It does seem like a privilege escalation in the reverse direction, allowing banks to escalate a decision about security into one about devices. They should not have that power, and it's far from the only solution.
That's the thing. More people are going to analyse it basically if it's open, but they wanted to analyse it either way and if it were closed, they would have found the several people who did spend the work decompiling and analysing certain data or reverse engineering it and use their findings.

> The cost of those luxury items don't come from the cost of making them.

That's not entirely true, especially when it comes to haute couture. For example, clothes made by a French fashion house may take tens/hundreds of hours to make, at Western European salaries. Yes, agreed, the markup puts the cost into the stratosphere, but the point is that clothes made like this would need to cost thousands of dollars at minimum just to cover the labor (instead of the tens of thousands they sell for).

I interpreted the parent's comment of "not terribly high" as meaning not terribly high when compared to modern day clothes that take a similar amount of labor. When you think about it, the amount of manual labor that would need to go into a tunic (shearing wool or picking cotton, washing and spinning the fibers, weaving the cloth, sewing and cutting the garment) is enormous without modern day machines. The reason stuff like fast fashion today is so cheap is not just that it's put together in poor countries (though that's obviously part of it), but that the total amount of labor that goes into something like a shirt or dress is in the the ~10-15 minute range, not the 30-40 hour range.
I think you need to get the most accurate data re: how much your health care and other fixed fringe benefits cost your agency so you can make an educated appeal showing that you recognize you're willing to see a calculated and reasonable decrease in your hourly compensation.

Then you need to consider if your agency is going to be able to generate the same number of billable hours if you cut back.

If they can't without hiring someone else, I've seen some success when two people offer themselves up as a paired unit where between their billable time and fringe benefit expenses, they still offer a net benefit (or at least not a net loss for the employer).
The "modified MIT" license is a dealbreaker.
I could tell just by reading the various related articles that the university has only a few choices here. The problem is that UIC did a number of things procedurally wrong and ultimately, they did restrict the freedom of their academic faculty in a way that violates the fundamental agreement between a professor and university.

They have no choice here but to restore his class and admit they violated his intellectual freedom. I am curious why the professor chose to use that specific language- IE, was he trying to create a court case? Just a naive guy writing a question?

Okay, that's a change in the narrative. It's not useless. It's only useless if you're not a criminal. But that's sort of backwards. Technology is just a tool. It doesn't decide how it's going to be used. Humans decide the ways in which tools are used, adding morality & legality.

What about this tool makes it criminal by nature?

It's censorship-resistant, private (if you want it to be), and very inefficient energy-wise. It's the logical extension of encryption. Encryption is also useful for criminal purposes and internet crime wouldn't really exist without it. Privacy != criminal. Also, do you know how much energy it would save if nothing was encrypted?

Every government in the history of the world has eventually collapsed causing devastation for its people. Money printers go wild. Corruption everywhere. People cannot afford basic necessities. If we can figure out a money that cannot be messed with, maybe that's not such a bad thing.
htmx is really cool, but definitely different.

Hibiki is a lot heavier and so it is more appropriate for internal tools, prototypes, dashboards, etc. as opposed to fast/quick consumer facing sites. Also Hibiki "renders" data on the frontend, whereas htmx takes pre-rendered html from your backend and splices it into the dom.
Step 2: there are no "best practices" at all. These are just design decisions made by other people for their own reasons.
I agree with your point.

I dont know what it is about some devs aversion for HTML.

But a anchor with a data attribute should more than suffice rather than creating over-engineered abstractions.

But then again, not many devs even read the HTML docs.

This is the reason I stopped using Netflix. The Roku app is slow as molasses, often the description and preview images for a movie will load just at the same time the autoplay starts.

Hi guys :)

A few months ago, I posted on Hacker News about a Chrome extension I developed (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29199004).

Details are on my previous post but the short story is that I developed this extension because when I’ve to do intensive research, I’ve a lot of tabs open. But adding each interesting webpage to my bookmarks or my reading list isn’t a great solution because I don’t remember why I saved a specific webpage and what part of the webpage is interesting to me.

With Stringmark, you can save snippets and the URL of any webpage so that you can exactly know why you saved a specific webpage!
The first advantage of Stringmark is that it is extremely easy to use: no useless features, no login required! The second advantage of Stringmark is that I have no server costs, which means that Stringmark will never stop working, the premium version is a one-time payment (+ of course there’s a free version).

So I'm posting again on Hacker News because the extension is now available on Chrome AND on Firefox (there were quite a few requests), some bugs have been fixed, you are now able to export and import lists (csv format) and you can also choose to save a list locally or to synchronize it. Of course, I plan to add other useful features so don’t hesitate to give me your feedback/ideas!

> If you as a normal software engine write a topological sort algorithm you likely failed your job.

No, because the way topological sorts show up in many systems is not amenable to a library. Sometimes you will have unusual caching strategies available to you or the topological sort needs to work with some weird asynchronicity that no library handles well.

Even if you do just need a topological sort it's often not worth bringing a library in. It's a simple algorithm implementable in a few lines of code in many languages.

The hospital case load is overwhelmingly, screamingly, massively dominated by the elderly unvaccinated.

Are you sure this is true? The data you linked to shows that hospitalization rate for 65+ unvaccinated is 7x 65+ vaccinated. But WA has a great vaccination rate, over 99% for 65+ with one or more shot. So even with 7x the rate, unvaccinated elderly probably aren't massively dominating hospitalizations because it is such a small pool of ppl.

UK government to release NMAP scripts to identify vulnerabilities
Actual, deductive logic can't be used in any scientific field because we don't have scientific objective truths. Science is based on inductive reasoning and constant hypothesis checking. Plenty of scientific facts we once thought were "true" ended up being false such as Newton's laws of gravity. The only place where true deductive logic really has a use is philosophy and pure mathematics, which are completely abstracted from reality. The laws of physics as we understand can always be overturned at some point; the laws of mathematics cannot.

My argument was that any rational person should be able to conclude it's a scam. That's really the extent of my willingness to engage further.
No such claim, it was over 30 exiles, and I suspect were also given large amounts of money and weapons. It’s a murky area of history, I haven’t dug deep enough to be able to authenticate supposed forgeries etc. but prima facie it would make sense.

That’s just not true, there are plenty of states that run surpluses.

I didn’t say their tax policy was good, only that it’s difficult to address deficits when you can’t reliably collect taxes.

It’s all related. The government doesn’t collect sufficient tax revenue => they raise taxes => people evade taxes => the government raises taxes more.

Such backwards tax policy is a sign that those who can evade taxes are (usually mostly the elites, but to an extent everyone does it), and those who can’t are footing the whole bill.

The worst part is that there are millions of github projects that are abandoned, obsolete, uncompilable, unworkable, broken etc. Meanwhile you can still find every kind of widget in jqueryscript.net and it works! Seriously, screw more frameworks, javascript programming is fundamentally broken and no amount of frameworking or godawful constructs will fix that basic fact.

Using a multi-tape archive increases your chance of failing to restore.

Rather than having one possible tape that can be corrupt, you know have more than one. Any single failure will corrupt the whole archive, and you've lost (easy access to) the data.

Better to break up the source volume somehow, and have each tape self-contained.
No, that's not true. The Federal Reserve does print money, in the form of being able to buy unlimited amounts of securities (Quantitative Easing) as well as being able to arbitrarily increase the amount of money in bank reserves. This is what the Fed has been doing during Covid and many would say this is the direct cause of the high inflation we are seeing now. It's very possible to inflate the currency at a pace that will not result in the complete destruction of the currency.

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is one of the most annoying things about regional indicator symbols, which is that interpreting them correctly requires arbitrary backtracking, and handling this correctly is very annoying for things like text fields.

Basically: A single, unpaired RIS counts as a single grapheme. Similarly, a pair of RIS count as a single grapheme. Now imagine if your cursor position is after an RTS, and you arrow backwards (assuming LTR text, imagine your cursor is to the right of an RIS, and you press the left arrow.) Your textbox should now move the cursor to the left by one grapheme. How do you figure out where this is, in code units? You basically have to scan backwards until you find the first non-RIS codepoint, and then you have to match them up into pairs to figure out if your left-arrow movement should correspond to a movement of one or two codepoints.

This is a longstanding source of bugs, and if you're bored you can play around with pasting a huge sequence of flags into a textfield and then trying to navigate around it with the arrow keys/mouse. There are some broken implementations out there.

edit: while I'm thinking about this I will point out that an alternative design, which would have solved this problem (and which was first pointed out to me by @raphlinus) would have been to have two separate sets of RI symbols, one for 'first position' and one for 'second position'; then you could always determine the appropriate cursor position without needing context. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing?
