The viewing controls when watching a show are fine for me, but everything else is awful.

The UI constantly shuffles around, having to hunt for my list or currently watching shows is particularly annoying.

Incessant autoplay that couldn't be disabled for years, and still can't be in all cases.

Awful controls for browsing content. The categories are meaningless and constantly changing.

There's no way to find new shows I'm likely to like within the app. They refuse to have any sort of objective ratings and the custom ones are unbelievably bad, even after years of watching. I have to go to outside sources any time I want to find a new show.

I could go on. Prime gets a lot of criticism for their UX but I actually much prefer it to Netflix's. At least with Prime the ratings have some signal and the layout is simple and consistent. It's not pretty but at least it doesn't go out of the way to annoy me, which is just fine with me. Amazon has probably spent far less on their UX but has a better result.

“Took over the world”

vs.

“Became popular”

It’s a minor quibble, but this sort of hyperbole always comes of as unnecessarily disingenuous.
Quick speculation: It could simply come down to being better fed over time. There is evidence of negative multi-generational effects on descendants from malnourishment suffered by progenitors. If nobles had better access to food (which makes sense, given power differences), that could propagate down the generations (and promote increased reproduction) not due to a stronger gene pool, but rather through improved gene expression and general health.

It's possible, but strange, since b is simply the voiced form of p - you just need to vibrate your vocal cords for a moment longer when pronouncing "kebt" (since they were already vibrating to pronounce the vowel), compared to pronouncing kept.
Sowell's assertion that the vision of the left is the more attractive one is intriguing. As a Christian I would say that the falling "market share" of Christianity is due in part to a similar phenomenon: A world without God appeals more to people today than a world with God. Certainly one would rather not believe in any God than to believe in a God who is going to judge you.
Ignoring the other blatant problems with this interpretation (e.g. that social class was highly correlated with fitness) I suspect that the nobility were intermixing their genes quit successfully via coercion & violence.

The funny thing is that the web used to have a well-supported low latency streaming protocol… and it was via Flash.
When the world switched away from Flash, we created a bunch of CDN-friendly formats like HLS but by their design, they couldn’t be low latency.

And it broke all my stuff because I was relying on low latency. And I remember reading around at the time — not a single person talked about the loss of a low latency option so I just assumed no one cared for low latency.
Every community is bound to contain some bias, that is unavoidable. But at least "nerds" or the more educated are bound to decrease this human error with a more "peer-reviewed" process in curating information, that is one purpose of HN.
But Italy, hit extremely hard by early waves, and now with a much-higher vax rate than South Africa, could more easily miss a rising wave of mild cases in already-immune that don't seek treatment. There are plenty of factors in all directions, and only very spotty variant surveillance most places.
Is there any backing to this? As I recall feudal societies in both Europe and Japan had the origin of "nobility" in land ownership/control. If you could successfully hold a piece of land as your own you were a noble.

You can imagine this as a form of de facto rule.

Someone needs the courage to make a motherboard and CPU with off the shelf parts and a socketed chip in the non-x86 space. That was one of the key reasons that the IBM PC succeeded: it was easy to clone. Without that it's likely it would have been just another interesting footnote in history. But because IBM didn't take the time to do everything custom and locked in others were able to enter the market and make things happen. Honestly I don't think anyone sells socketed ARM64 or RISC-V chips. There might be OpenPOWER but I don't think anyone is really fabbing them at a cost that a consumer could even consider.

Sadly I don't think that sort of courage is in copious supply it's always easier to vendor lock people than it is to take the risk of someone else eating your lunch. So until that happens I just don't see non-x86 platforms really eating into the desktop/laptop market in any large share.
Back in the MS-Dos days Norton was the only game in town for a bunch of things... Disk defragmenting, tools for working with file system, etc. It was a swiss army knife of good tools. But your point is generally correct in that for the last 20 years it has been atrociously bad.
A key point being that both versions are available with the same quality of image and are both remastered with equal care on re-releases. By contrast, something resembling the theatrical versions of Star Wars not been available since laserdisc.

I say change whatever you want about your movie; but please make available the version of the movie we fell in love with.

There was a hasty and poorly implemented transfer of the LD's included as a bonus feature on a DVD release. No up-res so LD is the latest version according to moi.
This is a weird sentiment:

> No, the Story of the One in the first movie always meant to be non-canon, an intentional misleading of the audience, a red herring.

It's not "non-canon", it is canon that Morpheus and others believed this "Story of the One". That it wasn't true does not make the belief (that the characters' held) non-canon, just wrong. To be non-canon then you'd actually be throwing away the first movie, but that's not the case, instead the information available to the characters has been expanded and so a once-held belief becomes falsified.
The “and they have a plan” line in the opening sequence got more and more ridiculous as the series went on and it was clear the cylons did NOT have a plan at all.

This is all true of course, but is it really so much to expect someone to proof-read something they're publishing? All things being equal, more of these types of simple-to-catch errors will make people think less of your [skill, dedication, attention to detail, etc.], whether right or wrong.
Am I the only one that thinks that password managers are a terrible idea?

Lets take all of a user's credentials (mixing the critical and the trivial) and put them into a single database and then use Javascript-based browser extensions to control access to the DB. What could go wrong?

The LastPass communications brouhaha from last week was just a whiff of the total shit show we're going to see when the client code from one of these password managers is modified with trojan code and we realize that some group has been slurping up credentials by the billions over the course of a few months.

Seems like the charitable take is that password managers are maybe the best approach to a horrible idea, and the real solution is that we ought to be racing to abolish passwords altogether as soon as possible.
It seems that ! is missing in equation (12).
Either claim would be wrong if it assumed perfect correlation or lack thereof. Correlations are floats not booleans. There is going to be some correlation, but there are lots and lots of factors like luck, network effects, heritable wealth, etc.

That's not the opposite; success can be correlated with fitness (i.e., success) in disparate social strata without necessitating the correctness of the strata themselves. The strata themselves can be the product of pressures unrelated to individual fitness, like our individual propensity for selfishness.
I do front-end dev for a high-volume recipe site and our multivariate tests mostly confirm the opposite. Simpler pages rank higher (and users report higher satisfaction with the product). Core Web Vitals changed the way a lot of things work, how long ago were you given this advice?
hmmmm in my mind I had the exact inverse definition of what you said. For me “mentor” is exactly what you defined as “coach” and for me “coach” is exactly what you defined as “mentor”.

I never was or had any formal mentor or coach, so there is that.

After being an independent contractor (software engineer) for a decade I am now a full time employee and in my first formal mentor-mentee relationship.

You might be conflating nobility with Gregory Clark's thesis in "A Farewell to Alms". There never would have been enough nobles for their failsons to have any kind of measurable genetic impact on the wider society; plus nobles were never really selected for intelligence in the first place - they were the descendants of successful warlords.
Concurrent with spacer.gif, there was also a `<spacer type="block">`[1] tag that was in use at the time.

Working at a boutique design shop back then, I remember trying endless combinations of the spacer tag along with spacer gifs to try to ship layouts that were at least semi (and hopefully mostly) consistent cross-browser.

Having lived through those web dev dark ages, I'm pretty baffled by the resurgence of 'markup as styling'.

Signed up for the beta, but their signup page has one annoyance... clicking back doesn't take you back one page in the signup process, it ejects you to the top but your answers are saved. Fine if it's an honest mistake, weird if it's an aesthetic choice, not a good idea if it's an indicator of how they plan to be different. It would be much better to prove how smart they are by fixing google's search than "fixing" well-established UI patterns.

Ask HN: How to make the best use of ACM membership?

Well Google testified against having hardcoded weights for news websites in congress.

And the issue is because it creates filter bubbles and introduces bias into how information is discovered.
> I remade a pretty interesting navigation menu purely with :not :checked :focused :hover etc, so pure html and css, thinking it would be more performant then my previous JS version.

That sounds so cool! Do you have a version somewhere that I can take a look at? I always like fiddling with clever CSS, even if it is too clever for its own sake, as you managed to find out

And keep in mind, that pseudo selectors are not created equal. Things like :checked or :focused usually don't have that much of a performance impact

> Don't ever hire someone with recent Norton experience I their resume.

This is pretty ridiculous. I worked there and and there is much more going on internally than writing malware-like software. By the time I left they still had pretty decent engineers just trying to find a job in a better company, like me.

These sort of decisions don't come from Software Engineers and management there is known to be pretty shitty.

Also, it's not like they maliciously inserted this thing to mine crypto for Norton itself. Whatever your computer mines is yours (still a bad idea though IMO)

Exponential growth also pushes down the time when you need to become a mentor.
If the field was totally stable (retirement rate = graduation rate, and everyone retires after 40 years in the field, greatly simplified model), then each new joiner could be paired with a mentor of 20 years experience, and only needs to become a mentor after 20 years. But if the field is growing exponentially, the age drops significantly. I'm sure someone could calculate this; it's almost like the inverse of the retirement age, population change, and social security question

The problem is the censorship. China gov is tightening the grip on censorship and it's hard to write good story now. And this is not limited to anime. For example, the movie Farewell My Concubine would not be possible due to the story about gay and Cultural Revelation.
The deleted bits (the conversation between Neo and Cypher, and the followup conversation between Neo and Morpheus) doesn't contradict the sequels. They simply show that Morpheus was wrong about who the One was. The existence of the failed candidates doesn't contradict the existence of the failed predecessors. If anything, it fits into the numerology of the trilogy (6 candidates, 6 Ones, 6 crew members, 6 ships, 6 trips into the Matrix, 6 Zions, etc.)

Of course the Matrix Trilogy wasn't fully written out when they made the first film. The Wachowskis never claimed that. They said it was all conceived as one whole, and the specific execution of that concept (i.e., the screenplays) changed after the first film to reflect the narrative that actually made the final cut in the first movie... Which is exactly how things work in Hollywood, because canon is only what actually makes it onto the screen.

Personally I am a fan of the Food Network recipes online, especially Alton Brown’s. Straight to the point with no fluff, and maybe a Good Eats segment if you’re lucky.
I always see this as a stated reason, but I'm skeptical unless it's cargo-culting like "no copyright intended" on YouTube videos (but this is a lot more work). I can't see Adam and Joanne [1] or Holly [2] suing for copyright because when someone stole their Frito Pie recipe and left off the story at top. Especially, when they both have Google-defined tags to grab only the recipe and ingredients. As others have mentioned, the bigger sites (Allrecipes, food network, NYTimes, binging with babish etc.) tend not do the story thing.

Do you have any other info on copyright as a reason?

> Over several generations, there is no doubt that dysgenic selection lowered the quality of genes for intelligence and increased migration had an adverse effect.

> Looming over all is their message that the pool of those who reach the top level of cognitive performance is being decimated: fewer and fewer people attain the formal level at which they can think in terms of abstractions and develop their capacity for deductive logic and systematic planning.

So, as often as we hear the joke, is Idiocracy actually happening?
As I mentioned above - one or two clauses like that won't hurt performance, but I have seen situations, when bad CSS (a lot of *'s, too long selectors, a lot of dead and unused clauses) actually had a measurable impact on websites' performance.

This especially comes into play, if you deal with a lot of nested HTML elements or when you modify the site's HTML a lot.
According to https://copyrightalliance.org/are-recipes-cookbooks-protecte...:

Recipes can be protected under copyright law if they are accompanied by “substantial literary expression.” This expression can be an explanation or detailed directions, which is likely why food and recipe bloggers often share stories and personal anecdotes alongside a recipe’s ingredients.

So besides SEO, there's this thing where the recipe itself is basically defenseless against someone stealing it and calling it theirs but the sum of the fluff around it plus the recipe on the other hand can be copyrighted and enjoys all the protections afforded to these kinds of things. So, if say, Jamie Oliver likes your recipe and puts it in a book passing it as his, you can now legally tell him to stop doing that because of said fluff.
