> UIs have dropped key affordances and visual cues in favour of oversimplified design elements.

Definitely agree, it's not quite as bad in enterprise products, but consumer products definitely prioritize aesthetics and visual design over usability.

> UI/UX designers started to optimise for juicing the maximum amount of money and attention out of users too - the focus on "calls to action" and notifications is one example.

In my experience most of those user-hostile changes typically came from A/B testing and short-sighted product managers.

Good designers (and developers too) will push back when management asks them to implement dark patterns so they are certainly not blameless, but at least in my experience it's not quite accurate to say that these changes come from UI/UX designers.
> Make them EVs.

Only makes them last longer if you leave the LTE modem and dmca and safety regulation backed repair countermeasures out.

According to many of Biden's economic advisers, it is.

For example:
"Of course economists have a technical definition of recession, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth."

-- The head of Biden's National Economic Council, in a past life, apparently.

You can find many other examples in the past of his advisors defining a recession as two quarters of negative GDP. And you can find many examples in the past of the press defining a recession as two quarters of negative growth.

"two negative quarters in a row is a standard indicator for an economic recession."

-- Washington Post, fact checking Donald Trump

In some degradation curves for lithium batteries, it looks like degradation is linear down to 80% over around 150 cycles. From then it degrades to 0% over another 100 cycles.

From the curves in your link, it seems EVs have fewer cycles per year than mobile phones or laptops.

But after 15-20 years, their batteries will still most likely be dead.

>”You beclown yourself by believing there is or has ever been an objective definition. There is not and has never been.”

Okay, consider myself beclowned then. So how did economists define all of the previous recessions on record? I know that ‘a recession’ is not a scientific measurement, it is a conventional definition.

But don’t you find it odd that the administration wants to jettison the conventional definition when it applies to the economy under their leadership? Right before the midterms, no less?

Before kids, I biked 20 miles every other day and played a field sport several times a week. When my first kid was born, I had to drop the sports and I switched to jogging while pushing a pram. Now that my kids are older, I coach them in the sport I played and given it is an open field sport I get a good amount of exercise just coaching and demonstrating.

The important part in my opinion to to keep active. Even 20 mins a day is a big win.
Yep, that was one of the better docs!

The contractor still took a couple weeks to figure out and get up. I assumed it'd be one evening for initial bulk as we already had setup.cfg etc, but after searching conda tutorials.. not surprised. Our ~final meta file is pretty simple, so no idea why the docs are so indirect.
But as you can see in the Reddit comments, there are people posting screen shots showing that is absolutely not true. Which leaves 3 options:

1. The UX was confusing and the OP couldn't find those options.

2. Stripe somehow has some logic that disables it specifically for that person or that person's region.

3. The OP didn't actually try and is lying in their post.

1 and 3 are more negative reflections on the OP than Stripe. And for 2 I'd need more details.

I saw this in the replies to the comment:

> The "chat" and "have us call you" options get greyed out once they have frozen your account.

But from my own experience, that is wrong. Also OP didn't say their account was frozen just that the money from that particular transaction was being held.

I get this, but do you wake up due to lack of expected noise or movement?
yes. it. is.

We were already in one as I said months ago before and the warning signs were there. [0] [1]

Also, you can ignore the badly aged reply in [1] as they are completely incorrect about 'We are most certainly not in a recession.' with the release of these figures. Since everyone knows that you should not wait for the danger to come until someone else tells you that it is now too late. Just like waiting for the figures to tell us right now.

As soon as that happens, you are already too late to prepare for it. November was the time to prepare for the worst. Now it is too late to prepare for that as it is already getting worse now.

> Removing private cars from cities won't revolutionise them, when the roads are still going to be full of commercial vehicles, buses, and taxis

That sounds pretty revolutionary to me already? Why don't you think so?

There's lots of existing plans to improve those other things too, pedestrian only zones, car-free superblocks, e-cargo bikes replacing some commercial vehicles, bike shares, subways and metro systems, bus rapid transit corridors, seperated bike-lanes, mixed-usage districts so that people have everything they need within a walkable radius.

Plan for cars and you get cars, plan for people and you get people.

Even if I accept your premise that cities are descending into "Escape from New York" territory, how does allowing ICE cars to spew pollution do anything but make that worse?

I think it's because you are going to cross through New Mexico or Utah first (unless we represent "you" as a point, line, or other zero-width object, and have it traverse a 45° line through the infinitely small point of intersection of the four states—which I'd say would be a kind of generous model for any path that happens in real life).

Tell HN: Trafficmanager Clones Entire Visual Studio Code Docs
I just DDG-ed some VSCode related things and landed on what seemed to be the official VSCode docs, including a download link to the IDE itself. Only on second glance I saw the link name https://vscode.trafficmanager.net/docs/remote/containers instead of https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers.

Now I know that there a lots of low quality SO and GH scrapers and clones, but this seems different in that it's a complete copy, including logos and links to Microsoft.

I can't imagine this site is legitimate, but apparently Microsoft Azure also has something called traffic manager.

So, what exactly is this site?
It's just so frustrating. Tech has this "winner takes all" mentality, there can only be one app to rule them all. That's what people are revolting against here... "make Instagram Instagram again".

The underpinnings of modern civilization is the state, and the base definition of the state is that which has the monopoly on violence.

The alternative is anarchy, and from anarchy a winner through any violence necessary will emerge and become the monopoly on violence becoming the state. You cannot have rule of law without coercion, and you cannot have coercion without some threat of violence.

This is repeated all over and over again, but this isn't more than a hollow phrase if the community is not able to handle conflicts without drama and witch hunts.

That’s because it’s not politically convenient to hold to that definition. When the other party is in the Whitehouse it will be though.

Wait, you're not supposed to run tests with pre-commit. I can see why that would be frustrating. If that's the case, your team is doing it wrong.
The arrival of widely available colour film photography and subsequent pervasiveness of bland JPEG renders changed how humans perceive colour (and likely how they design with colour).

Until colour photography, humans didn’t really have a fixed shared anchor as to what the world looks like in general—including colours. All we had was words and paintings.

With consumer colour photography, suddenly it seems as if we have that anchor…

Except it’s not actually the case. Discarding the fact that our perception of colours and shapes is highly idiosyncratic and happens over time (never as a discrete standalone moment), there’s no medium that’s even remotely close to being capable of reproducing the vast dynamic ranges of scene-referred light values at exposure time (and in case of JPEG or film photography, that data is never available in the first place). What can be conveyed is the tiny range reproducible by screens, film or ink on paper—and unless you take charge of scene data interpretation with your favourite raw processing software, the conversion to that range is a result of camera or film manufacturer’s design.

…But even though there’s no true anchor, thinking your phone’s interpretation of reality is just that may be enough for this to be a self-fulfilling prophecy—after all, perception is a socio-psychological phenomenon. We may have used to have our own individual truths, but now it’s very common to believe that bland, sRGB-safe default capture interpretation by our camera or phone is the objective reality of what the world looks like (and anything else must be disclosed as “enhancement” or “processing”)—and it’s not easy for an individual to get rid of that notion if everyone around believes in it.

Even the author of tweets like this runs with the same fallacy, and appears to showcase film and digital captures (and even 3D renders?) side by side, even while those are artifacts of drastically different ways of interpreting scene data.
Two annual quarters of negative growth has been the informal (maybe even formal?) definition for a while now.

Just because one party wants to change the definition to avoid hubbub to avoid losing political power does not change reality.
I have wasted many, many hours tracking down reference cycles, so in some sense, I welcome this change.

However, the scope creep of Swift is becoming nightmarish - nothing just makes sense anymore.

My hopes for Swift are that it teaches a whole generation how to program really compelling applications, full stack, in a profitable ecosystem (though open source, Swift is a 'gateway drug' to get people into the ecosystem). We will see if these decisions advance or detract from that.
That's one hell of a weak study
I hadn't heard about k8s "local storage". IIUC this fixes each pod to a single node, so the potential benefits of k8s can't be fully realized. It seems that clustering could still be achieved by running muliple instances across multiple nodes, each with local storage. I might still prefer this to having to manage NFS and any difficulties that might come from using MySQL with remote disks.

It just seems like k8s is coercing people to do things that they normally wouldn't do: MySQL on NFS, Postgres on Ceph, etc. In this case, OP just wants to "kubernetify my run of the mil lamp app" and is now being pointed towards NFS, Ceph, etc. I can't help but wonder if the juice is worth the sqeeze. Especially for services like databases that for most people probably don't really require dynamic provisioning or orchestration.

We don't know what relevance it might have, but it shows the OP participates in risky ventures in a sector with a lot of fraud. There could certainly be some part of the story that is important that OP chose to leave out because it makes him look bad.
A good way to get into things like that is to pitch in and help carry stuff: Don't ask, just find the people moving things and join the line. You may have to ask "where does this go?" when the person in front of you drops their object.

You can go far by simply asking to watch and learn, too. Sneakery is only really required where there's "security" that hasn't got enough to do already.
Really? Thats actually a super interesting theory that I had never considered before. Any more info, I'd love to look into this.

This is actually surprising common in the anecdotal experience of myself and my family. (Common that the train never leaves the origin station, though once my mother slept all night in Euston!)

The rolling stock is pretty modern, but the locomotives appear to be quite unreliable. Finding a replacement at short notice is tricky. I’ve been a handful of services where this happened.

The sleeper is generally unreliable in addition to the locomotive situation. The highlander services travel almost the entire length of the country making chances of running into a local issue in an ageing and underfunded rail network quite common.

Usually this means you are woken in the small hours and put on the first ‘day time’ alternative.

this is the best thing ever posted on HN..... going to restart the lord of the rings podcast now.
That the definition of a recession has always been 2 quarters of negative GDP. The administration now believes there is nuance in the numbers, so what was the accepted definition in the past is no longer.

The fact the media on whole has decided it's ok to redefine a commonly accepted definition when the administration promotes it lends itself to the media being a mouthpiece for the administration.

I am willing to understand nuance and a changing definition, as I am sure there are parts of the economy people are learning to deal with. Gig workers, workers headed back from retirement and more. This doesn't even touch on the self fulfilling prophecy of hearing that the country is in a recession.

I am less willing to accept a change in a short timeframe and right before numbers are released.

The title should be: How to create a "Python DISTRIBUTION package".

The term "python package" means something entirely different (or at the very least is ambiguous in a pypi/distribution context).

To add to the confusion, creating a totally normal, runnable python package in a manner that makes it completely self-contained such that it can be "distributed" in a standalone manner, while still being a totally normal boring python package, is also totally possible (if not preferred, in my view).

(shameless plug: https://github.com/tpapastylianou/self-contained-runnable-py... )
If the predictions are generally good enough, could also skip the validation and directly try to get a desired effect or reaction.
That isn't strictly speaking validating the structure, but depending on the use case might be easier to just go for an outcome - really a question of application and cost efficiency.
