Exactly right, this is why such snow flake identity politics that redefine words should not be allowed on HN. It's effectively ruined twitter and a good chunk of the internet, so it should stay over there.

It's silly that the OP wishes to turn a conversation into computer monitors into a conversation about bad or good words.
I can't comment on the wider smart watch market but I do know my wife's Samsung smart watch has a similar feature to vibrate water out of the speaker.
Ohh, those are interesting tips. Would also be handy for Awesomewm which is what I use. Gonna have to dig into how to do that.
Oh interesting, thanks for the heads up.
Inflection? Grosse? Needle??
+1 https://scoop.sh/ is pretty much the first thing I ever install on a Windows computer and then I use that to load up everything else.
The basic epi coming out of South Africa suggests that prior infection alone is wholly insufficient to prevent against infection with omicron (hospitalization and case rates have skyrocketed despite an estimated 90% of the population with immunity from, mostly, prior infection). So “natural immunity” by itself likely won’t help here, and regardless wasn’t tested in this study. My understanding is it’ll take about two weeks for studies to come out with more comprehensive data.
Not silly. Just yesterday I used it myself the exact same way. Couldn’t even get VS Code or Sublime to do it without random plugins.

This is not a transpiler. You are using Julia as a templating language for HDLs.
Alcohol makes you drunk. To some that is a benefit.
The things you learn. The damn CDC Covid tracker won't open in Firefox. It feels like not following open standards for cross compatibility is a dereliction of duty for government agencies, let alone the official tracking app during a pandemic.

For example, as a TypeScript / React guy who likes MobX, I have used most of the API surface of those libraries at least once, so combined with type hints both inline & thru option-click in my editor I virtually never search on those layers. More when I'm trying to use some new backend library.
Maybe I'm dense, but what's the usecase of downloading an original image from CDN? You upload it to distribute widely, and then lose it?
By way of DNA but aren't we splitting strands here?
You should really do more research because that's not how it'll work.

The idea is that users will onboard straight to Layer 2 and stay on Layer 2. Layer 1 will only be used by protocols and extremely important transactions like nation-state transactions. You'll also be able to move between L2's via bridging protocols like Hop.

This isn't just Ethereum BTW. Other chains are moving to layer 2 rollups because that's just how blockchains scale. Ethereum is getting a lot of shit because it's dealing with unprecedented demand and it refuses to cut corners on important things like decentralization. Other chains will have the same fate if they grow large enough.
Ask HN: Why did previous AR-glasses companies fail?
AR seems to get more attention lately. But, Meta (YC S13 not FB), ODG, CastAR, Daqri, Atheer, North (formerly Thalmic, YC W13), Intel Vaunt, etc. closed shops not so long ago. They all had interesting technologies and was well-funded. I thought it would be good to learn from history this time around. Why did they fail?
I would agree with you except terabyte drives are so cheap these days that 30MB doesn't seem like a big deal anymore. There are situations when multi megabyte apps are a problem, but not my situations.
I'd argue the worse "toxic business model" is the advertising model you're advocating for. I'm not saying Brave's solution is correct, but I'm glad someone is at least trying something different.
never got into Brave because I found their growth-hacking techniques to piggyback on gullible crypto-bros coin-peddling highly questionable, perhaps even predatory if you get randos believe that they can earn money by clicking on ads. https://twitter.com/NoNameGladiator/status/12589167028063682...

they disappeared from my radar the moment they mentioned tokens.
They removed one of the ways you could get to it: from the right-click context menu. You can still use the keyboard shortcut or add it to the toolbar.

(Yes, it was disappointing to see it removed for no good reason)
In Microsoft BizTalk one could make transformation rules not by drag-and-dropping but by coding in some weird XSLT dialect. It was a joy to use compared to the usual three-pane screen.
That's a good point. Regardless of how it shakes out, I'm really excited to see the first images from Webb. The implications this spacecraft could have for understanding the question of where we came from are immense.
Ask HN: Is anyone making a simple and fast OS with limited functionality?
Is there a good graphical OS out there with very basic functionality (text, audio, calculator etc) where the whole thing starts and runs ultra fast, but also supports modern hardware?

The use case would be things like undistracted writing or displaying sheet music, turning on from a cold boot and being ready to go at a moment's notice.

I know about FreeDOS, which is ultra fast to start and simple, but there's no GUI. I know about TempleOS, but that's a bit too esoteric. And I know about say, Windows 3.1, but that won't run natively on modern hardware.

I've searched for e.g. "very simple fast booting linux" but that just turns up results like Arch Linux, or how to make Ubuntu boot faster.

Is there anything out there?
I was making a back-handed reference to the idea that FTL travel, and erasing the distinction between past and future, are similar ideas. ;-)
> Can anyone sell me on/off this idea?

It's open source Free Software so if you try it and don't like it you can switch back with no loss? Personally I've never used anything but Mozilla since the days of the Suite 1.0 milestones, through Camino (RIP) on OS X, through Firefox today. Nothing else has as nice a UI as Firefox + Tree Style Tab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...
I think in both cases it was less hack and more getting around browser sniffing code that makes outdated or incorrect assumptions.

Please don't browser-sniff, use feature detection instead. The web platform is standards-driven, not browser-driven -- let's keep it that way :)
Can it run over TCP? Or only UDP (UDT)?
> HEY ANIMATED THE SCROLLING OMG PLEASE DONT DO THIS

That's always the first feature I turn off if I start a clean web browser profile. I'm not even sure why "smooth" scrolling is a thing...
US submarine effectiveness in the early part of the war was largely nil because the US torpedoes failed to work properly. This wasn't fixed until 1943, so there's a decent chance that even if the submarine facilities had been damaged, they would have been repaired before the US submarines got effective torpedoes anyways.
Probably the same reason 3D tv comes and goes every decade or so. Lots of excitement but people end up hating the glasses and it all fades away. It will be back.
Funny, it's the oldest BTC conspiracy there is - that the government created bitcoin to track us.
What actually is BizTalk? I'm a .NET dev pretty involved in the Microsoft stack and never once have I seen it in use or worked anywhere that uses it.
> Stuff like that always makes me wonder how much of it is down to the NSA being hooked straight into DE-CIX

It has been long established in the datacenter industry that if you build a building in $wierdplace, it is far more beneficial to your bottom line to haul your own traffic to a major exchange point than to pay to have each carrier come to you.

Further, everyone needs to stop worrying about the NSA. Yes they tap cables, no they don't care about what you ate for lunch. Dozens of countries monitor all traffic that crosses their borders, China does the same shit on all China Telecom owned fiber worldwide, other countries probably have fiber tap subs now, corporations will do it too if it makes them money. Encrypt your traffic, deploy TLS on sites you control, and stop trying to frame run of the mill networking decisions or any little issue you have on the internet on the hidden hand of espionage trying to steal your My Little Pony NFTs.
The only way to avoid dark patterns in software these days is to use Linux.
Accountable news outlets are much more important for democracy than cars.

Eager reporters are a stone in the shoe for any government. That is why they are murdered (outside of the US).

You should do whatever it takes to allow newspapers to procure and publish relevant news. The alternative is twitter, youtube, facebook, and that socialmedia Trump wants to launch. The world is heading to a very dark place.
I remember back in 2015-2016 when everyone was heralding USB-C as the one port to rule them all. Turns out, it's more like 17 ports in a trench coat to rule them none.

It's been five years since USB-C became standard on MacBooks and we've seen Apple reverse course on the idea it could replace everything, and with the exception of a handful of ultraportables, most PC laptops and motherboards still include 2+ USB-A ports as well as other IO. In other applications, like cars, aircraft, public charging stations, USB-A is here to stay, and the advantages of USB-C are dubious at best. A more fragile port, for... what, reversibility?

Having a clear use case for a port is invaluable. When I plug in an HDMI cable, I know it's going to be used for display output. MagSafe? Power delivery. USB-A/Firewire? A client peripheral connected to a master computer bus, like a printer or MIDI keyboard. USB-C eschews that philosophy entirely. In a way, it's almost like a step backwards to the days of serial ports and DIN cables, with different standards competing for supremacy and no way of knowing if Thing A works with Thing B without trial and error.
Like others have already written: Firefox is the most effective at suppressing ads, _with the uBlock Origin extension_. Ironic that most of Mozilla's funding comes from ad king Google. M's corporate leadership has really driven the project into the ground, and still... Firefox is the only browser that makes mobile Internet usable for me, and so I stick with it everywhere to take advantage of sync for bookmarks (bookmarks being something that someone with influence at M must really hate).

Brave's credulous promotion of crypto currency turned me off, as did what I perceived to be a terrible UI design (being a long time Mozilla user, back to the days of Netscape Navigator 1.0, my bar is clearly set pretty low).
> I would imagine that the US IC (CIA/NSA) already does some free consulting for these giant companies

This comment is how I know you don't work in the public sector. Those agencies' infrastructures are essentially run by contractors with a few GS personnel making bad decisions every chance they get and a few DoD personnel acting like their rank can fix technical problems.
> Even having used Javascript, HTML, and CSS for 8+ years, the core language specs and capabilities keep changing as well as the execution environments (the browser or Node)

But you can read the language spec/notes when they release a new version, you don't go to SO for that you just read the version update when it comes and learn the new things. And if you miss something you can read the language manual/spec later, it is usually more accurate and complete than SO.

> B) I run into limitations with the libraries I've written that require improvements, and google (A) as well as miscellaneous patterns while seeking to address those limitations in clean, maintainable, and intuitive ways.

This shouldn't happen that much after 5 years, at least not improvements that you can find at SO. SO is good to find "hello world" examples for frameworks and function api's, but it isn't much help once you know how to set things up.
Or the Apple Silicon IOMMUs.
Having it alone is not enough to manipulate the markets, you have to move it through exchanges. I guess it's not impossible, just tricky. I think when the rich sell their crypto, they don't do it on the open exchange as they don't want to the price to move when they do so.
When working for others I care about:

1. Knowing my craft (so, I got my degree and I "study"/learn stuff every week on my free time. I like it, so I don't feel it like "work time")

2. Doing always my best. So, if I need to find a solution to a problem, I'll consider the tradeoffs and requirements and come up with something that I will not regret pushing to production with all the knowledge I have at the moment. This allows me to sleep good at nights.

Both points could be summarized as "being honest with myself and with others".

From Wikipedia:

> Productivity is the efficiency of production of goods or services expressed by some measure.

I don't really care about measures.
I definitely disagree with the sentiment that generally people don't care what music other people(especially their friends) enjoy. One of my favorite aspects of Spotify is the ability to understand other people better by exploring the unique blending of intellectual and empathic tastes that comes with music.
Don't need to make sure you're on a path to still have in-demand skills in 15 years, if you can retire by then.
That's a fair criticism of my comment. Touché!
Jesus christ look at the picture. If just one infected person exhales this could be an outbreak. What is wrong with people still not taking COIVD-19 seriously??
Other than platform support I think C is practically only a hindrance compared to C++ in the hands of competent developers.

Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen
One quote I've kept around for years is:

"But now every little thing--wristwatches, VCRs, stoves--is jammed with features, and every feature is useless without an interface. If you are like me, and like most other consumers, you have never used ninety percent of the available features on your microwave oven, VCR, or cellphone. You don't even know that these features exist. The small benefit they might bring you is outweighed by the sheer hassle of having to learn about them." -- [which I didn't keep a source for, and searched back to http://www.garote.bdmonkeys.net/commandline/index.html "The Command Line in 2004" but that looks like a more modern post about an earlier Neal Stephenson article]

> "Like, why. Why ANY OF THIS. Why a big "important sounding" announcement for something so trivial?"

It's a blog post on the "Insiders" blog[1], they seem to appear weekly. Why comment on this at all "from the Linux side" in one breath advocating freedom of choice, in the next breath condemning everyone who doesn't value what you value, or who does things differently to you?

Which is it, freedom of choice, or mandatory complexity? Freedom of opinion, or "that is trivial and I am correct"?

A big mistake was turning the cables from passive wires connecting two ports into things needing active circuitry in the plug. Average consumers don’t think like this. They just want the “iPhone to USB” cable. Some consumers won’t understand why cable A is any different than cable B. After all, they both have the USB C thingy on both ends.
This point is repeated often, and the incentives for Amazon to downplay the actual downtime are definitely there.

Wouldn't affected companies be incentivized to make a lawsuit about AMZ lying about status? It would be easy to prove and costly to defend from AWS standpoint.
Is it possible to detect the format of the webrtc video? That sounds difficult anyway.
You do understand that Brave's philosophy is based on the utopian (maybe naïve,IMHO) idea of fair profit distribution and automatic revenue share, right? And thus as "left" as it can be if we are going for the political spectrum.

Also have you boycotted Javascript-related tech already? Because its founder was a big part of its development...
> 2) Firefox Lockwise - (though they are deprecating this on Dec 13) standalone password manager that syncs with Firefox's passwords, and which works on any iOS browser/password window. (I would use Keychain except I don't use Mac desktops).

Deprecated only in that it's being integrated with Firefox on iOS and Android, which (at least on iOS) will then show up as a valid password provider...

> it's also possible that you are indeed deciding (skewing) most of your interviews in the first several seconds.

Not the original commenter, but I've had interviews where I was feeling pretty negative about a candidate in the first 5-10 minutes, but ultimately recommended them (sometimes even quite enthusiastically).

Given that empirical evidence to the contrary, it seems like a pretty incredible claim to insist that I'm deciding primarily based on the first few seconds. Do you actually have anything to back up your claim? That would suggest that, for instance, performance on a coding exercise has absolutely no bearing on my recommendation, since it usually takes a few minutes to get the coding rolling.

I'm very confused - if it's working on Firefox with the Chime SDK, what good reason is there for Slack to block the feature on Firefox?

Is there some political reason for them to disadvantage Firefox that I'm not aware of?

tbh you're all missing the point. It's about bringing Hubble back on terra firma at the end of it's useful life, I doubt GP cares too much who does it. _However_ the reality is that SpaceX is the only organisation that appears to have the capability to do that.
I did computer engineering in school 20 years ago, and have always enjoyed understanding technology. So I know what is happening from the gate in the cpu all the way up to the pixel in the monitor. The downside is that I'm spread pretty thin. I can't pass leetcode exams in the 30 minutes of allotted time, ops people can't understand why I don't use containers, and my knowledge is probably useless in making a modern CPU.
Sadly, this behavior is somewhat common for many sites that block firefox based on the user agent. At least form some webcompat bug issues I've looked at.

"Always have a beginner / practice mindset."

Just wanted to highlight this because it is a fantastic piece of advice to keep in mind for interviews (and honestly for your career and even crafts or hobbies too). There's a reason doctors and lawyers (for whom the stakes of failure are sometimes measured in lives or years of freedom lost) call what they do "a practice".
I like smooth scrolling in browsers. Easier to track things with eyes. (though OP complains about "when grabbing the scroll bar handle", which sounds horrible)
Fruits are MUCH better than nuts thanks to their lower caloric density. but it's still easy to mindlessly eat hundreds of calories of fruit if you're not careful.

Given that even a hundred calories of surplus a day will certainly make you fat over time... basically any mindless eating is dangerous, in my experience.
This actually kind of depresses me, how certain technologies are so entrenched and require so much effort/resources to compete against as to render the entrenched technology as the one and only that we can ever have (for all practical purposes). I feel particulary depressed about this considering how YOUNG the tech industry is, and how stagnant things become when the winners are decided so early.

Literally just returned a Dell WD19TB. Supposedly it was certified to work with MacBook Pro and tested with a 16in 2020 Intel and 2021 MacBook Pro Max. Neither worked and dock would shutdown after only 5 minutes if I was lucky.

For Macs I would only use the suggested docs from Apple (CalDigit/OWC etc).

CalDigit Element hub is exceptional.
I'm curious why you pay for two music subscriptions. What's the process for deciding which one to listen to?
To make this work you're going to need an (unsafe) wrapper that lets all your processes get write access to the same 1GB of shared memory. If you write a wrapper that ensures safety, you'll get back to the same place where the faulty program reports that you can't all map the same 1GB of data and twiddle it, and if you don't it's on you for introducing unchecked unsafety.
I worked on a project like this in government for my first job. I was the third butt in that seat in a year. Everyone associated with project that I knew there was gone by one year from my own departure date.

They are now on the 6th butt in that seat in 4 years. That poor fellow is entirely blameless for the mess that accumulated over time.
I think you're right. I know a lot of classical musicians, and except at the superstar level, a pretty good generalization is that they have multiple income streams, including performing and teaching. A church gig can nicely compliment those other things. This includes music director positions. Some but not all require a level of commitment to the religion.

Data61 said they were pivoting to AI. Trusted Systems research just isn't AI research. As the other reply here says, all the quotes in this post are micro-quotes taken out of context.

The context is "Data61 is AI". It's very possible to disagree with that policy decision, but saying it is lies is just wrong?

I posit that paying money only buys the appearance of caring, not the actual caring. That is the reason celebrities get (got? Not up to date) doctors who prescribed addictive drugs, because they just gave the client what they wanted, not what they needed. You really want someone who speaks truth to power, not just pleasing nonsense. And the power must be able to discern the two.
