I've had luck by adding OBS to the setup. OBS connects to the real webcam and microphone, does whatever magic I want, and exposes the results as a virtual webcam that Zoom uses.

I eventually stopped using OBS because it was overkill, but it worked very well.
Ah, failing to correct someone but making a similar response... a problem as old as time.
Yep - one of my classrooms in Ohio was in the old fallout shelter. I saw the signs with radioactive label every morning going into the building. The location is now demolished.
Yes, but there's a big difference between random account getting hacked and verified world leader account getting taken over by compromising an internal Twitter system?
From the article:

"Because I don’t have the time nor the budget to send hot water bottles to everyone, I have written this article. It’s largely based on my personal experience – I have been using hot water bottles for many years and they are the only heat source in my apartment."

But then, "Low-tech Magazine is written by Kris De Decker (Barcelona, Spain)."

Barcelona's average low in February is 47F, too.

It's currently 32F (0C) here in lovely northern Alabama.
It does seem like actually knowing the target language is a major (unfair?) advantage - I couldn't make sense of any of these except for that one, because I can read Japanese, and that made it trivial.
As of very recently, like within the past month, same here. They rolled out just a simple blurred background slightly earlier. Running latest Pop! OS.
Low-tech Mag wrote a little about heated clothes: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2013/11/heat-your-clothes-...

That article is a little silly because it's talking about heated clothes only making sense indoors (from an energy saving perspective), since it can allow you to use less energy heating your home. If you are sitting around in your house, electric heating pads or blankets probably make more sense than plugging your clothing into the wall, especially since plug-in clothes don't really exist, but heating pads / blankets do.
My ex-boyfriend called me "insane", but I genuinely prefer ye olde 6-key arrow cluster from the Thinkpads of yore. I quickly got used to browsing with pgup and pgdown, now any keyboard without those keys adjacent to the arrows just feels wrong to me.

In any case, the keyboard on the Framework is fully replaceable. If there's significant enough demand for an inverted-T cluster, you can bet there are people who will make the replacement for it (if OEM doesn't get to it first).
Sure, but that's a little more work than just looking at the last digit, so it's debatable whether it's worth the trouble.
Rephrasing: "It should be obvious to anyone who looks that rich, productive people deserve to be worshipped as innately superior god-like humans by the stupid, lazy, and innately inferior under-classes." -- A rich, productive, and lucky person. Lots of respect for John Carmack and what he's done, but I'm pretty sick of the kind of person who's born to a television reporter and given access to computers in the mid 70s having the attitude that everyone who is poor deserves it. If they're so poor, why doesn't their daddy just do another movie? Sometimes kids must be very stern with their daddies. "Please daddy, please! It's 20 million dollars daddy!" And so daddy does the picture.

The ideas espoused by Ayn Rand are absolutely unconscionable and I'd argue anyone who doesn't see the "Atlas Shrugged" effect, where impressionable readers tend to become hyper-assholes for months (or the rest of their lives) after reading it, they are paying less attention than those who don't notice all the John Galts around them. Of course that upper-middle-class white male whose parents are paying for his college tuition is a John Galt, and of course all those Hispanic sons of migrant workers are stupid dirty lazy nobodies who should worship him. Aren't you paying attention!?

This is yet another case of yet another rich person saying we should all be deeply grateful they're bestowing their diving Jobs upon us and we should all worship them and not get angry when they don't pay taxes.
Twitter is not even dealing with hacked accounts anymore. There’s a lot of blatantly hacked accounts that haven’t been recovered and never will be.

> All they really have left is DRM heavy gaming.

AFAIK, it's not the DRM that's a problem, it's anti-cheat. Cheat software needs to evade detection of both its install and execution, and anti-cheat has to be able to detect those. I imagine writing API emulation that works with anti-cheat is pretty difficult.

Now I'm curious about how anti-cheat could work in a Linux environment. Cheat software likely doesn't need root to benefit the player, but it will certainly need to run as root to avoid detection from the anti-cheat software which will definitely run as root.

Of course, Linux gamers are probably going to raise an eyebrow about a game component wanting root permissions, but how else are you going to detect cheats?
Yes everyone knows that American left is still pretty damn right. But it’s the left in America. I don’t care about the global spectrum.

I disagree with your lighthearted assessment of the film’s values.

I saw all business and political elites being portrayed as truly sociopathic villains, and just generally, assholes in private contexts.

I saw conservatives being portrayed as fucking idiots. Like showing the military commander shooting an assault rifle at the comet, or the Fox News equivalent covering stupid content instead of the meteor.

I saw constant appeals to young liberal folks as the only ones that get it. And for some reason Arianna Grande.

If this movie were clearly a comedy, sure, but it frequently tried to be a serious film, and I think it just adds chaos and anger to what is otherwise an important set of issues. This is just as divisive as the bullshit the movie calls out.
I guess it depends on your goals... for me, it's more about pain management without nausea... just being able to sleep through the night. As I'm now no longer working for a banking institution or govt contractor, it's an option that I prefer.
For Marvel, mutants are those with an X-Gene, but in biology we tend to call something a mutant when an error in DNA causes something we wouldn't normally see (well outside of typical variation). We've all got screwed up DNA in us, but mutants are the ones who end up with really noticeable differences. That could apply to a lot of humans walking around today (albinos for example), but I guess it's considered impolite to call them mutants.
Thanks! It was a typo, I've corrected it
Basically, he personally borrowed money and put it in his LLC to finance it. For tax and other purposes, this is a more complex transaction that is somewhat legally different (the business took out and should repay the loan, avoiding his personally being taxed for the money). However, that's the best way to understand what happened.
I don’t think so. On sunny winter days, you can heat them in the sun, using a solar water heater (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating) and let them cool down at night, heating your body.

The low tech version is to paint them black and put them in the focus of a roughly parabolic reflector.

Is it true that once such a plant is built, the number of skilled workers to keep it running is actually relatively low?

I.e. some operational "dev-ops" style engineers who can fix and troubleshoot highly automated lines, keep the thing running. People to supervise the systems, some workers to handle raw materials, etc. and then the packaging on the output side. But in general, quite sparse for a million square foot property, compared to other industries occupying a building of that size?

I wonder partly because the favorable tax / labor jurisdictions aren't exactly where you tend to find extremely skilled silicon engineers. But an operational plant is maybe not where those folks are needed.
Anyone who believes anything said by a company from that region with respect to investments in the western world was always in for a surprise. It’s best to assume they think we’re all fat, dumb, lazy, and easily duped, and assume they’ll act accordingly.
Ye a silent pandemic of "mad cow" would be terrifying, like those people who now carry it asymptomatic would spread it or something. I think there is a "mystery" brain disease in an area in the US somewhere, but I can't remember enough details to find it.

> What does exchanging physical dollar bills in Argentina have to do with remittances, or crypto?

That, who would have guessed, there are places who'll happily convert the crypto remittances at the Blue rate. So the people you send money to will get more money, while you'll send the same amount, just in a different way.

And the people receiving money, would would guess that, will be happier by receiving more money instead of less :)
I remember there being a form to create a URL (which would get you a random git.io/xxx) but picking your short URL had to go through an API. At least that's how I created mine.
I've been so happy to see what Framework has been doing lately, and really want to support them, but I already have a desktop as my primary computer and two Thinkpads that are already set up nicely, but that I rarely use. I moved from 15" laptops to 14" when Lenovo added the numpad on the larger variant, and 14" is about as small as I want to go.

I kind of want to buy a framework though, just to support them? But I have no use for another laptop, let alone a small 12" one! Should I get one anyway because, what the hell, why not? Should I wait and then jump on one if/when they release a larger model?

Anybody else have similar feelings?

Edit to add:

I also have one of the last Thinkpad models that support S3 sleep (T480 -- within a model or two, I think?), which is currently super critical for Linux... I need to be able to close the lid and come back after a week.

It's easy to blame the manufacturers for this, but the consistent answer seems to be "Intel's Tiger Lake platform does not support S3 sleep," and all of the system builders base their work on what Intel's reference platform does. So short of going to extreme effort to hack it together themselves (something that is likely not their specialty), reasonable sleep behavior is not going to be an option unless Intel brings S3 back, or does work to improve the S0ix states.

I absolutely do not want to support the no-more-S3 clusterfuck right now.
As someone who grew up multilingually in Europe but now lives in the US and works for a US company (which seems to get localization right), I have the impression you don't really know the confusion and difficulties that arise from what you are saying.

To explain, let's turn it around. Assuming you also live in the US, imagine a EU company would make the following assumptions that are common (to the point of feeling entirely "natural") in lots of European countries, but wrong in the US, and think about how that could impede you in varying business situations:

* There is only one time zone in a given country.

* VAT and other sales taxes are the same over the whole country (and therefore just included in the display price).

* Every debit card, credit card etc. has a PIN, and a common API to the bank for card/bank-specific verification.

* Every bank account is identified by IBAN, even across countries. Wiring money is always free.

* Decimal separator is universally "," and grouping is ".". (Bonus: Let's instead be in an Asian country where it's common to group digits by 4 instead of 3.)

* Dates are always either in order "DD MM YYYY" or ISO YYYY-MM-DD. In the case the year is omitted, "DD MM" is assumed and no clarification is ever made. Your appointment is 4.5., thanks for doing business with us! Sincerely yours, noreply@example.com.

* Car-related business: You have to be at least 18 to drive a car (and have spent the equivalent of thousands of dollars and many hours of mandatory theoretical and practical training). It is illegal to drive a car more than 2 years without a thorough inspection that forces you to fix even minor things (Autobahn speeds are dangerous), so old cars are uncommon. There are special enthusiast registrations for so called "oldtimers", but that still requires extra maintenance.

* Gastronomy-related: But you're allowed to drink beer at 16 (was at least the case when I was that age), anything else 18.

* You have to use/publish your real name, address, and other information mandatorily in a lot more situations (e.g. when hosting a website of any kind--imagine a business enforcing that for all customers).

You may find that if you want to do business internationally at all, you have to start caring about those things.
Odd intuition, since you never store i back after incrementing. Also, I believe i++ might increment after the comparison rather than before, vs. ++i incrementing first
My mistake on the 5500 - we have a consultant / tax preparer that files the actual form for us, so it does look like the actual filing is electronic. What I was incorrectly remembering, it turns out, was that the authorization form for our consultant to electronically file needed a wet signature.

I agree with that on the presidential piece. Which is why I say left populist.

It’s anti political elite. Anti business elite. Anti American right.

It’s not pro Democrat. Much as the Kingsmen wasn’t pro Republican.

The Fox News equivalent, idiot military man shooting at the moon, and conspiracy theory culture were all “liberal” pandering though.

Bat out of Hell was the debut album, and sold 44MM copies putting it in league with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Eagles' Hotel California.

...and practically no record company was interested in the album when they were out shopping it around.

Clive Davis went so far as to ridicule them to their faces and imply that they had no idea how-to-write-a-rock-song.
Agreed, according to the sculptor himself, they are symbolic figures: “The two figures at [Roosevelt’s] side are guides symbolizing the continents of Africa and America, and if you choose may stand for Roosevelt’s friendliness to all races.” —Sculptor James Earle Fraser, 1940

Not really. In terms of length it sits somewhere between jacket and coat, but is also very much designed to be worn indoor (as traditionally japan doesn't use central heating). It doesn't much protect against the elements as it has a non-overlapping lapel with cords stiched on the edge for closure. In essence the front is mostly open, even when tied.
I've done this sort of thing often (and more quick&dirty) and nobody had an issue with it yet. Just put a good quality signature on the doc and then export the whole thing as fairly low quality. Making the signature blue and the rest of the document black and white probably also helps. But I never even needed that much.
Turkish Government needs to take a look at this.
"...anything related to the human body is super-heavily regulated"

In the Western world this is true. Countries with less oversight stand to benefit from regulation arbitrage.
You could also install cameras pointing back towards Earth and basically have 24/7 coverage of everyone's movements similar to what Darpa's ARGUS-IS[1](2013) does except using a global network of satellites instead of drones and build the greatest video surveillance platform on the planet. Instead of covering a city for a limited time with a drone stuffed with an array of off the shelf cell phone cameras, you could have "persistent stare" for the entire planet. I wonder if the NSA has thought about that.

I knew a family that struggled to pay their bills and in attempt to get even they reduced their inner home temperature to 13 degrees Celsius (about 55 F).

They were constantly miserable, because their hands, nose etc. were cold. You cannot really perform most of your home activities with gloves on.

Plus, the lady suffered from incessant UTIs.
I also cheated with a script, leading to this:

It was a URL-shortening service for GitHub URLs. Nothing more, nothing less. You would put in a URL, and get a new, short URL git.io/... that would redirect to what you put in.
Haha. So just like on my work laptop. 1 core working and 3 sleeping (because of thermal throttling). Got to love marketing.
Oh yes it does apply: send in crypto, and the locals will get more (blue rate) that many (most!) people will gladly accept instead of pesos!

Nothing is lost to you in either case, but if you send it USD in the official ways, something is lost to those who'll receive less money.

I'm somewhat skeptical that every radio receiver is interchangable. Yes, starlink will have some kind of transceiver - but do you have any citation to back up the claim that it can be used effectively for astronomical observation?

Even if the physics are fundamentally the same, all kinds of practical implementation details like orientation, bandwidth, frequency, and probably all kinds of stuff an actual expert in the field would know about may well differ.
Might help to think of it as more of a reprieve. In that the star itself or its remains will still likely end up inside the black holes Schwarzschild radius never to be seen again except as Hawking radiation till the BH evaporates.

That the environment directly outside a BH is energetic enough fling some stuff "up" does not mean the stuff can't/won't fall back "down".

In this case the stuff flung "up" happens to have the necessary properties to trigger star formation further away, which is mostly an incoming shock wave and an preexisting cloud of "cold" stuff.

The stuff the BH is throwing in its shock wave is not going to be "cold".
So to facilitate star formation the shock wave has to be less hot / less dense than and maybe slower than a larger BH hole would produce (which would more typically shred the cold cloud to tatters instead of causing it to collapse in on itself precipitating a star)
InfoWars is a propaganda organization and actions it takes do not belong on Hacker News, unless something notable has happened to the organization itself.
Very much so. It is situation dependent and in your case time dependent. 4.25 was nearly 25+ years ago at this point. Tips have unfortunately morphed into this 'this is how I get paid', instead of 'I like you, here is some extra'. We went from a system that was semi fair to one of capriciousness and pettiness. I once watched a dude dump out of a tip because the server didnt bring him a straw.

I was a heavy user of cannabis (daily with rare week long breaks) for several years before taking on coding career. Only then I felt how a single dose was impairing my ability to maintain focus for 1-2 weeks. This was very obvious and frustrating to me.

You don't get frostbite sleeping in tent in the winter with suitable bedding or sleeping bag, so it shouldn't be a problem in a building. Changing clothes and cleaning in winter camping works out as well.
I hadn't heard of this. The important bit: "In contrast to Org mode, Hyperbole features work across all Emacs modes. Hyperbole speeds your work by turning all kinds of textual references into clickable hyperlinks and allowing you to create new hyperlinks by dragging between two windows. The Hyperbole wiki page explains the many ways it differs from and is complementary to Org mode. Hyperbole and Org mode are compatible and may be used together."
That's what I do currently, but when some other kid's parents are organising a birthday party I can of course ask them not to use WhatsApp, but then my kid will be the kid with the parents who want to make things hard for everyone.

If this means that I have to get WhatsApp just for those things, than I can hardly refuse without making my son a social recluse.

After 15 years of SaaS-ing, myself and two collegues, everyone part-time, are trying to see if we can make a profitable macOS app: https://paretosecurity.com/. Revenue in last 30 days is $3000+, we started working on it back in July. So, it's something?

That said, long-term, we expect to earn more from subscriptions for businesses, than we do from single-user lifetime licenses. But again, ATM, it's the single user licenses that sell well.
I don't think Twitter ever disclosed whether an internal system was compromised or not (if they were, please inform!)

Third party app developers are more likely to have been. It's also likely for a third-party dev to have bad intentions.

I periodically review and make sure to disable third-party app access to my Twitter accounts. Who's to say your average celeb is likely to do that?
To be fair, the closest "competitor" is Xournal++, named such in part because its a c++ remake of Xournal, so there's sort of a precedent I guess.

Best A.I. Book
Can any one suggest a good A.I. book.
I would prefer books that focus more on the fundamentals.
Not exactly.

You mentioned that there are true believers, so i thought you referred to the commenters on the topic, since you linked to the HN topic and not the pdf associated with that topic.

Which is a bit confusing tbh :p

Definitely since you both submitted it, have the top comment on it and I don't know him.
You can throw all sorts of interaction terms with unknown coefficients in there and the renormalization will pare down any inconsistent with large distance symmetries. The remaining unknown coefficients are equated to combinations of known and unknown physical constants, to find the unknown ones requires a new measurement (AKA massive international experiments or cosmological observation).
