Maybe by providing a unique email to the user that he/she will use for the company. Be sure to forward emails to the user also :D


Haha, that's unlikely.


I got a patch rejected (rightfully so IMO) a long-time ago from libvirt (RedHat) because I was using (and mentioning) code taken from StackOverflow.


I've bought cars that cost me less than a nVidia card (and they were running).


Which new cars cost less than 2000$-1000$?


They didn't say new cars.


Then what's the point of such an arbitrary comparison? It's normal that plenty of commodities that were expensive when new have been devalued by age and can cost less on the used market than the top of the line BRAND NEW cutting edge GPU today, which itself will be worthless in 10-20 years on the used market and so on.


Presumably, the point is that a working car is more complicated & cheaper (in this case) than the graphics card, while the graphics card can't figure out how to make a connector.

I read it as a kind of funny comment making a broader point (and a bit of a jab at nVidia), not a rigorous comparison. I think you might be taking it a bit more seriously than was intended.


An old legacy car is definitely not more complicated than designing and manufacturing a cutting edge silicon made for high performance compute.

The price difference is just the free market supply and demand at work.

People and businesses pay more for the latest Nvidia GPUs than for an old car because for their use case it's worth it, they can't get a better GPU from anywhere else because they're complex to design and manufacture en-masse and nobody else than Nvidia + TSMC can do it right now.

People pay less for an old beater car than for Nvidia GPUs, because it's not worth it, there's a lot better options out there in terms of cars and cars are interchangeable commodities easy and cheap to design and manufacture at scale at this point, but there's no better options easier to replace what Nvidia is selling.

Comparing a top GPU with old cars is like comparing apples to monkeys, it makes no sense that doesn't prove any point.


>An old legacy car is definitely not more complicated than designing and manufacturing a cutting edge silicon made for high performance compute.

A car is more complicated than a connector, at least.

Anyways, the rest of your comment is again taking a humorous one-liner way too seriously. Thanks for the econ lesson though, I guess. I liked the part where you explained to me the basics of supply and demand like I am in 5th grade.


>A car is more complicated than a connector, at least.

The connectors on a new car cost more than the connectors on a new GPU part for part.

>I liked the part where you explained to me the basics of supply and demand like I am in 5th grade.

You'd be surprised about the state of HN understanding of how basic things in the world work.


used objects and imports from economically isolated land are traded at meme value, doesn't count.


I am not a Lawyer, or a US resident but I highly suspect this behavior is completely illegal in Europe (and rightfully so in my mind).


This is like 90% of what I need to setup on a server for my personal usage. Issue is I don't do front dev at all so I never really start working on it. Any chance you've open sourced it ? (Or if not opensourced but you're willing to privately share the code, you can reach me at hn [at] manoz [dot] co)


I sent you an email with the code and instructions. I won't share it openly because I don't want to tempt people into finding security flaws for fun.

It's definitely not code that I'm proud of, but it's been serving me well for many years, and might help you get started.


I've contributed in the past to libvirt in order to support some Virtualbox features because some of our customers used VBox. It would have been handy to have this in the past, and have all of our customers use some KVM VMs ;)

Congrats for the work!


Thank you!


I've not used blender but it seems to me that Chrome is doing that too (at least it's doing that on my machine )


I think it's UX that commonly works differently in consumer software vs pro software. I think parent is talking about professional software.

Pro software made for speed and efficiency, you usually want to be able to do things quickly, even if sometimes people not used to the software might screw up. Holding right-click, selecting menu item and releasing I think is one of those things.

In consumer software, users would be confused because maybe they long-press the right-click, drag the mouse a little while holding down then releasing, and the menu would just appear and disappear. Confusing UX for most users, I bet.


It looks like Chrome is doing the pro software then.

Parent said blender was opening the menu onPress, which according to your comment is OK for pro software, Chrome is also doing the menu onPress


Maybe it depends on the platform? For me, on Windows with Chrome, it only opens the context menu once you've stopped holding down the button. In Blender (on Windows), the menu opens as soon as you hold the button.


I think I've seen that on some Linux distros. But on Windows, chrome works onRelease (like all built in windows programs do)


Hum that might explain the situation here. I'm on Ubuntu with KDE


Maybe you should not be the one representing your company at a Congress hearing if you have this behavior..


So only people who never make a mistake should be testifying? That's a pretty small pool.


Congress bears some responsibility in that case; they should stop calling in the CEO for the hearing, who they know won't know the nitty-gritty technical implementation. They should request documents from the technical team involved, and subpoena a representative from it who can speak confidently on its function.


So let me get this straight: The CEO can't possibly be expected to know what goes on at their company, and we should allow them to incentivize internal directors to simply lie to the CEO so the CEO can say whatever they want in front of congress and pretend "they were honestly wrong"


The CEO’s job is high-level strategy. It’s like asking the President how to process an application for SSDI; they haven’t a fucking clue. (Nor should they!)


You can fix it by creating the file `/usr/local/bin/xdg-open` and putting this inside:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    if [[ "${1:-}" = slack://\* ]]; then
        exec /usr/lib/slack/slack --enable-crashpad "$1"
    fi

    exec /usr/bin/xdg-open "$@"
Granted it's not perfect, but at least it fixes the issue on KDE


Does it mean that every form of life on Earth (right now) evolved from the "Parent" of the Comb Jelly ?


No, just animals. Not prokaryotes, archaea, amoebozoa, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal


Not the parent, but some great-grandparent, yes.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_common_ancestor for more info:

> The LUCA is not the first life on Earth; it may have lived among a diversity of other organisms whose descendants all died out. Rather LUCA is the most recent form from which all surviving life on Earth is descended.


No, there are many forks before that one.

If this stuff interests you I would like to recommend Dawkins' 'The Ancestor's Tale', it is pretty accessible and walks you back through time step-by-step.
