- AFAIK, it's usually the toolkits that do the scaling. So, it's indeed possible that very old apps, if they're still using old versions of the toolkits, don't support scaling. They'll appear non-scaled, so "at 100%".

- I don't have a 4k display on a laptop so can't comment on battery life. But for "desktop use" (read: non gaming) GPU performance has been fine for a long time. I have an old desktop at work with a 4th gen i5 and whatever the integrated GPU was at the time. It can drive a 4k panel at 60 Hz just fine. A somewhat newer laptop, 8th gen i5 with a uhd620 integrated GPU could drive its internal FHD panel and an external UHD display without any issue.

- For your eyes comment: the small fonts may be illegible because they're blurry. On FHD screens, I've found that bitmap fonts are much more legible at small sizes. I've seen some Dell with a 4k display at work, probably 15", and the small text was much more legible than on my 14" FHD laptop (compared using Windows 11 - the guy was a Windows dev).

- TV has a blurriness to its movement, so it looks smooth enough because it's never actually sharp. The point of higher refresh rates is not "flickering", but a smooth movement. Try reading a scrolling page on a 30 Hz, 60 Hz, 120 Hz screen. I mostly look at static text on my screens, so 60 Hz works well enough for me, and I prefer higher resolution / better colors to higher refresh rates. Don't know how this affects GPU usage, though I don't expect it to be "free".

No, they scrambled F-16's I believe and were given orders to engage compromised aircraft, but they didn't shoot any down. 3 of the 4 planes crashed into buildings and 1 crashed in a field as the passengers attempted to retain control of the aircraft.

What sort of company do you work at where you can't prod your users to upgrade their browsers? Surely this is a security risk. I'm at a company of 100k employees and our small team has no problem telling users they need to upgrade.
Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and more limited experience in Luxembourg. (I've been to more places but honestly don't remember what drink prices were like in Finland ten years ago, let alone remembering what the Icelandic króna prices amounted to when I was there more recently.)

It's often not offered because it sounds like asking for a free drink instead of paying ~13 euros per liter which seems to be the average norm. Those that offer tap water (that's most places) will usually (not always) charge you the same as a normal water (edit: that means bottled/branded; the default they'll bring you if unspecified), which in turn is the same price as any soft drink (demonstrating that the price has nothing to do with cost, it must be paying for the table or something but it doesn't say so I don't know).

Anyway, it's more about places charging dishonest prices to seemingly cover for something else, leaving the consumer to guessing why in the world this might cost so much and just going with another option. I can't imagine it achieves the intended goal, so it doesn't seem like a good idea for either party. If anyone ever did finances for a restaurant or has a better-than-guessing idea why SSDs are priced this way, I'd be very curious.

> Early childhood development is about the most important thing society does in a person's life, after safe birth. By the time they're at high school problems are intractable which could have been remediated in kindy or prep.

Do you have any evidence for that assertion? James Heckman spent many years saying that infant and early childhood interventions were far more cost effective than those on later ages but he is no longer willing to defend his earlier position [1].

> I'm being mildly hyperbolic because I think a lot of people assume it's just watching kids play. It's not.

Not people who have children. They’re aware that they demand constant attention.

> Where do you think fine motor skills, balance, exercise habits, mental health, diet, recognition of emerging health issues comes from?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here but it sounds like you think these can durably be changed by childcare workers in some way. The behaviour genetics evidence is pretty clear that everything you mentioned is highly heritable and the normal range will emerge just fine in almost any non-abusive environment.

I teach children from 3-7 during my time in childcare/kindergarten and having my own children has just reinforced what I thought then. Teachers have very little impact on academic performance and personality but they can make the classroom a better or a worse place to be and help children deal with others in a slightly more productive way. They certainly don’t have any long run impact on fine motor skills or balance.

Censorship is a different issue. It is a political/culture war related, not denying me content because they want money from me, but denying me content because they think this content should not be available to anyone. It is a horrible thing, much worse than paywalling tbh, but completely different thing.

> I’m teaching to CS students and they consider facebook as "the thing used by their grandparents"

Mostly true, but that isn't that bad tbh. Grandparents have income, grandparents have time to spend, and grandparents aren't prone as much to jump to the next new shiny thing. True, they will eventually go away, but it's not going to happen very soon. So if that is true, Facebook has at least a decade, and maybe more because my generation (which would roughly be "parents" to your students) also uses FB, though much less now.

> I keep hearing that "mastodon will never replace Twitter" while it already has: there are now more links to toot on HN homepage than links to tweets.

Is there? I see two tweets links, and none of the "toots" (I will never get over the fact that this word means "fart"). I am no fan of twitter, but I am not sure how Mastodon would be better - all censorship fans are already there. I mean, you could use it as a blog, I guess, but why not just use a blog then?

> Free software are the only software that can stay successful for several decades

I was thinking that too, for a while. Until culture warriors started attacking the free software. Now I am not so sure. I mean, they probably won't be able to take down a huge project like Linux - too many people depend on it being there - but I am pretty sure they could destroy any smaller project. Think about it - how much abuse would a person be willing to take based on something they don't even get paid for?
Why should they have to? And what's to stop the customer using their own data anyway? Unlimited data plans are common in the UK.

AI summary:

Adversary drones are spying on the U.S. and the Pentagon is acting like they are UFOs. This gross inaction and the stigma surrounding unexplained aerial phenomena has led to a massive failure in U.S. military intelligence. It is likely that a wide array of explanations exist for the UFO mystery, and America's prevailing cultural issues and the general stigma surrounding UFOs was successfully targeted and leveraged by our adversaries. The U.S. Navy has a program of record for a Netted Emulation of Multi-Element Signature against Integrated Sensors, or NEMESIS, which is a quantum leap in electronic warfare. There have been reports of large drone swarms spotted over the U.S. and its outlying territories, especially near strategic installations. The U.S. Navy's top uniformed officer says the craft involved in the 2019 incidents off of Southern California remain unidentified. It is possible that the Pentagon's investigations into these matters is a lack of real expertise to properly evaluate the evidence. Step one is to admit that we have a major drone problem and fund a real intelligence fusion center to work these cases.

Weird take.
Ah, but you see, if this theory were right, then the US government would in effect be pushing a certain religion as a state religion and banning competing religions. And that certainly can't be right, because look, no one is even filing 1A lawsuits on this theory. So your theory must be wrong, QED.
Indeed, the math is clear. At the time they told the participants if they got the placebo, they already knew that the vaccine prevented severe illness. Since then, all the data confirms that in doing so, it also reduces deaths.

I know a reasonable amount about vitamin D to say the least and I dont agree with all the experts. For example when discussing food cravings related to vitamin D, a PhD expert and studying vit d suggested it was folates due to the solar irradiance exposure.

UV destroys folates in the body.

I wasnt so sure then and I'm still not so sure this is the sole answer. I think what I told them was correct and I've since seen studies from the 1950's which would back up my assertion.

In fact when considering folates create formaldehyde which is cancerous, is the reduction in cancer seen with higher levels of Vit D due to obtaining Vit D from sunshine?
In Germany to become a physiotherapist you do a three year apprenticeship. In the rest of Europe you need a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. In the US you need to get a Bachelor’s degree and then a second bachelor’s that for some reason is termed a professional doctorate. Pure credentialism.

The reason I said "on a more fundamental level" is that I'm not talking specifically about Python and asyncio, but coroutines in general. Even for Python, there are multiple event loop libraries available, they do not all work identically, which is why multiple ones exist. Someone here mentioned Temporal Python which works differently from asyncio, and would have avoided the author's problem. If you don't know how the scheduler works, you can't assume that a coroutine is guaranteed to complete just because you yoloed it into the scheduler, no matter how convenient that might be for you.

Yes, TaskGroups are a recent addition. If you can't use Python 3.11 for whatever reason, there is also the clearly written code sample at the bottom of the create_task documentation, which the author did not bother to mention. Probably didn't make it that far.

I feel like these little "safe, relaxing spaces" online are starting to become more of a trend?

I know it's not exactly the same, but conceptually, https://viberooms.serenebase.com/ this is something I have bookmarked as inspiration for some software I'm planning. My intent was to create a calming, safe space to check in and to use that space as a meditation and journaling area. Now I feel like I'm seeing these "serene for the sake of being serene, potentially with extra purpose tacked on" environments everywhere! Is it a bit of a trend or am I falling prey to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon once again? :)

I have a good friend who did a lot of his own electrical work recently and was praised by the inspector for his compliance with code and the work that he did.

The fear is that without licensed professionals doing the work, the work will be done wrong. That’s absurd. To bring it a little closer to HN’s readership, those of us who program know that programmers, regardless of their formal education, can be amazing or terrible, and everything in-between.

Training and licensure only promise that time has been spent by the individual, and the latter only really promises that someone can be legally paid for the work.

Ask HN: Best Online Music Lessons?
My wife wants to learn clawhammer banjo, and I want to add the dobro to the list of instruments that I play.

These days, I figure there must be some great resources online for musicians to learn the basics (for free). Finding them is not so easy, because searching the web for quality content apparently is still an unsolved problem.

So, musicians of HN, what resources have you or yours used to learn how to play a new instrument or style?
> Some people are very much against the GPL. I don’t know why they put corporate interests over users interests.

N=1, I like it when people make non-GNU systems work because I'm the kind of pendant who firmly believes that GNU!=Linux is a real and important distinction, and building Linux distros that aren't GNU forces the point. Unfortunately it appears that Gentoo relies on GNU coreutils, so this is just a baby step in that direction. On the other hand, Gentoo happily runs a prefix install on a lot of things that aren't Linux, and they have historically even run fully on a FreeBSD kernel, so they're still contributing from the other direction (Gentoo GNU/kFreeBSD, I guess). For nonGNU/Linux, Alpine is the reigning champion and Chimera looks super promising, but I'd love to see Gentoo as a good option.
This is a seriously impressive project!

From the study abstract: "Among depressed individuals, those with high GDF-15 had higher levels of comorbid physical illness, lower executive cognitive functioning, and higher likelihood of having late-onset depression."

Is it possible the physical comorbidities could be related to the depression? I'd imagine if my body was breaking down in new ways that made my impending mortality palpable, I'd be pretty depressed too.
Requiring degrees is anti-worker because it places a cost on them. It’s pro-university because it forces other people to give them money to be allowed to accept a job offer.

If the content is so important have a certification exam. That fulfills the purpose of driving down supply of workers so they get paid more. Same as requiring a degree but without giving money to universities. Obviously this is bad for those who want to buy childcare, just like the degree requirement.

You linking depression and exhaustion to this dysregulation state and the cure being sleep related sounds like your describing a really bad case of sleep deprivation. But I also get the sense that it is not that? And somehow related to autism and you can recognize people in that kind of state based on their word choice? Like if they could sleep a lot and go camping in nature with not many people and not many expectations for a month and avoid overstimulation, would a lot of these problems clear then?

I mean, the fumes are super not good since there will be a significant amount of N20, but most explosives are very hard to set off. Sure, it's relatively easy to create chemicals that explode, but the real trick is finding ones that don't explode from the slightest bump. For example, Alfred Nobel didn't invent nitroglycerin, he invented a safe(er) way to store and transport it. TNT is actually relatively difficult to set off, even something like shooting it with a rifle won't necessarily set it off. That being said, explosives definitely can sensitize with age, which is why unexploded ordinance is so hazardous.

For reference, my father was an explosives engineer and was the point of contact for local law enforcement when they found old explosives. (this was the 90s,so they didn't have funding for a bomb disposal team and this was an area that had mining history). There were multiple buildings where he advised the safest way to deal with the old explosives (mostly dynamite, but some TNT) was to set an explosive charge near and set them off since handling them would have been too high risk. New dynamite is safe enough you could toss it onto a campfire and it won't do anything more dramatic than burn rapidly (EDIT: not a guarantee, it is potentially possible that a fire could set dynamite off so I wouldn't recommend this, but anyone who can purchase it has an explosives license and hopefully knows better), but once it has aged enough it could potentially be set off by poking it with a stick. More modern explosives like TNT don't break down quite as dramatically, and in certain conditions TNT can even be rendered inert, but given unknown environmental factors any improperly stored explosives should be treated as potentially ready to go off if they are poked gently. That said, dad definitely did dispose of the majority of the old explosives simply by burning them, sometimes in place with the fire department on site if they couldn't be safely moved. The only buildings he had to set off the old explosives in were outbuildings in remote areas, where they had been left alone for a very long time. One of the structures, he was able to see a date stamp of 1918 on the wooden crate of dynamite leaking raw nitroglycerin.
