The short-term stability comes from the quartz oscillator, not from the GNSS. This is nicely visible in the Allan deviation plot of the SRS FS740 GPS reference: https://www.thinksrs.com/images/instr/fs740/FS740_lockedLG.g...

Even the simplest TCXO is more stable than the GNSS up to a few ten s. The OCXO has the crossover at a few hundred s, and the Rubidium atomic clock at over one thousand s.

At these time scales, the jitter of the 1PPS measurement averages out very well and should not be a serious limitation.

I chose the opposite, I run OSX as my primary os and Linux in a VM for when I want Linux (which is pretty much just for developing stuff that will run on a Linux server). I used to run Linux as my primary desktop OS, but got tired of things almost, but not completely working. Things like not always waking from sleep, sound, fingerprint reader, etc.
> What stung before was that people were forced to use Windows because of lock-ins, software compatibility, etc. That doesn’t really exist any more. If there is one good thing about web apps, it’s that browsers are now the application run time and browsers are more cross platform than any software libraries that have come before it.

The danger that the history will repeat for browsers instead of OSs is real. The less market share for browsers other than Google Chrome or Chrome-based ones, the more likely it is, that we will be forced to use those because of incompatible web applications.

E.g. at work, using a Linux Computer, I switched to Chrome for Teams and Outlook, because of compatibility issues.

Syncthing + Tailscale. I have it set to only accept syncs from the tailscale addresses. I use this to do voice recordings that fairly quickly sync home for records of conversations.

I'm unclear if Syncthing inherently encrypts transfers, but layering it within Tailscale would add that. No?

It was designed for portability from the beginning and was ported to x86:

> Various versions of NT family operating systems have been released for a variety of processor architectures, initially IA-32, MIPS, and DEC Alpha, with PowerPC, Itanium, x86-64 and ARM supported in later releases.

> In order to prevent Intel x86-specific code from slipping into the operating system, due to developers being used to developing on x86 chips, Windows NT 3.1 was initially developed using non-x86 development systems and then ported to the x86 architecture. This work was initially based on the Intel i860-based Dazzle system and, later, the MIPS R4000-based Jazz platform. Both systems were designed internally at Microsoft.

Migrate. In 5 years you'll probably do anyway. This is just the start.
This is vital for accessibility tools, like screen readers for blind people. Also for as-you-type word prediction tools, autocorrection that works globally.

More generally power like this lets you turn Windows machines into A Thing That Does Just What You Want, rather than a locked-down thing like an iPad. Which are also great, but a different use case. For example, you could use this for exam proctoring, or kiosks, or remapping Windows keys to particular functions in your video game or Android emulator.
Nice.

The real payoff is for VR, where you need a huge frame rate so that turning your head rapidly doesn't show judder. A rule of thumb for 24 FPS film production is to pan no faster than a full image width every seven seconds.[1] (I've seen 3 seconds elsewhere; this is RED's number.) This is too slow for interactivity and far too slow for VR, where you can turn your head fast.

(A related idea in the past was FrameFree compression. The idea was to delaminate an image into layers, and then morph the layers from one frame to the next. This allows arbitrarily slowing of motion, generating fake intermediate frames. The problem is cutting the image into layers. This needs some kind of vision-oriented "AI", which was hard back when FrameFree was developed around 2006, but is much easier now. That was the genesis of this idea. Auto-delamination is also used in the process of converting 2D movies to bad 3D movies, a fad which peaked about a decade ago.)

With computer graphics, you have a depth buffer, and have depth info for each pixel. So you can separate things by depth directly, without guessing. Also, compute is related to the number of pixels, which is constant, not scene complexity. So it's a near constant time operation.

This will probably be a standard feature of VR headgear soon. Beats adding motion blur, which doesn't really work for VR, because you can turn your head while the eyes track a target. Suddenly the target goes blurry, for no good reason.

On to 1000 FPS! Maybe it is possible to have VR that doesn't nauseate 5-15% of the population.

The number of states ratifying these agreements can be misleading, and the simple majority of states agreeing to do something doesn’t always mean the powerful have stepped up, too. States representing nearly half the world (47/48% of global population) have not signed the Ottawa Treaty on anti-personnel landmines. More than half (+55%) of the world’s population lives in a country that is not covered by the cluster munitions convention. One of the keys to making these treaties useful is to have the most powerful states aligned on their aims and objectives - it matters a lot more to have (as you suggest) the US, Russia, China, India, and Pakistan signing on than it does many other smaller states.

Not sure about the Q4 2022 version but there was a post [1] a month ago that also claimed something like 16 MOE that got a lot of attention, and some similar-ish rumors before too with less detail.

So could be either more detail leaking over time or just a random made up post that took root a long time ago continually being retold with slightly more guesstimated detail added own each time to make the poster sound like they're in the know.

Impossible to tell until the actual details are confirmed I guess.

It's one thing to make an academic case in an online forum, that PFAS are not detrimental (at low levels) to human health. But when it gets down to it, would you rather avoid PFAS, or you just don't think they're a problem?

Some things are not safe at any level. Lead (Pb) for example. So what about PFAS? Does it accumulate in the body? What are the effects of long-term ingestion?

My question was intended to see just how serious people were, who were making the argument that PFAS weren't a thing to be concerned about.
It's still odd to read "whataboutism" after all what Russia did in Ukraine, breaking any possible war crime law, mass murdering and torturing civilians, using any weapons anywhere they want (except nuclear, although the nuclear power plant is likely mined), causing scorched earth by blowing the dam, etc etc.

It's almost as if they don't want people to buy these machines.

The Termux App [https://termux.dev/en/] provides a full linux terminal with zsh, emacs, and apt based package manager.

I find it fits most of my linux on the go needs; for example I can pull up a node REPL and quickly test code on my phone, or curl a API endpoint

> And yet not having a presence on the desktop stings a bit doesn't it :).

Depending on how you define "desktop" i would argue that Linux has a very big presence on the desktop. Considering the "new desktop" is a smartphone, and Android is based on Linux, that alone would account for a very large desktop presence.
What a long way to say that "yes, it is linux indeed" :-)
I think there is a distinction between good interaction design and good functionality. If you look at the apple product as a toy to be interacted with, then the points in this article are fine. If you want to get something done quickly, then Windows 98 with a mouse and a mechanical keyboard was still quicker and less frustration.
Pascal was the systems language that I cut my teeth in when I was a mere thirteen year old struggling to wrap my head around the intricacies of C/C++. For that, it'll always have a special place in my heart and I always get a fuzzy feeling seeing real applications built in it.

I bought Bose ANC earplugs a few years ago, having the fantasy of blessed silence amid all the chatter, blaring radio, etc.

It was very disappointing. Low level hums are indeed filtered, but the office voices sound even more distinct.

Im hoping for AI powered ANC that will be much better at filtering specific annoying voices.
You know the abundance of Hollywood bullshit on AI going to kill us all? The same thing happened long ago with silencers as they forget about hearing damage from firearms because it isn't seen in movies but worry about "the dangers" of firearms being suppressed to non-hearing damaging levels by equating it with the classic "mouse-fart" level of volume.

Hollywood has a lot to answer for in its damage to epistemology.
Distributed Transactions at Scale in Amazon DynamoDB [pdf]
Circa 1993, a printed listing of everything on the Internet:

"As easy to use as your telephone book, THE INTERNET DIRECTORY provides: user-friendly instructions on how to get on-line and get the information you want; a guide to the thousands of interconnected computer systems that comprise Internet; tips on how to send and receive messages, and much more"

https://www.amazon.com/Internet-Directory-Guide-Usenet-Bitne...

Someone gave it a one star review in 2008, saying "I tried to use a bit of information from the book and it didn't work so I'm not going to bother reading it anymore."

Another shortcoming is it wasn't printed on acid-free paper for the ages.

It seems there were still similar directories being printed at least as late as 1995.
Show HN: Scara.io- a 2D robot programming game that you can play in the browser
Scara Robots is a programming game that runs in the browser. Player has to program a robot in Javascript to solve various challenges.
There's a built-in code editor with basic code completion and syntax highlighting.

Robot can be programmed to move around and it has a simple robot arm and a gripper which can be programmed to pick and place objects with precision.
The unique aspect of the game is that it allows you to control each joint with position and velocity control.

Initial levels are very simple with basic API introduction. But there are some interesting challenges as you move further.
There are also levels where you have to pick up a sword and to kill NPCs by controlling robots motion and robot arm/gripper.

The Planck length does not mean anything like space quantization. It's just a length that pops out when you combine several physical constants. The values of those constants mean that the Planck scale is likely to be roughly where gravitational and quantum effects are both relevant but other than that it has no physical significance.

I have no idea where this idea that space is fundamental discrete, and divided up into chunks of Planck length voxels or something comes from, but there is absolutely no evidence for it.
actually, strong disagree, bluray drm is just as broken as streaming "widevine" (or other) drm. neither has been cracked, the algorithms are just well understood and in both cases people have figured out how to exfiltrate the keys needed from devices with them. in practice, its a very similar set of technical steps for both.

this is distinguished from DVDs where one can brute force it without starting with a key.

the only distinguishing thing between bluray and streaming drm is an end user simplicity thing, but thats more of a "product" / end user technical ability distinction than anything else.
Monolith apps can have many dependency checks and it is not really an issue but I get your point. It can become messy.

There is SCEP (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Certificate_Enrollmen...) which allows that and is often found on network devices.
You need a PKI which exposes a SCEP endpoint (ejbca or dogtag supports this).
That the certificate is used as certificate for the HTTPS is up to the device implementation of the scep client or something else in the client though.

On servers, certmonger can do scep iirc. On private infrastructure, FreeIPA provides a packaged dogtag and you can create your own certificate profiles. Clients enrolled in freeipa have certmonger installed to refresh certificates.

I would say that Linux is the second desktop for development (behind MacOS, in front of Windows), however...

I wonder if any of you tried to develop C/C++ on MacOS. It seems that it's impossible to find leaks and misbehavior, while on Linux there is this valgrind that does everything for you. MacOS have some `leaks` tool but it does not really do half of the things valgrind does. So probably I would say "Linux is in the first place". /Writing this on my company's mac/

It has full presence on my desktop, which is all that matters.

Despite the lack of any exponential moonshots in marketshare, compatibility layers like Wine and Wine derivatives, as well as platform agnostic package management tools, have made Linux desktops much more pleasant to use compared to just 4-5 years ago. This has allowed me to almost completely de-Windows my computer usage without abandoning Windows-only applications.

I do try to shill Linux to friends from time to time as a casual tease. Haven't had much success in that regard but it's not a concrete goal of mine. Despite having all gone to the same STEM program that required Linux environments for most courses, I'm the only one using it as a daily driver outside of work among the 15-20 people I still regularly contact.

Some sort of way to contact people who own activation locked devices that have been stolen would be nice, I once got an activation locked Apple Watch in the mail (long story) and tried to return it to the owner and was pretty much told “no you can’t really do that” by Apple, and there’s no way to unlock it back to being a functional watch either which is my second preference if it’s completely impossible to contact the owner. The only thing I could do was sell it on eBay as an activation locked device to someone who will presumably part out the device and toss the main board since otherwise it’s just e waste for my junk drawer.
Lots of data. Police departments in San Francisco, New York and London saw pronounced drops in iPhone theft rates shortly after Activation Lock was introduced. https://archive.nytimes.com/bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/06/1...

Thieves have taken to threatening the people they stole from because they simply aren’t able to bypass the activation lock: https://appleinsider.com/inside/iphone/tips/do-not-remove-ic...

While a device could be scrapped and sold for parts, many components in the iPhone authenticate with each other, which makes it even more challenging to usefully sell the parts. The same authentication has been criticized as obstructing legitimate device repairs, although Apple has been (dragged into) better supporting self-service repairs more recently.
It depends; there’s also fashion or entertainment; in some aspects also education, law and I’m sure many others.
