You can do this on Firefox if (and only if I think) you have a multi-touch input device. So on my trackpad (a Wacom tablet) or my touchscreen laptop I can pinch to pan and zoom like this. But I don't think there is a way to trigger this with a keyboard and mouse.

I don't think I prefer it most of the time, as scrolling is annoying. But it is super useful for sites that break the browser-default scrolling.

I tend to agree with you. Rust uses Result types and for any real-world API, you can be almost certain that 90% of operations can fail and need to return Result. You can see that in most Rust code that's not just algorithms, you will have a `?` at the end of nearly every method (which is the way Rust propagates errors, similar to how Exceptions are automatically propagated in most languages - but they don't require the `?` to mark them).

Rust kind of cheated a bit with arithmetic and it doesn't return a Result when you use division, for example (it's cheating because if not for convenience, it really should return Result as arithmetic errors like division by zero and reaching a NaN are fairly common - and hence would justify that).
If your DNS is compromised it's game over anyway, because then everything is compromised. DNS is a single point of failure. You'll also be able to reroute inbound email, MITM HTTP traffic, order rogue TLS certificates, etc. etc.

Saying DKIM is flawed because you can create rogue keys with DNS access is the same as saying the entire PKI is flawed because you can order certificates using DNS-01 verification.
Wait, having a computer saying that your face matches a video does not prove that you are the person on the video. Sure, the police can talk to you, but that is not a sufficient piece of evidence.

I think Flexile is a great concept, and there's tremendous value in simplifying things like equity & dividends. I'd like to see dividends become the norm for other companies!
Once you customize something, it's no longer the default.
Personally agree. But let's be honest: the big shift to ARM in desktop will only happen with Windows.
Constructively using LLMs tends to require validating the quality of their output; even when not hallucinating content, they do hallucinate confidence. Increasing the size of the output dramatically increases the effort needed to validate it.

Both examples have sections where the model simply left in placeholders for concepts - in example 1, "Summary of Key Takeaways" repeatedly references `[Book Topic]`, while example 2 starts doing so much earlier in "Overview of the Book".

What is the goal of this project? If it is meant to be more than a learning exercise, I'd hope for a lot more investment on quality control for the final output (but then I'd perhaps be even more worried that people would trust that output uncritically).
It's a strawman fallacy, not mockery. I never heard of archaeologists doing any of what they are accused of here.
I would be very curious which of the above options is more accurate, I don't think it is open-and-shut that the 2nd would be.

Obviously computer + car make would be the best combo?
I find it meaningful that they're mentioned in the same document/release. Newspeople will obviously shorten that gap even further and put them in the same sentence, separated only by comma (like the CNN article currently linked).

If that doesn't say "your're no better than the other side", I don't know what would. It might be especially disrespectful to the Israeli, who usually play moral high ground, but it's probably also true the other way around.

Titling the official release "... in the situation in the State of Palestine" is a cherry on the top. (https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-... — thanks to sibling comment)
> reporting suggests that Biden's team has been the only thing between the current situation and abyss that would kill 3-5x as many civilians

Um. What?

Biden's team vetoed UN calls for a ceasefire three times.

Biden's team has delivered how many billions of dollars of weapons in the last 8 months?

Biden's team has consistently and repeatedly lied in front of the whole world, saying that they see "no evidence" of genocide. This, during the most documented mass murder in all history. This, despite clear and unequivocal genocidal statements from Israeli leadership, media, and populace.

How many people have resigned from his team now, saying they can't have this much Palestinian blood on their hands any more? To claim that Biden has prevented deaths in the last 8 months is breathtaking. At every juncture he and the team he still has have been complicit.
On the other hand, this is backing companies into corners that are dangerously hard to get out of.

Stuff like this made me realize how I have no idea how big enthusiast markets are. If you asked me how many weirdo disk connectors for vintage macs and Apple II's could be sold today I would have guessed maybe one or two hundred at most, sold over many years.

It looks like they've sold tens of thousands of these.

If we guess 50,000 at $129, with say a 30% profit margin, which might be low for hobbyist markets, its $2m net. These "little" enthusiast markets are much larger and lucrative than I thought.
> Killing civilians is not good.

International law looks at this differently. There's a huge difference between targeting civilians and striking genuine military targets that have civilian human shields, especially after issuing a warning and taking reasonable precautions. The first is a war crime, the second is actually allowed by Geneva conventions. The phrase “killing civilians” throws these differences out of the window and simply shouldn't be used in intelligent conversion about this topic.

Many governments have been defeated in war without genocides.
Are they also supposed to submit arrest warrants for all the IDF soldiers who committed war crimes and shared them on social media? It's the job of the political/government/military leaders to keep their soldiers in check, and the job of the ICC to keep the leaders in check. (In theory at least)

One of the side-effects of text scaling is content will be pushed further down the page. So if you place promoted content on top as most do, the normal content will fall below the fold. That "small" ad then becomes the only thing the user sees.
is this a question? I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.
yes, and these choices dont matter individually, but how these choices glue together does, in fact, depend on all of them collectively.
> Broadly I think Israel has the right ambition (the destruction of Hamas)

Well a few months ago Netanyahu sent the head of the Mossad to Qatar asking them to fund Hamas ( https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-q... ). So these endless massacres of Palestinian civilians by Israel (and effectively by the USA too) are happening for a pretty capricious reason, if that even is the reason, and I think it isn't.

What's your point? I agree with some of this but disagree with most of it, but either way, it doesn't intersect with anything I wrote.
TSMC being the only game in town is what's bad for the market.

Beyond some threshold, any meta-gaming of the market is bad for the market. It's like patents. When they were first instituted, they did some good by incentivizing innovation. Then, people started meta-gaming them, and used them as legal weapons to suppress competition well beyond the original intention.

I don't think there's a good argument that monopolizing a feature is good for the market, even if the means that allows it is technically legal.

What could be argued, is if legal remedies to this kind of meta-gaming might also be meta-gamed in return and become worse than the thing they were trying to remedy. This seems to always happen in a variety of forms.
Ok, then tell me how you do it. Or how well it worked for the us to destroy the Taliban.

Facebook used something called Primer that very similar to HTMX. It was widely used until about 2010 or 2011.

apple never wanted to use intel hardware, they were forced to by motorola/IBM et al; whoever was selling them the PowerPC chips told them to pound sand because the xbox and playstation needed way more PPC chips than apple. Apple made a business decision to switch to intel, which caused a bit of a to-do in the community at the time. That apple switched off intel at their earliest possible chance - that which took time to "design" their own ARM cpu - doesn't really mean anything, in my opinion.

I wonder how many people remember all of the hardware platforms that NT 3.51 and NT 4 ran on (Sparc, etc)
> But the USA is Israel's most important ally.

However, Israel is not the USA's most important ally.

The US is not really an ally of Israel at all. The NATO countries are.
Japan and South Korea are. They have US troops and bases. The US does not send troops to fight in Israel's wars. The US just sends money.
Not OP, but it compiles orders of magnitude quicker than Swift. It also doesn’t tend to grind Xcode to a halt as the language server tries to work out what’s going on.

But, in fairness, it’s a much simpler language than Swift. Which can also be a virtue.
I am also in favor of catching violent criminals. And as such I join you in the downvote fest. Of course, no one puts forth a cogent argument about why catching violent criminals with this technology is bad. Can it be abused? Yes. Was it abused here? No. Luckily, we live in a democracy where we make the rules. If we want a policy that law enforcement can't buy these systems, make that the law. If we want a policy where law enforcement can't use these systems in any capacity, then make that the law.
I could see the US pulling back on Israel if it starts to cost them soft power elsewhere, but you're fundamentally correct. Israel is the primary instrument of US hegemony in the middle east, and they aren't going to risk losing that.
It might kill dead zones, but still it might be a solar flare away to lose all communications.

The problem is "life is chemistry." So it's challenging to track all the factors at play and identify the pertinent ones and draw a firm conclusion.

If potassium is a means to treat it, you can increase your potassium intake by eating differently without consciously realizing:

A. I increased my potassium intake.

B. My increased potassium levels are the real reason my warts went away -- or at least one of the pertinent factors.

Most dietary studies are "observational" and also self reported. These are both weak means to make any kind of cause-and-effect connection and there's no obvious way to improve on it because it's generally considered unethical to experiment medically on humans by doing extreme things to them and also if you don't lock them down and have absolute control over them, you will not know for certain that they weren't sneaking food not listed or making themselves throw up on purpose or something.

People have all kinds of bizarre behaviors around diet and routinely actively hide it from other people or outright lie. People with eating disorders usually don't tell their social circle they are anorexic or bulimic. They hide that fact.

How do you get people to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about their diet? How do you make sure they report every single candy bar grabbed from a vending machine during a busy workday? How do you ensure they don't fib about something because they feel X is socially unacceptable?

Presumably, if you tried, you would get self-selected volunteers who saw themselves as "eating right" and generally fitting a particular pattern of consumption. You probably wouldn't get a lot of volunteers on "weirdo" diets and if you did, how do you meaningfully compare data for your vegan participant and your carnivore diet participant?

And that's just diet. There are other things in life beyond diet that impact health.
Are you for real? Most posts about the conflict that I encounter here are vile anti-israeli propaganda, and the comments aren't any better.

This is also important for being able to show normal size text on smaller phones. I've got a 5.8" screen and basically every app is visually broken, with about 10% functionally broken as well. Every web or app designer should get an iPhone Mini or similar, crank the font size accessibility setting, and make sure everything works. In particular, any text that is truncated needs to have a line-wrapped version available somewhere, every page with content needs to be scrollable, and the input box needs to be functional (e.g. it must show at least one line) when the keyboard is out.

On web, use `overflow-wrap: break-word` and make sure your header can shrink.
I disagree. I write very large code bases in Kotlin and Java. Kotlin did away with checked Exceptions and it's a pleasure to use, without any significant decrease in the quality of the systems compared to Java, quite the opposite because Kotlin forces you to check stuff like nullability. I've also used Rust and I simply can't see any real improvement in the reliability of code I've written just because it forces you to use Result type (it's just too easy, and tempting , to swallow an Error or panic with `unwrap` because otherwise you just end up with every single function returning Result, making it really non-egornomical to work with... arguably the Rust language itself did that with arithmetic operators).
I'd be interested to see what his sample graphic looks like after his "font scaling" solution. It is 1/4 the total space.
People often lament loopholes, but understand that the correct course of action is to fix the loopholes, not to expect eg someone to pay more tax than they are legally required to. I don't think it should be any different for police officers - if a city really doesn't want them using facial recognition, then ban the practice, close the loopholes, and put real consequences in place for violating the policy.
Thanks for the work guys! It's been growing in quality of the years and is one of my regulars.
The thread on warp drives got killed so I'm replying here (sorry for out of context folks)

"Would it explode or just punch a hole" depends on the energies of the impact involved. If there is only enough energy to break chemical bonds, it would punch a hole.

As energy of the impact gets higher the hole gets deeper. Probably punching all the way through the ship.

Once the impact energy gets strong enough to break nuclear bonds, the story changes. Now we have an e=mc^2 event at the impact site. It isn't just the impact energy anymore. At minimum, the punched hole just got wider and potentially radioactive as byproducts go on adventures. Once the hole is wider than the ship, I think that counts as "exploded".

Like you would any other crime. Investigate, insert moles, offer "extremely large" bounties + protection for arrests leading to conviction, and so on. The current situation is not only an ineffective means of combating Hamas, but is likely growing their numbers. The reason these sort of conflicts never end is because each time you bomb an area with innocents, you may or may not kill your target, but you definitely just turned all the friends, family, and so on of the innocents killed into new "real" enemies.

Right, my point is that we're most important external input to Israel's decision-making process, not that we depend on them (beyond the political fact that the US electorate broadly supports Israel as an enterprise, and ranks the Gaza war at the bottom of important issues).

If it weren't for a large portion of the American public having religious motivation (evangelical protestantism) to support Israel unconditionally, no matter what, then the US would be able to exert considerable pressure on Israel, for instance by threatening to cut off Israel as Israel has been cutting off Gaza. No more arms shipments, no more UN Security Council vetos of any anti-Israel resolution, etc.

But of course this is politically impossible for the US. Near half of the US population would throw an absolute fit.
So the better thing to do was to strengthen Hamas? Hamas is an enemy Israel helped create.

Nobody will be able to compete against Apple CPUs while they're 1 process node ahead of competitors though.

If this artificial advantage allows Apple to slack off in their other areas of competitive advantage, then this is bad for the consumer, overall. This creates an environment of cynicism, where there's even degraded incentive to try and beat Apple with a better product.
I don't disagree with you about the situation regarding fact checking initiatives from social media moderation and safety teams and how their social capital and brand image play out against them.

In that particular case though the sources I provided were (1) an fact checking piece from a well known and respected information household and (2) a detailed and documented rebuttal of how the numbers provided by the other party (something like "millions of people died in Europe from RNA vaccines") were actually wrong.
