That is (almost*) the same as focusing a laser on the target with a very large lens - a highly divergent beam is only dangerous near the focus. Some laser processing machine developers make their machines eye-safe that way, if you're half a meter from the focus, the remaining radiance is low enough to not be caught by the laser safety norms anymore (there is a very low limit to which radiance is still considered class 1, after that it's not considered a laser according to the norm). But to make a highly divergent beam, you need large aperture optics.

* you'd need to have very good optics and optomechanics on each laser to make the spot small enough - the smaller optics on each smaller laser would make the spot worse than one created with a single large lens, unless the single lasers are actually from a single coherent source
I believe the bulk of the non nationalistic leave votes were from qualified trades people (plumbers/electricians/builders etc) who have seen their wages stagnate after the Lisbon Treaty and the increased supply of trades workers.
These professionals have had their wages stagnate to a point where most are unable to live a comfortable life and purchase a home. I believe they feel they’ve been ignored and marginalised to a point where they feel the risks from brexit is worth it to increase their wages.

fwiw I don’t claim the Lisbon Treaty is actually responsible (there are many variables like increasing house prices) but that is the issue, there are no concrete or tangible arguments from either side, that is why leave won.
Nothing's changed on my end, have you tried using a different browser, clearing your cache etc?
I've travelled all around Asia and Europe, nobody ever before asked me about any vaccine (yet I had optional ones)

and no, for instance in Czechia your kid DOES NOT have to be vaccinated to attend the school, they can require vaccination in optional preschool, but it can't be required for mandatory education, because the law clearly states education is above mandatory vaccination
Which now also explains why the biggest news sites are so rabidly working on attacking Facebook at every chance they have - every FB loss is their immediate financial win.
I am rather biased, but I think is a very poorly designed study. The GC design they present is likely not possible to make safe in the context of Rust with a "real" (nonleaking) implementation strategy, and the assignment they chose was deliberately one that requires tons of aliasing--but they did not provide students with the necessary knowledge or libraries to make that aliasing easier. Additionally, it contains gems like this:

> More Bronze participants withdrew from the study than Traditional participants (see section 7); the withdrawing Bronze participants may have been weaker, less industrious, or more risk-averse than the students that remained, leaving a stronger overall Bronze population compared to the traditional one.

I don't think there's anyone who's ever used Rust who thinks that it doesn't take way longer to learn or write graph data structures with just the borrow checker and no GC. So it's good to see people empirically establishing this fact, I suppose. But between the narrow nature of the task (a small toy problem that provides few opportunities to create aliasing bugs, while the borrow checker is intended to eliminate these bugs at scale), the unimplementability of the API, the unprofessional data analysis, and the lack of exposure of students to alternatives (such as TypedArena and Cell) that lack the problems of Rc<RefCell<_>>, I don't think much of the way it was conducted.
Nope. The problem is zoning laws which are a boomer invention. The population shift may actually solve the problem as there will be enough homes to go around despite it being de facto illegal to build new ones anywhere anyone wants to live.

> I just can’t go back to Debian or Arch after this, I’ve tried.

I tried to solve many of the same problems in Arch Linux with aconfmgr. It attempts to achieve reproducibility by using a model where the state of the entire system must be represented in the configuration file, and it helps transcribe any changes back to the configuration (unlike classic configuration managers, which only manage what is declared).
The OSS projects don't see it because they are paid by Microsoft for not seeing it. Around 2014 Microsoft hired some of the most power hungry and not-particularly-technical OSS developers.

They have subverted projects. Any criticism is deflected by the hired people (who might not have many alternatives).
Same here. I thought Cloudflare is having issues as the whole internet appeared slow that day. I only read that FB is down on hacker news hours later.
To add some detail, Intel has a major presence in Swindon. I was an intern there many years ago, and I still know people at the firm. Some big bosses were based there, and it would be natural for a UK fab to have been staffed from among those people.

So it's not just that Intel could have put the site anywhere in Europe, there would be some natural advantages in the UK that are undermined by Brexit.
For foreign business investment purposes Europe = UK + EU (and associated / treatied countries).

> Having windows haphazardly piled on top of each other makes me very anxious and stressed out.

I've found that overlapping windows makes sense for "gui" like applications: Half of the screen is too small for a web browser or a graphical email program or an IDE.

So these days I make do with a program that allows me to use keyboard shortcuts to move the current window to a specific position and size (different shortcuts for different positions and sizes). In this way, I spend very little time moving windows around, as I just need to hit the key for the position I want.

Also, I don't tend to move windows around, e.g. my terminal is always at the same spot, and my browser is also always at the same spot (different than the terminal). So I don't have to touch a window often.
Virtual workspaces are good but not exactly new. The first one I saw was olvwm on Sun sparcstation. CDE had 4 workspaces in its little task bar too.

I like multiple monitors for complicated debugging tasks. Its not unusual for me to have VSCode, Android Studio and Segger going at the same time. I have been tempted to hook up a 3rd monitor but ran out of desk space.
Living with other people, even with one's spouse or children really doesn't mean they want to seeing each other every minute of their lives.

> It’s just useful to know how to use the tools that everyone knows, regardless of whether they should be replaced or improved.

This is a perfectly reasonable argument to make and probably reflects the reality of working in the industry pretty well.

That said, I'm still stoked to see what people come up with in the next 20 years.

Maybe gradual improvements like Neovim tried to do. Or perhaps Vim-like text interaction in VSC or JetBrains IDEs, with all of their plugins and ecosystem. Or maybe something even more grand!
With XMonad it's also pretty straightforward. You can do it for specific applications by using the window class in your config's manageHook (like: className =? "KeePassXC" --> doFloat).

In my configuration, I also have it set up that if I hold the mod key and drag a window with the left mouse button, it becomes floating. Mod+drag with the right mouse button resizes it, pretty similar to the i3 setup you mention.

Modernising the US banking system into the 19th century.

> The move puts the USPS in direct competition with the multibillion-dollar check-cashing industry, which operates storefronts to allow unbanked or underbanked residents to cash their paychecks.

I mean, great, but why are there all these unbanked people in the first place? Why are they having to pay a whole six dollars for something that could be a free instant direct deposit?

Edit: I've just realised that the magic word may be resident. Let me guess, there's a significant fraction of (mostly nonwhite) US residents who can't produce enough proof of nationality to get bank accounts?
It's not a bad idea in some cases:

For example in Chile checking accounts were quite difficult to get for the poor until the state's bank [1] started issuing a bank account to anyone who requested it at $0 fixed cost, at a loss.

This bank also:

- Gives mortgages to sectors of the population in which banks are not interested.

- Partners with small shops to offer financial transactions in low-income or very remote areas [2] or where opening a branch does not make economic sense.

The social benefits are big and out-weight the costs/risks that would not have been taken by a private party. The bank even has healthy profits of around 350 MUSD per year that go back to the chilean state.

Considering that access to financial services is fundamental to participate in the economy, I find it to be an excellent government goal.

In this case it looks more to me a bit similar to the Deutsche Post's Postbank in Germany, that leverages their Post offices to offer financial services.

No. Supply and demand curves for the specific labor in question determines salaries. WA state has a very low W-2 income tax, in the 1% or less range, and has very high incomes due to the type of labor being sold there.

A lower income tax may cause more people to live somewhere and/or more people to be willing to work for less, but it still comes down to whether or not the supply of labor willing to work at a lower price exists.

I'm curious about this. I've used sourceforge for nearly two decades, but I was skeptical of it well before the controversial takeover. There are certain UI elements that sourceforge used and uses that I always relate with early 2000s click-the-monkey style ads and malware. I still trust certain button styles more than others. I still trust certain website themes more than others. Well before GitHub was the juggernaut of open source it was, I felt like I had some instinct of legitimacy compared to sourceforge or self-hosted subversion or tortoisesvn.

I think this is an important classification. When I, and I assume many of the people here, see an email to them or a friend that looks legitimate, we check the sender's full email (as opposed to the shorthand displayed, which is meaningless), and often don't click on any links, opting to physically type a url into our browser and navigate to where we should instead. There's some feeling that something is funny, in the same way some people don't buy thousands of dollars of cheap makeup from Avon and others do.

I still trust GitHub and am a happy customer. I don't think they're going the way of the buffalo. I definitely can see how (again, not an opinion I hold), one could perceive UI/UX changes that they don't like as a sign of imminent downfall.

The understanding of natural instincts in relation to simpler interactions have some reasonable explanations, albeit not universally agreed upon. How dare we have the audacity to claim an understanding of human instincts when it comes to the youngest universal man-made change to our species possibly ever?

This is not being snark, troll or whatever you what to call it. I am genuinely curious. How? Why? Did we arrived here.

At one point you thought this is some thing that are amplified by social media, and they are a small minority. You ignore Social Media. Then you see this even on HN, or some other specific / niche forum. And someday you meet people in real life who actually believe in it. That company should do the right thing. And these people are suppose to be smart, from an educational or pay grade scale.

> Maybe a dumb question, but why is the government getting into banking?

I think all you need to do is considering banking as a basic human right, which can include everything. In addition, you can use race / gender / xx difference to make it an inequality issue, which again can include everything.

> You’re already short USDT anytime you buy crypto in USDT terms (i.e. BTC/USDT

That doesn't make any sense. If I buy BTC with USD and then transfer it to an exchange with a BTC/USDT pair, I'm not suddenly "short USDT".

So I don't see why buying BTC with USDT directly makes me short USDT either if I didn't borrow the USDT but bought it with USD
One reason many postal services are interested in this is that they tend to have a very wide physical footprint in a time where banks are increasingly closing branches.

In many countries post offices act as a generalised "service provider" where third parties can contract to have in-person transactions done.

Often they are processing various transactions for existing banks anyway.

I'm not in the U.S. but yes I expect that Walmart would be a direct competitor in providing these sorts of services.

> What’s going on is that without some kind of direct experience to use as a touchstone, people don’t have the context that gives them a place in their minds to put the things you are telling them.

It's one of the reasons schooling doesn't work as it should: for a lot of things taught, children don't have a direct experience of, and therefore they have difficulties understanding those things.

There is a way to overcome those difficulties though: teach by a real-life metaphor as an example. I have tried it myself, in many cases, where the thing I had to explain was difficult to understand due to lack of direct experience. A real life metaphor usually did the trick.
even fb/ig regulars should be able to find that information quickly so i guess they indeed did not "log off" after that.
Why does it matter that Walmart offers it at a lower price? No one is forcing you to go to USPS. All that suggests is that USPS set the service at a price where it should be profitable.

Walmart may subsidize the service assuming you’ll spend money in store and they’ll get several more dollars out of the transaction. Even less expensive, grocery stores have long done cash checking for free when you check out at the store.

It is hard for me to be upset about a new service that is less expensive than the set of companies gouging people, but has some competitors that are cheaper. I don’t get up in arms over price differences between target and Walmart, why should I between USPS and Walmart?

> I dont understand how US got to to this point, having tech companies making morale judgement and law enforcement on pretty much every issue.

Because the institutions that should have handled these responsibilities got broken down intentionally due to "starve the beast" libertarian ideology. Congress is gridlocked and plagued with cronyism, corruption and obstructionism for decades, and the fact that FPTP leads to extreme polarization doesn't help either.

Regarding law enforcement, the problem is similar - the fact that police unions are so powerful that they can threaten democratically decided reform projects (e.g. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/08/03/how-police-uni...) is maddening in itself.

The end result is a weird form of anarchism - trial by public, one may call it IMO... in the absence of government regulation - no matter if due to incompetence, old age of those in decision-making power or bribery - individual actors simply do whatever they want (aka makes the most profit for them), unless the pressure of the public in form of protest campaigns reins them in a bit.

You can call that FUD if you want, but not acknowledging that crypto is a wild, wild west with a lot of shady corners, will set you up for a big reckoning at some point.
