Japanese DOS had ¥ as the path separator or more specific at 0x5C. It still causes headache with the MS Mincho font. Japanese users are used to seeing ¥ at the DOS prompt so some Windows Console fonts just replace the backslash.

Since you never know if it's a backslash or an actual Yen sign. Total fun.

The take away should probably be that while indoors for long periods, you should sit with a window nearby and within view, so you can focus on far away objects periodically. (I've heard 15 second every fifteen minutes or 20 every 20 as rules of thumb.) And maybe take walks outside more often.

Do you have less opportunity to sit next to a window you can look out of periodically, when working from home? I'd think not. Less time to take walks outdoors? Nope. For many people, offices are going to be more of a detriment than a help.
So what you're saying is TikTok actually took action against the most dangerous conspiracy movement the country has seen in our lifetimes while other American companies left it alone? And I'm supposed to be pissed at TikTok and support them being banned?
I think it's reasonable to assume that a pretty large portion of this is going into R&D. They've shown multiple prototypes that are addressing different technologies/techniques for improving the clarity and quality of VR experiences.

I could be mistaken, but I believe they were the ones to pioneer varifocal displays, a technology which has still yet to ship in an HMD. The earliest prototypes relied on physically moving the lens, where the latest prototypes are using some form of electrically charged lens that changes its focal distance based on voltage.

Once you start going down the rabbit hole of projects they've either announced or have been leaked it's easy to see how you could spend that kind of money, and that's only the stuff we know about.
To be fair, this is like saying Legos aren't appropriate for building a house or a pocket calculator isn't appropriate for analyzing a particles accelerator -- simple tools are great for their intended use case but you need much more advanced tools for complex scenarios.

It really isn't, it's not in anybody's national interest to allow other companies to force a sale. It would set a terrible precedent where any Chinese tech company could see their Western/International operations get captured and therefore cause major loss of expected returns.

How does Spotify "force" you to listen to stuff? I have a very different experience. Pandora (many years ago when I tried it) did not let you choose what you wanted to play (e.g. am album) and Spotify did (and still does). I have hundreds of my own playlists on Spotify, and my listening time is split between those, Spotify's "daily mix" playlists (generated from your personal music tastes) and occasionally "discover weekly" (one way I discover new music). I like choosing what music I listen to.

Terrible, awful type system. And I just mean at the level of primitive types it can represent, nothing fancy. It doesn’t even have a date type, let alone things like decimals.

That’d be my argument specifically against using it to communicate between pieces of software—at least if you’re hand-writing it there’s the excuse that it’s kinda, sorta easy to read and write (at least, people say that—IMO it’s only true for tiny, trivial examples, but that may be a matter of taste)

My take on it as a hand-written config/data language is that it’s simply absurd. JSON-schema is terribly unwieldy, but also the lingua franca, so if you want to keep your sanity you write something better to define your data structures (probably in some actual programming language) and generate JSON schema to share structure definitions among readers. Oh my—why?
You don’t realize you’re at the hockey stick inflection point until you look back from the future.

>Snark is a signal of cheap argument: They have nothing more serious to say

They may well have something more serious to say, and it doesn't imply a weak argument in itself. I think it's fair to say the author does have something more serious to say; the question, really, is do you. All you've done is reduced the OP to the same tired discourse, and proclaimed which side you're on, but you know, there really is more to the linked essay than that.
Also you should know that while the terraform language is okay (albeit a little too dogmatic in a functional programming sense for my tastes), the terraform cloud product (runners for terraform executions) is pretty terrible, slow, and overpriced, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory based on the terraform language.

This encouraged at least 4 companies to launch terraform-cloud-like products, and rather than compete and provide better service, Hashicorp responded by saying "take it or leave it, internet!" and they closed the open-source license on the interpreter (BUSL)... At my previous company we were driven away from terraform cloud and into the arms of env0 ... when it often takes 10 minutes for an execution to begin and you have no other executions in progress you realize that the terraform cloud SAAS product is just a total joke...

what if, and hear me out, glasses "cause" myopia?

To my memory, I played outside as a kid and had perfect vision. I didn't have access to a television growing up. I grew, my skull changed, my eye size changed, so my vision got blurry in 1st grade. I was (suddenly) very nearsighted. The teacher noticed, so they put glasses on me. The controversial claim: it is normal for eyesight to change during childhood and in adolescence and glasses may lock in a child's myopia.

Now I'm sure genes and environment, television and computer use, food quality, etc play a big role (my father also wears (weaker) glasses, and we were always low-income / made poor dietary decisions), but if it's the case that eyesight strength is malleable to some extent (with exercise, with playing outside in sunlight vs looking at television), and if it's the case that the epidemic outstrips genetic variance here over this timeline (surely?), I'd bet good money that slapping lenses on a kid during developmental years is as bad as giving a kid a tablet, moreso than one's genes.

I find it interesting that sometimes -my brain- can make out what faraway text reads as is but it is apparently -blurry- to my eyes. Like a blindsight phenomenon? Like the mechanics of sight, the muscle apparatus, etc is weak and underdeveloped (or developed to compensate for glasses), but the brain unhindered by developmental obstruction is doing the 'seeing'. Totally subjective, probably wrong.

Curious what folks might think in countries with traditional Hanzi / Kanji script might think. Are they really seeing what they read? How about their elders? How is it the case that after many years of reading such incredibly small script old folks retain their eyesight, but suddenly their children's children cannot (over a comparatively smaller span of time)? The answer is pretty obviously technology / environmental differences in each generation's developmental years. Why weren't those old folks also screwed? Well they didn't write / read at a young age -> no need for glasses for them early on.

This epidemic is occluded by the advent of the LCD screen, but not directly caused. What if glasses themselves and an increased effort to get kids glasses is playing a role in developing a myopia epidemic?

EDIT: haha, ok, one (unintended, misconstrued) reading of the actual article is "we put cute helmets and lenses on chickens at development and look how we messed up their eyeballs."

Are they actually trusted to give independently good advice, or are they trusted to launder and expand on advice that leadership wants to hear but can't say themselves so that it can be plausibly deniable when it goes South?

IMO the issue isn't that content should be censored and we shouldn't see ideas from other countries. It's perfectly fine to have an official CCP account post CCP positions anywhere. It's less fine when the CCP account claims to be Jeff from Iowa and it's even less fine when the platform is controlled by the CCP and certain topics or opinions hey amplified by the platform's algorithms. I'm not sure the latter happened, but we cannot even know and have to trust an actively hostile actor.
it's been well known (i'd heard it numerous times) that the maximum clock speed of x86 is somewhere <6GHZ. as in "you can make a 10ghz x86, but it would spend half the time idle". Bursting to 5.6ghz (or 5.8 iirc) is possible, but there are constraints that are physical in nature that prevent anything faster.

Once single core single threaded CPUs hit ~4GHz the new "frontier" was the core 2 duo, then the core 2 quad, and now we have desktop chips with 16c/32t (and beyond).

Wow, maybe "folk knowledge" is dumb. A real bad trip is not any kind of "challenging experience"; it's maybe 8 hours of completely senseless horror, a meaningless nightmare. And it doesn't really matter much whether it's 10 minutes or 10 days; if you have no sense of time, you're contemplating eternity.

This report is very laughable. It looks at the number of posts with the same hashtag between Instagram and TikTok as a simple ratio.

An alternate conclusion is that Instagram is censoring topics that don't align with the "Consensus" in Washington and artificially boosting content that does. Why is there literally no content on Instagram about the Gaza war, yet I get up-to-date news and reports on TikTok?
The high level Win32 API does this to be helpful because a trailing space is usually not what the user wants. You can argue it's stupid if you want, but the OS supports files that end with dots and spaces just fine if you call the right APIs.

I guess Go hooks into too high level of an API. But you can prefix all your paths with "\\?\" to "force it" to be evaluated as is.

Consider the following program:

package main
import "os"
func main() {
os.Mkdir(os.Args[1], 0777)
}

Invoking test.exe c:\test... will create c:\test
Invoking test.exe \\?\c:\test... will create c:\test...

Ask HN: Do you use ChatGPT to generate code? What were your experiences?
So I was experimenting with Swift without knowing any Swift code to see if I could generate an app.

To my surprise I see a repeating theme:

- ChatGPT generates ample amount of code that eventually runs after refinement through multiple prompts.

- Solution hits a hard edge case and we need to rework, refactor stuff, involving even more prompts to get it working (this is understandable as more tech debt is introduced)

- Solution hits an edge case and eventually ChatGPT4 starts hitting a loop saying it has a new solution or it fixed something but it really didn't.

- Manual inspection of code and simple logic removes that edge case from that solution.

To me this was an interesting to see: ChatGPT4 seems quite apt at handling requirements but it is unable to see very obvious mistakes or one liners.

I've spent about a week developing an iOS app with ChatGPT4 and these are my findings. I'm wondering if anybody else has experimented with generating code they have no experience or knowledge of and what your experience was like.
Tailwind is a set of design primitives and tooling that are designed to work together in a manner that is more flexible than something like Bootstrap. You could recreate bootstrap’s look -with- Tailwind. See the many off the shelf UI libraries created this way. Tailwind however isn’t designed to create off the shelf generic Ui libraries. It was created for building bespoke UIs that have their styles tightly coupled to their markup. You know, components…

Bootstrap & co is really more like a set of preset styles and UI logic which you can use to quickly get some UI working.

If these distinctions are too subtle to matter for you, then you aren’t facing the problems that Tailwind or similar tools are meant to solve.
How do you cut production? To build electronics today you have to buy all the parts up front for fear they will disappear or be replaced with new versions if you try to buy more later. Does this just mean they won't assemble half the planned production and try to sell the rest of the parts? Won't this mean the assembler makes no profit and loses money since they assumed they were going to do a full production run? Who would sign a contract that lets that happen? Are they going to actually build them and just warehouse them instead of shipping them to distributors?

Since I'm not seeing anybody mention it yet but it's one of my favorite ways to find new genres, I'd highly recommend everyone check out everynoise.com because they seem to have scraped Spotify's genres (you'll need Spotify to listen to more than 30 second samples, but probably still useful even if you don't use Spotify). The number of genres they have listed in the THOUSANDS, and I guarantee they will have something you've never heard of, but it's a great rabbit hole to go down when looking for new music. If you like a genre, they'll already have multiple playlists for it, and if you like a particular artist, they'll have those too. I am not affiliated with the website, but try to turn everyone I know onto it because there's just so much out there to discover that I wouldn't have otherwise.

China has made very clear they do not want ByteDance to sell. And that ByteDance should follow Chinese law.
