It's irrelevant. The linked page is several years old; HDMI alt-mode didn't catch on and virtually nothing implements it.

Looks like Nyxt, a browser "inspired by Vim", inherits Vim's showstopper bug: Being unusable on many non-US keyboards, at least with the default bindings. The 'switch-buffer-previous' command is bound to C-[, which cannot be pressed e.g. on QWERTZ layouts because the [ character requires AltGr. This is like sending around text files encoded in Windows-1252 and expecting things to just work.

Sorry folks, but it turns out that the creators of Vi(m) didn't actually invent the ultimate UI paradigm half a century ago. It's bad enough that a text editor that ignores the past few decades of UX research is still in widespread use, but please, for the love of God, stop incorporating that broken paradigm into new products.

What a pity, because Nyxt looks like a well-designed piece of software otherwise.
"Half of the people living in democracies (49%) say that the influence of Big Tech companies, such as Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook, threatens democracy in their country."

(Though, the validity is undermined by a separate question on global corporations, and the methodology in general can be called into question.)
There's no terrorist threat but there are birds, so we shouldn't just shoot birds for no reason.
DisplayPort is royalty-free while HDMI charges licensing per unit. Additionally, Intel strongly supported DP so many boards came with support even if there was nothing to connect it to, and Intel ensured support in USB specs. Eventually enough display manufacturers added support* and DP became common enough, this generated demand and we ended with a self-reinforcing system. There's still a lot of HDMI, so I wouldn't say the computer world is standardized. In my experience, people just use whatever port is available...

* Display turnaround time is significant. Displays can survive a decade comfortably. A few people brag about their 10000K display with 10000Hz refresh rates, but many people just keep their display until it drops or until they buy a new system. So DP took a long time to be universally supported and that hampered adoption for a long time.
Exercise is not an effective weight loss intervention. It's something you should do for your cardiovascular health, strength, and cardiovascular health.
Right, but if one rides Calvin all the way out, then most of the Gospel gets kinda bizarre.
I’m sorry you went/are going through that.

I know you said it’s been ruled out, but I sometimes wonder if I should worry more about aging lithium batteries in older devices… the oldest ones (e.g. 2000s handhelds) are now old enough to be retro-cool and therefore worth keeping for nostalgia, but they’re also a bit scary.
Reality does not need to be peer-reviewed to be true.
There's no war zone near me, so I guess the military doesn't need to shoot birds.
It may be worth adding "(2016)" to the title, otherwise people are going to think like this dead tech is somehow relevant today ;)

What you've said is very true, but implementing it depends heavily on the client. The fundamental rule of agile is that business needs to participate in software development on daily basis (and I agree with that 100%). Although, it is very difficult. The first big obstacle is that business doesn't understand the very nature of software development which is: it is easy to change and it is reusable. The former one means that you can gradually improve your solution instead of coming up with exhaustive description up front. Instead they think about it like about processes their are familiar with, e.g. building house, where if you build a wall it will be hard to move. The latter one (that it is reusable) is a bit easier to grasp for non-software folks, but then again: someone needs to introduce them to this idea, as they are not familiar with the concept that there are building blocks ready and the hardest part is to find best fitting building blocks and glue them together. Those I would call knowledge gaps, sometimes there is some resistance due to the fact that those guys are doing totally different things, so they don't see a need for learning about software development (which is quite naive, if you ask me, since software is basically everywhere nowadays).

But there are more obstacles, like cultural ones: I can't count how many time I heard "client pays, client demands" without want to hear any feedback or guidance.

There are also obstacles on work organization level, for example: people who have final say how should system look/work have no time to even grasp general ideas about the system.

And god forbid if your client has experience with software developers who were silently and blindly (which means: inefficiently) developing everything that client demanded, because it creates a wall that will be very hard to breakthrough.
Were there ever any (source) devices with HDMI alt mode shipped, though? I vaguely remember hearing about one smartphone, but that seemed more like a showcase for the technology.
Ah the comparison wasn't to self-hosted Sentry, it was to other self-hosted software in general. Django and Rails project tend to take just a bit more to get deployed.

Also stability on GlitchTip has been great for me -- haven't had to worry about it or babysit it too much.

Very small scale but still quite promising.

Also note that there's a GlitchTip cloud[0] for people who don't want to worry about it!

I have to admit, I would probably have taken the pill depending on how gruesome (or mitigatible) the death is. I've been obese and I've been thin, and life is not worth living when obese.

10 years ago, I was reading about nootropics and ran across an interesting piece on the ethics of drugs (that has probably been lost to time). The question it was asking was "why can we take drugs to bring us to normal, but we can't take drugs that make us better than normal?"

The interesting consequence is that it de facto forces people who don't need drugs to take them or be at a disadvantage. (think adderall at a competitive college or testosterone for lifting).
Maestro is literally starting to wind down this year, supposedly they've decided to switch everyone towards Debit Mastercard products.

I assume there's gradually less and less appeal for a card that isn't as broadly accepted, and if it encourages more fee generation, all's the better.
> Now, writing is always (best) done with a specific reader in mind: you assume the reader has a certain background/prerequisites: some things that don't need explaining, and some things that do.

I don't buy it. The same explanation can be used to excuse the use of traditional (non-LP) programming systems—raising questions about why make a fuss about LP at all at that point if an LP text is going to treat the same types of shortcomings as a given.

As the commenters on Ward's wiki pointed out, Knuth's examples come across as still being written for the compiler—what he's mostly succeeded at is just coming up for a different syntax for it to consume in a roundabout way.

> Depending on the reader you're targeting (e.g., yourself a few years from now), and how polished you're trying to make your presentation, you may well choose to take it for granted and not bother explaining that a C program will have some obvious #includes at the top.

But of all the things that Knuth could explain, that's the one thing he does explain. It's not a lack of an explanation that the program will have some includes that is the problem. It's the impertinence of immediately dumping a list of includes on the reader, in a total failure in exposition.

We don't have to focus exclusively on the includes to see this problem. The define at the top of the Symmetric Hamiltonian cycles exhibits the same thing just as clearly.

I have another theory that I've floated, which is that Knuth realized that there's something wrong with how traditional Pascal and C compilers force you to write/read your programs bottom-up, but by the time he came up with literate programming he was already so warped and tainted from years of doing work in the bottom-up tradition to satisfy the compiler that it ends up clouding his vision, even when he knows that's the mindset he's trying to actively work against.
Also DP can do cool things like carrying the signals for multiple monitors (daisy chaining)... I have one usb type c cable that does power display and usb for my 2 dell monitors... it is awesome... sadly Apple never implemented DP daisy chaining this and when you try it with their hardware you only get a mirrored output.
Ya, rapid weight loss is one of the most common triggers of gall stones. Lots of weight loss surgery patients get them as well.
I don’t think putting it to vote was stupid, but enacting a generational change over a <4% was
Rains nine months out of the year. During the protests there were riots and teargas for 300 nights straight. I was there last July when things had calmed down a bit. Even so the cute skate shop on broadway had its window smashed the night after I got there. The homeless population has exploded and it’s actually unsafe and unpleasant in many places.

But the city is great and has awesome micro neighborhoods. And is almost impossibly beautiful.

Oh and good food. Awesome microbrews.
So, maybe I'm missing something here, but who is talking about computers? Most things that need to be connected to with HDMI, are TVs. I have 5, none of them take display port or USB-C. The all take HDMI. I have no "monitors" because... Why would I need one (I only "game" things that have to run on dosbox)?

But let's talk computers. And phones. All mine, only have USB-C. I have an old one that has micro, and I chromecast the screen from that one. I connect them all to TVs. With HDMI on the TV end.

So literally your dead on arrival example is not even present in the life of my household, while what's talked about in the article is widely used.
No, HDMI alt mode was (is?) actually sending HDMI over the USB-C wire.

Thunderbolt also doesn’t really natively send DP over USB; it encapsulates it (plus PCI express) in a custom wire format.

Only DP alt mode actually uses DisplayPort at the wire level over USB-C cables or ports.
When using Supabase, I haven’t had any issues with the webui because I mainly use dbeaver to work with Postgres instead.
Maybe HDMI-CEC? But at least some versions of DisplayPort also support that, including DP alt mode. Some USB-C to HDMI (via DP alt mode) adapters even advertise that capability.
FWIW, I lost multiple dress sizes without counting calories or starving myself by eating a more nutrient dense diet.
No it's not. No it doesn't. You're just making that up.

If you want to make an extraordinary claim, provide evidence.
Which option did you decide?
I have just begun playing with Supabase and have a habit of running `brew upgrade` several times per week. It bugs me that the Supabase CLI is updated every single time I run `brew upgrade`. I suspect that if I were to run `brew upgrade` twice a day, it would probably still update every single time. It makes me feel like I'm trying to swing a bat around, except it's made of water.
This is probably against their TOS, but since they leak everywhere, who cares.
I vaguely remember that the game Black & White [0] was one of the first games to have special support for this mouse, and maybe even had a bonus level that relied on the iFeel tech. (It was a long time ago) I also remember being kind of amazed at how well the technology worked.

Despite Dan's Data pish-poshing, I remember a demo where the screen had different textured surfaces (sandpaper, bumps, wood, glass) and when you moved the pointer over those, the vibrations made it feel like you really were moving over those surfaces. It was kind of a gimmick, but in this day and age of game hardware designed to just be "cool", it feels like it could come back.

I didn’t read the whole article because it had too many words. Probably some editor was demanding a certain length by a certain deadline.

I think that the last 100 years or so have seen the west frequently go too far in optimizing everything, not just productivity.

From time motion studies on early assembly lines to modern voice response driven customer service, the ability to measure things has caused us to often optimize for the wrong things, or fail to balance optimizations, or over-optimize past the point where it’s good for humans as well as the business.

And it’s catchy- nowadays with half the people you talk to, you have to constantly speed up to avoid attention wandering. Maybe I’m just a long winded old fart but honestly attention spans have gone to shit. Maybe that’s not an optimization per se but it evokes the same feelings as IVR mazes and long queues everywhere (airports etc.). It’s the feeling that I’m a burden or tax on someone’s attention rather than a valuable interaction.
No support for Windows, really? That's unfortunate.
Lucid Fallacy
What do you mean by "fancy bits?". I can plug my Galaxy S23 into the same dock as my Macbook Pro and use DeX with video out and my keyboard and mouse without installing or doing anything other than clicking "ok".
I hadn’t heard of EndMyopia but it sounds plausible to me. I have been myopic around -6.5 diopters left eye and -5.5 diopters right eye (with astigmatism) for almost 2 decades now. I discussed eye health and preventing worsening / potential training to improve vision naturally with the optometrist (“consulting” optometrist i.e. not part of a glasses/spectacles store, their end product is the prescription values for your eyes). We settled on 20/16 near vision and “20/30ish” far vision (20/30 line easy, 20/20 all correct but with slight effort / hesitation) as a good compromise for my lifestyle - essentially, something that would give me adequate vision for driving and optimal vision for working at a computer. I use soft contact lenses because I was told these use more of the eye muscles for natural accommodation than hard lenses or glasses, thus keeping the eye healthier. I was told to keep a close eye (heh) out for any fatigue or eye strain and I haven’t experienced any of that (although I also didn’t experience it with glasses, so it might not mean much). I had four visits in total over about five years and we saw no change so the optometrist said she was comfortable that my eyes weren’t deteriorating. All of this is over a decade ago and I’ve just been using the same prescription since with no issues, so my memory might be incorrect or some of the science of what she told me might now be out of date, but I haven’t experienced any issues so it seems to be working for me. Not medical advice etc.
It's also interesting to note that while thyroid and other similar issues are not usually the cause of a person's initial weight gain, those types of issues are much more common in obese people. So it makes it much more likely that an obese person has some underlying medical issues making their battle to lose weight even more difficult.

Lightning doesn’t support DP, does it?

There are lightning to HDMI adapters, but these fascinatingly run a full SoC that receives and decodes a compressed H.264 video stream over lightning, which I wouldn’t really call HDMI over lightning.

Non-PCM audio (i.e. Dolby Atmos/DTS-X) and HDR10+/Dolby Vision do not appear to be supported by DisplayPort.

(Nor ARC/eARC, but I think those would be of limited utility for the USB-C alt mode.)

We're still not being careful about asymptomatic, presymptomatic and paucisymptomatic.

If someone is infected with SARS-CoV-2 and feeling nonspecific aches and pains and doesn't realize they're sick yet, and they only start feeling very ill a day or two later was that person "asymptomatic"?

I can fairly well believe that people who are truly asymptomatic under the strictest definition and never fall ill are very unlikely to transmit the virus.

At the same time people who are going to get sick and are ignoring or in denial about the first symptoms they might be feeling are probably very likely to be walking around transmitting virus.
I read "commentary" as a different sort, and found myself picturing MUD PvPing as a televised esports event.

Yes, it’s a pity they never implemented that.

Presumably some deal with Intel to push Thunderbolt :/ It’s an open spec now, but at the time Apple was pushing Thunderbolt hard, only Intel was building the chips for it, both for computers and peripherals (ie monitors, docks etc.)

No, my concern was the claim that something happened to the diaper companies is false.

Some middleman website might have lost out on being able to sell for more money to Walmart, but that was their choice to not to pursue a deal with Walmart.

I am guessing what they were probably concerned about was guaranteeing themselves cashing out at least at Amazon’s offer because if Walmart found out Amazon was backing out of the deal, then Walmart would have had the power to push the price down.

Either way, diapers.com was going to lose to Amazon/Walmart/Target/Costco in the long run, so if they were getting a high valuation simply for being a popular website as online shopping was ramping up, then their best move was to sell while the iron was hot.
In terms of fingerprinting/bot detection, is it flagged as suspicious/automated browser?

No, thats not what i'm saying. It is not about luck, since you have to commit something to get lucky. The assumption in the thread you are making is that the luck comes on its own - i.e without this $100k check Google would not have existed.

I also did mention that there was work put in in addition to the check as far as im aware.

To put it another way, even for the professor it wasn't really being in the right place at the right time - that was not enough.

And people wildly underestimate how many calories they need. Just by limiting the one portion to 50g of pasta, instead of my preferred 150+g, I can go under 100kg in less than a week. My 'how much should I cook' habits formed when I was young and spent at least a couple of hours commuting, but nowadays I'm quite literally just sit on my ass all day.

When a product is unusable without changing configuration, it absolutely is a bug. Being customizable is great, but being broken by default is not.

Besides, the whole point of Vim bindings is supposed to be that they are the same everywhere (muscle memory yadda yadda yadda). When you have to change core bindings to something random to make them work, that whole idea falls apart, and you're probably better off using the platform standard bindings for everything. Plus, you get the additional benefit that the software fits in with the rest of the system, rather than sticking out like a sore thumb.
It's not used at all. HDMI alt-mode is several years old and nothing implements it. Even HDMI LA considers it dead now, they closed their certification program for it.

In practice, video over USB-C uses either DP alt-mode, Thunderbolt or USB4 (and the latter ones encapsulate DP over their own protocols). All USB-C to HDMI cables and adapters actually use DisplayPort and converters. HDMI alt-mode was indeed dead on arrival.
Self-hosted Sentry (on k8s) was a nightmare for me. Babysitting Kafka and Clickhouse at the same time is not for the faint of heart. For better or worse you're running their full saas product, but you can't get paid support for it. They want to push you towards cloud.
