Thank you both for this note. It helps me remember to practice skepticism in all things.

I believe I still identify strongly with the article and I believe that it is easy for consumers like me to forget that my purchasing actions have many consequences like children and people getting sick because of the plastic waste burning as a result of a recycling program that is largely bs.

But that doesn’t mean I am right, and I feel that it is quite important for me to realize that my sources of information are largely imperfect, often with huge biases present in them.
> and that radical difference is generally that women are a permanent lower caste, and are victims of violence far more than they are perpetrators of violence

Aren't the females of almost every first world demographic objectively better off than males in many metrics?

They experience longer life, less violence, more social services, better education, more bursaries, less injuries at work, higher median income amongst the entire population, lower sentences for crime ... and more?

Are those metrics not important?

> a historical text claiming X is evidence for X

Gospels are not historical texts. They are religious literature. They present zero evidence of the facts they narrate.
I don't need evidence to the contrary because I'm not making any claim. I'm simply doubting the folklore claim (made without evidence) that Vim is technically superior / more efficient in practice. I'm not trying to convince anyone (and indeed I don't believe) that Vim is worse than other editors. But I don't see any reason to believe it is better either, and people merely repeating that claim isn't going to change my mind.
I've sold my self as a troubleshooter before, but that only got me into positions were I was maintaining old tech. Especially things others had no idea how/why it did work.

I still find my self in these situations, but not as much like before since I stopped using troubleshooter. But your miles may vary :)
Understandable. Thank you :)
> If I want Ctrl+P to paste text across every single application that accepts text and I only have to configure it once in one place, I see that as a win.

Ok, so let's say I write a video game. Should my game have reasonable defaults, or should it ask you to go to your system-wide settings and setup all the bindings for my game? For instance, I have a "jump" action. Can I bind it to the spacebar, or should I go check in your system settings what you have assigned to "jump"? What if you have not assigned anything to "jump", should I choose a free shortcut somehow (say using the first available from a list like [spacebar, j, right-shift]) or should I ask the player to go setup the bindings first?

Say people are happy having exactly one configuration for all their programs. What if my game has special controls, and instead of using "awsd" to move, I would like to use "qweasd", but "q" is generally assigned to "quit". Should I give up on having a reasonable UX using the keyboard (because the system-wide shortcuts don't work for my game) and sell my game with an external controller then?

That's the whole thing with standards. It's perfect if you want to do exactly what the standard specifies. It's terrible if you don't. Freedom generally doesn't go well with standard, and somehow it feels like a tradeoff: macOS has a better user experience than linux, at the cost of some freedom. And that's perfectly fine IMO: I don't expect macOS to give me more freedom, or Linux to give me a macOS UX. I just choose between them.
You may trust them to produce legit software and have good intentions. But it's not really enough - It's hard to use reputation to divine someone's proficiency and diligence in operating a web server without getting it pwned and the published trojaned. Several dimensions of risk / trust are relevant here, and the distribution mechanism can address some of the opsec risks in a way that is transparent to the end user (you).

A platform like PyPI also increases chances of something like that getting detected after it happens, giving you a chance to react in a timely way.

Their ground will also start to disappear as sea levels rise. So there are up sides and down sides for them.

Now consider the southern USA. They will also lose land as sea levels rise. And the same changes that make Norway more fertile and liveable make them less fertile and liveable.

So the overall affect is:

* Bad for everyone on average

* Bad for most people because they picked the best places/ways to live (often costal ones) under the old model and invested in those and now will have to move/change all that

I think we're about to see the current populous/rich areas realise they're fucked, and smaller colder places are the new them. How will the US feel when the corn belt moves north of the US-Canada border and it has to import food?

> Misusing our glorified virtual line-printers should be finally replaced with something that acknowledges our current reality (which is: HW based on pixel framebuffers)

A local PC or phone may be your only experience but it is far from the current reality in computers. most computers these days are embedded devices or remote servers, neither of which have pixel framebuffers, or even "video displays". Heck, even inside your PC are computers that only have serial connections: I once had a flaky consumer-grade hard drive that required me to hook up a serial line to its control console from time to time and issue text commands to clear its error buffer (not buying a Seagate ever again).

In the end our hardware gets its input from sensors, operates actuators, and performs arithmetic transformations from its input to its output. A very few of those actuators result in coloured blobs on a large LED matrix. Don't get confused with that as a single universal use of computers.

My guess (never worked with DAT) is what they have them in audio format, not DDS, which is digital but...

Judging on some cursory search[0] the only way to transfer the audio is to hook the drive through S/PDIF and play the whole tape. Looks like the ability to treat audio as the data (similar to the way we can treat AudioCDs as just a data disk filled with PCM) is rare and not quite the official [1]

>but at least in my experience, when opening a bank account in person, they do diligent checks

Most banks don't even have UV lights, not that fake IDs don't usually have decent UV markings anyway. Hardly very diligent.

>for non-German cards they even have a database how different nations' ID cards should look like and what the security markings are.

As do essentially all banks in the world, doesn't save you though. Many European IDs (Romanian, Greek for example) do not have any meaningful security features, Romanian IDs can look completely different depending on which day and which city they're printed in and there's no reference guide for this.

Even a good enough German fake won't cost much https://telegra.ph/ID-Cloning-Only-12-17 The hologram isn't perfect, but that'll work at any bank.

>Video-Ident aka holding your ID card into your webcam is indeed vulnerable, and banks like N26 got in really hot water, which forced them to ramp up their anti-fraud measures to a degree even legitimate customers got massively impacted [1].

Pretty much any fake ID that'll pass Video-Ident will generally work at the bank too.

>The classic scams are the majority, and yet even these they yield the scammers only something like 13 million euros a year [2], that's laughable compared to the amount Americans lose, even if one assumes that only a tenth of the cases gets reported at all.

This is totally wrong, there are individual people running car-selling scams on mobile.de netting more than that.

>And again: entire classes of scams like "I got arrested and need bail money" or "I was involved in a traffic accident and need to pay the hospital cash advance for treatment" don't work here because we don't have cash bail or bills from hospitals and people know that. If you would try this scam on any European, they'd laugh you off because they know that this doesn't exist.

Those scams are common in the US and UK, but they only make up a small part of the $ losses. The bulk of the losses comes in the form of people losing all of their savings as their bank account is emptied.

Non-notched screen is cheaper.

Headphone jack is a minuscule cost (you still need the DAC for the speakers).

There are now magnetically attached Bluetooth devices that provide a headphone jack to an iPhone and make twice as thick.

This showcases perfectly that there is a market for an iPhone with a jack, but Apple has the power to decide for everyone.

A user has the options:

- use an old phone(for how long?)

- sacrifice the jack and stay on iOS (give up)

- sacrifice iOS, repurchase all apps (are they available? alternatives?) and other purchases, and find some phone that still has it (gradually all flagships other than Sony dropped it)

This is not a free market, it is a market with plenty of obstacles to entry (some natural some imposed).

And the following of fashion trends (mostly follow Apple) make the situation doubly toxic.

In a captive market it is sufficient for one player to demonstrate the market will accept a worse offer and other players will follow through.

This may sound like blasphemy, but capitalism is actually not compatible with the free market.
If you're bringing up the question of what causes global climate change in response to an article that is pretty narrowly focused on local climate change in Norway, a lot of people will assume that you know that global climate change is generally understood to be caused by human behavior, but are looking for ways to cast doubt on that fact without actually arguing the point.

TLS validation is enforced in all mobile applications unless you have spyware/malware which would use insecure CAs or self-signed certificates. Please see my comment above https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34159195 All standard mobile clients do TLS validation. They just can't be MiTMed by anyone using self-signed certificates/CAs which is how most mitm tools work (e.g. mitmproxy) Do you have any examples of apps not doing TLS validation?

I am really surprised to see this misconception.

Well that is alright, we should all make decisions based upon our own threat models. It is just that in that case you are also at no risk with public WiFis unless you are sincerely looking for a fully secure alternative.

The NY Times does this kind of "presentation story" all over. I rarely read more than the first few captions, because I can't stand the continuous scroll format - it reduces the rate I can absorb the information in such articles by a factor of 4 or more, and increases the work required to get it (particular on the eyes, because reading text scrolling over pictures is hard eye work). I hate 'em. Give me text, charts and graphs, with pictures if they actually add something to the information in your story.

I suppose this is an unpopular opinion, but when I am old or if I have a severe incurable disease, I want to choose how I die. And if a doctor has the grace to give me a dignified death, I do not want them to be prosecuted for it or to have to do it in secrecy (as medics already do).

Whether it's a slippery slope or not, I think it is progressive not to gatekeep medically assisted suicide too much. Modern medicine should offer a choice for each individual - to live or to die, not a prescription to live through suffering and pain at an immense economic and societal cost. Death is a normal, natural part of life that will come for all of us. The amount of suffering before death should be each person's choice.
Still no historical weather data.
Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
A few hours ago I commented in a thread that it irks me how we 'put up' with all the bad initial ux and quirks of editors like vim simply because nobody has improved over its big feature (modal editing).

Thinking about it, I'm wondering: What would be the best way to start tackling this problem?

To clarify, I don't want to deal with rewriting the hundreds of features that real life editors have to handle, from file management through text encodings to syntax highlighting. Those are completely ortogonal to the problem I'd like to tackle, which is the interaction itself.

I want to start with some sort of baseline with all those features covered, on top of which to build experimental interactions and see what novel or improved ideas I can come up with.

Should I fork a project like vscode and start there? use a simpler minimalistic non-mainstream alternative? learn emacs in depth and use that as a baseline?
You can have your C/C++ code exposed to Free Pascal via a C API loadable as a shared library / DLL, but beyond that there isn't much you can do (Free Pascal comes with a `h2pas` tool to help convert C headers to Free Pascal units for such use).

This is of course far from having something like C++ Builder.

To have something like C++ Builder it'd need a lot of things to work together:

1. A C++ compiler will need to be extended so it can use Free Pascal classes (in terms of memory layout) and add any necessary language functionality for "published" sections (RTTI data that allows FPC objects to describe themselves and be streamed/serialized), metaclasses (classes in FPC are objects and can have their own virtual methods, including virtual constructors), delegates (basically "fat" pointers) as well as data types like sets, strings, etc that FPC has. LCL (Lazarus' framework) relies heavily on pretty much all of FPC features.

2. FPC will need to somehow be able to import classes defined on the C++ side too so that components written in C++ will be usable in Lazarus. Also almost goes without saying but it should be possible to statically link programs using both FPC and C++ in the same executable.

3. The C and C++ runtime libraries will need to use FPC runtime library functionality for things like memory management (FPC's memory manager is pluggable) so that "crossing" memory management will work fine - even across dynamic library boundaries (e.g. calling `malloc` on the C++ side and then "FreeMem" on the Free Pascal side, even when the latter is in a dynamic library that shares a memory manager with the host program, should Just Work).

4. Lazarus' "codetools" will need to be expanded to support parsing C++ in addition to Free Pascal so that all of the IDE's automatic code writing and refactoring functionality will work for C++ too - things as simple as double clicking on a button and having the methods be written automatically in the editor with the cursor placed in the method body rely on this working.

These are from the top of my head, there might be other issues to handle, but even from the above it should be clear that it requires not only a lot of work but also a lot of different projects to work together (unless FPC and/or Lazarus devs decide to implement their own C++ compiler and runtime).

In the short term it might be easier to use Qt Creator which has some RAD-ish features. It is certainly clunkier, the API feels to be made with a code-first (as opposed to LCL's WYSIWYG-designer-first) approach and the IDE isn't as featureful (also at least for me it never works out of the box on Linux) but it is the closest open source project you can find for C++.

IDK why people are complaining. For me the biggest issue is shared chargers which were solved with USB-C->Lighting. USB-C is a mess of what cable to does what. The biggest problem with lightening isn't the connector, but slow data speeds. That's why it made sense to move the iPads. Though now with iPhones taking 4k+ video, they need to move them also.

But, IMO, from a cable and connector standpoint, USB-C is worse than Lighting.
>The problem is that a lack of genuine acceptance of trans identities (i.e. that trans men are men, and trans women are women) inevitably leads to trans people _not_ being treated the way they want to be treated.

This is an interesting one.

I definitely find being told I have to accept that "trans women are women" off putting and like the Aesop's fable with the wind and the sun, it feels like the wind blowing and makes me want to hold on to that jacket tighter.

The way I see it, trans women are trans women, and trans men are trans men. They occupy a different category in my mind than either.

I'm trying to imagine how I would feel going to either bathroom as a trans person, and the only answer I can come up with is "riddled with anxiety".
