In my personal experience, examples do a poor job of explaining the reasoning behind something or the big picture behind something. It depends on the project, obviously, but often examples are fine for simple things but really don’t help with big complex things. Often they also don’t explain the trade offs or when you might choose a the various different options.

In my opinion, good documentation has three parts (four if you include a tutorial too):

First is a document explaining rationale, high level/big picture design, tradeoffs, when to use what. Usually a prose document with some sample code snippets where appropriate. Second, example code showing how to solve different use cases. Finally, an api reference (often auto generated from docstrings).

Different projects need different levels of each of these. For example, a relatively simple library might get away with a few short paragraphs for the prose documentation and maybe the api reference is literally just listing the public functions (if the names and parameter names are descriptive), this can be generated without any additional markup. If the api is complex, then it may need some explanation. Or the text documentation needs to be more detailed.

Obviously I don’t expect this from everyone who release some code online. For small code snippets, I’m happy with a commented example use and appreciative that you released the code at all. However, don’t be surprised if your code doesn’t get used then and if you want me to contribute, then I need to understand your project and without documentation I can’t do that. If I don’t understand your project, I risk that any PR I do is wasted effort and my time is limited (but I’ll happily help projects I use out regardless, where I can. I may need some guidance though)
I kind of regret posting the above, the ensuing discussion was probably not worth it.
The algebraic numbers aren't complete. So you cannot measure the circumference of circles in them, nor does a series like sum(1/k!) converge.

Personally I'd posit finitely generated abelian groups as the nicest structures. Perhaps there is also something to be said for finite algebraically closed fields.

IIRC most "slow the onset" things are basically building up enough "reserve" that the symptoms aren't immeditely obvious.

If you're well educated, alert (maybe from exercise?) and so on then the early signs of dementia may just be less obvious. If you forget a few names but can do the cryptic crossword or run a mile then relatives will not push you to get tested.
>"the hammer and sickle are regarded as symbols of freedom"

Where?

>"Marxism is regarded as a movement to empower the oppressed."

Because it is. That is literally the entire point of Marxism.

Marxism != Communism.

I'm more towards AnCom myself, but Marxism makes some extremely valid points about the exploitation of labor.

I’ve seen the things dementia brains can do to ignore the gaps in reality, and to build a consistent, but fake “reality”, and I wonder which kind of things, if any, is my brain trying to ignore right now, to keep also a consistent reality.
I've found some of the feeling of doing original math without actually discovering new things by 'skipping a level'.
That is, either taking an advanced course or trying to understand an article that is 'above your level'. This will force you to study material at your level, but now with a purpose. When you try to understand a proof, it is because you really want to get the intuition of the proof to apply it somewhere else.
Now let me ask this - if there would be a proposal in Congress to disband Sallie Mae and do away with these bad loans, just not let people take loans that they can't pay - which side of it she would be on? I have little doubt she would claim this is terrible and makes only rich people to afford education and ruin the country and so on. And would never vote for any representative that proposes that. But when she gets exactly what she, and her parents, and everybody around them, enthusiastically supported and voted for - subsidized loans that there's no way they could afford otherwise and that are way beyond her means normally - it's suddenly terrible and somebody else's fault.
Seven important tips to protect your WordPress site from hackers
What Happens After Innovation?
Please take a look at Bookmarklets Context Menu, a WebExtension that allows to execute bookmarklets as privileged scripts:

https://github.com/mems/bookmarklets-context-menu

Not sure if it'll work in the mobile version of Firefox though, works great in desktop.

Not op. Sometimes the environment makes it nearly impossible to do a job hunt with an active job, also one time I was "convinced" that I'm not feeling good in the team so "probably" I should quit, like, right now (they did let me close the laptop though).

I managed to find an okayish job in week, but I consider that an extreme luck. Fear of poverty is a mindset, for some it's stronger, for others it's less troublesome, to me it's strongly connected to childhood memories and not trusting my abilities.
I have impaired vision myself and I find HN to be one of the most accessible sites around. I have set all font sizes to 32-point and do not allow any smaller fonts. Also I have chosen a font that easy to read for me and do not allow sites to select any other fonts. On bad days I disable CSS so I can have my default bright-on-dark color scheme.

Using these settings, HN is a pleasure to read! Other sites suffer, of course, because large fonts destroy their layouts, but those sites are FUBAR (from an accessibility point of view) anyway.
The Next Gen Computer Platform Mu?
For those interested, it seems to use classical grids to align elements, and it is the only way to do it, since there is no mention on coordinates (if I read it thoroughly enough).

void uiGridInsertAt(uiGrid *g, uiControl *c, uiControl *existing, uiAt at, int xspan, int yspan, int hexpand, uiAlign halign, int vexpand, uiAlign valign);

The overall feeling is that it’s a [small] subset of GTK. I think they try to fill an empty cross-platform niche between lightweight and native-looking Tk and heavies like GTK and Qt. Doc could explain how is that better than Tk itself, but it has to be written. The other possibility is that they do it for fun and distinctive use cases are shallow – this is often seen in second order ui kits.
What about reader mode in mobile Safari?

Or maybe some JS bookmarklet (never tried w/ iOS Safari), personally.

I also thought there was an "Accessibility Zoom" that uses 3-fingers (for all iOS, not specific app)?

Yep. At my current place HR allowed me to go and see the doctor if I tell them well in advance and overwork the missing hours.

Funny thing is that I'm very diligent and if they asked me how I feel about _helping them out on the project_ I would've gladly tried to stay longer whenever the pain allowed me to do so, but this way it felt like a slap in the face.
I would love to read this if you come across it.
Are you ready for a futuristic virtual assistant in your pocket?
I love how this project matured, I used it last year for my old G Watch and it ran pretty well, definitively worth checking out if you have a compatible smartwatch as it can be booted once leaving WearOS intact. It uses Libhybris to communicate with some Android libraries but the front end is Linux components like Wayland and QT. You can make Apps in QT which is nice. Notifications work with Asteroid app and the OS feels responsive. You cannot reply to notifications yet. I flashed v1.0 to my G Watch permanently since it fills my needs. The choice of watchfaces is neat too.

Shame that most Wear OS watches don't come with pins for USB access.

Unfortunately this does not solve Wear OS watches short battery life.
Yes, they will have to make do with their huge profit margins, huge free cash flow, dominant market position, and strong balance sheet. I hope they'll be OK!
This article makes me sad. Sad it has so many upvotes for a blatant piece of manipulative propaganda. Sad that hn has been the bated. For those that don’t follow British politics, these politicians are oddly pro Russian. I would like to see the reverse analysis, of pro Russian trolls’ edits on Wikipedia.

Like yourself I have my existential moments. I have been kept awake at night thinking about the many events which take place in the universe at any one point in time.

My understanding of existence, my own significance and life's purpose come from the teachings of Jesus. There is a book in the Bible's Old Testament, Ecclesiastes, which asks the very same questions you are asking. You may find it interesting to read. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+1&...

Mark's Gospel in the New Testament is the shortest of the Gospels and you may find it interesting to read as well if you are interested in a perspective that life is not meaningless. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+1&version=...

I am an old HNer in my 40s and have seen a number of people close to me die. I was with a friend while he died of HIV and lost another good friend to suicide. I said goodbye to my Father several years ago. It is good you are asking these questions now as many don't.
To be brutally honest, the fact he's made over a hundred thousand edits on Wikipedia and the examples you choose to highlight of alleged bias include following WP policies and removing an unsourced claim about a libel suit from a biography underlies the fact that beyond Galloway et al moaning about it and Murray actually suggesting he's part of a government ' “cyber-war” op aiming to defend the “official” narrative against alternative news media', there's not a terrible amount of substance to the criticism. I'm pretty sure I've sided against him (and many other editors) in talk page disagreements over more substantial issues of possible bias than that. Similarly the screenshot suggesting that despite obviously politically disagreeing with them he apparently contributed the majority of the very fair and balanced introduction to the MediaLens article would be a point in his favour for anyone interested in the substance of the encyclopedia rather than going down the Murray rabbit hole . Admiring a figure is not a prerequisite for writing articles on them.

Sure, he has political opinions and wears them on his sleeve, but that applies to pretty much everybody else involved in political Wikipedia.

However, so too do the properly scientific ones, so that does not demonstrate anything at all. The thing to look at is the editors, who they are and whether they indeed edit the journal as claimed.

Thanks. I did a bit of digging around after posting that and found roughly what you describe, that the Referer: is a valuable datapoint, and should probably be a bit more selective.

I suspect it's sufficiently ingrained in existing apps to make it hard to deprecate completely, but something like the path stripping might be a decent compromise.

For cross-origin requests I think there's also a mandatory 'Origin:' header that would identify at least the domain (but not path) a user request was referenced from.

I used to use a firefox addon called RefControl but IIRC it was a casualty of the quantum/webextensions transition. uMatrix has a basic referer spoofing capability, but it's all or nothing for a particular site/scope.
Good to hear that it worked for you!

However, LASIK and similar approaches are not without problems when your vision is really bad (10 diopters or more), so I would recommend to inform yourself thoroughly before taking this step!
My crohn days are over (at least for the diagnosis), but I'm with you on this one. I follow a strict schedule with eating and then just sit around (this usually means breakfast at 7am and then waiting an hour and a half, similar thing for lunch), but whenever an empoyer comes up with "team breakfast" or "early standups" I'm in a difficult situation.

That being said, in my experience HN is really one of the least problematic sites when it comes to accessibility! It even works fine with CSS off. Kudos to the designers!

I recently became more aware of the uses of baking soda and searched online for a list of what people did with it. Same thing with Vaseline another time. Both times you get these weird article written by so-called mothers who list over fifty different uses (not that different, and many dubious, or with obvious unwanted side effects). It's a bit creepy.
Admiring a figure is not a prerequisite for writing articles on them... Sure, he has political opinions and wears them on his sleeve, but that applies to pretty much everybody else involved in political Wikipedia.

Who said you have to admire them? He's openly hostile toward them and taunts them on Twitter. Then makes blatantly unfair edits as we've shown. Remember, we're not talking about posting your political views on your blog. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia.

Intel is too bureaucratic, slow and margin-oriented for the modern world (just like IBM). They tried to produce 10nm processors using an outdated technology and they struggle even now to make it work. Competitors, on the other side, using the newer and more expensive EUV technology, because they don't need super-huge margins. TSMC is already working on 5nm technology, while Intel is trying to fix their 10nm...

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I have cards with the state library, Melbourne city libraries, yarra city council libraries, and a membership with a small private library also in the city.

Firstly, books are still superior to e-readers (which i have and use), and far better than trying to read on a screen. I'll always get the physical copy if i can, and there's still a large number of books which don't have electronic copies. And apart from sci-hub, how else am i supposed to access half of the materials that universities subscribe to if i'm not a member of the library?

Secondly, they provide a quiet space in the city and community where you can go and dedicate to reading, investigation and study without requiring private space (which not everyone has): an egalitarian space. Open to everyone, neither differentiated by money nor access to private space, which is a premium in cities. The libraries variously provide classes, community groups, meeting facilities, IT and technology, television/video facilities,
and event spaces. Yarra libraries has some television screens set up with gaming consoles which I notice the local refugee and public-housing community love to use. There's cafes and eating spaces in at least 3 of the library branches I use. They also provide regularly rotating exhibitions. One provides regular performance music and events.

I value libraries because they maintain an ideal: that knowledge is free, valuable, for the whole community, and that this is important to society, above and separate from private business and the pursuit of money.
The existing HN CSP policy allows inline styles. A bookmarklet which just does the following would work:

document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(d => d.style.fontSize='20px')

I find it odd that mobile browsers don't allow you to set the font size like desktop browsers do.
Of course we're just arguing about semantics here, but I would absolutely argue that under the organisation-as-person metaphor, this video is absolutely not an "action" by the organism, but rather just part of its internal process. I'd say it's similar to how leading a military exercise does not actually constitute military action, unless you end up actually invading some place.
Yes, I meant "Indeed, they are not; It is not (the case that ...)". They being Stalin etc. The Stalin is not an abstract concept, communism is. And to liken communists to pigs is a metaphor.
Apart from being curious why your comment is downvoted, did you consider using e.g. wx or tk? They both had their disadvantages last time we checked (~10 years ago), but it would be nice to hear someone’s opinion on them in this thread.
On mobile Firefox, when I pinch zoom on HN, it means I end up having to constantly scroll horizontally to read anything. Maybe that's why?
I set the zoom level to 130% in Firefox for this site only. It is persistant. I don't have to do it every time I visit the site. And it doesn't effect other sites.
Me and My Numb Thumb: A Tale of Tech, Texts and Tendons (NY Times)
Not the parent, but just a few thoughts:

He is the CEO of a technology company.

The necessary knowledge about the existence of content blockers as well as the technological literacy to set them up is probably a given.

He also probably has a high value attached to his attention, given that he is in quite a power position. This, I'd argue, would make a greater reflection of media habits more likely.

Additionally there might be the security/privacy aspect. Executives should really focus on security as their devices might be of greater value than your average grandmother's Scrabble tablet.
On iOS, it's possible for App Store apps to add actions to Safari's share sheet that execute arbitrary JavaScript on the current page. This can act as a substitute for bookmarklets. (There's no way to have extensions run automatically, though.)

From a quick search of the App Store, here are two apps that may help – I haven't tried either of them, though:

Font Size App Extension: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/font-size-app-extension/id10...

Safari Snippets (lets you add custom JS snippets to execute): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/safari-snippets/id1126048257...

I'm assuming that by "I don't use apps", you just mean you don't want to use a specialized HN reader app. If you don't want to install any apps at all, I guess the above won't help… though you could always write your own app.

edit: The above may be unnecessary if, as mike-cardwell suggested, the issue isn't that the bookmarklet isn't executing, but that it tries to add a style tag and isn't allowed.
Knuth's stance on bugs and TeXs goals are pretty well documented online.
Living in Finland when I was a child, one of the hilights every week was a trip to the local library with mom. First the comic books, then novels, then the crazy amount of music as CD's that you were by law able to rip to your computer. The local library had a massive influence to my personal growth and if you needed some book, film or album, you just talked with the librarians and you got it in a couple of days.

Such a nice service.
Where's competing processors?
You seem to be completely uninformed regarding the actual implementation of the law. Any criticism of anything can and will be deleted under the scope of the law. Want to criticise any policy?

Hatespeech. Criticise religion? Hatespeech. It would of course never hold up in court, but that doesn't matter, for social media platforms deleting anything that could be construed as hate by anyone who feels offended is the path of least resistance.

You are not made accountable for breaking laws that already existed, you are being censored for something that is not illegal, never was, still isn't, but could offend someone if it's disagreement on a sensitive topic. It's the end of any sort of free speech on social media in Germany.
porn was shot at their place and it's now a hazmat site

That is a ridiculous statement. What about "regular" couples having sex in an AirBnB? Or only pornstars have sex?
Yes, there definitely were more factors that went into that decision. But destroying factories and shipyards in populated cities wasn't the primary factor that went into the choice of weapon.
The subtlety of a normal conversation might have been lost due to the writer's poor writing skills. This is just a speculation though as I have faced similar problems in jotting down my views.
