Do note that unfortunately any future devices by Sony are just phones by other manufacturers that are just Sony branded. Sony stopped their first party device manufacturing, so your mileage of the hardware might be wildly different in the future.

This is false, recently the details element has gotten support for grouping them: the [name] attribute. This effectively enforces tab-like semantics where only one of the grouped details elements can be open at a time.

This is a quite recent addition and the modern web is evolving too fast so I wouldn't put it past myself for missing this :)

Yay for progress and for JavaScript free solutions!


No, it's still true. I'm aware of that hack, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problems with pure HTML and CSS tabs.

Crucially, the `name` attribute does not semantically turn a group of <details> elements into a set of tabs. All it does is introduce the (visual) behavior where opening one <details> element closes the others.

I posted a list of accessibility issues with the <details> hack in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46415271


Just disable ClearType and all your text will be uniform :)

Well that's not what I want, I want to specifically prevent some passages in text from being rendered as anti-aliased for art reasons.

At some point, if you're doing it for art reasons, it makes the most sense to just render to an image.

right, i can solve this okay by rendering an image and then putting transparent text over it in order to preserve editability, but it's such a pain in the ass, and i know windows is capable of doing it because it does do it, i'm not looking for a solution, i want to understand a facet of windows font rendering

Not that I can answer for OP but as a personal anecdote; I've never been more productive than writing in Rust, it's a goddamn delight. Every codebase feels like it would've been my own and you can get to speed from 0 to 100 in no time.


Yeah, I’ve been working mainly in rust for the last few years. The compile time checks are so effective that run time bugs are rare. Like you can refactor half the codebase and not run the app for a week, and when you do it just works. I’ve never had that experience in other languages.


Technically EU already has this as a right in the recent DSA legislation to be able to appeal any automated moderation that online platforms hand out.

"computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision." - IBM, 1979


I don't understand this phrase. If I'm deciding whether to work for a company, I don't care about the ability to hold management decision-makers to account. I care only about the quality of the decisions. (I would rather an unaccountable decision maker that makes good decisions to an accountable decision maker that makes bad decisions.) Putting myself in the shoes of an owner of a company, I also have the same preference. The only person I can imagine actually preferring this rule is management themselves, as it means they can't be replaced by computers no matter how much worse they are at their jobs than a computer would be.


They could get rid of the overheating problems by slapping some Frore systems cooling chips on the dies and IO chips. No need to cook the mf out of the chips as we already have solutions to cool them.

You seem to forget that all the people on public transit essentially get their time back. It's so much more efficient than everyone having to use their own time to all individually make that effort.

I made some calculations like a year ago using public data from Finland in the year 2023, the people lost collectively 55k years to driving cars. If we could take all that time back by doing minimum wage work in Finland, that'd add 4,841,511,500.55€ to the GDP and add approximately 164,006,202.08€ of taxable income to the state.

Of course that's just an approximation which presumes everyone could do their jobs while commuting and that you could get 100% efficiency. (But many of the values in the data were rounded down, so this is technically just a lower bound on the value ROI)

Can I use the time in subway while commuting to work to get groceries or to get my child to a doctor's appointment?

Now do that with transit. Keep in mind, that transit is typically 2-3 times slower than cars in well-designed cities (i.e. not Manhattan-style hellscapes). It absolutely is true of Helsinki. Try dropping 100 random points on the city map and plot the routes between all of them, for both cars and transit. You'll find that cars are typically 3x faster.

Can you use the time in a car while commuting to work to do the same?

What makes a city "well-designed" in your eyes?


> Can you use the time in a car while commuting to work to do the same?

Yes. In a well-designed city, a car trip will give you more time to do that.

> What makes a city "well-designed" in your eyes?

Not large, at most 300000 population, and designed for the needs of people, not for bike-lanes. So wide roads, plenty of parking (including parking lots), low density, large houses providing plenty of space, etc.


So your premise is that a city designed for cars is better for cars?


Just as cities designed for bikes are better for bikes, not people. Same idea.


With apps like Shizuku you can do the whole nine yards all locally untethered with one device :)
