I strongly agree. If I had OPs experience I would have felt manipulated and would not have referred the person.

In the end I think the interpretation of the experience depends on the world view and the view of people.

I don't like people in general. I think (most) people are manipulative, egocentric and in only for themselves. To most people I met I was a means to an end.

So I stop. I try (often failing) to not be - and as far as possible not make myself - a mean to someone's end.

But with different life experiences I could imagine seeing people differently and assuming positive intend. This would ensure a different interpretation of such encounters.

I spent some years working in DTP for very big companies when I was still a teenager (this actually drove me to understand SGML, then HTML and I eventually became a programmer, now software architect) and PageMaker was one of the tools I used the most, together with Interleaf, FrameMaker, Ventura, etc.

Much of it was "let's see how can we make this English manual fit when translated to German using the same layout". Oh, boy, I'm so glad much of this is now irrelevant since much technical books are online.

Still, it was interesting.
It’s not that crazy of an idea especially in winter when SAD is worst and any extra power you waste in your house heats it so it isn’t really wasted.

One of my favorite places on earth is my marijuana grow and the incredible amount of beautiful light they grow under. I’ve contemplated a scaled down version in my house. I could grow plants all over the place under the lighting like being outside, no matter what the season.
Everyone knows the term paradigm shift, but this book is still worth reading for the depth and thoughtfulness in exploring it and its implications.

> the whole point of licenses is having them work as intended. We don't run the free software ecosystem on goodwill

But we do run the legal system at least partly good will, and licenses only matter in the context of the legal system. Obviously a less ambiguous better worded license is better, but I don't think it's necessarily that big a deal.

> the code itself can only affect potential users since it has no idea of what actual users may or may not eventually exist.

I don't think the law cares about this though. The law can know perfectly well after the fact that I personally did or didn't have any users. That I did or did not offer source code to all 0 users of my non-existent copy I'm not hosting. I don't really see why the copyright license can't make conditions based on real-world usage and hosting; very few laws are pure functions that take only source code as input, almost all of them reference reality.

I guess you'd argue that I'm opening myself up to liability by forking, say, mastodon and modifying it because now someone could host my fork, and that someone (who isn't offering a correct source code link) would be causing me to violate the license...
But that seems like the sort of reasoning that wouldn't last a heartbeat in court. The person running my copy of the code should have modified it further to have the correct link, they are the ones that failed to comply with the copyright license terms for the version they run.

By analogy, in copyright law, fair use allows "violating" copyright in some cases, such as to copy a page of a book for teaching material. Your argument reads to me like saying "But the teacher copied a page of the book, gave it to his students for class, and then one of the students sold that page without permission from the copyright holder! Aha, the teacher has violated copyright". Which no court would ever hold to be true, even if a very literal reading of the law may be more murky.

The biggest issue of Climate Change is that it doesn’t really mean anything. We need to be precise if we want action done. Our worst enemy is lack of information and the mistakes done when selling Global Warming, think Al Gore in the 1990s. Let’s not be fooled to think CO2 is such a magical evil molecule, we need to tackle much bigger problems than a chemical that earth is naturally trained to tackle.

React has hooks because React's "classes" were pretty crappy…partially due to crappy OOP in general in previous eras of ECMAScript. But instead of actually making their syntactical sugar better as JS' native OOP paradigm improved, they went the opposite direction. After having to use them in a large React codebase for years now, I still can't stand them.

For a look at a UI library that actually rocks precisely because it embraces OOP and the native object graph of the DOM, check out Lit. It takes everything that's awesome about browser-native web components, then simply adds some fabulous DX on top for reactive re-rendering upon prop updates. I've never used a UI library in my life that's meshed with my brain better than Lit. I'll take a good Lit-based web component class any day over React.

There isn’t actually a whole lot of “this” in this —- from an API surface viewpoint, most UI frameworks (React included) are fairly minimal sets of abstractions. The benefit is more along the software development axis of homogenization than anything else.
Power waste is not an issue even in summer. Power production is driven by demand. Turn on more lights, and electricity companies will produce more electricity, and eventually they will make it cheap. Turn off the lights, and they'll do nothing because there's no demand.

That was my pitch for nuclear power.
Electricity resources aren't limited; electricity gets cheaper when you install more solar panels, not more expensive. That will continue to be the case for the next three orders of magnitude of marketed energy consumption growth.
If someone cannot code an algorithm they certainly don’t understand it.

Interesting to see someone else working on the problem of bright indoor lighting. I've been searching for a good solution to the "indoor light not bright enough" problem for some time, and here's some stuff I've tried:

-IKEA NOT ($10 floor lamp) lights with a bunch of light bulb splitters and at least two giant high-CRI twister CFL bulbs for photo studios from Amazon. These are truly massive and look like a normal CFL light bulb, but are about a foot long. Two of them consume 130W at the wall, and put out a rather large amount of light. Managed to get about 1000 lux at the desk this way. Unfortunately you can only get them in 5000K and 6500K. The daylight color may bother some people at night. Furthermore, they are undimmable.

-Track lighting with six IKEA TRADFRI tunable white bulbs on it, in an L shape following my desk. IKEA bulbs supposedly reach 90 CRI, and these can be color tuned (arbitrarily if you use the hub and the HomeKit app, not just 3 levels) and dimmed. At 1000lm, they are the brightest tunable white bulbs on the market commonly imo (most are 800). The range of color tuning is rather low, 2700-4000K. This is because the bulb never turns off the warm channel I think. Furthermore, at 4000K, the light is slightly greenish.

Some notes:

-I definitely find dimmable and/or color tunable bulbs to be useful, because at night, extremely bright or white light isn't extremely helpful for sleep.

-I found that high room brightness might make it difficult to see a computer screen that isn't turned up all the way.

-I found that if the lights were mounted overhead-ish, and were really individually bright, they would cause annoying glare under some circumstances

Some more hardware developmenty stuff I looked into:

-LED strips. High CRI tunable white LED strips are available on AliExpress, along with the LED channels to run them. Actually getting a constant current supply and appropriate power rigged up is an exercise left for the reader. Unfortunately, LED strips use resistors for constant current, so waste a little bit of power there.

-Building a custom LED plate for the Tradfri lights that used Lumileds chips capable of 95 CRI. I built and tested one, and still have the files if someone should want to try. It doesn't expand the tuning range much at all.

-Designing my own LED bulbs. This is a project in progress. I found some LED chips on DigiKey from Bridgelux (V6 Thrive array) and some giant BR40 bulbs at a local store for 3 bucks each that still have a massive heat sink on them to modify. The heat sink gets up to 60C with 18W input to the LEDs at 25C ambient. The LED chips are capable of outputting 98 CRI and come much closer to approximating sunlight than anything else I've found by wavelength/spectrum.

Hopefully someone finds something here useful.

> The open data would tell an incomplete picture. It would still be an interesting to see what you can pull out, but you'd be guessing why a lot of the time.

The current implementation is like the DMCA. Anything can be censored for any reason without input from HN moderators. If the submitter is aware of the process, they can appeal to HN moderators. If HN readers saw the submission before it was flagged, they can also appeal to HN moderators.

If there were organized efforts to censor specific topics, one mitigation could be to deny the benefits of censorship. This could be done from public data by extracting a queue of flagged submissions and feeding them into another level of non-public analysis, automated + human. The surviving stories could then be posted to a dedicated site, e.g. using https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters.

If there were organized efforts to censor specific topics, a secondary public log of valid-but-censored articles could trigger the Streisand effect. Not only could this deny the benefit of censorship, it could cause censorship to have the opposite effect, reducing demand for organized flagging. This would have no impact on organic, non-coordinated flagging.
This is pitched as (1) a treatment for SAD and (2) something people would like.

And that's great, but I want to consider something else -- one of the best theories of civilization-caused myopia is that it's caused by insufficient exposure to sunlight. And the table in the post is certainly circumstantial evidence supporting that theory:

> Direct sunlight shines 100k lux

> Full daylight (indirect) is more than 10k lux

> Indoor office lighting is typically 500

That's a big difference. What if illuminating the indoors at 10,000 lux prevented people from developing myopia?
I think the thing is probably that, for extroverts, socializing is demanding too, but it's also rewarding. Mentally, they get more back out of it than they put into it.

>It doesn't "seem unthinkable" because they've been literally saying that for half a century.

I was trying for understatement.

>That doesn't mean they want to work with the second coming of Christian nationalism

No...I suppose not. But if they don't, why be neutral? What if they take the "Christian nationalism" as superficial? What if "want" is immaterial to a reality of working with the existing situation?

>Anyone who's worked in diplomacy in the global South knows it's hard enough for them to work with each other.

You sound knowledgeable. I didn't know that China was part of the global South.

Are you scoffing at the idea that China would work with Russia, or just reacting to the mention of India?

Specifically, is it completely absurd to you to suspect that the fruits of the OPM breach were sent by China to Moscow?

A false positive is a user flag that was reversed on appeal, after manual review by HN human moderators.

In a study, a list of false positive flags could be derived from public data.

In a study, additional false positive candidates could be identified after manual review.

I disagree. Electrical vehicles require a larger chip area, typically chip quality is determined by degree of successful ion impregnation into the substrate. This is why die location can determine higher potential chip performance.

Suburban sprawl is the law. These subdivisions off the side of the highway full of large lot single family homes aren’t even what developers think people want. They are prescribed by the building and planning codes of nearly every jurisdiction. Developers do sometimes build new places in the urban style but every element of that is a hard-fought battle against the government for variances, zoning changes, special permits, etc.

The New Urbanists have an interesting approach to this: “open source” planning codes that prescribe urbanism rather than sprawl, which they try to convince municipalities to adopt as their default. They don’t seem to have much uptake though. The postwar sprawl style is what was popular when the regulatory regimes as we know them today came to be, and there’s a lot of inertia behind that, whether or not people actually like it.

Sadly there is no sources of the kind to my knowledge.

Unfortunately all sources are overloaded with extreme simplification where Ukraine is angel and Russia is evil. It's tempting to believe in, although it's very far from truth.

Perhaps the only way to understand reasons and way of thinking each side has - listen to what Russia is saying over course of years, read about atrocities ukrainian army and nazi-style battalions did in eastern Ukraine for last 8 years. Read about nazi-style military camps growing in Ukraine last years.

All those things are rarely getting light in media. Putting a crying girl and "fuck you Putin" sells much better than in depth analysis or understanding why Putin did what he did. Hopefully I am wrong, but this kind of ignorance can lead to much much bigger troubles than current ones.

Try to read more of what both sides are saying, but be aware that ukrainian media is propaganda at it's best (would be better to put worst) so whatever they say should be taken with huge grin of salt.

DIY Perks [1] has a good tutorial on how to make a super bright LED panel from LED strips. Quite easily, actually.

Been using one of those in my office for the last eight years or so. I use a server PSU for power.

I was surprised to see how bright it is when I once went outside while it was on. Not only was my window the brightest in the entire street by far. But it actually illuminated the trees around my window.

If I was to build it again - and especially for a place like living room - , I would build it so as to also simulate sunset. That is to say, that it will automatically lower the brightness and shift to a warmer spectrum in the evening. Otherwise, this thing messes with your biorhythm and gets you out of sync with normal daylight hours very quickly.

The nice thing about FIDO is that I can use the same USB key for a bunch of different websites. I have a single key on my keyring, and I use it for Github, for my brokerage, for Gmail, for my work, etc.

And the reason I can do that is because my work cares that I use a FIPS compliant key, but nobody else does—because consumer RPs don’t do this.

Have you encountered any consumer RP enforcing attestation? Or is this concern of yours totally speculative?

I don’t know what this Bank of America card you refer to is, but presumably it was phishable auth, since it had an LCD key? Without a standard supported by user-agents, I don’t know how someone would enforce an out-of-band/unphishable auth mechanism like FIDO+Webauthn on their own, but I’m curious to hear you explain it!
No matter who does it, it's absolutely filthy to motivate people to work based on promises of retirement benefits and then try to take those away after the work has been done. It's astounding that such a thing could be legal.

One silver lining of the shift from defined benefits to defined contributions. At least you're putting in your own money and can expect it to be there when you retire.
This article from November discusses Russian logistics capabilities in the event of an invasion of the Baltics or Poland. Their logistics capabilites in Ukraine don't seem to be much better, as indicated by reports of Russian columns stopping due to a lack of fuel.

To summarize the article: Russian first echelon forces carry enough supplies for ~90 miles of fighting, after which they'll need to pause to regroup and resupply. Therefore, they plan to acomplish most objectives in that space, or at least ensure conditions are right to resume the advance afterwards.

The Russian attack in Ukraine seems to have stalled at about the 90 mile mark, and the attempted capture of Kyiv on the first day by airborne troops was possibly an effort to acomplish an objective before a logistics pause was needed. Now that it _has_ been a couple of days of resupply though, the Russian advance is likely to resume.
