At the time CSS wasn't as feature rich as it was today. The problem was a lot of the time the designs didn't respect the medium at all. There were even designs that were impossible. The technology was being pushed to do stuff it wasn't really supposed to do.

You are complaining about the wrong thing.

> Despite the popular claim to the contrary, HTML was always part of the presentation layer.

Not at all. It is document format. Designs that do not respect that doesn't change it's intrinsic nature.

This is like complaining that a shoe isn't a very good mallet.
Hey guys,
I'm quite new to programming in Data Analyzing.
Due to the worldwide corona virus situation right now, I decided to get some data and wrote a program with pandas to analize and visualize / make the data more accessible. What do you think about it?
Would you be so kind to pass some to me? Popcorn that is.
I'm not near being a scientist, but the wikipedia page for Resveratrol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resveratrol) lists no health effects, what effects are you taking that for?
You wrote your name on every single card ?

For me that is a dealbreaker without even judging the merits of the product.
Yes, it's the same here (Dominican Republic).

Redundancy and diversification is always a good idea in general, but I find the recent clamor for supply chain diversification due to COVID-19 bit of a knee-jerk reaction, especially considering the virus is now global. Where to diversify to is not an easy question to answer, compare to say a few weeks ago, when the virus was mostly just infecting China.

Most supply chain analysis focus on cost/location/scale (this one too), but ignore the manufacturing and engineering skills that are accumulated from experience, which are much harder to replace. Countries level up to make themselves more valuable. And the cost v quality tradeoff is really hard to figure out.

Apple's failing foray into India's supply chain a few years ago is a case in point [0]. I've written about this too in an India and China comparative context when it comes to Apple [1]. Tim Cook said recently on TV that he's not leaving China anytime soon [2].

Not everyone is Apple. How do you think about the tradeoff depends on your business model. But rushing to "rethink" something as complex as global supply chain, because of an unrelated, intervening event, however severe, seems imprudent to me.

I'm only speaking as a user.

As a user I don't want push notifications from websites.

The main (only?) way html affects style is containment - the hierarchical nature of it and the ability for components to be "inside" other components. I feel like I already bump into this issue quite often with something as basic as whether an <input> should be inside the <label> or next to it. The only way, I believe, to resolve containment issues is with absolute positioning (right?). Given enough time and change requests, every element will eventually have to become absolutely positioned, which would become a mess - do you agree with this and how do you handle it?

The same thing happened to me. In my case, I've basically been in chronic burnout since 2000 because of some poor business and career decisions where I spent too much time working for too little. So every task began to feel like work, and just separated me from what I wanted to do (invent things).

I still can't hardly play video games, but I've been between gigs this last year and have been working with my hands building stuff. That's done more for my psyche than anything, even the self-help reading material that I immersed myself in to recover from burnout, depression and anxiety.

I worry for people living in big cities or around too much technology with no creative outlet. So if you are reading this and thinking "crap I don't even have a garage", try finding a local group into the same stuff you are. I got lucky that there's a local Burning Man group where I live. But there are almost certainly maker spaces or startup enthusiasts somewhere near you. Older folks are surprisingly good at this, so you might get lucky and find a mentor to bounce ideas off of.

I would play video games with any of the interesting people I've met lately. So maybe it's not the games, it's the immediate company.
It's not anecdata. There was a small clinical study which was just completed, and showed almost miraculous success with hydroxychloroquine.

My point is that if the web didn't evolve, then Windows would have further cemented its position. If people made Windows apps instead of websites, then other operating systems and mobile wouldn't have taken off as much because fewer people would make multiple apps than the number of people in our world who made cross-platform web apps.

Also, all of those features that rkagerer complained about would be even more abusable, because in general, Windows apps don't have to ask for permissions to those things. I don't get how someone could complain that it's bad for a web app to be able to ask for permissions to their contacts, and would prefer to have a native app (that can get them silently by default).

Maybe you could replace "Windows" with "iOS" in this hypothetical, which would improve the permissions side of things, but I think it's likely that Windows was only supplantable in the first place because of the popularity of things being on the cross-platform web instead of on native Windows apps, and especially as someone without an iOS device, I'd be pretty sour if the effort on the web went purely into a locked-down non-open platform I didn't have. I think the way the web has approached being a universal open-source/open-standard app platform is extremely exciting. The fact that web app buttons look different than iOS/etc buttons is a small price compared to the benefits, and is the sort of thing that can probably be solved within the model once developers think it's important enough to. (I think modern frameworks and/or the web components standard will provide a good base to get more native-like experiences common in the web.)
While agree that most of these are highly invasive and certainly not a requirement, the Visibility API is actually a good thing. Apps which are running continuous scripts, like games, etc, may and should detect, when they are hidden (i.e. the tab they are in isn't the front most one) and pause. This is explicitely meant to preserve resources on the client machine and to benefit the user. On the other hand, there isn't much to gain from on the app's side, beyond receiving a notification to wake up and to possibly check for any updates that happened in the meantime to be applied.
That allows you to support _some_ dependency ordering from the top level, but not internally. It is very coarse, and also suffers from “recursive Makefile” issues. It’s also less ergonomic: a developer can’t go into a specific sub folder and build ONLY that sub folder and its dependencies. If you change a library, it also can't reliably tell you which other binaries are its dependents. You have to let Make walk the full project tree.

By “additional compilers,” I mean adding additional metacompilers, other languages, and so on. There is QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS, but I can’t figure out how to get it to properly integrate with the dependency graph for the life of me.

Have you ever had to resort to “make distclean” to get a clean compile?
I'm a developer, too. But I find it's easier for me to just use native Linux without all the MSFT cruft getting in the way.

Just like I reckon WINE is useless, too. And for pretty much the same reasons.

If you want to use Windows, use Windows.

If you want to use Linux, use Linux.

If you want to use both at the same time, then you might get away with using a pure Linux guest on a Windows host, or a pure Windows guest on a Linux host, using VMWare or VirtualBox. But these hybrids (WINE and WSL) are the worst of both worlds.
> The video the NYPD kept hidden from the public shows officers removing Jason Serrano from the car, ignoring his warnings that he had just been stitched up after being stabbed in the stomach. The cops decided Serrano's reluctance was an invitation to throw him on the ground and reopen his wound. Once they were done brutalizing Serrano, they decided this might pose less of a problem for them if they came up with something they could bust him for.

> As Serrano curls up on the sidewalk, bleeding from his wound, and as more officers and bystanders gather on the scene waiting for an ambulance, Pastran searches Serrano’s jacket. “We gotta find something,” Erickson tells him. [...] Erickson again returns to the car and continues to meticulously search it, while Pastran briefs a supervisor who has arrived on the scene. Erickson then appears to place something in the car’s drink holder, before opening the front seat’s console and a small toiletry box. Erickson then says “I smell a little weed” just as he appears to pick up and move the little bud he seemed to have dropped in the drink holder moments earlier. Erickson then searches the back of the car, and when Pastran approaches, the two exchange a charged look as Erickson tells Pastran “I see nothing. … You know what I mean?” He then returns to search the front seat area for a third time, this time dropping a larger bud in the drink holder and saying, “There’s a little bit of weed.”

> That's the end result of the NYPD's internal investigation deciding two years ago that planting evidence was no big deal. The cop went back out on the street with a partner who enabled evidence-planting. Serrano didn't spend two weeks in jail but he did spend five days handcuffed to a hospital bed. He pled guilty to the resisting arrest charge, even though it was a blatantly bogus arrest.

As I usually ask in these sorts of threads: what are we going to do about this?

Many police officers seem to have just the right combination of poor incentives, mental illness, and power-drunkenness sufficient to result in wanton lying, lawlessness, and victimization.

This is not a situation compatible with a society in which thoughtful, calm, mature innovation unto a pursuit of happiness can occur.

So what's the plan? How can we approach this with an adult disposition and put an end to this bizarre experiment of giving the state unchecked power?
My questions still remain unanswered. Regarding the examples you raised: the liar paradox can be solved without breaking explosion by observing that all assertions carry the implicit ending "and this sentence is true". The liar sentence then becomes "This sentence is false and this sentence is true", which is simply false. As for Russell's paradox, as far as I know this has been solved in ZF theory, although admittedly with a few extra axioms needed. Not sure about Gödel's sentences.

It just doesn't seem worth it to me to suspend the fundamentals of thinking just to solve some paradoxes that can anyway be solved within our current model of logic.
Just wanted to mention that changing the tab name to "Steve says..." and back to your normal attention, just because the tab is in the background, feels like a terrible way of getting my attention. It's mostly annoying but then when I go to the tab, there is no Steve saying anything! Would expect something happened. But then putting the tab in the background shows the switching of tab name again. Not very nice UX.
It's also taken on a long term basis. The risk of side effects for short term use is lower.

It's also important to understand the medication interactions, which can be quite serious.

But how will you know that the extreme measures weren't warranted, if they're successful?

The world's leaders are stuck between a rock and a hard place here: do nothing, and be known as the leader who didn't act and caused the deaths of thousands or millions. Act with appropriately extreme measures and prevent as many deaths, and everyone will think the measures weren't warranted because the measures were successful.

It looks like he didn't reverse-engineer the Netflix data protocol. What he did is use a HDCP-stripper box to get access to a raw decoded HDMI signal. The HDCP-stripper also had a screenshot function which he used to get snapshots of the video he was playing.

He also monitored how much network traffic was being used while playing Netflix videos to get an estimate of the bitrate that was being played. The 4K videos were consistently around 18Mbps, which is reasonable.

FWIW, you can (normally) get a HDCP stripper from AliExpress for $10. This isn't particularly exotic hardware.
Microsoft really wants users signed in to a Microsoft account on Windows. One of their main leverages for this is encouraging people to use the app store in Windows, which doesn't fully work if you're just logged in to a local account
Yes, it's a nitpick. The comparison to Multi-Paxos seems fair because it makes similar assumptions (unless re-configuring the relay network after a leader failure is somehow difficult, but I wouldn't expect that).

My point is that it would be nice to benchmark protocols that take into account the issues I brought up, and measure what happens in the worst failure scenarios they are supposed to tolerate. Otherwise we get a false sense of what performance can be achieved if one really cares about fault-tolerance.

This small issue does not diminish the main contribution of the paper in any way.
it seems to be prescription only, so shortages due to hording should be minimal...
It's way too nasty a drug IME. The side effects can be really unpleasant, not even considering the possible long term effects.

Not true, In my experience fitted SVMs have thousands of support vectors. The hinge loss is supposed to be less sensitive to outliers.

In general, I think SVMs are a 'terrible idea' because you can often get better fits at much faster run times with gradient boosting or you have to spend a lot of time getting the kernel just right.

But that is because Stackoverflow is fine with their employees running a cheap, un-complex system that works (I can't remember the last SO outage!), and their employees are also happy with this.

Great example!

Far too often we introduce complexity to manage complexity. Then we fail to manage the complexity that we created, and conclude that we need even more complexity!

Taking the simple approach seems impossible and utterly scary. But it works more often than most would believe.
You seem to be setting up a false dichotomy between your original position ("that's too vague to justify destroying the economy") and your current one ("we should do this all the time for other diseases"). I reject that, as anyone who believes in logic should. There are places we can draw a line that affects behavior. I believe that one such line is between an immediate danger of someone dying for lack of life-saving resources vs. a situation where any such danger is more attenuated. You might think the line should be elsewhere, and that's fine, but you don't even seem to be trying to define one. Instead you seem to be looking only at the extremes, and using both as an excuse to argue with anything in between. Pretty low even for HN.

BTW, I have actually discussed this with children, and they have no trouble understanding how the current situation is different than flu. Maybe that's because they're not obfuscating for the sake of argument itself.
