I don't have experience with this on a Mac but I've been trying this recently on Windows. Window snapping and edge-of-screen behaviors make using multiple monitors slightly better than using a single monitor that is just as large.

Fancyzones makes this much more tolerable but misses a few minor scenarios.

I replaced two 1440p monitors with a single ultrawide and complemented it with a tablet on my desk showing hdmi through deskreen, usually showing a chat window. I guess technically I still have two displays but it takes up less desk space overall.

On the positive side the displays are centered in front of me better and I can fiddle with the tablet placement much more easily than a real monitor. I've experienced neck strain working for extended periods with windows on the edge of the farthest dual monitor.
From Ukrainian it gets turned into "shch". Which IMO sounds about right. Mainly because sh and ch are shorter sounds in English (ch can also be a little hard), but shch gets the point across.
Yeah and I think that’s also why this conlang uses it. Having an explicit “be” enables simpler grammar and is much easier to learn. Nominative case is sort of an implicit “is a” in context and without cases that falls apart.
> The logical “partitioning” of workspace between displays is a nice tool for organization, particularly when combined with Spaces/virtual desktops

Use a better window manager.
My reasoning:

Number of 6-character alphanumeric passwords: (2*26+10)**6 == 56800235584

Number of seconds in a year: 60*60*24*365 == 31536000

Number of years to enumerate all 6-character alphanumeric passwords at one password a second:

>>> ((2*26+10)**6)/(60*60*24*365)
1801.1236549974633

(this assumes that alphanumeric is [a-zA-Z0-9], which some might disagree with)
> Corporate IT is inherently anti-user in my experience

As someone who did help-desk in the past, corporate IT is not anti-user, but pro-efficiency, though the outcomes may be indistinguishable.

IT is typically under-resourced[1], and has to deal with too many users with too many requests, and prima donna users - more of them than you'd imagine - demand personalized white-glove service (but don't want support to offer that to others because it ought to expedite service to them)
I have an Acer XR382CQK which is 3840x1600 and can do 75hz. I can’t live without it now.
Haven't printed a document in four years now. I think the number of people who print is getting smaller and smaller.
Exactly, the regulation is needlessly extremist. Hybrids offer the advantages of both types of vehicles. We could make meaningful progress towards carbon reduction with vehicles that are more inclusive of the needs of people in many climates. Instead, the regulation demands perfection and limits us to vehicles that are practical only in southern California.
I get quite annoyed at this because personally I have faced extreme adversity and only through sheer dumb luck of loving computers from an early age have I been able to escape my circumstances.

I’ll say it clearer for anyone who missed that: luck.

A lot of social issues in the uk are primarily class based, you won’t even be aware of the jobs you’ll be looked over for because you didn’t go to the right school, and those “right schools” pre-select based on background.

“Daddy is a barrister, I guess we let this one in?!”

In the event you are born with privilege you prefer to be underestimated, I don’t think I’ve met many upper class people who are genuinely happy being removed from the masses. Maybe it’s a grass is always greener thing.

Myself, I speak with a middle class accent, desperate not to be thrown back to where I came from.
> Agencies of one say things like:

Get unlimited requests and revisions, source files included, for $2,499/m.

Okay, you can say that, but how does a single person satisfy "unlimited" requests and revisions? Sounds like a recipe for rapid burnout and dissatisfied customers, to me.
Slack conversations are rarely spontaneous. You might text some of your "work friends", but other than that we typically text people purposefully. I never get to chat we people from other totally separate teams about anything, and forcing that to happen digitaly feels... Well, forced. It's really awkward and I crave that the most.

0BSD is actually incompatible with a desired pure CC0. Unlike CC0, 0BSD keeps copyright intact. It's just a license with no conditions except the usual disclaimer; CC0 attempts to cause a public domain dedication wherever possible. Consider the following:

1. Let there be a file F. F is released to the public under 0BSD.

2. Let there be a project P. P includes code from F. The license notice of F is scrubbed as part of the inclusion process.

3. P is released as CC0.

The author of P cannot release the project as CC0 because the author has no right dedicate another person's code (F) to the public domain. Because 0BSD doesn't cause a public domain dedication in jurisdictions that accept doing so, F would have to continue being separate and explicitly exempt from the effects of CC0 to be an accurate of its usage terms. Effectively, this makes 0BSD be a de-facto attribution license in a CC0 project. In practice, it makes no difference, but it's legally deeply inelegant.
I just hope the industry doesn't "move on" from print-focused word processing and start treating it like a second class citizen. Some of us target actual print: Books, technical manuals, posters, pamphlets, brochures, etc. and Docs is still basically decent "poor man's desktop publishing". Trying to layout a document for print when you don't have WYSIWYG page boundaries is a nightmare.
I'm curious about this documentary but am not having much luck finding anything. Do you have a source or a name?
The supposed usefulness of the work sacrificed in proof-of-work is to prevent Sybil attacks on the network.

An attacker can spawn millions of virtual nodes, yet they will never hijack consensus because of the objectively-measurable resource sacrifice.

While there may be too much reward for this sacrifice currently, the idea is a sound one.
Ukraine confirmed Russian forces were in control of the airport at the 25th. There is satellite evidence that on the 26 (9:06:15 UTC) [1] the hangar wasn't hit yet. That doesn't mean it was the Ukrainians though, but it definitely did happen while the airport was under Russian occupation.

I'd prefer that to ads.

With crypto mining I can buy my way out of it by having powerful hardware, or - in a hypothetical future where this practice is mainstream - offloading the mining to a separate machine as to not affect my mobile device's CPU. Crypto miners have a defined price: give me an average CPU's hashrate while you stay on the page and that's it - so if you pay that you are good.

With ads, buying your way out is impossible - by attempting to do so you just become an even bigger target. There is no define price for it that you can pay to "opt out".

They moved to the current Signal model because this was leaving metadata unencrypted (even if the content of the messages was encrypted, the two ISPs would known X messaged Z with an encrypted message).

Opportunistic encryption is also considered bad UX-- too easy to mess up.

By “window” do you mean “display”?

I wish that when you shared an app window, Zoom would let you scale that to fit the full screen share. That way you could present a reasonable image of a window to viewers while using an ultra-wide monitor.
I'm one of the original authors of Writely / Google Docs, and worked on relatively heavy-duty word processors in an earlier life.

I'd agree with you, and add that there are are a lot of other details that make Notion nicer to use. We made the move from Docs to Notion at work a year or two ago, and I've recently switched for personal use as well. Some of the differences are power-user things (e.g. easier to manage certain types of formatting from the keyboard), but a big thing for me is that Notion makes it a lot easier to manage multiple pages. Both the left-hand navigation list, and the ability to nest pages, are game changers when you're trying to manage a large collection of information.

Also Notion just feels cleaner; I haven't really tried to analyze why. And it seems like pages load faster, though I'm not sure whether this is literally true or just something about the experience makes it seem that way. Either way, it makes a difference.

As a word processor, Notion is still pretty immature. It's not very good at handling cross-block selections, using cut/paste to manipulate bullet lists often results in a dropped bullet, etc. There are a lot of little fit-and-finish touches that are table stakes for a mature word processor, but don't seem to be a focus for Notion. I'm hoping, but not confident, this will improve over time. Docs is better at this (ever since they threw away our our original hacky contenteditable code and built the entire editing experience in JavaScript), but that's not enough to make me switch back from Notion, just enough to make me wish Notion would put some energy into this.
This sounds very cool. Looking forward to trying it out on our data layer.
Ask HN: If you were asked to build a modern math syllabus what will you include?
Mathematics and Computer Science are inter-mingled. Both must learn areas of either. It is indeed important to learn programming to learn about modern proof assistants. Similarly to work in fields like graphics, ML computer science students must learn areas of math like linear algebra, probability, etc.

If you were asked to design a general math curriculum at university level which subjects will you make compulsory and in what order? Keeping in mind that when a student goes out after learning this curriculum, they can easily pick up new areas when needed.
A very annoying part of the Canvas API is that colors are represented as (CSS) strings, except for the pixel array, obviously. This forces to write code like this:

const fillColor = `rgb(${r},${g},${b})`

For the rest: long live the Canvas! <3
> people will start directly using these currency for payments (which they already do) without exchanging to fiat

Without fiat exchange, People can only accept crypto in an economically feasible manner as payments up to the rate that they have expenses/outflows that can be paid in crypto. The price will only be able to stabilize at a price that is orders of magnitude lower than today. How much lower exactly depends on the health of the black market for exchanging with fiat.
In what way doesn’t it influence enough? The political system in the UK is fairly broken such that PPE at Oxford will get you a long way in your goal to being an MP, and going to a public school gets you a long way towards getting into Oxford, which is a classist system with practical output
I registered for a The Economist event a while back. I have never ever seen such a laundry list of titles you had to choose from. And I don't think not choosing one was even an option. Basically the usual few plus pretty much every aristocratic and clergy title you could think of.

The developing brain of a child may be experiencing the emotions associated with having a negative intuition, without having any of the negative stimulus that normally causes negative intuition about something.

An important part of the human developmental process is learning to calibrate these sorts of things, and one way to calibrate one's reactions is to have adults check whether the child's intuition about something was correct or not.

There can be some cases e.g. hidden abuse where the adult thinks the child may be being unreasonable where they are not, but in situations where the child and adult have equal information it's a valuable learning tool.
That's why tegra "crippled" driver went into libdrm just recently? Bad timing? Or is this to prepare code "release" namely some full open source driver support? That said, "open source" is not enough anymore: Lean code using simple and very stable in time C (C89 with benign bits of c99/c11 and no more) is as much as important nowadays. Cyber Robin Wood.
Solidarity to whom? A group of people that have the same super valuable skills as me? Why do they deserve any of my solidarity any more than anyone else? As to your point, I agree, it is all about degrees, and in my mind the degree to which we, in tech, need unions is 0. I don't buy, at all, the argument that if we should get unionized, with all the negative that implies, just in case we cannot do it when it is needed. Power moves slowly, compared to crime or natural disasters, and we will have plenty of time to react in the unlikely event unions in tech will ever benefit anyone beyond the union leaders.

Noise cancelling headphones have always hurt my ears after a relatively short time using them. One of the ways they work is to shove some of their inevitable distortion up into the high frequencies, above what anyone can hear. I've never heard anything, but they definitely hurt my ears. I don't trust them. This is data. It isn't very solid data, because I can't give you sound pressure levels or anything, and it isn't a lot of data. But normal headphones simply don't make my ears hurt, even after hours and hours of usage in a day, which is most every work day for me now.

(I mean active, "true" noise cancellation generating "anti-sound" for your eardrums, not the passive things labelled as "noise cancelling" because there's apparently no legal definition of the term and anyone can call anything "noise cancelling".)
The S
I sometimes run an ultrawide (3440x1440) off my M1 Air. It works... ok. MacOS doesn't output more than 50hz, and every hour or so the display will flicker off and on. I haven't decided if its an issue with the M1, or an issue with the hub I'm using, but its not a big enough concern for me to justify investigating much further.

I personally feel that 21:9 ultrawides aren't quite as good as dual 16:9 displays for productivity. But they're fine. My biggest complaint is that most people would reasonable center their monitor on the desk. If you run 2x16:9, you can have one centered, and one off to the side, which allows you to mostly look straight forward and have a natural primary/secondary setup.

At 21:9, this setup is weirder; either you size your primary window (browser, code editor, etc) to ~16:9, left-or-right-align it, then you have to slightly crane your neck, or you center-align it and you're left with slivers of screen real-estate to the left-and-right. Or you can shrink the primary center window, approaching maybe a max of 7:9 for all three windows, which is maybe rarely useful for some applications. Or you can maximize the window, and in most applications you get tons of unused space. Or you can physically offset the monitor on your desk, which looks weird. There's just no solution that works "great" especially given these displays are oftentimes at a small premium over 2x16:9.

I think something like the Samsung Odyssey CRG9 would be much higher productivity in ultrawide, with its 32:9 aspect ratio. There, you could run a ~16:9 centered primary window, and still have ~8:9 canvases to the left and right, which is enough horizontal estate to comfortably have a terminal, Spotify, browser, etc. Its also relatively affordable (~$1100), though given you can find solid 1440p 27" monitors for $200-$300, you're effectively cross-shopping 3x16:9 displays. Still definitely a "luxury" buy. Its ultimately unclear to me that it would be better, and not just "differently similar".
Maybe Your Job Can Love You Back
If it were for that a team should be able to see this by themselves.

To me a bad manager is one that actually makes things more complicated. Once you have some experience under your belt you tend to see managers that add friction, unnecessary process and are more in it to feel the power and control. While others are adding lube to the system and making problems/friction disappear.

I agree that there are teams that miss the experience to see when crap is being shoveled out of their way by their manager. And I envy them, as they never had to endure a shitty one.

But from experience I would say that doesn't last long. Sadly.
Possibly contrarian point of view:

a) Passwords should be easily rememberable. Pick four words are string them together (e.g. correcthorsebatterystaple).
b) You must have a physical security key to authenticate - a Yubikey etc.

If those two factors are not enough, then forget working from home / mobile authentication - require people to arrive in-person and work in-person, with network restrictions on top of the two-factor authentication.

If two-factor authentication isn't enough, and IP address restrictions aren't of help to enforce know-your-user when they show up in person, then I swear, God help you. At that point, you're no longer practicing security, you're practicing paranoia.

Internet traffic patterns in Ukraine since February 21, 2022
How slow is it these days? Even readPixels() in OpenGL and hw buffer copies in C++ are “slow” because you’re transferring the image data over your PCI bus.

Also curious how & whether an async method could help? Is the problem that getImageData() has to wait to flush all pending draw calls before reading back? Are you thinking of some kind of callback that returns the previous frame’s data, rather than demanding it ‘now’? There probably is room for perf improvement, totally, just curious how you’re imagining it would look and if you have data on where the current bottlenecks are.

I'd for a long time puzzled over the mysterious \t accent in TeX. Why did DEK implement this obscure diacritical and leave out the more useful Ogonek?¹ It was only when I stumbled across it (somewhat garbled) in an online card catalog entry that I discovered that it was used in some Russian transliteration schemes to represent digraphs like t͡s for ц.

⸻

1. I suspect the other reason was that implementing the tie was technically simple since, by allowing it to extend pass its spacing width, it can be treated like any other above-character accent. Ogonek, on the other hand, unlike a cedilla or the dot-under diacritic, requires positioning based on the letter that it's attached to so can't be programmed as easily as a floating diacritic mark.

I was sympathetic to that view right up until the Canadian government froze the bank accounts of the truckers. Now I'm openly supportive of the activities the regimes don't like in crypto.
Kind of. I wouldn't say it's a hack but more so just using energy from a charging source like your house to heat the battery versus the car using the battery charge to heat the battery. TBH it's kind of standard operating procedure for EVs and not really fundamentally different than "warming the car up". It's why Tesla for example has a scheduling feature (they really need an ad-hoc one though) where they anticipated that you'd commute, say doing a 9-5, and your car would be heated, battery heated up, etc. by the time you leave for work based on your schedule preferences.

Ultimately it's not a huge deal for most of the country (weather-wise) and it'll be yet another item that will improve over time.

This also depends on if the data was sensitive and your log usage/retention policy, i.e. you can't just say "it's logs" to be able to keep things - you need to show you're only using them as logs.

My understanding is that the water contaminated fluid tends to concentrate at the bottom of the systems. With 20% of cars having systems with 5% water, that seems like the concentration could be higher in parts of the system. So I agree that it's probably unlikely (and only even possible in artic condidtions).
The childcare issue is almost certainly due to pandemic and will definitely come back. Immigration was also slowed by pandemic. The retirement issue is due to retiring boomers and will work itself out as the population gets younger. Declining fertility will likely lead to less robust labor force even while participation rate increases.
Even before covid, meetup was dying due to the greedy monetization. It was great while it lasted and then came fake users, membership limits, insane fees. I sincerely felt screwed over by their changes where we were going to cruise by under the free membership limit and got dozens if not hundreds of fake users inflating the group requiring premium. They even hiked the fees after that. Most disgusting experience. I hope they reap what they sowed.
