What consensus? Bad interfaces on low-end touch screens are terrible, but plenty of Tesla owners would take the screen over the plethora of physical knobs.

Volume and vehicle control/steering are the main inputs where physical makes sense.
Thanks for the links. Flakes seem to be a good way forward.

I've even read most Nix Pills posts, but didn't like them much. Too many details about things that I didn't understand at the time of reading, so the why got lost.
In Nix you get a lot of details, what is missing is often the why and how. For example I wanted to have a CLI command available with a binary build, finding out how to add the CLI tool to the package through wrapProgram in postInstall wasn't fun. Overall Nix is awesome, but here and there it is hell of a lot frustrating. After reading so many hours I should not have to ask how to install a custom package the right way.
The yesod web framework's hamlet templates have this, albeit without the default as far as I know. <section .card> compiles to <section class="card">. If you omit the element, it uses div by default so you can use just <.card> if you prefer.
This is why Canada detained Huawei's CFO Meng Wanzhou. I'm also guessing this news is why Telus, a major Canadian telco, just dropped Huawei for its 5G rollout and went with Ericsson instead. This is in line with other Canadian telcos and I believe the rest of the Five Eyes as well. Although didn't the UK flirt with Huawei for a while there?
Bah. Looks like that came in at v69 of Firefox. Sorry about that.
Try being a kid raised only on classical music. Trust me, it was anything but cool or accepted (even by teachers). I was terrified about not knowing popular music - we even used to have a weekly time in class where a student talked about their favorite band. I didn't know any (and had to find out what were the cool bands to avoid being a complete social outcast).

In space, no one can hear your screen? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
> We're already seeing agent provocateurs in the current protests. White nationalists are purposely trying to incite violent riots throughout the U.S. as part of their "accelerationist" plans.

The amount that this is actually happening is vastly overstated. I've watched this narrative blow up within 48 hours, but the reality is that a lot of the "looting" is from frustrated, angry, low-income people.

In no way is that a racist claim - poverty and extreme inequality breeds desperation and anger and you can't pretend that away.
Is it a term that's usually only applied to androids?
I don't think history supports that. There were essentially zero childrens' rights until post-war. In some locations child abusers were originally prosecuted via animal-protection laws.
I considered immigrating to Switzerland at some point but the heavy emphasis on local languages (even in programming jobs) put me off. It's much more relaxed in the Netherlands.
Think it depends on what you want.

Do you want to be the CEO of an Uber sized company, or do you want want a small lifestyle business, that lets you spend your summers in the Bahamas.
Do you have a source about the said "consensus"? It sounds more like resistance to change than an actual rationale.

You have always had the need to look at the buttons, like reaching out to the radio.

From my experience, the majority of people who drive a car with touch interfaces don't want to look back to old fashioned buttons.
Not clear from history.
Do you think that people will start to read preprints for what they really are? If that's the case then I think they'll never go away. Open review by peers before publication is incredibly useful compared to peer review. Imagine if these 3 papers could have been scrutinized before getting that Lancet peer review stamp that has led to bad policy decisions and research decisions by so many. People would have started questioning Surgisphere's data sooner and wouldn't have taken their results so seriously.
If all you have is a hammer, hit something.

Use the tools you have to identify problems and turn them into opportunities that present high value returns. Be specific and address problems that can be observed to be clearly within measurable bounds of satisfaction. Employ YAGNI.

Today’s biggest concern is specifically about police treatment of the public it serves. The part that is maddening is the poor treatment and poor handling of people they interact with. Equally concerning but less articulated is the polar opposite, where the shining standouts are part of the training set for tuning the model of law enforcement appropriateness and effectiveness.
LA Police Chief Scolded for 7 Hours in Zoom Meeting
The new online format allowed for hundred of public comments which were overwhelmingly negative. The action starts 1 hour and 10 minutes into the meeting.
Hi guys! I am the author of this article. Excited to see it on the first page :)
Social Media are the real monopolies. For the first time we have a business that are provided for free and that are based on the concept of monetising its users. There is zero accountability and it is the closest we will get to a natural monopoly.

It's interesting how they also collude with each other by defaming competitions and circularly maintaining this monopoly. Good example is Apple/Google process to accept new social media companies. It's nearly impossible and to a much higher standard they hold themselves.
iirc After the laughter, Alan Kay continues and says he didn't have Smalltalk in mind either.
100% in browser editing tools (no upload to server)
Recently AudioMass was here on ShowHN. Many people were enthusiastic about the idea of having similar tools 100% in browser with local editing (no need to upload content to server).

Would you have a recommendation of similar tools for:

* video? (like Adobe Premiere, Rush)
* photo/graphic design, i.e. a Photoshop in the browser, 100% local editing, no account to create, etc.
* PDF manipulation, like Adobe Pro, idem: no account to create, no upload
Life After Covid-19
This is so true. There's been a lot of times when I cleaned up my look and wore really nice clothes to work, just because I felt like looking good -- and the number of "going for a job interview?" jokes I got all the time was countless. It's like a requirement to dress down.
TIL: NAIRU. Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment refers to a theoretical level of unemployment below which inflation would be expected to rise. It was first introduced as NIRU (non-inflationary rate of unemployment) by Franco Modigliani and Lucas Papademos in 1975, as an improvement over the "natural rate of unemployment" concept which was proposed earlier by Milton Friedman.

In the United States, estimates of NAIRU typically range between 5 and 6%.

Monetary policy conducted under the assumption of a NAIRU typically involves allowing just enough unemployment in the economy to prevent inflation rising above a given target figure. Prices are allowed to increase gradually and some unemployment is tolerated.

To add some more commentary: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/11/its-tim...

Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater is protected by the 1A as long as it passes the Brandenburg Test of "imminent lawless action".
Well, that unequal allocation has been working fine with ads - one can say much more as long as it is clearly marked as political or commercial ad.
The danger is that what people think and what people are willing to say are systematically diverging. If true, that means that anyone who's trying to observe what people think and make decisions based on it will consistently get things wrong.
Personally, it seems I touch wrong buttons quite a bit on my phone. I also click wrong buttons when using mouse but that is rarer than pressing wrong button on my phone.

The most annoying part is using touch screen in my car for GPS. It might be bad UI but also viewing angle might be making it hard to press right button. But then again I would not expect a physical keyboard in a car.

In physical land, it is very rare that I press a wrong button. Maybe when playing intense video games, I press jump too soon or use wrong gun. Oh and of course while typing.
The craziest thing with this is that this is even a discussion.

US citizens should have a 'right to privacy'. But that's been stripped away due to post-9/11 reforms, among others.
After riding as a passenger in a Tesla I was shocked at how often the driver looked down at the screen and not at the road.
Ha. Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I think I remember this behavior (not using the user background in safe mode) back in Windows 95.
There's clearly a seam around the buttons allowing them to be depressed along with an internal light.

Looks like most car hazard light buttons.

If we're going to speculate based on a picture lets go with the most likely that the physical buttons do have tactile feedback lol.
Disclaimer, I work for GM, any thoughts or opinions are solely my own. I do not work on car user interface.

I agree that anything you need to do while driving should be a physical interface, but some of the 3D haptic stuff looks really cool.

I don't think touch screens are going away because the display is so valuable, and there's so much stuff that is non-critical that you can configure from a touch screen.
This is my experience. I don't get the fascination with Ubuntu. Whenever I hear about something that doesn't work it's always Ubuntu. That could be confirmation bias though. From my perspective it's old & busted vs Fedora's hot & sexy, using more up to date software revs everywhere you look. It's low maintenance (unlike Manjaro/Arch) yet still fresh. You have a choice of desktops, or no desktop at all. There is Fedora Server available. Everything feels more modern and advanced. There is clearly a huge amount of work put into producing Fedora yet it has less users. I don't get the Ubuntu craze. Is it just peer pressure? Am I antisocial if I prefer Fedora to Ubuntu? What am I missing here?
I believe Trello uses Knockout.js

And at least before Atlassian bought it (I haven't used since then), it was a responsive and plasant piece of software.
From what you're describing, it sounds like you're having a very different iPhone experience from the norm. Just curious, what model/iOS do you have?

Just a data point: I have an older (2015) iPhone 6s from work that supports opening the camera app in <1s from lock screen.
> You are wrong. As described in the OP if you buy EV certificate($70) [0] you are all set.

That's an EV SSL certificate, not an EV code signing certificate, which costs significantly more and still doesn't prevent an application from being blocked by antivirus software.
Most commentators here are the "rich people" in the scheme of American wealth inequality. Sure, not the tippy tippy top but members of the relatively affluent professional class.
I think when the whole world is doing it one way and someone goes out of their way to do it another, it really begs the question: why? The only logical conclusions I can think of

A) it’s “cool” in the same way hot wheels police cars four year olds play with have POLICE as the license plate,

B) they want to make it harder to identify the cars by obscuring the default place to look,

C) it is cheaper and makes logistics easier, and they don’t care that they are obscuring identification and considering themselves above the law (because there’s no way they didn’t consider this, and the old police cruisers had proper license plates to boot so far as I can see).
Epstein and Trump proved you can be a hebephile or a rapist and still be in good graces with high society or POTUS so long as you are moderately rich. It's been true since time began, but at least there are no illusions about it now.
I'm sure that's a false statement, there's tons of reasons for people to move out of their country to try something else. Especially considering the amount of opportunity Germany provides compared to Switzerland.
Let's say you really wanna find a Haskell job, how easy is that to do in Switzerland?
Funny enough, I often mark up grid cards as an unordered list of articles:

<ul>
<li>
<article>Card 1</article>
</li>
<li>
<article>Card 2</article>
</li>
</ul>

Since grid cards are often complete stand-alone items with their own headings, footings and body content.
Plenty of people complain that not enough stores like Target open up in low income areas and riots are only going to make this worse.
The question is what you see from the person taking those photographs: both will probably have a portfolio of gorgeous deliberate shots, but the person with the actual camera will have a porfolio with a wide variety of types of photos (not subject matter but actual shot: framing, perspective, distance, depth, etc) whereas the portfolio of cell phone photos will be mostly the same, give or take crops and digital edits.

Just viewing lots of photos from lots of different people doesn't tell you the story of what you can do with the tech you're looking at: you really need to look at what individual people are able to get out of them, and cell phone cameras still drastically lose out there, even the ones with "multiple cameras". There are some elementary things that the effectively-pinhole-cameras on a phone just can't do that are trivial with a physically manipulable lens.
Well written (I laughed), thank you for that.
Flaming editorialization shouldn't be discussed on Hacker News. We can't have constructive discussions when we demonize the other side.
They were. Check out the video. You can clearly see the drivers window is broken, things are being thrown at them left and right, windshield is broken, then the next cop car shows up and people surround it and start punching the windows and windshield.

Love this approach and the thoughts on goal setting to measure success.
My favorite part of the whole fiasco is the low quality medical books that Surgisphere was publishing on Amazon around 2008/2009 with reviews that impersonated big names in medicine. The company was founded in 2008, but it appears that data falsification is just their latest scam.
Angry and frustrated people will always be vulnerable to provocation. We can't pretend that away, but we can't wish that away either. So both claims could be true in some sense, but agent provocateurs (acting under fictitious monikers such as "Antifa", "Anonymous/4chan" or the like) are clearly playing a key role.
And tax policy, the specifics of which I am not qualified to explain. Someone else care to give their take?
Most jobs in the world aren't going to require their employees to represent a company that is presenting itself as the arbiter or defining absolute of free speech. Hell, most jobs it matters very little who you vote for or what you believe, even in the government. If these employees are uncomfortable with the position their employer is putting them in they may want to reevaluate their life choices.
Ironically Java was first and formost influenced by Simula 67 and C++, not by Smalltalk. The first Java version was essentially Simula 67 with a C like syntax. The influence of Smalltalk is generally overestimated.
>Seems like someone would have noticed before

Apparently not, and it's not too surprising either. The only way such a photo would get on is either through the on-device camera, or downloaded from the internet. The former seems most likely, considering that most picture sharing sites probably normalize/sanitize/recompress whatever their users upload. Are there any android phones that produce HDR (ie. 10 bit color, not the effect that's commonly available) pictures?
It's not accurate, it was an argument used in a SCOTUS case that has since been unanimously overturned.

Brandenburg v Ohio established the current standard for free speech, and it's extremely permissive.
This very very poorly written article is the number one reason why universities assign advisors to PhD students!

If this guy would just talk to one single person who knew something about silicon valley then they wouldn't throw out all these useless theories into a vacuum.

You can just look at America for your answers. If you look at the history of silicon valley in the 1970s it was Chip companies in the 1980s it was PC hardware companies in the 1990s it was networking companies and the 2000s it was internet companies and in the 2010s it is transportation companies. The chip cpu companies have been ejected from silicon valley (vlsi design happens in oregon and austin). The PC hardware companies have been ejected from silicon valley (motherboard design and I/o design in Asia and oregon). Cisco is struggling to hang on but they are being ejected from silicon valley. People are packed into cubicles like sardines there.

The fact is if you have a lot of money silicon valley is the nicest place to live in the richest (overall) country in the world. in these fields you are 100% mobile and the work can be done anywhere so people choose to live with their peers in a place with more recreational and cultural opportunities than anyplace else on earth. And yes they struggle to afford it. Yes there is an underclass with lesser skills who might be well-served by moving to a lower income city or state but they are a fraction - maybe 20% of silicon valley.

People leave silicon valley for Boulder or Seattle most often. more land, less housing pressure, and almost as many recreational opportunities!

if a guy like this wants to know the answer he should talk to my friend who started a 20 million dollar software company in Chicago and then moved to Prague to try to repeat it and he knows exactly why software engineering doesn't scale in Eastern European countries! He is back in the USA running an organic foods company!

another possibility is another friend of mine who went to MIT lives in Taiwan and comes to USA gathers software design projects takes it back home writes this back and has his local programmers implement the system. I am certain he has a world of understanding of why software engineering is not uniformly spread worldwide.

End these other places like Vancouver where I worked as a professor it would have been better for me to get a job as a bus driver I would have been able to buy real estate sooner that way. The economics of deferred gratification just doesn't work in many foreign countries.

There is another answer which is probably the same as why don't other countries have professional football teams like the USA. there are feeder programs that start for talented software engineers as age as young as five years old (I interviewed someone yesterday whose mom began teaching him logo at age 5, after she herself took a class in it).

It's that easy - just freaking talk to someone who knows - don't generate ideas in a vacuum!
Sadly while this is true for weirdos, it's also true for fascists, racists, conspiracy theorists etc.

Other anecdote was: "if there is $20 on the ground in Grand Central, don't bother picking it up because if it was real someone would already take it".

Taxes and regulations are complicated, it is not "just hire a contractor", market is not all knowing and all optimizing because there is no global market, each country has its own market, because of taxes, regulations, visas. You still have to have trusted contractor otherwise you risk money. Good luck chasing someone from the other part of globe if something goes really bad.

For setting up branch office, that costs a lot of money and time. If you have medium business and you are a company owner you don't have time to manage an office 1k miles away. You have to spend time getting customers and selling, again you don't want to waste time on learning tax code in some other country. I bet also most people would rather earn money locally and spend time with their family. There is a huge opportunity cost.
Wow, that is an interesting fact... thanks. I've never heard this before, and I don't think it's common knowledge among non-Mormons like myself. Interesting stuff...
Does the total time searching for files exceed the time it would take to meticulously organize them?

I'm a minority so the only clear answer here is systemic racism.
There's also his 1998 attack on Brooksley Born and her proposal to regulate swaps. This proposal would have likely avoided or mitigated the 2008 crisis [1,2].

If I made an error that big, it would take some huge new insight for my research to be taken seriously again.

You make a good point, but finally encryption is just a tool. The virtual and the physical spaces are both domains, whose different nature offers different tools at their disposal. I don't think you can protect anything in the physical domain with the same certainty and mathematical elegance that's available to digital files, but if there were I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Imagine if there were a safe that couldn't be opened by anyone but the owner without destroying its contents. Would you be opposed to that? What if the design mechanism of this safe were as easy to implement as the encryption protocols are? Yes, one day some expert safe-cracker might break it. And in the even farther future the advent of "quantum safecracking" would perhaps make the safe as secure as a luggage lock. In the meantime the police would have to resort to their traditional methods.

Unfortunately all kinds of damning evidence have been lost to time. Fire is older than paper.

Jump for sure, but if it works we stopped a treatment that saves people. Even if it doesn't work we wasted a month to find that out.
Sorry but you are incorrect. Platforms have protections while they act as a free and open forum. This protection ceases to exist the time you start fiddling with the content. Obviously, Terms of Service are there to filter the garbage out but any double standard can end up with your Platform credentials revoked and your business down the drain.
I love every article that comes up on HN/reddit about typography and fonts because the inevitable onslaught of "I find X unreadable and Y delightful because of Z" gives me new fonts to try.

There is some objectiveness to this subject but damned little and 99% of the comments are opinion. As a developer of many years, I've learned to just skip over any post that uses any form of the 'readability' adjective. It's totally subjective, and the poster more often than not will have a religious fervor about their opinion.

So the owner of the account just baited people to report posts. I don't see anything newsworthy here.
So why are those papers with good results are not running on 'low end gpus'?

I don't mean running them, i mean training them.
