Cool, thanks- I had forgotten about Alias before Maya. I was introduced to radial when Maya came out (somebody demo'd in, I was interested by couldn't afford it).

I think of Fusion 360 as being more descended from Inventor (which defined a lot of my early expectations for 3d modelling). I'm only a hobbyist and I used Fusion 360 with large (mesh) surfaces (it got significantly better at meshes recently) and it definitely got clunky, although the performance is fine when working with parameteric brep objects.

I've been using Autodesk products (starting with 2D AutoCAD on a 286 running DOS) for quite a while (35 years).

Oh I didn’t know about the lipo… did some googling and that seems really handy/ got me thinking.

That explains why I haven’t found many battery powered Arduino options…. it is better on other boards.

Is the source for Luke Stackwalker available anywhere? I found an old Github project, but it's last update was 7 years ago.
Agree that this is the largest issue with code quality.

Knowing when and which package to import, given the incomplete data points we have now.

Stars/downloads are a popularity contest. At some point, people mostly vote for the candidate who is most likely to win (causing this to be self-reinforcing) , not the one with the best ideas.

The stability+sustainability of the development team, the signals of consistent quality (eg. Code linting, code quality audits, bug bounty program participation, public security audits, good design documents, automation of builds, testing methodology and test coverage).
No central bank digital currency is planning to use a blockchain. A blockchain would add fundamental insurmountable drawbacks. Digital money using databases has been around since before the internet. Central bank digital currency is just a minor addition to our current digital financial infrastructure.

I really don't want to give up my four external monitors, so I will have to wait until I can get the M1 Max or something.
Most sites (IME) do it by accident. The API as designed is a footgun, so much so that there’s an active proposal which would basically replace it. (I can’t speak to how much better the replacement might be.)

Obviously it can be used intentionally to hijack your session history, but it’s also surprisingly easy to do by mistake unless your state management is effectively designed for concurrency (which the API isn’t, but it encourages the same kinds of bad patterns).
The researcher use a kext afaict solely to provide an exploitable gadget - e.g an attacker would need to find one themselves, and finding a kernel bug is not something that gets a journal publication so isn’t relevant to the research. In that case using a kext seems reasonable.

The attack itself however seems like it’s fairly close to requiring true arbitrary code execution (the earlier spec. Execution bugs could be unit from “correct” JS).
Star Trek's PADDs are also interesting for what they don't show. You'll see many instances of characters giving PADDs to each other. There's one particular scene in an episode of DS9 where Sisco has a whole stack of PADDs on his desk, and he laments the workload. Star Trek figured out touch screens and personal data devices, but didn't figure out basic networked data communication, i.e. email attachments. At a time when email existed!

I think of this every time I hand my phone to my wife to show her some stupid joke on Twitter or in a text message thread with my friends.
> On my end I think the term mortgages are great since I believe it leads to lower overall interest rates.

When rates are going down, yes.

But locking in low rates in the United States for 30 years either at purchase time or via refinancing is one of the weirdest advantages of home ownership here. It's surreal to have a 2.x% mortgage locked in for decades when rates are quickly going up and inflation is reducing the relative value of my debt and payments.
> Why is it called "trash" AND "wastebin" in the same place, with two different styles of icon?

Localization? One of the screenshots is clearly in a uk locale where it's a wastebin, not trash? However... that screenshot is still connected to a server where the trash folder is named trash. Changing the name of server folders is gross, regardless.

> - Each of the "reply", "forward", etc buttons are all menu dropdowns. Each menu is a small click target. Why isn't this just an overflow menu? Why can't these be customized?

How can you tell it can't be customized from the screenshots? I think it's setable in the preferences, but it's been along time since I used Claws. I don't remember drop downs next to the reply buttons (and can't fathom why they'd be there) either, though. Maybe some address selection? They can still be buttons and have drop downs next to them, though. That's nice for reply, and then have a reply all in a drop down next to it, because reply all is terrible, but sometimes needed. (Actually, in a perfect world, it might be nice to carry all the address info into the draft and be able to select people to send to later, but that's a change in substance, and has issues when you're saving drafts on imap and restoring them later)

> - The "connected" icon at the bottom appears to be stolen from an ancient Mozilla build (though I'm unsure of the origin). Is that truly the best visual indicator for connectivity in the year 2022?

I mean... You click on it, and get disconnected operations. You could update it, but why? It works, it's clear if you've used it. It's unobtrusive if you don't.

> - The inbox shows the file size of emails in two separate places, with a precision that goes down to tens of bytes. Why?

I see three sizes in the main view, one for the list, one for the whole inbox, one for the currently selected items. This is pretty handy if you are trying to clean up mail to manage a storage quota, which is fairly important for people who have a storage quota. I don't remember if Claws uses three significant figures for size or two digits after the decimal place. We can't really critique this without more information.
> Some problems are technology problems (e.g. "transfer network improvement"). Not sure what Congress has to do with solving these (read: nothing). Other problems are finance problems (e.g. financial consolidation, whatever that even means). Again, Congress has no say here, as these are problems to be solved by financial institutions (banks, funds, etc.).

I think you may be misunderstanding these terms. I read "transfer network" as referring to how banks transfer funds between each other, not as a specific kind of network technology, and there is most definitely a role for law and policy in establishing how independent financial institutions interact with one another in account holders' interests. I read "financial consolidation" here as referring to the consolidation of financial institutions, and Congress and regulatory authorities for sure have a role to play in determining what constitutes a monopoly or monopsony in the financial sector.

Interoperability and anticompetitive mergers are absolutely (though not exclusively) policy problems.

> How about we first solve the problem of congresspeople actively trading the very markets they're supposed to police?

I mean, sure? Let's ban senators and reps from holding individual securities; I won't argue with that. But that seems orthogonal to a discussion of whether a particular industry should be exempt from regulation (and frankly seems like whataboutism).
On top of my head.

- Sky Map: point at the night sky, it tells you which stars are there. Dim screen, offline, perfect.

- Samsung's "Ultra power saving" mode. Turns your smartphone into a dumb phone: phone calls, SMS only, black and white screen. Internet access requires action on your part (i.e. opening the browser). And as you may guess from the name, it really saves battery. Other manufacturers most likely have something similar.

- For most of what you are doing, you don't need any apps. Social media, news and things to learn can all be done on a browser. Pick one with an ad blocker when you are at it (Firefox, Brave, ...).

- On Android, there is a root feature that allows you to freeze apps. I use Titanium Backup for that, but there are other apps that can achieve a similar effect without root (Greenify, Island,...). Frozen apps stay in storage, you keep your data, but they can't be accessed and don't run in the background. It you have some social app that annoys you but you are not sure if you really want it gone, freeze it, and unfreeze it when you need it, if you need it. It saves battery too.

> give me XHTML

You can still use XHTML; just send "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml". You can express the same things as an HTML document, but with a saner parser mode.
True, a bad way of expressing it.

Correcting myself, what I mean is adding a disclaimer may make people look at it with suspicion. Or even walk away not giving a fair chance to get to know it.

Whether I received a note from a stranger or from the company employee, it shouldn't change how I judge and evaluate it.

Yet, I think the latter introduces bias and undercuts what could be an honest marketing effort.

This is all speculative. No data-driven backing.
Dockerd is a daemon that runs with very high privileges and does too many things. People hate using "sudo docker" so they add themselves to the docker group. Now congratulations you are effectively running as root all the time.

The problem is that proteins do some things passively unrelated to (say) their enzymatic ability. Is that secondary functionality a function? What if it's binding a molecule, but then releasing it before the catalysis occurs (wasted effort).

I mean, I know a person in grad school who worked on finding the function of a protein for a long time. It was given by a collaborator and had high sequence similarity to a known enzyme in a related species. She tried every possible functionality test to see if it was a protease, or any of a hundred other enzymatic reactions. Eventually it turned out the collaborator had mistakenly given them an alanine-scanned protein with the necessary functional residues replaced, so she never detected any activity because there wasn't any. Does that mean the protein had no "function"? It was binding water molecules, even plausible substrate, but just never helping a transition state form. Even if you replaced the working version of the protein with the broken version in an organism, if it wasn't a completely necessary protein, it would continue to reside in the genome with no function for some time until (perhaps) neutral mutation due to lack of functional selection caused the protein to be non-expressed and it starts to rot away into a pseudogene.

The main problem with your research question is that it still hasn't been completely resolved- there are proteins remaining which are necessary, but their functions are unknown.

This is true, but you still have to position the window on the screen, you just end up doing it manually by forcing exact pixel coordinates. IME it's annoying enough then I'm surprised nobody's made... "fullscreenwm", a <1KB executable or perhaps even shell script that fullscreens the only window on the screen and then blocks forever. Or perhaps it exists or is such a trivial application of some window manipulation command line utility that it's unnecessary and I just haven't heard of it.

As someone who doesn't use OpenSSL often enough to remember all the options, this actually looks very useful to have (with the exception of the help and list options).

That said, the pixelated tabs and controls combined with an antialiased font look really weird. I suppose it could be called the "fake retro" aesthetic.
Oh, so like Wall Street in the 80-90s, gotcha.
From the beginning, there has never been a cooler WM than Enlightenment. It brings back such great nostalgic memories of tweaking it for hours. Running CD ripping stuff, a Perl script for grabbing album artwork, and LAME encoding was my typical jam in 1998. In those days, I think I was running it on top of Gnome or something. These days, I've installed it a few times but, I've gotten old. I now am in the Honda Accord phase of life... so I just use whatever Gnome release is the latest.
I understood the intention of the movie, but I'm also in the camp that thinks engineering ourselves is the way forward, and a given. Genetic and silicon advances have a real potential to make us super/transhuman and immortal.

> It's also nearly certain that any such technology would not be distributed in an egalitarian way

This argument could have been made about early computers as well. But time and its economies of scale come into play. We can't limit our species based on shortsighted fairness, there's a longer view to take.
>Compare with renewables: 790GW already running (26% of the gridpower),

Something to remember here is that the vast majority of that 26% is hydroelectric (maybe 18% or so). Wind and solar provide only a few percent of the power that is produced.

The bad news with those numbers is that they won't be able to grow hydroelectric by very much as there aren't many places they haven't built a dam already. The good news is that with such low percentages for solar and wind, there is plenty of growth available before they run into real problems with the intermittent nature of wind and solar.

If China can decarbonize its grid with solar/wind and some new grid storage they develop in the future that would be amazing. If China ends up decarbonizing its grid by building hundreds of nuclear power plants along with solar/wind, that would also be amazing. I think we are in agreement that the goal is really to decarbonize the grid.
Hate to tell you, some form of this has existed for over 20 years. Once there was .back(), it’s been possible to pollute and corrupt browsing history. Even before the hashchange event, it was just a matter of polling the current state to detect history changes. The current API was designed to limit obvious abuse, but obvious abuse was already rampant and already too late to deprecate.
This isn’t true.

Yes, racism is real. Racism has been a part of history. Racism still exists today.

What does the word "Blacklist" have to do with that? It's not about black people, it's not suggesting we should do anything to black people. We can all agree there are racist words - but why is "blacklist" one of them?

Is "blacklight" a racist term?

"Yellow" means caution or slow in most contexts. It's the color of safety vests and caution signs. Should Asians take offense? What about native peoples with the color "Red"?

This blacklist (and "master") nonsense is based on a fake story about the term that doesn't hold up under scrutiny, and the idea that Black people may have negative feelings to this fake story. I believe the term here is "the racism of soft expectations".

You can't create a lie and then demand conformance to that lie because "you may upset someone". Atheists were persecuted for a long time in history (as were many smaller religious groups) because they were considered "offensive".

The word policing goal is simple - it's control. Language gives the means of expression and to restrict language is to restrict expression. The word banning will not stop - "blacklist", "master", "brown bag", "black belt", "assault", "war". All of those have been banned by one of these lists - and it has nothing to do with helping any race.
Though the terminal doesn’t do that either, so it’s no big loss if the UI doesn’t.
It's embarrassing when self-appointed "bioethicists" do nothing but handwring about distant transformative technology - stuff that could confer such incredible benefits on humanity and that we are light-years from having.

It's so easy for them to posture as virtuous protectors of humanity, sowing FUD about things that are so far from existing that nobody even understands how they might work or what capabilities they might have or not have. So easy, when the benefits are nowhere near close enough to factor into anyone's near-mode thinking.

I'm cheering for the scientists. Give us the choice to have brilliant, strong, healthy children. Then laugh at how little anyone cares about the so-called "ethics", facile cloud-talk that never considered real people facing real decisions.

The "ethicists" had their chance to intelligently weigh the pros and cons and give real advice based in prudence, empathy, and a love for human flourishing. They chose to self-indulgently chinstroke about dystopia on the taxpayer dime.

We'll figure it out without them.
That's true, it's not advocating against. Bad way of expressing.

But I do think it may undercut the power of content marketing by introducing an unconscious and unjustified negative bias.

If a stranger shares it on HN, should I judge it in a different way? What is the true value of highlighting that the author works for the company?
As sibling comment notes, you can switch between WMs at runtime, you just have to not exec the wm from xinitrc. Instead, you run a terminal emulator or whatever as the first X client, and then from there run the window manager like a normal program. I mean, I'm sure there are nicer ways to do it, but that worked for me.

Alternatively, if you want to run multiple at once, you can run Xephyr, which nests X sessions, and then you just run whatever clients you want in each child X server, including the window manager.
Sure, that fear was there since OnLive first demoed this technology a decade ago, but it still hasn't come true.

Stadia is just one service out of many, like Xbox, Playstation, GeForce, Luna, etc. Some of those operate off your existing libraries (Steam, Epic, etc.), others tie into publisher subscriptions (Uplay, EA).

Most games really aren't archival quality anyway. You play them for a few weeks/months and then forget about it, and maybe come back to it years later when it's either 10% of its original launch price or abandonware that can be easily pirated anyway. And for the games you really really want to keep forever, there's still GOG.com. But really, Steam does a much better job at keeping my games safe than I ever have.

When you think about it, the Web itself is similarly ephemeral. Most services are just subscriptions we use, dependent on the company that provides them. But they are still tremendously useful. Or Netflix, for that matter.

These online gaming services offer convenience and usability, which are way more important to most people than whether their purchases/rentals will still be there 20 years from now. It's just entertainment.
> You sure it's not booting kernel from eMMC, and the rest of the userland stored on NVMe?

I'm sure, since my RockPro64 has no eMMC (I didn't order one, and I just checked that my eMMC slot is empty).

I have Tow-Boot installed on my SPI, which when booted jumps to the NVMe device.

My initrd has modules "nvme pcie_rockchip_host phy_rockchip_pcie" which are needed for Linux to detect and then mount the rootfs.

Blockchain decentralization combats this by... making all the activity public knowledge for everyone?

I mean, I guess it "solves" a problem. No one company can gain an economic advantage via the dossiers they keep on people. At the expense of... nobody having any privacy ever again.
In my experience, if you're using a provider like Paperspace it can be a pretty slick experience. Before I had symmetrical upload and download speeds I would use Paperspace with Moonlight and it worked pretty well.
I'd go even further: inflation is setting the incentive for full throttle in the economy.

When you're seeing one extreme weather event after the other and a climate catastrophe is imminent, is it a reasonable choice to run the world economy at full throttle, considering that this economy is still based on ~ 80 % fossil energy?

It's like when your car is speeding towards a concrete wall ... and you keep your foot on the gas ... because you "want to make a really fast turn to the side to avoid the wall".

Remember headlines like "MILLIONS of EU migrants grab our jobs: Time for Brexit to FINALLY take control of borders" (Macer Hall in the Daily Express, 2016)?

They forgot the qualifier: millions of [...] jobs we don't want to do.

From here it will go as follows:

1. Farming (and other industries relying on cheap imported labor) will become more expensive in Britain.

2. The produce will be too expensive for the international market, depriving Britain of a source of income.

3. Either the British government will subsidize farmers in some way, impose tariffs on imports to keep their farmers competitive locally, try to attract cheap workers again, or just wait until British farmers disappear/the ensuing trade imbalance devalues the GBP so much Britons become the cheap labor.

You mean “practicing” by having parents who can afford to hire tutors for $100 an hour? As opposed to poorer students who might only be able to get tutoring before school with a class of 30 other people? Of course those courses are offered before the school bus arrives to school so even the one who were able to do that were the ones who had their own cars or parents who could bring them to school.

And school entrance is very much based on genes in the most prestigious schools.

It’s called “legacy admissions”
