They don't claim that any more. They only claim a tiny percentage is held in cash now, the rest is in 'commercial paper' apparently.
Great job! Before I install it, can I ask - does light / dark mode auto-switch based on the OS setting, I go into darkmode at sunset (and vice versa). I love it when a website follows this, the current wikipidea does not, I'll install this if it does.

I've bought 3 LG ones during the pandemic and they're great. What other options do you need?
Lenovo have massive presence in the corporate market. My experience of their ThinkPad range is that they are built to withstand the type of abuse that comes from being used by people who have no emotional attachment to them whatsoever.

My shop has started refurbing and recycling machines between staff, as a cost cutting measure. My last device came complete with someone else's Coca-Cola residue all over the internal case and fan vents. Clearly a Friday afternoon job at the refurb outfit. Liberally doused with IPA, dried off and reassembled by my own hands, and it’s still running fine. Good design channeled the liquid away from anything valuable.
Not GP, but yeah, about the same? From your phrasing I expect it's how close we hold our phones that differs though.
Holy hell. It's incredibly inspiring what aaronsw was able to do. It's a list of links, and I kept scrolling expecting to run into text. Nope. Just a gigantic list of links, and choosing a random one seems to result in actual data: https://web.archive.org/web/20090410081645/http://www.rdfabo...

Well, almost actual data. The 4.7MB tarball link is broken, but the author notes:

> For the detailed Census statistics, you'll have to download the raw Census data files from the Census Bureau, my Perl script and the patch file below and run it yourself because the files are too big for me to offer as a download!

And the perl script link still works. From experience, I know how valuable that can be. The only reason I was able to help build The Pile (books3) is because of aaronsw's html2text script (https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text). Out of at least four conversion options I tried, that script was the only one that was flexible enough to be modified to spit out human-readable text at scale.

Thanks for the nostalgia. 2008 doesn't feel like yesterday anymore, but it will always feel incredibly special. That era was just different, and it's a shame that one only realizes it in hindsight. Otherwise I would've slowed down just to look around more and appreciate getting a glimpse.

P.S. although most of the data download links are dead, there is a trick to recover some of them: try to access the links on the live site. archive.org doesn't always snag tarballs, but occasionally (very occasionally) the tarballs survive till today.

You should also check the parent site itself, not just the direct url to the tarball. Sometimes you'll get lucky and the site merely went through a reshuffle rather than being taken offline.
> Btw. Who likes C++ templates?

Saying I like them is a stretch, but I prefer to write a C++ template rather than a macro (C++ or Rust) any day.
There's nothing which specifically stops you from having wormholes that don't violate relativity but do allow you to bypass annoying things like solid matter, but stabilizing them is something you also need negative energy to do.

Replacing all radio communications with point to point lasers via wormhole-on-a-chip devices would be a heck of a communications revolution (probably also an answer to the Fermi paradox).
You can sketch out your board in KiCad [0] and export it as a gerber that you can send to a printing service. CERN uses it now, so it's worth learning, as it'll only improve over time. As for PCB shops, I'd start with comparing [1] [2] and [3], and seeing which has the best price for your needs. Generally, just searching reddit for "PCB prototype manufacturer" will get you a couple decent options. It really depends on how complicated your design is and how big of a run you need.

A working recording studio will not change versions, let alone DAWs, given the non significant investment in plugins, time patching routing, probably to a physical patchbay, and hardware controllers or digital mixers that may have firmware compatibility concerns etc. Apples pace in pushing you off their hardware is many times faster than the geological timespan of pro studio upgrades.
Note that Harrison mixing consoles funded some of Ardour dev a few years back expressly to use it for their system, adding bespoke plugins etc.

it’s really a different world from electronic music production, which I’m rather familiar with lol.

Basically, if it involves in-the-box synthesis and largely programmatic sequencing it’s a different animal than a multi track audio editor optimized for comping takes.
Ableton workflow makes it clear how they are streamlining features to fit the electrónica (everything is electrónica these days, in terms of the production techniques having been appropriated by everyone else.)
And trackers and such are one of the original opinionated platforms expressly for making machine music, as Frooty and it’s ilk like Orion added audio tracks and recording features much later.
Workflow. Horses for courses. Upgrade timescales. Different animals. Can’t be everything to everyone.
That's great! Hey look I would like to send you the rights to my crate of wine. You're the 1000th customer to my site. Or maybe you want to trade it for your in-game weapon. Or I just like you and it's a gift, anonymous internet user.

Of course I could just transfer directly to your Ethereum wallet. But why do that when I could explain you need to sign up to 'winespectator.com', I'll email them to arrange the ownership transfer, and if you're trading that weapon let's both sign up for a pre-agreed escrow service online and pay them a commission to arbitrage. How many forms do we need to fill in, and who is processing that data? I currently own my crate anonymously- only the person who eventually burns the token will need to provide details to the company for delivery.

As always, descriptions like this betray how little engine-peddlers know about horse breeding. Managing a stable has been a thing as long as there's been horses.

I'm suffering with underscan on a 1440p monitor while using an intel MBA (2015). The mini-DP port would only work with a VGA adaptor & the 1080p resolution ends up with a vertical black bar on the left as a result of the underscan.

No way to fix this either since macOS Monterey doesn't have any settings to change, ends up showing that a 40" HDTV is plugged in when it's just a 27" 1440p display...
> it will push it to any slaves that are configured

But "it" here doesn't include every DNS server, right? Because, e.g., djbdns definitely doesn't do any pushing when you rebuild the database. And PowerDNS has "native replication" mode where there's no pushing done by the server on changes.
First, if you do the work never resign simply because someone made you feel like your best wasn't good enough. Second, if you are on the verge of resigning or breaking down due to the culture then you should request some time off to seek out counseling. People may die if something doesn't work but it doesn't sound like the company was paying you like it was critical to human life. Therefore, if anyone screwed up it was management and sales for not demanding more money and more time.

> a web in which I have to pay for content and sign up to 800 different websites with 800 different accounts

I can assure you that there will never be a future where that happens. Even if everyone that uses a browser installed an adblocker right now and never removed it again, if every website was paywalled, they would have to choose between closing down or unpaywalling again. Because as you say, you, and everyone else isn't going to pay to use every individual website that they visit.

So just use an adblocker. Fuck the ad industry.
Some lists the project uses are maintained for longer than than ublock or even adblock extensions were a thing.

I remember back when building your own pihole was the only way to go and opera just rolled out native link blocking.

What was this then? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29459806
When you say a "Mac" display, what are you referring to? Apple sells exactly one display - the XDR - and its pricing is such that no one casually buys because their $300 external display isn't working correctly. I very much doubt that is their motivation; it's likely just a (possibly misguided) effort to keep the UI simpler.
This article conveniently ignores that C++ modules exist, and that forward declarations are necessary in many scenarios.

Then the rest of the article is just nonsense, complaining that you have multiple ways of doing something and the like.
Sorry, but those are not hiDPI. For hiDPI, you need at least 5k at 27 inch. There was a single (!!) LG display (27MD5KL) that met that criteria, but it was discontinued.

The only external hiDPI displays that exist are the Apple Pro XDR (only works on macOS), and the Dell UP3218K (doesn't work on macOS).

Of course the iMac is hiDPI, but it's not an external display.

It's bewildering how manufacturers keep pushing for this low resolution 4k crap 10 years (!!!!) after hiDPI displays first appeared in laptops.

Not sure if it OP's reason to start the topic, but not long ago a designer on twitter made a bit of turmoil by offering to design a landing for 20k and use it as an example in the course he was making. Turns out he sold it and a couple more since then at the 20k-40k range, so I guess some people really have this kind of money to spend (he's focusing on web3 right now, so there might be an explanation there.
This is not how 'creating value' works. If you create something that sells for $100 but cost $100 to be produced, you have created zero value, and if it cost $120 you have destroyed value. In economics this is called added value, it's defined as the value of the output minus production costs. The sum of all added value over a period of time amounts to the GDP.
Definitely for prototyping, as someone with years of 'advanced' C/C++/Python experience, and someone trying to learn Rust, I'm finding Rust's 'opinionated' ways of doing things very painful for things like fast prototyping, where you need to impl 'default' traits on structs, or create builders (which is almost as bad as C/C++'s split of declaration and implementation in that you have tightly-coupled things in different parts of the code.), sticking unwrap() everywhere to not handle all errors correctly at this stage, etc, etc.
i.e. you don't really know what you want, seeing what works, how the data could be organised, refactoring in the early stages, and so much is in flux at this stage, the compiler's warning about all sorts of things, but I don't want to fix them as it might be a waste of time at that stage if you change things yet again, so just end up shoving:
#[allow(dead_code)] above all enums or something, so I can actually see errors within all the warnings.

Once you move past the prototyping stage on to full on production coding, I totally buy that in a lot of cases, the safety that Rust provides (if it compiles, it will almost certainly either panic or work, ignoring logic bugs), is a big win, but I'm not convinced yet for experimentation when prototyping...

No, I tried these 4k@27 inch displays, and you can enable scaling, but it looks really really poor compared to my 5k iMac. 4k at 27 inch is not retina-quality, period. This is the only reason I use an iMac, I simply can't get an equally good display without paying €5k+.

I understand that not everybody understands hiDPI displays, but it really grinds me gears to see low-resolution displays advertised as solutions to people who do understand hiDPI.
that's a different issue altogether, this one is about macos not supporting 2k and 4k monitors native resolutions, that one was about antialiasing. At some point, when Retina was introduced, Apple decided to completely disable their subpixel hinting so low resolution monitors (if 1080p can be considered low) that can render sharp text on Linux and on Windows look ugly and blurry on macos
Because a community with a strong devotion to a new tool is evidence of a strong reality distortion field and the reality is then decidedly less rosy than the followers of the new creed proclaim.
Templates are not very much like macros. You cannot perform a syntactic rewrite at the point of instantiation that replaces the template use, and they are integrated into the semantics of eg. overload resolution in a way syntactic macros obviously can't be.

I don't see why decidability should render them incomparable.
Because if you just pass them through, you will not have consistent behaviour across platforms. That was the original point: Rust implements a consistent, cross-platform filesystem API. It does not necessarily match whatever your platform happens to do.
From an everything point of view, there's no point in adding complexity for no tangible benefit. Rust has tangible benefits (memory safety). Very far from a silver bullet, but demonstrably better than C.

Rust isn't being experimented with in the kernel because someone decided we should really add a second language. C++ interop with C doesn't matter when there's no reason to use C++ in the kernel anyway.

It seems like there's a mistaken assumption here. Suppose you had a cheat code for the drill problem (starship Enterprise is in orbit, it fires its phasers and ablates a huge hole down to several kilometers). The only way to relieve the overpressure is for a sufficiently large volume of hot, liquid rock to rush up through that hole to the surface - that is to say, an eruption. Which is precisely what you were trying to avoid.
Ask HN: Microsoft Teams “Presenter View” PDF Presentation

However, my presentation is made in LaTeX beamer and I have a PDF. I was looking for a suggestion so I can emulate the Presenter View where I can read my notes without sharing the whole screen.
Pay attention to cargo features for crates. (Those are flags for crates, which also affect the dependency set needed by the crate affected.)

A lot of crates have a bunch of selectable features. Their defaults usually lead to many dependencies needed. If you carefully select those, you can cut down on dependencies a lot.

Quoting the critical parts of those opinions:

> Sildenafil is more often prescribed to wealthy people and low socioeconomic status is associated with higher risk of Alzheimer’s.

> There are other possible explanations for these findings; for example, we know that brain changes start decades before dementia symptoms and it is possible that these early Alzheimer’s changes reduce sex drive (thus people wouldn’t ask for a prescription for erectile dysfunction). [...] They did try to control for this by looking into patients with pulmonary hypertension, which is sometimes treated with sildenafil. However, this group did not have a statistically significant decreased risk in Alzheimer’s disease.

> people who take sildenafil have less serious cardiovascular damage than those who are taking the other drugs to combat hypertension or diabetes. If cardiovascular damage is a key causal factor in developing Alzheimer’s disease, then these people might anyway be at an advantage compared to people who have to take drugs for hypertension, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. The study tried to control for this, but it is not clear if severity of the different conditions controlled for could be taken into account (those with more severe hypertension are presumably more likely to be taking anti-hypertensive medication such as losartan).

Many of the opinions are quite positive though, and praise the high sophistication of the statistical methods.

Dividends are distributed profits, and these companies all have made profits. They just didn't distribute them among shareholders. Distributing or not distributing profits is irrelevant as far as shareholders are concerned, since being the owners of the company they own the profits either way.

The important thing that differentiates shares and bonds from other assets such as commodities and virtual currencies, is that the former produce income (in the form of profits or interest) while the latter don't.

The only thing you could transfer is some meaningless numbers. What makes them meaningful is some central, trusted authority that will accept these numbers as proof of something. But then, since you depend on that authority to verify this... you don't need blockchain.

I'm curious, why is that? Because the way I understood the Fermi paradox was that highly advanced civilizations should be visible from their energy requirements alone (e.g. via Dyson Swarms), not specifically in the way they communicate.

Not at all. I didn't try too hard to optimze it yet, and when I use a modern physical machine, it will probably be more like 20 seconds already.
I bet I could make it twice as fast after optimization.
