Been trying out mailbrew for a couple of weeks now. I'm liking it so far. Increased productivity.
Yep, having the same problem. I'd love an Ultrawide with comparable pixel density as the 14" Macbook Pro.

I'm sitting on a very large database of monitor data coming from Lunar's diagnostics and error reporting (https://lunar.fyi)

Maybe I should organize it into Postgres and then search for monitors with the PPI I want.

Or is there any easier solution than Postgres for fast ingesting some JSONs and filtering by arbitrarily nested fields?
Yeah, that's not impossible. Surprising that they sat on the passwords for so long, but this is quite possible. Thanks for the reference/link!
What did you use to make this website? I like it a lot.

I have one of the LG Ultrafine 5K on my 14" M1 Max Macbook Pro - it is far more reliable with that Mac than with the 2018 15" I was using it with before. It's also worth swapping the TB3 cable if you still have issues.

After both of those I find it works absolutely flawlessly for me now, and it is comfortably the best external display I have ever used.

I would adore any option that is even remotely as good.
A more constructive approach would be to elaborate on what you find misleading in the article.
I'd say our conversation right here is a good example. Most people understand static typing, most people understand DI. Once you have those, the only part left to understand is the concept of capabilities. If you have all of those, your example is clear and simple. Maybe adding a type annotation to show that fs is a FileSystem in main, but that's about it.

I think you've done a good job of minimizing what's required for the average developer to go from not knowing about capabilities to using them.
Funny to read this at this time of year. I remember my sibling and I pouring over the absurdly small book for the Game Boy version, pictured in one of the photos, one Christmas. It seemed magical that every game we ever came across was in there. Little did we know that someone had been grinding out game after game. There was a kick from knowing that you were somehow modifying the game in real time, even though I was too young to know about hacking culture.
Good luck coming up with a good way to measure "harm" caused by lockdowns.

As a thought experiment:

Say you have a button. If you push it then it saves the lives of 100 people that would have had a heart attack. However, it gives 1000 people random mental health problems from depression to anxiety to addictions. Do you push the button?

Or say you have another button. If you push it then it saves the lives of 100 people that would have had a heart attack. However, it financially cripples 1000 people (causes people to lose jobs, businesses, etc.). Do you push the button?

How to you balance "death" against other kinds of harms?
There are completely practical reasons.... The omni-directional antenna typically doesn't have the gain, or bandwidth, or power of the high bandwidth antenna, but does have the useful property of being usable when the vehicle might be tumbling.
This is indeed an open question, and it's one we're going to need to address over the expected lifetimes of every single person who's living through COVID. We'll also need to address it for COVID "long-haulers," given that individuals with severely diminished qualities of life are a high-risk suicide group.
Not going to downvote you, but I consider that view extremely naive. Without an all encompassing worldview, you are going to need lots of luck to navigate life and the world. The word religion, once you divest it of superstitions, means re-legare, to bind together. And this is what spirituality essentially is, the construction of a coherent worldview that makes sense. God or other concepts like that are just syntactical proxies. Don't read things too literally, or you'll end up coming across as more deluded than the targets of your criticism (or as Harris). "Only the shallowest of minds would think that in great controversy one side is pure folly".

When I’m using the laptop as a standalone unit, the built-in screen resolution makes a difference. When it’s docked on my desk surrounded by two 24” monitors, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference except, perhaps, by very subtle cues in text rendering.

I can, however, see clear artifacts on the two 100-dpi ish screens. A 150-dpi screen would work perfectly for me.

A resume and a degree are just enough to be hired, yet we always do interviews. That's not for nothing.
That's probably why the PS4 needs internet, fresh keys/updates fetched when launching the disk.
Every time I buy the LG 5K I feel a little sad (it's overpriced for what it is, outdated, and limited with non-Macs), but every time I use it, I'm happy with the purchase.

Biggest downside (aside from the price) is extending the Apple lock-in.
This does read a bit like a (albeit smart) 9-year-old's interpretation of spirituality, but I'm afraid I think you might have missed the opportunity to understand your parent's religion.
Consistency is overrated. Context is what matters. And context often requires customized controls.

We will never live in a world where an abstract concept like a checkbox can have an 'assigned' specific visual affordance that doesn't allow for adjustments. Such thinking is stuck in the past and won't allow for new/better UI paradigms.
Funny as my friend said they’d like to live there almost immediately too.
Evidently that attitude is what lead to greater likelihood of 'repercussions' that average.
It goes for most of the US, and the US is too big to just ignore.
Do people really use their web browsers in full screen? I've got an ultrawide screen and it's very rare that I have windows wider than about a quarter of my display.

But then I favor narrow-strip-of-text style web design too. I find it really hard to read long lines of text. I want 65-80 characters at most, like you'd find in a book.
Great time to set some records too apparently!

Once you get rid of all the irrational babies (e.g. through unplanned unprotected sex), the rational babies never get born as people notice how "unprofitable" it is to have children.
Yes, NZ is in the process of changing the tobacco retail laws to slowly increment the age at which is it legal to sell a buyer any tobacco product.

The net effect if which is that it will never be legal to sell someone born after ~2006 any tobacco products.
Yes, I suspect there's a lot of title inflation going on in the industry.

I have a Senior title (at a "no name" company) and can probably get a Senior title elsewhere (I also get recruitment emails for those all the time), but perhaps only for some values of "Senior".
Motion Array is pretty great for templates for showcasing an app or website. I've made a couple using those templates and Adobe After Effects.
This has come up before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28607793). The usual response I see from Framework owners is it turns out having recessed dongles is actually a surprisingly nice convenience that beats out normal dongles way more than you'd think.

But RE the dongles locking people in, you can literally just replace it with an actual normal dongle if you'd like, but also the schematics are completely open (https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionCards). This is very very different from the way Apple does things.
Can you game with it? Is Direct X running on it? Honestly, gamers, who so often lead the trends in destop PCs, have been asleep at the switch decrying all that cruft.
The part I find most annoying is the way Windows 10 automatically connects to my wifi, even when the setting to not permit auto-connect is enabled.

And they only had 33% of the votes. They were finest, but in a parliamentary democracy ( which Weimar Germany was to an extent), you need a majority. Because no credible coalition could be forms, it was a stalemate.
I agree, that could make sense.

So LastPass (their extension) may have been hacked ~5 years ago ish, a few people here on the thread were all hacked in the same way, our passwords were sold off, and now the same Brazil IP range just tried all of those passwords.
I’d immediately go with Elasticsearch for stuff like that.

Can I explain what they did? No. Can I give an idea of how to do it? I think so.

Way back in the day, one of the tables in the CRC Handbook was the "American Experience Actuarial Table". It said, for every age from 1 (or 0?) to 100, what fraction of people of that age one would statistically expect to die in America. You take a modern version of that data for the country in question, (perhaps per gender, which IIRC the CRC table did not account for) and throw it at the age distribution in that country. That gives you a fair idea what to expect.

In doing so, you assume that the racial profile of the population didn't change much in that two-year span (or if it did, that it did so according to previous trends), unless you have actual data saying otherwise.

Is it perfect? No. But it's fairly reasonable.

Again, note my opening disclaimer: I don't know that this is how this study did it.
If you make sure the fine is some multiple of the damage, including the chance of being caught, then for most situations making it into a transaction would be acceptable.
> using `docker-compose up` to start a preconfigured sonarr, radarr, transmission with VPN , Plex or jellyfin is almost all you need.

That "almost all you need," is exactly why I'd rather just plug in an Apple TV. I'm not technically incompetent, I just have better things to do with my time.
May be a dumb question, but how much are we trusting Lastpass that whoever tried these logins actually used the correct master password? The posted statements sound a bit ambiguous, maybe they're mistaken? Does it show as a login attempt if somebody uses your correct account email address and the wrong password?

Of course if Lastpass is sending ambiguous or mistaken communication about whether someone else has your master password, that's a really bad sign for them as a company too.

On the "bright" side, if somebody had your KeePassX file and master password to that, I would think they'd be doing things a lot worse than trying to log into your LastPass account from Brazil. If they had that data and were serious about LastPass for some reason, they'd probably at least break into your email too and try and intercept those warning emails. Keep an eye on email, banking, credit card, hosting systems, any other higher-value accounts that might have credentials in that file for any signs of suspicious activity. If there's none, then a successful exfiltration of that data seems unlikely.
It is very interesting. There is a link in this article to another article that contains a pretty shocking global estimate based on excess deaths: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-...

It is more than 4X the official count. Some of that is probably in places with no official numbers. But one wonders how many are in China.

There’s an episode on Acquired with him where he talks about FTX. Would definitely recommend!
Your friend used a commercial service under contract for someone else for private purposes, and you conclude that therefore all password management software must be bad? This is definitely not what I have in mind when I recommend people to use a password manager.

And regardless, people should finally take this to heart:

If something is important to you, back it up in a format that you can read with offline software. I don't care if you store it on punch cards under your pillow or in The Cloud, so long as it's independent of the primary copy (such that you can access it regardless of access to the primary copy, and such that you don't need the original service to load the data in order to read it). It doesn't sound like that was the case for your friend.
I've also had a great experience w/ this monitor.

As mentioned elsewhere, it and my mac are sensitive to the cable, so it's worth trying a couple if they give problems. (More apple idiocy: what if we put the same connector everywhere, but made devices super sensitive to some qualities of the cables, connectors, or who knows what -- there's definitely no way this will be super confusing for users!)

That's a different IP range, but the fact that it's all happening at once (i.e. these unique, never used elsewhere LastPass master passwords being used to login) is rather strange..?

Because you are, and no offense intended, a very special person if you think that being sent to a concentration camp to work in terrible conditions until you die of starvation, or being sent to a gas chamber, is in any way comparable to having a quarantine, lockdown, having to wear a mask or take a vaccine.
How much should it swing? ~+20% for US from Jan to June 2020 for example, is that not the difference you're looking for?
I don't know how recent these numbers are, but the 25-44 and 45-54 male demographics are apparently over-represented in overdose deaths[1].

It's similarly hard to find up-to-date median age statistics for COVID deaths (and this is particularly troublesome, since the median age for COVID deaths should intuitively decrease over time), but the primary demographic seems to be >65 in most developed countries[2]. Interestingly, from that same source, it's lower in developing and undeveloped countries.

I’ve got a pair of the ultrafine 5ks. I’d happily trade them in on something that I can plug into and know that it will power up the display reliably.

Right now if I take my laptop off somewhere and come back, who knows if they’ll both power up. I’m frequently stuck on one display and no amount of unplugging and reconnecting or swearing helps.

I don't think that's the point. I think the point is that a lot of the rights many of us enjoyed for free were taken away as a result of the UK government's bargaining position during Brexit negotiations.

Brexit itself passed by a relatively narrow margin following an illegally run campaign from Vote Leave, and on the back of promises which have turned out to have been worth less than the buses they were written on.

However, the governments of Theresa May and Boris Johnson successively expected the EU to solve all of the UK's problems by accommodating their ridiculous red lines. The EU essentially held the same bargaining position from the beginning which was 'no single market access without freedom of movement', and the UK squandered an awful lot of time trying to convince the EU to change that position.

OP may have a different view, but although I don't blame the UK government for Germany's visa rules[0], I do blame the UK government for the fact that I am now subject to them, when I previously was not.

[0]: I'm not familiar with Germany's visa rules for British citizens. However, I do know that Russia (for example) operate broadly reciprocally - whatever hoops a Russian citizen has to jump through to get a visa for another country, citizens of that country have to jump though the same hoops to get a Russian visa.
The only currently acceptable external display is the LG 27-inch 5K.

Sadly the firmware is flaky, the webcam sucks, it has huge bezels, and is very thick.

Rumor is apple might have a new consumer priced external display next year. Let’s hope it’s true.
Because you need a pwa for a blog website?!
So I have a 28" 4K display (USB-C, ethernet, the whole shebang) and I don't notice a massive difference between that one and the MacBook one. Those displays are widely available and pretty cheap too.

Is there something wrong with me that I don't see a massive improvement between that PPI and the MBP one? To the point where I'd lose my mind about it and demand 5K there?
If you start distributing a jailbreak, Apple will patch it. If you sell it to an organization that buys exploits, you can enjoy your exploit indefinitely and make a nice chunk of change on top of it. Apple benefits from this dynamic greatly, as their App Store revenue is more important to them than their uses' security. They incentivize hoarding potential jailbreak exploits and selling them to the highest, and most likely malicious and deadly, bidders, instead of sharing them with users to increase their freedoms.
It absolutely is, though.
I'm not saying it's easy to go from rags to riches, but the only barriers stopping someone working their way up from the bottom 10% to middle class[1] are in their head[2].

Uncertain if that's true. Prohibition of substances hasn't worked for alcohol or illicit drugs in general. Unlikely to work for tobacco specifically, especially given how easy it is to grow.
You'll find atheists hate each other as much as religious people. Maybe more.
The article is sound but I am on the fence regarding external headhunters.

The arguments supporting their use (e.g. hiring company does want to leak information) seem weak.

I would tend to think that a strong hiring company should be able to bypass this information leakage on their own and own the process. Using an external headhunter does not prevent the leakage that much and removes ownership and control from the hiring company’s hands.

As a senior lead, being approached by an external head hunter has always triggered a knee-jerk negative reaction with me.

I would not mind being proven wrong.
Yeah but refrigerators have been fundamentally changed to prevent holes in the ozone layer. That's not counterintuitive.

>A previous version of this page used a five-year average of deaths in a given region to calculate a baseline for excess deaths. The page now uses a statistical model for each region, which predicts the number of deaths we might normally have expected in 2020. The model fits a linear trend to years, to adjust from long-term increases or decreases in deaths, and a fixed effect for each week or month.

The computer monitor market is at the mercy of gamers who want 1080p-1440p if it means getting 600fps in a game rather than 150fps at higher resolutions. It's why since 2015 there has been an arms race of refresh rates rather than of resolution. We had 4-5k panels at retina in 2015, market conditions could have had us with much higher quality panels if the entire thing wasn't catered to young, cash-strapped gamers whose opportunity cost when putting money towards a monitor is to put money towards a GPU.

Thankfully, as more and more public figures begin using OLED TVs instead of computer monitors, and as the monitor market takes after the larger consumer TV market, we will start to see better technologies compete with each other like OLED and FALD/miniLED.

It's a horrible time to buy a monitor right now, if you could wait even a year you should do so.

But keep in mind the relativity of "retina". It depends just as much on viewing distance as it does PPI. There are several handy charts you can view online relating the minimum noticeable viewing distance based on PPI.
