Ask HN: Do you still use email?
In recent years, I have noticed that fewer and fewer people in my circle of friends use e-mail. I also use it less and less personally and have switched to alternatives. Is this just a subjective perception of mine or are there similar tendencies among you?
Have you filed your issues on our issue tracker (neovim/neovim, not neovim/nvim-lspconfig)? If not, please do! I haven't run into these issue myself, but if you can provide a minimal repro happy to take a look.
I think you're very much on point on the number services a customer signs up for.

In that light it makes perfect sense for Amazon to enhance their offering, as they are third or fourth in streaming.

There never seems to be something to watch consistently on Prime at least here in Europe.
Stephen Wolfram, for his remarkable focus on the long term
When shell pumps oil out of the ground who emits it? Shell? The person who burns the oil? If a person in the Netherlands buys a car what fraction of the emissions are they "responsible" for? How about if they use the car to produce some good or service that they sell? Does the responsibility for all or some of the emissions passed on?

I get the point that at some point you just need to pick a party to pay for an externality.
In general companies will not want to start paying in a foreign currency or have adjustment provisions that would put risk on them (and you, actually as they may decide to cut you loose if you suddenly become more expensive).

This is a common problem for people paid in foreign currency. They can win or they can lose... Not many things to do apart from negotiating a salary high enough to make it worthwhile or to play the currency market (i.e. don't immediately exchange what you don't need to if you think exchange rate will improve).

I suppose someone would only consider that arrangement (being paid in a foreign currency as a remote contractor) if that was much better paid than local salary in the first place.
Show HN: All Vision – AutoML for Unsupervised Learning
Hi HN! We are Joe and Chetan, co-founders of All Vision Technologies ( https://all.vision/ ). We are building a suite of tools for unsupervised machine learning. We just launched our Unsupervised Model Zoo, which allows you to simultaneously run and compare 14 clustering and anomaly detection algorithms. You can also optimize their hyperparameters with no code. It's available both as a platform with a UI and an API.

Fun fact: we've reimplemented many of these algorithms from scratch, achieving up to 10x speedups in comparison with open-source implementations like scikit-learn.

This release is our first milestone in a larger journey of building powerful and easy to use unsupervised learning tools, aimed at both individual contributors and enterprise customers.

We have a 14-day free trial for anyone who signs up. To get started, make an account at https://all.vision/ and upload any unlabeled dataset to try out the model zoo!
I was inspired by the transparent 3D displays. It looked like exactly what I'd want.

I can't think which episodes, but there's are a couple scenes where detective Miller is looking at his phone in 2D mode, and he says, "Go 3D." In one scene, he interacts with the 3D projection, reorienting it. In another scene, invoking the 3D display makes it possible for everyone in the room to discuss the projection.

I'd love to know how these effects were done. And, when can I have one of those phones?

I think you learn more about the author than about Stripe from this article.
I didn't look at the github repo, but are the questions there?
Yeah, I think about this a lot as I've been brushing up on my Spanish lately. A lot of people are eager to come up with and apply "rules" to the grammar, but I suspect most of these rules are post-hoc, and the way it _really_ works is largely statistical. Peter Norvig has a great discussion here[0] that asserts as much, compared to Chomsky's idea that language is based on instinctual rules.

I help out on /r/EnglishLearning, and a lot of the time my answers are like, "well, I don't know why but it sounds better this way...", which makes me think of the statistical model.

On the Spanish side, I recently thought about it with regard to the subjunctive mood, and in particular its use with the verbs pensar and creer (to think/believe). The upshot is that you use the indicative mood in the positive case, and subjunctive mood in the negative case (creo que estas bien / no creo que estés bien). People give lots of motivated reasons for why this is, and how in the negative case you're not "sure" of it, while in the positive case you're "sure" that you "think" it, or something like that. But ultimately, I think it's just the simple aforementioned positive/negative rule that native speakers build up over time from being exposed to sentence constructions, maybe without even realizing it, and only post-hoc rationalize why it is.

> VSCode uses LSP "natively“

What do you mean by this? Is it some kind of same address space thing rather than LSP servers over sockets?
The new "Freenode" has little to no credibility and that post comes off as pure propaganda. Look at how the new "Freenode" has behaved and it is very clear...

Official project channels should be able to ban users and move elsewhere. Freenode is welcome make new community channels on those topics. Trying to prevent or hinder official channels from moving is absolutely not acceptable behavior.
sometimes you do work right in a terminal.

I use Sublime for almost everything, but sometimes I edit code I have on some servers where I don't want to manage a whole git repo and do pushes/pulls. I have vim and a .vimrc on those -- I could imagine replacing them with neovim if it had something shiny enough.

I also sometimes end up just popping open a file locally, e.g. a config file or a one-off script, and I don't want another sublime window for it. I think I may even have less bound to open up vim, for syntax-highlighting reasons.

I'm not saying other people need to do what I do, just explaining that some folks like me like good terminal editors, even if we've moved a lot of daily driving into other applications.
To recap, you made a nonsensical hyperbolic statement that is heavily contradicted by real numbers of what computers people buy and use, then say that web pages served from open source software are "running commercial software" while the computers that display and run the web page don't count. Do I have all of this right?
This... would make me so happy. As a climber, I would absolutely love this video.
That's one of the themes in "Schismatrix": part of mankind turn their back on technology (blamed for disasters like the melting of the ice caps) and stay on Earth, remaining stagnant for centuries. The remainder, not allowed to go back to Earth, colonize the solar system and evolve into new species.
It does not at all defy common sense. For example if you gave me a shield that deflected 80% of bullets, it would not defy common sense to feel that shield was not effective at protecting me from someone with a machine gun.

The infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2 is as low as 10 viral particles and a single cough can release 123,000 viral particles.

If I shot 123,000 bullets at you, would you be happy with a shield that protected you from 80% of them?

At any rate, masks have proven to be incredibly effective, but the truth is that we don't know exactly how... common sense has not been particularly informative in understanding the spread of this virus.

Great list, thank you so much! Constellation Games looks fun.
I haven't played Hellblade but FS 2020 can't be even really be called a VR ready game. Even with a 3080 you struggle to reach 90 fps. It's a vomit machine.

Is there really a lack of space for companies to advertise on? Seems like we’re opening up more and more room because the biggest companies take up the best 50% of advertising space. I’d support a cap on how much one company can advertise on one platform (e.g. only so many hours of ads on television so that everyone is able to participate). That way, we don’t see ridiculous attempts like the headline to open up more advertising space.
> Piracy is competition to bad content behavior. It's a meaningful consumer response to monopoly, balkanization and other anti-consumer practices.

That's similar to saying that stealing candy bars is a meaninful consumer response to high prices at convenience stores.
It's a subjective perception of yours. I'm not seeing any changes in my life or the people around me.
Vim does not spy on you and does not lag when pressing buttons. Why use inferior Microsoft products?

Happened to me, as well. Now I have a booking lined up next week and this article reminded me I should be a little nervous.

Arbitrarily removing negative (or positive) reviews by a company should slip into a fraud or misleading category of legality.
The problem I have grokking is the actual practical issue of digital ownership, which is that it is nonsensical.

In this context ownership merely defines who has the right to be the seller in a transaction. As far as I understand this, blockchains don't handle the issue of duplication, where it doesn't matter who has the rights to begin a transaction - anyone can still access the bits.

For something like currency which is entirely defined by its ability to be used in transactions then the application of blockchain to define ownership is obvious. For something like media, where ownership is not just transactions but also access, it isn't obvious to me at all.

In other words, blockchains and smart contracts handle authenticity of a piece of data when used in transactions. That's valuable for data that is defined by its ability to be transactional. It's not necessarily valuable for data that needs to be more than that.

I would also contend that it's not secure by all definitions.
It is 'magic' but a really interesting concept. It's essentially a self-replicating terraforming device. An ancient civilization sends out probes with the molecule - in this case a small planetoid - that will hopefully crash into a planet with biological material and then collect and convert said material into a ring that connects to an interstellar network. The problem is that the one in The Expanse got caught up in Jovian system, like gets done with a lot of interstellar objects.
Before I learned to use vim (neovim), I used VSCode. I tried to use the vi emulator extension in VSCode, but found it difficult to use due to hotkey conflicts, like trying to do something in vim but it's already a VSCode hotkey that does something else. The "hassle" of setting up Neovim really isn't that bad, and I'm very happy that I've been able to set up a customized experience that's contained in a single dotfile.
The content owners are also the distributors now.
Well I don't even know what "de-opping ops" means, so I'll err on the side of believing commenters on Hacker News (and I know that sounds sarcastic but that really is the better source to tip the scales here, IMO). Especially comments in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27287750.
On the other hand, 'you have right' translated literally to polish is 'masz prawo' which is exactly what 'you have right' means. I think 'masz racje' -> 'you have correct' -> 'you are correct' would be a better way to show the difference.

And the longer I think about the word 'racja' the less I'm confident I'm able to explain precisely what it means using english.

I guess that's part of the fun of learning other languages, I will never understand articles in english and I made peace with it. Now I'm also learning spanish and subjuntivos drives me nuts but spanish and polish grammar are surprisingly similar (waaay closer than both are to english)

What's the idea btw? If you just found 1 competitor it may mean you just didn't do very good research :)
I think the machine learning part in that is massively exaggerated, perhaps to avoid personal responsibility. Detecting the patterns in commercially successful movies hardly requires complex pattern recognition algorithms. I would claim that most movies made in the past decades were copying ideas that had turned out to be
successful earlier.
Maybe machine learning can add some tiny extra on top of the recipe, but I think it's still the producers who are to blame for the lack of creativity.

I can see the business appeal of the prospect of being able to skim off the top of second hand sales while maintaining a thread of DRM enforcement along the way, but it's pretty cynical and at the expense of consumers.

Most other uses, like whether some particular series of bits have been blessed by a particular person and to the benefit of whom, seem to already have been solved by the nonrepudiation of digital signatures.

It appears to me that the distributed and public properties of the block chain are not being used for good here.
I would say Half-Life: Alyx is better. Immersion is much better, gameplay is better. I don't see any reason to prefer HL2 over Alyx. User scores at least indicate they are very, very close to eachother. On steam Alyx has a higher score (98%) then HL2 (96%).
Even reality is moving in the "glass cockpit" direction. For example, the SpaceX Crew Dragon doesn't appear to have much of any "steam" controls or displays. Most of the control is preplanned however, so there isn't as much pilot input than a F-15C would use..

Without going deeply into it, I think that characterizing Emacs as a "barebones editor" is deeply flawed.

I switched from Emacs to VSCode because I liked the feel of the more modern UI, but it certainly wasn't because Emacs was less good as an IDE. I can't think of anything I do in VSCode that I didn't have configured in Emacs.
Another variable to add to mix of:

"Well its USB-C cable and a USB-C hole"

"... but no, it does not work"
"Admin" is someone running the server itself. Since they have physical access and/or root access to the actual underlying machine, they can do whatever they want.

"Operators" are people who create channels on an IRC-server / network. Anyone can be an operator. The closest analogue would be a Reddit moderator. You become an operator by simply being the first one to create any channel. By doing so, you gain moderation powers: you can mute individuals, kick them out of the channel, change the topic, and name new "operators" and "half-operators" (a lieutenant: a half-operator can do everything an operator can do except name other operators. Operators can remove each other, so its a bit dangerous to promote people to operator).

There are "Squatting" issues of course: someone may "squat" on a name (ex: I probably can create the #gentoo channel if I am the first one to make the channel, and then squat on the name holding it hostage), but that's what admins are for, to fix those little problems. Normally, the admins would hijack the channel from a squatter, and return it to its rightful owner (ie: making sure the "Operator" is truly a representative of the #gentoo project, and not just some dude who logged in at just the right time).

--------

What's going on is that FreeNode's administrators are seemingly hijacking channels that simply mention the competitor "libra.chat". Which is... not cool.
Smallpox only transmitted through humans.

If you want to attempt to erradicate covid19, you'll also have to vaccinate all the animals, wild and domesticated, which carry the virus.
I'm excited about it because Vim's usual syntax highlighting is rather fragile. As far as I understand it Vim does the highlighting in the same thread, and to ensure good performance it enforces a time limit for the file parsing. In larger files this frequently leads to weirdly flickering highlighting when scrolling.

Going from that to actual syntax parsing is a dream come true.
The most recent update for Counter-Strike is honestly really great. It's a difficult game to touch as the community is in a pretty good spot meta game wise. I'd love for them to shake things up faster and more frequently, but as a spectator it's a super competitive game and I love watching it.

That's a hypothetical. If:

a) We will keep on meeting our emission targets

b) China will keep on missing their emission targets

then it does not make sense to import anything from China.

My guess is that CCP is quite serious about climate change and will attempt to fulfill it's obligations.

They are already slipping by targeting carbon neutrality in 2060 vs. 2050.

But we are not doing enough either.

Not really. If "uncorrupted versions of these cultural artifacts" are illegal, what the internet does is make it easy to track down the people sharing them for punishment.

The internet is far more amenable to automated surveillance at scale than the offline world.

I think your perspective shows one side of a continuum between Personal Freedom <----> Collective Safety. It would seem that at some point maybe in the 50's or maybe the 80's a majority of people decided the debate around this was solved and the US would favor personal freedom over everything else. It's clear that as a society we have decided to re-open this debate.

While the answer probably lies somewhere in the middle the most important part of this issue is the nuance. It's become very common to lash out and villainize people on the other end of the spectrum or just people in a slightly different place on the spectrum. I think we first need to carefully consider the variables and hedge our statements.

For example, a friend of mine in her 50s was recently verbally accosted, by an employee of the store she was at, for not being vaccinated because she was wearing a mask after it wasn't required . But she is in fact vaccinated and wants to continue to wear a mask because she has many health problems.

Just assuming the other side is needlessly putting other people at risk because they are selfish is overly simple and will fail to address the root issues at play. The same is true for the other side of the argument, assuming people hate freedom and want to make all your decisions for you because their evil or think your stupid is also failing to address the real issues.

With some nuance and understanding injected into these conversations we might be less polarized and have options that work for more people.
For many commands you’ll only have to make that calculation once, and will remember it going forward. Only commands that are extremely rarely used you may forget and have to reconstruct with the calculation again later.
No, they are in our database.
I wonder how much GPL actually protects against proprietary forks. Aren’t most of these driver vendors in China where Google would have little recourse if GPL is violated?
I agree with all this, and would stress the particularly painful point with PayPal is testing.
I'm not an artist and I still can't wait to get a closer look at their new geometry renderer tech. The UE5 early access branch is already on github, this is gonna be wild. I also saw they are planning to deprecate raytracing and... use lumen for everything? Wonder what Nvidia says to that. But with the next-gen consoles not using RTX cards I guess this is a reasonable move by epic.
Please make a Stargate show immediately. It will keep me watching Amazon Prime more often. Such a huge fan base just waiting to be willingly milked.
“50% of the population is cheating in PC multiplayer games” is wild. Can you cite a source for this absurd claim?
It's not an excuse. I'm already actively limiting my own pollution by being frugal. I'm observing humanity-level trends and making conclusions. If you're definitely going to lose, being defeatist is also being realistic.
Various plugins can do it on a per language basis, but tree sitter is a nice abstraction that allows such commands to be done with a simple mapping - then tree sitter (with a per-language plugin) will parse to the same ASTish thing, so any language that has function arguments will have the same commands working the same way.

I'm actually kind of excited about tree-sitter - it's not a neovim feature, it's an independent project that can be used a lot of places. I think the effect will be similar to how LSP changed the landscape from "every editor does some parts of handling language X well, but the parts each editor does are different from each other" to "all the editors get this feature when the language server does", just for syntax highlighting and syntax aware edition.
In a way procedural generation can be tought of as extreme compression!
For E-prime-prime we should also skip articles like a/an/the and also to-infinitive before verbs. This, in my opinion, best language.
