The internet pre 2010 was pretty great. Facebook showed who got married, no body was political yet. I did well connecting with friends of friends and went out with a few folks.

While I hate online dating now, I respect it worked for tons of couples when it first started.

Something about having to head home to do your online stuff slowed it down. Now, it's constantly in your face.
My family loves and accepts me and my sons. They still push the same bullshit here. You can't jog your way out of adhd and "you just lack discipline" is literally "telling a woman they deserve it for looking like a slut" level of being totally off the mark and clueless. I even have a significant amount of multi-discipline training and actual professional research under my belt and they ignore me and the experts I seek for help.

Good. If you're attempting to build a slightly counter-cultural, offline tightly knit social group, adding a cigar seems reasonable enough to me. And around an active firepit, the additional smoke isn't a big thing.

Practically, the reason I suggest a bit of alcohol and some cigars/pipes is to have "something to do with your hands," and something to do if you don't want to be part of the conversation at the moment. Since these events are ideally cell phone free, if a chunk of the conversation isn't interesting, or isn't something you care to participate in at the time for whatever reason, being able to sit back and focus on the pipe or cigar for a bit is a nice option. I've certainly had moments when someone is expressing a point I disagree with, where the best option is to simply let them talk and occasionally ask clarifying questions - sitting back, sipping on some whiskey, and working on a cigar makes it far easier to let them continue without feeling the need to dive into why I think they're somewhat insane, and that's half the point here - I may not agree with them, but I would like to understand where they're coming from.

At this point, though, I'd view the actively countercultural aspects of a pipe/cigar as a benefit to them in your situation. But, also, seeing the UK-centric parts of the discussion here, I'm so glad I don't live over there. It sounds worse than I'd expected - 1984 was not intended to be a government handbook.

Literally none of these are "actual 3D maps," they are topo maps. The only additional information they provide is the 3D extension of objects that were already discoverable in 2D.

"Can this map help me find the town hall of Whittier, Alaska?" If not, it isn't a 3D map.
Interesting. Another example is datetimes. You can't add datetimes. You can add a datetime and a time delta, and the difference of two datetimes is a timedelta.

I guess in maths this is called a generating Lie algebra (maybe someone can comment on this?)
I open-source a lightweight TypeScript event manager which called `apphook`. Which inspired by Wordpress Hooks

Our team has used it for 3 years in production.

Well there's an irony to your statement. Those programmers who write embedded systems (I'm one of them) tend to use C++. C++ lacks memory safety and has segfaults, python doesn't. They literally used the most unsafe programming language ever that literally doesn't even alert you to errors either at compile time or runtime.

C++ is chosen for speed. Not for safety. The amount of run-time and compile time checks C++ skips is astronomical. The passengers may think it matters, but the programmers of those systems by NOT using a program that does compile time or run time checks are saying it doesn't matter.
r/iamverysmart was created in response to a particular human behavior, not the other way around.

Ask HN: While parenting do you feel soft to your own child but harsh to others’?
In case you’re being serious, Douglas Adams was an author of comedic fiction and the babel fish is from his Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book and allowed different races from different planets to communicate with each other.

Trying to compare real world history with fictional possibilities is non-sensical.

Isn't this article a counterexample to that? Where using signed instead of unsigned actually does result in a loss of functionality?
I recently had a CoeLux artificial skylight installed, it’s awesome. No matter how ugly the weather feels outside, it’s always a bright beautiful day inside.

Definitely worth considering if you have high enough ceilings to accommodate it.

How copyright law hides work like Zora Neale Hurston’s from the public (2018)
In the US, Republicans are punished by their voters for cooperating with Democrats. They literally campaign on how they voted no to everything the Democratic leader wanted.
About this:

"Studies of these bones’ isotopes have shown Neanderthals in northern Europe got 80-90% of their protein from animals. That’s up there with the wolves and hyenas. In the arid southern parts of Europe we’re not so lucky. Collagen in fossil bone easily disintegrates in warmer climates, taking with it the clues to southern Neanderthals’ diets."

So did wolves also go extinct in Europe at this time? If not, this theory is incomplete at best.

Also, it is worth noting, many DNA studies have been done, trying to find some trace of Sapien DNA in modern populations, left over from the Homo Sapiens who arrived in Europe 40,000 years ago. No trace has been found. So the question isn't "Why did Homo Neanderthals go extinct at the end of the Ice Age" but rather, the correct question is "Why did all forms of human go extinct in northern Eurasia at the end of the Ice Age?"

Because both Neanderthals and Sapiens both went extinct in northern Eurasia. Also Denisovan and also any remaining Homo Heidelbergensis.

About 15,000 years ago, Europe was then repopulated by Homo Sapiens who lived further south. While it is easy to find DNA signals from the population 15,000 years ago, surviving in the modern population, it has been impossible to find widespread traces of older Sapien DNA surviving in the modern population.

(The implication is that even Neanderthal DNA that survives in Sapiens does so because of matings that happened further south, perhaps in the MidEast.)
Well, there was the time that the Krikkit decided to wage war on the entire universe for 2000 years - I believe the estimate was about two grillion casualties.

Alright, I'll be the one to ask the "what's next" question.

What's next? A revival of Gopher?
Wow, that sounds a lot like my job... small business, solo IT, heavy emphasis on "other tasks as needed." Some weeks it's felt like I slacked off most of the week waiting for calls to come in (though I've been keeping busy learning, documenting, and updating) while other weeks I'm so busy I barely sit down.

Over time it's been teaching me to say no to projects when they're out of scope or beyond my ability. I used to say "I'll try" to everything which led to some great learning experiences but also a lot of stress and disappointment. Still trying to find some kind of balance there.
The majority of people and critics reviewing it disagree with you as do I :). Personal preferences aside, the recreated Nixon footage and conversations are well done and quite convincing, which was the point of watching it I believe.
Sorry about your mother in law, that sucks. During lockdown I went sober for a year and a few months. I don't have a problem with alcohol but there was no reason to drink so why not.
What are some ways to verify video integrity?

1) Multiple camera angles. A simultaneous left / front / right view of a person speaking would be much harder to fake.

2) Higher-resolution video and high-quality audio are harder to fake, although this might not be a problem for entities with sufficient resources and motivation.

3) Attribution to a real person. While this raises problems for people who want to remain anonymous due to very reasonable fears of retaliation, it also makes it harder to push fakes out to social media.

Note many fake 'breaking news' videos are just stiched together old footage, no AI deepfake required. This has been noticeable across multiple platforms wrt Ukraine, for example:

We have high crime and violence, and we try to insulate our families from that, as well as from druggies shitting on the sidewalks.
I agree it's not perfect. In particular it's a little weird to highlight the link text blue since it's not what you interact with. Mostly just makes it easy to see and then find the link button, also useful if you are planning to publish a document so that you can see where the links will be in published document.

One feature that I do like about this design is it's pretty generic. For example in the future I could imagine detecting dates and then insert a button after the detected date to interact with calendar. I think the general idea of inserting simple interaction button in text can be quite useful.
There was a good amount of talk about "perfect information economics", which before the internet had only been a crazy idea, but then suddenly seemed like something within grasp.

I'm not sure if there was ever a real belief that the internet was going to cure hunger and bring world peace, but I think most of the opinion in the late 90's internet explosion is that it would make people more informed and understanding overall.
It is really bizarre the way that the aggregate/news/post/tweet + comment section + upvote/downvote format that is pervasive on the current internet creates an incentive for people not to talk to each other, but to just throw their ideas at the wall hoping to get points from people that agree with them or even points from bots.

Forums and chat rooms were nice because the communities were small and directed. People were jerks for sure but they weren’t getting points. Even among the jerks the communities were localized enough that the jerks that cared enough to stick around weren’t mere trolls.
Looking back, I guess the main point of why the early internet was so special wasn‘t because of cool new communications technology, but because of the self selection.
In order to use BBSes or the early Internet, by definition you had to be above average curious, smart, rich, young (late night dialup tarrifs) and/or based in academia, as well as having a volunteering/cooperating mindset.

We just managed to keep the others out for a miraculous decade by keeping entry barriers hard, costly and complex. Is that an ableist viewpoint? No clue, but it was a bliss for sure.
Somewhat same vein I tell my coworkers who are going to be new parents: Time really flies with kids.

One minute you're changing diapers, next thing you know they are walking, then they're in middle/high school and have their friends they'd rather be with. As hard as it was I still tear up a little watching old video clips of ours as a toddler.

Unfortunately, due to government policy during the Franco years, the south of Spain continues to consistently attract the worst kinds of people.

Even if most days are peaceful, you can never know if today is the day some shit kicks off between the drug cartels and the restaurant you’re eating at gets shot up.

And in the areas that don’t entirely depend on the drug trade? There’s nothing at all.
I've really only worked in embedded (aerospace mainly), aside from an internship. While I enjoy working on satellites with all the entailed constraints, the relatively low salaries and slow pace of progress have been getting to me. I'm near completing a master's in CS, which should help a bit in elevating myself as a candidate without real webdev experience.

For those of you who have transitioned from embedded to web or another high-demand area (ML, distributed systems), how did you find that transition? And for those who've stayed in embedded, what is it about the work that keeps you from leaving?

No one uses these platforms.

Why don't they buy a considerable stake in these American social media companies instead of trying to reinvent the wheel that is deflating as soon as it launches.

Well, this is a good reminder that it is time for me to dig out my light-therapy panel that I bathe in over breakfast during the dark months. Also go for walks over lunch break on sunny days. My SAD is mild, you may need more aggressive therapy. BTW - consider having your thyroid function checked. Some family members have that issue, and symptoms can be similar.
There are many open source Rich Text editors.

The most popular is Quill, and then there are block style like EditorJS, and those meant to be very extensible like Lexical.

Pretty sure your confusion and why people are confounded by your comments is because you're calling the layout WBGR but it seems to be RWBG.

There are no only red or green pixels in your image. The red and green sub pixels are just far apart within a pixel. Greens just happen to be close to the reds of the neighboring pixel.

To get kids into science, make the education system better. Less memorisation, more practical work. Accelerate things for those interested and remove those that aren't. I wanted to be a chemical engineer or pharmacologist but got so bored that I moved on to something else. Now I fiddle with code and do nothing of real value to society. At least I get paid well I supppose.
Yah I don't understand how all the factors come together and my hindsight is probably even wrong as I met new people and worked out more and a lot of good things happened and opportunities etc. But I do know that getting some sun for sure helps me feel better, not being broke, having a good social life and getting some good exercise in is all positive on the mood.
I think Reed-solomon should be considered in future network protocols designs to combat censorship. Every byte should be demuxed into bits and transferred in independent data streams, so MITM boxes can only intercept incomplete streams, and aggregate streams back to original would be insanely difficult. Let transport layers do only one job and no distinguish whatever the content might be inside.

Currently H2 does support M:N stream muxing but popular browsers only support N:1 mode.
I read about influencers who basically stream themselves while studying, seems to be a similar idea with more even participation (and less likelihood of becoming internet-rich).
charitable interpretation: “china” = “chinese government“ in the statement you are responding to.

I try to use the latter form myself when talking about nation state actions to aid people who have trouble translating from one to the other, but it doesn’t seem that hard to figure out in this case. otoh e.g. “the chinese value education highly” is a bit more ambiguous since the statement is true for both the chinese people and the chinese goverment
my only gripe with mapy.cz is that it's difficult to figure out the altitude of a place. You have to count the contour lines which can get tricky. Id love m seeing it (next to wgs84) when i long tap a location on a map
The by-a-constant trick using smaller lookup tables at the end can be done with pretty much arbitrary table sizes-- it's particularly helpful to fine tune the table size if you're building the table on the fly (e.g. because you perform many multiplications each with a dynamic value).
One of the most important changes that I've noticed in autocomplete on iOS (I have it disabled on MacOS, so no idea how it works there), is this:

Old behavior: Autocomplete suggests the word I want partway, but by the time I tap it, I've typed additional keys and the suggestion changed. Deleting and trying again would enter the same mistake.

Current behavior: Autocomplete suggests the word I want partway, but by the time I tap it, I've typed additional keys and the suggestion changed. Deleting a few characters causes it to suggest (again) the word I actually wanted. It remembers the next most likely suggestion and I can quickly select it.

This change in behavior was the most significant improvement that I can recall. It went from maddening to somewhat annoying but useful.

Please keep up the good work. Mac nerds who care about high-quality native apps appreciate what you're doing.
I've lived all over the UK and concluded that while the exact conditions vary a bit, it is just background noise against the generally foul climate.

Malta is about the best option I've been able to come up with - no language issues and still in the EMEA region for work purposes. Switzerland would probably be a better fit for me in terms of both climate and society, but they like foreigners even less than we do and the language situation is intimidating.
The real things. The analogue, making live music with humans, experiencing all the things that are here.

Productivity is low compared to the same quarter in 2021. Productivity was higher before the end of enhanced UI benefits because hours worked is the denominator. Just sayin’
> My advice is, find balance. Find time for yourself, make time for your partner.

Unhappy stressed out parents create unhappy stressed out kids.

Sometimes you have to be selfish in the short term so you can be a better parent in the long term. Its a balance but you shouldn't feel guilty about it.
Ask HN: Unsigned Software Downloads
Why do some large, reputable open source projects not provide digital signatures for software downloads? I thought everyone did this now, but neither Golang or Postgres sign downloads they publish. Why not?

https://go.dev/dl/

https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v15.0/

As counter examples, both the Linux kernel and rust sign downloads they publish:

https://kernel.org/

https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#source-code

What is the reason that Google and Postgres have for not signing software downloads? MD5 and SHA256 checksums do not verify the authenticity of the downloaded software.
I'm sure the mantle lanterns are far brighter, especially the pressurized kerosene types. I don't have one to compare either (yet). But it's something I've considered.

I'm more likely to pick up one of the Aladdin type table lamps, though. They're a wicked kerosene lantern with a mantle - so far brighter light, but also the silence and lack of pressurized fuel of the wicked lanterns. They're not cheap, but they seem to be the peak of "silent kerosene lantern technology."

The reality, though, is that with how I use lanterns in the evening, I'm not sure "more light," especially light of a high color temperature, really gains me much. But there's a good chance I'll pick one up at some point and do some comparisons there too.

In that case the "if its a boy" clause was unnecessary. Consider the following sentence:

What makes you feel "unwelcome" and what do you mean with "direct harm"? As far as I'm concerned this place is where anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity can be discussed. While there are plenty of occasions where I come across opinions which I do not agree with this does not "harm" me nor does it make me feel "unwelcome". Not even the direct calls you just made to make me uncomfortable enough to move to truth social or mastodon or something - a direct call to make me unwelcome in other words - makes me feel unwelcome since I know this is only the opinion of one person. Others may agree with you, others will not. As far as I'm concerned we are both welcome here as long as we keep within the rules of this site [1]. Agree to disagree and we'll hopefully live long and prosper?

What on Earth are you talking about? There's nothing "iamverysmart" about the blogpost at all. The guy literally cites an example where the code broke in production, it isn't an esoteric hairsplitting point at all.
Before China soundly disproved it with their great firewall, one of the early assumptions about the internet was that it would naturally route around censorship.

This would allow for people in less free societies to read about and interact with people in more democratic societies, eventually causing them to demand their own countries become more democratic. This was also supposed to end war, since democratic countries don't generally war with one another.

It was a blissful naiveté.
Have you gotten it cleaned out and lit up? The gas mantle lanterns are just so harsh compared to the silent, warm light off the cold blast sort.
it literally threw an exception in production on a valid input so yes it is fair to say it was broken
