Perhaps because Google and Apple have been acting as monopolies and made all other products undesirable? The US benefits from the EU greatly, but whenever the EU enforces laws to protect it's citizens you always hear people from the US complain about "socialist" whiners who can't compete with the US.

If the US had domestic laws that actually helped and protected it's citizenry, they'd probably look like the EU's laws.

2^1024 ≈ 10^300. There's only ≈10^80 atoms in the whole known universe. And we haven't even done the factorial.
Don't off-body carry. Or if you do, have an on-body pistol (in this situation, 10mm, ammo loaded to full pressure, pretty long barrel), and a rifle off-body.

Edit: off-body weapons can be used against you pretty easily, or you can forget them/get separated. It's a relatively uncontroversial point, except in the military, and even then my advise was eventually followed in Afghanistan.

Edit 2: oh yeah, he used 5 rounds, pretty good evidence for having a semi-automatic like a 10mm.
One of the biggest challenges of being an auto-didact is proving that you know the material. For instance, if you are a self-taught programmer without a formal degree, it's hard to prove that you know as much as someone who has a degree without a previous stellar job history. The degree is a seal of quality on a person.

It would be cool if elite institutions offered a way for people to certify themselves using their stringent criteria without having to pay, or spend the time, for the full course. They would obviously never do that as they would lose a lot of money - assuming this idea is even possible in practice.
You guys keep spamming this link but it’s completely irrelevant
When has the switch been toggled though and how can I know in each implementation?

1. Is it when I pushed the toggle, regardless of when animation finishes?
2. Is it when the animation finishes

This is necessary when flipping many toggles on one page and it needs to be done many times over. In case there's no animation, it simple and clear. In case there's animation you need the know is it case 1 or 2. If it's case 2 it will additionally slow you down as you now need to wait until all animations lengths * number of switches toggled has finished.
So is this simply a different UI? The stories and ordering seems to be exactly the same as this one.
Define a safe country. I highly doubt there are any, after what happened to Aaron Swartz.
The internet itself is often cited as the cause. "Social Medial"

Income inequality is probably more likely, with internet making it easier to see.

In the US, while economy is "good", it ignores a large % of population struggling, and if they are on Social Media, they see the differences.

Then popular uprising, and boom, revolution, dictatorship.

The people that are suffering, don't have the bandwidth to think about "not ideal" versus "terrible".
Or you could just use a checkbox
Smooth animations > janky animations, always, but that's not the issue here -- the issue is whether something that doesn't need to be animated should be animated.

I prefer programs I perceive as "snappier" -- and to me, a part of "snappiness" is choosing not to animate things unnecessarily.

The stupidity of this post keeps me coming back to see if I can get more humorous broken logic from you.

Because a rigorous operational definition of “progress” is not provided in this brief post, you assume it is missing, just to heckle someone making the uncontroversial claim that there will always be people on both sides of initiatives intended to foster progress in a given area. A hilarious thing to be triggered by.

How would “achieving an organization’s mission statement within budget” or “improving working conditions for knowledge workers by creating more accessible tools” or “using fewer labor hours on repetitive tasks” or “creating custom tools tailored to specific tasks and using less electricity”.

But maybe any of those non-technical goals can all be achieved using the same old tech, and it’s people complaining about their feelings of disconnection from ancient telecom vestiges that are really impeding progress. Maybe the it is the masses that don’t get it, and it is the select few that truly understand things that get to define progress, while insisting that the power is kept in their hands, and that the work is done in their preferred paradigms.

Or maybe I am projecting all of this onto you to return the favor lol

It’s the rushed post process. You can go on r/colourists and ask. You might be able to find some old posts from people who worked on these things explaining it.

Are you conflating “hubris” with “reasoning”? Or are you saying that appealing to authority is a good thing?

Is any evaluation of any field you’re not an expert in hubris? Or is it possible to use basic logic to identify contradictions in the assertions made by experts outside your field?
I tried to rub shoulders with this topics, mainly for application in software observability, yet I still fail to see it's relevance compared to advanced methods.
> I hold an unpopular stance: code comments are as important as the code itself.

It's unpopular because it is astonishingly wrong. Customer: "It does not work". Me: "The comments are correct, the code is not, let's call it a 50/50".

> code comments are critical to code readability and maintainability

Fine, but we are on another level: once the code is right, maintainability becomes important. As long as the code is wrong, fix it and just pray that your code survives long enough for another soul to get a look at it!
I've had luck finding pi-hole blocklists on github for various products, if it's something quite common like a branded smart TV someone will have already done the hard work of figuring out what IP's they're trying to dial home to.

The Epic case is a textbook example as to why the DMA is needed.

Especially since Apple has given one of the easiest examples of gatekeeper abuse just by doing this; I kinda expected them to not be this boneheaded but they're really just going "we personally don't trust you, so piss off" because of the US lawsuit. Like, that doesn't fly anymore in the EU. Legally speaking, Apple has reached the size where regulators are recognizing that their gatekeeping has the potential to ruin the EUs free market and here we see that in action.

And mind - I don't like Epic Games in the slightest. They still shouldn't be gatekept from iOS because Apple personally dislikes them over the lawsuits.

Easy, we only bought what we actually needed to develop, and stayed with that until there was an actual reason to buy something else.

It certainly made it easier not to worry about a new framework or programming language every single month.

At least for those that wanted to stay legal, there were also tons of ways to get pirated software if one wanted to, including openly selling it on street bazaars.

I admit it cannot be scientific and cultures differ a lot. In the absence of science, all I've got is that I end up getting told a lot of things and complained to a lot but those people totally shut up in meetings and it's left to me sometimes to bring up those ideas if I think they have to be voiced.

When those suggestions don't fit with the group-think I take the dismissive rejections or even mockery and the originators of the idea don't open their mouths. On the incredibly rare occasions that they do get some traction I immediately say - actually that's X's idea.

So IMO it regularly takes confidence to speak out and be heard. I've worked in South Africa (only as a student on some projects but it counts), Zimbabwe, UK, Germany and the US. Companies were everything from Finnish to Japanese to American to British and people were from all over the world - Britain, India, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Zimbabwe and South Africa and the US.

In some places like Zim there's a culture of respect to older people and things are more formal - so you are taking a big risk by disagreeing or expressing an opinion which might turn out not to be popular.

Americans do tend to get heard and listened to because they put themselves forward. IMO you can learn from them or be beaten by them in that respect because they will not learn to be meek.

I think you're saying that correcting a bias isn't itself applying bias.

I think the poster to which you're responding is saying there wasn't any visible evidence of bias in the original behaviour.

From one point of view, you're correcting a bias (in this case, one you suspect might exist), and you believe that isn't a bias.

From another point of view, you're introducing a new bias (that definitely exists) to something that was previously (presumably) agnostic and neutral, by saying that a correction should only be applied when the question-asker meets certain criteria.

Both points of view are legitimate.

PERSONALLY I'd rather we not bring the "have you thought about how this might be discriminatory" bits into the converation unless there's at least some vague reason to think that it was, rather than presuming it's always discrimination when the genders and/or sexes and/or races line up a certain way. But that's because I think it's more important to debate the ideas in their pure form than to correct every instance of discrimination, and that's an arbitrary value judgement I made.

Why is it better to use a dropdown? A drop down doesn't show me all of the options until I click on it; so I have to perform an action to see what my options are, rather than having them presented in front of me.

They're fine if there's going to be loads of options such as country name, but if its left handed or right handed, I just want to see a toggle/radio button that lets me switch and makes it clear which state its currently in.

Ok. So, let's try again...

First, let's draw some data and show that the sample mean is not roughly close to the sample median:

> data <- asinh(exp(rnorm(30)))

> mean(data)

[1] 1.227973

> median(data)

[1] 1.059046

> sum(as.numeric(data > mean(data)))/length(data)

[1] 0.4

Now you can take the dataset and make a control chart with it:

> cat(paste0(data,collapse=","))

0.397291781860484,1.01791591678607,2.29127398581896,0.317548192016798,0.825779972770721,0.978034869623426,1.45689922574378,0.722379000865545,2.68231132467641,0.786713029297768,1.20492120955161,1.7082762081373,0.632259821911453,0.346590855307735,2.48238023470879,0.0989934260605276,1.61233320755675,0.906918026775941,1.73743152912329,1.21715325934946,2.78776306537914,0.296838101056961,2.29303061152949,2.65277514999252,0.88486942904647,0.0860402641329708,1.255123685342,0.526097043743278,1.53307173756969,1.10017654868633

Well I guess it degrades to normal - go out of the train and wait for next train to come.

The remarkable thing is when working as intended it removes the “wait” bit speeding things considerably.

>Beauty is often worth a little extra time. I'd rather walk a beautiful trail than a paved sidewalk beside 6 lanes of fast traffic

Beauty can be expressed with the toggle's design, with the window decoration, with the colors, with the wallpaper, choice of font, and so on.

No need to be expressed with an animation.

If your car did a little "song and dance" everytime you started it up that you had to wait to be able to drive it off, it would get annoying really fast.
It looks like this page is further along indeed. First mistake I see on this page is that Home Assistant is called "Core" which is just the name of the core repo.

The thing both projects do that I don't think is useful is state that the project is open source in each description and push out the actual description of what the project does.

In general if I'm looking for open source alternatives I'm mostly interested in projects that are well maintained and are big enough to stay that way. If there is a website that is able to somewhat make this distinction it can have real value.
I don't understand how this is relevant? It's not generated from 4 bytes of data or code, surely the name of the piece is just a joke about byte = bite?
If browser have standard native shortcuts that can clash with access keys (and lets web-pages' HTML access keys take the priority), then there is something strange going on in the browser.

(Yes, I know, there really is something strange going on some browsers, cough, Chrome, cough.)

But the whole point of this concept is that entire key palette in certain modifier key combination has to be left unclaimed by the browser. As simple as that.

Firefox on Windows uses Alt + [letter] for its native shortcuts, and leaves Alt + Shift + [letter] in scope of focused content page exclusively for access keys.

Chrome (and Edge) for some wicked reason let both its own and HTML web contents' access keys share the sole Alt + [letter], but in case of conflict let you still use Alt + Shift + [letter] for access key, but then defines some own commands bound to Alt + Shift + [letter]. So the result is, as we may confirm in the OP's page, that:

- for accesskey="e" in Chrome we MUST use Alt + Shift + E, since Alt + E opens the main menu,
- for accesskey="i" in Chrome we must NOT use Alt + Shift + I, since it opens some "Send Feedback to <browser vendor>" popup.

This is indeed laughably unfortunate, but not the flaw of the standard mechanism itself, so web-page authors are not to be blamed for it.

Situation around keyboard shortcuts done with JavaScript is completely different, and several orders of magnitude wilder topic with even more unresolved peculiarities. And I think these are those "hijacks" you are referring to.
Show HN: I made a tool to transform Newsletters into Podcasts
I'm excited to share Podletter, a project born from my struggle to keep up with my overflowing inbox of newsletters. The idea? To transform this content into audio, making it accessible on the go.

What sets Podletter apart is its simplicity. With just a few clicks, users can listen to their favorite newsletters as podcasts, making it easier than ever to stay informed, learn, or just be entertained without the need to stare at a screen.

You can try it out directly on Podletter.io

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

A lot of the software on this list is "freemium" open source. For example Strapi and SuperTokens are open source. But require a paid plan/license when growing the application to a bigger scale, because you are going to need their paid features at some point.

Just like all gamblers

Generally gamblers only talk with excitement about the near misses and if only's. The horse that lost a by a nose that could have netted them £10,000 would be regurgitated for weeks. yet never a mention of the low return wins that may occassionally crop up. Gambling is really only about the excitement of losing and near misses.

Though it is quite the opposite for bitcoin gamblers:

A lot more fantasy afoot. They tend to only talk of the wins. I bought £100 of bitcoin last year and its now worth £300, week in, week out. No mention of the times bitcoin crashed and they suddenly only had a mere £40 in their bitcoin wallet.

As soon as Bitcoin crashes again, which it will, after the avarice drove them to invested when the price was tooo high, ooops, the constant blabbering on about all the money they are going to make will stop. Until of course bitcoin rises again.

I usually only here this from Mr hard working, working class man who is struggling anyway because of his proorly paid job.

People with money do not talk about bitcoin as much, in fact people with money do not talk about money at all..

Oh the never ending waves of fantasy deep behind those staring, unblinking eyes.

You can plug all that stuff into iPhone and Android phones too, but very few people are excited about it. Samsung even made a laptop shaped accessory for their phones, I can’t find it but this company is making something similar: https://nexdock.com/samsung-dex-laptop/

I don’t think the power rangers transforming phone product is a good product for most people. If you asked me to choose between a regular M3 MacBook Pro and a full DeX phone based docking setup built around a top-line smartphone, I’m going to pick the MacBook’s 4x more RAM, 3x bigger CPU, 6x bigger GPU, and much better thermal dissipation. Why settle for a much less powerful device that is fiddly and annoying to “set up” for real work?

I also have a Steam Deck and the only thing I’ve ever plugged it into is a power adapter. If I was gonna plug it into a monitor, I’d use my vastly more powerful desktop PC instead.

> concurrency has the advantage that you can do away with a lot of complex and nuanced synchronism mechanisms, by virtue of the fact you’re not actually sharing memory between parallel lines of computation.

That's the bit I reject. In practice you are saying that there are no reentrancy concerns between preemption points (async calls), and marking those points explicitly in code help avoid bugs.

I claim that:

a) there can be are reentrancy issues even in regions only performing sync calls (due to invoking callbacks or recursively reentering the even loop)

b) if we value explicit markers for reentrancy, we should be instead explicitly marking reentrancy-unsafe regions with atomic blocks instead of relying on the implicit indirect protection of within-async regions.

With async you still have to think about synchronization, but instead of being explicit and self-documenting in code with synchronized objects and critical sections, you have to rely on the implicit synchronization properties. And if you write code that rely on it, how do you protect against that code breaking when someone (including ourselves) shuffles some async calls around in three months?

In fact something like rust, thanks to lifetimes and mutable-xor-shared, has much better tools to prevent accidental mutation.

Don't get me started on python, asyncio is terrible in its own unique ways (the structured concurrency in trio and similar seems much saner, but I have yet to use).

[Sorry for continuing this argument, as you can tell I have quite strong opinions on it; feel free to ignore me if you are not interested]
Can you back up this opinion with any kind of coherent argument? Because the problem is "people can't see the screen" so I feel like displaying something on the screen might not solve it. By contrast, you would definitely know if the phone buzzed when you clicked a button. Anyone who's ever used one of the iPhones with fake home buttons on them can attest to this fact.
