> Meanwhile, the answer is that the features are necessary because someone is willing to pay $$$ for them.

Just because someone is willing to pay for them doesn't mean they're worth doing. It could be that adding a feature makes other features harder to add or support. So sure, it might get you a win today, but it will cost you in the long run. And someone needs to be making sure the question being answered isn't "do we want a win today", it's "do we want the win today at the cost of a larger loss tomorrow" (when that's the case). And the sales team and higher managers don't see that. So it's the developer's job to make sure the questions are asked.

Sure, sometimes the answer is that yes, the feature is needed today, and it's worth the pain later caused by it. But if someone doesn't ask about the pain, it can't be considered into the decision.
I just use CoC for all LSP functionality, and everything just works with almost no issues.

Configuring the native LSP client is still too clunky to switch.
I consider the "host your own software" approach akin to being a linux user, so I am already accustomed to being in a minority. People love frictionless UX which the FOSS lifestyle really can never provide. So perhaps we can settle for a solution that meets the needs of enthusiasts, even if the masses choose "junk".

In an infinite universe of possibilities, you're right: a failing brand with a household name being acquired by a competitor is not the only possible outcome.

But it is historically far and away the most likely one.

Wildly false.
That's kinda orthogonal to the merger deal, though, no? The government could do that today, if there was the political will to do so. Of course there isn't, though, and the merger (or lack thereof) didn't change that.
I can either use the apple account on the latest iOS or on the old Mac mini but not on both. Basically when I’ve tried to log in on the iPhone it told me I need to upgrade the Mac mini or remove it if I want to use the account on my iPhone. Obviously I removed the account from Mac mini. Perhaps I can create new account specifically for Mac mini but what’s the point to have different iCloud iMac accounts for each device? I’m confident but at some point this trick will stop working as well.
> Why Bad CEOs Fear Remote Work (2021)

This is not a particularly nuanced position either.

If you suck at your job you should be afraid of working remotely and working in an office.
I deleted my Facebook in 2015 simply because I kept getting in arguments with people, and spending a not-insignificant amount of time every day fighting with people I barely knew. I figured that that was probably not healthy so I deleted it. I missed it for about a day, and then I pretty actively didn't want to ever use it again.

I'm a little burnt out entirely on social media; the closest thing to a social media that I still use is HN, and I do argue on here a bit but not nearly as much.
Show HN: I made an AI-based domain name generator with availability check

Is it enough to destroy drones?
Because they are children who can’t and haven’t consented to have their likeness posted all over social media, to be used as training data on an ever growing corpus of privacy destroying tech.

Additionally, pedophiles and creeps do actually exist.

I love that I get this question all the time, when from where I sit, the question should be to all the other parents: "Why do you insist on posting your children and their entire lives on social media?"
I wouldn't be surprised if it's ethernet after all. Ethernet over Thunderbolt achieves multiple gigabits, enough for uncompressed 1080p@60Hz.

I share the sentiment. I've long noted in situations with grids of terminal windows where focus-follows-eyes would be so much faster and present less friction than using hotkeys or focus-follows-mouse.
What's the context? Is the content intended to represent truth? Is the content intended to be creative? Can it cite its sources when there is a need to do so? Can it actually do what it's being advertised to do? If it delivers bad content and there is a need for accountability, how would that work?

My gut says that it has the potential to create a lot of junk that's going to pass as legitimate, which isn't exactly a good direction.
Some absurd number, like 70% of domestic violence, 25% of sexual assaults, 30% of regular assaults, around ~40% of murders, ~15% of robberies, and ~50% of injurious or fatal car accidents occur when people are under the influence of alcohol.

that very few are overdosing isn't the issue.
Limits on access to DeepMind's new protein program trigger backlash
Hm, interesting! I see advertisements for meat too, but I generally don't get the impression of them trying to say meat isn't unhealthy. I mean, by and large, it does seem true that pushing veganism or vegetarianism would have a positive effect on people's health, as far as I can tell. Maybe the media should actually be pushing it more. Or at least, in your country/culture.
> Those who went off Facebook responded worse to news tests, but they were also less likely to believe widespread misinformation

This means that they were just less aware generally. It doesn't look like they suddenly stopped believing the misinformation they were already exposed to, they were just prevented from being exposed to more of it.

> I was really surprised to see this effect, which was large enough to be marginally detectable,”

"marginally detectable" doesn't really inspire confidence in their results.

> The result regarding Trump favorability is very interesting. It does not reach the level pre-specified by the scientists, but because the standard of evidence they had is very high.

Lots of things seem true when you lower the standard of evidence far enough

I wouldn't doubt that getting off facebook means people will see less misinformation, and it'll probably do wonders for their mental health in general, but I'd take this entire thing with a massive grain of salt.
Yeah. The earlier, more famous posts of the blog on the article were about stuff that this book gives up on using because it just can't be contained and similar.

Then the blog goes into more and more dangerous stuff...

The silver lining is that the more dangerous a substance it, the lower the odds of it actually harming anybody, because everybody reacts like the author.
Dehydration is also the approach used by Trisolarians and tartigrades.
I’ve been using D3 on and off for quite some time. I’m just starting now with react and visx definitely looks very promising as it bridges the gap nicely. Do you find it limiting though (like you have to fight the tool) to achieve something more custom vs. using plain D3?
D3 has an unnecessarily non-intuitive API design, and I think that kills it for a lot of people.

For example, why must a data join be performed like `selection.data(array).join(element-type)` instead of something like `selection.join(element-type, array)`. Looking from a pure API-design perspective, not getting bogged down in the technical details.

Lazy eval method chaining is a natural fit for applying+branching large amounts of HTML/CSS state updates but I feel that the designers took it a bit too far with the core D3 operations.
Fully agreed.

Both are valid terms in russian language. But “potemkin x” is in the same league as “schadenfreude” in terms of usage in foreign languages, while “pokazukha” doesn’t really have any spread or presence in languages outside of russian language at all.

Only ever saw it in english in this thread and, a couple of times, in r/NCD threads (because they just love using random foreign words of the day there, like “pokazukha” or “smekalka”; to their defense, they are almost always used correctly lol).

I hate the idea that someone, especially my children, may do this with me after I die. Now I'm wondering what steps I can take to prevent that.
As a Canadian (so possibly biased here), my own hypothesis for what would happen if a sufficiently-large long-tail power vacuum emerged in the US cellular data market — either back then or today — is that one of the major Canadian carriers would try to move in, beginning by serving cities just across the border from major Canadian cities.

You could easily do cell-tower-maintenance truck-rolls from offices in Vancouver BC to towers in Seattle or Portland; from Toronto to Buffalo (or, less plausibly, to Chicago); or from Montreal to Boston. And that's only if they even bother to operate towers — if they tried today, they could just as well operate as pure MVNOs.

In fact, flagship plans on Canadian carriers today, already usually build in no-cost full-speed US roaming data access through partnership with US carriers operating on the same frequency bands. It's a very short distance from there to operating an MVNO atop the same carrier's network.

(I would say that I'm surprised they haven't tried to do this already; but until recently, Canadian carriers were addicted to the extremely-high-profit-margin rate plans they built up through oligopolist price fixing. Our current government has seemingly broken that up for now, with much cheaper plans finally appearing — so they might finally decide it's time to expand their TAM to stay profitable.)
They are also nearly as loud to my ear as a gas one. Turns out blowing air is noisy.
I have used D3 extensively to the point of building integrations for AngularJS and Angular for it. I have always found it to be exceptionally unintuitive even if it is quite powerful. It is easy to get wrong, hard to debug and hard to grok.

Not saying this is an easy problem to solve either. If I needed to generate some very specific data driven graphics it would probably still be my go to.
I wonder how many protocols/servers that are "officially registered" there are by now completely out of use (as in, truly not actively used by anyone on the planet).

Of course.

With some minor changes, you could make the same argument many, many technologies we use every day, from IPv4 to SQL to C.

Then there is the old saw -- likely apocryphal -- about how railroads are the width they are because they evolved from standards around Roman roads. Even if it is a fairy tale, the moral of that story strikes true: existing tools are built on top of old ones, because it was better to have a standard then even if we may know better now.

Those minorities get the worst of the air pollution and dangerous noise levels themselves. And you have to add the externality of everyone else being affected by the pollution before you weigh the costs and benefits. Of course landscapers shouldn't be expected to switch voluntarily when it puts them at a competitive disadvantage, it's a textbook case of externality needing regulations.

This is not.. really the right takeaway from his work. That not every true statement within a system is provable from its axioms, or that the consistency of a system is not provable within that system, does not mean that axioms are not useful. Indeed, what math is not grounded in the end by axioms?
We do the same things with decoupling capacitors. Rather than put all our store in one unit, we have multiple stores of differing size to buffer different load profiles.
I, too, am not a lawyer but I believe that FB _ought_ to be "insulated from liability for the content they publish and promote" because I don't want them to be arbiters of truth. Humans need to decide for themselves whats true and off-loading this responsibility to Meta through contrivance of law is a Black Mirror episode come to life.

Show HN: How many GitHub repositories pin their dependencies?

The Kolbalt 80V line was made by Greenworks, which makes excellent products for pros. I have the Kobalt 80V blower and it is an excellent blower (loud) and is just a rebranded 80V Greenworks. Not Harbor Freight cheapness for sure. I also have the 80V mower and trimmer and they too are just rebranded Greenworks tools. Excellent products overall.
> Otherwise, sure, they can protest in ways that inconvenience people.

It’s not just an inconvenience and I dislike this type of minimization. Breaking the law isn’t okay - we have laws as a society for reason. There are legal ways to protest and argue for change. Standing on a sidewalk and speaking (within noise limitations) is okay in most jurisdictions, provided you aren’t blocking others from passing through. But taking over shared infrastructure like roads or airports or universities is not okay. No one is entitled to abuse society just because they’re unhappy that their views aren’t heard. At least in the US, there are many other ways to convince others peacefully.
> That sounds lovely riiight up until you’re in a position where one of your reports gets very inconveniently standoffish when they’re tasked with something that has been pre-determined, has been decided for complex workflow management , political, legal, etc reasons.

There is a very big difference between

1. I expect my worker to do as their told and not question it.

and

2. I expect my worker to use their analytic ability to make sure our plans are reasonable, and let me know when they're not. But sometimes, even knowing the issues they point out, I have to tell them to move forward with it anyways, because <factors>. And the need to be able to understand that sometimes we don't make the decisions.

A developer that can't help understand the various possible choices to be made is... less useful.

Usually the ban is something like you cant use it in 500ft of a residence, which obviates that issue if cops bothered to patrol for this or if there was a reporting hotline that was well advertised.

They've improved almost every part of the language in this timeframe, I don't know what is an "evolving" language if Dart isn't it.
I mean we are talking an order of magnitude more effort and cost in exchange for noise pollution. I suspice if you told voters lawn care would quadruple in price in exchange for less (note, not eliminated) noise and air pollution that voters would not be terribly keen to approve such a solution.
> by taxing / fining people for having a second home.

I don't see the issue with this? The profits in Canadian real estate are not on the back of some new found resource. It's entirely an effective wealth redistribution from have-nots to haves.

If you have property, the vast amount of value in it is strictly from the fact that it is artificially scarce. To get into the "haves" you have to pay an artificial tax in the form of a grossly inflated price.

Forceful bend tests for large thin tablets feels like a pretty BS way to measure durability. I have an old iPad Pro (first model) that is bent, scratched, and dented from rough handling and never once being put in a case, but it still works perfectly. Is it "not durable" just because I could truly bend it if I went out of my way to do so? I could probably break my Remarkable tablet the same way if I tried. Maybe we should note that my pen is "not durable" because I could break it in half if I wanted to. Maybe my coffee mug is "not durable" because I could smash it on the ground. Maybe my Jeep is "not durable" because I could probably dent the doors if I kicked them hard enough. Maybe my 40 year old bicycle is "not durable" because if I really wanted to I could bend the frame out of shape or stomp on the wheels to put them out of round.

Durability is about lasting, about working as expected during normal use without taking special precautions. About being able to recover from minor incidents. It's not an expectation that it can be abused to extremes and survive. Some things aren't durable, certainly, but a "bend test" on a large thin sheet is hardly representative of the actual wear these tablets go through.

Maybe they sound loud when you're using them but the difference is night and day when you're a bit farther away. I haven't heard a single electric blower that's louder than the quietest gas blower. And honestly the air pollution is my bigger complaint.
My facebook experience is dramatically different than others I guess.

The only fake stuff I see are sports memes and AI images fooling boomers. Otherwise my timeline is its mostly ads, friends sharing pictures and updates from their personal life, or posts from the groups I've joined.

>They’re a lot of people willing to grind society to a halt over any perceived slight, across all ideologies…let us just unleash the craze then.

That's how society works. Except law enforcement filters out the craze below certain thresholds. Past that threshold, disruptive protests becomes referendums on changing norms. A cause with sufficient support to sustain disruptive protest in face of maximum state power corners power into political change to establish new normal where discontentment/disruption is again below threshold of law enforcement. When multple crazes compete, the more disruptive/sustaining one wins out according to local conditions, that's why tribes/interests/policies break down by geography - when some faction of crazies win the disruption game and carve out their own little bubbles. While it's nice to settle things with debate/voting/process, but such system is easily rigged, and ultimately it's the 2nd derivative expression of violence, the source of power. At some point people will chose to fight power with power.
