Far above and beyond issues of privacy and attention, my primary concern with internet ads today is malicious content. There is simply too high a volume of deceptive—or outright malware-laden—ads to feel comfortable allowing them to render in my browser. It’s not even an edge case hiding in dark corners of the internet, search ads at the top of Google results are consistently used for phishing and other fraud.

The incentives are all wrong for ad networks to address the issue. As long as websites use third-party networks which themselves let anyone sign up and buy ads, it will continue. Doing too much vetting of ads or KYC on advertisers cuts into the bottom line. I don’t think all that much about privacy issues with ad measurement, because all of my browsers, those of the friends and family I advise, and those of the companies whose security policies I am responsible for, will block ads for the foreseeable future.
Isn't this something that the compositor should do?
We've said the same thing the day Node.js was invented and look where we are now. Whatever you build based on these bad ideas _is_ that special hell.
In the early days of web, tables were the goto for layouts with Web1.0. They could get really complicate so Macromedia's tools using Fireworks to slice the images and Dreamweaver to manipulate the HTML were great places to start. But as you said, after doing it enough you start to see all of the baggage/weight that these tools added to the HTML. I eventually got to the point of writing it by hand which would eliminate all of that extra "crap" that these tools added. Every byte saved was very important during the days of dial-up.
I propose that the fines should be based on what the data would be sold for on a dark web forum. These breaches should be exponentially more expensive, which would incentivize companies to retain less sensitive data.

For whatever reason, it's a strip I was aware of but didn't really appreciate until later in life.

This is absolutely moronic. YouTube is not Verizon. What don't you understand about "Verizon account settings"? Or is this simply compulsive pugnacity?

Go pick on someone else.

And for those who might be infected by the above attempt at erroneous convolution: Placing a SIM in a phone and paying the service bill is all that should be required to receive advertised service standards with any carrier. Having to apply credentials and log into to a Verizon account to seek out deliberately obfuscated options (that shouldn't exist) isn't good business. And having to make an FCC complaint to be informed of such options is also pretty ridiculous. Alas

Lack of a standard way to control standard stream buffering is a big pain point for me sometimes. I'm still salty the libc+environment based approach was rejected by maintainers. And it also cannot be fixed on the kernel side since buffering is purely userspace feature.

Developing on Windows: Comparing Native, MinGW, Cygwin, WSL
Sometimes I use the project management tool's issue/task comments for notes on what I'm thinking. Other times, comments in the code. Other times, the relevant page in the startup's wiki.

Sometimes the intermediate notes want to evolve to more polished documentation and/or code, and other times it wants to be preserved in a very lightweight way.

What's important is that information you or others might later need is captured in a way that's accessible when you need it.

Make it a practice, and it's negligible additional effort.

> Doesn't drinking so much water dilute stomach acid? Do you feel changes of digestion?

I guess it differs from person to person, but for me, I actually still feel thirsty after I'm done with the loo, even though I just drank a liter of water previously. Never in my life did I have a feeling where drinking water would slow down my digestion. In my personal experience it is quite the opposite: the more water I drink, the faster my metabolism goes. On the other hand, the more sugar I eat, the slower my metabolism goes.

The first and second times I visited KFC in the US I was shocked there were no vegetables in their sandwiches. Other than the corn, and coleslaw, no lettuce or other ingredients in the sandwiches. In europe, and China and any other country I’ve seen KFC they have amazing Zinger sandwiches with lattice and sauces and grea flavor. We make it a point to never go to KFC in the US.

I remember eating KFC in Japan, about 15 years ago, and it was markedly better than we get in Canada.
This sounds so similar to certain productivity dogmas that were mentioned already in the comments and I know that some people get extremely obsessed with those methods and that in the end that might become precisely a productivity obstacle.

But honestly I have been doing exactly what the author claims work for him, just write what you are doing and you “feel” is going to be useful later, this very thing that just happened in the command line is a clue to the complete puzzle.
And it’s funny that this is exactly what those productivity dogmas describe as “second brain” in my perspective you just take what works for you from those methods.

I think you just have to try it, although it seems like that’s a waste of time and that you will never see that note again just write it save it and maybe the next month when you come back to the same exact problem those notes will be pure gold, yea I know most of those notes are going to be just a bunch of bytes never to be seen again but when they are useful you will be so thankful that you did it.
You mean sleight, not slight. That’s no slight on you, anyone can make a slight mistake.

That said, the way you put it sounds cruel. Is it your claim that a cull wasn’t necessary or that not culling would have left more birds alive long term?
Fun fact: After selling out in the US, Colonel Sanders moved to Mississauga, Ontario, Canada to oversee the Canadian operations to ensure that the quality was of his liking.

When I grew up in the 80s in Canada, KFC was incredible, as were all of their items. At age 12, I scored a job working there too. During that time was when they announced their crispy chicken variant in Canada and "new taste" - but what we saw were new flour bags (we had to throw out the original flour bags), new oil in the cookers, new processes (no more soaking the chicken for 15 min before frying), and gravy that was made from a soup packet.

And while the chicken tasted the same, it was far more greasy and disgusting to handle compared to beforehand - and everyone noticed. I remember our manager telling us "Well I guess we now have to make it US style. But our prepared cost went from 11 cents per piece to 8 cents per piece after all bills are paid."

"Manage to get stuff done" is not the goal of a student. Students need to learn.

Thanks for articulating that. I was groping around for something along those lines — going beyond easy self-hosted to local-first deployment. Considering the web3 origins, I wonder if the project founders had that in mind as well.

There was a different, recent HN post about scoped propogators, which I find to have a lot of good potential for people to write and apply local customizations for their own apps.

I don’t know if those are the killer use case for this, but I think ideas along these lines takes it further out of alignment with incentives for business models.
I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes collections in the back seat of the car on family vacations. I was 14 when the strip ended so I had lots of historical material to go through at the book stores (!).

We have the anthology at home, I think it’s time to introduce the kids (6 & 9) to Watterson, although my son is already an expert at Calvinball without even knowing it.

What struck me reading this piece was thinking about how all the constraints that Watterson faced just don’t exist today, as he pointed out with his “click of the mouse” comment. Constraints can often lead to creative solutions, I wonder where Calvin and Hobbes would go in today’s landscape.

i bought a Steam Deck last year and r/SteamDeck has been incredibly resourceful when it comes to game recommendations! some of the games are playable in both PC/Deck

i used to enjoy playing games to catch up with friends, but now that i'm getting older, i find that playing indie games solo is really refreshing. i love the freedom to pause whenever i need to and not feel obligated to keep playing if i'm not feeling it. there's zero guilt for not showing up.

2 games that i highly recommend: Slay the Spire and Faster Than Light. they're both turn-based games that are perfect for unwinding. nothing beats a pint of beer and Slay the Spire on a Friday night :)

> In the long term we might plausibly find an economic equilibrium where humans are not worth feeding.

This is looking at it completely backward: from the idea that the purpose of humans is the work that they do.

Humans are the ones that make the purpose; therefore, the only logical foundation is the opposite, that the purpose of work is to serve humans.

When you look at it from that perspective, many things become clear, not least of which being that if we no longer need humans to perform the work necessary to create all that we desire, humanity is free to do whatever we like while the machines keep up well-supplied.

This is only a problem if you subscribe to the idea that humans without mandated work are inherently "bad" somehow. ("Idle hands are the Devil's playground", etc)

TextMagic: A Next Generation of Text Input Based on Skia and Canvas
TextMagic is the next generation text component. Unlike native input and textarea components, it supports richer text effects and typesetting capabilities. By controlling text layout autonomously, it ensures consistent text display across different platforms and browsers. TextMagic follows a modular design approach, offering both an integrated component(@text-magic) for seamless integration and standalone components for specific needs: @text-magic/input for text input and @text-magic/renderer for text typesetting and rendering.

> My takeaway is that Sanders cared about serving quality fast food, and KFC corporate cared about reducing costs and doing brand necromancy. The upshot is you won't get KFC chicken at KFC, just a pale, cheap imitation of the original

Assuming that's the case, the anecdote in the article of him walking into the kitchen in a random KFC and berating the people for making the chicken the was they did seems a bit unfair; it's not like the random people working there had any choice in the corporate policies or autonomy to choose to make the chicken in a different way. I get that he was frustrated and that this wasn't the only way he tried to fight the changes, but it shouldn't be that hard to have a little empathy for the presumably minimum wage workers who are just there to earn a paycheck.
I'll absolutely reference an issue number in a comment (with some context comments as well) in cases where it makes sense.

Sometimes you need to go back and read through a lot of context understanding why a block of code does what it does, and it's a lot more efficient for the rest of the time to have a quick reference to the full explanation rather than pages of comments giving that context.
With a creature as big as a modern government, there isn't as much contradiction in such claims as it sounds, especially if considered with regard to the task at hand. Tasks differ.

If a modern government wants an $unpopular_group exterminated, they can probably do so with brutal efficiency, given the tools at their disposal and the overall balance of power between the state and individuals.

If a modern government wants to win a war, well, half of those governments lose, because the other side is usually way more powerful than a random $unpopular_group.

If a modern government wants to achieve some nebulous goal such as "defeat disinformation" or "root out racism", I would bet on a spectacular bumbling failure with a lot of graft every time.
Sure. And even better served by a suitable number of F16s (in service 1980).

My sister just came to visit me in Tokyo and asked what to bring as a gift... I said, "If you can, please bring my Calvin and Hobbes collection for my kids to read." My 10 and 6 year olds have been devouring them ever since.

There is something electric and timeless about these strips. I am certain they don't understand all of the vocabulary but still they read it. It is a format that lures kids in and then uses that attention it has earned to stretch minds. Re-reading it as an adult also rings true in a totally different way. Calvin's parents become sympathetic compatriots.

It's smarter than most adults but captivates kids. It is a decade of work that deserves all the awards that could possibly be given.

I guess you mean "management by walking around"? For perspective, we had TQM in the '90s, which consisted of orders to tell TQM consultants that we knew where the TQM manuals were at, if we couldn't otherwise avoid "The TQM Bobs".

Did they have to reduce cost or is there any other reason to not stick 20TB of SSDs in a box and call it a day? 4TB SSDs only cost ~$300, even HP or Dell SFF drives aren't much more expensive.

Unfortunately not! I do very similar workflows honestly but have basically defaulted to the norm or compromises like:
