Had a friend who got one of these as a joke and he ended up loving it, which in turn sent me down the 40% keyboard rabbit hole.

However, rather than a pure ortholinear board like planck, I _highly_ recommend a columnar stagger board like the Reviung41[0] or the Corne[1]. Columnar stagger retains the benefits of ortho, but also accounts for the natural difference in finger lengths and I find it by far the most comfortable layout type. Full splits like the Corne are really good for ergonomics, but the Reviung41 is my favorite board because it has some of the advantages of a split, while retaining the advantages of a single piece board like the Planck.

I did initially buy a ZSA Moonlander, but I highly regret the purchase. The thumb cluster is incredibly poorly designed for anyone who doesn't have freakishly giant hands, and becomes even more unusable if you prefer a steeper tenting angle, since that moves it even further away from the rest of your hand. And putting the tenting at a shallower angle to make the cluster usable, kinda defeats the whole purpose of tenting the board in the first place. If you want a split like the Moonlander, I think you're better off looking at something like the Lily58[2] or the Corne, or any of the myriad number of split keyboards with sane thumb clusters.

After using a 40% board for a while, I no longer understand why people insist on bigger boards other than habit or fear of change. The smaller layout means that despite having to rely on layers to reach some keys like symbols or numbers, they're also far closer to your homerow than on a traditional board.

Switching to a 40% and a trackball was one of the best decisions I've made comfort-wise, and even resolved some hand pain issues I was having because my desk is tiny.

Bummer you couldn't dig that up, sounds interesting.
On mobile so I can’t look now, but from what I recall the people who have looked into it (and quite a few have) find that the causal relationship goes in the other direction, at least in the US —- young people have abandoned religion because of religions treatment of homosexuals, women (including access to abortion), and, for white evangelicals, their treatment of racial minorities. Religious organizations in the US have persecuted their culture war at great expense. IIRC they’re currently replacing those lost young people with people who are attracted to their movement specifically because of these various bigotries, so I think they’re holding about even, but given demographic shifts I don’t know how long that will be sustainable.

I used to use Meet for most calls. I found there were more technical and quality issues than Zoom or, for quick internal calls, Slack.

On almost every two person Meet call one of us would have some kind of technical issue. Not working with the correct mic, video not working until the browser was restarted, etc.

1) There are many java compilers with diverse origins. Try more than one.

2) The binary (or jar) can't lie about what it contains. Take it into an air gap and reverse engineer it, what's there is there. This includes compilers.

3) see posters comment about the impracticality of stopping someone with the money, talent, skills, and patience of the NSA :)
They have been "growing" and "becoming" the next world leader for a while now.

Anyone who have lived in india long enough will tell you how far from the truth this is.

The only Stick India has, besides their nuclear arsenal, is the size of their domestic market (aka population). I dont think the purchasing power of their domestic market is that lucrative compare to actual superpowers (Economic or Military). Buy just large enough for International companies to bother to invest.

The whole political platform for Modi is religious fanaticism, nationalosm and jingoism. Any sane, rational Indian leader would not be so Anti international investment. (I am not only talking about the incident mentioned in this article, but generally speaking).

If you can look past the billionaires and the prosperous cities of India (however few), it eirily feels like the whole country is for most part still stuck in the 80s.

Most people tout india as the largest democracy with diverse relious population. The reality on the ground could not have been farther from truth.

In reality the country feels like its always in the state of experiment by their political leaders, competing with each other to find the best way to fuck things up without actually blowing up the country. Yet.
Anyone responding with just a link to politifact or factcheck that titles their articles as "this didn't happen" — and then talks about how it happens in the body — is engaging in propaganda as well.
It's got to start somewhere. Especially considering they're using what seems to be a somewhat novel packaging for their batteries, best to ease into it.
I'm willing to bet that one of the largest contributing factors to a child's resentment is the gap in expectations between generations (My parents would say to apply for a job in-store, but then I would be told to apply online). I'd tell them that asking in-store doesn't work but my parents just didn't seem to understand that things operate differently now.
You’re right I forgot communication didn’t exist before Twitter and iPhones. How silly of me.

God said let their be Steve Jobs and suddenly human communication…

Privately owned infrastructure was never for you. It’s for the elites to corral you all along.

Believing Twitter was ever on your side was your first mistake. They were Walmart; moved in with low prices now they’re raising them.

It’s an emotional con to keep you focused on a political narrative (American dream of free enterprise; for some, toil for depreciated wages for the majority) and not exploring alternative communication pipelines.

How free is our speech if it’s constrained to Wall Street, tech companies, SV, and DC? You walked right into constrained speech in order to fit in.

It's not a non issue either. Several countries already use different systems that do not depend on US credit card companies anymore. Not because it is banned, but because it obviously is a suboptimal solution.
This is unlikely to come to pass because batteries weigh something like 80× as much as the corresponding jet fuel: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=kragen

This means much less efficient flight, because lift costs energy, or much slower flight. But it's more plausible for these very short flights than for longer flights.

Solar-powered synfuel seems like a more likely mass alternative for the near future (02030-02050).

We hit peak coal in 2013. We peaked in the discovery of oil in the 1960s, and probably hit oil production a few years ago, and nobody noticed.

Capitalism has its awful downsides, but it sure does provide incentives to work around supply constraints.
I think the article is talking about estrangement proper, where children and parents do not talk to each other at all, not that they engage but sometimes don't understand one another. The former is more serious, the latter is expected.
Observing that something is either a or not a is not an observation in the empirical sense. Empirical observations suffer from the problem of induction, but neither of us believes that that statement might be disproven someday, in the way that observing a black swan would disprove the statement that all swans are white.

Similarly the conservation law of apples is not derived from nature, but from our definition of what an apple is. If you took a heap of sand and added another you would have one heap of sand.
Man, Facebook. Can't even keep your executives emails complaining about the transparency you do have from getting leaked to a reporter.

The problem that Facebook has is clearly that a reasonably large % of the employees have no trust that Zuck will listen to them. When you talk to reporters about why people leak, the most common reason is that they feel powerless to affect their institution through normal channels. Zuckerberg's control of the company is so total that clearly a reasonably large % of the company- including at least one person on this email chain of senior executives- feels that way.
> Both the Eurosystem TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) and alternatives such as blockchain were proven capable of processing more than 40,000 transactions per second. The experiments also suggested that architectures combining centralised and decentralised elements are possible.

Sounds like they are evaluating to make Bank accounts obsolete?

Sidenotes:

> Experiments were conducted in the four following areas: the digital euro ledger; privacy and anti-money laundering; limits on digital euro in circulation; end-user access while not connected to the internet and facilitating inclusiveness with appropriate devices. No major technical obstacles were identified to any of the assessed design options.

I am interested to hear about a system providing privacy and anti-money-laundering capabilities at the same time. Aren't they mutually exclusive?

> According to these experiments, a digital euro core infrastructure would be environmentally friendly: for the architectures that were tested, the power used to run tens of thousands of transactions per second is negligible compared with the energy consumption of crypto-assets such as bitcoin.

Bitcoins power usage per transaction is outrageous, if they choose this as their benchmark, it sounds like their transactions are quite power hungry compared to the status quo?
Is the trend of "Uber for something something" still a thing?
Take a look at Robins v. Pruneyard Shopping Center for an interesting case that set precedent in California. The CA courts have determined that certain areas of shopping malls are designed and used for public congregation – the modern equivalent of the town square – and should thus be treated as public for a for purposes of First Amendment analysis, which means that a much higher standard applies to speech restrictions in these areas.

This standard could be applied to privately-owned online "town squares" in future decisions.
What makes it fair and reasonable and does whatever rationale you use here not open up the door to further nativism?

I mean if it is fair and reasonable that Indian transactions should be stored and processed in India, is it not also fair and reasonable that goods sold in India should be made in India, that movies that show in India should be made in India, that all news consumed in India should be written in India?

I get these are not the same, but what is the real difference here? Where does it become unreasonable in my examples and why?
There's something to be said for the drive of someone who has had to strive to get where they are versus those who take it for granted.

Bear Stearns had a hiring mantra of not liking MBAs and instead hiring PSDs: "Poor, smart and had a deep desire to be rich" :-)
Question to people from U.S. or familiar with U.S. law:

Isn't the government pressuring a private company to remove/censor a content violation of "Freedom of speech"? As a private company, Twitter can do whatever they want, but if Twitter is forced to remove and censor, wouldn't that be a violation?
Twitter isn't FBI raid-proof and that's a SPoF. The US govt has the technical power and legal force to shut it off when it has or invents the authority to do so. This existential threat means Twitter, in the absence of moral/ethic leadership courage, is compelled to bow down to individual legal demands.

If end users want freedom with a centralized service, it has to be based in a neutral country and also accessible by VPN, p2p overlay network, etc. It would also be better if such a service were also distributed.
That seems to be about stopping spamming over SMS. AFAIK censoring SMS between unknown individuals isn't even technically possible.
What you're saying is true of public e-mail infrastructure, but that's besides the point. As a queuing solution internally in a system you can make it as resilient as you like with ease because there's a huge ecosystem of resilient software you can use for it.

Same goes for security - your objection is true for public e-mail delivery without additional requirements on the servers or clients, but that is not relevant for a private infrastructure.
> Going for walks every 30mins will leave you with very little accomplished at the end of the day.

I care more about my health and long term well being than my company and the code I write. Walking 5 min every 30min won't kill your productivity, it might have the opposite effect actually.

I started exercising when I saw that most of my older peers in the field were fat/obese, had poor posture and no stamina whatsoever, these people are literally rotting day by day sitting in front of a computer

It seems so insane to me that some people internalised the idea that companies and productivity are the #1 priority in life, I can't even begin to wrap my head around that. As if selling your time wasn't enough, now you have to sell your body. Unless you live in some weird hellhole of a country without mandatory rest breaks laws I don't see why you would put yourself through sitting more than a few hours at once

Philip Larkin. You ought to give credit when you quote something like this.
There are all kinds of places storing things that aren't explicitly stored. For example, a VM snapshot of a system that was processing a request including a password and had it in the memory at the time, any service (including something that does just network proxying) with a debug mode that logs full request data, etc.
It's not hard to get, it's just that it's rather silly - should North Korea have the right to kidnap someone allegedly targeting NK citizens?

The only reason it works is because the US is the bully. Same reason american war criminals and terrorists usually don't get prosecuted.
And think about how much more work it was. And how much more work it'll take to maintain and update.

It's an interesting choice to do native.

That said, very impressive work.
Depends on what you're teaching. In engineering circles it's been said that those who can, do; those who can't, become Six Sigma consultants.
Great to hear. I think a lot of big internet companies are moving in this direction, although I don't know if it affects user trust all that much since it isn't publicized. I guess the one thing is that incidents like the one reported here will be avoided in the future, so in ten or twenty years there will have been less reputational damage than in an alternative universe where these controls don't exist.
Over the past four years, this website aggressively supported the creation of the nearly autonomous banning policies and degradation toolkits social media platforms used.

Why? Because you had to STOP LE EBIL TRUMP!!!!11!!!!

Did you think those tools would magically disappear with a new US president? Did you think the other nearly 200 nations in the world wouldn't request their usage once the hyper-connected "self-appointed permanently rational" faction of American consumers signed off of them?

You celebrated and cheered every single time "another evil Nazi" was deplatformed.

Your heroes are next and there won't be a fucking thing you can do about it.

You are free to say whatever you want, but you are not free from the consequences, etc.
Why is it ok on HN to write "That's funny lol" but not ok to write "That's funny :emoji-for-laugh:". Sure I get that no offense is intended but if twice as many women prefer the second form over the first then HN is unintentionally preferring male communication over female communication.

It's not like it would be hard for HN to enable support. In fact they're intentionally disallowing it. I'm sure they have their reasons. I'm just pointing out that the results happen to affect women more than men
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but that's a sad way to view the world.
>Estranged parents often tell me that their adult child is rewriting the history of their childhood, accusing them of things they didn’t do, and/or failing to acknowledge the ways in which the parent demonstrated their love and commitment. Adult children frequently say the parent is gaslighting them by not acknowledging the harm they caused or are still causing, failing to respect their boundaries, and/or being unwilling to accept the adult child’s requirements for a healthy relationship

I'm still reading the article, but this bit stuck out like a sore thumb. The definition of the term "gaslighting" seems to have drifted in the last ten years. Previously, it meant something like "intentionally sewing doubt about a true fact in order to force a victim to question their own judgement." Currently, it seems to mean "Someone has failed to fully empathize with me and agree with my take on the situation." This second definition seems very childish, and it's unintentionally quite funny that the article specified that "adult children" felt gaslighted.
A little more digging finds that it was written in 1971, so echoing in a sense other comments on here that this isn't such a new observation
And yet entrusting it to the platforms themselves seems equally bad given the Trump v Platforms saga.

Either let the government make the rules on what speech is okay in their countries or let the platforms decide what's okay. You can't have both.

This work is based on one person's Master's thesis in Sustainability. I lack the tools to determine if her work actually does vindicate the original study or not. It's frightening if so, but I'd also like to hear other experts weigh in before I start prepping for the end times.
Audacity was, is, and will always be GPL. The CLA does not change this.
The CLA simply provides a dual license option for distribution through channels that may not be GPL friendly (ex: app stores).

Look at the VLC/Apple issue. This is an insurance policy against something similar in future.

CLA is not to be able to create a paid version of Audacity, that is fundamentally against our core beliefs. Creators should have free access to software; the money is in content.

In addition, the CLA allows for the ability to share code between the MuseScore and Audacity projects, greatly accelerating development. MuseScore has had a CLA in place from the beginning so it is only possible to share code between projects if similar CLA is in place.

The next version of MuseScore will introduce a completely redesigned/rebuilt UX, VST3 support, realtime effects, a redesigned mixer, expanded MIDI support, and a proper sequencer is soon to follow.

All of these features have been popular requests of Audacity users and will greatly (and quickly) extend the capabilities of Audacity.

Not applying a CLA actually limits the potential of the project (availability on popular devices and using code from MuseScore) more than applying the CLA.
> Amazon aims to have a 3,236-satellite constellation in orbit by 2029

Assuming Starlink is similar, are there any risks of "imprisonment" on Earth having ~8k low-orbit satellites flying around? In that they gravely affect efforts to fly Humans to the Moon/Mars?
"Adult parents" are boomers.

Boomers divorced at civilizationally unprecedented rates and are famous for being the "me" generation and "not trusting anyone over 30".

It is unsurprising that they do not have great relationships with their children and grand-children, when compared with the past.
What an amazingly polished app! It's refreshing to see a new app feel perfectly at home on macOS. $10 to support these folks is worth it.
While Facebook has a massive pile of data, what about the other massive collectors of data out there?

Is there a list of other YCombinator aviation startups?
That sounds like a ridiculous assumption. Airplanes are basically guaranteed to not discharge the batteries lower than 20% for safety reasons. I’m guessing they’ll also not charge to fully 100%, like some BEVs. On fixed routes they could charge only what they need to get to where they’re supposed to go plus the required buffer for emergencies. The batteries will probably also be cooled. So it could be an ideal scenario for battery degradation. There are 10yo Nissan Leafs on the road right now that was pretty much the worst case for battery degradation.

You can also imagine that planes will start operating longer routes and then move to shorter routes as the battery degrades. Since the batteries are large they could get a decent amount of money for them when they’re too degraded for airplanes. They should still be useful for energy storage.

I also think it’s likely that when airplanes go mainstream, they’ll use a different chemistry than the standard Li-ion chemistries we have today. Maybe solid state lithium (Quantumscape?) or sodium ion. So it’s very hard to say how big the degradation problem will actually be.
I think if anything, the "shift" is more like an unveiling.

There are and have always been extremely problematic issues in many families, it's just that in the past you would be denigrated for severing ties with your family for those reasons due to a sense of duty.

So we now finally see the elephant in the room. We cannot go back to unseeing it, but we have to deal with it gracefully. To me this is just the continuing process of development of human empathy.
To be fair though businesses havd always used these 'buffer' tactics. Where now it's software, the all-knowing never-wrong magical boxes that cannot be reasoned with, before it was District Managers who were never available, secretaries as literal gatekeepers, 'company policy' which is nothing but some garbage some department decided on, but they make sound like a law. On and on, round and round. :(
OP said "Sure, but the story isn't going to be like a movie, for most of us." I'm just pointing out that life is, in fact, experientially like a movie just maybe not the feel good story of the year we'd like it to be
I consider hackathons and game jams where I didn't get to socialize to be failed ones. Some of the best ones where when I put together the whole project in last few hours.

Also, for some people working for a couple of days under time crunch is the best way to spark their creative output (which may or may not be a sign of possible ADHD, by the way ;])
Lots of parent hating in this thread.

Really says more about your own EQ than it does about them.

Just more Marxist bullshit, turn you against your cultural parents via tropes like "Ok boomer", "they are narcissistic", "life is harder now!", and "oh they're rich, we won't be".

This thread will be ripe with religion bashing and ageism. Most of the talking points have already been spouted.

No no no, I'm sure they must be the problem ;)
