What extremist anti-democratic movement lead by Bolsonaro? The guy was president during pandemics with strong popular and military support. The facts are that he had the bread and the knife and yet no coup was attempted while he was in power.

Bolsonaro is a straw man used by the extreme left which currently is in power to justify an institutional authoritarian escalation. And this escalation was happening long before Bolsonaro.

Many games written for Windows run faster on linux now, but the biggest limitation is anti cheat for some of the larger titles. Fortnite, despite all its open platform push, probably holds linux back the most.
Does "tough on crime" answer your question?
Linux is still a hard sell if you don't have easy access to people who know it well. Even things like adding an app to the app bar can require editing a text config.

Don't get me wrong, I love Linux and my kid uses it, but it's STILL more painful than Windows for a lot of things.
Strange, my PlayStation 5 controller just works on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
You mean the Liberica JRE? Or is the JDK really needed to just run a .jar using JavaFX?
I just wish it was easier to browse. Maybe it's just me, but I find navigating to what I'm looking for on their site painful every time I try.
Didn’t downvote (can’t even downvote, wouldn’t anyway), but if I were to guess it’s that the article talks about it fairly extensively.
I think their public relations recently has been abysmal.
that site xda-developers has one of the worst GDPR interfaces I have ever seen?! You scroll through 1974! (2000..) list items to uncheck them all.. after 25%, I gave up and left
Apparently Fortnite has two different anti-cheats, and one of them works on Linux.
interesting project indeed, but lack of steering feedback might already be a deal breaker for most. in terms of emulating the car you'd practice virtually for real-world driving, there is probably a nice market for easy-to-convert platform for getting input from cars.
Don't have one of those (and really don't want one, AA ftw in a controller tbh), from what I read during my journey is that the xbox controller uses some weird DRM in their chipset but I have honestly no clue what that means in the context of bluetooth.
lol We have this function implemented at least a dozen times through our mono repo. All named slightly different.
Governments regularly order key industries striking back to work at gunpoint. It's one thing that both parties can agree on.

Most of us cannot be those "greatest minds that have thus far graced this planet." For many of us, it's more fulfilling to be good at one thing than mediocre at dozens.
Throughout a lifetime the tools themselves will most likely change. The curiosity and willingness to find, evaluate, learn, and apply tools throughout a lifetime is a skill in itself and would be extremely valuable.
I know you said Linux, and maybe have the same opinion of Apple, but if the OS does actually require TPM 2.0 (and much of MSFT's stuff tries to degrade decently, for all their faults, so this might not be immediately obvious), it's not much different than the hardware requirements Apple imposes (which to be fair, some people also see as arbitrary, and in some cases, I would agree).
For me the visual aspect is very important. I want to have a fully browseable frame per frame result. Anyway you can avoid using render sync which basically let the simulation free to run as fast as possible with a minimal overhead for the drawing thing each X step
wgpu and WebGPU aren't just for browsers. They can be used in native programs as well. They're primarily a way of unifying platform APIs to produce a portable graphics target.
Internet Explorer was my preferred browser as an end user for more than a decade, for its native UI and text rendering. It was mostly only a pain for web developers.

What about this approach? Put the payload on an inflatable lifeboat. Anchor the boat, and try to get the anchor to land directly on top of the pipeline. Keep trying until sonar confirms succes. Thread the rope through a loop on the lifeboat. Partially deflate the lifeboat so that it slowly descends. The rope serves as a guide. Use sonar to check whether the charge is acceptably close to the pipeline. Cut the rope and leave.

If it was close enough, activate the charge remotely. Otherwise, just leave it there without activating it.

I've been assuming that Windows 11 incompatibility was a gift from above, since my system has stopped bothering me about updating.
I currently use various Ubuntus, Mac OS, Windows 10 and Windows 11 more or less evenly. Windows 11 is by far the most hostile and frustrating of these.

I quite like Windows 10. It's unassuming and everything more or less works. I was somewhat shocked at how much worse Windows 11 is, despite not looking that different at first glance.

The implementations of zero trust that I have seen involve exposing your service to the public internet with an Authenticating Proxy on top. So instead of trusting the network implicitly you trust the caller’s auth token before they can connect to the server.

So you might have an internal service that has passed a minimal security bar that you can only establish an https connection with if you have a valid SSO token.

I would say the supreme skill is being able to overcome one's self. Take three nice long deep breaths and do what you know you should do at whatever expense or discomfort to one's own when those tough choices come to you.

That will make you unstoppable.

Not every opportunity is yours yet missed opportunities are the life that passed you by.

The effective resolution is limited by the atmosphere as far as I understand. Eddies etc.

Also this satellite was very cheap at 22 million, the US cutting edge ones are rumoured to cost over a billion (and they're much bigger than washing machine size). So I wouldn't expect it to be a lot better than what's commercially available.
For me, it's touch screen support. I try it out periodically to see if it's improved.

Battery life is the second issue.

A big one is keeping iteration times fast.. If you have to wait more than a few minutes to run through your test suite or deploy to a dev environment it really kills the momentum. It starts easy but as you add complexity, dependencies, slow or flakey tests, it is slowly gets eroded.
iOS ecosystem generally doesn't work like that. Most people upgrade to latest when latest.1 comes out so around December. Those on latest - 1 will remain until they become latest - 2 next September and by then, they will very likely upgrade to latest because they buy a new phone. See this blog article by Telmetry Deck about iOS 17 adoption: https://telemetrydeck.com/blog/ios-market-share-13-23/

Since Apple controls phone updates and phone support is long, unlike Android, most companies only do latest - 1 except around September when they will do latest - 2. However, most don't cut people off, you are just unsupported land and they will if older iOS versions give them any trouble.

If you go into Settings -> Appearance and turn on Compact Mode, Discord very closely resembles an IRC-style chatroom.
I do not recall anyone serious making definitive statements about the perpetrators.

This might be narrowly literally true, but - especially in the context that apparently the CIA was aware of the Ukrainian plot to carry out the attack before it occurred - former CIA director Clapper saying "Russia is certainly the most likely suspect" or Biden's statement “Let me say this, it was a deliberate act of sabotage and now the Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies”

And the anonymous "officials familiar with the latest intelligence" informed CNN
[If Russia did deliberately cause the explosions] that Moscow would likely view such a step as worth the price if it helped raise the costs of supporting Ukraine for Europe. US and western intelligence officials believe Putin is gambling that as electricity costs rise and winter approaches, European publics could turn against the Western strategy of isolating Russia economically. Sabotaging the pipelines could “show what Russia is capable of,” one US official previously told CNN.

And national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Friday that the US does not believe any NATO ally is behind the leaks.

etc ... I think it's fair to say this at least vaguely pointed finger at Russia communicated to the public an impression which US leadership knew to be false.

Yes the US ones are supposedly over 1 billion each.
I wish I had a programm like this, but for more of my commonly used applications. Google Chrome, Excel, the desktop environment, etc. I program keyboard layouts that seem pretty efficient for typing, but applications are a whole other story. I have a layout that's good for Vim and Tmux, so a game like this can help quantify the improvement for those. I want to do that for everything.
To be honest, I'm neither a web dev/designer nor do I have bad sight, so I admit I don't really know how accessibility works. I expect this to be compatible with screen readers somehow, they even say they take this seriously. But from a quick glance at the Accessibility tab in Firefox, I see many complaints about "interactive elements must be labeled".

Obviously, if the computer reads aloud the password as you type it, it's an absolute win for security, and I'm sure some PMs somewhere are quite content with a job well done.

> Domination of spoken culture instead of written for collaboration.

I have sometimes wondered if this was just me. Glad to see it listed. I can’t count the number of times that “oh yeah, we talked about that and decided xyz” or “do you remember where we landed on abc in that meeting?” in a distributed environment.

I can’t force others to communicate about everything in writing, but I’ve learned to take detailed notes of my own thought processes and to write down everything important that happened in a meeting or conversation immediately after it finishes.
This is a weird take. L10 IC is VP/Distinguished Engineer.

> They initially told him the design was good as is and required no feedback and change, but once the project was about to be deployed they suddenly became very opinionated and critical of each and every tiny detail, including on the need to rewrite the component.

Had that happen, too, as a PM. All stakeholders greenlight things, no more feedback to be had, let's build this out as a POC.

Then...

"Why did we spend X months building this?" (yes, POC and 'months' because other responsibilities).
Perhaps they could stop everyone using Windows 11 and make the world a better place.

Which lines up exactly to the current state of iOS so it's no wonder HN's opinion is what it is.

If you don't use iOS but have to develop for it it's completely understandable that you end up resenting it.

A lot of stuff I watch is 720p, and it's okay with that. But with some types of higher quality files it can be (very) slow.

That said, I have replaced most of my "exact seeks" with "sub-seek"; in input.conf:

Alt+Right sub-seek 1 # Go to next/previous sub (within demuxer-readahead-secs)
Alt+d sub-seek 1
Alt+Left sub-seek -1
Alt+a sub-seek -1

And then in mpv.conf:

demuxer-readahead-secs=120 # sub-seek only works within this cache
demuxer-hysteresis-secs=60 # Fill cache only if lower than this; saves battery

This allows me to fairly quickly skip past stuff that's not too interesting, while still actually following the gist of what's going on.

I think it's also bound by default, but I'm not sure what that is from the top of my head. You'll definitely need to set that cache as it's only 2 seconds or so by default.
Varying pixel sizes, pixels offset from their natural grid, and even rotated pixels were actually not uncommon in retro games. Take a look at just about any SNES game that did advanced Mode 7 effects, like Pilot Wings or Super Mario Kart, and you'll see examples of pixels being rendered at varying scales outside their native resolution.

It's not the same look as modern games, because the screen resolution was much lower than what we have today, but to me, high resolution rendering of transformed low resolution sprites is a perfectly valid successor aesthetic. It's not the same as what a game would have looked like in the 90s, but as others have pointed out in this thread, neither are crisp full-color pixels rendered as perfect squares. It's all an interpretation.

On the other hand, what I cannot abide are "low poly" models that use polygons other than triangles and convex quads. I will die on this hill.
In fact, those union-find trickeries come from the same paper that presented algorithm W, where they were named algorithm J. W was known from the start to be more useful for proofs than implementation:

> As it stands, W is hardly an efficient algorithm; substitutions are applied too often. It was formulated to aid the proof of soundness. We now present a simpler algorithm J which simulates W in a precise sense.

> it may have turned out to be not as important as originally thought.

all those things could have happened, but I doubt they were just 'discovered' at launch, and are so critical and diametrically opposed that there was no ability to communicate that at some point beforehand.
> At full production, the modules will produce electricity for one-tenth the cost of any technology available today for grid storage.

So depending on your local grid clean energy and curtailment metrics, this is likely a superior short term option until further lithium and sodium BESS cost declines, continued rapid phase out of fossil generation systems, and deployment of renewables towards overbuild scenarios to approach/reach net zero.
you don't know what "level" means.
Interesting ideas. So you're learning more towards the recommendations (and eventually agent) use-case. I find having to provide ChatGPT / Claude with context before prompting to be a real inefficiency and them having access to your online history would streamline this more.
> It must be normally issuing rulings written by people who aren't the justices themselves

Correct. Each "Justice" is more like a full fledged law office. It's designed like that.

> Seeing as it appears to answer to nobody, nor follow any normal judicial procedure (being both accuser and judge in one body), it would seem fair to describe that as a parallel government acting as a dictatorship. How else could you describe it?

I could describe it fairly. It's the top authority in a 3-branch government consisting of a council of many members with varied and often opposing views. Quite obviously different than a "parallel government" and dictatorship by definition

But I'd be wasting my time arguing with you for your sake. You're not seriously asking in good faith. I'm replying for the benefit of other people who may see your misguided politicaly motivated concern trolling
I have trouble understanding the point of this move from Microsoft's perspective. You actively stop people from re-using older hardware to run windows 11. Those users have 3 options. Continue running windows 10, install alternative OS or buy new hardware.

I cannot see how they would want option 1 or 2, then I have to deduct that they want people to buy new hardware to run the latest OS version. Do they want to force the increase in TPM 2.0 share in the PC market quicker? Do they want to increase hardware sales because they get more money from those than from older licenses?
I think the core point of being "mediocre at dozens" is that you could connect dots that the experts can't, so at the macro level you can have advantages while the averages turns to specialization.
Hope you're not implying that a positive attitude is all it takes. We're going to use up the runway. That's all.
One thing that is becoming more and more clear, is that memorization is absolutely a required part of becoming an expert.

But it's not fun, it's boring, and it takes up a lot of your time. You can't really train your memory with a nice Youtube video, and it's incompatible with the "learn while playing" concept.

So schools in the US tend to sideline it by handwaving that "they teach how to think" instead. And I think we're now seeing the result, with the ever-declining test results. The NAEP scores in the US peaked in 2014 and have been declining ever since: https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/ushistory/results/scores/

It's also interesting that there's no similar decline in China, where rote memorization is unavoidable because of the writing system.
Yes, I did cover this point in the post, but basically the main issue of not having this in stdlib is because now the choice is not obvious: if you search "ordered map for golang" you will find a dozen of different implementations.

>> Elizondo also wrote in the memoir of personal encounters with U.A.P., describing green-glowing orbs about the size of a basketball that invaded his home on and off for over seven years. The objects were able to pass through walls, and behaved as if they were under intelligent control, he wrote.

I can't take this stuff seriously, especially when the author is claiming there is a humanitarian threat by "world controlling technology". Creating fear about something that doesn't exist is a human phenomenon. Elizondo is creating this narrative leveraging this past work experience, but it's still not scientific proof. His scientific connection, Puthoff, is a self-proclaimed parapsychologist, to which adds even more to this charade, because there are absolutely no ghosts or telekenesis human powers in any existence, nor would UAPs and parapsychology even relate except by over-active human imagination.

This makes for fun tales and conjecture, but is nothing more.
The move they'll make (I've seen this firsthand) is they'll exclude the most senior people (architects, distinguished engineers) from union eligibility. Leadership will do this by including them in meetings where they are privy to sensitive and confidential information and then will classify them as a 'confidential employee'.

This tactic is useful in ensuring that you always have a few people who can _probably_ keep the lights on, even if they are sub-optimally practiced at those systems.
My personal experience is that while Windows is very hostile (and getting worse) to its users, it's rarely broken or buggy. The system lets me get work done and not fidget with the system itself.

Linux-on-the-desktop has made great strides. But I still get screen tearing when scrolling in my browser. I still tend to find that I need 0.5 to 1 generation old hardware for the drivers to work. I don't get good battery life on laptops unless I spend way too much time fiddling with things.

And of course, a lot of professional tools don't work on Linux at all. I'm an electrical engineer and while I'm not a designer for my day job any more, I do still use professional-level tools for personal projects. They run in Windows, and Windows only. So basically no matter how much strength of will I have, those tools ultimately keep me on Windows as my daily driver.

I love a lot of Linux command-line tools and always have WSL w/Debian on my Windows machines. No more dual-booting.
