On CAD applications is very annoying when the mouse unintentionally register a movement while clicking a button which never happens with a trackball.
Can you explain briefly how this could possibly take 3 years? I mean, I don't know anything about street design, but it seems so straightforward adding a protected bike lane. They aren't widening the streets, right? How could it take 3 years?

I usually get people to start with the Logitech M570[0]. If they like it they usually stick with it and since its small they tend to set it perpendicular to their body in front of their keyboard. So far only one convert has upgraded to a larger Logitech one with a wrist guard.

No, they were already way overpriced. The Unix workstations were nice, and had good tools. But you could buy dual cpu intel machines of very roughly equivalent performance (excepting some specific tasks) for about 1/4 the cost (or less), and put Linux or BSD on them.

The writing was on the wall you at least 97 , and the Unix vendors looked at it and just kept doing the same thing. They were already dead, but the dot.com collapse finished them a little faster I suppose.
For FHA loans you can't cancel the PMI (since 2013 I think), it's there for the length of the loan.
Do you have a substantive question, or are you just asking me to save you the trouble of clicking on the link to the article in question?
One is literally an adversarial nation hellbent on weakening the West’s influence in the world, enacting a strategy straight out of the modern fascist playbook, renowned fascist and political theorist Aleksandr Dugin’s The Foundations of Geopolitics with horrifying efficacy.

But yeah, it’s understandable that someone might equate that with a social media platform being transparent (however belatedly) in their efforts to enforce their own rules.

The problem with centrist lines of thinking such as yours is that it’s all predicated on fallacious logic: the demonstrably false notion that a compromise between two opposing positions is inherently superior to either.
Doing pretty well with Logitechs MX Ergo which also looks more polished than this open source alternative.
I am fine with paying for closed source products if they are good and can be used without a hassle.
Opinion is split. The danger of AI is exponentially increasing power and capability. We're not there yet, but we do, it could be like nuclear power.
Of all of the above, the existence of holes seem to be the only compelling traces.
Remember how we used to have this dreadful Windows monoculture in the '90's of the past century? Now it's GNU/Linux monoculture...
Yeah. And you don’t need to create a custom type to handle it as a parameter. So it’s easier.

The only thing SQLServer has over PostgreSQL is multiply resultsets. That’s it. I really wish that existed in PostgreSQL to prevent round trips.
In reply to the viability of Chromebooks: I have a 4 year old Asus Flip with a Rockchip processor & 4 GB. I still use it because I love the very small laptop form factor. Despite having a processor which would be jealous of the Celeron, it keeps up just fine. Most common websites do fine. YouTube is smooth. FB is mostly smooth. Google does a great job with Chrome OS. I’d have no hesitation buying a Celeron Chromebook for a kid. As long as it was new enough to have at least 5 years of support left, and had a minimum of 4 gigs memory, they should be fine for the foreseeable future.
How will they remove bias, as already mentioned in the article:

"Last year, Twitter said it would not ban President Trump despite incendiary tweets, including allegations that he threatened to declare war on North Korea. However, in the case of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, he had one of his tweets deleted from the site."

> Assuming there aren't issues due to rank/the command hierarchy, most personal disagreements are handled face-to-face.

It is easy to keep clear communication when there are no real stakes and positions at stake. Learned that hard way, in teams where communication looked good and mature and direct until power vaacuum happened.
> I want these ideologies in the open, where I can see them, examine them, fight them. I do not want them to go "underground" where they can fester and grow uninterrupted and unobserved by the larger society, until they have grown enough to burst and soak society in puss.

Keeping hate groups off of Twitter does more to inhibit their growth than your attempts to debate them.

Show HN: PostgREST as a Service
A plea to anyone working on a meetup.com alternative - make sure good Open Data Feeds are baked into to whatever you do.

There is already a industry standard in ical/ics - this should be your first feed. Another reason to add this one - regular attendees of a group who are keen can import this straight into their personal calendars and get details of all upcoming events.

After that, I'm less opinionated on what format you should use. https://schema.org/Event will help your SEO so that's a plus.

Do others have comments on what open data format to use?

As someone who has worked on an event aggregator for years, getting good information out of event organisers is very difficult. If they are taking the time to update your site with info, making it so it can be passed on is really helpful. (If they want of course, privacy controls, but in my experience almost all events want more publicity)
Coastal City Refuses to Retreat
It drove me up the wall and I didn't finish it.

All this "if you answered c, e and f, we are not of the same opinion" feels passive-aggressive to me.

The whole thing feels manipulative to me. It makes me think that people try an insincere way of talking to me, in order to manipulate my feelings and reaction.

I've had huge discussions with friends who try to live the book, and neither of us could make the other see their point.

One of their examples was "My boyfriend likes to go DJing, but sometimes I'd love for him to stay home and cuddle with me. So I clearly tell him that him leaving makes me feel alone and that I would like some warmth. But I don't tell him what to do, to stay at home, for example. I only talk about my own perception and feelings."

– "Yes, that's great, but in communication there is the level of pragmatics above pure logical semantics. And you telling your boyfriend that him leaving makes you feel very alone is just another way of saying 'please don't go'".
That's okay, Solaris lives on as the free, open source software that is the illumos source code, from which distributions like Tribblix and SmartOS are made. illumos is being actively developed and it's very lively.
I think it could avoid cases where you "abuse" the walrus operator and make code harder to understand than necessary. E.g. things like:

if (value := func()) and another_condition:
...

Or:

if another_condition or (value := func()):
...

Or:

x=1
my_list = [x := x+1, x := x-1]

etc.
The distribution seems bi-modal. My wife was a teacher, and she had maybe one free week the whole summer, between development classes, curriculum work, and so on. On some summer days I would leave work at 7pm and then join her in her classroom until 8 or 9pm where she was just finishing up a 12 hour day.

Then there were other teachers at the school who took off on the last day of school and you didn't see them again until the week before school started. Those were the teachers that were still teaching material from 30 years ago that all the parents dreaded their kids getting.
Designing Accessible Color Systems
Well, the NSA is funded by taxes, so ... the US taxpayer pays for it.
That is not passive aggressiveness. That is tone of voice being offensive or causing bad feelings. Those are two very different things.

Passive aggressiveness is an indirect action/inaction to get your way.
Prove it. We saw exactly the opposite in Germany when they tried to ban the neo-nazis. Or the RAF.

Or ask the Brits how banning the IRA went for them.
Nothing, since Palm Desktop when I had a Treo 600.
The first time was in 2016.

Blizzard has released a series of comics delving into the backstories of the characters in the game. Feel free to play spot the difference with which comics got released in various locales:

America: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/media/#comics-section

Russia: https://playoverwatch.com/ru-ru/media#comics-section

China: https://ow.blizzard.cn/media/ (there's some weird javascript stuff that prevents me from linking directly, click the speech bubble on the right side of the page to see the list of comics)

Taiwan: https://playoverwatch.com/zh-tw/media#comics-section

Edit: The tl;dr is that one of the comics doesn't exist in Russia or mainland China. Funnily enough, it looks like their CDN actually has a zh-cn version of the missing comic which is distinct from the zh-tw one (I don't know much about the chinese language but I'm assuming it's Simplified vs Traditional characters? Some of the onomatopoeia are translated differently too)

Whoa. I think if my customers found out about this I would have a real problem on my hands.

And since my customers are all IT admins, it seems like they might figure it out.
I once lost my wallet the night of a work Christmas party. Went through the trauma of cancelling cards etc, getting some cash from the bank branch to tide me over, using my passport as ID. A real pain.

Found it a few months later in the back pocket of my smartest suit trousers, which I’d drunkenly hung up in the wardrobe. Never thought to look!

FML.

At least I found £50 that I assumed had gone forever.
I was never sure if Mobilizon was in this space - there is a difference between a system that lets an event organiser host events and one that lets keen people aggregate events from other places that aren't Mobilizon installs. Do we know more about their plans yet?
As you move up the stack it looks more Unixy. The core is VMS-like and I can see the similarity, but it seems to me the majority of the code actually written exists in a middleware layer that is maybe not as far from VMS as Linux, but not quite VMS.

Names can be quite different. I remember looking at the disk stack and thinking it looked quite similar, save for completion ports.
Taxis have long benefited from special treatment, including the ability to use bus lanes. That predates Uber and Lyft AFAIK.
I've seen some studies[1] that suggest wallets are returned more often if they contain money.
Suggested reason: we tend to surestimate the value of money vs the other contents when we find a wallet.

This is why I continue to think that Python 3 being needlessly backwards incompatible was one of the dumber things to happen.

Think of the lost productivity that has resulted.

People complain about JS all the time, but JS hasn’t broken existing code and has improved.

JS supports ‘let’ declarations and variables named ‘let’, python could have improved without breaking everything.
How to Implement AAA Game UI in HTML and JavaScript
Absolutely not for UK & Australia.
X extensions come with their own libraries, and those libraries always use and depend on Xlib, so you're stuck with Xlib if you want to use any non-trivial X extensions.

XCB wasn't the first non-Xlib way to talking to an X11 server that had this problem. We had the same problem in the 90's when we wanted to use Display PostScript with Common Lisp which was talking to X with CLX, an alternative to Xlib written in Lisp.
Also, there is no need to put gradual in scare quotes. The gradual as in continuing from summer is the recommended way on top of those daily showers and listening to your body.
There could well be a Nobel prize in this. I wonder whether it would be the Physics or the Chemistry prize.

Dangerous driving and pedestrianisation are separate issues.
So like, "no hate speech" has resulted in minorities being unable to discuss the harassment they receive on a daily basis, and has prevented communities from using re-appropriated terms (or even talking about community events). Have you just not been paying attention to this stuff? :( (Though like, I feel like it would also require not having friends in minority classes, as I've had tons of people I know raise bloody hell over this stuff on Facebook as their posts get pulled.)

Well, sure, the point of view of a teacher of a college ethics class is fairly limited and he wasn't there for very long. But I'm decades out of college and have never been anywhere near App State, so it's still a point of view I wouldn't have had if he didn't write it up.

Meanwhile, you were hoping for a better article written from a more original perspective, and were disappointed. Maybe the writer of that article is out there somewhere, but how do we find them?
You assume similar sleep requirements in children and adults.
Sports can be weird and very fluid indicators. In Australia where I grew up Rugby League was played in public schools and Rugby Union in private ones, so union was associated with wealth. 20 years later union is often played in public schools in the poorest areas by migrants from the pacific islands and the indication is reversing. Every second house a swimming pool there (and beaches), so swimming wasn't seen as a wealthy activity like it is in other parts of the world/country. If you compare between countries it gets even weirder, we inherited almost all sports from England but for them tennis and cricket are they snooty sports, here they're firmly working class.

Soccer and basketball for whatever reason seem to hit that egalitarian sweet spot.
do you accept applicants outside US? here is my personal website www.kenranosa.com
I think you gave me the most pause in this argument so far.

I do think punishing the player itself, even in the original 12 months / 10k way before they relented, was .. acceptable? Linking to my earlier comparison with professional athletes: You can lose your title, be fined and be banned for behaving improperly. Which I think was the case here, completely ignoring what he was advocating.

You're bringing up good points about the rest of the disaster though. Unless they were secretly in on this (and all coverage I saw makes that highly unlikely), the casters are complete bystanders and not responsible in the slightest¹.

I won't weasel around and say "It wasn't _Blizzard_ directly who apologized" or stuff like that. The apology is - in my opinion - the worst part in all of this and the single part I find a little disgusting.

Ban/Fine the guy? Yup. Fire casters: That's stupid. Apologize to China: Ewww..

I guess what made me burn my karma in this thread is that so far I've seen a lot of discussions focus on "Freedom of Speech" (not applicable on a private platform, not a global/unified concept anyway) and actually .. supporting the gamer.

Player vs Blizzard: Both fucked this up. The former intentionally², the latter incompetently. I don't see why Blizzard alone gets the hate and is painted as the bad guy.

① One might mayyyybe wonder if the production team could've cut to a commercial, but again.. no use blaming other people.

② I've never watched that player myself, but I extend him the courtesy to believe that he knew he was doing something stupid/risky way in advance
The problem is bias. Just like how making hiring based on race illegal people still do it. So if the admins are biased in favor of one party then they will be very lenient against it and very strict against the other. They might have reasons for every ban "You can't incite hatred" while also have reasons for not banning your own "The hatred is justified in this case as the other side is worse", but the end result still becomes very biased.

So in essence the more liberties you give your admins to ban or silence people the more biased your platform becomes.
I didn't mean to imply you did, just that this distinction is particularly important here, as I've seen quite a few "closed" projects that do need a pdf library, and would be fine with the AGPL.

I just looked it up and Mexico city’s homicide rate in 2009 was half that of Atlanta, Georgia. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Mexico#Mexico_City) Mexico has changed considerably in the last 30 years, and the story above sounds like it wasn’t recent. Most murders today are drug related, and crime is heavy in US border towns, but not that bad everywhere else.

Thirty years ago, when I was a kid, my siblings and I wandered around in Mexico sometimes miles from home without an adult, talking to the locals. Everyone was super friendly, we were never threatened. People would sometimes offer us food or toys like little hand carved slingshots. It seemed pretty safe, and we didn’t get hurt during the year we stayed, other than once my little brother went to pet a donkey in a field and got kicked by it. It was a different time then, so I guess my point is you might likewise want to consider how the rates of homicide have changed over the years, where the rates are higher, who’s most likely to be affected, and how it actually compares to other countries, before assuming that everyone’s in equal danger, or that anyone’s in more danger there than here...
Honestly, replace China with the USA and you have an even stronger case.
You're assuming that the people in your example actually _can_ walk a half a block.
They gave out his address too? I didn't even realize YouTube collected home addresses.
Proper undo-redo is on the roadmap. It works in some cases but needs to work throughout the whole Inspector!
I think when taking mind altering drugs you have to be self-confident, otherwise you should avoid them since that/anxiety is what normally leads to a bad trip. Having a benzo, ex. xanax, around as a backup plan can help _sort of_ stop a trip.
I rarely agree with his stance in regards to political moderation.

On the other hand I don't envy his position. It is easy to be critical, but harder to put yourself in his shoes and suggest improvements.

Overall I think he wants to moderate for the most sensitive users of a particular persuasion. I view HN as a product of Silicon Valley's culture.

The end result is that I self censor when I disagree with what I perceive as a the prevailing view on HN.

Take it or leave it. Discussing political views online isn't an especially fruitful use of my time.

Occasionally there are a few interesting articles. If I need a diversion I focus on the ones I'd like to read. Commenting is rarely worth it in my view.
I hope it’s not you that comes across something I’ve lost.

And this, Hacker News, is why it's hard to argue on English platforms / on mostly American sites.

This poster, in a single reply, just showed extreme arrogance, perceived superiority and complete unawareness of cultural differences - because obviously anything other than what the US constitution says is inferior and needs to be pitied.

A Company You Have Never Heard Of
Everything is correct but the excellent part: Linux is badly architecturally broken and hacked together under the hood. Backwards-compatibility guarantees (as one would get in writing with Solaris) are non-existent, hit or miss. Solaris features like zones are very poorly partially implemented as resource controls (cgroups), but not really; lots of GNU/Linux distributions are still on filesystems like ext or XFS which are built on obsolete data management concepts from 35 years ago; there are many competing provisioning technologies (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, ...) but none of them fully cooked. Fault Management Architecture is something which doesn't exist in GNU/Linux; NFS implementation still isn't finished after 20 years and it's still broken and non-standards compliant; fiberchannel and TCP/IP stacks in Linux are buggy as hell. The list could go on and on; I could literally write and publish a book on it, were that not such a waste of my life.
This drove me mad when moving to Canada. In Germany all the ATMs require you to take the card to get the cash, in Canada it was the opposite. I lost my card twice that way. Design is so important.
We are looking into that right now actually to make that easier, maybe you could file a specific bug. Are you using the iframe-picker in Firefox and that isn't working as expected?
Not my impression walking down market street, especially between the bay and 10th street.
This is salient: there are some items where I'm confident I could distinguish real from fake, but there are many more where I'm not. And returns/refunds or not, it's a hassle I can live without.

For anything outside of books/music/movies/video games I nowadays mostly use other retailers, and generally those that specialise in that kind of item.

I recently bought some shelves from Amazon that aren't as described and getting a return and refund has turned into a complete shitshow. Totally fed up of Amazon.
Not to mention that Java is the lingua franca on Android.
XCB was great for a while, but like so much else in the open-source ecosystem, people knocked it down and dragged it to the "good ^w acceptable ^w tolerable is the enemy of perfect" camp, while political operatives gobbled up another decade in the interest of securing their employers' control over the platform.

AwesomeWM started as a tiling WM built for the new frontier, before xcb crumbled around it. After about four years with scant updates, the maintainer's statement that he didn't see a future for it with the community abandoning its central technology, and a precipitous increase in "I just want this dumb thing to build so I can use my computer" keyboard-smashing sessions, I switched back to KDE. These days, a Windows 10 VM with passthru'd sound, USB, and GPU is my primary workstation environment.

I hear Wayland will be ready for the big time any day now. Been hearing that for the last three years or so. Maybe we can have a Year of the Wayland Desktop before a Year of the Linux Desktop.
