No way, searching items in a ribbon is much harder than on a simple menu, even if you have subitems. It is the difference between reading text (fast) and trying to decipher pictures, specially when they are not well organized. Most people have trouble with the ribbon, I am not the only one who noticed this.
Agree. In fact before clicking the link I thought it was about Chinese dumplings. There a probably enough variety to warrant a whole separate article.
"So many people are declared a hategroup now". Can you give any examples of recently designated hate groups that you disagree with the designation?

Reddit has been a hot mess for 5 years. It's T_D's fault. Content is less of an issue when you don't subscribe to the lowest-common-denominator subs and you just go there for focused interests like hobbies. It's the only way Reddit is of any use anymore. Social discourse is dead there. The trolls ruined the site.

Before the election, Reddit was not so popular, more tech, more news, less drama, though it existed.

Fast forward to 2015. T_D is created, pepe the frog is the mascot, and Trump is now the 4chan troll candidate. (You remember GOD PEDE EMPEROR, right?) T_D was a disgusting cesspool of brigading, trolling, and platform abuse. It wasn't just the politics, those people fucked up the experience for everyone else. That fucking sub got every pass possible from the admins and the owners.

To go back in history from where T_D came from, Trump wasn't even that popular early in 2015. T_D was made-popular, if-not-started by 4chan's /pol/ board. That board was one of the biggest hotbeds for your "Jewish question of the week" / racist memes, "OK guys, redpill me" trash designed to turn young, white, "disenfranchised" teens into internet warriors. Russian internet troll agencies like the IRA worked on these campaigns used to recruit and redpill.

They recruited enough people using heavily-doctored SJW cringe videos and "Carlson Dunking" talking head videos on people to convince their followers that Reddit must transform into T_D-land, and the Reddit community (And the rational admins) hated what it became.

Soon, racist subs like frenworld / clownworld showed up casually displaying nazi signs. These subs do damage, and these posts were all intentional. All these subs were flocked to by T_D members.

After each of these hate subs shut down, they start infiltrating mod spots on popular subs, trolling entire subs until they are kicked out by Admins.

Now, mass accounts have started flocking here, because, again, like Reddit, there's no barrier to making an account here, so why not troll and shitpost all over every thread with doctored counter-arguments like "So many people are declared a hategroup now".
This is a classical quantum mechanics text book write up. Nicely done with a pleasant layout. However, I never really saw the benefit of the Bloch sphere. It never provided a deeper physical insight for me that was not seen from the equations.
I have one, but I only listen with it. Cheapest radio ever. It's better than having no radio at all! For example in an emergency, or when you're on forest service roads that logging trucks drive down (where they are required to broadcast their position over radio) :)
But it can give you joy to know who made a painting and the historical context of it.
A computer is not just a playback machine like a mechanical loom.

What is it then? Magic?

The fact that you don't understand how it works doesn't make it magical.

Every program ever written for your desktop computer was ultimately "compiled" into a long series of simple binary logic operations that your computer blindly repeats at very high speed. For every set of inputs, it recreates the same output --- kinda like a loom mechanically weaves a particular pattern at high speed once it has been "programmed" using a set of punch cards not unlike those once used to program computers.
The license is an FCC requirement. They are also the ones who come up with the test questions. You would have to ask them. I can understand why they would want me to understand the laws governing ham radio. I don’t understand why I need to be able to read a schematic diagram to get a license. I assume that if I was going to build my own equipment that I would need to know a lot more than what I needed to learn to pass the test.
Hmm not sure I agree, I was able to pick up SSTV transmissions from local amateurs and from the freakin' International Space Station, by decoding the audio signal with my iPhone.... That was pretty amazing and fun, with just a cheapo HT. That said, for even less $$ you can get an RTL-SDR and pick up soooooo much cool stuff :)

Isn't that a matter of abstraction? We have to consider the old backend a type of "virtual machine" with a domain-specific instruction set. Of course, this is a rather funny virtual machine with some odd technical limitations, but it's not infeasible to consider writing a new back-end (middle end? middle...ware?) that targets the old funny backend but abstracts over its limitations e.g. by using two records to get additional name storage.

Depending on how complicated the business logic rules encoded in the old backend are, could this be more efficient than modifying the old backend?

I also build PWAs for enterprise and I have to disagree on performance and UX. My users love them.

Many didn’t understand what a web app was until recently and now they want nothing else. For starters the speed and ease of deployment can also impact the user experience; people love seeing problems fixed and tweaks made on the fly in reaction to their feedback.

But more than anything they’re thoroughly impressed with the interfaces compared to other shitty desktop enterprise software they use. At the end of the day it’s the same story as with all software: quality often depends more on craftmanship than on the flavor of tool that you’re using. PWAs offer enough means to build beautiful and performant software, with full offline capabilities that can make them nearly indistinguishable from a native app.

I can’t disagree that native apps have advantages in some use cases. For the most part I wouldn’t build something like a graphics editing program as a web app - companies like Figma challenge this, but they’re using techniques at the edge of web dev that go beyond PWA capabilities (eg, WebAssembly), and unless you have an all-encompassing product strategy like they do you’d probably be better off building something like that native.

For many CRUD app use cases however PWAs can be more than sufficient. I’m very bullish about their future, and I wouldn’t be if I hadn’t seen real, happy users, because that's what matters to me the most.
Hello,

I'm one of the dudes running Windows 7 on unsupported hardware (Ryzen 3900x, some mobo that isn't supported by W7 and modified drivers from some random Chinese dude on the internet so it actually works). I'm using it mostly to play games that don't support Linux (anti-cheat spyware, as someone nicely put it), while daily driving linux on the same machine on another HDD (can't be hit by cryptolockers because windows doesn't detect it ;) ).

Windows 10 is garbage. It's a mobile OS - the "File" menu in Microsoft Word opens across the whole screen with most of it being empty space, the start menu fucking shows ads and search can't help itself but do random internet searches. Always on "Cortana" for god knows what reason that you can't turn off without editing registry (can you even do that anymore). On top of that, it's basically spyware. How can you protect yourself from malware by installing more malware?
> You cannot send power to the camera without also sending power to the LED, which will in turn cause the LED to light up. Unless the LED is broken, in which case you will know because it will never light up.

You make multiple assumptions here

1) You assume that the during the time that passes between the LED breaking and the user noticing, there was not a single attack or a single blunder that caused the camera to turn on and record/capture something that was unintended.

2) You assume that the LED breaks deterministically. The LED can break randomly. Maybe it lights up when nothing is being recorded resulting in a false positive. The user has no way of differentiating between a false positive and a true positive which can result in unintended captures.

3) Similarly the LED can break in a way where it sometimes doesn't light up when something is being recorded even though power is always sent to the LED when the camera is on resulting in a false negative. Again, the user has no idea of differentiating between a false negative and a true negative.
HEPA wouldn’t kill it, just hold it.

On the other hand, a silane quat impregnated HEPA filter would likely kill everything that passed through it, and afaik has no substantial toxicity issues.

I didn’t refer to that concern, that’s a different discussion - in a corporate setting the policies might help avoid that by limiting what can be installed.

where they don’t help is accidentally activating the camera and only realizing afterwards. That’s a UX issue with so many different video conference technologies that all behave slightly differently.
If you are a parent - use https://nextdns.io AFTER having a conversation to filter porn. Why let government do it? Why not state funded child education and parenting centres if you can't even do this or educate yourself about it?

As an underage person, I would just run wireguard on the router with open wrt if I wanted to bypass filter.

Being brutally honest, if your kid is at high risk of porn addiction or is already addicted - you have failed miserably at parenting. You really want to look at other aspect to life to evaluate and fix the problem. Porn addiction is a result of some other problem in 95% cases.

They're both "just one group with one opinion." The difference is that one is definition widely accepted as a term of art in software development and the other is not.

Yes and no. That's a website that need to check some requirements to be called PWA.

- Fast (cache with service worker)

- Reponsive (no explanation needed)

- Offline page (so if the user lost connection or the web site is cached and he visite when he's no connection the app should work or at least display a custom offline page)

- Engaging (fancy word, to say it's need to behave like an app + push notifications)

- Installable (if the browser is compatible and you visite the website more than once it'll ask you if you want to install the app. This will create a shortcut and when you click on it it'll open like an app (no address bar))

But Apple is very late and don't support all of this.

"That is, the physical world, including human cognition, can be realized by a Turing machine."

How did you get to the conclusion that all physical world is computable? Rather a huge jump i would say. Sure some things are, but "all of it" would rather be a BIG assumption. Physical theories of the world are limited to our current state of observations and knowledge of the world, they AREN'T the actual world. Who is to say this continuous search, observation and refinement of theories will ever end and we'll have a FINAL theory of everything that we can then plug into a computer and simulate?

Sure you can now say "I don't require a theory of everything, I just need a "sufficient" amount of theory to simulate the part of the world from which I can have my intelligence & cognition emerge". Sure you can say that but that would again hinge on the assumption that such cognition is reducable to these "sufficient" laws.

Likewise saying that the whole physical world can be realized by a Turung machine is a bit rich when we don't even know if such a complete reduction of the physical world is possible and when such reduction to physical laws is surely not yet complete.

EDIT: grammar
Same on all counts, though I went a step further and wired in a microminiature slide switch to completely power off the camera. That way applications see "no camera" unless I go out of my way to power it on. I painted the "on" side of the switch in retroreflective paint so I can see when it's on at a glance too, whether the camera is in use or not. This was on a thinkpad though, I doubt macos would tolerate a disappearing camera.

I disagree. I think that you gratuitously inflamed the thread in a way that the posted website was careful not to do. That's explicitly against the site guidelines.

The link you've made is tenuous and frankly looks retrofitted—parallel construction, one might say.

Reducing an interesting post to a well-rehearsed flamewar is vandalism and against the site guidelines. This is supposed to be a place for curious conversation. I think there's plenty of curious conversation to be about the indigenous history of North America as long as people don't toss bombs about "growing anti-white animus". No one used the words you're complaining about until you did. That's a remarkably poor level of HN post. Please don't do that again.

Yes. I have been getting ads on my Apple TV at a much higher rate over the past few weeks, which is putting me off a fair bit. Enough to consider auto-downloading certain channels and shoving them into Plex.
The stickers that grocery stores have on apples, avocados and other fruit is also useful for this.
Lol, of course. You forgot dog whistles, now you've forgotten how to read - at this rate if you keep talking to me you might forget how to lie about wanting good faith discussion. Next thing you know you'll forget how to be a totalitarian altogether - and you will end up cancelled!

Regardless, I have amply proven your disingenuous nature, so fill your boots chum, pretend to be stupid all you like.
I fully understood his point and at the same time disagree with it - "open source" should not be considered a generic term, and the reasons are purely practical. OSI has taken this term two decades ago and coined its widely known meaning, where "open source" means "compliant with the OSI open source definition", just as GNU did with "free" or "libre" software.

The terms "open source" and "free software" have become ubiquitous in the programming world and widespread even in popular culture and redefining them brings completely no benefit - not even cultural ones, since the terms "open" or "free" or "libre" software do not have background associated with racism or sexism, unlike some of the recent nomenclature debates.

And this "one group with one opinion" that you are speaking of has been one of the most powerful software groups in the world with a lot of influence on how the programming world is shaped and what software you, your family, your employers, your friends and your enemies use in your daily life, so your argument about it being "one group with one opinion" holds as much sense to me as Microsoft being "just one operating system vendor with one opinion" in a discussion about operating systems.
> So claiming that cloud providers are not good

The statement is not that AWS is "not good". The statement is that AWS is very expensive, specially for computational tasks, and there are cheaper alternatives around.

AWS is notorious for positioning their services as a way to convert capex into opex, specially if your scenario involves a SaaS that might experience unexpected growth and must be globally available. Training ML models has zero to do with those usecases. It makes no sense to mindlessly defend AWS as being the absolute best service around for a job it was not designed for and with a pricing model that capitalizes on added value on things that are not applicable.
Air molecules are a lot smaller than the particles getting trapped, so presumably a filter with a low enough density can minimize heat transfer except to things getting stuck in it.

Can you expand on this point some? I'm trying to understand but I don't really see the problem. Whether the nutrition comes from the soil or the fertilizer doesn't really seem that important. I get what other posters have said about vegetables in the past being more nutritious but it's not clear to me that this matters terribly much compared to the accessibility gains from produce being cheaper and still nutritious (ableit less so).

Spotify and Apple Music have the same issues, sometimes opposite issues. I used Spotify for years, and switched to Apple Music out of curiosity to allow me to have better control of a curated collection of work mixed with all the music I still owned from my younger years. I listen to a far more diverse collection on Apple Music, but it's also far more difficult to discover new things and aimlessly browse. Spotify is slowly building a wall around itself. They have a lot of great original content that you can't get anywhere else. Just thoughts I had so far. That's all.
