As an American expat living in a country that doesn't speak English by default... I'd say it's fairly reasonable. Captchas aren't the responsibility of the site owner, the captcha integration docs should explain how to pass the language through to them and should require developers to do so.

Thanks for sharing!

This is such a great example of having your pre-existing belief questioned, noticing user behavior, and adapting accordingly:

> Contrary to popular belief (for B2B SaaS), people actually work from their phones.

> Something like 50% of traffic to OnlineOrNot.com comes from folks on mobile. They tend to quickly create an account, add a few pages to monitor, then eventually get on their laptop/desktop to review their checks from time to time.

> For about 6 months I didn't support mobile well, and folks that signed up on their phone churned rapidly. I eventually took the time to build responsive views for mobile, and now new mobile users are sticking around.

Just curious -- in addition observing their behavior, have you talked to those customers (either via support/email or interviews) to understand this workflow?
The idea of crowdsourcing the occultation data is used by the eVscope telescope, a small (11cm mirror) telescope that replaces the optical viewfinder with a Sony IMX224 sensor.

Despite being expensive, it had successful kickstarter campaigns and via its app you can join campaigns with your telescope and contribute to science. Kinda neat.

The animations are fine but the game fails to load them. As it fails other assets too, for example you might see your main character in a cutscene with her tits out because the clothes didn't load. [1]

> While Safari is used by 9.84% of desktop users, Microsoft Edge is right behind with 9.54% market share. Firefox, which had only 8.1% share in January 2021, has gained new users during the past few months and now has 9.18% of the desktop market share. Unsurprisingly, Google Chrome is still in first place with 65.38% of the share.

So while we can be reasonably confident Chrome is first, whoever is second is a rounding error and depends heavily on the accuracy of the measurements.
I lived in Valais for years without knowing that story but it sure is a good one :-)
This is an interesting idea. I looked into this before when I was traveling internationally, but I ran into issues when trying to set it up with services like Twilio.

1. Many companies send from SHORT code numbers, and not all VOIP providers can accept them.

2. Many companies will look up the number type and only send to cellphone numbers.

3. If you use a SIM modem, some phone companies will check the IMEI and terminate your contract if it's not in a cellphone.
I do research computing support, and bioinformatics has long been thought in my circles the nightmare area to support (perhaps supplanted by machine learning these days).

To pick up some of that, compiler maintainers obviously disagree about the compiler always being right (which one?), and I'm baffled by the requirement for a compiler to support OpenMP (which version) to be considered C, especially if you're dealing with, say, embedded systems for bioinformatics data acquisition, for instance.

I've successfully claimed to support systems I'd never used in high-profile projects (particularly when the architecture and operating system landscape was rather more interesting); I couldn't just tell the structural biology users there was no point supporting their hardware. I currently support a GPU-centric POWER9 system, but I hadn't actually used POWER in the years I'd been building packages for it (and ARM).
The expectations weren't just high, they were completely bonkers.

People were seriously expecting that a console released in 2013 - almost a decade ago - could run a fully realized city with an unique AI for every person in there, with huge crowds you could get lost in.
On the one hand, choosing an arbitrary but good enough target avoids wasting effort on overoptimization and ensures a focus on the worst case, not on the best case; on the other hand improvements are not elastic: maybe rearranging parts and supplies to make them more accessible is enough to make 28 minutes as likely as 30 before, but getting to 26 minutes could require expensive tools and 24 minutes would require different, easier to service aircraft.

It looks like raindrop is a for-profit company which does not publish source code under a free license, or at least i could not find it on the homepage. In comparison, wallabag is fully free software: you can self-host it, or you can have a commercial contract with the maintainers to host it for you. In both cases, you can donate money for development.

The main developer publishes regularly about the finances of the project and the economic sustainability of free-software. The last update was only available in french though: https://nicolas.loeuillet.org/billets/2022/01/03/wallabagit-...

To be fair, wallabag is also mostly maintained by a single person. However, there's a wide community so it's unlikely the software would go unmaintained if a bus accident occurred. I must admit i have no idea about the "hosted" side of things and if the maintainer has a backup plan for someone to take over in case they're not available.
> or prefer to use their dog's name as their password on every site. It really sucks that a great workflow is being punished just because some users are irresponsible.

Actually I'm more in favour of using a "throwaway" password in the sites I care less. Exactly because I don't know if they store this on plaintext or weakly hashed.

Sure, it's still a secret, but it's something that's not hard to remember if needed (or even type on mobile, because if you think I'm generating something like a random string of characters for any website that wants me to login you're mistaken)

Password managers are great but I don't have it (or want it) installed in every device.

It's a word game. Bitch is a perfectly valid 5 letter word.

In order for a word to truly have meaning, it needs to be applied to a discoursal context.

If a word appears in a game, it's just a combination of 5 letters which follow typical spelling patterns.

Actually taking the time to blacklist words is downright pathetic, and is an attitude which is a bit of a cancer on society; being offended by individual words regardless of context, as opposed to taking the time to understand the context/nuance/arguments. The NYT should aim to inform, educate and inspire. Reinforcing such lazy attitudes doesn't achieve this.
> Around thirty years ago I was a kid with a computer. I learned to program quite a few years before I learned English. I also used DOS without understanding English. I knew what to type to do things, but I didn't know what the words meant. I could start programs, I'd play in QBASIC, write small programs and amusements. To me "PRINT" was the word that made text appear on the screen. I learned years later the word meant something in English.

Wow, this is exactly what happened to me (probably between 8 and 10). I had an old 286 computer, where I learnt BASIC by reading programs already available on the computer.

I wrote programs, but had no idea what the keywords meant. I remember reading out loud "IF … THEN … ELSE" that I pronounced "if … ten … elsse", and my father in the room corrected my pronunciation, "it's if … then … else".

I was very surprised, because he didn't know BASIC at all. "How do you know this?"
"It's how we pronounced it in English. It means 'si … alors … sinon'." o_o

It was a revelation to me: the "keywords" I typed in BASIC programs were not just meaningless tokens for the BASIC language, they came from English and had a meaning outside BASIC.
And let's pretend you don't know who will start it.
I'm going to buy the Samsung A33 phone when it's released. I've had the Samsung A5 for several years, and the build quality has been good for the price, and it has retained its battery with daily use. The only issue is that is doesn't receive security updates any more, so I will install Lineage OS on it when I receive the new device.

I've owned a few Android phones and Samsung seem to be the best build quality. Although I believe this went down after the A5, as they stopped releasing IP68/IP67 (dust and waterproof rating) rated midrange phones, until I believe the A33, which will be the next one.

I would never consider buying a flip phone with a single screen, as that just looks like asking for trouble to me.
Honestly I have to agree... for one to be a top performer, attitude needs to be pair with cognitive power as well other factors like health.

I have a friend from school who is smart and in good health. However he always critical and points out problems with services and work. Rather than being positive and building things up, he likes to deconstruct and complain. He is then upset as to why he is not doing well in his career after having lost jobs...hard to change ones attitude. Then I play a sport with someone who is always encouraging of others, tries hard and is uplifting. When he is on your team, he adds an X factor and I think this guy, while young, will go far in life and if he wants to, could become a CEO.

I think what the parent meant is that you're not tied to one exclusive service provider. Wallabag can be (and routinely is) packaged as a service by hosting coops.

So you can have the benefits of having someone else hosting it for you, while not having the downside of having a single service provider whose fate may make you unable to use the product at some point in time.

That's what selfhosting free-software is about.
> macOS has two low-level ways of flushing disk writes: fsync() and the F_FULLFSYNC command in fcntl().

Through the recent spat / flareup (which I expect is what triggered this article), I learned that macOS has an intermediate level called F_BARRIERFSYNC whose purpose is pretty much what it says on the tin.

But of course as the article notes that only goes as far as to send the relevant commands to the hardware, whether the hardware responds appropriately is, from what I gathered (from discussions here and elsewhere) a whole other kettle of fish.
You're shouting at the wrong people. The problem isn't HN users posting their insights to Twitter and then submitting those links. The problem is other people, often some with useful or valuable insights, post to Twitter, and then HN people find that information.

What to do?

We can copy that information to our own site and post a link to that, but the guidelines ask us to post original sources.

We can ignore it,but that means ignoring a possible source of useful and insightful information.

Or we can post a link to the tweet, and rely on HN users to find a way to read it, such has been suggested elsewhere in this discussion.

But telling HN readers to post on their own blog is a bit pointless.
E.g: https://www.samba.tv/
Yes, that's what I'm claiming.

That's of course only a part of the story, the spec or the hardware can still be broken.
> Sometimes it was even part of the contract that we couldn't mention we worked with them. That's fine until you decide to leave, and realize you aren't supposed to include any of your best work in your portfolio!

This is the default in all consulting/contracting/freelancing isn't it? Can't even mention your client, let alone the product you were working on. It's a real battle to get the reference rights in the contract.

In practice you mention in public documents something like "leading movie streaming service", and use the name in private discussions and sales.

Not OP but the KVM-over-IP devices I've seen work on multicast and thus are pretty terrible for network performance unless you have managed switches with packet inspection. They also don't play well with many WiFi access points too.

I've not seen any KVMs that work via unicast for < £100. Whereas you can easily get a HDMI capture device plus VGA to HDMI adapter for < £100.

If you know of any KVMs that don't use multicast then I'd be interested to know because I've been looking to move my CCTV display.

> Tho sometimes it fails to fetch certain websites because of captchas or whatever.

I'm sorry for you. The problem is with the content provider, and i'm just as annoyed/angered as you are by this. I routinely send "complaint" emails to websites to let them know they're actively blocking users, because usually they don't even know that and they assume cloudflare & others are just blocking malicious traffic. The more complaints they receive, the more inclined they'll be to let us through.
Thanks for this. I was a huge fan of super hexagon and enjoyed this too.
I don't mean it's too much money to freeze.

I mean it is too much money to quickly find to put a dent on things, and in most cases it is well-embedded in funds, buildings and and businesses who will be compelled to fight the government for proof.

Even proving that properties in London are owned by oligarchs is difficult.

Sure, there are unexplained wealth order cases in the UK that can be targeted, and a few existing prosecutions maybe, but in most cases this money has gone through some hoops, legitimate and illegitimate, to end up in its final form.

It would take ages; not something you can do quickly enough to stop an invasion because you'd need to show some proof it would have a rapid effect. The speedy thing to do is to block the new flows of cash, the running business and the people.

I was looking for a way to celebrate, so I opened by Bible and counted how many books had 22nd chapters... and there were 22! I geeked out a bit.

So this morning at 2:22:22am I did a tweet thread where I posted the 22nd verse of each chapter 22 and added a sentence or two of commentary.

Edit: Some of those chapters didn't have 22 verses, in which cases I used the 2nd verse.

Singularity: Planet-Scale, Preemptive and Elastic Scheduling of AI Workloads
Tech is so depressing. Our physical world is open and based on good intent. There's bad actors but the cost of being a bad actor is high: it's risky and doesn't scale.

Even if you live in a bad neighborhood, and make your walk to a grocery store, you wouldn't expect 50 people to try and rob you on the way there. When you then see a familiar face in the store, you don't expect this to be an impersonator. And when you pay for your groceries, you don't expect it to be a phishing attack or scam. When you then return home, your home isn't a fortress with military grade security. We live with the assumption that for the most part, we're safe and sound and most interactions are based on the social contract of good intent.

This optimism is the basis for lots of tech, every single part turning to shit.

Email was supposed to be this open, anonymous, non-authenticated and distributed way for anybody to communicate. Now 99.99% of volume is spam, scams, phishing attacks.

DNS assumes genuine usage of whichever name you claim, how naïve we were.

A web server is the ultimate self publication tool, setting us free from centralized media and giving everyone a voice. Now it's under attack in less than a minute after launching and almost impossible to keep secure unless you put it behind military grade protection.

Self publication was supposed to produce the sum of human knowledge, which would then surface in search. Now search surfaces SEO gamers and commercial interests only.

Social networks assume genuine usage of account names, not impersonation.

Social networks were to give a voice to the non-tech savvy and connect the world. Now all attention is seized by the unreasonable ones, the extremists, the grifters.

Crypto has interesting ideas, but is an unusable mine field of scams.

We've sunk so low that now even information itself cannot be trusted anymore, not even from mainstream media.

As somebody whom has experienced a non-tech world (80s) and the optimism and beauty of early tech (90s), it's been very sour to see everything turn into shit. Nothing of the original vision has materialized and rather than improve humanity, it's made it worse in so many ways.

The cost of being a bad actor is just too low and it scales too well. Solving that may be worse than the actual problem.
I believe all modern browsers have buikt-in easy-to-use passwords managers with nukti-device synchronization.
I am French too and I am trying to understand how you pronounced "hour" before (my dog, cat and wife are already looking at me suspiciously).

You pronounced the "h" like in "hot"? (with the "h" making actually a sound?). I am quite surprised because we do not pronounce and "h" when it starts a word (usually at least), and I've been learning English in the 80's with Brian and Jenny (kudos to the ones who had the same manual) and it was not taught that way either.

NATO is defensive pact, not peacekeepers, that's UN (United Nations, blue helmets) job.

Its very easy to make a sweeping statements about what you would do if you could, but how are you going to convince, say Spanish nation to suffer consequence of escalation of conflict for sake of Ukraine a country that was never on mind of Spanish people. That sounds like a political suicide for any Spanish politician.
I think your account is a common one, unfortunately. I’m at the age where many of my peers are in grad school in a variety of disciplines, and while I’m not proud of my disillusionment, it scares me on behalf of them when the conversation reveals that their expectations aren’t matching the reality. I wish they knew what they were getting in to.

This is also why we can’t let science evolve into a religion, for what it’s worth. It can’t be the core of human spirituality: it’s too human of an institution.
Right, for these mosaics the fragments that make up the mosaic are cut by hand, each one is different. What are now called mosaic tiles will give a very different result because they make a square grid, more like pixel art. Although there’s historical precedent here too, for instance in square kufic calligraphy!

It’s not uncommon though to see mosaic floors in pre-war European homes, especially in entrance halls, but they tend to be designs specific to the space. After all, copying an existing design requires the same floor dimensions.

In Sevilla, there’s actually a palace where the owner changed the dimensions of the rooms to fit the roman mosaics (originals) they had installed https://visitasevilla.es/en/museum-fine-arts-and-other-place...

New mosaics are rare because labour is more expensive, but for sure they still get made. EDT I’ve always figured that it’d be something fun to commission for new buildings because, old as the medium is, you still have the basic elements of colour and form that should allow contemporary artists to express themselves.

for example here’s a recent mosaic in England by Grayson Pery https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2015/05/A-House-for-Essex_...

I don't see a reason it should be slow. Are you close to your host on the network? If you're using a hosted version (which i believe is hosted somewhere in Europe), it may just be a connectivity problem.
I really wanted to like it (and I still like bits of it quite a lot) but I just thought narratively it was not very good, and the gameplay was nowhere near as thorough as (say) GTA V.

Keanu also can't act which is a shame.

Visually the game is definitely astonishing, but I could never tell what the game is actually trying to be. If they'd made a very pretty game mulling over (say) the kind of deep sci-fi you get in something like blade runner 2049, then I'd probably still be playing to this day, whereas what they actually ended up with felt a bit incidental.

It's kind of unfair, so I don't hold it too much against the game, but even though the visuals are very good, the overall world doesn't feel as real as it could do IMO. The obvious comparison is with GTA V (which is why I say it's slightly unfair because GTA V is based on LA in ~2013), which just feels so much more real to me. The radio stations are a good example, they're such heavy handed satire, but that satire lets your brain fill in the detail about Los Santos whereas in Night City I was mostly being shown things that would never happen again or being made to pick choices that would have no effect etc.
