I have not personally tried linux on it. This laptop has device specific drivers that may be difficult to get working correctly under linux.

The screen is likely sourced from a tablet, so it's default orientation is portrait. This means that the UEFI displays in that orientation, rather than the correct landscape orientation. The included windows drivers correct that.

There is also a sensor that rotates the screen automatically when you fold it into tablet mode. In device manager it is labeled "Bosch Accelerometer".

Wifi is labeled as a "Realtek 8852BE". But the chip looks pretty generic on the mainboard, I'm not sure if it's a real Realtek chip.

The sound card is generically labeled as "High Definition Audio Device".

The keyboard is actually pretty decent. It's only 7.5" wide, and some of the keys are in a strange position. But has a better feel than a MacBook butterfly keyboard.

Battery life I haven't tested. Right now at 77% Windows is estimating "3 hours remaining". Using it lightly I'd estimate around 4 hours of battery life.

They were using dial up ISDN lines to send the data back, but Riposte didn't support that, or scale to 20k terminals, so that was all new code

That is exactly what we are targeting! We know it's hard hence looking for users for whom we can tune the controls better for someone's specific environment - we will be able to do this as we have years of experience. This is kind of a side project/service we are going for and not our main business, so we are not looking to sell anything, but we are looking to understand the problem and space better.

Complete support is provided through Slack to (or however you wish), so you know you don't have to wait for any kind of support.

We know there are plenty of scanners out there. Hence we are using an open-source one and working on how we can improve the 'what happens after' part by using human-led expertise to save others their time

- Is the vulnerability valid based on the environment it was found in? Solve this and you’ll reduce enterprise vulnerabilities by probably 30-40%.
--> Having a human expert confirm and filter the list is what we are offering to our closed beta users for now so yes that is what we are targeting to solve!

- What are the compensating controls? Identify these automagically and reduce the vuln risk scores based on what controls are found, you will remove another 30% of vuln work for engineering teams
--> We have a list of controls we've identified, but we know each environment is different, hence looking for users we can tune our controls to

We are particularly looking for users who are in small organizations looking to grow rapidly. Ultimately, we are looking to save other devs time by taking over the cumbersome work.
I don't know if I can narrow it down to one moment that was a game changer above all others.

Using an interactive debugger is definitely one of them, as is building and using reproducible local dev environments.
Are you using synthetic sugar? I heard those cause cancer in lizards.

It's a bit hard to take your objection very seriously when the following spits out the same SQLite as in PostgreSQL:

CREATE TABLE tbl (x integer, y real);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES ('001', ' 2.5 ');
SELECT * FROM tbl;

1|2.5

Numeric affinity was "invented" in SQLite to make it more compatible with PostgreSQL (et al.).
Yeah, I guess I pressed tab right away and thought it was the design of the button.

I think it's better to keep the focus style as the default outline, and uniform.

Not arguing that 2FA isn't more secure. But don't promise a smoother driving experience by removing speed bumps and replacing them with stop signs.
I don't think it's a good idea, for many reasons which are better-defined elsewhere in this discussion.

That said, if you do decide to do this, it would IMO be foolish not to contact your congressional delegation (probably state legislators too) and try to get something. On-shoring manufacturing is politically very en vogue in DC right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could get some kind of grant, tax credits, liability waiver, guaranteed government orders, or something else to "entice" you to do this in your state (maybe even shop around among states/municipalities and see if you can get them to outbid each other).

This isn't exactly pro-social behavior, but it will probably work, where "work" means you will be able to extract something, not that you will be able to turn your toaster business into a going concern.
So it is a legitimate concern after all?
I feel the same way, when all hope is lost and I have to join a Discord channel for help. Finding the solution via the search there feels like modern day gold panning.
They have similar names but solve completely different problems. JSONB is just a binary representation of JSON, with the same limited set of data types. It doesn't provide "decimal, date, and binary types", which OP identified as part of the draw to BSON.
Programmer Job Interviews: The Hidden Agenda
I've never been a hiring manager but I've interviewed maybe a couple dozen engineers over the years, of all experience levels. I've never once considered an employment gap in and of itself a deal breaker. Sometimes I've never even asked about it. And the times it did come up, there was never a concerning explanation.

But many people are not like me and they think any stumble in the rat race is an insurmountable red flag.
Thanks! I hope so too, I feel like it’s really close to being perfect for me.

One of the things that you can do with D and as far as I know Julia is enable specific optimizations locally e.g. allow FMAs here and there, not globally.

You can self host SSO. You maybe do already. Nextcloud, Gitea and Mattermost offer these services. We tried to use Mattermost but it didn't work. We went with Gitea. I only discovered later than Nextcloud also did.

When I use my AMEX card online it sometimes does an extra "validation" step but as I recall I don't have to interact with it. It's probably checking location, etc, and deciding if further validation is necessary.

Have never seen that with VISA or MC.

>ideas have near zero value, execution is the only thing that matters.

This is laughable, and straight from the VC/Big Tech Co playbook. You know, the kind of places who can more easily spend huge money executing on someone else's good idea.

Of course execution is important. I'd even accept more important than an idea. But ideas are not "near zero value". There's nothing to execute on without them, and unlike "executing", there's no system to repeat it.
The State of Rust ORMs
I agree with you on that - there are very real, very well-evidenced, species-level harms (x-risks, if you really must) happening right now: pesticide-induced biodiversity loss, soil erosion/loss, ocean acidification, ice shelf melting, and on and on. These are real and quantifiable, and we know of ways to address them (not without cost/pain).

It actually makes me quite angry that as much effort is being wasted on regulating tiny theoretical risks as it is when we are failing on a planetary scale on large concrete risks.
You're mistaking something else for the rounding mode and subnormal handling flags.
Any architecture that could compete with LLMs is
going to reshape the ML landscape that is now

Its likely there is something more fundamental that

I don't think people realize how much influence

would yield massive speed-ups).

I kind of wonder what it is that giving false impression to NA English speakers, that machine translations is something that works or something less worse than humans, when it isn't quite.

By wonder, I don't necessarily mean it as in euphemism for "it is infuriating to me that X is Y" wonder: I've seen translation horror stories that, there allegedly are weird dogmatically motivated English translators that constantly abuse their power to just use foreign content as vehicles for their agendas, while original authors being unable to proofread themselves or chalking up noted oddities to their own skill issues until all is too late.

That kind of weird translation is not a typical experience for me relying translations to my primary language, and I suspect nor it is to most various non-English language speakers, but especially the recent wide and big push on MT as well as high praises on GPT translations seems to roughly in line with that abusive translator horror stories.

And here I wonder; is _that_ it, or am I overthinking it?

Yes, it's a great read. It validated my frustration with python packaging.
This leaves in place the bulk of the ruling favoring Apple, but also the elimination of the anti-steerage rules that Epic successfully challenged (sort of, the trial judge mostly did that on her own).

So, to summarize, the relevant market is this dispute was the mobile game market (not an iPhone-specific market like Epic wanted), Apple does not have a monopoly in that market, and Apple doesn’t need to charge less in the App Store or for in-app purchases. But, due to California law, Apple cannot prevent developers from informing consumers that lower prices are available outside of the app.
Try doing a Kickstarter. Over the years, I've spent way more money than I should have on Kickstarter projects that are highly specific and non-refundable. Both of these characteristics will likely be important to leverage as you are starting out this venture. Kickstarter targeted advertising through Facebook and Instagram seem to be very good at getting your product in front of people willing to buy it - even if it's an expensive American-made toaster.

> Fast is good, I guess, but what does this say about Python?

I don't buy this complaint (?) about Ruff. The broader point is that Python is _so good_ that people are willing to learn Rust to make the Python experience even better.

Will this lead to a carve out for California users, similar to the carve out they are making for app stores in the EU?
As someone born in 2004, these books made Ham Radio seem so fun and engaging to me, and definitely were a part of me getting my license. I hope that my bodged together projects would have made the gang proud. I would love to see a book series like this updated with modern technology, keeping the same jury-rigged aesthetic.
We shouldn't have to work installing & maintaining an awkward flow with random software to make buying experience less miserable. This should be fixed by the seller in the first place, where it makes sense and can be fixed easily and reliably.

You also have the problem where it is "too hot". Higher battery wear and all. Part of me feels the BEV revolution only considered half the northern hemisphere.
I think the article does miss that a raise for exactly one employee is fairly easy each year. Two, maybe three is normal. But I have nearly a hundred, so virtually everyone is falling behind eventually, even the ones that do get a raise one year in five.

A Wild Idea to Solve the Mysteries of Black Holes
I don’t think that’s right. You have no license to use it to host a commercial offering to third-parties, until the BSL rolls over to fully open source.

But the license explicitly allows free self-hosting for your own company / employees.
the software bugged and said they commited fraud, thats still half the problem and is a good time to repeat "stop putting software in things". we still need 40 more years before software "engineers" grow up and start doing things even anything near correctly. the other half of the problem is those people who just want tech for every problem. they just want shiny buttons, regardless of if they work. i dont know why but everything that these companies like fujitsu, hp, dell, acer, asus, sony, samsung, etc are all complete shit. i would vote to remove the government if they told me theyre going to start using some fujitsu product to decide who should go to jail. i just noticed a $6000 vent hood where if you adjust the fan speed you cant toggle the light within the next few seconds. even lay people understand that there is no reason for this aside from what could only be reasonably understood as absolute shit engineering.

the problem is people asking idiots who cant program even a simple button, to program serious enterprise, government, and military systems.
Thanks for putting this together! Amazon is far and away the priciest option here, but I wonder if a big part of that is the convenience tax for the Bedrock service. Would be interesting to compare that to the price of just renting AWS GPUs on EC2.
As my sibling commenter said, use Karabiner Elements if you are on macos. Though it's not an out-of-the-box thing.

Add this config to ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/custom-capslock.json

{
"title": "Change caps_lock to Esc and Control",
"rules": [
{
"description": "Post Esc if Caps is tapped, Control if held.",
"manipulators": [
{
"type": "basic",
"from": {
"key_code": "left_control",
"modifiers": {
"optional": [
"any"
]
}
},
"to": [
{
"key_code": "left_control",
"lazy": true
}
],
"to_if_alone": [
{
"key_code": "escape"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

and then in the GUI enable it in the Complex Modifications tab. Last you need to map "capslock" to "left_control" in the Simple Modifications tab.

Why would you do that? I wouldn't do that with node_modules either.

My experience is with gcc and clang on x86. I generally agree with you regarding accuracy, which is why I was quite surprised when I first discovered that -Ofast breaks isnan/isinf.

Even if I don't care about the accuracy differences, I still need a way to check for invalid input data. The upshot is that I had to roll my own isnan and isinf to be able to use -Ofast (because it's actually the underlying __builtin_xxx intrinsics that are broken), which still seems wrong to me.
Thank you, great points. I’d have to agree that disabling denorms globally is pretty bad, even if (or maybe especially if) caring about denorms is rare.

> Fast-math can cause hard range guarantees to fail. Maybe you’ve got code that you can prove that, even with rounding error, the result will still be >= 0.

Floats do this too, it’s pretty routine to bump into epsilon out-of-range issues without fast-math. Most people don’t prove things about their rounding error, and if they do, it’s easy for them to account for 3 ULPs of fast-math error compared to 1/2 ULP for the more accurate operations. Like, nobody who knows what they’re doing will call sqrt() on a number that is fresh out of a multiplier and might be anywhere near zero without testing for zero explicitly, right? I’m sure someone has done it, but I’ve never seen it, and it ranks high on the list of bad ideas even if you steer completely clear of fast-math, no?

I guess I just wanted to resist the unspecific parts of the FUD just a little bit. I like your list a lot because it’s specific. Fast-math does carry some additional risks for accuracy sensitive code, and clearly as you and others showed, can infect and impact your whole app, and it can sometimes lead to situations where things break that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. But I think in the grand scheme these situations are quite rare compared to how often people mess up regular floating point math. For a very wide swath of people doing casual arithmetic, fast-math is not likely to cause more problems than floats cause, but it’s fair to want to be careful and pay attention.

Side-loading apps is not the mecca you think it is. It's going to create even more walled gardens, except this time, companies like meta don't have a fear of being yanked from the app store when they engage in practices that are harmful to user privacy.

Everywhere has heat waves. British Columbia was thought to be the safest place on the planet from climate change but the heat waves a few years ago, and it's steadily declining snow pack put that idea very much in question. If we carry on business as usual, millions of people will be looking for the safest port in the storm, and the great lakes region is one of 3 regions in the US that I think will have a large influx of climate migrants, especially by 2100.
My understanding is “no” (Apple is enjoined against enforcing the rules on anyone), but if we wait a few days we’ll know for sure.

Apple’s cert petition at the Supreme Court was basically the argument that’s it’s unfair that a lawsuit from one developer would prevent its anti-steerage language from adhering to any developer.

If demand drops for your chosen neighborhood, it probably has nothing to do with people hoping for lower rents. It usually means people don't want to live in a place because it's less attractive. And that means it's not as nice. Be careful what you wish for.

Show HN: Visualizing accessibility in Singapore using isochrone maps
An isochrone map depicts the area accessible from a point within a certain time threshold. It helps people understand how accessible a given location is.

Using public transit data and API provided by OpenTripPlanner, I built an application that generates the isochrone maps of any given location in Singapore. It also displays point of interests, like supermarkets, parks and public transit stations to help users understand the amenities around their location of interest.

Another reason hydrogen is good for cooling is its low viscosity.

The low viscosity is the reason the energy needed to transport hydrogen by pipeline is only slightly higher than natural gas, even though the combustion energy per molecule is considerably lower.
And yet, this is a theme repeated for literally years at this point with Rust.

I'm sorry, but I'm tired of this. It's like being at the skate park watching someone scream at someone else's kid. "oh my god, no you can't do that, that's not the right way to do that! you're going to hurt yourself! oh wait, you pulled off the trick and everyone is cheering! YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!!111".

Every single Rust thread is like this. There's at least three in this whole thread already. It's exhausting and weird. And this whole implication of a global conspiracy to push Rust everywhere rather than gee god, maybe people just like it and are effective with it.
