Most mobile ISPs in the UK use Procera Networks (now Sandvine) products that do basic deep packet inspection to filter traffic.

You can allocate users to pools and provide contectivity based on the pool, ie allowing you to limit speeds of high usage users or have different filtering lists like this under 18s list.

With these devices you are able to block traffic to specific domains even if SSL is used with relative ease.

As it is done at network level, you can't bypass via different DNS provider, only vpns can bypass

It's also highly questionable whether it's even a stable identity. In dementia health care, there are many reports of transsexuals forgetting their opposite-sex gender identity, and becoming shocked and horrified at what has been done to their bodies. Perhaps gender identity is not as innate as activists would like us to believe.
You mean half the French nuclear fleet which is out of commission causing much of the current problems?

France has gone from the largest electricity exporter in Europe to an importer.
People have built "UIs" on websites for decades, without the current flavor of SPA web frameworks. It is actually very easy to put things like a navigation and forms and such things on a website. Most websites do not need more than that. They merely show some information. Maybe you can register through a form or login through a form to see some more information. Not every website needs to be a SPA. The use-case you are apparently relating to, the one of websites really needing a more complex desktop-like UI, is merely a small percentage of websites. If you find yourself building a SPA on every second project, then you are most likely just following hype.

If you find yourself wanting to put dialogs on a website, consider showing information in a different way, more appropriate to the web. Work on your assumptions of how things must be done and some problems will disappear without ever having to write gnarly code.

Aside from that, writing a dialog is really not that difficult. I've done that before and I didn't need any framework to do it. Just don't rely on its modality for security, obviously, because one does not rely on frontend code for security anyway. Element zapper will make short work out of any dialog, that tries to block the stuff underneath it.

Ultimately the browser is not the desktop. It has a different use-case. Too many people do not understand this and try to shoehorn things into being "like on the desktop". Write desktop programs, if you want the desktop (not Electron shit ...). Write websites, if you want the web and the browser. Both have their own quirks and complications. Trying to force one into the other will only lead to more complications. Good design pays attention to the medium.

Ask HN: Do OLED displays only save energy with absolute black?
It was always my understanding that OLED displays use less energy the darker the screen is. However I now came across some information that this is actually only true for absolute black (#000000).

Is that correct? Does #010101 use the same energy as #FFFFFF or do darker shades still use less energy?
Of the UI toolkits listed, it seems like Egui is nicest to use. It's flexible, has a nice collection of built-in widgets, is compatible with 3D graphics APIs (like WGPU), and has a clean API.

I don’t know if the phone system is relying on the caller to properly format their number, but it seems like a mad way to handle things.
> Contrary to the prevailing opinion

I'm not sure this is the prevailing opinion. It may be something of a "vocal minority" opinion, but it does seem more common in the Rust community than elsewhere. The closer you get to traditional native app designers and developers, the more you'll hear the opinion that native look & feel (not to mention accessibility) is important to embrace.

IMO an ideal solution is to offer both: 1. to wrap native toolkits for things like text and UI controls, and 2. to enable canvas-drawn virtual controls, for those who would prefer to create their own widgets. These approaches can be enabled in parallel through an extensible widget/component system.
It would appear to be entirely intentional

I assume at least 50% of US voters would agree, but it is one of those things that extremists are willing to put a lot of effort into fighting and so the majority will let them have it because there are bigger problems. Especially since physical currency is less and less relevant.
And 'doctor' means someone with a PhD. I know a lot of doctors. However, when you talk about medicine, we mean 'Doctor' with an M.D. and they are literally held to higher standards of ethics and liability. They are licensed and people who practice professionally without a license are subject to legal ramifications.

Call yourself whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you get to define what 'Engineers' are and what ethics they are bound to. Just because you use the term in your title and say it is used properly in English, doesn't mean that you won't get treated any different than someone with a PhD demanding to be called Doctor and pretending there is no difference between them an and M.D.

I don't feel it's obvious at all. Is it not surprising that you can't reliably store chars to a file using fgetc/fputc?

The appeal is that Facebook would control the hardware and software for a platform, so they couldn't get locked out of it or come to rely on functionality that the vendor removes (like Apple did with IDFA). It could also allow them to expand into the Enterprise space with Metaverse meeting rooms, conferences, etc. The justification for why Facebook is so interested in it is pretty clear, there isn't anywhere left to grow in their existing markets so they're attempting to create a new market.

Now why a normal person would ever use it? I have no idea. I've tried Horizon Worlds and found the process deeply unpleasant. Then again I was a huge Dreamcast fan back in the day, so my track record for picking winning technologies isn't blemish-free.

If you are a light user (in the UK) then 1p Mobile is excellent value. I've no links with them (apart from being a happy customer). They use the EE network, so coverage is good. Costs are 1p/minute calls, 1p/text message, and 1p/MB data, and you must top up by at least £10 every 120 days. Unused credits rollover to the next period.
They have also introduced a newer scheme: £36 per year for unlimited talk and texts, and up to 250MB data/month. Again, I think that unused credit rolls over (i haven't used this option, so check the details).

> I’m a strong believer that any content produced by someone for the internet should be permanent until the original author chooses to delete it. It should be always available and addressable.

That's what a lot of people believe who don't know how he actually does it. But in his book he describes it pretty well. He doesn't think in different, contrived ways or is somehow able to visualize higher dimensions or whatever. He just spent a lot of time working on problems until he could break them down to easily understandable components. This is like thinking a computer algebra system is wicked smart for being able to solve tricky undergrad integrals. But if you ever learn how it works, it turns out that it's not superhuman at all. It just a huge accumulation of basic knowledge and heuristics - i.e. a result of hard work. For sports this is a bit different, since you will hit genetic limits pretty fast once you approach the top. A 5'5 volleyball player will never be competitive on standard net heights. But from experiments by people like Polgár, we know that e.g. a chess prodigy is mostly about starting early and then keeping motivation and persistence. Some would argue that genetics still play a big role through IQ, but even here Feynman serves as a counter-example: As a student he was denied membership in Mensa for not passing their IQ test. Success is a combination of hard work and luck. It is certainly not "magic." That's just a lazy fallback and rationalization used by people for things they do not understand.
I had a Three SIM in my old chromebook for internet browsing while staying in hotels without free WiFi.

It was blocking regular US news sites as "adult content". Supposedly you could enter your driving license number (which also encodes your date of birth) in order to get the restriction lifted.

It never worked.

I gave up using Three.
My other comment is applicable here too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33980426
Apparently it works for HN and doesn't work for YouTube, which is why HN should keep the system, and YouTube should change it.

I propose an alternative system, which would work better for YouTube than HN, because it is easier when more people use the service. When you create a new account, you have two options: either someone already on the network vouches for you, or you pay $20 (the more different methods of payment supported, the better). When your account is banned, if you paid the money it is lost; if someone vouched for you, their ability to vouch for people is limited somehow (e.g. normally you can only vouch for one person each month, and if someone you vouched for is banned, you lose this ability for 6 months).

To make the switch to new system easier, keep the legacy accounts (but without the ability to vouch for other people, unless someone vouches for them first, in which case they are no longer legacy accounts), and only apply this rule to accounts created in 2023 and later.
> Way better than insta

I use Flickr a lot.

But about twice per year, I think, "I should give Instagram a try again." Each time I try, it just comes across as loud and garish. And even if it weren't loud and garish, you can't really get a good look at high-res photos on Instagram. It takes me about 30 seconds to realize, "Oh yeah. Now I remember why I don't like Instagram."

I guess loud / garish / low-res is the price you pay for Instagram's huge popularity. I hope Flickr can find that happy medium of being popular enough to stay alive, but not so popular that it takes on the characteristics that make Instagram unseemly.

Yep, he uses plain Python.
I’m getting sick less often, possibly because of still masking in public indoor spaces, or maybe because I began exercising more since the lockdown. I haven’t had Covid (at least not to the extent of symptoms or positive test).
So what are potential uses of this, with Manifest v3 around the corner?

Could this run as an nginx JS module and filter traffic at the network level in my home as a local proxy?

This has nothing to do with knowing it was fraud or impending bankruptcy which has nothing to do with having a bankruptcy court claw back money given to you in preference of others. This is like Brady getting a bad check. So he doesn't get paid for acting. A lot of other people didn't get paid what they were owed.
My theory: (Competitive) programming speed is largely a function of how intimately you know your chosen set of tools and standard libraries. Time spent reading docs is "wasted" time.

If you've written your own language, assuming it's a decent one, then:

a) It has all the tools you need to be productive.

b) You know exactly how it works and what the APIs are (assuming the implementation details are still fresh in your memory).

c) The features are tailored to exactly how you like to use them, personally.

He had such high hopes!
Oh, but Rust has even more web framework than GUIs libraries;).
In my experience that never worked. I eventually gave up trying to use them.

This is not true at all, in general quoting in these markets is absurdly capital-intensive compared to tradfi.

> These days a naive market making strategy in crypto just incinerates capital very reliably as the tiny bid ask spread is a small fraction of the adverse selection risk (whole spread moving past). They did probably make money on this in the early days and got smoked when the sophisticated tradfi players joined.

Are the sophisticated tradfi players here yet? Seems like no?

I gave up on Flickr this year.

Some time early next year I've had a Flickr Pro account for 20 years. For about 17-18 of those years, Flickr hasn't made much of an effort, and when I think about it, I'm a bit cross with myself for having given them my money for so long with so little in return. I should have stopped giving them my money more than a decade ago. And so should everyone else so that whoever has been in charge over the years got an actual incentive to get off their asses and do something about the site. To at least develop a vision that is something other than "let's coast for a couple of decades".

I know there have been attempts to revive it, but they have, at best, been anemic and episodic.

For the first 10 years I stayed there in order to keep in contact with all the people I had gotten to know in the first couple of years. In the brief period when Flickr was a good place to meet people also interested in photography. People gradually disappeared over that decade. Flickr became a ghost-town. I remember browsing it now and then to see who was still around.

The next decade I stayed on because I didn't want the photos I had uploaded to just vanish from the web. Which is a nonsense reason because I have all of the photos in my archive anyway, so I can just re-upload them somewhere else.

For me to come back to Flickr whoever owns it now has to demonstrate that they are serious about creating a photography site. It has to be fast, it has to be photography focused, it has to offer navigation/discovery that isn't slow and ugly and clumsy. And perhaps it has to also cater to the intersection between blogs and photography as a lot of the more interesting photography sites I follow now are really blogs.

The community that once existed is gone. It won't come back. People have moved on. That doesn't mean that there can't be a new community. But it takes some doing.
Alameda was in general deeply incompetent. Front running your customers is not all that doable if you insist on using python.
I'm not sure why would that be fraud - who would be the defrauded party there? Offering wildly different conditions or prices to different customers definitely isn't fraud.

The other customers have no standing there, they have no relationship whatsoever that contract between the bank and another customer, they have no legal expectation to get the same conditions or to know what conditions other customers get. If the bank explicitly and intentionally lied that no other customers get so favorable conditions, that might be false advertising but I'm not sure, I'd expect a reasonable court to interpret that a bank "telling your customers you don't and can't do this" is exaggeration/puffery (i.e. permissible) and doesn't have to literally mean that they're not doing that for anyone, it means that they absolutely refuse to do it for you.
I don't pretend to fully understand markets but movement on BTC, etc with all of these developments is just further proof to me there is no connection between any of these coins and reality.

As another example, when Ethereum successfully moved to proof of stake without a hitch (an ultimately impressive and challenging development) the price actually went down.

I don't understand anything in this space.
