Many markets today only exist due to unfair exploitation of its staff, and the exploitation will continue for quite a long time if everyone who unionizes ends up without a job, since that will discourage unionizing at other companies. We ha

I had to uninstall unifont to get nice looking CJK fonts in Firefox; somehow the font-fallback for my font was picking unifont over all of the other fonts installed...

You wrote up "of course I refigured it" as if refiguring mirrors is something any reader would know how to do. I (and I suspect most of HN) does not; have you (or others) written on this topic?

But it's been illegal to peddle porn to minors for much longer than it's been illegal to peddle social media, so it's a good proxy for how effective our current efforts are.

TL;DR: If I find a library I'm using would need dependency versioning, I consider that library broken and find (or write) an alternative. You can always just add a version check and error out if it's too outdated. The thing there

The most interesting thing about this article was the Bow Wow Wow song linked. It's a song about music piracy (including a usage of the word "pirate") from 1980, including this stanza: It used to break my heart when I wen

The power of macros is somewhat overblown and not at all hard to explain. Consider e.g. the "with" statement in Python[1]. Someone came up with the idea, found a way to integrate it into python and a year later, people could use

That can still have work disincentives; anywhere the magnitude of slope of the benefits is close to (or steeper than) the slope of the income as it phases out, then working more can get you no gain (or lose you money).

I'm pretty sure it was Hyprland, not Omarchy that caused the controversy (partly because AFAICT they don't sponser Omarchy). They tweeted about Omarchy, but I don't expect companies to do background checks for tweets...

We can change the laws. Radio stations don't have "licensing issues" with playing songs. From another angle, if copyright were more like it was originally in the US, every single show I watched as a kid would be in the publi

Netflix had a 4 year deal with Starz, which is where a significant chunk of their early streaming content came from (Including all the Disney films).

A more generous reading of this is "If you were around kids more, you would probably understand that kids have internet access even without their parent's permission and/or help" At least some of this access is essentia

I'm also opposed to this law (mainly I think it is a huge invasion of privacy with near zero chance of actually protecting kids), but there are some realities people should know. My kids were all exposed to some relatively extreme stuf

It seems to me that short-term simulations will tend to underprice risk. Imagine a market where you can buy only two stocks: Stock A goes up invariably 1% per month Stock B goes up 1.5% per month with a 99% chance, but loses 99% of its val

Looks like the part was advertised as ABS-CF, but may have actually been PLA-CF, which makes a big difference. There are plenty of even higher temperature materials that can be 3d-printed. PAHT-CF is fine at fairly high temperatures (the n

Why is the 3d-printed part highlighted; upon first reading this looks like the part softened; it didn't separate on FDM boundaries. Wouldn't a similar thing have happened if it were formed in a different way, but of the same mate

Did you perhaps use the diameter of the earth rather than the radius? #PiIsWrong https://www.tauday.com/ You have: (40075km/tau)^2*4*pi/1073741824/1073741824 You want: cm^2 * 4.434018 / 0.225

I'm surprised it took so long for CRF to dethrone 2-pass. We used to use 2-pass primarily so that files could be made to fit on CDs.

I'm not in the scene anymore, but for my own personal encoding, at higher quality settings, AV1 (rav1e or SVT; AOM was crazy slow) doesn't significantly beat out x265 for most sources. FGS makes a huge difference at moderately h

I admit I trusted your math; you seem to be off by a factor of 4: You have: 510.1e6km^2/1073741824/1073741824 You want: cm^2 * 4.4244122 / 0.22601872 Strangely enough, units lacks area_earth, so I used the numb

I was responding to the general sentiment of: > I often find we don't appreciate enough people accepting their failures and changing their mind. For some reason I see the opposite: people respecting those who "stick to their gu

I think it's because when people do a 180 due to public pressure, it's hard to know to what degree they changed their mind and to what degree they are just lying about what is on their mind.
