Me being able to see my wife when she comes in the room, or my kids playing in the room next door is only half the issue. They need to be able to see, and emotionally connect with my face without me having pull off all my gear every time something needs to be said or confirmed. They need to feel like I'm not off in my own separate world, and I don't want to feel that either. As a parent and a work-at-home spouse, and even just as a company founder I'm always multitasking at every given moment. And that means juggling things in the real world as well as the virtual.
In 22H2 it's fully keyboard drivable

- Win+Z brings up the layout menu
- number keys select the layout, then where in the chosen layout the current window should go
- arrow keys then let you select the other windows to complete the tiling

So if I want Firefox (current window) and Slack side by side

- Win-Z inside FF
- 1 selects side-by-side
- 1 again snaps FF to the left (2 would snap to right, and so on for more complex layouts)
- Slack is the first suggested window (MRU), so Space to snap right

It's not as quick as the mouse interface yet - especially with the mouse improvements MS made - but seems like it could be easily automated with eg Autohotkey
Im let to believe posting russian talking points by Elon was stupid.
Off the top of my head: "hard work will be rewarded eventually", "it's pretty easy to save up for a mortgage deposit, you just gotta give up a few luxuries". The list is much longer than that, but at least these two items would be on it in the majority of Western countries.
Not to be confused with doit the well known python scripting/automation/task/makefile type library.

I also see nothing to make this name make sense… what’s this got to do with databases, and *it is a tenuous reference to git at best.
The friend sees you enter the maze at the entrance. They don't watch you traverse the maze, instead they run around the outside of the maze to the exit. They see you leave by the exit 2 minutes later.

They don't know the path you took and they can be reasonably sure you didn't brute-force it in that time.
Upvote. I hate the fact that this war is more about "letting Putin not win" than actually considering what the people in Eastern Ukraine wants for themselves, including peace.
The model used by this research is T5 which is open sourced already. So I think once the dataset is released, we'll see the open version of pre-trained model very soon.
For those who are fed up with Ubuntu but still want a more user-friendly out-of-the-box experience than stock Debian: Linux Mint.

It basically removes the bad parts of Ubuntu while offering a delightful choice of easy to use DEs.
Local effects vs. global effects.

You might make your desert nice, but you're still doing a climate change if you try to install more than a few hundred TW of solar panels.

Ideally you make the desert nice and then take a chill pill before covering all of the deserts and settle for somewhere in the range of 2-100kW per human as a steady state economy powered by a mix of wind, solar, geothermal, and maybe some nuclear.
It can be done, but don't attempt this unless you're ready to fix a ton of tiny problems all over the place. Backup your data and move it over to a fresh installation instead.
I do like Nim also. The only problems are the usual ones plus one:

- IDEs ecosystem (both for D and Nim)
- libraries

Additionally, Nim departs quite a bit from C/C++ to look more than Python. As nice as it looks, Nim is not Python, it has a ton more qualifiers and others. It is fast, but it departs from C/C++ a lot and there is much more than it is apparent to relearn. D's path is smoother in that sense. Also, C/C++ compatibility is a problem.

Yes, I know you could say Nim is very compatible with C. But at the end of the day is a considerable investment of extra work. If it does not work, if it works half-way even if compatible in theory. I have been there many times, I code hybrid in many occassions with scripting layers that are supposed to work, and at the end, there is extra work...
UK salaries have always been low. US salaries have always been very high.

Though we do get unlimited free healthcare and a statutory minimum of 28 days paid leave, and up to 28 weeks paid sick leave. Not quite swings and roundabouts - I'd like a higher salary, but there are some benefits to not living in the US.
Nice one. Do you guys have data on the ground as well or is it just satellite based?
These things might be in theory possible but I wonder if any interviewer would watch out for such little things just to identify if the interviewee is a man or woman. Maybe we should get some more example modulated voices so we know for ourself.
There's only little overlap between purpose and method.
As someone working in the space (not Meta):

The overall goal is the exact opposite of what you're saying here. Just about every single person I've ever talked to in this industry wants to build devices to bring human beings together across space + time. Allowing folks to see each other eye to eye and form real human connections where otherwise it would be impossible. XR is probably the least isolating technology in history if you consider what it can do in terms of breaking down boundaries of time, distance, ability, and appearance. It is the most humanistic of any technology I've ever used in my life, in the way that it's explicitly designed to bridge human, emotional connections where none could exist before. Just one of many perspectives...
If it's a big maze where you can pass through, you can enter and exit in that time limit
I'm sorry but you're just missing the point. You're taking the term literally, but it is very simple in practical terms how this actually plays out:

diverse is code word for non straight White male. Slightly more diverse would be straight White female.

Obviously OP is simply saying, as a White man, he worries his children through no fault of their own by virtue of birth would be excluded or limited by these cultural trends.

Blame on their kid? What sense does this make? He's blaming the system.

So why are you celebrating someone who, bar melanin, had as much to do with that as the average Albanian?
Thinking again, I may have read too much into the foil thing. A better example would be a just a cut-out of Waldo, separate from everything else.

I'm sure it's a massive simplification of the way it's actually used.
Eh, I had the C++ standard library break on unstable a year ago. That's not really acceptable, I'd say unstable is a fair name.

There's a few system-breaking changes a year, e.g. gnuplot broke last month.
You think there should be more tax on non-alcoholic beer than beer with alcohol? Should be the other way round.
Pass-through VR headsets will never, ever meet the use cases I have in mind, like integrated virtual HUDs for pilots or machinery operators, or even construction workers on large building sites. Going blind due an equipment failure while operating tons of moving machinery is not a reasonable failure mode.

And speaking personally, I just don't want to be disconnected from the environment in which I am presently existing. Projected overlays on glasses could be useful, I'll grant, but not a vision-restricting, self-isolating VR headset.
It seems like a straw man to argue that leakage isn't the same as a compromise. Leakage of credentials sure has led to quite a few compromises.
Did we read the same article? From what i've read, the west contribute to at most 5% of that (i used to believe it was much more, something like 20%, aka around the same per capita).

I don't think the article blame the west at all, the opposite rather. It also says that the 5% figure is probably inflated, because traded plastics are likely to have more oversight and less likely to end in rivers. I think this article is perfectly balanced.

Also:

> Me in that rich country collect every bit of plastic to trashbin, sort it out just to read than my asian friends dumped it to river zero F's given. And it's my fault!

It's your government that permit companies who exploit local populations with little to no oversight (regulations are bad, oversight is bad). That's basically what "neocolonialism" is. I dislike the word and i think this is more related to capitalism than colonialism anyway, but that's the accepted definition.
Why Is Everything So Slow? Measuring, Optimising How Engineering Teams Deliver
Oh, I was thinking of a pen-and-paper maze, not a real life maze
As for the "unwritten" rules - we (Gen Z +/- a few years around that) can't read your mind. Either tell us what you want, or stop wasting our time by expecting us to guesstimate what people of your cohort may consider acceptable or not. We didn't grow up alongside you, how in the world would we know?

> Tasks like making small talk with a client or writing a professional email is a no-brainer for those who have been employed for years. But many in this youngest generation didn’t grow up doing those things, or have been out of practice during the pandemic.

Who could have suspected that 20-somethings don't have the business and soft skills of seasoned 40-somethings with years of industry experience.
That is a very project managery view of things. And in a simple system you might be right. In a complex system multiple different things can cause same looking problems.

Let's say you are not working on a "number box" (whatever that is) but a drone airplane. Your costumer reports that the drone become unresponsive and crashed.

You investigate and find that there is a buffer overflow which sometimes gets triggered in the navigation system which trashed the memory and lead to the loss of the drone. You develop a patch, and additional testing etc etc and you deploy the fix.

A year later a drone crashes again. You do the investigation and this time you find in the engine control there is an edge case which causes it to shut down the engine under rare circumstances.

Was the first fix not a fix? If I correctly interpret you it wasn't because the "drone becoming unresponsive and crashing" problem still persist. Obviously that is not a useful way to look at the work if you actually have to develop the fixes.

Obviously there was two different problems, and they both need fixing separately (often by different teams). Just because you are not aware of the second bug when you deploy the first fix doesn't make the first fix not a fix.

Of course you might say in this hypothetical the "problem was not the same" but you only know that after you have investigated. If there are no reasons to suspect the second bug, and during the testing of the first fix things appear to be working you have no way of knowing that.
This is interesting to me but I have a question on the definition of a fluid that is presented here. It says it is a medium that cannot resist any stress applied to it —- is that not what surface tension does? Anyone smarter than me got an explanation?

>notification offering a paid service

I think a "notification offering a paid service" could be pretty good definition of an ad, certainly no "pushing the definition" in that.
I started, like many others, around 2003, with an old Pentium 1 that my uncle was about to throw away.

I put it under my bed, I installed Slackware on it (it was still the time when it took about 11 floppy disks to get it installed), started playing with Apache+PHP, I used to run a quite popular software development forum on it, later expanded it with a wiki, links to my projects (Github wasn't around yet) and a small hack game.

Two decades later, I still run my own web server in my room. I wouldn't put big publicly-accessible websites on it (I don't want my bandwidth at home to drop because somebody is downloading a lot of images or videos), a couple of Linode instances do a better work handling that use case. But I do use it to run my personal blog, my Nextcloud instance, my mopidy-iris frontend for playing music in the house, my Jellyfin server to stream my media wherever I am, my Miniflux server to keep track of the RSS feeds and podcasts I follow, Ubooquity to keep a collection of my ebooks, and much more. It used to run on a RPi, now I've upgraded it to a mini pc with 8 GB of RAM and 10 TB of physical storage attached.

It does really feel like it's your own space, in your own house, accessible from anywhere, with no storage limits and with nobody who can show you a bill for the storage, bandwidth or CPU that you consumed.
How are you defining equity? Equity in the house?

If so your asset is going down and your mortgage payments are going up.

Equity is an asset with debt attached so if the debt is getting more expensive while the asset is declining in value, that isn't good.

This is good for people with lots of cash, as they don't need to borrow to buy, and they can now buy at a lower price. I would also say it's possibly good for people that can afford to take on the debt in the short term, as prices would be expected to rise, and interest rates fall in the long term.

I have a fixed rate mortgage so my asset is going down in value. But it depends whether o am going to be a net buyer or seller in the short term, whether this is good or bad. If I move up to a more expensive property then lower prices are good because that would tend to compress price differentials, but that would also work against me if I wanted to down size. So more generally we could say this is good for younger people who are generally net buyers of houses, and bad for older people who are generally net sellers.
Nasal version of the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid vaccine fails in U.K. trial
Yes. If you want to learn rust, then learn rust. It's a fun language. But kernel concepts are a different beast, and C is better suited for learning them.
The opposite has been my experience. I think the rolling nature of Arch has really ironed out the kinks in their release systems.
No, absolutely not. Although people colloquially refer to Ubuntu as Debian with a little stuff sprinkled on top, parts of the underlying architecture are fundamentally different.
Here's a video of someone giving it a go. (Doesn't even boot)

CO2 or Oxygen levels are normally never a problem, not even on mount Everest (where the air pressure is the problem). It's for sure not a solution but an interesting research field to remove toxic chemicals...for long duration spaceflight/bases ;)

> By comparison, an average human exhales 1kg co2 per day. So you need four of those tanks to offset a single passenger passing by.

Passing by takes less then 24 hours.
also all valve games are turning into money extraction machines

Apparently flat structure and bonuses tied to amount of money you bring, combined with apathy towards their software allowed some weasels to takeover and slowly destroy their (few) games in the name of short term gains.

And money is not even an issue for valve, its private company. It all looks like whole leadership doesnt give a fuck anymore, not even to pass on maintenance to 3rd party.
But they are? Under Settings, there is no "Apple Arcade" where I can decide whether to enable it or not. It's on top of all settings, and it pushes me to do it. It's an ad.
I’ve written a tutorial on building one of these that uses a checkbox.

Is this even comparable? I mean, for C you have a three-way comparison and for C++ there is only a two-way comparison.

If you run the code by yourself you end up that C (while calling the compare() less often than C++) needs more comparisons (i.e. more '<' and '==') kinda defeating the argument of costly comparisons:

N = 2**16:
qsort comparison calls 14.735568
qsort comparisons 22.103386
std::sort comparisons 19.294233
Absolutely, but it's GNOME's project to break.

GNOME has the unenviable position where everybody wants to use it —cite: we are— but we all still love to bitch about it. If it were so bad, we'd have jumped ship, or stayed with Mate or Cinnamon or whatever the 2.x branch was called.

I guess from our point of view, we feel a little like hostages and just because we don't like these changes, doesn't mean we want to migrate to another desktop; still, I cannot ignore that I'm paying nothing for the maintenance and development of this system and I'm not investing my time in its development or governance, so frankly who am I to say what should be what?
It's still unclear to me. Did you then feed the entire above blurb into GPT3 on a continuous basis to get the actual interview? To be more specific:

In: "Podcast.AI Great people, great interviews with our host Joe Rogan. Episode 1 - Steve Jobs Summary:"

Out: [the summary]

In: [all the above] + " Transcript: Joe: "

Out: the entire podcast?
It's doable when without root. In my case I simply run PiHole on a server and use it as the default DNS for my VPN. Install Wireguard on the phone, connect to the VPN, and there you go - all of your DNS requests now go through PiHole.
Why should there be any one, single thing? Maybe it's the aggregate of a million small factors which don't add up to any compact story. That's not a terribly exciting hypothesis, and I don't have any great answers for what to do about it, but it seems a lot more plausible than the epicycles required to explain how overrepresented people of color and Indian CEOs are compatible with a white-led racial hierarchy.
> I also see nothing to make this name make sense

Last time this was brought up it was just referencing the fact both "git" and "dolt" refer to variations of calling someone a dimwit.

It's like if you come across a project called "dunce" that is "git for X" or whatever tagline you imagine.

For context this discussion from 2 years ago probably might be worth reading[1]

I live in the UK (and am in my late 20s), and I know quite a few people who are seriously considering not having children of their own (or in other cases reducing the number that thy would otherwise have) on the basis of overpopulation.
latest version is probably 22.10
Frankly, this is the same as my story. Except the open platform in that case was Android - or at least it was the open platform when I started using it, 13 years ago.

After some point it started declining constantly, and I just had enough so I switched.
Ask HN: Is the Zig programming language dead?
I noticed that development of the Zig programming language has come to a complete stop since this summer:

https://imgur.com/M09Nkx9

Also half the things listed in the roadmap from 2018:

https://andrewkelley.me/post/full-time-zig.html

haven't been implemented yet.

And there haven't been financial reports for the Zig Software Foundation for the last 9 months:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14_ljFHGFXY5NhBhlfjgkO0RZHqeVv04fAmCxw3ZusYc

Does anyone know if the project has been abandoned?
I guess it depends on whether you think the respect is owed to the descendants or to the dead.
I recently learned about qwik thanks to fireship's 3 min video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2eF3YLiNhY

It summarizes quite well the capabilities of this framework. The landing didn't tell me much even after watching the video. I think it's promising spite of some angular slang leaking, looking at you `$`!

I'm considering Qwik for a personal project but I'm also waiting for nextjs conf to see if there's something interesting there, the positive of nextjs is that it works good enough and it's well established already.
My mail server admin interface tells me I need to update two packages:

1. Try Ubuntu Pro beta with a free personal subscription on up to 5 machines.

2. Learn more at https://ubuntu.com/pro

At least it didn't crash!

Displaying ads is one thing, breaking interfaces for something as important as package management doesn't look good.

You won’t have to start at the bottom again, given your experience. Sounds like you could get a decent job in data science, and I guess you know of engineering businesses where you could apply your knowledge.
> I'd have to start at the bottom again

If you have 10 years of weak coding experience and have managed to finish a PhD, you'd probably start at least at a mid level, not junior, and quickly get up from that.
I don't understand this. Don't you have blind peer review?

In my discipline, most journals even have double blind peer review. I thought that's the standard.
> Please, for the love of god, let open up anything on your site in a new tab.

Meanwhile, I've seen plenty of enterprise software and even banking sites, that:

* try to prevent you from having more than one tab open
* try to prevent you from having more than one session open

I get that sometimes server side state can throw a spanner into the works otherwise, when you can't write a proper stateless app/API, or write any kind of an app well enough either, but it's very annoying when you run into one of those systems.

More so, sometimes the explanation for this is "security", which just feels like the people behind the system design wanted to be lazy in regards to various lifecycles in the application. If I have my internet banking site open, pay for some goods in an e-commerce store in another tab through the banking integration and then refresh the banking site, me being signed out of it feels like a design flaw, not a "security" feature.

But oh well, you don't really get a say in these things, your bank is going to do whatever they feel like in regards to their UI/UX, as will those behind whatever piece of enterprise software that you have to use, or that you'll have to write in accordance with the requirements.

It's up there in regards to annoyance, much like ctrl clicking some element, just to discover that it doesn't let you open up new tabs, or maybe even right clicking something or trying to select text, just to realize that neither works and you have to copy whatever you need out of the source of the page.

I think HN's showdead is not a bad solution - let people choose if they want to see removed content.
Instead of ignoring it, I installed Privacy Redirect and set it to redirect all Wikipedia links to wikiless.org.

This also got rid of the annoying "preview" feature.
Replacing 3 monitors is a start.

The real dream of VR work IMO is app windows floating all around, more windowing system than virtual displays.
