There's a patched redshift for wlroots compositors (sway is the most prominent one) on AUR, works perfectly in my machine.

I would bet that this list would have only small content creators that flagged videos.

There's no way that the big media companies would be in it, and they are probably the biggest offenders.

A bit of a biased source don't you think? The website was created by chevron to serve as chevron propaganda, it would not surprise me to find tons of articles defending their point of view, they don't even try to hide it, the headline of the home is "Chevron's Views And Opinions On The Ecuador Lawsuit".

Since you talked about rust in your original post, rustler allows you to write NIFs that can't crash the BEAM, never felt the need to use it, but at least it exists.

I prefer to use the analogy of being fined for illegal parking for less than the value of the parking lot fee.

If no one fined you, you parked for free, if you got fined, you still paid less than what you would pay to the parking lot.

And I agree with you, fines should be progressive, if they aren't, they are a deterrent only to small players.

I mostly use linux and emacs, but I have the reason language server working everywhere, emacs, vscode, sublime and neovim.

IIRC, the vscode only needed the extension from the store...

I love ocaml/reason and write a fair amount of code in both (both native and to javascript with bucklescript), but as a backend server the ocaml native ecosystem is far from ideal.

If I was asked to do a full stack project with reason today I would write node bindings and use them.

About 2d ones, I would recommend mari0, a fan game that mix portal and mario.

Also, the other stabyourself games are great too.

Your aha! moment helped me to have my own aha moment when I was having a hard time building a mental model to really get phasors, so thank you too :).

Our government is short sighted so even if you all chipped something, our current president would rather have it burned to the ground to allow illegal mining, wood cutters and cattle raising on the burned ground.

Yes, this and a few other things, just now (as of half an hour ago) the president authorized the armed forces to help with the fires, and it just happened because there's a lot of pressure, internal and from outside, but the actual president also wants to eliminate indigenous people and their land to allow illegal mining and illegal wood cutters to thrive.

As I said, there's a lot more to this, for example, farmers started the burning (we're calling it "day of the fire") because of shit that the president said.

Also he blamed NGOs for the fires, when asked if he had any proof he said "Is there need for proof?".

He's a short sighted moron doing what short sighted morons do, it's a sad state of affairs here.

Your comment reminded me of this talk: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

LiveView is great for writing form validations or simple admin stuff. Even though the examples show that you can do 60fps animations, it is not the intended use case, you're not going to write anything that needs small latency or that needs a ton of processing using LiveView, front end developers are fine.

Word equation editor is a useful toy for people that need a couple of equations here and there.

In college I used to transcribe my notes into nice pdfs using LaTeX, at one point I had snippets for all the common equations, I wasn't even thinking about what to do to write it down, it turned into muscle memory.

Besides that, Word now has support for LaTeX, it speaks pretty loudly about LaTeX qualities over the "let me look for the line integral symbol in these menus".

Yeah, it has a pretty steep learning curve, but once you get over it there's no better way to write equations.

Obviously, it is not for everyone, as I said, if all you need is a couple of equations, Word point and click equation editor is more than enough, but there's nothing "cavemanly" about LaTeX, it's powerful and once you learn how to use it it doesn't stand on your way.

Power plants are much more efficient in converting fuel to energy than the combustion engines in vehicles, so, even if we use fossil fuel to generate the power that electric vehicles need, we will be in a better spot than the one we are right now.

(And I'm not even considering the energy that we need to expend to refine the oil to make fuel that vehicles can use).

Great content, and then I followed @foone and one of the recommended people was another account that I just followed because the pinned tweet was this: https://twitter.com/TubeTimeUS/status/732005292808900608

I saw it before and probably on HN itself, but was left hidden in some place in my memory, it is an amazing project!

It's an idea so dumb that you need to pay for a software that the only reason to exist is for you to pay your taxes, Brazil gets a lot of things wrong, but at least our government provides a software available for every platform (windows, mac, linux, ios, android and even a jar, so if it runs java, you're fine) for us to do our taxes.

You need to pay an accountant only if your taxes are complex, and even them will use the software, they just know more about how to structure your data to insert in the program, it is honestly insane that a company like turbotax is needed, but lobby is really a powerful tool.

I'm 33, switched to emacs the end of the last year, still find the way that vim edit files better, but the ecosystem around emacs has a ton of niceties, so for me the solution was to install evil-mode and configure it to work as close as possible to my vim configuration, but in the end I decided to left some things the emacs way.

Now I sometimes find myself using some of the emacs shortcuts when editing files with vim...

Consciously I know that jk is a better shortcut, but I've been using jj for so long that it's ingrained in the muscle memory, when I started using emacs the first thing that I did with evil was replicate all the shortcuts that I am used to in vim, the first one was jj.

> -Verifying that a SemVer update is safe or flagging where it will change the behavior of your code.

Isn't that similar to what Elm does?

Had the same experience, spacemacs has nice defaults and it's gorgeous, but the lag bothered me so much that I was using vim a lot of time to get things to work.

Changed to a clean configuration and built it slowly, everytime I hit an annoyance I fixed and learned something new, now it works better than spacemacs for my workflow and still is way snappier.

Yeah, when you can go for free to a doctor your entire life and your prescriptions are free or subsidized because the government can negotiate prices in bulk, the end result is that you get better results spending less.

It's not perfect, but it leads to a better outcome than when people only see a doctor when it's an emergency because they are too afraid to go bankrupt or because they are poor enough that they can't even pay for a simple visit to do an yearly check up.

I don't have time to grind games anymore, so I simply don't play games that have microtransactions, if a game has good and complete DLCs, that's still okay, but I remember fondly the times where games came complete when you bought them.

Also, they are predatory, so that's other reason for not support them, companies that try to sustain themselves using addicted "whales" deserve to fail as soon as possible.

By the way, the most downvoted comment[0] on reddit history so far is exactly one when a big company (EA) tried to stuff a lot of microtransactions in a big brand name (star wars), fearing the backlash, disney intervened and told EA to remove them.

Ignoring the terrible taste of your argument for the sake of keeping it civil...

Do you really think that everyone should simply bend to the externalities that you generate?

You really think that you could drop toxic waste on a river that goes through your property and no one can complain when the river dies because you are more important that the victims of your externalities?

Because it is a terrible argument that does not seem to have any basis on how the real world operates.

Some people weren't happy, so...

Steve Squyres from Cornell answered something kinda related on the jpl channel today[0].

"If you had the opportunity to bring a hundred and eighty kilograms of stuff back from the surface of Mars, the last thing I wanna bring is something I know exactly what is made of."

Opportunity did her mission amazingly and is resting in peace in the place where she was designed to be.

We learned a lot from her and her sister mission, now, the effort is better spent building over their shoulders.

Not that surprising given the fact the spanish has around 44 million speakers in US and probably most of them are from countries in Latin America.

But on the other hand, an AI that beats humans using brute force in a game where it makes a ton of difference isn't much fair too.

Yeah, put an eye tracker in a pro and you'll see that the eyes are constantly changing the focus point, if you can watch the entire scene with the same precision without the need to focus on it you're already at a nice advantage.

As an aside, a few pro gamers prefer to play on windowed mode for exactly this reason.
