You can technically use any display as a projector. You just need to put a huge lens in front of it that is capable of collecting all the light that is being emitted in all directions and focusing it onto the surface. No, it won't be practical, and it definitely won't be bright. But you can use that method to project slides (remember those?) onto a wall by putting them in front of a torch and using a magnifying glass.
I personally think we should eliminate poverty, war and have a 3 day work week. We don't seem to like that idea for some reason.
They are getting higher; Poland's economy is growing, there's no doubt about that, but you also need to understand that an economically weak country doesn't have a lot of bargaining power in the grand scheme of things and is easily influenced by other countries.

Let's take Cuba, US said don't trade with Cuba if you want to be okay with us, and the world complied. Similarly for all socialist countries, and every country in which the US intervened directly or otherwise.

Countries are not independent islands, and the American government, and the Russian and Chinese regimes sure know how to stick their fingers in every pie available.

What do you do if you are the #3 ratings agency, and your ratings never make headlines?
I guess I'll just chime in with my experience:

I chose nvidia when I made the switch to linux probably 8 years ago. At the time AMD had not yet started their open source driver efforts. I haven't had any major complaints besides updates once giving a black screen. During most of that time AMD drivers were making a lot of changes that I didn't want to deal with. I believe they are a good choice now but they certainly did not seem to be then.

As far as steam, I've been using it happily on mint the entire time. It has had a big picture mode for some time. I'm a little baffled by people who seem to be waiting for a steamOS general release to make the switch.
> No different than DX12/Metal. these new APIs were made because driver writers need more power. But that means the usage will be niche, either for top companies who can throw money to find driver writers or hobbyists who invest in the future (or become headhunted by said top companies).

The BIG difference is that DX12, Metal, LibGNM(X) and NVN come with productive SDKs, documentation, IDE tooling, frameworks, in a big support package.

> To be fair, OpenGL was never the main API for Xbox/Apple/Windows to begin with. And it's been several generations since Playstation/Switch really endorsed OpenGL. I wasn't expecting Vulkan to change that overnight.

OpenGL was definilty the main API on Apple platforms after OS X was introduced with its NeXTSTEP roots, and if it wasn't for Apple endorsing GL ES on the iPhone, no one would have cared.

Symbian did support it, but it wasn't until Asphalt on N95, that it mattered, given that it was doing software rendering on most devices.

> That said, Nintendo does seem to welcome Vulkan more warmly than Sony has. So that's one more major player.

While the Switch supports GL 4.6 and Vulkan, it is NVN, what most studios actually use.
I don't understand your line between dependency and addictivenes. How are those different/how do we rank differences in terms of dependency and addictivenes? The genie is out of the bottle with Heroin and you can't put it back so what do we do? If addiction is such a problem, shouldn't we make it as cheap and as safe as possible? The only way to do that is legalization. Saying it has no place in society doesn't make any more sense than saying cancer doesn't have a place in society - we have to confront realities.

Yes, but that's also because the commercial applications of something that needs to be cooled to −180.2°C are also extremely limited.
A couple of weeks ago happened the same. At least in Uruguay, that typical winter temperatures are around the low 10s Celsius, we had several episodes where temps went to near 30°C. Even we went from a cold wave with near 0C to almost 30 in a couple of days.

There is a seasonal high peak near the start of the winter (that happened too), but being so hot so frequently is very atypical for this season.

So far we've always had the backup plan of just minting a billion dollar coin. Once that option is taken away at some point this whole thing becomes a lot more serious, and I would expect an accelerated move away from US government bonds and the USD (from people outside the US). Of course actually minting that coin might also damage trust in the USD.

What’s New in Go 1.21 – A Comprehensive Notes
Well, the good news is you can't be oppressed by money. Money is just a value intermediary. What you value might require you doing something of value to someone else. That might be employing them at a steady wage, or giving them back more money later than they gave you today, or doing some task or service for someone who contracts or employs you, or whatever it is.

In terms of oppression: it's possible. I would just put the blame where it's deserved. Corporate lobbying is not bad. The government, who takes money from you to pay for itself, should be lobby-proof. That might be one of the most important things they do. If they can't just take money and spend it well without being corrupted by companies who'd like it to do things, that is a failure of government.

As for being fun and creative: up until not too long ago many lives were short and almost all were hard. Some of us, especially in the West, have been able to break away from that due to various advances. That's great, but it's not something to return to as much as it is to keep improving towards, or settle for the advances we have and enjoy them.

> Doesn't this come down to what entity actually issued the invoice?

The way a value added tax works is the company that issues the invoice owes tax on its own markup.

In normal circumstances, this means the company that issues the invoice charges 20% on the full amount of the product, and their suppliers charge 20% on their invoices, with the first company paying the VAT on those invoices to their suppliers and the difference to the HMRC (who also collect VAT from the suppliers)

Uber's argument was "hey, we only owe HMRC for our markup, but these drivers supplying taxi services [probably] don't earn enough to owe VAT either, so we won't add VAT to our payments to them and can lower the overall bill to our end customers.

The worst case solution is just brute forcing, yes.

An LBA is effectively "just" a Turing machine that has a finite tape.

A typical current computer is an LBA only if you disallow all IO of any sort or bound that IO and include it as part of the system you analyse and so fix the values which will be provided as IO, which of course is a very unusual situation, and so that constraint does not really make the halting problem more tractable in situations we usually care about.

But you do lose energy as current flows.

When you start with 10 elecrons on the left of the wire and none on the right and end up with 5 on both sides, you lost all energy that was stored in the system.
This looks super sleek than the one recommended in the post
>Where did the energy go then?

Through the circuit. Heat is energy loss.

The heat comes from the resistance. No resistance, no heat. To be more specific, the heat is from the kinetic energy of electrons bumping into the conductive material; no collision no heat.

This was never about the U.S. not having enough money, with the USD as the currency for oil it's never going to be too hard for the U.S. to get enough USD together one way or another.

The problem is the U.S. simply being unwilling to pay interest. Which you cannot solve by printing more money.

I have a Windows VM on my main machine that I pass a GPU to for playing games. The idea was I'd just snapshot the disk so if windows hosed me I could roll back. In practice I just play games in linux through proton or native though. The Windows install always needs updates so it is a chore when I actually want to use it.

As an aside, I cannot believe how it is impossible to script the base windows install to do updates through the command line on a strict schedule! I ended up having to install some 3rd party powershell package and I still have some annoying limitations around feature updates with it. This should be built in!
Who cares if the world is signalling that they are starting to think about getting off the dollar and credit agencies are downgrading the US? Saudi Arabia is also talking about accepting Yuan as an alternative to USD.

I remember reading an essay by Brookes, where he makes the distinction between a "program", which can basically only be used by the one who wrote it (or with their help); a "product", which can be used by anyone; and a "system", which is more general-purpose and reliable. His point was that the first is fairly easy for one person to do in their spare time; the last often takes years of polish, debugging, extensions, and so on.

And for academic work in particular, going from "prototype good enough to get numbers out of" to "product someone can reliably use" is a huge amount of effort, along which there are zero papers.

EDIT: Here's a summary:

A program is just a set of instructions that seems to do what you want. All programmers say "Oh, I can easily beat the 10 lines / day cited by industrial programmers." They are talking about just coding something, not building a product.

A product (more useful than a program):

* can be run, tested, repaired by anyone

* usable in many environments on many sets of data.

* must be tested

* documentation

Brooks estimates a 3x cost increase for this.

To be a component in a programming system (collection of interacting programs like an OS):

* input and output must conform in syntax, semantics to defined interfaces

* must operate within resource budget

* must be tested with other components to check integration (very expensive since interactions grows exponentially in n).

Brooks estimates that this too costs 3x.

A combined programming system product is 9x more costly than a program.

Obviously the location matters. This isn’t a where’s the coldest/hottest competition.
Yeah, 102F is pretty hot, but it's insane for mid-winter. Downright terrifying to anyone who's been really watching this madness progress over past decades (as opposed to hiding their heads in the sand like so many have been until recently).
A theory I read was that because at most 3 people can share a Nobel prize, one rushed it out naming just two others. Subsequent versions have named about 8.

Email clients.

Back in 2017-2018, I tried about 8–10 Linux email clients, for use on openSUSE.

Thunderbird is by far the best. It’s the most complete, the most flexible, and the most capable, and it integrates well with various email hosting services as well as shared calendars and address book services.

I tried Evolution (it's very tied to GNOME and the GNOME way of doing things; it's noticeably MS Outlook-like, quite complex, and I couldn’t get calendaring and other things working.)

I also tried Balsa, Geary, Nylas/Mailspring, Sylpheed, Claws, GNUstep Mail, KMail, and others.

Sylpheed is nice and simple but misses vital functionality for me.

Claws is a bigger, slower, over-complicated version of Sylpheed, and rather than missing vital stuff, it’s festooned with every little option someone somewhere wanted. And _still_ misses important stuff. I stayed with it for a month or two, but its lack of threading was a nuisance. As soon as it starts to check for mail, you must wait: you can't read, let alone compose or edit or anything else, until it's done.

The others are, to me, basically toys. :-( They may look nice or have some unique UI feature, but in terms of filtering, spam detection and handling, multi-account support (because who has just 1 email address in the 21st century?) or some other significant important feature, they are lacking.

I dislike formatted mail. https://useplaintext.email/ is absolutely right. Read it, and learn something.

I would not hate an email client that enforced incoming mail to plain text, or minimal markup: bold, /italic/, _underline_ [note that HN will screw this up], and nothing else.

But it breaks some emails. That rules out some clients for me.

However, I actively want my client to enforce plain text replies. Always, no exceptions, strip everything else out.

Since that experiment, I have been back on Thunderbird, which after some 20 years, still has not been beaten for me. I have been using it since it was the mail component in Netscape Navigator, before Firefox existed. It’s mature and it works. It’s a bit clunky and a bit big, but it needs to be to do all the stuff it does.

I’ve also tried a number of proprietary clients, from MS Internet Mail and News (later “Outlook Express” but unrelated to Outlook), Outlook itself, Apple Mail and others. MS IM&N was pretty good. Outlook is a horror. Apple Mail is OK but does not work the way I like.

All the others are specific to one OS, usually Windows (e.g. The Bat), or ancient (Pegasus), or unmaintained (Eudora).

Thunderbird remains the best there is.
I don't use Mac myself but the impression I got was a lot of Mac back catalog games got flushed when 32-bit was deprecated.
