It's still baffling that the Threadripper 1950X isn't supported by Windows 11, not just because it's still a fast, modern CPU that supports all the newer Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 requirements, but because it's also identical in every important way to the supported 2950X. I'd really be interested in the specific technical reason the TR1950X is out.

Wait, you need a bilge pump to maintain stability? Please don't tell me that this is 100% dependent on sensors and software controlling a highly complex underwater system. In a seawater environment.

Russia is incapable of conducting proper military operations, its why they rely on their 20th century terror tactics. They haven't learnt that these tactics don't work all the time and can at times just embolden the populace against the enemy.

One of the most devastating attacks against cryptography ("crypto") are timing side channel attacks. If the attacker can learn how much time a given crypto routine takes for differing inputs in a system being attacked, they can often pry to locked crypto box wide open and access the protected data inside.

I think that what they're saying is that Windows 11 would be like Windows 8 or Windows Vista - short-term and forgotten - and there would be Windows 12 that would be reasonably better than Windows 11. Heck, most devs that still support Windows 7 doesn't actively test against Windows 8(.1), so I wouldn't be shocked if Windows 12 exists in 2025 Windows 11 would be treated the same way.
Airbnb didn't even have a demo, they got funding basically on just an idea. I wanted to at least provide a demo of what it could be, its just v0,1. It is still very early days.
> the styling used for comments (which is normally de-emphasised)

And that’s wrong. Syntax highlighting should be emphasising comments, not making them almost invisible. But some colour schemes do get it foolishly wrong, and the only reason I can think this might happen is because their authors write the wrong sorts of comments, comments that largely shouldn’t be written. But proper comments are at least as important as the code.

As for “normally”, that doesn’t match my observations. I’d say the significant majority are just different without obviously increasing or decreasing notice—though this is often inherently mild emphasis. Very few clearly increase it, and they’re mostly more conservative schemes that are less frivolous about changing colours.
You think someone shouldn't use the word "cheapest" because they aren't factoring in piracy? Do you think stores that price match should sell an item for $0 if someone shows they can shoplift it?

I've heard of that as well. There's a UK TV programme called The A Word about boy with autism, and in one episode his mother believes that he's suddenly developed a "normal" theory of mind, only to find out that it may be linked to his being ill.

Although I don't have a diagnosis myself I do struggle with executive functioning and much of my anxiety is tied into that. Being ill definitely relieves this because there are no expectations on me to get things done to a schedule.
It's most certainly a miss. People have this weird perception due to all the modern propoganda with the tomahawk missile and such that military equipment is now 100% accurate and reliable. In reality these are still physical objects that are subject to mechanical failure/enemy action/entropy/whatever and the average failure rate is still such that you have to send a volley of 3 or 4 guided missiles downrange to absolutely guarantee a kill.

I was being nice. Building up enough evidence to legitimately fire them is also a part of the "managing out" process.
Because it is the most notorious case? I don't think anyone who has listened to George W talk could make the argument "Yeah, this guy is an shining example of Yale!"

You misinterpret my statement "whatever they want" as some sort of collegiate equivalent of a "license to kill". Presently, Yale chooses to engage with federal funding in a variety of ways. They can stop doing that if they want to, thus dropping their obligations.

But furthermore, realize that a student would need to prove that legacy admissions somehow violates Title IX if they wanted to end the process. The members of the various courts that would ultimately decide that case are the same families that benefit from legacy admissions.

Also it's really weird to bring up Alexander v. Yale. If you actually read into the decision most of the plaintiffs allegations were simply dismissed.

On computers, with a real keyboard, I prefer blank keycaps. I don't mind a qwerty layout, I just set it to dvorak in software.

I've been using dvorak for 10+ years now and have always used it on my (Android) phone as input method too. In my experience it's not a positive nor a negative to use dvorak on a mobile phone. My brain is so used to dvorak now that I just keep it on dvorak.
It’s funny, my hobby now is printing ‘three sided cards’ that have a photo or art reproduction on one side, a back with a QR code and some discussion of the subject, and an associated web page.

I write the back sizes in YAML and it takes just a second or so to make a PNG of the back side which gets printed. So far I have manually triggered the PNG build but I am doing more work that involves positioning things in the back and I’m considering both making the process more interactive (less work to trigger build and tools to move objects around with the mouse) and have less need to be interactive (specify that object A is stuck on the left side of object B and centered vertically relative to B.)

I’ve also had the pet peeve that conventional approaches to formatting text tend to make things of secondary importance such as annotations more prominent than the main text. I’ve sometimes experimented with making those things less prominent, instead of using bold I would make the annotations a bit lighter than the main text. Although it reverse the usual conventions the few trials I’ve done seem to indicate that people handle this just fine.
Pardon my ignorance, but is there any reason why a GoPro (Max) or Insta360 is not sufficient?
Now if there were any replacement for DJI I'd be happy... their tech stack is weird AF (e.g. you can only view synchronized flightbooks on your DJI RC controller or on the phone if you're using the sticks-only controller but not on the website or the macOS/Windows companion app, the damn expensive DJI RC controller doesn't do HDMI/DP output, the controllers can't be re-used between drone generations, DJI Fly is only available for sideload on Android ...).

The #2 used to be GoPro with its Karma drone which is one hell of a beast of a drone, but they exited the market when it became clear that neither the US nor EU had any idea what they were doing regarding drone regulations (to this day the EU hasn't managed to publish the licenseable Standard Scenarios, there is exactly one drone model on the market that is classified under the new EU schema that will become mandatory Q1/23, obtaining permissions by individual restricted zones such as fire departments is a hot mess because no one there knows what to do, countries like Croatia theoretically ban camera drones without a completely intransparent special permit process...).

Now, in the EU you're pretty much stuck with DJI if you want to fly in residential areas, hobby built drones and cheap China-made knockoffs that fall under the toy directive. For stuff such as gimbals, there are again virtually only DJI's Ronin series and cheap China-made knockoffs.

Seriously the EU and US need to step up and establish or at least fund companies that can compete with DJI and other sanctioned entities. It's ridiculous that people have to choose between funding CCP associated organizations or cheap knockoffs that are riddled with quality issues, software bugs and license issues.
It has macros.
I'm not trying to guilt anyone. Some folks need to optimize for cheap.

What I'm trying to say is that cheap might not be the best general metric, and laying out reasoning behind that.

I try to avoid saying that someone is bad for choosing cheap, and if I did earlier, I apologize. The goal is to say, "here are some conditions to consider when making a decision".
No it is not 2,500 subscription. It is based on an average rent, Nomad Pass is essentially a way for Nomads to pay their rent, through the app without fees, without legal contracts or credit checks.

Some people (like myself) can afford a 2,500 rent but can't seem to be approved for a 2,500 mortgage, due to credit and this "Feature" of Nomad Pass is for people in my shoes.

Digging | establishing a canal is not the same as dedging .. one is creating a waterway where previsely there wasn't one, the other is removing sediments from an existing waterway | lake | harbour.

This might have an obvious answer for the more experienced here, but (potentially stupid question) why didn't you use dart for this?

Nothing against rust, just interested is all considering the dart/flutter relationship.
Well, all the Rust crates I've mentioned in other comment have comprehensive examples attached, so it's just a matter of connecting their functionality together :)
No, this is significant because it’s a man made canal, as opposed to the natural waterways used for trade that we already knew about. It is far longer than the other Native American canal we know of and likely had damns to control the flow of water through it.
So C-3PO isn't allowed to translate Sith, but he's totally fluent in Daves-Porn-Preferences.

It was not dredging. It was a sophisticated structure to connect two distinct bodies of water. Per the article > "in its heyday it would have stretched a little less than a mile across most of Fort Morgan Peninsula, from Oyster Bay in the north to Little Lagoon in the south. Both bodies of water are at sea level, but the land between reaches up to six feet in elevation. That means anyone digging a trench across the peninsula would risk draining the water table into those sea-level outlets. The solution in this case may have been two dams at either end of the passageway that canoe travelers would have had to carry their boats around. With a shallow draft, dugout canoes would have only needed a few inches of water to pass through the three-foot-deep canal."
> GPS might be helpful for drones (though it should be on the drone, not your phone)

Actually, for the new EU regulations, you need to broadcast both the position of the drone and of the operator, at least for everything above class C1 ("remote ID", see [1]).

And in any case, drones without working GPS are not fun to fly. DJI's Mini 3 Pro (and its larger friends) can do by using the collision-avoidance stereo cameras, but others I wouldn't dare risk running indoors.

Good start, but I'm not sure how song title can extract meaningful similar songs. I put in "Big Time" (song by Peter Gabriel) and it came back with a list of songs from a variety of genres. From smooth jazz selections to songs by Bjork. I think you really need a machine learning approach that categorizes songs by their signal content into categories.
It's both scraping book stores and calling APIs, I do not currently index anything and do all searches live. I'm working on building in caching and eventually indexing to make everything more efficient, but since the async live searches take roughly 4-7 seconds it's not too bad at the moment.
I really appreciate seeing people committed to the open source or free software causes so much that they accept very clearly inferior experiences.

I also really appreciate seeing that for some people, there are limits to just how inferior they are willing for those experiences to be.

Very relatable. Thank you.

> How is that difficult? Most text editors support word wrapping and syntax highlighting.

To add to this, I personally prefer using semantic linefeeds — adding a newline after each sentence or clause (as in e.g. [0] [1]). I find this works exceptionally well with LaTeX, since I get the benefit of the newlines as I write and edit, while the typeset version is formatted nicely into paragraphs for me.

(Not that this is unique to LaTeX, of course; Markdown would be no different. The technique works well with all such tools.)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbnb

They put together a website that offered short-term living quarters and breakfast for those who were unable to book a hotel in the saturated market. The site Airbedandbreakfast.com officially launched on August 11, 2008. The founders had their first customers in the summer of 2008, during the Industrial Design Conference held by Industrial Designers Society of America, where travelers had a hard time finding lodging in the city.

After the founders raised $30,000 by selling cereal named after the two candidates of the 2008 United States presidential election, Barack Obama and John McCain, mostly at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, computer programmer Paul Graham invited the founders to the January 2009 winter training session of his startup incubator, Y Combinator, which provided them with training and $20,000 in funding in exchange for a 6% interest in the company. With the website already built, they used the Y Combinator investment to fly to New York to meet users and promote the site. They returned to San Francisco with a profitable business model to present to West Coast investors. By March 2009, the site had 10,000 users and 2,500 listings.

---

They had the website built and running well before Y Combinator saw them.

I ordered books under the public domain on Amazon. At least 50% were printed on the cheapest paper and on Demand. Some were printed from scans were part of the text is missing and looked like photocopies.

Just because the book is in the public domain does not mean I want a book that looks like a fanzine.

Maybe it does not scale, I agree. This is why a curator is IMO important.

Thank you for pointing out that insightful detail!

The control group was 50% of the population who didn't get an invitation.

The experimental group was 50% of the population who got an invitation for colonoscopy, but turned out to be subdivided into ~40% "health conscious" who actually followed up on the procedure, and ~60% who ignored it.

Presumably there's a corresponding ~40% "health conscious" component of the control group, but this experiment had no method for identifying them.

If the study only looked at that ~40% subset of the experimental group, as opposed to the entire group who received invitations, then they could no longer compare them to the control group.
A modern aluminum canoe, or a hide-covered one, sure. A dugout, which is implied in the article, not so much. And, as you say, if transporting goods it would have been much less work. No pack animals, so everything was moved by human power.
Interesting how this coincides with SwiftKey leaving iOS which was the only good option when it came to getting Dvorak.
If you read the article more carefully you'd see that area in question was a marsh, making it difficult to carry. It was only used in wetter seasons. And the people who lived there did not practice agriculture

> At least 3/4th of people don’t uses Facebook

1/4th of all people is a staggeringly large number.

Also, Meta is more than Facebook and they don’t need to post to be using the platform. They have about 3.7 billion monthly active users.

I really don’t understand this knee-jerk drive to try to downplay the scale of a company that has half of the planet as their active user base.
> I’m more surprised that people think this is too many employees

The question that people have is, "what do the employees actually do?" It's because most people have no idea how labor intensive tech is, nor do they understand the math behind the revenue that 45k active users generate. That said, when you look at 80,000 people "to operate a website" it sounds ridiculous (even thought it probably is not).
This is an interesting idea and I truly wish you the best of luck! Committing from the early stages of late night conception to sitting down and hammering out a demo is no small task.

Your premise reminded me of another startup I read about recently, washbnb. Probably just because it's adjacent to your concept, but it's nice to see continued expansion and iterations in the short-term rental market.

One thing I will add, the 'trips' page had a few additional trips planned for 1970's. Not sure what this indicates but thought you may like to know.

> * Higher density living

USA is non-uniformly populated. The middle of the country is nowhere as dense as the coasts. Our goal as a society should be better land use across the whole country. That would require incentives on the government level.
Yes. Microsoft's EOL dates are never actually enforced, and two years isn't long enough for all of our "unsupported" hardware to be lifecycled.

I can't see it ever becoming more expensive to stay on Win10 before everything unsupported is replaced.
> Wouldn't the app need GPS permissions just to show you where the drone is on a map?

How so? The drone can send its own location. The app might show you your location on the map, but that's not mandatory for operating a drone. It is a good user experience, I admit, but you can operate drones without this.

And it doesn't explain why phone stabilizers require location access. Tried it myself with the OM 5.

> identically zero everywhere.

Not a probability density.
As a new dog owner, I'm pretty sure the dog mob could show up to beat me up and steal a kidney and I'd probably still think getting a dog was a great decision. Love is an odd thing.
No, it doesn't, since the drone will show you where the drone is. For your own location relative to the drone, it is though. You can do without, but just showing home (take off) location on the map is not ideal.
So pass laws to provide incentives for bare bones low income construction, and disincentivize excessive luxury construction. In a lot of places you can't build unless you also build a certain amount of parking, the same approach could be applied to affordable apartments.

We also need laws against large scale speculative home purchases. An individual having a vacation home/rental unit or two is one thing, but home flippers and large scale property rental corps are a big problem.
I don't imagine they would be with a fairly high-risk idea like this.
