> That document is extremely hard to parse, and it offers absolutely no guidance wrt which parts matter the most, or, say, how the various real screen readers used in the wild behave.

No, but it does enumerate what is available which is the starting point for figuring out what is relevant to your use case.

If you want tutorials or guides relevant to your particular use case you can seek those out, but to understand them you will need familiarity with the set of available attributes and where they are or are not permitted.

Many (most?) tutorials online have flagrant violations of the specification. We need better ones that actually emphasize understanding WAI-ARIA and not cowboy markup recipe books.

> Please, stop doing this.

No, I will not stop telling people to familiarize themselves with the primary reference material. Reading technical documentation and specifications relevant to a project is not an optional step.

It is not complete in the ways you describe (actually testing real screen readers is crucial), but it is absolutely essential reading to begin with.

There should be an incapacitation rate metric which quantifies what percentage of the population becomes unable to function for some significant period while infected.

A 1% IFR is very bad, but you're still going to have serious problems with a virus that doesn't kill anyone but makes most of the population very ill for a month or so - showstopper lights-go-out kinds of problems.

The problem now of course is that a significant percentage of the population has been propagandised into irrational lunacy, and will refuse to wear masks and get vaccinated even if their close relatives die.

We should really have spent some time trying to prevent mental and emotional contagion in populations, as well as physical illness.

I think it's kind of necessary to be exposed to ideas and views of people like Postman to even think of them when you play a game like this. The top comment is disappointing, but so it goes.

I enjoyed the game, for the attention to detail and making a mockery out of so many things in our daily lives that are in essence absurd, in such a brilliant yet simple way. The frowning Duolingo owl. The pillow delivery tracking made me chuckle. The only thing I missed was booking a an apartment on booking.com with a billion reminders to hurry up as the place might be gone any second, or doing an online check in. Although maybe it happened, I refreshed the game accidentally and never came back.

Integration across multiple data sources is very difficult. The schemas change and you have to constantly juggle the translation between different sources and synchronization in order to keep your app working.

Years I ago I worked with Oracle ERP which under the hood was just as you describe a fusion of different products from different companies that they had acquired. It was a maze of scripts converting from one format to another and thence to another, etc.
Perhaps bad phrasing, it is an emotional issue having lived through it.

I like to think that I don't live in a country ruled by a King but rather in a community of citizens who have collectively agreed on a way of doing things. This includes the right to express dissent against other citizens to whom we have delegated certain decision-making responsibilities. A permit isn't about seeking permission; it's about ensuring an orderly process so that things don't devolve into chaos and bouncy castles.

At the time, I think we were also in stage 2 lockdown(which should have been enough to stop it), so the people bearing the brunt of these actions, whatever you want to label it as, were not the ones making those decisions. Our elected officials don't live inside Parliament Hill.
There have been things done to try to fix that, see "strcpy_s" and other related functions. Visual Studio even considers use of the classic string functions (like "strcpy") to be a compiler error. You need to define a specific macro before you are allowed to use them.

> You're confusing things that you value in life with things with economic value.

If you think about it, the "economic" value is just the market trying to discover what everyone value in life.

> Also you don't seem to see that something that stores your economic value better than anything else (the "infinite" outcome) would be of great value to your life.

Finding a cure for cancer will be infinite value and most people will give anything for it - including all Bitcoins in the world. This - finding the cure of cancer - is the way better store of value than anything. The reverse is not true.
I asked for specific signs/indications showing that these officers perceived a threat. When police officers are battered (as perceived by an outsiders like you or me), and the officers don't indicate perception of threat in any way it means only one thing - they perceive that just as a friendly tussle.

That demonstrated absence of perception of threat (despite what you today perceive as "them being battered") is pretty puzzling.

You're fighting way harder on this than I would, but I do agree that the title had me imagining being served an ad where I'm using the product being sold to me. Ads already are trying to make you think you'd be happy or popular by using their product by showing you people acting like that. It kicks that up to another level to literally see yourself happy because you're using a product that someone wants to sell you.

The PMs only have a 3-5 year term. They can't be taken from the companies that bid due to conflicts of interest, so they rarely are in charge of an area they have expertise in. How long would it take you to get enough technical domain knowledge in a new field to actually see through a professional PowerPointer that's polished their technological turd for decades?

There's supposed to be a set of contractors that the PM refers to for technical advice that also provide continuity over longer terms, but the pay is not really competitive (due to budget cuts) so there's more churn and less talent than there used to be.
No, I'm not required to logon, and I didn't, but they absolutely do prompt for it and otherwise making ignoring their services less convenient. I put up with it for years, but I hated it.
That's really great work, thanks -- could you share a link to the 50% polls? This is probably worth porting back to the Wikipedia page to set the record straight.
...and yet no one seems to ever be able to replicate these results.
Thanks! Frankly so long as I can get a browser and install some reader apps (Kobo, Manga-one, etc.) that would fit my needs fine, and as long as they support older versions of Android for enough years (or I can avoid upgrading the app version) then things should be fine. The 10.3" Boox is 80k JPY which is a bit pricey, though, but I'll consider it vs the Kobo device next time I upgrade e-readers.

Enriched flour, iodized salt, vitamin- & mineral-fortified children's breakfast cereals, pasteurized milk, etc., etc. seem to get vastly less angry push-back.

In this case, it's definitely Trudeau's administration fault by flooding the Canadian job market with immigrants, which lowers job compensation and increasing housing cost.

Yes, in the same way Howard Hughes lost it.

Mr. Hughes contribution however is valued because commercial aviation as an industry succeeded and with all his flaws he was part of it.

The jury is still out on all industries Musk is involved in namely: Electric Vehicles, Commercial Space Exploration and AI.

If they flop or the public rebels against them it's entirely possible that only the negative flaws of its character will remain as a testimony of his permanence at the top of the Forbes 400

Right, just like average wealth makes no sense compared to median wealth.

Averages are logistic tools but the actual climate requires extremely small spatial models and uptodate variables. Chaos theory is a existential threat. It will prevent otherwise smart people from accepting real risks and bad choices.

None of those languages can do anything in the browser.
Sorry about that, I didn't read your earlier comment. I'll tone it down.
Typically the accelerated/gifted and talented/special education system in public education is designed to prevent students from being variously bored or overwhelmed, leading to poorer outcomes in either direction. It isn’t designed as a competitive construct.

AP courses notwithstanding. AP courses were insanely competitive and speaking as someone had been all over the map in my K12 years (AP, accelerated courses, early foreign language, and a touch of remedial relative to grade level) the students in AP were mainly in competition with themselves. That however is just personal anecdote.

Oh yes, I can see :)

And yes, I agree it is not the clear and obvious resource we can point people.

We DO need better "guide" format documentation, rather than dry technical reference. Nearly everything I've seen online is in very poor shape or outright wrong.

I share your feeling that it is solvable, and I also hope that people will help solve it.

But I'm sure of one thing: the people who write that documentation will be familiar with the specifications and refer to them (among other sources) while writing.

An "Accessibility Book" (like sections of the Python and Django docs, or the Rustonomicon for unsafe Rust) would be a fantastic resource and I hope someone writes it.
A fair number of cities have done this, Galveston, Sacramento, Seattle.
Yeah. I'd love to have one of these in mini-ITX or micro-ATX form.

Oh, I honestly don't think the Conservatives will have you killed, unless maybe you hit on Melissa Lantsman's wife.
Yeah but that app was just nightmarishly bad, including an absolutely terrible approach to roll-your-own push notifications. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
Nobody said anything about "masking". But yes, "social distancing" is what closed down a lot of schools around the US, and kept them closed for years.

NYC, for example, kept kids out of school based on "social distancing" for a year and a half [1], not counting the years of follow-on silliness that some schools still do to this day.

Im sorry, I feel like you just countered with one of the most obvious statements in this field.

SAP, Claude etc are all doing the same things American counterparts do. You need a slight dose of reality.
SPAs are for humans, but they let you have structured data.

That's the problem here. People need APIs, which means not-for-humans, and so to find an efficient way to get "pages" for humans and APIs for not-humans they invented SPAs that transfer data in not-for-humans encodings and generate or render it from/to UIs for humans. And then the intransigent HATEOAS boosters come and tell you "that's not RESTful!!" "you're misusing the term!!", etc.

Look at your response to my thoughtful comment: it's just a dismissive one-liner that helps no one and which implicitly says "though shall have an end-point that deals in HTML and another that deals in JSON, and though shall have to duplicate effort". It comes across as flippant -- as literally flipping the finger[0].

No wonder the devs ignore all this HATEOAS and REST purity.

[0] There's no etymological link between "flippant" and "flipping the finger", but the meanings are similar enough.
Agree with your sentiment, but I'd take it one step further: why doesn't anyone calling the shots at Meta realize just how uncool it is to do such a thing? Which is the same reaction I had to their recent AI influencers.

It speaks to their seeming inability to read the zeitgeist on the general public's attitude towards generative AI at the moment. I'm generally "pro AI", in that I think generative AI is incredibly interesting tech that can potentially be used to create some very cool (and maybe even helpful) things. But "AI" has become a dirty word among the people I know who aren't living in our tech bubble - uncool at best, and evil at worst.

And every time I see something like this, I understand perfectly why they feel that way. Every new hamfisted or creepy attempt at inserting AI into everything by companies like Meta just digs the hole even deeper for people's perception of generative AI.
I'm a couple years into that range and I'm not dead yet! Only 90% of a quarter-century to go!
I don't think it was overwhelmingly popular - nor was it overwhelmingly unpopular. It was both in certain groups.

I agree a police response or similar was sensible for the situations you mentioned, but they didn't rise to the level of national emergency.
I must not be the target audience for this kind of thing, but I really don't get it. The few times I've opened HN today I've seen this at the top, and the number of points has been higher. I've opened it 3 times, and clicked the button, and some other icons showed up below. The first time I didn't open even bother to mouse over the icons, so I didn't know you'd be buying things. I closed before I got to 50 stimulations. The second time, I did hover over the icons showing up, and clicked a couple, and nothing seemed to happen other than spending stimulation, so I closed before 100. I just did this a third time as it's now over 1200 points, and I really just don't understand what is going on. What am I missing?
Eh, we've done a partially successful job constraining nuclear weapons beyond the US and the USSR/Russia. And, so far, we've constrained their use in war.
Nowhere near as suspicious as the tire shop in east LA late at night on Sunday when I needed a flat patched, and I only had credit cards on me - and a uncut roll of $2s in the trunk.

I pulled that out to cut some off and pay and they all started screaming about feds and told me to get the hell out of there, no need to pay.
"How are Canadians occupying Canadian cities supposed to lift US restrictions?:"

They can protest (which they did) and Justin Trudeau could have picked up the phone and call Biden and ask to remove the restriction, which at that time of the pandemic was completely useless. Instead, Justin Trudeau played politics, he figured it was much better for him to divide the population on the issue than actually work with its biggest trade partner to remove the restriction.
There is however some promising work on designing antibodies which might be broadly effective against all flus including H5N1: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21320540/

Yes, the amount you can 6 rollover is very exceptional.

It would also be exceptional if you were approved to take all that leave at once.
Some was mitigated, but I don't think that faces and plates were what had the biggest bang about it. It's a complete, 360 capture of a large part of public places, with people still being clearly identifiable, correlated with satellite imagery (which was pointed out as creepy and privacy-invading as well, upon its public release), resolution so high that you can read many texts, and you can still see in windows, into yards, all kinds of stuff. Wikipedia has a lengthy article about the different concerns. And yet, despite it feeling creepy and strange for many, it just became normal. People look up random places for fun, to hunt for their new home, for driving instructions, GeoGuessr is cool and has a league of its own... it's a creepy, risky new thing becoming part of life, that's why I brought it up.

Smartphones could be another good example. As the joke goes, people in the 60s are afraid the government wiretaps their phones. Nowadays, they say: "Hey wiretap! Do you have a recipe for pancakes?"

Sure, I agree with that, but surely there's a middle ground between cryptic model names and simple ones to the point of being meaningless. If you have to add the year and display size to your product name, then it's probably not unique enough.

Like I said, this middle ground to me are standard product line names with some meaningful product identifier, so this change by Dell seems like a regression.
Note that it was snowy in NYC today, so people were likely dissuaded to drive by other factors than congestion pricing as well. It'll be interesting to see what impact there is as we get further along in the year.

The dashboard is based off of Google Maps travel time data which I'm unsure of the exact accuracy. I imagine the city might also have other more direct metrics that can be used, such as the count of vehicles passing through the tunnels into the congestion zone.

It works both ways.

When Trudeau first took office, he was the meme of being Canada's young and handsome PM, and he enjoyed a good few years of "honeymoon" period that many leaders can only wish for.

So when I buy a Dell laptop now (won't happen), I need to ask for Dell Pro Premium package and make sure that the seller doesn't mistake it for Plus version or Base. Why would you go for "easier" names and go for 3 subcategories with the same name within 3 other categories. Just sell Dell/Dell Pro/Dell Pro Max (even the names are copied from Apple) with different specs, why give them subcategories
They do not. I can't even begin to explain to you how delusional this is.

To be clear, I gave testimony to the NTHSA that the first Porsche Taycan was unfit for road driving due to extreme errors in the software architecture and in part got the CEO of Porsche fired. (Specifically error handling so laughably bad it caused the entire car to lock up at speed.)
