This looks like a very good project. I am setting up for a new project and I was planning on using ShadcnUI for it, but after reading this blog post I'm interested in trying Daisy. I like the way it's structured for customizability. Does anyone have any thoughts on using this vs Shadcn?
I get why Chrome has to prioritize the things it does, but this kind of reasoning feels so backwards to me.

I'm sorry that blocking cross-site tracking makes it harder for ad companies to make money, but that's just not my concern. My browser is supposed to act in _my_ interests. It's the _user_ agent, after all. I'm not going to give any sympathy to the company that built the internet into the ad-supported hellscape that it is when they now use their browser monopoly to try to protect their business model.
An absolute gem of a movie. Didn't see it until I had kids and it was one of the few movies that I didn't get tired of rewatching again and again with them.
Well, you have insurance, facilities, logistics. Local area matters a lot. For each family there should be some point, a little below the lower earners salary probably, where they'd rather just stay home themselves than pay for care. That will vary by income but I imagine the average price is a little below average woman earnings (usually but not always the lower earner still I think). That is basically what you can charge unless there is enough competition to bring the price down a lot. It doesnt sound like there is based on the prices people are claiming?
Even a relatively non-technical user could do so.

Last instructions I saw and tested said "install Monterey with no internet connection, open terminal, sudo nano /etc/hosts, add these three entries, save, close, upgrade to Sonoma".

That fully disabled MDM/DEP on an M2 MBP. Not sure if it would periodically ping after install/upgrade, but is about as clean as it gets, and for now survives OS upgrades.
Not to get too philosophical, but the entire concept of ownership per se is always a social contract that's being renegotiated continuously by society. Almost every country in the world has limits on the things you can own, to give just one example.

I do see the value of having autonomy over the devices I conduct my digital life on (whether owned or rented, for that matter!), but I'm not sure if the concept of physical ownership is the right model here.

How my personal data is being processed in other people's and the government's systems is just as relevant to me, and conversely, I'm fine with some opaque blobs of other people running on my hardware, as long as they're properly sandboxed (i.e. can't phone home freely or access any of my data that's none of their business), and I see the mutual benefit in them.
Part of the narrative from both Google and Apple is that "on-device" is better aligned with preserving user privacy. That's true, and it also has performance rationale when network latency makes online/cloud-inference non-viable for some use cases. Google and Apple have been promoting on-device inference/hardware accelerated AI/ML processing for several years, and with Google this goes back as early as Pixel 2.

However, a big factor motivating these companies to promote "on-device" inference is the operating cost.

While the compute and data requirements for training many models exceed the resources of almost everyone but these titans, it is still expected that when these models will be used for inference, and the total costs of inference over time, will far exceed the cost of training.
You wouldn't need to use computer vision on a picture of the PDF. arXiv has the tex source for most of the papers. An LLM trained on code could do a pretty good job of translating tex to readable html with a bit of effort.
Yup LaTeX math doesn't make sense. I've been trying to hack my way into getting a voice model to read it but no real progress.
Tipping is currently a bit out of hand. Tip jars are everywhere. Fast food registers, convenience store counters, pretty much anywhere cash changes hands.

There’s also card readers for the pool guy, the water treatment guy, etc. All have the uncomfortable tip step before the signature. Suddenly everyone is an unabashed panhandler.

A reversal was inevitable, particularly with steep inflation.
Honestly, Musk’s innovation with Tesla has nothing to do with the damn cars. He made sure they build a supercharging network to answer the main complaint. That worked.

It’s more about utilities taking on the difficult work of making electricity greener (I recently learned California burns a substantial amount of natural gas for electricity production! But at least they are able to continually pick up the solar percentage in the daytime) and homeowners taking on the work of making their own consumption cleaner.

Also it’s a natural security measure to try to reduce reliance on fuels that we may need to import one day.
The "great cousin decline"? Hell, an inceasing number of people don't even care much for their parents, not to mention, according to polls, not even having a spouse or kids themselves later in life, or even a romantic partner. It's a general "connecting to another human being" decline.
> Maybe we’ll actually have a good experience with RCS, but we will see…

I'll believe it when I see it. Judging from Apple's past behaviour, I wouldn't be surprised if RCS messages will be shown in Comic Sans or something.
Because this story is about Apple ?

What is good about whataboutism again ?
There’s an easier way that I almost got for my home. A hybrid system, gas powered heat when a heat pump can’t keep up (under around 25F), otherwise it’s all regular heat pump.
Polish DRMed trains stop as predicted due to date-based logic-bomb
Yes, and that tunnel has massive ventilation systems, not just for emergencies like fires too. Fun trivia: the tunnel is so deep that without ventilation the temperature in it would be 40 centigrade.
yaml, all the xml mistakes for the new generations!

can't wait for yamxslt.
I've fallen into this trap so many times... Last time I decided to do the absolute minimum. I just glued together some Markdown library with Jinja for a total of ~50 lines of Python. Turns out you can do a lot with just that.
Probably when the stock market became more prominent. Henry Ford wanted to pay his workers a decent wage, enough for them to afford his vehicle, but GM sued and now we have maximize profits having more say than other aspects of business.

Plenty of 18 year olds do amazingly responsible things with positive impacts on society.

I recall being quite cognizant of adult thoughts & adult responsibility at age 14.

At age 20 I created something with friends that has led to multiple tens of millions of research funding for college students.

Many highly intelligent high school students compete in science & engineering competitions beyond levels of college & graduate level students.
A terrible website. Vibrant white letters peeking out from the disorganized backdrop.
Anecdotal, but I use it daily in company setting (as does many people in my company) and 90% time when contacting government in personal matters. Honestly it's pretty awesome.
Reminds me of how HN received the original proposal: with as much discussion about the thing that it was supposed to replace as the supposed novel tech

Probably deserves as much recognition as the original Dropbox thread, but for different reasons.
Yep. But API calls traverse the network, and assuming that's via JSON, you're already losing functionality like Date parsing, so the litmus test of JSON.stringify/parse seems appropriate to determine if you're dealing with a true "data object." If you run into issues with things like Dates, then it's a smell indicating a potential point of divergence in different codepaths that handle the network call differently.
The question is how different is the set of unexpected things humans do from the set of unexpected things waymo/autopilots do/will do.

Also sometimes I can intuit that the driver in front of me is probably going to do something dumb because of other minor things I've observed about their driving style.
The people who died would have mostly been retired or lower productivity. Shouldnt impact labor costs much. Age pyramid definitely would though.
Pretty sure every device manufacturer wants this too. Cloud services for AI are expensive and are realistically loss leaders to sell devices.
Depending on the state, that case might not be seen as the "Les Cousins Dangereux" but just as a regular rom-com.
Unfortunately, there isn't yet a corresponding human right to not being blocked for using an adblocker.
On the one hand, you’d think the copy would just have a prototype that points to the same as the original’s prototype, and that would make this all work out. I’m surprised that’s not what happens since in 99% of cases it would be fine.

On the other hand, when you consider #privateMembers, you realize cloning a class in JS is basically impossible (and adding them to the language was probably a horrible mistake).
Thanks! It actually appears it requires a lot LESS energy then I expected. According to [1] less then a tonne of TNT could accelerate 1 million tonnes to 0.1 m/s !! So it appears I was WAY off base (by at least 10^6 :-P). I swear I'm a better programmer then physicist!! :-D

I suspect it also varies between drugs in the same person. I've been using temazepam (as prescribed) for years, and if I don't take it for a while, it's not a huge issue - I don't crave it, and I don't have any withdrawal symptoms. Similarly with opioids - I was using them for months due to chronic pain (codeine or tramadol, again as prescribed), and when I was advised to try stopping them in case they were contributing to some other symptoms, I just stopped that day without any issue (even though the consultant said it might be "worse than quitting heroin").

On the other hand, I tried _one_ cigarette at university, and spend the next day or so with a near constant thought in the back of my head - "I should get some more cigarettes".
Call Apple's bullshit and prove that there is technically no reason why iMessage can't work on Android. The only reason it doesn't work is because Apple doesn't want it to, not that it's technically impossible or has security concerns.

Considering the media coverage and that there are now bipartisan calls for an antitrust investigation I think they've succeeded very well.
We just need someone to figure out how to make fentanyl out of phenylephrine
Why do you feel entitled to send a bill to someone who only gave you what you asked them to give you?
Thank you - as sibling also mentioned, what you're describing in isn't a magic link but a standard TOTP/HOTP delivered via email which absolutely is phishable in the manner you described.

Magic link is a process where you enter your email address and the service sends you an email that contains a clickable hyperlink that contains a cryptographically strong, short-lived nonce in the URI that is used as a proof-of-possession factor (the email account) to authenticate users.
I mean, that sounds very holistic in theory, but in practice just doesn't work out.

A few days ago I suddenly had my french press for coffee suddenly shatter and almost blast hot coffee over my upper body.

How am I supposed to start that call with "Hi, I'm jorvi and I made a mistake"..?

It's not like that is a unique situation either. And you can guarantee that if you tell customer service "I made a mistake", and it is clear they delivered a broken service / product (but often want to duck responsibilities), there is no way in hell they will not take the freebie you just gave them by admitting fault.
I would love to know if they've found a way to monitor the clipboard without cgo so I can make a side project of mine easier to cross compile.
Yeah, agreed. And in that case you should treat the "data object" as opaque, in which case it should be sufficient to pass it by reference. Hence, if you're reaching for deepClone, it's a code smell - why can't you pass the reference? Are you mutating the data object somewhere that you shouldn't be?
Perhaps we should apply a bit more of a critical standard to Elon's various statements: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/
Anyone with more complex cases like Wine can work with Wayland directly. Wayland protocols are pretty stable. If they care to support X too they'd need two paths.

But something like freerdp for example managed to do it with SDL well enough.

SDL of all projects actually did think about translating older ABIs to avoid breaking changes. I.e. there is SDL 1 over SDL 2 helper. It would be nice to see more of such efforts on Linux.
The most common reason I've had to do it is to log objects to the console.

Chrome dev tools logs a pointer to the object, so if the object is mutated after logging, but before you view/expand it (especially for nested structures), it can be very confusing! JSON.parse(JSON.stringify()) usually is good enough for this :)

But yes, generally speaking I think a deep clone is a sign of a smell elsewhere. That doesn't mean it never has a place in any code, but just that if I find myself reaching for it, I usually see if there's a mistake being made elsewhere.
Ok.. This feels needlessly confrontational?

Sure, yes, according to me. That was implied when I posted my opinion on here, a discussion forum where we share opinions.

My opinion is that the ad-supported model itself, which doesn't rely on having paying readers/users, but rather on attracting said users to then be paid for showing them ads or collecting their data, has perhaps unintentionally created too low of a bar for entry (in hindsight) and as a result, the fierce competition for profit has led to user-hostile incentives in order to stay alive in such a crowded landscape.

I think the low barrier to entry for putting up websites or creating content online are a net positive, for the record. I love that anyone can just put their content online and compete for an audience on merit (more or less), rather than needing some large monetary investment up front.

But I also think the ad-supported monetize-the-shit-out-of-users model is a bad thing, and benefits from the same low barrier to entry.

But you take the good with the bad I suppose.
For the last 20+ years, I've lived in states where you had to show ID at the pharmacy counter to get your hands on the real thing. So I made it my (probably annoying) mission to ask every pharmacist if phenylephrine was effective for anyone. I don't recall a single time I got a "yes".
This is how I handle bad days, especially when I'm feeling overwhelmed or just need time to get over something.

- Shut everything down. I'll log out of social media, block doomscrolling with SelfControl, shut down my laptop and put it in a drawer. I'll set a vacation responder and update my contact page to say that I'm on vacation. I'll tell people that I have a lot on my plate and that projects and meetings will have to wait.

- Take yourself on a date. I'll go to my special places, do the things that I like, and eat my favourite foods. Whatever would be considered a great date if someone else set it up.

- Sweat the small stuff. I'll get the fancy ingredients and make something good. I'll light candles and make the good tea. I'll set the lighting just right, put some good music on and run myself a bath. I'll pack a picnic and bike to my favourite spot, and make sure to pack tea and a blanket. The little rituals matter.

- Reset. I'll repack my luggage (on the road), tidy up my flat, or do anything necessary to get a clean slate and a sense of being in control. It's crazy how a shower and a fresh shave can clear your head.

- Nature. There's something about being in the forest that makes me feel happy and at ease. There's no explaining it. Fresh air, sunlight and trees just work.
What does a "free" internet look like without ads? Serious question, because right now ads pay for a lot. Ads are why we have reddit and twitter - two sites that I think a lot of people like.

Ads are why I could run a wordpress blog as a young student.

If you assume "the current internet is good, but we want to improve privacy" what Google is doing makes sense. Advertisers can still say "ok that person likes cars I'll show them cars" but they can't actually track that person or attribute information to them other than "likes cars".
In my circles, "immutable everything" was from the functional purists.
Modern high performance heat pumps keep 100% of performance down to 5F and often below. Shutoff is around -22f. Google “hyperheat” to see the Mitsubishi line.

The shutoff at 25F heat pump thing is people installing a device not suited for their climate. I live in IN and 90% of the people around me bought a 25F crap heat pump “for the environment”, and are actually doing more harm and eating $600 electric bills. People don’t do enough research before buying heat pumps.
Something is wrong here. The owner is in the UK and we do have robust, consumer focussed laws.

Let's start with "suspension broke" - how did that happen? Then why did Jain continue to drive until "the suspension issue caused portions of the vehicle to come in contact with the road"
>People living the life they want isn’t sad. They are empowered, and we should be happy for them

Who said they are "living the life they want"? And who said they feel"empowered"?

And even if they said those thing, who said it might not just be a cope?

Because polls and research says people report feeling (and being) lonelier and more depressed than ever - with clear increasing trend.

Which I think we should take into account before rejoicing about people living their best life, and everything being great.
I bet you're a much better developer for going that route. So many lessons to learn with diy.
Maybe someone should just buy up some lines and run steam at 120 MPH again.

If it burned natural gas it probably wouldn’t even be that polluting and it would rock hard.
this.

I went as far as uninstalling chrome ~1 year ago on my daily driver personal desktop.

I use firefox as much as possible at work, but it is "not supported" by our IT department.

Confluence doesn't even work properly with firefox, its insane. Try pasting a photo you copied into your clipboard (by selecting the file) into confluence and it wont work.

How do you know? For starters there's a bunch of solutions out there that specifically market "non-tracking" as a feature. I assume they're being used.

Come to think of it, you're on a site with track-free ads right now: the ycombinator launches/hiring posts really are just ads.

And whatever the status-quo exactly is right now, what I responded to was "if something is not sustainable without ads then it's not a good business model", and tracking really doesn't come in to play in discussing to what degree the very concept of ads is or isn't desirable, as that's just an entirely separate issue.
There are braille keyboards too
Why do people keep trying to invent more expensive, less traffic dense railroads. Did they stop teaching arithmetic in school?
> Caveat: I don't know if this is possible anymore on Apple silicon-based Macs because they apparently "require an internet connection to get firmware and other information specific to the Mac model."[^1]

On an Apple Silicon Mac you may have to install Monterey first, which doesn't require internet, do some incantantions, and then you can upgrade to Sonoma with no issue, and DEP/MDM bypassed.
> They got their LTE modem into the iPhone 11 but just couldn't compete

it wasn't "just couldn't compete", those modems were horrible. the speed was lower than the Qualcomm that managed to be shipped in some of the iphones (from 8-11), and the connections were extremely flaky. I had a 9 with an intel modem, and it was abysmal compared to the previous iPhones I had owned.

that apple went back to Qualcomm, bought the intel division, and still is shipping Qualcomm modems says a lot -- it's still just not there.
The Downtown transit tunnel (better known as the Bus tunnel). It was built for both buses and light rail, however it only hosted buses for the two decades of operation. Shared buses and trains only lasted for 10 years. A couple of years ago the buses were kicked out of the tunnel and it only services light rail now.

To my knowledge it has never serviced freight, only transit.

I aim to keep calling it the Bus tunnel—even though the transit authorities are keen on changing it—and I hope fellow Seattlites keep the name alive just for the pure quirkiness of the concept.

I don’t disagree, but just responding to your comments first paragraph.
On the other hand, this site is near the top of a link aggregator where you are seeing it for the first time.
The fact that Google picked 5% leads me to believe it isn't enough randomness.
I like it because it forces some decisions on various parties.

Don't want to look at ads online? Block them but realize you yourself may be blocked from certain places.

Don't want to allow ad-blocked users? Okay, but you lose those users unless you engage with the reason they are blocking ads and either give them an alternative or convince them to greenlist you.
It is not in excellent shape. It is riding the coattails of investments made a century ago, optimizing profits through consolidation, relentless squeezing of costs, and minimal investment in growth. Freight rail companies have constantly reduced routes and cargo types while increasing latency, discarding just about everything in order to focus on low-cost bulk transportation of extremely high-tonnage regular loads like coal and grain, while becoming more and more uncompetitive and impractical for transportation of flexible or timely loads like containers, refrigerated products, and manufactured goods. The freight trains have meanwhile gotten longer and slower, and overgrown the rails that they run on. American freight rail is eating its seed corn without investing in the long term. It remains efficient at transporting the bulk goods that it is currently handling, but it's far below what freight rail's potential should be, or perhaps even what it once was. Trucking has taken up the difference, but that's not because trucks are better-suited to such jobs. It's because the highway investments are paid for by the government, and railway investments are not.
Except you're offering their bullshit Hobson's choice: submit or live like a Mennonite. Anything now that doesn't involve you jumping at the chance to hand over larger and lager piles of money is deemed "unpatriotic" and "criminal". That sort of groomed consumer bullshit can GTFO.
Nursing Homes or Personal Care Homes (small-scale Assisted Living)?
...What are you talking about? HTML files are readable on basically every platform, even moreso because they are fundamentally text files (unlike PDFs, which are binaries). PDFs need special software, html can be read on the command line. Likewise, HTML is dead simple to edit and annotate.

Seriously, name a single device that has PDF support that doesn't allow you to view HTML.

I think you're conflating "html" and "things stored on a server", because all of your objections apply to pdfs stored on a server. The ability to save and annotate pdfs is not an inherent feature of the file format, they exist because the format is such a PITA to interact with that specialized programs have to be written. HTML can be saved just as easily, and usually is (on archive.org).
