reificator

Look into KDE Connect which has a similar feature. Not proximity based as far as I know, but it handles the hard part of unlocking the device.

The more efficient computers are, the more people will use and rely on computers.

> Yeah I thought so too, but reading the ticket they linked it looks like in a specific version of Minecraft, strongholds we’re not being generated at all?

That "specific version of Minecraft" being a weekly development snapshot and not a point release, to be clear.

> If I understood it correctly, you can buy replacement parts only from Framework. They will have supply issues, and customers will be unhappy.

RAM, wireless, and storage aren't chained to Framework, and are effectively the only parts you can reasonably buy for any existing laptop in the current day.

I would not be surprised if battery and screen replacements start popping up, but that's just a guess not something I'd bet on.

That Framework will be the only suppliers of parts that other laptops don't even attempt to make replaceable is not a worrying situation, it's a hopeful one.

> (I notice a few comments describing this syntax as less readable. My first thought was that these comments were sarcastic/trolling, but I've concluded that they're serious – but written by programmers who think very differently than I do!)

Don't worry, I assumed the exact same about your comment. I still have to remind myself sometimes that people use Python because they think it's easier to reason about.

Not if your team size is two, for example.

> So I'm making a guess here that you play with few monsters or non-aggressive monsters?

Aggressively building turret walls, defensive train lines, and so on very quickly pays dividends here. Particularly if you claim as much territory as you can each time you expand instead of simply defending what you've built out.

If done this way building/improving defenses and managing enemies becomes a task you maintain every so often and doesn't spill over into the reliability of your base.

> I do not believe that mathematical notation can be improved (a poor analogy would be trying to improve, say, English language itself)

I strongly hope you mean that heavy-handed top-down approaches aren't likely to work. Because this reads as though you're saying we've somehow reached the optimal point on every axis for both mathematics and general-purpose communication.

I can't imagine you'd be able to use i3 for your windows apps from what I've read, but it should work with your Linux side.

> It's literally impossible to use that without zooming

Let's keep the discussion honest. I have a high DPI phone screen, I'm at the normal text size for my device, and I regularly use those buttons without zooming with reasonable accuracy.

The hyperbole is not warranted here. While I agree touch targets could be bigger they are certainly not impossible to use reliably.

> There's still no mobile friendly stylesheet. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Beyond code blocks having line wrap, the HN mobile stylesheet seems fine to me. What issue do you take with it?

Heads up, and not because of any stance I hold on this issue:

I don't know if OP posted this story multiple times, or if this is a template that people are using, but I've definitely seen this story with incredibly similar wording and pacing on HN before.

Sorry bad joke about how the name "xterm" sounds like the beginning of the word "exterminate", implying it was made by Daleks from Doctor Who.

I forgot HN is not the place for humor, and I did not intend to cast any actual aspersions toward anyone maintaining cool projects.

That was not a condescending comment by my read.

Replace counting in other bases with “theoretical physics” or “woodworking” and it doesn’t read that way either.

I think this xkcd is relevant here: https://xkcd.com/2501/

I agree with that statement.

MMOs and lootboxes are a societal harm however.

> The eInk situation is indeed dysfunctional, but the fact that one patent holder is bad at business doesn’t mean much more than that.

Whether they're bad at business or not, it's certainly not a situation that makes me feel like the patent system is in my best interest.

I'm waiting for version 8 of xterm.js where they introduce a minimal version that uses less resources. Then we'll find out who's really behind the project...

xterm-min-8.js

My plugin and bot development is targeted first and foremost at my own needs. Anything I can share with others is gravy.

Which means if your platform doesn't let me talk to the users I personally want to talk to/do the things I want to do, I'm not going to write anything for it without compensation.

Ten years ago that could have been my response when someone called me out. I typed the exact same kinds of things to the exact same kinds of callouts. Until one day when instead of arguing further I actually did sit down, reflect, and become incredibly embarrassed with my behavior.

I wondered why no one else had told me how it looked or what it made me look like, but then I realized they had been. So that's all I'm trying to do now for you.

That you think I'm the one who was arguing with you despite me saying "the posts of the person you're arguing with" instead of "my posts" confirms what I was saying.

You don't seem to care about actually understanding the other person's meaning. You're very clearly looking for a way to continue the argument and prove how smart you are, but I assure you as a (former) bystander that you're not succeeding.

Read the two quotes at the top of this post, really read them, and you'll hopefully see what I mean.

I tell you this because I've been there and it's not a good way to live, nor is it a good way to impress people.

> It would be pretty dumb to say people couldn't pretty much go to space.

I'm not convinced you're reading the posts of the person you're arguing with, or really putting much effort at all into understanding what they're trying to say.

Why? Would you not prefer an accurate title over a misconception?

The book’s title is “The Node Experiment - Exploring Async Basics with Rust”.

The reference to Node is that the book reimplements a similar system to Node’s event loop, but using Rust, to learn more about Rust’s async support.

Node is chosen as a well known async model for this generation’s developers.

> > … I don't recommend anyone do it outside of a testing environment.

> … which is exactly dow it is used in dapr

Eh... There's a difference between "a testing environment" as used in that quote and "as part of an automated test" as you mean here.

To me the former implies an experimental and/or ad-hoc environment, while the latter implies a stable, production environment.

To anyone else confused as I was, "this project from MS does basically the same thing" is referring to monkeypatching a running executable, not having a license that forbids use of the software.

If this is the bar for spyware then I've got bad news for anyone browsing the web, even with javascript disabled.

I find the intersection of users who monitor network requests like a hawk but download 150mb apps to run dd hilarious.

I'm not even anti electron, you can pry vscode from my cold dead hands, but I've always been confused at the popularity of balena etcher in the first place.

Bought the latest SE over a year ago at considerably less than my last comparable Android device. Have spent under $100 in the App Store since.

Phone does everything that I want it to do including some fairly complex multi-app automations 15 minutes before I leave, when I get an SMS, etc...

Funny, avoiding context switches is why I keep everything in plaintext...

I was commenting on the snap responses, my goal was just to avoid an editor war.

I brought up post score relative to comment rate only because in my experience high engagement with no votes generally means I probably just started an argument.
