A reader mode's job isn't to be 'complete' in some sense. You have addons to do anything you want to pages, or you can just run your own js on any given page.

Reader mode is a reasonable low-overhead script-stripper that mostly does its job. My expectations aren't high, but it always delivers.
This feels like it’s related to abstraction but not exactly the same thing. Can’t really put my finger on it.

The suspension of Meta's data center had very little to do with the fact that it was for Facebook. The main reason is that NL has several of those data centers already and has become aware that they need huge amounts of energy and give very few jobs for it in return.
Especially the current time of energy shortage has made those data centers unpopular.
The fact that they can use the delay of the satellite signal to predict rainfall, is pretty impressive. It immediately links this app to more data for weather prediction, which might lead to better weather predictions.

I wonder how they would measure that on an android phone. Does android expose such low-level delays to the user? Is this not handled by a GNSS chip in hardware, or the OS driver/kernel?
That sounds like torture

I wonder if there is a similar way to fix the accessibility issues of glassmorphism (same ones as described in the article with respect to neumorphism).
yes - I very often absentmindedly open Clash out of habit even if I wasn't intending to play it.
If you read the license carefully you'll notice it's much more permissive than AGPL, and allows you as an end user (as long as you're not developing a database) to do with it whatever you want.
It may be limited to intermediate files, I assumed that the downside would be bigger since it is not a default and the description mentioned that some things may not be merged as well.
It depends on the server performance. The demo instance, currently running 130 applications/services/databases, and I see no performance degradation. It is only a simple VPS from Hetzner.

When the Remote Docker Engine and K8s support come out, performance won't be a problem, that's sure.
I’d like to see the option to setup something like a pre-authorised payment. Ideally the same as doing an EFT/Osko/NPP transfer, but the funds are held in a escrow like situation by the bank for a period of time the bank deems “safe”.

Giving the account owners enough time to contact the bank if the payment is unauthorised, but when the waiting period is up you can then choose to release the funds at a time that suits you (eg. for a car sale, when you hand over the keys) or you can choose to can the transaction returning the funds to your account.

Wishful thinking I know, given how much of a mess the instant payment system is at the moment. I had an account that supported PayID with Macquarie and tried to transfer money to another PayID account with Up bank and found that because one of the banks (Macquarie iirc) didn’t support whatever underlying payment system Up used (Osko possibly) I wasn’t able to use PayID and had to use regular EFT instead.

You can have a bank account and use cash.

As mentionned in the article, some people use cash because they struggle with budgetting. They may get a specified amount of money from the ATM each week in their wallet and get an immediate visual clue of where they at in any moment. Using cash actually make you see the money going out. It is much more tangible than just numbers to a lot of us.

We could probably think of other options, like having rechargeable money card with some kind of visual bar indicator showing the amount of money left but that is not there yet.

Also as much as I like using my cards and phones for payments, they are really bad for privacy. All you payments get stored in a database waiting to be dumped, stolen and leaked. And it is not a matter of if but rather of when.
It's funny to me because this could apply to the Texas sodomy laws that existed as recently as 19 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_v._Texas

If you look at the facebook newsfeed algorithm—a technology widely regarded as evil—then it can be considered a form of automated AI-based blocking. While the mechanism to create an echo chamber of only things you agree with is different, it achieves that same end result.

I think everyone should have the right to block whomever they want, and utilize whatever tools that make it easy for them to do so. However, just like with a gun, you can easily shoot yourself in the foot with this. Twitter here would be like the gun manufacturer, except instead of guns, they are making user features that make it easy for people to shoot themselves in the foot.

If I were the one making the tool, I would feel morally responsible for providing such an evil tool. Because at the end of the day Twitter is like Youtube which is like TikTok which is like Fox News. They show their respective users exactly what they want to see and it increases their bottom line, even if there are negative long term repercussions to society or to the users.

My goal would be to carefully design a product that engages people with their peers, even when it's unpleasant, while moderating away true harassment in a separate fashion.

While easier said than done, I do not believe the tools designed to remove spam or harassment should be the same tools to silence dissenting voices. My main contention is not that people should not be able to block spammers and harassment, but that such an easy and indiscriminate application of some tool like this has long term negative repercussions for society, as well as one person's mental health and development.

Hacker News used to have downvotes for posts. They removed that after some discussions around it here, and I applaud that. I think having a flagging feature to indicate spam and up-vote only is a good implementation. Unpopular ideas at best disappear (to be resubmitted again), but they cannot be actively buried like they used to be.

How do you think cults, or regimes like North Korea, work? They block out outside influences.
That last point - '> "shoppers still struggle to find..."' - is only ~75% Google bullshit. I semi-regularly use search engines (usually not Google) to find products on e-commerce sites with wretched built-in search. Or where the built-in search only works if I allow javascript from a dozen or more creep-looking domains to execute.

There are two main hurdles in consulting:

1. Sales time is free. Even with established clients they are likely to work project by project and expect detailed quotes/estimates and initial discussions that take a lot of time, then there's billing and general business handling..

2. There is a forever war between large generalist consultants and niche consultants. Working ~alone you will probably have to be an expert in a niche and there is always business pressure to use a large consultant for everything even if their work is sub-par. (Accounts payable, etc, don't care about quality of consultants but about number of tasks.)

Planning for these factors is important, and combined with having no one to bill for more general maintenance hours and attempts of various orgs to get their "standard discount" for volume, being a startup, or being an NGO it is important to make sure you ask for a high enough rate. With contracting, seeking 1.5-2x is a minimum in most tax systems, with consulting at least 3x your intended income from an equivalent full time job.

You're welcome. I am rather fond of Cordwainer Smith's science fiction writings. (I've been idly curious about his other works, but never pursed that path.)

I almost never seen a normal product that advertises their retailers margin on it, and/or advertises an alternative cheaper store. Can you imagine walking into a drug store to buy OTC meds and the bottle has a "buy this 30% off online at xyz.com" sticker? No retailer would want that.

I occasionally see MSRP price printed on packaging, which is sometimes mis-matched with the store I'm at - its usually convenience stores and other similar places that add extra markup for high-demand items (and usually you know what to expect).

Naturally this news has gotten a lot of coverage in the Netherlands. One of the reasons mentioned for the amount of pushback is the "bullying" attitude of Meta in the negotiations and the aggressiveness of its lobbying. (See e.g. https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/03/30/de-laatste-boerin-vertr...)

This may point to a culture clash, a misreading of Dutch values. Dutch business is widely known for its matter-of-factness not to say bluntness, Dutch politics is known for "polderen", the grinding process of seeking compromises between all parties involved. It seems like Meta may have confused the two.
It’s a shame that after so many years and so many distributions the community could not come up with a good model for a low maintenance secure distro.

Here in India government has come up with a few policies that helps a lot in this regard. Firstly we have UPI that allows for instant bank account to bank account transfers. Most banks give 20-30 free UPI transactions per month. In addition, government came up with a rule to have 0 transaction fees on low value transactions on cards. In addition to this, government has also been promoting a alternative to visa/mastercard with the rupay network. I think more countries need to look into these.

Here in India cash use is still very popular and mostly used for tax avoidance and to avoid surveillance by the government agencies.
This is a lot of ink to spill for a small tweak to shading - and one that has been fairly common on and off over the years too.

Some of them do, and they're obviously just as insecure. The ones implementing U2F/FIDO/WebAuthN or whatever the standard is called today will sign a cryptographic challenge, and the response includes the origin on which it was requested (i.e. the legit website will reject the response because the origin is the phishing site).
It won't die like myspace but it is long past it's peak. To me, dead means it is no longer a platform where advertising on it has good ROI.

>In what world is it easier to fire someone than to fix them?

You clearly haven't met Austrian management. It's nearly at will employment (in theory it's not, but in some domains many companies know and do skirt around the law to get rid of employees quickly without getting sued).

Once the management decides they don't like you anymore, you're given your standard one to three months notice, then you're gone. I asked a lawyer, and they said the employer can fire your without any reason as long as they give you your contractual notice period.

My favorite example is them using Jira velocity charts to fire the one with the slowest curve. You get a warning (p.i.p.) telling you your velocity needs to catch up, then after two sprints you get your notice handed to you.

OTOH, there are other EU countries where firing people is really difficult. Here it's just a rubber stamp thanks to decades of pro-business politicians elected in power who eroded workers' rghts.

I find it funny that Facebook is now dying because it's considered "too mature" by the youth because back in the day the whole reason why Facebook got so popular was because it was "more mature" than the pre-teen infested social media platforms that preceded it.

I wonder if there is going to be a shift from global to local too. That would be fun to witness. Facebook killed all our national social media platforms the same way it killed myspace in the US.

Ironically, the hacker gains “millions of ETH” instead. The hack is enshrined in the blockchain forever, and if CEXs blocklist the hacker - the ETH sits dormant and wasted forever - and nobody can fix this without hard-forking. True innovation!

Yes, I'm from Hungary. I will add an opt-out feature, but I do not think it is an analytics thing. It is used to count installed instances on the frontpage. That's all.

I think the original comment was talking about a generic sync utility, not about Fossil's or Git's own protocols:

> so it’s extremely to just back it up or keep the repo in cloud storage

A single big file seems like it would cause more issues for a generic sync utility. Though I guess I can imagine sync algorithms that work better with one style vs the other.

European here.

Back after WWII most european people, supported by the scientific community, agreed that the concept of race was not something applicable to human species. It is only used nowadays to talk about the breeding of particular groups of dogs, cats, cows and goats mostly. For us it all look weird and plain racist to hear race still being used in the US, including in official/administrative papers and law enforcement. We attribute that to a huge part of the US being reluctant to abandon segregation.
Thanks, Stefanha!

It is not supported at the moment, but as any service could be added which can be hosted by Docker, it is possible to have a one-click git repository. :)

Although I have not used paperless-ng (extensively) so far, I have been using almost the same method for many years and could not be happier. When I receive a document, I do the same every time:

1) Stamp it with the pagination stamp.
2) Scan it.
3) Dump the scan into a single large digital folder.
4) Dump the original into a physical folder (titled as you do).

It relieves the mental burden of categorising since you do the same every time – stamp, scan, dump. And repeat. In the very rare case you need to find the original it's also superior, thanks to OCR and the sequential numbering being represented on the scan.
For email, calendar, notes and contact I recommend SOGo Groupware, open source solution with activesync.

Can we not call every "cloud provider" an alternative to AWS? Number of services in provider's offer should be taken into consideration, along with how established/stable the provider is.

It may be an alternative to AWS in the future but now it's an immature offer corresponding to few percent of service AWS has.
If they are it'll be a long slow death, they still make a lot of money.
Yes. Nigerian-Americans aren’t African-American. Somali-Americans aren’t African-American. The descendants of Southerners who were held as slaves are African-Americans and over time some people of predominantly sub-Saharan ancestry acculturate to that identity, most obviously and quickly West Indians, but they’re not African-American either.

But about the burger example: Would I buy a burger from the shop with the… extreme site? You bet. Would I buy a burger from the shop with the “modern” site? Less likely! If I had to guess why that is, then maybe it’s about the effort that went into designing the page. The first site may have shit UX, but it at least they went all out with the design. The second site may have better UX, but its design is a soulless husk. No quirks or anything, just 100% boring.

I often miss the old times. The frozen food delivery service I use also had a re-design recently. The catalogue now looks like generic magazine movie prop. At least the new website isn’t as terrible.
I don’t know why you’re being so vitriolic, but at least in my experience - e-commerce search absolutely sucks. Even Amazon is really bad for half my queries.
For a bit of context: Upwork (back then known as oDesk) originally had a flat fee of 10% paid by contractors. Around the time they acquired Elance they changed the fee structure to make it 20% for contracts under $500. Now they are adding additional 5% on top paid by clients.

Note that a withdrawal to a non-US bank is an additional flat $30.

To be fair, until now, Upwork was also charging clients 3% for payment processing, and as far as I understood those will be now included in the 5%.

Using the 'secret' is a common way of deriving further digits in a Sudoku - if you know the sum of digits in a row or a box has to be X, then the missing digits must sum to 45-X. In the 'Cracking The Cryptic' videos, Simon is always careful to explain this, and always prefaces it with a warning that he only tells it to his closest friends (all 400k of them).
"A secret I only tell my friends" is how Simon usually introduces 1 to 9 sum to 45 when he needs that fact to explain his train of thought in Cracking the Cryptic videos.

It's how you end up with 2 million apps in the store but you still can't find what you need.
You're still citing stats from Australia, a country that literally puts illegal immigrants on an island, to dispute claims about the UK, a place that for years explicitly allowed unlimited legal immigration from much poorer countries and now has a massive problem with illegal immigrants crossing the channel.

I think you should retract your statement. You've been given multiple forms of evidence here:

1. Evidence from press investigations that includes actual video evidence of it happening, so you can see it with your own eyes.

2. Statistical evidence from government authorities.

The former you reject because, well, I'm not sure actually. You seem to think they actually were disabled but have no evidence. Or that if something is published in the Metro it can't be true, even when the underlying evidence is provided. Not sure.

The latter you're rejecting because, you claim, the set of arrested beggars is not equal to the set of all beggars, but you've given no reason to believe that this would make any difference. It's also an impossible claim to satisfy - literally any source of data about the problem will be based on a sample you could claim theoretically might have bias.

Here's a question: what evidence would you accept that this problem is real and that the UK situation doesn't match your experience in Australia?
Can't speak for current experience, but we've used it ca early 2016 - late 2017 on ~100 VMs on GCP and it performed flawlessly. No autoscaling though.
Wouldn't that be rectifiable by also tracking the statistics of cases which a practitioner reneges or refuses.

Then somebody with high success rate and high refusal rate stands out as a red flag.
