Ever seen those used in an office setting? I have, and it was hilarious. Everyone swore at their laptops for two or three days, and then they all scrambled for mice. No screens were touched afterwards.

It looks cute in ads but truth is spending eight hours a day poking at your screen all the time just makes your hands sore, and after an hour or so, you spend half that time poking at the Undo button because you poked somewhere else than you meant by mistake.

It's just a wet dream of executives who never bothered to ask their underlings how they do their puny underling work. Wherever touch screens provided considerable advantages -- e.g. in touch-operated software for medical, imaging, CNC, SCADA industries -- they've already displaced non-touch devices since the 1990s. Everywhere else, suits have been singing dirges and whining about the post-PC era for ten years now and yet lo, walk into any open-space office, and you'll find nothing but rows and rows of 24" LCDs hooked to laptops with pristine screens.

You're manipulative with words ... "bad" contributions is something that's not a part of this discussion and buying a property to rent is not a bad contribution only for people with contradicting also selfish interests (I want to buy myself a house cheaply) ... maybe that's why you see "no need in going into deep philosophical discussions". Human rights is a nice buzzword used very loosely and it tends to mean whatever the user considers useful to themself at that moment, I recommend reading some fundamental bills and know what's in it.
From the top of my mind, on standby, Lubuntu uses 500M of RAM, Xubuntu (XFCE) around 750M and Ubuntu (Gnome) 1G.
Trojan Source Attacks: Invisible Source Code Attacks
Both are important. A good CMDB is key in finding your documentation that points you at the configuration management used for the actual system.

Let me tell you, just a wiki with a search is not enough beyond a certain size, and you hit that faster than you'd think.
No, a vector is defined as an object that has certain properties, like addition and scalar multiplication. It's a very general, and abstract concept.

There are vector spaces of functions, with infinite dimension, but there are also vector spaces with a finite number of elements.

So only some vectors can even be written as 1xN matrices, if that is what you're referring to. But even if you write a vector that way, it doesn't mean it IS a matrix or that it automatically "has" multiplication.

In mathematics, an object only has an operation if it's part of the definition, and as such, vectors don't "have" multiplication.
> The buffer will not be possible to adjust to properly handle both monitors because 1 is 300 DPI and 1 is 70 DPI.

The word "properly" here is quite subjective, though. I have a similar setup, combining monitors of different pixel sizes.
It works properly with Xorg: When I move a window of size WxH pixels from one monitor to another, it remains a window of WxH pixels. A thin line of one pixel width remains so. A checkerboard pattern that tingles the monitor refresh rate remains so. This sounds like perfectly appropriate behavior, and anything else would be ridiculously inappropriate. I accept that this usage of "appropriateness" is subjective to a subset of people that includes me, but it may not be universal.

Whatever, this is such a thin point for Wayland: hey, you lose copy-paste, screenshots, xdotool and most of the apps you used before. But hey! you can combine monitors of different pixel size as if they had the same pixel size! See, the thing transparently re-scales your windows using cheap-ass bilinear interpolation so that they get the exact same size in millimeters! Fancy, isn't it?

No. It's creepy.
Right I suspected so, thanks for debunking
> With a shell script, you have to implement manual checks for everything you run such that if you re-run a script on a system where it's already been run once, you won't accidentally break things by applying some things twice

Using tools like grep + basic logic like || and && goes a long way...

I'm not saying there is no place for ansible, but in my personal experience, it's a very small one.

> Ansible is also mostly useful once you already have a server up and running but with 0 configuration; it's pretty bad at actually installing new servers, and I'd recommend using better tools for that part (Terraform, kickstart, or maybe just a script that clones an image).

Agreed!

More recently, I've found zfs clones of base installs surprisingly flexible.

Now I only with there was a way to do some kind of merge or reconciliation of zfs snapshots from a common ancestor that haven't diverged much in practice, spawning the differences into separate datasets per subdirectory (ex: if /a/ hasn't changed but only /a/b/c/d1 and /a/b/c/d2 differs, move d1 and d2 off to create a separate d dataset mounted in /a/b/c/ so you can keep the common parts identical )

The bigger picture: Clojure was designed with no backwar(d/t)s compatibility.

https://clojure.org/about/rationale#_lisp_is_a_good_thing

> Clojure is a Lisp not constrained by backwards compatibility

Which means that basically no (!) Lisp software from the past ran in Clojure and trying to make it results in a re-implementation and re-architecture of that software.

There is Loom[1] (part of the Tokio project) for exhaustively testing multithreaded code. Though as far as I can tell it is designed for debugging threads, not async tasks.

Not the GP but while it’s fully automated it is worth mentioning that there are still some - minimal - staff.

“ He said it used to take about 60 workers to unload a cargo ship, but the automatic port requires only nine.
What's more, the upgrade has essentially changed it from a blue collar task into a white collar one. Workers used to operate the machines in sky-high cranes, but now much of the work has been left to a computer in the office.”
Designing and branding is not all the hard work. It is just the sexy, cool work. It is the work of engineers and creatives, which is valued because it is associated with cultural capital here.

Meanwhile, Behringer is good at supply chain management and vertical integration, and that is uncool, unsexy work. It is not valued because it is the domain of MBAs, and MBAs are not cool.

This kind of judgment about what is cool and not cool is not my scene. These analog modules are so damn cookie-cutter to begin with. I don’t care if you invented them, or if you got them out of a cookbook, or if you just bought an IC. (You might have bought that IC from Behringer, though! Who else makes BBDs?) I mostly care about making music, and the idea that people should spend $700 on a DFAM instead of, like, $220 for a Behringer Edge just seems cartoonish at face value.

Incidentally, the $480 price difference between the Behringer Edge and the Moog DFAM is exactly the price I paid for a block of one-on-one voice lessons. I feel way better about spending the money that way.
The screenshots are up on the website (first section below the hero).

Thanks for the feedback!
You seem to have very little idea of what Marxism is, so might want to research a bit further on this part before making such a black-and-white conclusion. What happens in China today has little to do with Marxist ideology, but rather is a plain and simple dictatorship that has long adopted a capitalist economy. Both on the political and economic front China has little Marxist ideology left, except for the language they adopt.
No problem.

edit: btw. there are countless tv-documentaries about different parts of the operations of that part of the harbour. One very essential thing is the planning and sequence of the unloading and reloading/stacking of the containers, according to weight, freight manifest, reefer connections, and destination on the line/relation. (In German, OFC)

That part would be a prime candidate for 'AI'.

Still done by humans, so far.
And I was the person who had to merge two peoples work if they both made changes on the same day with the 'master' copy.

Sometimes I wonder how we got out of that era alive.
I had my share 40 years ago. No such fancy tools. Wrote out pages of dot matrix print and drawing arrows with a pen. Learned a lot yes!
It's on by default, but only for new users. For those who were using it since before it was introduced, it's still set to the other value.
Yes you are probably right. It's because of covid or the perception and response to covid.

I'll be very brutally honest here though. This covid stuff, I see a lot of people dying and a lot of money changing hands and a lot of... unclear things happening very fast all around us. It rather bothers me. Whenever this USA nation has a crisis the opportunists seem to rise out of nowhere to exploit it, and the common man suffers.
That's the core of the issue, tools have elastic supply and demand. A tool rental business meaningfully assists in matching the two - it's very likely a tool I rent would not exist otherwise, or if it did, it's because I financed it, a much greater expense for me for little gain. I wish there was more tool and car rental.

Housing, for the most part, does not do this. New housing is rare, and I can't walk away from that market, or even reduce my usage without severe loss of quality of life.

So yes, the only thing a landlord did for me is have more money than me when I was born, which if you look closely, isn't actually a service at all.
I have seen many comments parroting this line but none of you provide a source to back this assertion. Your claim that modular PC's RAM is slower is quite ignorant 'cos the bandwidth for the RAM bus has been consistently increasingly (currently DDR5) and remain the same whether it is soldered or modular.
Somehow very refreshing blast from the Old Internet. I feel a modern version of this would be divided to 15 pages, all filled with ads, and below a section of toxic comments instead of these very human responses.
Citystrides looks great fun, I'll be trying that out !
That books seems very interesting, but is it really about Geometric Algebra? I'm not talking about geometry in general, or differential geometry, which I'm a bit familiar with. And not Algebraic Geometry either, for that matter, which is also a fascinating subject.

I mean specifically Geometric Algebra.

It sort of seems like a notation, but it has almost a cult like following and perhaps it's more than a notation, is it a theory, a branch of mathematics?
That’s what I was going to say.

And to add - I’ve dealt with business people where it was necessary to use a “wrong” term to describe something technical simply because that’s what they think of it as. In other words you need to use the words that work for your audience for the best results, and you need your business leaders to have the right understanding to make the right decisions regardless of what word is used.

Where's the profit in that? American medical system being profit incentivized creates some truly dystopic outcomes at times.
It's a valid point if your goal is to get maximum possible performance. I have to admit that high power usage and the cooling challenges that follow have resulted in some cool solutions (no pun intended): https://youtu.be/7mDkvgO2ncY

Would a 20% drop in performance be acceptable to you if it meant a more than 20% drop in power consumption? Where do you feel the balance is right now and where is it moving towards?

Appreciate your input!

The problem is that the signal-to-noise ratio there is very low, and it takes a lot of patience and effort to extract the knowledge.

Moreover, you've complained about no one providing explanations (they have) while providing none of your own.

There's no point in responding further to your questions, since you're providing no substance of your own, but have a very short list of what you should google for context, in the event you're not trolling, and are just somehow trying the socratic method while ignorant of philosophy:

The topic is Capitalism, read what its supporters say.

Virtue ethics, Judeo-Christian-influenced philosophy, some deontologists.

While you're at it, maybe look up logical induction. I recall Philosophy Tube [1] has a good video on it, if you're so inclined.
It is the same topic, but OPs post goes into much more detail for the integer overflow example and a.b notation.
maybe i'm misunderstanding, but some web frameworks have built-in or easily-bolted-on and free user systems, like Laravel with various 'Starter Kits', or 'auth' i think is the one for django, or 'horus' and others for Pyramid, etc.

and, you can pay for boilerplate saas/subscriptions/payments functionality for most frameworks now -- some are realtively cheap ($99 Laravel Spark) or medium ($299 saas pegasus/django) and more expensive for ruby/jam/node/etc.

Cattle, not pets.

Using SSH is what you do if it's a pet.
Yeah. I suppose this functionality isn't everyone's cup of tea. The cool thing about Wayland though is somehow it makes the windows still look crisp and good while making them the same size. With the canonical hack to xorg, they always looked blurry and gross. The gnome wiki had this to say on it:

"On a Wayland display server, each connected monitor will have a scale that depends on the DPI. A scale affects the scale clients draw surface contents when they are visible on said monitor."

So it seems like it actually modifies the drawing at the application level rather than rescaling it like an image.
yeah, but those are rocks with basically same size as cubes/dices, while in China you can find proper rocks like 10+ cm or bigger
Ha that's great. He'll be pleased to know that having your cellphone out on a bike in Amsterdam is now illegal and strictly policed. He was right to point it out, it was (and still is) really dangerous.
1. Wayland does support remote execution; see waypipe for an example.

2. X11 does lack critical features that lots of users need: GUI isolation (a very basic security measure that's otherwise been standard practice for decades), mixed DPIs, and perf on low-end ARM devices (compare Sway with dwm/openbox/i3 on a rbpi or pinebook and the difference is kinda shocking).

Then what is your complaint? No one is stopping you from using X for as long as you like. Meanwhile the majority of users that want sane, modern handling of HiDPI can move on.
To "slice" something you need a "plane" in one dimension lower. To get some sense of why, think about a ball in three dimensions. You can "slice off" some of its volume with a plane (one dimension less), but if you have a line all you do is have a line through it ... the ball is still connected, and you haven't sliced anything from it.

It is similar how insurance works. And the maths work just fine over a large enough sample size on Windows and Mac. And the reason why they dont support Linux.

I think B2 is a leverage of their scale to offer something that is profitable per unit cost. At the end of the day they need to chase economy of scale. So it is a great addition.

My biggest concern is the cost of HDD not failing as fast as they have predicted, and that is part of the reason why they raised the price from $5 to $7. The recent announcement from WD only aims at 2.5x platter density increase by 2030 without using EAMR, suggest to me EAMR is expensive, and while HDD capacity will go up, unit cost wont go down as much. This is similar to NAND. We may be arrive at the end of the S curve in terms of storage cost reduction.
So the 3 lisp programs will be missed..

Sarcasm aside, seeing the resulting popularity of Clojure, I don’t think at all that this tradedoff was not worthy. Depending on Java/Js’s much much richer ecosystem is a win.
Personally I wouldn't touch bitcoin, nor do I consider it an asset. Returns on stock investments are historically high for the last couple of decades it's true, but if you take the average of say 5% a year, it's still much better than putting that money into a mortgage, when you can borrow the money over a long time period at < 1% (as in the UK for example), or even at 3%.

It's not a trick, it's simple maths. It certainly doesn't always work, and there are risks involved, so not everyone will agree on the right decision, but there is clearly a path where borrowing money to pay for a large asset makes sense.
There is no benefit in using classes that way. Technically, it's even harmful, because it has slight overhead. It's just poor style to have a consistent look for the script. You could just do the same with functions, and replace them one by one with classes when the demand for more complex code comes up.

Though, it's also possible that the writer simple did'nt know better and has not enough understanding of python, or thinks other people who might extent them lack those knowledge.
I have used strictly Nvidia gpus, on debian Linux, for 20 years, using the binary drivers, and I have none of the issues you describe. It just works, very well, stable and fast. Xorg is an amazing piece of software and combined with openbox it does exactly what I need.
Wayland is pushed by people, who do embedded Linux. Think: infotaiment system in your car. All UI is pre-installed and fixed to one (maybe, custom) toolkit, custom "window manager" (and it is not full-featured WM, as X11 ones are, as you can not move and resize windows arbitrarily), one theme, no remote access, very low response time.
It is better than both X11 and plain framebuffer in this role, for sure.
It really is useful even at the advanced level. Following it far enough leads to the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem and Hodge Theory. The advantage over the exterior algebra is that you have that and an interior algebra, which leads to many formulas in differential geometry becoming very natural (like Cartan's magic formula).
Ask HN: Functioning hidpi setup on Linux, how?
How do you manage to have a functioning hidpi setup on Linux?

With X, all monitors must share the same pix density, and with Wayland, X apps (running via XWayland) are blurry, like VS Code for instance (scaled up on hidpi displays).
I think it’s reasonable to love Backblaze of their backup service but still hate they added Facebook tracking to their webinterface (even if it was a mistake).
