> "The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-corporate greed, direct action and not "selling out"."

Substitute "Punk" for e.g. "Group" and read that sentence again.
> Those embracing Latinx have explained that the word — and the trend of making Spanish words gender-inclusive by ending them in an X — is not a product of the U.S. left or white elites, but instead, can be traced back to Latin America and Latinos.

It might not be a product of the U.S. left or white elites, but it comes off that way.
To test your strength, try Paris, France. Especially around the massive roundabouts without lane markings and intermingled with various extra red lights.

When you have graduated from this. You can afford a detour to Milan, Italy. Over there, traffic signals are superseeded by your skills at honking.

I was told driving in India is many time worse!
I don't know Ruby on Rails but i would love to learn it at some point. At my job we're creating some internal tools that are 95% CRUD and we're using JavaScript for everything. Vue.js/Nuxt.js/Vuex with express.js(on docker) and a shitty "headless" CMS (strapi) with MongoDB for backend. It sucks. We're writing hundreds of LOC every day just to create some simple forms. Our tech stack is so fragmented that makes it difficult to make changes and cooperate in our team. A simple thing like a <select> or <datalist> html element is re-implemented in a vue.js UI library and across 3 different files in Vuex. On the backend the story is even worse. Strapi is very limiting and it's not designed to be extended with custom business logic so we have to rely on custom solutions from scratch. Rails appears to be the best solution to our problems but our CTO only likes Javascript i guess...
The solution described in the post actually translates C/C++ to WASM, and then translates the WASM bytecode back to C (via a tool called wasm2c), which is then fed back into the C compiler again to compile to native code, all 'offline' in the Firefox build process.
My god, it's full of gifs.

I mean technically your skin protects you so you're protected.
For me, it's actually the rear view mirror. I can miss a car at a 4 way stop because of it.
Facebook moderates content heavily because that's what advertisers want. The major ad buyers don't want their ads to show up next to anything highly offensive. So no, from a profit standpoint it wouldn't be smarter to stop moderating.
That is a meme and not representative of the actual experience of living here.
I'm a huge roundabout advocate but the user you replied to is correct. Despite the Carmel roundabout looking safer, when you're there, you don't feel like pedestrians are considered. I've driven through them.

Smaller roundabouts in narrower streets feel safer for pedestrians even if the islands are smaller. It's really the street size that is doing the work and the smaller roundabout works in conjunction with the street size to make cars behave more like they're in a turn and not a road with curves in it.
As both a driver, and a pedestrian, I have felt threatened by a lot more distracted, dangerous, and outright reckless drivers, than I have by pedestrians as a driver.

While people stepping into traffic is a thing that sometimes happens in some parts of town, reckless driving is the sort of thing that is happening all the time, anywhere. There's an incredible amount of entitlement that many people feel when they get behind the wheel, which is not matched by their ability to operate one.
Impressive. Didn't expect it to be automatically text/captioned. There are other things like this around that make waveform audiograms. Could the text be turned off optionally?

Anyways, very nice for a free clip maker with logo and no watermark.
There's roundabouts where I live in the USA with stop signs. People didn't know who has right of way and it led to road rage confrontations so the government had to add stop signs to them. People in the area now complain that roundabouts suck. Which they do when you have to stop before entering. So now we get more four way stop signs and traffic lights instead which cause traffic to stop and start, wasting fuel and increasing congestion. Sigh.

On the other hand at least you can turn right on red which is something my home country needs to allow by default since I haven't once seen an issue with it in my years in the USA.
It doesn't say if it includes left turns from one way street to a one way street on red light. Which is legal in California.
I do a similar thing when a friend asks me a favor that is going to take enough of my time, think the classic "Can you help me build my PC?" or "Something has happened to my computer! Can you fix it?"

If I'm helping then I refuse any kind of money. I don't give guarantees or service like a business does, I don't want money like a business does. I do often ask that they try to learn from the experience, I'll gladly explain everything I'm doing.

The other option is I refuse, for whatever reason that is.

This keeps my choices those of a friend and my responsibilities those of a friend. I like keeping them that way.
> If the object is too large you will have contention to the point that you might as well be single threaded. If the object is too small you now have to CAS multiple things which is far from trivial.

Right but both of those things are true for locks too right? CAS seems no harder than locks.
Ah, so that's what a "Human" looks like.
However a separate documentary (Armageddon, 1998) illustrated the successful use of nuclear devices on objects of a seemingly intractable scale with extremely few casualties.

The makers of the documentary also chose an excellent score to accompany their organic capture of a moving love story along with the antics of a plucky group of misfits that came together in a crisis. It's the sort of thing you can only shake your head at and say, "Only in reality!" because if you saw it in a movie you'd just think "Nah, that could never happen".
NoWayDude.
Roundabouts where pedestrian traffic is expected should have the zebra crossing set back some meters before the actual roundabout, which makes the pedestrians move perpendicularly to traffic in all cases, where their visibility is higher.

If the user navigates to Google, the user is handing themselves to Google. If the user wishes to block first-party content on Google (which doesn't amplify their risk in any way), Brave supports that option via Aggressive Mode. Brave blocks, by default, that which is harmful. If you're willingly typing data into Google, their SERP ads aren't increasing or adding-to your risk in any way.

Brave supports the option to block all ads. By default we block the harmful ones. We offer options for blocking the non-harmful (but perhaps distracting/annoying ones) as well (via Shields and custom lists; see brave://adblock/).

If you wish not to see the first-party SERP ads on Google, I would suggest you not use Google. If you would like to use Google, know that doing so enables them to collect and harvest all sorts of data about you. But, you can hide their SERP ads (which doesn't secure any of your data) by switching Brave's shields from Strict to Aggressive.

Better to use https://search.brave.com instead ;)
Twitter users started using hashtags well before the Twitter platform automatically turned them into links. The important part of a hashtag is the syntactic # and not the HTML <a> tag.
Postgres now has UNLOGGED tables which are pretty similar to memory tables.
Ask HN: If omicron ends the pandemic, what lessons should we learn from this?
Yeah basically by the union and dysfunction at higher levels like sorting plants.

If supervisors could hire and fire mail carriers for performance and pay them market rate wages then the service would be drastically different.

How it is now supervisors have very little control over local branches. They can not control who to hire, in my district interviews for hourly workers were not even a thing, they can not control what to pay staff or what staffing level they need. They can not control the volume of mail they receive. While FedEx or UPS can refuse work if they lack capacity USPS has to accept the over flow.

Almost all new hire mailmen are hired "part time" with no set schedule for a low nationally uniform annual wage. The entry level wage for a mailman is the same in both small towns and big cities.

The union contract sets a certain percentage quota for "part time" workforce so under-staffing is the norm.

The senior mailman gets a solid middle class wage, while the entry level barely makes enough to live on in some cases or in others gets absurd mandatory overtime.
It's hard enough being a pedestrian, let's not make it harder by limiting where people are allowed to cross (only intersections with dedicated left turn signals).

If you meant limit the cars, obviously that'll never happen, so I assumed the more realistic interpretation.
World Athletics is up there too.

I thought it a bit odd, given its numerical/data analytical focus, that the article mentions mratsim's weave but not arraymancer which might in some situations allow a pure Nim approach.
I'm not sure what "participating in the culture of the city" means exactly. I live an hour and a bit outside of a major city. I don't go in all the time but I regularly will go in for dinner and a show, to meet people, etc.

Not that I would have wanted to do it long-term, but 60+ minute commutes are not exactly rare (and I once had one part-time), so that length of drive hardly rules out going into a city on a weeknight or weekend every 2 or 3 weeks.
Adding a blinking yellow left arrow could help.

I don't think Google does examine drive data by default, fairly sure it's encrypted.

complete E2E encryption Signal style with you having sole access to the keys and sync is technically pretty non-trivial across multiple devices (also the reason they don't sync device history on previously unlinked devices), so there's a usability / security trade-off.

Honestly not certain whether that fits the need of most users for most data they have.
Are you recording sensors output?

If the sensors have been calibrated in software, wouldn't you get the uncalibrated values?
In a few US cities they have what is called a 'lag left' where the left turn lane gets a green left arrow for several seconds after the straight lanes turn red. This has the benefit of having left turns occur when pedestrians should not be crossing the side street at the cost of some spectacular head on collisions when drivers run the red light.
i love it

you're hired :P

on a serious note, imo knowing exactly how to subvert a design or pattern shows not just mastery of the topic, but also flexiblity and when _not_ to use the thing
You need to take a step back. The end user is not asking for https whatever, they’re asking to see the same Wikipedia page their friend saw, adapted to their screen. Whatever gets in the way of that is bad UX

I guess the best way to do it would be to redirect the user to the correct domain based on agent, if they haven’t already chosen an override?
Stop lights will never be smart enough to tell you when you can "just go" until they're good enough to drive the cars for you, and then that choice will be taken from you anyhow.

Drivers must always pay attention to what's going on around them. Trying to simplify their decisions will just end up with more people getting hurt as drivers claim they had the right because the light said so.
In Bangkok the roads are very wide and busy. Every couple hundred meters they have bridges that go over them. It's an interesting solution to the problem. It's nice that you just walk up the stairs and cross, no need to worry about the traffic.

They're all over the place, most of them much more minimal, but similar to this: https://previews.123rf.com/images/ruslan_kokarev/ruslan_koka...
The big issue is that many places are not walkable at all nor have good public transport. So, taking someones ability to drive implies taking away their ability to work, ability of their kids go to school, to go get ID or vote and even to go shop for food.
That, and the density. I like desktop UIs to be dense. They don't have to be sparse with ample padding like on mobile devices since you don't poke your fingers into your monitor. Yet somehow, people keep designing desktop UIs as if there's a touchscreen or something.
You're right, and it's certainly a solvable problem but one that often is not solved correctly is my point. You may have to also introduce a (nonstandard) viewport tag to prevent mobile browsers from laying out the page at a much higher resolution and then zooming/shrinking on you
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_m...
If you don't, you may falsely conclude from manual testing that you need large breakpoints for mobile.

Also, many times mobile breakpoints don't look at the device orientation and pick numbers like 800px, to capture landscape orientation on medium sized phones or something (I'm not sure where this number comes from to be honest). This obviously breaks the two windows side by side case on laptops but is a top result for me if you google the arcane syntax for how to target mobile browsers with a media query.

I am not 100% sure what all the pitfalls are with the current interface, but they exist often enough for me to run into them semi-frequently on smaller laptops.
It is sort of a jughandle, but the diagrams on wiki don't really do it justice.

These exist on major thoroughfares where the destination road is divided. So you make a right and go to the far left lane, then go into a u-turn in the median where you can make a left turn in the desired direction without worrying about crossing oncoming traffic.

Here's a link, and if you look at Telegraph Rd. just north of Maple (a few hundred yards from where Jimmy Hoffa was last seen alive), you can clearly see the traffic flow: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Telegraph+Rd+%26+W+Maple+R...
Wow, that is horrible. The only thing missing is a _blink_ tag.
How would you even test this? People will be careful during the test, and then back to typical afterward.

I suppose a yearly knowledge check could help a bit. Could even be automated, so not very expensive to implement.
You think that's confusing? Wait until you hear about half "A" presses.
Isn't that what WikiWand is?
Yep- a rapid pressure release where the outlet is the surface of the earth is pretty much indistinguishable from a normal unplanned eruption. With, as a comment in the post suggested, a nice dose of nuclear fallout in the mix.
Well I don't think the 6 tons of CO2 is reasonable. But I think the someone already paying $150 in transaction fees might be willing to pay $112 to mitigate the environmental damage as well.
Would you be interested in hiring someone from out of UK?
Well, the moment you talk about 'possible solutions', you've already accepted the original claim. A problem described in vague terms has many possible solutions. Some of them will actually solve the exact problem, some of them won't. Deciding which is which is not trivial.

Ho do you go about it? Do you build and deliver all possible solutions, and then the customer gets to chose one? Do you prototype many possible solutions, agree with the customer which prototype is most promising, and turn that into the final deliverable, hoping you had captured the relevant details?

Or do you start working on a basic solution, let the customer use that and provide detailed feedback on what it's doing well or not, rinse and repeat until the customer says 'good enough, thanks'?
The YoLink products use LoRa for home automation. I am quite happy using their water leak sensors now. You don't need the quarter mile range, but they communicate with low power successfully in situations where higher frequencies might have reflection issues.
That we trust institutions and fame too much, over individual choice.

This is where we need to make Apple remember 2/3 can evaporate and make them worst off then losing 1/3. Yeah 2/3 won't go off completely. But so is that 1/3. The whole point is that as international community we need to vote properly with our wallets to make them behave. Apple cancelled? Now that is a trend that Steve wouldn't even thought of back then.
This is why I live in a public transit friendly city.

I hate driving, I think most people are bad drivers. Even completely sober, you might just be tired.

In places like LA driving is so essential people ignore license suspensions. Police often don't care, a friend of mine from nonchalantly talked about driving without a license or insurance.

I happily haven't had a car in about 2 years. No tickets, no insurance, no clown kissing my bumper. I'd love for more cities to invest in public transit.

I refuse to live in a city where I need a car! If I ever have to RTO, I'd rather ride a train. I can goof off on my phone, play video games, etc.
Thanks for the details bholley!

Do you plan to use the signal handler trick eventually? Less portable but in my tests it shrinks the total overhead by half (from masking's 29% to 14%).
> non-crossings

Which is and should be completely legal provided crossing is not close.
> On the other hand at least you can turn right on red which is something my home country needs to allow by default since I haven't once seen an issue with it in my years in the USA.

> Right-Turn-on-Red (RTOR), in its “Western” version allows motorists to turn right on a red signal after stopping and yielding, unless specifically prohibited by a sign. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Western RTOR on pedestrian and bicycle accidents in selected jurisdictions adopting the rule in the mid-1970s. The results showed significant increases in pedestrian and bicyclist accidents involving right-turning vehicles at signalized locations following the introduction of Western RTOR. These increases were: 40 % for pedestrians and 82 % for bicycles in New York State; 107 % for pedestrians and 72 % for bicycles in Wisconsin; 57 % for pedestrians and 80 % for bicycles in Ohio; and 82 % for pedestrians in New Orleans. Analysis of police accident reports suggested that drivers stopped for a red light are looking left for a gap in traffic and do not see pedestrians and bicyclists coming from their right. Countermeasure research and development was recommended to deal with this well defined problem which involves between 1 % and 3 % of all pedestrian and bicycle accidents.

Also Cockneys in old London would say cobblers if you were talking out of your hat. Also balls to refer to the pawnbrokers on account of their three ball shop signs.
professional unprofessional. we can surely agree to disagree. the web site is well made. nothing unprofessional about it.
Awesome work! This looks great!

One feature I would love to see is the ability to upload multiple audio clips at the same time. That would differentiate you from the competition
I totally agree!

This came up in a recent HN post so I published a user script I had written to automatically switch to the mobile version. You can also switch manually between mobile and desktop with ⌘ + M or ctrl-M. If you've switched to desktop and click on a link, it stays in desktop mode (it would be jarring otherwise if it kept flipping between modes). You can also edit the page with ⌘ + E or ctrl-E (opens in desktop mode since the mobile editor is pretty limited).

>So you also magically deduced that the author of that post had depression out of nowhere?

OP stated it no less than four times already. Quotes:

1) I feel ashamed of being that guy who is always depressed
2) The saddest thing is that nobody seems to understand having depression is not my choice
3) I don't want to be depressed no more than anyone else
4) I don't want to be that person of which everyone thinks as depressed, it hurts

He also mentioned being on anti-depressants. Presumably those were prescribed by a doctor.

Your conversational style in this thread feels driven more by anger than a desire to help or learn.... so I'm going to bow out of conversing with you. Best of luck.
You got me a bit confused by this. You say we shouldn't "just blame the drivers," but then advocate for increased ticketing. That's a contradiction.
That would be an easier target because it's a dictionary word and it's a single word. But what if your password is 'dogeatdogworld'? What if your password is 'x8GiuG08geejXx'?

It just seems like it would only be useful for the most insecure username/password combos. Again, I'm not saying that it's not a security breach, but the usefulness seems limited unless someone is willing to try and brute force things for an unknown gain.
This problem isn't limited to Windows 7/2008 or XP. It affects Win10 too.

>especially when the font is merely ugly in a cosmetic sense, and not unreadable

Eh, you won't go very far with this attitude in any design team.

Also, anyone who tried to manually craft font-family fallback path are already making effort. You can literally choose to not assign any font. Actually, it probably works better: most of browsers have sensible default (which often times is system font) already.
Aren't they constantly working on this tho?
Maybe you should talk to/help https://design.wikimedia.org/ instead of extensions.
Actually those things are all super "professional", they just shouldn't be...
The obvious answer is that it’s easier to blame drivers than enact meaningful change, which requires time and effort.

You’re absolutely right though, this is a systemic problem fand needs a systems-based approach to solving it. Speed limits, limiting hours for motorized traffic… there are many ways in which this problem can be alleviated.
signs and fines have minimal impact on driver behavior. Apply treatments to the road that alter driver behavior - the perception of danger is quite a motivator in reducing speeds (tullock's spike for instance).
Decentralised autonomous organization.

Picture a corporation, but instead of a board and CEO the shareholders vote on what to do directly. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I could come up with a better analogy.
> No other word in English operates this way.

Its not an English word, except by adoption (and accompanying anglicization of the pronunciation); it is one of many forms emerging from the Spanish-speaking LGBTQIA+ community for self-identity without gender specification (others include latin@ and latine).

> But of course the 1st stupidest thing is that no other word in Spanish operates remotely like this either.

The whole point of the word is that the construction of Spanish words (specifically, nouns of personal identity) is broken from the perspective of the (Spanish-speaking) people adopting the term. It is deliberately linguistically transgressive.
