> You can easily argue that marriage is a cultural or legal system based on making it easier for families with children in a society

And families headed by a non-hetero or non-couple can't raise children? What about other non-traditional family types? (E.g. a grandparent and a parent, two or three adult siblings raising their younger siblings without parents, a couple raising their nieces/nephews/godchildren, the family in Full House etc.) You gonna make those illegal too?

> for the purpose of procreating

If that were really the case, what about couples who can't have children due to age or infertility? Should their marriages be illegal too? Should hetero couples divorce the minute the woman hits menopause, if they don't already have kids? Are widows over 50 not allowed to remarry? Seems like a heartless society to me, and also contrary to "tradition" (whatever that means).

Maybe we can admit that marriage in today's society is also about love, companionship, and deep emotional bonds. Not just raising children.
That’s because they outsourced all their dirty manufacturing to China, which has since picked up the pace of emissions. No country exists in a vacuum - the global economy we all participate in is financing the climate crisis.
If you have to spam me to get my attention, you probably aren't actually a friend of mine, just an acquaintance that I continue to tolerate because you haven't done anything egregious enough to deserve being told to fuck off and die. Spamming me will erode my tolerance very quickly.

There is really only one person to whom I have a responsibility to respond, and we've been married twenty years. Everybody else can damn well wait -- possibly until the first Tuesday after Ragnarok.
There's a photo I saw recently of a family sitting together on the couch - each person on their iphone. Particularly post-pandemic, it's hard to go backwards and get kids off their devices. I think it is perfectly good for families to set a boundary around this and insist on tech free time together, or just take everyone to the park with no wifi available. We can create the culture that we want in our homes.

I've always thought of it as a classic latency vs throughput tradeoff. You sacrifice some individual latency (of the people on the left walking quickly) for improving the overall throughput of the system (and therefore worst case latency).

What made it a nightmare to use? We're just about finished migrating to Cognito (using our own UI) and it's been the same experience as working with Auth0 but much cheaper. The only goofy part was in order to have a custom password reset email you need to put it in a lambda.
Chimpanzees certainly don't engage in warfare, unless you want to anthropomorphic chimpanzees and change the nomenclature of warfare.

While chimpanzees certainly hit each other, they have not been observed much to kill one another, unless humans artificially modify their feeding environments and territories.
To be fair here - you’re not paid based on how much your local environment costs. You’re paid based on what a company think it can get away with paying you.
This really comes down to how narrowly you define warfare and I'm pretty unclear on a good definition. Ant colonies fight battles with other ant colonies but do they fight wars?

Does war require that the participants have some sort of shared goal? It is not an infrequent occurrence that in human wars the planners and decision makers are not unified around the aims of the war.

> Using a short-term JWT and bcrypt to salt passwords is like maybe 10 lines of code.

You are presenting an extremely limited scope.

What you get from using an authentication provider is things like verifying email addresses, OAuth where you just have to "enable" Google, Github, Apple login possibilities. Implementing all these flows yourself is a lot more than 10 lines of code.

Then you also have to do password reset flows, resent email confirmation emails etc.
At some point it really does feel intentionally planned.
I'm saying that if you actually believe that elections won in compliance with the legal rules at the time of the election are, in fact, stolen elections, you hold an incredibly radical opinion. The terms of the election in the US are to win the electoral college. Campaigns, money, candidates, all of the efforts involved are done with the shared understanding that that is the goal. If the goal was to win the popular vote, or any other metric, then the entire arc of polticians who have presidential aspirations would be different, and many who would have won the electoral college and lost the popular vote would in fact win the popular vote instead or whatever metric you have in mind.

You don't have to agree with the electoral college's system to understand that if someone wins an election based on the rules defined up front, they have won the election, and that those that achieved other measures of electoral support in that election have lost, since those measures were not the goal of the candidate to achieve. To think that not only is this not the case, but that the election was "stolen", goes even beyond being radical, it's entirely irrational, as it would be if you said a baseball game was "stolen" by the team with the most runs but failed to secure the most hits. It's very likely that if that winning team knew that hits was the goal, and not runs, that they'd have won under those rules as well.
Devs should never default to using JWTs IMO, I think that is leading folks to delegate auth to providers as it overly complicates the process. There's nothing wrong with stateful API keys/session tokens, and I would wager the majority of web services still use them.
This RMS-style ideological "free software movement" is a tiny minority of the people who actually use, work on, or care about software like Linux. It's best to just ignore them.
It by “blitting” you mean the Apple had a single 6502 chip which could move bytes around, then yes. But it had no dedicated blitting chip like the Amiga had (which I never got to work).

The Atari graphics were awkward, too, or so I was told by my boss at the time who did the Atari versions of our products. Good though. What I mean by awkward is just that I was surprised, as someone with no training in computer engineering, how many little quirks you had to work around. Apple graphics were primitive compared to the others, using a seven bit architecture for pixels and the high bit used for color information. At least the C64 had all eight bits for pixels, which made rendering a little faster. C64 sprites were interesting, but like the OP said we had to do tricks with interrupts to reuse them as the screen rastered.

I guess another reason I said awkward is that we had to do every trick we could to squeeze the art into memory. Alphabet Zoo was shipped as a 16k cartridge. I did an entire game with art in 16 kilobytes! I used nine bytes to encode my name, then later I needed those nine back again… so no easter egg for me.

A company should demand the documentation they need to understand things when the feature is under-development or shortly afterwards.

Documentation takes time. It's their fault for cutting corners and pushing out a product/service that's undocumented spaghetti code.
There was a moment when the creators of the presentation and the presenters were able to become one - just like Excel took number fiddling from the dedicated wizards to any manager, so to did Powerpoint take slide decks from the slide wizards to the managers. It took a bit to catch on but once it did it was wildfire.
>>This is uselessly dismissive and overlooks that this is one of the worst heat waves in years.

and yet the article says that 5X as many people die on the colder days, then on the warmer days - wouldn't the average temperature going up be a net positive for temperature related deaths?

I hate articles like this - very heavy on the opinion/advocacy, and very light on any real facts.

80% of the temperature deaths are happening on the cold days, but the whole article is basically saying the temperature going up is the problem.

"" Although deaths on extremely cold days—about 785,000—were much higher than those on extremely hot days—about 103,000—overall there were more days with intense cold, which could explain this difference. """
For most projects these days I will use a provider for two reasons:

1. Easy to implement
2. The burden of security is moved.

I use clerk.dev for almost any project at this point. They take care of auth/ authorization/ database sync.

Sure I could implement these on my own but why not use SSR for next and hook in and have everything setup in minutes so I can focus on the rest of the app that matters more.
I expect this is part of what they're talking about. "Intellj" doesn't exactly sound like it's a superset.

It frustrated me so deeply when Google removed the compass from their maps application in order to add some buttons to report speed traps or whatever. For a couple years there, the only way to keep any sort of orientation while driving in unfamiliar areas was to make the map always point north regardless of where I was driving.

But, remarkably, enough people complained that they brought the compass back.

recently tried to switch to desktop from web gmail -- logging into gmail with a client is terrifying and painful

typing my google password into a random popup isn't exactly confidence inspiring -- neither is the 'less secure apps' flow they invented

hard to set up threading, sync took forever before newest part of inbox was ready, unclear impact on how replies look

IMO it's 2022 and the open niche for email clients is 'offramp from gmail' -- how can I get a temporary gmail-like experience on desktop w/out an overnight sync, without a giant security hole, and with minimal changed experience. Solve this and you can eventually migrate people to other email hosting.

> If your C++ application is even semi complex or uses Qt you are basically in printf land again. I mean sure go ahead use the debugger for stacktraces and such but anything beyond that is finicky.

UDB, the time travel debugger I work on, supports C++ via GDB and there seem to be certain things that make life really awkward.

One of my team has been looking into the combination of GCC's debug info and and GDB's behaviour around inline frames. There are a number of quirky things we see there, which boil down to "inline functions make the debug experience go wild".

My understanding is that GCC isn't providing as helpful debug info as we'd like but GDB also isn't handling it in the best way. There are corner cases that can be very confusing from a user's PoV.

Even in C, this is quite visible. In C++, where inlining matters even more, we'd expect it to be exaggerated further.

I'd be really interested to know what things you find finicky (and are you even Linux / GCC / GDB, or is this a wider problem?)
You’re not wrong, but also: the electorate’s opinions are shaped by the media they consume. And media is easily bought by disinformation campaigns from oil companies to muddy the waters and convince voters that climate change isn’t a big deal, or is an outright hoax.

You only need to propagandize about 40% of the electorate to completely sink the chances of making real political action on an issue.

Add to that the fact that elected leaders don’t really represent the majority of their “constituents,” they represent the interests of whichever corporations fund them. Democracy has been bought and sold and is controlled by an unaccountable minority, at least in America.

I see you're getting downvoted, but that would be the ultimate goal, yes. If you can devise a circuit without anything that does state switching, it's going to be faster than any digital circuit.
Right. It's such a tiring method of argument -- "You can't do anything until you exhaustively quantify the plusses and minuses." Some things are self-evidently bad ideas with potential costs so large and "benefits" so imperceptible that they can be safely ignored out of hand.

You're right. Things I don't like about Cognito is it stores your users email address/phone number but limits additional metadata so you need a separate user DB table. Now you have to keep Cognito and your user DB table synced and if you want to display a users email along with mailing address, etc on a page you have to query both Cognito and your user DB.

The ease of two factor Auth is nice though.

The Ottoman Empire had a policy of religious tolerance, which was necessary because the ethnic Turks were a minority in the Empire and couldn't afford to cause widespread uprisings by denying people their religions, their customs, and maternal languages.

It doesn't change the fact that they still sent their troops (most of them not ethnic Turks, but Arabs, or children of the occupied people stolen and raised as faithful soldiers of the Empire) to drown entire cities and regions in blood as soon as they "raised their head" and demanded their independence.

For example:

The Constantinople massacre of 1821 was orchestrated by the authorities of the Ottoman Empire against the Greek community of Constantinople in retaliation for the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence (1821–1830). As soon as the first news of the Greek uprising reached the Ottoman capital, there occurred mass executions, pogrom-type attacks,[1] destruction of churches, and looting of the properties of the city's Greek population.[2][3] The events culminated with the hanging of the Ecumenical Patriarch, Gregory V and the beheading of the Grand Dragoman, Konstantinos Mourouzis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_during_the_Greek_War...

The Chios massacre (in Greek: Η σφαγή της Χίου, Greek pronunciation: [i sfaˈʝi tis ˈçi.u]) was the killing of tens of thousands of Greeks on the island of Chios by Ottoman troops during the Greek War of Independence in 1822.[2] Greeks from neighboring islands had arrived on Chios and encouraged the Chiotes (the native inhabitants of the island) to join their revolt. In response, Ottoman troops landed on the island and killed thousands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chios_massacre

The Ottomans gave incentives to their enslaved people to convert to Islam and become Ottomanised. Those were peaceful incentives. But if the people did not take the opportunity offerred to them, then their lives were worth nothing and they were only fodder for the Ottomans' blades. That is what one sees if one takes a "deeper look".
Show HN: SubReply CSS – An exprimental classless CSS style that I am working on
Hey HN!

Recently I came across SubReply[0], a social media site, and its CSS style is really nice. So nice that I decided to rip it and modified it to become a classless CSS style.

I spend about a few hours modding the CSS, removing/replacing class-based part, fixing bugs, and add additional features, such as custom blockquotes.

The style will needs some more work, but basically it has done what it needs to do.

I would love hearing your feedbacks and comments on the project!

> I think there's also a tendency for everyone to want to do their own CPU now.

I mean... I think it's the opposite. There was a time when Qualcomm, Samsung and Nvidia had their own microarchs which they used in most things. Increasingly they're back to ARM-supplied designs now.

I suspect this is partly because the ARM designs are adequate these days, but also because phone CPUs just aren't that competitive anymore; the iPhone is enormously faster than any other phone, and consumers do not care about this at all, because the other phones are, generally, Good Enough.
The Series S is limited to 1440p, and I think most gamers want 4K support, which is why the S is so easy to find. It was good of Microsoft to try and create a more affordable version, but I think they overestimated how many people were willing to live with the 1440p limitation.
