> the editor window is nearly as tall as a 1080p but it can barely display 20 lines

No it's not 1080p tall? The image is 945 pixels tall, including an extensive box shadow. I'd wager that it's around 800 pixels high. The font also looks significantly bigger (esp taller) than it is on my machine.

Additionally, the search panel is usually not folded out. You can also move it to the side at your discretion (although I don't think the Kate search pane is very well suited to that). In Kate I also remove the toolbar so that I only have the menu bar, since new/open is rare for me (I use the file tree), save is just ctrl+s, and undo/redo is also something I use keyboard shortcuts for.

I don't use Kdenlive, but I don't see the problem for the clip problem list window either. Maybe the buttons on the side might be better located at the bottom, but that's it. The only real problem is that the window should probably be larger than it is on the screenshot, however it looks like you can freely resize it.

Finally, the things you mention are not related to the theme at all, but instead the layout of individual applications.
Having never read Wool the Silo was great TV.

In fact, I've never even heard of Wool and never would have, most likely, now it's on my to-read list.
When that happens game engines will be redundant.
This is not a worthwhile trade. The person sending the PR should not send LLM code that they can't vouch for, under the expectation that reviewers will find any vulnerabilities. That's just dumping the work onto the reviewers.
I wonder how many cross country business trips were necessary while designing the cap.
In other words, Down syndrome isn't inherited therefore not something evolutionary forces can act on. The only way around that is if the base rate of chromosomal anomaly is heritable, yes?
100% agree.

Many red flags here:

- Look at the text below the headers "Explaining RSA Cryptography" and "Explaining RSA Cryptography with JavaScript". Both paragraphs start with the exact same text. I believe there are far more chances that this was generated by a machine rather than a human.

- Look at the math! There is a code block where it says "scssCopy" -- the "Copy" is generally garbage from machine generated text+code snippets.

- The code has a missing function, `lcm`. Author has forgotten to include it, which can be a human or machine error.

This kind of episode makes me wonder if I should continue posting, suggest that people filter everything through an LLM, or just resign to the botspamcallypse.
I'd watch that, but the beauty of the book is not so much in the storyline, but in how it's written.

Where more conventional authors would use a paragraph, Gibson drops select few words that convey as much. It's like reading from a zip file. It's truly something else. It'd be very difficult if not impossible to capture this in a film adaptation.
A server that is simply turned on does not necessarily mean it is "in use."
Nope, affects several different monitors. It's also not flickering, the GPU driver will crash and stop sending output to the external monitor. At times it's even hung my entire system.

What was wrong with the Wool adaptation in your opinion?

I (re)read the books while watching the show and yes they did some modifications, but I could see why most of them were made (the lack of intra-silo email for example) and there were a few choices that will echo into the later seasons more than I could expect. (Like people ending up in different places than in the book)

But I trust that the writers read all of the books before writing the first season =)

I too find it very interesting.

But why this sudden, renewed fuzz?
Foundation is probably the weakest of the lot! For All Mankind is good but gets too much drama and not enough tech later on, but it's still watchable.
I think The Peripheral was renewed but went into total production limbo due to the strikes last year. It was then cancelled.

Ok yeah I looked it up it was renewed fast in early February 2023 but was cancelled in August
Looking at the symmetries of specific cases, you may find convenient solutions.
I'm already so disappointed with 3body just from seeing the trailer. Shame
Hacker News Badges (Unofficial)
Another weekend hackathon project. Very basic prototype ATM.

If there is demand, i will add features like top rank timestamp, custom theme and widgets like live score.

Thanks
I agree, I would say it's perfectly capable just the target for success is different. It's not a commercial venture aiming for 99% availability and a dropped request here and there isn't that impactful.
I made a scaled down death ray too when I was younger.

It’s called a magnifying glass.
Depends on your launch profile, of course.

You could try to stay air-breathing as long as possible while building some of your orbital velocity.

I'm not saying there's One True Mission Profile here. Depending on your needs and constraints, it might be a good plan in some cases.

"The corporation is the legal embodiment of our joint interests."

You've just admitted the reason why you shouldn't be allowed to lobby as such—as I said earlier, your joint effort represents an unfair power advantage over other individual citizens.

I liked the recipe from an earlier time edition of Joy of Cooking that used turtle eggs that are now from a protected species. I never tried it, mind you.
I highly recommend it.

There's some stuff in there that's going to be hard to adapt, because it works in a book but not on TV, but I'm really looking forward to it.
If KDE was not c++ (with its underlaying toolkit), I would give it a try.
I have to say I quite liked The Peripheral TV show, was kinda bummed that it got cancelled.

I liked the book as well.

"Social media are more publishing platforms "

That's what social media companies want them to be, but it's in our hands to decide if we use them for consumption only.

I agree that DMs are often abused and not the best medium for one-on-one communication, but without DMs how would you upgrade a conversation to a more suitable medium?
Isn’t most of the speed you spend on the first stage wasted on going up, though? And what little momentum you might get to keep when it’s time to turn into your orbit is also sucked away by air resistance. Rockets have to go directly up for the first part of the flight, and all that acceleration is wasted because what you really need is orbital velocity, which is going to end up being “sideways” relative to earth. An air breathing first stage would mean you have to give a little less of your fuel to going up, and you’re doing it in an environment with less air resistance.
More the opposite; switching to being copied by Windows 12. Seriously.

KDE: let's make our panel floating by default to distinguish ourselves visually from Windows!

Microsoft rumored to introduce floating panel in Windows 12.
GIFs can be highly optimised for tiny simple animations, but 99.9% of the GIFs that people actually want to send are not in that category. webm (for example) can handle transparency too, has cross-platform support, and better compression ratios than GIF for anything remotely video-like.
I don't think For All Mankind would have been nearly as strong without the relationship focus.

Mostly because Sonya Walger, Michael Dorman (watch Patriot!), and Sarah Jones nailed their parts.
"Yes, but" - unfortunate number of my non-techie friends do not have any kind of sync / backup enabled on their phone let alone computer :(.

(linked somewhat directly to number of my non-techie friends and family who do not have good lock on their phone)
I tried every technique like that I could find. The "share" feature isn't available for my system, the "file manager" hack didn't work for me, and my phone would not make emergency calls through the wifi. Not that I really want to interrupt a vital service like 911 for this.

But if any new techniques emerge, I will gladly try them all!
you know what could be sustainable? A bring-your-own bottle policy in stores. Deliver big dispensers to stores, and let people refill.

All the rest is a very marginal reduction unlikely to have an effect in the long run.

In a complex environment, where we can't make predictions, is better to be cautious.
Foundation is so awful it makes me sad. Fringe is one of my all-time favorites. Silo is pretty awesome. Jack Ryan was too Reacher (Krasinski was bad casting, and it felt like it was written by 16 yos).

I hardly know what to think…
A vassal? This is getting better and better... Sonall NATO memebers are subservient vassal states of the US, Japan is what? An occupied territory?

There was a parody video a while back, can't find it now, about RPGs from the NPC's perspective. PC steals all their stuff and also their grandmother, ends up receiving the sword of grandmothers.
I confirm that “months” seems the right time range for me (accessing from Brazil).

I open HN, idk, 10 or 20 times a day, I would guess I see the error message around 5 to 10 times a week.
A mobile dishy will be released sometime later this year. I imagine this version will prioritise power efficiency and size. This version should have lower power consumption at the cost of network performance.
As someone who actually has a child going through therapy, I can assure you there is a strong emphasis on resiliency.

There seems to be some kind of hysteria about kids therapy these days. Don't fall for it.
Eh, winged SSTO has some very practical potential advantages! (To wit: you can use existing airfields for your turnaround).

This is not me advocating for winged SSTO every day of the week. But I can definitely see the lure.
The addition of Empire (the person) IMO was the correct way to handle the central theme in a format that works on TV.

The book itself isn't character driven _at_all_, which makes it notoriously hard to adapt to any visual medium.
Wow, so this is the where Nardwuar's "Doot doola doot do..." comes from! I always wondered how it was so ubiquitous that even people unfamiliar with his interviews knew how to respond. Very interesting.
Probably exporting it to someone that uses it as fuel, but not labelled/indicated for such use.

thanks for taking the time to read through it regardless. I wrote this as a brain dump, and shared it mostly with the intent of learning more about the topic (which thanks to this thread, I already have), so I feel it is ok if it doesn't change the life of billions of people.

the last part of the post, however, is dedicated to assessing whether such an idea would have any real bearing on, as you've put it, "the population", or not. I've tried to list potential benefits to the average user, if such a decentralised platform was ever built. since you are interested more in such evaluations rather than technical contemplations, I'd like to hear your feedback specifically on that part.

Svisualize: A Svelte Visualizer VS Code Extension
Svisualize is a Visual Studio Code extension that gives developers the power to visualize their Svelte components as they code their project. It features dynamic rendering of a D3 tree representing the project’s component structure within VS Code Webview. Additional features include opening the file that corresponds to the name on the selected node within VS Code editor upon node click. Developers can hover over component nodes to see every prop belonging to a specific component , switch root nodes to visualize smaller sections of a project’s component structure, as well as update the D3 tree when changes are made to the codebase by clicking the update button.
He makes an excellent case for why all of this data should be protected by the 4th Amendment, without loopholes that allow government organizations to purchase them from 3rd parties. I assume he doesn't see it that way, though.

Can you link to a description of this intended workflow?
Only way a 3 (or more) party system works in the US is if we change the way we vote to a ranked-choice type of system with runoff elections. With first past the post, winner take all elections, multiple parties just makes it possible for politicians to win with smaller and smaller pluralities.
> Yes it is a big hurdle. However, I think content discovery is generally a big part of any content platform, way broader than discovering "who have reacted to my content". Now if you want to solve the problem of content discovery in a broader sense, then you have already fixed this particular shortcoming of pull-model as well.

Right but I don't think as a general case finding all RSS feeds on the internet that satisfy a certain criteria, like publishing a hashtag or responding to a particular post, is a problem that can actually be solved in a principled way, because a fundamental limitation of the pull methodology is that you have to know the list of places you are checking beforehand, you can't get content from somewhere you didn't know about prior. The only way to solve this would be to have some kind of crawling and indexing system that regularly crawls the entire internet looking for these expanded RSS feeds and then categorized them according to various criteria in order to poll them. And that is both a very high technical investment and has a lot of limitations itself. So in the end it seems like you haven't really actually distributed the work of a social media system more equally after all, you've just inverted who is doing the work, going from a Federated set of servers that do all the work pushing content everywhere to a Federated set of servers that do all the work pulling content from places.
The latest season of For All Mankind has completely lost it. Foundation is questionable, but looks great. The expanse was better.
What do you use for job hunting?
I don’t really have any horse in the race but the experiments I’ve seen are hardly universal nor sufficiently guaranteed. It’s basically just a one time payment spread over some period, so it’s not surprising people would use money they know won’t be around forever for essentials.

On the other hand it would be nice to know what happened with all of the Covid checks since that also was given to many, but again hardly universal.

I think the main criticism against UBI is inflation and I haven’t seen any reasonable argument to why it wouldn’t happen.
They need a director like Villeneuve on this.

Someone who can convey the feeling and emotion of the text with just music and visuals, not by having a character or narrator blab on about how/why this tech does that and how the history of the world and blahblah.
What story does that tell?

React's would say 2022 - https://github.com/facebook/react/releases

There's engineering effort happening behind the scenes on both projects, the releases have slowed, and big changes are coming to both Elm and React.
I think what’s missing from Everyday Astronauts discussion is: what if we could make the plane/rocket go much faster.

The cruise speed of a jet plane of 800-1000km/h may not be a high enough fraction of orbital velocity to be worth it.

But what if you could fly even higher and faster, say 3000km/h, before you do stage separation?

Now you’ve actually achieved a significant fraction of orbital velocity.

Obviously that would require new technology. And in particular the main challenge is making an engine that can operate efficiently at a wide range of speeds. So this engine could change the equation.

But I suspect it’d only make sense for smaller vehicles delivering personnel/cargo to arbitrary orbits on short notice.

I also wonder how they can get enough electrical power without a big weight penalty.

Keep in mind that Electron is already using electric motors for their pumps. So the question is kind of whether you could also use a motor to capture and compress air to exploit the oxygen in the air rather than having to carry it as payload.
It’s amazing how many times a Neuromancer adaptation has been optioned, in development, and then fizzled out.

There’s a comment I posted on a previous occasion, all the way back in 2011 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2565734), that I think still holds up 13 years later:

> It's almost certainly too much to hope for, but my impossible dream is that this gets done up like it's the 1980s with circa-2012 CGI. A bold kind of retrofuturism we haven't seen yet in film.

> Thing is, you can't take Neuromancer out of the '80s. The newness of computer networks, the ascendancy of Japan, the aesthetics of computer hardware -- boxy, whirring things with stark, green CRTs spewing masses of indecipherable alphanumeric incantations, big clunky cables, heavy briefcase-size mobile units; it's all there. And the mash-up of digital and analog technologies is no less integral than Gibson's opening lines to the book, comparing a halogen-hazed night sky to the analog noise of TV transmission.

> Neuromancer didn't arrive into a world comfortable with computer technology like ours today. The book stands as a fantastic trip back into a time when technology could be dark, dangerous, and foreign, a zeitgeist Gibson leverages to dazzling effect. "Updating" Neuromancer would bring its entire shadowy world out into the unthreatening, mid-day sun.

If any streaming service has proven hospitable to retro futurism, it’s Apple TV+. I'm cautiously very hopeful that the Sprawl has finally found the right home for a translation to screen.
I can only talk about Gnome wayland with NixOS, but they generally don’t do anything too wild with the configs, and since they have quite bleeding edge packages, it usually works quite well, once it packaged.
And just like that I never purchased HDMI based products again.
I had the inverse experience.

I setup 5 x $220/month servers and I wanted to make sure my payment method worked, contacted support a couple of times, wanted to make a prepayment or something.

No dice, they didn't want to take my money until the billing period closed, luckily everything worked fine.

It wasn't their cloud offering though, it was for the dedicated servers (Hetzner Robot), I don't know if that makes a difference.
That person just replaced the internals with an OLED display and controller
Haven't watched the others, Foundation put me off doing so.
Only if you are willing to publish contact info in your profile. I am much more willing to open my DMs than doing that.

I realize that open DMs are not an option for high profile accounts, but for most people probably safer than publishing their email or - god forbid - their phone number.

50% of Foundation is terrible. You missed out on Invasion which is also another sci-fi show they've got. Unfortuantely it's also terrible.

Let’s not stop there. Set the number of senators in proportion to the state’s population, in order to be a more representative democracy.
All true, but I think it's also broader than that. Europe is massively dependent on the US guaranteeing freedom of navigation globally. They're the only power capable of patrolling and defending every major sea lane simultaneously.

The Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are affecting everybody. It's good to see the UK and now India get involved, but without the US the Houthis would more or less have free reign. Germany, Japan, even China plus many others are just as affected by it but what are they doing? What could they do?
Thanks for your feedback. I've replaced it by a features section
Of those, Foundation is the only one I wouldn't recommend at all. It might be middling if it was named something else but as a show that purports to be Foundation it's a complete insult to the books.

But the other shows, especially For All Mankind are really great.
So you need a separate CSS engine for each browser? Count me out.
Does it? =)

I think the crowd on HN is old enough to have seen a static image on an analog TV.

But we have full generations that don't know what "static" looks like. To them a TV with no input is either fully black or even bright blue...
If you nest the input and label you can get rid of "for" and "id":

<label>light<input type=radio name=theme value=l></label>
> It doesn't feel like the EU is sovereign from the US, it's more like we're its vassal. They are above the rule of law and we're here to consume their shitty products.

I personally would not even call these tech giants American anymore, they are as powerful as countries.
Cruise's Robotaxis Will Begin Test Runs Again
For All Mankind first two season were great, it was competence porn and the alternative timeline was fresh and cool. Season 3 and 4 are just space drama. Good actors are keeping the characters alive and that doesn't help the overall story (which is totally irrelevant since the end of season 2 anyway).

That's my short take, I could be more nuanced but I don't have the time for a blog post :(.
KDE user here. I'm on Debian so I'm still on 5.27 and will be for a while. That's OK. I like Plasma 5.27 and my only disappointment is that I won't file bug reports if I run into any issues. I don't expect they would be addresses and I prefer that the devs focus on moving 6 along. By the time 6 is on Debian (trixi, hopefully) lots of kinks should be worked out.

And speaking of kinks, I'm disappointed in the number of posters on Mastodon who are angrily claiming that they will never use KDE again because of issues they run into on the first day of a major release. What did they expect?

And I will repeat: Many thanks to the devs, testers, documenters and all others who make this happen. Well done!
Data Longevity and Civilization's Demise
Apparently there is Chinese TV show version of the 3 Body Problem; a friend of mine who liked the book a lot watched it and said it's really good.

I hope this increases stability. KDE takes the startup approach of move fast and break things. For all of their progress in functionality, I have so many annoying bugs that I deal with on a daily basis.
