> Arguably the biggest Twitch streamer

This person is #39 on this list [1] which shows earnings from ~2 years up till Oct 2021. She is arguably a top100 streamer, but I wouldn't use these heavy wordings of 'biggest Twitch streamer' cause I am sure there's going to be fans of various of these top100 personae who claim such.

Pretty cool to see them support Svelte(Kit) as the (or one of?) the first frameworks with direct support! Recently deployed a new application on Vercel, but very much looking forward to when Cloudflare will be an equally, or even more appealing choice! Amazing work, fantastic direction, keep it up!
The point is that Microsoft effectively "bought" that good will with developers and now they've cashed it out. I have no plan to trust them, and if I hear the "actually Microsoft has been good for open source" argument, I can finally counter it with reality.
That "Hi there! Can I share a cool thing I'm working on with you?" avatar at the bottom of the page is cute! I usually hate pop-ups or chat bots. Nice! Maybe part of it is that it doesn't obscure what I'm trying to read, and it only appears at the end.
The argument you are making is directly addressed in the article.

> So “believe experts”? That would have been better advice in this case. But the experts have beclowned themselves again and again throughout this pandemic, from the first stirrings of “anyone who worries about coronavirus reaching the US is dog-whistling anti-Chinese racism”, to the Surgeon-General tweeting “Don’t wear a face mask”, to government campaigns focusing entirely on hand-washing (HEPA filters? What are those?) Not only would a recommendation to trust experts be misleading, I don’t even think you could make it work. People would notice how often the experts were wrong, and your public awareness campaign would come to naught.

> But also: one of the data detectives who exposed some fraudulent ivermectin papers was a medical student, which puts him somewhere between pond scum and hookworms on the Medical Establishment Totem Pole. Some of the people whose studies he helped sink were distinguished Professors of Medicine and heads of Health Institutes. If anyone interprets “trust experts” as “mere medical students must not publicly challenge heads of Health Institutes”, then we’ve accidentally thrown the fundamental principle of science out with the bathwater. But Pierre Kory, spiritual leader of the Ivermectin Jihad, is a distinguished critical care doctor. What heuristic tells us “Medical students should be allowed to publicly challenge heads of Health Institutes” but not “Distinguished critical care doctors should be allowed to publicly challenge the CDC”?

I think it is horribly demeaning to respond to someone asking how GPS work by saying "you can't try to understand without years of training, just trust us." That is exactly the kind of response that alienates people and fosters mistrust.
In the '80s, Elite was magic. The annotated source code shows how it was done
I don’t think it is related to antitrust, but I do think it is related to the growing “right to repair” advocacy.

The reason I think that, is that Apple devices have always been repairable! By Apple. No one needed to “buy a new phone a year early because the battery died” if they were willing to hand their phone and $99 to Apple. I got the battery repaired in 2 different iPhones and it worked great (and was less expensive and wasteful than a whole new phone). I also got the screen repaired on one of those phones.

So look at what is new here. It’s not “an iPhone can be repaired.” What is new is that Apple will help me do the repair myself.
Using programming languages for configuration is a bad idea.
> You always justify it with something the people you need to support you deeply believe.

Like the need for Democracy and Freedom!
It’s fitting this article is posted by “missinfo” on a site named ‘reason’ while presenting non-objective straw man argument, where they take a clearly false point: “Bitcoin will use up all the worlds energy” and argue against that, while throwing in a conspiratorial angle about elites being scared of new money

There are interesting questions to explore and I would be curious to read a balanced objective take on the environmental cost of a Bitcoin centric economy - there’s a non trivial energy cost involved in running traditional banking, would the energy & environmental cost of Bitcoin exceed that? Does it already? What’s the estimated balance point where we expect Bitcoin to settle as a fraction of global energy use? What’s the acceptable fraction?

This article doesn’t explore these questions in a useful way
Considering how many people are actually using hose doses instead of those intended for humans, I guess that characterization isn't too wrong.
ByteDance Team’s Bert-Like Pretrained Vision Transformer iBOT Achieves New SOTAs
Unconvinced. LTT has 1 or 2 good videos for every 30 videos they release. Maybe the face helps people click the bad videos, but the good videos stand for themselves and it's likely that he would be successful without playing the game. (His all time most popular video doesn't have a thumbnail of him making a weird face. It's his most popular video of all time because his guest was exceedingly entertaining.)

(Also, I don't mean for this to be an anti-Linus post. How he built LMG is a great story and he deserves the success he's achieved.)
Could you please A/B test if it needs to be your exaggerated face or if stock photos would suffice? ;)

Also kudos to building your brand, I only saw the headline and already figured it might be you.. (or Linus, but it didn't say anything about /dropping/ 5k)
No they're not. That's you being biased against information you dislike and then justifying its "falseness" by attaching whatever -ist label makes you feel better.

Thinking that white supremacists and Nazis are running all over the place in 2021 is pure bs propaganda being pushed by our media.

How to Redirect Emails in Gmail in Just 4 Steps
I concur. My childhood LEGO from 1980-ish (now my son's) have noticeable color and fit variation. Still usable, but definitely not as nice as the new stuff.
I don't see anything on this post about how they will warrant self-repair, so I imagine Louis will be bringing this up.

Years back I replaced the battery on my iPhone (I tried to have Apple replace it ... it's a long, infuriating story). But I took it in for a charge port recall due to the port losing connection to the cable. It was completely unrelated issue but they wouldn't replace it under recall due to prior third party repairs. It's similar to Ford not replacing your recalled alternator because you replaced your radiator with a third party. In any case I haven't bought an iPhone since because of the frustration this experience left me with.

So this is definitely a positive step in the right direction but hopefully it doesn't end without amendments to their warranty and recall policies.
> Dark UX is not what Satya wants.

And yet here we are. I think it’s more likely that Satya wants a perception that he doesn’t want Dark UX and then use it everywhere. Windows and azure is full of this stuff and it doesn’t make sense that people are secretly going against the CEO’s vision and direction.

I don’t expect CEO micromanagement, but if Satya wanted a positive user experience seriously, then the solitaire PM wouldn’t have added ads or at least would have removed them after the backlash.

I think Microsoft has really improved (eg, WSL, vscode, GitHub) but think it’s just PR about how great everything is supposed to be.

It’s like the Amazon ads that show happy workers getting degrees and stuff. I’m glad those things are happening but it’s just PR.
Probably mean to ask this way, but why does this read like something written by a moron? Like it has this unprofessional condescending air to it.
Before I learned lisp, I remember seeing this sentiment expressed a lot and thinking people were underselling the difficulty and overselling the usefulness of "programming your text editor" as opposed to just configuring it via standard options.

After I learned enough Common Lisp to build a few small projects, I realized how powerful it is to write small, bespoke functions for odd text editing jobs. You can write and save functions that do something very specific but powerful to any project you're working on, regardless of the language or tooling used, because everything uses text. I'm so glad I learned it.
We tried taking the phone from our teenager as punishment for something and it was like taking a needle from a heroin addict.
In that case, it seems that they should have people going door-to-door offering cancellation as well.
How is it naivety? Android and iOS are far worse as “free platforms” than Windows. Those OSes aren’t improving on that front.
Governments though can do that through their own passive demand. Ie., they can issue proper smartcards/tokens for citizens to identify themselves with, and then say that those can (and eventually must) be used for electronic interactions with the government itself (taxes being a big one but they'd easily be useful for a range of stuff). Follow/improve open standards. With something good, open and convenient private usage will naturally follow. Government can also by definition get involved with the issue of legal liability and fix BS like "identity theft" by shifting liability for businesses who do not meet good authentication standards. Doing it that way also creates room for fixing serious issues in practice before a natural rollout, as it starts by the government dogfooding its own standard. And if a lot of sites demand it, browsers will respond absent overwhelming reason not to, which itself is a good form of pressure to get said overwhelming reasons fixed.

I'm very doubtful though that trying to just directly legislate how software universally works though bypassing process is a good idea. Massive room for abuse as well.
In general, people post things on HN to discuss them. This includes high profile web outages.
I might cancel my gym membership, and re-join online just to make sure I can use this if I need to.

Small claims cases against gyms are remarkably easy to win. Judges know the bs gyms put their members through when they try to cancel so the courts are already inclined to believe the other party
Steal away!
Had the exact same experience. Moved out of state, had to continue paying for over a year until I had another reason to go back there and cancel it. Of course, there was no part of the process that couldn't have been done over the phone, or on the web.

And this is relevant to the article, since Planet Fitness is specifically called out for being among the shadiest practitioners of this tactic.
I can’t stand the dumb faces either. And yet… I catch myself being more likely to click on them when it has a face on it. It’s the weirdest thing.

Looks like RPython is a bigger language that doesn’t target an embedded use case without a Python runtime. Though I may be mistaken - I am not super familiar with RPython.
A lot of people will say "paying by check is such a hassle! I don't even have checks! It's so 1980s!" But you know what? It's a lot less of a hassle than canceling your membership when paying by credit/debit card.

And if you don't have checks for your checking account, you can get order them online from walmart.com for $10 + shipping. Or, if you still use a bank that has a local branch, you can go into the branch and ask for a single printed check. They cost a couple of bucks.
Have you thought of targeting WebAssembly? If you're going from Python/Prometo -> C you could always make the extra sep of Python/Prometo -> C -> WASM but I wonder if there would be an advantage of skipping the intermediate C.

It's also important to note that Iceland has a population of 370K and tourists this year will likely peak at about 400-450K (way less than a typical year). Of the 34 deaths attributed to Covid from the beginning of the pandemic in Iceland at least 3 were visiting tourists. All the Icelandic statistics do not differentiate between those living in Iceland and tourists so any calculations based on population will be off.

Does this mean the reverse is also true? Unilever, Shell, and Blizzard went UK instead of FR/NL. There's more companies which switched UK to EU than EU to UK, but still.
Yes, a simple approach would be to use a convolutional network for multiple object detection. You would need a training set that was transferable. In your case I think you would best use a training set generator and generate a bunch of webpages with known image locations and sizes. Coursera has a video and links to references on efficient multiple object detection, look at the Andrew Ng courses. I suspect this would be an easy application. You would probably want to use PyTorch or Tensorflow to specify the model and use a GPU or GPU instance if on the cloud to accelerate the training sufficiently to explore hyper-parameters intuitively. Selenium may help with the test set generator if you can extract the image coordinates relative to the browser window with that and then generate a screen shot of that application window. You may need to generate 100k or so such randomly generated pages with multiple rectangles to reach very good accuracy, but that number is very hand wavy.

E.g. you need to do your best to generate a uniform distribution of web pages, and then render them with a real browser, extracting the image rectangle coordinates somehow to generate the labeled test set. Then feed that into a convolutional network (or R-CNN) with back-prop's error metric being a function of the R-CNN's output objects vs. the training set labels. This should then converge on correct results and you should plot the convergence of the error metric to see when it asymptotes. If the quality is sufficient at asymptote you are done, if not you may have to change structure and/or hyper-parameters.
Thanks, I already have the ZSN pro and they're very impressive. I'll keep the DQ6 in mind in case someone asks for a recommendation.

Youtube is painful to use without certain add-ons for me. For this specific issue I'm happy using "Clickbait remover for youtube": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clickbait-rem...

That is why I enjoy the original Law & Order series. Barring a handful of exceptions over it's 400+ episodes, the only deaths happen in the first minute and are not shown; only the discovery of the body is.

I was also a fan of L&O SVU but there is a lot of violence, more than what you would think would be permissible on network TV. There is a scene where the detectives walk in midway as a spouse being stabbed to death by her partner. Had to have a think about continuing with the show after that.
This seems to be a common design pattern on iOS App Store as well. Download a 'free' app and don't let the user use the app in trial mode unless they click a button that gets them to sign up, subscribe, or buy some in app purchase.
Brexit may not be helping matters, but it certainly isn't responsible for those shortages. Every western country is facing the same issues.

Schools near me in (not UK) are struggling to feed students lunch because the companies they had contracted to deliver their food dont have enough drivers. One company a state over just cancelled their contract with nearly 60 rural schools because they simply aren't able to deliver.
Meanwhile I’ve got relatives evacuated from Merritt, classmates who won’t be able to attend class for a week, and almost everyone I know lost power over the weekend. Facebook is full of people asking for fans and pumps to dry out their basements (including people I know personally). You say look at the bigger picture but you’re counting your personal experience as the best indicator of it. I’d suggest the news is showing the bigger picture.

This is a good example of how ill-equipped most people are to forming their own opinions about things this complex.

The WHO recommends against using remdesivir in hospitalized patients -- which is very different from your claim! The FDA and others make their cutoff point slightly but not substantially later, e.g. remdisivir isn't indicated when a hospitalized patient is on high-flow oxygen. Their disagreement isn't one of substance, just one of scope, and all doctors treating Covid know the rationale behind each cutoff point.

But instead any of that nuance, people say things like the "WHO disagrees with FDA" and decide that both are useless so they should take medical advice from morons with podcasts?
You think Lego are incredible, check out Gundam Plastic Models. They have runner's made of multiple colours, and ready assembled hinges that are cast in a single injection mold.

IIRC they switched to some kind of biodegradable plastic a few years back. I'm pretty sure they're softer, but it might be in my head.

What'd help way more with waste is if they would stop making like 75% of the part count of modern sets short 1x1s and other really tiny—often flat-topped, because the box photo mustn't display any nubs, I guess—pieces. If my kids take some legos outside, those are what get lost permanently. I get them to pick up what I can, and make a pass myself for any they missed, because as toys go they're gold, but some of those tiny pieces are for-sure buried in my yard.

That'd also make the sets more playable—repairing play-induced damage on a modern set is hell because of the fiddly little constructions they use, and there are few exposed nubs to connect things to for expanding/customizing/having-minifigs-stand-on-it, without tearing off a bunch of pieces.

arduino is one of those things in life that you love and hate: you love it because (its success) has opened up the world of microcontrollers on a commercial/production level, it has made it easy for amateurs to use smart electronics and its open source nature has generated millions of different libraries, all things that 10 or 15 years ago were only possible for big industries with big budgets; at the same time you hate it because it is a horrible cardbox-walled garden that hides how things really work, it is full of bugs and the documentation is often embarrassing;

and of course you hate it because it is the result of ugly dealings "all'Italiana" (who wants to understand, understand)
We have a shortage here in NL as well, and we're still part of EU, so I am not sure if/how Brexit is related. The job is being paid shit here in NL, and its high stress, especially since Covid-19. Its like blaming the current inflation on Covid-19; well, no, its the gas price which has gone up. And that is because of an artificial shortage by OPEC. I'm not sure why they do that though... I can only guess.
Very valuable insight, thank you a lot!
Why not using a de-wormer against a virus? Well, because that's what vaccines are there for. And we do have rather effective ones by now. All of which have a low risk of side effects as well.
Hmm. I think the issue here is, we are all in different regions. Not only does the country matter (Canada here), bit the region too (Quebec, Napoleonic civil code, and provincial laws).

Credit bureaus are definitely legislatively controlled here, and court decisions have an effect on them too.

No, not really. I mean, I'll use lane-assist and cruise control for very simple situations on a motorway. That's it. I know what the car is going to do, but I'm still driving and that's fine.

It would drive me nuts to have to supervise an FSD car through a city or any situation beyond the above simple motorway situation.

You'll never convince me otherwise. I don't want to be my cars manager.
I wonder why QWACs are less secure than DV.

There is an argument why EV should be treated the same a DV I'm not buying that argument but for the moment let's accept it as true.

However, now Mozilla is arguing that EV is less secure than DV. That seems weird to me.

Currently, browsers have root certificates for lots of countries. I can imagine that for a country it becomes a huge problem if suddenly a major browser decides to reject certificates used by that country's government.

Of course, it would be nice if country certificates could be restricted to country specific resources. Maybe mozilla should push for that.
