Yep, `nmap -O` works pretty well!
While you can implement sidenavs using just CSS, you can't implement reveal menus which have become the most common nav for simple sites such as portfolios. Ie where you start with your fat logo centered and have it shrink into a fixed/sticky top menu/logo as you need to interrogate the scroll position for that.
(iirc) It was originally slid.es and the slides.com domain was added later, I know it's not an answer to your exact question, but slid.es was a pretty good start point too :-)

It was just renamed to Teex:

> FYI: This was renamed from "Tex" to avoid confusion with TeX -- This project is now called Teex! The GIFs below might still mention tex -- just replace that in your commands with teex

@dang can you rename the title of this submission as well?
Wow, were macs really this easy to use? I remember having to fuss with autoexec.bat and config.sys to squeeze a few more kilobytes of ram to get certain games to run (looking at you, wing commander) and having to worry about the difference between “expanded” and “extended” memory, and so on. Windows 95 and it’s descendants didn’t make things much better- now in addition to the actual file system there are virtual file systems (the registry) that frequently get out of sync with the actual one, causing additional problems. It’s an impressive achievement if macs really were this easy to use!
I thought Growl had that built-in already.
No, the distinction is clear. If your assigned probability is something that someone else can reproduce using the same steps given the same information, then it is objective (yet contextual). Your examples each have a clear reasoning behind the assigned probabilities, they're not just opinion-based assertions.
Why would you do that? Just use the native notifications.
You could have both (we're talking theoretically, I'm not holding my breath...): an automatic public API that answers queries, but final judgements would have to be approved by a human, sort of an automatic no-action letter. It would make public administration much more transparent while retaining a safety valve for corner cases.

Slightly OT, but while I understand the notion that it's desirable to have at least some form of "do what I mean, not what I say" baked into the system, in practice exploits happen where the law is being used for political bullshit as opposed to legitimate regulation.

I don't regard laws that are unclear, unenforceable or overly reliant on judicial interpretation to be serving the public good.
Ha, bravo for changing the name so quick! I must confess, I clicked on the link, then read the comments and was super confused about the hubbub as it was called Teex, and not Tex. Cool project, hope you are able to keep it up!
https does not 100% prevent any of those things.
You shouldn't have been trusting them in the first place. At least not completely. You're just taking their word for it and trusting a company blindly based on only their promise.
Powershell suffers from this same problem, and I find it very annoying.

Really recommend you speed this up if it's possible.
Are those really counterfeit? I understand they're knockoffs, and it's a shitty practice, but Arctix / Arcteryx is not a hidden difference in name - especially if you're searching for "snow pants" rather than the brand you want explicitly.

> You manually specified the tool to be run ($CC) and all of the arguments to that tool

Notably, I didn't specify the arguments to be used to compile the source files. But if you insist:

linklibrary = $(CC) -shared -o $1 $2

libfoo.so: $(OBJ)
$(call linklibrary,$@,$(OBJ))

Notably, linklibrary can be defined according the platform, or according to dynamically set variables, giving you the same level of flexibility as make.

>> There's no reason [sandboxing] shouldn't be possible with make; it just hasn't been implemented so.

> Make is 44 years old. If it were an easy extension to the existing paradigm, there has been ample time to implement such an extension.

‘Nobody's done it yet, ergo it's not possible or easy’ is not a valid argument.

> just one example, any header that is conditionally included (behind an #ifdef) could cause this cache to be invalidated when CFLAGS change, but Make has no idea of this.

Then you specify that the source files depend on the makefile.
Ask HN: Can I legally scrape job boards?
I was wondering how all these job boards get their offers and it seems that many of them just scrape other public job boards. Is it legal? Can companies sue me if I post their job offers on my own board?
After many, many hours of research on the right desk for me, I found https://vivo-us.com/search?q=desk-v11*&type=product. I think it's the best because 1) it can go low enough for me to sit normally in a chair and for my arms to rest comfortably at the keyboard (I'm 6' tall with a relatively average build and proportions) 2) It can go high enough to do the same, provided you have a monitor stand or something similar.

Even many of the sites that deliver dynamic content via javascript could probably have been designed to work just fine without it, but no, companies just have to have their tracking and serve up all their ads via JS.

Two noteworthy examples on this are Twitter and YouTube, especially in their latest designs. 99% of their functionality could be accomplished without any JS, and thus be accessible from a very wide range of browsers, but they've turned into horribly wasteful SPAs that now require an extremely recent browser and accompanying dependent software --- and hardware --- to access. IMHO it's a huge waste of resources, and it's time this endless churn was put to a stop.
Seemingly out of necessity?
Haha,

I had a Livejournal for my private stuff back then.

But most of my friends had one and they were all over the country so this was the only way to keep up.
It's similar to people building their own computer rigs. I built my own computers when I was younger and broke. It was cheaper to buy the parts and do the build yourself than it was to buy an off the shelf solution. It's also a great way to learn about the computer. As I got older, I would still lean toward building computers. However, today, I have way more responsibilities to be building the hardware, and my time is way too valuable to care about doing that myself. I just need the damn thing to work, and when it doesn't, there's a person to contact about resolving the situation. Between work, family, hobbies, etc, I have chosen to no longer care about these customizations/tweaks. There's really nothing different today for me to learn about a computer by doing the build myself: cpu, ram, bus, i/o controllers, etc. The core fundamentals are the same, just tech and speed has changed. My current devices have stock backgrounds. Rarely do I see my desktop as I have too many windows open doing actual work.

TL;DR I too care much less about this, but understand why others do. I encourage them to keep doing it even if I don't personally spend time with it.
Oh no. I'm the "weird dude who writes raw html".

Artisanally hand-crafted HTML + CSS + JS. Hosted on Netlify. A+++ would recommend. My content works locally just by double-clicking a .html file. I can publish or edit live content by pushing to my private Git repro. Super easy.

Static site generators suck balls and are 10x more trouble than they're worth. I always know exactly what I want my blog posts to look like. Static generators can make it extremely difficult to generate the precise output html I know I want. It's radically simpler to just add some extra padding if it is more aesthetically pleasing for that specific content.

There will always be a tiny number of people who won't allow JS, will use Linux as their desktop, etc.

These people don't represent anyone's customer base and can be pretty much ignored on the basis that they are curmudgeonly tech contrarians. They can't be sold to anyway, so who cares.

Honestly, this is the antivirus of the web. I helped my niece set up my old computer for Minecraft today, and she was explaining how her friend had installed viruses (adware, really) 3 times. Every one of those instances was caused by download link confusion for Minecraft mods. Disabling JavaScript isn't going to save you from being tricked into downloading shady software, only an adblocker will.

6) Incredulity: Acting as though what someone said is unbelievable.

Narcissists often use this tactic when they don’t understand what another person is saying. Rather than admit they are confused, they pretend that what the other person is saying is beyond belief. This is an attempt to dismiss valid concerns.

I think you are correct that there is a section of the field enchanted by the idea of VLIW and desperately hoping to justify any possible reason why building these chips was less of a bad notion than they’ve turned out to be each and every time.

I don’t think we’re really learning much by pretending building a new one is a good idea. Or that the last efforts had much value.

No one is saying don’t make progress on compilers. Look around you and you’ll see the things you just referenced already exist in practice in production today. (Among others: compiler/architecture co-design is a well established and fertile area of work. Compiling to intermediate formats which specialize for a device later is in use to some degree in App Store, which keeps programs in an intermediate format and thins binaries down to specific slices on demand for iOS devices, etc.) None of these technologies justify building a new VLIW chip or have frankly much to do with those efforts. The best thing we could learn from the huge amount of effort that’s gone into VLIW architectures is actually learn the lesson that in front of us, demonstrated repeatedly, that unless something substantial changes, VLIW does not produce a better architecture for processor cores and the assumption that it would was wrong.
Bob has a very simple algorithm to output probabilities. He just answers 50/50 for any yes or no question. This is reproducible. Is this objective?
Unfortunately, reality is messier than this. For example, Please currently has escape hatches that can be used that nullify these guarantees. What I have found is that if such a mechanism exists it will eventually be abused.

My perspective here is specifically from that of a maintainer of large builds where the code base is always under active development. Murphy's law becomes your enemy at scale.

This is not a criticism of Please - just an observation that as an industry we are not there yet. But, I'm happy to see things moving in the right direction.
I don't find a single one of those websites aesthetically pleasing

And I’m finding that with all these “buck the site design trend with this unnecessary design constraint”

Maybe you should re-read the post your penned then. Because from my perspective, it sounds like you feel a highly recognized javascript developer isn't qualified to work as a front-end developer.
Looks like the Taiwanese government forgot their tactic - because China is hiring away TSMC engineers to bolster China's chip manufacturing R&D.

Another point: BMW Motorrad has used driveshafts on their bikes since the 80s. In a conventional setup much like a automobile. The only real majntaining is to lube the end gear which sits in a kind of differential housing (there's no diff, but imagine how a car's driveshaft connects to the rear axle).

My bike (a k75) has it and well it's pretty cool!

The first couple months of COVID a lot of stuff was taking 2-3 weeks but that was often true even if you had Prime. Then they hired tons more people and it stopped. Maybe that's what you're talking about?

IMHO this is the best tool to present scientific content, because it really allows "multi media" in the original sense: formulas, different kinds of images, and videos.

Although I'm struggling right now with the formula part (going off the example in readme which is also not working) but I'm sure I'll figure that one out after some shut-eye. :P
At least QBasic gives you modern-style loops, no requirement for line numbers, etc.

It's a good starting point and it won't force bad habits on you. It's really too bad that Microsoft never managed to make VB.Net anywhere near as clean as QBasic/QuickBasic or the DOS version of VisualBasic.
> Don't you see the contradiction there? First he says it isn't helpful if foreigners criticize Russia, because Russians need to learn to criticize themselves. But later he says that his work aimed to lead the Jews to examine themselves, even though he is an outsider to that people and, by his own declared standards, it is none of his business.

This only follows if we accept the axiom "Jews aren't Russian". I'm not convinced that he thinks that (and I certainly don't).

> Also, after the Holocaust it is extremely inappropriate for any non-Jew to suggest that the Jews as a people have done anything bad or negative. The sole appropriate thing Solzhenitsyn could have done with regard to the Jews is either say something nice or not say anything at all.

To me, this is intellectual cowardice.

As far as I know, Solzhenitsyn's controversial view about Jews in the USSR is that they were viewed as less likely to be counterrevolutionary, and therefore quickly climbed the party hierarchy...at least initially. Stalin eventually adopted various anti-semitic measures (and Solzhenitsyn mentions this in The First Circle).
Yeah I can only speak for Guix but it's exactly this.

> Sure Go is near exclusively "incubated" by Google, they employ much of the core development team, but there is nothing preventing any organization from contributing to it.

Except if the majority of the expertise is held by Google employees it's extremely difficult to do anything without their support. What if Google decides to drop Go tomorrow? A lot of the expertise disappears with that decision and replacing it would require another company to step up and dump gobs of money into the project.

I didn't realize using Linux is the same as not allowing Javascript... I feel special!
You are correct that with a lot of effort you can get a compiler to emit VLIW instructions that can claw back some of these problems and have some, but not all, of the information you have available to the processor core at runtime which can make things slightly smarter. And with all of that effort which involves changing software distribution models, jettisoning energy efficient flexible heterogenous architectures, and abandoning SMT, you might be able to get something close to performing as well as… what we already have today without VLIW.

Not sure why anyone thinks that’s an argument for doing it.
That 600 MB is mostly standard library, and reusing it makes every app smaller. Statically linking everything creates size and version skew problems that I hoped we had left behind in the 1980s.

Growl was one of the projects that made me fall in love with the Mac. The themes, the ability to script to it in the PWA precursors I used to build (SSBs), and the easy way to plug it into your own apps. It was a core part of what made Mac apps in the Delicious Generation so special and so much better than apps on any other OS. I still think apps of that vintage are the height of good desktop application development.

When Growl moved to the Mac App Store, the writing was on the wall. I was so happy the team had a way to support themselves but the changes being made in Mac OS X (then known as OS X), even before Notification Center, definitely made stuff harder. After Notification Center and its adoption/similarity, and with the way macOS continued to restrict kernel extensions/modifications/plugins, it stopped being used as much by others. It ended up becoming difficult to install/run, and I gave up a few years ago, even though that meant some of my custom tools would no longer work the same way.

Huge kudos to the developers and the community. Seventeen years is a hell of a run.
The government knows what’s best, nothing to see here.

I'd love to see architecture driven by tools that show a projection of how a building might look after a few decades of weathering and, well, "realistic" amounts of maintenance.

Too many current architectural aesthetics are relying on the simple mechanism of focusing the eye on how impeccably fresh it's surfaces are. The buildings will then look impressive while they are impeccably fresh, and just rotten afterwards. Because the eye is then still focused on the same surfaces, now showcasing imperfections. "Minimalistic design" architecture rarely ages well unless aging was deliberately made part of the plan. Highly ornamental architecture however often works quite nicely after aging (or even partial decay), it's as if the visible aging gives the ornaments a form of authority they lack while new.

I don't know wether it would be a simulation approach ("where does how much rain water run down from window sills") or if some clever deep learning tricks similar to style transfer could be used or a combination. The "how" doesn't matter for the effect it could have on how architects and their customers think during the design phase.

Marketing a tool like that would not be easy, but with a sustainability angle it should not be impossible either.
>make me click the back button

I forget about the back button. By default, I always open links in new tabs which means back button has no data. Also, SPAs have hijacked the back button or just broken it completely, so I've been trained to not count on it behaving as expected. There's also mobile experience where getting to the back button itself is often painful after the UI hides navigation from you.

Otherwise, I am 100% in agreement. If a page is so user hostile to not making a friendly non-JS page, the tab gets closed

But that system would see a strange thing but it wouldn’t be sending information backwards because they wouldn’t be able to act on that information on earth or AC.

Am I misunderstanding it?
