As it would be based on distrust, you'd have to record everything everywhere to avoid people not evading it.

Even innocently, if, for example, two employees meet at home for dinner with their respective families and there is talk about work - needs to be recorded in that view. Or people car sharing on the way to work - recorded. Any work related communication is very very broad.

And everything recorded open to the public, too.

this is such a joke of a system. half of the web is a system for peer review already. you could basically repurpose any old forum software like Discourse or Reddit, twitter, mastodon to work as peer review. It's just people commenting on a post! With a system for verifying identity (use official email) and assigning reviewers maybe.

Then over here we see a journal publishing this trash that treats their audience as toddlers with amazing tips like

"Follow up: after submission, "

"Professional networks:.."

Mostly I'm just surprised that our smartest people put up with this, when any researcher could ask their CS colleagues to create a replacement over a few weeks. It's a pure social coordination problem, it would only take a few groups of researchers switching to light the fire. It's a preference cascade just waiting for a little nudge.
I think battery life is one area vertical integration really helps. If all the hardware and firmware don't play nice, sleep and other power savings doesn't work right (at least in my experience). You'll have one rogue device preventing the machine from or some hardware missing software daemon power management config.
Once i decided to start learning FastAPI and a bit of React I had 2 projects which at the time seem like a great idea (of course, they turn out to be not that great but I learned a lot form them).

1. https://www.linic.io => A local news paper aggregator and summary for my Home country.

2. https://www.animefindr.net => an Anime recommendation engine.

Although both didn't make much fuzz and probably need a lot more work to be actually useful. I learned a lot about recommendation engines in general, the different steps of the process, how to solve the exploitation vs exploration dilema for each one and how to use the existing tools available for it.
I loved this game as a kid. I played the ega trek version. It really captured my imagination and I have often thought now to extend it by having more active NPCs doing things. Maybe even having science missions. I'm excited to see this again.

Absolutely yes. They had an excuse they thought their customers would swallow, and saw other companies doing it.
Personally addressing someone is not individually isolating content to their tastes.

Personally addressing someone is sculpting and interjecting/communicating with their subjective understanding of that topic.

Inside the MBA ideology, that "long term very expensive" doesn't exist. Lowering costs is good long term, because it grows the market and gives the company more money to invest into competitive advantage and grow its brand.

You haven't made any arguments to address, just taken each dictatorial aspect, agreed it's real and then proclaimed it to actually be democracy.

You can't vote for anyone who has actual power: not a problem, that's democracy. The people you try to indirectly appoint to the Commission are rejected on ideological grounds: not a problem, that's democracy. The people who end up with power literally take an oath to ignore your vote: not a problem, that's democracy.

As for what is authoritarian? This whole thread is literally about the EU establishing a China style censorship regime.

You aren't engaging with the substance of the objections, just playing silly word games in an attempt to deny what you're supporting. You want a unitary superpower because it makes you feel strong, you feel you're "meant" to have power and feel the EU is staffed by people just like yourself. You will continue to throw dust around to try and obscure what this system really is until the day it turns on you, by which time, my friend, it will be far too late.

Could they not just get back the same laptop they already have? Most definitely.

Whenever there's a story shared on HN that implies a negative sentiment towards an Apple policy, people come out of the woodwork talking about how we can work around the policy or why Apple has to do it the way everyone hates.

Yeah I’ve been meaning to update and fix my original post: low blood sugar, being grumpy makes for a shit take.

I don’t fault the author for having issues with the laptop. Framework, like you said, could have done a better job with the Linux support or at least had a page about workarounds or what works and what doesn’t.

These are big companies, and we have reached a post-capitalist economic stage where consumer demand is less important, and the big companies can just illegally collude and sell you what they want to sell you at the price they want.

They know this well and the discussions going on at these companies are assuredly not about what gamers want, they are about "Can we convince EA to do titles on our streaming platform" and so on. You will own nothing and be happy.

So one of the major things holding me of buying a framework is the screen. There have been sounds in the community asking for an upgraded screen option (500+ nits/HDR, 120hz, higher res etc) for years. Is this just something you guy aren't interested in at all? Or is it too hard sourcing panels, or even sourcing panels that fit the framework case?
By the way, what is that "two finger swipe back and forth in a web browser" that you are missing from a Mac? I use the keyboard a lot and the touchpad only to move the pointer and scroll, so I'm pretty ignorant about the matter.

All of this, with the addition that you should have the option of panning in both dimensions from a single toolbar widget if the document supports it. I've seen that implemented but never with the arrow buttons together rather than at opposite ends.

> - Wide, clearly visible and easy to hit.

Way back in the day, there used to be a field of study called Human Computer Interaction, where people would learn about things like Fitt's Law, and the fact that the edges of the screen were particularly valuable because they effectively had infinite size.

I am on OS X. For my sins, I have MS Teams open. It is hard aligned to the right of the screen. On the right edge of the window is a scroll bar. I shove my mouse to the right, I click to grab the scrollbar (which has conveniently expanded on mouse-over, and now extends to the edge pixels), and... the entire window gets dragged.

I don't know how we have ended up here. There was a period when people were actively researching what made good user interfaces, and it was feeding in to end user experiences, and it showed.
I have come to suspect such algorithmic pricing “coordination” may be facilitated at the consumer level by sharing of web search results. Recently I was shopping for a circular saw. Eventually to decided on the saw I wanted, and was looking around at pricing. At first, one retailer had the best price, which was $169, $30 off MSRP of $199. Then after searching some more, I noticed another retailer had it for $149, but that was for delivery, and I needed it for a job quickly, so I settled on the first retailer. When I went to the store to buy it, the price ended up being $149.

In this case, this apparent “coordination” worked out in my favor, but the same mechanism could easily be used to raise prices. Either way, if such a mechanism exists, it is troubling.
Smart people explain things with big mental steps they deem obvious (true or not), and less smart people disagree with these steps but are unable to point the finger on them.

I think you're being quite dismissive about what really was incredibly innovative and groundbreaking technology at the time. I went to an Apple Expo in London around the time Kai's Power Goo was released and the show floor around the MetaCreations stand was one of the busiest parts of the whole show. I'm talking about large crowds of people watching live demos of someone using Kai's Power Goo with dropped jaws. It's hard to explain how amazed we were about this software at the time.

His UIs were what got me really into software as a child. Bryce and Power Goo were absolutely life-changing to me. There was NO other software out there which was so accessible and so powerful, especially to a child.

If you asked someone to make you a realistic looking 3D rendered image of an alien landscape or even just a regular earth-like landscape in 94/95, it would have been a hugely complex task requiring special skills and expensive, inaccessible software. I was around 12 at this time and I remember amazing my dad with my Bryce creations. A few years later I remember warezing Maya and having no idea how to do anything, I could barely make a single textured sphere in that program, it was so complex to use and the UI was not friendly to look at.

My point being that the UI may look "cute" but it was friendly and accessible and it got people being creative, unlike other 3D tools at the time which were intimidating, complex, and incredibly hard to learn. I still don't believe there is a better tool out there for making 3D landscape art than Bryce, if there is, I'd love to hear about it. I suppose young people these days will just ask Stable Diffusion "make me a cool alien landscape"
Imho scroolbars are unneeded on computers with properly made keyboards. People are desperate to use scrollbars only when the PgUp, PgDown, Home and End keys are not quick to reach.

This is the real battle to fight for. Vote with your money and stop buying computers with stupid keyboards.
Adding to this FOIA doesn't guarantee useful answers. Having gone through the process whilst in the military I found a few loopholes. They can give a bloated answer with boxes and boxes of useless mostly unrelated information. They did this to me. They can also decline to answer and just say it's classified. They can also just decline to answer through stalling tactics. It served my purpose and that was to stall them from collecting DNA.

I use "dark" mode in Windows 11, but it turns the title bar a nice blue shade since I actually went and configured it (it's right next to the mode setting). I actually can't configure the color in "light" mode where it's always white if I recall, though.

The other criticisms are valid though, the last good Explorer UI was Windows 7.
Yeah Apple should have realised something was wrong when blizzard went out with Overwatch and no mac version in sight because the numbers of macs that could run it decently well was so small even though it's not that demanding of a game.

Since then Apple has only made more excuse and even raised the price of their weak-ass proprietary hardware. They made their bed they deserve no efforts from anyone ; not developers not users. If they come out with competent hardware at a decent price then we will see...
If we are talking UI we need to talk about Apple.

The first thin I do on MacOS is turn on the scroll bars. Yes, MacOS Has them set as "Only Show When Scrolling" by default, which is probably the most ridiculous setting.

Man, the business press really screwed people over then. If they’d just have kept their traps shut, that inflation wave could have been avoided./s

My view is: A. Injecting as much money into the economy as we did was bound to reduce the value of an individual dollar. B. Sellers would naturally demand more of those less valuable dollars for their goods and services. C. The press then reports on the first signs of that wave landing. D. The rest of the wave then lands.

Starting at step C, it looks like the reporting caused inflation. I think that’s a “wet streets cause rain” analysis of the situation.

It’s quite possible that the injection was the least bad thing given the real and perceived constraints of the day. But the inevitable consequence was the devaluing of the dollar.

Show HN: Kusho – VS Code extension for generating API tests
Hello HN! Kusho is a VS Code extension for API testing which generates exhaustive tests for scenarios that can occur in production and executes them within your IDE.

We posted about our previous version a few weeks back and made some improvements to make the generated tests more relevant.

Please give it a try and let us know what you think!

Roadmap for upcoming releases:

- Ability to extend test suite using prompts

- Automatic categorization of tests as passed/failed based on response

- One-click code fix for failed tests

- Integration with CI/CD platforms

I have to assume the natural question is then "which end?" If you put them at the top and the left of vertical and horizontal bars, they're inconveniently far apart when you want to pan different dimensions. If you put them bottom and right, it's very easy to move the window so they're off the screen entirely. But then that's a problem you have with split controls anyway. It feels like there is no good choice here, and split is on average least bad.
Honestly out-of-date documentation is most often better than no documentation at all
> people who do know what they're doing.

What they're doing isn't working. Even they would tell you there's a results crisis. Children aren't learning. They certainly aren't becoming well-prepared for adult life in an efficient manner. They're barely even being supervised and kept out of trouble. The school-to-prison pipeline is getting worse, not better.

These people may "know what they're doing," but they also know what they're doing isn't accomplishing the goals they have for it.

Knowing how to do something that isn't working isn't a benefit, and is certainly not a reason to give them money.

I've worked in that space, you are most likely underestimating the importance of FlexPort as a bellweather for whether (heh) or not FlexPort is able to materially change the freight forwarding business which has been solidly stuck in the past. A very small outfit that you've likely never heard of made massive changes possible in container shipping in the 80's and 90's, but that whole world is held together with duct tape and baling wire when it comes to IT. So FlexPort is an interesting company to monitor, it will either cause a revolution or it will go under. Obviously some investors (not the ones known for being cautious) thought it was a good bet. Some see this as a negative signal (myself included) some think it will go the other way. Regardless, their name is in play, whatever their actual effect on the whole logistics world is in terms of volume, what matter is how they deal with the parties that have signed on and whether or not it gives them a competitive edge.

They've been in business now for a decade, have multiple billions in turnover. True, on the whole that isn't 'significant' yet but it is a pretty strong indicator that there is something going on there that bears watching.

The idea isn't "put no effort into keeping documentation up to date." It's to acknowledge that, in the real world, documentation does go out of date despite the best efforts of project maintainers. Sticking our fingers in our ears and saying "just keep it up to date then" is simply not a real position.

Despite a huge volume of tooling and methodology around reducing bugs, bugs still exist. This is a reality. One with associated costs and mitigations that we acknowledge. Likewise, the article is suggesting we acknowledge the reality that documentation does go out of date, even when effort is being put into maintaining it. That's why the point immediately preceding "It gets outdated" is "It requires maintenance" ;)
