Investment properties that I'm renting out. I've been at my current employer for a while so it's my best bet to weather a big downturn. However, I'm also looking into doing some freelance work on the side to pad my earnings. Money unfortunately makes everything easier, and the more you have of it, the more options you have.

I really wish I could move to a more secluded area and country with a large amount of open space that one can disappear into if need be. But with children, family, and commitments it's not an easy option.

Every single day it will either rain or it won't. Sometimes you will take an umbrella. Based on what you consider the X of rain. That action of yours will be - you hope - non-causally correlated with reality in the sense that if you take the umbrella very many times, you would end up using it often enough to make it worth it.

X is what people call 'probability'. How do you call it? [Thor's will?] Have you noticed any correlation between you taking the umbrella and rain later in the day?

Inside Mozilla too. Some execs thought Firefox OS would never be competitive because Google could always make a cheaper Android phone that still supported the whole Android ecosystem. Others wanted to move desktop Firefox to maintenance mode and bet everything on Firefox OS.
It sounds like a bug in zoom, if anything. It does work with web tech (e.g. using it from discord in a browser), so the problem is entirely with zoom bundling an older/not built with the necessary flags browser.

If there, at some point, is a wireless capable VR/AR headset that can replace a ~32" 1440p monitor I'll be the first in line to buy one if it's priced under 1k. Maybe even under 2k.

Good math.

Another way to ballpark this - the airport tank holds 500 liters of spirulina. Algae extract around 0.5kg co2 per 1000 liters ( https://mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/sustainability/sustainabil... ).

So this tank removes around 0.25kg of co2 per day.

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

This does virtually nothing for the air freshness, and is possibly not even carbon negative if you were to count emissions from the device cleanup and algae storage.

Green washing at it’s finest.
That’s called “stereotype threat”, and it’s been caught up in the replication crisis. In short, the effect is hard to reproduce and tends to be small. It’s been known for some time now, here’s an article from 2015: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble-rouser/201512...

What if the headset just projects a display into your view and you can set where it is in relation to the real world AR-style?

Then you just pop your displayless laptop down on the café table and start typing away like you would with a normal laptop, except you're the only one who can see your screen.

Yes, it does so in our company. The etcd is somehow heavyweight to be the configuration center. And event more, the postgresql could be deployed in de-centralized cluster just like what etcd does, via some tools (e.g. raft-based failover agents) and configurations (I helped my customers to achieve this goal, but the solution is not open source yet).

Tried to install LunarVim a few months back and it stubbornly refused to install because I had to manually install some dependencies, and then it had issues with the versions of those dependencies. It didn't even have a brew package.

Life is too short to waste working around these issues, when there is already vscode, why should one go about wasting hours to weeks of time working around these tools which don't even give a full experience.

In some cases, like this this tool in current discussion 'Lite' aren't even actively maintained(a.k.a abandonware).

> "It’s just that it’s Facebook providing the hardware that scares me."

This is the key part. VR somehow skipped right into "walled garden" and "platfrom" territory right off the bat. It's not just hardware that is interchangeable and multi-use with pluggable things and apps. I think a lot of the people weary of Facebook's VR headset would be put at ease to a large degree if this was an 100% open ecosystem where just one of Facebook's entities is providing the hardware.
That sanitized corporate dystopia wants to have the same restrictions, scarcity and limitations as real life.

The theory: you could let you explore limitless worlds only bound by your imagination and current compute power.

This is great news, Meta is targeting and testing demand from the enterprise (instead of consumer) market. As they get some steam, Apple will come in, learn from their mistakes, and innovate to capture and dominate later.

It has done this with Fitbit > Apple watch, now they will repeat with VR/AR, EVs, and hopefully cloud gaming (once it matures technically) - they are master strategists and innovators.
Isn't everyone doing that though? With Apple stepping into the Ads business, it is almost clear that they will eventually wipe out any third party competition, especially facebook from their platform. Facebook has realised that it desperately needs a hardware channel to survive in the cut-throat competitive field the tech industry has become, and VR is that channel.
In this specific example, is the visual theme of the page even relevant to a screenreader user at all?
The worst moment for me was after working by myself in VR logging in to a shared workspace and having a dude, muted, sat on the couch next to me. It loaded me in unmuted by default and I was talking to myself about what was happening.

It wasn’t at all clear that he was muted and I was unmuted and his hands were moving disconcertingly near where his body should have been. I started describing him to someone irl and his weird avatar head turns slowly toward me, hands still pulsating.

I said something like “uh shit I think he can hear me…?” and his floating weird head glitchily nodded, fingers creeping across his torso the whole time.

I logged out. That was it. So many things wrong I’m not sure I could find any reason why I’d try that again.

Yeah, no. Most actual experts very much prefer systemd due to it actually solving the problems inherent in booting up a system with all the services, and resolving the dependencies between them, instead of just being hacky bash scripts that only work on a single machine (if at all).

The only people who have problem with systemd is “old-timers” that just refuse to learn anything new, and just blindly believe that the old status quo was better.
On the other hand, the sad reality is that even when you have a plethora of string types to accommodate with reality like Rust, people will just not care out of convenience. See how Rust build scripts communicate paths to cargo via stdout, and how most of them just use Path::display (or something similar or worse) to do that, which is lossy. Rustc itself doesn't handle paths correctly either. IIRC, all in all, it's basically impossible to compile Rust code from a non-UTF-8 path.
Ok, so probability doesn't exist at all for you [1] and the deck of cards discussion is just a red herring.

If your argument is that probability can't exist because if can't have a causal effect on reality maybe you should try to define and use probability as it's usually done - with the understanding that 'having a causal effect on reality' has nothing to do with it.

Probability can be used to say things about reality. 'Things' like 'what we know or expect'. Probability is about uncertainty. Statistical mechanics will say things like 'the average energy in that system is whatever' - this is something about reality. Particle physics will say 'the half-life of that muon is whatever'. That's physics as far as my defition of physics goes.

Can physics - in your view - explain that if you put together a glass of hot water and a glass of cold ethanol you end up with a warm mixture of water and ethanol? That "causality" only exists in a probabilistic sense after all...

> But the crypto sector doesn't want exchange regulation, so they don't have the "circuit breakers" that, say, the CBOE does.

If this platform doesn't have circuit breakers, it's simply because either they didn't think of it, they didn't think it was important, or they thought it was a bad idea.

There's nothing in crypto that clashes with the idea of a circuit breaker, it's completely orthogonal. And it shouldn't be too hard to code into the smart contract.

By the way I believe only some stock exchanges in the world have circuit breakers, it's not something as universal or required as you make it seem.

Sure you do. You use the Link component (or similar) that’s provided by the SPA router, which renders a normal <a href="cool-page"> tag that works fine with middle-clicking, command-clicking, and right-clicking. The only difference is that it overrides the click event to perform a client-side navigation on normal clicks. You have to go out of your way to make this not work, or I suppose you could implement your own SPA framework and not understand how any of this works.
Looking at that picture, I'm not seeing anything demonic or disturbing in it. This view is often seen by people under influence of drugs or alcohol, if they ever manage to remember details, and this gives a plausible explanation: the author was high that time, and must've confused his otherwise banal vision with something important.
Relationships between components and the app state are serialised along with the html. A small (~1kb) library is used to lazy load javascript as the user starts interacting. The key is that it's immediately usable, you don't require a client side re-render before any of the buttons work, for example. This means you can get great PageSpeed scores really easily and the apps feel super responsive.

I have no affiliation with Qwik, but I did try it out on a small project yesterday to see how it works. I'm really impressed so far.

Just have to tune it out. Anywho, I totally agree that whatever happens with the metaverse doesn’t make their R&D any less valuable—-motion handling, their work into optics, neuronal signal decoding and a bunch of other multidisciplinary areas of research they’re reaching into. It’s really cool to see some of the things out of Meta AI/Reality Labs, and I hope they continue keeping things open.

Things might have improved since I was last managing Cisco gear. try/commit wasn’t available back then and maybe those stupid commands (like “administrator-full-port-shutdown”) have been since removed to prevent ambiguous shortenings. But I did quickly learn that it’s better to be explicit rather than implicit. And frankly, I still think that’s good advice given the IaC methodologies that are now commonly practiced. If nothing else, you should be writing your config so that others can read it, and storing that config in version control.

The European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly faced the question of gay marriage and has denied the find such a right each time. One of the more recent cases is Chapin and Charpentier v. France, 2016:

> In Chapin and Charpentier v. France, 2016, the Court reiterated that neither Article 12, nor Article 14 in conjunction with Article 8, which was more general in purpose and scope, could be interpreted as imposing an obligation on the Contracting States to open marriage to same sex couples.

https://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/Guide_Art_12_ENG.pdf (see also https://eclj.org/marriage/the-echr-unanimously-confirms-the-...)

I don't know much about European law but it seems one of the principal reasons is that Articles 8 and 12 specifically speak to marriage and are worded in a manner (in the court's opinion) which presume heterosexual marriages, effectively circumscribing the scope of potential Article 14 anti-discrimination protections wrt marriage.
Ask HN: Looking for co-developers for 2 open source ideas in EdTech
Hey Everyone!

I have two open source project ideas in the domain of education technology. We can bounce ideas across and flesh out the details further once we meet. I will describe the ideas in a sentence below:

0. A distributed ledger based platform to bring all the stakeholders (students, parents, education institutions, government and businesses) together to fund education using equity(income share) instead of debt(loan).

1. A platform for crowd-sourced multi-lingual dictionaries and translators with an local and global "anchoring" language.

Oh please, do yourself a favor and perform a very simple litmus test. Ask how many men are willing to date homeless women and vice versa.

What's fascinating is how people are trying to avoid talking about the obvious motivator for men not present in women, and how the slow death of that motivator is affecting things.

> LOOP is not extensible

The standardized LOOP is not extensible. Each LOOP implementation is extensible. A common extension is to provide new loop iteration paths.

LispWorks:

CL-USER 7 > (lispworks:defloop (s-element s-elements) elt length sequence t)
(S-ELEMENT S-ELEMENTS)

Now we can iterate over sequences in a not performance optimized version:

CL-USER 8 > (loop for e being each s-element of "hello-world" count e)
11

CL-USER 9 > (loop for e being each s-element of '(hello world) count e)
2

There are portable extensible LOOP implementations. This is then just as non-standard as any self-defined iteration library.

https://research.gold.ac.uk/id/eprint/2344/1/sequences-20070... gives an example to extend SBCL's LOOP (which is based on the MIT LOOP implementation).

There are lots of things in the Common Lisp standard, which are not extensible, but where implementations and libraries provide extensible versions. Example: the CLOS MOP, sequences, hash tables, ...
I would like to know this too
