In a way Monero has been good money last couple of years. Not fluctuating too much up or down compared to others. So using it as fungible money could be ok. Monero has trade-offs though, how many are mined and have there been exploits/bugs in the supply?
I'm curious, how did the haptic feedback that indicates that you've enabled the feature make it unusable? FWIW its replacement is the same in that respect.
Thanks! From the manual, it looks like it only has support for rotation and not the flipping.

I can second this. Roborock was already years ahead when we bought ours (3 years ago?) and when I look at what their latest models can do it's pretty clear that Roomba forgot to invest into new technologies.
This relies on public-key cryptography? If that is the case, then who is responsible for maintaining the private key? If that responsibility is with the user, then what happens if the user loses the private key? Does the user loses the identity as well? Is there a way to recover that?
Or you could try the strategy recommended in the article - trick yourself into wanting to do it.

Wouldn't going through years of notes be fun? Instead of dreading it, shouldn't you be eagerly anticipating the walk down memory lane that this showcase will entail?
So... the kids will probably not have much friends as all the other kids will be socializing online even if that's inferior to physical friendship.

Good or bad, that is the norm now and if you don't let your kid access to a tablet while all the other kids do, that child will be lacking a lot of confidence and practical tech skills.

A balance with both iPad time and physical activity time would be a better tradeoff IMO.
Here is a link to the spec for those who, like me, found weird that it was missing from the announcement: https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/
And for burglars.
I'm not an expert on the business side of things. If VoLTE can be, and is, used to establish and terminate calls in the PSTN domestically it means it continues the call termination business model. So there's no technical reason that it can't also be the case for international calls, or calls while roaming.

There may be other economic reasons, maybe the international market changed and carriers abroad who implemented VoLTE agreed not to charge each other for this, and AT&T didn't want to be part of that. I'm not sure. But just as Skypeout uses VoIP but still bills you for a call and settles after with the terminating network, VoLTE itself presents no technical limitation. I hope that helps.
In addition to what you mentioned they were unable to bring it to the iPad.
Transparency != accountability. These currencies can put whatever stats they want on those pages, but there's nothing holding them accountable for those figures.
I think most people (not devs/designers) view a laptop as something that costs around $750. That is why Windows still has a huge marketshare. Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Microsoft all have laptops that have solid build quality, OLED screens, touchscreens, etc. at $1,500-2,200 price range but no one buys those. If you are in that price range, you are probably in one of those niche industries (design, development, graphics) and you are probably buying an Apple.
In US, maybe. One thing i love about Europe is that people here tend to really follow law to the letter, and actually know it. And consult with lawyers in any case that seems in doubt. When vast majority of people are like that, it's no longer "boot licking", it's for everyone's benefit. It's only stupid when everyone else but you ignores the law.

Hey there,

Sure, Currently no but I'll implement a rate limiting way to prevent that.

I am planning to open source all the code going forward. If you want you have to deploy ( Will document a way to deploy free too ).
There are several failure modes for innovation.

New ARM-based chipset on a laptop? There are benchmarks and apparently we trust that they don't just melt after 1000h of use. (and sometime you can replace a laptop cpu)

Smartwatch? Cool new thing, doesn't really cost an arm and a leg, might try that - maybe the battery can be replaced.

A screen - the one thing that you had to carry very careful (crt), be careful not to scratch while wiping off dust, or not letting your waterbottle press against too heavily in your bag... and now you're folding it?

This is one of the few times you can call me a pure Luddite, I am terrified of this and the idea that it could break like 2 months after warranty ends. Or inside warranty and they just tell me to gtfo because I handled it wrong. Yes, maybe I am overly careful here, but my personal laptops are from 2016 and 2013 and both got some amount of abuse... I like long-lasting hardware...

Ask HN: Machine Learning Expertise Combined with Embedded Knowlege
We're working on some projects involving AI on the edge and targeting low-power devices (think of things that can run for years on a battery).

It seems to be a pretty tricky combination of skills to recruit for. Maybe people with EE degrees who have moved on the machine learning would be a good fit?

Where should we look for these kinds of people?

Or should we focus on finding machine learning experts who can build the models and couple them with people with expertise in the embedded world?
I do see the appeal now, just not when it was announced in 2010 (I think a lot of people didn't at the time).

100%. If my comment was taken as any kind of detraction from the GP's story I truly apologize that was not how it was intended. I think it and the many stories here are meaningful and serve as an important reminder to connect to your loved ones while they are here. My grandparents all died when I was a teenager/early 20s, and I deeply regret that I didn't do more to connect to them while they were here. It's something I still think about, and the only positive is that it's prompted me to reconnect/better connect with my parents who I had kind of drifted away from at the same time.
Which is the core issue, Google has likely gotten better for the average user, but worse for above average users; say this as an above average searcher that has helped average users search for years.

To my knowledge Google neither publishes search quality reports, nor acknowledges that there’s a gap between their search quality for average users and above average users. In my experience even their “Search Quality Raters” (contractors paid to evaluate search quality) are rarely above average searchers, they are just good at evaluating what they evaluate.
The test subcommand of bisect can do anything you want, so it's easy to make a wrapper that does that prep work before starting that actual tests. Just have to remember to pass back the tests' exit code after cleaning up the repository for git.
My contactless payment (GPay with my debit card on it) on my phone works without a cellular connection. It literally just physically acts as a card. This phone has had the SIM removed, airplane mode on with wifi shut off, and only the NFC functionality active. It exists solely as my contactless payment method. The only real issue - you have to keep it powered.
The only annoying Xiaomi moments are when it recognizes a sock as dog poo then refuses to do anything in that area (or I couldn't figure out how to reset it). Ah, and it constantly gets stuck on bar stools pedestals.
mmm, there is something to be said for perfection being the enemy of productive.

Eg for software, at some point you have to stop tweaking and just ship.

More generally, sometimes habits that are recommended in order to boost productivity and/or happiness can act in such a way as to reduce productivity and/or happiness.

Maybe that's not what you were talking about though?
Black holes as physical objects? Sure, you can't positively prove statements, only falsify them.

Mathematical models of physical objects? You can certainly find provable positive statements about those.

The headline is talking about black holes under a specific model, not the 'uninterpreted, true form' of the black holes.
But what is the software support for the folding screen? The hardware is cool and assuming it doesn't break in a few months, I see the lack of much software support as the biggesr adoption roadblocker.

I don't think just treating it as one big screen or two/three separate screens without any more context would be enough.
> But then you're no longer writing Standard C.

Well, of course not - it didn't exist yet! Or, if it existed, your compiler didn't support it yet; or, even if you had upgraded to a newer compiler which did support it (not a given back then), your codebase and development style preceded the standard, so you continued in the existing style.
I've been a Targetted Individual by:

- a stalker (who is intelligent, well-off, but has the resources of a single individual); and

- briefly, by a major organization (who has $20B, and can easily afford to e.g. hire a PI, or a grey hat cybersecurity firm, but ultimately doesn't have anyone who wants to harm me per se).

There weren't any special tech devices involved. Just people spreading rumors, harassment complaints filed with various agencies, invasions of privacy, etc. In the organizational case, I simply folded. I gave up credit for something I invented and financial rewards which would be valued at somewhere between $1M and $200M, depending. The harassment stopped.

I've also seen harassment by my local municipal government. Fortunately, I wasn't the target. It's enough to know that:

1) Harassment does happen.

2) It's very hard to prove, if the other side is at all smart.

3) If I described the things which happened, I'd sound crazy.

However, I'm pretty sure this sort of shit is a lot more common than people give it credit for. I'm also guessing if it were done by a covert agency, there would be tech we don't know about.

I'm not sure the overlap between people talking about harassment and actual harassment. There are plenty of mental health disorders. At the same time, if you actually are being harassed, it's not something you talk about, at least without a veil of internet anonymity.

The startup ecosystem is one of USA's greatest economical strengths. Pragmatically, it's just completely puzzling to me what FTC intends to achieve here. Do they want less startups and less speculative R&D investment in America?

Because it seems like a bad idea for FTC to create these new arbitrary rules that will chill investment in startups, and the only purpose is to punish a corporation whose founder has been spending $10 billion annually on R&D in VR with no profits in sight. Why not let Zuck spend on VR? Most of that money actually flows back into the US economy. Meta becoming a boring dividend-paying corporation would be enriching the capitalist class far worse.
I’ve had an OLED tv from Panasonic that I used quite extensively for the last 3 years and there is absolutely no burn in whatsoever on it.

I was worried about it when I got it but loved how black the backs are so I bought it anyway.

No regrets. I remember a renowned panels review site doing extensive tests on each and it basically took them two years of full brightness always on torture to have burnin on the tv stations markee and around the presenters face. They really overdid it and so I decided it’s not a realistic risk for my usage.
Well, wait and see. Early adopters get to claim the cool factor and the rest of us can pick it up if and when it survives. But it's an interesting development and I do hope that it works out for them once they start fielding them in larger numbers, a recall of these devices in quantity would not come cheap.

I really do miss force touch.

I long felt like once all iPhones (that supported the most recent iOS) had the feature than they could really take it and run with it in iOS. But this never happened.

But the usability improvements of it were great. In music ALL the time I would hold down on a song to pull up the menu, keep my finger down and scroll down to add to next, and lift up to select it. One swipe and I did what I wanted. I could do that quicker than it takes it to register that I am holding down in the first place now. It worked the same was as anything on the Menu on a Mac (holding down and releasing doing the command) and it just felt super intuitive.

I won't deny that it had a discoverability issue, but that feels like the wrong reason to remove the technology.

I am glad this technology still exists on the watch, which has an OS that was always designed with this in mind. So I think it works well there.

I long hope this comes back. But I have to imagine there is a reason this never came to the iPad so maybe that was a major contributor to it being cut.
In early childhood, children's brains will rapidly adapt to their environment (https://academic.oup.com/pch/article/11/9/571/2648303?login=...), for example Aboriginal Australian children develop strong spatial cognition to survive in an environment with few landmarks (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/001002...). It'll be interesting to see what happens when the generation of children whose brains have adapted to oversaturated, constantly changing, narrative-free stimuli by being raised on YouTube Kids reaches adulthood.

If that's your whole use case, yeah, sure. I routinely need to do things like backup and restore, or adjust DB settings, or easily copy data out of SQL and into Excel for tasks, and SSMS is just really, really good at all those things.

As for the "everything emacs" thing, I'll say this: there is near total overlap between the set of people who do this and the set of people for whom tinkering with emacs is a rewarding hobby. If you just want to get work done, it's rarely the most effective path.

emacs for me is a means to an end: OrgMode. Absent org, I'd never have started using it. Once something else comes along that works as well as org and has a better mobile story, I might move on (Obsidian is interesting...).

I am, generally speaking, not a fan of monolithic solutions because it leads to sunk-cost-fallacy thinking and difficulty in migrating to new tools that might serve a purpose better.
Costs of materials follow real estate prices therefore it's always beneficial to seek ways to build homes cheaper.

Zoning and nimbyism, while contributing factors, are not the root cause. It's the idea that real estate should be seen as an investment - it gained popularity in China in recent years, causing a lot of unnecessary construction and spilling over to the rest of the world.

Fortunately(for us at leat) there are early signs that this scheme is collapsing:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-08-03/china-rea...

Funnily enough in my neighbourhood (Eastern EU) there's already a:

- Block of so-called "microapartments" - units too small to be legally considered housing. This one was started before the respective law was changed due to an explosion in such projects.

- A project which took people's money in 2019 and then... never did anything. It's not even a hole in the ground - it's the previous building still scheduled to be demolished.

Apparently the madness also spilled over outside of China.

"calls for more housing from the wealthy and business class are disingenuous; more often really a call for more apartments to be built exclusively in neighbourhoods dominated by the poor and working class and a continued ban of apartments in the low density single family home areas that the wealthy business owning class live in."

That's the case with a lot of the initiatives coming from wealthy people. Le'ts reduce carbon footprint but we still need private jets and multiple huge houses for ourselves. We need privacy but obviously we still need to mine our users' data for profit as much as possible. We need to do something about homelessness but certainly not close to where we are living. The free market is better than government as long as the government protects our IP so we can make profits.
Well, discipline is nothing more really than a delayed gratification rule set. Kids refuse a bath usually not because they’re rebelling against themselves or the parents, but because they don’t get the concept of delayed gratification yet. You make little sacrifices in the present to ensure better future.

This is going to sound slightly harsh, and by no means it’s an invitation to stop thinking or pondering, I think it’s kind of good to be skeptical and think of possible major oversights in the way we live our life, but this kind of hairsplitting wordsmithing is useless, and possibly what is causing this person to neglect that discipline is just a helpful concept. Reading “an embarrassing amount” of self-help books is not a good sign either, but yes, the majority of that crap is just that; crap.

No one can teach you or force you to like exercise, until you do it and like it, then you understand, then you’ll probably fall off the wagon a couple of times, but at least you’ll know that you’re just being lazy, and that’s fine sometimes, but mostly you’ll have to gain experience in fighting laziness tendencies, and it’s probably harder for some people than others depending on many variables I can’t even list.

Biggest factor for people not having discipline (or not wanting to have it, not liking it, etc…) is that they want a quick solution that makes sense, where the answer is that it’s always difficult, you just have to learn to enjoy it and find ways to come to terms with it. Practice more and do it again.

The author is not rebelling against discipline, but really against the self help industry.

The original scheme that made me realize this should always be the goal was Steve Losh's BadWolf [1]

Control flow & operators etc are dark red, identifiers more or less neutral, and top level functions accented. This makes it easy to scan quickly, because you want to be able to navigate a file quickly without getting bogged down in a rainbow of color and then slow down down to understand the tricky bits.

Just reading the comments provided a lot of insight on things like accent color usage.

Im very used to warm colors now so Gotham is the closet spiritual thing in VSCode to this.

The footnotes in this are messed up. The first one, when clicked the first time, landed in the middle of the article text, instead of at the footnote anchor. It looks like there's some misguided JS value-add lib in use here, which is meant to produce some smooth scrolling effect, but ends up making it worse...

The reference to the second is mangled and appears in the text as "[docs^]".

Exactly. It's basically the same device executed a bit better..
The technology has come a long way in these years and the modern models are pretty good devices. I use a Miele canister vac for the deep cleans but I also have a Eufy and a Roborock robot vaccum, one does the random bouncing and the other uses LIDAR to map and clean intentionally, and they're both great. I run them several times a week and the amount of stuff they pull out of the carpet, rugs and off the hard floors is incredible. I would never bust out the Miele several times a week.
Good infrastructure is definitely one of the many requirements for a cashless society. I've personally experienced a blackout that lasted longer than 30 minutes and even then the amount of blackouts I've encountered can be counted on one hand. During those the cell tower backups managed to maintain connectivity for at least 15 minutes. Any store that invested in an UPS for their checkout systems would've just kept going for the entire time the power was out, maybe at a little slower rate because of the sudden influx of connections to the cell towers.

"What if the power goes out" is a question that needs to be answered for any part of society relying on technology, which, with the rise of ICS and IoT systems, is already affecting everything around us. Bridges will be stuck open (or closed), train will stop and grind to a halt, the shipping industry will grind to a halt, hospitals won't work for more than a day, electric cars will be unusable even sooner, the list goes on.

Good digital and electrical infrastructure is far from available everywhere, and in areas where it's not, a completely cashless society is simply not a good idea.
