That was a blogging standard late 90s/early 00s. Loads of pretty unrelated photos -- usually personal photos as everyone is a photographer -- intermixed with content. For some reason I always think of Philip Greenspun when I see that style of content.
Nah, energy is way too low. If they emitted enough for you to feel it you'd be dead in a week.

I certainly felt my last MRI though. New machine, so probably high powered. Abdominal/liver MRI. Every time the RF was on I could feel a gentle warmth throughout my midsection. Weird but cool.
Not sure how is paying for food relevant to paying for politician. In many countries there is absolute cap per campaign to make it fair. Making it 'fair' is maybe not that relevant in two party system but still that amount of money from single entity is corruption.
I frequently have problems with some touch screens, because my fingers are too dry. Seems like some touch screens are better, i.e. I don't notice it at all, and some are intolerably bad.
Decades for me as well, and we’ve had very different experiences : gdb is very powerful , but the user experience is atrocious and it does crash a lot.

To be fair, in a number of cases the type issues I had were not gdb’s fault but bad DWARF produced by the compiler.
Most of my current wants from devices, and mobile computing, overlap quite nicely with what aging communities need from their devices. Sunlight readable displays, buttons that are distinguishable by feeling alone (ever seen the button variety in the cockpit of jet fighters!!!), and the ability to customize outputs in a sane manner that isn't full of twelve layer deep menus of vague options that change with each software update.
Well you kind of debunked your own first point: while we theoretically can have very fast and responsive Electron apps, the fact of life is that we don't; they are a vanishing minority.

What "can" be done is kind of irrelevant. What's much more important is what metrics would the default (or lazy as you called it) way of doing things with framework X or Y net. If the defaults are a slow and laggy app then that's what 95% or more of the using apps will be.

So my kid has ARFID. I am not a doctor, but what I have learned is that eventually, anything that causes nausea associated with eating can progress into ARFID, even if the original underlying cause resolves. ARFID is technically an eating disorder, like anorexia, but it isn't related to poor body image; it is, basically, a food aversion to, well, food. All food, or nearly all. This is what happened to my kid; there’s an underlying disorder that can be treated with meds, but when not treated causes nearly constant nausea. Once we diagnosed and treated the underlying cause, the nausea didn’t go away. My kid's brain had learned to associate eating with being sick, and that association persisted even when the original illness resolved.

My kid at one point was admitted to the hospital for two weeks because said kid had lost so much weight. They inserted a gastric tube, and kid discovered that kid did not become nauseous when fed through the tube. We knew kid had ARFID, but this was ah “a-ha” moment for kid, because it showed kid irrefutable proof that the problem was not a physical issue with kid's gut. It was very clearly related to the experience of eating. Kid has subsequently learned to “eat through the nausea” as described in the post.

That's what this sounds like. There was likely an underlying physical cause of the nausea; that cause may or may not have resolved, but the nausea is now it's own thing. The OP indicates a series of consults with a behaviorist; I would imagine being screened for eating disorders is what that was about, but ARFID is not a common eating disorder, and may or may not have been considered.
Might be fine for non-critical entertainment systems which nowadays also take voice control, but never critical vehicle functions. Things like hazard lights and HVAC should be illegal to be on touch screens.
Well, almonds are far more delicious than the average congressional representative.
Vance came from big tech, he's not a skeptic, it's an act. He says things that make it seem like the leadership are against the big bad and for the average Joe. Apple is piling on this one so that both can get a win at the same time.
I found this very frustrating back when I was active on Reddit. There were times when I put a lot of thought and effort into writing posts drawing from my moderate knowledge and (at the time ~10 years of) experience. And then I get some reply from a complete novice or two saying this is clearly wrong and the post gets tons of down votes. Meanwhile the top comment is another beginner saying something obviously wrong and hundreds more agreeing.
Yes, a reasonable assumption. However, if they're doing it for the love, they can literally just keep doing that.
I wonder if Gen Alpha will prefer pure touchscreen controls in cars.

> it started using NFTs and crypto, and they all promptly ignored all the great output these artists had.

I know I did. The whole mess really opened my eyes to how vapid much of it really was — how little “art” there was present in the creative output.

As an aside, I’m hoping to one day see an exhibition of actual code (not output) that can be read as art. I only know of a few examples, but maybe some day.
Most serious people living in Silicon Valley are deeply skeptical of big tech.

"had to press a touch screen button to get information while driving"

I think that putting touch screens and foregoing physical feedback is the issue, and not old people.
If I add two days, semantically, I want to add two days. The date should increment by two. The time should remain the same, even if a DST transition has occurred.
No, GDB has a pretty good Python extension framework
The BBC filmed a few artists trying it out in 1987, which was probably how a lot of the public first heard of it: https://youtu.be/ZI8RbdPe4ro
I think we smoothly transitioned from touchscreens in cars being a luxury signifier, to them being both pretty cheap and STILL kind of a luxury signifier, though to a smaller extent nowadays.
Is it really that hard to say "Selling something? Not interested, have a nice day!"? I'm fairly anxious and introverted and don't love having to do this, but once a month or something is very manageable. Gotta be brave and interact with the world sometimes.
IDK but I think it'd be really funny if Apple switched to using Bing as their default search engine.
But then wealthy people might have to pay the entities they would rather defraud indefinitely with eternally delayed judgements.
The only counterpoint to this - when it comes to interacting with managing audio and navigation, the alternatives to a touchscreen are probably more dangerous. Maybe the worst offender was Lexus who offered a mouse pointer in lieu of touchscreen until quite recently.

But I agree that there should be a federally mandated set of commonly-used buttons while driving that have to be tactile - windows, HVAC, audio, etc.
I'm pretty sure what we see is almost exactly what he's like in private. That kind of openness is hard to fake.

Like Rayiner says, Rogan is not that smart, which combines with the confidence that comes from social and financial success and with the pressure to always be producing new content to cause him to make mistakes.
They put metal detectors even in schools these days, can't they put one before the MRI lab?
Early 50s.

I believe it to be a combination of dryer skin, poorer circulation, and calloused fingertips.

It’s incredibly frustrating. I didn’t really have a problem until this year.
Older people have dryer hands. My mother in law has trouble with her phone all the time because of this.

A vaguely related story:

I had to get my fingerprints taken to volunteer at my kids school. They use a touchscreen device to take the fingerprints, and it kept failing. Mind you I was only about 44 at the time, so not exactly elderly.

The teenager working the counter says to me, "Oh yeah, that happens to old people a lot, you'll just have keep trying". The sting of calling me old was real.

She gave me some hand lotion and after about three more tries it finally read my prints.
"The cost of alterations is an economically reasonable risk: the above would come in at £1,600 with Terry when they would need £5,000 to 7,000 for a replacement."
LOL! You can't even switch topics without being wrong. Your figure comes from this report [0], which disputes your China figure.

> Figures for [...] China are incomplete[...] The China figures are for sentenced prisoners only. Figures for pre-trial detention and other forms of detention are not available; more than 650,000 were so held in 2009 (Supreme People’s Procuratorate). In addition, it is widely reported that more than a million Uighur Muslims are detained in camps in Xinjiang province.

Thanks for the laugh.

Synchronicity much? There as a recent post here asking about verified boot[0], and just a week ago, I was researching vTPMs from major cloud providers. I love that something like QuorumOS exists.

No I mean more the fact that Britain seems to have left the EU at least in part because they didn't want to deal with EU regulation superseding what the UK wanted...

...and then proceeded to basically copy every EU regulation. Whatever one's take is on EU regulation, it's just odd to me to do that because you basically lose the upside of the EU while keeping the downside.
During my MSc I spent a total of more than 25 hours being scanned in an MRI machine for a study investigating the neurobiology of reading, and by the end of the study I was so relaxed in there that my main problem was not falling asleep because I was lying down with repetitive noises around me!
Please define "fine"? There is always a very detectable lag when switching between channels and/or DMs. Always. Not a single exception.

There's zero technical and human reason for allowing that to continue. The visible-on-the-screen messages are cached and you can, you know, just get on with it by painting the whole thing on the screen right away.

It's "fine", he says. "Fine"...

[grumbles under his nose, annoyed, and ventures into the far distance]
At least make them pass a road test. Make sure they can operate the car safely at the posted speed limit. Give them a vision test, maybe limit them to daytime driving. Some 90 year olds are fine to drive, but I agree many are not. And driving around 10-20 mph under the limit is a hazard in itself.
I'm forced to quote from The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy:

"A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wave bands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive--you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program."

As a side note, the F-35 has a touchscreen interface that has been described as difficult to use when the jet is in motion.
Cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, liver failure, dementia, and FIP would all kill a cat on the street, too. It's not irresponsible to give them a sudden, nonviolent death in these cases. It could be argued that spending a lot of money just to keep them alive is selfish. I can give a cat a better life than it would have on the street using a modicum of income, and responsibly not spend a lot of money just to let them suffer should the reaper come knocking.
Hey -- thank you for this feedback. Honestly, a huge (and obvious) oversight on our part. Gonna fix this shortly.
Apple paid income taxes of $10 billion in 2019, $10 billion in 2020, $15 billion in 2021, $19 billion in 2022, $17 billion in 2023, and $30 billion in 2024.

Google paid $18 billion in 2024, and Amazon paid $10 billion.
Mandatory regular (every 5-10 years) driving tests seem like a no-brainer regardless of age. Also seems like the driving tests should be more stringent.
I'm an older adult that's worked on touch interfaces and whatnot.

I don't blame the touch mechanism as much as I blame all the UX designers that adopted Material design schemas and their descendents. Bad layouts, unreadable fonts, horrible color schemes and literally NO contrast between type and background. It's apparent that none of this was tested on older users.

Apple is just as guilty of this. If you switch your iPhone into high contrast mode with thicker font weights it helps, but it wasn't necessary back in the early days of iOS.
My son thinks it is magic that I can reach into my bag and pull out exactly what I want without looking. He didn't exactly grow up on touch screens, but I think about how much more tactile my life was as a child compared to his. It is night and day.
i want to like ocaml but the tooling is not there, coming from Rust.

The lsp requires you to run "dune build" first, bad already.

If you add a new file, the lsp wont pick it up until you dune build it again.

The compiler errors arent there too.

But i loved writing OCaml, its just thats a bit more painful to learn than due to the tooling, since i didn't use many functional langs before.
They have thousands of devs and I am pretty sure a good chunk of them are only resting and vesting.

They absolutely can allocate even 100 in total.

> The available Linux debuggers are gdb and lldb. They both suck. They crash all the time, don't understand the data types I care about, and they don't make the data I need available at my fingertips as quickly as possible.

quote from https://calabro.io/uscope

Of course gdb, lldb have their problems (e.g. smashing tui with app output, what can be easily fixed, or very very very very long tab-tab completion, and crashing of course), but I dont know anything better. I am forced to use visual studio at work and its debugger really sucks - it can't even compare strings in conditional breakpoint, it cant even skip all std::function / std::bind garbage to let me step in callback, it can't watch evaluated expressions.
Probably it can evaluate exprs (immediate window?), but there are very little guides about this.

So, gdb is winner for me now.
rr (record-repeat)[0] also looks very nice, but it require hardware support(((

Yep, and that's a big reason why combined Smoke + CO detectors are a bad idea. The smoke detector side doesn't wear out, the CO detector side does.

The beep patterns for "dead battery" and "detector worn out" are usually different. Generally they're printed somewhere on the unit, in a tiny font that's hard to see bleary-eyed at 3AM when it inevitably starts.
Not saying updates aren't necessary, especially security related but I loved we slowed down with the pace of updates, many times forceful updates that brake things that used to work. Many times users no longer have the latitude to make the choice when to update. They also brick devices that can't take up their updates rendering them obsolete. Updates aren't something inherently bad but they're being used in evil ways with no resort from users other than leave.
I can't tell from the spec sheet at https://www.thorlabs.com/_sd.cfm?fileName=MENLO_SMART-COMB-S... whether you have to configure the unit at build time to measure lasers near a given wavelength, or whether it really will measure any arbitrary laser you feed to it.

Under "Measurement Wavelength" it says "Choose one in the 630-2000 nm range," and often that type of specification means you have to specify the nominal frequency up front when you order it. Either way, it seems to be a big step forward in commercializing this stuff. The comb hardware I've seen takes up a good chunk of an entire room.
That's so interesting. I have crohns' (definitely not remission but not flare either), and nausea has never been a thing for me. It's just pain and the usual incomplete digestion if i stray at all out of my heavily restricted diet. How did you get remission? I'm about to have to up my remicade dose
U.S. Investigates Whether DeepSeek Smuggled Nvidia AI GPUs via Singapore
To be fair, the Thames Tideway is storage, whereas the Elizabeth Line is transit.

That is, if you're stuck in a tunnel on an Elizabeth Line train for an hour that's a fault, everybody wants to fix that and then you'll get to Reading or, Heathrow (airport) or Woolwich or whatever.

But a turd in the Thames Tideway is supposed to be sat there, it's temporary storage, the idea is if twice as much rainfall as normal happens over a 24 hour period, we don't need twice as much sewage treatment capacity, we just need to store those turds for a while so that on average it works out OK.

Which still doesn't answer your original objection - Thames Water are shit, blame the Tories for once again taking a monopoly at point of use service which costs money and "improving" it by giving private investors a way to make money and then saying Oops when of course they take the money but leave the problem they were supposed to be solving unfixed.

In the very big picture the original problem, as for our rail infrastructure, is that England is very, very old. London has a single Combined (ie rain water and human effluent mix) sewer system because it was built many years before anybody invented separated sanitary and rain water sewers. A retro-fit upgrade, which some US cities have done, is incredibly expensive, nobody wants to pay for that even if it could be attempted. I don't anybody has even tried to estimate for London. Tens of Billions of pounds? Hundreds?
Cool site!

Is there any way to see the top posts? It's really helpful when I'm trying to catch up on things.
I know HN doesn't, but I can usually use hn.algolia.com to find the top posts.
I don't know if it was deliberate, but writing code that interfaces with GDB is unpleasant enough that I opted to build our debugger-like tooling in eBPF + pyelftools instead.
It's always interesting when you get a glimpse into a foreign way of thinking about the world. It makes sense that someone for whom email has always been a process of interacting with a website might not realize that the "to" line is really just a free-form text field, and that all apparent structure is being applied ad-hoc by the client. But are you even thinking about email as something which has a client, if you're using GMail? I can see how it would be reasonable to imagine that the big mystery machine which appears to control the whole process would have some master database of email addresses in it somewhere.
I’ve not used the mouse pointer but the previous models had a rotary encoder which is easier to work with. What isn’t mentioned is that there are hardware controls on the steering wheel for volume, next previous etc so you don’t need to interact with things very much
Sort of? I don't see why thinking slow should inhibit the ability to follow instructions.

Hey folks, just dropping an early prototype of a project I’ve been working on.

Please watch the demo & read the memo; it’ll tell you what v1 is about and where we’re headed.

I’m sorry that I couldn’t publish/ready to install; the installation is janky, so please put your email down first.

Also, would appreciate any feedback, even the gnarly type :) Oh, and yes, this isn’t for everyone/setup (certainly not v1).
Previously it was a political 3rd rail to even suggest a maximum driving age. "You can't take my freedom to travel!!".

But now, with Uber/Lyft/Waymo and all the other options, it seems much more reasonable to implement such a thing. Why do we have to wait for someone to cause an accident before we take their license?
You're taking reductionism too far.

If what you're doing is illegal, and the court orders you to stop it and also stop lots of other things not found to be illegal, and also to refuse to allow a counterparty to work with you in even more unrelated fields, then it's fair for the counterparty to insist on having a say.

In this case, the proposed remedy would prohibit Apple from using GCP. Or even buying a Chromebook. Merits of that remedy notwithstanding, I don't see how anyone could have a problem with Apple objecting.
Which article of the Constitution describes "independent agencies"? I'm only aware of: Executive, Legislative, Judicial, and State agencies.
Huh? If a design is bad because the designers didn't think of something, it's bad. "They didn't think of it" isn't an excuse in any way, it's 100% irrelevant.

Again, if Go had stayed an internal language to Google, I wouldn't have any criticisms of Go. But when they decided to release and market it as a general purpose language, the fact that it wasn't originally designed as a general-purpose language becomes relevant only as the cause of a whole bunch of problems. And more to the point, people considering using it as a general-purpose language should not consider its original purpose, they should consider the purpose they intend to use it for.

I really don't get where you're coming from here. Are you just trying to be nice to the original devs or something? I'm not criticizing them for choices that probably made sense in the context of Google, I'm criticizing the language itself as it is used today, and I'm criticizing the choice to use Go for purposes it was never designed for.

I mean take a step back for a second and look at the big picture of this discussion. Would you really Go for a project if a modern language like Gleam or Rust was a better fit for your needs out of some sense of "fairness" to Go? If not, why is "fairness" even part of this conversation?
If you were interested in reducing harm you would ask this kind of question. If you are just interested in avoiding things that have a bad image, then you wont.
Or "questioning the life decisions that led to finding myself in this situation" mode network?
Like I said, watch what they do. The narratives people promote are self-serving and often counter-factual.

Federal spending went up during our current president's last administration (and down the following administration). It's almost certainly going up again this time. The deficit doubly so.
Apple did not expect to be prohibited from using GCP as part of a remedy, since that wasn't a topic of the trial.

Apple has known their deal with Google was on shaky legal ground for some time.

They should have been buying search engine startups and developing one internally for at least a decade now.
Because Chrome isn't a thing on iPhone. It's Safari webview with a very thin layer of Chrome branding around it. Users have very little incentive to switch. And considering Google search is the default on both, Google doesn't have much of an incentive to push users either.

I think a lot of companies switched to pushing Chrome via device management during the later IE days and never switched back. Presumably that's a decent chunk of market
