That is a very realy situation for most people.

A hearing aid - AIDS you in hearing, but your brain does the processing and speech comprehension.

if you start wearing a hearing aid now you will just get lazier with your "hearing".
Just like if your knees are sore, and you get a knee brace - when you should have done exercises to improve your muscles supporting your knee - the brace will do more harm than good.
Where I live such waste is collected separately (small chemical waste), you get a little box for it and you can drop it off for free at the local garbage disposal/sorting facility.
Yes there are but they are rare. I found a 4-port[3.1] USB-C Hub in Amazon for $70 USD.
This UI style reminds me of the jitterbug phone UI.
I really have no idea what you're talking about or what committee you're referring to. KDE can develop its own Wayland extensions and already has a lot of them. They don't need GNOME's approval. I believe they are housed in this git repository. https://invent.kde.org/libraries/plasma-wayland-protocols

Once they become stabilized and if other desktops took an interest, then they could be proposed as standard. But KDE does not need to wait for GNOME to implement a feature in Wayland, or vice versa. If you could mention which KDE developer you were talking to then maybe we could help them get this implemented in KDE first? Then afterwards if they can offer some tips to offer GTK (or other toolkits) on how to implement this, that would be valuable to everyone.
The LC (Labor Certification) process that's being described is a requirement to sponsor an employment-based immigrant visa; what most people call a Green Card. It is not, generally, a requirement for non-immigrant visas like the H-1B.

For most people coming from abroad, they're either being hired initially on an H-1B and then - usually after their time on that visa is up - their employer might sponsor them for the immigrant visa.

Others come via the intracompany transferee visa, the L-1. In certain categories, e.g. L-1A, for executives/managers, that visa allows an application for an immigrant visa without the LC process.
> The more ways there are to write in a language, the harder it gets to read the code of someone else using a different style guide, or with different preferences, than you. This matters a whole lot in a language so completely dependent on 3rd party libraries as JS is.

Hmmm, kinda.

The pipe operator enables more readable code, so whilst I agree there would be more ways to do things, the average code readability could well go up.
The law specifies they have to give you the paper prescription (for no extra charge beyond the cost of the exam) even if you don’t ask for it. There’s no getting around it. Either they give you the prescription after your exam or they’re not compliant with the law. Consumer ignorance or apathy isn’t a valid defense.

This is another rabbit hole: using EMF to dissociate H&O in saltwater, making it appear to burn. Like, electrode less electrolysis—but damn cool that radio waves can do this!

In a word, slowly. You may reasonably assume that particle physicists are familiar with relativistic time dilation, and how to adjust for it if that were needed.

That is not a universally reasonable assumption. Cosmologists apparently never really tried adjusting their expectations for galaxy rotation for general relativity. When a plasma fluid dynamicist facile with the maths looked, the rotation anomaly evaporated. (Cosmologists were assiduously ignoring this, last I checked.) GR maths are considered hard, except by plasma fluid dynamicists, who have to do actually hard maths just to graduate.
Supercooled water shows this kind of reaction with normal ice.
I actually vehemently disagree and will fight to allow people to break the rules. I love that gray areas exist. Gray areas are where art and ingenuity is born. Gray areas allow me to break the rules at work to push improvements. Gray areas are what I use to show people how things can be better.

Hmm, this sounds so appealing, yet I think it's terribly confused. I think you're confusing the "gray area" between what people and rules say and what people do, with "areas of slack". Slack areas are where people can take initiative to do what they want (following the rules or not). Gray areas can be that sometimes, were more like that in the past, but today, gray areas are often areas of over-determination - the rules are contradictory, you could be punished or suffer for violating any of them and you have to carefully calculate which violation will let you survive. There's no joy in that kind of shit. And, as mentioned by other posters, breaking some rules can kill people.
I don't mean to be rude to the author, but I found this style of writing difficult to read. Too verbose, too full of asides, to focused on himself and not the actual information. Makes getting useful information out of the text needlessly difficult.

Game Programming Patterns from Robert Nystrom covered a lot of ground for me.
It's hard for me to recall how I learned because my first "game" I wrote was in '89 and I wasn't very old at the time.

Maybe check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee3EtYb8d1o -- I've watched a fair bit of it and many folks agree it's thorough and interesting. If you don't know C already he has a decent introduction as well.

Maybe not the best place to learn C but it suits well enough for game development projects.

The nice thing I find with C is that bringing life back to older machines is definitely possible -- the homebrew scene for various old consoles is very much alive and well and there's probably a C compiler that targets it.

So at first you need a way to have the compositor notify the application which dpis it should render at (because it’d be multiple).

And then you’d need a way for applications to tag each buffer it renders with the DPI it’s rendered at, so the compositor can show the right buffer natively on the right screen.

For performance improvements, it even makes sense to provide a clip mask telling which part of the window each DPI should be rendered for.

Now, that’s complicated, but doable. I did it.

What’s more complicated is handling situations where compositors don’t support this, or only support parts of it.

That whole backwards compatibility part is more work than getting the whole feature built and shipped, and it’s entirely unnecessary.
Or they will, depending on reviewer, photo clarity, current political climate, potentially location and so on. You have no say in this process, nor anybody else on this forum, or elsewhere.

Its not the law enforcement that's the main issue, but various greedy 3-letter agencies who are already well known to have ambition to have profile on every person in this world (not unlike Facebook but for different purposes).

This is not privacy anymore no matter how you bend it, it has been cancelled and Apple realizes this very well. And it still doesn't care. Literally the only serious selling point for many new buyers not invested in ecosystems, blowing it off with a nice double barreled shotgun shot.
This is at worst a lateral move — you need something installed that handles your test invocation for you. It could be `make`, `tox`, `nox`, `poetry` or whatever.

For a number of reasons (detailed in the article), that thing shouldn't be `setuptools`. Even if the setuptools maintainers wanted to continue supporting this use case, setuptools is uniquely unsuited to working with this, because of the way its hooks don't fire until all its dependencies have been imported already. With `tox` you just need to make sure you have `tox` installed, and you can even specify a minimum version in the `tox.ini` file.

Additionally, tox doesn't need to be installed in your Python environment (in fact, it's an implementation detail that it's Python at all — if it were instead a Go executable, it would work the same). You just need the tool available to be invoked. This means you can install it with pipx, in its own virtual environment, through your system package manager, whatever is most convenient for you.
I'm interested in pixel devices since they are supported by GrapheneOS. Is there any concern of hardware spying by google even if using an alternative secure OS without google services and applications?

The tech in the hearing aids is cheap.

it is the fitting and follow up where the money you spend should be going. -- that and repairs and regular maintenance.
My problem with USB-C is its too dainty. Since it became the defacto charger interface for laptops I can't tell you how many chargers and laptops we've had to either replace or get repaired under warranty because the physical connector isn't up to the task.

USB-C seems to be fine perfectly straight on with no strain at all but use it in anything less than ideal situations and it wears out surprisingly fast. The connectors tend to be longer than they are wide, which is always bad for robustness and they have 0 built in strain relief.

I think it performs well and they got the reversible design right but its just a little too wimply for the way people really use their devices.

It's also most useful when you only have one or two pieces of luggage. When travel was often longer, people took more luggage with them. Faster (air) travel and shorter trips (or better access to reliable laundry services on longer trips) reduces the need to carry multiple large pieces of luggage.

If you're carrying multiple large pieces of luggage, wheels are, at best, unused, and at worse a nuisance (they stick out and make stacking harder). Retractable wheels would be even more of a nuisance as they reduce the carrying capacity of the luggage.

It's also worth noting trends in how people dressed. Even in the 1960s my great-grandfather was wearing a suit to work. He worked in a mechanics shop as a mechanic. That's what people wore to work, now consider what they wore on trips. It was going to be at least as nice as that, and not the sweatpants and yoga pants that you see today. This greatly increases the amount of things (by bulk or quantity) that you need to carry.
> would not make any significant difference in the chance that a student would have

So a third is not statistically important?

> I don't follow the distinction between market as external environment and college admissions as internal environment. Could you elaborate?

It's a very simple point: fund managers claim to have mastery over a vast, complex external environment. Interview and test prep courses, like any sort of pedagogy, claim to teach and coach candidates towards self-improvement. The latter is self-evidently simply more achievable than the former. And even if you were to claim that SAT prep schools make no substantiative improvement for students, what makes interview prep most analogous to those, as opposed to other forms of tutoring, or even personal fitness training, which do yield greater benefits?

I'm just saying it's a lot easier to teach someone how to be better at something than to beat the market. They are completely different endeavors.
Every Samsung S Series phone has Samsung Dex which allows you to connect your phone to a TV or monitor via HDMI and have a full desktop OS experience. It's pretty great and they've been offering it for years now. You can also connect iPhones to TVs and monitors with the Apple A/V adapter.

If google wants to make phones people buy, they should at least match their competitors features.
No one is talking about "innovation" with a straight face in regard to these features returning. It's just snark from detractors.

I admire him for his honesty and not letting greed and ambition get in the way of being a decent person.
You are right about that, and I probably should've mentioned it in my comment. But I feel it's a niche case for these reasons:

1) The benefit only applies to profits above "a reasonable salary". You need to determine and potentially later defend what you chose as a "reasonable salary".

2) Once you have over ~150K income (including your day job's salary and LLC profit), social security taxes phase out so most of the benefit is gone (just the medicare portion remains), unless you have a HUGE LLC profit.

3) There's overhead in filing taxes on an s-corp.

All this probably makes sense if you have >$100K LLC profits and no other big income source, or maybe if you have >$500K LLC profits regardless. You'll def want an accountant. Companies like Collective.com exist to make it easier to go the s-corp route if you choose to go that way. But it is complicated for some minor savings.
This isn't a direct response per se, but your comments made me think of some relevant background.

Apple has been deeply involved with ARM almost since the beginning. Allegedly, the acronym "ARM" was changed from "Acorn RISC Machine" to "Advanced RISC Machine" at the behest of Apple, and their engineers seem to have been involved soon after the first ARM chip was created for internal use in Acorn's computers, making modifications to the chip and ISA to make it suitable for the Newton, their combined efforts creating the first commercially released ARM chip, the ARM6.

More recently, Apple has done a lot of work with LLVM. They weren't the original authors, but they've effectively created a lot of their own tooling.

All this to say, while they did license ARM, and they did start with someone else's tooling, they were so deeply involved in the origin/growth of both I think you may be underselling their involvement/work. If they didn't already have such deep historical ties to ARM, I suspect they would have seriously considered making their own architecture.
Step0: change laws everywhere.
It has always seemed broken to me that hearing aids were not covered by healthcare, nor was there some sort of VSP like plan for hearing aids. I've worked with folks who had hearing aids from childhood and it is a big expense to bear while their glasses are subsidized.

Of course, the vision folks turned it into a racket for extracting cash. So ideally we'd want to avoid that and perhaps fix the vision racket while we are at it.
why not?

also, what is weird anywho?
I agree and would love to have everything usb-c. But I’m skeptical that will happen, for one practical thing. Apparently not every usb-c cable is created equal and not every usb-c port is created equal either. (Remember that Nintendo device with an usb-c port that turned out not to comply to the spec?)

If every cable looks the same but one is suited for 240W of juice but doesn’t do data and the other vice versa, maybe we would be worse off…
> annual checkup

We're supposed to go EVERY YEAR?
Similar frustration – I need a prescription to buy contact lenses every year. So I have to go get an annual eye checkup, which is still fine because it is preventive care and (mostly) covered by insurance. However, optometrists around me refuse to give a prescription for contact lenses without an additional $70 "contact lens fitting" fee which is not covered by insurance. The whole thing is a scam.
Wage increases and inflation are not zero-sum. For anyone who believes businesses pass total savings from low wages on to the consumer, I have a bridge to sell you.
Wow, I'm so sorry you have to put up with that. My non-US experience: I logged in to a website, clicked a couple of buttons, and the doctor sent a repeat prescription to the pharmacy yesterday. I expect it to be ready to pick up later today. Done.
Because they are making theater to justify their cost.
I don't really pay attention to smart phone specs (I stick to cheapo android phones), but holy cow - 12GB of ram in a phone? Better than my work computer and my personal laptop. Kinda neat to see. Aside from it being neat, I sure hope to god I'd never need that much ram for what I use a phone for.
GrapheneOS is pretty clear about not supporting devices longer than the OEM.

From their FAQ:

Why are older devices no longer supported?

GrapheneOS aims to provide reasonably private and secure devices. It cannot do that once device support code like firmware, kernel and vendor code is no longer actively maintained. Even if the community was prepared to take over maintenance of the open source code and to replace the rest, firmware would present a major issue
At least in this case, breaking the rules kills a lot of people - IIRC out of all the truck-caused fatalities, more than 1000 deaths/year in USA can be directly attributed to drowsy driving.

Sleep-deprived truckers should not be a thing, it has pretty much the same effects as driving drunk, but much more common so causes more crashes and more deaths. Breaching the rules for that should have as much tolerance as those intentionally driving drunk and endangering others that way.
Getting to start over is the scret sauce, no doubt!

It also helps if the language idiomatically nudges you in the right direction.

Indirection tends to be minimized in Go, similar to C, and encourages solving your immediate problem.

Comparatively, Java and C++ encourages you to design/grab for reuse first, opting for flexibility.

IME Java devs will write idiomatic OOP in this style, just like Lispers will fiddle with macros. For us, picking Go helped signal that we wanted people who wrote procedural, direct-first code.
Eye exams are not easy or one size fits all. The machine does objective refraction, which is a different and more error prone method than subjective refraction. Also for multifocals you'll need a more tailored prescription. There's definitely progress in autorefractors though!

Or alternatively, make the H1B process an auction instead of a lottery to guarantee the visas actually go to positions at companies that need them enough to pay top dollar.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this something people could do on their own at home if the hardware had a decent setup UX / tuning instructions? This doesn’t necessarily seem like something that couldn’t be done pretty automatically.
Fair enough. That you for expanding the conversation.
Super interesting. Instead of going whole-hog, could we add some kind of hinting system to existing text-based systems that would make structural changes known to the VCS? Maybe also make it clear what's a comment or other insignificant change so that the important changes can be tracked separately?
In my experience you can't really tell open source developers what to do, you can give suggestions, but if they don't agree with you then the most effective way to get your point across would be to write the code yourself. Also, if you want someone to listen to what you have to say, I would recommend against calling them idiots and other insults.
Btw, I just came across this: https://www.engadget.com/google-assistant-call-hold-18123642...
I'm aware of Google's scanning. I'm even inclined to support them doing that.

What I like about the standard Google Photos/Dropbox/OneDrive approach is that it's no secret you upload your photos to their computers, where they process them. They process them for useful features, and they process them to catch child abuse. But I understand clearly I upload it from my device to another device, and that other device can process these photos. I'm not a Google Photos customer mind you (as stated, I prefer other services than Google's), but I understand the premise, value add and what they do with my stuff on their computers. It’s not my device incriminating me, it’s someone else’s device that does that, someone else’s device I chose to send my things to. I understand that relationship.

I will not accept a relationship with a device I own, situated on my desk or in my pocket, where it try to start a process to incriminate me. That's not processing a personal device should be engaging in, even if this starts out gated behind the heavily pushed iCloud Photos (it’s technically opt in), even if the solution is technically sophisticated (it is), and even if there exist definitions of "privacy friendly" where this approach is more privacy friendly (you can argue that all day long). I just don't want a personal device to do this. If Apple wants to draw the line somewhere else than I want to draw it, that means I probably should not support that.
