That doesn’t really make sense. Publishers will already show you an ad every time doing so is profitable. They won’t show you an ad when it isn’t profitable.

That is a relevant point, although still it shouldn't be necessary; proper semantic HTML commands should allow the browser to handle it automatically (in the way subject to user preferences), e.g. the <ARTICLE> command can be used if you want to delimit the article from the comments, and with commands such as <H1>, <H2>, etc you can delimit sections and automatically make a table of contents.

It feels like browsers over the decades have moved away from catering to power users.

Is something like Arc moving back? Without having used it (I plan to at some point), I've heard that at least its tab management seems catered towards "professional browser users".

I like the way Cory Doctorow puts it in this piece:

> A web browser that's a "user agent" is a comforting thought. An agent's job is to serve you and your interests. When you tell it to fetch a web-page, your agent should figure out how to get that page, make sense of the code that's embedded in it, and render the page in a way that represents its best guess of how you'd like the page seen.

The Czechs have historically had a fairly significant animation industry, and the vast majority are very cute, e.g.: [0][1]. There also exist a few stop motion animation films intended for adults, and those can be more arthouse (e.g. Alice). [2]

In America, Czech cartoons somewhat unfairly have the reputation for being weird, because a dozen Tom & Jerry episodes were made in Prague in the early 1960s in very weird circumstances, on a shoe-string budget by animators unaccustomed to the very idea of violent cartoons. [3] These were received with some confusion by the American audience in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis. From this you then have consequent parodies like The Simpsons' Worker and Parasite, which - though not exactly a fair reflection of Czech animation - is absolutely hilarious. [4]

I think in an ideal world they come with some kind of a diff. Maybe an activity guide with prompts for parents.

I picked up “Anti-Bias Education for Young Children and Ourselves” from naeyc and that’s more or less what they propose. They suggested that when you see a problematic representation in your kids media not to hide it, but note it “That doesn’t seem very fair to be judged only by <blank>” and if there’s time engage the kid “what do you think?”

It gives a natural way to talk about the problems while also showing good examples of how they might come up in the kids life.

You can also do the inverse. Remove the gnarly reference and then introduce a surrogate conversation with possibly easier to understand plots or themes. Later when they are older you can, and should, talk to them about how the differences and ask what they think. Ask them to come up with a different change and think how that might influence the reader.

Now not only did they get the changed and original they get a healthy dose of media literacy to understand how changing narratives can change how we view the world.

There are challenges and difficulties of course, but it’s certainly possible to do well in my opinion.
If you're seriously accusing me of being Apple Global Security, it should be fairly obvious from my comment history that that's not the case (and explicitly: I have only ever been employed as an engineer, and only by companies that are antagonistic to Apple).

Calling out the fact that she appears to have constantly changed her story makes her look untrustworthy. It could be a smear tactic by corporate enforcers, or it could be that she's genuinely untrustworthy!

When one can make a stratum 1 server for $100, there is very little reason for the continuous existence of public NTP servers. ISP can offer the service to their customers, and any company with a semblance of IT dept can have its own stratum 1.

Help me understand this as I'm not in NY and I use uber about 2-3 times a year. When you use Uber you put in your destination up-front - so everyone already knows where you are and where you're going, why isn't this information used by drivers to make a decision on whether or not to accept?

No magic necessary. Factor your hand-rolling into a function that returns a string (instead of printing as in the example), and write a test that parses it's return with a proper JSON library. Assert that the parsing was successful and that the extracted values are correct. Ideally you'd use a property test.
> Tech companies in general seem to struggle with consent.

This is why Louis Rossman started describing these behaviors as a “rapist mentality” of tech companies. It’s a violation of consent, an exploitation of their anti-competitive size (yes just their size is inherently a problem that distorts the market).
So what do you propose? From my perspective, there are but few realistic options.

My recommendation after 20 years or so in tech: if you can, take a sabbatical that’s long enough to completely reset, and then re-assess. Travel, read, try stuff, do personal projects, do nothing for awhile.

I started a sabbatical two years ago, and in the beginning I was convinced that I didn’t want to ever work in tech again. In retrospect, that was at least partially the burnout talking.

It took me over a year before I started warming to the idea again, and I’m now fairly certain I’ll go back to a tech role, but with a very different perspective both on life and on whatever roles I take going forward.

There’s something incredibly valuable about fully replacing your routines and truly taking a break.

I sold some stock to make it happen, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Show HN: Qq: like jq, but can transcode between many formats
qq is jq inspired interoperable config format transcoder with interactive querying. It features an optional interactive editor with autocomplete for structured data. And supports inputs and outputs for json, xml, ini, toml, yaml, hcl, tf, and csv to varying degrees of capability.
I don't like leaving negative or hyperbolic comments on HN, but this was enraging and unacceptable to me. It's hard to convey without coming off as unhinged

You're not unhinged, there's been a fundamental change in internet culture and the early 2000s free internet people are considered loony now. Ive been laughed out of Discord groups(it's what the under 30s use these days instead of chats and forums, and is itself problematic) for talking about these things.

Sound like you need to shelter in place. Do some simple work. Be open about your shit but dont burden people with it. What people like the most in a person that is down is positivity and a willingness to grow. It's hard. I know. But in the end of the day nobody really cares about all the shit that you went through. Talking about it like you do in the post above creates opportunity for people to wave it away as a lie, or something you brought upon yourself. Better leave it vague. Only tell some vague stuff when people ask. Give details sparingly. The more story you tell the bigger the chance that they start dispising you. They will start victim blaming. They will start to believe that you have bad karma or that you will take advantage of them.
What a lot of people do care about is helping someone who is down. The problem is that you need to make sure they believe you are trustworthy, not-despicable, a good human being, someone they want close. You just need someone that gives you a good break. Someone that vouches for you.
It's shitty and it's fucked that there are no good government system in place to help you with your predicament. I do agree with your scepticism of the world. The world is being manipulated.
I mean, the person who caused windows to behave this way surely had some justification, even if it was self-serving. I think a choice would be better but I also think that being on is a reasonable default for users.

I don’t understand the point about users explicitly opting out (and that being switched?). I would chalk such a thing down to the kind of big company systematic nefariousness you get (no one needs to say ‘make it ignore the opt out’, they just implement a default wrong and don’t notice/fix/investigate the bug because KPIs increase)
They go out of their way to make this difficult. I tried disconnecting my internet while installing, but they're apparently wise to that because the option which internet articles claim is there is no longer there. I think there's probably a console dropdown you can bring up when installing to get a local account, but I've decided against fighting the OS. It's so user hostile that it's not worth it to try to turn it into something I like.

Uber could certainly throw additional tech at this problem, but, realistically, the problem is the fault of NYC, not Uber. If NYC got rid of their antiquated laws, this would be a non-issue, and, rides would likely be cheaper and easier to obtain.

Not to mention you really don't want big names like Uber/Lyft to be the only players that can enter the game because they have the resources to enter a complex regulatory market.
OpenRSS is a service that creates RSS feeds using web scraping. Unfortunately, it can't create enclosure links for audio content that's sitting behind Spotify's paywall, so this isn't a podcast feed.

A DIY digital zine of my SXSW '24
Currently jobless, I decided to explore some new to me tech stacks (next.js, tailwind css, vercel, prisma, supabase) and launch a project about my mission to catch 50 sets at SXSW this year.

My only real goal of this all is to help draw attention to some artists that you may never hear of, so if you do visit, please listen to one new song.

Feedback is warmly welcomed-please don't hesitate to ask about the technical aspects. I will happily write up guides/docs to help answer them.
> tired of the infantilization of the industry (frankly, it's embarrassing)

Couldn't agree more.

In any case you might want to consider starting a family first and only then switching careers.

I'm trying to avoid platitudes here, but children really do put some things into sharp focus and more often than not that affects your priorities.

Also you discover where your limits are and that they're actually much further than you anticipated.

I see that as a better starting point to do anything challenging really, as you're already managing the hardest challenge.
Any adjustment, customization, etc should save you more time than it consumes.

Some customizations are a no-brainer because you know and constantly use them, and they are simple. The farther from often-used functions, the less customization pays off. The more complex is your custom layer, the more expensive its upkeep is, so its benefit should be proportionally huge to be worth the time.

Tweaking something because it's sort of neat to have is just a way to play, to bring a bit of joy into your day. Recreational activity is important, but it should not be mistaken for productivity improvement. It also should not burden you with recurring maintenance costs.
Yep - I agree with that. I set up a Windows 11 machine recently and was still able to create a local account. I'm sure there will be ways to defeat the new requirement. I haven't tried this, but even if they forced a Microsoft account during set up, couldn't you just create a local admin account once logged in, then log in with that account and delete the first profile?
Web site didn't let me in because I have as blockers going. They didn't get my traffic: ad blocking is personal infosec.
I think there are actually not that many SMBs that want a tech person who limits their working hours and won't handle problems that come up on evenings, weekends, and holidays. That is, they don't want an IT person who won't return their after-hours emergency call.

And SMB owners are not very good at determining what is an IT emergency.
You're setting an incredibly low bar for what we should accept. We're talking about people's livelihoods here - their ability to put food on their family's table.
I don’t find it convincing at all. Why do privacy protections need to be coupled to anti discrimination language? Pass them as a separate bill, and start with blanket protections on privacy, explicit consent, a ban on data brokers who operate without end user consent, and transparency around how data is obtained. This just looks like an uncontroversial and obvious good (privacy) is being bogged down with politically loaded riders.
It seems completely illegal for MS to do that on EU computers, esp. with Schrems (but probably even completely illegal with just GDPR)
> I understand Microsoft has built up good will through efforts like VS Code, but it's all undone because of things like this.

Someone in Microsoft should look into who is making these decisions, why these decisions are are being made, and why they are being received so negatively. Then they need to address them.

Even though I'm not much of a fan of Microsoft products, I get the impression that they have some excellent developers making excellent products that end up being undermined by business decisions. These are decisions that will probably end up undermining the business itself. We don't live in the 1990's anymore. Microsoft has plenty of competitors who are nibbling away at their edges.

I think the issue is that in this case the drivers want to work on their terms, and Uber/Lift want to be able to limit the number of drivers at certain times (i.e.: work their terms) in order not to pay minimum wage to lot of drivers when there are too many drivers logged-in (and thus just sitting around).

There are aspects that are unfair for both parties... and this is exactly the sort of situation that Uber/Lift have setup: it is going to be exploitive to someone. The companies just thought it could always be them doing the exploiting.
What EU is doing is wrong. There are costs in running App Store, and asking for it to be fee free does not make sense. Allowing 3rd party Stores will wide open mass public to scams, data leaks and worse.

Developers are getting a very good deal for their small fee by SW industry metrics. Their apps gets displayed and sold by Apple, all things covered, no chargebacks, no running costs.

I feel threatened as a user by what EU is doing. Next thing to expect - many apps will require(!) always on location...

Yes. I do enjoy sadness. Once you worked your way to enjoy it, it becomes cleansing in itself. It is not inherently unjoyful, it is that you are attributing lack of joy to it.

This is basically what "inner child work" is doing, or "demon feeding", to stay closer to buddhistic practices.

No, I'm not spending an hour on verification; what are you, a government contractor or something?

I've already got my phone out, because that's where I stick my shopping list sticky note. I already watch prices and frequently catch mistakes at the till. But I trust that the paper price tag won't change, so I just tell the cashier their system overcharged me and they fix it. Occasionally I'm hit with an unexpectedly large bill and spend an extra 30 seconds or so to figure out what's going on (the answer is usually cheese).

But if they change to electronic price tags, you bet your ass I'm gonna spend that extra few seconds per item so I have evidence on hand.

> just don't interact with the crap and you're still somewhat safer

You're not wrong, but your initial comment made it sound like it was just a matter of not stepping in a single pile of dog poo. What Microsoft presents users with instead is an entire sewer with a great big EXIT sign pointing straight through the sewage. If you're in the know you can mutter a secret incantation and a ladder will drop down, allowing you to climb up onto a rickety catwalk with lots of warning signs telling you that you're going the wrong way. If you're brave enough to ignore the warning signs then eventually you'll get to the other side without touching the crap.

Needless to say, most people follow the path that Microsoft designed for them and end up interacting with at least some of the crap.

Yes, from what I've heard from other people, I have pretty extreme hyperphantasia.

The only other people I've talked to/heard of who experience something similar also have one or more kinds of synesthesia, which I don't have. I can pull anything from my inner world into the outer one and vice versa, but the things are only themselves. Numbers and letters don't have colors, smells, or personalities.
