What viewport width are you providing in that case?
And yet quotes don't wrap to any specific size, so you end up with an awful horizontal scroll bar.

There is no way to format your text, even stuff that's available since MS Word 1.0, such as bold or italic. Even science papers have formatting so I don't buy the "overuse of styles" BS.

There is no way to have avatars or some other ways to distinguish users (or mods!) to make this place feel more like a community in real life. I've gotten used to it but it still sucks.

The contrast is super low.

HN is an MVP for a super minimalist forum that wouldn't fly for any other kind of community except for the intersection between hackers and wannabe entrepreneurs.
Quoting:

"A coffee cup and a doughnut are homeomorphic because a coffee cup can be stretched into a doughnut. A doughnut cannot be a sphere because a sphere does not have any holes. Cutting is not allowed in topology but Homer finds a workaround by biting the doughnut, because if you bite the top off of an A and eat it, then the top no longer exists. Homer makes the doughnut and the sphere homeomorphic. And maybe that’s why he’s also called Homer."
From a world history perspective, touche, but from an American history perspective he almost certainly still is.
Oh yeah. Read that one thirty years back.
The bet was over a fixed term and has expired, so there is no way for the assessment to be premature as it relates to the bet.

I have to confess that I have never been so optimistic as I am now about global interest in addressing climate change, there is going to be a lot of pain but we have the technology to make a lot of progress. I think that once people get a taste of the benefits of electrification in particular momentum will build quickly.
Calamares CI Infrastructure
Getting in-house IT to host a machine in their(our?) on-site data center would cost my department a lot more than 72eur/month, and that is before I pay for the hardware.
I use grim with sway / wayland and it works great, much better than scrot on X (which always leaves strange visual artifacts on the image when using rectangular selection).

Here's my key binding config from sway:

bindsym print exec filename=$(date +'screenshot-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.png') && swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -r '.. | (.nodes? // empty)[] | select(.pid and .visible) | .rect | "\(.x),\(.y) \(.width)x\(.height)"' | slurp | grim -g - /tmp/$filename && notify-send "Screenshot captured" "/tmp/$filename"
I wonder how many hands were used to make this shoe.
This is awesome, thank you. Hybrid FPGAs are the future and how we will create a parallel Internet, or what I call the Solar Bitcoin Radio 2050.

If you’re into hardware, please consider the applications that FPGAs could help make transformative.

If any hardware hackers are out there, please contact me at satoshi@137.lol. To clarify, I’m obviously not Satoshi Nakamoto but I know who she is.
I wonder how much the heterologous approach (different viral vectors for first and second doses) contributed to its high efficiency compared to a similar Astra Zeneca vaccine. Conversely, why did Astra Zeneca opted not to do it this way.
>Because unless it was "can drop quarter of a million dollars or more" rich, then no, in the US he would've just been sent home to die.

Not trying to be argumentative, but what is this based on? I’ve known people who received major heart surgeries without insurance and certainly didn’t have that kind of money.

Another at least semi-audiophile reviewer said similar things, and also had inexplicable quality issues: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ReuDIYYk3fk

My Hifiman HE-560s, which are non-Bluetooth, open-backed monitors with notoriously heavy planar magnetic drivers, weigh 10g less than these.

I'm sure they sound really good, but there are plenty of good-sounding Bluetooth headsets at much lower costs. Or, for $900 CAD, there are plenty of truly fantastic audiophile headphone/dac/amp combos that'd probably blow these out of the water.
I can read long lines just fine, and I like that the full width of the viewport is used.

Because HN is designed so simply, you can trivially get the layout you want (half width lines) and I can also get the layout I want.

If HN instead tried to artificially limit the viewport in code (which is something lots of web developers do), they would break all sorts of other use cases for no reason. That's what I mean when I say websites tend to overcomplicate their design.
I would ask GPT-3: "How will the world end?"
The A.V. Club took flak for turning all their lists into slide-shows on desktop. Their response was to tell people to adjust their browser width to force the mobile view. When you load a page, it preloads the assets for both views and switches based solely on window width. If you play an embedded youtube video and try and toggle full screen mode, the site reverts back to slide-show and breaks the video.

Is there anything that makes the following sequence of events unlikely?

1. google.com.au redirects to google.com

2. google.com stops indexing australian content

3. australians barely notice, except perhaps for the latency

4. australian content creators collapse

> DBus, which is horrendous [from] statically typed languages

Could you explain this? In my experience DBus provides you with a schema, the exposed DBus interface describes the callable methods, their arguments and types, readable properties, and signals.

Just like with SQL it's useful to create a layer that takes advantage of the statically typed powers of the language.

Usually there are tools that use introspection (or the XML introspection data) to generate "types" (ie. this layer).

> The same is true for moving away from win32 GUI API. How many times has Microsoft tried?

I'm not very familiar with this example, but experience from proprietary systems rarely applies to FOSS because the way free software is developed is so different. Furthermore, Qt and GTK apps work out of the box with both wayland and X. The same applies to many other toolkits and libraries.

> I have experimented with wayland and considered submitting patches for various 30-bit color issues, but the community is so catty. Everything is met with snark.

What part of the ecosystem did you attempt to contribute to? I got a couple of patches merged into Sway and some of its utilities and the community always felt rather welcoming.

Great example of the power of auctions! It's amazing to see the Vickrey Auction come off the blackboard and enable an indie creator to connect with their community sustainably. Markets really are all about moving information so we can coordinate activity.

Wouldn't it be awesome for Kickstarter / Patreon to add this as a feature?
That's why i like to keep an 19" TFT screen as a third display on my desk, most websites render perfectly on it and i can always have a browser in the foreground.
The Invention of the Ski Chairlift
It's really a shame how that happens, it is pretty much a universal problem. I have seen people get into physical fights and shouting matches IRL charitable organizations where everyone is volunteering their time.

The OP's feelings are probably justified and I can empathize with them but the rant was still jarring and probably won't have any impact on the haters but will affect others.

Just my thoughts, maybe I'm virtue signaling a bit too much.
So you’re saying “professional == follows modern design fads” as a proxy for how legitimate a site is. And maybe you’re right that is a somewhat useful (if unreliable) proxy for legitimateness, but it’s not an argument that it’s good design.
My Sennheiser HD580s from 1999 are still in use!
the author must be aware that his use case (vertically oriented monitor) is such an obscure demographic, that almost no company will invest in time to optimize this experience. His complaining about this situation is pure self-centered arrogance.

There is effectively zero benefit of optimizing for this use case.
What exactly is the argument for using the Pale Moon browser? I am genuinely interested since I see it floating around here and there but even when reading the descriptions on the website I have a hard time understanding what really distuingishes it from other browsers in a good way, especially Firefox.
I read your HN comment, and largely agree with the categorizations therein, but I fail to see what that has to do with the claimed "liberal fantasy bubble" in regards to the parent.
They're at one of the biggest attractions in the capital city of a country. It's not exactly a stretch to think someone would capture this in the background.
EZ Travel – Brazilian platform to online booking of tours
I would assume that if you wear two masks, and the lower mask doesn't fit properly, you make things worse. Air will take the path of least resistance, and the more resistance there is in the filtering layers, the more air will leave using other ways.
> Otherwise you're testing the manufacturer's tuning as much as the actual quality of the hardware.

Shouldn't you test the how Apple tuned the Airpods max, since you can't change it's EQ?
Thanks (I'm the founder of Etebase)!

Let me know if you have any questions, my email is tom @ the domain.
No. But you should be wearing a proper, non-valved mask.
Yeah, I think the crux is the conflation of "assumption" with "faith". We assume the speed of light in a vacuum is uniform across all of space and that is how we can estimate how far away stars are in "light-years". But that doesn't make it faith; nobody is opposed to revising that assumption when better evidence comes in.

Biblical faith is specifically "the evidence of things not seen", so it's fundamentally different than an assumption.
~300mm fabric masks per day in landfills? That sounds super eco-friendly.
I'm sure I've read this elsewhere and didn't come up with the distinction on my own, but my thoughts on this are:

Theism and atheism refer to a belief or lack of belief in the existence of god(s).

Gnosticism and agnosticism refer to a (claim of) knowledge of the existence of god(s).

I'd consider myself an atheist because I don't personally believe there are gods, but I'm also agnostic regarding the possibility.

I don't have enough info to rule out the possibility of a deity or deities, but I don't have any reason to believe there are any (or at the very least, not any that have a direct and personal interaction with humanity).
What's important is hospitalization and death. Ideally you want the vaccine to protect you against infection, but where we are today, having a vaccine with "only" 66% efficiency against infection but that protects you with > 85% from severe reaction is very promising. I'd take the J&J one shot vaccine in a heartbeat.
Yeah, he's probably paid around 140k. (Given his age [0], and knowing that first year scientists at similar places start at GS-13, I'm going to guess he's at a GS-14 equivalent with DC area locality pay.)

This, plus your internal grant money not only covers your salary but overhead, means a 140k person costs 300k or more.

Federal scientists are typically paid through a few projects that total to 100%, so I doubt all of the 462k from the article went to paying him, but probably a large chunk of that did.

Biotx.ai announces discovery of Covid treatment using revolutionary genetic AI
Without getting into GME, that's largely a fair assessment. I don't think that contradicts the author, though; when Americans say "progressive", they typically mean something like "aligned with the trends and preferences of people within the Democratic Party". Nobody would call e.g. Joe Biden "very conservative", despite his interest in preserving (and presence at the top of) existing power structures.
The hospitals have been doing this from the beginning. There must be some truth to it. I think it's simple probability. A n95 mask lets in 5% of particles getting though. Layering two masks should effectually make a n99 mask ((1/20) * (1/20)) = 0.9975 The added mask only adds n4.9. It's probably a more effective use for second mask to go to someone who has a surgical mask.

Let's do the math for surgical masks which are like n20. Adding two n20's gives you a n40, which is marginally better than the n95 double masks.

Let me vent by saying I was on the pro-mask side when the CDC and WHO were against them, I made a website that went viral and got 7 million view letting people know your government officials were wrong. I had my account banned from Reddit and Facebook over being pro-mask. I even got contacted by the CDC to think about taking down the site. I told them to fuck off. When this pandemic is over and we can do a post-mortem on the pandemic the CDC and WHO will have blood on their hands for the poor messaging around masks.

I for one have been double masking n95's for a while.
An agnostic neither affirms nor denies the existence of God. But atheist affirms with certainty the non-existence of God.

In my estimation, the critique of the book did a good job of showing that Boghossian could do with Boghossian's advice: “You need to become comfortable in not knowing and not pretending to know . . . “

Boghossian hasn't sufficiently proven there is no God...
Anyone interested in a comparable organisation in their country might like to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Consumer_Researc...

Obviously I can't vouch for the reliability of these organisations, but it may provide a starting point.
Please note, i am not claiming certainty and there are studies that point against the hygiene hypothesis. I am just stating that there is a growing body of evidence for the links between household cleanliness (and use of certain household cleaning products) and microbiome disruption. And links between microbiome disruption and prevalence of disease. For the American obsession with cleanliness in the 1950's, two things: autoimmune is hard to diagnose and many suffered in silence for decades AND cleaning up a lot is distinctly different from the proliferation of chemically based cleaning products many of which containing anti bacterial ingredients. Many look at the trend of autoimmune rise starting in the 70's and 80's. Let's say you're right about the 50's cleanliness, the children born then might not have been diagnosed, the cleanliness trend started then but built up to have large effect over 20-30 years, and/or it took time for chemicals to proliferate into household daily cleaning.

I am NOT a tin foil hat wearer. I have an autoimmune disease and have researched the topic a lot. I am claiming NO certainty, just that the immune system is woefully insufficiently understood and that links with growing evidence should NOT be ignored.

The text of the bill here: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml...

The stated reason for this bill is a bald-faced lie. The bear population in CA has been exploding. A good overview of the bill here: https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/hunting/california-black-b...

Even more galling, is that this is being sponsored by the humane society, who's goal is to end hunting of all types, a little bit at a time. They've sponsored legislation in all states and at the federal level. They should lose their non-profit status.

EDIT: Disclaimer, I'm from WI, not CA.

Sorry, I didn't meant to imply all KN95 are bad. I only mean the specification means very little in north america and of all the KN95 masks I have tried they have too high of a pressure drop across the actual filter to do filtering. When I use medical tape to seal them to my face they puff out and suck in dramatically. A low pressure drop N95 mask, when sealed with medical tape will barely move. You can even feel drafts from air conditioning through it.

What I am saying is that KN95 types in the USA are of such variably quality they are not a good choice. Use local standards and brands.
This was tried in the mid-late oughts was it not? It is nearly impossible to logically derive what should increase in sized and what should not.

Should the space given to sidebars increase? Should those sidebars disappear? What about headers and footers? How will the overfloat be treated? A single line, double lines? What about captions underneath images? How do you handle text that happens to be embedded within images themselves, or even on top of images?

"I don't care if headers look weird"

It goes beyond things looking weird, it really does break websites.
I know several virulent anti-maskers and telling them to wear 2-3 masks will just make them dig their heels in further. They’re literally laughing out loud at all these articles now.
I mean, on one hand I agree with you (I found it pretty easy to not use Google Search). But I think my point is that if this was true for everyone, then we would not really be newsworthy that the PM thinks people can use Bing instead....

One technical aspect to consider is the number of devices/applications where Google is the default search. Does Australia have a plan to force a different default if Google shuts off Search? How would that affect contracts that Google has with other companies (e.g. Apple) to make its Search default?

Not everyone is technically literate enough to know how to change their browser's default search engine. Heck, some people don't know there are other ways to search the internet besides google.com....
There are very few countries with good social security nets and strong public healthcare and very low worker protections.

Conversely low worker protections correlate strongly with the absence of the above.

Why do you think that is?
> it makes a pretty bold claim (i.e. that a human physically came back from the dead) which, if true, is remarkable regardless of faith tradition

It is not terribly uncommon for humans who were thought to be dead to later exhibit signs of life. This occasionally happens even today. In the 19th century some people were so afraid of being buried alive that they had alarm systems installed in their tombs. Two thousand years ago when medical knowledge was much less advanced such events were probably even more common.

> Interestingly, there are accounts of Jesus' miracles from non-believers as well, who generally believed they were Egyptian magic due to Jesus having spent his early years in Egypt, which has long had a reputation as a land of magic.

To what accounts are you referring ? To my knowledge the only approximately contemporary mention of Jesus in a non-christian text is a passage from Josephus, the authenticity of which is highly contested among historians. That passage notes that Jesus performed "surprising deeds" but makes no mention of Egyptian magic. I would also note that there are numerous claims throughout history of miracle workers from many different religious traditions.
> that lack of belief in something

But isn't that more agnosticism that atheism?
I feel there's also an element of the divide of power between both parties being greater too. For example, the police force - which generally supports the status quo of the powerful - is far more able to control and suppress uprisings than in the past. This lends itself to providing a higher barrier to the poor pushing back, and thus necessitates those drivers (such as blatantly separate outcomes before the law, higher wealth inequality, etc.) to become stronger than in the past before conflict eventuates.

I mean it sort of relates to the 2nd amendment idea that private citizens at home with firearms can overthrow a tyrannical government if need be. When it was minutemen vs foot soldiers that was a drastically different equation to now when it's AR-15s vs a military-industrial apparatus with drone strikes, tanks and automated mass surveillance.
Are these budgets available online, or at least at the ask to the public? Since they're not paying taxes, I think they should be. If not, then who exactly is it transparent to?

The church across the street from my house is large and I'm sure heating and upkeep is no small chunk of change. A good portion of the cars parked in the reserved row (staff) are nicer than mine, so I'm guessing the salary isn't necessarily "modest".
A lifetime is maybe a fantasy but both my shure se215 and dt770 are 6 or 7 years old and I expect them to last a while given they're in perfect working order after daily use for so long.

I highly doubt these new headphones with non user replaceable batteries would survive 2 years of daily usage, that would be 2+ full cycles per day for the airpods, seeing how tiny the batteries are I don't think they'd perform very good after even a year
Go has a different calling convention and stack layout from C, and wanted completely static binaries which you cannot always get when linking to the standard libc implementations. What is "bullshit" about these compatibility concerns? It's not like

I have been asking this the last week, only to receive downvotes and no proper answers: Why EU/UK/USA did not even consider the Russian and Chinese vaccines?

I'm sorry for asking it, I get that you don't like the question but I feel like it is a fair question. I'm not deleting this.

Check out your sister's comment's comments for some examples.
I've posted before on the weird relationship between neoliberal Democrats and big tech (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25846361). To make things short, the biggest flaw in his take was that things were not always like this, there was a time when the Democratic establishment were absolutely having a blatant love affair with SV tech (Remember Obama's campaign and how liberal media applauded his "progressive" use of Facebook and data analysis?). You have to look at the reasons why that relationship changed, and then everything becomes incredibly straightforward.
