How are you measuring that?
The computing industry has a pretty poor track record of multiple-implementations ever agreeing or being a net positive for the user. Instead it always seems to devolve into pile-of-hacks for platform X and pile-of-hacks for platform Y, regardless of what the specification says.
>Wifi 7 is going to be the more useful jump for most on Wifi 5 still I think.

I am going to disagree a bit and add a few things.

WiFi 6 is basically the 4G version from IEEE with OFDMA. And OFDMA is the biggest reason why 802.11ax was delayed by 2+ years. As anyone jumping from 3G to 4G will immediately notice the difference, lower latency, high bandwidth all due to better frequency allocation and efficiency. Jumping from WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 will see the same immediate benefits.

WiFi 7, or 802.11be is the 5G version, an evolution and improved version of 4G or Wifi 6. But the difference wont be as dramatic as WiFi 5 moving to WiFi 6, given most of the bottleneck we have today are total WiFI capacity constrain, not singular user use case.

And while 320Mhz and 4096 QAM are mostly given. ( They are on some of the WiFi 6E equipment already if I remember correctly ). A lot of the WiFI 7 features, such as Multi Link Operation and Multi RU tends to go missing when they first launch. i.e While they are part of the 802.11be spec, they are not (yet) guarantee to be shipping it. And even if they do you are likely end up with something like the fist gen of OFDMA and MU-MIMO, which requires lots of tuning and fixing and even 2nd generation silicon.

But a proper WiFi 7 is going to fill up the needs for 99% of consumer use case in the foreseeable futures. It sort of hit the end curve of Power law.

One thing I do hope will happen because marketing will have a hard time explaining it ( or at least I will make enough noise on the internet to demand a marketing explanation ) will be WiFi is now faster than the Wired Ethernet. Which will hopefully force them to include at least 2.5Gbps port on their routers. I dont think 10Gbps Ethernet will ever be cheap enough for consumer market, but I hope may be at least 5Gbps / Nbase-T / 802.11bz? You only need CAT6 cable for 5Gbps. ( You could even do it with CAT5e in short distances )
I disagree about them needing to be separate. Once you have that panel open (and knowing how to open it is the problem), you see the two high level selectors that you need. If you only need one, then the other is harmless and will not confuse you; you will just not touch it.
I don't consider forums social media. To me, HN is more of a forum.

A social media's primary goal is engagement - to keep you coming back for more, to keep you scrolling. And the content reflects that.

A forum's primary goal is discourse.

Reddit straddles that weird space in between.
Calls from public telephones are now free, they now also provide free wifi.

It does seem that the legal benefit of free space and electricity, and the commercial benefit of high foot traffic locations is too great for Telstra to simply give up these installations.
> force the org to track a different metric

Like adsClicked / serverResourcesConsumed? Interesting how that would stand up for users that e.g. post text vs users that post video, and the fallout of their followers.
Consider me dense but that is not the sentiment that I get from the article, it lumps all of Europe together, not France in isolation and that's the subject here I thought?

The way I read the article is: Europeans on average are positive about their relationship with the United States, with the French sitting at 84% positive, the reverse is reflected in the views of the United States versus Europe as a whole at 73%. Individual sentiment of the United States versus various European countries is not broken out.
> I don't know why non iOS browser play the stupid pseudo support game with Apple, it just makes it confusing for users like the parent comment...

That's easy. Users want their bookmarks, history, passwords, etc synced across devices, and so if there's no Chrome, Firefox, Edge etc for iOS to accomplish that on iPhone/iPad, people who have multiple Apple devices would likely switch to Safari and those users would be lost. Additionally, in the case of Google and Microsoft, they'd be opting out of those sweet, sweet streams of user data if they had no iOS presence. And so, those browsers exist, just built around WebKit instead of Blink/Gecko.
That period also included a massive expansion of Southwest’s footprint— something like 18 cities. I fly a lot and never had much trouble with them until this last week. United and American have been far worse for me in terms of delays and cancellations, not to mention their disgruntled staffs.

> Is this a site for curious inquiry, or pure political piling-on?

Good question. It seems that curious inquiry was not an important consideration during the height of a pandemic caused by a novel pathogen. We all paid the price for that, sadly. Some of us would like a word or two.

I'm sorry if that's inconvenient for some people, particularly decision makers who were not only in power, but who abused that power to censor dissent.

I absolutely cannot stand those scrolling selectors. They're a UX nightmare in every possible way - literally every one of them would be better replaced by either a normal list, or (when they're numbers) a number input field.
In Spain there is universal healthcare which is not perfect but works relative ok (although has been eroded over time) and most antivaxxers(and anti mask and anti everything) could be found within the right spectrum, basically as no sayers to everything the current government (social democrats) would recommend and propose.
> now that Edge switched to a compatible render engine

Not “compatible”. The same render engine.

Edge is essentially just Chrome with a slap of Microsoft paint.

That’s nice for uniformity, but having all browsers use the same engine is not good for the health of the open web. We do not want Google as a single point of failure any more than Microsoft.
The 8bit cartridge based computers really are instant on. I think that may be what the op is referring to. I don’t think any system with a hard drive or sdram can even get to a boot loader in the same amount of time regardless of the latency of the boot medium. It really was a different era.
Many young and healthy people still don‘t know anyone personally who died due to covid, nor anyone claiming to have long covid.

Covid was never dangerous to <50/60 year olds.
Yes, that's very true. But that is also a super dangerous conclusion, that means that effectively until the dead are quite literally piling up in the streets that people will be happy to pretend it isn't real. This ability to deny something as long as it doesn't affect you personally is likely a very handy trait at some times but during pandemics it is going to lead to major trouble.
Television ads for spirits, too, are legal and not uncommon in the United States.
Does AI prove we live in a simulation via the Fermi paradox?
From the current state of the art in AI, let us extrapolate that a true "superintelligence" (SI) is inevitable in the future. Maybe not in the next 10 years, but definitely in the next 100.

It is also reasonable to assume that once an SI emerges it will grow exponentially in power and go far beyond our ability to understand. It will assume complete control of the environment around us.

If we assume these things, why would such an SI only emerge on Earth? There are trillions of worlds out there existing for billions of years (and that's just what we know of). How could we possibly think that life, and SIs can emerge only once? It must have emerged in other places too - and so it must have emerged at other times too.

But if an SI has already emerged in our universe, then we must be experiencing reality in a way that is controlled or influenced by the SI. That is - we must be living in a simulation controlled by the SI.

The Fermi Paradox may support this conclusion. We're not seeing any other sign of life and therefore emergence of other SIs, because the simulation is designed that way.

Curious to hear thoughts on this line of thinking.

I've flown Southwest dozens of times. While I like their lower costs it's pretty easy to see where they are cutting costs with operations. In "normal" conditions their cost cutting is just functional. In any sort of exceptional situation their entire system fall apart.
A kid on Youtube invented the rotating version (scratching complete circles, then turning the plate.) Then an MIT student worked out a way to eliminate the second unwanted image; the pseudoscopic inside-out one. He gave talks on the techniques, find on youtube. Eventually he had an gallery show of his black, rotating scratch-holograms, and a few years later, was hired by various rock bands (and also Disney) to provide rotating scratch-holograms for vinyl re-issues of music. (But no need to remove the second image! That way you get one image down inside the black surface, a second one flying in the air above! Very spiffy and impressive.)

See Youtube playlist of scratch holograms.

I develop with Firefox on the desktop, and for the vast majority of cases if you develop for Firefox on the desktop, Chrome just works perfectly fine, and most of the time the mobile browsers work as well.

Safari (mobile), however, will be broken. Firefox on Android often breaks for more complicated stuff, but works better in my experience.

I wouldn’t doubt this, although a friend stuck at Denver yesterday told me he ran into a Southwest employee who couldn’t figure out where he was supposed to be for hours. WSJ mentioned it could be due to their call-in scheduling system being totally overwhelmed.
probably best to consult a lawyer to determine which laws, if any, were broken and if you have standing to sue

Year drop-downs are annoying for things like DOB because there are 100 choices to scroll through. Reminds me of my Humana insurance app where some questions had drop-downs of literally 1,000 values, so I'd swipe and swipe for several minutes, but if I swiped outside the box by a little bit, it would collapse and I'd have to start over. Eventually found that I could select a part-way value and then start swiping again, and if it collapsed I would at least go back to the part-way value.

So, typing in Y/M/D is better in most cases for DOB than drop downs, unless maybe it's dropdowns for [YYY][Y], then [MM] and [DD]? Or how about start with "How old are you" and then get me most of the way there on the picker? :-)

For me personally I think that's a large part of it. For example I loved Dark Star, even though the main "monster" is literally and very obviously a beach ball. There was just so much else that I liked that the beach ball didn't put me off.

I've seen many movies with relatively poor ratings that I enjoyed quite a lot.

Let's be honest - the zero covid policy totally failed, recent changes are not some "optimizations", CCP was forced to abandon its signature policy because major cities like Beijing and Chongqing were seeing large scale out of control outbreaks that can no longer be stopped by strict social restrictions.

So I'm kind of confused about who was and wasn't inspected. Was the inspection only for people intending to remain permanently or intending to start a naturalization process? Was this based on what travelers said their intentions were, or the kind of transportation they used, or something else?

My intuition is that someone coming as a tourist, for instance, wouldn't have been subject to this level of inspection. But I also suppose that was much rarer at the beginning of the 20th century than today.

(I also don't know what happened at the land borders in prior centuries.)

The article is about the sweeping change in European favorability of the US in the wake of Biden taking office.

The graph I linked from the article specifically breaks out France from the UK and Germany, and shows that the French population's position on the US has inverted several times in the measured period, with low points during the Trump and Bush presidencies where only around 40% of French respondents viewed the US favorably.

I'm going to stop responding here rather than keep digging the thread deeper.

Not the best execution but reveals some good information.
The best is to have both. Let customers type in a date and show it in a calendar below so people can confirm it's the date they're interested in. Let them tap on the calendar to correct it if needed.
On what other occasion has their entire system fallen apart? Most every other passenger I encountered during this debacle said something to the effect of “this never happens on Southwest”. I do agree that they’ve been squeezing the system (especially labor) the last few years during their covid expansion, however. This weather was apparently the final straw.
One thing I've never understood is the statement (in the movie and this script) "Only minutes old, the date and cause of my death was already known." The rest of the movie (and even what the nurse is saying) only talk about life expectancy, so I can't tell how he would know that. I suppose he's exaggerating, but it's kind of weird anyway.
Tip for crappy membrane input like microwave ovens, you can buy little silicone half dome feet that stick over the pads and make them much more tactile and easy to press.

I've put one over the "start" button on my microwave as it will do 1 minute increments which is fine for heating up water and other stuff.
This is only looking at another siloed alternatives, while ignoring federated protocols such as XMPP or Matrix. The problem can't be solved if an infra has to be the single point of failure:

1. It grows too large then it will get corrupted, e.g. Twitter/Reddit/Discord turning for surveillance capitalism and GitHub going for license laundering.
2. If it doesn't have many users it's likely to be discontinued.

On Matrix for instance, the room is replicated on all members' homeserver, and any admin can create a room alias (e.g. @foo:example.com creates #project:example.com, @bar:example.net creates #project:example.net). Like with emails, conversations can still go on even if some members' server goes down (and unlike mailing lists which are host on a single endpoint, there are multiple aliases).
Solution: add a transparent native date picker transparently fitted to a drop-down/calendar icon on the right of the inputs. Requires JavaScript to sync value between native date picker and the xx/xx/xxxx inputs, and it requires some CSS to make the picker “invisible”, and tabIndex to -1. This gives users access to their localised date picker (which can be really important), and may or may not help accessibility. Not DRY, but it solves a bunch of different problems on different browsers (e.g. you can’t tell if a browser has a broken date picker).

This technique also fixes the issue where a Safari Mobile date picker defaults to todays date, for example when using > to move through existing dates that are empty (clicking Done unobviously picks today - often not what you want). Terrible UI for fields like birth date or employment end date. Although depends a bit on whether a blank date makes sense.

Oh, and be really careful of type=number on Safari - it silently fails. inputmode=xxx can help, but it has weird differences between devices last time I looked (versions, Android, iPad etcetera). My mum repeatedly failed to enter a dollar value into a type=number, because she was entering a thousand’s comma (the UI showed $ and , everywhere for numbers so it is a sensible mistake to make; although Safari will display the entered number in the input field the .value==0 —— arrrgh silent failures are hideous).

I hate Mobile Safari - buggy, impossible to get bugs fixed, relatively poor standards support e.g. still need -webkit- prefix for some standardised CSS from a decade ago. Oh, and you end up with people using obsolete phones stuck on old Mobile Safari versions. Android updates Chrome even if it doesn’t update the OS (although Android also has the problem, it is less of a problem).
I agree with your second point, but your first one is simply not true.

> So Safari has outsized influence over which standards are actually feasible to build an application around.

Which, considering the alternative is Google having complete control over the web, I'm quite thankful for. It doesn't line up with how I'd like things to be in either case but it's much better for there to be some sort of check against Google. Google is far too aggressive about implementing new tech in the browser for very obvious reasons.

> Remember why MS switched from EdgeHTML to Blink? Because Google would hamstring EdgeHTML at every corner on their services. Not completely break it, but make Gmail or Youtube a tad slower than in Chrome.

I'm not exactly condoning, nor condemning, that behavior, but there's a little part of me that wants to say to Microsoft: "not so funny now, is it?"
> If Firefox had the marketshare of Safari and was mandatory to support

Uh, it kind of is? At least, I use Firefox exclusively and thus also support it when developing things.

The browser I have trouble with sometimes is a webview skin on mobile (whose engine is blink or whatever it's called nowadays), there some sites block the http user agent string for some reason or it's missing some advanced this or that and I have to switch to mobile firefox which is a lot slower.

> Can any browser that is not a reskin of Chrome with feature and bug-for-bug parity actually satisfy web developers at this point?

Uh, yes? Firefox? I don't understand your question.

I don't think it portrays them that way at all. If it did claim to have any bearing on reality it shows good and bad. War and slavery and murder and atrocities by the ruling class down to foot soldiers.

I can watch movies fictional or not about Nazis, as well as Vietnam, Iraq, Cambodia and other western interventions and wars -- without thinking that somehow portrays white or European people as bloodthirsty savages. I think it's pretty infantilizing to think a movie like that is "problematic", doesn't surprise me to see this kind of ultra-PC high horsemanship coming from academia but I think their fanciful claims about the risk of hate crimes and neo nazis due this film are a load of unsubstantiated and unscientific claptrap that they're just making up.
