I live in Sweden (country with severe darkness) and just bought two Virtual Sun united from https://innerscene.com/

NOTE: Be extremely careful when transporting/moving these units, they easily break. The supplier who imported them on my behalf got two shipments with broken units until they finally got one that wasn't damaged. This happened despite FRAGILE markings on the packaging.

Innerscene's Virtual Sun is much smaller and lighter than the classic Coelux.

Coelux:
Weight: 300 kg (660 lb)
Dimensions: 2375 x 1675 x 691 mm (93.5 x 65.9 x 27.2")

Innerscene Virtual Sun:
Weight: 39 kg (85.8 lbs)
Dimensions: 1001 x 514 x 255 mm (39 7/16 x 20 1/4 x 10")
> nuclear was not economically viable vs going green

This is such a strange statement as nuclear is the greenest power source.
“Ideas can be harmful” is gibberish?
Yup. Working with long-term...contracts...in a database, this has brought us considerable panic then. 30-year default expiration, indeed.
Just log into a remote shell and execute emacs-org-mode from there. Like, remote shells are free 2022, no? I agree that if all the devices can't generalize to one source then it isn't as rewarding.

> Building an expensive nuclear plant to save cheap land is deeply foolish.

it depends. When it competes with other usage of the land (crops, biodiversity in forests...), that's not foolish.

Agree with you that each country has a different situation though.
that is certainly one option

however running Linux in a VM still has all the advantages of the modern Windows: adverts, mandatory updates with enforced reboots, irremovable spyware (telemetry) and other abusive practices
Why would you buy Russian securities for bitcoins? I mean literally? You buy securities for profit. In current political situation buying anything from Russia is more like making a donation to terrorist organisation. So why anyone on Earth will be doing that?
The conception of NATO as some USA-ruled bloc that almost annexes Eastern European states that have no say in the matter, is absurd. They joined because they wanted to be defended from Russian attacks, as is their sovereign right and decision.

Neither the USA not Russia should get a veto power over that. The fact that Russia is trying to force that very veto on Ukraine with tanks and troops is wrong.
I like this trend, I'm currently looking at next gen Surface Pro X as a replacement for my 2018 MBP.

I'm almost there with using remote development on super beefy Windows desktop (waiting for Rider remote development support) - I want a mobile device that's powerful enough for client apps - but I want to offload heavy lifting to a tower that I don't have to listen to whizzing next to my face.

I'm not sure why they keep forcing the laptop form factor on this - tablet is much more flexible, you can add the keyboard folio if you want it but I prefer using dedicated keyboard/mouse when I'm using it for anything nontrivial, and tablet is more practical in most other scenarios.
sure, the US military forced Putin to try to conquer the Crimea, the east Ukraine and now Kyiv. Putin had no other alternative, right? /s

The desktop version of O365 isn't really cloud software. It doesn't run in the cloud, it just stores its files there if you choose to do so, and checks it's licences there.

The web version is, but it does have a lot of drawbacks.

Does this abandoned convoy blocked by jack-knived trucks not have Ukrainian "golden block"[0] camo on some vehicles? Could be stolen I guess? None of the typical glyphs of Russian forces though, unless I missed them while scanning the video.

Mind you the passengers speculate some of it is Russian gear. I'm just saying it's possible they were attempting some sort of retreat. This is the same road where civilians were being fired upon. I don't think Ukrainian forces would be shooting at civilians on blocked roads if they had blocked them in this instance.

I think it's simplistic to just put that on "NK have nukes". They also have support from China, who want them as a buffer and don't want to deal with the refugees from the state collapsing.
The explanation is confusing indeed because closer means not only "brighter" but also closer. But we can try to overcome this confusion by a thought experiment: lets compress Andromeda galaxy by a factor of k and divide distance by a factor of k. This way it would be k times close but it would have the same angular size.

And now lets figure what the k need to be to make Andromeda this bright. Does such k exists? I believe it does.

I'm not sure would it work, because my physics knowledge is limited, but if I'm right then it is a non-confusing way to interpret the confusing statement "needs to be closer to be brighter".

If not now, likely soon. The chip itself is already supported and even its GPU is implemented since 5.15. Similar chips in other laptops don't fail entirely. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/samsung-book-s-with-8cx/52818/3

I give it another 2 months and I'd bet someone boots the basics at least. (Assuming the laptop is reasonably powerful and has enough users / interest) They mostly need to make sure the device tree is correct.
There are loads of products on the market that are intended to deliver short bursts of light to you. Usually they are marketed under the name "bright light" or "daylight" lamp. The point with light is that the intensity drops quadratic with distance. So, most of these solutions are intended to be used close to your face. The further away they are from you, the more energy you need. So, a wall or ceiling mounted solution is more costly.

I used to live in Finland where the winters are dark and long and lots of my colleagues had these in their offices. The first time I saw one (a Philipps bright light), I thought it was some kind of fancy new Apple device I did not know yet. Until they turned it on. Highly effective apparently in countering winter depression, which is a common thing that far North.

Basically you use them for 30 minutes or so in the morning. You actually need to be careful with this as you can damage your eyes. I checked on Amazon and you can get loads of different products in this category for under 50 euro or pay a premium for something bigger/fancier. E.g. Beurer has an ipad sized 10K lux solution: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/daylight-simulation-intensity-dis.... I can't vouch for any of these products since I don't need or use them though.

Personally, I prefer to just take a walk when my calendar permits. It's good for multiple reasons and also re-energizes me while lowering stress. Just a 45 minute stroll does wonders; I do longer walks when time permits as well. I live in Germany these days so, it's less dark in the winter here and it did not really affect me that much even when I was living in Finland. I noticed my colleagues from further south were suffering a lot more; or at least moaning more about it.
The Paris hotel in Las Vegas has had this for at least 20 years. When you're inside at 3am it feels like daytime. I think the idea is to keep you awake and gambling at all times.
LFS is great to learn how a Linux based system works without all the sweet, sweet magic modern distributions give us.

On a personal, nostalgic, note: running LFS on your laptop in my university was the ultimate Linux nerd cred. A step below, immediately following, there was Slackware.

The reason I feel confident enough working with Linux today is because I started back in the early '00 using Slackware, which recently had a new release[1].

Don't get me wrong, compiling your own kernel, solving shared libraries compilation hell, messing up your init.d and starting over, leaving your Pentium 4 compile for several hours was a massive waste of my 20s. But, boy, did I enjoy it!

> This sounds suspiciously like abusing semantic attributes for display purposes.

You don't need to be suspicious. The code is right there to evaluate at the bottom of [the demo](https://alvaromontoro.github.io/almond.css/demo/). The circular progress widget shows this:

<div role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="33" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="--value: 33"></div>

Is it semantic? No. But it's not an egregious sin, either. Definitely not "abuse". I wonder if `<progress>` can be styled into the circular widget instead of `<div>`? I assume not.
There is a little to no consumer market for quality stuff (ppl buy based on price, maybe lm/W, maybe CRI95+).

The article begins:

Russia’s central bank raised its key interest rate to 20% from 9.5% after the country was hit by powerful new Western sanctions over the weekend.

“External conditions for the Russian economy have changed dramatically,” the central bank said in a statement.

Over the weekend, ATMs saw long lines as consumers made a dash for cash. Early Monday, the Russian ruble plunged around 20% to 105 rubles to the dollar from around 83 last week.

The sharp rate increase follows an earlier announcement by Russia’s central bank that it would temporarily ban brokers from handling sales of securities by nonresidents and could decide to halt trading in some markets, as it seeks to contain the turmoil created by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Bank of Russia said it would delay trading in some markets and announce at 1 p.m. local time if they would open.

I've been wondering, why write like this? This comment makes no sense to me and, I bet, most other commenters. I have a friend who also talks like this, he's a conspiracy theorist deeply lost in his web of conspiracies.

It's almost like it's the conspiracy theorist's dialect, where it's information- and reference-dense but transmission-poor, because all conspiracy theorists in one group speak the lingo so they all understand the random words scattered about.
Oh yes, let's ask the crazy conspiracy people terrorizing Canadian cities for advice.
What's the pricing for these? Looks interesting.
I'm a happy native Linux desktop user for almost that long. Preferred it to windows. Let's not exaggerate about "only usable".
But Apple's aren't? I agree with you but they are pricing it relative to what they can get away with and Apple set the starting point for ARM based laptops.
There's little upside on this. The chip is not faster than an Intel equivalent, and the laptop isn't cheaper either.

My current setup is also slightly dissatisfying in that regard. What's nice (or rather a consolation) about orgzly - the mobile app I use - is that upon conflict, it explicitly offers to either choose the remote or the local version. At first I was worried it would simply attempt to always overwrite based on the local version.

While you are exercising your whataboutism, people are fighting in the streets of Kyiv. If Russia succeeds they are probably going to put their weapons on the Polish and Romania's border. Germany now has to run against the clock and everything done without planning, is more expensive.

Apple might still be selling Intel systems alongside ARM systems. But they’ve made it clear which side is the future. Their performance also isn’t a loss.

Probably the biggest factor though is in Windows land cross architecture comparability will be a much much bigger issue. If your legacy app only works on intel then arm is useless.
The Manager’s Path by Camille Fournier
In soviet times (and possibly any other tyrant dictator era) the dictator was told what he wanted to hear or be (literally or figuratively) dead.

So perfectly valid assumption is that command chain inflated the capabilities and morale of the army wildly.

Also, I think it would be naive to think that the army is the one place were kleptocracy is not stealing from.

So who knows, maybe the tyrant is playing 5D chess and shit is going to go really bad or he could be playing 1D chess because ...

This organization was essentially dormant as Lukashenko tried to maintain some independence from Russia. But after he was almost toppled by a popular uprising two years ago he had to bend the knee to Putin to keep a hold on power.

Back in 2021-10-06 when I bought mines, they were crazy expensive!

Why kids lie–and why it's not always bad
Ukraine, as well as Belarus and Kazakhstan, after the Belovezh Accords (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belovezh_Accords) have already transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia in 1992. So by the time Lisbon memorandum was signed in 1994 Ukraine did not have any nuclear weapons.
I got the T14 Gen1, basically the direct successor of the T480.
What I notice is when I put the power profile to balanced it's very quiet. But of course does not power up all the way. Fast enough for my needs, but of course might not be a solution for everyone.
All war crimes need to be prosecuted. I hope these will be prosecuted and set a precedent for going after western war crimes as well.

Sadly I highly doubt Russia will face war crimes tribunals as it would stir up what the US and China have done. They will probably veto any such attempt at the UN giving some bogus excuse. Only because you decided that the ICC do not apply to you doesn't mean it wasn't a war crime. [1]

Show HN: Flurri – Build meaningful connections with your co-workers
Hi HN, we're Nikhil and Dhurv, founders of Flurri (https://www.flurriapp.com/icycle). We’re very excited to launch Flurri (www.flurriapp.com/icycle), a platform to help teams build meaningful connections and create an inclusive, engaging culture.

From our own experiences and countless others, we know that starting in a new team can be isolating and remote work is lonely. However, the workplace is a great place to make new connections and build bonds, especially as other community institutions (sports clubs, volunteering, etc.) have declined in prominence.

We wanted to make it easier and more comfortable to get to know your colleagues, focusing on what makes us all human! We capture a bit about your hobbies and interests, and provide a way for you to search against it, learning more about your co-workers in the process.

Communities create profiles built on hobbies, interests, and short ice breakers and we create a searchable internal database of employees based on hobbies, interests, etc. Additionally, users can set up Icycle, our product to match co-workers based on mutual interests on a regular cadence, with meeting invites sent directly.

We are completely free to use, so feel free to jump in - creating a profile takes 5 min!

We believe work is a great place to find your community, and we want to make it simple, easy, and fun to do that. We appreciate your support and feedback and look forward to hearing your thoughts as we continue to build!
Ironically, one of Putin's stated reasons for invading Ukraine was that Ukraine might get nuclear weapons.

I don't think it's ethical to own 10 units and milk renters to pay inflated housing prices which are inflated due to the very fact that this is possible. The progressive increase in taxation allows for small time retail landlords to exist but really breaks the ROI when you are managing 20 units. Housing just isn't the commodity that should be investment, or speculation. Housing is for living, people who live in a place, work there, shop there, etc should be the ones owning the houses there and should be the one to benefit from economic activity they are generating in their neighbors.

Apropos to this, I remember back in early 2010s arch linux IRC had a bot which used to make fun of Gentoo for its compile time. One of them was something like "Watching compile text fly by is fun for the whole family". I still think about this some time. Which is funny because in day to day I don't use any compiled languages :P

Edit: forgot to quote relevant text.
