1. Lowering brightness is basically lowering contrast; some people can’t read black-on-grey so well. A lot easier to read (bright-)white-on-black, while still not getting so much light exposure. (Have you tried reading a book on your phone in bed at night?)

2. The rise of dark-mode popularity seems to coincide with the availability of OLED screens, where black is a very, very dark color (i.e. what your screen looks like when it’s off) compared to what it is on LCD screens (where it’s just “what the backlight looks like when the LCD is trying its best to block it.”) In these cases, not only is #FFF-on-#000 is seemingly higher contrast than #000-on-#FFF, but also uses far less battery besides.
Clearly not what he meant. One shit comment doesn't need to beget another.
Stay strong friend. I've been there, and it is a true challenge in strength to still take care of yourself, take care of work, and take care of your family. You can do it though, you have to find an inner strength you (may) not have needed before.
Kind of. It's improper regulation. You need some regulation or people die, but when regulation is bad it can sometimes be worse than no regulation at all.

In the SF/Bay Area (and possibly CA as a whole) there is more space allocated for businesses than there are for houses. Likewise, zoning is spread out so people have to commute to work. This is why, eg, the greater Los Angeles area has some of the worst traffic in the US, only beaten by Texas and DC.

The history behind these bad regulations comes from racism. In the 50s suburbia was created in such a way to isolate residence selling safety. I don't want to go into the details here, but it's a fascinating piece of US history.

When businesses and commercial are interwoven with residential people stop fighting for the few places close to work, which stops spiking up the price of those areas. Likewise, when the ratio is right there stops being a supply problem, even if it is the same amount of houses. In CA's situation it could mean less business buildings or more urban housing.
Thank you for sharing! It is quite incredible how they were able to piece all that footage together!
I just want to make an aside point here, that for the vast majority of people on the planet, the idea that they would have 20k in savings to take a year off is just wishful thinking.

To be able to even get to the point of having 20k in savings, you must have an incredible safety net in terms of both society and family that allows that to happen. You are incredibly privileged to have been able to even save that kind of money, let alone take a year and live with it.

The most recent version of chrome has made having a breakpoint a painful affair.

* The browser becomes completely unresponsive, each time you hit a breakpoint for 3-5 seconds.

* It also takes chrome much longer to show you the source maps for a page

* If you refresh while on a breakpoint it will remain unresponsive for nearly 10 seconds.

Is this related to these new changes? Is there a way to revert the trade off?
This will encourage landlords to tear down existing properties rather than renovate them, as well as to not maintain them well.

Rental housing quality will bifurcate further, with poor and lower middle class people living in worse housing.

This is bad policy. It's not replicating the absolutely insane policies of SF, but it's still bad.
I would seriously rethink whether we need to subject young people to compulsory education at all. Mass education is a sacred cow that just doesn't want to die.
This is one of the reason I tend to avoid str* functions in the first place, except for one strlen() per string.

The way I copy and concatenate strings typically looks like:

int len1 = strlen(str1);
int len2 = strlen(str2);
char *buf = malloc(len1 + len2 + 1);
if (buf) {
memcpy(buf, str1, len1);
memcpy(buf + len1, str2, len2);
buf[len1 + len2] = 0;
}

Of course, not memcpy()ing data around is even better if I can avoid it.

To add to this comment, if you find you do in fact want to make a change, one way to help accomplish that change is through the Future Authoring Program [1]. It's basically a writing exercise where you write out what your life will be like in a few years if you make all of the changes you are thinking about. Then you write out what your life will be like if you don't make any changes at all. After that you have something to work toward and something to run away from. Depending on the person it can be a huge help.

Stop editorializing the title. The link is just a PDF file of a public petition to the Senate, where the bolded paragraph reads:

> That's why we urge the Senate to stand with the American public and take action on gun safety by passing a bill to require background checks on all gun sales and a strong Red

And nowhere in the document appears "confiscation", "confiscate", etc.
Defaults matter. Fundamentally speaking, the vast majority of everyone will use whatever is the default. That's why Google pays Apple billions to be default on iPhone. That's why Google made Android and Chrome. Google isn't the top search engine because of how well it searches, it's the top search engine because it's the default search engine. A large part of why Bing has the market share is the same: It's the default on Windows devices and most people won't change it. (I mean, let's be honest, "I want to switch my search to Bing" was said by nobody ever who lives outside Redmond.)

Defaults matter. So when you want to use everyone's data, and you make it opt in, you only get a little bit of everyone's data, whereas if you make it opt out, you get most everyone's data. And unfortunately, legal regulation is the only way we can override tech companies desire to default to the best answer for them.

The thing is, I can understand people who, swayed by inflammatory media reporting and Bloomberg-funded propaganda, experience an emotional reaction to these various shooting incidents, and immediately think "something MUST be done". I get it, even if I think most of their proposals are useless, or actively harmful, in terms of reducing violence and protecting the innocent.

BUT, I think a lot of people on the "more gun control" side are actually pushing a very specific agenda, which has absolutely nothing to do with "public safety" or "protecting the children" at all. It's an ideological / elitist mentality that says "only WE should have guns, and the common riff-raff need to be disarmed one way or another". This position I have zero sympathy towards, and the only correct response to this, IMO, is "come and take 'em".

it's not about consent. Or, even better, consent is a very weak argument. If you use the consent argument, then you need to apply it for other areas, like being against vaccines for example. But you probably don't use it there because you know that babies can't consent anything (or maybe you do, if you are an antivax).

The very brief discussion about it in genome.gov even mentioned that.

I upvoted you because your first sentence is a useful observation, but I'm having a hard time using any of that to justify throwing away a wifi adapter. Even if it were possible to fingerprint the adapter beyond its MAC address, there's no global database of whitehat pentester wifi adapter fingerprints, and such a thing would be worthless anyway. You're not going trigger countermeasures by reusing a wifi adapter. The only threat model that remotely makes sense for that kind of precaution is fear of nation-state level resources trying to identify and catch you. And that's well outside of the realm of "pentesting".

(And the idea of accidentally exfiltrating data through a reused wifi adapter is ludicrous)

Most of the commentary I've seen about dark mode is how less readable it is, for whatever reason.

Anecdotally, dark mode on slack appears more difficult to read than light mode, at least in a well lit room. I couldn't use it for very long.
I copied this amazing comment from a HN user a few days ago.

I'll shamelessly paste it here since it's relevant to your comment:

Lots of people disappointed in the new iPhone. The reason I see is simple; Apple has long been outsourced a large fraction of its hardware innovation capabilities to other companies rather than having a full vertical ownership of the production line, unlike its competitors (Samsung, Huawei, etc).
This works very well when most of the required technologies are already there for bringing their idea to the reality so Apple doesn't have to push the state of the art for the manufacturing technologies. Multi-touch, Retina Display, Apple designed SoC were all good examples where this strategy worked out very well.

The trouble is that now most of the low hanging fruits are gone and the rest of innovation opportunities lie within the manufacturer side and require non-trivial investments. For instance, getting rid of notch requires camera under screen technology. This is being developed by Samsung, their competitor. The same thing applies to fingerprint sensor under screen. While all the competitors are shipping 5G in their flagships, iPhone 11 couldn't ship 5G due to their hard dependency on Qualcomm. In short, the current landscape doesn't allow Apple to keep itself on the bleeding edge in the smartphone business.

I'm curious about how Apple will address this problem. Disappointingly, I haven't seen any positive signal to indicate that Apple has a good plan to address this issue. It first tried a high-price, even-more-premium strategy and this turned out to be a disastrous one. Apple now tries to expand into the services business and chooses to be a competitor to its own ecosystem by exercising its dominant position. I'm pretty sure that this plan will work very well, maybe too well sufficient to de-prioritize the iPhone business just enough to keep its marketshare around 3~40% and make no more commitments. I hope I'm wrong.
All for profit business evolves that way. Doctors are working 20 hour shifts. Lawyers get 4 hours of sleep a night during discovery. Service workers get 3+ jobs to keep a roof over their head.

There is absolutely nothing about the incentives structure of for profit corporate business to care at all about the people actually doing the work, and in isolation they will do everything they can to eek every drop of productivity out of their employees they can.

Traditionally when switching jobs was less common employers would care more to maximize long term productivity over the short by not overworking people into mental illness but in todays regular turnover culture there is no long term incentives to bother with - put your employees to the grindstone and bleed them dry, then discard them for some new starry eyed ignorant youth.

Its the duty of society via collective bargaining (unions) or collective action (law) to reign in the predatory behavior of the profit motive but in the US (and thus most of the world due to US economic imperialism) that hasn't been happening or has been crippled for decades.

memccpy definitely has some advantages, so it definitely should be in the ISO standard.

But memccpy has its own problems. In particular, when concatenating you have to constantly recalculate the "space remaining"; that is just asking for an off-by-one error that leads to a buffer overflow, and makes it more complicated to use. The discussion here doesn't detect attempted overflows, and that's a mistake; you often need to not just prevent an overflow, but you also need to detect an attempted overflow and do something different. You also have to pass \0, which makes the function call more complex (and perhaps under-optimized) since \0 would in nearly all cases be the parameter passed.

So I'm glad this is being added, but it's at most a small step to improving simple string copying and concatenation in C.

You know what I learned yesterday? I learned that I've been autistic my whole damn life, and never got properly diagnosed.

I got into tech because when everybody around me told I was a selfish, misanthropic asshole, I believed them. When the adults around me told me by getting into tech I wouldn't have to deal with people, I believed them, too.

My entire adult life is built on one half-truth and one outright lie.

The lie is that getting into tech would let me avoid dealing with people. I think everybody here knows that that is arrant bullshit.

The half-truth is that while I do often come across as selfish and misanthropic, it's possible that these qualities can be attributed in part to having grown up with an undiagnosed autistic spectrum disorder.

I've spent my entire life faking it, burning myself out to pass for neurotypical while also pretending to be passionate about building yet another government web application with ETL and batch processing. If you were me, you might wish for the Butlerian Jihad too.

Hm, I think this article might possibly be astroturfing/stealth advertising Emirates, maybe some others.

It says due to a treaty they are the cheapest flight from New York to Italy, at $988, compared to United charging $3328.

Checking some flight sites I see Emirates prominently featured at the top of pages as a sponsored result. Their costs are not the lowest. And $3328 is not a normal lowest priced ticket, I wonder how many dates they had to look at and other cheaper flights they had to ignore to list that United fare as one of the comparisons. Definitely some cherry picking going on on that one.

I found Oct 16-Oct 30 from New York to Rome for $365. Granted outbound is American and inbound is Finnair makes a stop in Helsinki with a 12 hr layover. But hey for $365...

In any case I don't believe it's true that flights with the characteristics in the article are always the cheapest, or maybe not even most of the time.

It doesn't really seem like a loophole anyway. Singapore Airlines flying from Singapore to Honolulu to San Francisco is obviously a legitimate flight. If some people only want the Honolulu leg there's nothing wrong with that, it's not a loophole or trick.

I agree. The implications would be maybe that well-being wouldn't need to be so entwined with the model of our current fiscal economy if it came to which should win out (I mean in the tone of Star Trek's lack of traditional money).

I'd also prefer less "product" worship—but that's probably more personal, and a different sub-topic.
Is the difference the use of unique identifiable info?
I'd argue there are at least two better options...

Wasn't your original complaint that someone decided what was "better"? Or are you complaining that they didn't take your choice? Point being that someone that decided otherwise thought they had a good reason for their decision, too. In this case, it could be argued that trackpads reduce the need for the scrollbars. (I have no idea what the real argument for such UI behavior is.)
Boy are you in for a surprise if you go by that assumption in parts of Europe.

> Rent control.

Rent control is terrible. Even if it would prevent rents from increasing for existing tenants, that doesn't help anyone who doesn't have a rent controlled apartment from before the rents went up. Nor anyone who is looking to buy a home if it causes housing prices to go up. Rent control also discourages home ownership in general because you don't buy if price controls are making it cheaper to rent.

The true answer is this. If people having more money would only cause all of it to go to landlords, that is a dysfunction in the housing market, not the UBI. In a functioning housing market, more demand should primarily result in more construction, not higher prices. If that isn't the case then it has nothing to do with a UBI -- it would also be true if people had more money due to rising wages, or a reduction in taxes or interest rates or healthcare costs.

"What if every time people get more money it all goes to landlords" is a housing problem, not a UBI problem.
Well sure; I didn't mean to imply that there should be no zoning/housing regulations, only that it has gone too far in some areas, which has stifled development and caused prices to skyrocket.

When it comes to ambiguity in languages, linguistics has a distinction/designation of low-context vs. high-context languages which can also be related to the concept of entropy. Latin is often used as an example of a low-context language because so much is explicit in the surface representation. Japanese is often used as an example of a high-context language - meaning that a good deal of context is needed to properly interpret a sentence. This is loosely analagous to Java (low-context) vs. a Groovy DSL (high-context).

No. Impurity problems have occasionally come up over the years, but they have largely been addressed quickly by existing regulations. And at no point have they ever approached the level of risk posed by the return of deadly infectious diseases. Age-related harms are largely unproven, and while they certainly warrant research, the percentage of issues again doesn't approach significance with comparison to infectious diseases.

There isn't a mass conspiracy of doctors to cover up the harms done to kids by vaccinations. The harms are understood well enough, now, to know unambiguously that the tradeoff of vaccinating your kids is more than worth it. More knowledge is always worthwhile, but we have enough knowledge now to decide that vaccinations are unambiguously the right path, and there is no scientific basis for reopening the discussion on that subject.

The "real problems" are the returning infectious diseases which have the potential to kill millions of people. I simply do not care about the issues you are bringing up when i.e. the return of rubella or polio is a real possibility.
