Ok, well, that isn’t even close – I offered a link to my own public repository for other people if they wanted to bring their binaries up to .47. It wasn’t a PR. The current version of tes3mp has bugs that make the game unplayable and is way long in the tooth - 3 years since a release.

But anyway - not interested in drama. My branch is up to speed, many bugs fixed and we're having a blast.

Peace and I wish you well with your tes3mp efforts.
So do you tell your exchange the identity of everyone you send bitcoins to and receive bitcoins from? If not you are committing a crime and can face huge fines and jail time, since your exchange don't know who the user is of every bitcoin wallet. And if you do tell them that then I don't see the point of bitcoins, as then it becomes even more centralized and controlled than bank transactions, and you can still face fines and jail time if they think you gave them the wrong information about the person you sent stuff to.
It is sad that justice won't touch those who lied and caused so much sorrow in the world.
I read that hiding the notch with a black bar is actually a built-in feature they just briefly brushed on in the keynote.
The article seems to be wrong, though, and is strongly colored by the author's views about her own discipline. Many STEM fields have amassed a large body of knowledge, and there has been a qualitative shift in the 20th Century that needs to be taken into account. Philosophical criticisms tend to be narrowly focused on the fact that theories are superseded, forgetting that many of those older theories constitute a vast body of knowledge and continue to do so. Newtonian mechanics is a typical example. It's not wrong at all, just more limited than previously thought (not suitable for very small or very fast "objects").

With all the fancy criticisms and reminders that science is about the method, being skeptical, etc., people sometimes forget that the results of scientific progress are often tangible and there has been an undeniable increase in knowledge which has accelerated during past century. It's ironic to hear from people how science is not about knowledge while relying in daily life on phones, airplanes, nuclear power, new types of batteries, new construction materials, satelites, minimal invasive surgery, and so on and so forth.
So being aware of shitty practices somehow makes it okay?
> and, bc of that, has had 0 search warrants

That's an abductive argument, which means it is one plausible explanation, but given the many possible explanations, it is not certain that the lack of search history is why they've had 0 search warrants.

The M1 Air is the best laptop for the average casual laptop user (school, emails, photos, etc). The battery life alone makes it a huge upgrade over any Windows machine. I also love that it doesn't have any fans, side that's usually the first thing to go on any laptop. I expect to get years and years of good use out of the Air.

DAI is mostly collateralized by USDC so there is a lot of overlap in the risk exposure of the two assets.
I think if you don't have the time to learn enough about a language like Haskell to understand how monads work in that language then you are probably better off just not trying to understand them. It is impossible to understand them without having examples.
I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Band fitness tracker along with the app Gadgetbridge (to replace the official Xiaomi app and stop exfil to Chinese servers) and another app called Snoreclock which measures sleep quality. It's not the fanciest setup but perhaps an alternative solution to your situation.
I don't understand your argument. Could you please explain it?
Yup. Once I saw the 24" iMac I knew the 27" had had it's chips. 30" won't actually be much bigger than the 27" if the bezels shrink to almost nothing - which seems to be the trend.
Reliability isn't as good for me as the 2015 MacBook Pro. My 2019 16" doesn't register presses that are near the edge of the keys like the 2015 model did. Perhaps it's related to the travel distance. It is my biggest issue with the 16".

It looks like an interesting idea, but my level of biology is not good enough to be sure. There are many things that look like good ideas on paper, but have no clinical effect. For example, as you say Remdesivir is not useful against covid-19, IIRC.

I remember a few clinical studies of the use of fluvoxamine against covid-19, so it's possible to study these drugs. For example see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28220574 (I'm not convinced, in particular because they use the number of hospitalizations instead of the number of death.)

GP's point is that although chargers are labeled with wattage, they can't output any combination of volts and currents as long as they multiply to the stated wattage. Can you take a normal 100W charger and ask it to output 100V and 1A? It can't.

The Apple 29W charger supports two configurations only: 14.5V × 2A, or 5.2V × 2.4A

The Apple 30W charger supports these four instead: 20V × 1.5A, 15V × 2A, 9V × 3A, 5V × 3A

Do you see a problem here?
Prediction for Mac Pros and iMac Pros: several SoCs on the mainboard, interconnected with a new bus, 16 CPU cores for each SoC, 4 SoCs max. The on SoC RAM will act as a L4 Cache and they will share normal, User replaceable DDR5 RAM for „unified“ access.
Seconded. My brother got into frontend dev (JS mainly) so sometimes I probe him for what's being used. Each time I do this there's a new thing. And the JS tooling? my fucking god, how I despise it. The opaqueness of it all, the mountains of boilerplate code and files I need to download to do things "by the book". Whenever I dip my toes there I always long for the simplicity of my backend PHP setup and almost always try to ditch what's cool and new and do things as vanilla as possible.

Or maybe I'm just getting fucking old & grumpy ;)

It is a gimmick. There are laptops with slim bezels, HD cameras and no notch whatsoever. If it was a tradeoff, they would've made it smaller. It's a branding effort. Remember, they're referring to the notch as iconic.
I’ve been looking into trying CrossOver Mac on my M1 Max for exactly this reason. After seeing the kinds of GPUs Apple is comparing themselves to, I’m very hopeful.
I feel like truth is the limit (in a calculus sense) of science. We can never get there. Sometimes we're close, and sometimes we're far away. Science allows us to approximate "truth" better and better, putting bounds on it.

To take it a religious way, science is the lantern in this story from babylon 5 https://youtu.be/JjnpTcvGvts .
Yes and power negotiation does not protect against improper voltage whatsoever. This wasn't my point, despite me addressing negotiation in another comment.
The problem is that the “live programming” aspect violates a fundamental assumption of a lot of static type systems: the “closed world” assumption that all the relevant types are known at compile-time. If you can dynamically extend/redefine the types on the fly, your type-system guarantees start getting weaker anyways. Instead, you need a system of contracts or something like Racket has.

Also, if you have macros, you can always just embed a Haskell into your language for the parts where you want that sort of guarantee: https://coalton-lang.github.io/
There's also future-proofing to some degree. I'll probably get a somewhat more loaded laptop than I "need" (though nowhere near $6K) because I'll end up kicking myself if 4 years from now I'm running up against some limit I underspeced.

I feel you. (Un)fortunately for me CQ is important enough because OpenSCAD and similar are not CADs... they are just simple generators without an ability to reference, use already drawn things.
Whereas CadQuery has the main feature which is missing from OpenSCAD directly in its name: "Query".

I'm actively working on bringing CadQuery and all its dependencies to Nix because *Conda is an abomination of highest order.

Moreover the pywrap and OCP which are CadQuery's dependencies are even much worse. They are like galleries of every DevOps anti-pattern ever invented. The more you dive into them the more horrible it gets.

CQ is actually nice though.
> This whole thing seems like flamebait rather than a sincere attempt at curious discussion.

It's supposed to be lighthearted, though I suppose the downvoters I refer to as "Dark Helmets" won't appreciate the reference. I personally am judicious in my downvotes, while the Dark Helmets seem to vote down anything they don't agree with.

Besides COVID-19, there's a lot of group-think on other science topics that might not be right. We're human, it's what we do.

> Why do you care so much about your HN downvotes?

The 1% rule is such that only a small percentage of a forum's users comment [0]. I myself tend to comment only if I'm relatively early AND I have something unique to say that probably couldn't be said by someone else.

If I cared about downvotes I wouldn't post comments that I believed were likely/certain to elicit downvotes.

AFAIK, there's no way to tell if your downvoted comment was appreciated by some. I posted against another variant of science-faith recently, where I told one of my most favorite taxi driver stories that was highly relevant. I watched that comment's score carefully, and noticed it oscillating up and down. That comment finally ended up with a negative score. I wouldn't have noticed the oscillations if I'd only come back to look at the final score ~48 hours later.

> Why did a few downvotes turn into this screed?

This wasn't my first downvoted comment that challenged the conventional wisdom. I think there are plenty who agree, they just don't comment here.

> Isn't there a better venue for this, or maybe just someone in real life you can vent to?

Another purpose of this poll is to get people to consider whether it's actually settled science that oxygen is highly toxic when used in excess, that ventilation has been studied for pnemonia and found to not help, and that there's a simple antidote for oxygen toxicity that would completely change how 100% of the severe COVID-19 patients are treated, if only Medicine™ hadn't forgotten.
There's two possible cases:

1. multiple creators assign their works to one LLC. This would probably avoid the piercing the corporate veil problem, but it would be a pretty juicy target for litigators. If they successfully win the lawsuit, they can potentially seize all works that were assigned to it, and take them down or resell them. If this happens to a video you spent weeks working on, I think I'll be pretty pissed.

2. each video/creator assign their works to one LLC. This would avoid the "juicy target" issue described above, but you'll have to be super careful to avoid piercing the corporate veil .

I don't know if they still do, but Vimeo actively rejected lots of content that they felt didn't fit the goal of their platform. IMO If it wasn't basically art, they didn't want it. Most of the stuff I watch on Youtube wouldn't be allowed there.

Under that direction, of course they'd have fewer content creators and viewers, and they obviously wanted it that way.
Probably can be fixed in software by filling the areas on the sides of the notch with black and moving the menu bar below the notch. Since this is a mini-LED display, the black is supposed to be pitch-black.

Why?

Is it because you disagree with the political leanings of the CEO?

Is it because you don't think that corporations should express political biases?

If so, do you maintain a list of companies that you won't do business with based on corporate donations?

Is it because you disagree with a founder or CEO using the platform that their company provides them to amplify their voice?

Your comment is a condemnation of the action of the CEO without any specific concern raised about the action taken, and leaves one to conclude that you are a Trump supporter. That is also fine - the whole point of democracy is to allow people to choose who they vote for.

Nim is a little bit more straightforward for writing application code, by dint of simply having more features to throw around. Both languages can be pretty darn fast, enough that I would not rate it as a factor for most applications, including rendering side projects - the speed difference we are talking about really has to do with how detailed your resource allocation methods are, and if you want that form of speed you have to invest time researching memory access patterns for your use case to get beyond educated guessing. So you would have to turn your voxel engine into full-time work to get to the point where it has both usefully broad functionality and top-end performance.

Expect some maturity/stability issues with either one. Zig is much earlier in its lifecycle and I have seen showstoppers, but it's also been moving faster. Nim has struggled in the past with stabilizing its high-concept features - use it mostly like C and it's fine.

Zig's biggest appeal is in how close it is to a fully bootstrapping environment - low level, clearly defined control over all resources is just what you want if you are writing a kernel.

Consider that as more and more materials come online and smaller hand held platforms (tablets, phones) serve as convenient references, people print less and less. If printing is a commonplace occurrence, people would rarely run into the ink/scan tie. As they print less, they run into it more.

You can also assume that print companies have been concerned about a decline in print relevance and the impact it would have on their business. So putting in place these kinds of policies may have been a response to this.

I agree it's redundant if the type name occurs twice in the same statement. However, further evolution of the code often causes the instantiation to be moved elsewhere, and I wouldn't have confidence that the one doing that change then also changes `var` back to the type name. Instead, it would be nice to have syntax avoiding the duplication in the fashion of `FooBarBazThingyWithALongName thingy = new(...constructor parameters...);`.
Can you be more specific and list out why 'Python the language is so much better than PHP'?
It's not meaningless because the behavior itself didn't change, only the scale. You can have one business that never changes their business strategy, but once they get too big suddenly they are anticompetitive without having actually changed their behavior.

This either says that either one believes behavior itself can never be anti-competitive (since it relies on scale as input), or that one must always take into account scale in the discussion. In which case, a lot of anticompetitive discussions need to add in a lot more qualifying context.
