HOV lanes should be for car pooling. Therefore to qualify a vehicle should have multiple people who are eligible to drive themselves, i.e. adults. So in this context there should be no debate.

Yeah, I am worried he has a mental imbalance that makes him unsuited for some decisions. If he is wise he should just focus on a few things and do it right. I admire what he has done for space travel for example, but hopefully he doesn’t have to many yes men around him that make him to do much unstable things.

I also have this Eizo 1:1 (1920x1920) monitor and I use it in quadrants for status/monitoring.

I wouldn't want it on my actual workstation ...
What did I misunderstand?

Yes, I get that if there are 'material issues' maybe he can walk (even though he apparently waved a lot of that).

He can't just walk away for 'no reason' and not pay the fine.

The crashing price is probably not a legit reason.
To be fair to Mattel, we don't know their motivation in leaving it out -- that's speculation by the author of the web page.

Although knowing their history (google "Barbie math is tough") we probably shouldn't extend them too much benefit of the doubt!

You must be referring to Facebook and Twitter.
To be fair to the poster, we have in general horizontally distributed eyes. Yes the display is squarish, so the focus uses similar distances, but maybe the game of peripheral vision gives the L↔R space some advantage.

I would install extra eyes.
In Japan I was surprised to see that for large fruit like apples etc. they actually put a bag over the fruit when it is young, so the fruit stays protected from all manner of pests for its entire lifetime, up until retail purchase in cases.
I have now seen what this does, but that is nothing compared to what nearly all window managers on Linux allows, next time you're at such an installation, try hold alt down, and press anywhere in a window with left mouse and move, or just somewhere remotely close to a corner and right click and move.
This is the passage that taught me the word hypergolic, while the book itself tried its best to teach me how to write about obscure subjects naturally.

Google is another one of those companies that controls people with whatever power you give them. I don't want to be reliant on them as much as I don't want to be reliant on Microsoft.

I'm sure their engineers are great, as is the code they write, but that makes them what you might call a tasty poison.

Processed sugar. And it could be better said the other way around: processed sugar is more dangerous coupled with high fat intake.

Sugars bound in fiber are fine. No one got heart disease

It's not like there's another buyer out there offering $44 billion. Twitter has no reason to settle, unless maybe the stock price goes way up.
> entirely our own design and architecture, with no white-label or pre-existing ODM/OEM parts

My impression was that Quanta does way more for Framework than final integration. Well, good to see that somebody takes on the design themselves today.

> The cost of developing a from scratch laptop like ours is closer to the mid seven figures.

With most of that being the cost of buying the reference design, and access to the documentation I believe?

I last worked on a budget Atom laptop back in 2014. Back then the docs were freely available with enough good Googling, as well as commercial quantities of Atom chipsets sold around Intel's channel. Now I believe it's near impossible without going through an Intel approved IDH.
Use italics to make comments obvious instead of making them some colour that doesn’t contrast with the background much. Comments are pretty important so I don’t know why typical syntax highlighting obscures them. I think italics make them conspicuous and conspicuously not code.
The deal can be stopped by a third party which is not the case at this point. See another grandchild comment that expanded on that.

Either he prevents VSC from upgrading itself somehow (I wouldn't know how) in which case I would worry a little about security vulnerabilities or he is forced to deal with changes in his experience of the app -- or at least that is what happened to me when I was a VSC user.

Maybe you are the kind of user who tends not to notice a change in your experience unless the change prevents you from doing what you want to do. I would like to become more like that, at least for a trial period, so I can compare that way of existing in the world to my current way of existing, but it is not clear to me how to change myself in that way (with the result that I stop noticing details that are irrelevant to the immediate task).
I don't. I usually say I'm taking a few days off. I've never seen a project's deadline so important that I should sacrifice my mental health for it. After a rest, I take it very slow, stopping whenever I feel pressure mounting.
Assuming that is the appropriate penalty (I know nothing about Chancery law), why exactly can’t they just issue a warrant for his arrest and put him in jail? He doesn’t have a private militia or anything like that
I have had this specific system for about a year, and I get about 4-5 hours battery life for my main use case, which is web development, zoom calls and remote computing with Remmina (RDP). One of the best things about it is the native support for Docker. Overall, I have been pretty happy with it, and will probably purchase from System76 again when it's time to upgrade.

Happy to answer any questions anyone has about it.
To my knowledge, there is a combination of specific views on the site that highlight important features of the site (an obvious example might be the list of flagged comments; a less-obvious example might be https://news.ycombinator.com/topcomments which shows the top-most comment of each front page item) as well as email alerts from a variety of sources, some of those being user-driven.

I like how they target programmers specifically on their landing page.

I wonder how well it works in practice. I typically have multiple tabs open so I don’t mind going wide over long. But it is easier to look down rather than sideways.

ADUs generally have plumbing/electrical and are permanent living spaces. You could get away with an accessory building (permit required) or depending on your zoning, a smaller structure/shed (no permit required).
You can absolutely mention brands and even link to product pages.

I'm interested in having a USB-C powered screen as a second monitor for my MacBook Pro, but would want it to more closely match the same resolution. 1080 just won't cut it.
Wow that's incredibly depressing. Yeah glyphosate kills weeds by inducing unsustainable growth and forcing the plant to overextend itself and die as a result. So it makes sense that if you apply it to a crop you're going to harvest anyway you'll get a bit more yield out of it.

I guess tech+ban is the only way to go, unless we're okay forcing ourselves to play the cancer lottery with worse odds.
I’m not sure it’s legal to have standing passengers in high-speed trains. That’s why you have to buy your ticket before getting into the train, and showing the ticket to railway company personnel if requested. You have an assigned seat there.

In the short-distance trains you can get into the train only by passing a card through a rfid reader. Maybe you should compare this trains to UK ones.

Thus, Spain has less population than the UK, is less centralized than UK (where almost everything is in London) and Spain is much more mountainous. We can’t really compare these two countries.
Probably a teacher of programming. I love seeing the "aha" moment in people's faces when the finally get something. It's an instant gratification even bigger than when cutting code. I used to work as a teacher in a local college while doing my Masters.

Or someone whose ego is so inflated and actions are on a whim due to being vastly rich that he just had a wild hair up his ass and said he'd buy Twitter. Remember, the Twitter buyout bullshit was after he'd done some shenanigans failing to report buying Twitter shares. People complained (on Twitter no less) and he literally went "oh well I'll just buy Twitter then." Egg on face now that he's seen just how utterly insane his proposal was.
You have to have an alternative management plan in place, obviously.
Any law that carries a fixed fine and no jailtime is a law that rich people can break with abandon, yet would ruin a poor person. A $50 parking ticket is a major burden for a person making minimum wage (essentially a day of their life to recoup that); whereas for a rich person their money makes that amount for them in less time than it took me to write this post.

Or, from another perspective: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
The point is that paying the ‘fine’ doesn’t give him the right to walk away for ‘no reason’. If he does he may end paying damages for much more than $1bn.

Most deep-space probes use storable hypergolics (hydrazines + nitrogen tetroxide). Some of the crazy parts of this book actually came true!

(I don't intuitively understand how the JWST has $10 billion precision optics and hypercorrosive oxidizers right next to each other, and nothing bad happens. Engineering baffles me).

While you'll be able to start learning and using Kotlin on its own, you won't be able to escape having to pick up some information about Java along the way, especially as you dive deeper into the language or make more use of Kotlin's features.

You'll also be wanting to use Java library at some point whose documentation is in Java, so you'll also have to be able to 'mentally translate' the documentation. One of the things you'll have to get accustomed to in Java as opposed to C# is just how many libraries you'll be importing, for features where the language itself either doesn't provide anything or provides a poor implementation.
Your confidence in big Agri and big Pharma would be hilarious, if it wasn't so dangerous.

Do you have any idea what all the chemicals we're pumping into the lakes and rivers and earth and ocean are doing to the biosphere?

Seriously! How many species above the background rate are going extinct every year?! The blame for that lies squarely and undeniably at the industries you have such blind confidence in.

Writing FizzBuzz in MySQL 5.7 for no good reason
Historically states abused all of these powers. The Senate was a national disgrace even more so than by modern standards, fully dominated by machine political power brokers and regressive politics.

When that era was ended, the states systematically abused that power to exclude black and Latino voters. In some places that extended to Catholics and Jewish communities.

The play on nostalgia and ancient precedent is nothing more than a vacuous and flimsy veneer on supporting discrimination and exclusion. Reactionaries are always talking a big game about high and mighty principles, but delivering the same old machine politics in a new skin.
The phrasing could be read that way “No. The $1B clause does not involved the two contractual parties pulling out of the deal.” (Emphasis mine)

Of course they could, you just have to prove that they are harmless (at least in their expected usage and dosage)

Uhh. No. London had the Underground literally 100 years before this and Boston had a subway around 1900. Paris, Moscow.. many subways predate BART.
OP is pretending falsely to help people "master Vim" via repetition. I'm using the same strategy to steer people toward better ways to learn Vim, without the lies. OP doesn't need help, it's the potential victims of that scam that do.
Again, I'm not gonna defend the opinion because I disagree with it, but johncoltrane can give his feedback as many times he wants to, and I think his feedback can suggest to change approach to the problem, not only to give up. He didn't said OP should just give up, so don't put words into someone else's mouth.

Plus I think it's great that he's suggesting to all readers free alternative for learning.

Looks like some users of Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) are already using this monitor: https://files.alinpanaitiu.com/6a7515174ddd729a3df47063ee760...

Some notable data points:

- supports DDC brightness control (controlling the real brightness of the monitor using Lunar on Mac, TwinkleTray on Windows or ddcutil on Linux)
- supports DDC volume control
- supports Lunar's XDR Brightness feature (https://lunar.fyi/#xdr) which means that in HDR mode the full brightness of the display can be unlocked and used for SDR content
- although the specs page reports a typical brightness of 300nits so not sure if this has any effect
- it isn't recognized as HiDPI by macOS (this used to cause blurry text, not sure if this is the case here but BetterDisplay is a thing these days so not an issue)

If you want to dig deeper, you can find the same data here: https://db.lunar.fyi

And here's the query I used:

SELECT
name,
ddc,
"canChangeVolume",
orientation,
width,
height,
"dotsPerInch",
"maxEDR",
"potentialEDR",
"refreshRate",
"isHiDPI",
"isRetina",
"isSmartDisplay",

The reason I'm relating them is that they're both changes to a class, that have different blast radii and different levels of abstraction.

In the worst case, adding a nongeneric parameter to a function could have the same impact. I've never heard of that happening though. I'm trying to express how I've observed things working in practice, not the theoretical boundaries of what could happen here.

So lets say you add a concrete parameter to a method. You update the usages. Somewhere the output gets stored in an existing class. So you add a new field to this class of the correct type. You're done.

Let's say you do the same with a generic. Now when you add that field to that class, it also has to be generic over that type. Now you need to update all the places where that class was used.

If your code is overly generic throughout, the likelihood of this having secondary or tertiary effects and having a runaway refactor becomes pretty darn high.

Being too abstract will always get you in trouble, and it'll probably look pretty similar. I'm just saying it's very easy to do with generics and harder to do with less abstract techniques.
No one is claiming Linux is bad for very basic users. It’s fine for people who only ever use bowsers. Linux is also great for developers. It’s most of us in between who struggle. The last time I booted up Ubuntu I couldn’t even adjust the mouse acceleration without spending 10 minutes on Google and more time installing an additional tool. I tried to install Radarr - a very popular home media server app. The instruction manual required is absurd: https://wiki.servarr.com/radarr/installation

Linux developers need to start caring about UX if they want the OS to appreciably rise above 1-2% consumer. Users should never ever, for any reason ever, need to open the CLI. Not when I want to install or configure an app, and certainly not when I want to update a driver or setting.
I dont know if it's being too complex, but with the latest update some actions like renaming or opening a file at times are bit slow on my mac. I'm not against new features but really, i'd wish the basic operations would never get worse over time.
Druid works quite well, and is likely enough for many GUI projects.
I'm not sure what your reasoning is that implementing it in a platform-native language will work better. Are you referring to using their platform native UI to get the keybindings + inbuilt widget integration?

Four payments of $25 might be instantly recognizable as $100, but quick, what are four payments of 37.74?

If you aren’t good at mental math and are already primed to rationalize this impulse buy, your mind might go to “about $120” rather than “somewhat but not a lot less than $160” (or like us nerds, “37.5 is half of 75, which is half of 150, plus about .25 times 4 - $151!”)

Their minds are probably more in the “oh, I can swing a bit more than $30 a month for a couple of months to get that sweet pair of sandals” place, though. And they’ve slotted the $28/month for the purse as “$20-something”.
Elon Musk Explains SpaceX's Raptor Engines [video]
I doubt the FedEx driver would take a package if it’s obviously not meant for pickup (e.g. if it already has a label on it for delivery to that address).

Sure, but isn't that what's happening here? A package addressed to ABC at hotel XYZ is picked up by the carrier, relabeled, and delivered to another location where the thief can pick it up? I must be misunderstanding the scam.

I also don't understand why the merchandise isn't just shipped straight to Miami. The thief obviously won't have it forwarded from the hotel to his/her own house, and sending it to a hotel first isn't going to fool law enforcement for very long.

Yes, for sure. Limiting blast radius is essential. Just need to build solid automation to make it manageable.
> Consider this question - look outside at a tree. Where did all the carbon in the tree come from? You may have heard that carbon fixation in plants use a process called "photosynthesis" that involves iron ions. Where did the iron come from? If only we taught by using storytelling techniques and posing questions to students, perhaps we might have more engagement with science than we have today.

I think that level of storytelling is already routine in science education. It just lands differently with different people, especially at different ages. That's why those "things they didn't teach you in school" books are mostly full of things they really did teach you in school, because many people people who are hostile to a subject as teenagers are fascinated by it later. A kid I went to high school with sent an email to a bunch of us about 7-8 years after graduation because he was learning some information about American history that shocked and fascinated him, and he was really worked up about us not being taught it in school. He thought it had intentionally been withheld from us so we would have a rosy picture of our history and our government, but it was all standard bits of American history we were taught in history class. He remembered being bored in class, so he assumed this information wasn't shared with us, but it was, it just wasn't interesting to him at that point in his life.

It’s like a divorce. You can either reach a settlement or spend a ton of money fighting for years.

You imagine how distracting it would be for Twitter to have this in their quarterly updates? They certainly aren’t selling the company until it’s resolved.

My prediction - lots of public tough talk, then a quiet resolution.
Looks cool and fancy. I would be grateful to see a simple list also, since it’s hard to use it on mobile.

To clean Twitter, wouldn't it be enough to let people create filter groups, kind of like Brave Goggles [1] that are lists of accounts or lists of lists of accounts
?

People would cluster themselves into groups with consistent values and you would just need some moderators for minor adjustments.
