> would you really think it more "sane" to have to have a separate call and permission requests for each individual key, across apps?

Er, yes? I'd expect it to be something like on the first run you get a prompt like "foo wants to read ctrl+a, ctrl+b, and ctrl+shift+c even when it's in the background; allow?", and reprompt on changes (so you'd tell the app to change it, and then confirm to the OS that you're okay with it). I'd also personally be happy with the OS initiating things with a single control panel that listed all apps that can listen and you tell the OS what keys should signal what apps and how, but that might be too complex to ask people to use.

> Blame Discord for failing to communicate something that isn't a big deal

In fairness, also very much this; every app should always explain every single permission it requests.
Stupid question form a ignorant person (me): Are reals actually real? Do they even exist?

Almost all reals (besides some countable subsets, which are irrelevant compared to the many many more reals that aren't part of those sets) have infinite many non repeating decimal places, and what's even more annoying, almost all of them aren't computable.

The physical universe we can experience is finite. How can more than infinite many "unspeakable" things "exist" in that universe? How does this make sense? You can't express most reals in any meaningful way! Not even by constructing imaginary "infinite" computers.

So, when almost all reals aren't anything we could ever experience, or even name in any meaningful way, why do people believe they "exist" in the first place?

I have no issue to imagine infinite things as long as I can construct some algorithm to name them. But when there is no such algorithm, how can we know that the thing that can't be named actually exists?

I'm not trolling. It's a genuine question I have since some time but didn't have the chance to talk to some mathematicians to get things explained. Maybe someone here could try to explain why we should believe in the existence of real numbers, even there is nothing in the whole universe that relates to most of them?

(Especially as the possibility to subdivide any interval infinitely gives rise to phenomenons like the Banach–Tarski paradox. But most people would agree: You can't make something out of nothing. This is imho another strong pointer that reals are an illogical idea in the end. They give rise to contradictions to basic things we assume to know about reality).
Large media filter in uBlock Origin helps immensely here. It's on by default.

I'm not sure how that really helps? Moving multiple years is still going to be a huge pain, so you're only really saving people who have a birthdate in or very close to that same year.

In the UK, “mincemeat” is now spiced, chopped fruit, usually with some suet (heavy fat) though these days I imagine you use the vegetable version.

But way-back-when (and I’m not sure exactly how far back we’re talking) the British version would contain meat as well. Plus the traditional pastry would contain lard as well as butter.

Far from vegetarian-friendly!

Personally I love them, and my grandmother used to make them with the lard pastry. Delicious but a heart-attack in waiting.

So in fairness, I am in no way anti-vax but I am not vaccinated and intend to ride out this whole unvaxed thing until either my risk levels become higher or some new bad ass strain comes along like the fourth horseman.

So as I understand your logic is unvaxed = worse infection = worse heart damage. At this point close to 100% of the western population has had covid. Has there been enough research to know for sure that the unvaxed are at a higher risk for heart damage or are you simply asserting that because it sounds logical?
Most services like to spam users mailboxes with promotions and marketing material for their company, in addition, handling lost password requests would be quite a bother without the requirement that a user ties an e-mail address to an account.
Chrome for Android’s picker is worse in every way I can think of:

Video: https://imgur.com/a/W196T5f

iOS keeps the input on screen, so you can see the value in context. Android covers it up, and shows the value in a different format in the header.

iOS shows the Month+Year inside the calendar, with a blue arrow beside it to indicate interactivity. It’s not a strong affordance, but it’s something.

On Android, nothing gives any such affordance.

Blindly tapping the month+year in the calendar does nothing.

Blindly tapping the day or month on the header does nothing.

The year looks similar to the day and month, only smaller, and slightly darker grey. But if you tap it, you can scroll through the years.

There’s no way to scroll through months – the only option is to tap through them one at a time.
What is video if not binary data? You can send whatever you want over a media channel, WebRTC is (largely) unopinionated about the payload contents.

I enjoyed KKC when I first read them, but I haven't re-read them. I think Rothfuss is a talented writer, but given that the third book is MIA for going on 10 years, I'm not inclined to recommend it to anyone, unless you're OK with a fairly good but un-and-likely-to-never-be-finished series.

I'd put almost all of my other recommendations above KKC.

That said, it's a pretty popular series and comes widely recommended, so YMMV. I personally would skip it and read something else.

Word of warning: Gentlemen Bastards is equally unfinished -- but I have faith that Scott Lynch will eventually publish the next book before Rothfuss did. Plus I consider the first book (and to a lesser extent, the second and third books) to be fun enough on their own that I'm not aching for a fourth book in the way that KKC leaves a story unfinished. In short, I'd still recommend reading Gentlemen Bastards :)
I don't know why you'd assume my observations are an attack on him personally, or try to characterize me as cancelling him. Apparently he's somewhat noteworthy? I just shared related information I found interesting and comment worthy.

It feels you'd prefer I stifle my reflection on the petition I found and the thoughts I had? Seems a bit like being cancelled for not limiting my perspective to the proposal and commenting on anything related I'd read upon googling the people in the article.
What is the difference between "the terminal" and the "terminal emulator".

This appears to be for the terminal emulator. I gave up on X11 and its successors many years ago in favor of what was called, at the time, "VGA textmode". No framebuffer, unfortunately. Have not used a mouse outside of work in thirty years. "Clips" for me are captured (copied) from pipes or from pseudo-terminals, saved in buffers and pasted into pipes and pseudo-terminals.

A "terminal multiplexer", i.e., tmux, is the solution I use as a "clipboard", namely what tmux calls "saved buffers". Specifically the commands I use are load-buffer, save-buffer, paste-buffer, list-buffers and delete-buffer.

So what the heck is "the terminal". The way HN commenters use the term it probably means "the terminal emulator". But perhaps it is an umbrella term for textmode, multiplexer and emulator.
Years ago, a dear friend who used to run his own servers, and was even on the board of one of those Internet public interest nonprofits... gave up and moved his email to GMail.

Now, I'm still self-hosting, but most of my private email is nevertheless being archived and farmed by a company, because almost everyone I talk with is using them. Sigh.
Every single one has had this happen. Delta by memorial day, Alaska Airline in May, a whole bunch of them Aug 7, and June 17-20, Apr 3.

I happens quite frequently, but unless you follow airline news, or you were personally impacted you would not necessarily know.
The inc article I linked to above has several examples of other days where SWA cancelled hundreds to a thousand flights at one time. But today has clearly dwarfed even the worst of the previous incidents.
Of course it's better to have them moving separately, otherwise somebody would move 12*n times the month to move n times the year, before discovering that the year also moves, if they'll ever discover it. However a better solution would be to show only the month and only the year in two separate screens. No surprises, no chances of using the UI inefficiently.

And for 12 months, you can show all of them together on the screen. Same for the years, you can show more than one at the same time and scroll many of them together.
It's crazy that airlines can't keep their internal tools working.
On the bright side that happened during a limited window in time in the early to mid 2000’s. It certainly hasn’t persisted and plenty of people mocked it back in the day as well.

At some point, bandwidth won't cost anything at all.

still, "more growth for company" and "more money for shareholders" can look identical from the perspective of the public or even an employee of the company, where all they see is "your interests are not important".

Uncapped growth is just as evil as unfettered greed - both charge forth without a second thought to externalities, while motivated to externalize as many costs as possible. So we end up with boiling oceans and rampant homelessness, because those are all "not our problem".
You have cause and effect backwards.

Born in ‘88. Haven’t had Facebook since 2010; Instagram since 2012; Twitter since 2017. Not on Reddit, only use Discord for voice calls with a couple friends while gaming.

My few friends are more or less the same way, but I’ve felt very isolated from my peers for a long time due to their passive relationship maintenance and growth through social media. All the ways I used to meet new people seem to be ineffective these days. I have developed a Youtube consumption problem and I suspect it’s because it gives me the hit a better social life would.

I hear sentiments like yours every now and then, but I’m sure not seeing a change myself. Most people seem to agree the platforms are bad, but also seem more addicted than ever.
Are you referring to how the US Surgeon General told everyone masks didn’t work or something else?
this is good advice, let me extrapolate to a simpler heuristic.

When landing at an airport when you know several connections are lost due to local issue with your airline, always get on the phone as soon as you get out of the aircraft. certainly call before heading to the kiosk and lining up for the lone agent to support you

Because, by the time the sole agent gets to listen to your issue, the next flight will be fully booked, and your hopes of getting out quickly will be gone.
Technically they would probably have to be dual citizens, or a citizen of one country and permanent resident of the other, to not break laws. And then they'd have to file taxes in both countries.

No idea if it's enforced, but if it were, it would probably be such a pain that people would just stop buying/building houses that straddle the border. Why complicate things unnecessarily with a house split between two countries when you can just buy a house that is (like most houses) entirely in one country?
At this point, I am convinced, all datetime inputs should be done with just text input. The moment I figured out I can click the text to enter numbers manually on my phone's timer, I never tried to scroll the stupid rolling thing to get to the correct time.

Uses of Cobalt:

Cobalt is used in many alloys & super alloys to make parts in aircraft engines, gas turbines, high-speed steels, corrosion-resistant alloys, and cemented carbides.

It is used in magnets and magnetic recording media.

It is also used as a catalyst for the petroleum and chemical industries.
Used as drying agents for paints and inks.

It is blue is majorly used by artists and is used by craft workers in porcelain, stained-glass pottery, enamel jeweller, and tiles.

The radioactive isotope, cobalt-60, is used in medical treatment and also to irradiate food. It is used in order to preserve the food and protect the consumer.

dont make me quote the whole article back to you

> Internal records showed that a bot had flagged the tweet, and that it received many “tattles” (what the system amusingly called reports from users). That triggered a manual review by a human who—despite the tweet showing actual CDC data—nevertheless labeled it “misleading.”

The language this article uses is inflammatory. There's a few points to make here, that its highly emotional on purpose. The use of the word tattles, the '—despite the tweet showing actual CDC data—nevertheless' phrasing adding in biased commentary.

Its also not totally clear, I think because its trying to create outrage, the review was triggered from the reports received. Which then just had some support staff label it. The initial reporting has nothing to do with government. And we don't know how the labeling works. This article makes a lot of leaps and dumps information.

Im done with this now, I really think you should step back and ask your self, if you are getting caught up in partisan articles like this, how can you really cut through the information being thrown around about more complex topics.

How about the modern physics engine for the real world? How much energy would it need to calculate all the effects of collisions of the "little" elastic bodies with infinite precision? And how fast would it need to be to calculate them in such a short period of time?

It's amazing to think about all the objects in the universe which collide, always according to the laws of physics, not requiring any cost/resource/energy to such computing loads, and reliably without any uncaught exceptions.

Edit: I meant the theoretical physics engine operating the real world.

Also, back in 1838, Charles Wheatstone reveales the secret of scratch-holograms, but he never followed up on it.

http://amasci.com/amateur/holowhtstn.txt

He did say that the 3D light-effect seen in lathe-turned metal plates led him to discover human stereopsis, to draw stereo pairs, ending up as the stereo camera and stereopticon.

So, that Stereopticon-path of research, it attracted Wheatstone away, and changed the history which mighta-been. We ALMOST had Victorian steampunk holography, a century before lasers existed.

Ever heard of the Rose-engine lathe?

Ever heard of a "ruling engine?" That's how diffraction gratings were made, back in the day. A similar sort of precision machine, equipped with some Jaquard-loom punchcards, could have been turning out giant scratch-hologram masters. (Then stamp out copies, just like vinyl or lac or wax records!)

Someone discovered it all, back in 1979. Built a joystick-controlled motorized scriber-machine. Produced some 3D artwork. Then died without releasing the secret.

1979? 1838? the big question is, did The Masons know about scratch holograms? Encoding secret messages in polished metal surfaces?

Gaze into the works of centuries-old silversmiths, held out under sunlight, see if some little "sandpaper marks" produce tiny words or pictures, floating down inside the metal ...unsuspected by all non-initiates!
> after the VP of operations out of Dallas sent a demanding (and possibly unreasonable) memo to the Denver staff banning sick time without a doctors note and requiring mandatory overtime

IANAL but that’s not just unreasonable, it’s downright illegal according to Colorado labor laws. Southwest can only ask their employees for a doctor’s note after four consecutive days of absence and that’s according to a post-COVID law.

I’m not sure about the mandatory overtime but that’s probably governed by a union contract (4/5ths of SW is unionized). Evidence shows that this ~moron~ VP didn’t know the specifics of the former so he probably fucked up the latter too.

I’m guessing Denver employees aren’t the only ones to walk out. Union solidarity, baby!

An expiring flight credit, which is perhaps less desirable than the cash you paid.

A few months ago, they monkeyed with our departure time, and we correctly concluded that it would end up missing the connecting flight. The booking agent couldn't give us anything but time-bomb vouchers, but I got cash by emailing customer support. I used the federal wording for "elected not to travel" and "substantially different itinerary," which may have helped me not have any issues.
