Never in my life understood the people who invented terminal multiplexer to launch several copies of vim in different terminals. As much as you want, you can create tabs, terminals, floating windows, split panes and even recursively nested vims within a single instance of vim itself, like this: https://imgur.com/a/vUd9OOU

Can someone explain why this is needed and how it's better that of vim's splits tabs and panes?
Happy user of LineageOS. Unfortunately I need a few apps that look for Play Store like Whatsapp, so I'm using LineageOS+ MicroG. Have been using an old Moto G7 for years and it has still been faster than most Samsung phones. Thinking of upgrading but I'm gonna wait until the phone physically breaks down which might still be a few years away.

If you plan on installing Lineage, I strongly recommend buying Motorola phones that can be rooted very easily.
1. The other UUID versions are actually used. However, the expectations is in what the developer gets when generating it. Even "random ID" can be messed up if the author tries to be smart - e.g., rolling their own secret chronical sortability hack for their database but not telling you how much entropy and collision resistance you have left, or them hacking in multi-server collision resistance by making some bits a static server ID.

People have reason to do those things, and oh boy do you want to know that it's happening. With UUID, over-engineered as it may be, you know what you're asking for and can see what you're getting - truly random, server namespaced, or chronologically sortable.

2. Being upset over 4 bytes wasted to hyphens but not being upset about JSON itself seems hypocritical. JSON is extremely wasteful on the wire, and if you switch to something more efficient you also get to just send the UUID as 16 bytes. That's a lot more than 4 bytes saved.

Over JSON you can still base64 encode the UUID if it's not meant to be user-facing.

From what I've overheard of critical theory, this is the argument between historical contingency (historicism) and social construction (constructionism).

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01916599.2019.1...

: Historicism, dominating nineteenth-century Western thought and overseeing the professionalization of historical studies, advocated an understanding of the present condition of the human world as developing out of past conditions. Constructionism, dominating the second half of the twentieth century, understood the present condition as the recent invention of certain ‘historical’ environments, without prior existence.

People used to have letters to the editor and billboards. Even in computers there were login messages, user signatures, and presumably notes taped to shared terminals.
No mention of Threads or Mastodon until right at the end, with the throwaway line "none of them have seized mass culture".

Turkey. I've tried 4 different banks and so far all of them had a similar warning but worked completely fine.
Not only that, but in some cases your picture is also ran across a database. There is a company called Veridas who does this for banks, and since they are allowed by their clients to x-reference data,! has identified identity thiefs showing up in 4 banks with four stolen identities but the same face.

They offer all validations behind an API, so you don’t need to know how a Nigeria driving license looks like.

Nice people and nice products.
From my experience, the opposite is true. Managers want to change, and most of the people they manage are extremely reluctant to changing anything, and if they do change it's often random and undisciplined. Tools like strategic planning and OKRs are how managers and executives implement change at scale.
With absolutely no information about the future, there's actually no way to claim anything has a 'decent' chance.
The path of radioactivity through the missile facility would point at the facility with the beam, because the showers of induced particles would be along the same axis.

You then nuke that country out of existence, as is standard policy if governments fear an attack on their strategic capability.

You could also, eg, track the facility ingesting that incredible amount of power — whose signature would be basically impossible to hide from satellites.
... and where users are going to use it to do EVERYTHING in their daily digital lives, from doing financial transactions and accessing work email, to playing data-exfiltrating "free" games and surfing porn. And where the only actually viable location for backing up the data stored on it is some Big Tech conglomerate's cloud.

I agree it's pretty crazy.

I had an iPhone 4 and then a 5c (same size as the 5). The 4 was usually fine, sometimes a bit cramped, but the 5c really hit the sweet spot for screen size and one-handed usability. Someday I hope someone makes a decent modern phone just like the 5c.

I don’t understand this. Why can’t they just tell them?

How does it being an OKR make the communication more effective?

(Note: I mean this literally. I’ve never worked in an organization with OKRs, all I know about OKRs comes from HN. I want to understand your point better, not criticize it)
Why?

Most nukes are underground, so most of the fallout would be contained. And the result would be a world not fearing anymore for accidental or intentionally nuclear anhilation.

So most would consider that supervillain a super hero.

It may be a smallish percentage of the defence budget - but it would be a massive amount to get approved.

I agree with that. But this was expected reaction of HN. I will take your comment as a chance to quote the P5 report [1]

> There is a compelling physics case for constructing a 10 TeV or more pCM collider. Such a collider would search for direct evidence and quantum imprints of new particles and forces at unprecedented energies. There are several approaches: a 10 TeV muon collider, a 100 TeV proton-proton collider such as FCC-hh at CERN, or possibly a 10 TeV high-energy e+e– or γ-γ collider based on the wakefield acceleration technology. Any of them would enable a comprehensive physics portfolio that includes ultimate measurements in the Higgs sector, a broad search program providing access to new hidden sectors by producing a substantially higher mediator mass or probing even smaller coupling, and opportunities to produce new particles directly. All options for a 10 TeV pCM collider are new technologies under development and R&D is required before we can embark on building a new collider.

I think if you have the ability the travel between stars you probably also have machines to do work way more effectively than using human slaves.
Maybe they could use humans for a zoo or something.
Couldn't agree more. It's a fantasy that there is a magic wand or a system that can make anything and anyone efficient and productive at everything. I agree with the author, some process is needed to have a group of people on the same page, but it's not the driver of good results.

In my experience, these ideas - broadly detailed processes, not just OKRs - are pushed very strongly by ambitious people who don't want to actually work or get good at something. So they push the idea that we should have processes everywhere that solve problems on their own.

> Adults (moreso as we age) are scared to press things they don't understand.

I have one outlier in my family. He's old, understands less and less about tech. like while ten years ago he was still able to understand how there are multiple Windows open on his laptop belonging to multiple apps, nowadays he starts confusing minimizing and closing apps, can't tell apart wether a program is running or it's just the pinned launch-icon, uses edge, Firefox and chrome interchangably and gets confused.... But at the same time, he still wants to figure everything out himself on both laptop and smartphone which resulted in hilarious mess-ups sometimes. I don't know if it isn't worse than a child. At a certain age a child might still get scared by some of the prompts, I've seen firsthand an 8yo going "oh no this costs money, abort" in panic. I'm not so sure my relative would do that when they think they know what they're doing...
Side question, is writing COM stuff in Rust finally usable or is it still quite raw level programming, low level C style like before MFC and ATL came to be?

Rust/WinRT has plenty of old open tickets into that regard, and given the team's track record on how they messed the developer experience with C++/WinRT and then gave up on it, I am not too keen investing into Rust/WinRT.
You are fighting a straw man. Of course data-driven management or any kind of planning, at the extremes, has some awful manifestations. That's just bad application of these tools. Bad management. In many successful orgs people use their "willpower" and motivation and skill and originality to do work that is informed by data and follows strategic plans, agreed on in OKRs or similar devices.

During the late 90s, Turkish banks had to invest quite heavily on their IT infrastructure after new regulations. All that investment paid off in my opinion, as we can enjoy very high quality mobile and online banking.

Having a young population is also a big incentive for banks and government to invest in relatively newer tech.
> We are certainly aware of the fact that this kind of device can not only target the nuclear bombs but other kinds of weapons of mass destruction and also, unfortunately, any kind of living object including human. But we should emphasize that the device itself is not a weapon of mass destruction. The reason is as follows: The calculation in section 2 and
section 3 shows that it takes 1 second for this device to cover a 1 m2 with the radiation dose of 1 SV. It takes more than a year to cover the area of 10 km2 with this value of dose per unit area. It is extremely unlikely that no measure is taken after a few minutes of exposure of this kind.

I don't get it: it seems to be dangerous for people inside the beam, but it isn't? What kind of measures you can take if a city is aimed to with an invisible beam, probably from space?

Yeah, telescopes can see where the beam is aimed to buy then what? Neutrinos go through every shielding.

What am I missing?

The only thing I can think about is that to build that structure in space you have to be sure to suppress any missile from Earth and to win the war that your enemies will fight against you down here. Those are probably the measures to be taken.
Yeah it's a cat and mouse. I don't know about newer devices with HW attestation, but on older devices Magisk+Zygisk fixes many things but some apps still detect root. Then you add special widgets to block those, with the risk of breaking something. Funnily, all my bank apps, netflix/prime/disney streaming, everything works. Except recently my local supermarket loyalty app detected my root and refuses to work for "my security", have not dug into that yet, don't know if I have the motivation to... I just started using the physical card again at the store.
Armenia has suffered a national tragedy which they then turned into circus by their accusations against Russia. They neither recognized Karabakh as their own nor did they put up a serious fight. But they can's shut up telling everybody how they expected somebody else to fight instead of them.

Still, Russians did not write Armenia off completely even after all this.
> Lineage is more about convenience and longevity rather than security and privacy. As another commenter said, Graphene is most suitable for this task if it's a major concern.

Are there devices which graphene supports which aren't fully patched on lineage? AFAIK graphene is just outright not supporting devices without current kernel updates, while lineage does best effort on the long tail, meaning that on the same device they'll have the same kernel.
My ISP hands out IPv6 /48 subnets. The upside of this is that every customer of theirs gets enough IP addresses to give every grain of sand on the planet a couple.

Spending billions on a collider when the healthcare system is starved of funding and doctors are striking would be massively unpopular and wrong.

[Show HN] Admittedly much less visually engaging :), but some time back I was interested in the twin paradox, so I made a website where you fly a toyish spaceship between three stars and see how the various clocks and the space itself change. It's flat spacetime, so relatively easy to simulate and everything just runs in JS: https://twinparadox.org

The original motivation was, can one make a game with relativistic spaceships, conceptually speaking? The issue is that if a player calls another player IRL it'll be like instantaneous communication... In flat spacetime, though contradictory to its postulates, one can choose a preferred frame of reference, say the planets, and allow instantaneous communication within that plane, not leading to any inconsistencies in a game, I think. Curved spacetime doesn't admit a notion of simultaneity, so that's completely out, no black holes in a game :( Never really got to the point of modelling multiple ships though, the life caught up. So it's just a single ship on the website for the moment.
If you e.g. use LSPs or similar tools it usually is better to separate different projects into different Vims. Most of these tools rely on some kind of project root and may get confused if you have different ones opened in the same Vim instance.

I personally also like the separation and navigating my Tmux is very fast. To me Vim is the perfect editor but I don't want to use it as windowing or operating system replacement. Obviously I use tabs and windows in Vim but always only regarding the project I am working in. E.g. I use tabs for diffs a lot and reviewing.
Happy user as well. I use it on a broken (no speaker, no loudspeaker) Pixel 4a salvaged into a walkman for when I am biking or at the gym. The experience is so seamless and smooth that I am considering switching my main 6a as well.

For coffee shop computing, I’d like a computer than is clearly only for programming/creative work.

When you saw Hemingway with a typewriter in a cafe, or Feynman with pages of squiggles in a bar, it was obvious at a glance they were creating. And 30 years ago, a programmer could also look like that, but laptops have been ruined by entertainment.
In the short term, this seems good for EU citizens. But in the long term, say 20 years, how many of these anti-businenss policies would make the EU market so inefficient that EU citizens will begin to get way less for their money?

Over the long term, the EU will continue to decrease in terms of percentage of world GDP. This will make it easier for companies to pull out of the market or not enter in the first place which would decrease the competition and quality within.
Been happily running lineageos for a couple of years now. No microg and no play store. F-droid for the apps. Interestingly, meta make WhatsApp available via a direct apk download, which helps a lot because before that I was using a play store downloader (the family is on WhatsApp). I use a per-app password to access gmail over IMAP in Kmail. Battery life is amazing, and I think I had one crash in 2 years. Thanks a lot to the lineageos team for all hard work!
~8+ years ago: I wanted to know if/how I could accomplish X with tool Y in the relevant group. Showed examples of what I had tried with negative or inconclusive results, listed some SO and non-SO references I consulted, and specifically said I was _not_ looking for alternate tool recommendations since that was against the guidelines.

Got closed because I was asking for recommendations (!) which was against the posting guidelines that I obviously had not read.

There was another ~1-2 years before that which got a few helpful responses/discussion and one or two that were off base. It got closed for attracting low quality responses.

Suffice it to say I wasn't lazily shotgunning SO but posted only when thorough research and experimentation hadn't gotten me over the hump.
Used to think OKRs were total bullshit, until I started working on a project spanning multiple teams with cross-org dependencies.

OKRs are effectively a quarterly negotiation to get alignment across teams so that large, complex, projects get done on time.

They create accountability and the ability to escalate up the chain when a team you have a dependency on isn't prioritizing what you need to unblock your project.

Generally, if you think OKRs are bullshit, it means they're being applied at a too granular level, or misapplied in an organization that doesn't require strong collaboration across team or org boundaries.

It "seems" easy and obvious when you're a leaf node how a team, org, company should be run and coordinated, but when you actually try and do it, and lead, it's nowhere near as easy as it seems.

OKRs, misapplied, suck. But there has to be some way to get large groups of people to align on specific targets. Effectively something like them have to exist.
> Apple has claimed to be at the forefront of design for decades,but their UIs look just as garbage as many others at elderly font sizes.

They also claim to be against waste and ecologically responsible, yet adopt the worst anti-consumer and anti-environment market practices they can get away with. Hell, they invented some.
In my experience the best way to prepare for changes is to write dumb code.
Mind that the original paper is 20 years old. Of course we could construct a more powerful intermediate collider today than the sub-TEV one suggested in this old paper. I think most proposals these days target ~10 TeV to study the Higgs and probe the rest of the weak scale for supersymmetry. But these are just the fancy high-end goals. There's a plethora of other things we could learn simply from building such a machine, because it requires so many new technologies.
Sure, but that "prologue" could a couple thousand years (or more) for all we know. ;)

How crucial is a PhD in AI for securing a job within the industry?
29M. I'm currently doing a PhD in AI, which is going fine, but on a niche subject (nothing related to generative AI, Computer Vision, or Deep Learning). I still have two years left, and unfortunately I came to the conclusion that academia is not for me, and I would like to leave. I enjoy doing research, but I hate feeling trapped in an academic bubble of papers and conferences with no real-world ramifications (great respect for fellow researchers, but it's just not for me).

The consensus seems to be, "if you want to do a PhD for the money (my case), don't do it". But at the same time, I have seen people suggesting that the bar is rising and that having a PhD can help you get a high-profile job.

What is not clear to me is how many doors I would close. Realistically, it's now or never. I am afraid that if I change my mind in 2 or 3 years, I would be too old to start a PhD again. On the other hand, continuing is really stressful and damaging to my mental health (I've had depressive episodes in the last year), and, financially I'm barely breaking even.
>ageist demeaning Doro

Not everything is an ism. Doro makes phones for people with poor eyesight. Most of those people are old. Glancing at their product catalogue, it doesn't seem much different from what you're doing with Lineage OS. Not everyone will have a geeky son to make a customised Lineage phone. Doro fills a niche. Be thankful someone does.
Controlled rest is completely different. It is not already happening.
I’ll give a very simple job security lesson.

A small resort I worked for had a guy that had been there from the very beginning. He knew where every single water line was on the entire resort. A map was never made of those water lines.

When a new general manager was hired years later, he wanted to fire the guy who always showed up late for work, and was considered lazy. The owner of the of the resort said, “you can’t fire him, he’s the only one that knows where all the water lines are”.

Job security boys,job security.
