I mean, ultimately most languages and frameworks are/should be at least intelligible and serviceable by your teammates. I’ve both been on teams where I cannot work on Jerry’s Fucking Insanity Factory API after he leaves even though it’s written in JS and I know JS, but this is some insane Rube Goldberg machine that only Jerry’s mind understands, I’ve also been on teams where someone will write their thing in Go or Rust and I don’t know those but I can at least maintain them, because they’re well abstracted and do nice things and their authors were not schizophrenic like Jerry
I think GP is talking about diminishing total utility (negative marginal utility).
I wouldn’t want all whites to be displayed that brightly on my monitor, because of battery drain and eye fatigue. So I’m fine with reserving HDR for certain applications like video, and using “normal” levels for everything else.

Maybe there should be some CSS extensions for using HDR directly on web pages, though, if the developer really wants to.
4 out of 5 pharmacy-filled prescriptions are opioids.¹

In almost every single case, those using these drugs are trying to escape the physical and/or emotional pain. They didn't wake up one day and say "I want to have fun, I'm going to do heroin"

Almost every fentanyl user I've talked to in harm reduction work started out on prescribed painkillers. Whether they got the taste and moved up quick, or just couldn't get their fix and couldn't deal with the horrible weeks of withdrawal and found a place to get it, they didn't just up and start shooting fentanyl one day.

> If anyone wanted me to sign some contract with consequences if something came up I'd laugh.

Yeah, I'm surprised that was mentioned. The only way you'll get me to agree to consequences for no-show is if you pay me to show. I mean I already have consequences for no-showing -- my reputation. I've spent a long time building a reputation as a speaker who not only always shows up, but can do a talk with less than a day's notice. So I'm likely to show up so as not to ruin that reputation.
I’ve heard people say “put the x up” as far north as Illinois at least.

This is super cool. There are many JAX ports for popular models.

No, it would not be good. It would be harmful. It would encourage more of the crime you say you want to stop.
Suggesting random people to adopt a pet, is in my opinion wrong, unless you know the person well. Pets are not a thing, they need care, responsibility, time, additional budget and other factors you could include if you are gonna have a baby.
Because functionally it's not any different than just trusting the network.

If telegram says "trust me, we can't read anything" and signal says the same: the only way you know it to be true is if they have never given you any software that has access to the unencrypted content.

OR

you only use another network to communicate (and, obviously, you ensure that your clients aren't sending any messages out to anywhere that's not that network).

It would be far simpler to just make real estate taxes, particularly the land value portion, a larger portion of taxes in general.

The only cost is assessment, which is already done, instead of an entire new bureaucracy keeping tabs on how much everyone utilizing each piece of property.

I agree with this sentiment which is why I'm in favor of strong antitrust enforcement... but I don't think that's the complaint I picked up from the article. Their complaint seems to be that it's too easy for "colossally stupid assholes" (direct quote) to enter a space posing as a "disruptor", raise an enormous valuation for an idea that doesn't really work, and then scam consumer investors into paying for an IPO based on hype and/or pure speculation. If that's true, then it makes sense that investors will ultimately get wise to it and either start investing in things that show a proven profitability, or else lose their money. The underlying FOMO behind all these bubbles contains the seeds of its own destruction - I don't disagree with the author about that.

I can’t help but feel that Agile is at least partly to blame for this. Things like you are describing usually don’t come under the “minimum viable product” purview and thus get pushed out indefinitely until the product is at the “very mature” stage. At that point there’s the risk that the product will be re-written and the cycle reset again.

I can't believe that "Nuance is unacceptable" is the position you really want to go with.
To be clear, I'm talking specifically about water rights.

The Western rule is typically "prior appropriation", as opposed to "riparian rights" which dominate the Eastern states:

Water is very scarce in the West and so must be allocated sparingly, based on the productivity of its use. The prior appropriation doctrine developed in the Western United States from Spanish (and later Mexican) civil law and differs from the riparian water rights that apply in the rest of the United States.

Not relevant to TFA, just a note on law and its varying origins within US jurisdictions.
On the macOS client (and iOS client too, I think), Signal keeps periodically prompting me to import my contacts, and the only options offered are 'Yes' and 'Not Now'.
I have an intense dislike for any software that offers a 'not now' option without also offering a 'not ever' option, particularly when it's about exporting PIIs. It feels like it's just saying "ok, but one day we know you're going to slip up and accidentally click the 'Yes' button, and then... bam!"

4 out of 5 pharmacy-filled prescriptions is not 4 out of 5 prescriptions, let alone 4 out of 5 patients, nor does that statistic say anything about unfilled pharmacy prescriptions or the rate at which people did not develop an addiction. Also you would expect the proportion of pharmacy-filled prescriptions for opioids to go up if the more common prescription for pain is not opiods from a pharmacy.
I agree that wrapping is a bad default, but I can provide some rationale.

If you do wrapped addition without flags, you have one self-contained instruction that even covers signed and unsigned integers. If you want other behaviour, you then have to specialize for signed or unsigned, specialize for the choice of wrap/trap/flag, and make those traps and flags work nicely with whatever other traps or flags you might have.

So, yeah, if you want the simplest possible thing, driven by some decision other than the best outcomes for software in general, then you would choose wrapping addition without flags or traps.
What he said that "its hard to prove if we are still peasants" is wrong. But you cannot argue that we human have benefitted at the cost of nature? Also,

>Nobody cares about your stupid degrowth ideology that advocates for death and people to be poorer.

Is also not true. Having a 1km lawn is excess. Flying solo on a private plane to visit an office halfway across the world for 1-2 days every other week is excess. No sane person arguing for this position is claiming that people who can barely find food every day is living in excess and must suffer degrowth. It is the privileged that needs to degrowth and redistribute their excess wealth. Do you really think that the Earth can sustain had every single person on Earth lives like the ultra wealthy? Or even as the middle-class American with single unit home in the suburb? We would probably annihilate almost all of "interesting" flora/fauna and be left with chickens and cows if that at all. Maybe that's a perfectly reasonable trade? AFAIK humanity must take priority over every other being AFAIC.
In SDR content, colors are encoded with 8-bits ranges. So, 24bits for the three color channels. With HDR, we usually use 10 bits instead (this is where the "10" comes from in "HDR10"). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#Deep_color_(30-bit....
> We launched with $499/$799 General Admission/VIP ticket pricing (prominently placed!) and the market spoke very loudly with very low sales. So, we repriced it to $150/499 (we’re now losing on each GA ticket), refunded the difference or upgraded all of our early believers, and unfortunately it has not made much of a difference.

Did you do any early bird pricing rounds?
Based on the fact that some analysis of this appeared in my undergrad Spanish courses I feel confident saying that there must be a good amount of academic literature exploring these and many other topics with Spanglish.
If somebody reports you for saying racist things or being generally abusive, would you rather they just take the accuser's word for it? The scare quotes are unnecessary. If their privacy policy says the recordings are used only for moderation, GDPR and CalOPPA hold them to that.
The main point is an important one. History is forgotten if it isn't told to, and remembered by, people. And as the saying goes, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Figuring out and remembering the lessons of events is far more likely if the event itself is remembered, and remembered accurately.

Whether it's remembered or not though, it did actually happen.

Most of what you said is true but I think what version_five was getting at is that many people who claim to be neurodivergent nowadays do it because it's trendy.

Yes, it's incredibly offensive and people who are actually on the spectrum do suffer. But I think he might be right, that people claim to be autistic or have ADHD without formal diagnosis because it's trendy. It's the modern version of "omg I'm so ocd".
Does this mean there will be a run?
HDR is less about the colors and more about achieving a wider range of brightness levels (hence increasing the total dynamic range). It's typically encoded using 10 or 12-bit color depth, and metadata is added to the media on how to map the colors' luminance/brightness values (e.g., what darkest and brightest values of a image/video should be). This is then used to transform HDR content into appropriate color and luminance values for your specific monitor (e.g., the reference monitor used for grading might have a peak brightness of 1000 nits, but yours might be different, or have a different luminance-response curve or support a different color space).
I don't pretend to understand what you're arguing about right now. Personally, I think you should correct the article, but you could opt not to. It's your call either way.
Ask HN: Can you feel changes in barometric pressure in your body?
I cannot feel anything in my body change when the barometric pressure changes, but my spouse can for sure. They get chronic pain flare-ups whenever the pressure decreases drastically.

Well part of that is just the direct value prop of the platform, by having a profile there I’m creating a channel for recruiters and stuff and I suppose making it easier to get bank loans/have people verify my identity. What I don’t want is for the data to be hosted elsewhere and resold to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Fortunately LinkedIn also wants to prevent that because it undercuts their monetization schemes.

With developers, incentive misalignment is just insane at all levels.

- There is bias towards rewarding more lines of code or more code commits (which is often the exact opposite of what characterizes good software design).

- There is bias towards rewarding speed of initial implementation (which often goes against medium-term and long term maintainability and ability to handle requirement changes which is usually far more important). The costs of this tends to fall on other developers who come in later and act as scapegoats for the 'apparent 10x developer'.

- The industry keeps dismantling narratives which would otherwise help to reward talent. For example, many companies dismiss the idea of a '10x developer' - Probably because they are aware of the previous point about the fast developer who cuts corners and creates technical debt for others. 10x developers do exist, but they're not what most people expect because paradoxically, they may be slow coders when it comes to LOC metrics and speed of implementation for new features; their code really only shines in the medium and long run and it improves the productivity of their colleagues too so it's hard to properly allocate credit to 10x devs and they only really matter on greenfield projects.
parqueo and parquear are used widely in Central and South America so I am not sure it's fair to call them Spanglish.

I Created Duolingo, but for Anything
Duolingo has mastered gamified learning. I fell in love with the site as I began learning Chinese. The ultra friendly UI is closer to a video game than anything else. Duolingo also incorporates fierce competition, with streaks, point systems, leagues, and leaderboards. I wanted to continue learning other topics than just languages in this style, but was discouraged by the lack of options. So, I have begun building a product for myself, I have called Skillflow. It takes a user prompt, and generates a gamified course for you. Skillflow is just over a month old, and I am iterating daily. I hope it can provide some value, and welcome any thoughts or feedback.
It's more like:

- If you use our client you can use our servers

It's like, technically it's sometimes[1] OSS, but they don't care about actually being FOSS in practice. If I can't fork the software, add or remove a feature and keep using the software's other features, it hasn't hit the bare minimum to be called FOSS, IMO.

1 - Most old versions of Signal are OSS, but frequently updates are only shared after a long delay - in some cases over a year out of date, if my memory serves me.
Industrial Society and Its Future, and the various influences for it? The Golden Spruce?

I mostly only pay attention to anything tech-negative at all if it's got some kind of historical or human interest.

I've read a lot of the Suckless stuff though, and the Worse is Better stuff, because I always see it on places like this and thought I should probably at least know what it is.

But it always seems like people from less technical fields have clearer writing on why they like these things, tech people are always trying to fight an uphill battle to make tech simple and logical, meanwhile encapsulated complexity is a lot of why most people like it.

Wheras swiss watchmakers, mathematicians, and DIY woodworkers are working in a medium that naturally supports simplicity, and talking to an audience that appreciates it more, they don't have as much conflict happening to obscure things.
Maybe sometimes that's true but at Twilio all employee's are stock holders.

It creates many perverse incentives for law enforcement.

Even if you require a conviction before CAF can be applied, it means that police funding is directly tied to number of convictions instead of the health of the community, and in particular ties funding to convictions in cases where large amounts of money are involved. This disincentivizes preventatory measures of any sort (because preventing crime brings no profit in the short term and decreases profit in the long term), and it means that rather than focusing on crime that has a substantial impact on the health of the community police officers are incentivized to focus on crimes that are likely to net a large amount of cash, which is not a great predictor for the actual impact on society.

I would personally stay away from proton for anything, vpn or email, I’ve been following their news since started and a lot of sketchy things about them, you can read about some of it here (1), the CEO of protonvpn and Tesonet (data mining company) is the same person, they used to have a lot of vulnerabilities and bad patching system (2)(3). There are other stuff about it can’t find the reference for right now (hmmm?), but I can dig deep later if needed.

While it would have taken some luck for a MiG-25 or SAM to shoot down an SR-71, for the most part the US Air Force didn't take the chance. Only a few of the early missions actually penetrated Soviet or Warsaw Pact airspace. For the most part they flew along the edges of international airspace and used sensors to look in.

They did overly some other countries with lesser air defense systems.
OK, let me be as clear as I can be because I thought I stated this: I will, always, absolutely correct the article, and I will keep my original statements as strike-throughs.

Given that it makes no material difference to the point being made I don't know why it's being so emotionally driven;

I would correct the article even if it completely invalidated my point.

I would correct the article if you hadn't been emotional too.

It's just good to make sure that if you make a mistake that you own up to it and you ensure that misinformation does not spread.

I think (I hope) you agree with that.

Which is why I'm confused as to why you keep pressing the issue as I had already corrected the article after seeing your comment for the first time (before I even replied, in fact).

The reason you can't understand what I'm arguing about is because I'm... not arguing.
From one throwaway to another, this is a legitimately useful service and I hope you and others keep doing it. At this point I flip through the HN comments before the articles. The primary source links alone are a treasure.
