Nice work :)

Samrat might want to also look at the 'pi noir' camera along with an IR light, to make sure the pesky rabbits don't eat his veg at night ;)

I'm tempted to try something similar to scare cats away from my 'wildlife camera'.

Kind of curious if you could run the ML inference on the pi itself too?
>This is a Product led decision.

I've never worked at Microsoft, but have worked at other large software companies. This is 100% a design decision. Engineers like buttons, shortcuts, neat tricks, test tools, secret options, lots of menus, etc.
Just as soon as the CAD tools I've put a decade into learning and building tools for work on something other than Windows, I'll be right with you.
This was genuinely one of the more intuitive parts of the task bar. Although I'm aware that you can pin applications to the task bar by right clicking. I surely hope they give alternative ways to pin stuff.

But in the article, here's what's pissing me off:

> In Windows 11, the taskbar lost some other quite popular features users enjoyed in Windows 10. For example, you can no longer move the taskbar to the top, right, or left.

Now I'm not a user of this feature. But in my immediate circle, no less than 6 of the many people I know work with windows (maybe 30 folks ?) use the task bar on the left or right (they have different monitor setups)

Sure, it's at best anecdotal, not very significant, but it's been there since the dawn of Windows ... That's really bound to piss off some people
"Heads should probably roll here..."

Google has a blameless post-mortem process (see https://sre.google/sre-book/postmortem-culture/) which essentially boils down to:

0) We want to fix the situation. By the time the post-mortem happens, that should already be done.

1) We want to make sure this never happens again. In order to do that we need to understand as much as we can about what happened.

2) We want everyone to share everything they know about the event. If the participants worry about fallout, they will be compelled to cover up.

3) Most failures happen at a number of points, so you need to dig in deeply if you want to get full value out of the "event".

4) Good post-mortems lead to process fixes to reduce (or eliminate?) the chance of similar events, or to make fixes throughout the code base.

The other thing is that after the post-mortem, all of the folks involved have learned from it. Usually they're better engineers because of that expensive lesson you've just paid for.

Disclaimer: Googler, participant in several post-mortems, opinions my own.
I no longer work on Windows or at Microsoft. I expect most engineers don't care enough about Windows to lose their livelihood over it. However many of us did leave the organization after that release.
I think Starcraft and Warcraft before it are both stellar examples of inventive remixing and borrowing from existing worlds. That is very different from plagiarism.

Games Workshop does not own the copyright on nearly-dead-warriors-entombed-in-exoskeletons. Nor did they invent the idea of the nearly dead being sustained by cybernetics, or of using robotics to assist those of limited physical ability. We all are inspired by things.

It's especially odd to talk about about "Warhammer" or "Starcraft" as if they are managed by a single human, when in fact all of these worlds are written and envisioned by a multi-generational army of creative people who are all drawing on sources to come up with ideas. Are all of the employees of GW who write about dreadnoughts plagiarizing the employee who came up with the idea?
I don't buy this. I've known a lot of people, especially from a south-east asian background, that are extremely reserved when it comes to self-advocacy wage-wise and still remain extremely strong and clear communicators in the areas that matter. Additionally various factors of neurodiversity bring this into an even worse light, being mildly Autistic can make this difficult to accomplish even if you're able to communicate well with the team on a day-by-day basis.
I agree with this. Early Blizzard games had amazing worldbuilding and great single player experiences, with good multiplayer options.

After WoW's success they seemed to try to pigeonhole all of their properties in the same direction, SC2 and D3 were quite clearly online/multiplayer first with single player as an afterthought, and the world depth felt lacking. Hearthstone's alright but feels like it has too much focus on PvP games and loot box mechanics.

If there's one thing that all the bad news coming about Windows are not capable of, is me switching to mac. I've used it daily for work for years, and I still hate everything about it except the shell (even that, at times...)

I'd be happy with Linux but I never had the time/inclination to ensure my games work there. Win11's taskbar might just get me to find out.
I tried to follow mitsuhiko (flask creator) but did not work. Sad because interesting person to follow
So, it's his fault for being part an institution that's judgmental of certain sexual preferences, but also you're, like, totally judging him for his sexual preferences?
I'm with you, in concept. I stopped using Windows on any of my personal machines back around the Win 98 days.

Unfortunately, my employer makes me use it at work, so I can't really avoid it.
It reminds me during the last win10 update they added that stupid weather widget on the task bar.
Just rebrand it and make the Trump/Freedom version an option.
Others can just get the normal one.
Nice idea but some glitches still. Tried to follow the flask creator but both on name and twitter alias no hits and no feedback. Hope it will improve
Just saw this posted on Reddit earlier. The performance lags a lot, but it's insane to see VSCode running in a simulated OS in a browser in an OS. It's pretty neat.
"I'm a lot more sensitive now and sometimes it gives me panic attacks"

Have you tried using the minimal amount of very low-potency weed?

In my experience negative effects like paranoia and panic attacks come from overdose, either by using high-potency weed and/or smoking too much.
"At one point in the saga, Juszkiewicz was told by government agents he could make his problems go away if he used foreign labor for manufacturing."

Wow--

(I do get we should not be importing endangered s pieces of wood. This seems like someone overreacted? I guess the moral of the story is don't play around with the feds?)
Initial designs, sure. When it comes to making trade-offs in features and functionality vs ship dates then that falls into the realm of a Product Manager.
Because the phone isn't the problem, they are relatively secure.

But when you install applications on your phone which mishandle your data or even sell it -- it doesn't matter how secure your phone is.

The problem is the business culture and legal environment of software development. It's profitable and often legal to abuse data.
I just want to be able to drag taskbar items around in the taskbar like I can with Chrome tabs.

7+ Taskbar Tweaker lets you do this in Windows 10, even breaking out of window groups. XFCE lets you do it out of the box. XFCE does also let you drag files to the taskbar item to activate that window, which I do occasionally. I already switched to Manjaro everywhere for work though, so Microsoft can do whatever they want. Windows machines are just for games and watching streams in my house.
This is exactly why moonshot projects such as this exist. Even though toroidal MCF machines clearly are the most conservative choice and funding levels aren't nearly as high as is necessary to build a reactor in the near future, society says "what's a few million dollars to keep on turning over rocks? There might be a shiny coin under one."
The article says the problem bricked their laptop - but I was under the assumption that you can create a non-google account/guest account on Chrome OS to use the device.
> Countries extradite because they think it's in their best interest

Indeed and that was my point. Treaties are signed despite significant disagreements in the law, that's not the driving factor you made it out to be earlier. The EU and the US historically disagreed significantly on things like the death penalty or drug related crimes yet the extradition treaties were readily signed. But interests are better served by avoiding retaliation.
It would be hilarious if the taskbar remained on the long side of the monitor after you rotate it. Given these baffling changes, I might not even be surprised.
Yes, and the entire point of this type of fraud is to deceive this exact process. The fraudster knows what due diligence is going to be performed.
I use it daily for copying files, since you can effectively select a window from behind other windows just by hovering over the task bar icon. It's gonna suck having to rearrange windows before this otherwise simple task can be completed.
This has nothing to do with capitalism as communally (or otherwise non-capitalistically) owned food production entities would also be highly incentivized to grow crops in the desert because it just works better, assuming adequate water supply from pipelines or rivers. This is observably true as many countries are using desert/dry land areas to grow crops more efficiently, including those more on the "socialized" spectrum of mixed economies.

The thing we should do in this situation is increase our ocean desalination efforts (not to an extent that would counteract sea level rise, but it wouldn't hurt), alongside creating more water pipelines to achieve better distribution into areas which need it. We aren't going to stop crowing crops in desert conditions. It's too effective. We should build more water pipelines to bring water into regions like the California central valley and Colorado and Utah where water is more scarce but crop conditions are good aside from the water availability.
Windows 11 really is shaping up to be the vista version. Look forward to windows 12 which will have all the good features without the annoying ones.

Microsoft really has a lock on the good-bad-good cadence.
There is no evidence of it ever happening, there are people with unexplained symptoms outside of Havana.
No version of Windows released in the 90s supported anything like this, and I'd love for you to give actual examples of any features that have been lost.

That being said, removing this feature is a terrible decision and I'm not happy to hear about it.
I feel like we can find a middle ground between phone books and "let me by the location of every homosexual in a country".

Please, at least get the source for MSM in US.

Taiwan media famously claimed that most Chinese mainlanders cannot afford pickled vegs [1]. Taiwan media outlets are the laughing stock of democratic reporting, they are money- and attention-grabbing, and without much respect for anything.

I should be more specific: an efficient 'USA-megahome-sized' fridge. Our typical fridge is often 25-35 cubic feet (850 litre)... that's about double the size of the small fridges used in many parts of the world.
The Kibbutzen don't work, either. The Israeli government taxes the capitalist businesses in order to subsidize the deficits of the Kibbutzen.
Yes, you're right to be wary of suid, but primarily against local attacks on my laptop. The suid risk for a remote attacker seems rather less than from remote malware without the sandbox. Opinions may differ.
I also think this is a fairly sensible design decision.

I personally would expect dragging a file to the dock would put the file on the dock, rather than trying to open the file in whatever app you dragged it onto.
Yea, ditto. I need to be in the office with these folks tomorrow so I tend to be very conservative with consumption at work events.

I don't want to burn the accumulated good will from the workplace by being an asshat one evening.
> the biggest myth with apps today is "if you build it, they will come"

Are there really people who still think that? I thought it was common knowledge that market knowledge, sales, and marketing are an order of magnitude more important than the tech.

I shudder to think of those who quit their jobs and jumped all the way in without knowing this basic fact
The problem is, the "small group" is also the same small group who figures out how to disable or firewall the telemetry. So their use cases end up being ignored completely.

That's the downside to force-feeding telemetry to everybody without respecting individual user preferences. Some people won't like that, and will find workarounds to disable it. While those clearly aren't the users you need to pay the most attention to, they are among the users that you least want to ignore or disenfranchise.

The irony being that if telemetry had been voluntary, most of us would never have bothered turning it off.
By this logic a 74LS138 is a “digital computer”.

It’s limited because it has only 3 bits, but if you play with the input bits, the output bits change!

Do we really know the structure of every protein that assembles into a human cell?
That's a small experiment I'm carrying out.

People on the internet tend to love free 'badges' - if you've ever been active on a forum, they're full of them.

The "Free store" badge is what a seller gets when they create a store on SellApp. If they then decide to upgrade their store, the badge will be replaced by a more colorful "Premium store" or an even fancier "Advanced store" badge.

I want to check two things:
1. Whether the "Free store" badge bothers new sellers
2. Whether sellers are more incentivized to upgrade in order to get the fancier "Premium store" or "Advanced store" badge
I think part of the problem is that people are using the wrong stuff. My personal preference is for milder balanced strains that are about 50% CBD, or CBD-only strains. The THC-only strains tend to have been bred to be strong and if you are not careful, many will trigger anxiety etc. CBD modulates or stops this effect. Often you can repair a problematic THC-only strain by mixing it 1:1 or 1:2 with CBD.

If you live in a legal jurisdiction, please do try a balanced and/or cbd-only strain if you are someone who has had problems with anxiety from many thc-only strains.

I love that they think that smoking weed is causal to schizophrenia...but aren't considering the opposite.
Why can't they use Palantir software to solve this, just like they used Palantir to "solve" Bin Laden?
You smoked "4 puffs from a bong" which is a _lot_ of weed for someone who is essentially cold turkey.

The whole anecdote that weed is _exceptionally_ stronger than it used to be in the past is not well proven. In the 70's people were alleging weed is 20x stronger than in the 60s, in the 80s alleging it was 7x stronger than in the 70s. In the 90's alleging it was 40x stronger than the 80s. And so on. People repeat it because someone goes from cold turkey to sucking down a huge toke from a vape pen in 2021 and get high as balls, not taking into account they probably vaped the equivalent of a whole joint in one action.

Its a trope that's never been born out by any real data.
It never occurred to me that software is making an entire subclass of data entry workers.

The psychedelic effects of pot usually come from using edibles or smoking high potency preparations like hash.

The effects also vary from person to person, and even in the same person at different stages of their life.
Nope. My first girlfirend's father had a life-long schizophrenia triggered with a short series of binge drinking when he was 18 (!!!) and never touched weed or anything else.

Case point 1 but simple fact is, tons of people have some sort of predisposition to some form of mental illness. Wife is a doctor and she nicely sums it up - its not binary, tons of folks having miserable life are in scale 1-10 somewhere in lower part of one or the other mental illness (or more). Bipolar, OCD, ADHD, schizophrenia, etc., you name it. She deals with them daily.

For some, weed could trigger it. For some, some other drug or some big shock (close relative death, accident, violent crime etc). Since we don't ban the rest, banning the weed is just cargo culting due to US policies re hippies from Nixon era, enforced globally due to UN treaties. Which led to ridiculous situations where places like India or Nepal having marihuana as holy flower of god Shiva for literally thousands of years, using it to celebrate him, and suddenly had to ban it... at least on paper. Because bureaucracy.

Your father is not a good reference for this topic, its often a sad story when such people are asked to make policies that govern us all. They are always 'too deep' in the problem, see only the worst cases, so inevitably for them its the source of all evil and extremely dangerous. They don't know how happy, connected with nature and universe one can feel, how sex can be 10x better than best one he ever had, and orgasm can be literal nuke in your cranium, by far the strongest experience in ones life. Or tons of other, positive effects if not used in excess.

Ask doctors who work on alcohol rehab clinics whether it should be banned. Most will say definitely, and those who don't simply because they use it to self-medicate depression. And that is only because its socially acceptable drug, although way more destructive than weed could ever be.

If you're implying phonebooks were a net value add to society I strongly disagree. Needing someones consent (not necessarily the person you're contacting) to contact someone should really be the default.

Further selling ad space in a book filled with other peoples information and those people who are the unwilling product get nothing but spam calls in return? Seems pretty gross if you ask me.
I'm afraid though astronomy is just going to have to deal with that for a decade...this is frankly more important

At least you are honest in your dismissal.

A counter point of view is that an unelected private individual/organisation visibly polluting the night sky of the whole world represents extraordinary arrogance.
Don't worry, the Authors have an agenda too: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abst...
Regarding 2, we’re rapidly approaching the expiration date on any relevant patents from the early 00s. I wonder what software will look like 10 years from now when all the great ideas can be commoditized…
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.

Obviously it’s in the realm of possibility that a company could fake, but I think if anybody was caught doing that, they’d tank their reputation within the community extraordinarily quickly.

I haven’t heard of any serious or reputable company doing this.

As for other things you’ve said, I definitely disagree with you and agree with the article that there is brain drain. That’s not to say every commercial entity is fully or continuously responsible for it, but DWave, IBM, Google, and every other company that currently or formerly over-promises or outright lies has drawn people out of academia into frequently senseless industrial positions.
Depends on company culture. In some places, people really let their guard down and get loose with their co-workers.
This sounds exactly like what is happening with Axie Infinity right now. Where you need to buy in with about $500 of ethereum right now... And then get "paid" out actual rewards and supposedly can make your money back after a month or something grinding in the game.
Can't wait for this to take off!
Why does PIE need to be the first language?

The author is making a point about abstract terms (and thoughts) evolving from earlier, more concrete ones. All he needs of PIE is for it to have preceded english, or more precisely, to have origins from before 2200 BC.
Spreadsheets are a hammer so if that's all you know then all problems look like the nail. Really, many power users of Excel ought to be looking at more capable, testable and readable solutions from professional data analysts and scientists. Python would be a good start, but there are many options better than Excel for critical systems.
> "You" are the mind/conscious self, a separate construct in the physical brain

Sam Harris has a lengthy discussion about this separation in "Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion" where he looks at what we've learned from patients who've undergone a corpus callosum surgery. The TL;DR of that surgery is that it's done on people with severe seizures to sever the two hemispheres of the brain to minimize the seizures. But it also tends to (gross over-simplification incoming) create two distinct personalities in the same person, so Harris looks at essentially what gets doubled as elements that cannot be part of the self.

A lot of the rest of the book also deals with the nature of self as revealed through meditative practice and drug use. It's a somewhat tedious read, but it's really fascinating stuff.
Disgraced X means they were X but have fallen from that position. You can’t be a disgraced X if you’re still an X.
Running a sequence against both seems like a good idea. If they agree the certainty will go way up.
There are multiple factors and law is absolutely one.

The fact that the US has the death penalty is a commonly cited reason that other countries deny or hesitate to extradite.
I think for such a huge company it's both hard

- Not to have many accusations

- Not to be guilty to some degree

But I think admitting guilt might not be a good move either way. My question was a bad one anyway since it'd be hard to know if any response would be well perceived.

Such a great guy. At Hashiconf a few years ago he was just one of the normal people, a load of us all went to the speakers’ dinner and he just found a seat and sat down - opposite me, as it happened, and we had a laugh. Armon is a top chap too, we would talk motorbikes if I ever bump into him. Their tech skills are top-notch and I wish them the best of luck. So many tech companies would be better off this way.
Aren't they doing the complete opposite by, for example, not adding touchscreen to Macs and handicapping iPadOS on purpose so that it can't be used for real work despite having an M1?

They benefit way more from selling multiple devices for different purposes than they would from selling "THE" ultimate device.
Heh, that's definitely not the case here! I don't think there's very many digital good sellers active on Hacker News to begin with.
