I made a mac app called Presentify (https://presentify.compzets.com) just at the right time when covid started and when most were working remotely.

I had this idea well before covid because when I was explaining something to others over a call (via screen share) I wished I had something to draw on the screen and highlight a few things to articulate my thoughts better. However, I never invested time to develop an app for this until Covid. This remote work saved me travel time which I decided to utilise to make the app.

So, in short, I got the idea from the problem I faced personally. Luckily, I received overwhelming response from Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22938604) and Reddit community and this has encouraged me to invest more time to the app and make it better.

For a developer doing software builds frequently, the amount of available memory for caching disk access (buffer) can very much make a difference. The more the better.
Authoritarian regimes often come from revolutions and present themselves as revolutionary, even many decades after the revolution. So anyone suspect of being against the regime is described as being reactionary.
> These slides need a lot of work. I'll read the paper later, but the slides really lack context and motivation.

SPJ is an exceptional public speaker, but that involves a lot of talking, a lot of context, audience participation, and a lot of wild gesticulating at slides.

I'm not sure if this talk was recorded, but I am sure if it was the recording will be much better than the slides, the slides are not really designed for consumption outside of the talk context, but rather as a reminder rather than taking notes. At least that's my experience having seen a number of his talks over the years.
Presuming authoritarianism to be this one thing was the starting point, a worldview shaped by neo-colonial "democracy or else" is my theory as to why the alternatives in types of government as seen from a western view point are either authoritarian, communist or democratic (even putin and dprk are democratic lol). In reality, putin's russia, dprk, china, vietnam, etc... are all different from each other. You can't be succesful like china by being communist alone for example or end up poor like nk simply because one family of dictators ruled over a few generations (the british monarchy of dictators ruled for over a millenium and had the largest empire ever).

When baloo finishes indexing its load on processor is practically zero. Akonadi is just a centralized account management framework which works on events coming from these accounts.

Baloo uses a lot of RAM depending on what you index, but neither Akkonadi, nor baloo takes custody of the processor(s) and degrade system performance.

I have Ubuntu 20.04 running MATE on a RPi 4 8GB and I have to say it is pretty damn sluggish. I need to dig under the hood more to lighten it up, because even with a quad core at 1.5ghz and 8gb ram... the window system and just general menus and movement feels slower than an old Win2K machine I had with only 64MB of ram at 266mhz. I had to enable the outline-of-window-only when moving or resizing because just moving a firefox window on the screen drops the FPS to a slideshow.
That's not exactly how it works.

a virtio balloon is intended to be used in "near OOM conditions" (due to performance implications, mostly)

a normal VM is not doing this.

it's also true that even if it was opportunistic: qemu's memory allocation on the host would take precedence over host filesystem caches which would be consequently evicted.

The reason people really like containers at the moment is partially due to this memory situation, you can "fit" more containers on a host due to better fitting of the memory.

I haven’t used any super high powered LEDs mostly because I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to this. I spent $35 on a clearance corn bulb that uses 100W and outputs 10,000 lumens, but I’m not sure I’d recommend them as the light output seems “dirtier” (i.e. it flickers in webcams). Buying $120 worth of 1600 lumen each bulbs was incremental and I bought an 8 pack every few weeks until I’d filled all my light sockets.

I’m using ~400-450 nits brightness monitors and it’s fine in light mode. I can make things out in dark mode but it’s less pleasant.

I don’t get monitor glare but maybe that’s due to positioning? I have the corn bulb up and to the left of me and the 28 bulbs are stuck into the ceiling fan (which looks silly but works!)

Yeah, agree, for a lot of people, social status will be always the primary driver. But if ever achieve a society where everybody has all necessities taken care of without needing to work for them, and people (the ones who choose to) only struggle for social status, that, for all practical purposes, is utopia.
In some special cases a transmission may make sense on an EV.

Electric motors are very inefficient at low revs. Most cars don't spend much time at low revs with a lot of torque output so this doesn't matter. But a car like a jeep that may haul a high load at low revs up a hill may be more efficient with a transmission.

Of course you have to account for the weight of the transmission and its inefficiency as well to see if it makes sense overall.
No worries, unfortunately I've passed the time limit when I can edit the original post to clarify.

[e for e in evangelicals where authoritarian(e)]

Assuming ~100m US evangelicals, only ~55m are conservative, and presumably only some fraction of those are authoritarian, in the sense that they could willingly support the kind of authoritarianism under which dreams change. Trump support was, at 74m, substantially higher than the number of people I had been intending to discuss.

My gauge is how predictable it is - I can predict how a Reddit thread will go 90% of the time it seems, maybe even a 4chan thread 80% of the time.

The value of a community is in the unpredictability and HN has a good percentage of that, and I can choose to ignore the threads that will be predictable (though it can be fun to read them sometimes).

It could, except most other major countries are in a similar position and would be doing something similar in the same time, which means that the relative strength of the dollar might not change that much.

Now re-read the post you're actually replying to and notice that I didn't say anything like what you appear to be responding to.

I've never been worried about blue light. I sleep fine. And stayed away from social media because it seemed unhealthy to me from the start, so I've never been hooked on twitter/instagram/tiktok. I actually feel for the people who are obsessed with it, especially the number of journalists who seem to have defined their jobs and role in life around reporting what was said by whom on twitter. There seems to be a small trend forming around people exiting that particular sink hole and realizing immediate improvements in their life experience. I hope that situation continues to improve, but that's up to each person to decide whether social media is helpful or harmful for their life and goals.

While I do spend a lot of time in front of a screen, I also get up regularly, stretch, walk around, take the dog out for a walk, etc. So I don't get tension headaches. If I feel uncomfortable at all, I do something about it.

Your reply here makes a lot of assumptions about what you know about other people, their situations, what you know about this area of study, and what the solutions are. This is the actual issue that seems to make this light v dark mode discussion more difficult that it needs to be.

What has been properly studied in this area is pretty thin as most areas of scientific inquiry go. So there really isn't much anyone can claim to know here with the levels of certainty you seem to express.

Aside from that, you're being pretty aggressive about giving out unasked advice to people you don't know, whose situations you don't know.

If you can't understand why someone like myself can read and understand everything you just said and none the less enjoy dark mode; if it bothers you that people claim dark mode benefits them in spite of your certainty that they are mistaken and this is just a matter of having the right information, then you might try accepting that people are different, start asking more questions, and dial down the unasked advice. You might happier and more pleasant company for it.

Not everyone needs to be the same for you to be okay with the situation. You don't need to fix people. If anything you just need to understand more.
For the most part, very little.
They have recently entered into an agreement with Yamaha outboards[1] to have Yamaha manufacture Sharrow propellers.

So far though there has not been much in terms of real-world validation of the props on common boats. In some cases there are modest gains seen (<10%), but that is not enough to offset the increased upfront price of the Sharrow. If they could get the manufacturing cost down to that of a typical high performance propeller it might have more demand in the market.

This rings true to me. My hobbies aren't especially expensive, but in all of them there are certainly ways to spend money that would tell me that you don't "get it". "It" being what I find interesting about the hobby. Not that it's necessarily worse or that I want to pass judgment on it, just that the connection isn't there.

But I wonder, in cultures very different from mine, which we generally see as more status-competitive, is that also true? Is it a faux pas to buy an expensive gold chain over a "proper" one?

Show HN: Log expenses with Apple’s Natural Language
Hey, sharing my first ever app for tracking expenses :)

Key features
- Expenses are auto-organized for you using NLP (type "Rent" --> purchase is placed under "Household")
- Visual layout for spotting spending habits
- Free, no account/ads/tracking

Story
- I'm a designer /w some education in coding. Swift kickstarted my iOS journey (vs. ObjC)
- Took 4y of work and testers feedback --> most screens redone 2-3 times (if anyone's interested in previous versions)
- Started freemium, now free coz seems like target market is more into saving than spending
- Costs: $400 for having TestFlight during 4y of dev + ~$150 for cumbersome ASO tools + $100 in store ads
- Not looking to make $$ but rev is ~1/4 of costs

Would love to hear your thoughts!
P.S. Got tips on "indie" promotion or getting featured on the App Store? Contacts at Apple told me the team isn't into financial apps :/

I afraid we stray from the topic, but yes, i'm not either one for Hitchen's obvious ideology-based vendetta against Catholicism in general and Mother Teresa in particular. Having witnessed first hand the Sisters of Mercy at work in rural Africa where no-one except these proselytes of Mother Teresa thought it worthwhile to take in orphans, lepers, old people without relatives and give them food, shelter, life in fact. Not an atheist in sight.
Why? Seems like the Falcon 9 team has gone from strength to strength.

Welcome to the old centralization decentralization cycle. The article talks about a lot of real issues with rural QoL. High QoL is more efficient when centralized but if you tolerate a lower QoL then the perspective shifts. Rural living is decentralized infrastructure and an important thing to preserve as a hedge against cataclysm. We really do need our whole last mile of 3rd world country not to get eaten by corporatism.
I can't agree. The changes are trivial[1]. An oil painting reproduction of a photograph is a derivative work, which makes this an unauthorized derivative work. The amount of skill involved in creating the reproduction is totally irrelevant, and a derivative work being transformative does not remove the original creator's rights over the distribution of derivative works.

It's worth noting here that the court in question did not address whether the painting is a derivative work, but whether the photograph itself was creative enough to earn copyright protection. The idea that it isn't is even more outrageous than the idea that the painting isn't a derivative work.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Splits between U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors are delaying the conclusion of a long-running criminal investigation into the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, four people familiar with the matter have told Reuters.

The investigation began in 2018 and is focused on Binance's compliance with U.S. anti-money laundering laws and sanctions, these people said. Some of the at least half dozen federal prosecutors involved in the case believe the evidence already gathered justifies moving aggressively against the exchange and filing criminal charges against individual executives including founder Changpeng Zhao, said two of the sources. Others have argued taking time to review more evidence, the sources said.
Have you considered enabling HSTS on the webserver with dynamic endpoints and rate limiting after detecting the flagged IP, literally to a crawl?

Fair enough! I do agree that it’s important to back up any concrete biological claims related to eyesight or other long-term effects. But I’m moreso trying to argue that beyond specific claims about legibility or eye strain, it’s quite easy to understand that dark schemes are less blinding and therefore more comfortable for anyone sensitive to bright light.

> a virtio balloon is intended to be used in "near OOM conditions"

Of course. This is why you need to plan your VM deployments on your system carefully, even if it's just a desktop system.

> it's also true that even if it was opportunistic: qemu's memory allocation on the host would take precedence over host filesystem caches which would be consequently evicted.

A filesystem cache on the RAM is one of the most opportunistic mechanisms in Linux, and AFAICS, the buffers are the least important allocations on RAM, since they can be re-accessed from disk when necessary. So, the ballooning device enters at very high memory pressure scenarios with almost full swap area.

The truth is, you shouldn't be nearing to this point at any of your systems, running VMs or not.

Lastly, a bare bones Linux system w/o a graphical interface needs comparable memory to a biggish daemon, hence when used smartly, they're invisible sans the context switching load they induce on the system.
Sure, and that’s what I’m trying to say. Is being conscience just fooling yourself and others really well or is there some new property that eventually emerges from large enough neural networks and sensory inputs?

Isn't the point of having RAM to fill it in order to cache objects? To me measuring how much RAM a DE uses is strange because I would expect it to consume enough RAM to be snappy but be able to adopt in a constrained system. If however I have 8G free, use it away, I don't see the point in having RAM I paid for sitting around unused.
There is nothing wrong about Russia or sharing russian media. Demonization of Russia is crazy and hypocritical. We should start demonizing the USA more, for their wars of agression against Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, Panama and many more. Russia is unfairly demonized, and it is a vicious demonization that is not given to countries that have done far worse to the world, like as the USA.

I don't quite follow the second paragraph. You say

Which I follow, then you say that those unfortunate properties don't apply and give a counterexample (I think it is intended as a counterexample) of

But that seems to be the same as SQL's NULL:

benji=# \pset null NULL

benji=# select 1 + NULL;
?column?

NULL
(1 row)

Which leaves me confused.
> No, it doesn't mean that. [...] It's only a problem once there isn't enough memory to go around for those pages that are in active use.

So it does mean that.

The fact that I said it plainly instead of mentioning private dirty pages gobbling up most of the available ram so any executable readonly pages need to be evicted / read all the time, thrashing the system much earlier than the OOM killer can kick in, doesn't mean that "if apps take up lots of memory, other apps have less" statement is untrue.
A quick look at the project page doesn't inspire confidence in this tool. I see many open issues and pull requests, and very little recent activity.

Caveat emptor.
