Or, maybe, don't use a 60%. How is tapping [ then ] to generate { a time-saver? Just seems like micro-optimization for very little gain.

I use an 80% because I don't actually need the numpad (I can type at full speed using the number row instead of reaching over for the numpad).

Using the arrow key without looking is simple because it's the only thing on the corner and I can return to the homerow easily without looking as well. It's faster for me to reach to it than to remap it to a Capslock (remapped to some other key) plus hjkl.

Instead I'm a gamer, so I set Capslock to activate an extra layer and use WASD for the arrow set so I have a set of arrow keys for either hand.

I like my Fn keys in groups of 4 across the top so I can easily reach for the correct one without looking.
Imagine the UX.
I really want to like this laptop but...

If you go to their twitter, its a constant barrage of angry customers who havent received their orders in over a year.

I dont think im okay with shelling out $3000, waiting possibly over a year, and being told "we are working on it" the entire time.

I personally just went with Tuxedo for a linux first laptop.
> So, does this bill mean that products like MS Office can’t be used in schools because it would force students to use proprietary software? Is it just targeting websites that use extensions that are only usable in a certain browser?

Isn’t it rather that schools can’t force students to use proprietary software?
They can have an Office license but they also have to maintain (or pay someone to) something like LibreOffice.

I spent a year in a German university and all the computers could boot up to windows, Linux or BSD depending on the user’s preference.
> Apple’s laptop hardware still seems to be the gold standard to me. I have 10 year old laptops that still work great.

Last time I looked at second hand laptops. Most of those the +5y old macbooks in the market had huge issues / defects (and also looked like shit) while you could find a lot of decent refurbished thinkpads and HP elitebook from the same era with no advertized defects (and those I bought didn't have any). I am excluding battery life as regarldess of the brand all needed a brand new one.

So they seem to be the gold standard when new. But they certainly don't age so well.
Even if it was invented it would be super expensive.
> That's why you cannot ask any government to protect its citizen digital systems, because there are too much interested in to get security holes for their own benefit...

Any government that currently exists maybe, but not necessarily any government that is possible.

The governmental forms we have now are ancient, designed in a period that pales in comparison to the complexity and power currently available to mankind.

The runtime we are in physically supports improvements, but it appears to not support improvements psychologically - you can test this theory by asking questions of agents within the runtime, and you will discover that there is extreme and almost unanimous opposition to improvements, which to me seems highly counter-intuitive but that is what data suggests.
'last 60 years' doesn't really mean much when it's been obvious in the past 2 decades or so that their capabilities have been deteriorating rapidly compared to what they once were.

They haven't sent an interplanetary science mission in decades, their next-generation vehicles are constantly delayed or unreliable, Nauka was an entire 12 years behind schedule and so on.

Now on top of that, they're under heavy sanctions and are experiencing further brain drain from people fleeing conscription. It's clear that they're having to cut more and more corners to keep up. Plus, for Russia it has only been 30 years, the time under the USSR should not be considered comparable considering that much of their aerospace talent was in/from Ukraine (which is also why Ukraine punched above its weight in the space sector).

Russia also simply hasn't invested into maintaining the necessary pool of talent. We're starting to get to the point where the people who had significant experience from the soviet space program will be starting to become less and less available.

I wasn't referring to the USSR. Had I wanted to refer to the USSR, I would have typed "USSR". My point is that the West doesn't have a monopoly on great ideas and innovation. The existing Russian (and others) state is not a conglomerate of incompetence, and has plenty of advanced engineering feats under her belt.

I am suggesting it is not just disingenuous, but unwise to be so dismissive of Russian capabilities, especially when the geopolitical atmospher is the way it is right now.

> It's not obvious what value ChatGPT has.

This is a blatantly incorrect take. Anyone who can’t see that ChatGPT has real value has blinders on.

It has severe limitations and many quirks, but millions of people are getting value from it.

I use it regularly while developing software. If you learn how to leverage its strengths and are aware of the pitfalls, it isn’t too hard to get value out of.

It is also a good investment to learn how to use these tools, as they will become much more capable and useful over time.
Any plans for a portable Jupterlab Desktop?

I don't see a Portable Version of this software for Windows. I use Anaconda and it has it's own Jupyter but I would not mind having a Portable Desktop version of Jupyterlab that I could just bring up and have it work with the default Python or R interpreter in Conda.

Just built a new rig last week. This isn't at all surprising. Prices are so out of whack right now. $1000 used to be the ceiling for the highest end video cards (like a 1080 Ti), now $1000 is the floor. There are no good current gen (or even previous gen) cards available for under $1000. The 4080 is a horrible value and still regularly listed at $1200-$1400. The 4090 is overkill and sits around $1700-$2200. Even 2 year old tech 3080's are regularly selling for near a grand. AM5 motherboards are insanely priced. Want a 10Gb onboard NIC? Be prepared to shell out $1000 just for the motherboard. Add to all of that, this latest batch of CPUs are just stupid power hungry - like 240w+ under load (except for the non-x variants of AMD 7000 series, just released last month).

It used to be you could buy a lot of computer for $2-3K, now that figure is closer to $5K. These prices, combined with the folks that just went through this pain 2 years ago during the pandemic and yeah you aren't going to see stuff flying off the shelves any time soon.
Consumption taxes are regressive, so this would shift a lot of tax burden from the rich to the poor.
Yeah, right. It's only propaganda when it's coming from the enemy's side.

As an ethnic Russian who has never been to that country and has no love lost for Putin's regime, I am feeling less and less sympathy towards "the West" the longer this shit drags on.

Even though I have absolutely zero responsibility for this war, I was shat upon and called every name in the book from the likes of you pretty much every day for the past year. I'm noticing that it's definitely taking its toll on my worldview.

Your politicians were absolutely fine with Putin's regime when he was building up his power (for 20 years!) and destroying whatever was left of the opposition inside the country, because hey, cheap gas and oil, and money paid for that gas and oil were stolen by his cronies and funneled back into London and New York.

Now that this finally came back to bite you, my friends and relatives are somehow deemed responsible. Fuck off.

Presuming you read the linked study but more or less (and this is argument fuel among The Faithful here ), "time restricted eating" spoken of here is Intermittent Fasting. The "restriction" here is that not a single calorie of anything is consumed outside of an 8 hour window and the 16 remaining hours in the day are nothing but water. Some people even like to do a 18:6 split too.

The hacks in this style of eating is that once you stop putting calories in your mouth, your insulin levels drop and that makes the fat cells in the body more willing to allow lipids into the bloodstream where the liver can make Ketones out of them - hence the term "ketosis" is often seen when reading about intermittent fasting.

There are also small studies, I'd call them anecdotal yet still informative, that demonstrate a raise in GH in response to an IF style eating pattern. Leptin sensitivity/resistance is also positively impacted by this eating style.

If you want to go down a rabbit hole and really geek all the way out on a topic, theres a lot out there to sort through, debunk and sort into useful information. I encourage you to give it a look.

EDIT: For extra credit - it's natural to look at Fasted Training in the same context. The hack here is that when you train at near peak low insulin levels ( or near peak anyhow which takes about 14h of fasting ) your body will suffer in terms of absolute performance but if done correctly you can train burning mostly fat. Theres as much on this subject to sort through as the first one. A whole host of hormonal and health benefits are purported here and I can say from experience I believe most of them having seen it myself.
Depending on your political philosophies many people are looking for a much more progressive tax structure, the one you outlined is very regressive if not done very carefully. I am not commenting on whether that is right or wrong, but that is why many would be against that.

No, not at all. These projects were driven without a direct, professional need. That grew them so much, that they became viable in professional settings as well. Nim could get big too, but it has a lot of competition to overcome. Python and Linux were seeded and nurtured in education; that's hard to beat.

I'm just stating that lack of action is an action. I'm not arguing the points you're asking me questions about.

> How do you know that was an unanticipated effect?

Wanting to support Berlin so that the communist regime would eventually collapse might be a desired outcome, but the way it happened couldn't have been anticipated, it could at most be wished for. Wishfulness is the very thing the parent article is arguing against.

> How can you tell a priori wether intervening will have good results?

You try to learn history and figure out parameters for successful predictions?

> Moreover, if you're a decision-maker, will you bear any cost if your decision turns out wrong? If not, how is that supposed to be ethical?

I don't disagree? Ethics effects exist to encourage people to take precautions when it comes to the effects of their actions or inactions. There are obviously entrenched interests that push back against ethical consequences.
Recently, and especially with this gen, the line between i5 and i7 is coming down to the amount of cores itself not the single core peformance. Basically 14 Cores, 20 Threads @3.5GHz vs 16 Cores, 24 Threads @3.4GHz.

What used to be the i7 was (like with the i7-7700) now occupied by the i9 line

In creating and enhancing XTRAN, my Expert System that knows over 40 computer languages, I got tired of hard-coding parsers, so I created a parsing engine that takes EBNF (specified in more friendly syntax I created), parses the EBNF to an internal format, and then when asked to parse a language, executes its EBNF in order to parse. I would be interested to know if anyone else is executing EBNF to parse.

Since code must come back out after XTRAN rules have created / changed / translated it, I also created a rendering engine that is responsible for rendering XTRAN's internal format of language content out as text source code, complete with extensive styling controls. The rendering engine is also driven by EBNF, which it executes in order to render code content to text source code.

If you're interested in learning more, see WWW.XTRAN-LLC.com. I'll be glad to answer any questions.
They actually do know about all the loopholes you're using. Using a loophole isn't about changing how you file your taxes, it's changing how you live your life to be more tax-efficient.
I absolutely agree with this. I have CPA's and lawyers do my taxes and I still get the IRS arguing about what I owe and by the time they tell me I am already receiving a penalty. Battling it out with the IRS takes ages and the IRS courts that's really a thing are only open part of the year which can drag things out even longer leading to more penalties even if they agree the original amount was incorrect.

I should have picked a milder example. If in the future, civilian oversight has burgeoned to be powerful-enough that it impedes what law-enforcement feels it’s entitled to, then civilian oversight will have passed traditional American powers.

Your metaphor is begging the question, how do we get there from here? America has the institution of juries and grand juries, and in a very small number of police departments, long-term officials with regular contact with the department.

I suppose juries and grand juries are the path toward overpowered civilian roles rather than today’s meager civilian oversight boards.
Exactly it’s the same with laptops.

Did you miss the whole equality vs equity thing.
> That information is already there! It's already being calculated!

This is a common misconception, especially on HN. For the average tax payer this might be truthy, but only insofar as the IRS is aware of certain tax events. If you had a kid, the IRS might be able to correlate that you and someone had a child, and they might, depending on the county registrar, be able to determine you're married. This gets even more complicated with business interests and finance in the small business realm.

That's to say, the system you described probably isn't ever going to materialize. The IRS is not some omnipotent entity. They're going to need something akin to TurboTax that asks you a bunch of questions and juxtaposes that with things they know for certain like your net income and net losses that are reported throughout the year. That system also needs to be able to read and adapt to evolving tax code as time goes on.
I am sure there is some study somewhere that samples rich people rather than others.
> I can't think of any structure centralized structure that wouldn't eventually be corrupted.

Do you mean this literally? Like, if you were to start with a clean slate, free of all norms, premises, and axioms, you couldn't design a system that wouldn't be corrupted (which is different from a system being imperfect)?

Heck, one obvious approach is to involve citizens, and make the death penalty a consequence for corruption in certain roles. I think this would substantially alter people's behavior.

Something else we could do in conjunction with this: start teaching the public how to think skilfully so they are not so easily misled by people who are taught such things (in schools not available to the public).

Cool I've watched the same talk, did you use tailwind? No, well you can define your own css classes that combine multiple tailwind classes but using the same postcss syntax. Bootstrap philosophy is, writing css is too hard so we did it for you. With tailwind css is no longer hard and it lets you focus on designing, instead of changing the main color or your bootstrap theme.
7) Yoda logic
I agree. I’ve been using the <dialog> element at work for a few years now (with the polyfill). At first I experimented with using the returnValue, but as time went on I completely abandoned it in favor of just saving the form values in memory on confirm, and working with that.

Basically I listen to the submit event of my <form method="dialog"> which I preventDefault, then I close the dialog with a value of "confirmed" and fire a custom "confirm" event with the form values as detail. As for dismissing the form (e.g. the top x-mark or a cancel button), I have a non-submit button which resets the form, closes the dialog with a value of the empty string. I also listen to the cancel event on the dialog (e.g. user presses the escape key) and run the same dismiss method.

I guess my returnValue is therefor the empty string on cancel and a static "confirmed" on confirm, but honestly I’ve never actually used it outside of my initial experimentation when I felt like I should.
Sure but would that make it wrong for an essayist to write about it if it happened to them? Writing about personal experiences seems to be a substantial portion of this guy's beat.
I’m tempted to say this is a result of the politics of our times, but I guess extremism has been around forever.

In this case they are taking what is, at its core, may be a pretty good idea, and then they load it down with rhetoric. And hence guarantee to turn off people with slightly different opinions, and confuse people who haven’t the slightest clue what they are talking about.

The first thing I do after starting a notebook is select 'new console for notebook' which brings up a live console underneath or next to your notebook window as you prefer. The if you hit the little bug icon in the notebook toolbar (on the right, next to the kernel), and the other bug icon in the right sidebar, you get full interactive control and views of everything.

Jetbrains' DataSpell has the nicest notebook UI in my experience - lots of database integrations, R as well as Python, endlessly configurable. It's a relatively new product and still hiccups on some things, eg iPywidget and other interactive notebook tools.
Also, I am not exactly sure how you price police interactions, that sounds like a fun one to theorize about because of all the different factors. But probably a poor idea.

After Trump’s tax law increasing the standard deduction, about 14% itemize. https://taxfoundation.org/standard-deduction-itemized-deduct...

So what you’re proposing would work for most individuals. I don’t agree with the “accounting firm handling all this” for the remaining thought (unless you count TurboTax as an accounting firm).
Somewhere around 90% of Americans take the standard deduction and the IRS is in a better position to judge eligibility for most of the adjustments outside that (e.g. EITC) than many taxpayers are. There's always going to be a way to fill out your own taxes for people with complicated tax situations, so there's no harm in simplifying things and reducing mistakes/fraud for the vast, vast majority of people.
