I think the comparison of carbon footprints between the average westerner and the global south seems to indicate these issues aren’t about the raw number of people and absolutely to do with lifestyle.

There's so so many. The software is the easiest part, building your community is the hard part.

So many people think it's enough to throw up a site and get members (build it and they'll come) but you need to live on it for it to grow.

That said though, if you're serious just write your own, all the avaialable software has different fail points/limits and none of them will meet your idea of what a community software should be.
Lol, well at least you didn't have to worry about figuring out how you'd pay your bills after you become exonerated.
One does not have to believe "that the supernatural claims behind these rituals are real in some literal sense" to be very wary of this sort of stuff - magick is not something that works along "literal" lines in the first place! Anything that you do in a serious magickal ritual (and if you're intending to "sell your soul", that definitely qualifies!) can have very real and long-lasting effects in the spiritual plane. That's what's especially troubling about this: it's definitely doing something, that something it's doing is going to be very much not-nice (since you're expressly intending to deal with malevolent beings) and we don't even know what exactly is happening! It's just madness unless you happen to be very familiar with this sort of left-hand path stuff, and even then there's plenty of reason to be very careful since you're straying way off from even most acknowledged "left-hand path" stuff (which is ultimately about skillfully leveraging evil and chaotic forces in ways that will accomplish some greater Good).
One needs to be careful when reading assessments and research. I want to add that the European Commission leads much of the funding of research organizations, and they also expect something in return.

The question is why should we be fine with the European Commission pushing their agenda? Being a politician is a job, like it is being a manager of a trillion dollar company. It doesn't magicaly guarantee that you are protecting the social greater good.

There's a lot to be done to address digital divide especially for the elderly.

The other week I witnessed first hand how multiple 50-something folks who own smartphones struggled with something as easy as filling a form on a website for making an appointment (in this case for getting a passport) and confirming the appointment by clicking an email.

Or think about the thousands of vulnerable/old people who will die of COVID-19 because they failed to schedule their vaccinations even though they could otherwise access it. A friend who works in Berlin on radiotherapy for cancer patients said lots of them aren't vaccinated because they just can't sign up for it and their doctor doesn't do it for them.

Anything that requires using technology, even as simple as using a browser and getting a confirmation email should be probably be also made available by more familiar/accessible tools such as SMS/whatsapp/facebook or a call center.

It’s a good read but I find it pretty bias as well. I certainly don’t think Xi is stupid though. He has shown time and time again to be a good strategist, even if you don’t like his ruthlessness.
Going to disagree. I ran circles around contemporary x86 back in the early '90s because of specific instructions Intel denied they would ever need in their processor roadmap. But it really didn't matter and that's one of the most important lessons of my career.

They did similar goofy thinking with respect to the magic transcendental unit on GPUs so it's not like they ever learned. It's not entirely about clock rate.
There is surprisingly little unsold inventory, outlets are selling cheaper versions of clothes not unsold inventory. Of course not every design or brand succeeds, but the industry as a whole is reasonably efficient.
> Would you need the css?

Since this DOM would be invisible, hidden behind the canvas, I'd say you'd need just enough CSS to make each element have the same bounding box as the original. Bonus points if you can safely do enough CSS to make the font size and colors match; screen readers do have commands for querying those things.

> And mutations to this dom would need to be tightly synced to image updates to not confuse the hell out of nvda?

Chromium has already taken pains to make sure this works, because its whole accessibility implementation is dependent on pushing tree updates from the renderer process to the main process.
Broken TZ does not mean the algorithms are broken, only that exploits exist to bypass TZ. Fixing the exploits doesn't break anything about the algorithms for decode / decrypt.
Several months ago I asked the Flutter engineering director[1] this question[2] on a Flutter 2 HN submission:

> I don't understand how breaking accessibility with Flutter wouldn't mean that companies that use it on the web are violating the ADA.

And didn't get a response.

I'm still left wondering how a company that adopts Flutter on the web wouldn't be violating the ADA by breaking accessibility.

Lightmatter is apparently shipping their photonic accelerator to early adopters right now https://lightmatter.co/products/envise/

They claim quite big performance uplift over current GPUs and even better performance per watt figures.

However I haven’t seen independent benchmarks for their Envise ASIC yet.

They seem to be using a different method with an external laser to “power” the chips using fiber optic cables rather than integrating solid state lasers into the silicon. It’s also not based on LCD technology like early attempts at photonic computing which was essentially a sandwich of LCD screens and solid state detectors and amplifiers.
I think people are conflating my interpretation of personal agency with agreeing with the practice; I don't buy products that do these things, I'm merely explaining that by using this item and agreeing to their terms, it is in fact not spying, because you're informed ahead of time what will happen. Someone not reading the contracts they sign does not void the terms of the contracts.

I might just being dense or, perhaps more generously, completely un-self-aware, but I genuinely don’t understand the premise of this argument.

Internal resistance is an attempt to avoid the pain we associate with successfully doing the thing.

We subconsciously believe that succeeding in doing something — that we’ve presumably never done before — will cause us some “emotional pain”, thus we go to lengths to avoid it? If what we’re attempting is novel, how could we possibly know that? Even if we were to assume that, why would this “pain” override the elation of success?

I can understand the argument that people procrastinate because of the fear of failure…but the fear of success? I don’t get it.
It's not though. And for a topic such as this where people in academia are going to be obviously biased, citation is all the more important.
I don't think "fair" is a good word for it (although I know the GP used it.) The reason we have a special women's category is because half the population are women, and they would be almost entirely excluded from high level sport as a group if expected to compete against the highest ranking men.

The categories of world-class sport should really be "women" and "everyone." If women want to (and have the physical ability to) compete in "Men's" sports, they should always be allowed to - unless they dominate in a particular sport, in which case a special exclusionary men's version should be created.

That being said, we do have both the Special Olympics and an enormous number sports organizations of segregated by age and geographic location. You can start a swimming championship segregated by arm length, but people probably won't like it enough to watch, which is the real point. It's entertainment. Women's tennis is better to me because women don't serve/hit as hard, therefore more returns and longer exchanges. That's got nothing to do with "fairness."
As someone about to migrate from Mercurial to Git i absolutely agree that Git is the superior tool.

Pull Requests were never going to happen with Mercurial and it's also not possible to delete a branch without some black magic server-side.

And with Git hopefully it will be possible to move to Trunk-based development, although that requires a lot more than just switching to Git.

Does this handle (lots of) (sometimes large) page updates, particularly across a semi-slow, semi-reliable network? Think lazy loading, sPA-style diff-based page transitions, or realtime progress bars. What about element positions (i.e. for switch control overlays that visually mark specific elements on the page)? Assuming this just sends keys directly to the remote browser, what about cursor-related events in editing fields? If latencies are over a few ms with those, some screen readers get confused.

I'm very curious about this, why doesn't it work? I can understand it may be hard for smaller companies to add an entirely new location since it would change team dynamics. But for large corps already having teams across regions, why wouldn't the concentration shift heavily towards lower cost regions?
Companies pay you minimum you're willing to accept. People don't have a habit of accepting jobs they know will cause their personal budgets to run red.
> This response is 100% victim blaming.

I lock my front door at night and I imagine you do too. In an ideal society no crime occurs, and we can all leave our doors unlocked at night. In reality - if we can make small changes to our lifestyle to limit our exposure to risk, we tend to do them.

But that all rides on the assumption that I accept the designation of 'victim' - I already argued against 'Listen to and believe women'. The author speaks of feeling a very feel threat of an anthrax attack, one that is likely inflated. Based on that, it's not unreasonable to believe that other claims in the article may also be inflated.

> It's not like they produce everything and public opinion decides in the end what is "cool".

To the contrary, public opinion does decide. Brands are trying to guess what will sell and be in fashion, and produce that. But they get it wrong all the time, as sales plummet for a particular season collection because consumers don't like it but really like another designer who guessed better.

The fashion industry isn't monolithic. There isn't one person deciding what gets produced. Ultimately it is all consumer-led as brands compete to try to produce what people will buy -- and they know fashion-conscious people don't want to buy what was for sale the previous year. But individual brands get tastes wrong all the time -- even well-known brands have seasons where they just totally mess up.

Ha I get you, I tend to have a low opinion of Apple products so I try to temper my assumptions and ask questions about the products with an open mind.

Hm, my understanding is that this combination of positives wasn't especially novel in the wireless headphone market. Was it?

As far as the design, I tend to think Apple has historically excelled at design, to the point that my favorite phones aesthetically have been shameless Samsung rip-offs of iPhone designs. But I don't see this reputation lived up to in their last few products: eg, the square Apple Watch is a lot uglier than the contemporary (at launch) round Motorola offering. And I personally find Airpods to look like hearing aids; I was recently in the market for high-quality Bluetooth headphones and the Airpods' hideousness is part of what knocked them out of the running.
True, though many of the examples in the article, are from Old English using English derivations. Rue, ruth, ruthful, ruthless. The middle two have been so long forgotten Firefox gave them red squiggles. We rarely use some of the Old English suffixes and prefixes productively, retained mostly in fixed forms. Core Anglo-Saxon roots had a large space of valid, or possibly valid, words: wield, unwield, a-wield, wielder, unwieldy, wieldy, wieldingful, wieldingless, wieldingfulness, wieldinglessness, wieldinghood, unwieldinghood, a-wieldingful, a-wieldinglessness, and so on.

The Old English equivalent of unwieldinghood would be something like, the condition of being unarmed or unable to control something, and I bet it had the same emasculating subtext it implies to my modern English mind. Perhaps not and maybe it would come to mean something like demilitarization, if we had kept it. Either way, we do not know as it is a long dead language without the abundance of sources like with Latin to cast light on the finest shades of meaning. 'Wieldingfulness' would be a noun meaning an abundance of wielding, close to but distinct from strength, perhaps implying confidence, and something one hopes the army has. Or maybe the Supreme Court's judges would have wieldingfulness; we still wield the law today and it could have come to mean mental adroitness and intensity, as to wield was also about will, not just physically grasping. 'A-wieldinglessness' might be incompetency at taking up arms, or holding a leadership position, or responding to a challenge, and perhaps suggests... slow on the draw, clumsy, flailing about? I think. Who knows? They are not real words after all; though they could have been.

Using Polar Coordinates to Visualize Covid-19 Impact
I had listened to an interview with the original cleartype author on a podcast almost a decade ago now.

IIRC He said that when Apple got the cleartype patent (due to the Apple/Microsoft cross patent agreement that happened in the late 90s), they kinda messed up the implementation of cleartype and Windows actually implements it correctly and Mac OS X (now Mac OS) doesn't.

So I find this somewhat amusing.

I wonder if one day Thunderbolt+DisplayPort+USB hybrid (what some Type-C ports of today already are) will become the only connection interface we will use. It can replace HDMI (with a small and cheap adapter for HDMI-only displays), PCIex slots, OCuLink (not really an expert on these but why not?) and obviously SATA which already falls out of relevancy quickly. So why do we even need anything but full-featured Thunderbolt ports?
I don’t need a union. I tell my employer “either I work remotely or I am gone to one of the ten job solicitations I get a week”. Tech workers have enormous individual leverage and there are so many job opportunities out there — the power is already in your hands.

> Xi also overreached by challenging the US too soon rather than bide his time and wait another couple of decades by which point China could have weaned itself from dependence on the US for tech like semiconductor fabrication and been much less vulnerable.

Yes but he wouldn’t be alive by then. It also helped unite his citizens to a common enemy to ensure he had continuing support while he selectively purged powerful party members that wasn’t on his side. I am sure he weighted the consequences and determined China was economically powerful enough for a long fight.
Thanks for helping break it down. I'll address it using your help.

> But that presumes that humans are uniquely superior to recognize this over all other carnivors [sic].

It doesn't need to involve a value judgment that we are somehow "superior". It just requires recognizing the obvious, that we are indeed uniquely sapient. Furthermore the argument for killing animals is using the flawed appeal to nature, which doesn't work for rape or any other of the countless "natural" activities we overcame with our sapience.
I'm happy to see that I'm not alone in my struggles with jq. I wanted to love it right out of the box. It appears to be very well engineered, but over and over again I have struggled with it's syntax.

What I think I want is a syntax closer to css selectors. What I think I'm going to have to do is really stop and learn jq. It looks like some of the links in here may help.
You can’t “solve” climate change via mitigation as the simple act of building infrastructure has an associated cost. The only thing you can do is minimize cost. Canadians buying air conditioners for example would reduce the numbers of dead in coming heat waves, but they’re not free.

It’s not even just about economic impact. Mandating all roofs be painted white for example has a tiny mitigating effect, but while the economic cost is low enough to justify people don’t want to be forced to paint their roofs white.

It's bizarre that neither the README nor the associated minimal site explains what it does in detail, with screenshots or anything.

I'm assuming this is a modern version of GDI++, which a decade ago brought Mac-style font rendering to Windows, but stopped being maintained a while ago.

For people who aren't aware of the difference, it's essentially that Windows uses heavy font hinting to try to align character strokes with pixel boundaries which produces sharper letterforms at the cost of distortion of the aesthetic personality of the font, while Mac antialiases more to faithfully maintain the accurate letterforms of a typeface, at the cost of being blurrier.

It's basically the tabs-vs-spaces debate of font rendering. Nobody's "right", it's just personal preference. Fortunately, high-resolution "retina" style displays make the distinction much less important, in the same way that it's entirely irrelevant in high-resolution printing.
It's a legal process. At the bare minimum it has to uniquely identify you.

Google is an advertising company, with some hobby businesses in cloud or self-driving cars. It doesn't get much more middleman than that.

Didi committed the sin of going ahead with a US listing against explicit orders from the government, in the context of an economic cold war with the US. China has plenty of capital, it's not as if we're in the 1970s and the US is the only way to go. You can bet that if JP Morgan Chase wanted to shift its headquarters to Hong Kong, the US would also take swift action. What the Chinese are doing with foreign listings is not all that different from what the US does with CFIUS.

Wanting to preserve privacy from private companies is not at all inconsistent with wanting the government to have total surveillance power. There are many domains where government has a monopoly, from issuing currency to the exercise of violence.

You will note Xi is cracking down in other areas that are not a plausible threat to the CCP, like bitcoin miners or the educational tutoring arms race. Sometimes, the stated agenda is the actual agenda.
