AudioContext latency information can be retrieved without the user's consent or knowledge on websites that never ever use audio. It's a security disaster. I know for a fact that AudioContext is routinely abused on ad networks and by anti-fraud solution providers. Given its widespread use for purposes it wasn't designed for (in fact, this information is used primarily for tracking and spying), it's safe to say it's a tracking scheme.

The fact Google directly and knowingly benefits financially is a smoking gun. They don't give a damn it's not a secure -- in fact they profit on the fact it's a leaky sieve.

You said AudioContext is sometimes used for purposes which benefit the user. Well isn't that swell, the user is maliciously tracked by this security exploit 99% of the time and gets to reap the "benefits" 1% of the time.

I agree with his expectation that economic growth will be very slow. More importantly, there's a savings glut: A high savings rate in Asia (China in particular) caused real interest rates to become permanently negative. Some of that money spilled over into the stock market where P/E ratios are still very high. Expect stock market returns to be very poor over the next couple of decades.
Apple exposes these behind APIs that hide these implementation details. Their own compilers never emit them. Nothing can stop you from embedding them into your binary yourself, of course, but this would be annoying to both you and Apple.
A century before the US was even a thought the U.K. used “DayName, Month, DayNumber, Year” - E.g “Monday Septemp 10, 1666”, in newspapers - the london gazette for example.

This was still the case 100 years later when the Times started in 1778, and even remains the same today.

That the US uses the Month Day Year form understandably flows from that, the difference being that instead of writing “July 4 1776” the July was changed to a number for brevity, hence “07 04 1776”

It’s that number change that seems unique and confusing as it changes from three unambiguous numbers to two identical numbers that could be either way round.
It's "possible" presumably only in the sense in which one can assign a True/False value to any proposition.

I guess one could see a logic as deciding if a set of propositions is inconsistent. And one could imagine a "trivial logic" which says "Yes" for any set, consistent?(props | logic) = Yes.

Then as we add more structure to the logic, more sets become inconsistent: consistent?(CountableReals | LawExMiddle) = No.

What value is there to saying the reals are "possibly" countable when it seems we're basically enforcing no consistency in the set of propositions which would constitute a "proof" of such a thing?

Near the end, the video mentions his (old) computer "apparently can't take 'high density' memory".

Then the author goes through a process of randomly buying memory and hoping it works.

Anyone know what that "high density" memory problem is about? Maybe it's a misunderstanding of memory channels and ranks?

Start from investing every month set amount of money into ETFs.

As you are from Europe, one of the best to start, would be Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF, or in short WVCE. I am mostly investing into it for my retirement.

If you want to feel the market more, you can buy some individual stocks, starting from blue chip ones, or if you want to gamble a bit more, you can take a look at crypto or small cap stocks.

As for platforms/brokers, there are couple of most popular in Europe: Degiro or IBKR. I myself use IBKR for stocks and ETFs.

Plenty of good advice already regarding index funds and pensions, so I'll add: land is a finite resource, so buying some for yourself is unlikely to be a bad move. In most cases this will just be a house, but don't be afraid to think more broadly than that - particularly if it can also be a hobby, like buying some cheap derelict land to re-wild or grow trees on. Not going to deliver the same financial return as the S&P 500, but probably more interesting.

Couldn’t disagree more - I think those differences are primarily the result of socialisation, and dare I say it, socialisation historically designed to make females subordinate to male interests ie to be sexually desirable, good mothers, good housewives and good carers.

If you consider a definition of feminine (prettiness, gracefulness, gentleness, empathy, humility, and sensitivity) it’s not someone who acts to make their mark on the world as a man might - it’s someone who at best achieves that by supporting a masculine partner. What a terrible vision of the world that is, and what an incredible waste of individual human talent.

“early 20s” means cost dollar averaging makes timing the market irrelevant. He doesn’t have enough cash on hand to make doing anything complicated worth the effort for minimal gain.

At that age, 100% in a ultra low cost index fund using whatever maximizes tax advantages. Just be aware 401k etc programs often have penalties for early withdrawal so don’t put all your savings in such programs because life happens.

PS: 10 years from retirement having money in bonds can be a good hedge, but when your decades from retirement a dip in the market just means the next few paychecks gets invested in a low which is the entire point of using bonds and rebalancing a portfolio.
I’d argue it’s man against nature in its rawest form. Many sci fi films try to use this as a plot point (“I know the math, punch it” in Iron man for example), but GATTACA handles it head on - the protagonist battling what’s supposedly his nature given limitations is what I would consider the main if not only quality that makes man “not natural” more so than even any artificial intelligence we may create tomorrow.

Hi all.

This is a book that was in contract to be published but the publisher pulled out, so we are going to try to self publish it (never done this before, we'll see how it goes.)

It is in somewhat rough shape because we are redoing the book with a more conceptual bend than the publisher wanted: there are some repetitive sections due to re-arranging, typos and areas that need to be expanded, but the rough outline is about what we want and much of the content is pretty solid.

The book looks at hypermedia conceptually, then htmx for hypermedia-driven web applications, then HyperView for hypermedia-driven mobile applications.

We the authors all agreed to keep the online version available for free forever.

Hope people find it useful and interesting.

It's lovely how he shifted focus in the latter part of his career to high-resolution nature photography. Some of them are suitably "psychedelic" - though sadly it seems only the thumbnails were archived, so I couldn't view the full-size images.
Not a native speaker, but I feel the distinction between “these are …” and “all I want is these …”. In the first case the verb works (for me) with the pronoun’s own plurality, but in the second case “all” accumulates an inanimate multitude into a singular set.

Does English have a special rule? English.SE doesn’t seem to have a clear answer for this.
Very good advice IMHO.

What I find more riduculous than the Wickard v. Filburn case is the fact that it was partially overturned by a gun case.

> Possession of a handgun near a school is not an economic activity and doesn't have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, and therefore cannot be regulated by Congress. The Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 is unconstitutional.

And even more riduculous is the fact that certain justices dissented on this opinion.

Of course it’s all heavily politicized, but the federal government really loves milking the commerce clause ad absurdum.
What's the benefit in keeping three year old milk? There is no way a malicious government or supermarket can keep that up, at some point they are going to run out of storage.

The other reason is that expired food is often still edible but not legal to sell and these programs are about reducing waste, not about giving free food to the homeless. If you give fresh food away what are you going to do about the waste?

If you think this is some conspiracy against the homeless you should remember that many countries have unemployment or low income benefits that also apply to homeless people which give them the ability to buy food.

No, I did it and there is a big stink about us showing up in Boulder or Denver in large numbers and driving up the price of real estate enough to know we are persona non-grata amongst 'natives'--which is to say those who moved there in the late 90s or early 2000s and reaped the most benefits from said real estate spikes. It's a trope, and if you lived there or spent time there you'd know that.

I personally moved back to EU, after living in various countries for four years, and was way better received than most of the US--I'm Californian and lived in HI and CO. Granted, I was well welcomed by my local community in the startup World, but outside of that it was clear you were the scapegoat for all that was going wrong.

Personally I think the crux is that housing is less constrained in the EU and lower salaries keep things from getting completely out of hand, and their aging population coupled with significant Covid deaths meant their was an excess in vacancy and several of them sought to attract digital nomads (albeit with lengthy and tiresome processes) with attractive visa programs in order to cash in the WFH diaspora.

Be sure to watch the director's cut with that one.

The original theater version has an opening narrative (added by the producers) which spoils much if the plot.
Nope: the web application bit is based on htmx, which is a stand-alone JS library.

To build a mobile hypermedia client (which is what Hyperview is) is a massive effort and building it on top of something like React Native makes a lot of sense. What matters isn't the underlying implementation details, but rather the hypermedia system (client, hypermedia format, etc.) that HyperView gives you.

I'm not sure how much it actually helped.
Customer support is really poor for a big chunk of those companies (I'm thinking Google, Facebook, not Apple or Amazon).

People also got the concept of emails quite easily way before gmail existed or hotmail was popular. I don't think having a lot of providers was much of an issue. A lot of people still use providers which are not as big as google or hotmail, at least where I live.

So I wonder if centralization was really something that helped people that much or it was more of a business strategy that was efficient for quick growth and that is the reason we are in this situation.

I think you're getting downvoted because you seem to endorse the most parasitic form of capitalism.

First off: it's not a company's responsibility to increase shareholder profit. It very much depends on the view of the people involved. But you're completely right when you think that greedy people can push in that direction and that a legal framework is the only way to keep that in check and make sure companies pay their dues to society. Social democracy still seems the only way to strike a proper balance between exploitation and lack of incentive.
Index funds, mainly S&P500 (or SXR8 to be exact). My investment horizon is ~25 years away. I also have some investments in other index funds that follow areas I am interested in or understand.

I own a handful of companies stock directly - only ones I actually understand and ones that are always needed. Banks, infrastructure companies, grocery chains and the like. People will always need a place to store their money and get water, food and electricity.

It's statistically better to buy a small amount of stocks 12 times a year than one HUGE bundle once a year. That way the value fluctuations will even out in time.
In React:

- Provided it is not an offline-first app, move as much state handling as possible out of the frontend

- use SWR or React Query for server state

- Keep pagination, filters, and other such options in your URL

- Hold state as local as possible. Only ever move state up if two or more branches of the tree need to be synchronised.

- Pass information down through props. That is what they are for. A little “prop drilling” is fine.

- Use CSS custom properties for theming

This gets you >95% of the way with very little complexity.

For the leftover pieces of global state like ‘isSidebarVisible’ I like Zustand because it is tiny both in bytes and concept.

I don’t like to use Context for state management because it litters the top-level with providers and causes unnecessary rerenders.

Avoid a single global store at all costs.

All that is scriptable. I ran thousands of FreeBSD machines. When you get a new one, you run the script that sets up users, pulls the source, builds the custom kernel, installs the packages, etc. A little bit of automation goes a long way. (make world is a reasonable, although not particularly comprehensive, burn-in test too, but if you were in a hurry, you could build in one place and distribute)

My own experience is the polar opposite to this.

I’m not an egg-etarian, but I love eggs, tofu and mushrooms so much that I got this diet, too!

Put differently: Only eat veggies + protein. Protein with the above is e.g. eggs, tofu, mushrooms, but can also be cottage cheese, chicken, protein powder.

No bread, pasta, noodles, heavy sauces, carb-y dressings. It’s all about the veggies.

I like to steam veggies, it’s both fast and easy and preserves the nutrients while making them more digestible.
Yeah, certain is definitely a poor choice of words.

“I doubt economic growth over the next 100 years will be as high as it was over the past 100.” is what I should have said.

Show HN: A modified macOS ls that supports –group-directories-first
I finally got tired of not having directories first on macOS, and - for me - something like exa <https://the.exa.website/> was overkill. So I dug into the source code, hunted down the missing BSD-licensed headers, figured out how to work around the APSL headers, and smoothed out the rough edges.

Very much a personal itch-scratching exercise and only a couple hours worth of work, but maybe it'll be useful for someone else.
You're right, and this was unfortunate. However, I think this is closely related to the nature of modern online discussions where this kind of oversensitivity to perceived "hostile" information is met with an unreasonably forceful response by either side.

First of all the neutral facts: all the major Western vaccines were immensely helpful to soften the impact of COVID on our societies. Some turned out better than others, mRNA vaccines proved to be the major breakthrough that scientists expected. None of the vaccines are without issues (blood clots, myocarditis etc.) but they are significantly better than the consequences of millions of unprepared COVID infections without prior immunization (Long COVID/Post-Viral Syndrome, long-term hospital stays, death, overwhelmed healthcare systems...).

Some folks and especially health institutions were calmly discussing and weighing benefits vs. costs and risk. But on the public side, online discussions once again moved into opposing "teams" which seemingly happens to a lot of political/culture war discussions:

- Team A were staunch supporters of getting everyone everywhere immediately vaxxed with no room left for discussion at all, not even on the scientific level

- Team B was spreading misinformation to spread unfounded fear and hate against the vaccines based on insane conspirational theories and easily dismissed bullshit information

- Team C was the rather silent but very large majority that was rather supportive of the vaccines but just kind of apathetic, never really getting into heated discussions about it online or offline, just doing whatever needed to be done.

While A and B represent the extremes, what's interesting to me about Team B is that it appeared as a minority in the population when actually looking at polls or protests [1]. But online they were way louder, amplified actually, to a degree that is really notable. And this is, in my view, often the case in online discussions.

I think it's also safe to say the opponents (Team B) were not rarely fueled by foreign agents to further instigate the culture wars in both Europe and the US, thereby politically weakening and destabilizing the countries from within. At the same time I wouldn't be surprised if the very strong supporters were influenced just as much because in order to fuel a divide you may need to prop up both sides.
