I run Ubuntu on my P53. It's almost great, but has really bad issues with the keyboard. Occasionally a key will get "stuck" (in some non-mechanical way) and I can't use the keyboard without logging out and in again. I believe it happens a lot less frequently after some BIOS updates, but I think there's a trade-off where keypresses are sometimes missed. Sometimes I think I typed something right, but when I read back there are missing letters.

It's not quite bad enough for me to do anything radical like get a new laptop, but it's pretty bad. Maybe I'm unlucky somehow.
HN doesn’t really give you the dopamine hit of a well-placed tweet or Reddit comment (though I’ve never submitted through to the front page so maybe that does).

Some older forums feel similar but they’ve often fallen to spammers who automate attacks against phpbb
I also find that HackerNews doesn't suffer from groupthink as bad as other platforms. It is common to find Opinion A the top voted comment, and Opinion B which is completely contrary will be the most upvoted child comment, because both present valid points.

It feels more like an adult conversation where people can agree to disagree and carry on with their lives.

The high standard of moderation also helps.
Maybe a knee jerk reaction, but why cannot the low latency users skip the queue, or even throw out a existing job and reschedule it for later - the bulk users does not care, right?

The problem reminds me how we made a lousy internet connection usable across a whole dorm using queues in m0n0wall to prioritize low latency traffic
Lol, yeah... back in the day a snide remark like that would have ruffled my feathers too.

Lots of people told me "you get more flies with honey" but it can take a while for that to become a reflex. I'll probably never really get to the point where I can wear the hat of a highly polished, glib salesperson. But we perservere :-)

Retail sales is a tough game! What more is there to say?
It happens at the company level too. You end up with a lot of decisions being made by the minority that (1) feels strongly and (2) is willing to speak up.

It's an interesting dynamic. I've been on both sides in my career. Silent is much easier but doesn't get you recognition & promotions.
You just described how to get brain drain, by limiting the development of your students you will for ever be stuck with no outside influences. Students will often come home even if they get education abroad.
The problem is the double standard. It's only ever conservatives who are criticized for this kind of pointless politicking and tribalism, while it goes unchallenged from the other side.
It's common to add {year} to queries to find current answers to things. This aids in that practice.
I'm sure Postgres is full of these inefficiencies and suboptimal system designs. The process model is known to be pretty horrible.

Considering the huge engineering teams SqlServer and Oracle have, I'm always amazed how well Postgres works - despite the tiny number of full time developers.
Google needs to be slapped with an anti trust lawsuit so hard their children feel it.

This is so brazen they don’t even care
>kind of

Exactly, kind of. It's actually a Chrome that removes the native ads, inserts their own ads they sell as a middle man and a built-in weird crypto currency.
Comments yes, posts no. Post downvoting either does not exist or has much higher karma threshold.
It's not an ad, it's a link from their forum. Of course they're talking about their product.
Sure, let's go, I'll start:

Poverty, unemployment, lack of opportunities, industries destroyed, invisibilisation of the working class, not wanting to die out in the streets because your country has potentially no or bad social nets, destruction of said social nets forcing people to take even miserable jobs. We can go on.

Here's a hint for you, since it's your turn: the amount of people doing Uber because they love driving people around a traffic-jammed city in a 300000km piece of shit car is close to zero
Maybe they were made in Star Wars order.
But surely the concept of loss leaders can't be problematic in itself? I have no problem with a supermarket subsidising the price of one product to get me in the door, for example.
Honestly, it was pretty obvious that something along these lines was going to eventually happen. Taxis were generally not a high margin business. Why should Uber have ended up with lower pricing especially with all their overhead?

And the urbanites who baked subsidized Uber into their lifestyles will just have to adjust.
We're all gonna be so screwed if Firefox dies.
Anyone knows how fast this runs on an m1 macbook air?
Then you haven’t seen my company’s codebase ;) this is where CSS in JS done well shines - you can use JS standard modules to handle all this code sharing. Choose the right abstractions - in my experience 90% of UIs can be expressed as sets of evenly spaced stacks of elements (horizontal or vertical) and if you export well thought out mixins that express that concept and your team understands why they should use them, you’re most of the way there.
I have AdGuard installed for Safari on my phone and it seems to do fine. Also have a pihole on home network (which unfortunately due to the router I can’t block ipv6 traffic but whatever is left going via ipv4 is at least blocked)
It works if you zoom out a level. If all fiat currencies are printing massively and holding nominal rates near zero (and real rates negative), then the value of all currencies relative to goods and services will fall. Owning anything which produces goods and services, at any price, becomes a good bet.

You can run this mathematically with a discounted cash flow analysis. Plug in a negative discount rate to any positive series of cash flows. The sum becomes infinite, i.e. under conditions of negative real interest rates, the fair market value for any cash-flowing asset is infinite. This is pretty close to the conditions that exist in most developed economies today, and this is why you see these outlandish valuations for assets.

You're seeing the beginnings of a worldwide currency crisis. Most of us who grew up in the developed world over the last 80 years are used to our money being worth something; when this no longer holds, counterintuitive behavior results.

manifest v3: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/

> Manifest V3 is part of a shift in the philosophy behind how we approach end-user security and privacy.

it requrires you to declaratively specify what to block in advance, so it's going to be pretty easy to write some logic that can't be declaratively specified

I suspect killing the adblockers is the entire reason behind it
Not only do we break them, but the best and brightest among us break them.
Yeah, well, both versions work on my system. I don't know how to check if I'm getting any kind of acceleration, probably not on AMD.

EDIT: I think it's actually using Vulkan Compute on RADV.
How do these VPN adblocking setups work with Tailscale and other VPNs?

I already have issues with Tailscale and NextDNS, I doubt this will make it any easier.
Excuse me, your links are indeed fine when loaded from a video player. That's odd, I don't recall akamai refusing to serve the hls manifest to browsers before. I wonder why they started doing that...
For me, it doesn't seem to alter the frequency of the underlying tinnitus "signal", but it does add some lower frequency rumbling, which I believe is my tensor tympani response.
You misunderstand the trap that is poverty. Uber isn't "allowing them to make money in bad conditions". Uber has become the condition. There is no getting out of being a Uber driver when your day is spent driving around. No ability to look for other employment related to what you were doing, no ability to get training for another job. Uber thrives on misery.

So, yes, pôle emploi is a better option for many. Note that driving an Uber doesn't even get you qualified for unemployment later on, should you want to stop.
Driving in Northern Europe or Germany is a completely different experience than in almost anywhere else in the world or specially in the Americas.
People actually follow the laws for the most part, they drive defensively, which usually boils down to breaking instead of honking in anger to avoid accidents. In general, compared to the US and South America you get the impression that people are actually paying attention to what they are doing behind the wheels. Of course, as a tourist maybe I looked at things with rose-tinted glasses, YMMV
Apparently Vanced has been C&D'd so it's only a matter of time before the API changes and it dies.

Unsure if there's been a development since then.
Sure one colossal gain on investment can recoup all bad investments but if you are responsible investor you don't throw $300 million at pets.com like ideas. If idea sounds cool on the paper it doesn't mean it will work in the real life necessarily.
Dell Precision 7 series or the Lenovo workstation equivalent whatever they call it. These two options have the official Linux support, everything else just gets progressively worse.
True, but there's templating with variables and conditionals too. Useful for differentiating between environments, for example work Mac and home WSL2.
> The problem with ontological purity is that it would need complicated features that aren't worth bothering with.

I think that might be true, but I don't think that's usually the problem. I think the problem is that there is almost never one "true" ontology, there are usually multiple overlapping ontologies. And in most cases of real programs, you don't need an ontology anyway.

Most programs, if they need to handle ellipses as well as circles, should simply treat everything as an ellipse. If there is a specific time you need to know if something is a circle, write a function to check that. If performance is eaten up checking for circles repeatedly, sort the data into two lists of circular ellipses and non-circular.
A somewhat recent trend has been the previously unfathomable decision by many escaped North Koreans to return. I used to think that the term "late stage capitalism" was a coping mechanism by those who couldn't handle what a fallen Soviet Union meant for the future of communism as an ideology. Now I wonder if the West's individualism as religion, and the complete lack of social bonds and cohesion that it gives rise to, might lend some credibility to it.
> CONCLUSIONS. Our results support the hypothesis that the transition from occasional to constant tinnitus is accompanied by neuronal changes in the midbrain leading to a persisting tinnitus, which is then less likely to remit.

It was actually easier to come to terms with my tinnitus, once I realised that it was never going away.
> Given falcon 9 has been launching crew dragon for a numbe of years, and Starship is the selected lander, and falcon heavy exists for heavy lift, why continue with the SLS?

I think this will be a much more pressing question (if?) after Starship starts flying regularly and finishes its demo mission to the moon as part of its Artemis obligations. It's easy to rationalize SLS with whataboutism while Starship is in development - particularly since SpaceX favors a hardware rich style. I'm not saying that this is good decision making, just that the arguments are plausible - the fig leaf is dense enough to do its job.

But if Starship is able to achieve and/or surpass the flight rate and safety record of Falcon 9, it'll be much more difficult to criticize; and consequently, it'll be much more difficult to support continued SLS development.

> I ... would have like to see NASAs stop shovelling good money after bad.

I too would like to see that. But I'm not particularly optimistic.
Portability is the first thing I look for in a work machine, personally.

I have a nice desktop setup, 5k2k, keeb, trackball, stream deck, my laptop runs it without making any noise, slowing down, or otherwise misbehaving.

I can easily drive to the manufacturer's authorized retail outlet in the event that it has problems, which has indeed happened twice over the nine laptops I've owned from this manufacturer in the last 15 years.

YMMV. Brand not mentioned out of respect for the aesthetics of this thread.
Do you know vvvv gamma[1][2]? It's a visual programming environment for the .Net ecosystem. It's documents are saved in a XML format and they have build a visual merge / diff tool that works quite well. The strategies it applies are explained in detail in the readme of the repo[3].

hm but can't you do the same thing (gzipping) with the db itself?

Edit. Regardless of if you maybe even meant that, I made a small test too: A 42 MB db zipped is 8.8M, but its sql dump zipped is 4.9M, so almost half the size. Pretty good already. If you don't just `.dump` but actually output the tables in a consistently sorted manner, the size might go down even more and will enable very efficient delta-ing. Questionable value to effort ratio though...
And you can compress it, so it's actually much less than this as English (and languages in general) are highly compressible...
Kinda the same way that there was a GPU shortage up until recently. You can go out and order an rPi now and it will get delivered within a week, but the markup is insane. It's basically impossible to find any Pi hardware at MSRP.

Chips in general are still experiencing supply chain issues too, so this is unlikely to change.
The Song of Deborah may be older than the Rig Veda, and that's already pretty young compared to the properly ancient stuff from Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Yeah, lots of junk is added today, not just ads. I can't find the link right now but I'm sure I saw a couple years ago (probably linked here) an article showing that over half of the data traffic is either ads or junk that wastes bandwidth, which isn't flat on mobile.
Aaaaaand SCRUBBED. Didn't even make it off the ground. Shocking.
Oh, if you wouldn't mind sharing, that would be greatly appreciated! For set up of my machine(s), I was going to go the route of using a bash or python script...but when i learned (a high level summary) of ansible, figured that might be a skill that i can leverage for work in the future too. So, I'm trying to play, learn about ansible. (I already have basics of python, so ansible was an add-on for me.) The more that i can learn from examples of others, the better i can learn what are good practices, etc. Thanks!
Assuming you're in the US, if this is really happening, you need to take screenshots of the inappropriate ads, document the experience and send it to your congressman and senator. Go to the local office and speak with the staffers. They need to see and hear from their constituents having this awful experience for there to be any change.
Unless killed for meat by indigenous folks who need it I 100% support the tracking/hunting/fining/imprisoning/etc of anyone that kills an Elephant for its tusks or worse for sport.
That's really cool. One change would be for nested structures I wouldn't put and arrow but have it be a property with the rest of the properties that then has an arrow to the contents.
12:36 UTC: The launch director has scrubbed the launch
Launch has been scrubbed for today, as of 8:36 eastern.
In the UK there are probably very few 'true believers' left in the Church of England, including within the priesthood. The church has been dying for decades, which personally I feel is a shame. There are many beautiful buildings, rituals and music that will die with it.
I have a 2020 ROG zephyrus g15 and it’s great other than the noise/heat which is annoying but not a deal breaker. and prior to 2022 there was a lack of camera. It doesn’t compare to the new M1/M2 laptops (I bought one for my parents and it’s incredible) but I’m satisfied for my needs, which needed to be Linux/Windows with a DisplayPort for VR.
As someone who really appreciates strong typing, I will die on this hill - I hate Typescript.

Introducing a transpiled typing system on top of a dynamically typed language is a recipe for all sorts of insane complexity, which is what I experience whenever I try to use TS. If you consider all the time and effort it took to introduce types for every NPM project out there, all the development of the language itself, the effort expended by individual devs and teams to learn the syntax...

...might it have been the same amount of effort just to introduce some strong types into Javascript itself? It's not like the language can't adapt, and there are already some strong types when you're working with the graphics APIs.
It was the second computer I ever used - first I owned

Learned how to program on it :)
… and then you hit a COVID related thread and realize it’s really just Reddit for people with more self confidence.
Many pieces of critical infrastructure (hospitals, for example) have enormous backup diesel generators, for one.
The new new trend is to offload processing to the edge.
It's been scrubbed!

Hydrogen leak in one of the H2 lines. Bummer!
Scrubbed due to engine bleed temperature issue. Sounds like this was a point of concern, but also something that was specifically tested during the dress rehearsal. More debugging being done on the pad (not defueling yet), but no going to space today.
Doesn't do anything for me.
Being vocal or silent - does this matter as long as one does not listen first?
Cannot give specific site of hand but for me its SPA sites and the page is just blank.
The Office’s Last Stand
This is one of the reasons that I upvote comments I disagree with. If it’s posited even a bit well, it’s valuable.

i am an audiologist and that sounds like TMJ https://www.tmjtreatmentsc.com/blog/explaining-tinnitus-ear-... ..so yes, it is possible.
A few hundred Euro cheaper than a flagship carrier? Eh maybe. A few hundred Euro cheaper than other (often not great but still more reliable) budget carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair? That'd be very rare, and likely only in teaser/promo fares that are only available in extremely limited quantity and which can go either way
Have students lost the ability to do hard math problems?
It’s tragic so many of us have had to leave after 89. And I completely agree with you that this trend must be fought.

However, I also think helping students have better lives is good overall. Many of us come back later. Perhaps if in the future there is a political change back towards worker power, many more of us will come back. And we’ll have useful skills honed in the meantime.
Apple doesn’t have to sell parts in order to change the industry. Check out Intel’s offerings and roadmap and compare it to two years ago.

Taxi rates are almost exclusively set by local regulation
My only problem with NextDNS is the youtube ads, but that's kinda unavoidable.
Otherwise works flawlessly.
Wouldn't a priority system enable serving both batch and low-latency requests with one cluster with good utilization? Could be furthermore improved if the batch requests can be interruptible.
Purism explicitly put Linux support first, unlike Framework. Suspend is flawless, any flavor of Linux should work out of the box, including FSF-endorsed distros. Default PureOS is FSF-endorsed. The devices require no binary blobs whatsoever, even for WiFi.

Purism explicitly prioritize security (https://puri.sm/security) and privacy (https://puri.sm/posts/tag/privacy/), unlike Framework. Intel ME is disabled (for Librem 15, also neutralized), hardware kill switches are really convenient. First class Qubes support, it can even be preinstalled (it's what I use).

Most important things are repairable/replaceable: battery, WiFi card, RAM, SSD, screen (I think). I heard keyboard is hard to replace though, but I had no problems with it. The keyboard is great, but the touchpad is worse than the one in Macs. I use a mouse. The laptop is thin, beautiful and powerful for my tasks.
Artemis 1 launch delayed until September
Isn't this the whole business model of SV in the last 20 years? Dump huge amounts of money into non-profitable companies with the hopes that someone will buy them later.
I do. Before (in PG's times) one could express an unpopular view and folks would jump in en masse to refute it on merits. Posts in a lively discussion would not get downvoted for content that doesn't fit a narrative.

Now minority opinions, even rationally expressed are just downvoted, which discourages writing them at all.

I think HN is slowly losing ability to have a discussion with people who hold different views. Now it is "my votes are stronger than your votes". Which is sad. Mt 2c.
Sad to see it scrubbed, but I hate that this is becoming the expectation on this thing.

More and more I have to wonder how long they will continue to work on this and just cut their losses?

At some point this isn't just a money sink but is a bad look and I worry can put doubt on space and NASA in general?
Check out Cure Dolly on YouTube and weep at the poor quality of instruction that you’re probably receiving.

Also I don’t know how much actual conversational practice you get from day to day life - but at least for me, I talk with my wife and my (mostly Japanese) friends in Japanese for hours every day, and that makes a huge difference. Once a week would simply not be enough.
IKEA’s Knowledge Graph and Why It Has Three Layers
I mean, that should work as long as they are also good at identifying talent. There are plenty of Japanese people who are very good at their jobs, and being racist (if we're going to rely on pure pragmatism) doesn't in itself make management incompetent. The problem is that the line of thinking that makes racism sound like a good idea is one that also leads to other poor decisions.
It’s also interesting to consider that with two (?) full time employees and a few servers you can support something like HN.

Compared to its reach, that’s surprisingly cheap.

And “hacker news” isn’t even the domain!
Feels pretty lined up to the amount of programmers who are skilled in writing compilers.
In a somewhat similar vein, here's Peter Pringle singing the opening lines of The Epic of Gilgamesh (written 4,000 years ago), using our best guess at Sumerian pronunciation and playing a modern recreation of an instrument that the Sumerians would have had, as an attempt to guess what ancient Sumerian music might have sounded like: https://youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTsFe1PVs

I was interested to buy the 14Z90Q since it ticked most of the boxes for me: lightweight, good battery life, TB4 ports, 12th gen cpu, not crazy expensive RAM upgrade, etc.

The only downside on the specs was the screen brightness only 350 nits for the latest model.

Also I read some negative comments on Amazon about CPU throttling that seems to be more aggressive than for other laptops. I don't have more information at which temperature throttling starts and to which frequency it goes, so it might be a false alarm but I would be interested to read owners comments.

We are building a cheaper and better alternative over at https://app.build.io ; you can start importing your Heroku apps to our platform or create new apps on it, it automatically builds apps with continuous delivery from your GitHub repository. When you import your app from Heroku we get your buildpacks (or detect them if you didn't manually set them) and sync your environment variables with Heroku, so you can keep your addons running on Heroku but save money with our cheaper and faster "dynos" (we call them instances).
