Yeah I think for the car's owner, it's not a bad placement. IMHO, it would better if it were also readily visible to occasional passenger.

For anyone (like me) who missed that this is a multi-page article, the quote is from page 6: https://web.archive.org/web/19991109030656/http://www.gamesp...
"Bell didn’t say it, but Bach’s “Chaconne” is also considered one of the most difficult violin pieces to master. Many try; few succeed. It’s exhaustingly long -- 14 minutes -- and consists entirely of a single, succinct musical progression repeated in dozens of variations to create a dauntingly complex architecture of sound. Composed around 1720, on the eve of the European Enlightenment, it is said to be a celebration of the breadth of human possibility."

Some have speculated that Bach wrote this piece upon returning from a trip to find that his wife Maria had died unexpectedly.

Lots of charm, water, rust…
The situations aren't comparable because in your case (the former Yugoslavia) you're talking about state censorship and control of information by threat of criminal prosecution. The US specifically has protections against this via the First Amendment.

Instead we have private actors choosing not to be in the misinformation business. Various hate groups and such have been deplatformed by Twitter, Facebook, etc. Those fringe sources still exist. They're just in darker corners of the Internet. They're not entitled to free, mass distribution just to spew lies without recourse.

Lastly, it's worth pointing out that we censor things all the time as it is when there is an overriding interest in doing so. Examples: criminal cases involving minors (ie their names), naming certain victims in court cases, courts sealing records, publishing of military secrets, publishing of dangerous information (eg how to make a biological weapon), information to doxx/swat people and so on.
I don't think you've understood me. You sound like you are disagreeing with me, and yet you are saying (more or less) the same thing as I was.
I agree with all of this, but the assertion that some are making that the window demisting is weakly related to the climate control system seems very odd.

It's literally a function of the climate control system, and is almost always part of the same set of buttons as temp/fans etc in a car with hard buttons.

When you push the demist button, air is directed to the windscreen, by the same system that directs air to your face or feet.
To me, that is the strangest twist in this whole story: that Trump gets boo-ed by his supporters when he advises them to get vaccinated. They blindly accept everything he says, except for this one thing, which happens to be reasonable.
I wonder if your property's coordinates would remain in any old but still-commissioned targetting databases of adversarial nations. Like living under a big red X.
I’ve been to arcades in a fairly limited region of the US, and other than a few aimed older, they seem to be exactly like the larger of the old kid/family ones, often scaled up even farthe, but not the small, dark, dingy games-and-nothing-else ratholes that were also common in the 1980s (but less kid/family friendly.)
Truly, thank you for your reply.

Do you also find the hot is easier to deal with? I actually shyed away from the northern areas because of the cold/snow, which you make not sound so bad. In transparency, we're considering Sierra Vista and Las Cruces in our search, but they get considerably warmer.

Empty trails sound great. The population boom where we live now is what made us decide to go :).
I’ve worked with plenty of coders who just says “I don’t know.” When faced with a problem.

I’ve also seen plenty of non coders who go the extra mile (even learn to code!) when faced with a new challenge.

You can maybe make the argument that persistence/grit is more prevalent in coders (not that all coders have grit). I’d guess maybe internally motivated and curious people tend to gravitate to specialist roles - not necessarily just coding.
These guys [1] did a series of videos on a similar one. They answer a lot of questions about what it takes, but the upshot is... probably not worth the trouble for 99% of folks.

I was at Ron's conference talk, and I remember it differently. The spacecraft had a problem, but was not allowed to run on lisp. Hence debugging and fixing it in a repl was impossible.

But Ron wrote a simulator in lisp, and could verify the necessary procedure in his lisp simu. The C code was patched and the spacecraft survived the reboot.
But after re-reading the paper I could have mixed it up, and lisp was indeed in space, and was only killed later.

I often remember his story, and often implement similar simus for my firmwares. And very often such a simu is the best tool to find bugs or to verify patches.
All our patrons leave glowing reviews!
Terrible! And terrifying!
I wrote this because like others, I found the "notch" on newer iPhones and MacBooks distracting - particularly when using a second display as a primary monitor (when there's no menu bar to balance out the unusable space at the top of the screen).

I realized that by creating a tinted bar the same height as the notch across the top of a background image, I could significantly diminish the distraction factor of the notch. Someone had written an app that did something like this, but I wasn't interested in keeping some piece of third party software running all the time just to achieve this.

Enter: notchbegone.com. By writing a tool to auto-generate background images with my desired top bar overlay, I could easily subdue the notch without any added overhead to my system.

Isn’t BPA all over our hands from grocery store receipts? Plastic is probably a tiny contributor to overall exposure.
It's a bad idea. It's just cheaper than physical controls.
Why? The government already controls city layout. If they don’t want you to go somewhere, just don’t build a road there at all. If they don’t want you going there sometimes, use tire spikes.

wow.. its almost exactly dead set in the center of the US...

Looks like the sort of place a crypto-bro would blow a few million on.
But the demister is in the same section as the climate control for just about any car with hard buttons, it's literally part of the system.

The UX sucks, but if you did know where climate control features are hidden, why would you not assume the demister function is elsewhere?

UX is interesting because what is seemingly common sense to me (demister = climate control) is totally not to others.
Hugo has a multilingual mode[1] which I am using on two websites. It's a bit confusing at first but works pretty well for me.

For content, you basically put blogarticle.en.md and blogarticle.fr.md next to each other it will treat it as the same article in different languages. Per default it puts different language websites into different subdirectories (with a default language at root level) but it also supports multi hosts setups where you can define different domains for each language (e.g. blog.de and blog.fr).
There's support for generating "this article in other languages" type menus, which allows you to crosslink the website across languages.
There's also i18n support for translating stuff in templates etc., where you provide a dictionary file with translated versions of each string, and it'll replace them based on the language of the current article (useful for stuff like navigational menus etc.).

Well, there is a good argument to be made for being in the center of the attack as preferable to the alternative.
These are from the PANGO lineage designation system (https://www.pango.network). They're based on the inferred phylogeny (i.e. family tree) of the various variants. Variant B.1.1.529 (not BA.1.1.529 -- that's a mistake in the article) is descended from B.1.1, which is descended from B.1, which is descended from B (which is the first haplotype that was detected). More specifically, B.1.1.529 is the 529th descendant of B.1.1 that the pango group have assigned a number to; it has no particular relation to B.1.1.528.

So what about "BA"? To keep these sequences from getting too long, they assign aliases, and BA is the alias of B.1.1.529 (they ran out of single-letter prefixes a while ago). So BA.1 is short for B.1.1.529.1, and BA.2 is short for B.1.1.529.2, etc. (And since these are all in the Omicron family tree, they're all classed as Omicron subvariants.) Similarly, the original Delta variant was B.1.617.2, which was assigned the alias AY, so AY.1 (=B.1.617.2.1), AY.2 (=B.1.617.2.2), etc are all Delta subvariants.

The current full lineage list is available at https://cov-lineages.org/lineage_list.html. Note that they're tracking variants in far more detail than any non-virus-nerd cares about. If I'm counting right, there are 1575 non-withdrawn lineages listed, including 210 in the Delta family.
Agreed. That one seems like an afterthought. Thankfully, the issue has been fixed in w206.
>There are many examples, at the end of the day... the people in the institutions will protect themselves.

This extends well beyond the science itself, for what it's worth. It's an open secret in every department that professors X, Y and Z have the same level of sexual restraint as Harvey Weinstein. It doesn't stop the "woke" institutions doing everything they can to protect these professors' reputations, though.
That isn't a fair assessment. For example Next allows fully static content (no JS at all) all the way to fully dynamic content with a few steps in-between. It's up to the developer to decide which of these they use. This decision is made per page btw.
Unassuming is an understatement. I lived immediately adjacent a few years ago and had no idea it existed until now.

Looking at street view, there's a sign on the south side, but walking on that street is terrible so I always crossed the north side, which is completely featureless.

Those key concepts are what I'm after. In every vid or article I'm learning from inevitably there's a point where I can see they pivot and lose me, and it's because I'm missing a key perspective or concept. I've yet to figure out what that actually is, which makes it hard to ask for advice! Cuz I don't have the question.
> Just like how it’s easy to spot Electron based apps, it seems easy to spot JavaScript framework based sites too.

It is, even on good connections and using new hardware, they'll load slightly slower than bare HTML pages. The latter will finish rendering before you're even aware that it loaded. I've run into many simple blogs that won't load at all without JavaScript.

It isn't just blogs either. I inherited a static site from a client that ran a real estate development business, and it wouldn't load without JavaScript. If you opened it on a phone or tablet you'd see a loading screen for 5+ seconds. The site just had some images and text.

What policies did Biden change around distribution?
I thank you for your useful links, but I feel like you're nitpicking or don't understand what I'm saying.

The substructure was rated 6, and the superstructure and deck were rated 4, which is "poor". Yes.

This document (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/mtguide.pdf) appears to define the ratings:

"4 POOR CONDITION - advanced section loss, deterioration, spalling
or scour.

3 SERIOUS CONDITION - loss of section, deterioration, spalling or
scour have seriously affected primary structural components.
Local failures are possible. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear
cracks in concrete may be present.

2 CRITICAL CONDITION - advanced deterioration of primary structural
elements. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in
concrete may be present or scour may have removed substructure
support. Unless closely monitored it may be necessary to close
the bridge until corrective action is taken.

1 "IMMINENT" FAILURE CONDITION - major deterioration or section
loss present in critical structural components or obvious
vertical or horizontal movement affecting structure
stability. Bridge is closed to traffic but corrective action
may put back in light service."

If a bridge that collapsed was rated 4, and "imminent failure" is three grades below that, then I don't believe it's possible to avoid the conclusion that the process of rating and prioritizing maintenance has some flaw that needs correction.

But I wasn't relying on the technical details that I didn't know in my original comment.

I just was certain that the odds of all of the thousands of PA bridges being perfectly prioritized and this one being the precise bridge where funds ran out was essentially zero.

There is, and will be, a lot of arguing about whether funds that should've been utilized for maintenance were diverted for political purposes.

Something that has affected my thinking and made me more "squishy" as a Democrat is reading an article about how maybe the poor condition of the initial ACA website directly resulted from budgeting orders of magnitude too much money.

Kind of like, choosing the wrong person to develop your website is one thing, but if say up front the budget is a billion dollars, nobody who's honest will even bid.

As I said before, I still believe in "tax and spend" policy, but I am coming to think that overspending isn't just overspending, but also can ensure failure of itself. I don't want to read about the details of wasted spending in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I know in my gut what I'd expect.

“Variants such as Torpedo, Pawn-sideways, No-Castling, and Self-capture are now a reality, playable on a major chess portal such as chess.com.5 On the back of the initial evidence, the first No-castling tournament was held in Chennai in January 2020.” - one of the last few paragraphs in the article
We're talking a $5 per vaccine difference, which is minuscule compared to the economic impact and lives saved. It was wrong of the EU to push so hard on price.

But regardless your own article claims production capacity in Europe was the problem (precisely the thing that OWS and the Defense Production Act rectified in the US):

> “Production was always going to be a problem,” said Schulthess. The industry had been pulling back from Europe for years — in part because of growing vaccine hesitancy. “It takes five years and a pile of cash to build a [vaccine factory] by the book,” said Schulthess.

And European infrastructure was unprepared for vaccine distribution (again from your own article):

> The Hague had bet so strongly on the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab being the first to be approved that it hadn’t finished preparing to transport mRNA vaccines, which need to be kept at temperatures far below freezing

And there were bureaucratic delays associated with getting other vaccine variants (same article):

> Countries can’t just follow the U.K.’s lead by unilaterally authorizing vaccines purchased by the EU — doses purchased by Brussels can only be released after they get the EMA’s signoff, according to the agreement. So even though Budapest tried to make a point by green-lighting the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab, it won’t get any shots before the rest of the bloc.

Please read your own article as it names and shames all the reasons of the European delay, of which merely one is price.

> have a higher vaccination rate and overtook the US by now

Yes, but we're discussing the impact of OWS which would only change how fast the initial rollout was. Obviously now there are a lot of antivaxers in the US who will never get the vaccine but that's unrelated to OWS.
> Back in the day we had the giant amoral corporations and the social justice advocates and they would duke it out in the political arena. The public would balance the benefits of corporations (jobs, more stuff, etc.) against social justice and distributional concerns. But today, the giant amoral corporations have coopted political movements for social justice by pretending to join them.

I don't think it has ever been different. Corporations don't care about much that doesn't hurt their bottom line. They just care about positive PR and to achieve that they side with whatever team that seems to be winning right now.

A lot of the companies preaching wokeness now have supported fascists in the past and most of them would probably do it again, it just depends on what's popular.

> Ideas that had been the stock and trade of liberals, like opposing racism, have been redefined and redeployed to stifle opposition to globalism and giving away the store to China.

You have a corporate party and a corporate party. Typical left-wing ideas have been hollowed out by the democratic party as a nice paint on their corporate agenda, with the same motivation as described above. The republicans do the same thing, but with xenophobia.

Your comment sounds defeatist, like them doing that ruins something. They may be trying to redefine meanings, but pointing that out and standing for the original ones is both possible and effective.

What do you mean by "someone like me?" Your reality is not any reality I've experienced.

I work for a company nobody here has heard of, working on a boring tech stack. Absolutely nothing I do day to day would make into any blog post, let alone anything on HN. I, and my ~dozen or so coworkers, get at least one cold recruiter contact a week. Obviously most of them are garbage. But we've all gotten the random contact from an Amazon or Microsoft or Facebook recruiter. The interviews are available.

YC runs workatastartup.com - I submitted my resume and a two-sentence intro to 5 or 6 companies and I think I got an interview at all but one. The interview is the easy part, and if you can't even get that with a decade of programming experience, you're getting caught in some arbitrary filter. Which is to say, respectfully, you're doing something wrong because that's simply not what the market is right now. Or, you're not quite as qualified as you think you are.
Huge fan of statically generated pages. We statically generate all our pages at Levels.fyi. Another benefit is that static websites are also great for SEO. Cool to see a lot more adoption and progress around the tech here. For example, once you reach tens of thousands of generated pages it can get a bit hard to maintain, but tools such as Next's incremental static regeneration make things a bit easier: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/increme...

Where I lived after the Cold War the local news world cover imploding missile silos once in a while.

They interviewed the American and Russians (they get to watch) folks at the site.

Young reporter once asked how the Russians could be sure what silo it is if they’re escorted by Americans the whole time.

The American commander paused and said “My Russian counterpart here probably knows this location as well as I do.”

The Russian who previously only used a translator burst out in a smile and belly laugh.

Regardless of where one stands on warez, it's often the de-facto only source for obscure titles.

Someone linked the SAE standard in a different comment, but that and the law together basically say nothing about how to turn it on. It only says that you must have one, and how effectively it must perform when on. Then again, both of those are from the late 60s, when computers in cars were still unheard of, physical controls for everything were the norm, and perhaps common sense prevailed a little more...
Yeah we’ve actually moved to a new country to experiment with the idea of remote working in lower COL area. But it sucks to think that we may not be able to live in the area we grew up in if we want to go back.
