> I have never understood why this player doesn't have a GUI where settings can be adjusted.

I'm not into MPV, but as a MPlayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu) user, I perfectly understand your point, however there's a reason some software still uses TUIs. Video players are different beasts compared to other apps; very often you end up changing one or more settings in a per video basis, which makes the text interface a lot more useable than having to look for that control to tweak among hundreds. Also, external interfaces can be added almost trivially; Mpv itself is embedded in a lot of GUI software without the user even noticing.

When I first started using MPlayer (ages ago, had to compile it every time, codecs back then had to be "imported" from Windows, etc.) I also thought the text interface was clumsy and old looking, then I familiarized with it, used it on a daily basis to transcode videos using the MEncoder companion encoding software, and after some time MPlayer became, and still is, my favorite video player under Linux.

> A video player is an interface for the human. Command-lines are better for things that need to interface with a computer.

I have memories of assistants learning Wordstar key sequences faster than many current geeks learn vi ones. It's wonderful how sometimes humans can adapt.

Just to clarify: I love well made GUIs; it's just that sometimes they're less necessary than we think.

Is a state passing a law, and the most influential anti-abortion group in America proposing the same nationwide, not enough to count as "debate?"

A very odd counter. It's worth pointing out that the GOP is beginning to follow the NRLC's playbook on this in Texas: https://www.npr.org/2022/07/15/1111383520/texas-abortion-law...
>It's important to note that whether this is sinful or not completely irrelevant to whether it should be illegal.

Why? There are plenty of legal jurisdictions that have laws influenced by religion. Israel and Saudi Arabia are the 2 countries that come to mind. But Utah also has plenty of laws that are influenced by Mormons- and no one is complaining about the liquor laws there.

If a group of citizens banded together to form a city, and then, collectively passed a law prohibiting people from walking outside after sunset on Friday - is that wrong?

We already have religious groups that have decided that physician-assisted suicide is OK - and it is illegal for Drs to not-perform them.

Why can't Christians form together and make laws to align with their religion?
This comment section itself clearly shows how crazy dependency and environment management is in Python. In this thread alone, we've received instructions to...

- "Just pin the dependencies and use Docker"

- pip freeze

- Vendoring in dependency code

- pipreqs

- virtualenv

This is simply a mess and it's handled much better in other languages. I manage a small agency team and there are some weeks where I feel like we need a full-time devops person to just help resolve environment issues with Python projects around the team.

> you are conflating the two in your brain because you are reasoning by analogy.

I'm "conflating the two" because you are explicitly co-opting a huge amount of language from "trans debate"

For example, if you do a Nazi salute, people will think you're a Nazi, it doesn't matter if it's really the "pro-natural salute". You are explicitly using all the language of a culture war that is already going on, so why wouldn't I think that it is related to that culture war?
My favourite feature of mpv is small but neat: going frame-by-frame forwards and backwards with the keys "." and ",". VLC can step forwards, but not backwards, which frustrated me a fair bit, because I like first stepping really fast forwards to go into the general vicinity of the frame I wanted to catch, necessarily overshooting the target a bit and then backing off a bit and narrowing down the frame with greater precision. VLC didn't allow me to do that, overshooting meant I needed to do the whole thing all over again; but mpv got me covered.

If a man does not want the baby but the woman does why would the man be responsible? He does not want the child and makes it clear, the woman will choose to have the baby and then force the man to pay money and raise the kid.. that doesn’t make sense at all.

As for your opinion, “ In my opinion the choice to have a child (or to roll the dice on having a child) is made at the time of conception and once an embryo has been implanted it is the responsibility of both parents to provide support to the child.”

It is your opinion but it is a dumb one that should not be respected in any modern society. 1. Read a history book. 2. Learn about realism 3. Put yourselves in the shoes of the many circumstances in which pregnancy occur.

At that point, you may as well stick a small usb bluetooth/wireless dongle, depending on the situation...

Right, but there are places where if you stick an unapproved USB device into a computer's USB port, a nice person from security taps you on the shoulder 10 minutes later. In those cases, you may well have the ability to run code on the computer, but no ability to attach removable storage. It's at least plausible (if not exactly probable) that something like this could come into play for somebody looking to exfiltrate a small amount of data from a system they have access to.

I'm thinking something closer to (but perhaps not exactly) like the Edward Snowden kind of scenario. Something where you access to the computer, but can't use the other common place means of getting data off of the machine and out the door. Yeah, it's a stretch, but it's not beyond the bounds of imagination.
Ask HN: Do you take short naps while working from home?
sometimes I take some short naps, 10 to 15 min afternoon. It always seems to give me a boost for the left hours. Also I usually do it when I have a problem that I don't know how I'm going to solve, but after the nap I feel like my brain is completely fresh and prepared to solve it. It's like a hidden superpower. I don't understand why people don't talk openly about more that and pretend they are always productive.
I thought about building something like this as a browser extension that would work on Facebook. It would not only make censorship more difficult, it would also make it harder for the algorithm to know what you're interested in.

Moreover, in this hypothetical, there's no indication that the donor made a choice that put the recipient in need of a kidney (whereas parents' engaging in sex predictably results in a child in need of birth--recall that we're not debating point-of-life at this point in the thread).
Consider things that can also de-regulate a woman's cycle:

An human egg can only grow if it somehow combines with a sperm, a human child can only grow if it somehow combines with food.

The fact is life and death surround us. A single bacteria is roughly as amazing as all the rest of the cosmos combined (as far as we've seen). Each human egg and sperm contain great potential, if only the conditions are right, if only they combine with their environment in the right way. Yet death is everywhere. The miracle of life is destroyed so elsewhere it can thrive.

I'm not convinced losing a single human egg, fertilized though it may be, is especially tragic. At some point it is worth protecting with force and violence (because that's what we're debating in this thread), but not when it's only a few cells.
This is indeed the case in my HOA as well and I was (pleasantly) surprised to see it codified as such.

I have to disagree. All it would take is for this army to surround the person with the M-16 and wait for a magazine change, then hurl 50 spears at the hapless pincushion. And that's not counting the probability of the rifle overheating, jamming, etc. after long enough.

Because the definitions and leveling are arbitrary and cultural within a given firm or context. Notice how "plan" is both at the bottom level, and also the highest level by being all encompassing if you call it "long term".

> Do you honestly think that the Civil Rights Act was maximal harm? Or the 1934 Firearms Act? Or the 14th Amendment?

Pretty much, yes. That’s not to say I think all the outcomes are bad. But by many measurements these acts had far reaching, catastrophic consequences that negatively impacted the United States.

Just look at the African American incarnation rate, single parent household rate, etc. look before and after the civil rights act.

Was it done with good intentions — perhaps. But the implementation caused impacts locally which had massive negative effects as well. Localized governance would not have had the same negative impacts.

Also as an aside, I’m always open to changing views. I don’t want to die on any hill. That said; I can acknowledge and entertain various views without degrading them or calling them ridiculous. People tend to have views for a reason so I tend to listen and discuss rather than degrade..
The spamming (and outright lying) from MS reps was pretty ridiculous. At a prior employer we couldn’t tell if our rep was clueless or unethical. We raised to three iterations of bosses but his leadership changed annually so he was never held to account. Finally a user revolt caused them to lose an $8mm deal. Even then they reassigned him rather than fire him.

I’m impressed that they’ve moved on from being a Windows and Office company but their culture hasn’t caught up.
The term "unborn child" presupposes personhood, and "fault" is too strong a term even in quotes.

If a person poisons another person deliberately and causes their kidneys to fail, it is not an acceptable punishment to take their kidney and give it to their victim. This remains true even when the victim will die and has no other organ source available.

The amount of books some people can afford is zero. Lawsuits like this are making the general population dumber, more ignorant, poorer, it accomplish nothing besides increasing inequalities and making society worse for everyone. Libraries can be good if you're into very mainstream topics, and you're fine with brushing the surface of the subjects you're interested in or if learning outdated stuff is ok to you, and of course you still need to live somewhere where libraries are decently funded and where book banning isn't a thing. All books should be accessible freely, to anyone, at anytime, anywhere.

Not exactly 32 weeks, but close:

A second fetus was said to be alive for some 20 minutes before a clinic worker snipped its neck. A third was born in a toilet and was moving before another clinic employee grabbed it and severed its spinal cord, according to testimony. Baby E let out a soft whimper before Gosnell cut its neck, the jury was told; Gosnell was acquitted in that baby's death.

> Some people view abortion in the same light. They think you're killing a person and they think that should be illegal.

> And, yes, even lots of atheists like me get increasingly uncomfortable with abortions after the first trimester. And it's not because of any religious doctrine.

I did say that I think abortions after the early stages of pregnancy are a more complicated question.

However, legal personhood and religious personhood are and should remain separate concepts. Even more, the legal question of abortion is not settled even if we accepted that legal personhood begins at fertilization - the interests of the mother, and of society, can still outweigh the rights of that legal person.

And as a religious person, you should be able to separate your personal belief that someone is committing a sin when having an abortion, and ending a life, from the rights and needs of that person. Just like we expect people who hold cows as sacred animals not to seek to stop us from killing and eating cows.
Collecting continuous product feedback from real users
Hi,

Our team at Hubble has been iterating on several different ideas at this point, and we have continued to realized that it's super painful to gather good product feedback from real users. Especially when working on early prototypes and concepts, we have tried to get user feedback via email but the response rates are not as high and scheduling meetings through zoom is very time consuming. We are trying to gage if people have similar problems and whether it's a real problem that people would pay for.

Our solution to the problem is building an in-product SDK so that real users can enroll into interactive UX studies and provide product feedback as they are using the product. This way, product teams can (1) target real users effectively and (2) get higher quality data as well as better response rates than email campaigns.

Curious to hear from product people what they think and whether they are already using solutions to get good product feedback from their users.
The original version was a browser extension. It was very painful to maintain support for all the different types of input fields. Most large social media sites do not use standard text areas.

I'm not twisting their words; you've simply lost the ability to comprehend text that pertains to abortion.

> Similarly, the argument goes, you should have the legal right to have an abortion (or at least induce labor, if viability is possible) at any point during a pregnancy.

What does "at least induce labor, if viability is possible" mean to you?
