What really bugs me is that ADHD is completely ignored in the WAI-ARIA spec.

I'd be hopeless without the ability to block ads.

Addendum:

A "Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force" does exist, but they seem to be mostly focused on people who have difficulties understanding the content or how to mentally map/navigate it. What I want is a legal right to the ability to block major distractions.

It'd be great if Google would stop their efforts to sabotage ad blocking, but I'll take a browser-level setting in the same vein as the new "prefers-contrast" and "prefers-reduced-motion".

If the upper crust high income tech dudes are priced out of housing in their own city... imagine what it must be like to not be a SV tech worker living in those cities?
Thanks for the feedback on pricing. Yea we understand the initial cost on some APIs might seem high in aggregate but what you see is what you get. Unlike AWS who bill you in aggregate across storage, egress, etc, we only have one cost - the price per request. So some costs are baked in but we as developers ourselves totally get it and pricing will definitely evolve. Thanks again for the feedback.
That may be so, but those very same abilities are exactly what is needed for success in most jobs.
Another comment keyed onto a concrete example of why not, so I'll go with a presumptive reason:

Some of those elements will be part of the major service windows, and have expected operational and standby lifetimes.

So if a component with two elements has a service window of 10 years, and each element contributes to meeting that service window, then you've bumped your major service window from 10 years to a significant factor less than that.

e.g. the expected use profile might be: use element 1 for 6 years or 60% of service, switch to element 2 for 4 years, replace both during 10 year maintenance window. Interrupting that by bringing element 2 up reduces that window and contingency plans if the service window cannot be met.

I don't know, and I'm just talking out my you-know-what.

> sending an agent to prison in a foreign country to fake a suicide

In the US, police culture generally doesn't allow taking bribes or letting sketchy figures with improper documentation into prison cells to administer extra-legal punishment.

In the other countries, things might be a lot more relaxed -- I don't know about the police in this particular country, but I imagine there are a fair number of prisons around the world where the guards might let an assassin in and out, no questions asked, as long as the bribe is big enough, or even themselves have a little side hustle, providing the service of murdering prisoners who've made well-funded enemies.

Also, presumably most US government assassins are part of the CIA, and aren't supposed to operate inside the US.
yeah I see the presbys in there as well.

I often edit the description of an issue in linear just to breakdown the task using "markdown" checkboxes. In my mind: issues should correspond to a pull request and checkboxes to commits.
I do this with my 401ks and IRAs and Roth products too and unlike my non-profit entities in the 501 tax section the big trouble with the 400 tax section is that you cant do in-kind contributions

So you cant contribute assets you have to contribute cash and then buy the assets, whereas with nonprofits you can also contribute assets directly

This is just a small administrative hurdle, when you have contractual authority over an organization you can write options agreements and other grants that your 400 section tax deferred entity can afford. Self directed 400 section entities are typically formed as trusts, so it is easy to interact with them as distinct investors even if you are signing both sides of every contract.

I think its funny in the article where the person quoted said they were “in favor of change” to the tax code. Add in kind contribution to tax deferred products like 401ks and IRAs!
Not almost, it is simply a blatant lie. Now, how should I trust Microsoft if they can't avoid a lie (that is totally unnecessary btw) in their press release that was probably carefully crafted and approved by several levels of managers? It's like saying "we can do whatever we want, no matter if it's good or wrong, as long as in line with our interests." Shame.

> He found a loophole, sure, but it's morally fraudulent even if legally allowed.

Morality is relative. You can't legally police other people based on your personal morality. To me, morality is maximizing your self-benefit, so there's nothing wrong with what Thiel did. If other people disagree, then there are plenty of avenues to campaign for outlawing what he did.

At a time when the PC is playing a more central role in our lives

Oh, come on! That trend has peaked long ago, and you guys know it. And I type this using Windows 10, quite happily I might add, but unless you take a what's-a-computer approach that lumps cell phones with desktop PCs and everything in between, that is a ridiculous (opening!) statement.

I don't think it helps meshroom much because (afaict) there's no easy way to tell meshroom the angular information that's known from the stepper controller (I couldn't find anything obvious in the docs). If that worked, you could avoid the expensive and error prone initial orientation-determining step, which is absurdly slow.

I've done similar to this article but using Hugin as a panorama constructor. It speeds up the process signnificantly (because again you don't have to search for image orientations if you "know" them).
Honestly, I find this to be a lazy trope. MS has certainly laid some eggs before, but the "every other version sucks" narrative relies a lot on revisionist thinking. Vista was a resource hog on the hardware of the time, but the UI was honestly a huge improvement and a lot of the complaining about Vista centered around security improvements the _ABSOLUTELY_ needed to happen. I suspect plenty of HN readers have memories of the malware infested mess that less technical XP users machines often turned into. XP also had an (accidentally) long life, so the XP that was replaced by Vista was significantly improved.

You also leave out 8.1, which was a big improvement on 8.
Apparently, my 3yo desktop isn't compatible (Gigabyte Z270X Ultra). I really doubt people will upgrade their hardware just to use Windows 11.

The main thing that would be of interest to me:

- Have they replaced/improved the NT kernel [1]?

- Have they replaced the ancient registry? [2]

The answer to either was not to be found. I'll bet windows 11 will still be a backwards-compatible mess if the answer to either is `no`.

I'd be happy with people being simply 'educated'. Too many people barely graduated high school, lack all kinds of skills, have poor reading/writing abilities.
This feels like a useful metric, but one I haven't really heard asserted before. Care to elaborate?
Given my experience with similar products at Canonical, they will probably employ folks familiar with Blender, maybe even engineers who can fix bugs here and there, but those developers will not be spending their days working on upstream Blender. They will essentially be maintaining a Canonical fork of Blender, with occasional upstreaming of security fixes where it makes sense.
I can’t wait to see if Control Panel is still around with those network interface dialogs (among many others) from nearly two decades ago.

The new dock or taskbar looks nicer, but something about the window styles, the shape, the icons and the fonts still looks as ugly as they are on Windows 10.

I wouldn't mind ads if they were ... accurate, and would just advertise what I want to see, and let me participate and tell them what I want.

Let me manage what I want to hear about. I can assure you that my engagement would be a hell of a lot higher than when they advertise "thing you just bought" or "we think you're a woman here's a bunch of products related to" (I'm not a woman, I don't buy those products, amazon ... stop it). Or Google "hey here's some stuff from some sports team you googled" no google that's my team's RIVAL... I already told you I don't like them.

Granted advertising dollars come from folks who want to spend them so I'm going to see that stuff, not the other way around.
For me that’s a much more acceptable setting to have a more “human” interaction (provided that is actually how you normally interact).

This is the right approach IMO.
My cynical take on the "highlighting experience" section is that you should find some vanity metrics associated with your product or company and take credit for them.

Which actually probably does correlate well to success in a PM role.

My tip to get to the interview stage: get a referral. Trying to be 1 in 814 on resume and cover letter alone is brutal odds.
Depends. Java's JIT can handle cases of dynamic dispatch better than C++ because of runtime information. However, C++ has the advantage of time. It can do more heavy optimizations because the time budget to do such opts is much longer than what the JIT has available to it. C++ compilers can be much more aggressive about things like inlining.

That said, yes, the runtime information provides really valuable information. That's why PGO is a thing for C++.
The data are high variance, so you can't just pick individual cases and then only look at selected facets of them. That's classic cherry picking.

You've got to look at large scale trends if you want to see a large scale pattern, and, if you want to dig into the particulars, you need to look at all the particulars. For example, that article you cite fails to consider the different levels of organized crime between the two countries. Perhaps because including that detail might necessitate acknowledging that Brazil and the USA have different gun crime problems with different causes that might therefore require different responses.
This is such an annoying problem for anyone building a chat app. Very elegant solution. Thank you
I'm probably missing something - some of these APIs I get, but some just seem useless.

Why do I need an API to convert images? Find emojis? Convert "John" to "Hello John"? (ok the helloworld service is just a demo.) I can do that on the client using Javascript.

Moreover, why this instead of something like AWS Lambda, where you code your own service? Instead of prebuilt APIs, why not make it more general?

Don't get me wrong, this seems like a great service and I can see some niche use cases. Also basic APIs for things like database operations and authentication which can actually get pretty complex, and like getting the weather which you can't do yourself. But I can't really see the benefit to some of these APIs, and a custom lambda-style service-creator seems better than a lot of niche APIs and "submit a form if you want your API here".

My experience:

Bought a used OnePlus 7 Pro in late January 2021. It came with Oxygen OS 11 Beta, and had some severe bugs:

* Display issue on lock screen would cause mismatch between PIN/Pattern display and touch input making it very difficult to unlock

* Black screen requiring button combination to force reboot

Both happened several times a day.

At the time, I rolled back (easily) to Oxygen OS 10.3.8. When 11 was officially released, I ignored it for two updates. Finally, 11.0.0.2 came out and I caved. Guess what?

Same. Two. Bugs. Constantly. Also had a really bad issue during the install process that caused the screen to flicker rapidly the entire time.

Since this wasn't a beta, it was not trivial getting back to 10.3.8. Eventually I found the correct imaging tools and images and was able to get back to 10.3.8, which doesn't have any apparent or show stopping bugs.
In the late 90s, IE4 and then IE5 was the gold standard. We were all ecstatic when we didn't have to support Netscape 4 anymore. It wasn't until Firefox (more specifically Firebug) was mature that IE lost the crown.
Dell (and, really, all server providers apart from Supermicro) have crazy markups on storage.

It's where they make most of their margin.

And then, most of the time, the drives they sell come on custom sleds that they don't sell separately as a form of DRM/lock in.

Then you get a nice little trade on Chinese-made sleds that sort of work, but not for anything recent like hot swap NVMe drives.

I'm sure BB were able to negotiate down a lot (Dell usually come down 50% off the list price if you press them hard enough for one off projects), but... yeah. That's how it generally goes.
If the democratic-free nations of the world made a multi-lateral trade agreement then all manufacturing could come back and buying power of the CCP would greatly reduce.
If that's true, then I'll be forced to move many people's PCs to another OS after decades of Windows. I hope they reverse that decision, it's so hostile.

One of the thing that sucks about all these billionaires running end run around the tax system (outside of the obvious pay your fair share) is that they then have a bigger and bigger war chess to splash around. Anyone else who is competing the investment arena has to either play by the same rules or can't compete. It inherently makes more people have to buy into these end-run tax scenarios or risk being left behind. In this case it looks Peter Thiel just went all in on the ROTH IRA beyond what anyone else did.

Its not to dissimilar from the Countrywide CEO saying he was in a forced situation to get into subprime even though he had not interest and though it was a bad investment. If he didn't the board would vote him out. Recognize it is different but its kind of not unless the rules of the game change (which they may be in real time if this propublica billionaire take down works).
I miss the days when the unfathomably rich would at least build a university or a park or something. The future is just so boring.
Its so bad.

I don't know how this doesn't bug other people more. It's completely unfinished. Plenty of settings haven't moved from their XP or Windows 7 menus, as new "metro" 8/10 settings menus are created that have missing settings, new settings, and conflicting settings.

The new W10 interface to set a static IP will conflict with the old one (adapter properties) without telling you. Happy debugging.

No, but I do understand that the way society treats Black women is often different than the way society treats white women, and I understand that being a white woman does not automatically give someone complete insight into the struggles that Black women face.

Is there anything Microsoft could do with the OS that would really matter? Corporate purchases account for what?, 80%?, 90%? of Windows sales? My prediction: This version will still have (nearly) weekly root-level 0-day patches, but companies will continue to eat it up with a fork and spoon, because it lets them do such things as dictate to their corporate laptop fleet how long the screensaver can run before it locks. And the relatively few people who choose to use the OS for gaming (or on their Surface) will find things to be happy about, and life will go on as usual.
