>OSX lets me remap caps lock to control without digging in the registry or playing "find where they moved Xorg.conf." It's just an option in the preferences.

For native apps. Sort of.

* Though you can assign Ctrl to the Fn key, you cannot assign the Fn action to any key so you can't swap them without giving up the ability to use the Fn key at all.

* This doesn't work for web apps. Google Docs etc. will still use Command key shortcuts and will thus be different locally versus remoted into a machine.

* Some key mappings break in text boxes. I've remapped Find to Control+F, which works most of the time, but not if my cursor is in a text box, because then it moves the cursor forward. Control+B for bold and Control-A for select all are likewise. To make it worse, this only happens for certain text boxes, and heck if I can figure out the pattern.

In all, it's an incredibly frustrating experience.
I think the most realistic guess would probably be a switch to some different nomenclature like G1, G2, G3 etc for generations or literally anything else like product lines (see what happened to nvidias/amds graphics card numbering, etc)
Imagine all programmers using your short name as a type.
How much their being worth protecting is causally protecting them? I suspect we have the same concern - that Taiwan is more likely to be subsumed if their products can be sourced elsewhere - but I don’t know if this is valid.
My bet on the root cause: Making noise is a basic way for "people of lesser social status" to assert that they matter, and can't just be ignored. Ask anyone who's raised a few kids. For the rich & powerful, of course, being able to hush all those noisy kids / low-lifes / jackhammers / etc. - or get away to places where they need not hear such noisy self-assertions - is another way of asserting their status.
> No, it is absolutely justified.

The problem is that "emergency" is fundamentally a loaded phrase, and once you establish a precedent of using loaded phrases when it's "justified", everyone (including your opponents) will start using it. After all, everything is "justified" to the activists petitioning for it. The end result is that every issue gets "emergency" slapped to the end of it, and the phrase becomes meaningless.
but it also has a death penalty

Are there other languages with Martian time in their standard library? Or maybe with at least some solid third-party implementations?
It feels really nice though. They are always exact and all you do is press a button, no lever action needed.
Also, if you engage with someone who consumes from a different news bubble than you do, it's incredibly irritating, while engaging with someone who consumes from the same news bubble as you is incredibly boring.
In any case the fallout will probably kill most of what survives
I think it's coincidence. Coöpting narrative and driving narrative were pioneered in modern times at least by Lenin and others --this tool was later copied by Mussolini and Goebbels. It's a tool that is known to work well to split people apart as a part of divide and conquer strategy.

Trolling though, that is also not new. The VoA and North Korean campaigns, to name but two, have promoted all kinds of destabilizing theories. The difference is the media used --Duterte used it to great success and so did ISIS.
Lots of hedging all around. For instance TSMC building out advanced fabs in USA and Europe is good for everyone.
The state of California is simply another entity in the market. As long as they don't use illegal means to establish market position (i.e., coercion, etc.), there are no laws against them competing with private markets.

And in this particular case, the reason that California is jumping into the market is because the private merchants have artificially increased prices to pad their profits and pay their executives, at the expense of thousands of people who are now struggling to afford an essential (and a historically ridiculously cheap) medication.

Show HN: CSS-Only Wolfenstein
A little experiment for learning CSS 3D transformation & animation.
Will this mode require a separate file along the data.db Sqlite file, to store the compression dictionary?

From your last link:

> The result of this training is stored in a file called "dictionary", which must be loaded before compression and decompression.

Also, what happens if a column has been compressed based on 100 typical values, and then later we insert thousands of new rows with 500 new frequent values.
Does the compression dictionary get automatically updated? Then do old rows need to be rewritten?

PS what is compact mode?
Not quite. A strand of DNA is roughly 2.5nm wide, and it would take ~47 hydrogen atoms to span that distance. Still fascinating!
The standards test is different. Occupational Physical Assessment Test results are Unqualified, Moderate, Significant, or Heavy which is then used to decide if someone meets an appropriate standard.

Meanwhile the Army would sometimes retain people incapable of passing the old age and gender standard. As an extreme example people with missing limbs could be retained.
> Im not sure if they confiscate their passports or not like in Dubai but i think they still do those contracts where they have to pay an agent and work off their debts.

Yes, most laborers are working off a debt to their agent. Confiscating passports is technically illegal, but very common in practice.

Safety regulations are tighter than in the Middle East, although still lax by the standards of most other developed countries.

People can report labor rights violations to the government, which sometimes even investigates them and takes action. But they are mostly content to turn a blind eye unless something is very egregious, and labor rights NGOS are understaffed and underfunded. And strikes are effectively illegal.

Unlike in the Middle East you can leave the country without your employer's permission, but this might be easier said than done in a lot of cases.

So, more indentured servitude than slavery. Still not great.
Init7.ch supports up to 25 gb/s, but finding the right combination of small devices like consumer routers and notebooks to achieve much more than 1 gb/s is difficult. I.e. with a desktop it's easy enough to use a 10 gigabit card, with a notebook you are often stuck with inbuilt gb Ethernet and maximizing the wifi instead.
My grandfather used to say "there are two types of people in the world: lifters and leaners."

I was skeptical when I first heard it. I still question the many special cases or situations that fall somewhere in between. That said, the longer I live and work, the more I see (or hear of) the leaners ... and their enablers.
yep, i held off on my laptop refresh until i was assured a thinkpad, but several of my colleagues made the switch to chromebook at the time.
perhaps read the article before commenting, especially if you aim at criticizing what is written? the word "laptop" isn't even mentioned in the article, this talks about desktops only and how Google runs its own linux distri on those...

You render HTML with React or PHP.

The browser renders a webpage using the rendered HTML, CSS and sometimes Javascript.
Hey sharemywin. The key is stepping up and doing things without being asked to do so. The two examples might have over-index on people not asking for permission, but that's not the main message. To be clear, I'm not telling anyone to stop getting buy-in from others or asking for permission.

Process and backlog grooming are effective and necessary, but ownership can also be demonstrated in harmony with process. It could be as simple as flagging a technical area to fix or improve (subject to the prioritization process) instead of only raising issues when asked or saying "this looks broken, I hope someone fixes it" and moving on.
The kids that survived, survived perfectly fine.

The kids that didn't survive were buried and no longer interact with us.
Yeah, agreed. This isn't even close to true, not sure where he got that from.

It always seems odd to me when it is literally writers or other online content creators who are complaining about being distracted by other writers or online content creators.

I'd love to see someone write a blog post about why they think their own content is good for others to consume while the content that they were willfully consuming was not.
‘Like an alien obelisk’: space debris believed to be from SpaceX mission
Are there any numbers? It might be interesting to compare apk size differences, performance (perceived and measurable), at least app cold startup times. What about accessibility improvements or degradation?
> And if you get ANY backlash you simply revert back. Most people wouldn't even notice.

The people who dropped the newsletter after it became spam definitely won't notice that you reverted back to the expected behavior.
I work for a YC company called Coinbase and it is absolutely terrible here because of the C level execs. They are terrible at their jobs and from the inside, the org seems to be falling apart. I've noticed that since the layoffs there is no motivation anywhere. People are hardly on slack and it takes forever to get anything done. I hate blind but it's a constant complaint that no one is working anymore.

Seems like Brian was fooled into hiring all these leaders that don't understand people or the space but have great credentials. As for Brian himself, he is the most uninspiring leader I have ever worked under. He is a platitude robot saying nothing more than 'Crypto will lead to economic freedom' and 'now is the time to build'. Before the crypto crash it seems like the only motivator was money, now that that is gone the company is slowly spiraling and no one cares. Mostly because the execs don't care, the CFO and CPO both cashed out all of their shares during IPO. If they don't believe how can we lowly engineers.

A blind comment that really resonated with me and the few others I've shared with: https://imgur.com/a/jrA3oCL

Another thing, if Brian reads this he will probably go on another twitter rant rather than actually address the company.
Thanks so much for the note and the kind words. Would love to grab a coffee or something! My email is first @ polymathrobotics.com, but I'll reach out as well!

Maybe we can play bocce instead of coffee?
Seen it all from start ups to public. It's not every C-Level but when one does join it doesn't take long for everyone to know know they've clearly failed their way to the top.

It's striking how one will be hired to a non-traditional C-level title for a department they have no experience in and run it into the ground. I've even witnessed department leads beg not to hire one from the start and be fully ignored. I guess the fact they've been at the top for so long makes them untouchable?

What's outstanding is how often it happens and how both hiring and keeping them around never makes a lick of business sense. Even once exposed as incompetent, founders will dig their heals in and find any excuse to not bear responsibility of their bad hiring decision. They eventually leave on good terms and continue the cycle elsewhere.
50 m2 per person. Presumably single person households are a bit larger, and families a bit smaller than 50 m2 per member, but that's just an educated guess.
For your CFO, CMO, COO, CHRO?

Most early CXO hires are for the things that CEO's don't want to do but now have to be done. They want to hire someone who can take stuff completely off their plate and get it done.

Identifying a poor CTO or CPO is pretty straightforward for technical founders. It's harder to identify whether your new CMO is shitty when they are crafting a marketing strategy from scratch.
i'm sorry for the damage caused but also pls do tell anonymized version of the pattern/behavior, i am very intent on never hiring one of these people
Heh, that reminds me of olden Chinese earthen doughnut fort dwellings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujian_tulou except in greater gigantic proportions (pun on the doughnut).

Circle expansion: they could add interior and or exterior concentric circles or semi circles --but then that would complicate the simplicity, so maybe not.
Imagine you live in an impenetrable house which when locked can only be accessed by a key. Now imagine you go outside the house, you lock the house and you lose the key which unlocks the house.

This scenario might happen to Satoshi and there might be multiple holders and keys required to access Satoshi's wallet not only one.
I think it's a misunderstanding of the phrase "one of the last" which can have a connotation that there are no longer any remaining

Thanks for the detailed answer. Good luck with it continuing to work as it does!

May I ask about the dosage?
The overview document makes for an interesting read. Definitely worth referencing next time someone on HN or elsewhere claims Apple's trying to lock down their computers to running macOS only.

But I thought Google was all in om ChromeOS and chromebooks?
The Rust standard library is quite big, not compared to Python obviously, but compared to the scale of things we'd usually apply formal methods to.

It also relies heavily on stuff that's not Rust. For example it's one line in Rust to decide to suppose this whole file named "C:\myfile\stuff.txt" is UTF-8 text, so put it all into a String - the standard library reflects the obvious ways that could fail, maybe there is no such file, maybe it's actually a JPEG and not UTF-8 text, maybe the file is so enormous it can't be represented in RAM on this (presumably 32-bit) computer - but it's relying on the operating system to actually have a working filesystem, you can't use formal methods to deal with such things.

It could make more sense to do the same to Rust's core library:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/

Unlike std, core is mostly stuff the language itself assumes exists. Rust's fundamental types all have methods for example (e.g. 'x'.is_ascii() is true) unlike say C, and the implementation of (most of) those methods lives in core.
Damn I wonder why they don’t use WinForms or Qt either? Could it be that it’s an entirely different use case than a regular desktop application?
You should not use gMail to access federal/state resources, but "state mail". Like DigiD in Netherlands, DataBox in Czech Republic. Both are state ran, associated with your identity. Lost password can be unlocked by going physically to office.
Wrote up some thoughts last month on serverless vs. containers here: https://www.withcoherence.com/post/containers-and-the-server...

My 2c is that for most people using containers on a "serverless" runtime like Cloud Run is the best of both worlds...
While I agree with a lot of what he says, I also think there is a bit of wishful thinking when it comes to "world class leaders".

Just like you can't hire the top 1% exclusively, your leaders won't be top 1%. Chances are they will be somewhere in the middle. Creating a "culture" that allows for initiative at different parts of the company is going to do a lot more for you than rolling the dice on getting exclusively top quality leadership.

Re: "Culture": I mean this in the group dynamics sense, not the meaningless corporate-speak sense.
> capped at 1800 EUR each

Is that a cap per week or per month?
That's tautological though. The ipcc report says CO2 causes warming. So of course less emissions would mean less warming.

No, I didn't mean to say what you said. I meant to say what I said.
So just like cordova / web shell apps, back in the day.

> All of these pricing signals skew the market and should be banned.

Aside from the obvious issues with prior restraint, where do you stop? In real estate, a list of comparable sales (comps in RE speak) is commonly used to set an asking price. That list is clearly a pricing signal, would you advocate hiding the sales price of houses?

Ok, now you’ve done that, how does the government assess property taxes? And when they do, are those assessments now secret as well?

You’re going down a really dark and weird road to try to fix a small part of a big problem…
Hey let’s not forget the founders who hire a buddy or two and give them C-level titles when they’re woefully unqualified for that role and proceed forever drag the company down.

Check this out: the "Head of Brand Marketing" for Opendoor, Kyle Tibbitts[0], left a few years ago to be the Head of Marketing at Fast.co[1], another scam that imploded. Right before Fast collapsed, he left to join a new real estate startup, wander.com[2], which is now launching a real estate investment vehicle, "Wander Atlas"[3], to stay afloat. The marketing page says they are "Democratizing access to the private market behind Wander".

The guy is 2/3 on scams... with a good chance of landing 3/3 in due time.
