>You can find a meta-analysis to prove anything you want.

I'm not trying to prove anything. I just rely on the judgement of domain experts.

In this thread I cited Cochrane, The Lancet, SciAm and Science Magazine. If you have more reputable sources, please share them here.

>You'll need to come up with a physical basis for this unintuitive hypothesis if you want to be taken seriously.

It's only unintuitive if you stick to the droplet model. SARS-CoV-2 however spreads like smoke through the air, as I documented already extensively in this post:

So he would have stopped after 10% (random ratio) of his inventions. Or probably not started at all if there was a cap he knows he would reach very quickly.
> Middle click works great for me, just like the ol' Windows 3.1 days.

Two points:

- In Windows 3.1, Minesweeper had the convention of left+right clicking to uncover every non-flagged square around a number that was full.

- At that time, three-button mice were not so common; the mouse to my Windows 3.1 machine had only two buttons.

Middle click might have worked then, but it was not the primary way to get the effect.
What would it mean to NOT "support" <html> -element?

Is putting <html> on a page supposed to somehow alter the way the page is presented?
I would stay away not necessarily from specific brands, but models and even variants of models.

Case in point: factories producing my mother's washing machine model were located in three different countries. Depending on the country of origin, one important part would be either integrated with a few others or not. In the former case repairs were not worth the cost.

Only way to tell if your particular machine would be repairable was to check the country of origin.
This is probably linked more to changing social attitudes towards the medicalization of gender non-conformity. And also sexual fetishes being more accepted.
A large fraction because they get the energy almost for free. In Brazil they are using mining to compensate for the low viability in financial terms.
Software is great for what it does, unfortunately the good stuff in the commercial space is all subscription based.

FOSS is better than ever, but it hasn't kept up with commercial software on cross platformness. It's just too much boring tedious work that nobody really wants to do without being paid.

There's no FOSS alternative to Google Keep that has full parity, despite how simple it is, P2P has stagnated and been replaced with self-hosted stuff, which I have just about zero interest in.

But Jami, BitTorrent, and SyncThing are going strong, so p2p isn't quite dead yet.
good evening tesla apologist, look closer. Those are due to physical problems, not software bugs.

As most of the apologists in this thread have rightly pointed out, Tesla can fix the problem with an over-the-air update. Other manufacturers can't.

If you took my post to be claiming other cars never had physical problems, you misunderstood the absurdity.

We hear about this one because it's fucking absurd for a software bug to cause intermittent steering issues.

and tesla's aren't that old, give it 20 years and then you might have a leg to stand on comparing recall percentages. Toyota just recalled 2003/2004 corrolla's for an airbag issue. Tesla hasn't had time to find all the bullshit yet.
I think you mean side mirrors?
To sum up: let AI simplify it for you.

> everything you ask has already been covered in previous comments

No, you've covered nothing, I've pointed to flaws in your supposed solutions, but your imagination covered them. Not a single solution

> I don't enjoy repeating myself

You don't need to, you can address specific issues you keep repeatedly ignoring

Instead of retreating back to your:

> I don't know what modtap program you should use

I know, and that's the biggest problem in this conversation - you don't know a lot, yet keep imagining you do and arguing that the solution "oh must exist, just use your imagination, here is some naive kludge about window titles and mech keyboards"

> Do you have mech keyboard, use that?

So how would the mech keyboard firmware know what command and mode vim is in the middle of? Oh, wait, you have no clue, you don't use anything, so why do you keep offering all these non-solutions?

> it's obvious you're not looking for solutions

I am, that's why I asked the question, you're just not competent enough to offer any

> Nothing I would suggest would satisfy you anyway

Yes, that would require more knowledge and less arrogance on your part

> you're the one demanding it.

Quote where I demand it. That's just another one of your rhetorical fissy twists

> what _exactly_ are you missing in vim

The original comment was just one sentence, and it lists exactly what I'm missing, including exact examples. The fact that you're still clueless after so many comments is on you

> I don't even know what you're so pissed about and you refuse to mention it.

I'm pissed about aggressive ignoramuses dismissing problems and wasting time policing words and offering empty solutions because vim pinkies are fine and convenient for them.

Just to clarify to make it a bit harder for you to twist it again - I'm not pissed about the fact that there is no great keybinding support in vim GUI, great things are rare
It sounds more like OP didn’t do research on which brands and models are good/reliable.

On top of that, with scratch and dent, you do get what you pay for at some point. If an appliance is visibly damaged you don’t know what happened to it: could have been dropped, hit with a truck, returned due to problems/abuse, etc. When physical damage is involved you don’t know if it can exacerbate a design weakness, loosen some screws, whatever you might dream up.

I get it, a lot of appliances are cheap shit that aren’t “built like they used to.” But also, nobody twisted OP’s arm to buy a fridge with an LCD touch screen.

Here’s another thing: good, built-to-last-decades appliances exist and just cost a lot because that’s what they cost to produce. We can’t really blame appliance manufacturers for either the decline of American purchasing power and/or the change in consumer preferences toward shopping on price and nothing else.

You can buy a tank of a washing machine like a Speed Queen but you also get into it knowing you’re paying three or four times the cost of an equivalent shit box. And here’s the thing, if the shit box goes for 6 years without repair/replacement and the Speed Queen lasts 20, congratulations, the shit box wins on TCO. On top of that, your money can sit in your bank account or be used for something else instead of being paid up front for the appliance.

It’s the same deal with refrigerators like Sub-Zero. I talked to an appliance technician who told me all the luxury brands are less reliable, but I think the more accurate statement is that customers don’t call for repairs and blow money on labor costs for their cheap refrigerators, they just buy a new one. When you look at Sub-Zero and similar offerings, they mostly eschew gimmicks, often not even bothering with a water dispenser and going with a basic ice machine instead.

They’re not universally good, because there are shit brands in that space too (like Viking), but you’ve got a lot more quality options at that price point.

I think one solution to the situation of disposable goods might be a disposal tax that the manufacturer and customer share half and half. Or, improve warranty laws for product categories that should last longer. Nobody’s going to make a shitty fridge if you make a 10 year warranty mandatory.
it's all in the hips...
Late last year over the span of two months I got the privilege of learning how to diagnose and repair problems with my water heater (bad flame sensor), HVAC (feather/cruft blocking a tube), and oven (bottom element burned out).

While I’m glad enough to save the money, definitely not eager to learn how to fix the fridge too.
In France, we have a name for French-door fridges, it's American fridges...
> the combustion engine and hybrid cars are surprisingly reliable

The OP brings up an interesting contradiction: appliances have become less reliable but cars have become more reliable. Cars have become worse in some of the same areas as appliances, like the use of touch screens instead of physical controls, but cars have nevertheless become more mechanically reliable. What would explain this opposite trend?
One "challenge mode" (entirely self-directed) for Minesweeper was to complete the board without flagging any mines. (Once you've revealed every non-mine space, all the mines get flagged automatically and you win.)

Disabling left+right click brings us a lot closer to that mode. Maybe you could formalize it and call it an option?

A much bigger problem with right click (and left+right click) is that it's bringing up the browser context menu. That shouldn't happen.

If we're trying to be authentic to original Minesweeper, I see that you've implemented the sunglasses face that appears once you've won the game. The original also uses an ":o" face (circular mouth) when revealing a hidden square. Maybe U+1F62E?
Oil is co2 'plants' from a timespan of over houndred thousend years which we burned in 50 or 100 years.

The EV components are primarily reusable.

A gas / fuel car will ALWAYS consume oil. If yo want to switch to greener energye transport systems like plant oil, you can do that, its just not very efficient in comparision to an EV car.

And if you really really ment co2 as 'plants will consume it' no they are not able to consume that excess co2. Otherwise this co2 graph wouldn't look how it looks now: https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
Anyone in particular you recommend to follow?
For the most part I agree with this, over engineered feature creep is really just horrible stuff. I never need a fridge with wifi and I absolutely swear that that anything more than auto-off is a waste in a coffee machine.

But I think the "Other appliance anecdotes" part suggests that the author has very different requirements than I do. I grew up without a garbage disposal, but its a huge convenience to have one. Also I've had top loader washing machines that don't have easy access to the trap, gimme easy access to the trap ANY DAY and I don't care how its loaded.
Cars are highly regulated.
Or simply being a product of their culture. Americans are renowned for not knowing how to just _be_.
Because you can't avoid that in many cases.

Important topics that are read by many people get rewritten into textbooks that are very easy to read compared to the original papers, but people complain a ton about those textbooks as well so there is no way to placate people like you here, no matter how hard they try people demand them to try harder.

The "Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH" was founded as a joint venture in 1967 already, the company has been producing both brands from the start.
right, it's a software bug, not a physical problem. That's where the absurdity lies.
Thanks! Seems like you had excellent ideas, for all to end up being workable.

I did similar at about 15yo, wrote a game, exhausted myself actually completing it. A game store agreed to stock it, I just needed to supply the game on media and packaging. I looked into it... runs of 100 copies... but didn't do it. Eventually made a pity-sale of 1 (one!) copy to a hobbiest.

The lesson I took was that the business side was as important as the technical side. I noticed many startups had two guys, one in each role, since they require incompatible value-systems.

Despite all the talk of "testing hypotheses", I think many of these things about the market are simply impossible to deliberately find out - just have to keep trying and learning about it: research, discovery. It requires faith/hopefulness/optimism - unreasonable, unjustifiable. With my later business that did work, I remember imagining/visualizing customers that were assessing my product and soon would buy (plausible, because the product was good; the market just needed to realize it!).
When I bought my house I also asked to keep the old (circa early 2000) appliances. They are stupid simple, reliable, and have no extra features or wifi. Meanwhile the last place I rented had a brand new fridge that broke twice in 6 months..

This is completely delusional. What I see here is hand picked stream of sources comprised of Journalism and Media Industrial Complex networks of large conglomerates. What they do ? Spin, clickbait, lie, and propaganda machines on payroll of US elites. So you slap LLM on top of this to synthesize neutral garbage from garbage and call this job done ?

To custom garbage bubble.
It would be cool to have a tool to add this stuff to a logfile, that gets auto dumped to the next commit message.

Something like a vs code command that would add to the message for the commit I'm working on.
I think this completely misses the point. A paper presents one new idea and builds on top of many existing ideas and generally assumes that the reader is familiar with all the existing ideas. And that is completely reasonable, the purpose of a paper is to concisely present the new idea, not to be a textbook that teaches you the entire field from the ground up.

That said, conveying an idea in an easily understandable way is hard and some authors will do better or worse than others. Also papers will usually not purely present the new idea but provide some context so that the reader only needs to be familiar with the topic up to the context but the amount of context given will vary a lot between papers.

I was using ddg as default for quite a while, and it sucked. I was constantly discovering that it was missing things that I knew existed, plus it's still got all the same ad problems as google (ignore what you asked for and give you whatever someone else paid to give you).

I started seeing people mention kagi in other threads about google here.

After seeing many mentions, and all positive, and the sales pitch made sense (you are the customer instead of the product), I tried it.

That was months ago and I haven't felt any desire to cancel yet.

There was a small desire to cancel initially because their pricing tiers at the time meant I actually had to care how many queries I made, to figure out what tier I needed, which was super agrevating. But just a few weeks later they changed their plans and although my rate went up a little, I no longer have to think about queries, and I get both myself and my wife. No longer agrevated.

That was the only hint of a wish to cancel, and it no longer exists.

I'm not even using most of it's coolest features yet like lenses and personal filters or ai. Just the basic search.
Not as much as the names ExpertsExchange.com and PenIsland.com confused me!
Bought a dumb white top-freezer Whirlpool fridge 11 years ago (WRT359). No water dispenser, no ice maker, not even a light in the freezer; temperature and airflow controls were just knobs. The freezer drain line ran inside the back panel and was a PITA to clean, and the butter compartment lid squeaked so loudly that it was physically painful, but otherwise it was solid.

Had no issues until the plastic drain pan cracked while moving the fridge to redo the floors. Rather than deal with the repair (a replacement drip tray alone was $120 shipped) we sold it to an appliance flipper and put the money toward a new one. I was bummed, but when the buyer came to haul off the old one he was pleasantly surprised that it had made it a decade mostly intact.

Replaced it with a dumb white top-freezer Whirlpool fridge (WRT318). Both were about the same price, inflation adjusted, when new (~$650 from Lowe's). It was in stock and installed the next day. Only tech "upgrade" in the new fridge is a membrane button to control the fridge temperature instead of a knob.

When my wife wanted a touchscreen in the kitchen so she could queue up Spotify, I got a refurb last-gen Lenovo Duet chromebook/tablet for $120. The tablet back has a strong magnet for the cover that made it perfect for slapping onto the side of the fridge. We put a pair of used Kantos on top of the fridge and charge the tablet off its USB port; Google Keep also handles the shopping list, Google Voice on functions as our backup phone. 100% of our "smart appliance" needs done and dusted.
Wait. This is amazing. I think there are plenty of potential users. I've already found a bunch of cool stuff near me, and could see using this for any new area I go to.

The list of locations could have their thumbnail image as a low hanging fruit improvement.

Another consideration is not throwing in the towel after posting once. I've had the same link get 3 upvotes on subreddit A, and 300 on smaller subreddit B. The HN traction goes to show – it's context/timing/audience dependent. Take more shots on goal.
A lot of people regard GCs as something one should not use for low level components like file systems and databases. So that this performs so well might be the surprise for GP.

From an outside perspective, I see that most of them are proud of the European values and how they permeate their societies since integration with other countries 'till a more friendly aspect from the richer countries (Central Europe) to the less fortunate ones (Eastern Europeans).

But as soon some of the traits of those countries starts to appear in a slightly fashion, those friendly societies will fight tooth and nail to establish their values even over the European ones (e.g. social integration, education, etc). DHH made a great summary over it [1].

For instance, in some parts of Central Europe, if you're speaking a different language with your child on a train people feel entitled to ask you to stop and speak their language since you live there.

I lived in US for a while and I never have seen that.

We bought all new appliances for a kitchen remodel about 1.5 years ago, everything pretty nice, mostly LG. Even after this time I am still in love with the LG fridge, glass door, two kinds of ice, middle drawer chill or freeze. It’s pricey but I’ve never marveled over an appliance this much.

Well said! In particular; Essential complexity being addressed with accidentally complex protocols.

I agree with everything you say; however there is one important point which needs to be mentioned here; "Software Industry Velocity" is working to the detriment of "Software Quality". The whole idea of Agile/Fail-fast/First-to-Market/MVP/etc. has been distorted beyond commonsense practice. Moreover with distributed architectures having become the norm all sorts of failures have become part of the design and hence they do not have the stigma they used to have before. Add the fact that due to the software explosion in the past few decades there are now so many tools/frameworks/libraries available that the threshold to entry is considerably lower thus allowing less skilled programmers to churn out less quality software, and you have the perfect storm of everything coming together to degrade "Software Quality" in service of "Business Objectives".

The trite reasons:

1. Journals have length limits. And readers don't read long papers at all.

2. Many academics have not worked hard enough to attain excellent writing skills - they were too busy becoming excellent at their discipline.

The most important reason.
