im not necessarily opposed to it, but there are tradeoffs that come with a universal port. USB consortium tried to fix this with the coloroed tongues inside the female piece, but either manufacturers thought they were ugly or the number of different functions outstripped the colors your could reasonably use.

i doubt think many on HN will have trouble with this, except when their family asks why it doesnt work when the cable is plugged in and cant read the fine print on the sheath.
Well for one, because it's very inefficient.
I think free time allows you to seek long term pleasure. That was my experience when I was younger, penniless, relatively un-obligated, and much more free. I would (and do) describe my current 9-5 existence as largely joyless.
It's funny, because most devs that are pro CLI for these kind of things, are actually unable to operate vi, or install any server / container without installing a complete desktop environment.

Perhaps I should add, the assumption being that the firearm would be brandished/used in the event the person came into their home, and there was an immediate threat. The user would adhere to basic firearm safety and use it lawfully.

I meant perceived as in, things seem worse than they are, versus someone thinking “hey QAnon said my neighbors are false flags, let’s go” (hyperbolic, but you get the point)

I understand the confusion though without the assumption laid out.
One of the reasons I avoided Windows all these years. It seems a little brittle though. Messing with font rendering is such a basic OS feature. I wonder if it could ever be made robust without the help from the oficial vendor.
> But isn't fiber optic cable less tolerant of the kind of abuse that a short USB cable would see?

A USB 3, or TB cable will be dead long before a toughened single mode cable from an equivalent amount of abuse.

I had many TB cables which degraded, or died completely simply from gently rolling, and unrolling them a few times.

I had a single mode cable in the office being driver over by heavy carts, and stepped on for years without it giving in.

Multimode cables though are way more prone to signal distortion from mechanical stress because of their their thicker cores.

On Arch Linux, I installed libimobiledevice from source (https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice), as the newest version in Pacman didn't connect to my iPhone.

I also installed usbmuxd via Pacman.
biggest problem in digital anything is the amount of bs and randomness

non tech saavy people rely on rote learning at surface layers, and every year comes a new way, new look, new lingo .. they feel it's yet another big knowledge gap to learn when in fact there's almost nothing new under the sun (algorithms are as old as civilisation, logic doesn't change much)
Toner or ink shouldn't be much of a problem IMO — you can buy off-brand ink and toner for DIY cartridge refills for existing proprietary printers.
Why Norway Won’t Give Up on Oil and Gas
"Google is an advertising company, with some hobby businesses in cloud or self-driving cars. It doesn't get much more middleman than that."

1) Where a company derives it's revenues, is not necessarily where it creates value.

2) Search is not a side-show, neither is mapping, Chrome, v8, Android, Google Cloud, Go, Flutter etc. - and frankly neither is advertising.

3) Advertising is valuable. Only really those who've never worked in business don't realize this. Companies don't spend gazillions on it for no reason. Lack of efficiencies in marketing are obvious, but so are they in other fields.

... also:

"China has plenty of capital, it's not as if we're in the 1970s and the US is the only way to go."

This little sense as China has it's own central bank, which is politicized, and Xi makes his own capital out of thin air.

China never needed 'US Dollars' for anything. They needed 'US Buyers' and to steal 'US knoow how and tech' - but they never really needed foreign direct investment.

"Xi is cracking down in other areas that are not a plausible threat to the CCP, like bitcoin miners"

No, BTC is one of the biggest threats to the control of the CCP (and other financial institutions) because it puts economic activity completely out of his control - especially trans national control.

'Crypto Currencies' - or any for of economic freedom outside the purview of the CCP - is probably the #1 threat to the CCP - more than military, or social upheaval. BTC is obviously too small right now to be a problem, but it balloon quickly putting everything outside his power, and the rest would follow.
I am probably not actually being realistic in terms of economic results and ROI, but the FIX library GP seems well established - making it documentation that's the case I would like to put forward : any code in a critical path, and what better than a financial exchange subsystem, can be purchased from any number of vendors with support, but how many have genuinely caring, intelligent, thoughtful and usable beyond the immediate remit, thorough and readable documentation? Cloth letter binder and loose leaf format with theoretical introduction, theory of operation, enumerated common implementation errors for examples together with laying out conventions for the payload / XML DTD - the docs you can write tests and tools against without the code.... I have signed off on a pretty penny or two to obtain docs like this, and hundreds of dollars per copy is totally reasonable. I'd thin film laminate select chapters and affix a dry wipe pen inside (how much would it be to custom some from All express?) and by the sounds of this situation I think you could see a standard adoption and satisfying return. Boxes, ring bind, shrink wrap and a 2nd color printed sparingly add up to something that management likes a lot, usually. Professional product support bridges the economicd to enterprise fees, imo..

Zettelkasten is just one incarnation of the hypertext idea. Wikis and the web being others. Calling it "Zettelkasten" is perhaps a fad, but the thing itself will never go out of fashion because it mirrors our thinking in a fundamental way.
Are problems of the first world a priori invalid because they are of the first world? What makes you think that non-first world people also don’t care about these things. Even the concept of first world seems a little data anymore. Between urbanization and the internet a lot of those categories have blurred in the last few decades.
This might make sense in gambling, but I don’t see how it applies to the Olympics. I’m sure I (a non-runner) could beat Olympic runners in a race if they hade 150 pound vests on, but why is that interesting?

Now obviously that’s a dumb example, but why would it be interesting to see olympic sprinters beat Usain Bolt in a sprint if Bolt has a 10 pound vest on? I feel like the challenge at that point is determining how much to handicap everyone, and all the results would tell you is if you handicapped them correctly or not.

Why would efficiency be a relevant measure for how to live my life?
Yes! I love to do transformations with lib2to3, but unfortunately it is now deprecated. As I've stated in the README, for complex refactorings I also would personally prefer working with CST (probably through parso instead of regular lib2to3), but for refactoring small fragments I wasn't able to observe major differences in formatting in big codebases. Thanks for sharing this btw!
A similar type project. Though I haven't seen much activity recently:

I don't see any undefined behavior here. As I mentioned below, gcc explicitly documents type punning via unions as being well defined. But yes, this is compiler specific and is not guaranteed to work elsewhere.
Just flag it
As an academic economist, I am glad they are doing this. (Disclosure: I don’t work on platform or network issues, nor do I have a funding relationship with any of these companies.)

As the article notes (and as is true) there are issues in the regulation of platform markets and network goods in economics which are still quite unclear, even in theory. It isn’t clear what the right (theoretical) model is or what the welfare costs or benefits are, so the best way to regulate these firms or do competition policy in this area is similarly unclear.

What’s more, even if you have a model, that’s not enough to convince people. You will generally need data to estimate it to get an idea of what the costs or benefits of different market structures or regulations would be in practice. These firms are the only firms that can provide that data. (Exception: the government can demand it as part of an antitrust investigation, but that is generally locked down and unavailable for research.)

Anyone accepting their money should absolutely disclose that relationship in any project remotely related to those issues, but you can generally find such disclosures, at least with economists.

I also very much doubt that a research grant of the size of academic research grants I’m aware of is enough to “buy” someone’s opinion.

This is not some nefarious conspiracy!
In 2015 or so I wrote a tiny tool for people to record the outgoing voicemail message from their phone. In the intervening years it's helped more than 23,000 people move on from loss, save a grown child's cute voice, and lots of other things. It hasn't been significantly financially rewarding but it's incredibly fulfilling to help someone on such a personal level.

Yep and the CEO claimed 10x faster than current tech while using 10% the electrical power. If it’s really 100x more efficient that is huge. But it’s the CEO saying it so hard to say how true it is.

If Bezos had been clever he would have just said 'oh you have rockets covered, amazing, let me invest any my company faces on in space infrastructure'.

With the billions and billions BlueOrigin spend they could have done amazing things in space. But instead they are building inferior version of rockets.
That's so funny you mentioned this because I asked one time on a forum if something like that were possible and got absolutely roasted for "such a stupid question"... I'm super glad my thinking was on the right track. Thanks for the explanation. What brokers allow you to do that, btw?
Until Columbus no one had ever heard of neither God or Jesus from Canada to The Patagonia.

> Perhaps at one point something changes and he has the ability to aquire the writing form of a language agian.

That sounds like what I was wondering. Perhaps something "snaps" into or out of place "catastrophically" (in the sense of almost discontinuously, in the context of the usual timescale of psychological changes). For example, it sounds like his loss of fear occurred pretty suddenly.

I feel a bit awkward speculating about the mind of someone who I know of from just a single essay. That said, he's published a scathingly-honest record of his fascinating history with writing, and presumably he wants it read and discussed. And it's about him, so we discuss him, I guess.
No mention of the gut microbes that produce isoalloLCA, though. Why?
Pre pandemic, I'd go often to trader joe, and they would give samples. It was maybe a small bite of a food (ice cream, salat, or whatever else), and use a plastic fork for it.

Just one bite, and you had to throw it out. It was more plastic than food. Whole Foods was the same. I think it is a crime against environment and I started feeling bad about it, and stopped taking samples when there were plastic utensils.

It think behaviour like this should be legislated out. For something like a sample, just a small wooden spoon, or anything else renewable, should be enough.

The externalities of that plastic, is something that neither Trader Joe or Whole Foods pays, but we all do in some way.
You can move there without telling anyone. For example I live in the same house on paper where I was living 16 years ago. No one cares and no one will go and check if you live there. I'm pretty sure you can make this work.

> The U.S. also ranks as high as third among coastal nations for contributing litter, illegally dumped trash and other mismanaged waste to its shorelines.

I can't access the paper, but can anyone verify: Do I understand correctly that this means the US might be as high as third in terms of contributing trash that ends up on the US's coastline?
At what age specifically do you believe an aging tradesman should be stripped of worker protections? 30? 42? 60?
Everything tastes better wrapped in paper, or real wax paper. Like at a butcher shop.
The worst is the stiff plastic boxes used for pastries in a bakery. Visual, tactile, taste, aural, all is worse than a classical piece of paper or cardboard box.
(Then there is the modern paper stations that a very thin veneer of plastic coating that is horrible too, but pretends to be good.)
I don’t think the size of silicon transistors has anything to do with this. There is no direct comparison. So they will prob bigger but no one cares.
> Bluetooth also can interfere with WiFi.

Most wireless mouse/keyboards dongles use ESB (enhanced shockburst), which operates on the same frequency as WiFi and Bluetooth (2.4GhZ). So it may also interfere with wifi.
Isn't the cardboard 'lined' ?

And how much does it actually differ, plastic vs cardboard?

For the cardboard, the basic ingredient also has to be harvested, or won another way. Then it needs to be transformed into cardboard.
Any before / after screenshots?

I really don't understand when someone makes a project such as this (which seems to have been around for a while), and does not include at least 1 screenshot
It takes something that once was made accessible, through active effort, and makes it inaccessible. That's the point.
This is amazing. I now work in consumer SAAS web development, but I worked for a long time in finance and for 7 years of that exclusively focused on FIX, writing a real-time, highly performant market interface. I would have _loved_ to have had something like this while I was working on it. Have you thought of commercializing it? Do you get to use it in your day-to-day work?
I think it's still 1-2 years away. Rembrandt and X670 may have USB4.
article makes the point that Search is better in quality than most competitors but honestly I could live with Bing. Mail, Drive or Android, that would be a headache.

I also think the advantage of Google over competitors is somewhat overhyped, in particular when it comes to English search results. In foreign languages Google is in my experience way better, but in English I feel like it more comes down to learn how to Google, which is something most people don't seem to recognize is a skill.
I’m still not clear on why UBI won’t just raise the price floor on everything (rent in your example) to the point where it becomes ineffective again. In Mountain View, landlords raised rents when they heard companies were giving a bonus for people living within 15 miles. Some even included it in their advertising.

20% of Americans believe almost anything under the sun (although it’s a different 20% for each issue). Demanding 100% belief in climate change to accomplish something is not the best strategy.
I use it most places. Either my real name, David Reagan, or some form of jerrac. I've never had reason to stay anonymous, so I just prefer to "own" everything I post.

That said, I have no issues with those who prefer to be anonymous, and I know it's important for some peoples safety.

So you didn't read the paper, you don't know who wrote it, and you're commenting on a paraphrase in the headline. What exactly are you contributing to the discussion?
The text drawn in most places doesn't match the cleartype tuner (try choosing the most grayscale option each time), and the cleartype in general doesn't take into account screen rotation. Turning off cleartype leaves you with text with odd per-pixel kerning.

I haven't used bowler, but from what I can see it is using lib2to3 (through fissix), which can't parse newer Python code (parenthesized context managers, new pattern matching statement etc.) due to it being using a LL(1) parser. The regular ast on the other hand is always compatible with the current grammar, since that is what CPython internally consumes. It is also more handy to work with since majority of the linters already using it, so it would be very easy to port rules.
Sounds like Twitch is allocating resources and not releasing them.
But by the home owner not having a firearm, or self defense weapon, doesn’t prevent the violent encounter.

A criminal who plans to intrude will still intrude. One case you have a chance to defend yourself or family, the other you’re left to “retreat” (which I think, perhaps controversially, if it’s your property you shouldn’t be obligated to retreat it if someone is criminally trying to enter). That also assumes you can retreat.

In a vacuum sure the arms race would escalate, but this assumes infinite resources. If I get a pistol, then the lower “bar of entry” becomes a pistol for the intruder.

If I get a heavier weapon, such as a shotgun, the intruder is gonna have a harder time (even if slightly) buying or finding the more costly (resource wise) weapon.

what I think is more likely to happen, is unless you have an organized gang, solo criminals will just go for easier crimes. They won’t risk entering a neighborhood that is armed.

Because then the cost to enter the house, and come out safe/successful, drastically increases once the home owner has capable self defenses.

> Are there laptops with Thunderbolt but not Bluetooth?

There probably are desktops with Thunderbolt but not Bluetooth and a wireless keyboard+mouse set is even more relevant to be used with desktop PC than it is with a laptop.

In fact I always felt like probably buying a BlueTooth keyboard+mouse for my laptop so I could spare the USB ports for other usage. Never actually bought any because insufficient motivation - wired stuff actually feels enough, and I just bought a good USB hub for more ports.

For already about a couple of years I'm using BlueTooth earplugs. This is my first actual experience with BlueTooth. And it is far from perfect - the connection gets dropped every now and then and some times there are serious sound distortions. I've tried more than one headphones brand (never tried really expensive ones though) and many host devices.

This makes me very unsure if I actually want anything else BlueTooth.
Me, too. Specifically his Cypresses Echo of Songs pieces—declaring his unrequited love for a 16-year-old piano student of his—came to mind. He kept them a secret and they weren't published until well after his death.
I don't disagree with you, but but at the same time I think that if the editor used "Anthropogenic forcing and response yield observed positive trend in Earth’s energy imbalance" as the headline, probably nobody would have clicked, let alone read it. Heck, it probably wouldn't have made HN either.
You can't cause any real harm to nature without help from corps. But they can, by just setting up an oil drill leaking into the ocean.
This problem won't get fixed without legislation. Single use plastic is cheaper, so of course companies will use that if they can. Most people don't have the income to support "voting with their wallet", and even those who do don't always have the option. IF the best solution out there happens to use single use plastic, you're not going to opt for a worse solution just because it doesn't.

And even if one company cares enough to do something, they will change their tune when they have to start charing more.

The only way this will get better is if the external costs of single use plastic are borne by the companies that make them and consumers are subsidized to absorb the extra cost.
What radios are they using? COTS? Custom?
Idk, I don’t think it matters who we blame. The problem isn’t the multinational corporations that do this, it’s the system that lets them. We need a better system.
Cardboard dissolves in nature, plastic doesn't. It disposes of itself, for the most part.
Weak article. Mostly virtue signaling.

Yes, your lifestyle was once "designed". That probably peaked in the late 1950s. See "American Look". [1] That's the high point of industrial design. Also the era of tailfins. That was when the US first had far much manufacturing capacity than it really needed.

As for fashion, go watch this clip from The Devil Wears Prada.[2]

All this used to be coordinated from New York, when Madison Avenue and the Manhattan garment district had real power. Now it's much more random, with manufacturers struggling to keep up with trends, rather than dictating them.

the difference between a politician and an executive is that for one, as a european, you have democratic control of the people who make up the commision, while no one is able to do so for private companies.

It is actually quite sad how little democratic power people hold inside the companies and jobs they work at, especially compared to mid to late 20th century.
Efficiency isn’t about mathematical perfection, but when you dig into the numbers it’s rare to find significant exceptions.

First efficiency isn’t about winners and losers. A lottery has negative returns even though someone still wins. Similarly Google was an absolutely great investment yet venture capital firms tend to under preform the market on average.

The nuances run deep. T-Bills seemingly vastly under preform the stock market, yet buyers are generally being rational.
Sure, there should be a line somewhere, but not allowing the user to enable/disable hinting is obviously on the wrong side of the line. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have half the comments on this post opining about Windows vs OSX font rendering.
>What was their justification for being like that?

The more tools people are allowed to install and use, the less standardised software development. Meanwhile we didn't even have common source code formatting pattern and single Java class could be formatted with tabs, 2 spaces and 4 spaces.
