People are notoriously bad at keeping their devices up to date, with some even intentionally disabling updates. This can be prevented by the IT department having MDM profiles with strict update enforcement in place, but I don’t have much hope that the IT department of any given US government office is particularly capable or competent.

Challenge: can you view my source?
I use VSCode. And vim. Every day. Am I a VSCode user or a vim user? Probably the former (my usage is slightly higher, but not significantly).

I suspect some variation is the same for many; it's a likely driver of demand for vim bindings (which are ubiquitous).

Even if people's daily usage of vim is much lower than their GUI-IDE of choice, the aggregate is likely far higher than reported.

I know that this is meant more towards design for digital screens, but I recently learned something interesting about black and gray tints when I was looking for colors to repaint some rooms in my house and ran across full spectrum colors.

The theory behind this is that actual black and gray tints put in paints absorb light and most main stream paint colors use it to tone down colors. It does the job and is less expensive, and will make the color a bit more consistent in all light settings, but the colors tend to be a bit more muddy looking.

This was why the impressionist painters generally didn't use black or gray tints directly. If they wanted a shade that looked black etc. they would combine tints from the ROYGBIV spectrum to create them which is why you see a bit of a vibrance in their paintings.

Now that I've done a few rooms with the full spectrum and can compare you can definitely see the difference. Another fun benefit it that the full spectrum has more nuance depending on the light etc.. It is also why it is impossible to get an accurate color match of expensive full spectrum colors such as those by Farrow and Ball to try to save money with a less expensive paint. One is using several tints, the better ones a minimum of 7 different ones with no black and grey, while the standard paints use 4 (maybe 5).
Thank you so much. Lots of bugs to work out, and mainly I need to make it much simpler.
We saw the same trajectory with high refresh rate displays. Back in the CRT days, you could set your display to 200+Hz on some monitors, 85Hz was common, and 72Hz was the minimum. At the same time, you had devices with reflective LCDs that worked outside.

Then LCD monitors came along, and suddenly we went from 1600x1200@75Hz to 1280x1024@60Hz. Anyone who complained was placed in nutjob territory -- "you can't see more than 24fps", "human reaction time is over 100ms", "you're holding it wrong", etc. Then, finally, high refresh rates became common, because they are objectively and subjectively superior.

Eink will go through a similar process of nerd shaming as the patents expire and new competitors emerge, but eventually outdoor capable displays will also become a normal, acceptable option.

But how does anyone get anything done in that community? It's all just words that don't mean anything; how do you cause any action that is more than just words?

Or is "getting things done" just producing words, and getting others to produce words in response?
I think the parent's point is that running a unikernel on paravirtualized hardware is actually neither: the entire VM runs in userspace as seen from the host, but you still have the data copy from the host's physical network interface to the paravirtual interface on the VM.
we've purchased at least 40-50 lego sets in the past three years and there has never been a piece truly missing. This includes several really big sets like the Harry Potter Castle (~6000 pieces), Big Ben (~4000 pieces, though this is not as recent of a kit), the saturn V rocket (1969 pieces), two different space shuttles, and many many of the more consumer-level kits, many of them very recent, with no end of spiderman (at least 8 spiderman-related kits), star wars (at least 10-12 star wars related kits), super mario world kits, lego motorized trains, at least three separate commerical jetliner-related kits, two or three helicopteres, frozen/little mermaid/moana etc, minions, etc. our house is totally taken over by many thousands of dollars in legos all over the place.

through all of this, there has never been one single piece missing, ever. which is kind of mind blowing.

What usually happens when a piece is "missing" is, we used the piece incorrectly in another spot - this takes some detective work some kind, but it always turns up, there's the piece! none ever missing, ever.

once the things are built and our 7 year old takes complete charge of them, then we lose pieces like crazy.
Hey, would you by any change be able to generate another background track for me? The one I have is 10' long so it won't be enough if the story is longer, and I don't know how to make these.
Really neat idea, but comparing this to wordpress seems completely wrong.
The regulations would address those issues as well.
The OLPC used a transflective LCD. Basically, the low power mode was a grayscale LCD with the backlight turned off. The background was a reflective surface that reflected enough light to give a, rather low contrast, image.

> This reads like "these dumdums can't possibly understand the law because only lawyers can understand the law and everyone else needs to shut up."

It's not. It's more "these [otherwise very intelligent people] can't possibly understand the law because they haven't bothered to read it, as they're merely reacting to the description of it by another poster" and just posted their first reaction to it on a HN post. This is visible when the answers to their posts is "yeah... the law covers that".

People publicly criticising laws with informed articles (or even people repeating talking points from those) is very healthy, but VERY different from armchair commenters who use their own ignorance about a law as fodder for criticising it and for advocating for their own position (normally to dismiss the law altogether).

We are clearly talking about two very different things here.

Unlike you're implying, I also don't want to censor anything and I'm not advocating for anything. Discussion is healthy, uninformed discussion backing radical opinions is noise.

You do know that memory-safe languages are developed using memory-unsafe languages, and eventually execute the binary code on the actual CPU?
i think somewhere along the conversation i either misrepresented myself or you missed something though...

The compromise is to cede the word "marriage" from a governmental legally defined word to a word that can be used by each person for their contextual meaning -- which is the only globally true usage of "marriage" -- marriage hasn't meant exactly one woman and one man in a literal monogamous pairing in basically any culture. Even in America it's at best serial monogamy. This would nullify the christian argument that we have to stop X group from "marriage" because it wouldn't be about _that_ anymore, by removing the terminology and insinuations they're concerned about it would become no different than a license to drive and afaik there aren't any christians arguing to remove drivers' licenses from X groups.

Anyways I cant help but feel like there is a lot of bad faith or miscommunication happening here, time will tell how it all get's solved, I do think we'll land on something that gives all groups of people a governmentally recognized status which gives basically powers of attorney and maybe financial responsibility (alimony)
I currently struggle with a 80+ parent who does not want to move and does not believe they have cognitive deficits. If possible, get added to bank accounts so you can electronically pay bills and check if they are being paid if not on autopay. This is valid if your parents are local or abroad.

Some of the tension I have felt is around notions of "dignity". When I read about OP's dad crawling up the stairs my reaction was negative. However, reading farther down about physical strength, autonomy, agency, made me see this differently.
I wonder if we would be hearing about this if NSO had paid its 30% to Apple in the first place.
Personally I like the idea of allowing the user to create a cast:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createcast.html

There are some weird permissions issues to work out IIRC, but this allows the user to specify how the json should be marshalled, and then can be implicitly or explicitly used by any sql statements. This is how PostgREST solves this problem, and I currently have a few custom casts created for range and multirange datatypes through my PostgREST server.

One settler colony hacks another settler colony, the one that had co-sponsored its creation along with Britain, the mothership of all settler colonies. Honor amongst thieves? No such thing.
I spent a bit working at a custom stairbuilder. Handrails that smoothly curve in three dimensions, either to connect straight sections or along a curved stair, are called "tangent" handrails. Constructing these tangent handrails is challenging. It requires both geometrical rigor in devising the plans as well as an individual craftsperson with a very high level of manual/visual skill. While we would work out the curvature of the rail in CAD or paper plans, a huge amount of implementation detail was left to a traditional woodworker, such as carving the profile of the tangent rail to create transitions pleasing to the eye and touch. Additionally, the variable structure of wood grain meant that the choice and orientation of the wood stock often had to be done piece-by-piece, often with custom fixtures.

I was a resident computer nerd there, so one of my projects was adapting a 5-axis CNC router to rough out these tangent rails. We were successful to some degree, but the fixturing and programming for individual tangent sections was very complex. It worked out that the CNC approach was only economical when the design of the stair required many multiples (rare in our case). Otherwise the skill and adaptability of individual craftsman was much more efficient, and the CNC was relegated to constructing jigs or 2D pieces.

My training was in high-end artisan furniture making, and the design challenges I saw in custom stairs were way more complex than almost any other field of woodworking I am familiar with, including the more technically avant-garde furniture makers. The only clear exception is wooden boat building, which appropriately enough was the background of many of my coworkers at that company.
What do you mean by settler colony and what are you suggesting exactly - Israel should dismantle itself and send away its citizens to whoever will be willing to take them?
In Indian and Asian culture in general you will take care of your parents just as they have taken care of you when you were a child. Old age is just like childhood age where you have to look after them just as much as you would look after a young child. Having your parents move in with your family is an option so that they don't feel lonely. They can also see their grand children and not feeling lonely at home. Loneliness is one of the main reasons to loose hope in life if they do not have good neighbors or support system. Once hope is lost then motivation to live long also goes away.

Not sure what other think of my opinion but I am living with at my parents at their home currently and just bought a new place and moving with my parents and wife/kids. There is attachment to the home we lived in for this long but we are looking forward to better life in new home together. There can be small disputes living together that may urge you to live separately but I feel if you look past them you all will feel stronger as you all know there is someone in the house to look out for each other.
I disassemble some of mine. I'm a Lego shelf person because I actually like the intricate designs and attention to detail of modern Lego sets AND because I don't have enough free time to be a bucket person in a way that would be satisfying to me as an adult. I think I'm pass making approximate version of my ideas and using them as toys.

I've never sold a kit and I don't intend to ever do it.

#000 on my screen isn't going to be pure black either. There's ambient light, the black level on the monitor, etc. Several of the examples of saturated grays in this article are low-contrast UI that's hard to read. Please don't do that.

"Words on web pages aren't black". But they should be #000 or close to it. Let the user's screen and environment determine the rest.

Interfaces are artificial constructs designed to be as readable and understandable as possible. Looking at the color of shadows and physically dark things is unhelpful for designing readable interfaces with sufficient contrast.

An alarming trend in K-12 math education: a guest post and an open letter
I tried hard for a few months to be efficient with vim. At the end, I was still faster with a laptop keyboard and trackpad for selecting and editing text at arbitrary places in a document ("random access editing").

One case where I find a mouse/trackpad essential: editing LaTeX documents. Being able to control-click to jump between a spot in the compiled .pdf and the corresponding source code, or the reverse, is invaluable (a feature supported in TeXShop, for instance). I realize that one can probably set up a similar system in vim. But, the appeal of vim for me was that, at the cost of learning a bunch of arcane keyboard shortcuts, I could go mouseless and as a consequence be faster. If I'm going to keep the mouse, the value proposition seems a lot worse.

Because the organization doesn't live or die (immediately) based on interactions with the real world. It can continue on autopilot for a while while the leaders/staff play their game of pretend.

Powers of 2 tend to be superior for more factors. Four weeks means we can easily reason about halves and quarters of months. Five weeks means we can only easily reason about fifths of months.

For a similar reason, it might have been better if humanity had settled on a base 12 number system rather than base 10. We can only easily halve 10 while we can easily halve, third, and quarter 12. More factors means it's more intuitive to reason about common fractions of things.

Earlier civilizations did use base 12, and we still have elements of that history in common use, like the special names for eleven and twelve in the English language and our 12 hour clocks. A common theory for the prevalence of myths about 6 fingered foreigners in the Bible is that these other cultures used base 12 numbers, and the only way people using base 10 could understand that was to assume that they must have 6 fingers to count with. Interestingly, you can actually use your fingers to count to 12, using the 3 segments on each of your 4 fingers rather than the 5 whole fingers.
I don't think parents should having children expecting those children to grow up and take care of them in their old age. There's sooo much that can happen (what if you have a bad relationship, what if one falls into drug dependence? etc) that you should have a solid plan for yourself.

Which is exploitable primarily it by memory safety exploits.

One of the nice things about this project is that it's shown me to what extent the internet has become based on existing content.

HTML is such a pain in the ass for design that almost all projects are just recycled — variations on themes, existing controls etc.

To be clear, I do understand that usability is key and that websites should function in a transparent and understandable manner.

Personally my principle is that the visitor should be empowered at all times.

A valuable passage from the article:

"We love the sensation of righteous indignation and the satisfying payoff of justice delivered. As the literary scholar Northrop Frye points out in The Anatomy of Criticism[1], “In the melodrama of the brutal thriller we come as close as it’s normally possible for art to come to the pure self-righteousness of the lynching mob.” And studies back this up: people get more satisfaction out of stories in which offenders are punished rather than forgiven.

The unstoppable moralism of stories has a big upside for within-group bonding. But the universal grammar of stories can also be paranoid and vindictive. Stories show us problem-drenched worlds and encourage us to turn on the people who are lousing things up. In other words, to proliferate narratives is to proliferate villains. To proliferate villains is also to proliferate rage, judgment, and division."
