Ask HN: [HELP] How to get my blogs unbanned from HN
Hello there,
Looks like articles from my blogs http://javarevisited.blogspot.com and http://java67.com are going into SPAM filter or may be my blogs are banned.

Nobody can see articles from my blog on HN, except me.
I submit posts from my blog once a week or after 10 other posts which I thought interesting.
I also submit only best content form my blog and never tried to SPAM HackerNews.

I know it's impossible to SPAM HN, so I won't go there and I know it becuase I have been HN member from close to 7 years now.

I thought submitting your own content is Ok, unless you are not overdoing it e.g. once a week or after 10 other articles, but looks like that's not true.

If possible, Moderators, Please help to unban my blogs.

Thanks
Javin
Yeah though Im part of some slacks with 1200+ channels.

That would not be fun in Discord-land.
Love retail and selling things. When you work in a fast food retail store like radio shack in the 80/90s customers tell you what they want its great.
Ask HN: What was the most effective dev team that you’ve been a part of?
Think back to your most effective dev team. What are Some key things that contributed to your success? What was your role? Your processes? The team size? What kind of non developers were a part of your team?

We (https://forestry.io) have been reflecting on this a lot lately and would love to hear from others.
Not yet, hoping for a big push oss push next quarter. You want to use it for your ci/cd platform?

> I haven't found it particularly wortwhile to distinguish people who are saying terrible things to troll, or because they believe them. They're very often the same group, because reasonable, emphatic people are going to neither say nor believe those terrible things.

> If you cannot carry a conversation with consideration for the other people in it, I do not want you in my community.

Okay, you can want whatever you want, and I understand why you want that. I also have the gut reaction to someone saying something bigoted where I to avoid the person so I don't have to see it, or respond with vitriol and ostracization, because that's what feels good in the moment. But if people continue to insist on putting their head in the sand and take actions that feel good rather than actions that actually address the problem, these problems are only going to get worse.

> I perceive Reddit as a very good example of the kind of community I _don't_ want, because any deep, complex, or otherwise not aligned with the popular discussion is impossible there, so I'm afraid we're at an impasse.

I have had fairly in-depth conversations and said plenty of unpopular stuff on Reddit all the time, so I'm not sure what you're basing this.

> Luckily, I haven't proposed an alternative, so it's rather interesting what imagined alternative you're making that statement about...

You said, "If your community is ignoring trolls instead of banning them, it's effectively sending the message that the trolls are very welcome."

Others have mentioned iTunes Match, but they haven't mentioned that Apple Music itself includes iTunes Match. So this claim is very much incorrect.

Walmart operates in a lot of areas where the jobs are all dead end, low paying, or treat workers poorly. They do a lot of that themselves. It's why they have high turnover and theft among employees. They still have high turnover and theft after upping their wages. I rarely see the same person twice at the local one. In such environments, the people who are used to pulling for each other with favors will certainly do things at the companies' expense for friends or in trade for anothers' items.

They figure they'll be at another crap job in near future or just won't get prosecuted, that Walmart is a racket not giving them anything for their work, that they're corporate evil that deserve no sympathy, and so on so forth. So, why not get something in return or hook their friends up while they're there?" they'll ask. That's how some explained it to me that were fired for stealing or doing stuff for friends at various retail places. They're so good at risk assessment they tell people like me they barely know about what they do. It's unreal lol.

Note: I ran into this stuff mostly in low-income areas both city and rural. Gets worse if the management treats workers worse.
Just a random thought from your comment, but it feels like stuff like this is one reason quality physical books will not be going away. I mean, I doubt they're making print editions from all this crap...?
Congratulations, Amasad, really nice work. I was glad to see the inclusion of Web Frameworks, and tried to set up a Classroom for Rails instruction but have a basic question: how are students able to execute rails commands in the IDE? How do you switch between the REPL and console? Thanks!

I'm curious. What makes contribution to this docs so special that adding it to the resume has been mentioned a few times in this thread?
I mean, is it not just another repo you have contributed to in your github profile?
Oh. Sure, I buy that. I don't believe patchable vulnerabilities really exert major pressure on stock prices.

This seems to use measurement and average interchangeably? a measurement is an instantaneous "average"?

if you figure out a decayed moving average as an "average"... why not just use that smoothed value directly? what do you even need variance for?

Anyone have the text of the article lots of us can't actually read?
all right. thank you for sharing the resources and information.

I am not invested in this topic, although I should be. In fact, some of the information you shared is valuable to my personal life.

I have a problem with oversimplification of hard problems, then claiming that they are currently understood. Then proceeding to build more extravagant and potentially dangerous solutions on the said platform.

The point you are debating - that of the influence of salts/neurotransmitters/more on brain chemistry, and hence on one’s mental state, can be so profound as to create a world where one experiences a vastly different emotional response to everyday events than what most others anticipate - is understood.

I contested that this is not enough to encourage experimentation with consciousness itself.

edit: the impact of chemistry can render itself in ways where the idea of one’s personality becomes fluid. chemistry can control my reaction to simple things, and render my ability to live my life debilitated. I understand that chemistry can shake at the very sense of having control over my self. I also understand that the external world barely acknowledges the role of chemistry in this, and likes to blame it wholly on the individual.
My favorite fast food place lately is "Salad And Go", not sure how many there are, they're here in Phoenix. Usually from order completion to transaction complete is under 60 seconds. Rarely is there a car between the order box and the window. The hard thing is they have gotten very popular at lunch and the drive-through line is out to the street.

McD's usually gets my orders wrong, not that they're even particularly hard. It's been really hit and miss... I wonder what the satisfaction/turnover at places with smaller menus is... In-n-out, 5-guys, etc.
The article says Spotify has "nearly twice" the number of subscribers, so maybe that's why? (no snark intended, these numbers are new to me)

I feel like maybe these days such anticompetitive practices are just felt more strongly by consumers because subscription-based walled gardens (often involving locked hardware) are being pushed in seemingly every market where it even vaguely makes sense, from food and drink to professional software.

> That logic could also apply to fidget spinners.

Or stamps. Or shoelaces. Or umbrellas. Or wallets. Or lipstick.

All useful things to millions of people.

One fundamental difference with fidget spinners: they have already peaked and faded in popularity, Alexa continues to grow year by year. That's the true difference between something tens of millions of people (soon to be hundreds of millions of people) find useful, and something people temporarily find amusing.

>It's what the majority of the world believes

This has never been a good proxy for truth. It is also completely irrelevant given that the majority of the world has never studied neuroscience.

Not true. Neuroscience has discovered a lot about consciousness. I recommend Principles of Neural Science if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Neural-Science-Fifth-Kande...

"Licensed under the "Lightly-Modified Apache License", a variant of the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License."

So... the additional term is understandable, and sane. You don't want bad forks to break your server. Though it could've been largely left out of this: You could've simply stated that forks are not authorized to use the central server as terms of the server itself, and left the code under an approved open source license.

But the weird bit here is that the license file can only be used in accordance with obeying this software's license... does that mean that the "Lightly-Modified" Apache license is not, in itself, open source? Like, is this meant to read as "Nobody else may release their own software under this license"?

Having recently purchased ~400 dental surgical instruments from some dude in Pakistan for less than $2000 including shipping, and received them in less than a month even though they were manufactured after I ordered them, I can imagine no possible purpose of 3D printing surgical instruments. They are stainless steel and will last approximately forever.
> It's that the rights of citizens to defend themselves against a tyrannical government _should one arise_ is important enough to be included in our Bill of Rights

The model of protection from tyranny embodied by the second amendment was one in which the protection wasn't from the mere right to keep and bear arms, but from the dependence of the state on the militia created by the citizenry being so armed for its basic security and defense functions. The professionalization of armed law enforcement and military forces (to the point where even significant international armed conflicts and domestic security crises are addressed by the state without conscription or summoning citizen posses, relying on professional—even if not always permanently active—volunteer forces alone) has destroyed that model entirely.
Hi Avinium,

I’ve found slices of the US military to be incredibly innovative, forward thinking, and willing to take lots of small calculated risks.

The USMC maker efforts are one bottom up effort, and I’m aware of a fantastic Air Force effort that has excellent support as well.

Australia’s effort is more recent, I’m helping them to develop in-house innovation training as well as helping to shape an in-house innovation ecosystem/pipeline.

I think a big part of successful implementation is culture change.

On operations, we are expected to take calculated risks that include failing at times, in order to learn and iterate.

The biggest issue is that in a homefront “camp” environment, everyone becomes risk averse due to frequent posting cycles(officers usually change roles every 2-3 years).

Short posting cycles contradict the need for much longer term innovation pipeline outputs.

I hope that helps?
The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, by Mark Twain
Nobody has much trouble with these sorts of returns. Its stores that have more liberal policies like letting you return without a receipt that in turn must use something like TRE to flag fraud, theft, and abuse.

Of course if you only allowed returns strictly with proper receipts all your challenges shockingly disapear except the all the people that are pissed off because their return is denied instead of only the minority now.
I think you're a bit optimistic when you use the word "obvious". Some people still look at me as if I'm wearing a tinfoil hat whenever I bring up NSA surveillance.

Bug reports are a little different than the product itself. I guess my take is that yes, if you needed it fixed because you are using it, then it makes sense.

But in the case of documentation, by the time I figured things out and see that the documentation is wrong, I no longer need the docs and I know what to do.

Would the appropriate way to show reverence for the animal be not slaughtering it?

Adding hollow lip service doesn't really seem like an improvement.
Well, no one is saying this is definitely a gain for every person. As an example, I refused to use a smartphone until 2012, and even after that, I refused to use cell phones for non-emergency calls until, well, even now. I still have a conventional phone at home, and unless I'm coordinating something, I don't answer my cell phone and simply call people back when I get home.

But on the flip side, it's a poor assumption that if someone is not turning off the lights manually, that the primary goal is comfort or ease. I used to think manually doing all chores was a virtue in itself - I had a dishwasher in my apartment for years before I started using it. I no longer think that way. Now for me, if I can eliminate mundane stuff like dishes, lights, etc - it is because I want to spend the time on more quality stuff.

As an example, too many older people say they wish they had just paid the money to repair stuff in the house, rather than spending the time to repair it themselves. They took pride in their work, on top of also saving money. But later in life, they wished they had used that time better.

"I am Not Your Negro" is a fantastic documentary about Baldwin.

In that documentary, filmed in 1960's, the same questions were asked that are often asked today. William Buckley asks Baldwin, "Why are negros so upset ? You are on TV commercials, movie leads, you hold positions in government. Isn't racism in the past."

That was before I was born. But in my lifetime the Tuskegee medical experiments were still being performed on black men. I witnessed a landlord ask my parents to pretend they were taking an apartment so that the blacks in the waiting area could be told it is no longer available. I had a young detective in Chicago privately disclose to me that as a cop he would just followed black people (if there were more than one in the car because the odds one of them might have a warrant would be higher) in his cop car until they committed a traffic violation. He used racial profiling so effectively that he became one of youngest detectives of all time.

In my college years the US government was selling highly addictive and destructive drugs in African American neighborhoods as a covert way to raise funds. But when that story broke it was pushed off the headlines because the Monica Lewinsky scandal was more important. The reporter who broke the story was so disheartened he killed himself.

And in just the past years we have seen too many snuff films and needless deaths.

Yet I still personally encounter people who claim African Americans haven't experienced racism in 100 years. And what are they complaining about, "they seem to be in most commercials these days and hold high positions in government, so racism must be in the past". Because why bother learning what the Black Lives Matter movement stood for when you can just snark "all lives matter". But if you were snark "Pro-life ? You mean you are a vegetarian ?", some of those same people would be so annoyed they would burn down an abortion clinic. But black people burning something, that anger they can't understand.

Will the U.S. ever come to terms with our racist past ? Will our future grandchildren be ruminating on these issues simply because many people keep casually dismissing the suffering of others.

As a side note, I am conflicted if general interest stories like this should be on HN as they are too emotionally charged.
We did that a time or two, jumped out of the same aircraft that later picked us up. Battalion sized operation because that's the smallest jumps we would do.

We didn't have to build a runway or anything like that, they just landed the C-130s on the dirt runway we "tookdown".

--edit--

Now that I think about it that's when we were doing a lot of training on taking down small runways for the War on Drugs -- between the Panama Invasion and Gulf War I. The mission was to jump in, cause a world of hurt to the cartel and then get picked up and fly home.

Have you considered adding an advanced run option that doesn't obliterate the code in the REPL?

In particular, it would be great update a function or class select it and press a button to run the updated version in the REPL so that you wouldn't have to copy and paste it there manually.
> What they're not going to have is data on the people who choose not to shop at these stores because of this policy,

Why won't they have that data? They will certainly know if sales have gone down, and they can try it out in different areas to remove other factors.

With an open source project, I can fork and use the code for myself and contribute back to the project.

>Simplejson at the top, a library I’ve never used which seems to be obviated by the presence of json in the standard library

json and simplejson are the same modules. It's just that json is based on an older version of simplejson, since the latter is not tied to the Python release cycles, and updates faster.

Simplejson also works with older pythons that didn't have json built-in (2.4 etc).

People using it is not about needing a JSON because there isn't one in the standard library, it's because it was faster than it. 2 times faster loading, and somewhat faster dumping (depending on json and simplejson version).

I'm somewhat uncomfortable with brain fixation because there is no way to actually verify that it works. Mind uploading is very far off if we still can't upload C. Elegans. It is more plausible that we would be able to test biological revival within the next couple decades. Going from atoms to bits is much harder than going from atoms to atoms.
Of course. My point is that you can't just look at the number $125/mo and make a decision. You need to also ask how often they are successfully used. Your airbag definitely wouldn't be worth it if they were used 1/100th as often (and probably not even if it were 1/10th).

At the risk of being downvoted into oblivion for going off on a tangent... since you mentioned the iPhone settings menu:

Why is it that in some places there is a setting with a off/on toggle on the right, and in other places there is a setting that takes you to a sub-page with only a off/on toggle? For a current example, the Handoff menu under General.

While I agree they generally do a better than average job with UI, I've never really understood why the settings app has this inconsistency. It's been this way for many versions.

Rant over. Though not really a rant anyway, it doesn't make me mad, just puzzled.
