skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Hello everyone, OP/developer here!

If you are already using the extension, you can see the "[op]" beside my username too! ;)

There are many extensions out there that add quite a few features to Hacker News, but they also always do one thing, which I have realised, is a slippery slope: changing the minimalistic design and style of Hacker News.

I created this extension with one thing in mind: I am NOT going to mess around with the overall design or style of Hacker News. It's sacrosanct.

There are quite a few feature additions and interface tweaks that are implemented, a few of the important ones being:

* Reply to a comment or edit/delete your comment without leaving the page (do it inline)

* Navigate through items and comments using your keyboard (vim keybindings)

* Sort/hide stories and auto-refresh periodically

...and many, many more. The GitHub README details all of them.

The extension is available on both Chrome and Firefox. Hope you all enjoy it!
We had exactly this with the <portal> element https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19866584

It gets shipped in Chrome (often without a W3C spec or substantial discussion with other stakeholders), and then other browser vendors are forced to play catch up.
Of course the US has backdoors. What they are buying is the power to fight US enemies. Not US friends or the US itself.
I guess this will give them a reason to build a space shuttle, and a place for it to go?

Nothing wrong with analyzing data in Excel. Nothing wrong with running limited operations in Excel if it is done by the same people and highly standardized.

Tracking major operations in Excel, mostly outside the existing ERP which is happening more often than not in my opinion, is big no-no.

Side note: I know people pasting screenshots from other Excel sheets into Excel sheets....
>Humans are not carnivores

Yes, we're omnivores. Or it's complicated [1].

> and lions don't have grocery stores.

Sucks to be them.

But we have been eating meat for millennia, naturally, before we ever concerned ourselves about reading/writing and math, so there's that.

>If ducks stopped raping other ducks, they'd go extinct too. Not really sure if that's an argument in favor of human rapists, though.

That would have mattered only if the same conditions applied (e.g. extinction threat otherwise), which they don't. So it's looks more like a way to force the argument against eating meat based on a strong association with something obviously negative ("think of the children" style argument).

This is how it is typically being done. This is not a problem. Problem is that being concurrent, end to end this process is serial, so you can't process any element of this pipeline in parallel. You can run only so many of those until you run out of time to fill the buffer.
I think it could be helpful for you to watch this video:

Isn't that how all communication works? Aren't you relying on your perception and cognitive abilities to interpret my comments to reply to them accordingly? What exactly are we discussing here?

Of course my personal interpretations could be wrong; nonetheless, clear-cut cases of users complaining and demonstrating entitlement towards free software developers is something I cannot possibly endorse.
I'll agree as long as you do not see Photoshop as the end goal for user friendliness :-P. Personally i have used Photoshop only a little and every time i used it i found it much harder than GIMP for the tasks i wanted it. I'd like it if GIMP became more user friendly but i'd really wouldn't want GIMP to become more like Photoshop as i do not see that program as user friendly.

(for reference, the image editor i see as the most user friendly is Paint Shop Pro, especially versions 5 to 7 - and note that i mean the most user friendly, not the most capable or robust)

This is the tool I've developed to replace my messy portfolio management spreadsheet.

It's UK only and it's likely to stay that way as I want to deal with a lot of the intricacies of UK tax wrappers and pension rules.

It keeps all prices up to date and draws some nice charts of asset allocation, split between different tax wrappers etc.

I mostly invest in investment ISAs with some money in SIPPs and BullionVault (precious metals custodian).

I'd love to know what everybody thinks.

The team working on Rebo has a lot of ideas about what to do next but it would be great to hear what you think the next feature should be.
I try switching from Chrome to Firefox at least once a year, but the UI design keeps me firmly entrenched as a Chrome user.
What you had is actually really close to what I was thinking. I like the idea of talking about some technical thing I figured out, and group it with other ideas or interests (like your photo page, I liked the photos!).

I am currently protoyping the idea with my wedding page. I built a self hosted WordPress service, learning how to set it up and maintain it has been an interesting challenge.

And to me, I'd ask why does it matter if you don't know how to use gdb or $TOOLSET? A lot of learning has to start at some point, and for all you know what you figure out either helps someone new or it shows someone else a new way to use it.
In the US this is unlikely to happen because the big 4 sports all want to control their own distribution, TV rights, and streaming. I think they believe there's more money in that method.
> * Timeouts rarely work. Try to respond with something which makes sense. Like if your kid throws around things, they need to clean up (with your help).

I usually find timeouts to be more of a cool-down period; both for my kids as well as me. They're never long (I have young kids) so we're talking on the order of a couple of minutes. They provide a good break from whatever it is they were doing and give them a chance to re-approach the situation.
It's not that "you don't need a carrier", it's often that you "get to use a carrier". Carrier battle groups are much safer than dirt landing strips on foward operating bases.

In China everything is delivered by electric scooters, delivery people get paid for it, more coffee shops can survive because otherwise they would have to provide more space which is very expensive, and most coffee is delivered in a paper bag with a paper cup stand.
> Perhaps what is needed is a simple standard API that wraps OpenSSL, GNU/TLS, mbed TLS, Polar SSL, et al - that covers a small set of standard use cases.

You mean like libtls[1], the OpenBSD project's attempt at hiding the guts of LibreSSL/OpenSSL? I'm not sure how well it lends itself to swapping out the backend, however.

I thought ARM was made in Europe? Maybe England doesn't count as Europe proper? Or because it now belongs to an Asian company?
It's worth adding to this: even if the LTV would not hold in its "quantitative" form, which it is often only taken to be, even given the power of financialization in the last century there is reason to believe it would hold at least qualitatively. Several leading Marx value-theorists argue that the theory does not work (or could not work) on the level of the individual commodity, as illustrated by Marx, but only on an aliquot representative of the lot.

Next, theories of exploitation regarding labour are going strong; they don't feel challenged by the idea of the financialization of social labour. For example, there is the theory of unequal exchange (UE) exploitation in which one agent (the exploiter) among other factors contributes less labour than the exploited, but receives the same or greater amount of labour back (i.e in the form of goods and services). There are two principles at work by which analytical Marxists have analyzed exploitation: the Profit-Exploitation Correspondence Principle and the Class-Exploitation Correspondence Principle. I'd recommend looking at the work of Roberto Veneziani and Naoki Yoshihara (both academic economists) on this matter.

Finally, there is some work arguing for the fact of exploitation or the status of the LTV in financial capitalism[0][1][2]. I would not say that financialization poses a serious problem to Marx's value theory, which is primarily a social theory of production - any society must reproduce itself through labour, which forms the material basis of survival of all within that society. There is disagreement as to how the LTV works regarding "non-freely reproducible" commodities, which in today's capitalism come in the form of goods protected by copyright and trademarks. The theory Marx proposed was never meant to deal with this, so I wouldn't say it's a defect in the theory, only that the theory lacks some explanatory power. But neoclassical theories of value also lack the ability to explain the price of such goods.

Losing digits seems relatively easy - that's where hooves come from (horses have one toe left, goats two). It's gaining digits that seems very hard. It's possible that some configuration of six fingers could be better, but we probably can't get from our local optimum to that without going through major disadvantages. Apparently five has been the maximum number for most creatures for 420 million years: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1org2e/why_do_m...
Yes, I think we would never agree on most of this. For me accountability begins and ends the individual level. I can never be accountable for someone else's actions and they can never be accountable for mine.
> internet connected devices only came long after minidiscs were gone

The CD-R was already there, but more importantly Internet formats had happened. The advent of the internet made people switch to the MP3 as the primary medium for popular music consumption, because it was easy to move on a still-pretty-slow network.

At that point the market went about finding the fastest way to deliver MP3s "from modem to ears". Minidiscs were better than CD-Rs in that regard (they were R/W, compact, and didn't skip; whereas RW formats for CDs were bad, fragile, expensive, and prone to failure), but still nowhere as good as an actual hard drive in your pocket (an mp3 player) with its high transfer speeds and ever-increasing capacity.

In the timeline without the internet, people probably don't care for MP3s and have gone for "something like the CD but smaller and RW", i.e. the minidisc.
I mean.... the govt can check whatever they want on the WeChat logs. And the populace is pretty accepting of this for security reasons (if you aren’t going off the “government can be corrupt and abuse it’s powers” principle its actually kinda hard to make the privacy argument!)
Fake or forced positivity is really the most depressing thing to deal with from my experience with depression. It suggests that the positive is fundamentally a lie.

On some level it is seen through as fake and dystopian - turning even being yourself into a luxury for the sake of delusion of others - either some high up who thinks it will aid metrics or the casual cruelty of a community who asks if you tried just not being depressed and clearly sees you as the "troublemaker" for not going along with their bullshit because you literally lack the motivation.
I wish people would just focus on the part that regards journalism, free press, free speech, sources and releasing leaked information.

All the rest will fall along political lines. Liked or disliked for the effects on political allies and foes. It’s obvious if you have followed this case.

Three years ago the right loathed him, today they love him and conversely today the left loathes him but 3 years ago they loved him. The state apparatus however still see this as an adversarial act.

So, instead let’s discuss the implications of censorship (state and self-imposed) and journalism this case has.
>> What about tantrums in public

> Like tantrum at a restaurant, take them outside till they cool off.

Our youngest had a gold-plated tantrum (with screaming turned up to 11) on a flight with me last summer, triggered by me insisting that she fasten her lap belt.

Short of carrying a tranquiliser gun (joke!) I'm not sure what one can do with an over-tired, over-excited 2 year-old in these situations, apart from try not to get into them in the first place.
From South Africa to the EU it is generally in the 150-250ms range, sadly we're far away from the major centers.
> "It's such a sad waste that all this money has been spent to identify and track down illegal activity when it could have been spent making the overall legal experience good enough that most people wouldn't need to resort to illegality."

^ This. (Same principle applies to myriad other misguided efforts to exercise some form of control.)
Haven't read too much yet; but damn, that site is pretty.
Looks great, but I think the homepage should do more to convince me that I can trust it. Who runs it, how is it funded, is there any guarantee they won't run out of money and shut down, etc.
Which knowledgeable circles?

This seems demonstrably untrue: "Thus the oligarchs were born which quickly led to the kleptocratic Russia we know of today"

Oligarchs have been a mainstay of Russian society since at least the time of Peter the Great when one of his main policy positions as Tsar was reducing the influence of the oligarchs (then called Boyars).

Plus, Russia under Soviet rule was unbelievably kleptocratic and corrupt.
You cannot run the pipeline in parallel. Sure you can have a pipeline and work the buffers on separate cores, but the process is serial. If it was as simple as you think it would have been solved years ago. There are really bright heads working in this multi billion industry and they can't figure that out. Probably because that involves predicting the future.

This may be easier said than done, but converting roads into shared spaces may be an answer to that.

London for example are phasing in stricter low-emission areas, which should technically mean less cars will be passing through. Eventually, they could re-purpose roads so that the primary function of them is for pedestrians, bikes, bike/scooter storage etc rather than 4+ lanes of car traffic.

That is why I believe it is temporary anyway, it seems natural that cities will head this way.
Did you miss the part where they are donating all the proceeds to charity?
I mean wechat is useful for talking to Airbnb hosts, but so long as you don’t have just 100s you can still pay people with cash

Also visa renewals? What is that in reference to?

The Medium editorial team kinda messed that one up, I gave permission because I thought it was really funny that Medium was gonna feature me bashing on Medium. Which it was but they kinda just made it dull and ruined the tone.

I've decided to renounce the web after more than 7 years as a professional web developer. My current plan is to see if I can transition to making Swift apps for Apple devices instead.

This was partly triggered by the recent news that Google is taking aim at ad-blockers in Chrome. I doubt I would have ever wanted to go into web development if I knew what the web of 2019 would look like without ad-blockers.

A couple things drew me to the web.

1. You could write a site once, and it would work (pretty much) in any browser.

2. The dev experience of being able to instantly see changes was great.

3. It was easier than app development.

After dipping into some recent WWDC videos, I was impressed to see how far app development had come.

1. With SwiftUI, you can learn once, and build apps for pretty much any Apple device.

2. The dev experience is great with instant live previews (in the beta version of Mac OS Catalina).

3. SwiftUI is very easy to reason about, particularly when coming from a component-based architecture framework such as React or Angular.

At this point, waiting for an "app-like" experience for web apps feels a bit like waiting for the year of the linux desktop.

Progressive Web Apps have come far, but they still have a long way to go, particularly in "feeling" like a native app experience. When interruptible animations are introduced, I'll give them another look.

For a long time, the web had the perception of a free and open democratiser, but it's become completely commercialised. It's a petri dish for privacy violations. Why has my ad-blocker stopped 18,000 trackers in the two months since I've had it running?

I want to make tools, not marketing funnels. Apps that follow Apple's suit will encrypt user data so that not even the app maker can view user data. When was the last time you saw that on the web?
>We should care about unnecessary suffering because we can.

"We should because we can"? There are many things that we "can" do that we better not do. There's no automatic logical deduction from "we can" to "so we should".
They will eventually stop being beginners.

However beginners or not, unless your primary file format is XCF, GIMP will always annoy you about not saving your image even though you did it - just instead of saving it in its own proprietary format that nothing else supports, you saved it in something that can actually be shared.
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. A thinly veiled insult perhaps?
> Someone at that 3rd party copied and leaked the data.

Or someone broke into the 3rd party infrastructure and made out with the data. Music-related businesses are not exactly renowned for their cybersecurity standards. We'll probably never know.

they already have the little red book-esque app that solidifies Xi as their permanent leader.

I think that's explicitly against the site guidelines here.
I was there last month and it was almost impossible to get money on your WeChat account without a Chinese bank account. It was easy to fund my Malaysian WeChat account but the balance isn't transferable or usable in China.

There's currently one remaining loop hole I know about which is to pay someone to send money via a red envelope / hóngbāo but it's getting increasingly harder. It's already asking you for a passport and right now it still works even if you cancel that but probably not for much longer. You can do that either if you know someone, ask someone in a store if they do it from their personal account or through some websites that take PayPal but with a hefty commission usually.
Words are used to communicate, and language is fluid and changes over time. Clearly, zero-day is being used and understood by many to mean simply "unpatched", and so that is a reasonable definition. If ever you're arguing that a significant proportion of people are using language incorrectly, you're probably on the wrong side of history.
Going to China soon and everybody tells me WeChat will help me a lot over there. However, I cannot create my account without a "voiceprint". It wants me to read some numbers to fingerprint my voice. Apparently I cannot skip this step and I am not very comfortable with that.
Interestingly I try Chrome once every which and go right back to Firefox for exactly the same reason. I find the Chrome UI intolerable. Tiny tabs, inflexible GUI, less interesting extensions, etc. I also tend to use _many_ tabs (grouped by topic I'm working on) so maybe I'm a bit of an unusual case.
Even if you use Export to save, GIMP will complain that you didn't save the image you just saved because you wanted to use a format others can open as opposed to the format it wants to push.

It is not a major issue, but it still is an annoyance you have to face constantly if you want to work with other file formats directly as opposed to treating them as second class citizens regardless of what sort of editing you are doing.
Cool video, ty for sharing the link.
Everyone would be willing to buy a Laptop for $5 but pricing one at $500 doesn’t mean demand isn’t matched or the business model is flawed. It costs more than $5 to make a laptop. This is an extreme case but often I see the argument that it’s ok to pirate because it’s too expensive is a flawed argument. Lots of people want things that are cheaper but it isn’t always possible. That being said some companies abuse this and over charge a lot, but nonetheless the argument that free is because it’s too over priced is a flawed argument. Otherwise I could use the same logic and steal a laptop and say it’s he business fault for selling it at $500 instead of $55

Marx begins to deal with this in his theories of rent; a more accurate criticism of Bastiani would be that he believes one can have profit without surplus. It is obvious, and was so when Marx was writing, that not all profit is due to exploitation of labour.
I was browsing a Ruby file today and clicked a variable name and github showed me where that variable was used elsewhere in the project. It was pretty cool.
