There are positive and negative rights. Everything you mentioned in the first sentence is a positive right while the second is a negative right. A right to healthcare implies that someone else must provide it(unless you meant that someone is actively preventing you from recieving healthcare). The right to 3d print an object does not mean someone must provide a 3D printer to you.
I too am a secret tab-lover, forced into the darkened corners of the internet by the vocal space-worshipping majority. Stay strong; they can take the tabs from your work but they can never take them from your heart!

How long is that typical list?
How often do you pick the things at the bottom of that list vs the results near the top?
So if you opt in then your website won't get clicks -> no ad revenue for you since google will "steal" the clicks via their summarization.

And if you opt out google will eventually just push you down.
> you’re not an engineer and have no business being hired as one at a place like Apple

well, unless you have a engineering degree, you're not actually an engineer, but we'll gloss over that. (big hint CS isn't an engineering discipline, otherwise testing, requirements gathering and cost analysis would be a big part of the course. )

I was once asked to implement a distributed fault tolerant hashtable on a whiteboard. I'd still never make one from scratch unless I really really needed to. (and I've worked on distributed datastores....)

but that wasn't part of the coding test, that was part of the design test.

Which is my point, re-implementing things for the hell of it, is an antipattern. rote learning of toy implementations of some everyday function doesn't give you a good signal on if the candidate understands why you should use x over y.

and again, my point is this: If I catch someone re-implementing something in a code review, they need to have a really good fucking reason to do it, otherwise it'll be rejected.
Google shifted ranking to length under the guise of quality to cover for the increased ad impressions they were getting for those junk rambling articles.

Google has been enshitifiying the web for a good while now, and I used to work there! I worked hard to make the core product more efficient but ultimately your internal goals just override the external ecosystem. And with so much power google was able to exert a shifting force on the web.
Both projects benefit. Tor gets funding to improve parts of the main Tor browser to meet Mullvad's specifications, Mullvad gets a new product and incidentally gets to financially support a project that they obviously admire.

The actual reskin is technically not all that challenging, for all that I'd still not want to do it just for fun. I'm sure that if Mullvad wanted to, they could have released a rebranded Tor Browser with their own development team. But that would have meant missing out on what is probably the main point of the exercise, which is giving more¹ money to the Tor project to make things better for everyone.

[1]: See also https://www.torproject.org/about/membership/, wherein we discover that Mullvad gives Tor a minimum of $100k/year for membership.
So is there some system that implements text/image classification for automatic law enforcement submission that you're referring to? Also jurisdiction, etcetc.

It all seems incredibly complex. Not a reason to "not try", but i suspect we'll struggle to implement even the most basic thing. And even then, take that basic thing and apply it to every software where users can input data.

Plus we'd have to convince everyone to do this. Automatic scanning and submission of data is not a well liked topic. Remember how Apple doing basic CSAM scanning was full of panic?

Even if a government _forced_ us to do this, jurisdiction alone would be a big question. Some serious questions that need some serious thought, imo. Is being hand-wavy even worth the time?
Maybe that is what happened, and we somehow managed to make due without energon deposits and vibranium.

> What matters is that tabs let developers control how much space each indent has, while also allows you to set it to your preferred size. Everyone wins!

Couldn't you make a custom font with a ligature between two spaces that then takes up more horizontal space?

That way, you could still control how big each indent is, yet still use spaces.
Effective for whom? And at doing what?

> Give your support agents access to a functioning dev version.

Exactly as I said, it's already too late. For it to be most effective, such advice must arrive before I start coding.
>Practically universal

"I use Ubuntu and develop in full stack JavaScript so everyone else does too."

No, it is not "practically universal". Alpine Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, illumos UNIX distros, etc. do not follow this imposed "standard".

>Even if there's a Linux distro going out of it's way not to set them

You have this backwards. The systemd standard is imposed on Linux, not the other way around.

>In practice I've never encountered users with a distro that didn't have these variables set.

We're getting closer. There are riscv chips in the <$0.10 range. https://www.hackster.io/news/wch-launches-a-sub-10-risc-v-mi...

At some point you get to a weird place where the logic transistors are so small you get some gate count for free just fitting around the pad drivers and pin protection diodes. We're getting pretty rapidly to the ~10k gate count there where a stripped down classic RISC makes sense.
Is religious debate allowed on HN? :)
That's weird, because I'm seeing as much activity, engagement and interaction as I've always seen.

There are a lot fewer insane takes being posted by accounts that may or may not be bots, but I'm not really missing that as they just derailed the conversation.

I get the impression that more 'normal' people are now using the platform; the quality and ... coherence ... of replies has gone way up.

Also happy to see a lot less engagement from 'people' that post insane takes then meme out and block when questioned.
Ignition! - a history of rocket fuels - from which this quote originates - is freely available online and an excellent read: https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pd...
The bees you can breed are not the bees/pollinators that nature is losing. This is like suggesting that to counter the global collapse in birds, you should raise chickens… Worse, domestic bees are often competitors to wild bees, bumblebees, etc. The solution there lies in fighting against the use of broad-spectrum pesticides, planting hedgerows, allowing meadows to thrive, etc.
For a long time now CAPTCHAs only make bots more expensive. There are plenty of (human-staffed) services that will solve your captchas for $0.001-$0.005 per solved captcha. Better AI lowers the cost, but it's not necessarily a massive change of the status quo.
The History of Art without Men by Katy Hessel is a fascinating look back at the development of western art but with a focus on the women whose works either made an impact and were forgotten by art history, or whose work never got the recognition it deserved.

She does a great job at highlighting the social pressures that prevented these women either from achieving long lasting recognition or from reaching the same access to education, tools or simply dissemination as their male counterparts.
Fair point regarding the benefit of being able to use the on-screen (or external even) keyboard for testing! A lot of apps that do barcode scanning have that as a fallback if the code is unreadable/destroyed.

And I agree that for large warehouses the cost of having a fleet of managed, dedicated devices is amortized pretty quickly.

Well, I'm not quite at ease with trusting a third party to try to guess my (ever changing?) world view.

How do you know it works well? How do you know it misses nothing? How do you know it's not subtly biased (intentionally or not) in a way you would not notice, or you would think it's good enough?

> I can read articles against my view and still get only what I want. My world view will become increasingly polarized, and it's already quite biased.

Yes, of course we all do, but it's another thing to involve a third party in this process.

You know what is truly better than spaces? PNGs.

With PNGs you always get both the exact same indentation width, but also the same fonts and font colors!

Tab proponents will talk junk about "preserving intention rather than incidental spacing". Space proponents will correctly point out that only spaces preserves alignment. Then don't even notice when the same code viewed on two different computers renders with two different FONTS!

Space lovers pretend alignment is super important, but are ignoring the biggest contributor to rendering differences!

Once you accept that preserving visual representation, aka rasterization, and not intention (tabbing) is important you unlock a world of options. With pngs you color code sections. You can mix fonts to mark meaning.

Best of all: once your editor is png aware the entire experience is transparent! Tabs are a cludge for outdated editors, real editors include powerful optimizations to OCR spaces/pngs into usable text files.
I feel like Captcha already takes into account of how quickly I select the pictures already. If I spend the time to get it perfect, I end up with more challenges than if I just select quickly based on my instincts.

> What would be achievements of similar impact that might be more achievable?

Artificial intelligence. By a gigantic margin. Fusion would be very expensive and likely not competitive with fission, due to vastly more complex and expensive reactors. So effectively useless. Quantum computers: Nobody knows what they would be practically useful for, not even experts like Scott Aaronson. (No, cracking RSA is not useful.) Room temperature superconductors: The most realistic example I have heard about them is ... smaller MRI machines. Great.

You would use hydrogen to produce methane to then burn in people's existing as furnaces using the existing natural gas distribution infrastructure. That seems to be Terraform's plan.

Still seems better to me to convert as much housing as possible to heat pumps, which seem much better fit for purpose than on-site combustion.

I think green hydrogen has a lot more potential as a precursor to liquid fuels for e.g. aviation and shipping, which otherwise will be extremely difficult to electrify.

Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be, and spaces do not. That’s it. That’s the entire reason why tabs are WORSE.
Neither of your examples is doing what the parent suggested as an alternative, which is simply looping and counting rather than creating an anonymous function to repeatedly call. I doubt this makes an enormous difference in practice, but you can see your generated assembly doing all the argument passing and stack frame setup, which is extra instructions compared to just straight looping and counting.

Yeah so much of the philosophy of the future appears to me as science-fiction LARPing as philosophy. The annoying part is that they deny or overlook that, seemingly so enamoured with their own brilliance as they often are. And as you say, doom-mongering in the form of presenting what look like reasonable existential risks is just more amenable to funding. I could sit here imagining up existential risks all day long when all that can be said for the human race and its progress is “ seems to be going ok so far!”

It would be hard to get funding for an existential philosophy that said “everything is fine, and will just roll along and whatever will be will be”.

I think you are over-reading it. The nihilistic mindset is not necessarily defeatism, it's just accepting that it does not matter in the universe-wide grand scheme of things.

I personally think that it's the most pragmatic view, if not the most rationale: with such an approach, only actions that are truly achievable retains attentions, if we try something, let's do the things that matters in the long run instead of trying literals shot in the stars.

Also, given the systematic and very damaging polarisation of all debates, I like being able to distance myself: it does not matter in the long run, so if the toxics annihilation has to happen, I won't be part of it, and it's probably the best I can actually do.
Tools should handle this so we can stop talking about it.

You mean "This just won't die"? Because it seems to me that Web Components are here to stay, especially since something like htmx boosts their functionality with absolutely minimal added cognitive load.

I feel that, pretty soon, the choices for a full-functioned web application that is easy to maintain with high development velocity is going to be:

1. Master HTMX and Web components in a day, and be productive

Or

2. Spend a month learning React, and still get hit by all the footguns.

By your definition "roguelike" feels exteremely narrow, maybe this is why the terms have become so conflated. When I think of rogue-like or lite games (since let's continue to conflate the terms), which are my most played on Steam, I think Spelunky, Risk of Rain, Slay the Spire, Isaac, Noita, FTL, Unrailed!, Spider Heck, maybe even PlateUp!, and of course Luck be a Landlord. It's a popular genre and none fit half your description. Sure they're all roguelite, some only having one or two of your points, but "roguelike" seems useless by your definition. It would only fit Rogue itself and pretty direct clones it seems. I haven't played Rogue....
