I've been using it for a few years now (across 2 laptops and a tower). For basic usage, it works pretty great. So terminal + internet + basic programs. KDE is wonderful by default and easy to customize (not a NixOS thing). For more specific stuff it can take some elbow grease (packaging software, playing games, more exotic system config). Between the nixpkgs issue tracker and the official docs/wiki, it's pretty easy to figure things out.

And my computer is infinitely hackable and idiotproof at the same time. That's helped me learn a lot of Linux stuff by doing fearlessly.

And this isn't to mention how nice it is that all 3 of my machines' full config is in a monorepo, with shared config abstracted into Nix modules.
Making it compile with TLS support is really trivial, just an option in a config file:

We have done something very vaguely like this twice, in the sense that we rented out our house for several weeks while travelling. There are always people looking for three month rentals because their house build has been delayed, etc. For us, the money helped cover travel costs. If you're in a popular location, you will likely do far better than we managed.

Obviously the logistics for travelling are one thing, but on your side the work you can absolutely start doing now is compartmentalising the personal parts of your house. Have a lockable area (garage, spare room, etc) that you can store personal possessions. Make it so that as many of your things are easy to box up and stash. It will help if the lockable area is somewhere you can naturally use in daily life; e.g., if it's a study, you can have all your papers in there already, electronics, whatever. Have a clear idea of what things you'll leave available for tenants (crockery, staples, in our case kids' toys).

In our case, the pack-up process was non-trivial - hundreds of items of clothing, shoes and so on getting boxed up. I think that's deterred my wife from rushing to consider it again.

Edit: Looked you up - yep, you're in a great spot. What a dream! House swap?! ;)
It's not helping the source so it's not really important
Also not OP, but I use my quest 2 just about every day, so I could share a bit.

I've gone through phases since purchasing it where there is one game or another that I get into, but the general theme has been something with a 'physical' aspect to it + skill development (Beat Saber is a characteristic example here). The exception from that theme was when Half-life Alyx came out—I enjoyed it and put a good amount of time into it. Similarly, when I've felt more social I've deviated from my usual pattern and used Big Screen VR (social movie/tv watching app with virtual theaters/lobby) to hang out and talk with others.

Currently—and this has been going on for months—I play Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever daily. My sessions are typically between 20min and 1hr. For me it's a great way to get into "flow" because it forces you to keep your attention on your external environment, precisely control your actions (i.e. aim accurately), waste absolutely as little time as possible (the goal is to beat levels in smallest amount of time, compete with others on high score list)—and the biggest selling point: I can do this while standing up and moving around a bit, it's not going to keep me at my desk where I've already been all day.

I've been using the headset regularly since I bought it (a couple months after it was first released). I've gone through "dry spells" with it where I kind of forgot about it or didn't have anything I felt like playing—but mostly I've found consistent use for it.
Silly me, I just clicked on the first link that wasn't an ad, and it was the official apple support article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209037

I agree that it would be awesome to use an iPhone in this context. But given the problems my friend has, and given the problems in general with mac wifi and latency, any use as a webcam would be far better if it were wired. Hopefully that will leave a niche for this company. That, and using Android phones, and hooking any phone to a Windows box.

Yeah, yeah, the right of exit and all that. But that's still overlooking that companies, especially the most successful ones, start to resemble the exact same kind of institutions that those who are the most pro-private sector decry.
Enjoy your terrible FoV. I'll to take my nonglasses form factor immersive headset instead.
This was an argument why email will never work too. Spam filtering will get better over time.
I prefer dish liquid detergent; never pods or machine powder detergent, it is not good for your skin. Disclaimer: I worked for one of the biggest manufacturers of household detergents. Warning: too much liquid detergent may get you in trouble on airports.
It’s a similar problem to universal healthcare and the US government structure in general.

The US actually got there first, and hasn’t collapsed in any wars recently, and as such we’re on the old version of all government software so it all sucks yet nobody is willing to risk upgrading. Starting from scratch is a lot easier since there’s nothing to lose. (And of course, having the country collapse is bad too.)
So how does the service authenticate the user?

User installs a browser extension (wallet) that is created by a third party that they have to trust unconditionally?

Is that what the promised land of zero trust is about? Trusting a 3rd party with all your finances?
And yet, there are a lot of early adopters of Chromebooks who modded them to share the kernel with a full linux environment, tied to a key toggle, while still using the lighter browser-as-OS for its strength, web browsing. Myself included.

Keep in mind, Google's reputation among hackers has dropped a lot in recent years. Trying out an operating system where the core premise was "you spend 95% of your time on your netbook just in a browser, why not optimize for that and strip away the rest" was an intriguing proposal. This was back when doing things in web apps instead of desktop apps was new and forward-thinking, not totally overdone the way it is now.
Try Robo Recall.
> Traitorous Eight

employees who left and started a competitor? how is that mutiny?

> ousting of Jobs

technically, the board had the voting power, and he wasn't even CEO. Generals removing a lieutenant isn't mutiny. If anything, he was planning a coup (mutiny) himself.
The Kernel isn’t managed solely through patches and README files. There is often a lot of up-front communication and documentation.

My takeaway is that the planning and the issue/bug-tracking and the patch submissions are three seperate somewhat independent processes. There are no managers trying to group all the tickets into patches and patches into projects in some sort of neat (but illusionary) hierarchy.
Truly a rarefied pleasure.
Same way anyone knows anything, really. I look at what they've said, look at their actions and decided if they matched. You can tell that they genuinely want and try to do good.

Certainly feel free to evaluate differently for yourself.

I watch a lot of their content. Mostly it's just fun, but I do trust them to have pretty good takes on things when I'm considering buying something as well.

I do always check others though, mostly for the real gritty details that LTT doesn't usually focus on. I'm hoping that their Labs project starts providing a lot more of those too.
Self sovereign identity is exactly this.
> Ok, now what are the downstream effects?

Is this an intentional or unintentional pun?
This reads as being quite arrogant. You may turn out to have made a good bet, though even in that case, you shouldn't be sure that it was a guaranteed thing like you seem to believe.
This seems weird to me. I hear it all the time, but I don't understand. It's a few hours, even as much as a day of effort - to make a huge jump that might be worth hundreds of thousands of Dollars, or perhaps have other major lifestyle improvements. And "if I can get a similarly..." - sure, but is it not worth a few hours up front to find the best job for you? I would happily to 4 hours of work to get a 1% better job.

Of course, if it's STEP 1, and you're faced with many iterations of this, that's a different story. But if I'm somewhat certain that I'm looking at a great offer from a great company at some point, why not spend the 4 hours?
If there's money to be made (and there is) assume it's getting gamed to some degree.
> They allow you to deposit and place trades, but as soon as you attempt a withdrawal, they notify you that you have to re-verify your identity with them.

Do they allow all trades, or only trades involving the newly deposited funds and descendants of such trades?

That might be an interesting approach to trying to lessen the harm of a false positive from their fraud detection. Essentially put a complete activity block on everything currently in the account (money and stocks), but only block withdrawals on things added to the account after the fraud detection hit.

If it turn out to be a false positive then it is still pretty annoying, but at least you get to continue with some activity so you account isn't totally useless while you get reverified.

If it turns out that the account has actually fallen into the hands of a scammer, they can't harm what is already in there and if they put some of their own funds in to try to trade for some reason then that ends up as a gift to you when you get the account back.
In case, like me, you had to look up "Eminent Domain":

Desertion isn't mutiny now? Acquiring Jobs' splinter cell, and making him a general, isn't rewarding his attempted mutiny?
Sounds like you're underpaid ;-)
I am curious what you find enraging about this article.

He clearly didn't want to go join another company – he joined Mapbox because he shared its early vision, and thought that original vision was worth fighting for.
Are you saying other countries don’t have “very poor”?

You’d be wrong then. Countries with universal healthcare and other social programs still have the very poor.
Yeah, this is the issue I see over and over. There isn't a good alternative available, so the complaint usually comes down to "but if it were free and open and they didn't charge these "commissions" then I'd make more money!" It's all theoretical though, since the only other sizable platform has kind of the opposite problem. Lots of potential customers who don't spend as much money, far more competition and even if you clearly have a superior app, you have to spend more time/money getting potential buyers to recognize that.

It's been shown over and over again, if you're going to build a mobile app and want to make a profit, you build it for iOS first, then if it isn't a huge cost sink, also make it for Android. The people most likely to pay well are iOS users. Why is that? Anybody against Apple will just call the users stupid, but if you really analyze it, most users believe that Apple provides a better platform, better app selection on their app store, etc.

There's clearly still an issue between "Apple wants to protect its customers" and "Apple wants to _protect_ its customers".
Why isnt WSL a solution. It's a VM now and starts cold in less than 5 seconds
It's a way of setting up a 401(K), that funds a corporation.

Kind of a pain in the butt, and not many accountants know of it. There's a lot of fairly strict rules. You can't paint outside the lines.

There's a company that specializes in this kind of thing. I don't really want to go into detail, here, but feel free to get in touch (my HN ID has contact info).
I’m pro-choice - does this mean that I think every fetus should be aborted?
People died because someone killed them. That someone wasn't you.

People are responsible for their actions, and no more. The guy that pulled the trigger with the gun pointed at someone did the killing. the person who made the bullet, the gunpowder, the rifle, the clothes the killer and victim were wearing, are irrelevant.
Single rooms, and from the very short description, apparently no running water?

> Each room will have a bed, a desk and chair, heating and air conditioning, a window, and most importantly a door that locks.

This is a very special purpose shelter apparently. It's not something I've ever heard of before, but seems to be simply a building full of what most middle class homeowners might describe as "walk-in closets" -- big enough for someone who is otherwise homeless to crash in for the night.

And as you say, by bypassing basically every possible regulation that might have applied to a typical "residence", the baseline construction cost of these 31 "walk-in closets" is indeed fairly low.
Help who? I’m specifically talking about an employee getting standard common stock.

If liquidation preferences are coming into play, you’ve already lost as a common shareholder. But you should never be in that situation to begin with. If a company is struggling or growing slowly, quit and join one that isn’t.
Systems of ownable water rights to rivers is centuries old. This is a solved problem.
I did a few motorcycle tours across Europe and laundry was one of the challenges, they are not everywhere. In US it was supposed to be true, until I had to stay a month in a city where all laundries were closed.
> In spite of everyone hating it, we have the luxury of Spotify, Netflix, Apple+, etc. because of DRM.

I doubt this. All of these services have one thing in common: it's easier to just subscribe than it is to torrent the content. It's not particularly difficult to find original-quality torrents of Netflix content, for example.
I lived out of a rollaboard suitcase for several years and I dropped both the electric toothbrush and shaver in favor of a simple toothbrush and regular Gillette-style razor. Much smaller and lighter, never needs charging or breaks, trivially replaceable anywhere on the planet when they wear out. Contrary to popular belief, you don't even need shaving cream, just shave 'raw' after a hot shower when your skin is already moistened up.
Thanks for your work in developing this!

Does Lexical have a feature to set arbitrary CSS on a particular selection range? I've been looking for a solution to do this since the WebKit's -[WebView applyStyle:] is deprecated as part of WebView Legacy. It isn't clear to me from glancing at the docs if RangeSelection.formatText() or other methods can handle anything or just a subset of styling code. Thanks!
Saying, "OK, but as a total percent of the air in your home at any given time, the difference is tiny" is … weird. It's still a 10x difference.

Using small numbers to make the difference look small doesn't hide that.
Money is paid for the employees backs and the business entity owns all the IP. Employees agree to this and can leave at any moment. They are welcome to start a co-op style company and give that a go. But would a VC want to invest in such a company? Prob not.

People like to pretend we don’t live in a cut throat capitalist system and that it has worked out best.
Isn't the human body essentially advanced hardware through which we perceive reality? If our computer hardware had the same specs and could provide the same visual fidelity, you might not be able to tell the difference.

I was similarly shocked when people bitched about confluence. First, do you have a better alternative? Second, do you undrstand the nightmare before jira and confluence?
Web 2.0 is much more about user-generated content than it is about XMLHTTPRequest. So the premise about WikiPedia is largely valid.
What happened to disruption, innovation, experimentation in this industry? What happened to move fast and break things?
What sucks though is when companies say 4 hours but then give extra credit to projects that clearly took more than 4 hours.

I did a take home project for Netflix that didn't have a time box IIRC - but something like "no more than a few hours". The task was to code a few movie poster carousels w/o using a web framework. Basically to create your own mini-higher level framework paradigm from vanilla JS or a low-level framework like JQuery.

I spent 7 hours on it and was fairly proud of it. I got dinged for not creating a virtual DOM and instead using the actual DOM as a source of truth. I even put in my notes (which I don't think were read) that in the real world you'd probably use a virtual DOM for this, but that would be a whole project in itself. Apparently I was supposed to spend the whole weekend creating React from scratch.
I love my Quest 2 and really count on it for my daily Eleven VR Table Tennis sessions.

For me, the real mainstreaming point though will be when we have actual lightweight glasses or goggles rather than headsets. With AR and VR built in. And/or attachments for glasses would be even better for me since glasses are tough to wear with headsets.

Yup. And people always fails to think about such boundary cases.

Like

Obviously a certain amount of population is unable to do that.

Bacteria can do this too.

This kind of failure of the poor-defined "consciousness" leads to the end of conversation.
> Looks like you can use this sort of technique on ~every CPU someone might plausibly be using as a laptop to write code on[0]

Problems with that:
- You still need a fallback and to deal with different archs.
- SIMD is a different way of coding. You can't take algorithm from Wikipedia and just implement it in SIMD.
- Even if you code it to perfectly use SIMD, using those instructions, might result in higher CPU demands.
- You will still lag behind games, because those use CPU+GPU while this heavily taxes CPU. You would need some GPGPU. Which is like SIMD all over again.

> I'm arguing that this is probably not due to the essential complexity of text editors.

Today's code editors are less text editors and more databases of ASTs. They very much are complex by necessity.
Couldn't scroll down to see the whole thing. Why limit the radius at which you can add planets and things?
We don't want your shitty alfalfa in our states either. California and the Southwest aren't the only places with water problems. You lot have just depleted yours faster than everywhere else. It'll take decades to build your aquifers back up to nice levels. All of those planned foundries everyone on this site has been excited about in Arizona? Not enough water. Ever hear of Flint, Michigan? Water infrastructure is expensive, and people in this country are allergic to taxes. The Ogalalla aquifer is being depleted, and most people depending on it probably don't know it exists or how to say it. Salt Lake City is drying up, and the little water left there is all that's standing between a few million people and arsenic dust and other toxic, tiny shit. More people to move, and more houses lost early to the changing environment.

California is burning, sinking, drying up, and unaffordable.
Your rivers are becoming creeks. Lakes dry up. Reservoirs drain to thirsty farms and cities. Water is bottled and sold from California to places with plenty of it. Alfalfa, almonds, and unauthorized weed farms are drinking up most of your water that isn't immediately drained into the ocean. Desalination plants aren't being built in time and have their attendant costs and ecological considerations. Snowmelt is reduced as snowcaps disappear due to global warming. Aquifers are drained after a century of drilling and wells and byzantine water rights and legal doctrines not updated much in a century. The aquifers are so drained that the ground is sinking above the empty cavities of the depleted aquifers. Wild salmon in California will most likely die out. The seas are rising and threatening to swallow up "The Valley" and introduce once-freshwater ecosystems to saltwater. Single-family zoning covers the majority of California. Millions of economic and climate refugees are going to be playing ping pong across the US trying to find that affordable, safe, pleasant life in another state in the American pipe dream, thereby straining the barely-there infrastructure of low tax, reduced government red states and causing local spikes in prices and forcing poor people further and further out. Good luck. . . There's so much work to be done, and I feel tired thinking about it. But, it needs to be done.
A laptop from 20 years ago would almost certainly have USB ports. The first computer I saw them on was a Sony VAIO in 1997. Compaq was also sporting them at the time, and of course Apple heavily adopted them in 1998. By 2000, practically every computer had them. Yes a USB stick should work with those.

USB floppy drives can still be purchased, and will generally work with anything, including android phones lol.

this is more a hygiene and habits question . sit down weekly and review your habits like where you are spending your time and what apps you are wasting time on . then prune the low quality experiences .

you’ll also have to be willing to cut some good things out . like uninstalling twitter which is probably 90% unhealthy and 10% constructive content

you don’t need to read news or politics more than once a month . most of it is drama and regurgitation rather than developments and trends

as for tools you can use adblock custom filters to hide political banners but the ROI is low . install pihole and you can blacklist domains . the awesome lightweight list links to text only news which can help reduce news cravings

Testing Search Engine Optimization Scalably Without Breaking a Sweat
Houses can be cheaper in Rust Belt areas, but often for a reason. Sometimes that reason is that over the last ~20 years, people have been working hard to escape those areas due to stagnant or failing economies.

One of your listings, for Ladysmith, Wisconsin in particular, has been dropping in population by roughly 10% each decade since 2000. Same goes for the house in Nebraska, the town it's in has been dropping in population at about the same rate since 1980.

It might work out if you can do remote work for the rest of you career, but some of those listings, like a different one from Michigan, are for homes in towns with about only 1,700 people total in a 160 sq. mile area and with a per capita income of about $18,000 a year. Your options for work dwindle really fast if you lose your job after moving there.
