It's very hard to actually write good UX from scratch, particularly stuff like scrollbars that require all sorts of relative resizing, drag listeners, velocity methods, second and tertiary controls (keyboards, drag-selection of text) and often need to handle those things after a variety of user interactions without redrawing their content or slowing anything down by constantly remeasuring the rest of the UI.

Because it's difficult, it's often done poorly, which leads to people thinking it should never be done at all.

To your point about games, I find most custom-written scrollboxes in games to be pretty terrible, but we all kind of appreciate them just for their uniqueness, because as UX items they're generally not something you interact with that much. (Unless you're playing Crusader Kings, in which case ... )

I remember being disgusted and offended by Apple's app developer rules two decades ago, which included dictates such as never implementing your own UX elements like scrollbars. We're still debating whether they were wrong. As long as there are bad ways to build UX elements, some people will do them, and this will serve as proof for a few big companies that it should never be done.
Since his non-German internet presence isn't great and iirc there's no Wikipedia article abut him I'd like to mention Georg „Schorsch“ Tscheuschner of "Schorschbräu" fame. He's quite the character and famous in German (home-)brewing circles because he's always chasing those high percentages (via the mentioned ice technique called Eisbock in German). His creations include the world's strongest Lager (16%) a pretty stronger Weizen (13%) and his high percentage entry, the Schorschbock (57%).
You can do the processing in a worker. Maybe even offload it to the client. If there is a live stream a pretrained machine learning model could be used and it could infear who will like what
Not all humans even complete language acquisition, so that’s a bold statement you’re making.
In a couple of small, wealthiest countries in Europe (Scandinavian countries, Switzerland), sure. But everywhere else, if you go for the dream and fail, you'll be barely making a living. Whereas in the US, you can fail and likely still land a $40k-50k job doing whatever. In Europe, managers in serious firms often don't make $50k.

Also, serious health problems before 40 are really rare.

I absolutely do waste time on Reddit, but I've learned so much about helpful topics: personal finance, cooking, parenting, etc.

Personally, I need some time each day to relax, which involves passive content consumption. Between watching TV, reading the news, or reading Reddit, I would argue that Reddit is the "least bad" option.

You're right that I'm not getting that time back, but it's not time I would have used productively anyway, and at least I'm learning something.
They are not 'scare quotes' because it is a literal quote of Rep. Warren Davidson. One of the people who introduced the act the paragraph is talking about. It helps explain the purpose of the act and the position the people who wrote it in their own words.

> I'd much rather perform my acts of charity publicly for the same reason I like open source coding: to get feedback so I can do it better.

What kind of feedback can you get when the donation is not anonymous that you can't otherwise? I really can't think of anything.

> Anonymous charity is more often than not even more a road towards satisfying a selfish need. It elevates the sense that what you're doing is more just because it is anonymous so "surely I can't be doing it to make a show of it" except this perverse thinking often leads to elevating one's own desire to feel righteous above, y'know... Actual proof that the charity works and does any good.

Yea, one can know if charity works without putting their name to it...
I think you're totally right with this, just to add - it's often possible to do a lot of things that are neat in hardware but create difficult problems in software. Virtually always when this happens it turns out to be nearly impossible to actually create software that takes advantage of it. So it's massively important to have a closed loop feedback system between the software and hardware so that the hardware guys don't accidentally tie the software up in knots. This is common in companies that consider themselves hardware companies first.

It's the science envy. Psychology (despite the replication crisis) firmly established itself as a hard science. Taking the classical distinction of psychology as based on the individual, and sociology on the emerging properties of social systems, we cannot simply infer that the properties of the individual align to social situations.

I think we in the social sciences with our departure from positivism are unable to produce clear laws, or direct applications, we're more concerned with understanding, and not explaining.

I think I am just expanding on your point.
> Under such a system, no leader will ever lead

That's the whole point. It elects spokespersons, not leaders. It's a wonderful idea.

I believe the motivation for providing the HN API was partly to discourage people from scraping the site and wasting their bandwidth. If the API goes away people will just go back to scraping.

Same for Reddit and that's why their point about all apps being freeloaders is disingenuous. If there is no API people will scrape which is inefficient and costs more bandwidth than API access and Reddit will have to implement countermeasures which is also not free.
So sad you can’t use a scroll bar to scroll through the scroll bars.

Also sad that the current direction is to hide them until you mouse over.
Do you mean by being uprooted to different places as a child? This happened to me but I put down new roots and made long-term friends as an adult. I'd think the advice for people lacking roots would be the same as for anyone who lacks friends and/or has lost connections? There are also people who lived in an area all their life but maybe friends moved away etc and they found themselves lonely. Seems to me an answer is get involved with things - volunteering, sports, arts, music etc, and for those religious faith, get involved with that, church or otherwise, as long as its a diverse inclusive tolerant supportive community.
Did you know there is a dedicated partition in the eMMC called RPMB that makes it possible to store data with integrity and authenticity support? In this article, we will learn what the RPMB partition is and how it works, its main use cases, and how to access it on Linux.
It's a pet peeve of mine when people put stuff like this in a project's `.gitignore`. The proper place is either your global gitignore (probably appropriate for stupid stuff like this) or in your clone in `.git/info/exclude`.

`.gitignore` is for stuff that all developers need to ignore, like compiler output, and should be kept to the bare minimum.

I think that’s largely because there’s no job out there titled “CSS developer”. CSS is expected to be one thing among 14 others that a developer is expected to know.
There are some of us who say that it definitely does, and that it was reprehensible of Paramount executives to sit through a pitch, reject it, and then direct their writers to create exactly the same concept for their own existing franchise. It cost the Babylon 5 makers considerable money and reputation. It was abuse of privileged information.
I tried using bags and a bread box and neither worked for me so now I eat what I can when it's hot and after it's cooled down I freeze it in plastic food bags that are recycled from food stuffs I have bought. Reheating it in the oven at a lower temperature works great for me.

I've been eager to share this talk online for so long, now, finally, that day has come. I'm happy to hear your opinion on it!

The topic of the talk -- I think we're not playing enough -- comes straight from my heart, I believe that we should play much, much more.

If you're interested in checking them out, here are the projects I talk about in the talk:

- Perspectives in Play, board games that help kids learn about politics: https://www.perspectives-in-play.com/de

- Creactivities, a chatbot that trains our creative muscles: https://www.creactiviti.es/

- aicracy, a critical design project about an AI-governed society: https://www.aicracy.net/

(They all were previously on HN, but only aicracy was discussed in greater depth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34577617)

Looking forward to hear what you think! :-)
I at one point made up my own encryption scheme. Basically XOR:ing with a repeating password, but I was swapping nibbles in a (what I thought) clever scheme making it "very hard" to break it. The sweet child I was.
"Theory of the nucleus" does not necessarily imply just QED+QCD in this context. It can mean something derived from QED+QCD - the theory of which elements of the calculation can be thrown out from the QED+QCD calculations. That would be hardly the first theory which is a derived theory from a more fundamental theory. So the headline is fine? For once Quanta was less clickbaity than the preprint.
That's the fault of whoever owns the other computers. If a user ever littered files all over my computer I would revoke write access until they fix their shit.
The top dos and don'ts of building a product experience,

Ning and Ryan kicked off answering audience questions around why user insights and building products based on user feedback are crucial PM considerations.

You can watch the full event on YouTube here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hheqaCSpZS8&feature=youtu.be

Key takeaways

On the do's and don'ts of building a product experience

High-level, here are a few takeaways:

1. Don't sacrifice user insights for speed. Find ways to get user insights and ship quickly.
2. Don't leave stakeholders out of the loop. Make insights accessible to all stakeholders.
3. Don't rely on NPS alone.
4. Don’t chase shiny new features above focusing on continuous UX metrics and prioritizing core product experience improvements.

1. Do rapidly iterate on your product experience. Launch features in small groups and quickly iterate based on user feedback.
2. Do get to know your users. Understand the "why" behind user behavior and use tools like Sprig to gather fast user insights.
3. Do set up continuous UX metrics and prioritize core product experience improvements.
4. Do establish a customer advisory board or design partner program for continuous user insights.
5. Do implement a process for rapid iteration on product experience based on user feedback.
It is youtube who decided that they were willing to allow and encourage it. He is their mascot.

That's indeed the gist of Douglas' remark.

But if you have not much experience beyond JS, that is very hard to recognize.

Douglas is grey and old. Most JS devs are on the younger side of the IT work force.
That's because GDPR explicitly isn't meant to be a law that protects against governments but against private entities. There's nothing "protectionist" about that.
Beg to differ, some beers age really well. A few years back I bought a couple of cases of gueuze that I'm keeping in a cellar. Every few months I drink one and it's now 8 years old. The evolution has been quite nice so far.
i am on the fence with this drama. while i have been struggling with using reddit for past few years, especially on mobile browser, i would like to see the company push through their objectives.

to me, this situation highlights how much power mods have over a subreddit. while i recognize their role in maintaining communities without pay, the community exists because of all users that contribute to it. it didn't seem like the communities had much say in the subreddits going offline, which is very concerning.
I agree 100%. I've learned many useful things that are hard to learn elsewhere, like personal finance and cooking.

Sure, I can look up recipes pretty much anywhere on the internet, but the community for cooking tips has been awesome. (Simple example: "you should add nutmeg to make alfredo sauce taste better")
North Korea’s Hacker Army Stole $3B in Crypto
To be honest, this happens with every other technology. When the railways came, you can imagine what the horse and pony carriage riders must have felt about their employment. When commercial airplanes came, the railway engineers must have felt the same.

And it's not as if none of those new technologies had any disaster potential. Those disasters indeed came to be and we kept improvising in turn as we learned from our mistakes.

While it's true that AI/ML has a great potential for disasters, it's equally true that we are becoming more and more aware about it. If anything AI related becomes part of mass consumption, rest assured that regulations and policy guidelines will also come accordingly to prevent any abuse or negative effects of the technology.
Haha. Thanks for writing it. I appreciate your and every leftpad porter's effort. :-) It makes for a perfect little dependency test with a standardized name. (Standardized up to /left[_-]?pad/i.) When a language doesn't have a leftpad package, I go looking for a concise way to make terminal text bold, which takes more time.

Plus, seeing code like https://github.com/colinrymer/leftpad.ex/blob/8d2230bf094eed... is just fun:

defmodule Leftpad do

@moduledoc """
Remembering `String.rjust/3` can be difficult, so Leftpad provides you
another way to easily left pad/right justify your UTF-8 encoded binaries.
"""

@doc ~S"""
Provides basically the same functionality as [`String.rjust/3`](http://elixir-lang.org/docs/stable/elixir/String.html#rjust/3)
## Examples
iex> Leftpad.pad("foo", 5)
" foo"
iex> Leftpad.pad("foobar", 6)
"foobar"
iex> Leftpad.pad("1", 2, ?0)
"01"
"""
@spec pad(string :: String.t, count :: non_neg_integer, char :: char) :: String.t
def pad(string, count, char \\ 32), do: String.rjust(string, count, char)
end

Look at that one line doing all the work, and even it delegates it to another function.

They are not required to do so, no.

However, abusing retroactive enforcement does create a pretty clear case that the SEC is not interested in forming a regulatory framework for the exchange of digital commodities - instead preferring to import securities frameworks and punishing participants in the nascent industry.

Why should anyone reasonably believe the SEC has intentions to allow crypto to exist, and that coinage just did it wrong?
Not being in California is not a reason you wouldn't know it.

If you ever looked up the history of beer in the US or US beer styles you would know it. All the people in the craft beer industry certainly do. Maybe the craft beer drinkers in parts of the country don't know it but Steam/California Common is one of the few original US beer styles. And Anchor was one of the first in the modern craft beer revolution.

Good point. What's a little quater/midlife crisis in addition to all the other major crises going on the world simultaneously? Haha. :)
I appreciate this comment - I'm going to walk outside and do the same.

Tonight I did talk to real people (strangers at a bar) and had a good long conversation about the world. We need that. But also just to look away from the screen and see each other, That is most important. Thanks.
I agree with everything except the last sentence. Reddit does want to push you towards the use of /r/all (or similar) because that's they get more time in front of your eyeballs. The design of the product is pushing you towards that view of everything, so that you end up doing the endless-scrolling thing.

I'm interested by the direction Lemmy (or a similar system) might take. At the moment it's a Reddit-lite clone, which is completely reasonable because that's what people are looking for. But maybe with a different set of incentives (presumably more user-centric), over time it might morph into something different?
Not so sure about HP. I mean yeah, their inkjet ploy still pays for itself I suppose, but at this point I consider home photo printing as basically dead, killed by greed, and those printer divisions as little more than autonomous external marketing divisions for those ubiquitous b/w Brother boxes.
The hexagon NSP is reasonably well suited for running ML in general. I know it's used for some image/CV use cases and I think it will work well for language models, but maybe suboptimal for the recent large ones.

This processor shows up in both snapdragon SoCs and cloud ai 100.
I think Python and R are generally superior (in terms of developer experience) when you have to do end-to-end ML work, including acquiring and munging data, plotting results etc. But even then, the core algorithms are generally implemented in libraries built out of native code (C/C++/Fortran), just wrapped in friendly bindings.

For LLMs, unless you're doing extensive work refactoring the inputs, there are fewer productivity gains to be had around the edges - the main gains are just speeding up training, evaluation and inference, i.e. pure performance.
This hahah
That's interesting. Some DOS clones had a different FAT format?
There need to be new laws that explicitly hands over all permissions relating to a device, to the purchaser. Make it illegal to require apps or accounts for purchased devices, and make it a requirement that they can be rooted.

There is no way to escape this other than through the law. Because accounts give these companies recurring monetization that in theory, last as long as the device itself.

Honestly, I also want similar legislation around Ebooks. We should be allowed to legally rip the books out of a service and keep them as PDFs. It makes is incredibly easy to just read-aloud with a text to speech device.
Yes, absolutely. It's a close binary, where you can get 90% or more the way to the truth by modelling the stars as a single object at their barycenter. TOI-1338 A is a star slightly larger than the sun, and TOI-1338 B, which is a star with ~a third of Sun's mass orbits it in 14 days. This is basically touching as far as stars go.

This is a bad take, because many products are not free, and you still get shafted with surveillance, ads and more. Windows is one example, but there's also cable TV subscriptions, smart TVs, many modern games on phones and PC.
you will find similar quotes in other religious. Most of them disapprove of what he is doing. I m assuming by extension that most people (religious or not) disapprove status-seeking philanthropy.

I dont think i 'm jealous because i would never do something similar, i just find it unethical
> because the higher the prices, the more employees in the public sector pay

i dont' quite get the rationale for this claim - are you saying that higher property prices somehow increases public sector pay? And why is public sector job vacancy have anything to do with the price of real estate?
> But this is not an intrinsically useful goal; there's a reason software libraries were invented.

No need to denigrate those who don't need to import all their code; it's perfectly fine to not rely on third parties when developing software - some of our best works result from this.
No, it's not a sin. Just don't call it altruism or philanthropy because it's an insult to others who are really doing it without selfish reasons or profits.

Btw he is not "earning money by helping people", he is "helping" people to earn money.
What does that have to do with the price of butter?

Coinbase isn't being sued because it's trading Eth. It's being sued because it's trading a lot of things that aren't BTC or Eth.
Right, it was better when only those who deserved it could fly or get on the internet.

And the definition of “deserved it” is “having more money than everyone else”.

Who cares if that money was made by exploiting people or selling shonky goods or breaking promises or tricking people or otherwise being an asshole?

Go on, take that flight. Buy that shiny thing. You worked hard for that money. You’re better than they are. You deserve it.

>I need some time each day to relax, which involves passive content consumption.

"Passive content consumption" is a very recent phenomenon which doesn't allow our brains to relax and process information. It merely maintains the state of over-stimulation.

You need it a lot less than you think! Go and do something else, like stare out of your window, or sharpen your kitchen knives, or fix your todo list.
It's much harder to start using drugs if they are illegal. I, for example, have no idea where to buy heroin in my city. But buying alcohol and cigarettes is not a problem - just go to the nearest grocery store.

I’m not sure that’s true. The N haplogroup is indeed mainly only extant in the Baltic States, Finland and northern Scandinavia but they are more likely to be descendants of Eastern Hunter-Gatherers rather than West European ones.
