The primary action of particulate matter is that it gets stuck in your body (and tiny PM can penetrate into the brain) and is an inflammatory irritant the rest of your life, leading to disease. It stands to reason if the PM is also a toxic particle, the impact is worse.

Although it has had loads of critically acclaimed hits, I don't think Pixar was ever considered as much of a "masterpiece" factory as it was a hit factory. It's only ever a small percentage of people who go to the cinema to see masterpieces. People go to be entertained, and Pixar has been very good at that for a very long time. It also benefitted from riding a steady wave of in-house CG improvements all the way from the Luxo shorts to the point where the verisimilitude has to be dialed down so as to fit the expectations of the Disney/Pixar look.

Like the first Star Wars films, there was a gee-whiz tech factor to their early movies that compensated for some banal or hackneyed beats in their storytelling. And they can't rely on that any longer. If anything, they've ceded the eye candy aspect to the Avatar series and the eye-popping Spider-Man cartoons. I think to the extent that Pixar is in trouble, it's because they need to figure out a way to break out of their self-imposed box without losing their core identity as a studio.
Zathura is a fast PDF viewer for Unixes, it's simple and snappy like Sumatra.

Turboprops are fucking deathtraps (3x failure and fatality rate) because of unresolved engineering challenges, i.e., spline drives. Props just falling off midflight.
Works of great magnitude done by a single person, often take time. Let's try be grateful for when they finish, instead of cynical and demanding. :P
the lamest attempt by an already faulty infrastructure, that attempted to fool dev and sysadmins to become one role. just another industry robbed of skilled professionals because some dipshit dreamed up a McDonald's style IT industry. have some respect! catch-all role IMO and I would never accept a position as one. NEVER!

I know her videos. Her explanation of what is DevOps and how it works in the ideal scenario is quite good. The point here is the reality and how we end up with a snowball effect if we don't think it through. Poorly integrated solutions and rushed gluing leads to paralysis at some point.

> Web passwords are the primary issue. Secrets that are local on your system with hardware enforced rate limiting, such as a pin on a yubikey, are reasonable. Pins are short and memorable. Passwords generally must be 256 bits of entropy and thus not easily memorable.

I consider PINs, passwords and passphrases as the same thing, just different rules to create/input them. Numerical PINs might be easier to remember, but as with unlock patterns on a phone, it is also easier to casually observe someone entering and memorizing it.

Biometrics I am not a fan of, because they can be stolen without you noticing. With password you have to enter it in an untrusted environment, which takes more effort to setup. Also biometrics cannot easily be changed if they leak. And they also change with time and events involuntary and some people even have identical biometric data.

> I assumed we were talking about web passwords given that is the only scope FIDO2/passkeys cover.

The discussion started with wanting to replace all passwords.

I don't know anything about passkey, but FIDO2 can be used for harddrive encryption: https://0pointer.net/blog/unlocking-luks2-volumes-with-tpm2-...

IMO, 2FA via hardware key etc. next to a password/PIN it great, but IMO some kind of proof of knowledge can not be replaced by just a proof of possession.
If version 1 of your library has a function that returns a reference to T, then that constrains your choices of implementation for the underlying data structures containing Ts more than they would be constrained in a garbage-collected language. So unless there is to be a ban on functions returning simple references, Rust is always going to be a little less flexible in this respect. That is fine and expected given the overall design goals of the language, but there's no point pretending that it's not the case.

The simplest concrete example, I guess, would be a function that returns &'str. There are plenty of Rust APIs out that have functions with this type signature.
He seems to be taking jabs at "liberals" in quite a few of his other posts, so this doesn't sound too far fetched.
I have already spent more time than I wanted on reading through verbose but elusive articles about Vale, without any insight into how this actually happens.

I have already spent too much time trying to compile Vale compiler which is a weird mix of Scala and C++ with a small Vale driver. Once it is actually written in Vale without segfaults, I'll revisit the language again.

Thanks for the Verona recommendation.
Have you looked at nextcloud? Or maybe even syncthing?

I've been having a lot of luck organizing my life with nextcloud this last few months. It does take a little bit of setup, but it has notes, files, and lots more.

Another option is an app like notable (markdown notes) and something to sync across devices with. I hear a lot of people use syncthing, I haven't personally, I have a private git server that I've used in the past, but I've since migrated everything to a private nextcloud server that's only accessable by wireguard when remote or wifi when at home.
You obviously use 2 precisely configured screwdrivers, so one screwdriver can hit the other when the nail requests it, like a multilevel cache.
Show HN: Uppercut: The first Unified API agency
Hey there! I've had my eye on projects like Merge, but they charge a killer monthly fee of $65 per connection and don't offer a bunch of options.

So I've partnered with an awesome new YC backed, open-source, Unified API platform as a solution provider to create the first Unified API agency.

Uppercut can set your organization up with an OSS alternative to costly SaaS tools like Merge. A Unified API can enable the connection of upwards of 70+ third-party APIs in as little as two weeks while also allowing you to:

- Keep everything on your infrastructure

- Use your own OAuth v2 Credentials

- Easily add API connectors that aren't already built.

All for a scalable one-time implementation price of $60/integration.
Policy as Code vs. Policy as Graph Comparison
Correction: the lesson is that you cannot exploit the available ILP by static (compile-time) analysis. There is definitely enough ILP to exploit if you do the analysis at execution time, which is what any modern CPU does with register renaming, reorder buffers, dependency tracking etc.
I can tell you that the comfort of your home is a huge factor. I would not dismiss it. I think that it accounts for a lot of the difference between European attitudes to WFH and American.

My best WFH situation was a beach house where I had a dedicated room for work, a large back garden and could take 3 walks a day down the beach between calls.
this blows bigTime :-/

Yes, he has, because there is a top-down command hierarchy in the army, and soldiers get punished if they refuse orders. They are basically just tools of the general.

But in case where one has killed by his own volition (not being under direct order), the motivation is irrelevant.
What's wrong with hardcore porn on daytime TV? I mean I wouldn't watch that channel (but I don't watch TV anyway), but some people maybe would. Right now they can open porn website any time of the day, so what's the difference? Actually, is porn even really disallowed on TV in your country, or just nobody wants it?
More like Intel stopped being interesting years ago. For me, they just keep reheating the old designs and stopped innovate. To get my attention back, they would have to create something that would get to me through some mainstream articles. Otherwise, I think following Intel is a waste of time. They need to prove themselves.
How to fix a forward head posture
Have you seen similar problems in your past experiences? I personally feel like both DevOps and agile are misused in general precisely because they are open-ended.
I don't know. I use the bare minimum for email and I live in the Apple ecosystem with iCloud mail so the stock Mail app is more than enough for me.

Definitely less featured but I don't need the extras anyway.
You'll then probably be surprised to learn the AFL-CIO lists such causes as:

- Criminal Justice Reform

- Health Care

- Quality Education

- Sexual Harassment

- Social Security and Retirement

- Tax and Budget Policy

- Gender Equality

on its issues page [0], or that the NEA has a whole section for Racial & Social Justice [1], or that the CWA has a whole section for Human Rights [2].

I don't think there's any reason that if tech workers all joined the CWA that the CWA couldn't then lobby against encryption backdoors.

> This accounts for around half of US employees and most US businesses. In the UK and other countries, it's even more.

Right. Far from the "few and far between" narrative here, isn't it?

> That's not true,

I'm talking about HR onboarding. Signatures, payroll, boilerplate regulatory compliance training etc.

> you'll almost always be having in-person chats throughout your on-boarding if you're in the office.

Nope, not if HR is located elsewhere. It's phone, email, electronic meetings.

> And anyway, the tech really isn't the issue here. As a new recruit in the office, you're usually sitting near your mentor/line manager. Every now and then they'll verbally check in with you, or you can tell them you're stuck on something and they'll tell you what to do or who to go to. As other colleagues approach your team area, your manager introduces you to them and explains what they do.

"If you're in the office you'll be in the office".

All of this stuff is trivial to do online. I don't pretend it has exactly the same results, and one possibly valid concern is monitoring and hepling newer and less proven employees. It doesn't mean that just because there are certain pros and cons that the whole idea falls in a heap at the first hurdle though, so those kinds of anecdotes do not address what I wrote.

> In a remote environment, all of this suddenly takes a lot more conscious pro-active effort. Check-ins have to be rigorously scheduled. New hires need to feel safe enough to approach anyone they need to, and to be told in writing who to approach and how. They need to be introduced to everyone explicitly via call or messaging. They need to be protected from falling "out of sight, out of mind", and encouraged to build personal connections with colleagues.

None of this is rocket science, and all of the tools to do it trivially exist in any software suite any company uses even ones that aren't remote. Email, calendar, chat. Or a physical pen and notepad if you must. Checking in on people isn't some incredible and complicated new skill managers have to learn, that's what they do.
The Pilkington Museum in St. Helens (near Liverpool) had floor-to-ceiling curtains made of woven glass. It was heavy stuff, and the room was very tall; it must have taken some serious machinery to get them hung.

Pilkingtons is the company that developed and patented float glass, the replacement for plate glass. I think they were acquired by Corning.
I also don't normally normally enjoy musicals, but I really liked La La Land.

More evidence that the VC model is broken. If every investor wants to 10-100x, every company eventually needs to compromise any semblance of values in order to redeem their latest investors.
In breaking init news, I was sitting at the bar inside Guthrie's of Somerset (wet county now) the exact moment I read this comment. Tried to login for the first time in a decade to reply at the time but the mobile app doesn't have the account recovery that I could find.

I thought the NY Times had reworked it so you couldn't see the answer in advance anymore, but maybe not. The current code is too obfuscated for me to figure it out easily.

Comparing a JavaScript ORM to a C# ORM like Entity Framework feels like comparing C macros to Lisp macros.

You can't really have a reasonable conversation about ORMs without defining the feature set your ORM has. If an ORM doesn't apply type safety to SQL queries and translate typed code expressions to equivalent SQL expressions, it's not performing two of the key functions I associate with ORMs. If I didn't take these features for granted, I would probably question how useful ORMs are too!

I think the reason it's so hard to have a conversation about ORMs in general is that we're often lumping radically different systems together and then making a blanket judgement. Again, it's like working with C macros, getting annoyed with them, and then judging all macro systems to be bad.

Those features predate GNOME 3 by decades, and aren't unique to it at all. Virtual desktops were in CDE back in the 1980s, and window snapping was in KDE 2 I think, back in the late 1990s.
This was specifically forbiden by Google eons ago. You could not create an ad with Pepsi in it, unless you were Pepsi.

What we have today is intentional, they have the system to prevent this but they choose to no longer use it. It might be that your own ad with your own brand in it is way cheaper than the competitors ads with your brand in them. Maybe they just want some money from you even when the user searched for your brand specifically. Maybe they want to train users to always click on ads (hard no to when the ad is exactlly what you searched for)
While the spec sheet does say that, it's not actually true. The PMS5003 is a truncated nephelometer (https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/15/655/2022/) that measures the total scattered light from all particles with diameters less than ~1 µm. This single scalar value (proportional to the total scattered light, as collected across a wide viewing range) is then correlated to a reference measurement of PM2.5 and typically correlates quite well in most urban areas where PM2.5 and PM1 are highly correlated. For more info on the difference between particle counters and nephelometers in this context, see https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/13/6343/2020/.

Yes. Consumers with IoT devices know this too - my LIFX bulbs use this trick basically seamlessly. There is vendor lock-in with the LIFX app but you can also use it through home assistant etc.
If you have any doubt about the 2D productions that Disney is releasing these days, I would implore you to check out their Star Wars "Visions" series.

Aside from animation, I found the new Disney release "American Born Chinese" to be a refreshing change of pace. It was produced by the makers of Shang-Chi, which I'm a huge fan of, and often put on in the background.
This already happens, not with Meta, but with everyone having to implement Mastodon's ActivityPub implementation quirks (which there are a lot of). So for me, as a developer of a small and niche Fediverse project, nothing will change.

I'll still be here, minding my own business, while some large(ish) entity is doing stupid things that I have no intention of following up on.

For you as a user, maybe things will change, but I doubt that people that invested in the space until now will be deterred by the entrance and, eventual exit of Meta.

Is it due to that framing, or due to the balance of supply and demand for that labor and that framing is just an explanation of the supply?
Quick note: the UK's current governing party has been in power for 13 years. They are completely out of ideas. The main opposition is similarly short on anything to actually offer beyond "the same as those guys, but better!". All the major issues facing the UK (debt, the economy, housing, education, brexit, democratic collapse) are issues where people are not willing to actually support action. So all there is left for parties is either dumb shit like this or fake wedge issues (like pretending trans people are pedophiles).

That is why this keep coming back.
Finally someone sharing my views on XMPP. I can’t believe how many apologists XMPP has given how terrible it is as a protocol.
Interesting but just looking at the clip it makes me feel like cramming my mouth full of sponge would be an unpleasant experience
Could you perhaps write up how this came to be? Did you know anyone there already, or did the contact come through some previous network? Did you put together a pitch deck or did they reach out to you first?

The reason I am asking is that I was some years ago I was working on an open source payment gateway for crypto which I was sure would be something interesting for companies like Shopify, and I even posted an "Ask HN" how I could approach companies to ask for sponsorships [0]. I'm not working on it anymore, but I'm pretty sure that I'd be if I were any better at establishing these connections.

> Not to mention that the people ruled by the Visigoths invited Tariq bin zayed when he invaded across Gibraltar, so that he would remove king Rodrick.

Per wikipedia [1], it was rival factions of Visigoths, that the Moors expertly divide and conquered. I'm sure otherwise you are correct, and with the minor exception of enslaving the locals, the Moors were able to build a bright example or progress and science and tolerance on the land and backs of those backwards savages, sorry, barbarians.

> The popular thought in Spain on “invasion”

Could you explain the scare quotes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_Spain doesn't shy from using "invasion" without scare quotes throughout the text. Passages like

During one of the multiple raids in 710, the Muslims "made several inroads into the mainland, which produced a rich spoil and several captives, who were so handsome that Musa and his companions had never seen the like of them". The natives of Hispania viewed the Berbers in a similar way as the Byzantines viewed the Arabs, as barbarians, and feared an attack by them.

(From [2] we can infer the likely fate of these captives) sure seem to describe a plain invasion to me, no scare quotes needed. It also doesn't look like the people welcoming the Moors as liberators, as you tried to paint them. But perhaps you know something I don't - history is not my forte.
