But it does not understand anything here, see my other comment. It completely dodges the question and answers "It's funny because you told me it's a joke and jokes are funny and have a punchline in the end."
So, jokes are effectively single-use Turing tests?
I agree with you.

Hmm. I just opened a thumbnail view of a directory of 770 PDFs (with thumbnails disabled for now due to a HiDPI bug[1]) in Nautilus (GNOME Files) 43.0, and while the scrolling is a tad janky it basically works. I do dislike how long it takes to load that folder at first, yes, but I don’t think I understand your complaint here.

> The point stands. Explorer.exe 11 is nearly two decades ahead of GTK / Gnome.

No, it doesn't.

Explorer is the file manager application on Windows. The file manager application on Gnome is called Nautilus, and Nautilus has had thumbnail support for a very long time.

This is about the file picker dialog, which both on Windows and on Gnome/GTK+ is not coming from the file manager. You can say that dialog should have had for thumbnail support for longer, sure. It's also correct that Windows added thumbnail support to its file picker dialogs earlier. But Win98 did not have this, either, and Windows at least for some time did not have parity between the file manager and the file picker dialog.
Keeping investigations private in order to protect those presumed innocent in a normal part of any law enforcement.

Should police officers dump the body cam footage of every domestic abuse situation they walk into online?

If you want to fault the oversight and transparency of the goals of these agencies, then sure. But let's also not pretend that making all elements of investigations public would be a good idea.
It would definitely make me question how much I cared about the sign, and ask myself difficult questions about why the FBI were getting involved. I’d probably even engage a lawyer. But it’s not clear to me I’d take it down if — after all of this — I’d decided keeping it up was the right choice?
Any experience with this board? Toolchain, etc?
I recommend the book The Schizophrenias - Ours to conquer by Carl C. Pfeiffer. It divides schizophrenia into several phenotypes that have metabolic causations.

I used to have manic episodes for my whole life, but managed without medication. After I fixed my histamine oversupply in the body around march(by cutting folic acid and histamine-rich foods from my diet and taking L-methylfolate supplements), I haven't had another episode.

I used to have allergies and crazy food cravings for sugar and other unhealthy stuff because of the histamine issues which are gone now. This phenotype is called histadelia.

Then there is histapenia, where you have too much copper accumulated in your body and it can’t get rid of them unless you take higher doses of zinc and mangan(and a chelator to avoid complications). Folate and histamine levels are too low.

Overall B-Vitamins are pretty important. If you need them its way higher doses than RDA(b3, b6, b2)

Thyroid problems can be involved in schizophrenia, aswell as gluten intolerance.

Also recommend the books by Dr. Abram Hoffer.
This closely matches my experience as well.

Same experience here, back in 90s my decent leather branded sneakers (Adidas/Nike) could cost easily in my country like 1/4th of minimum wage, now you can buy same brands similar quality models for like 1/12th of minimum wage, so these branded sneakers are much more accessible. Let alone novels for kids, noname brands cost maybe 20-30% less, but the difference is actually just few euros so not really worth buying noname for kids.
Private cars have always been treated differently to private aircraft in US, UK, and EU law. So, no, it’s not analogous.

Nobody would even contemplate a public registry of car owners, for instance, but all of those countries maintain one for aircraft.

I’ve seen multiple attempts to make the same argument you are by disgruntled private aircraft owners every now and then. None have succeeded in any official venue.
A lot of PTZ cameras have fairly large sensors compared to webcams or phones, and unlike a phone or DSLR they’re designed to be operated continuously so they shouldn’t overheat.
> Noam Bardin opened a can of worms in a famous post that analyzed Google's problematic attitude towards Waze and innovation in general. Google, instead of seeing Waze as a brand to be nurtured and promoted, treated it as an incubator of ideas that should be exploited. "Every idea we had was quickly adopted by Google Maps," he wrote. Nor did the company use its vast resources to attract new users to Waze: "The Android app store treated us as a third-party application. There were no pre-installations on devices and no further distribution. We had a much larger marketing budget, but we were limited in what we could do and the third parties we could work with because of corporate policy. All of Waze’s post-acquisition growth came from work we did, not from mothership support. Looking back, we could probably grow much faster and much more efficiently if we had remained independent."

Waze is better than Google maps, but it's impossible to compete with someone just copying everything. It's a shame they were allowed to buy their competitions. Google maps still doesn't have the features I'm using Waze for, like traffic cameras, road hazards warnings, police warnings etc.

I guess that's a good time for a Waze clone to come up. Probably a matter of time until it becomes another thing Google destroyed.
Anybody else get the distinct impression we should be figuring out how to incorporate the three laws NOW, before shit gets very real?
Do you have any idea why Nautilus isn't also the file picker?

The global menu bar is bad UX for a windowing desktop because it visually disconnects actions from the window they belong to. It's not always obvious which window has the focus and using the menu bar can easily trigger an action in a different window or application than intended.

It's no different than when you have issues with food:

> An elimination diet involves removing foods from your diet that you suspect your body can’t tolerate well. The foods are later reintroduced, one at a time, while you look for symptoms that show a reaction.

* https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/elimination-diet

You either 'go to zero' and start introducing one new element/variable at a time to see what is causing you issues, or you start at the status quo and remove one variable at a time. It's a controlled 'experiment' on yourself.

> Do we really want the FBI manning a task force of 80+(according to Taibbi) agents to monitor social media threads, and if so, what's to stop that number from just growing and growing?

They have a limited budget. If the FBI reckons their mission is best accomplished this way, who are we to second-guess it?
Someone need to build an apple watch on this and send this jokes to me, but if i'm not laughing, then ask ChatGPT how can it be better?
Musk is the one cherry picking by choosing which data journalists get. Taibbi alleges that the Biden Campaign was censoring content but leaves out that it was revenge porn. He says the Trump team made requests for removal of other content but leaves those out entirely. Bari Weiss was given an incomplete dataset which showed only Democratic messages but left out those from Republicans. There’s more, but that’s not enough cherry picking to make the entire thing dubious.

> Look up Talkwalker, Hootsuite, Nexalogy, etc. Governments and other institutions use these tools.

I suspect that these tools are all looking at the world's largest social networks with 9-10 figure user bases. The same argument applies to them: they're too big. None of them should exist. Once you break it down to thousands or millions of different platforms, each with much smaller user bases, it becomes prohibitively expensive to surveil them all.

> We kinda want law enforcement to know if Jimmy Bullets just posted that he's gonna shoot up grade 4 English tomorrow.

Has this ever prevented a shooting? They always find these posts after the fact.
AFAIK if the FBI asked, Twitter resisted, and the FBI strong armed them that would be a first amendment issue.

I don’t see any sign they resisted or even wanted to resist. That’s not a first amendment issue.

You can make an argument that the FBI should not be doing that, but no laws were broken. Also most of this was under the Trump administration.

Lastly.. Twitter is a private walled garden. It is not a free speech zone. It wasn’t before Musk bought it and it isn’t now and it never will be.

"the talk" given to me was mostly focused on drugs, gambling addiction and really hardcore internet addictions (as in not being able to do anything else). Nobody talked to me about mild ones, or the slow creep that an internet addiction can have.

As a consequence I steered clear of all physical addiction and never gambled, but spent countless hours on the net without it creating a problem, until years later (earlier this year) where it all compounded into a nice pile of "not being able to do much beside scrolling social media".

At least in my view, this isn't a matter of demureness but the intent. Music videos have been doing the same for several decades. Sometimes there is artistic depth or purpose to it but more often than not, it's just "sex sells" - possibly at the cost of the artist's dignity.

WeWork is living dead, taking down and feasting on the flesh of the living. Their financials are so bad that there is no possibility of rescue, only the matter of the timing and details of end. Meanwhile the coworking space continues to be critical for an increasing fraction of the workforce. Those companies that actually live in this space by charging members fees that pay for the property and services required have a huge challenge competing with WeWork. It is a textbook case of venture capital doing terrible damage to an entire sector without actually contributing anything. The capital will be burned through and WeWork and other companies will die and then maybe we can start again for real. It is so frustrating.

It’s Matt Taibbi. Unhinged framing designed to inflame populist rage is something he’s been doing since the 2008 financial crisis when he made his career on it.

I wonder where this trend - fortunately a limited one - with putting confirm buttons at the top comes from? Humans naturally read from top to bottom. It naturally follows that the final action in any UI should be at the bottom.

I find these buttons at the top extremely confusing, as I often - from my experience with reading - after I've dealt with the subject at hand (in this case, picking a file), assume the natural place to confirm my choice would be after it (i.e. below it).

What are the UX arguments for placing the confirm buttons at the top of a dialog?
True, but that's in the past. If Telsa wants to flourish into the future, it will be without Musk. He did his part, and made himself billions in the process - from a Tesla perspective its time to move on.
That's funny because I've been trying to figure out chatGPT's humour parameters and found that it OFTEN uses play on words when appropriate. I find that it will typically hyphenate the play on words. If you try pun-in-ten-did it will likely figure it out.

One of the most hilarious things chatGPT came up with was a "standup routine about something that is normal in school but absurd in the real world" and it went on a tirade about "Imagine if we had a grading system in real life? Like what if your partner gave you a report card every year and sat down to discuss your C- in initiating affection"

The entire bit was golden - you can coax it to be funnier by asking for 10 variations on the joke or "keep going on the part about xxx" and asking it to make even more absurd scenarios or include several layers of play on words. It is really at it's best when being guided.

An example in the above "Come up with 5 premises for amusing subjects in which a husband would receive poor grades in the relationship report card".

Then ask it to go long form on the funniest line.

Some examples of the above:

* You are on a trip with your partner, you accidentally forget to pack their toothbrush and toothpaste. Your partner is annoyed and frustrated, and you receive an F in attention to detail.

* You are at a restaurant with your partner and you order what appears to be an enjoyable meal, but end up with a dish you don't like. Your partner is sympathetic and tries to help you, but you are disappointed and unhappy. You receive a D in culinary adventure.

* You are at a party with your partner and their friends, and you accidentally spill a drink on their boss. Your partner is embarrassed and upset, and you receive an D- in social etiquette.

* You are on a romantic date with your partner, and you accidentally trip and fall into a fountain in an embarrassing manner. Your partner is amused and tries to help you out but you are wet and fall again when exiting the fountain, further embarrassing yourself. You receive an F in grace and poise.

The situation's are not overly amusing but the idea of having "grace and poise" and "culinary adventure" as a relationship subject really caught me off guard as funny.

I'll leave you with one of my favorites:

>What's an absurd situation that might lead to you getting an F- in communication?

You are at a dinner party with your partner and their friends, and everyone is having a great time. Suddenly, a bird flies into the house and starts making a lot of noise. Your partner's friends are all amused and start laughing and talking about the bird, but you don't say anything. Your partner looks at you and asks, "What do you think about the bird?" But instead of answering, you take out your phone and start playing the "Hotline Bling" ringtone on loop. Your partner looks at you with confusion and annoyance, and asks if you are okay. You continue to play the ringtone and do not respond to their question.

edit: noting that chatGPT tries very hard to be gender neutral and stereotype-averse, and I can't imagine that isn't hampering it's inappropriate humour potential...
If you're going to pre-compute, pre-compute also a look-up table for your ordered data. I wrote something like this for a simple flat-binary key-value store [1] (that table is computed into RAM on start-up).

That way you jump from look-up table to look-up table, and then search the remaining space with something like a binary search.

The right balance is probably a mix of digital and analogue, so yes leveraging printed information where it’s more cost effective or practical is a good call.

Now, I think there really are better interfaces than paper in most of our everyday use cases, and it’s more on what people are used to or what they’re comfortable with (the Chinese student example in the article is basically that). It’s totally valid, and everyone has preferences, it should just be explicited that it’s really about individual taste.

No, no idea.

It's surprisingly common for DEs across different operating systems to have several independent implementations of file lists/icon views between the file manager, the desktop background and the file picker dialogs. I think across Win, Mac, Gnome, KDE this actually describes most of these systems for most of their history.

You sometimes do find code reuse or even sharing a process between the file manager and the desktop background. Windows has done this, and Gnome also had a phase like this.

KDE recently unified the view code for the file manager (Dolphin) and the file dialogs, but the desktop background has distinct UI code (with the same directory model backend, and shared code for thumbnailing, context menus and other bits). In that case the reason is different UI frameworks (Qt widgets vs. QML).
A couple humorous takes on this:

I swear that my initial reading of the title was "74 Decades Later", and I smiled because it fitted the feeling of how late this addition is arriving. Then I realized it'd be a bit strange that they used this kind of snarky sarcasm on their own blog, and had to re-read again the title.

Also,

read to me as

> this (lack of an essential and basic UI feature) was only caused by the typical "let's rewrite everything" movement that started more than a decade ago

I know HNers are very sceptical of the technical merits (or their lack thereof) that ground-up rewrites usually have. I only hope in some years, GTK 5 or 6 doesn't decide to trash all this work and starts from scratch again.

Regardless, my congratulations to the people who pushed through and contributed their effort to make thumbnails back!

I was naively hoping ChatGPT would totally whiff all the joke explanations, but it got uncomfortably close often enough that I don't think this is will work like a Turing test. Future versions won't be any worse at this skill, at least.
Yet Windows ran 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit code on the same core for years. Huh.

Really folks. It doesn't take new research or exotic OS design ideas, to do something that has been common practice for a decade. Let's quit pretending linux is driving any innovation. It's followed behind in OS design, often by years.
Counterpoint: I am a parent of five kids, with one of them just turning adult. The oldest two had unlimited access to the net and personal laptop and phone.

I think this contributed greatly to them having all kinds of mental problems. My other children will not have personal devices, but rather dumb phones and a family computer they can use that is in a central place in the house. Until they turn 16.

Tongue in cheek: Based on my experience I now think that giving children free access to the net is roughly as good parenting as providing them a sack of cocaine would be.
