Fully agree. Seems like the author pointed out one thing - that there are increasing numbers of units usable in CSS, doesn't really talk about why that's bad, and then wraps it up.

I think there's a general anxiety some devs have about how much CSS has been developed in the past few years, and I think that partially comes from not being able to keep track of all the changes anymore. Like it wasn't uncommon a few years ago to have a few CSS experts on your team that felt comfortable with every single thing in the CSS spec, but now that's becoming a little less common as the spec and implementation in browsers evolve and grow. But I think that doesn't mean there's a "tragedy" of CSS. I think it means CSS is becoming more complex, but to me it's generally been in the right direction.

Deeply relying on any service provider for anything puts you in a very vulnerable position regardless of how excellent that provider is. Things change, company priorities shift, companies get acquired by other companies, go out of business, etc. Current performance is not a guarantee of future performance.

Sometimes, you have to accept that vulnerability. I have exactly one option for getting electrical service, for example. But in general, people should avoid this sort of arrangement to the greatest degree possible.

Especially for something where there are tons of other options, like home automation.
At the risk of adding further low quality content, right here and now, this proposed "Mythical Mom Month" book is an intriguing pitch.

Do you have a more detailed pitch sheet? :)
Yeah, that part where they were breaking down a window of a locked door in an attempt to get into the house inner chambers to attempt to impede the democratic process of the United States was totally a protest and not an insurrection.

The folks who were non-violent never made it inside the capital because they were there to protest? They were protestors.

The other ones? They were insurrectionists and they all deserve prison.
You frame the argument the way you want it to end.

CSS is a fraction of the US fast chargers; NACS is a fraction of the total US EV chargers.

NACS is used by 2/3rds of the existing BEV fleet; CSS/J1772 is used by 2/3rds of the existing plug-in EV fleet.
I think I was unclear, that's my bad. I'm not talking about the average person "protesting" that way, I'm saying that Reddit is already flooded with illegal and ad-unfriendly stuff, the mods are the ones who spend their days picking up that trash. If you open the subs, but the mods are still on strike (and forcibly opening their subs is unlikely to change that) then who's doing the janitorial work?

I'm not a mod, but I have several friends who are, and you wouldn't believe the sheer amount of gross nonsense they have to sift through. Even ignoring the relatively banal death threats, there are always questionable elements trying to sell drugs (both Rx and other), running scams, offering malware, and worse.

In the UK the purpose of copyright was originally to give the King's approved publishers a monopoly on published material. The copyright was literally a right to copy, to operate a printing press.

Even today, in France copyright is seen as a droit d'auteur, a moral right to a work you have simply by being the author of the work. Forget promoting cultural works for the public's benefit. As the author you are entitled even to determine who may even see the work, and how they may see it. You can go full Prince and lock your magnum opus in a vault, that is a right that is legally and morally respected.

It's only in the USA where the justification of copyright is to "promote the progress of Science and the useful Arts", and so we feel entitled to other people's work.
It will be amusing when they try to depose God to ask them about whether or not they assign pronouns to everyone at birth.

Even more amusing if God is called to testify in court.
I consider the web's growth in capabilities a positive because it's the only independent computing platform we have, despite Google's large influence on it.

Even if web tech is sometimes messy, these days it can be used to build almost anything you can think of, which is good, as it should cater to a very broad set of needs. I'm fine with there being 26 size units, even if I only use 2.

I think the true tragedy of CSS is that most developers suck at it. They only know it superficially or feel they don't need to learn it deeply because they're using a CSS framework or some crude CSS-in-JS hack. Others might be genuinely interested in learning it, but can't find the time for it, and stick to what they know.

As a result, many spectacular improvements in CSS largely go unused. Even something that can be used for 5 years now (CSS grid) is rarely used today and you'll be hard-pressed to find a developer that deeply understands its possibilities.
I think I've seen both CTF levels and puzzlehunt puzzles based on partially obscuring a QR code, precisely so that it "doesn't decode in the regular scanning apps", and then challenging people to read it anyway.
How do you prevent users from posting artwork by other people and stealing money from the real content creators?
Oh by all means I would just boot into Windows or have a separate PC for video games if I cared about them. Not worth messing with emulation unless you find it fun.
It's a tangled mess. If the companies are voluntarily cooperating, it's not as simple as calling them contractors. Look at all the covid/Biden subject matter censorship that was going on for an example. These companies invited the agencies in for reasons; they became willing tools of government censorship. There's no crime in it unless the government is coercing them. If you've interacted with the agencies, you know that coercion can be very subtle and light-touch. It can also be unofficial bargaining to the look the offer to look the other way or the threat to look intensely in one direction or another. Point is, you're rarely going to see a demand letter on the record requiring compliance outside of the warrant system (including FISA). The agencies know they can't compel private companies or state governments to do their work legally, so they work within the gray areas.
I think that Apple’s own needs are an under explored motivation for their high end hardware. I think that the biggest customer of the old iMac Pro was probably Apple themselves. I think the new rack mounted Mac Pro will see heavy use by Apple for making content for the Vision Pro.

I have no idea what the camera systems for VR content are or will be but I imagine that a Mac Pro loaded with several video capture cards and high speed PCIe 4 SSDs would make an ideal capture system.

Now imagine what would be required to stream a live sporting event in 4k VR. How many different cameras, angles, etc. are there in a production like that? How many racked Mac Pros would that require?
Instead of a splash page, I'd recommend making a box that shows as like, top 2 posts introducing the site and welcoming the user to create an account and stuff.

Sabrent drives are OEM Phison ones I think. Look for that unpopulated 0.1" header on the far edge of the NVME drive.
If it gets successful enough that people really want to game it, the creator will have proven their concept and can try to tweak it as necessary. I think that would be a fine problem to have.

The basic incentive of money drives all sorts of things. Maybe the best “exploit” will be to find interesting and novel links.
1. I don't really know of any feature like this but can't say for certain. I'd highly recommend investing in a bluetooth keyboard for work in the headset (or keep your cable keyboard plugged into your computer and mirror the screen into the headset).

2. Honestly no clue how the public will react to Apple's avatars, but keep in mind that third party apps are free to create experiences like that and I'm sure you'll see a dozen VRChat clones taking off.

3. Not sure! I never ran into any issues but I also don't need glasses.

4. I personally am a VR gaming enthusiast and despite gaming not being the core use case of the Vision Pro, I'm very excited to see what people do with it. If you've played Half Life Alyx you know how fun gravity gloves are, so imagine having games that have graphics and physics that can seamlessly blend with real life. Use your hands to toss around virtual objects that bounce off walls in the real environment! The cool thing is that this is all super easy to develop for now: all the scene understanding, rendering, hand tracking, physics, etc. is all handled by the device so you can probably whip up a gravity gloves prototype in a few lines of code.
I recommend this blog post to all devs I work with that need to pick up Perl:

> The number of people who are actually free speech maximalists has got to be tiny.

This is a very common strawman that I see. Sure, not a lot of people are in favor of literally infinite amounts of free speech.

But nobody claimed that. Instead, people are claiming that there can be a wide range in support for free speech, and even if someone is OK with banning death threads and CSAM, that such a person could still be very much on the pro free speech side.

So yes, someone can be more in favor of free speech than you are, because they do not want legal speech to be banned on major platforms, even if you can nitpick their position and find some extreme outlyier hypothetical where they are not 1 million percent in favor of everything.

Same with Australia. There’s so many pyrophytes that the Eucalyptus tree adapted to produce an oil that burns especially hot in order to wipe out competitors and prevent them from sprouting after the fire.

Canada, on the other hand, is a powder keg waiting to blow. The ecosystem is too wet to have any fire adaptations and as the peatlands dry, they expose meters thick layers of undecomposed plant matter that are dense enough to be used as a cheap and dirty fuel in some parts of world. It’s one of the largest carbon stores on the planet and we’ll soon have months long fires a the peat burns.
Those arrays usually contain pointers to other data structures, allocated on the heap in different places, which often results in a cache miss / cpu stall. It's still a constant time lookup, but for small values of N, avoiding the cache misses is often faster, even with an O(N) algorithm.
20 years ago, Anchor was pretty decent. Like Sam Adams, there wasn't a lot of competition for US-brewed beer beyond the Bud-style macrobrews. Now there's a dozen good-to-great breweries in every city, and no reason to buy Anchor Steam anymore.

Just curious, how are images protected by login:password? The only way I know is htacess, which isn't really an easily scalable/usable feature... Many years ago, maybe 10 when I used Facebook I recall you could share a picture location with anybody regardless of login (i.e. Right click, copy image location, send over whatever), so the URL wouldn't be guessable or possible to predict, and the protection would be that you would get access to such url only when logged. I think in this context, the private network idea would only work if you are on vpn and you share urls that are only accesible vía vpn, is this a common setup for medical images? Is this expected? I wouldn't mind having a key or an image descrambler/decrypting/token but can't say the same about my grandma, my mother, my brother, my nephews...
That's par for the course. This sort of thing is one of the several big reasons why I will never use Microsoft products for anything.
I stopped reading at “Ethereum wallet”. Sounds like a crypto scam to me.

Transport for NSW, the government agency which controls traffic signal timing in Sydney and NSW, has an excellent stated goal of increasing walking and cycling trips – and reducing pedestrian wait times at intersections.

However, there is no public data on traffic light timing in Sydney or NSW.

Actually, yes. many trolls do it simply because it's easy to do. adding even a $1 barrier to entry would cull a lot.

Ofc there are determined and financuially comfortable trolls out there that would still make a few dozen, but those few are easier to stamp out without the noise of low effort trolls.

>if there is monetary incentive to get upvotes/attention seems like it could pencil out

worst case, it helps pay for the server. But yes, this is the equivalent of a KS campaign being partially self-funded to make it seem like others are interested. There are likely dozens of other tricks that such a community would reveal.
Of course there are serious people that also disagree with it (I'm pretty onboard fwiw).

I can't find the graph now, but I saw a good one showing that largely the profits aren't in the companies with workers demanding higher wages.

So, like in all things economic, a Nobel Prize isn't going to bring consensus.

Well I talk to my family and friends about woke culture, we all know exactly what each other is talking about. You asserting that the thing we're talking about doesn't exist is just you being a bigot.

>Forming huge ideas about the nature of the world based on our personal experiences is generally a pretty terrible idea.

Basing ones understanding of the world on lived experience is the only way humans learn anything. That's how we as humans live our lives and make decisions. I'm not even talking about the world, I'm just talking about a city in which I spent a lot of time.
If it's any consolation, nobody here or there (they're talking about this conversation on a board right now) knows who you are.
These large cost increases have been great for businesses. If your company buys a widget for $10 and sells it for $50 and the cost goes up 20%, you can tell your customers our costs have gone up 20% and we can't afford not to pass on the increases, etc. The thing is the business is only paying $2 more, but the customer is paying $10 more. Plus we also have businesses like supermarkets that saw a huge increase in demand during the COVID restrictions, where people couldn't travel, eat out, go to concerts. But even after the record breaking year due to a non repeatable event, they still expect to grow on top of that. When demand falls, the only way to keep or grow your revenue is to increase prices.

Article about the real threats from Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
This is basically HN-heresy, but I was interested in this comment but was struggling to read it b/c of the style, so summarized it via ChatGPT. Very interesting thoughts, I agree with your end conclusion as I understand it! Especially this bit: "AI" is not an alternated vision, a potential totally different future. The alternate vision is the original desktop model

_The summary:_

The commenter criticizes the current computing model, stating that it is overly fragmented and lacks integration. They point out the limitations of current systems like calendar apps and file managers, noting their inability to link related files and emails or effectively search file content and metadata. They argue that this model was developed for commercial purposes, prioritizing profit over functionality, and that true integration is impossible in this framework.

The commenter identifies a few modest efforts towards integration but believes these fall short as they limit the end user's power. They highlight the shift to web 2.0 and modern integrated environments where everything can be linked, but express disappointment at the lack of end user programming capabilities.

They suggest an alternative vision, rooted in the original desktop model, where users operate in a fully integrated, flexible, and programmable environment. This approach allows users to communicate more effectively and eliminates the need for individual websites for various operations, such as banking.

Finally, they speculate about a future model that integrates the human brain with an artificial exobrain, but dismiss current attempts like "neuralink" as expensive toys. They see potential in this idea, but believe we are far from reaching this level of technology.

It's still worse in my opinion to accuse an innocent person falsely of racism than to fail to catch a non-violent act of racism, especially when the definition of what is "racist" seems to change depending on the person you ask.
I don't. All three of them were/are terrible. They just each have their own personality about it.
And yet, so ready are we to discard those millennia of earned experience in favor of statistically generated sludge. Instead of glibly saying the same about programming, we glibly dismiss the role of the artist in making art. In another comment on this thread, someone talks about how Jon Blow could have saved $100,000 on art for Braid if he had used an ai system like this, perhaps not understanding that the art of Braid is a critical component of what makes it Braid.

If Karma is real, games made with uninteresting AI art will fail as we generate a sea of low-effort sludge.
> The more trolling they enable, the more money they get.

How do trolls pay anything to the USPTO? Usually the patents a troll tries to assert against others are purchased from others, often failed tech startups. (Note: People often forget that every “bad” patent was once someone’s startup dream. Edit: OK, maybe not every "bad" patent was once someone's startup dream.)
Bonus points for merging current and past hype streams. Now if they were using AI to figure out how to fix the Metaverse by using Cryptocurrencies and Document Databases, that would complete my bingo card.

Those are solid examples, you’re right. The “isn’t this math thing beautiful?” and “don’t you love love?” digressions are banal, but I give him a pass because a) the guests are interesting people who say interesting things and b) in Lex’s world I guess it’s unusual to slow down and smell the roses.

It makes sense to get touchy-feely with Bert Kreischer, who’s basically an alcoholic gigantic third grader. Or with Michael Malice because they’re goofy best buds.

Still it’s nice when a serious guest kind of shrugs and sticks to the topic.

I can’t listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson talk because of that same kind of “the wonder of the poetry of the cosmic ballet” nonsense.
No, that doesn't follow. What follows is that you should avoid low blows, so-called "tiny insults"*, and castigating "evil people" on HN—such perceptions are notoriously unreliable, and mostly result in reverse flames from people functioning the same way, just from the opposite point of view.

Instead, what you should do is respond to wrong information with correct information, neutrally and in a way that the rest of us can learn something from. Then you've contributed something good to the community. If you can't do that or don't want to, the other option is to simply not post.

Responding aggressively doesn't help—it only makes things worse. Nor is it in your interests, because to the extent that the audience is persuadable, aggressive comments like what you posted will sway them against your own position. If you happen to be right, that means that you've discredited the truth, which hurts everyone (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

* Everyone always underestimates the badness of their own infractions (e.g. "tiny") and overestimates the badness of others' (e.g. "evil"). If one weights each of those biases at 10x, that's a 100x distortion. No conversation can endure that sort of communication gap. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

You may be forgetting just how dismal the phone market was when the iPhone was released. As basic as it was, the first iPhone was astronomically better than any other phone on the market.

In the last 15 years, the rest of the market has mostly caught up, but the iPhone is still one of the best phones you can get and the best phone you can buy that runs iOS, if that's your preference.
