OS’s are not always 100% internally consistent but every OS vendor is striving towards that.

Finally I agree that the OS should not natively style a web page (although as I said I’m in favor of user overrides). A scroll bar is not a web page. It’s an OS level interface element.

Would you really want a big government agency to decide on the merit of your business ehen you IPO? That seem like a good way to increase IPO's hurdles and slow down innovation.

I’m lazily designing a Reddit replacement, can’t really build one while I’m still employed and may never build it.

If you’re not chasing infinite growth, or even if you are but want to set the right culture at the outset, I think the HN moderation model is ideal. Just delete low quality and blatantly offensive posts and ban repeat offenders. You don’t need some complicated mechanism for implementing restorative justice or scaling moderation via community moderation teams, you just don’t want those users to post

4chan is filled with people asking easily googleable questions and the user base generally seems to be about 17. I know that’s the age when I visited the site the most (thank god it was before the 2016 election which irrevocably ruined the site). It has a very low bar for discussion and the signal/noise ratio is terrible unless you’re willing to wade through piles of shit to find a gem here and there.

4chan for sure has useful insights like a very low (captcha) barrier to use the site and a very low-ego culture. But the discussion quality is actually abysmal

Looks like yet another attempt at regulatory capture.
The author is using this as a unit of thermal energy being absorbed, not as a measure of deaths:

> As of March, 2023, on an annualized basis, the EEI was 1.61 Watts per square meter. That might not sound like a lot, but on a global basis it is about equal to the energy released from 13 Hiroshima sized nuclear bombs exploding every second.

That "1.61 Watts per square meter" figure does sound low to someone who thinks in terms of 60 Watt light bulbs. Thinking of it on the scale of nuclear bombs being dropped may give people pause to reflect on the magnitude of the rate of energy being absorbed.
Ask HN: How to live a alcohol/drug free lifestyle?
I've been working on giving up alcohol and drugs (weed). I've curtailed my want to smoke weed, by understanding that it mainly comes from the place of escapism. Its a great way for me to procrastinate.

Alcohol has been more tricky. Hanging out with friends, going out for dinner, work place happy hours, celebrating professional and personal accomplishments, even something as simple as going out at night means going to a bar. I've been getting better at successfully navigating these events, but some of them just involve having a drink or 2. After all of this, there are hangovers and I hate those.

Personally, I've found that holding a drink also serves as a great way for me to get over my social anxiety. These days at parties I'll go through like multiple diet cokes, soda waters and waters. I find 0 alcohol beers and mocktails to be absolutely trash. I don't care for the taste, and without the effects of alcohol, I'm just chugging sugar water.

Currently my goto drinks are:
1. Bitters with soda water
2. Diet Coke / Coke Zero
3. Soda water / seltzers with a slice of lime
4. Just water
When I switched from Azure to AWS I just had to learn AWS specifics and then could use my existing TF knowledge to put it in code. No need to learn CDK as well. If I ever end up working in GCP, it will hopefully be the same.

If you solely work with one cloud and don't intend on switching cloud providers or working in a context where multiple cloud providers are used, then by all means specialise. Personally I'm working as a software engineer, so I don't really care in which cloud it runs, as long as I can provision whatever resources I need.
gtk has forced overlay scrollbars now. Its possible to enable normal scrollbars again with a flag right now, but for how long?

edit: they are removing the flag from gtk 4: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790677#c6

gtk is effectively a gnome project now, and we all know gnome's attitude toward design and users.
It won't, this was discussed at BUILD 2023, and they have no plans to do so as they would need to duplicate the API surface of many low level capabilities.

I don't know about the clean air act.

My understanding of the Montreal protocol is not that corporations decided to follow regulations from their good hearts, but that they managed to play the clock long enough to have better and cheaper alternatives anyway [1].)

That being said, of course I do believe regulation help - but, slowly, reluctantly, and with every interest fighting tooth and nails.

Therefore, I'm still shocked that a regulation would be _that_ successful (75% reduction of anything in two years is unbelievable.)

However, if insurers are more powerful than activist, that should give some ideas. How can you make premiums for fossil fuels plants get so high that no insurer would touch them ?

They're also using Discord for official comms, which kills it for me. Even if they release their source properly, I doubt you'll ever get them off Discord, and I would never go there for help.
Ah, ok. Completely different from what I was thinking with regards to scrollbars/css. Thanks!
> maybe they should?

Why? That’s investors’ jobs. Coinbase disclosed the risk that their entire operations may be illegal.
It doesn't. For example - all mastodon's "private" messages are unencrypted and server owners can read them.
You are charging the people who volunteer content for your site. You’ve got this completely backwards. PAY money for the privilege of giving you value? No thanks.
Same argument for why we should use tabs over space when accessibility seems squarely focused on the blind and screen readers when visual impairment is a broad spectrum. My eyesight isn’t ‘bad’, but it isn’t what it used to be and with so many code bases using 2-space indentation, I wonder why this isn’t configurable as I have a lot of difficulty discerning the contrast when it’s so shallow.
I've not pushed the concurrency at all but I think it creates a lock file in storage which gives basic concurrency management.

The self hosted backend does have plenty of wringles though like not supporting the same stack name across different projects with the same backend URL contrary to how the hosted backend works.

Nonetheless it has been perfectly usable for us without paying for their hosting.
> Within an app, the challenge would be identifying they occupy the same space and mapping into the same coordinate system. Easier for VR mode than AR mode, where your mapping can be pretty arbitrary to the available bounds

Absolutely. It's impressive work on Meta's side that the full ecosystem of headsets natively support this in AR mode already [0]. It will be interesting to see if Apple has this figured out, or if they can ship in time for release. The fact they didn't demo it suggests to me that they are still in catchup mode here. But then, there are a lot of things they didn't demo that came out in the technical talks later.

In that system how do you create a ranked list of content for a user to browse? Isn't it going to be very heavy on processing demand?
There is only one thing worse than having a lot of browsers to target, and that is NOT having a lot of browsers to target.
You misunderstood what the comment in the code was saying.

Firstly, it not that anti-virus software was misclassifying it -- it's that a particular one, Mcafee, was USING sqlite. And more importantly, it didn't put the file(s) in the proper %temp% folder. Instead, it created it as `C:\temp\{name}.sqlite_`. This is why users found them suspicious and complained to devs.

Also keep in mind putting random files or folders under root of C:\ was, while never recommended, a common practice in 2000s (some still do so even today). So what Mcafee was doing is hardly unheard of. But people still freak out when they see these in their C:\ (TBH, understandable).

I had someone working for me once who was hard working, pleasant, willing, but just not apparently able to do the sort of logic that programming needs. We spent many many hours working together on trying to change this, but to no avail. He's subsequently done well for himself on the management side I think.

It is just possible that your brain isn't wired for this kind of work, and to my mind there is no shame in that.

You're clearly a decent communicator, so maybe work on that.
One of their jobs is to protect consumers from unregulated securities.

The earlier they act, the better, and right before IPO is the most impactful time they could intervene.

> In this case they would’ve been content with the disclosure that the entire business was at risk of being regulated

They don't have to do it, but they could make that risk disappear and it would be very good if they did so. So I wish they did have to make those decisions, unless there's some huge downside.
I really like the idea of using a proper programming language to describe infrastructure, but Pulumi isn’t quite what I thought it could be.

Say your app is satirizing flashy magazines with a funky magenta-and-yellow color theme. Would you like a gray scrollbar in the middle of the page? Or, if your app is a medieval role playing game with a wooden theme for the UI, would you expect flat gray scrollbars to work well?
It would be absurdly burdensome and expensive for the government to have to advise people on how to follow the law when they're not following the law. If you're not sure how to follow the law, get an expert in the law! That's why there's a regulated profession that explicitly provides expert advice on following the law.

I don't want to press too far, because I don't think you actually meant it, but...it's like you're advocating for socialized lawyers. Which is definitely an interesting idea!

If the output of prompts can be improved with "think step by step", "tree of thoughts", etc., one can produce high quality training data with the LLM itself which the next iteration of that model can use. Rinse and repeat.
I mentioned noticing it several months ago, but it sounded like others hadn't seen it yet. It's always hcaptcha (or at least the atrocious ones are, maybe the others are just super good).

I have the same thought at first, it's really amusing to think that they expect me to select silly wrong things to pass a test and mistrain their system. I like to hope.

Alas, statistically they can totally do this by showing the same images to multiple people so that they can estimate what most people like and then define a threshold outside which they predict that it's not a human. One dimension is related to their AI tuning variables or whatever, the other is related to their analog signal from human measurements of the same images. They surely do this already since humans also have noise in their responses to a survey with anything that's not obvious.

They can still apply on-off thresholding to the analog signal that is a survey over many participants. It still gives these ridiculous gas-lighting training systems though.

One thing that's probably true -- they're finding out what the lowest quality image is that people will identify as something, which is unique. Usually people vote for what they like best, but if the stupid thing forces you to click on a certain number they can adjust that threshold.

Maybe they intend to touch up subsections of images such that they're closer to these minimum quality thresholds, who knows... just something different.
I'm sure many people do. There are tons of apps to scan and parse invoices. Makes sense as the current mid range phone cameras work just as well as mid range scanners but don't take any space and do that job an order of magnitude faster.
Why don't you test your theory by walking up to some people and calling them slurs. See if they all shrug it off because at least you're not a cop shooting them.

It's not about how you feel paying your gran; it's about how she feels being paid by you.

The key factor is that people who have a sense of belonging or ownership will donate their time and expertise. People on /r/AskHistorians go to extreme lengths to provide ultra-high-quality answers for free because that's what it takes to be part of that community. The one time I felt like I actually had something to contribute I started my comment (a reply to another comment, there's zero chance I'll ever be qualified to provide a top-level response) with "It's an amazing day, I actually have something to contribute here!" And many people start their comments that way.

A paid environment -- especially one where the compensation is likely to be trivially small -- is far less likely to engender that sort of participation and support.

Get a metro card or a bike asap. Note that the bikers in Copenhagen are quite fast so you better brush up your skills.

When you register your residency, your municipality is obliged to provide Danish lessons to you in some way. Take advantage of this. It’s a good way to meet new people.

Be prepared for the weather. Besides darkness, Denmark also exports rain, so have something to wear at all times.

Make sure that your curtains or blinds are actually good. In the summer months, the sun is shining for almost 18 hours, and even after sunset and before sunrise there’s quite a bit of light. The quality of your sleep will deteriorate if you are bombarded with sun and don’t get enough of it.

If you are a student, know that life can be expensive, getting a student job will help and you will make some acquaintances.

Don’t expect to mesh with the Danes quickly, the Danish society is very tight knit, but if you find yourself getting invited to hang out with a few people at an apt, it’s a good thing! It means you are becoming part of the group!

Danes can be brutally honest, so be prepared for that. It’s not because they intend to be mean, it’s because such is their society. They don’t intend malice, but they provide constructive criticism and you will find them to be quite friendly!

Get acquainted with the language asap; use anki cards and watch shows on Netflix to learn the sounds. As you get better, switch to audio description and you will improve your skills quite quickly.

Hope I helped!
Heroin, as in heroin derivates, are not illegal. That's what a lot of hard, medical painkillers are.

Same goes for weapons in some of the countries with the most restrictions on gun sales and ownership, it is still perfectly legal to sell military grade weapons to the military in those countries.

Funny, how HN seems to qctively failing to understand how regulations and compliance works as soon as they themselves, or one of theirs, is negatively affected by them...
> Would you really want a big government agency to decide on the merit of your business ehen you IPO?

I said the exact opposite of that. Please look at the second sentence again.

I want them to decide if I'm trading securities, especially when "this might be considered a security" is in my S1. Nothing more.
Most likely, Covid19 was introduced into USA from World Military Games[0], or from Russia in October-November 2019.

If someone went to Novosibirsk to check situation after blast at BSL4 lab "Vector", then (IMHO!) he may contracted the virus and spreaded it in USA after return, which (IMHO!) explains why USA three letter agency covers that blast.

Yes, the poor guy that needs to jump in for:

- understanding stack traces

- writing idiomatic bindings for libraries

- debugging why Java frameworks fail consuming jar files whose bytecode was generated in a different way

- debugging why a jar misbehaves after a JVM bytecode rewriting tool messed up the bytecode sequence used to emulate other language semantics on top of the JVM

- adopting libraries whose compiler plugins and annotation procesors only understand Java semantics

- mapping debuging information and telemetry data from tooling like JFR into the original code of the guest language.

The reason for not doing a full programming language for that is that you can prove the infrastructure is finite with a simple template language, but you can’t if your template language can do conditional branching.

Or something like that. My CS-fu is admittedly weak.

OTOH, I think Lisp would be the perfect choice for IaC.
