The affordance I've always wanted is to have the instructions contain the amounts.

So instead of:

- Long list of items

- Complicated multi-step instructions moving back and forth

It's more like:

- Long list of items

- Add 1/2 cup oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon to bowl

It would make recipes so much easier to read.

Has there been any good meta analyses on the effects of suggestive content on children? My prior is that seeing sex was common enough in the ancestral environment, both human and animal sex, and children won’t be much effected from this content floating around.
Your parents and non-techie friends and family won’t have to use alternative stores, no one will be forcing them to.

And if Apple is so concerned about user security & privacy when it comes to alternative app stores, they should adjust their policies so that the apps most users want will see no reason not to be on the App Store.

Yeah, so please don’t create terminal TUIs please. Very disturbing to use TUIs that don’t work with CJK languages at all. Please, please create GUIs instead of TUIs. (I’m not blaming programs reading from stdin and printing data to stdout, but the ones based on ncurse and fill the terminal screen.)

Can you expand on what do you mean as being blind to race? Do you want them to see your race, treat different races differently? Aren't we supposed to be a color-blind society? Maybe I am just not understanding what you mean.
Many of the major US cities like San Francisco suck. They are full of homeless people, drug addicts, and general idiots. I would say NYC is an exception. They turned it around over there and I still like visiting. No wonder everyone lives in the suburbs. When I want to visit an urban place I go to Europe.
Can you not setup hot reloading? I work with flask but it’s as simple as

Slightly OT but is there a resource to find local coffee alternatives – plants that produce caffeine or other mild stimulants – to try to reduce one’s shipping/carbon footprint? I found it difficult to even know what local alternatives there are. For reference I’m in the US midwest, but I’m curious about how one finds local alternatives that are not one-to-one more generally.
I've been trying to import a FairPhone, myself. Why they're making it so difficult to get one in the states is beyond me.
1) No, the video is factual, not racist.

2) Having seen similar shoplifting incidents around SF, I feel bad for the security guards. They're not allowed to physically stop thieves at larger chains, but they're expected to follow and hinder them. It's a very tough job, ad prone to injury.

It's fascinating to watch the change in behavior when the "security guard" flashes his SF Police badge and says, "Actually, I'm a real cop." Then the thief drops everything, stops mouthing off, and heads for the door..
> Third, because there are no real repercussions, moderators play favourites. There is no real customer service channel so complaints against bad moderating go largely unheard. When you heard about a channel being unbanned almost immediately when larger channels stay banned and it never seems to be fixed, that's likely a human who has a bias towards one over another. People who have an in with the moderation team can get preferential treatment for sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the massive user generated content sites have hand-curated Do Not Ban lists to protect their top VIP users from the whims of the algorithms. Would a top-100 app ever get automation-banned from the Apple Store? Would a popular celebrity get automation-banned from Twitter? I bet, for the select list of "favorites," any ban action goes through multiple levels of human judgment. For the rest of us schmucks, it's a roll of the algorithm dice.
When you only have two choices of operating system for phones, there is not choice. It's a duopoly; there's nothing competitive or pro-consumer in having to lump the entirety of your mobile OS feature sets in two camps and damn anything else that doesn't remotely resemble that.

Sorry but Toyota doesn't have its business model harmed by being able to go to my mechanic to tune a car. If Apple wants to put three layers of dialogues to open up customization, so be it.

More generally, most organizations have a mission. Even if the mission is explicitly political (like getting a candidate elected) there are still going to be things that people care about that aren't mission-related and getting into an internal dispute about them is a distraction from the mission.

An example of that for Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Here_to_build_an_enc...

But this hardly solves all political disputes. It's enough to rule some issues off-topic and have it generally be understood, but there are always grey areas, and plenty of politics that's directly mission-related.
Apple allows you to sideload those kinds of apps using the developer certificate. Emulators, VMs etc have existed for years.

Again it’s far more the form factor that is a restriction than whether it’s downloadable from the store or not.
Aggregate increases in petty crime, robbery, etc. always have a socioeconomic precedent. As a result of being ruled by capital and neoliberal policymaking, SF has rapidly become unfit for those who previously lived there. The neoliberals themselves will blame it on policies like rent control, suggesting that the free hand of the market would solve everything if given a chance. But the contemporary United States, and especially California, is itself the most radical experiment of free market solutions on Earth.
Independent third party here. I don't think it does, and as such, don't think it would really be appropriate to face it.
~“…cannot bear offspring and thus are not productive.”

Not all heterosexual people produce offspring; is that okay?
There are other ways to contribute to survival of humans. Teaching, for example.
Maybe it’s not so much survival that matters (aside from what seems to be the point of life: automated resource conversion) as thriving?
We’re all going to die anyway; why make life harder for people based on their sexuality? Seems to be enough of us making babies already. Maybe too many, given our resource-conversation rate.
But it very much is, at least in a "Western world" context which usually also includes Europe, were attitudes to violence and nudity can be completely reversed to the US.

For one of the most prominent examples, just compare the US to Germany: For decades Germany censored very mundane video games, like Counter Strike or Doom, for their depiction of violence.

In games like Command&Conquer, Half-Life and others, whole enemy units and models were replaced to appease the German rating boards. The original DOS Doom game was only "unbanned" in 2011.

A lot of violent movies and TV shows are only aired in censored versions in Germany, yet on these very same channels, during late night, there regularly is completely barrier free soft-core erotica content that for many Americans would qualify as "porn".

Another example is the naturism/nudist culture that very much has a old and somewhat popular tradition in Germany as FKK. It's also a thing in the US, yes, but it never was on a comparable mainstream level like in Germany.

These differences exist because there simply isn't this one unified "Western culture" that some people stipulate to be a thing.

Even as someone who doesn't think highly of this admin or mo'jones, plastics are the crack cocaine of manufacturing, and of all the empty gestures this government has made, this is probably the most useful thing they could do.

It's regressive in the sense that it will cause a hedonic hit to people who buy cheap things for comfort, but the majority of plastics begin and end their lives as disposable garbage. Let's just say when you clean up a park, creek, lake, or a beach, you don't end up with a collection of champagne bottles and caviar tins - it's all fast food bottles and containers.

The next one would be concrete and laws about disposing of contaminated fill, because that's the huge environmental horror afflicting rural areas that is a direct result of a real estate bubble manufactured by their other policies, but it's a start.
I worked at place like this at Lyft and to be honest it made me pretty uncomfortable. I was aligned with most people about most of the causes circulated freely, but not all. And on the items I wasn't fully onboard with the party line, I felt there was a huge risk to my job if I ever were to voice that.

I won't ever work in an environment like that again. Once I cross the threshold with my coworkers to be friends I feel like there's a significant difference in what we are comfortable talking about with each other and certainly I expect to debate social causes with them at that point. Otherwise, I find it incredibly naive to expect consensus on any ideas, regardless of how fundamental they seem.
The grandparent was asking what those purposes are, not what amount of them there are.
> This is just in general why I have an issue with prudeness in our society.

My brain reacts to sexual stimuli, as it evolved to. I don't want that reaction when I'm riding the metro, or in a work meeting, or having a family dinner. So it's helpful to have a set of social norms about when and where to expect and accept sexual content and when not to.

> I have no idea where prudeness comes from, is it innate to some people? Is it a taught trait?

It's cultural. Norms change, sometimes rapidly. In video games, sexy characters who used to be contentious have been commonplace for a while now, and this hot tub streams thing is just over the line. Maybe in a decade, softcore streamers will be normal but streaming hardcore sex will just over the line.

> But it seems to cause so much discord and disagreement yet is inherently safe and peaceful.

Is the "it" here prudery or provocation?

Prudery is at one end of the spectrum with provocativeness on the other. There's almost no way you aren't prudish in some way. Prudery is usually about control but it's only bad when it can't be relaxed in private or when that control becomes a means of oppression.

"By necessaries I understand, not only the commodities which are indispensibly necessary for the support of life, but whatever the custom of the country renders it indecent for creditable people, even of the lowest order, to be without. A linen shirt, for example, is, strictly speaking, not a necessary of life. The Greeks and Romans lived, I suppose, very comfortably, though they had no linen. But in the present times, through the greater part of Europe, a creditable day-labourer would be ashamed to appear in public without a linen shirt, the want of which would be supposed to denote that disgraceful degree of poverty, which, it is presumed, nobody can well fall into without extreme bad conduct. Custom, in the same manner, has rendered leather shoes a necessary of life in England. The poorest creditable person, of either sex, would be ashamed to appear in public without them."
I love the quality of the C++ output. I'm truly impressed.
Hence why I said most, not all.

That said, was this upgrade to Android 7.1 officially supported by Samsung?

In 2015, Apple released the iPhone 6S. It has not stopped receiving day-one software updates. For anyone who still has one (two in my circle of family and friends still have their 6S) they are still working great on iOS 14.5.
Agree. Every time I visited the US it was worse. The desperation, the trash, the roads full of holes, the broken down cars, clearly crazy people walking the streets. Mixed with little islands of smug self-important doing-well people who clearly didn’t care about the misery surrounding their little island. We are no longer planning to visit the US. It is too depressing.

Wait until you encounter HN's incorrect hot-takes that get upvoted to top-comment in a niche field you have expertise or personal experience in - especially if it's in a non-tech field. I wouldn't bet on HNs superiority over Reddit, except for a very narrow band of fields.

Fortunately 2000000000000 donuts still take only 2h to make. That's good news!
It makes me wonder, what the owner could do in that environment to prevent such theft, ie in the circumstances where the police cannot be bothered. I wonder if making extremely loud, directed noise to cause a discomfort for thieves is legal or effective.
I was always lead to believe that particular Safeway was purpose-built for Nikita Khrushchev to ogle produce[^1]. Why should we still think it's reasonable to promote something that was never meant to exist beyond a cold war photo op? Two guards? Why do we need grocery stores with two guards? It's definitely an impressively large space, but supermarkets are such a twentieth century gimmick.

Tide and Coke and GM would definitely advertise on PornHub if they didn't know that a vocal chunk of their consumers would actively protest, and stop buying those products.

But advertising on a website that is oriented towards Let's Play and educational lectures and video games? Of course!

Twitch just needs to make the sexual content deniable and findable at the same time... which they have just done.

The big problem is that there has been little to no effort on what to do with waste plastic. It's cheap to produce but it looks like it's expensive to deal with the waste. Right now it costs money to discard it so people and companies do their best to shift the burden to some one else.

Plastic is an important part of our modern society but we need to use it and get rid of it wisely.
That’s true but you might as well thank Standard Oil for being able to have a car. Being innovative and anti-competitive aren’t mutually exclusive.
Legal, high-skilled immigrants from Mexico and other countries, - yes!
And if you allow cars to be repaired some cars might eventually be fixed the wrong way and crash. Same with my home appliances. Yet that doesn't seem to be an argument.

Your labor and skills are not owed because they got lucky, they are owed because that is what you are exchanging with the owner for money.

Nobody sane would argue that our current approach to banking security is fine, though. There definitely is money to be made with more secure and convenient money transfer, as proved by the quite large number of start-ups in the field. Among these, quite a lot work only among users of the same app without anybody being outraged about it.
I'd argue the opposite: around half the population of the planet is instinctively and immediately drawn to the sight of a fertile woman with her secondary sexual attributes on display, while the appeal of pixels mashing into other pixels on a screen is much more limited.

Also, Amouranth does actual pornography for a living, her own interest is absolutely more aligned towards getting new OnlyFans subs than some platonic ideal of enjoying gaming for its own sake.

Link is broken; says:

> Without Javascript the regular website is not functional. To go to the noscript version Compiler Explorer click here

"click here" goes to https://gcc.godbolt.org/noscript/z/3b4z56Y87, which has:

int choose(int cond1, int cond2)
{
int y;
int x1 = cond1 ? 2 : y; /* So int x1 = 2; */
int x2 = cond2 ? 3 : y; /* So int x2 = 3; */
return x1 + x2;
}

but no actual assembly.

Based on context, I'll speculate that you have found a compiler bug, that the compiler writers will refuse to fix it, and that the varible y has been optimised out because it's unused after constant propagation, regardless of whether said compiler bug causes the constants being propagated to be incorrect.
Starting with PHP and Visual Basic got me on the way to making cool stuff really fast, but I think they both made the leap to "real" programing languages later. With web development, I didn't really move on from PHP's "HTML with extra stuff" until I came across Ruby on Rails, and I'm not sure I ever really got past VB for high level GUI desktop stuff, but I was able to get into some lower level C in high school, but I've never really done desktop GUI programming since other than a little bit of Cocoa/Objective-C with earlier version of Mac OS X.
I don't know much about trucks, but I looked up both on the Ford website. The Ranger's front area is slightly curved while it is flat on the F-150. Aside from that, the trucks look identical to my novice eyes. I can't say I find either particularly appealing.
I'm curious what is meant by "plastic" here - it would be a shame if they banned all plastics. Plastic as we know it comes in many varieties, depending on the use case. In general I think it refers to polyethylene. [1]

However, it is also possible to produce plastics from hemp, which is vastly superior on many dimensions compared to what is common today. Hemp was just legalized in many US states in 2018 after having been banned in the 30s due to lobbying pressure from cotton manufacturers. Moreover, there are recyclable (and I assume less toxic) plastics produced from corn, which you might see in cups at forward-thinking shops. These plastics biodegrade significantly faster than petroleum-based alternatives.

So hopefully any legislation is specific to plastics which are harmful.
