In reality they don't though. So why do you think that is?

I wonder, what is "Org PDF"?
For this particular website the impact isn't tragic, you can navigate, but you cannot navigate efficiently nor you can figure out well what and where you're navigating to.

In short, it's usable but not perfect, the sidebar should be a nav rather than a div to convey it's where major and meaningful navigation is found. It's not easy to figure out without the visual feedback that those links are different than the others on the website.

There's also lack of a "skip to content" and similar menus that would help into consuming the content. The dialog popups also lack the same usability, they would benefit of clearer aria-labels on the links.

Anyway, I don't think it's a tragedy, again, it's usable, but given that the author lists accessibility as one of its 4 rules and yet it's not really a pinnacle of accessibility, despite the lack of dynamic content and interaction is not great.
This is gold. thanks!

> The problem of overturning government force is a different level of problem to say finding a clever way to create energy, transportation, a new medicine, etc.

Right. But if you don't take into account the way that the force of government in your problem statements, you're not really "infinitely [...] re-imagining and re-engineering our environment", because our environment includes a society and how it reacts - of which having governments is an integral part. Any solution you'd imagine amounts to wishful thinking without a way to put it in practice in a real, pragmatic way. Calling those solutions "infinitely resourceful" seemed a huge stretch to me.

> I don't think people even recognise the level of governmental force in this society - they think government is keeping them safe, rather than facilitating wealth extraction!

I'd say that we consider government doing both. Wealth extraction is a good thing as long as it's used for the purpose that government was created - namely keeping us safe. As long as we perceive that there's enough of a safety net for when bad luck strikes and breaks all of our careful plans, people will tolerate that some of it is diverted to providing leaders with enormous luxuries (some even defend it as a matter of course to ensure that these leaders have sufficient resources to run the nation).

About government overstepping its bounds and harming us, there is a whole philosophical and political line that discusses how to defend ourselves against it. But when that line does not take into account at all the purpose of having a government to begin with, it becomes silly.

You need to look carefully into your institution's dissertation formatting requirements. I've not gone through the process myself, but have heard of people having to reformat their dissertation after not following the University's specific requirements.

While these can all be addressed through styling, you'll end up doing a lot of this styling yourself. Most people use Word or LaTex because they can start with an existing template from an earlier student, or ones provided by your institution.

The formatting details are tricky enough that some universities provide, for example, weekly free walk-in group sessions - https://gradschool.wsu.edu/pdi/submitting-thesis-dissertatio... . The people who provide the help are more likely to be able to help with Word and LaTeX problems than a less common system.

On a rational level, it seems to me that having kids will add a sense of purpose to my life, given how many people share this perspective. At the same time, thinking about the time and effort I will be forced to take away from the thing that keeps me sane fills me with dread. It's not like there's a way back.
Based on my exp: do get rid of depression, you need to get rid of the underlying reasons. But - you just cannot think straight while being depressed. So you most times cannot find out what the issue is or how to conquer it. ADs (imho) help you open your eyes for the underlying issues AND to the fact that these CAN (most of times) be remedied.

I have had diagnosed depression twice, took ADs both times. But i see that it will come back, as there is an issue (others i removed/remedied) in my life which is out of my control completely, but which will be MOSTLY solved in abt 6y or so. So ive made a decision that i suffer this, take note when i get depressed, talk to my doc and get ADs. Disclaimer: im from EU, so it is really cheap for me to get ADs AND therapy (tho i might have to wait some for the therapy).
Oh, and time and time again, vit D and C have helped to raise the gray curtain too, when the depression hits at the end of winter/beg of spring (living in N hemisphere, fairly dark and freezing for half a year)

You are carefully defining the word “trading” to meet a narrow academic category which excludes many cases normal people consider integral to “trading”.

Given the confusion a lot of people have with the situation, it is absolutely ridiculous not have signs at such an intersection in a city. Arguing that people "should know" is pointless when the end result of not having signs is just going to be more accidents.

I agreed with this several years ago, but I’m not sure any more. Software networks are very different than other things humans have had in the past.

It's all a numbers game. The median member of your kernel team, the median fire extinguisher, the median link to a sales web page, the median joist in a floor, all will do nothing of note. But if you distribute the resources properly they will hopefully be where they are needed to generate a positive ROI that pays for the overall system. If you zoom in too much or too little it all looks silly.

I have a Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 dock with my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro running two 4k monitors at 60hz and 1gb ethernet and various usb peripherals.

All works pretty well now days but the ethernet had issues when I first got it, would not renew dhcp lease and just stop, and it is Realtek over USB. Some MacOS update along the line fixed that issue and long with various other issues with progressive MacOS release.

The setup was pretty unstable at first with kernel panics once in a while related to video drivers waking up, but now days is pretty solid with a single cable docking solution.

Will probably move to M1 Mac at some point and something like Caldigit TS4 with 2.5gb PCIe ethernet.

Show HN: Tilepieces – An open source project for visually editing HTML documents
Hi all,
My name is Simone Di Nuovo and i'm the creator of tilepieces, an open source project to visually editing HTML documents and Web applications.

Tilepieces is a software that allows you to create applications for editing HTML documents, using some of the popular interfaces of the browser developer tools (with which it is possible to integrate css edits).

Tilepieces also allows you to reuse your favorite code and libraries, and exposes APIs that are useful for editing multiple files at a time.
You can start using tilepieces with its progressive web application version at https://pwa.tilepieces.net!

I will be happy to receive any comments from you.
>Fun fact but for years updating GPUs led to a decrease rather than an increase in framerate.

Sounds more like a specific technical issue with an specific engine and drivers that lacked optimization rather than an axiom that can generalize games and GPUs for several years. If you have a source for this please share it.

Also, IIRC, back then the game physics were tied to the framerate, so having too high framerate made your gameplay completely wonky as it messed up character jumps and weapon balistics, so I assume that those framerate limits with more powerful GPUs could have been there on purpose to keep the game playable.
That seems consistent. If there's a 1% chance of a meaningful improvement, and 99 out of 100 changes do not meaningfully improve things, than the challenge is knowing beforehand what the most impactful engineering work is going to be.
Yeah, Amiga was light years ahead of PC and others in the music scene. It was truly incredible at the time. ProTracker blew my mind -- you could just.. make music, by hand. So many games had rich soundtracks. Not to mention the demo scene, arguably an art form, blending audio and visual effects in a constant race of one-upmanship while squeezing every last bit of performance from these ancient chipsets. Or the whole genre of cracktros (short intros put in bootloaders before games by the crackers / pirates distributing them).

A bungie rebounder (mini trampoline) is a good exercise. It gets your heart rate up and exercises pretty much every muscle in your body while being low impact and easy on your joints. NASA did a study back in the 70's and claimed it was more efficient than jogging with less joint stress.

Even if you can't stand, you can get health benefits from bouncing while merely sitting on it. Even people who are paralyzed can benefit by sitting on it and be bounced by another person.

You can watch videos or chat while doing it. You don't have to worry about bad weather. It's almost silent so you can do it even while others are sleeping in the same room. You can hold or wear weights while doing it to increase strength. It doesn't take much space and some have folding legs for storing behind or under other furniture and some even fold the frame for storage or transportation.

As someone who's worked between big corporations and family owned businesses, I'd say the family owned and small businesses are worse, especially in entry level jobs, than working for a big corporation. At least with a big corporation, they're more likely to leave your branch or location alone if you at least hit their targets for revenue. There's not much in the way of micro management in a job at the bottom rung with respect to big corporations whereas I've had 'the owners' of family owned businesses always pestering folks when most times they have no clue what they're doing, especially their kids who they think they can trust with running day-to-day operations.

> Not a fan of these types of services myself

What do you mean by "these types of services"?
That's true, but not a ding on Moorcock here. This usage to refer to right wing social policy is common on the activist left, and this is an interview in New Statesman. He's speaking his own dialect to his own people, and anyone familiar with that discourse is going to know what he means (that Tolkien in the modern world would be a friend to the bougies and not the downtrodden, clearly not that Tolkien was a fan of 1930's fascist regimes).

And... Moorcock is right as far as it goes. Tolkien revolutionized worldbuilding in fiction and inspired generations. But throughout the corpus the one theme that is conspicuously absent is "social progress". The only way to make things better in Middle Earth is to try to go back to the way things were, in vain attempts to recall the glories of Numenor, or Beleriand, or Valinor. No one fixes anything. No one improves anything. No one even tries, really. From the perspective of a modern reader, especially a leftist one, that's really quite jarring.
