I use a combo of desktop computers with giant screens and an iPad. I like this better than having a laptop. I don’t think the traditional multi-window paradigm works well on a very small screen (though I am aware it was invented for tiny screens!). When I’m mobile I prefer to have just one app at a time, or at most Stage Manager.

The biggest problems I run into with iPadOS are not related to the OS, but stripped-down apps, or apps that don’t use the file picker and other iPad features. In a few cases I have to use web apps (which work perfectly) instead of iPad apps, for example with Google Docs, since the iPad apps are more like stripped-down phone apps.
You have misread the GP. Their "exception" is the exact opposite: if the copyright is sold, its total duration cannot exceed 28 years, while if it is retained by the original (human) creator, it can extend to 42 years.
Isn’t the latter one how git works? I think one difficulty with the former from git’s POV is that it’s difficult to divine the difference between moves and add/delete without the end user explicitly specifying that they’ve “moved” a file. One easy to grok example is moving a file to one location and creating a copy of that file in another location in that same diff. Perhaps in this approach that same limitation does not exist
> Of course, some people just want free shit.

People deserve free shit. If it costs ~$0.00 to copy something, the morally just thing to do is to give everyone who wants it a copy. If we could generate infinite socks for free, it would be outrageous to tolerate anyone living with cold, blistery feet.

The only reason copyright exists is to incentivize the creation of new shit. If we need to fund sock R&D, maybe we need a revenue stream for that.
I just purchased a 48" monitor as my primary monitor. No need to worry about rotation, I just have a massive screen in front of me.

I think that for some people people are scared of large monitors in front of them, but once you use one, you realize that using small monitors (e.g. 27 or 32") in single or dual or triple arrangements is just ridiculous complex. One big monitor is way way better.

Large monitors are the future, it is just that people are not yet comfortable buying them for some reason.
Didn't they cancel Counterpart? I watched the first season but never watched the second one when I learnt that it was canceled.

> there is no law in the universe that says we can't have a much, much more sustainable and environmentally friendly economy and have consumption too.

Unfortunately there is. See [1] and [2] for an introduction to the topic and [3] for the concept of ecological overshoot. It’s simply not possible to have infinite growth in a finite world.

Humanity have first exceeded the annual carrying capacity of Earth in 1971, first year when Earth Overshoot Day happened.

Such dysfunctions of the Mega-Central-Omniscient-Organization are common to all political regimes, as shown by the Fukushima nuclear disaster: Japan isn't exactly a communist nation, and the Oganawa nuclear plant, closer to the tsunami, did not trigger a disaster thanks to a sole guy acting against the whole local Mega-Central-Omniscient-Organization.

Yeah; especially given the number of pixels we have at our disposal. Old UI screenshots look simple but they had to work at tiny resolutions compared to modern user interfaces. I remember when 800x600 was considered luxurious.

Web apps also can't use a lot of native shortcut keys to build keyboard-friendly UIs. Its rude to override the browser's right click menu. Alt-anything might bring up browser native controls. Ctrl/Cmd+S is owned by the browser. And so on. Some of this stuff you can override, but even if you do, users never experiment because those shortcut keys basically never do what you expect.
> This isn't a relevant example because server space on SaaSes are scarce, so it makes sense to use capitalism to deal with this

I'm not convinced. For a typical semi-successful SaaS hosting costs will be small compared to dev salaries that went into creating it. Also you pay licensing fees for self-hosted products too.

Also it's not like there's a moral duty for price to only reflect the marginal cost. Reportedly SpaceX launches are now quite cheap, but are priced relative to the competition. Nothing wrong with it IMHO. Ditto for charging whatever for creative work.

> The hostility comes from the fact that the writer is trying to control and restrict what other people do with their work. It is very anti-social.

Again, software licensing is the same. Renting a home, or a car, is the same.

Also let's not get too carried away. If I buy a book, I can resell that book freely. It's just that I can't write my own sequel to it, or turn it into a film without the author's permission. This strikes me as a very good thing.
The Tonkin Incident. Well, Wikipedia has a decent enough write up of the whole Vietnam War, including the French one, including Tonkin.

The problem is less that those crucial facts are not know, but rather that they get ignored in public discourse.
People were creating art for thousands of years before copyright became perpetual. People were creating art for thousands of years before their art became feasibly monetizable. Hell, people were creating art for thousands of years before the concept of money even existed. I harbor precisely zero concern that shortening copyright to a "mere" 28 years will suddenly cause all human capacity for art to evaporate.
But it does! Even with the weird packages I have installed (ROCm) and a ton of accept_keywords unmasks, all I have to do is overnight updated twice a month. I haven't touched /etc/portage in months.

And no matter if its true (and it might well be!) the overarching tendency to look for reasons to explain time spent with Gentoo should probably tell us something.

At best, we are at least a bit confused about it all.
Might be an issue of software support, it just "feels" easier to have two monitors instead of using one monitor as two.

Sensibilities and context change. Even my FIL hates movies from his generation because he sees them as poorly acted, regardless of any other aspects. He prefers more modern work.
When every ounce of power mattered, fine-tuning your OS made sense.

Nowadays most people are swimming in CPU cores and gigabytes of ram and terabytes of solid-state memory, so fine-tuning is a waste of time (unless you play bleeding-edge games). But it wasn't always such.
I thought Tom's replies were much more convincing than Derek's.
Our organization is evaluating Codeium, and based on our feedbacks, they keep improving the product that we use.

First of all: I, although normally interested in the general landscape of technologies and devx / productivity, IDGAF about the current AI hype, try to keep away from it, and generally speaking cannot care less at this stage.

That said, Codeium for me (and many other colleagues) became like a kitchen utility: you turn it on, and it just works, speeds things up, and I don't have to understand all the physics / engineering behind it.

By default it works with vim and vscode, I installed it and then forgot about it. Completes 1-5 lines worth of shellscript if/else branches, whole methods, etc. Also, xml, c++, python is not a problem. It's sometimes so accurate, I actually have to check if completion is coming from the LSP or Codeium.

I contribute to 5-10 projects with different languages, and don't have the capacity to understand all of them. As an example, sometimes I have to git mergetool quite big patches with many conflicts. Codeium perfectly fixes pytest unit tests for me during the merge, and I don't even understand necessarily, what was broken after the merge/rebase.

It offloads a lot of mental load and context switching, TBH. I understand that my use case is "fix /change a handful of most probably repetitive lines in a dynamically typed script", and won't expect it to write elaborate methods like fizzbuzz etc. It really feels like it's more of an ASSISTANT that helps me or sometimes pair programs with me
I see, thanks for the clarification.

A fixed 28-year duration would be shorter and simpler.
"PyTorch uses the best backend it has available. If that's CUDA, it will use CUDA. It will also use ROCm on AMD GPUs and optimised BLAS libraries on CPUs. These backeds are selected at compile time though, so you need to install a version of PyTorch with optimised support for your hardware. "
"the hack requires physical access to the circuit board, removing and reinstalling it without damage, and soldering skills. Therefore, such an attack would not be very practical outside the laboratory ".

If it upgrades features, there will be a market for "jailbreak my Tesla".
I was within inches of buying this this holiday season but was offput by people’s brightness complaints. Figured I could wait another iteration until either the brightness or the refresh rate gets better… the 5K2K seems like the move though.
I think this primarily comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of where the value in streaming services lies from the perspective of old world media giants. The majority of people who buy streaming, I suspect, are interested mainly in the conveyor belt of diverse and engaging content. Sure I whack an episode of Rick and Morty on via Netflix once a month, but 90% of viewing is of new serialized content.

Disney naively thought they could just serve up old classics while wringing the life out of Marvel and Star Wars IP and people would happily continue to pay. But the IP dilution and very real costs of beaming 4K video around the world on demand don’t mix well together.

Meanwhile Netflix has built some of the most sophisticated production tooling in the world, and leveraged cross-country content like no old-world provider ever has.

It’s a classic story of a tenant mistakenly believing the landlord has it easy - so they abandon their sublet and try to build a mall from scratch - the models are vastly different, and perhaps in this case, lethal.
Did it crash or actually segfault?

Segfaults shouldn't happen in Rust, but there is widespread use of `.unwrap`
Surprisingly, some compilers can automatically turn that to a loop too! Try it on clang and gcc :)
We'd be gloriously ecstatic if the copyright system was only as broken as the patent system. At least parents expire after 20 years.
Huh? This shouldn’t be possible in principle? Don’t quote me on that though, I wish I’d paid more attention to my notes but they’re a mess and haven’t kept up with newer changes, if they were accurate at all in the first place. I’d submit an escalation so support can look into it.
Notably, Crimea belonged to Russia since the defeat of the Crimean Khanate in 1783, when Russians ethnically cleansed half of the native Crimean population, and in 1944 Stalin deported the entire ethnically Crimean population that was left to Uzbekistan. The only reason there are Crimeans in Crimea today is that after the fall of USSR, Ukraine allowed them to return.

Also, Crimea voted 54% to stay with Ukraine in 1991 referendum.
I think this is unfair - Arch is also meme'd by linux enthusiasts and 4chan.

Additionally, Gentoo is the largest distro with the source-based package manager USP. I suppose you could take issue with that approach for reasons like the systemd maintainer does where he claims it wastes CPU-cycles and time. Personally I disagree with that assessment since reproducible builds are a vital part of FOSS.
It really depends what the watcher desires... A lot of audiences will say "ewwe, I couldn't possibly let my children watch that, there are homophobic slurs in it".

Or parts are simply outdated and won't be understood by viewers - like a key element of a plot being that someone erased an answerphone tape - perhaps in todays world you'd replace that with messages showing one tick only...
It’s rumored that the OLED panel used in the new iPad revision won’t be a bog standard OLED, but instead a variant that emphasizes longevity and burn-in resistance by stacking two OLED layers atop each other (on top of the usual binning Apple does). That makes the price hike sound more plausible.
Ask HN: Programming Courses for Experienced Coders?
Lately I've been learning Elixir. Many of the popular resources seem beginner-focused, which feels a bit tedious when you've been coding for over a decade. Are there any popular programming books or courses for more experienced coders?
Interesting example of a “the more you read the less you understand” website!
it's not to save 50-200mb but to correctly use libc to avoid any unexpected situations with glibc down the line, e.g. when a change needed to be done for security reasons or running it on a more hardened system might lead to similar slow downs as with musel
> Its true, that I did not refer to deliverability. But I can do this now :) Mailinabox has a dahboard that shows you if you are on any spam list. It will also just stop with the setup, if it detects, that the IP of your machine is blacklisted.

I have never been on a spam list. My IPs have never been on a blacklist. And yet, my mail was often delivered to spam folder (as opposed to inbox) on Outlook and Gmail.

> The cases where my email got blocked, I always received an email back from the box, so I think there are no cases where my email just disappeared into the dark.

In the vast majority of the cases where your email is not delivered to the inbox of the recipient, you will not get any notification. In these cases your mail will usually be silently placed into the spam folder, and sometimes it will be blackholed completely (not even landing in the spam folder).
> Look at the price of a powerwall. That's for the energy needs of a residential home. What happens to your AWS bill if us-east-1 was to buy a powerwall? Let alone steel, chemical, paper, mineral processing industries. What would happen to our economy if capacity for every one of those was cut by 1/3rd (or more depending on local climate)? Never mind your power bill.

Using powerwall as the price of stationary battery storage is like using the running cost of gas/petrol household generators as the cost of generating power at fossil fueled power plants. Powerwalls is not how industrial battery storage is done anywhere on the planet.
That demo is partially faked - if you look at the "plan B" button, it doesn't actually make the UI show some newly changed data, it simply hides the entire window, and shows a different pre-made static window.

Even the "plan A" button code doesn't show the only interesting part of the code - how the UI is actually updated in response to the changed underlying data.

Sounds like clearplay and vidangel have a new target consumer base and media pool.
The rock removal isn’t the issue per se, it is a question of why so much is being removed. Doing it in Plain sight would cause nosy neighbours to ask questions and likely making some calls to the city.

Also, she’s using the good rock to build a new exterior wall in front of her current walls, with a goal of turning it into a castle-like facade. Again, no permits.
Surely the free-market fundamentalist position would be to let it crash :)
Installing Gentoo was always fun for me, to get it working and the dream of a fully custom optimized machine (I guess Arch offers similar experience, minus the full optimization), but getting everything polished afterwards was always just too much for me and I switched to a packaged distro.

It seems like it would be cool for an SBC, but the compilation (or setting up cross-compilation) was always too much; now maybe it’s feasible again? But I’m too old to have the time to try!
I think we only got new Trek due to Paramount trying to sell Paramount Plus.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is terrific and has the spirit of the original series.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is also amazing in a very different way. It's like the writers made an adult cartoon show for all the super fans that references every meme, while still being very endearing and true to trek.

Star Trek: Picard, is also supposedly really good, but I have only seen one episode so far.
I find up to about 100 characters to be manageable from a readability perspective, but yes, not much more.

Most distros are still not providing x86-64-v3/4 level builds yet, so gentoo is still relevant :P
"the distro only works with the amd64 platform and AMD Radeon graphics cards" guess I can't then.

I was never a gentoo user (I installed once, like I did for basically any distro back then), but I wouldn't knock the sort of "apparently-unproductive tinkering" that Gentoo epitomizes. Like building the umpteenth blog engine, or yet another Todo manager in $language_du_jour, that's how we learn.
The functionality in portage was there since forever the standard packages (think of it like a standard ubuntu install) were there for forever. They only branched out and offer more binary packages. Which is absolutely great but not a new feature... The headline is still misleading.
Very interesting, thanks! I’d better add this to my list of things to look into…
S&P is up 25% this year.
The dependencies. It does work on Linux and Mac. On Windows, you can use the WSL.
I've always wondered why Apple didn't kept on developing A/UX as their replacement for classic Mac OS but instead chose to focus on either Frankenstein-like experiments, such as Copland or purchasing technology stack from 3rd party companies.
Agree that my biggest gripe with iPadOS is third party apps that don’t take advantage of the platform. Cross-platform apps are the most notorious, usually being stretched out phone apps rather than proper tablet apps.

It’s still a far sight better than the Android tablet situation though, where stretched out phone apps are the norm instead of the exception.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident

One real attack August 2, one confused incident where actually no attack happened.

It's kind of true but really it's hardly a false flag operation

(paraphrasing and being kind to US administration - US Navy breached territorial waters, exchanged fire on Aug 2, then on Aug 4 they fired upon radar returns and possible signals traffic. The second time there was no actual North Vietnamese and the Navy expressed doubts but US administration wanted to escalate and both incidents became conflated. It's not the same as for example pre-planned false flag operations. Is there a fine line? Yes. exactly where that is is hard to say.
> 1) Three dimensions, not two. Therefore distance is not the square root of (...) but the cube root of (...).

No, it is still a square root. The term under the root is correct, but distance in N dimensions (assuming euclidian space) is just sqrt(sum(delta-n ^ 2))
Most of these companies should never have entered the streaming business to begin with. Approximately nobody wants to be in a position of needing to subscribe to 17 different services to see a broad swathe of general purpose content. OK, sure, if you have something really niche then maybe it makes sense to run as a separate service. But for most players, I can't help but think they be better off licensing their content to Netflix or Prime and not trying to be a separate platform.

PS CTOs aren’t always chosen, many are self-appointed as founders or co-founders (possibly in this case too).

Chosen implies you’ve been subject to external assessment, self-appointed is a different matter altogether (ie. you may be extremely aware of possible knowledge/experience gaps that you need to quickly fill).

To add my own suggestion, I think High Output Management by Andy Grove is an excellent resource (not just for CTOs)
Worth noting that it's mandatory to interact with a private bank in order to participate in the modern society.

As unfortunate as it is, banks have become a dependency for modern day living.

We have needed solar for decades.

And thus solar has been coming for decades. How long after we have an abundance of solar can we wait for good storage?

How many decades can we wait for that to ramp up? (we didn't exactly start our solar journey yesterday).

I feel storage is of immediate urgency, as of yesterday. We don't have a plan and scaling will be a huge challenge.

Using EVs is really tempting though.
Health insurance != Healthcare.

Now a bunch of people are paying hundreds a month for a ten thousand dollar deductible. Those people already pay for socialized medicine (the US spends the most on socialized medicine per captia), so I don't see that as a win as much as a gift to the insurance companies.
If the makers of a software program make a big deal about the implementation language (in Lapce’s case, they mention it in the first paragraph), then I take that as a statement that they’ve taken advantage about that language’s unique features to deliver better software.

In Rust’s case, I take it as a promise not to do anything memory-unsafe. Lapce did not keep this promise when I tried it.

> Disney naively thought they could just serve up old classics while wringing the life out of Marvel and Star Wars IP and people would happily continue to pay.

Wringing the life is a pretty mean way to put it. They tried to use the IP to make money. Their movies and shows sound like propaganda with Twitter quips and they aren't good. Marvel and star wars peaked under Disney the same way that Apple peaked from Tim Cook in terms of profit, only apple products are still good.
