> is there anyone who seriously reads poetry for fun nowadays?

1. IMO, there is some really great poetry out there. But the ratio is terrible. It's honestly worse than Youtube comments.

2. Poetry 1.0 mostly died for... reasons. But it's replacement - Poetry 2.0 - people absolutely love. You'd know it better by its common name "rap".

If you want some encouragement to wade through sewage to discover gems, here's one that really speaks to me:

Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
------------------------------------

W. B. Yeats

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Among other things, it really captures some of the melancholy of being a parent who isn't particularly wealthy.
Ask HN: How have you started recently using AI in your personal or work life?
Over the past months, while reading interesting stories on automated text and image generation, I've been feeling a small amount of FOMO about not yet taking advantage of any of it. I'm a Project Manager on software projects (mostly front and backend related) and feel that I could be improving my life or my team's but I'm wasting this opportunity. Any ideas that the community feels are worth looking into? Merry Christmas to all that celebrate it!
That's a fun hack!
> Do we focus too much on classic books/music/movies/plays/art/ideas, or too little?

Alright so maybe we’re going to draw straws to see who has to defend the affirmative, and they can open presents first or whatever
I agree with this. If someone has put in the work to become good at programming, and perhaps has some innate intelligence required to become good at programming, then I think it's reasonable to assume that they might be able to put in the work to become a great manager, and perhaps have some innate intelligence required to be a great manager. Certainly many programmers here are saying that they only program because they love it, and they wouldn't give it up to go into management. Great, but that in no way proves that there aren't some or perhaps many programmers who would like to make a transition to management.
How does this make sense economically?

Why do airlines offer these complex, gamable reward programs? Why do they not simply charge for whatever privileges frequent fliers get?
You're not describing the New York City subway. The L line was separated from pretty much everything else so it got upgraded to CBTC over a few years as budget, time constraints, and politics allowed. The rest of the network is thoroughly interwoven and runs 24x7. It also carries more people daily than all the other systems on the continent combined.

Having a major project in Qt 15 years ago under my belt I can't disagree more. The project started with Qt 2 and at some point migrated to to Qt 3 in half a day. KDE is written in Qt and frankly if it was not a good option that experiment wouldn't have succeeded so far given that the amount of commercial support is a fraction the one GNOME receives. (Yea I know - citation required).

The quirks in Qt are coming form the fact that was trying and still tries to implement a sane C++ dialect and build system (qmake) in a time where the standardization efforts of C++ and event STL was not at the same level of today. For example So now we Boost for signal and slots. Do we still need moc? The same for collections, maps etc. When they go introduced there was no standard / portable solution.

You can probably describe Qt like the C++ equivalent of the java promise (write once - compile everywhere) with its own support for sockets, filesystem and what else abstraction you can imagine off.

Qt was an impressive feat for its time and a joy to program for. Much better than what the web was at the time with is amalgam of languages and text only interfaces. It took web and flexbox up to 2015 to be able to implement the holy grail layout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_grail_(web_design) .
Fair enough. Serves me right for not reading the op for once.
(a) there's much more to hip-hop than one of its more commercial subgenres.

> requirements are so stringent that many manufacturers, especially bakers, find it simpler and less expensive to add sesame to a product — and to label it — than to try to keep it away from other foods or equipment with sesame.

That's why I always carry explosives when traveling by air: what are the chances that there's two bombs on a plane?
No, and most likely I'll never use it. To me, the technology is just some cute demos with zero substance.

This is the one I'm familiar with, for anyone with a penchant for exploration.
Another reason to use `void 0` is that "void 0" takes only 6 characters while "undefined" takes 9, saving some bandwidth. It is common practice for JavaScript minifiers to use this substitution.
Yes, pretzels are sold in bakeries all over Germany, but there are huge quality differences.

As a Bavarian living in Berlin, I am shocked both about the (lack of) quality and the (high) prices of pretzels.
It says a lot about how confused political discourse gets that the author considers these things "not politics". Politics is all about value judgements and arguing about where we are going.

If things like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... don't immediately become intensely political then somebody is being very ineffective at politics. There seems to be a weird assumption here that politics is fundamentally in bad faith and people aren't acting from value judgements and reason.
> Why did spicy foods become so popular when the first sensation they cause is pain?

Could be related to why BDSM is popular.
Why is it not poetry? Poetry is about format, it isn’t really subjective to the same degree as other types of art. You could argue it’s bad poetry, but it’s definitely poetry.
The most obvious christmas related topic is of course "Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie?"
Like a lot of things, "mask effectiveness" means one thing for an individual and another for a population. If everyone wears a neck gator while walking around walmart picking their nose, it's probably not gonna be real effective. If an individual wears a properly fit mask, they probably won't get covid.

Covid causes brain damage that lowers your IQ by about 7 points [1]. That's probably why China was going to great lengths to prevent it from spreading domestically. I still haven't gotten it, probably because I wear a vented N95 in most crowded places; I've long since given up on wearing a mask to protect other people who won't bother to wear one, but a fitted ventilator does lower your risk of getting the virus if you care to avoid it.

Make sure it is used in full capacity! If you don't, even more forests will certainly be cut down to satisfy growing coffee demand in e.g. Asia.
Still surprised (and disappointed) how limited the styling options for native form fields are in CSS. Select fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders and calendar inputs should be just as easily stylable as plain old text boxes and buttons.

The fact they're not is probably hurting accessibility and usability a ton, since just about every individual and business wanting stylistic consistency is stuck reinventing the wheel with 'fake' versions or JavaScript.
Another interpretation is that Facebook purchased permission from the government to violate the rights and privacy of millions of people. It even spawned the creation of international policies like the GDPR.

They weren't told to dismantle the services they used that data to build, including their ad tech, so what really did they lose except time?
Why did they become popular recently? Pain causes the release of endorphins, overall making you feel good. A similar concept as a runners high, except achievable watching TV on the couch.

Their original spread was likely for the same reason as most other spices, it could be used as a preservative by masking the taste of semi-rotten food.

Blessed self-reference, oh curse of recursion, pray my stack doesn't run too deep.
Most managers I've known would love to have someone to "believe and trust" to delegate stuff to.

I feel like the micromanaging managers simply don't have enough work to do? I personally celebrate everytime I find a developer who can manage themselves, their work, and if they can also manage the team (at least partly) that's amazing!
> The following deprecated methods are removed: Dir.exists? File.exists?

These names were really elegant, I wonder why they were removed. Searching the web, the only explanation I can find is they were removed because they were deprecated. So why were they deprecated?

If someone's in Hamburg and wants to grab a beer, let me know: canolcer@hey.com (doesn't need to be today)
Their software does see your master password. It may process it locally, it may not. If it's run in web client inside browser, that may change at any second. This may happen due to attack, their mistake, their dependency vulnerability or plain lie on their part. Fundamentally you need to trust them.

In case of keepass and independent sync(doesn't have to be Dropbox), software that sees master password doesn't need access to the internet. Can be even airgapped if you are extra paranoid.

So to sum it up: keepass + sync is better, because there's no single party that is even able to screw up you to the point of leaking your passwords. "Impossible to fail" is better than "they are doing their best, pinkie promise".

Also - why pay recurring fee for yet another cloud storage, when I just need plain encryption software.
What if this tweet was provided as "evidence" of the opposite claim:

> I think the situation at @LastPass may be better than they are letting on.
>
> On Sunday the 18th, four of my wallets were completely safe. There were no losses.
>
> Their seeds were kept, encrypted, in my lastpass vault, behind a 16 character password using all character types.

IOW, the honesty and integrity of the user does not matter. What matters is some form of verification of the cause of a breach, because this single post presents no useful evidence for determining the cause of the breach, most especially ruling out over-the-shoulder attacks.

What has confounded me for a long time is this question: are there no breaches of security cameras? I can spend time in a Starbucks and always see someone enter a password into some device, I do not recall reading that a security camera system has been hacked, yet I would assign an incredibly high value to security cameras in places like coffee shops, airports, hotel lobbies, etc.
As someone who lives in neither China or the US. I'm much more concerned about US companies and the data they collect.

China isn't much of a personal threat to me. The US on the other hand has a fondness for extraditing foreign nationals. Last I heard you still have a really nice Cuban resort for some of them.
Dear Agile Bits:

Please reaffirm my choice to pick you as our company password manager years ago before I research the ambiguity of centralized password management and make my own decision.
Yes, my question was written to bypass that answer. A very small amount of spice to a beginner is going to be painful and not release many endorphins.

My parents hate spicy food. They have never mentioned endorphins or feeling good.

Well working with machines wouldn't need sprint planning and code review. I think peer programmers are also uncontrollable, the business requirements and technology evolvements can be unpredictable, and the customers/users have their own agenda, and they're kinda what/whom senior programmers tend to care about. They don't represent the responsibilities of a manager role though.

Yes some would consider every ten years as regular.
Models are inherently more portable than the Google index. Think of Stable Diffusion, anyone can generate images on their own computers. When we get to the SD moment for text, then what will Google do? They can have better models, but people can have decent models as well, loyal models, that maintain privacy.
That's literally the opposite of what WASM is good for.

The browser platform is incredible because it doesn't break backward comparability, and has a very wide set of features to allow you to do 90% of what you want, but at an (occasional) cost of performance for the 1% of cases. WASM is there for that 1%.

Figma is a good example, JS+SVG+Canvas+DOM would be too slow for their use case so they built a WASM renderer. But that renderer is limited in functionality to exactly what they need, that is where they gain there performance improvement. Not by being able to magically solve problems the browser devs haven't been able to. It just a case of having a simpler renderer.

That's where WASM shines (for rendering), allowing you to simplify to gain speed improvements.

It's exactly the same with using JS+Canvas for performance critical drawing where the DOM is too slow. Use a simpler toolkit.

Running a whole browser in WASM will always be slower, and doing what you suggest would just result in a single implementation "monoculture" anyway.

(On the monoculture comment, there isn't one, Safari is massive because of Apples block of other engines on iOS. Loose that block then there may well be a monoculture)

I don't get it. How can anyone not like stop losses? Limited downside, unlimited upside. I only wish there was a way to set them client side in order to hide information from the exchanges.

That would be a great topic to argue over. I would say Jesus only really became/realized he was/decided he was/whatever the son of God about the time he met John. Before that he was a man from a relatively poor upbringing mostly picking himself up by the bootstraps. Though I suppose we don't know much about his earlier life. Unless you believe the "Jesus as a kid" stories, but they definitely feel sketchy compared to the main gospels.
It's not so easy because money is fungible. Instead of buying a rich person gokart you could buy an F-150 which will protect you the old school way (with lots of mass and metal around you).

There are definitely some good examples here. The fact that this:

> Animate to Auto

Still isn't possible with vanilla CSS in 2022 just boggles the mind, especially given jQuery managed to get it working decades earlier.

Similarly, why can't we have different visible and scroll/auto values for overflow? Like, this feels like the weirdest limitation to be stuck with decades later:

> The computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’ are the same as their specified values, except that some combinations with ‘visible’ are not possible: if one is specified as ‘visible’ and the other is ‘scroll’ or ‘auto’, then ‘visible’ is set to ‘auto’. The computed value of ‘overflow’ is equal to the computed value of ‘overflow-x’ if ‘overflow-y’ is the same; otherwise it is the pair of computed values of ‘overflow-x’ and ‘overflow-y’.

Such utterly bizarre design choices that don't take designer/developer expectations into account at all.

Do you still have the old iPhone SE?

Apparently, and this explains my experience, after an OS update the phone will use a lot of battery while it does post processing of any photos you have and other random stuff.

After a full night’s charge, the next morning my iPhone SE battery plummeted so fast that the numbers were ticking down every few seconds.

After some Googling I read about this post-update battery usage issue. I deleted all the photos from my phone and my battery is now fine.

I wonder how many people have bought new phones because of thinking their phone battery is on the way out when really it is just post update activity.
