This, especially the long-awaited introduction of logical operators (&&, ||) is most welcome.

In the past I used bash then zsh then migrated to fish and not looking back. If you work in a shell a lot I can't recommend it enough; it will boost your productivity. Especially with tons of cool extras like oh-my-fish.

Huge thanks to all the contributors; keep up the good work!
Yup, it’s a Recipe generator. It doesn’t know any recipes by itself.
I think at the current stage you are looking at an early draft of the HTML spec and wonder where to put the tweets in. Waaay ahead of any point to tell anything about what "user would go for".
just curious, finding topics is it like the eureka moment where things naturally flow and spark a new topic/idea in the mind or do you have to research what are you going to talk about or can it be things you might have worked on
15k is pretty good for no marketing!

As a fairly intentional design decision, you need to provide context from your kitchen - a search engine query, essentially - before you see results.

The concept is that RecipeRadar will ultimately help you track your kitchen inventory (all on your own device; there are no user accounts), and then the search step will disappear into the background - you'll be straight into browsing recipes that match your context.

It's not there yet and I'd appreciate hearing about how you like to browse recipes in case that's something else that can be supported.
This is a pretty apples and oranges comparison. Suppose it takes 30 people to maintain the ship. 70 people are working on it, mostly doing administrative work that makes them feel important. 10 people decided to fuck off and form a band, but honestly we kinda like them. 10 people developed space sickness and are useless. 5 people snuck on board accidently and got shot into space and nobody really liked them anyway. And the final 5 keep talking about their start-up, whatever the hell that means.

We'd jettison them, but we kinda want at least 70 people to run the ship and we have supplies for 100 people that honestly just burn sometimes.
Exactly this happened to me. We bought the TV and for years things were great. Really loved the functionality of the smart TV. Being able to stream YouTube at a moments notice was great.

But then the adverts started. We paid $3000 for this TV. Not a low end “ad-supported tv” The only way to “opt out” is to disable the “smart” TV function which I have done. Any smarts now comes from my Apple TV which does not thrust averts in my face. Needless to say, my last Samsung purchase ever.

Fuel is burned throughout the flight, not just take-off (and initial climb to altitude), which is why airliners flying long-haul routes usually gain altitude as they progress. The Cessna 172 seems to have a fuel fraction of around 20% (an order of magnitude higher than a car), and airliners are much higher (~40%).[1][2]

Ask HN: How to build web app with hight browser cross compatibility?
Hello HN,

A am about to create new version of niche web app.
Most of our audience are big, corporate clients.
Some of them are using outdated web browsers.

What kind of tools are you using that could help ensure better browser cross compatibility?

Unfortunately some part of web app might be heavy dependent on JS/DOM manipulations.

What I am looking for:

* Hints like: 'this CSS selector is not supported on X' or 'method document.getXYZ is not available in Y' or 'you can not nest <some-element> inside <other-element> in Z'

* Automated test that interact with real browser.

* Libraries / frameworks that support old browsers

* Web browser plugin that could spot problems

* ???

At the end of the day I will be testing if app is working manually on some of old browsers but I am looking into a way to catch problems as fast as it is possible and having to do less manual labor.

What are your thoughts?

That is however not how civil rights movement worked in general. And actual blacks were beaten up or worst by klan. It was not something that would be exceptional either. The violence in particular around voting suppression was very real and not just about how people feel. It was not just about personal hate, or was more rational about who is going to rule the place.

The person you responded to asked how many. The answer is that not many. And it is not like having black friends meant you won't be racist. Nor having wife or mom you like prevents mysoginy. Personal relationships have part only up to the point.

That being said, some nazi members had a Jew they personally liked or protected. It dis mot stopped genocide.

To preface — I love Fish — "Finally, a command line shell for the 90s" is an apt description. I use it every day.

But I haven't managed to recommend it to beginners. There are so many bash instructions out there, and translating between bash and fish isn't easy for a beginner.

That's a great shame and missed opportunity, because beginners would in particular value a nice shell. The shell is often one of the harder tools to learn — e.g. I find beginners are more comfortable in a Jupyter Notebook than they are the shell.

I'm not sure whether there's a way of combining fish's ease of use with a notion of compatibility — maybe a "bash mode" for beginners, which accepts bash commands? Or error messages which return translated commands?

(I recognize not all commands can be translated, but all of those that would be run by a beginner can be)

happy user of fish with very few simple customizations:

set fish_greeting

function fish_prompt
echo (set_color green)(prompt_pwd)(set_color normal)'> '
end

edit: also there is a change that didn't get mentioned: fish now accepts `A=1 echo $A` for instance without using `env A=1 echo $A` like at some point

> Between the creator and consumer, choices should be available and not restricted to any specific platform.

So don't, then. Apple doesn't force developers to make iPhone exclusive content. And consumers are not forced to use only one device. This whole issue is merely developers complaining that they want cheaper access to the most lucrative markets. It has nothing to do with consumers.
So in the end it's a glorified boiler!
I'm not sure that's the case, rather I think that companies pay to have their apps featured on the remote, not the other way round.
Well, let's get to the bottom of it, shall we?

I will describe a sequence of events. You tell me which acts of speech you want to proscribe and which ones you want to permit.

1. Person A says "I don't like people whose name starts with R. They are disgusting and ugly"

2. Person B says "That's bigoted"

3. Person B tells Person C "A is bigoted because he hates people whose name starts with R"

4. Person C says "That's horrible. We should boycott any business that A is employed at"

5. Person B says "You are right. I will tell everyone"

6. Person A says "This is not fair. I have a right to being employed despite these opinions of mine"

7. Person B says "That's right. And I have a right to not use your employer's services unless you are fired"

8. Person D, overhearing this, finds a big soap box "Everyone! A is bigoted! He hates people whose name starts with R! Join me in boycotting his employer until they fire him"

9. Person E says "If he is fired, I will stop using the product. I'm going to tell everyone about this boycott campaign"

10. Person F says "If he is fired, I will hire him. My company has a lot of R-haters and we get along fine"

Tell me which of these things you will proscribe and which of these things you will permit. I, because I believe in the freedom of speech and association, would permit all of these. In SV, all of these are permissible.

So let's hear what you will do. Name the numbers. That will do.

And if you want to offer more examples to narrow the scope of my belief, please do.

My layman's understanding is that recently available (~last 5 years) industrial scale processes to produce rebco tape[1] is the specific advance in superconductor tech that's specifically enabling higher tesla magnetic field strengths from significantly smaller and lighter and easier to manage magnets, so you can get a system that's "powerful enough" to run net posititve at a size that's small enough to be built by a few universities rather than a few dozen nations (i.e. ITER), so the complexity of the engineering project drops from "unimaginable" to "just very high".

The idea of Cloudflare over Google is in their business model to me.

Google is in the business of giving stuff away for free (mostly) and then harvesting as much data as they can to build ad profiles on you.

Cloudflare is in the business of charging money for their services (other than the free tier which is really just a sales funnel) and nothing I have seen from them is about selling or sharing that data in a non anonymized way.
As they say on WSB... this is the way :)

Impressive. Did someone in your previous job look out for you? Did you have a mentor?

I didn’t mean to address any view of my own competence, more that I was able to build a successful career without going through conventional channels, and with an anxiety disorder.

I was being ironic about the false modesty, wondering whether you know you're good and whether you know that you know you're good.

The reason is that it increases expectations without a concurrent increase in agency.

People tend to describe this dynamic as "always-connected" or something similar, but that verbiage really just scratches the surface of the underlying mechanics. At it's heart, it's all about trying to increasingly make "your time" into "my time", and that's not fair if you go back to our basic assumptions about what makes us human and why freedom is important.

Almost every dystopian sci-fi novel includes the theme of humans in some way being enslaved to machines, and this dynamic is the beginning of just such a thing. Here, the machine is not yet a machine but rather another person, but the outcome is the same; it starts to become a form of "attention slavery".

Is that a sensible question? I think the real question environmentally aware folks ask themselves whenever they're about to order a steak or book a flight etc is "why should I bother making any changes to my lifestyle now that we've fucked things up?"

The answer is, "There are degrees of fucked up".
The problem is consent. People think of email like regular mail. They don't understand that you're able to track them every time they open a message. The reason people are creeped out by "I see you are opening my email" is because the tracking itself is unexpected and unwanted.
Most of demand isn't absolute need, the rest is just dynamic pricing and adapting consumption to it by eg intra day shifting of heating/cooling/charging loads.

that's a cynical way of thinking. applying something in a new area is innovative. For example, the iphone was a mobile phone + mp3 player + ... none of that stuff was new, but yet the iphone was incredibly innovative.

this helps streamline a process. one of the annoyances at go stores was waiting for someone to pull out their phone, open the app, and scan. I was like if you dont have your phone out already, step aside until you do, but at least this solves part of that issue.

Where do you see $5B? Per WSJ and CFTC:

> The total fine includes a penalty of $437 million, restitution of $311 million and disgorgement of $172 million, the CFTC said. Disgorgement is the requirement to pay back profits that were illegally earned.

It appears that they made less than $200M in profit (spoofing is usually a relatively low margin trade).
On mine I was able to do an offline firmware update by loading the new firmware onto USB flash drive. Was hoping the new firmware would fix a bug in the built-in video player, but it didn't.
Another difference between a typical TV screen and a typical monitor is many TVs will dynamically adjust brightness depending on what's displayed, and maybe other factors. Sometimes this is on by default and you can turn it off in a menu, but I've met TVs where you can't turn it off.

Using a TV which adjusts the brightness depending on what's displayed can be very unpleasant when trying to do computer work on it. E.g. opening or closing a window may cause other windows to abruptly change brightness. Scrolling through a document may cause the brightness to vary.

>but it seems willfully blind to not see that they serve different social and economic roles in the American class system.

Sure. Just like a BMW is a status symbol in a way that a Toyota Corolla is not. The irony in this case, which also applies to state vs ivy league schools, is that a Corolla is a more reliable car (cheaper to operate and cheaper to maintain too!) - so as a car it is 'better', though just not as 'cool'. Similarly, a state school will provide you a quality education at a fraction of the cost and afford you all or most of the same kinds of opportunities as a ivy league school.

So what does that mean for the 'American class system'? To me it means that we live in a a society where you can spend lots of money to acquire 'status'... or you can save that money and do your own thing.
This is just not true in my experience.

A poor-quality headset mic and sub-standard audio software might. People dialing in on a phone should always be muted at all times, even when they have something to say, because phone quality with Zoom isn't good. But on my laptop, with my headphones, I can even chew and no sound is transmitted at all. I can see this on my real-time level monitor, and have confirmed it with others. I don't eat during meetings, but I could.

Typing and sniffing sounds like people using a built-in laptop mic as a speakerphone, not a headset.

Some of these mines that have been stopped for environmental concerns ship ore to foreign countries at peanut rates, literally a few rupees per ton. These are made into products that are then imported into India. If you really think that the way out of poverty is by selling raw ore and irreparably damaging environment, which by the way is a genuine wealth of the country, then you have either not thought it through or are intentionally shilling with dishonest intent.

Hi, it's a pleasure to have the opportunity to share more about what we are doing here at TheVentureCity

Happy to answer any questions that you might have about the program we are running next week, which is 100% remote, 100% free to join.
I had a headset mic that worked fine as long as I plugged it directly in to my laptop.

Then one day I plugged it in to the port on my laptop's dock, instead of the plug on the laptop itself. In the dock's port it was suddenly so sensitive that it was picking up the slightest sound out of the headphones (and immediately feeding back)! And a conversation going on in the neighboring conference room, that I couldn't even hear on my own! Unless you really focused on something it was just insane loud background noise. But, it was fine once I turned the mic volume down to like 2%. But also, my words could be made out even with the insane sensitivity--I guess that's pretty impressive dynamic range.

So:

1. If you're picking up things on the mic you think you shouldn't, try turning down the mic's volume, it might be that your voice stays loud enough, but everything else drops off.

2. If you're getting background noise now, it might not be your new setting, it might be your computer hardware. If you're using different computing hardware maybe you need to fuss with the volume even though it's the same headset as before.
Intuitive description. Thanks!
