Amusingly enough, being able (or not being able) to gain root access to my own devices is one of the main reasons I can't address or verify their security - especially as official support is dropped over time.

Modern phones and other appliances have (or are) computers to which it is nigh impossible to operate as root. You might say you have to pwn them even if you supposedly own them ;)

Thanks for sharing this project. Love the sounds [1]. Unfortunately, the github states the windows version is broken (haven't verified myself). Also, just personal taste, I can see myself getting tied of the bucklespring sound. Klack having different switch sounds seems worth the price alone.

Missing the point I think. It's really disrespectful to use a loud / mechanical keyboard in a public place, or really when anyone else is nearby. This lets folks use normal/good keyboards and still satisfy the weird craving some have for mechanical noises through their own headphones. Probably will save some RSI surgeries too, people can use healthy low key travel keyboards instead of high travel mechanical switches, while still getting the clicking sound they want.
IIUC:

For Material Science: very little

For Chemistry: Reading the paper, it looks like DFT[1] gets the same result than the experiments. It's nice to confirm DFT in a weird scenario, but it's not groundbreaking. There are a few versions and parameters to tweak in DFT, so it may help to choose the right one for similar molecules, but I'm not an expert in DFT.

Black holes: That was totally hyperbole. I chuckle. It looks like people have been using pi-holes to predict the strength of the bound between molecules [2]. It's nice to be able to "see" them in a real example, but doesn't look groundbreaking. (There is always a small possibility that this technique is improved and in a few years everyone is using it to identify molecules or something like that. I don't expect that, but you never know. Sometimes experimental results create a complete new branch.)

You think this is something which only Apple does?

Go try to buy a Snapdragon CPU from Qualcomm. Or an Exynos from Samsung. Or (going a little further afield) a Graviton CPU from Amazon.

There are a lot of components which are only sold to select manufacturing partners, or which are entirely exclusive to a manufacturer. Apple is not doing anything outlandish here.

I think what hangs the Mac isn't the remote file system as such, but rather some local app or (more likely) low-level OS service assuming that all mounted filesystems are local (or at least low-latency and highly available).
eh, as someone with not-even-severe ADHD (it's fairly well-managed on a low dose of medication as long as I work out every day) those things seem normal to me---not good, and incredibly frustrating, but not uncommon.

I didn't take my meds yesterday because I'm not currently home so they're not in the same place they normally are and I forgot. I was going to go for a run, but by 8 am it was so hot I couldn't do it and just walked outside for a little while. I don't like taking my meds too late, and I wasn't working or really doing anything all day so I figured it was fine.

My partner did have to work yesterday, and she asked me to feed her mice. Their cage has four (maybe three? several) levels, each one with its own door. I opened the second door from the top to feed them, but they were on the top level so I ended up opening that door to feed them instead. I then happily went and fixed myself dinner.

I didn't notice I left the other door open until she came back an hour later. I'm just glad none of the mice escaped.

1. The platform doesn't exist to do basic things like authentication or push notifications, so people hack together expensive cloud services or do insecure things instead. There is no rulemaking that will help this, we just need a better and universal platform.

2. "Keeping things patched" works in a world with Apple-like margins and it simply does not in a low-volume, startup-oriented, competitive market. No rules pay for a company to spend $500k a year on a dev team when a product didn't make enough profit - developers cost a ton and make the prices much higher, so these products are not the ones that win in the market.

3. If open standards cannot satisfy #1, then we have to look for other corporate structures, like a "Microsoft + Intel" marriage where hardware can be sold for cheap but the software remains supported by third parties. We see some of this with cloud companies like Alexa, Apple, and Google Home, but it's not really healthy yet, because there are no incentives to do things on the LAN in a secure way, so we are just hiding the costs of servers in other ways.

>we’d need super heavy switches for this to be a thing

It continuously surprises me that none of the Hall effect keyboard makers (Wooting, Drunkdeer, and... I think Steelseries and Corsair have some as well) don't offer ultra-high-weight springs as at least an option for this reason.

Interestingly, there's another keyboard manufacturer, Roli, who makes a board that has some very interesting modes of input (as they accept inputs of variable pressure, give you the ability to slide smoothly between keys, and vary the kind of input from each key by shaking your fingers). Of course, that's not a computer keyboard, but it's still a glimpse into the kinds of interesting input devices we could make if only we bothered to do so.

L is the opposite position to A, so also an edge letter.

I too learnt to type in part on a mechanical typewriter keyboard -- there was a TV kids show about journalists and I wanted to mimic them I think. IME (a long time ago) you wanted to have consecutive keys on opposite hands because it took the whole hand moving to provide a good force to move the key and impact the ribbon hard enough to make a good print of the letter. But then, as you said, you would occassionally get the type arms locking up. I definitely couldn't use my pinky to type on that keyboard.

TH, ER, ON, AN are the most common letter pairs [in British English]; TH is good on a QWERTY but the other pairs are not particularly well placed I think.
> Problem: Energetic young boys are having trouble sitting in school for hours on end.

That's not the problem

> My solution: Focus more on hands on activities, bring back woodshop and metalshop, include more breaks for physical activity during the day.

Schools today seem to have more hands on activities and breaks for physical activities then they did when I was a kid in the 1980s; at least my kids' school certainly does.

While it helps some for ADHD (not its main purpose), it doesn't actually stop ADHD from being an issue for kids (not just boys) that have it. Individualized support helps more, and, where appropriate, medication helps even more.

> The solution we went with: Get the boys so high on stimulants they can sit still like the girls.

Getting high on stimulants doesn't make people more able to sit still.

Its true that some stimulants have a paradoxical effect that is the exact opposite of getting high in certain doses for people with ADHD, and this is leveraged therapeutically (not just boys), but, well, that's not the same thing.

ADHD isn’t the same as being energetic. Clinical depression isn't sadness.
> It's a prime example of the risks of welfare programs, they are presumably all run with very good intentions but in this case the industry is so wholly dependent on the subsidies that we can't remove them

I don't think this can reasonably be interpreted as a cautionary tale about subsidizing food prices because even if we never subsidized food production, the alternative was starvation among the poor, which seems strictly worse. Yeah, we have a system that is dependent on subsidies, but that's precisely because human beings are necessarily dependent on food. As far as I can tell, the only way to avoid both subsidies and starvation is to drastically reduce inequality.

I could also believe that we shouldn't subsidize food production, but rather we should have essentially expanded food stamps--basically give poor (and maybe even middle class) people a food stipend to offset the rising food costs.

> Hopefully people wiser than me can orchestrate a soft landing here, because I can't personally see how we safely transition our food industry off the centralized, subsidized model.

"Centralized" just means "more efficient" and thus "lower cost". Transitioning away from that model necessarily implies higher costs, which means you need subsidies so people can still afford to eat. Moreover, I don't think you're going to transition as far away from "centralized" as people think, because most of the country doesn't have the climate and geography to support local farming at the scale required to feed people (especially along the coasts). Moreover, you're just not going to grow bananas, citrus fruit, etc at scale in northern states.

I’m curious, is there a resource that teaches font appreciation and utility implications, like color theories?

I imagine fonts are like a plot full of weeds, there’s all sorts of information they give off to people who know, but most people don’t have eyes for what they are looking at.
Genuine question, why is HN so obsessed with fonts? Most people do not care at all. And we all know the strange love towards comic sans from "not computer people", that might even show a complete different understanding of beauty.

Please, read that sentence again.
Agreed, but I’d soften the language on “proving” it works. Often we’re providing an assurance that a complex system works with the combinations of examples and inputs we’ve provided.

There are approaches to provide much stronger assurances, both on the testing and implementation sides, but they’re typically outside the scope of pure play TDD.

And I’ll take a decent assurance over the lack of one any day of the week.

This will almost certainly flip by 2035. What will eventually phase out existing gas cars will be the gasoline-distribution infrastructure’s phase out. (We are already seeing this in Norway [1], where three quarters of gas stations have closed despite only ~15% EV fleet penetration.)

> for the ... Raku devs it does not appear that finding references

So the Raku server has a deficiency, currently. Too bad. But in Emacs you can work around that by writing into your config file:

(remove-hook 'xref-backend-functions #'lsp--xref-backend t)

if you use "lsp-mode.el" or equivalently

(remove-hook 'xref-backend-functions 'eglot-xref-backend t)

if you happen to use "eglot.el". (There are two major language server clients available for Emacs.)

This will not turn off "finding references" completely because Emacs happens to have a default backend called "etags-xref-backend" based on a reverse index file. You can easily generate that in your project directory using a shell tool shipped with Emacs or even execute that automatically from inside a git commit hook. So Emacs can stand in until Raku's language server is fixed.

So ... while you would be in trouble with a commercial editor now, you can continue hacking happily thanks to Emacs' flexibility.

Not really if done right to be fair. It's just a matter of implementing a signature verification of the firmware updates that are installed on the device.

If it's a matter of national security surely you don't use IoT devices connected to the public internet. At least the devices are in some private network, where the traffic is under your control. So if you don't do security updates it may be acceptable under that circumstances.
