I really like this style too. When I get asked to do 1 on 1 teaching sessions I often find myself teasing out answers by asking a bunch of questions using the Socratic Questioning[0] strategy.

A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post on "Would Socrates to use Docker today?"[1] which uses Socratic Questioning to help pick a tech choice. If anyone is curious on how to apply it to technology, that post goes into a bit of detail. It could also be directly applied to solving specific programming problems too. I use it to make a lot of decisions.

Ask HN: How many people are doing indefinite travel with remote?
I've been doing a lot more traveling, and I'm thinking of grabbing a bag, getting a one way ticket, and going from there. How many people here are doing that indefinite travel? How has your experience been?
It's not about democracy or ideology at all. If we have the ability to design a better place for people to share ideas and discuss what's on their mind, we ought to make it as good as we can. One of the strengths of Reddit's "subreddit stewardship design" is how it allows the site to scale while still having people take ownership of each subreddit, allowing them to give it a more personal touch and better able to respond to specific community needs.

One of the weaknesses of this is how, at least on some subs, mods are able to censor discussion largely unnoticed, without being held accountable to the community. See r/declineintocensorship, r/watchredditdie, and r/yallcantbehave for several examples of egotistical mods overextending their role with no real benefit to the community.

I can't help but think that there's a way to hold mods more accountable to their communities. For example, if the modded comment wasn't spam, it could say "this post was removed for breaking rule x which states y. Click here to see the comment," with the mod's username attached.

I would also like to see statistics on removed posts, where a subreddit gets some sort of penalty for censoring too much, such as not appearing on /r/all, or becoming downweighted in some way.
Draw.io and Web Sequence Diagrams really improved my code documentation because I actually want to use them.

Pretty rare for software imo.
> Now imagine the rules and procedures of an underground lottery.

That's what makes it so fascinating. The bingo ball machine concept you describe requires a lot of trust, that's why so much effort has to go into continuous verification. As resiliency goes, this isn't really a feature.

The underground lottery is interesting precisely because it requires comparatively little trust, and the trust it does require is based on reputation and decentralization. For example, as a numbers player, you would be placing your bets with the same banker, one who you know has always paid out in the past, and who has personal ties to you and your neighborhood. The data source and hence the information about whether or not you won is public and hard to fake.

What makes numbers an illegal racket probably has more to do with low payout ratios and the fact that it's not linked in with the tax system (also, it's an unregulated chaos of private persons conducting it).
Draw.io is a great application. I integrated it into BookStack (Documentation System) as a way for people to create and manage drawings in the platform. Was much easier than I expected and David (davidjgraph) was very supportive.

ISO 10646 does not work as you describe. I'm pretty sure most of the character encodings defined by creating a custom font were never standardized by ISO.
Then you've encountered much nicer mods than I have. My initial questions into my banning were more often than not met by a boorish mod hurling insults, even though I always kept it civil. There's plenty of subreddits putting this type of bad mod behavior on display, so I know I wasn't the only one. In fact, bad mods were so prevalent when I left, it was a daily running joke in a lot of communities.
>That's all an end-user cares about.

I imagined gp (mikece) as a HN techie (not an oblivious end-user) and thought he was wondering about how to use programming technology to avoid central servers ... and therefore, me interpreting "search/discovery in a distributed way" in a very literal manner was the appropriate level of abstraction to mikece. Avoiding central servers (if possible) is an interesting goal to discuss because they have a tendency to attract disproportionate users which defeats the goals of decentralization.

>Indexing videos once a day (or once an hour or whatever) would be very feasible.

And here, you're interpreting what's feasible only at the level of the technical stack instead of considering several chess moves ahead to emergent group behaviors which renders the metadata-only type of index a solution as not end-user friendly.

>, and some might be better at sorting for relevance than others.

And that's the server that would end up becoming a defacto "centralized" server that people were trying to avoid. This is especially true if that superior server also includes the video data.

Consider that the http protocol itself is already decentralized. If that's true why do people perceive Youtube and Facebook as centralized when they're only nodes on a http network? Because decentralized protocols don't stop emergent group behavior towards centralization.
Been using Draw.io since early 2016. Love it. Love the integration with Google Drive, as I live within that platform.
The automated removal can also come with broad reasoning in response, and that doesn't overwhelm the system.

"Violating Policy X" (where X can be something like Twitter's Rules, not necessarily something specific) is still a terrible explanation, but isn't nothing either. Vague enough spammers can't use it to game the system, specific enough that user's can guess they did something wrong.

> Time is money. A cruise ship not carrying passengers is not making money.

Time is especially money because money isn't free. When you are a company, you are generally expected to pay for your money: either interest on your loan, or profits to your shareholders (directly through dividends or indirectly through the higher stock price that comes from being a more valuable business).

This cruise ship probably has a mortgage.

that is not 100% correct. a formular with a submit button will actually trigger on enter. but not a button per se. especially not a <button type="button">.

I saw "download" and clicked it thinking to download the diagram and closed the webpage without looking at it. Maybe it's me, or it might need UX work.

Great website. (and I will be downloading the desktop client :)
Within the app, I don’t believe so. But you can from the website. I use the website mostly for that reason and because when I click on a link, it opens in Safari instead of an embedded web view.

Facebook doesn’t use the SafariViewController that can take advantage of content blockers.
Regardless, it should not be manufactured here in the US if it's not even legal to use it in the US. This reeks of lobbying efforts by FMC Corp.
There are definitely forums that don't inform you of why your post was removed because they think that trolls will use this to basically probe the defenses to see exactly how much they can get away with. Making the moderation more obscure is thought to make them more reluctant to try things. I personally don't think this works, but it is the theory.

However, it is important to consider how bad actors will abuse your system if given the chance, because on the internet there will always be some trolls trying to burn your house down.
Productivity tools often do integrate draw.io, but often are just embedding. Bookstack is one of the best integrations, the create and edit flow is exactly how we intended it.
I’ve found the draw.io experience to be so far above Visio that I just can’t imagine going back. I put it up there with VLC and Handbrake as quality apps.

It's not really an issue unless they outrank you or rank near you.

In my experience, Google's dupe content detection is pretty good and their penalty is harsh. I once ran a website that tried to curate and touch up old usenet material that never could rank all that well because of dupe content (another website had monospaced dumps of the usenet content).

Hydrogen is highly reactive, and not likely a safe fuel for commercial air travel.
for what it's worth I think a lot of the convenience store craze in Japan also comes from Japanese cities being very dense and heavily walked. Most of the states lives in a sparsely built suburban environment, using cars for most or all transportation, making it very easy and often preferable to hit up the nearest big box.

In Japan you're almost guaranteed a konbini between you and your destination, and this makes it easy and pleasant to dip in for a snack, breakfast while walking to the train, etc. This is only economically feasible in a dense environment with a LOT of nearby shoppers, particularly considering land costs in Tokyo.

(I saw a good article at some point how a lot of small-town and rural convenience stores in japan aren't economically feasible and they struggle to keep the lights on as corporate demands unreasonable amenities like being open 24/7)
Yeah, it is. It just feels like there's a lot less energy in the Linux dev scene than there was back then. Not entirely a bad thing, mind you, a lot of that energy produced heat instead of light, but still...
>No really, some people actually think Californian government institutions and politicians are doing a good job, but being undermined by forces outside their control.

The truth is probably somewhere in between. There are just as many good people working in government institutions as there are people who're there on the corporate merry-go-round. And ignoring the fact that yes, the good people are being undermined (whether deliberately or through inaction/inattention) is not conducive to finding solutions to these problems.

This article is very light on details. Apparently, this lawsuit has its source in the divorce between David and Barbara Mikkelsen, the two founders of Snopes. Barbara sold her shares to a couple of people who also owned the company that handled advertising for Snopes. That company, Proper Media, at some point withheld ad revenue from Snopes which nearly killed Snopes[0]. Now they have acquired Salon, and this article makes it sound like they're using Salon's resources to continue the legal battle, but I have no idea if that's the case.

It would have been nice if Snopes of all sites had provided a bit more background on this, though I suppose they can never be considered impartial on their own legal struggles, so perhaps they're right to keep this brief.

So if you are able to read and understand a single page of code, then you can almost definitely understand the overall design of a system and the flow of its operations. But if you are tasked with analyzing a system of hundreds of pages of code, you are likely to struggle with some of the aspects of code, such as its semantics, its design and its behavior.
Well, you sorta posted this on a submission about a paper that indicates the opposite; telling people why something was removed leads to less content being removed and other issues, so I think that might be more of a perceptual bias rather than reality.
This was my first thought. With all of these YT alternatives I always end up asking who determines what content is saved/available? What if it doesn't go along with their beliefs or political stance? There's a fine line between going too far in each direction. e.g. China vs Pirate Bay

Edit: "a system where videos require manual approval by administrators before posting them" If you're seeing a ton of porn, then clearly the sysadmin's beliefs/views don't align with mine.

This is interesting for cleaning up internal combustion engine use, but it's not so useful for climate change because although burning hydrogen doesn't produce carbon dioxide or methane, it does produce water vapor. See this page for info on that:

https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/climatescience/climatesci...

Also, the big issue with hydrogen as a fuel is that while it has a high energy density per unit mass, it has a very low energy density per unit volume... IE, from an engineering point of view you have to carry a large volume of the stuff to have a vehicle with any significant range.

Discussion of how that could potentially be done here:

https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-storage

In a way, this sort of research addresses the same problem as improved battery technology - we need mobile energy sources for moving things.

I think a major reason we haven't gotten where we need to go with this problem is that researchers tend to look for a way to replace gasoline - to find another fuel that can simply be used in place of gas/diesel using the same engine technology (and associated control, fuel handling, and other tech).

That's very, very difficult to do, because gasoline is uniquely suited to what we use it for - it has high energy density per unit volume and mass, it's moderately volatile at standard temperature and pressure, and most interestingly we don't have to expend much energy to produce it, because all that energy was stored aeons ago. We just have to get it out of the ground and separate it into usable fractions. It's essentially a "free ride" as far as energy sources go.

It's too bad continual use will destroy us.

Some of these are also semantically invalid (e.g., #7). That's less a "bad practice" and more "invalid HTML".

I think that's closer to the real reason. As a culture it seems we're more and more frequently engaging in selfish "optimizations," that are really just creating or ignoring negative externalities.

Corporations are especially guilty of this, given how pathologically focused they are on shareholders. Often their cost-cutting verges on customer abuse: (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21513556, for an example I recently read about).

I agree PlantUML makes that a lot easier. The thing is, the second you need to make something other than a UML, you’re going to another tool.

That said, while draw.io does an excellent job of their connector and arrow system usually getting it close, a UML or some sort of “strict grid mode” would be nice.

Without getting into who is a crank and who isn’t, I think the following point from the post you’re replying to really gets to the heart of my consternation:

> And how can the argument both be argument by authority whilst simultaneously attacking the credibility of those authorities?

If people are supposed to believe the IPCC because it’s a consensus statement, how can you then ask them to then assume the IPCC is wrong? Who is the scientific authority we’re supposed to trust more than the IPCC?

Your assertion that the IPCC “gives too little consideration to tipping points” highlights the issue. The IPCC seems to have considered runaway greenhouse gas effects and rejected them as “unlikely.” Why should we disregard those conclusions?
I don't think we can comment on any applications at this time.

A lot of discoveries like these aren't exciting because of commercial potential, if that's what you mean by applications. As we discover more states and more properties of these states, as we develop technologies to persist these states for longer than a fleeting amount of time, we might discover interesting properties which may have commercial uses. Sometimes, the technologies developed to create/contain such exotic materials themselves tend to have commercial applications. That's how it is with the interplay of science and technology with the economy.
Right, I think this is the real answer. I don't (and shouldn't have to) disclose my bipolar to my boss / coworkers under any circumstances, but a culture that allows for the fact that not everyone performs to the best of their ability under a traditional 9-5 goes a long way to being inclusive without singling anyone out.
