Oh I see. I either got merged into this discussion from another thread or came here from a dupe link, but I was looking at the product page which didn't seem to talk about it.

Either way, that seems like great news.
The lack of horizontal scrolling in Chrome and most chrome-based browsers drives me absolutely crazy, it's such a basic feature...

Firefox on the other hand has terrible support for profiles, I've been using Arc which is good but has worse performance when working with a lot of tabs (hundreds)

I don’t think the issue is QA related, ST released a chip that says it can perform X when the reality is it can not perform X.
I always avoided German trains when riding in Switzerland: they were often late or canceled, dirty, and full. Especially given that I could take a cleaner, punctual SBB train with the same ticket and for the same price.

I had to add a bit of JS/CSS to get the "satellites" hoverable to my liking. The library gives you circle regions and capsules, and you could wrap each in a link or button tag, but that still leaves dead space between the pie slices. I ended up using some trig and pointer handlers. Not sure if I missed part of the docs, or if that's a consideration for future Orbit versions. Still a great library though.

I prefer to skip straws for most drinks except for bubble tea. Sucking up all those tapioca balls along with the tea is the whole point, otherwise it wouldn't be bubble tea.
Maybe I'm sheltered but I'm baffled by all of these replies. Is this a US thing?

At least in Europe and East-Asia, it's unheard of for any nice restaurant to have straws except for kids. And it's not like women there don't wear lipstick. The image of going for a candlelight dinner and drinking from a straw is something straight out of a comedy sketch to me. I guess if it's a certain kind of cocktail, but that's the only exception. And even then the majority of cocktails won't have straws.

I truly have not been this confused by any HN thread and I've been reading this place almost daily for years.

I guess my initial reaction was wrong: not having code in non-English languages doesn't accurately represent developer sentiments. There's a lot of translation efforts in open source, but again, this is not a good proxy for the sentiment because we don't know how many translators (who care about non-English) set project direction and design protocols.

Still, an anglocentric bubble diminishes internationalization, and I disagree that it's a good thing.

Well... Honestly not much impressed, it's a design from another era.

For the present a desktop should be as "invisible" as possible, like old Ubuntu Unity desktop, a thin bar, a launcher, the rest search&narrow, menu included via the Unity HUD. Gnome SHell doing the opposite on purpose, copying the rest have just showcased another btrfs answer for zfs, or the reactionary behavior of some devs who refuse to operate "under the hood" instead in narcissistically in plain sight try to do their best to keep up an essentially deprecated model.

It is obious that all of these problems are still way too hard, although sometimes it has ideas. It flawlessly demonstrates how to simplify (2002^2002) mod 9.

This is silly. People who talk about wanting to achieve immortality aren't talking about doing it through a genie wish that gets ironically turned against them, leaving them hovering in agony in deep space after the heat death of the universe. Any reasonable discussion of immortality really just means the end of senescence.
I agree: if something requires trying, and we are unable to try, then we will surely not succeed. (And I agree we do not try, but perhaps it requires trying to try, or something weird like that.)

But then look at all we've achieved, and sometimes all it takes is one or two people to try and a new movement is catalyzed, gaining steam over time.

Optimism can also be helpful.
they're complaining now because they still feel the pain now. while writing the article, they're thinking of how things would have been different on previous projects if they had had this chip, and that is digging up pain and they felt it should be expressed.

One of my favorite hybrid vehicle hacks is that you can (using very little gas) pre-cool your vehicle thanks to electrically-driven HVAC, kWHs, and an onboard generator (engine). When my power goes out, I can also run the refrigerator and computers.

> And relatedly, I'm sorry that while you were speeding your brother to the hospital, you blew through a red light you couldn't stop for and caused a three-car pileup that killed an elderly woman.

Firstly, surveilling every person in the world at all times to ensure safety is a gross misapplicaiton of tech that flies in the face of personal freedom and privacy.

Secondly, we're not even talking about authorities surveilling you to prevent safety situations (which would, by itself, already be plenty vile enough). We're talking your insurance company checking on you to make sure your roof doesn't have moss on it, and jacking your price/nuking your policy if they feel your behavior is too "risky," according to a model you (and probably they) don't fully understand how it works.

There's so much wrong with this and if you don't think so I doubt a comment here is going to change your mind. If you place ANY value at all on personal autonomy and privacy, I don't believe it's possible to, at the same time, say your insurance company by virtue of insuring your car, has the right to surveil that car at a time and via a method of their choosing, with no notification, and with no oversight, solely for the purpose of jacking up your price and/or rewriting your contract on the fly. These relationships already heavily, heavily bias in the favor of the corporation. Do they really need YET MORE unearned, unchecked authority in our lives?!
Speaking of Mac OS, it refuses to add any window management beside manual dragging from first versions until today.

I don't think it's the random ads that bother me and others so much, those are easy to tune out. Nobody cares about billboards. Random junk ads on websites are annoying, but I don't think they're doing much societal harm.

On the contrary, it's the hyper targetting of ads, nested in content algorithmically maximixed for engagement, that I object to.

I've worked in the ad industry, so I've certainly heard and appreciate the whole "we're just educating consumers about products they might be interested in" angle. That's fine, academically speaking, if that's all advertising was. However, advertising more often than not attempts to pray on people's emotions to generate demand for a product. And when we know exactly who someone is, it's SO much easier to do that.

As a perfect example, I woke up last Saturday, started scrolling IG, and saw an ad with a photo of a miserable looking middle aged man lying in bed, asking "Are you tired of feeling like a horrible father because of your drinking problems? Try Reframe!" (No idea what the exact phrasing was, but close enough to that.)

Yes, I'd in fact had drinks with friends the night before. And yes, I'm a middle aged dad. I thought the targetting was pretty hilarious, so I laughed and shared it with my wife and friends. But also, Reframe is praying on my feelings of guilt and shame in an attempt to sell me their shitty app.

I can laugh it off, but I'm not so sure your typical teenager could.
Cool, didn't know about TestMem5 until now. Thanks!
Interesting, yeah thinking more about this it probably applies to recycling also. Separating your plastics is mostly useless as they just get shipped to third world countries where they are mostly dumped or burned.

But that act of sorting and shaming others for not doing it definitely makes a certain subset of people feel better about themselves.

There's quite a difference with your example than the exchange you were replying to.

(For what it's worth, I have no problem with people wanting to accessorize their bodies with lipstick. I don't see beauty in those things, but I have no problem with others seeing beauty that way. Ultimately it is a choice though, as people can also decide to be beautiful through their grace, words, actions, etc; not what some company tells them they need.)
Japan is also heavily consolidated compared to other countries.

The largest shareholders for all the privatized rails in Japan are a mixture of Mitsubishi Group, Mitsui Group and Mizuhou Group.

Western anti-trust doesn't allow that level of consolidation - everything is basically owned by a handful of Keiretsu.

I highly recommend reading "Corporate Financing and Governance in Japan" by Takeo Hoshi and Anil Kashyap to learn about this [0].

Show HN: One status page to rule them all (aggregating 3k status pages)
I recently got tired of subscribing to dozens of status pages (Cloudflare, Vercel, Twilio, GitHub, OpenAI) just to stay ahead of the outages that seem to happen almost every week.

So I decided to build https://statussight.com/ - essentially it's an aggregator that crawls 3,000 status pages every minute, so I can see the status of all services and infrastructure in one central place.

I also added the capability to create a custom dashboard so that you can monitor specifically the services that you use.
I built StatusSight using Next.js, with the frontend being deployed to Vercel, and the status page monitor deployed to Hetzner with Coolify.

I think I understand the confusion- awkward sentence construction on my part. I am noting that all of the presidential systems that have collapsed so far have followed the exact same pattern. I am not sayin that all presidencies are autocracies, but of the presidencies that have already become autocracies, they all granted more & more executive power to the president due to real or imagined 'emergencies'.

I am not Juan Linz and I do not think having a president means we will automatically become an autocracy, but am more saying 'hey this is like the main danger to watch out for'
I’m not sure it’s the length of our actual lifespan that matters as much as how we experience the passing of time.

I believe that our human experience of the passing of time intervals is exponential with age.

With this view, if we lived 1 million years, our lives would probably still feel too short due to the acceleration of time we experience as we age.
Congrats! Your eyes are ours now.

Well, yes, you have to replace free() and calloc()/realloc() too. Sorry, didn't think that needed spelling out.

Isn't that generally what alternate custom allocators do, though? Like dmalloc and jemalloc?
Can those "tab containers" be collapsed into 1 "fake" tab with the container name and uncollapsed back into full tabs by clicking on that "fake" tab?
> IIRC adding 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 to your hosts file helps ?

Yup because typically you're not running a webserver on 0.0.0.0, especially not one that listen on ports 80/443 (say in dev you may be listening to 8080 or something).

I mean: on Linux if you ping 0.0.0.0 (or the shortcut "ping 0"), you'll be getting answers from 127.0.0.1.

But as I don't run a webserver on my machine (except a dev one at times, on a specific port which is not 80/443/8080 etc.), routing domains to 0.0.0.0 still works.

I also used in the past dnsmasq to automatically reply NX_DOMAIN when the browser attempts to resolve 0.0.0.0 but atm I'm not even bothering (maybe I should do it again after reading TFA though).

P.S: it's another aging brain answering, so take this with a grain of salt
I wouldn't expect windows to prevent creating further executable pages; there are legitimate use cases for creating dynamically allocated executable memory. It just means that whatever foreign data you load into those pages can't execute, which is a security mechanism (for example, game save data can be loaded into these heaps so that you can load all game state but without the save file potentially running foreign code)
Containers separate context for the websites, e.g. you can log in to the same site with different account at the same time.

Simple Tab Groups separates context for the user, i.e. hides the tabs of inactive groups (while also supporting containers). It's not the same thing.
He's suing an NGO-like agency (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) that includes a lot of advertisers who coordinated to prevent the purchasing of buying ad space on the platform. So not exactly his customers but someone that should have been representing the interests of potential customers.

People are getting thrown in prison for years for things like throwing a trash can at a police officer. Like thrown directly in prison: arrest->trial->sentencing->appeal->incarceration is all happening in the span of a few days and the UK is actually attempting to make it illegal to talk about on social media! This is in addition to giving actual rape and murder perpetrators slow-walked trials, house arrest or just non-investigations.

The EU lawsuit just seems weird. I'm not sure why they would care so much about that one. The checkmark change was highly publicized and I don't think it mattered to anyone but celebrities and attention-seeking figures anyways. Government officials and other critically important people/organizations still get a verification.

I will say, the integrated tiling and being able to also break out is nice imo. I actually like the gnome based cosmic enhancements that Pop has done in the past and have been following the COSMIC development with a lot of interest. I wouldn't mind seeing a relatively simple app... maybe Calculator, with libCOSMIC so I can have an idea of a getting started level of such an app with Rust. It's harder to start with more complex apps as an example to look at or work from.

I agree that it could use some more polish. I'd also like to see the bulk of the icons (re)generated from a primary and secondary accent color as well. They look out of place as you may tweak the colors. A unimenu and kde theme generation are also things I'd like to see sooner than later.

> Typing on an ortholinear keyboard is sheer bliss in comparison.

I'm curious why. It never occurred to me that this would be a source of discomfort. If I look at how I have my hands on the keyboard, they are angled anyway - my torso is wider than the keyboard center, elbows rest on the arm rests, so the hands then kinda meet in the middle angled. It doesn't look like an orthogonal layout would be particularly advantagenous.

Otherwise, I think keyboards are a case of "good enough" and high transition costs compared to the benefits. I'm a software dev, so certainly above average in the amount of typing I do. But I can't even type with all ten fingers, yet it never seemed like a bottleneck. I can't "outtype" my thought anyway.
800 * 480 * 16bit * 30fps = 23million bytes written out to the screen per second. Don't even look at higher resolutions, it's literally exponential in bandwidth. Video takes a lot of data. The highest resolutions and framerates put the fastest network speeds to shame.

A CPU just plain can't do this. Even if you want to pretend it's one cycle per pixel the realtime constraints at higher resolutions are way out of the realm of feasible. We struggle to do CPU driven audio in realtime as-is (Audio is measured in Khz of bandwidth rather than Mhz).

You can do this at very low resolutions easily enough (again it's exponential with resolution increase) but then you have a low resolution screen.
I mean you can race the beam yeah, probably easier because you have two cores, but a framebuffer is easier for developers to work with.

We've already got literal lab-rats, if that's what someone is planning to do. Human trials are pretty pointless if you don't do them realistically. (Not that this means nobody will do them, the Tuskegee study happened, but it was also low-value in addition to being unethical).

> Yeah, no. First that is not necessary for full automation.

It's a sub-set of what's necessary for full automation, as full automation requires anything that a human can do, and we can already do "build robot".

If machines cannot make robots, people will be paid to make robots, and then it won't be fully automated.

> Second. It's a replicator, not a magic entropy defying system. Energy for it has to come from somewhere and they aren't free.

Entropy doesn't need to be defied, magic is un-called-for. We are an existence proof of this.

Giant fusion reactor in the sky that will, if left to its own devices, probably give us gradually increasing power for about five times longer than our atmosphere will last. And it's only "probably" because there's a reasonable chance Earth gets ejected from the solar system over that time scale.

And before you say it PV is also a thing that we can do and thus a thing that must be fully automatable in any economy deserving of the description "fully automated".

But it doesn't need to last that long; if such a thing takes a year to make a copy of itself, then even limited to the surface of the Earth it would be able to make the last doubling, 4 billion units, if the construction had an energy budget of 247.7 GWh: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28%286000km%29%5E2*pi*...

28.276 megawatts on average for a year is considerably more than we use to reach adulthood, even in countries with high per-capita usage. Biologically speaking, it's about 15700 times the energy consumption we need to reach adulthood (and the disparity is even more severe for, say, a dog which reproduces significantly younger than a human), and we get that energy and those materials by eating plants or animals that ate plants, which is also a clearly sufficient source of both materials and energy that this planet can provide without violating entropy or being magic.
I think it’s very unlikely that Starliner will ever fly again, regardless of the ultimate outcome of this mission.
