> the core of VS Code is really well-crafted highly performant code. It was designed to be fast and to work for a web integrated code editor from the start.

Seems to me this is kinda the core of the matter. VSCode written by developers, for developers, working in the domain of...development. It's almost a labor of love at that point.

“75 percent of the black students at Harvard were of African or Caribbean descent or of mixed race. According to Professor Gates, more than two thirds of all Harvard's black students were either the children or grandchildren of West Indians or Africans and very few of Harvard's black students were the descendants of American slaves.

First off, Plaid uses OAuth when possible to do things the right way. So you really have nothing to worry about if your bank is competent.

Second, Plaid will use app passwords if you have 2FA enabled and your bank supports them. This is the correct way to handle that scenario.

Third, Plaid saves me a lot of trouble and I have come to trust them. I am happy to delegate responsibility to them.

Why is it inherently bad to trust a 3rd party?

This will still result in bluriness, since it is scaling the already rasterised image, instead of informing the application to render at a different pixel resolution.

X11/Xorg has long supported proper per-display fractional scaling, since the usual resolution in 96 DPI, which can easily be multiplied by 1/0.6 and set per-display using `xrandr --dpi 160/DP-2`. It is still however up to frameworks (Gtk, Qt) to detect and implement this. I've seen Qt applications handle this automatically, but not Gtk.

My last Wayland-related post on HN [0] was about how it handled this worse than X11 due to lack of proper fractional scaling. AAIU, this has since been added to the protocol, but based on sibling posts, it sounds like framework support is still in the same state as in X11 (ie, works in Qt, not in Gtk).

I think it’s pretty obvious that there’s racial inequity in the US and we need to work on it. But being punitive is not going to help long run.

I remember a classmate of mine who was ranked maybe 30th in my class and was African American. Both parents were doctors who immigrated to the US from the Caribbean in the 70s, she got a car on her 15th birthday, tutors, and lots of advantages. She was accepted to a great college above 20+ other people. It’s impossible to know the exact reasons why but she said she thought her race helped her and her application coaches had her focus on that in her admission essays.

It’s bad that people were rejected based on their race for hundreds of years and I’m not sure how we fix that. Admitting rich kids based on their race is not nearly as bad as refusing people based on their race, but there has to be a better way.

Ask HN: JSON RFC 8785 Serialization
This seems like such a trivial question to ask, but a project at my work uses a custom HTTP message request signer implemented in JavaScript, which they're making an API for, and I wrote a Python implementation of this and was surprised how much I had to tweak json.dumps to produce a JSON string to match the same signature.

I went ahead and duplicated this to PHP and Ruby, writing some unit tests, which all seem to pass, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced anything of the like and what they did.

ChatGPT recommends using JSON Canonicalization Algorithm (JCA) RFC 8785, which seems legit at first glance.

The LLM needs to be run locally. So it can’t be a GPT API or an API for some cloud LLM. The docs can’t leave the perimeter. It can be a Pretrained model that is being “extended” (is there such a thing?) with the new docs. Alternately it can be an existing LLM trained from scratch on these docs but I’m not sure that’s the right approach.

CC: Is the program it comes up with GAAP compliant?

You: shrug

You: chuckle oh heavens no, that's very valuable, closely held proprietary information, but I can tell you that it was trained on 4chan, Reddit, and Stack Overflow.

CC: visibly pales

Disclaimer: I used to work for MongoDB.

I think that MQL is very difficult to write because of its verbosity—it simply requires so much text. Even as someone who regularly wrote and debugged MQL queries, it is just so verbose, but essentially is just an AST structure and doesn’t need that much verbosity. I created a library that attempts to solve that friction, but I have no idea if it’s still being maintained by MongoDB: https://github.com/mongodb-labs/pymongoagg

Note though that it was a conversation about flowers, possibly at a party with no flowers in sight. Imagine it went like this:

jcims: So what kind of hobbies are you into?

Bob: I love my garden, I planted several new flowers last weekend in fact.

jcims: Oh? What kind of flowers are you growing?

Bob: These latest are Lenten roses, I know a lot of people find the smell a bit unpleasant, but I actually prefer it to the zinnias.

jcims (sober): Isn't it interesting how there seems to be an innate attraction towards the scent of certain flowers. Like what is the electrochemical process that creates sensation in your mind of attraction and beauty and a pleasant experience when a certain set of chemicals bind to receptors in your head.

Bob: I don't know about chemistry, I'm just a gardener.

Alternately:

jcims (tipsy): That's cool! I've never heard of Lentil roses. Do they smell different than real roses?

Bob: chuckle Finally, a pleasant party conversation! The last person I talked with must have had a Ph.D. in neurochemistry or something, they started talking about electroreceptors and I just couldn't think of anything smart enough to say.
You say that like they ever left.

I love the DC Metro system. Last year my wife and I were invited to a graduation party in the suburbs and we stayed in a hotel a few blocks from the furthest out station and rode into the city to enjoy the National Mall and the shops and restaurants around Union square.

I used to go to conferences in downtown SF a lot and I would wind up riding the BART from SFO, I would always meet Europeans doing the same thing but all the other Americans I met would take the SuperShuttle or an Uber. I thought the BART was great.

I ride the bus from rural Tompkins County to Cornell, the one problem is that you have to plan your schedule around just a few trips, but it drops me off right by the cafe on the way to work, if I drove I’d have to spend another 15-20 min finding a parking space and walking to my office and might need to move my car mid day or pay for parking.

The bus has been in bad shape lately, we used to get a full size bus (often electric) now often it is a mini-bus, sometimes a mini-bus where 1/3 of the seats have been replaced by a wheelchair elevator that gets used once a month. A few years back there was a utopian proposal to not charge fares, it seems to have become a reality because some vendor screwed up and now 90% of the fare boxes are busted. I think the service is great but it surprises me how few people use it because it stops at some very transit friendly development.
I did this. I was skeptical at first but it's such a big qol improvement. I got a family plan so now that's what I bring to the streaming service exchange with the family and they love me for it
Do you think the tradeoffs discussed in that article are unproven?
I’m not ignorant of your concerns, but that’s what privacy laws are for. These third parties have been scrapping Tesla APIs at the behest of their customers for years. This is nothing new, simply more formalized.

If the laws are insufficient, that’s a call for better laws (which I agree are needed). The apps I use do not sell their customer data, but Tesla should probably stipulate API integrations aren’t permitted to as extra guardrails (with violations being an API access death sentence, killing the app business).
The {Gamma,Color}FAQ pair[1] are the traditional entries in that category, although my own experience implementing colorspace transformations is that they may be making the subject appear more complicated than it needs to be.

At the same time, I’m not sure if the “falsehoods” path is the simplest here, or if an explanatory “what is” approach would be better. There’s no end to mistaken things people get confused into believing, but the fundamentals of emissive colour are just not that hard—a (mostly) linear system can only be so complicated. In that respect I think I found the introductory part of the Matplotlib colormap talk[2] to be the most helpful source on the basics.

(There are difficult things about color, of course. But perceptual similarity does not in my opinion count as part of the fundamentals. And while the science of paint and light-matter interaction in general is basically endless, unless you’re doing print design or photorealistic rendering it’s probably not an immediate concern for you.)

Am I the only one who won't notice this change? I have never used google news. When I want to read news I go to the news sources. I'll read BBC or whatever other news outlet I choose.

Maybe websites are as dead as printed paper.
Keep in mind that Nexus 5 has a 16:9 aspect ratio when this phone is more like 18:9.

My 5,2" Motorola Moto G5 Plus fits pretty tight in a case for a Google Pixel 6a, which has a 6,1" screen.

Here are some body size measurements:

Moto G5 Plus: 15,0x7,4cm

Pixel 6a: 15,2x7,1cm

When it comes to the Zenfone and Nexus 5:

Zenfone 10: 14,65x6,8cm

Nexus 5: 13,8x6,9cm

Just one thing about front camera. I think it's much better if the front camera is put in the center instead of left side as now. Hope the dev community on XDA will support this device.
Your comment is really misguided. Anyone in lower income does not have time to attend meetings or pay attention to local politics. Think about it this way, crime does not happen in affluent areas because they will more often generate much more attention to police their neighborhood for safety. Lower income areas are ALWAYS where the crime is because the population there does not have the time or resources to form a safe community, nor do they even believe they will be listened to because they are always neglected by government action.

A few years back the city of San Francisco was trying to buy a local hotel in Japantown to use as a lower income housing / shelter. They tried to sneak fast track the process but were still required to have community meetings. I was in these meetings as its my neighborhood and ALL the people who were PRO on this project were OLDER people who were retired or in good places in their lives and wanted to interject their good feelings on a neighborhood they DONT EVEN LIVE IN. All the people against the project were all people who LIVE in or work in the area. It was just incredibly infuriating hearing these people who had no business being there but wanted to give their woke justice opinion.
It's not significantly smaller than the ubiquitous Samsung S23:

Samsung S23: 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm

But 10% larger battery so make your choices.

> It is better to encourage people to refine their queries to something less general

My search experience has been consistently the opposite. Google rejects more defined queries. The more terms you add to your queries, the more likely it’s that it’ll just ignore them.

This is a recent trend btw. It wasn’t that use 4 or 5 years ago, but it’s certainly increasingly random the more terms I add to my search query.

One of my biggest pet peeves with ChatGPT is how conversational I have to make my query to be. I can’t just type terms and let it figure them out. But that’s to be expected I guess. Google search seems to struggle with both atm. I have no doubt they are aware and working on it, but it just sucks atm

Diagonal screen size is a terrible measurement when different phones have different aspect ratios.

That said, even when going by volume, this isn't a particularly small phone at 94 cm3.

A current-gen iPhone SE is only 68 cm3. The zenphone 10 sits in between the 81.8 cm3 iPhone 14 and the 99 cm3 iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Or compared to Samsung, the "regular sized" Galaxy S23 is 78.8 cm3. Even the S23+ is slightly smaller at 91 cm3! Only the S23 Ultra is significantly larger at 114 cm3.

(All volumes here were determined by multiplying the deminsions listed on GSM Arena. They're probably all slightly off due to camera bumps, but should be comparable to each other.)
