Yeah the blockers are awesome. Also having a few greasemonkey scripts to automate login on a few pages that require too many clicks.
Mhm. Here in Germany plumber, electrician, etc. are all “protected” jobs. You can’t call yourself a plumber or electrician if you haven’t learned the proper trade. I’d argue it’s good for safety, standards and liability.

Now when it comes to stuff like building a kitchen, you could go with proper carpenters or furniture folks or a handyman. It’s good to have those different categories and know what you would be getting.

What are some existing examples of good hardware design that has good UX for disabled people?
I think the persistent issue is the identifying US/non-US partipants and the co-mingling of US/non-US participants within exchanges, and the need to understand context to make sense of it. This seems inescapably fraught. And further complicated by their desire to still pursue Americans for inadvertently discovered crimes, resorting to parallel construction to avoid revealing questionably obtained evidence.
If I squint hard enough, jpeg starts to look like a very esoteric spin on svg, a quilt of tiny svg-like tiles whose parameters are defined by an encoder analyzing a bitmap rather than a human visualizing a concept.
The partition plan wouldn’t have expelled anyone from their homes. Most of the land that became Israel belonged to the Ottoman Empire itself. Part of it was purchased by Jews over decades. Arabs weren’t to be expelled from the remainder, they would just become part of the new Jewish state. And, of course, it never would’ve affected Arabs in Syria, Jordan, etc.
Looks nice but in my experience, developing apps only for Linux is not cost-effective.

I would choose WxWidgets or Qt and add some extension points where needed via interfaces to keep the codebase portable.

Sticking to just native APIs is just locking yourself down into Linux.
That's a local issue for sure. Not sure how, might be Firefox's fault in some way. But it's not just a combination of Firefox and Ubuntu. (I use Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04 and it's a couple seconds, maybe.)
The is quite a large difference in the way different groups think about this subject as is shown in the YouGov survey:

10% of Democrats vs 6% of Republicans
13% of Blacks vs 5% of Whites
14% of city residents vs 3% of rural people
20% of age 30- vs 0% of age 65+
10% of men vs 4% of women
7% of Biden voters vs 4% of Trump voters

Interestingly enough there is hardly any discrepancy between liberals (7%) and conservatives (6%) even though there is a marked difference between registered Democrats (10%) and Republicans (6%). Income also does not make a difference .

Congrats Mozilla! You made improvements to a product you allow dwindle to 2-3% market share.

Forest and trees… who cares that you made it faster if continually less and less people use it. The extreme majority do not care about tiny improvements to speed.

If they were interested in growing market, they would be integrating ublockOrigin and other anti-ad software. They literally have nothing to lose anymore.
Java is great for making huge well-organized codebases with a lot of developers, especially if you've got good tooling support or a rich ecosystem of existing code to work with. Outside of that... If it was a good development ecosystem for native gui-based apps targeted at end users, why wouldn't the preponderance of native user-facing apps be written in Java, anyway? Ask nearly any experienced mobile app developer if they're more productive in Java on Android or Swift on iOS-- it's not even close. Sure, some of that is the OS itself, but a whole lot of it isn't. On the desktop, the one time I tried to make something with Swing I wanted to Fling my computer out the window. Clunky.
> Whenever you see library functions, bottom-up design is happening.

I'm glad he acknowledged that library functions is the majority implementation of "bottom up design". In that case extracting primitive api functions & layers composed of these functions is effective at reusing logic & creating appropriate levels of abstraction.

That being said, many frameworks do not offer these layers of abstraction so create a sort of "complexity lock in"...where one has to use the entire framework in order to use a few useful parts of the framework. I find this complexity lock in to be unfortunate as it not only couples the programmer to the entire framework, even if the majority of the framework is not useful. It also creates noise in the conversation, making it more difficult to search for the appropriate solutions at the appropriate level of abstraction.

There is a cost to integrating other libraries into the framework.

Frameworks also tend to become an institution in search of increasing market share. This means there are changes done to the framework. Some of these changes are breaking changes that don't necessarily improve the core development experience in meaningful ways.

I'm not sure. We pay a yearly rate, and it's significantly cheaper than it would be to pay per hour.

In any case, we already pay for the aftercare regardless of whether we're commuting to work that day or not; that's a cost that's already budgeted for.

> No more fears of developing carpal tunnel for me.

Unfortunately, I developed major RSI in my right hand from playing Horizon Forbidden West, to the point that I had to stop playing console games for several months. And I don’t typically have that problem on any other console, including previous PS consoles.

There’s something about the shape of the controller in combination with the controls for that game, which requires frequent usage of both R triggers, sometimes in combination with other buttons. Also could be related to the force feedback of the triggers that’s new on PS5 (though it doesn’t seem frequent/strong enough to matter).

I never had this same problem with Horizon Zero Dawn on the PS4, even though the controls are mostly the same.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish Forbidden West.
I'm an engineer and I find some of his stuff useful, particularly when it comes to thinking through how to think about how to use large p, small n data.

But I also don't have a strong reactionary anger to Deleuze's penchant for writing in an obscurant quasi-post-modern literary style, and I get that many do. In any case, it's not like similar ideas are not also worked through in less cryptic ways in contemporary philosophy of science journals.
Looking for elegant code bases written in Golang

It’s also possible that the conscious experience of the effect is part of what makes it work. I’m not sure how you would test that out.
Pretty much this. Abridged for my little knowledge: I can easily set up my favorite temperature, and I can be sure that it's constant no matter how big the part I'm soldering. As a bonus, the soldering iron cools down when I'm not using it, making accidental touches less painful. Another bonus: there's a "boost" button for very stubborn solder joints.
I don't think it's just about superiority or safety in the event of a crash. I almost always buy Coupes for my personal vehicles, but was hired to drive an F150 pickup truck to transport materials throughout the city. It had two advantages. One was being able to see what's behind me and estimate with high accuracy the distance from me things were, but that's less relevant. The other major advantage was that my head was higher than almost everyone else on the road, allowing me a much better 360 view of what's around me. However, I was also obstructing the view of every other driver, which is why only a complete douchebag gets one for a personal vehicle.
Using Firefox on Fedora 39. It takes 1-2 seconds to start with lots of tabs reopening. I have had issues with videos not playing from time to time but other than that, I am really liking it (coming from MacOS and Chrome).
Darned if I'm going to say Postel's wrong, but it feels like long-term pain to me. If you accept invalid input and process it, then you're saying that it's de-facto good input. Other systems come to depend on those undocumented extensions, and now you're stuck supporting it forever. I can imagine a million ways that could lead to security problems. Even if that weren't an issue, it's definitely a maintenance problem.

For example, suppose you specify that a web service accepts JSON. It also accepts things like `{foo:"bar"}` as identical to `{"foo":"bar"}`, because hey, it's clear what the client meant. Guess what: now you can never switch to using an off-the-shelf JSON parser. You were trying to be nice to the client, but screwed yourself up in the process. Don't do that.
It's a fascinating phenomenon, the "People's billionaire" thing. Reminds of the movie "Don't look up" where they phrase it as "The working class, the cool rich and them".

This article has a very narrow view of the Cybertruck phenomenon, as seen through a prism of lefty emotionalism. It is more a view of the general sociological scene of the early 21st century United States, than about its motor vehicle component. The author wanted to be a cultural critic, but is writing for Road and Track as a fallback. In addition, she left rural Idaho and moved to Seattle, which is telling.

It’s all one department at Rose (my alma mater). The school is a teaching school (meaning research isn’t the faculty’s primary focus)
> At some point, I realized that I wasn't using the right arguments either. Explaining that the software will be 'more stable' or 'make maintenance much easier' is not palpable for someone who doesn't work in the codebase themselves. We need to speak about money. As developers, we need to speak about the cost of not doing QA. This is the language of business and managers in general.

How cartoonishly incompetent have we allowed managers to get that they can't connect stability to money on their own? If the stability concerned a bridge, would engineers also be expected to translate a potential collapse into monetary terms to get their manager to approve a higher grade of steel cable?
Maybe they could earn money by fine tuning and ensuring it works perfectly for commercial customers.

The open model is the base. But if you want to use it as a customer service bot, you need it to be safe and stop hallucinating.
Speaking of closures, remember how HN used to run out of RAM because each page refresh would create new ones? That doesn't happen here, because no new closure is created if both the lexical environment and the compiled code are identical. The number of fns are displayed at the bottom when you're logged in as an admin, so you can verify nothing new is created when you refresh.

Dan has a good writeup about why HN got rid of them, but unfortunately I can't seem to find it. There are still reasons to avoid them (e.g. if you need a stable url), but I'm happy that performance is no longer one of them.
Yeah, though perhaps it is the trip itself that causes the antidepressive effect, so if you prevent the trip via sleep, the effect goes away.

I know almost nothing about philosophy and exactly nothing about Deleuze.

Let me make this more explicit, since you clearly didn't get the hint. It's not gendered, you are making it gendered.
My mom got me a pair of AfterShokz (the former name of this brand) years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m on my third pair now, and I’m pretty brutal on them. I wear them every day for long periods, and I really enjoy having headphones that don’t make me feel cut off from everyone around me, but still let me listen to podcasts that might not be kid-appropriate while I’m doing work around the house. They’ve dramatically improved for listening to music over the years, but I swap them out with dedicated IEMs for that most of the time. I also have a pair of over-ear headphones at my desk when I really need to tune out distractions.
There is an honor system, you can pay for the fruit or steal it.

On youtube or spotify, you are paying in either subscriptions or watching ads to access the content, of which a % goes to the creators. That's the deal the hosts provide in exchange for hosting content & making other content easily discoverable, etc. That's what's violated by adblockers. It is taking something without paying, which is theft.

I am not making a moral judgement on those who use adblockers. But I am tired of the semantic games and pedantry that people pull out to justify theft. Just acknowledge that it's theft and move on!

> For example, Nature is so kind as to accept final submissions in latex, but they'll convert it to Word. So it's completely pointless.

There is large gulf between submitting a paper (typically limited to a few journal pages) to a well-equipped organization like Springer Nature, and submitting a manuscript hundreds of even thousands of pages in length to a university dissertation office, when that document must adhere scrupulously to various formatting requirements in terms of tables, figures, pagination, citation, appendices, cross-referencing, etc. Word is fine for memos, briefs, letters, and other fairly short documents. But its capabilities for creating complex documents that must include cross-referencing, strict placement of tables, figures, and other floats, citations, referencing, etc. frankly suck. Students can't afford expensive typesetting software: TeX and friends are high quality, stable, have a large and knowledgeable user community, and most importantly, are free. You can bet that publishing houses aren't using Word and PowerPoint to produce anything beyond email. They accept Word documents because of Microsoft's market dominance, which is unrelated to the quality of software they publish.

Techcrunch is an absolute abomination of a website. For those using uBlock and/or uMatrix, have a look at the list of third-party domains the site uses.

No less than 18(!) of them:

* ads-twitter.com

* bizzabo.com

* dscg1.akamai.net

* facebook.net

* google-analytics.com

* googlesyndication.com

* googletagmanager.com

* mrf.io

* oath.com

* sail-horizon.com

* twitter.com

* twitter.map.fastly.net

* typekit.net

* vidible.tv

* wp.com

* yahoo.com

* yahoodns.net

* yimg.com

There's also two (!) layers of cookie consent redirects and the page simply will not load without JavaScript.

Even with first-party scripts enabled the main article doesn't load and at this point I don't give enough of a shit to work out why.

@dang should consider banning Techcrunch URLs from Hacker News IMHO.
Don't worry! They'll continue to change the GUI for no reason each release, continue to remove features, customizability, and more as well.

Then add on stupid things, so all their users, each release, have to fight to turn off dumbassery, and restore functionality.

They've literally done everything they could to destroy market share.
I mean yeah, let's assume Russia believed really hard in globalism. The problem is if that's the case, Russia suddenly has many many more problems.

They justified the invasion by claiming it will better the security situation of Russia. Now that the invasion has started, is the security situation of Russia any better?

Ok, maybe the invasion didn't improve the security situation, but it would have if the West didn't meddle. They seem to have forgotten however, that the West has always been meddling in Ukraine, they literally had troops there previously. And also since Ukraine was US-aligned, wouldn't it make sense that the US would help them?

But let's even assume the invasion went 100% to plan and Ukraine got completely annexed! Would the security situation of Russia be improved? NO, it would not!

- Literally everybody in Europe would suddenly hate Russia

- Neutral countries would no longer be neutral to Russia (as demonstrated recently)

- The region is destabilized. No one was previously thinking of starting wars in Europe, now war is top of mind.

- What does the "land buffer" even get them? No one would dare perform a ground invasion of Russia cause they have nukes!

- If the nukes were gone, the "land buffer" would be inconsequential to the US army. The Russians somehow don't have air superiority even when Ukraine doesn't have an air force. They would be bombed out of key positions immediately with air and artillery power should the west invade.

The "neutral buffer state" is a pipe-dream. One that is not actually a terrible idea (it's not a good idea mind you), but entirely unachievable.
In my experience, this only happens when I type in a new address in a tab that is already open with a different website.

There's a lot of complaints that there isn't much in the way of tooling to create cross-OS compatible apps but I disagree. Just looking at solutions which aren't Electron:

- Telegram uses Qt and ships a performant native app across all three OSes

- Flutter compiles down to native code across all three (and mobile)

- Kirigami is a QtQuick framework that will give you an executable app across all mobile and desktop targets
