They're dreadful because people are coming from opposite places and are unwilling to be convinced otherwise, so the conversations are repetitive and dull, with little new information. We really don't need to hear for the 100th time how Covid was or was not a lab leak when there's no new real evidence one way or the other, but every time Covid comes up, there's gonna be some unresolvable argument in the comments that's just dreadful and not worthy of this site's time. Hence the flag. With a infinitely more heavy handed moderation team (or LLM) to judge comments before they got posted, we might be able to have good discussions on such topics, but until then, you can turn on show dead in your profile to see what kind of low-quality comments certain topics attract.

Your example looks indeed very nice! But what I'm doing is entirely different. Each component is formed of the same Block component. They're not separate but rather all part of the same ListView. Each block can be dragged and dropped anywhere. The Kanban tasks support drag and drop. The entire editor support from scratch Undo/Redo, copy/paste, Markdown formatting (upon changing cursor position), multi-block selection and edit (quite a difficult problem, especially with rendered HTML, and Markdown/Plaintext underlying), and much, much more. All of that while loading War and Peace under 0.78 seconds on a 2016 Macbook Air.

Still, Slint looks very promising! I might even convert to it in the future when it matures.

None of the is on-topic for HN.

> A lot of care goes into their disposal or recycle.

Are you aware of the usage of PFAS in textiles, food packaging, and waterproof-treated goods? I'm a little confused what you mean by care goes into their disposal. PFAS treatments on textiles for example are disposed of by pouring down a washing machine drain into municipal sewers and from there into natural waterways.

Because of the "forever", small amounts add up, perpetually and over time could become not-small amounts.

Probably the professionals who look after children.

However, it is the outsourcing of looking after children to professionals that causes the problem in the first place.

Otherwise people would learn from their "village" as the author puts it from when they were kids themselves.

You also learn to parent if you spend lots of time with your children. I worked from home from when my oldest was about an year old and it made a huge difference. I admit I cannot reconcile this with the increased amount of time the article says parents spend on caring for children, but I wonder exactly what those numbers are recording as they are hard to reconcile with the article it ultimately links to which comments on the shift from male breadwinner plus housewife households of the past..

The "steeper expectations" are the other big problem. You do a better job if you relax and enjoy it.

I do, and I'm not a security researcher (not really).

If nothing else, it's fun to see who pokes you, even if I don't actually follow up on it.
I don't. I'd like to know however! Do tell!
Yeah, people on HN.

I'm tutoring a friend's homeschool kids (who live in the US, I'm in Central America) in Spanish and the mom couldn't set up Payoneer so yesterday she asked if I'd accept bitcoin.

I'm an Urbiter and everyone in that scene is all about crypto.

I did a horribly ugly thing and soldered wires to the NMI and ground pins at the CPU, and ran them out to a switch, and used that with Turbo Debugger running on the second (MDA) monitor. Worked a treat.
What makes it even worse is that so much of this money is made by keeping people addicted and messing up the mental health of teenagers.

It's the dirtiest kind of money.
Such a great exploit because it doesn’t require you to know about arcane stuff like buffer overflows. Even a casual user could follow the process. So much of security seems to be just minimizing the attack surface so you have less to think about. Why does someone need to be able to print a tooltip in the sign in dialog? It’s absurd. Once you involve printing, you are letting in all kinds of third party stuff that isn’t secure at all. Even if you want to permit printing of tooltips or help in general, they should have had a “secure context” where such features are disabled. Similar stuff in PDFs too, where 99% of the use of random features in PDFs like 3D models or scripting was for security exploits. Keep it simple by default and avoid that stuff!
Kill on the Cover Letter, but Not Like That
Consider that these $42B didn't just vanish into thin air. A lot of it went to wages, which people used to buy homes, food and other goods, stimulating other parts of the economy.

Although I do agree with your general sentiment.
Good points, especially about the extremely hypothetical nature of these issues, though I'm not suggesting better technology to the exclusion of logistics.

As a counterpoint, NATOs strategy in the Cold War was to 'offset' superior Soviet numbers by having better technology - first by having more nuclear weapons, then by using the superior technology of precision munitions and the associated global navigation and sensor network (so the munitions can track their own position and locate their targets) as demonstrated in the Gulf War.

But by far the most important point:

> With the obvious caveat that if there ever actually is a shooting war with China on one side and the US on the other then the whole world is in serious trouble and there are no good options:

I think about that, and I never heard it said (so thanks): At the end of WWII, the leaders of the combatants thought that future large-scale war must be prevented because the improving technology would wipe out civilization, thus they created the UN, (proto-)EU, etc. That was 80 years ago.

A war with China may very well include, for example, missiles hitting San Francisco, LA, SD, Seattle. Even if the US won, it would lose badly.
I remember being blown away by this show. It’s a rare gem with one of the best executed love stories between Crichton and Aeryn that heightened the stakes as the series progressed. I hope other writer/producer types are paying attention and taking notes.

As a near 40 year old with absolutely tons of friends and family with children divorced or potentially not divorced by now, who never ever wants to have one of his own, it absolutely blows my mind how little effort goes into preparing parents for a child.

I cannot believe I have friends that had kids in their early 20s or teens. Going to grab a beer with my 38yo friend and he's got a 16 yo kid.. wild.

The CCENT and CCNA certification books have chapters dedicated to IPv6 and I think they do a good job talking about it.

edit: Some little tips about it.

* The smallest subnet should be /64. Anyone making a smaller subnet than that is doing it wrong (looking at you, every ISP that assigns me an address)

* Subnets should be created in four-bit chunks. You should always make /64, /60, /56, etc. for readability. That's because 4 bits make up one hex character in the address.

* If you want to have private (non-internet-routable) IPv6 space, create a ULA. https://www.unique-local-ipv6.com/ Imagine never having to worry about address overlap with VPNs or routing between two internal networks.
Looks there's a light that glows when it's recording alerting folks. Is there a similar mechanism on the AVP?
Yeah, and why don't we teach people how to vote for the correct candidate either? I think we need some sort of big, faceless institution to tell us how to live and interact with our kids, that would probably be the safest. /s
Writing small, unfinished projects is great ! At least I think so. It's what keeps me passionate. It's a way to learn new things (language, framework, etc...).

I don't like much the phrasing "I give up". How about "I had fun, learned while enjoying it, and now move on to my next unfinished project". Great article though !
> "Note: Meta began reporting Reality Labs as its own segment in Q4 2020."

RL has been burning money for a few years and similar rates, and this just happens to be the highest one at the moment. Q4 seems to always stand out as the largest loss each year. (According to the "Quarterly losses for Meta's Reality Labs" chart in the article).

Exactly, the front page is heavily moderated. Almost every day you'll see posts with 50+ upvotes falling of the front page within an hour or two when some article about LISP with < 10 upvotes will remain here for a whole day.

It's disingenuous to blame it on the users when there are clearly other "forces" at play here.

> Americans have cherished a very liberal/free definition of free speech rights.

Absolutely. That wasn't what I was questioning. What I'm questioning is the proposition that wishing death on people is a "cherished American tradition". I don't think it is.

The American tradition is to be very permissive about how far speech can go before it becomes illegal. That's a very different thing.
Metas buybacks are nothing new. The dividend pales in comparison to the buybacks. The dividend is $5 billion a year which is the amount theyve been buying back every quarter recently.
Schools are already notoriously failing children and their individual needs. Parenting decided by committee that needs to be comparable to retain budgets. Oh my word, sounds like hell.
You must have misunderstood, because those are excellent reasons to get a pet first. If you can't afford the time, attention, and money to raise a dog then how could you expect to raise a human child?
If that’s true of raising a pet, than that person probably shouldn’t try raising a child.
Unless this comes with some killer apps and a selection that rivals the meta quest, I don't see many people getting this.
I'm honestly not sure if that's a bad thing. To an extent, it seems like reddit's "sort by controversial". If you're looking for a flamewar, here you go.

It's interesting to see the comments sometimes, but since part of the reason these things get removed is because of the flamewar detector, I feel like I can't be that surprised or edified when I open the bag labeled "manure" to find it is full of shit.
You're kinda contradicting yourself there.

Kerouac used a typewriter, which is about as minimal as it gets before you drop down to pen and paper. Something like Word is full of distractions: fonts, section headings, various formatting options, etc.

If you really want to get into the flow of writing, do it like Kerouac: plain text editor that wraps words at whatever width is reasonable to you.

After you're done, then copy it into a word processor and apply your formatting rules. Or just stick with the plain text editor and use anything from markdown to tex.

Ultimately, though, use what you're most comfortable with! That's going to be different, sometimes, for different people. The idea that it's a "fact" that everyone should be writing in any particular way using any particular software is just nonsense.
I honestly thought there was a scenario where they accept _both_ prototypes as winners.

They're both quite good at different missions.
Hilariously specific person you invented there, but I'd not sneer at someone offering me a glass of what appears to be a Balvenie that itself is old enough to drink. I happen to have a 12 year old version of that bottle but it wasn't even expensive enough to fuss over.
Or could've been used to keep employees instead of laying them off and move them to work in other areas of the business and retrain.

No, I think people are missing the wood for the trees here.

The fact that these visas are becoming available means that governments are wising up to the fact that people have been working remotely on tourist visas and want in on it. They want to be able to charge for it, or set a limit on who can do it, or tax it.

Now that these visas exist, and immigration officers know that, it’s only obvious that they’ll start to ask ‘tourists’ if they plan on working remotely or not. You can lie all you want, but if they find evidence (two laptops, notebooks, equipment) then good luck.

What happened in the past is just that.
Yeh I've seen some of those as SPAs... ouch

Honestly, I'd rather not be presented with an empty grid of spinners tbh

I think you can get something useful on first render and then dynamically update from there (either with polling, SSE or WebSockets) all without the added complexity of an SPA

This is the stand I bought, though:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/B07WRWFK33

Worth every penny -- it's very sturdy (pain to mount, must be perfectly level, but anything this big is challenging), and extremely adjustable (including stiffness at each of the positioning points which took a little while to get right -- you want to easily move the display but not so easily that gravity starts walking it around the room).
I've been imagining making song/album cards for a long time now! Just like that! Very nice.

How do you keep user flags from being used as a way to squash articles on a particular topic before they have had the chance to be exposed to the wider HN community?

Meaning if someone were to theoretically get a real time feed of HN submissions, and flagged articles that they didn't want seen as well as messaging a group of friends to do the same thing. Do you have protections for this type of behavior that would prevent this person from having undue influence on what can and cannot have a chance at being seen by others?
> The firestorm is entirely because Tan is rich and Asian.

I don't think the firestorm is because of either of those things. I think it's mostly because Tan is a powerful figure in the SV tech scene.
I live in a country much closer to the US sphere of influence, and even here the news is reporting that Americans are claiming Taylor Swift will use witchcraft to influence the 2024 election. My parents always told me "when you read news about the Old Country, remember it's not as bad as it sounds", so I have to assume that anyone looking to run an "Americans Do Weird Things" story (much like US news orgs used to run Japanese Do Weird Things stories back in the day) doesn't have to look far to find sources.
You misunderstand. I want the government to prevent you from driving a car that is more likely to kill me in an accident. We are enemies here.

Not natural enemies, of course, because banning large cars makes you safer, even if you drive a large car, since otherwise everyone must drive large cars for safety, and two large cars colliding is more dangerous.
My wife and I took a parenting class before our first was born. I was surprised by how many people in the class already had at least one child and also how many people were there because of a court order.

That said, the class was small. Maybe 10 people in all. For me, it was a worthwhile class.
Given how everyone’s now being ham-fisted into RTO, I actually think this (private) money should’ve been spent earlier.

Solve the management boogie man of remote collaboration, unlock Billions in value by making remote workforces more collaborative.

As I've said in other threads https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38847750#38862450, I highly recommend writing an ELF by hand at least once.

Lots of other great discussion in various threads on that other HN post.
UK 5G speeds among slowest in Europe
I assume most of losses come from headsets R&D, and subjectively i would bet on them too, the progress are amazing, a today 350$ headset have better quality than 5 year ago 1500-2k ones. Honnestly I thinks VR/AR is becoming really amazing for games, if a quest 3 quality headset is available for less than 400$ in a year of two i'm expecting a massive adoption in a few years.

There is currently a bit of content problem : no enough gamer with headsets to attract spendings so no enough games to attracts gamers, so not enough gamers with headsets ...

But I went again on vr game development some months ago and the technical progress are really sweet and major downside are being removed.

How does that work? If it were simply "oil can be turned into fuel or turned into plastic", then lowered demand should lower the price. Is it that turning oil into fuel produces plastic (or plastic precursors) as a byproduct?
That's not the best conclusion. How many families are pet owners? It's not a hard requirement and it doesn't make sense for it to be a hard requirement.
SoftICE brings back memories... although now that you're using Bochs, you can just use Bochs' internal debugger to do the same thing. Heck you can connect the Bochs debugger to IDA Pro: https://hex-rays.com/products/ida/support/idadoc/1329.shtml.

I've used the Bochs debugger many times to debug DOS apps and to even do things like create an unencrypted forensic image of a full-disk encrypted drive (obviously assuming you have the encryption key, no magic there).

This isn't universally true. They've primarily expanded by acquiring other companies, and a few regions do have IPv6. Lansing, Michigan in particular which was previously Lightspeed.

That being said, the CGNAT thing is just silly in 2023 - give us IPv6.
Human living conditions are well suited to supporting children (human living conditions are designed for humans after all) – other animals like dogs, not so much.

Financial viability is improved with children (they start to contribute once you get past the first few years) – other animals like dogs, not so much.

Existing time and attention focuses can much more easily integrate children (like dining out? Bring your children!) – other animals like dogs, not so much.
It’s so bad, and egregiously dishonest at times, that I half suspect it’s actually a campaign to earn a red vote out of spite.
The auto industry is a competing use of oil, isn’t it? So halving demand is more likely to reduce prices.

Car industry obviously helped to build the infrastructure but I think now that it’s there, fair chance there’s going to be a lot of oil supply looking for a use. Infrastructure won’t disappear overnight.
Correct. I am convinced that the best way to speed up IPv6 adoption is to provide IPv6-only networking but with NAT64.

Historical evidence is on this: cell phone ISPs have started doing this a long time ago and look at how high the IPv6 adoption is on mobile.

Also, an IPv6-only network removes the happy eyeballs algorithm so any routing issues on the IPv6 internet won't be papered over by the speed of the IPv4 internet, so there's more incentive to fix that.

(If you are interested in doing this at home, the most up-to-date documentation is a presentation from RIPE https://ripe87.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/8-I... that covers NAT64/DNS64/DHCP108/PREF64).

Of course everything I said above is conditioned on speeding up IPv6 adoption as a goal. Unfortunately for many, IPv6 adoption is not a goal at all, so nothing I said above applies to them.

Some of those plastics would be well-replaced by metals. How many plastic spatulas fill landfills? An adult probably goes through a dozen or more in their lifetimes if they're careful with them, and far more if they burn them leaving them in pans.

A single stainless steel one has to be better, unless I'm just off on the math.

We make so many things that, even if they're not disposable they are "disposable" when they do not have to be.

Finding a good without plastic in it is actually one of my criteria for kitchenware. Glass, metal, wood... nothing else should touch food if I can help it (some exceptions when truly warranted, silicone can be useful).
