> The fact that you need to dial as far back as 1930s to find a climate worse than what we have now (just so you can say "I betcha you didn't know about that stuff!") would seem to indicate... that there's not a lot substance to this argument.

I listed examples from the 1990s though, not just the 1930s. The moral panics of the 1980s and 1990s provides a ripe set of examples, if you’re interested in more.

There is also the radical change that social media and the internet has brought since the 1990s. And one of the great advents that things like Twitter has brought is the ability to get an audience and to speak anonymously if one so wishes. This has been an incredible boon to free speech, and it’s kind of frustrating that people aren’t treating it like the miracle that it is.

> Are we in a worse place than the darkest decades of the 20th century? Or even half as bad of place? Of course not. That doesn't that the current climate hasn't deteriorated substantially over the last 15 years or so. Or that some aspects of it aren't reminiscent of the darker times that you are referencing.

How, precisely are we worse off than the 1990s? Be specific, please. All these arguments break down to hand waving over how free speech has broken down, and yet nobody ever provides any evidence, only vague assertions and feelings.

Mean while I personally see the alt right out chanting things that were unthinkable in the 1990s. It is very hard for me to square the idea that free speech is worse off with the alt right openly saying racist and bigoted things.
ps is a shell builtin in Nu (and you can check that with `which ps`).

Going from Nu to raw text is currently a little awkward. `str collect (char nl)` will take a Nu list of strings and convert it to raw text with line breaks. I suspect we'll get a more ergnomic way to do this soon.

Going to Nu from raw text is nicer, the built-in `lines` command splits line-break-delimited text into a list of strings. From there you can use lots of Nu tools to operate on each line.
How to Deploy, Manage and Scale Node.js Applications with PM2
Yeah I think mindfulness is not about ignoring your problems. It's more about not letting your mind wander unnecessarily. I think this is our gift and curse as humans--we can plan for the future and reminisce on the past, which enables great achievements, but tied up with this kind of 'time traveling' thinking are emotions like anxiety, sadness, disappointment. So if we could somehow just be efficient calculating machines we wouldn't need this philosophy.

(Although lately I've been realizing that if we were just cold calculating machines maybe we wouldn't have complex drives and passions, so probably emotions are not just an extraneous 'curse', and are part of why we do what we do.)
> Which is a bargain, really, considering they're reported to have >90% effectiveness against Russian tanks that cost, what, 100x more? Asymmetric warfare.

I don't disagree and know there are good reasons for the price (e.g. high reliability, complex with low production volumes compared to similar civilian goods). It's just kind of mind-boggling that a small consumable item like that is so expensive. According to Wikipedia a Javelin is even more at $240,000.
>>I'd hate to see how that works in a large project - like SpaceX where teams have to build things.

I'm not sure using SpaceX is the best example here given that they were (still are?) notorious for their grueling work hours [1][2]. If anonymous social media posts and Glassdoor reviews are at least a rough proxy, it seems that the hours are still long but trending down from 80-100hrs per week to something "more sane" like 50-60hrs per week [3].

I've loved VR since I first tried it and I still love it.

> There's no killer app for VR

We'll end up quibbling about the definition of "killer app" but I think there's dozens killer apps for VR. If you mean "an app that will make it as popular as the smartphone" then you're right. But that's a strangely high bar. If you mean "an app that is compelling enough to sell a reasonably large number of headsets" then that definitely already exists. (but then we can enjoy quibbling about what "reasonably large" means)
Considering all the "--watch" and "watch" options and scripts that come with many default tools (jest, react-boilerplate etc), it is considered a problem to many.

For me it is a serious nag. And I come from Ruby, where, with Rails, startup time is abysmal. So I am used to something.

An Intro to Bitcoin that doesn't make you sleepy
All of the black holes we know for sure exist (those produced by supernovae) are predicted to dissolve so slowly that it would take thousands of years or perhaps even millions of years of observation to produce any data on Hawking radiation.

If small black holes can actually form (which is currently just a theory) there may be some chance to observe and measure them dissolving. However, I believe this requires energies far higher than any particle collider we can expect to build in the next hundred years, so this avenue is also closed.

So, perhaps "never" is a bit pessimistic, but not far off in human terms.
> See the phrase "lost in translation". Even something as little as "no worries" without translation can still be lost in translation culture.

Exactly. You may know the word for 'worry' or 'worries', but you may not know the word for 'no'. And in that moment you could be misinterpreting the intentions and actions/words of a person who only told you 'don't worry'. Meanwhile, you are big worrying.
As far as I understand, the reason the credit system already does not do this is due to friction with integrating data. All the small landlords probably do not have access to credit reporting bureaus, and there is probably a lot of hassle to report and verify information.

Of course, that friction has greatly been reduced due to computers and internet, so it is possible to get a more granular look at people’s ins and outs to more precisely establish credit.

I think checking accounts or an equivalent should basically be a government utility at this point, available to all.

> I think you can mostly ignore the technobabble without issues, most of the time it's here for the setting but not necessary

I agree that its largely ignorable. Actually, the "technobabble" adds a lot of flavor and "coolness" to a lot of situations, so its fine for my reptilian brain.

The issue is that every minute of technobabble on the screen is another wasted minute from a storytelling perspective. When you watch a denser film (like Secret of Kells), that's lacking any of that techno-babble... or even something like Fate/Stay (which largely cuts out the techno-magic babble aside from a few key phrases), the storyline is heavier and denser. More things "happen" because there's less "filler technobabble" going on.

So when we talk about pleasing my "higher-order" brain (as opposed to my reptile brain which is pleased with the technobabble + explosions), my high-order brain enjoys the character interactions and the deeper analogies to the human condition.

-------

So from the "higher-order" perspective, something like Tokyo Godfathers can tell a fuller story in a shorter amount of time, because there's less technobabble eating up the screentime.
The issue is likely that in Qubes OS you don't have hardware acceleration. The bottleneck might very well be single thread performance, though your tips are worth a try.

For me it depends on the specifics of the video, usually ~10 Mbit/s 1080p x264 and YouTube at 1080p is mostly ok, but I don't even need to try 2160p content. (i5-9500T)
Grandpa story time!

My first job was at Imagination Technologies in 2006, working on the first SGX chips that shipped in the iPhone 3GS and the first iPad. I did not last long.

At that time the folks at Apple would send us mockup UI apps with placeholder textures, just to test the performance on the chip. They told us they were building the next generation of the Apple TV -- only much later we learned we had been working on the first iPad.

Working there was a pretty surreal experience. We were understaffed and underpaid. To a first approximation the teams consisted of a core group of British engineers alongside with a revolving door of young European immigrants like myself.

Every Friday morning we would be offered free doughnuts in the canteen, and since the nicest ones were in short supply, some people would arrive early and wait. The coffee came from a vending machine and was terrible, though.

There were some heroic efforts to ship stuff on time, especially on the hardware side of things. I have mad respect for the people who worked there under those circumstances.
Is it really though? Are engineers committing so frequently that they can't make it through a few hours without Github?
Other times I might agree with you, but it’s hard to be pretentious when you’re talking about Fermat. The guy was such a badass in so many ways… For God’s sake he wasn’t even a mathematician if I recall correctly he had a day job.
I felt the book was a bit hand-wavy this way. It all sounds ok, but there did not seem to be a bunch of practical advice.
This is the crux of what we're seeing play out.

Next, rubles will be backed by gold/silver -- and then we officially mark the start of a new world order.
Yeah I remember I tried looking into this and I gave up on it. Iirc I couldn't understand exactly how it worked, and/or it seemed like a large time investment. Not to mention how I manage it in a repository if I can't safely move anything in and out of dom0?

Qubes I think could benefit from more resources for ramp-up documentation.
You can also just install Flatpak on Ubuntu and never think about Snap ever again if you so choose. Someone putting forth effort to maintain their own bespoke repository isn't really that big a deal.

In 10 years the "Ubuntu Store" will be a pretty frontend on top of Flatpak just like Gnome Software, and just like every NIH Canonical product made before it.

The Oculus Go was a 3DOF headset. That's basically a glorified 360 movie viewer.

6DOF is the absolute bare minimum and I feel we should have reserved the term "VR" specifically for 6DOF devices. The immersion just isn't there without positional tracking.

And positional tracking with the controllers is another huge factor. So - I would argue you've never really tried "real VR".
Yeah, I think we're on the same page. The primary focus of my original reply was that the "how" really does matter. I agree that this is still a breach regardless.
Mortgage rates are already over 5% for many, and the avg is around 4.8%. This is today, not in the future, if you haven't been paying attention.

And the 10y is far below where it will likely settle. So 5-5.5% mortgage is pretty much a given within the next few months barring a sudden collapse in inflation

Buying a house is fighting the fed now. They are trying to quell inflation and will very likely start selling MBS into the market next month to push mortgages rates even higher.

Don't fight the fed works both ways. And don't even look at the inflation adjusted home price chart... Hint, they are far above the 2000s peak

(111) Is OAuth supported?

OAuth for Gmail is supported via the quick setup wizard. The Android account manager will be used to fetch and refresh OAuth tokens for selected on-device accounts. OAuth for non on-device accounts is not supported because Google requires a yearly security audit ($15,000 to $75,000) for this. You can read more about this here.

When I was using Android without Google Play, I was not allowed to access my School's email due to this.

They have also been locking down "insecure web apps" from being able to log into Google Accounts, so it makes it much more difficult for browsers other than Firefox or Chrome (e.g. browsers on Mobile Linux Phones) to sign into Google.
What I was thinking of was more like a linear shift feedback register. It has zero inputs and outputs random bits, thanks to its non-trivial internal state.

Or as we were saying, a register. Could for example be a function which takes a read/write flag and a value, writes the value to the internal state if write flag is set, and returns the internal value.

edit: In my softcore I have a function to read/write registers, it modifies global state rather than internal state so would not be pure either.

edit2: I guess my point is, for me "state" is something that is non-trivial, and retained between invocations. Your example is trivial and not retained (it's completely overwritten always).
Blockchains aren't a replacement for cloud storage. Storing a yacht in a mailbox would probably get expensive too.

Does Gitea support some kind of federation / cross-instance PRs? That's the main thing I'd miss from a self-hosted instance, the ease of getting contributions.

After all, you don't even need Gitea for pure Git hosting. If you have a server with SSH access, just init a bare repo in a directory, push to that, and you're ready to go. No web UI needed.

The reason I'm still using GitHub is not code hosting. It's collaboration.
If it is that bad than isn't the responsible thing to tell people: "Move along folks there is nothing to see here?"
Hey I like this. Can you make a powershell one?!
I just don't see VR going mainstream for gaming. I think there is a certain degree of tactile feedback that gamers look for when gaming that they get from a controller or a keyboard and mouse. It will reach a niche audience and I think that most likely be millennials.

It will never work for greybeards like me with Vertigo ;)
This is awesome to hear. I'm just confused... when the rover landed there was an interview where NASA explicitly stated that the rover would drive away from the copter after 30 days whether the flights were successful or not. Does anyone know when/why that plan changed?
> screen scraping after requesting your account credentials

Sounds very odd. Handing your log in credentials to anyone is against the rules not to mention common sense. Even the bank itself will never ask for that. My bank's website has warnings about this right on the front page.
That doesn't apply here: all these scripts do is shell out to some other binary. Any performance cost of using node or other binary is going to be exactly the same. It's 200-300ms regardless of what the underlying script does.

The devil on my shoulder wonders if Canonical's pushing of Snap, rather than adoption of FlatPak, is another instance of the Not-Invented-Here organizational dysfunction that led it to slog on with its own Bazaar SCM rather than switch to Git (or Mercurial).
> Your initial comment seems very unfair to them and could misguide some people.

Agreed, alas I cannot edit it anymore.

I was wrong in my understanding as to how the 'mystery meat' got into the flow. Having looked at the AdoptOpenJDK repos it's clear they do their work in the open. That's no guarantee, but is the best choice over the long term. And a JVM is a long term thing.
> They are completely devoid of any basis.

No pal, that's just you and your inability to accept that you may not know everything there is to know, and so you cannot accept that these play on words may carry wisdom in them that you are not aware of yet, or just haven't quite cognized.

And pal... Duality is in almost nearly everything. It's not language specific. It's universe specific. In our reality, there is generally almost always an equal and opposite to everything. If you don't know what somethings equal or opposite is yet, you just have yet to find it. This seems to be true regardless of whoever argues, because all it takes is time to find that proof.

Even Time has its own equal and opposite. Space. Through time you travel when moving through space, but in space you can travel through time as well by not moving at all...

So yeah, it's not even a case of you being too literal. You are just being obtuse or ignorant. Maybe even arrogant. But not too literal.
That's nice but where can I read about it?
Lower-income people are also worried about the economy. In fact, if I'm reading that graph correctly, the brief period where high-income people were the only people not worried about the economy has now ended.

Not really surprising given the sharp disconnection of a large chunk of the world's economy and the blockading and shelling of a smaller part.

Nix fails the "don't make me think" test unfortunately. Flatpak is winning because you can head-empty dump a working application into it and it will work. Nix requires discipline on the part of the packager which will never scale.
Yep. Mantis has announced intent to continue maintaining the docker shim (which allows k8s to talk to docker programmatically, but I can't imagine many people switching the default to docker unless they are manually installing k8s on their nodes, which used to be common but no longer is.
> 'you don't have Javascript authors saying "you need to work out what you want in this other paradigm and then translate it"'

Well, React with the hooks API has basically become that. You need to imagine your code first as computational effects triggered by state dependencies in an implicit stack, and then you translate that into a language where all of that must be represented as either calling functions or passing functions around.
What's "the db"? It sounds like something of small to medium scale if you can just restart it like that.

In any case, why not just relocate some vendor engineers on site for a bit? Or, better, why does the vendor not have a small presence in the corner?

Sounds like whatever "the db" is it's probably some (objectively) small but very scary thing that's currently on fire and people are trying to figure out how to put it out without crashing the plane and also making too many waves internally, which is probably even harder. So asking about making vendor noises is (as useful as it may be) probably going down the wrong path - in much the same way this is probably not related to the outages (it may well be, but from the outside it's all coincidence anyway).
I got the first Oculus Rift dev kit not too long after it came out and I got the first version of the HTC Vive.

I find it hard to talk about VR as some monolithic thing. When I first tried it, I felt the same "wow, this is the future!" feeling most enthusiasts got. The stutters and the weird headaches then made me add "...but not the present".

But my personal issues with it are both surmountable and not shared by everyone. On the hardware side, the depth-of-focus issue must be solved somehow, and graphics processing must improve a lot on both the hardware and software side in order to eliminate any stutters (IMO any frame drop or framerates below 90 are unacceptable, again, my personal issue), image sharpness must match real-world screens at a reasonable distance (at least where I'm looking at) and when it comes to games, unfortunately anything that tries to look realistic still looks like mid-2000s graphics in VR.

Plus the headset must be comfortable to wear for at least 8h at a time, and there needs to be good full-body tracking, although for a virtual workplace that's not so important.

I'd probably spend all of my work and play time in VR if these things were solved, and I could totally see that happening in the next few years, the way things are going.

Unless the only good option is Facebook, in which case, I'll pass.
So I can safely assume that no binary trees were inverted in the creation of this?
I wonder if susceptibility to accept VR as more "reality" than "virtual" is something that varies per person. All of the VR I've tried has felt completely unforced. I accepted it all immediately.
The page explains the “terms” as: “Sequoia will invest $1M in the form of equity to participating companies at the start of the program.”

I guess that’s neither the terms (I mean, that’s all?) nor are they investing “in the form of equity”. Or does my startup get $1M worth of shares? That would be novel.

In general, Julia has similar performance characteristics to other fast compiled languages (Fortran/C++). There are some performance differences do to different semantics (eg bounds checks by default), but Julia is good about giving you the ability to opt out of these easily. There are also definitely places where Julia makes it a lot easier to get better code by making it a lot easier to use better algorithms, so in general, simple Julia code tends to be similar/better performance than Fortran/C++, and optimized Julia code tends to be about the same speed as Fortran/C++, but with 10x less code.
