I have never been satisfied with roomba (granted, i got the basic-level devices). They re just not good and it seems there's loss of otential there. I m thinking to get a cheap xiaomi to give it a try
This is a PR stunt, nothing more. Saudi leaders are trying to change their international image in kind of a clumsy way. Despite their vast wealth, they don't have the resources to actually make this happen. If they built the city as proposed within the next 30 years then I'll eat my hat.
Sure. Nothing is the same. Every animal is slightly different. As humans trying to understand the world with 3 pounds of meat, we abstract and group so we have a chance of dealing with the overwhelming complexity.

But I stand by my point. A moral sense is something that provably exists in a lot of social animals. Is it different in each species? Yes. Is it different in each individual? Surely. But unless you're going to claim that all of those animals are conscious, you can't say that consciousness is foundational to a moral sense. Indeed, I think the much easier argument is that a moral sense is foundational to evolving consciousness.
The dutch word "prestatiemaatschappij" is fitting here, meaning "performance society".

It suggests that life is fast, nothing but duties, must-dos, which when fully internalized will also apply to leisure. Relaxing is a task as is keeping in touch with friends. As you engage in the task, your thoughts are with the next task. You're never in the moment, nothing is spontaneous, it's robotic.

You're juggling 10 balls and are doing an adequate job in not dropping any of them. You master a "full" life.

But you don't. You've removed life itself.
There are some ways to make concrete anti-slip:

Cheap, can pressure wash, if you make the appropriate grooving to allow thermal expansion it will last, but is easy to repair anyway. Can dye with any color you want too.

If you want an environmental-friendly alternative, you can do the same with clay mixed with some binder.
Punitive damages are capped at low amounts in Texas and may not happen at all since they require unanimity (which the jury did not have on the compensatory verdict).
Same experience. Bought a Roomba in 2008 and didn’t like it much. Bought another in 2021 and was shocked at how little it had improved in that time. It’s better, but not by much. And clearly behind the technology in some of the Chinese vacs.

Me too, so many companies enforce windows only with no way to get a linux machine or a mac that it's great to see it playing differently, I can only hope things will change when a new generation who has never used windows will come in the workforce
I love mine.

Doesn't really get stuck (only time was when it "found" a fallen t-shirt behind a cabinet).

They do clean well for me, as long as I do it regularly. If I don't do it for a week it needs a second pass. But how much you need depends on external factors. Literally external, like how much dust gets in from outside.

Mine handled carpets well. IME of course. I didn't had pets when I had carpets, but at least with wooden floors cat hair gets cleaned fine.

Only caveat is if you have levels in your house you have to bring it up and down stairs but that's not asking much.
Feat. a comment from Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri:

"Buy and large what I think we’re seeing in tech this year is it many companies assumed that the swells and business they saw when the pandemic hit – the surge in e-commerce activity, watch time, and mobile activity in particular – were an acceleration of an existing trends that would have staying power. In practice it seems like almost all of these trends, which are still growing by the way, reverted to the pre-pandemic trend-lines. Because so many of these companies increase expenses, and particularly be hiring faster, assuming more gross and has actualized, they’re finding themselves having to cut costs. Yes, this is a mistake that is on leader ship, but that doesn’t mean that it js responsible for every company to maintain every employee they hired when they assume the different future."
I‘m a bit surprised that they care about the cost so much - the Dell laptops and the Apple Laptops come in at a price point of 2000 - 3000 USD and the Dell they specifically recommend for Linux use comes with Windows Pro preinstalled. The price difference to the equivalent Linux version is around 70USD. That‘s a negligible difference, especially when you start comparing to the employees wage (It‘s probably about 1 hour of their time, one-time cost)

If they‘d make the point based on lack of internal support capacity, I‘d understand, but caring about the one-time cost of the license is a very weak point.
This is a great and a just decision, but it seems like the damages are a far cry from the $150 million claimed. Were there any sentence limits for the charges against this guy?
That’s sad to hear. I love iRobot because of their privacy stance, even if it means the tech is slightly behind Chinese companies.

With Amazon buying them, I have little hope that privacy ethics stay the same. Maybe time to move on to some other brand
This is the right mindset.

Instead of arguing "we need to cut costs", why don't they work on an entry-level paid tier? Seriously, it is like they're not even trying to compete with GH at this level.
I guess Gitlab doesn't care about having customers that work on Windows platforms.

Meanwhile Github works just great for us.
Is it possible that some variations in results are caused by variations in what phone vs desktop, apps or browsers send to google when people search?

FYI, I have my Windows Desktop Firefox homepage set to Google Advanced Search: https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&fg=1 and I never (almost) logon to my google account when I search. It would be nice to add "site or domain:" exclusions.
We sort of do know some of the mechanisms why they work: they increase BDNF and stimulate certain serotonin receptors, allowing new and healthier neural connections and associations to be formed, helping people more easily snap out of old ways of thinking, similar to how psilocybin and other newer "drugs" help people snap out of depression.

That's why antidepressants are ideally combined with CBT or other therapies that help people change their mindset.
Yes, a key.

There are also various things that can be done to prevent relay attacks, but a good key combined with a very short range interlock device is much better than these stupid fobs.
I love this. One tiny thought - perhaps use a conditional when setting the string percentage/completion value to prepend a 0 of it's < 10?

like:
completion_string: str = '0' + str(self.completion) if self.completion < 10 else str(self.completion)

basically it would keep your bar from shifting when percentage goes from single digit to double digit.

Gitlab is essentially a website, and Microsoft Edge is just Chrome. I think there isn't any reason to test on windows anymore.
Money isn’t much good if you can’t spend it because you’re behind bars. I look forward to the perjury charges and imprisonment.
It is interesting because it exposes Apple, which as a company often tries to present itself as a champion of freedom, and other modern values. Yet as is reaffirmed here (and previously with AppStore etc), when profits are involved it is willing to overlook the most egregious forms of injustice and violence.

Literally every tech company stands up for good causes like BLM and LGBTQ+ rights; but the true measure of courage is when there are consequences involved with taking a stand.
Great line.
I don't really want continuous surveillance of the interior of my home by any company from any nation. There should be some places where you get to just exist without being monitored.
By default, we (I work for Google Search). do tend to look for all the words indicated. It's just that sometimes, what seems to be the most relevant documents won't have all the exact words. If you want results exclusively to contain words, that's what the quotes command is for.
Density is just a side effect of building more homes (housing supply goes up in a given area -> density goes up). The effect of supply on price is, well, unambiguous.
Disagree. I think it's almost an exact description.

For the most part pyramid schemes have some sort of productive enterprise in there somewhere. Like Avon actually does send people makeup, LuLaRoe or whatever did actually send people leggings that were at least somewhat popular and useful as clothing.

There's at least some actual business going on where a product or service is being delivered. Like at least some of the money going into the system is people who just want the leggings.

There are a small handful of crypto projects that sort of fit that description but not really. For the most part all of the money that's going into the schemes is coming from people who want more money returned to them. A lot of time there's some kind of sheen of a "product" to try to make it look less scammy but there's nobody who actually wants to just consume that product. Literally everyone is hoping that at the end of their engagement with the system they'll have more actual money than when they started.

That's the literal definition of a Ponzi scheme. There's no actual way for people to profit without getting the money from other people who themselves were hoping to profit.
Why? Gitlab is not a Windows application per se. Either you use a browser or git on the cli.
We see a pretty broad spectrum, also because different people do the project in different "modes". Some want to breeze through as fast as possible, others want to "audit", some want to do a thorough deep dive.

I've seen folks spend weeks deep-diving on courses spending an hour or so per day (writing code, refactoring it, going through the official sources and studying them, etc). Part of the fun is reading the official docs, and that can be a treasure hunt at times.

You can see for indication of upcoming course ideas here: https://vote.codecrafters.io/

I assume you mean that it's a defence that you thought it was true so you didn't commit a crime. That might be true at the beginning but I'm sure high-profile people like Alex Jones have enough exposure for people to put them straight at which point it becomes less of an excuse!
SQLite Renaissance
I mean, Gitlab is a web platform. It's pretty easy to test how it's going to work on different platforms without needing full machines. Heck, you can even just get Microsoft Edge binaries on macOS and Linux if you want to test Edge. But failing that, VMs are pretty sufficient.

Apple will knuckle under in about 3 seconds when the war starts and do whatever the US government asks them to do.
Is there a way to change it so autocorrections are shown as suggestions rather than done automatically? I haven't used iOS in a few years, but I recall being frustrated with the default autocorrect implementation.

On other devices/keyboards (SwiftKey for example) I type a word and if it thinks I might mean something else, it shows up in a row of 3 suggestions above the keyboard. If it's correct, I tap the suggestion and it replaces whatever I'd actually typed.

Makes for easy fixes and only adds an extra "tap" if I see a mistake that needs to be corrected. Either way, beats backing up and retyping or jumping through hoops to remove "ducking" from the dictionary.
The poinr was to create AppleID you need a phone number. You can log off or have two accounts, but to create the US one you need to surrender this info.

Side loading might work, yes.
Maybe it's just that hindsight is 20/20, but given how simple this trick is, I'm surprised this wasn't obvious to someone when declaring the policy.
And it's quite disingenuous for IT people to make a fuss about it. EVERYTHING in tech started with some sort of piracy, of music, of web content, of videos, of books, of hotels, of taxis, it's persistently the right strategy. And that's good, the world can't hang onto gatekeepers forever.

Manufactured homes tend to be cheap/poor quality.

I bought an M1 Max for the extra displays support, and the 64gb RAM support.

Not that I need 64g, that was more because I found a decent deal on one that happened to be 64g. But I sure don’t complain about it :)

I'm not familiar with the legal system in the US. How much of the awarded money does the plaintiff actually receive as compensation in such a case? Do they have to share some of the awarded money with the lawyers? Also, are they also entitled to the punitive part of the damages?

I'm asking because in many EU jurisdictions the equivalent of the punitive damages goes to the state or sometimes to charity organizations.
Although not even hinted at in the doc, I personally find the tedium of buying and provisioning and monitoring licenses worse than the cost of it. I suppose you are also inviting risk in the form of an audit.
This is a pretty clever idea, but I have to wonder how much of a concern an "ExternalId" column is today.

Assuming you are really paranoid, and each is 256 bits of the best CSPRNG output available, then for a table containing 1 million records you are only talking about an additional ~32 megabytes of overhead.

With modern CPUs and most applications, this extra amount of data is not going to move the needle at all.
Let's ignore how incredibly difficult that'd be given the amount of scrutiny Iran has been under for decades.

We basically know Israel has nukes because testing nuclear bombs is easily detectable worldwide. There aren't any other unexplained bombs activated. If Iran secretly built one, they have next to no idea if it works or how powerful it is.

So even if it wasn't nearly impossible, there's no reason to suspect they've built any.

This is fairly off topic though.
Yep. Fuck the butterfly keyboard and touch bar. But I'll still get an Apple laptop next time I get a new device because it's the least annoying when they don't let Ive run amok.
Amazing. I think ML will also be pretty handy for generating incidental images. Like you want a picture of a log cabin on a spooky lake in your game and so on.
They do allow linux though, and I have yet to find a competent device management software that supports Mac, Windows and Linux at the same time (or even Mac and Linux). I‘d be happy to hear recommendations.
I explained elsewhere that it's very unlikely to come back because we actually do try to match + in queries now for thing like international phone numbers, and also as someone else noted, there's any number of names that make use of it (Disney+ for example).
That's a good point. Quotes are definitely better for some cases.
Uber lost my business entirely, because it's hard to use effectively without notifications (you constantly have to be watching to see when your ride/food arrives), but they abuse notifications so badly that I would never leave them on.
Hello, I see you stepped on my favourite personal soapbox! :)

https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1017

I really, really like semi-linear branching/merging. I.e. always rebase-merging, but with a merge commit.

Reasons, in comparison to Github's "rebase merge" which doesn't produce a merge commit:

1. It makes it clear which commits were part of one PR

2. It makes it clear who did the merge

3. It's okay to not have every commit build. but the one being merged will.

4. Still pretty bisectable. You'll narrow things down at least to the PR that caused an issue, and from there it's usually quite simple.

5. Looks very tidy in gitk & Co
This self-description seems to be targeted at PHB that need convincing why their team should use Git
Indeed. I run a university fablab/machine shop and we prohibit work gloves on all rotary tools (lathes, mills, press drill, bench grinders) and band saws due to drawing in risk. Not just gloves, but all long sleeves, long hair, jewelry, watches, etc.

We do allow thin nitrile gloves in cases where someone would want to avoid skin contact with eg coolant or cutting oil.

See this 2011 accident at Yale where someone died when their long hair got wrapped up in a lathe. Stuff of nightmares.

Mostly he is opposed to anything that could possibly impact his financial position in any way. Multi-family housing in the town where he lives will likely depress his property value a little bit.

The wealthy towns surrounding my blue collar town have always shifted their affordable housing requirements by sending funds to other towns to meet those commitments, until the state closed that little loophole. They screamed bloody murder about having a timeline to provide affordable housing within their town limits.

That is how it goes with the wealthy. They want affordable housing, so that their underpaid workers and underpaid help have a place to live, but not in their town. I have watched this all around me for the last thirty years.

I have a good job, and I cannot afford the housing in any of the three towns that immediately abut our town. I have no idea where all the money comes from.

> N3042 - Introduce the nullptr constant

They should have formally defined NULL as void* instead.

> Someone recently challenged me, however: they said this change is not necessary and bollocks, and we should simply force everyone to define NULL to be void*.

I'm glad someone brought it up. The scenarios nullptr "fixes" are so minor adding a new null concept to fix them is the sort of overkill solution I expect from the C++ committee, not the C committee. It's a shame this wasn't thought-out more.

> I said that if they’d like that, then they should go to those vendors themselves and ask them to change and see how it goes.

The C committee has already broken compatibility on numerous occasions: forcing 2's complement representation, changing the type of u8"" string literals from char to unsigned char, removing mixed wide string literal concatenation (allowed in C11, disallowed in C23). It's difficult to be convinced by the argument of backwards compatibility when the committee has already broken it on multiple occasions. Furthermore, I seriously doubt compiler vendors who define NULL as 0 would take issue with redefining it as void*. This change is so minor and inconsequential there should be no push back.
This is ridiculous. Taiwan is a free and independent country. Shame on Apple.
Makes sense: It's extremely expensive to maintain nuclear weapons after they're assembled.
Why do you think there won't be repercussions?
To be fair ... they got a lot of middle management catch phrases into that description. Going to be an easy sell to the board.
Maybe, but there is a fundamental difference between being anti-abuse and anti-smut.
Or even worse, if they don't know their build tools, some kind of union based monstrosity...
What Trivago Learned Adopting TypeScript
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that gitlab is fully remote.

In an office where you have on-site IT staff, and a local corporate LAN, you can require every windows machine to be part of AD, have group security policies pushed out, and generally have tools available for central management.

But with gitlab, everyone is working in their own networks around the world. That sounds like a very hard environment in which to globally apply the types of security policies that are needed to keep Windows secure.
Exactly, they're all wrong to someone. There is no One True Way, even if the people maintaining the program are dedicated enough to the way they like to eliminate all the ways they think is "wrong", and hope their userbase has a big enough sunk cost that they will put up with it instead of leaving for a competitor that lets them keep doing it the "wrong" way. This is why I put quotes around "wrong" throughout my comment. :)
Great. thanks. As if I didn't already waste too much time on HN, now I need to keep an eye on lobsters.

At least now I know what I'm going to do this weekend.
> That is obscene, for a charlatan.

The attention economy seems to be particularly vulnerable to charlatans. Platforms are happy to take their cut as long as those eyeballs are glued and the ad profits are dollars in. They'll furrow brows and play act some carefully chosen words, but these platforms will keep giving clowns a stage, because this circus is the best yet.
Satan’s Bank Note
Most windows laptops today come with a license key baked into the BIOS. So no need to manage licenses here.
How do they develop and test the gitlab runner for Windows then?
The fact that there are a ton implies that at some point one of them will luck their way into success.
Arizona and Ohio are silicon chip fabs, in Italy it would be a packaging fab taking silicon dies from other Intel fabs to produced packaged chips. Packaging can be pretty high tech and challenging nowadays, but it's not the same cost as silicon dies production.
You don't need Windows to build Web apps that run on it.
> P031 – Do not alter the state of the switch

Strikes me as the "Do not push" sign above the large red button.
Most x86 hardware comes with Windows license already. If build your own, I bought a Windows 11 Pro license last week for $13. Cost shouldn't be an issue.
I’ve never met anyone who was aware of the feature. Its removal kept me from upgrading my 6S until just this year.
I wonder how much that goes back to predatory enforcement where one person using a home/personal license inappropriately could lead to costly audit requests … or the suggestion that if you buy an enterprise license the problem will go away. People have long memories about that kind of thing.
"macOS is preinstalled on Apple computers and Linux is available free of charge. To approve the use of Windows, GitLab would have to purchase Windows Professional licenses, as Windows Home Edition does not satisfy GitLab's security guidelines."
