Some of my favorites:

- Faux columns, to get a visual stretch and make it appear that the sidebar was as long as the content https://alistapart.com/article/fauxcolumns/

- Or take that even further, with a nine-patch and 9 div's or a 3x3 table you could hack your own borders by repeating backgrounds in some axis. With CSS3 we got border-image that could help this a bit. These border styles aren't that much in favor anymore, though.

- To make rounded borders, one could use the nine-patch. But many would also use a generator to make some HTML that basically simulated a rounded border, by making lots of elements. Found this article describing it: http://benogle.com/2009/04/29/css-round-corners.html Conventional wisdom was that the added markup would be more bytes than an image would be, but less roundtrips and quite easy to do.
Getting a roughly correct image vs a blurry mess doesn’t take control away from you and it is just bullshitting on a non-issue.
In Java, HashMap is a widely used data structure that belongs to the Java Collections Framework. It is part of the java.util package and implements the Map interface. HashMap stores key-value pairs, where each key is associated with a corresponding value.

Should be obvious. The intrinsic quality of code has nothing to do with another quality; improvements provided by linting, type annotations, or static analysis. If your linter introduces syntax that breaks under a future environment, or your type annotations are merely 99% correct, or your static analysis gives a false-positive for an untested config, then expect a decrease in net quality.

Well I think one can start with a bit of an average car. I mean humans vary a lot too. Both in size and resilience. If there’d be some wireframe made that can represent a bit of the car rigidity of an average 2008 car for example we can definitely see how this monolith would vaporize any car, versus the Jazz that’d mostly dent itself in a crash. And include that in the rating as well.
Current SUV trends are abysmal for others with their 800bhp and near 3000kg kerb weight. It’s I think a solid way to stop this race to the bottom.
I've been calling the thinking of the parent "trickle-down devonomics": that by making the code better for the user, the benefits will trickle down to the users. Obviously, as the name suggests, that never happens. Devs get the quality of life and users end up paying for our disregard.

I like how HN employs one of these today:

Hahaha :)

On a more serious note, this list highlights how development without standards leads to control information being encoded in various tolerable side-channels.

The potential mess and collision of this brings into relief the disdain that's sometimes levelled at the current W3C process. This process marries a standards-driven evolution of web technologies with browser-driven innovation, with the two alternately either leading the other, or proceeding in lock-step.

While it's often derided, this process could be interpreted as more sustainable and stable than the one which came before.

I wonder how many of those who decry the new W3C-vendor norm would choose to return to the heady days recalled by these 10 weird hacks? :)

That’s only true for a total order; there are many interesting orders that do not have this property.

It holds for the usual ordering on N, Z, Q and R, but it doesn’t hold for more general partially ordered sets.

In general one has to prove that an order is total, and this is frequently non-trivial: Cantor-Schröder-Bernstein can be seen as a proof that the cardinal numbers have a total order.
There is still a large difference between an AI being able to cite it's claims, and having the original training data and exact code and process in which to convert the training data into the weights used in inference.

If you cannot re-create the weights and model used for inference, a release's value is somewhat limited vs releases where the inference model can be re-created. (It's kind of like the limited value of scientific papers where the results cannot be reproduced due to a lack of detail)
Out of curiosity I had a quick look to see if any of the pieces had made the market, one sold with Sothebys for $22.5k. There's a certain novelty to it that's quite appealing to me, but I'm surprised it went for that much as robots painting isn't a new concept.

If you get the speed limit wrong with a sign, you can change the sign. If you get it wrong after throwing built obstacles all over it, we are stuck with it. And you're going to get it wrong sometimes, because neighborhoods and safety technology changes (and because safetyism gives low-speed-limit people too much political influence).
A 2 year old walks far too slow to keep up with older people, and is especially a concern while crossing a road. They also get distracted and do not necessarily follow instructions.

There is a pretty big difference between using a stroller to help get a toddler (less than 5 years old) around and using it to pacify a 5 year old. In my experience, somewhere between 4 and 5 is when I expect them to be able to walk at a sufficient pace and distance to never need strollers.

From my recollection, the basic story is Sun open sourced Solaris in the early 2000's (OpenSolaris). Today's OpenZFS codebase is an incarnation of the code released in OpenSolaris. It has since been ported to Linux and continues on as a separate thing from ZFS. Oracle has since "un-open sourced" Solaris, and is why ZFS and OpenZFS are different things today, although they both share a heritage.
How would the US have had more access to people on the ground in the USSR? More spies in country?

The reason people "fumbled" after the USSR disintegrated wasn't because the collapse came as a surprise but because the split between using functioning liberal (not in the US political meaning) legal systems outside of Russia for protection while internally in Russia profiting from the lack thereof - I don't think anyone had that split really in their minds when thinking about a new structure there - it was a new phenomenon. People saw what was happening but didn't understand it and the average person on the street there didn't either.

Btw., Russia or the USSR made little friends in Europe throughout history, either.

I think bold claims that US cold war posture was wrong need a lot more evidence.
Not sure about Britain and Denmark, but in France, Belgium and the Netherlands there's a difference if the traffic light for cars is an arrow or just a disc.

If it's an arrow, cars have priority and don't have to worry about other traffic getting in their way. It's mostly for left turns (a green left arrow indicates that traffic coming in front has a red light) but it also works for pedestrians, a right arrow means that pedestrians and bicycles have red lights.

If it's a disc, then cars should pay attention to other traffic and observe regular priority rules, so stop for pedestrians and bicycles that likely have a green light at the same time as the cars do.

For pedestrians and bicycles, a green light basically means they always have priority and cars must stop for them wherever they come from.

I appreciate the clarification, but I should also clarify that it's not the use of the word "sheep" which I find offensive or inaccurate. Instead, it's the idea that Ukraine is full of Nazis (which is implied by the constant use of "Banderites"), and the idea that civilians in Ukraine are somehow less safe with a military force to protect them.

The reason why Ukraine still exists today is because Ukrainian soldiers managed to kill so many russian invaders and destroy so much russian armour in the first couple of months of the war. This is largely thanks to Western ordnance.

If you’re being serious about it somehow being wrong to find words funny, then do you have a problem with "absquatulate", "bowyangs", "collywobbles", "fartlek", "filibuster", "gongoozle", "hemidemisemiquaver", and "snollygoster“ [1] too? Presuming you don’t have a problem with words being inherently funny, why is it a surprise that some names happen to also be funny? Have you never found a name funny or amusing? How about when Ali G introduced Buzz Aldrin as Buzz Lightyear? Or when he referred to Boutros Boutros-Ghali as “Boutros Boutros Boutros Boutros-Ghali”. I found that silly and hilarious. How about when Homer refers to his “friend” Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo [2], sorry, but again, it’s silly and hilarious.

One more example: on Family Fued [3] the person whose name was funny found it funny, his family found it funny, and the host/audience found it funny. Do you not laugh or at least see the humour in it?

Last one (promise). This Monty Python sketch [4] has been viewed 30M times on YouTube alone, it’s by the troupe of comedians that the python programming language is named after, and it’s all about people finding other people’s names hilarious.

Regarding “riots” you miss the point. Duke is upset DHH uses the word riot, but Wikipedia also does. So they should be equally upset with Wikipedia.

> No, the solution is for the phone to stop blending multiple distinct exposures into one photo, because that's the crux of the problem - that's the "AI transformation" right there, decorrelating the photo from reality.

Thanks, but I will take a proper picture over a blurry noisy mess.

And please learn a bit about the whole field of measurement theory before you comment bullshit. Taking multiple measurements is literally the most basic way to get better signal to noise ratio. A blurry photo is just as much an alteration of reality, there is no real-world correspondence to my blurred face. Apple just does it more intelligently, but in rare cases messes up. It’s measurement. AI-generated stuff like a fake moon is not done by apple, and is a bad thing I also disapprove of. Smart statistics inside cameras are not at all like that.
Regarding the closing statement: I think, a major, now mostly forgotten influence were CD-ROMs and an ambition to match those.
My first thought, too. All those unsealed tiny gears. One fragment of metal filing in there? Perhaps a cascade failure of teeth chipping and flinging fragments until total breakdown.

Reminds me of the head of a waterpic toothbrush - a packet of tiny gears, the weakest point in the device, constantly wearing out.

That’s only true for linearly ordered structures, but isn’t true for partially ordered ones.

For example, set inclusion. Two different sets can be neither greater than not smaller than each other. Sets ordered by inclusion form a partially ordered lattice.
I'm sorry, it's not intentional. When Ukrainians refer to Europe, they almost always mean the EU. We need some mental shift to consistently include ourselves when talking about Europe.
Some of them are definitely more "historic" than others.

For instance, #2 (<table>-based layouts) definitely shaped much of early-to-mid-2000s web design, and can be viewed as a precursor to flexbox/other modern layout engines.

Same with sIFR -- custom webfonts are totally taken for granted today largely because of "hacks" like this.
Well, I’m not 100% sure what a “side projects ideas board” is so perhaps a brief explanation would help.

I’d also say, who is your audience? If it’s startup CEO types of dev/CTO types then potentially they could use a board with ideas on it to start from. If its end users to get their feedback I doubt any would bother going there… and who would add ideas? What’s their incentive to share their ideas?

I think the best advice if you have an idea is (1) build something that solves a problem you yourself have and (2) despite the fact that “build it and they will come” is wrong, you do need to build some very basic UI if you’re going to talk at all to end users for feedback.
It actually did great. The occupant area was minimally damaged - the front end absorbed the collision as it was designed to do. The driver would have walked away from this collision.

Tesla makes some of the safest vehicles on the road from a driver/occupant perspective, but lately HN loves to hate on Tesla.
Wow. Remember those days. I went through all of these hacks except No. 7 & 8 (pre-header text hack, Google Chrome Frame). I'm not sure about the "Shaped the Internet" title, but these indeed go as defaults when starting a CSS project. In fact, one way to highlight front-end candidates was to include these hacks in interview questions.

In general, that is a quite naive understanding. Today's warfare is primarily executived via electronics, economics, and ideology.

Here is a Russian agent explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/pOmXiapfCs8?si=ntni8_4XUjAkE5CP. Adam Curtis' documentary Hypernormalism also covers this.

By the way, this extends to all social media. Whether it's a state or a state's own people, the danger remains the same.
OK, so no censorship ever? No treason for telling an enemy secrets in war? Where do you draw a line and why?

TikTok Inc. is a US corporation. You can't make a law that limits the speech of just one company, any more than you can make a law that targets a single individual by name in general.

So the restrictions would have to be more generic yet narrow enough that they only hit TikTok in practice. The administration of Florida had this problem recently when they wanted to punish Disney for criticism, but couldn't write that into law. They ended up with a law that includes a set of criteria which combined leave Disney as the only affected party.

In this case, they'd presumably want to come up with criteria that cover TikTok but exclude Meta, Google and X. It's not very easy because the actual products and audiences are very similar. The foreign ownership angle is the one they should be looking at, IMO.

FreeBSD 14.0 review by DJ Ware
I'm just starting to learn about all this stuff, but iirc thr game of Go is famously "hot". Also I will emphasize thats when talking about "games", usually what is meant is a game position. What spe cific game you are playing isn't too important as it can be shown that some positions in different games are equivalent.
Example: alphabetic ordering in most languages with diacritics. For example, "ea" < "éz", but also "éa" < "ez". That's because e and é are treated the same as far as the ordering function is concerned, but they are obviously also NOT the same glyph.
If you go into photoshop and mess around with filters for 5 mins, you will soon see that if you over aggressively apply any filter to a photo it soon starts looking like a cartoon or painting due to the way that image processing groups blocks of colour together for manipulation.
And some of those use cases require special cameras in the first place. Photography is basically just a measurement of light at different positions - there are endless priorities to make. You don’t need stacking multiple photos for scientific measurement of distance, as you would be having proper illumination in the first place.

A smartphone camera works in a vastly different environment, and has to adapt to any kind of illumination, scene etc.
This looks very promising! Thinking of putting it on something.
Ask HN: Is there a known phishing attack via Facebook support inbox?
Hi,

I have a business facebook account and got a message from them to verify the business. The only link in the email was going to facebook.com/support, which I typed into the browser and it really showed a message (supposedly) from the Facebook support team. Basically, asking for company info, most of which can be obtained from public resources online. Here's a screenshot:

https://bigosaur.com/fb/request-company-info.png

Interesting thing is that they never mention my company name, but I only have one company registered with them, so I guess that was it. So, I replied to that since the info is public anyway.

This was about 2 weeks ago. Today, I get a new message claiming that I applied for "Facebook fundraising tools". Of course, I never applied to that, my company isn't even a non-profit, which seems to be a requirement. At first I though someone must have typed in my company name wrong, but there's a peculiar thing: Now they did include the company name, and it's IN THE SAME THREAD as the first message.

The request wants a copy of ID card for "Ana Petrovic". I have no idea who that is. It's a very common name, like Jane Smith in US. Here's a screenshot, note the same item_id:

https://bigosaur.com/fb/request-ana-petrovic.png

This looks like a phishing attack, but I'm trying to figure out how it works. How did they manage to initiate the conversation as if Facebook is contacting me? If I send any info back, does the attacker get it?

What if I reply, "I don't know Ana Petrovic, my name is XXX", will they then ask for my ID documents?

If anyone from Facebook is reading this and needs more info, please feel free to contact me via the email in my HN profile.

"So what’s the difference between changing jobs when you do have a choice and waiting until you don’t have a choice?"

The difference is that if I lost this job I would then have time during the day to look for jobs or study when I would have been working.

I don't really care what will happen. My area is shitty for tech work, my wife won't move, and I'm ill suited to remote work. I'm just coasting now. There's no point in upskilling until I would know what skills the other company would want because there are so many different things they could wanting the tech changes so fast.
I think these sorts of tools are dangerous at least until the hallucination (in text or formatting) rate is below that experienced by a careful reader repeatedly re-reading a document, which is almost but not quite zero and, depending on the application, potentially even until it's actually zero. I guess they're mostly fine for cases where the extact document content isn't important, but it's probably not common to have a lot of documents that nobody anywhere considers or ever will consider important yet which must be more accessible than pdfs.

I'm working with fine tuning the SAM encoder using LoRA at the moment, so thanks for this. The Segment Anything code on its own, I must say though, is perhaps the most readable and easily navigated DL code I've encountered. Or maybe it's just me coming from mostly a TensorFlow background. I remember I struggled understanding even my own networks when viewing them in TensorBoard. The code peek feature of yours is great.
I'm not sure I've ever read an article where so many times I thought "ok fine, but ..." only to have the next paragraph address that exact point each and every time. The ending point especially.

As others here have pedantically pointed out (as HN is wont to do), there are ways to misinterpret or muddle some of the phrasing used here. But I think that's true of any reasonably simple (and therefore broadly useful) mental model. To me, this is a useful way of framing these ideas at a high level.
It can make a RAW file as well, so just the usual clickbait article/comments.
