For clarification, you can still reorder the icons you have pinned to the taskbar by dragging in Windows 11. And you can pin additional items from the Start Menu to the taskbar by right-clicking the app in the Start Menu, selecting More, and then Pin to taskbar. You can add items to the Start Menu by creating a shortcut within the "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" directory. Items added to the start menu like this can then be pinned to the taskbar using the method already mentioned.

Source: I just did all of this in the current Windows 11 Insider release as part of testing an upcoming PortableApps.com Platform release.

So, you can still pin just about anything to the taskbar, it's just a more convoluted way of doing it than dragging. And, I'd wager, we'll have third party utilities that will automate the above for folks who like to pin random items regularly. Heck, I may do it myself and stick it on github if people would like.
It's OK, orbits are confusing. We all know in our hearts the earth is flat.

Just great.
Hearthstone's aesthetic reminds me of the parallel world of stuff that religious groups always make (Christian music, Christian books, etc), and I found it really offputting.
It's not about smoothness, it's about how to JIT the gradient function. ML libs don't generally do interpolation, partly because it's tricky to vectorize (you have to search for which segment to use for each element) and partly because most ML practioners don't need it. What I've done in my code is use all the vertices for all the elements, but with weights that are mostly zero. It's pretty fast on GPU because I don't use that many vertices.
Yep, all vector drawing applications [that are any use] have boolean operations (add, subtract, intersect, difference plus normally a few variations on these). The one the writer is talking about in Illustrator is the shape builder tool, which is very neat, abstracts away the above, lets you build up complex shapes from primitives a bit more quickly and naturally (it can both add and subtract), that specifically I'm not sure about, it's been a long time since I used Inksacape & I don't know what the feature set is currently like (or how easy plugins are to write, as if they're easy enough I'd expect something similar to that to have been written, it's a really nice feature of Illustrator).

But you can definitely do all he talks about just with boolean operations.
It would cost me about £11/month to run. For context, I currently pay ~£80/month for electricity (UK average is ~£60[1]). Not prohibitive, but it's a pretty sizeable increase. When you consider I can get 4G connectivity[2] for £22/month, with significantly less power consumption,, it doesn't seem that attractive unless you have no other options.

The payout times and fees you advertise for competitors charging are overly inflated by like double at least.

Once you move away from Shopify or woocommerce there are plenty of companies offering these services with similar enough interfaces. Sellfy, selly, rocketr to name a few that have been around ~3+ years.

Most of these have clones that offer free services in all major payment options and cryptocurrencies.

I think you will need to differentiate your company more to have any traction. Creator sponsoring of some nature seems like the best suggestion I read here. Good luck

The GGGP is talking about failures at a higher level. Not reprimanding the coder who missed an ampersand, but the manager who was ultimately responsibly for ensuring there was a functioning process for catching this sort of nonsense.
For a DOS emulator? Does Prompt stream graphics?

Even just for coding, that sounds awful to me. iOS users bought a mobile device, and particularly if they're on an iPad Pro, a mobile device with a really good processor. For me, part of that would be being able to treat it like a mobile device, that it should keep working if I drive through a tunnel, that I should be able to use it on the go.

Hard for me to wrap my head around people being satisfied with "ignore that you have a well-built device with interesting sensors in front of you, and instead just use it as a thin client to another functioning computer."

There are cheaper thin clients out there than an iOS device if someone is OK ignoring their native hardware, doing all of their programming through a terminal, and having functionality break if their device goes offline.

"I've heard this story countless times... something (usually around age 20) just snaps, and suddenly THC == paranoia."

It's common for people to smoke more and more cannabis as their tolerance grows, and higher doses of cannabis can easily lead to paranoia and other adverse mental effects.

If these people took a long break and then tried the smallest amount of the weakest pot they could get, they might find that they can enjoy it again without getting paranoid.
one thing, the OP is missing. with consumer oriented stuff, don't make the naive mistake of launching thinking you'll make money. do it as a vanity project. yeah, every now and then shout it out but don't expect it to make money. unless you're vc funded and you're trying to corner a market. b2b is different of course - there exists people willing to pay
> To add to this as a former employee of a different quantum company that provides cloud services, there was absolutely no funny business about faking results. If you asked for quantum computer results, you got them, and it’s painfully obvious too.

You can say "Platform fees (waived during beta)" or something like that to make it clear.
It is possible to sideload apps on iOS, it just requires jumping through hoops that you don’t have on Android. Apple allows sideloading of apps signed by the same Apple account that you’re signed into on your iDevice.

Since this is really intended to make developing iOS apps more accessible, it requires resigning or rebuilding apps. Since iDOS is open source, that should be no problem here - you can compile and install your own copy, likely just by loading the upstream project in Xcode and deploying it your iDevice like app developers do. A usability problem is that apps installed this way are only runnable for a week [0], at which point the signature must be refreshed or iOS will refuse to open the app.

AltStore [1] is a project that streamlines this ordeal as much as possible. It’s an alternate app store that allows you to install a bunch of open source apps not allowed in the app store (e.g. apps using permissions that would be rejected, or game console emulators). It also comes with a server component that uses Apple’s frameworks on Mac/Windows to refresh those apps’ validity on iDevices on the same network. If you regularly connect your iDevice to a network with an AltServer of your own, the apps should continue to work.

It’s certainly not pretty, and very far removed from fare more open Android devices, but workarounds to run your own software on iDevices do exist. There’s an entire subreddit, r/sideloaded, dedicated to this apparently mostly for piracy purposes.

A slowdown in aging is a ‘healthy person’ being given more time.
Because, like alcoholism, it's a choice. If you force people to lose weight, why not force them to stop poisoning themselves.

Of course, it's all a bunch of hypocritical bs when other, safer, more useful drugs are banned or restricted for stupid reasons.
When it was new, the "Spanish Flu" (influenza A subtype H1N1) killed as many people as covid killed in 2020, in a far younger, healthier population. Now people have immunity, so even though H1N1 is still around, it's not as deadly as it was in 1918.

So while it's true that covid was more deadly than influenza in 2020, that's not because covid is inherently more deadly, but simply because people weren't immune to it yet.

Now that we have a vaccine, and a significant number of people who've had the disease, covid death rates are much, much lower. Currently about 250 per day in the US, an annual rate of less than 100k per year, not much worse than the flu.

This is awesome! When they announced CASP results a few months ago, I was wondering if AlphaFold will be accessible as an API, where you can submit a protein id or a sequence and get back a 3D structure. This database is basically that, except it's free & open to the public. Major props!
Yeah, calling the iPad a PC is very short sighted by Apple.

Where is the next generation of developers going to come from, if they grow up on iPads?

But I feel the same towards Apples stance on server hardware, which they discontinued over a decade ago: Even if servers don't make a sizeable profit on their own, they help ensure that developers can build large scale stuff inside the apple ecosystem.

Yet, that hasn't really been the hindrance I feel it ought to have been.

I think it is difficult to overestimate how much other rural internet providers have over-promised for their federal $$. I know that in my area (northwestern Montana), a variety of ISP's have received rural internet funds, and it seems like a fair bit of money has been spent on very little additional high-speed coverage. There are many towns from 350 - 2000 population that are under-served, even with a lot of federal subsidy (I'm told the local telco removed internet capacity from our town of 400 to provide it to a nearby school system. I know that if I pay $5K to get a telephone wire to my house, I can have dial-tone, but not internet, not because of distance, but because of capacity limits.) Perhaps when those ISP's applied for their grants, they simply underestimated the costs.

Regardless, we do have Starlink, and it is transformative.
This reminds me of being a teen and getting my mind blown when a friend of mine said, "You can't prove that you didn't just start existing right now. Who's to say that all of the memories of your entire life were all implanted in your head to make you think the universe didn't start right now."
No, the manufacturers of all the current "vaccines" are clear that none of them prevents transmission of the disease, nor creates immunity - the only claim they make is that they should lessen the symptoms of an infection.

Go read what they've actually written and claimed in their filings, rather than the propaganda of their corporate or government PR flacks.
The thing is, the hardware doesn’t do anything useful. So you can in theory fake bad results… but that doesn’t seem so dangerous. If it’s bad, there are few people to defraud, except maybe investors that are bad at due diligence.

You can also try to fake good results (or even have truly good results!), and trust me, the scientific community will require unambiguous proof. DWave went through the wringer pretty thoroughly some years ago for their claims.

There’s another angle too: If the service actually does something commercially useful or better, in some sense, it might not matter what the specifics of the implementation are. Ultimately customers are going to look at price and performance and make decisions that way.
On my "projects to do when I have lots more free time" list is to make a Hacker News NNTP server. Read only, of course. Few details to work out (edits, polls, making comments, etc) but I think it could work. It would solve the "what's new in this thread" problem.
As an iOS (and Android) user and developer since about the iPad2, iPads interest me less the more iOS shifts toward being a general-purpose OS. I wouldn't buy one with macOS or equivalent on it, even if it'd been modified to work well on touch screens. At that point I'd probably get the cheapest large Android tablet I could find as a PDF reader, and just... not do the other stuff I do with iPads at all, I guess.
> It all began when my client, Matthew Herrick, a waiter-actor-model, exercised his right to leave an abusive and controlling relationship. His ex retaliated by impersonating Matthew on the gay dating app Grindr. Using Matthew’s picture and name, the ex would say Matthew had rape fantasies and then directly message with men to set up sex dates. Grindr’s patented geo-locating technology resulted in stranger after stranger going to Matthew’s home and the restaurant where he worked expecting sex. Some days, Matthew had as many as 23 visitors.

> By the time Matthew arrived at my office, exhausted and traumatized, he had already gotten an order of protection and reported the matter to the police 10 times. Yet, the flow of strangers—over a thousand at that point—wasn’t slowing. The unwitting strangers would wait for him in the stairwells at home, other times following him into the bathroom at work. “What about Grindr?” I asked. “They’re in the exclusive position to help.” Matthew said he had reported the matter to them 50 times.

If I ran a dating site, I'd jump all over this. Sure it's the right thing to do, but even from a business perspective having your platform appear to be a safe place would be important for gaining new members. If this account is remotely accurate I can't think of an explanation for this other than colossal incompetence or evil.

I’m saying your top level statement quoted below is harmful regardless of your motives because it works to minimize and excuse the impact and veracity of the accusations (which you yourself are not disputing individually). What your motives are for doing so is besides the point.

Your personal bar of it being “as broadly, uniformly terrible for all women in the company specifically” is irrelevant to just about anyone’s people’s definition of systemic harm, to the point that it’s very hard to take your argument as being in good faith.

> it's kind of off-putting how many different grievances are bundled together here—many different accusations about a wide variety of topics intended to paint a very broadly negative view of the company culture, everywhere from management to lower-level (male) employees. while I don't doubt that many of the grievances are true and merited, I have a hard time believing things could be as broadly, uniformly terrible for all women in the company specifically as the overall picture depicted here

Consider contacting your state's Attorney General office, and the US Attorney General office. Many states' AG offices have antitrust divisions[1].

The US Dept. of Justice also has an Antitrust Division[2], along with a page that details how and why[3] to get in touch with them:

> Information from the public is vital to the work of the Antitrust Division. Your e-mails, letters, and phone calls could be our first alert to a possible violation of antitrust laws and may provide the initial evidence needed to begin an investigation.

The FTC has the Bureau of Competition[4], as well.

I'd like to avoid the ODBC connector for Excel.
> the grid isn't there when you need it.

> What service do you have where your grid connection is that unreliable?

I am in Ercot, right next to where the natural gas pipelines begin and where regulation ends, and I also struggle to keep the time on all of my appliances week-to-week. I don't know how the EI grid is doing, but feels like reliability has been dropping like a rock west of the Mississippi since ~2014 or so.

I used to have a computer plugged directly into the ATX power grid that had ~3 years of uptime. What a fantastical time that was.

Now, I am currently having a 50kW standby generator installed (oversized for multi-day operation). I am also investigating multiple fuel sources and smaller auxiliary units. Have to think in 2nd order terms these days. Everyone else is getting a generator installed too.

The results look terrible and incredibly noisy. Throw more than a handful of instructions at any quantum computer that’s publicly accessible today, and you’ll get noisy mumbo jumbo.

I'm not sure how much time you plan on spending this, but I'd personally probably be willing to buy a version of this if it was able to do notifications on replies and similar features hn lurkers might want. Other interesting paid features could be read-later list, favourites, cross device syncing of read indicators and lists, etc. If you don't wanna deal with paid features maybe consider enabling the github sponsor feature so people could optionally pitch-in.

I used to host on there. A lot of guests did not use their own account. Of one such person I later found out he sold stolen watches. But I suppose uploading a fake id wouldn't be impossible either.

Airbnb primarily relies on its review system to ban people. this unfortunately has nothing to do with what you do for a living (instead it's determined by the level of luxury you provide as host and/or whether you damage the place as a guest).
