Well, I wouldn't call it a "market", exactly. But people spend money on plenty of things they don't need to. And if no one supports all the great stuff people work on and put up for free on the Web, then we'll just get more and more obnoxious advertisements and more crazy schemes from big businesses.

At TipTheWeb (see my comments above), we think that by supporting the publishers of the stuff you like online, you're helping to make the Web a place that's more valuable to you. We all want more of the good stuff and less of the crap. If you tip a blog post that you like 10 cents, then not only does the publisher of that blog make a little money, but they also get some information about which of the stuff they write is valuable to their readers. This is a feedback loop that's missing from advertisement-driven publishing, where they get the ad impression regardless of whether you like the content.
Kinder Eggs used to be pretty amazing things - some of the toys were incredibly clever and some assembled into structures larger than the egg it came in.

Over the last decade or so they've been cost-reduced into pretty boring things. No big loss here. And it's not like every ethnic grocer in the US is already carrying them (usually at insane prices not worth paying).
A bit more broad than you asked for, and maybe outdated in some respects, but here ya go:

http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

As to which Linux to use, http://Distrowatch.com is your friend. A few short summaries:

Gentoo or Arch if you know what you're doing.

Ubuntu or Mint for the desktop for noobs or people who want a Windows/Mac desktop replacement (eg just works, drivers easy to get, don't need to configure, etc.)

Fedora or CentOS if you want to start learning the RedHat Enterprise Linux side of things (different package managers, preference for KDE desktop instead of Gnome, etc.)

OpenSuse for... I'm not sure but I like what they're doing with it - good performance (better than Ubuntu if the last benchmarks I saw were any indication), worth keeping on your radar.

Debian and Slackware - old stalwarts, can't not mention them, Ubuntu is built on top of Debian (and Mint on top of Ubuntu).

What else...

This is why Section 230 needs to go. Without liability, businesses will make moderation and content decisions based on revenue, not public safety.

Trump thinks Section 230 is hurting him, but it's actually the only thing that's been protecting him.

This kind of seeming pattern is a gigantic Rohrschach blob in which people notice things based on their preconceived opinions and then backfit stories to them. Other people react based on theirs, and so we get the same exact flamewar as before, just on a meta level. Meta is internet forum crack. Flamewars on crack is bad idea.
How about private business (Apple) disallowing people to use an app (parler) on their property (iPhone)?
Murder is quite easy to define, whereas bad speech/bad argument seems so much more nuanced. I don't think it's an hyperbole moreso than the logical consequence of such a thought.
Imagine there exists a perfect AI, that can tag all tweets as “true, somewhat true, somewhat false, false”, I think it would be in the public interest to allow all tweets, but tag them accordingly.

We have laws against defamation, slander, incitement of violence; but no laws against lies. And I don’t think we should.
The responsibility of archiving presidential records should really not fall on a private company. If I had to put money on whether Twitter will be around a couple of decades from now, it'll be an easy "no".
I remain convinced that the only real solution to the twin problems of content moderation and freedom of speech rests in decentralized services (such as https://joinmastodon.org).
This might be an extremely unpopular thing to say, and should be obvious to the Secret Service, but obvious security threats have recently been less obvious to security officials, so here it is:

Please triple or quadruple the detail that protects Trump. Put him in a safe bunker if you have to. Please, please, please don't let anything happen to him right now.

Please do what it takes to let things cool off. We've got to get the temperature a safe distance from critical.

Manchester University has had a CS department and degree since 1965:

> Many on HN are accustomed to nice offices with a bunch of perks or remote work, but for a lot of us we work in conditions like this (or far worse) and it's just life.

I don’t know where you live, but I can assure you that what you’re describing is not “just life” in most developed countries. You’re not describing a normal office.

Offices like you describe continue to exist because employees put up with it. The tech job market is very hot right now. I would strongly encourage you to explore your options. What you’re describing is not normal or acceptable.

You don’t need to move to a Google type company with unlimited office budgets. Most companies are smart enough to know they need to address things like broken HVAC or not enough microwaves or unclean bathrooms by spending the relatively tiny amount of money to address the problem. It’s literally cheaper to address these issues than to lose good talent over such easily addressable frustrations.

When you move to a company that treats employees decently, you’ll find that you also get along with coworkers better because everyone is not already miserable and dreading their jobs.
Sadly, RTO is going to happen much quicker than people think. My guess is almost everyone will be in the office 2-3 days per week by July 1 and full time (or whatever arrangement they had pre-pandemic)right after Labor Day. I hope I'm wrong, because I love WFH.
Well to be honest, even though it is not a programming language, I would argue that this jacuzzi implementation is clearly superior to a non-suspended jacuzzi.

I think I tried a blog engine once that did this. Maybe it was https://movabletype.org/ ? In any case, I really wish more people/tools employed this strategy.
Well, as the README says, it's not an "adblocker" but a generic blocker.

Hiding Twitter and Facebook log-in functionality on Medium is a feature not a bug for me. By including those javascripts, both companies can build up a history of the sites I visit.

So I gather this is more of a privacy+ad blocker rather than strictly ad blocker.
For system level blocking on Android, I've come to like AdAway (root required).
After hearing Michael Pollan's interview about caffeine (specifically the parts about how long it's half-life is), I went from drinking 6-7 cups of [caffeinated] coffee daily for over 25 years to - decaffeinated tea.

I was prepared for withdrawal, but.. nothing really.
It seems to me that the words "sexism" and "racism" are perceived differently by society.

Compared to "racism", "sexism" is more often understood as "institutional sexism" rather than "personal prejudice against a different gender".

The statement "[some country] is sexist" is usually less controversial than "[some country] is racist", as the former gets more interpreted as "women have it worse in [some country]" but the latter as "people in [some country] are prejudiced towards other races".
Wake up from hibernation kicks in early in the boot process, before file systems are resumed. You must have a partition for that.
It doesn't always maximize long term benefits. For instance, let's say you tend to only hire men because they are (by a hypothetical measure) better. If you have a bro work culture, that may make it harder to recruit and retain talented women. It may also make it harder to be sensitive to the needs of women users. The same goes for racial and cultural diversity.
Correlated with severity doesn't mean similar prevalence. Yes people in the ICU get long term effects more than anyone else but that doesn't mean that long covid is as rare as landing in the ICU.

The estimates I see are over 10% across age groups do not fully recover.
I would not call it "human nature" or give up on changing it, but I agree that changing the name is a quick and easy win compared to changing the context.

Has any one tried Gaelyk on GAE?
I did the same, and it's proven very useful so far. I also started to use it as my journal.
It may be expensive, but you don't have to do "scaling" right now. A startup doesn't even know the business requirements or bottlenecks yet, how can it even begin to talk about scaling?

Scaling on GAE really works because of all the restrictions, and nothing stops you from restricting yourself in a similar way, e.g. in a similar vein the FriendFeed people have done: http://bret.appspot.com/entry/how-friendfeed-uses-mysql

The sysadmin part is also easy when you've got only 1 or 2 servers to worry about, the hard part of doing sysadmin is also when "scaling". Personally I can get an initial EC2 instance up and running in 2 hours tops, and then I can and have been automating that.

I've also worked on GAE apps, and from my experience the sysadmin stuff is replaced by at least 3/2 as much developer time, and this for trivial stuff.

Sorry for the analogy / bad language, but do you know what else scales? Fucking in the ass, i.e. no unexpected pregnancies, but that would be a stupid suggestion to make, wouldn't it?
Here are some guidelines [1].

I've answered your questions; have you read my post? Some people (eg. OP) merely point out the community is deviating from its focus. This is not necessarily a good or bad thing and it's not complaining rather than introspection of the community. Some people don't like the end result and leave, others stay behind to "evolve" the community.

I don't understand why you're (and others, admittedly) being so fast to condemn the "old folk". Even if you don't agree with their style of writing or their attitude, they have experience (inside the community, of course) you don't and know its issues quite well.

I love when new updates are available, it makes me feel productive!

But really, rolling release in production use is a little scary. It greatly increases the odds of something potentially going wrong in a routine update. I wouldn't mind more frequent releases, such as quarterly maybe; but this worries me a bit. I have a lot of trust in the Ubuntu team to be thorough in their testing, but we are all fallible and this is going to cost me some peace of mind.
The summary still doesn't provide any pricing information. A rough estimate: Paying back $27B over 14 years (2020-2034) is about $2B p.a. (ignoring interest!) & with about 20M Australians = $100 p.a. per capita earnings for NBN Co. Pretty ambitious for a wholesaler, but perhaps possible for a monopoly.
Indeed. I imagine that if the USPS were to be dissolved, there would need to be federal regulations put on their private competitors requiring universal service with low-cost options, much as there are in telecom. (And that the general public would strongly support such regulations not covering "junk mail".) I wonder whether FedEx/UPS/et al would be interested in such a system or not.
The best people to do this work will be someone who has just passed (or is working on) a level high than that. A high school lab report can be much better drafted by a undergrad freshmen than a grad student as he has done this recently and is much more connected with it while the grad student has elevated in terms of language and lowest common denominator of knowledge in any subject. They also tend to forget the basics somehow.
There's been a number of questions in this thread about Amazon killing off a payment product. Here's an excerpt from the email I got from them back in October:

"We want to let you know that we are retiring the payment processing features of FPS as we transition to our new solution, Login and Pay with Amazon. FPS will not be available for processing payments after June 01, 2015."

FPS = Flexible Payments Service.

I've been using it on one of my sites. Yes, it's extremely annoying that they're killing it off.
The problem is that the US has for a very long time pretty much unchecked global power. All our free-speech, what is it good for, if it cannot effect change? Look where Snowden is. Even the captain mentioned in the article pretty much told people what he did, and so is The New York Times now, but if people don't bat an eye what's the point? Heck the whole NSA spying thing was leaked something like 5 years before Snowden, and nobody cared.

I think most American's won't really care about what our government is doing to others thousands of miles away so long as we can buy our iPhones, watch our movies, and browse our TikTok.

I think the only practical thing that can be done is to encourage competition from America's equally-sized rivals (pretty much just China at the moment). That being said, these other countries are often not saints themselves (looking at you China), but competition is really the only thing that can check the abuse from any single party. While there are smaller "better" countries they are still within America's sphere of influence and even if you move there and avoid contributing to US taxes, you still end up contributing to that ecosystem that essentially powers the American system (most US allies participated in the war in the middle east).
Private walled gardens would pretty much kill the competitive scene of most games.

I used to play competitive dota (the original wc3 map) back in the day and the inhouse leagues were a massive pain in the ass. Same with all the various leagues for counter strike (1.6 at the time). UX was terrible, the moderation sucked and you still had to have anti-cheat as people would cheat even in private spaces. Usually the easiest way to get up the ladder was do something dubious and be good friends with the mods so they would rule in your favor.

People use cheats even at LAN events too. So yeah for competitive multiplayer anti-cheat is pretty much required.
I agree with you completely. But other desk jobs have management that actually understand and organise the work, not just make people sweat.
The question is also why?

Ukraine got what it wanted from the news. There's no point rubbing it in Russia's face any more, enraging the russians even more.

The same for US.
See, iirc, Matz years ago specifically said "fork Ruby". He wants lots of different versions which I feel to some extent means diverging from a formal spec, and then occasionally maybe coming back to it.
Beta user here. We're a globally distributed remote team that works on a project with significant nuance/context that voice messages have been amazing for. We also work entirely async.

So the benefit for us has been using Verbz to do voice, with automagical transcription as well as source audio. The task allocated and personal notation is icing on the cake.

We're still working out what else we want or need, or how best to use this, but that really core (maybe really niche) use case for us has been amazing. It... just works. This will be a default product and feature set within six months. Easy.
I really don't get what is so special about all of these trackpad debates. Honestly if my trackpad can do a 2 finger scroll I'm happy. Worst trackpad I've used was on my x201, and was only terrible because it was tiny and insensitive.
This is very cool. It looks much easier to use than the collection of Makefiles and build scripts I cobbled together in college.

One thing that’d make this even more awesome is the ability to drop in a data table and have it show up as a graph. The scripts I built in college allowed me to drop a CSV file into a directory and have it automatically turned into an EPS graph that I could use in LaTeX. It made for pretty easy, but very good looking reports.
Isn’t the issue, though, how do you scale this out? HTTP app servers are great... you can add and remove them at will, based on load, and customers never know the difference, because it only takes a few seconds after not accepting new connections for the existing ones to drain.

If you instead have servers holding state, those servers become a lot less ephemeral.

In addition, HTTP has built in caching, which is a HUGE benefit for scale.

Was it analog video? I worked with a guy who loved SGI systems and still had some back in 2016 and he said they made analog video an option, but it was the same A/V add-on card as analog audio so they just glued plastic caps over the video ports if you didn't opt for it.
Good questions!
Well, if it's anything like dancing (and I think it might be), we'll always have a hard time telling when we're good.

Going with that analogy, I'd say you know when it gets easier, when you begin to see forms and patterns, and can use them to tackle new challenges.

Some other thoughts:
* When you are solving problems and seeing how to improve your code through testing and refactoring.

* When you can start reading other people's code and understanding the gist of what is going on at a high level without getting bogged down in the details.

* When you start feeling very comfortable with your tools.

* When you feel the satisfaction of solving problems.

* When you help others learn something.

Finally, dance like no one is watching. Enjoy yourself. If it's not bringing you joy, then you are unlikely to progress further. Either way, enjoy the process.
> ... a Scheme implementation with as many and as complete of a selection of libraries as Python.

It's not quite the same size, but the Racket standard library is fairly close in size to pythons. It also has better GUI support, IIRC. It's selection of other libraries isn't quite as broad either, but it's decently sized, and you can use some things written for other implementations (well, mainly ones written in pure scheme).

Has he gone to europe before or since he cancelled that trip to switzerland in 2011, when those lawyers were threatening to have him arrested and tried?
I'll go one step further and simply call it a voluntary (by server owners) centralization of the web. Blocking the Daily Stormer (rightly or wrongly) shows that they are a political entity.
> For years apple mail on iOS would always show 1 unread message in "all mail" for gmail.

Just in case you are still seeing this, I had a similar issue that turned out to be a bug in Gmail and how Google put old Hangouts (or perhaps Google Talk?) conversations in your mailbox. Some very, very old conversations of mine were for some reason marked as unread, and this was showing up on the iOS unread count, but not the one on macOS.

If “placebo-resistant depression” and “treatment-resistant depression” were synonyms, we would expect that excluding treatment-resistant depression from your study would result in the studying showing precisely no difference between treatment and placebo. The fact that the meta-analysis shows any difference at all suggests that “treatment-resistant depression” might be a meaningful category.

Go look up what the average American or European media consumption is. It's difficult to see it as anything but an obsession. It's just that the obsession relates to things others are producing.

You know, I've long struggled to articulate what it is about LinkedIn that I find so grating, and you just nailed it perfectly, thanks.

A significant percentage of my LinkedIn contacts are friends, ex-classmates, social acquaintances, other people who aren't in my "professional network" but I accepted their connection request because meh, why not? The fakeness is particularly obvious when reading their posts. I'm like "C'mon Dave, I know you don't really give a shit about car insurance, it's just a job. Do you talk this with your colleagues?"

I keep LinkedIn around because it's helped me find jobs in the past, but my experience on the site improved dramatically when I set up a custom uBlock Origin filter to hide the homepage news feed. I've never seen anything on there that remotely felt worth reading, and my most common reaction to other people's LinkedIn posts is to cringe.
