I’m maintaining a Matrix TUI and I haven’t updated it in forever because I keep saying I’m going to wait for the next stable Rust SDK… but I just keep waiting. Anyone know if that is planned, because without a stable release, packaging is a bit of a pain.
> If my Logitech G502 mouse couldn't charge while in use, I wouldn't even consider buying it.

Similarly, if a mouse doesn't support touch gestures I wouldn't consider buying it.

I guess we both make compromises: you never have gesture support, I maybe can't use the mouse for two minutes while I go make a coffee if I forget to charge it overnight once a month.

> Specially because previous generation of apple's mice could be charged while in use.

The first version of the Magic Mouse required you to change AA batteries, and its predecessor was a wired USB mouse. Not really sure how you think either of those is charging while you use it?
If it does that's recent, I used it for ages before creating an account. I did a while ago, for some features that needed it (a joint list with my wife, mainly) but it wasn't mandatory, and still free.
Right, it makes sense to have the long tail of your functionality on the touchscreen, unless you want your car to look like an airliner's cockpit. Which would actually be cool but it would be a pain to learn and, presumably, quite expensive.
I bought a random USB-C cable and power brick at IKEA 1 or 2 years ago and I’ve used it successfully with my Kindle, iPad, MacBook Pro, security camera, electric clipper, PS5 and Switch Pro Controller, as well as Switch itself, and probably a few other devices I’m forgetting.

So yeah, from my point of view, USB-C just works. I have an iPhone 12 so no USB-C yet but I can’t wait to upgrade (maybe next year) to finally have USB-C everywhere.

I don’t care that not all cables support every feature or whatever, I don’t feel like it’s a really common issue in practice.
A mini description of this since the page doesn't explain it very well: The CarThing is basically a mini Linux device that runs a web app that lets you control your phone's Spotify from the hardware itself. It was designed to be attached to old cars that don't have dedicated media centers.

Spotify discontinued it a while ago and subsequently open-sourced some of the bootloader and kernel code. Researchers then were able to tear it apart, and as a result you can now do whatever you want with it. DeskThing is a project that makes it easier for you to do so; it's basically an app store of custom web apps made by the community that you can upload back into the CarThing.

Yesterday on twitter someone posted reddit screenshots of a ukrainian dude in a thread. He said he was voting for trump and his account was semi-public, and some absolute sociopath started sending screenshots of it to every university and internship program he could think of.
I’ll second Prolog as mind blowing. It is a fundamentally different way to think about problem solving using a computer. Well worth even a trivial playing with it.
This vid talks about how the MD-80 has different types of switches for different functions. Not sure if intentional, but the ability to know if you have the wrong switch by feel seems like a great benefit.

If you’re happy with 32gb, then be happy! For me there’s a big difference between “rarely” wanting more performance and “never” wanting more performance.

I pre-ordered a 16” M4 Max MacBook Pro with 128gb of RAM. I’m going to give 16gb of heap to my compiler, my IDE, my back-end application, and my web browser / front-end application. I’ll have plenty of RAM left over to keep all the code on my machine in RAM cache.

I remember some salesperson asking if we shouldn't start using XML (or some other thing he had heard, think it was XML). Not sure where he heard it but it made absolutely no sence whatsoever. We were already using XML in the backend talking to others backend services but I was trying my best to get away from it... But there was no reason he would even know what XML is. He hardly knew how to use a computer to browse the web at the time.

Whatever is popular at the moment has to be used or you aren't hip and not following the times.
> if most devs (especially web devs and/or javascript people) knew about Gnome's excellent javascript support [...]

Blame the Gnome community. They revolted when key players announced a strategy/campaign to put resources behind getting the word out and doubling down on the developer experience to promote JS as the recommended alternative to app development in C for Gnome. They acquiesced, backpedaled a bit, and then within a year we got Electron and all the poor development practices associated with NPM gained the main foothold in the JS space, which was already destined to spill out of the browser, anyway.

We could have inculcated a generation of developers who looked to Firefox and Gnome for how to do app development in JS. Instead we got stuff like `npm install is-odd` and Babel and Webpack.

The fact that software is bad is not evidence that it was built by a small team or had a low budget. A depressing amount of high-budget, large-team software is awful.
I don’t think bitch is an appropriate parallel because I hear women use it in both insulting and friendly senses. And while I think a word being taboo for some but not others is silly, it doesn’t constitute oppression. For instance, I don’t think you should cancel some kid for singing along to his favorite rap song.

Regardless, I think using either word is in poor taste.

At the same time, how these electors are chosen cannot trample on the civil right that citizens have to vote. States can’t just do whatever they want, if what they want to do is disenfranchise voters. At least that’s my hope.

A better use of money, imo, is to just throw out any and all charge-only usb-c cables. Life's too short to be dealing with that crap.

Project Sid: Many-agent simulations toward AI civilization
While insurance is absolutely a necessary component that needs fixing, I think we could do a far greater, aggregate good by addressing fundamental lifestyle issues.

Having doctors in the family, and having been on my own personal health journey, modern medicine, while incredible in some aspects, is profoundly rudimentary in other regards.

So many people in chronic illness communities finally get access to insurance with big hopes, and it turns out the doctors don’t really know what to do with health failures without any obvious blood markers or scans. So folks get shuttled from doc to doc to speciality to specialty with very little hope of improvement.

While I could propose a hypothesis, what we could use is funding and research that specifically looks at studying and deploying larger scale and better blood markers of health. Specifically intracellular measurement based markers.

Some useful areas that are likely profound, but not limited to, ought to be with plasma and intracellular anti-inflammatory markers, the molecular/nutritional components that drive said markers along with the ability to influence various food industries to then address these things in the food supply via various fortifications, similar to how milk has vitamin D added, and salt has iodine added to it. Now a days, we are adding omega 3s to milk as well, which is pretty crucial imo.

The challenges I see are multi-fold. We need better campaigns that make various nutritional knowledge more well known, so folks can be more informed. The food industry will need incentives to take on the cost of fortifying their foods with various vitamins and minerals. Then there is an aspect of having nationwide marketing to get folks out exercising more. Weights, sports, walking, anything such that folks are getting out more.

This would fundamentally start to lower the demand generated on the healthcare system for invisible issues that seem to have no solution.

Pharma and food will hate it. Medicine will likely embrace it. And the populace would absolutely take it for granted, but we would see many aspects of our nation get better. I’d be willing to bet that a concerted effort would improve the populations mental health, productivity, happiness, educational scores, reduce disability, reduce welfare needs, etc and every other measurable metric could become better.

It’s a bold claim, and I’m happy to get into the details as to why, but currently, only the richest folks that care can optimize their lives in these ways, but if we can accelerate the deployment of these things, there’s incredible gains to be had.
My thoughts as a regular guy who buys things every once in a while: I think people looking for legit web hosting businesses don't want to deal with crypto - for regular every day payments it's still a novelty. A pretty expensive one. They just want to enter they credit card number, and upload their kitty pics.

(Since you posted this question, I assume that your previous customers weren't exactly demanding the availability of crypto payments either)

There are two separate, distinct, things here.

Are you 'justified' to decide to use your granted rights to step up and do something about what's bothering you? Yes. If you have enough energy, you can fork and gather people behind your version, to the point the original folds. Of course, you'll have to have a meaningfully different strategy about withdrawl of development services, otherwise no point. It's absolutely open to you to walk that walk.

Are you 'justified' in complaining you are no longer getting free services from a project you leeched? No. It's not even useful to you to do so.

It is certainly an open question as to whether or not it would need the approval of Congress. Does the compact clause have more weight or does the plenary powers doctrine have more weight? Realistically, it depends who the nine justices of the supreme court are if it ever makes it that far.

Tesla, for all the flack it gets for removing buttons, "almost" has enough buttons.

It's fine to bury options / settings that you don't touch often, or ever, under a menu.

When driving, the steering wheel controls to change the audio / autopilot speed are "good enough."

What's missing?

I should be able to adjust the wiper speed with a dial on the stalk. (The automatic wipers are lousy, and if there was a dial on the stalk, I really wouldn't care.)

I should be able to adjust the heated seat with a dial, and maybe adjust the climate control temperature with a dial.

That's it. Just a few more buttons.
They are very much aware of that missing feature, but there are currently other things that have higher priority.
It’s not. I think the people in this thread already have their minds made up.

> suspiciously odd similarities.

It is certainly not suspicious. It's all just people being people. It's questionable if it is even similar and not the exact same thing. Government isn't something magical. It's just a particular kind of business.
Try buying an USB-C cable in a random brick and mortar store, or on Amazon. Between "fully thunderbolt 4 certified" cables that do everything, reliable, and "you get two wires for basic 5W charging" cables that reliably disappoint, there's a wild world of maybe sorta compatible cables (don't ask what they're compatible with), and that's before you get into counterfeiting problems (thanks, Amazon).

Edit: Yes, like with all problems in life, "just be better informed than 99% of the population" is a possible, if smug, solution. Just not a good solution for the other 99%.

> even if you use it in a factual, rather than personal, context.

We all know that the 'factual context' is often used as cover by trolls. Whatever the excuse, people are not idiots.

Also, I'm not sure 'factual context' is a good idea - why say things that are upsetting to people? If my friend's mother just died, I don't talk about death 'in a factual, rather than personal, context'. In general, I don't describe, e.g., torture 'in a factual context'; it's not nice.

The compact has the mechanism and effect you describe, but you seem to have added your own editorialization as to the motivation: "participating states agree that the only fair election is one where the candidate with the most votes should win."

That's not part of the bill in the one state that I reviewed (MA), nor in the text describing the compact generally.

[Voters in] States participating may in fact believe that multiple types of fair elections exist, but that they merely prefer this particular one.
The animosity isn't toward all these feel-good intentions you mention. The animosity is toward the minor detail where it's a *lie*. People on this forum generally don't like lies.

"The theory is that..."

Yeah, we know. But the theory is false. Facts don't care about your feelings, and the replicability crisis doesn't care whether you "think the idea makes sense".

The rise of the touchscreens are an accident. Because MBAs believe iPhone == touch == good. It isn’t.

Amen! There so many flaws to touchscreens.

With the most common touchscreen implementations:

• user must hover hand above screen to avoid errant 'clicks' which is physically tiresome during prolonged use

• user cannot locate button without looking at screen, and feedback, if any, is several ms delayed (ie: till audio 'click' sound plays)

• user cannot easily control GUI on large, or multiple displays, since input-to-output scale is 1-to-1

• user cannot view the content under the target without workarounds (eg: iOS's loop widget) since user's finger blocks part of screen, and a human finger is relatively large compared to screen
