The United States already does what I'm proposing, it's just a question of implementation. For example, the minimum wage dictates that if your business is only profitable when you pay employees $5 an hour your business doesn't exist.

Capitalism in the US isn't so unfettered that only the market determines whether businesses exist. Some countries have stricter regulations around employee treatment (France started mandating paid vacation in the 1930s) and some have less strict (Singapore doesn't have a minimum wage), but this isn't some new idea.
This is the real issue. Other commentors saying that not ever website needs to be constantly redesigned is true, but the rest of the web has been redesigned around it. The Java website is losing its legitimacy (however unfairly) because of the continuing march of website design.

Where does this extract allow for the user be guided off the site? As far as I can see, it demands that the user can ‘freely give’ the choice to access the site without using cookies.
> The problem with Microsoft is that they “simply have no taste.”

You can say that about Apple today too. After all, in iOS7 they copied the Flat UI from Microsoft, including thin fonts, and buttons that don't look like buttons and so on. Although more recently they have removed thin fonts in their designs.

> While the cookie initiative has a good intention, I really don't think it's actually useful. Large amounts of the population(willing to bet north of 99%) have absolutely 0 clue what cookies are in the context of the web or what they imply. Most people just click on "accept", just to get it out of their way. And I do too often enough, granted I know the site I'm on.

But isn't that exactly an argument for why it is useful? If a site puts this big banner in your way, and you have to get rid of it to navigate, and if it seems consequence-free, then you'll do it. This is just saying that there has to be a way past the cookie-consent wall, so that the decision is no longer between "agree to this apparently without consequences" or "no content", but among "agree to this apparently without consequences" or "decline". Maybe lots of people will still choose the former, but at least you get a meaningful alternative, and that'll reduce the people allowing cookies (and, more importantly, give an option to those who do know about what they're agreeing to).
Materialism (of the mind) is just the notion that minds are the result of physical things (such as brains) doing physical things with physical information. QM has not invalidated that view any more than it has invalidated the view that stars or computers or the weather are the result of purely physical processes.
Oooo, I like this, thanks for the tip :)
I think GP was referring to Hugh, which was the idea of one person and not actually a virus (they decided against that plan before the end of the episode as well). But also there were various events during Voyager - at least twice the Borg were stopped by an infectious agent. Icheb's people for example were reduced to a bunch of farmers with genetic engineering skill, before they created their pathogen. Then in the finale, it was Admiral Janeway going rogue, not with the backing of any society.
I think with the docks it's a no-win situation, from what I can tell the surface docks contain a display adapter (maybe 2 now for the new one since it supports multiple displays?), a NIC, a USB hub, charging circuitry, and some other random stuff. The price of all that seems to add up. I originally assumed the video out on the surface dock was just passthrough but it's not, it has its own display hardware with its own quirks and you update the firmware on it to change the behavior in some cases.

In my experience a comparable USB-C dock of decent quality for my macbook is pretty expensive too, though certainly not surface dock level. I think this is just the situation we're in with how laptops and docks interact now. If more of the smarts were in the laptop than the dock the dock would probably be a lot cheaper, but that seems like it might drive up the price of the laptops.
Because douchebags like TC and whatever service they're using will come up with ways to annoy the fuck out of you so that people will go back to blind consent.

I don't know about the 30%-35% number exactly, but the idea they're getting at is what is the "real" interest rate. Interest rates are all relative. If you can take a loan out at a 15% interest rate is that bad? Well if a bank is offering you a savings rate of 20% - congratulations you just made a lot of money.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TB3MS

Take a look at the T-bill rates in the 80s. To straight-faced say "I'm not concerned about these rates," and make a comparison to interest rates in the 80s is ignorant at best. There was an intentional effort by the government to raise rates in order to fight inflation. We are so far removed from the interest rate environment of the 80s...

To be fair, Apple generally buys small companies and adds their capabilities to their toolbelt, rather than growing its size through acquisition and Amazon is similar.

Now if you mean LINES of business, then yes, they both regularly expand into new lines of business and then dominate them, either in skimming the profit (ala Apple) or just altogether (Amazon.)
I wonder at what point we can spot the SMBHs/supernovae that had given rise to our own solar system, opening a whole new chapter in pre-solar history. I guess it should be possible to estimate the age of the other two (visible) stars in this system.
> Because (possibly unlike with your Rails example?) the suggestion that this is possible to do by improving the VM side is, to be blunt, a lie. A VM is a fundamentally leaky abstraction, in far more ways than just the timing behavior (i.e. performance), and they need for both won't go away by just "fixing" the VM side.

The fun part about my example is actually that he saw a 60% performance difference, but only recovered 38% of that by fixing the one bug that was exposed in the talk.

It was decidedly a bug. Refusing to cop out and say "it's a necessary evil, and can't be fixed" got him that 38% boost in one shot. The remaining ~22% is still a problem that has yet to be explained completely, but now it's not as big (or soon won't be, when they resolve the issues created by fixing the bug, which AIUI it couldn't be merged yet...)

I do get your point, and I grok that parts of this problem simply can't be fixed outright. But from my perspective, the bug isn't that WSL2 is missing features of WSL1, it's that WSL1 performs 60% slower for my use cases (*not an actual measurement) while doing what appears to be, at least from my perspective, basically what is meant to be the same task. I don't really know why, except by what some greater experts have shared, some of that which I have acquired by osmosis.

Your use cases are valid, and we mostly agree, when you say the limits of the technology have not been reached, it seems like we're both arguing that there are simply more bugs yet.
The Borg was heavily implied to be a caricature of Western Capitalism. The similarity is not accidental.

I think reading through all the examples https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/examples/RE... makes it clear that the author has put quite a deal of thought into how these features make it easier to write clear, understandable and maintainable code.

Even the example you point to goes to say: "Let's use the integrated interpreter to define a useful build tool. Software is the subject of constant revisions, and it's useful to mark a distributable with the exact version of the source-control archive it was built with." It's clear (to me) that the developer is not advocating using terminal input in the middle of a build. I haven't used terminal input since I was a child; I don't think the developer expects anyone to take that as a serious example.

And the blog post is pretty plain at that.

Microsoft could really stand to learn a few things from Google/Apple product presentation imho.
Why not furloughs or temporary part-time? I thought this was a rocket ship. Why would they have even consider an IPO raise if they weren’t looking to massively expand? Are they going to rehire all these people when business picks up? Not that I disagree, but it smells like vanilla-variety cuts for efficiency/performance.
I've had the same experience, the thing eventually becomes a nightmare with display issues if you're using the dock, which I think most are. We also have had multiple people's Surface Book 2 batteries start to swell to the point that the lid is parabola when you close it. I've recently had a show-stopper charging issue too, which is very obnoxious when you're in the middle of work.
I got to play with the 50" Surface Hub and it blew my mind. Even if a bit laggy and not altogether precise with gestures. 4K video, pressure sensitive drawing, handwriting recognition and indexing. Going back to a 15" screen felt strange afterwards. Very "Minority Report". I believe there is a large format 85" Surface due shortly ;)
Well, DoorDash focused on food delivery since day 1. It wasn't Uber's focus until recently. Even if they are doing a great job now, it will take time to close the gap.
Law that dictates a dialog / consent for individual website to implement has shown already to be just a nuisance.

Instead EU should make mandatory that browser vendors create standard "blocker button" clearly visible in the toolbar from which user can globally disable trackers, and perhaps preview them.

This way each site does not have to do the annoying dialogs which users just mindlessly hit accept anyway.
Do try something more obscure than just display:none or similar. The bots seem wise to that.
The fact that `KillUserProcess` is default to on is not something that systemd forces to your distro, there is even a flag to disable it at build time. It does makes sense in many situations (like IoT, embedded, etc.), that is why it is on, but distro mantainers also needs to know what is better for its users (that anyway is a really small part of Linux users, embedded is much bigger).
I'd say that Starfleet is pretty unified though. Individual diversity was absolutely strength, but Starfleet was unified, and when it was divided that was major plot points.
I am now doing the opposite: When I need to dev for Windows or something (usually for a contract), I spin a Win10 VM on QEMU-KVM.

If you guys have been virtualizing on VMWare or Virtualbox, try KVM. It's blistering fast and the whole SPICE protocol is amazing. You can actually get a usable, snappy 2+ desktop with dynamic resizing, audio redirection and USB redirection (which is SO good i was able to test using a USB soundcard and I got sound to play without underruns! quite a feat)

Do it!
The borg were beaten by a show that was desperately running out of steam and enthusiasm, falling back to mediocre writing to wrap up plots and endings.
That's not the law, that's the implementation that's the issue. The same EU body quoted above has passed the message for a long time that that's not needed eg for purely technical cookies.

My understanding is canvas also applies AA the rectangle lines still look AA just at a higher DPI.

It looks to me like the rectangles done in WebGL are drawn at the scaled resolution (1920 x 1080) vs the unscaled resolution (3840 x 2160), whereas the canvas is DPI aware and drawing at the full 4k resolution.

I would need to dig further but basically in WebGL the rectangles are drawn to a texture at the lower res then upscaled just like a straight image of a rectangle prerendered would be at the lower dpi.

Edit:

Looks like paper.js is specifically HiDpi aware and it can be turned off for better performance which would be more fair when compared to the other implementations:

http://paperjs.org/tutorials/getting-started/working-with-pa...

hidpi="off": By default, Paper.js renders into a hi-res Canvas on Hi-DPI (Retina) screens to match their native resolution, and handles all the additional transformations for you transparently. If this behavior is not desired, e.g. for lower memory footprint, or higher rendering performance, you can turn it off, by setting hidpi="off" in your canvas tag. For proper validation, data-paper-hidpi="off" works just as well.

Also PixiJS seems to support HiDpi if resolution is set properly:

https://pixijs.download/dev/docs/PIXI.settings.html

// Use the native window resolution as the default resolution
// will support high-density displays when rendering
PIXI.settings.RESOLUTION = window.devicePixelRatio;

Why ? So that manufacturers feel they have to change something, anything, to satisfy spec-only reviewers ? And then we end up with an apple keyboard fiasco ?
s/trivial/possible/. But yes, this is a wishlist item for me (in piet-gpu) as well, partly because of the bloat issues and partly because I want to be able to use the most advanced features (subgroup operations) that the shader languages provide, and there's currently a pretty big gap there.
The problem as always is that, like Javascript, some cookies are still useful (saved login and 2FA status).

Power users, upon request, should be presented with and asked to accept/reject/blacklist/whitelist cookies.

Interestingly the only browser I know of that does this is Lynx, which is text-only and does not support Javascript.
This is a decision of your distro mantainers, they could also default to unbound, dnsmasq, bind, or anything else. They use systemd-resolved because it probably solves some problem for them, even if this problem is reduced burden of maintenance.
I don't click every consent banner and you also shouldn't. You'd be surprised how many accept a No just fine, which is the intended use.

In the US creditors have liquidation preference in bankruptcy. You give that up if you convert to shares but gain some measure of control if the company is still solvent. It's a tradeoff I'm guessing. It's possible they have more to gain in bankruptcy in certain cases.
> Have cookie consent pop ups made the web better?

Those that are compliant have. 99% of them are still noncompliant so I think it's too soon for a ruling yet. If this law is actually enforced then websites will only have choices of 1) compliant banners/popups in which few will consent 2) finding alternative business models 3) going out of business.

Right now, most sites do 4) just be noncompliant for now because 1..3 means we go out of business anyway.

This is still a work in progress.
Exactly. Not all tech darlings are in the same industry.

The "disrupters" disrupt oligarchic industries with stagnant business models. They don't "disrupt" the actual industry they're in.

Anything travel related is going to be screwed for the foreseeable future. There will be very little international travel for at least another 6-12 months. Cross-European travel restrictions are already being talked about. The US will continue to have community transmission in their "open" states. There is no business travel.

Things are moving (food etc). People aren't.

Australia and New Zealand have discussed opening their travel and perhaps expanding that to the Pacific nations, which have been mostly spared due to isolation.
The guideline is not about criticism, it's about a particularly tedious form of repetition. It's a bit like its neighbor, the guideline that asks people not to comment on comment voting in comments.

HN users are not shy about making criticisms, and any HN user who has one can easily find a more substantive way of making theirs. Actually, if a comment showed up that broke that guideline and had something genuinely interesting to say, it wouldn't be a problem—it's just that they never do.
Can you please open source your frontend code? The net absolutely needs a captcha that has made a promise to not run tracking code, and sticks to that by providing transparency. Google is not doing it and has only increased the amount of tracking code. If you're doing things correctly the obfuscation of the data coming from the backend is what would be critical to keeping bots out, not the actual code administering the turing test on the frontend.
Thank god, I never understood the EU directives that didn’t consider that by making sure things were implemented at a browser level it would cause an order of magnitude less work for web developers/site owners and ensure a consistent experience for end users.
I get why so many content driven websites just block EU ips. This is a compliance nightmare.
Me too.

Now that we've got that out of the way, care to discuss the question I asked?
Well that’s the issue. I need to access external websites that way. You could imagine it as a user entering a URL, and a service fetching that URL. To ensure this service doesn’t accidentally fetch an internal site, it transforms the URL to one with a . at the end.

So, I need all websites intended to be fetched this way to support the proper DNS RFCs.

Ever since Caddy and Traefik became a thing my tool has stopped working for more and more non-standard webpages.

The framework layer of WPF is implemented in C#. WinUI is all C++, including the framework and the compositor that makes the DirectX calls.

In the framework layer, typical UI updates are faster because the WinUI data binding system uses code-generation rather than the reflection-like runtime binding system that WPF has.

WinUI also includes the rather incredible Windows.UI.Composition API’s, with things like ExpressionAnimation that enable lots of cool animations (like parallax, sticky header, or cursor-relative) at a stable 60 FPS.

I once asked Rasmus about this face-to-face, during one of his presentations, specifically his thoughts about the pThread extension (https://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.pthreads.php), and he responded that it was not required in a web context, as web servers already have threads per request so its a mute point.

if each web server thread that serves a request ends up spawning a full PHP process then it's not a mute point.

pretty hard to proceed with some code that works with a DB when the connection can't be established, so proceed with what exactly other than error handling?

it's a synchronized full forked process. Because the runtime was written using memory unsafe C features from the start. By design doesn't excuse it being a bad design.
