Only if fast boot is enabled. Which makes sense, because in that case Windows doesn't shut down entirely, the file system is still marked as mounted. You can break that lock, but you really shouldn't. Better to disable fast boot entirely.
In many contexts, solarpunk is related to anarcho-communism and gift-economies. It can be difficult to see how a solarpunk-like society could sustainably grow directly out of our current economic system.
> Pan detection takes a couple of seconds every time it's triggered which makes it annoying to use lifting the pan as a way of temperature control.

This is my biggest problem with the induction burners I've used. Basting meat in butter requires tilting the pan, lifting it off the burner. Cooking eggs softly involves moving on and off the heat. Whatever auto setting on things I've used don't allow for "off for a bit, and then back on for a bit" use.
Suggestion: If the search result is a synonym of the search query, display a message at the top saying so.

As a layperson, I searched for "aspirin" and got a result for "Acetylsalicylic acid" and I didn't know if the search result was even correct. If it had said "Acetylsalicylic acid is a synonym of aspirin", things would have made sense immediately.

(I think Wikipedia displays such types of disambiguation info at the top of their pages.)
If it is not something temporary a line of code is written once and then read many time by many people (for different reasons). Over the long run speed of reading more important than speed of writing. If copilot doesn’t help to write easy to read code it would make the problem worse.
I did read that article, my tldr is what I said.

Perhaps in 1984 what he writes was groundbreaking, but to me it wasn't. Do I need to apologize now for not being bamboozled by Ken's genius this time?
All that would be relevant if I were positing that key > keystone, but it's obviously the opposite so I'm not sure why you're trying to convince me that a keystone is important.

I'm not looking for a crack here and the "nitpicking" was a convenient example of how both sides are skewing reality to suit their ends.

Anyway, I notice that the title has now been changed to reflect the original headline so I guess somebody else thought they were different enough words to warrant changing it back again.
"with no external dependencies to manage."

Except for like, the software which reads and renders the pdf, which may not be available on current or future OSes.

I dont see how this is any different to writing a static webpage.

China will probably deny it regardless of what other countries say. Beyond that, attribution isn't made by IP addresses.
One caveat, at least for me, is that Switch games tend to be designed around cartridge limits, and the transfer speed there isn't too much faster than the Switch's UHS-I SD card reader (although I can't find any tests or specifications on the cartridge port). PC games nowadays tend to be designed around either a SATA-III SSD or a PCI-E SSD (over NVMe), which will be much, much faster than a UHS-I port, so PC games over an SD card won't be anywhere near as performant as a Switch game.
My thoughts exactly, I feel like it would be easier to write accessible webpages (given the wealth of accessibility tools).

Yes, and almost all consumer routers and quite a lot of other random pieces of hardware. Hence the billions of users.

How many of those pay for upstream maintainers?

"Yaffs" or "sparse" (which is just fancy ext2). https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/images ; most Android kernels will also have exfat so they can use SD cards and USB sticks.
So they have shown their true colors, if anyone had doubt and called "knee-jerk" over community reaction to Audacity takeover. Now it's safe to say with such "leadership" Audacity will not have its "Blender moment".
Ok so what do you call the mass of people that includes:

1. In it for the cheque.
2. Believe the people who are in it for the cheque.

Given that there's very rarely an easy way to tell them apart and 2 follows 1?

Honest question.

I would lean towards calling it a wave of astroturfing given that 2 doesnt happen without 1 and 2 and 1 are inseparable, but I can potentially see the argument for using different terminology if there is something more precise.

What, though?
It is too early to displace HTML with PDF.

> PDFs used to be inaccessible

My eyes are not very good. I have trouble reading the font in the PDF. I am using Firefox. HTML lets me pick that a font that I can read easily. I cannot do that with PDF.

> PDFs used to be unreadable on small screens, but now you can reflow them.

I am using Firefox. I cannot do that.

Realistically, how many years will I have to wait until Firefox catches up?

Over twenty years ago, I learnt Web authoring by examining the source which had a profound effect on my career. That serendipitous opportunity I had with human-readable sources will be lost to the next generation with PDF - they have to learn the technology deliberately.
I get your metaphor but I don't think it meets the situation. If you were paying a security guard to watch your apartment and they instead went to guard some other place for additional money for 2 hours and then your apartment got robbed, well, that security guard is Microsoft in this example.
I specifically avoided brand names because it seemed like it might have cheapened my point, but my pan of choice is All-Clad. If I had more money I'd convert everything I have to their Copper-Core pans for even better heating. The big appeal for me with these is that they're durable as hell and can take a wide range of temps while being easy to clean/care for.

Quick question: Other than for omelettes/pancakes, what's the appeal of non-stick for you? Is this a health issue (cutting down butter/oil) or an ease of use thing? I only ask because I'm (PERSONAL OPINOIN, YMMV) not a fan. I find them much harder to clean/care for and am all too familiar with the fact that often the NS coatings degrade into really bad things which then get pulled into the food. Just looking for your opinion, not trying to start a flame war or say you're wrong.
Open source is like Open courts or Right to Information.

Just like anything going in secrets courts is bad for judicial integrity, or RTI laws can help keep government somewhat honest, Open source can help like any other transparency framework.

Just transparency is not a magic solution , open source alone is not going to solve everything. It is just one among many other controls we need.
I hope it was not Boeing ;)
After the second startup I'd worked at (NYC based, founded by ex colleagues of Bezos from DE Shaw) started burning out in early 2001, I worked for a consulting company. One of our clients were the shady founders of CyberRebate, who no doubt saw the writing on the wall and were looking to put their capital into a backup product. Their idea was a "plugin" that users would install on your computer, which would proxy all internet traffic - swapping out ads for their own. In return for running it, users would earn coupons and points. Of course, CyberRebate crashed and burned in May 2001, and that contract dried up with it. I vaguely remember a horrific architecture involving EJBs (session beans perhaps) running on WebSphere - a scarring enough experience that I studiously avoided J2EE (although stuck with JVM languages) since.

After that gig fizzled up, I moved to the bay area (in the midst of the tech drought) and did construction gigs sourced from craigslist to pay the bills while attempting to start a brick & mortar retail business. Eventually tech picked back up and I got back behind a screen.
It's not just the caffeine itself - that's one aspect. It's promoting the "use this to not sleep" recurring lifestyle choice, which some kids do come to rely on.

This gets worse with Monster and others pushing the caffeine limits. (I remember a free Monster giveaway at uni - could not sleep for close to 30h - that stuff is not healthy)
But you can't easily tell PDF/A and regular PDF apart, so we're back to the same situation as HTML vs. HTML with javascript turned off.
Economy of thought.

In my opinion, subtyping declares a "is" relationship, and coercions declare a "can be viewed as" relationship. You would want both in Practal. Subtyping is more tricky than coercions in the sense that if done wrongly, it can introduce inconsistencies, while coercions cannot (they just may fail to be unique).

For example, ℕ should be a subtype of ℝ. Because a natural number IS a real number. Let's say you have the theorem `∀ x : ℝ. P x` for some predicate `P`. With subtyping, also the theorem `P n` holds for any `n : ℕ`. With coercions, only the theorem `P (c n)` holds, where `c : ℕ → ℝ` is the coercion. Now you have an additional constant `c` in your theorem. It makes things more complicated than they have to be. Sure, some pretty printing and nifty automation can help you a lot here, but why would you want to deal with that added coercion tax in the first place for cases where you don't have to?

What if a bit flips in your hash file and changes that? Now you need to store your hash a bunch of times too!

I kid, this is what I do. I've recently been backing up my family photos/videos to various media and I've been hashing each file and storing a hash file alongside the media to compare to in the future.
OMG, I've been dreaming of this tool for years. Thank you!
Ansible has pretty much the same capabilities for managing machines as Terraform have. The fact that it reads the actual state instead of keeping it locally makes for one less headache.
At minimum you probably need HTML, CSS, SQL and a back-end language (which could be anything). One of the hardest parts is the nested comments. Building the moderation system may be a large task. Here's my ongoing attempt:

> Since it's a question of facts

Is it?

I think it's an opinion.

How would you empirically test if the answer was right or wrong? What's on Wikipedia is also someone's opinion, isn't it? What's in a book that Wikipedia references is again someone's opinion.

If you can't write a program or other set of instructions to test it... it's an opinion.

'How does Dr Foo say that MVC maps to database-server-client?' would be a question of fact though.
While I agree with the thesis, I believe it it possible to do things like this with vanilla HTML. For example, I created a search engine that is just a static HTML page: www.locserendipity.com

Or dang thought to cut this fruitless tangent off at the knees. I am perfectly happy with the new headline, because it means the same thing as the old. If I were dang I'd change it too, for that reason. The new headline is still a damning indictment of US media.

You can't directly compare power output from induction vs. gas. On an induction stove that 1500 W is nearly all useful heat with little or no variance. With gas a highly variable amount of that is lost to the air, dependent on cooking vessel size/shape.
I've never understood the appeal of photorealistic art anyways, so I'll be happy to be labeled a snob that likes art that looks like art.
Can we come up with regenerative cooling of the food? I'll have to eat everything lukewarm, but think of the impact on the environment!
> So, converting from natural gas to electricity would actually increase carbon emissions in many parts of the US.

Yes, but the plan is a more clean grid in the future. If you are building a new home now then this calculus (hopefully) will not hold in 20 years. If we've got a clean grid but everybody is still using gas to heat their homes, we've still got a huge problem.
You know what's a USD stable-coin backed by government?

The USD.

My money is already mostly digital, represented by moving around numbers in databases. I handle cash very rarely.

I don't need my money to be cryptographically secure, I need access to my money to be cryptographically secure.

I think that's something crypto-enthusiasts skip over, they're focusing on a tangential issue.
I'm actually kind of surprised that this hasn't happened yet, with the security concerns around how capacitive portals work.

I'm not super familiar with how the Wi-Fi connection process works, but I would expect that a URL for a capacitive portal could be provided during the connection handshake
==You would not be nitpicking such word choices if you were not looking for a crack to gain leverage in the conversation.==

You would not be defending title manipulation if you were not trying to defend your own perceived leverage.
I think it is because PDF is a document first, and HTML often hard to save/file.

PDF is also able to create with design in mind, in a document creation app, which after decades of HTML is still hard to do I think.
If you can keep your eyes on the bulldozer, it is easy to know when to jump away. A better analogy is that you are doing it blindfolded.

Why don't they just use a static subset of HTML? You don't have to include comments sections, just like you don't have to include 3D CAD models and videos in your PDFs (yes you can do both of those, in theory anyway).
Lol. Love it. Don't use Microsoft, instead become an expert in cisco OS and Linux and don't spend ay time generating anything of economic value but instead spend all your time securing your infrastructure and doing pen tests.

(yes, if you are expert open source is easier top secure maybe, at least that was my experience 20+ years ago. Now I mostly pay companies like microsoft to host my stuff so I can do billable shit).
Definitely less freedom. On html I the reader can change the size of text or even the font and the text will reflow so you don't need scroll horizontally to read each line. How do you do that to a pdf?
The new headline is perfectly acceptable and means the same thing as the old. This has been my position in this conversation since the start.
How do you know they're not doing exactly that? For every 1 vulnerability that gets disclosed, we have no clue how many potential vulnerabilities were caught by security testing or practices. The entire nature of security is that it's impossible to have literally 0 vulnerabilities.
Exactly, it's just that "Teen accused of shoplifting due to unreliable data entry" doesn't get as many clicks. It's not like the database itself was unreliable, or the facial recognition was unreliable.
Ironically, Google's Pixel build of Android does not include UDF support - the filesystem does not work on a USB stick like FAT32...
As far as I know, it is nothing specific to Firefox. You can't set your own PDF font or reflow a non-reflowable PDF in any browser.

> That is really not how extradition works.

> The judge must be satisfied that the conduct amounts to an extradition offence (dual criminality)

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/extradition-processes-and-review...

That is from the section discussing extradition to the US. Clearly you are wrong.

That said, out of your example only “illegally sourcing” the information is potentially illegal. The information I read previously released by the US supporting this claim was extremely weak. I personally would never have supported the extradition on the evidence I saw were I on a grand jury tasked with it. That said, the UK of course needs to decide that it is extraditable on their end as well. You have argued this isn’t the case for a few posts now. Clearly you’re incorrect. That is the point I intended to make.
> If everyone in NYC switched to electric heat, the grid would certainly fail.

Not to mention cost of heating in the winter would balloon to comical heights. Housing costs would also increase, but to a less degree, since utilities are a part of housing costs. Resistive heating is absurdly electricity intensive.

This is the first time I hear the term "solarpunk". So this seems to encompass visions of an optimistic future when exploitation of nature, pollution, climate change etc. And strikingly, looking up the definition made me feel an almost juvenile excitement about an idea again which I haven't experienced in a long time. That made me realize that most contemporary visions of the near(er) future seem so bleak and dreadful in comparison. But, if we paint our future as this thoroughly unattractive place, then what motivation remains to make progress?
I read this entire document. If you've ever had to write a PDF-to-text parser - and God help you, I have - you will beg for Flash to come back as a web standard.

[edit] Generally though, I'm sympathetic with your point and it's kind of like why zines regained popularity in the 90s (and samizdat in the Soviet Union before that)... controlling your own publishing is a powerful idea. Anyone can do that though, without resorting to obscure formats, unless obfuscation is the point.
My personal experience with that situation is that half the people grow up with no desire to eat sweets and the other half end up with an eating disorder. It’s a gamble, but if you get lucky it’ll pay off with a lifetime of stable blood sugar.

Yes, I should have added that I see nothing wrong with the replacement of key with keystone here. Not sure what the big issue is. I was just surprised that someone who does object to it assumes a HN posting has been deliberately crafted to mislead when it could simply have been an innocent error.
I have to wonder if this is true.

Suppose you find a mushroom that obviously bruises blue and generally matches the phenotype of whatever local psilocybe grows in your area. What's your risk?

I looked into galerina poisonings, being the most similar mushroom I can think of off the top of my head that might poison you, but there are so, so few cases. Maybe 1 every two years? Given how many people forage for magic mushrooms, I have to wonder if the risk is really there.

Open to having my mind changed. I've been foraging for about 10 years, but this is not something I know a whole lot about, except for that I never hear about it.
A job interview is also you judging the company and people you’re applying to join. If you feel the team lead can’t handle you answering questions honestly because it might reveal one of his or her blind spots, that’s not a great sign.
* PDFs are self-contained and offlineable

HTML can easily be offline-able. Base64 your images or use SVG, put your CSS in the HTML page, remove all 2-way data interaction, basically reduce HTML to the same performance as PDF and allow it to be downloaded.

* PDFs are files

HTML is files

* PDFs are decentralised

This should be "PDFs can be decentralised". PDFs aren't inherently any more decentralised than any other kind of file, including HTML.

The store is the thing that becomes decentralised, not the content.

* PDFs are page-oriented

HTML can be page-oriented. Simply build your website with pagination. PDFs can also be abused to have hugely long pages. Bad UX can be encapsulated in any medium.

* PDFs used to be large (bla bla bla Javascript weighs a lot)

Nope, PDFs are still objectively larger than the equivalent HTML. PDFs don't have any dynamic interaction, rip all that out and produce the HTML of yesteryear and your HTML will be tiny in comparison to the PDF.

Edit: I'm sorry, the more I think about this the dumber I feel. The web is useful because it's 2-way. I am excited by the web because I can interact with other people. I come to hacker news to engage with thinkers, not to just read a published article from one single author. I want to read ad-hoc opinions and user submitted content. PDF web, really?

They should better improve reflow for HTML on small devices first. Focusing on PDF is a waste of resources.

Blackmail is a valid explanation if you don't have another more powerful recourse. But they do, they can just report them to the law.

Is it intended as a threat then? Perhaps. But a threat is still much better than the nuclear option of reporting him.

What else could they do between (a) asking him (which they seem to have done already), (b) threatening him with reporting him, and (c) reporting him? Bend over and take it?
It's important in finance.
