> seamless offline

I've experienced a massive downgrade of the offline experience in the Android client over the last couple years. It used to behave offline-first, so if I drove out of cell service and played a saved album, it would look locally first. Now I have to force it to offline mode explicitly, which is a pain when on a long rural road trip. If I don't, it'll spin endlessly trying to load album art and tracks I already have saved.
"Jeff Schaffer, the director of that Super Bowl spot, said in an email that he and Mr. David did not have a comment on the market collapse.

“Unfortunately I don’t think we’d have anything to add as we have no idea how cryptocurrency works (even after having it explained to us repeatedly), don’t own it, and don’t follow its market,” he said. “We just set out to make a funny commercial!”

Priceless.
uBlock origin and uMatix combined:

- Globally blacklist malicious JS (and other features) within uMatrix.

- uBlock Origin's "Annoyances" filter is highly effective.

- UBO's element remover tool is also quite good, and permanently removes misfeatures.

For added leverage, on desktop, I use Stylish to write custom CSS rules that assign annoyances the CSS property "display: none !important". This is typically on a site-by-site basis, though there may be some common targets that can be addressed either globally or with a standard stylesheet applied to multiple sites.

All of which is a pain, agreed, but less of one than not doing so.
I asked the author the same question in a reddit post a while back. They gave a pretty detailed explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/tm3vgp/a_self_host...
Depends on the region google is set too. You will find varying results based on your location.
You won't get a corefile if you are PID 1, which is a pretty good reason to use tini.
Previous Show HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30769044

From the title "Show HN: Open-source Firebase Alternative? It's here (github.com/appwrite)" was expecting the entirety of Appwrite to be a new project shown here for the first time. Could the title be changed to reflect what's new? Perhaps the title of the GitHub Issue being linked: "Announcing Appwrite 0.14 with 11 Cloud Function Runtimes!"
The USB-C-to-3.5mm dongles are bothersome, but they're not that bad. You buy one for each headphone you use, and expect to replace each of them once or twice a year. It sucks, but it has stopped the headphone jack being a /hard requirement/ and instead a nice-to-have.
American roads are just badly designed from a safety standpoint. They're often too wide and flat which incentivizes faster travel than the posted speed limit, lots of streets (called stroads by Strong Towns) have constant entry/exit activity which means more points of conflict, and to top it all off we have so many signs and markers which confuse people. Basically, it's a perfect set of conditions for a bad experience driving.
I really don’t understand what you’re planning to do the first time someone says to ‘check the header file’ to understand how some system call works.
But that’s the wrong approach. You can always tonemap low-contrast values into a higher-contrast color range, but not the opposite way. Once you have something at #000000, it’s clipped, there’s no way for any distinction between these values, same at #ffffff.
uBlock reminds me every day why I like HN so much with its big fat “0” on my browser border

I'll use this as an opportunity to ask others: how large is your music library in bytes?

I used to collect music until one day I lost everything (it was all on one harddrive) - these days I just keep the stuff that is now rare / cannot be found anymore.

If I know even the average largest music libraries are ~1TB I will gladly buy two 1TB drives and begin collecting and buying music again.

Forcing a business to operate in a given state? Ordinarily I’d think ‘let’s have the Supreme Court weigh in on that one’ but given how things are now I no longer have that wish.
Absolutely this….
I started riding a motorcycle last year in a small coastal city in Southern California, and the number of local street incidents has been noticeable to say the least. Streets traditionally safe for cyclists, two wheel motorists and pedestrians have become more dangerous, and the phone distraction component is a huge factor in this.
Because you never want the value of your portfolio to never be less than the stablecoins you issued. If you are a hedge fund you can use potentially more effective strategies which may put you into situations like that.
This seems like a lot of effort for little value.
On the flipside when Manifest was canceled by NBC before its planned storyline could be completed, Netflix picked it up and has planned more than enough episodes to reach the end.
Where are the other federal agencies? There's an energy shortage, a grain shortage, a meat shortage, a housing shortage, a water shortage in the West, an electronic component shortage, and an overabundance of Covid.

The only one that we hear about is the central bank, which can only combat inflation through demand destruction, and we all know what that means.
Google is so unbearable because they are no longer interested in you finding the answer to your query; they're interested in selling your query and its context to the highest bidder. That conflict of interest manifests in what Google has become.
I get none of the same results as my top hit?

Google spends billions of dollars a year to give everyone their own personalized set of bad search results.

That's the justification for its invasive tracking.

Google: "We to build a dossier about you, your life, your friends, and your family members in order to give you better results!"

Us: "So... they could be worse?"
Is it possible to use userContent.css on mobile?

Given the partitioning of device storage, my understanding is that it's either not possible. I'm not sure the browser itself even supports userContent.css.
> migrations are not that hard

You might recall that there are still holdouts who haven't migrated to Python 3. Breaking changes are generally not a good idea in mature languages.
So how exactly is this thing supposed not to look as scam?

Every news update I see suggests it is. Requests like this sound to me like "let us have our pretended peg/backing to pretend that out stablecoin is stable for a little longer".
But considering the internet is a nation-wide thing, would the state even have jurisdiction? If you never employ in a state and actively prevent access to the website from said state's residents, are you even doing business there? Sure, if FB employed Texans who work remote, they can't avoid it, but if they had no physical or even virtual presence?

Because, in order to sue an out-of-state entity, you need to sue across state lines. That takes it out of state court jurisdiction and puts it in federal court. And in federal court, only federal laws apply.

Is there any Supreme Court precedent for this situation?
It could as well be backed by nothing, but hot air.

Since the company is so evasive and has been for years nobody outside really knows.
Probably regional differences. I live out in a rural township / suburb. If nothing else, we don’t lack for land to have waiting rooms.

The CVS had a waiting room too until Covid.

This is nitpicky but the tire changing page doesn't actually fit your rational for choosing .edu pages

>Professors are paid generous salaries to share knowledge with the paying customers of the University (students). So, let’s find some paid unpaid University knowledge on how to change a tire by using our new trick!

But the bottom of the page says

>Prepared by: [students] For Dr. Bruce Magee's English 303 (Technical Writing) Class, Winter 1997-1998.

The professor is actually an English professor and the page was written by students as an assignment. I looked into this because I was wondering, "what would a professor be teaching that he's writing notes on tire changing?". There's probably some professor out there that does that in an academic context, but there's probably a lot of things that no professor actually gets paid to write about. Maybe they would write about something miscellaneous like that anyway and put it online, but they would be doing so out of the culture of web savvy professors having personal pages where they upload stuff they think is helpful.
Kind of weird to assume the WCAG is the reason people started to use grey text.
It’s fine when the library is a tight abstraction. Unfortunately, ML libraries are leaky.

> I know nothing about color profiles, I'm surprised you can't just turn down brightness to read something comfortably and revert to the original level when you need accurate colors again. Or you want accurate colors all the time? But what for, if you are just reading an average document?

I want accurate colors because setting it up is a pain, and switching between accurate and inaccurate colors takes your eyes quite a while to readjust.

It’s much easier to just have everything in an accurate color mode and have content designed for that than to switch it around.

Proper color profiles are actually even more of a benefit for cheap displays than good displays as cheap displays profit from proper colors even more.
>Dr. Grace Lordan, Associate Professor and Founding director of The Inclusion Initiative at LSE: "There is evidence that current hiring processes are plagued by cronyism and bias. It is time that humans hand over the hiring process to machines who do not have these tendencies. Biases embedded in algorithms can be mitigated somewhat with more care from those writing them, and compliance folk, who do not have skin in the hiring process can monitor the process to abate any concerns on fairness. Let's progress AI in recruitment and workplace inclusivity at the same time."

Translation: we "fixed" the bias by rebiasing the neural nets to favor "diverse" candidates. It's still racist, just against the right demographic now, and if you want those ESG goodboy points you'd better use it.
I've actually become somewhat interested in Hy lately. Having a Lisp that targets the Python AST may come in handy. If there was a Nim facility for full Lisp or a very Lispy syntax that could be really nice.

I wonder if this is what permanently effected a 256GB Adata SATA SSD I had in my Linux box. I was running updates and noticed it was very slow once it started unpacking everything. At first I let it go and went about my business surfing the web which wasn't hitting the disk. Finished updating, decided to reboot as new kernel was pulled and the issue was now obvious as it was dragging its feet booting. Worried, I ran a backup of my home dir upon login and every file transfer topped out at 4 or 5 MB/sec. SMART was enabled but reported nothing.

I wound up dumping the ssd to ensure I had a full image and that entire operation topped out at 5 MB/s. And I had the SSD out of the case in a cradle when ripping so it wasn't getting cooked in the case. I did not notice it feeling abnormally warm or hot. I later tried to mess with the disk in a cradle but as soon as I powered it on it topped out at 4-5 MB/sec so either there is some sort of defect causing an immediate thermal issue or something in the controller went awry.
.git/info/exclude is a local .gitignore file which is never committed which you can also use for this kind of purpose.

I answered above, so look there for a detail response.

If you like your experience to be decided for you, use Supabase, especially if you love interacting with a Postgres instance and Deno for your cloud functions.

We try to keep our stack agnostic, hence the 11 function executor, and ever growing list of SDKs. We also allow you to choose your storage adaptor for stuff like Linode, S3, DigitalOcean spaces, Wasabi, and more. We'll eventually give you the option to choose between many DB options, too.

We don't wanna replace your stack, we wanna play nicely with it. You can straight up disable all our services but one, and we're happy to let you enjoy your experience all the same :)

What have you replaced Spotify with for music discovery? I'm a Spotify user on the fence myself
+1 for Krita. It is developed in tight cooperation with many artists who use it daily. It is similar to Blender in that regard.

Just read some of their artist interviews (https://krita.org/en/features/artist-interviews/). Also, being part of KDE, they have a very strong UI/UX team that does lots of a/b testing and other usability testing, which I sometimes feel the Gtk devs are lacking in (however, I don't follow Gtk development too closely so I might be wrong here)
The only thing I really don't like about Bandcamp is their lack of an API and the consequent difficulty of automatically downloading purchased albums.
At least in the piracy model you don't have a badly made app between you and your music.

You should still buy the album if you care about it, even with streaming.
Wait I do that all the time, I multi-select and drag songs into the playlist I want to add them to. It’s great for combining multiple public playlists with a similar vibe.
I don't think that working harder will get us out of this mess we're in, it's what got us here. I don't think we have decades to invent new machines (probably spraying poisons in inovative ways), bring them to market at the required scale - there is simply not enough time.

You seem like you don't accept that nature is already critically depleted, that biodiversity is severely threatened (or you simply don't see its value), and that we're doing (as a species) too little too late too reluctantly to change the current "business as usual" approach to solving this problem.

I accept that I can't change your viewpoint here & now.

P.S. being alarmed is not hysteria, an opposite to optimism, or even defeatism.

I've used this in the past on projects -- overall a helpful set of functionality, and simplified some front-end stuff (less code written is always good in my books).
One of my main use cases for my large iPad Pro is reading PDFs of tech articles with lots of math, code, and figures. That said, I bought a Lenovo Duet Chromebook tablet with keyboard and pen included (for 10% of the total iPad Pro package) and the slightly smaller Chromebook does almost as well for reading tech papers (and has useable Linux containers).

Shop around. You should be able to load up a test PDF from the web on demo units at stores like Best Buy, etc.
The thread you linked reasonably concludes its "routed" P2P. In other words, P2P with, (1) a forced route through, and (2) a form of network address translation at, blizzard's server.

My speculation: this almost exclusively to protect the private IP of one client being exposed to another client. There is no server processing happening beyond connection verification to help mitigate desync attacks. Deliberate desyncs are still possible though, since I've been the victim of it.
Power-off storage temperature is a problem for MLC NAND, but when powered on the NAND cells need to reach a high temperature to operate properly. If you are cooling the flash chips with a heatsink (rather than cooling the controller) you will be forcing the device to dump power into the cells to heat them to a temperature where they work properly.

3D NAND hits its best program time and raw bit error rate at about 70C.

Edit: See data table on page 27. Retention is directly proportional to device active temperature, i.e. higher cell temperature during programming leads to higher retention. https://www.jedec.org/sites/default/files/Alvin_Cox%20%5bCom...

How often do you need to multi-select items on a list box? I don’t I’ve ever found myself needing to do that in the many years I’ve been a GIMP user.

If Tether is a fraud, I hope it collapses soon, so it can take down a bunch of other frauds within the crypto space and probably take at least a quarter of the inflated Bitcoin price down with it. Hold their feet to the fire.
I've seen speculation that grey may be selected as may mock-up tools default to a greyed "Greeked" text, or just grey lines, as placeholders for actual textual content.

When it comes time to install the actual payload, it's presumed / assumed that grey is the text colour, or everyone (designers, reviewers, project owners / managers) are so used to the (non-semantic, incidental) placeholder representation that an unreadable text is simply accepted or presumed as the intent.

There are less charitable interpretations as well.

One fix would be to insist on high-constrast text in all phases of the design process. Yes, it will be visually distracting, but text should be your principle asset and intention.

How long are we expected to wait? It's been over a decade.

btrfs was touted as a spiritual successor to ZFS. raidz5 is a core feature of ZFS, not an incidental extra feature.
More importantly, overly long identifiers are not identifiable by the human eye anymore. You need tools to see the difference at the position 1020.

I used to collect catalogs when they were still paper based. I’d punch ‘order catalog’ into Google and find all sorts of weird manufacturers and retailers selling specialty crap.

Taxidermy supplies, figurines suppliers (from Hummel to Gundam), not to mention the tomes from electronics and engineering distributors like R.S, which are still available (usually at a fee).

Sure you can do it just browsing an ecommerce website, but it’s not the same.

I think I just liked seeing a snapshot of a specific industry’s craft.

I opportunistically go to random trade fairs when I’m travelling now - there’s always one or two in a given major city. Similar ‘snapshot of an industry’ experience.

If you're looking for something like Appwrite or Supabase but with a more end-to-end typesafety approach + optimistic updates, check out Thin Backend https://thin.dev/ (https://github.com/digitallyinduced/thin-backend) It takes a bit more of a higher level approach to database operations than appwrite, supabase or firebase, which allows us to do things like optimistic updates that are hard to do in other tools.
