> I've always wanted a site that--instead of telling which product was the best--told me how to look for quality in the category I'm interested in. What does good look like? What makes a good quality water hose? What are the unsung features and considerations for drying hooks? What does quality look like in jeans? Am I paying for the brand or an actual meticulous craft?

This would have been very useful for me, even back when Wirecutter was the best option available.

Living in Canada means that I have reduced access to specific models of items; Wirecutter might recommend something great that I can buy on Amazon, or it might recommend something great that literally no retailer in Canada sells, or which costs twice as much in Canada as it does in the US for some reason. Sometimes I was able to grab the runner-up, or they would mention in the review that their pick, the DDW1345-B was 'nearly identical to the DDW1344-A, but with three extra HDMI ports but the same tungsten-carbide drill bits', so I could pick up the DDW1344-A knowing that if I didn't need those ports it was essentially the same as a recommendation.

It was endlessly frustrating, though, when they would recommend exactly what I was looking for (a combination air purifier/humidifier/oscillating fan!) for a reasonable price ($200!) which I either couldn't get or couldn't justify the Canadian price of ($450 plus $88 shipping, arrives in three months). I ended up finding other sites which offered perhaps less rigorous testing but would recommend things I could actually get (shoutout to RTings for even more in-depth testing of home theatre equipment and also being located in Canada).

> I'd rather have a few quality things, rather than a whole bunch of good enough things that I'd throw away next year.

This reminds me of a girl I once dated. She kept criticizing me for spending $8.99 on a water pitcher when I could get one at the dollar store "for like a buck" and "just replace it every year". It blew my mind. Why do I want to go shopping for a new water pitcher every year when I can just buy one and use it for way longer than our relationship is going to last?

If you're worried about backdoors, why did it take until this news for you to change your preference?

Also, 7zip is available prebuilt; You don't need to compile it yourself.
The beamer class has a [handout] option, which at least attempts to do this (with some corner cases IIRC, but it's been a while).
Not the person who posted the snippet. Yea, that should work. It tracks the position of the line that calls from() on the other error to convert it into MyError, which is what the ? operator will expand into.

More than the limit, what seems absurd to me is that businesses seem to be allowed to refuse cash as a form of payment. I am reading the translated version of the article, and it says:

> A seller can decide not to accept cash above a certain amount. Or not accepting cash at all.

Why would not accepting cash at all be allowed? What is the other alternative? Mastercard, visa etc? If for example, a super market chain stops accepting cash and starts accepting only Visa, and for whatever reason I do not have a visa credit card, or worse I am banned by Visa,then I cannot buy groceries anymore?
Also, I am not exactly sure everybody has access to a credit card. Maybe I am missing something here, but this seems a bit stupid/crazy to me.
Some tents are designed to use your hiking poles in place of some or all of the poles they would normally use. Get double duty out of the mass you carry. If you're going to carry it hundreds or thousands of miles weight becomes very important.
I really don't understand what point you tried to make. Claiming "you're the one responsible for your safety" really does not say anything, specially as you do not have the context or situational awareness to know whether staying put or running away will save your life or get you killed.

There are plenty of wildfires where individuals "responsible for their own safety" got themselves killed by driving straight into the expected path of the fire, against the express directions of emergency services. Would you call those cases a win in the libertarian books?

It's very weird how this belief that your amateur ignorance is far superior to the informed guidance of professional emergency services can get any traction whatsoever.
Honest question: have you ever used anything besides JS and related stuff (TS/react)?

Human evaluation is super expensive so yes. Seeing which sessions you discard and keep alone is worth the compute time, especially if it's GAN based.
Wow the baking soda thing is really interesting! You should add as a submission on HN. Thanks for sharing :)
This design would force you to make a choice: if you want to bubble the error up[1], then you either:

- discard the file path

- allocate

This way, you control the performance/UX trade-off. And it doesn't require much work: it's just a From implementation to add to your error enum.

[1] only higher than the actual owned path actually.

> If there is no copyright in AI-generated images, then how can they possibly enforce this?

We don't have precedent here. Whether a person using a website with a generative AI tool counts as having a non-human creator isn't clear, and it seems to me like the answer is that it does have a human creator. Using a horse-hair brush to paint a painting doesn't mean that the painting was created by a horse and isn't subject to copyright. We'll have to find out eventually whether over a dozen settings, some with a gazillion options, and multiple freeform inputs counts as 'not created by a human'.

Yes but this requires the user to opt-in, you can't do it silently:

Prices do not fall as much as needed to equalize mortgage payments.

404 has become a sign of censorship as we are seeing more pages taken down from Internet Archive and other places. I am excited to see you continue on surveillance and perhaps broaden into censorship and propaganda now that you are freed from some of the forces behind it.
> So, given that the frontend build is baked into _any_ application build, if you decide to do template rendering in any language other than JS/TS, you are adding another build to your project. That means you need to configure that build for all environments, configure CI, and support that build going forward. Save yourself the trouble and just render everything server-side in JS.

You had me until the last part which seems to contradict everything you said beforehand as you now have to test everything being rendered server-side. Why render it server-side if it's already in JS and capable of being rendered on the client? Optimize your bundles if you're chasing lighthouse scores.

I don't do much work in Kate anymore, but in the last 10 years or so it has become my virtual note pad. There is almost always an instance running with a dozen or so unsaved documents open.

Yes, congratulations, you pointed out that you can hang yourself either way. That wasn't my point and I acknowledged as much in the first post.

Depends on the state. In my state, people seem to be very careful drivers, and drivers seem attentive enough to react to unexpected events.

Meanwhile it seems like drivers in California don't even know what a stop sign is.

We have right turn on red here, and if you were to run someone over while doing that, you'd not have many friends left for being such an asshole.

I disagree entirely with the article. Rule number one of driving is "watch where you are going and don't run into anything", which the driver in this case clearly failed to do. The two lanes turning right means that your view of the crosswalk could be obscured, but in that case, it is your responsibility as a driver to only continue moving if you are sure it is safe. I do not give a crap how supposedly "unsafe" the intersection was designed, it is your responsibility as a driver to not drive into people.
I think implementation cost is a smaller worry, the main problem is the introduction of complexity for a relatively minor gain.
GP just pulled a number out of the air. You could have just said it was disproportionate to the actual cost of concrete rather than reacting emotionally. I was surprised to learn concrete is only $130/ton, I thought it would be a lot more.

These are the kinds of situations that make me glad self driving cars still don't work well enough to replace human drivers. Humans can evaluate the entire situation and decide when to break rules, while self driving cars don't understand anything and can only follow rules according to what little it can detect and process. Humans are a lot more concerned with staying alive than following rules, but rules are all self driving cars know and they don't care at all if you burn to death or not.
I would argue that it’s failing and working as designed.

Perhaps a syntax highlighter could learn to insert “first strong isolate” and “pop directional isolate” and to also enforce that content leaves the stack alone?
I 100% agree with this. Have always called it `throw-away development` where you build a prototype just to understanding what it is that you are actually solving/building. Then, once you understand, implement the _actual_ thing you need to, taking the learnings from the throw-away. It takes a _tad_ longer than if you had magically known what to do from the get-go but the learning is invaluable.
Leave it as is, I enjoy feeling like it's 2009 again :)

I believe there is some more recent work on this, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4448664/
"""LACE (light-activated chromophore expansion) in isolated preparations suggests that octopus skin is intrinsically light sensitive and that this dispersed light sense might contribute to their unique and novel patterning abilities.

I think that everyone has a different way they can learn effectively. For example many people find coding videos useful but they never helped me.

I learn the most when I am building something for myself. Remember, the code is just a means to get to the end product.

There are many success stories out there of programmers making cool stuff and getting noticed - but the main thing I think is finding the motivation to push through those road blocks, the times when you spend a week and get just the one line of code...

PS: having kids myself I switched over to coding at night 50% of the time - I do 4-6 hrs in the day and 2-4 hrs after bedtime. Made all the difference in productivity and family life is great.

That's how my sister broke her arm and what got my entire family on the "buckle up every time" train.

Of course -- taxes should be progressive. But this doesn't address "rich people" evading taxes, it addresses transactions from people from all slices of the socioeconomic spectrum, with a cap that is entirely too low and invasive.

For example: if and when your country goes to pot, and you have a moral obligation to get your family out because we have this perceived notion of borders and sovereignty based on history we didn't agree to, a $3k block on transactions may well block you. We don't have to imagine very hard -- the US withdrawal from Afghanistan is a recent prime example. Social order is delicate.

As a more mundane example, perhaps I purchase an item at auction, art or contents of a storage locker. Reporting burden should be on the records of the facility and subject to occasional audit, not on every single transaction that goes through. That'd be like implementing a carbon toll for every mile that I use a bus, walk with shoes, ride a bike, or use any form of motor vehicle. There are much better ways to do that.
My former employer was a lot more YOLO than that. When I joined (in the mid 2000s) there was no https on the website, passwords stored in plain text, no backup strategy, etc. But they printed money with their system.

Some people really do have mast cell issues, but everyone and their dog thinks they have MCAS these days and it's questionable in my opinion. Often a diagnosis will be based on whether any of the MCAS-drugs work (rather than testing which is very problematic for MCAS). But as you see in the linked paper famotidine was effective in mice genetically engineered without mast cells, so at least in that instance it's not a mast cell issue.

The tricky thing with increasing butyrate production is that everyone's gut dysbiosis is different - and therefore, a prebiotic that works for one person may make someone else's condition worse. For example, I have big blooms in my Prevotella Copri population which would consume Inulin and make my butyrate production worse - but in people without a Prevotella Copri overgrowth, Inulin would improve their butyrate production.

I would look into 16S microbiome testing (I use Biomesight) and use that as a guide, as well as slowly trialing interventions and monitoring symptoms. None of this is perfect and you kinda have to be on the bleeding edge of science/alternative medicine to figure things out.

If you're already an expert in some other programming discipline (e.g. another language) I wouldn't expect it to take 10 years to become a Rust expert. I'd expect one or two if you're using it primarily, which is similar to what I'd expect for most other languages.

Same for helmets. It less so it’s purposely designed so people will keep buying them but more so that something has to absorb the impact so the kid doesn’t. Mechanical deformation turns out to be the most effective and safest but deformation is also a one way street hence why you need to change it after an impact. That being said, how often are you getting into accidents?!
while, the article does not make this clear, I assume that, when dealing with an infected rar archive, if you right click, and choose extract, the malicious payload does not get executed.

It seems you only get infected if you double click a malicious rat archive then within WinRAR, double click one of the legitimate PDF or image files.

Either way, it’s a bad scenario - I just would like to know. Tks
I got halfway through hired.com and then deleted my account. It wanted waaaaaaay too much information and wouldn't even show me which employers were available. No thanks. Seems like one of those sketchy automated job sites, except it's highly asymmetric.

In NL the iDeal system and Tikkie have -according to me- less friction than cash, and surely not for any large amount if you are on the receiving side (no need to have any change, money won’t be fake, you won’t have to deposit it, you can request a specific amount or let it open for the other person). Here’s some info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEAL
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropayment#Tikkie

They’re used by people of all age, as far as I can tell; the only time I witnessed a problem with it, was when a ~50 year old man had to pay me 600€ for stuff he bought, and I ended up having to take cash. Worth noting that person who paid me is a house painter, a job with a great potential for being paid cash to evade taxes to begin with…
That is... my point? Antitrust laws are not confined to monopoly concerns. To try and steer the conversation into that direction is a non-sequitur that doesn't necessarily matter. The headline isn't "textbook case of monopoly abuse."
I agree. Imagine a legal system where the laws are hidden from citizens and they are only informed of their guilt without meaningful appeal.

Here's something I've never understood about these: as devices that transmit on FCC-licensed bands, wouldn't each use of these require specific permission from the FCC?
