I love a good CSS-only solution because of its statelessness; makes things much easier to reason about IMO. Of course in this case you'll probably have to generate your HTML in some procedural way anyway, but it's still a neat option to have, especially if you're statically-rendering your pages (you can avoid using JS entirely)
I don't know about that. Dmitri Sotnikov, joint author of "Web Development With Clojure", worked on a similar app and didn't even need types or OOP let alone a monster like Spring.
Then again, this photo mosaic spans just one arm of one galaxy in the visible universe.

I do that as well.

If it's true or not, I don't know. But my impression from using both platforms daily is that iOS paid apps are higher quality, in both design/looks and performance.
Shouldnt consider any of it seriously - it is all LARP all the way down...
I actually thought you meant people like the comment you're responding to, but then I realized you also appear to be arguing in bad faith.

"Master of <subject_matter>" is pretty clear in that a person has mastered a trade or an area of study! No one confuses that with the idea of "Master/Slave" or "Master Branch" which implies a hierarchy that reminds some people of slavery, particularly the slavery that was practiced in the US.

There's an obvious contextual difference, and it's not some political conspiracy from an imagined "leftist elites" that I assume you think are coming for you. Conspiracy theories are unhealthy and I personally think you should let this one go.
Right, Peter Singer is good on this topic.

There's no sense in assigning value to life as a step function, where one nanosecond before it it's categorically not human and therefore disposable, yet one nanosecond afterwards it's a human and therefore killing it is immoral.

It may make practical sense to define laws that pretend that it's a step function, but it makes no moral reasoning sense.

I lean more towards the "early fetus is valuable" side of things, since I view future human life that hasn't been experienced yet as valuable. This is, after all, the main reason we care about rather nebulous existential risks - it'd be a shame if future humans never got the chance to exist. We therefore recognize that future human life has some value. Also, I'm well aware of the reductio ad absurdum that can be levied against my position, but I believe that that runs both ways.
Are you bringing the PinDuoDuo experience to the US?
That's honestly a heart wrenching story. Your bravery to write it as straight as you have is testament to you. You obviously cared a lot about the film and the people you worked with. That will go with you.
You beat me by 24 minutes. Came here to say how amazing this would be for our Blazor UIs.

I really like the idea of applying a simple css style sheet and using my existing @foreach directives to build charts that look this good.

I had to double check the installation instructions 2x, because I was certain there was some javascript piece I had missed.
You don’t need any kind of tracking for App Store ads, because the App Store is already aware of all your purchasing history. Same thing for any storefront: Amazon’s stats based on your history won’t be affected either.
You also need to read about failure to account for survivorship bias.

Eg, did some entity fail even though they were doing the same things as the successful entities?

If you detect that, then it's evidence that the techniques of the successful entities are no guarantee of success. That some other technique or factor or luck was the actual differentiator.

That's useful information when you're trying to decide what techniques of successful entities may be worth repurposing to your situation or not.
But if this isn't in the same league, is it really an alternative?
I already have everything in the Universe outside your lightcone as my personal Versailles most remote wings, and you can't prove otherwise. My robots are on their way back and information about them will arrive with you approximately a second after you die, whenever that is.

See what a pointless status grab it is? If it's outside all possible knowledge, it may as well be lies (it's not though). You can play Elite: Dangerous if you want a galaxy full of combat, and it's happening right now and better than the rest of the Milky Way there are actual players and ships and things and not silent void. The main lesson I took away from Elite Dangerous is that the Galactic PowerPlay between all the major factions can never end. If it ends, if one side can dominate and win, there is no way for another faction to recover from that without a reset and restart, like all games - play, end, restart.

> "Endless hedonism is boring until there is competition"

Competition doesn't need ever increasing resource use and hedonism, it's not the resource use which captivates people (but it can make a spectacle); competition is fine with animals running, with kickball, with Chess - 32 pieces on 64 squares creates world champions, millionaires, tournaments, audiences, lifelong obsessed people, gambling opportunities, it doesn't need galaxy spanning resource use. The thing about competition is that you can't be Usain Bolt or Magnus Carlsen or John Carmack just by throwing more resources at it. At the point where you can say "I have a Versailles on every planet in the Milky Way" and someone else says "so what, everyone has", there's no competition there. If you claim you can win the Tour de France on a bike in a small region of Earth, people will sit up and take notice.
I'm pretty stupid so I think that the most complex thing I understand is that spacetime is something with a "shape" and that it deforms in presence of matter. It blows my mind thinking about it.
Is there any info on the level of DRM support? Widevine has multiple levels which means watching Netflix, Hulu, etc on a PC with Chrome will limit your video to 480p or 720p. In some cases, Edge will increase the video resolution to 1080p. I haven't found a way to legally access 4k video on a PC.

I'm guessing the same limits apply on the RPi.

You can test this by going to a video page like https://www.netflix.com/watch/80018585 and typing `document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].videoHeight` to see the size of the actual video stream.
Failure in Academia
Yes—the wealthy sympathetic parent. This is always left out of the speeches.

It’s not a hard equation. The wealthy can afford to take risks. They want their kids to succeed. Can take care of that marginal DUI. I could fill up a page of entitlements?

They know important people, or have the money, to influence important people. They can get their kids out of trouble. Can pay for schooling. Can risk money on multiple business/career ideas.

I grew up with Gavin Newsom. Went to the same high school. He was voted “Most Fashionable”. If this guy didn’t have that powerful, wealthy family, there is no way he would be where he is now. His younger year screwups, and learning difficulties, would have hobbled most of us for life. (I like Gavin. I think he’s a good guy. I’m just using him as an example. Marin County has many fine examples of wealthy kids getting ahead, but figured most of you wouldn’t know them.)

I grew up in a wealthy enclave, and pretty much every successful kid had a wealthy encouraging parent. A few middle class kids came out as good financially as dad if they went into his line of business, and didn’t work at screwing it up when “finding themself” in their 20-30’s.

A few low income kids succeeded if they finished college, and got a professional degree.

(I don’t equate success with money, or career. Some of the worst people I know are considered successful.)
" While the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, productivity — measured by sales per employee — went up by almost 40% compared to the same period the previous year"

Is sales per employee really an appropriate proxy for 'productivity'? The original report is entirely in Japanese, so I'm not really sure exactly how they are calculating productivity... is this a sales office?

We are eliminating gender from our colloquial terms for the same reason. Serviceperson instead of serviceman; mail carrier instead of mailman, police officer instead of policeman. This is the same thing- just eliminating a term which injuries a different minority along a different identity axis.
Technically it is, as you can keep expanding your own storage. Compared to a cloud storage service that has hard limits on space usage.
Then systems theory and complexity science are things to check out, they're really cool. I won't insult you by linking to a wikipedia article.

IMHO complexity boils down to the number of connections in an objects internal parts. But, like most complex things there's lots of discussion.

Those two different models you proposed to understand music are two different objects hence two different conceptualizations of the same phenomenon, two different perspectives.

So, the old "If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." and "There's more than one way to skin a cat." kinda things.
This is also incorrect. "Prevention of disease" and "prevention of infection" are two related but clinically-distinct objectives for these vaccines. So far, early clinical trials were generally testing the first objective, and less so the second. It is thus not "marketing speak", but precise language about what was actually tested.
This is absolutely practical. Especially with pages with a large number of chart elements. Using larger libs for parklines is impractical. I can totally seeing this being able to extent to the type of chart you would typically put in a PowerPoint.. And how practical is that. Sure not full js charts like amcharts and co, but libs like that ships with 90% of code which 90% of users do not use (sure I’m exaggerating here).
It's not a service, because it's not something I can elect to purchase or not purchase. I have to pay this royalty to be allowed to participate here. That is a tax. If this were an add-on service that Apple/Google offered as an add on, then it would no longer be a tax. And the dynamics you refer to might kick in then.
CSS can certainly be responsive to a degree, if written to be, but there are definitely some features of SVG that go beyond CSS capabilities. This has more to do with the fact that it’s a graphics format—designed for adaptable scaling from the start, with a simple layout model—than anything else. And of course, CSS has some advantages of its own because it has such a huge range of layout options/techniques.

Edit: I also maintain my resume as responsive HTML. I haven’t taken the time to address print at all, but having previewed my own print rendering it definitely needs a lot of work before it’s print/PDF ready.
AFAIK level 3 doesn’t need hardware support. It is always available in a compatible software player (e.g. official Chrome build).
Seems to me that the mere existence of the slider would force people to share less misinformation, regardless of whether they seriously consider the rating they give or just ignore the slider altogether the second time they see it. In the language of the article, it would work by priming people to be more aware of accuracy.
Do you have to hand over your whole privacy to google and agree to them collecting data from your grandchildren when installing?

On a serious note I thought Widevine was closed sourced and only licensed in some way, how has it made its way to Raspberry Pi OS without any consents and such? Is it libre? Or is this the new direction of the raspberry foundation to cooperate with big corps? Like when they included the Microsoft apt repository so that people can install vscode in 1 command instead of 4.

only if you have clout. And never back down. So, you're right some [!] conservatives can say whatever they want and don't have to fret.
I'm in the US and have a loved one with a chronic disease, and honestly just the logistics of health care couldn't get much worse. Coordinating between different specialists, different labs, and different pharmacies is always a nightmare. Calls, manual entry, etc.

Just last week I had to deal with offices _faxing_ each other back and forth with one insisting they sent it and the other insisting they never received it. I constantly have to be the one making an active effort to keep on top of things or suddenly I find it's going to take me a week to get a medicine that I have only 5 days left on

If amazon does nothing else but makes making an appointment as easy as ordering a tube of toothpaste, I'll celebrate.
No, it would not be reasonable if certain participants in that market have a large amount of market power.

That is how things like anti-trust law work.
There’s a huge gulf between admitting you don’t know something, and being proud of it.

Suggesting it was ever, or should be, somehow “shameful” to admit not knowing something, is an enemy of change and growth, and in everyday life becomes a recipe for perpetuating structural in-groups and all the systemic pathologies that go along with them.

I am also grumpy old fart but I was raised in an engineering culture that was not afraid to ask “what’s a spline?”, and I don’t regret it.
"Banvard's Folly"[1] is a good read about "people who were ignored by the world, whose ideas came before their time, whose great work was left in ruins".

It's definitely interesting to see their progress. They are fairly rapidly catching up to the minimum performance needed to run most typical users apps.

What about this? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21201-8

I think "climate change" is potentially an important confounding variable here.

Also I thought "animals" would link to a source but it just searches their site for the word "animals".

I am biased but FreBSD is very well supported on NVIDIA, so I wouldn't let it hold you back from trying it out. I think you could load NomadBSD on a usb and have NVIDIA drivers set up without any real trouble.
You could also use wireguard for this sort of thing and keep everything on a VPN.
Language is an entirely human creation with "standards" and definitions that have been changing constantly since humans began creating it. With the internet the english dictionary has been growing at an almost exponential rate.

Not knowing how language works and being mad that it changes LIKE IT'S ALWAYS DONE is absolute insanity. Not being able to handle change is a common problem for a lot of humans, but it doesn't mean the change is at fault, it's your ability to cope with differences as they emerge.

You still haven't given a specific example of how SVG can be responsive. Are you just talking about proportional scaling (resizing the shapes as the container's size changes)? Because if so you can accomplish that in CSS by using percentages for size/position
I've recently been using Python3 + argparse for small single file utilities. Used to use bash but have probably converted now with how easy calling external programs is (compared to something like Go)

I'd have a hard time selecting LISP for anything others would use (which is almost all the software I write) unless I worked in a company that was using LISP regularly.

I think speaking for the oppressed is better than actively oppressing people though. While there is always more that could be done, hanging out a BLM banner is better than...supporting suppression of black voter rights. Though I understand some people use signaling -in place- of action, which is neutral at best, it's better than active oppression.
I was thinking of it more in ways businesses fails given we're on HN and that's a bit more narrow than the "in life" version of the article so that it's more useful.

However that's a really great point that in the context of a specific engineering application failure can be enumerated to the point where such study of failure is incredibly powerful. Thanks for pointing that out.

They did not issue a retraction. They issued a correction. The precise language of the call is different, but the core of the reporting is unchanged.

The precise differences are that, what was quoted as "find the fraud" was actually find "dishonesty", and you'll "a national hero" was actually that you have "the most important job in the country right now". This doesn't change the overall story: Trump attempted to reach out to GA election officials and push them to overturn election results.

> But the harm was already done, the misinformation was already used, and the false quote can be seen on page 10 of this:

None of the citations on page 10 reference this reporting or any of the quotes attributed to Trump on this call.
Me too. But that never drove me away from Linux. I just started embracing two specific things:

* Sane defaults.

* Slow moving software that's focused on not changing things constantly (for better or worse).

I.e. Debian Stable :-)

I still don't understand how people who primarily code or wrangle data can possibly prefer Mac or Windows. I'm too old for stuff changing under my feet, but at least on sane Linux distros I have some power in my hands when this happens.
> Why are you making a big deal out of it, then?

Achieves nothing; breaks build scripts; imposed by faceless outsiders who have no interaction with the project.
By using very low ISOs. You want to use the lowest ISO possible because the lower the ISO the less noise in the picture, and noise in the night sky can be very noticeable since you are photographing a ton of tiny dots against a black background.
Who cares? We abort babies for no reason at all today if they are in a woman. We should be able to do the same if they are not in a woman.
The article explicitly says it doesn't use a magnetron, but rather "precise solid-state microwave generators... which can be tuned specifically to heat water and better targeted [sic] than the magnetrons used in microwave ovens".

(I'd have thought magnetrons counted as "solid state" too, as they have no moving parts, but still - they're very clear that's not what this is)
I never played this Indiana Jones game, or have much memory of other EGA games that I can think of, and to me, 90% of the VGA screenshots in this article look better than the EGA ones.

To me, the limited color palette doesn't strike me as a differently meaningful sort of limitation than, say, the appearance of Mario 64 vs Mario Galaxy.

The imagination always fills in the gap - I don't remember KOTOR looking worse than Mass Effect looking worse than Mass Effect Andromeda, say, but if I go back and look at them, they definitely were more limited - but if you don't have the memory of just how much your imagination originally filled in, I think it's harder to look past the actual pixels.
Do you remember "VGA ART" ?

I remember being very excited for Zone66 since I had seen other things by Renaissance and it used protected mode to squeeze every ounce of processing power out of my PC. In the end, though, the game just wasn't very fun. It had a cool introduction, though!
"French groups IAB France, MMAF, SRI and UDECAM complained to the French watchdog last year, saying the feature would not affect Apple's ability to send targeted ads to users of its own iOS software without seeking their prior consent."

What targeted ads are apple sending? iAd was discontinued in 2016, was it replaced with something?
Psychedelics are a good analogy. I don't think they are worth much in our culture and carry serious risk for people who are unstable. Even if you find an authentic shaman, you aren't going to have the cultural context to make it worthwhile by flying there over a weekend.

There is also probably not much more dangerous than a very poorly functioning spiritual practice / teacher. The story here about Vipassana is unsurprising to say the least. It is sort of like squatting a 200kg weight with bad form, over and over again for years, but instead of your body you are breaking your consciousness.

The key takeaway is that if you want to pursue this stuff you really need to find a good teacher who you trust.
No one is stopping you from adopting if you have such a problem with it.
1. Is this substantially faster than JS? (canvas / .svg). Please test this exhaustively. Render time and script evaluation for JS charts is still a huge JS problem.

2. Can this be made interactive, e.g. on mouse-over show exact numbers? Without interactivity, it is still kinda lame

My white privilege must have been on vacation growing up because my parents were too poor to pay the light bill several times and eventually were foreclosed upon (this was way before 2008). And it certainly wasn't around when I had to work as a farm hand for less than minimum wage in high school to help pay the bills. A lot of what's perceived as white privilege is actually economic privilege, and most of the rest is made up.
>The tale of channel 37 reflects one thing: Without resistance, a commercial use case will usurp a noncommercial use case for a given resource.

Capitalism needs a check in the form of a strong government because without one, it will consume every available resource in service of privatizing and charging for resources that used to be available to all, like an economic plague. The joke can of "Perri-Air" from Spaceballs will be our actual future if we don't stop it.

If he can do that with healthcare, it could be a godsend for a great many people currently suffering under the opaque, private-equity-rigged healthcare system the US currently has. Such a system is ripe for disruption.

It seems to largely depend on what kind of healthcare quality and health outcomes Amazon can deliver while pushing prices down, as well as how Amazon can deal with the edge cases that currently account for the bulk of healthcare expenses in the current system.

One litmus test for where they're heading with this is whether they publish fixed costs for medical procedures or not. That seems to be one necessary-but-maybe-not-sufficient requirement for getting this mess under control.
That implies you should put a space before the # in the root prompt, because it's not recognized as a comment delimiter if it's in the middle of a "word".
Yep. We have quite a number of technical writers using Dendron. Dendron also integrates nicely with public projects - we support publishing docs as dendron pages with github links back to the original project. This results in publicly referencable docs that can be cloned and used locally. See example here: http://tldr.dendron.so/
