I play on controller for 90% of my interactions.

- with L1, R1 shoulder buttons, I'm able to map ALT (L1), SHIFT (R1), ALT+SHIFT(L1+R1) for directional buttons UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, X, Y giving me a combined total of 32 buttons.

- With Right Shoulder, I'm able to map CTRL, and gain an additional 32 hotkey buttons by combining it with L/R (Alt/Shift)

- I leave Left Shoulder free for targeting commands (L2+Down for nearest, Up for mob targeting me, L/R for selection, and so on).

- L3 (analog click) and R3 (analog click) buttons do other things, such as activate mouse click under my crosshair, or in combination with CTRL/ALT/SHIFT do more, like mount+dismount.

It's very easy... my main struggle is with targeting which FFXIV has gotten down pat. ConsolePort addon solves this in part, but isn't perfect. Blizzard has to work this out, then it will be fine.

In fact, it is superior to a keyboard/mouse combination because I can have 64 commands on hotkey, plus movement + look separate from that and Left/Right mouse clicks.

How many buttons can you press on the keyboard without lifting your fingers away from WASD or movement keys?
I will, thanks for the positive feedback!
My driving instructor in the UK taught me two things: 1) when you're in the reverse, you are already at the bottom of the food chain so there is no need to indicate, basically do not move until you're 100% certain it safe to do so, 2) when you follow a car, keep your distance, when the car in front of you stops, stop so far that you can see their rear tires so you have enough space to drive around.

Based on those two rules when the situation described here happens, there's only one solution: I will stand there in reverse and wait for you to back up if you park in my bumper while I'm willing to reverse into a spot because, f** you, keep your distance, thank you very much.

I'm not going to think for you. You think for yourself. Maybe the car in front of you wants to reverse park and that's why they drive so slow...
I was taught to always back-in to a parking spot when possible. Reason being, backing up (now or later) takes slightly longer, and while you have the extra ~30 seconds now, you may not have the luxury of that extra time when you need to leave (e.g. in some sort of evacuation order). So, spend the time now to save yourself later.

Edit: I was taught this by my dad who did a lot of work at chemical plants and oil refineries. Probably made more of a difference for him than for a software engineer like myself. Regardless, the principle still applies.
Very nice. I might even get a sticker :)

One thing that IMO is missing is the audio playback option for readings. This would've greatly facilitated remembering readings. AWS Polly is very easy to integrate with and it costs next to nothing. /nudge /nudge.
Thanks for link, that is very exciting if it works as expected.

Curious what will enable this in M2 vs M1. Looking at https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102142/0100/Nested-v... it appears to indicate nested virtualization is in Armv8.3-A and both M1 and M2 are ARMv8.5-A according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M2

Will be interesting to see what other arm cpus gain this with the Linux patches.

Have you used (non-nested) virtualization at all on Asahi? If so what is your experience with performance and overall thoughts so far?
I'm willing to believe this, but want to take the space to beg people not to attempt to back into diagonal parking against the one-way flow of traffic.
For people like me that are surprised/confused as heck at the headline how an SOS message can cause a fire: think smoke signals, not galileo signals.
even a 128 core part made like that will perform pretty atrociously. scaling up the core count without scaling the cache count means you have a lot of cores waiting for memory. also when you have 128 cores, you almost certainly need more memory channels to have enough bandwidth.
Why construction cost is becoming a societal issue
> If Putin truly wanted to conquer Ukraine, he would have taken out the electricity and water supply, things of that nature.

This is exactly what Putin is doing.

> This is not Ukraine vs Russia, this is the US/NATO vs Russia

If this was _actually_ US/NATO vs Russia the war would be over in a matter of months.
Here's the end of the actual study, which sums up the "why" decently.

>Our working hypothesis now is that horseflies are attracted to equid hosts owing to a combination of odour at a distance, then size of the animal contrasted against the sky or vegetation at a middle distance. But at close range, where they can no longer see the body's outline, flies make a visual switch to local features. If these are small dark objects contrasted against a light or white background, the horsefly no longer recognizes this as a host target and veers away. The contrast of stripes and their relatively small size are therefore the key elements of how stripes operate to thwart fly landings.
I don't think thats correct.. C++ has UB because of backwards compatibility, which has origins to design choices of C in the 70s. Its not like it is optimized for performance above all else, it had immediate needs to be close to metal, and that is the best they could do back then, there was not some "strongly typed" versus "performance" debate happening at the time.

The creator of C++ would love for there to be safer abstractions, but has the baggage of the past to carry.

> But for just about every other reason, it is impractical.

Personally find backing in much easier that the opposite. You have far more control and manoeuvrability at low speeds when your turning wheels are at the “back” of a vehicle rather than the front. It takes very little time to get used to using mirrors etc when reversing, and then becomes trivial to put cars into all manner of awkward spots that simply impossible to get into when driving forwards.
To me the most impressive part is what incredible job they did in the years of intel dominance. They almost bulldozered themselves.
This reminds me of an old Roald Dahl story, "The Great Automatic Grammatizator". A man creates an electric computer that can write short stories in a few minutes (this being written in 1953, when electric computers were just becoming a thing), and starts churning out magazine submissions. Having made a name for himself as a writer (several names, in fact), he then upgrades it to write novels. Finally, he starts offering existing writers the chance to license their names to the machine's works. It's a good read.

Of course, the situation isn't quite the same, largely because unlike the story the magazine here can identify AI submissions, but the similarities are nevertheless interesting.
Definitely pro/rel needs a healthy minor league.
These statistics are fundamentally untrustworthy. Nobody reports crimes if they know that the police and the DA don't care.
True, but password managers can potentially reduce the risk of phishing, since they're the ones autofilling. There's probably work that would improve the UX here but even still.

Of course, it's not nearly as good as being totally phishing resistant like U2F, but IMO it's a big enough win that we should still be pushing password managers very hard.
You're making an assumption that the goal of photography is to perfectly capture an existing scene. I and other photographers I know don't view it that way. The camera is just another means to be creative. The skill is creating something. It's also why cell phone, dslr, mirrorless discussions typically seem superficial to me. The best photographers I know can take any camera and create art.
I'd definitely be arguing, via a lawyer, that "negative" is in the eye of the beholder. Employees do not benefit from layoffs, shareowners do, for example.

How can reservation work without knowing the caste? You also fill it in every damned form (recently was called back to daughters school to fill it when I just left it as Hindu)
You have around 50 years to work and live. It's a waste of time to chase for non-DRY things.

This is a warning!

If you build stuffs which couldn't be reusable, it's useless.

By that definition, anyone who can DRY things is a software engineer.
I thinking reading fast is a sign of immaturity. When I was a teen I swallowed books whole. I absorbed sentences in a glance. But as I've got older I've slowed down. I re-read more. I choose more carefully. I get deeper into things. Fast reading is for skimming over the surface of things. Which is fine but definitely not a sign of maturity.
QUIC involves encryption though. If that’s not needed in a given scenario the overhead might not be desirable.

But otherwise, yes, it addresses many of these problems.
How much support do you actually get ?

Tried once to see what access to a human I had with a personal GCP account billed a few hundred bucks every months, and the answer was “not much”, except for specific technical categories defined in the contact form.
The only thing I'd value out of the current crop of AIs is whether they could decipher and contextualize other people's code to essentially create comments of context in codebases. That would be worth it. I think the general ecosystem would greatly benefit from such a thing
Trezor (cryptocurrency hardware wallet, and my employer) also supports U2F and FIDO.

If you use Trezor for FIDO, you can re-create it using the same recovery/seed phrase to re-create your lost Trezor.
They also make sure you pay an extra hard fine when they do manage to identify you after all.
Ubuntu Flavors/Spins Will No Longer Be Able to Install Flatpak by Default
Even this is ambiguous though, or at least, I didn't get it when reading the headline in the article either. Smoke signals just don't even come to mind when someone says signal, it's like having to think of network cable when someone says "dog strangled by cat", to me at least!
Someone will need to create a certification body for organic content. Similar to organic produce, content will be certified human.

Linux Storage Stack Diagram Updated for Linux 6.2
I doubt it.

The physical infrastructure required to do this at any scale makes it prohibitively expensive. I've rarely spent more than 15 minutes at a fast charger. Modern BEVs have a pretty impressive charging curve, and with the extensive charging network that is available, at least in Norway, you can optimize this further. I think there's a good analogy to IP over Avian Carriers. You can technically get super high bandwidth, but the latency kills you. Latency in this case being the physical battery swap stations.

Having swappable batteries on the other hand, that might have some benefit. I don't really need a 82kWh battery pack in my car for my every day needs. It just adds a lot of weight. I also think this is what Nio is aiming for. I doubt they see battery swapping as a solution to fast charging, more to let customers have some flexibility in terms of battery capacity, and to make people still nervous about battery longevity calm down a little.
LinkedIn is a strange place indeed. People interacting like overexcited toddlers, banalities are shared like life-changing epiphanies, people are congratulating themselves on jobs well-done.

I considered writing a short story about an alien race that prepares for first contact with earth solely from learning about humans on LinkedIn.
Would it kill them to put a radio morse code link in the cabin?

It could be done with $3 worth of parts, plus a solar cell or dynamo.

What is with this insane desire to rough it as living without emergency comms is somehow nobler than having them? There’s no reason why every log cabin should not have a HF voice link to anywhere.

I think that in the real old days there were probably tons of people walking everywhere. You just had to sit down in a trail and somebody would walk by. Wild places today would seem deserted by comparison.
Why would you say this? It sounds like pointless gate keeping (ie, artistic photographs can't use a cell phone). I think the art of photography is bigger than it has ever been. Every kid has a great camera in their pocket now. I would have killed for that as a kid. Instead we had to pay for and use disposable cameras.
When they’re both more than an hour away from you, heading out to the wrong one is in no way any more suspicious than heading out to the right one.
TST has a good feature set, but it is incredibly slow with a large number of tabs, to the point of being unusable on older hardware.

Sideberry has every feature of TST I ever used (and a few more), and is reasonably fast.
If you told your phone "hey google, take me to cabin trail" and ended up at a hiking trail, would you suspect it was the wrong place?
Before reading the article i actually was thinking that sounds bizarre. After reading it though it's clear this guy really messed up. Even burning the tree for a signal would not have been the last resort.. there are so many things he could have done even after leaving unprepared.

I'm super curious what his level of experience is. It makes a difference of he was just some novice who wanted to take a walk on a sunny day or if he really thought he was prepared.

That bill seems huge untill you see the scale of damage. Over 200 square acres is just incredible to me.
The penalty serves as a strong deterrent for other hikers making half-assed plans and imposing their rescue costs on taxpayers.
Web standards should specify the semantics of HTML, CSS, etc, not dictate how exactly the browser operates. Limiting extensibility of all browsers just because there is some webextensions standard is ridiculous. Similarly, browsers should be able to ignore user-hostile parts of specs like the HSTS spec trying to dictate that users cannot override the certificate validitation.

In fact, even how websites are rendered should ultimately be up to how the user has configured his browser even if some spec says otherwise. This includes being able to install effective ad blockers that remove elements and deny requests that should be there according to the standard.

Think of web standards more as the definition of a common language between websites and browsers and not as a rulebook for either.
> assuming The daily beast is a reliable source
I'm increasingly of the opinion that anonymity is the root cause of the problem.

In the real world we have reputations that follow us. Bad actors are identified, their reputations proceed them. It seems to me the problem is that there is no reputation that follows you in the online world. Barrier to entry is low, consequences for bad behavior are low. When a bad actor is caught, they simply create a new account and start over again.

I don't see any way to solve this problem online without non-anonymous "hard to get" accounts that are traceable to real people, and whose digital reputation follows you. Digital bad actors can be quickly identified, and ignored.

I think we can support a mixed anonymous / non-anonymous internet. Dealing with anonymous users would be no different than dealing with a person in a back alley -- caveat emptor. Most of us would choose only to do business with "non anonymous" accounts. In a short amount of time commercial internet use would quickly move over to the non-anonymous side of the internet.
It's possible the black or white dye attracts or repels flies, but the contrasting triangles pattern should show if that were the issue.

“Makes it seem punitive” um… are you concerned about that? It’s the whole point to be punitive. And there are supposed to be life altering consequences for actions we take.

Certainly there are problems with corporations not bearing the costs of the problems / issues they create. But that means we need better laws to capture that, not that this guy was unjustly punished.
For people more used to the SI system, 230 acre is about 93ha.

I have no doubt Twitter usage increased during the World Cup, that would've happened with or without Musk. It's the most watched event in the world for a reason, especially the final game.

I very much doubt numbers stayed even remotely the same after World Cup has ended.

You think that's bad, 20 years ago I was on a train from London (I forget which station) to Liverpool Lime St station, and somewhere around Nottingham — over an hour into the trip — another passenger asked me if we were going to get to Liverpool Street Station soon.

Liverpool Street Station is in London. Liverpool Lime Street is in Liverpool.
>While he carried a cell phone, he had no service

I find that most people have no idea that the GPS used by phones for positioning has nothing to do with normal mobile signal, and will still work in the most remote areas of the world.

Mapping apps have a rough map of the world always locally available, and you can download specific areas to use offline. There is no functional difference between this and a dedicated GPS device, as implied by the article (and the verdict?)

Am I wrong?
This response is what many non-Americans (at least my european bubble) pityingly look down at. "I heard in America they have to put a warning on the microwave ovens to not put any live animals inside" followed by some hearsay about people microwaving their dog "to dry them" and then winning millions in court.

In any case, this reasoning shows a worrying lack of personal responsibility. Often ascribed to US. Do people seriously consider legal steps against a trail-book because names of trails are confusing? More general: do people actually win a court case because a route-app brought them somewhere "dangerous"?
An alternative that would never be
Americans are certainly known for their gung-ho attitude and optimism, but I think you’re making a huge leap to being unprepared for wilderness—that’s a universal issue with most modern people unaccustomed to being away from their full-featured support environment. A quick Google turns up plenty of British people getting themselves into the same predicament.
> And to head off environmental concerns, Living Carbon’s modified poplar trees are all female, so they won’t produce pollen. While they could be pollinated by wild trees and produce seeds, Mr. Mellor says they’re unlikely to spread into the wild because they don’t breed with the most common poplar species in the Southeast.

Supreme Court admits they're not the best choice to decide the future of the web
Intertia is a big part of the 40 hour standard; I'd anticipate legal structures that start penalising companies that offer different hours.

One of the situations I hear a lot of chatter about is people working 2+ jobs because they can't find the hours to make ends meet. Picking on US retail hours, there seems to have been a 2nd quiet revolution that has gotten the average hours down to 30/week without quite as much bloodshed [0].

It isn't that obvious that the efforts of labour activists have had that much impact. It is unlikely that they have managed to hold back the laws of supply and demand over the long term. If companies got much better results at 60 hours/week or 20 hours/week that is how long people would be working.

Eg, look at how quickly we ended up with mass working form home. It has been a possibility for ~20 years, and it took one shock and suddenly it seems to be embedded as far as it is likely to go. No bloodshed. That is a much bigger win than a 40 hour workweek. I'll sign whatever hours you want me to pretend to work if I can do it from my bedroom. 168 hour/week contract WFH? Works for me I suppose.

There are many many machines out there with x86 soldered CPUs all of them idling at less < 10W. E.g. ASUS PN-series with Celeron CPUs. You can even find them on physical stores. I have a PN40 idles at less than my RPI4b...
There is a standardisation process with multiple stakeholders.

Some stakeholders want hardware devices that are secure even if the OS has been completely compromised - even if they have to trade off usability and price to achieve it.

Other stakeholders think iPhone biometrics are pretty great, and if you've logged in with full credentials and indicated indicate the phone is trusted, going forward the combination of recognised phone + biometrics is good enough, even if it doesn't secure against a compromised OS.

And in a spirit of standardisation and vendor independence, if iphone face recognition is good enough, why shouldn't the face recognition on a phone from Honest Abraham's Used Cars And Android Phones also be good enough?

It is the latter group of stakeholders that are currently ascendant.
If you "plan" an entire trip in wildlife with a single "hey google..." I'd say that you are personally very irresponsible and should or could be charged for any rescue operation.
Does anyone know the comparison between these things in the US:

1. How much does it cost to take off an airplane that shoots a balloon?

2. How much does it cost to shoot a balloon with the aircraft that can shoot it?

3. How much does it cost to build a balloon that has Software Defined Radio+camera and a transmitter/a battery+solar panel for energy+a SoC? (My guess is that this is < $1000)

Why not just send a (< $1000) low cost drone to kill these?
I've been using a Zen2 notebook for the past few years, and was honestly surprised by the processors performance for the first... 3 or 4 months. Then typical updates happened. And some quirks got in the way too. Like it having a decent iGPU that I can't use because the BIOS will only let me pick one of them (down to it not having a mux to pick one or the other? Not sure what's going on there, just that I can't do it). In general it's a great machine, but there's a host of little details that make the experience a bit worse than it should be.

Per my usual update schedule, I'm looking down the line to at least a Zen5(+?) upgrade in a few years time, so I hope they improve this kind of things in the future. However that's entirely up to OEMs deciding to make a good product, and a bit out of AMDs grasp.

In Virginia, suppression costs of the fire are the responsibility of the fire starter even if they take all proper precautions and there is no negligence involved. It's a good law. It protects our national forests. Stories like these make one think twice before starting a fire.

"Even if a person takes all proper precautions and obtains any locally required permits, whoever started the fire is responsible for suppressions costs should the fire escape."
