Because the gravitational centre of HN politics has shifted massively.

Look at the news sites that make it to the front page of hacker news. As of writing there's:

- New York Times

- PBS

- The Guardian

Do you expect the people that upvote these things to be sympathetic to libertarianism?
There are Democrats on board, the bill can pass without them.

Also AFAICT the bill still has a kneecap strategy. If a funding deadline is missed, Congress must focus solely on spending bills. IOW it shuts down Congress, not the entire government. Sounds right to me.
>Why not put tabs/shortcuts on the desktop

You mean why tabs are part of the browser rather the system? Kinda like the suckless way and utilizing tabbed to provide tabs to any app?
This. Ever since I lost the physical keyboard of the blackberry, I have had to accept to live with a significant and constant productivity hit when it comes to writing more than a couple of words on my touchscreen phones with the need to avoid typing errors. I failed to master the act of writing on a cellphone, contrary to typing on a physical keyboard.

I have seen people type blazingly fast on touchscreen phones though, albeit I didn't run error stats on their output. I accept that I may lack some skills needed to become better at this, but seeing others highlighting that this is a problem to them is not surprising to me, based on anecdotal evidence.

E.g., I knew someone who added to his email signature a permanent apology for typing errors giving the justification that he was typing on a touchscreen device.

All in all, I agree that the problem is real, and havging had experience with a working solution (physical keyboard) I wonder why there appears to be no business case today for such devices.
The interesting thing about Yandex is that it isn't even screening political queries (or if it does, it's not effective at it). Search for "bucha massacre" or "резня в буче", and all the top links are to websites that have factual information on it, not Russian agitprop.

It’s not as bad as I expected before trying the project. You can try with SolarWriter (which is easier to set up than this weird thing I did) to get an idea. I consider it “mechanical typewriter” level. For me, good enough.
Well it's not a lawless area; some enterprising people founded a new constitutional Republic there.

>The consequence of this would be that the subsidized food gets exported to a country that doesn't tax it, at which point you're subsidizing some other country's food.

Nice of you to let Americans sacrifice their health on $othercountry's behalf though.
If function is your primary concern, then the only material to choose is the one professional kitchens use: stainless steel. It won't be as good looking depending on your tastes, but it will beat most stones on other properties
> Android and iOS share a common problem: they copied desktop text editing conventions, but without a menu bar or mouse.

Vim is usable, with Hacker's Keyboard (Android keyboard app that gives a full on-screen keyboard) or a Bluetooth keyboard.

The Vim paradigm solves the problem of not having a mouse or menu bars, since it doesn't rely on them.

This is a really great point. I think something like a `.svelte.js` file extension is warranted here. This would key tooling to when it needs to interpret runes, and makes it clear which files in a codebase require the svelte compiler. These files clearly aren't just js/ts at this point, but I think its fine as long as they're marked as such. Custom react hooks, for instance, aren't usable outside of the runtime but can be transpiled without issues by esbuild/tsc and interpreted correctly by a js/ts language server.

As long as it's marked separately from js/ts I don't think its a huge issue though. Svelte files already have script tags that aren't completely vanilla js/ts.
HN is my top 1 website when it comes to kindness. I used to regularly visit places out of habit where cynicism was 100x stronger about everything. I quit that long time ago and life became so much better. I think a small dose of cynicism is beneficial in certain situations, but too much of it and it spreads like a disease. Yes, you can encounter it here but for me it's manageable, maybe because other websites set the bar very low.
> can you detail what the possible issue is?

Why? Are you in a position to help everyone? (As you probably guessed while reading the comment you replied to, I don't really need help; more on that below).

"Occasional" is not universal; as you aren't getting the problem in a here-and-now sense you can probably play around with the "here" part by using Tor Browser to see if you can get to the article via the link in the fine press release from northwestern. Many times Tor (say if one wants to be sure one is not transmitting some credential to the publisher) works fine, sometimes you'll have to start a new Tor circuit (or maybe be more patient than me). Likewise, with uBlockOrigin on medium mode <https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...> sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I waver between wondering if it's caching (seems to be more frequent on "cold" papers hosted at iop.org, during a trawl of a paper's references), sometimes location (in the IP range sense), sometimes defences triggered by "hug-of-death" on a very fresh paper.

When it happens it's usually very easy to find the preprint and start with that, so I haven't been minded to pursue anything like formal process with anyone's IT department.

To be clear, IOP is pretty good by learned society standards, and even the worst of those is much less annoying to use (and less likely to have annoying glitches) than by major for-profit academic publishers, even (sometimes especially) when the paper is open access. For that last set, for cold papers, one is more than tempted to start with sci-hub for the latter's greater reliability and better user interface. And of course, there's also https://unpaywall.org/ which is also tremendously useful.

Ask HN: What Photo Solution do you have?
Over time, I've gathered a collection of photos spread across different devices, such as aging computers and obsolete smartphones. What are the common approaches that individuals use to effectively manage photos originating from various family smartphones, dated computers, and similar origins, all while guaranteeing the security of offsite backups for this diverse assortment of pictures? Additionally, what techniques can be employed to track down photos residing on antiquated Windows systems, outdated network drives, and similar locations? How about backing up to the cloud? Where and How?

I suggest focusing on the minimum viable product: an app with a single text field.

Maybe add the option to load and save txt files, but even clipboard I/O would be sufficient. Just let people play with the editor. If it's actually good, the next steps should become obvious.
People don't know about it because it's not discoverable.

I knew it, but I had to be told, and it's not too intuitive
A lot of the successful indie hacker stories you’ve heard are because they’re active on Twitter. There are thousands of solo dev entrepreneurs that don’t post on Twitter and are very quietly running great little internet businesses.
Correct. This is to solve a different problem associated with Solitaire - keeping our keys in sync.

With Solitaire, if I miss a message that you sent, my decipher deck is now out of sync until we resynchronize somehow.

With bridge columns as the approach, each day the message has a different key that is kept in sync through the bridge columns. Missing a message doesn't result in desync.

Yes, this has low entropy compared to a shuffled deck of cards... and if someone can find out what the system used to generate the key is, it's all decrypted (I'm sure that various Three Letter Agencies are saving every bridge column that's been written).

This solves a problem that two people (or more! because that gets complicated too) may have in using Solitaire. If I were to use Solitaire with this means of key exchange, this would be something that would be low importance and temporal in nature where it doesn't matter if it is decrypted next week.

For example, during WWII Four Square was used ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-square_cipher ) and remains part of basic cryptanalysis in the US Military - https://archive.org/details/Fm3440.2BasicCryptAnalysis - even though stronger cryptography was available. It was usable by in the field to send encoded messages that needed to be sent now (without lengthy encrypt / decrypt processes) for information that had little to no value in the future.

It's $80 per person each way for a ticket from west palm beach station to orlando. That's $160 roundtrip. Even for one person, it can be cheaper to rent a car and pay the gas/turnpike tolls than to buy one roundtrip ticket, and you won't be stranded 20 minutes away from downtown and the tourist attractions over at MCO airport.

Lots of things don’t dissolve in water but are still effectively contained by water. That said, I wonder what happens to the water being used for this purpose. If it isn’t treated/disposed of somehow, I could see it evaporating and allowing the dust to become airborne again. If this is in a permanent shop environment, it might explain the apparent lack of effectiveness of this solution.

> Do you REALLY think if they allow ethnic Croatians to start building permanent settlements on the property in question

Do we know the ethnicity of these settlers? The founder is Czech, and the resources I've found suggest that local Croats and Serbs are a tiny minority of those involved.
Agreed, I would routinely text without looking. I do now too, with SwiftKey, but it's much less deterministic.
The key products of the financial system is not transfer of money (which crypto provides) but rather credit (with the associated issues of trust and enforcement of settlement against someone's will) and payment for goods and services (with the associated need for fraud prevention on both sides of the deal and reversibility of payments). Mathematics cannot provide that kind of trust.
Crazy to think that when Colin Fidge (independently) invented vector clocks in 1988, Australia didn't even have internet.
Having worked for a company that worked directly with the government, these shutdowns are such a frustrating waste of man hours. They’re also demoralizing to people working on projects that are suddenly unfunded. Stopping shutdowns would be a huge step in the right direction.

I got one of their FF400 face shield respirators to do lead paint removal and spent dozens of hours in unconditioned spaces with a tyvek suit. They are extremely well designed and never fog because the inhaled air passes first through the face mask area and then through one-way valves into the mouth/nose section and is exhausted downward at the front of the mouth/nose area.
Brightline is only really HSR under the 1970s pre TGV/Bullet Train definition. Most of the world has moved on to using 250km/h (155mph) as the cut off with many new lines over 300km/h (185mph).
Stories like this remind me that in distributed systems time becomes a very imprecise concept at small scales.
it's not that sort of violence that matters. A bunch of provincial homesteaders with guns don't constitute an army. Any small nation that is going to survive is going to look like Israel or Taiwan, militarized, armed to the teeth, with discipline, cohesion and state capacity.

One of the funniest experiments with this kind of thing I ever read was a small town in the US being overtaken by libertarians, only to succumb to... bears.

What is the cost though? Is rust a concern? And of course, looks are a concern, but I imagine quartz is relatively cheap because many, many people can afford it.
Good luck with that.

The Constitution explicitly says that revenue bills must originate in the House.

There's no way the current House is going to approve anything like this, which these Senators know perfectly well. Probably no House would -- the House and Senate are extremely jealous of their prerogatives, and always have been.

It's basically just posturing for the cameras, the same way that both parties do any time there's a "government shutdown" in play. Nothing truly essential ever gets "shut down", but the politicians get to blather for a TV audience. Then when the "shutdown" is over over, all the government employees who were furloughed wind up getting paid anyway...in effect, having received a bonus paid vacation.

The amazing thing is that the public keeps falling for this financial theatre, time and time again.
Do you have any references about it being enabled by default in Windows 11? I've seen conflicting reports and often seems to vary depending on the system locale whether it gets enabled or disabled by default.
We can quibble over the definition of high speed rail in speed, but what’s important is that light rail enables transportation for people who can’t or prefer not to drive, who can’t afford a car for these trips, and overall takes cars off the road. Faster isn’t always better depending on the distance traveled (time saved going much faster over these shorter routes is going to be marginal vs cross country); sometimes faster than the status quo is fast enough.
As a Croatian, I can't do whatever I want (esp. building) with various bits of land I actually own, why should these people get special treatment?

I'm all for liberalisation of land use, and think Croatian bureaucracy and petty corruption are slowly destroying the Croatian state economically, but people acting independent of the law, because they claim they're special, doesn't wash. The tourist angle is a red herring. Tolerating unlawful occupation isn't smart at all.

My question was more like, will all those four mathematical objects (alongside other stuff like scalars) be represented as a single data type in a given library that implements geometric algebra, or will they be given distinct data types?

Someone else answered that they might be given a single data type, but it's possible to give more precise types, which seem cool!

In one of their articles they claim that the microbiome is stable over 15 years, but this is categorized as "unpublished work" which leaves me with a large sense of doubt. I don't mind research that is in preliminary stages (as in conference abstracts, technical papers, etc), but the fact they are very naïve in how they approach scientific evidence makes me highly doubtful.
Flying can get expensive fairly quickly.

One major source of this is landing fees; at heavily congested airports the price to get a new slot, or buy someone out of an existing one, is quite high because of a lack of space and alternatives. Most of the airports in the Northeast are chronically congested, to the point where I believe DCA and all the New York area airports have caps on flight movements. And there's no 'cheap' airport in the NYC area either, which is a common tactic for Ryanair et al (fly into an airport over 50 miles away for the cheaper landing fees, which means cheaper tickets, but also probably means the passenger is making up the difference getting to their final destination.)
