I'm currently battling through the CSS Color Module spec[1] so I can add oklab() and oklch() defined colors to my 2d canvas library. My hope is that it will give me (and anyone else brave enough to use my library) better color ranges, gradients and (fingers crossed) filters - such as more accurate color reduction.

The question in my mind is: now we have oklab/oklch, do I still need to care about CSS hsl/hsla/hwb/lab/lch colors? I'm tempted to dump them (except their convert to rgb code) to knock a few bytes from the library's size...

It's both and it has been that way since roughly the era of mass production of consumer goods and certainly after WWII, not just in Australia but pretty much worldwide.

Many countries try to export their culture as a means of projecting soft power, some more successfully (or perhaps: aggressively even in some case) than others.

The US simply have been the by far most dominant power in the last hundred years, politically as well as culturally.

As for more recent developments, I'm not so sure about that. If anything, from my perspective due the influence of Spotify and Netflix and the wide range of these services provide, popular culture has become more diverse and less US-centric than it used to be.

That said, in the Anglosphere, American influence is more pronounced than elsewhere because of the same linguistic and cultural roots.

It is funny that this article about abolishing elections shows up on the front page the morning after the US Senate is called for one party.
Unfortunately most cameras do not provide "clean" HDMI output. That is, the HDMI output contains camera UI symbols like focus points, battery state, lighting, etc. Configuration options to disable those UI symbols are generally not available, at best one can disable some of them. A model with "clean" HDMI is usually more expensive and you have to explicitly look for it as a feature.

Live view readout via USB is something that works far more often than HDMI.
>I don't think there's an innate difference between an "average citizen" and an "average modern politician"

That's silly. The politician is completing in a race that they are trying to win. The citizen is just trying to live, and takes time out of their life to vote and pick someone who might (might!) have a shot at fixing some of the things that annoy them without breaking some of the things that actually work. The politician is goal-oriented, the citizen is existence-oriented.
I moved from Plex to Jellyfin

>Some of the things I appreciate about Plex:

- It does a very good job at matching media - It's very easy to share access with others - It supports many types of media -- TV, movies, music, live TV, and just plain ol' video. I store class lectures on Plex! - I'm able to stream very high bitrate movies (upwards 40mbps) without issue

Jellyfin does this for free. I wanted to be able to create multiple accounts in Plex - but this needs a subscription or lifetime pass.

Jellyfin also does Movies, Music, and i have loaded a few training video's on it as well.

At the end of the day you can see where Plex is heading - Sell lifetime subs and then try to further monetize the customers to pay for monthly expenses Plex faces running the service... So i went to Jellyfin.
> Also, many C programmers (in my experience) don't use calloc -- they just use malloc, and then they initialize the memory. The basic danger is that you forget to initialize part of it,

I don't know about the latter part of your statement being true or not. The former is due to looping usage so it's better to do bzero as the first operation for use instead of the last for reuse. In other words, don't do the same functionality in two separate areas.

> For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...

1 Timothy 6:10 NRSV

So, just for random theological context, money itself isn't good or bad - it's just a convenient token of value... But it's the love of money, ie, the desire to possess and control value that you can use to get things from others, and somehow find security and worth in your possessions that is the big problem. And not "the" root of "all" evil, but "a" root of "all kinds" of evil...
It’s probably not deism, since it doesn’t require a non-involved agent, and deism does: you can posit both the simulation hypothesis and also that the universe is a game being played by some alien teenager with a sick sense of humor, or used as a car battery for an alcoholic mad scientist. This is then roughly Gnosticism and Manichean thought in a blender. (Instead of a blind watchmaker, nothing about being in a simulation prohibits a demiurge instead)

You’re right that the simulation hypothesis is equivalent to any number of previous ontological arguments, though, and you’re also right to notice how rarely that’s stated in public. I think, ironically, this is primarily because the people who are really into the simulation hypothesis are unaware of ontological arguments because they all seem to deride religion as superstition and foolishness that doesn’t need to be studied and can just be discarded.

i don’t think the simulation hypothesis is necessarily bad (i do think it’s false), except to the extent that esoteric and gnostic traditions all tend towards quietism, which i disagree with strongly. Y’all can believe whatever you want about the universe but if your beliefs lead you to ignore the troubles and joys of your neighbors, I suggest you update your priors.

> I don't think there's an innate difference between an "average citizen" and an "average modern politician".

There is a difference: politicians actively seek power. This already raises suspicions about a person, in my opinion.

Also, running for office takes money, so the average modern politician needs to raise a lot of money. How do you raise a lot of money? Make friends with rich people and do favors for them, obviously.
If Apple allowed it, Spotify (or any other app) could easily send more metadata about whatever media is playing on the lockscreen.

Show HN: Binary Search Visualisation
Hey folks! Buddy of mine recently asked me how do I write binary search, so I spent my Saturday (not like I was going somewhere, got flu anyway) on trying to visualise different variants of the algorithm.
Please let me know if you have other variants in mind, or if I missed smth here. Cheers!

Well, can't that be made a build parameter, that can be determined during build configuration? CMake'ifying the project might help you get there perhaps?

Wihtout seeing the assembly it is difficult to say but for such a large difference, the culprit often seems to the loop iop cache. If you check the alignment of the top of the loop instructions (and it inlined away the calls) sometimes you can see an alignment change for some trivial bullshit that has vasat performance impacts because it causes a series of other missed optmizations.

That damn loop cache is great for performance when you hit it,but sucks horrible when you don't even think out it and spend days trying to figure out some performance quandry.

I don't think that. The housing prices are so high due "network effects". The land costs more than the house and everyone wants the same land parcel. I would definitely buy a land parcel and build a nice house but that parcel's almost 4 times more expensive than 2 bedroom flat so I stick to the overpriced 2 bedroom for now.

Checklists are great for surgery or routine care because the goal is well understood. Diagnosis is more complicated though I agree a deterministic rule-based system can be useful for first responders and emergency rooms. Prescreening questions asked by a nurse and fed into a rule based system might be helpful in general medicine.

The issue is when you have access to someone’s medical history that extremely useful information doesn’t fit well with rule based diagnosis. Similarly a comprehensive and deterministic system would need to include questions for an insane number of edge cases making it difficult to use. Do you really add an option for actually blue skin because of these people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Fugates

I could see an AI that that recommends medical tests or diagnosis could be useful, rule based systems just seem overly limited.
Immediately turned off by the AppSumo lifetime deal. Seems to be where projects go to draw in a bit of cash before they fail or get sold off.

Lifetime deals on products that have a real recurring lifetime cost rarely work out, and are an immediate red flag, especially for a new project.

> I don’t want to touch anything a serious Linux distribution won’t support and I don’t consider Ubuntu - a derivative of the over-patched mess that is Debian - a serious distribution.

What defines a "serious distribution"?
Not at all. There is a samba server and there is a media player in each device. I don't need to run .net or whatever code with a web server and a wrapper around ffmpeg. So it's totally the opposite of what you said.

I think the way I described how those devices get in sync gave you that opinion but to me as an user is basically just 2 things.

> I mean, who removes history entries by selecting thousands of them manually? Okay, this guy, but who else?

I’ve often done it to clear out useless repetitive history entries that are just clogging up results when typing in the address/search bar. Ideally it would simply not make entries for some kinds of redirects and I could define rules of URLs to exclude, but in the absence of that I might just go through once or twice a year and delete a few of the biggest repetitive patterns. And how slow it’s been for the last decade has been rather frustrating at times. I just tried deleting a couple of thousand (I use Nightly, where a fix apparently landed last week) and it took half a second, which is much more relaxing than the ten or twenty seconds of full-blocking CPU thrashing that it used to be.
The vouch button exists on this site because of Terry, and I think it's a pragmatic solution to the problem
One of the biggest issues with Bitcoin as others have pointed out is the catch-22 of self custody. Another huge issue is offshore unregulated exchanges like FTX. The resolution is actually regulation that allows financial institutions like Banks to hold Bitcoin. Services like this already exist with companies such as Casa (keys[dot]casa) where you have a multi-signature wallet where one of the keys is held by them. The problem with Casa is that they cannot be FDIC insured. A 3 of 5 signature wallet can create a sliding scale of security vs ownership with the most security and most insurance being offered by the Bank where they hold 3 of the 5 keys. This may be attractive for people who want to own a little bit but not take on the risk. Banks may even do the purchase for you as well (for a fee of course). For those who say this is just the current system with different steps, the difference is the possibility of taking on 100% of the risk/ownership yourself. Just the possibility of that shifts the power dynamic in the clients favor. Additionally, once institutions get legal clarity, they can also start running their own lightning nodes which generate revenue in the form of fees. Since they will hold large amount of BTC reserves, they can compete for more traffic. More traffic equals more fees. And no, I am not saying lightning is in a place right now where this would happen; but what is today isn't what will be tomorrow. This is just conjecture obviously. Once such things are in the hands of such institutions (as well as an approved spot ETF in the US) then the narrative on MSM will shift (dear public, it is safe to play in this space now). IMO I believe that is is the actual reason as to why there has not been any regulatory clarity on BTC.
It seemed dispassionate, reasoned and positive to me, but then again HN has never been a good place for discussions of ethics

The truth is that some people can’t be trusted and aren’t that competent. These people may be cheap to hire though. Pair programming and/or monitoring of them is a way to get a predictable baseline out of them - even if that baseline is very low. You can say it’s a bad decision by the business, but it’s their bad decision to make.

I've used Linux for decades but never saw a single ad yet this is "free"?

I also use a lot of opensource software (Libreoffice, Opera, you get the idea) none of these have ads.

As you said the code is written by people in their free time, if they want to support it via ads they are free to do so, but very few do.

If I pay for something I'd rather not have ads on top of this. They should have charged more instead of getting me as a customer and then putting ads into things.

Jellyfin is free and lacks ads. Plex charges a fee and has ads?
