How do you think the US got so many international students?
While I agree we're not all implementing physics engines, there is a spectrum of complexity that is both business and technical between a todo app and a banking system.

Developer brains are still much more efficient at holding the different layers of context involved to build systems.
No. There are many things that are path dependent and much harder to fix if you do it wrong the first time. People resign and move on, and it can take decades to build up the skills again. For example: if Trump breaks Ukraine, how do you fix that later? Deals are signed. The war stops. China is now emboldened to have a shot at Taiwan.
Congratulations, you've discovered class analysis. Unfortunately, that mode of thinking was successfully stigmatized during the Cold War's red scare, so good luck getting any group with power to take it seriously.
I'm not convinced it wont matter. And I don't agree with your reasoning why.
Preventing fraud does not require allowing a 19 year old alleged cybercriminal have broad access to government systems.

There are more systematic, less disruptive ways to accomplish these goals.

Or, to put it a bit of hyperbole around it... "Burn it to the ground!" is rarely the best approach to changing a system that is largely working as intended.

Ask HN: Practical Resources for Progressive Disclosure, Adaptive UI?
I've been thinking a lot about user interface design lately. Specifically, I've been thinking about breaking down large applications supporting myriad of specialized user workflows.

I'd be grateful for any shared material you've found helpful for building systems that employee these concepts.

P.s. I've been failing to find a blog post written between 2021 & 2022 that broke these concepts down nicely. The site appeared to be using some kind of graph paper background if that helps ring anyone's memory. I can't place it exactly, but the author discussed applications that would dynamically pop-in features relevant for users' workflows.
I dunno how what you're saying negates my point. I was actually gonna add that the same thing can be said of Asia, which even more so needs to be split into quadrants to find clear similarities in culture.
https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev

Download and search !Compiler in:

:and you'll see the commented Compiler class source code:

"The compiler accepts Smalltalk source code and compiles it with respect to a given class. The user of the compiler supplies a context so that temporary variables are accessible during compilation."

It would be easier to install Cuis Smalltalk and use the Smalltalk browsers to explore the Compiler code.
You refund them and it’s solved. You don’t have that option with free users.
But government agencies ARE audited!

EDIT - since apparently HN doesn't believe me, auditing the executive branch is one of the primary functions of the GAO. This started in 1997. And while DoD's finances are still extremely problematic, the government overall has made massive strides in making itself auditable and accountable. And there are very low levels of actual fraud being found. While statements like the "DoD failed it's audit" are technically true, it's not because fraud was uncovered - instead it's because of decades of poor accountability, a problem the government has been actively working on correctling for nearly 20 years.
"I, personally, am ignorant of this thing, therefore it could not possibly be important" is a _wild_ approach to things.

Possibly just a very unusual form of solipsism?

Not just that, but all the gov investigations into Musk companies which have now been terminated (directly or indirectly because there's no one to pursue them anymore)
Why are we giving these people charitable interpretations any more? Elon Musk did a full on nazi salute at the inauguration rally; since then he and his cronies have extralegally tried to insert themselves inside the entire american government to cripple the regulations that prevent him and other techno-fascists doing exactly what they want with their effectively infinite money.

USAID, as far as I can tell, is stoking anti-US sentiment in many places by importing their own cultural values, and that's a known thing State Department officials have commented on.

Additionally, to be specific on even worse activity:

A few months ago, $9M of USAID went to an organization affiliated with Al Qaeda.

The Middle East Forum recently found $164M in USAID grants to radical organizations.

Apart from that, we've since found lots of evidence of USAID funding Hamas specifically. $900K was given days before the October 7th attack.

There's even pictures of Al Shabaab terrorists inside a USAID tent.

There is actually a definition of what is correct, and I'm pretty sure Adobe Photoshop does it in one of its modes.

It's just pure grayscale antialiasing of the underlying letterform, with the correct gamma used by the monitor. Or subpixel rendering if you want, as long as it matches your screen's actual LCD layout.

The issue is that that's not necessarily what's most readable. So various forms of hinting and darkening can be introduced to improve readability, and all of that is of course entirely subjective.
> Not realizing that is a sure road to burnout (and yes, I'm just as guilty of that myself).

Humans are shaped by experience. This is both a boon and a curse. I have been also been on the hot end of the stick and burned myself down, sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly. Understanding that I don't want to go through this anymore was the point I started to change.

> Collaborating on software development is a social activity and stuff like convincing maintainers to trust you and your approach is just as important part of it (if not more important) as writing code.

Writing the code is at most 5% of software development IME. This is what I always say to people I work with. I absolutely love writing code, but there are so many and more important activities around that, I can't just ignore them and churn out code.
I think the idea behind it is really clever. You don't know how to manufacture the material. Create a test that separates the good particles. Sieve through mountain of crushed material, out comes small amount of good stuff. Genius.

Right exactly. They're not tactful, but they also weren't in bad faith. Marcan should have taken 5 minutes to realize that he's the boss, he's the one doing the work, nobody is entitled to anything in free software and that if people want a feature sooner they can either fund the project or kick rocks. Anyone who's been in open source for over 2, definitely 3 understands this.

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42881012
As a general point I agree that it would be better that a flag disables replies to the entire subthread (although it shouldn't [dead] it), just because 99% of the time they're just not good discussions. However, the claim that this is somehow "destroying lives" is rather unserious. Whatever may or may not be going on on Kiwifarms has little to do with HN, and the occasional idiotic comment on HN is ... just the occasional idiotic comment on HN. There are also not really that many of them.

Also, I'll add that whenever I've seen an unflagged hateful comment I've emailed hn@ycombinator.com, and the success rate in getting the comment killed and people told off (or banned) is thus far exactly 100%. This usually happens if someone leaves a comment a few days after the discussion dies down, so few see (and flag) it.
It fails at deductive reasoning though. Pick a celebrity with non-famous children that don't obviously share their last name or something. If you ask it "who is the child of <celebrity>", it will get it right, because this is in its training data, probably Wikipedia.

If you ask "who is the parent of <celebrity-child-name>", it will often claim to have no knowledge about this person.

Yes sometimes it gets it right, but sometimes also not. Try a few celebrities.

Maybe the disagreement is about this?

Like if it gets it right a good amount of the time, you would say that means it's (in principle) capable of reasoning.

But I say, that if it gets it wrong a lot of the time, that means 1) it's not reasoning in situations when it gets it wrong, but also 2) it's most likely also not reasoning in situations when it gets it right.

And maybe you disagree with that, but then we don't agree on what "reasoning" means. Because I think that consistency is an important property of reasoning.

I think that if it gets "A is parent of B, implies B is child of A" wrong for some celebrity parents, but not for others, then it's not reasoning. Because reasoning would mean applying this logical construct as a rule, and if it's not consistent at that, it makes it hard to argue that it is in fact applying this logical rule instead of doing who-knows-what that happens to give the right answer, some of the time.
> PPI is high enough on modern displays that the reduction in resolution won't matter.

Have you looked at the desktop monitor market recently? There are still a lot of models that are not substantially higher PPI than what was normal 20 years ago. PCPartPicker currently shows 1333 monitors in-stock across the stores it tracks. Of those, only 216 have a vertical resolution of at least 2160 pixels (the height of a 4k display). Zero of those 4k monitors are smaller than 27", so none of them are getting close to 200 PPI.

On the low-PPI side of things, there are 255 models with a resolution of 2560x1440 and a diagonal size of at least 27". One standard size and resolution combination that was common over a decade ago still outnumbers the entirety of the high-PPI market segment.

If you look at the Steam Hardware Survey results, their statistics indicate an even worse situation, with over half of gaming users still stuck at 1920x1080.

If subpixel antialiasing made sense during the first decade after LCDs replaced CRT, then it still matters today.

If they are flagged, how would they thrive? Fewer people are seeing them as you mention (and even then, many people do have showdead turned on and flag those comments). None of the non-flagged comments on that thread to me (at first glance on a quick skim, anyway) seem like they are "abusive" or "toxic" or whatever other word wants to be used by Asahi it seems like. Indeed, people are pointing out that you can't censor opinions on a forum that you don't control such as HN.

> Isn't mesa portable? Or are there parts that are OS-specific?

IDK. I'm not familiar with mesa enough to know how portable it is. That said, I do know that it's primarily deployed on linux. An issue with portability is simply that when big projects like mesa are developed, non-linux environments are rarely developed (No clue, for example, if you can build mesa for BSD).

> Or do you mean that being on Linux makes GNU stuff easy?

Mostly this. I don't think, for example, those GNU tools will port over to redox. Building them targeting android is a snap.
The fascinating thing is that the political right largely prefers ICE vehicles in the USA. This is a combination of factors, like more rural voters who need more range/work more blue collar jobs/haul firewood/etc. Combined with a personality type that is more cautious about change. And also, the insane prices for things like Teslas here. Perhaps Musk's close association with President Trump will gain him a small number of new rich fans on the political right, but most common Americans in most of the country aren't even considering a Tesla to begin with, and it's the majority of folks with lower incomes that put Trump back in office this time.

Agreed, supporting apple devices is going to be a maintenance nightmare as it goes against the wishes of apple. At best, apple involuntarily makes reverse incompatible changes which breaks the drivers and at worst apple specifically sabotages the drivers to keep people in the walled garden.

This may be controversial but you also don’t have a right to merge in code to the kernel. If the maintainers don’t want rust code then you should write your drivers in C. And if you don’t like that you can maintain your own kernel tree in rust and take on the maintenance burden.

Your charitable reading is too charitable. One of the benefits of using types to help guarantee properties of programs (e.g. invariants) is that types do not get out of sync with the code, because they are part of the code, unlike documentation. The language implementation (e.g. the compiler) automatically checks that the types continue to match the rest of the code, in order to catch problems as early as possible.

> After a lot of user research, members of both Edge and Chromium determined that a contrast value of 1.0 closely matched the text rendering of pre-Chromium Edge and looked consistent compared to other native Windows applications.

So they decided that not deliberately lowering contrast will fix the contrast problem. So this basically stems from that annoying designer trend of grey text on grey backgrounds that was in turn based on the false assumption that our displays have infinite contrast.

Is there any documented process in place to ensure that the staffer has to take the explanation into account?

Government workers have been relentlessly antagonized by Trump and his party. How can we be sure these situations are handled correctly and fairly, especially when the people doing the "auditing" don't know what they are doing due to missing qualifications?
I don’t know, I read a Pakistan Today article where a doctor said cousin marriage is no big deal as it “only” causes defects in 2% of cases. Interestingly, this article is now impossible to find on Google. You can find a dozen news articles of people in the UK arguing about this.

Hopefully the discourse is shifting, but a culture can be dysfunctional (like allowing first cousin or even worse double first cousin marriages, for example) for a very long time before it collapses.

Surprised media monkey never makes this list. I started using it initially because it worked work with my ipod but I still use it because if the visual UI.
