Yes, it is possible to do it well (the things you mention are helpful), even though it is often done badly.

One idea is to improve the design of the web browser (including the engine), since the current design makes many things difficult for the end user to customize.

No-JS is almost always suitable, although not quite always. When scripts are needed, you should include a <noscript> block, including the documentation, raw data, other protocols, etc as appropriate. (There are some web pages that do this, but it seems to be rare.)

What thing had you been writing?
Right. I've always thought that HOAs seem kind of un-American. Being how Americans are all pro-freedom and anti-socialist , having some social construct dictating what you can do in your house AND paying it yo do so seems quite far from US values.

And I am not American and I'm pretty socialist myself.
When I think about smoking and addiction, I think about how genetics and early childhood experiences actually allow us much less "free will" than we'd like to admit, especially in the US.

I picked up smoking in my late teens and early twenties. I tended to smoke socially, but still sometimes smoked by myself. Probably about 2 years into I thought "this is dumb", and just stopped. I never felt addicted. Quitting wasn't difficult for me at all - at the time I was pretty busy so I didn't even really miss it. Basically, I just really don't have an addictive personality or whatever other part of our genes causes people to get addicted. I could quit without a second thought, but many other people I know who started around the same time I did are either still smoking or have had a hell of a time trying to quit.

I bring this up because there are so many things that we think of are due to an excess or lack of will power (this view is especially prevalent in the US) - if you are overweight it's because you lack willpower, if you can't quit smoking you lack willpower, etc. etc. My point is that this is usually not true. I was able to quit smoking not because I had a ton of willpower, but because I didn't need it.
I have very similar experience as the author. I come from a small town in a poor country. On top of it's culturally inappropriate to brag about oneself. My first years living in a big city in North America was very hard on me. Everyone is at the center of the universe. Everyone is just too cool, too savvy and so high opinion about themselves to be friend with someone like me.

After couple of years, now I can see through the BS and the whole high self-esteem culture behind it. North America is a very unique culture where having a (often unrealistic) high opinion about oneself is seen as virtue. Immigrants like me, who are not familar with North American cultural schtick, can easily fall for the whole high self-esteem ruse.
Which city is this? I’ve lived in major cities in NorCal and SoCal and can’t say that’s ever been my impression. Maybe later in the evening but usually the smokers self-segregate where they’re not around non-smokers.
Agreed about battery tech. I wouldn't bet against it.

But there are cities that already have electrified buses (such as Seattle). This could potentially make sense for a city investing in adding or expanding such a system. If the choice is between hanging wires or embedding coils in the street, it may make more sense to embed the coils.

> Your stats in absolutely no way counters my claim about addiction.

There is no standardized addiction metric. The product, the dosage, age of user, and social habits matter significantly. Alcohol is extremely addictive and habit forming it kills 95,000 people a year in the US. I think it is disingenuous to dismiss it is as orders of magnitude less addictive than nicotine.

Most people can smoke a Cigar without becoming addicted to nicotine and a regular user. In the same way most people who are exposed to alcohol in the US don't get addicted.
Quitting smoking is harder than quitting cocaine IMHO.
Well it depends on the program you are using but programs that follow a document-style layout usually allow you to close a document without quitting the program (in the File menu or Ctrl-W).

The big 'X' will always quit the program though as that's what the user would expect. Imagine Chrome/Firefox's big 'X' only closing the current tab (is that how it works on a Mac?).
I have scripts disabled and some other things disabled. It loads fast for me.
I don't see anything wrong in characterizing Cardoso as "neoliberal," albeit of a "third-way" strand, like other politicians from the 1990s such as Tony Blair or Bill Clinton.

And about Lula & Haddad, well... I would say your characterization of them is as biased and wrong as you claim the author to be; it's equally ideologically charged, but in the opposite direction.

So the result is that you didn't really show anything wrong with the author, but simply expressed your ideological distaste with his leftism; while we, the readers of both the article and your comment, are left to choose based on nothing more than purely our own ideological inclinations.
I asked who's going to take advantage (militarily, in context) of this level terrain leading into Russia, and you say "NATO". And then you say that NATO isn't an invading force. So what, exactly, are you saying? Seems like you're back at my answer of "nobody is going to invade".
> Wikipedia clearly states

Where? This thread is the first time I remember reading about this, and I've seen a lot of Wikipedia beg-nags. They moved from outrageously deceptive messages that strongly implied that the lights would go out without my donation and that the donations were used to keep Wikipedia alive "for another year" [1], to slightly more vague "keep Wikipedia online and growing" [2] banners.

Never did I see those banners mention an endowment.

Unfortunately, it has taken me 40 years to learn that most people have no clue about innovation. I mean, imagine believing there are no good ideas left, all the good songs have been written.

From now on, when someone tells me something is a bad idea, I'll take it mean that I should examine it further.

Hello,you are given alist of 4 names and have to select 1 of them. This happened 2020 in USA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidentia...

Different levels have different filtering rules, it is impossible for a random person to run for mayor, governor.
Likewise, everyone in China can run for village or community people's representative, and those elected can run in municipal, then provincial and national elections.
Of course, higher-level representatives need to be vetted for their backgrounds, whether they are corrupt, whether they have committed crimes, etc.

In the field of political participation, the West is no more freedom than the East, only different filtering rules.

These Chinese election systems, should be translated to you by your English-speaking world who knows Chinese, but your media (or yourselves) never take the initiative to go deeper, only read those hundreds of words of propaganda news.

Shame on you.
What evidence do you have that this isn't true? It's not really a falsifiable position (since nature vs nurture is hard to show) and free will hard to measure.

To me, it simply seems more convenient for the audience to believe free will doesn't exist and addition is genetic.
love this, gotta dig more into this blog (*bLOG)
I've heard images are better modeled in DCT space (which isn't based on complex numbers) because it's better at energy compaction than FFT, and also because it doesn't assume that the image is periodic. Also some people think that the FFT is insufficient, even for audio, because it doesn't model time-domain hearing perception. Some people say that wavelets are better at modeling images than purely frequency-domain transforms, because they take spatiality more into account. From what I've heard, wavelets work well for modeling human vision (in fact convolutional neural network input kernels tend to converge to Gabor filters, which I don't know howw they differ from Gabor wavelets) and noise reduction, but have fallen flat for image/video compression codec design.
> My HOA is $100/yr and the only common property are some pillars at the 2 entrances.

Yeah well that's a lot of price to be paying for a couple of pillars. I'd rather pay $0. I'm not paying $100 to some random dude. They aren't the IRS.

> We do have rules that I actually like, for example:

That doesn't mean I have to like them. I shouldn't have to pay my $100 to be subject to restrictions.

> - no driveway basketball goals or other sports equipment

> - no motor homes or boats parked in driveways

What? Why do you care? It's not your home, let them do what they want

> - fences have to be approved. We have 5-6 different kinds that they accept, but not 30

I'll build my own damn fence. I'll build my fence how I like it.

> - sheds and other detached storage buildings have to be approved. Anything attached to the house doesn't require approval

I think this is a city building code issue for safety reasons, in any case the HOA should have no say over it.

> These rules to me are to maintain property values of the neighborhood.

I have ZERO responsibility to maintain YOUR property value. And if I truly own it (i.e. not under mortgage), I have ZERO responsibility to maintain my own property value. I only have responsibility to be a good citizen and not be a nuisance or public health hazard to you. A boat in my driveway does nothing to you, and it's not upto you to tell me where to put my boat.
The general problem with search-based approaches to the desktop problem is that people expect mind-reading from what is ultimately a very limited algorithm. Then they get mad because the search algorithm doesn't have the associations that are in their head to categorize and index things and it doesn't turn up the results that they think it should.

If I had a dollar for every time I've explained why a search isn't returning the results that the user thinks it ought to, because they are a human being, and not a dumb pile of boolean logic...
University of California also guarantees admission to the top 9% graduates of public high schools.

Or did, at least.

It's true that both of these policies are outliers on a per-state basis, but when you consider population, somewhat less so.
> For example, a NASA document is explicit in saying that a factor of safety only covers #1 and manufacturing tolerances and does not cover #2 - #5

Why do different fields have different definitions? Because they're different fields! Aerospace doesn't really worry about material imperfection because they do very intensive quality inspections that aren't feasible for bridges (e.g. X-rays that can't effectively be done outside). And early nuclear design use focused on "imperfect theory" because (of course) the theory at the time was somewhat uncertain.

I think this article is overly dismissive of a proven way for a whole industry to learn over time about risk management. e.g. Boeing doesn't want to share the distribution of their material strengths. But they're happy to share some safety factors that don't reveal a lot about their business but help out the whole industry.
Disagree. /user/edit/5 tells me easily what record it is about on the database without having to copy paste an UUID.

Dev experience truly is a case of death by thousand cuts. I avoid every little cut I can like the plague so energy goes into making cool stuff.

> Should develop better tooling to visualize debugging information.

Thing is, why would I spend time overengineering tooling I don't need if I can get away with incrementing ids? When optimizing for value, I'd rather spend time solving business problems.

Your editor is very cool btw. And it's clearly a case where incrementing ids are not optimal.
Thank you all for the feedback and support for DarkHN. I'll be working on fixing some of the bugs on the application (unexpected 403 errors, low contrast, etc).

If you're interested in the code or would like to contribute, take a look at the GitHub repo: https://github.com/xtrp/darkhn

For those interested, it's written in Node.js with a simple Express.js server. More info is available on the repo.

Thank you all again for taking a look at this project!

I'm showing an extreme example of the OP's logic. There are laws and regulations around items and property that people ""own"" that prevent how they use their property yet it doesn't change that they do still own it.
> Read the responses to this paper. It has been pretty much debunked.

I'm impressed with your transition from "I've never heard research on ketamine's opioid activity" to "it is pretty much debunked". I suggest you read a bit more and watch for confirmation bias.
This works great if you are dealing with files, and are disciplined enough to organise them, but in other cases it turns into a big mess. My wife is not disciplined in that way so her computer has many layers deep of temporary and non-temporary documents on the Desktop, and Windows is constantly complaining there is no disk space. Her iPhone is the same because of podcasts and WhatsApp groups that auto-download media but never clear out the old stuff.

The idea of fragments as TFA discusses really resonated with me, because most of my life is not in files. Giving a real example, a few months ago I read a blog post about some house planning software (I'm in the process of building a house), and later needed to refer back to it. I didn't save it anywhere (bookmark, save as PDF, Notion/Roam etc) because it didn't seem that important at the time.

Its the same if you watch a YouTube video or read an article here. Sure you could take notes and save those notes in a text file that you can later search, but who has the time to that for every single piece of content they consume?

Something like Spotlight is a good start, but it needs much more meta-data. All of your search and watch history needs to be there, but in a world that's becoming every more siloed (how do I record the photo a friend shared with me a few months ago on Facebook Messenger?) that's tricky.
> > Now, sometimes a table has a natural primary key, for example the social security number of a country’s citizens.

> You know, you think that, but it's never that simple.

It’s that simple if you’re the Social Security Administration and its a table of Social Security Accounts, not people.

Other than that, using SSNs as a primary key is just plain wrong.
I don't think the USA ever intended to actually fight a war in the South China Sea. The carrier groups stationed there have always just been deterrents/security for USA allies (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan) to develop and prosper in the region. Which will have much greater long-term security benefits for the world and for USA.
Houses sometimes burn down. Occasionally, physical storage media catastrophically fails. When these things happen, you'd better hope that your backup process (a) worked, (b) was complete and (c) didn't suffer the same fate as the primary hardware. Hopefully the author is diligent and has backed up everything with sufficient frequency and with sufficient physical separation.

Whereas a VM backup means you can rehabilitate a functioning computer for the author with all of their data and __all__ of their esoteric configuration nuances in a matter of minutes. They can effectively have their computer reappear in front of them using any commodity hardware available off-the-shelf from any large town in Western civilisation—no need to rummage around your local community to track down esoteric, period-correct hardware components.

I don't think cloud backups are strictly necessary but given the size of a DOS virtual machine in its entirty, why the hell not? What are we talking about here, one or two megabytes after compression? That's less than one JPEG from a smartphone.

Has anybody read Martin Amis’s: The War Against Cliche?

It’s been several years but the book is great and the title summarizes the work of a literary critic, at their best, in my opinion.
It has little to do with social status, and everything to do with your implicit assumption that SV salaries are the tech world's equivalent of minimum wage. In reality, SV salaries are the highest in the tech world, not the lowest. Not paying SV salaries is not equivalent to "paying your stuff under market", because SV is not the market -- it's the highest-paying corner of the market.

The better analogy here is GoldBurger, which is a very successful burger chain that sells gold-plated $200 burgers and pays its employees $100/hr. Would it then be reasonable for my local mom-and-pop burger joint, where the most expensive burger costs $5, to compete with GoldBurger on salary? Would the cashiers making only $20/hr at my local joint be paid "way under market" just because GoldBurger exists?

The fact that GoldBurger exists and can create very well-paying jobs for its cashiers doesn't mean that suddenly the entire base of the market rises up to match it. It just means that, all else being equal, it's entirely possible that potential employees will go with GoldBurger rather than my local joint, if given the choice, and the local joint will have to hire other folks. If every burger joint was like GoldBurger, my local joint would be in trouble. But that doesn't tend to be the case, and it isn't the case in the tech world, either.
I mean, yes, we agree; what you are saying is you're an a*hole and you don't care. You wake babies, startle people, annoy thousands, anger others, cause negative emotions wherever you go, but that's the point and you love yourself some loud exhausts. The image you portray is exactly the image you want to portray and by all accounts accurate. To a certain degree, I suppose I should appreciate the warning, and as I said in a sister thread, I respect people who like yourself are open and upfront about being selfish bastards, over those who pretend (whether to others or even themselves) it's for safety or performance or some other nebulous rationalization :).
Google had apps for Windows Mobile 6, and Microsoft chose to throw that app ecosystem away for Windows Phone 7. WP8 could run WP7 apps, but for the best experience, you needed to redo a bunch of stuff in a way that only worked for WP8. Same thing for WM10, except that this time, Microsoft called it Universal, although a Universal app didn't work on the WP8 and WP7 devices; and AFAIK, WM10 never surpassed 7 or 8 in active devices; whoops.

Also, I had heard Microsoft blocked 3rd party browsers early on, when Mozilla wanted to develop Firefox for WP, that would have been a lot nicer than mobile IE and later Edge, and probably would have run YouTube just fine.

On the dates, I see a RTM date of Nov 2015, and GA of Mar 2016 for WM10; I think the end of QA and the merger of Windows Phone with Windows was actually at the same time, Nov 2014, AFAIK. It's a bit tricky to nail it down, but I think this article, read with hindsight speaks to those changes. https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-layoffs-operating-sy...

Simple translation: Bitcoin is a failure as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system and has been hijacked to be a store of wealth/value which is not its intended purpose.

There are some other cryptocurrencies out there that are more better and more efficient than Bitcoin.

Looking in from another country it appears three, maybe four, problems drive this:

1) cost of avoiding litigation of large proportions, or even the spectre of it when possibly unwarranted

2) excessive cost of even basic medical supplies, partly due to (1) above, and parly due to the clubiness of the whole affair

3) excessive cost of developing drugs and the practices that allow minor repackaging of delivery systems to extend patents on existing drugs (no one wants to be the guinea pig, but the balance between risk and reward seems a little skewed when overall benefits to society are accounted for and people are dying from certain diseases anyway)

4) Overpayment of some medical staff, and underpayment of others, you can probably guess who. I get it, you want the best doctors and they should be incentivised to choose medicine and do well, but a doctor saves/kills one patient a time, usually, see (3) above. It is just as difficult and time consuming to become, say, a specialist engineer making key decisions where a mistake might kill dozens or hundreds of people. In my country there is only one job in government where the professional society gets total control over pay outside of regular guidelines, you guessed it doctors, and the relative amounts involved are frankly obscene.

When I see that medical misadventure is the third highest cause of death in USA now, it starts to appear hard to see how anyone can hink that the high salaries for some and the large amounts of money spent to keep people "safe" is not working, so why not spend that money in other ways.

It seems Obama got it wrong, the issue wasn't with insurance, it was with costs and general approach by the medical care providers. Many of these providers I am sure would desperately like to provide optimum care, but are just part of the juggernaut that seems to have no circuit breaker.

I would happily accept any criticism or correction of my views, as I am only relaying distant perceptions, some or all of which may be incorrctly founded.

I guess the simplest answer is they didn't launch an attack because they couldn't. Specialized torpedo boats cannot generally penetrate a destroyer or cruiser screen without assistance. There is no viable way to even get into position to threaten a carrier as such a movement will be detected on radar long before a threat materializes. Even when American ships engaged in offensive operations close to the north Vietnamese coast they came out on top in clashes involving patrol boats making a large offensive operation unappealing.

The red force in the millenium challenge had access to significant capabilities that Iraq and Vietnam did not have access to such as incredibly accurate anti-ship cruise missiles.

Or “Griefkit” was another name. But a lot of the early and mid vintage ham gear was decent and a good value. I built or owned 2nd hand several back in the day. A former coworker of mine that lived for a while close to Benton Harbor said that a lot depended on which engineer at Heath did the design work. The resulting kits were uneven because the talent was uneven and they did not leverage opportunities for collaboration.
