> I wonder if everyone has a different optimum here based on different eyesight, screen size, and usage patterns. I always have a slightly different zoom on every website I visit.

I would think so. And because of that, accessibility is an essential topic. Luckily, this snippet will automatically follow your zoom level and/or font size settings.

> Google is one of the few companies known to have caught, fired, and officially publicly named an employee who did something like this

Not disagreeing with your broader point, but that specific employee was not caught by Google but was reported externally by parents of the minors after abusing access for months. I suspect the incident you linked predates
- and was the impetus for - many controls that were subsequently added

Speaking speculatively: I've never worked for Google
Yes, I certainly care for myself more than chickens, deers, cows, pigs, ducks, fish, and many other animals that have found their way to my plate over the years. I don’t humanize them, because they are not humans, their food. You referred to them as “anyone”, which indicates you blur that line.

One difference between us…I would never pass judgement on someone who chooses to eat a plant based diet. However, being well experienced with vegans I have come to expect that moralistic evangelical aspect of folks that choose that lifestyle.

WHOIS having privacy guards was a thing at least as far back as 15 years ago, as memory serves.
Sounds like a curious demand from the monarchy!
I worked on something similar, and have a superior rewrite in progress somewhere locally.

https://codepen.io/Ravenstine/pen/gyMVNx

It's more for editing HTML than presenting it. The idea is to use a monospace font because the sizing is consistent enough that elements can be overlayed on top of a textarea. The textarea avoids the complications of things like contenteditable or whatever that attribute is that I'm thinking of. In that Codepen iteration, the tags aren't exactly selectable, but it's written in such a way that they could easily support click events. I do still want to get it to a 1.0 state eventually.
Clearly we should all just use unixtime with seconds from midnight if you want a relative local time of day

SI units can then be used instead of minutes, days, etc

Makes much more sense

Nvidia driver support is indeed garbage, but AMD is great for video games, stable diffusion, etc these days.

The OOM situation is a dumb systemd thing. Presumably some distros will ship working setups.

I haven't had any problems with Majaro. I've been using Linux since the pppd days, but the last time I tried (2019?) it took me over a day to get Ubuntu LTS's DNS client to resolve sites in under thirty seconds. YMMV.

Also, Devuan isn't bad for single user setups.
>Let these voters suffer their decisions seems like the only option?

Seems perfectly fine. And maybe they decide that they don't actually want to pay for some public services or they're fine with more automated/online versions of certain things. For example, where I live you do a lot more associated with the DMV online than you used to and I assume significantly fewer people are employed. Of course there can be issues with access and those need to be dealt with.

It's not clear to me that, in general, state governments are massively underfunded.
In the original link there is this:

Al-Aly and two other researchers looked at the health records of 250,000 veterans who had been infected once with COVID; 36,000 who had been infected twice, and 2,000 who had been infected three times.

Using a “hazard ratio” — a measure of how often bad things happen to one group compared to another — the researchers found that the risk of heart, brain, kidney and blood complications all increased with each subsequent infection.

If I were a political leader I would be frightened:

What will happen in terms of healthcare costs after 10 years?
I wonder how much of this is due to social ostracism.

Even on HN, it's hard for people to hide their snide for those who avoid meat.
Or it’s an elephant powder, and they just think that it’s doing something.

What are the symptoms of an ‘unclean’ Mac? It should be possible to say with some exactness what’s causing them with the use of diagnostic tools like ‘top’, or just the Activity Monitor app.

I’ll admit that _fixing_ issues might not be straightforward - but I can’t recall the last time I reinstalled my Mac aside from buying a new one with a new installation - although I don’t think that should really count...

Dave is out walking early one morning. The streets are quiet, but for one man sprinkling a white powder along the middle of the road. Intrigued, Dave approaches the man and asks what he is doing.

The man explains he is sprinkling elephant powder - he does it every morning. Dave is visibly puzzled. The man continues “it keeps the elephants away”.

Dave, still puzzled, says “But there are no elephants here!”.

In agreement the man exclaims “Great stuff, isn’t it!”
I'm definitely not qualified to know how hard it would be to improve the tooling, I just know greg hendershott single handedly did racket's tooling for Emacs. I'm just surprised there's not more interest considering how cool it would be to be able to spelunk through Guix internals with good debugging tools.
> private firms are rapidly raising compensation. Government employers have been slower to adapt

Reads like someone has discovered that the government sector has a hard time competing with the capitalist sector.
GP suggests capping power, not energy, which avoids this scenario.
I dont feel embarrassed. I'm glad I took the chance. I take chances like that regularly. I don't consider it a failure at all. My team and manager considered me a badass and leader for taking the leap, and we all had a good laugh, too.

"If you want to succeed, you must double your number of failures."

I have had so many suprises and successes by taking chances like that. And even when I don't come out ahead in the short term, I at least get exposure to and practice on new things.
When the Washing Machine Challenge starts trending on TikTok, there will be an article about it in the "paper of record".

Of course, I had to google. From the UK Mirror, not the Times:

I think you are giving this too much credit. A .beat is a scalar multiple of a minute. Retrieving an item takes one minute, disinfecting a counter takes three minutes, resolving a P1 takes five minutes.

The issue is really the imprecision of language IMO.

What about the Navy radar tracks for an intercepting missile, and how those, like witness accounts, were actively discounted and suppressed, in favor of a "no missile" narrative?
Avianca Flight 203, the one Pablo Escobar blows up in the TV show Narcos, was probably an engine failure.

As usual the official story and some details don't match, and the plane engines misterously disappeared from the crash site, preventing further inspection.

The FBI was involved.

Entirely different market 320xx vs ARM (at the time and even now). The simplicity you're advocating as successful for ARM was not applicable for the market NSC was attempting to compete in.

The 320xx, like the 68k, was targeting the nascent Unix workstation market and minicomputer-competition. It was explicitly VAX like -- except simplified (apparently 32xx was quite a clean and consistent architecture). As others have pointed out, it supported everything needed for virtual memory (better than the 68k, actually)

I am not sure ARMv1 (and v2) even had supervisor vs user mode, etc.? (It may have, Google isn't helping me here)

Eventually the 68k ended up in consumer microcomputers (Amiga, Atari ST, etc.) but it started out in that same market. People who wanted to take a bite out of VAX's lunch (which was big money back then.)

The ARM was built by a microcomputer company, for the next generation of their microcomputers. And then for the nest 30 years it was used in various forms for embedded and portable / low-power systems (apart from the ill-fated Archimedes line which was kind of Atari/Amiga/Mac level competition) . It's only in the last few years that we're seeing it in server and workstation class systems.

Note that Apple was an investor and user in ARM from the very earliest days but only in the last couple of years has seen it wise to put it into that class of machine. They went from 68k to PowerPC, and from PowerPC to Intel without choosing ARM for the job, even though they were already a huge ARM customer and had already ported their OS.

Different market, different kind of project.
My senior project in college was "Trombone Hero", which was a game based on guitar hero. I had an old trombone, and I took apart a cheap gamepad and put the sensors along a custom PVC pipe slide at positions 1 - 7. There was then a button attached to it that you would press for "blowing".

I then made a little tool that would play music and record inputs to generate the "levels". I used some Beatles songs I had on a CD, and then recorded each note individually on a real trombone to superimpose on the song.

I made the game engine with some Java graphics library that I don't remember. I was really proud of this when I made it, and is always a fun story to tell.

I found an old video from ~2012 when I demoed it to the class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rawTtdv50s
Do you know if gphotos-sync downloads the photos in their original quality/version?

Uh, why not? This would be perfect for touch screens. And accelerometers. Just imagine the Joy-Con chaos.
Ask HN: Blog writing tools for developer focussed blog?
I m working on a product that will be geared towards developers and I want to write articles and blog posts where I could easily embed code snippets etc with syntax highlighting. Any tools that are built for this ? Markdown support huge plus.
I remember some big iron could do it with processors and memory as well. IIRC, you can no longer remove CPUs with IBMs, but replacing memory is relatively simple.
It seems to agree with this study: https://www.thelancet.com/cms/10.1016/S0140-6736(22)00847-9/... Looking at table S1, Western Europe, second-to-last column (male TMREL), 2020 numbers, the age range 20-24 should only drink 0.155 grams alcohol/day, or about 1 12-oz beer (US standard drink) every 3 months. This is pretty close to sobriety.

But at age 30-34 the recommended amount jumps to 1.48 grams/day or one beer every week and a half, and from there gradually increases until at 80+ it is 44.6 grams/day or 3 beers every day. So sobriety is good when you're young but when you get middle-aged you should start drinking for your health.
How do you know? With full access, it's basically impossible to tell.
Sure, it’s subjective. However, you realize that I am not an outlier here right? For all of human history, it’s been universally regarded that some animals are food
Being struck violently by an unarmed missile could have caused a massive structural failure of the aircraft, which then exploded.

> literally zero evidence for it.

There is literally circumstantial evidence for it, as well as eye-witness testimony. This is not "proof" by any stretch, but it's certainly evidence.

So we could have rolling blackouts sooner, because without storage to sort out intermittencies and without gas they are inevitable.
They also have it with disks local and remote. The idea is that the CPU is running user code 100% of the time and that it doesn’t need to wait for anything.
DocQuery (https://github.com/impira/docquery), a project I work on, allows you to do something similar, but search over semantic information in the PDF files (using a large language model that is pre-trained to query business documents).

For example:

$ docquery scan "What is the due date?" /my/invoices/
/my/invoices/Order1.pdf What is the due date?: 4/27/2022
/my/invoices/Order2.pdf What is the due date?: 9/26/2022
...

It's obviously a lot slower than "grepping", but very powerful.
hopefully not too dumb a question, but why put this on html instead of body?
Kazakhstan, paradoxically, as it stands today is the most successful and prosperous country of ex-USSR. Baltic states have larger GDP/person but also a slew of other issues.

I'd try to not ruin that when taking any reforms into account.
This is what I do. Write C in C++. You don't have to use all the fancy new shit. I'll never understand why people get so upset about it.
Is that why they think that? It doesn’t seem that weird when I see these really awkward youngsters on yt, reddit and Twitter. But that cannot be the actual reason; it’s probably just their parents who say it’s cool.
My persistence level was very low, as I said. So bear with me if I tell you that the song "Beautiful Dreamer" was the killer. I just could NOT hit that C on "dream-ER."

Scott's played with every big orchestra in the Bay Area, as a sub. When their regular horn player can't make it, he's the one they call.
I pace many half marathon and marathon races. Usually what I need for that is: instantaneous pace, average pace, and lap distance.

I tend to plan my pacing for equal effort, so each lap pace is adjusted for elevation such that in the end the overall pace is just slightly faster than what is needed for goal pace.

Needless to say, I use my Garmin Forerunner 945 for this.

If anyone is running the Seattle Marathon, I'll be there pacing :)

That's on you, it's been a popular theory for many years, since the very beginning. It's one of the most popular government coverup stories there is.
Why are LASERs and railguns better than biological weapons? At least the more efficient a biological weapon is the less it hurts. Not an option while literally burning someone with a LASER or pushing a piece of metal through their body.

(Of course biological weapons are bad, but I don't get this preference of yours)

You can also drink water, juices or non-alcoholic beer and cocktails when you go out to bars. Nothing says you need to drink alcoholic beverages only. As long as you're paying, bartenders are happy to tailor something non-alcoholic for you without judging.

Actually it is just a coincidence, both numbers happen to be the same. Fed does not “set” unemployment rates but they are predicting the effect of the policy will be 4.4% unemployment by the end of 2023. Separately, the median forecast for fed funds rate by the end of 2022 is 4.4%. From Fortune:

“Officials expect the benchmark rate to rise to 4.4% by year end and 4.6% during 2023, according to the median estimate in updated quarterly projections published alongside the statement.
…
The updated forecasts also showed unemployment rising to 4.4% by the end of next year and the same at the end of 2024 — up from 3.9% and 4.1%, respectively, in the June projections.”

The old SAS Survival Handbook (by John Wiseman) contains the advice that if you feel any “tingle” in a thunderstorm, get on the ground, preferably hitting the ground with your hands/arms first. I wonder how much it’s based on anything that helps in real life.

(Stretching out arms sounds strange, don’t you want to minimize your reach of contact points with the ground, considering how many V/m there will be if lightning strikes close to you?)
How much does it pay compared to the private sector?
I think it might have been Andy Hopper who pushed the RISC papers forward (IBM / Berkeley etc).

There is an interesting interview with Hermann where he says that Acorn asked Intel for a special version of the 80286. I've always been puzzled by that given how weak the 286 was!
you'll probably go a crusade either way. what a weird focus anyway, feels very "eat the rich" style when the earth doesn't care where the carbon comes from.

I love Swatch Internet Time - as others have mentioned, I used it constantly via Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast. I used the .beats watchface on my Pebble until it died, too.

A second run at .beats with a clear mind and an open standard could nail down the awkward parts (Set 000 as midnight UTC for example) but I doubt there is the motivation to try the exercise again.
EdTech and Steam Courses for Your Children
Children Class: A Virtual of World History - This course surveys the history of human development, from prehistoric man through the information revolution. Scattered throughout the survey of historical developments in a variety of world cultures will be a number of “framework lessons” that will deal with super-topics. These topics will identify parallel processes and events in diverse geographic and cultural arenas, with the aim of classifying and pointing to the general developmental progress of the entire human race. During the course, students will also examine integrative historical processes, i.e., how parallel historical processes brought different cultures and societies closer together, while also examining separation processes, meaning how parallel processes led to a distancing of cultures and societies one from the other. The content of this course will present a broad overview of human history, giving a general context that will complement the specific historical fields the student will encounter in his studies in the School of History’s various departments. This course will also trace how human culture has developed to the point it is at today. The course provides all the students in the School of History with a common body of basic knowledge. https://tagpros.us/class/enroll/CLS001395
This draws on Chesterton's perspective on tradition. He's most famous around here for his Fence. Past the part that is commonly cited, he says this [0]:

> The gate or fence did not grow there. It was not set up by somnambulists who built it in their sleep. It is highly improbable that it was put there by escaped lunatics who were for some reason loose in the street. Some person had some reason for thinking it would be a good thing for somebody. And until we know what the reason was, we really cannot judge whether the reason was reasonable.

> ...

> If he knows how it arose, and what purposes it was supposed to serve, he may really be able to say that they were bad purposes, or that they have since become bad purposes, or that they are purposes which are no longer served. But if he simply stares at the thing
as a senseless monstrosity that has somehow sprung up in his path, it is he and not the traditionalist who is suffering from an illusion.
