It’s pretty obvious when an opiate makes you barely able to move and function. Less so when the internet has the same effect.
Google hasn't had layoffs in meaningful quantity.
Yeah, that actually works pretty well! Thanks!
Miracast is, if I'm not mistaken, wireless only which in my mind makes it pretty darn useless.

At least since all wireless implementations I've tried have been very flaky and after the first the initial "this is pretty cool", immediately followed by "ouch, the input lag".

Which then is followed by flaky connections and if on a phone ridiculous battery drain. It is nothing but a source of frustration and waste of time so anytime I hear the word I just tune out.
I don't think it's an API problem, because Scala Worksheets work in VSCode[0] (and in most editors actually).

Astronauts are brave or is it just Science?
I was once adicted to watching the NASA youtube channels and feeds and stuff, I love space. I was watching a spacewalk and was loving it. I loved the adventure and adrenaline and sense of wonder I could have doing that myself. I then realized I could never achieve something that great being who I am. I know I could float off on a wire into space and keep my cool while repairing sections of a space station. Why? Because I have faith in the science that put me there. If you say that you are brave for going into space are you also saying that you were skeptical about the science that put you there? Why send a father of a fmaily into space? Send a grunt software space nerd thrash guy like me? Bu then again I am not brave, I just make pizzas.
Except Tesla's already tanked since Q3, so I don't know that it worked.

> - I would love if VSCode could detect the technologies my project uses and just install/use the proper plugins for me

VSCode does this already, if it detects a new language it suggests installing a new plugin. I don't know the criteria it follows to recommend a plugin, perhaps it only does it with some official plugins, but it has showed me this a few times.
Honestly I think I'll try this next week. I bet if you write "Turn this list of bullet points into a Jira ticket a React engineer would understand:" it'd get you closer than you'd think!
Yes, we believe it is. That Open Robotics got acquired by Intrinsic represents a fantastic opportunity for industry, for startups like us, for academia and for research labs. This article touches on why we believe this can be great for the robotics industry.
Squatter Elon Musk Reportedly No Longer Paying Rent at Twitter
A Technology That Makes Water Out of Air
But why? I am under the impression the Q crowd doesn't tend to be the wealthiest bunch. Tesla was also already selling every car they could make, with like a 6 month backorder. Expanding, or switching, your target market makes no sense if they cannot afford your product, and you have no inventory to sell them anyways.
It is great that Codeberg has taken custody of the Forgejo project, and will use it for their own services. Not only is Forgejo using exclusively FOSS tools now, maybe the additional services that Codeberg offers, like Codeberg Pages, Codeberg CI (based on Woodpecker, FOSS Drone.io alternative) and Translations (based on Weblate) will become very easy integrations to any Forgejo installation.

Start a brand or company based around your work, and sell based on name recognition rather than price/quality/ease of use/timing/whatever.

AI can create art or program. It can write text. And in future, it'll be able to make videos and music too.

But it can't BE someone else, not legally at least. A random AI cannot replace a popular celebrity because its their name that matters the most, not the objective quality of their work. It can't outcompete Disney or Marvel or DC or Nintendo at their own game, because their works are protected by IP laws and sell based on their characters and brands as much as the objective quality of the works.

So don't just draw or write or program in a way that you can be replaced. Do so under your own name/brand, so people pick you over the AI copycats based on your personality and image alone. If you become the next Stephen King or George RR Martin or Markiplier, people will check out your work because it's your work, and no amount of tech can ever compete on that front.
Thanks for engaging in sensible discussion.

I think it’s self evident that very rich people have more capacity for both good and bad, as they have more power in a capitalist society. To debate further there is a debate about capitalism, and whilst I’d like to see more social democracy and less laissez faire, going beyond capitalism is not something I want to jump into…

So I think ideally you’d like to see billionaires give up their wealth voluntarily, right? That seems internally consistent.

I think your last point is a good one, particularly a good response to those on the right who are always against progressive taxation: the cash should not be the only or perhaps even primary incentive. At least for entrepreneurship.

One issue with saying “900m enough” etc. is that often billionaires (or rich folk) are really just rich on paper. If your company is private it’s not necessarily easy to liquidate, for example. And maybe sometimes you want people to “own” lots of money in the sense that they need to steward it (maybe you want them to be an Angel investor, for example).

I guess I took you away a bit from “unethical” to “how do we solve it?” And it is still valuable to have ethics that cannot be enforced, because you want to be ethical yourself and be able to advise others.
I liked way more the UI of Atom than VSCode. I cannot stand VSCode UI.
For the nostalgia of it: https://www.2600.com/payphones
Thankfully neither emacs nor vim have built-in tracking, so we may never know.
When it can do that, it's already too late.
I completely and wholeheartedly agree. These companies always love to present themselves as a public space, while simultaneously leveraging their control over it.

And I definitely prefer social media that support long form posts and contextual discussions instead of these weird loosely linked twitter threads.
AI art and reactions to it remind me of open source software. Yes, it's chipping into someones profits. But it's a benefit for vast majority and society as a whole. It's democratizing what was scarce and expensive. I really can't be mad at that.

Ultimately those who are able to integrate it into their creative process will be the winners. There will always be small niche for those who oppose it out of principle.
>> Prompt - When providing prompts, get creative! Try your favorite artists, instruments like saxophone or violin, modifiers like arabic or jamaican, genres like jazz or rock, sounds like church bells or rain, or any combination. Many words that are not present in the training data still work because the text encoder can associate words with similar semantics. The closer a prompt is in spirit to the seed image And BPM, the better the results. For example, a prompt for a genre that is much faster BPM than the seed image will result in poor, generic audio.

(1) Is there a corpse the keywords were collected from?

(2) Is it possible to model the proximity of the image to keywords and sets of keywords?
Yeah they attend the standup. No they don't tend to tell me not to do something, they just say what they're working on and talk to everyone about their current projects too.

Poe's Law in action.

I can imagine this being a reality for any developer that doesn't need to spend a majority of time in the terminal, or is more comfortable using a mouse than a keyboard (which _is_ a productivity drawback).

What are you typically developing? How often do you spend in the terminal? Are you at all familiar with modal editing? Have you tried alternative editors, like Neovim, Emacs, or any of their related distributions?

I went the trajectory from Goland -> VSCode -> Neovim. Goland -> VSCode, was a downgrade, personally. Goland/VSCode -> Neovim was surprisingly drastic upgrade.
I worked around some of the vscode folk, there are a lot of them there who do it out of love for the product and the betterment of developer tooling.

Someone should write up the story of how it started, and how it got to where it is. The backstory is fascinating.
Brackets and Atom were two of the most influential developer tools in my life. Former made me fall in love with the web and the latter allowed me to ship some of my most impactful projects whilst I was in college. I don't think I'd have managed to finish, let alone start writing them had Atom and its amazing marketplace of extensions not been present. Sure, it was slow as hell on my modest Toshiba laptop but I still loved it. And no denying how it paved way for even bigger projects like the Electron framework and Visual Studio Code.

I will cherish those fond memories. Thanks a lot to all the individuals who contributed to Atom and its ecosystem—take a bow!
I use Archive.ph, Internet Archive and Pinboard.
I don’t think that’s how such a system would work, right? It would most likely mean higher taxes all the way up. Otherwise you’d get all sorts of tax avoidance tricks.
Ask HN: Recommendations for good editors/IDEs that will live for 30 years
The news today about archiving Atom project saddens me. I moved away from Atom to VScode a long time ago but what if VScode is archived someday. What if I was still tied to Atom? I can't imagine the disruption it is gonna cause in my development workflow.

As someone who days software programming day and night, I am looking for recommendations on good editors/IDEs that will live for another 30 years or more. I don't want to wake up one day and find out that my favorite editor is getting archived! Recommendations?
I also used Atom a fair bit but moved on to Sublime. RIP.
What's the end game for Jack? He publicly admits circumventing federal aviation security (PIA) system. How is he not going end up jailed?
Other companies seem to have success with being as ambivalent and silent as possible (with careful PR) while Elon seems to believe his hold on existing customers is strong enough so he can somewhat alienate them without loosing them.

We will see if that works out.
Fixing the last 5% requires that you understand 100% of all. And understanding is the main value added by programmer, not typing characters into text editor.

I've used pro* C for a couple of things (in banking and utilties, 1990s) where people wanted interactive batch functionality for something more complex than you'd generally put in a shell script. I think most of the pro* C usage came from pre Oracle 7 when PL/SQL didn't exist.
One of their IT suppliers posted it on a local website. Since then, I haven't found another gig like that. It's actually not confidential, the project is for Air France-KLM

> Both tesla and spaceX are famously structured internally specifically to handle musk and his ideas, in the sense that they will have a team dedicated to listening to him then basically doing the minimum viable thing to make him think his ideas have been implemented.

Elon didn't design Starship – SpaceX engineering teams did. Why don't ULA's engineers do something like Starship, is it because they aren't capable? I don't think that's fair; I think many engineers at ULA would love to do something like Starship, but Tory Bruno won't let them. And why is that? Well, I think Tory would love it if ULA could do something like Starship too, but he only has as much money as Boeing and Lockheed Martin are willing to give him, and he can only spend it on what they feel comfortable spending it on. And as far as Boeing and Lockmart go, why risk billions on some high-risk commercial space venture, when there are plenty of far safer big juicy defense contracts to chase instead?

That's the thing that Elon brings to SpaceX – expansive requirements, but also a willingness to risk billions in pursuing them. Gwynne Shotwell and Elon Musk make a good team, because she balances that out with pragmatism, organisation, management efficiency, customer focus. But, imagine if Elon had died suddenly 10 years ago – would Starship still be where it is today? As excellent an executive as Gwynne is, if it was all up to her, she might not have been wiling to make as big and risky bets as Elon has.

So I think this idea that all that Elon brings to the table is capital and PR is very mistaken. The other thing he takes to the table, is a willingness to take big risks which few others would, and the direction he gives to his teams to chase the limits of what is currently possible rather than settling for what is more obviously feasible. Sometimes, it all blows up in his face; other times, it has been a recipe for immense success. But, in that regard, both the success and the failure are coming from the same place.
Science Images of 2022
> I don't think the parent was calling people people cheerleaders merely for defending him on any level.

Ah, I definitely read it that way. The use of “cheerleaders” leaves little room for ambiguity, I think.

I was watching a brilliant talk from someone quite famous in the nerd world and he was talking about Steve Jobs and the two things he brought to business… paraphrasing, one about being a visionary, and the other about… let’s say “strong management”. I do wonder if you’re right, I hope it’s possible to be nice and great though. Maybe it’s just harder.
Aren't only clients aupported for Parsec on Linux?
I'm sure it's not a first event, but it seems Elon gets progressively more scared of antifa, which this driver looked like (possibly using uber/lyft as decoy).
Buddy, not everybody shares your weird Elon obsession.

There are interesting phenomena to discuss here, but Elon's mood swings aren't one of them.
Initial tests in a medium size codebase shows a 15% speed improvement, both in speed and some platform benchmarks. which is great. kudos to the team working on this.
“Loved by founders.” Who cares? I’m not a “founder” or any other kind of boss. Seems smarmy.
We need final solution for these people. Cheeky optimism is a capital crime when everything going to hell.
All of the apps I've ever installed have worked. The longest i've spent tinkering was to get gpay working after root, and I was trailblazing. The procedure I wrote then is still effective.

The only non-working app i've ever encountered was called "cats and soup" (an idle game) and I just had to hide lucky patcher.

In total I'd say I spent about 4 hours total on it. Sure it's more than the 5 minutes for w10Privacy but I get significantly more out of it, such as yt vanced, lucky patcher inapp payment emulation, OASP mods, and xposed and magisk modules, not to mention system-wide adblock.

Compare that to clicking on the cast icon and selecting a TV.
There's a slightly different approach with a similar outcome: sharing the keyboard and mouse between two machines.

Software used to be called Synergy, but that went commercial, so there's a fork called barrier.

Spot on. Otherwise it’s all virtue signalling.
There was a running joke about this on the Emacs irc channels.

"I use Linux. One of the libraries that Emacs can use to communicate with the hardware."
The same applies to literally all other offerings.
If the other party ceases to do business with you, you're just SOL. Not even a custom domain will protect you from that, as your register can effectively terminate it without releasing the domain.

It's always a question if risks, and they're miniscule for both GitHub and gitlab
> I've always found that stat to be misleading, as it uses the word "responsible" in a very unconventional way

I used that word, while the original article[1] and report[2] use "linked to". Maybe you'll find that less misleading.

> GHG emissions come from fossil fuels extracted by these companies, even though the companies themselves aren't the ones using the fossil fuels nor producing the GHGs.

That's addressed in the report. Usage of their products makes up the majority of emissions, but it's not true that companies don't use the fuels or emit GHGs.

> Scope 3 emissions account for 90% of total company emissions and result from the downstream combustion of coal, oil, and gas for energy purposes.

Direct operational emissions (scope 1) are also taken into account. These "are attributed to the extraction and production of oil, gas, and coal."

> I fail to see how China Coal (top 1), Saudi Aramco (2nd), or Gazprom (3rd) could do anything about their process to significantly reduce the amount of emmisions from their products.

Oh, they can do plenty. From reducing their own operational emissions and optimizing the refinement of their products, to diversifying their business strategies to avoid these emissions in the first place. How about investing their vast resources into driving climate technology forward? These companies should be the first to invest in new technology, instead of startups having to claw their way into the market.

How about we stop the growth of coal production in developing countries? If China alone would avoid making the same mistakes the West did, it would have a huge impact.

But you're conveniently building a strawman that addresses only fossil fuel producing companies. Let's ignore these and focus on other industries. Are there no changes these companies can do to significantly reduce their emissions? I doubt that very much. Changing how these companies operate would have a far greater positive effect than what any tech startup, or group of individuals, can do.

> Other solutions from climate tech like better electricity production and storage needs to happen simultaneously, not after by "getting our priorities straight".

I never said that other solutions don't need to happen simultaneously. But it's clear that the brunt of the responsibility is on corporations and governments.

Right. That is their choice. But most of those artists didn't choose to make their art public domain.
Not really. Windscreen heating is quite common in the industry, and the patents lie with the glass suppliers (No Vehicle Company builds their glass themselves). Most common techniques are thin tungsten wires or a heatable thin metal layer which additionally acts as IR-reflection.
Thanks for sharing this. First time I read it, and the accuracy of Yishan's predictions, made back in April, are incredibly spot on. Phenomenal analysis as well on the difference between censoring ideas versus censoring behaviours. Great read.
I cannot stand VSCode UX/UI. Not sure how this is not an issue for everyone. Maybe I'm just too picky. For this kind of things I don't use VSCode:

- The right side bar is "dynamic". Most of the time it's the Explorer showing the directories and files, but when I try to search for something, though, it becomes the Search sidebar. Same for all the potential sidebars (Source Control, Run and Debug, etc.)

- Everything is a plugin. That means I need to carefully check who's the author of the plugin, probably check as well the source code to avoid using malware, etc.

- Everything is a plugin. That means I need to craft a set of plugins in order to work in certain projects. I prefer JetBrain's approach

- No floating windows. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I prefer that, for instance, Settings to be opened in its own window, instead of opening a new tab in my editor. Also all the Settings in VSCode are on the same "page" (sure, whenever you scroll, the left-side grouping of Settings is updated accordingly, but imho it's difficult for me to focus on the section I need to work on)
I think there's a difference in the approaches. Emacs (and vim though I use the former) is like an old multi tool that has been with you on every programming or technical journey you've ever made. Scars, patches, customizations and everything else. It fits like an old glove and in most (though not all) cases, this comfort and the resulting productivity is far greater than a new editor that does "everything right" out of the box.
