I have two 32" external monitors connected to my 17" laptop, so I use 3 screens: the laptop screen is usually for browser/slack/email, first external monitor is for Vscode code editor, second monitor is for tmux (watching a bunch of ML experiments on GPU servers).

I don't want to use different spaces on the same screen, to me it's like context switching, and I don't like that. I prefer to have everything open in front of me, so I just turn my head slightly to see what I need to see. It's like having a large work table where I can fit all my tools and materials.
If you maintain a package within the framework of a certain project, using its tools and repositories, they get to dictate the access control and other rules.

If you don't like how they run that, then develop whatever you're developing under some alternative hosting (perhaps self-hosting). Let someone else pull from your repository and update the packages elsewhere. That someone will play by the rules: using 2FA if the package is critical or whatever. You, the upstream, do not have to; you don't have to have any interactions at all with the downstream project.

The downstream project doesn't impose rules and procedures on you in order to impose undeserved obligations upon an open source developer, but because have privileges to publish changes. It doesn't matter whether or not you're the developer of those changes.

Range blocks are not only entirely rational but an essential part of the toolbox for Wikipedia administrators. There are many cases where a range block is the best option, and many ranges where the only edits ever are pure vandalism. Admins consider collateral damage in all other cases.

(Also: the Wikimedia Foundation has no part in this decision; it's entirely volunteer administrators.)

I will say, though, the main idea is correct: IPs suck for user identification, have sucked for a while, and are getting worse every year; eventually we'll be forced to switch.

Amazing. I came into programming from a bit of an unorthodox professional background. When I started learning web app development in a serious way, I got blindsided by some of the encounters with vim. In fact it took a long time before I even realized that it was vim I was interfacing with at first. wish I had this back then.

I've been in a 90s hip hop rut for the past couple years and I'm pulling myself out of it by making playlists of the original songs getting sampled (one great thing about good hip hop is that any given song or pair of songs tends to produce a pretty excellent playlist), and one thing I've discovered is that RJD2, a musician I was into in the mid-aughts during an instrumental hip hop phase, puts essentially zero effort into things; the best example I can think of there is "Bless The Telephone", which he "covered" from Labi Siffre in the funniest possible way.

Finding stuff like that will definitely give you a new appreciation for DJ Shadow (both, for what it's worth, were excellent live).

Also Labi Siffre: very good stuff.

The only time I've ever seen it be a problem was someone who had a like 20 year employment history on their resume and in that 20 years, they NEVER ONCE stayed at a company more than a year.

Naturally, their most recent jobs were all contracts and they didn't stick around after the contract expired. They expressed an interest in getting away from contracting, so we didn't really worry about it.

Still, it's super obvious when someone has a long history of not sticking around.

The OP's specific example doesn't sound bad. Honestly, I think 3 years is a typical tenure at most companies.

I have only known a few people (myself included) that stuck around a single company more than 2-3 years.

All laws are arbitrary. But the story of how we got them is meaningful.

Copyright exists to encourage more copyable stuff to be made (pg has a good essay on this topic, where he observes history shows the opposite of a copyright regime isn't openness... It's guilds and secrecy cults). What Google does (interpreting the data that scans to help you find references to searches) is considered either transformative work, or recitation of fact. Copyright does not prevent somebody from doing those things because those things make works discoverable, which encourages people to make more stuff.

> Talking about management in this specific way tells me that they see their management coworkers as enemies, and not as equals.

How am I being a jerk here, pointing out the obvious truths. I don't treat other people as enemies. I'm just speaking my mind about systemic problems.

I don't book company wide meetings that are (semi-)mandatory and waste thousands of person-hour of work time for the company, just because I enjoy it and am in position that can do it. I try to be mindful about the communication I initiate and treat other's people time with respect. I write TL;DR in my emails and optimize for groups performance, not just my own self-interest.

The thing you should deduce from what I wrote is that instead of being self-optimizing stupid/naive/cynical person, I actually (possibly irrationally) care about my craft and efficiency of the group I belong to, and can do my own critical thinking, instead of accepting status quo uncritically.
That can be your opinion, but I think it stands in disagreement with several events and facts of the Republican party. There are oodles of articles and books addressing the growing extremism of the Republican party, so I don't think it's even a controversial opinion. By just saying "oh, they're just another political party with different beliefs" is enabling their extremism. Any rational discussion with a Republican, at least those that I know, which includes family members, can often not be had. I understand that there are actual conservative political beliefs, but from what I can tell, they are not the ones driving the power dynamic of the Republican party. The discussions I have had quickly turn weird because it quickly becomes a case of religion, sexism, racism, or something else deep down affecting their political beliefs, which mainly consist of wanting everyone else to be like them and to do what they want (how they want).

A certain Republican sect literally tried to overturn the presidential election, threatening to hang the vice president, killed a capital cop, ransacked the capital, and only one Republican had the guts to vote against the president. Then that same party will decry people marching for human rights and supports violence against those groups. The Republicans are the same party that supposedly stand for small government but are hell bent on telling people what they can do with their own bodies and forcing religion to be taught in public schools. Republicans' reaction to mass shootings is more guns, while they are the ones that block any investigation into why these are happening or preventing people that should not be buying guns from buying guns. I happened to drive across the country during COVID. You could tell the Republican states from the amount of masks being warn. The Republicans blocked a third supreme court nomination by a two-term president in Obama that was 10 months ahead of the presidential election, meanwhile they rushed a third supreme court appointee by a one-term president just two months before an election, throwing out every reason they used to block Obama's nomination. These are all extreme positions that don't have analogs in the Democratic party.

> have no interest in discussing real solutions

Mind pointing that out? In fact, I've elaborated quite a decent amount. I'm not sure what you've brought to the discussion other than just stating disagreement and making bad faith statements. You are free to contribute or elaborate on what you mean by the Republican party not being extreme.

The solutions I believe that could help things are: increasing tax on the wealthy, limiting the amount of political donations including to interest groups and think tanks (i.e., get private money out of politics and government), abiding by separation of church and state, and increasing primary and secondary education.

How? Have you verified it? √(625+100) = ~26.9

You brought the measurements of your 16:9 : yes, one of the points was that a 27'' diagonal with a 25'' side cannot be 16:9, and is in fact more like 5:2, as written. Going from 25'' to 23.5'' makes a lot of difference in proportions.
While Jack intended the Commodore 16 to replace the VIC-20, and it was much better with its more RAM, higher resolution, larger palette, and more speed, he intended the Plus/4 to be used by small businesses. Unfortunately, the ROM apps were too primitive for business use.

Of course what Commodore should have done is release a "C64 Plus" as a backward compatible system, like Acorn, Apple, and Atari did with their series, with enhancements such as more banks of RAM, faster CPU, dual SIDs, and an enhanced VIC-II with new modes offering 80 columns and a larger palette, and a better BASIC. They could have added these features without breaking much existing software. Instead they offered the C128 with a C64 mode which resulted in little software being written for the C128 mode. The C128 is a great computer in its own right, but a "C64 Plus" with the backward compatible enhancements above would have been better. The C65 had some of these enhancements but unfortunately, like the C128, its native mode wasn't backward compatible and it had a C64 mode. Also, it was many years too late.

I have put our implementation of _exactly_ this in production last week.

Boot a "CD-ROM" via IPMI into a custom installer, flash image (generated from a Dockerfile!) to disk, reboot.
Install takes ~15 seconds, full process (going via POST once) takes ~4 minutes. This also allows us to have a "hardware validation" image (that one doesn't get persisted to disk).

Not sure if there's any plans to make it public right now, but I'll ask around. Feel free to contact me via email (in profile)

Ask HN: Music streaming algorithm mix-and-match: Does it exist?
I recently migrated from a longtime Spotify subscription to Tidal after getting sold on the CD bitrate. After going through the common procedure of paying a third-party to migrate my saved tracks/playlists/artists it was a pretty rocky experience as I really started to get the hang of the suggestion algorithms and feedback loops. The general flavor of the songs and artists popping up on track radios was so alien to me. Streaming services have replaced radio and the algorithms used to feed the listener have taken on the role of the DJ.

I'm curious if there is a way someone has found to use one service's algorithm to fetch content that is consumed on another. I am ready to dig deep into the APIs of Spotify, etc. but I want to know if someone else has gone down this path before? What were the largest hurdles?

Everyone already probably knows this, but if you search <Song Name> acapella or <song name> isolated vocals on youtube you can get the vocals to songs you want to cover. Sometimes its the original isolated, but sometimes its just someone singing it. I've been having a lot of fun with Reverbmachine's Legends bank and vocals from youtube. Eurythmics Sweet Dreams for example.

On a tangent, when I was in prison my mom died, and Kate Bush was her favorite music. Also in prison as a coping mechanism I created my own superstition that music on the radio was a message for me (I know it isn't but I needed a way to just get a little space to breath). Like Tom Petty meant the the day was going to turn out ok. So I programmed myself to be super receptive to Kate Bush being popular again and it's been amazing for my mood and productivity. Programming little positive things into my makeup has been really important in getting through stuff, be it addiction or just day to day difficulties.
Providing improved transport and transit is amongst the best way of increasing property values. A stellar example is Denver, Colorado, which grew in size tenfold in a decade after a branch line connected it to the Transcontinental Railroad in 1870, becoming the dominant Rocky Mountain region city, a title which might otherwise have gone to Chyenne, Wyoming.

It's also something of a two-edged sword: the property value boost makes further transit rights of way far more expensive to acquire. I've noticed in particular that much rail development happens either as greenfield projects within countries as they're first industrialising (UK and US in the 19th century, China in the late 20th), or following a devastating war or other economic setback --- Japan's shinkansen and to a somewhat lesser degree France's TGV are both legacies of WWII.

In the US, aside from political opposition from other parts of the transportation sector, it's wealthy landowners who are the most significant obstacle to new development.
I use vbox regularly on a Linux host, it’s not seamless but it works okay. I have custom built vm images with packer that do things like enable auto login and disable screensaver (these don’t matter on a vm, your host is where they should happen). I don’t need gpu so the vbox drivers suffice, but if I did I would probably consider getting a quadro or something and doing pci pass through (not even sure if vbox supports this)

As a cautionary though, vms are a good boundary but not a comprehensive one. If your threat model includes execution of 0day exploits (malware analysis or browser exploit chains) that can breach hypervisor perimeters you shouldn’t be doing anything sensitive from the host. RDP is better, but iirc there are some case studies of execution on the rdp client.

> You can't say that's more correct. That's a prediction about the future that's based on nothing, as far as I can tell.

The statement I made is based on what is currently communicated. The "terms" is purely "you need to use 2FA" (which just to be clear I already said I have no quarrels with). I cannot judge what will be the future requirements will be for critical packages. Donald Stufft from PyPI on Twitter said that he could imagine requiring signed releases (https://twitter.com/dstufft/status/1545503252871004161).

> I don't get the complication here.

Maybe there is none, maybe there is. The consequence however undoubtedly is that if you do not accept the terms you lose access to your package on PyPI.
> I don't see why Vim commands would be any different from typing on keyboards, or playing a musical instrument. They are tactile, and rely on motor control.

They are not tactile and they don't rely on motor control. It's typing them on your keyboard that is tactile and relies on motor control. I make use of muscle memory to type these words, not to decide what to type. Learning Vim is learning how to decide what to type, learning how to type it or to type it quickly is just learning typing.

The "memory system" mentioned in that quote is definitely involved in learning and using Vim but the other "system" mentioned, the "motor system" only deals with _typing_ things. The real hero, here, would be the "language system" in charge of assembling commands.

> I see no reason at all why this should be true.

And yet it is.

> Does the tool let the learner use keyboard to practice memorizing the commands, and they produce the exact same effects as inside Vim? If yes, then by what claim do you say it is pointless?

The learner can do all that within Vim itself so why do it outside Vim, which is freely available and comes with an extensive yet very approachable tutorial that goes way beyond what is offered in those online knock-offs?

Again, the tool in question only seems to cover very basic topics that are not going to help anyone "master Vim" anyway so why bother with it at all?

And again, learning Vim, let alone "mastering" it, has nothing to do with muscle memory and rote learning at all.

Vim itself comes with everything one needs to learn it. Learn Vim in Vim.

> Are you mad that it isn't free? Just come out and say that.

Well, I noticed that it went from $25 to $10 between posts. Who knows? Maybe it will be free by the third repost? Whatever the cost, the claims are false and there are much better ways to learn Vim anyway.

> No need to attack him so strongly.

Persons curious about Vim don't really need to be fed outlandish claims and promises one can't deliver either.
GPU Passthrough can be solved with LookingGlass (https://looking-glass.io/) if you just want a solve that particular problem. I'm not sure how well it works on a laptop but if you have a dedicated graphics card (e.g. Nvidia) you should theoretically be able to get it working the way you want. I'm sorry for the lack of elegant all-in-one packages. I too wish for an Excalibur of VM solutions.

>You are riding a bicycle. Explain

Oh man, where do I even start? Sensory input from the inner ear to balance, the networks that handle feedback from afferent signals from the periphery, efferent pathways to control motor movement. I don't even know all the details but it's mind bogglingly complex. Do I explain the molecular basis of action potentials? The modulating effects of inhibitory feedback within the networks? I feel like all of that barely scratches the surface of the insane complexity of neuronal networks

And how does one even begin to talk about our desire and internal drive to do things like ride a bicycle
Oh my. Plus/4 was my first computer. The best thing about it was that pressing alt-reset brought up an assembly language editor and very basic debugger/memory viewer. For some odd reason it also zero'ed the first three bytes of program memmory. That allowed me to learn assembly at the age of 7 and hack pretty much all the games that were available for the platform. I think if I got the c64 I'd have turned out a different person - from what I recall it did not have a built in, convenient assembly editor.
