IQ person does not find Mensa valuable or interesting and so does not bother to join.

Whereas, someone who is lonely, searching community, depressed, etc and _also_ has a high IQ would be more likely to apply and join.

The fact that you happen to be normal, healthy, and a Mensa member isn't particular important when speculating about the possible selection bias. Although, we are just speculating.
Agreed. These are fair points of consideration. In my case though, the main one to consider is speed of development.
The GC is still a key part of the language but it is increasingly only used for things that you wouldn't be able to do without a GC anyway (e.g. if you want to pass a closure anywhere without managing it's lifetime you need some kind of GC).

Avoiding the GC has probably never been easier however, and D is already very good at avoiding the garbage in the first place.

I even work on/for D and I'm not a huge fan of the GC, but it is also the case that these questions pop up on sometimes almost quasi-religious grounds: The GC is just a tool, if it gets in your way it's fairly easy to avoid in the sense that you don't call in, it doesn't stop.
Absolutely switch to Bitwarden. Self-hosting is ezpz too.
Training requires millions of games. playing against humans is only for evaluation purposes, not for training.

In both cases, it was indeed a static model but more recent work which is called MuZero is not static and achieves great results in board games and atari.
Last I checked it was impossible to parametrize component type. In React you can write `<MenuSelect<User> users={...} />`.
From the wikipedia page it seems to be a generalization on sampling below the Nyquist frequency can lead to incorrect
interpretation of wave forms but in more dimensions.
My contention would be that many (not all) people are drawn to Mensa because they have difficulty forming relationships in mainstream society. I’d suggest it’s this trait that correlates with mental and physical disorders.
Matcha. Smooth constant rush of caffeine and theanine as your body digests the powder. Pu-erh is another favorite though.
Great book! (and this from someone who does not like Go :)). After reading a bit I was almost ready to jump in again and then I remembered errors and the associate repeating code and I got back to Python.

I have a friend who is constantly trying to drag me though the fence so maybe one day.

You may want to try quasar (https://quasar.dev/) for your VueJS sites - it is excellent.
I believe it will get into much more detail. Lex's approach is to get experts from a wide pool and let them talk, occasionally steering the conversation.

Considering Pieter's background, I believe he will instead dive into more details from people in robotics.
Installed it on my work machine now. We use Google Calendar at work and I much more rather look it using your App :)

It would be nice if I could connect my Apple-calendar with it as that's what I'm using personally.

Ctrl+space short key is nice but canceling it with esc doesn't work for me at least but I have to open the app to get it closed.

Also - I'd use it so much rather if it would be more independent from google. I switched off from Gmail this year so commiting to Google ecosystem this way isn't so nice.

Anyways, all the best for you. Let's see if this will be actually useful for me.
That... is not what's happening here. That narrative is bordering on delusional.

App distributiors are distributing malware. The vendors and the app developers are spying on you because it's profitable to sell your data. They keep walled gardens so that they get their 30% cut of every transaction. They are doing it in the service of their financial interests, which also motivates everything else they do.

The idea that they're doing it out of some kind of charitable desire to keep the user's phone working is ridiculous.
The amount for localities (3% of 350m is 10m) seems pretty measly but good news...
My only issue is that the rule doesn't give you a good way to annotate that the object is documented by its signature. Sometimes devs are lazy, but the rule doesn't make them not lazy so you get pointless docs like:

def matriculate_flange(via: Worble):
"Matriculates flange via a Worble."
Much appreciated, thank you for sharing!

I don't have a specific interest at the moment, but have been more curious about this area recently after getting into regen ag podcasts.
Fully-Featured FM Synthesizer in the Browser Made with Rust, Web Audio, and SIM
> it would be good investment for Apple, Google, or Microsoft to get into fabbing stuff for themselves and others just on the basis of being able to outcompete everyone else in operational efficiency.

They can try...

Surely they have cash, and so did the Chinese who were signing 10 digit cheques for anybody claiming to be able to setup a modern fab.

Running a fab is not like running a cat video website, or making a cookie cutter electronics from reference designs.

On other hand, if there is a company which can turn off the lights on a dotcom companies like them, it will be a big fab business.

TSMC's Morris Chang's integrity, and softness, completely uncharacteristic to the big ambition, ego, and testosterone-driver semi industry, were what made TSMC stood out. Dirty play in the semi industry was everywhere in nineties.

People who are taking over TSMC from Chang may not share his adherence to morals bordering on altruism.

P.S. Saying what that industry was is by no means a meme. Early silicon valley businesses would've given a heart attack to any modern politically correct business exec. Stuff like this was rather common:

https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/blog/wp-content/uplo...

Just read some memories of Fairchild Semi "alums." Stories of men from semiconductor companies stealing each other's wives in the most literal sense, gallons of expensive liquors, contraband Cuban cigars, break-ins into labs, and fisticuffs at business meetings were the world of the valley back then.
Sounds like Intel has solved 10nm and is confident it'll release on desktop this year.
It also reminds me of 30boxes.
I've got a perl website dating back to 2004 - from before php5 was out - that is still used by hundreds of people a day on an internal system.

Works great, the code is deployed by a deb in the same was as it deployed in 2008.

Since initial creation, had about 10 hours effort to put in a mobile view for an iphone and blackberry in 2008/9, and maybe 5 hours effort to replace the <object> with <video> a couple of years ago. Update the 3 files, roll the new deb, and away we go for the next forseeable, until the userbase finally decides that the multi-man-year all-singing replacement that's some javascript heavy frontend and microservice backend actually lets them do their job better (which it seems isn't the case from the complaints it gets)

Sometimes a tool just works and enables you to get on and do things beneficial to your product.
I've seen one in the wild. Actually a beautiful animal.
Fixed now. Ooof.
I would give flutter a shot, it is easier to get started than electron and the insanity that is js for newcomers and has all the tooling you’ll need and pretty straightforward books.
My software engineering classes taught me really well how to implement red black trees. They shouldn’t, so I don’t use them when they aren’t right tool for the job and I should use linked list instead?

That’s the main problem I have with MBA sentiment here. Somehow knowing about something is bad. That’s a very naive viewpoint.
Want to learn a bit more about Mensa?

This is not very high-IQ :)
Urbanization isn't all fine and dandy. In fact, I really don't like living in high density housing at all. I start getting itchy way before we reach high density. Why is it so important to use less space?

I like using more space per person but having less people. Does away almost magically with many issues we see in high density urban areas. I'm not saying we should all live on a farm. Just don't cram thousands of people into a high rise and then build one high rise next to the other for miles.
That's exactly it. There are too many MBA's who have never had a proper job, but will authoritatively tell others how to run a business they know nothing about. An MBA, to the the extent the degree should exist at all, should be something one attains later in life after getting some real world expertise and a hefty amount of domain knowledge.

Only if they coordinate and act like a cartel. Otherwise it's a prisoner's dilemma situation where the party that doesn't raise prices gains market share.
I am quite addicted to coffee, but I've given it up multiple times for 1-2 months. What I've found is that I can get off of coffee easily by substituting tea for coffee and then ween myself off tea. I can skip coffee or other forms of caffeine, but I'll get headaches on day 2.

What always brings me back to coffee is that I find myself in a generally mild depressive state when I'm not drinking it. Coffee makes me feel happy.
Snow Crash is parody literature, but the fantasy is built around very good predictions about the future. He coined the word "avatar" for virtual characters, and the book contains a direct inspiration for google maps.
Literally that you’re a spaz? (sorry, I’d say this if you were my best friend, so nothing personal. It was just too easy. This snark was totally be worth the inevitable downvotes)

Mensa is the most boring organization I ever joined and its members the most self-aggrandizing. I quickly dropped my membership after a year. The Chamber of Commerce was infinitely more interesting.
What you will gain in reusability you will more than lose in costs for 00 gauge copper wire, space constraints and interconnect costs, and likely the transients would still kill you.

You know you're dealing with SJW zealots masquerading as researchers when they base their whole paper on such wrong absolutes:

"Current sentencing risk assessments are racially biased and job advertisements discriminate on gender"

Racial bias is absolute? No degree whatsoever? And no chance that "bias" may reflect general cultural differences (such as higher rate of criminality)?

"systems might use more directly measurable—and more problematic—features such as college GPA upon graduation"

Why and how could possibly college GPA be a problematic feature at all?

Looks like they have a problem with reality.
> But IMO not worth the effort, given it's already fast enough.

Not only that, but if you're testing with the database, you get to test your queries. That seems worth it being a bit slower.
What's the solution? Having a mirror/archive of some kind of the gems I use?
Closed headphones do a better job, because a thick hunk of plastic doesn’t need to predict the incoming noise. I found HD-280 to be pretty comfortable.
I opened the chocolatey website with outright disabled scripts and it works ok. Markup is not very bad, search even works and they have noscript autohiding spinners (didn't know such a thing can exist at all), I suppose it was designed with noscript compatibility in mind.
Think one of the most interesting things I learned in encryption, was that a random xor sheet the same length as your plaintext is perfect encryption.

That the problem only happens when you reuse that sheet.

This doesn’t apply here specifically, but if you would have told me this previously I would have assumed it was securing through obscurity.
TBH it was one of the things I liked about Slashdot. Essentially everyone was thrown into a pool and was expected to moderate, but it was completely random. You also got thrown into a pool to meta-moderate. Those whose meta-moderation scores were good and didn't let the tokens expire too often were thrown into the moderation pool more often. It was pretty difficult to game without a lot of sock-puppet accounts.
Ask HN: Is login with Google a workaround for Apple's app tracking transparency?
With Apple's App Tracking Transparency feature, users can block apps from accessing the unique Device Identifier, so different apps won't be able to share data with each other and ad networks like Google/Facebook, because there's no way for them to know it's the same person/device without that identifier.

Having said that, I would imagine those sites are going to start heavily pushing the "login with Google/Facebook" feature. Using those login features makes it so that the same google account is connected to different apps, and they can now connect the dots on the different data/usage again.

Is this something that would be a feasible workaround for them, or am I missing something? Granted, preventing this would be as simple as not using that login feature.
I don't disagree with much of this.

I was talking specifically about a `def test_displays_error_message_when_refresh_times_out()` function.

That's too big a name for me to keep in my head, so I'd look for other solutions.
Screenshots have no value here because they're so trivial to fake. A Wayback Machine archive would be much better.
How often are those shipped in containers as opposed to DIY submarines?
What I find interesting on that page is that the more recent (past 2-3 decades) college preparatory tests (e.g. SAT) are not accepted as substitutes to IQ tests. Shows the trend of dumbing down the tests, I guess.
The bot has actually never seen Destroyer's big drones during training even once, so I found it somewhat surprising that it even works as well as it does!

Completely agree that adding something like the "League" used by AlphaStar would be one of the top priorities if you wanted to push this project further. I don't think CodeCraft is sufficiently complex to really allow for several very distinct strategies in the same way as StarCraft II, but I would still expect training against a larger pool of more diverse agents to increase robustness quite a bit.

The graphs are horrible. By showing changes between 5.5 and 7.5M you have a rollercoaster. When you show the same graph between 0 and 7.5M, it gets flatter and the huge changes maybe do not mean that much.

This would get a 10/20 mark at my lecture.
I struggle to see how a list of accepted IQ tests supports the idea that you don't need to pass an IQ test to join.
I don't think 'cancel culture' exists... the internet exposes users to a tremendous amount of bad faith actors, taking a quick assessment and acting to save your own time is the natural response to the wave of BS.

I’ll tell you why. Smart people listen to experts. Dumb people listen to other dumb people based on feeling.

Case in point, the current pandemic. High-IQ people will get vaccinated. The people who won’t because of various conspiracy theories and misinformation are probably all low-IQ, so more of them will die.
So where are these videos?
I think it's more that all the big birds the eagles hunted were hunted by humans. It wasn't just moa, the other big birds are gone too. E.g. search for New Zealand here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_gigantism

Please don't. It looks awful. And I think it's not necessary. Typescript should inherit it's type depending on what you are passing into "users".
Yeah, this title is extremely misleading. These are Mensa members who answered an email survey, generalizing it like this isn't valid.
The Dutch Mensa site[0] has the following bullet points in a "high IQ checklist":

- [...]

- Do you often fit poorly into a group?

- Do you sometimes feel desperate due to all those slow people around you?

- [...]

I think that says a lot.

I joined at a young age and after a couple of meetings realized it made no sense at all to me. Joining a club because you have a high IQ is like joining a club because you have a leg or a head. I think immutable attributes in general just aren’t enough to hold a group together, or at least make it interesting. Could be wrong on this one, though.
The phrase "All major democratic reforms for Hong Kong were dropped by British Cabinet decision." does not lead to any credible source, only some mentions on a small number of websites or Reddit.

Compare the Google searches:

- "the colonial governors who ran Hong Kong repeatedly sought to introduce popular elections but abandoned those efforts in the face of pressure by Communist Party leaders in Beijing."

[1] leads to the New York Times article, which I can follow its references.

- "All major democratic reforms for Hong Kong were dropped by British Cabinet decision."

[2] does not lead to any credible source. In fact, some of the sites appear to be disinformation campaigns (don’t take my words, judge for yourself).

I see this as part and parcel of something we've been discussing a lot on HN lately. It's 2021, and the problems of community building are well known by now.

Spam should be really obvious: if you build a messaging medium, people will use it to send spam. It's also going to be used for harassment and other unsavory things. These aren't novel. We've seen them time after time.

There's no one solution to the problem. There are lots of approaches, with pros and cons. But it's long past the time for people to start thinking about them before they roll this out, not after. If you provide communications between people, then the way people behave will affect your customers. These things are people problems, not just technical ones, and failing to take that into account is going to cost you.
They had somewhere better to go. Does reddit have any notable competitors in 2021? I know there are plenty of unsavory clones of the site for people who aren't welcome there, but is anyone actually lining up to take a shot at beating them?
I never really could tell of meta moderation ever ... did a thing tho...

Zero. But even if the project was good and for-profit, it would probably still be zero. It's 100% about personal connections of the founders. Nothing to do with the project.

As an aside, JS does definitely make things feel slower than native in some instances. Regardless, how does generating JS from OCaml make things faster, I wonder?
