Very easy: don't set a size and use em units in your CSS.

font-size: 1em;

Imho it's also much better to use em units for margins and paddings because this will make everything look like it belongs together, even for users that use a very large font size.
Thankfully Firefox has per-extension toggle for auto-update.
You seem to be making the assumption that in other languages calling print is a blocking function that guarantees the printing of a string. Which it isn’t.

In python print adds your string to the stdout buffer, which eventually gets written out to the console. But it not guaranteed, if you want that guarantee you need to call flush on the stdout IO handler.

Dada has taken the approach of making blocking IO operations explicit, rather than purely implicit. The result is that if you want to perform an IO operation, you need to explicitly say when you want to block, rather than allowing an elaborate stack of runtime buffers dictate what happens immediately, what happens later, and what going to block further code execution.

In short this completely exists in other languages like Python, you’ve simply not be aware of it, or aware of the nuanced was in which it fails. But if your someone whose wasted hours wrestling with Python IO system, then you’ll appreciate the explicit nature of Dada’s IO system.
That sort of stuff is easy to do with Truffle (which, ironically, lets you define a language using what they call the "truffle dsl").

Thanks for asking, and I'd agree. I'd give the same answer as the folks asking about instructor: we built this in a week and are sharing it early, this package API happens to have landed on what Marvin is doing, we're likely to change over time, especially leaning toward running our own models as part of it.
Could install another extension change detector and hope they don't both change owners at the same time.
To be fair, Apple isn't killing Epic's business by denying them to bypass the app store, or even by kicking them off the app store. Epic's doing just fine without apple.
Alan Kay won the Turing Award in 2003 for, "For pioneering many of the ideas at the root of contemporary object-oriented programming languages, leading the team that developed Smalltalk, and for fundamental contributions to personal computing." His Dynabook [1], developed during the 70s, is the predecessor of modern tablets and laptops.
If having more information leads to worse outcomes, that's fundamentally a problem with how you're responding to the information, not with having the information.
Yep exactly. I decided to look up the local flora for Los Angeles and found this nice article. It notes that Los Angeles has a Mediterranean style climate, and there certainly are plenty of local flora options to choose from:

If I was a nation state adversary, I’d put pretty high on my TODO list getting a handful of jamming satellites with a decent power supply at geostationary locations above all my adversaries.

Since a single geostationary satellite has line of sight covering about 1/3 of the planets surface, I bet if they had a decent sized reactor onboard and a well thought out transmitter/antenna array, the ROI would look pretty good.

And I’m just some random punter.
This looks neat!

It seems that the gain/loss layers do render, but it can currently take a very long time. The user doesn't see whether data is still fetching or if there are no changes/data for the displayed region. Perhaps you could reflect this in the UI somehow?

I will make sure to check it out later, once it's no longer being hugged.

I also wanted to ask for a 'go to my location' button, only to find out that it is there in the bottom right corner. Perhaps it would be useful to make it more prominent?
it would be nice in my field...a lot of computational neuroscience projects seem to default to MATLAB, so i have to keep my license active to use them, although I feel like Python is making inroads.
I don't know why you think it implies reals. Most people would assume BigDecimal
> Let's say you compute a value inside a transaction, cache it in Redis, and then the transaction fails.

That just sounds like an application bug. Nothing should be done with the query result anyway until the transaction either completes our rolls back.
While I do use the AMS for multi-color prints, it's actually more useful to me because I can keep four filaments loaded at any time and it's easier to swap filaments out of the AMS that from behind the printer. I try to avoid prints with a ton of color changes just because of how much it slows down prints and the amount of waste it generates.

If the Prusa XL wasn't so expensive for 5 toolheads I'd get that since its' much faster for filament switches and the minimal amount of waste it generates.
Maybe. But it feels like the sentence is formulated in a wrong way in this context, it should be, "Maybe US govt will help Apple to continue to screw its customers".
At first I was surprised Epic's shareholders tolerate CEO Tim Sweeney – Epic had this all wrapped up, they got a large portion of what they wanted, but Sweeney just couldn't help but keep the drama going, at risk of their business.

But then I realized that Tim Sweeney owns more than half of Epic. If he wants to risk his company for a fracas/kerfuffle, then that is between him and his minority shareholder.
It also struck me as rather cowardly for the CEO to drop this bombshell from his home office rather than flying across country to be with the team.
Your point stands in case of any browser, but I am still curious: Why use Chrome at all?
Is this an issue that's worse for Chrome than for other browsers?

The only browser extension I use is HonorLock, an exam proctoring software that I'm required to use. Its extension is for Chrome only, so I use Chrome from time to time out of the requirement to use HonorLock. If I visit the install link in Safari, it tells me to install Chrome: https://app.honorlock.com/install/extension

I'm wondering if there's something unique about Chrome's extensions that both supports HonorLock's use case and makes this submission's linked resource more helpful.

I didn't believe you so I looked it up, and this[0] is what I found

> AltStore then signs the application with your Apple ID so the app can run. You'll need to trust the developer certificate in your device settings, but when you do, any apps that you install through AltStore will work... for seven days. Apple has put several restrictions in place to make the process as difficult as possible, but the developer managed to work around those restrictions. As the clock nears closer to the end of the seven-day period, AltStore will refresh the signing key on the app so that you can get an extra seven days of usage. This can also run in the background.

> AltStore makes use of a feature Apple introduced that lets you install *up to three apps* for free using your Apple ID.

> However, AltStore relies on a computer on the same network running AltServer, so you'll need both iTunes and iCloud installed on that device. [...]

So presumably the reason why you'd do something like this is if you have expensive queries or calculations, but in that case you could use materialized views instead, depending on your data and queries obviously.

If it's to serve as a cache on an application level, memcache seems like it would be simpler and faster. While I do like Redis, I can see why you'd be careful introducing it. Redis can blur the boundaries between caching and data storage a bit, but it's just so handy.
Sometimes I feel like the articles posted here are elaborate trolls. Like they wanted to know what the purpose of a cache is and how/when to implement one, but they didn't want to do research, so they came up with the worst idea they could imagine and blogged about it, hoping someone on HN would tell them the right way (or just laughing at people trying to correct them).

It gives me anxiety how much truly awful advice is upvoted here. It feels like children playing in a sand pit, and then one of the children dumps a box of rat poison on the ground, and some kid says how rat poison is actually good for you because it contains minerals or something. So they all start quickly scarfing it down. You try to tell them rat poison is bad for them, and then several of the kids start defending rat poison, with one lecturing you for being so negative about rat poison. I guess I should just let the kids poison themselves, but it's a terrible thing to watch.
As the web becomes more of an OS this becomes increasingly absurd. Extensions are becoming like apps, and they can be synced across machines.

TM still requires trusting their extension and script authors.
Which is also wrong, especially given how most modern consoles are basically PCs. Just see what all you can do with Steam Deck in comparison to the locked down consoles.
Freestyle Libre 3 only has a plastic filament and the plastic applicator pushes it in without pain. Very different than metal lancets (stick test). I can't feel it at all when its in the back of my arm. If I were worried about sweating too much and it not sticking I would get one of the third party over-patches that create a lager adhesive area. I might do that in the Summer.

1) That's just using normal public/private key cryptography to sign messages, there's no need to bring in cryptocurrencies or NFTs

2) Public/private key cryptography would give us a way to verify that a message (or picture or whatever) from Taylor Swift is signed with Swift's private key, but it wouldn't help at all with e.g telling me that I'm responding to a real message and not a bot right now. Not to mention that it wouldn't even help much against deep fakes, since if I publish what I claim to be a secret recording of Swift, there would be no reason to expect her to have signed it with his private key.

Those two are the hallmarks of most of these "legit use cases for cryptocurrencies/NFTs" suggestions I've heard from cryptobros by the way: they're always some combination of "old technology that has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies" and "doesn't actually solve the problem".

They had the alternative of pulling their software on principle and suing, but they wanted the fight they would have by having Apple suspend and then terminate their developer accounts to bring more public opinion to their side, and they sure got the fight. As a developer enrolled in the program, it would have been hard to argue they didn’t have standing as long as what they were arguing had plausible legal merit (it did, it may not have been the winning argument in the end, but it was at least plausible at the beginning and they won on one count).

The goal wasn’t just to sue Apple, it was to shank Apple with one hand while filing suit with another and they had multiple opportunities to get their account unsuspended at the beginning of the lawsuit even while the case proceeded, before it was eventually terminated.

Gaming consoles are not really special purpose anymore.
Epic has a long history of breaking the terms of contracts they are sign.

Most companies won't deal with actors who continually do this.
Since Epic is fighting Apple, let’s overlook the fact it is charged by the FTC for using dark patterns to sell virtual costumes for billions; an interesting choice for a champion of consumer rights.
Users often don't want to perform updates because the updated version is worse in some way. That it has a security impact is unfortunate, but that's how it is.
The raw emails are linked at the bottom of the post.

Phil Schiller accuses Epic of intentionally violating its agreements and concludes "Please tell us why we should trust Epic this time." Epic founder Tim Sweeney replies that Epic "will comply" and offers to provide "any specific further assurances."

Finally, Apple's lawyers tell Epic's lawyers that Apple is terminating the account because a judgement in Epic v Apple says they can, and that Tim did't sufficiently plead his case in his reply to Phil.
> Fasting is problematic to the medical industry because it is zero cost.

No, fasting is problematic because people don't like it.

Health conscious people don't understand how much resistance the average patient has to advice about lifestyle modifications, or how difficult it is to get patients to adhere to recommended lifestyle changes.

A good example is sleep apnea and CPAP machines: In theory, a CPAP machine should provide life-changing improvements in sleep quality and daytime energy for someone with sleep apnea, yet patient adherence rates are shockingly low (even when covered by insurance). Many patients are simply annoyed by the machines and give up on it.

That's not to mention the fact that weight loss is extremely effective in many (though not all) sleep apnea situations, but it's rare that patients will actually follow through with that.

That's not what you're actually measuring though. You're just measuring instantaneous blood sugar levels.

You're hoping that your process for correlating this data with other events and trends in your life is accurate and useful. Unless you're planning on bringing a lot of documentation and other data recording to pair with this, it's not likely this single data point is going to beneficially change outcomes for you.
Looks great!

Training LLM from scratch is a super important issue that affects the pace and breadth of iteration of AI almost as much as the raw hardware improvements do. The blog is fun but somewhat shallow and not technical or very surprising if you’ve worked with clusters of GPUs in any capacity over the years. (I liked the perspective of a former googler, but I’m not sure why past colleagues would recommend Jax over pytorch for LLMs outside of Google.) I hope this newco eventually releases a more technical report about their training adventures, like the PDF file here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/tree/main/projec...

There are a lot of conversations about Apple's "monopoly" on smart phones and I always find it so interesting.

I used to use an iPhone, then switched to an android a few years ago, and I felt like there was basically full feature parity between the two of them. I'm not aware of any "killer app" or other use case that elevates one significantly over the other. They both have app stores with all the most popular apps, web browsers, nice cameras, phone calls and messages, etc. So it seems to me like there are plenty of alternatives if you don't want an iPhone that are just as good and often more affordable.

Globally Android has a larger market share than iPhone, but iPhones seem to have a "social" factor that pushes them heavily in certain demographics (particularly any intersection of wealthy, young, and US American). Something about this social factor makes it feel to many people like a complete monopoly with no alternative even though there are tons of alternative phone models made by many other companies.

For me, of course I think it would be great if iPhones were better compatible with things like RCS chat, open app stores, USB instead of proprietary chargers, etc. But I feel like that can all be worked out long term by the market instead of pushing regulation on one specific company. If any of those things bother you just get a non iOS phone, and if they're truly bad things over time more and more people will gravitate away from the company until they change. If Apple wants to make certain decisions around remaining a walled garden I think they should be able to (and there are arguments that their strategy could make their product better for certain audiences rather than worse, even if we might disagree with the take).

All because Apple didn't want to maintain subpixel antialiasing.
You might not fill the buffer. But your program might crash before the buffer is flushed. In that case having prints explicitly block until the IO is completed is very valuable, especially when debugging. Nobody wants to waste time debugging their debug code.

Well, yes, clearly I think you're confused about how this works given you keep thinking that a US court ruling is going to overrule the DMA on EU soil.

The entity that Epic will be complaining to about this will not be a US court. It will be the EC. The EC will look at the text and the intent of the DMA: to permit competing app stores. They'll also note that Apple has (arbitarily and without any technical justification) made a developer account a requirement for launching a competing app store. And finally, they'll note that Apple is terminating the developer accounts of the company most vocal about intending to launch a competing app store.

It doesn't matter what text Apple has in their contract about how they're permitted to close developer accounts for any reason they want to. It doesn't matter that they have a courting ruling from some other country. Apple chose to gatekeep app store competition on membership in the developer program. To prevent this from being used as an end-run on the DMA, the EC just an't allow Apple to terminate the licenses on a flimsy pretext. And "Tim Sweeney tweeted mean things about us" is not going to work.
Epic does have a history as an app store. They are the main competitor to Steam on Windows, famous for giving away games every week to drive traffic.
