If the author or anyone else with the ability to update Wikipedia's code itself is reading this, I have a suggestion for some low-hanging fruit that wastes a lot more than 300ms for all sorts of users, not just those on low-end mobile devices.

Wikipedia, like many web sites, makes it really easy for mobile users to get redirected to a mobile-specific version running on a mobile-specific domain.

The problem is that this mobile-specific version is not good for browsing on a full computer. It's not even great on a tablet. But there's no easy way to switch back when I've been sent a mobile-specific link other than editing the link by hand. Mobile links end up everywhere thanks to phone users just copy/pasting whatever they have, and desktop users suffer as a result.

Please, anyone who develops web sites, stop doing the mobile-specific URL nonsense. Make your pages adaptable to just work properly on all target devices.

If you insist on doing things this way with mobile-specific URLs, at least make it equally easy for desktop users to get off the mobile URLs as you make it for phone users to get on them.
In order to download a file via Torrent, someone has to upload it, and when using Torrent via VPN, the file cannot be uploaded without port forwarding.
It's a review for a product, not a creator. There is no "reduction" here of any sort, just you misunderstanding what reviews are.

The era of easy to reproduce but hard to fake media is actually the historical outlier.

Before that media was written text and everyone knows anyone can make up anything they want in that domain. Before that most people were illiterate so it didn’t matter much. Media wasn’t even much of a thing.

We are headed for the post-media era when any arbitrary piece of media depicting anything can be created for little or no money by anyone with a computer. Nothing can be believed unless you were there or hear it from a known reliable source that was there.

There’s going to be an ugly transition period when we have tons of people who haven’t gotten this memo yet. These people are going to be manipulated en masse with tremendous effectiveness. The push to deplatform misinformation is largely an attempt to stop this, but I think it’s futile. People just have to learn that media is dead and they can’t trust anything anymore.

Hunter Thompson was ahead of his time. The only journalism worth doing in this future is individual gonzo journalism where you go and experience and tell the tale directly to your audience. That of course is vulnerable to spin by the teller, but so are all tales. It’s the best we have. Hopefully honest tellers of first hand tales will exist and get the reputation for honesty they deserve.
Dude what are you talking about, I’m not talking about whether or not a kid can go in a strip club lol. I’m just saying if you don’t want your kid reading a book in a school library just talk to your librarian like a normal human being. Just like if you don’t want your kid participating in sex ed just sign a waiver. Equating sex ed with porn is weird but there are already avenues to exclude your child from it if you want to.

>the need for "new", when in most cases something vaguely similar to WinXP or OSX is fine for 90% of things

When you say that being vaguely similar to WinXP or OSX is fine for 90% of programs, is that in terms of looks, journey path, or something else?
And sometimes they pick locations based on something other than "statistics" and "rankings."
Most parents are sending their kids to bed with a phone and the kid is watching far more graphic sex than what is in these books.

I see a study from 2022 that 10% have watched porn by the age of 9.

The average age a kid first watched internet porn in the US right now is 12.

Parents are just a joke. Worried about “Nick and Charlie" in school while their kid goes to bed and watches a BDSM gang bang in HD video.

Total denial I am sure. "Not my innocent little angel". Even if the kid is in the 10% not watching porn , surely their friends tell them all about what they watched.

I would think the kids think these books are a total joke.

You're missing the main point: you're just assuming that we must trade those features for improved latency, but this is just not true. The properties he measured are a result of particular architectural and abstraction choices, but other choices could be made that don't necessarily require such sacrifices. For instance, the exokernel.
gun cotton and nitrocellulose are not "explosive." they both burn very easily and quickly, but they do not explode.

I mean everything has been around but we're talking about mainstream acceptance. Trump said that the elections were stolen and the violent riots were justified. What major figure from either party supported anti-government violence before?

Voting fraud was a talking point going back at least to Von Spakovsky under Bush but this was a minor figure who wasn't taken very seriously at the time. Now it's supported by the party leadership.

The moderate Republican party elites were in control up to the tea party movement. This was what the tea party itself was saying: our views are not being represented. Mottos like "America First" and "Drain the Swamp" were relegated to third-party candidacies like Buchanan 2000.

BTW there has been movement on the left too, I'm focusing on the right because that's what you asked about. The 1990s were a moment of remarkable elite consensus with the centrist DLC in control on the left and the more moderate GOP factions on the right. This led to memes about "both parties are the same" like "Kang and Kodos" (1990) and "Giant Douche vs Shit Sandwich" (2004). Since then American politics have polarized and the parties have moved much further apart. The concept of an "Overton window" doesn't even make as much sense anymore, because many people take offense at mainstream views of the other side (e.g. "trans women are women" or "Jan 6 was justified because the 2020 election was stolen by Biden")
All I see is a lot of whataboutism to justify some truly heinous actions that have been committed in the past several years.

Yeah, Indira Gandhi wasn’t great either. Congress has its flaws.

None of that justifies the actions of today. Yes, the BJP has done some good things, but that’s true of many heinous authoritarians in the past as well.

No number of good things simply wash their hands of the bad stuff along the way.
Show HN: Candydate – TikTok Meets Tinder but for Recruitment
HB here, sharing my first post ; )

I run a tech lab in the UK, and after several costly, poor hires over the years, we decided to build our own hiring tool with a focus on personality over skills.

Here's the thing: resumes suck at showcasing personality! We've been using video and AI successfully and for quite some time to solve this problem. Now, we thought, why not spread the love? Especially if we can make it FREE for small businesses like ours?

https://candydate.app, has the following goals:

1. Highlight true personalities using short videos, instead of relying on CVs or forms.
2. Employ AI to help rank applicants for each role, based on human factors and company culture.
3. Transform the selection process into something akin to scrolling through TikTok or using Tinder.

Job seekers won't need to fill out forms, attach resumes, create an account or download anything. They just scan a QR code, record a short video, and they're done. It's truly simple!

The aim was never to build an ATS (too complex for our needs) or a job listing site (there are many already). Instead, something simpler, to use wherever we already advertise vacancies, be it online or in print.

We believe small businesses that lack recruitment tools (like we did) might appreciate it, although Candydate can certainly help businesses of all sizes.

I have no idea how to launch or promote this type of tool, so any feedback or tips on spreading the word or improving the app would be immensely appreciated.

Many thanks, HN!
My original response were specifically about references. But sorry if it sounded more aggressive than it was. I mistook you for the original person I replied to, which made me answer more direct than maybe was necessary. Also, it was my bad for not linking the actual reference for WHOs adult data. I'll link it here instead [1]. That said, on second look it is from 2000, so it is much older than the one on children. Maybe not as reliable. I remain am quite sceptical to the claim that there is an actual difference between in oral health between EU and US though. And my original response were to someone saying preventive care is completely non-existent in EU, which is simply demonstrably wrong.

That's what the air exchange unit is for. It brings fresh air in and exhausts stale air, passing the heat from the stale air to the fresh air as it does so. I would love one in my 1970-built house.

In the types of old houses described in your link, this type of thing was designed to be done by one or more open fires, which drew fresh air in through cracks and crevices and exhausted up the chimney.

Eventually, some thing that we cannot control (e.g. Giant meteor, pandemic, etc) will come to destroy us.

If it does, it will be our fault for not progressing fast enough in terms of knowledge.

As a long time lover of mathematics, it pains me to hear about people's various childhood traumas with math and subsequent lifelong avoidance.

Math is taught so poorly in school. It is taught as rote memorization of formulas with no context and no questions about WHY we are doing what we are doing.

I've been on a personal quest to help rehabilitate people who self identify as "bad at math" because I'm convinced that most of them have been doing some sort of trauma induced avoidance for their whole lives and don't deserve to have this math shame hanging around their necks.

Interesting, happy to chat and provide feedback as I have been working in this field for the last few years. Did you get inspiration by any chance from the following paper : https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.07147.pdf and their recent implementation https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot ?
Because you simply can't define "preset" in absolute terms. Two events that happen at the same time in my frame of reference might happen one after the other in your frame of reference.

If the past nor the future exist and you first see one of the things happening, then the other, but I see them happening at the same time I'm seeing things that shouldn't exist in a single moment.

"Better interactivity" is subjective. You could argue that faster is better. Expanding and collapsing sections can be achieved faster and with zero JavaScript (which also makes it work on browsers with disabled JS) with a hidden input[type="checkbox"].
Aa for the media viewer, it could be a great exercise to try and make it in a similar manner with input[type="checkbox"] for opening/closing media viewer and input[type="radio"] for switching to prev/next image. This one probably requires browsers to support the `:has` CSS selector.

Also, if you want to further speed up your site, just like you said, the fastest way to speed up the site is to delete JavaScript, get rid of jQuery.
fyi AirVPN still support port forwarding https://airvpn.org/faq/port_forwarding/
From the sounds of the article, that 300 milliseconds wasn't much addition or math or number crunching but essentially book keeping and querying.

A lot of that crunching is either whittling through DOM traversals.

I've heard that rule of thumb that there are 5-9 machine instructions before JMP or CALL which you can find if you search "instructions per branch cpu"

If I had a database of 4,000 links and instantiated a function event handler to each one, that would be slow. But if I could invert the problem and test if the clicked object is inside an active query resultset, that could be fast. It could be automatic.
> Can't have it both ways I'm afraid.

Why? I mean, it's logically inconsistent, but human beings are pretty good at that. The irrational is entirely within our capabilities.

You can argue that we shouldn't, but if it's an argument against something designed to produce better outcomes, you've already thrown out basically all of utilitarianism and consequentialism. You can bring in schools of deontology, but they're ultimately irrational at their core as well.
Even empirical truth has a remarkable degree of social construction. Consider the notion of "force", as empirical as it gets. But then you look at relativity or even just centrifugal force. Scientific revolutions consist of reinterpreting objective facts.

It's not just "nothing is real", which is just intellectual laziness. It's noting that we always interpret the world; we can't avoid it. Ordinary interactions usually arrive at similar interpretations, but people have a remarkable way of being influenced in that judgment. And sometimes that can lead to some really bad outcomes. It's important to recognize that the potential is always there even in things that seem obvious.
Rating system for stuff like books needs another dimension.

> putting his assets on the line

People put their time, hearts, and lives on the line when they commit to another person. The risk of losing some money is a pretty tertiary one. I'm not saying it's negligible, I'm saying that the idea that you can just do away with risk in a committed relationship is pretty silly. I guess for some people the financial risk is primary, but that attitude seems to me ... I don't know, sad? If you really worry about it that much, sign a pre-nuptial agreement and move on.
Extend and lock in.
Yes, pumped Hydro is good. But in practice, seems to only store energy for "days", not "months".

Furthermore, water restrictions (especially in the West) force the dams to release water even when electricity isn't needed. Because people need water to drink. A dam can serve multiple masters... but one of those masters will take priority. In most cases, water-rights will take priority over energy storage.

That is to say: we can't store energy reliably in dams that are being used for water rights management. We can release water _and_ generate electricity, but the "choice" as to water rights management vs energy storage is contradictory. Storing energy longer means "not releasing water". While serving the water/drinking needs of the downstream communities means "releasing the water".

I feel like this type of task was already handled well by ChatGPT. I am a designer currently learning web development. When I am confused about something, I just add a prompt such as "explain it to a middle school student" to the question.

For example,

Q: "What is closure in javascript?"

GPT4.0: A closure in JavaScript is a function that has access to its own scope, the scope of the outer function, and the global scope. This feature enables the function to access variables from an enclosing scope even after that scope has finished execution, providing a sort of "memory" for the function.

Q: "What is closure in javascript? Your task is to explain it to a middle school student."

GPT4.0: "Imagine you're building a magical castle. Inside this castle, you have a special room where you keep all your secret treasures. Normally, once you leave the room, you can't see or use the treasures anymore.

But then, you invent a magical backpack. With this backpack, you can take any treasure from the room, and no matter where you go, you can always see and use the treasure you put into the backpack. Even if the room disappears, the treasures in your backpack stay with you.

In JavaScript land, the "castle" is like your program, the "room" is a function, and the "treasures" are variables or data that the function uses. A closure is like the magical backpack. It's a special kind of function that remembers the variables it saw when it was created, even after the function it was created inside is done running."
I probably have more of a preservationist urge than most people. But, at some point, you really have to accept that you're not going to preserve (and properly index, provide access, backup, etc.) every word, photo, or video that's been put on media in some form.
I’m not quite sure why you’re bringing up grading on a curve as it’s not mentioned above.

But anyway, it’s tricky to set different exams with the exact same difficulty. So the alternatives to some degree of curving are:

(i) accept that the exam may vary significantly in difficulty from one year to the next, or

(ii) use the same exam every year.

There is no perfect option.
No, that would not work. You can apply a filter and immediately after compute a hash. For now, the fake pictures are rather easy to spot to a trained eye.

I really appreciate your comment, and the analogy with the "word of the day" is spot-on. My target audience consists of individuals who may not be specifically interested in learning programming, but who would benefit from understanding tech jargon in their day-to-day work.

From my experience working with managers and directors, I've noticed that they often lack the time and motivation to get into technical terms and concepts on their own. However, I believe that by receiving an email that presents information in a simple and easily digestible manner, hopefully they can quickly scan through the content and hopefully derive some value from it.
