That's true, but I just can't live in a world where mute goes the opposite way. I'm not aware of a major media player that doesn't cross out the mute when audio is muted (assuming it uses a crossed out icon at all).

I also can't live in a world where play/pause is opposite to the way it is now: play icon should mean the media is paused, pause icon should mean the media is playing, as you suggest.

If we constrain ourselves to only having two buttons (one play/pause, one mute/unmute), and only differentiating them by the shown icon, then I'm afraid it just has to go with the convention. They are inconsistent with each other, but intuitiveness beats consistency I guess.

Apple has handled its response, including the proposed App Store changes, to the EU's DMA with aplomb despite the law being an assault on Apple's brand promise.

Most of the companies that are complaining fall into two categories:
# Small companies who did not exist before iPhone and / or will not thrive if an open platform like AppStore goes away
# Large companies with their own agenda to push their own platforms (almost always worse for consumer from privacy platforms)

I have no issue with big companies like Google, Spotify, Epic battling Apple but how suddenly so many common users have become open critics of Apple when they have dog in the fight is a victory of PR of those companies.

While you may be technically true, it is obviously clear that some places are far safer than others, and moving to another place will have a very high impact on how global warming affects you, as some regions will be affected much more harshly than others. At the extreme, some places may be underwater or otherwise uninhabitable, but if you can afford to, moving away from them in a timely manner, you can escape being forced to do so at a time when doing so may be much harder.

It would be great to have a desktop OS aimed at professional use again, but everybody has been chasing the needs of the mythical "casual user" in the last few decades (which is basically the tiny cross section of the taste and requirements of all computer users lumped together, but that tiny cross section on its own is useless without being extensible and customizable to the needs of each specific user)
And, in the case of Toyotas eCVTs, keeping the ICE in the most-efficient-rpm sweet spot longer by allowing the ICE RPM to be pretty much independent of the wheel RPM. It's somewhat strange because RPM noise barely correlats with speed or acceleration anymore.

Also: start-stop-automatic for free ... I am still somewhat spooked when the motor just turns off going 70 km/h because the ECU decides that the ICE is not needed anymore.

The article doesn’t seem to support your claim.

“After the ban came into force, global concentrations of CFC-11 declined steadily until about 2012. However, last year scientists discovered the pace of that slowdown slowed by half between 2013 and 2017. Because the chemical is not naturally occurring, the change could only have been produced by new emissions.”

> we don't need 80 billion as a prerequisite to have more

Your claim, unproven. My point is that 80 billions souls will produce 80 billions souls worth of art, science, literature, and culture. Which sounds divine. Why would you be opposed to such a thing if it can be accomplished sustainably?

> It's bounded by an upper limit of humans living like turkeys in a turkey farm and tossing the weak in the chipper to blend back in with the feed

Seems that you have a dark turn of mind, which explains the pessimism.

> What is the argument for pushing human population to 80 billion, and at what cost does that come in terms of human living standards and the other non human life we share the planet with?

Humans have lived regeneratively and sustainably in the past. We seem to be in the process of figuring out how to do it in a less labor intensive manner presently. I do my part to live sustainably, and I believe in humanity's ability to innovate and adapt and to address complex problems. Seems like you feel differently.

> you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library

Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?

Certainly, not everyone needs it.

...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.

Was that not the point from the beginning?

unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.

This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification; perfectly fair, you're certainly not beholden to anyone to implement features just because they want you to, but I think it's difficult to argue there's not concrete use for something like this, in a way that aligns with the project principals.

I would go so far as to argue that:

> Do not allocate many tiny objects with their own lifetime (and *probably unclear or shared ownership*)

Is hostile to not having a unique pointer.

Not bad advice. Another good tip is to use the right pasta for the right sauce.

As any Italian would explain, Spaghetti Bolognese is not actually a thing at least not what you think it is. You wouldn't use spaghetti for a meat sauce but a bit more chunky kind of pasta like tagliatelle or papardelle. You'd use spaghetti for a fish pasta; which is what you risk getting in Bologna if you are ordering a spaghetti bolognese. Basically, they'd serve you a tuna & tomato sauce. Nothing wrong with that of course. But if you want their famous meat sauce, order pasta alla ragu. Very different experience.

Italian food done right is pretty yummy and not that hard to master for a home cook. Half the success is using good ingredients. The other half is mastering some simple techniques. Pasta especially is not that hard and doing it right makes a huge difference.

LLMs can help with data extraction. Resumes are notoriously tough to parse given the randomness of the formats. It's an unsolved problem.

LLMs can also be used to run natural language queries against your candidate database (i.e. RAG).

Those are just two, plenty of other things. No one is going to read every incoming resume, ATS systems have been around a long time. I'm sure existing ATS systems have already added the term "AI-powered" to their marketing.

While AI is an overused term, there are certainly plenty of use cases to improve existing processes that are already happening.
This is the “series hybrid” or “range extender” approach and the issue is that all of the engine’s power needs to be converted into electrical power and then back into mechanical power, even when running the traction motor directly off the generator output. This causes significant losses in efficiency which more or less cancel out the gains from being able to optimise the engine for a specific constant speed.

Maybe our company is not representative, but the only engineers I know of who left Russia (about 5 people out of ~150) - I wouldn't say they were the best engineers at the company. They only left after the mobilization started (feared of being drafted) and they already were a minority group of vocal Putin critics before. So to say that the best engineers left Russia is not true, from my perspective: it looks like it better aligns with people's political views, not their expertise. Maybe it's different in Moscow, which is less conservative (we aren't Moscow-based).

It's the open part of it that's comparable to the app store in size. The closed part is in addition.

I agree there are linux-only repos that are ~1% of that size and contain little or no malware or abuse. That's true whether you measure size in updates per day or total count of packages, so 1% seems reachable without considerable malware problems.
St. Spyridon and all the saints, dude, where do you find the energy to write that much and read everything everyone else writes? I guess you use writing as a form of thinking, of course, but in any case you must really care about HN.

I had a disagreement a while ago with a user here and they said something that irked me so I asked them "is that the internet that you want?". And they seem to be taken aback by that because obviously there was some kind of internet that they wanted and that included a frank, but productive, exchange of views, and they seemed to agree their style of commenting wasn't conducive to that. So the conversation went a lot better afterwards. I have convinced myself that you, too, want a certain kind of internet -one where "curious conversation" can be had- and you're doing what you can to make HN, at least, that kind of internet. And I think it's working: the amount of flames and slagging matches on HN is near-zero and you still get to hear different opinions on everything (in fact, a few too many of those but, eh).

Which is to say, I didn't grumble for the flags to imply your moderation is one-sided, just to be clear. I was a bit surprised that the flags stood for two reasons: one, because I assumed when something gets flagged, it is brought to the attention of the moderation team and that makes it less likely that it will stay flagged if the flags are one-sided; and two, the reason I pointed out above, the scholarly credentials of the authors of the articles I posted.

Well you've answered both of those I guess. In particular:

>> It's not a repeatable process.

I understand that, but I tend to forget it. My bad.

I accept also that the ICJ case is "SNI". But the articles I posted were among the first to raise the issue in a scholarly manner, so I thought they were salient.

> each visual element comes at a cognitive premium to the user.

As someone who studied two years of cognitive sciences as part of my degree, this is not necessarily true. Lack of information can often lead to even more cognitive load as the user then has to imagine virtual scenarios, an cognitive process which is linear. Visual processing however is largely parallel, faster and less consuming, as we have evolved to live in a visually complex and noisy environment.

KiCad is by far the best. It is not as powerful as commercial tools: a lot of its high frequency design tools are simple calculators, and so a lot of manual work is required where you would simply set constraints in other packages. It has a neat design rule scripting language which you can use to ensure your requirements are met though. I’ve done a couple boards with frequencies up to the UHF band and don’t think I’d want to go any higher in KiCad. That being said, for simple boards it’s plenty powerful.

> The researchers found that the T. pallidum genomes recovered from the bones were most similar to those of the modern subspecies that usually causes bejel — a disease that is not typically found in the Americas today. The ancient genomes were less similar to those of the strains usually associated with yaws or syphilis, which are both found in South America. This implies that the current distribution of T. pallidum subspecies differs from that of the past.

TA basically describes that the story is a whole lot more complicated than a single spread in one direction. Together with the quote from a sibling comment it rather seems that a syphilis strain evolved in Europe replaced American strains.

Not to add more pessimism icing to the anxiety cake, but ... I have not seen any discussion on a particular Venn diagram of worries.

1. Climate change as a biological and human ecosystem catastrophe.

2. A potential ecosystem threat to humans from GAI. We might anticipate AI (and initially its wealthiest owners) would be less biosystem dependent, and more of a "Let's extract ALL the rare elements from the bottom of the ocean and not clean up the mess later", "Non-degradable plastic? Its still the future!", and "Fossil fuel reserves are a horrible thing to waste" kind of constituency.

It might be prudent to think about how different impending risks might have unfortunate "alignment".
