Yep. When I first encountered it years ago, that was my take. You'll for Midwesterners. Cool.

Well, I mooched it, and have seen it propagate here in the Northwest. Will not be long before it takes more general hold as we exchange people.

I seem to be bumping into it here (PDX) area more these days.

My favorite bit in all this is:

"All Y'all" which is simply plural for "Y'all", plus a subtle bit of familiarity state info.

If everyone is close, in agreement, likely to act as one, then "y'all" works for single as well as multiple people.

All y'all gets invoked when the group has differences. Maybe a few couples, or some people are new, or may be disagreeable in some way.

English is a lot of fun, because it allows for a very robust ad-hoc communication. Over time, the lexicon is never dull!
My comment was intended to be constructive, not to spark a flamewar. If you compare Crypto++ and Libsodium, you’ll notice they were created in different decades. This reflects that, at one point, C++ developers predominantly used Crypto++, while later, Libsodium emerged as an alternative.
"Team" makes sense when addressing... well, your team, like if you're in a huddle of basketball players. But there are many contexts where it doesn't make sense as a general purpose second person plural.

Yeah. The US approach is, generally, to try to address novel issues in court, essentially creating new rules via the courts in areas which currently have poor coverage (US agencies do also create new rules via devolved powers, or via legislation, but the US system leans more on the courts). The EU tends to legislate, by preference, and then enforce the new rules (at which point they're challenged in court, typically).

Currently, the US is addressing this via the US v Apple, US v Google etc cases (applying existing law and precedent to a novel situation), while the EU is addressing it via the DMA and DSA (new laws intended for this sort of situation). To some extent this is just a difference between common law and civil law practices (strictly speaking the ECJ isn't civil law, it's its own thing), though the US does lean more heavily on litigation vs legislation than even other common law countries.

> Why do laptop chargers have data wires?

Charging cables have data wires because then they can be used as data cables, meaning you can pull the end out of the charger and plug it into some other device, since the USB-C port on the laptop that accepts charge is certain to be a dual-role port. If charging cables didn’t have data wires, you’d have to swap cables in this use case.

> Why don’t the charger manufacturers do this themselves and remove the data wires if there is no purpose for them? It creates an unnecessary security risk by having the data wires.

Because then everyone would have to buy additional USB-C data cables, and then (because it is more convenient) they’d use those with the charger anyway, and the only product would be more e-waste. I mean, the charger already is probably going to last much longer than the supplied cable, and eventually people are going to be using a separate cable with it, using a useless-for-other-purposes cable just accelerates that.

And the security risk is from untrusted chargers. For the charger manufacturer, their charger isn’t untrusted. If the buyer doesn’t trust them, they won’t trust them to supply a safe cable whether or not they actually do, so its not even a useful “secure” sales gimmick. If someone has security concerns about the charger manufacturer, they’ll get a power-only cable from a trusted party and use that, there is no benefit to anyone from the charger manufacturer providing a power-only cable except, I guess, for customers for whom the charger manufacturer is a trusted party, who wants a cable they can use with the original charger and also when they are charging from untrusted other chargers on the road, but compared to people who are better served by dual use cables and people who will use a separately-acquired “safe” cable with any charger, that’s going to be a very small audience.

The math department at my college had three linear algebra courses.

“Intro to linear algebra.” 200-level. Vectors are (x,y,z), more or less. Class includes math, engineering, science, and business majors. 200-level makes it nominally a second-year course but lots of first-year students will take it. Required course for many different majors.

“Applied linear algebra.” 300-level. Vectors are finite. Eigenvalues, linear transformations, determinants, matrix algebra, factorization. Touches on numerical methods but doesn’t spend much time on them. Students were mostly math, with some physics and electrical engineers mixed in.

“Advanced linear algebra.” Series of two 400-level / 500-level courses. Almost exclusively math majors and math grad students. Algebraic topology, tensor spaces, exterior algebra, spectral theory, differential forms.

There were also numerical methods courses—one in the math department and one in the CS department.

Out of curiosity I pasted your comment into ChatGPT and asked it which movie you were referring to and it got it correct.

I find GPT quite useful for those “tip of your tongue” type queries, and have used it to name movies and actors quite a few times.
That's a movie I haven't thought about in awhile. Decent flick.

It gets even more complicated when you consider what geometric format it records in.

If it records "naively" where the vertical pixel maps to the angle relative to the horizon, then you get the least amount of detail around the "equator", and you get the most at the "poles" above and below you. Which is not only totally imbalanced, but imbalanced in the worst possible way!

Back in 2017 Google introduced a new format that YouTube VR uses:

https://blog.google/products/google-ar-vr/bringing-pixels-fr...

It's called an Equi-Angular Cubemap, so each pixel represents the same amount of area in a VR projection.

Unfortunately, outside of YouTube it still hasn't really taken off as far as I know, although some VR video players support it.

I wonder if Blackmagic records in it? Or more generally, in what shape does the 180° image fall on the rectangular sensor -- and so how does actual resolution vary across the VR projection?
It doesn't need the app. You can use their stuff without it.

If you want to use some of their more advanced features, you need to use the app.

For example, I have it setup so that if my macbook is on, I can push my cursor to the far left of my windows screen and my mouse will automatically switch to the macbook bringing along anything in the clipboard.
Hah, yes! I just realized this! (Well, Whirlwind uses a revolution). I'd never connected that between all the books.
Totally understand. At that time 300 pixels horizontally by pretty much anything vertically was considered high resolution.

The cool thing about machines like the Kaypro was the dot clocks were actually pretty fast, so add on boards tended to do fairly high resolution if you got one. Might be 640 by something, or 512...
it's likely not the case here but more powerful unions can block non-union scabs from taking the jobs of striking workers (in that this is usually part of the contract the union has with the employer). at scale, unions have a lot more power to affect things

but the point is it's not about worker skill when unions are at sufficient power levels

Java's main issue is that its `throws` isn't generic. It forces middleware-like code to choose between `throws Exception` and runtime-only plus boxing... both of which lose ALL details and ruin your compile-time safety.

IMO it just poisoned the well, and now everyone* thinks they don't like checked exceptions, when really they just don't like Java's badly crippled version.
this doesn't happen with a literal human flipping burgers replaced with a robot flipping burgers. It's complex drinks made with a button push instead of mixed by hand, more of the delivery chain pushed to the left of the restaurant, like Tim Horton's making all the donuts in factories and "finishing" them in store instead of hiring bakers, shifting traffic to drive through, and gig-delivered take away. Having customers order and queue up, etc. There are way less employees and they are only doing the "hard" work, massively parallelized.
It should be obvious that, since the earth is a flat disk, the "circular horizon from the cockpit of a jumbo jet" is just the edge of the disk. :-)
sounds like you have a requirement that filters out a lot of people. typically when things get rarer they get more expensive.
Not all H1B holders have advanced degrees, and the reason some of them do is because that’s one of the immigration pathways —- pay for a 1-2-year Master’s degree so you get a better chance of landing an H1B after you graduate. Most citizens don’t go for advanced degree because there’s no utility in them, and not because they aren’t smart.
There must have been reasons why those people chose to live there. They must have felt it was their best option. If they were mistaken then they should be provided with more information until they are not mistaken. If they were not mistaken then the government barged in and removed these people's best living option because the government felt it was ugly. That's not very good.

Show HN: Mizu.js – Lightweight HTML templating library for any-side rendering
Hey HN,

I'd like to share a fun project I've been working on: mizu.js.

It's a js library that add functional attributes support into your html, designed to be a simple and flexible alternative to fully-fledged web frameworks (such as Vue, React, and Angular), while offering more capabilities than other lightweight options (like Alpine.js and htmx).

As it's written using modern ES features and due to its isomorphic nature, it can be run in both browsers and runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun) without any changes.
This makes it ideal for client-side and server-side rendering, as well as static site generation, whichever environment you prefer.

Just include the script in any web page (or backend) to get started.
You can template content, bind attributes, add interactivity, handle HTTP interactions, create custom components, and much more — all out of the box, without any configuration, transpilation steps, or builds.

I hope you'll find mizu.js as exciting and useful as I do and I'd love to get your feedback!
You can learn more about it at https://mizu.sh!

Online playground: https://mizu.sh/playground
Custom builder: https://mizu.sh/build
Code coverage: https://mizu.sh/coverage
GitHub: https://github.com/lowlighter/mizu

## Motivation ##

Nowadays, setting up a complete environment and installing thousands of packages is often required just to create a simple "Hello World" page.
Yet, with the current ECMAScript standard, vanilla JS has never been more powerful.
It offers built-in custom HTML components, proxies for changes tracking, weak references for better memory management, and many new data structures and methods.

So why is web development still insanely complex?

mizu.js aims to avoid adding bloat on top of native features, and instead focus on providing convenience helpers.
It's basically "glue" around all these native features with added sugar, a recipe for a lightweight yet powerful utility.

All evaluated expressions are interpreted as vanilla JavaScript, and you add your instructions directly into your HTML.
So if you know already know about JS/HTML, then you're already 80% know of how to use mizu.js (add an extra 10% if you've used Vue, Alpine.js or htmx in the past as some syntax and concepts are inspired by it), the rest is basically just remembering the directive names.
The learning curve is that small.

Also, you may have heard of https://matcha.mizu.sh, a CSS stylesheet to instantly make your web page stylized.
Well, it's a great companion to mizu.js. With both of them, you can create MVPs for your projects super fast!
Not really. Countries like India are very large (population-wise) and have a very thriving domestic technology scene with a LOT of good talent. Not all of them want to migrate to other countries just for money. For the CoL in India, they are very well paid.
think of how you do any similar activity; is the slow part walking a short, line of sight distance?
I think a perfect example is swipe to type. It’s would actually be easy to type on the watch if it supported this.

It’s been a few years, so I might be out of date here, but the last update here was that there was an app that supported this (FlickType, only for Messages because app APIs, sure fine) but Apple banned the app after a lengthy but successful App Store approval and several updates (it appears to be back now).

I consistently ran into issues similar to this, where a solution was so obvious but Apple either totally missed it or seemed to actively make the issue harder without a phone.

I wish a wrote a blog post at the time about each one but I didn’t. Syncing music also comes to mind — I think you had to sync specific playlists, not your library, and it really, really sucked with almost no feedback. You also needed the iPhone watch app to do it — sync to phone then sync to watch. I was surprised Apple shipped it.

This comes from a happy macOS, Arch Linux and iPhone user who buys/uses an Android every 5 years for a year.

I’m going to charge the watch and update it to see if Apple implemented it. I just don’t think Apple is interested nor financially motivated to make the watch a first class citizen.

It is still a WIP, but the CUDA kernels are unlikely to see much improvement for a while as I had gone over them with a fine toothed comb for performance in the past few days. The C code is more likely where I will be making improvements. For example, I need to switch to a structure to stop abusing an array of void pointers for the cudaMemcpy() aggregration trick for the cublasGemmBatchedEx() calls.

The current version is performing either on par to or slightly better than llama.cpp's F16 codepath on my 3090 Ti, and I have not even implemented CUDA graphs yet. Both get around 53 tokens per second, although on really good runs, I have seen my code do 54 tokens per second and I have not seen that from llama.cpp so far.
> The USB standard only allows 7.5W (5V @ 1.5A) of power. By negotiating over the data lines, the supplier and consumer can agree to higher amperage and voltage (up to 100W in USB3, 240W in USB3.1) - but you need data lines for this feature.

It certainly stinks as a software engineer laid off in January who has struggled to find work. The hiring bar is too high at every company. They’re actively looking for reasons to eliminate you rather than reasons to pass you. That mindset leads to an overly cynical evaluation. I find it crazy to be rejected before an initial screening at a company I’ve been referred to, yet it has happened a few times.

At this point I feel like I’m relying entirely on luck and hoping for someone to pay it forward by “taking a chance” on me even though I feel perfectly capable. Surely there’s a single company that I could work out for despite not having 5 years of experience.
as a union diesel engine mechanic i can guarantee most, if not all these comments are complete PR.

I went on strike about ten years ago to protest mandatory overtime and lack of chemical PPE. the minute we authorized the strike, we had news channels from three states covering us and a billboard up the road that demanded an end to the strike by "concerned" truckers was erected in hours. Every day I could count on at least four emails from various sources, everything from "your union is cancelled" to "union declared illegal" and everything in between including offers to work for more pay but no contract. weekends were nearly a dozen phone calls, mostly robo, threatening pay cuts and layoffs and asking to cancel your healthcare and benefits.

we stuck out 19 days and won, and the very same news crews showed up again with no interviews from us, only management praising their great negotiation effort.
Since when is "folks" limited to black Americans? It was being heard in households across America for 50 years from Loony Tunes and the news.
> For me, this begs the questions of what exactly is being produced when we say worker productivity has increased, and where is it going?

Power.

Political power: policies written to benefit the highest bidder.

Financial power: more leverage in being able to dictate terms of borrowing by workers - and being able to force the government to borrow from capitalists instead of levying taxes on them.

Physical power: Being able to buy/influence law enforcement (themselves a type of worker) to protect the capitalist's interests over those of other workers.
Thats horrifying, and it motivated me to do a bit of reading - most of what I saw suggested it was only used for containment of wide spread infections in factory farmed animal population (mad cow was the one that came up the most) and in those cases I can kinda understand the need to contain the animals and dispatch them....but the idea that it could last 3+ hours is still unacceptable.

I don't mind the killing, but it should be quick, efficient, and as painless as possible for the animal involved.

See "The Age of Substitutability (What do we do when the mercury runs out?)"

https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/5045860

The conclusion: most material demand is for elements so common on Earth that supplies will never run out. Only more energy is required to deal with super-low-grade ores (like 10% Fe basalt instead of 15% Fe taconite). The rare elements can largely be substituted so that the residuum of non-substitutable demand can stretch supplies to millions of years.

As you'd expect of a paper coauthored by Alvin Weinberg in 1975, the energy solution proposed is "fission breeder reactors" but there's a nod toward the long term potential of solar power and fusion.

"When it comes to drinking rubbing alcohol, the digestive tract suffers the most, even when only swallowing a small amount. The body metabolizes these extremely high alcohol levels into acetone. If consumed to intoxication, the substance can lead to organ damage. Because it's a central nervous system depressant, side effects can include dizziness, headaches and inebriation. Because it's a gastrointestinal irritant, it can cause nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting blood. In addition, "due to having a higher molecular weight than ethanol, isopropanol, is more intoxicating than ethanol and can produce an altered sensorium, hypotension, hypothermia, and even cardiopulmonary collapse. Hypotension is associated with severe overdose and related to a mortality rate of nearly 45 percent," according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

I am not sure I would call that "drinkable", unless you just mean it will physically go down your gullet.
