Well, your readboard submission got noticed, just not in a positive way... and promptly flagged, so most people can't even see it. Yay, spam filtering works.

Your other submission I very nearly missed the "example data" field, it looked like a very empty page that wants some unspecified data otherwise.

Put a page that tells people what they are looking at, don't force them to click things and follow steps without knowing what the end result is. Step-by-step onboarding is nice if a user has signed up for something, but you have to show what you offer before that happens. (and most people here will close the page as soon as there is a sign-up prompt, unless you really convinced them)
I'm still a big fan of minimal configuration through sane defaults, but not advocating "zero configuration" in that sense that you have no power to change those defaults.

One area I think we've done really well with this in the past year is the "-dev" flag on Vault, Consul, Nomad. It is a zero-configuration way to get a fully functional dev server up and running in one command though you can still specify a config if you wanted. For non-dev, I just don't want to set dozens of options just to get going, so we'll continue to strive for defaults that work where we can.

All that being said, they are defaults, so you can always change them.
I launched my Kanban for WordPress plugin last fall (https://KanbanWP.com). I've made a few thousand dollars, with almost no marketing. As I'm relatively new, I can't speak to growth. But WordPress powers more than 25% of the top sites on the internet (https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress/all/al...). It also goes way beyond publishing content, now being used as an app framework. So there's a chance that Medium might make a dent, but a small one.

I'm European and recently visited the US, so I'll describe what bugged me about dollars. All bills are the same size and color, making them Very hard to distinguish at a glance. The coins are mostly useless, as the largest commonly used denomination is the quarter. The five cent coins is also ridiculously large (but nothing compared to the British 2p coin...)

In contrast, Euro bills' size increases with value (easy access in the wallet if you keep them in sorted order) and they are easily distinguished by colour. The largest commonly used coin is 2€ ($2.25), which is actually worth something and doesn't jut clog pockets/wallets. I do wish we'd get rid of the 1c and 2c coins, though.
Close enough, wouldn't you say? There are slightly heavier molecules to be found there as well.
I'm curious: did you consider using Flask as a back-end, instead of parse-server? Is parse-server just easier than coding your own API back-end with Flask and whichever db you like?

Wow, there are some pretty hilarious howlers in that article. My favorite is "Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet—which there isn't—the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople." Be careful what you wish for, eh?

He also misses the insight that while the internet as a whole is uncurated (and that's a good thing), nothing stops people from creating curated resources within that framework. For comparison, it took me ~3 seconds to find the date of the Battle of Trafalgar (highlight the text "date of the Battle of Trafalgar" in the article, right-click, 'search on Google', boom direct answer straight from Google itself).

Although if you'd responded to his at-the-time perfectly reasonable objections to internet publishing by informing him that, just over a decade later, we'd invent special beach-portable computers with sunlight-readable screens for the sole purpose of reading electronic books, and people would actually buy them, you'd probably come across as overoptimistic.
Unfortunately, cynicism works. The cynical view is almost always the correct view.
Every small success I've had in my life was won through the power of cynicism.

For any event, if I have two possible explanations to choose from:

a) A simple, pure, altruistic explanation

or

b) A complex, contrived 'evil' explanation

I believe 'b' by default; unless there is sufficient proof to show otherwise. It needs to be reasonable proof, not consensus - Consensus means nothing; just look at all the different religions that exist - We know for sure that at least some of them must be wrong even though they have millions or billions of followers.

I agree 100% though that it's a shame that the media doesn't do more write ups on these kinds of events - Reading the article, I also have the gut feeling that this is the kind of news which will be forgotten tomorrow.

This is terrible when you consider that this article is actually pretty interesting/noteworthy in itself but also because it could lead to a lot of even more interesting articles (which will probably never be published unfortunately).

Even lottery winners get better news coverage than this.

Your question would be easier to answer if you were to share something about your programming background, and your objectives.

Downvote the parent and this if you must, but consider that at several points during the cold war, the scales _almost_ tipped. How bad is the result of a few 1940is bombs on Moscow (absolutely horrific) versus a world-scale nuclear catastrophe? Heck the Soviet union was super evil, what if it hadn't taken 70 years to die, but only 30? Heck the soviet-afghan war killed between 800000 and 1500000 civilian Afghans.

High numbers for the casualties in Nagasaki are 150000, ie ten times fewer.

Sometimes your choices in life are not white and black, but black and black. This is one of the times, Marcoperaza may advocate a viewpoint you strongly disagree with, but that has never been an acceptable reason for downvoting on HN.
The problem is that many characters look similar but have nothing in common. For example, the article mentions the character 食　meaning "food". So when after reading the article you see similar character like 良　you might think it is somehow related to food. Well, it is not, it just means "good". And another similar character 長　meaning "long" or "leader" also has no relation to previous two.

And when you get to more complicated characters like 感 it becomes even more confusing.

That's excellent they meet your needs. It should be mentioned the lack of drivers for Linux is an issue and some of the binary ones available are flaky at best.

A non-sequitur. You, as a private citizen, are not in a position prevent someone else having something by not having it yourself. A company, private or public, whose business is arranging for people to get various stuff has the potential to erode people's rights by not letting them get stuff.

And furthermore, private citizen =/= private company, no matter what Mitt Romney would have people believe.
Windows 10 is supposed to be the last version of Windows. All new features from now on are going to be released in sub-versions of Windows 10, similar to how it is done on OSX.

The first such sub-version release was 1511 (i.e. a build from 2015, November), and this Anniversary Update is version 1607 and happens to be one year after the release of Windows 10, which is why they called it "Anniversary Update".
Agreed.

Those simplifications appear to have been designed purely for reduction of stroke count (that is, making it faster to write by hand), not for simplification in the sense of making it more simple, logical, and consistent.

(As a matter of fact, that "simplification" introduced further inconsistencies, in that certain radicals were written differently when part of a character, while the traditional writing maintained it.
Example: 金 gold is the left part of money, which you can see in the traditional 錢, but not in the simplified 钱. Similarly 言 in traditional 說 vs simplified 说.)
I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I've been doing something similar for the past 1 month :/ I can't stop, help!!
This is not possible today. It is very easy as a government (often something bitcoin people rant about) to bulk transfer wealth from the population to a preferred group, since you have control of the mint. Which is why the mint (reserve bank) is, in all functional countries, a standalone entity with independent decision making power about currency creation.

The idea that digitally tampering with bank accounts would not be noticed or reacted to, but softer measures like inflation rate meddling, or stealth measures like doing a currency re-issuance and controlling how hard it is for people to exchange old money, is absurd.

Not to mention you've managed to ignore the fact that only a tiny fraction of circulating cash is physical cash anyway.

In terms of protecting rights, this is one of the worst, least effective ways to do so.
Keep in mind that win10 is meant to be the last windows version. So that means that they're going to need to get good smaller, higher-frequency updates.

Getting upvotes from sheeple isn't a good proxy for economically valuable skills IMO.

The fact you spend so long adding free content to a network owned by a company is indicative of poor resource management. Something that self-made millionaires excel at (from my experience).
I'm glad to say I just took two days off work. I did this, with my own flourishes.
I always get anxiety when I read about these tools. In Windows, the kernel drops file update notifications all the time. There is a fixed sized buffer for them and overflows do happen.

I've not read the Linux code for them, but I think the implementation is probably similar.

This is not something I'd like to rely on.
I guess Rust may seem more complex, if you know C++ well, but from the side it may not seem like it.

For example, C++ Core Guidelines [0] is longer than Rust Book. Core Guidelines is itself a great example of things one needs to keep in the head while writing C++ code.

Look at implementation of something as basic as optional<T> [1]. The amount of things one needs to know is so high most C++ developers would never attempt it.

If HN wanted to do the color thing to indicate depth I would also be ok with it, but the collapse feature is one of the nicest things HN has introduced in years and saves me tons of scrolling.
No. That would effectively mean reimplementing all the logic of parse-server in flask. And when I was done doing that, I wouldn't have a client library in every language ready to interact with my backend.

Parse-server is definitely a faster way to start because it's already an API layer in front of the database.

0. The Moon is not "seismically dead."

1. The Moon has not cooled and solidified.

2. We do not have existing technology to create massive underground Moon factories. It would be unbelievably difficult, even on Earth, to drill 500 miles into basalt, let alone doing so in mostly vacuum. This is not an unsolvable problem, mind you, but probably more difficult than you are thinking and definitely more difficult than burying some prefabricated modules beneath a few meters of lunar regolith.

3. There are about 7.3 billion humans alive right now. We have no (current) need to put hundreds of billions of humans anywhere. And the Moon could not support such a population even under the absolute best colonization schemes unless we genetically engineer humans to be smaller and use fewer resources. Again, not impossible, but not possible with current technology and may not be morally correct even if it was possible.

4. Why would we need weapons systems on the Moon? We currently have treaties against militarizing outer space. You're not seriously proposing that as a defense against alien invasion are you? If extraterrestrial life exists and possesses the technology to cross interstellar space and is belligerent, something tells me they would not have any problems defeating us even if we did bury ourselves under the Moon.

Again, the Moon is simply not very interesting beyond a trial run for more complex colonization schemes for a place like Mars. If we do find some reason to colonize the Moon, we could do so fairly easily - probably within 10-25 years. IMHO, the biggest problem we would face is just getting stuff there to support people.

I am very sympathetic to the insurance argument, but for different reasons. An asteroid/comet collision is much more likely to trigger the need for that than any alien invasion. But even then, depending on the size of the impact object, being on the Moon may not do us much good if the impact kicks up enough debris.

But what you are proposing is pretty far beyond what we are currently capable of. Not impossible but certainly not easy or likely within the next century.

How the brands of giants, evolved
This article fails to touch on who issues the money. In particular in the example of the Rai stones it fails to ask what if the ledger keeper could magic up stones all over the island to capture labour by eroding the value of the current stones.

Really for me this is one turtle down the stack and he needs to ask who creates credits and what that means.

edit: and right on queue in my twitter feed an article on money creation as theft:

This is great from the perspective of contributing intellectual property back to the ecosystem. They are trying to balance the revenue aspect with growing an open community which benefits the product as a whole.

My one concern is that the thrifty users will ride the expiration line, installing versions that don't cost money but which are outdated. I can see where that would be an acceptable tradeoff in many situations where the latest-and-greatest is not required. But from a security aspect I wonder if that also means that vulnerability fixes would only be available to the paying users. They are definitely worth paying for, no doubt; but would that then foster an ecosystem of not-really-patched installations out there?

(Then again, that might not be that different from the current situation.)

No, 100% not being judgemental, just offering the kind of help/advice that I like to receive myself if someone sees me going down a wrong path.

I spent spent several minutes reading his past comments and his bio. The patterns of adopting victim status and of reacting to individual comments/downvotes by tarring the entire HN community with the same brush are plainly evident.

As I said, there's a good chance I would have been supportive of his position, had I had a chance to read it. Even if I disagree with the substance, I'll happily defend/support someone expressing a contrarian view if they're gracious and well-intentioned in their conduct, and I know I'm far from being alone in that regard.

The good news is that 20yrs_no_equity seems to be back in strong form making good comments and getting a decent load of new karma in just the past 24 hours, so all seems well.
I gave Rust several trials in the last year, but I somehow ended up thinking that it's [maybe too much] hyped. Rust managed to get quite a bit of traction.

I've been programming in Haskell and Python in the last years, but I've done more of a decade with C++ only and lately begun some MCU work where I had to use C++ almost exclusively again. I don't have a strict preference anymore, although I edge in Python for new projects as it strikes a good balance.

I'm quite familiar with runtime type checking (hs), and hey, I've actually wrote a couple of programs in ATS (whose syntax is absolutely horrid, and second only to the compiler warnings), because ATS essentially translates to C without an extra compiler, allowing you to use it for any MCU supported by your toolchain.

I came out thinking that doing seemingly simple stuff in Rust, such a mutable linked list, is too complicated for what you get. Let's be honest here, writing a safe linked list in C++ (even more so with C++14) is _trivial_, despite C++ being anything but simple to understand as a whole.

This is aggravating if you think that in systems programming, mutable state is almost central to performance (caches and locality). Most of the efficient structures you end up writing are ad-hoc, mutable and with manual memory layout. Complicated code is a double edged sword: if I need to write complicated code to get compile-time insurance, it means that it's a trade-off to just jumping into unsafe territory where the payoff is small.

I somehow like the syntax of rust, but it's quite verbose. Almost too much in places. And I compare this to C++, which is not too skinny either. But C++ got much better lately. I also really don't like how rust inherited the JS style of wrapping closures directly as arguments of functions (think unwrap). It really reads horribly. I'd have vouched for dedicated syntax for such a common idiom. C-like languages (and C++ included) do not read as nicely as homoiconic languages in these cases.

If writing simpler code leads to less bugs, then Nim is actually a much better language. I wish it had more mindshare, as the core and language itself is far from being polished and regular as rust currently is. The current premise of compile-time safety of rust is good, but not a dealbreaker if you use a modern C++ compiler IMHO. It's pretty easy to wrap unsafe behavior in a class. It's actually easier than wrapping unsafe code in rust.

Google found me this [1].

"On 29 December 1934, Albert Einstein was quoted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as saying, “There is not the slightest indication that [nuclear energy] will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.” This followed the discovery that year by Enrico Fermi that if you bombard uranium with neutrons, the uranium atoms split up into lighter elements, releasing energy."

This would be before the 1939 letter.
