I think most are not actually alcoholics. They drink a lot, but it doesn't take over their lives, in the way that alcoholism does.

They are back in the office at 8AM, the next day, and it's as if nothing happened.

But a lot of my friends did suffer some serious health problems, and I suspect that drinking played a part. Japan has a pretty good healthcare system.

The stress level of a salaryman is pretty much "off the charts." The management practices are brutal, and the days long. On Saturdays, they work "half days," which means they work for six hours.

The company I worked for was a pretty "high achievement" company. I suspect the pressure was higher for our folks, than at other companies.
Are there any special keyboards, with only rotary encoders, to supplement a regular keyboard? Could be cool to adjust volume, colors, text size, scroll position and whatever is possible.
Maybe consider a different design like this keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-PLATINUM-Mechanical-Gaming-Ke...

The roller in the top right is mapped by default to the volume which is very convenient.
TSMC would exist without apple, it just would be way less relevant

TSMC started becoming relevant because apple switched from Samsung to TSMC way back in in the second iPhone if I am not mistaken

They started getting a lot of cash and investing it back in RnD, and with time got to where they are now, leading the industry by far with only Samsung capable of providing somewhat competing technology but with much smaller market share
I reversed the numeric row of my keyboard layout so that the symbols are typed without the shift key and the numerals use the shift key. With that arrangement, a number pad is important for any meaningful numeric input.

But as a programmer, I can't stress enough how valuable it is to type symbols without constantly reaching for the shift key. "Programmer Dvorak" does this as well, but then you have to learn a new arrangement of symbols and deal with numerals that aren't in numerical order.
> …does “letting community down” matters?

Yes. A lot of contributors from the community put countless hours on making software work on this hardware. And a lot of work still needs to be done.

If the hardware vendor turns its back on the community, that'll drive developers away, demotivate them or burn them out. See also: https://blog.brixit.nl/why-i-left-pine64/

> can’t you just… put your own OS on there or whatever?

You can put your own OS on pretty much any hardware. But you need A LOT of effort, and if you drive contributors away, that goal also moves further away. If the hardware vendor doesn't collaborate, it's even harder.
This is why we have a glut of indistinguishable "50-hour video courses" on every micro-topic imaginable. Everyone's trying to sell a shovel.
From the "Design Principles" section that points out other rules (that seem to be compiler enforced) and the reasoning behind it:

------------

5. The next compiler version will add a new feature

Once a compiler version is released programs will be written and distributed. The next version must not break the existing programs. Thus it must be possible to add keywords, types, modules, etc. without worrying that this might break someone's carefully crafted code.

Keywords are all-caps. No user symbol may be all-caps
Builtin type names are all lowercase. User types must start with an uppercase letter.
Builtin module names are all-caps. User modules must contain a lowercase letter.
Predefined methods start with an uppercase letter. User methods must start with a lowercase letter.

This may seem a bit strange at first, but one gets used to it very quickly. And the compiler gives a clear error message when making a mistake.
Nice concept, but I barely notice the usernames.
In order to raise meat you also need land, tractors, and fertilizer which also seem to be targets of the Davos attendees.

> Too many people take the current consumption society for granted. It is not a human right.

It isn't a privilege granted by our rulers either, in fact it's the very thing that everyone is working to maintain so why shouldn't we enjoy the fruit of our labor?
I love this keyboard! Looks really well designed and awesome to use. I signed up for the list and cant wait! Good job!
Cypress Is Dead
yeah I have absolutely no idea. When I look on linkedin, google, typical job boards and others, I mostly find startups.
Monopolistic behavior is subjective.

Shutting out all competitors from new technology for years by outspending them (arguably from profits largely made via other monopolistic like behaviors) could qualify for many.

I'll never understand the endless parade of apple goons who rush to defend them at every turn. Use some critical thought instead of treating it like sports
This is what I was getting at - almost nothing in my scientific field is 100% and I find that true of most things. Thus my question- how sure are we. If we are at six sigma levels great, but I find that at odds with the little I do know.
Yeah, right. If there's one thing that works predictably is banning drugs...
The same question applies. It seems that Moore's law improvements on speed and power consumption over the past ~10 years have served only to help programmers write shittier more bloated software such that the net performance and efficiency gain is zero or slightly negative.
Free markets often result in accumulation of wealth and marketshare, with the big players making anticompetitive moves. Anti-trust regulations make the market less free.

The free market sucks. People need to stop valorizing it.
I have no ties to these people, but say after a pandemic and recession, a corner restaurant raises prices, drops your favorite dish and the rest come in smaller portions and don't taste as good. Would you shout that they let community down and demand an apology, or would you just accept that running a small business is hard and many don't make it, or fail to cater to any customer. Non-Android Linux phone is already a niche, your own distro is niche of a niche, like vegan gluten free keto dishes. Maybe they just can't figure out how to pay for such support rather than being malicious jerks? Even tech giants drop features all the time
Apologies - I was indeed referring to the cash back rewards.
Nvidia used Samsung before

AMD used global foundries

You don't have to. I have the PinePhone Pro, you can flash Tow-Boot to the SPI without having to fiddle with the hardware. After that, you can chose to boot on the MMC, or the SD Card by pressing some buttons without issue.

But the important issue being discussed here is not a technical issue. It is a community / social issue.
Any advice on how to contribute to open source? Everytime I want to, the project seems too big and the issues too complex. Either that, or someone else has already started working on an issue before I can ask to take it on.
This article is specifically about the high-volume manufacturing milestone, which can be over a year after the first working chips leave the fab.
And imagine actually using one of these. Space heaters are one of the leading causes of fires, these ones seem like they have much greater fire risk since the Bitcoin stuff adds complexity that regular space heaters dont have.
thank you - I am upset about my ex-friend; I myself have been to both urban and coastal Japan on tour; I am concerned for the Japanese people, and for USA.. both ways are turning sour in modernity; Alcohol is not "the solution" and as noted here, a giant serious problem for many.

People are in bulk sufficiently lazy that it still works to cap the serving size.
What kind of power does it actually use? The specs seem to indicate that it can take in up to 72W but is that legitimate? I currently have a no name 40W iron and have been eying the Pinecil for a while but don’t know if this will be good enough to solder thicker gauge wire.
So it is 100% certainty then? Not just very unlikely? The quantification of certainty among experts is what I am wondering
It's tough to compare averages across populations when the people who don't drink really don't drink. Something that takes into account number of drinks per drinking occasion might paint a different picture.

How dare you.

> What better way to get young people to procreate

Give them better employment opportunities, better work culture, ways to save money, home ownership... But nah, the problem is surely that they aren't drinking enough.
Oops, I'll fix that shortly.
I think that's total conjecture, they were very competitive long before they started catering to $PHONECO: https://www.tsmc.com/english/dedicatedFoundry/technology/log...
Cue the Ryan Reynolds meme: "...But why??"

I've recently started my path towards sobriety (5 months next week) and I feel significantly healthier than I have ever felt over the past few decades of drinking.

I feel empathy for similar folks in my position in Japan: it's already difficult enough with liquor ads almost everywhere (e.g. I see them all the time in YouTube, and I don't have recourse to tell them that I find that whole category of ads inappropriate for someone trying to fight temptation like that) but I can't imagine how difficult it would be if the _government_ is pressing you to drink more.
The author probably wouldn't want to give away free copies to everyone. If somebody came up with a tool that could scan your kindle library and allow the author to license and distribute new copies if you already bought the book on Kindle that would be legal. As a coordination issue between platforms, publishers an authors, this might be impossible to do at scale.

This requirement is weird.
Not everyone upgrades to the latest macOS version and lots of people still prefer to run macOS 10.x.
agreed. it looks gorgeous and i’m very tempted by it. i’m not really the target market as i don’t really care about a mechanical keyboard.. but i’m honestly considering it.
I had the same reaction and am now also subscribed.

- low profile, fantastic

- not full size. Numpads only get in the way!

- mechanical keys

- rotary encoder. Useful for everything! Fl studio, moving pixels in vegas, audio knob etc.

- i don’t mind the font, but perhaps a version without any typography would be nice.

I hope they’ll ship to Norway.
Switching virtual screens jumps to mind for me.
I personally loved the old Sun keyboards that backspace and delete right above each other so you could fix the most annoying^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcommon terminal problem by just moving a finger instead of screwing around with tty settings.
Iran may not have been colonized but their democratic government was overthrown by the US and Britain to prevent them nationalizing their fossil fuel supply.

I often wonder what the Middle East would look like today if Iran has been able to use their oil wealth for their own democratic civil development.
Monopoly: the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.

The fact they got more money than competitors and leverage that to get exclusive control doesn't matter much. Textbook definition of a monopoly. On legal side, IANAL, no idea if this could be illegal somewhere.
Well given their life expectancy, they must be doing something right.

It’s a free market, but not a competitive market. Antitrust laws reduce the freedom of the market in order to increase competition, because it’s considered better for the majority of market participants to trade that freedom for competition.
Ask HN: Any climate related open source projects?
I'm looking for a place to contribute as a software engineer to helping with climate change. Are there any existing open source projects that are looking for contributors that folks would recommend?

There seem to be lots of projects, but everyone I have looked at looks abandoned etc.
The Code Smells Catalog
I know Japanese who are born in Japan with mixed race parents and have very fair hair. Common Japan isn't a freaking isolated island anymore, it's not 1830.

Some Japanese are born with brown hair, it's rare but it happens, they'd be forced to die their hair black.
> How're they doing with the eye fatigue problems? The nausea? How much money has gone into haptic with how much result? Can we even suspend a human so they can walk without moving?

Nausea hasn't been a major issue for a while AFAIK. I remember showing my father my DK1 and he told me he almost puked (that was a pretty common reaction among people I let try it). Several years later I show him a modern headset with positional tracking and he was able to play games with no complaints.
Not really, I've been thinking that for years, it's just been hitting me more recently.

But it seems unlikely for me that anyone in general tech would know much about the science industry or positions of "research engineer" without having prior exposure to that industry somehow.

Like, I could spend 2 more decades doing full stack dev, it would change nothing to the kind of jobs available to me. I'm already as high as I can go in this area without going into management (which I have no interest in)
Who are you, Mannoroth?
AFAIK they signed a deal with education ministry of Turkey so that Delphi will be taught as the programming language in technical high schools.
Yeah, I've had it installed, more than once in the past few years, but I just can't bring myself to use it.
No, it's black.
I remember being a little impressed when in some version of C++ Builder i used a symbol from another source file and when i pressed Ctrl+S to save it, the editor automatically added the necessary #include file at the top. This is the mark of an IDE that actually knows the language it is editing.

The closest i've seen elsewhere is QtCreator littering the code with red error messages about the unknown symbol while i'm typing the code together with a lightbulb next to the line with it which, if i click on, it adds the #include.

From a technical perspective the ability seems to be there, it just doesn't feel as smooth and seamless. Not to mention all these errors that appear while i'm typing make me anxious - like, STFU, i know the code is wrong, i'll fix it once i finish typing this part :-P.
FYI, in the UK we have a scheme called Direct Debits where you authorise companies to take recurring payments from your bank account directly (including of variable amounts eg for utilities). So you don't "need" credit cards for that. You can cancel them immediately via the bank and you're fully protected against bad charges.

It’s obviously proprietary: it’s non-standard and specific to a single vendor.

What is the whole idea, though? Serving things to kernel from userland is decades old and commonly used with both NFS and iSCSI. The fact that this particular implementation uses io_uring instead of something non-proprietary like RDMA, is just an implementation detail.

I got into public service recently and immediately had to work on a service for "less important than 112 calls" and a service to find a nearby doctor.

A couple of other projects I touched are rather meaningless, but this 50/50 ratio of meaningless to meaningful projects is a refresher from years spent in banking or Silicon Valley focused data-shmining unicorn.
They also have the problem that their population is in decline, so perhaps more drunken accidents might be a small band-aid.
Putting aside the ethics of this at the moment which other comments cover, I wonder if at this stage the lower sales have anything to do with the continued restrictions on tourism, or if tourists make up a negligible amount of alcohol sales.

I looked it up the other day, and you can technically visit Japan as a tourist, but you have to book a guided package tour through an agency. It seemed like the guide has to be with you everyday.
They really should just do transistors/mm^2 or transistors/mm^2/watt or something.
Yep, that's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Definitely going to look at this board, thanks :D

The 3d renderings are all created in Keyshot. The model was created in Fusion 360.

I am fairly new to both and found them both reasonably intuitive.
I wish it was a metasearch engine like dogpile.

It just opens a new tab with the term you entered on the search engine you clicked.

So type ‘test’, hit google and it just opens google with ‘test’.
Agreed, but I don't think this is limited to capitalism. Really almost all forms of government.

In any system there will both people who are trying to take advantage of the rules in place. To combat that, you add bureaucracy to attempt to put checks and balances along the way. Some groups will still succeed and get government sponsored rules that may not necessarily be in the public's best interest.

Corporate greed is an pretty strong incentive for abuse and lobbing of a government system. But greed exists even without private corporations.
I (limey brit) use my debit cards all the time online...

To be clear, they're VISA cards issues by the bank with a 16 digit main number and the payment appears on my bank statement within about 5 minutes.
They have a free community edition for individuals.
the connector is almost the only thing that matters to make it work -- you can wire up LIPOs with varying numbers of cells and it will happily work, so long as you don't go too far above specs. I've run mine in 3S, 4S, and even a 6S config, though 6S is probably really too far.
Nice product. May I ask the differentiator with commercial packages for industrial vision like Halcon or Cognex?
I can see this being useful as a narrative document for collaboration. Explaining to someone how a business process might work given x/y/z pricing. Easy to embed the "why" aspects of things but also it autocalcs things so they could play with the numbers and see the change in impact. Some people can "think in spreadsheet" (I'm quite happy there) but that's not the best medium for everyone.
Sorry for any confusion - what I wrote was "FM does not guarantee most mortgages" in reply to the OP claiming FM guaranteeing mortgages is subsidizing the housing market.

(And I ignored that FM is not the Federal Govt for now...)

From the stats of conforming mortgages being 40% of mortgages and the FM only buying 60% of those, FM is at most guaranteeing (to investors, for a fee) around 24% of mortgages. That's well under 51%, right?

So FM not guaranteeing most mortgages is true, and it's not even close.
I don't understand how this is possible

Here's the explanation:

according to the National Retail Federation, a lobby group

Spoiler alert: most lobbyists are professional liars. If pressed they'll put up a smokescreen of "well I meant _operating_ costs, which of course are far smaller than cost-of-goods" but the lie is still printed in the article...
There are already physical switch on the back of the phone. I don't understand why there couldn't be one to select the CPU boot drive: eMMC or sdcard?
I feel like I'm the target customer here. I use macOS and exclusively use minimalistic keyboards.

I like this a lot and would consider buying if the price point was right. The only change I would like to see is a smaller font size on the number keys.

Congrats and good luck!
Why is number row font emphasized?
No space between F keys. It helps find the keys faster, for example, in debugging case.

So I'm critical of Tim Cook because he's just not a leader like Steve Jobs was. This doesn't mean he isn't capable however. Tim Cook has had a massive impact on Apple's success and things like this TSMC deal are more evidence of this.

This began more than 10 years ago when Apple was sitting on a massive pile of cash. What do you do with all that cash? Most companies will simply pay dividends or, more commonly now, do share buybacks (side note: it's become popular to view share buybacks as some kind of systemic problem but they're functionally no different to dividends).

Instead Apple engaged in vendor financing. A lot of components Apple needs requires massive capital investment. Companies might borrow money for this. Apple essentially became the bank, saying we'll give you the money for this. In return Apple gets some combination of preferential pricing, guaranteed availability or exclusivity for a certain period.

Eventually Apple doesn't even need to spend money to do this. Just the commitment for a buyer the size of Apple to purchase your output can have the same effect. It'll help secure financing and Apple can extract the same preferential treatment for that commitment.

This is the logistics side of Apple's business and Tim Cook was the architect of that.
Wireless mechanical keyboards feel rare - this is awesome!

I particularly love the ideals on the About page.

"Everything is black"
"Well paid workers. Good working conditions"

This is a product where you can so clearly see the thought that went into it (partially because you tell us how much thought went into it) and it shows.

Beautiful work and congratulations.
I absolutely love this, and this the first mechanical keyboard I actually want to get.

One option I hope you will provide--that I hope is easy enough that you would actually consider--is to provide a key cap set that is completely blank, or is very minimal. I don't need anything printed on my keyboard, and I would prefer to not see such a gorgeous keyboard with all that white printed on it, especially the number caps.
Probably crushing beers at an Izakaya, which is practically a bar but not in the same style as western bars.
