The comment that set you off did not comment on political ideologies, political actions, or political stories of the day. There's nothing in there about rightness, wrongness, justice, etc. No candidates were discussed, nobody was attacked, no divisiveness instigated. The commenter merely shared a project with obvious similarities to the posted subject derived from political voting patterns. The route is likely aligned to their values, but even that is an inference!

When everyone around you seemingly makes everything political, maybe it's sometimes the observer and not the observed?

It's probably more genuine than you think, however hard that is to believe.
Or just charge a reasonable price for API access that offsets the lost ad revenue. I think Reddit's ad revenue is something like $0.12/mo for an average user. If their API pricing averaged out to $0.15/month/user they would still be coming out ahead.

This would still hurt free third party apps, but I'm sure power users wouldn't mind paying $1/month to keep their favorite third party app going.

Instead, Reddit went for insane API pricing that app developers can't realistically afford at the subscription rates people are willing to pay.
To be fair, the demo skybox was quite good. If I was a one man studio, I'd be willing to pay for and wait for well made sky boxes.
I would contend that in the context of reporting specifically on a water shortage, a unit like km^2*cm is actually superior to m^3. First of all, that conversion is actually nontrivial to do in your head. Yes, it's easy enough if you're focused on it it (factor of 10,000). Someone who doesn't frequently convert volumes could easily have an off-by-1000 error while casually reading an article. This is a kind of error that science teachers see all the time.

Second, the direct "depth of flooding" value is useful both on the production side (rainfall) and for two of the largest consumers (agriculture and lawn care). The conversion therefore needs to happen twice, which is one of the usual thresholds for delaying the conversion into M-K-S.
Washing your hands after being in a public place is fine, you're not going to create antibiotic resistance with simple hygiene. If you're using hand sanitizer dozens of times a day that's a different story (mostly because it's going to do a number on your skin).
Proper sanitizer - e.g. alcohol with ~70% concentration - is as close to "resistance-proof" as is possible. There's never been any indication of adaptations at that level, it's just too destructive to bacterial cells. Avoid the "alcohol-free" sanitizers since they rely on other chemicals to achieve the same effect but go crazy with the alcohol-based ones.
Note that this wasn't so much about figuring out how to disable Intel ME, which is accomplished by sending an HECI (Host Embedded Controller Interface) command in the same way it has been for ages.

Rather, this was about fixing a buffer management bug in Coreboot which prevented S3 sleep from working with secure boot enabled (basically, coreboot would clobber itself with the TPM log on wake). This bug required System76 to switch to S0ix suspend and in turn, the ME to be re-enabled (as the ME manages some peripherals in S0ix sleep).
I'm not sure I'd believe those numbers. Our house is borderline uninsurable due to wildfire risk, and they give it a 2/10 risk for wildfires.

This project from propublica is also good, but similarly underestimates wildfire risk in our area:

Love speeduino! I'm using it to resuscitate an old 87 corvette in batch injection/ignition mode. Starts up but I've got wayyy more to fix on this old turn.
I've never encountered a hand sanitizer with antibiotics in it. They're alcohol-based, and kill bacteria by destroying their cellular membrane and screwing up proteins inside organisms that absorb it. They're not going to cause antibiotic resistance.

It wasn't clear for months, but yes it did carry on too long.
As a hole, it would only be annoying and a performance penalty for validation. But by its very design, it will leak, and it does in such ways that it became the worst thing to ever happen to Unicode. I don’t know of a single language or library that uses UTF-16 for strings that validates strings: every last one actually uses sequences of UTF-16 code units, potentially ill-formed, and has APIs that guarantee this will leak to other systems. This has caused a lot of trouble for environments that then try to work with the vastly more sensible UTF-8 (the only credible alternative for interchange). Servo, for example, wanted to work in UTF-8, for massive memory savings and performance improvements, but the web has built on and depends on UTF-16 code unit semantics so much that they had to invent WTF-8, which is basically “UTF-8 but with that hole filled in” (well, actually it’s more complicated: half filled in, permitting only unpaired surrogates, so that you still have only one representation).

So: the problem is that the Unicode standard was compromised for the sake of a buggy encoding (they should instead have written UCS-2 off as a failed experiment), and every implementation that uses that buggy encoding is itself buggy, and that bugginess has made it into many other standards (e.g. ECMAScript).

I am building a Web3 RWA Wallet and plan to write a book with it, want to read?
Recently, I signed up for a new Polkadot Hackathon competition. The prize money for this competition is very generous. The first place is about 40,000 US dollars, but I have no idea whether I can win the prize.

In fact, the main purpose of participating in the competition is to create a sense of urgency for me to promote the implementation of my idea. This time I plan to build a Web3 RWA wallet, and this time the code is also directly open source.

This Web3 RWA wallet project is completely open source.

Current project status: #15

During the competition, the code was put here: https://github.com/NftTopBest/hackathon-2023-summer/tree/mai...
After the competition, it will be moved to the Web3Hacker-World organization headquarters: https://github.com/Web3Hacker-World/web3-rwa-wallet

We built SongStitch because we wanted an open source[1] and performant way to generate Last.fm collages (a popular thing to do in the Scrobbling community). Written in go with performance in mind, it allows fast collage generation up to 15x15 grid size — though we could go larger if we run the software on less-modest fly.io machines. Images can also be embedded such that they're always up to date when loaded.

I've certainly used worse apps over the years. My biggest issue is there's just too much shit that Reddit's tacked on over the years that I don't care about. Chats, live streams, live threads, etc. They also harass you with notifications to "check out new post in x sub" and "maybe you should check out this community" and "your post got 5 upvotes!"

I open the app right now and scroll a few posts down, I have a big post-sized box in the feed asking me "What do you want to see more of?" and then a bunch of topics with emojis as options to seemingly mess with my feed. Scroll a few more, and past an ad I see a post from that's "popular in my country" from a subreddit I'm not subscribed to. You click into a thread and it tells you how many people are "here" (I guess viewing the thread? Why would I care?) I've got 6 notifications that Apollo didn't show me which turn out to just be suggested posts from random communities, suggested subreddits to subscribe to, and notifications that my comment got X number of upvotes.

Also the UI/UX on video threads is unintuitive and annoying. As soon as you click into the comments it starts playing the video at the top of the screen, only allowing comments to take up the bottom portion of the screen. And if you click into the video it makes the comments disappear into the bottom of the screen which is fine, but then you think "swipe up to get the comments back" but no, that just swipes you into a random other video like TikTok.

Using the reddit app makes it feel like you're not using reddit.

"Couldn't be real" is a complete misinterpretation of the paper. The "medical establishment" asserts that many diseases are transmitted by aerosol (ie very small droplets), but many more - and especially those similar to covid-19 - are transmitted by larger droplets, which travel less far. This isn't anything trivial as your comment makes it look like.

Having met programmers, I have no such expectation. My long experience is that they care quite a lot about debug information changes; and barely know any of the people involved in language designs and compiler implementations.

Your expectations seem to be based upon the idea that when it comes to Rust the "Hackers" who read Hacker News aren't like programmers, and the "News" is tantamount to soap opera. That's a shame if true.
I think it's too risky for them. The people with the disposable income to pay say $20-50 per year for Reddit are also the most interesting to advertisers. So, if you move to an ad-free subscription model, you'd better be sure that the fees can replace a substantial chunk of the ad revenue.

It was much easier for Google to try this with YouTube because they had plenty of revenue outside YouTube.

Sounds like you've never worked on a project with hundreds or even thousands of backlogged issues that will never be worked on - it is the same as being deleted except is causes visual clutter.
Apollo is and hopefully remains still a thing. I don’t see a promotion of the shit Reddit app here as acceptable because if it’s mobile we’re talking about - unless you have something like Tailscale running on a NAS at home - the pi-hole and ad blocking point is also moot.

The reason Apollo is so successful is because it gives users all the fuss without the noise and Reddit is pushing down noise more and more.
Article glosses over and bundles all programming into seemingly basic applications.

While AI will definitely help build and implement systems and structures, there's definitely still a need, or even more of a need to actually understand systems and their modules, as well as how they interact and operate. Further as we have more black boxes generated with input and output will become more important to have a cohesive understanding of things.

Otherwise we'll have ever growing systems that mirror Idiocracy, complex, interwoven systems that nobody can understand or maintain. Unless of course you believe whenever the LLVM coding replacements tells you everything is just fine and working well!
Cmd-` is pretty inelegant. It disturbs your workspace, bringing all the windows you cycle through to the foreground and leaving them there. You have to play spot-the-difference looking for which window just popped up, then evaluate whether it's the one you want.

Other desktop environments put the window switcher in the center of the screen (so your eyes can unthinkingly jump straight to it), you can quickly tell "hit <tab> four times to get the window I want", and your workspace wasn't disturbed with other windows you aren't interested in.
I’ve been toying with the idea of building a “learn analog electronics” course by having the student build a musical synthesizer one stage at a time, starting with dual tone generators that can be made to deliver frequencies and a selectable wave pattern, then through to evelope filters, modulator (which part of it exists as the wave selection from earlier), and all the controls to make it happen. Not sure if this has been done or if it’s a dumb idea.

Sure, here's one. At the time (~12 years ago), Groupon was a booming business. This newspaper (and many others) decided to try and get in on the action by creating their own local versions of daily deal sites. That team just focused on the local newspaper's version of daily deal probably employed at least 20 people, including resources from the web team that had to build and maintain a deal site akin to Groupon.

All of that in sum likely had a high price tag, and like Groupon itself, eventually puttered and faded away.

Is it their fault for trying to find a way to increase revenue? I don't know. At the same time they were doing that, the newspaper itself (both print and online), was bloated with advertising, to the point where the website was almost unusable.

Yes precisely. The common hand gesture for "stop" is different in the Middle East, it has nothing to do with use of military-specific gestures.
Because it’s only (maybe) a good design if it’s to be read by a human but that’s not a very general case. Instead people unknowingly make for example some exporter for a text format and write code that writes "X={x_coord}" and it passes all the unit tests and all the acceptance tests and then it breaks once it hits a French or scandinavian machine.

A great example how bad it is would be that the C# compiler repo for a very long time had tests that failed for everyone with non-US formatting.
I was hoping someone had found a better way than radiance fields to generate actual 3D models. This is creating 360 panoramic images, which are not "3D" unless I'm missing something. Still impressive tech, though.
Nope. Either there is trust, period, or there isn't. In this case there simply isn't, and if you are non-US person then US government definitely 100% falls into that category.

Kinda tangential but I wonder, as successful as they've been in their niche (I presume, based on how prolific the branding is) I wonder if they would be better positioned to make a Linux phone where the others have fallen flat?

I doubt they'd want to step onto that minefield, but I wouldn't be able to help but get excited if such a project ever materialized.

Anyone can be permanently bearish (it works both ways - the permanent market cheerleaders are just as bad in reverse) and then go on CNBC and tell everyone they correctly called every recession or bear market.

Typically these people have called 176 of the last 8 recessions.

I hate UTF-16 and the systems that use it with a passion, but...

Windows and Java (and Javascript) adopted unicode at a time when it was thought that 64k code points would be enough for everyone. Then they prioritized backwards compatibility over anything else. Most of us have benefited from their insistence on backwards compatibility in some form or the other, so I'm really not in a position to complain about it :-/

That said, IMHO any "length" property (as opposed to `codepoints` or `bytes`) on a UTF-16 string should definitely be deprecated.

Both probably. I’ve lived in Utah and California (among other states) and I would characterize both as having the majority of their politicians unreasonably secure in their jobs and power. In Utah, most of the politicians were more at risk of losing your seat due to a primary challenge from someone further right than you than general election. In California they have at least fixed that a bit with open primaries, so at least the moderate people can make it to
the general election. In both states, at least, the governors tend to be slightly more moderate than the rest of the politicians.

It is possibly true that the unreasonably secure don’t make up more than 50% of the votes, I’m not sure.
If the dust bowl is any indication, you'll have a period of time where people suffer followed by new technology and investment to address the problem long term.
