Here's the government attorney explaining how Twitter should do it:

a simple process.

I don't profess to be a technological wizard, but
it does not seem to be a complex issue.

Reminds me of freelancing nightmares where the client would being with: "This should only take a few hours but I need a website with a simple store front and shopping cart...". The best response I came up with to these clients was: if you know exactly how long it will take then you must know exactly the steps involved and how long each takes so you can do the work yourself and you don't need me :P
That is not the actual problem. The actual problem is a badly mismanaged regulatory system for water pricing.

One of the reasons League of Legends is so addictive is the entire time, you're looking at a calming lush green colourscape, similar to green colours shown in this article.
> I feel like all this "twitter is a hellscape now" is posing trying to get back at Musk because his idea about who should be allowed on twitter doesn't match theirs. And mainly for politically tribal and partisan reasons, to be blunt.

I'm sure this is true of some people, but the habitual Twitter users I know have basically given up on the site as a shared social space because of changes to the feed algorithm and the blue check system making the sort of social engagement they used to regularly enjoy on the site almost impossible.
There are several giant warehouses near Milton Keynes (GB) that have blue horizontal stripes. Perhaps these links will work for a bit:

It is. On Windows 10 it's View -> Update Speed -> Paused. On Windows 11 it's more hidden because the redesign got rid of the menu bar, but you can still find it by clicking on the gear icon in the bottom, then changing the "real time update speed" dropdown.

Maybe a big "pause" button next to the "end task" button would have been better, but it's not that undiscoverable. It's certainly easier to find than the option to show additional columns in the details view, like gpu memory used, the full command line, or total CPU time.
> Language is not rigorous and logically correct.
Unless you're planning to demand your users only use one particular language only a well defined subset of it.

Can you demonstrate why this is the case?
Open google chrome > click options (3 dots) in upper right corner > Extensions > Manage Extensions > Click to toggle Developer Mode in upper right corner > upper left corner button "Load Packged" > Load the directory of the un-zipped .zip file

Next, back in the normal browser-- Click the puzzle piece icon where your extensions icons are to the right side of the URL address bar. Click the little thumbtack next to Little Rat extension. Now it's installed and shows in the list of extension icons
Without ads, probably pretty badly.
Okay cool; so we should... ban companies that build social networks that are too inclusive?

What is the action you're suggesting?
How often did you have chocolate poisoning?

The point is to have an early warning in a situation where gas concentration potentially increases from harmless to dangerous levels, as in a mine shaft, where ventilation is limited. Something that is harmful in low doses to a bird isn't necessarily so to us, until it is too late, which makes the bird useful as an early warning signaller so people can get out early when the dose is still harmless and thus not easily detectable.

Thus the saying "the dose makes the poison".
I love that style; takes me back to my youth. I still have a translucent blue extension lead from that era, and it's currently used for my home A/V. That marks over 20 years of service.

I also remember Nintendo 64s and their controllers coming in see-through cases. These cases were available in a variety of bright colours. Ref: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3c/87/ae/3c87ae0913e29c2109cc...

It can't all be rose tinted glasses; the world was genuinely more colourful back then.

Ask HN: How do people get work done with Windows 11?
I left Windows back in the XP/Win 7 days, and have not used it at all in all those years.

I'm at a relative's house now, and the touchpad and keyboard on their fairly new Lenovo laptop simply will not work. We've confirmed they both function perfectly while in the BIOS, so it's not a hardware problem.

We've deleted and re-installed drivers so many times in Windows 11 my head is spinning. We've Restored Windows 11 and spent hours and hours on forums and tech support. Nothing we do changes anything at all. Windows refuses to make them work.

It's 2023 and I can't believe I'm spending so many hours just to make the computer work.
Do people often still do this?
I like green energy as much as the next guy but I think it's hard to know if it's growing organically or growing because the government is spending trillions of dollars on it.

> Asthma and allergic diseases cases have risen in recent decades. Plant pollen is considered as the main aeroallergen causing allergic reactions. According to available data, urban residents experience more respiratory allergies than rural residents mainly due to the interaction between chemical air pollutants and pollen grains.

From: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5941124/

There's a lot of research linking the two - particulate matter in the air from burning coal is another allergen related to this.
Public clouds don't dictate what people use. You can freely run windows or any other OS on an AWS or Google VPS, it's just people very seldom choose to do so, because (this is the punchline), linux is just that much more popular and developer-friendly.

The domination of linux in the hosting / server world predates the existence of public clouds. I was there, I remember.

At the turn of the millennium for a very very brief time there were a lot of windows servers running ASP.NET. That was it. Nothing has come close to linux since then, and it has absolutely nothing to do with what AWS/GCP offers. What they offer is entirely beholding to what developers like.
It's a central and ongoing misunderstanding throughout the document that, beyond verified users, the Court does not realize Twitter account is not associated with a verified human identity. A judge should not be walking into this case completely ignorant of the subject matter that will be presented to them, but this one is.
We were promised cheaper energy. Nothing is cheaper about renewables, and the costs grow ~3% per year. To say nothing of the raw materials demand, requirement of fossil fuels to develop and use 'renewables' and the cost to replace such equipment. For example, battery replacement for EV are outside of affordability for the mass market. And of course, there is the inescapable long term problem of 250MM electric vehicles requiring charge when we're already telling people that they can't charge their EV due to grid constraints. The inconvenient truth is this; there isn't enough raw material on earth to electrify all transportation, upgrade the entire national grid (every line, every transformer, every substation) to meet the demand that an total EV conversion demands, not for 30 years and definitely not by 2030. Saying otherwise is simple wishful thinking. My apologies in advance for offending the perpetual victims in the church of climatology.
Any other time and HN would be cheering that user data was attempted to be kept private and not disclosed. But one whiff of it being on the wrong side of a political divide and it becomes a witch hunt.
You can delete posts within two hours and dang is usually good about deleting stuff if you email him directly from what others have said in the past. If you can’t delete it, you can edit it to be blank.

Edit: two hours, thanks
Easy-peasy, just open the last 6 years of twitter access logs in Excel and ctrl-F for Donny's ip/device identifier!
Points about the main problem being organizational aside, Jira has been consistently unreliable in the I’ve 10 years of using it (both hosted and self hosted). It’s a moving target. Right now, I can’t add a comment from a mobile browser (either their mobile view or requesting desktop mode) so I have to use their mobile app, which is very poor compared to the web product, especially for teams with customized screens/workflows. Their rich text editor has consistently sucked and has destructive bugs in it. Despite being logged in, it eats comments and updates all the time with various csrf or authentication errors. Tomorrow it will be something else.

We use cross functional teams so it’s impossible leverage Releases to effectively coordinate releases to software that lives between multiple Jira projects. I’d rather use gitlab issues or whatever, but in an organization with lots of products, product people understandably hate those comparatively inflexible repository-based issue management. So that’s part of Jira or any issue management system is rectifying the strategic (product, project) and tactical (engineering and support). Jira's the only one that comes close (at least that I have used for any length of time) which is why it isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
Quite the contrary, it aged extremely well. Debian testing/sid is very usable on a desktop/laptop; I've used it successfully in such fashion for something like a decade. Nowadays I do prefer a distro/OS with a 6-month release cycle (like NixOS or OpenBSD), but as far as rolling releases go, Debian has always been great.
There are bunches of ways to do dynamic sites that don't use any js, and even more that use just a tiny bit of js. For examples of the first, "update on submit" and "long-polling HTML" (you can use CSS to make this like an SPA) come immediately to mind. The first has the advantage of demanding a conversational UI (the UI never changes except when the user expects), and the second has, well, ok, not much, but it gives you a WebSockets-like flow while being compatible with mid-90s tech.
Many HN users have been on the other side of doing CCPA and GDPR data compliance and have more than passing familiarity with what is required and how that differs from what is desired.

The four word summary of "right to be forgotten" does not properly encompass the PII that can be requested to be deleted nor differentiate it from other data which can be retained.
Aurora Serverless – A Migration Story
On our team we swapped databases 6 times in a year. We’ve landed on Aurora Serverless V2 – was it worth it?
Usually HN culture with their Python and Ruby stuff.

I wouldn't change Jakarta EE, Spring, ASP.NET for framework of the day, with a subset of functionality and molass performance, unless told otherwise by customer architect.
same. I don't get it. When I see windows on a machine I want to install linux and just remove windows completely. And then little details about linux make me give up and just use a mac.
Ethics teams would never let you conduct a scientific study of giving some unknown chemical in the food and water of unknowing people to see what effect it had on them.

But if you do it anyway and don't record the results, then it isn't a study, so you don't even need to ask the ethics panel!
> Twitter almost certainly stores some sort of device identifier that can accomplish this.

They definitely do, and use this as part of when they ban a user permanently - all other accounts (i.e. "backup" accounts) that have ever used the device in question get banned as well. Happened way too often in my circles.
If it were any other man I'd be considering your conspiracy theory but Musk has become so completely unhinged that imho Hanlon's Razor wins. The man has a terminal case of internet poisoning.
That's because most of them haven't "really" migrated to containers. Once this is done the process of using a newer version of Java will become seamless.
Most people don't recognise the importance of backups until they need said backups.
> They explicitely are trying to make sure international buyers don't come in and swoop the land for scraps

You're claiming that the state is going to overpay vs the moguls? That's a handout to the home owners.

Developers are going to buy the land to develop it & rent or re-sell it. If they did so, that would benefit new entrants (buyers, renters).

But I guess we're not allowed to indirectly let developers have any benefit? Are developers are inherently evil?

Why do home owners deserve a handout? Why should owning a home have no risk, and any losses are socialized onto renters while all gains are kept for the owners?
It's been around about a century. It's difficult to manufacture a consistent biosimilar insulin. Regulation, physicians and patients all place a high premium on consistency and especially avoiding inconsistent doses that cause hypoglycemia. Additionally, the manufacturers, physicians and patients all push to move to new insulins as often as they become available, reducing the demand for generics (which is why, even though Walmart and Costco sell cheap over-the-counter insulin, almost no one uses it.)

One interesting project to watch is the partnership between Civica and the state of California to produce quality generic insulin. CA obviously has deeper pockets than Cuban was willing to commit to Cost Plus, so hopefuly the partnership will be more fruitful.
Maybe this is common outside of where I live and I'm blissfully unaware, but I went on a work trip recently and was surprised/disturbed by how every lunch/dinner spot was QR code menus. Multiple of these links went through a marketing platform redirect and the only reason this was obvious to me was the preview dialog on the iPhone camera showed a different domain than the page I landed on. I read the privacy policy for one of these platforms and it was not great.

It's already hard enough to get people to understand how URLs work, QR codes really don't help. Certainly it's in the best interest of corporations to scan codes in emails for security purposes, but I think it's on QR code reader producers (e.g. Apple via iOS camera) to make the concept safer somehow. I'd also really like to see well meaning people, like restaurants, create codes that do not use redirects or any other trickery and to have the link written out for the rightfully paranoid. And paper menus would be cool too...
I wish more operating systems had adopted macOS's feature to search through menu bar items, which also automatically points to where it is in the menu.
I have this on my garage, mostly because occasionally I’m an idiot.

One feature that OP can use is that you can set a schedule to automatically open or close the door at given times. So in my case I have it set to close at noon and ten p.m. if it’s already closed nothing happens. If it’s open there’s a warning alarm for 10-15 seconds from the garage door opener and then it closes.
Because text-{color}-{shade} is more descriptive of what the color affects. Again color is not an aspect of the font (which is the typeface plus styling like weight, size, etc.) so naming it font-{color}-{shade} would be technically incorrect. (You can argue that ignoring this technicality would result in a cleaner API, but the comment I was replying to was suggesting it was a mistake, which it isn't.)
How does that compare to current way of thinking when countries just increase mandatory retirement age for everyone?
Competition: AI Research Assistants for NASA
In your theory, what does Elon get in return for these 'favors'?
With a little creativity, HTMX can enable some extremely UX-friendly interactive sites. Keep in mind that it makes it trivially easy to entirely swap out small, or large, sections of a web page. So things that used to be standard boring forms can be interactive step-by-step pathways that adapt to the user's selections. Very easy to deliver progress updates and validation cues to users that seem to appear magically without page reloads. It's still early but HTMX continually inspires me (a poor designer) to execute new UI ideas because it makes it very simple to conceptualize how they can be built (and simple to actually build). Tailwind is also essential in this process, for me.
"destroy jobs"

> Jobs up 95%

"more expensive"

> free money.
The humidity (in Utah) in that room was like 4%. Datacenters should be between ~45 or 60-80% humidity, depending on which source you read, to prevent electrostatic discharge. It was way cheaper than installing and running a mini-split. Plus, I NEEDED the added humidity.
Used to be the same in Italy too, I expect it's still the case in many towns and cities - but this is Rome, a stone throw from the Vatican; you can't get away with that sort of behavior in those places anymore.

Besides, this is a momentous discovery that will accrue a lot of political capital for the palace owners - precisely because they didn't spoil such treasure. Had it been some random Roman house with a couple of mosaics, things would have probably been a bit different.
It might not be the cheapest option, but I'd probably get a HomeKit sensor, if you are in the Apple ecosystem. Then you'd just get alerts on status changes, and you can add it as a second home in the Home app.

This is a curious take considering there isn't a person on earth who can force another person to learn, use, and sharpen the technical skills required to work in tech sectors. Are you saying that the success of one group through innovation shouldn't occur because another group refuses or is incapable of learning the skills required for the aforementioned?
Russia didn’t attack Ukraine because of unemployment numbers. They attacked right at the moment when the oil price reached 100 dollar per barrel. All the Russian government needed are customers buying their oil and gas to pay for the war. They give a shit about their own people and the same is true for China. China will attack if they feel like they have enough reserves and their customers are so dependent on China, that they cannot sanction the regime, even when it starts a war.
The market tends to be incredibly inefficient after disasters.

So, yes, we probably should give them at least some short term assistance so they don't have to sell their most important asset at rock bottom prices. The banks get it, so should they.

I wouldn't call it "stealing", though.
Title was ‘Forever Chemicals’ Are Everywhere. What Are They Doing to Us? ?
Probably because it aligns with this administration's push to create clean energy jobs, in large part, by (quite successfully) pushing for EV and EV battery manufacturing in the US.
There are things they can't do due to erasure but they use generics quite a bit in the API. Spring Boot uses generics for the CRUD interfaces etc.
We (I included) have been doing this EXACT thing for a long with with the stock market. We take ALL the data, build a model, then ask for an output buy/sell signal.

The idea for using this type of model, from quants, was applied to language, THAT was the new idea. Now it sounds like you are saying "what if" we took a step backwards, but again, we this is exactly how we use these models now, is trained on data.
Demographic destiny is the Lucy pulling the football away from liberals’ Charlie Brown. In the first few elections after Joe Biden took office in the 1970s, Democrats won the Congressional popular vote by 6-17 percentage points. Their margin was only 3 percentage points in 2020, and they lost by 3 percentage points last year. Liberalism is weaker than it has been in half a century.
I am not specifically talking about crop choice here.

Center pivot irrigation requires very little infrastructure for a farmer, but spraying a light mist is a great way to evaporate water before it even reaches any plants.

Similarly, water pooling on the surface evaporates faster than water sitting just an inch below the soil. Alpha doesn’t directly care about this difference, but one is far cheaper than the other if and only if you price that water at close to 0$.

Of course if farmers needed to price in water then things like crop choice would change, but that’s simply the market reacting to price signals. Aka the vary basis of our economy.
> [...] people are afraid of getting a ticket they slam on their brakes.

There should be some kind of warning before the red light comes on.

I've got it! A cell phone app. Whenever you're driving: the app sends your coordinates to the cloud, and every traffic light is also linked in via dirt-cheap IoT. Then, at some point between the light being green and red, the user is warned through a tweet, text, or email message that the red light will go on soon! They can navigate away from the video they were watching while driving, click through the terms of the website, adjust for their privacy preferences, take advantage of any offers that might pop up, and still find out a few seconds before the light turns red!

And then: because we know they'll be stopped at the light and for how long, we can show them a short video offering them valuable products and services right near where they are located! We can do this! Who's in?
> You wonder what do all these people living here do for a living?

Most of those people either a) commute a long distance to scrape by and lose a significant chunk of their earnings on gas because they own a 30 year old hoopty of a truck or b) live off of welfare. That’s how a lot of these small communities continue to exist. People can’t afford to move out and obviously don’t want to commit suicide (nor should they).

Having come from a small town, I don’t think these people will move even if it’s paid for. Many rural folk have these warped views of more populace towns and cities because of the warped political rhetoric and constant bombardment of negative news coverage.

It’s an extremely difficult problem that I don’t personally believe has a solution because you have to have willing participation (some will, but most won’t).
