New Spring4Shell Zero-Day Vulnerability What it is and how to be prepared
This style reminds me of late 90s early 2000th website style with those very overly round corners.
Jesus I hate being A/B tested without my consent. Particularly, why is Apple of all places doing this, given their otherwise strong track record of standing up for their users in regard to tracking and other bullshit by major players?!
That wasn’t skimmable, lol. But a striking point no-less.

Put another way, a lot of the economic advantages of “problem solving” in big tech in particular is so dangerously devoid (or “bankrupt” as you state) of suitable representation that the framing leads to the dangerous social precipice we now find ourselves in.

It’s questions without representation, with lowly symbolism if any at all.

Eg “connecting people” is a useless solution without the correct representation.

I hope I didn’t totally miss your point :)
Indeed, the UNIX CLI is a poor man's experience compared with a Lisp REPL, Smalltalk transcript or Oberon commands session.
I understand that many Europeans think that racism no longer exists in Europe - and I've never been there to see for myself - we do get the occasional story of black athletes getting bananas thrown at them in Italy, something that is weird and just plain racist. A person caught doing that in America would be permanently banned from the venue.
I agree, but I'm a researcher, and while I don't read those pages I still need to get the content out in some cases [1].

Yes exactly. Advertising in a relevant forum is both on topic there and not infringing anyone's privacy.

Europe, there were almost weekly changes through the pandemic and you still failed to answer my question where I will find this information without checking the news, I find much easier check daily the news than check them once a week trying to catch up what I missed in whole week looking for some summary, that's not what I would call efficient use of my time
Swede here, it is a different world in the US. Firing is easy, two weeks at the most to get someone out. The other way holds true though, it is equally difficult to find replacements but usually once you do, they can join sooner than in Scandinavia since employees too can leave within a days or at most 1-2 weeks.

The cleverest guy from our school who was working several years above his level and was a prodigy in music etc was working in a papermill and living with his parents well into his 30s. Being smart does not mean being successful.

Having said that I do know a few smart people who work on the boards of various companies.

A good friend was a research physicist for years and is now basically unemployed but does some part time work tutoring kids in maths and taking groups of kids to do outdoor activities. If you are really smart would you be working 12 hours a day in an office?
Unfortunately, it seems like a technical solution to a society-wide human problem to me.
I'm more concerned that a lot of friends in our parish called for war and justify censorship or strict sanctions. I guess this are not Christian values.

Sure, we should help. But not only Ukrainian's but all people that are damaged by war. We should also pray for our enemies.

- regular expressions, including the hairy stuff like back references or lookarounds. When you need it, you're glad you know it exists, event if you need a few minutes to look for the syntax.

- shell scripting + Linux commands. Not having friction when writing a shell script is amazing, it's extremely productive.

- awk. I rarely use it (I use cut, sed, or perl one liners in priority), but to make some non trivial changes it's great to be able to keep a state between parsed lines.

- git. I've never had to delete/re-clone a repository since I've read the Git Book.

- SQL querying. Same thing, I have no friction when I need to write group by, CTEs, or other intermediate stuff.

If you do frontend stuff:

- CSS. It's a quirky language so you need to learn how it works properly, not hacking stuff here and there. I've never had any issues doing anything in CSS since I learned it for real.

Steve Job's original vision for mobile apps
> much greater sense of privacy.

This could have been the case, but Discord blocks me from making new accounts without a separate, expensive mobile phone number.

You can’t even join most servers without having a bot ping your name publicly. This name is then searchable by any user in that server by searching for “mentions:yourcurrentname#tag”. This applies even if you changed your username since then.

You also cannot turn off the ability for someone to see what mutual servers or mutual friends you have.

Any of the above issues would be manageable as a single issue, but when combined, Discord is the worst tool for privacy, bar none.
Neumorphism is just a style, not a complete design philosophy like skeumorphism, or the rejection of skeumorphism. It wouldn't even be compared to the two if its inventor didn't give it a clever name. It does look nice though, when not overdone. But Claymorphism? Sorry but it looks like the kind of buttons I made with the emboss effect in Paint Shop Pro in the 90s :-D. But it does give me nostalgia.

I think there is a lot of knowledge of how to make these effects that gets lost and rediscovered periodically. Both web designers and desktop theme designers had a lot of tricks. For example, you can make something look concave or convex with a subtle gradient (like in neumorphism). Or, you can make a button look more realistic with a 1px grey shadow around, grounding it to the background (like buildings in a RTS game might have. Or, you can use a gradient with a step in the middle to simulate glossyness and get an "aqua" style. It might be a fun and useful project to collect this kind of knowledge.

And yet, they actually know nothing. They cannot price the exigent threats to human civilization. They cannot price the risk to collapse of biodiversity chains from mass extinctions. They cannot price the value of wilderness.

They can price slaughtering natives to gain access to natural resources. They can price the slave trade. They can price the value of a human life (it's not much). They can price paving a wetland to build some 1+5 apartments.

And yet they are the #1 academic study that influences policy. Ok, PERHAPS international relations/political "science" is #1, although that is REALLY not a science.

I trust that Apple isn't doing anything nefarious here, but at the same time, I'm quite grateful that others aren't so trusting. I want the "white hat" suspicious and skeptical rooting through everything. In fact, I don't think I'd trust Apple so much if it weren't for those that don't trust them. Their constructive distrust enables my trust.

UnDUNE II – The Demaking of a Dynasty
The look of HTML pages used to be up to the end user, W3C should never have allowed non-logical HTML and other ways of breaking design. When a new standard is invented as a remedy, it will suffer the same fate as HTML as long as this problem is not taken care of. AFAIK, the way to take care of it is to enforce semantic markup in all aspects of a page and leave the rest to the end user. The browser should know things like "this is a large list of strings that the user can choose", "this is an image with the following description", maybe even author-intended display preferences, but not more than that.

I think the overall best solution would be to switch from a layout language to a programming language where each program manages special input and output variables that are marked semantically and given display and layout hints. No HTML, no CSS, just programs on a virtual "semantic display" with input and output of data to the user.
Each to their own but I really enjoy the long form of his videos. I don’t find them drawn out at all.
I suspect that the browser you are using is not spec-compliant. Pseudo-elements (like ::before and ::after) are not actually present in the DOM and are therefore not selectable.

edit: I see that you are probably referring to the z-index of the ::before element overlapping the text, preventing selection.
Nope, instead you have to apply guesswork to figure out why an apt-get call accidentally uninstalled your desktop environment. :P

I have a rudimentary always on reader mode: I turn off CSS and JS by default. Once I scroll past what would be the billion custom button gifs and menu items I'm left with beautiful, clean text.

I turn the stuff on on a per site basis when I want to use an actual web app, something like github, and every now and then I get an article that wants to fight me on it and my usual response is "well I guess you don't want to influence me with your words bad enough" and I back out. But it works 99% of the time exactly how I expect it to.
> On Apple’s iPhone OS 1, the YouTube app icon is a television instead of the iconic logo we know today!

Because that logo didn't exist yet! YouTube didn't start using their modern logo until 2017 -- before then, they were using a wordmark logo which wouldn't have made for a good icon.
Just try to imagine the most vulgar, dirty, corrupt and cynical reason why it might be that way. You'll probably be right.
No, I don't remember a time when users were in control and actually owned Apple-made hard- and software.

This used to be the case here in Norway until 2021 as well, but now it's illegal to slap the old "sold-as-it-is" clause at the end of the contract.

You can still sell horrible stuff of course, but you have to say that it's horrible, in the listing :-)
The metric for "it works" is whether people successfully get started and continue to use the platform. For commercial companies this coincides with them making money. Even though Mastodon is a non-profit and does not and has no way of making money from having more users, it is a valuable goal in itself. Each new user decreases the network effects pull of commercial social networks and increases the usefulness of the network for everyone on it. Especially since the userbase is never static as people leave due to natural and unnatural causes, it is important to keep an eye on new user retention.

I love radio too. I still remember the time I got to use a super het Zenith AM / SW radio. It was tube type, sensitive as heck, and had a few nice features, including three bandwidth presets: 3.5khz, 5khz and 8khz.

My grandfather had it connected to an excellent outdoor antenna too!

At night, there was not a single spot on the dial where no station could be heard. It was amazing!

One could hear "the noise of our world" and listen to stations from all over the place, and it would vary some due to propagation changes naturally occurring.

SW was as good and the difference being stations from all over the world. You know this, of course, but I wanted to paint a picture for others.

So there I was listening, and grandma would run the mixer, and the neighbors electric fence, a car starting, maybe a bit of atmosphere noise from a small lightning discharge all combined into the program, plus the world piped right into my ear.

Most of the time this sounded way better than I am writing here.

It is like having another sense! And it present, immediate, right here with me, right now.

And in my mind, I pictured the world, far away places like points of light. On a good night, it was like no light pollution where one can see so many stars!

And one of those little portables might be like in town, not so many stars, but plenty of bright ones.

In my mind they are all transmitting and we get to listen and get news, happenings, brought to us as fast as possible.

There are few effective differences. Noise being one. It will be what the world is doing there, not here. Other things may crop up. It may be night there.

AM radio was the first tech I considered magic. The world is alive and so are we! And that radio being like another sense invokes strong feelings in some people. Did in me.
You may as well say that the Bank of England is too focused on making counterfeit proof banknotes, and actually they should be building door locks, making alarm systems, campaigning for police patrols etc.

These are two distinct problems completely.
Pretty sure there was no guesswork involved in finding out why that happened, since it was resolved so quickly.
The solution is obviously to not show a notification at all, ever.

If I'm trying to log in, I know that I have to go into Authenticator and approve, so just check if there are outstanding requests (e.g. with a 2 minute timeout) when I open the app.
Then why do you only see it in cold weather? This is primary school physics...
In Britain, specifically, one of the issues is that the law says a subset of people are to be denied banking. Banks must check; those people are not allowed to open bank accounts, or be added as users of shared accounts.

That's the UK Hostile Environment "right to bank" policy (orwellian for "no right to bank").

It affects undocumented migrants and asylum seekers of course, but it also anyone whose papers are not in good order, whose visa expires and they don't manage to obtain new paperwork in time (and that event may trigger closure of existing accounts if unlucky), people who've grown up in the UK and only when they turn 18 discover they don't have normal rights, and a surprisingly large amount of government incompetence (notable example Windrush people), and some irrational cruelty against people who have not broken any rules.

In short, banking in the UK is a government-controlled privilege not a right, and the government of the day isn't exactly strong on treating everyone well. But most people take banking for granted and think of it as available to everyone.

Personally I think that access to essential basics such as buying food really needs to be open to everyone, not "subject to status". A cashless society that prohibits by law the means of payment for an underclass of people in it is a cruel society indeed, and pretty much guaranteed to increase modern slavery and abuse. We have enough of that in the UK already.

Ask HN: Best embedded report/dashboard solution for SaaS product
We are building a SaaS product aimed at local government customers. It solves a specific set of problems that are very domain specific and there is quite a bit of complexity involved in building the core product.

We offer a set of really awesome features that a lot of prospects want, and we do it in a much better way than our competitors.

Problem is, it's government, which means a LOT of tenders and EVERY single tender has a section in the requirements a mile long where they effectively want us to include a full-featured reporting and business intelligence product... in addition to the actual product itself.

Obviously it would be insane for us to build this ourselves. It's a whole product on its own that we don't specialise in. So we want to buy / implement something open source.

We're looking at things like Bold BI, Toucan Toco, Cumul.io, etc. Almost all of them seem to need to ingest ALL of the data themselves, do crazy ass levels of manipulation and workflows on it, and then charge a boat load for us to be able to embed it in our app.

All we really want though is for a nice front-end that we can connect to a read-replica of our DB. We need people to be able to create queries, build tables and some basic graphs, present it in the UI on dashboards, and export it as different formats.

Thoughts?
I'd love it if it was that! :D
Sure. But the issue here is when these features are not used correcly. For non-vms, linux uses cpu jitter as a fallback if the random device is missing or misconfigured. But for vms, that fallback doesn't work as well.
The friction you are describing is when you leave Mastodon's web app and go on the public pages of different servers (that have no way to know who you are because they are separate websites with separate cookies). You do not have to leave Mastodon's web app to interact with users and content from other servers. When you naturally see content or users from other servers in your home feed, on the explore tab, in notifications, and so on, there is no difference in how you interact with them. And if you need to look up something that isn't in the interface, you can use the search bar (you can paste URLs into it, too)

There is DevonThink [1]. Has been around for decades, does OCR, syncs to a huge bunch of services including WebDav, has mobile clients.

I'm struggling with this exact thing at work, but the problem is that I'm terrible at "generating excitement" for my direction. I treat all my coworkers as peers, with full respect and compassion and without telling them what to do. Whenever I try to gently nudge them in my direction, I get a heap of pushback. If it's not clear, I'm also terrible at persuasion and influencing people, so I don't really know how to fix this situation. I like my company and my boss, but my brain is screaming "CHANGE YOUR ORGANIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR ORGANIZATION" 24/7.

Any suggestions?
