Condorcet methods are frequently more computationally complex. Schultz is O(n3) and RP is O(n4).

We must note the categorical aspect here. Ordinal is a class of voting, not a specific one. Condorcet is a class of ordinal methods (that optimize the condorcet criteria) but not a specific method. You're right that this isn't true for all methods but I'm mentioning these specific methods because they are the ones that are better and commonly discussed. Unfortunately we can't just look at one aspect of a voting method to rule it in or out.
You got value. You have a roof over your head and that money isn’t being burned up completely in rent. The problem is people want to enjoy having a nice house and a large return as well. There is no good coming our way from current asset owners pulling up the ladder to new home owners. Salaries cannot keep up with homeowners investment expectations.
My main complaint with the Settings screen is it it tries to squeeze everything into a vertical tower. I think it would be a lot better if we could make the screen bigger. It just feels so cramped on my Ultra Wide monitor.
I believe they have been out of compliance with ICANN and it might result in their TLDs being handed to another registrar
I’ve always took it as “the customer is always right in matters of taste”.

If customers keep asking for green shirts with red polka dots, you sell green shirts with red polka dots, even if you don’t like them.

At the end of the day, the only things that matter are those that you let influence your operational tempo. Unfortunately, a wartime organization that is able to accept a certain level of fatalities in a combat situation has trouble adapting the mentality of "the mission must get done" to a non-wartime footing. Because of the lower stakes for surface vessels, there is a higher chance that the time allocated to maintenance (whether thats fixing running rust, overhauling a piece of equipment, or ensuring crew are trained) is whatever is left in the schedule after their operational needs have been met. Unless a skipper is willing to bet their career on saying "I wont sail until these repairs are done, operational schedule be damned", its not going to change. At the end of the day, someone needs to be willing to say no, and deleverage the commitments. All the services are seeing the "do less with more attitude" creep into senior leadership's thinking, and its causing both human and material assets to be depleted. Its no wonder theres a human resources shortfall - the value proposition is just not what it used to be, and the level of burnout of sailors has only increased.
This seems to not be a substantive response to parent’s question about the settings screen.

Or do you mean that the settings screen is used by Apple to enable tracking/stalking its users? Do you mind clarifying?

They mortgage their houses for huge sums and then buy cheaper homes elsewhere and then fill it with multifamily amounts of people who trash the area (bc it wasn’t engineered for this many people) all while blocking it’s redevelopment. This is why San Francisco is a disgusting mess.
Like Mike Judge’s other office masterpiece, Silicon Valley, where the main characters literally drop a folder titled “Skunkworks Project” in front of the CEOs door.
Ug, no. I've always hated how Apple refuses to put a "go up to parent folder" button in Finder. Every workaround I've tried just sucks. I don't want to right click the title at the top, I don't want to use list view, I want a simple button. Windows, by comparison, shows the whole path and lets you click on any point on it, and also provides the button. There's other issues I have with Finder, but this one alone leaves me wishing for Explorer almost every time I use it.
This was a favorite of mine growing up. But I made the mistake of trying to watch it with my kids once, and behold, it had turned from showing the best of the Disney classic cartoons into running trailers for upcoming Disney movies.

Thanks for destroying that tradition, Disney Inc.
This has already been weaponized. I've been getting comment spam phishing attempts from Google service accounts and Google Docs linking to scripts like this: "REDACTED://script.google.com/macros/s/REDACTED/exec?sl=REDACTED&dn=REDACTED&t=moc&s=au&sec=s&"

I am not sure what the script does or how to analyze it without risking my account security.

> Only thing that comes to mind is wanting to keep all ebook prices below $10, but that doesn't make much sense.

For me (perhaps because I grew up with physical books) the perceived value of an e-book is much lower. The same way I would buy a daily newspaper on the way to work, but have never paid for a newspaper website. Or that I would routinely pay for a vinyl record album but have never paid for online music.

Something about the nature of electronic media reduces its perceived value compared to physical. Physical media I can hold. I can feel its weight. It is something real. There is a sense that I "own" it and that it cannot be taken away arbitrarily, or suddenly become unusable due to a technical fault or technological obsolesence.

I have an e-book reader but haven't bought any e-books over about $5.00. For anything asking $10 or more I still prefer physical copies.
> be explicit causes complexity to be foisted on the user

Depending on the user, this is a plus. For a system language is important to be pedantic and explicit at each corner. HOW MUCH is the question! but the point of experiments like this is see how much you can go and still keep the pain low!

P.D: "Complexity" can be good, but "Complicated" is what is to be avoided. I prefer to eat the complexity of Rust rules than the complications of debug a thread code...
Thanks for explaining the viewpoint of the HN moderation. I do understand your viewpoint. While I think that people should start raising their voice and expressing their thoughts and sentiments more directly to stop the current decline into hellhole, I do agree that an amicable discussion environment should be maintained. Ill follow the general format that everyone else at HN is using from this point on.
Not as broken as not having a file tree view or a file path being shown. You know, stuff since Windows 95 or KDE 1.0.

But yeah, quick preview, as nice as it is, was never a Windows thing, and i doubt it will ever be, as I assume Apple has some software parents for it as they have for several basic UX and software features.
You mentioned Ameritech, which reminded me of Amerispec:

> Where are the no new features upgrades? I don’t need new lipstick on the pig every year. I need it to work without regressions.

This is one area where free software really shines. I recently put aside a simple desktop I had put together myself from parts that I had used for nearly 20 years. Updated from one OS version to the next with no issues, no new features forced on me, no surprises. Things only changed when I decided to change them.

Only reason I finally ditched it a year or so ago is that technology has moved on and I want to try something new.
It could. It means that inflation / deflation will be linked to the wider EU economy and not responsive to the particular economic conditions of Croatia. This was a big deal in Greece when inflation would have helped their economy by boosting exports, but was impossible because of being tied to the much stronger economies of Western Europe.

There are some advantages to being on the Euro, but macroeonomically, it more benefits large stable countries (which then have an artificially depressed currency) like Germany and France.
NativeScript would prob suit them better.
Job prospects. I've been lucky enough that my passion for technology has paid off but that took nearly a decade of grinding in retail.
The meme is that by not having your own currency you have one less emergency measure available to you (devaluing your own currency).
Google only packages Chrome for Ubuntu (deb) officially. If you are not using Ubuntu, you are probably not using Chrome directly from Google. However, if you use flatpaks you might as well trust this one package from flathub since the trust model is the same.
In ecommerce we work with money in cents, as an integer. If he was catching pennies off FP rounding errors (as in OfficeSpace), then that is an easy red flag during code review.

But the more I think about it, he may have gotten around a code review somehow and pushed to prod (speculation).
Some years ago, someone here on HN was arguing in favor of "magic in the server room" -- as in "blood magic", not hackerdom. They claimed they felt persecuted by skepticism and if they were engaging in some kind of joke, they took it far enough to never accept it was a gag (and HN wouldn't be the place for it anyway).

If I remember correctly, it was someone reacting to one of Aphyr's "magic" articles (which are metaphor), taking them at face value and claiming they also did spells while working with computers.

Again, this was not a metaphor for hacking, but a claim of actual, Harry Potter style magic.
I, too, am against "running to doctors with the slightest symptoms or tiniest wounds" on the grounds that it seems like a form of hypochondria, and can produce something like a Denial of Service attack, especially at Emergency rooms. But I'll acknowledge that some 'small' indications are, with appropiate context, worth a consult.
Some games I'm looking for in 2023:

Game I'll keep playing in 2023:

Final Fantasy XIV, Fortnite
Immediately it depends on how the exchange rate was fixed, then it will incur rounding effects.

Longer term, Croatia will have lost control of its monetary policy but one would expect they reckon they'll gain more from the switch.
This has been my experience too. I wrote a text crdt last year which improved automerge’s (then) 5 minute runtime. My code currently takes 6ms to do the same work.

Automerge’s design assumed this stuff would always be slow, so they had this whole frontend / backend code split so they could put the expensive operations on worker threads. Good optimizations in the right places make all that complexity unnecessary. The new automerge is shaping up to be simpler as well as faster.
> Is the ICO is an illegal confidence scam because … the issuers were criminals?

The causality works the other direction.

> Assume a non-criminal company …

Yes if you assume a normal and legal thing (a legal corporate bond) was in fact another thing (an ICO token) then it would be legal.

Much in the way that if you took a Honda Civic and modified it sufficiently that it could fly it would be an aircraft. Until I see someone do that a Honda Civic is a compact car.
Yeah, good points. #3, "tag cloud" idea is great, and lends itself to view by tag.

I'm coming at it from the direction, where I see the primary action as "collecting" / "cultivating". Ex.

1. See an article you like

2. add it to bookmarks/instantiate the global bookmark

3. curate it a bit - add an archive link, some tags, link to related article

and then the reward is

4. get notified when someone else bookmarks it + comments, a week or a month later

so the inversion is - on HN/reddit, something gets posted once and there's a big discussion and it disappears. this is the opposite where the page grows over time

How did your project turn out?
Before adopting the Euro, countries spend some amount of time in the ERM (Exchange Rate Mechanisms) where the currency is pegged to the Euro. Thus, the actual switch is just a note swap, the actual advantages and disadvantages are already there.

The real issue is they lose the ability to issue debts in their own currency and whether that's good or bad depends hugely on individual counties. It has worked well for some, not for others.
As much as I hate the word: networking and saying yes when you're in the right time and right place.

You probably won't convince a professional widget manufacturer that you're __the__ person for their embedded needs. But a smaller company, that's dipping their toes into branching out from their core business who need to prototype their idea? A lot easier.

> a shitty startup (though, successful enough to bootatrap me out of parents' nest)

That's a successful startup.
Most endpoint protection systems typically use a combination of looking at known hashes or bad things and active process monitoring to identify new bad things. They're not perfect, and have varying levels of success. It is better than nothing.

I can't speak to Symantec, but I've worked for companies that provide endpoint protection and watched a live demo of novel "malware" getting caught escalating privileges.
I don't agree, and I have worked with this significantly as a consultant and core contributor to react-native. What typically happens is people convince themselves what you are saying is true then there ends up being huge delays to spin up all the infra app side... THEN eventually, they kinda are okay. until the next react-native release.

edit: would like to clarify that of course I would recommend better ways... but... clients do as clients do.
The central fact seems to be the one the CDC highlighted a while back: there's no good research showing that opiod pain medications help, even with pain, over the longer term (over 30 days, say.)

That's my experience: we don't have accurate memories for exact quantities of pain, but I'm "fortunate" enough to have an excellent litmus test: whether I can get to sleep within two hours. By that measure opiods have no positive effects for me that last more than 30 days. Zero.
It’s not actually a problem though.
>> “The thought that Mars was red did not enter his mind”.

Not sure about that. It was assumed to be red since 400BC [1]. One needs only to look at it without the aid of a telescope to jump to the conclusion that it might be red.

I'm not following. What are some specific sacrifices we have to make for the sake of the five percent?
> But in the end, I'm not so sure if it really matters all that much when discussing contemporary issues in e.g. the US or Europe.

Of course it matters. Even if we only consider those who seemingly have no concern at all for the plight of oppressed people outside of their own society - it's a natural experiment that lets us witness the real, actual consequences of structural racism in their purest form, and over the very long run (a time-span of several centuries in fact). Which is kinda important when you attach so much relevance to it as a causal factor. It lets us compare and contrast outcomes, and find out whether other things might also be relevant.
I switched to Geometric Weather and so far I'm happy with it.

Yo; I'm in raleigh. Sort of similar? Some items get there in 2 days; some take up to a week, and you generally know when you order. Maybe it has to do with the distro center?
That’s interesting. Where I grew up in central Ohio, we had a whole year of “Ohio history” in, I think, 4th grade. We spent a ton of time on the Ohio mound builders and even took a class trip to see the mounds.

In Spotlight, holding down Cmd for a second will reveal the path of a selected file/app.

In Finder, you can show the "path bar" via Cmd-Opt-P (or View > Show Path Bar), which will show the path of selected files in any Finder window, including searches: https://i.imgur.com/jXWYEnQ.png

One final tip: Cmd-Opt-C in Finder will copy the pathname of a selected file. Sadly this does not work in file select sheets.
combining RN and RNW is a pain in practice. It can be done, but not easily.
I sort of agree. Explorer is weird, half-baked. The side bar doesn't work 100%, no tags, loading icons is sloooooow, it doesn't auto-update. It tries to be the Finder and the old Explorer at the same time, but I'm not convinced by the result. And the properties dialog might have been new in 2002, but it's antiquated by now. I can get work done with it, though. It's not horrible (like those old Gnome file managers).
My big problem is my Mac now doesn't remember which screen my windows are on after a sleep.

Most of them, sure, but there is often a several minute session of moving things to where they're supposed to be.

Only me?
Very nice collection. Not for me unfortunately, but still great! I'd love to see more international and compnies from other countries listed in the future!
Two solutions:

1) Cmd + Up

2) View > Show Path Bar
Do those 5% vote in each and every primary election ?
Eh. Not sure I agree, unless you mean taking a non-native already made react bit and try to turn it into RN.. that is far harder and does require lots of money.

too many people don't realize just how non-portable react code can be.
True, that does work for traits. But it's super annoying if you have to write multiple copies of the same thing. That can get out of control quick if you need to implement every combination.

And that doesn't help at all if you're writing a "free function" like 3D primitive intersection functions. I suppose you could change that simple function into a generic function that takes AsDeref? Bleh.
Finder is terrible compared to Explorer, it is insanely unreliable. Often the VFS will get completely broken and claim that files don't exist when you try to open them, fail to allow renaming or opening files on network shares, etc. It's also dog slow. It's abysmally slow at generating file thumbnails especially when files are changing due to some other process. Often quicklook will get completely locked up and require kill-9'ing before thumbnails will appear again. It has other weird bugs like not showing thumbnails for search results in some cases eg. on network shares.

Finder has some nice features compared to Explorer but the actual quality of its coding seems to be terrible for what is probably the most important piece of userspace software on one of the 2 main commercial desktop OSs in existence.
Well, in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, they had a bit of a revolution on the moon and started throwing rocks. Having the power generators situated on earth would keep that scenario at bay.
ah i see, well you cannot mix up his music and acting careers. his music career is usually perceived as funny and liking it as a bit ironic, that does not mean that his roles in knight rider and baywatch are not truly loved by many. Just play the opening scene of knight rider at a random party of 30 somethings and you will see the reaction.
This is an odd sentiment that I don’t have a counter argument for other than the beautiful UI of the app shown is worth hosting alone.
You said: "That sounds insanely slow."

Anti-up.
Yes but this is very different to how it has always been in the past.

If you wanted to avoid the window sticking in the past you could hold the option key while you dragged the window, making it less sticky seems kind of strange.
> Interacting directly with my customers also helps

That does help a LOT. Interacting with actual people who are going to use the software puts everything into perspective like nothing else can. It doesnt matter whether those people are end-user customers or stakeholders inside the organization or another team. People make it worthwhile.
Nothing, it just has the name for historic reasons.
When Avie Tevanian was still at Apple, every version of MacOS got better: Not just more features, but fewer bugs, better performance etc. Now it seems like you get a visual refresh, a handful of minor features, along with a host of bugs that spend the next year getting fixed until the next release and the cycle repeats.
Borg. Very close to restic and you can configure the other side to limit the access to only adding new backups, so having an SSH key without a passphrase is ok in most situations.
>maybe species bias

I would go with species bias. Strongmen and bullshitters have risen up in every age and caused general issues with humanity when it turns out that 'making shit up' only goes so far before cold hand of reality slaps you down. It doesn't help that while physical laws are stable and universal, they are built on models of randomness and probabilities that don't give humans the comfort of 'a sure thing'.
I've noticed more minor UI bugs than usual, but what's really glaring to me is system stability.

I'm not sure of the cause, but I've seen Mission Control and the Dock randomly freeze/crash in some weird state and make the system completely unusable, or for some memory leak (I think) to just randomly cause the system to slow to a crawl even with all Apps killed and necessitate restarts much more often than reasonably necessary. In the past I've gone months between restarts, but now I can't go more than a week or so.

What I'd really like to see is a slower operating system development cycle. There's no reason that we need brand new operating systems every year. There should be a minimum 2 full years between releases, taking the time to plan out the UI really well and create rock-solid features and kill almost all bugs. I used to be so excited for new MacOS versions and now I've come to dread them.

That said, I'd still rather deal with Mac's relatively minor problems than the total shitstorm that my Windows box always is.
I really miss the days of a rock solid release every ~4ish~ 3ish years - when it was ready.

This treadmill yearly release cycle of half finished OS's released not because it was a good collection of well built features ready to be released, rather released because it was time for a release, have done nothing but tarnish the OS.

It's still the best UNIX desktop, end of story. The difference between macOS and Windows though isn't as big as it was when I switched 20 years ago, and most of the gap was closed by macOS getting worse and not by Windows getting better. In the current state, given the existence and relative decent usability of WSL2, given the choice today rather than twenty years ago, I may have never switched.

The thing that really gets me is just reliability. In the early aughts when I asked macOS to do something there was no question, it would work. That was the excuse for having far less verbose output of what's happening. You didn't need it because everything worked. Now we still have total lack of output of what's happening, and things just fail silently all the time. It's become a very frustrating OS to try to love.
