Accelerometer, by putting the two phones together and shaking (some app used to do this, but I can't find it with a quick search). Edit: I might have been thinking of Bump, mentioned downthread, though it's a different physical mechanism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_(application)

Camera, and point it at their changing screen (or both at the same scene at the same moment). Not too intrusive.

GPS, but that would require location permission. Intrusive.

Audio, but that would require allowing microphone. Intrusive.

Why not? People were not far from it and have been getting closer and closer to it for years. To me it seemed almost certain that it would happen this decade or next.

Two beat two hours is what they meant.

21.19km/h on average, or 17 seconds per hundred metres on average.

It's immutable and you can't install packages, just docker containers.

No, Google's market cap is $4.1T, over 10 times $350B.

I can't find that exact quote, but the US navy had barges (made of concrete!) that made ice cream in World War 2, and those barges were unarmed so needed guarding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream_barge

It's been open and free on Adobe's website for 20+ years, aside from proprietary extensions like XFA. It's the ISO standards that until recently required payment (as that's how ISO generally works).

It has been since 2008.

In my experience (NZ) that means it was strong but distant.

It's pretty obvious if you did high school physics. I experimented with earphones as microphones as a teenager but couldn't get any meaningful audio data.

I think they're being downvoted because their comments all seem to have AI features.

That should be "research" and "straight" in the last sentence. Maybe that will improve it further?

We care only about a very small and narrow subset of possible programs, not any arbitrary one. It's possible to solve this kind of problem in large enough classes of program to be useful.

The JS engine is SpiderMonkey, which is C++.

Right, I immediately saw a torus - it was light blue (that's trivial to change, but I can't have no colour if it's visual) - but it could have been the size of a bacterium or the size of a galaxy. Without any context or application, the size is undefined.

> When Illustrating a mathematical idea, the first thing you need to decide is the scale.

I have spent much of my life illustrating mathematical ideas, and scale is never the first thing I decide. Most commonly it stays abstract and there is no scale; it's flexible and I can zoom in and out at will. Sometimes I will choose a scale partway through or towards the end of an explanation, if I want to use a specific analogy, but I can comfortably rescale it to something else - the scale is never fixed.

Interesting to see such a different view.

jacquesm did that impressively 9 years ago: https://jacquesmattheij.com/sorting-two-metric-tons-of-lego, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14226889 (follow-up posts with more details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14280569, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14654223).

It doesn't solve the picking-up-off-the-floor problem.

The USA system is hardly the only alternative.

That sounds like one very narrow cultural perspective.

You missed the embedded video near the top.

ZeroTier. It works well for me. I chose it over Tailscale because it doesn't require a third party for login.

I say "heck" instead of "hell" all the time. I'm not religious, so the invented "heck" is more of a swearword.

That just shows the first post for most people. Here is all of it: https://xcancel.com/FabianGloeckle/status/204008278585190440...

Does Cloudflare use EmDash in production? Showing that its design and implementation have been refined through real-world use would help instil confidence.

It's for code though, not lists or bullet points.

The proto-Celtic that is Indo-European? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Celtic_language

Kea also make and use tools, e.g. to set off stoat traps to get the bait: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/366747/clever-kea-using-..., https://twig.technology/blog/alpine-kea-trap-tampering

That's what I'm pointing out. The person I replied to thinks it does: "I have personally refused to accept in the past that 27 inch 4k isn’t as bad as people say and got one myself only to regret buying it. Get the correct size and scaling and your life will be peaceful. I would recommend the same for Linux and Windows too tbh but people who game might be fine with other sizes and resolutions."

27" 4k is totally fine on Windows 11 (not a gamer). Everything is sharp at 150% scale.
