Screen sharing and screenshots have been working perfectly for me (in fact screenshots are actually better with multi-monitors than X because they don't mess up the off-screen space). No comment about xsnow ;)

I think screenshots work out-of the box for most compositors and screenshot tools but depending on your distro you may need to configure xdg-desktop-portal for screen recording. On my distro (NixOS) this seems to work on GNOME with no additional config.

For NixOS configuring GNOME which uses Wayland by default (if your GPU supports it) is just:

services.xserver = {
enable = true;
displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;
};

I'm not aware of any major issues with this and in my experience provides a better experience than using X.
The issue with the app store is there's a clear conflict of interest. Also it restricts users freedom.
> Maybe even with swapping one to another in a hard way (for example requiring resetting full phone and re-linking it again - so it cannot be casually by convincing someone to).

This is the idea I've liked the most, require plugging into Apple Configurator or Xcode to put the device into developer "beware all ye who enter here" mode which forces a wipe. I've never heard of anyone casually unlocking their bootloader on Android, which requires a similar process. You'd lose most people once you said "plug it into a computer", and everyone who isn't a dev once you said "wipe the phone".
Huh? We're doing pretty well, actually.
Yes to AMD, not to Apple. There is no secret core on Apple chips that has control over the system. They are much better designed than AMD/Intel CPUs and strictly isolate all secondary cores behind IOMMUs.

By "security processor" you probably mean the SEP (which is one of many secondary cores running Apple firmware). The SEP isn't even running when the OS boots and you can just leave it dead and choose not to use it. Other side cores are running or required to get a functional system, but none of them have unfettered access to system memory or the main CPUs (nor does the SEP even if you choose to use it).

In addition, since Apple splits up coprocessor duties among many cores, that also makes it harder for one to compromise others, or for several to collude to compromise the parts of the system they do have access to. E.g. the coprocessor in charge of the display controller can't go and read your keystrokes or send a capture of the screen to the internet, because it doesn't have access to that hardware.
UHK now has thumb clusters For sale as well.
Not a very popular one ;)
I have a TCL TV and I've used it to work from the couch a bit -BUT- I can't recommend it to replace a monitor, because it takes ages to boot up. There's a "fast boot" option in the settings, but it stopped working after the first firmware update, so now the TV takes 2-3 minutes to boot into Android TV every time you turn it on.
The X11 support in Java wasn't so good either AFAIR. Remember having problems with AWT/Swing apps in tiling window managers in the past.

Also, there is some ongoing work on Wayland in Java - https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Wakefiel...
Apple would not let them charge one price for App Store payments and another price for external payments.

They don’t want to see the code, they just want to know it works and allows them to play games with a much lower chance of playing against a cheater. The ban waves that end up on Reddit every year[0] are good enough for them.

Wall street always wins, especially when congress gets involved.
I really dislike all the bizarre "lego ain't what they used to be!" comments - they honestly come from people who haven't spent time with modern legos. For reference I was born in 1970 and played with legos probably from 1975-1985, and then seriously picked it up again in 2012 or so when my son was old enough to play with them. People paint this picture of these new legos that are made up of like 5 parts that you just click together and have a transformer or something. Reality is far from that - there are so many cool pieces that let you build things never before possible. I was going to make an analogy about it being like having 100 crayon colors instead of 1, but it is more like having a whole artist's toolbox at your disposal, including 100 crayons. People say, "but it is too complicated!" - well then just buy the classic bricks, they are easy to purchase in bulk, and you can find lots of instructions all over the place for fun ideas to learn with.

And then there's this weird idea that it is so complicated that you have to build it once and then never take it apart. Please, taking it apart was a huge amount of the fun for my son. He'd repurpose parts into his never ending scene that sprawled a 10x10 area in our family room. He (and us) would play with them literally daily for at least an hour, if not more, adding sets as they came along. Much of it stayed in bins, just because he had so much (youngest child of a youngest child, means you have lots of generous Aunts, Uncles, and cousins!).

Even now, at 13, he literally was putting a set together with is friend just yesterday. It's rarer now, since he likes the intense interactively of computer-based "legos" (People Playground, Minecraft, Garry's Mod, Teardown, and modding for other games, not to mention VR stuff).

Modern legos are awesome.

I’ve had a couple issues with steam purchases over the years, but support always corrected it right away and were helpful and friendly; even in the case where the issue was clearly my fault.

Way more than I can say of Sony whose support I would describe as adversarial in my several encounters. Most recently, after fifteen years of using PSN, hundreds of purchases, thousands of dollars, my account stopped working with ANY of my credit cards or PayPal - all orders fail. Their advice? Will not fix, buy gift cards from Amazon.
But, wait! It gets even better [1]:

- Cannot also support IAP

- Website links are all to a single URL specified in Info.plist with no parameters <-- !!!

- Must submit monthly report to Apple listing EVERY external transaction

All for measly 27% of the sales proceeds. A total steal.

Apple's really jerking on the regulators' chain. I sure hope they continue in the same vein, because the fallout will be spectacular.

> Germany is no different. Everyone is required to have health insurance(since not treating the uninsured is not an option in a humane socitey), and as a sole proprietor you must pay for that health insurance even if you earn very little.

Singapore has rules that make something like health insurance mandatory for locals and most foreigners here. However, if you are on the visa for highly paid foreigners, fewer rules apply. Specifically, health insurance is optional.

In general, I agree that leaving rich people out of your paternalism is perfectly compatible with a humane society. Rich folks can look out for themselves and only have themselves to blame.

(The health care for locals in Singapore largely works as a health savings account, so the system has less need to force healthy people into contributing to balance the books. Largely everyone pays for themselves, though there is a genuine insurance component to the system as well; as in a mechanism to shoulder large unpredictable risks.)
Indeed. I'm currently leafing through a book about Atari 800 assembly language, and recently had a go at some 8bit generative art code on a C64 emulator (using magazine code from the 80s and such). There is something to be said about the simplicity of those times.
The amazing thing about MAME is that it almost doesn't matter if there aren't new machines to emulate, because it so perfectly preserves the past. It really is almost perfected.

(OpenEmu and Retro Virtual Machine are also worth the time; the latter particularly if you have fond memories of the very underrated Amstrad CPC)
I strongly disagree. That arbitrary line is dangerous: Who decides when the amount of followers vs kind of message is not allowed? When the message is inconvenient? Inconvenient to who? To the ones in power? Are they good or bad?

Free speech shouldn’t be censored, ever. Instead, we should focus on giving, as a society, much more importance culturally speaking to critical thinking. Critical thinking should be a sacred element and should be promoted in any education level and in any cultural manifestation we citizens are exposed.
>and all of the sudden a company essentially has free reign to do whatever they want with your machine under your nose

This is the case for user level anticheats too. 99% of what a malware wants to do it can do from userspace.
I did not know about this. Clearly shows how Apple will fight to keep it's abuses on each country individually and each sector individually, EU needs to intervene and make this global for EU.
I did read that book but did not finish it. Got stuck in the gulag part. I did not know there was anything after it.
There is actually an ancient Greek translation of the the philosopher's stone! What's cool is they even edited the original UK cover where it says Hogwarts Express to say it in ancient Greek.
Most of the social interaction in the games space happens on discord these days though, and has since about 2016. The only social network effect steam currently has is with game invites, since it's slightly more annoying to join a party of friends via the xbox version of sea of thieves than the steam version, for example.
Denmark has a vaccination rate of 81%

The US has a vaccination rate of 65%

That doesn't seem so different. But of course it is the unvaccinated rate that counts. 9% in Denmark. 35% in the US. So almost 4x higher in the US.

Denmark has had 667 deaths per million, the US has had 2711.

So Denmark has a good case for dropping restrictions.

(And of course people will reverse the causality on this and claim that "hey Denmark opened, and has much lower fatality rate...")
It's not necessarily ridiculous. It depends on the sort of social norms and stigmas that are associated with those words. For instance, there could exist a certain cultural expectation of a certain level of rigour that accompanies any emphatic statements like "I conclude", and "I think" could have fewer such standards and so permit more lax claims to pass for those who are less familiar with the culture, like new scientists who have not yet absorbed those norms.

I don't think it's the most plausible explanation but it's not clearly and obviously wrong. Context what matters to make sense of this, but I'm not sure this sort of analysis could ferret that out.
Ask HN: What should I do with my phone checking habit?
I have a well established phone checking habit.

If I'm developing and my tests are running I pick up my phone. If my phone is in my peripheral vision I will pick it up at some point to check what's happening on it. If I'm working on a problem and I'm not sure exactly what to do I pick up my phone (to sooth my nerves).

I don't like the habit, but I have it.

I used to pick up my phone to check online dating sites a lot, but now I am less interested in them. So I find myself picking up my phone and not really being sure what to do with it when it is in my hands.

There are two directions I can go in (I think):

1. Stop picking up my phone as much. This means my brain needs to get better at holding that boring period where there are no inputs. (I must be a dopamine addict)

2. Find something more interesting to look at when I pick up my phone (by the morning I will already have checked Reddit and the news, so need something new).

Does anyone have any ideas of interesting apps to look at that could turn this habit into something productive?

Does anyone have any success getting more comfortable "holding" the boredom? (Maybe I should buy a Rubik's cube?!)

I don't believe that immigration will make England poorer.

I think that immigration is generally a good thing.

I think that unrestricted immigration would make any country worse off in a number of ways, not only the economic axis but social cohesion, physical space, etc.

None of those countries have unrestricted immigration.

It seems like you view my opinion as being in opposition to yours, but it's not, we feel the same way, I think. :)
I can't speak for financial media at large, but I think this particular article makes it obvious that it is a review of the new book The Revolution That Wasn't by Spencer Jakab.
Completely agree. My computer is my computer and they need to stop trying to own it. I should be able to install and use the software I paid for without some unknown kernel module getting forced into my machine. Proprietary software is bad enough. Nobody cares that they "need" to do it, that's a line they can't cross and if it means their games have cheaters on them so be it.
Yep, you buy a ticket and go wherever the government allowed you to go by adding public transit there. Which still relies on the roads most of the time. There are a lot more more roads than buses. During 2020-2021 I wanted to explore green spaces just outside of London. Guess what, doing it without car is incredibly painful. I'd rather take 1h drive than 3h journey on 4 different buses that includes 1h total wait on different bus stops. But hey, I can be drunk on those buses!

Once you go a tiny bit more rural than a million city, you start encountering "once an hour buses" and "there are only 3 buses a day here, only 2 on Sundays" situations.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I don't need a car to go to a supermarket nor to meet a mate in a pub. But cars do provide a lot more independence.
Just because it was political doesn't mean that a particular person or group in the government was responsible.

What DRM anticheat measures do is to monitor your whole system for modifications and kill the app if they detect changes. For example, they will make sure that your nVidia (or AMD) driver is one of the whitelisted hashes and hasn't been modified with a wallhack.

This is why Linux users using Wine keep being banned from these platforms - they detect "unusual" runtime environment and ban the players because it doesn't fit into their narrow hash of an "acceptable" system.

It is an outright definition of sealing off your OS from modification.
Seems more a case of dutch/english spelling mixup of the word 'saint' (sint=saint).

The Sint Sixtus abbey is located in the town of Westvleteren. There are a few 'Westvleteren' beers, the most famous is the Westvleteren 12 Belgian quadruple.

It's brewed by monks who only want to cover the expenses of their abbey, so supply is limited. You can try to reserve a spot in the queue (by phone) to come to the abbey to get a case. Some specialty stores carry it but with a heavy markup (>10 euro's per bottle). I'd recommend trying it for the rich flavour, but there are comparable beers for half of the price ;)

What’s funny is that you’re describing the latest MacBook Pro models aside from the LAN port.

It’s thicker than the previous generation with more ports, with batshit crazy 20 hour battery life.

Or, if you’re my cable installer, you can still buy Panasonic Toughbook and similar jobsite laptops that have those features, but they’re a niche.

What do you need a physical LAN port for? In my experience that need is incredibly occasional, especially when compared to the need to actually go somewhere (these are laptops after all).

Modern Wi-Fi speeds are so fast and reliable there truly isn’t a need to use a wired connection regularly even if you are “professional.”

There are Wi-Fi routers that will beat 1Gb speed and maintain close to 1Gb even 75 feet away: https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/how-fast-is-wi-fi-6/

You want long battery life and a dedicated LAN port but why do you need long battery life if you’re just gonna sit connected to the wall?

We used to lug around laptops that had empty space inside just in case you wanted to pop in a PCMCIA card, which seems pretty insane when you think about it from a modern perspective. Empty space in a portable device for the chance that you might want to add an expansion card. Obviously, USB has long since decimated the need for something so, dare I say, crazy!

I think what you want is to go back in time for nostalgia’s sake. These old school features are gone because they’ve been supplanted, not because some big bad evil laptop OEM removed it to save a buck.
I can believe almost everything else, and I imagine War3 mod making wasn't the "cleanest" thing ever, but this:

> your first realization was that Abdul was a poor designer

from here: https://icefrogtruth.blogspot.com/

is almost categorically false.

I've been playing Dota since... 2004, I was there almost immediately after the Eul/Guinsoo/Neichus stuff. I did research the previous versions a ton, out of curiosity.

There's almost no comparison between Icefrog's additions to Dota and what came before. The other versions were brilliant in their concept but generally very poor in their execution.

Icefrog added more brilliant concepts but primarily greatly cleaned up Dota mechanics and execution. He took an amateurish mod and made it have professional level execution.

Maybe he sucks to work with in a team (really hard to believe, to be honest, considering the development and testing team he built around Dota and the changelogs, OMG, the changelogs; I'd rather think he might suck to work in a on-site team, because his online team management was pretty solid), but criticizing his management/design of Dota for so many years is really silly.
We've created BOWWE on the foundation of clean code and top-notch SEO so all the projects created later within will rank high in search engines.
At BOWWE, we usually use relative positioning, making it easier for search engines to understand the content on a page, increasing its chances of ranking well in SERPs.

Apart from that, we monitor our users' sites and prepare SEO reports. I can tell you that right now, our clients' site results are typically between 87% -100% in Ahrefs and Pingdom (we also have our own stats that allow users to track their site results regularly).

But we also plan to increase our SEO efforts even more, this year.
Yes, but I'm probably weird because I like to know what the vendor fixed and whether the firmware update might remove features that I use (shakes fist at Dell).

I learned to very carefully examine and in most cases wait for community feedback on BIOS updates after an HP update (that could not be rolled back) introduced a massive touchscreen delay on their 608 G1 tablet rendering mine effectively useless.
The problem with methods such as GetCPUCyles or GetCPUCoreId is that .NET delegate calls are never inlined. Unmanaged calli calls are not inlined either. PInvokes could be inlined but have their own overheads for managed<->native transition. These overheads could be higher than a small method body. It would be really cool to generate function pointers with the default managed calling convention, basically what JIT does for normal methods. I mean, packing assembly into the body of a managed function, which has a chance to be inlined.
... naive and doesn't understand human nature and doesn't understand how capitalism shapes human nature.

You do understand that the crypto "exchanges" are effectively the gatekeepers to this "most secure and reliable accounting system"?

And appreciating how "capitalism shapes human nature", only a naive fool would ever expect them to do anything but promote their own interests above others.

In other words, "trust" is still inherent to crypto/blockchain. Ever hear of a "rug pull"?
The AI doesn't have to play the game, just recognise enemy players and calculate how many pixels to move the mouse so that you are aiming at their head. Even the top player you showed could probably have improved his run quite a bit if instead of having to aim he got a guaranteed headshot every time he fired his gun in the vicinity of an enemy.
This is why anti-cheat should be performance based. Build a model based on the way that verified elite players play the game, and their performance. Compare “normal” players against the model and look for outliers. Manually review accounts that look suspicious.

Cheat behavior is obvious. Ridiculous long distance accuracy. Weird movement. Weird map awareness. Weird awareness of other players. Etc.
In my head, Euros are worth basically the same, maybe a little bit more, than USD. But the US version of that set is only $40 (although it's sold out, so maybe the EU version is higher in price due to scarcity). https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/space-shuttle-adventure-3...

With regards to my kids I usually think "normalize over a week". Most kids that aren't picky eaters will eat more or less on different days. I just try to make sure to have reasonably healthy choices available the days they do eat.

Two days ago my son ate almost nothing for dinner. The day after he ate 6 big broccoli stems, 100g bulgur and one whole can of large white beans. I couldn't believe my eyes.
It's never black and white. The interview most often cited was an interview with Dr. Robert Malone:

"Malone contributed to important early research. A pair of papers he coauthored with two other researchers in 1989 and six other researchers in 1990 showed that mRNA could be delivered into cells using lipids, and that doing so with mice could trigger the production of new proteins. The two papers were the first reference in a 2019 history of the mRNA vaccine technology."

I'm less upset about this guy saying something wrong after doing some faulty research (I don't think he has any bad intent) than I am when a journalist interviews another journalist about corona (as far away from a researcher as you can get, or even worse, journalists babbling on which scientists are good or not amongst themselves, the blind leading the blind).

I never understood how journalists (or comedians for that matter) can have any authority, at all. This is not an issue about fake news, but a trust issue that is not Joe Rogans fault. Trust will not magically spring up after censoring North Korea-style.

PS. I'm already vaccinated, because I do not trust the likes of the anti-vaxxer Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter and I do trust the government.
> Right now my 40 year old car still runs just fine

But it doesn’t have modern safety features, to say nothing of its fuel efficiency.

> that's because public infrastructure still supports it

Public infrastructure supports old computers fine. Just like with old cars, people value the new things being brought to the table.

That doesn’t mean every new feature is wanted. But on the balance, most people upgrade their phones and computers out of choice.
