There's just that thing that had your previous president still been in charge we would most likely not be facing these problems right now. Most of your compatriots seem to agree with this statement [1], what do you think? Were the mean tweets a bigger danger to the world than what is waiting for us now?

can anyone comment on binaural beats and the claim that they can be used to manipulate brain activity- such as promoting focus or relaxation?
I've been very happy with this monitor for quite a while (probably 2017-ish): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY142C0/

...although fair warning it does have occasional "flickering maroon blankouts" (1-2x...3-4x per day?). AFAIK they're basically two panels side-by-side so sometimes my right-side-one will "blip" for half a second. (search flicker in the reviews/questions).

Find one you're happy with, and check the reviews! The difference between "monitor" and "TV" is massive w.r.t. latency.
The big oil producers still mostly just pump.

The US exhausted fields in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio 100+ years ago and has depleted the big western fields as well - production in the US requires fracking.
Using the 27" iMac with lots of stuff plugged in is a bit annoying. I occasionally have cables coming loose when I adjust the display. And it's impossible to get additional displays that match the iMacs look.

It's important to note that Apple cut off the Proton devs; not the other way around. It would indeed be pretty cool to see that sort of thing running on Apple Silicon, but the plethora of architectural changes that came along with Catalina stopped Mac support from being a viable target for Valve.

Not very surprising though; Mac native games don't really work that well either. If it relies on 32-bit libraries, it won't launch. If it uses outdated OpenGL, you can expect a plethora of errors to accompany you to an instantaneous crash. Apple has their work cut out for them, I just doubt they'll have the "courage" to bring back the features they so courageously threw away.
Right. Without really solid evidence, it might look like a military junta asserting control over the people's elected representatives. Someone who's not an elected politician would have just lost their security clearance and been let go, if the authorities decided to not pursue espionage charges.

Another thing is that the US military has been trained to be deathly afraid of appearing to have an opinion on politics, and this is both good and bad.
I am pretty sure these companies wouldn't get paid with the ban on SWIFT or the money would be stuck in Russia so it is basically free PR.

USB-C (or Thunderbolt) can also carry a DisplayPort link natively, and you don't even need a dongle for that. Workstations don't really care about HDMI, that's for TVs.

Not only that but with the Ultra variant, all of the USB-C ports are thunderbolt 4 ports at 80gb/s, that's a massive amount of IO.

(note that despite the number of ports - only 4 of them can be running displays, plus the HDMI port gets its own channel)

On Max it's only 4 thunderbolt ports (and I would assume 2 displays + 1 HDMI since it's half of an Ultra) but still, that's about 2x anything else on the market.
I agree with you however there is the point of the person in question having already established themselves.

The new friend with the once-tainted name already has a personality/life-experience they can use to enforce your new view of that name.

A new baby has no self identity as yet and will be largely shaped by the parental interactions. As a parent, I didn't want my poor perception of a name to negatively affect in any minute conscious or unconscious way how I interact with my newborn child.

Extreme? Yeah. But parents tend to get a bit extreme on some aspect or other when it comes to their kids and I figured that - as you say - it's just a name. If my extreme is to simply rule out names I don't like, then that's not so bad.
Yes but the market is forward looking. Look at 2008-2009, the market started to recover in early 2009 but the recession was still happening and the economy didn’t look good until 1-2 years later
I've seen it happen a bunch. Since StackOverflow is a Q&A format, if someone knows that many people will ask a question they know the answer to, they will write both. Preemptive questioning perhaps!

He also wrote the other question that he links to, How to index a database column, with the request to get answers for each major type of database. So he's asking not so much to learn the answer but to provide a place for others to provide a catalog of answers.

This is different of course from the case where someone asks a genuine question then comes back and writes an answer to themselves when they have learned it. This happens a lot too.
This generally isn't aimed at consumers; the much cheaper Mac Mini and iMac would be more appropriate there. It's for creative professionals (and to some degree programmers, though I really wish they'd make a similar-sized chip with less silicon budget spent on GPUs and more on CPUs...)
the point you are making here is spot on but woefully under acknowledged imo

For anyone confused, this is actually (semi) sane behavior by javascript standards, because it relies on `-"f"` evaluating to NaN.

Of course, because javascript, there are other string values of `f` for which the two statements are equal as well. (e.g for empty string both statements are true because `-"" === -0`, and for "1" both values are false)

Ask HN: I just got my first job and I need to learn faster and better
A little background: Self-taught web developer, hired to work with both frontend and backend code. This is my first software development job.

My problem is, I'm slow to pick the technologies needed to start working on JIRA tickets. I'm working together with another junior developer (also self-taught, started same day with me) but I'm just stuck eating his dust. I decided to put egos aside and ask him for help and the only thing I got was generic advice, which I already do (read the docs, understand what you read, try building their tutorials/getting started section, read more code, trial and error).

Either I'm inherently slow and it's time to accept the natural limits of my brain or there's a better method that would work for me and I'm missing it.
An M1 Ultra is $2000 incrementally over a M1 Max, so there is no price gap, even with the inflated prices 3090s actually go for today.
> - Physical button => still works better for unlocking than FaceTime (especially with a mask)

There are better ways of doing this than a button below the screen unnecessarily eating up space; e.g. having the fingerprint reader on the side, or the back, like literally any modern smartphone.
> <! is less than or not equal right?

No, it is less-than-not, not less-than-or-not-equal-to.

That is <!x is the same as < (!x); if x is true-ish, it is “< false” and if x is false-ish it is “< true”.
yes, basically the idea is with a USB-C display the monitor can be your dock
Personally I'd rather folks shoot high, aim for great, & if someone has special needs, they can transpile out their suboptimal version as they like.

Software rendering at 1080p should work just fine for everyone. Even if a pi cant realtime decode a high bit rate av1, it probably can re-encode a movie overnight, maybe in a day. That is a chore, yes, but in return we get to be transfering the best quality available, we're getting much better results.

I dont think there's any reason to wait. The good stuff should start getting seeded. We need media servers to help fill in the gap, do overnight non-real-time transcoding.
Yeah, it's pretty sad to see them pimping the likes of Genshin Impact. Even among the people who do play and enjoy it, I've yet to meet anyone who will defend it as anything other than a Breath of the Wild ripoff with a slot machine-shaped tumor attached to it's hip.
I know, but its easier to go from renewable hydrogen to methanol then eFuel.
You can use managed forests for those too. This isn't an either/or problem.

Deforestation is bad, but it doesn't happen because people want timber. Deforestation happens because people want to use that land for something other than growing trees, the most common reason being to make room for cattle pasture.

If you want to save the trees, don't stop burning wood, almost all wood products available today come from sustainably farmed managed forests. If you want to save the trees, stop eating beef. Also palm oil.
Unless you're running a farm of these, the power cost differences is going to be largely unnoticeable. Like even in a country with very expensive power, you're talking a ~$0.10/USD per hour premium to have a 3090 at full bore. And that's assuming the M1 Ultra manages to achieve the same performance as the 3090, which is going to be extremely workload dependent going off of the existing M1 GPU results.

I was adding info on how app use in it is when the edit-window closed...

Most apps are actually fine, if a bit cramped. The exception is dialogs. I usually have to scroll to see all options. You get used to it, but it isn't great.

Webpages are alright, but I do occasionally need to hide the keyboard while filling out forms to see feedback provided below the input (e.g. username already taken, passwords don't match, invalid CC #).

I've never really gamed on my phones, so can't speak there.

The one thing I did with a larger phone that I don't do on my Jelly2 is read things like textbooks and comics where images and text need to be laid out like print. It's too small to fit a whole page of legible text and images at once. 720 horizontal pixels and a 5" screen is the minimum there IMO, though really this is what e-ink tablets were made for.
Then why did Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan see the same drops in crime? They all lock up a minuscule fraction of their populations by comparison and had larger or similar drops in crime.

The timing is also wrong, the drop in crime started before incarceration ramped up.

Also as I mentioned the plurality of incarceration is for nonviolent crime, a lot of which is simple drug possession.

Latest update from https://discordstatus.com/ :

> Engineering has root-caused this issue to a Google Cloud component called "Traffic Director" which is responsible for configuring our load balancing layer. In its malfunction, it caused our internal load balancing layer to not have a valid configuration, which caused a loss of availability of the API. Engineering took measures to remediate by moving to alternate proxy configuration that did not use traffic director. It took us a bit to switch to using a different load balancing topology, but we were able to do so to restore service before Traffic Director issues were resolved.

And from https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/LuGcJVjNTeC5Sb9pSJ... :

> The issue with Traffic Director has been confirmed to be caused by a recent release; the release has been rolled back and customers can now start using Traffic Director. We have identified a probable root cause and will be publishing an Incident Report within the next several days.

Your words not mine, I do love Russian people and the culture but Putin cult of personality is sick it makes the whole of society rotten.

All parties are wrong and this whole thing is stupid.

My biggest concern comes from the timeline in #include's memo- apparently, Herb Sutter shared the contact information of some members of #include with Mr. X without their consent. At best, that's a gross violation of privacy. At worst, it hints at nepotism within the board.

Almost as stupid is that #include declined every opportunity to communicate with Mr. X. Diplomacy only works when two sides communicate with each other. It doesn't matter if the two sides still disagree at the end of the day. It also doesn't matter if it means talking to sex offenders. If #include had shown an ounce of diplomacy, they might have gotten something done.

I wouldn't be mad at the CppCon organizers for banning Mr. X. Having him there is a PR risk at best, and a risk to attendees at worst. I can't imagine a world where Mr. X would be substantially harmed by being banned from CppCon. It's a C++ convention, not a food bank.

I also wouldn't be mad at the CppCon organizers for allowing Mr. X to attend CppCon, provided Mr. X shows clear signs of rehabilitation and follows restrictions placed upon him by the law. #include could have developed their own firsthand opinion of Mr. X's condition, but they refused to communicate. I can see why #include didn't do anything to publicize this- they refused to communicate, so their entire argument against Mr. X's attendance is hypothetical.
The vast majority of developers today has a laptop as their main machine. Performance-per-watt is absolutely crucial there.

I care about my public image only so far as how I can use it to help others.

Letting everyone know this is probably really good for your public image. You sound so selfless.

It's pretty sad to realize that there are people who go through life only doing things based on how what they do will benefit their image or perception by others.

Some people have the the ability to do it subconsciously, perhaps without even realising it.
This all makes sense, and in that context it’s unfortunate that Apple’s relationship with the largest game tools company, Epic, is... strained, to say the least.

Sorry but this is factually incorrect. The majority of Quebec's oil is from Alberta, with some small amount being from the US and only a tiny portion coming from the Irving refinery.

https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/pr...

"Line 9 has been delivering crude oil from Sarnia, Ontario to Montreal since its reversal became operational in December 2015. The line has a capacity of 300 Mb/d and transports a combination of oil from western Canada and the U.S. Midwest.

In 2018, deliveries of imported and eastern Canadian crude oil on the Portland-Montreal Pipeline fell to an average 2.5 Mb/d, less than 1% of its capacity." (italics mine)

That being said, GPP is partially correct: Quebec is the highest electricity producer and consumer in Canada, but it's almost entirely hydroelectric and their electricity is cheap. "Quebec’s emissions per capita are the lowest in Canada at 9.4 tonnes CO2e – 52% below the Canadian average of 19.6 tonnes per capita."

With the highest electric vehicle uptake in the country, and the lowest greenhouse gas emissions, seems Quebec has the right to be smug (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnFAAdOBB1c)

Anyways, please don't spread political disinformation. Quebec is not a significant consumer of Saudi oil, despite what Jason Kenney has to say about it.

I know this was a typo, but the idea of Oracle upselling someone on a quantum field theory based solution to a string matching problem amuses me greatly.
Just as a matter of common sense and gut-check plausibility, what are we talking about when we talk about "eating paint chips?" Does eating a couple flakes lower your IQ in a measurable way? Seems very unlikely. What are we talking about, then? Do we imagine kids to be shoveling paint chips into their mouth day after day? Surely that's a pretty small number of children (if it's any), nowhere near enough to suggest generational, cohort-level effects. So what is it that we really think is happening here?
For my purposes, the biggest drawback of using an SoC is being constrained to just the unified memory.

Since I run a lot of memory intensive tasks but few CPU or GPU bound tasks, a regular m1 with way more memory would be ideal.
I've never met an application developer who was unaware of what a "queue" was or the problems they purport to solve. Pretty sure stacks/queues are among the first "data structures" that students create, which inevitably leads to the question of, "what to do when full?" i.e. circular queues, double ended queues, priority queues. I know that the enterprise grade queuing systems we're talking about are a lot more involved than that, but to suggest that developers don't grok queues is pretty disingenuous. And the implications of rate in > rate out is pretty obvious for anyone that's ever had a clogged sink.
Why the downvote? I think he is making a solid point. Just trusting your senses will become problematic fast.
You'd be surprised. While most people here in Romania are anti-Russia, some believe their propaganda that there's no war in Ukraine. They literally think that all the videos from Ukraine are fake.

It's sort of like the Cambridge Analytica thing. We live in bubbles, and we're unaware that in some bubbles the Russians are completely winning the propaganda war.

The overzealous covid response further fragmented society and led to further distrust of the media. This created a huge opportunity for Russia.

For now, it's not significant enough to matter, but it might come to bite us in the ass.

Come on. We have plenty of good heuristics for why things are the way they are. Quantum theory is no more a bunch of "guessworks and heuristic" than Newtonian mechanics.
