There are many cheap HDMI splitters out there (~$20USD) that do not pass on HDCP :)

The hardest part is wading through the comments to see if the device will bypass HDCP. This is also a very good way to watch HDCP content on older HDTV's that don't have HDCP implemented.

There are even more on aliexpress.

That's almost what I ended up doing, except rather than putting the flat piece between two rows of studs, I put it on top of the studs and had adjacent stacks to stabilize it.

Two flat pieces back to back are very very close to the width between the sides of two rows of bricks separated by one row of empty studs.

Absolutely! There are many fascinating examples that you can find online of how places observed desire paths and used them to define the space around them. Many possible applications to software and interaction design :)
Chris Poole visited the Facebook campus in 2011, while he was still running 4chan, for an hour-long talk and some questions. About thirty engineers attended. The Anonymous hacks had been all over the news for the last year or so, so a couple of jokers showed up in Guy Fawkes masks, and kept them on for the whole thing.

During the Q&A, Poole answered a question from one of the masked employees. After his answer, he asked, "Did that help, Steve?" Shocked, and no doubt a bit intimidated, the employee asked how Poole knew his name. His answer: "Well, I read your name on the badge clipped to your belt."

Poole was smart and thoughtful and I was quite impressed (not just with his eye for detail). Not surprised he lasted so long at Google.

> Suicidal ideation is up,

How could we possibly know this? Reports of suicidal ideation is up, would be a more honest claim.

Increased reporting of/willingness to report ideation and reduced rate of suicide might both be explained by people accessing mental health support.
Couple different manifestations/symptoms in this case:

* Some social "tuning out" behavior that causes others to think there's just not as much interest

* In the context of "make it work, make it right, make it optimal", a willingness to stop at just "make it work", which is perceived as lack of follow through

* Inability to self assign/self direct tasks -- needs to be directed what to do (I've come to call this "sled dog syndrome" -- wants to run, wants harness/reins to pull against)

* Easily distracted into non-productive activity (e.g. netsurfing) when challenged with tasks that are beyond their ability

* Great at responding quickly to concrete "do this, do that" tasks
Even infinite money can't set up new fabs overnight - factories are tough. Unless you're a government paying for the strategic advantage of domestic manufacturing, you have to decide whether the plant will still be profitable when the shortage ends - and whether it's currently profitable enough to merit building.

It's not unlike the situation with PPE manufacturing circa March 2020.

The convenience argument is such bullshit.

We have been seduced into selling our rights down the river because we will sacrifice anything to this most pathetic of gods, Convenience.

I have been fighting in this war (anti-DRM/copyleft/etc) for decades, and peoples' susceptibility to convenience has always effectively thwarted any kind of counter argument.

We are fucking lazy and we should be ashamed of it.

Yes I am bitter, we could have had a world of power, control, and ownership at our fingers... a cornucopia of content on our terms... computers that well and truly serve us and not some wanterpreneurial, rent-seeking master... but it wouldn't have been as convenient.

And now zoomers, seduced by corporate sponsorships and the cozy fiefdoms of communities like YouTube or TikTok, have almost no concept of files or their utility, of the value of owning something detached from a profiteering cloud. They have no problem enriching those who seek to exploit them.

It is all complete, utter horseshit. We fought for a better world that nobody wanted because it wasn't as convenient
Oh man, I am pumped about the viewport improvements. Whenever I'm working on a scene, tweaking lighting or shaders is really arduous because after every tiny adjustment I have to sit and wait at least a few seconds to really see what effect it had. These previews look amazing.
Problem is everything needs to be automotive grade components, and if the supply is already low such a type or in contention, they are going to cost a heck of a lot more than the absurdity which is the 100% additional cost for a automotive grade resistor or IC versus a consumer level component.
A basketball player waiting for the draft literally died yesterday because he fooled his car into thinking he had the seat belt on.
The article makes a good point on positioning, but I'm not sure if it's due to lack of data points.

Sure Apple seems to be using the M1 in across every price segment for their products, but M1 is also literally the first iteration of their shift to running macOS on ARM and not x86 architecture. This mass push mainly serves to speed up the transition.

No doubt there'll be a higher performing SOC for Apple's Pro lineup such as Mac Pro, Macbook Pro. History has confirmed this since Apple developed the A*X chips specifically for the Pro lineup of iPads. Main question is, how many concurrent SOCs will Apple maintain? Just 2 as they've done for the iPhone & iPad Pro divide or potentially more?
Headless doesn't mean no stylesheets. It means no gui at all. This project is not headless at all. It is not possible to make this thing headless. It's head is sticking right there.

It's trying to create a new definition of what the word means.

Just say "no stylesheets included". That's 100x more clear what's going on.

you'd think this would be common knowledge given 4chan is literally an open website, but I always hear these mythologised recountings of it like it's some kind of mysterious inaccessible cult. It's just reddit for people who hate reddit.
I kind of see what you're saying, but it seems odd to use Weil for this kind of project since she was well known to be on the Left of the political spectrum (and also quoting Arundhati Roy). I don't see this article going in the Jordan Peterson direction, though, but more in the direction of Wendell Berry.
I liked it and felt it fit the vibe of scrappy founders making it work. I still like it.

re trust-worthiness in design. Design is always communicating something. Sometimes it's "I'm a bank you should give me your money" and other times it's "This person/company isn't very good at building website".

re trusting me in particular. I've been running the community behind this challenge, Indie Worldwide, for a couple years now and haven't f'd up too bad yet.
When the pandemic started, most companies thought demand will go down for things like cars, etc so didn't place orders for semiconductors needed for things like cars. Instead demand went up for devices used at home like laptops, webcams, etc. When companies order component, they don't buy on demand, but they order far ahead. So you might say something like, I want to buy 10million units of X in 6 months, or next year. The manufacturers operate at peak capacity already so they can't crank up output on demand. You give them enough time to be able to meet your needs. The companies that ordered say 1/3rd or 1/2 of what they needed realized they need more since the pandemic didn't slow sales down much. They went to order some more components and the manufacture says, "sorry! lead time is now 12 months" because they already got contracts with other folks. This of course is not a one supplier to one product problem, but possible across a chain of supplier/producer relationship. The organizations that saw there might be a supply problem earlier on, aggressively stocked up and bought up more than they needed which placed additional strain across the supply problem. The supply problem ends up cascading across industry. This is know as the bullwhip effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect. No one wants to invest in new plant because by the time it's done, the issue might be resolved and even if it's not, the plant might not return the ROI. That's how we ended up where we are.
> It calls into question why they took legal action against the FT[1] instead of investigating the claims more thoroughly.

I could totally believe and expect this. Once was working at Berlin startup with German executive director. On some unfavourable reviews appearing on Glassdoor he started profiling employees and throwing Aufhebungsvertrags at them (if you read this come at me mate). He didn't attempt to address or even admit the problems. I paid for it with long months of mental burnout.

This response bears no relation to the topic at hand. As said earlier, the damages and the legal fees are two separate things that shout be kept separate.

> you destroyed something that had the potential of becoming a tree. Not really sure why you want to separate these out into two distinct entities

They are two distinct entities: the acorn in front of you actually exists as a collection of cells. The tree does not. The tree is an abstraction... a myth in your mind. It does not have any true physical properties.

Every egg is not a chicken. Every sperm is not a person. It has the potential, yes, but in the present moment an egg is simply an egg.

More likely, the Americans lengthen the e in the first syllable into almost a diphthong, like /eɪ/, and shorten the "o" in the second syllable into a schwa kind of sound that can comfortably be followed by /z/. Meanwhile, in British and many European accents, the first syllable is short and strongly stressed /ɛ/, and the o is /oʊ/, and you can't add an s without contorting your mouth in some horrible way. Which is why British people are so disgusted by "Legos". Try saying it with an American accent.

I don't think we're talking at the same level. Implementing content types at the file attribute level simply allows more flexibility in terms of handling file types.

I might write a proper blog post about this if I get some time to get my thoughts together. I worked for a year or so on this and with the xdg spec, it's all implemented in pretty frustrating ways.

Volkswagen launches its first all-electric SUV, the ID.4
Same. I implemented it, IIRC, on my Amiga 2000 and compared it to the Manx C library builtin. Which wiped the floor with my BM implementation. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was so much faster that I didn't even bother trying to optimize mine, I just threw up my hands.

It may have been on an HP9000s2xx machine instead of Amiga.

Taught me that hand optimized assembly can beat clever algorithms.
> Voting isn't even that important. The wrong guy gets picked, what happens? Same bullshit as if the right guy got picked.

If voting is unimportant, why do you care about racist requirements for physical ID cards? Perhaps there might be some sort of connexion between the two!

If their code is a mess and has errors, and there are people at post office that know this, they should be fined on the spot for false representation of contemp of the court.

If their system were up to date, written in a safe language, has unit tests and an independant review said it was solid, then it is just one acceptable piece of evidence.

What i dont get is - where was the money? Supposedly hundreds of people stoke huge amount of money, and none of them had it in a bank, bought a new car, or showed any signs of suddenly becoming wealthier. Where did the judge think the money go to, they ate it? How was this not suspicious?

Thats only true if you assume 100% of coins are actually accessible. The true market cap of bitcoin is always going to be less than the number of coins that have been mined would imply, due to losses.
> After a two-hour warmup period, MOXIE began producing oxygen at a rate of 6 grams per hour. The rate was reduced two times during the run (labeled as “current sweeps”) in order to assess the status of the instrument. After an hour of operation the total oxygen produced was about 5.4 grams, enough to keep an astronaut healthy for about 10 minutes of normal activity.
Earth is doomed with or without humans. Everywhere is doomed to some cataclysmic events. Mars avoids some of these events that would affect Earth and doesn't avoid others. Ultimately we have to get out of the solar system. Think of an investment in Mars as an investment in humans.

> You're trying to find a hole in my logic, but you're ignoring what I'm saying

I think you're ignoring what everyone else is saying and that is that Googling is not about Googling, it's just a tool for researching. It's not all about Googling some random blog post about how to manage cache invalidation, it's shorthand of knowing how to use search engines to get you to the right page, documentation, scholarly article or yes, random blog, about cache invalidation.
When I was working on a ray tracer, I found that interpolating the color from neighboring points instead of leaving it blank for in-progress elements was a huge improvement for quickly seeing what the scene is going to look like. In the video examples it doesn't seem like they're doing it. I'm interested to know the rationale.

Which is why the parent comment acknowledged that "Obviously things don't come for free, somebody has to pay for it".

Surely Apple must have told us in some way about the compatibility of the new M1 iPad Pro and now for those who want to 'upgrade', if you have a previous generation iPad Pro, it now requires shelling out an extra $350 on another Magic Keyboard.

Another footgun hidden by Apple to get you to pay more for basic functionality because of the M1. Sometimes, listening to the M1 hype squad just makes you lose more money. Especially if you bought a 2020 iPad Pro and they want you to upgrade again for a keyboard.

For example: This guy is doing the same thing and will find out that he also has to buy a $350 keyboard for that M1 iPad Pro. [0] Already trading it in at a loss.

Imagine comparing the comments section last year and now this year after finding this out.

> Yes, if they could have proved they also received what was stolen, that would have been a slam dunk but there are enough plausible reasons why they can't find the money. Maybe it was given to friends and family as cash, maybe it was used to gamble or to pay off some criminal.

If this was one or two cases, then sure, maybe they were really smart about hiding the money. However, there were hundreds of convictions. What is the more likely explanation?
Maya was an amazing piece of software once. It is falling behind only because Autodesk seems to be content to just let it slowly rot.

The funny thing is that there are litanies of complaints about many core Autodesk products that echo the same chorus: the software is poorly maintained, bugfixes are promised "for the next released" (paid upgrade, of course) and yet, they never appear. Customer feature requests are completely ignored and each release feels like it's just a version number bump with a few token changes here and there so that sales can act as if they created a meaningful new release.
There is only one other popular task that a decade-old CPU can’t handle acceptably well: running a web browser. Outside of that, computers have been good enough ever since HiDPI/Retina screens became standard.
If you’re already doing the thing you would do if you could do anything, do you still feel the need for “enough money” to walk out and go do it. I think, and some other posters seem to agree, that the answer is a qualified no.
There’s barely any legal support at all these days. That’s what all that “tough on crime” and “stop waste” nonsense in newspapers gets you: large chunks of the criminal justice system barely work anymore.

Yeah, I have two thinkpads -- one from 2010 and one from 2012. Both of them have enough grunt to get through most any task, the heaviest of which is compiling large codebases. One of them was my daily driver for eight years; I only upgraded to a Ryzen because I wanted MOAR COARS and more RAM.

It's funny how today's computers could theoretically handle a user's workload for decades yet Apple builds them to fall apart after four years. There was a Hackernews story recently about a guy faffing around with old 68k Macs from the late 80s, he said that those old Macs were rated by Apple to last for fifteen years. And yet they come from an era of much more rapid utility decay for computer hardware, when a computer would be utterly obsolete after just a few years.
