I don't think the world should abandon HTML, nor break backwards compatibility across the HTML spec. The first cars drove on roads designed for horses, and horses are still around. At no time did we gather a committee and decree that horses were deprecated.

Taken to an extreme, "don't break backwards compatibility" has an insidious failure mode, which is "don't innovate." The car could not have come about without a willingness to break backwards compatibility with horse drawn carriages, plows, mills, hitching posts, etc.

The adoption of a radically new technology like this is voluntary, collaborative, and progressive. Provided it offers enough value to exceed the switching costs, there's no need to kill efforts or bury knowledge bases.
I think modern dating via apps made this very transparent: if you're usually paying for dates (or even if you're splitting) you will start to develop an intuition for some kind of cost per interaction and this can be quite important if you're dating in any kind of volume because the expenditure can add up. Eg I had someone tell me in NYC they're spending almost 1k a week on dating.

That's obviously an extreme example but when your expenditure is that high it necessitates being analytical about how you're spending your time and money.

Then if you already had that mindset, it's natural to see how it can extend into relationships (and friends and family).

Ultimately, relationships are about give and take and we can only give as much as we can give etc. But there's always some implicit assumption of parity and even if you don't care for perfect parity, it's worth doing the audit once in a while to assess whether you're happy being a net giver or a net taker or if you need a reset because relationships of all natures can and have been broken over money.

These days there are 10s of 1000s of radio stations with a web presence. From all over the world. Some have live DJs, some use automation, some have special syndicated programs. Over the years I've tried out many hundreds of them for an hour or two. Some are great! Many have multiple programs each day at regular times. It's a whole 'nother world. Some are college stations, some are long-time businesses like SOMA-FM.

I use VLC to listen to them (go to the 'Media' heading, select 'Open Media stream' and paste the URL ... instant play) , and to make a playlist to group stuff by genre or source-type.

Audio-quality-wise, if that's a concern, their bit-rates can vary from 50k to 320k. VLC can tell you that. Not a problem; if I don't like what I'm hearing today, I have lots of lossless favorites from my collection on a drive.

SOMA-FM has a great selection of genres you can try for starters. Or take a walk on the wild side by searching here [0], a site where all station info has been entered by users... including many that might be in your own neighborhood. Copy the URL and plug it into VLC.

I understand the sentiment. I don't think Python can satisfy one group of devs without loosing another, so the best way forward would be to stay true to itself while allowing those groups to adapt it to their expectations. I too have my own little wishes like having an option to turn off GIL much earlier. Python has become such a popular language that it's now harder to steer that ecosystem in one direction or the other.
There should be hundreds of billions of dollars being invested into building out rail, and phasing down cars in every major city. Footpaths and bike lanes cost 1/100th as much as roads for cars, investing in EVs is shortsighted.

EVs are better than ICE cars (mostly - I'm not sold on battery trucks and EV utility vehicles), but kerosene lamps are better than whale-oil lamps and yet both should be replaced by light bulbs as broadly and quickly as possible.

Sodium batteries are cool as heck, I'd love to see them in UPSes.

Companies like OnlyFans that exploit people's loneliness and vulnerability should not exist. There needs to be a ban on these virtual narcotics just as there is on real ones.

This company gives nothing back to society except misery and addiction.

Gambling in the UK is quite heavily regulated, though. That includes deposit limits, forced loss limits, max bets, min period between bets - stuff like that.

A couple of years ago the New Yorker (I believe) had a story about an accomplished university professor that fell for a romance scam that financially ruined him.

There might be just a couple of different forms of intelligence but there are plenty ways to be stupid and one does not preclude the other.

EDIT: I tried to find the article, but apparently so many accomplished university professors fall for romance scams that it is hopeless.

EDIT: Found it. Wasn't in The New Yorker, but The New York Times Magazine

I think this should include (2022) in the title.
I am not sure that anyone is trying to discourage people from entering the field of type and design. A child's handwriting (or indeed mine, which is very child-like) can be read but that does not mean that it is readable. In order for the consumption of type to be a pleasurable experience, its design must be considered. Design involves the consideration of the space between foreground elements, the contrast of foreground and background elements, the grouping of foreground elements into familial sets (e.g. beginning, middle and end) etc. People have been concerned with this subject for millennia...

Western fonts derive from Roman lettering which were carved in stone. The dedication inscription at the bottom of Trajan's Column is arguably the most sophisticated example of this. The text at the top of the inscription is larger than that at the bottom so as to appear perceptually uniform from the point of view of the viewer (who is located significantly below the inscription).

Letter forms are weighted towards the bottom. The designers of Bauhaus (who were very reductive in their thinking) tried to do away with this and produced super-regular typefaces based on squares and circles. They quickly realized that this produced a result that humans find unappealing and unreadable.

The digital age saw the adoption of characters that were dimensionally uniform (i.e. monospaced fonts), such as employed in the comment widget of HN. Of course such fonts are easy to digitally express, but as I am sure you will agree for a printed document the effect is clunky and lacks flow.

It is this ongoing dedication to form, structure and readability that is at the heart of effective typography.

I am not a typographer, but have worked with many in my job. I often mock-up page layouts and show it to my designer for their approval. Of course, I think I have done a marvelous job, but their response is always the same: 'yeh, really nice. However, maybe you change this space, this color, this font etc etc'. The result is always 100 times better.

Thank you. One note about the «Very Embarrassing item»: all purchases (in context) are private.

But: if the "purchased item" column is filled in the database of the credit card expenses, it means that the shop receiving the payment has transmitted the information. This is an unrequired deliberate action... The credit card company could just receive "Card ...1234 to pay 20u to Acme Inc. shop". That the shop transmit further information to the credit card company is a further action that should be made transparent to the card owner.
Usually us plebs use the system python.

With no python version manager (I don’t even know any off the top of my head).

Also virtualenvs only get you so far, I’ve come back to many projects on my machine with broken virtualenvs, I guess due to some dynamically linked dependency of python that my system no longer has.

Wordle sold for $1+ million. An average word game with a unique hook like "my grandma made it" is well positioned to sell or at least attract a lot of viral traffic.

Anyway, the grandma story has been exposed as fake.
Interesting how the reasoning is on the UI/algo side when it should be about how artists are treated. I "quit" Spotify or any other streaming service without even subscribing to them.

My wife and I recently did a model for how we expect our expenditure to increase once we have kids. We obviously will love our children but we find it irresponsible to not have done the exercise of how much our kids will cost per year (and what that means for our own personal savings etc).

Firefox will also switch to manifest v3, although Mozilla claims they will use non-inferior api. Only Brave may never be affected, because it uses a native built-in ad blocker.
I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but this is peak plebeian. I means to me you don't know how to appreciate music on a deep level, that you solely listen to "greatest hits" or genres/artists too base to be able to (or too commercial to even want to) create an album with an overarching aesthetic vision; not even talking about concept album, just having purpose in differences between tracks while still cultivating a similar sound and atmosphere.

I know, I know, this sounds way too pretentious and elitist...

I used to run a social media management firm where we catered to real estate agents. For 12 dollar an hour, me and my partner would manage personal facebook and instagram accounts of realtors and small business owners but mostly realtors. We would pretend to be them, interact with people, add new friends and maintain a CRM of influential facebook acquitances they had. We had better virtual relationship with complete strangers then our realtors had in real life. To us it was the same. We pretended to be charasmatic and took risks in social communications that we wouldn't in real life. People trusted the person they thought they were talking to and recommended them as a realtor to their friends. We journaled their birthdays, anniversary and any significant thing in the CRM.

It was a win, win and win.

But at the end of the day real estate market crashed and we had an incredibly hard time to convince new clients that these business model actually works.
If only it was just that type of situation.

There are the ‘I must be a stay at home mom/dad because I can’t handle the stress’ type situations.

There are the ‘I need to buy x we can’t afford to be happy’ type situations.

There are the ‘we have kids now and he/she can’t leave, so I can do whatever I want’ type situations.

I had someone actively sabotage my job (in a very difficult to detect way) because they were worried I’d leave them if I was too ‘independent’, or got promoted.

And I’ve seen many other people have spouses do that to them too. Everything from dramatically increasing stress levels at home, to sabotaging sleep, or creating health issues until the spouse stopped ‘getting away’. All the way up to creating false accusations and trying to destroy them unless they got ‘under control’.

As far as I know, gambling is quite heavily regulated everywhere. This isn't gambling though, for obvious reasons. Nothing is being gambled.
I wonder if it can be challenged in ICJ, if any of the countries previously considered safe would follow it to the letter regarding mass surveillance. As for security research and whistleblowing, that may be covered by laws as legitimate activities making them outside of the scope (and that would be much better approach).
“We had a really close relationship,” he told Reuters. “I trusted her.” He even tattooed her birthdate over his heart – “at least what I believe is her birthdate.”

I’m having a hard time forming an opinion on this. Yeah I guess he kinda got scammed, and it’s definitely exploiting lonely people, but also… trying to establish a relationship with a porn star? Getting a tattoo of her birthday?

Agreed, and I think HN is one of the best examples of a properly moderated social site, and it does so without crushing dissenting opinions (See: random subreddit mods on a power trip). I like that you can generally see a range of opinions on HN that would get downvoted into oblivion or deleted outright on other sites.

Good moderation, IMO, should aim to punish behaviors, not opinions, which ultimately results in a healthy discussion that isn't just an echo chamber. Unfortunately, this is rather difficult to do without human moderation, and so Meta and friends would much rather just pretend it's unsolvable because they don't want to pay mods.
"Somewhere in the cosmos, he said, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids, reptiloids, fishoids, walking treeoids and superintelligent shades of the color blue, there was also a planet entirely given over to ballpoint life forms. And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpointoid lifestyle, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivalent of the good life." -- Douglas Adams, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Does anyone know if Google plans to sunset the entire Flutter framework over time? Since they fired just about everybody internal who was working on it, I don't have a lot of confidence that Flutter will still have any Google support in 3-5 years. Has anyone talked about forking it and putting it under an independent foundation to ensure its long-term viability? Given Google's track record of long-term support for its various technologies, it would be a shame if Flutter got consigned to history's scrap-heap prematurely.

Find doctors rated highly by peers?
Are there healthcare platforms that let doctors rate other doctors anonymously?

I find Google Reviews & Practo (in India) inadequate because they only let patients rate doctors - this gets subjective as the ratings tend to depend on how 'nice & friendly' the doctor was, or how irritable the receptionist was; rather than accuracy of the treatment protocol. With chronic conditions, the patient may end up with poor treatment from a 'popular' doctor.

I'm looking for a platform that lets patients upload their diagnostics and the prescription/case-file, and lets another doctor rate it, or just raise absolute red/green flags. The platform should anonymise both the patient & the prescribing doctor by blacking-out those portions; the reviewing doctor can easily be anonymised.

The doctors could also be geographically isolated, so there's no patient-poaching possibility.

Even if it doesn't exist today, can we debate the potential of such a platform to discover doctors & be sure of the treatment we're receiving?

> Whatever you’re making is going to require materials, the manufacturing of which emits CO2

This is circular logic. "Manufacturing emits CO2 because manufacturing emits CO2."

> transportation of your product will also require CO2

It doesn't. It's possible to use electric trains and trucks and electricity doesn't have to be generated from burning fossil fuels.

> I contend that it is unfair to attribute all of China’s emissions to China, and if we’re being honest much of it is attributable to the West which deindustrialized itself and instead makes almost everything there.

Attribution is boring. Do China want to do the manufacturing in a way that doesn't emit CO2, or do they want to let someone else do the manufacturing so the someone else can do it in a way that doesn't emit CO2? Those are the options.
Not OP. I interpreted his point not to literally refer to scammers. It refers to people who would rather invest their smarts and energy into stealing from others rather than exploring new frontiers and sharing their knowledge.

Using an old Python version means you're stuck using libraries that work with that version. I think you have to figure out which ones work on your own as well.
Pyre has optional strict mode typing if you want to enforce it. It also is more sound than mypy.

But there isn't a ban on all real narcotics, alcohol is freely available in many places, so why ban this virtual narcotic vs any other (gaming, social media, fantasy forums?)
Maybe we could use those horses to run our country.

I think the horses would quite like that.

In fact they would definitiely prefer that to being abused to compete in the Olympics.

Dying while being forced to jump over high fences running round a race track where human muppets gamble on who is going to win.

The famous Becher’s Brook fence over 6 feet high with its gaping great leg breaking ditch on the other side of the fence.

They shoot horses dont they?

If horses ran our country horse racing would be banned.
This problem is as old as time itself and a part of human nature that monotheistic wisdom (or even Buddhism) has always cautioned against. People attributing love, protection, adoration, etc. to fake images construed in their imagination is also known as "idolatry", or "polytheism".
It’s not really a hack, it’s more the obvious implementation when you’re doing any pixel art.
Is there much plausibility of such a cure? The problem is autoimmune AFAIK (maybe triggered by an infection), and once it happens the relevant cells are dead and it'd take both regrowing them and immunotherapy.
Prosecute them for fraud and caused pain and suffering. Some 5x factor of spend money seems fair to me.
No you're letting the OnlyFans operators off the hook when you compare them to gambling operators. With the gambling operators we have laws against false advertising, there's all kinds of compliance that they do, there is law enforcement on both national and international levels and if they step outside of what's legal they can and do get sued and fined.

With the OnlyFans operators it's false advertising from day one - they sell the right to chat with the model. Then they have a guy chat with you, pretending to be the model. If this was spelled out clearly in a terms of service or something the business would dry up overnight, these men don't want to pay money to chat with other men. They are being misled about what they're purchasing. The fraud is very clear-cut.

Your comparison would make more sense if casinos were allowed to lie about the odds, change them with zero disclosure or warning, and even change the game you're playing or the opponent you're playing against without telling you as it happens.

What I hate about this particular type of criminality is that it's so lucrative, all the other content on the Internet is turning into a loss leader for fraudulent OnlyFans subscriptions. Reddit, Instagram and dating apps have all been flooded with "women" posting racy photos with links back to OnlyFans in their profiles or after some short message script. You can't do anything about this because it's a women's rights and free speech issue, supposedly. But what the virtue signalers fail to understand is that it's rarely actual women creating these profiles or engaging for the OF sub fee, it's essentially just pimps (usually male) who hire that woman for periodic photoshoots. Or perhaps the people at Meta and Reddit are well aware but they like all the ad revenue they're collecting by keeping this porn studio's loss leader content online, so they keep their lips sealed.

That's not quitting, that's boycotting perhaps?
For a last-century example of actual pass-by-reference, assign-by-copy, the PL/I program

foo: proc options(main);
dcl sysprint print;
dcl a(3) fixed bin(31) init(1,2,3);
put skip data (a);
call bar(a);
put skip data (a);

bar: proc(x);
dcl x(3) fixed bin(31);
dcl b(3) fixed bin(31) init(3,2,1);
x = b;
b(1) = 42;
x(2) = 42;
put skip data (b);
put skip data (x);
end bar;

end foo;

outputs

A(1)= 1 A(2)= 2 A(3)= 3 ;
B(1)= 42 B(2)= 2 B(3)= 1 ;
X(1)= 3 X(2)= 42 X(3)= 1 ;
A(1)= 3 A(2)= 42 A(3)= 1 ;

demonstrating that X refers to A in BAR and assigning B to X copies B into X (= A).
