Haven't seen that, but another example is Dancer in the Dark, which contrasts not just with color. It has primary narrative sequences that are cinéma-vérité style with dull colors, spoken dialog, handheld cameras and no background music. Then it has musical sequences that gradually transition from that style into choreographed, boom-camera, saturated color. The transformations are very well done and the contrast is really effective.
I do sometimes but it doesn't seem to help. Roughly a third of the videos have a progress bar underneath (usually complete or nearly so) so YouTube knows that I have seen them.
I didn't know about Remote Settings.

I found some detailed information on Mozilla's website [1] and I have three entries about RemoteSettings in about:config.

app.normandy.startupRolloutPrefs.browser.topsites.useRemoteSetting

browser.topsites.useRemoteSetting

browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.remoteSettings.enabled

I turned them to false.

Nearly every one who has built a fantastic web framework that went on to becoming very popular has financially benefitted from it. That kind of ubiquity can garner lucrative speaking gigs, consulting and contracting gigs, and more. These all being beyond what a normal brilliant developer would get.

>this is a new level of conspiracy theory.

This is a new level of denial, I mean you should be outrage if your CIA is not doing it's job , this is why you americans pay them, to spy on foreign governments and companies, if something changes in the direction that would disadvatae US then blackmailing, killing and other methods are required by the CIA dudes to do.

At least you can use your logic and think

1 CIA job is to spy

2 Google/Apple has juicy content of CIA targets

3 CIA wants that content, they could send dudes in black at night int he server room to grab the data or they can just ask for it, since if are foreign people they have no rights, even if an employee would see this since is an US citizen he will also need to respect US laws and shut up or he will be in trouble.
Good for you, scholarships are non existent. There are very, very few, and are outside of the use of students in the middle class trap. Most scholarships want requirements that students cannot meet such as references and achievements.

Tuition and housing costs of university, at the cheapest of uni's just barely is covered by FAFSA federal and state grants + student loans at a $0 income. One of those grants are also dependent upon you working as a student. Private loans are a necessity and are not deferred, meaning you have to work even more. This does not include the cost of living in regards to buying lively goods.

When running the numbers it is a net negative. You cannot attend a university without an external income. That doesn't include anything else, no other costs.

Call BS as you wish, this is a fact I'm seeing infront of me. This is why people are up in arms about degrees and costs. This is why defunding universities is a necessary requirement to bring education back.
Indeed, I'm indexed on looking for evidence and tells of a more catastrophic macro risk outcome than most people, as my reading of these events has been in a more historical context. That the danger of a very serious conflict is not part of the discourse is like watching it happen in slow motion.

It's to the point it seems worth mentioning.

Vaccinating kids to go to school is normal, as is getting vaccinations for travel between countries. The issue I have personally is leveraging the pandemic using the disingenuous issues above to implement an internal passport system for participating in culture. It's a "papers please" society that historically ends one way.

The professor's letter is really a good sign, as this stuff needs to come out and become part of the discourse, as it's an alternative to a cascade into something much worse, imo.

Retail is where the greatest churn is happening -- and it makes perfect sense. Between shutdowns, layoffs, having to enforce mask rules on customers, having to deal with customers, smash and grabs,... retail seems like one of the worst job experiences to have, and with shaky job stability.
They are not as big as patron but host many FOSS projects and devs. Seeing how hard FOSS devs work and how little they earn, maybe HN reader can show them some love?

I think the parent's goal was to use the presence of a stupid thumbnail as proxy for low quality and completely hide those videos instead of merely replacing the thumbnail.

Now if there's also something that could detect "YouTuber voice" (https://www.vice.com/en/article/aepn94/the-rise-of-youtube-v...) or the awful trend of putting a short clip in the intro with no context which wastes your time at best or spoils the video at worst that would be great as well.

I mean - yes, although there's no real reason to even bother with the fake login form. They could just monitor the real login form the next time you login.

That said - at least for google, login is on accounts.google.com - so they aren't asking for that here.

Additionally, these extensions do go through review by google - something as blatant as a content_script that's phoning home with login details would ideally be caught (I develop extensions for work, but haven't tried submitting something malicious for review - so I can't really comment on whether they DO actually catch it)
It complicates things more than it’s worth. Plus veterans tend not to value Equity from speculative startups at all, perhaps those for which equity has worked have retired. Then there is the watering down shenanigans which get pulled on the unsuspecting.

Plus I find that the imagined value of equity tends to keep people together longer than ideal. He is free to leave the moment it no longer suits him to stay.
It depends, as always. A CPU is a whole unit, where (I think) it's worth knowing all the details. A programming language's standard library would be more about having a high level overview of what is available, and not a rote reading of all APIs.

...Unless you're into that kind of thing, and I do believe it will help "pick the right tool for the job", instead of writing your own or picking a random library off the internet. Maybe I should make a habit of it, I'm quite invested in Go at the moment.

On the other hand, probably a bigger factor is 'arsedness'. I don't have the attention span or interest to read something back-to-front, or maybe not anymore? I don't know for sure. But there's not many things that grip me enough to really draw me in.

...except writing shitpost comments on HN.

This is exactly it for me: on your first reading, there are underlying concepts you kind of get, but don't fully understand until you grasp what's built on top of them. Then, with that fuller grasp, you can go back and increase your understanding of the underlying material, which lets you understand the superstructure better — and the effect persists for several iterations if the topic is involved enough.

Short version: don't be too concerned if you're not completely confident on the details the first time through, because it will make a lot more sense next time around.
PWM is done by modern phone displays (iPhone and Android) but is terrible for eyes and the nervous system at large. Its only advantage is cheapness. In layman's terms, PWM is when instead of lowering the brightness of the display, it is instead flickered to lower perceptible brightness. Please don't try to purport popular with healthy. That ship has long sailed.

Right, all good points. That's why it has only 23 active users after all. It's also harder to play, more cryptic hints with numbers and maybe the UI looks kind of old.

You have to be aggresive about it for it to work. It totally bogles my mind that youtube doesn't have a toggle for this, I get recommending things I've seen before, my wife loves it, I must have seen her watch the same youtube video 300 times, she doesn't explore youtube she just wants the same set of 50 videos recommended to her over and over again, this has been a pretty common observation I've made... people like this... so then make it a toggle for people who don't.
One Apple employee acknowledged that in their discussions with Uber employees about their need to pay a commission on IAPs, Uber tried to convince Apple to remove their commission because that 30% would have to get passed on to customers.

However, I have no reason to believe that Uber would actually follow through. It seemed like a bluff. Certainly, any economic theory I'm aware of would have Uber and customers split that 30%, with Uber paying the vast majority out of profits.
This renders for me:

I do agree that it is negotiation, but it IS a risky play. While you are negotiating, you have leverage. But it is time dependent leverage. If you stay, you lose, not all, but a large part of that leverage. If you do stay AND they decide that you are a risk for THEM, they may make moves to make them less dependent on you and at some point may RIF you or move you out in some other way and at that point you may not have a fallback option. While it is true that you are a great employee and someone will scoop you up eventually, when you are looking for a job and are currently not working, you LOSE leverage with your new potential employer. It is human psychology that you appear more attractive to an employer when you currently have a job than if you don’t. This puts you at a disadvantage going forward.

I am not saying don’t negotiate with your current employer for a pay raise, but leveraging another job offer does come with some risks you should be aware of. Some employers can see it as “burning a bridge” (I don’t agree with them, but it happens).

Personally what I do is try to negotiate without a job offer in hand (never threaten to quit) and if they don’t give you a good-faith pay raise then start looking for a new job then. It can take a year or more to find a good job you want. Then quit. They have already shown you that they don’t value you enough to pay you more. Paying you more under duress often does not end well.
I noticed this trend previously and I assumed it was a cost decision. A dark scene has less details, so it would conceivably cost much less to incorporate CGI/post-fx.
Reliable but bad old code becomes the piece labeled "do not touch" and can spawn bad code around it. By itself it never gets worse but it might be like the broken window theory of a code base.

This is standard practice in a lot of places because bare Booleans in parameter lists don't communicate anything useful to the reader. Don't know if there are IDEs that automate it though. (In most languages one should avoid designing functions that take Booleans like this in the first place and use a flags/options parameter instead.)
I think the problem is extensibility. Architecture astronauts tend to create abstractions, which are useful for eventual extensions to to the original design. Shitty code is hard to change, but astronautic code is difficult to understand and, more critically, often is planned for hypothethetical developments that not necessarily match with future needs.

Saying nothing was gained directly out of their work makes the argument moot. Since they got a lot of financial benefits because of their work.

I don’t adhere or enjoy western or capitalist things. So it isn’t just that sort of thing to do. It makes complete sense for hard leftists to want a creator to benefit financially from a viral sensation they created. We are playing the game of the west + capitalism whether we like it or not.

Software engineering has become unenjoyable. There is no longer a feeling of control. I no longer come to work thinking - "yeah, I got this, I know exactly what is going on".

Technical aspects aside (and congrats on the achievement!), I love the implications of the author's "Aside":

1. An otherwise inconvenient situation (snowpocalypse) was turned into a learning opportunity. I would've probably turned it into a Netflix binge.

2. People took the time to detail the CPU design in a document. I'm always looking for examples showing the benefits of documenting design (I'm an EM) and it's rare to find one that changes someone's life trajectory. :)
A "snarl word" is a neologism for the age-old practice of the creation of derogatory labels by people who are trying to dismiss things without the listener realizing they don't have good cause.

>The last two points are in scientific dispute

I don't think that's true. I think that a casual google will show that climatology is actually in overwhelming agreement that human activities are driving climate change, and here's one I did earlier [0]. To the reader: this is a testable hypothesis!

>It appears to me that the CAGW hypothesis is disproved

Argument by personal incredulity isn't always a fallacy. Sometimes, smart people are intuitive and well-informed enough to jump directly to conclusions without needing to cover the intervening intellectual distance. Maybe this is happening here, and I'm just not an exceptional person, but if I were you I'd consider wondering why the likes of Dr Roy Spencer and I couldn't turn our ability to outthink entire scientific disciplines to a more profitable end.

The issue is that stupidly oversimplified models from 40+ years ago have been borne out, sourced from both capitalist and Soviet science [1][3]. By all means, there are many, many inputs into the grand planetary system, but the inconvenient truth, if you will, is that atmospheric CO2 increases seem to track with temperature increases, in both modeling and the historical record. I think, by "many knobs", that you're trying to suggest there are many variables that can be tweaked -- nope! It's actually very straightforward. Are there complex, "more realistic" climate models that produce unorthodox results when their knobs are twiddled? Probably! But for every one of those you fixate on, remember that there is one big, simple one that continues to track with the thing we're trying to measure: observable reality. Bald-faced denial of observable reality is a pretty good signifier that some aspect of science has been politicized, whether in a Wikipedia article or in a congressional hearing.

You've made a lot of claims, but haven't really backed any of them up, or even explained them; "CAGW" is pretty clearly a snarl word.

You're taking those statements out of context read just a tiny bit further and it says:

"That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more"

In other news, "Children are Infrequently Identified as the Index Case of Household SARS-CoV-2 Clusters"

> In analysis of the cluster index cases ... only 3.8% were identified as having a pediatric index case.

> These pediatric cases only caused 4.0% of all secondary cases, compared with the 97.8% of secondary cases that occurred when an adult was identified as the index case in the cluster.

> Clusters where the asymptomatic/symptomatic status of the contact cases was not described were excluded from the analysis. Even with this broader definition, 18.5% children were identified as the index case in the household clusters.
I dont disagree with the sentiment on lost years but I think its very easy to say that in retrospect. At beginning of 2020, no one knew how severe the pandemic is going to be. We did not have a vaccine and we did not know which age groups are going to be most vulnerable.
I agree that they should have more simple investment limits. Like index fund or whatever.

But even your first sentence is some hypothesis, not based on any facts or timeline of events. Looks like her husband who has his own investment firm was writing some clever option contracts and such on big name companies like Roblox.

Pretty interesting!
The language pattern occurs quite frequently in many domains. Unfortunately, I have so far only seen half-assed interpreters. At best, people did a shallow embedding (interpreter) of their DSL. No one ever did a true compiler.

I think the reason for this can be found in the ideal encoding of the input language: In its most concise formulation, a language is a recursive algebraic datatypes. Handling of that input requires a recursive algorithm that deals with all corner cases. Engineers I worked with tend to not see their input language as an ADT, though. They focus on some particular use cases and if there is a specification it is often too large and yet incomplete. But on top of that comes the hesitation to implement a complete algorithm. Nearly every time, some "corner case" is ignored because "nobody uses it" and we end up with an implementation that is factually incorrect and incomplete.
