Much as I appreciate the intent of the law, any regulation based on disclosure / consent / name-and-shame is bound to fail or make things worse when enshittification is already the standard rather than the exception.

41,796,613 | comment | obfuscator | 2024-10-10T07:56:02 | null | So many left-handers here that feel disadvantaged in our right-handed society. If you ever want to do one thing where you feel you left-handedness gives you an advantage, pick up Kendo (the Japanese swordfighting). You have to wield your sword like everybody else but the aiming is done with your left while the right just provides the power for the stroke (the katana is a two-handed weapon). Since you are not supposed to fully power your slashes anyway, I felt being left-handed is a slight advantage in Kendo. | null | null | 41,758,870 | 41,758,870 | null | [

There are so many systems where the original team is no longer there and everything 'runs'; especially with VPSs, ec2, docker, kubernetes etc, things are just running blackboxes and when there are changes that don't automatically work and break things, no-one has a clue what to do. A lot of bitrot as well; we had a client who use codeigniter <i>ancient</i> version in 500+ internal and external applications running on ancient php (not supported) etc and with IT demanding updates to the infra, things started failing fast ; a lot of these systems were manually installed on servers that are basically forgotten until something goes down. There are 100s of 1000s of companies in the world that have situations like this and I cannot even attempt to estimate the costs of downtime, hacks, 'must rewrite' new consultants coming in, 'must rewrite' resume driven new employees etc. | null | null | 41,796,581 | 41,795,075 | null | [

English is not a tonal language at all, so how could you possibly represent tonality with Latin characters, in a way that English speakers with no extra training could read such text and pronounce the Chinese word in an acceptable way? I don't think it's possible. It's just like trying to use Japanese characters to represent English names: a LOT is lost in translation, because there's simply no way to represent all English sounds in Japanese, since Japanese has far fewer possible sounds than English.<p>>It could go the other way if Mandarin is the dominant trade language.<p>But it's not, English is, like it or not. If you want to communicate with someone in any random country in the world, you have a very good chance of doing so if you speak English, regardless of your <i>or</i> the listener's native language.

It can do various things in various contexts, so you can't rely on people to use it for that, and visitors can't rely on it because it might just e.g. minimise a maximised window on MacOS, leaving the website on-screen. | null | null | 41,794,839 | 41,793,597 | null | null | null | null |

ASIC routers can also route packets with latency between 750us (0.75ms) and 10us (0.01ms!), complemented by multi-second (>GB) packet buffers.<p>QoS is rarely used at scale, if anything only on the access layer, because transit has become so cheap that ISPs have more bandwidth than they know what to do with. These days, if a link is congested, it's not cost saving, but instead poor network planning. QoS also has very limited benefits at >100G scale.<p>With that said, I feel that this article is definitely missing the full picture. | null | null | 41,793,658 | 41,793,658 | null | [

Very procedural, very verbose. All of the fancy indirection you get with coding everything with higher order functions just makes the program impossible to debug later. Procedural style programming lends itself to debugging, and I definitely am so dumb I need to debug my own programs.<p>I may simply be too dumb for lots of fancy functional programming. I can barely understand code when reading one line and statement at a time. Reading functions calling functions calling functions just makes me feel like gravity stopped working and I don't know which way is up.

AT&T says it ships "tens of thousands" of packages a day, so let's assume 50k packages. That's about 357.000 $ a day they would have to pay extra to FedEx... assuming 500$ unit cost, AT&T can have 714 phones a day stolen and still be net zero.<p>But that calculation only holds up because pure financial beancountering ignores associated costs: customers aren't happy when they have to wait for another package (that might get stolen as well) and each stolen phone supplies criminals with about 300$ if it gets shipped to China for being parted out - criminal activity by organized gangs is a cost that society bears in the end. | null | null | 41,796,181 | 41,796,181 | null | [

41,796,675 | comment | puzzledobserver | 2024-10-10T08:07:41 | null | I'm right-handed, and usually use scissors with my right hand. When I try using them with my left hand, two things happen: First, they doesn't sit right in my palm, because of the way they are sculpted. Beyond this, and more importantly, they are no longer as effective in cutting things.<p>Here's my understanding of why this is. When holding the scissors with your hands, in addition to the up-and-down force you exert on the blade with your fingers, you also exert a small side-to-side force with your fingers. With my right handed scissors in my right hand, this force pushes to the outside on the upper handle and to the inside on the lower handle. This force also makes the scissors feel more comfortable.<p>On the other side of the fulcrum, though, the upper handle controls the lower blade and the lower handle controls the upper blade. Here, the lateral forces end up drawing the blades closer together, giving a tighter pair of edges between which shearing forces are applied. This makes the cutting action more effective than if lateral forces were absent.<p>In my left hand, the (outside at the top and inside at the bottom) lateral forces end up pushing the blades further apart on the other side of the fulcrum. This reduces the shear force and makes the cutting action less effective.<p>To compensate for this while operating the scissors with your left hand, you would need to adopt a weird style: Consciously pull to the inside with your thumb, and to the outside with your remaining fingers. You'll notice that the scissors are now much more effective than before. It is also a deeply uncomfortable grip.<p>The issue is that scissors are (surprisingly) chiral sculptures. In the case of regular right-handed scissors, when viewed edge down, the handle closer to the viewer passes through the left of the fulcrum. I have never used a pair of left-handed scissors, but I would presume that for them, the closer handle passes through the right side of the fulcrum. | null | null | 41,796,536 | 41,758,870 | null | [

As demonstrated by the percentage of left-handed players at the top level is higher than the population average? I heard the same thing is true with boxing, presumably other martial arts, and tennis (and who knows what else).<p>The explanation I've heard is that in any sport, on average one would train more with right-handed opponents. So when facing a left-handed opponent you are significantly less experienced, which results in left-handedness having a slight advantage.<p>That is a bit different than what you describe (since you're not allowed to use your katana in a left-handed fashion), but still. | null | null | 41,796,613 | 41,758,870 | null | [

But how many words should you actually use in your image titles to get the best results? I recently tested out AI-powered tools like Alt Text Generator that not only automate alt text but also suggest ideal word counts for image titles. In my findings, having the right balance—usually around 8 to 12 words—can significantly boost your rankings without overloading the content. Let’s dive into the science behind image title lengths and see how AI is changing the way we optimize web images. What do you think is the ideal word count?

This is a serious difficulty for a computer programmer, but it is unlikely to be a problem for a prisoner or for a manual worker.<p>It is likely that at least in a country like USA, the ratios for prisoners have an adequate protein content, even if they may be not tasty.<p>In countries where prisoners were treated less well, for instance in the Eastern Europe countries occupied by the Russians after WWII, where the political adversaries of the communists have been either killed or jailed, the prisoners who have survived their prison term were really stick figures at the return from prison, so your images about prisoners must be biased by the US prisons.<p>In the Hollywood movies, many prisoners look like boxing competitors, but in many countries you will never see such well-fed prisoners. | null | null | 41,782,804 | 41,765,939 | null | null | null | null |
