Chegg was already down 75% from its ZIRP-induced peak before ChatGPT existed. There's hardly even correlation here, never mind causation.
The US populace has no direct experience of this. I suspect a few actual deployments will change these attitudes, but I have no idea in what way.
It's hilarious that you think the NSW Opal system is better than Myki, because compared to overseas rollouts it's still a trash fire.

There's still no travel card integration with phones, the only mobile device tap that's supported are standard credit cards -- but you can't give one of those to a child because you can't restrict a credit card to only allowing travel! It also doesn't track usage properly, so you can't tell what state you're in (tapped on or off).

They actually did develop a digital wallet card and matching phone app, rolled it out... to some country town... and then quietly dropped it.

My completely unfounded accusation is that someone in Transport NSW was getting kickbacks from Mastercard and/or Visa and a travel card app would have stopped the pork.

The Opal card project cost hundreds of millions of dollars and took way too long to deploy, so calling it a "success" is only in relation to even worse projects.
I have a walking pad under my desk and do at least a few miles every day. It’s great.
I have access to at least 206.
Giving up pension? Does that make good financial sense? I hear this a lot from people under 40, then they have an "oh shit" moment after 60 and regret it.
Intellectualism and intelligence are not the same thing.
I don't stand at my standing desk. I fidget more, I move more, I stretch more. When I'm in the office and seeing people at their standing desk, I don't see a single person who is just statically standing still all day.
Facts about a book have never been copyrightable, for instance the odds of one word following another.

Facts in a book like a cook book recipe are also not generally copyrightable either. By convention we try not to rip them off but it does not come from copyright.
Has anyone here actually written technical books in LaTex and Markdown that can knowledgeably compare them? How do they compare? I’m biased from university towards LaTex but the MD syntax does seem way simpler.
Can people really type quickly and accurately on a treadmill at their desk? I tried that last year, and saw the error rate in my documents explode.
I discovered https://dnsdumpster.com/ the other day and found it to be incredibly useful.
I don't think that contradicts my prior claim. Yeah, people really moved at great expense and risk in the Oregon Trail days, and sometimes died of cholera (at least that always happened to me when I played the game on the Apple ][).

But I was really focusing on more recent times than that: it was still true within many peoples' lifetimes, though it wasn't nearly as risky as the covered wagon days.
My idea to solve all this would be to change how computing is done.

We don't talk about radical disruptive ideas enough these days.

What if we don't have to interact with computers from a stationary position at all? VR headsets are one direction that might help with this, but in my view there is another way. Decouple peripherals and computing units fully. You'd carry around with you a battery unit that will charge display and input units, and it wouldn't be carrying but maybe put on a strap on your arm, shoulder, back,etc.. (very lightweight). I wish I could draw this out and show you, but you would be able to sit, move around, even run. You can hold a display unit, but you can also have cheap display units on walls all over the office, house,etc.. and you'd attach sensors to the back of your arm that would sense finger movements for typing and controlling the mouse and view port.

Essentially, "monitors" would not be tied to one device, but whatever device is nearest to them, wirelessly. and 10-12" mobile monitors (like tablets but just the display,battery and wireless receiver board) that work in the same way would also be a thing. the actual computers would be in a static location.

Imagine just sitting at a desk, or walking up to a wall, running on a treadmill, or taking a walk outside and you can still do the same exact task, just as if you were sitting down in front of a laptop.

If it were that simple, someone would have done it, I get that. But we need to talk about ideas like this (I'm sure there are better ones).
There's so much disinformation and just outright lies here I don't know where to start.

Kamala isn't a Marxist. Trump DID NOT try to diffuse the insurrection, he literally stoked the flames. And then you "quote" the most alt-right leaning alternative facts "news" you can. Really? Daily Mail and "arrestedbykamala.com"? Come on now, if you're going to lie you have to at least try a little.

> You haven't said anything meaningful about any policy besides "Trump rude, orange man bad" like all the rest of them.

Okay.

Trump's fiscal policy will obliterate the US GDP and send us into a recession. The US manufacturing industry simply cannot handle such severe tariffs. Sticker prices for Americans will go up dramatically.

But that's the beginning. A trade war will begin, and further plunge the US into economic depression. Consumers in other countries will slow down their consumption of US goods, further driving our GDP down. In addition, Trump's tax plans will increase the tax burden for the middle class. So while you have tariffs, which are essentially a severe tax, we will also have higher taxes.

Trump will reinstate Schedule F, crippling the bureaucracy and further enriching powerful corporations in their position. Most government agencies will be completely useless. The FTC and FDA will be deregulated, and we will get more unfair consumer practices and further health crises such as the listeria outbreak.

But those are the agencies which are lucky. Some, like the department of education, will be disbanded. Millions of Americans who rely on tools such as FAFSA for upward social and economic mobility will be harmed, further hurting the GDP and keeping many Americans in poverty.

In addition, Trump will appoint at least one new supreme court crony. The court, particularly Justice Thomas, has stated he wishes to revisit all 14th amendment cases. It's likely Obergefell will be overturned and gay marriage will no longer be federally recognized.

Further, Trump will deregulate the healthcare industry, undoing many Obama-era protections. This means insurance can, and will, drop coverage for pre-existing conditions (currently illegal due to the ACA). Many Americans will further fall into inadequate healthcare, bearing in mind the US already has the lowest quality healthcare out of all developed countries.

To add insult to injury, Trump's deregulation will also affect those seeking gender-affirming care and PrEP. It's plausible we will have another HIV epidemic, and suicides among transgender individuals will go up.

Economically, socially, and politically, all of Trump's policies are a disaster. Trump voters largely don't know this, because even they don't listen to Trump. I have no doubt you'll reply "no, no none of that will happen!" If you were listening, this has all been explicitly stated as goals under the Trump administration. You would do well to vote for someone you believe.
LA county and the adjoining counties are roughly the same size as the Kanto Plain around Tokyo. The main difference is that Tokyo rebuilt their street car lines as heavy rail instead of turning them into automobile arterials.
Seems par for the course that even AWS employees don't even understand their pricing. I noticed the pricing similarity and tried to deploy to .metal instances. And that's when I got hit with additional charges.

If you turn on a .metal instance, your account will be billed (at least) $2/hr for the privilege for every region in which you do so. A fact I didn't know until I had racked up more charges than expected. So many junk fees hiding behind every checkbox on the platform.
Neither one is a subset of the other. I think you are very confused about your microbiology. I'm not going to continue this conversation.
I too normally like this channel but a few minutes in and it started to sound whiny. Encouraging “coning” was pretty low. It is starting to become pretty obvious that the many benefits of progress in this area overwhelm minor grievances.
I don't live in either city, I have family who live in both Melbourne and Sydney so I travel to each city relatively frequently at least a couple of times a year. My experience was Melbourne had their system years before Sydney had Opal cards.

I can distinctly remember first time using tap on/off card to get around Melbourne and thinking how much more convenient it was then needing to use Paper ticket machines Sydney had at the time.

Wikipedia lists 2008 adoption for Melb vs 2012 for Syd that seems to align with my memory. So might have just been curse of them being an early adopter.

Islam contains a lot of contradictions and ambiguities within its scriptures (as does Christianity and Judaism). E.g. gender roles and justice can elicit competing interpretations among scholars of Islam. Not to mention the wide diversity within Islam - Sunni, Shia, Sufi, and other branches with differing doctrines.

Having been raised Catholic, then rejecting Christianity upon being confirmed in the Church and surveying the world's religions, I've found the Buddhist tradition to give the most satisfying and complete answers about these questions, with a minimum of contradiction. In truth Buddhism is less a religion and more a philosophy, which resonates with my 21st century sceptical self.

All that to say, I wouldn't put too much stock in 'the newest' religion, but rather consider that some group of people answered these questions when they were first considered, long ago. To my mind the Buddhists accomplished that feat.
C works pretty well. Linux is somewhere upwards of 20M LOC, and it's famously a monolith!
I'll rephrase the line sometime, but the intention is to communicate that it's the default choice to go with if you're making this decision in 2024. Most of the projects which aren't using some form of direct IO are doing it because they predate O_DIRECT (e.g. postgres), didn't architect for using async IO (e.g. mongo), or have excessive portability concerns which means they only offer it as an option (e.g. innodb).
I had the same revelation with my standing desk. It’s the first desk I’ve ever had that is the proper height for me.
Probably automated. If someone creates a new account then immediately posts big comments, lots of comments, or links, the comments end up dead by default and need vouching. The dead spam comments often found at the bottom of threads are why.
Lol did you just invent a terminal from the 1970s, but a cell phone?
The Tubular fork of NewPipe is worth noting, https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular n a Revanced patched YT app would also work.
Quite the opposite. The US has the strongest startup culture in the world; new companies with new founders are definitionally the places where new concepts are first implemented and tried.
Eran Hammer (the author of OAuth 1.0 and original editor of the OAuth 2.0 spec) resigned during the early draft specification process and wrote a more detailed criticism[1].

I don't think I agree with every point he makes, but I think he had the right gist. OAuth 2.0 became too enterprise-oriented and prioritized enterprise-friendliness over security. Too many implementation options were made available (like the implicit grant and the password grant).

The United States is a big fuckin place. If you don't want to have your world view challenged by other cultures, you can travel up to 3300 miles and still find people who think quite a bit the way you do - And that's without including Alaska.

So if you encounter Americans outside of America, and they aren't holding guns, you're already in a pretty filtered group. Like anybody, some of us don't discover how uncomfortable being out of your comfort zone is until you try, and they revert to their lesser selves. But at least they tried.
Found Footage Festival on Youtube does the same thing. They have fans of the show "mine" for img's and submit interesting/weird/funny ones. It's part of their bi-weekly shows where they review weird and interesting VHS tapes and old public access shows.
Fun fact: both Linus and Wolfram have walking desks!

Wolfram said he didn't exercise much before age 40, but his wife convinced him to, and he's now resolved to not walk less than 10000 steps per day. He does his first few meetings of the day "in motion" whether walking or on a treadmill.
I can't image it is worth much for training. A lot of student submissions are going to be incorrect bull or only worth partial credit at best.
Obesity is a major risk factor for both cardiovascular disease and cancer. They are highly correlated.

it's quite easy to accidentally commit trade mark infringement if there is a restrictive policy about it and you "just fork on github"

while in many situations law cases probably would be shut down legal instability helps no one
I firmly believe that just its name set TeXmacs back by a lot. It's a pretty great choice, was even more so a decade or two ago (when typst and the ilk weren't available). But every single time I've tried to introduce it to someone, it's always some variant of "Oh, I don't use Emacs, so a plugin for that isn't useful to me". It's a really unintuitive and unfortunate naming choice that I wish they'd at least changed at some point along the way.
Ok this is really fun, works just fine with my blend of og flux+some finetunes+schnell. If you want specific subject matter you can prefix it with a folder name like `desert_trip/IMG_1018.CR2` and it generally does a fantastic job of preserving this amateur photo vibe.
Thanks, we're super passionate about this project and one of the reasons we're building it is because of the steep learning curve of editors like DaVinci and Premier.

Ask HN: Does the window docking mechanism make sense for Electron?
Complex industrial software, such as Visual Studio, usually has flexible window docking features. If I implemented similar features for Electron by modifying the source code, would anyone be interested?
In addition, is there anyone who would build complex industrial software based on Electron?
Dumb question: how is this better than connecting the digital piano to a DAW on a computer? Is that the "set and forget" aspect of this device?
I think your information is outdated. Java has had lightweight threads for several releases now. It also has type pattern matching switches, and a bunch of modern ergonomics.

async/await is not really a revolution, so much as a bandaid bringing a modicum of parallelism to certain programming languages that don't have a good threading model.

Xmx is mostly a thing if you have very small RAM, or some sort of grievously misconfigured container setup. By default it grow up to 25% of the system RAM, which is a relatively sane default.
You don't actually stand all day. You rotate so you aren't sitting or standing too much.

Do people really not understand that?
There can be overlap in both though?
"Our top story tonight: Generalissimo Francisco Franco Is Still Dead"
I see the big issues as:

1. Input accuracy, speed, and fatigue. Stick your keyboard to a wall and try standing next to it typing for an hour. Even if somehow gestures/sign-language are viable, your arms will get tired, and only a few people will power through the pain with the excuse that it's a form of exercise.

2. Motion sickness and physical safety. We make dedicated workspaces because we need to control external factors and have definite positions for things. A floating "window" isn't that different from an LCD on a pivoting arm, especially if you prefer to change the hat's on it rather than frequently relocate it.

3. We don't multitask nearly as well as we think we do.

they should have shoved the the billions of dollars into an endowment

from that they could have funded a medium sized team focusing on the browser in perpetuity

No, to my memory they were phasing out the API except for case-by-case allowed usage. I think I opened a support ticket to justify continued access, with a description of my project, but they denied my use case. I can’t remember now if access was cut off, or if limits were dropped so low it was unusable, but the project became infeasible.
The concern I have for commercialising this product is that there's a very high chance Apple will roll this out as a feature in macOS 17 or 18. It seems like a natural evolution of Apple Intelligence.

Try to get movement in whenever possible. Take the stairs, pace around during calls (when you do not share an office). Get up and stretch between "work segments". And my favorite new tool: A skipping rope that I use whenever I feel too tired/ like my concentration is breaking / I do not want to do, what I currently have to do. (Mind you, there is a storage room big enough next to my office room that is right above the underground garage, so I will not disturb my colleagues.). Before that, I used to climb the stairs to the top of my office building (five floors) and down to "unfog" my mind and get some energy back.
An aside, trying to read the Gizmodo story was like Idiocracy come to life. There was an overlay at the top with an ad. There was an overlay at the bottom with an ad. And the story, confined to 60% of the remaining space, had a giant ad inline every paragraph or two.

I know online media is a tough business, but I just can’t imagine the reasoning that has led to such an absurdly painful user experience.
I have to use MS-Windows at work. It feels as if I'm in an abusive relationship with an partner who gaslights me at very turn but I can't leave him because we have kids and I feel I have an obligation to care for them. The partner (i.e. Microsoft) is the sado-masochist.
Reading half way through the post, I thought what the author going to do was to analyze the distribution of numbers in the filename, and, I don't know, maybe give an estimation about how often people take photos or videos, based on the time, country, etc. That would be an interesting study.

I think it is obvious that staying stationary all day (standing vs. sitting) will be bad for cardiovascular health. I also don't think anyone believed standing would suddenly make working for 8+ hours a day in front of a computer screen healthy.

However, with a standing desk and split keyboard (apple trackpad in the middle), I personally feel I can work with some semblance of decent posture. When I work sitting down, especially for long periods of time, my posture degrades (tech neck, etc.) When standing up with a split keyboard, at least my posture is linear and my shoulders are back. From the study, apparently the improved posture benefits do not carry over to cardiovascular health benefits, but I would guess it is still beneficial. Very rarely in the office do I see people sitting with good posture (It is possible, but takes more conscience effort), but I will often see people standing with good "upright" posture.

tldr: Article mentions nothing about posture improvements. That is what I always thought improved the most moving from sitting to standing desks.
Thankfully, working on your V02 max doesn't take all day!
This writer has many great blog posts that tear down the Bitcoin insanity, step by step. I didn't think out how male-dominated is the DeFi "industry" (LOL), before I read this article. I cannot think of a single DeFi promoter that is a woman? Does anyone know one?
My 2c if helpful: the solution was to question deeper assumptions.

Why are you at a desk? Because you have to work 8 hours.

Why? Because your job requires it.

Why do you have that job? Because you need income to live.

Is a job the only way to have income to live? (See: FI).

Ultimately the root cause is not being in control of your time. It takes time, but once solved the downstream problems solve themselves. You can work (exert effort on goals you care about) in a way that prioritizes your health.
Mkfd – RSS feed builder created with Bun and Hono
I created an RSS feed builder that scrapes webpages according to your chosen css selectors and will also turn REST API calls into feeds based on your selected properties. Please let me know what you think. Contributions and stars are also greatly appreciated!
I used that to build this tool: https://tools.simonwillison.net/mdn-timelines#Lock

It lets you search for an API and then displays a timeline. Details on how I built it here: https://github.com/simonw/tools/commit/59323c6a30271c856aabb... and https://github.com/simonw/tools/commit/472b46fda02e912c43604...
Real question: Are there more young doomer men in those under 30 (compared to older generations), or is the Internet just giving them a platform to amplify their message?
Think knowledge as carried by the human brain. What you are asking is few generations ahead to remember the knowledge your brain created. The best way is to transmit it from brain to brain. Codify your knowledge into some kind of poetry stanzas. this would ensure effective compression and repeatability. Teach the poems to a few in the next generation. Create a loop to ensure that knowledge is passed verbatim. After a few centuries you will see it will survive. This how it is done traditionally
In about 2007 or so my brother and I used to find super obscure blogs with no comments, read them and then write detailed responses to the author and share it with our friends. We always kept it positive, and said encouraging things. Most of the time the posts had been written in the 90s or early 2000s. We just did it knowing that probably one or two people would get notified of a new comment and maybe feel happy that someone read their post.
Standing at a desk makes incidental movement possible, especially for someone like me who can't sit still much less stand still. I pace, use my pull-up bar, and use my dip bars when I'm working at my stand-up desk. I never did those things when forced to sit down even in my own home.

The article is a bit shortsighted as it seems to only measure the benefits of standing through cardiovascular risk outcomes. As someone with recent lower back issues - a musculoskeletal issue - I can tell you I would prefer to stand for most of the day.
