I think in this specific case it's JavaScript's requirement for backwards compatibility that bloats it... but there's a lot you can ignore. Like, you can declare a variable with var, let or const but there's absolutely no reason to use var any more. I feel similarly about the proposals to introduce records and tuples: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple... in most scenarios you'll probably be better off using records rather than objects, and maybe that's what folks will end up doing.

But boy does it all get confusing.

> Now, Typescript is on version 5.6 and there is so much stuff you can do with it that it's overwhelming. And nobody uses most of it!

I'm not so sure about that. I think we end up consuming a lot of these features in the TS types that get published alongside libraries. We just don't know it, we just get surprisingly intuitive type interfaces.

My local indie cinema has locally produced indie ads for local businesses. It’s cute and part of the charm! They also play trailers, but just 1 or 2, not a whole bunch like big chain cinemas.
Maybe this is just a subtle semantic thing, but what I took from this is that he is factoring out pure functions where ever possible, within a procedural context. In my mind, that’s not the same thing as “functional programming”.
Doesn't matter, I'm talking about the type definitions - @types/react, @types/react-dom and @types/express.

They don't have to! (re: txid 5d80a29be1609db91658b401f85921a86ab4755969729b65257651bb9fd2c10d)
well that kind of breaks the entire utility of the platform, doesn't it? the thing that was nice about twitter way back when was the fact that it felt very community-focused and the people who were most actively involved generally had feeds that largely represented their interests. it wasn't hard to stay away from the garbage, and what you saw felt more intuitively targeted towards your interests. i used it to keep up with friends and leaders in fields i found interesting and found it a lot more intuitive and engaging than other platforms at the time.

no doubt we're a decade or more past peak twitter, but it seems like the algorithm has entirely flipped and is designed explicitly to surface as much lowest-common-denominator content as possible, drowning out anything targeted that you're actually interested in. i'll never say it was particularly wonderful, but it was better than it is now.
> - assholes looking at their smartphone during the movie

Solved by arranging seats so that the backs of the seat in front of you blocks off from seeing anything below the next rows' head level, and so your head is looking at the screen in resting position anyway.

Solved by turning up the volume.

Showing my age here. A family member of mine used to run a local theater. The booth had multiple projectors, because films came on multiple reels (and once you knew what to look for, you could not unsee the reel switch indicators). So we've had the technology for a long time to pause a feature before the credits and roll another featureette and then switch back.
Thanks! Would you be able to send me a screenshot of what you're seeing? It may be formatting differently on your screen than mine. bmb@empirical.health.
Back when Microsoft started pushing telemetry in Windows 10, they added additional telemetry to Windows 7 through updates. Not nearly as pervasive and omnipresent as with Windows 11, though; you can just remove the telemetry updates: https://gist.github.com/xvitaly/eafa75ed2cb79b3bd4e9

This is an entirely made up figure based on guesses and politics. Nobody, including Fidelity, have any clue to the internals of Twitter now that it's private.

Very loosely related: This is exactly how I feel about unskippable tutorials in videogames. I feel like it robs me of the fun when a game explains to me what to do and how.
I think the problem I have is more so that people want my font sizes to be 3x what I have them. Usually I’m presenting a spreadsheet (financial statements and such) and people ask me to zoom in. Which I can but it breaks the whole thing and throws me off because I can no longer read my document anymore and I’m trying to present it. For that reason, I evangelize that attendees use the Zoom feature on their device if it’s too small.

As I understand the issue it’s not that font is too small on my device, it’s that Teams has a tiny viewport and so it gets shrunk down. Most people aren’t doing full screen. They have a sidebar for chat and such and a top bar of other options. These don’t leave much real estate for my presentation.

Would something like this help my problem or anyone know a better solution?
You’re welcome! One more issue that I missed calling out: a bottle may not yet be available for your platform (Sequoia) as it is very new. In that case, patience.
Yes, it was me that backported some of that telemetry to both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, circa 2015 when I was working on the WU team but we used WER to upload that to our endpoints. I don't think there was any telemetry at all before 2015 in the base operating system.
I appreciate that you're repeating talking points about Muller, but that's ignoring that Muller had a whole team. Does Muller being feeble mean that the content in his report is wrong?

They didn't prosecute Trump because the report was presented to Barr. He had no interest in prosecuting, and there was a ton of constitutional questions regarding charging a sitting president.

Do you believe that all people charged and found guilty as an outcome of the investigation were innocent and it was all political theatre? There were a lot of people who weren't Trump, where there were no constitutional problems, who were found guilty.
A sequence of connected events happening is practically the only major element of telling a story that they consistently have in good measure, so… yes?

Theme, characters that aren’t “cool quippy person” or “somewhat alien quippy person”, a message they not just set up but then commit to, use of action for anything other than spectacle, et c. Lots of story-things (to say nothing of film craft—score, scene-setting and shot choices) of other sorts they are weak on. Plot, they have.

[edit] and yeah, I’ve seen all of them except a few of the recent ones at least twice regardless. It’s fine to like things that are not, you know, great.

> revert Explorer back to the non-ribbon version

Don't you mean to the ribbon-UI version? Explorer switched from having a traditional menubar with a text-only context-sensitive toolbar (as in Vista and 7) to using the ribbon in Windows 8 and Windows 10; Windows 11 had the new dumbed-down explorer UI design since day-one (though in earlier builds of Win11 the ribbon UI could still be restored in Windows 11 using tweaks - or simply via bugs in explorer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/s3nilb/you_can_g... ) - it looks like MS fully removed the old code at the same time they added Recall support?
I browse /new exclusively, and refuse to upvote most of the stuff on there because it's preachy or uninteresting.

I recently (well, 2 years ago now? Recent relative to os/2 I guess) installed warp on an omnibook 800ct. You can get the warp disks off of the os2 museum...

Actually, I installed it onto a virtualbox guest of an old mac that was using an old compact flash card on a usb -> ide adapter, and then I moved that to the computer...

Anyhow, it all "worked" ; I even got some old games working on it. Blast from the past...
In my opinion, the best approach to videogame wikis is what valve did with the TF2 wiki. They saw that it was a great community resource, and so they took it under their wing, gave it hosting and a subdomain, and then left it alone. The wiki maintains full editorial control, which lets it remain a useful resource
While that's not wrong, the wiki loop of frequent or constant, unpredictably cascading content updates, with or without auth and sometimes with a parallel structured data component + cache and job queue maintenance + image storage + database updates and maintenance becomes a significant burden relatively fast compared to a typical CMS.

It's easy to blame the people, when it comes to the folks who can't stop pulling out their cell phones many of them have been conditioned to act that way from a very young age. If we keep letting companies turn people into anxious iphone addicts it'll only get worse. They can't stay off their phones while driving, asking them to go for an hour and half without looking at their phone violates everything their phone has taught them about how to behave

OK, I have a series of steps you can follow:

- Start DeskPad

- Go to System Settings and set the resolution of the virtual display to 1920x1080 (just to be a standard size/resolution and not retina, saves on resources and hassle)

- Still in System Settings, set Accessibility Zoom to render a magnified version on the virtual display:

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/zoom-in-on-whats-on....

- Resize the DeskPad window to be a nice little preview on the corner of your screen.

- Start your call, share the virtual display (which will be the zoomed version of what you are pointing at with your mouse)
Meanwhile there are companies doing just that, better let their management know how fool they are selling bare metal real time Java runtimes, Oberon, Go and C# based microkernels.

Valve Index. I currently dual-boot Windows for VR. This is the rabbit hole I went down (to be clear: SteamVR, specifically the compositor, is completely broken).

1. Install Monado with libsurvive.

2. Discover that libsurvive doesn't have the "smarts" that SteamVR has, and that calibration can be wonky (and was wonky for me).

3. Learn that you can import SteamVR calibration data. I can't do this in Linux because, well, SteamVR doesn't work.

4. Dual boot Windows with the intention to copy over calibration data.

5. Windows is installed. Give up and dual boot.

If anyone else has had success, I would love to hear about it.

I ended up buying a bigger monitor for screen share. For most purposes I prefer my setup with multiple 19" monitors running at 1280x1024 but it's a nightmare if someone with a higher desktop wants to share. I have found the bigger monitor nice for games also.

We need to stop excusing bad behavior (by people with agency and control over their bodies) with "well, corporations made them do it!"

That's interesting. I wonder if that was more due to the fact that everyone on the internet back then seemed to have an obsession with Rand, and he might have moved on since. But maybe he's still like that, I just didn't pick that up from the more recent stuff I read from him. Thanks for the info though!
Whenever I've seen theaters do this type of thing, they do it before the published show time. Related content first, then at the published show time trailers start, then a bit later the actual movie starts.

If you don't want spoilers, then you just don't go in until the published show time.

Rust's value proposition has nothing to do with security vulnerabilities, except that security vulnerabilities are a type of bug.

The point of Rust is to be a language that competes in the same niche as C++ but makes it much more difficult to write large classes of bug, much broader than just "security vulns".

I feel conflicted. Working with multithreaded stuff in JS is a huge PITA. This would go some way to making things easier. But it also feels like it would radically complicate JS. Unsafe blocks? Wow-eee.

With the rise of WASM part of me feels like we shouldn't even try to make JS better at multithreading and just use other languages better suited to the purpose. But then I'm a pessimist.
Maybe we've had different experiences, but I can't recall one instance pre-Musk where I was linked a tweet and found the replies to be worthwhile. This is the site that invented the term "reply guy". My twitter-inclined friends would link me things and remind me to never look at the replies.

They're certainly worse now, but I don't see any cause to lament a transition from vapid vitriol to more vapid vitriol. Nothing of value was lost.

This is great; though I have less need for it day to day now.

I used to have 49" 5120x1440 display. We started with Zoom, which under Advanced would allow partial desktop sharing. I would draw a 1920x1080 box and move windows in and out of the box.

We moved to Teams and Teams only supports Window or Screen sharing. DeskPad would work great for that situation. Create a virtual display, share it and then use it on right part of the physical screen, moving windows in and out as needed.

Currently, I use 2 Studio Displays instead of the 1 Wide Screen. When I need to share screens, I press a button on Stream Deck that calls displaypacer to set the resolution on the second display to 1600x900. When done, I press the button again and it toggles the resolution back to 5K. The resolution switching is instantaneous with Apple Silicon/Studio Display making it hassle free.
I noticed the URL was updated for this post. Previously it linked to asahilinux.org which showed an anti-HN manifesto from the HN referral. Curious as I haven’t seen this before. Seems it has been covered by previous commenters: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36227103
I still find it amusing that most fossil fuel trains only burn it to power a generator, with the wheels run by electric motors. It makes perfect sense with the massive startup torque a train requires, something electric motors are much better at.
Java may be memory safe but it is not data race safe (unlike Rust, the compiler does not enforce cross-thread synchronization). So there is still a safety-related reason to use Rust over Java.

That said, I don't really think Rust is a good choice for CRUD apps, because development velocity is more important than performance and they probably don't need to be multithreaded anyway.

But Rust would have been great for a lot of "systems" stuff that was historically written in Java, like Flink or Hadoop for example.

SteamVR is playable, but not at Windows level and rough around the edges. I personally run an Index on a 4080 Super (previously 3080) via the SteamVR runtime. System details in case it matters: Arch Linux Zen kernel, X11 (i3), Nvidia drivers, SteamVR Beta, usually a recent Proton GE version. I remember playing Beat Saber, including modded [1], Until You Fall, Pistol Whip, Raw Data and After the Fall without issues. Non-steam applications outside Steam can also work, I have a launch script that sets up the env vars for Proton, should be easier via Lutris.

I see some problems however. VR itself is not as smooth as it should be, 100% playable, but not as smooth as I remember it ages ago on Windows or using a FOSS VR [4] stack (which has other issues). I don't really use SteamVR home, it sometimes takes a while to load. SteamVR window on the monitor has weird flickering issues, usually I can't get into its settings, likely i3 related. Firmware updates are mostly broken. No (I think) standby for the Lighthouses, I toggle them via Home Assistant and smart plugs.

If you're suggesting that accidently additive products and services be banned from use for the public good then I'm in 100% agreement. What I'm not sure of is how that could possibly be reliably achieved. I guess 'sin' taxes would a blend of freedom and prohibition but then you get a government that depends on the sin for it's revenue which sets up a rather perverse incentive. Like an alcohol tax in Russia, or indulgences for the Catholic church.
