google's policy is to ban everything associated with an account immediately upon violation of obscure policy in one specific product.

i do not know what policy specifically could lead to a ban due to a use of map reviews while traveling internationally but at this point this is what many of us have come to expect from google as a matter of course.

Well, there's a few options out there for something like this, it depends on what you're going for specifically.

There's Gemini and gopher, protocols designed around transferring and rendering plain documents.

There are terminal based browsers like Lynx that render pages in a terminal, of course it's all text on your end.

If you're talking about a GUI program to do what reader view does and only that, the reader view code is open source and available from Mozilla, I'm sure it wouldn't be much to build a webview app for mobile or a simple GUI that sits on top of curl or wget or something like that, fetches the page, processes a URL and renders the text. You're probably going to be manually entering URLs though, I'm not sure in the modern web how you even click from one site to another, how you even wind up at a URL for a written article using only reader view.

> those people who make close contact with reality have figured out that masking doesn't make any practical difference

Wait, what? What's your epistemology here? I thought medical studies overwhelmingly show that masking does make a difference. Are you suggesting that we should just ignore the studies and listen to people 'who make close contact with reality'? What does that even mean?
For me it's done the opposite. It's re-enforced my individuality.

I have an old medical issue that makes masks very troublesome to the point of panic. I've spent the last two years trying to explain this and been nothing but stonewalled at work, in the medical community etc. Nobody wants to find a solution, their medical theatre is more important to them. Even simpler solutions like allowing me to work remotely or letting me book an office when I'm there are rejected because they don't want to undermine the message.

In the end it showed me how easy it is to become marginalised and how all those people that say they care about inclusion don't really give a fuck about fixing edge cases as long as they are seen to be virtuous.

I was pretty socialist myself but now I've become totally individualist. When given the choice between what's best for me or for society I will always choose myself from now on. I've learned from my mistakes. F society.

I have a friend in a wheelchair who told me about this in the past but I never saw it. Companies promoting inclusion and installing fancy wheelchair ramps, yet not totally ignoring things like the accessway into the building that's full of steps. It's mostly virtue signalling. Being confronted with this myself really opened my eyes.

While I agree with you and believe that this is purely for the purpose of making money, the World Cup is still 8 months away.

Congratulations! I remember when Mastodon was first posted to HN. It has become a really polished and thriving project since then.

I am a bit jaded about the whole Twitter model though. I haven't really found a nice twitter community, and I consider it mostly "write-only" TBH.

I wonder if there is an ActivityPub application that is more like the early Facebook or MySpace. Not so much centered around the feed, but around the profile page. You curate a really nice profile page, add info about you and selected posts. And it can also serve as a landing page for people who are not on the network. You can add people to "collect" them as friends and get updates and chat with them, but it is not about getting a feed with all their tweets. I think I saw a federated VK clone the other day, which goes a little bit in that direction.
Often they don't care because this makes it easy for Google to still index their content and blocks most humans.

But having the ball available to practice with would still be useful. The ball can indeed make a difference; I seem to recall quite a stir during the Brazil World Cup when the players kept complaining that the seven-panel ball they were using was uncontrollable - like "kicking around a beach ball."
Depends. CONMEBOL has a pretty arduous qualification process, eighteen matches against the likes of Brazil and Argentina :-O UEFA has ten (and potentially a couple of playoff rounds)
It's a bit disappointing that they announce a ball with new panel shapes and print and then only show a cropped image, from one side only, as hero image.

Ask HN: How might public trust in our institutions be restored?
I’m not sure if there was ever a time that government institutions were benevolent and deserving of trust. Though the distrust in institutions of late is sharp. What is the future of institutions fighting for the well-being of the public? Are those days gone? Did they ever exist?
That would cause havoc; specifically because other instances can forward your message. So the original message will always float around in retweets and replies. It'll probably be very visible.
It strikes me as a kind of modularisation. There's a constraint on the solution that involves dozens of rows, columns and boxes in combination; but you can treat combinations of that style as a reusable module, like "center ring and corners".

I'm not sure that's an accurate way of thinking of it, but if so it would make it similar to Rubik's Cube moves, where you string dozens of individual low-level moves together to build the desired effect.

Edit to add: hmm, thinking about it, many Cube moves have the form A-B-A', where you get into position with A, apply the key move B, then back out of A again. The Sudoku equivalent might be applying a grid permutation A that preserves the constraints, solving cell B, then backing out of A again. But that's probably not a convenient way for human solvers to think about it, as you can't physically permute a Sudoku like you can with a Cube.
Really sad, I used to love Google maps. It feels like it's becoming worse by the year (at least in Europe). It used to be extremely accurate in predicting traffic and knowing about road closures. Now I can often estimate traffic better from memory and have to look up other sources to know about road closures or construction. Business info is pretty good still, but also only because it's provided by businesses.

Let me give you an analogy. Say we are on Earth looking up and we see the moon. We decide we want to go visit. Every day we add a couple of stones to a large pile on top of a mountain (those are the edge cases). We are provably getting closer to the moon every day. But we will not get there because we need better technology, we don't need piles of stones, we need a rocket.

In your view we are within striking distance of the moon, another couple of piles of stones and we are there. In my view, I'm not sure that it will just take more stones and not a better technology, and I'm beginning to lean more and more towards the latter because the problems that we were seeing 10 years ago we are still seeing today: more and more edge cases. And edge cases can be a symptom of a problem that is almost solved or it can be a symptom of a problem that is being solved using the wrong toolset, especially when there are lots of them and new ones keep popping up all the time.

Clear now?

And by the way: none of this is to imply that what has been done isn't impressive, the MB statement that they will accept liability if their software is in control of the vehicle is a step in the right direction and shows a lot of confidence. But it's incremental progress towards a goal that might not be reachable in that way.
> It's also common in audio manipulation, e.g. change to the frequency domain in order to modify pitch, then change back to the time domain.

Funnily enough, yes but actually no. For understanding and mathematical proofs the Fourier Transform is obviously essential. But when you first get into audio DSP programming it might seem that the FFT is crucial as well. But virtually all digital audio filters directly operate on the on the time domain.

The problem is that we always work with a sampled signal. And while the Nyquist theorem tells us that as long as our sample frequency is at least twice as high as the highest frequency in our input that our sampling doesn't lose any information, we still have to be aware of it.

When you convert a fixed frequency sampled signal into the frequency domain, you get a sum of a fixed set (co)sine functions, because we're still sampled. Now some operations you can do in this frequency domain exactly and simply. E.g. if 100Hz is part of our fixed set of functions and we wish to subtract a 100Hz signal, we can directly do that on our coefficient. A pitch shift by an exact multiple of the frequency sample delta is possible exactly too, assuming the lowest/highest frequencies shifted off are inaudible.

But you almost never want to do these operations. A classic example of something you might want to do is a low-pass filter. Simple right? FFT to frequency domain, zero out the coefficients above the cutoff frequency, and convert back. No! Zeroing out coefficients is equivalent to subtracting those specific sine waves. But that is not a low-pass. As an example, suppose our sample frequency is such that the FFT's sine wave coefficients are 10Hz apart, and we wish to do a 30Hz low-pass filter. This means that a 25Hz signal should be completely unaffected, but a 25Hz signal can't be represented just using the 10Hz and 20Hz coefficients - you need higher order terms! Thus if we zero those out, we distort our 25Hz signal.

So to solve this in the real-world you get into the difficult topic of filter design, or other audio DSP algorithms that are vastly more involved than a simple FFT.
They can still practice with it, and (I think) use it in the friendlies in the run-in to the finals.

I think that’s the point of dylan604 question?

If you choose 1024 people to give stock tips to, telling half that a random stock will go up and the other half it will go down, then ignore the group you were wrong at and repeat the process, you’ll end up with someone convinced you’re a genius because you gave them 10 accurate stock tips in a row.

People have some well-founded respect for the procedures that medical trials have to go through, including informed consent. That’s spilling over/being misdirected to the use of the trial mechanism in other fields, even though it makes absolutely no sense.

The alternative to A/B testing in UX design is not some more rigorous trial with fully-informed consent. Instead, it‘s the older and still predominant mechanism of “let’s just change it”.

Consent in medical tests is important because it involves a ‘B’ that is a substance or procedure that has not (yet) been shown to be safe & effective. The trial is less restrictive than the alternative scenario, where it would be illegal to just treat you with ‘B’.

None of that applies: both the A and B in A/B tests are software versions, for which there are zero legal requirements. Neither version will have an impact on your health or kill you, which cannot always be said for untested pharmaceuticals. A tailor is absolutely free to suggest dark navy to one customer and anthracite to the next, even if they flip a coin to decide and/or mentally take note of what customers like.

The possible harm from A/B testing is the maximum of the harms of A and B. If you wouldn’t complain about either alternative, there is no legitimate reason to complain about the combined A/B harm.
The withdrawal method for contraception comes to mind.

Does it work better than nothing for some time-limited period? Sure.

But does it work? No, if pregnancy is not an acceptable outcome then you can't rely on it.

You can't take the probability of contracting an infection on one exposure and then extrapolate it out. Over a long enough period p reaches 1.
I am from the Netherlands and studied in the UK for half a year. I asked if I should open a British bank account to save on transaction costs every time I bought something, and to make paying my rent easier. Other students from abroad told me not to bother, because it would take 3 months at least to setup a bank account.

They also said I could probably pay my rent in cash if I asked (the landlord was actually rather pleased when I asked her if I could pay in cash). I ended up paying for everything in cash for half a year, as most places would not accept my debit card. I don't know how expats solve this that need a bank account to receive their salary..
It isn't. And even getting permanent resident status can take a long, long time.
You sound severely self-centric and antisocial. Protests are a movement, and the noise they make are the extended arm that you are to grab and hop onto.
You're absolutely correct. If you could divide your program into multiple garbage collector heaps and then choose which garbage collector strategy (or even no garbage collector) to use then even Java could be used for soft real time applications. The problem is "stop the world including my time critical thread". If you only stop the non critical threads and let the critical threads keep running there is no issue with GCs.

> to the webapp root directory

This is only possible if the application is running from an exploded WAR. That can happen if the developer deploys an exploded WAR - normal in development, extremely strange in production - or if the application server explodes the WAR to run it. I know it used to be standard for application servers to do that, but my understanding was that they stopped doing this 5 - 10 years ago, and now run applications directly from the WAR file. That said, i am certainly not intimately familiar with all extant application servers, or what versions are in use - perhaps there are plenty of deployments that still do this.

I always argued for deploying the app as one user, then executing it as another, which didn't have write access to the deployment, specifically to avoid this class of problem, but nobody ever bothers to do that!
Also to expand on this, personally I found pair-programming easier on my mind when done IRL and not remotely. Sitting one next to the other has just more bandwidth available and spreading the communication over it makes it way easier for me.
Remotely, I can do it for a 2, maybe 3 hour session and then I'm fried for the rest of the day (but usually those were 2-3 good and productive hours).
Disclaimer:
Unfortunately I believe that engaging others is always a case of emotional intelligence and communication skills. There is no amount of rational arguments that can bring them on Your side if they do not feel that You are right. With emphasis on feel - we all are highly irrational creatures and almost all decisions are emotional. If You do not understand what kind of feelings Your communications (both verbal and written) generates in Your team mates than You will never be highly effective with convincing anyone to bring on any kind of change.

Linux can be chatty, but I'd recommend installing OpenSnitch to get a handle on the few phone-home calls from programs like snapd (if you choose to not neuter it, immediately) and distro-specific upsells like "ubuntu-advantage".

The biggest pay-off for OpenSnitch is if you're going to be installing and using third-party programs like VSCode and Unity, who love to talk to analytics providers.
It can work both ways.

It's unfortunate people are mostly conditioned to not oppose: whether to get branches landed faster, or simply because of the imposter syndrome, but some of us who are good at opposing and saying no sometimes struggle to find the right balance.

My goal when reviewing is to help others learn something new, which is why I'll sometimes share a personal, subjective preference for an approach (with "subjective" meaning that there are pros and cons to either approach with neither being better in every circumstance, especially in a legacy codebase like they all are).

I am trying to walk the fine line between teaching someone something potentially new, and not dumping on their velocity or self-confidence. I love it when people acknowledge the idea and say "nope", yet I understand that many won't do that, so most of the time, I stop myself from even sharing my subjective preference.

Outside of character, it requires building trust between people and not being out there to "prove your mettle", but to build stuff together. And with so much churn in jobs and remote work (I haven't met my new coworkers of 6 months yet, and I haven't met half the previous team either), that's sometimes hard.
Indeed, only to learn about all the programming languages, libraries and communication protocols used in the system, and then they might understand what is happening.

I guess for the same reason people tend to criticise drug barons more

Though everyone plays their part in an ugly business, there are power
relationships in operation. Facebook know what they are selling and
are gatekeepers to a near monopoly product. Businesses are desperately
in need and find few alternatives these days. Facebook are apex
predators and simply carry more responsibility and so deserve more
scrutiny for their role.
