I imagine the design challenge that Netflix faces is that they cannot keep movies forever due to publisher prices being too high, and customers are always looking for something new to watch.

Thus they have to try to make the most out of recommendations, and try to maintain a bit of an illusion that their current catalogue is bigger than it actually is.
the quote does not make any assumption about bigotry of the student, but rather of the parents.
Put a heavy bungee cord (the rubber type) around the log a bit above the bottom, then the pieces don't go flying.
I would and do highly recommend to my friends and family to stay away from Apple.

Computers are meant to be interoperable and not locked into a single monopolistic system which then had the power to make your life awful.

The attention to detail is also overstated when Apple cannot get basic things right. I have an iPhone for testing stuff and recently a numbered badge appeared on one of those built-in music related apps. It wasn't obvious what the number referred to, and to find out, I had to dig deep on the web on some user forums. The reason turned out to be that Apple pushed some kind of updates (e.g. new sound effects or something like that), which are hidden somewhere 10 menus deep. To dismiss the number badges, you had to go and open each of the effects from about a hundred of them, because there is no indicator which ones are new. There is apparently no other way to dismiss the number badge.

A few days ago another badge appeared on a different app. When I open the app, it has no content inside and no menus. So now I have a little 1 there that simply cannot be dismissed as far as I can tell. This noise makes all of the badges useless.

If this is not bad design, I don't know what is. Apple, not even once.
And it performs exactly according to that statement. Slow as hell. I can’t bare it’s input lag when typing.

It’s a horrible text editor. Maybe a nice IDE but horrible editor.
> the PL/1 design here is IMO closer to C with its implicit conversions but typed variables than to Perl and Javascript.

So in your opinion, the PL/1 design here is closer to a trainwreck than an other trainwreck?

Furthermore C's implicit conversions come nowhere near parsing a string to get a float, that's squarely on the Perl/JS side of the board.
>I love how HN hates k8s for no valid reason.

Circlejerk from people who don't run things in production, for those that do there is nothing better than k8s currently. ( period . )
Interesting if that is the explanation. I wonder if any browsers offer a "privacy mode" where the original images are saved, thereby preventing the server from knowing which specific images you chose to save and were therefore interested in. I wonder how often that information is logged, and whether those logs, if they exist, have ever been put to a purpose such as in a court case.
90% is pretty bad though isn't it? That means every 10th letter is wrong! Unless you're using some other measure of accuracy.
> I got used to that and recently tried to use a Polish bank account to pay on Amazon and surprisingly it didn't work. Amazon has sent me an automated email with a demand for a (push) transfer, sadly with added fee for the trouble.

That might be a function of Poland not being in the euro zone. AFAIK SEPA Direct Debit is only for transfers in Euro. Even if you tried to use a Euro bank account in Poland, either your bank or Amazon might not have bothered to implement it.
Difference is that they had to work all the time to generate enough wealth to produce enough to stay alive.

We just fill up the day to 8 hours because "everyone has to work 8 hours a day" -- even when the productive parts could be done in 30 minutes per day.
Interesting article.

I haven't used any of the features in that article. I do have a glitchy connectivity issue with a temp sensor so I cant disagree there.

They just have less pain points than any other option possibly?
It depends if your bank supports such. For me it does. I for example have setup my rent to go on same day each month for up to year or more to my landlord. Each of these is separate repeating push payment with same details(message/reference number). And all of them are pre-approved.
Because people with kids should have to take public transit?

There really isn’t an affordable electric option for people with kids.
Nope, it was a far more simple 2D game from what I recall.
> Even if the UNIX authors usually preferred the term "process"

The OS I learned on was called CTOS, which used the term "process" to refer to "the basic unit of code that competes in the scheduler for access to the CPU". A "task" was essentially what we'd now call a program, complete with libraries and sub-processes. We didn't use the term "thread". I think CTOS dates to about 1981.
C#10 brings some nice quality of life, which is always welcomed. Not all releases have to be about huge changes.

For example file scoped namespace is a very simple but great change, improvement for lambdas, improvement for structs, all of this make it nicer and simpler to write readable code.

Edit: I would also love to see ADT in C#!
And now you can't download that image.
As far as I remember from a previous project from a few years ago, the browser doesn't include a referrer for the download request, which can be used for a distinction. (You'll have to disable caching and E-Tags for this to work.)

However, this is easily defeated by the use of the console: Select the sources tab, locate the image and simply drag-and-drop the image from there, which will use the local cache instance for the source. Works also with this site, at least with Safari.
The problem with capitalism is that is so good to produce what you really desire that it causes addictions. These addictions change your character from a good kid to a bad boss, bad banker or a corrupt government official, just to keep your addictions to continue.
The only solution to the problem is a state cryptocurrency that tax all transactions the same and let the people vote where the taxes will go. This way, we destroy bad bankers and corrupt officials and we will be left dealing with bad bosses when they will come to us to request investments
Never seen Python described as verbose. Rx has libraries in Python libraries.
If you think scientific programmers give a damn about build systems you don’t know what you’re talking about
Not sure about the service in the current implementation, but it could be :-).

> I wonder why was Erlang picked and whether it will be offered as a service.

You see in open source exist a lot of spell checkers based on different languages - but in Erlang this is one of the first. In Erlang world already implemented a lot of interesting projects like messengers, chats, writted a lot of documentation where spell checking is need and important. Plus we already create some useful plugin for checking strings, binaries and comments in Erlang projects based on AST - but we will outline this in more detail in the next article, which I hope will be released early next week.

> Also how does it know how to replace "correct" by "misspelled"?

This is future implementation what we will try add into this library - so far this library offers only candidates for replacement. But we are gradually moving in this direction and will be collected more algorithms for it.
It should be ends with .offline
If you haven’t yet, check out the C#10 blog post, it has details covering all the changes: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/welcome-to-csharp-10/.

This version brings quality of life changes that make it simpler and nicer to write readable code, which is great to see IMHO.
What does clicking on that button do? Apple Pay isn’t a subscription service, it’s just allows you to provision 3rd party cards on your device.
Went to the download folder, renamed lisa.jpg.crdownload to lisa.jpg. Cancelled the download in the browser.
It is less shitty than spotify, but still shitty. I removed Music when at one point I was in the gym which is in a basement and wanted to bring up music on the treadmill. The overlay-ad for Apple Music blocked the UI, and because receiption was bad it took 10s+ to load that ad screen without allowing me to close it until it was there.

I am now using VLC for iOS and am not looking back.

I could copy the image from Firefox. Are you sure you downloaded it instead of copying it?
In short - yes, only for fun, but this behavior will be changed in the future - since you are not the first user to ask the same question :-).
What model has this feature? I haven't seen such a thing.
I have problem understanding what problem is this solving?

When the image is on my screen I can just screenshot it.

This is a common problem, using something in insecure environment, thats why companies are going into such extents to encrypt movies on whole train from source to the display and even those are regularly dumped.
It looks like a one-cup French press - what I missing that makes this better?
I wonder, if you made a video streaming app on top of AWS you could negotiate a significant reduction of fees, since you're not ruining their business by transferring out valuable data to competitors.
And if that's the case, I wonder if that constitutes a breach of net neutrality in practice, since in practice, a major part of bandwidth costs will depend on what kind of information you are transferring.

I don't know if it started the no-bloatware awareness, that was a remnant of the 90s, where programs were non-bloated by default (with Winamp being the most non-bloated program to ever have been created).
I didn’t manage to hit the small cross I the window that asked if I wanted to download the app, so I was redirected to the App Store, which was extra useless since the app isn’t available in my market. The text is too small to read and it’s not possible to zoom in.
The fact that the indirect jump that returns when an error is encountered is not predicted, is never worse than when testing an error code returned by the function, because that conditional jump is also always mispredicted.

The method used by modern languages requires both an indirect jump for return, hopefully predicted, and a mispredicted conditional jump. Moreover, if the invoking function is executed once more, but the next time there is no error, the conditional jump that tests the error code may be mispredicted once more.

Using multiple return labels requires only a single mispredicted unconditional jump and it also omits a bunch of redundant instructions for generating an error code and testing it.

For functions that may encounter multiple types of errors, the economy is much larger because testing the returned error code would have needed either multiple conditional branches or an indirect indexed jump for a switch/case structure.
I don't know whether it has been a while since you last used the SBB Mobile app, but it also offers the same functionality: start the trip by dragging a slider, stop it at the destination and the price is automatically calculated and charged from your card or invoiced at the end of the month. It works with the half-fare card, as well. Works all over Switzerland on trains, busses, cable cars etc. I haven't tried it with boats yet. :)

Like you say, a joy to use!
It does make good coffee, but it makes it harder to restart the process because you have to wait for it to cool down or you cool it down under the tap.
Email clients generally don't load external images. The majority should still display images that are sent as part of a multipart/mixed message though, and those should take up significantly less space than thousands of divs/tds and color attributes.
Why don't we use [PPK] signed emails?
The overall design is nice though.
Zeroconf on Linux works so well I get to see my printer three times - advertised in Windows format and Mac format; and by IP and mDNS hostname.

The frontend of Gnome shell at least. The API that the JavaScript consumes is still low level.

My experience with Gnome shell is that third party extension, written in JavaScript, is often leaky and leads to massive slowdowns in the desktop and requires a restart of gnome shell at least once a day. Which leads to the conclusion not to use third party extensions, thus removing the benefit of having a scriptable shell.
Could still be phishing though? If someone has a hack to let them see what appears to be privileged info then it presumably makes phishing much more successful.
I'm pretty sure the cloth masks debacle was settled sometime around Q1 2020, a year and a half ago. Anyone arguing about this needs to find a better hobby. They've been not recommended, or explicitly banned from airlines and other places, for a long time. They just confirmed this in a very rigorous controlled study.

> were paid money to be part of the group

That's simply not true. This is the document describing the intervention to raise mask usage: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mgY6k5SooeMt6PIqwx-7z5LZ...

It says they tested monetary & non-monetary incentives, but if you look at the execution table, it's all "Public Reinforcement". The conclusion was that Nudges and incentives outside of the core NORM [1] intervention had no effect on mask-wearing..

> Recording of masking was done via people observing mask wearing

This is good. It means they observed the overall effect on the entire population. Some previous studies relied on self-reporting which is not as reliable.

> Only around 30 to 40% of cases were actually verified via a test.

You can't force people to take a test. But the rate of positives within the ones that agreed to collection was similar to the overall self-reported one. The study goes into this at length. There is a whole section trying out a different approach where they assign the average soropositivity to non-consenters, instead of excluding them, and that makes the results even stronger.

> The education that came with the intervention group may have caused the older population to stop going out as much, which impacted the result.

That sounds like a very random hypothesis. I can come up with another dozen of these. Maybe it rained more? Too cold? Maybe there was a soap opera on, that 60 year olds love to watch? You'd think a dozen scientists from Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, John Hopkins & others would find a way to control studies for external factors... if it was this easy to challenge results you could do it for basically every paper ever published.

The paper is available for free here: https://www.poverty-action.org/sites/default/files/publicati...

The text isn't really clear, but from the wording it reads like the PL/I version will copy between existing instances of completely unrelated types.

AFAIK `with` will only "copy with overwrites", similar to e.g. Rust's `..x`.

Hopefully they hurry up with a new vaccine. The current ones appear ineffective.
And check it out in person extensively. Used OLEDs tend to have burn-in issues.

These are just unreadable in general. I'd prefer if normal people could still read the text.

Digging deeply into anything requires time and focus most people won't put in if they have any choice at all.

We have far greater means to temporally cross-reference media now than at any other point in history, and yet most news outlets outright abitually lie about publicly available information.

We vastly overestimate how much people care whether things are true or false.
Covid totalitarianism followed by climate totalitarianism.
Whenever I have severe back pain my go to solution is a bunch of magnesium citrate. This won’t work for most people as it’s an extreme laxative, but it doesn’t work that way for me.

Magnesium is a mineral nutrient tasked with the transfer of oxygen from blood to cell tissue. Insufficient magnesium is the primary reason for muscle tissue distress. Upping magnesium intake will allow muscle relaxation and healing in the case of stress. Magnesium citrate appears to be an extremely soluble form of magnesium in the body. It also relieves constipation from which lower back pain is a symptom.
This. I replaced a couple of NetApp and Isilon arrays at a smallish HPC cluster with 1.2 PB of research data. Ended up saving a few million Danish Kroner every friggin year, and got so much better reliability than the commercial offerings. ZFS (by extension, FreeBSD) truly is an engineering marvel in our world.
There can also be physical issues that can be masked psychologically. You can train your brain to ignore and mask many pains and aches and dull them down. IMHO, managing pain can definitely be done psychologically, at least to some extent.

Being too aware of the pains, obsessing over them, and being anxious and stressed definitely aggravate the conditions in my experience. Having an otherwise healthy balanced life in terms of work, relationships etc. with healthy amount of stress, makes some of the ailments very manageable or a non-issue.
> I look forward to large SUVs losing their social license. Men can find another way to feel like big tough guys.

The new 'social license' is to become weak for men is it?

Lucky women are stepping up then isn't it. They are driving the SUV market.

It's men driving the EV market.

How about we grow up and skip the gender stuff and work on making good cars rather than the pride in being pissweak.
This seems relevant: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...
I am not sure why every company needs to become huge. A solid business with good working conditions is perfectly fine in my humble opinion.
That is unfortunately the case with me and it took me several years to start realizing that prolonged stress can result in this cascading effect where muscles tightening can distort your body slightly. This in turn can put strain on muscles initially unaffected which can themselves become locked because you cannot release the initial strain. By the time I started realizing it I couldn't answer anymore the question what it feels like for my body to be relaxed.

so it seems like a rather useless point?
One of the most surprising things about moving to Eastern Europe (being born and raised in Canada and worked in the US) was how much better the payment systems are, from a consumer's perspective. Instant P2P bank-to-bank transfers, confirmed with a 2FA notification on my smartphone, are the default way to pay for everything from my monthly rent to clothing stores (which don't have a credit card terminal) to random ecommerce websites. ACH/Wires and Canada's Interac e-Transfer system seem archaic in comparison, and rampant with fraud (I still get fake texts about e-Transfers to my Canadian voip number weekly, and I still find the US system of wiring money ridiculously slow).
"The pandemic forced vast numbers of people not only to retreat from the actual world"

Funny, I just used my Brikka coincidentally 5 min before reading this post. I think you are right. It's such a simple design and creates better espresso than most of the expensive machines that people use at home usually. Roughly made of 6 replaceable parts, backwards compatible with other Bialettis, no plastic capsule waste and easy to use.

Last year I picked up a HP Jornada 720 from Ebay out of curiosity. Considering its from the year 2000 it's impressive how much it can do. The build quality is sturdy, the keyboard is amazing and the OS feels more snappy than most of my current setups. I wish they would do a reboot with better screen and wifi. I'm not sure if it's "the best-designed" thing I have ever used, but it impressed me.
I believe an OS based on WASM could have merit. For WASM, there is the AssemblyScript language, which was inspired by TypeScript but runs faster because it avoid the complexity of JavaScript runtimes.

Microsoft Veteran Rahul Sood Raises $5mio for NFT, Metaverse and Blockchain
Sounds great, I bought a pair just yesterday ;-)

I am really looking forward to trying them out. So far I have $40 NoName true-wireless headphones [1] and Sennheiser over-ear ANC headpones (MB660). I really like those $40 headphones, but sadly they last for 4-5 hours only and I reach that limit a few times per week. But since the true wireless headphones feel very different to the over-ear headphones, I decided to buy another pair and wanted to try out some high quality ANC in-ear headphones.

Given the factor 5 price difference and the fact that I am quite happy with my current headphones, I am very interested how the Apple AirPods Pro will perform.

[1] HolyHigh BE1018. They look exactly like these: https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/B07XFMHQDP
I've noticed all of these things in myself. I consciously reduced half of them and very deliberately kept or even amplified the rest!
Does that problem solving thinking ever stop?
Yeah it's like a breeder reactor, it makes its own fuel.
Totally. I probably should have put that in my opening post.
But, I mean, it's true. The internet would be a better place if it consisted only of POST/GET and static html/css. Javascript made the web shit.
And even if they figured out some DRM method to prevent screenshotting/screen recording, I can still point my phone camera at my monitor and capture it that way, if I really want to. There is always a way around whatever they try to do.

If I can see it, I can make a copy of it.
ridiculous dodge. if you want to bar your unvaxxed family from coming to thanksgiving or christmas, go right ahead. the point of a mandate is that it's MANDATED, top down, where businesses don't have any choice in the matter.
Down to the Salton Sea, it's surface sits 65m below the Gulf of California. You dig a 200m wide canal and massive network of locks, all you've done is build a half trillion dollar shortcut from the Colorado River to the Coachella valley, an area with no infrastructure.

Or you could build a 20 mile tunnel from the Port of LA/Long Beach to offload the road network. I even know a local guy with a tunnel boring machine company.
