Ahhh Stallman!

Stallman is open sources resident lunatic. And for better or worse he's ours and we should embrace him. Not because we think what he says is right, rather for his purity of vision and conviction. You don't have to agree with him, but you have to respect how far he's willing to go to make a point.

The Ethereum Data Library is a JavaScript library designed to simplify interaction with Ethereum blockchain data. Whether you're fetching transactions, querying balances, transforming data, or caching results for efficiency, this library provides robust tools to streamline your Ethereum development workflow.
You can always limit robotaxi fleets via legislation, medallions were a thing before Uber/lift. Even if they aren’t limited, not having the sunk cost of a personal car can lead to more transit use anyways as long as robo taxis are priced appropriately higher.

My main point is that taking away easy/street parking will be more effective than just not building roads or even going with congestion pricing.
Huge nuisance to manually maintain, but the suggestion is that you maintain it with an LLM.

Is the code bad? Sure.

Could I build this in 10 hours without an LLM having no experience with cloudflare workers and typescript? Probably not.

There is a slight difference between glasses and hiring someone actually disabled - blind, deaf, can't do physical labor, autistic, etc.

Yes, you can try to assert fuzzy boundaries, but that doesn't mean that the thing we're pointing to doesn't exist. There are actually plenty of people that cannot do plenty of jobs.

Nobody minds hiring a software dev with a wheelchair or a person wearing glasses. This is not objectionable. Your proposed way to view this dilemma has to also be able to address the more problematic cases - what happens with an Amazon worker who can't stand up for longer periods of time? Or a blind person applying to be a QA?
Difference between engineers and devs?
Funny, I have the complete opposite experience with python. Constantly turned off inline errors and warnings because they were almost always wrong - packages I installed “could not be found” by the LSP, it constantly worried about type issues that were no longer incorrect, it didn’t pick up function changes across files, etc etc.

Then you think “maybe I just have the wrong lsp” only to realize there are half a dozen that all behave differently and nobody can agree on.

I tried them all, they all turned even my simplest of scripts between 10-50% red. I think half of my ire towards python came from the fact that the LSP situation was so awful, I just had to get used to reading code with a bunch of “errors” in my face, or turn them off completely… I could never decide which was worse
I will take "stupid things that bother you for no good reason" for 200.

kamikaze drone is perhaps the most ridiculous term that has popped up in the last few years.

I despise it for at least two reasons.

1. Kamikaze was terminology specifically used to describe a "human" not a machine guiding themselves terminally into the target. this is what made it so horrifying.

2. If that is a 'sighs' kamikaze drone. why is the aim-9 sidewinder not one? by which I mean we already had perfectly good term to describe this sort of device. why not use it. It is a guided missile.
If they want a web app, PHP is ok.

Medical records are not a website, so its logic should not be in PHP.

As i was reading the the quote by stallman i became somewhat introspective and i thought for a while and the then the shallowness of the last sentence of the blog post itself was like a cup of water thrown in my face.
China is starting to mass produce NaCl batteries. They will be cheaper.

And also only Powerwalls produced in this quantity would have way lower prices. My point was batteries are getting cheaper every day.

Of course everyone is free to use DRM if they want to, however, no one should be free to expose others to the risks/consequences of DRM.

It's basically Popper on tolerance all over again.

OP didn't say it was invented recently, just that language has shifted to use it more.

This should be the topmost comment. Box plots are made for visualizing generalized normal distributions and nothing else.

Out of curiosity, are there any good introspectors/sidesteppers for browser DRM?

Show HN: Free open-source Chrome extension for users with disabilities
Hello HN!

Beginner dev here; read several articles about the challenges faced by users with disabilities (and the impact on businesses). Thought to build a chrome extension to enhance web experience for users with disabilities, after realizing that current solutions focus on auditing web for accessibility.

Current features published on Chrome store: Text Magnification | High contrast | Alt text | TTS.

Working on (but not published yet) tooltip to explain each feature, additional language support.

Will appreciate feedback, collaborations and suggestions of things to improve.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/mike-adediran/webforall
But this is something, one can avoid by only allowing well tuned batteries to the grid? Or is this a serious problem to get right?

Well I can say what happens with me, although as should be clear from this whole thread, other's experiences might be very different!

Visualising an image (of a memory, or an ideal) is a bit like tricking yourself into seeing something. There is no actual bike in your brain, just memories of what parts of a bike look like.

The trick is your brain putting those parts together and presenting that composite as 'a bike'. So i can understand how - some people - can 'see' what they think a bike looks like but then draw a mechanical mess.

Of course there are people with perfect recall, and others who design bikes for a living and so on. I'm really just describing how it could happen for some group of people.
Exactly this on the last point. Although rereading this the distribution point is explained poorly.

People waltz in with assumptions and then complain when they don’t work because they don’t really understand the tools they are using. The author is one of them. It’s a bad article and the author should not be using or demonstrating things they clearly don't understand.
There is a large contingent of people that claim to know about X because they read a good book on it, which is ludicrous nonsense. Indeed the most unique things of any experience is what you cannot put into words.

Language is a very lossy compression algorithm, and some concepts aren't even computable in the first place (i.e feeling and emotions)

This is the way to go in my opinion. I think it’s the easiest, most straight forward, and not confusing to the reviewer. You shouldn’t be using box plots to describe the shape of data to begin with, but having a ghost/after image/super imposition can probably only help in cases where you need to communicate that the shape is different, even if the statistical nature is the same.
> If ‘sudo’ is properly configured running bash or anything that allows command execution (vim, eMacs, etc) is disallowed.

Keep in mind that this is borderline impossible to enforce unless your goal is just to stop the most common ways of accidentally breaking the policy. A list of commands that allows breaking out into a full shell includes: less, apt, man, nano, wget & many more.

Isnt something similar possible for cars? Based on certain frequencies in the motor area, you can deduce what is faulty?

This made me chuckle. Apple influencing the way Emacs is capitalized (pun intended) versus RMS's stance on Free Software couldn't be further apart I think.
It's not like banning cars, it is like banning horse carriages on high ways.

We have better technology nowadays, including for plotting, so why not ditch the old?

The author of the blog post has some good arguments. From your post, I cannot distill an argument as to why you would prefer specifically a box plot over a strip plot.

This is also wrong. Gaussian curves are symmetric. Box plots do not have to be. In fact representing skew in a batch is one of the fundamental purposes of them.

A lot of urban schools don’t provide school buses for most students, and/or rely on city public buses with safety issues. So the cars around at first/last bell are still pretty dense. I totally agree though, and would never pick an elementary/middle school not within walking distance.

I could see the value later (my kid is 7) of a feature or watch phone for after/before school emergencies, like if they have activities after school or are walking home on their own. Of course, disable during school hours, a lot of phones support that via parental controls these days (but you still have to allow 911, although not a bad compromise).
The author mentions those at the bottom of the article, but two problems highlighted still remain:

* There's another intermediary concept (kernel density estimation) between the audience and the data

* They're still likely to misrepresent tight groupings and discontinuities, which will be smoothed out
Utterly ludicrous
The only advantage box plots had is that they can be drawn by hand. Now that computers are ubiquitous this is no longer valuable.

Violin plots and bee swarm plots are better. Jittered strip plots can be okay if you're careful to avoid saturation (or more points added in the saturated region will disappear as they can't make it any darker).
In short and unsurprisingly: Not every analysis and data set works with every visualisation.
> So I happen to know how it is to live both with and without the ability to visualize

True, but this is not the same as being born aphantasic.

I'm thinking that people like me who have never had the ability to draw pictures in their head have decades of dedicating brain power to alternative ways of thinking about the world that you wouldn't have in place.

You wouldn't be able to compare the experience in any real depth, but you might have more than typical insight.

In my experience of sharing violin plots with people who are unfamiliar with them, it's not intuitive that the curve represents the distribution. Even with the scatter plot over/underlaid.

But that's okay, I don't mind explaining it and then the graph is easier to interpret imo.
> Box plots [...] assume that your data follows a bell/gaussian shape.

Not sure how to square that with this statement on Wikipedia's page on box plots:

Box plots are non-parametric: they display variation in samples of a statistical population without making any assumptions of the underlying statistical distribution[3]
It's not too different from the actuators found in cars for throttle positioning, HVAC routing, headlight aiming, etc.
Over the last year the UK has generated more electricity from renewable resources than it has from fossil fuels — https://grid.iamkate.com/

The energy from the wind farms built over the last few years are priced of a Contracts for Difference basis i.e. if energy price is under a set price we pay the operator, if it’s over the operator pays us

The largest impact on electricity prices has been the war in Ukraine, and as electricity prices are set by the highest cost generator then domestic prices have risen (and fallen) in line with oil / gas prices

What’s clear though is the renewables are cheaper than oil and gas for electricity generation and are largely stable enough to meet demand (we also have the option of importing from France or Scandinavia for non-fossil fuel produced electricity)
This wouldn't even be sooooo bad if we could still google how to disable and fix everything... but complete google search collapse is exacerbating microsofts shit to an unbelievable unfixable level.

When there are alternatives that are clearer and also don't have this education problem, why use box plots? You seem quite keen on them, but why?
Yeah, as someone who grew up in Tajikistan myself - can confirm most of the observations (like 99% is very accurate). I never noticed any special love for Americans tbh, probably the dude just didn't know anything about European countries your friends were from. Mostly people love any tourists (for different reasons, but never sincerely :) )
Depends on the kitchen, I worked 3x lunchtime-midnight shifts per week (most weeks) at an Italian function kitchen for 18 months.

It was focused grind; prepping, then plating, dishwashing, then cleaning for 250-300 seats for weddings | engagements | etc.

I enjoyed it, steady work all the way through with little to no drama other than some occassional wait staff drama (the 20 something overly privileged offspring of owners and their circle being made to work "a real job" were the usual problem, mixing social lives with prancing for tips with insta-drama).

No real injuries during my time there, on one occassion the front glass window was taken out with a shotgun before start of day (some drama with business owner family member sleeping with someone they shouldn't have) - no injuries, no police called, window replaced within hours, no sign of damage by opening time.
The author has experience of teaching box plots in various organisations.

The author has found that compared to other types of plots, people struggle to learn how to intepret box plots.

The author proposes some alternatives that they believe to be easier for people to interpret:

- Strip plots (for few data points)

- Jittered strip plots (for more data points)

- Distribution heatmap (for even more data points)

----

This aligns with my experience of trying to convey information to non-technical or moderately technical people; box plots are a struggle for them. To me it does seem like the proposed alternatives would be more accessible.

Sure, we could try to better educate people about box plots, (as the author has done professionally); or we could consider using something that requires less effort for people to comprehend.
Now wait until you have arguments about the future…
True, that is what _should_ have been done in the first place. But I have given up on companies caring about battery life of products, when their business model is exactly getting their products obsolete as fast as possible for people to get the new product, and hindering self-repair as much as possible.
Yes the other diagrams are better for mass consumption, and illustrating direct representation of the data distribution.

But that's not the purpose of a box diagram and the article even did a side by side comparison showing an apples and oranges comparison of 2 total different representations of the data.

Those diagrams were never meant to represent the data in the same way.

The article simply could have shown a better way of illustrating the data, rather than implying box diagrams are incorrect, which they aren't, any more than choosing a bad graph or axis is (CF. parent comment)
Do not like rebasing. For me, it's squash-merge all the way, and I compare the actual diff of the code on my new branch.

Diffs are what matter--not commits.

The "true" GNU Operating System is essentially every distro that's fully free software - to the point where you're excluding things needed for basic functionality like firmware blobs, with the proposed solution of "just use hardware that doesn't need that software". Only about half a dozen distros go the mile to get that stamp of approval, and most of them are forks.

You might think that Debian fits that criteria, but offering to enable the nonfree repo (and likely the nonfree repo itself existing) disqualifies it as an endorsed GNU system. That's the comparison.
Is a desktop version planned with these specs? Who knows?

They don't have a principled stance from a GNU point of view. Debian installation media includes non-free software [1].

Pre-internet and an ever-increasing race for attention, too.
If you want to see why that is not fully correct you should read the article. For a box plot you need to calculate mean, variance and certain percentiles. These values don't make sense if your distribution does not follow a certain shape (because these values unambiguously define such a shape). See the examples in the article for what happens if you still try to use them in those cases. You can still extract the values of course (hence probably why wiki says they don't assume anything), but you lose significant information about the distribution. So you can no longer reverse the process.

If feature Y is incomplete, then sharing a feature branch (which sounds like a road to a messy commit history) doesn't change that. You could also use the unmerged feature branch Y temporarily as a base for X if you need some code from it.

> There something alluring about tweaking a system to be customized in a “perfect” but personally way… but it often only bites you in time. the longer I work with computers the more I appreciate resisting unnecessary connivance tweets, and learn to live with the defaults :)

I find the idea of optimising for being able to work on a brand new computer with default settings ludicrous, because it's completely at odds with the reality that I use the same computers for years on end and hence that's the mode I should optimise for.

As an analogy, if I only leave my home town every once in a while, I'm not going to live out of a suitcase 365 days a year, just to cultivate a sense of virtuous minimalism.
