Wins what? Perhaps my organization is using wrong, but for the life of me I can't seem to navigate through a design presented by Figma. A link takes me to a giant white screen with all the screens in the center, far too small to see, and the only way to navigate is to zoom in, and zoom back out more or less blindly looking for the particular screen in which I'm interested. The navigation menu on the left does not appear to actually navigate to anything. It is a disaster.

EDIT: upon reviewing my post, it seems like Figma was designed and tested by people with very large monitors? It is sheer struggle for me to use it with a 13" MacBook.
This might be the worst take on George Floyd I've ever read.
This has been my experience and is also why I push to get a feature request submitted, and then ask for some link to it. Also as a customer, sometimes when I’m writing out my request I realize an existing way to get what I want without needing to wait for them.

I think space is easy to understand. It ultimate boils down to understanding the fundamentals of physics and how much interest you show.
having done both, i've gotta say being a knowledge worker who gets to freelance in my pjs is way easier than doing manual labor out in the snow for 9 hours a day or doing roofing jobs under the hot sun. to be sure i had to learn way more stuff to do what i do now but there is no comparison when it comes to the actual day-to-day labor.
16MB systems were still mainstream in 1997! Lots of 166Mhz and 200Mhz Pentium systems sold with 16MB of RAM that year.
Nothing is entirely free from risks. That's part of why we do studies on things like this. But, for example, the second study on the page you linked concludes: "At the present state of knowledge there is no positive evidence that pulsed or continuous microwave exposure in the non-thermal range confers elevated risk to the health of the brain."

The mere presence of studies on a subject does not indicate positive evidence of material risk to health.
Apart from the awesome technology, there is some great content in those instances. It's quite hard to discover genuine and exploratory DIY on youtube, small artists, etc.
That is an extremely wide net to cast as “clickbait”; the term was coined to describe Buzzfeed-style content wherein the subject matter itself is obscured but the headline is made to be attention grabbing, like “Doctors don’t want you to know this one weird trick…” or perhaps worse, an article where the headline suggests one thing but the actual story is essentially the opposite.

In fact, I’d even go as far as to say this video isn’t burying the lede, either, because it is an exploratory video that goes through a progression to the conclusion. Therefore it is not burying the lede anymore than it would be “burying the lede” for a documentary to progress chronologically.

And on top of that, while there’s nothing wrong with putting the key information in the title, an important component of being a successful content creator in any genre is in fact, coming up with engaging titles. “Why Pinball was removed” is a superior title to “Pinball was probably removed from Vista when they revamped the Windows Games” even though the latter is more information-dense.

In my opinion the worst legitimate criticism that you can level is that the answer is not as definitive as one would hope. But I don’t think what you are leveling is all that fair; it feels like criticism against the genre of video more than the actual content itself.

It wouldn’t be hurt by a tl;dw, but I’d rather follow the author to the conclusion myself, because I find the subject interesting, found the exploration interesting, and then I could understand the reasoning for the answer. If you didn’t enjoy the process that the video went through, I can only say that I would assert that you’re likely not in the target audience for that particular subset of video content and therefore it wouldn’t make sense to optimize it for you.
This is great, I love batteries-included all-in-one language runners.

Is this a totally custom interpreter? If so, what's the coverage like of ClojureScript's built-in features and functionality? Do third-party libraries generally work in it without issues?
For what it's worth, I don't disagree with you entirely. However I don't think it's as simple as being helpless victims of propaganda or other deceitful information.

Everyone has the choice to ask, "but what if they're wrong?" That simple question alone illuminates the incremental path to greater understanding (however long the journey may be). Many of these people who have been enthralled by the narrative that vaccines are dangerous and unnecessary are otherwise normal people. They're able to function in their jobs and day to day life. If they believed everything anyone told them they'd never be able to function in society, and yet they do function. Precisely because they are able to choose who and what to believe; we all do it every day! They choose to never question certain sources or authorities. It's a willful choice.
I tend to go the “make sure everyone is okay with that kind of joke first”, but there's very little practical difference between the results of these two strategies.
Yep, 3GB RAM, but Chrome eats most of that and it swaps pretty much the entire time (yup, it has a 1GB swap partition, the poor flash)... and the CPU is a 32-bit Snapdragon 800 with 4 (symmetrical) cores at 2.2GHz. FWIW, I feel it.

We had 286's running Microport Unix at the company I was at back in the 1980s. I seem to recall that we were using Microport because it was pretty cheap. Compilers and all. I could be mis-remembering.
For me, the experience of "getting a life" has been sort of like being duped by crappy infomercial products. I get excited by the prospect of the thing, but it turns out that it simply does not work as advertised. The manual is poorly translated from an original that was poorly written to begin with, and the customer support reps seemingly can't do anything except search a knowledge base that doesn't mention the problems I'm having. I can technically make it "work" with a considerable amount of effort, but the results are always underwhelming, it never gets any easier, and I get nowhere near a point where I feel like this thing is worth the hassle before I decide to just shelve it.
Not about employability. You can't really leverage cljs well without knowing JS but I'm sure you would disagree.

From the article: The damned thing was just too expensive! From Wikipedia “When introduced, a basic system with monitor and 20 MB hard drive cost US$5,498”

I respectfully disagree that price was the issue. The competition was a Sun workstation. In 1990, a sparcstation was $5k without the hard drive, a configuration that only made sense if you mounted the root filesystem using NFS, which meant you had a more expensive machine with a hard drive on your LAN.

Apple could have succeeded in the workstation space, but they were a consumer focused company.

You are funny. If you don't see the value that's ok. The value for me is mostly that I enjoy writing CLJS more than JS. Although I don't hate JS, I just enjoy CLJS more.
I can live with seizing assets before conviction, even though it makes me uncomfortable in principle, but mass seizure of assets with a "guilty until proven innocent" policy is just beyond the pale. It's the next step now that we've accepted that we're all wiretapped, all the time. This needs to stop or the Bill of Rights means nothing.

Whenever nuclear fails you can trace it directly to poor policymaking rather than any faults with the underlying technology, unlike something like coal which is flawed from the drawing board due to pollution.
> according to investigators

Investigators also once said "After Floyd got out of his car, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance. He was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later."

I don't always trust what investigators say, especially ones from a department that once jailed Floyd for 15 days for "failure to identify to a police officer" (???), and later murdered him.

Edit: Apologies, it was actually a different department that murdered him.
Apple Maps’ ratings were announced last year and seem to be rolling out now:

Misconceptions:

1. BMI is a good measurement of health. Some of the fittest people I know are classed as 'morbidly obese'.

2. Fat and salt are bad.

3. You need lots of carbohydrates in your diet.

4. All calories are the same. Even that all carbohydrates are the same. Checkout how your body processes glucose vs fructose and how much gets converted to fat.

5. Assuming alcohol has no effect on the processing of food.

6. 'Low-carb' or 'low-sugar' food is definitely good for you. They tend to use Maltitol - you may as well consume sugar [1].

The list goes on. No wonder there is an obesity crisis when 'experts' giving dietary advice don't understand this stuff themselves.

Everyone in business needs payments. For those of us with significant payments experience living the "build or buy" craze, as it continues to accelerate to light speed, just some insight to share. Your mileage may vary.

The financial landscape is significantly changing as entities realize the power of owning and controlling the process and data end to end. Many comments about credit cards and banks but if one has the foresight to see over the horizon the "store of value" "unearned income model" implemented by one very large U.S. coffee company is the future. This model is morphing with the existing gift card industry and the crypto push as the large card brands position to be able to handle and process such 'legitimate' activity. Extremely interesting times once more as the excitement continues to climb and the heat some feel is approaching dotcom bubble temperatures.

It is literally how it is done in most countries that are not the US. I know India, Russia and Austria do the same.
If there were such a virtual machine (and I have no idea), under my conception of God, it wouldn't have any bugs or flaws. :)

For example, we believe He is the source of all light, is not subject to time in the same way we are, He knows the end from the beginning, and we have the opportunity to know more in the future. I can't personally explain more than that except that the important thing for now is for us to learn what we can, act on that faithfully, take good steps forward, and opportunities will open for more steps (my phrasing).
Fixing the laws is significantly more likely to happen than defunding the FBI. (Or if you disagree with that, is just as likely.)
ClickHouse competes with OLAP storages like Druid or Pinot.

I don't know about ClickHouse but the other 2 uses bitmap indexes to make storing petabytes of data affordable.

Row oriented databases would struggle to compete against ClickHouse. They are easily an order of magnitude slower.
Thank you very much! I will order it.

Which is why when these apps suffer a security vulnerability they've resulted in privilege escalation (inc. root) previously.

I actually think it is a bad look for Apple not to dogfood their own public APIs. Microsoft used to do the same thing with Windows and Office, and it was a bad look then too.

Credit to Google on this, since many of their apps are just normal apps. No special privileges or bypasses. Even their special stuff has pretty aggressive sandboxing and can be updated like a normal app via the store.
Does anyone still use FaceTime ? How is the latest Apple Maps compared to google's ?

> My take on this is that most US firms have outsourced first tier tech support to non-native English speakers who have fairly useless scripts they have to run through. You're dealing with a human (sometimes), but it's about the equivalent of dealing with a robot.

Tier 1 is of course script-based, it's simply an efficient approach to troubleshooting without forgetting any angles.

The issue is when the tier 1 agent is on three or four support chats at once, or when they have KPIs for average email/chat/call handling time, going over which docks their pay.

Multiple concurrent interactions are particularly bad, and there's little opportunity to do anything more than just go through rote script steps, and resolve or escalate quickly before moving to the next one. The end result usually is that the customer gets subpar support without any actual human dimension, and the agent somes to preemptively hate the customer.

They are claiming the electoral college is undemocratic. Which it is, by the very definition.

If you've missed the voter suppression thus far, you and I both know that you won't listen to any evidence or argument otherwise.

Good catch! This is the limitation mentioned in my root comment - the algorithm will fail when two books have similar names. The partial solution is to look at authors too when available. Something to be included in the future.
Quite honestly, you're seeing the difference between reasonable doubt, needed to secure a conviction, and probable cause, in this case the bullshit justification of the police to seize the assets because there is some likelihood of an offense occurring.

The onus is not on the police to prove a crime has been committed and the "innocent until proven guilty" system has flipped to where the accused now needs to move heaven and earth to verify he is innocent.

In all likelihood this is just a cash-grab by the cops and I would be suspicious whether all of the funds were entered as evidence or if some of it has "accidentally" been lost in transit.
Paywalled. Not even an abstract.
> The US is a low trust society.

Not at all. Almost every commercial transaction at the retail level allows you to use a method of payment that does not guarantee that the seller will actually receive that money (credit cards). You order food for pickup, and the great majority of restaurants will let you walk in and pick a bag off an unattended table without any attempt to verify that you did in fact order what you're taking; and anecdotally, I've never had my order be taken by somebody else, accidentally or otherwise.

The US is a high trust society.
Democracies are not 'young'. Rome was a democracy for four hundred years before falling into autocracy and empire. As was Athens and some other Greek cities. Many 'barbarian' tribes were democracies as well. Democracy is not something invented in 1776. All experiments in democracy have so far failed. Most fail spectacularly and devolve into authoritarianism (see the 1st French Republic). There has never been a long-sustained democratic government. The most stable forms of government is a representative monarchy or an empire. In 2066, the monarchy of England will celebrate 1000 pretty-much contiguous years. There are actually monarchies that have lasted longer (like the Eastern half of the roman empire which lasted more than 1500 years, as well as the pharaohs of Egypt or the empires of China). There is no democracy that has lasted that long. And to say that the English monarchy requires 'subjugation of its citizens' is quite silly, or even that the Roman empire under Caesar required constant human rights abuses of its citizens (it didn't... roman citizens had lots of rights we enjoy today).

Look.... I believe in democracy, but I don't have a religious fervor over it. I am shocked when my fellow Americans seem so unschooled in basic history. Indeed, many of the undemocratic things put into our constitution (like the much maligned electoral college) were put there by our founders hoping to avoid the pitfalls of democracy. They were very aware that democracy typically fails spectacularly, and put in many anti-democratic things into the constitution to avoid it.

I think the worst of it is in jail conditions. Most people in jail haven't been convicted of a crime (although jails do double duty for short term sentences, which is another wtf.) Jails should be a comfortable as dorm rooms, and have internet and phone. You're put in jail so you don't leave; the rationale isn't supposed to be to punish, but somehow it still is.
There's no way around the black box element of a book review, but Nassim Taleb suggests waiting a few decades and, if the book is still well known, then reading it.

The premise doesn't make much sense to me in the first place.

I think all religions are probably wrong, as far as their metaphysical hypotheses go. By the same logic, that should actually be more offensive than thinking that N - 1 are religions are wrong, not less. (I don't personally see how either is offensive, to be clear.)

Burden of proof is a sliding scale:

* reasonable suspicion

* probably cause

* preponderance of evidence

* beyond reasonable doubt

Civil forfeiture lies at the loosest end of this -- reasonable suspicion. Many laws protect individuals from being deprived of their liberties but civil forfeiture operates under the assumption that the "loot" is an "individual."
I feel very similarly! Ruby just feels like such a well designed system from the ground-up. The object model is so elegant and consistent. The standard library is feature-full and fun to use, and the docs are excellent. Ruby is a beautiful object-oriented language but also leans into the power of FP with a plethora of functions defined on the powerful base-classes like Enumerable. In comparison, Python feels way less thoughtful, more of an ad-hoc language constructed through independent decisions over a long period of time
Content blocking has been possible for a long time.
Around 15 years ago I got my hands on a quadra 700 and managed to install A/UX on it. I don't remember the details but i really struggled to find an external SCSI CDROM drive compatible with the OS, if memory serves me well there were just like 2/3 specific drives supported by the installer.
In the end I probably used a SUN one which looked like a mini pizza box sparcstation.

Taking also in account that that version of A/UX ran only on the quadra 700/800/950, it's probably one of the OS with less hardware support around

The OS itself was so simple, it didn't even use init scripts to start its services, but everything was (re)spawned by /etc/inittab like /bin/getty; this was so clever I started doing it with all the services I wanted to automatically restart on my other linux servers
HBC is in Europe, correct? I find the argument that money laundering is frowned upon hard to believe.

They were basically offering money laundering as a service as recently as ten years ago. And given how long those court arguments likely take that's recent enough.

While I'm not disagreeing with you, that's not really the case here. If anything, my free users tend to be retired hobbyists while my paying users are running local, in-person retail businesses on usually razor-thin margins. They're not subsidized or entitled; they're working their asses off and barely making things work (which I can confirm, since they run their business on my software).

And "overleveraged to the hilt" implies that they have access to finance, which is certainly not universally the case. I'm working on a Stripe Treasury integration, which for a fair few of my users will be their first dedicated bank account for their businesses.
I messed around with Seq when it was posted here a while back. At the time, I was looking for a more performant language than Python for HashBackup (author), and was looking into D, Go, and Nim. I had a few microbenchmarks to get me a little familiar with the syntax and check performance on things that were a problem in Python, like huge dicts of unique integers (each integer in Python is 24 bytes).

The HN post on Seq came up right as I was doing this so I figured I'd check it too. It did really fantastic on the dict microbenchmark, using something like 350MB of RAM while Python used 1.8 GB, or something like that.

I have no use for any of the genome features, and when I talked with them, they have no use for crypto features. The things that are important to me were not a high priority on their roadmap, so I didn't pursue it.

So it’s likely anyone could have cash with traces of narcotics on it and tip off a dog.

Didn’t they also find that a majority of the drug dogs get signals from handlers to act like they found something? Seems like they find stashes of cash and use the trace amounts of drugs on money or the “trick the dog into signaling” technique to cash in.
