It depends on what you want out of a DE, I guess. I prefer minimalist window managers (evilwm!), though the wayland team seems hell-bent on breaking them.

XFCE, LXDE, etc, are OK compromises, since they let you configure wifi graphically out of the box (they are similar to windows before the whole windows 8 thing). Current KDE is surprisingly good too. I get the impression all of those will continue to work for a long time.

Anyway, the worst thing about MacOS is the window management. It's ridiculously buggy. Just the other day, I couldn't find one of my VS Code windows with the mouse or keyboard. I had to go to the "Window" menu and click on it to get it to open.
There are possibly many entities with interests in destabilizing the US. The US does the same to other countries. I'm not talking about cyberattacks and the Russiagate hoax invented by the mainstream media in collusion with Hillary Clinton. I'm talking about the words and actions of the most powerful people in the world who are on all the big corporate boards and have the backing of every big media outlet. The Russiagate hoax deserves a thread of its own.

> cast iron == gas stoves == meat

See, you're equation here is slightly wrong.

cast iron == open fire == food

city folk consider gas stove as open flame, and it cracks us rednecks up. sure, you can cook meat in a cast iron, but it's much better cooked directly on the grill over the coals that were once the open flame cooking all of the sides in the cast iron
> capability in the US to do large castings and forgings is basically gone

This is true but irrelevant to space flight. We don’t fly big cast or forged parts.

Saturn V contained aluminium cast parts, but nothing we can’t make today [1]. (To my knowledge, no components were built in our WWII-era forges.) Modern carbon composites and aluminium alloys are superior, and we’re in the process of surpassing the Saturn V’s capabilities in SpaceX’s Starship.

Right and data center fires are extremely rare. Think of how many UPSs are in the wild. The failure by fire rate is probably something like 0.000001%.
People are 99% of the problem I have at work. Doing things poorly. Not caring about processes just wanting to get things out the door with little regard to quality unless the customer complains. Abuse of agile has made me hate it. 15-30 minutes a day wasted as the program manager leads it.
Interesting, because it highlights that from the beginning boycotts were morally fraught, and even the first (?) boycott involved violence against non-participants.
Its probably more complex then I'm ready to explain in a comment section. But its useful when you are working on your own branch (IDK why you wouldn't be?) and need to integrate recent merges from the master branch on to your own branch.
This seems like it might be relevant to my job, but I can't find out what it is exactly.

I'm a bit confused, don't you just navigate to the page and right click the url to add that page to search? It will default to an @baseurl, like @wikipedia. But you can go to settings > search and scroll down and add your own shortcut. Or you can click the cog wheel in the address bar.

Another user mentioned ddg's bang commands, and that's how I name things. But also built in there's "^ " (need the space) for history, "* " for bookmarks, "% " for tabs and "> " (disabled by default?) for actions.

I really don't see how this is meaningfully different from chrome. Aren't you performing the same actions? Or actually less? "navigate to url, right click, add, (optional) click cog, supply additional shortcut(s)"
Right, don't work in that org. Find the org with more of the intelligent, optimistic and genuinely good, helpful people.

An involved alternative is to access whatsapp through a matrix bridge. It requires either paying for hosting or figuring out how to host a matrix server and the whatsapp bridge [1]; I do the latter and can attest it's not very hard if you have a technical background (and you're on hn, so you probably do), but YMMV. There's a lot of matrix clients, all of which open source; and the whatsapp bridge works really well nowadays, enough that I've been using it almost exclusively for my texting (no whatsapp calls tho).

In fact, I recently bought a non-smartphone running KaiOS, and use whatsapp through a matrix client, chooj - which, although in early alpha, works well for my use case of accessing whatsapp while outside the home without having to carry an addictive smartphone with me. KaiOS does have a native whatsapp app, but it does not support whatsapp web at all, and that is an absolute necessity for me, especially when typing requires (bad) T9.

My point is, matrix bridges afford A LOT of freedom with how to access whatsapp (and other closed-source communication apps), if you're willing to deal with some friction. And now they're stable and mature enough that they work pretty darn well - no doubt thanks in part to support from beeper [2], which funds development for several major bridges. Within the android ecosystem, beeper is probably the easiest way to gateway all your communications through matrix, though I have no experience with it. Sounds like paid matrix+bridge hosting, plus a generally much nicer and frictionless experience.

Apple has several levels of audio to chose from:

Lossy AAC at 256Kbit

Lossless ALAC up to 24-bit/48 kHz

Hi-Res Lossless ALAC up to a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz.

They also have the spatial track options on a lot of music in Atmos, if that’s your thing.

All options are included with the base subscription, but listening to the Hi-Res audio typically requires an external DAC as well.
This will keep you busy: https://newdiscourses.com/ He is really a great speaker. Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald also cover a lot of stuff on their channels.
Organizational dysfunction can squash/squander even the most talented engineers. Especially in a big org in big tech. My bet is that their inability to deliver before is probably a result of non-comittal funders/decision makers, product whiplash, corporate politics, and other non-technical challenges.

Google has been the home of the talent for many years. They came on my radar in the late 00s when I used Peter Norvig's textbook in college, and they hired Ray Kurzweil in like 2012 or 2013 IIRC. They were hiring ML PhDs with talent for many years, and they pioneered most of the major innovations. They just got behind on productizing and shipping.
With a little finagling, I was able to get ComfyUI working for my AMD Cards. I purchased 7800XT with 16GB RAM and have been pretty happy with its value. Getting around 9it/s for a simple SD 1.5 pipeline using 512x512 latent image. Not a speed beast, but plenty fast to teach my kids about AI and run some local models.

> the bankruptcy lawyers had to come up with some system to pay people back

I don’t think it’s a lawyer’s decision: per law, everyone’s unsecured debts get fixed at the date of bankruptcy filing converted into dollars.
Similar story, I transferred a decent amount of money from one bank account to another (different bank). I thought nothing of it, but I got a call randomly from what appeared to be the receiving bank's 'fraud' phone number (based on Google). I picked up, and the person on the end had an extremely thick accent similar to scam callers. He started asking me if I had made a transaction recently (I said yes), then asked me to confirm this transaction if I would provide additional information about myself, including home address and social... I refused, and was told if I didn't my bank account would get locked!

Sure enough... I had to go down to the local branch to get my account unlocked, as well as prove the amount of money I was transferring was... available in the other account? Absolutely ridiculous. I don't even know what sort of fraud they were trying to prevent, as this wasn't a new bank account and I'd made transfers between them before.
I’d be worried about excessive iron intake from a cast iron pan. Too much dietary iron can cause all sorts of problems. How about enameled (glass coated) pans instead?

I started out at meso (~2005) and I worked for them for quite some time but I am not really one of the meso guys. tbh I landed there by chance at the recommendation of a friend while looking for a place to write my diploma thesis. at that time I had no idea whatsoever what they were doing and no relation at all to "digital arts" or "generative design".
Similar unforced error: I got emails from healthcare.gov for required actions on the site's marketplace. But the links used the lnks.gd shortener, hiding what domain you were actually going to end up at! They're encouraging people to blindly click on links with no idea where it takes them!

What's worse, you can't even go to the lnks.gd root to check where a shortened link is going. And the "shortened" link was actually longer, with all the payload crap they rolled in. They could have just used the normal url plus small internal identifier of which email it was if they needed to track it, and it would have been shorter.

There was no reason to use a shortener, let alone such a shady one!
Our last cat did this, too (though in our case the car was a Mazda 3). It took me a while to realize what was going on.

It also has a significant amount of detail in subtle ways, some that can't really be appreciated until you try it.

My go-to example of this is the "Attention Set," which came directly from Google's Critique. In short, it just tells you "Who should look at this change next," i.e. if you publish a change, it's the reviewers turn. They leave comments you need to fix, so now it's your turn. And so on and so forth.

That's a feature that, in retrospect, seems instantly obvious and "duh", but it's something that actually is not obvious to the designer unless you have spent a lot of time in the general problem space.

Gerrit is a really great, productive tool.

And yet, it happens.
I'm an outsider and am speculating based on what I've heard, so maybe I shouldn't even comment, but to me it seems like it's been entirely corporate/organizational reasons. Non-serious funding, shifting priorities, personnel transfers/fluctuations, internal fragmentation, and more. Lack of talent has never been their problem.
FTX did not crash the crypto market. The crypto market crashed FTX. Crypto running on greater fool theory ran out of fools. FTX was just caught swimming naked after the tide went down.
You shut those emotions down. Which can be a really long journey for some people and probably easy for no one. One route is stoicism, but that’s a little depressing in my opinion, so I much prefer mindfulness and self-confidence. Whatever your method you’ll also need to be assertive and this too will be easier for some people than others.

Some of the easy first steps to take is to imagine that unpleasant people are having the worst day of their lives. We’re talking their dog dying, their spouse having affairs on FaceTime with their boss who fires them during their act, their car exploding all their clothes being too short and their doctor telling them they have cancer bad. Or imagine them naked or whatever which either generates sympathy or makes them ridiculous in your mind. And then use assertiveness to get away from them as fast as possible.

At least in civilized society where going down the path of Khorne is frowned upon for whatever reason.
What are you talking about ;) (thanks, I edited it)
The way their apps are pushy about whatever tangentially-related audio product they’re decided to burn money on this month also isn’t great. If that stuff really has to be part of the main app, it should be sequestered to its own tab and not be seen unless sought out.
That's not right. Margin is a great tool.
And they put the money back in the till years later, after the owner of the store lost their house.
John Dvorak is such a strange guy. His uncle August invented the Dvorak keyboard. He used to be a contributor to early TechTV and ZDnet productions. Now he runs a far-right podcast and Mastodon server that seems extremely popular with Neo-Nazis and other ethnonationalists...

Personally, I try not to give a shit about anything he has to say.
> Absolutely not my experience from those days, VPSs were rock-solid for me.

Likewise, my personal toy VPS actually dates back to 2009 and the only unplanned downtime it's ever had were when Linode was one of the targets of one of those big DDoS waves a few years back. Even then it was online and working fine internally, just limited in its ability to reach the outside world.

The VPS itself has been rock solid and in 15 years the only times it's not been at least trying to serve whatever I have on it have been when I've rebooted it for updates.

No, to make it the same as Mt. Gox they'd have to sit on the money for at least a decade without paying anyone. Ever.
Doesn’t that speak to parent’s point? Git original implementation did not scale to huge sizes. Needed specific development work to change assumptions. Presumably similar design improvements could change fossil.
> They would call us stupid for not being able to remember the smell of more than a few dozen objects.

Dogs obviously have incredibly more advanced olfactory systems but I feel like you're downplaying humans here. I'm pretty sure there's hundreds of very specific smells I could identify pretty well. Smell of home, pencil rubbers, chalk clouds, rotten bananas, denim.. things do have quite specific smells and there's a lot of things.

Labor isn't free. Building custom PCBs and hardware in low quantity isn't cheap. Building, calibrating, and testing robots isn't cheap.
This is sooo good... how are you guys making money since you are offering it for free?
I've never encountered that (though something similar happened with a ubisoft game on my unmodified Nintendo Switch...), but can't you just grab a pirate copy if this happens?
And to be clear, this isn't an accusation that you're necessarily imagining differences in sound. It could even be something as simple as one source being very slightly quieter than the other (due to the player software rather than differences in the audio encoding).
"The electron beam is a promising technology to break down PFAS in large volumes of water that contain high concentrations of PFAS,"

I wonder how well this works with water that has low concentrations of PFAS, because I guess that's what we've really got.

Also, would be nice to have some numbers on power consumption per cubic meter of water treated: is it feasible to deploy this method in waste water treatment plants for example?

As a computational biologist, I have a lot of embarrassingly parallel problems, so the lightweight concurrency of Go is really easy. In addition, my algorithms and data perform comfortably in GC-land 99% of the time, reducing my mental overhead (for science!). I had to reach for unsafe.Pointer() only once and that was to use Other People's Code (TM).

I consistently find my code runs 20-80x faster than the equivalent in Python and I'm not about to cram C++ or Rust into my head along with all the biology I've memorized for ~2x performance improvement and >5x learning curve. On HN, I shouldn't need to explain why I don't use Java despite a similar set of tradeoffs to Go (other than memory use, historically).
Yeah, his "very large system" is just that way because it is modelled after the organization/team structure. Unavoidable.
I'm unfortunately forced to use access at work. I never wanted to learn what is, unless MS do something, a dead technology, I fully agree that most access databases are a shit show but only because nondevelopers (as mentioned but others).

As a published street photog, we not talking about voyerism, were talking about not attracting bozos with "oh what lens is that"...

Also as a film photog, Leica lost their use 40 years ago...

When I first started I'd say I was up to my normal speed within about half a page of Freeform journaling, initially it took conscious effort but then the brain just kinda went "oh."

Tangent: after that first day I had the thought to hold the resulting pages up to a mirror. The backwards writing was disconcertingly neater than my regular. (And remained that way even as I got faster and lazier)

Also for some unknown reason I formed the lowercase "A" entirely differently - everything else was the same..

Brains are weird.
Looking forward to this change! I am constantly switching to the wrong piece by clicking on the piece I want when it's already selected.

Another thing that would help me is if it showed a ghosted image of where the piece will be before I place it (like Starcraft, Age of Empires, and a million other games do). If you had that, I would never place the wrong piece accidentally, or accidentally in the wrong place.

Great game, really fun!
There's a massive sampling and confirmation bias with Bunny, though admittedly as a sheepdog owner the videos are very cute.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, Reddit has really turned "picking up a hobby" into "selecting and purchasing the correct gear, talking about the gear, and deciding which gear to purchase next". Don't even get me started on keyboard fetishists, who dispense with the hobby pretense and just buy gear (yeah a nice keyboard is a great thing to have but I've never lubricated a switch in my life and never intend to)

Show HN: Refractify – Optical software against myopia
Last summer there was an Ask HN[1] about a Nature article that said bluring the blue and green color channels on screen may be good against early myopia development. The OP wanted such software and there was none available.

So I quit my job and implemented this software, did a short video with a 3D artist about it.

Turns out marketing is expensive, so I made an open source browser extension version too.

How it works?

There is a small neural network on the retina that tries to detect if the eye is far-sighted(most people are born far-sighted), and it is producing dopamine to slow or increase eye growth rate. It is not very smart, and if you do a lot of near-work it can think you are still hyperopic, causing further myopia progression.

So, based on the refractive properties of the eye the software calculates the signal that would convince the retinal neural network that the eye is long enough, so it would produce dopamine, a known signal to stop axial eye growth. (based on myopic defocus LCA from the papers[2][3])

Some myopia control techniques work similarly, like MiSight and Hoya lenses.

Since then I got a Neurobiologist co-founder and the goal is to best understand the Retinal NN to create the best anti-myopic effect that does not interfere with productivity.

The effect can be tried live on the site. Also check out the github repo. Any questions suggestions welcome!
