FYI, `height: 15px` is wrong, because it’s not relative to the line-height, which you haven’t specified. Browsers will mostly default to a font-size of 13px for monospaced text (for bad reasons that should be discarded), which yields a line-height that will probably cause little to no clipping of the glyphs; but if you set the default monospace font larger, or have a monospace font with larger normal line-height, you may get clipping. For me with 16px Triplicate T4c as my default monospace font, all descenders are completely cut off.

You’d do better specifying a font-size and line-height, defining height in ems, or both.

I never quite understand things like this and suspect they are political dog and pony shows.

Many people already work 4 and 3 and 2 and 1 day weeks. Many of these people's schedules would not be affected by these laws. The only point of these laws is to see what what happen if you enforced them systemically en masse. If you don't do that, you are exactly where you started which is a few people having this privilege but not everyone.

And most of the potential rewards as well as potential consequences are only going to expose themself when the policy is enacted en masse. Like of course the few people you give the privilege to are going to happy. I don't really think that was up for debate. The question is is what effects will it have on the broader economy and running a trial with .05% of the population tells you nothing about that.

Meanwhile I'm writing this comment on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Apple has serious longevity, but if you're machine is over 5 years old and needs a part, don't count on Apple supplying it. You can still by the charger. Everything else you're pretty much screwed. I'm not complaining though because these are the best, longest-lasting laptops I've ever used. Frankly, I'm more concerned about Apple's software than I am their hardware.

At Brex, we released an experimental dark mode for our dashboard a while ago using these 4 lines of global CSS:

body {
background-color: black;
filter: hue-rotate(180deg) invert(90%);
}

We tweeted a video showing what it looks like here: https://twitter.com/derekstavis/status/1306365758411161605

A lot of customers were asking for it, but we weren't going to be able to implement it properly anytime soon, so this was the hacky compromise we came up with to deliver value as quickly as possible.

This has a bunch of edge cases you'll likely have to deal with case by case by applying the inverse filter `filter: invert(111%) hue-rotate(180deg);` selectively, but for us it actually worked shockingly well for the most part.

I suspect it will work best on the typical app design where most things are different shades of gray, and probably not as well on sites with backgrounds composed of non-gray hues (like right here on hacker news: https://imgur.com/a/jITAn6x) or apps with tons of user-generated videos/images.

If that fits the description of your app, I'd encourage you to give it a try, and maybe even ship it to customers (like we did) if it looks good enough! (I'd personally love to see some screenshots if you decide to do this!)

And of course, we're hiring: https://www.brex.com/careers/ ;)

I've heard your sentiment before so I decided to actually go and check. I don't believe I cherry-picked. I tried to pick a balance between the earliest mention and the largest comment thread (sometime the earliest mention had zero comments).

I know such malcontents exist, I'm not disputing that. I just believe the evidence stands that they are not the majority voice.

Personally I've been using hn hype as a proxy for investment advice for years. Whenever I see a bunch of fanboys pop up, I go off and buy the stock. Whenever they are negative, I consider selling it. I bought things like Tesla and Bitcoin based on hn hype, both in 2011.

This project predates github repos. The README file was renamed from a READ.ME file in the original source distribution. Finding out what a piece of software is worked differently back then. Not sure how though.
It's not always beneficial. If directories contain groups of files with closely related content but different extensions, keeping those groups together may yield better compression results than reordering the files by extension.
While USPS is not subject to "Buy America" requirements, like most quasi-governmental organizations it does have an acquisition policy of purchasing vehicles from US manufacturers rather than overseas when possible. This aligns with the general US system of preferential government purchasing, in which federal purchasing decisions are based partially on policy objectives such as promoting small businesses and US manufacturing. There could be some debate over this policy position, but at its core it could be viewed as a very light extension of New Deal principles---that the federal government should put its money where its mouth is by patronizing the types of US businesses that are the subject of so much political rhetoric.

To my knowledge, there are no right-hand-drive vehicles manufactured in the US, as RHD is limited to countries closer to extensive auto manufacturing in Europe and Asia. As a stopgap measure, the Postal Service has been making use of domestic minivans converted to RHD using a belt arrangement that does not look particularly user friendly. The driver has to lean over to see the dashboard instruments.

Broadly, yes, Go's GC is quite fast and unobtrusive. They've done a good job tuning it for many purposes. On the post's programs though it's quite possible it doesn't come into play at all, as the compiler keeps things on the stack when possible.

But like all GCs, there are cases where it has issues. Anecdotally, I've seen multiple cases where "ballast"[1] reduced RPC response times by around 25%. A bit of GC tuning on some tests sped them up by over 10x (due to pathological thrashing - each test would go from just-below the GC threshold to just-over). Etc. Granted, it's usually on not-great code, but the point still stands - if you care about performance, GC cannot be ignored, regardless of how good its marketing is.

This got me interested in other lisps, as well. Looks like sbcl gives (time (fib 40)) to be about 1.7 seconds on my machine. (Ryzen 5 3600x.)

For lulz, I clocked a dumb loop version.

(defun fib (n)
(loop repeat n
for a = 1 then b
for b = 1 then c
for c = (+ a b)
finally (return a)))

And... well, serves as an amusing reminder that tree recursion has its downsides. :D

Edit: I confess the speed of the loop got me curious and.... javascript has numeric overflow. That would be a hell of a surprise if you weren't expecting it.

Edit2: (I realize overflow isn't the right term, but it is amusing that I can calc the 10000th fib in elisp... not so much in javascript. And yes, even elisp falls over sooner than sbcl does.)
I'd say he has already passed the interview. What else do they need to know?
It can easily be exploited with bots and growth workflows. While that remains, I don't see a lot of demand from advertisers.
The atrocities of the 20th century, which make everything earlier seem like child's play, are a result of secularization. Modern-style racism was invented by Enlightenment thinkers. Eugenics is the result of genetics and Darwin. Dialectical materialism inspired many mass murderers.

Religion reminds people of their fallibility. When you forget your own limitations, you deify yourself, and nothing good comes of that.
That requirement is there for new or ported-in services.

But when you Sim swap, it's tied to the same account. So if you can convince the minimum wage hourly wage contract employee at a franchisee that you're the account holder, no worries.

Worse, most of those stores are using generic accounts and/or passwords.

Telstra years ago had a policy along the lines that store accounts could be not tied to a specific employee, so long as the store manager/team leader rotated the passwords and kept records. in reality it's something stupidly guessable that rotates only when required and all the staff know them.

Optus effectively has the same thing - I had an issue getting a SIM established and sat with an employee for about an hour as they re-rolled the account about 10 times. By the end I knew the passwords for all the accounts in the store, plus other identifiers and numbers.
Right, everyone manages with what we have now so why change anything? I mean who cares if increased visibility reduces the number of pedestrian collisions, who cares if seat designs reduce the number of back injuries. The world is good enough as it is.

There are still televangelists and cable news, so I'm pretty sure that the misinformation that people are so upset about on Facebook are still there on TV, too.
The multi-child family people are already retired, though, and long-retired at that. Them dying out means a shrinking population but also lower pension costs with no lost labor.

The working population has been steady-state at 1-child for 40 years followed by 2-child for the last few years.

I suppose there could be some demand loss due to fewer people demanding things, but.. there's a lot of room for additional demand in China. Plenty of people where running water is a last-20-years nice new thing.
I agree with you that the "networking" aspect of social networks is functioning, but I happen to think it is functioning to make the "social" aspect less pleasant.

> This means the conversation falls back to tribal bickering and shouting

You are right that this will always happen, but I do not think it will be the dominant interaction. One of the reasons this interaction comes up so much is that platforms optimize for it - bickering and shouting is engaging. It gets clicks and eyeballs and shares. Jerry Springer was a popular tv show (and good for that team) but it's wrong to say that we can only make TV like Jerry Springer.

There's a great deal of research in the UX / Social Science world on "affordances" - UI features basically. They're the nouns and verbs that we have in digital spaces. Often the research is very basic but it is out there. I think social media companies could do a lot better with the affordances they give to people. They could be more playful. They could be more free form. They could slow down conversations where people are rapidly tagging each other and sentiment analysis suggests they are fighting. Etc, etc.

The human brain is a very complex thing and one of its primary purposes, as far as we can tell, is to be social - the thing you say isn't a task. I don't believe being social isn't a task. I just think we're very bad at helping our brains be social (a thing they evolved to do for millions of years) in a medium we just invented maybe fifty years ago. We can get better, but only if we try.

No I'm not but I'm not surprised you won't admit it (maybe even to yourself). That you carry a gun just like someone might carry a set of paintbrushes because they might just need them some day on the road is hilarious. Of course it is fear. Okay you are correct, there's another option: that you have a hard on that you might some day get to use it. So three types: those that are afraid, those that think it makes them cool and those that want to use it.

> However it does boost efficiency considerably in the USA's vast expanse of suburbia.

Also it sounds like the new trucks have pretty stringent visibility requirements, which would help avoid running over playing children in a suburban setting. I can see that as a pretty serious risk for the USPS, given how frequently they stop for a few minutes. An off-the-shelf van without the unusually shaped front probably has more blind spots a kid could sneak into.
In the sticks they frequently outsource to authorized personally owned vehicles. Those are common all throughout Appalachia for example. They call them rural carrier associates. Here is the pitch:

"As a Postal Service™ Rural Carrier Associate (RCA), you will have a continuous, part-time job with a reliable employer. If you are retired, self-employed, an at-home parent, an educator, night student, or are employed on an evening shift schedule, this on-call position could be the ideal job for you.RCAs are responsible for the safe and efficient delivery and collection of the U.S. Mail™, working part time when regular carriers have scheduled days off or take vacation days. RCAs also sell stamps, supplies, and money orders. RCAs perform a vital function in the Postal Service, serving thousands of families and businesses in rural and suburban areas while traveling millions of miles daily. The work can be demanding—but also rewarding."

And a note about the vehicles:

"Generally, RCAs are required to use their own vehicles for mail delivery, and they receive an equipment allowance in addition to regular pay. The vehicle needs to be insured, dependable, and in good working condition. Vehicles with bucket seats or standard transmission are not recommended. Some offices may provide a Postal Service vehicle."
How does this has anything to do with centralization? These recent GitHub outage largely linked with Azure outages, it is either they are migrating to Azure or the migration caused Azure outages
I disagree. They ignored the issue for years and that part won’t be erased from memory. They should be given credit for finally fixing it, but nothing more. What happened before this week was and remains forever shameful.
I mean, we used to make cars work without seatbelts, so why did we ever add them?
Sorry, I should've been more specific/accurate. I meant brokerages, like Fidelity, Etrade, Schwab -- where you're likely to have more funds/$ than a regular consumer bank. They do offer it. Even Amazon offers it.

And you are right, I have not seen any of the banks I use convert to authenticator (BofA, Chase, etc).

I can only guess that they think it's too difficult for the average consumer to understand or implement. But the fact that they don't even offer as an option is unfortunate.

edit: actually I correct myself, seems like BofA may actually offer something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bankofamer...

The URL is giving an empty page for me, so I'm afraid I can't really comment on the content of the article itself.

With that said, people should fear any site/service that uses SMS for anything security related. SMS 2fa is a fairly common vector for compromise.

It can be nice for a "data feed" though. Like, getting an update on the status of your delivery driver. Though, this can also be really annoying when say... your old college starts spamming you with stuff... which I got to experience this weekend at 1am. :)

how does mmv do interactive renaming? i personally like the approach by qmv, which loads the filenames into a text editor where you can interactively change the names. combined with a powerful search and replace that's quite efficient and it allows you to preview the results because the actual renaming is not done until you exit the editor.
Saying something is illegal and expecting everyone to follow the law is just pinky-swearing.

However, I've done mushrooms quite a lot. I've had a couple bad trips where I've lost my sense of self, all memories, massive confusion. I've also had bad trips on alcohol. I think with mushrooms, there are rarely really bad trips, usually just challenging ones. I think the benefits outweigh the cons, but for sure we should study them.

Tell them you have no phone. It seems to disarm people. You're not telling that you refuse their request, and getting into a power struggle. Then ask them if that means you can't get a vaccination or whatever. This has worked every time so far for me.

It doesn't get easier. It probably would if more of us did it, though.

Have you ever waded into the comments section of posts on the front page of /r/all? Not only will you find plenty of bullying, you'll also find plenty of misinformation, but not the kind that's had the conspiracy theory label attached so it evades our awareness. This is one thing that I never see mentioned in articles like this: the degree to which social media shapes non-conspiracy-theorist's perception of reality. It is right there in front of our noses, but so hard to see.
He does indeed mention that. However, as he is not Google, I'm not sure how he could possibly know that.
Where I grew up, the rural mail carriers drove their own vehicles. Ours drove his (Subaru wagon I think) from the middle of the bench seat - gas and brake with the left foot.

Some others in the area imported RHD vehicles.

Have you tried Fedora Silverblue? It uses OSTree technology to offer many of the features of Ubuntu Core including automatic updating, upgrades that work regardless of power loss, Flatpak confinement for all apps (without any arbitrary restrictions like Snaps), and it's free.

"Silverblue is a variant of Fedora Workstation. It looks, feels and behaves like a regular desktop operating system, and the experience is similar to what you find with using a standard Fedora Workstation.

However, unlike other operating systems, Silverblue is immutable. This means that every installation is identical to every other installation of the same version. The operating system that is on disk is exactly the same from one machine to the next, and it never changes as it is used.

Silverblue’s immutable design is intended to make it more stable, less prone to bugs, and easier to test and develop. Finally, Silverblue’s immutable design also makes it an excellent platform for containerized applications as well as container-based software development. In each case, applications (apps) and containers are kept separate from the host system, improving stability and reliability.

Silverblue’s core technologies have some other helpful features. OS updates are fast and there’s no waiting around for them to install: just reboot as normal to start using the next version. With Silverblue, it is also possible to roll back to the previous version of the operating system, if something goes wrong."

The cause doesn’t actually matter much, usually one doesn’t know the issue until they investigate. So often issues remain open for lack of interest, then someone finally does and it’s a missing comma. This doesn’t affect the fact that the issue has been ignored.

I’m sure GTA has unlimited bugs to look into, but a bug that turns people away before they even start should have probably been given higher priority.
