That doesn't fit in with the empirical data that has shown us that -- country wide right now -- people have fled the cities for the burbs. You can make up an anecdotal poor, but that doesn't mean it matches reality. By and large, those with means have left the city, and it shows

Preregistering does not mean anything about sharing actual results. the large majority of negative outcomes are NEVER published. Please don't spread misinformation.
Or you can have a fixed delivery date, but not a fixed feature set. If a feature isn't ready by the release date, it gets pushed to the next release. If you deliver often as agile encourages, this is a fairly short delay.
This book was life changing for me. I also watched '12 Angry Men' around the same time as I read the book. I sometimes joke that these should be required reading or watching before someone is allowed to post an internet comment.
for the most part, HN is pretty squarely in the 'windows bad linux good' camp. It is dumb af since according to a lot of the users on here, linux is gods gift to humanity.

Best experience watching the Olympics: a hotel lobby in England. Complete coverage, no chatter, no delays, and no commercials.
Would they really know if you were truly in a sensitive positions? I’m sure janitors, food service workers, and front desk people went through the OPM process. There are probably a lot of people working in government buildings that don’t even use a computer.
I basically do the same thing. Why bother figuring out how to run Netflix with DRM on Linux and pay for the pleaser of a subpar libary when my little Raspberry Pi Seedbox, a 5$/Month VPN and Membership in a private Tracker gets me everything I want without the hassle or annoying DRM to deal with.

But we are not the ones that will be hit by this. It's the normies and computer illiterates that will have to deal with the issue. And god save us from the politicians that will make OSes that can pirate content just plain illegal.

The problems may be real, but blaming CSS for them is both unfair and unconstructive.

You want CSS to solve this problem that other tools and workflows introduce? `article .content img { width: auto;
display: block; max-width: 100%; }`. This is not the solution, but one of many possible.

> ... step back and understand where its current width is coming from, and determine how that flow can be shifted upstream to achieve the desired result.

Step back here is seeing that large images in certain containers push the container out and that you want to avoid this.

If you want CSS to avoid the problems you list, in the first place: that is just unconstructive: The tooling, holiday schedule, poor migrations, and broken upgrades are causing the issues, the constructive solution would be to fix those. And if you cannot, to look at how CSS can help you with them.

> Now you need to confirm this works for all existing and future possible images, good luck with that.

This is not hard at all. It is what both the C in CSS and classes and inheritance solve for you. `img.leader` vs `img.aside` vs `article p.teaser img` vs `article img` etceteras.
Absolutely, and the gap is so deceptive - it doesn't look like there's that much of a gap when you watch the pros. Like I watch pro badminton players, and compared to the best guys at my club who've trained for 10+ years it looks like they both play the same. But the guys at my club have no hope of winning provincial level tournaments here - like they're lucky to even make the quarterfinals, 0% chance of beating the top few players in the province. And the guy that wins provincial level tournaments here has no hope of winning national level tournaments - he rarely makes it past the first round, 0% chance of beating the top 5 players in the country. And the guys that win national level tournaments here have no hope of winning high grade international level tournaments - they could maybe pull an upset on a top 10 player 5-10% of the time.

But from my position, it's easy to watch the pros play and think "wow, that looks doable in 10 years of hard work". Yet so many people have put in that much work and still are effectively as far away from those pros as I am.

Interesting site, but as nearly everyone is getting a two-dose type it's not helpful.

The three you mention bought billions, with intentions for any one of them to be enough for domestic use and still have enough for the third world. The UK has only ever used two. Supply of jabs in the country would be an interesting stat to measure, I'm pretty sure the UK was supply limited until recently.
Yes. This confusion of spellings is due to English having a long history of literacy. The k in knock is silent, but once was pronounced. The pronunciation of knock changed but its spelling did not. Nevertheless, there are historical reasons for these various spellings, its not just "whatever". In any case, these are English words, not foreign words.

English words follow specific conventions. This is why English speakers who read "bruschetta" will not pronounce the ch with a hard k, as Italians do. Unless they are told this pronunciation is "incorrect". If it's really important to bruschetta marketers that English speakers pronounce it the way Italians do, they should consider spelling it using English conventions, eg brusketa

As you pointed out, English spelling is confusing. We don't need to add to the cognitive load by insisting that words spelled according to foreign conventions be pronounced that way too
(Author here) Yeah, this. I probably wouldn't have done this if the desk hadn't had an anti-collision feature. I made an edit to the article to explain.

I think I see what the question is now. A type is defined by picking how its values are introduced and/or used. It doesn’t mean that those rules have to be actually productive. In fact there are many kinds of uninhabited types (the empty type being the simplest, but in languages with rich type systems there are many others).
Disinformation/narratives' control has always been present:

There are some examples I can think of:

- Manifest Destiny.
- Spanish American 1989 war because (Maine sinking).
- The gulf of Tokin incident.
- The Nayirah testimony.
- Irak's WMD.

I think the issue here is that the some western governments are failing to control information, and their citizens are now being preyed by other governments' disinformation campaigns (Russia, China).

Does this worries me? Yes, of course. The level of fracture in some societies (USA, UK, for example) is increasing. How could we enact some defenses against them? Don't know.
A New Way to Obtain GP Data (a.k.a. TLEs)
In many cases this would be true. I think people would be a bit shocked if every pound of steel or concrete they bought came with a carbon tax attached, for example.

But in the case of dishwashing vs. hand washing you are already paying for the decreased efficiency in the form of your water and heating bill. The issue is that most of us have no way to measure the relative hot water consumption of either, so we’re left with the heuristic of “more convenient is less efficient”.

Basically what the other comments said. I specifically work on data stuff so it's all python and java/scala on linux servers.
Heavily terrain dependent, this. You need the low rolling hills, at most, for length in miles to be useful. As "length of a tramp" based on a 2D grid doesn't account for ascent/descent if needed.

I've met hills I can ascend in 5 hours, and hills that took 9 hours, and both were the same gain in height.

In my country, backcountry travel is best described by time, not kilometres.
> In May, several French and German social media influencers received a strange proposal. A London-based public relations agency wanted to pay them to promote messages on behalf of a client. A polished three-page document detailed what to say and on which platforms to say it. But it asked the influencers to push not beauty products or vacation packages, as is typical, but falsehoods tarring Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine.

If any foreign power wants to destabilize a country this is a good way to go. Each time that there it's any stressful event create opposite sides and make them fight.

Of course, there is a degree of 'fallout' where the influence can reach the attacking country. So, the destabilization creates ripples around the world. And all because 'influencers' seem to operate outside any industry self-regulation or state rules. And many people is unprepared to fight against messages send by, otherwise, producers of quite innocuous content.

And the comments, and opinions do not need to make sense, just need to create enough noise so the general population does not know who to trust anymore. Want country inn that state will be debilitated and open for further foreign interference.

I think they many people is learning to see the noise, to see the people screaming nobody can be trusted, but it will take time until we're have good social mechanisms to fight misinformation.
International coverage is lightyears better than US.
Another templated article from the so specialized nytimes, so textbook it hurts.

Checkboxes checked, as coarse as they are:

Use maximum chutzpah implanting the idea that the new order of things is permanent and irreversible

Do that on every occasion, appropriate or not, ever so persistent

Briefly touch on the implications of a new idea, but paint a luring picture of alleged advantages to sell the idea

Describe how ostensibly eager people are to lap it up right now and en masse

Of course, don't hesitate to localize and amplify out-of-place alreadisms - "QR codes may be new to many American shoppers, but they have been popular internationally for years in Japan"
I asked this exact question in Japan. The usual answer was "because it is safer" - when I asked to elaborate what "safer" meant, I was met with annoyed stares. Questioning things isn't really known in Japan, if someone sometime decided that it's safer, then that's what it is.

Apart from some boutique startups, UX isn't even a thing in Japan. Similar to how it worked in the 80s in the US, UX is done by the same people who engineer the application who have no formal training or talent in UX.
Calling it "basically disinformation" doesn't dispute the logic that is inherent in the statement.

Willfully putting healthy people at risk of severe injury or death with an experimental, untested drug is a violation of the Nuremburg Code, and everyone administering the Covid vaccines will be held to account.

> In February, Bitfinex and several Tether affiliates agreed to pay $18.5 million to settle claims from New York Attorney General Letitia James that the firms hid losses and lied that each token was supported by one U.S. dollar.

Can anyone explain this because I'm not familiar with the legal framework here - they paid to settle with NYAG? So you pay and then having potentially broken a law isn't a problem anymore? How does this work?

> By phase 3 they should have to preregister the study and identify the outcomes they will measure. There isn't much room for p-hacking at this point.

Not all Phase 3 with negative outcomes are published. It's actually the opposite. Most of them are not. So preregistration achieves nothing in terms of transparency.

And p-hacking still happens far more often than you think - I have personally seen trials where they identified "sub-groups" of patients in order to prove that there were patients for which said drugs worked. That's a thing, no matter what you decided to set in the first place as objective.

And then there's stuff like Biogen's alzheimer drug for which no efficacy was proven but still received FDA commercialization approval. Everything is working just peachy, right?

* overwriting a folder deletes existing contents, rather than merging them

* weird scroll acceleration that makes clicky scroll wheels unusable
"net" is the keyword here.
Well there is your exaggeration: you claim ‘hundreds’ while the article states ‘25’. Which is pretty similar to ‘couple dozen’.

These items are hard to get on Amazon too unless you buy them in bulk. I guess because to list them on Prime they need to be profitable to ship by themselves, they can’t list single bolts for $0.30 each. Fortunately hardware stores are still good sources of these

It’s also a problem with cheap plastic crap. Either you pay $9 for something that actually only costs $0.80 each off Alibaba or you buy a pack of 3 for $12. Amazon really needs to come back with a way to buy really cheap stuff if you’re also making some minimum margin/amount purchase on other things in the same order

I think you're saying that recovery from infection provides better immune response than a vaccine. This is flatly false:

re-infection does happen too.

> useless experimental vaccine

The various COVID vaccines are not in any way useless.
Current double digit daily mortality figures in the UK, with the same number of cases same as January, which had high three digit mortality figures, demonstrate this starkly.

Do not reduce it to binary yes/no thinking. COVID vaccines are _neither_ perfect, not useless.

You are a disinformation vector. We are the worse for your presence in this conversation.
I feel like NBC took a huge step back from the Olympics app from 5 years ago. It had a good organization of sports with schedules and the ability to watch replays or live events. AFAIK, streaming-wise, Peacock is the only want to watch them this year and the interface is terrible for this. Just trying to browse what is available made me decide to skip attempting to watch the games, I was willing to subscribe to Peacock too.
It seemed like in the old days you had to read the Petzold book to learn Windows programming. It actually explained what was going on underneath the hood. And if you wanted more, you'd read something by Jeffrey Richter, David Solomon, or Mark Russinovich.

Now? You watch a couple YouTube videos, or perhaps a terrible Apress book. You get something to appear on the page, and viola!, you're a programmer.

Agreed. The similarity I see between these two (which is what I think at least partially mc32 was getting at) is freedom of choice. Both are/were fighting for their freedom to choose. For better or worse it is always better to let freedom of expression be allowed. I’m not watching the olympics this year (not sure why) but I appreciate the Norwegian team’s expression: focus on my merit not my body. By threatening disqualification and/or fining they are denying at least some potential olympians from expressing themselves at the olympics. In essence they are being denied the ultimate “freedom of expression” of the human body - to compete in the olympics.
Computers Are Bad
Canvas doesn't bring you do Windows/X11, Canvas brings you to a basic VESA driver where you're plotting pixels manually. You think the JS framework churn is bad now when all of those frameworks are just layers over HTML, just imagine the world we're looking at if everybody is writing their own full GUI framework to work with canvas. At least with JS framework hell everything is guarenteed to have the same output format that we can then interact with with our common set of HTML tools, with Canvas all bets are off.

I get where you're coming from, I really do. HTML5 and CSS are just bad tools for doing GUIs. But there is so much infrastructure built up around them that just overrules any advanage we would get hand rolling a GUI directly rendered to canvas.
It makes sense that if the participation rate for women is lower, then the attrition rate is also higher, no? Or what was your point?

There is a variety of possible reasons this is happening, and the same effects can be seen in business (smaller ratio of female CEOs than employees) and other competitive sports historically dominated by men.

A simple system is not the same as a system that is simple to use. The latter is often described as "easy" rather than "simple" in the development circles I've been in (and I think is also the way rich hickey said it in his "simple made easy" talk that popularized the difference).

I've stopped playing chess as a teenager having reached ~2360. I was national youth champion, a vice-champion, 5th in the world at one point. I played 100+ games every year. Each game could last up to 5-6h. Some games were exhausting, some not. After each game you had to prepare for another one - study your opponent's games, prepare openings and variants. This effort took tool on some and older players were visibly weird, plenty were alcoholics. I used to say that football (soccer) players have bended legs, chess players have bended minds.

Anyway, if you want to make chess your profession (you don't need to be a GM to make a living), keep your mind healthy!
