A few months ago I tried a few KDE kwin scripts.

Ultimately I went with 'Ultrawide Windows' [1], mostly because I like it better than the defaults and at the same time it is still simple to use. The Github page gives an impression of its capabilities and lists the hotkeys, but it is also available via the KDE integrated tools [2]. What I am still missing is a tool to simply define and use custom layouts.

Related. Do any of these libraries give a “read” API? Not just for metadata but also the main text itself. I have some apps planned around it but data has been gating factor for me.
Before these there used to be street vendors that would storm to anyone getting out a park to get the partially used ticket, they would then try to gift them to new parkers in exchange for a tip. It was quite annoying but entering the license plate and generally using these things is way worse.
That’s really neat. I want to expose some self hosted services externally. Is this a good option? I see that there’s a free plan. How’s it working for you?
>>US states cannot just ignore federal law

They absolutely can and do. State government are under no compulsion to enforce federal law, nor do they have aid federal law enforcement. Sure the FBI can still arrest you but as a practical matter the federal government relies heavily on local law enforcement for support in their efforts and task forces.

The state governments can neuter federal enforcement by refusing to supply personnel and equipment or other support to federal law enforcement task forces and actions

Conversely the federal government also supplies (i.e bribes) local law enforcement with money, and gear to grease the wheel for that support.

The supremacy you are referring to with the Supreme court is about when Federal Law and State law conflict then Federal law would win over State Law. Personally I think this is bad but until there is a constitutional amendment to change it that is the reality. However that supremacy does not mean state law enforcement or governments must enforce federal law, only that they can not overrule/supplant a federal law with their own

>> A topical and obvious example is that the current Roe vs. Wade controversy just couldn't happen in the EU - as it's unrelated to trade or competition

Well according to the Current Draft our federal government did not have the power either. It is funny you mention trade, you do know that ACA is a trade regulation the constitutional power that allows ACA to exist is the interstate commerce clause of the US Constitution, that was MASSIVELY expanded in power by the court in the abomination / disgraceful 1942 Wickard decision which effectively made every activity a commercial interstate activity that can be regulated by the federal government.

Personally if the court is in the mood for over turning precedent someone should take a case to them aimed squarely at over turning that abomination, putting the federal government back into their proper scope and place
I've only used this in the Files app, which makes sense because you're making files. I'm not sure if it exists in the camera app as well.

I don't think that's the case. You should be able to take a Lebera or Lycamobile SIM and use it immediately, buying additional credit on vouchers from kiosks.

It's years since I did this, but it's the way for visitors and immigrants to get a Danish phone number before they even have a CPR number.

I very strongly doubt people are “watching him study”, more likely they’re studying along at the same time. This isn’t very different from a peloton class or a fitness instructor having people work out with them - he’s setting the pace with the pomodoro timer, setting the mood with unobtrusive music and keeping everyone accountable by doing it himself and setting an example.
You're missing the key takeaway. The issue is not that you misread a comment. The issue is that your reply is non-substantive, and that you would have picked up on that, had you entered the discussion with a healthy, productive attitude, rather than the attitude you apparently came in with, of "how can I show myself to have superior knowledge?"

Let's say you hadn't misread the comment (i.e. it was as you originally perceived). Would your reply be helpful then? No. The parent was obviously suggesting that managers face workplace abuses that could be remedied by unionization. Even if they had said "join the union" -- as you leaped at the chance to correct -- was your comment substantively replying to this (actual) point?

No, it wasn't. Whatever the structure of unions-as-they-exist, the proposed solution most assuredly does not involve "join a union that prohibits you". So the existence of unions that prohibit managers isn't relevant. At most, if you really needed to show off your knowledge, you could have said something like:

"That might help -- but, nitpick, it would probably have to be a separate union from 'the' one representing warehouse workers, as there are reasons that US unions separate out representation by role. <insert historic and legal context>."

But then, phrasing your objection appropriately like that makes its value to the conversation seem even more dubious. Whether or not unions prevent this kind of manager abuse is irrelevant to the implementation details of how those managers unionize.

>I feel like you're kinda throwing stones in a glass house

No, the situations aren't the same. You recognize your comment would be irrelevant had you correctly read the comment you were replying to. But even if I had read your full comment, my reply would still be relevant, as a guideline for how to notice when you might have misread someone, and how to ensure that you're substantively replying to a charitable reading of someone's remarks. That advice is still relevant, and still serves as a useful takeaway.

One of the best classical guitarists I have ever met is homeless, living on the street, but provides extreme value to everyone within earshot. Doesn’t he deserve a bank account to safely store the few dollars he makes playing Mozart, Beethoven, and other works of art on the street? Would you rather he gets mugged by some criminals and loses everything he earned that day, week, month?
I believe the exit interview is to ensure that you understand the consequences, sign papers that are motorized, make sure you pay your taxes, etc.

I'm sure they can reject your exit if you haven't finished paying taxes owed or you seem under duress or mental impairment. But absent that (or maybe similar reasons you wouldn't let someone sign a contract) I don't think they can.

Oh wait, example.com sends me a encrypted key, that I decrypt and then use? That sounds ... odd.

Not at all. The caution about attributing human concepts to other animals is that they can have an arbitrarily different brain organization in such a way that stretches those notions beyond what we usually take them to mean. Does a tiger experience joy? If it does, what does joy feel like to a tiger? Is bird song language? What are they saying? That last question is obviously begging the question, are they saying anything? Is "saying" something that more than humans can do, or when we refer to the word "say" do we only apply it to humans expressing human concepts? We don't even know if the concepts we use to describe minds are even valid, or if they are just products of introspection. This, along with the fact that other abstract aspects of the human condition are also on shaky ground when you change the underlying substrate those aspects emerge from, means that it's not clear that animals have those same exact aspects in their species-specific condition, and if they do have some similar aspects, those aspects can be quite different than what we'd find in humans, with completely different sets of states. TL;DR We hardly know if you and I see the same red, let alone if a tiger and a human feel the same joy.
In fish, if I type ls -<tab>, I get a history based autocomplete suggestion (ls -l), and also a summary of options with brief descriptions:

ls -l
-1 (List one entry per line)
-A --almost-all (Show hidden except . and ..)
-a --all (Show hidden)
-B --ignore-backups (Ignore files ending with ~)
…and 51 more rows

I can use the arrow keys to cycle into the "and more rows section, or type further to narrow the list. zsh supports similar.

In Powershell, if I type Get-ChildItem -<tab>

It just cycles through options apparently abitrarily. The first suggestion is "-Path", and it offers no facility to provide explanatory information.

In what is possibly the most British thing ever, there is a volunteer group called the The Tree Register that catalogs all the best trees in the country and awards the exclusive status of "Champion Tree" to those specific trees.

Champion Trees get awarded a special blue plaque and are added to the national database. Then people who are so inclined can visit all the best specimens of each species.

"CHAMPION TREES are the tallest and fattest of their type and the database of 69,000+ champion trees is available online to members."

To be very cynical, HN isn’t a nonprofit we all donate to either: it’s the wholly funded pet project of an organization who teaches growth and engagement (and in fact from what I hear is quite strict with its companies on expected monthly growth rate)

That HN is a thoughtful garden unconcerned with the ugliness of ads and growth targets is also unsurprising to me, in the same way that a lot of open source and other charitable giving comes from companies who are already comfortably profitable.
I think it's a reasonable comparison: most open source licenses don't give you trademark rights. For example, see the "Trademarks" exclusion in the Apache 2.0 license.

When it comes to Pixabay content, most do not feature trademarks, or identifiable persons. That makes the Getty warranties moot.

Furthermore, their warranties have caveats ("your use of such content in accordance with this agreement"). If you use a stock photo with a model in an obscene or pornographic way, that automatically voids the Getty license and the warranty, the same way it automatically voids the Pixabay license.

> As for the "cost" of a Getty (or other) image license. Said cost of an image is far, far, FAR lower than being taken to court for rights infringement.

Yes, however, rightsholders don't go straight to court filings unless you're maybe doing a Superbowl commercial or something. They'd usually send you a letter of demand for $xxx for a retroactive license.

If this does happen to anyone, please reach out to info@pixabay.com or copyright@canva.com depending on where you got the content from; it's very rare but we do have a process and legal team that helps with this. And I can tell you: paid stock libraries (including Getty) deal with these too, and resolve it in essentially the same way we do.
> For recent years, L68 all-in comp is probably right around $1mm a year,

This is in stark contrast of how people below 67 got paid. Their packages have been visibly smaller than those of similar roles in FANNG-like companies. I think this is because resources will concentrate to the top as a company becomes bigger and older most likely because visibility disappears quickly among lower ranks and what they do individually hardly matters. If the theory is correct, the natural conclusion is that one should really seek a career in a fast-growing company unless they are great at navigating a big co's dynamics.
Highly recommend this episode, it was eye opening!

> I just want to eat and I want to get that out of the way as quickly as possible. For a nice meal, I'll go to a restaurant. I'm not interested in learning how to prepare my own food better, and all of these comments and the OP seems to forget that.

> You have cooking, I have coffee, programming, and looking at birds.

I used to be like this, eat as quickly as I could and whatever was quick enough that filled the hole in my stomach. You will likely pay for this later, and will have discussions with your dr about food freshness, processed foods and how horrible the food at even “heath food” restaurants is for you. Unless you want to live your life with gastrointestinal issues, change your attitude about cooking.
Yes! Love this for Windows, there are plugins for it too, similar to the plugins for macOS. Like you, QuickLook is one of my favorite and most-used macOS features and I cannot be on a system without it.

Between this project and PowerToys, the Windows experience is a lot more enjoyable.

PowerToys Run especially (essentially Alfred or QuickSilver for Windows), is much faster and better than standard Win-S searches.
Yes, like many things it's a hassle for the rule-abiding without being much of an obstacle for fraudsters.

If my company is using a standard tech stack - React/Angular on the front end, Java/Spring or C#/.Net Core on the backend or some similar popular framework - I can throw a rock at a recruiter and they can find me plenty of “good enough” developers who can “hit the ground running” well enough to do your standard full stack CRUD app

On the hiring side, why should I invest time for you to “grow” and do negative work in the beginning just for you to leave for another job?

Yes, I realize it’s the company’s fault for not offering competitive salaries to incentivize you to stay. But often as the (hypothetical) manager, that’s out of my hands.

I use PowerToys just for the easy key remapping, which I wish was a built-in feature in more keyboards. Works very nicely as a simple alternative to AutoHotKey. My RSI has gotten a lot better by just remapping Caps Lock to Ctrl.

If any PowerToys feature deserves to be added to Windows, it's gotta be the Keyboard Manager.
To me, there's a reasonable argument for a non-political head of state. If they want it to be a small-scale monarchy instead of a selected figure, that's up to the population that's affected. I would think a large-scale monarchy risks diverting cash from more pressing needs.

The commonwealth, on the other hand, is an organization struggling to find a purpose. What are the benefits of membership? Does it provide lowered immigration barriers amongst members? Can member population travel freely to other Commonwealth members? Is there a common foreign or trade policy? Is there member-specific trade assistance? I would not be surprised if this does not last too long post-Elizabeth II, and that the number of countries sharing the King/Queen of the UK as their head of state shrinks more quickly.

If a country insists on a monarchy as their head of state, they should be a citizen and resident of their state. Otherwise, that do not have formal complete sovereignty.

The problem is that there's ultimately no due diligence you can do on a utility bill that can't be defeated by a fraudster. No utility will answer a call to confirm/deny someone's details (as it can be abused), and even then, utilities that don't rely on a physical location (wireless telecoms/internet) themselves can't prove (and don't particularly care about) the address they have on file so even a legitimate utility account doesn't guarantee the account holder actually has access to that address.

The banks are only requiring them to cover their ass because the country seems to have accepted the idea that a utility bill is somehow an authoritative document, so they can claim their due diligence was up to scratch (well they're not wrong, as you can't reasonably do any better) if things go wrong.

Doesnt the EU pass unfunded liabilities back onto the member states?

Meaning the EU will pass a law or regulation or program that the member states then have to fund with domestic taxes?

Generally speaking for the federal government, if they want to pass a program or requirement the federal government must also pay for that, for example the federal government could not require the state governments to put in bike lane on all road with out giving the states the money to do it.

That is why the Federal government is so large..

Every policy in the last fifty years of the US government would be perfectly rational if its purpose was to destroy the nuclear and extended family. It may just be coincidence, but there's no doubt these are the consequences.

These policies are in line with that, a unequivocal transfer of money from structured hard working families to unstructured broken ones. Removing incentives for the former and adding them for the latter.

It's very easy to destroy social fabric top down, but it can only be created bottom up.

What is a good approach to enable workers on the ground to "willing difficult project into existence in a bigger corp?

Typically, ground workers (devs) plate is overflowing with work, coming from product management which are just increments or maintenance of existing products.

There is not much Slack build into the daily processes to allow for rough ideation, concretization and much less implementation/prototyping.

Other then allow for a certain amount of dev time to go into innovation (a la googles Friday off for personal project) i can't think of much.

Ask HN: How do regulars interact on / with HN?
I am fairly new to HN and I love the responses that I receive. However, the UI seems a little bit weird to me and I am wondering how others use the forum and UI.

E.g. I have observed that often people answer once but then do not follow up if there is a counter-question.

I prefer mutual conversations that clarify points and go deeper instead of one-shot answers. But. When I was trying to reply on posts, I had a hard time in order to find new answers to my posts. I solved it via skimming the whole conversation tree. That felt tedious.

Do I miss some UI features here? e.g. how to get notified or at least easily get transparency about answers to my comments? How to move things that I already read out of sight?

Maybe I am also using the wrong UI and the regulars use another one? e.g. algolia seems to provide a search interface which then links back to HN. Also, I have seen other apps create custom UIs. Maybe the regulars don't even use the web interface but something else?
