Huh?

For the past 20 years or so I have been building cross-platform web apps. For the past 10 years the back end has been Java for all of my paying work or Python for my low-volume side projects, both of which are cross-platform. I did a little bit before that with .NET on the back end, but previous to that it was usually PHP, Cold Fusion, Ruby or something x-platform. You could even run many .NET backends x-platform with mono.

I did a survey of x-platform toolkits that aren't web based (say Electron) and couldn't find any I could stand other than JavaFX.

I would grant that some people feel compelled to make mobile apps (guess your life wouldn't be meaningful if you didn't pay 30% of your revenue to apple...), but what I see is that customers are knocking down our doors looking for web applications. Who in their right mind would say "we only want to serve Windows users?" or "we only want to serve Macs?"
I get to see the reports from a few UK newspapers for articles that have been de-indexed in line with European data protection laws and without fail every article mentions someone that's been up to some shady shit…

From men the have beaten their partners, or been found guilty of rape to people who've been found guilty of fraud every deindex involves someone trying to hide something bad they've done
Perhaps a useful narrative to reduce competition for coastal real estate.
Just want to make sure if I correctly understand what it means by "triangle": For navigation, the developer triangularize the skyrim world, and these divided triangles are not the same size - for example, a 100-sq feet field is covered by one triangle, while a 100-sq feet point of interest is more complicated and covered by more triangles. The original design intention is that the number of triangles encodes the sense of distance, but maximizing the #triangles actually leads to interesting places.
> But what if there is some universe (in the math sense), which is actually complete and decidable, it's just that the moment you take discrete subsets of it, you also remove the connections that make it consistent or complete.

Presumably this hypothetical universe implements arithmetic, so it’s not complete.
I currently can't drive. I am slowly learning how poor an experience many places I visit are for pedestrians and appreciating more pedestrianised zones such as what is being planned here.
Further, I am noticing how often places where pedestrians and cars mix, they are poorly designed, often lack safety margins and downright dangerous spots for pedestrians, nor considerations for less than perfectly able (I am in this category intermittently).
> What kind of cooking do you prefer doing on a gas stove over an induction stove?

I haven't cooked much on induction stoves. I only do so at my parents' place. So among the few things I cooked on both induction and stove, I know I prefer gas for cooking steaks and making scrambled eggs.

I know part of my frustration is with the touch controls, though, and I presume some of it is due to my lack of intuition with what setting is good for what sort of "cooking I want to apply to food".

I do agree with one of the replies to your comment, though: it seems like everyone just talks about how good induction is at boiling water and not much else specifically. I have an electric kettle for that job so it's not some alluring aspect to me.
Usually, manufacture or design defects are hidden to the end customer. The car was built to spec, but the spec was wrong; or the part supplier supplied a non-obvious faulty part. It’s not like an obvious safety-related part is entirely missing.

This is a very different kind of problem than leaving out a brake pad. It’d be like delivering a vehicle without a seat belt or airbag.

At any rate, nobody is saying that other car manufacturers don’t screw up. They just typically screw up in non-obvious ways today instead of patently simple ones.

Finally, “what about this other company/person”
arguments aren’t HN-caliber. They’re not logically sound, and are best left at the door.
This is the "frankfurt school tried to invent a new communism" conspiracy theory. In actuality, "identity politics" is a big bracket of civil rights issues, some applications of which are good and some of which (the obvious example being cancel culture) are bad. But the whole point is to try to move towards an egalitarian society for queer, trans, ethnic, female etc people who have historically had the short end of the stick in the West in various different ways. The whole "if you're white then you're an oppressor" angle is a gross misapplication of the theory by people who don't understand the difference between individual and systemic effects.

Watching a movie alone in the comfort of your own home? I get that. Going to the cinema alone? Definitely shunned.
Have you driven around town at noon? That’s when kids were getting out of school pre-pandemic. I just read this morning Kansas is so desperate for substitute teachers that they’ll take on teenagers without a single college credit. The public school system in many parts of the country is basically state funded daycare.
This is poetic, but if you break it down into a syllogism, it's clear that this is totally stupid.

Removing the flowery language, here are the claims and supporting arguments, along with my rebuttals.

* Drinking alone helps you understand yourself better.

- No it doesn't. It distracts you from that endeavor. If you sit at a table with no TV or phone and do nothing, you will have a significantly more interesting and honest dialog with yourself if you are sober.

* Drinking alone lets you drink a lot of alcohol fast, in your preferred cocktail or beverage.

- Yes and this is why it is dangerous. Drinking tasty alcohol fast is a great way to get addicted. Or at the very least damage your health, both short and long term.

* Drinking alone provides you with comfortable silence.

- Drinking has nothing to do with this. Alcohol is a non-sequitur. You have to orchestrate the silence regardless of whether alcohol is involved.

That's it. It's just repeating these 3 points in different ways.
Terminal is the only thing that maps ctrl+shift+c/v to copy/paste because ctrl+c/v conflicts with signals. I've never come across any other program that maps something that isn't ctrl+c/v to copy/paste.

MacOS is able to keep this consistent because ctrl+c/v isn't mapped to copy/paste, and instead command+c/v is. If you really want, Linux is perfectly capable of mapping Super+c/v to copy/paste. You would probably only need to do this in your terminal emulator and your DE.
My problem with OSX and Windows is that they’re basically nannies. They often pretend to know what is best for me. Linux (and Pop OS in specific) never does this. I feel in control of my own computer again.
First, don't worry about it because you are only six months in

Second, yes you are underpaid but you’re basically doing intern work which is often free

Third, you are doing a lot wrong but it doesn't matter yet because the above reasons

Fourth, one answer is that at the top compensation ranges (300k/yr++) the interview process can take 2.5 to 6 months easily for all devs of any experience level. It can also be fast, but you would have gone without any payment if you were just waiting or relying on that

Fifth, the studying can take just as long even after having gone through a bootcamp or university

Sixth, how you value money for effort will need to change to convince other people how to value you. and that doesnt happen overnight but you need to understand that the rules in your family and community are not really relevant in this class of society.

So just take your time
Performance for some of the most popular IPOs of 2021
Note that the original article and the article you posted are not randomized controlled trails. Does the people that accept to take Ivermectin more cautious than the people that don't? Does young people more likely to try? There are too many variables and it's just too hard to know without a RCT.

Also, the problem with these types of studies is that bad outcomes are sometimes not published. Nobody want to write an article with the title "We used Ivermectin and we killed an additional statistical significant number of coworkers" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporting_bias For a RCT it's necessary more paperwork and authorizations and ideally preregistering. So that increase the chance of that they must write the final paper.

Also, as the PG noted the "peer review" of this site is not the traditional peer review of a normal journal. For example, the title says "Observational Study of 223,128 Subjects" but later it says "a total of 159,561 subjects were included in the analysis". The main part of the difference is that they report in the title the total number of inhabitants, but for the analysis they use only the ones that have more than 18 years old. It's not a smoking gun, but at least it's a small red flag.
Wow, this documentation is incredibly thoughtfully-done. It's wonderful to see a Linux distro give this much attention to holistic user-experience for regular people (going beyond just the UI itself)
> I'm in the minority because I've spent an unusual amount of time investing in my understanding of programming languages and their features, not because I have some fringe unjustified opinion.

I was just making a statement of fact. You're probably a very good programmer (as most type nerds, to coin a new term, tend to be), but still in the minority. Most programmers are not very good, and even good ones sometimes want to build things fast. (Where type ambiguity or even incorectness is accepted as a viable trade-off.)

This is why I stopped prototyping in Java, for example. JS just let me "do stuff" without thinking about it too hard. Lower code quality? Of course; but it let me try out more ideas in the same amount of time. Should you use JavaScript to write the operating system of a pacemaker? Probably not.
That doesn't seem like emergent behaviour
Can you elaborate, what happened with Manjaro?
That's fine: it doesn't suit their needs. No protocol is meant to be all things to all people, and every organisation has its own security posture and its own environment.

I don't think any of that entails that FTP is somehow failing to fulfil its contract. Implementing transport encryption is not within its scope. It has to be run over a secure channel, which can easily be done with FTPS.
Either way, it shouldn't take Tesla more than 3 working days to remedy this situation. Breakpads are a common vehicle consumable that should be available at every dealership. The rotor and a caliper should also be common enough that they could be overnighted or second day shipped. The work itself is simple enough that any shop tech could accomplish in under 2 hours (even the new guys that just change oil).

Nice! I can finally locate LA's Scattergood-Olympic underground transmission line that was repaired in 1989 to much engineering prowess [1].

I love infrastructure engineering. There's so much going on that allows us to take things for granted. Even the 2021 Texas power grid failure fared relatively well for how close it skirted absolute disaster.

[1] https://practical.engineering/blog/2021/9/16/repairing-under... (I should give Grady more money) People here may remember jwz's post on the topic in 2002, copying the emails from 1989 (note the following link may display something unsavory with the HN referrer, in which case copy-and-paste it): https://www.jwz.org/blog/2002/11/engineering-pornography/
Keep in mind that this is just one of a series of articles on a subject that takes books to cover. Currency wouldn't really fall under the "words" covered today, but more likely next weeks organizations.
MIDI 2.0 is the IPv6 of synths. The installed base of original MIDI is huge and the advantages of 2.0 are not immediately obvious, unless you have very specific needs such as microtonality. It might take 10 years for 2.0 to reach critical mass, if all vendors adopt it _en masse_, but there is no reason for it to "fail" outright.
The bigger issue is that command-tab switches between apps, not windows, and command-` switches between windows in the same app, and neither work across spaces.

I ended up installing https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/ which adds a keystroke that will cycle through all windows in all apps on all spaces. It's a huge improvement.
Discussed controversally. Don't trust until proven right or wrong.

"Seriously this is so misleading, please stop spreading it. None of the daily death counts you are following come from the HHS data. They all come from CDC or by rolling up state/local health authority data directly like we did at @COVID19Tracking"
Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were met with cautious optimism by the research community after the first preliminary hits in screening experiments for drug repurposing, exactly as you’re advocating [0]. The tides turned when things didn’t pan out in subsequent clinical studies. Actually, for ivermectin the tide started turning after people realized what an unrealistically massive dose was needed in the first in vitro study [0 again]

There were a few cases of fraud (most notably one of the biggest ivermectin studies last summer) but it’s not necessary to resort to allegations of ubiquitous fraud to conclude that the research doesn’t really support use of these drugs as effective Covid therapeutics

Before I had to give up alcohol completely, I occasionally enjoyed a glass of wine and a good book on Saturday mornings. Sometimes a shot of scotch once or twice a month. I preferred quietly enjoying a drink alone to drinking with friends. I never needed alcohol to have fun.

I don’t see an issue with the occasional drink. The problem is people talking like the author does, don’t do the occasional drink.
Even more broken now :P
So IE is still here and we have no idea when it will stop being here (since companies also have to update).
depends on the friends, tbh
If Elon Musk wasn’t such an asshole, he probably wouldn’t attract extra attention in the first place. (Yet note that there is no quantitative evidence presented here that Tesla gets more attention than other manufacturers when defects arise.)

People often make their own problems by making outrageous claims in the first place.
It’s a part of the “everything you do must be awesome” movement. They forget that most people have a job and a personal life to take care of. Ticking items in a todo list is perfectly fine. Also I had a feeling their main argument is that they’re getting overwhelmed by the list itself. I guess it can be a problem, but the solution is to learn to let your list go sometimes. You must re-assess it regularly.
Has Tesla raised the bar of expectations so high that a mistakes that most car makers have made multiple times are like existential threats for Tesla?
This is highly underrated news. Fantastic, revolutionary development in secure computing via capabilities. Bravo, ARM.
Ctrl-C is a break signal. When you're in the UI, ctrl-c, ctrl-x, and ctrl-v work like you would expect.

How do you send a break on a mac terminal? I didn't think it was any different.
Forgive me for saying this but I find all these complaints shallow, or a sign of youth.

Hear me out, though. The reasons are real. The modern web sucks bad but it's been like that for many, many years. Certainly longer than a decade.

From my point of view, as someone who writes js for a living, I started using NoScript a while ago and the web is generally very fast and nothing shifts position on my screen as things (ads) load. Yeah, I don't do social media and some sites are nothing but a blank page. It's a blessing.

I guess my point is: avoid doing things that annoy you. If you don't like js heavy sites - stop using them. Or just adopt NoScript. No, ublock isn't the exact same thing. The granularity is counter productive in this respect.
I think for highschool you it probably was a 100% replacement for everything you ever did with Photoshop.
At least in the US, there's a fair amount of immigrant medical professionals who have the training, often the experience, but not the licensing.
Emergent behaviour is higher order behaviour that is created by interaction between rules. The rules "higher INT = better potions" and "fortify INT potion increases INT" are the rules that interact to form a positive feedback loop of infinite INT. That's emergence.
> How do you know arithmetic is not complete or consistent? In ZFC arithmetic is complete and arithmetic is consistent. This assumes that ZFC is consistent.

Aren’t you just begging the question by assuming ZFC is consistent to demonstrate that arithmetic is consistent?
I'm not a TeXmacs developer but I am a fan. The software is amazing as you can see from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H46ON2FB30U
You’re just repeating the same thing. This study shows ivermectin does have an effect. It might be because of parasites or not and it has absolutely nothing to do with masks or vaccines so preaching about how masks and vaccines are better is not helpful.

People aren’t going to wear masks forever and aren’t going to take boosters forever so we need more solutions. And before you say, they aren’t going to take ivermectin forever either but that doesn’t mean it’s not useful to know if, why and how it works.
I have very strict rules I follow for alcohol consumption, if for no other reason than I'm the son of a man who was a functioning alcoholic for most of his life.

I've read the big book, and consider it a source of wisdom, even if I perhaps don't follow all of the tenants contained within.

The serenity prayer, which is AA adjacent if not (now) directly part of the AA wisdom is my personal lodestar, it's great wisdom on how to deal with life's challenges.

From it I ascertained that the first two questions one should ask are when encountering something in life are, "is this actually important?" and "is this a problem I can actually solve or make a meaningful difference in helping solve?" - anything one can answer "no" to either of those questions one should just let go of, and try to focus one's energies on other problems.

Also, I'm glad for you, that you found sobriety.
internet 1.0, post AOL, pre dot com crash. You had to roll everything and could even run a server with little fanfare from your home because ISPs allowed you to run your own servers. Now most prohibit or outright block it without a higher tier plan. There were problems with this approach though, spam, malware, etc.

It's only with Web 2 that we became addicted to offloading everything to central providers. Their siren call was too much to resist and now they have all our data. It wasn't designed to be like this, we can just go back but a lot lack the skills to roll the full stack now sans AWS/Google Cloud.
Every (long term) successful person I have met used todo lists.

Having a system to do things is like having good form when playing and instrument (or some sport). You can get quite far without getting the basics right, but then you hit a limit you can't get past it without fundamentally changing things. You can even get injured very easily (literally in sports, burnt out on a desk / management job) or you can just slowly become dead wood over time.

Changing how to do the fundamentals is more and more difficult with experience and age. Once you hit a plateau (or you are already overwhelmed and incapable of coping with things) most people will not be able to start re-learning to do things from scratch neither accept the hit on their productivity for a significant amount of time until they manage to do things on top of the new system.

My advice to those of you who are still young: do count on your immense energy and raw (intelectual) brute force if/as needed but please dedicate a conscious amount of time to deliberately develop a system which is sustainable and can grow with you as needed. You will need to rely on the expertise of others who have already gone very far, in the same way you need to trust your tennis trainer in how to use the racquet. You won't find out by yourself whether you are holding it wrong until you have already hurt yourself. So go and find some system like Getting Things Done or similar, learn it, use it and practice, practice and practice. If you look for role models just search for those people who are very productive in an apparently effortless and natural way. Those are the ones to learn from.
Yes, and learn to let the list go sometimes. Re-assess it, toss it away and make another one, etc. It’s much better to consciously ignore/forget about some tasks (because they have become unimportant) than to unwillingly forget something important.
Electric is a paradigm shift. What makes you think ICE manufacturers will ever be able to catch Tesla?
I see a lot of "whataboutism" in the comments, mostly from people who (for some reason) feel the need to defend Tesla. What's the purpose of this? Criticizing a company or calling out their mistake does not detract from it, it pushes them to get better in fact. You can love something/someone and still recognize their shortcomings.

Other car manufacturers making a mistake does not justify Tesla's mistake or their handling of the situation. We are supposed to hold all car manufacturers to the highest standards instead of justifying Tesla's mistake with someone else's.
Finally All 200 tracks on OGA
ndots is like 99.9% of the postmortems on k8s.af. I just put dots behind fully qualified domain names in config files. Works in the browser too. It seems like we took on a lot of pain to avoid one extra byte at the end of hostnames.
I think it's more that the cultural opportunity has passed for local-first digital experiences, where the world's affairs are far away and local affairs are close. Let alone the increasingly challenged defaultness of the physical world. We're way too connected for connection to be special anymore, unless we all decide to take a few steps back from the digital world.

Perhaps in other cultures and contexts (probably far smaller and tight-knit ones) it may be possible to build the kind of infrastructure to enhance civic spirit, but I fear in the US at least it'd devolve into Nextdoor-style neighbor gripes which are mostly indistinguishable from the arguments on any other fora.
I drink, but only anti-socially.
I went with a Gazelle. I splurged a little bit and got 32GB of RAM, and both a NVMe drive and an SSD, so I have both plenty of RAM and plenty of fast storage. By and large I am extremely satisfied with this box so far. The only thing I really don't like, and this is admittedly a pretty subjective thing, is the layout of the keyboard vis-a-vis the right shift key. I prefer a full-length shift key, above the arrow keys. This has a smaller shift key, which is just to the left of the up arrow key and above the left arrow key. It's a minor nit, but it's not as convenient to the way I like to use the shift and arrow keys together for selecting text.
