I'm a linux desktop user. Today I use pygrid with a couple tweaks to get the Spectacle keybinds. I've used this with gnome and kde and it's fine. I would really like to use it with a wm that supports per-screen workspaces/virtual desktops. As far as I've been able to find, ONLY tiling window managers do this.

I've also used sway quite a bit. And i3... and even pop's tiling.. They are nothing, at all, like I've described.

I've gone so far as to setup sway to float all windows and created swaymsg keybinds to place/size windows like spectacle but discovered that sway has a bug with focus window up/down/left/right keybinds and floating windows.

(Perhaps these examples were saved for the subscribers-only section) Quite notable is the influence of those two films on later Western films--elements shots in Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream match those in Perfect Blue; the same for Inception and Paprika.

This temp branch (or even `git tag my_orig_branch`) approach is usually a better on-ramp than the reflog. It's still too easy to misread the line in the reflog of a prior HEAD change and go to the wrong commit, whereas the tmp branch is foolproof (and fatigue-proof).
Same. Their algorithm is broken.
Why are you talking about security guarantees? A bug is a bug, the point is to show that formal specifications don't prevent bugs. In some cases a warning text not showing up due to a bug or the wrong byte being sent to the serial port can have more severe consequences that any CVE-assignable issue.

>but WhatsApp in itself is a very simple product (that is very hard to scale)

What makes it particularly hard to scale?
You seem to be taking the position that printing money is the worst form of funding government and we should only do it if there are no other ways to do so. Printing money functions as a distorted but less bureaucratic and less invasive wealth tax. I don’t think it’s especially great but I think it functions reasonably as a piece of the puzzle. Without printing money we need to raise government revenues by close to 50% which is a rather drastic increase in taxation.
So you should also read the manual to know about. There no such thing as "intuitive" in VCS world. Looks like most of commentators confuse intuitiveness with familiarity.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate mercurial devs did a tremendous work to hide DVCS under SVN-like ("simple" hah) interface. But every non-standard thing requires manual reading.
> the dems want to murder babies

> Now is that hyperbolic, legitimate, rational reasonable?

obviously that is hyperbolic, irrational, and unreasonable.

assuming that you’re referring to abortion—those are not babies and it is absurdly hyperbolic to imply that an entire segment (81,268,924 people voted Dem in 2020) that more than 81 Million people want to murder babies. Obviously you can see how ridiculously hyperbolic and irrational your statement is.

as for the rest of your comment, it would appear like you agree that we have anything but a perfectly functioning system, even if you chose to ignore the larger obvious systemic problems which have been repeatedly and reasonably addressed by countless rational citizens.

so, with that said, even tho it’s clear that you are not engaging at all in good faith, and it would seem you are indeed attempting to paint entire massive segments of our citizens and their absolutely legitimate concerns as if they are all somehow unreasonable—your gp post still assumes a perfectly functioning system, and i believe a very convincing and strong argument can (and has repeatedly) been made that this is not currently the case.
IKEA devices have a tendency to drop off and need repairing. Every power outage would require repairing half of my lights. Their switches and motion sensors chew through batteries.

You basically need to be an expert on media encodings to know how to use the Media Capabilities API.

Random Web Front End Developer is not frequently going to be that person. And Person Who Managed All The Media Encodings is probably not likely to be working on the web front end.

Most likely scenario is the front end dev will get a chunk of JSON from the media encoding dev describing the media, and then be left to their own devices to figure out how to translate that into something the Media Capabilities API will understand.

Consistent results across browsers is also really difficult to achieve. Chrome in particular is super pedantic about the content type field. Firefox sometimes ignores parts of the content type field. It's nuts.
You use the quantum mechanics to design the graphene conformation that yield the best loads, and then infuse the concrete in your skyscraper with the graphene. Everything needs abstraction layers otherwise of course the complexity becomes mindboggling.
They're more akin to 'destructuring' natural numbers into successors. Consider:

data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat

You could pattern match on this Nat, fetching the inner Nat, allowing the type system to prove that all cases are handled exhaustively. Arithmetic patterns just extend this notion to the built-in Nat type.

Full dependent typing is something I'd like to experiment with in time, but I'm not there yet.

I dont see how this is anything except lack of imagination. To imagine that life can only be made of meat is pretty strange. To imagine the only way of "being" in this universe, is to be nearly identical in construction and behavior to humans is absurd.
a lot of the jumpiness in the sprites for the Apple II version is because in "hi-res" mode each 2 bytes gets you 7 pixels, so it's a lot easier to do sprites that are 7 pixels wide. Every other system tends to have 8-pixel wide sprites. So it makes it hard to convert graphics (you could make arbitrary-sized sprites but it's a lot slower and often involves large complex look-up tables)

back in the day the reverse caused problems too, you can look up the grumbling of people porting Prince of Persia to non-Apple II systems and having to convert all the multiple-of-7 graphics to systems expecting things to be multiples of 8
There is a difference between making projections of mythical, transcendental figures and outright retconning a character just to support a certain narrative.

We can not prove anything about Christ's appearance and Christian values do not change based on that. So it's only natural that people will represent Him as they are used to see their own people.

It is a whole other game to change the description of a character with a well-established description and a set context.
"It's supply and demand" is frequently code for "I'm coercing you, what are you going to do about it?" Classic example, when you ask why rent in town is so high, "it just supply and demand." Then one day you start seeing the same NIMBYs in the same objections to constructions, like "they tried building a cheaper home for me, and these NIMBYs objected, why" and it's shills for landlords, so not really that in love with "supply and demand" when it's not to their benefit.
This amounts to "so what if the people the KKK lynched just so happened to be black? this doesn't prove anything!"

That's the long lived edge case – I didn't really go into detail, but what the heck.

AIUI, assigning a new IP address to a mainframe isn't really hard: I'm told by reliable sources it's "just JCL, like everything else".

But assigning an IP address to a machine that's had the same one since the mid-eighties? When it has machines talking to it that don't have the concept of "DNS resolution", running programs whose source code was lost a decade ago? And all those things are the revenue critical systems? That's hard.

Talking with colleagues that have done large IP range sales before, this is pretty much the dominant strategy – your agreement sells all your contiguous space, then you have an immediate lease back provision for carved out space that gives you ~decade(s) of lease time to unwind whatever business processes exist that require those legacy IPs remain around.
I agree. If someone is feeling a certain way bascially telling them "you shouldn't care" doesn't make sense. Emotions are powerful and difficult to control, especially for young people

Ask HN: What are the benefits to having children nowadays?
given that, in 2022:

both parents will need to work to fund raising a child, so the mother necessarily has to do 1.5 or 2 full-time jobs

grandparents most likely don't live in the same city so you're reliant on strangers to raise your children

increased risk of autism / ADD / lack of focus because of the internet

the world is already over-populated, and however hard it is for you to compete with your peers, it'll be even harder for your children

etc etc etc (to name but a few)

I'm looking for new perspectives on why one should choose to procreate nowadays. I'm less interested in parents trying to rationalize what deep down they know was a bad decision, the perpetual "oh but I'd do it all over again" thing when clearly their life is a lot of worse and they're full of regret.

Fedex does not create their own electricity or fuel either, yet without those they have no going concern. Yet they choose to acquire those services on the open market because it is cheaper, even though they do make themselves more dependent on the supplier. In the end, full self-sufficiency is just not viable for large companies in a highly specialized economy.

In this case, if a cloud provider gets too monopolistic then the BATNA for fedex is to re-hire (or train) enough sysadmins to run their own systems again. That puts an upper limit to how much a cloud provider can charge for their services, in addition the competition between Azure/AWS/GCP will also keep prices somewhat down. The cloud providers know this and will price accordingly.

Well, any actor not closely resembling Orlando Bloom would be a continuity issue for me. That has nothing to do with skin color, just with not retconning characters physical appearances.

Indirectly, corporations are doing what is being dictated by the individuals. They produce what we are willing to buy. If we only buy the cheapest stuff, ignore how it is made and its impact on the environment that is what corporation will make. Unless we vote for governments that will make laws that will force these corporations to not offer environmental unfriendly products.

In the end there's more responsibility to the individual that we are willing to admit.

TFA's point was that indeed - no individual is paying it. The cost of insurance strongly encourages working for hospitals who will cover that cost, rather than striking out and running the kind of small, one man band practice that the author is nostalgic for.
As said in the reply from 10 hours ago, these were alaried engineers "paid to carry", so you're right, but it's not hard to imagine a company having an on-call rotation for such pager without any extra pay.
Then you're missing the point the website makes about this and other algorithms like it being extremely unreliable. There are tons of biases in the training data, and not just ethnic/cultural ones mentioned. For starters, you're comparing a crappy webcam to a model that in all likelihood is based on people's best selfies.

The model tries to fit you into a very narrow niche. On top of that it will do so poorly.
Thank you! There was one song from Jukebox I really loved and wanted to hear more of but had no idea how to go about extending it.
Re data, I think egress rates are going to start disappearing over the next few years.

The part that’s always missing with these rent vs buy analyses on HN for some reason is that it’s totally ignoring the opex cost of operating your own hardware which is going to be non 0. Sure, it won’t be quite as expensive (no profit margin) but it’s not an order of magnitude. Additionally, most companies don’t run the HW 24/7 and, if they do, it’s not a level of people they want to hire to support said operations. Not just running it, but you have to invest and grow something that’s not a core competency to get economies of multiple teams loading up the HW.

If the next revolution in cloud comes in to cause companies to onsite the HW again, it’ll look like making it super easy to take spare compute and spare storage from existing companies and resell it on an open market in an easy way. Even still, I think the operational challenges of keeping all that up and running and being utilized at as close to 100% as possible and not focusing on your core business problem will be difficult because you won’t be able to compete with engineering companies that have a core competency in that space.
My view is that feedback, especially negative feedback, should be timely.

If an employee 'discovers' negative feedback at performance review time it is not good, and the person may get the additional feeling that their manager withheld telling them in time only to 'frame' them on record at review time (I say that because I was on the receiving end once).

So I think that negative feedback in formal performance reviews is particularly sensitive.

Auto merge using a “semantic diff” sounds line a complete nightmare to me.

How many people actually check that git has merged code correctly? When there are no conflicts and the merge passes CI? Exactly.

Now imagine the git automatically fixes conflicts by rewriting code Copilot-style. It will work perfectly 95% of the time—--so that new feature is too useful to ignore and everyone uses it. 5% of the time git resolves the conflict by riddling your code with subtle bugs and vulnerabilities…

There are a few different ways to run a data center, a subset of which are much less expensive than the cloud but require a level of competency that some organizations will never have. It can also be relatively pain-free when done well. Some workloads are inherently inefficient in the cloud because of the architecture.

Data center ops is ultimately a supply chain management problem, but most people don't treat it as such. That was my primary learning from doing data center ops at a few different companies. If you get the supply chain management right, and are technically competent, there can be a lot to recommend running your own data centers.

Full-office tech jobs pay 1.9x less than full-remote
> The market of available mainframe operators has been drying up for decades.

Just like many other industries, the market for mainframe operators that want to earn less than technologists in modern stacks has been drying up. A lot of mainframe operators refuse to bring their pay scales in line with what developers in modern stacks are earning. Why take a pay cut to go work on a 40 year-old system when you can work on modern stuff with more money?

They keep the pay low and complain about a labor shortage to deflect from the fact that they're simply choosing to ignore market forces.
I mean, saying something in the universe is generated in a stellar process is borderline tautological, no? We are all stardust and we derive all our energy from the sun, after all.

Yes but with the chance at a job-for-life guarantee and possibly months off per year.

My wife & I have a couple academic friends and they make 1/4 our income probably, but they are unfireable & they also just took off for another 6 weeks stay in southern Europe at a family home this summer .. so there's that.

Guaranteed income & time flexibility are hard to measure in absolute dollars.

My wife & I are on the other hand on our 5th/6th job in our almost 20 year careers, never having had more than 2.5 weeks off consecutively. The hustle now is maximizing the dollars and building some alternative income streams so we can start to wind down the intensity in maybe 10 years and fully exit workforce in 20 years?

Also Tim Cook is from Alabama, just to pick one. Georgians can work in tech and finance and heck even move to SF or NYC. Or they can work remotely. Or they can work in hundreds of other non tech fields and make great livings as Americans. You are condescending as hell about these people in your defense of them and attempt to shield them from criticism.

Let me help you state your point in a non condescending way: “these people believe the pointy stick is pointed at them. They are engaging in acts of provocation and culture war because they feel threatened. They’re being radicalized to supporting acts of outright violence against medical practitioners and the US Government. They have their reasons.” Doesn’t sound so sympathetic when it’s put that way but also more evenhanded than your “the unfair world maaaaakes them do it also it’s really your fault” misty eyed silliness.
I have to keep reminding me of this! We’re here down on Earth looking for ways to push science further and reconcile the quantum world with the Standard Model, while the atmosphere may already produce things like gravitons or some exotic version of Supersymmetry that demands higher energies than expected.
I would look at land in northern California and build a rustic cottage. Depending on how close to the sea you want, you should be able to find a an acre or two for 5OK. The other 50k would cover the cottage, a nice deck, and wood fired hot tub.
