I think modern day goods are better at being just durable enough to serve their intended lifetime, but no more than that.

Also, I think every generation has products that last a really long time. My personal example is that 30 years ago I saved up my allowance to buy a casio keyboard, which after a few years moved into an unheated attic, and then some more years after that to a cold and damp basement. Recently I dug it up out of the basement, wiped off a thick layer of gunk, put in a fresh set of batteries, and aside from one status led not working it works as well as the day I bought it, and even the plastic hasn’t discolored much.
The Java interview questions you should not ask in 2022 vol. 2
> Today you have to research a pile of unnecessarily complicated (for most personal projects) frontend frameworks, libraries, and build systems, figure out the compiling and development environments, figure out a complex mess of containers and virtualization, etc, etc, etc.

Well yeah, but once you've learned the modern paradigms, you can get right back into hacking away in your text editor. I've been doing web development stuff for longer than 15 years or so, and it's no more difficult to start a project now than it was back then. I can run a single command to create a template nextjs project and be hacking away in no time at all. Yeah there's a learning curve initially, and for certain use cases you may not want or need these modern tools, but it's no different than when all that time ago I finally, after much foot-dragging and moaning, I finally learned CSS and transitioned away from "tables for everything" HTML I'd learned on Geocities, which seemed like the pinnacle of productivity at the time.
We aren’t “already in a lockdown” for reasons including (but not limited to) the multi £billion cost, the harm to mental and physical health, civil liberties, the fact that people are responding to guidance, the fact that we have more than 100 million jabs issued, the fact that the modelling has been repeatedly wrong etc.

If lockdowns were a free lunch then sure, let’s have them all the time!

We have not seen a long term exponential growth anywhere in the world yet. Until that happens we are hiding from the bogeyman based on modelling which has repeatedly been proven incorrect (speaking from a UK perspective).
Same here, only reason I didn't pursue Lottie was because of AE.

How's the non AE ecosystem for Lottie?
I never said I'm an authority, I simply posted a link to a translation and I said I checked it. People can choose to listen to me, or not. You made up the strawman that I'm positioning myself as an authority.

My post was never supposed to be a full summary, and I never claimed that it is, so it's very strange that you attack me for not fully summarizing. Passages such as crying, feeling like a zombie, etc are already covered by western media and people have likely already read that -- me pointing out all that again does not add anything useful. The intention from the beginning is to let people read the full thing, including translation nuances, and to let them read parts that they probably haven't read yet (or not in its original form), so that people can make up their own minds. That includes reading up about crying, and more importantly, how the passage about crying was written as well as the context in which that passage appears.

I added some commentary after people asked me to comment on another translation and compare that with the first. But that commentary was secondary to the main goal, which is to let people read the original, full text and make up their own minds. Thus it is neither necessary nor a goal of that commentary to be a full analysis, and I never claimed that it was.

Why are you so obsessed with this? Why is my opinion so much more important to you than what Peng Shuai herself wrote in full? What are you afraid of? Why do you not like the fact that I let others read the original source?

I think there is only one possible answer: you have a specific opinion that you want to force on others, so you are alarmed by others being exposed to more and original information. That's some chilling 1984 thought police behavior right there.
That's not quite my point - you asked where would you mount a rear plate on a tractor, to which I answered that there are lots of places. If you're talking about the fact that plates can be obscured by large trailers etc then local laws will dictate that there is a plate on the trailer. I guess plates covered by attachments (ploughs etc) are a slightly different case and may obscure the plate.
It's harder to do this with a remote control, and harder to hand the remote to a visitor and say 'watch whatever ya want' because there's no direction and the options are infinite and wait I didn't mean to delete that and wtf why is it trying to reboot for an update I don't know the password aaaaagh.

There's room for both, they're targeting entirely different crowds.

But yes, I absolutely do this too, it's so much more flexible and lets me run sponsorblock and other plugins in youtube/twitch/some random site I just found. Those are the real killer features for me, so it's very unlikely that any media-center app will ever convert me.
It is the writing style that makes me tend to not believe him. Sounds like an essay of an inexperienced author more than a recapitulation by a medical professional.

Doesn't mean the story itself isn't true, but I would expect the author writing about someone else and not himself.
The Romans had no arabic numerals and no arithmetic - that's why the statics of the buildings were not calculated. So some were over- and others under-dimensioned.

You only see the over-dimensioned ones. They are still standing today.
The Fundamentals of Jetpack Compose
And with psychology just remember Freud. Not that things haven't gotten better, but I still consider that there could be real possibility of either miss- or overdiagnosis...
Strange - when companies were raising money on highly questionable growth projections which pumped up portfolio value there was no blog post attempting to take the heat out. This is a pretty unsubtle and poor attempt to control the narrative ahead of the inevitable.
In the UK I'm pretty sure you'd get pulled over by the police for doing 30kph on the motorway, it's reckless driving and you're putting yourself and others in danger.
I'm afraid a separate company in a different country (or even in the same country) is "offshore" enough to be a barrier to proper compliance to privacy law, and it is clearly an intentional barrier.
Nice! Looks a little choppy on an iPhone XS, however.
Exactly as ok as people with drivers licenses to speed on public roads.
Yes, isn't it great? As someone who knew that it's possible to reflash BIOS chips, but had no idea what equipment or process it would take to actually do so, I really appreciated the detailed explanation of the steps involved and (more so) the various potential problems that the author thought about and addressed along the way.
I don't know, it has been a pain to work with strings in any language that does the above, and has seldom (if ever) been a problem with Java, Go, Swift, or even modern Python 3, and so on...
It is definitely not legal, but does happen very occasionally.

The issue is that 15 year olds are just that, 15 year old kids.
An Intro to Robotaxi and Tesla’s Foray into Autonomous Taxis
Here they also sold a novel design, Olki 3 ate most of the construction teething issues (though flamanville hit its fair share as well), Taishan seems to have gone better as they entered service in 2018 and 2019.

Construction and operation teething issues are nothing surprising, but Areva was definitely… way over-optimistic about the EPR.

I still can’t believe they advertised a 4 years plan when the first N4 (previous generation) took 12 years to build, and needed an additional 4 before it started operation.

Hell, going down the list of reactors on the wiki, even the 900MWe class never went from first stone to operation in 4 years, the shortest looks to have been Blayais 1 which took a hair short of 5 (January 1st, 1977 to December 1st, 1981), and taking somewhere between 5 and 6 was much more typical for the 900MWe class. The P4s were a bit worse (7-9) and the N4s were way worse (the shortest time between build start and start of operation was Civaux 2 at 11 years, the Chooz reactors took 16).
this looks incredibly useful, i never added animations to my website because it was such a hassle. going to give it a try, thanks for sharing!
Have you ever seen a thunderstorm averaging five lightnings per second? I haven't. But I have seen plenty with a couple lightnings per minute - right in the ballpark of the power of a small wind farm beneath.
where are you talking about? Russia? US?
Is Flutter still a promising bet? Haven't heard much about it lately, but in principle I find it very interesting.

Edit: wow, I am surprised, according to statista it is the most popular mobile cross platform framework (roughly on par with React Native): https://www.statista.com/statistics/869224/worldwide-softwar...
Has the modeling been wrong? Or have all the measures you wrote about above worked and prevented the "worst case scenarios" of the models?
Masks help slow it and keep it more manageable. If everyone in a country attended a giant “get covid” rally in their neighborhood many hundreds of thousand or maybe millions would die as the hospital system would be overwhelmed despite omicron appearing to be less likely to require hospitalization.

Right now the hospitalization number is already too high, and is putting massive strain on nurses. When Ventilators and ICU beds run out people die that normally wouldn’t.

It’s not so much mask hysteria as hysteria of a large number of people refusing to protect themselves or their communities from the virus or spreading it.

It would not be a problem if unvaccinated people simply agreed to not be treated by a hospital when they get covid. That will never happen. So wear a mask to slow the spread.
I think that's an over generalisation, for every "world changing, do everything" trendy OSS library there's also a much simpler alternative maintained by a fellow grognard who just wants to write the bare minimum so you don't have to.

The alternative is adding my own mediocre code, with all the maintenance costs that incurs.
It wouldn't be HN if I didn't learn something new! I knew it only as XBMC. Even bought that damn IR plug and a remote for xbox. I played only a handful of games on it, but XBMC was in constant use.

The CDC's definition has been out of date for years. It turns out that to a large degree sterilising immunity was a myth with only a tiny, tiny fractions of vaccines actually achieving it. [0]

Most just achieve enough reduction in transmission to end or prevent outbreaks by bringing the r0 well below 1.

This isn’t an answer to your inflammatory question, but there are only a handful of nation states with nuclear weapons, and France is one of them.

These aren’t hand-me-down US warheads on the back of a missile truck: the flagship of the French navy is a 40,000 tonne nuclear armed, nuclear powered aircraft carrier floating above a strategic submarine fleet that can destroy the world.
Kodezi – Grammarly for Programmers
Hey guys,

This is a project, I have been working on for a while now originally started back in 2017 with scrapped github repos to eventually being able to train millions of repos and use other open-source datasets to fine tune our models. We currently are planning on releasing in early-mid January. Let me know what you guys think!
And where the CPU doesn't support some SIMD intrinsics—SWAR for the win! I've been digging into Zig's Vectors the past week and really like the decisions. Thanks!
Same, just using PotPlayer & Foobar2000
Anyone running a proxy? I definitely want to give back and it would not be a problem to run one, are there any security implications I need to consider? looking at their Faq it seems safe enough...
70% would have been workable for the original or 'wild type' strain. Delta and Omicron are many times more transmissible.
When adopting a new niche language, with hardly any following, and frequent changes, and not even an 1.0, like Zig, "which version of UTF8" (as if that's an issue) is the least of your worries...

"Which third-party strings lib of several half-complete incompatible libs" will be a much realer concern...

Is working 12 hours a day so you can afford to live what you’d describe as doing “very well”?

I don’t know why you decided to compare immigrants to natives. I made no such distinction. Nobody, immigrant or not, should have to work 12 hours a day just to survive.
"United States" translates literally to "Estados Unidos" in Spanish. Because some rule that sounds unfathomably stupid to me, in Spanish you can turn that into EEUU instead of EU, because both the "E"s and the "U"s are plural ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's a few other examples I'm aware of, like FFAA for "Fuerzas Armadas" ("Armed Forces"), but I have the feeling this is an obsolete practice.
By all means it should be illegal to leave your 40 km/h tätort with anything that goes below ~45 km/h
I think back on Finnish school system. Where lessons were 45 minute with 15 minute break outside every hour. I can see that sort of regime clearly helping the boys with normal attention spans and need to get some energy off...

And I think just this alone helped to manage most of them to regular adulthood.
I quite like the convenience with the Kore remote for Android, great for my home cinema setup. But unfortunately updated packages on Ubuntu since moving, and now audio doesn't work. I really hate Linux audio, what a mess >_<
> This may be unpopular, but after using Kodi and similar software for many years (and enjoying it!), I just gravitated back to the basics. Want to watch a movie? Navigate to it in my file manager and play it with VLC.

I have been doing this all the time with Kodi. Just disable media scanning and browse through. I'm sold on Kodi because for years it has been the only way to watch video on my Linux NUC without tearing, it digests every media I can throw at it, and it's overall just very easy to configure and use.
Bugs get discovered when there are many eyes on the target, which is currently the case for log4j. Before people probably took logging for granted and didn't expect any problems here.
Yes, which is why in this case, it was effective against the already smashed small serbian anti air capabillities. And not against chinese ones.
This reminded me of the fascinating obversation of convergent evolution, the "independent evolution of similar features in species of different periods or epochs in time" [1].

For example, the concept of flight has evolved independently numerous of times (insects, birds, pterosaurs, and bats), so it would not be unreasonable to assume that it would evolve again, were life to start over from scratch.

My point is that a large part of the "socially involved" people I have met are often mean horrible people who are trying to show they are superior or super naive people who are willing to bend the truth.
How was convincing my severely underweight friend to stop eating meat a good thing? Do they really think someone who looks like a fashion model (from the super skinny era) need less protein?
I used to play with these software long time back, Kodi was the last one before moving to "whatever" stick :)
(And I am not into media now)
But I have question regarding media, what are you going to play? Where are you going to download the movies/songs, etc unless use illegal ways.
It was amazing journey of few years for me, ripping CDs, DVDs, VCDs, BluRay, HD-DVD, etc and playing all those on TV with Kodi box. (Eventually moved to WDTV box).
Sure, but presumably they can't be expressed in SectorLISP.
I can’t see any examples of explosions, is that supported? (One may build a pretty successful site on it)

Edit: seems svg-like particle effects only, so no
Most HN readers I'd wager. Regardless, "Trees are not a distinct evolutionary group" or "Trees are not all related to each other" or any number of other accurate or semi-accurate headlines are better than "There's no such thing as a tree".
NASA releases Erie audio from Jupiter’s moon Ganymede
It's been clear for a long time that even 100% won't make the virus disappear. Yes, back in the early days when we didn't use the greek alphabet yet eradication was a reasonably possible best case outcome (though not really likely, given the transmissibility across species.

Look at how prevalent pre-delta variants are now: no, they have not disappeared because almost everybody had delta, they have disappeared because of vaccine shots combined with moderate (compared to 2020) NPI. A virus strain does not simply disappear because there's a new one in town, it keeps replicating until it runs out of hosts. And virions are certainly not defecting to a newer, more glorious flag (like humans might do)
There are researchers who believe long covid is related to blood platelet microclotting, inducing hypoxia in tissues. Remains to be seen whether this holds up.
I never said it affected a large fraction of mac users. I'm not blowing anything out of proportion.

Your post above was also only talking about those people with mic input and video output, so it shouldn't be a problem that I did the same.

Also it's not just video, it's basically anyone "plugging their mac into shit" for professional output purposes. Could be video, could be a powerpoint, could be a software demo.
You mention SIM jacking, but I see other comments here recommending Authy here, which requires a cell phone number and SMS OTP to set it up. Your second edit also says you're going with Authy. That doesn't make sense to me.

With any of these apps, you need to backup the first time setup code (or the QR code) for each site or platform where you're configuring 2FA. That's how you get the ability to set those up in another app if you lose your device.

If you're on iOS, the latest iOS version (iOS 15) has in-built support to generate and populate two factor codes. If you'd like a separate app, I'd recommend OTPAuth if you're on iOS/watchOS/macOS (the Mac app is a paid one, the rest are free and allow iCloud syncing).
Idle or incremental games combine the best and worst of games in one.
I used to play them an insane amount of time often 10 at once.
Usually the dopamine rush of upgrading dropped very quickly when you hit a progression wall. I usually abandoned it and started the next, to keep the upgrading dopamine hits coming.
It was a weird time and I was kinda addicted but at some point just got incredibly bored.
Impressive how detailed and extensive some idle games are though!
I think the Business Plot was closer to civil war than any of those.

The juxtaposition of the Ursa Major and Onyx/Vega patches almost gave me whiplash. Judging by the list of patches it seems like NRO is a fun place to work. Thanks for sharing!
I read it when I was little. it's interesting because I feel in china these story are regarded 'fairy tale' like and it gears towards individual virtue education. We read these classics but it's more for teaching people kindness. But I guess people have different interpretations anyway.
Does HTTP Toolkit provide support for OAuth modes (resource owner/client creds/etc) ? Does it provide support for client-cert calls ? Support for signing S3 requests ?

A modern REST/HTTP UI client is expected to provide one or more of the above.

Pfizer believes they know a safe dose.
I don't think Swift has a clamping function in the standard library, unfortunately, so we'll have to roll one ourselves. One question remains of what should be done for the empty string; I've chosen to return nil for this case.

extension String {
func character(atClampedIndex index: Int) -> Character? {
guard !self.isEmpty else {
return nil
}
let clamped = max(0, min(index, count - 1))
return self[self.index(startIndex, offsetBy: clamped)]
}
}
Can someone explain what is meant by this?

I've stopped using it at home because it keeps on wanting to transcode files for me even if I configured it not to and having gigabit ethernet. And it destroys my server's CPU doing so since I'm not that rich to have a spare video card around.
Its not really much different than saying "America" when meaning the US. Or even England vs UK/GB.
They're not the same fountains, nor the same water grid (through the modern grid might use portions of the Roman one). There were centuries where Rome was completely abandoned and reduced to a collection of villages and feudal holdings. They used wells for water access.
Zig's C interop is pretty good though, and there must be some decent native Unicode library out there somewhere right? ;)

I've worked on a full-duplex file synchronization system that had to support cross-platform operating systems and file systems, across a variety of Unicode normalization schemes (and versions [1], which is why I introduced the question), and I'm personally satisfied that baking this into the language specification would be a mistake.

[1] For example, depending on the file system, there's simply no way to get the normalization right unless you reverse engineer the actual table they're using, or probe the file system to do the normalization for you.
I can't believe anyone takes these apps seriously. Of all the things wrong with mental health care, "a shortage of apps" was not even in the running to make the list. Talk to someone who has struggled with depression for decades and tell me if you think an app is going to help. Or look at the inhumane treatment people receive in inpatient settings, and the failure to make even the most basic follow-ups after they're released (other than a letter from the hospital asking for a donation). Read any first-person account of mental illness and you will see a picture of desperate suffering with needs barely and inconsistently met by a condescending industry that can't even figure out what it is they're treating or how to treat it with any reliability. It's a horrible situation, and it's not going to be solved by an app.

In some countries such as Russia showing up doesn’t help. You can just find a corrupted shop assistant fairly easily. Who will be happy to replace any SIM card for any number in any distant city for not so big award. The worst thing — only this shop assistant will be liable and in some cases for not too much, like a few years in prison. Possible gains from such criminal activity usually cover all the costs.
If we did that universally for crimes related to causing the current/upcoming environmental catastrophe, there wouldn't be many people left unjudged.
