Yeah, social stuff like that is an issue. I currently use Telegram to keep in touch with some friends; the big upshot of Telegram is that after registering, you can use web.telegram.org or the desktop app without having your smartphone (or in my case, emulator) powered on. There's no E2E encryption, but that's fine. WhatsApp, Signal, and most other solutions really are tied to the smartphone: web.whatsapp.com will route messages through your phone; it's really annoying; I wish they would just E2E directly from your laptop, but I guess that's too obscure of a "market" to cater too.

You can still use it with the Android Emulator though; there's a bunch of solutions for this but I just use the Android Studio one. It works, but you need to keep the emulator running and isn't especially convenient.

I feel like tying a lot of things to these proprietary platforms that are impossible to integrate with independently is essentially redoing the mistakes of the 90s and 00s that we had with Microsoft where you more or less had to have Microsoft Office or you'd have a hard time reading/editing those .doc files sent to you (eventually OpenOffice.org was kind-a okay at it, but still far from perfect).

I don't even mind non-free software as a matter of principle, I just want the freedom to use an "alternative" system like my Linux desktop or maybe some eclectic device like PinePhone or those modern PDA things or whatnot to participate in basic stuff, instead of being forced to shell out money to one of those huge tech giants with a bazillion dollars to purchase thingies I don't even like.
That seems like a very reasonable interpretation. I would add that they had. preference for making the roads safe because the roads have thousand pound death machines, and later increased the safety actions to improve the lives of people who might fall down. It was very weird to toss gender in, but this is the 2020s I guess.

I like it because it’s super fast, but the main reason is familiarity - I know how to do everything with it, and I haven’t seen a strong need for me to pick up another tool.

I live in London where snow is not really a thing. However, when I visited New York (after a major snow storm) I was really surprised by how little effort was made to make the sidewalk passable. In fact, the snow from the road was often piled 6ft high on the sidewalk.

Perhaps this is why it's notable for a large percentage of the HN audience?
Yep. I used to spend a lot of time working with WordPress sites, maybe 5 or so years ago. I don't have any factual data for this, but I suspect that some of the plugin creators pivoted to a "greedy by design" strategy.

If you have had 1,000s of bloggers write about your free product, advertising it on your behalf for years. Why not take that success and squeeze the living soul out of it?

I mean, it's not like people are going to go back to their reviews or old blog posts to correct something. All the "juice" is still being passed to you, and search engines like Google are none the wiser.
Whenever I tell someone I was competing for International Biology Olympiad, they were always saying, "Uh I hate biology, it is just memorizing names." Yes, biology exam in school is just memorizing, but it's a totally different beast for the international competition.

You still need to know basic biology, but more often than not, the solution is in the problem. It's more of reading graph, recognizing pattern, and inferring conclusion based on the data provided.

I only reached national level because my lab skill was garbage, but still, fun times.

Ask HN: What are the most aesthetically pleasant to read tech blogs?
Hello HN,

I would like to start writing tech articles and create my own blog. I'm looking for inspirations of a simple design that focus on readability.

Of all the tech blogs you've stumbled upon, are there any that stood out on how pleasant it was to read them besides their content ?
If that was the case, then Adobe delivered a defective product and should make the patch available to people who bought the one-time license.

Patches used to be a thing, right?
Completely agree. I took the leap hard. Had some steep learning curves, but working well now. Nextcloud, onlyoffice, mattermost, pihole running on a home server. shifted to ubuntu from mac.

The two most striking things are 1) how good the free software is. 2) how much less time i spend avoiding gotchas and dark patterns.
Study Claims Skyrim Is the Best Game for 'Mindfulness'
>At the end of this study, a list of top 10 games that most easily helped players reach a state of flow began to emerge, with Skyrim (#1) at the very top, alongside games such as Tetris (#3), The Witcher 3 (#4), Minecraft (#5), and No Man's Sky (#6).

I'm quite happy to see Tetris so high!

Regarding Skyrim, I personally don't find it very replayable, since the story and quests are quite fixed. What I mean is, once you've done the Winterhold questline, there isn't much point in doing it again, because it's always the same. Same goes for majority of questlines.

Skyrim does have a system that gives you infinite quests but as you can guess they're soulless, repetitive and kinda pointless...

I do like Skyrim though and if I ever buy Steam Deck I would love to play Skyrim in it!

The proposal still allows you to consent to targeted advertising. However targeting minors and certain protected groups is not allowed.

So if you think targeted ads can be a net positive to your life, I have good news: you can still consent even if this proposal passes in its current form. Those of us who don't agree with you get to make a choice.

The people I'm talking about are in positions where being smart isn't optional. One poster here provides a nice datapoint to the contrary, and there are probably others. But the interesting thing to me about the people that I know is that they themselves are not aware of it. They attribute their changes to a host of other factors but never to their Cannabis use.

Because it's a needlessly divisive way to frame things? If you make something women-vs-men, you're nudging people to think of it in a zero-sum, us-against-them way. If you talk about fairness for everyone, you encourage those who are currently better off to support it, because you're reassuring them that if and when they're worse off, they will also be supported.

It's interesting, I don't see that being on cloud would have avoided or helped this situation much. They were able to ramp up their hardware very quickly - who knows where they got it that fast - and it actually made the problem worse, so being on cloud and having the ability to do that with keystrokes would not have helped. You could say they might be using a different set of components if they were on cloud which may not have suffered the same issues, but you can play the what if game all day it's not related to pros/cons of public cloud.
I use Notepad++ with NppFTP and TextFX, but I think TextFX is 32bit only and that most TextFX tools are integrated now anyway.

I love it, and in my current investigation into the viability of switching to a Linux Desktop it's something I haven't found a good replacement for yet. Notepadqq looks like a Notepad++ clone but I'm wary of its use of Javascript and would have to convert my custom UDLs to CodeMirror modes. I'll probably end up just using Notepad++ with Wine.

You're presenting a false dichotomy. "Targeted" ads refer to ads that are contextual on the user (and thereby objectifying the person). There's nothing wrong with contextualizing ads in another way, e.g. on geography or on surrounding site content.

When I walk outside, I don't see ads for the NYC Metro system here. If real-life ads were as random as you suggest, I should have seen a few of those. But I don't, because real-life ads are geographically targeted. That's not the kind of targeting that's being banned here.

Notepad++ is much faster than VSCode.

You also need to ask yourself "is there a way to do a useful thing without this". Like, evolution can't jump, if the same gene expression gives you better pattern matching and improved chances of hallucinations, depending on the selection drift, you might go for this, and then you are stuck with hallucinations long after the benefit of pattern matching might be lost.
I don't really share OP's impressions. I think the move to the subscription model is one of the best things that happened to our industry in the recent years.

It's a model which lets you sustainably sell software and keep working on it, delivering updates, etc.

The pay per update model forces the creator to release big feature updates, even if the features are just bloat, as bug fix releases and stability work will usually sell much worse. That's mostly fixed by the subscription model.

I don't see how these are user hostile.

Yeah, subscriptions that are hard to cancel are bad. But that's just a scam, not an inherent problem with subscriptions. I can go and cancel any subscription I have in a few clicks - with the best experience being in the Apple App Store, where I have a single place to manage all subscriptions paid through the App Store.

I recently got a new MacBook for work and when I was surfing there was all sorts of popups and ads and such. I got none of these things on my personal iMac. It took a day or two for me to realize that it wasn't about (e.g.) the different version of macOS or Safari that I was running.

Once I updated the work machine's hosts(5) file things it was a night-and-day difference.

I cannot believe that people tolerate surfing the web without any ad filtering / blocking.

Potential solutions involves redesigning and replacing a part inside the nuclear core (if this is possible) or lower the allowed power output from 1650 MW to less than 1000 MW.
Ribbons were an excellent design pattern for new users. The problem is it disrupted many power users who reacted negatively.

I think anything that changes nothing is more willing to have faithful users but changes can be good if done in a utilitarian way considering different types of users.
Ha. I still had to do it yesterday because the PPI of my screen is 141 and so Nvidia set it to that and KDE half followed along making everything have larger title bars and fonts even at 100% desktop scaling. I had to set it to ignore the monitor's true ppi and just use 96.

There are ways to walk on that without needing to worry. If you grow up in Scandinavia, at least in the north, you might go years without so much as slipping.

Are you sure? AFAIK the laser links are just needed to further reduce latency. I don’t think SpaceX needs any ground stations.

This is an interesting reply, but very much off topic. The GP asked, and I quote:

> Why is Microsoft having problems finding designers that use and know both?

and you totally failed to answer that.
Can someone explain this like I am 5. What are the use cases when it says works on images, text etc? Why is this a big deal? What's the human input here? And what output to expect?

From what I understand, human validation (supervision) is not happening while algorithm is training on data. Is that right? Will this be open to the public via standard ML frameworks or proprietary?
> Why not simply look at statistics like that, without "gender hacking"? And how long have they been doing it, do they have updated statistics? Also severity of the injuries? What about the emergency doctors trying to reach patients on roads that are not cleared? What number of injuries are we talking about?

The injuries are generally bruises. Sprains, at worst. Slipping and falling is painful, but unless you're old and frail you're very unlikely to crack or break anything.
I just assume they have/can afford only one transoceanic fiber link which has to land somewhere.
> Microsoft are still making personal office subscriptions cheaper than buying office was.

Nah you are missing the forest for the trees. Office at the moment is a gateway drug for Microsoft to get you on their cloud services. Office is not an end product anymore, it is a hook to capture market into their cloud services. They could sell office at a loss and still make money from all the Corporate/government contracts they got hooked on Azure.
> So the order was reversed. Municipalities faced no additional cost for clearing pedestrian paths first. And it reduced injuries, in addition to being objectively fairer.

How can it be fairer? If you clear surface A before surface B, the people using surface A will always benefit from that, it doesn't matter who those people are. If you reverse it, the other people will benefit instead.

So, let's say you want to divide the population into two groups, X and Y, so that if you treat group X better than Y it doesn't matter since the division was fair so the treatment is fair. What is the best way to divide?
I don't think there is any way of dividing that is more fair than any other, because there will always be the losing half, and the losing half will always be able to call themselves a name and say that they are discriminated against.
As long as you are not intentionally selecting people with some traits differently than others, I don't think you can do any better.

Example. There are four persons, A, B, C and D. Which way of dividing them is more fair? AB/CD or AC/BD? There is no way to answer this because the fairness is not in how they are divided, it's in why they are divided the way they are. It's like asking: which is the most random number, 34 or 92? Randomness is not in the number, it's in how it was selected.
Astronomy as a whole probably needs to move off world.

Eventually someone was going to fill up orbit, and cheap global internet connectivity is a really good reason to do so.

The telescopes you need for NEO detection aren't very big, so we really should fund a full high orbit web of them for planetary defence.
And all kinds of competitive programming events, such as Codeforces.
I meant Unity already solved the "make creating a cross platform game trivial" thing.

Games on the web face far greater issues than WASM or WebGPU can solve (like a complete lack of an asset delivery pipeline), unless you're only after casual flash-style gaming anyway. But mobile largely replaced that market.

This is a nice proposal overall. I'm not sure I agree with the bans on health, religion and sexual orientation (depending on your point of view such ads can be exploitative or useful) but I agree that targeting minors is not cool, and I like how the proposal makes targeting off-by-default and requires your consent.

It sounds like they're also trying to make things like Do Not Track legally binding:

In order to avoid fatiguing recipients who refuse to consent,
terminal equipment settings that signal an objection to processing
of personal data should be respected.

It does seem like they're trying to outlaw dark patterns that nag and coerce a consent out of you.

This would be a massive win if you ask me. I don't want to be bombarded with consent bullshit all the time, and I also don't want my privacy violated.

Currently Starlink doesn't do Satelite-Satelite communication, so you'd have to downlink reasonably close to Tonga. Even ignoring the lack of downlink equipment, the maximum range is about 250 miles.

Fiji is the nearest realistic location to downlink, Suva, where many cables land (including the cable from Tonga). It's 466 miles, way over the horizon.
