CS student and owner here. Thanks for adding my project to HN! In fact I noticed this post by investigating on why my server has been continuously going offline in the last hours - apologies for that, it has never had such traffic peaks before and isn't on a high end hosting :(

The site is in a particular phase, as having little time for it anymore I'm (literallyL giving it away to the Linuxgizmos owner to be integrated in a larger site and possibly become more useful.
Anyway, feel free to ask me anything here, I'll be glad to answer anything :)
I'm actually not sure about what you are trying to communicate. Are you attempting to mock me for highlighting logical fallacies?
Either that, or some people tend to see "vegetarianism" and "dictatorship/genocide" as orthogonal, while seeing "low-life scum on the internet" and "complaining about too much political correctness" as not orthogonal?
Ask HN: Anyone else experiencing issues/comments (dis)appearing on GitHub?
I'm seeing issue comments that appear and then disappear.

Anyone else seeing anything like that?

From the page:

> Add EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System), a lightweight read-only file system with modern designs for scenarios which need high-performance read-only requirements, eg. firmwares in mobile phone or LIVECDs

and

> It is a experimental project, under the staging directory, and still expects to make changes to the on-disk layout.

I see it's included in the 4.19 branch of the Raspberry Pi fork of the kernel as well.

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-4.19.y/drivers...

There is no public, open source mkfs utility/integration for it yet far as I can tell, but it seems from the original public announcement of EROFS on LKML that it will be released eventually.

> the open source of erofs-mkfs is _still_ in progress, it will be released as soon as the internal process ends.

You have to do it fast. You certainly can tweet a lot of identical tweets if you aren't in a hurry: there is a "Rock in the forest"[1] that tweets "Nothing happened today" (in Russian) every day for several years, and most of the time the text is exactly the same. Interestingly enough, the time of tweet varies widely from day to day, so it looks like a human or a program specifically made to imitate one.

How exactly does a shareholder notice the 'book value' of a company?

Publicly traded companies are obligated to file quarterly reports which prominently list this number; Googling "$NAME book value" will bring it up for any publicly listed company in the US. A particular retail investor may not notice this, but this is approximately "What is the difference between a number and a string?" for professionals.

In the majority of cases, shareholders don't attempt to extract book value. So-called "value" investors preferentially invest in companies which trade at a discount to book value; this tends to correct trading prices towards it, without the nuclear option of cracking open the company to sell off its juicy innards. (Which does happen, very occasionally, generally via private equity buyouts.)
The Future of the Empire Files and Social Media Censorship
Hi ben, it's clearly not the best place to discuss this, but I still wanted to leave you some message here, hope it'll reach you.

I don't think that you get a good language by having design by committee. I'm all for democratic process and contributions in many different areas, but you simply can't apply that to language design, but you really need a way to understand and see the big picture, and not only reason about a particular local feature.

The only thing we could do better here would be to spend more time motivating my decisions so they seem less random to people from outside, but it's time consuming to do so and I'm sadly lacking the time for it.

I understand how this can be badly perceived but you shouldn't put ill intend behind what has happened to your proposals.

Also, I saw you started designing your own language, which is very different from Haxe from what I have seen, so it seems to me what you wanted Haxe to be was simply not what it is and will be.

Tongue firmly half in cheek.
From reading peoples' complaints, they're worried that the CoC can/will be used to beat "problematic" developers into submission and reduce their ability to speak and discuss freely.

I think it's completely overblown. If a person's ability to discuss software development requires them to belittle others for their sexuality or political observation or gender or anything else not related to software development, then they should feel unwelcome and they should make a hasty exit from the community.

The CoC makes room for everyone except serial harassers. If a person can't work on professional terms as part of a larger development community, they should go somewhere else and probably work on their own instead.
That is too, just a diversion. They prefer Pentagon to be busy with their trolls than with them personally.
I think it has to do with the role America has played on the world stage up to now. If you're a beat cop in a rowdy neighbourhood, you can ignore a known criminal so long as they keep their activities discreet. If they commit a violent crime in public, ignoring it undermines people's faith in your ability to do the job.

"the Netflix iOS app no longer lets you sign up for a subscription. Instead, new users are booted into the web browser to sign up on Netflix.com. Since this transaction happens outside the app, Netflix doesn’t have to give Apple its 30 percent cut.."
...
"This approach is even more extreme than what Spotify does on iOS. If you sign up for a subscription via Apple’s platform, the cost is $12.99 per month to cover the Apple fees. If you sign up online, Spotify only charged $9.99. It has even reached out to customers to help them transfer their membership outside of Apple’s sandbox..."

On second thoughts, I'm guessing that what this ACTUALLY does is make sure that the petrol engine doesn't waste fuel recharging the battery unnecessarily at the end of the trip when it's going to get plugged in.
I believe the biggest worry is that the CoC is loosely worded, but gives lots of power for removing people from the community that don't abide by the too-loose rules.

This leads people to fear that contributors, some of them long-term, may be removed because of things like political views, even if they don't come up in a mailing list discussion, or if they were said by the person 30 years ago on Usenet.

A lot of other people feel it wrongly shifts the focus from code-quality to political correctness and feelings, which are far harder to measure objectively. See paragraph 1.
This is all just vague demagoguery.
Optimism, although good, can lead to bad startup ideas
Should the separation not be between ``low-life scum on the internet'' (the far right) and ``not being explicitly politically correct'' (being apolitical)? ``We need more political correctness'' (the far left) is on the reflected axis of ``complaining about too much political correctness'' (the far right).

I think all this handwringing over the CoC would have more weight for me if:

Perhaps an easier (and more robust) way to do this is as follows:

1) Take your points in 3D, and add the point at the origin

2) Compute Delaunay in 3D

3) The 2D faces not containing the origin is your triangulation.

To get the Voronoi tessellation:

1) Circulate the faces of each vertex in order (use orientation test if they are not ordered yet)

2) Connect the circumcenters of each 2D face you visit.

Voilà!

usury ?
The point of the original post that the parent responded to was the fact that they got an estimate of cost for treatment that just included the cost of the strep throat test and none of the other associated costs.

The parent post expanded on that point by trying to list all the other charges for a common car service in the style that would be similar to what one would see if they were admitted to the hospital for an procedure. He then reiterated the point that the cost estimate only included the cost of parts (the 4 spark plugs).

I just expanded on that by listing the other labor related charges for the procedure that still wouldn't be included in the estimate.

In terms of car repair, you just have to know about the hourly rate of the shop and the number of hours they state a particular repair will take. In a hospital setting, you have no idea how many people will interact with you and what their charges will be (which appear to be unrelated to how much time they actually spent with your case).
A torque converter a type of liquid transmission. At low speeds it converts most of the slippage to torque to allow the IC engine to deliver power without stalling. A hydraulic coupling just slips and the extra power ends up as heat.
It’s really not a fringe belief outside of your circles - “meritocracy” is one of those things that sounds like a good idea, like “communism”, but organisations and structures defining themselves by those words very rarely practice what they preach. A meritocracy would never allow harassment of people on the basis of things that have nothing to do with their code - it would take a hard stance against sexism and harassment, it would attempt to communicate in a way that doesn’t drive people away from the project in a biased manner, since those and many other behaviours drive away people who may have merit. If anything, a well-designed code of conduct can create something closer to a real meritocracy, as you don’t drive away contributors on anything but the merit of their contributions.

How to Increase Website Traffic (Without Building Links or Adding New Content)
since Windows 7.

I agree with your main point, but putting the cutoff at Windows 7 is extremely generous. Already by then it was doing absolutely insane things like hiding the actual name of the "Program files" folder and instead showing the localized name.

Let me explain: in Swedish Windows, for instance, "C:\Program Files" was traditionally called "C:\Program" since Windows 95. (Here is where the ACTUAL mistake was made that has turned into technical debt ever since -- why in the name of hell would you LOCALIZE the FILENAME of a SYSTEM FOLDER?)

Anyway, lots of installers aren't locale aware and assume "Program Files" so it used to be that most Swedish users had some software installed in "C:\Program" and some in "C:\Program Files" and it was a total mess. Microsoft "solved" this by having Explorer show "C:\Program" but under the hood it is actually "C:\Program Files". The mind boggles, truly.

Then there's the whole "Libraries" vs "Folders" fiasco, don't get me started...

For me, it's been straight downhill since Windows 98 started hiding the contents of system folders by default.

That's a pretty big jump.
Big enough that, for example, the Money Saving Expert site, a popular independent comparison site for savings accounts and similar products, has a separate category if you decide you only want good savings IF they are with an ethical bank.

e.g. You can get about 1.5% interest by choosing the best rates (whereas many popular banks offer 0.1% or lower) but the ethical option is 1.35% from Yorkshire Building Society (which is a mutual so your money is being spent buying houses for people and both you & they share the profits from operations). Lots of people will decide that actually not supporting dubious industries is worth 0.15% interest.

Not least because the mutuals tend to have fewer aggressive anti-consumer practices, after all the consumers own them so that would be kinda crazy.

CryoEM Method MicroED: Powerful Tool for Small Molecule Structure Determination
For example we could have a single address and you vote by tagging your transaction in some way or several addresses which each correspond to one answer. These should all be public.

The initial seeding should also be public so the total amount of votes could be audited as well. It's possible to set it up so you can't ever create any new votes after the initial seed (this is possible in all current token schemes for example).

> Just grant a few % extra tokens to address you control and sign the transactions to vote your way and the'd be no auditability, no knowing which votes came from where. In many elections the polling is good enough and the margin narrow enough that it would be extremely easy to do and not look suspicious.

This is a big problem with paper voting actually. At least with the blockchain based voting you cannot create extra votes out of thin air.

With paper voting you might be able to say "the faulty votes came from this district". You could accomplish the same by setting up separate blockchain votes for each district and then just adding them together to form the final vote to get the same property.

I don't think it's completely the same thing though, this propaganda and trolling could arguably be a positive for Facebook by driving engagement. Of course there's a balance to maintain but it's not necessarily all bad. Socially and ethically it might be bad but bean-counting-wise it might not be that terrible. Facebook doesn't really care if people trust what they see on the platform as long as they generate pageviews and get ad impressions.

On the other hand I don't see how fake reviews and bootleg items do anything but hurt Amazon by making people distrust the platform. You don't want to add friction to the buying process by making people triple check that they're not getting duped.

And it's not like it's a new problem either, lack of trust was a huge issue in the early days of e-commerce, I'm sure Amazon doesn't want to return to these days where you felt like you were swimming in a sea of scams.

Here is a good starting point to research the critique of this document: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12004#note-6 . Its point is particularly apt:

Redesign of web programming
Web languages — HTML, CSS and JavaSscript are the best choice for kids and for amateur programmers, because they are very simple, and with them you can create many interesting things: sites, mobile and desktop applications, web servers and robotics — what else an amateur programmer needs for happiness?

Visual programming!

Visual programming frees programmer from monitoring correctness of syntax program syntax, it is useful at beginning of training. This is the next stage in development of text-based programming languages.

And programming on the touch screen!

I suggest using the touch screen to create applications. You can create applications on the tablet, for example, lying on couch, or walking in park. I developed a new way of working with text on a touch screen, based on Flexbox.

But in the usual web programming there are two problems:

1) Web languages have a many of unnecessary features. To create real good programs you do not need to know these languages completely. In the beginning you can master core, the basic features. The rest you can learn later or never use.

2) In the professional web industry, besides knowledge of these languages, you need to know many other tools. To learn them you need to spend a many of time and effort. But kids do not need these complex tools, they need simplicity. The amateur programmer does not need to conform to industry standards.

We must clearly understand the beauty of web languages. The programming tool can be and should be simple.

Let's distinguish three areas of programming:
1) professional industry — complex standard tools and stress
2) teaching kids, at school or alone — minimum of stress and complexity
3) amateur programming — creating necessary programs for yourself

The second and third group of programmers can use one simple tool that I propose. Programmers from the first group may not understand the meaning.
