Who else survived from starving in college thanks to Taco Tuesdays? The trick was to make two tacos from one because it was always served with two layers of the flatbread. The flatbread was sometimes corn, sometimes flour, but it was always generously served double layers.

Curious which is the traditional, the soft taco or the hard shell we know of from that franchise with a bell?
I use Wayland + Sway plus ydotool(d) on a dailty basis (e.g. with libinput-gestures), as well as kbct to rebind keys (main purpose caps to esc and some ctrl/alt/meta/fn rebinds). Both use uinput. Things I could do with xdotool I can also do with ydotool.
Ah okay, thanks! I wish I read German, or that there was a cooperative for translating books about cooperatives into English XD
It's the one everyone preferred, but not many could afford.
Thanks for this, I liked it.

I’d recommend anyone who’s posted for/against some web practice to read it.

Maybe one day we could all collectively acknowledge that people work on different stuff, with different goals and under different constraints, and there isn’t actually one right way to build for the web. It’s such a tiresome part of HN.
Like 50 years of wrist watches kinda calls BS on that. Mass produced, low cost, waterproof devices with easily removable batteries used to be the norm. We as a species certainly haven't forgotten how to do that, these adhesives are far from necessary.

They exist not for IP rating, but to make the device appear to not have any screws. Both for aesthetic reasons and to keep people out reasons.
Could Google’s Carbon Emissions Have Effectively Doubled Overnight?
It is possible and multiple such phones exist on the market today. But there's a lot more people who want to complain about the iPhone battery than people who want to buy a Nokia 1.3.
"The blind signing procedure ensures that passes that are redeemed in the future are not feasibly linkable to those that are signed. We use a privacy-preserving cryptographic protocol based on ‘Verifiable, Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions’ (VOPRFs) built from elliptic curves to enforce unlinkability. The protocol is exceptionally fast and guarantees privacy for the user. As such, Privacy Pass is safe to use for those with strict anonymity restrictions."

I'm not claiming it is a valid solution, I'm just sharing a possible workaround.
I remember many of those ads from when they appeared!

I like that the author showed a lot of ads with girls operating the computer. Typically it was boys (or whatever) with his sister just passively standing by. Of course it was the 80s and apparently it was quite common for the “family computer” to be installed in the son’s room.

TBH my favorite part was being reminded of the absurd clothing people wore in those days and the incredible clutter of stuff people had everywhere.
> 'abcdef'.split(2) == ['ab', 'cd', 'ef'] # not the same as .split("2")

Pairwise would give you ['ab', 'bc', 'cd', 'de', 'ef']. It's not a split.
Eiffel is one example of a language that added nullable types after initial release, still during the late 90's.
If you have significant fiat capital you can easily purchase mining power in PoW. Similar with purchasing validator power in PoS. The two are equal in that regard. Where they differ is that PoS is more resilient to 51% attacks of this nature than PoW is.
So btc has only gone down since you bought it?

If you buy btc, and value goes up, and you use it to "send cash" that is a gain.
Those are not binary categories. If stealing is evil, does it mean stealing food because you haven't eaten in 3 days belongs in the same category as genocide? If it doesn't, does it mean stealing is good? And that's just the easiest example.

The variety of apples really is something special that I’m afraid we’re losing due to mass centralized farming and big box stores. There are many varieties of apple you can’t really access easily unless you want to plant a sapling and wait a few years. If you’ve got enough space for trees, try ordering a couple saplings of varieties you’ve never heard of before, it’s like a slow little side quest.

Share some with your neighbors and maybe propagate some new trees to spread. Maybe your little corner of the world will have a special niche apple variety that will outlive you.

It's very different.

The first movie takes place in a single room as the character confides in a group of professors about who/what he is.

The sequels is much more conventional (multiple scenes, multiple sets), and features a group of students who independently discover who/what he is.
> A properly written SPA is very performant

SPAs should offer better UX (by reducing full page loads), but at the expensive of developer hours.

Curious to hear what the difference in development time is from anyone who made the same app as a MPA and later as a SPA.

I'd guess to make the same app as a SPA would take around 2-3 times as long.
I had a 6 cylinder VW and the feeling was more 'any gear is fine', so I lost interest. Also grew up driving manuals so never had a problem commuting, its advantageous sometimes to take it out of gear in stop-n-go traffic.

Apps, not sites. It’s even in the name, Single Page Application. You probably shouldn’t build websites as SPAs but you probably should build most apps as SPAs.

Slack, Dropbox, Google, Notion, Spotify, superhuman, 1Password, Robinhood…

Basically most web tools/apps are SPAs if they have been built in the last ~10years. Github, Reddit and Airbnb were founded ~15 years ago when Rails was still a thing.
Liking it is beyond the point, it isn't available for me to use unless I replace my phone and computers. But yes I think you're right, Firefox has become so thoroughly marginalized that Safari seems like the last meaningful resistance to the Chrome monoculture.
It’s hard to know hot productive you are in those frameworks, but I’ll take your question at face value: if you were an expert with NextJS, Typescript, and Prisma or Hasura then you’d be pretty dang productive.

BTC has stayed the same price for the duration of my transfers. It's just a few hours most of the time. There is also allowance in the law for this case - I don't need to declare anything unless I profit over $1k/year.
> Open-source browsers are an important part of the web and should not be treated differently than their closed-source counterparts.

One way to interpret that is they should all have the same suspicion rules for lack of popularity applied to them. One way Cloudflare's rules could be causing this is if there's some threshold for fingerprints-per-second under which any UA is considered sus, and Firefox's market share is so low that it tends to fall under that threshold.

In which case, what lwt hiker is asking for is special treatment for the browser because they believe the Mozilla project's browser has special value to the web ecosystem. Which they are allowed to believe, but let's be clear about when we're seeking special treatment vs. being treated like any other user agent.
I was a former program manager on the Windows XP release so it warms my sprit when I see projects like this. Thanks for keeping the dream alive.
How were you in 1st grade in 1981 but high school in the early 90s?
Makes sense so it’s basically 7x more just in terms of raw power. I was wrongly under the impression that Apple was limiting ML capacity.
Euchre is delightful. I now live in the Midwest, where seemingly everyone knows how to play, so it’s always easy to pull out a deck of cards when people come over. It moves fast and involves just enough strategy to maintain interest while also being social.

Edit: Also, if you’re into spades, I’d also recommend Rook. It has many of the same mechanics, but the bidding is somewhat more nuanced. (Although I’d suggest getting a used Rook deck because the modern ones are very cheaply made.)
How can you "stay young", if you are in fact old?

Youth isn't just a question of fitness and years. Youth pulls in recklessness, a belief in your own immortality, an uncertainty about who you are or what you're for, and a diminished awareness of the past (because you've experienced less of it). There's no medical treatment or fitness regime that will give those things back to you.

If you even want them; the loss of those things, or at least some of them, might be considered wisdom.
The pure definition, though, is still the common definition in most of Central America and in Latino communities. Feels odd to erase that correct, active definition because it was used for marketing unrelated things in unrelated places
On further investigation, the executable already has a manifest in it. I believe the missing bit of XML is this:

<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>

No, I don't know where that's documented. I pulled it out of the manifest of an existing installer.

Mostly because banks keep financing fossil fuel expansion projects.

Of relevance for individuals, too:

Tested in Safari, got the captcha challenge. I doubt it's due to some specific Firefox block.
But they selecting the individual components, buying them from different vendors, then assembling them to the final thing.

You can "build" a PC or a bicycle without creating any custom part, but the end result will be unique. A keyboard has less parts(board, switches, keycaps and maybe a controller) but I think it still count as built.

If you order everything as part of one kit, like the furniture from Ikea, then yes, you just assembling it together.
Pinboard (https://pinboard.in/) is still a thing, and the developer bought the deli.icio.us domain too I think.

In any case, it has at least replicated the del.icio.us functionality, and then added more, such as archiving page contents. The tags are still there too, and it prompts with other users' tags when you add a bookmark. Oh, and an API, which is very useful for programmatic use of the data once saved.
Not strictly everything is chemical in nature, just all the things that can physically be swallowed.

Woah woah dems fightin words. Is this true?
Considering that batteries still only last about a day and Apple led this shift to non-user-swappable batteries they still deserve some blame for landfill culture. Most of their efforts around repair appear to be the minimum anyone motivated by new sales would do once faced with looming regulation.

Even if at cost the extreme sophistication and complexity of such tools reinforces the point that these devices aren't really built for repair. They're built for eye appeal first and foremost.
I use wayvnc for this purpose but its local traffic. I would use Wireguard for authentication secure communication.
Smallpox vaccine is contagious (live virus varicella I think) and can have awful side effects (full body blisters, death) for people with eczema which is far more common. Even without exzema, side effects are hard.
Yes used in practice! I do production support in this field.

Nitinol is used in lots of vascular devices. At least in my company, they used it first in guidewires just for the super elasticity, as a torturous vessel may kink a steel wire.

At first there were bare metal stents, steel and later CoCr alloy. But last 15 years or so we've gotten self expanding stents that use the shape memory effect to set the final diameter at body temperature during processing, then the Stent is collapsed down into a catheter delivery system. There are various designs for releasing the collapsed Stent into the vessel, but once there it springs open thanks to super elasticity and apposes (conforms) up to the vessel wall, where good apposition gives lower chance of thrombosis formation.

There are lots of other devices too... embolic protection devices (niti frame with a net over it, to catch shmoo from flowing to brain during a carotid procedure )
And various heart repair devices.

It's great for intervention devices because you can collapse a device down small enough to be advanced by radial or femoral artery access and let's you do things that would normally require cracking someone's chest open for heart surgery.

But the material is finicky, and it could take a decade for a smelter to get their niti process worked out. A very small difference in alloy composition disproportionately affects the crystal structure transition temperature, which impacts whether device will behave in service conditions

Heres something for you to consider.

I remember in the late 80s most people could not type. Typing was done by secretaries and was a specialized skill. There were (optional) for-credit classes in high school dedicated to teaching typing and nothing else.

I got a bunch of part-time temp office jobs as a teenager because I could type fast, having grown up with computers, while my friends would get jobs at supermarkets or convenience stores, etc.

The temp agencies had me do typing tests (on typewriters, not computers) before placing me. I blew them away at some ungodly WPM speed that I no longer remember. Not atypical by todays standards, I’m sure, but standards were different then.

Often I would be the only person in a small office who could type. I certainly was the only male who could type. Everyone else was female.

Imagine that today!
Don’t be a fool, it’s not reasonable.
> I actually are annoyed by the new Reddit enough to switch to old.reddit.com most of the time when I end up on Reddit. Not sure why. But maybe it tells something,

For me it's because the new design is hilariously slow in every way. And also it looks really, really bad. Meanwhile old.reddit.com loads instantly and doesn't burn my retinas.
> However, I would personally not be ok with this if it's just Bobcat locking out and/or crippling features in the released unit and making people pay money to unlock them.

Yeah it’s not like it costs them anymore to manufacture ones with more features, they’re all built in and then artificially shuttered.
It's probably not a deliberate attack, but consider the incentive structure and the goals here.

Cloudflare is a site protection service. Their goal is to keep malicious traffic from griefing their customers. To do that, they have to distinguish malicious and non-malicious traffic. That becomes a game of trust, and if the user agent is masking its signal (or, more generally, making its signal less distinct) in the interest of privacy for its user, there are fewer trust hooks for Cloudflare to use to distinguish legit Firefox-shaped traffic from attacks.

Ironically, attempting to keep oneself anonymous can make one lest trustworthy. The server is always at liberty to refuse to serve.
Killed (at least for me) by browser history (and then the web of course) being so easily searchable
There are tons of people who tweak their layouts a bunch -- but because it's free to switch that up and do your own experimentation, writing about your layout isn't as useful to other people as reviewing things they are considering paying for.

I don't use any of these. With the exception of Google (the search engine). Which I don't think is a SPA. When I type a search query and hit enter, it loads a new page. When I click on the next page at the bottom, it also loads a new page.
A fan.

One of the extra ‘services’ is a fucking fan.
Short selling doesn't create new stocks, so as per the parent comment, what do you mean you can't tell how many shares of a company are issued?

It feels like you have just changed the question from your original claim that "You can't even find out a definitive answer as to how many shares of a stock currently exist" - when the answer is easy, go to any website and divide market cap by share price.

Want to find out what is shorted? Go on any website that has a stock quotes service or find the short interest ratio, which is declared at least twice a month for American assets. On the other hand, how would you see how many short positions exist for BTC considering that it is traded across multiple exchanges?
I can't even imagine a person being "enamored" by Jira.
At one point crypto was about decentralization, and having advantages over the current banking system. But to your point it seems like it is no longer for most people, for most people crypto is about the price going up, regardless of centralization or usefulness.

Man I love the 65% layout.

It's a shame there aren't many stock choices with solid build out there with 65% keyboards. My first 65% is a low profile Keychron K3 (not really recommended because of QC issues + completely trash customer service, but it's light and impressive for people who haven't used a mechanical keyboard before). Second one, I couldn't find a wired keyboard without backlight and 65%, so I opted for a TKL Filco keyboard - highly recommended even they only have Cherry switches, which is not perfect, but good enough for getting addicted to the typing experience :)

I'm struggling to see where in the article the author suggests that her ideal is code academies, although maybe you get that impression from some other source. To me it seemed clear they she is advocating for a change in approach for academic education itself, and not in a "giving students more readily marketable skills" way, but rather almost the opposite: less narrow, technical focus, more critical thinking and multidisciplinarity.
Bitcoin is not completely decentralized in the sense that every inhabitant in the world has the exact same share, but it's the most or one of the most decentralized assets.

Those 0.01% don't have the same control over Bitcoin that the Fed has over the dollar. That is, that 0.01% wouldn't have been able to engineer the enormous inflation we have today for the dollar, but for Bitcoin.

I don't think Bitcoin is about democratizing anything, it's about maybe you don't want your share to be diluted by 2-10% every year.
I was a weird kid and taught myself the rules to a ton of card games as a kid, including bridge. (Except I was an only child who lived out in the country and never really had anyone to play with. Again, weird kid.) The problem is that knowing the rules of bridge don’t really translate into understanding the intricacies of the bidding strategy, and I’ve never found anyone else who wanted to learn it (my wife has, understandably, never been particularly receptive to picking it up). And it’s not like there are other millennial couples out there eager to learn bridge, lol.

I’m trying to make the canasta renaissance happen. It works well as a two- or four-hand game, and it’s social while also demanding some skill in the play. Bezique is another favorite.
Firefox use, same.
Basically, you fill a captcha once, and that gives 30 anonymous one-time-use tokens which are stored on the browser. The cryptography used ensures that there's no way to associate the one-time tokens between each other or back to the original captcha. Redeeming the token proves that you've already filled a captcha, and will bypass the captcha for that session.
I work with healthcare data for a living, and the idea of the vast amount of suffering my data represents is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. Each row represents what is often the worst day of someone's life, or their death. It represents immense pain and possibly years of rehab that they may never fully recover from. It's so easy to just look at it as data, as code. None of us can understand what it means to have lost so many lives to COVID, all those unique individuals, life stories, families and friends. But I think we owe it to them to at least try.
