It's not a VR headset, yet the author continues to call it a VR headset. Oh well.

However, at the estimated price point of $2500-$3000 it will be hard to sell enough units to consider it a "breakthrough".
It's really unfortunate that there isn't a single, high-quality reference source (with an API) for song lyrics, the way there is for artist/album metadata (MusicBrainz) or cover art (Cover Art Archive).

My gut tells me this is because labels (or even streaming giants) realised it's monetisable and thus will pursue any API that gets big enough :(
There are people in those cars. I lived in the center of city for 9 years without a car and being walkable is great but you tend to end up limiting your life to a small area. Cars can enrich lives, open up opportunity and for families with small kids, make getting around more convenient. No need to be anti car to the point where cars are not an option anymore, optionality is key.
So... this is based entirely on speculation.

Think about it - how many cities have been destroyed by modern nuclear weapons from which they could draw conclusions?

Even the results of a simulation of such an event is highly speculative... what happens after the bomb depends greatly on the assumptions you make about damage to structures, weather patterns, the size of the bomb used, the altitude at which it is detonated, and a host of other variables.

The bottom line is that all we know for certain is that such an event would be horrific... but we don't know exactly how.
Do not practice writing invalid CSS, if this gets out online on the internet it will prevent any read `todo` property from being used because people are camping on CSS's name space.

Instead, any author is allowed to invent _any_ property, so long as the property name begins with a double-dash (--) and you can put anything inside as a value so long as it doesn't break CSS syntax

a {

So you could do this instead and it would be standard CSS, perfectly fine for all people forever!

>The Kremlin is perhaps the world’s most prolific abuser of the Interpol notice system. As other governments have found, Interpol notices and diffusions (see “Methods of Transnational Repression”) are low-cost means for the Kremlin to harass and detain exiles.

>The Kremlin’s targeting of financier Bill Browder through Interpol Red Notices has made the tool famous, but it uses the tactic to an extraordinary extent, and often against targets far less prominent.

>Without more transparency at Interpol, it is difficult to determine why or how the Kremlin is able to use its notice system so extensively. Nevertheless, Russia is responsible for a staggering 38 percent of all public Red Notices in the world, while the United States is responsible 4.3 percent and China 0.5 percent.

>Russian authorities have even been able to use Red Notices to detain individuals residing in the United States for long periods of time. For instance, in two separate public cases in the last two years, Russian asylum seekers spent over a year in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention based on Russian-sourced Interpol Red Notices.

While I agree it’s horrific… it does still feel less horrific than a full scale unrestrained global nuclear war of the mutually assured destruction kind.

But again this is basically a “how hard do you want to be beaten to a pulp? Severely or to within an inch of your life?” sort of question. Neither option your choosing between is preferable to almost any other option.
This explains it better than I can: https://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/addresses-in-japan

In the US, addresses are typically in the form of nnnn Street Name. In some cities with a grid and a regular numbering scheme, if you're familiar with the scheme, you can get a sense of where in the city the address is located. In extreme cases like Salt Lake City, you're almost getting grid coordinates though if the address is a street within a block, some of that advantage goes away. But most cities have a haphazard naming and numbering scheme. Odd/Even for the side of the street is about the only thing you can somewhat rely on. Seeing the address 1905 Peachtree Street tells you nothing about where a building is located in Atlanta. Is that near 2205 Peachtree Street? What about 6823 Peachtree Road? Is that even the same street? Is the difference of 200 in address numbers a consistent distance in different parts of town? The address scheme in Tokyo gets you into a neighborhood though you will have to obtain local knowledge to find the building by number. You can walk up the hierarchy to get a general sense of how close two addresses are to each other, though nowhere near as exact as you would get from something like what is used in Manhattan (a relative rarity).

Nickel Trading Is Suspended on the LME After a Sharp Price Spike
I worry that a lot of these sanctions are going to backfire. If I'm an average Russian citizen, maybe I'm against the war, or more likely I just don't feel very strongly about it. If the West then destroys my livelihood and financial wellbeing with sanctions, eventually my reaction is going to be something like, "f*k these NATO guys, they're ruining my life for something I have nothing to do with and can't do anything about anyway".

I was against the Iraq War back in 2003, but I would have been livid if the whole world punished ordinary Americans with sanctions, even though the majority of us voted against G.W. Bush in 2000. The fastest way to create unity among a group of people is to arbitrarily punish all of them together. This is, in part, why the military runs basic training the way it does.

The fidelity (and resilience) of firing solutions decreases with distance. For all practical purposes those B-52s are not vulnerable.

B-52s equipped with air launched cruise missiles are very relevant in today's world. It's a flying weapons bank that can be handed firing solutions from other assets (e.g. an F-35 flying stealth in a contested area).
All these threads seem to talk obliquely about other posts, context, etc and it's not clear to outsiders "what happened".

I disagree, Steve Jobs didn't luck out. Instead, he never went through the filters.

Had he tried to become an Aircraft Engineer or a Doctor, he might get filtered out but
he and Woz ventured into an unestablished field that was about to boom. There were no filters to keep him out and though he lacked a scholar formation he was exceptionally brilliant and managed to walk the path better than the most.

Peter Thiel says "competition is for losers". I think Steve Jobs is an example of it. Even if Steve Jobs said he was competing, Apple rarely competed and won on equal terms under Steve Jobs. He had always maintained a startup mentality, instead of making better phone than Nokia he would make something that no one at Nokia or anywhere else even dreamed of. IMHO, his leadership style was exactly what it takes to drive bunch of brilliant people into the jungle where the great riches are hidden but he was no match to Tim Cook as a CEO.

To this day, When I listen to his old interviews etc. I'm hypnotised by the clearness and the flow of his mind. It's probably because he was one of those who made what we have today but if you forget that for a moment he sounds like a time traveler from the 2000s explaining the value of computers to regular folks from the 70s.

What an extraordinary man.

It's a great example of handling a peaceful exit from a political union, but in terms of maintaining the existence of "The United Kingdom" it remains to be seen. There was no civil war, but it was polarising enough that it could well have lit the fuse that ultimately tears the country apart over time.

Scotland voted against its independence referendum in no small part due to fear-mongering about an independent Scotland being barred from joining the EU. The independence issue was then considered absolutely settled for a generation at least. However post-Brexit that has rightly called this into question, with still strong SNP support Westminster will have to reckon with that soon enough. Irish reunification isn't something I'm too familiar with the intricacies of, but they were pro-EU too and the Irish Sea border doesn't exactly strengthen the unionists case.

When I was a FireEye intern, I got to meet Kevin Mandia and it really left an impression on me. He came up to me unprompted after an all hands and introduced himself, and seemed genuinely interested in me and what I was working on. Then, my co-intern came up, and Mandia actually remembered his name and everything from his previous internship at the company. I remember thinking, this is a great and highly motivating CEO. It's awesome to see that his hard work has paid off, I hope I get to work with him directly someday.
Restoring power to emergency services (or even ensuring they don't lose power in the first place at some expense) is already a thing. Your hospital is in pretty rough shape without electricity today and likely has stand-by generators. Those could run on Green Hydrogen in some Zero Emissions future.

However in respect specifically of electric vehicles, remember ICE vehicles are not efficient. The motor in your petrol or diesel car is optimised for size, weight and acceleration, not for energy efficiency, because nobody would buy a car that's the size of a house, or weighs twenty-five tonnes, or takes an hour to get to walking pace from a standstill. You may have noticed from household appliances that electric motors are small, light and have great acceleration, but it's less obvious they're also very efficient. So this means an EV only needs maybe 60% of the energy you needed for a petrol or diesel vehicle, reducing the demand on electricity compared to what you might expect.

We might well end up with more load management to reduce the "duck curve" but there is a lot of unused capacity at off-peak times, charging your EV at 1800 when you're also cooking food, cooling or heating your home and so on may not make sense, the pricing incentives can strongly encourage you to tell it to wait until say 2300 when you're in bed and the grid load is lower to fill itself back up for tomorrow.
They can still fly with nuclear armed cruise missiles, just not gravity bombs (in what environment could something like that be used from a B-52 anyhow?)
This likely wouldn't work on practice. Nix is aggressively lazy, so if you just want a single package, you don't have to evaluate the builds of all 60k+ packages, just the package you wanted and its dependencies.

This just might be me as a functional-programming-maximalist, but I do not like imperative languages for configuration management. You implicitly have to hold the execution state of all actions to know what is going on.
The reality is that no country with nukes has ever been invaded. This fact will always make them very attractive as a way of ensuring safety. A great example is Ukraine- they gave up their nukes voluntarily after being promised by the US and Russia that they would not be invaded. Now Russia is invading Ukraine, and the US is allowing it.
> we can live everywhere by adapting. It'll take more than thousands of warheads to wipe us out.

How do you adapt to having no food? It's entirely possible that most plant life on earth would cease to exist, with the corresponding collapse across the food chain killing most species of animals across the world.

Any humans left alive would need to eat whatever plant and animal life survived and was available on land in areas that radiation wasn't lethal.. which might be nowhere.
So you're chastising everybody for not using as little "energy" as you (counting only electricity) so that we can get off of russian gas, while you're only able to get your numbers so low because 90% of your own energy usage is from gas?

You need around 1200kwh per month (annualized) heat a medium home. That's just the math. Whether that energy comes to you in the form of fossil fuel or electricity doesn't matter, that's how much you and everybody else is using for climate control. The fact that it appears on your gas bill instead of your electric bill doesn't mean you're using any less power.

Nobody's gonna save the world by turning off their 3-watt LED bulb an hour earlier each night, cutting a whopping 0.09kwh (0.009%) from their monthly usage.
They do the IR retainer work for companies that are serious about security with real threats.

> To the best of my knowledge, these aren't sanctions, just companies acting unilaterally to support Ukraine

Some of the sanctions ( like kicking out of SWIFT most Russian banks) make doing business in Russia extremely complicated, so even if there aren't direct sanctions forcing a pullout, they can indirectly have that effect.

We already know the key contributor: we eat enormously more sugar now than our parents did, and enormously less saturated fat.

Now that we know, with certainty, what a disastrous choice this was, it will take time to switch back. Most people are still convinced saturated fat is the bugaboo it has been painted as, and that sugar is A-OK, and government policy is still overwhelmingly directed that way.

What can be done with half the US maize crop (of what is left over after 1/3 has been diverted to make into alcohol to add to gasoline, enriching Archer Daniels Midland at taxpayer expense) when it is no longer enzymatically converted to sugar is an open question. Does the world want that much maize?

>DHH suspects that he was uninvited for political reasons and his stance on diversity.

To be clear, he was never uninvited. He has decided not to go because of a request for a joint keynote.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Carnage4Life/status/1499714921726...

The blog post DHH made also listed mostly work that he wasn't the primary contributor to (one of his contributions was primarily done by someone who left the community because of him!), and that didn't go over well.

As he escalates the drama he is largely seen as creating, people who have no interest in drama are leaving.
I think most software has stagnated because we have hit a wall in terms of user interface until AR/VR/Brain interface improves.

I have a few assorted goalposts:

* Where are the AR glasses? Google dropped the ball.

* I need to be able wave my hand to send things to other people's eyes.

* Most games still can't play at 60 fps, which is 2006-era tech.

* VR headsets are still poor quality.

* Cloud gaming still can't achieve < 1ms input delay. What's up with that? How am I going to post a multi-speedrun where a program randomly switches between game tabs?

* Interfaces in general are slow. There needs to be as little delay as possible between my thoughts/actions and the computer's response.

* Why can't an iPad simulate the sensation of texture? Tracing lines in sand with my finger on my phone was a cool webgl tech demo 10 years ago. Now I want to feel the sand.

* Self-driving cars still don't work.
Ya would also add smart contract auditing as possibly the highest billing right now. Pushes $400/hr for freelancing and similar w2 comp.
> DHH suspects that he was uninvite

He was not uninvited. He was simply asked to share the keynote with other people. Not an unreasonable request given how large the Rails community is.

> because he had "mostly been offline for the past year"

While poorly worded and not accurate (I assume they refer to him not engaging on Twitter or perhaps lack of communication with the Railsconf-people, but yeah he has clearly been online) this is not the reason for him being asked to share the keynote. The email says the committee has made the decision while him being offline, there is no reasoning given for it beyond just having more people doing the keynote than him.
I agree. Living by a greedy algorithm (living each moment like it is your last) might leave one with no retirement funds in case one doesn't die early.
