Ok so here is my quick list of Windows-related headaches that are (probably) not that hard to fix

-Need to jump through hoops to get into sound control panel. Basically adding it to the same menu where volume mixer resides would be perfect

-Sound device blacklist/priority list (lets say I have 2 monitors with craptastic speakers in them, so they appear as viable playback devices and sometimes when I connect my laptop to them, sound output automatically gets switched to one of them. I want a way to prevent this. Maybe there is one but I haven't managed to find it/doesn't work for me)

-The display arrangement tool being ass backwards when having 2 1080p monitors on top of a 4k one. Seems to me like there is some kind of more fundamental underlying problem/bug which just happens to not affect things most of the time

-Scaling for individual monitors

-Matching windows opening to monitor where they were called (say, the icon in the start menu is clicked on monitor 3, then the window of said application should also be created on monitor 3)

-Windows trying to use authentication by face using internal webcam when laptop lid is closed

-Making notepad more like notepad++ (adding line count, better handling of long lines, etc). Its a great bare-bones tool which needs a little facelift. Especially no auto line break makes it bad for just typing something out.

-Showing more telemetry like CPU temps in task manager would be nice

Probably mostly boring stuff and more like a personal feature request, which, tbh, it kind of is, so don't overthink this or something.
There's a substantial difference between the expected pushback from the minority loud voices in that spectrum seen across the world and the ouright insanity of American governors prohibiting vaccine and mask mandates.
You can also do this and go long ETH/BTC if you'd prefer.

The same ability is spinning up for sushiswap as well if you don't want have any exposure to other assets blowing up and threatening the collateral you care about.
Fine cashmere? Too ordinary. Mink? Maybe, for the merely rich. When I make my first billion, I'll have a scarf made of snow-white moth fur.
Yes. And heroin addicts, and morbidly obease people.
This is definitely not the case. The .Net Foundation is not staffed by Microsoft, nor is it owned by Microsoft. It’s an entirely distinct entity though I believe some board members work for Microsoft.
Pinterest allows you to block being pinned with:

<meta name="pinterest" content="nopin" description="Sorry, but no. No pinning." />

However, I believe that they are the only social media site (that I can find), that supports that kind of behaviour.
"Developer" is not a profession.
Super slow motion videos of tiny creatures are absolute gold for animators.

Seeing the giant flappy wings lift the moths body gave me helpful insights and really inspired me.
No, it doesn’t. Relatively little of that money will stay local.

The primary result will be that Apple will be hurt, and other multinational companies that benefit from Apple being hurt will rejoice — and the politicians who passed the laws will make their multinational paymasters happy.
Could you explain that k:v system a little bit? Junior eng. here.
If there's so many sources that the risk is 10-20x, then perhaps you can choose one which is not a tweet.

One can't be expected to know what the credentials of some random doctor on twitter are and he doesn't reference any sources of his own.
SourceForge? What is that. That coffin is nailed shut, buried and long forgotten. I don't care if they have new management and have changed the trust I had in that site was forever damaged by spreading adware in every download.
What would you use instead here?
In this case, it would be like if you told UPS someone is continuously shipping drugs through their system, and they said 'that's fine they are a paying customer' and continued to let them traffick with their infrastructure, rather than contact the police. At a certain point UPS is complicit and could be charged themselves even.
I mean, that's kinda like saying "why skip ads, someone made that content" or "why not watch whatever is on the tv on whatever channel happens to be open with you turn it on". People like different things, and tastes change with mood, timing, etc.
Same as deleting leads in intercom, which is a 4/5 clicks process. So to get rid of spam accounts, you always have to go through a tedious process.

Why? Because after all you're being billed per lead.
I’m a bit alarmed by the many issues here. I’ve heard a lot from the maintainers but much from the foundation.

- continued lack of communication
- for so many issues to occur to multiple parties paints a picture of it being routine
- that no immediate reversals have happened with utmost immediacy
- the ethos of the maturity model
- the policies apparently being enforced - even now…
- for calls to solve things privately

It’s culturally indicative of the foundation’s values whether they know it or not.

A healthy community is one where discussions happen in the open, good and bad.

This is not good, and I’d recommend the community coming together and maybe finding or forming an alternative - which is difficult I know.

I think apache.org could help here.
What, you don’t watch movies on your game device? You don’t surf the web? You don’t connect to social media?

Because all the game devices I’ve seen lately have been much more capable as universal devices than most desktop computers from previous decades.
> You do understand my original comment chain was talking about a complete tether collapse where it has 0 value and not just a temporary dip in price.

Ok, and? If USDT is worthless, you expect market makers to continue to be willing to hold it? You seem upset that an MM would wouldn’t bid > 0 for something with ev = 0. I’m not sure what you actually expect here. A Tether collapse is exactly the sort of moments that market makers don’t want to be involved in, because that’s not what market making is. It’s the definition of toxic/informed flow.

> By the way, minimum price tick on ES options is .25 (which is $12.50) lmao.

Hey genius, that’s only for options where the premium > 5 which in the above case it isn’t.

Per the contract spec:

> Reduced Tick:

> 0.05 index points = $2.50 for premium at or below 5.00

But you wanna take shots at me? Adorable.

> I’ve traded both ES and SPX options so you can stop quizzing me about them.

Haha man quit larping on HN. Do you mean SP options? Or maybe you mean SPY options. There are no SPX options because it’s an index, not an underlying.

> If you don’t believe me, look at the option chain, mr career hedge fund options trader guy (your words, not mine).

Hahaha oh man, I’m dying. So much bravado, so little to show for it. It’s weird because someone like yourself who has totally, for sure, traded loads of ES options…would know this from experience.

I'm starting to use it more and more again as most privately-run comment sections like Google Groups, Hacker News and news sites censor comments indiscriminately.
Two instruction lengths makes it slightly harder than one length, but we're not talking x86 15 lengths here.

More compact code takes pressure off icache size and refill rates, and transfer rates from icache to fetch buffer. And ROM size in embedded, sich as on FPGA.

> we can't see who registered the domain or who hosts the site (since Cloudflare masks the IPs.)

TIL Cloudflare is also a registrar[1], Might be even the cheapest. I was wondering why the parent wasn't able to find who the site belonged to through just WHOIS and sending a abuse request to the registrar, Still Cloudflare should be forwarding the abuse report not sure what's the case here.

Can anyone tell share their experience with Cloudflare registrar? When compared to something like Namecheap? Also can different Cloudflare accounts for separate products use same credit cards for using the registration service?

Startup interview questions – what you should ask?
In the case of Apple Pay, they are monetizing my preexisting relationship with my bank. But the fact that they get to control all of those relationships in very significant ways is what's really bothering me.
Even the director of the .NET Foundation is a MS employee (Program Manager), of course in practice it’s a MS entity.
Thanks, Google!

A supra-legal, unelected, international body to outsource my censorship to is what I always wanted!
I won't repeat what he said as it's as sourceless as what I said before, but it's a problem, builders complain about it, the infrastructure for the city is not well run. Here's two sources for problems like in the past month:

It’s not a ponzi per se. My guess is that they take the money from exchanges, mint more tokens at no cost to themselves and buy a bunch of junk bonds with high yields and pocket the 8% or whatever they make in those. Given their market cap that is a lot of money.

They always use precise wording about their holdings “commercial paper”. I’m guessing it’s not US treasury bonds equivalents or they would say that explicitly
I'm currently a grudging newcomer to the .NET ecosystem because I need it for work. Stuff like this doesn't ease my feelings.
I'm pretty sure the copyright is shared, at least that's how I've seen CLA's happen in the past, they grant joint ownership.
Those ant lab slo-mo videos are awesome. Can't say I haven't binged a few times on them on YouTube (lockjaw ants, springtails, Etc).

A lot of the insects do look completely silly taking off though, sometimes like they're a marionette! But fascinating.
I am vaccinated but I might change jobs if my employer thinks he can make health decisions for me. You don't want this to even start. It seems government and society in the anglospere are a bit overwhelmed.

And this is what's motivating the establishment's campaign against social media. Many people think that information should go through gatekeepers - that people shouldn't be able to share information peer-to-peer without filters.

The claims of Facebook promoting hate and extremism are part of this campaign to rollback the changes brought about by Facebook. And the claims are all disingenuous nonsense.

The Facebook "whistleblower" for example explained how she was motivated to blow the whistle after one of her friends was, in her words, radicalized, through Facebook. Of course she doesn't consider herself, a lifelong "ally" and supporter of far-left causes, who worked on a search feature allowing Pinterest users to search by skin tone - in order to discriminate in favor of people of certain colors - radicalized. Because that's pro-establishment radicalism.
For me it's Victoria who wrote the email to me.
This is the opposite of what the comment chain you replied to is talking about: the thread is about output as a measure instead of time. The hard part is measuring output. The market is currently time based because time is easy.
Or also mov based architectures?
One little known fact is that lidar has been in cars for a long time. Volvo for example has had lidar in some cars going back almost 10 years IRRC (I saw a presentation by a Volvo engineer talking about this, can't find any link right now because it's all swamped by the Volvo luminar collaboration). It was very different type of lidar though mainly used for keeping distance to the car ahead (and maybe AEB?). The thing about "modern" Lidar is that there are still so many open questions (weather, how to keep the apertures clean...) , apart from the fact that they still are way too expensive.
the very idea that you can be sued for making a tool to help people automate their computer use is such bs. Isn't computers kinda about helping people simplify and automate things to begin with?
You are factually incorrect re: Russia for reasons cited in the linked post above.

Re: Hunter, that is new info worth looking. Good thing it's not censored like the OP claims to say.

Some thoughts:

The democratic legislative agenda, and more broadly, the issues facing this country such as a pandemic, job uncertainty, healthcare and infrastructure should be a lot more important than the family drama of the Bidens. Republicans don't have any solutions to income inequality, healthcare access, homelessness or climate. Instead of coming up with a competing idea to the Democratic agenda, the Republicans only stand against ideas, rather than for any.

And, to appease your sensibilities: I would totally support a bill that banned family members of federally elected or appointed officials from serving on the boards of foreign companies.
Maybe admissions managers have divided the applications amongst themselves for initial validation check and those admissions managers are then probably asking the applicants to post updates, if any.

I do not see a reason why they won't be allowed to send mass communication and since its divided amongst them, each one of them might be sending out these emails to a lot lesser numbers.

When “we” (people who write code) fuck up, things like this can and have happened:

- people die of radiation poisoning (Therac 25)

- cars crash (Toyota unintended acceleration, Tesla autopilot fails)

- rockets explode (Ariane 5)

- hundreds of millions of dollars are lost (Knight Capital)

- the financial information of millions is exposed (Equifax)
I think this is on point. We once had an issue with open street maps, that caused our routing system to not be capable of directing citizens and employees to the second biggest municipality in our country because a one way street had the wrong direction marked in OSM by mistake.

This had a huge impact on us. With thousands of employees and citizens calling our IT support staff of 5 people every day.

When I used our OSM official “City off X” account to fix it, I was an utter idiot and submitted both a real life picture I took myself as well as a Google maps and a krak maps (Danish map service) screenshots. I didn’t know this wasn’t legal, because I was an idiot, but it resulted in our fix getting reversed and a week long discussion with the OSM community members about fixing the damn street.

We made the street one way. But we couldn’t fix it in an OSS map service because the community wouldn’t let us because we made a stupid mistake.

We’ve now switched our services to Krak. But I can promise you that if we had, had the admin power to force our chance through during those days, we wouldn’t have given any regards to the OSS community.

If an popular tool wasn’t working within the .Net framework CLA I imagine the process would be somewhat similar inside Microsoft.

It’s just one of those things where the OSS community processes and Enterprise process of “get this fixed right now, at any cost by any means, ignoring every standard we may have, just get it fixed, now. Then make sure it never happens again.” that happens every now and then when the beast awakens, clashes. I’m not sure how you can avoid it, as Enterprise will never want to comply with OSS processes when it’s in a hurry.

I stumbled across this and thought it was pretty great, hopefully a useful reference for others :)
At the time (2000) BeOS was the only interesting enough operating system that I spent days or weeks to pirate over a slow phone connection because it wasn't available to purchase in my country. Even if I used a download manager, the code was corrupted somehow and installing crashed after I tried to boot from the CD. CRC was wrong. I had to retry a few times. Phone bill was crazy and I had to justify it to my parents. But it was worth it, I enjoyed BeOS more than any other OS at the time. Windows, Linux, SkyOs, AtheOS/Syllable.
On the contrary, it takes zero knowledge or experience to say "hurr durr use the right tool for the job"; anyone who has real knowledge and experience should have actual views on which things are good and bad overall.
That sounds like a recipe for ensuring today-small, potentially future major channels never talk about climate change
That requirement is never going away, and Apple is never the only company involved in doing that kind of stuff.

Therefore, that argument really has no bearing on this discussion.

Whether Apple should try harder to stand up to these repressive governments is a good discussion to have, but it’s not the one we’re having right now,
What if the program is a hundred million floating-point values, produced by learning?

Can you look at them in small chunks to understand what they are contributing to the result?

It looks like there is such a thing as complexity that is not functionally decomposable.
Well, "crate challenge" videos demonstably lead to deaths as well.
Nice try, Satoshi...
`gh`is great for handling pull requests and other GitHub specifics. I still use `git` for everything else, so I dunno how much it does, but it makes sense if `gh` overlaps with some `git` commands to round out the tool.
Did you recently update your OS? I had to disable font smoothing on my Mac to avoid blurry text.

I've lived in Kansas City, DC, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Austin.

Is Austin cheaper than San Francisco? Yes.

Would I classify Austin as "affordable"?

I would have two years ago, when my wife and I were first looking to move here. That was the whole reason we began the process.

But, it's gotten insane.

We were going to wait a year, after renting, before we bought. Prices here were rising, we bought within six months so we wouldn't get priced out of our neighborhood.

On my street, I have neighbors who bought literally a year before me, who live in basically the same home (1970s subdivision so all the houses are basically templates) that paid 40% less than we did.

My neighbors could not afford to buy their current homes at the prices they're currently selling for. They cannot afford to buy similar homes in similar neighborhoods.

This is only going to get worse.
I remember when I first released the WiX Toolset publicly to SourceForge. I was up all night getting CVS prepped and writing my blog entry to announce it.

But this issue now really isn't about the source control hosting provider. It isn't even about Microsoft. It's about my relationship with the .NET Foundation who (now) holds the copyright of the project I released on SourceForge over 17 years ago.

GitHub actually had the tools I needed to move the project back. Not much more I could have asked for, honestly.
In that case, another poster already explained why this comparison makes no sense. Vaccination needs to be compared with the lack of vaccination, not with driving, getting out of bed or sky diving.

Yes, life has its risks and that's why it's smart to look at the data before you make each individual decisions.

Practical Markup Language (PML) – markup on steroids
Did a manual unfollow few years ago. Has been great experience since then - no facebook addiction anymore, instantly!

For anyone wondering didn't I delete it altogether - I find facebook very useful once I can control how I use it. I can still organize event there, visit pages I want. Some restaurants only have facebook page, etc.

Once there is no addiction anymore, it's kinda like having a superpower. You control the tool, not the other way round.

But 30% doesn’t exist anymore, except for the top 1%of earners on the platform.

Most sellers on the App Store are now paying 15%, if anything at all. Most apps I’ve seen are using ads to bypass paying anything to Apple. Some of them support IAP to remove ads. But that’s just an option.
The actual businesses generally don't. It's funny how RDBMS fans always say "businesses x, y and z were built on MySQL" and forget to mention that they were actually using MyISAM-based versions of MySQL that had no ACID and barely any referential integrity constraints. Most of the "mongodb is web scale" crowd is coming from the same ideology as the people who were hating on MySQL 10 years ago.
I get the same thing with any form of biological 'inside', but outsides I"m usually fine with. Hand drawn depiction of how nasal cavities work? Eugh, dizziness and instant relation to my own gaping head.

Bug shots, bug squishing, blood in movies? Squished brain etc.? All good to most degrees.

I pass out during 2D animation demonstrations on how bodies work.

I pass out during nasal allergy tests. I can't imagine how I'll go with a covid test.... pass out most likely.
IMHO for startups, productivity and development speed usually beats performance and enterprisy-ness (looking at you, Spring).

F# dominates C# there, but Django, FastAPI, various other options for Node or other languages, are simply easier to learn and faster to iterate. You can change/reload a Django app several times before the C# compiler finds a problem with your static types in a bigger codebase...

And to me it seems like you can acquire technical debt in C# just as fast as with any other language. Maybe faster because it is harder to learn and less "obvious" with all the DI magic. Of course, if you are proficient in C# and its ecosystem, you can write some damn fine software in it. If so, I wish you the best of luck finding affordable coworkers who can do the same.
Thanks. I used Unity3d, Visual Studio, C# language, Inkscape and Gimp.
Cloudflare is founded by lawyers. So yes, I guess they have the best lawyers in business and it should be hell to fight them in court.
