This is an interesting project—Windows’s font rendering is definitely one of the things I dislike about it the most—and they are doing themselves a disservice by not actually explaining clearly what it is or does. I wish Microsoft would provide a font rendering mode like this by default since from reviewing some of the wiki & README it sounds like this is some crazy hack that hooks into apps to intercept calls to DirectWrite and GDI and might break the entire OS.

> As is typical in Georgia, she says, “Would you mind canceling your reservation at Booking? Now that we’ve talked, I’ll keep the room and send the transfer, but why pay them a commission, right?”

So glad that I do not live in a culture like that, where everybody is trying to defraud the other, even though I could care less for the profits of some faceless corporation.
I just switched from Windows to a Mac, and I immediately found that the colors and contrast and the clarity of images and text on the same monitor I connect my laptop too improved.

I wasn't sure if it was just in my head, but something about the rendering in Mac seems better to me. I don't know if they have better calibration for colors and contrast, better anti-aliasing, etc., but I seem to see the screen much better and my eyes don't strain as much.
If you want to look at health outcomes, the average diet of the nutritionally ignorant is almost always going to be worse than a vegan diet, ignorantly planned or not. The majority of the US populace (mostly meat eating) is very unhealthy and sick due to nutritional ignorance, so this is a very weak argument. Furthermore, meat is a known carcinogen and inflammatory. Its absurd to me that health reasons are attempted to be used as an argument against plant based diets.

To be frank, using the argument that plant based diets are "privileged" is cynical and disingenuous.

I connect my Windows 10 thinkpad and my M1 macbook to the same old 1080p external screens, and I prefer the Windows 10 text rendering. The MacOS text rendering looks a bit bolder and a bit more blurry. On the laptops screen, the high pixel density hides the difference.
Year of the Linux Desktop Is Bullshit (2020)
Qualities of offices vary widely.

I once worked for a few months (thanks to an acquisition) in an open-office plan a few stories up a tall building.

Whole floor was open except HR (team room along the outside, with windows), a few meeting rooms (along the outside, with windows) and managers' offices (along the outside, with windows). All those closed-in rooms around the perimeter were fully glass, since otherwise the rest of the place would have been really damn dark. One of four walls of exterior windows was part of the main, open, office area.

The specific situation at my desk: my back to my skip-level manager's glass-walled office, whose desk faced in at my back (else other people would be able to look over the manager's shoulder as they worked, and obviously that's horrible), area behind me also a major walkway for ~1/6-1/5 of the total floor, desks were truly-open cubicle-system-construction thingies–so, "walls" are the same height as the desks, nothing resembling an actual visibility- or noise-blocking wall anywhere. The woman whose desk was directly across and facing mine often hummed to herself while "in the zone". In my line of sight, just top-left of my monitor was a large TV mounted on the central pillar (bathrooms, elevators, tiny break & coffee room) playing (muted, mercifully) company propaganda and announcement-videos and slideshows all fucking day. The floor shook when anyone walked anywhere on our ~half of it, which meant my monitor shook. Probably 150 people on that floor. So, my monitor was shaking much of the time.

There were also some pretty astounding cultural problems that overlapped (the fucking nerf-fights the balding 40-year-olds a couple desks down from me would engage in daily, to pick maybe the most minor problem), but I'm sticking just to the problems with my desk per se. I have no idea how anyone was expected to get anything done in that environment. It was hell.
Enforced accessibility would be horrible. What if I want to make an application just for me? Or a game or something else where the basic concept isn't fundamentally accessible for blind people?

A lot of the open source software I release is for one reason and one reason only: it's useful for me. I generally try to make it a bit useful for others as well, but that's mostly just a nice bonus. I do care about accessibility in general (actually, I've been meaning to ask Matt about accessibility on CLI programs) but it's not really something I think about on these kind of programs, just like I usually don't consider most use cases outside of my own. If someone were to bring it up then I'd see if something could be done (like any other issue people bring up), but this depends on my available time and "if I feel like it" as well.

The alternative would be to never release it at all and keep it in my ~/code directory. I think that would be a loss.

That doesn’t fix the employer abuse or poor treatment, it just makes it someone else’s problem, ruining the next human who comes along. Lets prevent the ruining or suffering of our fellow humans.
I usually run under linux, with C or C++ codebases. I try it every 3-6 months based on recommendations I read online, it starts fine but after a while it slows/freezes/crashes. I don't bother to do reports to microsoft anymore, wasted enough time doing that with vs studio.
That's kind of unfair, in a way. They aren't that bad. It's just that you are used to seeing people who are very good. Try making a video of yourself dancing. It doesn't look like you think. (This is a painful fact learned by any hobbyist dancer, like me.)

But it's true we don't necessarily want to see someone who is not really good. And by not good meaning that they don't spend a lot of time refining that aspect of the routine.

It is up to the sport itself to decide what they want to emphasize and how they want to judge competitions. And it is up to us as viewers to voice our opinions.

I think I am with you in my opinion of some of the dancing. I would rather see a gymnast reflect the music less rather than do some unattractive dancing.

And when it comes to differences between men's and women's floor routines, that doesn't bother me one bit.
God I hope you’re wrong.
It sounds like you're referring to "spiritual plane" as something that is a distinct metaphysical entity that exists alongside what would be normally be seen as the natural world. (In this case I mean "metaphysical" in the philosophical sense.)

I realize that "natural world" is a fraught concept in itself, but please take me in a common sense reading; basically what would be seen as natural in everyday conversation or depicted in a movie/book/etc.

Maybe that concept should be expanded or contracted or eliminated to slice up the world in the most accurate ontology that we can, or maybe we should have no ontology at all. All of those are lines of argument that have been advanced by those who believe in religion, magic, etc. But as of right now the term "natural world" does have a current common sense interpretation that most people having good-faith discussions would recognize.
I didn't use the word "solve" anywhere in my comment, can you clarify what you're referring too?
Diagnosed autistic person here. I do not use my medical condition as an excuse to create microagressions of any sort. In fact, I consider using autism as an "out" in this case to be selfish to both the person being offended as well as everyone out there with diagnosed autism.

If you're able to go to work everyday and function in society without any extra assistance, then you do not get a pass to insult others needlessly. Go home and rethink your life.
Also consider that the price of crypto is determined by people's expectations of future price; since it pays no dividends the only way to make a return is to sell it or rent it out. What effect do you think this "perpetually moving and atomizing target" would have on investors? How would a rational investor price this completely unpredictable asset? Clearly there would be a discount for risk, like a shitcoin.
Good questions. You have an especially good point about the latency of responses to cursor movement commands; the developers of NVDA and JAWS might have to rethink their approach to that.

But as far as I know, Cloudflare hasn't even tried yet.
> The irony of that is that resolving conflicts in a complicated multi-commit rebase is much more easily/efficiently done in a good GUI than on the command line.

This is an argument for a good GUI diff/merge tool, which is not necessarily the same thing as an argument for a GUI Git client; I think the two uses are being conflated a lot throughout this comment thread. I have Kaleidoscope set as my default mergetool and difftool, but I'm still working with the git CLI nearly all the time. (I use Gitup on the occasions I want to stage changes to individual sets of lines in the same file as multiple commits, and exceedingly rarely if I'm trying to do something frightening with a local as-yet-unshared feature branch. There are times being able to undo with Cmd-Z is really helpful.)
Two economists are walking down the street and pass by a hundred dollar bill without picking it up. A little while later one turns to the other and asks “was that a hundred dollar bill on the ground?” To which the other replies “nope, if it was someone would have picked it up already.”

I’m with you, this joke haunts me daily. I studied economics in undergrad, and market efficiency is such a basic tenet that it’s really hard to see opportunities that don’t just look like a mirage.
Russia could have sent material directly but that would have implicated them directly in Assad's war. In 2013, Russia wasn't as hands on as it would be a few years later, trying to keep a bit of distance from his atrocities would have been reasonable. I do admit there are other possible clients for explosive material in the area.
Great example of how fixing a problem that other people have is often much more impactful than fixing a problem that your manager has.
>If hacking is not illegal when we do it, then it will not be illegal when they do it—and “they” is increasingly becoming the private sector.

Not sure I follow the logic here. The State has a monopoly on many things that are never allowed in the private sector -- violence being the most obvious one. We don't seem to have a huge problem with the split here; why we couldn't do the same for hacking?
I wonder who owns that code?

I'm not sure if you're going to convince people about the correctness of a position if you utilize name-calling with negative connontations.

That kind of approach is frankly unproductive.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. I watched the man beach volley abd they wear long shorts.

For some reason it seems to be better from an athletic perspecuve if women in beach volley wear skimpy underwear (there is IIRC a rule for max 3 cm of panths at the side).

This is purely to show off the bottoms, nothing more.
They note that the process is so quick because there was already a large untouched forest next to it. So any deforestation next to a forest can be fixed quickly, but it would have to creep its way inward over a longer time if there was no forest nearby.
In my experience, the reason climate change doubters are so opposed is because of the “concrete and drastic measures” proposed. It has very little to do with “hard numbers and objective facts”. People are reluctant to give up their lifestyle or lose a job for the sake of “global warming”, so they focus on the possibility of it not being real instead.
They shouldn’t have to demand accommodation. That’s the point.

But reproducibility is essential for science, and it has been discussed on HN articles frequently in the past few years that this is very difficult nowadays. Let alone the maligned incentives for funding academia (you are biased to have “big breakthroughs” that catch headlines so you can get more funding, rather than getting out the truth), etc.

Just take a look at this search query for “academia” on HN:

That is an important thing to keep in mind, but keep in mind that many of these climbs follow cracks in the middle of large cliffs. I can't imagine the force it would take to move a cliff like the own shown in the link below.

As others have said, you do need to assess how solid a feature like a flake is. I live in a part of southeast Alaska that has almost no rock climbing because most of our mountains are uplifted accretion formations, so a fall on a cam likely would move the pieces of the mountain and lead to a nasty fall, with pieces of the mountain falling on you as well.

It really depends on the specifics; for something like this I suspect it's a non-trivial investment. For a lot of other things it's not that hard.

For a lot of things a18y features are just good features in general; zooming text for example is something loads of people do, not just blind or low-vision people.
I'm not sure what in my comment you were disagreeing to. Fixing the exploits would entail requiring a software update/breaking unupdatable devices.
My first side project[0] is almost four years old at this point and continues to get lots of interest and use. It’s been really fun to engage with its users.

My second side project[1] has not got nearly as much traction but also has a much smaller target audience and I haven’t really got fully finished.

I do find my professional work rewarding and valuable but there is definitely something different about the side projects. They feel like much bigger accomplishments.

Flutter is (somewhat) accessible with the help of an alternate, hidden DOM, only provided if an "enable accessibility" button is pressed, for performance reasons. Unfortunately, some privacy zealots prevented web browsers from communicating that a screen reader was detected, so we need to press an extra button anytime we visit a Flutter app.

Google Docs has had two relatively good accessibility implementations for a long time, none of which relied on the original DOM, which was hidden from screen readers. The default one relies on pushing raw strings for the screen reader to speak, while the other one (called Braille mode, as the first method couldn't provide braille display compatibility), uses more modern APIs to provide the required information in the DOM, relying on special announcements only where necessary.

This really highlights how incorrect the “nothing to fear, nothing to hide” argument is. With enough data anything we say or do which someone with authority doesn’t like can be used against us, either directly as a means to criminalise us or indirectly as a motive to find some reason to criminalise us.

Really? What company pays more than Google and is full remote like that? I’m not saying that they don’t exist but the $400k bar is hard for most remote companies to swallow.
We have one HN member here very adept in matters of interconnect: @deepnotderp

Saying from my IC design exposure really many years ago, those ultra fast, and ultra complex short range serial signalling methods are also ultra power hungry.

Past the PAM4, signalling over copper hits a power consumption wall where you can no longer get more speed by throwing more transistors at it, because any speed gains from extra signalling complexity start to be offset by the need to reduce the transmitter clock frequency to keep it from melting.

I believe PAM4 will be the swan song of sophisticated serial signalling before the industry switches to optics.

The industry possibly have one last trump cards in the sleeve: chord signalling, which is currently being developed by Kandabus. It's an extremely complex signalling scheme, with analog signal equalisation, and other signal conditioning techniques bordering on black magic. Its design cost, and complexity may well be higher than going straight to optics.
I understand. In my case most employees were in Columbus Ohio, and they had nice offices and facilities.
MacType works nice on the surface, but using it feels like a bit of a minefield, because if it interacts incorrectly with one of your programs, it can be an annoyance, and because you've gotten used to the font rendering, you might not immediately realize. When playing Riot's VALORANT, it caused massive lag spikes - and that was before I started worrying about the anticheat.
He's a Chinese-Canadian who lives in China and works as an analyst for an investment research firm. What you think of bias may simply be a different perspective from someone who is actually on the ground there.

Coverage of China in the US business press is abysmal, which is kind of surprising given how important the bilateral relationship is, but then again the US is so big, so central to the world economy and so powerful it could survive for a long time with an insular point of view, a luxury it no longer has. You will get much better coverage in Japan's Nikkei, and in specialized blogs.
Yup. Apple fonts look good because they make them all nice and chonky which avoids all the technically correct hinting that preserves actual font shape but doesn’t look as nice in the end that Windows does.

I have a metric compatible clone of the SF Mono font installed on Windows. To get it to look the same as it does on macOS, I have to use the Medium weight to account for this.

> And lots of places the flow of traffic will be 85 in a 65 and the cops are not about to hold things up.

They sure will. They'll pull a traffic break when something is wrong. They get out in front of a block of traffic, throw on their lights, and begin swerving across lanes, instructing the speeding flow of traffic to collectively slow down. I've seen cops routinely do that in both California and on the East Coast.

Cops will do that for various reasons, including safety purposes (if something has happened up ahead) or just to reassert control if they decide the flow of traffic is going too fast. Here is a safety example of it in action in Utah:

The Germans apparently do this for safety as well:

There is a common refrain in charitable organizations that are focused on helping the poor:

"Sometimes you have to feed the greedy to get to the truly needy."

In other words, the greedy will always take advantage, but that doesn't diminish the help you give to the needy. There is simply no way to totally filter for the greedy.

This doesn't really apply directly to your situation, but at least for every greedy company that benefits from free products like yours, there are a lot of jobs created and benefit to society as a whole when these companies create useful products.
69% of Americans believe climate change is real.

That's an overwhelming majority. The 'doubt' is media-created FUD being replicated to pretend to be an issue. The issue is not the population, who overwhelmingly agree this is a problem. The problem is the ruling class does not want anything sudden to be done that would endanger their investments, and rapid change away from fossil fuels and other climate-change causing investments is a danger to their interests.

A huge amount of issues in the world are manipulated to look like issues by the media. Don't fall for it!
