Simple and potentially useful but I think that nosleep.js itself uses the Screen Wake Lock API when available, so maybe it's still overkill using it just as a fallback and writing other code on top of it.

Besides, it's a shame that iOS still doesn't support this API. The video-hack has too many drawbacks and this feature would be very useful for a certain kind of PWAs.
I assume half of Reddit is only fans type content too.
Nothing made me quit NPR, i just prefer to consume it in the same form as most of my news-related stuff, in written form. Nothing against listening or watching it, i just find it easier to process things like that by reading.

With that in mind, i guess i mostly meant "people you actually talk to or hear talking not in public news media" when i said that i dont ever hear it said outloud.
Got it, yea seems this is more valuable in a big data context or when actively pressed up against scale limitations of a DB deployment. Funny on the the last piece as well - appreciate the thoughts here!

When I read that phrase I presume they mean Netflix's first-party content, not content being licensed.
This is a shockingly explicit attack by the government on the right to free speech. Florida has come right out and said that they are doing this to punish Disney for expressing a position on legislation. If the constitutional right to free speech doesn't mean that someone can criticize a law without lawmakers punishing them, then what does it mean?
I much prefer to binge it’s cheaper and easier to fit into your life. Finished a project and have a break? Turn Netflix back on, binge, cancel. I guess I don’t watch TV to talk about it with friends though.
Deliberately bypassing that puts your employment at risk. There's a reason you're being forced to log in.

In the States, payroll firms like ADP handle this all the time. For outside the States, make the remote worker a 1099.
I think it is more like a cold war where the other that you open yourself towards could destroy you by putting the wrong picture or video online at any moment.

Having that trust in an other person can be quite difficult in an generation where everything is, and has to be on social media.

Insteon isn't closed - it had an open and documented protocol and was supported by various software. It did not require "the cloud" either. The problem with Insteon is it was low quality hardware, not a very reliable protocol and there was a lack of good software.
summon is the wildest energy. its like handing your keys to a feral racoon on bath salts.

i once had to file a claim after a tesla on summon backed out of its parking space and directly over my motorcycle, crushing it against a barrier wall with such unrelenting force it pushed the cylinder head covers into the gas tank. this claim was a real tit spanner because the owners cut-rate insurance company flat-out refused to cover it since the driver wasnt in the car. it took nearly a year of subrogation but mercifully they settled.
People who make decisions about these things collaborate continuously from the beginning to the end of every workday. They do not ever put their heads down personally. They know on some level that their subordinates need to do it, but usually position themselves against it, instead looking to make connections and generate new meetings to displace focus-work time. They live every day absolutely terrified that two of their subordinates might be toiling alone on related problems instead of meeting with each other about them, and do everything possible to prevent this kind of tragedy by strongly encouraging every meeting that might add any value.

It's "maker's schedule, manager's schedule" - you don't need power-hungriness or real estate cost calculation to explain why management types prefer the office, it's just inherent to their worldview and the kind of work they do. Don't like it? Try to build a company whose managers do not come from the management community, and try to prevent them from developing this kind of mindset even as circumstances make it optimal for them. Good luck.

Revert to the previous version. Push as new version. Fixed? SVN was used widely and for years, prior to git. I remember the biggest problem being expensive (full copy) branching.
MLK explicitly supported affirmative action and other programs designed explicitly to benefit black people in order to make up for past discrimination. I suspect he would be tired of being used as a justification for absolute colorblindness.
"we went from "I wanna hold your hand" to Cardi-B's WAP."

You must not have been around for what the 80's/early 90's had churned out. Any number of songs from 2 Live Crew and Too Short make WAP seem tame by comparison.

Despite the moral panic at the time surrounding those groups/artists, we still managed to survive and grow as a country, and especially with regards to free speech.
It's one of my interview questions when applying for a job. I say something along the lines: "I know this is a ridiculous question, but do you 1) use version control and 2) what version control do you use" and then explain I have to ask these questions becz of obvious reasons.
This looks so much better. There are actual engineering reasons to prefer it this way listed in the article, and although they are pretty unimportant, why not make it the best we can? 45 degree angles as a rule feel rather cargo-cultish.
What ever, you are always better customizing your search with Google Search... Google is still the king of search, but you have to know how to utilize it. Forget about any other search engine. It baffles me that HN a community of nerds still doesn't know how to use Google Search. Kept it coming.
Not sure how to respond here. Are you implying that people don't kill civilians for geopolitical goals? Like how Putin is doing now? Or that suicide bombers are a religious thing? Kamikaze Fighters? The assassination of Alexander II?

I'm not saying religion isn't a tool for executing these goals, but the orchestrators have always been acting under geopolitical goals.
I think it would have been interesting if Netflix had shopped around its tech stack, kind of how companies that make games can also sell game-making engines.

Maybe they could have had a huge windfall by offering to be the “AWS” behind every “$CHANNEL+” streaming service. In other words, instead of having 14 kludgey apps that all suck in at least one way, we get 14 services but with a smooth implementation.

I don’t see how content is a long-term win for them.
The Hold the button down is one way of using Smart Summon and it's not the default way. The default way has the car moving forward until you hit stop or it detects something in the way.
Oh, that's due to violence? I thought because it evokes phallic associations, as when someone is well hung.
I can't even imagine what the supposed offense is here?

The bill bans the discussions of sexuality, correct? If accurate, which I believe it is, then a teacher changed their name because they got married, say a man taking his wife's/husband's last name or a woman taking her husband's/wife's last name then telling their students something about their sexuality in the vast majority of cases would it not?

The general rule of thumb seems to be that treatments increase the lifespan of animals inversely to their size.

Several promising treatments suggest that if fruit fly and smaller have 2X - 3X lifespan increase, then mice have 20-30%, and finally monkeys and humans get just 3-5%.

Tungsten doesn't seem especially heavy; it's a little less than gold.
I see what you mean now and I've been there. FWIW, blocking out a little time for myself daily - e.g., early in the morning - has transformed me. Just a little time where I am the highest priority (obviously not true in extreme circumstances, but I mean have the discipline and seriousness to make it true 99% of the time) has made an enormous difference in my productivity and my ability to be close to loved ones. The loved ones are especially happy with the results.

Also, with the demands of time, I (mostly) cut out unhealthy coping and relaxation and replaced it with healthy things I love - e.g., someone might cut out drinking and replace it with bicycle riding, if they like it. I define 'unhealthy' by asking, 'will I feel better when I'm done with this activity than when I started?' It took awhile to find healthy activities I love, but that was just a matter of exploring options, which was healthy and enjoyable itself. There's just no time for the unhealthy stuff.

Finally, I felt I wasn't cognitively as flexible as I used to be, and I watched what flexible young people do (and studied other sources), and made sure that 'me time', and other activities when possible, includes exploration - following my nose or my passion, without a defined destination. That also has made an enormous difference.

Others' mileage will vary, but I hope that helps someone!

As a white man in tech, I often ask myself “do we want to hire more white men?” When I’ve interviewed 5 white guys in a row, for a team comprised of mostly/all white guys, that kind of reflection is important.

I’m not trying to discount your experience in any way and it’s certainly possible that everything you’re describing was actually toxic but I don’t see over-indexing on diversity is as problem in and of itself.

Diverse perspectives are an asset, full stop, and representation matters. Our industry clearly does not know how to address this in a way that makes everyone happy so, in the meantime, if the only reason I’m passed over for a job is because I’m over-represented there, so be it.
I've pretty much given up on KiCad. LibrePCB has a much easier UI, KiCad is essentially the Vim of PCBs.

Libre is already good enough in all ways except the fact you have to make a lot of parts yourself(Which is pretty fast, but still), for anything simple.

Anything it can't do, is probably a high budget kind of thing and you can afford the really good tools(But Libre might get there too, if it keeps going for another 5 years)

This isn't some debate where you can score cheap points on technicalities. Frankly comments like this lower the quality of the discussion.

If you want to know why D&I is an issue, it's because it is re-entrenching all of the stereotypes by hamhandedly trying to give everyone different handicaps, like life can be simplified to a game of golf. The reality, though, is that it doesn't matter what handicap I'm given, due to my poor golf game I'm never going to play against Tiger Woods.

The only thing the handicaps change is what we're measuring, and at some point people decide not to play the game, or lobby to change the rules. Look at the resurgence of the far right: it is D&I which gave them the resentment in people's souls to which they could place their hooks.
Literally parroting /pol/ talking points that guy was
"part of the culture".

See, this is the whole issue right here.
It's not about a single culture. It's hundreds.
This wordlist is for global products with literally billions of users in literally hundreds of countries.

Yes, it requires experts to know what will be inoffensive to all of them at once (or at least, the vast majority).

Your "narrow unknown group of people" is really "people who are experts at language and culture and understand this".

Paying and asking them to help figure out how to create common standards that will cover the majority of the hundreds of cultures at once does not seem cultish or militant at all to me?

It is something literally every single company with literally billions of global users in hundreds of cultures does.

Otherwise they end up naming their product something offensive to a culture, etc.

News stories about those gaffes occur literally all the time, so i'm sort of shocked you are really trying to argue that trying to avoid them is somehow cultish.

I am probably one of the least "politically correct" people you will find, and i'm not even all that progressive in the scheme of things, yet this clearly makes sense to me.
So I look at this, and see HN having a huge overreaction because they are upset the world is becoming a lot more politically correct for no obvious benefit.

That bothers me too - a lot in fact. I just don't see the particular thing complained about in this part of the thread (a wordlist used to ensure google doesn't say offensive things in product documentation) all that objectionable.

The original article, about offensive/inclusive/etc AI writing nudges, bothers me about 1000x more than the wordlist.
Hopefully LibreOffice doesn't adopt this sort of thing.
Coincidentally, AWS has a video streaming service already: https://aws.amazon.com/ivs/

The animation is still annoying and distracting to the other users who don’t need the incremental reassurance. A “Testimonials” link to a separate testimonials page would be perfectly adequate, for those users who are interested in that. It even has the benefit that they can read through the testimonials at their own pace, and that you can include longer testimonials that wouldn’t fit in the carousel box.
Yeah, fair point. Unless your social circles include ultratwittered people and/or media personalities you'll likely never hear it in meatspace-- even living in the bay area.
But a language relying so heavily on IDE means that the language is severely lacking.

People not using said "modern" IDEs are just stuck out of using the language. Is this progress?
Even with modern IDEs, there is a difference between what different IDEs do. So now the language is stuck with different IDEs doing different things. Is the progress?

It also means that anyone developing a future IDE can no longer support these languages without support. Is this progress?

God forbid someone tries python on a new architecture where new the entire complex toolchain is not going to be available. They just can't use this language. Is this progress?
> With substantial hardware effort, Google was able to avoid interference, but additional isolation features could allow this to be done at higher efficiency with less effort.

This is surprising to me. Running any workload that's not your own will trash the CPU caches and will make your workload slower.

Consider for example your performance sensitive code has nothing to do for the next 500 microseconds. If the core runs some other best effort work, it will trash the CPU caches, so that after that 500 microseconds, even when that other work is immediately preempted by the kernel, your performance sensitive code is now dealing with a cold cache.
The problem is the best thing to detoxify is your bodies organs and healthy function of them should be priority numero uno.

I think fad diets are the terrority where it gets a bit unreasonable (juice cleanses?). Chakra/Qi cleanses?
So now you are going to create complex types and then create aliases for them? What are we even developing at this point?

Upgraded to it via do-release-upgrade -d and for the most part it went smooth. I had to reinstall pulseaudio and some bluetooth connection profiles as wireless headphones completely broke - they would connect twice in a row with failing audio (thus reinstall pulseaudio), then at some point, they wouldn't connect at all (thus reinstall bluetooth connection profile).

Previous upgrades didn't had such problems. This with the KDE desktop on a desktop machine running old Ryzen.

Compare the current digital rental prices to taking yourself to the theater. While the digital rental rate is high, it is less than one ticket for admission. If you buy concessions, it only goes up. If you take someone else, it gets higher. That one digital rental starts to look less steep from this vantage point. That being said, I still don't do the digital rental.

The idea is precisely that you want to avoid pinging main memory at all, which is possible (in the happy case) if you do things correctly with DDIO. Not everything is done in hardware where I am. I am wary of saying much because my employer frowns on it, and admittedly I work on the software more than the hardware, but DDIO is certainly important to us.

I don't have a real formed opinion yet on the latter.

For the former, it's none of the things you say, and AFAICT, you have precisely zero knowledge of either the decision making process, or how it is used, etc.

The Florida Department of Health recently released new guidelines stating "Social gender transition should not be a treatment option for children or adolescents." [0]

For those unaware, "social gender transition", in addition to changing their pronouns and name, would be things like a trans girl switching to wearing dresses or growing out her hair, or a trans boy cutting his hair or wearing boy's clothes, or engaging in gender-stereotyped interests like dolls, or any other sort of action the kid finds gender-affirming. It does not include any medical procedures. There is no conceivable benefit to the child of preventing this, and it could prevent them from doing many actions that in cisgender children would be seen as ordinary nonconformance to gender stereotypes.

That it is included alongside a ban on puberty blockers and hormones and a ban on gender reassignment surgery, and an exception to that for intersex people (which intersex advocates oppose, because some doctors will perform unnecessary and risky surgeries on intersex babies to "correct" their genitals before they can consent), shows that all of these have the same goal: enforcing gender conformity.
