That's a contortion. You can try to repair your phone already.

Its legislation to require manufacturers to make a more expensive, repairable device and provide instructional materials. Who's 'freedom' is that supporting?
Not that I know of, but many of the problems have been discussed online, e.g, calculating the average of the 100th power of sin in under 5 minutes [1], which according to Arnold, if you cannot solve, you don't understand mathematics.

At least in the US, there is no Hyundai Maxima. Did you mean Nissan?
I was responding directly to the parent question: "if it had been unity or unreal engine, would you have changed your opinion?"

Your point may be true. I don't think it's a $500 million point to prove, but I also haven't looked at SpatialOS enough to take that stand.
Agree! "Mobile First" design thinking should not mean "Mobile Only." What was supposed to be a call to consider all of the devices your users may be utilizing, it just transferred the preference from one type of device to another.

Why can't we just have sites/apps/SPAs/whatever that look and work well on whatever device they supposedly support?

The internet has changed what it means to be the Lingua Franca. The ubiquity of English language in the largest internet communities and high quality media content would have to have a very strange reason to change. Before, it was simply a function of your colonizer or trading partners.
Yeah, I agree—that was my first time seeing that explanation, and it really helped me to feel the intuition.

I'm certainly not knowledgeable enough to argue the point.
It's a game account not a bank account. Gamers follow the path of least resistance, if signing up to your game takes too much effort they will leave before trying out the game.
The only con of allowing people to fix the items they own is you don’t know the quality of the parts you’re replacing.

You’re going to have people who think they’re getting a good deal buy from AliExpress or Amazon, replace something like the battery, then have an explosion or fire. Goes on the news and next thing you know Samsung/Apple/Google get dragged through the mud because people see “Galaxy/iPhone/Pixel burns house down!” Now the company that made the phone has to do damage control. Reputation is everything.

If there were some sort of regulations in place to only allow replacement parts that meet safety guidelines, it would make it safer for right to repair. You can’t trust people to not cut corners on saving money to fix their phone.
The key is that it recursively searches (for instance in C++) header files for the word under the cursor and brings you to the first result. To go backward 'CTRL-O' jumps back in the jump list. I've not yet found a way to go to the next item in the '] CTRL-I' list. so I 'CTRL-O' then '2 [ CTRL-I', etc.
But our A/B testing shows a 5% increase in engagement by making it crappy.
I see this happening a lot. "Mobile first!" doesn't mean "Mobile only!"
I agree with you, but why was the person above me commenting on risk?

While it is true that those things happened with Unreal Engine, it was sideways from the discussion that was occurring, but presented as a refutation. Risk has nothing to do with the comment two tier above me. I'm just pointing that out.
This happens all the time for me.

When the page scrollbar is thin, and one of the page-width elements in the page also has a scrollbar on the right?

I am fighting on both mobile AND the desktop!

It’s extremely bad UI design when even on the desktop browser with a mouse and keyboard, I end up fighting to grab the page scrollbar.

And it’s not the page designers fault here.
Just drop from 7 mph to 6 temporarily. It is possible because I’ve done it weekly for the last two decades, after reading about it on Slashdot.
I'm old enough that I started out building desktop apps with native widgets. You had consistent, easy to use UIs, and they were pretty much the same no matter what application you where in. Building the UI was considered they easy part. You could even draw the thing with drawing tools! Since the native widgets were designed by people who spend all day thinking about UI, user testing UI, etc everything pretty much just worked, and worked well.

Fast forward to today. There's no such thing as "native widgets" in a web app. So everyone rolls their own. Everyone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Everyone is chasing fads. There is no consistency from app to app. Today building the UI is the hard part.

(x-windows was the exception of course - you could choose from a dozen badly designed window managers and widget sets.)
But then we're back to it being about repair again. If you drop your phone on the concrete and break it, it's completely reasonable that that isn't covered under warranty, but you still want to be able to repair that phone rather than throw it away.

Can you be explicit how they would go about preventing that?

Presumably the ventilation and filtration requirements will be significantly reduced rather than completely eliminated.
I just recently saw a steam and gas engine show where they had a ton of still working washing machines and other household amenities that worked off a belt system and mini 1.5-2.5 hp steam engine.

They had larger lumber mill type saws and other industrial sized stuff that still worked too.

Was pretty crazy seeing vehicles still driving around the fairgrounds that were made so long ago.

It was very neat to realize how much our society is more of a throwaway society in terms of the honor in being able to repair/fix your own stuff and make it last for generations. I thought to myself, "There is no way in 100 years a Tesla would still be in working condition like these old steam engine vehicles."

You might be able to detect acceleration at point of impact if it’s at an angle to the velocity at point of impact. This is assuming the mass driver is allowing the asteroid to fuel its own acceleration via mass drivers + a fuel source, not a separate frame of reference mass driving the asteroid into orbit.

I am no apologist for China, but the course of the American Dream itself was similarly colored by a "rose-tinted" view juxtaposed with less-than-ideal circumstances. One could look at for instance its original emergence in the 19th century after being primarily brought on by the 1848 revolutions in Europe, legalized chattel slavery still existed and manifest destiny would turn out spill a lot of blood in its wake, both that of natives, settlers, and soldiers. This, of course, ignores the emancipatory possibility of the American Dream then - for instance, the massive emigration to America and throughout its frontier that occurred in the 19th century provided much of the pretext for the actual dismantling of chattel slavery.

The more modern, post-WWII imago of the American Dream of a booming economy and cute little suburbs was overlaid over antiquated Jim Crow laws and early Cold War saber-rattling that would accelerate into the greater turmoil of the '60s, which would turn out a tragedy more than anything. Many of the criticisms you put on China now have mirrors in a historical America.

China and America are really both flip sides of the same coin. It is true that looking at China as a safe haven when America's economy and culture has become so anxiety-riden is silly and ignorant. China is able to rationalize itself with a liquefied idea "socialism" it never truly was able to understand in the first place, and has grown to content to treat the task of governing its people in similar kind to herding animals.

I would not pin China's blame singularly on the CCP or Xi for that matter, but I would rather describe the CCP a symptom of modern capitalism. If one were to hypothetically "clean the CCP's house" with a new stock of younger legislators that weren't "beneficiaries of the Mao era" as you claim, than you would likely find them repeating the same regressions as their predecessors; never mind that Xi himself was a victim of the Cultural Revolution, considering that his sister was killed by student protesters and his father was jailed for 10 years. China's problems (more problems of contemporary society in general) extend beyond the Mao legacy, similar to how Leon Trotsky did not regard Stalinism in the Soviet Union as purely beginning and ending with the one man.
I see one.

Speaking truth to power is not without its risks in the US.

The list can be made much larger, but then it needs to explain each case, whereas the ones above most people know about.

You can say this is not speaking truth to power, it was leaks that are different but not really.

Concentration camps in China, might be a secret. I dont think they are but what goes on in side of them is meant to be, breaking the government's repression of information is a good thing.

Just like telling the world what the US really does is good for our country.
Hah. You'd be surprised how often 'anonymous tips' end up implicating people that otherwise were not on the roll at all.

Welcome to the very slippery slope.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

I would not at all be surprised to see equivalents in other jurisdictions.

The idea here is not that the tip is evidence, but that the tip leads to an investigation focused on an individual that was otherwise not a suspect. Given how hacking computers often leaves no suspects having any suspect is already a step up from having none. Motive, means and opportunity right? Means -> you are able to hack, we found your application to this ultra elite hacking thingy the good government put out, you aced it, therefore you have the means. You're a competent hacker, you were near a computer the night this stuff went down that gives opportunity. Which leaves motive, and it won't take much to tag some hacker type with any motive you care about maladjusted miscreants that they are.

There's nothing horribly wrong with using GLUT; it's just a badly designed library (lack of a context parameter on callbacks requiring use of globals, tons of missing functionality). GLFW is the "spiritual successor" to GLUT and is generally preferred nowadays. SDL2 is also a fine alternative.

Plastics, other chemicals, and energy density are problematic. I am a huge proponent of renewables but density, distribution, and inability (as of yet) to economically replace chemical feedstocks are the biggest issues I see.

Unless you can identify specific things that he thinks will be changing in the future, yes. It sure doesn't seem like smartphones are becoming any less valuable or more expendable.
Yet if it's needed only because they continue to change things around and make basic functions more obscure... why is that a good thing?

And I still don't want to spend 20s. You can call that silly, and you're not completely wrong, but watching some stupid iMessage tutorial in my prescious free time isn't exactly something I want to do.

I upvoted you for technical correctness, but I'm still convinced that, as rhetoric, your point fails.

Calling an eBike a motorcycle in 2019 is over-exaggeration, IMO, FWIW.

But, again, I do agree with you that powered bikes are not the same as human-power-only bikes.
Wow that's ugly (the Saudi hotel not the wind turbine). Totally worth demolishing an ancient fort and levelling the hill it stood on to make room for it. Saudi seems to have no interest at all in preserving any heritage or significant sites.

Newest build turbines are 220m diameter, so 50% larger than that. Those will be used on the Dogger Bank windfarm that, IIRC starts construction next year. I dread to think what will be a state of the art diameter in 2029.

MicroSD needs to improve as a format with write durability and speed before it can be the main store of a device. Hopefully SDUC with better durability will be that format.
I'm not sure I really see the difference between using compressed air powered tools and appliances and electrical ones. All of the hand tools at my work are air powered because the wet environment makes electrical ones dangerous. The air powered tools are also typically more powerful and run at higher rpms and have more horsepower than electrical ones. I'm not sure why the air powered appliances have less torque but air powered grinders and polishers definitely have more power than electic ones, I've used both.
Another item of note was the acceleration of hardware design and manufacturing moving to China. While it did not directly affect the .com boom, a lot of those individuals that where left in hardware saw their jobs dry up due to all the web companies going bust thus killing a portion of hardware demand and their prospects for their jobs coming back where pretty much nill as when they market recovered that hiring happened in China.
I think what you're really seeing is how much people value a good user experience, not how little they value privacy. Killing it on the UX end has always been a thing that OSS projects and software has struggled with and lack of growth there is, IMO, part of what has gotten us to where we are.
They did it because the buttons took up room, were used by nearly nobody, and (in the case of the "jump to top" / "jump to bottom" buttons) destroyed the user's scroll state in a non-undoable way that was too easy to trigger.
It's interesting that you turn on the menu bar. To me this isn't a "tablet" feature at all--it's just a "screen real estate is precious" feature. Even when hidden it's only an Alt press away.
That is a very good question as are the answers given.

I think the important take-away from all this is that OAuth and OpenId and what have you are very complicated.

That would seem to be the reason many companies can make a living out of providing them to you.

Now could it all be made easier and simpler to understand somehow? Don't know but that would be great.
Yes, one can argue that, at which point one would be considered a marketroid and not trusted.
What I would love to know is how many people built these homebrewed systems at Google in 2007, then jumped to Facebook and built them again in 2010, and on to Uber to do it yet again in 2013.
"Maybe one can argue that knowing the length of a written word has resulted in less people engaging?"

Boy, doesn't that just have the distinctive ring of an uncomfortable truth... at least for some of these cases.

I offer in counterpoint that engagement-focused sites have probably already determined that their content is "less engaging" if it's long enough for a scrollbar to appear at all. If it wasn't for the literal need to stuff 100%+ of the screen with ads, there'd probably be a lot of modern engagement-focused websites doing everything they can to fit on a single screen without scrolling at all.
Fast navigation = less engagement time = less ad revenue. Case solved.
Tags would be okay as a folders replacement if they, you know, actually replaced folders. That is: if a tag can in turn have tags, and those tags automatically apply to the tagged files, then it should be trivial to not only emulate a folder hierarchy, but even improve upon it by offering more flexibility.

It'd also help substantially if more tag-centric applications were up-front about which tags are already defined.
One reading would be "cell phones should be considered fundamentally throwaway items" vs "for the foreseeable future, people will consider them throwaway."
He was able to talk Steve Jobs into a network exclusive release deal on the original iphone in Japan.
That seems extreme. Isn't it irrational to declare that "every" source that "leans" toward whatever political identity you presumably dislike is "propaganda" and "a machine of hate"? That sounds like the most absurd generalization possible - in fact, it sounds like a product of ignorance and hatred.
FWIW, I tried creating a Hacker News account via Tor. I was hit with an unending stream of CAPTCHAs. Eventually gave up.

That only applies up to a certain density of vehicles. Due to differences in acceleration and deceleration of cars, trucks, other types of vehicles, and inclines and declines, after the number of vehicles surpasses the maximum capacity at a certain speed, the will have to slow down and speed up and slow down and speed, and there is no choice but to sit through until you get to a piece of the road that isn't congested.

My point is there is no solution fixing traffic jams in most cities or rush hours. If you've been to a poorer country with lax traffic law enforcement, you will see the extreme end of the situation play out where you can pretty much model all the vehicles as a fluid as they slowly ease by each other with whatever space they can find.
The fact that the Latin translation doesn't make any sense means that it was an English phrase the whole time, despite its etymology.
> Did you pick up the word "grok" from reading Stranger in a Strange Land or from somewhere else?

Absolutely. Using it wasn't an accident either. The word is used illustratively only in the text, it is never explained.
Water is already subject to capitalism, both in the sense that you literally pay money for it (more than industry does, note), and in the sense that wasteful and profligate use of it due to lack of appreciation of its value (because its price is too low) directly damages water security, putting this "fundamental basic need" at risk.
I get your point that it wasn't a true or complete democracy in a very real sense. Only the British people got to influence (through national elections in Britain) what was happening there. Russia is a theoretical democracy because you get to vote for Putin or some random non-threatening person. But it's pretty different than living in HK under British rule.
Y'know, re-reading the thread, neither do I. Sorry for the noise.
Yeah, when i used google more often in the past, my experience had been more like 60% (google works) vs 40% (disaster). Now that i use duckduckgo as my primary search engine, the resultant hits haven't really improved, but at least i feel like i have more privacy. ;-)
Try, Try again until you "get" it. Seriously, Maths should be read by everybody in the spirit of playing a game i.e. with no pressure and in a relaxed frame of mind. There are Concepts, Objects and various Rules interconnecting them. And somehow these "games" turn out to be useful in explaining the real world.

Get some school/college textbooks (high school level onwards) and some "popular maths" books and start reading. Once something catches your fancy you can dive deep as needed. You are studying to gain "understanding" and not to get through an exam or prove something to somebody.
RA and HN - my worlds are colliding.
You can pretty universally scroll to the top of anything on iOS by tapping the title bar along the top!

Works in Safari as well, though if the toolbar is collapsed your first tap will be to expand that, then the second one scrolls up.
The original GLUT has been abandoned two decades ago, it seems. Freeglut, a drop in replacement still seems to get regular updates and releases.

Alternatives that come to my mind are GLFW and SDL and you can also grab ImGUI for a nice, easy to use UI library that covers simpler use cases very well. They all deviate from how you use GLUT, but they aren't substantially harder to use.
Oh you're right. Interesting. My browser is 1134x1080. I guess maybe in today's world of super high res phones that could be considered a "mobile display".
Think this -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21353861 is what you are referring to? If so it seems that Google have tweaked their search results using NLP. An example provided in the link may help .. "Here’s a search for “2019 brazil traveler to usa need a visa.” The word “to” and its relationship to the other words in the query are particularly important to understanding the meaning. It’s about a Brazilian traveling to the U.S., and not the other way around. Previously, our algorithms wouldn't understand the importance of this connection, and we returned results about U.S. citizens traveling to Brazil. With BERT, Search is able to grasp this nuance and know that the very common word “to” actually matters a lot here, and we can provide a much more relevant result for this query."
Yeah, I always use desktop old reddit on my phone... I like small text I zoom in on.

What I hate even worse though is endless scroll... give me damn pagination with buttons! So I can reload the page and not worry about losing my spot, or accidentally scrolling away... let me use the back button on my browser!
+1 to building an auth and evolving it.

I do the same thing and do it for the entire “core”. Templating, session management, database tie in (all for a stateless, cloud app).

I improve it every project and it’s easy to start from there than scratch. I don’t like using available base code due to not needing 90% of features and it always feels like bloat.
You keep arguing that the author is obsessed with quality, and therefore the book is imbued with an abundance of it. Quality is totally subjective. Taking four years to write a book and obsessing over quality is really not a badge of honor in and of itself.
> I wouldn't recommend trying to modify DOM elements via CSS or extensions if you can avoid it. You're going to run into some broken web experiences.

If I'm resorting to extensions or CSS to modify DOM elements, it's likely the web experience is already broken from my point of view. It's not something I do just for the fun of it.
Not sure why you characterize my comments that way. I was just mentioning how I reacted to it, not calling for it to be shut down.
ENS now supports .onion resolution. https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/ens-now-support...
I run into a similar situation, and I have done every thing you are supposed to. DMARC, SPF, MTA-STS, DKIM, all of it. I have only one IP address that ever sends legitimate email from my domain (I proxy all my personal messages through that IP), on AWS, and it's been that way for years.

Despite that, the reputation systems give my system a neutral reputation. Sure, I know that there are lots of people who spam through AWS, but AWS IPs are not allocated in bunches, and anyone can get one. There should be some way to get my reputation up to good, but I haven't yet figured it out.
But then we actually had a 13% decrease because our test was fundamentally flawed. Also, we don't really understand the statistics behind a/b testing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
