If you want it to go up to 180 go have a sex with neighbors wife.

Jokes aside, isn't 90s is good enough? What's your normal one and high one after exercise? I honestly never measure.
It's not "engineering" if someone with go / no-go control hasn't baked it into the process ahead of time. IMHO.
> I'm thinking to myself: "just give me the highlights."

That's the problem though. The "highlights" should be front-and-center in the main content. If it isn't then the content is poorly designed, and the FAQ is just a way of working around bad content without fixing it.
Ep 106: How to Wire Essential Innovation Practices into Your Company’s DNA
Bitcoin is completely unrelated to tether. Bitcoin is highly decentralised. Bitcoin is not moving to PoS.

I'm not sure what your actual gripe is, but you certainly have no idea what you're talking about.
It probably is. Many countries have broadly formulated laws regulating marketing preventing things like false advertisement, displaying fake before prices etc. Though someone needs to enforce those laws.

> We are often asked...

So what they are saying is that this is a FAQ? :) Is it just that British English calls them "Often Asked Questions"?

Ok, they do them one-per-page on a blog, I've seen them done like that in the past too.
As an opposing pov: we mostly use booking.com for our reservations, and have never had an issue with them, and found their support useful the one or two times we needed it. They're the best reservation site that I know (others are way worse), and are fairly customer friendly [+]. I still book directly whenever I can because I don't want the hosts to pay the rather large booking.com fees... but we often find places to stay through them, and use them for 1 night stays, or places that don't necessarily inspire lots of confidence (e.g. have custom-implemented payment methods), or places that require payment in advance while offering cancel-able options on booking.com.

[+] Yes they use scare tactics but come on, they're easy to ignore. Who cares it's the only available room and 500 people are looking at it right now and 5 of them are already typing in the credit card details? Not me. If I can't get that particular room, I'll get another one, whatever. (I guess it also helps that we often book ~1year in advance, so we're reasonably confident that we'll eventually find something).
sure. in "india" banks have a even odd saturday but that exception is for only banks. some government offices but not all. private employers work 6 days a week across the board.
To be fair, DriverKit runs in userspace. IOKit, its spiritual predecessor, only allowed for the use of Embedded C++.
Not sure about Picassos. Picasso was a world famous artist that even those who are not into fine art know and appreciate. There is kind of a consensus on the value of his work, and even those who find it ugly won't treat it as trash.

The way I understand it, the kind art that is most often used in money laundry schemes is the more controversial kind. When some people think that a painting is a waste of perfectly good canvas while some rick collectors think it is the expression of god himself, how can you assign a value? This extreme subjectivity is what makes it ideal for money laundering.
They must have very little faith in Unicode support and correct encodings being used if something as mundane as µ needs an image haha
I was trying to use this same vuln for information disclosure since it also has an out-of-bounds read due to that lack of validation, but couldn’t get the extra data to be transferred back to the server. Would’ve been a nice way to defeat ASLR if it had worked
Looks great. Just wish it was full width
Isn't immer pretty close?
At what point does this become fraud? If they were selling stocks, and making it appear they had more buy orders than in reality, they'd be in jail. But sell hotel reservations, and you can lie about the state of the market with impunity?
60 Hz is definitely enough. The vast majority of video content stops at 60 Hz. Applications and games may benefit from 120 or 144 Hz refresh rates, but for the latter, it also means that you're pushing a lot more pixels through your graphics card - which may well not keep up.

IMO, 4K60 is a reasonable choice for those that prioritise resolution over refresh rate.
The general complaint with templates is they are instantiated and if you’re not careful can bloat the binary with multiple versions of a piece of code. But this is usually something pretty easy to solve: just don’t do something that would cause that to happen :P
> Why would you clip your nails, they're meant to be there /s

Nope, they're not.

If we'd still be living a hunter gatherer lifestyle our nails would naturally be filed down to a manageable length without much extra fuss.
Going to a bank requires a drive of 4 hours with public transport in El Salvador and is one of the many issues for rural areas.

But yeah, eg. Africa uses sms for lending and transferring money. Which is also perfectly fine and it works there.

Lookup 'mobile payment banking' and it works there, even with corrupt governements.

( I'm not saying the situation is perfect. But for access to money, borrowing, saving and banking, it's a solution)
We arrived at a hotel, then found out we could get the room for a cheaper rate than we got on booking.

The hotel was very helpful, and we cancelled the booking both from our, as well as the hotel’s side. Nonetheless it took Booking.com days to decide that the refund was legitimate.
probably passed an A/B test ;) (see: conversion rates)
That's exactly my thoughts. This is crazy. It is basically the wrong alignment of incentives. Wonder how we are going to protect ourselves from it right now and fix the system.
It's called FOMO and it works.

If you have real time analytics, you probably have a way to count visits to that page in the last X minutes. If I was a visitor, that number would be good enough for me. If the site also made it clear that it was not an exact number, it would of course be even better ("10 to 20" or similar)
True, but that isn't the case for the other more modern examples.

Also IO Kit is no more, unless one is running an outdated macOS installation.

And talking about the past, maybe discussing about dynamic dispatch of Objective-C messsages on NeXTSTEP drivers with the previous Driver Kit, would also be quite interesting regarding "bloat".
To each their own I guess, but to me you just described a terrible reading experience. Filling all available space with content may sound like a good idea on paper but columns of text should really limited in their width - that's just very basic and commonly agreed upon typography best practice.
Yeah ok, sounds legit. No scam here.
> if you write your information in the right way, people won't need a FAQ

Such thing doesn't exist.

You are ignoring the complexity of human beings. There is no one solution fits all. I for instance don't like narrative docs, but factual, math like. Most people don't.
I was under the assumption that bigger the monitor more the light and more strain on the eye. Am I thinking wrong ?
There's a lot of replies here about how FAQs are useful because users don't bother to read the manual. But...

When was the last time anyone read a manual?

Software these days is so easy to use, and so much effort goes into UX, that most software doesn't need a manual. Games don't have them. Websites don't have them. Web apps don't have them.

The same should be true for other sorts of processes. Things should be simple enough that users can understand them without needing documentation (there will be exceptions, obviously, particularly around safety). If you've put the effort into building something that people can use without reading a manual you shouldn't be getting many questions, and especially not the same questions frequently.

I think there's also a dynamic related to pay that's not often discussed.

My observation is that in the UK, developer pay in the public vs private sector is not so wildly different than it is in the US.

The public sector can reliably get quite good staff.
Why Does Your Business Need Custom Software Development?
Hot garbage is a pricey laptop that by design won't play well with very common peripherals to force owners into buying another pricey peripheral.

There are absolutely zero reasons why an M1 shouldn't work with 1080p and above, except the usual Apple greed and lock-in.
Oh, from my PoV all those 4K displays are hot garbage.

It'd be quite nice if Apple would upend the external monitor market but usually they prefer serving their own market instead. And as an Apple user today you are quite spoiled indeed...
Certainly not; the AirPod is designed to be impossible to push that far. But it does, like anything that occludes the meatus, go far enough to stop wax draining.

In general, all our holes are there for a reason, and blocking them up for long periods is rarely if ever well advised. But in this age we also suffer the siren song of podcasts, and it is therefore incumbent upon us to either deal with the problems we thus make ourselves, or go to urgent care and get our ears hosed out with warm saline.
I implemented this functionality where we work, but we did it properly.

We haven't done the "viewing" one, but we track every "add to cart" and every actual transaction, store them in a backend database and then use this to show badging that simply says "popular" on the top 5-10% of products in a given category, which is based on interactions over the past 24h.

Sure, we could improve it and make it more accurate etc, but I feel comfortable that we did things reasonably properly and it is a true and honest representation of the popular products.

There are SAAS providers that sell this functionality and it's super expensive ($tens to $hundreds of thousands annually) which is an absolute joke compared to how trivial it is to implement.
Merriam seems politically biased imo as this fails to explain the meaning of many modern day uses like "fire retardant" or the numerous uses in physics. The google definition from oxford perfectly explains its formal meaning as well as hint at how it could also be used as an insult.

Holding back a fire in terms of progress also seems like a perfect fit.

So basically what you're complaining about is that high-end products are expensive? How many 4k IPS displays would you have found at the $500 price point even a few years ago?
Tony Pua denies issuing threats against property developers
This is tough. It all begins with the person leading the team. Even as CEO, I had a tough time convincing my CTO to do this. There are only two ways I see this could change - either the leadership changes or something drastic happens which forces them to understand the importance of this. Mostly the former is what is going to pan out IMO. People rarely change
I write internal documentation of our tools or thirdparty tools we use. FAQs are helpful when the topics are very short and/or not linked. They're a stepping stone of getting something documented whilst you find a proper home for it.

I agree with the GDS's view though, especially when its public facing and intended to be read by one of the broadest userbases you can get. When writing a FAQ consider where else you could put that information.

The counterpoint I would use is Amazon's documentation. Each product has an FAQ that rehashes other text in a Q&A format. Personally I love it. Its easy to reach for and its very "no frills". However, the target audience is going to be very different to the GDS. Far more technically literate and likely know what question they want answered.
do people who use viagra have a lower sex drive or simply erectile disfunction? after all they go and buy viagra and then do have sex. it's not like they pop viagra to have the urge to have sex, right?
"Overwhelming manual" is not objective thing. Some domains need to have overwhelming documentation because they are so complex. Even with careful design of such docs (i.e. progressive disclosure, cross linking etc.) it still can be overwhelming and it depends on your background.

It also ignores the context - I create gov services, and people are mandated to use them by the law, not because they want to. No amount of design will solve that. They come to spend as low amount of time as possible in order not to have legal repercussions.
At the risk of joining the dog-pile against your comment, not once have I used this particular insult with any "ableist" subtext in my life. I interpret it to be a stronger form of "stupid" or "moronic", and that is it. I am aware that there is a modern trend to mark usages of this word as ableist, but I simply disagree.

I think a lot of people don’t realize that for people at the bottom of the stack Rust is almost a revolution.

We’ve had basically no alternative other than C, with a lot of failed attempts at half supported C++. A lot of us suffered the horrible experience of working with severely lacking C++ compilers in the embedded space. Unless you were working with ARM or on top of linux, C++ was a bad idea.
How is IPS high-end, exactly? It's table stakes for the modern-day. The technology is over a decade old, and TN is a strictly worse tech. If it isn't cheap, it should be cheap.

The compiler tends to be limited in how it can change calling conventions by external visibility of the functions. Generally if you compile a function down to an object file the compiler will want to make that object file linkable with any other object files importing that symbol properly.

Whole program optimization gives the compiler some ways around that. I am not sure how much freedom it gives the compiler.

I don't own one. Haven't given it a serious thought. But as a non user, it annoys me. I can't work next to a person who is banging away on the mechanical keyboard. I don't know the benefits he is gaining but it definitely affects my ability to concentrate. I am pretty much on my headphones when ever I am sitting next to a mechanical keyboarder.
As you point out, the vast majority of hotel booking platforms in the US and Europe are controlled by either Booking Holdings or Expedia Group. Whatever website you use, chances are it's really of one of these conglomerates. But some notable exceptions include:

Trip.com
Tripadvisor
Lastminute

(Trivago used to be another major independent, but Expedia Group now owns the majority of it's shares)
Perhaps it is just travel anxiety? I book hotels a few hours in advance and stats like "only 2 rooms left", are usually correct when I check with hotel reception. At least in Europe booking.com is much better than competition. It has loyalty discounts, transparent pricing and consistent experience. Reviews and descriptions are actually useful, not BS. Emails I get are usually "place you looked at become 30% cheaper".
> The author suspects differently, he does suspect a state actor behind KAX17. Do you have better Information?

FWIW, I also expect them to be a government... but not the NSA. They might not even be a government, though.

> KAX17 at times had bandwidth capabilities of 150 Gbit/s that is getting awfully close to the full bandwidth of the uni and would get noticed and shutdown pretty quickly.

You can do this with a botnet of a mere few thousand cable modems, which means that people like me (look into who I am if you haven't) can pull this in our spare time... it just requires being a bit evil, which these people almost certainly are.

> You seem to ignore the fact that running nodes with this capabilities requires significant resources.

No: I just have a realistic model of how large Tor is, which is "ridiculously small".

> If the tor network was big enough all this wouldn't be an issue, no need for any crypto currency constructs.

So, I did cover the things Tor has right now to get this kind of scaling, and while they aren't insane they are clearly precarious: they rely on the scarcity of IPv4 addresses and manual curation by a very small cabal of people whom I would not trust to protect anyone if actually threatened running on a handful of hopefully-secure machines.

If you correctly discount the weight of these precarious solutions, the size of Tor doesn't matter. If you want to build a system where it costs a lot to register a node, you don't do "proof of IPv4"--which might not make sense at all in the future and is easy to forge--you just do something as close as possible to "proof of a giant pile of cash", as that will always have value and always be difficult to obtain in quantity.

> Effective at what? Keeping the NSA out? I suspect the NSA (as well as many others) have a good idea about a significant portion of bitcoin ownership.

I don't understand this... maybe you are trying to draw some haphazard analogy mapping to anonymity networks? What Bitcoin provides is a distributed ledger, and having a sizable control of it isn't about deanonymization but about delinearization: if you own more than 50% of Bitcoin you can reorder recent transactions (which lets you buy something expensive and then undo the transaction). You have to analyze these systems by what they intend to provide based on maintaining their trusted subset.

Is this a typo, or is my understanding of "manifest typing" incorrect?
After having bad outbreaks of Roscea and Blepharitis. I make more effort to catch up with friends, family and go to events. Also worth resting your eyes every 20 minutes and looking at something about 6 meters (20 feet away).

They are not strangers to limiting or breaking existing protocols or standards in favor of their own implementation, and then saying "see? Apple just works".

Take their broken SMB implementation in OSX as an example.

Valuing yourself and setting boundaries will prevent this precise outcome in all but the most extreme cases (where you probably need to do more than just leave, because if the abuse is that extreme it becomes criminal).

Man, that's really interesting

Looks like Monero hasn't been pumping or dumping quite as much as other cryptocurrencies, maybe that means its creators actually care about making it useful as currency rather than as a medium for ~~scams~~ "investments"

I'd love an ad-free future, but something tells me that there'll always just be too much pressure to make more ads. Hell, Amazon is pumping $10,000,000 per episode into a TV show that's arguably just a big ad for Amazon (subscribe to our TV service to watch this show, buy some socks and video games while you're here)
More T is not necessarily a good thing as it might mean that the body has more trouble converting it and make it do its job.
Python's the main language I've used professionally (i.e. used most by a long shot) and I agree. I think it's just a newer style, newer languages and frameworks seem to have a more structured/hierarchical/indexed style like that IME.

I would spend $1k on the site and $29k for 6 months doing whatever I want.

You would get the exact same results for $1k and $30k, the only difference would be the developer's profit.

By definition, an FAQ covers the common cases, not the full complexity of human beings. The long tail of edge cases need a full reference manual, not an FAQ.
It felt nice when i discovered shellcheck. I made the mistake of trying to get my scripts 100% compliant... and was then astounded to find i broke several of them.

If you don't know what you are doing, and shellcheck knows more, it might be useful. But if you know what you are doing, shellcheck becomes annoying quickly.

Example: echo "$(command)" is marked as SC2005, useless echo. But command does not always print a newline, so "fixing" this would garble your output under some conditions.
In that case we also wouldn't be posting on HN.

More broadly it seems not terribly useful to concern ourselves with how we would best live in some idealized alternate universe, instead of how we do best live in this one, where among other things we stuff singing wads of plastic in our ears all day.
