Well that sounds absolutely disgusting.

It's a very old cartoon, one of the first featuring Mickey Mouse goofing around on a small steam-powered boat on an American river.

He starts by pretending to captain the ship, playing with the steering wheel and horns, before he is chased away by the real captain where it is shown he is supposed to be scrubbing the decks. The ship then pulls into a small dock and he picks up Minnie Mouse, who brings a guitar and music on-board with her. A goat promptly eats the music and guitar and Mickey gets the idea to wind the goat's tail like a victrola to play music, and a sort-of musical number commences where Mickey interacts with a menagerie of animals to make sounds that compliment the song. By today's standards, some of the interactions range from amusing, to distasteful and mean-spirited. In the end he is caught again and is thrown into the boat's kitchen to peel potatoes, and throws a potato at an annoying parrot in the window, which is a last minor victory of sorts before the cartoon ends.

Disney themselves cut a scene where Mickey grabs a sow that is feeding its piglets and slaps them away, before prodding at its teats and manipulating it as if it was an accordion. Apparently this was cut not that long after the cartoon aired.

It was interesting but I didn't enjoy watching it a whole lot with today's eyes, I must say.

Anyway, with all that in mind, the joke here is that the video is only the start and end cards, as Steamboat Willie would be quite short without animal abuse. In reality, some might be preserved, but this is a humorous point that there is a lot of it.

"instead of saying Microsoft they’ll say Incase, designed by Microsoft"

yeah I'm not feeling that

The article neglected to include the old design for comparison, however..

There is a lot of learned value here, but I am left with a sense that it isn't worth enduring such a broad spectrum of hardships and indignities for the individual reward. The emotional reward; the sense that you are advancing Chinese society, would also be discomforting, in that I have no love for many of their policies.

One can live comfortably elsewhere without accepting constant compromises at a personal and professional level. I would bet also that, as in Japan, one is always foreign, gaijin, alien, at the end of thr day, and this fact will present as a hard cap on potential.

Maybe it's covered elsewhere in another article, but this is a lot to endure.

"The country's infamous college admission test, known as Suneung, is an eight-hour marathon with back-to-back papers in multiple subjects"

That sounds just terrible.

They finally removed the hate from twitter.

This matches the style used in automated mining vehicles in some jurisdictions where they have a blue light that is on when they are being automated.

Basically this. This is a constantly recurring story if you watch HN long enough. All these amazing free tools and services are liabilities. Use them with caution and have contingencies.

Honestly, I'm not american or a sociologist and it's not my place to comment on these issues in depth, even if I am disgusted by some of the discourse.

Consider it thoughtfully left empty for your own interpretation, like a color by numbers puzzle. Maybe people who are tested via standardized means and found wanting.

Or maybe it's people who don't really believe in society and government at large, or people who believe in vigilante justice over rule of law. Perhaps people with fixations on self-armament but who never actually use it to fight tyranny when it comes calling. Or people who fixate on wedge issues like restricting access to lifesaving natal operations, or whether the federal or state governments should interfere in who can play in what sports league instead of deferring to the people in charge of the league.

Or maybe not those people. Maybe other people. Who knows! Not I.

The key point was that areas that test poorly for education correlate with low trust of authority.

The people who need to be smarter don't trust either the government or experts to do it as they have oppositional defiance, or think it's population control or nanomachines. The people who are already quite smart are suffering from a variety of smartness related conditions which often results in depression. Tough sell.

We have seen people 3d printing guns and surrendering them for profitm

happens to me when I'm using my VPN. I turn it off and it's fine.

I suspect in-ear buds worsened this. The risks need to be told to people multiple times through childhood.

Also, imo, ear-plugs should be offered at the door at live shows for free. Any stigma against self protection in social circumstances should be removed.

Sample size was decent. Seems positive!

"The sample included n = 233, n = 66, and n = 44 participants at the three time points, respectively. Trait mindfulness, specifically description and non-judging of inner experience, was increased, and neuroticism was decreased after 4 weeks of microdosing compared to baseline."

In Western Australia they are a racket. Land is burned for burning's sake as an area of required burning is defined and people rush to hit a quota. Studies are showing that land left untouched for years is actually less flammable than land in the medium turn after burn-off. Additionally, the effects on air quality cannot be discounted either. It is a politicized issue and people are terrified of being seen as not doing anything to combat bushfires that would otherwise threaten homes.

The sun is bright, water is wet, Autodesk screws its customers, the world turns.

nobody forced him to submit a real, ridiculous offer for twitter when he was clearly not serious

nobody forced him to take direct control of it and proceed to run it into the ground

nobody forced him to do a costly rebrand that added no value and made it look like a porn site

nobody forced him to besmirch his reputation by conducting a scorched earth cull of twitter staff, having numerous public brawls and spats, making him look like a bad leader

nobody forced him to pick a fight with city councils and the owners of buildings he was renting over nonsense, cementing his reputation as erratic, untrustworthy and belligerent

nobody forced him to be repeatedly, vociferously transphobic, to complain bitterly about leftism, or to talk about how pizzagate was real and scare away all the wealthy twitter sponsors

nobody forced him to promote conspiracy theories

nobody forced him to openly court the alt-right

nobody forced him to do anything. He has been messing around and finding out for a while now, and now that he bought his own kool-aid and the stakes are so high that even a skilled team of people managing his numerous, constant screw-ups are not able to help save his image. This man went from seemingly a beloved Tony Stark like figure to a ranting lunatic all of his own accord.

Because they commonly swap to profit extraction models when they fail to integrate the acquisitions, and after that they typically shutter otherwise viable businesses. Most recently seen with Unity and Weta Technologies

And what is it you do to survive?

And when you're done doing whatever it is that is, do you go home to your home, your stable, if you like, to sleep and eat?

Are you truly so different from a horse in the scheme of things just because you spend a portion of your free time staring at a mobile phone?

My point was that web tech isn't those things. At that point we're just comparing it to one or more native apps, and for most jobs I'd prefer to work on and prefer to use a native apps ten times out of ten.

So what exactly is it you do all day? How do you pay rent?

To wrench the metaphor, if horses had banded together, they could have fought back against humans and seized some power and rights for themselves. Instead they were conditioned to accept their bad conditions. The same is true of humans. Most humans accept terrible indignities and injustices routinely through apathy.

Web won because of the long running con of "write once, run everywhere", which has in practice caused a myriad of extra work as it was not true of:

- operating systems,

- browsers,

- aspect ratios, or,

- devices

Web technology is a scam, constantly reinventing itself. There are no true experts, everyone is scrabbling for the next framework which promises the world but just expresses the same set of problems in a new and interesting syntax, with increasingly unintuitive paradigms.

It is eternally "almost getting there", near enough but not good enough, needing to own increasingly more things that should rightly belong to an operating system to work acceptably.

I have seen anecdotes of people struggling with payment processors when making these products. What's your experience?

Yeah, it's over. Avalonia has blossomed into a functional framework in the time it's taken for MAUI to get to wherever here is. It's basically a drop-in replacement for WPF in terms of controls, to a degree that honestly surprised me. The default styling isn't that sexy, but you can change it, just like WPF, so I'd say it's mission complete as far as ordinary apps are concerned!

I think Microsoft has given up on facilitating application development beyond VS and C#.

Wow, that's crappy of them. I previously held them in high regard

10 patients, but one dropped out, so 9. 6 were given a negligible dose for safety and one of these later died. One of the three remaining lied about heart issues and had a serious heart attack immediately after injection. So at best you have a sample size of two. Two people!!

Really not the promising study the title suggests.

"They plan to enroll ~40 more patients.

Meanwhile a new version of the therapy, VERVE-102, is in the works. The newcomer uses a similar base editing technology and an upgraded nanoparticle carrier with potentially better targeting.

The team plans to launch a randomized, placebo-controlled trial by 2025"

So that might be promising, albeit later.

I don't mind the terse messages, it's functional. It is rude for allowing applications to steal application focus. You can thankfully use a hack to disable this though.
