You mean 3 years ago? It is a while. Definitely enough, lot of software implemented it in the meantime. Zoom is actually the only one I know that didn't

LTS distribution before that are on X11, so this discussion doesn't even apply, supporting both is definitely possible since they already support X11.
It seems to use rubocop under the hood but enforces no configuration. Yeah that looks like something I can use
> I'm going to convert to USD for a minute (since I'm in the US) ... that's a price jump from ~$29.50 to ~$40. Or less than two trips through a drive through of a [cheap] value meal at a fast food place (maybe one trip through some places).

I guess consider yourself lucky that you apparently wouldn't be bothered by such an increase?
I agree -- it looks like there are mounting points on the back. While the review treated it as a pretty thick tablet or external screen, I think the main use case would be a wall mounted display, in something like kiosk mode. Maybe like a room availability monitor? But definitely something where the form is equally important as the function and a laptop wouldn't work.

But, I also think the ability to use this as a portable external/secondary monitor is quite interesting. That does make it more useful.
Can confirm. I still use Sparrow for email on MacOS. Yes that Sparrow - the one bought by Google and discontinued a decade ago.

I think the need to update software constantly is sometimes a self fulfilling prophecy with SaaS. Features that need constant maintenance get added because: "Why not? We have a continuous income stream."

Edit:

Another example: I use Transmit on iOS. It hasn't been updated since 2017[1] because of lack of sales. Still works great on the latest iOS/iPhone.

But the OS has a separate price tag there. Just because gamers rich enough to blow ridiculous money on their rigs also use it doesn't make Windows "the rich man's OS"; that expression means something only the rich man can afford. Rearrange the sentence a bit, and "the poor man's [whatever]" means the only such thing the poor man can afford.

MacOS sure ain't the poor man's OS.
They're getting out of nuclear and it turns out wind/sun kind of sucks because they can't store the energy nor produce it on demand. Their two last nuclear reactors (max output 4GW) often produce more than their entire sun+wind system (max output 122GW)

The thing that would happen then is private cram schools will make their students recover the past test questions from memory, and build up a huge database of questions that only their students have access to. This is how things went in South Korea, and probably explains a part of why they always win so many gold medals.
Preview on Mac OS can do this. You hold your signature up to the camera and then it creates an image you can add to any pdf.
Yeah, British expat now American here... I buy people kettles and hot water bottles if I'm going to be at their home for any extended amount of time. Also a toaster.
Meh. That really doesn’t always look very legit. Especially if you can “select” all the text, and when you select the signature you see a nice box around it. It’s then too obvious it was added as an image.

I don’t disagree that the whole “signing and scanning” is dumb, though.
This is literally a display with RPi box on the back. It even has an external cable to tie the display touchscreen into the USB port.

Interesting point, that makes sense. Thanks.
lol this would not help me at all

by the way am I supposed to take some meaning from the italicized '7' or was that just a typo?
I vaguely recall hearing a while ago that it may be counted as a forgery if you copy and paste your own signature that way. These days it even happens that you can simply type your name as a signature, but it's quite hard to be sure what's okay and what's potentially a crime with these bureaucracies. But for a tool like that, it might be useful to write down in which jurisdictions it's certainly okay (or not) to use.
If you think about how LaTeX has little to no use outside of certain sciences and maths in largely academic settings, then it's pretty obvious to understand that most people in publishing have very little interest in learning something entirely new when Word, which they've probably used for decades now, gets the job done just fine until they slap all of it into InDesign for the final typesetting anyway.

Besides, typed manuscripts often have little to no formatting anyway. They are essentially using Word as a "plain" text editor with red-lining built in.
In today's world, a rational bystander would consider the possible legal implications of getting involved and decide no thanks, not my circus, not my monkeys.
MBIM might be the way with the least hassle. QMI reeks of Qualcomm "quality".
My wife and I enjoy a rice filled sock. It has the added benefit of being able to wrap around our shoulder/neck when needed. Might be a bit harder to heat in a low-tech way than water though.

And when you ask for a pay increase because cost of living has gone up or complain that someone in another town that's similarly expensive earns more than you for the same role at the same company, you'll quickly hear that comp is based on cost of labor and not cost of living.
I... don't like the argument made here.

> But the reason it is an integrated system—and not just a collection of useful programs—is because the GNU Project set out to make it one. We made a list of the programs needed to make a complete free system, and we systematically found, wrote, or found people to write everything on the list.

First of all, I mostly use Alpine for Linux servers, so I guess that should be referred to as Busybox/Linux according to this?

Second, the work done to make an integrated OS on desktop is not done by GNU anymore[0], it is done by the GNOME/KDE dev's.

[0] Also, what does "integrated" even mean in the context of a UNIX-like OS. Doesn't that sorta defeat the point?
“ This is the part that doesn't follow.”

This is what follows, or at least strongly implied, from OP’s post;

The OP shared a story, admitting its anecdotal.

Yes, just check the supported bands. 1/3/7/8/20 are the common ones for LTE in europe.
Favourite part has to be where you can have a list of signatures to randomly choose from. I assume it was done so that not all signs look same and robotic ?
Streaming games is no different from distribution using a large platform/store with accompanying commissions -- you can't do it independently as a small company. Also more demanding towards one's internet connection and has higher running costs, since you have to pay for both traffic and a server side GPU, so not viable for a certain percentage of lower budget/cheaper/free games.
Hundreds of feet of pipe? Where do you think I live, some estate where I have 100 acres to myself?
next they'll try to end the practice of wage labor by not paying their employees

if that's the goal it needs to be a systemic solution, which generally means or legislation, company policy, or worker organizing. otherwise you're just going around hurting people. if you don't want to tip service workers, stay home, and don't order delivery.

remember, that scene in Reservoir Dogs was intended to demonstrate that Mr Pink is a shortsighted asshole.
He’s not in the position to do that though. He’s a bartender. It’s clear he is advocating for higher wages and better conditions and even notes that the management of the theater tried to do so but the national chain leadership shot them down.

In my opinion... If we REALLY wanted to detect near Earth asteroids, we'd focus on space based telescopes. They are better in nearly every way, except for the raw size of the mirror. But we use ground based telescopes because they are cheaper. Capitalism has already prioritized lower science budgets for finding big rocky planet killers.
Yeah, but if you go to a place that provides service in the US, you're signing up for tipping, and you know it. If you don't like it, stay in and cook and make your own drinks.

> One can be anti-mandate without being anti-vaccine. One can be pro-therapeutic without being anti-vaccine. One can be pro-investigation of therapeutics without being anti-vaccine. One can be pro-doctoral autonomy (with regards to off label prescription) without being anti-vaccine.

Sure, I agree with that, and neither of those were in the quote I responded to, which is why I asked about "that specific generalization".

Is there anyone taking Ivermectin that also isn't anti-vaccine, right of center politically, and don't know that the risks with vaccines are also the risks of covid itself, only lower with vaccines?

I'm asking because here I think the issue is deeper than the generalizations, in that politics has engulfed views (science/anti-science) that shouldn't be political to begin with.
I went from Ruby on Rails, then Javascript/Typescript to finally land at Clojure in 2019 and I'm not looking back.

Clojure has been a perfect fit for my needs, very similar to what you describe, and neither Rails nor JS have been able to match that.

With Clojure/Clojurescript you get:

- sane, single lang for both backend and frontend (much more seamless than JS/node),

- REPL-Driven-Development - immediate feedback loop translating to huge productivity boost,

- a very refreshing approach to programming,

- access to both two largest ecosystems JVM, npm and of course clojure's own amazing libraries,

- vibrant and diverse community, converging people from all different programming backgrounds,

- much, much more.

Rails and Django are a bit tied to 2005ish MVC paradigm and while it's reliable and gets job done, it comes with compromises on flexibility and user experience - making it hard to be competitive in 2022 as a solo founder. Clojure on the other hand is known for empowering single/few developers to outcompete much larger teams.

Seriously, forget about Rails and Django and just focus on Clojure.
It suggests to me that a lot of HN commentators have only been on one side of the interaction between service workers and customers.
Get the spikes. I'm not sure there's any 'trick' that's learnable without growing up there.

Essentially it's about walking without ever putting your feet down such that they apply lateral force to the ground, however. Do that right, and it doesn't matter how slippery it is.

...and then you also can't apply force, so you can't walk. The hard part is to automatically test the ground you're standing on, ramping up the force fast enough to make progress, without thereby slipping. It's so automatic, I can't explain how or why it works. I suspect it's getting done in the spinal column, even.
Very nice, I do this a couple times a year by hand. I'll have to keep this in mind for next.
I recently started infusing my own oils to then use sublingually for similar reasons and it's been a revelation!

You can know pretty much exactly how much THC you're getting and adjust / repeat as necessary. I haven't smoked in years but I've been vaping (with a Pax) for the past couple of years and attempted to "microdose" but it was very unpredictable and sometimes I would get higher than I wanted which is not good when using it for "work" purposes (programming, music, video editing, etc).

I've also recently come to the conclusion that for me, Cannabis definitely falls into the "less is more" category, and I limit regular doses (ie vaping to get high) to once a week. I can use the oils multiple times (at doses of roughly 5mg) to get into the zone without negative consequences.

When I overdo it with vaping I have the usual issues with forgetfulness (struggle to find words etc) and my motivation definitely takes a hit. Also I've found that tolerance grows very fast the more you use it and it becomes quite unpredictable.

Oh and for me it helps to mix it with a bit of caffeine as well. Slightly off topic but as someone sensitive to caffeine, the perfect "delivery mechanism" for me is a small shot of espresso in the morning and then a whole bunch of Sencha the rest of the day. Calm focus and good mood and still able to fall asleep :)
Ironically some expensive restaurants in the states add “gratuity” (like a service charge) to the bill and do not rely on tipping. This ensures their hard to recruit staff (sommeliers, skilled wait staff, etc…) can be paid enough to keep working there.

Yup, I just "sign" in Acrobat Reader using a signature image I scanned a long time ago, which should be pretty obvious to most people what I've done. But nobody ever complains.

Most people use S3, some people run Minio on Fly. Everyone wants us to just ship object storage so they don't have to think about it.
Honest question: As long as you say you signed it, and you say it's your signature, does it matter how real it looks?
> actually solve the fundamental problem

If you consider this "the" fundamental problem you're (a) underestimating the severity of other problems and (b) wildly overestimating what technology can achieve for humanity.

Trusting other individuals in this world is not a problem that's solvable by messaging protocols. Even literal scifi solutions like Mission Impossible exploding sunglasses inherently trust the recipient of the message not to share data post-self-destruct. Recipient trust is a fundamentally implicit part of deciding to communicate at all, through any medium.
If the point is to improve public trust “don’t worry, we manipulated the data to make it more anonymous, but we pinky swear that we didn’t manipulate it in a way that changes the results” is not a good approach.
This is kind of a bullshit excuse.

Most restaurants can barely afford to stay open because most restaurants are run by people who have no business running a business. Hell, let's be honest, most businesses are run by people who have no business running a business. Most people don't really want to run a business, they want to do something else, but also get paid to do it.

There are plenty of small restaurants around the world that get by fine without tips and manage to pay their employees. But for some reason, the U.S. thinks this is somehow impossible.

Tipping is stupid. But since servers can make more money than on a set wage, they don't mind that the restaurant owners are essentially pitting their employees against their customers. You know what would increase the overall level of service? If the restaurant paid a decent wage to their employees and then removed the obligation from the customer to pay the restaurant's employees.
How many warnings do you want for this small function?

void oh_the_humanity(int *ptr, int val) {
*ptr = val + 1;
}

Off the top of my head:

* UB: ptr may be pointing a float variable. (It's not illegal to assign a float* to an int*, it's only UB when you actually dereference it with the wrong type.)

* UB: val + 1 may overflow.

* UB: potential data race on writing *ptr.

* UB: ptr may be a one-past-the-end-of-the-array pointer, which can be validly constructed, but may not be dereferenced.

* UB: ptr may be pointing to an object whose lifetime has expired.

* UB: ptr may be uninitialized.

* UB: val may be uninitialized.

As you can see, UB is intensely specific to the actual data values; it's not really possible to catch even a large fraction of UB statically without severe false positive rates.

IMO anyone who is sympathetic to AR is doing a disservice by introducing her to people with Atlas. Fountainhead is far more entertaining, main character is better written, and it just gets the point across better.

Yes, this is a big difference between North America and Europe. I've never understood why (and consider it to be a big mistake), but for some reason most potheads in Europe mix their weed and hash with tobacco.

This is for people who want to run a fullstack app and expand it to multiple regions.

That looks cool, but as a practical matter compare it with a Lenovo Chromebook Duet I bought for $250 last year: nice display, Linux containers work really well if nothing else is running in the device, includes a nice keyboard/case with trackpad, and a stylus pen.

This is the cost of just an Apple magic keyboard cover for the new iPad Pros. I love iPads, but the Lenovo device is capable enough so that someone on a budget could just use it for everything.
Seems like you'd still have two customers (The burger is still in 'workin man''s budget), at 2/3 the food cost.
You did an amazing job of not addressing a single point I made.
The example breaks-down (no pun intended) on cars, though: software is likely not usable after 3-5 years (the length of a normal car lease)

Cars are typically usable for well over a decade :)
No, I mean last year. The current API for screencast (the only one which might work on anything other than Gnome) uses Pipewire and even OBS didn't support it until last year.
180Protocol – web3 open source data sharing toolkit
180Protocol is an open-source toolkit for data sharing. It targets enterprise use cases and improves the value and mobility of sensitive business data.

Our alpha release is live on [GitHub](https://github.com/180Protocol/180protocol). Developers can quickly build distributed applications that allow data providers and consumers to securely aggregate and exchange confidential data. Developers can easily utilize confidential computing (with hardware enclaves like Intel SGX) to compute data aggregations from providers. Input/Output data structures can also be easily configured. When sharing data, providers get rewarded fairly for their contributions and consumers get unique data outputs.

Read more on our [Wiki](https://docs.180protocol.com/)
If anything in the kernel is written in a language that has an extensive runtime system... Well, extensive runtime systems are pretty reliably resource hungry. And when they might suddenly need which sorts of resources tends to be unpredictable.

Vs. the kernel must keep working reliably when resources are running low.
Native clients may be preferred for things that are mostly offline anyway like a text editor. But for something like Zoom, it just makes sense to have a good web app and ship an Electron build for the people who really need a standalone app.

The probability of browsers and by extension Electron eventually having best in class screen sharing is basically 100% since that's what almost everyone uses so there's a vested interest by some of the largest companies in the world to make it work.

This is not true for the desktop application frameworks. While Zoom did have pretty good screen sharing (on Linux) via the desktop client, it had a awful bug where it would just freeze the entire system making it unusable.

Since 99% of people are already going to have a browser open, the incremental memory usage of a webapp is actually pretty minimal. Electron apps are a bit heavier (mostly due to the fact they all ship with their own Electron version) but it's a small trade-off given the benefits such as having the chromium sandbox and cross-platform compatibility.

Even smaller things like having a more robust and secure video decoding stack is a major advantage since it sucks when 10 applications all link against an old, vulnerable version of ffmpeg.
I seem to recall being rejected from their system because I hadn't given them and GitHub enough free labor to accrue the Internet points that would make me a "real" developer. Merely being paid to write software for years and years makes me a faker, I guess.

I like that the ads list comp (god, that saves a bunch of everyone's time) but I never checked them again after that. Dunno if they knocked that off or kept doing it.

Aren't electrons about 3 orders of magnitude smaller than a sub-atomic particles like protons? And I can't find an estimate of the diameter of a neutrino easily from google (do we even have one?), but it seems like neutrinos are even smaller still. And I think we still have a lot to discover in this area.

So maybe it's more like, about 40-50 orders of magnitude, but potentially much more as we explore the "extremely tiny" portion of the scale?
