> That's because Twitter changed from a "user" focused to a "celebrity/journalist/CEO/etc" focused platform.

That seems about accurate. Same with Instagram, in my experience, although if you know a bunch of other people on the platform I suppose you can all follow each other, and then the experience is different.

Actually, I personally follow less than 100 people on Twitter. None of them are celebrities, journalists, or CEOs. They're not people I know either. Twitter for me is basically RSS for posts by a handful of interesting people who don't have blogs. I force it to stay in "latest tweets" mode and hide the sidebar with the latest viral hashtags. I spend about 10-15 minutes a day on Twitter.

It's very telling that everything about Twitter seems to be actively trying to make it as difficult as possible to use it this way. The "ideal" Twitter user seems to be someone who follows a few thousand celebs and spends every spare moment working through the latest viral tweets and memes.
Getting around geoblocking probably doesn't require the main video streaming connection to be through one of these IPs.
GitHub Trip Report
Some supermarket ads in the mail last month showed 3 laptops, 1 very low end atom x5 "skype machine" and 2 amd zen based medium class.

I think zen will make a lot of sense for the majority of people. price/perf will reign over intel potential hedt products. If you give a 4 core + good gpu to the average joe for half the price of an intel he'll probably never look back.
> You need a strong and powerful state to enforce minimum wage laws.

I agree with you comment up to this point. The Party is State and can do whatever it wants. In this case the party chooses to not enforce certain property laws (unpaid wages, IP laws, pollution, etc) because they think that works better for the Party.

Workers are expendable. People are expendable. The Party must survive. It's no different elsewhere (consider the EU, for example), it's just a matter of degree.
Ideology (in this case "crypto true-believer" ideology) is a very powerful motivator.
> There are good reasons that most of academia moved on from philosophy.

There are philosophy departments in almost every reputable University I know...

Everything that is non-STEM is underfunded, it doesn't matter if it is philosophy, anthropology, sociology, history, etc. This has nothing to do with academia itself, but with the managerial society we live in, where MBA-types decide on the value of everything with simplistic, dumb and short-sighted economic metrics.

Science absolutely needs philosophy. Science is philosophy. There is not a lot of encouragement to do real science/philosophy these days, because this requires deep thinking and following all sorts of unknown paths. Everything must be justified in terms of what gadgets can be built with the discoveries.

We are going through a profoundly anti-intellectual stage in western culture.
I after. How is it any way desirable if .org doesn’t actually represent non profits? If anyone can register a .org regardless of status then it might as well be sold to the highest bidder, as it was meaningless for a long time already.
For anyone on Linux it's also a better choice with Radeon, since they're actually cooperating with writing a FOSS driver for their cards. With nVidia you're stuck with a less than stellar third party FOSS driver or using nVidia's own proprietary driver.
This is a great example of why you shouldn’t put more stock in someone’s argument simply because they claim to have evidence corroborating their argument. What’s important is to see the evidence.

(See Jasper’s later comment that the described scenario was in fact a very specific example that probably doesn’t extend to many very common simple DOM manipulations and might have relied on a browser-specific optimization that no longer exists.)
WSL 2 has changed a lot, as it's now a native Linux container. The speed therefore is also native. Be aware however that WSL 2 still requires Windows Insider builds, although on the slow lane as of November.
Kim, et al, are certainly awful, but what makes North Korea unique is how dangerous they are. They could kill an enormous amount of people in Seoul: https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/tools/TL200/TL271...

And they have been eagerly pursuing nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare capacity for decades, complete with long-range missiles: https://www.nti.org/learn/countries/north-korea/

The goal of sanctions (which are part of extensive dialogue) is to limit the DPRK's ability to threaten even more people, and to push them back toward more discussion and more engagement. I'd love it if that had been even more successful, but if you think "no good result" has been achieved, you haven't been following the situation.
Value is created by private equity buyouts through operational improvements.
Nobel Prizes in the sciences do seem to withstand the test of time better than economics, literature, and (laughs) peace.
And that was half of this post, the blog was as much about using their new product to track this problem as it was about finding the problem. Kudo's to solving a problem you find while making the product.
The cloud is eating business relying on licensing. This is relevant for both open and closed licenses. By the way I have wrote a post on that when the MongoDB debate was raging: https://medium.com/hackernoon/aws-and-mongo-and-open-source-.... The way for Open Source to survive is to make it attractive for cloud providers.
Show HN: Manage Dotfiles with Stow
Why don't you think the parent post is accurate? Reddit is terrible logged out, but that's because its use case is basically "follow subjects that interest you, discuss whatever you want".

I'm also not sure what you mean by "one way" texts. That seems to describe the format of Twitter, rather than its use case. Why would someone want to send a small text to no one in particular?
This. I do what I can but if shows I watch suddenly end in ‘my region’ while it continues in another then I will find a way. It is the internet and it is global; the old way of regions needs to go; it has been gone for a while for but I want to pay for my Netflix to be the same as the US (etc) one. It is not though; I do not watch too much but when ‘they’ get me hooked and then run seasons behind another season, well... I was explained why it is that way, but, like you, that wears thin these days; they had at least a decade to fix it for new content but they keep doing it.
The O(n^3) is to compute the minimum set of operations to transform one VDOM tree into another VDOM tree. React apparently uses simple heuristics to generate a diff in linear time.

It's important to note that a large portion of the frame time in that demo is spent in browser code, recalculating styles and redrawing. I modified the demo to display the amount of time spent in the actual function that updates the DOM nodes, and I can crank it to 50,000 before that number exceeds 16 milliseconds: https://fiddle.jshell.net/btzqw47u/show/

For comparison, my quick-and-dirty React version of the demo spends around 100 ms in React/updating DOM elements when you have 50,000 particles: https://jsfiddle.net/t6js8k5e/ (If you try that one at home, be warned that the browser might hang for a few seconds when you click the "Animate" button.)

I'm certainly not a web performance expert by any means, but this seems to support Jasper_'s assertion that you can make tens of thousands of DOM updates in 16 ms and that frameworks add substantial overhead to this.

(And FWIW, my modified non-React version of the demo maintains 60fps with 2,000 particles in Safari on my MacBook Pro from 2015. Admittedly, that's without many other programs/tabs running.)
A lot of it is totally new content; how could they not write up the contracts a few months ago to allow global distro?
Ask HN: Any configuration/setting sharing service?
I've always been configuring and setting up things like NGINX servers, Tomcat servers, Gunicorn/UWSGI servers, or any type of web server and etc. Or maybe setting up architecture with code in AWS, or even configuration management of any kind. Why isn't there a place that we can see all kinds of Ansible scripts?

Anything that involves settings or configurations, there's not a "one and all" place to look at. We have to painfully look through the documentation that has hundreds of options that doesn't describe them very well. So we go find blog articles that actually give us the knowledge what that option actually does.

DevOps engineers might like these kinds of work, but for people who aren't DevOps engineers but have to do them as a software engineer don't really like configuring scripts all day and not be able to code!

Okay! Here are the questions:

1. Is there any sort of service that can solve this kind of problem?

2. If there isn't, is there anything close to it?

3. If a solution doesn't exist, I would love to make it!
Unfortunately tech also lacks people with vision, those that have the gut feeling to believe something is possible without having to be proven all the time how to get it done.
So, there are no techniques that work consistently.
Jumping from pirating for personal consumption to selling someone else's IP is a bit much, don't you think?

I found In My Room to be an incredibly moving album. Djesse left me feeling far less after a first listen, but when I returned a few days later I started to notice things I had missed and now I really enjoy that album as well.

I am very moved by his music, in large part because of its cleverness. At the same time, I completely understand why many people are left unmoved. Different strokes, I guess.
> mostly his music doesn't do much emotionally

Couldn't agree less. I am so moved by at least half of his stuff.
Try "Lua" or "Feel" from Djesse vol2 or even "In the real early morning" from his first album.
The OP article is talking about "lack of collaborating with other people" - but it is opposite to reality. Most of his later work is collaborations with a lot of brilliant musicians.
I understand, and I'd ask no one with financial struggles to make more efforts.

Even the people that could buy ethical don't do. The previous century dilluted some important links between people and created a bit too much of a race to the bottom.

I mean & I interpreted that the common user/man thinks of what (is the purpose) after hearing these site names.

Not many people outside HN Crowd or tech knows about reddit; many of those regular fols use Facebook for reddit-related things like discussions, meme, groups, meetings etc. So, for a common user (not HN Crowd), Reddit is unknown -> ????.

Same with twitter, as one of the above post said User thinks Twitter is for Celebrities, so they follow, & think that Twitter is for one way communication from Celebrities from a higher stage, saying their opinions & User may reply to that Celeb, but it will be drowned in other 100s of replies, just like as if a Politician is talking from a stage higher up & any of the audience member's voice will not be that high/hearable & also that that Politician is not talking one-to-one with that particular user; albeit as one-to-many users as in collective audience.
Well, I would I agree that watching and not paying is wrong, but I am paying. In the end the show will appear on one of the streaming services I subscribe to and pay for. Like in the olden days I downloaded shows because of this region crap and then bought them on dvd when they came out even though I already watched them. The content owner apparently does want to offer it to me, just not here (sometimes I can drive for one hour across the border and then I can get it; how insane is that; also how is that different than switchting on a proxy of my neighbouring country?) and that is not acceptable (to me and many others).
As a semi-professional jazz nerd, he's absolutely "got it" in the majority of tracks he records. "Right now", his appeal is to folks who understand all of the tricks in modern contemporary harmony, and his payoff is that he subverts it in "the Jacob Collier style". His burden is how/when is he going to figure out how to invoke that frisson in the average (non jazz-nerd) listener. See: Steely Dan, Frank Zappa, Herbie Hancock, and others.

I am reasonably confident people are going to be dissecting Jacob Collier harmonic choices in the 2100s and beyond, similar to how we dissect John Williams, Charlie Parker, Jaco Pastorius, and other modern composers today.
I’m not on Twitter myself, but I imagine it’s simply about putting the content where your audience is. How many people will click through a tweet’s link vs. engaging on the platform itself? Also, if you have a Twitter account but not one for longer-form work, are you going to set up something new just to say one thing that’s longer than usual?
Many doctors, patients and family members of the period believed that despite potentially catastrophic consequences, the results of lobotomy were seemingly positive in many instances or, at least they were deemed as such when measured next to the apparent alternative of long-term institutionalisation.[1]

Lobotomies do something, unlike the other cases in the article.

How to Watch TCP and UDP Ports in Real-Time
The thing is; they do want to sell it to me; it will appear in a few months/years. At least in case of films/shows. So that ‘the copyright holder does not want’ is not true; they just signed contracts with actors, writers etc for a certain region to pay less and/or get more %.

I have used Postres during 4 years, Oracle and SQL server since 2000.

Postgres is a nice database, but there are enterprise deployment use cases that it doesn't cover, which might be consired a niche, fair enough.

What I don't consider a niche use case, is that its development tooling, meaning graphical DB management, graphical debugging of stored procedures, data modeling tooling, or integration of language runtimes into the database are all a bit behind of what those big DBs are capable of.
With actual war criminals winning peace prizes I do wonder what is the point of it. The value of an award is in the company it puts you in, now it looks like the peace Nobel is just worth its dollar value and its value on the TED circuit.
Ah, indeed, it seems like modifying transform is a lot more expensive than modifying left, for some reason. I didn't think to check that and assumed they were roughly equivalent. I'm guessing browsers do extra work on setting transform to recalculate style. What a bizarre result. Nice work!

Multiplication tables are the most lucid way to explain long division. In order to get from 5 to 40, you need to keep adding 5s until you can't. So to divide 40 by 5, keep subtracting 5s until you can't any longer.
AeroSlider Concept (Tubeless Hyperloop)
Speed should indeed be the default behavior, which is why I'm so upset at React being so slow. It really shouldn't be; computers are fast. We shouldn't have to multi-thread updating 2,000 objects to get performance.
Epyc has much slower boost clocks. It's far less flexible.

And people should expect features like memory support to be the same across the chips.

Is there a reason nobody will take common 3600MHz chips and put 9 on a board instead of 8? Why is all the unbuffered non-ECC memory 50% faster than the unbuffered ECC memory?
What prevents, or tries to prevent, bit rot in standard CPU hard drives/flash drives? Is there some built-in forward error correction at some layer? If not, how could one add some?
I'll play the 'open source eating cloud' argument because what merit it has, isn't addressed in this piece.

How do computers earn people money? Speaking in 2019 that's obvious. Cloud providers earn the most.

There used to be other ways people got rich off computers.
But all those businesses imploded against the awesome might of '0 marginal cost', 'only good solutions survive', world of open source.

Open source has 'removed more profits'/'provided more value' then the cloud.
Cloud is simply the high profit game until competition kicks in, open source tools become the norm, and only the value of the virtual machine is sold at 1% the current price.
Not a surprise. AMD offers better CPUs at better prices.
And good luck if you want to try and resolve a problem. There is no customer service to speak of.

I really wish there was a competitor to Google. They're one of the most opaque organizations around as far as their primary revenue stream - AdSense - is concerned.
The race to the bottom guys need to get a life as their work isn't useful and relies on a gross misunderstand of the challenges in real life science applications.

The limitations for microscopy are, specialists that can analyze the data and run the experiment, along with the cost of regents for cells.

It costs us $35 an hour to use the world's highest-end microscope but $400 to buy macrophages, and maybe $150 for the nano-diamonds. The student that runs the experiments cost $50,000 a year.

With so many real, actual problems to solve (like people dying of cancer), I don't quite understand what motivates these people except for a lack of creativity.

You can also see that their work is rather boring by their choice of academic venue, the lack of peer review. I would certainly reject their paper if it were submitted to any optics journal.

IMHO, luck needs to be earned. There must be a reason for luck. Some may argue that some people are born smart and rich and they never did anything to deserve that. Well, even at the very beginning, when there were just a bunch of DNAs mixing up together, the entire process followed the very predictable laws of physics. It wasn't luck or coincidence. It's our interpretation of this physical process invents the identity if that child and attributes it with the undeserved luck, while in reality it's just a predictable physical process that couldn't have a different outcome.
> the guarantees provided by any safe language are insufficient to prevent information leakage

i’m curious why?

i understand if a “safe language” provided unsafe capabilities (like marking a section with unsafe keyword to access registers or raw memory) then of course that’s a problem... but if you don’t have global variables and memory access, shouldn’t it be possible to cover it with just software?

maybe i’m missing something?
(and apologies if the answer is obvious ^^)
Being an old dog at tech, given how the community has been anti-GPL licensing, pushing for non-copyleft licenses, I predict that in a couple of years we will be back to the PD, Shareware, Demoware, Beerware, PostcardWare, whatever were all the way to share code during the 80 and 90's on home computers.

And it is already too late to change course back to GPL being widespread.

Every year there is a new project replacing GCC with LLVM, on Android the kernel is the only major GPL piece still standing (with Fuchsia on the horizon), on embedded there is a rise of non-copyleft OSes (including Zephyr, a Linux Foundation project), and so on.

React lends extremely well to games, especially with hooks. Now you have reactive components, but also algebraic effects.
Ads are massively effective.

My friends and I launched a physical product over the weekend last week. I put together a basic landing page and bought some Instagram ads. We spent about INR 250 (around $4) before I stopped the ads to do some optimization.

That $4 in spending brought us 1 customer who placed 2 orders worth $35. He also referred 2 other customers who placed an additional order of $35. $70 in revenue for the simplest of funnels is wildly lucrative.
I use a Z-Wave 6-in-1 multisensor from Aeotec in each room, strategically placed in the corners so as to cover only motion in a single room. That takes care of motion sensing, temperature, humidity and luminosity (not used for automation, purely informative). The other two are UV and vibration sensors that are not as useful.

Setting a short motion detector rearm time lets me start a decay timer for the light that just turned on. If no motion is detected again, it starts lowering the intensity gradually over 10 minutes and finally turning the light off. I added a button in HA to override this and keep the light on when needed.
Vultr is one provider you can pay in crypto I think; any others?

React has hooks. They are essentially algebraic effects. Check out some of the demos here: https://github.com/react-spring/react-three-fiber and look for "useFrame".

useFrame binds a single component to the render-loop. But in a managed way. Once the component unmount, it's getting taken out. You can also stack calls like that with something like a z-index, which is awesome for effects.

This game uses some of it: https://codesandbox.io/embed/react-three-fiber-untitled-game...
I use Aeotec Z-Wave Multisensors permanently connected to USB power (they can also run on battery). However, any PIR motion sensor would work, such as the cheap models from Xiaomi (but there's the extra cost of battery changes).

You can. This is what the demo does. The scheduler takes that amount and schedules is, which is the point. Every game engine does that (for instance frustrum culling). Games face an impossible amount of data, and schedule it. This is also true for native dev where you have priority dispatchers and threads. What React does is exciting because it schedules at the very root.
