Some of them also allow imports of raster images as shapes, or sometimes even HTML DOM objects (like a div). I remember this as a somewhat common feature, but it wasn't universal.

I suspect that the hard part here is if you need to be able to do transforms on it, like responsive canvases when the viewport changes (but still keep the dots in the right place, for example), or if you need to compose multiple rasters on top of each other while allowing arbitrary scaling and rotation on each. The graphics lib needs to be able to maintain the relative coordinates of each one, which you can't do if you just overlay the entire canvas on top of a static HTML div.

At a higher level of abstraction, the mapping libraries (openlayers and leaflet) handle this use case very well out of the box with a virtual coordinate system. Their intended use case is to be able to overlay roads and such on top of aerial photos, but the same math can be used on any set of images and layers, not necessarily in the coordinate space of Earth. The basic idea is just that the lib needs to know where every shape is relative to each other, regardless of each shape's transform or the overall canvas size and rotation and zoom.

Whitten, if you can provide some examples (even just sketched out on a piece of paper), we can maybe suggest a few?
Wouldn't setting the supply to zero produce a trade value of infinity? Likewise, you'd want an infinite supply for a $0 peg.
Laptops have reached weights and dimensions that, at least for my personal case, don't offset the downsides - I prefer without any doubt a 1.4kg laptop, with good repairability/performance/usability (including: cooling), than an unrepairable/poorly usable 1kg one. I hope that the Framework will gain popularity.
They are for me. I wrote a site to hold them. savedbits.com

I have yet to come up with a good way to harness them... every once in a while I go back and look at the tags and use them for research.

Tabs are just as bad... I get too many and then I stash them with one-tab and then repeat.
Over a long enough time period, all employee costs come out of the employee costs bucket.
There is already a suspected link between skin cancer and PUFAs, so it could also be that, since fish are rich in those.
Sure, that's a good example of something else, but do you have any examples of any forced updates?
They can take away WFH. It’s pretty simple. “You are required in the office.” They will eventually back fill those roles or make those that are left to fill the gap. Either way, they can and will soon.
This is the terrible things about murders... their victims never have a voice going forward, but they do. Good observation - what do you think is the right thing... completely forget the event? completely hide the murderer? review the victim's life before the murder?

Its a hard one for sure... you don't want to make evil famous... you dont want to invade the privacy of the victim... but you need to prevent things in the future

I'm just curious because Cloudflare seems to offer the same service. And Github itself can publish pages. How do you compete with them?
Some of the policies you benefited are from a zero sum game, so your gain is someone else's loss. When you benefit, you turn a blind eye to the negatives (this is the horse blinder reference).
You are going off topic. I am simply addressing your claim that the universe is made up of simple rules and saying it's NOT TRUE. I am ignoring the rest of your claims.

I am saying THAT specific claim is incorrect.

Whether it's possible to simulate human intelligence on a computer, it is certainly a viable possibility. I never made a statement agreeing or disagreeing with this. I basically agree so I didn't address THAT part of your claim.

There's actually more compelling evidence for your statement. The IBM blue brain project already did this with part of the rat brain. All this stuff is nothing new though, so it was uninteresting to me. I only addressed the part of your statement that is CATEGORICALLY WRONG.
Having motors along the whole trailing edge of the wing surely kills the glide ratio of this, right?

Losing power on one side seems like an even more frightening prospect. Even if the motors were somehow allowed to freely windmill, that's a lot of surface area for drag.

At the very least, it must have some unusual aerodynamic properties.
Powered lift aircraft are not controllable in a glide, nor are they capable of autorotation like a helicopter. Any complete loss of power will result in an unrecoverable spin. For safety these aircraft rely on redundant systems, plus a parachute.
I think this “plane” has a glide ratio that’s only slightly better than a thrown rock.
Oh interesting - thank you for sharing. I think I have heard of a podcast that did the same kind of thing... will circle back if I find it...
It reminds me of the standup bit where no escalator should ever be "out of order". It should just say "escalator temporarily stairs". I've got some smart lights, but worst case, they still have a lightswitch that works.
Today I read this article

https://tweakers.net/geek/196920/terug-in-de-tijd-9-dot-comb...

WorldCom was a company that was going to buy Sprint for 129 billion dollars.
A few years later it was struck from the corporate history books.

In capitalism things can just evaporate.
Who are the equivalents of Amazon and Google?

Amazon and Google.

This has been my biggest issue with cultocurrency since it’s inception.

The market cap of the whole lot is made up of maybe 0.04% innovative signing and 99.96% magic beans.

Useful use cases of the smidge of innovation can be exploited by the megacaps to extract whatever actual value there is - this current cesspit of Ponzi schemes will not be required.
> In both, the workers choose to live across a vast area.

I wouldn’t say this is that much of a free choice in Silicon Valley, where housing density is highly limited by regulatory means.
Yeah, given that this is an Economist article, I assumed they meant "lack of foresight", since they often write similar titles
That's not an answer to any of the questions he asked.

Why are you so evasive?

Just answer the questions.
I remember hearing about a study showing some insight into the stereotype about Asian countries being good at math compared to western ones.

The study was just your usual aptitude test for kids with math questions among other things. At the end there was also a survey. Sure enough, western kids tended to have lower math scores than Asian kids. Apparently the survey was very long and not every kid finished it. Here's the kicker: high math scores were very highly correlated with completing the survey.

It's hard to draw any concrete conclusions from that, but it seems that the "Asians are good at math" trope might really just be "Asians can sit down and focus". So it definitely seems that it's possible to have a culture either nurture or hinder its inhabitants ability to focus for long periods of time.

(this is where I heard about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcMKLwVlpJk very interesting talk)
It’s extremely easy. It’s possible to meter internet usage by a machine and also meter electricity consumption through an outlet. I imagine no one wants to go through the trouble of paying it.
The Cirrus SR22 needs ~1000ft above ground to effectively deploy the airframe parachute in a spin.
So, they have a 13mm chassis in height but cannot fit an audio jack, which is 3.5mm in diameter? They could just extend a 4mm diameter to the edges. You know, just put it here and don't fully extend this swift edge at the side: https://i.imgur.com/yuPFcuK.png

They are giving up functionality for asthetics.
And upon hearing it, I would decrease my trust that their words were shaped to portray reality clearly. It’d be much more clear to say, “man, I’ve been carrying a heavy weight of stress and loneliness.”

> no one in America currently is

Sadly, this is false. If I knew more about the current state of human trafficking, I’d provide some links.
Maybe, but in some countries there is also more of them.
I'm just paraphrasing NREL there. If you have a better grasp of the industry, which solutions in particular do you see?
I think I agree with you - the song is more about the situation around the murder. I think in the past, that was a way to remember the victim for those that already knew everything about the victim because they were neighbors etc...

As time goes on, it becomes more a haunting performance using the murder as a playground for emotion...

Interesting
Thanks! I just found this: https://news.ycombinator.com/rss. Perfectly hidden on the site itself. That's what happened to RSS.
I'm a decent leg spin bowler, but I'm a terrible batsman. I know a big reason is that I don't watch the ball after the bounce. I didn't learn the skill as a child and I find it very difficult to learn as an adult.

When I do force myself to watch the ball onto the bat, my head position lags and it throws my balance off, resulting in worse shots.
This all just furthers my idea that if I’m ever a time traveler, I’ll try and convince the past to make airplanes that all have aircraft carrier sling shot systems… for fun.
At what point is California liable because it effectively prohibited companies from using their existing office space?
I want to be careful not to write this off for people who find it inspiring and helpful, but it’s written from a very narrow cultural perspective.

I would personally characterize that perspective as a culture invested in prioritizing health, social trajectory, and professional accomplishment.

That’s obviously a lot of us here. But there a lot of communities and cultures who haven’t jumped on that train and don’t intend to.

> The comfort zone is a place where an individual uses a limited set of familiar behaviors to deliver familiar results. He is strictly focused on routines that are risk-free which stalls his progress in life.

Work in the family business, raise some kids to do the same, enjoy your holidays and your vices, take care of your elders and kids — is a lifestyle that huge swaths of the world find deeply satisfying.

And while there’s incredibly hard work in fixing a tractor or tending to a parent who’s declining, these are not outside the realm of “familiar behaviors producing familiar results”.

The comfort zone may not be for everyone, but can we acknowledge that it seems to work great for some?

Maybe the better thing to reflect on which lifestyle suits you, rather than thinking that one lifestyle is scientifically better and that you should pressure yourself to embrace it.
> The issue I take is with the equivocation they have made. Believing in Santa Claus and believing in a divine entity are two drastically different things.

Why? The only major difference I can see is that Santa Claus is explicitly understood as a made-up story, whereas Gods are believed in by others.

So there's social proof on the side of God, but in terms of tangible evidence they don't seem any different.
I suspect it's impossible to be the general streaming platform without offering content for an exorbitant price.

Content creation is an expensive industry, historically content consumers might need to drop 100-200 a month for access to everything via cable, theaters, advertising, DVD sales, and rentals. While there were more middle men, it's likely that a good chunk made it back to the production side.

8 bucks a month was probably always to cheap for what Netflix was offering without breaking the content production side. For Netflix to be what they were, they might need people to pay 100 per month or more and hope they can always produce good content.
Then maybe you didn't read the article throughly. The limitation is not directly due to thickness of the audio jack, but to the depth of it which would have limited the size of the heatsink.

And if those 13.5mm are used to the brimm by the case, keyboard and PCB, then there's no 3.5mm+ of free space left for the jack.

If you take a 3.5mm drill bit and start drilling in the sides of machine you're 100% gonna hit something critical. So yeah, Dell was right saying their tight packaging left no space for the jack.
> I don't mean to offend any VSC fans out there but the Jetbrains IDEs are simply better and more mature in every single way.

I must admit that I used PyCharm for a few years but ended up liking VSC more, and now that's my IDE. Just seems lighter and more pleasant.
I'm in a very similar situation.

> Being born before/away from computers would have been a disaster for my career potential, I think.

Oh, yes.
always good to see another boudreaux on HN :) tell thibodeaux i said whats happenin

The funny thing I distinctly remember during the edwin v duke thing, edwin edwards would run off with states money, in the states chopper, gamble it offshore, then replace it when he came back. Meanwhile duke was using funds with unknown origin to pay crop dusters to paint his name in the sky. wild times.

Also might I add, Klan in Akadiana was on AOC 5 during this time.
Same. When you get a certain level of experience built up, you figure out how to poke around the codebase / pipelines to learn what you need to know. Is it frustrating at times? Sure. But it’s easier for me to retain than reading 3 year old word docs.
That's the whole point of GP's comment. Planes glide with the control afforded by a rudder and a vertical stabilizer. Without that, it ain't pretty.
They figured it out, and politely asked you to please stop.

So please stop.
The researchers suspect this as well, though it can’t be concluded based on their data.
Ha - it is amazing how much of human history is just misery, isn't it? even for children growing up, there is always "evil" that is shared through stories like this as lessons. It's part of just being a human.
> 2) It's extremely difficult to bill things like fractional electricity

Electricity metering is a solved problem, simply put all the office receptacles and lights on a single circuit and use a CT (current transformer) and a 120v submeter [0] to record energy usage. Landlords use these for tenant energy monitoring and billing in commercial real estate.

I agree with the rest of your points, but keyboard navigation in VSC just blows (or I'm doing something very wrong). It's painfully obvious main VSCode developers must be heavy mouse users because you just can't do some things there without a mouse, or they're really awkward (for example, de-focusing the sidebar requires pressing some weird key combo (I think it's Ctrl+Shift+E or something like that?), while a simple Escape works in IDEA for all similar situations — de-focus the sidebar, de-focus a search result/debugger/whatever pane, close the search dialog, basically anything that means "go back to editing the code").

I couldn't find a key combo (or any way to configure it) to navigate between classes and functions in the same file. I find this to be very useful, I must be pressing it hundreds of times a day. VSC expects you to focus on the breadcrumb pane, arrow up or down to the name of the member you'd like to jump to, and press Enter, while in IDEA you just press Alt+ArrowUp (or down) and quickly jump between functions in the same file.

Same with search results. Do a search in IDEA, press Ctrl+Enter, it moves the result list to the search pane. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Arrow(Up|Down) lets you quickly jump between them. That's another thing I just can't live without. I couldn't find anything like that in VSCode, search is so awkward to use I just drop out to the shell and use ripgrep directly.

Close to 100% of IDEA/Rider's functionality can be controlled through the keyboard, and I think the developers themselves are using it heavily, because it's configured out of the box, hotkeys are discoverable once you understand the logic behind them, and they make sense (unlike in VSCode where hotkeys for many important functions are either not assigned at all, or are awkward out of the box. For example, who in the hell decided to bind "jump to definition" to F12? I'm getting flashbacks to how we played Mortal Kombat at the beginning of the century where you were expected to quickly press difficult key sequences to perform spectacular fighting combos.)

Most of the stories we here about pushing people back to work are really large companies with pretty significant investments in their campus. They aren't the smaller places that rent a bit of office space. Of course, I assume those leases are long, so they may still be locked in, even if they don't own them.

An empty building, or even a partially filled building, still costs a lot of money to keep. Having that expense when they aren't using it and can't see the value must drive the finance guys nuts. So if the company is paying for a space for an employee in the office, and they are playing for their expenses at home, the cost of that employee's workspace just doubled.
I've built more than one product that relies on RSS and after ~20 years, I still make a living from it (Currently https://biztoc.com) — Let me tell you that the death of RSS has been greatly exaggerated and seeing posts like these every month will neither help nor kill the format.
What do you mean by "the service"?
Very common in WFH companies, too.

And I think if they do it right they can have it avoid some tax, also. But I’m not an expert in that area.
I wrote an F# tool specifically for changing the primary display not too long ago. This is the code that calls the Win32 API to query the displays and set the primary one.

One thing I never figured out was how to map the displays you get from EnumDisplayDevices to the names you see in the display settings, or how to list them in a consistent order.

The extension API proposals and RPC protocol are open sourced and the server code is just an electron-less version of the regular VSCode extension host (hence, remote extension host, REH). This is all part of the VSCode OSS release.
What the proprietary extensions provide is integration. For example, the SSH variant automatically installs and launches an REH instance on the remote host and sets up port forwarding. If you are willing to start the instance and to forward ports yourself, you can use the tiny extension I wrote [1,2] (See the README how to enable the necessary extension proposals.). It allows you to connect to a local port you configure in the config. It is based on an example extension (vscode-test-resolver) in the OSS release that is used to test this functionality [3].

Microsoft is not really hiding any of this, so I am a little surprised, that nobody wrote a similar extension so far...

>Why are Google, Microsoft and Apple so inactive here?

They did by adding push notifications to their browsers.

RSS seems pointless to use now that web push notifications and twitter exist. Twitter solves the scaling problem where you are subscribed to too many things. It has an algorithm to sort your feed so you don't have to waste time scrolling past uninteresting articles from people you've followed if you are following a ton of different content creators.
Perfect! Ooc do you keep the old business license around for side projects? I've thought of creating a corp for this purpose.
But there's only two USB-C ports and USB-C hubs don't exist. If you're charging your laptop and using a headphone adapter you're SOL if you need to plug anything else in.

Edit: USB-C only hubs. Everything I've seen is USB-C to USB-A/HDMI/Ethernet/Audio (though that resolves the above problem if the DAC is decent enough)
There _are_ Thunderbolt docks (which this XPS 13 supports) which provide USB-C ports but they're pricey.
Not having a replaceable battery is a real problem.

I have a circa 2018 Xps13 9370 that I’ve used regularly for non-work coding it generally still works great. Recently it was only lasting 60 minutes on a charge, but $50 to Amazon got me a new battery and now it’s great.

I don’t really need a new computer and the battery is the one thing that is sure to fail. The CPU and 16G memory are fine for Windows 11 and WSL2 (or Ubuntu).

It’s a waste to build machines that are designed to become trash, especially in todays world where hardware improvement curves have flattened so machines are usable for many years.
It's not just Google Maps. Google gives absolutely zero shits about any country that is not the US. Actions for Google doesn't let you make custom intents if it's not in en-US. The Pixel for the longest time released US-only/US-first. Features are always locked and only available for the US.

I'm not really convinced by the "intentionally inaccurate" arguments (if they want to deceive, then surely they could also just serve a fake PDF to Googlebot). But I suppose it's reasonable to assume that restaurants would be less likely to keep their metadata up-to-date than they would their PDF menu. Unintentional inaccuracy, in other words.
New problem: invert this menu and sort it by the third letter converted to lower-case, filtering out seafood. Present all item descriptions with infix notation.

The difference is that this lawsuit's judgement will affect not just Amazon but every tech company in California. The thousands of companies that popped up remote-friendly positions overnight will all have to reassess their stance now that they could be on the hook for employees' electricity, internet and even rent.

Right now Amazon and Google have to compete with a startup that is offering a competitive salary and fully remote positions. Can the startup survive if employees start billing them for the cost of their home office?
