>You can go to the store and buy an entire PC with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Edge. Then you can install Firefox on it, or remove Windows entirely and install Linux. The trouble comes when you can't separate them anymore.

If you don't want Windows why would you buy a PC that has it pre-installed and the license price thus included in the total? The fact that you couldn't get a PC without Windows on it was one of the points made in the Microsoft antitrust case of the late 90s.
>Wayland’s minimal core protocols are lacking most of the features that non-trivial apps and desktops actually need to work–such as screen locking, screen sharing, cross-app window activation, non-integer scaling, and so on.

Seems enough to show why it's a contentious decision.
It's very disingenuous to conflate suicide (something done by someone) with violence (something done to someone else).

Suicide is an act of bodily autonomy.
I have a solar cell grid system barely auto sufficient in power generation.

Brazil does great in solar radiation, I'm only not 100% off grid yet because my wife have an EV.
Since you're a founder, maybe you can shift some of your focus-heavy work to night time. A lot of your noise sources shouldn't be an issue then.

If moving is ever an option, you might consider a house with a furnished basement. You can setup your main office there, or just have a second work area for when you need the extra quiet. It's also possible to add some treatments to a room to sound-proof it to some degree, up to the extent you might find in a recording or studio booth, say in a radio station.
We don't have any details about how it works, but it's possible to implement this in an anonymous way. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37551708. Whether google actually does this is unknown, but considering that google is voluntarily disclosing this to the public I'm willing to hold off the pitchforks until we get more details.
Check to make sure your windows are properly sealed. If it's an old apartment you might need to redo the calk or add weather stripping. A good seal makes a huge difference. Rule of thumb is if air can get through, sound can.

I also wear noise canceling headphones while working, usually without anything playing. They do wonders to muffle outside noise.

When I listen to music while working it's usually brain.fm - music specially designed to help you focus. Anacdotally I've found it useful, and they also have a whitepaper going into the science behind their approach.

Comparing my cheap spice chopper and my cheap burr grinder, I noticed a clear improvement. Maybe that's because the spice chopper was so bad at chopping coffee beans. I doubt the fancy burr grinders make much difference, but then again I was skeptical of the cheap burr grinder until I tried it.
> Phase 1 will use a two-hop proxy configuration to create a connection to a destination server first with a tunnel to a Google owned proxy and second to a third-party owned proxy server. The first proxy will never know the client's target destination and the second proxy will never know the client's IP address.

Unless they share the information with each other, which is guaranteed to be impossible... how exactly?
Hopefully they'll use Lifepo4 instead of NMC for longer cycles and less environmental impact.

Wayland doesn't actually add an additional frame of latency like you'd expect by just saying "vsync" in a normal context. https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2021/12/14/about-gaming-...

In cases where your game occasionally dips below 240hz enabling VRR will prevent additional latency without requiring you introduce tearing in the display pipeline.
"Exploitation" is an arguable word, when without outside intervention there would be no employment above a few cents a day. Any employment by those who can pay even a dollar a day could instantly ratchet an entire family out of abject poverty.
Yep. Very impressive.

At the end of the demo video for this he mentions he probably won’t use this for Portal. But he may adapt a version/use a somewhat similar technique just for the Ratman graffiti.
Similar to how tor works? This is basically tor but with 2 hops rather than 3.
My version of imposter syndrome is worrying I'm actually an expert beginner. How can one ever really know? I have some risk factors: I've been in a small team at the same company for over a decade, I have some pretty strong opinions about the way things should be done (at least for the kinds of projects I work on), and I dislike and avoid most of popular frameworks out there (not because they're popular, but because they aren't aligned with my development philosophies). On paper that sure looks like I'm high-risk for Expert Beginnerism. Is there some test we can take to know?
That's quite likely seeing how the term originally designated "the analysis of data about the state" [1].

It protects user privacy from being violated by Google's competitors.

I think it would be more useful if Google contributed nodes to Tor rather than creating their own (confusingly) centralised, decentralised alternative.

I live within a 5 hour drive of something like 20 national parks. I live within 60 minutes of several National Recreation areas, State Parks, National Forests, and wilderness areas with all sorts of different designations. I'm within a 60 minute walk of at least 4 popular campsites.

It is not my experience that the USA lacks in this respect.

But if you want to visit the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, or Zions, or many of these other places, your last paragraph is spot on. The policy of the State of Nevada has been that you cannot reserve campsites in state parks. I think that just changed within the last year for the two most popular state parks. If you want to camp in the Valley of Fire among the red rocks or petrified forest you now need a reservation. If you want to camp just outside the boundaries, there is no reservation required and no fee. Oh, yeah, and no potable water or restrooms, etc.

Note: the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Zions are not Nevada State Parks. And you'll have to wait another year now to catch Gold Fever at Buckland Station State Park[0].

Edit: Amusingly, the headline of the page at that link proclaims "Nevada State Parks Launches New Reservation System". sigh
IP blocks allocations are assets but they are granted by the RIR. [1] Your allocation is given to you in exchange for being a member of the RIR. You don't actually own the IPs, but you do have exclusive rights to them but the RIR can ultimately decide to revoke your rights to them for violating RIR policies.

RIRs do allow you to transfer your IP blocks to other organizations but you can only do so if the receiving organization proves to the RIR they have a good reason to hold those blocks of IPs. This valuation is based on what a typical IPv4 owner receives in exchange for that transfer of IPv4 addresses.

Just like any assets which you hold a lot of, if AWS dumped their IP addresses on the transfer market, the price of IPv4s would likely fall significantly so I doubt they could actually get that price for all their IPv4s.

Merged, past tense. That was last year.

Unity is now (and maybe always was) a platform for mobile advertising and data collection wrapped with a game engine. Unity is offering to wave licensing fees for game developers that use LevelPlay, the advertising platform that comes with Unity, instead of their rival, AppLovin, who, incidentally, tried to buy them about the same time as the merger with IronSource. https://www.gamerbraves.com/unity-silently-offers-developers...
"by far the best... that I've ever encountered" is a terrible argument in support of a monopoly. It's legally impossible to have something better, so of course it's the best we know of.

'Exactly how much Booz Allen reaps from Recreation.gov is not publicly known, nor is how much it costs to operate Recreation.gov on an annual basis. The lawsuit contends that Recreation.gov handled 9 million transactions in 2021 and generates “tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars of revenue every year for Booz Allen, constituting a complete windfall.”' [1]

I'd be surprised if that revenue were below 100 million. A team of a couple dozen competent developers could certainly operate it for a fraction of that.

Seems pretty clear to me: "vim/emacs user groups" describes a superset that includes the vicious fighting groups and the kumbaya groups, plus of course those that make emacs distros that are (shudder) more like vim, and perhaps even discussion of the other way around?

Also groups that trade baking recipes in org-mode format plus vim macros so they can share the fun.
Thanks for the reply. One way to guard against that would be if the LLM architecture refused to serve against just

There's always some way to group things together, but I find it unhelpful in this case.

Even grouping all firearm deaths together is almost always unhelpful. Ordinary violent crime with firearms is very different from a school shooting is very different from suicide by firearm.

Then grouping firearm deaths together with a highly addictive and slow-killing vice like cigarettes just adds to the confusion.
We don’t know how many busses needed replacing anyway. And perhaps they’ll sell the gas busses with life still in them to other local districts to help offset costs.

Either way there are a ton of non-financial benefits here, this is great to see.

Sure, Apple’s will be more private but the “third party” proxy will probably be cloudflare and fastly still so a lot of benefit to end user of not having as much of their traffic vacuumed up by unsavory public networks or cell carriers.

HTTPS will keep specifics about your browsing private but MAC address, list of IPs connected to, and request sizes probably reveals a lot more than people would expect.
Interesting. AI code has no loops so the problem they mention in the beginning about unrolling loops to a certain depth is a non-issue.
Yeah this is because you have more time when the oil and garlic is heated together (before the garlic burns).

You want to do this when garlic is the main flavor you are aiming for and avoid doing it when garlic wants to complement the other herbs and spices.
Might be. Schools have a lot of roof space and busses are generally used only twice a day at low speeds with multiple-minute stops for a total of 60-90 minutes per interval.

What worked was the decline of home PC users in favor of smartphones; Microsoft was never able to do well in this space despite buying Nokia's phone business (let alone dominating it as they still do on the desktop). Modern Microsoft has entirely switched to being cloud focused from just an OS vendor - their big money spinner these days is Azure, followed by Office 365 and then only Windows. It's also why Windows 10 and 11 are so user hostile compared to earlier versions; Microsoft doesn't have to care about a good user experience and will inevitably push the OS itself to a subscription model.
After about 500k/million miles they end up in west Africa.
If you are willing to wait, you pay nothing. However, let's keep in mind that this evaluation is based on the private transfer market place for IPv4s not based on actual RIR costs.

You must be an RIR member to hold IPs and there are membership dues that you must pay each year to maintain your allocation. Once you are a member of an RIR you just have to make a request and at least with ARIN that request and fulfillment is free.
Including color management. Please.
Why do they have to travel to earth ? A robotic probe can travel X thousand years with no need for new physics. Also there are life forms on earth that basically live forever. Also pretending that a theory that we invented a 100 years ago that is not even fully consistent is some hard limitation on some advanced civ is pretty crazy. Is it more believable that some entity on earth has discovered new physics and kept it secret vs some advanced extraterrestrial civ is more developed than we are ?
> I'm not a gamer, but that's apparently a whole category that is Windows-only.

Not anymore, really. Proton has done an amazing job at making the huge library of Windows games out there work on Linux, so at this point it's a pretty good contender. (Hence the popularity of the Steam Deck.)
Yes, it's worth making special travel plans _just_ to go to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, even if one is not a motorcycle fan.

I have been using Fedora Sericea since it came out (it's basically Fedora Silverblue, but uses Sway-wm instead of Gnome-wm). The system is actually pretty usable, and you don't really need to reboot after each rpm-ostree install command (`rpm-ostree live-apply` takes care of it via systemd-based overlay).
What is being sovereign over a territory when an enemy drone swarm can just bomb your people on it anytime?

Oh, apologies if it sounded like I was trying to say RISC-V doesn't - I was only trying to explain why we use the term “instruction set architecture” as opposed to just “instruction set”.
I mean what’s in em? Motors have very long service lives and can be replaced. So can batteries. Both can be recycled. The batteries may be way smaller/lighter by then too. The rest seems quite repairable as well.

Is it worth it compared to getting new ones in 10-15 years (based on sibling comment)? I don’t know.

But maybe electric fleet vehicles will change the calculus n when you refurbish them vs just replace them. Time will tell.
You connect to proxy 1 and ask it to set up a tunnel to proxy 2 (the tunnel to proxy 2 rides inside the tunnel to proxy 1).

Proxy 1 knows your source IP, its own IP, and the destination IP (proxy 2). Proxy 2 knows the incoming source IP (proxy 1), its own IP, and the destination IP (the website you're accessing). Neither proxy knows both your IP and your destination IP.
Sounds like TDD and langchain?

>Who knows what airports and coffeeshops are doing with your traffic analytics anyways.

There's not much you can mine. Most traffic nowadays is encrypted so all you get is the domain. For most people this basically translates to what apps you use (eg. facebook or reddit) and possibly what company you work for (eg. if you connect to your company's mail server).
Dimensions behave somewhat like a "type system" for math. These dimensional-analysis tricks act like the trick you see in Haskell sometimes, where you can easily guess an implementation of an expression once you know it's type (or e.g. search by type signature https://hoogle.haskell.org/ )
I agree that it's exhausting. A slight analogy away, I found that my brain has a lot more computing power after I changed my scratchy old yellowed glasses to new ones. The mental filtering isn't free.
The only proper solution is e.g. Electron add the support and Discord then updates the base version of Electron. I remember reading somebody was working on a bridge for X11 apps to get Wayland screenshare access but I don't know if that actually became functional/usable. Wayland itself has had all of the bits for years at this point but it just doesn't have official bits for apps still running X11 style screensharing only.

It's like GIMP still using GTK 2, it has no idea of Wayland at all so there's not much Wayland can do beyond run it an an XWayland island. Unfortunately there is no easy universal fix to that kind of gap beyond updating apps.

Edit: a sibling comment linked to the project I was remembering - xwaylandbridge

I'm curious if one were to be certain nation state and was happy being a completely isolated intranet, that they would just exit such arin or related associations and just create their own governing body of IP allocations? In such a case such an internet would be a completely separate internet right?

I wonder if sanctions may ever apply to the internet itself and we may see a break up of the internet into regional internet's.

And if we want to ensure global connectivity these associations would need to be completely independent and voluntary standard and such fees would be paid to an international standards body not beholden to any particular nation's whims?

What if nations started adding intercontinental NAT gateways acting as the entry and exit points between their national boundaries and the rest of the world.

It's been a few years since I've worked with the cinnamon team, but their 2019 sentiment was basically "ignore Wayland and hope it dies".
This is so recognizable!

I also got a strong interest in programming 1998/1999-ish and also had only a Mac at home. I emailed the guy who authored a chess application (his email was in the splash screen) over our dial up connection. He told me I would need to learn C or C++ and I had no idea how to act on that (I was 8 or 9 at the time, living in a very rural area).

4 or 5 years later I got my own laptop and installed Linux on it. Then I started learning bash and tried (and failed) to install Linux From Scratch. That did get me to a point where I could program.
Maybe some people want to hide their web traffic from their ISP, but can't be bothered with setting up a real VPN. It seems pretty niche, though.

I'd recommend against the basement. Personally I think natural light helps a lot in mood. There's a stereotype about unproductive basement dwellers and I think the atmosphere might actually encourage procrastination.

The GP is taking a restricted meaning of "ambiguity", where the ambiguity is within the laws relevant to the case being appealed.

But cases that go to the Supreme Court of the United States are often cases where the "ambiguity" is on how the US constitution should be interpreted and applied.

In a practical sense you're not going to be able to codify the US constitution into code. It's even a well received "feature" that constitutions are sometimes a bit ambiguous, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Constitution
I imagine most people talking about old VAX machines don't care about SEO. And I doubt there were ever any relevant top hits for "Can I see a VAX in a museum?" on reddit since day one.

But none of that matters, because if you wanted to ask or search for that, you would do it in one of the relevant subreddits. And if I search for "vax computer" on Google I get plenty of good results on the first page.

You're making this into more of an issue than it is.
Well done, Bloomberg authors.
>>You are just at the early phase of the project.

Nah.

99% of the code written out there doesn't need layers of indirection, responsibility tossing around, Code splitting across classes, design patterns, inheritance and the class jungle that is common in Java.

Rise of languages like Go is simply majority of the people realising when they want X, they are better of writing just X. You don't have to write a generic version of X that needs to work in a dozen situations. This is for a simple reason. Most of the times, there are no dozen situations. Most, not all the times.

Most of the code I write, doesn't change all that much. If you are writing code that needs to run for decades in an industry where grifting and job hunting is a daily affair you are doing it wrong.
Neither of those imply a right to not be annoyed. They imply a right to walk away from the annoyance. They would, similarly, have the “right” (in whatever weird sense the word is being used, here) to craft a plan that would make that difficult. And so on.

“Rights” are a bizarre/incoherent way to look at this.
Probably. I can see the only automated car rule being for freeways only or large urban areas only and it would still make a significant difference. Or maybe the automated vehicles get their own two lanes on the freeway. Many ways to go about this while still being effective.
I heard that The Last Of Us on PS3 really pushed the hardware to its limits, and seeing that game's visuals, I believe it. I think Naughty Dog put an enormous amount of time and effort into building and optimizing a game engine that could make thorough use of PS3's cell architecture, being very smart about the timing and order of various tasks to ensure maximum parallel processing during a generation where everything else was still running on one or two cores.
Can you be more specific? I'm a 10-year MacOS user who now uses desktop Linux ~80% of the time and I can't think of any glaring issues.
Classic straw man.

Nowhere did I say “my” view of being constructive.

Very few people have no sense of when they themselves are being (or have been) more constructive or less.

It’s easy to say nothing can be done. Perfect agreement on good manners is unattainable.

But even a little improvement, goes a long ways.
I read your comment and still don't get what prevents proxy 1 and proxy 2 from sharing this information with each other.
Yes - for me, it was a strength issue. I spent a couple weeks running hills to even things out and it faded relatively quickly.
I'm in the same boat (in terms of both field and experience) and I find the original post bordering on absolutely nonsensical gibberish. It's like a technical version of an astrology column.
