Somebody has given you a gift, their time and talent, and your response was 'give me more'. They replied with 'I've given you all of my time that I want to', and now you are looking for ways to argue that point with them, which at best will take more of their time. No. Remember your manners and thank them for the gift. You asked, they answered, the most important thing at this point is to respect the author's time by not arguing with them about how they choose to spend their time.

I can readily see the concept of "I wrote this code, somebody else might find it useful, so I'll make it available, but I don't want to bother with doing anything else with it." If an author wants to write my feature, cool, but I just don't see any problem in 'submit a patch' answers. To me it's a the distilled essence of "I already spent all the time I want to on this thing, I gave you a gift, I don't owe you anything, if you value this feature you're welcome to do it but I don't value this feature and am not interested in working for free." - but it saves all the arguments that would come up if you actually gave that answer, as people with time on their hands would take every point and try to pick it apart and take up more time arguing. By explaining reasons, you're just handing out ammo to fire back at you. Saying no without leaving the no open to argument is the only way to limit demands on time.
OK, I'm seeing this explanation being brought up, and it makes sense. Thank you. I wish the original poster had actually stated it this way.
Yet there is a waiting list...
Why would you not
Why do you prefer the liquid form?
From my perspective, everything went right here. The software screwed up, it alerted the passengers that a collision was going to happen, and a human driver quickly took over and avoided the accident. Is this not what we should expect from a beta?

The responsibility is still on the driver even with driver assist / full self driving technology turned on. All this talk of regulating the software when we just saw a worst case scenario resolve with a favorable outcome.

"But what if the driver wasn't paying attention?" Then the driver will face the consequences as if he had been driving the car himself, because it's his car and it's his responsibility.
Not just the GUI, the collision avoidance assist alarm was going off.
I'd be more interested in his views on the newer modal editors with a fresh take, like Kakoune/helix.
Fair point, I haven't actually looked at CURRENT, it's an assumption from the "goes live" part of the article :)
Perhaps sleeping under a tree is the "not putting on your seatbelt" of the jungle.
Given that people have tried stuffing hundreds of TB of data in every cloud service ever that offered "unlimited" storage, I would not be surprised if someone actually did that.
I think it is more than that. On Feb 4 (cst) I count 14796 submissions. (Comments and stories). So it is more like 10 per minute.

Like a written contract or this University just assumed there was unlimited Google storage?
Exactly, the post is a Scott Alexander post so he'd never object to the concept of priors. There's nothing wrong with having a strong prior that the volcano's not going to blow up this year, that it's just the wind not a break-in, or that it's most likely an ear infection with a tumour so unlikely as to not be worth the radiation risk and cost of a CT.

Really, the article is about people who don't bother to monitor the likelihood that updates their prior because the prior is so damn explanatory anyway. But, a doctor treating an ear infection isn't doing this because the act of treatment is also a test. It's not the 'did the volcano erupt' or 'did we get burgled' test with huge downsides because even if there's a serious underlying issue a week or two is unlikely to change too much. If the purported infection doesn't clear up then it's time for the doctor to update their prior and reconsider what investigations or treatment options are now appropriate. Even better than taking your history to your next doctor, keep seeing the same doctor.
Yes you're right. They probably couldn't do those games even if they wanted.

You're probably right. If I understand correctly, they recently passed laws that make it easier to test self-driving vehicles in Holland, and one of the first experiments will be 'convoys' of self-driving trucks.
Also in Haskell: https://github.com/haskoin/haskoin
I think they're very useful, if your a guy like Musk, who needs to move billions of USD, anonymously. You can't carry gold around, nor diamonds anymore with full body scanners. BTC is the only way to move massive wealth, ergo why NK is using it to buy WMD material's & know-how.

USD is backed by guns ( nukes ), what is BTC back's by? Large numbers, 10E77 (2E256), greater than the number of sub-atomic particles in the universe. You more likely to find a nickle lost in our galaxy, than to find a specific BTC private-key.

The problem with the question here, is nobody thinks like a rich guy, let's fall back to JP-Morgans famous "Only gold is money, all else is credit". I hate to admit it but BTC in most recent decade has largely vacuumed up all the paranoid money that would normally be in gold.

I don't even want to touch on the fact that SHA256 & ECDSA SECP256k1 are both NSA algos that are backbone of BTC. In my day the NSA didn't release an algo that they didnt' have a backdoor key.

IMHO BTC is a great way to move massive wealth, but only the rich can play this game. From a GUV point of view BTC has kept the paranoid money out of gold, let's remember the original Satoshi white-paper came out of IMF-NSA, in 1997.

I myself have played BTC since 2011, and have hacked it since then, as its always been more fun to hack Secp256k1 ( big prime numbers and such ) than thinking about 'money' of which I have no use.

The problem that I see is like Alfred H Proofrock in the famous TS-ELIOT 'women come&go speaking of Michelangelo', IMHO BTC requires a total classic knowledge of math, physics, computation, and economic history to 'get-it', and thus given that most are not masters of these four, they're not unlike the wisemen holding different parts of the elephant.

In summary BTC is a toy of rich men, and it will go away when the NSA-IMF decides open the backdoors of sha-256&secp256k1. Even then newer coins will come out using sha-512, and secp512k-n, and the game will continue, as the crypto-currency model has been proven, and road-tested.

My advice for little people is to diversify, say have a little of everything, some gold, some farm-land, some stock, some cash, and most important of all to hold a passport is 'good country' when the SHTF in the USA. Today, I think it much better to play ETH and/or ZEN, which have had better gains, and still are profitable to mine, which allows you to accumulate with privacy, as the coinbase (or any 'exchange') purhcase of crypto is just an IRS database. I would say like gold, 5% crypto, and as along as its a good crypto, it doesn't really matter. By good I mean backed by good-teams, which is why I like ETH and/or ZEN;

BTC is a barometer that's why my #1 hobby is cracking BTC ( factoring ECDSA primes using GPU farms ) its field-medal level math, that you will never get public recognition for solving.
Cheap root server providers, mostly in Germany if nothing mentioned otherwise, all with own infrastructure (no resellers) and my personal experience. Note that prices mentioned in Germany are almost all the time incl. VAT, so you might be able so save 19% on those prices.

Because they are targeting people who know nothing and are scared, common tactic for fraudsters, cults, etc.

Of course real solutions exist but the lay person can't easily discern.

> Let a unsupervised kid climb 50 feet

no one suggested this happened except you though. It's clear the kid was supervised by the climbing instructor. Clearly top-roping with either auto- or human belay because that's the only kind of situation where you'd have a kid on a 50-foot wall. Kid could get injured sure, but it would be a tooth getting knocked out by slamming into the wall from a bad belay catch, not falling 50 feet to the ground.

Anyone can edit a page… but not all edits have to be accepted. The problem, as it usually is with anything open on the internet, is that a malicious user can do ridiculously more damage with less effort and time than a benevolent user can prevent or supersede. The scales are lopsided.

So it inevitably becomes that the onus falls on filtering out the crap before it hits (rather than cleaning it up afterwards)… and thus inevitably more policy, bureaucracy and requirements placed up front.

And while anyone can choose to meet these requirements, it becomes cost-prohibitive to learn and adhere for a drive-by editor, whereas it gets amortized out for long-term users. Thus it becomes open to all, yet open to few.
> The await literally blocks the current thread

I thought "async io" was supposed to be superior to "blocking the thread". The unit of computation is "smaller" than an os thread, right? It's cooperative multitasking, where thread-per-task is not cooperative. Maybe you were using "thread" symbolically?
What does "over the hill" mean? That there's a snowball in cognitive decline after 40?
1) that's a far less likely scenario
2) you shouldn't be running programs out of publicly writeable directories on hostile multiuser systems anyway.

3) (not directly related to your post) explicitly using ./ allows for more accurate completions, almost always making up for the two extra characters typed (particularly since ./ is so easy to type with a single motion).
I'm on the border between gen z / millennial. In our space (tech) this does seem like a completely ridiculous claim. But out in the real world I have witnessed this, and if this article were completely accurate it would not surprise me.

Is it accurate? I'm not sure, I have witnessed people in "gen z" do this sort of thing, but how widespread it is I can't say.
I still don't understand why tax returns aren't primarily automatic. Every year, I have these forms that I collect that were all generated automatically, and most of them are sent to the IRS anyway (or the data they contain). So why can't I login to some IRS website, choose how I want to file, report anything extra, and then hit submit?
Hello,

Recently, I received spam to my Gmail account, and it annoyed me. They got my email address by whatever means, that doesn't mean they can send me spam or marketing emails.
So, I took some time to build a whitelist-only email service: myapp.email

When someone sends me an email for the first time, it'll go to the Pending folder waiting for my approval. If I don't do anything (it's spam or marketing email, couldn't care less), they'll automatically be blocked after some days and can't send me any more emails. It'll be completely spam-free.

It solves a similar problem with disposable email addresses (DEA), but better: only one email address for registration on several websites, apps, and mailing lists. Since it's just one email address, there's no need to add browser extensions or any tools. It would help in case of resetting passwords or receiving further account notifications. Many website/app owners also dislike disposable email addresses and will block them as soon as possible.

On the other hand, my username (arp242) is already "squatted" by an account that never tweeted or had any other apparently activity. I don't use Twitter much, but people have erroneously "mentioned" this account on a few occasions.
Is anybody on HN starting new projects with bootstrap anymore? I mostly hear about Bulma and Tailwind.
> arbitrary corporate decisions

There was a HN thread about an open source Twitter implemented in Haskell with the full stack in one page (it's called something specific) and that made me think that maybe decentrialisation is really just having decentrialised habits.

If you can figure out storage, the rest is all just done on the client side. It would kind of be like a exodus back to 1997, when everyone just slapped together some HTML and had a web page (I think; back then I was playing SC2 and didn't know what HTML was).

I thought of this example yesterday: Often people lament something like "the master craftsmen are all old, what would happen in the next generation". But I think the next generation is busy inventing the craft independently. Much like leathercraft or book binding on Reddit. I do think people can get lazy because of YouTwitFace. But I do think that a lazy person can become very efficient and prolific precisely because of revolt against their self-imposed boredom.

It does not require a lot of people (e.g.: archive.org) to make a rather large difference. GNU/Linux and the rest are examples of that 90% viewers/lurkers, 9% interaction, 1% creators. I don't know if I am misquoting that, but maybe people should be active in choosing what they preserve. That is, you are your own 100%; there is no 90-9-1 with regards to your legacy. You have to store it yourself.
Last weekend, I heard, on an NPR "Weekend Update" news blurb, a newsreader refer to the "Tiananmen crackdown", and "clashes between police and demonstrators", in the same sentence.

A crackdown is when police start arresting people for things they hadn't been. Mowing people down in the street with machine guns, wholesale, is called a "massacre".

A clash is when two armed parties battle. When police beat unarmed people with clubs, and blast them with firearms, that isn't a clash, it is an attack. "Clash" blames the demonstrators for being attacked.

Tiktok has no choice. NPR has a choice, and abandons it.
I remember buying, for $500, an HP Deskjet 500C, that printed at 300dpi, and you had to swap the black cartridge for the color cartridge (CMY, no K), depending on what you wanted to print.

Just left Google after ~4 years, and couldn't be happier (always been more comfortable independent though). I liked everyone I worked with, but the work was incremental at best, and most often about perf optics. You'll probably be surprised how hard people work outside those companies, and how good they are (even if you already knew -- it's easy to forget in there).

I'd say if you don't have something you really want to do, just take time off and code for fun until you figure it out. I wouldn't just go work somewhere else, esp somewhere that is impressed with such a resume, it would probably be worse.

Mainly, you need to figure out how much of your soul is left, and if the rest can heal or be repurposed. Because of your financial security, finding a personal mission you care about will be essential. You could make a difference. And you should.
Half of your posts are in broken English, and your broken English isn't consistent with any language I'm aware of popular in Western Europe.

There are tons of successful hacker driven companies. There's only one Apple. It is interesting how author still uses a sole outlier as a counterpoint. I guess love is blind :)

While it has one meaning for hacker news, at my company a 'hacker' is someone who hacks around a problem. They do absolutely no design before hand and bash away at something until it "works".
I have always been looking for an article that explains exactly this. Most expanations of networking are extremely vague and lack concrete examples, but not this one! I have thought about deterministic lockstep for a long time and this article finally sheds new light on some questions that have been lingering in my head for years. Thank you for that.
Not all risks are equivelent. There is a reason planned outages are scheduled for ~2AM local time not ~2PM local time. Plenty of companies have dealt with 2h windows where if the site is down they fail. Some have even been down during that time period and ended up laying off everyone.
Great first attempt! Kudos!

I feel you should blog your experience on developing this game. I'm sure it'll be an interesting read and an inspiration for many of us who wish to get involved in game development.

Unfriendly AI is one of such existential problems. Maybe further out in the future that the ones you mentioned, but with side effect of possibly taking the whole universe down with us if we get it wrong. And there will be people trying to pursue strong AI for various reasons, including help in fixing all the previous threats you mentioned.
Not really any interesting info, seems like an issue with how they provision nodes on their cloud provider (AWS?). I guess you can email them for the full postmortem, although I would've preferred they just posted it.
Musk attributes it to Churchill though I don't think anybody has found any evidence that the prime minister ever said it. The earliest evidence anybody can find of the phrase came from the 90s.
I thought that too, buut then I thought about Japan --and there they get paid near minimum wage (comparable to US minimum wage) but also have no tipping policy (or rather culture) and yet service tends to be great. So I think culture has a significant impact --and I wonder where US staff might fall; towards European apathy or Japanese pride in vocation.
The questions and answers are presented in the order that they were answered, which I believe gives the best flow to the "interview".
The downvotes here have grown way out of control. Simple disagreement with the majority opinion results in massive downvoting.

I've even seen numerous posts that contain nothing but factual information that displeases the audience here be voted down into the gray. The post can be in the flattest, most neutral tone possible, and if it's not what people want to hear, down it goes.

It's discouraging, and it's to a point where I no longer feel a desire to participate in this community. Frankly, I'm finding a number of subreddits to be more inviting and more interesting these days.

I don't really see what can be done about it, if you even agree it's an issue, but I did want to make a point of letting you know about a problem I've seen grow worse over recent months.
monopoly sucks.
I don't think this is a very good article in general and especially not for HN where Docker has been covered in detail already. (The history of the LXC vs. libcontainer split is pretty far inside baseball and not even that interesting IMO.)

Speaking of Docker, I did find some interesting repos today: https://github.com/socketplane/socketplane and https://github.com/ibuildthecloud/only-docker
Honestly, there was a TON of research on this topic. I'll try and dig out the paper that was the foundation of my dissertation. Till then I can tell you what I did to get my own reading. I simply googled for stylometry research papers and then like a wikipedia article I searched for each paper referenced by that paper. Stylometry is just a very vast topic so I might be able to help further if you could say what kind of way you want to apply stylometry. Plagiarism? Long form document authorship verification? Email verification? Writing assistance?
One thing that is true that makes no sense is that tips are designed to be based on the dollar amount of the bill. Why should a 45 minute service of a $100 meal mandate a larger tip than the same 45 minute service of a $50 meal? The staff has put in the same amount of time and effort to serve both meals... yet the more expensive meal expects a larger tip. This aspect makes no sense whatsoever. A tip should be based on the number of clients served at a table + the time spent in the restaurant + perhaps additional money for special requests or complex meals.

If anything, you'd think the cheaper meal should have a larger tip since you're occupying a spot for a cheap meal when they could have had a client sit down and spend 3x as much as you. It's all backwards, the fact that the tip is based on the dollar amount of the meal...
