Twitter, Facebook and Reddit have become the new RSS readers for the masses. I get it, having an open distributed web would be a great thing but that ship has sailed, walled gardens are the new web for 99% of internet users. If your blog post is interesting enough to get picked up and shared via social networks, people will see it in their feed and hop over to view your post.

After someone has finished scrolling down their Facebook, Twitter and reddit feeds, they’re ready to start that loop all over again. There isn’t a place in most peoples mental bandwidth for adding an RSS reader to that mix. And I was a heavy consumer of RSS via Google Reader and then Feedly when GR was axed. This post just reminded me that when I got a new phone I never even bothered to install Feedly again. Totally off my radar at this point, and if that’s the case, there’s no way someone less geeky than me is going to start picking it up.
That doesn’t make sense at all for most types of screens. If anything, I wonder if a darker design might make visitors increase their screen brightness to compensate.

Back in the days there were several blog-search engines like Technorati which would use the RSS feeds from blogs to get updates quicker than Google did, because they indexed every 15 minutes and Google every couple of days.
They are used by politicians during elections. You can expect the subsidy to last "forever".

I consider it sort of a phased approach. You discover these trigonometry methods. Then you slowly intuitively understand them. Then you start to seek out new ways of expressing things (such as matrices). And you then understand why trigonometric versions have pitfalls (such as if you needed to apply something to all pixels in an image)
If the only use for roads was the things you mention most roads would be dirt tracts (fedx would either have to invest in 4 wheel drive or not deliver when it rains), with only the busiest upgraded to gravel. The vast majority of traffic is cars not shipping - even in dense cities in Europe or Japan this is the case
I have heard it said that normal people don't use RSS but many power users still do.

I'm now on Netnewswire 5: https://nnw.ranchero.com/ and write a blog: http://jakeseliger.com that includes a lot of link posts. I still use RSS for all the original reasons, even if most of my friends look puzzled by the acronym "RSS." RSS still solves the "too many sites, too little time" problem extremely well, especially for occasionally updated blogs.
Well, I think you're dreaming if you don't think this transparent score will just be combined with the different opaque systems already in place.
And from all accounts Shockly was a hard man to work for.
Well my point with that response was more of: by who's metric are you measuring your warranting being here? If it isn't history's, then I think it should be your own. And if its your own, I really believe as long as you put in a good effort - not even necessarily your best effort all the time - then that should be good enough. A higher sense of purpose is excellent but you also have to understand that life is really weird and almost never works out how you expect it to.

But I'm guessing you already know all of that. At this point its probably more about moving your own metric and zeroing in on what you want to do.
> And the government fixes the price of using a road at $0,

That's arguably true of electric vehicles, but ICE engines pay road user fees by way of gas taxes, which are nonzero and related (imperfectly, sure) to road impact.

> causing the induced demand issue.

I think induced demand is not really a road price issue: more road access -> more desirability to attractive businesses -> more demand (at the same price) for road use.

Now, if you charged higher road prices instead of building more roads, to reduce traffic, you'd avoid induced demand by avoiding attracting business and raise revenue, it's true, but the induced demand isn't a product of $0 road cost (which isn't a thing, mostly) but of increased ease of access from the short-term effect of more roads.

Your assertion that Wolfram "unquestioningly accepted this nonsense" is unfounded.

Ignore the personality assessment element. Wolfram sought to identify whose handwriting the note was, so he asked a "professional handwriting examiner" that he happened to know. The quote you extracted was her relaying her opinion that the note was not written by Turing.
They didn't "remove" the feature, they moved the feature.

Instead of a launcher widget only found on the home/lock screen of supported launchers, they instead have a permanent expandable notification widget which is available from the existing places, plus more (Home and Lock Screens like the old widget, plus usable while other apps have focus).

It contains all the same information and controls but now works in more places. It also allows you to control it/disable it directly from the App Info panel. It is also launcher agnostic. This is mostly a user training/education issue. More information:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Android-Widget-Remo...

Plus, in my opinion the whole "it is an optional feature, why even remove it!" argument only makes sense when you ignore the maintenance/support required to keep it in. Android Widgets actually require a lot of tinkering to keep working correctly between major versions and across device form-factors.

The problem is that Win32 apps are inherently unsafe. If you want a safe source for installing software, you need a sandboxed app model, which on Windows means UWP or web apps. Unfortunately the Windows store eventually decided to compromise safety in the hopes of attracting more apps (the container format that Win32 apps in the store use isn't a real security sandbox).

Lots of things are convenient until they are abused. SMTP without SPF or DKIMS is convenient if its not being spammed. Http is fine for authentication until its being eavesdropped on.

There is a middle ground. Allowing random people to plop stuff on your calendar via an API call is not the best idea. I personally have had to tell five different people how to stop this sort of spam, I don't think they'd agree it's convenient.
Yeah, I read it the same as you: so alias checks can definitely happen even for single values.

It seems like it's not just the loop counts that's the problem: in the blog post even when size is a local, it fails to check to see if the vector array pointer itself can alias.

I.e., analogous to incB here:

https://godbolt.org/z/ptQZcs

incA is like your example: the possibly aliasing is between the array and the value added, and an alias check occurs. incB is like the v[i] example: possible aliasing is between the array and the pointer to the same array, no check and conservative code is generated.

Interesting...

I've always just considered it the way that "great" sometimes means "lousy", the way "sure" often means "surely not" and "likely" used on its own most often means "unlikely." Just imagine Lisa Simpson saying it.

A sarcastic or exaggerated use of a term shouldn't really change the definition itself. In context, it is obvious that an exaggeration or the opposite is what is being implied.
Nice to see you keith. I agree that the network latency part of the equation tends to get too much play, where glass to glass is the better metric. On the other hand the bufferbloat effort started where network latencies were often the dominant contributor (seconds!) and for those that have actually implemented things like your e2e algos and/or installed stuff like fq_codel/fq_pie/sch_cake - the encoding step now dominates.

'Course, I still kind of miss scan-lines, and had hoped we'd finally all have enough bandwidth to just blast raw frames over the network by now.

Here is a news article that maybe mentions a few arrests back in 2015 in Pensacola, FL.

https://www.newsherald.com/article/20150309/Business/3030999...

However, there are additional facts not included that are pretty egregious, including Uber being aware of the law and local law enforcement's position (I think they previously operated there and stopped), then in anticipation of spring break Uber recruited drivers from outside the county (including monetary payments for drivers to do this), they never disclosed the status of the law to the drivers, and within a day the first driver was arrested.

In the last post it was Baba is You, now Undertale, Celeste, Dwarf Fortress... I think this is a big reason why his posts are so polarizing, some people agree with his premise and are willing to overlook the insulting comparisons, while others take them as a sign that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

It feels like there are two separate discussions happening, some people saying that there are beautiful games with next to no art budget and that the author should adopt some basic principles of design, with the other camp focussing on the fact that game devs shouldn't be expected to become artists.

Obviously both camps are right and the author is right in basically saying "I'm fine with my games being ugly, they're still successful despite being ugly..." but then he goes and follows that up with "... just like all indie games,"
So should software developers do “live shows” of their coding or depend on the kindness of others?

As far as how well advertising works for content, aren’t we seeing enough issues with that now between ad ridden sites and pay to win games?
I'm not claiming to provide business advice. The source of my understanding of the articles, and the business described therein, is the same as the basis for absolutely anybody else's extrapolation, both in his defence and against: the articles themselves.

It seems to me that if, in 25 years, this guy is quibbling over whether he has the money or not to improve the look of his assets, something repeatedly said not to necessarily have any cost at all, whilst other small indie development teams (even those with only one or two people) manage to make breakthrough hits that reach as wide as possible an audience and look good, sometimes on multiple platforms including console, there's plenty to say that perhaps any business advice one could extrapolate is not the gold standard that his defenders are holding it up to be.

That's fine, take them out of the OS. I'm not sure an OS should come preinstalled with games anyway.

But don't remove the games and then show me ads for them.
"better tools for mocking in tests, ways to build custom lint rules": thanks to Elm being pure functional you don't really need mocking. And the amazing DX/tooling would make linting in style of JS completely unnecessary. So no need to toil over these issues at all in Elm. It won't help with isomorphic rendering.

(I write this as someone who mainly does TypeScript, but did a few months of paid Elm work. The main problems with Elm I see are the lack of jobs + as of 0.19 the hostile (NB technically, not personally) approach to those not aligned with Evan's direction for Elm).

Yes, you are. You said:

> "Third world" traffic jams are what you get when you have enough population density.

then proceeded to throw out NYC as a non-"third world" example.

> He/She could as well make points about better infrastructure instead of disparaging places as "third world" countries. The notion of bucketing countries is derogatory, and does not add to the argument.

> And just to make my point further, OP's other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20810496 makes it pretty clear they have every intention to stereotype countries as "third world"

Yes, it could have, and the use of "third world" as shorthand for "lacking proper transportation infrastructure" was unnecessary and somewhat derogatory. However, your initial response doesn't address that. It just puts the cause of traffic jams as population density, then compares NYC's density (and, implicitly, traffic), to the places being referenced.

Utopia is a dangerous ideal: we should aim for ‘protopia’
We've been using it in production since the end of 2015. We have two main products whose front-end is written entirely in Elm, a third one in development, totalling about 80k loc.

It's a blast, it's a wonderful developer experience, it's changed my life as a developer after having to fight with Angular and React and the myriad of tools you need to use to have a decent experience.

It would be difficult for me to consider a position where I would not use Elm anymore, and if I did it would have to satiate my thirst for functional programming by letting me work with other cool similar languages.
Well, because on average, Asians are more intelligent then whites, who are in turn more intelligent then blacks.

So, for example, when NYC has special schools for the smartest minority of students, these schools end up with mostly Asians and whites.[1] This is racist.

Adaptation is key to any solution, but there is a wide spectrum between "prevention only" and "adaptation only." There's no reason not to have both, and they complement each other. And, if nothing else, adaptation has to be funded somehow, and most modern solutions aimed at prevention generate revenue. Some or all of that revenue can be used to fund adaptation efforts.

One issue with adaptation is that the people being asked to adapt aren't the same as the people being asked to prevent. It's all fine and good for the USA to say, it's most economically efficient to adapt, because prevention is expensive! But you don't see the USA dedicating a large portion of that profit stream enabled by their externalities to fund adaptation efforts in Bangladesh.
A discussion of systems programming optimization that doesn't start with single-writer ring buffers starts on the wrong foot.

Those other tricks are excellent, and I use all of them, in cases where they work at all. But, e.g., seeking a way not to need to take a lock at all should come before discovering a low-contention locking protocol.

Readers should note that packing spare bits into the bottom bits of suitably aligned pointers is more portable than using high bits. Any page-aligned pointer has at least 12 bits free at the bottom, and any malloc'd pointer has at least 2, often 4.

Ring buffer counters into a power-of-2 sized buffer can be incremented without bound, enabling use of ordinary arithmetic on them, and high bits masked off cheaply on each use.

Probably the most neglected primitive data structure is the bitmapped set. A `uint32_t` gives you a universe of 32 elements; a byte is enough for the days of the week. The popcount native instruction is very valuable here, usually expressed as `__builtin_popcount` in source code. C++98's `std::bitset` provides Standard, portable access to it, but C++20 offers `std::popcount` directly.
That... seems to me to depend on whether the process is internal (within the droplet) or external (between the droplet and the external environment, which presumably contains oxygen). If it'd internal, the hydrogen has to go somewhere, so probably; if it's external, it could just be capturing extra Oxygen somehow, so maybe not.

But I am not a chemist.

Maybe you should take your own advice there, buddy. I was specifically replying to what you said in your comment.

Furthermore, you can very well guess what's in the spice blend, but you still have no way to actually confirm it, nor any way to confirm it's the current recipe, or if the recipe diverged from the first one used (which was indeed leaked).
Is there really no difference between eating 1500 calories at once vs. over the course of 5 meals?

Of course, there is no weight loss without a calorie deficit, but are all calorie deficits equivalent on magnitude alone? I struggle with the notion that the timing does not matter at all, and much of the suggested benefits of controlling the timing focus on other metrics beside immediate weight loss.

The "wisdom" of the late 90s was that six or so small meals were better than one large meal, with respect to weight loss. Now it appears some experts would argue the opposite. Is it all just a bunch of smoke and mirrors over calories in > calories out?

It does make more sense to have them tell you they've posted something new rather than querying every 5 minutes. I'd hate to use email for high volume feeds, like HN, but I think it's an ok solution for low volume. However, email isn't anonymous and spam filtering is in the hands of the host which may cause you to miss somethings or even force the publisher to change the address it's sent from because the old one got blacklisted so badly.

I like Safari’s Reading List, except for the fact it’s chained to Safari. What it does right is that it gets the whole page (i.e. it’s not just a reader view) and auto-downloads on the phone so it’s available offline.

I’d like something that is browser-agnostic, has the option to download videos for offline viewing (for the websites supported by youtube-dl[1], let’s say), and can be controlled via the command-line.

I wouldn’t pay a subscription for it because I dislike subscription pricing and my current system is good enough (a mix of Pinboard’s reading list and Alfred[2] Workflows). Take my points as “pie in the sky” ideas you may wish to implement if you like them, but I’m unlikely to be a customer.
