FYI, "dark mode" looks pants on e-ink displays.

Though Dark Reader can be tuned to give high-contrast light-background themes.

The extension itself has a dark-mode formatting which cannot be changed, however.
I don't remember seeing it at school in Germany in the 90s either. Curious if it's something that came later.

Done properly, moving away from #fff/#000 can be done in such a way that it looks excellent on better monitors and is usable, at very least not entirely unpleasant to read, on less capable ones.

> I will have a harder time reading your site

It not looking as nice for you is fine, as long as it is readable. If we held everything back to making sure it worked on all screens there would be a lot more plain-text-only sites/apps out there. A perfectly good option IMO, but try getting the general screen using public to agree with that!

Even with a bad screen there are usually adjustments you can make to help.

There are of course many pages out there that are too low contrast, or otherwise unpleasant, unless you are using a particularly good monitor setup a particular way for which…

> or just give up and go somewhere else.

… is a perfectly valid option. You don't owe them your attention, though likewise they generally don't owe you anything either.
It's not really any better in terms of the results it serves up.

If it had a filter to only show pages that didn't have cookie popups then maybe I'd look at it again.
Just add “Reddit” to the search string

Reddit is what the internet used to be back when it was useful.
And what is the possible enforcement mechanism?
I mostly just dabble in a bunch of things. I started by looking at what classes are offered in my city, and started signing up for random ones. So far, I've done some leatherworking, metalsmithing, weaving, archery, bike repair, American sign language, etc. I also cook a decent amount, and am always trying new recipes. Trying to add fermenting and preserving to the list this summer. And I've recently reached out to an instructor for guitar and singing lessons.
Which fedora version is this based on? It's supposed to be documented here https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/fedora-and-r... but it hasn't been updated yet.
It's worth noting that Dark Reader can force light high-contrast modes.

I use it for this on my e-ink device. The results aren't always optimal (site graphics and navigation are often mangled), but the main body text is at least readable.
GrubHub's NYC Free Lunch Promo Didn't Go Smoothly
The fact that they so widely advertised themselves as being back 1:1 with USD and then admitted they were lying ruins all their credibility in my eyes.

In addition, I’m surprised so many people defend them by effectively saying ‘this time they’re not lying’ — with no evidence. All I can see it as is wishful thinking than sound judgement.
Many moons ago when flash was alive and kicking I gave flixel a go and made a simple 2d game. Very strait forward and procedural so you could pick it up very fast. Something like that would be perfect for a 2d game thing. Shame its anchored to a dead technology.
I agree. I write programming books for various languages and having to reformat text in sometimes funky ways to fit page width is a challenge.
For what it's worth, even though I don't agree with you, your post really should not have been flagged to death. I don't see what rules it's breaking so I vouched for you to bring it back.
Got me thinking - Google has became what it is - this colorful commercial ooze - by parasiting on the pre-Google web. Is there a search engine that searches sites without any Google code in them?

Ask HN: How Long have you been actively engaging with strangers on the internet?
What platforms have you progressed through?

For example,
I started 20 years ago with GameFAQs and AIM. Had a bit of a gap in text-based mediums between AIM and joining Reddit in 2010. Still engaged vocally in private servers in video games like Counter-Strike during that time. Sometimes that leaked into Ventrilo. Actually made some legitimate online friends that i engaged with for at least a few years with that. The popularity of ranked matchmaking eventually killed casual conversation in that medium for me, though. Stayed on Reddit for a long time, still follow some specific subs. Started on HN about maybe a year ago

Tried discord here and there but it doesnt seem to stick to me

I was on MySpace & Facebook early but didnt really engage with strangers there, just IRL friends and such.
i think true Firebase alternative should be compatible with Firebase clients, no?
After some 'hummm, how might that be done' type thinking, it would very much depend on how and where the phone line was terminated at within the old analogue phone. In most of the ones I have dissembled the cord is pretty much run directly to the handset hang-up switch. If that's the case then I doubt it however a few that I've seen have terminated the cord on the main circuit board with some downstream components for various functions (call/line indication, remote ringing etc) before running up to the on-hook switch. If the phone is one of those .....

.. Then yes, I suppose in a James-Bondy way it might in theory be possible (with sufficient gain, filtering and DSP) to (ab)use an electrolytic capacitor, piezo buzzer (hard-of-hearing ringing booster) etc.

If it is one of the simpler ones, then no (but not a domain expert). Best suggestion is open it up and see how/where the cord terminates. If there is little between it and the cord coming in then I don't think there is any way to 'jump over' the air-gap created by the switch though I guess you might be able to measure the change in air capacitance of the switch air gap for very loud noises (spinning rust disks record loud vibrations/sounds) so as always, consult an expert based on threat model.

In terms of legal/type approval any testing most likely states that ‘phone must disconnect from line’ and be able to withstand x amount of surge before emitting magic smoke. Local laws may vary.

Note:VOIP phones are a different kettle of fish and haven't taken enough of them apart to comment on them.
Actually, in certain situations, yes. My running shorts have pockets that barely fit iPhone mini. Yes, I know there are other accessories that I can buy to fit giant phones in but I rather not.
100% this.

I'm in the same boat, I'm happy with tempus_future in neovim https://github.com/protesilaos/tempus-themes

I have my custom theme for the 16 terminal colors, as tempus doesn't handle well dark <color>/light <color> contrast with the same <color>, and some terminal applications like to do that... But I'm not fully happy with my custom theme yet, the dark colors are too dark.

If you have a kobo, I highly recommend checking out koreader[1], which is an open-source ebook reader and is highly configurable (to the point where you can even write custom css rules from withing the e-reader), integrates with calibre natively (you can even connect to your Calibre library over Wifi), has a solid support for CBZ (with features like auto-cropping the border around your comic, automatically or manually), and more.

Having used it, I don't think I could go back to Kobo's reader (and even less to Amazon's, which is a joke in term of configuration options).

'never' is a strong word.

A .vscode/extensions.json file just specifies extension 'recommendations', and I find, really accelerates developers becoming productive in a project.

If I want to encourage small, one-off contributions, I want to support a user workflow that's as close as possible to:

git clone <project>
git switch -t <branch>
code <project>
npm ci | dotnet restore | terraform init | go get | <whatever>
<change and test>
git add <changes>
git commit
git push

With the right set of extension recommendations and default code settings, a VS code user can automatically be prompted to get the right test executors, linters, prettifiers, and so on so that they get instant feedback on their changes.

It doesn't even matter if many users who work on the codebase day to day actually use emacs or a highly customized IntelliJ setup or whatever - the vscode settings specifically enable the driveby coder to get a working environment fast, and that helps enable the power users to not be bothered by feature requests that could be pull requests.
Well look at that. Thanks.
We used it on our LAN around 1993 hooked to a local mail server (which ran on a Windows box using Netware I think - it was sitting on a filing cabinet next to my desk) that in turned fetched mail from the campus mail server. It worked really well and the local mail server let us easily share/email large attachments within the department as they never left the LAN.
Sorry if this is too political but we should consider Tucker Carlson's take:

In videos like this, he's not being conservative but simply making an observation or asking a question that liberals don't like. The theory basically is that minority traffic deaths are increasing because the police are less willing to enforce traffic law with them.
> And before we continue, let’s make it absolutely clear that we have no control of the color of the text in this very article, as it is hosted through Medium.com, which features poor visual accessibility of their site design. Further, Medium prevents their users from selecting black text as a choice. While Medium’s “Fischer-Price-simple” content creation is easy to use, it is also extremely limited, and fails in accessibility in areas beyond color. Perhaps this article can serve as a wake up call regarding this issue.

So - why on EARTH are you publishing there? And for what it's worth, the areas that fail WCAG AA for colour contrast on this page are areas entirely within the control of the publication.
Well there's more to the client than just playing music. As GP said there is bloat but to me some features are very useful.

A big part of the client is for browsing through music/album/playlists/artists. Of course you could search for music outside of Spotify but it's really convenient to have it integrated in the client. There's also a social media part (definitely bloat, I have disabled it) and more hidden features like being able to control the client from other Spotify clients (e.g. on my phone) which I use all the time.

300 MB is not great but it's low enough that I don't really care.
I work at coinbase. We have standardized salary bands, this is just the salary at your level (comp plus equity, not sure if bonus is included). They are letting you know this up front to not waste your time.

One other thing that’s worth noting is that each year they give you a new equity grant. That grant I believe is priced based on the stock price over a period of 30 days in the first quarter.

Handy for limiting your downside if you are bearish about the economy.
I've looked at (and discarded) Workflowy before. I hadn't heard of Logseq before, so thank you for that.

However, I am looking at it now, and while it's a nice little app, it's not an outliner and I am not sure if I am going to be able to find any use for it.

Outliners are explained here:

Why are you comparing Logseq to one?
Sort of, the huge subreddits are just as much a hellhole as the majority of google.
While this has happened with Perl (AFAIK, people realized what a mistake Perl 6 was, and there's a plan for Perl 7 to mostly go back to Perl 5, which makes it two breaking changes in a row), I see no signs of it happening with Python; instead, every new Python 3 release gets farther from Python 2.
Sam Gross worked on this, this made rounds recently in Python user world: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CXhDb1ygxg-YXNBJNzfzZsD...

It's a fork of Python 3.9, takes out GIL and introduces optimisations to speed up both single- and multi-threaded execution (since the bar set by PSF is that no-GIL implementations must be at least as fast as GIL single threaded programs). He ends up with a net 10% speed improvement.

If he does these optimisations, and also doesn't remove the GIL, the performance boost is even larger. So, depending on how you look at it, it's either:

- A bunch of optimisations, plus a GILectomy which slows Python down, or

- A bulk change that removes GIL and speeds things up

Since these improvements were in a similar ballpark, my fear was that the improvements are taken off the branch, with GIL left in place...

In addition to Jurafsky and Martin (https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/), I also like Emily Bender's book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18128399-linguistic-fund...

Bender's book is NOT an end-to-end text though imo. It's more a central jumping off point. So you can read about a concept and if it sounds interesting, search more about it.

Wrong. I have no idea where this comes from, other than Linux-fanboys re-iterating the same old story from Windows 95 over and over again. Windows has supported forward slashes as path separators since Windows 2000 (at least).

If you think of Tether as an investment organisation that takes $ and hands out claims which they say are worth 1$, while making a bunch of investments, what's that in regular investment land? A money market fund. What can go wrong? https://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/09/money-mar...
I think you're missing how deep the function reference change goes in standard code. What about unittest mocks? Conditional module loading? Enabling/disabling tracing features? I'd bet there's some dynamic function reference assignment that happens during python console startup.

It's not unreasonable. It's just what the language makes easy and useful. It's still used much less than for example method aliasing in Ruby which has about the same result.
I find syntax highlighting to be much more visible in a dark theme. Otherwise I agree.

Tether's market cap has declined about $9 billion in the past several weeks, going from ~$83B to ~$74B. If that continues, and its backing really isn't adequate, we will find out.
Somewhat on topic; I have a student who is analysing vendor malware,
and in particular bad-things found on cheap USB memory sticks and
solid state drives. She ordered a bucket-full of random junk from
Alaibaba etc, deliberately letting it come through e-Bay type markets
and unbonded warehouses. So far the results are as you'd expect, just
horrifying.

This is why the ability to install auditable open source code is
essential to the future of security on everything. Most of this
stuff should be wiped down to the metal and re-flashed with something
trustworthy before use.

Why would Tether collapsing bring down USDC?

Theoretically, USDC is backed (or more backed) by dollars.

They defend them because they have a vested interest in the whole pyramid not collapsing.
As a thought experiment, how about if some new fancy feature/AI could take your book/text and generate a movie from it. The technology/publishing platform only licensed the right to publish the text/book, but they now have a way that you can watch a movie (in the past they had to get actors, director, sometimes multiple, pay people, studios etc)...

As a follow up it would be cool, TTS did use different voices for Narrator and characters in a book ... if someone patents that your welcome!
They're all basically O(M(n)) where M(n) is your matrix multiplication time. Even though M(n)<=n^2.3...., it's reasonable to say that it's n^3, because in practice, no one uses the sub-cubic algorithms. Strassen is possibly workable, but it isn't widely used, and all of the sub-cubic algorithms have accuracy tradeoffs.
That's all true but didn't get markedly worse during the pandemic/2021, and miles driven dropped.
Good point. Optimistic updates have always been a pain point for backends as services, although it's quite essential for many apps UX.

Hi, John Doe from IRC here. I made this account just to reply to you.

The patch to the (already mainlined ages ago) device tree is not "on the manufacturer's website" because it is already on the Linux kernel's website. To which I linked. And it will be in Linux kernel 5.19.

Unlike Broadcom's fruit-themed tax evasion scheme, we strive to mainline support for the devices, so that you do not need manufacturer specific patches and mainline Linux just works out of the box.

The berries wrinkle their nose at this approach, as they'd rather use a proprietary boot chain with their own kernel fork and pre-made SD card images containing forks of Debian for maximum handholding.

Meanwhile, I'll be content booting fully open and auditable firmware with mainline bootloaders, kernels and userlands. We all have our own priorities.
When I hear "software" and "Intel" in the same sentence I want to shake my head.

In one of my areas of specialization it seemed Intel's M.O. was to hire a few junior people to accomplish in two years what I'd accomplish in two weeks.

It'd hard to believe a software person is really going to be happy in a hardware company: when you've got different lines of business like that a social hierarchy emerges and it really gets in the way of "getting things done."
Not TV. It's almost exactly like Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, Excite and other "search portals" of yore. The thing they swore they would never become, yet here we are now.

Very nostalgic for someone who grew up with an Atari 800XL!
Also shows how much creativity is possible even within severe constraints - there are many fonts there that have real "character" (pun intended).
I predict that some of these companies will try to avoid the taint of layoffs by doing them in sneaky ways. One classic method is using "performance" reviews to reduce/deny bonuses and equity awards, or in some cases simply terminate people whose objective performance is fine. Another is to cancel projects or reorganize, offering the "opportunity" for an internal transfer except that many will be surprisingly unable to find a "fit" before time runs out. Zealous (but selective) enforcement of previously ignored policies is a third. If you currently have a "handshake deal" for a 10-on/4-off schedule, or "business" travel that's really about getting to see your girlfriend more often, or an exemption to some IT policy, watch out.

Driving "natural" attrition isn't hard, as companies like IBM and DEC realized long ago. Anyone working at a FAANG or similar company should get used to watching their steps very carefully, and consciously aligning with the "in" crowd even more than was already the case.
Using Medium is way worse for readability than using grey text.

Long body text should have sufficient contrast and good typography. Using only maximum contrast for all text "just because it worked for books" is bad advice. Not only was there not really a choice when it came to books, also books reflect natural light instead of emitting light. This is fundamentally different and needs to be taken into consideration when designing.

The web does offer incredible flexibility for improving information transmission with _good_ design. Establishing visual hierarchies, guiding the eye and emphasizing things, just to name a few. Just look at your code without syntax highlighting.
The issue is - as with most things - that there is a mix of bad taste, carelessness and lack of education going on.
