I'm not sure what you mean by "apologist" or what you're trying to say, I'm not the person you're answering to, and I have no dog in this fight.

But you're talking in a very affirmative manner and apparently trying to say that one is "correct" and the other is not, while absolutely ignoring context and usage.

I recommend you either run yourself, or find on the web, a benchmark about not a single HTTP request, but an actual web page, requesting the html, the css, the js, and the images. Don't even need to go modern web, even any old pre 2010 design with no font or anything else fancy will do.

You will see that HTTP 1 and 1.1 are way, way worse at it that HTTP 2. Which is why HTTP 2 was created, and why it should be used. Also the sad joke that was domain rolling to trick simultaneous request per host configurations.

Overall, your point of view doesn't make sense because this is not a winner takes all game. Plenty of server should and do also run HTTP 1 for their usage, notably file servers and the likes. The question to ask is "how many request in parallel do the user need, and how important that they all finish as close to each other as possible instead of one after the other".

Similarily, HTTP3 is mostly about latency.
I'm pretty sure your right. The math here assumes an equal amount of people learn it each day, but in reality it's weight towards infants, toddlers, children, teens, etc that haven't come across that info yet.

But that doesn't change the validity of the conclusion: When someone doesn't know about something, it's always best to excitedly show them the information than to mock them for not knowing it.
Those are my feelings as well.

Not the best laid out PCB or the best project structure. But it works, and it's fairly complex.
Thanks for the correction! The graph disappears for me around the 80th, so I didn’t know you could click in the invisible part and still see numbers. I assumed the trend continued.

The differences, however, are pretty minor (a few hundred dollars to $1,500 at most from what I spot checked), whereas in the differences are thousands and tens of thousands of dollars after the 80th percentile. So it seems like the top 20% in CA earn sufficiently more than the top 20% in NY to far outweigh whatever extra 30% to 70% in NY earn.
P.S. Is there an XKCD poking fun of the fact that 99% of HN edits are replacing '_' with '*' ?

No, well there should be.
> How long would that temporary measure help?

As long as you do it.

> What would that do to acidic rain, global dimming, ecology and agriculture.

Well, it's a trade-off. Is sulfur worse than global warming?

> Masking the problem will only make it come back harder

Geo-engineering is not an opportunity to stop phasing out fossils, but a way to get more time for better technology to spread.
It may also depend on whether you also have an iPhone/ipad.

I don't. Hence I never bothered to sign into Apple. Works for what I do (coding, web browsing).

Try not to fight the thing.

And congrats on the new Mac! Which one is it?
It means, "read #1624" for more info.

Would be great if issues were tracked inside of the git repo tho, or the reference would point to some code hosting instance.
In the most bizarre of coincidences I just installed anki now before seeing it on the front page of hackernews
The “good for democracy” narrative both sprouted and broke with the Arab Spring.

And yeah, electing someone from a demographic that literally couldn’t vote a generation earlier does ring a bit differently than electing someone who is now claiming absolute immunity from any legal repercussions, declaring he’ll be a dictator on day one of his second term, and refusing to agree not to use political power to go after personal opponents.

One of those is a democratic achievement and the other is not. It’s only confusing if you squint so hard that “I’ll be a dictator on day one” doesn’t read as antidemocratic.
Modern farms are highly dependent on global infrastructure for things like fuel and fertilizer and fuel.

If personal resilience is your goal, then you must look into permaculture, no-till and agroforestry.
That's because it's more just a nice secondary factor. ;)

Mostly I moved because it amused me. I have a long history of going to places I can't actually locate on a map, eg I thought Northwestern University would be in Portland, not Chicago - imagine my shock when I stepped off the plane. Similarly with Finland. I knew so little about the place that when the opportunity to move arose I couldn't not take it, it would be like turning down getting teleported into the inside of a black hole.
"I used to not worry about climate change, but now I really want the clicks."
Believe it or not, this concept of having strong pain killers available to the public is somewhat American-centric. Much of Europe does not consider the need for strong pain killers available in society, and pain tolerance is quite different in, for example Germany or the Netherlands, where it has been nearly impossible to get anything strong for pain for many decades.
You could have posted that opinion as a top-level comment and/or skipped the 'living under a rock' snipe in your initial reply, given they weren't talking about that so they focused on the thing they -were- talking about and no rock needed to've been involved.

Implying the other person is a fool for not already agreeing with you before making your actual point doesn't generally tend to strengthen said point.
Here's how.

If you have good opioids in hand then there's no need to buy opioids of uncertain strength from dubious sources. Thus your dosage is more controllable.

If your supply is reliable then there is no seesaw of deprivation when you're out and overindulgence when you're flush.

For further data, apply the same logic that keeps people from oding on alchohol.
There are so many aspects of modern EVs that gas engine cars have no way of keeping up with.

Like, 220V AC outlets are becoming pretty standard on newer EVs. In you can pre-heat or pre-cool the car no matter where it's parked. It's possible and now common to build EVs with a skateboard-like architecture which gives way more interior space than a gasoline car ever could. You can build cars with 2, 3 or even 4 motors, with super fast torque vectoring. It's feasible to have steering on the rear wheels. And we're not even done with the innovations. Look at Hyundai's recently announced Uni Wheel design which frees up even more interior space.
This is naive. It's not the absolute temperature that's the problem, it's the rate of change. Temperature is going to change faster than most species can adapt, and that's why the food chain could collapse in the worst case.
Rainbows look super cool in my two-band IR camera!
Aren't all immigrants like this?
KSR is a good prose writer but I found The Ministry of the Future to be full of extremely unconvincing scenarios and I don't think you should let it inform your worldview. It's just a story written by someone who does not really know what they're talking about.
Unfortunately the materials coating the non-stick pans are well-established carcinogens. Cast iron stuff is a good alternative and needs only a bit more care.
>but living through 30 years of catastrophic predictions not happening has made me question the messenger instead.

Have you seen what's been happening the last couple of years?
There are catastrophic predictions actually happening, sure some of them were wrong but the planet is in a pretty fucked up state right now.
There's a bunch of different subtypes I've used. But one surprisingly high ROI example has been private vs public IP flashcard examples.

E.g. "10.1.0.0 - private or public?" "Private - everything in 10.0.0.0/8 is considered private". "192.169.0.0?" "Public".
You seem to be agreeing with me as well as not agreeing? Even though you don’t track everything inside the repo, you can still keep the most relevant commit context inside the repository by using the pull request description in the commit message. That’s what commit messages are for.

(As for issue tracking: I use git-bug sometimes when the project doesn’t have an issue tracker or if I want to make my own issues. The issues are tracked in the same repository.)
You can do anything in kicad; altium isn't doing anything special to make something possible that's not possible in kicad.

The problem is that it's exceedingly tedious to do in kicad some of the more advanced things that altium and others can do.

Think C vs C++. Nothing C++ does is inherently impossible in C (in terms of observable side effects). For example, RAII is a one liner in C++. In C, it's two lines and some extra thought about control flow. Not impossible, just a bit more mental overhead.
Admittedly, I'm a "well-read, intellectual-type" person, but I find videos of people talking to be exceedingly boring. I can't stand podcasts or talk radio either. To me they're just tedious, and whenever I try to watch or listen, I have to turn them off after a few minutes. The S/N ratio is so low. The speakers take 10 minutes to say something that could be read in 1 minute. It's a giant waste of time. And you're forced to sit through all of the filler: the "ums", the "ahs", the pauses, the idle chit-chat.

I don't deny that talk media is massively popular. I don't get it, though. It's not for me. I would guess that maybe viewers/listeners want to identify with the speakers and consider them friends.
Dang, the new video is NOT the original Sabine video and is some weird, stupid thing. Please change it back to Sabine's video.
Drugs aren’t a solution, they’re just treating the symptom not the cause. It might help for a short while, but all you’re doing is delaying having to deal with your shit; it also gets harder the longer you leave it.

Been there, got all the shirts, there’s no shortcut to getting out of it.

You got this.
Unintentionally meta: I'd never seen the 3rd-most popular, 1053, "Ten Thousand" before. I love that one.

Mostly due to inertia, we were already in Bangkok, Phuket was close by. The alternative was Bali. We have a cat and felines don't move so easily within Asia.

We're looking for similar places in EU or US timezones, but - contrary to information for digital nomads - it's hard to find information about good places to live as a family...

I haven't lived in America so I can't compare, but compared to Europe, Thailand to a certain extent feels like Southern Europe, eg Portugal, Spain, Italy IMO. Not only the weather, also efficiency, organisation, less focus on families, ...
Look up the rates of successful asylum and refugee applications.

In the US, which takes in far more refugees and asylum seekers, it’s around half a percentage point of all legal immigration attempts succeed.

You don’t need soil, you need fertilizer and water. We farm outside now because it’s cheap. If you move to a temporarily inhospitable place then farming outside is no longer cheap so it is better to do it inside or in outdoor hydroponic or aeroponic systems if the weather is nice enough.
"Oxycontin was misclassified due to fraudulent reportings of the drug's capabilities and marketing campaign. However that should have never affected people getting legit pain care, but it definitely did."

What does legit pain care look like? Does it include the prescription of narcotics to outpatients on an ongoing basis, or for more than a couple days? While the safety of oxycontin was misrepresented, I assume there are still some problems with how other narcotics are administered to outpatients.
People like things and get interested in things.

I found a good exercise in learning passions and values is asking “what would you do if you knew you would fail?”

So it helps learn what is really important and what you like if you knew that you would need to destroy it afterwards.
Holy shit, I missed this one. That's wild.
reminds me of sacking of rome by barbarians

Show HN: 12-colored visual interactive music theory for pop/rock MIDI (+Github)
I'm sharing an early prototype of my open-source interactive book and MIDI viewer. My approach is to annotate a tonic and phrasing in each file, so that chords become visible as 3-4 color bundles after a bit of training. This radically simplifies seeing and hearing chords, so that you can rapidly browse through many arrangements and study Western harmonic/arrangement language

If you don't have a touchpad, a horizontal scrolling can be done via shift+mouse wheel (generally on the web). Also, I have a second color scheme that I tried to optimized for people with color vision deficiencies.

My big dream now is to have all piano rolls in DAWs support 12-coloring (in any color scheme really), so that the music can be seen as less complex, less gatekeeped and less entangled. It's not as hard as I've seen it before.

Source code: https://github.com/vpavlenko/rawl

It currently doesn't play music from Russia or Türkiye (=requires a VPN), because I rely on corsproxy.io internally which blocks access from those countries. I plan to rehost stuff on S3 soon to fix that.

Also, it's more performant in Chrome than in Safari - audio clicks less.

===

Backstory: I quit Whatsapp in 2021 to focus full-time on studying music theory. Along that I've assembled a list of resources to see the frontier: https://github.com/vpavlenko/study-music

My biggest inspiration is Hooktheory - an interactive book that teaches how melody and chords interact in Western pop music. After it I wanted to study how the rest of the arrangement works - what the bass line is doing, how is melody doubled, what chromatic chords are possible, are there any functional pre-dominants and dominants in mixolydian or dorian etc.

I wanted to focus on music for which the complete arrangement is clean and available. This is early chiptune (NES/Genesis) OSTs and MIDI arrangements (primarily created in 1990s). As I plugged MIDIs into my front-end, I discovered that the harmonic analysis - the cornerstone of studying Western harmony - can be done by eyes in real-time. That is, if you color the notes consistently, the chords start to stare at you, sharply and memorably.

I'm intrigued by latest shifts towards corpus studies in music theory and I'm generally happy that nowadays the research is not just about classical music anymore. At least in the West.
I have watched the Fog of War so many times.

It is just hard for me to rate the King of Kong or American Movie against the Fog of War though. Those are my top 3.

I will have to give the The Act of Killing a go.
you're missing something

Apple could:

hide a default off "install third party apps from safari" flag somewhere deep in the settings

make it so you can only install 3rd party apps from the web using a special browser that doesn't come pre-installed, like in Fire TV OS

have a "never allow third party installs" flag that can only be set when initialising the device (or in the BIOS that iOS devices don't have but should). if the user wants a walled garden, they can choose it for themselves

these are simple options I thought of in 5 minutes that would likely solve 99% of cases, or at the very least absolve Apple of responsibility for them

the world's richest and probably most capable tech company could permanently solve this problem with all the resources in their metaphorical left thumbnail, if they wanted to, but they don't want to, because this argument is an excuse for maintaining their market dominance, not a genuine concern
I recently discovered Galene, a one file videoconferencing executable that runs on my raspberry pi.

Bye bye zoom and other bloat/spyware.
He did more than that. He also assured everyone that this was an isolated phenomenon:

>>> Apple’s HIG explain why this decision was made (my link), so I don’t think it is part of a larger trend and we shouldn’t expect it to impact anyone not using VisionOS, or other such headsets with eye tracking.

Dalewyn's response makes perfect sense in this context.
Not that I’m aware of but that would be really cool. Case studies, with visual components, of how complex, real-world design problems were solved.
I think you misunderstood. Taxes have not been lowered or removed, they don't exist in the first place.
Glad to be here! I'll likely be visiting Sweden for work next month, you guys are doing great over there.
And then what? Does overall opioid use go up? Or do you believe it would stay the same?
I agree with the conclusion of your argument. Everyone does deserve to die with dignity. That said, now doesn’t have to be the “right” time for you.

You should consider talking to someone with experience with these feelings. You can call 988 and talk through the logic. There are lots of people who felt the way you’re describing and came to conclude a different path was actually better in the meantime.
The short answer seems to be "it's complicated"

> The team needed to tread carefully. Harvey knew that Otomo and his son, Shohei Otomo, were fans of Bartkira, and for a while Shohei was interested in getting involved with the project. James Stacey, a friend of Harvey and the owner of Tokyo, Japan-based comic publisher Black Hook Press, had been in touch with Kodansha, the company behind Young Magazine. Eventually, he received a letter that said Kodansha would never be able to endorse the project but was aware of its existence. A Bartkira book could be printed but never with the pages in sequential order, because this would create a direct competitor to Akira and give readers another, potentially cheaper way to consume Otomo's story.

> "Which was, I feel, forward-thinking of them," Harvey says.

> It was a similar situation with Matt Groening. The Bartkira organizers knew that he had seen a copy but to date have never received a cease and desist order. As an extra defense, Harvey decided to donate all of the book's profits to charity. Some went to the OISCA Coastal Forest Restoration Project in Japan's Miyagi Prefecture, where Otomo grew up. The rest went to Save the Children, a charity preferred by the late The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon.
I think, bizarrely, the control pattern for mute "flows" the opposite way to the control for pause/play. If there's a play icon, and you click it, you expect it to play the video. If there's a pause button, you expect it to pause the video. Going against this pattern, if I see a speaker icon, and I click it, I expect it to transition to a crossed-speaker, and mute the video, and vise versa. That is: the current button state in play/pause reflects the action of the button, while the current button state in volume reflects the state of the button.

I think these conventions are easily solved for video, anyway, because it's obvious when the video is muted or not (hopefully).
Drugs are great. You are entitled to your opinion, and so am I. There's nothing morally wrong with not wanting to participate in a society based on suffering and exploitation of poor people in far away places.
While it’s definitely more difficult to have more pain, it also guides your recovery much better. You are much more aware of what you should or shouldn’t be doing while you rehabilitate, instead of numbing everything.

Unless it’s absolutely chronic pain, I think we’ve definitely over prescribed even in Europe. (Source: german)
I just watched American Movie for the first time a few weeks ago. It is just so endearing man.

Hell, I might watch it again today.
That is what happens when the government hits them with nebulous liability for political points.

Government leaders do not want to clearly define the rules, but still want to pin the problem on others. If the government makes the rules clear, and the policies result in failure, then they get blamed.

If the government outsources the policing, then the government leaders can point fingers and satisfy public outrage, at the expense of the affected public which is not politically powerful enough to do anything about it.
From TFA:

“It’s so easy to demonise Purdue and the Sacklers. I agree that what they did was terrible. I think a number of them should be in jail. But I’ve thought for some time that the issue behind it all is the structure of the system,” he said.

I really do get that sentiment, but IF the USA legal system had properly prosecuted Purdue execs from the get-go - there's a reasonable chance others would have been less inclined to also play the 'but what we're doing is technically not too illegal' card and try to run the same playbook.

The structure is doubtless a legal manifestation of Swiss cheese, but that doesn't mean the state can't react violently to a violent attack against its most vulnerable citizens.
I was in the care of a pain clinic when the fire hose was abruptly shut off. I wasn't being given oxycontin, but I still suffered from the sudden change. I went from sustainable maintenance to a drug that gave me serious side effects, but the doctors refused to listen. Even when a sleep study objectively showed the damage the buprenorphine was doing, I was told it's that or nothing. The doctors were terrified of new scrutiny of their prescription activity, so they just cut people off.

Do no harm was destroyed by the knee jerk reaction by the government.

Now, my poor wife is in constant debilitating pain from hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos but gets treated like she's drug seeking. While multiple joints are dislocated.

I wish everyone who made decisions that led to this mess would suffer what my wife suffers, and get treated the same way by the medical establishment.
It's a bad idea.

Opioids are incredibly addictive. At one point something like 25% of the male population of China 'regularly consumed' opium, i.e. they were addicted to it, and China has always been a country with at least a certain sense of order.

Opium is also special, even among other dangerous drugs. It takes over your brain's reward system and makes things you previously regarded as pleasurable as uninteresting compared to opium. It permanently destroys people.

Making it common as beer is a terrible idea. Rather I think it's likely that the opium sellers and everyone associated with the distribution and marketing of opioids need to be dealt with quite brutally.

Don't think of things like carfentanil as a drugs. Think of them as chemical weapons.
Seems like given all he did was wiggle a handle it could also potentially happen accidentally.

The glue comparison would be more akin to him breaking out logic probes.
Do you have an example or two that’s not open to interpretation?

I’ve seen a lot of things blamed on climate that are debatable. Wild fires, hurricanes, freak high tides, etc.

If it’s a true crisis we shouldn’t be grasping at normal climate events and trying to argue they’re slightly worse.
My boy is 11 now. We've used Anki with him every day since he was about 5.

Examples of things he's memorized, for fun:

* every country, recognized by unlabeled shape on the map

* spelling

* many body parts, names of bones and organs, from illustration

* chemical elements, by symbol (Na, Fe, Zn, etc)

* unix filesystem commands

* numeracy references (km from here to Japan, earth to sun, meters from home to school)

* recognizing/naming photos of places we've been since he was born

* recognizing musical instruments or musical pieces by listening

* notes on a piano

* religious facts (when Judaism began & who started it, when Muslims pray & towards what, where Jesus was born & died, etc)

* names of characters in books he's read

* wise aphorisms

He enjoys it, and dances around while answering, proud of himself. Sometimes when learning something new on YouTube, on his own, he'll say, "Dad can we add this to Anki? I want to remember this."
