Another bonkers thing I've noticed since moving to the US:

In the UK, zebra crossings (pedestrian crossings not protected by traffic lights) have two features which help make them safe:

1. Flashing orange lamps, which allow a driver to see the crossing from a distance, even if their view of the roadway is obscured by vehicles in front of them.

2. No parking zones for several car lengths either side of the crossing, which allow a driver to have an unobstructed view of the pavement (sidewalk) on either side of the crossing, so they can see if there are pedestrians about to start crossing.

In contrast, when I drive here, I have to be really vigilant to watch out for crossings that have neither a stop sign nor a traffic light. And then, because there are cars obscuring my view of the sidewalk and first few feet of the crossing, I have to slow down and look directly to the right as I pass, lest I see a pedestrian a second too late.

This poor design makes pedestrians distrustful (and rightly so) so, in many places, pedestrians will wait at crossings until there are no cars in sight, and only then start to cross, even though they had right of way all along.
In many countries the police can pull over a vehicle and fine a passenger that isn’t wearing a seatbelt.
Is your startup using Phoenix liveviews? Front-end development with liveviews isn't something to bet a startup on. The learning curve is a major pain in the ass once you go beyond hello-world. The community is very small. The lack of up-to-date reference material lends Phoenix liveview development towards the wild frontier of adventure type of development that isn't compatible with 2-week sprints.

Anyone reading this who wants to jump in the ring-- show me how to handle an event triggered by a row in a table accessed through a tab-navigation component, updating the table. As an encore, show me how to carry state from plug middleware to a liveview function. Each situation involves contortions and passing state between steps due to designs yet to be refactored.

Gave Bing Chat an MP3 URL and it just refused. I know I can do this with software on my PC, or maybe there's an online service where I can upload but I was hoping this would be something Bing Chat/ChatGTP would excel at. I tried first giving it the URL of the article where the MP3 was embedded, and then tried a direct link.
Sounds like the same thing to me. Incentivizing something that is unintended.
It's really dependent on the area that you are in

Humans are terrible at risk management and there is still a stupidly large contingent of people who think seat belt laws are "nanny state", or that seat belts are "more dangerous" and they'd "rather be thrown clear in an accident"

Used cars, rent, nicer computers, there's all sorts of relatively large purchases that could be reasonably paid in a stack of large bills. Cash has a nice permanence to the transaction, where I as a seller don't need to be too concerned with the purchaser's background, as their proof of payment is the physical payment itself.

An alternative to taxing or fees, is to allow the free market to utilize the capital that would have gone to fees to further advance our understanding and capabilities. The technological advances lost due to onerous fees across industries could be keeping us in a CO2 producing scenario.
Ironically, if one uses the export feature from G-docs they actually use LibreOffice under the covers (I'd guess Xvnc or similar); I found this snippet hiding in a g-doc export, so it's entirely possible they use something different for .xls exports

Because the intent of such a hypothetical law would be to reduce/capture C02, but the end result of it is that it financially incentivizes generating more C02 through some unexpended/unanticipated means.

An unintended consequence might be that yes companies do correctly follow the law and adding carbon to concrete is successful, but also adding carbon to concrete in high enough volumes makes the lifetime of the concrete lesser when exposed to rainwater for long enough, or something like that, resulting in the need to replace the concrete more frequently.

Its the difference between people acting in good faith vs neutral/bad faith with respect to the intent of the law/regulation/etc..

The ISA doesn't really matter (at least, not between MIPS, ARMv8, and RISC-V) when you're first diving into computer organisation. That's why one book can be sold with three different ISAs. The overarching concepts are mostly the same: you have digital logic, IEEE-754, basic assembly (add, sub, and, not, xor, load, store, shift), pipelining and hazards, caches.

Only afterwards do the differences between the ISAs come to play, when you have complex vector and ISA-specific instructions, superscalar pipelines, atomic instructions, etc.
I live on a 6 acre hobby 'farm' and have had a huge garden in the ground in my own native sandy loam here... but the only good pepper plants I've ever managed to grow were grown in partially composted coffee grinds mixed about 50% with sand... in pots.

But that was when I worked at the Google Waterloo office and could get as much a quantity of grinds as I wanted from the cafe there. Wish I still had access to that. 1 day of grinds was a 5 gallon bucket!
Jetbrains tried to market an alternative to Xcode but it never gained much traction apparently.
Speaking as a primarily BE dev with a preference for static typing - what I love about React is that TSX makes writing view code much easier. I get type safety to check that I'm passing in all parameters I'm using, type checking + the editor's autocomplete helps with HTML and CSS that I'm not as familiar with, and TSX being a relatively light sugar over Typescript provides more flexibility/power/ease-of-use than any templating language I've worked with. Go templates and ASP.NET .aspx templates (I think those are for Web Forms, specifically?) are much more annoying to work with.

Sepsis occurs when inflammations goes from being localized to being spread throughout your entire body. The bacterial infection is obviously the root of the problem, but it's the inflammation that actually kills. Being able to turn off that severe systemic inflammation might buy doctors precious hours or even days to successfully treat the infection before the patient's critical organ system shut down for good.

As laypeople, should probably take a beat before saying statements made by experts and medical researchers are "meaningless."

From google:

>Sepsis is a highly inflammatory disorder with the presence of organ dysfunction in severe cases and mostly caused by bacterial infection (Bone et al., 1989).
It’s a fact: all European workers are lazy, their countries are poor, their cites are ugly and dangerous, food is terrible, health care non-existent, no successful companies to speak of etc ;)
Of course it's monopolistic. What standard are you comparing to? You don't need to have 100% of the market to exert monopoly control.

Non-monopoly behavior would be users and developers having the choice to offer & install iOS apps outside of Apple's app store, but choosing the app store because the trade-off of fees is considered fair for the trust & platform convenience gained in exchange.
The comment speaks for itself: "I think he approaches it the wrong way," and the only problem is the ambiguous 6/9.

Strangely, I think right on red might even be safer, as:

- you must come to a complete stop before making the turn, and

- as your light is red, you know to look out for pedestrians or vehicles that have right of way

This isn't a difference between SSR and SPA, it's a difference between using a modern framework and rolling your own.

If I get a user-provided string from the server as a JSON property and set it via `.innerHTML =`, I have an XSS vulnerability. If I use React's JSX string interpolation, I don't.

If I get a user-provided string from a database and inject it with a PHP `<?= ?>` tag directly, I have an XSS vulnerability. If I use Laravel with Blade templates [0], I don't.

You're not saved from XSS by virtue of using JavaScript to render your code, you're saved from XSS by using a framework that escapes everything by default. Whether that framework builds the escaped HTML on the client or the server is immaterial.

This fully fully depends on the article. We want to respect our readers' time, so while we love doing big investigations, it's a lot to ask people to ONLY read 2,000-5,000-word articles about complicated topics. We want to have a lot of short posts that are insightful or about the news. So, for example, this was a breaking story I did yesterday:

https://www.404media.co/biden-administration-changes-mind-sa...

This article took me 20-30 minutes to write, edit, and publish. It's still news, but it's more of an update on something I've covered and written about literally hundreds of times before. So I am providing some of the context about the decision that I can recite from memory (I check the specifics, of course), telling people what's new, and providing them the document.

This article I published earlier today, meanwhile, is something I've been poking along on for weeks, talked to a lot of sources on, read a lot of academic papers on, etc.

https://www.404media.co/instagram-ads-illegal-content-drugs-...

At Motherboard our main way of operating was to always have a big investigation or narrative feature going on in the background, but to be on the lookout for news or timely things to do that align with our "beats" (the things we cover day-to-day, the topics we know inside and out). Usually features are something that you poke along on for weeks or months and go through a very rigorous back-and-forth editing process.

FOIA stuff can "take" months or years, but often very little of that is active work time. The way that works is you file a request, wait for the agency to respond, and bug them a bunch when they miss deadlines or don't respond. I've had FOIA requests returned the same day, and I've had others returned five years after I file them.

Good question!

...which releases methane (CH4) into the atmosphere since it is in an anaerobic atmosphere. And then the cycle is no longer the neutral CO2 -> coffee bean -> CO2 but it added CH4 to the atmosphere which heats the planet.

Ideally all bio waste is industrially composted and the generated CH4 used to generate electricity and heat, but sequestering it is also okay.
A copyright is a government granted monopoly. The copyright office has stated they wont grant monopoly privilege for ai generated art. The courts thus far have backed them up.

I would say it doesnt look good at the moment for to try and enforce ownership of something ai generated, it would be an uphill battle, and the default/null position would be that the art is free to use, and unprotected by government.

I turned off the clipboard history app I use and now LibreOffice pastes like Excel.

The history app I use is 10 years old and I see that the company that made it apparently is no longer around (or at least their domain no longer works) so I guess I should get a newer clipboard history app.
Wow, the full article in the RSS summary... I'm deeply touched. It reminds me of an old, not hostile web. Maybe it's a configuration error, in which case thanks for the experience :D

It is only relevant as evidence that antitrust != monopoly laws. They include monopoly laws, of course; but there is more to them than that.

This isn't a decided case, such that I don't know what you are asking? Do we have evidence that Sony/Nintendo won't let you be a paying developer? More, do we have evidence that they would let you, but then after possibly benefiting from your efforts, kick you off their platform with no recourse?

I confess I would not be too surprised if we do have some of that evidence, but I haven't seen it. We have seen plenty of shady crap from those companies, but there are material other differences that make them hard to compare.

One can like the iOS platform and still advocate for general-purpose computing. I don't understand why folks on Hacker News, of all places, defend walled gardens so vehemently.
If solution is defined as benefit(option)/cost(option) >= 100 (which I think you do) then there are solutions.

If solution is defined as benefit > 0 for cost == 0, then there are no solutions.
There existed general purpose computing platforms, but there’s also been just as many if not more completely closed platforms. Selling ringtones only existed because of how closed most phones were at the time.

Palm OS 1.0 was nothing close to a general purpose computing platform. They didn’t even add TCP/IP support until 2.0.

If anything the ability to lockdown Palm devices was a major selling point to many customers’s internal IT systems. That’s something I think people arguing for open platforms are ignoring, some customers really do want closed systems for various reasons.

Going to use this comment thread to field an opinion of mine to see if it's worth elaborating on further:

Python added an infix operator for matrix multiplication back in 2014, and the prevalence of "Python+NumPy for data analysis and number crunching" has only exploded since. I think it's time that NumPy becomes part of the standard library which ships with the CPython interpreter. There are many reasons why this would become a logistical nightmare, but personally I think it'd be worthwhile if it means that the presence of a Python interpreter equates to the presence of a fantastic numerical computing library, and it means anything built on top of NumPy could be truly "pure Python". It means I can ship a 2KiB zipapp and as long our Python versions match then there's no more fiddling with dependency management nonsense when distributing scripts.

I acknowledge that much like Golang, Python's ecosystem mostly assumes you'll be capable of pulling 3rd party dependencies—hence the inclusion of pip and venv. Unlike Golang, which downloads the dependency tree as source and compiles it on each install, tooling for working with 3rd party Python dependencies is messy and requires the user to learn about lots of tooling, especially if they need to build their dependencies from source.

I also acknowledge that 3rd party dependency management is much better today than it was 10 years ago. Conda/poetry/pipenv/etc. have made things better, and in many cases people are deferring to tools not directly associated with the Python ecosystem to simplify their dependency management (e.g. Docker). So many will see the inclusion of NumPy in the stdlib as a bunch of work that is already solved by other tools.

As a final note, this would also force NumPy to have versions that are tied to the Python interpreter, which would be another change for the maintainers of NumPy.

I'll conclude with the statement that just because Python users have become accustomed to the complexity associated with their dependency tooling doesn't mean it always has to be that way. It is my unconfirmed belief that a large amount of teaching content and 3rd party libs that could switch from "please download this binary blob from PyPA servers for this to work" to "If you have a Python interpreter you're good to go".
>It has been a miracle of cost effectiveness. This is a wonder on its own.

India has the third highest global GDP by PPP. This is incredibly powerful when you invest in your citizens education the way they have, as the cost of anything like this ends up coming down to skilled labor prices. Their number one competitive advantage at this point is human capital.

Well done to everyone involved!
You are confusing shortening with simplifying. The `if let` syntax is an unnecessary addition to the language so it is by definition an added complexity. Of course the resulting code is much easier to read and I definitely agree that it's a nice feature but I wouldn't pretend it made the language simpler, just more comfortable once you already know it.
Arguably very useful options. For instance, try using 7zip to extract an .exe installer sometime -- right click on it and extract it into its own dir and see what is in it.
> *Important to note that "class" in this paper is defined as income class, even though they refer to it at times as social class

Those are essentially the same thing in the US, as opposed to, say, the UK, where it's quite a bit more complicated.

It's not a blur so much as intentionally designed to use how a CRT/Composite video would artifact on a CRT. It's not a matter of better or worse, just that filters/simulation won't work well for that same effect.

Also, in a lot of ways a good CRT does look significantly better than all but OLED displays for games. The down side is they're heavy. I used to have two 22" calibrated flat screen displays that I loved, and only very recently are new displays visual quality on par. I stopped using them more because of space and size than quality. They weighed 85# each and had a permanent bow in the desk I was using back then. Moving 3x in one summer I decided to go with flat pannel. Not as good, but was doing less design work and more programming since then.
