>It's because macOS implements kinetic scrolling in the toolkit

Which is the proper way to do it.

Other vendors wanted to emulate macOS’s inertial scrolling but they had to stay compatible with all sorts of legacy APIs that only knew mouse events, so some of them cut corners and started sending these fake mouse events from the driver, to be the first on the market with “macOS-like scrolling”™.

Of course this is very much a bolted-on solution, which leads to all sorts of nuisances like what’s described in the parent comment, and contributes to the general sad state of trackpad behaviour on Windows and Linux.

They’ve pretty much cornered themselves, because fixing it would require a coordinated effort from the hardware/driver vendors, the OS vendors and the UI toolkit vendors. It’s just unlikely to happen unless you own the whole stack like Apple does.
How can he delegate hiring?
I think this intuition generalizes to almost everything in life, and to discussions on the Internet in particular. That is, I don't think I've ever seen anything productive coming from not taking what people say at face value.
I wonder if the extra cash back for Apple Pay will help spread the adoption of contactless payment. I imagine consumers might shop more at places that take it for the extra cash, and more vendors may start accepting contactless to lure those customers. I guess this depends on how many people end up using the card.
This is a terribly written article. Needs some serious editing.

What does this even mean???

In the human brain the hippocampus is actually 2 hippocampuses, one for each hemisphere. They are a little curled structures like two 'C' facing each other with the top of one nested in the hollow of the other. Where the end of one C nests inside the other there's a region called the dentate gyrus. In the dentate gyrus there are small granular cells. Beneath this layer are stem cell capable of becoming neurons.

Most of the activty of the dentate gyrus birthing new neurons is in during early development and when a baby. During these times there's a stream neurons from the sub-granular zone (beneath the granular cells in the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus). The perceptions of the external environment and the internal physiological state modulate the rate of survival of these new neurons.

It's kind of open in the sub-granular zone and the stem cells are able to move freely and assume multiple intermediate cell architectures before finally becoming dentate granule neurons that migrate to and integrate with the existing hippocampal circuitry along the other parts of the two nesting C shapes. They're even somewhat glia-like during part of this intermediate development. It's a complex process that's easy to interrupt. Most of the cells die and do not become integrated into the hippocampus.

So, to get to and restate the question: how do neuroactive chemicals and things like ECT potentially alter the rate of new sub-granular zone stem cells? If the current development state of the cell has receptors or the glia around it are effected by chemicals that bind to those receptors it's easy to see how things could be thrown off.

It is not necessarily a good thing to increase the rate of cell survival of new neurons in the adult. The rate of new neurons has important effects on the ability of the neuronal circuits in the rest of the hippocampus (involving CA1, CA3, etc) to do the types of memory encoding tasks researchers call pattern separation and pattern completion. So while there are indeed chemical and electrophysiological ways to increase the the survival rate of new neurons there should be reasons to believe the balance needed to be adjusted up.

Just as a throwaway, THC is one of the chemical compounds found to increase new dentate granual neuron survival and integration.
And what exactly would prevent Apple from using the same scheme in the UK and Europe at large?
I've done something in the same vein, but not so detailed. Say I'm out for dinner and they offer desert. I have a sweet tooth, so I look at the menu. If it sounds absolutely great, I'll give in. But if it appears to be just OK, I say to myself "I'll save those calories for something better another day."

Likewise, if potato chips are served with a meal -- if I ate them I'd get some marginal pleasure from it, but I can think of 20 ways to get more pleasure from the same number of calories.

Mentally, I'm not denying myself pleasure; I'm banking it for future pleasure. The overall effect is I have fewer low-yield calories and fewer calories overall.
The take-away for me seemed to be that methods of preservation and preparation were destroying these cells, leading to a situation where scientists suspected they didn't exist.

This seems to explain why that situation happened, nothing more.
Ask HN: Why is AWS better than Azure (or vice versa)?
My own opinion is skewed due to some funny and not-so-funny experiences with Azure Germany (which claimed to be GDPR compliant but has since Oct '18 been discontinued, forcing us to migrate).

I am interested in your opinion regarding why (and how) Azure or AWS is more suited to your demands than the other.

TIL he already does! Most excellent, don't hesitate furthering his project.
I "stopped" frequently, sometimes for months at a time, and planned to quit "someday". Finally, the first time I tried to actually "quit" I started again in less than 24 hours.

I was so disgusted with myself that I quit in disgust...successfully. Not sure how I tricked my brain this way, and the previous successful "stop but not quit" experience surely helped, but essentially successfully quit within 36 hours of my first attempt.

> A national policy that actually encourages competition

I'm all for improving the Internet and dunking on large ISPs, but what does this mean? Specifically what kind of national policy would foster competition (regulation tends to favor monopolies, right?)? Also, don't these private networks and marketplaces constitute competition? Or are you talking specifically about the network edge while the article is talking about the backbone?

This article has me thinking that there is potentially a lot of economic efficiency to be unlocked by these sorts of marketplaces--basically routing based on economics, but maybe this is antithetical to net neutrality ("pay to play" internet routing)?
I had the same reaction. I started pulling my hair out at: "There are also tons inefficient ways"...
No, "inflation" refers to a specific episode in the very early history of the universe. Or rather, in some models of this.

Much slower expansion continued and continues today, and if you look really carefully is slightly accelerating not decelerating right now.

m/s, or comparing to the speed of light, isn't really a great way to measure this. Points far away from us are moving away, and faster the further you go; we know of no limits to this.
Clever concept. I wonder if they'll publish any more information on how their service works. Things like what this 'route shader' is that people can read without having to go through Email-Our-Sales-Team shit.
That American Express one looks nice, though reading about the points feels like a shell game. I think I could use it simply enough just for gas and groceries. The site was really trying to push me towards one of the $95/yr upgrades though.
Where are you reading that they've revoked the certs? I've not seen anything that says indicates they've done so.
What company is unilaterally considered better than FANG? I honestly can't think of one. I hope you're not referring to some banking or crypto startup because, well...
Nothing, except that then their card would have 0% acceptance.

Much harder sell to get people to get the card if no merchants accepts it, and harder to get merchants to take it if nobody has one. There's a reason why the credit card market is almost entirely American Express, MasterCard, and Visa.

If they wanted to pay higher cashback than the standard interchange rates allow, they'd be charging merchants more than they're charged for accepting MasterCard or Visa, which means you'll end up with at most spotty acceptance like American Express.
The reason some of this automation exists is because modern airplanes have, extremely rough corner cases.

In particular, the very thing that is causing the MAX incidents is one of those features that is designed to ADD stability.

The main issue however is that the system is both reading too few external sensors, and is also not reacting to contradictory human inputs.

An ideally designed system might have the following features:

* Read data from ALL installed sensors that might be applicable.
* If data from sensors is not within a reasonable bound,
scream bloody murder about that for a human to make a decision.
* If human input contradicts the intended direction of the plane,
scream bloody murder about that for a human to make a decision.

Potential decisions might include designating one or more inputs as faulty, or entirely disabling the function in question. Such an operating mode SHOULD be an exception and should be very obvious for anyone looking at the plane / systems.
Totally true. This is why I got excited for Apple TV+ for a minute. A single interface to access to all of these services is totally worth my money.

I often thought about building something like this, but always came to the conclusion that the potential legal problems are not worth it. justwatch.com is a life saver when it comes to figure out where to get the content from. +1 for justwatch.com!

I linked the wikipedia article to show the main two competing theories. I don't see how direct realism could possible be the case, though, given what we know about perception.

> I also don't see any answer in the quora article to the question of why "these hallucinations seem consistent enough to generate a shared world/consensus reality"

From David Pearce's answer:

"Natural selection ensures that awake world-simulations share similarities. Hence the misconception of a shared experience of external reality. It’s fitness-enhancing, but delusive."

An analogy would be each player in a game has their own map of the territory, but overtime, only the players with the maps which reflected the territory accurately enough to continue playing and succeeding in the game would exist.
Yeah. These are always low priority because they are not from paying customers right?

Except they impact your customers directly.

Bonus point: they are customers you can easily talk to and watch how they work. Super fast feedback loop !

Want a group to test super fast prototyping and "go live" ? These people are round the corner, will love you for it. They are the perfect place to train a team in velocity...
from what i understand, pesticides weren't being used in a big way until the 90's, so the "(including pesticides)" doesn't seem true.
I would bet that mercury toxicity is incredibly underdiagnosed, especially if it's not acute.

Fatigue, insomnia, and a host of other symptoms are fairly common and not easy to spot as a part of a bigger problem.

Anecdata: when I went to a large hospital they laughed off my idea that I have heavy metal poisoning and didn't even have the facilities to test for it. Only months later after visiting a naturopath and getting tested did my suspicions get confirmed. This case will never be on any official health records.

Nice! Found one small issue: I can't search for a flight number with less than three digits. Example: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DLH1
It's good to know that you pick up different aircraft types for the same flight on different days in the recent past or the near future. For certain flights, they might usually be on an Airbus A-320, but sometimes they might be on a Boeing 737-800 or 737-900.

However, I'd like to see the option of choosing a date or date range, if that was possible. I might want to go back further than just one or two weeks, for example.
The FEE is a libertarian think-tank, and quite comfortably to the right.
This is the typical philosopher going one (well, at least one) step too far. If I cut off my hand, I'll experience my hand being cut off, people will see my hand cut off and surgeons could try to stitch it back. To qualify reality as a shared illusion is fine after a night of drinking. To hold such a view in face of independent viewers perceiving essentially the same events without having to communicate is ludicrous. That perception is imperfect and that people can disagree does make a proof of delusion.
People underestimate the rigidity of how the human system operates. We imagine alternative futures and believe we have the power to create them, without considering that we have to operate our emotional, mental and physical systems differently to achieve what we desire.
If the author and others haven't seen "BetterTouchTool" for Mac, there might be some useful code or inspiration to come from it.

It has a "multitouch live view" debug window that displays exact pixel touch locations and shapes.

Let's put it this way: we know for a fact that what you feel and think can be influenced through electrical, chemical and mechanical interventions to the brain. Given the extent of the "circuit bending" capability that medical science has observed, it's hard to think of a mind as something other than just the runtime state of the brain that hosts it.
That's interesting, I'll try to keep that in mind as well! Especially since I just ate a goddamn can of Pringles out of gluttony.
There would be many, many more not that old aircraft out there in storage that will be much, much cheaper to organise and insure a film shoot for.
Presumably the parent is referring to dry beans, which aren't exactly fun to process by hand. I grow them commercially and when we want to thresh even a small amount (i.e. nothing close to what one would want to sustain themselves on) for a moisture sample without having to take the combine to the field, it is a lot of work. Same goes for wheat. Anything that normally goes through a combine, really.

Theoretically there should be nothing stopping one from growing any of those crops in small scale, assuming the right climate and soil conditions. There are small scale separating units that can be used to deal with the above. But it is tough to compete with the economies of scale that commercial operations have. These crops in particular are probably the most efficiently grown farm products of all. The cost of growing them at home will scare away most.
For that use case, why not just look at the seat back pocket safety instructions that will have the model?
That's interesting, did you have a lot of small files or large files?

I don't know if it's an option for you, but have you considered something like rsync from each server to a central backup server and then running restic/borg/whatever on that server? Sometimes that works out nicely too, and would be less impactful to other services on the machine.

What did you switch to instead of restic, if you don't mind me asking?

There's another factor that I think the OP fails to account for and that's washing produce before cooking and consumption. It's a habit I've been in for as long as I can recall cooking with produce, which I probably picked up from my parents, and have seen in just about every kitchen I've been in.

As far as I recall, it was less out of a concern over pesticide residue, but more to make sure all soil was removed from the produce before consumption. That latter point is very important! It _sucks_ to bite into a grain of sand when eating a salad because I neglected to wash the lettuce well. And even if the trace levels of pesticides were close to the unsafe chronic threshold, washing the produce to remove remaining trace dirt is, IMO, likely to take those trace levels of pesticides down far enough that I don't need to worry.
That'd be awesome. BTW, some flight tracking services do show detailed information about the airplane, like service time (age), etc... I might give it a try
That sort of minimalist looking webpage using a big round font for the headers really does make it hard to absorb the gist of the post - sorry, have I overreacted? Perhaps a less fleeting writing style could have set up a more concrete thesis that would deliver a conclusion to their statement.

That last bit is actually quite relevant - due to law of triviality and such there will always be bikeshedding, but the way to cut through that (in my opinion) is to clearly set a scenario, set an agenda, open with a problem and set the dialog up to resolve the problem. This is why I have begun (usually) refusing any meetings without a clearly outlined agenda, and when agendaless meetings get an agenda sometimes I'll duck out of the meeting and submit feedback in writing _to_ the agenda. This is also why I have a bit of an issue with this article, it is titled in such an irrelevant manner that it can't help but generate bikeshedding around it - the title is good and catchy sure, but I really don't understand how it relates to the actual meat of the article (which does raise some relevant points).

If the suggestion is that naming (adding a short descriptor) to... "stuff" makes it easier to keep discussions about that stuff on topic then please back it up with an example, provide some justification, instead the article reaches ~95% then doing a hard right to inject a catchy quote that seems unrelated to the rest of the verbiage.

I never get how this happens. Putting your website behind Cloudflare is easy as pie and it works amazingly well, even on the free plan. when traffic is rapidly increasing you can just forcefully cache all your pages and handle these hugs of death without going down.
Steam has a lot of games for OSX. It certainly wasn’t a priority of Apple, but Mac gaming is a “thing”
You need it in case you have EMV issues as well, or for lots of older little Square payment places, or heck most gas stations.
They’re not. DL (Delta) has a 2180 as does WN (Southwest).

At work I already have people stopping by my cube. There is the phone. There is email. Recently they also made it mandatory that we have slack installed. I'm in my mid-50s and I don't like text, I don't tweet, and I hate slack. It seems to be younger people who would rather send 10 single line messages than one well-composed email.

My productivity takes a hit every time I get a slack message because that insistent clacking notification noise and the little red visual indication of pending messages distract me from my immediate task. Worse yet, the message often starts "Hey". So I reply, "I'm here". Then I set there for 40 seconds with "<other person> is typing" while I wait for their real question to arrive, as there is no way I can go back to my flow for 40 seconds and get anything done.
I'm really not advocating for anything. I was trying to explain exactly what you said: "[A lot of people] draw subjective and somewhat arbitrary lines between "art" and "vandalism", and when legality is indeterminable, that line probably has a lot to do with "whether I think it's pretty or not"."

The comment I was replying to said they didn't "get" that, so I was trying to help them imagine what someone might subjectively, arbitrarily think of tokyodude's absolutist stance. I thought it was pretty obvious I've never personally vandalized any of tokyodude's property (the "I"s were equally as rhetorical as the "you"s).

I think the way you expressed it was much clearer, though.
[on the subject of HN negativity raised in other posts—sorry for hijacking this post about post hijacking!]

One problem with HN, which I would love to hear othersʼ opinion about, is: the HN Guidelines incentivise negative colour in threads. You get 10 upvotes, and 1 critical comment: to anyone reading the entire thread now looks negative. Noone sees the silent "+1"s, which, I feel, do add a lot of positivity and encouragement!

I honestly don’t know what to change, or how. Hiding scores is great: it avoids the asinine karma peacocking, endemic in most similar forums. Allowing "+1" comments would probably be worse.

But the result is there. I think HN has a lot more positivity than we can see. But it remains hidden in the database.

Positivity on HN is write-only. Negativity is world readable.

I definitely hallucinate when I'm tired and force myself to stay awake, some of the most intense and real feeling hallucinations I've had where during long road trips. I have yet to get into an accident yet, I don't know how.

I recently drove to Canada, I was stressed and didn't feel like going home so I just kept going and 13 hours later I was being interrogated by 5 guys tearing my car apart looking for drugs because "it's not every day we see someone drive from Virginia to Canada on a whim." I never slept a full night the whole time since I'm a student and can't really afford a hotel, I'd just pull into a gas station when I felt really tired and take a nap.

Somewhere around Pennsylvania on the way back I spent about an hour talking to my girlfriend (who was still in Virginia) on and off. Sometimes she would disappear and be replaced with my laptop bag and I'd freak out and think someone had taken her.
Loaning out a gold-backed currency isn't loaning out gold.

You seem to be confusing "1 pound of gold" with "a piece of paper saying that bank X will trade this for 1 pound of gold".

The two are not the same.

No way Disney and Netflix and Amazon Prime will give their programming to Apple.

I'll fix it.
> There will be a physical titanium card, too, but there’s no credit card number, CVV, expiration date, or signature. All of that authorization information is stored directly in the Apple Wallet app.

Does this mean that the card doesn't contain sensitive information in the chip or mag stripe? Will only work if it's near your phone?

If so, this is quite different from status quo, and touches on what the Coin card failed to do.
It's bad that the card doesn't have a printed number on it. Many merchant systems require merchants to type in the last 4 printed digits on the card for transactions over a certain amount. Some hotels require it, no matter what the amount. These transactions won't go through with Apple Card.
You tell a story in which you show the problem and the solution besides. There is no other way to create interest. It has to solve a problem of yours (a potential problem may be enough). If you don't know it does, why would you care about the solution?

Or that's my interpretation of the article anyway.
