Notes app on macOS completely fails accessibility test for URLs
I used the Digital Color Meter tool on macOS to pick up the RGB values for the default color for URLs in the Notes app and plugged it into the WebAIM tool that checks for accessibility. Results were unsurprisingly terrible (you can barely read the yellow-on-white text even with perfect vision): https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=FAC055&bcolor=FFFFFF

Andrew Yang has never held office. If one election campaign is enough to turn him into a typical politician, what does that say about his value as a prospective public servant?
In Python e.g. instead of doing this:

if key in some_dict:
foo = some_dict[key]
... # A
else:
... # B

you would do this:

try:
foo = some_dict[key]
except KeyError:
... # B
else:
... # A

> It’s printing money

Substantively, its not when its used to redeem Fed-held government debt.

The money creation involved happened when the Fed created money to buy the debt (and, lo and behold, did not produce ultrainflation); interaction between two hands of the money-issuing government isn't substantively “money creation”, its accounting gimnicks with a platinum token.

> Sure this time it may used as an accounting trick. But it also frees government to spend recklessly until current money is worthless.

No, the law authorizing it already frees government to do that (and, more generally, the Constitutional power of creating money.)

There are procedural constraints, like the budget and the Constitutional assignment of power over it, which prevent the executive willy-nilly spending such money having minted it (unlike, say, the Fed’s money creating powers, where it can spend all the money it creates fairly freely, which is how it bought the debt it now holds.)

This is really a non-issue; its one of the clearly-legal routes around the stupid, contradictory (with mandated spending in the budget), counterproductive, and probably constitutionally null at least insofar as it purports to constrain later-mandated spending, and possibly more generally, debt ceiling without openly defying it.

A less legally clear method is just to treat it as the complete legal nullity it may be and ignore it completely. In many ways, I think that's the best option, but effectively “mint the coin” is no different in substance.

As for context to my post CNN is not far left in my learned and erudite opinion as they are a frequent apologist for the effects of neoliberalism and corporatism upon the peeps of this world.
That... wouldn't make it better. AT&T shouldn't froth people up with lies, regardless of their political persuasion.

Also OAN and CNN are not equivalently far from reality. Only one of those has actively peddled anti-democracy conspiracies and then apologized for it.
That's not simplifying, it's the opposite. We've made it easier by adding more complexity.

> The government, after all, doesn't actually create anything, every dollar it spends came out of somebody else’s pocket. Whose pocket? Part of the $3 trillion was bid away from private borrowers like businesses, and the rest was siphoned from peoples' savings by the Federal Reserve creating new money.

> This means that, yes, GDP would decline sharply. But wealth would actually grow, perhaps substantially. The businesses would be able to buy things they need, while the savers keep their money that was doing useful things like paying their retirement.

I've always wondered what would happen if the US government stopped borrowing and started paying down its debt. My theory is that all that money that would have gone into endless government would mostly be added into businesses. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
Fusion's problems are very different from fission's problems.

Fission arguably went from the first serious attempt at a reactor (U of Chicago, Dec. 1942, successful self-sustaining reaction) to powering a large, high-performance naval vessel (USS Nautilus, Jan. 1955, in service for ~25 years) in 12 years. Its technological and social problems are very complex, but pretty well-known.

Fusion experts have yet to achieve any self-sustaining reaction - in spite of numerous, well-funded attempts going back ~60 years. Roughly speaking, there seems to be no plausible prospect for fusion being a viable power source for anything outside of a lab. So its technological problems amount to "not actually possible", and its social problems amount to "very cool waste of money".

One of the biggest benefits of so thoroughly intertwining our economies is that this is exceptionally unlikely. China can't war its way out of a debt crisis, because that war would be against its biggest customers, and biggest sources of cash flow.

Uh, no apologies needed, as I don't think such issues really matters (especially online where everyone can be a dog, woof woof!). And it's ok to call out potential prejudice if you think some opinions are unfair.

However, I think my expectations and opinions on terminals are quite fair, and that most people would enjoy an equivalent of mintty if there was one on Linux: it has been polished by years of adding small functionalities that adds up to make a whole that's greater than the sum of the parts.

You seem to generally agree with my takes, so I'm curious, what is lacking in mintty for your own uses? Personally, the only missing functionality that I sometimes regret is tab support.

As for platform exclusives, Windows Terminal has great tab support and is right now the best terminal for someone who doesn't need sixels: the ability to configure different shells ("profiles") is by itself quite admirable. The attention to details (SGR1) and configurability of said details seals the deal: different colors for different tabs of different profiles, so you don't mix your remote sessions!

As for Wayland, I can't say. I may have tried it for 10 minutes or 1 hour then found limitations, and decided it may not give the best argument in favor of Linux so I'd rather skip it. I will try Linux again in 2022, and I'll spend time with foot since everyone seem to love it, so I'll give another try to Wayland!

Besides having a great terminal experience (as I do most of my work there), one of the silly details that matters to me the most is having a consistent white theme which both removes the perception of reflections on glossy displays in the daytime, and allows an easy dark mode if you do a screen inversion + a red shift at the night time. NegativeScreen is a gem to do that on Windows: night mode for every app as soon as you press a button!

If I can't do that on Wayland (no more xrandr) like I do on Windows, the lack of support for themes in future gnome versions worries me, as pure white themes (for eInk) and pure black themes (for OLED) are extremely rare by default.

Still, I would love to be able to use Linux, because I love ZFS, but so far the terminal experience and the UI have kept me firmly in Windows land.

I'll see how the situation evolves... if it doesn't change enough, I may do something weird, like a GPU passthrough with everything on Windows, storage on a zvol handled by Linux as the virtualizer.
The framing of CNN (AT&T) as "far-left" is hype popularized by OAN (AT&T). Classic example of warmongers profiting by inflaming the conflict and selling to both sides...
I agree that this is probably more likely.
Forget JPEG, How Would a Person Compress a Picture?
Personally I felt like the best education in money management was the sort of video game where you are managing money.

For me in the 90's it was Civilization. Money in this sort of management video game has a lot in common with managing real money. There are a lot of things you want that cost money, and you don't have enough money for everything, so you have to make tough decisions. Sometimes you should know that you'll need money in the future, so it makes sense to save. Money is really useful, so it's worth working pretty hard if you can make a lot of money. Sometimes you need to do some math to figure out if you have enough money to do something or not, and doing that math will help you make better decisions. Sometimes you can spend money in a risky way to try to make more money, and that might be a good strategy or not depending on the details, so you should dig into the details.

Someone can tell you in a class, "Don't blow your money on stupid stuff", but it doesn't really sink in the way it does when you rush-buy a temple because you're impatient, then you get invaded, and you are kicking yourself that you didn't save enough money to rush-buy some chariots for defense.
Very important story, but seems purely political and not conducive to educational, intellectual discussion. I flagged it as off-topic.
Cordless impact drivers are one thing. Those store energy in a spring, a rotating hammer assembly is pushed by that spring and gains inertia, striking an anvil to provide a quick burst of torque. They typically have a hexagonal socket and are used to drive screws. Impact wrenches have the same construction, but are beefier, have square drive anvils, and are used to drive nuts and bolts.

A hammer drill spins in a continuous motion, and is typically used with a spiral flute drill in a Jacobs chuck (or tool-less version of the Jacobs chuck). You can usually enable or disable the hammer action with the clutch. It has a similar mechanism that encourages the drill to tap forwards, but if you press too hard it won't do much. Just a weighty and useless add-on to an ordinary drill to justify a slightly increased price, IMO. A regular drill, even with a masonry bit, is ineffective in concrete; hammer drills can work if the bit is small and the mix used more sand and maybe fine gravel (eg. mortar or brick), but are hopeless if you encounter a larger stone. Importantly, the energy and the frequency of the hammering action are tied to the rotation - usually 1, 2, or 3 taps per revolution. You don't get heavy or rapid impacts at low RPM.

A rotary impact (whether pneumatic, corded, or cordless) has an SDS head and a mechanism that drives the head forward and aft. You can typically run it in hammer-only mode, which is impossible with a hammer drill. You may be able to shift a cam (or adjust an air valve) to change the impact power. And yeah, with a decently powerful rotary impact tool, you can run put large holes in concrete with little hassle.

> author appears to be a co-founder of the company despite writing much of the article from the perspective of an IC engineer who was taken advantage of.

With all respect to the author, I think, from reading this, they gave him the title of co-founder to try to try to stop him from leaving earlier, given 85% of the engineering team had left (it's implied this happend before he became a co-founder). He jokes about it himself, asking "have you ever seen a co-founder on a free-lancer contract?".
I agree, it's a "traditional media" version of Facebook trying to increase engagement by enraging both sides of every political debate.
> if that's all true then what else could this person do other than air out the dirty laundry?

Simply leaving the company quietly is a huge statement in itself. A founder who leaves an active company and tactfully announces that they’ve chosen to move on speaks volumes.

Airing dirty laundry like this is politics, plain and simple. It doesn’t benefit the author to advertise his issues as a co-founder and it doesn’t benefit the remaining employees who are now at a company known primarily for founder drama.

What's the justification for posting this here? It's not startup/tech related at all.
No, I think they meant what they said: we can encounter the situation where 50% of products need to be separated out only because some molecules are chiral. (Actually their comment was extremely carefully (and well-) worded for a social media comment!)

See, in general your statement that reaction products can be mirror images of each other is true for most of the chemical reactions humanity has been able to produce in a lab/factory, yet many reactions don't require separating out 50% of the products because it doesn't matter that they're mirror images if they're non-chiral molecules. Think of the (non-chiral) letter H: a right-handed and left-handed letter H are the same -- one can always be rotated to match the other.

The only time it matters that most of our chemical reactions can produce either left- or right-handed molecules is when these molecules are actually different, meaning they cannot be rotated to match each other. Think of the (chiral in 2D) letter L. There's no way I can rotate the letter L in 2D space to make it match its mirror image. (Of course I can if I'm allowed to rotate it through 3D space.)
> All in all, life is much, much, much better on the bleeding edge.

Same feeling here, but on a personal level (meaning, using a desktop computer for professional work). Started using Ubuntu many years ago, ran updates maybe once every month. Every now and then something breaks, but always unsure of what/how/when, so digging through things that changed always took long time.

Started using Arch Linux and few years ago and also started doing updates at least once per day. Now it's way easier to discover what particular change broke something, as the releases are way smaller.

I attribute this more to how often I do the updates now VS before, and less to which OS you use. Same can be achieved with Debian Testing et al.
This seems bogus. The quote claiming that AT&T specifically did this to push rightist propaganda is hearsay and their "contribution" was a simple deal to allow OAN on DirecTV.

By that logic, AT&T is responsible for everything bad that comes out of any of their channels on DirecTV. They're a platform and they have a duty to their shareholders to maximize revenue by platforming content creators as long as those content creators don't break the law. This is just wanton cancel culture.
IIUC, in 2021, you can dock a PineTab or a PinePhone with a USB-C PD hub that has HDMI, USB, and Ethernet and use any of a number of Linux Desktop operating systems on a larger screen with full size keyboard and mouse.

Yes. By design (1), RISC-V removes much of what makes OoO harder. Most instructions have very regular and clean semantics, communicating only through registers, with a straight forward [up to] two register operands, at-most one destination. The memory model by default is the same as Arms, a fairly weak model. Basically code that works on Arm will port over trivially (vector and special functions excluded).

(1) Unfortunately compressed instructions were included in the Unix profile which causes a lot of pain and makes it mostly impossible to do any partial predecode at I$ fill time. Ironically Arm64 wised up and removed the Thumb variants. (Preempting the code density crowd: there are other ways to deal with this).
EDIT: Pain includes dealing with instructions that crosses cacheline or even page boundaries (hello double fault), but worse, not being able to tell what might be an instruction in the I$. It was a sad day when RISC-V with essentially no input from the higher-end concerns decided to force it on us.
Ask HN: Free CS Resume Template Kits?
I came across someone selling CS resume templates on social media. I checked it out, and for $39 (that is currently 25% on sale), you get access to a fill-in-the-blanks google doc along with some different themes of the same doc.

The sale site made it sound like the resume put you on a sure path to getting a FAANG job. I know many will pay for the idea of an easy jumpstart to their dream job, but I know others out there are new to tech, overwhelmed with learning, maybe even short on funds, and out desperation spend money on this since it was the first person they came across, and they want to believe this is it.

Maybe we can't do much about that, but what if we make resume-making more accessible/approachable? I know you can make an AST-friendly resume for free. Checking in on the "Who wants to be hired?" threads provide real resumes you could look through for inspiration, to guide yourself. There are so many discord communities out there just for SWE career prep that help people out, but I guess the problem is reach—not getting to the newcomers where the other influencers are.

Are there any popular FOSS resume generator? How can we improve awareness for people trying to make a resume for free?

(I learned to create my resume after adapting a free investment banking resume[1] and tailored it to CS and then rewrote it in LaTeX, but I know I'm not a good example. Hoping HN has better strategies for new developers and that they might come across this post in the future)

The intended way to do that is to join a party and try to work towards that from within. Parties are required to have democratic internal processes including voting on the candidate lists. But let's face it - only people with political ambitions of their own will even think about that.

There is nothing less exponential about a 2% inflation target than there is about a 5% rate or even a 10% rate of inflation. All discussions about inflation are exponential in nature.

In my own interpretation, Homer refers to the colour of red wine as you can see in a black earthenware cup of the sort that was common in ancient Greece, or a bronze crater, both very dark, and actually not so different from the colour of seawater as seen from a boat offshore (not exactly black, but not really coloured either).
