Your headline is a lie.

You suspect they used a different screen brightness, but you don’t actually know.

It’s easily possible that the different laptops have a different number of clicks in their bightness settings since they use different panels.

I agree that it would be better for them to use a nits value or some other objective measure.

You however don’t know what the value is and so have made a false claim with your headline.

How about updating the headline to a question or a suspicion?
I often hear color talk from certain people about moving away from the city to Idaho or somewhere desolate to be “free” and shoot guns.

I don't think Wikipedia fosters the kind of nihilistic hatred that lead to harassment campaigns and real world violence the way 4chan does. I get that not all of 4chan is pol and r9k, but that's still a decent chunk of the users. I can't think of a place on the internet with a higher concentration of incels and alt-right nazi types, besides 8chan.

Ask HN: Logo Programming Language Implementation
I want to write some programs in Logo Programming language and relive my childhood when I used to write logo programs and make houses. I would prefer a linux implementation but windows would also be fine.
SoundCloud - I listen to the artists that my favorite artists listen to, as well as the tracks they repost.

Spotify - Start with an artist I like, listen to all the similar suggested artists, recursively do this until I'm back to the original artist.

YouTube - same as above except with channels. Lately I've been into stoner doom metal, so 666MrDoom is the starting point. From there I listen to all the related channels.

It's a lot of manual labor but I enjoy the process and often stumble upon gems that make my skin tingle.

Yes, English was my first option too. It's "easy" but it can become quite subtle and complicated. Most newbies think they have mastered it just because they can say "FizzBuzz" in it. It's widely used although sometimes it makes you scratch your head why it was chosen over other languages for some specific cases.There are lots of tutorials and documentation available to learn it.
I have been thinking about the same argument recently as well and the most compelling argument I can come up with to justify it is that the states give up some of their power in the federal scheme in return for a degree of sovereignty. That conception of it works out pretty well if the federal government is limited and deals with concerns that all states share (like defense) and leaves most of the decisions that impact people's everyday lives to the states. IE, the degree to which the federal government impacts a person's life in California is far less than California's impact on that person's life. But interpretations of the interstate commerce clause really drive up the federal governments power to where that tradeoff in power might not be worth it. It is interesting, really, to consider this system where we have sort of two, dual sovereign entities governing us that are sort of kind of related but not directly so.
"Does this person deserve to be treated like a human being based off <x immutable property>" isn't really acceptable in civil society and for good reason. Keep that stuff to 4chan, not in my workplace. That's not some sort of "leftist" thing.

Govt is not a singular entity, not in US, not in China. Xi is one person and he can't run the whole country by himself.

I don't even think Xi's work involved any particular IPO, the stock exchange and regulators on that level rushed the process likely knowing what's to come and having huge amount to gain from it. Which made them competing interest against the central government, and in the murky waters local/lower level functionaries often win because central government can't focus on all of them.

This happened in Wuhan, with disastrous consequences. But the saving grace is when things no longer stay murky, that it has drawn the full attention of the central government, the center always win, often the opposition will just cease to exist. That has also happened in Wuhan/Hubei.

This is likely the case here.

Yes, and with GPL violations there's a path forward that doesn't involve shutting down: release your source code. With DRM breakers, there is no such path forward, the only way to get into compliance is to shut down.

> There is something medically wrong with your body

Yeah, there's gonna be some things wrong with your body as you get older. Unless you die by misadventure, one of them will very probably get you killed.

'Injured older adult' is a club we all get invited to, and pharmacology so far seems to be a big exercise in replacing one set of symptoms with a less annoying set. Pharmacology adds all sorts of new dimensions to that (since we mostly play a game of symptom substitutions)
Looking at the list of hardware that doesn’t work anymore and I’m delighted I didn’t buy any when i was considering it. I would be very pissed right now if the expensive hardware I bought stopped working due to an OS upgrade. Most of my musical equipment is much older than NI as a company even and I never have to worry about it breaking due to software updates.
Of course they do. Specifically they went into a lot of details during last investor presentation.
> Inasmuch as its Apple's market, its theirs to do with as they please.

No it is not.

That doesn't matter. People could make the same claims about microsoft, that it "created" it's own OS market.

But we all know how that went. Microsoft lost its anti trust case.

> antitrust has generally been focused on acquisitions and mergers

Or we could just look at the Microsoft case. The Microsoft case is directly applicable to Apples case.

It doesn't matter if microsoft or apple "created" the market for OSes. They can still have significant market power.

Imagine if Microsoft took the same exact actions that Apple did regarding app stores, on internet explorer.

Imagine that Microsoft prevented all 3rd party web browsers, and then charged a 30% fee to websites accessed through IE.

This would be clearly and obviously anti competitive. Why can't we use the same argument against Apple?
Looks great, not sure about the pricing. Maybe offer a 50 or 100 dollar package, and charge the full 499 for the ultra fine tuning secret sauce package? I'd understand if you don't want to dilute your content though. Maybe offer as a monthly/yearly subscription?

How does shortening copyright length solve the DRM problem? Companies could still put DRM on 50 year old content, and it would still be illegal to break the DRM because breaking DRM is against the law even if an individual piece of content isn't copyrighted.
So you're theory is that TikTok has some nefarious plan, but that they couldn't help but put a giant clue in their package name? Seems much more likely that it's something that doesn't come through translation well or just a random name they used during development.

If you can define methods on an object dynamically in Python, it doesn't mean that you should. Monkeypatching is not encouraged in culturally in Python. Most often it is seen in tests otherwise, it is rare.

Nobody forbids using ABCs to define your custom interfaces or using type hints for readability/IDE support/linting (my order of preference).
For something to be widely available in 10 years, the R&D has to be mostly done right about today. I think it's likely that we'll see a CRISPR-like technique in the experimental stages for one or two diseases in humans in the next decade, but it's basically impossible that we'll have many such therapies approved in that time. We're in the "kind of works in mice" stage of research. That's very far from approved in humans.

It doesn't matter if you have the types ascribed explicitly or not. In the end, the developer needs to know the types in both cases anyways. Otherwise, if they don't know the types, they will pass in a callable that expects the wrong types (for example they mix up [int, Exception] to [Exception, int]) and now you just have a runtime error.

If anything, having type signatures like that are a good thing! If you think they are too complicated/ugly or driving you crazy, then you have an incentive to improve them. In many languages, callbacks are now considered bad style and that's good! Hiding the type signature does not make the problem go away, you just move it into the future where it will bite you even more.

Yes, totally agree. It's the lack of statical type systems like this one that makes people hate them - for good reasons.

> We in fact tried, and mostly succeeded, in boycotting DRM when it was cumbersome, full of bugs, and annoyed users in the early 2000s.

I wonder what the author could possibly be talking about.

The only boycott that could be effective is customers saying, en masse, that they will not watch some specific, otherwise-popular content because it is only available via DRM. I don't believe this has ever happened. I don't think even the hardest-core anti-DRM people I've ever known would simply refuse to watch a movie they think they would like on these grounds.

For example, Firefox refusing to support DRM would have been completely ineffective because essentially all users, on encountering video they want to watch that requires such DRM, would simply switch to Chrome to view that video.
The free market. Cancel culture will.
Linux UI is far worse than Windows. It's not even close. I use Linux but definitely not for its UI.

Windows can out-of-the-box do HiDPI, multiple monitors, multiple desktops, trackpad gestures, hardware accelerated UI rendering, facial recognition logins, and more. It was designed as a desktop OS.

On Linux some things are getting better if you stick to the Wayland+GNOME stack, but it's still so bad I can't recommend it to people on technical grounds. Use it if you believe in free software, not because you think it's "better" (it's not).

it is high cohesion vs. loose coupling (old concepts that are also as useful in 2020 as ever). If something is too inter-tangled, it probably should be inside the same program/system where you can guarantee a tight fit between components.
Sort of?

On the one hand, they were a cultural byword for a morally degraded profession at the time. "Tax collectors and prostitutes" is a phrase that comes up not infrequently in the gospels, and not just out of Jesus' mouth
So apparently the practice of tax collecting was a little weird in the Roman Empire.

On the other hand, he was known for having dinner with tax collectors and prostitutes. One of his 12 disciples was a tax collector.

IIUC, that example seems more like an indictment of the scanner manufacturers, not the developers of SANE. SANE includes that code because some manufacturers didn't implement such a simple, obvious, and crucial constraint in the hardware. Unless maybe the poster's point was that the SANE developers shouldn't try to support such fundamentally broken hardware?
Thanks for the question!
Yes, both Logseq and Athens are working on open source knowledge base tool, and both are using clojure/clojurescript and datascript. Some differences are:
1. logseq works directly with plaintext files (it support both org mode and markdown for the record, we plan to add more markup formats like asciidoc in the future).
2. logseq can be used on the web and can be synced using Git.
3. logseq draws a lot of ideas from org mode, tiddlywiki instead of only Roam Research.

Athens is working on a desktop app (which we'll start building soon). It's always great to have multiple implementations so that we can learn from each other.
Why? This seems like an irrational fear, it’s not specific to JavaScript in any way. All code is subject to those exploits. Anything you run in any language.
Agree. My last experience with angular (and ionic in particular) is it's hard to archive both good DX and UX.

There are tools that produce smaller bundle size (e.g. stencil and react) but angular has much better DX.

Svelte maybe better but not used it in production yet.
I haven't given it a fair chance, I haven't done python in a few years at work, moving to typescript/node, Go, and Rust instead. I'll definitely check it out though. I was looking at it the other day and it reminded me a lot of flask or to a lesser degree Django with django rest framework, but I didn't make it far enough to understand what was going on with serialization.

I actually just learned about fastapi two days ago, I guess I'm a lot more disconnected from python than I thought I was.

Ok sure, but that poster said - quoting again - "which are even less accountable than a democratic government"

So you're arguing that we don't need to hold GWB to account. Fair enough, there were mitigating circumstances. But then in what sense is the government accountable for anything?

Corporations and government are both held to account through the courts, I suppose. But the government will often change the rules so it isn't accountable (eg, wiretapping scandals), so that is a weaker form of accountability than a corporation faces. Is there an actual meaty argument to the idea that governments are more accountable than corporations? Because I'm drawing blanks on the times when a government was held to account for anything in a manner that wouldn't also apply to corporate actions.
Dutch of course. Just ask Guido.

Case law is not supposed to make new laws. It's only supposed to apply existing law to the facts of particular cases. That has to be done because no written statute can specify how it would apply to all possible combinations of facts. But there's still a difference between applying a statute to particular facts, and making new law that goes beyond anything the statute says or implies. I am certainly not the only one to believe that many court decisions since the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the 1960s have done the latter, not the former.
The credit scores are accurate now, but what if a recession happens? Similar to subprime mortgage, if housing values keep going up there wouldn’t be any problem even if people defaulted. But the economy as a whole can change and your credit score based on when economy was well is suddenly useless.
I read a book that argued that the primary thing communism accomplished was smash horribly unjust feudal states and clear the way for liberal capitalist democracies.

I'm still under the belief that too much centralized planning can severely hurt an economy but that organization is way better for the economy than everything being locked down by a narrow class of land owning elites.

Could you drill down to specific examples of things Trump did that you think no president should be able to do?

I'll go first but in an ironic way. Trump pulled out of the Paris climate accord which, if you peruse the Constitution [1], you might notice Obama entered the U.S. into seemingly illegally, without consent of Congress in the first place [2]. How did that happen? The Kyoto agreement was also never submitted to Congress for ratification [3]. And let me show my cards and say thank God we never ratified these documents, as that would be tantamount to allowing a world government control over our economy. Treaties you see are the supreme law of the land around here [4].

I don't know if you'd consider Trump's action on this particular treaty to be part of the shit he "got away with" but I find it to be a fitting example of something your average Republican president would probably just go along with, knowing it's a toothless treaty that would never be ratified. But Trump, for political or whatever reasons, felt like reversing Obama's policy in the same way he implemented it. And Congress having no part in the whole affair.

In fact the vast majority of what Trump did was in the form of executive order, most of which had very little impact on state's or individual rights.

So yeah what are these things that Trump did that Congress was either remiss or enabling him to do? If it's stuff related to the border, immigration policy, foreign policy, or the like, that's mostly outside Congress's purview, except the aforementioned treaty power.

Just trying to figure out what's the ethically sketchy stuff that should have been checked by Congress or perhaps the courts. That way we can narrow down a set of principles that could possibly apply to Biden (assuming he's elected).
