It's immoral to teach your kids anti-science truth or co-science truth. There is one truth, scientific truth, and you should pause before beginning the process of teaching your kid that there are optional, comfort based co-science truths. Having said that, it's neat reader.
I doubt age has anything to do with it (unless you imply younger people prefer shitty interfaces) since Reddit's new site is awful even on mobile. I always switch to i.reddit.com not only because it is much faster, but also because the new layout just unusable with somehow combining both oversized (even for mobile standards) elements and tiny elements all over the place, needing a ton of taps to just read comments (which means you'll often mistap something and the slow loading takes ages), popups getting in the way, etc.

It plainly sucks.

At least unlike other sites, they have the decency to leave the old UIs around, so not everything is bad.
The amount of stupidity surrounding this legislation is appalling. The obvious solution could have been:

- Use or make something similar of the ill fated Do Not Track header for anonymous users. The user decides on his stance regarding privacy. His machine makes it known to the server, the server acts according to the users wishes. No further user interaction required.

- Decide what to do if the user authenticates. Use the method above or offer a more granular way to control privacy settings to be configured by the user in his account settings.

Though that would basically kill analytics. The reasonable default for such a Header is no tracking. The controversy around the existing DNT header and the attempts of at least Microsoft to set it to "no track" on default, is "enlightening".

Isn't there a contradiction in your answer? Since the probability of interaction far away is not zero, why is it not included in the "radius of that interacting object".
Sure, but that overhead is also not essential, but a feature of Go's particular implementation. Fibers aren't one thing and there are many, many ways of implementing them. As I said before, implementing them for Rust well would have likely required changes to LLVM and Web Assembly, and even then it would be harder than async/await, perhaps to the point of being too hard to be worth it and probably against aspects of Rust's philosophy (I would say that that is the main difference between the two: achieving similar performance is much easier for the language implementors with async/await). But it's just not true that there is something essential about them that makes them slower. After all, you're running all of your code inside a particular implementation of threads.

Things i tried to keep using way longer than most:

-windows 7 (upgraded only for widi support - and i miss them)

- skype (i d never upgrade if i could)

- photoshop standalone (still use it)

- office 2007 ( still use it)

- dropbox (no option there)

- old reddit

- iphone 6

- jquery (plan to avoid npm until it dies of natural causes)

- windows movie maker / photos

In fact it s getting harder to think of things that are clearly better.

Not only are newer versions slower, they re lacking features that were working just fine. Something happened in the past 4 years and suddenly worse became cool again. There s def a worrying trend.

My theory: the mobilification of everything is destroying tech. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy: make everything mobile-friendly so more people switch to mobile-only (why?). Second, mobile has terrible user feedback mechanisms. It's too burdensome to send feedback and the apps are so limited that there's physically no space for asking to add new features on the screen. That's why it's largely desktop apps that are affected - not server apps.

(Ironically, table-based HN has the best responsive behavior for reading text on mobile than any "responsive" site).
This leaves me completely unsurprised. Every time sexists come out with "brain differences", we find they are culture differences.

It's isn't a given that M:N threading is slower than 1:1 threading even in Rust. A particular implementation you tried exhibited that behavior.

> One has a stack, and the other doesn't. That's a significant difference.

They both have some memory area to which they write state. Calling it "a stack" refers to the abstraction in the programmer's mind, not to how the memory is actually written/read. It is true that in order to support recursion, a thread might need to dynamically allocate memory, but so would async/await, except it'll make it more explicit.
Hail to the Chief of Staff
i ran analysis on our codebase, most of the files had 40% rewrites, with some outliers being 90% rewritten. the file sizes followed linear distribution, usually from 100 to 2000 lines of code. when the 90% rewrite hit a larger files, it accounted for almost 50% of total effort put into development. what i got from this, for a single component i take the ideal estimate then multiple it x2, and do the same x2 project wide. there's additional friction when integrating outside components, but i'm rarely blamed for it, so i don't care that much to put it in estimates.

now the hard part is selling the idea to the management, like "here are our ideal estimates, lets multiply it by 4". when doing freelance work i usually bill for the ideal estimated time multiplied by 2, the rest being my risk, on the other hand any changes in the requirements, or miscommunication is a risk of the client.

It also has a 1984 mode: "Cantlon suspects the answer involves the societal messages girls and young women get"

This kind of conspiracy theory being backed up by medias and politicians really become tiring. It’s easy to blame "society" for everything without ever identifying a potential mechanism, formulating a testable (and possibly refutable) hypothesis which is the basic job of a scientist. And of course this kind of claims are never accompanied by a single concrete exemple... which would be easy to find if there was even a small basis of reality behind them.

> Stable consistent APIs don't help lock-in

I do not think this is true, Windows has a lock-in on desktop explicitly because it has a stable API that allowed it to amass a huge library of software that keeps people relying on it to get that software working.

For the largest majority of people, Windows' worth is its stable API (even if they do not realize it).
Lots of interesting numbers and anecdotes in the piece, but they fail to mention a simple explanation for why tipping still exists despite being discriminatory and inefficient: we're playing an asymmetric game.

- Tipping is massively beneficial to both restauranteurs (who can pass on the cost of human resources to the customer) and to servers (who can make a good salary performing unskilled labor - provided they are good looking, well spoken, etc etc).

- To the rest of us, it's not so terrible that we are willing to bear the public shaming we could be subject to for failing to conform.
It's contrary to human nature to shrug off bullying. Even if you are strong, it changes and traumatizes you. Society should not rely on people growing unhealthy thick skin.

That is also true, however in this case the Indian government did officially rename Bangalore to Bengaluru in 2014 in order to drop the anglicised version of Bangalore. Yet many people still refer to it as Bangalore.

For example, Google Maps redirects Bangalore to Bengaluru, whereas it does not for Moscow.

Moscow: https://www.google.com/maps/place/moscow

The UK has a lot of unused land on a percentage basis.

Granted, half of that will be in Scotland and ideally your solar would be further south, but even then, you're probably talking about switching less than 5% of the arable land to solar.
I'm pretty sure that was the official talking point at the time, and some people may have even been motivated enough to actually belief it.

Of course that all changed once Node got threads.
The only compliant way to show tracking ads is to first ask the user if they can, where the default in case of non-response must be NO. You can't have it default on, and you can't condition access to the site on accepting non-essential cookies (where "essential" is for the actual site function, and not "essential because our business model means tracking ads keeps the servers running").

Once this is enforced properly, the web will be a better place. Right now it's a mess of cookie banners with no real function, that people just click OK to.
I stumbled on Indian Twitter a few months ago, and discovered hate at a level and volume, I’ve seldom encountered in the internet. It’s probably a window into what’s happening on closed forums like WhatsApp, but it is profoundly disturbing. If the hate does progress into real-life violence, social media networks like Twitter and WhatsApp are going to face a grim accounting.

Yes, the GDPR prohibits most of it. But it's a law, so it doesn't inhibit data collection in any way. The inhibition must come from the companies themselves, and the mechanism to drive that is fines and penalties. Time will tell how effective the GDPR is at that.
Yes, but that is not relevant to my argument. Validator validating is irrelevant. HN's markup is not wrong because it works. You use sgmljs to deal with the unnecessary mess that SGML/HTML/XML started.

From GitLab: We did decide to moderate this post for review, as there have already been credible personal and physical threats against GitLab employees in this issue thread. GitLab cannot tolerate posts that threaten our employees (or anyone) personally, or posts that we believe may further inflame threats that have already been made. While this particular post did not contain a personal threat to anyone, we were concerned it would further inflame this situation. We understand that those who follow the issue already received the comment.
The legislation proposed the most obvious solution:

- just don’t collect anything, don’t even require cookies

From there every significant actors of the industry, short of firefox and Apple (perhaps Microsoft ?) just went on looking for the other ways, workarounds, anything to keep their business as close as it is now.

That going as far as completely cutting off whole swaths of users just to not bend to the rules.

This is a marketing strategy for the rich. These people have to demonstrate feats of work to justify why they make thousands of times more money than normal people. Of course, no person can do work that is a thousand times more valuable than that of an average person. It's a ruse.
The user experience should improve significantly once the new EU ePrivacy regulations are effected; these will make browser settings (for example, your settings could be: 'accept first-party cookies, reject third-party cookies') the source of consent. There's a decent summary here:

https://www.i-scoop.eu/gdpr/eu-eprivacy-regulation/#The_EU_e...

Perhaps this will lead some advertisers to attempt sketchy things like server-side application integration so that their cookies 'appear' to be first-party; either way, the policy has teeth and can apply fines the same way GDPR can, so any advertisers (or services themselves) found to be storing cookies without consent which are not strictly for site functionality may find themselves in hot water.

I'll be willing to bet that less scrupulous marketers who make a decent chunk of their revenue from users who they mislead into clicking / purchasing goods (i.e. targeting less skeptical users) will also attempt to get their audiences to lower their cookie settings. Think banners with content such as 'to get access to this special deal, we need you to update your settings'.

Note that it's completely possible to build rich web applications that don't use any cookies at all, especially nowadays with localStorage and all the infrastructure for progressive web applications.

It's also worth noting that cookies were controversial when they were originally introduced - it's not like they're some fundamental infrastructure that we've always relied upon. Here's some privacy and cookie advice from 1998, for example: https://web.archive.org/web/19980210083135/http://internet.j...
That's the original intent for expungement of records.

Two challenges:

1) Criminal records are digital and searchable online now. Hard to expunge the internet.

2) Employers in the U.S. now ask "have you ever been convicted of a crime greater than a minor traffic violation or ever had any records expunged?'
- As long as employers can ask question #2, the purpose of expunging records/your idea are rendered useless.
Well, publisher and advertiser made it a joke, by trying for the last ten years to extorcate unappropriate consent from users (and bothering them as much as possible in the process).

And regarding the option to set your preferences at the browser level, of course this is the best possible solution, but if you are following the ePrivacy reglement discussion, the article 10 (permitting browser to obtain consent for website with a standardized interface) is pretty close to getting killed.. Money talks.
TikTok trend? Here we go with a new analytics tool
My commute is an hour each way, more or less. On my 10 minute drive to the train, I listen to the radio, usually NPR or Bloomberg.

On my 30-40 minute commuter train ride, I either browse around or focus on some personal side projects, programming or writing. During this time, I listen to music. Typically podcasts or YouTube videos. These are 1hr+ episodes so I typically finish them after my 10 minute walk to the office.

I used to program on a daily basis, but I realized I burned out quite a bit in the recent past so I just go with the flow now.
Once i have a dream about RN application for iOS/Android without Xcode and AndroidStudio.

Started with Expo, great tool if you don't have native modules.
But i have, very complex search library in Rust.
After few attempts the code was converted to asmjs (RN doesn't support wasm).
So i have JS-only codebase that works on Expo.
Livecoding (a bit slow beause of large js codebase) and easy deploymnet on all platforms.

After release users starts complain about performance.
RN fetch API doesn't support binaries, everything passed back and forth as base64.
Some low-mid tier phones got stuck for few minutes.
Also RN fetch doesn't support progress and a lot of other thing.

Decision was to start using native libraries.
Ehh, goodby sweety Expo...

The lesson was learned, if you have complex application don't expect too much without heavy investment.
JS is ugly and unpredictable as usualy.
Overall experience is ok/mehh, but not great.

For the next project i give Qt5 a chance.
Have you tried using a third party Twitter app (eg Tweetbot on Mac & iOS, Fenix on Android)?

I find I get a vastly different experience on those apps to the official site - on the website, tweets from various friends aren't being shown at all, and replies are being re-ordered. It's as if the Twitter site is re-ordering things to maximize "engagement" (ie outrage). The third party apps still show things by chronological order, don't show tweets that others like/heart, making for a much better experience.
So at some point in such a future it'll be the old, beatup guys who want to take the money from the young, elite, smart people.

How about we just shoot for 'everyones lives are improved' instead of just passing the buck.

You are forgetting that atoms mean nothing. It's about the hamiltonian, action, energy. There is no reason that you cannot use a shit ton of photons in flux with mirrored logic gates.

I wouldn't mind it personally, so long as it was something the employee could get without managers intefering/taking the money or it being mandatorily added to the end of the bill as a service charge. And it obviously shouldn't be necessarily to make up for a wage that the employee couldn't otherwise live on.

But there's nothing wrong with the idea of tipping per se, and if customers want to reward employees for good customer service/work, then they should be able to.
Absolutely agree. This is why my closest friends today are those I met in primary and secondary school: we were all there, though we didn't always want to be; we all had homework that we didn't want to do; we all had teachers we didn't like; and we were forced to a full 5 days per week together.

In a way — strange though it seems — one of the things I miss most about school is just being in a group of people forced to do things that we really don't want to do and that give us no pleasure, because one of the magnificent side effects of this rather masochistic endeavor is that it forms bonds with your peers.
I don't agree. 'Yellow journalism' has been around for almost 150 years. The major differentiator was who had the money to print, and an audience to read.

It would be nice to think that a news organisation's respectability would translate into a greater audience, but you only have to look at the Sun, Fox, et all to see that is not the case.

An interesting story is more appealing than one that is not, even if it is not true. And the cost of reporting false information is a small retraction printed weeks later on page 10.

The decline of news media profitability has led to the state of journalism today, which mainly consists of twitter gossip mongers, producing content not much better than the crazies at speakers corner (and often worse).
