The only way I've been able to get good virtualized 2D performance without providing a GPU directly to the VM has been to use a display manager where you can disable compositing. Otherwise, you end up having to use a software 3D rasterizer like LLVMpipe, which can be quite slow.

The native display managers for XFCE, MATE, and (I believe) KDE allow you to disable compositing. GNOME and Unity's native display managers don't (AFAIK). I have no idea if display compositing can be disabled on macOS.
As does MiKTeX, which I use. (And it’s all available online in any case.) The problem, as I see it, is more with the documentation of LaTeX and TeX itself: there are a few non-official tutorials and guides, but very little material providing a comprehensive manual of the language and how it works.
They could of course fix it downstream any number of ways, many more straightforward than adding a layer of indirection to keep monkey patching the built-ins. But that wouldn’t fix sites still running the older code.
There's more than a great deal of evidence and different rhythms to the contrary for your blanket statement to be in any way certain. Many people live long, very productive and healthy lives not being diurnal to great effect, even if most are diurnal.
Although, praise might be due to Theremin for his work on RF triggered devices. That was the prior art, which had to be taken on board without requiring everyone to carry a great seal of the united states around with them. (admittedly it was an analogue device, not digital, but same-same)

That just clearly isn't how it would work.

If I'm at the break-even point on taxes then the government will be sending me $833/mo checks to my bank account while my work will be withholding $833/mo extra from my paycheck. That has no real effect on my spending habits and won't drive any inflation.

Even if it was an annual lump sum with no additional withholding, where does the money to pay the taxes at the end of the year come from? You'd take next years UBI to pay off last years taxes and from then on it is net zero extra spending.

Still a bit sad that Microsoft went the hypervisor way with WSL2, rather than the Windows Subsystem way in WSL1. It makes perfect sense that they did, but I'm still a bit sad.

>Your model is simplistic. No sane electrical engineer would build a system where EVs charge on a uniform schedule evenly distributed across all 24 hours.

Unbelievable.

Your comments are pointless, insulting. Now you are calling me insane.

My findings were confirmed by none other than Elon Musk --who I had the pleasure of working with for two years, BTW--. Here he is, confirming what I have stated when asked the question during a conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcI6FaaDp8g&t=3510s

Regarding my simplistic model:

I went out of my way to point out that this model was "super simplified" and an "oversimplified illustration". We use oversimplified examples to illustrate points, not to provide precise models of reality.

I further explained that creating a proper model "requires writing a reasonably detailed simulation with hundreds of variables"

And then I said "which is what I did years ago in order to try and understand the relationship between EV's, power and energy."

Please. Pretty please. With sugar on top. Stop insulting people with zero-effort, zero-knowledge comments. Instead, try asking questions, engaging in constructive dialog and, perhaps, learning a thing or two.

You are arguing against conclusions that were confirmed by Elon Musk. Not sure what else to say other than, you might want to reflect on just how little of this topic might actually understand.

This is why we go nowhere with this and other issues.

On top of that you post nonsense links. What do you think you are going to accomplish, other than confirming you truly have no understanding of the problem?

We have a 1200 GW deficit in power generation and distribution. No amount of intelligent management is going to make up for this. Not one bit. Not enough. Not even close. This isn't a rounding error, this is a serious hole in future power capacity; a precondition for EV deployment

That's what you need to grok before continuing to post comments anyone with a reasonable command of the subject would easily classify as noise.
I have trouble believing that an OS, especially a graphical one, can be effectively developed/tested without having some GUI apps developed in parallel. Eat your own dog food and all.
IMO Firefox with a few extensions is much better than brave for the first.
Oh man, I wish I had links to some article about how much effort some MS engineer went to to get old versions of things like Quicken working. It was a good read, you'd like it, if someone else knows the one and can link.
Ive tried both. I hate a big city but also hate a small town. I've found a good middle ground of a town of 50k or so gets you good food and things to do but also you're still in, or close to nature.
My guess is that they don't do that because that would change behavior for developers that are intentionally overriding existing methods-- like one might do if monkey-patching a method to work around a bug, or polyfill newer functionality, or add instrumentation.

Basically, anything they could do here is a behavior change for someone. So, if they insist on not breaking things for anyone, the only option they have available (short of moving towards Windows-style app-specific compatibility workarounds) is to not change anything here, and just use a different name for the new method.
>Anyone here did the same? Do you miss MeetUps, conferences or many like-minded people? If so, how do you make up for it?

You could say the same thing about sideloading apps and running web-browsers-that-aren't-Safari; both of those are "solved" on the Mac side, but I would bet that unless the EU forces them, Apple will never allow either of those things on iOS.
Yes but also do note that WebKit is probably among the most NIH codebase on the platform.

I did not say that. Microsoft is though (which was part of our previous conversation) and Apple as a company is a duopoly in smartphones and I expect them to aspire to using the same strategy in other domains.
The oldest example I can think of is Perl.
iirc there have been protests by google's employees against working with military, but the company as a whole seemed to be trying their best to ignore it

was there ever a company pledge?
Part of why this doesn't happen is because if someone were to hack Google and they got caught, Google will simply disable all their services for that person.
Google just posted a 5 part documentary series on IT security within Google and covers their response to operation Aurora. It’s pretty light on technical details but is a fairly entertaining watch.
Yes, some "blanc de blancs", including some champagnes. It adds tannins, which are usually added by aging in oak instead.

I don't know why the article would say it never happens, but it's not usual.
With the amount of restrictions, custom add-ins and specific workflows, it wouldn't matter that much since it's not even inter-office-compatible. Documents that need to be shared externally are generally converted and exchanged via a portal that does the actual release afterwards. For most documents that don't allow editing and only do form-filling after the fact they seem to prefer PDF over everything else.

I suppose the online variants of everything (with PWA support that is) all have the same benefit: easier to stream incremental changes to all users, and easier to centrally manage workflows and access control. Because nothing needs to be re-evaluated locally, you are only left with on-line verification and CAC verification/signatures.
> I know I shouldn't type this but isn't it weird that Google remains the last tech giant that hasn't had a major breach.

> nothing like those million record breaches that EVERYONE is afflicted by.

Why do you think that? Google has had several major breaches.

There was a google+ bug that exposed info on 52.5 million users, one on 500,000 users' data, and other disclosures. There have also been corrupted apps on the play store, like Brain Test that infected at least a million devices with difficult to remove malware. A decade ago there were about 5 million Google passwords leaked online.

That's just what I can recall atm.

HN also lets you elide branches with a click, so you're not trapped in a section you're not interested in. It's so nice opening a 400 response thread, getting 10 messages into the top comment, and clicking the hide button and watching 200 messages vanish.
this article didn't seem to have anything about "race" in it except for a little box at the bottom. DEI is very important for basically any organization that doesn't want to be known as a bunch of exclusionary jerks. "Race", even though it's a only a social construct with no link to science in any way, is a big deal
because people were enslaved for 300 years based on "race". After the Civil War, "race" was still used as an explicit or implicit basis for the next 100+ years to deny rights which continues to this day. So it's been a pretty long, big deal for a huge number of people who have been systematically denied equal status in society for centuries, it's pretty hard for any new endeavor to be equitable without taking an extremely long and hard look at how the endeavor interacts with this massive legacy that US society is only just beginning to attempt to extricate from. For sure it's exhausting. Think how exhausting it must be to be part of a group that's been systematically oppressed and terrorized for hundreds of years. You can choose not to give a shit because it's too "exhausting" to care, but that's not how food coops roll.
Whilst the underlying case is true, I feel what is missing is where scientism has been beneficial net overall. Arguably, vaccination is a good case: the statistics of benefit are huge. the personal experiental outcome tends to negative feedback only: So, underling belief in the statistics of decent testing is important and has a community upside.

Or, the truly remarkable advances in materials physics especially in VLSI. actual applications of quantum effects initially misunderstood but actually now designed in (sometimes?)
These are all good points ... but, it's hard for me to totally accept what I perceive to be the premise.

Let's imagine perfect VR (the Matrix). Would it be better to play Mahjong, Poker, Blackjack, Chess, pick your favorite board game, with real pieces setting at a real table or at a computer terminal moving pieces with your mouse? I get each person might have a different answer to that.

What I like about "immersion" when done right is I just do the thing I already know how to do. Pick up the ball, cards, dice. I don't have to fiddle with one 18 buttons on the 2 controllers (up, down, left, right, press, A, B, upper trigger, lower trigger) x (left hand, right hand) .... actually 20 buttons if you include the "system" buttons on each controller.

This is one thing I hated about No Man's Sky in VR. I enjoyed it over all and never played non-VR No Man's Sky, but, while flying and aiming the gun/probe is VR, all the inventory management is 18 button based and even 25hrs in I'd be pressing the wrong button on each menu option.

Now of course, VR isn't good enough yet to do this "immersion" so often, picking up the cards, ball, etc, is just to damn fiddley. Maybe I have to put my hand 10cm past where my brain believes the object is. I've had that very frustrating experience where I can't reach the thing in VR because it's below the physical floor in my room or behind the wall/sofa/desk, so there's a lot to be fixed.

And, also, of course maybe someone will figure out better interfaces without the constraints of the physical world. For example I'm a little sad when someone makes a piano in VR given that you could invent a new instrument with a sphere of controls around you.

But, every time I play a VR game that makes me memorize which of 18 buttons to press I want to scream.
Could be true, hard to say.

In political jargon, a self-licking ice cream cone is a self-perpetuating system that has no purpose other than to sustain itself. The phrase appeared to have been first used in 1991–1992, in a book about Gulf War weapons systems by Norman Friedman, and On Self-Licking Ice Cream Cones, a paper by Pete Worden about NASA's bureaucracy, to describe the relationship between the Space Shuttle and Space Station.

This reminds me of being in the Melbourne Star Ferris wheel in Australia. There's a narration about the history of Melbourne while you're in it that early on says "there was nothing here before this city was built" and then later has you imagine Aboriginal campfires in the area. Who were of course there first, and I very vaguely recall had built irrigation and farming.

(Also, it was built so one of the easiest things to see from it was the cafeteria of the Costco next door.)
What you described sounds much better than one of the default alternatives, which is : the business would be closed with 0 locations.
Nope. It's not a technical issue.

Apple will never open up the ipad because that's not what it's for. It's for media consumption and running paid apps via the app store.

Apple has no use for an ipad that is open - the pure purpose for that device is to buy/download/install apps and media via itunes/music app, app store, and partner applications (locked down so all purchases must go through the apple app store)

If you want an ipad that is open, buy a macbook air.
Refreshingly simple. I'm so tired of JS bloat.
They probably read a lot, too. But I think you're missing the point, because what they may lack in melee experience and exquisite jambiaya skill they more than make up for in guile and fury, especially when scorned, and all women in Saudi Arabia effectively live their entire lives in a state of being scorned. Saudi Arabia is basically a ticking time bomb.

The Russians will only see more of this as Putin cranks down on the thumbscrews. Any freedom they gained since the 90s collapse will all be gone in a few years. He has become the hermit dictator and will do anything to shut down threats to himself and his inner circle, the future of russia and her citizens prosperity means absolutely nothing to him. Ukraine is a macho ego project and has nothing to do with the prosperity of the country, it's just a distraction.
Musks texts: Twitter employees do at least 100 LOC a month
Looking through these text messages, if you take a look at the final one Elon texts about the informed productivity of twitter engineers. I'm wondering if Elon Musk is misinformed or what's going on; I'm thinking he is referring to lines that actually go into production or something of that nature which I imagine would go through intensive review and so on?

Because 100 lines of code a month, not to mention that LoC is a poor metric of performance anyway, still seems like very little work.

What do you guys think? Is this an accurate measure for twitter engineer's productivity?
it's infuriating knowing that my ipad is faster than my mac as one of the gpu cores is binned on my mac and yet ill never be able to use the ipad's extra performance, with the locked bootloader it's essentially doomed to become ewaste when apple stops supporting it and the app store stops working as older ios versions are almost completely unsupported by almost all apps, meanwhile when my m1 air stops getting updates i can just switch to something like asahi :/
Rust book for non-native English speakers
I'm saying this as someone who does not care about Windows (or Microsoft) at all, and hasn't been using Windows besides maybe in a vm once a year for at least a decade now:

To say they have done "just enough always and only enough" is massively underselling it to a level where it's basically wrong.

Everyone who has been following Raymond Chen's The Old New Thing blog for some time knows the massive, quite impressive, and at times even "unreasonable" seeming work to keep things compatible. Especially, but not exclusively, in the Windows 95 days. Quite possibly that has changed in the last few years or even decade (I wouldn't know), but at least the claim that they never put a huge amount of work into compatibility is just not true.

Here is just one of many articles that outlines some insanity that Windows did for compatibility, stuff where other OSes (including Linux, at least outside of the kernel) would have rightfully said that this software needs to be fixed instead:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20160404-00/?p=93... - I found this one randomly after a cursory search, there were other articles that may prove the point even more.

Raymond Chen did also state that the more things shifted to be "online", the more reasonable it became to let vendors fix issues with patches (often with MS's guidance) instead of doing insane tricks in the OS, but still: Credit where credit is due.
Flash was never a web standard, there weren't enough independent implementations, it was proprietary only, and it had mountains of security issues. I agree with trying to not break the web, but the death of Flash on the web was great, and the only tragedy is that there's still not a great, reasonable FOSS solution for running arbitrary swf files offline.
That post wasn't meant in that way. I'm a supporter of decentralization, a strong local government and a weak federal government (city/county > state > federal), but I wanted to demonstrate how difficult it is to compare different countries. Which was evidently worthy of a downvote :shrug:.

I am about move myself to just 15 min outside SF after always living like 1-2 hours from a major metropolitan area. I'm 31, so I definitely feel a lot of FOMO because I spent my 20s living in stagnant places.

While the places I lived were nice, they were super boring and I felt so complacent. Not many people had any aspirations, it was so hard to find people to talk ideas with or hack on stuff. Colleagues were cool, but weren't really that into doing anything extra.

I'm looking forward to living in the bay area, especially so close to SF. From my few visits there thus far all I see are tons of office spaces with familiar company names, every cafe is busy with people on their laptops and some are coding, loads of meetups. I hope I can "launch" my career again being over here.

Every day once I close my work laptop, I do some me things and then get back on my personal laptop later to learn something new and build out some weird app idea. A few days ago I was curious about XMPP and comparing it to other protocols like Matrix, and managed to set up and deploy ejabberd, and then connected to it from a flutter app. For me it was a fun experience, figuring out the configuration options, setting up my debian box and nginx configs.. I wish I had a friend or few with whom I could just talk tech and stuff that interests me, and in turn be there for them.

That is my goal - find some good friends and either build something together or work at an early small startup.

If you're in SF and want to be friends, hit me up! My email is in my profile.

So glad to see this. Military IT has been atrocious. I viewed the Navy Marine Corp Internet (NMCI) as damn near treasonous levels of awful when I got out a decade ago and assumed little improvement with the way contracts are done and the entrenched vendors. Happy to see Google win this not just because I prefer the solution now to MS, but that some change is happening. I still can’t believe we spent $7T on the global war on terror and no one is asking questions.
> If you're often getting feedback that you 'need to get them both done by Friday.'

My response is always that I’ll try, and we’ll see which one ends up half-finished on Friday. This either gets them to pick one, or assume everything will be fine until Friday, when it blows up in their faces.

I don’t think I’ve ever had someone (even the manager) blame it on me for some reason.
