Some weeks ago, coincidentally, I took an old drugstore brand disposable camera I found lying around in my flat for a weekend trip. The AA battery was corroded and dead, but otherwise the camera worked just fine. The trip was actually a bachelor party, so in the end I gave the camera to the groom and he got it developed. Mostly average shots, along with a few very nice highlights. Would do again.
Subways produce a ton of particulate too. Stations are always dusty and transit operators don’t seem to care about investing in better ventilation for the platform.

A good read; it captures a lot of the key points. I'd like to mention consistency -- especially for complex UIs. An expert user who has taken the time to learn the ins and outs of menus and keyboard shortcuts will RESENT you for making what seem like (and often are) superfluous changes to their workflows.
It's true that React almost certainly wouldn't be responsible for what sounds like a blatant layout bug on a narrow smartphone viewport. React has almost no opinions on things like web page layout or touch interactions. I have to imagine the commenter invoked "React" as a sort of scapegoat for the prevalence of low-quality web pages.

<< It doesn't matter who you think "should" be living there, Israelis actually are.

Hmm, are you suggesting that the moment Palestinian settler is able to eke out a piece of land he/she is able to defend from Israel, it is automatically acceptable ( in a might is right kind of way )? Is this really an argument we should be putting forward? Does it not clash with your previous statements somewhat?

<< it's just amazing to me that you don't understand it's symmetric.

Do I really though? Is it possible you are trying to force me into a particular convenient label? It makes no practical difference, but I would like you to note that most of the people here are used to 'internet argumentation tactics'.

https://slions.net/threads/deciphering-gw-basic-basica-prote...

I remember seeing some BASIC games that could not be listed. Found that very frustrating as a kid trying to learn BASIC. Maybe now I can finally get to see something of how those games were made, assuming that at least some games were only protected in this way.

Just opening the file in PC-BASIC seems to be the easiest solution:
"PC-BASIC can read and write Protected files created by GW-BASIC. Unlike GW-BASIC, however, it does not disable accessing the unencrypted contents of the file. The encryption used by GW-BASIC has been broken many decades ago, so Protected mode offered little protection anyway; disallowing access is a small security hazard as it would allow someone to send you a program that you cannotinspect before running it."

Yea maybe our definitions are just different, because I wouldn't call HN a social media site. It's a content aggregator to me, with some social features, like Reddit or Slashdot.

Look at Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, I believe there is a desire for a less algorithmic approach on those sites, hence all the uproar about the algorithms and shadow banning. Reverse chronological ordering from people you follow was the standard before, and a feature before revenue mattered as much. You curated your own feed by following people, not by a black box

I really don't understand the Windows 11 hysteria. As a long time Windows user, I did wait for Windows 11 to support the old taskbar style before upgrading, but now that it does... It's basically Windows 10 with a few new useful bells and whistles and a bunch of things that I don't care about but are trivially turned off. I'm yet to see the huge problems people talk about after using it daily for months - for me, at least, it's just a faster Windows 10 with a very slightly different look and feel.
Yeah, but it's beautiful. I guess that's the main goal of a page like this.

IMO, that's a huge red flag. If the sales information puts beauty before functionality, that's an insurmountably amount of contempt they are showing for you before you even become a customer.

On an investment company it's even worse, because contempt is less likely than they just wanting to actively select dumb customers. That's a very strong indication they'll try to steal my money (I have no idea what this one site is tough, it's not my opinion on them, it's what their design choice makes me think).

But hey, it's very beautiful!
>he kind of developer who writes code quickly may also be the kind of developer who jumps to conclusions too quickly

I'm the opposite of this, but when I wanted a really high paying job, I just practiced a bunch to code quickly. That was actually my biggest hurdle, sometimes I'd understand the problem but I couldn't bang out actual working code fast enough.

Other times I'd get so nervous that I wouldn't have time to code that I'd stumble on the thinking part. Once I deliberately practiced for speed, I was much calmer in interviews.

And now I have a really high paying job. shrug. Now, it's not the best at finding outright geniuses, but making people solve slightly harder than trivial coding questions is a pretty consistent filter for people who can't code.

If you're good at coding and you can't do it, then it's just a matter of practicing a bit.

> the faction that is in power allies with one(s) that is so far away from power as to never become a credible threat to it, in order to put the squeeze on a third faction that is actually a serious contender for the position of the first.

Makes sense. I’m sure it happens. However, it’s an advanced construct and just one out of several incentives in a complex system, so I wouldn’t necessarily blanket attribute it to explain things.

That said I also think you’re right that the USG does seem less imperialistically engaged with tech than say oil. That could have other explanations, such as less cozy relationships around subsidies and historical geopolitical interest. I mean, I think it’s entirely possible that there’s enough inertia in these systems to explain why one looks different than another. It doesn’t have to be a delicately played 4D chess by a bunch of boomers who don’t even know what encryption is. Don’t attribute to malice yadda yadda.

In either case, from my European perspective, I’m not looking so much what the end goals are for the Americans, but rather how the countries in Europe can stand up to geopolitical winds, ie protect their interests. And in my lifetime, there’s a noticeable increase in alignment and strength, at the expense of a (imo) much less harmful set of compromises between individual countries.

It all depends on what are the hot issues of the day. When it’s pollution in the Baltic Sea, or the Greeks treating the euro-wallet as a gift card, then we were all like pissy siblings. But now when the issues are war (Russia), economic hollowing (China) or having big brother deciding what’s best for you (US - although this is old), it’s better to set the differences aside, and band together.
You know, like they already did previously? It is utterly insane to me how onshape even consider luring folks in again after absolutely ruin their userbase and community.

> I don't think TikTok or the US would find it acceptable. It is too heavy handed

It's less heavy handed than banning outright, though.

> The suggestion doesn't restrict how much anti-US propaganda gets pushed.

Good point. Let me refine my suggestion so as to require that TikTok prohibit all anti-US content: sophisticated AI algorithms would be put in place to ensure that content that doesn't align with US interests is not allowed. This will make the suggestion even more heavy-handed, but note that, once again, it's still less heavy-handed than banning outright.
"Empire AI"? Now we're just putting "AI" after geographic labels now? Like how NYC tried to be "Silicon Alley" and Northern VA tried to be "Silicon Dominion".

I take issue with this experiment's use of the term "shadowbanning". The simulation they describe tested the effects of showing a tweet to others based on the viewers' preferences.

> the network might choose to show the content of a moderate user to a relatively right-leaning connection ... but block that same content from the timeline of a left-leaning connection

That's not shadowbanning because the tweet is still being shown to some people. That's normal algorithmic sorting with down ranking. A true shadowban would result in a tweet not being shown to anybody. What they describe is more like de-listing from the global timeline but still being shown to followers. Now you're just talking about search bubbles.

What's strange is they describe this as "neutral".

> At first blush, the banning appears to impact every user more or less equally.

How is that equal? What the viewer sees depends on their cohort. It's the same kind of manipulation that we've known about for years. The unique issue with a shadowban is how it affects the creator. Specifically a shadowban is intended to counteract ban evasion using multiple accounts. If you're going to make a conclusion about whether or not shadowbanning should be allowed it should be done by comparing silent versus explicit bans.

Looks like the author draws a lot from Edward Tufte's The Visual Display of Quantitative Information - I would recommend it to anyone interested in design, it's a very interesting read with a lot of neat visuals. Some complain that it might be a bit heavy on map related examples, but I say that's no problem since maps have pretty much the same goals as effective UX, that being organizing and presenting information to the user accessibly.

> As I assume it's possible to have scalable interfaces in React

React has almost no opinions on web page layouts or anything related to styling. The only type of web page problem I can think of that's specific to React would be hydration errors, and this doesn't sound like that.

The reason that a lot of React interfaces don't scale well is that the vast majority of web pages are very low quality, and React is a popular way to build web pages.
WinRT was abandoned by Microsoft. They said the new hotness is now WinUI 3.

Well that was until late 2023. Then they realized nobody was writing pure Windows UI code in WinUI 3. (Probably because people were still playing catch up). So they have now have unofficially mothballed WinUI 3 and the new hotness is now MAUI - cross-platform UI! - in 2024. (But no Linux support ho-ho)

Not sure what it will be next year.
In fairness, it's doing a bit more than "just" pattern matching. It's very similar to the `with` expression in elixir: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.16.3/Kernel.SpecialForms.html#wi...

You can use it to execute a series of functions returning `either`-ish tuples and build up a railway oriented program.
> Making a game is not hard - marketing a game is.

Literally no one who has ever made a game says this. Making games is so incredibly hard that the phrase “making games is hard” is a running meme!
Surely some of the reasons for more sparse interfaces is that on mobile:

- Peoples fingers are relatively fat and inaccurate.

- They are slower that desktop - so you'd break the load into parts

- The vertical scroll form factor and screen size limits what you can do.

- Things which are massively useful on desktop - like searching in a page or visually scanning a large doc are much harder on mobile.
> The great thing about a private company "overcharging" or "underserving" a community is that citizens aren't forced to be in a relationship with that company for their services.

But that is rarely true for any privatized infrastructure alternative. There is often direct financial relations through taxation anyways, either tax breaks for the company or outright having the municipality foot the bill(see most stadiums)

Then there is the potential resource usage itself - e.g how much of the land in that city is now dedicate to toll roads that could be free, or in the internet infra case it's often exclusive rights to the poles all of the lines are ran on.
Can we count "students" at "vocational education and training centers?"
I think your math is not quite right here.

You can probably get away with 1-2 good CS reps, provided the lower tiers have the right tools to triage things effectively. Put another way, if you have 1 CS rep that really cares, that does the followup calls, then you can employ 7-8 front-line CS reps at half the cost who just take diligent notes, and handle the common errors that customers make. I sincerely doubt that the person I have to call to help me connect my cable modem to my ISP makes even 40K a year. But all they have to do is follow a script, write down my answers to their questions, and escalate if the script calls for it.

I agree, completely, however, that ideally, every real issue happens precisely once and results in a change in the automated failure response.

Others have mentioned some nice tapes, as a person who makes a living from taping spacecraft together here are some of my favourites:

- Kapton P-224 - Excellent all purpose tape with good adhesion and no residue. High thermal performance and insulation

- Black Kapton 100XC - Great for increasing thermal radiative communication. Pressure Sensitive Adhesive forms a very strong bond that can be easily removed with IPA/Acetone.

- Cho-Foil - thick Aluminium tape, much stronger than the normal off the shelf aluminium tapes, commonly used for electrical grounding. Conductive adhesive, decent thermal range.

- ST150 Vacuum Sealing Tape - Used with plastic liners to create a vacuum around odd shapes. Niche, but very reliable and fun to work with (texture like taffy).

- Teflon tape - plumbers and space nerds love it for sealing things, very easy to use too much of it though.

- Glass fibre tape - excellend performance in vacuum, useful for labelling or protecting something that may be exposed to rubbing or friction.

There are a whole host of thermal tapes out there to give you lots of different optical properties that are very useful for cooling/heating: https://sheldahl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/RedBook.pdf

I wonder how different each of the wikipedias are between languages. There's barely any info about the dismantling of the Clémenceau in the English wikipedia. I occasionally read the Spanish language wikipedia for South American history as it is more complete. As a someone fluent in both languages I feel like I have access to more knowledge.

How much knowledge is "hidden" in other languages on Wikipedia?

Would be cool for translators to copy portions between languages. They must do this already, right?
No, but completely eliminating Israel isn't (and shouldn't be an option), so hopefully 1967 borders is where it can end. Israel returns occupied territories, Palestine/Hamas stops wanting revenge for everything Israel has done, international community puts pressure on both sides to accept that. Probably not gonna happen, but I think it's the optimal outcome.
Aside from the cloud bits I think the most notable way they are different at the moment is that they have their new configuration variable sets functionality, which maybe core FreeCAD hasn't agreed on yet (it's also not finished I believe).

Ondsel are seemingly using that to integrate with recalculation of designs in the cloud compute facility (think Thingiverse customiser but a bit less basic).

I eagerly anticipate that in mainstream FreeCAD, because none of the alternatives are great -- e.g. Spreadsheet is simultaneously cool, powerful and utterly exasperating once it's well-integrated. I am sure we will see it.
This doesn't hold, not having the cheap option encourages you to use the expensive option even better...

Did you read Project Texas goals? I don't think there's a better way to do it. I don't know insider details but when I heard Shou Zi Chew explain it and I read the plan, I think it'd be easy for the US to have the assurances it needs.
The government regularly has to calculate a baseline for saving lives; e.g. if you have to spend 3 trillion dollars to save one life, you could instead do many much cheaper things to save millions of lives.

For the US, preventing highway deaths is valued at roughly $13 Million[1], which is probably what GP is thinking of; the government has confidence that for every $13MM it spends on highway safety, it can save 1 life, on average, so a new safety measure that costs less than this per life saved is a win, and a new safety measure that costs more than this per life saved is a loss.

I'm sure in other contexts there are other numbers; there is no reason to think that safety interventions in e.g. mines or factories or hospitals should cost the same. Similarly if you've talked to a member of the Effective Altruism community for more than about 5 minutes you're likely to hear how you can save a life in Africa with mosquito nets for less than $10k.

Clearly money can buy lives, but GP needs to justify why they are using the USDOT numbers rather than some other number.

If they spent the time to describe all of the rare-yet-possible ways a person could die on an airliner, the thing would never leave the gate.

At some level, take their mandated-by-regulations word for it? -- these regs are written in blood, and they say to buckle your belt, not only when the sign is lighted, but also any time when seated at your seat.

Boeing has done a good job of reminding us of some non-turbulence reasons to buckle up. You might also get sucked out of an unsecured exit door plug on a 737. :) I haven't heard that one mentioned in a safety brief yet.

In the pilot circles I frequent, the joke about seatbelts is that it helps accident investigators more easily count the deceased among the wreckage. So there's some YOLO fuel for your next trip. This was a freak occurrence. It's sad and it sucks. The injuries to passengers were likely preventable -- less so the cabin crew. New word is that the fatality was a cardiac event -- no belt buckle helps anyone there.
