> Designers loved Flash because it was WYSIWYG.

I hate designers who think they are typographers. Typography is an engineering discipline. It is not something you want to leave to designers. Especially not insecure designers (and customers) who need constant novelty.

Computers are not paper. Get over it and adapt.

While in college I started a price comparison site for textbooks (https://www.affordabook.com) that generates affiliate income.

Back in the day it generated great income and warranted full time work, but these days it still generates some solid passive income. A lot of the traffic is from SEO, but we still have a small social presence and a healthy amount of repeat visitors.

I used to run an online forum, showing google adverts. I also had a couple of them dotted around the most popular pages on my personal website.

I set them up years ago and averaged about £80/month. I was just thinking a couple of months ago that I'd not seen any "You've got payment" emails. So I went to check on my account, and despite serving a ton more traffic these days advert revenue just dropped through the floor.

I guess it is adblockers which killed the income for me. Anyway it was nice while it lasted, and I figured I'd just remove the adverts to increase page load-times.

I suspect if you have more niche content, or more tightly integrated adverts than Google Adwords you could probably still do OK. But adblockers really did rise from nowhere to become extremely common.
Allowing yourself to be stepped on is not maturity, it's cuckoldry.
It may be my bias, but I've met plenty of people trained in economics that are really not particularly motivated by money, but rather by doing things they find fun and interesting.

One of them recently was sailing around BC looking for new sea to summit ascents.

There's essentially no hope that their activities will yield them any money.

Internet retail prices have been dropping significantly, except for the places controlled by monopolies. In the EU you can get a gigabit connection for 20-30 eur/month, which seemed impossible even just 10 years ago.
Remember that a copyright is not like a patent.

If you were to regenerate those "parabola points" by looking at non-copyrighted material, you are in the clear, even if you end up at the same values.

So to public domain a font, all you do is display it on one screen, then recreate it on another. Because the appearance of font itself is not copyrighted.

Somebody should tell this to Kubernetes developers.

Also, thanks to Github's braindead UI of marking every issue as either "Open" or "Closed", once I click a Google link to any Kubernetes issue I have no idea if (1) the issue is closed because it was fixed in the latest version (so I have to upgrade), or (2) the issue is closed because it turned out to be invalid (so I have to search for something else), or (3) the issue wasn't solved at all, but Kubernetes team decided to tell everybody "Haha we don't care. And to really drive the point home that we don't care, we're gonna auto-close it for lack of activity."

So I have to scroll all the way down and read the discussion. Sorry, that was my pet peeve #168 for Kubernetes. Carry on.

You're getting downvoted because there's a way to do most of those things.

Which is ironic, in a thread entitled "iPadOS Discoverability Trouble".

The way iPadOS handles iPhone apps made more sense when iPads were smaller and single-app. I personally just don't use iPhone only apps, I have a phone for that and don't want to look at a blown-up phone app, complete with a huge phone-style keyboard.

It's a bummer no doubt, but not surprising. Both Playstation and Xbox spent considerable resources turning both devices into "entertainment centers"

The result for Xbox was a cluttered UI that disincentivized playing games, and the result for Playstation was poorly utilized services that cost too much.

The one benefit of it all is that games seems to be coming back to the forefront of both platforms, so they can get back to doing what they do best
That's true. My point was that even with Flash announcing several years ago that it would be sunset, nobody stepped up to build tools that worked with the open technologies of CSS, SVG and JS.

Instead, what we have is a situation where pretty much only corporations with designers and devs on staff (Stripe and Spotify being the major examples) are building the types of sites that used to be doable by a single person using Flash.

I'll second this. I had severe back pain in my late teens due to growing 8" in one year. I didn't have the back muscles to support the new weight of upper body. I started weight training pretty regularly and don't have any problems now, at 31.

I will add that when you start weight training, make sure you do face pulls. Setting at a desk all day causes your Rhomboids to lengthen and become weak. Face Pulls will really help strengthen this muscle.

I can't say I understand the decision to stop indexing SWF files. Does Google stop indexing every obsolete file format? Do they not index .doc files, tiff files, rtf files?
IANAL but I think you have to demonstrate harm.
Maybe instead of pointing out how foolish, we can positively encourage good behavior, and tell them "you can do it!", and be a true friend, encouraging them to manage finances better. For example, we should all have some emergency savings, then build our savings, and sacrifice conveniences or fun as needed to get out of debt. We would do well to create a culture of not being victimized or manipulated so much by advertising, and helping one another in that.

Resources include anything by Dave Ramsey (including possibly used books, DVDs, audio CDs on amazon: we bought some of these for ourselves, and to loan or give to children and others; no other affiliation), or free full BYU personal finance courses online at: https://personalfinance.byu.edu/ (I have not personally reviewed but some relatives have taken the actual classes and recommended this link.)

There are also some free in-person training programs in at least 2-3 cities, with a collaboration between my church and the NAACP, and related material online (not mine but very good), at https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng such as, specifially, https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topi... .

> Why the hell would you jump to this conclusion?

Why wouldn't I? Your argument appears to boil down to "well not caring about blind users is the status quo, so no reason to change it". I can guarantee you there were similar attitudes among construction workers and architects before wheelchair ramps became mandatory in various jurisdictions (and hell, even after): "well the vast majority of people wanting to enter this building have working legs, so why should I be assed to build a ramp when a staircase will do?".

If you can't be assed to write software that's accessible to blind people, then that is - by definition - discrimination against them. It's not even hard to make a web page reasonably accessible; plain HTML (with or without CSS) is typically perfectly usable with a screen reader, and it's only when that gets mucked up by a tangled mess of DOM-mangling JS (or Flash or Java or Silverlight once upon a time) that anyone needs to actually put any significant effort into accessibility.
That's promising. Been meaning to set up something similar - with modest targets (<100)

The whole one income stream thing is starting to worry me out of principle rather than $$$.
> company owns anything you create even outside of working hours

Probably depends on the country you are in. I would never work for a company under those terms. What I program in my free time is my code. Sounds terrible that a company would even try to claim ownership of stuff you do or build in your free time.
I agree that my assumption that failures will be evenly spread out is too optimistic. But on the other hand, if failures are concentrated on a few points, they should be that much easier to detect and correct.
Oh so if I use a gig, I only pay for a gig? That doesn’t sound like a date cap, that sounds like a going rate for data. They still charge you for all the data you never consumed, which makes no sense as a transaction.
I don't see why this is an issue. The affiliate relationship is disclosed in the footer, the recommendations are coming from a legitimate historian (Andrew Roberts) instead of from the site itself, and the site is adding value both by reaching out to Roberts to get his recommendations and by interviewing him to get context on why he recommends them. It's definitely not one of those "we searched for this word on Amazon and here are the first five books that came back" blogspam pages.
Only if it's directly derived from the TTF file itself.

But if you rasterized the font (and as a specific representation of the front, it no longer has a copyright), and then had a computer generate curves from that, you'd be fine.

But from my understanding the hard part is creating the file that does a good job at every different font size. Creating a font for just 1 size is relatively easy.

So your computer would be doing the easy part, not the valuable part.
It is not. Google Web Designer is a very limited product with a specific audience: marketers who are building those banner ads that everyone of HN blocks anyway.

Hype is a desktop app that give you much more control and is targeted at Flash game devs, web designers and others.
I do love the OLED screens. They are very pretty.
Do you actually sign up for these services and test them out? Or is there some other way to legitimately compare them?

Asking because there are so many Amazon "affiliates" that just write reviews without ever trying the physical products. Not sure if this is the case with web hosting review sites though.

1500 is good amount, depending on the effort you put into it. Kudos!
Wow.

That means you can take a vector font (copyrighted) and convert that to a rasterized font (non-copyrighted).

If you take that non-copyrighted rasterized font and produce a vector font from it, I presume that product falls under the original copyright?
I wonder how much of the image processing Apple could back port to iPhone 8/X, XS, XR if they wanted to? Those phones are extremely powerful still. And Apple has touted the power of their neural engine ever since the 8/X.

As long as data is not de-aggregated and de-anonymized there is no issue here.

I see no relationship with the GPDR as this law applies to personal data and the agreement explicitly stated that data must be aggregated.

As long as it is used to know people flow or for statistical purposes, I see no wrong here.

There is nothing that makes music inherently "good" or "bad". Music is an artistic expression, and different values can be obtained from it on a person to person basis. Just because music is complex does not mean it is guaranteed to be popular.

That is exactly what the researchers were doing.

They obviously do not understand music, its values, or its influence on society.

I’ve become increasingly curious about things like owning a ____ franchise (mostly from watching this fantastic location by my house go through a revolving door of poorly-run franchises and wondering “I bet you could make some money if you just ran the place right”). So this doesn’t sound silly to me in the slightest. But I am curious if you would indulge my curiosity, how’d you come to decision to pursue such investments and what’s it been like to own it?

Getting a job as a jester would be the coolest thing I've done with my econ degree then!
By my calculation, my car (including running costs) comes down to about 300 eur/month assuming I keep it for 5 years and get at least 1000 eur back when I sell or scrap it. (Reality: I'll probably get more out of it, or keep it longer)

Rentals start at around 28eur/day, so if I rented one every weekend (saturday+sunday), that'd be 224 eur plus fuel. Hardly cheaper.

Of course I don't travel every weekend, but when I do, it's more likely to be friday+saturday+sunday, and I do make week-long trips (and longer) a few times a year so it balances out, more or less.

Owning a car means I don't worry about making reservations, fetching and returning the vehicle, etc. It's always near the door, and I can go on a whim if a sudden need comes up, like it did just today.
90 %!! This is absolutely false.

In Spain it is legal to want independence, it is legal to create political parties that go for it, legally, BUT it is not legal to go against the law.

Creating a referendum is not legal because in Spain the sovereignty is in the general Spanish population, not in the local population.

This is not Scotland, Catalonia has never been a sovereign state that decided to join a union preserving its sovereignty. Spain was created as the union(by marriage) of the reigns of Castilla and Aragón, that included Catalonia.

The secesionist organized a referendum and they themselves counted the votes, like Stalin said it is not important who votes but who counted the votes. They added a million to the real number.

The local population holds over 50% of secessionist votes.

BTW the joke of gobertment that Spain has given the Catalan local Government(managed by secessionist!!) the management of prisons there. So they will be released soon after the elections, because the president is there thanks to the support of secessionists.

There are a bunch of journals like that. If you google "Journal of Negative Results", you will see several for different fields.

However, for some I know, it's really difficult to get in, because there are many more journals of positive than negative results, and there are probably many more negative results than positive... so your negative result had better be especially interesting.

> Europe has explicitly adopted WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards

This is precisely how we get closer to the achievable goal of assistive accessibility becoming a non-concern in software. The WCAG is nowhere near the same thing as the ADA. In fact, as a person with one of the things that qualifies me as a person with a "disability" I consider the ADA an offensively non-viable and absurdly non-enforceable "law."
This quote is better than the whole OP article.

However...
A flaw in Thomson's idea is that some research is expensive, costing much more than leisure time.

Another approach is angel-investing / business-loan style: Give a large grant, wait a long time, and then call in the note -- to return research that justifies the investment, or repayment with interest.

Or X-prize style: Give outsize awards for outsize accomplishments, and let the researches take on the risk.
This seems like a product that was very obviously rushed to release. That sort of blasé behavior toward customer safety doesn't strike as a good look from Tesla.
Replying here because I can't edit my orignal comment. But I stand by what I said -- in the pathalogical case all of your keys map to the same bucket, and you hit O(N^2) or O(N log N) behaviour (depending on what exactly happens within your bucket).

I appreciate that in the typical case this won't happen, but big O denotes limiting behaviour, which in this case in O(N^2) or O(N log N) depending on your hash map implementation.
Maybe because a lot of people don't want a desktop OS that is that locked down, so Apple is slowly trying to get people used to it?

Don't understand me wrong. That input methods are useless for me, because I know zero CJK characters, does not mean I think they are useless to everybody or Linux in general. How would I help the CJK users by having something installed I never use and I have no knowledge to use?
I'm not sure if I described it clearly, with this mode on, all of your traffic was being redirected to a Shaw server before being routed to where it was supposed to go. It was like being connected to a vpn that existed solely to serve me ads. They were blocking ads on websites and replacing them with their own from their servers, I would get popup ads from them that were not being stopped by adblock, every misspelled or dead URL would take me to their landing page full of ads for their services. Not only were they interfering with my traffic, but they were interfering with the monetization of website. As much as I dislike ads, I'd rather the site owners get the ad revenue for my browsing than a company I'm already paying for internet.
Slower pages are clearly linked to lost revenue (even a few milliseconds has been shown to affect conversion rates). This would be an easy case, I think.
