Have you used Bitcoin for this purpose? I have and I can tell you it takes much longer than a fraction of a second. My credit card does that job just fine though.
What I'm really concerned about is having to look down for longer periods of time with monitors like these.

I used to have a terrible back pain that magically disappeared when I elevated my laptop so that the screen is at my eye level.

I still have a lighter version of this pain whenever I have to work for an extended period from a coffee shop or wherever I can't elevate the laptop.

Answer: `a in b` is the same as `(a == b).any()`. This really only makes sense when `a` is a scalar and any behavior for other types of arrays are more "accidental" than designed.
A lot of smaller cities are close enough to monocultures. If Disney pulled out of Orlando, for example, the housing market would implode.

Even if only 10% of the jobs are taken by a single company or industry, losing that is sufficient to stop price growth.

Why do we keep reading annoyingly insular case reports of people with relatively common, but highly multi drug resistant bacteria who get saved by phages, while at the same time being afraid of the antibiotic apocalypse?

What keeps us from having a register/bank of highly effective phages to treat people with those boring old multi drug resistant bacteria bacteria?

Why do we keep saving and at the same time ruining peoples lifes with fluoroquinolones, gentamicin and other dangerous antibiotics instead of just giving them phages?

Musk really strikes me as bipolar or something, and that he agreed to buy Twitter in a manic episode and now the party's over.
The media consistently favored pro-war sources and ignored anti-war sources during the run up to the Iraq war. Publicly holding an anti-war opinion was a dangerous career move in the media at that time.

Journalists like Judith Miller of the New York Times were accused of being "stenographers" who reported whatever they were told by sources in the government without doing any independent verification, with many of the claims they reported later being shown to be false. They would report on things like Colin Powell's testimony to the UN on Iraq rather uncritically, when Colin Powell's own privately stated opinion of the draft of his speech was, "This is bullshit".

The effect of this was that the US public was misinformed about the role of Iraq in terrorism and the 9/11 attacks, as shown by surveys where a majority of the public would get the facts wrong about basic questions surrounding Iraq and 9/11, and both the public and politicians supported the war more than they would have if there was a more balanced debate in the media.

The argument is, basically, "If the US public knew the truth, they wouldn't have approved of going to war". Which of course is the case in most wars the US gets in - the role of the US media in the run up to a war is to make sure the public doesn't know the truth.

It would basically be impossible for a site like HN to silence anyone. There are many other highly-visible places to break news even if dang wants to cover something up. It's not remotely the same as if the government were to impose restrictions on speech.

I was all ready to buy one of these until I realised it was the size of two 21” displays stacked, rather than two 27” as the resolution suggests.

I know I wouldn’t be losing any horizontal resolution, but I think 27” is the perfect width for a primary monitor and I wouldn’t really want to go smaller.
I think it's both funny and frustrating to see an already meaningless word become moreso.
Perhaps I'm misreading, but are you implying that politicians and bureaucrats in the US aren't currently stealing bits and pieces of the common good? I'd agree that it's not currently as bad as Russia or some African nations, but obviously American politicians are already doing this.

How many senators, congressmen, and presidents have made tens or hundreds of millions of dollars from their "government service"? Why, I can think of a president off the top of my head who used his earlier position heading US anti-corruption in a country to get his son paid millions of dollars by corrupt people in that country.

I received one last week. Works great on my M1 MBP. I have a 16:9 monitor above the MBP and the LG to the right of it, but now I want to get a keyboard, trackpad and webcam so I can swap the positions of the monitors and have the LG as my main monitor.

My only complaint is it’s not as wide as a 27” monitor despite having the same resolution as Thunderbolt Displays / 27” iMacs. So the pixels are smaller. The width is closer to a 24” 16:9.

But I love the stand, and everything else about it.

I had a similar revelation for structural biology, applying the physics I learned for bridges and buildings to microscopic proteins. They are structurally like a cathedral built by a blind and deranged architect. The fact that mechanically bend, pivot, and move like a complex machine at a micro scale to do real work is the most sci-fi thing I can conceive of.

Think of a even a simple walking protein like Kinesin [1]. What is not shown in the video is that this is all happening in a hurricane of molecules battering it from all sides. Each part of the structure is being pushed, pulled, bent, robot made out of sticks and rubber bands.

Okay, but you spend 2000 hours per year at work.

So 10 hours on a config is only .5%, which is the productivity gain you need to realise to get that time back in one year (assuming you also spend 0 hours on fighting vscode).

Unless you're retiring within the year, that calculus doesn't make sense.

The productivity boost you get with from Emacs/vim is huge once you learn it well.

I strongly believe that learning one of these two editors is probably the easiest and biggest skills leap you can take as an intermediate or senior developer.

No other skill you can learn will have as big of a payoff to your productivity given the relatively small effort to get proficient.

I don't get how your brains work.

Finding problems to solve programmatically just escapes me when I can just be in the loop and do it myself.

I'd waste so much time if I approached every problem that way... But then that's just for me personally. professionally I'd go to you guys to make my life smoother at work, if I worked.

Although I'm starting to get PowerShell and Python and Power Automate Desktop for automating things I'd usually do myself, manually, over and over.
I continue to be super concerned about this. I do not understand how the U.S. government does not view these billionaires as serious ideological threats to democracy, the court system, national security, etc. Makes one realize just how bought out Congress is.

It seems that taxonomy is what you would like to learn only after the subject piqued your interest, in my experience, looking back at early school years. Prior to gaining interest, it felt like such a drudgery. After that, however, it’s like an map to navigate the subject matter. It becomes fun in itself, as you point out. I guess it’s a level of abstraction preferred by folks with expertise, but less so by beginners.

when built-in array type is not performant nor serves as an interface (abstract class), it's as if it doesn't exist. I guess the point is Numpy predates Python's array by a long shot.

Compare and contrast with languages with built-in N-dimensional array for scientific computing.
If you don't mind C#, modern Java isn't far off.

Writing Kotlin would not trigger your Java hatred at all. Configuring build systems is the same, but otherwise you won't have to do anything in Java that you hate.

As the other commenter said, the only thing you lose is (sometimes) reading docs in your language, but there is a decent Java to Kotlin tool built in to Jetbrains IDEs.
> I am appalled that 911 services weren't even working in some cases.

This was the most surprising issue of the downtime. Rogers had just enough layers lit up for 9-1-1 calls to be attempted (to only fail) on its completely dark network that cell phones didn't/wouldn't failover that 9-1-1 call to the other mobile networks that were up.
Considering how much money they have and the size of their very highly paid legal team, I'd say that says a lot.
That's exactly it, a bot using headless client or something would "view" the ad (trigger download of the ad, etc.) but not be a real person (no eyeballs on the ad). Hence, that instance of the ad display was fake/fraud/bot. Customers of twitter (i.e. people paying twitter to show their ads) are interested in this number. Also, investors are interested in that number. Twitter says <5% of its ad-showings are fraudulent - this lets investors say "Twitter's revenue is mostly genuine". That is why the metric is reported - it's for financial/investing purposes, not a claim about how full of bots their system is.

In concrete numbers, twitter is saying there are 1 billion twitter accounts, but most of those are bots or inactive accounts or API accounts or people posting through Tweetdeck (no ads) or joke/duplicate accounts or developer test accounts or... but 230 million of the users per day use a client that shows ads. And of that subset, less than 5% are generating those ad views fraudulently.

If twitter's been lying about that (i.e. their revenue) all along to the SEC that would be a problem for twitter, though not a big enough problem for Musk's claims in his Notice yesterday to work out in his favour.

a harder way of doing things initially in exchange for incredibly small productivity gains that when applied millions of times over the course of a programming career, make a monumental difference

A key ethos of Vim is that once you climb the initial learning curve, you're on a path of increased efficiency for the long haul. Moving the hand to the mouse, dragging the cursor to the spot you want, then moving the hand back to the keyboard, is objectively slower than key-based movement commands for someone who has climbed the learning curve and I'm confident that could be proven empirically though I'm not aware of any such proof. There may be certain exceptional cases where the mouse is faster, but for most editor usage it would not be. I'm not sure if you agree w/ that and are just criticizing how tutorials introduce people to Vim, that they should start w/ the mouse to lower the learning curve, which might be an okay argument.
My idea is that Elon Musk is just leveraging it's wealth and public visibility to gain a lot of money easily tricking the markets. Especially those market where people are more easily gullible.

I think he did it with bitcoins when it declared Tesla will accept Bitcoin payments on the same basis of ordinary payments. Just later he abruptly dismissed the whole thing because the operation was terminated. In the meantime I guess he just acquired a lot of bitcoins before the public announcement and just sold them when the price was much higher.

I think that stock market and Bitcoin market are easily gullible by wealthy people because a lot of people investing are inexperienced and are easily influenced by press communication without ground truth basis.
Musk doesn't care about that one iota. He has more money than god. And he's done that by being fairly effective as the head of two big companies.
For a language with "explicit is better than implicit" as part of its mantra[1], Python is chock full of surprising behavior like this where the programmer really has no idea what's happening under the hood.

I'm happy I moved on to Go, which actually adopts this as a core design tenet.

When I used MacOS I had to spend at least as much time at the command line as I do with Linux. If we are going to rate OS's by how much time is needed at the command line I think Windows is likely to win that battle.

I found MacOS not any more usable or stable than Windows had been on my prior laptop. The hardware was less reliable than the Thinkpad my MacBook Pro replaced and repairs were outrageously expensive. I have switched back to a Thinkpad which recently had Windows replaced by Pop!_OS because as of kernel 5.17 the laptop finally gets similar battery life running Linux as it does Windows. I would never consider a MacBook again.
What an amazing story, one which should give hope to the many people that are battling superbugs as we speak. Her (Strathdee's) Wikipedia page gives some more background, out of which this stood out to me:

"Although phage therapy had been used for one hundred years in Eastern Europe, it was not licensed for clinical use in the United States or most of Western Europe" [0]

Which indicates (if not proves) that healthcare is one one of the casualties of our polarized world.

Isn't that a bit too close? Can you see all of it at once, and is there anything but it in your field of view? I'm asking because i had a 60cm (24'' is 61cm) desk with a 24'' screen and i found that too close and too straining on my eyes.
Actually, for _most_ products, the best they do is _in different trials it appears safe_. They don't even try and prove the product isn't safe.
I feel the same. Many times I just wish VSC would go in maintenance mode forever. It used to be such a magical piece of software when I first discovered it in 2019 and made the switch for Sublime. Slowly but surely the scope creep increased and now it’s well on its way to become a bloated monster. Every time I get a notification about a new release I hope they didn’t introduce too many things this time.
That's pretty fascinating.

It would be super helpful to this reader if someday Wikipedia had a bot that would generate alternate, interactive 3D models of the various knot diagrams. I wonder if it'd be possible programatically, with the right ruleset?

While the existing diagrams show each overlap / underlap really well, some of us perceive from the "whole condition" -> inwards, and these diagrams don't easily yield the absolute feel/view of stacking perception which is really helpful for that.

A good example comparison might be something like:

2D: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnian_link#/media/File:Borr...

3D: https://knotplot.com/view/?k=6.3.2

One thing you also get in 3D is a different set of 2D profiles. For example: Perceived side-on from the flatter side of the yellow rope, you can see that the other two ropes are made to form a sort of yin-yang of U-shapes. This could be interesting for further analysis.

The ability to turn off or change the opacity of individual ropes would then be the icing on that particular cake, IMO.

(This is just the beginning of my hope for openness to different perceptive styles in WP content...someday it'd be awesome to accommodate a variety of perceptive stacking-orders in addition to the current a11y and "dark mode" settings you can enable)
