It's a weird turn of event that OS X stayed a much more classic os than what Windows 8 was becoming. I remember that for a long time OS X was wasting less screen estate than Windows 8 and all that mix that was Windows 10.

But since Big Sure it means that it got even worse than what It was with the first version of OS X.
I remember how crazy it was it setup a mac emulator, set it's resolution to my mac's resolution, full screen mode, and see how much space you could have with classic Mac OS, it's just crazy and everything remains legible.

Suddenly the windows desktop metaphor makes more sense because you can actually have many windows next to each other.
OS X has almost always tried to diverge from than, that lead to great things like exposé, spaces and then mission control but it looks like they never considered to reduce elements size.

There are many "design systems" you can use. Here are a few recommendations:

https://tailwindcss.com is known for utility-class based styling, but it's also a nice-looking design system.

In fact, they wrote a book: https://www.refactoringui.com

> Make your ideas look awesome, without relying on a designer.

> Learn how to design beautiful user interfaces by yourself using specific tactics explained from a developer's point-of-view.

---

https://clarity.design gives you:

- A nice-looking default/base design (basic responsive layout, styling, sizes, colors, icons, (light/dark) themes...)

- Pretty comprehensive UX guidelines (like when to use a snackbar vs alert vs toast vs banner vs modal[1])

- Framework agnostic web components (there is a slight bias towards Angular and even React/Vue)

---

While not as comprehensive, https://picocss.com is my default go-to for giving my sites/apps nice-looking default styling with almost no work. Pico CSS is more of a semantic CSS library, but it is also a bit of a design system.

---

https://getbootstrap.com is probably one of the most used design systems.

What do you hope I infer by reading this snippet?

I interpret this as a benign / dual-purpose comms channel between a subsidiary (who runs an app) and the parent company (who likely made a platform/shared components that the subsidiary uses).

Edit: I re-read the article. Your snippet isn’t useful to understand the suit, but the 2 paragraphs are very relevant.
I've seen many people treat software like some sort of art project, and spend much time refactoring things, rewriting perfectly functioning systems, and generally creating little to nothing of value and generating tons of meaningless churn.

While the article doesn't offer specific examples, it's probably talking about this sort of stuff. e.g. "perfecting code, often code that hadn’t been touched in years and didn’t need to be touched". This sounds like a classic "oh, this isn't how I would have written it, so let me just refactor everything here".

"Not how I would have written it" does not equal "bad".

This isn't making the code better, less bug-free, or "more perfect" in any way. Actually, it often introduces bugs.
Yes, quite the epitome of throwing stones from a glass house.
14c here in Spain yeah. Some countries like the Netherlands are a lot higher but they painted themselves in a corner with gas dependence. At the same time Russian imports became politically unviable their own gas fields became untenable due to earthquakes. Prices went up to 50-100c per kWh and I believe still hover around the 40c level there.

Most of the electricity there isn't generated by gas but they also stimulated electric heat pump heating heavily leading to a huge pressure on the grid.

But anyway I live in Spain now so I don't care :P
Claude is much better at these tasks. Look at WebSim for an example.
Beyond crazy. I even have a small app that never makes it to production before being rolled out to internal and open testing first. And, even then, it's slowly rolled out to a percentage at each stage before being fully deployed. One would think a major company with kernel level access would do this at minimum.
I've used Wanderlog to plan some trips recently, and they have an "Auto-fill day" feature there. I don't know if I'd trust it because it doesn't really know my interests, budget, etc.

I was also recently in a beta for Google Maps on Android that could generate itineraries, but it was mostly trash and I stopped using it. Not sure if they ever made that live.
Using shorter intervals could be a premium feature.
I think sueing MS for the behavior that ensued when people installed a rootkit directly into the kernel and opened all the ports on their network to let that rootkit get used, is... excessive. Both MS and CS should have had a fail to previous good kernel ability, but the negligence here is clearly with CS for not even trying a blank data file in the automated tests for a piece of safety critical software, and then not using canary deployments before pushing to millions of devices.
Do you happen to have a list of that "loooong history" of botched (security) updates?

I can only find a couple of examples after googling, which a bit smaller than a "loooong history" you're talking about, so unless Microsoft is paying Google to delete results, maybe you're mistaken.
I'm angry at ChatGPT and the like polluting the web, academia and people's minds.
> Crowdstrike already runs in user-mode on both Mac and Linux (from what I can tell),

Crowdstrike provides a Linux kernel module, and expects users to manually install an extra Secure Boot key for it, as part of their corporate laptop setup procedure.

This has always seemed inadvisable to me, but checkbox checkers gotta check checkboxes I guess.
It also doesn't happen in Chrome in Android. I do not know why one browser would trigger that code path while another would not, perhaps they all trigger the code but most of them discard JS induced navigation events that fire during a page load.
The brain doesn't have a CPU-like architecture doing symbolic reasoning. In fact, we now offload this kind of reasoning to computers because they do. If you want to create human-level AI, this is not the way. You'll be able to create really powerful and useful niche systems like Deepmind has, but not a truly general reasoning machine.
To clarify, my comment was directed at chatGPT itself, not your project.
The advanced class had the same 13wpm code requirement as the general but added a difficult technical element to the exam suite. When I took it back at an FCC office I found it to be the hardest test of all.

> The fastest level of homebuilding in NYC was in the 1950s. Strictest rent control? Also 1950s

NYC's (as well as those in other American cities like Boston, Detroit, and San Francisco) massive development push in the 1950s was also infamous for using eminent domain to do this mass construction at the expense of African American neighborhoods - and displaced African American residents were not resettled in these projects [0][1][2][3]

Was their bright idea here really:

- remove conviniene for employees

- employees get more tired

- sales decline

- store justifies shut down

Seems like quite the stretch, just to not want to bargain with labor. I 100% believe it, but it's just sad. This all happened because businesses are stingy with paying employees properly.
Perfectionism is not a fix for this. Indeed, perfectionism can be a cause, by diverting energy and attention away from critical things toward polishing the spot on the wall in the basement while the load bearing walls and electrical wiring remains unaddressed.

I would argue that perfectionism is also about an inability to prioritize, something which, in the real word with all its time limits, will bite you.
Good point. Can totally see the loaf gentrifying.-

This is a company whose OS could not even be installed on a live network without getting rooted within a few minutes. Anybody who was paying attention knew that you didn't use any new Windows release until at least the first service pack had come out.

I haven't been ghosted much but I generally call companies before I apply for a job. It's a litmus test for me of how shit they are. No number to call or no person to talk to in person about the role then there is no point applying.

Try it sometime. Only apply to jobs you can jump on the blower and speak to someone about. Completely disregard employers and employment firms that don't have a point of contact that results in a person. They aren't worth your time. Also question the person if they will get back to you. Legit put the onus on the company to not ghost you. Call them back after your application has been in for say a week past deadline.

If the company your applying to can't handle all of that. Likelihood you will get ghosted during application is high. Not to mention their work environments probably toxic af if they can't manage to maintain basic manners and respect to their prospective employees.

Apply the same when pushing for contract jobs or work of any form. Set the standards you want.
while the outage did economic damages north of $5 billion

If you're going to measure the dollar value cost of their errors as a cost of CrowdStrike being in business, shouldn't you balance that against the dollar value of savings from the attacks they've stopped?

30 fps should not be acceptable given a 4090. Remember, most people have cards that are barely 15% the performance of a 4090, or less. The fact that almost all modern titles target the 4090 is a huge problem; only a very small number like Roblox actually understand how to optimize.
On the plus side, that's $8 more than they would've gotten in class action coupons.
Poor AMD their bulldozer architecture got so much flak for not including SMT and now everyone's moving away from it.

Yes yes I know bulldozer had a bunch more issues than just no SMT. It actually had the exact opposite with multiple cores sharing the same ALU or something like that. But still they could have been onto something if they had made it marginally more performant.
>Both should work together on different interests sometimes but shall fundamentally agree: without a successful business there won’t be any employees, not the other way around.

And that social contract was broken some 6-10 years ago at this point. Businesses can be successful, record breaking profits successful. But still refuse a raise or even lay you off to save a penny.

So the increased opposition is inevitable. You can't just lie saying "times are tough", cut hours and and pretend unemployment is at an all time low, and not expect your labor to resent the business.

> JS can share data between threads, but must convert it all to string

To be more precise, you can send data to web workers and worker threads by copying via the structured clone algorithm (unlike JSON this supports almost all data types), and you can also move certain transferable objects between threads which is a zero-copy (and therefore much faster) operation.

Ask HN: Are GPT wrapper companies "AI" companies?
I’m wondering if there is a consensus on this one. I see many companies have AI in their name and call themselves AI companies, but when I look into how their product works, it is mostly just making API calls and prompt engineering. Is this what an “AI company” is?

And as a follow up question, what would you call a company that was training original ML models (not even just LLMs)? Is that also an “AI” company and if so, should we draw a distinction?
The data starts at 1979, before Reagan’s major tax reform in 1986: “In contrast, the effective federal tax rate for the top 1 percent has remained relatively high over this period, ranging between 25 and 35 percent since 1979.”

Reagan’s tax reform wasn’t a gimmick: it broadened the tax base (to encompass more kinds of income) and lowered rate to keep the effective tax rate basically the same.

The biggest problem is we simply doesn’t tax enough. We want to grow the scope of our government to be more like Europe, but we aren’t willing to tax the middle and upper middle class the way they do in Europe. We had an au pair from Germany. Our effective tax rate in a blue state as a dual income professional couple was the same as she paid at her entry level office job.
what about the bitcoin cash fork, that increased block size to 8mb? What about Segwit2x?
Rent control reduces development, state funded housebuilding increases development. So state funded housebuilding ameliorates the effect of rent control, it doesn't eliminate it.

State funded housebuilding without rent control would maximize new development, and the additional housing would put downward pressure on rents providing much of the benefit of rent control without the drawbacks.
That actually crossed my mind. But judging from the article, whatever it was, it wasn't much of an experience either ...
> there was no good reason at all why CrowdStrike

Their business is corporate spyware to surveil employees, ofcourse they'll use any tactic to make it work, that's the why. And their EULA states there is no liability for the company:

https://www.crowdstrike.com/terms-conditions/

Dirty policies on top of dirty practices.
So it's not biological significance... You are born loving the sound “shush,” white noise. This is also the great irony of people complaining about distortion and thick bassy kick beats, we actually like it because it's warm and “takes us back”: indeed even to the noisy slushy womb and the heartbeat there.

Rather it's that things that hit one tone either also tickle the hairs in your organ of Corti at 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x the frequency (strings) or at 3x, 5x, 7x, 9x the frequency (half-open acoustic resonators—guitar bodies, panflutes), and your brain feels comfortable when those tickle together as they are familiar.
This is fascinating, thank you for the info! If I am understanding, it would have then been difficult/impossible for CrowdStrike to create a user-mode only sensor without these equivalent APIs.

So I guess I'm not sure I see validity in the claims of those blaming the EU here. It seems as though the EU would have allowed Microsoft to kick users out of kernel-space if they had APIs that allowed making security products in user-space. Like Linux/Mac already appear to have.
Examples like that one I also found, but that's not really a "looooong list". If people can only show one single example as an argument it's kind of a moot point.
I’ve seen it claimed that the project has led to to a way of doing a numerical simulation of GR which is, in some cases more efficient?

If true, that still seems like something of merit, even if the project doesn’t give any progress in fundamental understanding of physics?

Maybe, rather than as they hope, being a path towards a theory of everything, it could instead be a path towards a framework for understanding good ways to do numerical simulations that respect causality, while not necessarily doing all of one time coordinate everywhere (in some reference frame) before computing later times anywhere?
I write Rust mostly, but still found the article interesting and accessible.
A goods recession has been on for a while because the supply shock of the pandemic lead to greedflation and consumers getting less and switching to cheaper brands or just forgoing purchases. And all the layoffs basically put people in a state where they have less and spend less because they expect the recession to get worse for them. And that further pulls the rest of the economy into a recession. Its almost like if you have no consumers, you have no business...

> Not if the state funds housebuilding

Chicago, Detroit, and NYC all tried that and abandoned it due to cost overruns, corruption, high liabilities, and the limiting of eminent domain powers following the civil rights movement - most urban housing projects were built by demolishing historically African American neighborhoods, and the resulting structures were segregated (as James Baldwin eloquently pointed out in 1963 during the height of the civil rights movement)

The same thing happened in Western Europe as well with France and the UK abandoning similar urban housing projects.

Singapore and HK are unique in that the governments are authoritarian and can kick people out with minimal notice or recourse if they really want to.

The biggest blocker is always going to be land acquisition - either we reject the entire notion that you have property rights and the right to recourse, or you accept that these basic civil liberties are a requirement for a democracy and thus building will have to be done by the private sector because unlocking public funds would take 3-5 years on top of 2-3 years of construction.

For a more recent example, look at China's urban renewal projects in the 2000s and 2010s, and how local governments would use forced evictions as well as minimal compensation and occasionally shooting protesters [0][1][2] or the mass evictions in Beijing in 2017-18 [3] - this was how Housing Projects were built across America from the 1930s-1960s.

Opposition to that policy was also a major reason why Xi Jinping was initially quite popular, because he was opposed to these kinds of projects at scale, and Fujian never saw the kind of mass demolitions that you'd see in other Chinese provinces.
