Do people still use dribbble? If you can find a style there you like I'm willing to bet it would be more affordable than you'd think.

I've always been surprised by the affordability of one-off graphic requests like these.
This is written from the assumptions that digital skills are a primary concern, and that such skills need guidance and leadership to develop.

I think neither of those concerns are valid.

Teaching fundamental skills, especially from a holistic approach (not where math, physics, history, etc. are taught in isolation), is vastly more important. With that foundational knowledge, children can reason and learn more on their own. This is when basic guidance regarding digital skills can be offered.

Once a broad platform of knowledge and ability to think is established, children (and adults) can learn the technical skills easily. If you approach this education in reverse, people learn how to do a few specific things without being able to think independently about what they are doing or why they are doing it. They will certainly have the motivation to learn on their own.
They really are great. As much interest as there is in user interface design, and as much as it dominates our lives as designed artifacts, the field has very few serious critics. Tantacrul’s videos are a great template of how to make interaction design criticism both thorough and riveting.
I found the default font has the problematic side-effect that when shared through a zoom/google meet type platform, the 'handwriting' becomes illegible. This has annoyed me a lot at $company, which uses it widely.

One thing that's not obvious to me from TFA is why an incandescent bulb is called out specifically. It seems to me that a hanging LED bulb would be just as vulnerable, as might a glass chandelier of sorts.

I also wonder whether Christmas trees with hanging ornaments are vulnerable. These are often placed in a prominent window, so it might be quite easy to start listening in on conversations in people's living rooms or business lobbies.
Interesting. One thing to keep in mind that being in the bottom 10% might be a lot better in one country over another though. I'm trying to think of what kind of statistic would show this. Something concerning "Quality of Life"? Any ideas?
>> The scores of fake identities was clearly wrong but just “gaming the system” is generally not a crime.

Buying an insurance product - financial instrument or not - under a fake name most likely is a crime or at very least a disqualifying act. It's not "gaming the system" as you describe. Gaming would be a novel approach or changing the scale/magnitude of what a normal person would do; normal people don't fake their identity to buy insurance. Your CD example is gaming the system until I start apply for credit cards with a fake identity; that crosses a clear and obvious line.

Unfortunately, criminals aren't going to have higher standards of conduct, even if they "should". That's why we call them criminals. And the police have to deal with these people all day long--there's no easy comparison to other jobs.
Are you trying to say it should not be trusted because it's right leaning, or because it has a history of false claims?
Apple didn’t really have a choice. The choice required a fairly decent amount of legacy support for the next decade or so; I doubt they really wanted to commit to that if they didn’t have to.
When I was starting out I just did as many reps as comfortable in the prescribed time period and then matched the level by the fewest reps completed in any exercise. e.g. I started at A+ for chart 1 for 2 consecutive days, then A+ chart 2 for 3 days, then progressed upwards from chart3 D- as I only did 20 reps of ex. 1.

I failed chart 5, 2 days in a row 30 days ago and have only been doing chart 4 since then, but I exceed the A+ requirements (this morning: 32,24,50,45,450). Tomorrow will try chart 5 again.
That’s a benefit to the collective and I believe mnky9800n is referring to the authors of the extremely beneficial work being exploited via inadequate compensation.
The initial idea of the freely available library was wrong in the first place. You can't legally offer copyrighted stuff for free download. (or maybe you could if you paid all the copyright for each download)
Risk is assumed by founders. I think that's different. Through years of working at a bunch of 'big' places, the selection of leaderships seems more and more arbitrary. The mechanical aspects of the CEO job are not dissimilar from any other job in the company, and one would expect an expert to occupy that position. I didn't intend to make that comment about pay, except that we have collectively accepted a system where an ambiguous set of emotional reactions are massively better-compensated than formal systems of knowledge and analysis.

Who holds police accountable? The DA and IAB are supposed to, but they don't. Instead, other police hold them accountable for having each other's backs through social pressure, professional pressure, and some less-than-legal means. Police back each other up because they're responding to these incentives.
Some of these tools do exactly that. I draw my gross arcs, lines, ovals, rectangles and it renders much nicer ones, that feels like someone with way better motor skills had drawn it. I know Freehand does that.
I wanted a way for dev team leaders to see at a glance, in plain english, how their team was doing so I created DevInsight. Feedback and thoughts very much appreciated!
I can't speak for insurance markets everywhere but in Denmark, you are simply incorrect. Insurance companies have existed as consumers' co-operatives since the first insurance 'company' in Denmark, founded after a city-wide fire in Copenhagen in 1728.

These agreements were never meant to be traded between insurance companies and in most cases simply weren't. The only major exemption from this rule are for companies offering life insurance but they aren't allowed to offer regular insurance.

Instead of acting as financial instruments, insurance companies are required to have, on-hand, the necessary liquidity to pay-out enormous sums.

Tangentially related but super cool, Tantacrul was part of a project[0] with David Bruce where 5 composers of various backgrounds were given the same brief (basic themes, instrumentation, etc.) to see how different people came up with different ideas. Each of the composers are also worth their own follows as well.

This idea was taken from Andrew Huang (who himself took it from a photography channel) who puts the same sample in front of different electronic music producers[1]

At a minimum they need access to a directory the user cannot subvert. If they were entirely contained to $HOME, then an attacker who found an unlocked shell can subvert all the apps. If the packaging format allows running apps or daemons then that means a system compromise.

It is also extremely common for $HOME to be a network drive or even a USB stick, so better to cache stuff in /var which can be assumed to be local storage.
I recently collected nearly £2500 from an insurance company because a policy had been mis-sold when I bought a house.

The policy was sold so the agent could get their commission. There was no credible justification for it. Worse, there was no record showing that I ever signed any paper authorising the charges.

When I talked to the investigation department, they said that off the record, between you and me, record keeping is incredibly poor, and my case was only unusual because I'd questioned the payments - and most people don't.

My partner is going through something similar, but the paper trail in her case is even more tenuous. The only justification on file for thousands of pounds in payments collected from the 90s onwards is a mortgage application she made a few years ago - and didn't even go ahead with.

This is on top of a national Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) scandal which forced insurance companies and banks to return billions of pounds.

Somehow this never seems to be labelled criminal fraud. It's always "Mistakes were made..." and no one is ever personally responsible.

So honestly, I'm finding it hard to be sympathetic to the poor exploited insurers in situations like this.
The answer to your questions is that those are not examples of police brutality, so long as the police respond with reasonable force.

Along with reading your other comments here, I viewed these 4 questions as a bad faith attempt at steering the conversation off topic. When people complain about police brutality, we are not talking about the times when police have to legitimately defend themselves or disarm someone. This thread is specifically about the hundreds of clearly documented examples of unprovoked violence by police in the US over the last few weeks, many of them against journalists, elderly people, kneeling protestors and so on. Please engage with that and don't try to change the subject again.

You’re sort of picking the worst example, the alternate is the fact that Windows has maintained a gargantuan desktop OS market share for decades in large part because of their dedication to application compatibility.
1. Apple designed chips are already faster per-core than a top-end MacBook Pro.

2. There's no reason dedicated ASIC modules for specialized tasks (like video rendering) can't be connected by Thunderbolt 3 just as external video/compute modules are now.

3. There's no reason a dedicated x86-64 dongle can't be sold for ARM-powered Macs that need to run software that hasn't been ported yet. It would be a spectacular coup if those x86-64 dongles had chips made by AMD but I digress...
You're getting slammed for saying insurance is not a financial instrument. I hope what you meant is that it's not supposed to be highly profitable for the insurer. Even then while most customers would like to agree, most insurers would not want to.

As a personal anecdote, I am solidly middle-aged, and feel strongly that past & current negative experiences increasingly hedge me in if I don't actively fight against it. In many ways I've never fully recovered from some semi-disastrous events in my late teen years. Just getting through the essential drudgery of the day leaves me drained of all ambition to advance my position. The gas runs out and I stop caring before I can push through the frustration & uncertainty of a side project to get anywhere. And there's always more drudgery howling at the door. I seriously doubt I'm alone in this.
This is a clear attempt to manipulate opinion, I don't know why HN leaves it up. You could watch 100 videos of disgusting malpractices in restaurant kitchens and begin to think you should never eat in a restaurant again. If after watching carefully select and cut videos on a Twitter propaganda account you believe the police has a systemic issue, you're falling for the same trap. It's the same way media manipulate you with their carefully chosen "interviews" with random people on the street.
I think that looking at Nigeria is instructive precisely because it is so ordinary among developing nations, while still being massive. Nigeria's biggest asset is probably its population, and since Nigeria is one of the most-populated parts of Africa, education is very important for keeping society on its path. At the same time, any lessons learned about improving education in Nigeria can be brought to the rest of Africa and the world.

Maybe the filament is more susceptible to vibration and "flickering". But it may just be my interpretation, the text doesn't really spell it out as such.
Yeah I didn't particularly like that about Signal. If a malignant person were trying to keep tabs on a person (victim) using Signal, they would be able to see that the victim has switched to encrypted messaging (letting the malignant person know the victim is at least partially onto them). Thinking about the use case of a person trying to avoid a hacker/stalker here for example.

"Ok, we want to know Raganwald's age. Point a laser at the mylar Happy Birthday balloons and let's listen in on the singing. Take notes! Are you one, are you two, are you three..."

Um, chief?

"Shhh! I'm listening! Are you fifty-one, are you fifty-two..."

Chief!

"Be quiet, damn you. Ok, he just turned 58. Did you get that?"

Yes, chief. I got that. When I pointed the laser at the balloons, I could clearly see a "five" balloon, and an "eight" balloon, and while Raganwald has some very old-fashioned ideas about programming, I don't think he's eighty-five.

"Good work. Now make me another coffee."
I'm generally for states' rights, but the federal government stepping in to enforce civil rights in the face of local corruption has a long and storied history. Furthermore, the consent decree was already in place, so yes, enforcement should have been pretty quick and should actually have teeth to get these criminals prosecuted.
The value of a human life stems from two components:

1) the value of their consciousness (how overall good or bad it feels to be them)
2) their expected instrumental effects on the nature of all expected future people's consciousness.

Because of the vast numbers of future people which could exist, and the uncertainty of this due to the landscape of existential threats humanity faces, the magnitude of the value of most people's expected instrumental effects vastly outsizes the value of their qualia.

This either makes the typical person's life overwhelmingly valuable, or overwhelmingly deleterious. It's either one, but it's not easy to confidently say which, as it's not perfectly clear whether your average person net adds or substracts to humanity's net risk of extinction. Unfortunately, most people display rather abysmal epistemology and are adding more to technological progress then they are philosophical/epistemic/coordination progress.

This makes it plausible to me that their lives are net-harmful.

Everything you never wanted to know about side effects
You can have the CPU share the die with the secure cores, but you'd need to figure out a lot of complexity, like dealing with memory access pattern leakage due to a shared memory bus. The less things you share, the less the performant parts need to care about security, and the secure parts need to care about performance.
That's a circular argument. Fraud is illegal by definition. The question is: what is it that makes this fraud? (Besides the fake identities.)

honestly... the biggest problems with the police is unions. you de-unionize the police you will see all this stop in no time. over my life i have witnessed personally numerous times when an officer should have been fired for brutality or another offense, but the union used their negotiation power and saved their job. cops know that as long as they have the power of the union legal team behind them, that 99% of the time there will be no punishment or it will be minimal.

cops are entitled because unions make them this way. take away their safety net and you seeing more terminations and less bullies and entitled people applying for the job.
Hello fam! Creator of the Vue version of Chakra UI here!

Chimed in a little late, but I'm grateful for the Chakra UI shoutout!

The React team is currently working on publishing new 1.0 Typescript release for Chakra UI. Lots of new goodies coming in next major version for React!

I've gained some useful insight while reading some of the comments made about the libraries. We'll definitely be looking into this in the near future!

The Vue version was recently released a month ago! We're currently improving the release and coming up with new ideas to make developing accessible Vue apps with Chakra UI easier and more fun.

If you have any questions about the Vue version (or React) as well, I'm happy to take them!

We're also very glad to receive contributors to help us improve Chakra UI. If this sounds like something you're interested in doing, feel free to checkout the issues:

Vue repo: https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui-vue/issues

An Urban Exodus? Not Yet, New Research Shows
If by "compromised already at step zero" you mean "just the way computers worked for decades prior to secure boot", then yeah, I suppose.

The issue that I have heard people bring up is that it could potentially make it harder to install free and open source operating systems and thus turn consumer-grade and relatively cheap computers into less of a tool that you can use the way you want and more into an appliance.

For all the panic that ensued when stuff like secure boot and similar were first announced, and the fact that I still seem able to install my Linux distro of choice, I as somebody who has not gotten personally invested in this am not in a position to know how real such an issue is.

But I would like to know what proponents of secure boot think the technology solves and why what we had before inadequately addressed security needs. Because it seems to me that e.g. Windows will still happily get infected with viruses such that whether the boot process itself has been compromised, or just what comes immediately thereafter, does not matter too much. Or does it?

A couple of other comments mentioned the filaments, but the article says nothing about clear bulbs. They are very much in fashion these days, but most incandescent bulbs are frosted, so it seems to me that if you want to use a laser on the filament, there would need to be some considerations around photons passing through the frosting and reflecting off the filament.
Ask HN: Have you migrated from Go to Rust?
Our current codebase is written in Go, mostly web servers, middleware and queue workers. Some of Rust strengths (memory safety, concurrency, absence of GC) look well suited for our problem domain. We currently have the opportunity to overhaul part of our system to reduce some legacy technical debt, so I'm wondering if it makes sense to rewrite in Rust. I'm not looking to solve a specific technical challenge. Just curious. So, if you migrated from Go to Rust, I would love to hear about your experience.
Except that people would often select the wrong license as it's a human controlled process.
I didn't say there were not any tradeoffs made to support those users with legacy systems.

What do you define as a low end Surface line on x86? I have a Surface Pro 1 that I still use to this day. I also have a GPD Win handheld that's running an Atom processor that is surprisingly good for what it is. I also have some older Atom based stick PCs that are pretty bad (only 2GB RAM), but those are designed for signage and kiosks, for which they are... adequate.
