Look into(sic) the Nreal Air AR glasses. They're 1080p micro-OLED displays and are sharper than the Quest 2.

They're lightweight, look like Sunglasses , and I've used them for productivity and watching vids for hours daily without eye strain.

In fact I've been using them for gaming on my Steam Deck too and its relieved my neck strain from not having to look down while playing.

With something like Samsung DeX on an S-series Samsung phone you can have a desktop environment, but they also just screen mirror USB-C DP Alt Mode compatible devices including some laptops and tablets, or you can use their AR Space for 3 floating (or pinned) windows.

They also work with M1 Apple laptops directly, and iPhones and HDMI devices in general via an adaptor.

Just note their AR Space feature doesn't work with many Exynos based phones, butnit does with some like the s10e and s21.

Example screenshots I took from Samsung DeX while using my Nreal Air's

Gluing yourself to a tram or the street in 2022 is having zero (positive) effect. The transition from fossil fuel to electrictiy and clean forms of electricity has been happening for a decade plus now - maybe the greenpeacer of the late 90's can legitimately claim credit. No policy maker is seeing these activists at work and changing their mind about anything.

The offshore wind farm opening in 2023 is not a product of that activist gluing themselves to something, and the one planned for 10 years from now is not either. The train, towards clean electricity and near zero oil is in motion, has been for quite some time, and the only question is how fast it is travelling.

I would love to see it move faster, and certainly anyone actually pulling the strings of investment are looking at a coventional power plant vs renewables and throwing their money at renewables faster than people can take it. It is only amongst the chattering masses and everyone having their voice heard on twitter that there is much debate.

I sold my samsung and got a acatel flip phone. It has a calender, messages, clock, timer, alarm, and can even make phone calls.
Yeah, all good points. I guess I'm partially just confused about the dupe detector. E.g., when I post something that someone else has already submitted recently, it just redirects me to the existing post.

Re the luck factor, part of the appeal of Hacker News is there seems to be a lot of work done to minimize the role of luck. Which generally felt like it worked well for me historical, just not recently.

Not a big deal in any event, but if there's something I should be doing differently, I'd like to do it.

“Could ball rolling be the result of bees clearing clutter? Object relocation, such as the removal of dead adults and larvae from the nest or movement of debris within the nest, is naturally performed by bumble bees (Munday & Brown, 2018). Therefore, it may be that ball rolling was a result of bees attempting to remove objects from what they considered their hive space. However, balls were located well outside the nest and in sequestered areas which provided a direct decluttered path from the nest to the food sources. […]”

“[….] While ball rolling, bees partially enveloped the ball, which may resemble positions taken when attempting to mate or sting when defending their nest or in an agitated state. However, we observed no instances of genitalia eversion by males (Amin et al., 2012; Djegham et al., 1994), defensive buzzing (Pritchard & Vallejo-Marín, 2020) or stinger extension by females while in contact with the balls. Therefore, the motor patterns involved in ball rolling are structurally different from more adaptive activities in bumble bees' normal repertoire.”

I believe the backtrace API was added to stable rust with the most recent release, and so anyhow backtraces should now be available outside of nightly.
The outline of the signing algorithm is fine, and the details serve obvious purposes. However the spec is very loose. Normalization when forming the canonical request actually varies subtly between AWS services. This is super frustrating. Of course, you’re already in a really weird place if you need to write your own signer.
Interesting post that reminded me of my Compuserve/Delphi days. I’m pretty passionate about my garden. I’m out there every day picking off caterpillars and frequently googling how to get more yield from a few beds. I have learned there is an economy of scale and it really isn’t cost effective in small lots. But I still enjoy participating in the growing process and enjoying fresh veggies.
> The group’s overall policy remains delusional—the report proposes a far more harmful alternative to recycling

In what multiverse is reducing the amount of single-use plastic we as a society produce more harmful? Nobody's talking about taking away medical supplies like syringes; those are a tiny drop in the bucket compared to even shopping bags and straws, let alone disposable packaging, let alone fishing nets, let alone all the other things made needlessly disposable and also needlessly made of plastic.
I don't think most open source dev:s want CoPilot or a FOSS alternative for this very reason:

Code assist AI does no attribution.

This removes engagement between the dev and library authors. this ruins chances of engaging new contributors over time, eroding and killing the FOSS communities.

Code assist AI also does not care about licenses. See [1]

It's not so simple.

In order to federate an object you must:

- send requests with proper 'HTTP Signatures' (many AP nodes have strict enforcement here)

- which requires you to have an actor with an attached signing pubkey

- so you have to host the LD-JSON actor descriptor on another endpoint

- actors MUST have an attached inbox & outbox, your receive endpoint will need to sit at your actor's inbox (on POST). both of these are OrderedCollections of Activities

- and in order to be properly interoperable you will probably need to maintain follow relations & write an endpoint which can ACK/NAK follows, etc etc
Well, not 280 character specifically, but I can deploy a myriad of forums and image/text boards in minutes. I suppose in the config file I could limit text posts to 280 characters but I would rather leave it a bit bigger.

Forums can be federated on the backend with database replication or LDAP which is also basically database replication. I suppose tooling could be created to manage LDAP branches so that people could replicate sub-sets of data read-only and some sub-sets read-write. I know I just made some admins heave a bit. Using one of the now-sanctioned Russian forks of OpenLDAP ReOpenLDAP [1] the federation could scale to several million users so at some point that code would have to evolve again to reach Twitter scale. What is their active user count?

Some IRC daemons can also use LDAP for identity. No idea if Matrix can support LDAP.

So once again we are talking about mice here and “We need to do this study in humans and confirm whether the same pathway operates in the same way.”

Also in order to have any effect, you need to actually create a pathway for the bacteria - i.e. damage tissue in your nose.

> Is Twitter going away? What did I miss?

Speaking as a person who has been generally well-disposed towards Elon Musk and like him also would describe myself as a left-leaning, centrist, free-speech absolutist, I think his behavior has been erratic lately. Perhaps his behavior has always been erratic, but it just never affected me personally.

Speaking as a resident of a country neighboring Russia, his amateur diplomacy from a few weeks ago does affect me, and in my view was literally dangerous. He pontificated from a place of profound ignorance at best and continued to double down even in the face of very smart domain experts and ordinary Ukrainians asking him - begging him - to please zip it. Then he acted aggrieved and hurt when his "peace proposal" was not received well.

I'm not sure what is being accomplished by the latest Twitter shenanigans, but I'm seeing the same behavior of his ignoring domain experts. For instance, moderation is a difficult social and technical problem irrespective of political view. Advertisers are not renewing their contracts with Twitter, not because of Musk's political views, but because they did not have confidence that their brands would not be tainted by association with unmoderated nastiness. Again, Musk attributed this to left-wing activists and not his own inability to reassure his business associates. He framed it as a free-speech issue when it is absolutely not. Then he threatened to "name and shame" the advertisers who declined to renew. He fired the domain experts who understand moderation, and so the institutional knowledge about it - arguably, what he bought when he bought Twitter - is gone, never to return.

So, I don't think Twitter will recover from that. Perhaps if I had not experienced his amateur diplomacy directly, I would just continue to think of Musk as a fellow who is very good at business and is possibly playing multi-dimensional chess. But I cannot unlearn what I have learned. His personal brand is permanently tarnished, for me.
> "Alcohol is the only drug on earth you have to justify not taking."

I find this quote really interesting.
Growing up in a western country where people drink a lot of alcohol, not necessarily for the enjoyment of it but to get "hammered".
I've countless times defended myself for both friends, family and new and existing co-workers for why I don't drink, and these people look at me like I'm some sort of alien.
According to "these people" I am in fact a weirdo, because I've spoken about the affects of caffeine, taking cold showers/baths, fasting etc etc.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, however, I hope there'll be a time where it's "acceptable" to go out with your friends, family or co-workers, and not be expected to drink alcohol or excluded just because you won't inject your body with legal "poison".

Note: I have nothing against people who drinks alcohol, but let's just enjoy each other's company and don't force it on me. Thanks.

Im not really sure what the author is getting at because Terraform automagically does drift detection and there are unfortunately many reasons for drift, both cloud provider based and terraform upgrade changing api/defaults based. Obviously author saw a bunch of anti patterns they didn’t like but would be good to share more specific examples.

I read the article.

Three key points:

1) Nowhere did it say that the German government are classifying the protestors who blocked the road as RAF like terrorists. The person who made that comparison was a right wing politician who is known to be against the Green Party in Germany and he also seems to be a lobbyist for car manufacturers and is accused of not doing enough when the VW Dieselgate happened. So no wonder he's comparing these climate activists with RAF terrorists.

2) The government spokesman Mr Hebstriet even implied the word Terrorism should not be used and this case can be dealt with existing laws. What they are discussing is whether harsher laws are required to discourage road blocking protests.

3) According to the emergency doctor treating the cyclist at the scene, the fact that the car was not available had no effect on the rescue of the injured woman - so she died because of her serious injuries and not because of the people blocking the road.

I hope by your argumentation so far you are not advocating that schoolkids, doctors, scientists and other people who are protesting in the name of nature and future generations should be seen as potential terrorists or that those people who have broken traffic laws should be treated as terrorists?
The study specifically addresses both of named explanations.
> Consumers MUST take responsibility for what they buy

How are they expected to do that when the vast majority of products they buy are wrapped in excessive amounts of plastic (and when the very few exceptions are more expensive)? The only reasonable solution here is to address the supply side of the equation.

Yeah, to be fair, my perspective is from Canada, which I probably should have mentioned.

To be fair, I've always upgrade my hardware before the hardware has lost OS support.

If I really wanted to I guess I could run linux on these and use them for something, but I never do (I have one server in my house, it's enough). I upgraded the hardware for a reason.

There are two things: First, say the Android apk they distribute has a backdoor, and someone realizes that (it's distributed to millions of people, could be that someone checks). Then that's the end of Signal, right? So that's a big risk for them. That's for the "mass surveillance" scenario. Not perfect, but that's something. Second, if you fear a targeted attack, then self-compile Signal. It's not that difficult if you care about it.
What do those "HTTP Signatures" do?

If admin of serverA decides to add serverB to the servers_i_talk_to array, they also ask serverB to give them a public key and from then on serverA only accepts messages from serverB if they are signed with the corresponding private key?

Is that so that serverB can change its IP without interrupting the communication with serverA?
I love all of these features. The link part is a little rough. I think this is the best choice out of a space or bad options, but it sucks that it means that the thing a link does 99% of the time has to be flipped on its head. I don’t see a good alternative though; if you make it an “edit” button instead of a “visit” button, you make normal text editing super inconvenient, and that’s the effect users will usually want in an editor.
I don't necessarily think that AWS is overly complicated. What I do think is that the entire ecosystem of tools is very powerful, and often times finding the "easy button" for a given task (and there usually is one) is far more time-consuming than it should be.

Many a time* I wished that Amazon would have a single easy-to-find documentation page listing common use cases and the de facto standard third-party tool (and there usually is one) to make a given case easier.

Fun side note: as a security professional, I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I've heard app owners claim that "AWS handles security for us" or some variation thereof.

*It's been a few years since I messed with AWS in depth; for all I know such a page may exist now.

An underlying problem here is that we have come to favor computers that scales out the Von Neumann architecture with more cache coherent cores and more memory. If we take the path of hardware that implements smaller Von Neumann scales, and rather partitions smaller sets of cores and memory into actors that communicate with memssages we would get lower memory latency and less penalty from random access patterns.
