vim-athena would automatically move your cursor towards the command buttons whenever it made a popup appear

i thought that was genius, until i upgraded to vim-motif, which would instead move the popup to where your mouse cursor is

There was a thread on it a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47040524

Though I don't know if you can count it as a "buried lede" if the first paragraph of the article is dedicated to it, with a big clickable banner, haha!

I feel like Nvidia Omniverse's main innovation is that they call themselves an 'industrial metaverse platform' even though their product is practically not much different from a game engine.

In the chart, it says 大海 (dàhǎi, lit. big sea) above "SEA", which means 'ocean'.

Yes, I know, but the intended audience can't read 大海.

The chart and the article are both created by Wired; it's strange for them to refer to him one way in the chart and another way in the article.

I'm curious about the ethnic makeup of the "team leader" level. One of them is called "Ted", and seems to also be called 特德 ["te de"]. The 特德 could just be because everyone in the upper levels is Chinese, but the English-language post from Ted shown in the article doesn't really suggest a native English speaker. (And does suggest an emotional loyalty to China.)

Amani doesn't sound like a Chinese name or like the English name of a Chinese person.

"Amani" is an East African name

The easily replacable parts feature sounds like it'd work great in a university context. The uni's service desk could stock up on replacement parts and fix the phones right there instead of having to send it in for repairs.

If e.g. someone's mainboard breaks, they can just give them a new phone and take in the old one, and then use the remaining parts to repair other employees' phones with working mainboards.

Same as any other major employer, surely? At least, you’re describing how it works at my previous employer (large private enterprise).

Universities in the Netherlands usually do not have the free cash for stocking up on parts, in general they take them in your get a loaner and they repair it afterwards or send it back to the manufacturer. But i guess it is a plus the design team is in the same country.

I'm sure a university should be able to find a couple of thousand EURs floating around somewhere.

Maktone is so good! I remember hearing one of their songs in a GBA intro[1] and it still gets stuck in my head sometimes...

I mean, to an extent... like it would still give passengers an earlier opportunity to correct course.

If they got off at the next stop after troisdorf they could take the local bus back to Troisdorf (ten minute wait worst-case).

At later stations they could get on the train in the opposite direction (30 min wait worst-case).

i'm a little bit sad the kernel diagram background is gone

That's upsetting. Being able to do templating without using JavaScript was a really cool party trick.

I've used it in an unfinished website where all data was stored in a single XML file and all markup was stored in a single XSLT file. A CGI one-liner then made path info available to XSLT, and routing (multiple pages) was achieved by doing string tests inside of the XSLT template.

I think that convention depends on the language, not the currency.

For example, in German it's usually written postfix, but in Dutch it's usually prefix.
