A big part of the problem is that the web is full of parasitic mechanics.

Javascript is shit, both the language itself and most of the code written in it, but the person who suffers from shitty Javascript is... you. It runs on your computer--that's the parasitic part--and not that of the entity serving it. So they don't care. Until ad dollars stop coming in, it doesn't matter.

Businesses generally think they can scale up with shitty code and inexperienced engineers and "do quality" later. Can they? Well, enough of them can that billion-dollar companies exist. I'm very skeptical that capitalism's signals indicate anything about true value (moral, creative, or otherwise) but the fact is that the "start cheap 'n' shitty" approach works, and it has worked for a long time. (Low quality software has been an issue for my entire adult life, and by HN standards I'm an elder dragon legend.) So long as it keeps working, it won't die. Markets don't punish what is bad; markets punish what is unfit by the definition set by the market.

What's funny to me today is that people tend to underestimate how fast computers are--or can be. Adding a million numbers? You can do that in a fraction of a second. People are so used to the crapware that capitalism produces that we've accepted these ridiculous delays, not for any good reason.
Teachers may make 13% more than the average salary across the US, but the job also requires a graduate degree, which often requires a year of student teaching that is unpaid.

If we use your argument about wages, teaching "should" only require ~2 years of college (~63rd percentile education level).
Let’s assume this is a good faith question:

1. OP isn’t qualified to do so, neither are you for that matter.

2. It stigmatizes mental illness.

3. It doesn’t refute my point. It’s not germane to the point of being mean-spirited, contrary to HN guidelines.
Some of us have some level of passion about it because we're long term supporters and donors and don't AT ALL feel like our investment has been in vain.
the difference of those jobs to being a teacher is how much education it takes to get there.

you don't spend years in college to become a janitor.

and as for love correlating with ability. it's up to the teacher-training programs to weed out those incapable of teaching. i don't know how it's done in the US but elsewhere teachers have to spend many hours in classrooms under supervision before they get their own classes. a big part of teaching is classroom management and there, love and enthusiasm make a big impact.
I don't need tests to check what methods or fields are on my types though.

You need the same tests from a typed system in a non-typed. You _don't_ need all the tests from a non-typed system in a typed system.

Writing tests to enforce types just hand-rolls a type system, in my experience.
> And if you mean that we should get rid of even more roads for bike lanes, you are actually going to restrict people engaging with distant relations and friends.

That is utter bullshit. You could dedicate half the secondary roads to non motorized traffic and add a separates bicycle path alongside every highway and fluidity of the cars traffic wouldn't be affected at all. It would even improve.
Crypto isn’t dead. It’s like the dotcom bubble. The ideas were great at the time but not enough people had good internet or computers and it needed time to develop. Today a lot of the ideas are now what people thought they would be back then and more.

Crypto is the same thing. The world doesn’t suddenly switch to crypto on the same time scales needed for VC investment. Crypto would be best if it slowly grew which is actually more like what is happening if you normalizes the peaks and troughs.

If there are 1000 crypto currencies out there today, I expect 995 to be worth nothing in 10 years. I
30s is a 120 times per hour. Or, 30 sec of difference per hour between 250ms and 0 ms (instanteneous).

To get a hour of difference my phone needs to have battery life of 120 hours. For more reasonable 10 hours of battery life I will get about 5 minutes saved.

I see why no one will complain about that difference.
Tianducheng, China isn't so abandoned anymore. Population 30,000. Still weird.
> It seems that the only thing that causes change in our innate bias, is pain.

Funny enough, it is quite often love. Many former neo-nazis left the scene because they fell in love with a member of the "wrong race". It is kind of a cliche at this point.

Now whether it is that is getting to know a person of another race/culture/faith helps overcoming biases or if reproduction is simply biologically more pleasurable than bashing the outgroup, who knows.
There’s probably more people who won’t use something on their phone if there isn’t an app for it. If it’s for a bigger activity. Not that either population is that big.
At Imperial College London there's an intro to proofs course taught with interactive exercises supported by a proof assistant, Lean. The exercises (and the proof assistant) are freely available online at https://www.ma.imperial.ac.uk/~buzzard/xena/natural_number_g....

Disclaimer: I didn't fully work through this game, I never studied at ICL and I can't vouch for its effectiveness, I simply heard about it and thought it was interesting and relevant to your question.

I was really excited about Flex when I first heard about it. I then heard it didn't have Widevine or Android or Linux features. I don't know if that changed, but I wouldn't be surprised if not. If it did ship those it would be a great distro for a lot of people.
Indeed, this is my guess although it means I am having considering my colleague as an unreliable narrator (he is not "randomly recalling" as he claims. He is just regurgitating what he saw on his phone earlier in the day).

On the other hand, the obscurity of the feed subject makes me think YT/Google wouldn't be pushing those on a broader audience, but maybe the algorithm is just that good at nerdsniping us.
In this case, "Crime Pays Much Better" is a valid criticism, relative to the award. It really shouldn't be the case here. This is very much a "worst case scenario" for Sony if publicly released. The award amount IMHO is excessively paltry for the level of effort and the relative impact that this could have caused their business if not reported in an ethical way.
An award amount this low, is as other points out and the poster, approaches levels of "deterrent to doing the right thing."
> So are you locked in with Apple if you use this, or can you switch all your existing passwords to another "passkey provider/service" ?

Eventually, yes. Not now, but the goal is eventually, yes. It requires support to come to Android and at that point, they'll build the bridge to bring them together. I don't think the system currently exists for this, but they've said Passkeys will be a "multi-year industry-wide transition" so I'm inclined to believe it'll ship in the coming years.

When you sign in with a passkey, you have the option of scanning a QR code from a locally present device running any software that can speak the standard (e.g., Android). This means that you can login using any software that supports Passkeys using any devices that support Passkeys. For example, Chrome on Windows (chrome://flags, turn on passkey support) with an iPhone is a valid pair.
Oh, absolutely agreed.

But there are still some people in this world who are panning for gold.
>Always look backward before doing anything else or if a car is approaching.

Better yet, get a rear-view mirror that attaches to your helmet or handlebars so you don't have to turn your full head around. It's been a huge improvement for me since I've gotten it and when I ride shared bikes without mirrors I really notice how much I've come to rely on them.

The difference is Europe is better at restricting corporate overreach than the US is, regardless of how similar their governments have become.

>Efficiency can't be higher then 100%, if it could be then you've got a perpetual motion device or in other words, you're creating new energy that didn't exist in the universe before - breaking physics.

Only in a closed system, heat pumps are not a closed system, they take advantage of ambient heat in the environment which brings efficiency above unity if measured as power input vs heat output.
It's also not like house owners reward people that tell them about an open front door with the total value of their house's contents. In Dutch we say "10% finder's wages" (10% vindersloon) when someone returns an item they found, say a smartphone. Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes you get 20%, but nobody expects to get 100% (or even half) of the true value of the item you are dutifully returning.

That there is a huge market in less-wealthy countries for pirated games is a well-known fact. What strikes me as a leap is that there is some mastermind behind it all that has enough savings (or other liquidity) to buy these exploits for whatever you would consider the true value (if $20k is "ridiculously" low), and then needs to earn all that money back by selling game copies (presumably there is some hardware cost to burn discs) to a population that is large but, indeed, poor.

Well you were one of the handful of players. One person having a good time!= working/good game.

Why does this need to be repeated every time someone has valid criticism of something. Just because it worked for you or you had fun doesn't invalidate criticism.

Here[1] is an article from 2015 (replaced article with reddit list) just listing some of the issues.

As a counterpoint, I'm a scientist whose work occasionally gets media attention.

I was definitely worried about my name being featured in the middle of absolute nonsense, but the experience has usually been good: very few of the journalists completely missed the mark. The "tone" didn't always match what I was trying to get across, but it was usually close to someone in the field's attitude.

There were some minor errors and a lot of them come from a surprising source: many journals believe it's unethical to show "copy" (the complete article) to a source--or sometimes anyone outside the newsroom. Some scientific terms have nuances that aren't immediately obvious to people outside the field. For example, mine distinguishes between "inhibition" of neural activity, which involves specific molecular mechanisms (GABA, mostly) and suppressing it, which could be anything. This distinction probably isn't obvious to even attentive "general" fact-checker.

Am I the only person here who has actually enjoyed D3's story? I'd rather play the D3 campaign again over doing rifts or seasons just for farming gear.
The perception from driving is not true to reality. For example, most busy roadw are completely empty about 70 to 95% of the time. To explain, off-peak, most roads are just quiet. Further, there are a lot of roads, plenty of ways to go from a connector to something less used (arguably too many roads). Then, most traffic are in convoys created by stop lights. This I wan tg to emphasize, the person in a convoy with 2 cars on each side of them feel like they are on a congested street. They do not realize they are the first cars for 3 minutes on that specific vacant stretch of road, and they will leave that stretch of road vacant moments later. There are lots more examples of how it really is a different experience compared to what people think it would be from just looking out a car window.
There are a number of bicycle tourers who adopted pets, mostly cats and dogs while travelling. It complicates a bit the "administrative" part to get accross borders but it can be done.

Small ones can ride in the basket provided they have ample shades, there are dedicated trailers for dogs and there are even dogs who get used to jump in and out of a simple platform trailer to run or get carried depending if the road is flat, going uphill or downhill.
Thanks for noticing. I do have a unique perspective indeed, and that is exactly the activity we engage in. It was never criminal. Reverse engineering for interoperability has always been permitted by law.
> I then heard it didn't have Widevine

That would strike me as a bit strange? You can get Widevine in open source versions of Chromium just by copying some files, e.g. https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki... Why lock it out of Chrome OS Flex?

(Not saying Google didn't do it anyway, just that I find it odd.)

Edit: Although in a way, I'd welcome more Widevine-incapable machines as a disincentive to websites requiring Widevine.

"Past performance does not indicate future returns."

All you're doing is repeating the fact that we've been under-investing in lithium (and other energy minerals[0]) for the past decade+. Everyone already knows that.

Nothing indicates lithium mining & refining is at its physical or technology limits. Far from it: we see large low-hanging fruit for process improvements in both.

Ion exchange and/or membrane and/or electrochemical separation vs ponds, lithium carbonate intermediate vs lithium hydroxide, clay vs spodumene, etc. Lots of exciting stuff going on!

I personally doubt you'll ever see that, though it's a possibility since iOS uses version numbers.
There are still edge cases where it could be done by people who are "sane". They're just interested in other things than you are. And they may have different cost structures than you do. But they're not "insane", even though they are making very little profit.
> This is true, but the author seems to be running their services on several Raspberry Pi like devices whose flash storage may be unstable or quick to wear out. Eliminating unnecessary writes and swap space (depending on the application), those megabytes of extra memory may be just enough what tricks the system into committing memory into swap.

Well the author seems to want text logs instead, which seems much much worse for this.

> What is the advantage of moving around .sqlite-files, over just loading the (compressed) WARCs into sqlite databases when you need them?

I suppose there could be made a case for easy extension: You don't need to change the entire spec to add another table in the SQLite database, maybe containing other metadata.

Icon fonts that use the Private Use Area code points do still work when you just instruct the browser to not let pages override your choices. This is the way almost all icon fonts work. In the last few months I think I’ve observed only three fonts not doing so; DuckDuckGo is one, the second was some small business’s site using a style from many years ago, and the third is Google’s Material Icons font, distressingly widely used, which uses a ligation technique the implications of which really weren’t thought through properly. (It was supposed to improve accessibility in case of the font not loading, but in practice it makes it disastrously bad much more often, as can be seen on a number of Google properties, like their docs sites and Google Translate which are both significantly mangled by it.)

In Europe at least, this is true for a vanishingly small number of key mountain passes. And most of them have been bypassed with motorways on shallower grades which are significantly longer, but still quicker for cars to travel.

Everywhere else, the pyrennes, the alps and company are a spiderweb of tiny towns with tiny quiet roads between them, in a ratio of about 5:1 against the larger main roads. I've cycled them, traffic isn't a problem.

As for paving, on a tour I'll take a hard pack, unpaved surface with no traffic over a main road all day every day.

And knowing where the roads go? That's route planning! Have a little look at where you plan to go before you set out each morning. Strava's heat maps are really useful, though understand that road racers do prefer the highway, and they cycle a lot!

I do this every year, and traffic just doesn't come in to it except at the large terminal cities where we get the international trains or ferries from...

Since we don't leave any apps open on our Android phones, we assume it's because Google was listening (their version of Siri is Bixby, which we use from time to time) then selling that information.

>The game's legendary difficulty is entirely due to the impenetrability of its user interface and systems.

It's also a cultural legacy left over from early versions that were more challenging but less open ended simulations.

In particular, farming required setting up an irrigation system, which required exposing your fortress to a river that occasionally spawned hostile creatures which would disrupt farming. Coupled with winters where farms went fallow, it was much easier to lose a fortress for want of basics.

Additionally, there was a progression involved where access to better metals meant digging deeper and exposing yourself to additional hazards generated from fratures deeper inside the mountain.

Most of these dangers went away in the newer system, and what other dangers were added can often be avoided more easily.

With that said, the older versions also had a lot less replayability. Once you knew what you were doing, each fortress mostly played out the same, but it did make for better progression for someone new looking for a challenge.
