Web Developers need to start designing accessibility in from the start. Adding WCAG compliance after the fact is much more difficult.

I wonder if part of the problem is that we still don’t have an official way to develop “blueprints” for websites the way building designers do. As the industry matures, having inaccessible websites could be as taboo as having inaccessible buildings is today.
Hard Rock Capsule
Hard Rock Capsule for Weak Erection Issues

Discovering the best approach to manage with erectile issues you might be having concerning sexual dysfunction can be hard and disappointing for you. There are many products you can select from and some males in fact desire to talk about the problem with a specialist or anybody else as they experience felt by the condition.

When you are managing with problems like ED and you desire to discover approved methods to achieve the help you require, you should turn your notice to be familiar with this product like Hard Rock erectile dysfunction capsule. This erectile dysfunction capsule is designed with natural herbs that deliver long-term effect. It does not cause any side effect.

Yeah, you're right, I should have known better than to expect more from Hacker News.
Accessible websites are higher quality websites. The article mentions SiteImprove, a commercial service that can be used to assess website accessibility. But that's not appropriate for everyone. Want to improve yours but don't know where to start? Here are a few options:

* WAVE add-on for Firefox (free):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wave-accessib...

* Google LightHouse (free, part of Chrome):
Developer Tools -> Audits

* HTML Validator:
https://html5.validator.nu/

The HTML validator isn't specifically aimed at accessibility issues but it does highlight some low-lying fruit. All 3 of these are free and easy to use. WAVE is the most helpful IMO.

Even things that are shot digitally are often shot at a higher resolution than is used for distribution, and the music itself would have been recorded in a form much better than would be useful for TV distribution of the time.

They don’t necessarily use the same codec for YouTube’s master copy and the one that you get served. From what I understand, you can upload whatever codec you want to YouTube, and presumably it gets kept in its original format, so it can be transcoded however you like for serving. Anything else doesn’t make sense. Transcoding to FLAC would make sense if you uploaded PCM to begin with.
> Note also that software support is now pretty weak for these old releases - you struggle to find any modern web browsers that still run, for example.

In my fantasy land, I would browse the web with Firefox ESR 45.9.0, which as of this moment is recent enough to be mostly usable.

Other than that, I feel like software support would be a mixed bag. Newer apps wouldn't work, but I'd gain compatibility with older apps that are broken on modern macOS. And since it looks like more and more future apps are just going to be bizarre iOS ports with alien UIs...

The article doesn't indicate the amount of planning or research they already completed prior to this phase. It's pretty reasonable to assume that they knew what they wanted to charge for, but that it just hadn't been prioritized yet. If they were able to quickly get existing users to pay then they clearly had some idea what their users wanted.
I've always thought that the Left and Right naming in the Either type was a poor choice in Haskell. Left and Right don't convey any semantics at all and I constantly need to spend mental energy on remembering which is the Ok and which is the Error (speaking in Rust Result terms). Sad to see that people are translating these naming mistakes into JavaScript.

The underlying error handling methodology however is awesome and I miss its guarantees and composability in my daily C++ work (yes I know, there's Boost Outcome, but they stripped it of everything useful before including it in boost, as far as I'm concerned).
so, it took anna 10 hours, and lets assume anna gets paid 25 dollars an hour, so a cost of 250 dollars. Shelley, used the conference badge, and at 1.79 for the fully shipped version of the badge, it will cost 582 dollars. So, essentially, Shelley paid 332 dollars for QR codes and convenience.

Is it worth it? probably. but maybe not.
Yep. FMLA can't be used for a routine illness—only a "serious health condition"[1]. But it's better for everyone—especially vulnerable populations like hospital patients—for people with less-severe illnesses to stay home. A routine cold can be fatal for a person undergoing chemotherapy.

Starting a business gives you a broad enough diversity of things to do that you can sustain 90 hours per week dedicated to the effort for a long, long time.

Coding burnout? Refine your pitch deck and cold call materials. Designing burnout? Pick up the phone and sell. Isolation burnout? Go pitch at a local pitch event or find advisors at a business plan competition.

When you switch focus like this, you free up exhausted parts of your brain and body to give them a chance to recover without disconnecting from your startup, and you get a cross-pollination effect, where each of these activities informs one another very nicely.
> You have to explicitly opt-in to any unsafe operations

Many of the unsafe operations don't exist in OCaml. Often because the GC makes them unnecessary.
This really is pretty great.
I have a suggestion: add support for dual-clip lanyards[1]. I've always found the single-clip lanyards annoying: they flop around and get twisted. I went to a conference this spring that had lanyards that clipped to both top corners of the badge, and it was significantly less annoying.

What Is Juneteenth, How Is It Celebrated, and Why Does It Matter?
The problem here is that the printing pipeline uses the ‘file’ tool to detect what the data to be printed is (e.g. PostScript), but ‘file’ can only ever guess the content of a file. It is a heuristic, and as soon as you have a heuristic, you will always run into cases where it gives a wrong result (otherwise it’s not a heuristic anymore, obviously).

So, I would actually disagree with the author that it is strictly a bug in the ‘file’ utility, as there is simply no completely reliable way to determine intended file type by just looking at the content[1]. You have to transmit that information out of band, and this is why we have MIME types sent through Content-type: headers in HTTP or email headers. File extensions are another method (though also ambiguous: .TXT and .EXE are almost certain, but a .DB or .BAK can be one of many things).

CUPS is probably applying this heuristic for convenience (“send anything to your printer and it just prints!”), at the cost of correctness.

[1] A simple proof for that is the existence of “polyglots”, which in this context are source code that happens to be a valid program in two or even more different programming languages (often doing the same or similar things for sport). Were CUPS to differentiate printing based on the programming language, e.g. by applying different syntax highlighting, it would not know what language to choose, and without out of band information there hardly even is a “right” answer. In practice though you can detect a file type more reliably than ‘file’, but at much more complexity than “let’s check some magic numbers in some offsets to give the user an idea of what this might be”, and it still wouldn’t be perfect.
It's dark, but you can manipulate and abuse people into staying through pretty much anything.

I wonder if the results thus far actually validate the concerns raised by YC ("hard to know whether people are willing to pay")? $250 MRR strikes me as rather low for 35K MAU - assuming that's 50 users it's just over a 0.1% conversion rate, and a little over 2 weeks in I'd expect most of those monthly users to have come across the option to pay at some point by now. Nonetheless, wish you guys the best of luck in figuring out the monetization!

How can you download something in opus using youtube-dl? I mean downloading it in opus, not telling youtube-dl to download it in some other format and then convert it to opus. I've tried it on some of the videos and before reencoding, the audio was in vorbis which is a great format and at high bitrates not very distinguishable from opus, but still opus is better.
It’s proof they can actually make money on the thing, which matters because it sounds it’s soemthing people like enough to pay for so as they grow the user base, they’ll grow revenue. However, keep in mind they still didn’t get in to YC after changing it, so it may not have chances things that much.
Save Word Processing, Presentation, Spreadsheet and Email Reports as HTML
I started playing FFXIV a bit over a month ago. During that time, there was someone in the Novice Network (new player advice channel in game) posted a "does this look like an okay PLD build?" with a URL. I click the URL and it is a video of something being held down and attacked with a hatchet or something and it sounded like a child (as soon as I realized what was going on after like 1-2 seconds, I closed the video then reported the user and blocked them. It was a bit much and not the type of content I'd seek out, so that's probably why details are hazy).

Reason I give that anecdote is for the last part: I don't think it is about monetizing this type of content and that they're only after the shock factor of it.

Again, maybe they could automate safeguarding against it, but my guess is they'd find a way to get through. Like take a 5 minute YouTuber video and inject a slightly modified version of the shock video in it with hopes it bypasses the filter. Don't know, but wouldn't put it past anyone that would do this sort of thing.
One of those things you don't think to mention, but should.

There is no way people who know this are going to buy Intel.
We had that too in the early aughts--used a program called OASIS (may have been a custom application...not sure). Some older profs still used the VMS sys for email (I think it had PINE for VMS installed for easy use).
I've followed a couple games like that, and the end result is disappointment. Every feature that didn't work out feels like something I really wanted. So, really, it's a lot of effort on the developer's part to more thoroughly disappoint the potential buyers.

In my outsider's opinion, spending that time focused on building something fun without the outside world intruding would be better. When it gets to the point of only needing polish, then start showing it to the world.
Can you cite something linking education level with an improved ability to spot typographical errors? According to the psychologist quoted in this article[0]/study our inability to spot typos might be an innate limitation of how our brains process information, rather than a lack of intelligence/education.

I disagree on "unless they are drilling into the concrete wall you cannot hear them" A solid concrete wall better than drywall/stud/drywall for sound but still conducts sound relatively well.

Now usually a fascia of some sort is applied to the concrete and what is used affects the sound transmission. If you plaster over the concrete, for example, you get much better sound insulation than if you just paint the bare concrete.

Sometimes drywall is placed over furring strips to leave room for electrical work and this even better.

Another child comment mentioned brick, and all of the above is true for brick as well, though I believe mortared brick conducts sound better than poured masonry, and AAC conducts sound better than either.

As a further hiccup, I live in california, and the earthquake regulations greatly slow the innovation in building. In order for a new construction technique to be approved, someone has to pay the money to demonstrate that it is seismically sound.
I'm facing the same dilemma, do I go with what junior developers are going to be more familiar with or do I think of it from a 1st principles perspective and build in a way that makes the most sense from a pure engineering perspective. Unfortunately, I don't really see a way to scale past a certain point without these patterns.

On the flip side, adding a new feature might demonstrate existing strengths of their product, and help validate the idea to an external observer.

VCs aren't infallible judges, otherwise they'd put all their money into Facebook and Amazon and none into Juicero and Theranos.
In my experience, too many websites are created design-first, content later. When your first consideration is visual appeal, it's much harder to go back and add meaning to the content that was never really intended to stand by itself without its surrounding visual context.
The amount of time that Facebook stole from you
What right would the Firefox team have to invade the privacy of the "target" to detail who they are to the Internet as a whole?

HN users frequently complain that "automatically check for updates" is somehow an invasion of privacy. Meeting your demand, revealing the target of an attack publicly, would certainly be an invasion of privacy — one a thousand times more trust-violating than any auto-update check could be.

What of your needs is met by making such a request? What is your direct and personal benefit from knowing the target of the attack? Why are you willing to sacrifice the privacy of that target for that personal benefit?

Maybe it's an illusion, or maybe it isn't. That depends on the individual in question. If somebody's previous work experience is laying tar down on roofs, they may consider the change to an office job to be well worth the added emotional toll.

Due to the low physicality of the work, there are likely people who consider it easy work, despite the psychological impact that seems obvious to you or me.
Bitcoin was supposed to have dominated the world by now. Apple pay could potentially be in 1.4 billion devices. Google pay could potentially be in 2.5 billion devices. I dont remember much political theater when these were rolled out, that's why i believe this is just posturing.
Yes it made sense at the time. But now look at Ruby where they're trying to add a better GC and JIT because people want more speed - they're severely restricted in their options by the design of the C extension API.

This is actually something I have a serious problem with, especially considering the prevalence of iatrogenic injuries. For some reason doctors don't list actual useful metrics that could help with decision making, like how many people they've accidentally killed or maimed, how many times they've failed to win malpractice suits, and how much time they spend with a patient on average per visit to name just a few examples. There's an old joke that makes fun of medical credentialism: Q: What do you call someone who graduates at the bottom of the class in med school? A: Doctor.

The same goes for hiring a lawyer. How do I know that I'm getting a good one? Is the one whose daddy paid his way into Stanford really better than the striver who worked his way through some second tier law school? At least with a lawyer I have some ability to judge his verbal intelligence through conversation, but I'm still basically blind as to his actual legal ability.

So you tell me, what's the foolproof technique to hire a top decile professional in a field where you aren't equipped to judge the candidate's quality?
The only real SLA is the ability to vote with your feet and go to another provider that satisfies your business needs, or conversely to increase your investment with a particular cloud if you are satisfied with their performance. Providers know this, and they know that even if they wanted to, they can't capture all the possible values that are important to your particular business in numerical metrics. They also know that what is important to your business might not be important to another one, and therefore that it is hopeless to try to capture the entire gamut in a single set of metrics that are universally applicable. Any attempt would be futile, so it's best to stick to simpler metrics and let businesses and customers decide for themselves whether a given cloud meets their particular needs. SLA violation penalties hurt a little, but the real pain comes when you lose business.
If the rationale is 80s to 90s SD broadcast reference monitor quality parity on HDR/OLED displays for the masses, this is all I want.

As it goes for new digital transfers from 16mm or 35mm sources, it's a case by case thing to me, if the production looks "cheaper" when, it was not intended to by consumed beyond SD quality, better don't go over 720p remasters or it might look weird.
First I write a couple sentence mission statement about what the book is about, the character’s journey, the resolution, etc. This is my way of keeping track if the book is on course or not. Does every chapter serve that mission?

I then start with notecards and begin with the big questions: What’s the major conflict of the book? What are my main character’s conflicts? What are the conflicts of each act? I then break these down into chapters. Every chapter has a smaller conflict and resolution.

On the chapter break downs I ask what the character is trying to accomplish. Does it work out? How does the outcome change the story?

When I do my chapter-by-chapter breakdown the characters are driving the story - this is what makes it fun for me to write. Instead of me pushing a character from point A to B, it feels like the characters are driving the plot.

Using this approach I almost always redo the last 30% of the outline when I get to it because the characters have made smarter choices than I the writer had planned. I’m very into writing from a Theory of Mind approach.

Let me reiterate that while this approach works great for me, it may not work for everyone. Some people love to write without outlines because they just want to jam on the keyboard. That’s just as valid as any other approach - although I’d like to point out that just because a pro writer says they don’t outline doesn’t mean they don’t have an innate sense of structure in their head. We often don’t know what we know.
The $500 isn't about cutting the burn rate in a significant way. It's just the first domino to fall.

It's very hard to make the first dollar. Customers want to see other people pay you first. That's why many startups fill their websites with logos of big-brand clients, even if they're making very little from each.

Yeah I guess that most people won't be able to notice any difference except for the additional traffic needed. FLAC is probably mostly useful for "masters" you keep and re-encode to the currently best lossy audio format (opus at the moment). This way you avoid generational artifacts.
No need to be left wondering. While I'm not sure these are the videos mentioned, it's not hard to find some just by googling for it. Or maybe don't, I wish I didn't.
Ethereum has been around for nearly 4 years now, and despite some wacky smart-contract experiments, the most compelling use of it as a platform has been CryptoKitties.

The Rust compiler is a cross-compiler by default, so the usual way that you bootstrap on a new platform is to add it to the existing compiler, and then cross-compile to the new architecture. Which is what I read your parent as suggesting.
