You can always find an outlier who is new to something, but you'd have to show that it's more than a majority of the users to motivate changing the default. Otherwise it's obviously more unintuitive.

At least you'd have to get a sample big enough to make a statistically significant conclusion.

And the burden of proof is on you, because you are changing the default, not the other way around.

Think of any other products, they all have established default behaviours, yet it's also very easy to find someone who's never used a product before and finds it "unintuitive".

And intuitiveness is only one part of usability anyway.
Yes, I agree, you can get a more nuanced take on what I'm getting at by looking at papers that just ask the question: "Can we measure GDP from space?".

And the answer is, yeah kind of, but with various caveats.

And looking at those that ask "can we measure human welfare with GDP?"

And the answer is, yeah kind of, but with various caveats.

This paper builds on both of those and somewhat sweeps the caveats under the rug to make a point about autocracies.

It feels like a PR pitch for "free markets", which I broadly agree with, but still don't want to see badly drawn graphs of.

I think it was the naming of only a few countries that really set of my "how to lie with graphs" alarm.
Really glad to see more people switching to meow[0]. It felt extremely right after using and being frustrated by both standard emacs and evil.

I wrote the article [1] linked in the post, so that was really fun to see as well!

I'm so grateful TEDx has such talented speakers like Tim Morely who is speaking in the video you shared. I guess when I organize my company's workshop in January 2023 I'll hire Jeannie Walters (who is a TEDx speaker as well) to hold the whole meeting. Her voice and manner of speaking are so attractive and she keeps your attention the whole meeting. (Customer experience)Customer experience of the speakers you can hire on https://keynotespeakers.info/customer-experience-speakers/ is at the highest level, trust me. I already worked with keynotespeakers and I found them professionals in what they can offer a customer.
More than that, for many years, the odd minor releases were unstable (1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.3) and the evens were stable (1.2, 2.0, 2.2, etc). There could definitely be big churn going from 1.2 -> 2.0, 2.0 -> 2.2 and so on.

For a while Google needed Mozilla (and Safari) to point at and say: see, competition.

Now that they have Edge, they need neither. Because they can now pretend that Edge is something else but a glorified Chrome fork and follower.

See, for example, WebTransport which as a standard doesn't even exist beyond some scribbles on a napkin https://web.dev/webtransport/

--- start quote ---

The WebTransport features described in this article are shipping in Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers, starting with version 97.

Firefox does not currently have support for WebTransport. Updates on their position can be found in this GitHub issue.

Safari does not currently have support for WebTransport.

Covering only 95% cases means you save a lot of money, part of which can be used for those rare events. Does taking a taxi to see a dying relative a couple hundred miles away cost a lot? Sure, but owning a ton of unused capacity for years costs a lot more.
Nice! Although the naming could be a bit better, because I cannot be the only one who thought that this has to do with https://matrix.org
There's also an Elden Ring demake for Gameboy[1] (which Iron Pineapple reviewed favourably[2]), a Bloodborne NES demake[3], and Yarntown which is Bloodborne demade as Zelda[4].

In summary, I don't think the art of handheld[5] demakes is at all lost.

Is this a real quote ?
On the other hand, you can refill a pressurized hydrogen tank in seconds. Electricity itself is merely a mode of energy transmission. Energy storage has and will continue to be a huge innovation area as the current means of battery charging are either slow or low capacity. We’re getting really good at getting energy from the sun, and excess energy not consumed is wasted, so why not make hydrogen? Heck, why not have fuel stations in the middle of nowhere have a well (for water extraction) and an array of solar panels so the station can produce its own product to sell?

I can see a future where you can opt for a hydrogen fuel cell EV rather than a battery powered one. Efficiently using the hydrogen will be a non-issue if we are able to trivially produce a vast abundance of it.

It’s hard to say that an EV is just as good (for the consumer) as an ICE engine if I am taking a road trip and one of many fill-ups makes me wait for hours. There are these uncommon cars that opponents usually cite and are sometimes unfairly dismissed. I say this because we can and will make EV technology better and cheaper and I’m willing to bet money that hydrogen fuel cell in lieu of batteries will become a thing.
Why would that be worse ?

I worked for 3 years as a Go developer before doing this course and I still learned so much from it. Thank you Bill Kennedy, you're a wonderful instructor!
>For a startup, it’s not enough to have followers. If you want people to evangelize for you, stand up for you, and stick with you long term, you need fanatics.

When I worked in adtech, I proposed a simple solution to ad fraud on our platform - assume any UA coming from an IP range owned by a cloud provider was a bot and don't show them ads, don't count their impressions.

Worst case, people using a VPN hosted on EC2 might not see an ad, but I was certain they'd cope. Best case, higher quality traffic increases yields.

The business team vetoed that, it would adversely impact their numbers in the current quarter, and well, a significant proportion of their total comp was bonuses tied to those numbers. Also, the shareholders seemed to be of the mindset that has infected cryptocurrency speculators where no matter what, the spice must flow, wait, I mean, the number go up.

Then there were all the "bonuses" and "incentives" negotiated with big advertisers or publishers. We just referred to them as kickbacks, because they totally are, but labeling something in code as kickbackPercentage was verboten. Just in case.

Advertising has always been corrupt. Bots just corrupt it a little further.

Show HN: We designed and implemented graph projection feature
Hi all! I'm one of the developers that were working on this project for some time. In recent months, users started to ask us more frequently about the ability to run algorithms on a part of graph stored in database - subgraph. Now to do this, we extended the implementation of C API we had and brought to you the graph project feature that enables running algorithms on a specific subset of a graph stored in the database.

You can now do graph analysis with PageRank, degree centrality, betweenness centrality, or any other algorithm on subgraphs without any additional adjustments. Before you had to create new query procedure. You can fire up a graph machine learning algorithm, such as Temporal graph networks and split the dataset inside the query to do training and validation without splitting the dataset programmatically. And last but not least, you can use your graphics card to run one of cuGraph's algorithms on subgraph in terms of seconds.

You can find the whole explanation in blog post [1] and you can checkout the code at Memgraph GitHub [2]. Furthermore you can check cuGraph's algorithms we have integrated [3]

I'd like to hear your feedback on our approach. Also if you have any general feedback, just write it in the comments :)

"The DTN architecture depends on time synchronization among DTN nodes (supported by external, non-DTN protocols)" (Section 3.12)

This is rather surprising for a protocol intended to be used in interplanetary networking and got me wondering about the expected solution to have DTN nodes sitting on Earth, on Mars, on a probe traveling beyond Saturn agree on time synchronization.

Operation Gladio
I am currently staying in the Philippines, and I am constantly trying (and mostly failing) at getting Filipinos interested in software engineering and programming, especially women. Women here just don't consider technology to be a valid career. The traditional professional career track for Filipinas is usually nursing, physical therapy, medical coding, or other medical careers based in hospitals.

Personally, I would love to start a top notch offshore software dev company here, but the sad fact is that this country doesn't allow 100% ownership for foreign investors.
Taxation is one of the biggest issues of the western economic model. At what point do national debts reach a level that requires 90% taxation? I am surprised that people dont see how anti capitalistic overtaxing the middle class is. Money no longer flows freely, it clogs at the top and gets squeezed from the middle.
I've said this on here before:

Ad blockers need to make no attempt to function at all with MV3. They should maybe even go out of their way to not work. Any ad blocker installed on chrome should just bring up a message that said (not 100% truthfully) that ad blocking can't be made to work on Chrome, please go to Firefox to continue ad free browsing.

This will shift a lot of users. Especially the more technical ones who then tell their less tech savvy friends and when they go home for Thanksgiving they can just install Firefox on dad's computer so he stops falling for stupid scam ads.

This can work, and I think work pretty well. This does not mean that Firefox is the end all, be all. That hypothetical usurper browser you mention can still swoop in and scoop up the new Firefox users as well as the poor saps who stayed on Chrome.
Not if each models' consumer preferences size vastly differ. For example, I am sure that Model 3 has much more of a mass market attractiveness than Model S, if only due to being half the price (and smaller).
Thats great, then you can use the same for your password.
Hey, if you're ok with the packages in Manjaro that's fine... Kind of my whole point of this thread is, you do you... If you like it, that's all that matters.

As for servers.. that's where I kind of shift from bleeding edge to stability. I have a homelab, and it's a mix of debian and FreeBSD VMs. I love both of those options for servers.. debian because it supports cloudinit a little better and is stable, and FreeBSD when i don't need all the cloudinit support..

As for fedora as an OS

Desktop yes, Server ... Probably not. There's better choices out there. Its good yeah. But it just seems to be a bit bloated for my needs.

Fedora Desktop is really really good. Its not Arch levels of bleeding edge, (it can be with Fedora Rawhide) but it's close enough. Especially when you enable the repos that have the latest packages.
Out of curiosity do you draw a distinction between something like Newtonian physics and areas farther removed from everyday life such as high energy physics?
We discovered it first hand - we run Lab401.
PayPal seized ~50k from us (check the first link in my original post).

It took us literally a month of calling LU law firms until we finally found one that didn't have ties to / being the tentacles of PayPal.
We already have a lot of excess capacity at night. Slowly charging EVs could even be a net-boon for required peaker plants if people could cover their own needs for the 15% of the day
If there's a big explosion in Los Alamos I'm going to think it's a nuclear explosion even if everyone else says it's a meteor. Balance of probability is that the biological weapons lab was doing biological weapons research and it got out.

Without a non virologist investigating what happened there this is the same level of believability as cops clearing themselves of wrong doing in an afternoon.
Strange choice to stress misogyny. Women see attractive models in advertising, they think "unachievable beauty ideals, I feel pressured". I see the same, I think "it exploited my biology to grab my attention, damn it worked again". Is it misogyny or is it mis-everyone, let's make money?
Buses and taxis make the sense to switch to EV:s first, since they drive the most and the total lifetime cost is dominated by energy cost and maintenance, not the investment.

If you think about the limited battery supply chain, with the minerals, components, modules etc, it doesn't make so much sense to put them to huge battery SUV:s that mostly just sit on the driveway or office parking lot.

This too will eventually happen, but it's better for the economy and the climate to put them where they are actually displacing the most fossil fuels.

High GDP countries in Europe have a high tax per GDP because of the political culture, so this could be just an artefact.
This is a pretty poor way of transferring value. High likelihood of theft or loss, long transfer time, low maximum legal limits. It may beat Bitcoin as a one-off workaround with no need to scale, but unlikely to beat L2 ERC20 crypto payments over the long term.
Slight correction - I think sea sand is okay in concrete, it's the desert sand that's no good, too rounded. But there's a lot of desert sand in China.
I guess it's important because momentum is a vector, and the debris fly off in a direction on average opposite to where we anted to push it, so this also means that the momentum of the asteroid itself has been changed by (at least) that negative ? But why is this better than a perfectly inelastic impact without any debris ? Was a significant fraction of the asteroid blown away ?
How does your company use GPG for security? In what cases it works well?
Thanks.
Are you using youtub-dl?
What would you gain in that situation? Just some radiation shielding. Most stories about hollowing out asteroids wanted to gain at least some structural rigidity, which in your scenario comes entirely from the concrete you have to ship into space. Ideally you would want to melt the asteroid and blow it up to kilometers across and/or spin it for artificial gravity. Heating and melting foam is harder than solid rock or metal, and spinning it is useless if it has no strength in tension.
I wonder where the non-NSO offensive companies' products end up going. Like, NSO is absolutely not the only player in this game by a long shot (they're hardly the largest even) and yet they have dozens of Citizenlab pieces on them. Was NSO just particularly shit at writing implants or something and thus they are the only ones getting caught? It's truly bizarre that they leave behind that much forensic evidence.
Advertising is corrupt by nature.

Project description in the README:

> Maigret collect a dossier on a person by username only...

The About field:

> Collect a dossier on a person by username from thousands of sites

"on a person" seems to imply that they'd belong to someone in particular. Obviously if you have any experience of creating accounts you'd know that's unlikely to be the case, and it's not written in a promissory tone. But it does imply it.
I agree, which is why I said in my post that I am generalising. I am sure that the market size for each model is not exactly 25% but nonetheless, if you ditch models you ditch access to specific markets.

Shame we don't have the model sales numbers from Tesla to be more specific here.
> Democracy is just better at resource allocation.

It’s not democracy that’s better at resource allocation, it’s the free market.

Authoritarian regimes can seldom allow the free market to operate, because if they do it accumulates too much wealth / economic power outside the authoritarian’s control.

But there are examples of non-democracies with free market economies, e.g. Hong Kong under British rule.
The most disappointing element of this whole process was to see PayPal manipulating the entities that are meant to provide regulatory control.

In this instance the CSSF is rigorous, but ultimately rigid. They have clearly defined boundaries and protocols. The problem is that companies such as PayPal exploit this to their benefit - which means that they ultimately use the watchdog entities as peons to execute their illegal practices.
Cool. Please ping me when you go to Ha Noi in the future.
Have you actually tried using uBlock Origin Lite or Adguard on MV3? I've used both and they have worked flawlessly. Currently I prefer Adguard because all websites are opted-in to cosmetic styling by default.

Orcs are pretty cool characters. Lotr orcs are more brainwashed, but Warcraft orcs are cooler and explicitly say that they only follow the strongest. So comparison of the FSF sympathising developer horde to orcs is not an insult.

I’m just observing that the FSF needs the magic torch to be passed on to the next generation and doesn’t believe in organic leadership changes at least at the top level.
If I am not wrong, some of the probelms AlphaFold can solve are quite limited. Even if the results are promising, protein folding is an insanely complicated problem and having tools like alphaFold be good at some aspects of it can be useful but cannot crack the bigger nut by design as far as I am aware.

It currently performs ok on protein prediction but cannot do new proteins, which would theoretically be possible with quantum computers. And its not just a matter of giving alphafold more resources they are entirely different problems
yeah but no... vim 4 layf
You want to be uniquely good and I think it's because we all want to feel "safe" in our tribe - as if our unique skill makes us specially valuable.

Now our Tribe seems to be enormously large and it's far harder to feel special - there is fierce competition. But in reality we are all part of a system that is not a tribe but we're still trying to think of it as if it was and one can be "safe" in it and happy without having to feel too unique.

You can be locally famous for things still. Live music is still better than recordings and a painting by someone you know is still better than one you bought off the internet.

I suggest ignoring the vastness of talent out there because it's not the right way to draw a feeling of safety and self worth. You only have to be the best dad in the world to your own kids - the other kids in the world have their own best dad.
> In some parts of italy you get a Tesla for like $8000

Completely false.

In Italy, in certain periods and under certain conditions, you get "up to" 6,000 euros of incentives if you buy an EV. You still pay north of 30,000 euros to buy a Tesla Model 3 (the basic model of course) even after incentives.
Sure, but we do have flexbox now. And CSS grid. And have done for over a decade.
You are free to start a corporation and structure its decision making any way you see fit.
I wonder if the two are not quite as separate as you suggest? Can the market be free without some kind of functioning democracy? Without democracy the market as you say is very unlikely to be free. Even with imperfect democracy we still see market failures due to monopoly power, externalities, and corruption.
There are these moments when last shreds of motivation urge me to emigrate (again) to some developed EU country, then I quickly launch net-gross salary calculator and I'm better off sitting on a chair where I am starring at the wall... and fuck your real estate and rental markets too.

> Isn't the point that finally there is a discussion what a due process looks like?

What do you mean, 'finally'? People who were appalled by Carlsen's tantrums were insisting on it from the very start. If you have an evidence of cheating, present it. If you don't, stop behaving like a spoiled child and do not bully your opponent.
Though a more common failure state is 2 wolves telling 98 sheep that "democracy sucks, don't listen to these experts/socialists/Jews, we need a strong wolf in charge" and getting 1/3 of the sheep to vote for them, in a near literal "When I voted for the Leopards eating people's faces party, I didn't expect the leopards to eat my face!" situation.

Just to confirm that there are people who agree with the author: this tidbit actually kept me reading the article! It was the new eMacs thing I learned today. I thought it was much easier to read after aligning. As long as things stay within a reasonable width, that brand of consistency (read “columns”) makes it easier for me to read.

You can make it yourself at home, and it will be probably much tastier!
> and then you can just press "e" to repeat it again and again.

You can also pass C-x e a 0-prefix argument (M-0 C-x e) and it will repeat the macro until the bell rings, which usually happens when a movement command like forward-line, forward-sexp, etc. reaches the end of a buffer.

Another strategy is to record a macro that only operates on a single line, then mark the region you want to repeat it in for every line and then execute it on all these lines using C-x C-k r.
