I'd once heard that VS was one of Microsoft's most potent assets for attracting developers, that rounded-off controls with some margins made buttons and other clickable elements more identifiable, and that strong keyboard bindings were preferable to toolbar clutter.

I don't really have much of an opinion, these changes are so subtle it's hard to care and I don't use VS anyway, but I'm surprised at the strong reactions and lack of advocacy for the above.

Of course it's perennial that a lot of users react negatively to change, which makes sense, too.
Complaining about "disproportionate media coverage" is a thin veil for the delivery of the more insidious message the dishonest graphic is conveying: why aren't they covering the real problem of all these black people committing violence.

And I didn't say it's the "worst" racism. It's cheap, low effort, dishonest, unintelligent, and designed to manipulate morons, which brings me back to my original comparison to phrenology.

The problem with MOND is that it's just math. It doesn't explain anything in terms of cause and effect because it doesn't have a physical basis. The problem with the cold dark matter model is that it posits a massive, slow moving particle. A slow massive particle would be attracted to other bodies and to other dark matter particles and form clumps in orbit. This is not observed.

There's a better hypothesis that not only explains the cause of gravity, but also posits that dark matter consists of positive and negative electric photons that continually radiates from all massive particles. Lots of it. They can't be detected electrically because their net effect is neutral but they still cause gravity.

> Its pretty and fun to watch. But it moves at a glacial pace and could just be compressed into one season.

I feel this captures most streaming series. 10 years ago a season could consist of 24 separate stories with one continuous background plot. Now you have one story spanning 10 episodes and ending on a cliffhanger. I'm not against the format. Parts of Terror was great. But most are excruciating slow with next to no character development and detours that doesn't matter.
The UK hasn't passed EU laws since Brexit was done Jan 2021 like they did when they were a member. It's just a free trade agreement now. It is up to UK exporters to provide proof of compliance just like Canadian exporters to EU. 42% of total UK exports is to EU, even pre-Brexit it was below 50%.

In 2015 it was still just 44% of total UK exports to EU:

Agreed, I think all those things amount to less stress, less stress to just exist as a regular human.
From what I've read, for any location and particularly coastal locations, it means less normal weather and more and more extreme weather. For example, I know some areas that are getting less and less frequent snow days, but more and more frequent snowstorms. So average snowfall stays relatively above average but occurs only on a few days. (I.e., snows like three days all winter but 8-20 inches each time.)

So I would guess the answer to

is yes.

I don't have contempt for them because they don't share my viewpoint, I have contempt for them because they decided to follow a hate-filled, violent, and oppressive ideology that they want to enforce on anyone they view as an other.

We can disagree on trade policy and still have respect for one another. When people have the same fundamental values they can disagree on lots of things.

I’m not in the least worried about the supposed dangers of AI; I don’t see it causing major unemployment, nuclear armageddon, or anything particularly scary. However, I think the real danger with those chatbots is how people are becoming emotionally involved with them. This is clearly by design and it’s working extremely well with so many people.

The bail bond industry should be illegal. Its existence alone is a compelling argument against cash bail.

The theory of bail is that someone who is to trap the charged individually financially, by locking up as much of their liquid assets as possible behind a promise to actually show up to court. If people are needing to take out loans to pay bail, the bail was set too high. If the accused doesn't have enough assets to meaningfully pin them down with bail, cash bail is inappropriate. In a system that was effectively setting cash bail, the only scenario where someone would take a loan out would be to cover unexpected expenses between arrest and trial.

But that's not how bail is applied in the US. Cash bail is set absurdly high, because the prosecution knows that the individual is going to get a bail bond, and thus the 10% needs to be a significant hit, and the remaining 90% needs to be enough to convince a bounty hunter to chase someone down.
Well, from my somewhat uninformed un-american perspective, the question of "how can we fix the problem of violence in black American communities?" does indeed seem much more important than the one of "how can we fix the problem of white Americans doing violence against black ones?" due to its relative size. So I'm unclear on why the message you claim is being delivered is bad.
I used Eagle in my first few years of hobby PCB design. It was fine, worked well. I really jumped on KiCad after development started to pick up and Mac support became really reliable. The workflow for managing schematic symbols and component footprints has _massively_ improved. It's definitely more usable. I think shortly after I started using KiCad, Eagle was acquired and that really soured me to it. Autodesk's products are fine, but I don't really care for their business practices. Your noting they were unwilling to honor a license brought prior to purchase is more kindling for that fire.

Don't get me wrong, I'm right there with you! My career as an on-call SRE dealing with incident response wasn't chosen by accident. If the website's on fire, suddenly I can move mountains, but if I have the luxury of waiting until 9 am Monday morning to do the exact same tasks, my brain just won't cooperate.

It's easy to frame the demands of modern working environments as the problem, but it's really the other way around. Modern society is so luxurious, so privileged, there's just so much excess, that bills don't rise to the level of emergency that my lizard brain is able to comprehend. Consciously, yes, I need to pay my bills, but it's nothing bad happens immediately the instant my power bill is late. Even when the power company does send somebody out, they don't ring my doorbell and start yelling at me for not paying. If someone I didn't know came by and yelled at me I'd be way more able to remember to pay my bill. (SYayaS? Stranger yelling at you as a service?) But that's rude and unpleasant and no one wants that.

Meanwhile, outside the trappings of modern society, you don't have a plan for catching the woolly mammoth until you're too hungry to think, and then you can't think (not that you were great at planning to begin with) so you starve and die.

This whole "it's modern society that's the problem with my ADHD" is a stupid myth that needs to die.

Holden were, post-subsidies, little more than a domestic marque for imported GM vehicles, and GM were no longer making RHD vehicles. They were a car company which didn't make any cars and had nothing to import.

The brand assets are all that remains, and they're worth a lot more than $1. Once all of Holden's warranty/consumer law obligations are fully exhausted, it might be of interest to someone like SAIC or Geely who could repeat what was done to famous British marque MG Motor. Perhaps in a decade, a Chinese automaker will try their luck with a Holden Commodore Sandman EV.
Yes, completely agreed. There's a lot of being kidded that it's more than what it actually is because the hype is overblown. Statements are being made and repeated that simply have no basis in reality right now, nor in the future. Even this assumption that we are close to having AGI, I can only laugh.

I'm the opposite. I see all that junk on a PC booting and I think to myself, well, what happens if one of those tests fail?

I'm gonna reboot. And if it keeps failing, I'll take it to a shop.

If I take a Mac to the Apple store, they will run their in-house diagnostics and tell me what's wrong.

I’m also from the US and I’ll second that this is basically correct and should be taken as an implicit assumption about most Americans if you’re looking in from the outside.

Most Americans are only presented with increasing incarceration rates as the only realistically viable way of solving most social ills. As such, there are many flavors and colors of “increase the incarceration rate” across the political spectrum, and lots of people will pick a boogeyman (drug addicts, thieves, etc.) to justify it. For those that don’t pick a boogeyman their support of increasing the incarceration rate is tied to something entirely unrelated (e.g. “My guy that supports mass incarceration is so much better than your guy that supports mass incarceration! Look at his track record on {social issue}!”)

The fact that this is the view shared by the majority is reflected in the barely-fluctuating incarceration rate and military-sized “crime fighting” budgets. It is also a fact that is reflected in who Americans continue to elect and which policies we vote to enact.
Yeah presumably that's why they're suing and not charging them with a crime. Think about that one for a second.
Actually I think all the things that happened up to now is probably a net positive. However there seems to be a trend that the closer the technology is related to human communication, the less obvious it's a positive. It's probably true that all arguments about negative outlooks of new technology is "this time it's different". This time it does feel different to me.

I think our interest in speech and information is not separable from the implicit assumption that they were created by a human. Humans may transcend that and become some kind of enlightened being, but I am not optimistic that we can adapt that fast, if at all.
Okay. That sounds reasonable, with the difficulty of being radically underfunded (especially while locked in competition with the other world.)

The model weights (the thing being updated by the training process) stay loaded in gpu memory during training (the slow part). This could be useful to serialize the model weights to disk when checkpointing or completed, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the time spent training.
Having looked up what that means: am I missing something or is it the case that you don't want to interact with people who mention facts that can be used to support unpleasant narratives?

Because if so, that seems like a way of ending up with a very biased view of the world... while the murder ratio fact might be old news to you and something that shouldn't be dwelled on, there's bound to be one of the 10,000[1] just learning it for the first time and sometimes you'd be one of those 10,000 unless you cut yourself off from it.

No, POST as in the actual test, not just the sound. The article speculates that unlike “other models that have mute boots”, here there might literally be no power-on self-test: “there are no accessible records of any POST taking place on Apple silicon Macs, no other evidence that they do, and even if they did it’s hard to see what they might achieve.”
This is like “leading” the world to more restrictions, banning, and less privacy. I don’t think that’s a good thing

However, the wiki article also notes that Ubuntu includes it by default as a binary module. That seems like a sensible thing to do from a legal perspective, since it's generally accepted that binary modules are not "linked to" the kernel in such a way as to trigger GPL provisions relating to such linkage.
Yes I've heard that as well. For example I heard 2nd hand that Andrew Wiles at Princeton, who famously solved Fermat's last theorem, is a brilliant researcher but a terrible professor.

I had a math professor from Dartmouth who told me that Dartmouth really emphasized teaching in their phd program and he was indeed an exceptional teacher. I wish that was emphasized more, or they separate hardcore researchers from the teachers.
Go look at what privatization did to water and trains in the UK.

It's turned into absolute trash. Utter, absolute disaster. Everything privatized by the Tories has been a complete civic disaster.

Massive sewage discharges, foreign shareholders stripping assets with zero investment for the future, late trains, bad rolling stock.

A complete disaster. Like American healthcare.

Don't wish this shit on your worst enemies.

Anyone arguing otherwise is either a rich grifter trying to sponge from the public purse or a poor moron who's been convinced by the rich grifters to vote against their own best interest.

Capitalism does not work on utilities like schooling, healthcare, energy, water, public transportation, etc. at all. It's used as a way to strip public funds by corruption and bribery. Just like we know communist governments don't work, we also know privatising public services don't work.

Centralia has long been a bit of personal obsession of mine, so I had to double take seeing it on HN. I travel between northern Virginia and the Poconos fairly often and always hop off 81 to drive through Centralia whenever I have the chance--my most recent visit was actually earlier this week on Monday afternoon.

It's an eerily beautiful place. There's hardly any infrastructure to explore, but walking through the overgrown streets and sidewalks and seeing the concrete steps and wrought iron railings is quite sobering. The town has three fairly large cemeteries, all of which are kept in excellent condition. The Odd Fellows cemetery is adjacent to the dump where the fire started in the 60's and really paints a picture of how far back many of the families that lived there go. There are a number of Civil and Revolutionary War graves in Odd Fellows as well, easily identified by the small American flags planted at their base.

If you walk down the dirt road (2nd St), you'll encounter a number of 10 foot poles surrounded by iron cages intended to keep people away from what used to be extremely hot exhaust gases. Locals used to toss trash into the cages to watch it melt, but it's difficult to encounter an exposed hot spot anymore. There's some debate about whether the fire is actually still burning in the coal seams as the terrestrial evidence (steam rising from the rocks, barren patches of land that melts snow, etc) has become less visible in the past couple decades, but there are certainly still "warm" areas. I brought an infrared thermometer with me on a trip last year and found a spot in a rocky outcropping that topped out near 150*F. If you go looking, the most active areas are now located just off Big Mine Run Rd just before it turns up the hill towards town.

I'd encourage anyone who's interested to stop through if you're traveling along the I-81 corridor. The surrounding towns of Shenandoah, Ashland, and Mt. Carmel are hauntingly beautiful in a way that can only be found in Pennsylvania Coal Country. Most of the original inhabitants of Centralia relocated to these neighboring towns and many will gladly share their tales, often from first-hand experience. There's an incredible amount of history in the region that dates back hundreds of years. Some of it has been overshadowed by the fire, including the crash of United Flight 624 back in 1948[1]. The Disaster Area podcast has an excellent episode that covers the birth and eventual decline of Centralia, and the host is herself a resident of Carbondale where a smaller but active fire has been burning for about as long.

I'd be happy to share some recent photos if anyone's interested. Some of the more captivating images I've taken are of Big Mine Run, a small mine-fed creek that is bright orange, visible even at night, from all the iron oxide in the water.

"raising awareness" doesn't require personal sacrifice
I'm making this comment as an individual who operates several public-facing web sites, and also writing and supporting a framework for making these websites.

I don't think it is a choice for many people, for example:

If you are using someone else's device where you cannot install anything.

If you are using an older device, which may need JS disabled for performance reasons.

If the browser you're using has special accessibility features that other browsers don't.

If you tried to install another browser, but were not able to.

There are many scenarios, some which I may not even be able to anticipate ahead of time.

My framework's basic features: account registration, posting, commenting, voting, and filtering, are all supported on mainstream or once-mainstream (1% or more market share) browsers released since 1995, to my knowledge, with and without JavaScript.

If I'm able to accomplish this pretty much by myself with a bit of elbow grease, I can't help but think that it's only laziness and excuses which prevent someone with more manpower from at least providing something like mbasic (but not broken like mbasic) to all users, especially on informational read-only sites.
