I'd really love to know why 99% of the well made, polished and fastest of these tools are made using Rust if anyone patient enough cares to explain.

Is Rust a particularly good fit for CLI tools like these ? Why so ?

Bought the last generation of this on a whim, used it maybe an hour since then.

Nothing about this is convenient except if your workflow involves you constantly changing keyboard layout for some reason.

A lot of products like this one already exist and do things better, MS Surface, iPad Pro etc.

I don't really understand what niche this fits in except for impulse buyers like myself.

edit: also on last gen there was no way to store the stylus, so I ended up losing it in a week or so. Feels like a pretty big oversight honestly, a problem that could be avoided with a simple pair of magnets.

I love the why of this project.

What kind of disabilities are we talking about here ? Physical ? Mental ? Both ? Any way to know ? Does anthropophobia count as a disability for instance ?

Searched on the page but I could not find anything relating this.

The problem with these sort of papers is that we find a "the new smallest dividend" of the universe every other day. You can't make an accurate estimation of something you do not know, only guesses. Not to say that "guesses" haven't taken us to the moon, on the contrary, but it gives another perspective on affirmations made such as the one in this paper's title.

I know it's low and am currently looking for a better job somewhere else (which I am pretty confident I could get) but these things take time and I have alot of other stuff to deal with in my life atm. Don't really like my job right now at all, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...

I live in Paris, am french, and have been working at the same startup for more than a year and some months now.

The scene is very active, any new company these days will always brand themselves as a "startup" no matter how they function behind the scenes. So alot of "false advertising" when you postulate, "we're cool and all, we SOMETIMES allow a day of remote work a week" and typical bs like that.

Your french will need to be good, because it has been proven time and time again that we are bad as flip at learning languages and if you watch statistics online you'll see we're worst ranked in the entirety of Europe in languages.

Used to be that there were some "startup heavy" districts inside Paris, still is the case, but now we also have the brand new "Station F" that sells itself (or rather Macron sells as) the next Silicon Valley of Europe.... Never heard that anywhere...

My SO is currently in internship at station F and she told me the turnover is pretty crazy, it's more of an incubator that helps new startups get on their feet, so they'll probably stay around 6 months and then move far away to get cheap offices. Also apparently their selection process is run by old investors that have no idea what they are doing and if you simply sell your sh#t product/service well enough you'll get in. From what my SO told me about 50% of the startups over there are your typical "marketing" based "services" that sell you vaporware and invest 99% of their revenue in better "packaging" and what not, if you know what type of "company" I'm talking about...

Last thing, you'll probably get a good pay since your resume mentions the words "worked at Silicon Valley", but from my experience, every single HR will try to f#ck you over when you are being hired, so you better be a tough negotiator. For reference I currently earn 30k eur (about 21k after tax) a year as a junior (2 year xp) full-stack dev (mainly node, php and alot of sysops)

I'd resume by saying that overall, startups in Paris are more akin to those in SF than the Silicon Valley if you know what I mean. That might be your sort of thing, but I'm more of a "I want to build the future with my new js framework" type of guy... So have been considering moving out of France.

Yes, UV rays cause damage to pretty much any organic matter, that's the reason we wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and why cheap "fake" sunglasses can be harmful for your eyes (the glass is simply tinted and does not filter out the UVs, which is what they should be doing)

edit: the way I remember it is that like any type of radiation, anything that goes into your body stays there pretty much until your death, the only way to keep your "uv capital" in good shape is to be proactive about it, cant do anything retroactively. This is why about 1/3rd of Australians will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime.

Use f.lux or an equivalent (most OS have their own implementation by now) that filters out the blue light at software/rendering level, it's not perfect but you do instantly feel the comfort it brings to your eyes. Been using f.lux for over 10 years and it also helps alot with going to sleep at night. When it's off your eyes/brain thinks that they are in daytime / broad daylight, when it's on I fall asleep 2 or 3 times faster than without.

Did we not already know about this ? I remember 5+ years ago blue LEDs were pulled off of the market (at least in France) because the spectrum they emit in is way too close to uv and could burn your macula.

Watch your logs ?

I don't understand exactly how this is low-friction in any possible way...

1. Open browser -> Go to devhints -> search for "dd" -> select doc

2. Open term -> type tldr dd

Another thing that is missing is offline access, localStorage integrates in minutes...

I simply feel like this is someone trying to reinvent the wheel and also that this medium (a website) might not be the best way to do that. Sure it has a pretty frontend and a somewhat decent user experience for a web "app", but I (and probably many more devs) spend about 90% of my day in my terminal...

What are the advantages of using this over tldr[1] or cheat[2] ?

Why not just go for a Surface Pro and get the best of both worlds ?

also crashed firefox on mac and chrome somebody should just paste them here in the comments seeing the % of people here who run macos

"While analyzing the servers of malicious actors, Kaspersky researchers also found archives containing a cache of Telegram data that had been stolen from victims." more worried about that than the rest.

I tried Glasswire a while back when it was still in beta because 360 Total Security had an ad about it for a while. The UI/UX was very nice but if I remember correctly I stopped using it (and 360 Total Security) because some articles were starting to pop up about their (potential) ties with the Chinese government... Might be a wild conspiracy theory but I'm not sure I am very comfortable with using fully closed source app that has never been audited by anyone to "secure" my computers. After a quick search I can't find anything about the teams behind these projects...

I don't think you understand that guy's issue.

None mentions telegram secret chats ?

Pretty sure quantum tunneling starts to come into play under ~6 nm (hard limit of usual consumer processor) Do these do anything different to be able to aim for 7nm so fast ?

You should check out a project like Cardano then, they make their research go through academic peer review before they do anything. They also write their code in a way that you can prove it is an actual implementation of what the paper said (if I'm remembering correctly,but I'm not very familiar on the topic so I won't say much more about that, you can research it if you want).

You read the word WebAssembly somewhere didn't you.

New Black Mirror season anyone ? It's only been like 2 weeks and this it is already coming to life. Can't wait for 2018...

Dell XPS are very nice but whatever you do don't go for a model that has an integrated AND dedicated graphics card. I made this mistake, got a 15" from early 2017 fully maxed out only to realise that since I have two graphics cards and Linux has very bad support for nvidia prime (if usage low, use cpu graphics, if gaming use nividia). You can either: - manually activate one and have the other disabled for the time being - use the cpu always, unless you launch a program with a optirun, then it will use the nivida card

You can't have the OS make the decision for you, where Windows can. Apparently it has something to do with Nvidia not willing to share some of their source with the linux community but the end result is that you either have an overpowered computer that will run 2.5 hours and get very hot and make alot noise, or an underpowered computer that does have a longer battery life but visibly degraded performance (even on Youtube...)

Most distros wont even let you boot into X with a dual gpu setup... I tried every version I could of Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora and more, in the end the version that seemed to work the best was Fedora. But I still had to heavily optimize it and find a way that was practical enough for me to use. I still tried to live with it for a couple of months but I got really tired of everything breaking now and then because I updated a single package or some cosmic ray shifted a bit somewhere...

And don't even get me started on how Wayland is supposed to be better at this than X... The Nvidia control panel won't even open under Wayland...

Opened an issue on stackoverflow about this some months ago, got maybe 10 people following the question and not a single answer...

So yeah lesson learned on this one. If I had to do it all over I would have gone for a Thinkpad without a doubt. For now the most usable "linux" I can have on this XPS 15 is Windows with the Linux Subsystem enabled...

EDIT: also make sure you laptop screen has the same scaling as your (potential) external monitor(s) or you are in for a bumpy ride...

just invest what you can in the top 10. cash out only what you need when you need it and simply watch the rest rise over time to heights most mortals would never dream of.

crypto

ok ?

since the release is the 16th of Nov is this version really the final ?

The way I've always seen and understood it is that there's two types of companies :

- starting businesses/(relatively) small businesses that look for someone with the broadest skills possible, this way you employ fewer people to get the job done and have a MVP

- established/historical/corporate companies that already have an established stack that you are not going to reinvent (because of the scale or simply because they wont even let you try) and these companies tend to know exactly what their weaknesses are and they search for way more specialized people to fill those gaps. they also look for "fullstack" devs but way more skilleld, akin to "tech gurus" that act more as lead devs/team supervisors to help out anyone that might run into trouble, so in this case you'd better have some nice work experience.

Anyways, frontend/backend/fullstack, in the end, the pay potential and employability is all about how you sell yourself and nothing more.
