The same way every other country has gone about this.

This has been done after wars for example (after WWII), and after many different conflicts in different countries in Africa. It would take a long time and would require tightening laws gradually and at the same time encouraging people to hand in their weapons.

This is not particularly difficult logistically, the only difficulty is in the American psyche apparently, which seems completely incompatible with this simple common-sense measure. The outcome would be fewer deaths by cop, fewer deaths in burglaries, and fewer mass shootings.

There is abundant evidence from around the globe that limiting the ownership of guns helps limit deaths.

> That's all there is to it.

I think that's the main point where we disagree. I think there's a hell of a lot more to it.

I remember noticing when I was in school that while I could learn a variety of things, there were definitely subjects that were a lot easier for me and others in which I'd struggle no matter how hard I worked. I also observed other people with very different profiles of easy and hard subjects.

I barely passed organic chemistry. I studied hard, but it just would not "take." I had a friend who breezed through it. Anything that involved writing though? I'd breeze through it. I could get As in any class that involved understanding concepts and writing about them with almost no effort. This same friend struggled to write an essay.

I actually dropped out of vertebrate anatomy. Tons and tons of clades and names for discrete things. I found a way to adjust my major requirements to avoid taking it. Otherwise I would have had to switch majors. There is no way I could have passed that class with any amount of tutoring.

It's like I have a photographic memory for concepts, but can't recall discrete facts. I kept looking for the underlying patterns in organic chemistry but it turns out we don't understand it well enough to have those... we just know a ton of reactions that do things. I flounder badly in subjects whose facts can't be attached to an abstract conceptual framework, but I can read about a concept once and I understand it forever.

As a programmer I really love IDEs with "code insight" and other features that basically consult the documentation for you in real time. I get everything about the concepts and algorithms but can never remember the order of arguments on memcpy() even after using it for 20 years. I know memcpy() is there and what it does conceptually though, so it's fine since the IDE will show me which argument goes first.

My point is that different people who are "smart" can differ radically in their ability profile.
The problem with summing up a multi-dimensional tradeoff as simplistic negative advice is that it creates FUD that sticks with us indefinitely. Instead of acknowledging the goal we needed to work towards and getting everyone onto the same page, we end up arguing over a trivial issue as the nonsensical advice continue to echo. The biggest benefit to everyone wearing masks would be that we could finally stop talking about masks.

Remember spending a few weeks agonizing over how to ramp up ventilator production, rather than focusing on masks? And then finally coming around to masks could be useful, with everyone championing DIY cloth masks? We're four months into this thing and most everyone is still proudly wearing those ersatz face-rags, even spending effort to "improve" them as as fashion accessories. Meanwhile a proper N95 costs around $3 to produce and distribute - I thought we were supposed to be an industrialized society!
I'm using Strapi & 11ty too. I have 'pages' and 'posts' with properties 'content' and 'locale'. That's how I manage i18n. That's for the main content. For small strings used in other parts of the UI I'm using json files with i18n strings that 11ty injects into the views.
That was a lot of words to say “Swap allows us to push infrequently used pages to disk during memory usage spikes to avoid triggering the dropping of useful file pages, or worse, the OOM killer.”
Hi HN! We made Joon with the goal of making chores and doing other to-dos fun for children. Basically, the parent assigns and reviews tasks (that we call quests). When the child completes them, they get coins and experience points that allow them to buy items in-game and level up their characters.

Currently we are in beta and would love to hear any feedback!
I'm sure that very smart people have risen to the challenge of supporting strings in Haskell, and it is therefore possible for a sufficiently motivated user to process text decently after all.

But the problem is that strings must be a built-in feature in any programming language that wants to be taken seriously (with an exemption for specialized ones that don't need strings, like GLSL). What would you think of a hotel that doesn't have mattresses but allows guests to bring their own?

Extracting tidal power from estuaries is another similar pipe dream - people have been discussing building one in the Severn estuary for as long as I have been alive.

Tide power is intermittent but extremely predictable and not tied to the diurnal cycle, which would be advantages.
Videos are great for motivating me to dig into a topic, but when I actually have to apply that knowledge then I get quite frustrated.

There's really no good way for me to make a bibliography of videos. And even when you do find the bit you care about, the presentation is rarely at the speed of absorption, so you end up pausing and rewinding a lot (and sometimes, there simply is no rewind button, and jumping back 15 seconds in an hour video? forget about it.)

I recall during the dotcom boom someone discovered that there was just a little bit of unused bandwidth in TV signals and wanted to earmark it for adding hypertext to the video, so that with a smart tv you could jump to further reading on a subject. This seems like a best of both worlds situation and I was disappointed to see it go nowhere.

I wonder if there's a way to do something similar with the CC data in videos...
Searching Amazon, on DDG, in UK local mode, I get as my first results:

- Amazon.co.uk (UK)

- Amazon.com (US)

- Amazon.in (India)

- Amazon.com / prime (US Prime)

- Amazon.ca (Canada)

On Bing conversely I get:

- Amazon.co.uk (with links to sections of the site like books/today's deals etc. etc. underneath)

- Amazon.com/uk (US site but redirects to UK site)

- Amazon.co.uk Your Account Section

- Amazon Prime (UK)

- Amazon Deals (UK)

Bing's results are clearly more UK centric and therefore more relevant to me as a British citizen.

For that reason I can't really make the full-time switch to DDG as I keep !g'ing to get UK results and it becomes a pain.
Citation needed. That doesn't match my experience at all. When Activity Monitor shows high CPU in the process list, it corresponds to high CPU in the CPU monitor.

Well, here everyone gets the same child benefits per child. Everyone gets the same generous amount of child leave. If you're poor you can get different kinds of benefits like for housing, but hardly enough to leave me with less money than someone who can't otherwise afford rent.

Yet we see the same tendency here. Lower income families tend to have more children despite earning less in net. So I think you have to at least consider the possibility that it has less to do with the financial hardships, at least in absolute terms of income, than with some correlated factors in your home country.

For example, the low income population here are generally less educated. Perhaps people end up more aware of the consequences of having children through education. Maybe there's an underlying factor that leaves people with both a propensity for academic achievement and an inclination towards having less children, like time consuming dedication to an interest or a career. Perhaps higher income parents have higher and more costly standards for their children.

I don't know what country you live in that the middle class generally ends up with less disposable money than the lower class through wealth redistribution programs, but it's not the case here or in many other countries where the negative income-children correlation can be observed.

I won't comment on darwinism or the idea of Idiocracy as a realistic outcome of any kind of selection process other than to say that it's stupid. If you are able to have children but won't, you have yourself to blame for nature selecting against you, if that's at all an issue to you.
Grid.js – a table library that works everywhere
I think you might actually want to search for products that are positioned as "monitors". Some of these are pretty reasonably priced and should offer what you're looking for.

For example, I am using an LG LG43UD79 currently. This is a 42.5" IPS 60hz 4k "monitor" at a decent price (I think I paid $399 at costco.) it has HDMI and USB-C inputs, but no smart functionality at all, no tv tuner, etc. The color and picture are pretty good after calibration. I normally use the monitor for programming, web browsing, chatting, etc but also do some very light gaming and it is fine for that.

I recommend this monitor and am hopeful that there are some more modern equivalents of it when I inevitably upgrade in a few years as I love the large monitors for getting work done.

Report URI is run by Scott and was featured in the article.

By definition you have to run such a service entirely separate from your own infrastructure: you should use a different CA than your other site(s), a different domain name for sure, preferably a different infrastructure host etc. It makes a lot of sense to use something like the Report URI service for it.
Ads, but without targeting. They sell the search terms entered in an anonymized way. So you can buy an ad that will display to everyone who searches DuckDuckGo for "vacuum cleaner". You cannot buy an ad that will display to women aged 30-40 who live alone in a zip code where the median income is above $100k when they search "vacuum cleaner".
Hey, nice post!

I'm the guy from the sway github issue mentioning that the chrome autoscaling had been fixed, so maybe you need a more up to date chrome, or maybe there was some kind of regression. (I had some other bug with sway to do with the tray, so haven't been using it).

One other suggestion for an alfred/spotlight alternative is dmenu (or bemenu for a wayland compatible one if you go for sway), there's also rofi as an option which does the same thing iirc.

Yahoo Search does a similar thing AFAIK.

Yeah, Yahoo used to have their own search index, and very developer friendly search API called Yahoo Boss. That was actually the main source of DDG results originally.

Yahoo has since given up on Search, shut down the Boss search API, and is now also fed by Microsoft Bing.

> As a creator, it’s laziness

You can see this when you watch a short video or segment and the presenter stammered or misspoke and they couldn't be arsed to just do another take to fix it. As someone who had a bad habit of not rehearsing presentations before giving them, I now can't unsee that bad habit in others.

I have used DDG for the last few years as my search engine and phone browser. I'd like to move off chrome on the desktop as well but it feels like the changeover costs of losing some small chrome extensions that I love would be too high.
We're mostly talking about the same thing. Simply put, I'm primarily talking about the distinction between choosing something because it looks cool – and sometimes what looks cool is a very important constraint – vs having intention in one's design choices. Like you point out, things like prominence, progressive disclosure, etc. Those aren't superficial choices; they actually serve a purpose, and are a way to fit within a set of constraints.

For most, yes, it will end up represented in 'how it looks', but I'm underlining the importance of 'how it got there'.

(Aside: worth just highlighting for everyone that not everyone is sighted, that accessibility matters, and that not every design choice is visual.)

Revenue isn't Bing's only goal.

Bing also gives Microsoft:
- a relational knowledge graph
- a way to annoy Google

"Annoy Google" is a "commoditize the complement" play.

Bing (and the Bing powered Yahoo + DDG) create a viable alternative where otherwise there is none. Google now has to constantly spend to keep their search tech ahead, and Mozilla and Apple can now threaten to switch default search engines forcing Google to pay protection money. Altogether, Bing forces Google to burn around 15-20 billion per year. This is money Google can't use to poach Microsoft engineers, or push G-Suite against Office, or Chromebooks against Windows, or Google Cloud against Azure.

Microsoft already has open sourced many key Bing technologies, and actively pays consumers to search with Bing. The primary goal isn't revenue, it's commoditizing search.

Some of our fiercest enemies don't fear death anymore, they yearn for it, to be with their God. Let's set up the meeting.
Great point. I wasn't even thinking of this in a larger context. I wonder if the downside is more important than the upside. So if it's just me trying to build an experimental aircraft, at worst I die. If I'm a city planner, I can make a bunch of lives miserable. Not sure what the upsides would be in either case, but the number of people affected by the downside is pretty easy to tell. So maybe the fewer people affected by a bad outcome, the more radical your ideas can be.
> Even in the most optimistic CO2 reduction scenarios, we still need negative emissions

I think this is something a lot of people miss and I'm not sure why sequestration as a whole is a controversial subject (well I don't think planting more trees is _that_ controversial, though there are nuances people aren't usually aware of). We don't just need to be carbon neutral, we need to be negative. Plus there are many industries that we have no neutral method, such as concrete and steel production. Most people think if we solve energy and transportation we solve the problem instead of only solving 60% of the problem.

The other important factor here is that emissions are the problem. If coal plants sequester 110% of their emissions, there's no problem (well... in terms of CO2eq). The fact that this is a controversial subject is odd to me because it seems like the fastest way to get carbon negative. Sequester coal and natural gas plants until we can switch to a fully green (or green + nuclear, depending on your country's/region's constraints) system.

But if we talk about energy + transportation only being 60% of the issue (and US + Europe only being 30% of global emissions) it becomes much more important to talk about getting to NEGATIVE emissions, not zero (plus this helps with the 40 year lag of CO2 and temperature). And for those saying that other countries should take up their share 1) do you want to make that bet? You've all worked on team projects. We can't force them. 2) How do you ask a developing country to choose between hospitals and green energy? They don't have enough for both and one clearly has a shorter return on investment in number of human lives saved. (We can pick on China though, they're rich enough that they don't have to choose, but US and Europe need to be picked on as well).
I'd be inclined to agree, but building a new competitive search engine is a big ask. O.o

I was nearly Mac exclusive for years before switching to Linux. Similarly to the author I mostly use a browser, VS Code and a few small utilities, although mine are mostly simple Qt GUI apps.

My thumbs are well trained to use the keys to the sides of the space bar as the main modifier. My solution to the Command/Control issue is to swap the key positions with xkd so that it's always [Win][Alt][Ctrl][Space][Ctrl][Compose]. (Since Macs and PCs swap Alt and Win/Cmd, you need different xkb options for each type of keyboard.)

As for terminals, if you set VTE-based terminals (such as GNOME Terminal) to use Ctrl+C for copy, it will automatically set Ctrl+Shift+C to send SIGINT. Since I don't use many terminal apps that use modifiers, this works for me, and I set paste to Ctrl+V as well.

I mostly use Alacritty now, so I've set it up to do the same thing for Ctrl+Shift+C. Come to think of it, I still need to do so for VS Code's terminal, for the few times I use it.
I would have gone with something by AC/DC.

The United States has an "Influenza-Like-Illness" surveillance system in place. In my area, if you look at the data [0], the 2019-2020 season was already above average by week 42 or 43 (October 2019). By December 2019, it had significantly spiked, but was similar to the 2017-2018 season. It wasn't until late January or early February 2020 that it had outpaced 2017-2018 and by then the world already knew it was Covid-19.

We are looking at historical information with knowledge that wasn't available at that time. You have to be generous in interpreting what you see because of this. This analysis of Wuhan hospitals needs to be more than 2018 vs 2019. What about 2017, 2016, etc?
