Try following a region on one of the lines moving strictly horizontally to the right with relaxed vision (not focusing precisely). Choosing a point close to the top of the lines should be easier.
News is unbearable, but not because of the format. Recognize that reading the news becomes habit because the news of the day becomes useless fast.

I realize that this is a contradiction from me, a HackerNews reader, but I feel that part of the reason I come here is for inspiration - on new technologies, ideas, and new code (show HN). When I refer to news earlier, I'm talking about the stories and articles you might have found in a newspaper. They may contain inspiration but IMO are much more clickbaity and only written to fill space.
Why does this discussion always immediately jump to the absolute worst case scenarios? This should not be such a black/white, us/them topic. We are not advocating for eugenics, or caste systems, and the other protections that we have for human rights in society won't immediately disappear.

>it would require having access to the genome of every single person you want to manage

Only in this dystopian hellscape you're imagining. This isn't about micromanaging individuals. Its about better understanding the origins of behavior in society. Here's one immediate potential application: how can you be sure that quotas in hiring aren't unrealistic and counterproductive if you refuse to research the effect size of genetics in human interests?

My overall point is that we don't know the answer to these questions and there is an emergent social pressure which presumes a worst case application of such research and does not allow for it to be conducted. This leads to assumptions pervasive in social, medical, and academic practices which we don't know to be true. What if effectiveness of psychological interventions hinges on genetics? Should such research be forbidden because of totalitarian fantasies?
This was worth the read just to discover text.npr.org. Much better on mobile than their app for me.
Why should it be resolved ASAP? This mentality that there should be no more than one viable solution to address a need is what needs resolving. Rust would not even exist if enough people agreed with that sentiment.
Guessing you don’t care for quality or that listening to an album is interrupted by unskippable ads that are usually far louder than the content?

It saddens me, as a musician and producer, how YouTube is the go-to for listening to music. We put a lot of effort into audio engineering, and the flow of an album, only to have a ton of that work degraded by YouTube’s shitty compression or ads that interrupt the intended experience.
The 3rd parties have went out of their way (via incentive) to make this the easiest possible option. Access tokens "just happen" from a process perspective. There is no need to create a password reset system, a "forgot username" system, a 2 factor auth, password policy, or enforcing password resets in certain scenarios. Tokens shift all of that work to the 3rd party the user already does this with and allows your app to simply integrate and be done, to never have to think about these things again. If the user wants to use TOTP, SMS, a second email, or interdimensional VR dance greeting in 10 years you don't need to worry about it, the 3rd party does.

"Therefore, the site owner will still have to ban spammers that created a Google account, same as they have to ban spammers that created an email address."

Sure, but instead of trying to be better than Facebook/Twitter/Google at making it hard to create spam/fraud accounts you simply have to block the ones that get through the already best systems in the world. You don't need to track IPs, fingerprint patterns, phone numbers, emails, etc to try to filter out automated systems the 3rd party does it for you and is always getting better with 0 effort on your part.

It's also frees you from ever needing to ask for more information than needed. Don't need their phone number? Great, you'll never leak it because you don't need to request it from the 3rd party or user or account when requesting the token. Just have a token instead of a password? Great, if the user practiced poor password security Google/Facebook/Twitter are more likely to block suspicious logins than you ever were AND you don't have to reset their password and send them an email, the 3rd party will. Also tokens auto expire/renew as part of the app logic, down to minutes if you want, all without bothering the user.

If you've tried to implement 3rd party logins as additional steps to your already first party system you don't really gain any of these benefits . If it's all you implement it can save quite a bit of work.

In the end though nobody should be changing your mind, it's you that should explain why the developers should support a 1st party only system and turn away those that don't want to create yet another web account or why they should support both and the associated burden for the 1% that won't login via 3rd party.
Unfortunately, half the “blog posts” take me to Medium.
I think you misunderstand. I was talking about the case when you use the hash as the password as the comment suggests.

>in that case it matters what the website below in the stack uses.

I'm not sure exactly what this means. Are you saying you should put your security in the hands of website operators? I don't think you can rely on them. According to HIBP, I've been compromised by 25 breached sites and 28 pastes. I try to design my password scheme such that no matter how bad a site's security is, it has no impact on the security of anything besides that site. DyslexicAtheist's scheme doesn't have that property.
I'm building an alternative to stackoverflow- thiscodeworks.com

Reasons why I felt the need to build an entirely new website for code snippets is because as somebody who was learning to code, I found the site incredibly daunting and unfriendly for newbies only favouring expert coders on the platform. Because:

- I can't upvote or post comments because I dont have enough reputation.

- If I'm confused, how do I ask for help if the only way to say something is post an answer?

- The snippets aren't recyclable. Meaning they are always in response to somebody else's problem. As somebody learning to code, how do I change this code to fit mine? Once again, I'm stuck figuring it out.

Anyhow my website (thiscodeworks.com) is a work in progress, but I hope I can resolve these problems & more for others like me. Suggestions welcome!
When I had Time Warner cable, I would use PopcornTime all the time without any VPN. After it was acquired by Comcast and rebranded to Spectrum Internet, I immediately received a notification that I was using an illegal service. I then subscribed to an IP blocker service hoping I could use PopcornTime without being detected and sure enough Charter blocked my internet. I had to acknowledge that I was aware of the illegal activity in order to get my internet back.

I wonder if BayStream will have the same issues.

That's interesting. Is there any more information about HN's tech stack? I know it's built on top of the Lisp dialect Arc, but I wonder about the server specs and would be happy to be pointed at some resource.

Although I experienced HN being down, I guess the overall uptime and availability is pretty decent. Keep up the good work!
> always have to figure out where to leave your child if you won’t want to saddle your partner with them.

Inartfully stated, but access to childcare is a huge deal. As a step-parent I've got Bio Dad taking the load off usually one evening a week, every other weekend, and he does the needful in an emergency. Grandparents aren't nearby but often take them home or on a mini-vacation during the major school breaks. A cousin spent last summer with us, which gave us a lot of freedom at much less expense than summer camps and babysitters.

I can't fathom how a relationship survives raising children without substantial outside help.
> Why? You'll never even double the "throughput" of that "channel", let alone improve it by an order of magnitude.

Maybe it's not about throughput so much as eliminating unnecessary mental workload and friction.

FLP and CAP aren't the same thing (2012)
Something like educational attainment is obviously embedded in a particular cultural context. What they are actually saying is these SNPs explain X% of the variation in attainment in a particular system where things are taught a certain way and success is measured by exams, and you need to be good at algebra and sitting still for long periods. You can’t treat it as a universal feature of humanity. Also the education system will look very different in 30 years, who is to say your results are stable?

This issue of outcome measures in social genomics seems insurmountable to me.
Lots of people have migrated. Some have migrated back. Neovim is developing at a good pace, porting features from some of its GUI clients to the TUI. Some of the features that set it apart have been reimplemented and landed in upstream Vim. As such, plenty of plugins are portable across both editors. Personally, I’ve stuck with Neovim since I switched.
>And it can be solved in the finance field with cheaper energy sources.

In Germany the market prices for electricity go down but at the same time the residential rates go up massively. There are two reasons for that. Firstly coal plants can't throttle down but PV and wind farms get paid anyway through a surcharge. Secondly large industrial consumers are exempt from the surcharge. This means residential users are paying the electric bills of aluminum smelters, etc. In other words. The cheaper the electricity in Germany the higher the final price. Isn't that absurd?

The surcharge wouldn't be needed if there was a working CO2 tax or carbon trade system because all coal plants would be shut down and replaced by load following natural gas plants which only run when truly necessary.

Ask HN: Sould we equip all children with an extendable stop sign?
This question might look like a stupid joke. And it actually is. But any joke has a little bit of truth in it.

I was walking down the street in the morning. On the sidewalk I saw a group of children with parents waiting for the school bus because the school was too far because of zoning. The cars were passing by despite any moment some child could jump and rush across the road. Why the cars didn't stop until the bus arrived?

The bus blocks the vision? No, there was a big tree and a sign that made the whole crowd invisible from the road. But an extendable stop sign would help to save lives!

Think of the children, vote for me 2020!
It was more than a simple incorporation. There was also all of the associated tax filings and entities.

For example, I doubt as a teen you set up any kind of worker's compensation payment system for your employees.
Just out of curiousity, can you say a bit about how it influences your every day thinking? And why is measure theory so essential to really understanding probability? I sort of understand why it's necessary to have the language of measure theory and be able to talk about the measures/probabilities of uncountable sets but don't really understand beyond that. I have the equivalent of an undergrads understanding of measure theory after numerous gos at it but I haven't ever been able to piece it all together to have a cohesive understanding of the area the way I do for say linear algebra.
Genomic diagnostics for trisomies or other conditions on embryos are routine.

NeoVim is still under very active development. I switched a few years ago and have yet to feel any need to switch again -- though with Vim 8 there is less of a strong argument to switch away from Vim if you're already using it.

Not sure why this isn't the top comment. Clearly the case. Skip is very clearly an also ran in every category, and are now trying to make it about less than it really was.

Notably, Lyfy was rejected with much higher scores and no failing categories. So Skip didnt even barely miss. It was a true whiff.

Ultimately sad, because yes, SF does have issues with companies not following the rules and profiting, but this does not appear to be such a case.

How do we "reasonably discuss any issues" unless someone presents examples of the "issues"? I suspect most of these "issues" don't exist.

> reasonable people do not keep lists of examples like this

Per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21796919 you don't have to.

The lack of such delinquent SO examples here is telling.
No one is ever arguing that everyone is 100% the product of the environment. I mean it doesn't even make sense, unless you count very base-level DNA interactions (DNA is in fact a physical molecule and not one's soul, as a reminder) such as transcription factors and chromosome architecture dynamics etc. in which case we are 100% the product of that environment. Of course no one ever really settles down on a clear definition of "environment" (just like "intelligence" btw).

But even saying a number between 0 and 100 doesn't make sense. It's not additive. Interactions are incredibly complicated, even when it comes to organic diseases. Complex social traits are just way beyond our reach of understanding. (No, doing a bunch of GWASes to draw correlations isn't understanding, not to a biologist at least. Maybe to a psychologist) The reason there's been a dearth of research is because science is hard, boring and the few people who are very willing to jump to conclusions tend to be shady individuals funded by no less shady organizations that no one serious wants to be associated with.

Scientists aren't afraid at all of inconvenient truths - see global warming, cigarettes/asbestos causing cancer, lead poisoning, nuclear research, various environmental research, etc. They aren't specifically holding out on some sort of terrible secret about the IQ of black people.
Neovim has a lot more features. Neovim's equivalent of popups are floating windows, they are just normal windows so they can be harder to configure, but the end result it better.

What an Ergodox lets me do is this: while standing, with good posture, I extend my arms, level with the ground, to where they comfortably and naturally want to be.

Then, I put the keyboards there, adjust the desk up to that height, and put books under the monitor until the center is exactly level with my eyes. Trackball to the right.

This is dramatically more comfortable than anything else I could be doing. It's hard to convey how uncomfortable a straight keyboard is to someone who hasn't tried the alternative.
Thanks, that worked, thus it was more of a "blinking yellow led" kind of thing, not rock solid like the red/green aspect.
The problem with the newspaper/news industry is that the value their audience places in the product is less than the value that advertisers place on access to that audience. Additionally the cost to generate and deliver that product exceeds what the audience is willing to pay and in many cases the value of that audience is low enough that even advertisers don't offer enough to cover the costs.

Print newspaper subscription revenues were pretty much a break-even with the costs of delivery. That does not include the costs of paper, ink, printing press and associated personnel, or the cost of actually staffing and running a newsroom. A large part of both their revenue and audience attraction was the classifieds section, which was killed off by craigslist.
While I appreciate those that do.. I simply can't imagine trying to keep some older hardware alive and running like this... I have reached for emulation time and again, and while there have been headaches and hiccups, it still seams easier than physical hardware to me.

In this case, I'd probably just try to do wired to a wireless ap/bridge. Especially since fast data isn't needed, a cheap $20 AP would probably do well enough (though wouldn't be integrated into the laptop itself.
Change the file from "Popularity" to "Recently added" will probably do the trick.

>Some of us are actually interested in truth, which cannot be obtained if one perspective is irrationally forbidden as taboo.

A thousand times this. If the taboo'd claims are false, then the other side should welcome discussion and scientific experimentation, as that will further prove the taboo'd claims false. Suppose a group of people claim the sky is actually brown, not blue. Suppose academics and governments respond harshly, silencing all such people and banning all attempts to determine the color of the sky. This would have the exact opposite of the intended effect, it would make people wonder what's up with the blue-skyers' irrational behavior, and it would make people wonder what the blue skyers are trying to hide. Instead, let the brown-skyers talk and let them perform their experiments, and it will become manifestly clear that they are mistaken!

Meh, I would get a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4, configure it as a wifi bridge, and connect the laptop to it via wired Ethernet. It means you can't carry the machine around while playing DOS games from the network, you'd have to keep it in a fixed location. But other than that it seems way less hacky.

I currently have my desktop PC (and a couple other machines) configured this way except using an Intel NUC as the bridge.
The advice to use the text only versions for NPR and CNN is solid advice.

I think news is negative and by and large news organizations serve elite interests. In the USA this is mostly to make democrats hate republicans and vice-versa (the slave class, formerly known as the 'middle class', is thus easier to manipulate and control). Since I like to keep my news ingestion to 5 or 6 minutes a day, I use The Guardian's (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news) free morning email of top stories. Really a nice service.

Also compared to corporate/elite lacky news sites like MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, ABC, etc., I find Democracy Now (https://www.democracynow.org/) to be a breath of fresh air.

I contribute to The Guardian and Democracy Now.
This is a great thread! Lots of different perspectives on a difficult technical problem, plus appearances from many of my favourite Rust characters: we've got Ralf telling everyone that only abstract machines exist, boats turning up halfway through to contradict everyone, and Douman dropping by to offer the unhelpful C++ perspective.
The main issue with systemd is UX. The config files needs too many knobs for simple run-forever-in-background use cases and half of the time you get weird permission issues related to sudo. Documentation feels half baked and requires digging through manpages. A pm2-style init in Rust would be a lot better.
No. We’re used to click on the top links because that has been the way to present search results since the origin of search engines. The presentation of ad links elsewhere would not trigger the same amount of misclicks, whatever their presentation would be.

I was under the impression that this is a pretty known effect. I used to take anti-depressants along with CNS stimulants and this definitely was something that my psychiatrist and my other doctors mentioned to me and considered when choosing an appropriate dosage.
I think with a program of that size and complexity, it will be memory hungry no matter what language it's written in. Visual Studio is a C++ application if I'm not mistaken, and it can be sluggish and slow for larger projects.

The obsolete technologies are artificially kept alive through direct and indirect government subsidies. The only thing that stops us from reducing carbon emissions is that we don't choose to reduce carbon emissions.

Electric cars are too expensive? Just build more of them and the price will go down.
Battery storage is too expensive? Just build more and the price will go down.
Renewables are too expensive? Just build more and the price will go down.

It's a matter of choosing the new technology and right now nobody is choosing. Lots of people are proud about polluting the environment and I don't think I can change their mind, the government can't. We all know what this means: nothing can.
