One human is complex already. People, groups of humans are even more problematic. Social media is a hard problem because people are hard to get a handle on. And I think that's good. People should be allowed to be skeptical, to have anxieties, and to be able to look out for the interests of their people/community. Just because one Karen saw a suspicious person and wanted to let all her neighbors know to be careful doesn't mean Nextdoor/social media is bad. People looking out for each other is a good thing! You see that all the time in high trust societies where you could even safely leave a bike unattended for a few minutes without fearing that it'll be stolen.

Don't get me wrong though. Nextdoor's program to forward suspicions to the police is the wrong play. No one should be arrested and put at harm's way just because someone was a bit anxious one day.

I just think that we should be nurturing a high trust society, rather than moving to a low trust one where, on the surface everyone is tolerant/accepting but in reality they aren't really thinking about the other people in their community at all. "Not my problem." "Oh no, I can't let myself be bigoted. Who am I to judge the masked man walking around with a chainsaw at midnight? He might just be headed out to trim his garden?"
Ask HN: What projects have you made with boards like Raspberry Pi, Arduino?
Hmm I'm not an expert but I just saw a project on HN the other day that listed the policies and procedures for a bunch of PDs?
What would the energy efficiency of such a building be?
I’ve tried to cancel my virgin media subscription twice (because it’s too expensive), and each time was upsold a more expensive package.
I explained this to my wife, who laughed at me, then the same thing happened to her.
You're shadowbanned. I had to vouch for your comments here for them to appear. It is most likely due to the profanity in your username. I highly suggest creating a new account with a more family-friendly username.
Riiiiight, so obviously you personally have no problems with the spelling rules of English (which do, in general, exist, contrary to popular belief). But, we need to ask ourselves: if it is at all conceivable that "ghoti" could be sounded out as "fish", just what the fuck is going on here?

Sure, you don't have a problem dealing with this nonsense - I don't have one neither! But I struggle to believe that you've failed to notice that a lot of people do.

Who is this system here to serve?

Could it not be improved?

Very Java-esque name for the largest Java project there is. I like it.
"Eclipse AdoptOpenJDK Adoptium" has a good ring to it. Reminds me of the SharedSessionContractImplementor I worked on last week for our Hibernate interface.
I would start by learning the basics of electrical work via YouTube (books are available at home depot or lowes) and building electronics projects.

Assuming you are in the US, I would reference the National Electric Code (NEC). I think it's even available free online. This will go into detail about all the requirements for electrical systems to be safe and pass inspection.
https://feed43.com/ does it for almost any website provided you fiddle with a bit of "code"
Close, but it’s more like “people perceive themselves and their ingroup as perfect but making occasional honest mistakes” and perceive their outgroup as flawed, persistent rule-breakers. And guess who the outgroup tends to be in racially homogeneous neighborhoods.
It works well on Chrome for desktop.

On the demo page, it looks like you're using CSS that isn't supported by most browsers, which might be what causes the flickering / jank on Safari.

I am on H1B visa currently, one of those with high paying jobs in my current geographic area. I did my Masters in EE and have been on H1B since 2008, waiting for my GC, which may or may not happen.

I want to ask a question to those who feel that I should not be here. Why is it wrong for someone like me to move from my home country legally as a student, then decide to work and live here, since it is legal and that option is provided by the government. My employer is also willing to bear all costs of making that happen. Of course, USA is a great country, maybe the greatest, and people want to live and work here. Is it wrong to have such a desire, and go about fulfilling it in a legal way? I am genuinely interested to know, since I get the feeling that folks like me aren't exactly welcome, and would like to understand why that is.

On the ethical side of things, I have wondered if I have denied an American citizen a good life.I get the feeling that maybe I have, by the mere fact of me existing and being present in this country, since I haven't misrepresented, lied or cheated anyone to get my job. I have no doubt that given enough time, my company will find someone like me, but how long it will take is anyone's guess.
In AmE the dialect would likely be "midwestern speech" since the political history of our "standard dialect" differs from that of many other countries. I would expect with English it might be best to consider the different major dialects separately, but at any point there's a tradeoff and someone gets the short end of the stick. The right way would probably be to bring in many different stakeholders from different speaking communities and hash out some compromises.

Incidentally, I was once chatting with a member of the English Spelling Society (they advocate spelling reform) and asked about this very topic. Shockingly it seemed like that group hadn't thought about it all.
The total cost of the space shuttle program in 2011, adjusted for inflation was $196 billion. It launched a total of 135 times. This is about 1.45 billion per launch.
And how's that working out for them? 100+ accidents?
You're mixing up wireframes and mockups. Wireframes should be used for exploration of ideas and generally laying down different ideas in their simplest form and mockups (high fidelity, in this case) would then be built based on the existing components or displays new features and views.

If the modal in your case doesn't support a feature, it would be caught during the wireframing, before anyone has invested too heavily into any particular design.

Also, if the mockup resembled the actual UI but still differs ever so slightly, it's a sign of an inexperienced designer. Either they haven't properly made the actual functionality clear and the visuals are confusing (should it differ from the current features or not) OR the team is in need of a design system which would be used as a basis for all design visualisations and implementations.
Hmm I remember that opera browser in the early days of iOS, that’s not a bad idea! Kinda like a plex transcode but for text.

How would you navigate tho?
I’m curious about this, I tried searching but HN search isn’t great. Any chance of a link?
It does look like separation is back on the menu in America, so I would not be too quick to claim victory.

Look around the world and you will mostly see ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods. It's not by random occurrence.
I don't want to live in a building that looks like a bunker. At least put some arrow slits in and add a portcullis if you're going to do that.
Once you politely say you want to cancel, I suggest not answering their questions and to only repeat the word "cancel" over and over until the other person gets the point.
Cancelling anything should be easier but certainly not harder than signing up. The signup processes tend to be ironed out to the point that even the most minute friction is removed using endless AB tests and user surveys. The cancellation process tends to be manual, high friction, can require documentation that never needed to be present for the signup process to begin with and in some places when it looks like you might actually successfully cancel there is a fair chance your call will get accidentally disconnected and you have to start all over again, preferably with the one person manning the 'cancel' option in the VRS dealing with the 200 or so waiting callers before you first.

It's terrible, and should be illegal.
Clivern/Beetle – Kubernetes multi-cluster deployment service
Beetle automates the deployment and rollback of your applications in a multi-cluster, multi-namespaces kubernetes environments. Easy to integrate with through API endpoints & webhooks to fit a variety of workflows.
Parallelizing is plain simple "await Promise.all([first, second])"
Problem is doing some serious synchronization like n at a time or similar. Those things are better of with callbacks
Our designers have solved this by making anything that’s still in the mock up phase completely black/white.

Anything that’s actually ready uses the primary/actual colors. It’s actually pretty great apart from 80% of the design being grey at any point in time.
O visas are much harder to get than H-1B. I've hired a bunch of people via H-1B that we could not have hired via O. None of them were displacing American workers -- we would have hired just as many (or more) qualified American workers if they had been available too. So it seems disingenuous to imply that O covers the intended purpose of H-1B. (For the record, I agree that companies like Tata abuse H-1B and that sort of situation should be banned.)
Is transparent handover in use in QUIC or HTTP/3 today? Can you start a large download or SSH session on Wi-Fi, switch to mobile data, and not break the connection?
I think there's a chance companies will slowly go back to office as normal instead of WFH. Just a suspicion though.

Off topic: Do you get paid for giving up some of your land/backyard?
And you don’t see a problem with this? The entire purpose Of the App Store is that you shouldn’t have to trust every random developer.
My concerns with these cloud only solutions is that you lose control and you are locked in. See what happened to creatives in Venezuela when Adobe had to cut off access because of some trade sanctions.

If you're a freelancer I'd rather use native apps that have a perpetual license, like the Affinity apps.

If you're part of a bigger team and need collaboration features or easier hand off to engineering teams then yes I think Figma is great.

That is great, thanks. Got back into RSS lately and doing the ol "look for RSS link in footer and then guess at /feed" rigmarole every time gets old fast.

The screenshot of the RSS icon in the url bar brings back a memory I don't know if I had. Didn't Firefox used to do this by default or am I misremembering?
You've just made any female engineers even more self conscious that they are not 'like us' by pointing this out.

But you did make yourself feel better so that's nice.
Interesting counterexample, and a good exemplar of the phenomenon that the nature of distributions is that occasionally one finds outliers such as this.

I don't think it can reasonably be disputed though that in the average case it is true that boys are more physically active and spend more time outside than girls.
"Could-have" is misspelled? Or "could of"?
That makes sense, but master recordings also have the concept of slave reels [1]. He probably wasn't aware of it, heck I only found out about it a few days ago

Why cant they put a swinging bar at the tunnel height some distance before the tunnel? The bar knocks the top of the truck and wakes up whoever is driving to the fact that the truck is too tall.
No, you need an editor that abstracts away the indentation and uses the existing style of the file. I use the tab key to indent code, my editor (Emacs) is configured to just cycle through sane choices.
I absolutely love the all-glass skyscraper aesthetic. I consider it breathtaking. Calming and magnificent. I never understand why so many people say they love the look of old buildings.

I know it's not "cool", but I'll take Toronto's glass over New York's filthy gargoyles, any day. I don't even understand how people can have such opposite taste.
In the US I've found Charter, after 6 months, either A. Forgets I own my own modem and start to charge me a rental fee. Or B. Decided that my first 12 month discount is expired after 3-8 months.

With Centurylink they seem to just add random services once a year, and I only catch it after 2-3 months of it being on my bill.
I'm not sure I follow the population and density argument.

City densities were higher in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Paris itself has lost about 700,000 people since its 1921 population peak.

If housing people is your goal, you should build lots of low- to mid-rise buildings, say between 5 and 10 floors. This size of building is able to achieve the highest densities per cost using current construction techniques.

Build lower and you over-allocate and waste land. Build higher and the marginal cost of another floor rises quickly. There's a reason commercial buildings are the tallest: workers need less space working than they do living at home. High-rise residences are not economical unless people have very small apartments, which brings along its own problems.
I have always felt that the colors purple, red, pink, orange, and yellow perfectly match the flavors grape, cherry, strawberry, orange, and lemon. Grape tastes much darker than lemon, cherry tastes darker than strawberry, etc. Is this synesthesia, or is it just learned association?
Apple ‘s APIs also require access to Apple’s infrastructure - like CloudKit and notifications that go through their infrastructure.
There actually is proper version control for design! Abstract being the most fully featured, although only Sketch was supported the last time I checked. But yeah, in my case design debt is usually mainly born during exploration or when designs have a tight deadline and I don't take the time to organise my files and creating reusable components. I often end up with duplicates that I have to manually fix from there on out.
RapidAPI Marketplace is the news buried in this article, at least for me. Sounds like a pretty neat front for your API that does all the payment / user management for a 20% cut
Fair point. I should mention that I'm not a Nim expert, and am not defending its design. It's true that 'nil' appears in Nim under both of its pointer types (GC traced "references" and untraced "pointers") -- which is unlike, say, Rust's safe references vs. unsafe (nullable) pointers. So 'nil' is not simply a systems level construct; otherwise you might expect Nim to have nillable pointers, but not nillable references.

You need nil/null when doing systems work -- and Nim is capable of that -- but I don't know the rationale for allowing 'nil' in higher level language features.

Yes but it’s not binary as you or most people think today and it’s not because lack of intelligence or anything like that. it’s just that work has existed in a binary form largely since industrialized work was invented. The best way to think of the answer to your questions is that parts of “work” will become remote. Depending on the work for some it might be overnight. For some it will be over time. For some (people and companies)it will some part of their work (And their dependent supply chains and that too recursively). This is not going to be driven by people’s wants btw the way. Yes some part of it will be but large part of it will be due to efficiencies forced by a capitalist/for profit world we operatin. If you can provide a product or service x% cheaper while maintaining everything else equal you will, and it’s increases your margins(at best) and at worse it keeps you from going extinct as your competitors already do it.

I don't think this statement is inherently wrong, but perhaps misguided. Skyscrapers in there current state should be abolished, but I don't disagree with vertical expansion. The article makes what I think to be a very good case for garden space, and if we are to continue to build vertically we need to think about how we incorporate some nature and greenery into our high rise structures.
> H1B is modern-day bonded labor.

That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Bonded laborers were forbidden to leave their jobs under penalty of the law (like actual prison time). H-1B holders are free to leave any time, they just experience a massive drop in income.
And very badly....
Plus a good amount of technical know-how and ops work, which is only free if you're a hobbyist building a proof of concept. If you're the actual NYPD and you want it to work accurately and reliably in prod, you need budget for either in-house tech talent or a company that will do it for you.
Most technical books I buy are sold by DRM free sites: informit.com, oreilly.com (although they don't seem to be much in the book selling business anymore), pragprog.com, raywenderlich.com, or single book sites such as Building Git (https://shop.jcoglan.com/building-git) or Haskell Programming from first principles (https://haskellbook.com)
Yeah, but aren't FLW houses/buildings notorious for being crap quality construction? Leaking, cracking, sinking, and molding?
> And even in the bay area, average engineering salaries lag behind the local COL.

> the US simply won't allow for enough housing to be built

You don't see the connection here? Why do you think there will be enough housing even with less immigration? The "housing must increase value at all costs" mantra is responsible for this.

> As a non-English speaker, I find the English spoken by non-native speakers far easier to understand and deal with than the English spoken by Americans/British.

As you allude to, that's typical for any speakers of any foreign language, in my experience. I speak several languages in addition to English, and native speakers of those languages are often the hardest to understand, because they're the most fluent in the language.
Sinofsky is trying to draw an analogy between the windows oem situation and the developer, app storesituation where none exists.

He spent all this text describing how bad oems were and simply equated windows oems to iOS developers in the end, for his fair accompli. Shoddy article all around.
I'm not aware of a time requirement for a term to qualify as a slur. It seems pretty straightforward that "Karen" does qualify though. You generalize the behavior of a group (women, housewives, etc) and describe them with a pejorative.

Adult women have a right to complain about things and report things if they think they are illegal. That some number of women may have filed false or exaggerated reports doesn't give you or others license to dismiss everyone of a similar demographic.
This made me laugh (sorry). How do they upsell without you realizing it?
I don't have a strong opinion on whether you should or shouldn't be here, but I wanted to give a different perspective. It's really only tangentially related to this whole discussion.

A lot of Americans have been taught that the U.S is the land of opportunity, a place where anyone can come and through hard work can make something out of themselves. What people probably imagine when they think about this is poor immigrants coming and starting from the bottom, starting in food service jobs or doing janitorial work or something and working their way up. That's the American dream they were told about. None of them would imagine that through an H1B visa, we'd be allowing some of the most highly educated immigrants from other countries to come and immediately work in high level positions with salaries of 6 or even 7 figures.

I find it understandable that some amount of Americans feel that this is wrong and that they were told a lie.
(maybe I do not understand the definition of "conceivable") I think it is totally inconceivable that someone would read this word as "fish"! It would require extreme amount of mind-bending!

Maybe this is why I am so angry with this article. They could have picked less artificial example to demonstrate irregularities.

I rang up several years ago to try to get a discount for reasons I can't remember. I ended up being upsold and today I'm spending far more money than I should, but my Internet is so, so fast. And my IP address, whilst not "static", changes about once every three years. Not something you'd run a website on, but very convenient as a developer when being restricted by IP range.

I've heard the customer service is bad, but to be honest, I never need it speak to them. On the whole, a happy customer over the last 18 years (whoever they were when I signed up in 2002- NTL? Cable& Wireless?)
I agree with your analysis. It's better to not think of such behavior as a result of a real illness of the mind, but a metaphorical illness of the heart. There's a certain sickness element to it, as well as an element of social contagion, so I understand the words used, but disagree with how they were used.
I think it helps enormously if the designer responsible for the designs understands about the tech used in building it. I don't think that every UX designer needs to be a full stack developer as well, but when you have the ability to actually talk about the tech, you can also translate the design into something that non-design folks might understand.

I often ended up sitting next to one of the developers, working along-side with him, helping him on the technical issues (reading Stackoverflow and github issues on various repos for example) while he helped me with the designs by challenging and testing as we were wireframing ideas. Kinda like aöpair programming, but for designers and less siloed.
Do they force you to use their in app subscriptions in the way Apple is? Can I still use my own subscriptions servcie - in fact I know the Answer because Spotify and Hey were not complaining about the Google Play Store.
Yes they do it in different ways and users have a choice.

There are only 4 or 5 large cities in SA, though, so even if you didn't get lucky guessing Pretoria first time round it wouldn't take that long to check all their skylines for that distinctive building.

There has been a very successful, though limited, reform of English spelling, by Noah Webster. It's him you can thank (or blame) for analyze, color, center, defense, and connection replacing their original spellings (analyse, colour, centre, defence, and connexion).
