"The modern web" often depends on JS, but the World Wide Web was originally created as a system for sharing documents, and some people refuse to accept the slow change towards web-apps, especially in cases where it's unnecessary. For instance, news articles don't need JS.

JavaScript is fine for e.g. territorial.io - where JS isn't an implementation detail but critical to the core concept - but if it's unnecessary, then some people despise being forced to use it.

Disabling JS reduces third-party blocking code, tends to speed up page loads by removing the need to download JS scripts, has no degradation of the content 99% of the time, and is an extremely effective ad/tracker blocker. Overall, it's not hard to see why some people love it.

JS also breaks some web browsers, which pisses off anyone who likes those web browsers.

JS is often proprietary code running on the client's computer, or at least hard-to-verify open-source code that's running on the client's computer and creates unnecessary remote code-execution security holes.

I don't care personally, but I can see why some people do and I think "the modern web" is rather problematic and needs to be reformed.

I think JS can actually be a good thing overall (when executed properly), because it reduces the need to load content from the server and thus can make the user's app more resilient against inconsistent internet connections. Also, JS runs client-side which is better than relying on code that runs serverside, as a rule. (See "service as a software substitute".)

Because at some point you will need to deprecate ciphers and when you do you don't want old clients to explode. The domain is the way you version connection requirements so you can support old clients with crappy ssl options without screwing up the security of new clients.
Are you using an ad blocker? Maybe try disabling your add-ons and reloading.

The site loads fine for me in Firefox 117 (Nightly) on macOS.
No you wouldn't. You just say that because you think Australia won't do it. As soon as Australia does it you'll have a million reasons for why "It's Different™"
Strangely, in the US at least, the cheap hotels would have free or low cost WiFi while the upscale places charged an arm and a leg.

Is there any hope of getting these operating systems (grapheneos/leaniageos) to run on anything other than the pixel phone?

I've been using Samsung all my life (tablets, phones, watches, TVs) since they've been providing consistent quality, but after samsungs silently leaking my keyboard input to grammarly and not providing me the features I paid for on their galexy watch, I decided to move out of the samsung echosystem for good.

The thing is that I still really like their hardware. I just want to change the software running on it to something more sane and less shady.
I dunno, these guys just ordered fragments from GeneArt: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/jo...
Oh I've heard song lyrics and standup jokes and lines in movies and TV shows, sure. I was talking about my personal experience. (I did laugh at the Ali Wong joke, but I won't go to bat for it or anything, it is a joke about stereotypes and insecurity. And the follow up jokes didn't land for me because they got mean.)

I'm sure I've heard men and women make "compensating" jokes, I don't remember any particular instances and have no idea about the proportion.

Experiences will differ, but I think it's a mistake to attribute the policing of masculinity to women primarily. I'm sure there is far too much of that, but a lot of it (in my personal experience, most) comes from other men, and at any rate blaming women is unproductive. The culprit is suffocatingly rigid ideas about gender, and it's a problem for all of us.

Beyond mDNS "snooping", has there been reporting of non-compromised IoT inappropriately listening on networks?

To be clear, I agree that putting IoT devices on a separate VLAN is a good idea but I do that because they're black boxes, not because they're malicious.

The problem with LLMs, which are really impressive, is that they have too many parameters. This makes them fragile, as they lack regularization.

IMHO, a very interesting research route is to combine small mechanistic models with big networks such as LLMs, where the latter play the role of intuition.

Research by Tenenbaum from MIT, and other similar groups, is heading in this direction.
Shall we meet at the middle ground and call it DevOps? ;-)
Can you further elaborate on why more government intervention would work better?
I'm impressed. Noting this:

The results exceeded the researchers' expectations. The team attributes them directly to data quality, as the title of the paper suggests: "Textbooks is all you need," in reference to Google's research on the Transformer breakthrough ("Attention is all you need").

If I have the right context, they selected HIGHLY QUALIFIED inputs. Which probably meant their training set was good as a seed to another system because it had been pre-groomed.

But, it's still impressive.
> what do you like about XMPP?

- plenty of fast native clients

- simplicity of the protocol, especially the encryption
Unnatural scroll wheels is the only app I need for using a regular mouse, which it looks like mos also has, but I don't need the other stuff. I use a magic trackpad in office and a mouse at home.
Reading from memory is really not IO. Perhaps you're suggesting doing something like mmapping a file to memory, putting the data structure in that memory, and then using asyncio on the file to serve things, but this would only work if you can compute byte ranges inside the file to serve ahead of time, in which case there are much simpler solutions anyway. Most likely, when receiving a query they need to actually search through the datastructure based on the query, and it's very likely that this is the bottleneck, not just reading some memory.
> And anti-perspirant is IMO unhealthy to wear during exercise.

Why is that? Are you worried about the pores? It's hard for me to imagine antiperspirant being so effective it would actually lead to insufficient sweat.
This sums it up, "The convention of using a cloud platform is to use a cloud platform".

If you rent compute space, then you trust them to responsibly use the hypervisor instead of snooping. If you trust that or not, you are all in and may as well cement over the external port 22.

When the guy in the OP explained his experience, all I could think was, "That's equality. An overwhelmingly shit customer service experience to all, disabled or not."

I'm currently stuck with someone else's email account in my authorized users, a phone number as my contact number that I can't update (known VM issue atm apparently), and an strong desire to send their CEO recordings of me screaming.
> Well not having chromium as a dependency is a start.

Java as a dependency is not much better. It's also huge which is important if you build your diagrams in containers and/or CI/CD. It's also very slow to start. I'm always surprised when benchmarks show that Java is "fast", because it's so huge and has atrocious cold start time, that makes it very unpleasant to use for CLI utilities.
You could also do it server side

>what is HNs obsession with disabling JavaScript? Are y’all browsing the internet like this? If so how and why? Isn’t most of the modern web dependent on JavaScript?

You know how most security vulnerabilities are some form or another of Remote Code Execution, right?

Well, now consider what JavaScript usually is: Code from a Remote server that Executes on its own locally. The remote server might not have anything to do with the website you intended to visit, too.

The literal nature of JavaScript is a security threat and liability.
> Element has super bizarre behavior like not allowing to paste into the message composer

It requires the clipboard API. Puzzling decision, given that native pasting worked before, but here we are.
I had completely forgot about sending MMS via mail! (Not Verizon, but my provider had a similar thing)

If I recall, some times the message would be delayed by quite a while, so it was not a reliable replacement for SMS, but still fun (and would allow me to send data from my PC to my phone).

Thanks for the memories
>Like, why does it have to be light gray on slightly lighter gray? Whose 20 year old eyeballs decided on this?

Heh, we had a young UI/UX designer in his 20's who liked to put light gray on slightly lighter gray everywhere. When the project was taken over by another designer in her 40's she introduced more contrast.

I don't see it this way. Juniors will be rarely appointed as reviewers by Nature.

Double-blinding gives unknown groups and juniors the chance to publish at top venues, which are incredibly biased towards big-name universities and big-name groups.
I did not support gag orders or lack of transparency, quite the opposite. I am suggesting the app/protocol to publicly log lawful intercept access and for there to be public auditing for the reasons behind the requests (the time, id and jurisdiction are logged publicly).

The problem you are describing is political ultimately. If the premise is that government's can't be trusted then the protocol/app shouldn't be operated by entities like signal or the tor project who have to answer to them. P2P+e2ee+stego is probably best. But a messaging app operating within the law by corporations must allow lawful access but as part of an established and auditable process, not one off targeted access.
>Also, JS runs client-side which is better than relying on code that runs serverside, as a rule.

This is not true, server-side code is a fixed, known environment so it is strictly better for any critical code and especially anything to do with security authentications.
Lol. Have you ever tried to use a trackpad on Linux?
Yes. Scraping is done over http, and the format is negotiated via the ‘accept:’ header.
So glad to hear that I am also not the only one with two kids and demand from work and so little free time.

What is a good way to discover great communities on Matrix?
XMPP is well-defined open source selfhosted easily extendable federated standard for exchanging data containers (messages) in a sequential manner. I have zero experience with Matrix, but have experience developing Jabber clients (both mobile and desktop), developing XMPP server, services and VoIP gateways back in mid 2000th. I can say that XMPP with it's all-covering XEPs can satisfy needs of anyone today. Why would people need something else like Matrix ? I'm trying to understand what motivated Matrix development. Can Matrix provide anything that is completely missing in XMPP beside bad PR ?

XMPP gained bad publicity as overcomplicated XML based protocol which was abandoned by Google in favour of their proprietary solution somethere in 2011. Till then it had been worshipped as one of the best open standard ever developed.
Infrared from the sun is a large part of light, it also has a massive wavelength compared to Ultraviolet, so even if you are inside a house with air conditioning and your central heating thermostat is showing 18DegC for an independent reference, you can still feel the sun.

I say feel because its not a true "heat experience" but you know its hot and there is brilliant sunlight out there, even with blackout blinds for total darkness. I say a true heat experience because that typically involves UV radiation and visible light as well.

I dont know if building wall thickness will effect it but InfraRed can penetrate the skin to quite a depth.

IR penetrates the human skin and the eye to various depths ranging from several millimeters by IR-A to superficial absorption of IR-C
Most of my comments are serious.

But asking me to take Tailwind seriously as a CSS framework is like asking me to take Flat Earth Society seriously in a science forum. Everything has a threshold where you cross from the plausible to the absurd. To me there's a non-zero chance Tailwind is (or at least started as) a parody of bad software design.

We just had a submission the other day that "the JavaScript ecosystem has a talent problem". It's a real problem.

CSS's very goal is to separate styles into reusable, readable rules, and here comes Tailwind, inlining them into an endless combination of increasingly obscure and indecipherable abbreviations. Are you not entertained? It seems deliberate.

Is there a way to migrate from Synapse to this? I don't know if I can justify destroying 6 years of conversation history.
The implementation here is rather annoying, because as soon as you enter the tunnel the wifi cuts off. But there's a 10-15 second latency where network connections just fail as the phone decides the AP is actually gone before it cuts over to LTE.

Then the whole process repeats again once you get to the next station.

Since LTE is usually reliable even in the tunnel, I usually remove the wifi connection. Granted it might help that I don't normally travel during peak hour, so the mobile network is usually fine for my needs.

It's made even more annoying by the fact that "Forgetting" the connection only works until the phone is rebooted, at which point the behaviour returns.
Not strangely; it's completely logical. By the same token, a bottle of sparkling water would cost you much more in an expensive restaurant. Those who live in upscale hotels and eat at expensive restaurants are usually much less price-sensitive.
Show HN: LearnLingo – Converse with an AI-powered language tutor
Hey folks! I'm Callum, and I'm working on a way to practice a new language with an AI powered tutor.

I've always found that the hardest part of learning a new language is finding someone to actually converse with. Even if a partner can be found, the pressure can mean that you are more focused on not making mistakes than on actually learning new grammar or vocabulary.

The service that I have been working on allows you to practice with a language tutor via online chat messages, or you can have a turn-based voice conversation.

I'm working on a number of other features that will be coming out shortly, including a few games for practising pronunciation and listening skills, as well as a plan to release some lesson plans for specific languages later on.

Have a try, and let me know if you have any feedback!
“Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, which is fundamental to many industry projects, was absent from the regulator’s case against the exchange. It also did not feature in the list of 12 “crypto asset securities” specified in the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance.”
I wish there was a similar client that has full feature support but that's the problem with matrix, too many features, signal, discord, slack, zoom and teams all meshed into one thing. Would be nice if they had a secure chat only sub-protocol.

>What is interesting to see is how a lot of fan remaster projects have this problem to a much lesser degree. Having the touchstone of a shared love for the original makes it much easier to organize and get people to stick around and agree to someone's vision.

Well that makes sense: in a remaster, the "vision" is really just "let's modernize this old game". So everyone knows what it's supposed to look like, basically, because they can just look at the old game itself.

I've started using this and also tried LinearMouse and LogiOptions. Using two Macs interchangeably with two different Logitech mice, I somehow fail to get a consistent experience across all setups. Scrolling behavior also 'feels' different depending on the application browser vs code editor, etc.)

And then there's some weird scroll wheel wobble on my MX Master 3, which gets interpreted differently depending on what software I use and the occasional disconnect even if the receiver is right next to the mouse...
