Here's the way I think they should be used:

Up == agreement

Down == disagreement

Flag == violates community standards

I generally try to add a thoughtful response to anything I downvote, but I am guilty of downvoting and moving on a couple of times.

I think requiring a response to downvote would be better than removing downvoting entirely.

Sure, OC's situation could be categorized as escapism, technically, but it doesn't sound like the unhealthy kind. Escapism is only unhealthy if you're participating in the activity at the detriment of your long term fulfillment.

Similarly, addiction is generally bad, but if your addiction isn't detrimental to your long-term health, there's no problem.
I haven't been through a lot of comments here or at the link, but I'll bring up something I ran into in what I realize now was an early version of "vendoring": over a decade ago I was playing around with https://www.ros.org/, and there were no distribution packages, so I went with the vendor method, and I distinctly remember it downloading gobs of stuff and building it, only to break here and there. It was fucking terrible to work with and I only did it because it was R&D, not a production grade project, and I was being paid full time for it.

Vendoring "build" processes, IME, are incredibly prone to breakage, and that alone is reason I won't bother with them for a lot of production stuff. Debian is stable - I can "apt install $PACKAGE" and not have to worry about some random library being pulled from the latest GitHub version breaking the whole gorram build.
Yes, he says it right in the post. They had a donation link in the about section that Apple forced them to remove because the payments weren't going through the app store payment system where they get a cut.

I don't understand your reference. It seems negative, but it's hard imho to go down on the success of Minecraft. Or am I misunderstanding you?
I know I risk sounding offensive but please accept that this is just an honest inquiry. Have you considered that you are causing that sort of content to hit your “for you page” by how your engaging with it? I ask because if someone asked me for a description of what’s most on tiktok based on what is in my feeds, it would be woodworking, cooking, arduinio projects and 3D printing stuff, with a bit of stand-up and DnD. I didn’t set any preferences or such to make it so, it just ender up that way through what I liked and the half a dosen people I follow.

I am in no way under the illusion that this is what most see. But i have to question if people that complain about Charlie Damelio and similar people being shown too much, just aren’t spending a lot of time watching the videos, commenting and liking them. If you scroll past they stop popping up.

Overall the content creators I see content from seem extremely good for these smaller niche communities.

As a plus, the most unbiased source of content for the BLM protests I found was tiktok, because it was just livestreams and videos from the protests with little possibility to editorialize it. Instead of anchors screaming “violent!” Or sternly saying “peaceful!” You got streamers on spot showing exactly how violent or peaceful certain situations were.

Its spiritual successor was the Asus RTN-16. I still have one sitting on my bench, running TomatoUSB. I got it 9 years ago, and for the past 5 years it's been a 2.4ghz wifi bridge, connecting the hardwired devices in my office to the wifi router in my house. It just keeps working, so I keep using it.

Of course I can't forget the first time I got a WRT54G. My brother in law had one just sitting around unused (around 2006 I think) and while I didn't know a lot about them, I asked him about the router. I ended up trading him a well used laptop for it. The router was the locked down version. Then it died. Oh well.

Sorry, I get an excess of grief on some topics and it's especially aggravating in this case because I feel I really ought to have a reputation as something of a subject matter expert and would if it weren't for an eight year long campaign of very polite character assassination, something which stopped after I blogged about it at some point but was never remedied in any fashion.
Hi HN,
I built Repibox as a way of improving the user experience when interacting with recipe sites.

I wanted to spend spend less time scrolling and more time cooking. This meant creating a straightforward UX that would let you read recipes in a consistent simple format.

When I started on this journey, I learned many things from friends and family who like to cook, but approach cooking in slightly different ways. For example, I was surprised by the number of people who requested a print icon to print and were unfamiliar with CMD+P or print in the browser menu. Another surprise was a lot of people still wanted to read the main recipe article or comments, so creating a straightforward way to minimize the recipe card modal was essential.

Current features include:

• Pretty formatting of ingredients and instructions
• Easy access to serving size and time estimates
• Print and copy functions
• Share to your device via QR code

cmd+k > copy and paste error message > (few seconds pass) > results appear in slack search

I do this all the time at work. I didn't say that I can expand and read through all the results in a few seconds, that part takes time. But comparing that to something like teams, which would often freeze for me when going back in a convo history, let alone something like asking people individually, slack has been great for finding internal knowledge.
In the US State Department I'm not sure if it's explicitly given as official justification, but it's widely understood as the justification for the entire way things are organized.

I see Apple as an information collection/ delivery/ storage platform. Heck, they've branched out into creating content now with TV+ and to a lesser extent Fitness+ and their Radio offerings.

A car though? How does that mesh/ integrate with my phone/ laptop in such a way where it really makes it a super appealing offering. Apple's satellite devices sell well because they integrate with other Apple devices super well.

Do we care if our car is integrated with our phone? In particular, do we care enough to pay a premium?

EVs are essentially giant batteries, a few motors, and a computer with seats bolted on. Apple is good at computers and maybe batteries. I just don't see how Apple is going to bring together a machine which is appealing enough to really take off.

People's abilities to disregard evidence selectively is more powerful in my opinion than your comment seems to give credit for.

Look into crop circles, if this topic interests you. I think how deeply you look into it will be a reflection of your beliefs - and more than that, of what you want to believe! (Same for each of us, generally speaking!)

Look into Richard Dolan's youtube presentations.

Now I just clued you into two rabbit holes- how deep will you go? See, your beliefs will determine that. Your desires to believe or not believe will determine how much you look.

I was interested, and wanted to believe, so I read 3000+ pages of Dolan's writings and watched 10+ hours of YouTube documentaries. Now I know practically "everything" (as far as I care to) about these topics. But it's because I wanted to know, I wanted to believe.

And how is the written or verbal testimony of hundreds of thousands of witnesses over time not counted as "evidence"?

Changing the minds of skeptics is impossible. People believe what they want to believe, in my opinion.

>Even a half eaten discarded alien candy bar would change the minds of almost any skeptic.

I don't think you've thought this one through fully. So you have this candy bar - what does it look like? Where will you have it analyzed? When you get the analysis back, who are you going to show? People will still be easily able to discount anything short of a direct landing of alien craft or a cyber-weapon that demonstrably altered reality. I'm not even skeptic and I can discount your candy bar in my mind in half a second - it just looks like a normal candy bar. Or just looks like a shiny candy bar. Or maybe its a prank made up by an elaborate joker. etc. etc. etc.
This sounds perfect for space. It's cold in space, power is at a premium, and it can be tough getting rid of heat.

Well if they are not all like that... then why censor a whole network? I guess Parler must not be a private company... all other platforms censor their own way not according to American Law, yet other smaller platforms can't do it their way? Sure, they decided to use AWS, that was dumb in hindsight, but still the scale of it and timing is scary. In other words, you can't be a private business and use AWS, they will own you.
It’s unsustainable to expect package maintainers to create packages and backport security fixes for every piece of software in existence, and big ecosystems like Node.js make this blindingly obvious.

Developers should be able to just ship software directly to users, without package maintainers standing in the middle.

Hopefully Snap or Flatpak solves this!
I'm making a naive guess here. No, superconducting transistors are probably harder to create than non super conducting transistors so the limits on die size from defects are even more pronounced and superconducting doesn't change the speed of light for electrons on the chip so it doesn't change the timing issues arising from large dies.
If you are using something like Netlify, then you would need them to serve your S3 content from their CDN (which I don't think they support). For my specific use case, we host our application on our own domain (on our PaaS), then use a CDN for static assets. If we needed to also serve s3 assets from the same domain then it would mean routing routes in that node application to serve from s3 (effectively a server side proxy).
I see, they started with a very complicated idea, and ended up with something simple that works well enough.

Kind of like my own "make it out of a sheet of metal" idea, and then someone replied they did it with wire... It honestly did not cross my mind at the time, or any time, until I read that today. Weird how brains work :D
the "childless" het couple was a good argument that caused no end of trouble. To be honest it was a darker sign I think, that heterosexual couples themselves had internalized cultural norms and the institution itself was no longer special so much to be worth protecting.

I think there were conservatives who realized this, and this was the reason why "the state should get out of marriage entirely" was pushed as a solution. That too was shot down harshly. At that point I personally gave up I think. It's like abortion...the issue is not "should a woman have a right to it," the issue is that now we live in a society where premarital sex is the norm and abortion is just restoring equity to the new norm.

The real numbers..look, it was literally hilarious to me that the same people who were arguing "marriage was only a piece of paper" in their own lives suddenly turned around and became strict advocates of it in the lives of a small minority of people. If religious people had said "okay, we accept gay people, but they need to follow the same teachings we do-be the husband of one husband, no premarital sex, and no sex outside marriage" everyone here would have railed against marriage as a tool of straight fascism or something.

I'm not meaning the low numbers means its should be revoked though. If anything it's the reverse. We did all that trouble, all that hate and strife...can you all please use it at least? When you fight desperately for the right for something, and in reality barely anyone seems to use it, what was the fighting done for?
Counterpoint: WGU's set your own pace online learning is absolutely fantastic for responsible adults who want to grind out a regionally accredited degree fast and affordably. They built their system remote only from the start.
I don't see an impassible rift. Probably at first, but supercooling something very small is something that could certainly be productized if there is demand for it.

I can see demand in areas like graphics. Imagine real-time raytracing at 8K at 100+ FPS with <10ms latency.
Ask HN: My Visa gift card has a negative balance. How does that happen?
Hoping there are some people out there who have dealt with payment processing systems that might have some insight on this one.

I have a non-reloadable Visa gift card that currently has a negative balance on it.

I had used up almost all the funds on it and had about $2 left. When I went to pay for my $10 lunch I expected that it would get declined or they would say that only $2 was charged and I needed to pay for the other $8 (the latter has happened to me before with the Visa gift cards). However, the payment went through without any problem. I went online to where you can check the balance and sure enough there was a -$8 balance on the card.

Out of curiosity, I went somewhere else and tried to use the card and as expected, it was declined. I went back to the same location that initially accepted the overcharge and the Visa gift card continued to work. The balance after this was even more in the negative range.

I have stopped using the gift card now because this gets into really strange territory, but I had some questions.

Where does the cost of the overcharge on the card end up? In other words, who is responsible for making up the gift card overcharge?

Why/how can this happen? If this is an issue with the place I got lunch not properly authorizing credit cards, should I tell them?
Does "rotated" mean fired? I think they are talking about Chinese nationals reassigned back to China or other non-German countries, right? it might be illegal in Germany, Germany does have very strong labor protections! It's still not clear to me what law would make it illegal.
This week I canceled Dropbox, and on my Windows PC, I moved ~500 GiB from my Dropbox folder over to the Google Drive File Stream volume.

I barely noticed any CPU usage from GDFS, and Dropbox.exe was also somewhat reasonable, but the fans of the MacBook Air next to me started screaming.

There is something wrong with their Mac client, and with GDFS, the old MBA remains quieter, and the battery life improved as well.

There's a 2004 article about this by Joel Spolsky that can be found here[0]. Obviously it is a "tad" out of date (and I don't work on Windows so I can't comment on the situation right now), but it seems that at some point Windows cared deeply about backwards-compatibility.

Borderline personality is the actual diagnosis.

Didn’t think people here would know that one.

Medication she takes is for both.

When it’s bad, she start arguing about something and she will alternate between sweet, full rage, innocent, normal, babyish, nurturing, selfish, vindictive.

The rapid shifts are quite frightening. She would have little memory of mental states.

If implemented using switches based on the Josephson effect like here, then no.

The thickness of the required insulating barrier presents a hard lower limit to the structure size.

The actual value of that limit depends on the material used and the particular implementation of the Josephson junction, of which there seems to be quite a few.

So the limit depends on how thin the barrier can be made.

Wait, are there people reading random blog post about piece of software and deciding it would be a good idea to nag author of the software by retranslating someone other's opinion? Isn't that, how to say, inadequate?
Of course not! I rather consider I'm talking to the parents through their kids.
> Signal could do a lot better in connecting with the community of users who care to connect. Remember that the users have a stake in this, so dismissing their feedback as “this is free, don’t ask for more” is actually condescending. Without users and users who evangelize the product in their circles, no such project can expand or thrive.

> Signal team, you could also practice being nicer and more attentive.

I've been interacting with Signal and observing Signal interacting with people for several years now and I have observed the opposite of what you're saying here. They are nice, they are attentive, and they do a great job of connecting with their community. They don't always do what I ask, and that's OK.

I will be a little provocative even, and say that you're deliberately misrepresenting what has been said in their post (dismissing their feedback as “this is free, don’t ask for more” is actually condescending) - that's bad faith, and maybe their post is aimed at you. It will be beneficial if you attempt to separate the emotion and try rereading what they have said.
It's more likely just a prompt for teaching these concepts.

Like any new solution, you need to understand the full problem. Creating an educational system that works for the 80% isn't good enough. You need to handle special education, special needs. The school system provides free meals to lower income children. It is also the reason that struggling single parents can find time to work... while their kids are in school.

Any solution that only solves education, without also solving the societal gaps the public system fulfills is a non-starter.
I have been using Prowl (https://prowlapp.com) for years now as the generic push notifications app. You pay a $3 one time fee and send notifications via a webhook.
.NET 5 or what's now called .NET is the final result of the .NET Core/dotnet project which is the "open-sourcification" of the .NET ecosystem and the effective replacement of .NET Framework which could not have been made open-source due to licensing.

As for UI, on Windows, all but WinForms/Xamarin Forms use the same "layout language" called XAML - it's just different ways of distribution/platform compatibility tied to more or less different APIs.

For traditional Windows apps, you would be using WPF and that's what a lot of modern Windows apps are built on. That's probably what you want to use and the Windows apps I've made have been a pleasure to work with, especially due to their hot reloading and design tools.

For "Store" apps, you would be using UWP, which are the "modern UI" apps you see when you use Windows 10. These can run on any Windows 10 version and Xbox One+.
You can also make that style of app with WPF by theming it though.

Xamarin is now mostly used for mobile .NET development, but I really can't recommend it nowadays as there's a lot of cruft and documentation, in comparison to the stellar work MS has been doing, is quite lacking. If you need to reuse .NET code in your mobile apps, it's there as a way for you to do that.
