The fact that you think this is a strong counter-argument is a bit telling.

War is different from the other things here, because it's not something a nationstate can unilaterally solve. But I don't think anyone disagrees that well-developed societies should strive to implement mechanisms that avoid war.

But hunger, universal healthcare, reduction of homelessness to a minimum and adequate social safety nets are all universally agreed-on goals for developed societies. And if you look outside the US you will find 50+ countries that are actually achieving these things. You may take the Wikipedia list of countries with universal healthcare as a starting point.
Absolutely

Software or sites that don't take that into account have decreased usability

The worse offenders are those who make you wait a lot then prompt you to click a non optional "Ok" before another waiting period. Thanks I hate it (I think there was a Windows install like that)
-- not sure about a complex solution however bet the GNOD guy would have an idea - he uses HN I think - https://www.twitter.com/marekgibney - less complex would be just grab a random result from each of the first 4 through 14 paginations of the google results? (it that makes sense?) --
Please try a few more searches.

What searches are you doing where it doesn't get anything? That would help me figure out what looks wrong, thank you for the feedback!
You don't have to revoke a key as soon as it is rotated. If you rotate every week you can have a job that runs every week, offset by one day, to revoke.
This looks / feels amazing!

Notes:

The back to top button is covered by the URL bar on Firefox mobile.

Also next page/column preview is too wide imho
Thank you for that! in my younger days I imagined a system like this would come sonner rather than later.

I also dont believe that there is really an incetive for corporations to keep the web "free" (as in freedom) and while - A LOT - of people are hyping the crypto scene or TOR as solutions, I have come to think, that we soon simply have identiy tokens (on cards or phones or usb sticks) and that identity will be provided not requested.

Its what the movie studios wanted since the 90s, its actually what your government wants too!

I finish with the thought that blocking the api for adblockers on chrome is only the beginning. And yeah, firefox also sends home a lot of data. We as programmers need to find solutions to this. It would be organized open source, but without proper funding, noone is going to be organized
Agreed it's no one's place to judge someone without knowing anything about their situation.

In saying that, where I come from in Australia it's extremely normal to spend early 20s in the family home, and I was usually the one encouraging my friends to get out. Not that there was something wrong with their families, but at least in this culture, I could see my friends living in unhappy bubbles, surrounded by the same family/friends they'd been around since they were kids, feeling trapped.

In those cases, getting out (different city, different country, at least different house) can be the best thing for people's personal development and even mental healths.

My point is just that it can go both ways depending on the specific situation.
For landowners they sell the free government services provided alongside their land and call it rent.

For money owners they sell the free liquidity services and call it interest (Marx defeated?).
Why Microsoft 365 is teaming up with OREO THINS to give you a break
i guess it doesn't work on my side. it only shows search bar, side bar, and that's it. i use firefox on windows 10 if that matters.

1 minute compile time? Not an opportunity to check your email or hacker news.

Sounds like a minute to explore optimizing your compiler settings though...
I had a similar thought to the previous commenter. Perhaps the overflow hints could take up half of the current width, which would allow for a slightly wider first and last column. That, along with with a gradient overlaid on the sides with overflow available, fading from white at the screen edge to transparent, may provide the visual affordance you’re seeking, and the de-emphasis that seems appropriate.
Well, It works and it's a cool idea but I just don't appreciate an Instagram feed in my search results. That thing tracks you like rescue dogs.
I’m not sure. I suspect that it does cause the phone to take more liberties regarding which key you “meant” to hit.
yes, i could google "motorised desk legs", but based on your description i imagine your desk is like that motorized alarm clock that you have to chase to shut off, which gets you out of bed? otherwise, i'm stumped...

googled it with DDG®, darn, i guess it just means a sitting/standing desk that can raise and lower the top easily
Thank you. Otherwise great idea to have some horizontal view on different topics :) The idea behind that can probably also be applied to internal search results where you need to gain quick insights into multiple topics related to one keyword.
Reminds me of the days before Google, when it was common practice to repeat the same search on a few search engines, and Apple released Sherlock [1], which allowed you to perform the same search across different engines and aggregated the results.

Neat. Search UX is at the same time extremely difficult and criminally under-explored I feel. I realize this is hard with third party data, but something I'm really interested in presenting the relationships between data, and offering means of exploring them.

One gripe with this design is that this page can't be scrolled on a PC. Or rather, it can only be scrolled vertically. To scroll horizontally, you need to grab an auto-vanishing single-pixel scroll bar. Although that's not really your fault as much as the browser designers' fixation with minimalist GUIs.

I also think it's difficult to have these many images in an interface, especially brightly colorful images of vastly different sizes with faces. They are all powerful attention attractors, and as a result, and the result is the (excellent) structure of the website doesn't quite come to flourish as much as it could.

But as I said, search UX is extremely difficult. This is a cool new take.
Thanks! Glad to hear

Really the issue is swapability. The way the system is constructed, there's basically one monolith for customer-facing services and another for internal ops, and some smaller shared databases, services and a bunch of backup. This hews to the company's security profile, and the lack of scattered microservices (which I now consider fortunate) is also a result of that years-ago migration from dedicated servers where these two interconnected systems evolved along separate trajectories [edit: to the point where the customer facing system still only writes to its own mark/sweep DB that's picked up by the internal system, or in rare cases accesses internal APIs by cUrl ... so either could still be anywhere]. Going up a tier on one or both of those monoliths would be more difficult and costly if they're reserved. So in a sense, a long reservation would just be good insurance against the business not growing. But no one wants to pull the trigger on that.
hoc facite in Meam commemorationem

Of course, He spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic, but even in clumsy translation to any language it remains a strong candidate for the most brilliant and, simultaneously, the most poetic idea ever spoken aloud.
It's hopefully obvious that I don't submit this link for its news at face value, but I do find it remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.
Kirby’s Pinball Land [1] is one of my favorite pinball games for this exact reason. 2D camera angle. Each table is divided into a set of full-screen partitions. I’ve never understood the appeal of 3D tables from bad camera angles.

I'm not saying you should move the schools away from the homeless people, or vice versa. I'm saying you should dramatically reduce the number of homeless people by providing them with a social safety net, and for those addicted to drugs to provide them with free treatment so they no longer have to resort to crime.

It's actually cheaper for society to treat the disease of drug addiction in a humane way, than to fight the crime that results when drug addiction is criminalized.
This sounds really interesting, I'm not a prospect but want to learn more about it. Can I get in touch with you somehow?
Possibly although the more I think about it, I think it was on a floppy disk rather than a CD.
There was a messaging lag between countries. You could discern pretty clearly what was doing to happen from whatever happened in Israel as they were roughly half a year ahead and almost simultaneously vaccinated everyone. Based on what happened there with both the initial vaccine and the boosters, you could tell that your local politicians, media and experts where lying and or obfuscating and misrepresenting facts.
Experiences with badly managed ticketing systems more than bug trackers. Inactivity and people not resubmitting requests is a hugely strong signal for people not actually caring about something.

Effort is just a strong signal and redoing something you already did that didn’t go anywhere signals a willingness to expend energy on a request that historically went nowhere which is a pretty good signal that it’s important to somebody.

A related truism is people who care about something will email you more than once about it.
You're right, I forgot to change the percentage.

The graphic doesn't even have a category for being directed to halt spend and less than half are being directed to reduce it in any way so I'm gonna say I still improved it ;)
That's fine where the benefits of code compliance outweigh the costs of compliance.

But old homes are expensive to rewire. And often, the safety benefits are very small. Current code requires a lot more outlets than older code, in part because many people overuse extension cords and tiny/cheap power taps when there aren't sufficient outlets, which is a safety issue, but is it worth spending thousands of dollars to pull new wire through existing walls, and then repairing the walls afterwards?

Some issues, are worth retrofitting for, and hopefully a pre-sales inspection by the buyer or insurance inspection will catch those. It would be reasonable to have a transfer inspection for those too.
This is also what CloudFlare is doing, is it not?
I got a notice about it when the feature was released, but I seem to recall it was a notice rather than a prompt. I immediately noticed a decrease in accuracy and disabled it. This thread is the first time I thought about that decision in years.
Android too. It was about 8-9 years ago that typing started to feel worse.
>Slack and Discord are closed apps that are not indexable by the internet

This is a incorrect. It's not hard to make crawler that can crawl and index discord and slack communities. Just because Google doesn't do it, that doesn't mean it's not possible. If it were true slack and discord wouldn't be able to let you search messages. Both of them include a search feature so clearly they are able to be indexed.
Slightly related to this, this article made me check Simon Peyton Jones's wiki page [1], where I saw this:

> Jones has played a vital role in the development of new Microsoft Excel features since 2003, when he published a paper on user-defined functions.[19] In 2021, anonymous functions and let expressions were made available in the Office 365 version of Excel as a beta feature.[20]

Truly, there were (possibly still are) a lot of smart people working on Excel, as the years go by I'm starting to think of it as one of the most interesting pieces of software ever written.

Now I understand what you mean, still pretty crappy because those minor auto complete strings only exist because Microsoft used code without permission and/or without crediting the original owners and/or breaking licenses from the original corpus.

I use copilot everyday, I love it, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing that people out there worked really hard on their code and harder on building OSS licences just for Microsoft to throw all that out of the window.

Feels like licenses don't matter anymore. My own code doesn't matter much, but it's about principals dude, licenses are there and they should be respected, if not, then it's just anarchy, and we all know anarchy only works in very specific scenarios, Microsoft is not apart of any of those scenarios.
The text selection on iPhone is very bad indeed.
I have an iPhone only so I can relate to the users, but I use my android most as a main phone because the UX of the iPhone is so bad.
Building a SaaS in 2022
I work at a Big Tech company (not necessarily a FANG though) and there's a weekly Rosary zoom session that the local Catholic group runs. It's really wholesome and fun! You just have to sort of keep your head down long enough, and then you'll realize there's actually a lot of us out there. The death of Religion for millennials has been greatly exaggerated.
I'm not an iPhone user myself, but recently run into the fact that SwiftKey has been deprecated on iPhone when helping a friend.

Does anyone here know the details of why SwiftKey was depreciated? Did iOS change their APIs or permissions somehow or what was the reason?
In my experience suggestions also depend on the selected keyboard. When I type German on the English keyboad, autocorrect is terrible. I tried switching keyboards for a while but that did not work for me. The reason is that the placement of common letters (a to z) is subtly different between layouts and that skyrockets the error rate of my typing.
"Fuzzy blinky UI features" is what people actually care about though. You can have all the theoretical bells and whistles in the protocol but if you don't have a flagship application that people can use for their everyday needs, nobody is going to care. The fact of the matter is that "porting your account" is just a much less frequent need than literally anything else that people will come across in their day to day use, and the fact that you can move to another account in the fediverse without losing your followers is good enough for most. Of course it would be nice if the old and new accounts were verbatim, not even identifiably different copies, but we're talking about synchronizing (potentially, and likely on average) multiple gigabytes of data across small hobbyist servers that also still have to serve requests from other users. Not to mention the abuseability of being able to import gigabytes of pre-recorded content like that, a spammer's boon. Worth mentioning that the account portability approach described in ATP is just "upload your backup to the other server" which in practice is going to suffer from the exact problems I am describing.
Yep know it's much more clear, thanks for clarifying.

See your sister comment's child for my reply.
Optimal for reading prose texts. I believe experiments have shown the optimal line width for reading speed and comprehension to be about 50-60 characters.

But as far as I known this have only been researched for reading prose. I doubt the result will translate directly to reading source code, which is read in a completely different way.
nice information i was completely unaware of this development
Maybe we can develop number of text classifiers that would give you hints on the effect of the changes without you having to read it. Or maybe even use AI proof readers that would give you an opinion about the new text. It is an interesting field for sure.
Could you elaborate? In what way?
Very true. That’s why I’ve got endnote as my digital card catalog for papers. (Yes, there may be better reference tools but I’m too invested at this point…)

So Oreo partnered up with Microsoft to inject advert meetings into office calendars that remind people to take a break and watch a video of some dogs playing, and also to get two Oreo related emoji in Microsoft teams.

I feel markedly worse with anything much less than eight hours' sleep. I find my natural circadian cycle suits waking up very early (04:30) and going to bed very early (20:00). I'm not a productivity bro or anything, I just feel much more rested on these hours.
It depends on the algorithm, but many models can be re-generated if you start with the same seed.
The thing I can never figure out how to do is move the cursor very far, eg to the other end of a url in the address bar. Spacebar trick only moves the cursor so far. That’s mostly only useful if the text field has word wrap because you can move it up and down.
The chance of healthy young males dying from Covid is close to zero and not 0.3%. I recently had Covid, less than 6 months after the booster and I don’t think it could have been worse than it was. The third shot measurably impacted my fitness metrics, according do my Apple Watch (sharp decline in VO2max, which took months to recover and even pre Covid it was 3 points off)
Try thinking outside your specific needs. The raw filesystem is an antiquated interface that, honestly, a vast majority of people do not need. In fact, if you observe average computer users, the filesystem is what really impedes their ability to get things done. In fact, the filesystem introduces a huge complexity when the application does not know where its files exist. Did the document you downloaded in the Downloads folder? The Desktop? Documents? Or is it in the last folder you downloaded? Users want to get things done, not hunt for files. The iPad paradigm solves a lot of regular user issues. It was never meant for "power programming users". The car vs. truck analogy.
I noticed a starlink terminal on the side of a building in SF yesterday near the bay bridge. I really wonder why they are using it. I work at a rural farm with no good internet options and we love our starlink, but I’d really have thought there’d be better options in SF.
Blink is similar to WebKit like WebKit is similar to KHTML. In other words, the relation is only relevant for the purposes of historical curiosity.

Rewriting the user's entire database on each delete sounds like it might become a problem. Especially as some users like to automatically delete old posts on a regular basis.

Apple Pages, Notes and Keynote on iPhone could do with more user-ability testing at the back of an Uber, Didi, train, taxi or bus. Make it easy to bullet point and page separate. Sometimes you feel the iPhone apps don't get dogfooded by the Apple developers and those apps are only there to fill in a tickbox for someone souless.
But will their remarkable performance in the lab ever translate into real market momentum? Caelux and other tandem-solar startups are betting the answer is yes.
I grew up on Tristan. Astonishingly they ported to iOS at some point... and I have no recollection of it looking this janky! To me it was the coolest thing ever on a Mac IIsi.

But this isn’t how GoF works, it’s not like you can just turn a dial up to 11. GoF almost always works by acquiring some new function which in combination with other functions results in drastically increased aggregate function (ie infection).

So I’m not really sure how that excludes this research. The Ba1 spike is new function.
Man, working with you for just even one year would be extremely cathartic. Keep on keeping on...
The SE was the best phone I ever had, and even though the screen was smaller, I rarely made typos. Copying and pasting text was a breeze.

How creative of them, is that something new at Amazon? Industry by now has fully succeeded in making inclusion® a dirty word.

> To reduce invisibility in entertainment, and where the story allows, we aim to include one character from [...] women, [...], lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or gender non-conforming / non-binary; (2) person with a disability; and (3) three regionally underrepresented racial/ethnic/cultural groups (e.g. in the US, three of the following: Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Middle Eastern/North African, or Asian / Pacific Islander or Multi-Racial). A single character can fulfill one or more of these identities.

Jack drove by an indigenous, black lesbian that emigrated from Mexico to a tree of the United States of America as he drove to the murder scene at the Amazon studios. He had been called because someone allegedly murdered sanity.

Well, perhaps not too funny. I don't believe anything could beat this anyway:

It's related to how reading and the human eye work. For each eye fixation, you take in about 5-10 characters. The optimal line length for books is about 60-75 characters, which takes somewhere between 6-15 fixation to scan.

Code is not like books: most lines will be shorter than the "limit", there's indentation, you're typically reading monospaced characters on a screen, and you have syntax highlighting, etc. So, bumping the length up to 80 characters is still okay, as is the occasional outlier. But regularly writing 100-120 characters-long LoCs will definitely impact readability.
