The problem with this approach is it feels like there are teams of smart people at Google with all of these "outs" in a shared doc and a timeline to slowly close them off one by one. There's no way to "win" in the longrun against that.
The way I spend time and the quality of information I consume shapes my thinking and I owe it to HN.

Since HN is crowdsourced, it is my trusted go-to source for authentic and newsworthy news. Secondly, I always search my queries on HN before Google. I believe SEOs are over-rated when it comes to searching for your needs.
I always chuckle when I see people trying to use Markdown in HN.

Here [1] is the list of "features" HN supports in the comment section.

I "authentically" made the front page yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18129378. I also got on the front page a few months ago with something else: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17558752.

Neither of these articles were written by me. But had I written them and submitted them, they would have made the front page just as they did when someone else wrote them and I submitted them.

I think there's definitely an element of chance involved based on the day and time of your submission. There's also a zeitgeist of rotating topics based on current events and things people care about in tech. You should also consider that you find interesting and substantive is somewhat subjective - whatever the merits of your content, others may prefer other content on the same topic for a variety of reasons.

Good, interesting content absolutely reaches the front page organically. My cursory observation is that it's easier to hit the front page with an actual, working project (Show HN) or with written content about an interesting technical topic that is broadly thought provoking but not particularly well-known. In this case, web performance is probably a comparatively difficult topic to get on the front page of HN.
How much more do you think it's worth now? 2x? 10x? All this media attention is definitely having a huge impact.
> And on an extra level, I have started to wonder how such a piece could be represented through programming. The website that rots, pixel by pixel, when it isn't viewed; or the application that subtly corrupts itself over time.

I suppose that's also already true today. Unmaintained software rots; the OS moves on and the software no longer runs. DRMed software has its servers shut down. Online games get shut down. Etc. The most loved software typically has enough interested hackers to keep it alive; releasing bug fixes decades later, defeating DRM, emulating server software to keep old online games alive, etc. But if no one cared about a piece of software, it won't be long before it "rots" and becomes unrunnable in the future.

Somewhat related, your comment reminded me about a piece of online performance art. It was a website with an animation of a dying astronaut, a countdown, and a clickable button. If the button wasn't clicked within a certain amount of time, to reset the countdown, the astronaut would die. Forever. As long as someone, somewhere, on the internet clicked that button, the astronaut would keep on living.

Things were touch and go when the website first went online. Not a lot of visitors meant not a lot of people to click the button and keep him alive. But it went viral, and his life was nearly assured.

I believe in the end a server glitch or something ruined it; the countdown ran out and the astronaut died. And that was it. There was no reset after that. For a brief flicker in time that virtual life burned dimly enough to light up the internet. Now he's merely a buried artifact of internet history.

The transience of the act is what gave it value. If something never dies, if it can never be lost, what value does it hold?

At the end of the film Blade Runner, the "Tears in Rain" speech. I always felt like he was saying he finally found value in his life. Androids, living only for a brief few years, didn't find much value in their lives. But he realized he had seen and done things that nobody else in the world had. And when he dies, those things will be lost forever, like tears in the rain. It seems pointless. But that loss is what gives value to his life. He isn't just another android. He's something priceless.
I feel the same way in europe, and it applies to much simpler things as well: clothing and shoes. It's incredibly hard to find shoes manufactured locally, or at least regionally.
Funny story - I sent to go comment on this on my mobile phone. Decided my response was too long for mobile, then went to my computer.

In that time, this post disappeared from the front page and from the "Ask HN" section.

My guess, is people are flagging the content.

Also, I've emailed the moderators about my website:

https://hnprofile.com/

Which, consistently gets 4 - 6 up-votes very quickly. Yet never went to the front page, even though my reddit version of the website did:

There was no suppression they were aware of, but it did look like my "friends" were up voting. If your "friends" up vote; they don't count. It's quite possible, you were receiving no authentic up votes and as such your post did not rank. You can always email the moderators and ask, contact info is at the bottom.
>Algebraic effects basically mean that you live in a single monad that can be either widened or narrowed via new effects or new handlers respectively.

Yep, it is a restriction as I said. Algebraic effects basically live inside the free monad, so that's what I meant by that.

This restriction, versus using separate Writer, IO, etc, monads, is far more easy to reason about. Types in Haskell become insane with monad transformers. It produces code that is difficult to understand and reuse.

edit: Algebraic effects can also be derived from delimited continuations.
Wow, what good timing. My wife and I don't cook a whole lot so we don't want a full size oven, but were thinking about getting one of these smaller toaster-oven footprint appliances. We were looking at the June oven and, e.g., the crazy Brava Light oven (which seems cool, but I can't get over the woo-woo marketing materials).

Cook's Illustrated is a really respectable magazine, so this recommendation carries some substantial weight for me.
I don't agree with you that it is mind numbing drivel. A lot of his works are cute or fun or provocative in their original settings. Often a light mix that really shouldn't be taken so very seriously.

But overrated, sure. In that what is fun to walk past painted on a wall somewhere easily loses something significant when it is detached from that context and elevated to the point much of his work is.

I live in a part of South London with lots of walls where street art is sanctioned, and I walk past a lot of it that I love where it is, but that I'd never consider putting on my wall at home. Banksy is a bit like that, in that I love that his work is out there on walls, but that doesn't mean it'd mean anything on my wall.

Driving in a city with even a basic public transit system is almost always slower than taking the train anyway, so time isn't really a factor. As for comfort, I don't think all the negative externalities of having a car-centric urban area are worth that trade off - what about the comfort of bikers and pedestrians that cars disrupt?

In the US at least, we already massively subsidize road infrastructure and gasoline, I think it's fair to let people who actually live in cities enjoy them, rather than bend over backwards to accommodate suburbanites who only come in for work.

Also, cars aren't a magic ticket to mobility. Elderly people often can't drive and end up stuck in their homes. They have to be purchased or leased, and maintained, etc.
If the chip was found by a contractor of Apple then Bloomberg has indeed asserted something that is factually wrong. But it is not a materially important error, and calling it a "new assertion from whole cloth" is severely overstating the magnitude of the error.

Named patterns rarely have anything to do with best practices, even for the hypothetically optimal context the pattern was supposedly invented to handle.

In fact, seeing code that uses a named design pattern is usually a severe bad code smell that people were very confused about how to model the domain problem in an efficient way and fell back to a pattern as a lazy way out.

Using named patterns is the local development equivalent of “nobody got fired for hiring IBM.”
Bullets are cheap. Rounds cost more, which is why I reload. I can reload .45 ACP for 1/2 the cost of economy ammo, and get better consistency.

Even if commercial ammo were cheaper than reloading, many precision rifle shooters load their own rounds for accuracy.

I really dislike that mechanism. I want to read controversial posts because they might challenge me. I have to resort to using /active to get an uncensored view (at least that seems to be what /active does). Also, getting many comments on a submission doesn't necessarily mean the subject is controversial -- it could simply mean that many people have experiences to share on a certain subject.

Can we just let the up votes do what they're supposed to do and stop trying to distort the system with weird arbitrary rules?

I believe most of the FUD is, in fact, coming from those rivals.

Brave proposes cutting out a bunch of middlemen through the token market and making the browser something like an anticheat system: opt in and it does its best to serve quality ads while preventing click fraud.

> Driving in a city with even a basic public transit system

This is not true for almost every major EU city I've been in. Yeah, many routes yes, the common ones - of course. Once you need something more specific, it can take hours to get to the other side of the city.

> what about the comfort of bikers and pedestrians that cars disrupt

This is bad planning, not a side effect of having 4 wheel road vehicles. It'd be exactly the same with only public transit if you wouldn't change how you design roads.

> Also, cars aren't a magic ticket to mobility. Elderly people often can't drive and end up stuck in their homes. They have to be purchased or leased, and maintained, etc.

Not saying they are a magical solution to everything, I'm saying they help a lot - because they do. I was ill three times this year and having a car was literally a life saver, I wouldn't even be able to buy groceries without it. My grandmother wouldn't be able to get to her cottage without a car because public transport simply doesn't go there. My parents wouldn't be able to raise 2 kids with wildly different interests at the same time because they wouldn't get them to school and then themselves to work on time without cars - actually they wouldn't be able to work at all because of how much time they'd spent in a bus (we calculated it one time).

BTW with comfort I meant this: During summer I drive car exclusively (taxi or mine) because I physically can't go inside a bus - it's so hot, humid and smelling that I start throwing up and losing consciousness almost before I go inside. Yes, I'm a particularly sensitive person but I'm not the only one.

> They have to be purchased or leased, and maintained, etc.

That would be solved with the system I proposed above. When I'm saying cars, I mean four wheel vehicles for ~4 persons, not that I'd like to maintain the entire current system as it is. I'd like to see more much optimization and

Algebraic effects (at least in multi core ocaml) are a restriction on monads because the function passed to bind in a monad may be run multiple times whereas the equivalent continuation after some effect may only be run once. Therefore one cannot use algebraic effects to eg do the equivalent of what the list monad does.

It's fun to make one of these: use two metal coffee cans, suspend a washer between them using string tied on a plastic comb or something. There should be only a small gap between the washer and each can. Charge one of the cans- rub styrofoam on fabric then touch it to one of the cans. The washer will swing back and forth, transferring the charge from the can you touched to the other one. It makes quite a racket.

You can make a chain of these.

> The latin1 character set has a code point for every byte value

No it doesn’t. The whole range of 128-159 are undefined. However, the old MS-DOS CP-437 encoding (which is incompatible with latin1/ISO-8859-1) does. So your trick is valid, but not with latin1.

It might just be slow- or lack of initial momentum. When I did Show HN for a beta of my window manager, I got quite a lot of conversation, and about a 100 points. Last month (two years later) a post about a major release got 0 traction.

How to Power Up Shopify Store with AR Quick Look

Haskell get things much better than Python.

For example, if you use `readFile` from Data.Text, you'll use utf-8 names and read utf-8 content. If you use `readFile` from Data.ByteString, you'll use utf-8 names and read utf-8 content. You just import whatever you want at the local namespace and use it.

If you define a conversion procedure, you can make code that accepts either text or bytes, and return either one too, automatically. The tools for working with text have equivalents for working with bytes too, whenever that makes sense. Combining text with bytes is a type error, but there are so many shortcuts for going from one to the other that one barely notices them (unless you are concerned about performance, then you will notice).

That small article is basically all that you have to read to be productive dealing with text and bytes differences.

"MURPHY,MARK" from the “Pastoral Counseling” was brought to the stop spot instead, this was fixed.
Banksy is not typical, though. As noted in other articles, the auction house stated that the artist gave them the frame as it was an integral part of the artwork.

This has been planned for some time it seems.
I’m biased towards websites, but truncating text server-side to provide an excerpt is something I need to do pretty often. Providing a count of remaining characters is maybe less common, but Twitter, Mastodon, etc. need to do it, and people expect emoji (for example) to count as one.

Plus sometimes you’re the one building the text widget with the truncation option.
I'm saying the EU can force Google to stop behaving in an illegal manner.

Your idea of a potential remedy for this behavior may not be the one they land on.

However, it is certainly a remedy which they have employed in the past, something Microsoft is very much aware of:

>The 2004 [Microsoft antitrust] ruling ordered the company to open up source code for server communications protocols to rivals, in order to allow them to build server programs that work as smoothly with Windows as Microsoft's own software.

Yesss, finally a use-case for the `<noframes>`-hack! This is actually even better than the approach of OP since we're guaranteed to get a plain text representation of the text (instead of the browser parsing it as HTML).

script.src = "https://unpkg.com/showdown";
document.head.appendChild(script);

var noframes = document.querySelector('noframes');

script.onload = function() {

converter.setFlavor('github')
