> you won't use it and it gets in the way of the external monitor

Did this with a Thinkpad X1 for some weeks recently. Unexpectedly, no trouble at all: the laptop is small and flexible enough to not get in the way at all. Built-in keyboard was worse than my tried and true KB-06X, better than some of the keyboards I came across in the office — but most of the days I just don't type enough for that to be important. External monitor and mouse are crucial though.

AirBnB is also a plague to many neighbourhoods, and cities should crack down on AirBnB abuse too.
Wow, thanks for posting that. Your comment led me to read that Bhutan banned mountaineering in 2003 out of respect for local beliefs. I think that's pretty cool given how rare I think it is for local and national governments to take an approach that aligns with the will of most of their people as opposed to "do what makes the most money, consequences be damned".
FWIW, I'm happy with IKEA Skådis pegboard (vertical, clamped to the desk surface) + magazine rack, holding laptop & thunderbolt dock. The dock means it's a single cable to unplug to take the laptop out. It's probably cheaper to get something off AliExpress, but being able to see the products in store to have a better idea if it would work was worth it for me.
"No. I'm going to say you can't always avoid getting into water."

True but accidentally ending up in water is rare. Deliberately putting yourself in water because you can swim is common. I'd still rather swim personally, but if I stayed out of the sea I would be safer.
As someone who likes to rent a car in a foreign country and drive to random places to get a feel for local culture, I also like cruises because...I like being on a floating hotel for a vacation too. Floating around in the middle of the ocean is a great feeling. I also know how to plan a land vacation.

I'm not sure why some have such a disdain for other people's vacation choice. I don't care to lay on a beach or be at a pool for most of my vacation but to each their own.
<3 I feel this way with many other simulators.... They try so hard to have many things but there's zero element of "is this fun" and plain quirkiness. Good old Sid Meier's Pirates has more fun than playing these soulless games:(

The most recent example is KSP2 - they unironically have degraded the physics engine on purpose because the lead designer thought that wobbly rockets were fun. I think that person has never played KSP1, KSP2 is simply another soulless game with small injections of carefully controlled-dosage "fun".
The point is that the semantics could very well be just an alternative form of function calls.
> There isn’t a direct line from you not being able to find the same square footage for $1600 in 2019 as you did in 2009, and you winding up as a hopeless drug addict in Cal Anderson

Yes. There. Is.
I'm not sure I see the point? Applications generally run on P cores by default; there's no need to go through those sorts of gymnastics to make that happen.
What I read from that post is that you are outraged, or acting outraged, and want to abuse other people as a result. It's hard to find any specific argument in the comment otherwise.

> The past 20 years of the "compassion" approach

According to research, the problem is rising housing prices, not compassion. Human rights are also not compassion. It's sick how trendy it is to disdain compassion, human rights, and any other good.

You seem like more of a danger than the many unhoused people I've encountered -- including people I talked to last night and this afternoon, people I see every day. They aren't talking about locking up everyone like you - which I personally think would be a better step for society. (Don't worry; unlike you I don't think I should have the power to lock up people because of my personal feelings.)

You may laugh it off, but that shows the reason behind your proposal. You have more power than they do, so if you don't like them you abuse them. They same goes for the WSJ.
Because the country has lower standards of living and a government that busts independent unions while deliberately manipulating their currency to make sure workers do not end up with too much buying power.
I think you should have done one cruise (at least) in your live to earn the right to have an opinion. I did, and would like to vote to ban all cruise ships. It is a totally unnecessary form of travel. It is not travel. I don't know what to call it, for what I have seen for most people it is a time of continuous eating. It is surreal.
Probably because the American couldn’t even pay for housing on wage the Chinese worker can.
The issue is that when you carve out exceptions to human rights, they get abused.

If you can suspend the rights of someone declared mentally ill, the unscrupulous parts of government will be tempted to declare politically inconvenient people mentally ill and strip them of their rights. Even in the United States, this happened during the suffragette movement; those women hunger striking for the vote were sometimes imprisoned in asylums for hysteria.
Or make healthcare accessible. Make housing accessible. Make food accessible. We can house feed and care for every person on the planet but we don’t because money. A made up concept that has no actual value outside of what we place on it. It’s arbitrary, as much as markets would want us to believe otherwise. As a species we choose to let them have that power, and with it they will kill us all (seriously)
And here I am thinking that a place like HN can appreciate that Econ 101 axioms don't translate perfectly to the real world.

Moving call centre jobs to India and Philippines 20 years ago didn't exactly make those that lost their jobs more productive over the long run. The textbook says it should have, as American comparative advantage should be in higher value-added activities.

The only problem is that the textbook also thinks re-skilling is free, everyone has alternate options for employment, and the labour market re-balances instantly.
If homeless shelters are shitholes, neglected, understaffed, with indifferent and uncaring (or abusing) personnel, with no boundaries between the inmates, so that dangerous and unstable people make it hell for the more well adjusted homeless people living there without recourse, then many or most homeless are not going to want to stay there.
Isn't this kind of what the author was saying? Spartan Military and Elites were a closely overlapping Venn-diagram, and they both were corruptible.

I'm not seeing a wide enough divergence in what you are saying compared to the author to justify that the author has 'low merit ideas'.

Unless you are thinking the ruling class elites and the soldiers were very distinct groups? But that wasn't really the case was it? It was a military society right? So Soldiers and rulers were the same group. So why are you stating the decline was because of 'elite's but not the 'soldiers' thus the article was 'low merit', when those were same group?
Hello everyone, this is a simple tutorial showing how to get started with SvelteKit and Tauri.
I should have clarified; sorry. I was referring to how some editors and IDEs can interact with git repositories. For instance, if I was editing a file that had uncommitted changes, it might display that text in a different colour. Interaction with GitHub might be in the form of browsing pull requests within the IDE.

This is what I do with Emacs using a package called Magit[1]; VS Code comes with something similar.

> It’s AGPL licensed which is interesting. Much like Redmine this means modifications or customizations are a license violation unless shared correct?

No, AGPL means that if you're using it to provide a network service you must offer the source *to the users*, but not necessarily share it with the world as a whole.

If you use it internally at a company, your modified source must be made available to your internal users. It is not required to be shared with the upstream project or the world as a whole. This is the same as any other GPL software, just with the AGPL network interaction provision.

The only time AGPL requires sharing your modifications with the world is if you're using the AGPL code to provide services to the world.

> I wonder if these licenses are hurting the adoption of OSS alternatives for enterprise software

There are definitely a lot of enterprises that are paranoid about even using anything GPL related, mostly without good reason.

If an organization that doesn't want to even consider sharing their modifications to code they're getting for free avoids using (A)GPL software as a result I think most developers who choose those licenses would say everything is working as intended.
His attitude is symbolic of why we'll eventually all burn up.
How is your life, or anyone's life, made better, by shading someone from doing some interesting and awesome?

Shading something you can quote, that you didn't contribute to, with different numbers makes you happier?

You need to give them a purpose.

Pokémon Crystal AI Tournament – Scientifically Ranking the Trainers [video]
Parts of this problem are part of what a company a friend of mine works for is trying to solve:

https://xcures.com/

Part of what they do is they match patients with clinical trials for whom they would be candidates and then facilitate the process on an on-going basis. Apparently this bypasses a number of bureaucratic hurdles which can be faced by patients; for example a patient receiving care from a particular research institution might not be informed about trials being conducted by other, non-affiliated institutions.

Naturally, there's rather more than this to them, but this part sticks out in my mind.

And finally, take what I'm saying with a bit of a grain of salt because I am remembering from casual dinner-time discussions that I had some time ago with my friend. My memory might be bad, they may have changed what they do since I last talked with my friend about it, etc.
> Walmart Inc.'s chief executive earned $24.1 million in fiscal 2023, according to a government filing.

Even if we assume only 3 cashiers (x3 for daily shifts) at the 4,630 Walmarts in the USA, and they make only $10 an hour, that's still $150 million a year.

Automating the CEO would save more money per person replaced, but the cashiers still are a total larger dollar group.
Thanks for the reply — I guess my take on 'inane corner' is larger, volumetrically. I've been to conferences for fields that were well-attended but that I'd classify as corners because of the nicheness of the skillset and difficulty translating outside of academia.
I've tried Amazon's chat function and it's put me in an infinite loop on several occasions. I don't know why they didn't have an agent available (it was business hours). I was surprised that a company with Amazon's resources doesn't have a better handle on this, until I remembered that this is the company that doesn't let you say the reason is "wrong size" when returning clothing items. They're not stupid — they're trying to make things difficult for you.
Different places have different costs of living.
Don't worry, in today's climate it will be people outside the consensus opinions of the elites getting locked up, so clearly "bad people" /s

Three things -

https://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page is quite good or at least a starting place. It's very x86-centric, though, and doesn't have a lot of coverage. Also, a decent portion is out of date. I used it a decent amount as at least a component of my research for You in CPU.

Agree that modern systems are even more terribly documented than systems in general. So many of the resources I found, even recent ones, were referring to stuff from the original x86 that had long changed. Almost everything I found about ELF or memory layout assumed the memory space was 4 GiB.

Finally, I hope Putting the "You" in CPU gets well-SEOed if only so people like me Googling for modern answers to these questions will find at least something. I tried to make everything as relevant to modern day tech as possible, and to link to up-to-date resources.
> Been there, and was luckily able to get out because of no kids.

We had 5 (all over 18 now). I got out of it because she started hanging with the nearby homeless community and found other guys go glom onto.

Then one night, while I was asleep on the sofa, she came home and emptied out her bedroom (hoarded to the ceiling). I was one door away and never stirred. I just work up and the room was completely empty.

I'm still kind of stunned by that.
As someone with direct experience with someone that has a mental illness, there needs to be something better than the present system.

I think something went right, then wrong with the treatment of mental illness in california.

Years ago, when the laws were changed to allow mentally-ill but benign or even non-ill people to escape the "snake pits", lots of people could recover.

But later state mental illness funding was cut.

Now clearly mentally ill people - who needed help - were turned away unless they were clearly "a danger to themselves and others".

Many homeless people are these mentally ill people, and can't get help (and they can't be forced in unless they are dangerous, which is usually how recovery begins).

Additionally, some clearly mentally ill people suffer from anosognosia, which seems to fix their self-image in their mind to eliminate any self doubts or insight into their mental image.

At a minimum, there needs to be a way - with checks and balances - to support recovery for people who don't have insight into their disease, and the current system doesn't provide it.

I also think it would pay for itself, as lots of mentally ill people don't get proper treatment, yet are still a huge burden on the health care system.
We Can Hear Silence Like a Sound, Scientists Say
A wrist rest is essential for me. I notice without one my wrists and shoulders start to ache. A good wrist rest with lots of padding elevates your wrists to a good typing position without pinching the tendons.
If you’re running a high gross margin business, that totally makes sense. That also leaves an opening for a competitor to come in and treat your high margin as their opportunity, maybe by going cheaper on CS.

In a low gross margin business, I think the days of having excellent and high status customer service are already gone (and may have never been).

To the operator example above, a 5 minute long-distance call in 1980 cost the equivalent of about $7.50 in today’s money. It’s probably not that hard to figure out the conclusion of squeezing those costs and margins out of telecom companies, but I also think we’ve all been made better off for it, except perhaps people whose dream it was to be a telephone operator for 45 years.
This is another case of "enshitification".
lol water.css never escapes me

glad you like it :3
Right? We should stop at allocating money and then pivot to actually making meaningful impact. This article is just a megaphone for people who don’t like seeing how society treats those less fortunate.

You used to be standing around bored watching the cashier swipe items, now you're busy swiping items yourself; I suspect the number of gum purchases drop on the self-checkout line (but the longer winding path may grab a few more drinks, but only if it's backed up).
Cost of living is somewhere between 40% to 70% less in China.
A step like this one establishes the precedent. In a few years, the WSJ will be advocating locking up people they don't like, making they case that they are ipso facto mentally unstable, a threat to society, etc. How about protesters? Left-wing ones, of course.

Many people in business arguably belong in an asylum - how about the wealthiest person in the world? how about some WSJ op-ed writers? crypto bros? some SV VCs? - and mentally unstable people with power are far more threat than the person on the subway.

As I said, many people are still not on this workflow, but it’s clearly the workflow everything is moving towards. I don’t believe anyone wants to take the internet away from people not on this workflow, but I’d give it up and be essentially unaffected, and I think there’s a growing minority in that position. Therefore, it seems like a reasonable experiment to pursue to inform future development.
Why do you think you could always evaluate the options properly? What if that is not the case?
Inexpensive hand saw.
Rocket ships don't have to cross the plane cars travel perpendicular to the direction of their travel. That's a very big distinction.
I guess it is possible that in the future there will be generally few people who go on holidays to distant places or travel very far. It is a relatively recent phenomenon for anyone except the wealthy, as in the past, what, 100 years or so? Maybe someday a hundred years from now people will study "The Golden Age of Travel and Vacation".
One could also argue that this continuous feedback loop is the scientific process in action.
The only problem with the argument is that it’s completely false (not you, the company).

> These days, China's labor costs are only 4% cheaper than those in the U.S. when productivity is factored in, according to Oxford Economics.

https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/17/news/economy/china-cheap-la....

So once you realize the company is using the excuse (lying?) about the labor excuse, then you have to wonder what the real reason is.

Especially after their disaster of a 2022 (which was directly the result of supply chain problems in... Drum roll please... China).

> Americans don't live evenly spread out of their country

I mentioned that in my comment as well. The "different subcultures" part, and the "outside of the major cities" bit. Of course large cities formed in areas all around the US. I'm talking about the majority of the land mass of the US, which is widely dispersed.

> There's plenty of opportunity in the US to invest in other forms of transportation

Inefficient transportation is necessitated by having 9 million square kilometers of land, where your friends, family, and jobs are spread across it. There's plenty of efficient public transportation inside the large cities. Admittedly outside of large cities, methods of efficient transportation are sparse. I used to take a train from my college in a small town in the midwest about a 4 hour ride up to Chicago, and then hop on another train to visit my family, which was another couple of hours on that train, and then the last 5-10 miles was usually via car or taxi, as busses outside of the major cities are few and far between. That 6+ hour journey, with an additional layover period between the two trains, was compared to a 2 hour drive via personal vehicle. So yeah, people out here buy cars.

The idea that efficient transportation is completely stonewalled by politics strikes me as someone who hasn't themselves lived in a suburban or rural region of the US before. The kind of logistical problems that the US would have to face to make more efficient forms of transportation across the entire US are unlike the problems the Netherlands would have faced on a much, much smaller segment of the Earth.
Main reason is that naval war hasn't been important. After sinking the Moskava, neither side has enough ships to do anything. This might change after the end of the grain agreement.

Ukraine probably doesn't want anti-ship missiles. They would prefer cruise missiles like Storm Shadow for attacking ground targets. They also make their own Neptune anti-ship missile for defense. Plus, Sevastopol is heavily defended, Ukraine has avoided saturation attacks and makes more effective smaller attacks. They have lots of more important targets.

Finally, the west doesn't want to escalate the conflict with Russia. Most of the Black Sea Fleet is hiding in Crimea or Russia. If Crimea is too dangerous, they can retreat to Novorossiysk.
The government will reclaim the land unless I pay for it with money I make from the system. It’s not possible to opt out anymore. They stole the land too but my guns are smaller.

If taxes were applied based on total wealth and not income, the two would be comparable. But the taxes you're talking about, income taxes, aren't taxing wealth but the rate of change of wealth, and I can accept that we need to apply slightly different principles in that case.
"a low-price tools brand"

Excuse me, but what? The Craftsman brand historically was a consumer premium brand, priced midway between tradesmen premium brands like Snap-On and consumer "hardware store cheap tools" -- Craftsman was never a low-price brand. Craftsman used to stand for quality, with a lifetime no-questions-asked guarantee wherein, if the tool fails for any reason, it will be replaced. Period. No questions asked, no receipt required. Quality. And men proudly used their father's or grandfather's tools.

I remember well when Craftsman moved hand tool manufacturing from USA to China. Clearly cost of production was lower, but prices didn't change. The company could pocket the difference... and that's just how it went, at least until the consumer wised up and realized what was happening : a quiet substitution of Chinese-made cheap products but keeping yesterday's premium price. Cheap tool at top-dollar price. Tradesmen are not fools -- they know when their tools are not holding up, and they're being cheated. So the consumer rightly felt cheated and abandoned the brand.

Sears broke the contract, and quickly lost the trust. In just a few years, they destroyed one of the most trusted brands which took 100 years to build. The brand was sold off, and now it's just another meaningless string of letters. Today, Sears is dead and gone, for many reasons just like this. Good riddance.
The biggest problem is who gets to decide which individuals "need" help.
"We need to have a much stronger “right to try” presumption"

Quite.

I'm now four years older than my mother was when she passed away after two really exciting years. I can't remember the exact description of the killer but "squamous" was involved. Radio, chemo, surgery bordering on butchery etc. Bout one seemed to be in remission and all clear sounded only to be rescinded a few months later, second run was a negative outcome. Faith healer for a laugh "but you never know" - mum wasn't daft but when you are out of reasonable options, you might as well invent a few more!

However, there is still hope whilst breathe still flows and there is absolutely nothing wrong with hoping for a miracle. They do sometimes happen. Keep fighting and kicking and being a pain and only give up when it is obviously hopeless.

Love you too. Take care.
My wife scanned an item, used Apple Pay, the phone dinged, but the stupid self checkout was still bitching about something, so the payment never actually cleared.

And she didn't notice and walked out.

I came back a few days later and it took me nearly half an hour to explain that I wanted to pay for something without buying it. Finally a manager figured it out heh.

Can you really blame them? So many of us have gotten used to companies doing everything they can to make unsubscribing as difficult as possible, I'm not surprised their first instinct is to email.
