This may be technically true, but since I don't want to spend a lot of time messing with command line tools then it might as well not be.

Edit - To add a little context since that on reflection seems too dismissive...

I did try a whole bunch of things a while back, include several variations on xrandr stuff. I never did get to a place where all the following were true:

Both screens were operating at their maximum resolution
All app windows were appropriately sized (readable fonts, correctly scaled menu bars, etc.)
Neither screen was blurry due to scaling

I wouldn't swear it was impossible but with recent versions of Ubuntu under Wayland I could have all three without having to do anything at the command line.

I love the command line. I just don't find messing around with config to make the basic system stuff work properly edifying.
Yes. All new US passports require a scheduled, in-person appointment. Both paperwork and photo need to be printed and submitted in person along with originals or certified copies of identification and proof-of-citizenship. You have to swear all information to be correct and sign in the presence of a government worker.
Hy has closures. They work just like Python's.

(Common Lisp is super cool, though. Perhaps one day Hy will be as cool.)
I don’t see Apple claiming remote working is not good in general. They just don’t believe remote working is good for them.

And again, Turkey creating great drones does not require them to believe war is good.

This is a pretty straightforward logical fallacy.

They are working on improving it. I wrote a short little book on Hy and I initially used the “let” macro. I stopped using it because in general Hy code can be automatically translated to very readable Python code, but using the “let” macro generates ugly Python code.

Good idea; let's start by applying that incentive to the externalities generated by the fossil fuel industry first though, so that the playing field is fair.

Common Lisp is great, I'm sure, but it's a bit of a nonstarter for me because most of my work is Spark ETL and machine learning. I can theoretically sneak some hy in for low-visibility code but I can't do the same for Common Lisp.

> no closures in Hy last time I checked

I don't know when the last time you checked was, but as far as I can tell hy definitely has closures. It largely follows Python semantics, after all.
I see, I never have cream toppings so maybe that's that...
I really like mullvad's service too (wiregaurd)... My only issue is that is seems to have become increasingly difficult to access many websites through their servers.

I suppose this is inevitable to some degree with any VPN service, it's part of the deal for more privacy, you have to share an IP with potential sources of abuse. But it seems to have gotten really bad recently to the point that I end up server hoping throughout the day because different websites will have blocked different mullvad servers - to complicate matters some of their newer server IPs hosted by another company are misidentified as russian and blocked by many sites and services.

I'm not blaming Mullvad, but it's changed my use of their service from a set and forget to a constant reminder that i'm on a VPN... I don't know what the solution is beyond some crude cycling of IPs.
Several years ago I spent several days trying to get Resolve working on Linux and had absolutely no luck. More recently I found a script that would repackage the Resolve installer as a Deb package and that seemed to work pretty slick.

In my case, the machine I was trying to run it on just wasn't powerful enough.
It's not going to be great for art (comics). It will mostly help you discern colors in graphs and papers. For art you should definitely get a tablet for now. It's early days for color e-ink.
An analysis of those things would be very interesting. At a basic level, I appreciate the neutered ME and the killswitches, which already put the laptop at the front of the pack.
Went to install the package manually to try Hy out. Figured it was a niche/small enough language that it wouldn't have its own Doom module. I was wrong.

Yeah, renewables have gotten a lot cheaper. They weren't viable, but now they are, and waiting is a sunk cost.

I think it's unconscionable that we chose to emit ~20 gigatons of CO2 instead of pushing nuclear from 20% of our electric supply to 100% -- we would be there today if we had just kept up the pace -- but what's done is done. We killed nuclear and waited for renewables to become viable. We paid the price. The CO2 is in the air. Now we can move forward.

Reaction time and perception are different things not sure why author mixes them.. as a gamer having a ping of 14ms vs 90ms literally ruins competitive gaming. Pro players actually switched countries and cities to have better ping. Heck even getting a keyboard with less travel distance for each keys make a difference, just like how getting a mouse that has response rate of at least 1000hz. I have gone from typical desktop user to hardcore gaming user and each time latency improved it has helped by kd ratio directly. Even 5ms gains matter because worse case scenarios become less worse.. I notice everything above 20ms, but I used to not. One day I bought 140hz monitor it felt little better but not ground breaking I was almost disappointed. But then a week later I got to look at regular monitor, it looked like it was lagging constantly... Now I don't use my laptop because it looks so laggy now. I got used to faster frame rate.
The interesting bit about this kind of games is that you don't need state-of-the-art tech, and art at this point is mostly about choices, not necessarily about what's technically feasible. The best example is the usage of orchestral music, according to the post.

I mean, for an 2D adventure game, you are basically animating characters. The objective is to create something like an animation movie, in whatever art style you want. It doesn't need to push the tech in the same style that the first games where.

Which is great! I want them to be spending their efforts in the game, artwork, narrative, puzzles, jokes, etc, not on how to create a background that looks OK if you have an EGA screen and a recognisable melody in a PC speaker.

Whether is pixel art or not is irrelevant to me, as long as it's well drawn and animated. I just hope that they end with a fantastic result. I'll sure buy it and play it when it's out.
Given that this seems to be so straight-forward, why won't someone file a legal case or anything? (genuine question because for me, they're just calling for mob-justice otherwise)

Be Wary of ASUS Proart Displays. They have beautiful panels. But everything around them is a PITA.

1. Long bootup time. You are waiting 30 secs to see the ASUS logo and it to initialize.

2. M1 based machines have trouble initializing/re-initializing them after sleep. This is probably a bug in the monitor or maybe the M1 macs. Its annoying when you combine it with the previous issue because to fix this issue you have to switch to a different input or turn the monitor off and on once a day. I have resorted to setting my sleep delay to 3 hours to prevent it going to sleep.

3. The stands are not always the best: things can get wobbly if you are using a cheap table like an Ikea table.

4. The process of changing input can require multiple key presses depending on model.

5. Many of them have super thin bezels(apart from the large ASUS chin at the bottom): looks great but be careful as if you even place the panel gently face down for a second just to wipe the dust off the back you risk cracking the panel(ask me how I know).

6. Terrible speakers (I guess this was a given but i'll throw it in there)

....but they do ship beautiful panels.

On a side note: I am downright fed up with all these "youtube reviewers" never covering any of these quality of life features. I spend hundreds of dollars just to feel like chump when I get stuck with issues like this, none of which are ever discussed on Youtube. I have been burned so many times that I am considering just writing off their opinions altogether. Anyone else starting to feel like that?

Highly recommend. It's a great overview of Rust's ownership model and how to use things properly like enums and traits. Steve Klabnik is one of the authors if I recall correctly and he's been such a great resource for learning Rust.

> We should be governed by secular laws.

We are.

That is nonsense. Are you saying the state should be forbidden to (for instance) limit the operating hours of business on Sundays because that might align with the population's religious convictions?

The way should and does work is the motivations for a policy almost always don't matter, so long as the policy itself is constitutional. If the state can regulate store hours, then it can regulate them on any day as it sees fit.

I don't know you personally so I cannot pass a judgement, but my observation is that often the less smart people will interpret smarter people's ignorance and humility as stupidity. A _lot_ of interviewers (anybody actually) are like this.

> It's probably a unicorn. Any Android device I'd probably get distracted too often and wind up frustrated with how poorly the distractions run on e-ink.

I came here to tell you that you're correct, and that this is actually a good thing. Many apps try to be all encompassing, so you don't realize you're distracted by them and waste time. Having a subpar experience gives you many chances to get your focus back to where you wanted it to be. I use my Paperwhite basically for writing and, when I'm writing, I'm writing, and that's it. Everything else looks bad, so I don't get distracted as easily and, when I do, I can quickly go back to what I wanted to do. I even set my display to black and white from time to time when I'm not home.
I really liked Lightworks several years ago when I was evaluating all the video editing packages, except for the pricing structure at the time. It was really easy to pick up, and worked great under Linux.

My memory was at the time the only pricing option was a subscription model, and I don't do videos very frequently. I knew I'd be annoyed at paying $20/mo for the many months when I wasn't using it. More recently I've seen that they have a "buy outright" option for around $300, which I would have lept at back when I was first looking at it. But I've since moved on to Resolve.

Besides this, it's politically unteniable. Australia even just famously arranged to purchase US nuclear-powered subs - which require enriched fuel - without any capability to produce it or any intention of creating that capability. Their entire heavy maintenance and repower will need to and is planned to occur in the US.
This is a big rabbit hole to go down, but you can't entirely ignore Everett's many-worlds interpretation with a "not falsifiable" claim. The nature of probability is an important one to ponder.

There is some evidence that the OpenAI GPT-3 APIs have a human in the loop for bad examples. They may also have a number of filters to exclude certain words/patterns/other rules.

The challenge with such rule and human in the loop systems is that the long-tail of these problems is huge, and fat. Meaning that you generally can't make a product which doesn't have full generalization. That it took ~1.5 years to open the GPT-3 API inclines me to think that they've run into similar problems. We're also not seeing the long pitched swarm of GPT enabled content despite the API being open for ~10 months.

Adacore | Software Engineers | Full-time | Remote, New-York, Paris, Bristol, Toulouse, Tallin, Grenoble, Vannes...

Adacore is the maintainer of GNAT, the Ada compiler originally based on GCC (but now with many more backends: LLVM, Why3, JVM...). We also have a lot of tools revolving around the Ada ecosystem (IDEs, Coverage tools, Static Analyzers, Formal proof tooling...), everything we build is open-source and we make money by providing support, trainings, certifications...

We are looking for a lot of different profiles:

- GNU toolchain developpers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/gnu-toolchain-developer-... )

- Rust Project Managers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/rust-project-manager-ed9... )

- Devsecops people ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/senior-software-develope... )

- Infrastructure Software Engineers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/infrastructure-software-... )

- Simulink Certification Engineers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/certification-engineer-s... )

- QA Release Engineers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/qa-release-engineer-ed94... )

- Web Designers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/web-designer-ed9948804 )

- Sales managers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/european-sales-manager-e... )

- IT Assets project managers ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/it-assets-project-manage... )

- Digital Communication Executive ( https://app.hellotalent.com/vacancy/digital-communications-e... )

Some of these roles involve working with Ada, some don't (we use a lot of different programming languages: Ada, C, C++, Python, Ocaml...), so it's fine to apply even if you don't know the language!
PyPy won't be a candidate in some scenarios (nor is it always that much faster), and even libraries written in C leave some performance on the table when Python is the glue language. Don't get me wrong, I'm hardly ever in a position where Python limits me from a performance perspective ... there's always Cython. But it could be better.
It's pretty notorious for not working.

With few exceptions, all stocks are correlated to the broad market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_(finance)

One explanation that would be popular right now is that the price of stocks can be calculated based on expected future cash flows and interest rates (e.g. think of what you'd pay for a bond that produces the same csh flow.) Since the interest rate is a factor in that calculation for all stocks, there's a correlation right there.

The exceptions tend to be sketchy. At one time it was thought that gold mining stocks would move against the market, but what I heard was that gold mining firms are badly run and if you like gold you should just buy gold.

Sportballs is silly? Sure. Compare it to the gladiatorial games in ancient Rome? Sure. Calling people who like American football dumb? Not okay.

Watching football is as dumb as playing D&D, fixing cars, listening to music(1), etc. People get invested in things they like and can get just as "nerdy" about it as any programmer into designing programming languages.

I have the 10" model from last year and battery life is a blast compared to any tablet whatsoever. Days and weeks before charging. It does have Android and it works well, but also, it's not great for everything you'd do with a tablet. Games, videos, anything with a fast input or refresh rates is going to be a poor experience. Reading is great though. Keep in mind they also violate FOSS licenses which is a deal breaker to a lot of people.

I have gone through so many devices and setups trying to find an ebook situation that makes sense. Kindle, Book, different sizes. Fantasy of reading Instapaper and PDFs and comics and stuff, not just ebooks, and having it not be a huge pain in the ass.

What I have found is that for me, ebook readers are good for ebooks and ebooks only. And just normal ebooks; PDFs stink on every e-ink device (including 12" devices I've used).

So my current setup is that my 12.9" iPad Pro is my "everything" reader since it's the only no-compromise device (PDFs and comics at full size) and it has the apps I need.

I now try to use my phone more for ebooks, and took social media off it. We'll see how that goes. Now that Kindles will automatically convert ePubs to KFX via sent-to-kindle maybe I will try that again, if KFX files can actually live in your personal documents library. (You can't sync sideloaded books with the Kindle unless they're in the terrible MOBI format.)
> Both Hare and Zig fix "C's Biggest Mistake": https://www.digitalmars.com/articles/C-biggest-mistake.html.

I think any new language (including Rust, Go, Nim, etc) that wants to displace C should not be trying to fix C's biggest mistake, it should be trying to replicate C's biggest success: simplicity.

Hence the growing popularity of Go as a C replacement. I look at Zig and Nim, and they look like viable replacements too.

Time will tell.
