Thanks. This is a great piece of advice. I loved playing soccer and cycling when I was growing up. I should start again with that :)
Ah yes, I had forgotten about that one—it’s definitely the closest font I’ve found to Triplicate, and its serif style is partially slab and partially true serif (to a similar degree to Triplicate, really).
1080p IS 2K, though; 1080p is 1920x1080, and 1920 is 5% less than 2K (and the 4K screens are actually 3840, which is 5% less than 4K)
I have got a 55inch 4k Kogan curved screen TV which I drive via HDMI, so only 30Hz but it doesn't matter for any of my use cases.

It is totally awesome, really crisp and the curve makes a noticeable difference on the desk to bring the edges in.

Cost AUD$500 plus delivery, extremely hard to beat at that price.

Plus I have a 32 inch 3K landscape and a 24 inch HD portrait, set up emails and whatsapp web on the 24 inch and do work on the other two.
It's good that the less shopper-favorable produce is put to use, but I'm always curious about the somewhat analogous-to-ugly-fruits case with milk: Looking at the dairy fridge and choosing solely by expiration date.

Naturally, I choose the latest to expire to maximize my options within the consumption time-frame. And I think everyone does?

But do you actually care about food waste if every time you make that decision the earlier-stocked milks that are still around, and set to expire sooner, are pretty much guaranteed to not be purchased?

I guess I have no idea of the scale here, or even how much is wasted. It just seems like there would naturally be some sort of price-tiering of dairy products based on expiry to incentivize what might be a better overall consumption.
They're something of a plague in my home town as well, they're strewn all over the pavement/sidewalk/footpath(/whatever regional word), even when there was barely enough room for pedestrians.

Perhaps the users/distributors of these things aren't trying to come across as inconsiderate, but that's certainly the end result.

Pedestrians need their own space. These scooters shouldn't mix with pedestrian traffic at all

Not allowing them to use bike lanes seems crazy but I guess that doesn't fit the idea of them being a last mile option.

It takes 10-15min to walk Central Station to Eagle St so a scooter replacing a taxi/rideshare/bus and getting there in 5min makes sense.

Bike lanes in the CBD would be a good idea - instead we have bus lanes.
Sounds like you stopped using it, could you share why? I'm curious if their service was good.
That sounds reasonable. So if you are charged too little, the worst that can happen is they send you another bill?
Cool. It looks like the one place I'd seen these terms used is a subcategory of one of a few different but related uses.

Long ago I spent a good bit of time in Rotterdam Harbor. What I distinctly remember is that when I first got there it was all a huge mystery to me, some kind of machine that moved by itself without any indication of what was going on and what would happen next. Then, over time I started to learn how to 'read' the dockside, and a good part of that was learning how to interpret the handsignals of the various crews to know when it was ok to pass and when it definitely wasn't.
There's nothing wrong with the original IBM VGA console font, for that matter. Font perception is a very subjective thing, though.

Also, I think increase in screen resolution contributes somewhat. I find that I'm a lot pickier about fonts after getting a 4K display.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
async stuff is a bit suspicious to me. I use an async web server to command an async websocket client and sometimes you get hard to debug problems like throwing an exception in one library causing the other to stop working. That's never happened to me in node.
I still usually write no more than 80 chars a line, so yeah, horizontal space means very little to me too.
> "lets say, that NYC didn't write off 5 billion to Amazon. Could the city have budgeted more for the failing subway and nasty harbor given that they received more in taxes? Maybe"

You do realize NYC is not collecting less taxes because Amazon came? If Amazon goes to another city, they collect 0. if Amazon gets a tax break, they collect 0. now you could argue that Amazon provides some sort of extra burden on city resources, though they would also collect more taxes from the employees and other services rendered.
Regulate? Probably not.

Ignore? Absolutely.

IoT Is the Real Threat to Humanity, Not AI…
Here in New Zealand the Chinese supermarkets seem to stock a lot of it. The prices are lower and the vegetables still taste fine, just look uglier.
Exactly, if it would of had solid state tech, I’m sure they would of mentioned it, that’s why I was unsure. It’s interesting to see the raw, competitive, old snake oil tactics in such a bleeding edge, socially useful, new technology. I cry a little for humankind.
One of the early proponents of using proportional fonts for code was Bjarne Stroustroup - his "The C++ Programming Language" books all do that, and he briefly explains it in the intro as being more readable, and urges the readers to give it a go. I wasn't convinced, personally, but the idea was already around then.
Slightly OT:
Iosevka Term Light is my favorite font for the terminal. It looks pretty on a HiDPI screen. Also, it’s the only font that wouldn’t break box-drawing Unicode glyphs for me, e. g. those used by the tree command.

Just speculating here without any knowledge. But this question made me think. So let's say food industry has lots of "ugly" (whatever that means) fruits that are not sold directly but used in other products. And because of that they are sold much cheaper. Then along comes someone, and notices that:

"hey theres a huge amount of fruits that are being sold very cheap. Is there a way i could sell then for more?"

So you start a spreading idea that ugly fruit get's waisted and this this is not eco friendly etc. And next thing you know someone on HN is asking "where do i get these ugly fruits" :)

And yes it can be sold cheaper than normal fruits, but if it's more profitable than turning them in to jam, then it's a win.

By the way, not saying that it's wrong, just an interesting way to manipulate people to not being picky and eat all the fruits.
Twitter has had enough people posting in anger, that it has become culturally acceptable for anyone to do it.

I can't help but wonder about the upbringing of the folks who act out in anger, in public (posting on the internet is public).

Would you talk this way around your parents, peers, kids? I hope not. The internet is not any different - they're someone's parents, peers and kids, reading your posts.
I think it depends on the kind of programmer? As a web dev few of my files are more than double my screen height, so it's one keyhit to see the bottom. But, I usually want two or even three things widthwise - perhaps a JavaScript and template file, or css and the output, etc. My horizontal space is more valuable than my vertical.
I have never done this, and I gently suggest you stop. Do you really need those extra few days of milk expiration? If the milk with the soonest expiration date was the only one available, would you buy it or just walk out without milk? A good rule to avoid tragedy of the commons situations is to think “what if everyone did as I do?”. This is a pretty classic example here.
If you like bold fonts, try Terminus bold at around 16pt.

Also, the old VGA font is surprisingly nice and legible. Can be had here:

Nice observation, I haven't done statistics on the linked postportems myself yet. Please note that your observation might also be due to the fact that AWS has a far larger market share and did not provide managed Kubernetes until recently (so people roll their own). We can therefore assume that any random sample of Kubernetes postmortems would be biased towards seeing more incidents with Kubernetes on AWS (compared to other cloud providers).
Just as a data point: I tried vertical display but didn't like it because I like to have two panels of code open next to each other on the same monitor a lot of the time.

E.g. if I'm calling a function I love to be able to have its definition up on the same screen at the same time. Also when writing commit messages, love to be able to have the diff up next to the COMMIT_EDITMSG.

Plus, now I think about it, I don't think I very often operate on functions that don't fit vertically on my landscape screen.
I have a 43" 4K Viewsonic as my primary display and it does work pretty well. I actually wanted something between 32" and 43" but there are basically no options for 4K displays in that range. I'd like to try something around 36-37" if it existed and I wish I'd been able to find a matte panel at this size but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Previously I was using a 32" and it was usable at 100% in Windows but some text was a little small.

On its own it fits comfortably on my desk but my second display is a 27" and I have to put it in portrait to fit both with my current desk setup.

Dude writes a massive article on monitors but Willy nilly strews his windows across the display, with random sized gaps between them. Gives me a bit of a chuckle - to each their own but I obsess over getting every pixel of real estate my display offers me, so I always thought it was odd to peer over a coworker's shoulder and see something like the first image in this blog.
Which point? That it's being wasted, or that it's being repurposed? Because meat production sure sounds very wasteful to me.

I have a 34 inch LG 4k monitor cost about 400$, connected to my laptop. My only wish was if it was curved.

I eyeballed with the UHD ultrawide curved one but it was too pricy :)

Edit: funny, that when the heating automation for my home turns on with some electromagnetic switch, my screen goes black for a second or glitches the image. I suspect the USB-C > display port converter.
Yes, a lot of people get tax refunds, but a lot of them have exactly zero refund or due amount. It will at least help those.
My experience with Grocery Outlet leads me to think that their produce is usually stuff that's close to expiring, rather than things that are blemished.
Not a fan of proportional fonts for coding, but the point about refactoring affecting indentation is well worth reiterating. If you have ever dug through source control history, you know that there's value in not touching the lines unnecessarily. Unfortunately, most common coding styles that advocate lining things up do this wrong, such that a single rename can affect several times as many lines that are completely unrelated.
If it's UHD (3840x2160) it's going to be exact. If it's actual 4K (4096 × 2160) then it won't be sharp at Full HD resolution (1920x1080) because the pixels don't align.

But many monitors have Marketing 4K which is UHD.
A lot of it ends up in Fijian supermarkets.
It’s not semantics. The tax write-off comes from new tax revenue. You simply do not have it otherwise. It is not taken off an existing budget.

Argue as much as you want about corporate motives (and I agree with you on incentives being not ideal, even though Amazon doesn’t “do” profits), it has no bearing on how tax write-offs work.
What is the damage? What does it matter which fruits are bought first at the supermarket?
I did the same when I was at university and couldn't help my parents with computer on daily basis anymore. Looking back now, 14 years later - it was a very good decision. They mostly use the browser, some graphic programs and libre office, it doesn't really matter which system runs under that.

The've had some version of Kubuntu installed ever since.
Seconded, Inconsolata at small sizes looks awful on Windows.

I'm surprised that so many of these 'programming' fonts do not have dotted or slashed zeros. For a programming font, that's a must-have requirement for me. I edited Droid Sans Mono, so that its zero had a slash, and now I use it as my go-to font for all my IDEs and terminals. However after browsing this lot, I'm tempted to give Go Font a try.
Ironically it was only yesterday that someone asked "Ask HN: Why do tutorial writers combine 10 technologies when 1 or 2 would do?"[1]

I think this is a perfect example of how not to write a tutorial. It doesn't actually teach anything - instead it is effectively a set of commands that someone should type in exactly and it will work.. hopefully.

I think this point in the introduction sums up this approach:

I’d like to point out that the broken branch wasn’t working for some (still) unknown reason related to versioning between when we set up the system and when we upgraded some of the components including nodejs.

and later:

Note for the app we created we used nodejs v8.10.0 and npm v6.4.0, although installing newer versions shouldn’t be an issue.

So.. they don't know why it broke, but any newer version should be fine.

It depends a lot on where are you from and how experienced you are (which translates to how much money do you earn).

A tip from country where the price difference matters:
Look for a TV, not PC monitor. They're often cheaper while having the same ports to connect it to a computer. But beware - some of them have always-on overscan which means you will get blurry effect and cropped picture. Make sure you can disable that (look for overscan, PC mode or something like that) before buying. Testing it on laptop before buying seems to be a good idea too - my mother's TV has option to disable overscan, but only on old VGA input. On HDMI it is always on anyway.
The Dell website says the P4317Q is IPS so the author might be wrong here.
I meant blocked by search engines, social media and parental control services whose algorithms and employees wouldn't necessarily consider the cultural context. If we leave out the context some of the works could be considered text book examples for content that is blocked.
That's fine for a local store, but what about a regional chain? Or even a national chain? What price to they advertise? Or do they need to do different advertising per tax district? (which could be city, county and/or state)
My personal setup, 3x monitors:

iMac Pro 5k,
LG 5K,
Dell Ultrasharp 4K 27” in vertical layout/stand.

It’s very difficult to go back once you use a retina/5k screen. No ultra-wide, 4K etc can compare in font rendering. I’d replace the Dell if the LG or iMac weren’t so expensive.
Sure yes - I meant borgcfg, not borg - stupid me...
Two data points I have. My mother ran accounting for canneries. Turns out tomatoes that are too ripe for market get canned. Tomatoes that are too damaged for canning become hog food.

And a friends mom worked as at a Potato processing factory, 6 million lbs of potato's in, 4 million lbs of potato products out. 1 million lbs of hog food out. The remainder is dirt and rocks. This factory had a machine to cut damaged bits out of french fries with air knives.

I think the majority of waste is consumer side.

This was actually (part of) MUJI's concept at launch. An example is selling broken-off mushrooms:

"For example, there was a poster of dried shiitake mushrooms that were slightly damaged during the production process. In the Japanese market, only perfectly round shiitake were sold, but MUJI sold imperfectly shaped shiitake because they taste just as delicious. In another poster, the copy reads “The entire fish is salmon.” This is straightforward copy reminding readers that salmon is delicious head to tail, so all of it should be eaten. Even as the Japanese economy moved closer and closer toward an economic bubble, we had positive feedback from so many consumers back then who wanted to focus on the simple things in life."

It shows that you can package almost anything as long as you do it with conceptual integrity. If you sell discounted goods, don't try to pass it off as as good as something more expensive, because that is not credible or interesting. Emphasize that it's less expensive, and why. When I google "conceptual integrity" which is funny in a way because I'm not a developer, and also interesting because it shows that many foundational ideas are cross-disciplinary.
Hi, I'm the author of programmingfonts.org.
Operator Mono certainly is pretty. I always loved consolas on Windows (honestly, it's the only thing that rendered properly on Win7). That said, I can only include fonts that are freely available, or where the owner of the font allows me to (in the case of Input Mono). I have tried for a few others, but haven't been so lucky there. So, no proprietary or otherwise commercial fonts. I do try to feature them on the blog though.
There are always a few tell tale signs that audiophiles can pick out. In an analog mix, you should never expect two instruments to share a quantization... But that's what you hear with compression. The cymbal quantization is dependent on the guitar line and the tom/kick bleeds into the bass drum. The attack of the bass bleeds into the guitar, etc. If compressors had access to the raw channels, this is not so much a problem - you can keep each band stable. But they don't, they operate on the frequency domain of the entire mix.
And by the same token; in fact on this thread, there are many that feel the same way towards macOS and Windows. Plenty of anecdotes right here that could be construed as FUD. I use all 3 platforms frequently and I can tell you that they are all as “bad” as one another.
Further down she mentions it:

"When produce is too far gone to sell & there's no processing market (say, melons), it often gets fed to livestock."
I'm not an American. I think your constitution basically sucks, with the mitigating factor that it was very practical and relatively democratic compared to other states at the time it was written.

One of the huge criticisms that I have is that you can't get rid of an administration. Impeachment seems to be virtually impossible, whatever Trump does or did. And even then you get a vice president who ran on the same ticket and profited from the same criminal behavior.

In Germany, we can get rid of the chancellor within days or weeks, depending on the procedure. We also can't have split governments sabotaging everything. Every vote counts the same etc.
Stop looking at only the bay area. Google has offices in Pittsburgh, Kirkland, Austin, and Boulder. If you are willing to work at one of those locations, you can get pretty close to getting everything you want.

This seems flawed in that you're encouraging companies to produce milk that lasts longer above all else. I'd rather they prioritize quality. If there's a brand that tastes better to me, I'm likely to buy their milk over milk that lasts longer. My impressions of how each company treats their livestock and the size/locality of the company plays a part, too, but my knowledge there is limited.

To ensure it doesn't go bad, I purchase in smaller quantities. I'm unlikely to buy a full gallon of milk at once.
> but unless it’s time actually working with your team on a real project..

I've ranted about this before on HN, but that's very much illegal in my neck of the woods. As soon as someone does useful work for you, they're an employee. YMMV but you can't expect new candidates to do actual work until you've hired them.

There are plenty of programming assignments, exercises or questions you can have them do instead.
Iterators and generators are powerful and can make code much cleaner/more declarative. Especially when used with async/await.

If anyone is interested, I recently released a real-time WebSocket library (Node.js and front end) which only uses Async Iterators to stream data (no event listener callbacks):

Feedback welcome.
I do this and the main reason is that milk with the greatest number of days has also been on the shelf for the least amount of time and consequently has probably had fewer things happen to it - like the refrigerator door being left open and the milk being warmed (slightly).

For other items I reach in and take items from behind the first row for similar reasons since the retailer may have put returned items (which might be slightly spoiled or damaged) up front. This is also the reason I never take the last item of anything.

So there's more too it than simple expiration dates. Retailer subterfuge is also a factor.

Ask HN: Taking control of the AirBnb router
I was recently thinking about becoming a host on Airbnb and one thing hit my mind.
When you get to an Airbnb you usually would get a password for wifi. So basically taking full control of the router would be as easy as reseting and setting to the same Name/Password combination with having full control of it. I personally lack creativity and would like to hear what you could actually do with that control over router?
Why should B612 be better for programming than Inconsolata, Consolas, or Source Code Pro?

For that matter, I don't think you can say that any one of those fonts is better than any other, for anyone but yourself. I find Inconsolata too narrow and cramped on the screen, compared to the wider SCP. And the cute lowercase "t" in Inconsolata is by comparison lost on me after 8 hours of coding, and I don't notice in absence in SCP.

Browsers tend to use their own inbuilt font rendering code, which can be different from the OS. I know for a fact that some of the fonts shown at app.programmingfonts.org do not render that well inside apps on Windows 10.
Since last week, I started leaving my macbook at the office. That made me to spent more time to other hobbies, and except a couple of times where I felt I really needed it (import photos from the camera, etc), the week was quite fine without it.
I upvoted you, but you're wrong. 24bit audio depth matters, especially in jazz and classical recordings. You notice both subharmonics and superharmonics missing. Particularly when their phase is slow in time.
