There are 9900 possibilities for the state of the urn after the first ball is picked:

1. n = 1, you can pick any of 99 green balls
2. n = 2, you can pick any of 98 green balls and a red ball
3. ...
100. n = 100, you can pick any of 99 remaining red balls

If you count the situations in which you will pick a red ball next, you'll see that there are more than the ones where the next ball is green.

Intuitively, given that you picked a red ball, you should expect there to be more red balls in the urn. And the effect of having more red balls than green ones outweighs the effect from removing just one ball.

As I've heard before, founding a company is like marriage without the sex. You really are legally bound together, as well as emotionally and socially (to a lesser extent).

As you'd expect, founder divorces can get messy.

I think it is best for founders to discuss it before they start the company. Hash out the exit plan, have those hard conversations, write it all down and agree to it. Sign it, then put it away, start building the companu, and hope you never have to use it.

But if you do; if people's situations or desires change, then you've got the path forward for an exit. You don't have to make one up on the fly after the company is worth something and emotions are high.

I don't think it's a PWA if she was using Firefox, because Firefox removed the little PWA functionality their desktop browser offered a while ago (this is one of the reasons I still have Chromium installed).

I imagine during the process, WhatsApp opened an ms-store: link that launched the Microsoft Store, and not knowing better, they clicked "install" when prompted.

The desktop app has some features that the web browser version lacks, like video calling support, so I would argue the desktop app is probably what you would want to use as a WhatsApp user, but it's rather annoying that web apps are pushing so hard for people to install desktop applications when their web apps could have the same features if they bothered implementing them in a non-Electron environment.
My meds definitely feel stronger one week into keto. Paired with the increased energy and better sleep, it feels like being on a constant caffeine high. Perhaps that's what normal people feel when they take stimulants.
Not the best way to look at it. A lot of developers today work primarily on github because it's not possible to interact/work in other projects from their siloed forges. When gitlab implements AP, things are no longer siloed and therefore there will be a percentage of (current) Github users who will free to choose their forge independently of network effects.

It's better to ask "how many projects are stuck to Github exclusively because of collaboration tools, and how many of these would be able to leave Github once more Gitlab/Gitea/Forgejo are able to interoperate? How much of its customer base can Github afford to lose before being forced to give up their monopolistic strategy?"
Yeah I actually switched to Edge pretty early on as a way of trying to disentangle some of my online identity away from Google because I wasn't (and still am not) happy with how much power they had over it.

Not that I trust Microsoft any more than Google, but I figured they were less inclined to violate my privacy in the name of advertisers and other third parties since that wasn't their main business.

Only lasted on Edge about 6 months before I abandoned it as it quickly ended up just as intrusive as Chrome, if not more so, while also being a far worse user experience.

China is kicking our ass in the technologies of the future (batteries, EV, renewable energy, nuclear.) If you believe China is a threat, then you should absolutely be reading articles like this one. Historically the US won wars by leading in the manufacture of this tech, and we should be fully aware of the consequences of losing that edge. It’s still not too late for us to do something about it.
I did this for a while. I ran into something that was unfixable. It was quite a few years ago and my memory is hazy. But it was games related and I couldn't run something due to missinf DLLs and not being able to install a fix (or just paste in the required DLLs). I eventually gave up. I tried for days to find a work around. Shame, because it is a much better experience.

As a developer who worked at small to medium sized companies, mainly developing microservices running on Kubernetes, I don't see a big advantage using FaaS as a customer. Maybe I am missing something? I am sure the provider gets more utilization for the hardware, but for the customer what's the point?
The extreme all meat diet have only started gaining wide mainstream traction (as far as I can tell) only over the last 6-8 years (and for some reason seems to overlap strongly with certain segment of crypto and MAGA population).

So it will be interesting to track progress in the population who committed to it in the next few years since I think it takes a decade or so for a diet to start exhibiting long-term health effects in a significant sample.

Anecdotally from my small group of 10 friends that I know who committed to it, 3 quit it after a few months because they couldn't give up carbs, 4 still swear by it after a few years, and 3 said that it was causing them health problems around the year mark so they gave it up.

FTA: “Apple always did things a bit differently, so while the IBM PC derived machines had more-or-less standardised on the PS/2 based connectors, Macs had their own serial bus system for keyboards and mice“

That’s a bit unfair towards Apple. ADB is from 1986 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Desktop_Bus), PS/2 from 1987 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS/2_port), so they couldn’t have used PS/2.

>tooling

I don't see why we should still use email when half of that requires "non-email" tooling then. I like using emails for person-to-person communication, not this.

And what better tooling could it be if not a tool explicitly designed for software development, like GitHub/GitLab/Gitea?

>Conventions are good. It's part of being human.

It definitely won't keep the creative juices flowing when 99% of said conventions can be automated out. Rather, having to do everything manually impedes my ability to work on actual creative things. This paragraph is also semi-contradictory to your earlier paragraphs on tooling.

I am replying to you on HN without manually typing "From:" "To:" because the website has automated that process for us.

Furthermore, you are wholly sidetracking the core issue here which is "How can we enforce conventions?" The more laborious following a convention is, the harder it is to enforce the convention.
> We've been eating it for a couple of millions of years.

My grandparents were farmers before farming became industrialized. If you look at how much meat they ate, it's very little compared to current generations.

Plus, what the cows and pigs ate in those days was very different than what they feed them today. I know of a farmer that raises a cow for his own consumption, and that one gets different food than all the rest. That should tell you enough already.

So the 'eat mostly plants' is very relevant for todays generation, even more so than before.
Erroneously in my opinion. Verifying someone's identity does not require making a copy. Nor is a copy sufficient.

The one thing making a copy is supposed to achieve is prove that someone saw the original. But what's important is not what was on it, but who saw it, where and when and whether it was valid. This doesn't require knowing what exactly is on the document, and a mere copy achieves none of these.

What grinds my gears is idiots in the Dutch government who should know better and decided to write into law that a copy or transcript is sufficient proof. So now everyone is storing lots of sensitive information to prove something the information does not show.

Dont let work be your whole life. To many people free time pretty much boils down to having dinner and going to bed. Instead engage more in socializing outdoors.

It is literally "worth it" for companies much smaller than Meta due to the reduced infra management costs plus increased hardware utilization. A few hundred unique VMs is a boatload of work (even if you distribute it down to the dev teams), and most of those VMs will be sitting idle most of the time, just burning electricity to keep the RAM on.
My (uninformed and probably misguided) idea was that there was a host DNS service (responsible e.g. for resolving local domain names) which would cause Windows itself to trigger some rule when 'web.whatsapp.com' is encountered.

But yeah, the PWA thing seems more plausible, even though I was not aware of any install prompt or similar.

I would need to read up on PWA, and there seems to be a LOT unfortunately.

In a sense all (non-stylized) rendering is physics-based in the sense that all that physics is a model, and indeed the field of physics has different models of differing accuracy/precision/applicability. So even pre-PBR could be called physical in the sense that it represents some sort model of light, the rest is more of question on degree of accuracy and applicability. What I'm aiming at is that the line drawn for PBR is drawn in sand and feels somewhat arbitrary.

Ubuntu has a Pro subscription for businesses, which is free for up to five (I think) installs for consumers.

Ubuntu Pro allows for things like patching the kernel while the kernel is running. If you're using VirtualBox, which uses kernel drivers on the host for acceleration, and you do a normal update, you need to reboot to make those drivers work again. You shouldn't need to, but something in Oracle's DKMS driver building process removes the existing drivers for some reason.

If the kernel is replaced while running, the new kernel modules should be loadable immediately and there will only be a brief moment during which VirtualBox wouldn't work.

Ubuntu Pro also provides updates to software packages that weren't maintained before the introduction to Ubuntu Pro (the Universe packages) so it's probably not a bad idea to enable it.

If you don't log in, you'll get the same experience Ubuntu always had before Pro was introduced, which includes the possibility of VirtualBox being broken until you reboot. This isn't Canonical sabotaging your wife's computer, it's just how some updates go down on Ubuntu.

Yeah this is why Threads will win. They have unlimited shots on goal due to being able to nudge users from IG over to threads literally billions of times per day.

Rent increases are capped by the ability of renters to move someplace cheaper.

UBI removes place dependencies that reduce people's abilities to move, so it can also have a down ward tendency on average rent.

UBI will be a win for landlords with reasonably priced rents in locations with fewer jobs, but it shouldn't enable exorbitant increases elsewhere.

Rent is a function mostly of supply. Fix that and you fix rent UBI or no.

I think translucency is mostly whacky because it's typically represented by a single alpha channel, and a tint is represented by a color added on top. Which is not how most transparent materials look like.

I think we could do better, even in RGB by treating translucency as a 3x3 matrix instead of a single alpha scalar. Per-channel transparency could be represented by a diagonal matrix, but there is no reason that the current RGB basis would be adequate for representing transparent materials, hence the generalization to a 3x3 matrix.

Then a tint wouldn't need to be defined additively, a green tinted glass could simply not let most of red and blue through.
>which did not work when it came out due to EAC

Nonsense. It worked on the day of release for me, on Linux. I don't know what went wrong on your side, but I played it on release day.

There were two issues, namely:

1. It crashed on start-up roughly half of the time. Not great, but survivable.

2. Swapping to a different workspace (Sway, Wayland) for an extended period of time made the game think your framerate is low, and it forced you to play offline with "FPS unsuitable for online play".

That's all. Other than that, the game experience was buttery smooth.

Judge Rules Against Musk Compensation Package
That Compose Multiplatform interoperability with the native views and other way around looks really nice, especially because it matches how SwiftUI deals with UIKit/AppKit interop. However, at this point it is hard to say if they will hit very similar performance issues that Flutter deals with as rest of the UI is not native and is drawn with Skia (as done by Flutter before it moved to Impeller for improved performance). It is definitely very valuable feature nonetheless.

A tool that automatically scraped github issues etc into a standard format and committed them to the repo could accomplish the same thing, no activitypub needed!
