> I've never seen someone who wants to go back from TypeScript to plain JavaScript.

I do, as mentioned in several threads, I only use platform languages in production, which on the browser means JavaScript + whatever targets WebAssembly.

For something like Angular, then Angular is the platform, written in Typescript, with all the tooling for a seamless development experience, then I make use of Typescript.

The less layers to debug, FFI libraries that I don't need to write (type libs), endless list of compiler modes to read through,now double way to declare private members,... the better.

Still hope for Typescript to turn into WebIDL, but most likely it won't ever happen.
I always allow for the possibility that science is a faith (not religion) simply because there is no way to prove that the universe actually obeys laws that we can discover. Just because an apple fell down in the same way in each of a million experiments, it's not necessary that the relationship we discovered is a "law" that defines the universe. It could just as well be that the next time we try it, the apple falls differently.
Probably not as much as you would think. Modern airframes are still not capable of sustaining as much acceleration as missiles. You just can't outmaneuver today's missiles.
The semantic data format people have had a point all along. Just because digital audiobooks are inspired by books on cassette is no reason the data format can't support all sorts of metadata. We could have a format for written and read aloud works that highlights every word in the text on a screen as it's read when used in the proper player software, with user notations, bookmarks, indexes, an completely searchable by full text.
Maybe a JCR implementation like Apache Jackrabbit Oak would be a good tool for this data. See here for sql semantics: https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/query/grammar-sql2.ht...
I don't know about Paragon's NTFS driver for Linux, but their non-free Ext4 driver for Windows had a nasty bug until recently, where it would change file ownership and permissions in the filesystem mounted in read-only mode, rendering the driver unusable. The bug apparently got fixed after numerous complaints on their support forum, but I still use this driver very cautiously and only when I have to.

So I wouldn't trust Paragon's claim of "decades of expertise in commercial file systems development and huge
test coverage."
Such a concept is well under development as the Air Force Loyal Wingman program. Boeing unveiled protoypes not long ago [1].

It's crazy to see how defensive some people get! Especially when any criticism of EU countries gets brought up. I get that some of the criticism is unwarranted. But as an outsider with intimitate knowledge of both europe (france in particular) and north america, it's just mind boggling to see the difference between the HN/online discourse and reality.

France is an amazing country don't get me wrong, but you can't just sweep everything under the rug just because it has good social safety nets. Living in a place with a strong french diaspora and having tons fo family members living in france, the things I hear the most from them are the grim employment prospects, the lack of opportunities and a hopelessly stagnant economy. And this was before COVID.

Lets also not forget the extreme levels of intergenerational, hard to escape destitution minorities living in the Cités experience that make even america look good when it comes to social mobility for it's minorities. And, while I'm not a fan of the (overused) concept, France has neocolonialism as a foundation of its exploitative african policy. There's also the rampant homophobia, ingrained misogyny, very, very casual racism... you get my point

There are even comments saying, unironically, "if you aren't happy just move instead of complaining". I couldn't imagine that type of argument not getting absolutely destroyed if it was a thread about the US, the UK or Canada. I guess we just hear a lot more coming from english speaking countries, which skew how we view countries we don't hear problems from.
Unfortunately I saw that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. On desktop is working better than mobile. I'm just using the code Reddit provides for embed so not sure if that actually possible.
Nice! I am excited by this. I decided to go back to trying RSS after a blogger I enjoy got deplatformed from where I usually found their stuff. I installed a firefox rss reader and it was fine. But today after seeing this I realized I wanted more centralized RSS to have it synced on difference devices. So I went and installed FreshRSS over the past 30 mins on my webserver, added a MariaSQL db and user, added a Apache subdomain, directed my DNS to it, ran letsencrypt, fired up the web config, added my feeds, and we're up and running in 30 mins flat.

Next I guess I have to install this thing to RSS-ify other channels I like.

This is kind of exciting.
Fun read. Some of the local tech Meetups I’ve been to, particularly ones discussing open source, capture the spirit of user groups.

I don’t think the internet can completely replace the tight knit communities that are created from in person gatherings.
Given the attitude of Trump and a lot of his base, it's a distinct possibility that in such a dramatic situation he gets them extremely riled up against the opposition, which could easily get to the point where a social media platform's rules are being broken en masse.

Echoing sibling comment: AFAIK, all Motorola Moto series phones officially support unlocking the bootloader (with a minor dance to register and get an unlock code from Motorola), which you do with adb, after which you just use adb/fastboot to rewrite recovery (or just directly boot an alternate recovery, which you can do without flashing it) and then you can flash a custom ROM and/or Magisk, the rooting solution of choice.
The license fee would be based upon the method of counting installed base. If Adobe wants to change the method of counting, Dolby should be allowed to change the fee.
This isn't legal right? What does this mean and are there other examples?

Encryption is the only way to achieve a specific goal (hiding sensitive digital information from other viewers).

Bitcoin is one of many ways to achieve a specific goal (transferring money between entities over the internet) and it has one significant drawback, it is difficult to regulate, track, etc.

Governments need to have a good idea of where money is going, at least they need to know that more than they need to know what people are saying to each other

Your cost per mile for gas is way off. MPG is way higher for typical Lyft/Uber.

Usable lifetime is also pretty low. A modern car can pretty easily get to 150k miles even driving Uber/Lyft based on the mileage I’ve seen in the cars I’ve ridden in.

Those are your two biggest factors in your calculations and you can cut them both by a good 30%.
The ultimate passenger destinations are less than 1 mile from the airport. They do not include connections to ongoing transportation other than cars, buses, and taxis. It cost $4 billion for something that adds little to no value.

Again, that is completely false.

Only the parking lot facility is less than a mile from the airport terminals. The public transportation hub itself is 1.25 miles away from the airport; the same facility will provide access to rail, bus, taxi, and apptaxi (fka rideshare), and the rental car facility at the end of the people mover is roughly 1.5 miles away (across the street from the transportation hub), or roughly 2.25 miles from the other end of the peoplemover in front of tom bradley.

LA taxi drivers were actively protesting outside of the airport when the original train was proposed. Stop lying.

Yes, they were. And their protests accomplished nothing. Because taxi drivers have no leverage.

It is bizarre that they have any influence whatsoever, but they do, and they have been forcefully exerting it for decades.

No, they have not. They have had literally no influence on public transportation to the airport.

Think about it: they couldn't even stop Uber and Lyft from operating at the airport. And you think they had the leverage to stop public transportation for decades?

(Another example: Uber complained about the new temporary pickup lot for taxis/apptaxis, and LAX made changes the next day to accommodate apptaxis. The taxi drivers made the same complaints...and got no changes at all...Almost a year later, the regular taxis are still complaining about those same issues.)
Oh wonderful.

Now we will see more of these types of attacks.
Psychology (mostly psychometrics, social and health). I was studying the placebo effect, so read very very widely.

I know very little about the brain, except what I did in my undergrad (which wasn't a lot), but all the statistics in papers looked really, really dodgy to me.

Congrats on all your hard work, this looks great. I just signed up and am clicking my way through it, to understand how it works.

One question, regarding subscription. I only see a premium plan, for £15.00/mo. Are there different levels of subscription? I only ask because I am thinking of teaching Icelandic online, well, I do teach Icelandic online but currently only to one student and am feeling a bit overwhelmed by how to upscale, made the website, created YouTube content, but, not sure what to do next and whether I'll manage to spread the word enough to justify committing to a monthly cost or whether to give it up and just keep to that one student.
> I am the best one to decide what tradeoffs I want to make, not some holier-than-thou computer nerd on the internet.

Yeah, you are. But let's not forget the original topic and why the conversation started in the first place: Apple is charging developers $99/year to be able to have software running on their platform and making it increasingly harder for those that do not. Then someone posts something along the lines of but the alternative is also privacy invading and provided by hypercapitalistic (sic) companies. There is nothing we can do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is what I was calling out for BS. This is a trade-off on moral principles that I am saying people should not accept.

Your complaints about Linux are technical trade-offs, and it just happens that you don't want to deal with the choices made by the most common systems. Totally fine. The point that I am arguing with you is that you are giving in the moral principle based on the refusal to (or being tired of to) work on technical things.

This is the part that I don't get: there are tons of other systems there work only with statically linked files. There are two OSes (NixOS and Guix) that basically allow you to run anything you want, however you want. There are Linux systems that make a point of not using systemd.

You certainly know all that. But you prefer to say "screw it, people are not doing things the way I want and I am tired of dealing with this shit. I am going to go use Windows".

Again, fine. But at least accept that you are giving in on a moral principle. No amount of technical discussion or accusations on my "identity" or trying to put this on "people from this community" is going to change that. You can call me all the cute names you want, but in the end of day you are trading your freedoms for convenience and familiarity.

> Yet you assume that because I don't like your waifu-OS that I must be some kind of scared newb.

No. The opposite. I assume that you are a very smart person! I just think you are just willing to compromise on a moral principle that I would not expect from smart and capable people and I think "others do not want the same thing that I do" is a feeble attempt at rationalization.

To play devil's advocate, a 5 year lock down would only be a net negative if we failed to fix the systemic economic problems that make it negative, e.g. the lack of a safety net for people who cannot work. All the agonizing over the economic impacts of stay-at-home is ironic in light of the fact that we spent decades gutting safety nets and deliberately building a society that requires you to go to work or die.

FAA has always been dysfunctional. It's just that nowadays with the internet, Boeing and the FAA can no longer control the narrative to the same degree. Just look how how they handled the crashes in the 90s [1]. The FAA and Boeing basically dismissed the crashes entirely with shoulder shrugs. Their mouth pieces repeated the refrain 'safest form of travel' over an over. They were asleep at the wheel then, just like now.

For DoH Chrome does not do that check. Instead one of the requirements to be one their allowed DoH providers is that they don't do the evil redirect NX Domain responses.

But Chrome also falls back to try non-DoH on NX-Domain, so it doesn't really help. I guess they need to do that so internal domains work correctly.
I can't. But I do find they're less likely to interrupt in chat than they are in a physical space.

Also, it's a lot easier for me to finish what I'm doing before answering a chat than it is to finish what I'm doing and answer someone standing next to me. Although I'm known for putting a finger up in the air at them and making them wait.
Is this supposed to convince us that the FDA is bad, and by extension, the rest of USA government is bad? Because it seems to me that all it says is "the FDA is probably underfunded, and we've let vested interests drive our health care processes".

Samsung calls it "Magnetic Secure Transmission" as I recall. I wish they would advertise it more because it was honestly the greatest feature on that phone in my eyes, but everyone assumes it's exactly the same as Apple Pay. Retailers were shocked every time I used it (though in some cases they refused to even let me try).

I'm personally glad to be off Samsung products again now, but I was really disappointed when my spouse switched to a model without MST.
PHP is seeing a renascence and renewed interest similar to what happened with JavaScript a few decades ago.

There is a one-star review on Amazon [1] from 2018 talking about losing data, has that been addressed?

Another two-star review also from 2018 [2] talking about exported notes only being raster pictures instead of PDF (even more ideal is time-series encoded vector data inside the PDF as a side-channel that can be read back out so other software can perform their own post-capture analysis upon the user's interaction via the pen/eraser with raw pressure, tilt, coordinate, tip type, etc. data). But it looks like PDF now is possible, and the exporting problems can be worked around [3]?

How stable have you and others found the software in 2020 for sharing back out PDF annotations and raw "use it as a notepad"?

The Joy of Appropriation
Huh, you're right about the popularity when asked in the abstract. It isn't at the old level of popularity, but support has risen quite a bit in the last few years and is back to a majority. That being said, popularity of a topic is often higher when you talk in the abstract - only 30% of people have 'quite a lot' or a 'great deal' of confidence in unions as an institution which is what I was remembering[1]. Also in that data - only ~40% of people want to see union influence grow.

Membership is definitely tanking.[2]

Nah, you see, promotion is very much based in spacetime, a fourth dimensional manifold. The speed of light in this system is much too slow for my preference.

France has a culture of "universalism" which dates back to the Lumières period which can be seen as one of the roots to this attitude.

This cultural tendency is very visible when you compare the way France handled colonies compared to the UK : France tended to impose its value to "enlighten" colonised countries, while the UK srayed much more in the realms of economic exploitation without getting so involved in trying to impose british culture and values.

It looks related to Wayland (sway). This behaviour has cropped up recently. Might be a combination of:

* Having a relatively big number of tabs (~600 in multiple tab groups)

* Having a lot of extensions

* Using sway/wayland

* Combination of the following environment variables: MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MOZ_WEBRENDER=1 MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1

It used to work fine, until something broke a few weeks ago, maybe in a sway/mesa/firefox update (running ArchLinux). This was way worse when autoscroll was enabled, so I disabled it as there is a bugreport for that.

I'm on holidays, so the browser is more of a productivity sink than something else, at times. Usually I don't mind much, and might restart it or leave it. Plus, 10 minutes is kind of an overstatement (it sometimes happens faster, but last three crashes took 23, 17 and 18 minutes respectively).

I'm living on the bleeding edge, so that kind of stuff happens. I's recently gotten way worse with Qt apps as well, so I would tend to blame sway. But running it as is is a good way to find patterns that might help resolve the issues once reported. I've said a few words in #sway, but didn't get an answer.

Don't worry, I could probably change my configuration in a few seconds if I needed more stability in a pinch (use another compositor, maybe another browser): I've launched a few Qt applications with -platform xcb recently.

I'm getting errors ranging from [GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown to Gdk-Message: Error reading events from display: broken pipe

I can't help but think a drone aircraft is essentially the same as a guided missile except the exploding pieces are modular rather than exploding itself and thus the majority of it is re-usable.

We already shoot missiles at other missiles. Drones will make that cheaper. In other words i think the biggest change will be in the economics of war. War will become much cheaper in the same way SpaceX's reusable rockets made space travel much cheaper.
I was with you for the first 5 lines - it's not because of any of those reasons.

But listen to the Firefox developer in the article - Chrome was making a better product because they weren't tied down with backwards compatibility issues. It was genuinely faster, more secure and they were shipping features quicker. Meanwhile Firefox wasted years attempting and failing to become multiprocess because they were tied down with the legacy of XUL.

But you have to give Chrome credit for making a good product. No doubt marketing helped, bundling with Android helped. But for a solid 5-7 years, it was clearly the best. And I say that as someone who has used Firefox for a decade.
I think you've found a very reasonable way how to deal with it using the NSFW toggle. If some subreddits aren't properly marked that's on them.

Btw, I think I found a bug. On mobile tapping on 'more subreddits' initially doesn't work for me. After I tap on top and then get back to the subreddit menu, it starts working.

All in all very nice, thanks for making this!
Palantir throws people at big data problems. It seems that they have some tech but a lot of critical work is done by their highly paid consultants.
Considering the topic of the article, it's interesting that this comment was downvoted to [dead]. Humans seem to have a strong dislike for the general idea that there are limits to our knowledge of reality, and it seems to me that the magnitude of that dislike increases as a function of the intelligence of the individual (the smarter one is, the more disgust experienced during discussion of the unknown/unknowable).

>They should be taxed like alcohol and tobacco and selling sugary drinks to children should be curtailed.

Absolute no problem with that, but has nothing to-do with airline security.

>but we underfund road safety and overfund airline safety

I dont know where you life, but here 'WHE' pay nothing for Airline safety, but every passenger does, and flying is still too cheap.

>but we can still overfund health and safety in one part of the economy at the expense of the other.

I really don't know what a country that is, but here (Switzerland) every passenger pays a tax for the Airport which is responsible for the Air-control and the Security, and the Airport just lets Airlines land when they meet international Security standards, its not a public spend but a private one (from the passenger). And i think it's the exact same in your country.
