Niche feature but tmux doesn't support graphics like unmultiplexed iterm2 or wezterm
I'm currently using termite. However Termite is no longe rmaintened. I plan to switch to alacratty or kitty. I'm wondering: Why did you choose kitty / wezterm over alacratty?
I raised $27M for longevity research (SENS.org). Summary of pro death arguments:

Fairness
Only rich people will get it. (No tech has ever done this.)
Better to give money to the poor than science. (family, city, state, nation, has proven local investment beats foreign.)
Bad for society
Dead people make more room for new, other people. (consider going first.)
Run out of resources (live people discover/extract/renew better than dead or nonexistent)
Overpopulation (colonize the seas, solar system, or have a war.)
Stop having kids
Worse wars (nukes are more dangerous than having your first 220 year old person in 2136)
Dictators never die (they die all the time and rarely of age)
Old people are expensive (50% of your lifetime medical cost occur in your final year. Delay is profitable.)
Old people suck. (death is an inferior cure to robustness.)
Bad for individual
You'll get bored. (your memory isn't that good, or your boredom isn't age related)
You'll have to watch your loved ones die. (so you prefer they watch you?)
You'll live forever in a terrible state. (longevity requires robustness.)
Against gods will (not if he disallows suicide, then it is required.)
People will force you to live forever (they aren't able to do this now, why would they begin to be?)

Do you think less people make progress faster? What's your target level of depriving life of existence? How do you plan to keep mankind robust from extinction events on a single planet? You might just need more people. What do you think our technology would look like if we had 10x less people for the last 100 years?

More people make more progress faster. Aren’t you glad your parents didn't decide the world would be prettier or work better without you in it? If great minds like Einstein, Bell, Tesla, Da Vinci etc., were still alive and productive today, the world would be a better place. You're literally asking for others to die out of your fear. The burden should be higher. Have courage. If living longer comes with too many disadvantages, we'll know 100 years from now and decide then.

Man up, save your family, save yourself.

P.S. Curing aging isn't immortality. You die at 600 on average by accident, and if the parade of imaginary horrible things comes true, even earlier.
yeah, i've set firefox to always reject notification and location requests unless i override it (for e.g: notifications for whatsapp web or a few other websites) - i'd rather not waste the mental energy being grumpy at a site for requesting location for the most trivial crap.
That's not it at all - the banners are not required unless they intend to track you - stuff like sessions data or theme selection does not pertain to the 'cookie law', itself.

The way most popup exist does not constitute an affirmative choice, which makes their existence & purpose misleading on purpose.
Feynman is a boss
I haven't accepted it. Out of all the websites i've designed over the years, exactly 0 have cookies for visitors. When there is login for members, then there is a cookie which is not used for tracking (but rather for providing the service the member asked for) and therefore legally does not require a consent banner.
Who's Hiring: Point
Haha. Exactly. I just commented above that the better way to have written the regulation was to say, “Thou shalt honor Do Not Track.”
SO is useful for entry level work mostly - topic that I'd be barely familiar with. At some point SO was so prevalent even w/o a search bubble that I had to exclude it from my searches...
I hate them. But yes, whenever I see a banner, I close the browser tab. And that happens to more and more sites, which tell me: more and more sites are crap. I'm better off living without them.
Maybe there were some, mainly because people don't read and rather rely on tweeter feeds from urban myths.
Ask HN: Why is search on Amazon so bad?
I have noticed in the last couple of years that search results on Amazon have become horrendous.

Often I am looking for highly specific items, and Amazon will recommend many items that have nothing to do with them in the first ten results.

For example, I have just looked into "weightlifting shoes" and the THIRD result was a cycling shoe.

This is in the Spanish store. After checking the American store, results are slightly better (the Spanish store is truly atrocious), but there are many bad results within the first twenty or so results.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
The point was that while nuclear waste is physically small, it is many orders of magnitude more dangerous per unit mass.

The number to look at is "water dilution volume" -- how much water would some waste need to be diluted in to bring it down to regulatory limits. For spent fuel 1 year out of a reactor, the waste from 1 GW(e)-year would need to be diluted in something like 3 trillion tonnes of water to reach regulatory limits.
This is dominated by soluble species like Cs and Sr.
I have just given up and disabled JavaScript on mobile. It has made browsing the mobile web much less awful even if I occasionally run into a site that doesn't work with js. It's reasonably trivial to enable on a per site basis if you need it.

Most sites are semi broken, but at least you can read them.

Most search engines are hilariously broken though which is sort of a bonus. Bing can't search from the input in the page. Google infinite redirects.
That isn't an inherent limitation of GPUs, though. More likely just a missing feature in whatever GPU rendering path.
Work in one of the largest financial org in the world as a Java dev for critical system (albeit not internet facing), learned of this just now on this thread...

Edit: upon checking, we're safe, it doesn't impact log4j1, only the second version. We're not cowboys using versions as young as 2012 lol.
What do you mean by “we” have “accepted” any such situation?

Most of the people working on sites with those banners aren’t here on this board. Even if they were, what do you want them to do? Refuse to work? Quit on principle? It’s not like we’re talking about unsafe bridges that are going to kill people.

Users? Plenty of users are annoyed by these things but obviously not enough to dent traffic numbers or encourage the rise of alternatives. Plenty of technical hacks throughout the comments here if you’re looking for a solution for yourself, but nothing scalable is really possible.

Regulatory agencies? They take a very long time to work and can only go after so many websites at a time. As others have mentioned, lawsuits are happening but it will take time for it to work through the courts and agencies and even more time beyond that to propagate through industry as “doing this will can get your company sued” for those companies that even care about such things.

> There already is a better solution and always has been, it's called setting cookie preferences at the browser level and then leaving it.

This. I've always had 3rd party cookies disabled at the browser level, and never noticed any website breaking. The "solution" by the EU has been terrible, and everyone just clicks "accept all".
And call me cynical but IMO it’s naive to think that this technology would be accessible to the average person. If it makes it to market it’s going to cost a small fortune and every super wealthy person in the world is going to be throwing money at it. It’s going to be the luxury yacht of healthcare.

There's necessarily no reason to think it will be horrifically expensive. Maybe it will be, maybe it will not. mRNA vaccines cost something like ~25 dollars and yet it will save lives for many years to come. It's a very effective medicine.

It's also incorrect to think that this is necessarily one treatment or one therapy. It may be a whole series of therapies that treat one aspect of aging over another.
I used to think this way and then one day I realized I had gone years without visiting that site.

I think stack overflow is mostly a series of training wheels that you can simply grow out of.
EQS seems to do pretty well in construction areas.

But even those ones are annoying and push the boundaries of “simple yes/no”.
That's true but as you see, whether or not the other party argues from that understanding is difficult to identify from a single sentence. I understand that it being convinced of something or not is a false dichotomy. However, there's a difference between objective reality and knowledge: Either the phenomenon was absent or not -- that's a fact. Whether or not we are convinced of it being absent or not is the other question.
Would that I could give you more than an upvote. Are these your personal or business sites, or for employers and clients? If the latter, how do you combat the hunger for analytics that drive non-users into users?
By and large ancient sources seem to also have thought that the Spartans were nuts. There are virtually no sources where Spartans write about themselves though, since they were not exactly keen on intellectual pursuits.

That sounds nonsensical, when people visit your website they run your code using their CPUs and electricity. You also get their attention and may even influence their heart rates and breathing patterns.
And the amount of people is just ridiculous, why 8 billion? When was this stablished to be the right amount? Why not -lets say- 1 billion and destroy the planet much much less?
Data classes were added as a core part of Python three and a half years ago and were available as an option before that. Why is this of interest now?
The worst part is, after all this time, most users are desensitized by all the banners and ads that pop up so they click whatever button they can to get rid of it. I’m guilty of it myself.

This isn’t the privacy solution we needed. It hasn’t changed the way users are tracked — it’s only annoyed people. The law needs to be reshaped to punish abusive companies, not users.
They went with .NET because it was supposed to bring DCOM into the Cloud via SOAP.

Except Cloud still wasn't a thing back then, and we had to go through the whole SOAP, XML-RPC, REST but not really, GraphQL, gRPC fashion cycle to come back to Microsoft's vision of Web APIs.
>Developer IDEs - From console editors to full GUIs to online offerings; all free

JetBrain's IDEs are considered as the "best ones" and they're indeed paid.

Visual Studio which is great for C# development is free too, but not for business.
Then you might be happy to hear that a pure JavasScript has been dead for quite some time.

Nowadays, most new large codebases run on TypeScript or some recent version of EcmaScript.

The rant the article is based on is not really about language itself but the tooling and ecosystem around it.
A thought-provoking idea is that all of these "beings" that we can't all see are inventions by people for various reasons, the general goal being to make ourselves feel better about the world we live in.
You don't understand what in itself means, it is a philosophical term used to distinguish between being in itself of something versus being of that for someone. For example there is no food in itself, food is always food for an animal in itself its just some matter. In the same way there is no value inherent in anything as it is in itself, but becomes valued by humans on the basis of speculation, use and rarity.
In the production of electronic things I've been pointing out that software needs to be on the BOM for other reasons. It is so often overlooked and considered zero cost even though companies pay people to develop it.

Making people look at a BOM would also discourage the mess that is npm.
Wow, this is exactly the "solution" that all the tracking companies love to hear from the people.
> the word for "good night" in Mandarin is 晚安, but there is simply no way to say this at all in Wu (e.g. Shanghainese, Suzhounese) Chinese!

This example is weak because "晚安" is not a built-in in Mandarin, it's a translation word (loanword tried to express in Chinese characters)[1].

We should ignore those loanwords when comparing different terms in Chinese dialects.

But you can't create an industry selling faux-compliance with only 10 companies!
I understand what he's getting at, but if you are trying to have an exact copy of code in order to guarantee an exact behaviour, then you would want to extend that to the operating system used to run the software.

One example was having code where the test suite ran fine on my local MacBook, but would fail on CI (Linux). It turned out that on Linux finding files by name is case sensitive, whereas on Mac OS it isn't, and a require statement in Node.js was referencing a file path with casing that was different to the file name's spelling.
That's the argument I've heard from the ad industry, but I don't really buy it. Previously, the DNT header was missing by default, so it's presence could be seen as user intent to forbid tracked, while its absence is ambiguous. Afterwards, the DNT header was present by default, so its absence could be seen as user intent to allow tracking, while its presence is ambiguous. That's exactly what should be the case should be, where only explicit consent to be tracked counts.
This. noyb.eu is doing an incredible work. I was hoping to see a link to their GDRP/cookie page in the comments. Thank you.
Honestly this legend needs to die.

I've worked as a consultant for the EU Parliament and they are a lot more knowledgeable than you think and for things they are not, they hire consultants (like me)

There are a number of people directly elected in EU Parliament that have a background in technology, I personally know a couple or computer scientists, with lots of publications in their curricula.

Problem is the law cannot be written the way you are arguing about, that could be in the form of a directive not as a regulation[1], the regulation must be general enough and cannot address issues that have different legal bindings in the 24 EU countries.

[1] A "Regulation" is defined as a binding legislative act. It is immediately applicable in its entirety in all Member States and it overrules national laws. A "Directive" is a legislative act setting objectives that all EU countries must reach and translate into their national legislation within a defined time frame.
I understand that, but it makes it seem off-topic for this thread. There are other off-topic (but possibly great) for-profit courses and such too, and no one's bringing them up because that's not what the Ask HN is about.
Accepted? Do you have a choice to opt-out?
Don't get me wrong, I love self-hosted analytics like Matomo, but there is never a situation where a cookie for any form of analytics is "functional".
The article doesn't mention it, but Japan has concepts of how much things cost that don't really change, and their "price of video games" has been pretty consistently around 78,000円 for the past few decades.

It looks like Square Enix has decided to standardize that across markets. I don't know much about the modern FF franchise (or SE), but are there any microtransactions, loot boxes, or pay to win aspects?
This still surprises me. It’s clearly one of the reasons for the rise of the right. People aren’t oblivious to the fact that every decision has positives and negatives, and that on balance people try to choose what they think will be most positive. By ignoring or refusing to discuss the negatives, you intuitively grow resentment somewhere…
"Therefore even if you’re just using Matomo stats"

That's not functional though, is it?

I understand entirely the desire to use such a thing, to understand how your site is being used, but it's not functional in a "delivering service to the end user" way.

(Personally I like the way it sounds, analytics without signing over the world to Google, but it's still not functional)
I currently have a more concrete problem than speed with leaving node_modules out of version control: buggy libraries that, as downloaded, need small corrections. Doing the right thing and fixing libraries for everyone on npm requires significantly more effort and it could be impossible.

Matomo calls its cookies "tracking cookies":

> It’s possible to disable tracking cookies in Matomo by adding a line on the javascript code. When cookies are disabled, Matomo data will become slightly less accurate

So it seems there's no "functional cookies" in Matomo, and so all cookies from Matomo without consent popup is not in compliance. You can disable all Matomo cookies and allow for compliance:

> By disabling tracking cookies, you may also use Matomo without needing to display a cookie consent screen.
Isn't that really a problem with npm and package maintainers? Node is really just a runtime.
Wasn’t that because Bill’s mom had a friend on the IBM board?
I have not accepted the situation and there is zero cookies popups on any of my sites / apps (some of them are huge businesses in EU).
Guess what, no legal issues at all :)
Well there's probably no version of everyone living forever. Societies will still fail. Natural disasters will still happen, not to mention wars and terrorism.

Functionally there'll still be an end-date for most "human" lives.

But there's plenty of meaning to be found in 10,000 or 100,000 years of life, without disease and death lurking around the corner every day.
US primary energy consumption is about 3 TW. If a 1 GW(e) reactor has 33% thermal efficiency, that's 3 GW of primary energy production. So, ballpark, about 1000 reactors, or about $10 T.
Of course not. But the popup situation is a mere aftereffect from the base cause - abuse of user's private data. It is there that all anger and frustration should be directed at.

Welcome to the club.
I don’t use it often. Before SO, I’d read man pages and still do. But when I want to remember how to do something like sort in awk, seeing an example is a lot faster than than reading the man page again.

You could argue that if I sucked it up and read the man page a few more times, I’d stop needing awk. You’d be right. But I don’t have your aversion to SO, so it’s not so bad for me.
With DNT on, Medium actually behaves differently! When viewing an article with embeds (like an iframed YT video), each embed is replaced with a small privacy warning, then clicking it loads the embed.
Yes, I included the link because it has information on options that disable it, like transparent windows, ligatures, etc.
The simple answer is that if a stock is expected to never pay any dividends, it's intrinsic value is zero.

Note that from shareholders' perspective, paying dividends is economically equivalent to share buyback, plus some tax considerations, so there are exceptions.
> it is intentionally solemn, weird

As a plus it has superb evocations of the ancient landscapes of Britain (admittedly filmed in Eire), in a way that I think captures a Tolkien-like view of a young world that is fresh and green

> almost painful in its lack in humor

And there is a subtle humour, especially in Merlin, who is more directly humorous, than say Gandalf (another mythic wizard).

> and jarring in its refusal to explore the psyches of its characters

It surfaces the personalities and drives of multiple distinct characters. If they aren't 'explored' it's perhaps because they represent distinct folk personas and Boorman was more interested in their interactions and responses to each other.
Do Not Track was a joke from the word go.

"Let's ask these bad actors to play nice, I'm sure they'll respect that, I mean, they probably think we all want to be tracked so let's just tell them we don't and it'll all be fixed. And make sure the option isn't obvious enough that normal people start to use it and ruin the whole thing".
Author here: I totally agree with what you wrote and I am taking it as a compliment.
I absolutely adore foot. I find its got all the features I actually want and use and nothing more. Its also easy to build and package. The only problem I have with it is when I'm using xorg I can't have it :(
> And with the Do Not Track header, I shouldn't even have to opt out in the first place. A GDPR decision to that effect could solve this banner madness once and for all.

Enforced DNT is part of the ePrivacy Regulation, which was supposed to launch alongside GDPR, but got delayed. Expect it to arrive somewhat soon.

Fiction is a tool for elaborate analogies. People learn well through analogy, and it can be a lot more persuasive than an economics textbook, because people might actually read it.
This approach doesn’t seem viable. The banners are on >95% of the sites I visit.
3rd party cookies are orthoganal to tracking. There are tracking methods that don't need them, or need any cookie.
As a frontend dev shouldn't you worry about your clients, rather than the boundaries of your organisation ? Harass whomever is putting the log4j dependency in the backend until they patch, don't expect them to know by default.
I have the exact same experience. I've tried to use npm again for multiple of times, but the experience has always become less stable overall.

How exactly are you guys imagining that we support a population that lives forever? Earth’s population cannot grow exponentially indefinitely. Where do these people live, what do they do, where does their trash go?

It’s not clear whether humans can live on the moon long-term. The more likely solution is that we’ll need to heavily discourage people from having kids. Is that really more humane?
When you load a webpage you're putting images, text, and other files "in someone's computer."

It's not all personal, but it's all unrelated to business. As an anarchist, I refuse to work on projects i find unethical, which includes any form of profit-driven project. Sorry i can't give you pointers on how to hack around capitalism, my only solution is pure abolition :-)

I should note that i'm also not a professional hacker. Programming/sysadmin is more of a passion than a trade to me, and i'm just a lowly amateur unworthy of much praise.

But to be fair, there's amazing non-profits and worker cooperatives building cool software (Framasoft comes to mind). If only more fellow hackers stopped working for evil bosses and started to work for public interest...
