> And scrollbars are completely different in different browsers - they have different sizes, different behavior, different look-and-feels.

Yes, and? No matter what it is, it's what the users of said platform are used to. Is there really a benefit to forcing users to re-learn such a critical component?

> You wouldn't expect a game to use the system look-and-feel, it rightfully uses a look-and-feel that matches the game itself.

1. Not everything is a game.

2. Depending on the game, system look&feel can be perfectly fine: SimCity 2000, Aurora, the Rule the Waves series, and probably loads of other simulation games all use it, because their art style doesn't require to re-invent the wheel poorly.

3. Games whose art style do need custom look&feel will most likely be using a fullscreen canvas/WebG(L|PU) widget anyway and will be able to use it regardless of CSS support of the feature.
I might be wrong on this, but I don't think Reddit had the concept of subreddits back when HN was started (2007 I think? Where as Reddit started in 2005)

EDIT: Looks like Reddit created subreddits as early as 2006, so there goes that theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Reddit

Wouldn't the solution be to make the data table as wide as it needs to be and use the OS horizontal scrollbar to access the rightmost columns?

It probably breaks the right side of the page grid layout but if there are many columns to see, the ability to see them should grant an exception. I made that choice a few times with my customers. They wanted to see the data in those pages, as if they were in Excel.
that butter page is hilarious haha
Also do you think that if Coinbase admitted that the SEC might take adverse regulatory action in the S1, should anyone be surprised when the SEC actually does?

There are very few in-airport hotels in the US. Most major airports have a bunch of regular chains right next to them with free shuttles but they definitely don’t do hourly nor would they be convenient to because of the inconvenience of the shuttle and being outside of security.
Flying Dog's Raging Bitch has a special place in my heart. It was the beer in my fridge many years ago on the day I got laid off. Got to drink that and watch the Women's World Cup instead of being at my awful job.
I've dealt with this in my own life fairly successfully. Not sure if I'm allowed to respond here (I've just stumbled on this place while participating in the Reddit blackout) - I'll make an on-topic reply if this one goes through..

That'd be much better if you actually need a different behaviour.

Trying to bend the native scrollbar to your will is an exercise in pain.
It's changed for the worse :(

I had to help my grandma get her new laptop up and running for the first time, with Windows 11, and it got to the account screen and there were no hidden/vague options to skip or go local. I assume this is because they detected an internet connection.

She literally had to get an MS account which apparently didn't work because she already had one from the last laptop. MS wanted to send her a recovery code to her email... Which she couldn't access because no computer.

Oh and the amount of opt-in screens after that? 10+ screens. No joke.

It's insane.
There's no way she would be able to use her new laptop if she didn't get 2 hours of help.

>If you hire a lawyer and they tell you that the law is ambiguous and there isn't any relevant caselaw yet, you still have no idea if you're following the law or not.

Then you have a couple of choices with various outcomes. One of which is exactly what is happening to Coinbase right now. You can either 100% unambiguously follow the law, or you can push your luck and adhere to what you think either is or should be the law. In the latter case you may become said case law, whether you are able to continue your current ambiguously legal business practices or not!
Which is straight up what jmbwell was complaining about, as it breaks their workflow such as tapping on the top to scroll to the beginning and everything else they mentioned.
I think one argument against this sort of thing is that it can price out an older person or someone inheriting a property. What's the recommended approach for situations like that? Time for them to sell the ancestral property and downsize?

We've recently added a land tax here in South Australia, but your first property is excluded. The tax was very unpopular with property developers who lobbied aggressively, which could be one sign it's the right direction! It had to factor in ownership of land through shell companies because sometimes developers create an entity per venture.

But I doubt the tax is aggressive enough to really help young aspiring home owners. House prices are still brutal and still growing.
Isn't this incredibly circular reasoning? You're critiquing someone for their action (donations come from selfish need), yet any attempt to make the situation "better" makes it even worse. You're defining their good actions as bad for no apparent reason. The only solution would be not to donate.

Let's apply this reasoning to a different topic - if there is a puppy drowning in a river and somebody jumps in to save it, will you also tell them they are doing it to fulfill a selfish need?
Oh of course, that's why I wrote 'supposedly primitive'.

Other commenters denied racism has anything to do with thinking some people are 'less evolved'. Of course it does, at least for a lot of racists, just look at the Romanian ambassador to Kenya recently recalled over making a 'monkey slur'. Racism is all kinds of different stupid.

My nephew was obsessed with MrBeast. Every device we had was littered with search histories of Mr Beast, and it was infuriating because of how low-brow the content is. It's teaching kids to turn their brains off. People are talking about charity, but they need to actually watch a few videos before commenting... it's really not something you want your kids imitating.
But you see, intuitively we think that the number of upvotes in that model is a “dollar payout” for this post. But actually it isn’t! In a meme community, a post with 1000 upvotes would bring its author 1000 * (1/1000) = 1 dollar, but in a hardcore geek community it would be something like 1000 * 1 = 1000 dollars.

It makes me think, what if the upvote counter was the same, i.e. you have only one upvote per month, and it gets split between all upvoted posts. And maybe it would be nice if you could accumulate your upvotes over several months...
> There are rules for people under the president that are followed for them to disclose information. That doesn't mean the president is restrained under such rules.

This is precisely not the contents of the article, I see you did not read it all.

The article entirely about the president and his ability to declassify.

Are you tying to suggest you know more than the American Bar Association?.

> Hypothetically, suppose you are correct. Which branch of government would you like to be telling the president what he can and can't disclose. DOJ? FBI? CIA? Congress?

I quoted the answer to this, did you not bother reading it?.

>> Some secrets, such as information related to nuclear weapons, are handled separately under a specific statutory scheme that Congress has adopted under the Atomic Energy Act. Those secrets cannot be automatically declassified by the president alone and require, by law, extensive consultation with executive branch agencies.
No, it's just hyperbole.

Using a much more extreme example to make the point (that companies don't automatically have a right to a path to compliance) obvious.
I've done therapy very infrequently for the past 19, 20 years; and "big pharma" wasn't involved. Well, if one doesn't look at CZ producers as big pharma, haha.
a few clarifications (in the industry but not involved with this deal):

* carbon removal credits are a subset of carbon credits

* they are generally considered higher-quality than most other credits (which are "avoided emissions"). This is because, for example, turning on a direct air capture machine, is clearly something that would not happen without the sale of carbon credits.

* there's not always a clear line between carbon removal credits and non-removal (ie "avoided emissions").

* unfortunately the carbon credits that have come under the most fire (nature-based solutions like forestry) are also, technically, closer to being "carbon removal" -- and some sellers play up that ambiguity, to their advantage.
Of course it’s for profit. No one dispute that. But his business involves giving away money. It doesn’t matter if he keeps 50% of the profits for himself and 50% is given away. He’s doing a million times more to help people than anyone on this forum.
But that's ridiculously inefficient compared to just going to the regulatory agency before you do the ambiguous thing and having them clarify it. Except that they won't do it.
Without case law, authorities don't know neither. With the two law suites, Coinbase and Binance, we are goong to find out.

Generally so, if a company works in, or close, to a highly regulated industry it is up to that company to do so in a compliant way. Or generally compliant, there isba tendency of start-ups in Germany complaining about how taxes apply to them as well. If said company is not comoliant, it is on them. And does happen all over the place, to all companies, all the time. For stuff ranging from export, to taxes, to anti-trust and corruption. Only that, say, Lockheed isn't getting any slack when it comes to creative sales techniques.

And compliance costs are costs of doing business. If you cheap out on that, well, ypu deserve what ever is coming your way.
Hm, and he was me thinking myself unburdened for not hanging on to paper copies of books, and yet digital copies could be edited surreptitiously or even very obviously to completely change or "sanitise" to prevent offense, while paper copies would be safe in my bookshelf.

I think this is a great idea! I'm surprised by the vaguely shrouded negativity in the comments. It's so easy to poke holes. This is great work and whatever problems arise can be dealt with at that time.

Here are some of the lazy thinker comments:

- If there's money involved, things go askew!!

Yes, well look: Google, FB, "open"AI etc. etc. What's new? The difference is this is a new approach and could potentially work.

- You make me sign up without showing me the stuff?! The gall..

Sigh...

Choose the right tool for the job.
conda takes up to several minutes to figure out dependencies just to tell you that one library requires an old version of a dependency and another requires a new one, making the whole setup impossible.

mamba can do this much quicker.
Yes, because these chips follow certain design goals the simple examples don't care about. For example, assume you start scaling things up, there is the problem of "load" (aka current). If you look at the chip manuals you will see how much current the inputs require to work, you will see how much max. current the outputs are able to handle, and now imagine you have to wire many of these chips together or drive other stuff with it. This is why for example for LEDs you may need an additional transistor or even a driver IC (for multiple LEDs) to get the LEDs working, because the chip itself is not able to handle the current load. There are things like switching frequencies, current load related stable output voltages which may require replacing passive elements (e.g. resistor) with active ones (diode / transistor), and so on. Read: This goes far beyond the core gate functionality to actually have something usable in a wide range of applications.
They're clearly not trying to sell it as a gaming product. But assuming the device is successful enough, there's nothing stopping Apple from selling controllers as add-ons in the future (for a hefty price of course).
> Wat.

The USA is the world's finance hub because it has the most reliable systems for trading financial assets, and because it has the most reliable currency. But Ethereum network transactions are pretty damn reliable too, even more reliable than wire transfers in some ways (if a bit costly at the moment). Trading on Uniswap is generally more reliable than trading stocks in my brokerage account, and I like how I can bundle multiple trades, borrows and sends together so that they execute atomically, a feature that my brokerage account doesn't support and probably never will. I like that with DeFi, I get to choose my asset-backed loan underwriter separately from my custodian, rather than them both having to be my broker (many of which charge way above market rates for margin loans). Trade settlement happens within seconds, not days. And there has been a cambrian explosion of stablecoin designs, some of them unreliable, some of them quite a bit more reliable than most government currencies.

Is any of it truly better than the current way stocks and currency are traded and held? Maybe, maybe not, but the stakes are much higher than I think most people understand. Distributed ledgers certainly offer some specific advantages that people really sleep on.

> But this doesn't strike me as being done out of any noble purpose

Money given away doesn't have to have a "noble purpose", the act is good in itself. The people receiving it don't care about motive, I don't care about motive, and the only reason you care about motive is because you're threatened by another person doing good. There's no virtue inherent to giving anonymously. A piece of food or a warm house don't care about the intentions of the original owner of the money.

In fact the only reason I could see for someone pushing a narrative of "only some donations are good because of motive" would be to discourage donations, which I'm not sure why anyone would do unless they are utterly evil.
Either you have too high expectations of yourself or you are not grasping the problem/syllabus . It could also be adhd, at this point not enough information. Taking initiative normally happens by itself, it's like your natural ability to prove you understand the issue and express the solution / work just happens.

Do you struggle with everything, even non course related stuff, did you struggle with this in school (different subjects)
I've been watching the videos of the ladybird browser development, and how it improves it's css compatability. I'm eqal parts impressed and aghast. The standards seem overly complex, and very hard to be compliant. It amazes me how so much code is executed to implement css, and how slow it can be requiring great feats of SW engineering to make it peformant while still correct. It's no wonder there are so few independnt browser engines. Surely something a lot simpler and saner could replace it?
I've used reddit since 2007. Anyone who was part of it over a decade agrees with this argument. No facts needed.
For contributors that's already possible by getting award from other people.

I've made big moves, with no plan, and more often than not it's been a good experience. Even the moves I regretted ended up teaching me more about myself.

Wow, so interesting to see the "depth" of anti-python feeling in some quarters. I guess that is the backlash from all the hordes of Python-bros.

Having used both C++ and Python for some time, the idea that managing C++ dependencies is easier than venv and pip install is one of the moments you wonder how credible is HN opinion on anything.

> a compelling non-Python solution appears

Confusing a large ML framework like pytorch that allows you to experiment and develop any type of model with a particular optimized implementation in a low level language suggests people are not even aware of basic workflows in this space.

> also popular

Ofcourse its popular. As in: People are delirious with LLM FOMO but can't fork gazillions to cloud gatekeepers or NVIDIA so anybody who can alleviate that pain is like a deus-ex-machina.

Ofcourse llama.cpp and its creator are great. But the exercise primarily points out that there isn't a unified platfrom to both develop and deploy ML type models in a flexible and hardware agnostic way.

p.s. For julia lovers that usually jump at the "two-language problem" of Python: here is your chance to shine. There is a Llama.jl that wraps Llama.cpp. You want to develop a native one.
The linked source names the mount used, the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer, but yes, you could replicate this in post, except that the frames have exposure times of up to 45 seconds, which would give star trails within individual frames.
Note that the command they use, poll, requires to login first, which means they also had some valid credentials somehow.

For me it was working with other engineers, especially those outside my domain as well. You have to get a bit lucky for such opportunities sadly and the scope will still be limited. You cannot know everything, not even about the topics you specialize in.

If you haven't any unofficial tutors, start some projects. Exchange about a topic on the net can help too. Still remember that you cannot know everything and everyone had to learn how to solve certain problems. You get better with more experience.
Right now, the discussion is all fake. One side insist it is not real, the other that it is and that we will do something then don't. The science is in, and we are basically entering the "find out" stage of "fuck around and find out". I wonder what will happen then? We've had the same basic problem (extreme polarisation) for 100 similar issues in the english speaking world (I'd list housing, inequality, lack of opportunity, over regulation for a start). Maybe we will enter a generation of renewal, or maybe we will sink into obscurity...
Just wait for Apple dominance, and yes, it's coming. Oh boy, dark times ahead for the web and it's people.
I was also an edge user until a few month ago. I have Lenovo X1 Yoga that has had severe overheating problems since I bought it a year ago. Lenovo has been very helpful but unable to resolve the issue. They have changed the mainboard twice.

Then I switch to brave instead of edge and now I don't have overheating issue anymore. When I start edge it won't take many minutes before the laptop gets burning hot.

I guess the bloat has exceeded what the highest spec'd, top of the line, Lenovo laptop can handle.
There's an equivalent in personal finance where people think that a payrise will solve their money woes. Their habits remain, their discretionary spending scales up, and they usually continue on with the same problems.
