> According to this Statista data, they’re roughly in the middle for Western Europe

I stopped right here. You linked data that shows them 5th of a list of 31 countries, with values that are 5x larger than 2/3 of the list. You linked that to argue they are "roughly in the middle". At that point facts don't matter and there's no point in having a discussion.
Thanks to the async/await keywords, modern javascript is not a callback hell anymore.
And some time make the time to drive out west

Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,

In September or October, when the wind

And the light are working off each other

So that the ocean on one side is wild

With foam and glitter, and inland among stones

The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit

By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans,

Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white,

Their fully grown headstrong-looking heads

Tucked or cresting or busy underwater.

Useless to think you’ll park and capture it

More thoroughly. You are neither here nor there,

A hurry through which known and strange things pass

As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways

And catch the heart off guard and blow it open.
I am, yes.

Yeah, Postman has gotten dirty. Why the hell should a REST client/testing tool transmit everything to the cloud?
Since you're working on an iOS companion app, this seems like an appropriate time to mention the primary obstacle that has kept me off of the Gmail iOS app: it doesn't support links in email signatures.

I still find that hard to believe, and it's a deal breaker. IIRC, the Gmail app doesn't support signature formatting at all. Please do.
Here in France we have a system where the payments for child care is graded so those with low income pay zero (actually get billed a low hourly price plus receive an immediate help from the state so the net to pay is zero) and those with highish (> €40000/year) pay a high per hour rate and get the help capped to 600€, and that help drops to zero if the hourly rate goes above 10€/h (which can quickly happen if you have a flat daily rate but fail to present the child on time, like nobody with children has never been late, ever) or for days the child is not presented to childcare at all, but you still get billed for those, including if the child is ill up to 5 days (after that healthcare takes over, but in between, which is pretty much most of the time, you foot the bill)

I’ve been a father for three weeks, we ran the numbers with my wife for this kafkaesque system with crazy conditions at every corner that seem specifically designed to make us bleed inane amounts of money, and for our current situation this means for five days a week of presence the bill totals north of 2k€/mo, minus the capped 600 on the happy path, and if everything goes well... <deity> forbid anything goes wrong., we’d have to foot the whole bill plus possible penalties.

YMMV and there are “somewhat cheaper” solutions, but there’s 1-2+ year (years!) wait queues, and they’re not FIFO but priority ordered by... revenue, which makes the queue virtually infinite for us. So my wife which had an entrepreneur project on the table is contemplating dropping that on the floor and staying at home, which would be a terrible move in so many ways.

I’m all for social help and levelling the playing field, but this is downright batshit insane.
> Greenlets are similar to coroutines [...] the async ecosystem in Python is fractured in two big groups.

Async in software development in general is fractured in two big groups. On the one hand languages like C#, C++ and Dart support (stackless) coroutines like Python’s - and on the other hand, Go, Java and Lua support stackful coroutines that are more like Python’s greenlets.

There are pros and cons to each approach. I wonder if one or the other will eventually become dominant.
Fancy-pants cross-band full duplex can be achieved with two £15 Baofeng UV-5Rs and a DIY duplexer with about 2 components on it (or just two antennas on one boom).

That's my setup - I'm not better equipped than that.
I was fortunate enough to encounter this book in a first-year programming course (Informatik, RWTH Aachen). The years before, they had used Modula-3 and in the years afterwards they switched to Java.

While it certainly changed my life - first encounter with functional programming - and I will always appreciate it, it is now 23 years later and I think it is time to acknowledge some shortcomings.

The thing that comes to my mind first is the lack of any discussion pertaining to coding against interfaces, with components (and their interfaces) evolving over time.

Data abstraction gets discussed very early on, but the evolution of interfaces, its twin sister topic, does not get much air time. This is a pity since the goal of data abstraction (avoiding making assumptions on data representation) is pretty much the same, being able to change things later when the need arises.
The old File System API interface will not grant you access to the users filesystem. Instead you will have a "virtual drive" within the browser sandbox. The Native File System API gives you access to the actual file system.
Why? What's wrong with the standard behavior?

Apple kicked Blix out of the App Store, just before releasing sign in with Apple. Blix was an anonymous sign-up service.

When Catalina was released, they kicked out Luna and Duet after having copied their features in Sidecar.

When they released Screen Time, they kicked out similar apps from the App Store, despite being here for years.

The list is endless.
I’m just starting on a greenfield consumer-facing website for a client. We mostly work on business to business web applications so I’m really happy to finally make something “regular people” will visit. I’ll try better to make it accessible for less-abled visitors.

Is there a good get-started guide? How can I measure the “accessibility” of my website? Is there a free screenreader I should test with?
Of course there is not a universal value system. If you asked someone from nazi germany how they felt about jewish people editing wikipedia, they would probably respond negatively.

Does it follow that we should care? Creating Wikipedia is fundamentally a political act. It subscribes to views like information should be free, amateurs can compete with professionals in information compilation, articles should attempt to neutrally represent the facts, etc. These are all ideological views, many of them controversial. Why should we succumb to moral relativism when deciding on how wikipedians ought to collaborate, when we don't subscribe to moral relativism in other aspects of the creation of wikipedia. To put another way: being neutral in article content doesn't imply that we have to be neutral in literally every organizatiinal aspect.

Well the Mozilla add-on website maybe isn't the only way to distribute webextensions. Mozilla already hosts and lists the add-ons for free. It seems only normal it warns users that no verification has been made as they might assume since it's on an official website. Extensions may be hosted elsewhere and reviewed by online communities too. For example, the Krabby extension that add Kakoune keybindings to web navigation is hosted on github.
I wish this would be a completely normal thing to do. I think if we were more genuinely compassionate and cared more about each other’s lives then this world would be a better place.
Also no social safety nets, assuming you're moving from somewhere with safety nets. Where I live, I always know that if things get too bad I will always have enough to eat, and the ability to get medical care.

If I make a Google Doc from British Columbia, it is transferred to and stored on 15 servers in 5 datacenters, all outside British Columbia.

An image in the same document ends up in (kinda, depends how you measure) 4 servers in 3 locations - also none of them in BC.

Is Google breaking the law here, or is there some exception?
You are, I believe, referring to the "American Service Members Protection Act" [1], signed into law in 2002 by Bush?

This law, still on the books, theoretically allows the president to order military action against the ICC in Den Haag (The Hague) should they ever try an American Service Member.

> The act also prohibits U.S. military aid to countries that are party to the court. However, exceptions are allowed for aid to NATO members, major non-NATO allies, Taiwan, and countries that have entered into "Article 98 agreements", agreeing not to hand over U.S. nationals to the court.

I have the same question. For me at least, the issue it is trying to solve doesn't exist. I can't see it existing for many other people either, at least not to the extent that they need something like this.
Sure, mental state plays a big role. It could even be that if you had to "choose" between vitamin deficiency vs happiness deficiency, the latter would be more harmful. But, it would seem that vitamin deficiency is an easier technical problem we should solve regardless. And yet, I don't see any discussion of it coming from CDC or WHO, etc.
I don't know what you are talking about. Direct3D is Windows only. Metal is iOS and Mac only. Vulkan is in theory supported on all platforms but UWP doesn't allow it and Mac requires a compatibility wrapper.

If anything the graphics API war is still going on.
The requirement for finiteness means you are just working with lattices. Topology approached via frame homomorphisms (like in the nlab book) makes this clear.

Even within one country, where you live can make a huge difference in terms of how much rent you pay, whether you can get by without a car, etc.

If you get paid a lot but most of it goes directly to your landlord, you're not really any better off than someone who makes a bit less but keeps more of it.

Good call out. I should have better phrased.

I see two types of content. Published content and User generated content.

Published Content is any content produced by employees who run the website or customers who are hired by the employees to work for them. Here content is controlled and there is some sort of oversight as content gets published and there is responsibility on publishers. Generally there are some monetary incentives to the publishers to do that.

User generated content is any thing posted by any user. There are no monetary benefits to the users themselves. Not much oversight. Though there might be community guidelines, they are often not enforced. Consequences of not adhering to the policies might not matter much to the user.

From accessibility standpoint, there is not much we can do for the user generated content other than educate them. In the end, it's user's decision whether to adhere or not.

In case of published content, website owners have total control on what goes out to begin with. They can proactively enforce accessibility guidelines.

For the comment in discussion, my observation is that glyphs are popular for user generated content rather than published content. And from accessibility standpoint, it's an OK trade off.
Since you seem to know a bit about this: When that question came up I've frequently seen references to https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/203, which puts multi-decade limits on that - why would that not apply?
Asking for feedback for my project Feedo.xyz
Hi, friends,

My name is Vlad Zaev and I'm a sole developer of Feedo.xyz. It is a simple tool to get feedbacks from your customers.

In a day when my friend and I had a small pizza delivery service, I always wanted to know what my customers thought about my pizza. Was it good or not? Were they satisfied with a delivery speed? Did they need anything else, like new flavors or new drinks?

I wanted to know my customers' thoughts before they go to other web sites or apps to leave their feedback. No worries if it was a good feedback, but what about it was not?

How soon you can find out that some negative feedback is crushing your reputation?

No, I didn't want to wait. So I built Feedo.

The main purpose of Feedo is to let you to get feedbacks from customers as soon as possible. Feedo is a clear and easy tool. Nothing disturbs your customer from a quiz and your questions. No necessary logos or images, no long polls, no other buttons.

3 questions and a promo code for the next purchase. And if your customer happy and satisfied with your service, he or she will be shown links to your social networks or maps to leave a feedback there as well.

All new feedbacks go to a 'Received Box' on the main page. After all you can move them to other boxes as a Positive, Negative or Neutral box in a Trello like dashboard. Also you can add tags to each feedback to work it out later.

At Feedo you can find out your NPS score, number of clicks to your social networks and you can add Google Analytics to the quiz page.

Small business owners who tried Feedo for the last two month told me that it gave them a good push for changes. One of them fired his administrator for rude talks with customers, other found out new products to sell based on buyers wishes, third increased her clients loyalty, fourth got back a lot of visitors with Feedo promo code system.

I hope you'll like my first sole project. I'd love to hear your thoughts about Feedo.
I did not need to do that & never used slideshare
This is a very developer-centric view. I have no idea what extension you're trying to get people to install, but your complaint is ridiculous. I've run into more than one extension with tons of good reviews that did things like hijack links. You don't even know what's going on when it happens, or why.
Early on Tesla realised the human nerves did not respond to high-frequency RF.

So he frequently demonstrated pulling an arc from a Tesla coil using his fingers, with nothing but a brass thimble to protect him from burns.

But the whole point is that it is possible to generate surprising lightning displays with relatively low power (eg high Voltage but low Current).
Looks nice!

I have similar setup and custom unbound docker container based on distroless.

One suggestion: In unbound use more privacy-centric dns providers. https://www.privacytools.io/providers/dns/
I had a similar thought, if not so colourful.

Patting themselves on the back for supporting these companies (aside from Twilio) seems short-sighted to me. More gatekeepers, more bloat, more greed. Just what the internet needs.

> In retrospect, the early products themselves are barely recognizable today. Rather, passionate, analytical and relentless founders zigged and zagged their way to that elusive “product-market fit”

I wonder to what extent the founders' early visions had to be eroded to the lowest common denominator.
No, I'm not, but I'm working on it and I will be. It's been interesting today, seeing people at work walking around together, using work-sponsored coffee vouchers specifically to have a coffee with a colleague today, my face clearly says 'I am not okay', yet only two people have spoken to me at all today, some have clearly avoided me.
Keep in mind your audience here. I don't want to discourage you from adding markdown support, but I suspect that the overwhelming majority of your users won't know what markdown is, let alone actively want it.
I've written a bunch of things that were really well suited to async Python including an mpjeg server, a queueing server and a process management server that monitors the stdout and stderr of various processes and reads them in real time and acts upon the messages it reads.

Each one of those applications was made possible comprehensible and even easy by async Python.
'Racist techology' lol.
I think you might be talking about images that have no alt attribute at all. My understanding about present but empty alt tags is different:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/

https://web.dev/image-alt/#how-to-add-alternative-text-to-im...

https://yoast.com/image-seo-alt-tag-and-title-tag-optimizati...

As far as I understand it, screen readers should skip over the image with an empty alt attribute because it's like a page in a document saying "page deliberately left blank". Unlike no alt attribute in which no intention can be inferred and which screen readers do read (as far as I know they read the URL), an empty alt attribute is deliberately saying "ignore this image". Not being blind or partially-sighted I'm not sure whether this is the case in all screen readers, or whether theory is different than practice.
(playing along)

How long have you felt that way?
Like so many other products, services and initiatives, this website would greatly benefit from a prominently placed, buzzword-free, ELI5 explanation of what it actually does.

Finally I found this in one of the subpages that explains some of it:

I encourage you to improve your discourse, but I’ll participate anyways.

My argument is that Apple has significant market power, on iOS devices. There is no denying that. In fact it is a feature for me as a customer to pool my buying power into a “customer’s union” of sorts.

I also agree that Apple has built a large barrier to entry, i.e. it has built trust with customers like me. I truly believe you’ve never tried both Android and iOS in earnest, or else you’d feel similarly.

However, Apple has no monopoly on the devices market. I play Fortnite on my PS4 and always have.

Additionally, Apple has overall increased competition rather than hamper it. That said, I would like to see Apple compensate applications when it replaces poorer quality apps with better in-house versions, even though it doesn’t need to.

It would be a sincere set back for the entire economy if Apple was forced to sideload applications on iOS.

That said, as I have previously agreed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24419752

Hey, do you want to chat?
Mesa actually does support D3D9 natively for AMD (and, sort of, Intel) GPUs via the Gallium Nine project, and there is a branch of Wine that uses it.

But these days that's mostly superseded by DXVK (which implements D3D9 through 11 over Vulkan, kind of like Zink in the OP) and VKD3D (D3D12 over Vulkan).
I feel for you and am very sorry that you have to deal with it.

In my experience as a web dev it's simply that the "market" of blind people is too small for many companies to justify the expenses. I work in a B2B shop which sells a fairly expensive product so our potential visitor base is maybe in the low 1000s of people.

I'm certain there are at least some who are visually impaired and are unable to use our latest online offerings. However, comparing the ROI of fixing that versus the ROI of implementing a new feature that helps ~99% of our customers lead to only one conclusion.

It is my believe that the only route too improve the situation is through regulation. It worked for making public buildings more accessible in many places on this planet.

Not sure I agree with your first point (I do think people add pointless images though, which muddies the water somewhat) but that's an interesting point about partially-sighted users that I hadn't considered before. There's clearly not a binary blind / not blind distinction in people. Thanks for pointing that out - I'll consider that in future.
