Microsoft has Edge, which is a browser. If your argument is that it's Chromium based and this not their own browser, there are several other companies like Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave who's sole product is a Chromium based browser. I don't think it would be appropriate to say that those companies "don't have a browser".

Like the other reply points out, it's fairly standard community practice to link previous discussions for those who might be interested in checking them out. dang (the public moderator) has automated up his postings of past links so they show titles and dates but that's work and I wasn't going to do it by hand for this chonklist. The good news is, eventually, the tectonic plate of HN development will reach 'make the fancier formatting automatic for everyone':

These comments make me feel like I'm getting old, which is weird to me. There are so many proactive comments that remind me of my 18 year old self.

Social awkwardness, for me and for a lot of people I know, sort of just vanished with age.
- The same kind of weird, unexplainable, vicious attitude that passes for cool among teenagers and some early adults fades for most people. The people who still adhere to that code go off and form their own cliques and you just don't see them anymore.
- Real adulthood is simpler socially. With personal stability (job, hobbies, network, etc.) and age you care less and less what people think and put less emphasis on what people think about you.
- At the same time, you judge people less and less because, what does your judgment really matter? And when you judge people less you judge yourself less.
- A lot of awkwardness is a function of trying hard to fit a social shape and failing. When you let go of most social expectations of yourself and others, in my experience mostly because of age and stability, you lose the awkwardness.

If you really need help with social anxiety I have heard that there are psychologists who are good at treating it, although I have never used one myself.

Take some comfort in knowing that it will probably pass with time.
This was my first thought too, though not the only part of the puzzle for me. There was actually a study put out by MAPS recently where they found that MDMA can be effective in treating social anxiety for people on the autism spectrum.

Oh so you’re religious then?

What’s with the “marketing” thing? Can that be taken as hateful or not?
tiktok seems to intuitively know what I want and what I’m going to do. it somehow knows when I want to share something - probably inferred from viewing behavior.
Isn't that almost like all browsers including a language with the browser?
Decriminalized, probably. But I really don’t want to live in a world where heroin is advertised and marketed without restriction. At least not until we figure out how to make humans less fucking stupid when it comes to things that can addict us for life.

I mean, can you imagine if McDonalds marketing budget was spent pushing meth instead?
Happy weekend!

My family has had so much fun sharing Wordle scores together. We are a competitive group when it comes to games and trivia.

So, a few weekends ago I made a fun app where we could challenge each other with a different word each day.

The app is built on trusty ol’ Ruby on Rails, uses Twilio for authentication and notifications, and deployed on Heroku (still the GOAT for weekend projects).

You are welcome to join and even play our/my words (my profile is here wordgame.wtf/innonate) but really it’s most fun just to assemble your own crew (family/friends) and get to challenging each other!
Never say never.

Thoughts like that are like pain. They are wonderful signals that something is wrong. Something needs to change. That doesn't mean we should seek out pain, just that it's a signal we should pay attention to.

And ignoring pain or "negative thoughts" is likely quite harmful behavior. You'll train yourself not to notice valuable signals when they happen.
I think you got that twisted. Everybody has the idea that their religion is the only correct one, but not all religions have the same god. So if they’re not praying to the same god, how can they tell that god to listen to them but not the others?
I mean, that’s how it’s taught in a majority of evangelical churches, which is what I gather you mean. St. Augustine was pretty clear that it wasn’t a literal seven days, and Pope Pius XII in Humani generis accepted that human evolution was a thing. So, granting the numerical superiority of the Catholic tradition, not a majority of churches.
And you think He listens?
imagine if this guy became a trader. He would crush it, like james simmons. i wish there was more research into mathamatical finance, but if anyone had something good they would use it to make money, not publish it.
Can Rust replace C or C++ yet, atleast for green field projects? Never liked either in school but always felt bad never getting into low level code after my systems classes. Hoping I could just learn Rust one day instead.
Epic has wanted to do this for a long time. If you have enough clout like Fortnite had, you can do it. You also have GOG, Steam and other game stores on PC. They might also push “mobile carriers should be able to install whatever they want”-legislation that adds extra app stores.

Yea there’s gullible religious people, just like there’s gullible non-religious people. If you’ve actually read scripture these types of churches are called out. No where in the bible does it say you must pay to be heard.
If you want to get all definitional, an AU isnt the distance between the sun and earth. It is 1/2 the diameter of the earth's orbit. It is from one theoretical point to another and doesnt take the radius of either the sun or the earth into account. The real "distance between the sun and the earth" is 1AU minus the radii of the earth and sun. And comming up with a size/radius for the sun is itself a huge discussion.

I find it hard to believe that this has to do with the superiority of TikTok's ranking algorithm, and everything to do with the fact that its more popular with younger people.
It also seems very easy to take recommendation into your own hands on TikTok with long press -> “not interested”, which is very accessible. Once I started to get quite a bit of political / cultural war crap in my feed; I “not interested” a few of them, the feed improved markedly almost immediately. With YouTube I guess you can sort of influence your recommendations by digging into your watch history and deleting a bunch of stuff, but it’s tedious and ineffective. “Not interested” on YouTube front page seems useless, I still get pushed the same repetitive stuff, maybe from another set of channels.
YT seems to have made some change to dump regular trending stuff into recommendations.

I really miss the option to tell it that I just really don’t want to see sports.
That 1998 article is the first I'd seen claiming that the 1997 deal was a repayment, versus a purchase of non-voting shares as described at the time and announced by Jobs and Gates at Macworld. https://www.wired.com/1997/08/apple-takes-150-million-from-m... The register article quotes a note saying there was a significant MS payment for QT specifically, but doesn't actually claim that the 1997 investment wasn't an investment, as far as I can tell.

Saving, of course, was always an exaggeration, as reported in that Wired article from the time too: "For Apple, the cash is symbolic. While the company has been bleeding money, it has about $1.2 billion in cash, according to its last quarterly earnings report, and doesn't need Microsoft's money to fend off immediate starvation." Recommitting to Office was a much bigger thing than the cash, probably,
I'd be more interested if there was VSCode support. The JetBrains folks response was ridiculous and dismissive:
https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/official-support-for-visual...

Apparently they refuse to support the most popular web IDE because Kotlin for JS is really about selling IDEA licenses. Fair enough, but it means I don't suggest Kotlin for anything except as a Java alternative and Android.

There's better options from companies that are less adversarial to their community.

I had the idea that the IMPI-code-emitting backend was entirely responsible for isolation between tasks, and that it was quite small and simple. It sounds like neither of those is correct?

The core molecule is amphetamine. Everything else is a binder that determines how long and how many passes it takes for your system. Adderall and methamphetamine only differ by a methyl group which makes it break down slower.
Yeah. I’ve tried to get into Kotlin multiple times and the tools used for building like Gradle are inscrutable to me.
You make some good points, but in my linked comment, and in the comment linked to that comment, I do carve out an exception that game publishers will likely be ones who want to pursue having their own third party app stores. That is because as seen in the PC gaming world, such companies can ruthlessly force gamers to join their locked down stores. But I think this is a specific niche that allows for that because games are a medium that’s developed into this sort of unique landscape.

Also, I’m uncertain if many of these companies really have that many iOS game exclusives to incentivize this sort of lock in- Epic being a major exception. But most other publishers don’t exactly have big iOS libraries. Most of their apps are more like incidental tie-in material accompanying their actual PC and console titles.
If you have any interest in NES or video game history, and you haven't read "Super Mario" by Jeff Ryan, get it. I first read it about 10 years ago, but it was one of the most interesting books I'd read and should be evergreen. I also bought the audiobook, which is phenomenal. Read by the great Ray Porter, and DRM free on Downpour: https://www.downpour.com/super-mario

More data beats better algorithms, and Tiktok gets a lot of signals about what you might like based on how long you watch, how many times you watch, what you like, what you comment on, if you go to the profile page of a video you just watched, if you share, etc. Multiply that by all the videos you can see in a single hour, and Tiktok learns more about you than YouTube has in the past 5 years of use.
You’re basically describing the old Java plugin paradigm.
I found Rampage more fun as a concept than SMB, but it doesn’t have the replay value or progression that you really want in a home video game, where SMB does.

I could never get into Excitebike. Controls always felt so awkward.
Instead of telling people to make dishonest comparisons to unrelated bureaucracies, I’d recommend that they instead find someone who has actually used Original Medicare[0] (not Medicaid, which is a different thing) if they want to know what it is like to use Original Medicare. The amount of bureaucracy on the patient side is basically zero.

My personal experience with Original Medicare + Medigap has essentially been this:

Step 1. Need some health service.
Step 2. Go get the health service.
Step 3. There is no step 3, unless the provider fucks up and tries to bill the Medigap insurer as the primary insurer—which is a problem caused by the existence of private primary insurers, not Medicare.

And with private insurers, this:

Step 1. Need some health service.
Step 2. Check if the provider is in-network.
Step 3. Check if the facility is in-network.
Step 4. Check if the service is covered by the insurance.
Step 5. Submit a prior authorisation or else the insurer won’t pay anything at all.
Step 6. Get denied for some asinine technicality.
Step 7. Appeal and submit more documentation until they finally capitulate. (Also, you’re doing this while very sick.)
Step 8. Triple-check with the facility that they are only going to use in-network doctors for things like anaesthesiology.
Step 9. Go get the health service.
Step 10. Get a half-dozen gigantic bills in the mail.

There are certainly issues with Medicare, but I can’t think of any that aren’t the result of for-profit insurers or government abolitionists doing everything in their power to make the system intentionally terrible.

[0] As mentioned in the article, Original Medicare is parts A & B. Part C—Medicare “Advantage”—is the government hand-out to private insurers.
In France we had a different color system (SÉCAM), while the other european countries were in PAL, but French TV were required to have a Péritel/SCART entry by law, offering RGB input. So the french NES was basically the european PAL version with an extra PAL to RGB converter.
Honestly, I enjoy HN more than TikTok.
Maybe they mean the cost of production if the motor?

A copy-editing blunder, though.
"If [...] you decide you want to self host git over ssh or something, you lose the history of all your issues and conversations."

Github has a nice, documented API to export issues, including issue history. Many open source tools, including Gitlab, are happy to import that list into their own database:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/github.html

Granted, this has a problem if Github suddenly, without any warning, decides to turn off that API. Or if it goes down and loses data permanently. I find both of those scenarios pretty unlikely, but it you are worried about them, it should be pretty straightforward to have some sort of export script in cronjob, to keep a local copy of issue database.
Those interested in this should check out Pyodide[0]. It basically "just works" so long as the libraries you import are pure Python or are part of the core scientific stack (the Pyodide authors have done the work to manually port all the C code behind numpy, scipy, etc.).

What I really wish for is for ~all Python packages to work in the browser without manual porting of the underlying C/Rust/etc. being needed, since a lot of the interesting and useful libraries aren't pure Python, and manual porting is non-trivial.

I'm not sure what the best route to that future is, but I'm guessing it'd probably help if Python had a wasm runtime in its standard library[1], since then authors of libraries that use C/Rust/etc. might make cross-platform builds (perhaps by default).

Regarding this Pycon speech, it seems that it's related to the following entry in the 3.11 changelog[2], which the speaker was heavily involved with:

> CPython now has experimental support for cross compiling to WebAssembly platform wasm32-emscripten. The effort is inspired by previous work like Pyodide. (Contributed by Christian Heimes and Ethan Smith in bpo-40280[3])

But maybe Christian has more to reveal here? In any case, I'm hugely appreciative of all the work that is being done to bring Python to the browser!

Never the less, if someone that works in AI gets impressed by an AI I will take it seriously. I don't use TikTok but the recommendation engine must be outstanding. I think I'll stay away. I don't want to lose any more time to online apps.
Ironically (or not) I was lectured by a Catholic. So, regardless of how the Saints and Popes tell it, if it goes against the local priest's beliefs, it's not going to be reflected in the church.

The evidence is plentiful too: look at how the individual churches have taken Pope Benedict's tolerance of previously taboo individuals (homosexuals, for example). Something else I get to hear about at holiday parties.

Ask HN: Why isn't Microsoft good with design consistency?
With every major release of Windows, MS seems to just add a new UI design language to the previous ones, making Windows ever more cluttered and inconsistent.

With Win11, there was room for MS to finally get rid of legacy designs that have plagued Windows for over 2 decades!! But unfortunately, Win11 is just a new skin on top of a pile of inconsistent design languages from before. Sure, there are improvements to the desktop and the settings app, but anything more serious and you're faced with windows dating back to Windows 95/98.

This doesn't seem like a problem that MS would be unaware of. But as much as I'd like to justify their actions by assuming that they still follow their backward compatibility philosophy, they have long crossed the line. Win11 design looks like a slap in the face of the customer. At the same time, MS could easily afford to hire better designers (which I think is not the main problem) or invest in consistent design across their Windows products, and yet they're not doing that.

I'm happy that many are now switching to Linux just because the alternative (Win11) sucks so much. But frankly, I wish MS would fix this decades-old mess asap.
Depression is hard. Much harder on the side of people having it, but being a manager and knowing people with that illness is also not easy.

My company (Europe branch of big US corpo) was actually pretty good with handling that. They offered paid leave for one guy who wanted a intense therapy/camp. Unfortunately covid came and ended the program. The guy eventually left not long after.

I noticed very similar behaviors between the two people with depression I had in my team even though they were completely different otherwise. I still meet them occasionally for a beer and I really like them on personal level but they weren't good employees even though I did everything I could (I think?) to make their working conditions... good? (sorry couldn't find better English word). Flexible working hours, decision if they want smaller or bigger tasks, regular meetings, etc.
I don’t see the other giants being sufficiently motivated to, nor having the ability to execute, lasting competitive 3rd party app stores. Maybe if it was a decade ago. It not that they don’t have the resources or technical capabilities to it, but I don’t think they have the product ability to excel on the platform of a competitor, in this case Apple. And consumers are just sick of having to manage more accounts. They’re not going to have the patience to let iOS fragmemt like the streaming space has.

When I lived in San Francisco, I worked freelance for a number of years and had no health insurance. It was too expensive.

Over time, I started having sever pains that shot through my abdomen and groin. I could barely walk. I had tried to go to the SF General hospital, but it took about a month to be seen by a general practitioner. I finally did get seen and they thought it could be a hernia, but were unsure. They scheduled more tests, which was about a 6 month wait. (I should note that SF General gets a lot of unusual people and the staff gets slowed down from dealing with the more difficult patients.)

Desperate, I found a small hospital clinic and asked them to see me. I told them I had to pay out of pocket. Oddly, the doctor who saw me gave me a huge discount. He diagnosed that I had sciatica from bad ergonomics. Sure enough, changing how I sat improved my pain! I was lucky. Very lucky.

Now, my sister is currently struggling with a serious issue, and as a Medicare patient (being under the poverty level), she wasn't able to be seen for months, and even now they are unable to diagnose properly due to delays in getting her referrals or tests (CT scans, etc).

I can't stress enough how uneven and cruel the US healthcare system is. I feel the only way to survive long-term is to have a career that enables access to jobs (or unions) that offer health care as a benefit. Without it, paying for family-level premiums is similar to a mortgage.
