Those are only for dumb power supplies using resistors to signal max amount. Negotiated power is very granular.

> additionally, people are complaining about not being able to tell cables apart. can they tell the power requirements and calculate how much power a combination of devices requires?

If they don't know device power levels they can just learn what can simultaneously go on a single port when they try, like with USB 2.

Breast milk is a better alternative when a viable alternative... I know that mother-guys that can't produce milk would probably not agree and that some moms work too much...
Qt is solid, no doubt. But it's rather high level and bloated. Plus the company appears to be actively be trying to pull away from open source.
At the risk of turning this entire comment section into RTO debate, I want to sorta second this.

RTO will be so much easier when the job market is flooded with failed start-up engineers and the tech industry cools off.

Careful, this bear market is different from 2008 and 2020 in that the fed is not intervening to help the market. In both of those downturns the fed did it's best to keep the market from falling apart. This time it's trying to slow the economy down. Which makes it hard to pick a bottom since the fed will continue to raise interest rates as long as there's a problem with inflation.

I believe that the market will eventually come back but trying to time it is next to impossible. I would get in but I would cost average over a 6 month period. Or a period you feel comfortable with.
I think they're point out that when you're making millions of dollars a year you have an incentive to get a little reckless to try to eek out better and better returns. Sure you want to keep the gravy train moving, but if you're worth $50 million, and you the have the choice between playing it safe for $2 million, or rolling the dice and maybe making another $50... you're probably not going to be dissuaded because it's a pension fund's money.

You've already got yours so what's the worst that can happen?
Landmarks are great, especially something like a Clock Tower, Water Tower, etc., but things like Starbucks, and others come and go out of business. MacDonalds is an exception in that they own their real estate and are unlikely to move. But many others can lose their lease and become something new.
Interesting value proposition, somewhat reminiscent of both Brave and Tor Browser. The main distinguishing feature seems to be a "News Feed" that allows you to activate or deactivate sources individually, but I don't see how it is really different from other aggregators like Google News or Flipboard.

This sort of thing has made most multiplayer VR games completely unplayable for me. The only viable solution to hordes of screaming ultra-toxic kids quite literally surrounding you is to put up with it until your rank/ELO gets high enough to solve the problem via matchmaking.

Horizon Worlds is actually not quite as bad as the average third-party game. Ironically, I think this is the one unintended positive outcome of Facebook control - if you get a week ban on Horizon, you’re also banned from all Facebook properties. And not just the web properties, it seems that you also lose access to your entire Oculus library.

Is that a good thing? Probably not, but it seems to be the only thing out there in the VR space with enough teeth to make a tangible difference.
Let alone trying to get the center section with the 3 columns to fill the available window space. Ugh… So glad those days are over.

Oh yeah, the virtual "anonymous"(for whatever value of anonymity) public is not a nice place.

Even in face-to-face interactions I have a rule that 1 in twenty people are guaranteed jerks. But online? 50/50.

And in a PvP environment like CS?... 9 out of 10. I always hope I am wrong, and am pleasantly surprised when I am, but I don't have high expectations.
Left or Right?
Yjs and Automerge are not patch formats. They are CRDT libraries. You are comparing apples and oranges. If you want to send Yjs or Automerge patches over the network, you still need a patch format.
Wow, I never knew! Thanks for explaining.
Anytime I hear repl.it I get annoyed by the time their CEO was threatened by and shut down an ex-employee’s weekend project

And CompuServe wasn't even the Internet. It, like AOL, was a glorified bulletin-board system. AOL tacked Internet access on as an afterthought.

I remember getting personal developer support from Microsoft on CompuServe in the early '90s. MS engineers would actually send us some of their internal tools to investigate bugs. We helped them fix stuff in ODBC, and they gave us good support while we built what was, at the time, the biggest Visual C++ project they were aware of.

Obviously this kind of interaction is impractical today, but there must be some middle ground between it and what we currently see: companies shamefully abusing and hiding from their customers.
I get what he’s saying though. There can be great joy and a positive feeling of “losing yourself” in your work when you actually get to create. I think his role and and the internal bureaucracy prevented him from using that creative energy.
The assumption that locking a few fresh CS grads and a business major in room will produce a successful company is pretty wild.
No, they don't. It's a separate entity.
I think GP's point isn't that he's violating SE's license, but that he has almost two million videos with new ones uploaded about every three minutes. And his videos are constantly recommended to GP.

This is probably a holdover of some Old English phonological features.

This company is crooked. Bought a car through them and the 7 day “test ownership” process is flawed. It confuses the RMV and insurance companies leaving you on the hook for fees on a car you tested and didn't keep.

Plus, their certified preowned is worthless. They dropped a used car off in the same condition as they picked it up from the previous owner, and let me waste time fixing issues under their 90 day warranty.

First car shook badly during acceleration, obvious drivetrain problems. Second car did not even pass state inspection, and they already sold my trade so now I’m stuck with it?

On top of that, they took 45 days to pay off the loan on my trade-in, and underpaid it. They sneakily pulled another 10-day pay off quote 45 days after taking my trade and stiffed me out of 2 months of payments made to keep the old loan in good standing.

Absolutely horrible experience. Hope they go under completely.
If you have a proxy, cache, or middlebox in your network, and you use DELETE to mean "remove this key from the JSON object" your proxy won't know that, and will happily delete the entire resource, and tell everyone else that the resource has been deleted, and then your data will disappear, and that's not very fun.
>>are you trying to insinuate Tiger Global's managers were negligent/reckless with the money?

From the article.

=>Tiger Global’s hedge fund assets have been so hard hit that the outfit has in four months erased about two-thirds of its gains since its launch in 2001.

=> that’s just twice the return they would have received by investing in the S&P 500 over the same 21-year period

Not sure how to interpret these numbers.
The most enraging thing is buying a product on Amazon, only to get the following options for delivery:

* Same-day/Overnight

* 2-3 days later

Why not deliver it the next day, when the Amazon vans are performing their milk runs? Instead they have to send some poor Flex driver out to my property at 4 AM in his personal car and hope he doesn't trip and fall on a rock or something. Yet I still see the vans driving around later that day.
I think they meant that once they realized their work was unsatisfying they wanted to change it. The “working late and on weekends” was a way of showing their new excitement for the role.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. But I do agree the conclusion for leaving being work life balance seems incorrect.

I leave an ancient tomtom (which had lifetime map updates that stopped after ~10 years when they said the HW wasn't supported anymore) in the glove box of my truck when i'm traveling the back roads of the USA, where cellphone coverage doesn't exist and google doesn't know the difference between a fire road, and a rancher's driveway. Its self contained and more than once I've fired it up when google was non responsive or tried to route me through a farmer's pasture with a locked gate or through an unmaintained fire road.

So self contained is definitely a strength, and I suspect that old tomtom will still be tossing out routes in 10-15 years when we all have 7G cell modems in our cars leaving all the 4G/5G ones disconnected as has been happening with the 2G ones from 10 years ago.

But the other end of the problem here is that these systems simply aren't designed properly anymore. Hence the reliance on cell modems, updates, etc. 22 years ago the two primary Linux Architectures in use today didn't even exist (amd64 and aarch64). Will the linux of 2040 even run on anything we have available today? Will the reactjs of 2040 fit in the puny 8G of RAM (or whatever) a modern car/linux machine might ship with?

I would say no, nothing seems to be turning the less efficient software boat, as we steadily head down into ever more layers of software abstraction using ever more inefficient technologies.

Anyway, my point is that the phone upgrade is basically required to run the lastest google/apple maps because that is the treadmill we are on. If you stop upgrading eventually you get dropped. I tried booting an ipad2 a couple years back, and while it booted, it had stopped getting OS updates, and the first thing it did was basically wipe out pretty much every single app, or in some cases leave them there in various dysfunctional states. I might have been able to repurpose it as a ebook reader if I was willing to crack the DRM/etc on them and load them manually.. Other than that, paperweight.

PS: Delorme Atlases are the real answer to shady GPS routing, I keep them in the glove box too :)
If you're on OpenBSD then you're likely a person that skews more towards security on a security/usability spectrum than the average person. May I ask why you'd prefer passwords or magic links over WebAuthn with something like a Yubikey that's permanently attached to your Thinkpad?
Ok yeah I could see a problem if you had a gas fired oven. I cook electric, as long as I don’t burn the food the detectors don’t care.
>Eastern traditions have solved this a long time back

Have they? I don't think I've ever heard anything sane, let alone good regarding Japan when it comes to work life balance.
The registry is as much a database as it is a very large config file, and config files, as you've rightly observed, have comments.
The loses are from their hedge fund. The article is about the venture funds and hedge fund.
That may be so, but the business of online used car sales seems to me like a scam on the face of it.

No matter how much they insist you can return a car you don't like, it obviously is just a manipulative way to get people to commit more, and earlier, and without negotiating, compared to the conventional method of buying a used car.

If it's a good business to be in, that's because they can sell worse cars for higher prices, and that's all. X% more in profit, systematically.

Somewhere, there were people saying "hmm, how can we brainwash people into not negotiating and settling for the first car they test drive?" Because that's been the ideal for dealers since the beginning of time.

Operational problems, if so, are the cherry on top. I suppose that unexpected falling-off of wheels happens when you start to run out of suckers.
Carvanas pricing was ridiculous. They would offer top dollar. Alue without ever really seeing the car. I think it was very heavily algorithm driven, and wasn't being watched enough by human eyes to looks for anomalies, or just to look at a car and realize that maybe they are offering too much. They have made some sellers very happy with the money they were offering for used cars, but I really think they have been overpaying for a good chunk of thier inventory.
Do you have actual reason to believe Tiger Global did this, or this all baseless speculation?
"Balance" can mean "all things equal" but when talking about work-life balance I think it means that your work and non-work time combine to produce optimal satisfaction. For some people, if they derive a large amount of satisfaction from their work, that may mean that a more demanding job provides better "balance" in their life.
I would expect a basic hub to do 5Gbps or 10Gbps. No need for 40.

> USB-C is a comically poorly designed human interface.

You can blame alt modes, but the port itself is fine and when used for pure USB the issues are quite minor.
Since no browsers limit your freedom to choose your own search engines, news feeds, etc., I’m not sure I understand a real purpose here. Feels like the Freedom Phone, more of a grift launcher to take advantage of the users. Believers are the most easily suckered. That is, however, my own uncharitable take and I won’t be investing time and energy looking at the info it captures and uploads on its own. It better load conservative web sites like Parler, Truth Social, Frank and others flawlessly.
> Because the registry is a database. Why would you put comments in a database?

A database stores whatever data is necessary for the application. If comments for application records are needed, that includes comments.

A self-documenting registry where applications registered user information about keys that they used (whether or not the application populated them) as well as apps populating data for keys, so that navigating to a key in the UI would provide you with the documentation from any app or apps concerned with that key as well as the ability to review and edit the data value would be awesome.
This idea is also the recommended workaround for JSON, and it is equally wrong there. For one thing, then you can only comment the key/folder/object, not the individual value.
It'll be great for every business's back to office plans. If we really are entering a major tech downturn, employers are going to be in the driver's seat in a way that will have the HN "I would never ever work for a corporation that requires in-office/leetcode/etc." crowd reeling.
I don't see a fundamental conflict between the ACLU's core beliefs and offering legal aid to a woman accusing her ex-husband of domestic violence. (Although I'll readily admit I don't see much reason for ACLU to get involved either.)
I'm pretty surprised that works for display passthru, especially for multiple displays. My impression had been that most TB/USB-C docks provide their display interfaces by internally being a PCIe graphics card.
It means the same as for other languages. The doubling is commonplace but not exclusively used for all onomatopoeia. Japanese uses doubling of words in other situations and has a special repetition character when the first part is written in kanji to simplify writing them.
Only if it also has a restaurant that serves food primarily for eating on premises. The bakery in masterpiece cake shop might have incidentally had a restaurant, I don’t remember, but a wedding cake caterer ordinarily wouldn’t fall under the Civil Rights Act.

And if strip clubs are free speech, baking custom cakes is definitely free speech: https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/rhode-island-supreme-c...
Why shouldn't ACLU be involved in politics? Isn't Civil Rights all about politics? If you are fighting for civil rights you must also support politicians who support civil rights. No?
If it causes errors in monetary calculations that can hardly be described as an edge case.
I imagine the toxic method of action is similar with zinc oxide, but it hasn't been widely used in food. Or maybe it has?
California makes it more difficult in that the salary required for a home pushes you past thresholds for financial aid. You might be what’s known as “house poor” but the university sees the house as an asset that counts towards a high net worth. There are even some prestigious private universities offering “no tuition for families making less than $150k (or thereabouts)”.
SFTP seems like a way more obvious and simpler approach.

Both these can be true at the same time

- A large percentage of Tiger Global is pension fund money

- Pension funds have an extremely small % of their portfolio in Tiger or other high risk high tech investments vehicles.

Because pension funds are so big.
Right. Everyone could simultaneously choose to never travel and it might make a romantic, but not actually impactful dent in the climate apocalypse story.
I can appreciate the presence of USB 2.0 as I have experienced issues with RF/noise on USB 3.

Wireless headphones… wireless mice… so yeah all 2.4ghz transceivers basically… lossy garbage connections have me tracing down old USB 2.0 ports on my PCs still today.
> but middle managers are clever enough to word OKRs in a way that makes them all think they’re getting what they want.

I chuckled at this one. Middle managers gonna middle manage.

I know a lot of this behavior is simply due to the position in which they are where senior managers and execs wont take no for an answer. But you have to make tough choices: If you don’t believe deep down that you can deliver, push back hard rather than playing games.
Coinbase says India central bank’s ‘informal pressure’ prompted trading halt
It's not false. You're confusing stated preferences vs. revealed preferences. People might say they want to enshrine their legal right to abortion or that they don't want people to get tax breaks for investing in depressed areas, but they don't do anything that would actually make those preferences a reality (i.e. elect candidates based on those issue who will enact the policies people say they want). So when it comes down to it, people do not actually want those things enough to take the actions necessary to make them happen.

Good question. I don't know how international commerce worked in the days before credit cards.
Yeah, pika is more of an ID system vs. prefixed-api-key which seems to be more oriented around just API keys, which makes sense. However, advantages of timestamps in IDs are that you can create unique IDs based on the current timestamp; bits which, in other ID systems, are usually just random - which feels like a waste imo. Also, knowing when a resource was created when debugging is very helpful.
> Enough equity that if I’m right about what Replit can become, I’ll come out ahead of staying at Google.

This is why it is so hard to financially justify working for a startup. To cover the risk requires large outsized gains. And financially the 15 percentage points drop in salary could easily be say a 50% drop in disposable income.

Yet the pleasure is worth the price.

And the above ignores any longer hours (I personally struggle to value my time or satisfaction, in either dollars or opportunity costs).
War with the US is a different matter, we’d respond. I perceive Musk to be somewhat of a dick, but he’s our dick.

They could mess with him, destroy something of his, or steal some of Musk’s jewelry and see how meek they can get him to be.
I’ve struggled with this problem in a large organization as well. Even when it was shown that the resumes being submitted were mostly fake (that is, the majority of the contents were copied verbatim from random resumes on popular resume aggregation sites) the bigger issue was fixing the overall talent pipeline. If the vendors don’t care, and your vendor management doesn’t care, and your HR doesn’t care, then all the tech to detect a fake resume _probably_ won’t help you. IME there didn’t seem to be a lot of inclination or incentive for people to address the root of the problem, but hopefully you have more success.
But this is disingenuous (at best) marketing speak - the 25% IRR is blended over the entire fund.

LPs enter at different times into Fund 1, 2, 3, up to Fund 15 now. As an LP, your specific fund that you entered primarily determines your returns (depends on structure, there can be some blending). If Fund 13 invested into a bunch of failing businesses that group gets hurt massively.

So while 25% IRR is very fantastic, that's not the full story. There are specific Fund numbers that are getting great returns and others absolutely bleeding.
