> Linux is a kernel project,

Is that useful pedantry? From context, you really think that's my confusion here? I didn't include *BSD either, but it isn't any different for the relative handful of people using that for a desktop system.

> Win32 is the native GUI toolkit on Windows. Winforms is a .NET wrapper to it. There isn't any debate to be had there.

Except for Microsoft's numerous attempts to supplant it and the fact that the base OS doesn't even use it consistently for their own system. Microsoft's own File Explorer and Settings app that only had to live along with Control Panel for a decade, was that not native? They aren't "Win32".
If you insist on pedantry, you should know Win32 isn't a GUI toolkit either, it's an anachronistic term for the Windows API. Nobody casually calls it USER though, and the bulk of people still targeting it do so through .NET these days via Winforms.

If native just means provided by the vendors base system, ok, but then if there are 10 different forms of it, other than the distribution issue there isn't some great intrinsic benefit over just targeting Qt or Flutter. Especially when someone like Microsoft can't settle on a consistent design language through the years.

From the title, I naively assumed this article would be about people relearning to make legible/beautiful handwritten notes after losing this ability. That is something I’m currently struggling with after many years of too much typing and not as much handwriting.

Google’s actual research does help people like me, by making our notes less awful digitally. But I’d love not to be dependent on tech innovations to make my handwriting better.
Are BMW cars less reliable, expensive, not ready for zonal assembly...?

Major car components like doors or front axles are assembled in parallel to miscellaneous parts on the main body, and all .join() at the final assembly. This had been the case for past 30-50 years, possibly more, in case this needs to be said.

Sure, it's technically feasible, but I'm questioning if it's financially viable at all. Being fun and cool isn't all that great when you end up with a product that just has some prototypes and a bunch of hype, but then the company goes bankrupt before it goes anywhere. There are some examples of things like $20k espresso machines that were successful, but I think they're rare.

It seems pretty clearly spelled out. If you have enough traffic that an events table is slowing down your postgres instance, you can easily set this up as a service to offload the events table. The author says <1 million MAUs, and you probably don't need this.

Famous picture of black hole in our galaxy might not be accurate, research says
It's 6% income plus a doubling of the investment.

100K after 5 years became about 230K. 30K of passive income that was essentially tax free because of the offset from the depreciation of the property and the assets within the property that depreciate at a significantly faster rate than the rental property.

And then with all the improvements made to the property and the increase in rent that the substantial improvement could garner, selling the revamped property nets roughly double the initial investment, which if put into a new property within 90 days also incurs no tax for the transaction.

But I am also not even accounting for investing any of that income. Just with the roughly doubling every roughly 5 years, 100K in ownership stake can become 1.6M after 25 years. I started with 100K and already had a property that sold, and then did it again, and it's currently invested as a roughly $400K stake 11 years after I started with a yearly income of around 24K on the 3rd property that I am now invested in and so far things seem on track as normal.

CAN has desirable electrical properties (e.g. hardware-level prioritization) if you have life-critical devices and non-life-critical devices on the same network. But it's painful to deal with from a software point of view, compared to IP-based protocols, for anything that doesn't require the properties of CAN.

Ya'll may want to checkout Valibot¹ or Zod² in conjunction with something like React Hook Forms³ or the more agnostic Tanstack Forms⁴. Really sweet form validation that's concise but as precise as you want it to be.

The problem with vanilla form validations are (1) they're so basic that it's table stakes for any library or framework in this space, even ChatGPT can do it well, (2) there's an enormous amount of other validation scenarios they don't cover, and (3) unless your validation is simple and doesn't require a validation library, now your logic is split between two places.

This is a totally bizarre strawman argument. Safety-critical software has almost nothing in common with Microsoft crapware, or indeed, most typical desktop software. Even within the desktopo software industry, MS has never been held up as "best-in-class", but rather the butt of jokes.

As the other poster said, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that a new safety-critical system needs its sensors to be redundant. It wasn't stupid, though, it was malicious: Boeing wanted to hide the existence of MCAS so that pilot retraining wouldn't be required.

Only on HN do I hear anyone talking about platform native controls versus unified UI across devices. I have not once heard of such a complaint in the real world and indeed, I have more often heard users wanting a unified UI over one that changes with each platform, simply because these days we have multiple devices where we expect apps to work the same.

Yeah I did mention that it is a mess. You don't even have a single entity that can be trusted by all partners. That itself makes it seem like a non starter but reminder: Just the threat of it existing is still something that can put pressure on the west and it may affect some sort of change against the west long term. The world would be even better off if there was some other democratic power that could provide balance by matching the US but thats not happening so this is what we have.

Thinking long term, there has got to be some sort of mechanism for the non western world to move forward. Right now if you are on the losing side of the western backed global order, you have no hope.

> you could probably ... subtract a social worker, as a cost-saving measure.

Anyone who has scheduled 24x7 work knows that you need 4+ people:

24 hrs * 7 days/wk = 168 hrs/wk

So that's 4 shifts of 42 hours each. Caregiving is difficult, very draining work, so 3 shifts of 56 hours isn't going to work (even if that's feasible for any job), and especially over the long term. Then people get sick, take vacations, have family emergencies, etc., so you need additional people available too.
The linked post shows why all that is unnecessary. Paralleling PSUs is so easy that people get it working by accident.

In an all honest reply, is that the people that writes these specifications, live disconnected from the reality, they don't use the stuff they specify. That stuff works for very simple things, but then when your forms evolve you realise you will be better off just writing the whole thing yourself.
I think this becomes a balance of peers. The psychological safety of one, may not necessarily be the psychological safety of another. Does the individual who wishes to speak up berate the underperforming co-worker for underperforming?

How can we get the new co-worker to start performing adequately? They are a member of the team, and unless there's some business motivation to fire or reassign them, they will remain a member of the team. I think the solution is to invest velocity to bring the co-worker up to the teams overall performance level.

That being said I do not condone being tolerant of intolerable performance, but I think that teams that consistently show grace and respect to each other will often yield the best results.
If you’re serious about this, I’ve stumbled into areas of YouTube with people dedicated to this. Pick a font of how you want your writing to look, and practice, practice, practice. People make available (and sell) special lined sheets to get the height of various things right or help to guide the writer to the perfect slant.

You just have to have the time and interest to do the work, much like you probably did when first learning to write.

But still I think it is one of the best ways for non-technical people to creating websites quickly.

The historical artifacts exist independently of the search ranking. Actual bad guys can get a new domain to get a clean slate without taking the old one down. The reason they care about the cost of domains is their domains get a bad reputation immediately and they have to cycle through far more than one domain a year.

If they were going to consistently use the same domain for links while they churn through hundreds/thousands a year for Google, the extra cost for one extra renewal for the persistent domain would be entirely negligible. And on top of that would make it trivial for Reddit/Facebook/etc. to disable all the historical links because they all go to the same scam site.
I'm not exactly sure how you would define 99.99% or 70% correct for protein folding, but AlphaFold is extremely accurate. The original AlphaFold paper had an rmsd of 0.96 Å at 95% residue coverage, which is less than the diameter of a carbon atom (1.4 Å).
As it should be. One of the few levers we have to control costs across the healthcare system is shifting much of routine primary and urgent care to PA/NP practitioners. I understand that might mean a loss of quality in some cases (have been on the receiving end of that myself) but we'll have to lower our expectations and be content with good enough.

> How large is the Flutter team, today? Google doesn't publish this information, but my guess is that the team is about 50 people strong.

> That's 50 people serving the needs of 1,000,000. Doing a little bit of division, that means that every single member of the Flutter team is responsible for the needs of 20,000 Flutter developers! That ratio is clearly unworkable for any semblance of customer support.

This is a weird exercise. Python, for example, is a #1/#2 language in the world and there's only 50 active core devs, 90% of which don't even work on Python full time. Somehow we make that work.

Getting food is the main thing. They do not store food so every day the men hunt and the women gather.

So for the men lots of walking, a fair bit of running, carrying dead animals back home. The men also gather honey from beehives high up in tall trees.

The women dig up roots and tubers and gather other plant food, and carry it back home. They also gather honey from beehives that are not high up in tall trees.

I've read that it amounts to about 75 minutes a day of MVPA (moderate to vigorous physical activity), but they are active for much more of the day.

In 1940s the Palestinians went to Hitler and asked him to take care of the Jews.

So you're using Amin al-Husseini as a stand-in for all Palestinians, which I suppose is about as cool as using Netanyahu as a stand-in for all Israelis. Or as the other commenter pointed out, when referring to the occasion when agents from Stern Gang met with Nazi officials to discuss the possibility of an anti-British alliance, we might as well just say simplify and say "the Jews" did so, collectively.

But never mind that. Just tell us, please: what did Amin ask Hitler to do, specifically?

Referencing the transcript we all have of their sole meeting in November 1941, of course.
When I learned how a lot of the government policies worked it just kinda blew my mind. Yes you are effectively 4x leveraging your investment with a way lower risk than doing something like that in the stock market. You are certainly leveraging other people's money in a way.

Maybe it won't last forever, but I'll pursue it while it works.

They tried and failed to extend their OS to other platforms and architectures many times. That they weren't successful wasn't due to some big brained decision to avoid antitrust issues. They just couldn't execute.

Now that you mention it, I would like to use my old iPad as a second screen, since it's a mobile form factor already and is otherwise nearly useless for no intrinsic reason. But for the iMac, which is obviously a stationary large screen in an appealing enclosure, it would be a returning feature with a standard TB 4/5 port and cable, like it was originally with TB1.
> 1918 Code on Marriage, the Family and Guardianship

> One year after the Bolsheviks took power, they ratified the 1918 Code on Marriage, the Family and Guardianship. The revolutionary jurists, led by Alexander Goikhbarg, adhered to the revolutionary principals of Marx, Engels, and Lenin when drafting the codes. Goikhbarg considered the nuclear family unit to be a necessary but transitive social arrangement that would quickly be phased out by the growing communal resources of the state and would eventually "wither away". The jurists intended for the code to provide a temporary legal framework to maintain protections for women and children until a system of total communal support could be established.
