Put simply, the land is fertilized with petrochemical fertilizers that come from oil and have a heavy carbon Footprint, the automated equipment that harvests it and moves it to the processor burns a lot of diesel. It's not as if the corn just springs up, there are costs.
They do not want you to swipe-close all apps, and used to very publicly ask people to stop doing that every year during iOS keynotes. They want you to trust iOS to swap apps in and out as needed for performance, and all you're doing by forcing the apps to close is ensuring slower startup next time you use them, since they'll be launched from scratch rather than restored from cache. So this is not a "missing feature," it is you using the system in a way they don't support. They won't likely add the feature you want, but you could consider leave the apps alone, and only swipe-closing them if you want privacy.
I really miss the 90s version of Neal. Snow crash was foundational/awesome. Then he just went weirder and weirder and weirder.

I have used dedicated key pads for video/photo editing on my desktop mac for many years. I’ve found that what matters most to make it more efficient and enjoyable is the quality of the key switches.

I started with a Genovation CP24 that triggers macros in Keyboard Maestro. I was very happy with the setup, but when Stream Deck arrived I got the big one and dove into making it work for me. Stream Deck is pretty impressive but the switches on the Gennovation are just better, so I went back. With the Gennovation a finger can just reach where it needs and feel that the click has been done. I could never get that level of comfort with the Stream Deck keys.

I also found that I preferred just making a paper label and popping it under the cover worked better that the cute Stream Deck key system. I can very quickly make paper labels that visually group similar keys. I can also make a key that needs to stand out from the rest. (Such as my universal delete key that works in all applications – saves me a lot of time but I had to learn to not be hitting it by accident.) Once I have labeled my keys just as I like, I don’t change them so the Stream Deck system seems like overkill.

I now have two Genovation CP24’s and one CP48 hooked up to my mac. I am so dependent on them that I browsed eBay to pick up some spares incase I ever need them.

Keyboard Maestro is the other indispensable element to my system. I has it’s quirks but seems to me that everyone should know it (or the PC equivalent) backward and forward. I have about 50 macros that get used every day. I have 252 macros in Keyboard Maestro right now. (I keep a lot of old ones around to serve as notes for making new ones, or for when software updates make one not work.) I can work on other peoples machines but I REALLY love using mine. There is just nothing like having a dedicated key that does a series of steps that you need done very often. It frees up my mind. Some of my macros in DaVinci Resolve do many operations without me having to think about stepping through each one. Same with Pixelmator Pro.
> You own failings are due to you lying to yourself about how much you eat.

False. How much you eat is only indirectly related to energy partitioning, which decides if that food energy will be burned or stored. Trust me, I've tried more than you and am more obsessed with the topic :)

You probably decreased carbs and PUFAs significantly as part of "eating less."

> Humans are not able to break the laws of thermodynamics. If you consume less than you burn, you will lose weight no matter what.

Ah, the ol' accounting tautology :)

Of course you're right, but of course it has nothing to do with the topic. "Being in an energy deficit" does not necessarily come from "eating less" or "exercising more" and eating less or exercising more do not guarantee a deficit.

Turns out the human body is full of miraculous biochemistry, it's not an oven.
I'm not that knowledgeable in this department, but: if the BDFL is really hurting the usability of their library / service, can't it just be forked by more benevolent actors?
The only other options is the client to poll the server periodically

Another option is to open an idle connection dedicated to this and for a server to stop doing what wasn’t asked for. These legacy protocols always have been “all first thoughts slapped together and then some afterthoughts on top of that”.

The argument is against individual motor vehicles at current sizes, because they are simply incompatible with this goal:

> Mass transit that actually works - yes, yes, yes, and please-for-the-love-of-God.

You simply cannot design an environment to where everyone can have their own F150 and still have things be within walking/cycling distance and still have public transit operating at sufficient frequency to make it “work”.
I can't comment on ARM because all of my workloads are x86, but the Bitnami containers are almost always a good bet: https://bitnami.com/stacks/containers

Currently I build all of my language runtime containers myself (such as Java, Python, .NET, Node and so on) for the sake of simplicity and common tools, but when I'm dealing with something more complex to configure or turnkey software (think along the lines of Keycloak, MinIO, RabbitMQ, Redis, as well as databases like MariaDB or PostgreSQL), then I often just go with what Bitnami is offering. Here's their GitHub with a bit more information about why someone might use their images: https://github.com/bitnami/containers

Of course, do have a look at their instructions, because in the case of some of their images there can be some differences from the alternatives, for example: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/bitnami-mar... (title is tongue in cheek, but in short, the official MariaDB image uses "/var/lib/mysql" and Bitnami MariaDB image uses "/bitnami/mariadb" for persistence; that tripped me up because I glanced over it, as the environment variables were the same)
I thought it was odd as well that this is coming from the FTC. Does it stem from their authority with regard to antitrust legislation?

The US have a lot of positive: large empty spaces, some of the best rivers in the world, a really good national park and forest office and interesting trails, a lot of boulders, a lot of different climate, and nice/impressive city centers.

To me, the freedom to strike is a positive for Europe. It says a lot about who own the power in a particular country imho.
LPM's warning is not surprising. It's common for libraries (dare I say open-source ones?), even if they work well. It's part of the stability game, once they are marked 1.0, they are stable. LPM works well (as reported by others).

QL wants to do it portably, there are easy workarounds, but yeah…

If there were anything like 6k dead pedestrians who got run down by cyclists every year, this would be good commentary. Perversely, there are many perceived "near-collisions" between bikes and peds, while there generally aren't these between cars and peds. Cars generally just kill their victim without missing. This leads to an overabundance of those who live to say that a bicyclist almost killed them once. As a Finnish study concludes, "Near accidents appear to occur often, while actual collisions are rare."
Its not that I wanted to use vim, but either it was the tool of choice for other people, or the tool of choice for other tools (like yay/paru on Arch linux (and yes I eventually learned default editors can be changed...)).
This article came at the perfect time. My friend was just telling me how he doesn't feel appreciated at his job.
If a four day workweek is better and leads to better outcomes, I cannot help but wonder why there are virtually zero companies implementing it.

This would seem particularly effective for hourly employees, where you could supposedly expect to get 90-100% of the same work output, only pay 80% for it, and not change the timeframe on which it's delivered. It would be a huge competitive advantage given how big of an expense payroll is.
Those keyboard shortcuts are fairly discoverable because they are actually menu item shortcuts: Application>Quit and File>Close. The idea with macOS is that the menu bar is easy to get to (being at the top of the screen) and has most of the commands you need. It's also fairly standardized across apps. Originally Mac apps didn't even have many keyboard shortcuts because Apple wanted to encourage app designers (and users) to make use of the mouse and menu bar, rather than just recreating something like Wordstar. I think user tests also showed that the menu bar at the top of the screen was fairly quick to use and not drastically worse than keyboard shortcuts.

I will admit that placing "Close Window" under the File menu in Safari (for example) rather than the Window menu seems counterintuitive. The reason is that Mac apps are traditionally document-based, the File menu deals with document operations, such as closing the current document. I believe it also predates standardization of the Window menu. Unfortunately Safari (and some other apps) aren't exactly document-based, yet they share the document-style menu layout for UI consistency. Personally I wouldn't mind duplicating Close in both the File and Window menus.
I think folks might be over-estimating the difference between the Helix and vim. IME, adding "ge" to Vimium[0] was good enough to avoid any conflicting muscle-memory. I think many folks configuring their vimrc are deviating equally as far or farther than the Helix defaults.

I'm not sure that I buy the purity argument -- almost all "vim modes" in other software are interpretations of the vim key-bindings and not an embeded vim/neovim engine. As a result, they all have their own caveats and folks using vim get used to functionality that exists exclusively in their vimrc. Often times vim mode just means supporting "hjkl".

Given the multistate and remote nature of many companies, it would be a huge headache for the courts to deal with the criss-crossing patchwork of what is and isn't permissible. As an employer I would much prefer that this be resolved at the federal level.

> And if they are to exist at the federal level, then it is Congress's job to do: not the FTC's.

Congress did that already when it created the FTC and vested it with the power to decide what makes sense for trade and commerce. That is the role of agencies.
Doorbell cameras already stream everyone who comes and goes from your home, and can probably hear things in a decent enough radius.

Some people have cameras and microphones inside their own businesses (CCTV) or home (nanny cams), possibly with lax security settings.

Endgame, just turn on everyone's smartphone camera and microphone for five minutes.
I think an employer should be able to require that. Expecting the attention of someone 40 hours a week seems reasonable.

Beyond that it is another matter IMO.
I'm saying that if you rely on willpower, you will fail.

Of course you should change how you eat if how you ate caused you health problems. But I'm advocating for making a conscious change that will then enable you to eat without having to use willpower.

That's why "just eat less" is terrible advice and works for practically nobody.

It's like finances. "Just save more" is terrible advice. Getting a degree or finding a high paying job or setting up automatic 401k contributions doesn't require willpower day-to-day, and has a much higher chance of success.

If you're ok w/ 3d printing them, there are a ton of models on all the free model sharing sites of various computers... most wouldn't need much work to accomodate a pi or something even if they weren't originally designed for that.

If you want something actually nicely injection molded like the PiDPs (which are well worth the price imho, if you're interested in them) I don't know that you're going to find a better deal. I suspect it's too niche a product to scale to being economical at lower prices.

It’s hard to know exactly how heavy Ukrainian losses in the first phase and this second phase were; I suspect we’ll find out that they were quite a bit heavier than media coverage would lead us to believe.

Actually, if you read Western mainstream media front line reports, past the headlines and between the lines, a picture of very heavy losses emerges. Units completely depleted or rebuilt several times. Territorial Defense volunteers sent into the trenches with hardly any preparation [0]. And so on. But somehow such reports never manage to shatter the Conventional Wisdom.

Congress created the FTC and gave it power to act so they didn't have to deal with these issues constantly. So you're wrong, this is explicitly the FTC's domain as specified by the congressional bill about 100 years ago that created them: https://ballotpedia.org/Federal_Trade_Commission_Act_of_1914
Entire regions that are 'the exception', shouldn't exist?
Very curious what's going to happen outside of Technology.

There are many service Industries that implement noncompetes. For example - doctors.

Banning non competes Will add an additional cost to established practices to bring on a new fellow or recently licenced doctor.

Most new doctors are a loss for the new independent practice for the first 2 years. If noncompetes were abolished, the money losing doctor would simply open a new practice once he has a steady book of patients.

I predict lack of noncompetes would push many independent doctors to not hire as many new licenced doctors. Those doctors have to work somewhere, and that means hospitals.

The inevitable results seems to be higher Healthcare costs for all americans

I agree in general, but it should probably be in X% of reasonably achievable total compensation (i.e. at least the blocked industry's average, or matching the offer if the former employee has one), where X >= 100, since you'd be essentially blocking someone from working in the industry they're experienced in.

>My claim was, in part because it's so hard to get reliable information inside from China given the extreme government censorship; that the opinions from the population about the quality shouldn't be given the normal amount of weight you'd give opinions about the government from a country that has strong protections and freedoms for the press.

Then you surely will give weight to western sources, such as Harvard, saying this is the case?

Why?

I live in State A. I work for an employer who has little or no presence in State A, and they are based in State B.

I leave them and go to work for a new employer in State C, all while still remotely working from home.

Why should I be beholden to the laws of State B, that I've never resided in, as it determines my ability to conduct TRADE with a company in State C from State A?

And that's also why the FTC is involved. My professional work output is the service I have to offer. And I offer it in trade for an income. The FTC oversees more than just 'sale of consumer goods and product'.

Is there something about the FTC that means they don’t or shouldn’t have this authority?
Weird. So you are supposedly beating everyone in terms of yields and yet focus on producing something worth even less than protein per kg. Wouldn't it make more sense to cream off the market on higher value-added products before scaling up while expanding into increasingly low value products?
What system failings are those precisely?
> Congress did that already when it created the FTC and vested it with the power to decide what makes sense for trade and commerce. That is the role of agencies.

No, that's not how the U.S. Constitution works. The FTC is a member of the executive branch. The executive branch cannot arbitrarily make up laws and invalidate legal agreements. The FTC was vested with limited authority, to execute regulations that have been passed by Congress, not to make up their own laws as they go and as administrations change.

1. There's far less of such heavier elements in the Universe as a whole. Iron is the end-result of all stellar fusion. Heavier elements form only in massive astronomical events --- novas of huge stars, or in neutron-star collisions, black-hole formation, and the like. So most of the heavy stuff is iron or adjacent elements.

2. Most of the heavy stuff most likely is in the inner core, though what the fluid-dynamics of this during and following planet formation are ... is tenuously known at best. Most likely arrived at through modeling and some very limited remote sensing (seismic, neutrino flux), density estimates, and gravimetr (noting differences in Earth's gravitational field).

3. Most of the crustal prevalence of trans-iron elements in the Earth's crust is likely a result of late bombardment. The Giant Impact Hypothesis thought to have formed the Moon may variously account for greater prevalence (more material deposited to the crust from deeper within the Earth) or less (re-liqufication of the crust and mantle leading to more heavy material sinking to greater depths).

4. From an earlier HN thread, @perihelions states that evidence suggests that there's not a sufficient concentration of fissible elements to support sustained nuclear chain reactions within Earth's core, though radioactive decay does contribute about half the source of geothermal energy within the Earth (the other half being latent heat from gravitational energy of formation). See: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31281424>

Whichever way, generally, yes, heavier elements increase in prevalence with depth.

From Wikipedia:

The core is thus believed to largely be composed of iron (80%), along with nickel and one or more light elements, whereas other dense elements, such as lead and uranium, either are too rare to be significant or tend to bind to lighter elements and thus remain in the crust (see felsic materials).

There's some edge cases.

E.g. a type rating for a business jet might cost $150k or more to obtain. If a firm pays for a type rating for a pilot, that pilot is immediately more valuable to every other employer with that jet. The optimal strategy from a game theoretical point of view would be to let another employer pay for the rating, and then pay the pilot say $40k/year more than the original employer could afford to pay.

So reasonable terms that require repayment of pro-rata portion of genuine training, etc, for some small number of years can make sense.

I've been using helix the last week or so. I can confirm everything "just works". My config file is not a turing-complete nightmare, it's literally 10 lines and took about 15 minutes to set up, most of that being personal preference on UI. Great program.

I've tried vim-as-IDE many times and personally I've found that I just don't have the patience/discipline to get it all set up and not have it become a huge time sink. I end up getting frustrated and start up VS code and what do you know, everything works absolutely perfectly with zero config. So why bother. New programming language? It literally pops up telling me what extension to install and < 5 seconds later it's working.

Silicon Valley has worked fine without noncompetes. (Actually, the California economy as a whole has done fine without them, to the extent that it is one of the largest in the world.)
