Hackers _are_ interested in this story for many reasons. People re-hashing positions you happen to find boring is not a good measurement of what should stay or not.

They do occasionally end up on the front page when people find the topics interesting. For example this study on "night owls" [2].

At one point I had a user script that prevented certain key combinations from being intercepted. Worse than discourse is a hosting platform I was encountering frequently for a while, where pressing esc to stop the page from loading instead caused the website to switch pages to a login prompt for the site owner. Other offenders that annoy me include intercepting alt+d (focus address bar), Ctrl+n (new window, outlook captures this), Ctrl+t (new tab), Ctrl+a (select all), and other common keyboard functions.

Fix: Just add a dummy onkeyup function to the document root and body elements, and set @match rules for whatever sites annoy you. Occasionally you'll also need the more generic event handler function as well.
What's crazy to me is how much functionality of Aperture was apparently powered by OS features that were just there to, well, power Aperture. Pro fonts. Pro table headers and so on.

I guess that's what you get when the OS vendor also makes apps. And it shows how privileged those apps are compared to others. Only the OS makers apps can have their functionality shipped with the OS itself.
> We are talking about how the composite extension for X was a must for FX

1. No. I was talking about Windows. Compiz was mentioned as a comparison to give an idea of time lines. You then decided to interpret my entire post to mean something quite different.

2. The comment about compositing was window managers, not X. Xrender, in this context, would be equivalent to OpenGL (albeit one uses hardware frame buffers et al and the other uses software).

3. Even in your Xrender point, the window animations in Linux would still have to be done via a compositing window manager such as Kwin -- which supports both Xrander and OpenGL libraries.

3 (i). ...or if not a compositing WM, an entirely separate display manager replacing X. Though even there, you'd likely still want to go down the compositing route because it's much easier.

> And I know XRender is not a WM, FFS, my first distro was Debian Woody so I know my shit better than those Compiz bling-bling new users.

1. Then why are you flipflopping between different stacks of libraries as if they're one and the same?

2. The length of time you've been using Linux isn't a useful yardstick for how much more you might know stuff

2 (i). Furthermore, HN is a technical crowd so I'm sure most on here have been using Linux at least that long. I've been running Slackware since the 90s and I know from previous conversations I'm far from a unique case. So I'd be careful about assuming your audience when commenting on here.

2 (ii). It's also worth noting that almost no new users would be using Compiz these days anyway. There's just no need when most of the popular desktop environments ship their own compositing WMs. Plus the novelty factor just isn't there now like it was back in 00s.

3. Also please tone down your language. There's no need to be rude.

> And not only KWIN did that, a lot of WM's did different FX in software by either using XRender or custom coding (such as Afterstep).

1. Nobody said compositing had to happen in hardware.

2. "FX" like menu transparencies (as you mentioned elsewhere) isn't even remotely the same as the window animations originally being discussed and being demonstrated in the Windows 93 demo linked to; and for a multitude of reasons:

2 (i) For starters you're overlaying within the same window. Things used to get trickier when you needed "FX" to interact with parts outside of your form (worse still, other applications too).

2 (ii) Transparency also wasn't computationally expensive to do in software compared to the kind of transformations that Compiz did -- and that the Windows 93 demo does. The Compiz/93 style animations simply wouldn't have been practical for general purpose computing without hardware graphics libraries (bare in mind the specifications of the average computer in the 90s and early 00s).

2 (iii) ...and I know this from experience because I used to write graphical shells for both Windows and Linux in the late 90s and early 00s.
I crossed the country from Georgia to California while homeless. I walked a lot and accepted rides.

People routinely wanted to impose some larger explanation, like "Are you doing a fundraiser? Are you trying to raise awareness for something?"

"I'm too poor to travel by planes, trains or automobiles" is an alien concept and large parts of this country go out of their way to make it difficult to walk somewhere. Walking as a means of travel ought to be some kind of basic right, but it's actually illegal in many places because you can't walk on the limited access roads and there are no other roads through there.
I was redirected to this when I tried to go to Opensubtitles.org, why did I want to go there? I wanted to bring a POC I developed a long time back up to date, the idea being that you can search for text in the subtitles and find the parts of the movie it was in and set the video forward to that part. Luckily I can of course get around the problem, but I thought it might be interesting for HN.
Ask HN: How to Take Good Notes?
I want to improve my note-taking skill. I've started writing a text file with notes from class, however, I don't have a systematic way of writing. This means at this point I just wrote down, arbitrarily, things the professor said, things the professor wrote, how I understood the information, and everything else, mostly all over the place.

I'm wondering if anyone developed a system like this I could adapt to myself, and how did they do it.

Is there anything similar for South Korea?

I found something interesting about South Korea. According to Worldometers South Korea have tested a lot more people than anyone else - see https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/

Then if you look at the Country breakdown here https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ (scroll down a bit) South Korea has 5,186 confirmed cases but only 27 are listed as Serious or Critical. This seems to go against the '20% need hospital treatment' narrative and would support the theory that there are a lot of mild cases going undetected (as SK has tested more widely than any other country).

But ... I can't find a source for that '27' Serious or Critical number.
That looks excellent. Thanks for the pointer.
There was no React Native in the Messenger app before the rewrite.

If you look at examples of mental illness in non technological cultures, delusions manifest as djinns, demons, succubus and so forth.

I once had the opportunity to discuss this with a journalist who spent some time researching and reporting on mental hospitals in Afghanistan. Some of the people at the facilities they visited were deeply disturbed, so the extent that their families had resorted to tying them to a tree with a rope so that they wouldn't wander off and hurt themselves or other persons.

Almost universally none of them had delusions along the lines of the CIA putting radios in their dental fillings, antivaccine nonsense, or "5G causes cancer" stuff. Their delusions were all based on traditional cultural references such as djinns.

To be clear, Messenger wasn’t being rewritten from React Native. It was a fully native app before, too.
> The only language that I have worked with that realizes that in the real world simple is _always_ a lie

This feels like an excuse to me. I’ve worked on a lot of rather simple web apps that all more or less do the same stuff. A few of them have managed to have delightfully simple codebases, most of them haven’t. There’s no reason that couldn’t be true for all of them. You usually end up having at least some complexity. But small complexity trade offs don’t necessarily require you to undermine the simplicity of the entire system.
But does Python back-end code scale like Javascript?
> Water. Sky blue? There must be water above it. Why it doesn't fall? God keeps it up.

Is there a variation on "straw man" that's more like "shadow boxing", where someone grossly misunderstands what someone's saying and then argues against their own misunderstanding?

I've never heard any reference to the sky being blue because there's water there. People 4000 years ago weren't stupid. Everyone knows rain comes from clouds, not from a blue sky. If you read one sentence in isolation and it seems stupid or perverse, you should first check to see if you're understanding it correctly, before writing it off, particularly if it's from a different language, culture, or time.

My interpretation of this I've given above already: The "waters above" were the clouds. This makes sense of the paradox that the creation story describes light as being created before the sun. Everyone knows that light comes from the sun; so why would anyone make up a story where day and night happen for three days before the sun shows up?

But suppose instead, what was described was from an observer on a particular point above the earth's surface:

1. Sun ignites; you can see light in general but you can't see the sun because all you can see is fog on a water.

2. The "fog" lifts above the water and become clouds, so now there's visible space between the water and the clouds, but you still can't see the sun.

3. The clouds part, and now you can see the sun, moon, and stars.
This is correct. The old Messenger app is 100% native.
> when python code really fails, e.g. in a context with threading, you might as well burn the whole thing to the ground

This sounds weird. Why burn the whole thing to the ground? You've got frames from all threads available. Why would it take days to resolve the issue? Why do you think it's easier to resolve it in common lisp?
This is one of the (many) reasons why I've started using Phoenix LiveView for all the projects, when I can, that need either partial or full client-side functionality.

By simply keeping all the state, logic, and rendering on the server, all sorts of issues are avoided and various optimizations are possible, and I get full server-side rendering for free!

The client-side, meanwhile, via websockets, only sends events to the server and diffs whatever chunks of markup are sent back. Most of this is via server-side provided attributes (phx-click, phx-change, etc.), but for the slightly more 'exotic' stuff I can add my own events.

Obviously there are cases where this solution isn't practical, but this hasn't been the case for the vast majority of my projects.
We should definitely pause ! We are steady but surely moving towards the very dystopia made up by paranoid minds ages ago. I just think the article made it sound like these fears are unfounded.

Nice. Any plans to support other formats than csv? Would be sweet to have a Linux command to tweet from anywhere, or to pass the tweet as a parameter, that kinda thing.

Of course not. That was basically my point - that while some pages are broken in FF, it's not actually their fault (although how much that matters is debatable as the end-users don't care).

Yes, it is. The mods have repeatedly said so.

Quite a few comments seem to imply Messenger was written in React Native, so I want to clarify this is not true. Messenger was a fully native app before the rewrite, too!

RN isn’t the right tradeoff for Messenger — whose new core is written in plain C — but its use at FB in general is growing, with 750+ screens in RN. So the rumours of its death are greatly exaggerated.

I think it’s great to have different options with different tradeoffs available to choose from. But hey, that’s just me.

> how on earth will you have time to cook?

As a non-cook myself, I can fry some eggs in 3 minutes or so, and a steak a bit longer. Sometimes I'll dump a bowl of frozen veggies into a bowl, put a pat of butter on top, microwave for a couple minutes, and it's ready to eat. A can of beans takes a couple minutes.

The idea that to eat decent food requires much prep time in the kitchen isn't true.

I disagree about Python. First, you can code a "manhole" in your code which lets you evaluate arbitrary string as Python code at runtime, basically a shell available via a socket.

Second, you don't even need that. Gdb with some tooling (see pyrasite) lets you attach to an arbitrary Python process and evaluate Python code in its context.
> These opportunities don't come unless you've already got the money and education to make use of them.

The question is if that's even an opportunity. The market may very well fall or be flat for the next decade. Having money does not equate to automatic making of more money - there's plenty of moneyed families who lost it all and went on to became cab drivers etc.

> So what's the future look like? More of the same.

The future looks relatively bright. In general, gigantic, unprecedented numbers of people are lifted out of poverty every year now. The world is already an amazing place compared to where it was just a hundred years ago, and it looks like the trend will continue. There are threats like climate change, resource depletion etc. but it's unclear if they can wipe out all of the gains we've already made.
These canned responses totally miss the point. Good support comes from putting knowledgeable people who truly care on the front lines, and giving them the tools and authority to get things done directly.

I'm sure everyone here's experienced the difference between a support superstar vs. apathetic call centre zombie. High-caliber reps don't need to fake it with cosmetic literary lipstick. On the other hand if you're using these templates to script the interactions of your underperformers, their tone and empathy will lose authenticity as soon as your customer figures out they were cut and pasted by someone who couldn't be bothered to personalize a response.
> Apple apologized for the decision

That's an informal admission of guilt

> explained it, built features to expose the battery health, cut battery replacement costs down to zero-margin levels

That's steps to attempt to regain customer trust, having broken it with the previous decision

> have now agreed to pay a settlement on top of that

That's a penalty for the informal admission of guilt

A wrong was committed, and steps have been taken to try and right that wrong.

In the interim, a number of people saw their phone experience degrade, and didn't know it was down to their battery health. A number of those people bought new iPhones, in some cases at 10x the price of a replacement battery. In some of those cases, those customers, had they known about the issue, would have purchased a new battery instead of a new phone.

I wasn't personally one of those people, as Apple hasn't released a phone that fits my needs since the iPhone SE. My family members are definitely those people, having purchased iPhone 7s when their 6/6s performance degraded, unbeknown to them that it was due to battery health, and could have been resolved with a replacement battery instead of a replacement phone.

This is a company that screwed up, and is now attempting to regain customer trust. This isn't a 'hater' situation. This shouldn't be a 'fanboy' situation. Trust is difficult to rebuild after it has been broken. This is normal human behaviour.

I've also seen forums that cache the results for a certain amount of time, and only return the search ID and page number in the query string.

Cambridge Analytica was made responsible for large scale social media manipulation. I don't think logical positivism lets you confirm this widely believed story. At least not without even identifying the type of manipulation.

What kind of message was employed? Who and how many were targeted? Did it really change the opinions of people and influenced their voting behavior?

These questions were just left unanswered.

I know in my country things are somewhat similar, and you’ll find less scandals listed on the central parties than you will for the left or right wing parties. That is mainly because the central parties don’t go around talking about how the holocaust never happened (right wing) or how violence against the police is warranted (left wing) though.

Isn't Wikipedia's Pizza Effect article therefore an example of the Pizza Effect?

I strongly doubt that. The number of people in my list of friends (400ish) that use stories is marginal.
