I don't understand. I don't even have to technically turn head with 3 screens. It's just eyes I have to move, and even if I turned head, it's barely 20 degrees?

I have 3 screens, but honestly would prefer more.

I find it more uncomfortable to eyes to switch screens on the same window, especially if one is light and the other is dark. The blinking is disorientating and can be eye hurting, because eye is not prepared for the color switch/ doesn't know what to expect.

I have 22 inchers around 32 inches away from my eyes.

When looking at the video in the OP, the issue is more like the screen seems so close and plastered to the FOV. When you could have more screens further away.

In real life all 3 screens are in my FOV, I would feel massively overwhelmed if it appeared as it did in his video, not sure if it is giving a correct perception.
... is it close to an IQ test? Like, people study very specifically for these standardized tests, and success is also related to how much prep work you put in. I think that may also align with how people study for exams once they're enrolled students, how much work they put into projects/papers/etc.
How can you have more than half without more than everyone else (who by definition have less than half) combined?
I agree. Every other comment here seems to be like "well duh" and I'm... skeptical. My experience is that the ACT/SAT seem to be good indicators of getting good grades in well-defined spaces. But things like creativity, curiosity, work ethic are much better predictors of other kinds of success that frankly matter much more in the real world.

I know some really, really unintelligent people who got good grades in college. They just ate books.

> All wars have something in common: they end.

Not really? Many conflicts routinely simmer on for decades, and peace treaties that officially end a war rarely resolve conflicts. Israel is fighting I believe it's 4th war against Hamas this century, for example; its broader conflict against its neighbors has been going on arguably at least a full century. The Balkans are somewhat infamous for the depth of history of its conflicts: the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was chosen to occur on the 500-somethingth anniversary of another conflict, for example.

> I assumed people raised on typing would memorize better that way. But the experiments seem to contradict my worldview

As another article[0] puts it, "going old school works because your brain is old school".

'Handwriting likely facilitates learning and memorization because of the numerous one-of-a-kind physical cues it provides: the shapes of your letters, the tactile feel of the paper and pen, the location of your words on the page, and details like folded corners, ink color, and other marks on the page. Your brain absorbs all of these pieces of information, which can later serve as triggers so that you more precisely pull the information from your memory.

By comparison, when you enter information into a phone or tablet, your words have no fixed position and then disappear when you close the app, leaving substantially less tactile and spatial information for your mind to absorb'

> We don’t know why Caesars canceled us, they won’t say beyond it being a strategy change and it is not related to anything that DEF CON or our community has done. This kind of no-notice cancellation of a contract is unheard of in the conference business. The parting is confusing, but amicable.

It is absolutely related to DEF CON. Remember that Caesars suffered a massively embarrassing hack in September, and it is highly likely the top brass and investors don't want any association with hackers from an image and security standpoint, especially in the form of hosting a conference that brings tens of thousands of them to the hotel.
Yes, this. An inbound unexpected communication of any sort cannot be trusted, so I don't trust them. If it seems real and important, I'll contact the whoever sent the communication using a communcations channel I know to be accurate. I'll call them back instead of talking to someone who called me, I'll never click links in emails/texts, and I'll ignore anything an email/text/whatever says and at worst interpret it as a signal that I need to contact someone separate from the email/text/whatever.

But most people do none of these things. They'll click links in emails, respond to texts, and so forth. I suspect that they do this either out of ignorance or laziness.

The problem is, as Doctorow discovered, we are all, without exception, vulnerable to phishing attempts and other con games. Not all the time, but if one catches you at just the right moment...
The headline should really be, "A test-optional policy is likely a barrier to Dartmouth identifying less-advantaged students who would succeed at Dartmouth." I think it's no surprise to anyone that test scores correlate with academic success, but it might seem counterintuitive that test-optional policies actually bias admission in favor of higher-income students.
If you think that it's the role of a developer to figure out what a client wants, then well... We have completely divergent views of how the the process should be. A software developer should develop for a specification, he or she should not be there to entertain clients in a game of creating a product.

It's not that scrum is not perfect, scrum is an absolute garbage that unfortunately today fits very well with the micromanaging hunger of managers, no method is better than scrum.

The entire financial industry

also, every huge corporation that paid a vast (but relative to their market cap, insignificant) settlement, long after incidents in question, without admitting guilt.

Corporations have essentially culled vast numbers of humans until forced to stop. What’s a little lucrative nosiness in that context?

The massive tide of legally gray (including very dark gray) media hoovered up by training data vacuums isn’t exactly an industry secret. Whether any known player is more serious about protecting data source interests over their own ambitions remains to be verifiably demonstrated.

Someone once said, “it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission”. Someone might add, “if ever, or only performatively for congressional testimony theatre purposes, and definitely only after requiring a more punitive legal/regulatory moat to lock in the benefits of your non-compliance”.

ANY sketchiness should be taken seriously. Not making accusations. But sooner or later, somebody is going to say, “it’s a lot easier to cry and complain than claw back information someone took from you, who has billions to spend on lawyers”.

Incident with 1Password sign-in 2/5/2024
No, I was not surprised. It’s like a flavor of complicated Middle Eastern politics that is interesting to observe.
I was a relative early adopter of smartphones, and have used one for most of my adult life (since university). For me it is an incredibly useful and almost irreplaceable daily tool:
- photography and audio recording
- note taking
- maps/navigation/compass
- email
- file management
- messaging/audio communication
- tickets and traveling
- language translation (does anyone have a recommendations for a less privacy invasive tool similar to Google Lens translation?)
- calculators
- emergency flashlight
- fitness and health tracking
- time keeping/alarms/timers
- weather
- quickly looking up information online
- reminders/calendars and task management
- books (both text and audio)
- music storage and playback
- banking/finance/payments
- passwords and token management is far more convenient

I’m also on call for work 24/7, so quickly having access to employer’s and customer’s communication service, software, and files is a requirement.

All of these tasks could be completed using multiple different tools, but with immensely greater friction and difficulty. It amplifies and augments mental capabilities.

The downsides as I see them so far:
- Constant access to data, distractions, news, communication reduces ability to focus and can create mental fatigue (but I already had issues with focusing anyway, so the benefits of time management outweigh the cons)
- Social media…enough said
- probably reduces memory and mental capacity as its easier to simply look something up or run a quick calculation than to remember data or do mental math. So while it can augment mental capacity, it can also become a crutch. Like every new technology there are both benefits and cons. It requires leveraging the new technology in a way that benefits you, and mitigating or managing any negative impacts.

My lack of including that flight was a mistake. I was unaware that Comair was operating as a subsidiary of Delta.

Still, it doesn’t really change the upshot. No manufacturer was at fault here. And even if you include this flight in the data, flying in the U.S. is safer than any other form of travel.

I chose to limit it to airlines operating in the U.S. due to our generally higher expectations around maintenance, pilot training, and workload, amongst other things. I chose to limit it to major commercial airlines because that is what most people fly on, and it removes extremely small tourism operators who are often far less rigorous in their safety practices and which are crewed by relatively low-hour pilots who are working up toward qualifying for a major. It also eliminates cargo aircraft which are not relevant. And lastly, I’m choosing to include only passengers to eliminate things like people walking onto active runways.

Hopefully you can understand why I chose these limitations. Not to skew the data, but because it is most relevant to most people on this site, and because it’s not really insightful or helpful to point out that there are many more crashes in the many countries out there with lax safety practices.
I've used baofeng as a base for a while. I put a home-made yagi on the roof of a shed and I could communicate with probably a few dozen active repeaters, some hundreds of miles away. Had to rotate the yagi via a state of the art "nylon rope" system.

They're incredibly useful -- any time that you want to both:

- Reference data from the previous part of the query (the "left-hand side")

- Return multiple columns

The only way you can achieve it is with LATERAL/CROSS APPLY.

Regular correlated subqueries can only return a single column, so something like this doesn't work:

SELECT
loop.val, (SELECT loop.val * loop.val, 'second column') AS squared
FROM
(SELECT loop.val FROM generate_series(1,5) AS loop(val)) as loop

You'd get:

error: subquery must return only one column

> How many games run on xbox, playstation, pc, windows, mac, etc. that include an entire UI library with native font rendering, events, buttons, windows, etc.

And each required a non-trivial amount of engineering effort AND are not common libraries between game vendors. A lot of duplicated effort. In addition, they may look the same but there are A LOT of platform-specific differences that must be maintained separately.

> Apple brought iOS apps to MacOS with relatively little effort

Because they spent literally decades bringing their dev tools and libraries in sync with one another. You're highlighting the last lap of a marathon. It should be noted that it only applied to a single platform, Apple's. There was absolutely no cross-pollination with non-Apple targets.

> steam likewise via proton did a great amount more in brining entire non-linux game libraries to linux.

Again, the last lap of a marathon, building on decades of Wine work before it. And even then, there are huge swaths of games that have not been ported.

> Making a stupid cross-platform UI library is absolutely trivial

Yes, Java AWT was one example. Java AWT/Spring was yet another. wxWidgets, Qt, and others as well. Only a minority of devs use these because they are either a pain in the ass to use, have uncanny valley aspects when deployed, or just plain don't look good outside of a Linux environment (where almost everything looks like crap by default).

Have YOU actually used and shipped a cross-platform app with a GUI? Do you have personal experience in this area, or are you talking about theoreticals and trade magazine articles. Because I have. It's a royal pain in the ass. Electron was far easier to deal with though bloated and slow as it is.

It's why Tauri is so attractive to me now. Far fewer resources while still maintaining a common, familiar cross-platform API.
I love this. With a bit more free time and experience this would be me.
This is not what I call a for loop but more akin to a list comprehension.

Everyone who ever waged war since the dawn of time though they are justified or entitled to do it.

Russia invaded Ukraine to defend endangered Russian minorities. Israel pounds tens of thousands of civilians that they were already treating inhumanely into dust to defend against terrorists. US blew up villages in Asia or weddings in the Middle East to defend democracy. Germany plunged Europe into war to defend the dream of the third Reich.

It's "only" a matter of painting yourself as a victim or as a defender of what's right. Even a robber will justify breaking into your home or killing your family by the need to feed their family.

But to address your point head on, there is absolutely no way the war Israel waged on Palestine for decades, killing more acutely these days, is about any reasonably justifiable defense more than the Holocaust was in defense. It's just one more step into implementing the extremist views that the current Israeli leadership always had. But if you have enough money and ignorant enough audience the world is your oyster.
I believe there's some research that suggests your college GPA is not correlated strongly with job performance[1]. I suspect if SAT/ACT scores are strongly correlated with GPA, there's reason to suggest it may also not be strongly correlated with job performance (but I can't find anywhere that tests that).

I suppose this shouldn't be surprising. School does not train you to be a good office worker.

A few comments here say humans are reconstituted preexisting matter. But aren't there added inputs from sunlight and photosynthesis over millions of years?

There's probably not a net gain, as a system, because we're also radiating heat out, burning fossil fuels, etc., but the earth isn't a closed system, is it?

If not for the constant influx of sunlight, we'd have to rely on core heat (tube worms and chemoautotrophy) to fuel metabolism, which most species don't do. It's photosynthesis of algae, plants, and cyanobacteria and subsequent predation that allows most life, including us, to flourish, no? And that requires a constant external input of sunlight?

Tips:

1. Live simply and reduce expenses. Avoid debt if you can. Rice and beans recipe: https://hypertexthero.com/eat-play-read/

2. Try to be nice to other nice people and stay in touch with past co-workers, especially the nicest ones. They make the best bosses or clients later. Don’t burn bridges unless there is no other option.

3. Always be working on a project for yourself that you enjoy and can learn new skills from. If the project could be useful for others, clean it up a bit and share it.

4. Use a paper weekly planner and write down things to do and cross them out when they’re done. Write ideas and things to look up here. Have a drawer or cardboard box in which you throw pieces of paper with ideas written on them. Open the drawer and pick a random piece of paper when feeling stuck.

5. Look in the mirror now and again and ask yourself if you are happy with the upcoming day. If there are too many days in a row when you’re not, time to change, move, etc.

My Bug Story
The reason people measure first year GPA is that, in the past, all freshmen at a college took the same set of classes. If you measure 3rd year GPA, you get confounded by the difference between physics students and French students.

Obviously, the worth of the metric goes down over time as first-year curricula differentiate from each other.

> But is GPA the best measure, especially first year?

No. For example, SAT score is a better single measure than GPA is. But you can't use that to check the validity of SAT scores.
I used to do this, but I preferred using lyx since it would typeset the equation as you typed it. I did it not for beautiful notes but out of sheer laziness. I could copy and paste the previous equation and tweak it to form the next step. More so useful for homework.

You obviously carry guilt about what you eat that I do not have. Perhaps You turn the guilt you feel into an explanation and justification of a bad idea behavior of a certain people because you are morally conflicted about it.

I am not morally conflicted and as such if someone wants to proselytize to me and attempt to impose their mortality and condemn me, I am well within my right to consider them an asshole. I am also capable of judging the behavior of many people who share that same belief and express the same proselytizing here on HN as representatives of that same group…and by their behavior define the qualities and beliefs of that group. I damn sure don’t see the gentle and non-judgemental members disagreeing with those assholes when they get loud. Their silence is compliance.

So it’s not just one, but many, and judging from the lack of apparent public disagreement within that group it’s a well deserved reputation.

Ah, my apologies then. I have updated but out of habit, I haven't tried it on my phone since that feature hasn't worked for years.
I agree with other commenters that paper and pencil are the way to go for true learning, but the other week I left my notebook at home for a lecture, and was able to keep good notes with Typst, although my typing speed isn't excellent. Curious what other people think about Typst vs Latex for notes?

Edit: reading a bit further, it seems like Typst has the ability to do a lot of the snippets as-is ($->$ is \to, $in$ is \in, etc.), and since variables in Typst are usable by mere mortals, it's easier to hack in the language you already use. For example, I use `#let la = $lambda$` as a shortcut.
If I had done that, I'd have had the choice between not keeping up, or having issues reading the material again, later.
Resolution is the big compromise with color e-ink, the effective pixel density is cut in half when the color layer is enabled. With the current best panels you get 300dpi in mono mode but only 150dpi in color mode, and fidelity of the mono mode is compromised compared to a mono-only panel with the same resolution. The color rendition still isn't great either.
Well that's the part that deserves some additional research.
