"Assign" as in open an application on a specific desktop. Windows 11 kind of got that (automatically, unfortunately no manual control) for multiple monitors, but macOS has it for virtual desktops too. It'd be even better if it supported something more explicit like i3 layout loading, but it can probably be combined with fancyzones at that point to get that working reasonably well.

macOS also has a way to treat an application (or two, with a split view) as a virtual desktop, where the shell disappears and wouldn't allow you to open additional windows on that desktop. I particularly want this seperation because I put VMs on different desktops, but because the shell is there I inevitably have to drag over some windows that opened on that desktop over after a few hours of mindless use.

$10,000 to split a video signal into quarters? They got fleeced.

And how is this even a story? They took a video signal and split it into quarters. What am I supposed to be surprised or impressed by?
I think par2 just uses a list of hashes to determine if it needs to do some error correction.

Though I do see the value of checking the files when first ‘checked in’ to this recovery scheme so you start with a known good copy.

The idea is solid and since it has transcoding build in it makes perfect sense to just use ffmpeg.

This uncomfortable feeling though was just because it wasn't in your pants, providing a specific sensory input you are used to, not because "oh no! I need Twitter!". One has the same feeling about objects like wallets and keys.

I have carried a shoulder bag since I was a kid, before I had ever even used the Internet. Recently, indirectly due to the pandemic, I have stopped using my shoulder bag very much... I am constantly freaked out by its lack.

I haven't worn a watch in decades: I used to wear a watch only when I was a kid, and I stopped in college. And yet, to do this day--not often! maybe once a year, tops--I will suddenly have this visceral feeling "I lost my watch".

I have worn the same jacket for the past four years. This jacket puts a bit of weight on the back of my neck. I recently went out for a whole day wearing a hoodie and I kept feeling confused as "I am not wearing my jacket".

FWIW, I keep notifications off on my phone at all times. I think the entire idea that I can be randomly interrupted insane. I thereby often just disappear from being able to be contacted by anyone for a day because "I was having fun".

And yet, if I don't know where my phone is, I start freaking out... not because "I need my fix", but because it is an expensive object that has a lot of personal data on it and (as mine are old/jailbroken) might not even be replaceable.

I thereby disagree with the idea here: your phone is simply a tool, and it is probably one of the most powerful tools you have ever owned. The feeling of making it part of yourself is extremely human: we love to build and use tools.

What isn't reasonable is one way you have chosen to use that tool, but that's entirely unrelated to the very normal feelings you have when you suddenly don't have it in your pocket: move it to your other pocket and you will also feel bad.

Just think: your phone is also a clock, a map (compete with GPS and compass), a camera (photo and video), a calculator, a tricorder, and the hitchhicker's guide to the galaxy all at once... what a shame to feel you can't carry one.

> ...I wonder what I should test on if I want someone correctly smart.

Why would you want that? Look for someone who can (and is happy/eager to) learn *from you*.

Edit: smart isn't bad, but it's not much of a signal - there are plenty of ways to be smart but not very productive.
Moreover, any test in an interview setting well be extremely limited. Ability & willingness to grow seems a lot more useful (and at least equally well testable).
You sound serious.

> have access to billions of ... memes

But this is where I think maybe I'm getting trolled.
Excellent point. The tool we use (Lightun) runs all of that in a read-only sandbox and limits the classes you can access (they are in a sandbox too) so you can't print "anything". It throttles your access so you won't use too much CPU with expensive operations too.

It also comes with PII reduction and block lists so you won't just log user passwords in the login code...

This was also the first thing that came to mind for me. It is very simple compared to what OP is perhaps imagining, but when I played it as a child the message definitely got through to me.

I can't open your link but no matter, after several decades I still fondly remember getting a job at the burger place (and smart-ass comments about "you can save 6 hours and flush those fries right now"), saving up and saving up until I could get better and better degrees and jobs, and finally ending up as the CEO of the bank or whatever.
> Overall findings were that there is a relationship between vitamin D and depression, though the directionality of this association remains unclear.

Vitamin D really seems to be a good example of correlation does not imply causation. I’m looking forward to when the Vitamin D hype ebbs off and when we know what Vitamin D actually helps with.

Just a reminder that Kafka's book like The Trial and The Castle are based on his experience working within the Hapsburg Empire bureaucracy. He wasn't imagining some nightmare world so much as documenting it.
I've taken to trying to have a spare blank SIM and old phone with me. The last time I activated a phone I was dumb and left the old one at home on an hour trip. I went through all my accounts and just barely got my stuff to activate on my new phone without my old one. Also pointed out flaws in my 2fa setup, but hey.
Or somewhere in there you discover that 99.9% of the time you only need the top ten elements in the list so sorting the whole thing is foolish anyway. Or that you’re better off sorting the list as the data is collected in the first place because then the cost per entry is log(n), and reads swamp writes by a wide margin.
That is pretty fascinating. Some amount of selective breeding and we have gained level 0 Eldar tech.

On the other hand, it has greatly increased the availability of pre-packaged gluten-free food options. The consequences aren't all bad.

I don’t have a problem with the low resolution but the contrast on that is absolutely horrendous. It’s almost impossible to see which pixels are lit and which aren’t in bright lighting, and that’s even visible in the OP’s post.

Additionally - and I don’t know if it’s part of the charm - the space between adjacent pixels being as wide as a pixel itself also limits the ergonomics of the display in a way that a similar resolution but more tightly spaced display would be more usable.
There are two sides to every fraud. So if 75% of suspected/accused fraudsters go free, on the other side is a ton of buyers/sellers who got scammed. And to top it off the word gets around that you can scam on eBay and almost certainly get off with it.

eBay can try to make people whole who claim to be defrauded. But in addition to being expensive that creates its own perverse incentives.
My compromise is a smartwatch. I can use it to make emergency calls if I need to, but the availability of easy stimulation is considerably reduced compared to a smartphone.
In addition to celiac disease, which is not actually so rare - only about 3 times as rare as red hair - there is also Wheat Allergy, which is very real and detectable by measuring immune responses - and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS).

Most of the "health fad" people you're talking about would probably self-categorize themselves as NCGS, but that doesn't mean that everybody who is NCGS is part of a health fad. Double-blind "challenge" studies where people are unaware if what they are eating contains wheat/gluten have confirmed that for some people this is definitely real and not a made up fad.

I'm not denying the existence of people going gluten free for fad or orthorexia reasons, but be careful when you lump everyone who is gluten free for non-celiac reasons into that category.

> And I couldn't use a phone because my hands were full, I was carrying glass bottles home that way because I didn't want to pay for a plastic bag. If I dropped them, they would say since they accused me of stealing them that I destroyed the merchandise and was a thief for sure.

Why was slowly putting the bottles down and then getting out your phone not an option?
You keep moving the target…

I think if you try, you can probably come up with similar examples that meet any criteria you want to change or add.
>I know I'm right because if these were the cure to society, religion would be growing, not shrinking, regulation would be decreasing, not increasing, and racial tensions would be decreasing, not increasing.

..why would that be? As if people know how to anyways act in their own self interest?

I'd say it has more to do with both sides being so certain that the other is wrong. I will say the one thing conservatives have on their side is that it is true suicide rates for teens used to be much lower. So there's a plenty strong argument for religion, maybe. Then again grouping all religions into one makes no sense-- I don't know if any people have evaluated how many Buddhist, Muslim, and jainist teens are suicidal to actually see the comparative difference between them rather than just assuming it's all identical. So I don't think there's enough evidence to say anything useful about that
I've never put anything work-related on my personal devices[1]. If anyone sends me a Slack message or an email on Friday night, I won't see it until Monday morning. If you need to reach me outside of work hours, you can give me a phone call and talk to me personally about what's so urgent that you feel the need to impinge on my personal time.

[1] Well okay, except 2FA, because I couldn't make it through new hire orientation without doing that. But now all the auth uses security elements integrated into or attached to the laptop itself, so maybe it's time to uninstall the work 2FA stuff.
Yes good point. One of the things that annoys me most about HNers is that they think Unix is the one true OS paradigm and measure all other designs by how similar they are. And here I am doing it myself.
I was sitting here thinking the same thing. You could probably achieve this with an rpi or two. The article is light on technical details unless I totally missed it..
I’ve only sold three things and two of them the first buyer tried an obvious scam (asking for email to send fake PayPal payment notification, telling me they “couldn’t get their card to work on the eBay site”).

The first time eBay flagged it automatically and reversed the sale, the second I cancelled as buyer request since they told me they couldn’t pay.

The annoying thing is I had to manually restart the listing and ask eBay to override the selling cap so I could do so. It’s really annoying because they tie up the listing while waiting to see if you are that gullible or not.
> Why can't technological advancement stave off climate change damage?

What technology in particular could stop the oceans from rising and swallowing much of today's southern coastlines, and what technology in particular could reduce wet-bulb temperatures across most of the world's south below 50C, the point where healthy adult humans with access to infinite water will die of heat stroke?

> Why cant renewables replace fossil fuels, and continue human expansion?

Because renewables are not reliable, rely on rare metals, and can't replace the huge amount of energy produced by oil. Someone was making a calculation the other day that replacing the entire fleet of vehicles in the USA with electrical cars would require doubling the electricity production of the states. Do you really think that's possible in 50 years, while also replacing all gas and coal plants with renewables?

Also, there are huge areas of industry that use oil or natural gas for many reasons other than energy - plastics, synthesizing NH3 for fertilizer and other uses.

> Why can't space exploration and settlement be where the future growth occurs?

Because we are nowhere near having the technological advancement needed for space settlement that would do anything other than cost resources. Perhaps there is some small chance of having a research base on Mars or the Moon within the next 50 years, akin to the ISS, but ideas of "colonizing Mars" are beyond sci-fi at this point. We couldn't even colonize Antarctica with current technology.

Besides, there's nothing on Mars that we don't have much more easily accessible on Earth - no rare metals, no crop fields, no spices, no native workers we could import as slaves, no cotton or anything that could even conceivably resemble the existing reasons for colonization. And lest you think anything else, there is nothing we can conceivably do to the Earth that would make it anywhere near as inhospitable as Mars. Even the worse possible consequences of a Nuclear War would not leave Earth as radioactive, poisonous, cold, or otherwise inhospitable as Mars is today.
A category that seems to be smaller every day.
You give way too much credit to most humans. Politicians have played to groups in the majority thinking that no matter how bad off they were that by giving “them” equal access and rights that they would be worse off

The ruling class never wants equal rights as a group.
Did you not read the study? lol
The only way it could have been unbreakable would be if it relied on one-time pads.

Leo Marks, in England, championed a one-time pad system for field agents in occupied areas.

There was a one-time pad audio telephone system relying on phonograph record copies at bot ends, physically broken after use. Churchill and Roosevelt used it.
There certainly is a lot of overlap between the two.

Homelab is a slightly older term, and has more of a hardware emphasis and makes me picture people with older enterprise gear (Dell R710s/R720s are perennial favorites among that group), older Cisco networking gear, actual server racks and VMWare based setups.

Selfhosted is a bit more modern, and more software focused. More likely to be someone running a bunch of stuff on kubernetes across a bunch of Pis or an old desktop, with Unifi or Mikrotik networking gear
I held off getting a smartphone until 2011. But I certainly experienced this sort of discomfort without my dumb phone and various other bits of paraphernalia like a bus route map, bus schedules, a Thomas Guide map book (or AAA map once I moved to NM), lists of emergency and nonemergency contacts, medical info, todo and shopping lists, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. Most of this has been subsumed by the smartphone, in a smaller, more convenient package with better ergonomics. Battery life has improved to the point that I no longer bother with an external battery pack, unless there is overnight travel involved.

I'm pretty draconian about controlling notifications, and try to use the smartphone as a tool rather than a content consumption device (an eink ebook reader has replaced my habitual paperback book, both at home and on the go).

But as a tool, an occasion for the smartphone's absence is definitely cause for discomfort. OTOH, there are physical tools I don't bother to carry anymore (eg. a swiss army knife) that haven't been replaced with anything.
Is it the No True Democracy argument that any problems we see with the federal government are a result of flaws in the too-low percent pure democracy that it is?

I think the trick of democracy is to avoid the tyranny of the majority. We have some structures in place in the US intended to prevent the worst of them from occurring. I find it amusing (and if it happened more frequently, annoying and then scary) that these exact controls are seen by some as inconveniences or impediments.

It may have been active "cover up" - but doesn't need to be (or have been). It could be just passively ignoring and not being curious about fraud that benefits you. More (apparent) students benefits the school.

Suppose I'm running a tech company and a bunch of "users" are actually non-engaged, fake accounts. If my valuation is based at least in part on how many users I have, there is not a lot of incentive to go actively looking for, eliminating or preventing these fake accounts. I may even continue to believe that they are all real, engaged users and not even consider the alternative.

Is there a replacement firmware already available that allows local control?

I feel like for all these connected hardware products, they should ship with an open source server and the phone apps that control them should have an "Server IP address" field in their iOS settings. Your company goes under? I just run your software locally and point my app to my local IP.

Nice to wanting to help the guy.

I feel that being trained as a software developer is not enough to find a good job. You have to seriously train in job finding. How to write your CV, where to find listings, to which position to apply, what questions are asked on interviews for the positions you are interested in, what to tell on a interview, what not to tell.

I've changed my job 3 years ago after a long time with a company. I was scared about the process, but after some preparation and a few interviews I began to do well. I kind of knew what I will be asked and replied to interviewers what they wanted to know. After 2 years I changed my job again and it was easy. Now, I am at it again and I doesn't seem too difficult. I do better than many engineers. Probably I am not a better developer than them, but I am better prepared for the interviews. Even the way you talk and how you project your confidence matters. If you "read" the guy doing the interview, tell a joke that he will appreciate, talk about something that you think he will approve, will win you bonus points. Being pleasant, Mr Nice Guy, will help because interviewers are people and they want to have good team mates who they will have a great time working with. This might even be more important than engineering excellence.
