I was thinking that too but this seems to be in line with the https://thispersondoesnotexist.com series of websites where they are AI generated

Just need Apple to go down :)


I'm happy we don't let the building/access of infrastructure to companies only and instead let them work something out with the government/EU. In a country where space is not abundant, it would be hell to search through multiple proprietary stations to find the right charger.


While the project itself is interesting, the styling of the website is quite enchanting as well!


It looks really nice but it's a usability nightmare in my opinion. Swiping back with the touchpad doesn't work. Pinch to zoom doesn't work. Page up/down and home/end don't work. Most clickable elements are not focusable I'm not trying to shit on the devs here. I just wish more developers were more mindful of usability/accessibility. Bonus: Press tab a couple times to break the scrolling.


Hi, I am the developer of the PolarBear. Thanks for your feedback. I agree with you and tried to add some shortcuts. But I am not a website developer. I can do website. But It is not my profession. I tried to do a nice website in a short time and I used a library named swiper.js I hope soon I can find more time and improve the website or have more funds and hire someone.


Oh yeah, I see what you mean and I agree with you!


I recently switched from Android to iOS and it irritates me that Apple push their own product multiple times a week. It might be because my account is new but at least once a week I get notifications of the free year of apple tv and apple arcade without any way to disable this (if you guys know of one please respond)

Besides the notifications I think it's a dark pattern from Apple to actually show a red number badge above the settings app when there is no actionable item except the two things mentioned above.


>Apple push their own product multiple times a week

I call bs - unless you've invited the notifications

I've never gotten such a notification in over a decade of running iOS


I agree that would be a dark pattern, but you can dismiss the offers and the red badges go away.


> This incident affects: North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA)).

How come we are affected by this in the Netherlands?


They've updated it to

>North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA), Ashburn (IAD)), Europe (Amsterdam (AMS)), and Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong (HKG), Tokyo (TYO), Singapore (QPG)).


MAD affected, not on the list. I assume it is all locations.


I've seen errors return to me referencing a LON (London I assume) server - Details: cache-lon4238-LON for example


Auckland (AKL) is affected but not on the list.


Seems like they are still taking stock of exactly what is broken.

It has now been updated to a pretty sizable list.

edit: And now it looks like it includes every location.


I would say it is. It didn't start as one but over the decades it sure has become a general purpose language.

I can't find a domain where JS wouldn't fit the description. While it may be a bad fit for certain problems, it can still be done.


Safety-critical controller for manned or unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles, etc. High frequency trading. Tiny embedded devices. System libraries.

I’m sure I could come up with more. JavaScript is a tool, just like c, go, rust, python, lisps, etc. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you just didn’t consider all of these other domains when you made this comment.

Cheers!


The domains you listed are not really disproving my point. I'm certain that programs could be made in JavaScript for these domains but, like I said in my first comment, it's probably a bad fit.

For example: Espruino is a platform for embedded JavaScript.

I just think about it this way: Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean you couldn't


SPOILER!

It's the third option for question 25! You know there can only be one answer right and the only answer that leaves just one possibility is the third one.

It also seems you have a hard time responding to inverted questions. Just like in logic I try to invert the meaning. If you invert the meaning of the sentence, you also want to invert the answer. Let's say we inverted disagree into agree in question 20. The question would then become: Do you agree to receiving them?

The answer would be no. If you then invert the question back the answer would be yes.


Do you have any sources on this?


Not sure about the correlation with being introverted, but the sunlight-nearsightedness correlation is pretty well established [0], specifically light in the near ultraviolet range [1].

There was a really interesting article on HN years ago about this, but I can't find it. The researchers suggested this effect was a good reason to mandate outdoor recess for children during the school day – maybe in Australia?
