I think it comes down to one's workflow. If doing a lot of cross-referencing (e.g. GUI x code, paper x notes, codebase1 x codebase2), a large monitor/ more-than-one monitor situation could benefit.

Having tried large monitors before, I resonate with these points made by the author:

- "Sure, the screen was wide enough to display multiple windows side-by-side, but it was so wide that the edges felt uncomfortably distant." (My personal work-around is to use a pure black background. I suspect white is worth trying as well.)

- "[A widescreen monitor] was far too wide to maximize my windows, so I found myself spending too much time fiddling with windows. “What should I put on the left today?” “What’s important enough to be in the middle now?”"

While on the topic, I can't help but add my suspicion that people who have "better memory" might be roughly equally comfortable with switching windows on a single monitor and having them simultaneously displayed on multiple monitors.
You sure can. You just need to find a bank/broker/anyone willing to lend to you against them as collateral.
Until there's no more wild game. Countries that don't regulate hunting have no game left in their woods.
I find that the type of person who thinks FB did this intentionally (either to "erase data" or as a distraction) vastly overestimates the impact of whistleblowers.

There have been ex-FB employees publicly accusing the company of enabling foreign political interference in the US, lynching mobs forming via WhatsApp, governments spreading misinformation, not to mention gross privacy abuses by its own employees. Nothing has fundamentally changed.

Heck, nothing fundamentally changed after Wikileaks' Collateral Murder video (in fact, there have now been reports that the supposed retaliatory precision strike in Afghanistan actually killed an aid worker and his children and this too changes nothing) and nothing fundamentally changed after the Snowden leaks. Obama literally went on public television and admitted to torture and nothing fundamentally changed.

As much as us nerds tend to think otherwise, information on its own changes nothing. Scandals like this are just another piece of outrage fuel to be consumed on social media and to be liked, shared and subscribed to. Without actually organizing and defining solutions rather than just the problems, nothing fundamentally changes. Otherwise the best you can hope for is the POTUS reading off a script while making a concerned face or Congress passing a toothless bill before things return to normal.
Next gen drones of that size can reach 60km/h and I don't think trees can significantly slow them down. So the end will at least come fast.
All living things on earth are related, but Julius Caesar is thought not to have any living descendants. (He had a son who died young, and a daughter who died in childbirth, and a grandchild who died young, or something like that. Of course there may have been others we don't know about, but it is at least plausible that he has no living descendants.)
I think you’re missing the forest for the trees.
You are absolutely correct! That fact is often overlooked, and it is vital to be properly informed about the consequences of donation.

I'm wondering why anyone would disagree with you...
Your problem is not with “boomers.” It’s with a population pyramid that has actually just fallen apart — but those effects won’t show up for another 20+ years.
I’m sure they have very good reasons for exploiting people, whatever these reasons may be it doesn’t change the fact that video game companies are not good places to work at for the most part.
There are strings attached to the new location - the maintainers can (in theory) be kicked out of their own repositories.
This is crystal clear, to the point, and well put. The response to your comment makes no sense and is all over the place.

Anything that starts with 'there's a lot to unpack ' is going to be mental gymnastics communicated in a patronizing tone to defend someone's ego.

Just wanted to say I agree with all of your points and think it does tech a disservice to treat it like a blue collar job instead of a profession but at the same time the lack of professional strictness has led to alot of rapid innovation.

So it's hard to tell what's right.

well if it's a regex ddos in build tooling, it doesn't "impact your project severly". That's the entire point of this thread
You're right! That's the thing with C++ - you learn something new everyday.

I had misread your original post. I thought the example was something like "std::cout << 97".

This is unfortunate. I imagine it came about when "cstdint" was introduced. Fixing it would require a break in compatibility with any existing code that "expected" that all char types printed a character, rather than value.
Or if I'm the US and want to use this hack for political gains, I would announce that certain information was targeted when in reality they just dumped everything. Why would you use the limited time you may have access to comb through data when you can just grab everything?
I'm sympathetic to this argument, but the fact that the blog posts, discussions, tweet threads etc. under issue are publicly viewable (that's the web!) doesn't imply an obligation that members of the debate perform for the public as if it were a political debate or a court room. I suspect that the intended audience of posts by aggrieved maintainers is other maintainers in the community. Oughtn't they be able to communicate and organise without putting their communications under lock and key?

Here we are now discussing it privately on HN and GitHub as we're a bunch of busy-bodies, but I am not necessarily prepared to blame the maintainers for that.
Google Contacts is a confusingly-similar-looking competitor to Samsung contacts.
One of my favorite game studios on HN? I assumed a new Deus Ex was announced.

Glad they’re making this change, looking forward to reading an update next year.

Did any other third party site stop working because the FB tracking codes started failing? Or mobile apps for that matter using FB's SDK.
It's a little more complicated than that:

> Management’s accounting policy is to value assets and liabilities at historic cost plus any accrued interest and less any expected credit losses, or otherwise the redemption value where applicable. The realisable value of these assets and liabilities could be materially different if any key custodian or counterparty incurs credit losses or substantial illiquidity.

At least in principle they are supposed to mark down "expected credit losses". It would be nice if they spelled out what that means a little more, though.
The need for having Cloudflare is itself, to some extent, result of too much centralization. The massive DDoS attacks, which Cloudflare protects you from, require some amount of resources or at least risk taking, and are worth it only for big enough targets. No-one orchestrates a huge attack against a website with 1000 visitors per month; DDoSing an IRC network is pretty useless, because if one server is taken down, another can be used and the attacker doesn't really achieve much.
My huge node app has more than 50 dependencies. Total node_modules is smaller than yours.

Sounds like a bad choice of tools for a person who's is concerned that much about the disk size.
The copyright applies to the source code the copyright is written on. Lawyers then argue who owns the "project" (GitHub organization/repository). For example, the copyright is not applied to the issues in the issue tracker.

But the argument is about whether the .NET Foundation could do such a thing. The argument is whether they should. And, the .NET Foundation chooses that they should take over the projects, project maintainers can make different decisions themselves.

None of this has been decided yet.
Tether is manipulated semi regulated to spike in value to liquidate shorts. It's hit $1000 briefly.
As noted earlier in the thread, that embraced and transformed easier to use version of vim is called Sublime Text. (I actually thought it was a fork, but no, apparently it's just "inspired by".)

Vim's power comes from it being 1) text-based, 2) very fast to load and manipulate files, and 3) very fast to use if you are familiar with the syntax. Like many power tools, it's the last part here that's hard, but it's also very hard to fix without affecting one of the other two qualities. For example, Emacs nails points 1 & 3, but is so much slower to load that few people use it as their default $EDITOR, and has a sizable learning curve as well.
I want to express my sympathy towards open source maintainers and builders. Really they go through so much shit they dont need to go through more, but I think this has made most open source maintainers either too sensitive or their fuck-o-meter go crazy.

There is obvious a communication issue from the .net foundation but also from the maintainers themselves.

If they ask you for X permission, you cant just say no, sorry but you are part of an organization and it doesnt work that way, one way or another regardless of what was told to you X years ago, things might change and you will need to take an active stance to it.

Horrible move from the foundation to ABUSE their admin rights and move the repo to GitHub Enterprise, but posting a tweet about your emotions and then trying to find a way to move the repo without reaching out to someone is not the way to go.

Most likely even if the person did reach out to someone, the reply would be dry and late, but this is something that has been cultivated by the maintainers as well. As the article mentions "the communication was shit but it was fine as long as it didnt affect me" - not direct quote.

I think both sides need to reconsider their communication channels and behaviors.
They both need to understand that one way or another they have an obligation to each other.

I hope communication and transparency will help to not have similar issues in the future.
Ways to validate your Minimum Viable Product
We shouldn’t be looking at the little guys in this matter.

We should be looking at the incumbent players who have an established market to protect, and who will kill anyone or anything who threatens that cash cow. And they’ll take any government handout they can get to help increase their cash, but stubbornly refuse to do any real work, unless they’re forced to through some of the small fry slipping through and causing too much competition somewhere.
Some projects are "contribution" (like you describe) and some are "assignment" (.NET Foundation holds the copyright).
Me too, this was very good. The only thing missing is how it interoperates with IPv4. Can you represent IPv4 addresses as IPv6 addresses? If so what happens when you communicate with them?
The naming of the process does not provide any direct information about the performance of the transistors.

The process name is supposed to mean that if the size name is twice smaller than in the same area you can pack 4 times more transistors.

So the 3LPE process is supposed to have a transistor density about one hundred times larger than the 32-nm processes that were used for Intel Sandy Bridge or AMD Bulldozer, or about 3600 times larger than the 180-nm process used for the first Pentium 4.

The performance of individual transistors is usually worse for smaller transistors (except for the energy consumed by switching a single transistor, which is obviously smaller), but that is compensated by using more complex circuits, with more transistors, but not much more, so there is still a gain in density by going to smaller transistors.
Then you and I would probably no longer be friends.

The trick is going to be improved friend/foe detection. Historically, wars simply ended when the victor would kill all remaining enemy soldiers and enslaved their families and other people inside the areas they were defending. Brutal but effective.

The last century since basically WWII and especially the Vietnam war, we've seen increasingly less brutal wars where harming innocents is seen as a negative (in the case of Vietnam, that was what eroded the will to fight). Lately, we're seeing a type of asynchronous war fare where huge armies are effectively powerless because an insignificant opponent is hiding among civilians delivering very minor attacks with no strategic relevance. There are a whole range of stale mate situations across especially the middle east where the attacking side is simply hard to root out without lots of undesirable casualties among civilians. Just ask the Israeli's. They live tens of kilometers away from people willing to die to risk launching rockets at them, despite the fact these rockets rarely hit anything. It's been the status quo for the last decades. Their military is big enough that it keeps foreign countries from trying to invade but domestically, it's clearly not able to end the conflict.

Stalin would have ended that conflict in no time. There would be no-one remaining to figut, the local language would be Russian, and there might be a new Palestine presence somewhere deep in Siberia. His successor Putin has fared less well in Chechnya mainly because he would suffer internationally if he did it the Stalin way.

Guerilla warfare is dependent on the other side being humane enough or unwilling to not want to cause unnecessary casualties. As long as attackers manage to hide, they can't be hunted down without large amounts of innocents dying. WWII style leveling of entire cities is very much frowned upon now. I live in such a city (Berlin).

However, the ability for guerilla fighters to hide after an attack is time sensitive and critical to their survival. Drones swarming an area would make that a lot harder. Urban warfare particularly is dreaded by armies because of high casualty rates related to simply not knowing where the enemy is and the need to fight door to door to find them. This could fix that. It could be over in minutes. It won't end all wars but it will make particularly guerilla warfare a lot harder.

ISIS could be a thing of the past. The next engagements with the likes of those might be short, brutal, and effective. Minimum (but not less) loss of life, maximum effectiveness. It would follow months of covert mapping the territory, inventorying its inhabitants, and tracking all their movements followed by a few minutes of mayhem. Some people find that scary but they forget what decades long of conflict or a real war looks like.
Forking is still one way this may resolve. The .NET Foundation can decide to provide other options.

> Rents in CA (bay area in particular) are a function of demand more than landlords' cost

Exactly. In other words, especially where supply is constrained, the property tax is incident on the landowner rather than the tenant.

> my take on that is that's more caused by NIMBYism and an unwillingness to build enough housing to meet demand

Yes, the difference in land use is bigger than the difference in tax rates. However, when property taxes are higher, there is more incentive for cities and households to allow more housing. And even if you believe that property taxes are regressive, it should give you pause to realize that it is more than made up for by California’s bad land use restrictions.

> Property tax is absolutely not a progressive tax, by definition: everyone pays the same rate based on the value of their home, not based on their income or means.

No, that’s just who writes the check. You had it right the first time. The tax incidence is who bears the burden of the tax. Since property taxes are capitalized into the price and the supply is not very elastic, an increase in projected tax payments (due to an increasing rate or increasing property value) are largely borne by the landowner (in the form of a lower sales price or a sales price that grows more slowly) rather than the young worker who buys/rents it.
Porting Niceware to Rust
>> someone dying in the woods.

Lots of people do die in the woods. It's a daily thing. What is much rarer is to know that someone is dying in the woods. The scenarios whereby these drones are lifesavers are only those where a search has been launch and the lost person is still alive but in peril of death. And even with 100+ drones you still need to know the area of the person. The woods can be very big.

The more efficient method, by far, is to have a device on the person from the start. Better coordination between search and cellular providers would do much in reducing search areas, at least when looking for people carrying cellphones.
That's unfortunate. That's not how I wrote it. The blog post is about the .NET Foundation and--ultimately--about one very consequential action they took recently.

Nitpick, but in general a verbal promise in exchange for something of value would be considered a legally binding contract in the US.
Not sure if it's a fair comparison when the links you posted do not include any real evidence of flight agility or video of the actual drone. It's probably because of classified nature of this project, but still we don't know how similar these capabilities are.
> "their flight wasn't as controlled as I had thought of"

I had the same reaction, and it reminded me of other slo-mo videos of insects crawling -- it looked like they are falling all over themselves, with none of the gracefulness that I see in mammals (cheetah running, for example). I wonder if it has to do with insects having much smaller mass, hence they are more easily jerked around by things like airflow.

I recommend Algorand. Created by Turing Award winner Silvio Micali at MIT plus other great engineers. Fees less than a penny. Clears in 5 seconds, confirm within about 20 seconds. Powerful smart contract language and built in asset feature. Supported by Coinbase and others (Kraken I think for example).
Bringing Containers to Light
Google is working on that with scoped storage, but a lot of old code doesn't work with that yet and dropping the API would break tons of apps. They've been trying to kill general external storage for this reason since Android 4.4, but every time there's huge blowback from users and developers because "they're trying to take our file explorers" or whatever.

In KDE Connect you already need to use the modern API to pick a location for file browsing and it works fine. I picked the entire virtual storage area and that's what's available through remote browsing, but I could've picked a single directory. If all apps supported this, we'd be a lot better off.

Of course, there's a perverse incentive to put off the transition as long as possible so that stalking libraries can make more money. I think Google is moving very closely to forcing the new API with the release of Android 12, which would mean that most app developers can't really put off updating much longer.

Android's theming system does not have the ability to dynamically re-set <color> IDs. And, assuming they managed to do so and keep the reference unaccessible to users (because then you could just do context.getColor(android.R.color.material_you_color_primary) to resolve it), you can still access it through reflection.
