> That doesn't necessarily follow; a person could easily argue that Chrome won because Google abused its search monopoly to push it, then kept winning because of inertia.

Sure, for the average Joe I might buy this, but also it's the same kind of people who can't tell the difference between the address bar and the search field on the Google homepage, so I'm still kinda skeptical they don't actually refer a UI with as few options and buttons as possible....

> Unless your friends specifically prefer Chrome because of UX reasons, it could be unrelated.

... But I absolutely can't follow you here. What other reasons should there be? That that one or two websites they infrequently visit don't work? If you can't be arsed to just use chrome for these specific occasions and stay with the customizable, powerful alternative for the rest of the time, I don't believe you're someone who'd like a UI with more than three buttons anyways.

(And on that note I've yet to encounter a site that doesn't work in Firefox, but maybe that actually is a thing in places other than Europe...)
Good points, but it would still be a major step forward if websites start handling browser-simulated 3G well. Right now the typical webshit used by regular people more often than not ranges from barely usable to completely unusable on browser-simulated 3G, let alone browser-simulated 2G or real world bad connections. As a first step, make your site work well on, say, 200ms and 1Mbps.
Please understand that Chinese government wants to block "outside" web services to Chinese residents, and Chinese residents want to access those services. So if the service itself decides to deny access from China, it's actually helping the Chinese government.
> I "love" the government? That's news to me. I am not sure where you got that information.

I apologize if I'm incorrect. I think there's a common implicit bias that favors using force against the population. When that force does not do anything meaningful to protect anyone.

> I don't really know how the government "caused" COVID

COVID came out of gain of function research from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Which genetically engineered the Coronavirus to cross the species barrier & become contagious. The NIH & Eco Health Alliance funded this research.

Still many biolabs do Gain of Function research around the world. Funded by the NIH. The only effective purpose for these labs is to create bioweapons. Guess who will be affected by the bioweapons? Us...

> Trump administration's handling of it was completely incompetent

I'm not happy with how he pushed the experimental shots that got many people sick. And killed an unreported amount of people.

> I'll concede that the Reagan administration's handling of the AIDS epidemic was pretty evil.

Fauci was heavily involved with AIDS. I find Robert F. Kennedy credible. He wrote a book called "The Real Anthony Fauci". Which details Fauci's involvement with AIDS. And how AZT was killing people with AIDS. As AZT killed people with Cancer, which was it's original intended use.

If Mr. Kennedy is defaming Fauci, then Fauci can sue. Fauci hasn't sued Mr. Kennedy. He would have to go through discovery.

I have a friend that did this with garbage bins. Their HOA told them garbage bins couldn't be left out. They constructed a wooden enclosure, which has a painting of garbage bins on the outside.

Past 99%, what does "more accurate" mean? I think it will vary from person to person and use case to use case, which is why I personally don't foresee a world where an LLM or any form of AI/ML is ever perfectly accurate.

I'm struggling to think of any medium that has ever reached 100% accuracy, so to target that for an ML algorithm seems foolhardy

ocrmypdf + ripgrep-all, recoll (GUI+XLI xapian wrapper) if you prefer an indexed version, for mere full-text search, currently nothing gives better results. The semantic search it's still not there, Paperless-ngx, tagspaces and so on demand way too much time for adding just a single document to be useful at a certain scale.

My own personal version is org-mode, I keep all my stuff org-attached, so instead of searching the pdfs I search my notes linking them, a kind of metadata-rich, taggable, quick, full-text search however even if org-ql is there I almost not use it, just org-roam-node-find and counsel-rg on notes. Once done this allow for quick enough manual and variously automated archiving, do it on a large home directory it's a very long and tedious manual work. For me it's worth done since I keep adding documents and using them, but it took more than an year to be "almost done enough" and it's still unfinished after 4 years.
But it still might be worth it. A 90% accurate model will only successfully complete a task consisting of 10 subtasks 0.9^10 = 35%of the time, while a 99% will do so 90% of the time making the former useless, but the latter quite useful.

Show HN: Knowledge Graph Browser in a single executable
A Semantic Web knowledge graph consists of RDF resources identified by URLs which you ideally host somewhere so users can enter the URL of an entity, like https://dbpedia.org/resource/Leipzig, in a browser and get a human-readable representation of the resource.

Normally you need a separate SPARQL endpoint (kind of a graph database) and then connect your RDF browser to that, but that is wasteful when you have a small knowledge base, and when the SPARQL endpoint is down due to overload, then you can't access your resources anymore.

To solve this I made RickView (for "RDF/Rust quick viewer"), a single binary that holds a knowledge graph in memory and acts as a web server for RDF resources.

Here are some RDF knowledge graphs you can browse that are served by RickView:

The third option has the ability to be customised beyond the others. I have a client who needed their prospective clients to upload photos. None of the usual suspects would handle that at the time. This also allows us to do client-side resizing, cropping.

On deliverability, you don't only have to send them on, you can store them in a database and build an interface onto that. If you already have a backend system (eg Django and its Admin), that's easy. Great if there are multiple people handling emails.

The downside isn't running it, it's spam.

But for another client, I skipped forms altogether. Raw email address on the contact page alongside a WhatsApp link and a phone number. Will some people drop through the cracks? Maybe.

I don't know about the US all that much, but here in Canuck land, we generally don't have HOAs (incredibly rare), and the closest thing would be condo associations, which make sense, for there is a shared "common cost" involved in a condo building.

For detached housing, it's all the city and bylaws. Bylaws might cover common nuisance laws, such as having a bunch of rusted cars on the lawn, or having your lawn covered in dog feces. Both of these are often covered under pollution, if you live in a rural area on a well, dog shit runoff can contaminate a well. And rusting cars often have old gas and oil and other contaminants, same logic.

But realistically, these laws are also passed because "unsightly".

One difference between an HOA and a city government, is at least in Canada democracy is involved. Especially smaller city governments. I've noticed larger municipal governments aren't as democratic, just due to the size and scope of things. For example, knowing your mayor on a first name basis, in a municipality the size of <10k people, is different than a mayor of a 1M+ city.

In the smaller case, you often have the mayor's cell phone number and email, and your councillor's, and you just.. you know, talk to them.

> too much English-centric.

Pretty glad about it considering how much more simpler ASCII was to work with compared to Unicode.

I say it as a non native english speaker, programming has so many concepts and stuff already, its best not to make it more complex by adding a 101 different languages to account for.

Unicode and Timezone, the two things that try to bring more languages and cultures to be accounted for while programming and look what happens, it creates the most amount of pain for everyone including non native english programmers.

I dont want to write computer programs in my non-english native tongue, if that means i’ll have to start accounting for every major language while im programming.

Its fine that IT discussions are so English-centric. Diversity is more complexity, and no one owns the english language, its just a tool used by people to communicate, thanks to that universal language, I can express my thoughts to most people in India, China, Japan, South America, etc due to having 1 common language.

They all own the english language too, the moment they decided to speak in it.

No need to bring diversity politics in IT.

Best to keep it technical.

I never understood how the idea of HOAs became acceptable. I used to live with a friend in the US for a few months - standard suburb house in a community and cul-de-sac. I kid you not, the HOA imposed fines on my friend who owns the house that their trash bins were 12cms too tall for the shrubs to hide them. He had to move the bins away from the front side of the house or pay a recurring penalty. It's absurd what people can live with, and spend their time on.

Ironically, this is the land that screams "freedom" at every opportunity they get :-)

I tell my wife that if we ever decided to move stateside, and think of buying a house, it must be an independent house that is not part of any pesky HOA BS.
What would be the repercussions of not paying any fines and bringing a case against the city for over-reach on private property?
Green OA is just as meaningless as—-or worse than—-Gold OA. You pay the publisher a large sum of money for the “right” to self-publish the preprint, and they still paywall it. The vast majority of people will find the paywalled version before yours, and anyway there is no guarantee that your preprint is accurate with the final, published version, so most people will still trust the paywalled version more than your PDF. Especially when performing systematic literature reviews where you need to document the sources of your references.

The current implementation of OA (any of them) is basically a self-fulfilling prophecy: we convinced ourselves that “publishers are evil” and impossible to get rid of, and now we are paying them so that they don’t have to do their job. We basically retired publishers early with an extra pension, all because everyone “wants to believe” in open access. But guess what? This is not disruptive. OA is just as “capitalist evil” as the usual publishing, or even more so. Do you want to be disruptive? The disrupt. Get rid of the publishers. Or at least constrain funding only to not-for-profits for example.
I know people think a 4 day work week is the bees knees, but I'm not sure I would enjoy working a 10 hour day (assuming we are still expected to work a nominal 40 hour week). With commute, it means 12 hours+ a day, so less time for fitness or post-work de-stress.

As it is, the current 8 hour work day is really a 9 hour work day since lunchtime is not considered part of that 8 hour day, so if employees take that into consideration, it becomes an 11 hour day (or 13+ hours including commute).

P.S. anybody remember when we used to also work saturdays? Can't be just me...

I see this in my french city, there's a particular spot on my commute where my phone (mediatek) will report 2 bars of 5G but speeds will actually be around 3G.

Same. I remember they made a big song and dance about KDE 4, then when all the complaints started rolling in they pretended it was not meant for end-users and blamed the people complaining for expecting too much. They literally published a press release telling people how great the new major version was and then acted like it was unreasonable to treat it as anything other than an early alpha. I kept checking back in with the point releases, but even years later it still wasn’t as good as KDE 3.5. They had zero humility and zero accountability for the debacle, it was always somebody else’s fault.

It differs from the RFC, notably "text" is valid JSON according to ECMA but not the RFC. I've come across JSON parsers stumbling on the bottom part of ASCII, for example. JSON -> internal representation -> JSON commonly leads to loss of information.

Sure, protobuf is nice, but more limited in scope and closer to a JSON alternative than an XML alternative.

I use JSON every other day and have been for decades.
Today, we will visualize the distribution of atomic weights across the elements in the periodic table using the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Histogram Chart.

The periodic table, structured in a tabular format, categorizes chemical elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical characteristics. It is a foundational instrument in chemistry, facilitating comprehension of element relationships and anticipating their behaviors.

Elements, in the context of the periodic table, refer to the fundamental substances that make up all matter. Each element is represented by a unique symbol, usually derived from its name, and organized in rows and columns within the periodic table.
This can happen pretty easily with ORMs also, which is commonly used together with REST. Not that it really detracts, these risks are quite real.

array_map, array_reduce, array_column is pretty good at walking through arrays very quickly, assuming you parsed the json into arrays instead of objects.
We're living in polarised times. This has happened before and it usually settles down in a decade or so. There are some qualities to modern rhetoric I find hard: people leap to bad faith arguments very quickly, people devils-advocate to be "right" more than useful, people reject 1st order solutions on 2nd order concerns, and my least favourite, the use of the "lie" word, for incorrectly stated things: a lie is intentional. "I disagree" is usually what is meant.

The "4 day work week", as I understand it, is not 4x10s. It's 4x8's to reduce overall stress and mental load while still retaining the same amount of productivity.

Personally, for my own personal startup, I work 4-5 days a week, 4-6 hours a day, so 20-30 hours a week and I'm getting more work done than I did in 4-8s.

The real reduction of stress is invaluable for me to make good decisions and write code both fast, well and with minimal bugs (which just mean more wasted time).

Is it some kind of bias in that one only hears about the insane cases, and there are thousands of well-run HOAs for every crazy one? Or is it really that bad?

We don't have that concept in my country. Or, we do have associations that make it so that houses in an area share the upkeep of communal stuff like a park, playground, organize events etc. All things I would think a "normal HOA" would be, but without the ability to impose fines or stuff like that. So I would feel a house with that kind of neighborhood here would be a net positive, as in costs can be shared among more.
In NC, the HOA can force foreclosure on unpaid fees, even if the home is paid off. And 80% of available houses are in an HOA. They have us. Anti-HOA legislation is needed, but the legislature is greased by their lobbying.
I agree with this. Because it does seem that if it's based on NOT 100% accurate information in terms of training, it can never return 100% accurate results. Which I guess, as humans, we don't either, but as a committee, one MAY argue we could. I'm torn lol.
