> And since I'm using a tiling window manager, the window is basically full-screen.

Tiling wm works well for me with tall/narrow browser windows utilizing the "phone view". I rarely have full-screen browser window, it's more often 1/4 to 2/3 screen width.
It would be nice to have this tool: http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/

So ASCII drawings could be rendered into pretty ones.
They get most of their money from advertising deals with those major companies (such as by putting google in as the default search engine). Competing against them would likely result in those companies removing the advertising dollars and tanking the business.
> Facebook says it spent more than $5 billion on safety measures in 2021.

I suspect that Facebook does ban folks but that the people who do it attempt to get around the bans. If this could be solved by banning the people who do this, I imagine Facebook would have done that already and pocketed the 5 Billion dollars.
Mermaid looks similar to PlantUML. Anyone that gave used both and can compare?
> 1. Commodities are bad long term bets because technology gets better. I remember people talking my ear off about peak oil and then the US turned into a net-exporter. Short term inelasticity, yes can sky rocket prices; but long term prices go down.

You can make money on things that go down as long as they are not too strongly correlated with other things, and you maintain a constant fraction portfolio. One of the search terms here is "volatility pumping", I believe.
Show HN: Turbo Base64 the fastest base64 now more faster
I've mentioned this a few times on Hacker News, and I've gotten some great turnout, so I'll mention this again: I host a once-a-month party in New York City, mostly tech people, especially during the warmer months. See photos here:

http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/everyone-was-amazing-...

If you live in New York City and you want to expand your circle of tech people (and also some theater people and artists), feel free to reach out to me. Phone number in bio.
Eh, mouse-driven UI was already bad. At least by now the computing universe is bifurcated between consumption-focused touchscreen UI and proper keyboard UI. I haven't hunted through an endless field of tiny icons in ages.
So the medium is the only point of contention? If HN supported image uploads you'd argue it shouldn't exist?
I think you're caught up on exactly the opposite of the complaint here. People aren't requesting JS execution, they have the various "notebook" solutions for that.

People are saying that triple backtick fenced code blocks are used to preserve whitespace and fixed width, usually with syntax highlighting as a bonus. That's the expected behavior.

However with the described mermaid support, it's taking a fenced code block with a mermaid tag and transforming it into a graph.

When inspecting the text content of a markdown file, there's no difference between a `javascript` tagged code block, a `haskell` tagged one, and a `mermaid` tagged one. But now when rendering, the mermaid one is special cased.

This is undesirable for multiple reasons, the most obvious being that it's now harder to write a README that displays mermaid syntax.

A good starting point would be either different syntax or a different tagging convention. For instance I think I saw `!mermaid` suggested, where the `!` would mean that the code should be interpreted instead of rendered as code.

I don't have a horse in the race of what this looks like, only that there should be a distinction between rendered and interpreted code blocks.
I got that reasoning just fine, and had no trouble following it. I was objecting to the flimsy pretense of bringing it up on a case that obviously doesn’t need whistleblowers since it was all done out in the open and advertised, and everyone agrees on all facts-on-the-ground but only ever differed on legal interpretation.

> Even if this particular case didn't go down like that, I still think it's an interesting point that's relevant to the discussion.

There are lots of things I’m sure you and I might find interesting. But HN doesn’t benefit from the practice of “ooh, let me use this topic as a pretense to post something I wanted to share regardless, and without reading the article”.
Would you be willing to file a feature request in https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-live-editor/issues ?

Disclosure: I'm a maintainer for the project and the feature will be a bit tricky, but should be doable.

One issue is that unlike drawio, mermaid doesn't support custom placement of nodes. We could have different style arrow popups, which could render corresponding connections in default locations.

I also feel that this would be a very nice feature to have.

If anyone is interested in implementing, please let us know, and we can discuss ideas.
Yes. In fact, I can't even nap most of the time, and I can easily stay up past my "standard" bedtime, if I'm not careful. I've even moved my run to second-thing-in-the-morning, to see if I became more tired in the evenings, but it doesn't make a difference.
> its marginal utility only decreases when you have enough to retire.

If the only thing you value is retirement and complete freedom indefinitely. Personally I'd much rather have an extra day on my weekend now, and have to work an extra year at the same pace I'm working at now (and enjoy it too) rather than minmax to the point of sacrificing everything for the next 15 years to finally be able to do what I want to do - which is what I have right now.
IANAS but:

You were there up until the end. The gas jets aren’t forming stars near the black hole nor are the stars formed using material from around it.

Instead, they are sending out the equivalent of pilot lights that kick off star formation in another part of the galaxy where clouds of star forming gas were already collecting
I see a lot of complaints from you.

But I should mention that nhibernate is not even in the dotnet foundation and not supported for .net core ( I visited their site and it mentions dotnet framework).

I see this though: https://enterprisecraftsmanship.com/posts/nhibernate-now-sup...

So the issue is mostly nhibernate?
If these people are an 'insurrection' then BLM protests during which 25++ people died, was 'seditions rebellion'. [1]

The 'truckers convoy' is completely within the normal framework or populist protest, this is not new, it's common. Farmers used to bring in their tractors to do this.

The people at the border were moved. The people in Ottawa are concentrated downtown, mostly not near housing, and I believe the honking has ben curtailed.

They are now camping out and dancing to The Macarena.

In Portland, an entire section of the city was taken over by armed bandits threatening violence, not letting Police or emergency services in, two people died, people's rights were very seriously curtailed. Now that was a hard problem to solve.

At this point we just have a bunch of angry people in trucks downtown, that's mostly it.

It will eventually peter out and they will go home ...

> The other two examples are: posting from an iPhone that Apple ought to treat its workers better, and buying a car without seatbelts while saying cars ought to have seatbelts.

This is more akin to posting from an iPhone and saying phones shouldn't exist.
Quarantine procedures were in place during Zika and Ebola outbreaks as well. And those procedures were substantially more harsh. Major metro hospitals had quarantine facilities brought in for Ebola. Patients were shoved into a mobile field hospital for 14 days. Not a single protest happened for that.

The takeaway here is that none of this is new. People are mostly just pissed off that the quarantine procedures now apply to them. It was a-okay when other people were shoved into isolation tanks because, "that's what happens when you go to Africa."
This has nothing to do with apps. It's instead about things like the biometrics or DRM handling code. The stuff that regularly runs on its own dedicated CPU or in specialized sandboxes like ARM's TrustZone. This is about moving that to instead be in a VM on the "primary" CPU, implemented in open source Linux kernel code instead of who-knows-what ARM microcode.

Or to compare against an ecosystem that has more love around here, imagine if everything that Apple runs on the T2 was instead run in a VM with an equivalent level of security. That's the goal.
The usability and discoverability. I use almost exclusively Firefox but I have stopped using the profiles since the UX isn't good enough.
I started using Brave - it's still based on Chromium, but at least it's not really Google.
> "OPV causes more infections than it cures"

OPV2 (specifically 2) cures zero infections because type 2 is extinct in the wild. If causes some infections.

So explain how my sentence isn't true?

A decade ago when type 2 was in the wild, OPV2 was very valuable. Today though it's the greatest obstacle to eradication (and not because people are doing something bad, it's just unfortunate circumstance).
You can find full programming environments that run on phones and i amused myself for some time while waiting for a friend at a coffee shop by writing a simple C program in Vim with Hacker's Keyboard and Termux.

But just because something it is technically possible it doesn't mean it suited for it.
There will always be some opportunistic groups looking to cause more mayhem in chaotic situations like this. These protests have been literally “mostly peaceful” no?
Im not arguing for or against vaccination. Im just pointing out that some Canadians are de facto barred from entry.

The law also doesn't recognize natural immunity which is not that ineffective, is it?
Current prevailing expert opinion is that vaccination reduces the chance of being infected by about 30-40% with Omicron, based on observational and case control studies.

Some studies see no signal of reduced transmission. Other areas see massive effects. It's all confounded because the vaccinated do not behave exactly like the unvaccinated.
I'm a FF fanboy but I have moved to Vivaldi for mobile. Two issues persist for me on FF mobile, even the nightly version:

* Scroll lag/tearing on many websites which doesn't occur with Chromium engine

* Reloading of tabs when I return to them, vs. leaving them as-is until I request a reload. This is abominable behavior.

So I installed Vivaldi and then blocked the domain on my pi-hole to prevent the daily checkins the browser attempts.
am Ottawan, live about 6 blocks from 2 of the main blocked roads (parliament and kent street) noise is not bad for me, headphones block it out completely. Theyve stopped honking for the last 5 days too fwiw.

"hell" is an overstatement for something that can easily be ignored with earplugs/headphones.

construction work is certainly worse when its nearby as. it penetrates buildings better and often produces noise for longer periods of time. Though for people living less then 1 block the first 2 weekend days were probably irritating.
The irony was not lost on me either. but I really did agree with a lot of the piece. :) To his point, again.

You're one of the techno-pessimists. Well, there are two kinds I guess: believing we're stagnating, or believing that tech is actively harmful. Maybe you're both. That's OK, but what are you going to do with that belief? There's nothing TO do but sit moping in a corner. Tech is not going away. We're not going to be hunter gatherers again. The only way is up.
Can you report this issue at https://github.com/ARM9/bass/issues/new? I'm not the best one to forward or rephrase it, having not written MIPS using Bass.
The "spirit of markdown" has long been abandoned by GitHub, more often than not the offline readability of a README is absolutely ignored in exchange for a safe-HTML subset to create kind-of websites below the directory listing of a repository.

Precisely, they wish they had the leverage to enforce revenue splits from alternative payment systems.
> Not the one I would have expected Apple to do

It's 2022 and people still believe the fiction that Apple cares about users...?

They care about one thing: the bottom line. Jobs was best buddy with Larry Ellison for a reason, and it's not admiration for Japanese architecture.
In Chrome I can switch from one profile to another as fast as opening a new tab (i.e. instantly). Can Firefox do that?
Oh, the difference between tech nerds and users. No. Users don't modify their phones (or their computers.) Users don't need Windows or some new phone OS so they can do obscure things only 1 in a 10,000 people care about. Industries don't serve tiny minorities of tech savvy users. Most people just want and need a cheap Mac / iPhone. Too bad that doesn't exist.
Yes. Disrupting supply chains is a thing militaries do. Regardless if they used guns or not. Militaries would love to win all conflicts with as few guns as possible. So if they could blockade a country with no guns at all, that would be ideal.

The point being made is that pulling one's music from Spotify is a personal choice about stuff you control.

Blocking bridges is forcing others who may not even be involved in your conflict to suffer the consequences of it. This is generally considered "a dick move".
Multi Account Containers is also good.
> Of course that does mean we should stop with _both_.

That's absurd. Energy use is not the problem. Burning carbon fuel we dug out of the ground and spewing the carbon into the atmosphere is the problem.

I want a future where no human has to waste time thinking about drying their clothes, because that's a more interesting world.

I want a future of abundant and cheap energy. Why don't you think we can get there?
Godaddy has a monopoly. If you want to sell domain names faster, you have to be there. And because they have a monopoly, they can be clunky. People will use their services anyway.
Sorry to butt in, but this is a fallacy that I see expressed a lot (and shares a lot of similarities to the "computers can execute improperly-typed programs" fallacy), and that has caused a non-trivial amount of harm.

>> If digital, use only plain text. It’s a standard format not owned by any company.

This is fine for anything where you don't care about the computer processing your data (e.g. a journal where you don't care about tagging or sorting by date or whatever), but it sounds like you do (based on "Based off of that structure I can do a bunch of cool things with simple scripts"), so:

"Plain text" is mutually exclusive with machine-parsing, because "plain text" is not a format. If I create a text file for each of my friends, and somewhere in each file is an English-language description of my friend's name, then that is both (a) plain-text and (b) not machine-parseable at all.

A "format" is necessarily structured - something like "each line of this file represents a "row", which is divided into "fields" by commas". But then you don't have a plain-text file - you have CSV, or JSON, or something that's a subset of "plain text file", but is still a structured, machine-parseable format.

Even if you do what I did and create your own ad-hoc format like "text files are broken into "blobs", where each blob is separated from others by a blank line, and has a header consisting of the blob name..." - that's still not plain text. You've still invented your own structured-object-embedded-in-text format - except that because you aren't using JSON or XML or CSV, you're incompatible with every tool in existence, and have to write tools to parse, lint, generate, and process these files yourself.

(and, hence, it's not a "standard format" - each ad-hoc plain-text-embedded format is different, except for the ones that are either accidentally exactly the same, or the ones that are standardized and have names - at which point plain-text purists claim that they're no longer plain-text)

You use Markdown - which means that you have all of the problems above, because Markdown encodes formatting, not structure. You even alluded to it yourself - you say that "...I can do a bunch of cool things with simple scripts" because you had to write those scripts to handle your own custom format, instead of just using JSON and writing data["first-name"] in Python.

It's your system, so you can do what you want - just don't fool yourself (or others) into believing that you're saving effort, because you're not - you're just reinventing a wheel that has been reinvented millions of times before.

(this isn't meant to be a random rant - I'm currently in the middle of rewriting my own system from using my own custom, ad-hoc structured text format to using s-expressions and typed objects. there's hundreds of thousands of objects spanning thousands of files, and the process is absolutely miserable - I want to save as many other people from having to go through this as I can)
They said “militant”. That does not mean “military”, it means “confrontational”.
Required language skills (in several African languages) were mentioned in the article, so that's not implausible.
This is exactly what I need. I'm so bad at keeping in contact with friends, extended family, ex-coworkers. I try to make an effort for a few weeks / months, but I end up getting distracted by a stressful new work project, school, new stuff going on at home, etc.
1. I matters not that it is remotely. Wether remotely or as a local VM, it prooves that your claim that "It’s not suitable because of the modality, window management and state and data management concepts which are all compromises required for high efficiency touch driven mobile devices." is FALSE.

2. A keyboard is a keyboard and a mouse is a mouse. Remotely or inside a VM they behave as you expect the remote/guest to behave.

3. Bullshit, the Macbook Air has the same thermal envelope

4. Horrible or not, it prooves the formfactor is viable and desired by people.

This does not line up. A private company "censoring" is actually exercising its right to free speech. The alternati e is compelled speech. You can't have it both ways.

Bluntly, it was two factors:

1. A network effect of developers - there was too much value in the other two platforms and supporting windows phone was priority #4 (after android, iOS, and the web)

2. Negative brand recognition. Consumers didn’t find carrying a blue screen in their pocket attractive

3. Negative retailer reaction. The phones just weren’t pushed in stores. If you didn’t come in looking for a windows phone, you might not have even been shown it as an option.

> the timing of this seems to point to state sponsored hacking, no?

what does hack timing have to do with the state? I don't follow your logic at all. I would never make that connection. It's just an insecure website and server, anyone can run their testing suite and have gotten the same info. Why rationalize incompetence with state sponsored?

I'm really about to sell some Q branded coffee mugs to everyone with an email address in this leak, so fckin gullible.
Yeah I'm really interested in seeing something like that, for general purpose. I'd love to see what's possible with WASM + WebGPU for stuff like this.
If I were a philosopher I might tell you that the idea that evil is the absence of good, not an entity of its own, was an ancient concept going back to Socrates or Plato or Aristotle. C S Lewis, a friend of Tolkien's, certainly said similar things.
I use it by the same way. FF is the best!
Was there any actual violence? If not then it was peaceful. Merely being armed certainly increases the capacity for violence, but it’s not violence in and of itself.

I’m not familiar with Canadian law on the subject, so I don’t know if possession of the items in question is unlawful or if there was some other cause for the arrests.
Compound and Aave both existed before they had tokens and there was still yield on the platforms. The yield is from borrowers paying interest to the lenders.
No, there aren't.

I live in a place where you can shit on restrictions all you want. Things aren't back to normal because people are still careful on how much they socialize and what the risk profile is. Things aren't back to normal because people have moved away from offices and it turns out a lot of people like that just fine, meaning a lot of old businesses have shut down, new businesses have opened up, and habits have changed.

The old world isn't coming back, ever. The world has changed. Even post-pandemic (which we are still far from over) I'm just gonna be more conscious about spending time in very closed spaces for extended time. The uncompromising are gonna sit a few things out even more. Also something like 0.5% of the population died and a few percentage points have ongoing long-COVID.

Very useful, especially since CBV have terrible ergonomics. They have hidden code path, state and flow everywhere in their thousands methods, MRO to follow, they are verbose and hard to debug (good luck putting a breakpoint in the right place).

I miss generic function views, but you can almost use CBV like them: in your view fuction, do "return YourCBV.as_view(params)" and you are good to go. Much easier than subclassing.

Of course, with FastAPI, we know that there an even better API for that: DI. It's more composable, easier to follow, to test and with less side effects.

django-ninja (https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja/) already offers a lot of that for Django, and I hope it will become a huge success. It is however, currently thinking of using classes somewhere to reuse init view code, so I made a proposal to extend the API design around more flexible approacheshttps://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja/issues/15#issuecomme...

I'm against OOP, I use it myself, but you should use it for what it's good at: multiple operations around a central state, crafting an api with __dunder__ methods, and namespacing related data and operations.
It's probably a courtesy thing that one company or another arranged for you, or some kind of a promotion. I never had this happen to me.

It's generally the case that if you want a prepaid SIM card, you go to pretty much any shop to buy it for a nominal fee (usually just £1, but shops that rip you off may charge up to £5 in some cases). As soon as you buy and activate a top-up voucher, you are good to go. At no point is your identity or a card payment required.
