Ask HN: Best self-starter resources to learn web design?
Finding it a bit hard to separate the noise from the signal when it comes to learning web design/UI/UX. I'm looking to level up enough to be able to use design tools well + have an intuition for good vs bad design + be able to (hopefully) design well myself. Please assume I'm a complete noob. thanks in advance HN!
forcing US airlines to label Taiwan as China in their maps? annexing Tibet? all the power they have over Mongolia? Telco equipment sold way underprice to members of the Belt and Road initiative? the South China sea? the power they exert over Chinese students studying abroad? none of those are internal.

maybe you're right, depending on how you define citizens - though taking a page from the British empire, maybe everyone's a citizen!

Is it misleading though? I don't mind simplifications unless they are misleading. Would like to hear your criticisms of this meme.
There are likely an order of magnitude more lines of Java, Python, and JavaScript out there that don’t have this problem. You’ve painted a pretty dumb false dichotomy here with the Haskell vs C trope.

On a practical note, is anyone here a member of Friends With Benefits DAO? (yea not what you think if you haven't heard of it before!).

Curious to understand the value people are getting from being part of that network which at the time of writing costs a sizable ~ $7800 to join for full membership.
With respect, that's not true. I did a two week project with one really talented artist and a lot of off the shelf assets and we made something pretty cool and distinctive in Unreal.
You didn't really rebut the central point: If big bang toys go live, a bunch of boo-ya 'murca is in for a surprise. Wars against failed middle eastern states using 1970s technology aren't a good lesson for war with a half way competent modern state with serious money and bodies in the supply chain.

What will MAGA do if bodies are in the streets of Omaha and Gary Indiana and Los Angeles? The Chinese have been there with Japanese aggression. They still remember invaders on their lands. Most Americans have no idea behind cousin Tony's PTSD from Iraq.

130-140ms!? That’s very unusual. Can you reproduce that latency with UDP ping to a cloud VM or a DNS request to a cloud VM?

Maybe your router or ISP is messing with UDP or intercepting DNS and forcing you to use their DNS servers. Lots of “firewall” middleboxes do that by default. Or maybe there’s an path MTU issue that triggers retransmit on every UDP packet, but not on an established TCP connection that has learned the correct MTU.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when the unit price calculation for some high tech item is made. I wonder if it just goes like “component x + y + margin%”… what those components are in stuff like processors, screens etc must be so interesting!

eInk is not transparent, you canno have backlight. It's objective is to emulate ink on paper.
It reminds me of nutrition advice. The 70s said X is evil or bad. Then we discover, X doesn't matter.

I think in 10-20 years everyone will agree that all the "bad" RISC-V decisions don't matter. The same way x86 (CISC) was supposed to be bad because of legacy/backwards compatibility.

> Cortex-A processors that support both Thumb and ARM instructions almost never actually switch at all.

That is not correct. At least before ARMv8, most processors that could run both Thumb and ARM switch very frequently, up the point some libraries could be Thumb while others were ARM (i.e. within the same task!). A lot (but not all) of Android for ARMv7 is actually Thumb(-2). This is why "interworking" is such a hot topic.

Also, contrary to what the above poster says, switching does not have a "high cost", it is rather similar to the cost of a function call.
But I believe there is a new instruction set released by ARM every couple of years. Would Apple get automatic access to say ARMv10 architecture because of their architectural license? Or would they have to renegotiate with ARM (or NVIDIA?)

If they have to renegotiate with NVIDIA to get access to ARMv10, it would be quite nasty if NVIDIA decided they wanted a bigger piece of Apple's pie, especially if Apple has developed competitive GPU technology that made NVIDIA's somewhat obsolete.
Your place is in a mass grave.
NanosVM has a concept called Packages [1], ie prebuilt images that package a language runtime or application component eg Redis. It looks like they have packages for various scripting languages.

10 years from the date of publication, possible extensions while derivate works like sequels are still being produced up until the death of the author. No inheritance.
For corporation-owned copyright, same principle, but with an upper bound of 50 years.

After expiry, the authors should retain a right to call a derivative work original/canonical, but enjoy no other protections - so I can make my own James Bond movies, but they won't have the "canonical" stamp. This right would last a long, but finite amout of time (max 150 years) and would be inherited (to somewhat equalise individuals to corporations, since nobody lives that long).

“Faster” is a multiplier on the risk they are taking. It’s one thing to risk where you may only lose 5% to 10% more money if you take an extra day or two to decide if you should sell. With cryptocurrencies you may have lost 25% to 50% or even 100% for the smallest and most volatile currencies or even by forces outside of your control if you start investing in smart contracts and someone finds a flaw and exploits it to drain the money away.

These all happen at a speed that can take even seasoned crypto investors by surprise from time to time. Sometimes you only have a matter of hours to get your money out before an entire currency becomes worthless.

It sounds like you understand the nature of these as risks and are sensible about it but from what I’ve seen in my interactions with people who are starting to look at it now it’s starting to get widespread with some companies now advertising to “normal people”. These people are learning about it entirely from the PR coming from crypto trading sites that want to turn them into profitable users, their view of the risks is deeply flawed, sanitised for the benefit of the companies that want their business.
>As I see it, lower numbers of transistors could also be a good thing. It seems blatantly obvious at this point that multi-core software is not only here to stay, but is the future. Lower numbers of transistors means squeezing more cores onto the same silicon, or implementing larger caches, etc.

> I would recommend they don't chase down an armed man and imminently threaten his life

I think Rittenhouse had reason to fear for his life, but I don't agree with the statement that they were imminently threatening his life as a fact.

It may be true that Rosenbaum had threatened Rittenhouse's life. But neither Huber nor Grosskreutz had done so.

You may ask whether Grosskreutz pointing his gun at Rittenhouse constitutes threatening his life, and the answer to that is... maybe? But if the fact alone of pointing a gun at someone is threatening someone's life, then we have to rewind and look at whether Rosenbaum had reason to fear for his life.

We have video evidence of Rittenhouse pointing his gun at Rosenbaum while Rosenbaum is still at least 20 feet away.
This student gets an A because he added the "adcs" instruction to his ISA. Everyone else gets an F because they didn't.
Right, that's worse than being able to connect to a VM with full O/S and investigate the problem there by analysing a core dump or something. An issue of ergonomics with unikernels which I was hoping they had a better solution for.
Not really - it was barely read by anyone I knew, and I worked in well read circles. Ma'ariv, Globes, and Yedioth were the most common from what I remember.
I do run into those situations of course, where I want to see two windows side-by-side, but it's very rare and almost always temporary. Most of my windows run full screen, and if I need to focus on something else I just switch to it. It's important that this switch happens very quickly, so my window manager configuration has no delays, and every window is a quick keyboard shortcut away (either on a different workspace, "alt-tabbed" on the same workspace, or quickly accessible via rofi).

This workflow completely removes the need for a separate screen. A larger screen and higher resolution would be nice to have, but not for productivity reasons. I've found a 15.6" 1080p display to be sufficient with this setup, even though I have other screens I could use at the same time. It boils down to personal preference, but I doubt there's some "empirical evidence" that using more than one screen objectively leads to higher productivity.
Some ideas about what DAOs could allow.

The developer guild: A group of peoples (devs, ux, business dev) meet online and form a temporary DAO and start taking contracts. The DAO would give the participants 1) a programmatic way to divide the money they make 2) vote on directions to take (hire/fire decision, take/fire clients, pay of each participant given the contribution..)

The startup: Two co-founders decide to build a b2b saas in some vertical. They build a DAO. Start taking investor money which comes with voting rights about certain issues (hire/fire CEOs, hire/fire C- level execs, equity). Similarly, they start hiring founding engineers which a certain voting power in the DAO around certain issues (should we optimize for growth or get dividends, should we fire the C-levels..), which also get to choose whether to trade equity for salary. The level of democracy in each startup would be different. Some would give employees some voting rights about big decision, some only about wealth distribution..

The DAO in the second example would allow 1) new ways of governance inside the organization (compared to the board->CEO->organization) 2) new ways of wealth and risk sharing inside the organization (probably benefiting employees) 3) a friction-less lawyer-less way of doing both of these.

I don't know if all of this makes sense, I am thinking out loud here, and I honestly doesn't know much about DAOs.

You can't use SQLite from multiple threads if you are in single thread mode [0]. If you are in multi-thread mode you can use multiple connections to the DB from different threads, or if you want to share a connection then you have to serialize over it. Or you can use SERIALIZED mode.

This is if you do not care writing any logic. If you do, there are other possibilities, for example using a queue and a a dedicated thread for handling database access, but I personally do not think there are many advantages to this more complicated approach.

the point is the beds are being taken up by the vaccinated. the idea was after vaccination these beds wont have to be taken up by the vaccinated suffering COVID and will be vacant for others suffering other diseases.

It cost us $X billion to set up the line, materials, marketing etc. We expect to sell $Y quantity. Price = $X / $Y.

Or more usually, it seems: "We think we can get $N for it; so if we can make it for $N/10 we'll announce production and find a manufacturing partner to make them for us on credit."
You might be surprised how far contrast (and cursive, bold, etc) can get you. Eg: https://github.com/fxn/vim-monochrome

edit: Also, and probably a lot more controversial, code structure matters a lot. No syntax highlighting will save you if your code consists of opaque blocks of text.
I can't believe people still think that mass vaccinations is not part of the solution

Vaccination is of course imperfect and cannot be the sole measure, but we can't achieve R < 1 without a lot of it.
First of all I must disclaim that I do like the folks from hustle fund. They do seems like a genuine VC.

Next, the war for talent can be easily solved if you pay more. Same as the market for tomatoes.

You are trying to convince the farmer that there is a mission (special kind of salad) for the tomatoes , hence he should sell you the tomatos for 50% off.
I agree. A lot of software only wants protection against overflows but does not depend on them for functionality. If something wants to read out the carry bit, it should be explicit and although it is unfortunate, indicating that requires a full instruction.
I played an early demo (on Itch.io I believe?) and I was genuinely impressed to see an attempt to transform platformer mechanics into VR in a way that genuinely made use of the medium.

I look forward to trying this out next time I'm in a space slightly bigger than the one I have at home ;-)

Yeah, no, I think you remember incorrectly.

Quattro Pro was a DOS app, but it had a look-and-feel that resembled PC GEOS.

What you're thinking of as Amí Pro, I don't know. Samna Amí was a Windows app from the beginning – the first Windows word processor, I think.

MS Word 5.5 & 6 had a CUA appearance, but drawn in text mode. WordPerfect 6.x for DOS does have an optional graphics mode that is superficially Windows/GEOS-like.
Contrast ratio of E Ink is like 10:1. I don't know exactly how it compares but backlit LCD is approx 1k:1, OLED is 1m:1 in contrast(pun intended).
The attack involves relaying the signal next to the car. Essentially mimicking the key fob being close to the car.

For what I know you can not clone the key, nor can you record the signal and replay it whenever you want access. It's a one time thing to drive away to your nearest chop-shop/hideout.
Seems bonkers to me. If they'd been more permissive with licensing the tech, they'd have made a lot more money, advanced the tech, and they could have exploited spin off. The way it was handled seems petty and small minded in a stupid and greedy way.
I do not know what I am talking about, but I would love to see some type of crypto actually start solving some type of problem, versus just being a speculative asset.

With the USPS trying to get back into banking, which they used to do in the past, I personally think this would be a great stablecoin opportunity for the underbanked. Be a perfect way to send money orders from end user to end user, USPS could have cash in their coffers.
