There are some normal trichromats that also better resolve luminance and S-cone signals, so it's not necessarily mutually exclusive.

https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2135713

Normal trichromats read Ishihara plates using their L- and M-cones. Red-green color vision defective observers rely on S-cone and luminance signals in reading the plates. Some normal trichromats can read the hidden digit plates because they can extract S-cone signal difference efficiently despite the distraction from L- and M-cones.
Can be made with excess wind energy.
I’ve never understood why electrification makes it worse when it’s ugly without, and when the alternatives are also ugly.
<27 seems generous :)
Argh, I thought this was a (potential) new take on "The Great Gatsby" but it turns out to be some web framework I haven't heard of. Could we maybe name things so that tech things sound like they are tech?
The arm MacBooks will mean developing ARM code for your server is easier than x86.

I highly suspect we’ll see a switch from intel to arm in the server space in next 5-10 years.

The cloud vendors have so much to gain by building their own arm chips.
So one page of paper can store one page of data?
Why single out ships? Maybe we could just tax emissions such that the activity does not matter.
I started Refactoring – bi-weekly advice on management and software engineering
Yes you are right, taxing global companies effectively would help greatly. There seems to be no will (in the West at least) to do anything about it though.

Closing loopholes is a problem and it just becomes a war of attrition with accountants and lawyers. Maybe there does need to be the global coordinated effort on tax reform that is the typical excuse for why nothing is ever changed.

I can see why punitive action against foreign corporations could be seen as the easier option.
So just don't install them. You can make these decisions yourself, you don't need Apple to make them for you.
I’m just starting neurofeedback, curious what your experience was like. May I email you at the address you have on profile ?
Could you let us know what more modern medication you are using? I have serious problems with Ritalin side effects but am not aware of any alternatives besides adderall, vyvanse or riatlin like products.
While it might have been true at one time, this is not true anymore. A lot of their products are at price points that are not luxury.
This is the giant's shoulders I like to stand on!

Need to see more projects abstracting away the hard stuff (I'm looking at you, GUI libraries!)
I suspect it’s mostly price that makes it unattractive to users. Worrying about the walled garden is a fringe concern.
I'm really interested in hearing from someone that knows much more than me about this question:

Don't we generally know that we need to do more prescribed fire burning? Isn't this generally highjacked by the timber industry to protect valuable "product?"

If that's true, will this federal bill address that? It seems like it allocates money but doesn't talk about the other 53% of the lands that are not federally managed. And, it doesn't talk about whether the 47% lands are the problem or not. In Oregon where I live, the massive fires were ten miles from me in largely residentially adjacent lands. Are those going to be helped?

I love that this bill offers jobs to formerly incarcerated people that have been fighting fires.

If I'm wrong about my first assumption, would really like to know.

Also, I saw a statistic that said California needs to do prescribed burns of about a million acres a year to manage wildfire risk. They are currently doing only 40,000. But these massive fires over the last month are approaching that million acre number: does anyone know if next year we will be safer because of those fires?
i am into that kind of thing :-) if i wanted to try this kind of stuff at home, i.e. buying any necessary hardware myself, how much do you reckon the whole setup would cost? any suggestions on used NICs/switches to try this with?
>Like a writer will do her best when writing that novel that, maybe, nobody will pay a single cent for

No problem, it's just about woman's who write...not the job of writing.
This isn’t enough information to decide if the media is ignoring the story. Back in the age of print newspapers a common trick was front page above the fold story on Monday morning that was not true followed up by a one paragraph retraction on page 14 in Saturday’s paper.

The modern day digital equivalent is harder to determine and I am not aware of any service attempting to do so. The news companies have solid analytics on how their websites are used. For each of those articles linked were they on the front page? Did the user have to scroll down to a section where stories are only clicked on by 2% of users? Did the story remain linked on the front page of the website for 1 hour or for 2 days? Is the contents of the link the same as the contents was when it was first published?

It’s entirely possible that the reach of all of those articles you linked above could be measured in the 10’s of people rather than the millions.

Most people don’t search for news on a topic. They visit Fox/CNN or whatever their preferred source is and consume what is presented to them.
I went on a Princess Cruise one time. Really great value for what you get. See multiple places, get fed, entertained, for less than it costs for a hotel in a lot of these places.

Looking through a low level port window at night, to moonlight, honestly feels like travelling through outer space on the USS Enterprise. Its pretty unique.

About the only thing I didn't like is that since the food is included, it seems to attract seriously obese people to take these cruises. Just so they can indulge in buffet gluttony 3 times a day for several days non stop. Served by their poor and skinny third world waiters, with a reputation for f-ing like bunny rabbits in their cage like quarters.
The contrast is kind of comical.

Then seeing all these obese burgers leave the buffet tables, belly full, walking on a port deck at sea reminded me of wobbling marbles in a Maze run. Pretty funny and Wally like.

But wouldn't it make sense for a poorer countries government to buy this and use it for its tourism industry or even for fishing boats.

The value of a full ship has to be worth more than scrap metal. These ships are no longer to luxury standards. But most likely still very functional ships.
Yeah, I think that video appears to still have some digital delay. Perhaps something related to the satellite receiver decoding in that example.
Assange is being charged under a century-old law passed in order to criminalize dissent to US participation in WWI. I came across this randomly during my pandemic reading (The Great Influenza, about the Spanish Flu of 1918). It was really shocking to read how thoroughly the US government suppressed speech during WWI - it's not something I was at all aware of before.

The Espionage Act is almost certainly unconstitutional, though it's still on the books. Ever since the Vietnam War, there's been a tacit understanding that the government will only use the law to go after government employees who leak information, but that the government won't prosecute the people who publish the information. With this prosecution, the Trump administration is breaking that understanding. The precedent is being set that whenever a newspaper publishes, "Sources tell us..." or "According to documents viewed by...," they're opening themselves up to criminal prosecution.
Although it's annoying for logins, I really like that LinkedIn doesn't seem to retain cookie state in its in-app browser.

It's a bit like using a private browsing window. Every time I go to something from LinkedIn, it asks me for permission to hold cookies all over again, and this gives me confidence that the site isn't getting any cookies, and my logged in identity on Google (in my regular browser) isn't being tracked by the visited site.

It was annoying when I wanted to follow links to my regular browser, until I noticed that from the WebView there's a way to "share" to another browser (and also an "open in Firefox Focus"), and I can take it forward from there if I want.
But I want to install them. Forcing them to go trhough Apple forces them to follow certain guideline. I like the fact that there is no alternative for those who do not want to follow those guidelines.
I hate this protectionism of other market segments by Intel. It's only when they're forced to do they step up and remove these restrictions. When not they throw out a bone to prevent complete movement to the competition with a neutered version (2gb in this case).
I know the topic is about speech, but consider the underlying sentiment as well. Gandhi wrote his second letter to Hitler in 1940, as the world was engulfed in flames. I'd like to draw attention to his fourth paragraph, which begins with, "We have been trying for the past half a century to throw off the British rule..." he explains why he suspended India's struggle against the British, to resist Hitler: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/gandhi-s-letter-to-hitl...

I am saddened that people on Twitter are so polarized that they block me when I try to get them to read Gandhi, of all people.

Back in the 1960s, the left was for free-speech, and the right worked to control it, out of the Red Scare. My experience is that this situation is now reversed, with the extreme left engaging in the same speech restriction tactics to advance Social Justice and Critical Race Theory. (The extreme right is terrible, actually racist, without a doubt! Don't get me wrong - I am not shilling for anyone, I am just trying to be as objective as I can be.)

This polarization is making it difficult for people to see substantial issues. For example: there is a Uighur genocide taking place in China, and very few people are willing to read tweets about that.

How to fix this? Well, maybe you'd be interested in episode 40 of The Portal podcast, which goes over Arthur Koesler's 1944 essay on the Holocaust, back when nine out of ten Americans dismissed it as propaganda? https://art19.com/shows/the-portal/episodes/26457564-ea02-47...

I think we need to stop filtering people out, and quit this massive guilt-by-association thing. Stop clicking on people's profiles to see if you agree with them before you look at what they have to say...

If you have to provide cookies to get data, then how it is a privacy breach? Typically no one other than you has the cookies.
Apple TV is expensive though for people without a bunch of cash. Pay $400 for a 4K TV that has Netflix built in and then spend $200 for Apple TV too?
Intel still has an edge in single-core performance for laptop CPUs, and I agree that for a laptop that matters more than multicore due to the sorry state of multithreading in most apps.

That said, the cash cow is servers, and the AMD advantage in cores, RAM and I/O is overwhelming except for a very few niches that care about single-thread performance (high frequency trading is probably most of it).
Sure, as long as you're polite about it (and it would be incumbent on the reporter to be polite as well). It's not your responsibility to help users debug. If you do that often, for issues that are actually more widely reproducible, your software might end up getting a reputation for instability. Whether you care about that or not is up to you.
It's more efficient to remove the cause of emissions than to tax it and try to compensate for it. All carbon emissions should be taxed, but some things should just not be allowed.
> Side note: is there an updated latency.txt?

It hasn't changed.
I'm not colourblind enough to be "legally" colourblind (that is to say I don't have an accurate diagnosis) but I still feel your pain. I particularly hate status indicators that are orange/green, rather than red/green, because I just cannot tell them apart at all, where as at least the red gets a bit darker so that I can tell that "dim is off", for example. Nintendo seem to be pretty bad for this, at least with the Wii, because the LED is forever this weird yellow that looks like what I'd call yellow, but actually isn't, and I had to actually switch to the input on the TV just to check if it was switched off or if I'd managed to catch the button while dusting under the TV.
The real question is whether it is enough to stop huge fires from happening: is it enough to counteract global warming?
> And, although doing construction in a vacuum is never easy, it's a lot easier when you're in zero-g and you don't need a crane!

That's not exactly true just yet!

All our construction knowhow is based on thousands of years of building things on Earth's surface, under a constant 1G force pulling everything in a single direction, as well as a landmass to brace against. Every technique we have has these conditions baked in as assumptions; we exploit them all the time, without even thinking about it. Like, e.g. if you put some mortar on a brick, and then a brick on top of that, you're relying on gravity to supply the pressure that makes the two bricks strongly bound.

Meanwhile - AFAIK - we have zero experience in constructing anything in 0G, beyond assembling some large prefabs. The closest we come to microgravity construction is whatever it is that underwater welders do, but that's still not the same.

With this in mind, it may be that for now, building installations on Moon's surface will be easier than constructing them in space.
They aren’t right... it isn’t a tragedy of the commons, because it doesn’t involve the overuse of a shared resource.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

A tragedy of the commons is ALSO a collective action problem, but is not the same kind as what we are seeing here.
You are not calling for violations of a law to be tried between adversaries at court as an exception to normal business behavior. You are calling for the wholesale new regulation of business by the status and concentration of its market. A highly subjective and scope-dependent analysis specific to every company, every market, every industry. You should realize the difference.

You think that's what the courts are supposed to do? You have a serious flaw in understanding what courts are for if so.

Squeezing More Out of the F# Type System
A prisoner’s dilemma doesn’t require actual prisoners; it was the first example of this type of problem, which is why the name is used for all sorts of problems with the same characteristics; namely, that there is some optimal outcome for everyone that could be reached if everyone chose a particular decision, but their is always an individual incentive to ‘defect’ and choose the other option.
Oh no doubt such things transcend age. That said, there's truth to fact that most people tend to develop ways and get set in them the older they get.

The point being, experience is a double edge sword. An employer might not be age discriminating per se, as much as they need - and rightfully so - ppl who are able and willing to learn new tricks. Often that profile is not old dogs.

Not really. Who will invest in a facility, that runs occasionally on excess wind energy and stands rest of the time still?.. I want my investment working 24/7 with max 5 minutes maintenance each week.
Instead of arguing from first principles and the origins of Emojis, we're arguing - "Just get used to it". This is, my friend, how we regress as a society as no one challenges the status-quo.

I was hoping you'd provide some objective reasons that my comment was lacking, but you did none of those. I am open to hear and listen. We don't broaden the perspective for flat earthers, right? If we did, we would regress.

If there is any glimmer of hope - it would turn Emojis like symbols in Japanese Kanji script. They'd become logographic characters that are universally recognized across all languages. But, we're far from that. It needs to be formally included in the language, dictionary and schools.
Do you have evidence of anything being mined?

The constitution has nothing to do with citizens or non citizens. It's all about the instructions of how a government works, and what limits the government has.
Add that few children living with parents have children of their own. The population shrinks, the GDP stagnates.
if you office 365 at work, the browser login is shared with office 365 and the home page can be set to a page that integrates with your onedrive/teams/groups/sharepoint files.

On a side note, it is somewhat insane to me, that the new edge limits syncing of work account info to enterprise only customers, and non office 365 users.

If they would allow sync functions for all tiers, it would be really hard to advocate chrome over edge.

other than their complete asshole force update method, which is a different topic, but insanely frustrating.

The do it in tiers they choose, so random people across the company are getting it at different time. Even if it is undo, and rolled back, they will redo the upgrade the next time updates are done. Because of this, there is a growing amount of bad blood against the new edge.

And let us not forget the stupid fucking name, having a conversation and researching shit, "new edge", "old edge", "chrome edge." Have the stones to rebrand when you make a significant product change.
React isn't really a framework, though it's very close and a pretty flushed out DOM abstraction.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to "protect" from React in this case? It renders what you tell it to. From a component perspective, whatever the output of your component is, that's what gets rendered/updated on screen. There are a few escape hatches in place, depending on what you're trying to do though.

From TFA examples, when faced with similar issues (though not quite the same), I found directly writing SVG markup over a document background to be extremely straight forward with React.

For the most part, the problem you are describing is when you are actively trying to NOT use the tool you're using. I've been developing web based applications since the mid 90's and React is hands down the best tool I've used in that timeframe for web applications. That said, if you're mostly delivering static content, then it may not be the best fit. In those cases using something like Vue, or another option for enhancements (even jQuery-like) may be a better option.

If you're going to use React, you are best off understanding and embracing it... if you aren't, then don't use it. I don't intend to be mean, it just seems your perspective is off. It's much like asking how you use a SQL oriented database without the inconvenience of SQL or data types.
I dunno, I think my kid's 4900U laptop is the single core king. Right?
Some open source authors are also annoyed by:

5) Reporters not spending hours getting familiar with the build system to verify the bug in origin/master, even though it's been there in the three last stable releases.

6) Not providing a patch.

7) Not using the appropriate jargon for everything.

Entitlement is very much a thing (on both sides of the fence), but these are going to be extremely off-putting for anyone who is only ever going to be an end user.
That video is so frustrating: I’m just trying to look at the thing, but your LEDs keep on cycling through annoying and distracting patterns that quite ruin the picture by throwing the camera’s light metering off and adding lens flare. I got about halfway through before it was altogether too much for me.

I would have really enjoyed watching the same video with the LEDs turned off.

Anyway, I’m going to look more closely into this now, because other that that it looks like a really interesting project! :-)
You're approaching this from a position that relies on a bunch of unsound assumptions. You're assuming that the person is bleeding. You're assuming they're trying to stop it.

If mjw1007 reports a bug in a piece of software that mjw1007 doesn't even use, and the project maintainer responds as if mjw1007 is trying to get something from the maintainer, then in addition to it becoming clear that having taken the time to file the bug was a waste, the maintainer's response is going to be infuriating. I can corroborate with firsthand experience, and you should be able to agree just by considering the circumstances—which differ from your assumptions, and that's the problem.

There's a fundamental disconnect here between how you understand the bugtracker to be used versus how others are actually using it and what any given person expects to get out of it. To repeat: that it's possible for the maintainer (or one of the project's fans) to give a response that gets mjw1007's intention wrong is only possible because people are freely mixing bug reports with other types of feedback. (The project doesn't actually have a bugtracker at that point!)

Side note: it's not useful to move from concrete to abstract by turning to a metaphor ("bleeding"); it makes it more difficult.

There's nothing stopping anyone from acknowledging the bug _and_ offering a workaround. That's the best of both worlds. The complaint here seems to be about responses that dismiss the validity of the bug report based on the existence of a workaround.

It's totally valid for the maintainer of an open source project's response to a bug report to be "I don't care enough about this use case to fix this bug", but the courteous thing to do is to be upfront about that.
Sorry this is a bit nitpicky but since this is HN ... is it strictly correct to call this knob “analogue”? The old fashioned ones were clockwork and the newer ones are some kind of digital rotary controller ... I guess if we’re describing the experience rather than the mechanism maybe just good old “knob” suffice!
