Did you mean to say you can activate the switches with one hand simultaneously? That is probably what the above commenter assumed you meant. Since lifting and twisting two switches simultaneously with one hand seems challenging.

Above commenter said _quickly_, not simultaneously

Third, since there's no other plausible explanation for this and China has classified the report.

I think what you're missing is that this is likely in preparation for some sort of AR glasses and something smaller form factor than the Vision Pro that will require transparency so you can see through to the real world etc...

My Mac screen isn't transparent. Why should its UI be?

If there is "some sort of AR glasses and something smaller form factor than the Vision Pro that will require transparency so you can see through to the real world", limit the transparent interface only to that device.

lanna commented on Ask HN: Java why put string in a constant?    · Posted by u/ramsicandra
lanna · 3 months ago
You just made TWO typos: "display-name" vs "display_name" and "_name" vs "name", automatically counter-argumenting your point.

It is also for documentation. With the declared constants, we know all possible values. With plain strings, how am I supposed to know which values to use?

The benefits far outweigh the marginal cost.

I've only ever heard of two ships hitting bridges; both recently, both in the US, both lost power and drifted into the bridge.

At least this bridge fall like a house of cards, I guess because the masts broke first.

lanna commented on First and 2nd gen Nest Thermostats will lose support in Oct 2025   arstechnica.com/gadgets/2... · Posted by u/xattt

"lose support" Is such euphemistic phrasing.

Firstly "lose" is passive. Google is ending support.

But most importantly "support" sounds like they just won't be fixing bugs and security problems. What is really happening is that Google is disabling all online functionality.

"Google is shutting down all online functionality for 1st and 2nd gen Nest thermostats in Oct 2025" would be a much clearer headline.

I would be happy if they worked locally. It is not often that I need to set the temperature remotely, when I am not in the house. But often I am laying in bed at night and don't want to get up and go downstairs to adjust the temperature. Why can't they work on the local network? That would take no resources from Google

Man, I want this, but IBM AT level, 32-bits with at least a 386 and 8MB of RAM.

The IBM AT used an Intel 80286
