Mobile is a tragedy with no cheerful endings.

You either get your privacy heavily violated, get yourself protected in a costly walled garden or get yourself stranded in a high maintenance, low guarantees software universe for a device that has ever increasing importance in daily life.
That's a meetings problem, not FB's problem. Well tbh , work from home can be lonely and this virtual meeting does make the meeting slighty more exciting, and considering that it has very good pass-through, it would work OK in teams as well

We’ve tried this line of reasoning ever since the plastic industry had pushed for recycling as a means of reusing plastic when they know it’ll never be economically feasible to do so.

So might as well try something new and fix excessive plastic waste at a different point in the lifecycle.
New research shows hydrogen-reduced iron has superior properties
Ironically, VR might help with this, because you can leave your VR avatar listening for you :)
But the problem is not in this part of the chain. The states then take their collected plastic waste and ship it away - and that's what we're reading about here in TFA.

Collecting the waste is not so hard - today you have automated sorting lines that can separate plastic waste from other waste and some people are saying it's actually better than separating the waste during collection because maintaining separate plastic waste/other waste disposal infrastructures comes out as more costly and less ecological (2 specialized trucks instead of 1 general, etc).

This whole problem is about what's done with the collected waste after it leaves the garbage bins at stores or elsewhere.
Are they maximizing the load by space or weight? Or do they actively try to get an optimized mix of both?

I would imagine glass bottles also take more space though, so still I guess there might be more traffic.
If they have to explain it maybe it wasn't a good idea in the first place? I hate these "didn't read the article and felt the need to comment anyway" just as much as the next person. But this is a presentation and they have to assume people may skip to the middle, or have sound muted, or whatever. I honestly don't care, but I'm 100% team "I will ask why there are no legs and it's not on me to do my research on this".
Especially the engineers. They will think twice about building unreliable or unintuitive systems if they then have to support actual customers using them.
I think the poster is referencing current events as paradoxical or hypocritical, not supporting them.
And what happens if the probe crashes on the planet with that much kinetic energy?
Is it established that the basin has less regulation then normal, as well? Or on par with Houston?

The HOSTING cost. Not the total cost to run it. That's a big difference.

The problem with SO is, that most people do not understand, why SO has been invented. The core SOs do not care about any individual persons and the specific problem, the persons might have. Instead SO is really selfish. They care only about their own agenda and this agenda is building a library. They are not interested in people. They are just interested in their own site. For SO most users are not people, who need help. Instead they are just supplier of "junk" content.
>What is it with this recent trend of people posting their projects before they've done any work whatsoever on them?

Because the opposite is a waste of time. If you build code, and it gets totally ignored, what was the point? Do you think the Time Cube^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^, ok... maybe he would have anyway... but if nobody is going to reward the effort, why waste it?

Besides... it's always been done this way

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Linus (torv...@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.
You are not alone. I have nothing but good interactions on SO.

The only subpar interactions I come across in the wild on SO are when the person asking the question has put zero effort on the table.

It would be helpful to see links to the interactions everyone is talking about.
.NET (on Windows only), by having C++/CLI, which currently is up to date to C++17, plus language extensions for .NET environment.
fail2ban could notice that.
The benefit of rmt over trash-cli is that rmt has almost the same set of arguments as the rm command, and it is easier to alias between rm and rmt than thrash-cli. Also, rmt is written in rust and, therefore, more easily installable because you have to move the binary to usr/local/bin than trash-cli; it is necessary to install a python interpreter.
I think it's important to set a good example.

You could start trying to be less nit-picky about other peoples answers. As long as there is a good answer on Stack Overflow that gets up-voted, accept that and just ignore the rest.

You could start being less pedantic about people making suggestions to avoid the problem entirely by using a different tool/library. Those answers might not be useful to you, but to someone else reading the SO overflow post they might.

You could try being less of an evangelist for "the one and only right way to answer a question" - and accept that different people have different discussion styles. Again - as long as you get the answer you wanted, allow those other answers to exist next to that.

As for the voting/karma behavior... when you ask the question, you get to accept the answer you like the most. It's in your hand to "reward" the kind of answer you like the most.
I was curious to give it a go but unusable on Gnome 42.5 (X11); the window lags so much that simply trying to drag to reposition it on the screen is impossible. Seems related an issue with Skiko and OpenGL reported here: https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/issues/494
« Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 »

Vol. 1 is not really ambient but is a masterpiece nonetheless.
Hah yes. 7 people on low-res webcams and one with a 4k Master Chief avatar.
In the past I participated occasionally in small to medium-sized (couple of hundred participants) specialized mailing lists, which were very professional. On one occasion there was a public mailinglist, and after showing some expertice, I was invited to the private one, which was excellent. But all that was more than a decade ago. Perhaps it is still worthwhile not looking for a large community, but for several small specialized ones?
It would be a real shame if this held technology back in a substantial way. VR offers a ton of opportunity for a more productive work environment. Infinite space to work in, an active working day instead of sitting in a chair, etc etc etc.

Imagine working at a customer service desk where instead of tickets in a tab you can have 3d stacks of them all across the room you're in. Or a control environment with knobs and bobs surrounding you like an old 1970s control panel, with none of the cost.

Imagine designing a web page, except your screen doesn't have an edge.

I think a big part of the skepticism here is that we have coded for 2d screens for so long that we don't even begin to realize the possibilities yet. I'm convinced that the future of most office is while wearing some sort of headset.

Not meetings though. Those will remain 2d. Corny half done avatars and badly recreated 3d rooms don't cut it.
Sure .. although you'll find it will have a (perhaps surprisingly) consistant distribution of energies and timings and here on earth will fluctuate by density of atmosphere above (height, humidity, tempreture) and relationship to earths magnetic flux lines with a partial coupling to solar output.

Airborne radiometric ground surveys run calibration flights at varying altitude to build an estimate of cosmic activity in order to subtract that from ground events originating from Uranium, Potassium, Thorium, Radon, etc.
90% of human communication is via body language. Unless I've missed something and Meta have managed to capture the nuances of body language and translate it to the avatars, then this tech is useless for "real" meetings.

Anything that could be an email, or a presentation, sure. But if you have to trust what other people in the room are saying, then this won't work.
Well, a car sitting in the Texas sun all day holds a lot of heat, and glass has low thermal conductivity, but is transparent to sunlight, which comes through and turns into heat and doesn't escape, ala greenhouse effect. Add high humidity, and sweat doesn't evaporate, causing more sweat. Also, trust me on this, AC has gotten a lot better in the last 30 years. But I guarantee you a non-negligible amount of Houston commuters still ordinarily shower for relief from heat and sticky sweat after getting home from work.

Sure, but what about when it's a little less clear, and the stakes lower?

"How do I increase the PHP memory limit? I'm getting a memory error when I foreach through lots of rows." is likely best answerable not by increasing the memory limit (and running into the same problem with a few more rows), but by chunking the rows to avoid the memory leak.

I don't see a downside to "there's probably a better way of doing this you should at least consider, here's why" as an answer to a question. SO permits multiple answers; someone'll likely be along shortly and give the php.ini answer, but it's not the best approach.
It's not. At least as far as I can tell, the different Jetbrains IDEs are more like configurations or flavors of the same underlying thing. You can do most things in most of their IDEs.

You should try paying for an IDE. VSCode is great but if you're an engineer getting paid anywhere close to a Silicon Valley wage (or you can expense devtools), you deserve better :)
IntelliJ Ultimate lets you install all of the different language toolkits into one IDE via plugins.

In the early days of Facebook there was a negative article about them in Harvard's student newspaper. Mark Zuckerberg looked for through the logs for login attempts from student journalists at the paper and used the passwords they entered to try to gain access to their email accounts.[0] I'd say that is significantly worse from a privacy perspective than using cookies to show you more relevant ads.

No, this is squarely within the normal definition of “ad.” Maybe you’ve just become too used to ads by being exposed to the modern web.
Maybe nothing would change but we would finally know.
Well, hey...can you not see the Ubuntu logo all over the place? That's advertising and you thought nothing about it.

What you're describing is a dramatic reduction in human freedom. Right now I have the freedom to use as much energy as I can afford and people like you don't get any say in how I use it. Why not focus on generating more energy efficiently than imposing controls on other people? This seems like more about having control over other people than an actual concern for the environment or energy usage.

Would you vote to ban video games?
Already saw it in Toolbox App and installed ;-) Gonna give it a try.

Congrats on the launch, and kudos to the Fleet team!
I lived through this a decade ago. What I saw was that the people who couldn't afford the price before the meltdown were the ones most affected by pay cuts and job losses.
Unfortunately they have to compete under the conditions of capitalism, which don't favour workers or enterprises that make worker happiness a priority, making long-term sustainability a huge challenge.
Easy solution: make your employer pay for it. IntelliJ tools increase my productivity where saved time easily goes into days, it's easily justified from a cost perspective to an employer.
CSS and HTML are both from the web but different things. It makes sense to use CSS to control the style (therefore it is named Style-Sheets) in toolkits like Gtk and Qt! While JavaScript is an interpreted language for the web but not for applications.

Yes. JavaScript can be used on the desktop, we name it usually Electron. It actually replaced Flash! It allows companies to copy their web-code to the desktop and relabeling it as application. This is cheap. The users suffer from slow applications, which require a network connection, which consume high amounts of resources (memory) and provide bad integration. This is expensive. Microsoft Teams tries currently to switch from Electron (which includes Chrome) to Chrome itself.

I'm rather happy with the GNOME-Shell. It comes with its own implementation of GJS which changes the situation. The GNOME-Shell itself suffered from memory leaks which are fixed for some years:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/64#note_...

I'm thankful for the authors description. Replacing language A by B or B by C doesn't improve the implementation. Every implementation requires a lot work and constant care. And the comment describes how they control memory usage rather well in C/C++ with ASAN (GCC or CLANG) and Valgrind, suffered from incompatibilities between GObject and JavaScript and memory leaks within JavaScript. The implementation with JS allows for immediate manipulations of GNOME-Shell through developers but I wonder if the would prefer a native language when doing it again. At least that would reduce complexity and remove the dependency on the interpreter.
After fighting with Ford over a recall issue for over a year, I opened a claim with the BBB. Two months later they closed it with a note that Ford explained that my car had been determined to be outside the claim (even though it experienced the recall related failure). Four months later, Ford issued be a check for the full cost of the repair, with an apology note. Even though at that point, I had given up.

I have to believe that the BBB claim had some effect on that. The BBB may have accepted Ford's word, and closed the claim, but it resulted in some messaging up the consumer complaint chain.
I don't think you've spent enough time learning about the technology or the goals of its proponents to argue against it. You're starting to veer off into strawman territory. Most VR proponents see two big use cases: immersive entertainment and augmented reality.

Immersive entertainment will demand 100% of your attention but you will want to give it 100% because there is no other way to have such a deep experience otherwise. Watching a movie or playing a game on a screen is fine but it doesn't give you the same visceral reactions that you have with even the simplest VR experiences like standing on a ledge 10 stories up or killing an NPC in melee combat. Both feel real and the second one can be quite disturbing the first time you do it even though the graphics are still low res. I've never experienced anything that even came close through a normal screen

Augmented reality will be unobtrusive and only demand part of your attention. It will be additive to the world around you and it will replace the phone in your pocket along with thousands of other things. This technology is still a long ways off but we're already building the bridge to it with mixed reality and high-res passthrough.
I guess give it enough time and it will happen

This speaks to discoverability issues more than it speaks to generational gaps.

As a really specific example: if people don't know that certain generations of Intel microprocessors calculated sine(epsilon close to 0) incorrectly, and ask about it, it really is incumbent on the answerers to not be a-holes.

Extrapolate out and consider various IRC channels. Python has massive documentation. A common answer is to point people to the docs, as they are large, and to encourage reading the docs. This is helpful and encourages discoverability. C, on the other hand, is an almost incomprehensible mess for discoverability. So a newbie asks a volunteer channel in IRC about what may be causing a segfault simply because the newbie has no sense of the tooling to help them discover the issue. Newbie gets berated (I have both experienced this and watched this happen). C channel is therefore toxic for newbies because it pushes them down arbitrarily, Python is good because lifting newbies up.

Common thread? Make it really, really easy to use tools, have copious amount of well-described examples organized in a sane way, and crosslink definitions and concepts.
Recently, we chatted about that at comp.misc at usenet.

Well I have to say that a lot of nitpicking happens on Hacker News as well. I don't usually mind it, and sometimes it does in fact add valuable information to the discussion, but I don't think you can really interact with any technical community over the internet without getting nit picked... :-)
Yeah, I had the same issue with the terraform plugins, I honestly had to delete them. So far I haven't found an alternative but honestly I don't write that much terraform anymore.
C# might be that language, now that .NET 7 will be bringing .NET Native into mainline .NET (Native AOT), or Swift on Apple platforms (RC is a GC algorithm).

But I still look forward to D having its place as well.
One of the authors here - confirming that "40 percent of organizations have at least one IAM user that has AWS Console access and does not have multi-factor authentication" is about IAM users and does not include the root user.
Do all scientists create with the goal of helping humanity tho? I get the impression that knowledge for the sake of knowledge can be common too and that the practical applications can be a convenient, but unintended side-effect.
I thought "any" would be understood to be rhetorical exaggeration; my apologies. My actual position I've posited is an org loses support of the hacker community when it becomes successful even if nothing about what it's doing fundamentally changes. If their ads are different now, it's because they refined their approach; the goal was always to get people to give them money to be used as they saw fit.
Indeed, and some of the plastic bottles are actually really thick and heavy and are reused, e.g. the Adelholzener ones, which they claim they reuse up to 15x: https://www.adelholzener.de/nachhaltigkeit-und-werte/zukunft...
Thanks, looking forward to diving into this.

I've been thinking about this a lot, after doing a lot of reading on anarchic theory this summer and my comment from yesterday saying that the Linux kernel is great because there's a benevolent "dictator" at the top, and the Linux desktop sucks because there is none: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33163760 and below

Anarchism doesn't have to mean flat structure. It's my opinion that you can have a perfectly anarchic software organisation with a leader. Linux is anarchic. You're free to leave whenever you want. There is no coercion. But if you stay, you obey the rules of the head honcho, Mr. Torvalds himself. Linux is more anarchic than Valve, which funnily enough its famous flat structure was discussed in a repost today.

To me anarchy means no coercion. Anarchy does not have to mean disorganised. In fact, with no visionary at the top, the result is often mediocre.

Sorry, I don't have much on topic to contribute, just that I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and this post is serendipitous.
hot take: I suspect a similar effect goes on in staffing police departments. I still believe that a majority of police officers (especially the one that don't make the news or go viral) are good cops who have secure egos and really want to uphold the law, but a fraction of officers really are motivated by cracking skulls and ego tripping (i.e. those things actually feel good to them, and are a significant part of why they are taking the job). The reason why these behaviors haven't been ruthlessly stamped out is because if it were completely not tolerated, then departments would have significant shortages, so there's an implicit "perk" of being able to ego trip and push people around and exert dominance (of course, up to a limit) which is a necessary cost of hiring.
This sounds like a great opportunity for a SaaS. The product lets you write a question and one or more wrong answers or nitpicks, then posts the answers from random accounts after some random delay.
The problem is that the XY Problem is a classic beginner mistake and most SO questions are beginners who didn’t even consider Y, so maybe 1% of the time it doesn’t apply. And to those people, it is helpful to explain why you are stuck with X as it will likely clarify context that will help people answer your question.

Even if you agree with the spirit of these grants, I'm sure this is not what people thought they were funding when they donated to Wikipedia:

Edit: consider spending on the above vs. hiring more people to translate some of the 6.5 million English articles to other languages that typically number only ~1.5 million or so.
Maybe they didn’t require ID, but for the first year(s) they did require a valid college, and then business domain in your email at sign up so it was really anon as you’re making it out to be.
I officially have a copy of pycharm and not webstorm. I use it to maintain both a python repo and a typescript repo. You can install language support for almost every official jetbrains language into basically any jetbrains editor. The only differences I have found are the default plug-ins and the app icon.
You do realize putting democracy in front of something doesn't make it OK or even a good idea right?
I'm going to disagree with you on "it's not difficult". I've been using AWS for fifteen years (since S3 came out) and I don't know how to configure any of the things you list there - at least not without doing deep research into every single one of them.

Not saying they're impossible, but they are definitely difficult to figure out!
