It's like getting kicked in the balls to train oneself before a fight. It doesn't train for anything, it's just pure meaningless suffering. A kid doesn't have the mental toolset to deal with being bullied.

Heck, even an adult can't be expected to deal with everything. That's why we have laws against mobbing, harassment and stalking.
> It's a base level of respect to address people as the ask to be addressed. The student was within reason to complain but it never should have gone past a direct conversation w/ admin on standards of behavior.

Depends. If you ask me to use "Allah" as your pronoun, as an hypothetical Muslim, it could violate my religious rights and I might not want to do it. The whole made up pronouns thing has absolutely nothing to do with correct English.
its 100% intentional on the administrations part. this is their 'creative' way of trying to not meet their campaign promise. highly annoying.

Ask HN: Where can I find higher-level UI components?
There exists a lot of high-quality UI component libraries such as MUI, Bootstrap, ANT, Grommet, Chakra, Semantic UI, etc. These components typically map to primitive types:

boolean -> checkbox / toggle button / visibility
integer -> numeric input / slider
enum -> drop down menu / radio buttons
string -> text field
date -> date picker
array -> list view
matrix -> table view
bitmap -> image
async promise -> loading indicator
side effect -> button

But what about higher-level types, classes, and schemas? Where can I find UI components that map to a person, a place, an event, a product, a transaction, a movie, an album, a book, an article, or a comment? Shouldn't higher-level UI components exist for popular ontologies such as Schema.org? It seems absurd to manually reimplement these templates in every project, yet I can't seem to find any comprehensive library of such components.

Have I been searching in the wrong place or do such higher-level UI component libraries actually don't exist?
How did you make the move in terms of learning what you needed to know then getting a job doing it?
The way this works is that you just have to define something to be a "necessity" in the public consciousness, because there's a prevailing intuition that it's illegitimate to be asked to pay for anything that fits that description. Medical bills are a necessity, so it's illegitimate to be asked to pay them. You have to go to college to get a good job, so it's illegitimate to be asked to pay for an education. You need a place to live, so high rents are also illegitimate. And so on.
Even if they knew about the emotional toll, they still would feel the urge to be cruel.

The question is why this urge appears and what we can do about it.
If that is hostile, then what is ISPs selling browsing data [1]? Google gathering location data even on those who opt out? Facebook gathering contacts lists and text messages [2]?

And no, not selling that data doesn't make the act non-hostile. If company X possessing that data is hostile, why is Facebook/Google/AT&T/Microsoft having it any better? Because of their saint-like reputation?

Will you be answering my question above? I can only assume you've seen it by now.
I guess it is, because of the lock-in factor of all things Apple. People like some part of the products, but other parts suck, like having to carry around silly adapters for stuff. Maybe it is some subconscious kind of thing: "If everyone was using what I am using, I would have no issues with having to bring adapters."

A bit like a snowball scheme, where you try to get more and more people to buy in and commit to it. Then they will be your cool Apple friends and you can exchange with them without problems.

Ultimately the lock-in of that whole ecosystem pushes people away from it though. Most knowledgeable people, who can avoid it will avoid it, because they do not want non-standard hardware, missing ports, 400€ monitor stands and stuff like that.
I think there are actually two questions here:

1. Why do some people seem to be so fanatical about their love for Macs?

2. Why do some people seem to be so vocally fanatical online about their love for Macs?

As far as #1 goes, I think it's just about finding something that you have to use every day that you are much happier with. I have found small pieces of software that have made me jump for joy simply because they resolved a small problem; it's not hard to understand why someone would become so fanatical about switching to a a completely new piece of hardware and OS that they feel works so much better than what they were previously using.

I used to have long and aggressive arguments with my college roommate about why Windows was superior to OS X and said that I would never even consider owning an Apple product. I've been using a Mac now for work and personal use for a little over a decade and I dread every time I need to use my Windows machine for certain work tasks.

I think this is perfectly understandable and I don't think there's anything wrong with people going through the process of finding something that changes the way they do something major in their lives.

#2, however, tends to be more unpleasant when it becomes vitriolic/persistent. I think this is just a symptom of the happiness that exists from feeling like you've found the greener grass (and wanting to share that with others) mixed with an inability to understand the negative aspects of aggressively stating to complete strangers that the preferences of others are objectively wrong. I think this is inevitable considering the Mac is still considered the "alternate" option for some reason, and it's paired (inevitably) with those that feel that the fanaticism for the alternate option is unwarranted.

I think the tech sector has always attracted both skeptics and idealists/innovators, and that's bound to create an environment where you'll have groups that feel like it's their duty to inform others of what they feel is the better way and groups of people that feel like it's their duty to temper unwarranted fanaticism.
> Exactly what right as an employee do you have to create a hostile environment for customers?

What right does the employer has to violate my religious rights? And students aren't customers.
while i agree with you to some extent, i don't think including a very large set of sorting functions in the standard library is a good idea. especially for dynamic languages, a larger standard library means more disk usage and worse cache utilization. it's also typically relatively easy to use your own sort function: in performance-critical cases, the sort function is usually called directly, not via intermediate libraries (which might need to be patched to call the new sort function); also, sort functions are self-contained, i.e. typically don't require system dependencies.
Just housing and feeding around 50 million borrowers while they attend school for 4-ish years ends up being a damn lot of money.
Sure they do. But not the right to say whatever you want at your job.
We do, actually, at least in the US. It's called bankruptcy. We generally recognize that sometimes despite best intentions, debts become unpayable and in these cases, the debts get restructured and creditors are frequently wiped out (which is fair, since both borrower and lender take risks).

Student loans can't be discharged through bankruptcy unless the borrower is permanently disabled. It's entirely possible to end up in default on a loan for a degree you never obtained, paying a loan your entire life, without ever decreasing the principal. Unsurprisingly, this rubs people the wrong way.
I agree in principle but I feel a doubling may be a bit too steep.
The culmination being this dissertation style thought piece

I think that's too generous. A dissertation has a thesis. This article just sort of meanders around with no particular point to make. She says how "utterly astonishing" receiving a message from this man was and how she "had questions" but never bothers trying to answer them. She speaks with a philosophy lecturer and gets a bunch of stories from other people about their experience talking to their bullies but doesn't care anything about her own. I was really hoping at the end she'd tie it all together by having a conversation with her former bully and telling us how it made her feel but she just...stops. It's not an article; it's just a list of anecdotes from other people.

I'm always a little frustrated when I see a page that obviously comes from someone whose main concern was having an article to write instead of having a subject they care about so much they wanted to write an article about it, and this was pretty clearly the former.
And you can fix code by recompiling; there's a tabula rasa built into the programming domain that isn't built into real life.
Possibly thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is required to metabolize glucose and heavy drinkers have this deficiency. Covid seems to have a similar effect. Get your daily 100-200mg B1 HCL for a while and see if it improves. If you suspect liver, try betaine.
Why should universities be like cities? They aren't in other countries. All of the non academic services that a university provides are also provided by the private sector, and they would love to have you as a customer.

University students are adults, and their emotional issues are not the responsibility of the university any more than they are the responsibility of your employer. Medical insurance can be bought through the ACA exchanges, and the students can go to any medical provider in the area (yes this system sucks, but it's not the university's job to fix). The grant writing department is the only one of your examples that actually seems like the business of the university.

edit: they probably don't even need to buy insurance because at that age you are probably covered on your parents plan

> Safari is only good for Netflix for me.

> It's inspector is just so different from the rest and you can't even have a custom font to be used! because, security...

Yeah, it's far from perfect but it's really light on battery and is ~never the cause of beachballs while I'm using some other program, neither of which were the case with FF or Chrome, for me :-/ My ideal browser doesn't exist, but Safari definitely feels closer to it than FF or Chrome do. They get all the add-on stuff right, while Safari gets the fundamentals right.

> Terminal is almost good but somehow it doesn't vertically stretch to 100% height when I automatically hide my dock.

Bizarre. I'm a dock-hider (carried over from being a start-menu-hider on Windows for years and years) and hadn't noticed that. If I open a terminal window and drag the bottom down, sure enough, there's a little bit at the bottom I can't get it to go past. Oddly, if I use Spectacle to "maximize" it or send it to the left or right half of the screen, it manages to go a little lower (still not quite all the way!), but then the top has a tiny gap, like it's splitting the bottom gap between the top and bottom. Thanks, now that will bug me forever :-) I wonder if it's got something to do with line height?

> Pages and Numbers are decent but no one else uses it, so I have to keep my Office 365 subscription to use Office in the browser.

Yeah, it's no Office replacement if you need Office. I'm fortunate that it's just for my own use or for generating PDFs. They're like Abiword and Gnumeric on Linux (which were what I preferred over the bloated mess of OpenOffice on that platform) in that they're relatively lightweight but still fairly capable—except they don't crash as much and just, you know, work better.

> Preview surely is a godsend when other OS can't somehow make the same basic app for almost 2 decades?

It's straight up stupid that Preview can be an actual selling point for macOS in the year 2022, and yet, I can't point to a single similar program (or even just a PDF reader) on another desktop OS that's even close to it, and I've used tons of them over the years.
> The lack of understanding around this in some of the comments is really eye opening to me.

I had my own physical bullying experiences in school, fortunately nothing constant. There was no way to get any help either (or maybe my uneducated and inexperienced kid brain just did not know any better), so I know the feeling of helplessness at least.

But you mention PTSD, which is really really severe. As I said, are we talking about some extreme cases here? How frequent are those?

The points made was as I see it for much less severe than "PTSD stage" things. When you get to PTSD it's criminal level and I don't think that this is what those people you claim have "lack of understanding" assumed was what we were talking about. I certainly didn't, and I still don't. I think extreme cases are something else.

This isn't going to result in a huge increase in Netflix subscribers. The reason that people share passwords is because somebody wants access but doesn't want to pay. Eliminate the password sharing is a reasonable business action from Netflix so that they are not providing additional infrastructure demands to support non-paying customers. But I would suspect that only 10-20% of those people sharing passwords will result in new subscriptions if they find ways to accurately block them. The rest will just abandon the platform, because it was never something that they were willing to pay for in the first place.
"Marketing" usually means getting people to know about your product or service and getting them through the door.

If the owner has people sitting there and wants them to purchase more, that's more increasing average revenue per user which is limited. How much coffee can someone drink? If someone drinks a plain coffee, getting them to upgrade to a higher margin sugary drink is hard. You can push food and snacks, but that's also limited since you're not a restaurant and the person can only eat so many pastries or dry goods. For every one customer sitting down there are likely 10 customers that come in during that time. Why focus on the person sitting down?

Getting more people in the door is probably an easier way to get more revenue. Especially considering the amount of people that can sit around all day versus the amount of people that can walk by and pick up a cup of coffee to go. In that regard, competition is definitely a huge factor. If a coffee shop has a 15 minute wait while another one is 5 minutes, I would likely pick the faster one. You can prefer one brand to another, but service is a huge factor.

Product Hunt, from the beginning, was a way for investors/VCs to launder credibility and endorsement with an affiliated product without disclosure.

Now that PH has lost that particular influence over the years (which to be fair they tried to pivot many times as a result), it's just the actual bad products that are left.
I've heard about issues coming out of Samsung for years too. I don't think these are things nobody knows about, but often they're not exactly common knowledge. Often it's hearsay and rumours from unconfirmed sources with the occasional article that goes under in all the noise or is otherwise brushed aside by the larger public. It's very hard to judge how accurate or relevant a certain news report is, or how biased or misinformed it might be, so it's easier to dismiss it.
" the effects of which I'm still working through 15 years later."

" slide into my DMs like a thirsty fuckboy trying to curry favour in my Insta inbox."

" Did this person look me up and realise that I'm actually pretty hot? "

Got to love this type of writing. Feels a bit dramatic, but don't know their relationship.

I once said something that was a saying I used all the time, but was highly offensive to a friend (very rightly, as soon as I said it I realized it could be taken the wrong way). We never talked again. I was too embarrassed and immature to know how to apologize.

I ended up crossing paths with her on facebook and sent a friend request. She accepted. I've sometimes felt that an apology can be an intrusion - I've not msg'ed her at all. But to say I felt better is a huge understatement. She is happy and married with two kids so that was even better to see. I'm married with two kids too.

There are perhaps 3-4 people I feel bad about how I treated them. One was in elementary school when I was maybe in 3rd grade. I hope they all went on to do amazing things.

Can someone feel badly about what they did? For sure. I wouldn't mind if one or two folks who bullied me said hey man, I'm sorry about it. I'd say don't worry. But even more I wish I'd never been an occasional total jerk.
If everything is hostile to your sensitivities, at what point are businesses, customers or polite people no longer obligated to accommodate you?
Not all uppercase characters have just one lowercase representation, and not all lowercase characters have an uppercase character. If you try to make the addresses case insensitive, you're bound to run into unnecessary complexities at some point.

Email addresses aren't case insensitive in nature, but many commercial mail services (and misguided developers) assume they are.
On top of those, these are translated ~nonsense~ text that aren’t suited for translation. Most likely a list of English texts are handed to translators without intended use cases or extra contexts well communicated to them. Some of texts are only correct in literal sense only or acceptably only in translated literature only, and still passing reviews.

Edit: “nonsense” was way too harsh of a word
I wonder if it used to be a lot more common before the culture got so paranoid. In which case maybe the shift was warranted.
I think normalising emails is equally important these days, esp if you are offering any sort of free trial on your website (that incurs a cost to the seller) as it has become quite common for freeloaders to create dozens of accounts using the dots and plus signs just to abuse the free services.

I was well into high school before I realized that many supposed many class bullies teased everyone, and especially their friends. From their perspective they often meant their teasing to be playful rather than hateful, but recipients of teasing could take it either way.
for some users there is a "showdead" option in your profile settings. set it to yes, if the option is available for you. it might be based on karma, but HN has a lot of anti-patterns.

this will show you flagged and shadowbanned comments. someone is shadowbanned if all their comments are not visible by default. its kind of unique that there is an option for us to see those comments.

you can always check if you are shadowbanned by viewing your profile or a recent thread you commented on in an incognito browser. always useful to check.
I'm not American either, but after having lived here for a couple years, I can say that across the board, Americans are _obsessed_ with race. Folks on both the right and left continuously come up with new and interesting ways to pit people against each other for the colour of their skin, it's almost surreal how pervasive it's become.
Yes, I grew up in China (but I won't say that my experience represents Chinese schools in general; I was probably just lucky).

Comments like these boggle my mind. This is news. This is reporting. Literally taking what is done and sharing it with the masses: X did Y. That's it.

You can start by using Unreal 5 with Nanite.

Yes it isn't quite the same thing, it is however a good example of what Web 3D APIs will never offer, not in 2022, or even in a decade.

Startup and their campaign are ending the throw-away world LetsFixFirst
Did you ever fix a product? Now you can. Today, the “LetsFixFirst” campaign went live which calls on consumers and businesses to take circular action as a link to climate action. Examples include pledging to fix a product, to only use refurbished ones and voting for the right-to-repair. It further calls for action at work or learning how to fix products. The campaign was initiated by startup FixFirst and runs as part of this year's Earth Day but it will stay as a place for action and to find circular services beyond that. Partners include many (inter)national organizations.

>In fact, a hypothetical student debt forgiveness event like GP was discussing would punish those who responsibly paid off their student debts relative to similar-earning classmates who did not.

Punish how? This word keeps being used but it does not fit any definition of punish I'm familiar with. I'm not being obtuse.

Some background of where I'm coming from: Worked 40+hrs/week for $7.25 to $10/hr from 2005 to 2009 to get a four year degree from a state school. Graduated with $35,000 in student loan debt myself and about $20,000 in debt through Parent Plus loans. My parents sent me some money for rent on occasion, but overall -- that's how I di it.

I also paid off all my student loans, and my parent plus loans.

If someone graduated with $100,000 debt because they partied all the time, didn't work, and tomorrow Biden just gave them a tax-free forgiveness....

I am not punished by this. At all. It has no impact on my life whatsoever. I made the best choice I could make with my circumstances, and I paid off my loans because at the time that was the best way to secure my future. The day before the party-guy got his $100k write-off and the day after, I wake up in the same house, with the same car, with the same job, with the same spouse. My life doesn't change at all.
I'm strongly against student loan forgiveness, but I support this measure. Society offers a life vest in the form of bankruptcy to people who are financially drowning. That's as it should be. No need for new, ad hoc solutions to this problem.
