> Windows allows you to…change scrolling direction

Within the last 5 years this wasn’t always the case since that’s when I last setup a Windows machine and this definitely was not a setting and I had to edit the registry. Trust me that was not my first choice—I would have much rather used a setting like you can on macOS for scroll direction.

Of course that’s not to say macOS is perfect either. Sounds like they are just now getting around to adding a setting for mouse acceleration. Now, this has always been possible with a “simple” (when compared to the multiple registry edits I had to do on Windows) terminal command—no need to resort to a an additional utility as you imply. Obviously both of these “hacks” as you say are not anything regular consumers are going to be able to do.

With all that said, macOS is closer aligned to how I would do an OS “out of the box”.

To be correct, all you have to do...all you have to do...is post a single example of the equivalent to the JS code that is producing the same result.

But you can't!!!

> Every language that supports default and variable arguments does this.

Python:

map(float, ["1", "2", "3"])

C:

No equivalent syntax.

C++

std::vector<std::string> a = {"1", "2", "3"};
std::vector<int> b;
std::transform(a.begin(), a.end(), std::back_inserter(b), std::stod); # compile error

You can say "well feature X exists elsewhere" or "library function Y exists elsewhere", but only JS makes the collective design choices that cause this phenomenon.

Good, bad? IDK, that's subjective. But unique? Certainly.

Cynically put, when he is no longer convenient for Putin to keep around.

In another sense - he's a minor warlord, with ~50,000 armed followers, in a huge country. He controls ~zero of the infrastructure, air forces, etc. which would be needed for him to mount even an obviously-doomed bid to topple Putin.
Short answer: No I feel that programs and programming are definitely for me. I am a programming enthusiast.

Longer answer: I won't be discouraged by the dumpster fire. I've been burned enough in the past to know that vendor lock-in is not for me. Don't waste time on flamewars.

Someone once asked me "There is a book called Computers for Dummies. Why isn't there a book called Computers for Smart people?"

Dig a little deeper. Dream big. Create your own platform that you control, on your own terms, the way you would want it. Don't get lost in the weeds.

There are people who study immigration policy which are probably more qualified in creating such policy than your parent. And also one does not need to be such an expert to deduce there is something wrong with the current policy. However I’ll attempt a simple change which would at the very least strip human trafficers of their most numerous customer base.

Create a legal avenue for applying for asylum.

Yes, I believe this simple policy change would have prevented this disaster, and so many more tragedies. It could be as simple as having a request form present at the border crossing, where asylum seekers are than directed to a temporary facility.

I believe we are in this mess because refugees are literally forced to illegally cross into a potential host country before applying for asylum. This policy is nuts. And as we know thousands of people still do this. Seeking asylum is not illegal, but there are no legal ways to do it, which results in thousands of people attempting illegal border crossing and a blooming business for human smugglers.
No it’s not, this even goes to things like reference letters. US letters for the same candidate are always much stronger and use very different language.

> What's irrational about taking your money out of an insolvent bank?

Nothing. But what happened here was that multiple people decided to take money all at once out of a solvent bank, thus making it insolvent. Banks are in fractional reserve banking business, not custodian business. So no bank in the US can survive >25% withdrawals.

I once had a recruiter send me the project template in a .zip for the take home with the instructions to take less than 3 hours (the email wasn't timed to start right away either). No server with countdown, no forking from github, just download this zip and then email back in less than 3 hours. I thought to myself: will they check the download time from the share drive (if they even can)? will they just pass me by default for starting one day after the email delivery? Open up the zip. You need to add 6 endpoints, 2 of those are some fairly complex aggregate queries and I had to take a quick refresher on the legacy ORM they were using. For the frontend, bootstrap a react app from scratch and implement 6 flows (some even required you to go beyond the api tasks). They even encourage going above and beyond and adding unit testing and some integration tests for the UI!
So then it was obvious the metagame was cheating and you'd be compared against people cheating. Are people sending edited git history? doing it in groups? what was the catch?

Then they can interview candidates without the takehome bullshit.

Companies refuse to even read a resume/cv these days. They make you sign up for an account specifically with their company and jump through all their hoops and type into fields exactly the information covered in the resume/cv/cover letter. They have you write out answers to questions they later ask you again in person.

Of companies don't want to spend the time that's fine, but they shouldn't expect prospective employees to waste exponentially more time. And arguably the job hunter is in the more desperate position, as evidenced by the fact we are willing to jump through all of the aforementioned hoops. Unpaid. For a chance at something. For which you may receive no feedback.

Fuck that it should be illegal to do so unless they compensate us.

https://archive.md/jcs6x Archive for the paywall. It’s a short article: checked in for one night, stayed for 603 nights, leaving in Jan 2021 (so they arrived around April 2019, meaning this could potentially be related to Covid, although that is not discussed in the article). The total bill is stated to be around 71,000 US dollars. The hotel has (naturally) filed a complaint against the guest, but more interestingly it has also filed complaints against the front desk manager and several staff who are accused of forging, deleting, adding, and falsifying a large number of entries in the guest’s account.

I work as a receptionist at a medium-size hotel so I can give some industry insight here. The guest purportedly had the reservations manager and staff on his side, so it’s not surprising that he could get away with this - you might think there would be checks and balances in place to ensure a stupendous bill like this doesn’t get racked up without guarantee of payment, but to the extent that those checks exist (rarer than you might expect, but still fairly common) the staff are the people who enforce those checks, and the reservation manager is the oversight to ensure those checks are being enforced.

The part about falsifying records is probably fluff; extending a person’s stay necessarily involves altering records in a guest’s account. These alterations are routine and would be present even in accounts of guests who extended their stay and then paid in full - they only became unethical alterations retroactively when the guest didn’t pay. If they were falsifying payment records to make it look like the account was paid, that’s a different matter, but that seems unlikely as that would have been caught on reconciliation by their accounts department. That said, I think the hotel should probably also file a complaint against their accounts person, who should have noticed this climbing bill after a month, or at the very least after a year.

This kind of phenomenon, on a smaller scale, is the main reason many hotels take pre-payment for stays. Paying on checkout is a fragile system - even if you take the guest’s payment details ahead of time, that’s no guarantee the bill amount will be available on the card to be charged.
> I'm shocked this isn't being done already. But what on earth is the reasoning in this article? There are plenty of great reasons to do controlled burns, but for some reason the article says controlled burns are good because:

Don't be shocked. Part of the reason they're couching it this way is to avoid acknowldeging yet another Sacramento Policy Failure

"In California, two different approvals are needed for a burn — an air permit and a smoke management plan from the California Air Resources Board or a regional air-pollution district. In some cases, Cal Fire has to sign off, too."

1.) China's unemployment rate is no where near comparable to europe's. China considers one employed if one has worked at least ONE hour a week. or if their family have land to farm.

2.) There's nothing comparable to what's happening to China right now, except for the Russia sanctions, where an entire economic engine (export, 25% of GDP) is being ripped out or shut down, by companies pulling factories out of China

3.) Blackstone and IMF have been plenty wrong before. also, there's no chance they don't at least use some part of the data from the Chinese's National office of statistics.
> it seems popular thinking that remote work could lead to less managers.

But.... why? A manager's work still stays the same whether their teams are in office or online. Really curious to understand why one would think otherwise.
Well actually their STATED GOAL was to be highly competitive in the international launch market as well. When Ariane 6 was greenlit there was much talk about that this investment needed to be made to be competitive and so on and so on.

And of course now 10 years later its all like 'all we wanted is independent space access'.

Of course if that was the case just flying Ariane 5 would have been better. Not having 3 different rockets would have been better.

Seems like the easy solution is one of those solar systems marketed as being for camping, right? Not sure it's economical, but easy.

Personally I'm interested in a DIY mod to add solar panels directly to the back of a laptop screen. It probably wouldn't be able to actually charge unless the machine is in sleep mode (which also would have the lid closed which would help), but it would extend the battery - if the machine averages 10W and the panel gives 1W, that's an extra 10% runtime for free, and better if it sleeps in the middle (which works, because I'm unlikely to use a laptop continuously for 10 hours).

I've heard a few sermons that said the effect of the perfume might have lasted until his crucifixion, and might literally have been the one pleasant part of his execution and death. The other part, if you read the scriptures closely, Jesus generally treated the individual as a person first, and a problem (win) second, so the disciples being dicks to her wasn't something he'd be cool with. And he tended not to correct the individual in a group setting.

And sadly they're behind even China at this point, which is a bit of a joke if we're honest.

ESA is a perfect example for what a bureaucratic monster Europe is these days. With a similar budget as CNSA but no clear vision and goals, the funds have mostly been wasted in recent years. They have the engineers, a good spaceport, the knowledge, etc... everything they'd need. But the stagnating political culture is holding them back. The US went through something similar, but at least with the private spaceflight boom the Americans seem to have snapped out of it.

Ask HN: Best and easiest front end framework for personal website in 2023?
Context:

-----------

My personal website currently runs on angular. It works well but I since I am noob in coding because I know HTML & CSS pretty well and scrape the internet to piece together other stuff for angular to run this website.

Due to my limit coding ability, I run my blog on ghost and it has a different theme which I don't like. I don't want to spend time in redoing the ghost theme so it looks like my personal website. Rather I'd love to incorporate a static site generator in my angular project so I have full control over theming for my blog.

Problem:

-----------

I just spent like 4 hours trying to resolve some dependencies in my angular project so I can install skully - a static site generator in my angular project. And I am exhausted.

I've decided to do a long pending task i.e. port my personal website from angular to something modern that also has better app ecosystem support. Something like react where I can use gatsby instead of skully.

How you can help?

-----------

Given you guys are more experienced that me in coding, what frontend framework is the easiest to learn while also remains scalable and a wide community/app support that I can port my personal website to?

Conditions for suggestions:

-----------

- I am a noob in FE so I'll use Google or GPT to get most of the answers.

- I am quite well in understanding structures & architecture of a framework to piece it together

- I am not looking to become an expert in any framework that I pick next. A framework is a means to my end i.e. running my personal website & blog smoothly.
"Why not talk about more concrete reasons that controlled burns are good without appealing to it being opposite of racists? "

This article is weird because forest management became an extremely partisan issue recently. Do you remember the whole "rake the forests" thing?

Specifically, no of course we don't rake the forests. But generally, yes, accumulated fuel and forest management is at fault. Great pains are taken to redefine policies in progressive terms to avoid the appearance of agreeing with one's political opponents.

Both sides do this btw.

> California is getting hotter and dryer with the climate catastrophe

California in the 20th century was very abnormally wet and mild. Using scientific data and looking back 2000+ years one gets a picture of centuries long droughts, and of extreme weather as very normal. This is the status quo and the past 100 years of mild and wet climate is the weird abnormality(which people think it always should be like).

A lot of this adversarial nature comes down to how projects are awarded. Government employees have very little discretion to choose projects, so they always go with the cheapest bid. But no large software project ever has had 0 change orders.

So the only profitable way to win these contracts is offer the cheapest bid by delivering as little as possible while being in spec, and then pillaging on the change orders.
Upon revisiting this, you make a fair point, I suppose that would drive demand.
I support some protests in France, this is what fueled the state we have today with is social safety nets.

I do not support the protests that destroy public and private property.

Someone who supports such violence should have their house destroyed and looted and then affirm "well done!". Somehow this does not happen.

Neither the leaders who support squatting do not advertise their house address and when they go for vacation to incite the squatters to take their house and make it a trashbin.

There are different ways to protest but when you go for violence do not be surprised you get violence back (including non physical).

This is not talked to any political wing - as someone said the extremes usually meet.

"There is virtually no absorption of peptides longer than four amino acids."

I figure this should be a straightforward case of eminent domain.

Say you own a house. The government needs to take your house to demolish it to build a road. The government is within its rights to just take it (after due process and fair payment).

Now say you own a document that you make people pay to read. The government needs to take your document to make it part of the law to build a building code. Why doesn't the government exercise same kind of rights to just take it (after due process and fair payment)?
Good point. So when we try and evaluate a person's "social radar", we should probably limit ourselves to cases where they are the minority dissenter and the person they dislike is given the opportunity, since it gives us the most controlled scenario in which we can evaluate their hypothesis.
