Good point, assuming I can cancel the order I already made for a P8 watch( one thing I do love about Amazon is canceling is very very easy compared to other retailers )
I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

>> Part of sharing your work is making sure what you put out is actually helpful to people.

No, people get to decide for themselves what is helpful to them. Assuming developers want to make the best tool they can, they still have to do so within the resource constraints they have. Dropping a feature or ignoring requests is part of that.
Is there really any benefit to poison? There're variety of effective traps. At least with traps you know where the dead (or live) rat is and it's not going to cause problems like dying behind a wall or something.
Looks promising! It seems fast, and I like the idea of a more stripped-down terminal app. I use iTerm, which simply has too much.

That said, it has a long way to go to beat iTerm for me. Seems more like an early alpha than a finished product?

For example, out of the box, it does not support European keyboard layouts:

* I cannot type "|" because the Alt key doesn't seem to work, not even with "send_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed" enabled.

* Similarly, I also cannot use Super+"[" or Super+"]" to switch tabs, because on my keyboard, "[" and "]" are Alt-7 and Alt-8 respectively.

* While Cmd+"-" works to reduce the font size, Cmd+"=" does nothing, probably because "=" requires shift on my keyboard.

There's no GUI as such. For example, attempting to close a tab brings up a text mode dialog inside the terminal window, which feels strange and antiquated. Same with the find function; the latter is more concerning, since you don't get access to normal UI functions such as like selection.

Right-clicking also doesn't bring up the standard macOS context menu.

This makes perfect sense to me. If I were a billionaire, I'd very quickly drop down to millionaire because I'd be putting 99% of my funds into solving the "our bodies and brains are ridiculously failure-prone" problem. And I'd be begging every other billionaire to do the same.

You value Bitcoin like every other currency, like US dollar or Turkish lira. However, you have to go back in history to learn what happens when multiple currencies compete in a free market (gold, silver, copper, etc.). People typically want to save the money which has the lowest expected dilution and get rid of all other forms of money. On top of that, people want to save the money which everyone else is saving. You can't predict the value, but you can predict the direction where wealth is flowing.

In the carbon cycle, the impact is obvious. Think about it: one just recycles carbon through photosynthesis with at worse no net change in the amount of carbon in the system, while the other is based on literally digging industrial amounts of carbon out of the ground to introduce it into the system.
There are better mouse traps than those sold at grocery stores.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082LP4VS1 - snap traps of this type are easier to set, and were more reliable at killing mice for me.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Authenzo-Humane-Mouse-Trap-Smart-... - live traps were also effective for me. You have to be strategic about where you put them. I kept a bucket of water on the porch and would dunk the whole trap with mouse inside to drown it. Less humane perhaps than snap traps, but better than glue or poison. If you rotate between kinds of trap week over week you can get pretty reliable results.
Dune is made up. While arguing with history makes some sense, arguing what might happen make some sense, arguing by "fiction had this story in it" does not make sense.

I have been using an app called FitNotes on Android for all of my gym tracking for what must be about seven years now. It is very simple, has zero ads, and provides exactly the features I need for lifting without any unnecessary bloat. I'm not prompted to make an account, or sync anything to the cloud (unless I want to save a backup of my data somewhere like Google Drive, for example, which I do when switching phones). It's just a very pleasant, simple app to use without any superfluous bells and whistles or annoying UX flows.

Ah, so they had to add it because they plan on removing the security manager API. So it is a breaking change for the sake of another breaking change.
The only time Stack Overflow is useful to me is when I'm trying to find something to do with Javascript which I barely touch. Even then it's barely useful because of how much browsers change.
Of course you could, you make a new version of your smart contract or blockchain and people use that instead.

>The riots would collapse society.

Except you're starting to see the first cracks of that, but we're just too busy to see it: when you have people willing to die for a chance of a better life, then you're not that far from it.

>To imply that longevity will not some day be available to all is absurd.

How can you say that when longevity isn't available to all in the current days?

>There is no renewal process. There is only a permanent end. A void that you will never escape from.

Of course there's a renewal process, old habits, vices, skewed and biased perspectives of the world are all flushed and reset with death. The only void is the space you leave and that will eventually be filled up, and that's ok.
I like them. They are a sure signal which websites to avoid.
Same as 'allow notification' banners.

Although, to be honest, some (smaller) sites do it just because 'everybody does that' and they think they have to to comply to the law.
Bc you wanna see the output? With less you can go page by page and read the output. If there is so much output you can't read it.. then what's the point of printing it to the screen?

If you're looking for something in the stream then maybe you should grep for it?

I'm not saying you never ever should barf to screen - but as far as I can see, you kinda have to strain yourself to concoct a "valid" usecase
Well non-profits like NOYB are starting to create automatic systems to send GDPR complaints to non-compliant websites.

"Blame it on the GDPR? Many internet users mistake this annoying situation as a direct outcome of the GDPR, when in fact companies misuse designs in violation of the law. The GDPR demands a simple “yes” or “no”, as reasonable people would expect, but companies often have the power over the design and narrative when implementing the GDPR."

I used to read the encyclopedia when I was little, before I had the internet. Was I fractionally connected to the internet, as opposed to 100% unfettered Wikipedia access?
I agree. I was just providing some contrast. I am not pro-death.
I can imagine the maintainers being scared of silently breaking the workflow and monitoring for some users. If you change this feature to opt-in, you may silently break the alerting system users built on top of this feature, and then you get the heat for breaking a somebody’s IT system(a hospital maybe), just because you hated that feature. That it had an RCE would not be known at the time.

In a perfect world, the feature would have been an option from the start, but in that same perfect world, the downstream users would be diligent and check release notes before upgrading. You might, but many of your colleagues don’t, they just upgrade, and complain when their system breaks.
There is no "by your reasoning" here at all. That is miles away from what he actually said.

> Here's a better idea, can't you have an npm cache/clone that keeps all the artifacts you use in your code? So you pull from it, it pulls from npm and caches?

Not only is that possible, that's also expected to be mandatory in any company that is required to monitor ad control dependencies. I know for a fact that some FANGs do manage and enforce the use of internal npm repositories, mainly because of infosec audits, and I doubt Google is not one of them.
Theoretically, you should have UX advantage by not showing annoying cookie pop-ups. The catch is, you are not allowed to share their data with 3rd parties, therefore if you like to have no cookie pop-up's you should respect your visitors privacy.

These cookie warnings are not compulsory or anything like that, what is compulsory is to inform the user and let them choose what information you are going to share with others about them.

My only guess is, those who operate the websites value the returns from data sharing more than the returns of a good user experience. They even engineer those pop-ups to be as annoying as possible to opt-out so that the users compel to share their data.
> This is idiotic and could only be written by someone that have no idea about node package managements.

Some of your points are valid, but the first sentence seems really hand-wavy and rude.

> 1. Most of CI systems have better options for caching node modules[1][2]. When you check node_modules, you add fixed cost(increasing) for every commit. When you use CI caching you add fixed cost(static) to only small number of builds.

I was wondering about this too[0], mostly because it's the setup I tended to gravitate towards for my projects. Gitlab CI and Travis can do this AFAIK, although I'm not sure how long the cache folders would be kept (especially on the Free tier).

Researchers are hoping to “hear” dark matter using a super-cooled experiment
> Without a fundamental reshaping of the web economy

That's actually quite easy: leave any webpage with cookie banners as fast as possible. Or at least disable everything.
Laws that require software companies to implement a user choice should really contain some wording against dark patterns. EU lawmakers could have been warned: A similar thing happened back when Microsoft was forced to give users in the EU a choice of browsers, when they created the most confusing dialog possible and hoped that users would just click OK to Internet Explorer out of desperation.

For me personally, when those data protection laws where implemented, seeing the extent of the market for user tracking was a shock to me. The respect that I lost for actually quite a lot of companies as a consequence has informed some purchasing decisions. And I don’t think anybody would mind those banners if the opt-out option you want to click is reachable with a single, easily visible button.

Edit: Responses suggest that the GDPR already contains something to that effect. Glad to know. If that’s true, then I guess it’s time for court cases to sort this out.
> It seems fast

I was intrigued by WezTerm, but after a few tests I realized that it was ~3 times slower than Kitty (my current terminal of choice) in printing random stuff on the screen, so I decided to stick with the latter. It is a pity, because I love the way WezTerm can be configured!
Exactly.

My favorite example are sites which require you to opt out of hundreds of third party processors individually (advertising partners who may receive data). That's as dark a pattern as it gets.

It's also in clear violation of how opt-out is actually supposed to work, at least in the EU.

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.
We are already doing the unegalitarian distribution of medicine with horrifically expensive drugs for fighting cancers.

We are also seeing relatively egalitarian drugs like mRNA vaccine against COVID being distributed to the population at large, only that some refused it. Meanwhile, the third world just lag behind in vaccination.

Some of which can be solved through better social cohesion and better systems, but a lot of the challenge will be simply in getting the cost of technology down or finding cheaper way to do something.

Therapies for longevity is unlikely to be a single drug or treatment, more likely a whole series of them. I also don't know if they're going to be expensive or cheap.

However, the best and most effective medicine in the world are often very cheap or relatively so, such as mRNA vaccines(~25 USD or so) and they saved countless lives. I am hopeful that more effective medicine will be cheap and affordable, or at least basically 'self-funding' in that lives saved will dramatically affect the economic balance sheet of countries for the better.
I'm looking at the list of NASA repos and thinking to myself: why am I still not able to follow an organization on github? It's almost 2022 and it's still not possible.
I also don't know why we have accepted them. I would have wished that browser vendors made these dialogues a part of the web specification so that the UX/UI is at least streamlined.
It's important to understand that while people might think that the pop-ups are required by the law, this is not true and most pop-ups today have no legal effect regardless of what you click. The GDPR requires express consent. If the pop-up uses a dark pattern to make "refusing consent" difficult, then clicking on whatever it takes to make the pop-up go away isn't consent.

And just setting a cookie doesn't necessarily need consent either, if it's used directly to provide the service (eg. a cookie to track your login session or your shopping basket).

A change requires the authorities to actually start enforcing this. https://noyb.eu is campaigning for this.
Imagine you are "filthy rich", what would be your main worry? Having money without having time is meaningless. Consider also that "crypto millionaires" are often sophisticated "lottery winners", they didn't get their money like Bezos or Musk.
The bright side is that society as a whole will profit from this also.
I used to be left handed as a child, but my grandfather would refuse to look at my drawings if I drew them with my left hand. This (successfully, I guess?) prompted me to start trying to draw with my right hand so that he'd look at my creations, resulting in my becoming right-handed.

If I think about it, I _kind of_ wish he'd just let me stay left-handed. It was like a slightly "quirky" trait was trained out of me, which I think would've been cool to keep. But it's not a big deal, and I have no strong feelings either way.
We're fortunate enough to have an owl (I assume a pair) and a couple of hawk pairs in my neighborhood (I can see them in the nest). There are also snakes (I've had to coerce a 3' black racer off my porch). Rodents have never been an issue.

The problem with denser city living is there isn't a lot of habitat for natural predators.

Aren't Americans struggling getting diabetes medicine? And chemo? Is it a reasonable expectation that this treatment, whatever it is, will be any different?
I see. Poor MacOS support isn't indicative of an unhealthy project, but I can see why MacOS users might want to avoid such projects.
It does matter. To quote the original parent: "do I need to worry about this as a frontend web developer?"

A frontend web developer doesn't manage nginx, nor ES.

The backend should be patched. It is not safe to just mitigate the bug by using code in the frontend.

Ask HN: Why is building Windows apps so complicated?
So I decide to build a windows 11 app. I already know some .NET and C/family from school and look through the source of C# and it doesn't seem too complicated.

However, building Windows apps is very complicated even when you know C++ or C#.

1. I wanted to build Windows 11 apps and I had to choose between Windows Forms, WinUI3, Win32 and WPF I think. I don't really know the difference between the 3 and no one really explains that (unless Win32 which is obvious).

2. Apparently, WUP is no longer recommended. A few years they were pushing it to the max. Bummer.

3. I installed Visual Studio overnight (it comes with all the tools that building apps need). It downloaded 6GB of data and used 20GB of storage. All i want to build is a hello world app.

4. I create a project following a guide from Microsoft.

5. The app is extremely resource heavy and way too over-featured. I build the boilerplate app and Run it and it takes minutes to build (most of the time is downloading dependencies so not such a big deal).

6. I open the newly created app in Sublime Text (my editor) and I can't find a way to build the app anymore.

7. Because Visual Studio is so bloated, I download Visual Studio Code, which is far more simple but I can still not figure out how to build my app even with the various extensions VS code boasts.

8. After hours of googling, I formulate a script that can build the app from the command-line.

9. But I stil don't know how to build the app as the .exe file created does not execute.

10. I'm very disappointed.

The worst of all is that there is not even one good guide on the whole clearnet on how to do develop a Hello World windows app from scratch.
IIRC, DNT header was such a failure that not even Firefox has it anymore: I think it's an abandoned feature.
I think it's also review shyness. My wife yelled at me once (like real, oh shit I'm in trouble, yell) for leaving a 1 star review for an Uber driver who sped the whole way and ran a red light.
This is also pretty common when running test runners a lot
Personally I haven't found Stack Overflow useful for anything in a looong time. At work, usually my problems are specific to whatever proejct I'm working on and my peers are the only real source of answers regarding that. At home, if I want to work on some cool new thing then a Wikipedia page or good write-up on someone's blog is the goto source for useful, structured information.

The few times I have seen SO recently have been from friends trying to do Linux things, looking for answers on SO, and finding some ludicrous answer that is either just wrong or an extremely roundabout (and overcomplicated) approach to solving it.
This is the key:

Feldman also believes strongly that projects stay on track when developers bite off software requirements into as small pieces as possible.

Continuous deployment (for example) surfaces miscommunications pretty quickly, so you don't go too far down the wrong path. (It doesn't help with estimating completion dates, though.)

I just wish feature flags were sightly less annoying to manage.
Some people call it stasis, when you're in equilibrium with the system you're in.

There's a reason we keep coming back to fiction that elevates the obscenely wealthy as being beyond the law, beyond the control of governments, and eventually physically beyond the world in floating cities.

There's a reason for that. It makes for entertaining fiction. Why would anyone reads utopian novels anyway? They're boring.

It's also a not a good idea to base your model of society on fiction. Fiction is not evidence for anything.
