3 is called "soft story" and is something San Francisco now requires be fixed or the building is red-tagged - no grandfathering of existing structures is allowed.

Buildings like this are all over Turkey, parts of Central & South America, etc and just as you mentioned the soft story (usually the ground story) tends to collapse causing the building to pancake. It's still popular because it's easy to put parking or a commercial (large open space) on the ground floor for density.
As that criterion would sink most of the ad-tech industry, maybe it actually has some hidden merit? ;)
This is great news. I am suffering myself from some kind of neurological issue which hasn't be diagnosed yet but dirty EMG, brisk reflexes, hand muscle wasting might already foreshadow paralysis.

Do you use an IDE, and if so, which?

Last I checked Flathub shipped with VSCode and IntelliJ, despite both having major broken parts. The VSCode workaround back when I tried Silverblue was to run sshd inside toolbox and remote Flatpak VSCode into it. It was definitely not a frictionless experience. And IntelliJ having the terminal and debugging broken removes most of the useful parts of the IDE for me.
I never heard of serious suggestions to ban hydrocarbons from in general. We're not dumping R&D money into synfuels for fun. It's just that synfuels make no economic sense for almost everyone. Why would you want to pay 5x more per mile in a car with 10x more moving parts?
This article is NOT entirely correct.
From personal perspective to improve yourself and doing your own art knowing that no one will ever see it, and that you doing your art only for your own sake, then it is true, the other people art does not matter.

But it is completely opposite if your livelihood depends on it, your income or your business, all trades depends on money, and there is limited amount human attention out there equal to number of people online multiplied by number of minutes spent.

So, there is uneven spread, and the same reason why some artist thrive and many starve. Same for writers, and many other arts and sports.
If you take tennis as example, you will see that only maybe 100 or so tennis players earn amount of money that is good for the comfortable life style. Others are struggling to get by.

Same in any arts, or creative work ... only very small will actually manage to live out of their art ...
Well if you cheat you get to enjoy that feeling even when you wouldn't do well.

I honestly expect many of the people who go "nah I'm just that good" even in this thread are actually cheating. That smirk wouldn't feel any less good if you were cheating, in fact it'd be one more thing to smirk about.
I should have meant proprietary as in non-standard, not non-open-source. By proprietary I meant that they wrote their own DSL and in the future if it needs to be ported over, it will be much harder. It's like CoffeeScript versus Javascript/TypeScript.
If you want to harm advertisers while possibly support the sites, you can use AdNauseum, which basically does what uBlock Origin does, but will randomly access a percentage of the ads blocked, to waste the advertiser's money.
This is where we talk about the "accredited investor rule".

Startups do not usually require the people brought in to put in actual money. They put in time, for which they are paid with a mixture of cash, and equity which is basically a lottery ticket. But they do not flow money back to the founders. Generally the only people putting in actual money are those who can afford to lose it. Occasionally on HN I've seen people complaining that they can't sell shares to friends and family - or buy a startup they "know" is going to take off. But this is why: it's too easy to be fraudulent.

Now, what field has no such protections? ICOs and cryptocurrency. What field is rife with fraud that's been called "MLM for men"? ICOs and cryptocurrency.
Google Play Services, not Global Positioning System.
I think the technology is actually more or less there already. We just need a few enterprising individuals to come up with a polished device for that.
The intuitive probability we have built-in in our brains doesn't match the mathematical concept of probability, leading to certain paradoxical outcomes that don't make sense in regular language but are perfectly normal for trained minds. This pops up when data scientists discuss their findings with untrained managers all the time. The longer a mind is used to the mathematical notion of probability, the less it remembers early intuitive notion and loses the contact with regular folks and their perception.
> all these systems try to bring something new to the table

That's great, I just wish that they all didn't have to hurdle the same (very high) bar before they can get to the "something new" part.

> some tunnel magic that forwards all traffic coming in from the internet ... to my local side of the tunnel, and vice versa

Yes! I considered that too. It'd kinda be like tailscale funnel, which mostly targets web hosting scenarios. Hilariously, they poked fun at the $5/mo vps idea in their article about funnel back in November [1]:

> Yes, you could spin up a $5/month VM somewhere and forward a port from its public internet IP to your tailnet with one line in your rinetd.conf file. But is that fun? Do you really need a(nother) Linux VM in your life?

(we're definitely being called out here lol)

Sadly, funnel wouldn't work in our case because we need an unshared static IP. But that hint about rinetd could help, from the man page [2]:

> it is able to redirect a large number of connections without a severe impact on the machine. This makes it practical to run services on machines inside an IP masquerading firewall.

What is the base data for your analysis? Is this data available?

And how did you come to the conclusion that "missing high quality linux desktops" are the thing "holding back" Linux?

Is this based on some statistical work you did?

If we talk about feelings - did you ever have the feeling that corruption, lobbying and blackmailing could play a role?

BTW - why do you think Linux is missing high quality desktops? I am working with very high quality Linux desktops since many years and I wonder why people are using such low quality desktop OS that are sold commercially.
Or people, by the looks of it.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by CSS in JS, since you say inline styles next. Are you talking about JSX having a style component? Or Tailwind within the className in JSX? Or CSS in JS libraries like styled-components?
this reminds me, there is a principle from the book - the courage to be disliked. its about task seperation. basically you do your task and let others do their task. you dont let others meddle in your tasks and you dont meddle in tasks of others. For a singer for example, the singer's task is to sing well, focus on improving their voice, style, learn voice related skills and improve them. The critic has the task to love/hate the singing, comment, praise, do marketing (good or bad). The singer shouldnt manipulate what the critic does, its the critic's task.

i think this applies to all art/expression. this manupulation pandemic and image management of today's world is making artists slaves of critics.

great paintings!
The other trivial solution is to just list all the vendors that the customer could potentially deal with and give them the ability to select the ones they'd like to receive offers from. Yes, there's less potential overall revenue there, because less leads means less revenue for lead generation companies, but it's still better than the footgun they're currently being presented with.
I don't follow - you say "Google is guilty of not verifying it enough", then you turn around and say it's bad that people "demand that megacorporations control access to your products". Which is it?
>Which part of Arch's design prevents the issue described in the grandparent post?

As a former long-time Arch user, you're correct. It's "just" a distro not unlike the biggest one. The reason Arch repos are fairly well updated and big is the relatively easy to understand PKGBUILD format and the tooling around it, which lessens friction on package management.
Interesting.

But I found an english article about it, for those of us whose french is a bit rusty:

You can have civil conversation with diverse opinions, what you like is called self-censorship, users here sooner or later discover that same as everywhere else if they go against HN hivemind opinion their opinions will be flagged or downvoted. Reddit is same in this aspect (besides smaller subreddits), so you are not really riding on high horse here looking down with despect on Reddit, because this is nothing else than Reddit sub for IT guys.

Only thing that I'd love implemented is the ability to add links on sequence diagrams (probably also on other types, but it's the one I currently try to transition from diagram.io).

What I found very helpful is to add a sequence diagram and add inline links to logs for the given endpoints.
How could that be improved? Allowing insults to prevent passive aggressiveness doesn't seem right.
I think it is interesting that per km travelled, it is actually more energy efficient to travel by plane, than by car. This is mostly because most people tend to drive solo, so they are moving around a lot of vehicle for just a single passenger.

Of course people tend to travel much further/faster by plane. So prehaps it is not plane travel that you would like to see as a thing of the past, but traveling long distances? Or perhaps you class car ownership/driving in the same class of things that should go away.
If you spent the money to electrify roads, you might as well just build rails to lower friction. And perhaps chain multiple trucks together to reduce air resistance as save labor costs.
But of those benefits you mention, most are not in contradiction with a walkable neighbourhood. In my home town, most things are in walking and biking distance and we still have good public schools, lots of parks and safety. These things have nothing to do with cars, if you just make the choice to create them somewhere walkable.
I wish I'd have a plugin that makes the difference before/after accepting cookie consent, always accept, and always flush them between pages.

I know by experience that the key isn't about refusing them, but letting them having those "user accepted" KPI values, even if it goes nowhere behind.
> I don't do anything heavy on the computer—browser, Excel, and ssh—and the M1's battery only lasts for about six hours. Can using Chrome as the browser and not Safari make that much of a difference?

On an Intel Mac from 2020 I'll get nearly 8 hours of battery if I'm not running a VM. My browser is Firefox.

I would expect M1 macs to run substantially longer on battery even if using Chrome (is that even supposed to be a factor?).

The only people I know who dislike tailwind are those who either have never used it to make a project because of bias (hello past me) or those who dislike having faster development speed.

Tailwind objectively saves time, yes, objectively.
Any kind of secure tunnel between the mail gateway and the backing server would work. A wireguard or tailscale tunnel for example.

Well, if gamers gain that much satisfaction from other people's frustration, it's no mystery why they cheat too. I don't think that feeling is especially dependent on having achieved it "legitimately".
I thought its more about really feeling as a viewer what the painting stirs in your own soul and not what the painters feeling/intention/state of mind was when he created the painting.
Like dont read the art critic interpretation (or not only) but rather really feel what the art invokes in you - a unique feeling.
1) Generally speaking, family and friend communities offer support structures that increase individual success and decrease antisocial behavior. Keeping those communities together is worthwhile both from a social welfare perspective and an economic efficiency one.

2) Reducing obstacles to building is free (in the long term, it's revenue-positive). Propping up a dying town is expensive.
I find that is generally true of everywhere online, most especially where people are incentivized by voting mechanisms such as Hacker News. IRC is real time dialogue where people are better able to defend themselves without concern for votes.

The reason I prefer xc to makefiles is it is more discoverable I think, when you have a project with a Makefile you often have some documentation in the README that outlines what each Makefile command does. I thought why not cut out the middle man!
I think you've misinterpreted broadening the conversation ("this was interesting, but what about this other topic?") with deflection ("are MLMs harmful? Well, other businesses are not angels either you know, what about the crimes of startup culture?").

Whataboutism is necessarily a deflection relying on a stated or implied moral equivalence between something under scrutiny and something irrelevant. Accepting the premise that something is problematic and asking whether that reflects a problem in other places is introducing a new topic of discussion to a conversation. You are free to criticize that, but whataboutism is a mischaracterization.

(And in a strange coincidence, this is the second time I've defined whataboutism today, in unrelated threads. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34919705)
Dude, please. You're posting a shallow dismissal of a project that's doing a lot of work to make *nix-like OS's more usable for novice and non-technical users. HN deserves a lot better than this.
That reading doesn't really agree with the maintainers' responses at all.

They say this is desirable functionality, but that they would want to subsume termites features in VTE and Gnome Terminal, and that was their rationale for rejecting the patch. Then they didn't deliver those features in a timely fashion.

That's just abhorrent behavior.
Some of the schools near me in London close the street during pick-up and drop off times to prevent exactly that:

He is also banning users (like me) from submitting articles with "You are posting too fast" BS instead saying honestly "You are banned from submitting articles because XX", while I can post comments without any issues.
Is the problem really the predictive optimization algorithms themselves, or rather how we think about these problems / solutions in the first place?

I don’t know, it may just be that I’m getting old (45), but my impression is that there has been a substantial shift in our culture around these issues over my adult lifetime (at least in Sweden where I live). For example, only 20 years ago it was extremely rare that the Swedish police shot anybody, and e.g. holding a knife and being non compliant with police instructions was not considered enough to warrant getting shot. There has been no change to the relevant law AFAIK, but there has been a cultural change where many people now think the police is responsible if such a person suddenly runs away and attacks someone with that knife. And there’s also a constant stream of cases where the police has shot someone essentially for being non compliant (mentally ill, addicts, distraught people and so on).

I think in general 20 years ago in Sweden most people in positions of influence were a lot more principled in thinking about these issues, and the principles were the classic ones ironed out by Voltaire et al. Nowadays, not so much… The thinking seems much more primitive.

One of those principles was that it was wrong to punish (or take similar action) against someone for what they could potentially do in the future. Another was that each person is (with very few exceptions) morally responsible for their own actions. Pretty good principles in my view.

People just don't want to wear a headset. I mean, some do. It's neat. But hard to motivate your employees to build something great when you say it's "the way people will work in the future" when obviously nobody wants this except the bosses.
Right now there are calls to forcibly abort and then forcibly sterilize women who get drunk during pregnancy.

The consequences of that are much worse, I might add, than the ones observed in this experiment. They are also permanent and will be passed on for generations. "Fetal alcohol syndrome".

In practice I think the chance of this actually happening to those women is, for the moment, zero. The above changes are effectively proposed as a way to save money for social services, and I do hope we, as a species, are above using forced sterilization to save a buck. Additionally I hope that any doctor that is asked to do this will refuse to do it.

I use uBlock Origin's element picker and element blocker features to just make the popup notices disappear, without accepting them.

Do you get charged for _receiving_ texts when traveling internationally? Maybe it's different here in Europe, but as far as I know, I only get charged for active things - sending texts, making calls, accepting calls. Passive things - receiving texts, getting calls (but not accepting them) - do not incur any charges.
You are forced to give it. If you lose your job or somehow cannot manage your cashflow for a moment, you go to jail.

I was spared in the Nov 2022 layoff but decided to find another gig anyway and started elsewhere in January. The difference for my mental health has been night and day. Constant talk about "increased intensity" (what does that mean? I already thought I was working pretty hard), layoffs rumors with no official clarification, PSC stack ranking. No thanks, it just wasn't for me.
Both. It can be both.

Compare to food: it's like demanding that Walmart screen all the food itself to protect you and then you'd screech at Walmart and only Walmart for not making sure Keloggs cereal is healthy while letting the manufacturer off the hook with zero (I repeat, zero, none, null, NADA) consequences for fraud and damage they caused.

The way media, HNers and other people behave is creating a situation that's terrible to the extreme.

Now, do a thinking experiment: how did we ensure product quality in food/electronics/other parts that DID NOT hang on the fact that Walmart has 100% monopoly on all sales of those products and completely locks out you ability to go to any other store? How did we build a system that holds manufacturer of fradulent good accountable, not the megacorporation doing the distribution?
The BBC was interviewing some Meta employee in India that was claiming VR is going to be absolutely necessary and Indian families should plan to buy VR sets because they will be needed for the education of their children.

It felt so detached, and the interviewer was very mellow, only saying that perhaps the cost is a problem, but the Meta guy insisted that it's needed so they have to find the money.

Building a widespread surveillance society and a centralized trove of user profile data, in a jurisdiction known for disregarding human rights to privacy (see FAA702 et c) and committing genocide when it suits their ends.

Building such a machine (Instagram, FB, WhatsApp, etc) poses a grave danger to a free society if misused, but Meta will not be the ones directly harmed when the databases they built are misused in bulk by the state to commit mass human rights violations or other atrocities.
