Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction [off] & Check Spelling [on].

Reading a lot of the complaints here, they really need to create some sort of onboarding for the keyboard and make it more transparent what the switches do in the settings menu.

I was pretty pissed when they launched slide to type, until I played with these and found that turning predictive off feels waaay better. It took me a little bit to get used to, but I’m much happier now and can type multiple words with out looking at the keyboard. My settings:

Auto Capitalization: On

*Auto-Correction: Off

Check Spelling: On

Enable Caps Lock: On

*Predictive: Off

Smart Punctuation: On[1]

*Slide to Type: Off

Character Preview: On

“.” Shortcut: On

Some of these are personal preference, but the ones I put with a star greatly effect the way the keyboard types. I’ve been using iPhones since 2011, so I’m used to the last two for example, but if you don’t use slide to type it screws with the touch targets big time, and the Predictive setting is the one most people here are frustrated with.

That said, I think the keyboard was better about 10 years ago when it had some slight prediction baked in.

[1] I think smart punctuation only really applies in english to "" -> “”, I think it looks nicer, but can be a nightmare if you are trying to type a sting literal on the phone and don’t realize it’s a thing, definitely something to be aware of, lol.
Sometimes I’d type out a correct spelling of a word and it’d correct it to another word that’s totally unrelated to the context of the sentence, like your Quake example.

Infuriating when in a rush.
because then they have to make agreements with cell providers and put special antennas on for that one use case
Well, HN is not for flame wars or religious dispute. And I don't think it would be very effective.

More seriously, I think there is still hope for a full reunification. The Miaphysite heresy was resolved in 1990 after 1549 years. The Great Schism could go another 500 on that track record, and the protestants another 1000. At the rate things are going though, most denominations will just disappear from evaporation and increasingly lax doctrine long before that.
This is fantastic! Would be nice if other things could be added, e.g. Google shopping and so on. But I will try it for a week and see what I think of it.
The thing is, temperature is just motion at very small scales. On a solid, particles are attached to one another via the atomic forces, and a "temperature increase" means that the particles are jiggling more. With high enough jiggling, the particles start to break apart and the substance undergoes a phase transition. Now, when it's a gas, the particles are jiggling so much they aren't attached to one another, they are flying around at very high speeds as shown in the visualization. So, your intuition is correct: increasing the speed of the particles then is in fact the same as "increasing the temperature" of the gas.
To be fair, that is hardly inter generational.
Very weird behaviour after a few prompts, just keeps spinning. And what exactly is the fast part here stressing on?
This just came up in my current org a couple months ago and we cancelled our IDA licenses to start using Ghidra. Ghidra is ver capable in my opinion.

When I was in the US Gov there were plenty of IDA licenses floating around despitr the existence of Ghidra. The Gov thinking was basically "better to have it and not need it instead of need it and not have it". There must be a thousand licenses that never get used year after year. I suspect IDA is safe for a while for this reason alone, but of course could be wrong and don't have the numbers-just speculation.
> As for enjoying hanging around with kids.... I don't know what age that starts, but I'm 5 years and counting.

My kids are 6 and 8 and I have enjoyed spending time with them since they were little. I do get tired and want to be alone after a while tho.

I think we should just accept the fact that some people enjoy children and some don't.

It makes sense, some people like ballet some outdoor activities some videogames, there's no reason to expect kids would be different.
What about this is healthy exactly?
> It's a standard industry term

It's a relatively new term. The first mention on HN is about 10 years ago. According to Google Trends the usage took off in 2009[1].

> if you want to change that

I have a problem with the adjective "individual", not with the "contributor" part.
This term tries to achieve two things:

1. a better sounding term to a lowly "worker" or "non-manager", to make people feel good that they're not managers.

2. trying to put an artificial cap on the "contribution" part: i.e. as individual you're limited on the amount of value you can create for the company. The reality is some developers contributing 3x as much as 9-5s (putting 10x developer anecdotes aside).

3. it implies that managers are contributing much more than non-managers. In some multinationals there are 17 levels deep hierarchies of managers which adding net negative value to the companies they're "managing".

> No well managed, well planned organization wants 'shadow' or 'dark' management to be occurring, even if it might be.

There are lots of "shadow"/"dark" (think implicit, unwritten) processes in any organization, and without them no organization will be able to function effectively. Famous example is British postal strike, when the mail stopped being delivered once the postal workers started working strictly according to the rules.

For many corporate IT systems there is a "dark" IT app, like work-related WhatsApp groups.

For every Jira ticket here are probably several "dark" tickets.

For every middle manager, there are senior "IC"s who are fixing the holes by doing "shadow" management.

Show HN: I created a board game with Stable Diffusion
Last week I proposed to my girlfriend with a board game I created with stable diffusion, lexica.art and DALLE. I wrote about the process, hope you'll find in interesting.
As long as you have bandwidth latency really isn’t that important for most activities. It can suck a bit for voice and video calls (but not as bad as you might think). Online fast paced gaming is of course out of the question.
One more vote. This seems to help. Thank you for the suggestion.
Now I am wondering if I should also turn off "Predictive" in the settings.
Ask HN: Why can't I buy a solar farm online like commercial property?
Around $3k for a one year floating license, then $4k per architecture, at least according to this price list: https://www.componentsource.com/product/ida-pro-hex-rays-dec...
Note that states can always override NEC requirements. For example, Texas overrode the 2020 NEC requirement that 240 outlets in the garage must have GFCI breakers. (Learned this when wiring my garage with a 30A plug for my EV)
Reminds me of an old joke about the dean of a university complaining to the head of the experimental physics department about how much his department costs. "You have all that expensive equipment," he says. "Look at your counterparts in the theoretical physics department. They're as cheap as the math department: all they ask for is pencils, paper, and erasers." He stops and thinks for a moment. "And the philosophy department is cheaper still. They don't even ask for erasers."
This is my first encounter with Long Now year formatting in the wild. Bravo.

Do you use it when not speaking of historical topics, too?
You could use tools such as https://maas.io/ and Ansible to setup the software on your machines in an automated way.

You can buy hardware from many vendors. Maybe Dell or HP(E) websites are an easy start.

You also need a good place for your rack, that will generate a lot of heat and noise. Not every closet is a good datacenter.

You are looking for a competent sysadmin I believe, but good luck to attract one with such a small setup. It’s probably not worth the cost anyway, and perhaps a few existing people in your team should do it themselves.

What you want to do is very common in research labs, where people are competent, motivated, and with more time than AWS budget.
“My resentful story of becoming a medical miracle”
I’m having the same conversations with people but from the opposite side: I’d far, far prefer you click the $50 button than do anything at all in the real world, because anytime anyone at my work touches anything that isn’t a keyboard, it’s costing us a hell of a lot more than that.
spend a couple months in and out of your local NICU, as I have, seeing firsthand the depressingly common spectacle of premature neonates being left alone for days, sometimes over a week, by parents (or parent) who can't make the time to visit their own clinging-to-life offspring.

Because their lives are already overburdoned by the several other - somehow always toddler-age - children in tow with them. Lives frequently complicated by various degrees of substance abuse, leading to the NICU births. You would not be as comfortable googling some factoid response here.

Whatever the macro trend may be in terms of total birthrate, its the constitution of those births, in terms of quality of life, my post was referring to.
I doubt the 500$/month plan would be able to withstand the cyber warfare waged by Russia. Encryption and anti jamming is not cheap.
What models are you referring to? Having driven a loaded Taycan, which I think is probably most often cited as being superior, I’d take even a basic Tesla over it any day. AFAICT, none of the competitors have the full system UX dialed in like Tesla.
I don't think those are it at least I didn't hear the voice in those videos and I don't quite remember playing those.
4y is insane for anything before round B (?). Might as well bootstrap at this point.
Incomplete Roguelike game written in Ruby
I've been working on writing a roguelike game in ruby, without using any external libraries.

It's not really a complete game at this stage, all you can do is travel through the randomly generated mazes once you hit the stairs.

I thought I would share as I have been struggling for time to do further features.

Any feedback is appreciated, feel free to have a look around and contribute if you so wish.
That's for floating licenses, though, which are like 2x the price of the fixed and named licenses, right?

IDA has a problem where, for some shops, it really makes sense to just have one concurrent IDA user, because IDA is like 10-15% of the work hours --- but it's a critically important 10-15%. So they're super careful to charge for the ability to rotate a team of consultants through the same IDA license.

We had a client, a decade or so ago, that brought us in to do IDA-based vulnerability research work. We wrote some blog posts about the work, and it was so unusual for any of their clients to have that licensing arrangement that IDA (this is in the Pierre era, not the Hex-Rays era) publicly accused us of pirating our copy (which was annoying, because we couldn't out our client, but they absolutely did have the licensing worked out for this.)

It's all super off-putting. But IDA is in sort of a bind, because there just aren't that many users for their ultra-hyper-specialized product. You can have the very best decompiler in the world and you're still going to be a rounding error compared to companies like Figma, because (1) not that many people use disassemblers and (2) less and less software is written in C/C++ every year.
I didn't think a lot of the cities can get fiber to the home. I know I can't in NYC and when I was in LA, nor in Ft Lauderdale. Is it easier in most other big cities?
I thought teachers in the US mostly have 403b now (which as far as I know works like 401k), but I don't really know. A solo 401k would actually be more attractive if so, but probably not until above 60k gross income. Depending on state, family situation, and tax planning ability, they could also potentially get free or heavily subsidized Obamacare.

The small "class" sizes and much greater autonomy would be big non-tangible benefits though. And of course these arrangements can have more... flexible tax reporting.
Just don’t take it as a rule though - I had a kid late also and I don’t regret the camping, brunches, career and travel at all. Some are memories I’ll keep forever and all those experiences make me feel like I’ve had a fullish life already, which can make it easier to deal with the no-life of having kids :)
That's interesting. Kids made me much less patient, and also far more selfish. I have much less free time so I get absolutely frustrated if the remainder is wasted. I have far less money so I am loathe to give it to anyone in need or do much but hoard money at all costs lest the child need more $100 bills for the roaring cash fire they are. I have no time for friends so I have little incentive to be kind or cordial to others for the purpose of developing a relationship. My emotional capacity to care for others is drained by the child, so I have no empathy left over for others.

Pre-kid me was far more patient, far more kind, far more generous, far more empathetic, and all around a much more pleasant and well rounded person.
While Bluesky PBLLC received initial funding from Twitter Inc, Twitter (whether under its current management or impending Musk ownership) has no ownership interest or veto-power over the Bluesky plans.

Though Agrawal seemed interested enough that Bluesky would potentially have had an 'inside track' to getting Twitter to interoperate, Twitter's proprietary platform interests may have always made that tricky. Under new management, anything could happen.

one reason is that lte providers mostly don't point antennas up.
I hear you. I’ve been on iPhones since the 4 and always typed with autocorrect turned off. When swipe-to-type finally came out I was stoked, but it constantly screws things up. “To” instead of “too” or vice-versa, it’s never the one I actually want (and “of” vs “off” as well, they need to work on these types of pairs), “s” instead of “a”, “o” instead of “I”, apostrophes for words I’m trying to pluralize. And while I can’t verify, my theory is that words with negative connotations are downweighted. I mean good luck ever getting an actual curse word out of it, but I’ve also noticed it with plenty of other words.

ETA: selecting misspelled words to choose replacement seems completely broken to me. 99% of the time I can’t even tap it to select even though it’s underlined in red.
They have no existing obligations, and a business model that doesn't seem to work for consumer-level products. They are in the process of trying to upscale quickly: they entered the defense market (Starlinks in Ukraine), they started providing service for luxury yachts, and now aircraft. It's clear what is happening here: they have been told that they can't get subsidies for consumer broadband, so they are pivoting.
"It's like that thing, if you care" is a very poor answer. What makes it like that thing more than others? Why is that a strong enough point to mention? You think you can run old unix software on it?
I owned one for like 8-9 years. I love to shit on the cars because they were awful to own. I eventually sold it when Tesla just stopped responding to safety recall notices or repairs, to say nothing of the "weird, the thing is stuck on a reboot loop" or "FSD IS HERE!" (FSD not available)
lol maybe you're seeing it with rose colored glasses... as someone seeing my friends all go thru this right now, for the majority it sure looks like their life is way more stressful and not in a good way. this trickles down into everything...work, marriage, etc. justifying it by saying it's not gonna last forever seems more like a copout, no offense. i maintain that you shouldn't have kids unless you really, really want them. your life goals will take a backseat and your marriage better be on solid ground.
You've done route planning for internet service, or route planning for US/Canada domestic in-flight internet service? Because there's a lot of nothing in between successive towns in rural Canada and the US.
Why is

- a virus unusually adapted to being transmitted between people

- which was released next to one of a handful of labs on earth that studied it

- that the Chinese government and several American scientists tried to cover up

- normally found a thousand of miles away

- that we can't find an origin for unlike SARS and MERS (with far more looking)

isn't also an at least equally extraordinary claim?
“ ring exposes a Rust API and is written in a hybrid of Rust, C, and assembly language.”
I think it is a lighter form of wetsuit intended for spring when the weather is getting warmer.
As a Dutchman myself, who has stolen his fair share of traffic lights (who hasn't): still only what we call it because of the traffic-light-ness, if you had to write down the actual colour used, or had to point at it on a colour wheel, we'd pick "orange-yellow".
In general I found the experience of buying a Tesla extremely pleasant, and the first couple years of ownership quite nice. The longer I owned the car, the worse it got.
It’s not that I disagree, but all those things need doing just as much if your kids are in bed at 9:30 at the earliest.
I’ve changed my keyboard settings and am very happy with the iPhone keyboard after readjusting. My settings:

Auto Capitalization: On

*Auto-Correction: Off

Check Spelling: On

Enable Caps Lock: On

*Predictive: Off

Smart Punctuation: On[1]

*Slide to Type: Off

Character Preview: On

“.” Shortcut: On

The ones with an asterisk make the biggest difference, and you may have to readjust to not having crazy touch targets.

[1] I like the look of “” vs "", personally, but it’s good to know regardless that it does this because it won’t work if you are typing a sting literal, lol.
"further 29% noting they’ve switched public cloud providers in the first half of 2022 due to high prices"

Wait, what? There's no way 29% of companies noped their way out of cloud provider lock-in. Not saying it doesn't happen, but 29% is a huge number.

Unless of course they're startups with no idea how they want their infrastructure run or legacy companies dipping their feet (?) in the cloud for the first time.
It's not you: it's got worse. My work phone was recently upgraded to an iPhone 12 and it's way worse for typing than the 6S it replaced.

Lots of typos, and if you hold the phone slightly wrong you end up with it not responding because the edge of one of your fingers will be in contact with the touch sensitive area so it registers as a multitouch. I have big hands with long fingers so this is hard to avoid whilst maintaining a firm grip on the phone. Super annoying.

I imagine the latter could be mitigated to some extent with a case but the phone is big enough already without bulking it up by adding a case. (I have tried cases before - not a fan at all.)
Plus all the orthophoto generation, tiling, and web prep to make it easy to whip out a map website quickly.
>this speed is based on pressure & temperature

I'd say that pressure & temperature are a consequence of the speed, not the other way around
Tags are arguably superior to folders for organising files, unfortunately the major OS don't seem to agree. I'm using the same (expanded, adapted) folder structure for all my files since I got my first computer, and it's survived multiple OS migrations, being synced between multiple devices with different form factors, multiple changes in life circumstances (school, undergrad, postgrad, work),... I love tags and I've used them in some parts (eg in my old mp3 collection, for academic papers, for Anki flash cards) and I'd love to use a (simple and dumb, not rich enough to enable set theory paradoxes) tagging system to organise my files instead.

However, my experience has left me convinced that the only truly long-term solution for your personal data are flat files sitting on your hard drive inside a simple hierarchical folder structure. Anything else is likely going to rot at some point, after a system change, after some BigTech decides they want to use something else, after a start-up disappears, or it's going to keep you locked into some walled garden. Unless there's something I've missed, if so please let me know.
they absolutely can prioritize some antennas over others.
> Hex-Rays did ultimately release IDA Home, but you have to sign up for an account to even find out what their hobbyist license costs.

And even then, IDA Home comes with some pretty serious limitations. It's not just a no-commercial-use version of IDA Pro; it's also a cut-down version with no decompiler, no batch mode, and which only disassembles code for one processor family (which you have to choose at the time of purchase, from a limited subset of what IDA Pro supports).
As Dutchman myseklf: the official colour as "the traffic light is:" are rood, oranje, and groen (i.e red, orange, and green). As actual colours if you have to pick them from a Dutch colour chart with Dutch colour names tough, they'd be rood, oranje-geel, and blauw-groen (red, orange-yellow, and blue-green). No tertiary or quaternaries for us, we love them hyphenated colours.
It's not that much cheaper. $1,935.50 for a one year fixed or named license, then $2,709.70 per architecture. Let's say you need the typical four for x86 and ARM, that's over $12k per seat. A lot of companies would balk at that.
When Java came out, before it stabilized, it was often jokingly called C--.
I kid, but it does make me sad. :( (found via "bookwarrior", libgen founder)
Yeah, but latency will be suboptimal as viasat's satellites are in geosynchronous orbit. Many laws a optional, but I'm afraid they can't get around the speed of light...
An accurate recreation of the mmorpg final fantasy 11 when it first released - emulation software (https://github.com/AirSkyBoat/AirSkyBoat) and the upcoming private server horizonxi.
For sure. Maybe these anecdotes are useful; maybe not. I don't know. Everybody has to figure it out on their own, in the end.
Sure. But most of my notes are lecture slides
as PDFs, and I have e-books also as PDFs. It's much easier to annotate directly on a PDF than to have to print them, annotate, scan, and ensure the scan quality is good.

At some point, 'it's cheaper' is just not a good enough argument for paper notebooks versus the sheer versatility of an iPad.

I would have to buy a veritable cart-load of writing stationery to emulate everything I do on my iPad. It would likely still be cheaper, yes, but it would also be much more of a pain in the neck.
I manage one midsized company's set of cloud resources that I'm pretty sure could be reduced by 40% in cost or more if they were willing to take a 3 year advanced reserve. The problem is I can't get a handle on how much their infrastructure will or won't need to scale in the next three years, since they themselves don't know. There's always some new deal around the corner that would require scaling up. On top of that, I'm not sure what we have now will even be sufficient for the existing size of the business a year from now, as much depends on new features in the pipeline and how they end up being used. The result is they end up overspending by probably $3k a year, but the upshot is the flexibility. As far as getting completely off the cloud, I migrated them away from dedicated boxes years ago and I don't miss dealing with maintaining those. The extra time for that alone was worth at least $3k a year. Even with a smaller dedicated data center, there are still issues with getting tickets responded to promptly. And there's way less in the way of failover unless you build it yourself.
