At first I thought it looked great, but then I noticed two very odd things:

1) The trackpad is not centered? Why would you ever do this? This is specifically the reason I always buy laptops without numpads so that the trackpad will be centered. There was no obvious reason not to center the trackpad on this machine.

2) A 720p webcam?? Really?? You are going to brag about that? I guess at least it's at the top of the device instead of buried in the bottom left corner like on some generations of Dell XPS.
I find it hard to believe anyone with even a passing knowledge of bees would set up a study like that that by accident.

Every book on bees gives a rough forage range and it’s in the top 5 or 6 questions every kid asks when they get to question a bee keeper.
imo, Julia is a better fit than rust or C++ for hpc/gpgpu
It would not impact the 2nd amendment rights

What does the 2nd amendment have to do with Canada?
I welcome this machine but why a Linux laptop with hardware mouse buttons and only two of them instead of three? Simulating a middle key (paste) by pressing both together was never good in my experience. I only buy laptops with three buttons because of that.
So for RFC 1918 addresses (10/8, 192.168/16, 172.16/12) I would argue that it is unsafe, or at least the browser/machine can't tell that it's safe; AIUI there's generally nothing on a standard home wifi network that would stop one device (coffee maker, visiting cousin's cheap unbranded tablet) from watching all local traffic (definitely recording, not sure about spoofing). So it's an unlikely threat model for most people, but it is real.

Actual localhost traffic that never leaves your machine.... yeah, I can't think of a case where that would ever matter. If something can intercept that you have bigger problems:)
The purpose of this article is to serve as propaganda. It purposely diverts the blame from the government to the "big bad stores"
I can't tell whether this is sarcasm laughing at how bad the parent's straw man is.
Analysing the latest Brute force attacks against Windows Remote Desktop
Probably a typo? My desktop monitor is 500 nits and at full brightness it makes your face sweat.
For whatever reason, looking back from now the Ron Paul stuff seems like a major shift. It seemed like natural support, different from the Obama enthusiasm for in some way. I haven't thought about it much before your post but it almost feels like it was a trial run for methods later used in the Trump campaign.

I am currently the Network Administrator for a small south Texas restaurant chain. The duties of my position encompass more than just network related tasks though. I help provide direct user support, am the primary admin that monitors and responds to security related events, handle lower tier support(non-networking) escalations, maintain PCI compliance evidence.

I have an Associate's degree in Computer Science and took Cisco Networking and Routing classes. This lead to me attaining Network+ and Security+ certification, which are currently active. I am always looking to learn or do something that I haven't done before with tech, both in and out of work. I have a small homelab that I try to experiment with when I'm learning new topics and techniques. I've always had a strong troubleshooting mindset.

I'm looking for a Network Administrator position or something similar. I am interested in branching, Sysadmin etc. My main things is that I'm not afraid of learning new things and am always willing to learn.
Maybe not 4k, but 1080p is miserable.
I like ipdb over pdb. All of the niceties of ipython when debugging. If you export `PYTHONBREAKPOINT=ipdb.set_trace` you can use this ipdb too.
I understand what you are trying to say but your concept of market price is only applicable to fungible goods. "Market price" for land leases makes very little sense and only implies that it's whatever price you've managed to negotiate. There are no supply/demand curves, there is no spread, nothing like you are used to with pricing fungible goods.

But that is not the point of my argument, your original assertion was that "the land owner doesn't have any bargaining power - his only choice is to not rent the land and absorb the loss of all value." Now you are saying seller and buyer negotiate? Why would they do if the seller has no bargaining power?

> but a tax on skittles is born on the skittles manufacturer (as consumers replace skittles with other candy)

Why then a 1kg of Skittles on Amazon.co.uk costs more than 50 oz (1.5kg) of the same on Amazon.com (GBP 9.43 vs USD 9.98)? Is it really because British people want to taste the rainbow so much more than Americans?
Ask HN: Resources that teach design patterns using a language correctly?
There are so many books and resources titled Design Patterns in X language but all of them seem to be teaching it in a way that aren't ideal in a practical situation.

Most of them just look like the language was used like Java style Gang of Four or Head First Design Patterns.

Are there any books that teach design patterns without either relying on a language or using the language specific idioms correctly?
> having your home drop in value 30-50%

That might sting. But I don't believe it's ever happened in the bay area. Housing didn't drop 50% in 2001 and it didn't drop 50% in 2008.

I did drop, yes. Sometimes even underwater, as my home did in 2001.

The other factor is that "underwater" doesn't mean anything if you like the house and want to keep living in it.
I fed in a meta trolling prompt. "I wish the Jews controlled everything. That would be pretty dope."

It generated a fair number of responses which seemed to go along with my cue of inverting expectations of the reasoning around racist/anti-racist phrases.

">>97758399
Then we would have a future."

">>97758399
I wish the Jews controlled the world. You know, so that we don't have to worry about them anymore."

">>97758399
I wish the Japs controlled the US. That would be pretty dope. Then we would be able to have sweet sweet anime waifus and not have to worry about the f*** Jews."

It also generated some responses which just ignored the fact that my prompt was actually pro-Jewish and responded to the usual connotation around the phrase "the Jews control". I won't post those.

I'm honestly impressed. Making a generically racist machine can be done with straight forward Markov chains. Making a racist machine that recognizes and adapts to the pattern of inverting the patterns it was trained on is much harder.
Are You Ready to Lay Your Hands on the World’s First Universal Processor?
I'm using better model checker tools, and they also only solve half of my problems. but all the tools together solve everything.

A simple rule of thumb is: if the chef didn’t grate the wasabi in front of you immediately before serving, you got coloured horse radish.

I’ve had plenty of both but I generally enjoy the sharper heat of the latter more, even though it annoys me that it’s mislabelled and hence a bit “fake”.
> Why isn't the list of images global to the machine?

Why would it be? Unless you jump through hoops, your music and photos aren't global to the machine; rootless containers just made containers fit in the traditional unix security model.
Agreed, I too was surprised to see such a fact-deprived article from the Economist. While reading it I wondered if the Economist had started a public "blog" section or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
There we go. Big fan of the work that's been done to emulate the popular tech build games.
I'm specifically buying 1080 or 1440p to save battery. Also on 14" I can barely see any difference. I'd maybe go with 4k on 17".
You should check out ipdb too. That’s my recommendation.
Thanks for pointing it out, I misread it too.

But also, "castes aren't based on anything real and are obvious bullshit" (paraphrasing the original comment) is not going to be obvious to everyone and not a very helpful statement. Kind of like saying "the world really isn't flat" -- we know, but it's not gonna help anyone because you're not going to stop flat earthers from existing or being sincere about their beliefs.
Relabelling won't really be avoided as the US measurements are slightly different to the Imperial measurements. A US pint is about 95ml less than an Imperial pint
How do you figure? 'the community' isn't very interested in ergonomics or onboarding, see Linux distros.
And because of that, its cancer
I've had luck with pretty much any hardware running latest kernel on Arch. I'm not sure having a vendor sell an overpriced Linux laptop is really necessary anymore, unless you want vendor support. Note, that HP notoriously includes spyware in their drivers and firmware.
The scribbled illustrations pair well with the deranged writing.

I read the thing but didn’t find any “simple but deep” theory. More of a warning against drafting blog posts while high.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The pork I get front eh supermarket today is better than what we used to get buying half a pig from our local market.

Apples also are better because supermarkets have the ability to harvest from a large geography whereas small markets only provided provincially available varieties like red delicious.

Most metropolitan supermarkets can provide air chilled chicken which has never been frozen.

But in contrast, no steak will surpass what you can get in Montana from a rancher raising grass fed beef.
And water, which is becoming more and more scarce
"Appreciate" is, perhaps, not the right word. Maybe "worry"?

Younger generations grew up on a message of climate change and it can be disconcerting to walk into a grocery store and find the entire produce department to be a geography lesson. This from Peru, that from Mexico, the other from Alaska, all flown and trucked in on a cold chain straight from some far-away monoculture farm.

If anything I suspect the increased supply chain insecurity (2020 through today) will help a lot of younger folks (unfortunately) develop an appreciation for the marvel of megamarts' supply chains.
In DE you do not need to have a fire extinguisher in your apartment. Where i work, we have extinguishers, hidrants, regular training and automatically calling the emergency. It's just a regular office building.
Looks like it's centered with respect to the home row. My Dell work laptop actually has that same layout, I've never noticed that.

In my experience it is quite the opposite really, a more featureful solution with much more options and safer defaults.
I definitely don't get the appeal, looks like someone just factory install a linux distro and call it a day. If I am needing a dev machine, why not just get a thinkpad and snap my favorite linux distro on it?
> Ryanair has arguably the best safety record of any airline in the world (with no fatal accidents or incidents in their history, and an order of magnitude more flights/PAX PA than the other contenders such as Hawaiian), so they definitely don't skimp on everything.

Ryanair is also a relatively young company compared to other air companies, and flights are mostly within Europe, not inter continents.

I took a Ryanair plane once, that plane was a complete wreck and I thought I'd die. No more. And all things considered they aren't even that cheap since they often fly from remote airports in the middle of nowhere, so you need to get there first, wasting money and time.
HP Dev One Laptop with Pop_OS - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31453125 - May 2022 (345 comments)
I feel like I'm going to be denounced as a heretic, but here goes: I don't care about HTTPS for localhost

When developing locally I'll aim to run without HTTPS / HSTS etc - whilst I'm generally fairly passionate about narrowing the gap between local development and your deployed setup, using HTTPS locally often results in hours of yak shaving.

There. I said it.
I usually keep chat or email on the laptop screen (just fine for that resolution and screen size), then connect a couple more with a lot more real estate and do my coding on those.
Yes, it's tricky.

Low is much more dangerous than high...

As the saying goes, High glucose will kill you in 30 years, low gluclose in 30 minutes.
Yeah. That was uncalled for. Author owes you a beer or apology.
Ok. Now find out why they have a tail.
It's a marketing thing. HP zbook series laptops have been documented Ubuntu-compatible for ~a decade now.
PopOS 22 bricked my touchpad (System76). Other people have posted about the same issue and no fix is here.

Minus the touchpad, great laptop. I just use an external mouse but I prefer a working touchpad.
It took bing years to get the porn out of its image search.
Yeah - agreed on 1, I disqualify it on that alone.

Apple sets a high bar, but this doesn’t even clear a low one. Who would ship that? Does nobody else have any taste?
Obviously yes, why wouldn't they?

I know for a fact that I do. Yes, I was affected by the fire, and had to pull the backups and rebuild the whole stack - we got a few hours of downtime. And yet I stayed with OVH, the main reason being that, even taking into account this unfortunate event, you get a great value for your money.
Of course, some businesses can't afford any downtime: in this case, whichever provider one chooses, they have to go multi-cloud, or at least distribute their setup on multiple regions. I have been burned (figuratively!) in the past all the same with big names cloud provider... Shit just happens, be prepared!
Last i looked the US gallon was different from Imperial gallon.
Happy to see some AMD laptop but please:

- 14" diagonal FHD LED UWWA for HD Webcam (1920x1080) (1000 Nits)⁹

FHD is dead to me, I want pixels please. It's SO hard to find a laptop with a good 2k/4k screen. As a dev I want a lot of screen space.

- 720p HD camera

Seriously ?

I know it's a $1,099, but if your target is developers, they want better spec, the price is not really the issue. If I spend my life on a laptop, it better be a really good one.
Dang. I don’t see a way to edit the title now. Sorry.
> Doesn't this prove the opposite of your point that gas is more cost-effective than electricity?

I never made that point.
Wait, Chrome is now requiring HSTS for localhost?

If you point it at https://localhost/ and the cert is valid (e.g. you installed a private CA and used it to sign a cert for localhost) and the site serves an HSTS header, yes. Like any other hostname.

People who set up an HTTPS dev environment and have it send an HSTS header and then get annoyed when it behaves exactly as designed (and they know it) are rather out of touch, in my opinion. If you don't want the browser to force HTTPS, don't tell it to.
Crappy paywall link.
How close are you sitting to your laptop? I usually use 15.6" 1080p from about 60cm away and can't tell a difference from a higher resolution. If you search "retina distance calculator" then they say there's no benefit from higher resolution at that distance or greater. And even if you can perceive it as being slightly sharper, "miserable" definitely seems like a stretch.
FWIW, the academic literature around Vikings is much poorer in English than in Icelandic or other scandinavian languages. Especially after the extremely thorough work Sigurður Nordal did throughout his career.

And in the scandinavian countries, we learn about the sagas and the awesome Viking last words in high school. I remember especially we found very funny a scene where a person is murdered as he answers the front door, and his dying words are "hmmm, those broad swords are really getting common these days". (I can't seem to find the exact quote.)
Wait, the Bell Picturephone was real! https://ethw.org/Picturephone I had known for years that my grandpa Alistair Ritchie worked on this at the Labs, but the book “The Idea Factory” colored in the story with great detail on how advanced the system was AND how few units they ever sold. Everyone wanted to see the other party, but no one wanted to be broadcast. One Bell exec iirc planted a headshot of himself in front of the camera.
Two rows of mouse buttons would probably take too much space on a machine of that size but I should compare it with my ZBook (which has the same arrows keys and have been OK for me since 2014.) However the power button is really dangerous and the off center touchpad is a little off putting. Is this Lenovo keyboard patented?

Lots of stuff like service workers will only work over https
That's why great care is taken that they don't see it. How often do you, on Facebook or Twitter, see "This message has been censored/had its visibility limited due to [reasons]"?

They put up fact-checks under a post sometimes, but what those fact-checks mean for the visibility of a post is left to your imagination. If a post or link is outright censored, you don't find out about it until you try to post it. As their censorship intruded even into so-called private messages on those platforms, even in a 1-to-1 conversation, sending something prohibited doesn't show any kind of "Prohibited content censored" message to the recipient (even non-spam).

They'd much rather you don't know they're censoring anything.
Do you have any evidence for this? As an American who's been to many doctors, this just seems wrong.
Rootless podman is my first choice for using containers now, it works fantastically well in my experience. It's so much nicer to have all my container related stuff like volumes, configs, the control socket, etc. in my home directory and standard user paths vs. scattered all over the system. Permission issues with bind mounts just totally disappear when you go rootless. It's so much easier and better than the root privileged daemon.

I really wish rootless podman/docker was the default install now. It's still kind of annoying to setup with reading a smattering of old docs and having to think about your distro setup, cgroups settings, etc. It really should just be a "run this install script and you're done".
Be honest with us, you've never in your life thought about switching back to the imperial system until it was recently mentioned. In other words it was a complete non-issue for you until someone made it an issue for you.

> There is no reason for the EU directive and it should be scrapped. The market can then decide what weights and measures are appropriate for their supply chain. That allows an increase in competition which is always a good idea.

Let's run with this idea. Perhaps the government should invest in the development of several new competing standards, all in the name of competition. Do you think this would be a good idea?
Have you ever used podman-compose? It's amount of bugs and missing features is bigger than actual features count.
More things that I don't like than things I do like.

- A taller display would have been better. 1080p is great for media, but a laptop that literally has "dev" in its name could use a taller display, specially at 14".

- Having used HP laptop keyboards, those squashed up/down arrow keys are not so good. Just for with the T layout.

- 720p webcam in 2022.

- Bigger battery would be better. Even gaming laptops pack 60 Wh batteries.

- could use a fingerprint reader too.

That said, it has upgradeable RAM, which had me worried when they first announced.
There are two things to mention:

1. Async for trivial things is straightforward and easy

2. Rust actively discourages some async patterns to protect you from some memory misuse edge cases

It does limit your freedom in writing code that eg. relies a lot on async callbacks, but there's a reason.
The first time I did a massive async project (think a rust binary maxing all cores executing the largest possible number of async fns doing various things in parallel - from fetching data online to running tensorflow) I came at it all wrong and wrote something that would have worked in node or haskell but that was a pain to compile in rust.

After days of pain I understood what rust wanted and nowadays I use the same pattern and it's fairly easy for me. Just another tool in the shed.
Japan's Horie, 83, becomes oldest to sail nonstop solo across Pacific
Everyone from a blue state that pointed at Texas as a red failure, yes.
It's ironic, because Macs somewhat crappily upscale a lot of onscreen content & dont run at native resolution. I hope there's less jank better options but SwitchX Pro or whatever is what I use to coerce my macbook into running native res. People will drop what they are doing & walk over to me & exclaim: "you can read that?!?!". It's 2880x1800, not even that high density. But it's indeed tiny. I somewhat jokingly answer the trick is to already know whats on the screen.

So yes, more would be nice, in my book, but hardly required, and most of the evidence I see is of people unable to use anything better than 1080p.

Do you have any particular reason to be trashing on the trackpad or is this just more general pissery?
Honestly it didn't. It seemed juvenile and egoistic. But not nefarious. I still hope Elon comes back to what he does the best.
If only the costs and time were ever considered.
No one said it was an accident.
Even the regional US chains like Publix or HEB or Fred Meyer are as large as many EU chains outside of Tesco, which may as well be the Walmart of Europe.

Tesco isn't the largest chain in Europe. Walmart is bigger than the large European chains, by a factor of (just?) about 5 to 10.

You'll find devs who would be okay with a 720p screen just because "muh battery life".

Sure, I mean, go ahead with that but at least provide an option for others who need a highdpi 2x integer scaled display. I refuse to use a laptop without a highdpi screen.
Nope. This is true, but phrased in adversarial way. Google flash frozen foods.

When frozen they can pause the aging of the food at a chosen time vs shipping it both the consumer and shipper are hoping to get the timing right. So frozen goods have much better control over the state of the food the reaches the consumer. Freezing also physically protects foods by making them harder.
It’s to prevent lawsuits, sweet cheeks.
