> to break and fall off.

fall off I heard that before.

[Senator Collins:] Well, I’m not saying it wasn’t safe, it’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

[Interviewer:] Why?

[Senator Collins:] Well, some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
if this had anything to do with passing a test, it would look significantly different.

the point is to make tests not fail. you can’t fail the test you don’t take.

the logic is completely sound. it’s just also removed from reality. which might make it seem a bit mad.
> Have you ever stopped to ponder how your very existence actually does such damage to everyone else around you

Yes, and you should go out of your way to minimize this as much as possible, as a high priority of life in a shared space with other people. Rather than make it worse, on purpose, because "f150ck you, I got mine" (which is at least honest), or failing that, whatever excuse serves to mask the juvenile selfishness of this attitude.
.. as others have mentioned, current practices rival Soviet design .. we are at an all time low in some ways. Anyone who is interested ought to be encouraged IMHO

Thanks!

Still on TextKit 1. I am thinking of migrating to 2, but I still have downloads on older Macs, so I want to wait. Supporting both 1 and 2 in parallel would be a nightmare.

To be honest, I have not experienced a lot of dramatic updates. Apple has a good track record of keeping things backward compatible. The issues that I find on the new betas, I fix before the OSes are released in the Fall.
So you're demanding special features for every medium of the book? That sounds expensive to produce, especially if the publisher only has one sale to capture all of those costs.

Do you want paperback books to cost $100? Because that's basically what you're demanding if you want all that other stuff free with every purchase.
They're going to rename the planes to HBO.
You know how we often talk about how publicly-traded companies' executives seem to have a tendency to make incredibly short-sighted decisions whose only clear motive is the immediate-term impact on stock price?

It's like that but for politics.
Why do they insist on making their life harder? Just use Cocoa...
I made a couple apps that only I use and is very niche because probably only I would use it but very helpful.
Not doing drugs leads to a healthier society and better people. However it definitely results in much lower life enjoyment. Getting satisfaction from being productive is not universal. Me for instance. I’ve worked on and managed hugely important projects and get almost no satisfaction from it being successful. I’m happy and content when I have nothing to do and can peacefully work on my hobbies that may or may not be productive. Nothing compares to having a good time at the rave in ecstasy or gambling and sex high on cocaine. I haven’t done hard drugs in a decade but they do make life enjoyable for people not driven by traditional societal drivers.

Even if the takedown process is followed, the DMCA §512 safe harbor doesn't apply if the service provider has "actual knowledge" of specific infringing content. Content ID was (probably) first developed in response to lawsuit by Viacom on those grounds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._Y....), although it's not clear if their arguments would have ultimately been successful.

> In its petition to the FAA, Boeing argues the breakup of the engine nacelle is “extremely improbable” and that an exemption will not reduce safety.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd trust Boeing's judgement on the probability of catastrophic events at this point...
When you do drugs with your own body, do you also drive and create accidents, forcing other on what to do with their bodies (go to hospital, cemetery)?

Right now in my country this is the situation with the rise of drugs use.
KotH is almost unique in that the dad isn't the dumbest character. It's hard to name many other shows like this. Bob's Burgers, I guess, but that's about it.
There is no planet on which Fedora makes more sense than CentOS Stream as a CentOS replacement.
That's such a blurry line, isn't it? And there are so many approaches. I tend to journal such things in the form of personal wiki pages documenting both my thoughts and why I think them, with links to sources. Basically, I'm writing to myself, but in a way that I could restore state after getting amnesia. It's probably overkill but it helps me think things through.
I worked on a small team for years and the other person who was there that whole time was an inject guy. I'm a reduce guy. It's fine, we never tried to change each other, but I never got over the mental hump of "what does inject do? Oh right".

This is for the smallest possible style difference. I agree that a lot of folks get hung up on their personal preferences and want to fight about. Linters reduce those fights, and encourage everybody to just deal with it.
As mentioned elsewhere, this key will be required as a part of the standard Windows keyboard layout. This is not true of other recent keys (emoji, office, etc.).
Fair point. I even remember that video releasing and here I am 3 years later spreading misinformation like exactly what it is ranting about.

I think the visual/contextual similarities with the original manga/anime run do in fact point more plainly to the reality of the mouses' relationship with their public domain reworks.

That is, what they did exactly exemplifies excellent use of the public domain. They did more than just updated reproductions of the original works. They used the public domain as a starting point, an inspiration, but told their own stories; often wildly different from their source, like, where I mention elsewhere, The Little Mermaid.

The problem focused on should be that while they benefited from having access to these works in the public domain they have spent time and resources to ensure others are unable to do the same with work they have financial control over that should have long been included in the public domain.
> But do the bugs get to production? That was my question.

Yes, in my case anyway. That code didn't have any unit tests around it. Goland didn't flag it. It's a pattern that was "surprising" to me at least. Particularly since it breaks with tradition.

I consider Goland to be invaluable when coding go. But still, it's not perfect.

> There was the Digg outage caused by a default argument being [] instead of None

FWIW Pycharm flags this now, and can fix this automatically. Not sure about VSCode.

I guess the point I'm making is IDE's should find the novice mistakes, and then a lot of my complaints about languages go away.
Capitalism exploits vulnerabilities to extract and accumulate surplus value. Progress in technologies enables such exploration that was previously inaccessible or impractical.
What is Microsoft suppsed to represent? I'm not sure their brand has ever been anything more concrete over its total existence other than BASIC/MS-DOS in the beginning, a few long running products (Windows, Office, Xbox, Azure) and that it is involved with user-facing technology.
Actually I like using snap. Sure, it's not perfect, but for some things it just works. Sometimes it's really nice just to execute one line without downloading/extracting/installing stuff by yourself.
> Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards

Not to mine.

> A quick Microsoft demo video shows the Copilot key in between the cluster of arrow keys and the right Alt button, a place where many keyboards usually put a menu button, a right Ctrl key, another Windows key, or something similar

I barely use any of those keys, especially the menu key.

Just Microsoft's marketing department doing what they have alwasy done.
They're specifically marketing to car manufacturers in the press release video. Which is unfortunate because I don't need more non-haptic buggy interfaces in my car. The technology itself is amazing even though the holo-cam appears to be just greyscale and rather blurry right now. The ability to embed the optics in/near (hard to tell from the marketing) the edge of the glass is awesome as you don't need a projector that is separate (by much) from the display surface.
Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!
I’ve been on a similar hunt. My devices are littered with copies of videos that were shared via iMessage, WhatsApp, and other means. Each of these apps then store the copy locally which then gets backed up in iCloud.

Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to automatically delete all the videos/photos that I send which still have the original in the photo stream. It would be awesome to be able to automate that.
BilR (Bilirubin Reductase - the enzyme in bacteria that breaks down Bilirubin).

The pathway is basically:

Hemoglobin => Heme => Biliverdin => Bilirubin => Urobilinogen => Urobilin

The general pathway has been known for a while and basically got Hans Fischer the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1930. What was not known was the enzyme that converted Bilirubin to Urobilinogen. Previously we said it was just "bacteria."
I had an AWS account get shut down because Netcraft straight up lied to them that there was some ongoing and active criminal activity and the server needed to be shut down immediately. Obviously no criminal activity, or even simulated criminal activity. It was hosting a web frontend for a common security tool, and they just happened to see the banner while scanning the internet.

I confronted Netcraft about it and they just told me that they didn't actually detect anything like criminal activity, but they need to say that or else Amazon won't take their reports seriously. Pretty fucked IMO.
If you don't have home charging then you're probably not driving an EV right now. You're waiting for new battery tech to provide for faster charging. Meanwhile, there's only been about 6% penetration of EV's into the homeowner market so it's not like there isn't growth for years to come just in that market alone.
Cmd+f, "vim", Cmd+w

>I often find myself wanting to use that internal stuff

And then curse Apple when the internals change and your app breaks?
I think you forgot "I don't like 'if !foo' but I don't know what a guard clause is."

This is from DHH, the Rails guy.
this is so dumb - first of all, patients weren't randomized to drug vs placebo, so almost certainly, it was the sicker patients who got the drug. If you repeated the analysis with “hospital admission” as the variable of interest, you’d find… ”deaths induced by admission to hospital during first covid wave”, somehow I don’t think the authors would conclude that admitting less of these patients to hospital would be beneficial.

secondly, “We did not consider studies containing only ICU patients because too many external parameters could influence the results” - this also makes no sense, if there is ANY group where the benefit might outweigh the small but non-zero risk of harm from the drug, its in the sickest patients, so why would you exclude those patients unless you’re trying to get a predetermined result? After all, all of the studies and patients had “many external parameters could influence the results”

A great example of how to mislead with statistics
Or maybe people and should have morals and standards beyond "whatever is legal."
That is very helpful, I did not have the right words.
The brand in question there was ".NET" not "Microsoft".

I use the menu key. And all this new key provides is to open copilot sidebar. That’s all. I expected something like a push to talk conversation agent using the key. It’s not the case. Very underwhelming, IMHO.

EDIT: I actually assumed it would open the sidebar because that’s what I saw on Scott Hanselman’s alternate shortcut trick video. Maybe Microsoft is planning for a push to talk agent. In that case, a dedicated key might be okay.
Microsoft represents a solid, stable, enterprise-friendly, conservative, but still somewhat “innovative” (whatever that means) company. Or at least that’s their brand. Given that a huge part of their value is their long term sales relationships, I’d say they are an extremely brand-reliant company.
I have certainly found myself surprised at times in the last decade or more when frameworks and similar have simply not supported multipart/form-data for a long time, given that it’s the only way you can use <input type=file> (since it needs to convey the file name as well, as a header on the part; application/x-www-form-urlencoded has no way of conveying that).
Jupiter is a masterpiece. Mars is fine. Honestly the rest of the Planets Suite is kind of a pass unless you're studying music. Of course Jupiter is the one they remix ("arrange"?) in Bluey.

Checks out
It's mouse-right click but on the keyboard (context menu). I believe it's an accessibility thing now that I think about it, which might be why MS is saying "maybe" and considering other keys to replace instead - though that's speculation on my part.

Also, unless I misunderstood this, this is only being mandated for hardware that ships with Windows on it (Eg, surface or desktops that come with windows installed), so this is only being mandated for peripherals that their software is going to run on (or on devices those peripherals come with and connect to).

Will Dell be lazy and ship the copilot key on their ubuntu laptops? I'd be damned shocked if they didn't, but that's just them cutting corners/oversight if I understand this correctly? For example, System76 can completely disregard this if they so choose. I'm sure Apple will.
Ah good, I'm sure that will age as well as the Cortana button.
It says they support RHEL:

Yeah I ran it and shrunk my library by half. It was kinda scary since I had 100000 photos, I couldn’t really inspect the process
My point was more that people wouldn't join unions if individual action always was all it took.

Indeed, sometimes the role of the union is to get everybody doing the same thing, and provide a safety net for individuals who suffer repercussions for doing the thing.
The argument for a rate cut is that the effective rate (real rate adjusted for inflation) will increase as inflation subsides and headline rate is held. So the same rate that was pumping the brakes at 7% inflation would be slamming them at 2% inflation.

I agree with your skepticism though.
Isn't Delta-Sigma and PDM exactly how DSD works? In fact, I think Sony originally came up with DSD as an intermediate representation of PCM in one of their DACs and then Sony & Phillips got the harebrained idea to use it in SACD. That is to say, a simple DAC for DSD is just a capacitor functioning as a low-pass filter, without any other components.

Well, if they replace the "menu" key with anything else, that won't have any impact on me as I never use it.

I did not read the article in-depth but class D audio amplifiers use variable pulse widths and then filter it before the speaker. Aside from very good efficiency you also remove the need for a transformer using this method hence why its used.

It wasn't clear to me if Boeing was asking for a exception such as "allow the planes to fly, but beat the pilots about turning the 'melt engine' feature off until we can design and build out a fix for this" or a "let's never fix it and pretend it won't happen".

The first almost is reasonable, the second is kinda batshit.

I barely used Twitter before it became X, and I barely use it now. But before and now, I noticed the same thing in the dev circles I'm in (the Node/JS world):

* Immense hubris surrounding tech stacks/frameworks of choice, to the point where people outright lie about competing technologies

* Framework authors' non-stop boasting and clickbaiting about their tools or new shiney $599 courses (it's marketing, I get it)

* Extreme prejudice against people who have differing political views; political arguments are basically unavoidable on Twitter/X no matter who you follow -- and they are never productive

* People moral posturing about leaving Twitter/X for Mastodon when Elon took over. Of course, none of these people ever stopped using Twitter/X because it would have cost them their followers. It was pure lip service.

I saw really nasty behavior by noteworthy folks in this circle (people who work at Google/Meta/Vercel), and I know these people are smart, but it made me think that Twitter/X just brings out the worst in people, and I don't think Elon taking over really made that much of a difference in the content (at least in my experience).
I've been thinking about this a lot, and I have two solutions:

* distribute on Testflight and never actually do a real release

* make an HTML app that works well on mobile, and can be cached for offline

Gradually I think I'm coming to prefer doing the HTML version
Yes, on principle, against user-hostile software development practices.

As always not sure what you’re on about.

All it takes is one moron who wants to hurt people to strap something dangerous to a drone and send it off in a civilian area. In a best-case scenario, going outside is ruined for everybody. In a worst-case scenario, like China or North Korea is the who does it and it’s a widespread/orchestrated event.

Seems pretty inevitable to me
Ask HN: It's 2024. What would be your ideal blogging service?
Happy New Year. It's now 2024.

With everything you know and seen as of today, what would be your ideal blogging platform? Please give your opinion as either content consumer and/or producer.

With the proliferation of walled gardens (specially for consuming web content), lock-in, continuos nagging to sign-in everywhere, spam, push for social validation, adverts, bait and switch offerings, etc. can't help but think that blogging is again ripe for disruption.

For example, could we make blogging platforms more competitive? Enable blogs to be more provider-agnostic and portable? Empower clients and encourage portability? Establish a platform-agnostic blog spec (file format)? Had enough of your current provider? Easily move to a better one.

Are there new (or lesser known) blogging services you like, which provide great value (while remaining genuinely honest)? How should it fund itself? Would you pay as a producer, to enable your content to be freely available without sign-ups or paywalls?

What are your must-haves? Offline editing? Rich text editing? Markdown editing? Mobile/tablet editing? Native editing? Bring-your own text editor? Anything is game.
That's a bummer! I know there's a few places that have used it on the 50k+ scale, so once the kinks for your environment, it should be great. If there's anything that can be done to improve the script, we'd love to help! Feel free to join the chat and share what's up in ~migrations.

> He said the pilot procedure the FAA approved as an interim solution — urging pilots to make sure to turn off the system when icing conditions dissipate to avoid overheating that within five minutes could seriously damage the structure of the nacelle — is inadequate given the serious potential danger.

This is insane

What are the chances that even a very well trained and experienced major US airline crew would forget to turn of the engine anti-ice within 5 minutes of non-icing conditions? Greater than zero for sure.
The article suggests the first

>Boeing would have until mid-2026 to design, test and certify a permanent fix for the engine anti-ice system defect that would then be retrofitted to all MAXs.
> I think that all "photos" or "videos" are just a view of the underlying "photo or video object". If you crop a video, the full-size video will remain. Only if you export the video, it will be cropped and the smaller file size will manifest.

Yup, the Photos app keeps the unmodified original file, and then any edits/crops are stored separately. You can always revert to the original file and redo your edits. So they might be storing multiple copies of the same image, with and without edits.

Which API were you looking at for "file size"?

I was able to get the size data from Photos.app with the PhotoKit API [1]. I've only tested it with my library of ~26k items, but it was useful for getting an indicator of the biggest items. (Although I didn't think to check whether exporting a 1GB video caused my iCloud usage to drop by 1GB.)
