It's clear Microsoft aims to "win" the console battle.

That would be a disaster.

When Microsoft "wins", it completely gives up competing and development and rests on it's "top of the market" position - best example of the is Internet Explorer. Once it had wiped out Mozilla, Microsoft stopped development of Internet Explorer entirely.

I don't see why Microsoft has to destroy Playstation.

If anything, the corporate part of Microsoft seems to be going for a strategy of going cross platform everywhere and winning hearts and minds and going where the developers are, opening up, embracing open source.

At the same time, Xbox seems to be veering back into the Microsoft of the 1990's, who's goal was purely to destroy everything that competes with Microsoft.

I hope Xbox fail in their acquisition and they have lost substantial goodwill with me - I'm sure that matters to them.

And I hope Xbox lose in their battle to destroy Playstation.
That’s a cute reduction, but the case being made doesn’t account for workers being humans in an ever evolving society. A job is, in fact, an alien concept to someone who has never had one before. And even people who have had jobs may have never been trained in a way that works for all employers. You’re making a moral judgment against the people with the least power in the employer-employee relationship. If a business owner wants the big bucks then their work ethic should be reflected in the training and care they take when bringing in new employees. What you’re talking about is closer to slavery than employment.
0 chance this replicates, anything before 2016 I immediately write off. (i.e. clearly pre-replication crisis)

> I'm not being hyperbolic, I'm being quite literal. I tried two or three times to support Safari. I gave up on it and I'm never going back.

There's nothing special that has to be done to "support Safari" other than writing normal CSS, HTML and JavaScript just like for any other browser.

Even if you used something experimental or Chrome-only, there are polyfills for most features. This only makes sense for a public facing website (e-commerce, for example), since Safari is on over a billion devices and some of those potential customers might want to use your site.

> maybe Safari is fine on the desktop because I don't own a Mac so I can't test it

Other than some minor differences, the latest version of WebKit is essentially the same on iOS, macOS and iPadOS.

It's pretty common to use something like CodePen [1] to demonstrate CSS and HTML features publicly.

Hey @adawg4, we built our own tech based on time series analysis to detect anomalies. Our users set metrics they care about most, and we pay attention to spikes and outliers in those metrics.
It's photography: anyone can click a button, but if you have a great understanding of how the machine works, you can click a button and get something amazing. Maybe you get a dozen versions, and you select the best one, and put it out there as your art.

On one hand they're right, it's low effort. On the other, the cat's out of the bag, and nothing will ever be the same. We're in the turmoil phase. In a year, or five, it will be part of the big picture.
He supports LibsofTikTok, which has resulting in whole hospitals being shut down by terrorists.

He unbanned Taleb Kweli, who was banned for using twitter to stalk, harass, and organise mobs against a woman he didn't like.

His campaign against Yoel Roth has resulted in Roth and his family having to flee their house.

He's very, very happy with threats, including death threats if they are people that he doesn't like.
Well maybe this is just to reach out to the target audience that reads the FT instead of Mumsnet (which was mentioned in the article as one of the places they advertised on).
First of all, there is something called freedom of thought. In countries that respect human rights, you generally can't convict let alone kill people for ideas, including harmful ones.

What Nazis were tried for are the actual crimes they committed, the people they killed or ordered to be killed. And what justice needs to do, in addition to the punishment aspect is no make sure they don't kill any more people, and this can be achieved by surveillance in or out of prison. Nazis don't have wololo powers, they can't instantly turn people into Nazis like a psychopath can stab you.

And ex-Nazis are burnt anyways people will not follow them like they did when they were in power. We all have seen what they done. In fact, extremists who want to push genocidal idea will do everything they can to avoid ex-Nazis if they expect any kind of influence.

I still don't see why we should execute ex-Nazis if the only reason is a last resort to protect society from danger.
> why does javascript have like 6 different ways to select an element?

Because all but one of them existed already when settled on the one that everyone almost universally prefers, but the others can’t be removed. You can just use the one you like and totally ignore the others.

> Why does everything have to start with verbose "document."?

Because it has to be namespaced to something, and the global document object is by far the best namespace available. You can destructure it once and even assign it to a global if you don’t like that reasoning.

> Why are the new functions so long in name and cumbersome to use?

Partly because people don’t like how things are so they do the global assignment thing and make sure no one can have nice things; partly because long names are self documenting which is often the best documentation they can guarantee at design time; partly because they expect people will never call these APIs directly.

> In jQuery, you can select almost anything with just the constructor. It's simple... and clearly better.

Clearly to you? I can think of a bunch of ways I’d rather access the current state of a document, and they can vary a lot depending on my task.

> Libraries shouldn't be necessary to write basic DOM manipulation code.

That’s a really odd position to take given you’re advocating the choices made by one!

> Modern ECMAScript has been promised to do away with all the "hack" libraries like jQuery... and articles like "You might not need jQuery" sprang up in popularity based on new ECMAScript features.

Modern ECMAScript didn’t make any of these claims, and didn’t set out to do any of the things jQuery does. ECMAScript has added some language features like let/const, modules, Symbol, classes, async/await. HTML added querySelector and a bunch of other DOM conveniences, as well as fetch. Browser vendors and other organizations have added other APIs for things people want to build applications on.

> The problem with the javascript community is nobody actually knows javascript. No, people know whatever framework/lib they work with, which is not the same thing. It's that way because javascript... sucks to use.

No, it’s that way because everyone wants JavaScript to be the thing they already shimmed it to be. You might be surprised by what it actually is. There are many problems with it of course, but it’s incredibly capable of being nicer to use than you seem to think.

As far as knowing JS, I’d highly recommend just spending some casual time reading MDN. Almost every time I do (which is fairly often) I discover something elegant that I either need immediately or could imagine being helpful soon.

If nothing else, it’s always a good insight into how the tools that do 95% of what I want get their job done.
It would have way more than 4 people in the search results though. GP said there's at least 4 because there's him, his wife and his kids.

Why is this topic dominating HN?? It's just a private website enforcing its own made up rules. They can do whatever they like, ban whoever they don't like. If you have a problem with it make your own Twitter.
Mine was pretty non-trivial to install (some weird heat pump system). The standard installation instructions didn’t apply and told me to get on the chat with google.

The chat experience was really shockingly good, and I expected it to be pretty bad. There was no wait, the person was knowledgeable, and at the end they emailed me a picture of how to do the wiring.
Don't give them ideas, harnessing people power would solve all the major problems. Overpopulation, global warming, energy crisis,... Reminds me of that 'Mitchell and Webb - Kill all the poor' sketch.
I’d recommend just using Xcode, if you really want you can use any editor and the command line tools to build. That said despite being a bloated behemoth Xcode has a lot of very helpful tools built in and it being the default for all iOS devs means a lot of tutorials and docs are going to assume usage.
For local WiFi, anything that's HomeKit compatible should work, but you'll likely lose out on something by restricting its access to the internet. For example, my Ecobee can be controlled locally via Home Assistant (using Home Assistant's HomeKit Controller), but it gets outside weather (used to figure out how early to turn the heat up to meet the schedule requirements) via some cloud service. Plus the HomeKit interface, at least when used in Home Assistant, is not as full-featured as the native (cloud-based) one.

If you desire 100% local control, it's worth looking at Zigbee and Z-Wave thermostats. Using Home Assistant can give you full local control without requiring a vendor's hub and app.
Between this and him using Tesla engineers as free Twitter labor, I'm very glad not to be a shareholder right now.
Well, with the crime exploding, what would they expect? The homeowners associations are jumping on the Flock offering. Also, I thought ACLA was no longer in the “freedom” business and moved on to other causes? I can’t imagine ACLU caring about individual freedom of the drivers. There is got to be some other angle they are quietly pursuing.
perhaps if melony didn't know that, it is evidence that the required credit is, in effect, not being given; that the authors of this software are, in effect, passing off the work of the ngspice contributors as their own

I honestly don't know. I always assumed racism was a significant factor at some point (let's make rules that seem innocent but target a particular demographic).

From what I can find on the Internet, while they existed for over 100 years, they were rare. The main growth of HOAs has been since the 60's, as people moved to the suburbs.
Nice this is cool!
And then proceeded to shamelessly ripoff Dorico, which is the actual state of the art.
One of the stated goals is to make html a true hypermedia language right? That's really pretty much it.

A lot of these objections sound like "why bring these functions into JavaScript if JQuery already exists? Why do we need CSS Grid if bootstrap already exists?" Because those are arguably add-ons meant to deal with the deficiencies of the original technology. Fixing that technology is a better place to be.
No. It was elon's idea and when grimes announced it, he corrected her on the details.
One thing not mentioned is that even if Microsoft releases games for Playstation as required by some sort of Justice Department agreement, they don't have to release at the same time, nor with the same features or quality.

Call of Duty 2025 for Xbox available NOW! Coming to Playstation 4 in 2027.

Microsoft in the past was shown to be a cunning and underhanded competitor and that's who Xbox is today - a nasty little backstreet knife fighter willing to hide its sharpest blades until it sticks them in. I am a real believer in the "newer, nicer Microsoft", but I don't think that includes Xbox and I would not trust their words to the Justice Department as being worth a dime.

> How can you tell me I'm the problem with my single truck and couple of commercial flights each year when you've got multiple Teslas and hundreds of private flights each year?

Because there are hundreds of thousands (millions?) of other truck owners also using the same justification to keep their truck?

This isn't sticking up for hypocritical wasteful billionaires, just pointing there are not very many of them in the grand scheme of things. Truck owners reducing emissions by a few percent (let alone dropping to what a car would do) would have a much bigger effect than billionaires or celebs reducing by 100%.
Fragile X is extremely comorbid with autism (IIRC 50%) but rarely the other way around. I wouldn’t at all think a treatment for FXS means a treatment for autism (outside of cases directly related to FXS) if anybody was wondering. One is caused by a specific mutation of a gene, the other one is a dogs breakfast of causes that present similarly.

I was screened for FXS and I don’t have it so this won’t do any good for me.
Twitter 2.0 suspended a bunch of my legitimate accounts without any explanation. Also, my personal account, opened in February 2007, is also in some kind of read-only mode - I cannot change my name. Actually, I don't want to change my name, just to remove some emoji suffix. The error I'm getting is "Account update failed: Denied." Twitter 1.0 sucked, but 2.0 sucks even more!
The flight information that twitter account was using is publically available and required by law to BE public.

"Sweeney has been using sites such as ADS-B Exchange to track the movements of private jets blogging to celebrities, tech billionaires, and Russian oligarchs for years now. By law, the movement of these plans is publicly available information. “This account has every right to post jet whereabouts, ADS-B data is public, every aircraft in the world is required to have a transponder, Even AF1 (@AirForceTrack) Twitter policy states data found on other sites is allowed to be shared here as well,” the account’s pinned tweet read before it was banned."

Like he kept Alex Jones banned because Musk cradled his dying child? Except oops, that was a lie.

At this point if you believe anything Musk claims you are the dullest, most gullible shit I can imagine.
I recently came across a reference manual for an SoC that came in at over 24,000 pages - a new personal record. The tools for working with such large PDFs generally suck.
"We unfortunately have too many people willing to take these jobs at the pay and benefits / conditions offered."

Our economic system demands that most people must work some kind of job in order to have shelter and food. Some people are working 2 or 3 terrible jobs because that's what is needed to make rent. They can't hold out for a job that provides a humane level of pay and working conditions.

Furthermore, capitalist economies rely on a certain percentage of workers (roughly 5%) are unemployed at any given time. This creates an environment where workers are generally desperate and bosses have power.

It's barbaric that a certain number of people are guaranteed to be unemployed when employment is required to have shelter, food, and healthcare.

The COVID pandemic did a lot of weird things that moved some power to workers. There were stronger unemployment protections and eviction moratoriums, so more workers could actually afford to hold out for better offers as unemployment was not awful. And the unemployment rate dropped as workers took early retirement or, frankly, died.

Now pandemic protections are ending and inflation is eating into those wage gains. The way workers gain any lasting power is to gain stronger bargaining power. That means unions.

FYI it looks fine on my laptop (a Mac running Chrome). But it looked messed up on my phone (a Pixel 2), kind of like random static.
That webpage's fonts simply renders poorly on my older Mac and on my Linux systems. Is it the AA that is wrong for the main font? The only system I have here where it renders kinda okay (I still find that font way too bold for paragraphs) is on Windows.

I just don't think it's a good font. I don't think it looks good. I don't think a font that renders poorly on many systems is good from a UI / legibility / accessibility perspective.

They may have "solved" the scaling issue but I don't see
very careful thoughts about "typography" here.

A font which doesn't render well on several systems is simply broken.

Then the screenshots here are just badly resized:

https://designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2018/02/19/developing-new-typography-and-spacing-for-gov-uk-frontend/

Makes zero sense to resize screenshots like that, messing the font, when the whole point is to talk about typography (and if they're not resized, then there's something deeply broken with the fonts not just for me).

I don't know what font they're using but it looks like some serious case of NIH syndrome and I do believe there are way better fonts out there.

I give 5 out of 10 at the very most.

P.S: it's also one of the rare website which renders with the center column so narrow and I don't like it either.
Australia has ranked choice voting for all federal, state, and local elections (we call it preferential voting). And while our politics is a lot saner than the US, it is not a panacea.
I really agree with you on this one. I often play eurogames with my friends and really, I enjoy it because I'm with my friends, not because of the game. I often feel like I'm playing a spreadsheet.

Bluffing games, guessing games, dexterity games are much more fun for me.

Great video from David Pogue on the National Ignition Facility:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rI5-wASmzQ

If you watch the video it looks like it was shot earlier this year, but it is 10 years old. And yet, the video mentions 192 lasers (so that hasn't changed in 10 years), and they also mention that even after ignition is achieved, "laser fusion won't be able to power a city until a plant can fire 100s of shots a minute."

Interesting quote from a skeptic in the video: "We'll see pigs fly before we see ignition at the National Ignition Facility".

Tailscale is just fancy software that creates peer to peer encrypted tunnels between your devices using wireguard.

You can think of it as a LAN for all your devices regardless of what network they’re physically connected to.

The default use case of Tailscale is to have a private LAN, just for you, not your friends. This is changing now, though.

Tailscale does as of recently have the ability to do what you’re saying for Minecraft. It’s called Tailscale Funnel. This lets you expose a port on any of your devices to the public internet with a TLS enabled host name.

Another option for your Minecraft server is to use Cloudflare Tunnel. Works great for this kind of thing and is pretty much functionally equivalent to Tailscale Funnel.
Seems to me that a likely result is people choose to stop being railroad workers.

It has been interesting to learn about the history of why railroad workers have mostly separate but parallel labor laws.
Sweeney is a college student in Florida and the alleged incident happened in California. I’m guessing Musk is based out of Texas? CA > TX > FL according to anti-slapp.org grades but all three have anti-SLAPP laws. Sweeney might actually have the hardest time in his state because the laws are weirdly specific.

IANAL and genuinely curious, how much further can Musk shop around? To the state Sweeney’s corp is in (if he has one)? Does some random court in Kansas or whatever have the jurisdiction to slap a meaningful injunction against someone who’s never stepped in the state? I doubt Musk would be able to actually recover any funds that way but again IANAL and I’m curious. Can he make this federal?

Musk is literally trying to sue a twenty year old college student. Might as well try bleeding a rock. Is Musk so out of touch that he really thinks that he can get anything but a pyrrhic victory?
I think it's the only way they can garner interest and gain more funding. Fusion energy has always "50 years away." I agree it's a bit misleading but what else can LLNL do to attract more funding? I'm really not quite sure.
Back in 2007/8 during the financial crisis they jacked up the rate the max 10% because people weren’t paying their dues so I figured what if we all stopped paying housing prices would collapse and the hoa board would be in for a world of hurt. We eventually moved to the country where hoas are a no no
So the poor and middle class have to go beyond comfort and make concessions every day while these billionaires are free to burn the world at a 10000x rate of a normal person because “there’s not enough of them?”

Great logic. By that strand, I suppose they could also be allowed to abuse people, I mean it’s more important that we make sure the general population doesn’t abuse right? That’s what truly moves the statistic, not the crime perpetrated by a few billionaires?
Good catch, I was overstating SBF's claim there. Still, knowing his penchant for lying, even that much ("potential" interest) is probably a self-deluded exaggeration.
> You absolutely did when you said "yes" to the ability of a homeless person to exert as much influence

No, I didn't. You said "have the same ability to participate and get Bitcoin" to which I said yes. You reworded what I said, disingenuously, to force an incredibly weak argument.

> Its still massively unprofitable for me to mine with any hardware I still own, and many friends of mine with ASICs can't profitably mine either.

Ah, there it is. It's not about other people, it's about you. Like I've already stated, if you want to participate in Bitcoin but mining is out of range, go offer services and/or products for Bitcoin and earn it (I've done it happily, and have paid others for their services using it, too). Nobody owes you Bitcoin.

> Yeah, definitely seems like a normal thing average people are gonna be able to participate in.

Do normal people participate in SWIFT? No. That's the level Bitcoin is operating on. But it doesn't exclude them from transacting in the currencies that rely on SWIFT as a network.

> I can petition the lords for change. They can also just choose to ignore me. Some people wanted larger block sizes. Some wanted faster generation times. We've seen how those changes have turned out over and over.

And they likely will with this attitude. And yes, their ideas didn't gain traction so they ended up forking, and lo and behold, it didn't work. Those experiments were failures. The system works.
