Cool, how about working on that mobile browser you already have? I've been using it for years and it's good but apparently the lack of progress on it is because they abandoned us users of it to focus on this thing.

When quantum came out addon capability on mobile severely regressed and never recovered. This issue to support the context menu API has been open for TWO YEARS.[0] I just want to be able to long press an image and reverse image search it like I used to, is that so much to ask? Yes, there's an addon to do it through the addon menu and then tap the image but it's not the same.

It is sexist, it is inappropriate, and has no place coming from someone who is Professor.
Correct - website is gone now, replaced with the book.
Note that if the people are literally just randomly red or blue like this in an 80:20 split across the state, it actually takes a LOT of work to ensure you get an 8:2 split of ten representatives out of that and you'd expect 10:0 instead if representatives are one-per-district.

One fix is to use multi-representative districts, e.g. you draw only two districts in that 10 member state, and in each district people are voting for _five_ representatives. If there are parties you can use this thing called the Jefferson system (yes named after that Jefferson) to pick members of parties to fill those five seats per district with a single vote per person in a fair way. We can expect that in this 80:20 scenario each district would send one minority party member and four majority party members. The way Jefferson works, getting five out of five members is going to need you to really _crush_ your opponents, because in effect for that last seat every vote helps them five times more than you - even "useless" votes like somebody who wrote in "Michelle Obama" make it harder for them to win that last seat.

In reality though things aren't that conveniently mixed. Most likely an 80:20 state has very different ratios in its big cities than in rural agricultural land, or on an Indian reservation, or between a college town and an otherwise similar town with no students. Gerrymandering is about drawing lines on a map so that say 40% of the people in one district are blue, even though it's 20% state wide, whereas maybe if you'd just "naturally" put the line around the big city it'd be 56% blue and they'd get a blue representative. This feels intuitively unfair, and it's frustrating that a Supreme Court felt able to say well, too bad, we don't "know" what fair even is.
Setting the term "facts" aside for a moment, I don't perceive a difference between "statements about the world that we believe to be true" and "opinions."
Add a mobile JS console and this will immediately become my default browser. I don't understand why no one has done this yet.
It would be great if article would mention a potential security issue with this approach: two-page login forms, which have any conditional logic based on the provided username, may leak the information about existence of that username. This opens possibilities for social engineering attacks (“pay $100500 or we’ll tell your wife that you are registered on the dating website”).

EDIT: updated my comment to reflect that conditional logic may expose existence of account, but does not necessarily do it.
I think we can all agree that whatever is promoted by Ajit Pai is good for humanity.
Quanta Magazine has been producing a lot of stories that have been appearing on HN lately.

An interesting aside it that Quanta was started by James Simon’s Foundation. James Simons is an interesting person. He doesn’t get the publicity of a Gates, Buffett, or Bezos.

Simplify Your Code with Rocket Science: C++20’s Spaceship Operator

Currently nothing. But I've only mentioned this extension to a small technical audience, so I wouldn't expect a flood of spam. In practice, this needs some sort of "local captcha" that doesn't involve 3rd parties, i.e. the storage server returns a puzzle (like guess what's shown on this 3d image) and if solved correctly, it results in a proper hash that's easy to verify. A simpler, but uglier solution is to ask the user to produce a hash with N leading zeros.
$35 for a season of a single show seems incredibly expensive compared to $10/month for a bunch of shows. But once you realize how many shows you actually watch, that $35 a month starts seeming pretty cheap...
I don't see it. What part seems sexist to you? The sentence is relevant because Grace Hopper's work was the precursor to COBOL, and COBOL is the embodiment of what Dijkstra was complaining about.
> The myth about ad replacement doesn't seem to want to die though!

Just want to reinforce this from my experience. I've been using Brave since before they were based on Chromium. And a lot of comments were saying that Brave replaces adds with their own. But I never saw that.

Now they have a feature you can opt-in, to see adds and get BATs for that. I actually wanted to test this and opted in, but still never seen an add. I guess my location is not yet included.

So at least based on my experience from using Brave for a long time - it's hard to get adds even if you want to.
Satellite view can help with this. I always use it when I'm trying to figure a route in an area I'm not familiar with; it's a lot easier to tell that something's fishy from a photo.
Not quite. That still has the field open, which could still be filled in. The ajax call could blank the field (even if it's been filled in already), preventing the password from leaving the browser even accidentally.
Thanks for sharing this. Do you have a source for this fact? :)
There is barely an answer to the title question:

> So my idea is to follow the principles of universal design, that is that optimizations done on extreme cases translates over the whole spectrum. Also I’m getting valuable qualitative data on current implementations. Let me tell you this, for someone developing / administrating with the lingua Franca of computes i.e. UNIX/shell computing power is not the issue. Here I’m dealing with a 512 mb tablet.

I'm not sure I understand what that means, but that's all the answer we get. (The writing quality is as poor as the reasoning.)
> In the early days, John von Neumann has looked at the problem of constructing a reliable computer out of unreliable components but the study stopped as von Neumann died and transistors replaced the unreliable valves. We are now faced with this problem on a global scale and it is not a management problem but a scientific challenge.

Wow, John von Neumann is my man! I need to get more exposure to his intellectual legacy.
I couldn't articulate why my POC of parallel computation surviving asynchronous loss of threads [0] would be of any interest (I don't see any practical value in it myself and treat it as a piece of art). I think the man would find more than two words to respond to it.

Not great. The new models (PopGrips) advertise themselves as supporting it, because they're easy to remove with a twist (which defeats the convenience of wireless charging.) I still use it but 1) my popsocket is mounted flush with the bottom of my case, 2) it only works conveniently on a vertical charger[1], as they're narrower than flat pads[2] and 3) the phone has to lie horizontal so the PopSocket hangs off the back.

I did just test it vertically and it seemed to work if the PopSocket itself hung onto the lip of the charger. I think this might affect the charge rate, though, due to the distance from the coils.

'Today, Hong Kong; Tomorrow, Taiwan:' Resistance to China Spreads
I will mention years ago Kaiser Permanente gave their members this very good book called the Healthwise Handbook. It described many many common conditions, what you could do, and under what conditions to contact your doctor.

They stopped giving it out.

It would be nice to have an expert system to guide you through things. I wouldn't mind if it "paused the dignosis" like:

"It could be A, B or C. Look for <symptom> or try <action> to narrow it down"

Now that I think of it, I have used basically one expert systems in my life. It was the windows diagnosis thing.. "did that fix your problem?" the only thing it fixed was a network problem, once.
"Hacker" as in "Growth Hacker"... sigh.
Oy. Isn't the extension support likely the #1 reason anyone uses it?
It really depends. If its a silent video, yea I can see why its bogus. But, if its background noise, then yes its useful.

Sometimes when I have trouble sleeping, I search "white noise" and find videos like this. Usually I click on something like a 'fan blowing' video or a 'thunder storm' video. The noise/pattern combination somehow helps me sleep. It also helps me relax and focus while working.
parsing any context-free grammar[1] is provably impossible using pure regular expressions. but add backtracing support and you end up with one of my favorite stackoverflow answers[2] of all time. (bonus: there's another legendary answer at the top of that question.)

Sure, but that type of change must come from lawmakers, not justices.
> Requiring an attacker to wait for a full page load to test an email address has a rate-limiting effect.

You could rate limit based on IP, or even in the javascript, if you're that concerned -- .onblur sends the request, which typically responds quickly with a "password not needed" flag. You're just trying to stop casual snoopers, as for scripts it's not much different to sending the request as part of the entire form (and seeing if the response is a page or a redirect)
Why not? Is it always self-hosted?
Most times its not definitive if the insurance will cover a procedure until after. I know for myself there is a fairly "cosmetic" produce I want, but no matter which surgeon or insurance I have I can't get an answer from either that isn't basically, "do the procedure and after it will be determined if its covered". While the procedure isn't life threatening it definitely would be quality of life improving. Unfortunately, its generally considered cosmetic, at least until later in life where the side effects of not having the procedure can become life threatening.
From the quote I think he means that optimizations done on shitty hardware will translate to optimizations on good hardware, and that the computing power of the tablet is plenty for the dev/admin tasks he uses it for(?)
This is hardly a serious example of being Orwellian. Out of all the good examples, this isn't one of them.
But I don't think you show up at all if you have 'noindex' set?
You can't avoid it, username existence is easy to check by trying to register an account. The only solution against the problem you described is to use usernames, which are freely chosen by the user or generated by the website automatically, not email addresses, so that people can create accounts not tied to their identity.

Also, two-step form doesn't mean that you have to check username existence after the first step. But, again, this is useless as mentioned above.
Funny thing you mention this. I also remember prince makinit. Which I (in my non English tone) used to speak as mo (as in mother) -kee (as in keep) nit (as in to knit)
CUDA is not crap. At the time this paper was written it had been out for a number of years, had good multi-platform support, and had good support for nvidia GPUs.

If they had used opencl they may have been using an immature product, that might really have been apple only at the time (or apple and IBM?). I don't know thie history but 8-9 years ago (when the research work may have started) nvidia was tpushing the cuda idea (almost entirely alone - AMD still playing catchup).
yamlresume.org is available.

There are multiple projects on GitHub that generate resumes from yaml.

The new concept is a lambda function that pulls from a gist. It would not be very hard to do something similar with yaml.
You may be joking, but that's a great way to earn some revenue for doing essentially nothing.

There's a guy who goes into the woods and takes videos of that environment along with great sound quality.
They already have an adblocker built in (well a tracking blocker but that often amounts to the same thing).
Backrefs are nonregular. I believe lookaround by itself is not a problem -- it's essentially intersection, which is regular (though often omitted from regex engines). Yeah, here's a reference: https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/2557/how-to-simulate-...
Wow that looks awesome I will check that out.
How are you 99% sure? That sounds amazingly precise.

I would ask everyone to pause a minute before posting and ask if the comment adds substance to the discussion. If you have support for your argument, include it. If you use numbers, please back them up.
That is precisely what the projects I'm usually involved in do. A client might want "buzzword technology", but at the heart of it, what they really need are stable, scalable, and consolidated data pipelines to e.g. Hadoop or AWS that gives "Data Scientists" a baseline to work with (and anyone needing information, really - it was just called "Business Intelligence" a couple of years ago).

In the end it doesn't matter if you wind up with a multi-TB copy of some large database or a handful of small XML files - it's all in one place, it gets updated, there are usable ACL in place, and it can be accessed and worked with. That's the point where you think about running a Spark job or the above AWK magic.
Originally the term 'hacking' was coined in MIT and had a positive connotation, referring to experts who have intricate knowledge of systems. PAGE 731 of the (ISC)2 official study guide states,"The original definition of a hacker is a technology enthusiast that does not have malicious intent whereas a cracker or attacker is malicious."

https://www.skillset.com/questions/what-did-the-term-hacking...
Not only that. But developers still need to support the 4 inch screen resolution because when you enable zoom on the 4.7 inch iPhones, you get a resolution that’s the same as the SE.
Given Apple's margins, you probably could sell iPhone for 10% even if having same manufacturing costs.

Sure, Apple built up their brand and their pricing doesn't rely on direct manufacturing costs. And a lot of end-user stuff is the same way. Brand/ecosystem/etc is important. E.g. eating out. Clothes. Food. If you don't go for value brands, you're paying quite a bit for non-manufacturing costs.
Wow good point ! Makes me wonder the legality of that now, isn't there a law somewhere saying that for a same item everybody must pay the same price ?
Somewhere like Death Valley Google Maps seems pretty good about not taking you on silly shortcuts even if you try to force it

From personal experience, Apple Maps is more useful in Death Valley than Google Maps. But the National Parks Service is very clear that the only maps that should be used in that area are paper maps, and not GPS of any brand. I agree.
If by "people" you mean judges and such then I think you're right. If "people" means people who post about political topics on the internet ... umm, not so much. It might not be used in legal arguments, but the belief in founders as saints or supermen is pretty widespread in US society generally.
Just dropping this thought off : patio11 just got himself and this article a nice write up on Matt Levine's Bloomberg newsletter (its v good too)

But what I realised is that patio11 must have spent many days researching this and writing it up, then published it and it frankly it looks like "real" journalism.

in fact it is, real journalism

But it's not packaged like it. So for all the talk about death of newspapers etc, it is possible for someone who is not a journalist, and not paid like one, to do the work - maybe we will see citizen journalism ?
That's what I got, but it seems to clash with his assertion that computing power is not the problem. Whatever — I've already devoted too much time to this post.
Awk is the most useful tool that people largely ignore in the UNIX tool chest. If you think of any script that has simple logic and involves transformations on input data, it could be more easily written in awk and integrated with the shell. After learning awk your UNIX abilities will increase exponentially.
What happens in the Utopian future of fully autonomous cars (level 5) which heavily rely on GPS for route mapping and positioning?

Isn't the dream to be able to sit in the back seat and read a book or take a nap? The human occupant might not be aware anything's wrong until the vehicle is running out of battery or gas, or gets stuck in the sand (from the parent's experience).

There's a pass through the mountains near me that gets shut down during the winter due to snow every year. I go up there usually but don't need to go all the way through - and was surprised this year to see an official CalTrans sign saying:

"Your GPS is lying to you! The pass is closed! Turn back!"

I suppose enough people every year ignore the road closure signs and continue all the way until they get stuck... how would an autonomous vehicle know any better either?
I think it has less to do with drone strikes and more to do if if you want to do business in a given place and they have courts who take action, you're more attentive to the law there.

Nobody is worried about China drone strikes, but they'll hand over IP or whatever is needed.
It's a bit odd to use the word "seduce" there.
WireGuard on Windows Early Preview

I think we need to coin a new term: black patterns. Or mafia patterns. Or evil patterns. "Dark" is simply not enough.
Putting aside other aspects of your bias, it's ironic that you insinuate that a "slander" happened, because the opposite effect occurred (as described by slide 9 in my second link). The US Transportation Secretary claimed that Toyota was exonerated, even though the report given by NASA did not support that claim.
Twitter reserves the right to remove any Tweet. Those three examples were specifically used as a progression of severity and I would imagine we would all approve of Twitter removing the last example.

However the change to the policy that Twitter is detailing here isn't really about deleting tweets. This policy creates a middle ground for tweets that break the rules but shouldn't be deleted. Someone could even make the argument that middle ground gives Twitter the flexibility to censor less.
Genius. Take my upvote.
Maybe but Apple tended to (in the past) be a focused company. They decided to not support development in the past so they straight up ran from it, supporting zero parts of it, gaining security benefits. They know the iPad as-is isn't designed for it and have no intent to do it. Now, when they eventually come around, I'm sure it will be in a big, all or nothing, way.

That's kinda the best thing about Apple, they are brutally focused on solving a problem at any cost. Thats why AirPods are so small, the apple watch is so incredibly featured and why they build their own CPUs. Making choices like that sometimes means realizing opportunity cost, you can't have the best of everything.

Meanwhile, in fairness, the Mac is actually a pretty great development platform.

I think, based on similar experiences, this happens when the organization is either not actually hiring for the position or is dealing with severe internal political conflicts.

> The fairest thing to do would be to eliminate districts and allow a voter to identify which candidate(s) they support

There's a very old assumption that local elections (i.e. within a district) are the fairest way for the interests of the people to be represented. Politics ought to be as decentralized as possible - all the arguments, discussions, and decisions about "what we want" should take place locally when electing a representative.

While your proposal may help governments to more accurately represent the will of the people en masse or in aggregate, I suspect it would only further contribute to a sense of division, especially in a local sense.

You are not currently able to Sync to a custom server in Firefox Preview. Doing that requires access to about:config which is not set up in the release version.
I remember frantically needing to parse a few hundred megs of log files and join them up to the db rows that fired the individual errors.

I've been wishing for a long time that Auristor (AFS) on ios would work with the Files app, but sadly it doesn't. Making it less than useful.

For personal-only use, this is far easier anyway.
Same here. I was so happy to see this and I just went ahead and installed it in a heart-beat. Tried to find the addons page, couldn't find it, found your comment instead and uninstalled it in the next.

I hope they add support for addons otherwise there isn't much use for it at least to me.
Ah, I suppose I would have less concern with this more broad definition of slavery. A child being forced to do chores would qualify as slavery in this case, right?
Had the court back then decided that since they couldn't define it they couldn't pass laws on it, I think our laws in relation to such material would be in a better place now.
It's the Senate's Constitutional responsibility to advise and consent the President's SCOTUS nominations. What is the procedure when they abdicate that responsibility? Remember, the Senate didn't tell Obama "no, we don't like your nominee." They, meaning McConnell, refused to hold any hearings on at all.

So maybe he didn't violate the law, but he certainly didn't uphold his Constitutional responsibilities, which I believe is part of the Oath of Office he took.
> The basics are missing by default

Absolutely. I really want to see advanced AI/ML tools developed to address THIS problem. Don’t make me solve the data before I use ML, give me ML to fix my data!

That’s hard though, because data chaos is unbounded and computers are still dumb. I think there’s still tons of room for improvement though.
