I don't mind music when the work is mundane, but I fucking hate needing to have something playing to drown out the sounds of people around me when I need to really think (best done in silence or with cafe noise for me). I honestly don't know how people actually do hard things in an office.

Many single-page-apps, and unfortunately also many regular looking pages, fetch new content using Ajax and splice it in the page dynamically.

This has some obvious advantages for some use cases: preserving local state, fast refresh, less duplicate data fetching from the server, etc

Downside is those are not links and opening in a new tab doesn’t work by default. It’s fixable in most cases, but additional work.

Luckily modern frameworks like Next.js make it easy to build apps and pages that have best of both worlds.
I formed my opinion of unions from watching the news. Union bosses drawing exorbitant salaries while trying to negotiate wage increases completely divorced from reality and current market conditions.

People like to shit all over Margaret Thatcher and her policies but they forget that it was the actions of the unions (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent) under a Labour government that got her elected in the first place.

Agreed that it's a separate question.

I just don't think the anti-CCP sentiment is unjustified, though.

Whether it was a lab leak is important but a misdirection.

Their cover-up of the true scale of the problem (lab leak or not) made it hard for politicians in other countries to lock down quickly. It helped it spread intentionally to multiple countries and by then it was too late.

If they were blasting their sirens early in 2021 instead of covering it up we might have had swifter border closures etc.
Well, this is exactly what I found interesting. When you talk to people who are "readers" (as in - have been reading for a while), this seems to be a "normal" for them.

And yet, go and talk to anyone (myself included) who was never into reading, and you'll encounter complete shock once you mention "reading more than one book at a time". It's funny, I know, but it's mind blowing for us who never "learned" how to read :)
No, it wasn't clear, maybe it's a reflection my own insight, I can only apologise for jumping the gun.

It appeared to me as if you were making an attack on the sentiment of reducing Chinese purchases, because the replier obviously can't be avoiding Chinese brands completely because he uses a mobile phone.
Thank you! Appreciated

I'm wondering what sort of education exactly would prepare someone to decide if they should vote for a union or not. I'm assuming the would-be union would have made its case beforehand and Amazon hasnt been idle with their PR. So again, what education helps in making the decision?
“With X11, everything displayed on the screen is compromised. Also, all inputs, keyboard and otherwise.

”With Wayland, each app only sees their own pixels.”

Out of curiosity, if this is true, how are screenshots / screen recorders implemented? Do they require some special permissions? And if this is the case, why wouldn’t any app be able to acquire these special permissions?
I'm always a bit conflicted about the idea of carbon capture. The whole idea seems predicated on the notion that the carbon is going to be sequestered forever and ignores organic matter getting broken down into methane which is much worse than the captured carbon dioxide. It really feels like the approach is creating climate debt for the future rather than coming up with a long term solution. I have to wonder if human kind will need to find some way to convert CO2 to pure carbon for storage as a climate control measure.
I disagree with your general sentiment. The people here reading these comments may be on the fence. Maybe they're leaning one way or another. Maybe they need some more convincing. Someone who wants to learn more can benefit greatly from a documentary or a good article on the subject. And these comments don't just exist in this moment. They will be available in search for a long time to come.

Great post, but it doesn't really mention that subway systems and light rail systems could be built in some of those cities that are currently without decent transit. I've spent time in Houston, too much of it in a car, and it's a city that could definitely use more transit systems than the small light rail system that it currently has.

I live in a European city where transit systems except old busses and trams were absent until a few years ago, and where a metro system has been built and expanded over the last decade or so. When a new metro station is about to open, office buildings and high-rises are built in its vicinity.

Nobody is suddenly selling their McMansion to move to an apartment near a metro station, but their kids might, divorced people might, people moving in from other cities might etc. It's a slow process but let's not forget that urbanization from villages to cities happened in a few decades and a lot of "densification" from suburbs to cities could happen in a few decades as well.

I’ve got a treadmill walking desk - two, actually. I’m in a bit of a unique situation where I do two types of jobs on my computer. I do both photography and some development. I can do all my photography tasks while walking at a fairly slow pace, 2mph or so. I’ll often walk 4 or 5 hours a day. I can’t, however, concentrate on an audiobook at the same time while culling photos. Editing and retouching are so automatic I can do all three.

Programming though? Only if I’m doing something I know how to do fairly well I can walk. That’s pretty rare due to how little time I can commit to coding.

In either situation it keeps me more awake and energized, even if I can’t concentrate as well.

Well that's exactly what amazes me (and many of "us" who were never into reading before) :)

It's only THIS year that I'm actually LEARNING and getting on terms with the fact that it's not a challenge or whatever, but more about the information and enjoyment. Again, I absolutely understand how stupid this might sound to someone, and I agree - it is stupid; but yet, that's how I honestly feel :)

But this year I've been "allowing" myself to re-read some stuff that I enjoyed in the past, without actually keeping track of it. And so far it's working out.

Keep in mind that on iOS you have no browser options AT ALL. You get Safari or skinned Safari.

Per the Apple app store rules, no one may publish a browser or javascript engine and any app that browses the web MUST use safari's webkit.

This is by design so that web feels very bad on iOS compared to native apps, so you'll keep using native apps and Apple will get their 30% of whatever you buy in app.
I truly hope gorhill is able to continue offering his services to the wider Internet community for a long time still to come.

Well, kudos to you my friend. It looked like you just reimplemented the python library in js/ts, but you've drilled all the way down. I was curious about doing a similar thing for a Sony E-reader that doesn't have modern os support and only ever had a closed source application for it. Do you have any articles on the process you went through?
> Long chains of instructions (ie. Where the output of one instruction is required as the input to another) are slow on modern hardware. It might well be faster to calculate the high side clamp and the low side clamp independently, and then to decide which result to return.

Probably not, at least not on Intel: the CPU could conceivably schedule both sides simultaneously on different execution ports, but they'd still be serialized internally on the floating point unit. That port is better used by other in-flight (u)ops. You're right that data dependencies are important to be aware of, but the generated code here is probably pretty close to optimal for recent Intel and AMU CPUs.
The same advice applies to data science. The menial grunt work of checking data quality etc is some of the most important and often overlooked for the neater work.

That's because it's not real firefox. Apple doesn't allow real firefox / chrome / etc and all apps that browse web must use safari's webkit.

Sure do. StackOverflow's Google ad partner explicitly allows the abuse of AudioContext and other audio APIs for tracking purposes, ruining user security. [1]

These APIs leak sensitive information about your peripherals without your consent or notification [2], and is used rampantly on Google's ad network.

Try it yourself and see. Simply open up the browser console and type: (new AudioContext())

Google Chrome developers have claimed that they consider privacy and security while implementing APIs, while they actively tear down privacy and destroy security (which benefits Google's ad unit). The separation between Google Chrome's security team and DoubleClick, is, in my opinion, non-existent. As another example, DoubleClick has a hard-coded backdoor in Chrome that sends a unique browser install ID as telemetry via headers to DoubleClick domains in all requests. [3]

Exactly this!

It's really helpful because, at least in my case, it actually gives you a "permission" to enjoy whatever the heck you feel like reading at the time, instead of being obligated to wait for being ready to read "that one" book.

So, currently, I actually think I'm reading one book about communication & negotiation, one about habits, one about investing (I'm complete dummy when it comes to it) and depending on the amount of stress at job, I'd re-read some of Seneca's writings.

All in all, definitely +1 for it!

> Well, according to the manual, you can by appending '+0.0' (or '.0'?) to numbers, converting it to float.

In addition to making extensive changes to the code, this is not complete because there are plenty of functions that would return integer instead of numbers (e.g. tonumber).

> Perhaps they could have gone for a more separate integer type?

I too think JS did the right thing: it introduced a new type for integers, and took it as a chance to make it arbitrary precision.
Small nitpick: it's "Annunciation", not "Assumption". Both feast days are associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary, but Assumption Day falls on 15th August whereas the Annunciation is celebrated on 25th March.

> But I hate the stupid racism and hate around it.

What is most astonishingly stupid about this particular racism is that while the CCP doesn’t come off looking great in significant ways, Taiwan comes away looking spectacular! Japan, Korea and Vietnam also have a lot to be commended for major aspects of their responses! Asians in the United States have on average done an excellent job of staying safe and therefore keeping our communities safer! The rest of us should be studying their policies and behaviors with a mind to adapt and emulate not having racist delusions.

More recently Firefox on iOS also behaves this way.

Not exactly, the Japanese word for "to like" is "suki", and there is also "soka" that means "I see". The Russian word for bitches is "suka". But yeah, I was confused at first when I started to live in Japan; they sound very similar, and even though I don't speak Russian, "suka blyat" is basic game slang nowadays.
Rust doesn't intend to prevent you from creating dangling pointers... if you want that functionality, use references. The reason this issue is particularly likely to hit is that it's the intersection of three things: (1) one of the very few times when people often need raw pointers when not writing very carefully inspected unsafe code is when calling functions across an FFI boundary, (2) C strings are represented by a char * pointer using a type (3) a Rust value that's created as a temporary will drop on the same line. (1) and (2) are how people can know it's almost always a bug when someone does this with a `CString`, whereas a lint would probably have a lot more false positives for something like a `Vec` (which is rarely passed to C directly since it doesn't understand it).

Keep in mind that even something like borrowing a RefCell creates a temporary, so once you cast to a pointer and end the lifetime it came from it's very hard for the type system to track back the pointer you got to any particular deallocated temporary in an intelligent way. It pretty much has to be done on a case by case basis, I suspect (but maybe that could be improved--it is definitely the case, from a study someone did recently, that a large percentage of UB in unsafe Rust is due to destructors running early unexpectedly!).

Can I not see a price estimate before ordering an Uber? That would prevent me from wanting to use their service at all. Isn’t uber’s entire value prop over cabs is easy hailing and pricing that you see up front?

HSR's should be evaluated not just on the present demand, but what kind of demand they might create if they compete effectively with e.g. airline travel. If they're able to reduce the costs enough (or if the Fed subsidizes, which it absolutely should), it might even create more demand. The plans drawn in the article link high density cities, many of which face housing shortages. By connecting them with fast, cheap rail, it might make it possible to commute between these cities. Which I would argue is better than driving for hours through rush hour traffic.
The linked article says that it does
Maybe we'll end up banning it again and stopping international funding of it?

It's pretty absurd to say that it makes no difference whether or not the virus was a lab leak or not. The answer to that question changes the posterior risk estimates of such research and therefore our international funding and domestic regulatory priorities.

There's also such a thing as soft, diplomatic nudges. Not everything is "force X to do Y when they want not-Y".

Nutritional facts are misrepresented by the Guardian in this article and in the primary source of the research: https://www.cerealmarino.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/APON...

50% more protein “per grain” is a comparison I’ve heard here first. The intro of the paper claims “13% protein” but its comparison table states “10.1% protein”. In comparison, regular wheat has around 12.6% protein, while Einkorn wheat contains 19.3% protein. [1]

“In addition to essential fatty acids, Omegas 6 and 9, and amino acids not found in other common grains and minerals, it also has significant levels of glucose, making it a superfood with exceptional qualities for a healthy diet.”

* First, we need much more omega-3 and drastically less omega-6, while we get plenty of omega-9, which is not essential as our bodies can synthesize omega-9. [2] [3]

* Glucose and other sugars are one of the handful things that there’s a consensus it’s bad for our health.

* All plant foods contain all 20 amino-acids, essential and non-essential. [4] Naturally, rice does not lack an amino-acid in their comparison table.

I agree with you, but I also think the commenter you're replying to agrees with you.

The issue is not that Tesla FSD should come with the hardware, the issue is that if I buy the hardware I should have the right to do whatever I want with it, and so we shouldn't leave aside that Tesla prevents us from running our own software.

This is relevant to the NVidia situation since their software doesn't add features, it limits things the chip is already capable of. Just like Tesla won't let you run Comma.AI or something similar on their hardware...

I assume that carbon capture implies actually capturing carbon. The sea grass actually gets covered by sand and mud in an anaerobic environment, which does sequester carbon for a long time. Unlike forests, which are exposed to the air and do sequester some carbon but also release a bunch back to the environment.

This sounds like a great principle for allowing dangerous bugs to linger in a codebase for years... one can always act upon a failure by aborting.
This is in comparison to the US as this whole thread is about the US.

Unless you mean that the US is in fact not a wealthy country if you are looking at above facts. Then that's something that could be argued.

If you remove cannabis and just understand the use governments and businesspeople have for black markets it makes more sense imho. There are lots of obvious reasons, but as someone who is interested in threat finance, what any black market does is offer that countries intelligence agencies secret funds outside of the purview of congress.

I use this to explain why the CIA is such a runaway org. Since inception one of the main concerns was lack of control by both the executive and the legiislative, and congresses control of the purse strings is constantly touted as one of the primary forms of control.... but if they can now have off books black bag money to with what they wilt without having to account for it to congress... the joke is every cartel boss really answers to a three letter somewhere.
