Terms like common decency and backbone are words used in place of payment to dupe/guilt people to work for the benefit of someone else without fair compensation. You don’t need to use emotional arguments to get someone to do something they are paid fairly to do.

Theft is an economic issue. I shop in stores without armed guards everywhere because I don’t live in an area with an massive level of income disparity like San Francisco.
Huh. I have that experience, but in reverse. More "specific" or application/context-specific UI elements feel "closer" to me, while browser chrome is farther in the background, and OS all the way in the back. I believe that's the visual paradigm most graphical OS's going back to the '90s used.
My mistake, I meant to say url bar. Last time I tried this, the url bar had all the functionality of the search bar, which misses the point. Am I remembering wrong?
TWO MOTHERFUCKING YEARS!!

Indeed. You started dying the moment you were born!
Not really, it's more just that there's no perfect, general, choice, a lot of unknowns and a decent amount of nuance about what _is_ known.
> But did it hurt them to have everything out in the open? You betcha.

I hear this often and find it a bit puzzling. Perhaps it's part of believing that speech is violence - thinking that critical speech or angry feelings are really hurting Google.

So how do you think it hurt them? Did they lose customers, and if so, how many? Did they miss a quarter? Have to lay people off? Cancel product initiatives?
Yeah you can buy $10,000 in TIPS but since we all work at Google or Facebook, what are you supposed to do with your other $6 Million in savings?
OK... what's the first?
That's interesting because those ingredients are "physical" sunscreens which have been gaining popularity in some part because of concerns over health and environmental impacts of many chemical sunscreens (significant absorption through the skin and subsequently detectable levels in blood possibly leading to hormone disruption and destructive to coral and sea life health)
> Users don't have the mental model to differentiate search terms and a URL

Why don't they? This is a somewhat serious question.

Part of it, in my opinion, is we are moving too fast, and giving up on users to quickly. With enough education, people will understand. But enough education = at least a generation or two, introducing it in schools at a young age, etc. But we just threw our hands up and said "oh well, they don't get it, lets make it simple".

URL = phone number. Search box = Phone book. They are two very different things, and having them both in the same box I feel confuses some people even more.
Self hosting is never easy. If you nerf the GitLab database by doing something unsupported or because of a bug, good luck with that.

Source: an employer of mine nerfed the GitLab database and support to fix it was not an option, so we had to migrate to their cloud offering.
A lot of heavy equipment drives around with water-filled tires, so it's already there. Definitely not what you meant though.
AlbertCory said recently, regarding a piece on Zuckerberg,

[He] was a "bad actor" who "got caught".
Because this is supposed to be a scientific paper, it's supposed to be talking about quantifiable effects, not of some speculations. Especially in this case where the high energy and monetary cost are easy to estimate. OpenAI spent $3 million just on the compute for training. Even inference requires multiple TPUs each using hundreds of Watts.
Is that like Tampa and Orlando-ish?
So, I sponsor myself and in 2 months the company pays me out 30k? Or fires me one day before the 2 months is up and keeps 15k?

How do you imagine that’s going to play out?

“We didn’t realise they wouldn’t be a great fit without an interview”.

Since there is no way to stop bad actors, someone is going to start a new company who’s sole income is based on ripping off job seekers.

As long as two months wages < the cost of the job, you’re effectively making people pay you to work for you.

There’s no sugar coating it: this is a scam.

It will create scam businesses.

If will create law suits over dismissals.

What a brilliant way to drain money from people, if you really don’t care about them at all.

The only thing missing is a bidding system where you all bid for a salary too, and only the lowest bid gets the job.
I am currently using Parcel 2, I like it because I don't have to bother with any configuration. From what I've seen, with esbuild you still have to fiddle with configurations and loaders for specific filetypes? Can I just give it an entry point and let it figure out everything (update production HTML file with bundle links, import external images, target last X browser versions, etc) ?
> The idea seems to be, instead of going through a recruiter or agency you raise funds from ex colleagues.

That's the idea.

Of course, there’s nothing to prevent it from actually being “you pay funds through ex-colleagues”, and lots of reasons that's how its likely to work out in practice.
IIRC, chokes are only necessary with carburetors to control the fuel/air mixture. I think today's cars are all fuel injection and thus don't need to have a choke. Cheaper gas powered garden equipment still has chokes, I think.
> often people with older vehicles pride themselves on continuing to use old vehicles as daily drivers but then also keep a 'stable' of backup vehicles because they are each so unreliable.

You aren't wrong which is why I drive the 1996 Toyota. Got it w/ 40k and it's been bulletproof.

The 61 is kind of an heirloom. My new sister's family (found via ancestry) were first owners. We're keeping it from dying.

The 69 and 63 are here because reviving them is cathartic for son #3. They are/will be daily drivers.
Yes, Dang is a good moderator and HN is still my favourite discussion board on the internet in large part due to their approach to moderation.
Used Resilio for a long time and it would constantly start to beachball on my Macs. Syncthing has been pretty flawless by comparison.

> Why would the rim be so large and solid

Not sure. Makes me think that it would be a good idea to make the inner rim diameter smaller, and have another layer of spokes/spings with a higher compression force.
> they deal with travel, which is a Constitutional Right

No, it is not.

Air travel has been held up by zero courts as a Constitutional right, which is why the federal government can restrict it. Even interstate travel isn't a Constitutional right, which is why it, too, can be restricted with solely administrative procedures.

> that’s a general right not a specific right travel by passenger airline, but still there is no constitutional right to “utilities”

There is no Constitutional right to "utilities," either, which is why power and water companies can cut you off if you don't pay, just a variety of legal rights.
I'm not aware of any good general-case automation for this.

When I've done this in the past, it basically consists of:

1) Decompile project using Ghidra/IDA, first pass.

2) Load symbols if present (sounds like there was a PDB for this one, which makes things a lot easier).

3) Read decompilation/asm for unnamed subs and try to name them based on what they do.

4) Export all decompiled source into an editor and start copy/paste/editing into readable source. Highly manual process, for some files it's just pattern matching / renaming and goes really quickly, for others it's full reimplementation and a bit harder.

And, if you look at most "decompiled game" projects, I think this is the industry standard way to do this. For example, OpenRCT2 started as a repository full of manually created source with Hex-Rays names and slowly evolved module-by-module into readable source code. (disclosure: per the child post, my original assumption that OpenRCT2 was copied out of Hex-Rays was inaccurate, since it was originally written in assembler it didn't follow a standard C ABI and the decompiler wouldn't work properly anyway).
> And, yes, I used an incognito browser so it wouldn't be polluted with my own demented midnight searches for corrugated iron flavoured pogo sticks.

Yeah right! Since when does 'using Incognito' prevent Amazon from tracking you in thousand different ways?
> Tech-savvy people will just type "facebook.com"

browsers used to do these these things (trying to add 'www.' or '.com' etc. if the domain doesn't resolve) automatically in the location bar (which wasn't the search bar, so there was no ambiguity):

Did I miss something?

We have a paid Youtube subscription and the Youtube kids Ipad application. I have it set to show only the channels or videos I have approved. I deleted everything it started with, and whitelisted 10 or so channels that I reviewed.

I monitor my kids pretty closely, I haven't seen any "extra" videos ever show up....
Calling people "webshits" is not really in the spirit of HN imo.
Indeed. The police have certainly earned a lot of the ire they're currently experiencing, especially in Portland.

I tried to keep this list as neutral as possible, and just report the facts as I understand them to be true. #13 and #14 include more of my own viewpoint, but I think those are broadly true statements.
Yeah...it can mean different things depending on context. The meaning you probably refer to is one of them, but generally it refers to someone rare and in-demand.
Why is their mental model wrong? Perhaps the model of having separate url vs search boxes is wrong.
Another thing is - automation is documentation. It might just be three 1-line bash commands that you have as muscle memory that you do once a week - so there's no time save.

But automation will save you a lot of time and stress if you had long vacations or worked on a different project for half a year. Suddenly the muscle memory isn't there and you have to learn the hard way AGAIN if it's not automated.
They've fixed that on Nightly, for what it's worth. There is now padding at the bottom of the tab list. Also, undo-ing a closed tab puts it back where it was, not at the top of the list.
Soon they won't have a choice as old.reddit.com is already set for deprecation. The whole site is an advertising platform now.

> If you had a desktop yeah I would recommend the upgrade

Aye, I was thinking more about older desktop machines rather than laptops, which by their nature are designed to be as power efficient as possible to extend how long you can run off of just the battery.

And again just to restate to others, it's worth upgrading if you can afford it. After I dumped those old Dells, I reckon I saved the nearly the price of a whole PC each year after kitting out with newer gear (until the price of electric went up again).

Apropos Windows 11, it seems there may be ways around the TPM requirements, though not ideal:

yea I'm not talking about CI, mostly _all the other things_ Actions can do right now like label events, comment events, all the events etc.
There's plenty of evidence from history that if a group is censored, it is persecuted thereafter.

The evidence does not need to be from now.
I wasn't trying to make a distinction between blue and red tribes. You can paint a political propaganda machine however you like, its goal is the same: To encircle people by all possible routes, in the realm of feelings as well as ideas, true and/or false, by playing on their will or their needs, assailing them in both their private and public lives. It furnishes them with a complete system for explaining the world, and provides immediate incentives to action. Through the myth it creates, the machine imposes a range of intuitive knowledge, susceptible of only one interpretation, unique and one-sided, and precluding any divergence.

> The opposing position to "wear a mask to protect others" should have been "wear a mask to protect yourself and your family"

Should the mask topic also prohibit any divergence? Is the evidence so unambiguous that all raised objections can only be a tragic misleading with disastrous results?

Cochrane review (Nov 2020): "We included nine trials (of which eight were cluster‐RCTs) comparing medical/surgical masks versus no masks to prevent the spread of viral respiratory illness (two trials with healthcare workers and seven in the community). There is low certainty evidence from nine trials (3507 participants) that wearing a mask may make little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI) compared to not wearing a mask (risk ratio (RR) 0.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82 to 1.18)"

>People keep saying we can feed 10 billion people. We can. But at what cost to the diversity of biological systems?
>
>It’s not popular to say but we need to stabilize population growth and stop encroaching on natural habitats and put a brake on consumerism.

This is not popular because it assumes that everyone has an excessive footprint. I'm vegetarian, I get most of my food from a local, organic farm. My footprint is minimal (no car, zero commute, no flight, etc). We could be billions more if we chose to live this way. Why ask/force people not to have a family where we could have happy family living responsibly? Asking others to die / not reproduce is a great way not to challenge our way of life.

For some reasons, all the people I know who campaign for population stabilization/reduction are among those with the worst footprint.
Ask HN: What are good alternatives to Twilio?
We were using Twilio in my last two companies (SMS and Voice), and now trialing Voice at my current employee. We want to reach multiple countries and face several problems when using Twilio.

Long story short, in those years (~5) I feel like their products are getting worse, opened support tickets can't be viewed by the whole team any more, and feature requests we made to their support (and talking to other devs, they faced the same limitations back then) are still not addressed.

Before I go through multiple of other companies/products, I am curious of experiences with other communication providers and what good alternatives there are!
I think I’m still doing pretty well with knowing about and even understanding new technology. The thing is, I have a harder time finding it worthwhile. Like social media that seems to have a 5 year cycle just because the younger kids don’t want to be seen using what the older kids use. Do we really need a new IM system and different way of posting short videos to friends every 5 years? So much “technology” change is now just fashion.

But it's not phone number vs phone book. It's phone number vs automated operator that will connect you where you are trying to go.

I am technical and I often just search instead of URL just because it requires less precision.

Google is just DNS with a few extra steps.
Not the author, but my issue with Hugo is that the template language is so different from everything else I've ever used that it didn't feel worth the effort to learn (and, later, re-learn) it, when I could just find a different static site generator with a more agreeable template language.

Note: this only applies if you're planning to write your own HTML. If you're using a packaged theme, Hugo would likely be a great choice. I didn't want to use an existing theme, because all the ones I found either didn't do what I wanted or were bloated (or they had Facebook and Twitter logos built in...). For the record, my entire index page (including CSS and favicon) is 1/5th the size of just the CSS used in Hugo's tutorial.
Correct, the atmosphere will block the rays that cause vitamin d production so the best time to be exposed is around noon +/- a few hours when the sun is above you
Search and keywords are part of Google's DNA. Of course they want to utilize the thing that they do anywhere they can. Eliminating the URL means that everything is a keyword search to visit places. We've already seen how that doesn't work well with AOL. Maybe you're not old enough to remember it, so it sounds like a promising idea. The thing G has over AOL is that G has a complete profile on you that AOL never had. So yes, this sounds like a good idea to Google.

Not allowing a user to go directly to where they want to go is just bad. It's like ordering a Lyft to take you somewhere, but the driver takes you to 4 different places that pays Lyft money to artificially increase traffic to their place before ultimately taking you to where you wanted to go. It's just a waste of everyone's time.
>It's happening everywhere in the world apart from the USA so that's clearly not where the blockage is. It has more to do with iMessage having a critical mass of users in the USA.

Outside of the USA people are "switching" messaging Apps? Or just continuing to use what they have always used?

>Apple competitors have technology which are similar to airdrop notably Huawei.

Nobody uses Huawei here in the US so that point is moot.

>and there are plenty of apps offering solutions to this issue. I like airdrop but generally speaking Android sharing options are superior to iOS.

What are these Android sharing options that are superior to iOS? Do they have to be installed? iOS has Airdrop built in requiring no installation or configuration. If they have to be installed they are automatically not superior.

>It is easier to send anything towards any apps on Android which makes your point about the 5+ steps kind of moot in my opinion.

No it isn't? I have used both Samsung and Apple devices for 10+ years. It is always easier to share between iOS devices and Macs.
It does help because you can call back if you recognise the number (which defeats spoofed caller ID) or call the number published.

There's not really any alternative to calling a trusted number.
I normally refrain from making meta comments about site implementations but this site doesn't scroll at all in Safari.

There needs to be a hippocratic oath of web development.
It is definitely skipping over a lot of the details. Essentially the code put out by those tools is going to be almost the right code. The thing you do then is go through each function it produces and fix up the names and maybe re-organize it to be more readable. Then you try to compile it and find and fix the errors. It's going to be entirely project and file specific as to what you'll need to do but usually you'll need to rewrite the conditionals in if statements to be more understandable since the optimization passes that the original compiler did will have likely scrambled the logical version of things before (to reduce the number of things that need to be done, or reordered them to take better advantage of the way the processor pipelines things).
Deere and Co. workers go on strike after rejecting contract
I'd be happy to hear them out too. Much less happy with them just slowly, piece by piece, making their vision happen without "public consultation", just by the virtue of being the dominant browser vendor.
I to refuse to use other messaging apps but I find it hard to blame apple for creating a messaging app that people love/like enough to refuse using competing messaging apps. That's not lack of competition or lock in. That's just user preference, I prefer to keep it all in the same place. I don't need the extra feature of speed. Texting is async to me so speed it never noticeable. So I don't really care if you SMS me or iMessage me.

Do you interact with Houdini via its Python API? If yes, would you mind sharing your set-up (IDE, etc.)?

For a while now, I have been wanting to learn how to use Houdini or Blender for 1) data viz, e.g., animations of very large amounts of data points and 2) making short animations that I could embed into my presentations.
“We can’t change the facts so let’s focus on changing what words mean”
There's a clear and obvious loop where people are addicted to drugs, needing money to satisfy that addiction, and pursuing dumpster diving and petty theft to cobble together enough money to buy drugs. Repeat every day.

The only way to break the cycle is to have a safe supply of prescribed drugs, an alternative to (often literally toxic) street drugs. This would mean that persons don't need to raise money to buy street drugs, which should reduce the related petty theft, but this is not the status quo "war on drugs" approach so it remains politically challenging for weak politicians.

The status quo continues where police pretty much don't have options other than to harass drug users and confiscate drugs, which only makes things worse as drug users with no money now have to raise more money yet again to buy more drugs, potentially stealing again.

The "tough on crime" path is often advocated by people frustrated and wanting to see police knock some heads around, but it leads to the unsustainable and wildly expensive absurdities of like jailing people for stealing deoderant and such incredibly minor crimes.
Everything You Need to Know About Software Testing
This was a case of "my dad can beat up your dad." Just stated as "I see worse than you are seeing." Nothing of substance. If we want to compare who's stream is worse, provide some examples, don't just say you've dealt with worse than what you assume the other person has.

Anyway, looks like I replied to the wrong post originally. And I botched my delivery. It was a poor attempt at encouraging more substantive discussion. I, for one, would have been interested in seeing an example that points out how much more ruthless a different country was, and I would have hoped that someone would show a counter example, and then a n interesting discussion pop up.
>Users don't have the mental model to differentiate search terms and a URL.

I don't think good software always aims for the lowest common denominator. It's not an unequivocal good that users' lack of education is catered to. Infantilizing users makes them more dependent on services, and less able to navigate the internet.

> Let’s see, you vote for candidates with money. If I’m a sought after engineer, I can collaborate with ppl inside to bet big on me and receive a kick back

And if you’re an engineer that thinks you are underappreciated on your resume but really good, you can work with other people to, at zero cost/risk to them, turn it into “I pay for a job trial”.

This is a source of significant problems.
Even as a technical user, I Google "natwest" instead of typing in "natwest.com". Much safer than typing "natwest.co" and getting caught by phishing sites.
