> The colour contrast of the title section fails all tests.

It doesn't. The background color is --color-blue: #3b4bbf and the SVG's fill color is --color-blue-tint: #d4d8f2, a 5.1:1 contrast ratio.

Having the top-level page titles replicated as such giant SVGs is probably overdoing it but the user also has the page title in the browser tab and the word "Checklist" underlined in the main navigation to locate themselves (the actual h1 heading for the page is visually hidden contains "Checklist."

I didn't find a viewport size/shape that had the overlapping you're describing, maybe their design has a problem they didn't find and you could report it to them [0].

> I also thought uppercase text-transform was best avoided

Do you mean on "Check your WCAG compliance?" Making all the text on a page or full sentences all uppercase can make it hard to read, I don't think you have to pretend `text-transform: uppercase` doesn't exist. It's definitely better to use the property to make text uppercase as a design choice vs. actually writing the text using all capital letters, at least some of the time browsers and assistive technologies can treat them differently.

I think the A11y Project in particular tries to reach designers and developers who often think "accessibility" means making sites plain, boring, and/or ugly. Therefore, they've adopted a design that is more capital "D" Designed on their top-level pages; that may mean not making everything maximally accessible 100% of the time. Additionally, people will always disagree about design choices.

>The bill would eliminate minors’ access to any algorithmically generated navigation aids, such as “top content” and “hot items” lists. It would also eliminate home pages that are algorithmically organized, whether personalized to individual users or not, which would be replaced by a list of items presented chronologically (presumably in reverse chronological order if allowed because chronological order prioritizes the oldest content, which is rarely what users want). Assuming minors can subscribe to other users’ content, they will have to subscribe sparingly to avoid being overwhelmed by an incoming flow of content unhelpfully organized solely by date. The minors would also have to constantly review the content to avoid missing something important (remember, popular or important content wouldn’t be highlighted, so it could be easily missed).

Sorry for the snark, but could I change my age to 17 to get access to this? Sounds like a dream feature.
From the transcript it looked like the passenger had a lot of trouble giving out his phone number as well as getting the phone number from ATC. I wonder if it would make more sense for him to dial 911 on his cell phone instead given the emergency situation and have dispatch deal with routing him to the necessary help.
> where while also closed source, at least you knew that bugs would probably get fixed.

Yeah, I waited just 18 months (IIRC) for proper DisplayPort DPMS signalling, so my monitor can sleep.

Linux driver bugs get fixed, albeit accidentally.
You can toggle 'showdead' if you're logged in on your user page.

That shows dead comments with a color and text indicator when enabled.
Because to make a driver work with Linux you have to add Linux-specific code that typically uses Linux's source code, and that combination of the driver and Linux-specific code could be considered a "derivative".

Note that the word "derivative" is used here as defined by the license, not in its plain English meaning.

> I wrote "would allow to force", not that it forces.

Ah sorry, must have misread my bad. All the same I'm not seeing how this plays into why it should be forced, the phone is just half the story (the CLAT) and if the enterprise wanted to implement 464XLAT they can PD and run a NAT64 gateway. If they don't then it's not going to work just because the device has enough addresses to be a CLAT as there is no NAT64 gateway. Or if they just want their devices to dual stack or single stack v6 instead why does Android get to decide they need to support something they aren't using?

> Unless you are turning Android device into router, you won't need PD support there. What else you need prefix delegation for?

The prefix for 464XLAT or to allow tethering. DHCPv6-PD is how you do this when you're not using SLAAC.

This would effectively ban minors from the Internet. And many walled gardens.

EDIT: There’s a case to be made for it! The Internet, especially social media, is as powerful as illicit drugs and probably impacts development. But IMHO, this should be up to parents to decide, and I think the lawmakers probably have no clue the extent of this kind of rule would be.
I certainly agree that it gives you a much broader sense of agency. especially when you get to the point you can fire clients for just not being good to work with (generally wanting the final results but not wanting to put in the organizational effort)

it can have the opposite effect on the down times. no one is looking after you to make sure to make rent, and alot of engineers don't have the kind of training or personality that lends to cold calling. at least I don't...I can't even imagine what that would look like for systems programmers - "oh hi, I'm just calling to see if you need any device drivers written". ".......uh..."

The claim was that Musk's companies haven't "built" anything. Versions of Starship have clearly been built and launched, even if the project is still in development. It's a very real project and anyone can watch its developmental progress live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg

I doubt you or anyone else would bet significant money that Starship won't reach orbit. If so, I'd be happy to accept.

For the record, I don't think you can point to any project even remotely equivalent in terms of capability or progress from Boeing, Lockheed, or ULA. I'd be happy if they were doing nearly as well as SpaceX.

My other examples: Starlink, Tesla, and Dragon have clearly been "built" and shipped. Starlink is the hands of consumers, is actively helping Ukraine for military and humanitarian purposes, Tesla has shipped millions of vehicles, and Dragon Crew had another successful rendezvous with ISS days ago.

I could spend a lot more time providing examples but consider these to be more than sufficient to disprove the claim that Elon Musk's companies haven't "actually built anything he announces" in "years".

The value of knowledge has not decreased, and I would say that knowledge is more valuable than ever. What has decreased is the quality of much of the information that is widely available. For certain searches or websites people are likely to be driven towards misinformation and sites promoting conspiracy theories. The signal to noise ratio of much information is now more noise than signal.

Click bait is the perfect example of this. You see an ad telling you about a story that sounds interesting, so you click the link. Suddenly you are drawing in to a website with 1 sentence of text per page that you want to read surrounded by crappy ads and pop-ups. You want to know how the story panned out, but are overwhelmed by the garbage. Lesson learned, but how do I teach Google to stop showing me that crap?

Personally, I think this all comes down to the cost of publishing. When a publisher had to shell out real money to print a book by an author, there was an incentive for the publisher to hire editors that did a good job of making sure the books they printed were of value (the same applies to newspapers). When the marginal cost of putting a news story on a website is $0, there's not really any point in hiring an editor anymore.

The same parallel exists in the phone network today. Back in the 1980s when it cost $0.34 per minute to make a long distance call, the people calling you probably thought twice before calling. Today's VoIP networks charging less than a penny a minute have enabled farms of robocallers to harass you with garbage calls. The near zero cost of international calls means that call centers in poor countries can profitably harass the elderly in rich companies with endless new scams.

Again, the same pattern exists with videos. 20 years ago a slickly produced video took time and money to produce. Now any teenager with a phone or laptop can throw a bunch of clips together, add some voice over and hit publish without spending a penny.

The only path I see forward from here is that this entire situation will get worse. Technologies like GPT-3 are amazing, but they come with a cost: it becomes cheaper to write walls of text. People will use it or perhaps are using it to create websites devoid of real content. Search engines that are already having trouble distinguishing between real thoughtful content and the wasteland of content farms will have an even harder time to produce relevant results for search requests.

I hate to say, but we were better off when the cost of people's attention was much greater than $0.
The 'certification' is coming from a decentralized network of computers running the blockchain and underlying cryptocurrency.

Ask HN: What are some good ways to create a complex family tree?
I hope this constitutes a worthy Ask HN topic.

As a family side project I'm trying to recreate my families' (maternal and paternal) trees into one big giant picture.

Currently I'm drawing a diagram in draw.io/diagrams.net, but it gets messy, it requires alot of manual interventions of placing nodes as they come to my attention, it's hard to add information and possibly graphics depending on edge cases (e.g. cohabits but no children, multiple marriages/children with different fathers...) and make it all look nice and pretty.

I've searched HN and found one or two nice applications that do seem nice, but really doesn't seem to handle the complexity I'm trying to deal with.

At this point, I'm considering using some kind of graph database and just let everything order itself out nice and evenly, but I have little experience with graph databases and don't know what my options are in terms of adding information and possibly attaching images (person photo) to various nodes and make it nice and tidy and printable.

As a side note I'm considering skipping the whole diagram thing and just use a well-linked mediawiki or something instead with templates for family members parents/children/siblings along with other info. This approach seems pretty good, but judging by the fact that I'm the only one in my family doing this and knowing wiki markup and stuff, I'd imagine this would be a daunting task as well.

Have anyone else done visually appealing family trees before with great complexity? I'd like to have fields/information as DOB, DOD, given names, surname and eventual past surnames, and relationships (child of / parent of, married to, cohabited with, one night standed with causing a child.....).

Roughly I'm at 110 nodes/persons at the moment, spanning over eight or nine generations [0], and adding information, nodes and stuff in draw.io just doesn't seem convenient or easy enough for what I one day hope to be a 'finished product', i.e. a nice and intuitive image I can print out on anything between A2-A3 page size and distribute to family members.

Surely someone on HN has done something like this before? What are the pitfalls (e.g. should I skip both maternal and paternal linage and concentrate on one side of the family)? Are there any obvious solutions I'm missing? Am I right to take the approach of doing a diagram for visual / esthetic reasons, or would the use of say a mediawiki/wiki instance outweigh the visual niceness, allowing other information (anecdotes, family members' reminiscence of dead relatives etc.) maybe make it a better choice? Or is there something else completely?

not sure how anyone can recommend boxing now ; all those interactions require the right social environment, things can go wrong quickly. I reflect on learning about places in the USA where they take wrestling seriously, which at the time seemed like low-income, blue collar sort of places.. but now I realize that the social interaction between men there was rugged, but they had norms and ways to regain equilibrium. Meanwhile multi-cultural urban school, really a bad idea to have regular and repeated situations where students strike others, IMHO.

Ya, therapy. But, short answer, stoicism / CBT, at least narrowly. Focus on what you can control. Check out the dichotomy of control. Do your best to be a positive influence. Give your work what is fair, but no more.

I am honestly thinking about working actively on this problem. Right now, the information is spread out across several websites and databases. The best way that I have discovered is to find local to your state organizations that serve as stewards for native plants. At least in my state, there are at least three, and these places are normally non-profit organizations that also sell the native plants which are also grown in your state, making them a great choice. We just got our house last year and a yard to go with it, and it's my plan this year to go along with these local organizations to purchase all my native plants. I use the app Picture This to identify plants that are currently in my yard to know which ones I want to remove and replace with native plants. The app will often tell you where the plant is native to, and if not, I research it online.

Not sure but it's a reasonable question. I'm willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt and guess that they have generally implemented it in as light a way as possible, but that said sometimes it probably causes dire performance problems to outright breakage.
