I don't get this either - the front page has many posts with fewer points over a longer period. Maybe downvotes are treated differently from upvotes in the sorting algorithm?
The author is not arguing for simplicity per se, but about being able to insert a human into a system that is normally automated. The example about the ship's steering system is perfect, actually. The system is not "simple" (if I were on a ship and the steering failed, I would be clueless), but it provides plenty of interjection points where a knowledgeable human can step in and either debug or fix the issue. It's those points that should be relatively simple - the whole system itself can be as complex as needed.

Your system should be testable, debuggable and it should allow a human to step in and take control if needed. An open system is generally better than a closed one.
If you don't know already: we (in the UK) have our own NRA. It's much more like CAMRA than the US NRA.
Scandals from one party or the other are rarely covered equally in the news of any country. The US is not alone in the divisiveness of our politics, nor in the lack of unbiased reporting.
Hope is on the horizon:

My Issue with the Word “Value”
Is the the chronological order of the events? Because the Odyssey is told in a different order.
When you go from Casablanca to Detroit, when you arrive, you adjust to Detroit time (as well as weather, etc.) because this is the place your are in, and only take the pain to compute/represent yourself time in Singapore when you communicate with someone over there (instantly in that case).

When you travel by boat from Southampton to Auckland, during the travel, you mostly only care about the flow of time on the boat, where it is, regardless of the time in the departure & arrival places. You only expect to be in Auckland, around a certain local time.

Going from Earth to Mars, or from the solar system to an Aldebaran planet is slightly the same (but that the flow of time itself may be relative between the places you left/arrived at, and the place you are):

- you expect to be somewhere in the future in about a relative time to where you are (I'll be there in what I know/can represent myself to be X-earth-years);

- you will account for inevitable delays during travel, that might be significant at your scale, but not to others';

- when arrived there, you'll try adjust to the local time keeping method that makes sense to locals - if only because that's how you will interact with them about the flow of time.

You may get to compute what's the relative time on Earth, at the same instant, or when they will get your message. Just as everyone do today (and before) when communicating through slow (aka, human-borne) package & mail delivery.

We can consider having an atomic (or similar) clock that pulse at the same rate, on both Aldebaran & Earth. But:

1. would they be still in sync? experience seems to say no; do we know how we would be even in a position to check that remotely?

2. would it be relevant, relative to Aldebaran-time-keeping? (the atomic second as it is used on Earth is 1/86400th of a full Earth day; it may be wildly on a different planet)

A great book on this topic, especially if you're still in university is "How to be a straight A student" by Cal Newport (https://www.amazon.com/How-Become-Straight-Student-Unconvent...)

Ignore the title for now and read through it, I believe there are excellent tips in note taking and how to process the notes to really excel in your studies.

If you're already working you have to adapt that system into something that works for you best, some use a bullet journal or audio notes and process them differently.

One really interesting approach (that I wasn't able to implement yet in full form) is to take creative notes (called sketchnotes). This works well if you're a visual person.

A great book on this would be The Sketchnote Handbook by Mike Rohde.
Do you have grandparents? Or elderly parents? Or know anyone over the age of 60-70 that you care about? Or anyone with a compromised immunological system?

If yes to any of these questions you should at least empathise that maybe they might suffer from a new and unknown disease that is potentially deadly to them.

Not everyone is going to die but a lot of people will feel the effects of this uncontained epidemic in their personal lives, don't you care about that?

Take the first 8 bytes, treat it as a 64-bit long integer, and then convert to a 64-bit floating point number and divide by 2^64 to get a number in the range 0.0-1.0.

Multiply this by the number 'n' hashes in your file, and it'll very closely approximate its ordinal in the list, because as you said hashes are equidistributed very well.

Now multiply this ordinal by 20 and load a small slice of the file a few KB to either side of where you're aiming so that there's essentially a 100% chance of finding the hash in one "random read" operation.

If not, you now have a block of hashes that is close, but not quite what you want. You can use the floating point conversion trick to see "how far away" you are, calculate a more accurate estimate and do a second read. It's very unlikely you'd need a third read step.
Yes it appears so. But there seems to be a few requirements [0].

Also bear in mind a /64 is more than 18 quintillion addresses so it might be a bit more expensive. And it appears they only offer /48's to individual businesses if they meet the criteria but that is still billions of IPs.

> How does not being funded by a few investors etc make it more expensive to be funded by others?

Supply and demand. If the number of investors goes down, the remaining ones can charge higher rates. The 1001 small names would be stupid to invest for 5% if they can get 6%. The coal company would build even more plants if it were lucrative, but at 6% such and such big investment does not make financial sense anymore.

Can you elaborate what "generated output" exactly mean?
I think the distinction I was looking for was between statements like "advertising affects behaviour" and "propaganda affects behaviour" which, in the 21st century, are generally considered true and almost obvious even if we can't identify the specific pump handle to remove to stop the cholera epidemic; versus "wifi is beaming images into my brain".

Certainly "person X made a political decision based on the information they saw on the TV news and on Facebook, despite that information being either false or grossly misleading" isn't delusional in the same way that "person X made a political decision because the electromagnetic radiation of wifi disrupted their mind" is.

(I can sort of see if I squint how they're drawing an analogy between being affected by having images "beamed into your head" via some kind of scifi process and the plain old regular one of having them beamed to some kind of screen then interpreted by your eyes into images which have an effect on your mental and emotional state. But the former is witchcraft and the latter is media studies.)

I loved Go's simplicity when it came out.

However, it has become clear to me that it was a little too simple to handle all the new requirements and additions that came after v1.

That's how you get weird comments-as-code (// +build linux,386 darwin,!cgo), strings-as-attributes (tags), tacked-on modules versioning / vendoring, non-typed generics( interface{} everywhere), somewhat-typed generics (go generate), etc.

Go was not quite ready to handle all these directions people wanted the language to stretch to and as a result it's now already full of annoying warts.

I'll still pick Go if I need a simple service with amazing performance. Funnily enough though, I have no need for any of the (non-performance) additions that came after 1.6.

Some alledge that the NDB/FIS (Federal Intelligence Service) knew about the operation. [1]

At this point, it is not known who was involved in what way exactly. Some executives? Definitely. All executives? Maybe not.

A former employee believes that only 2-3 executives knew about the whole scheme and maybe 10-15 technicians put two and two together or suspected something. [2]

Launch HN: Project Management with Todo Comments
Hi HN,

My name is Patrick, the maker of https://www.tickgit.com/, a tool to help developers do project management using TODOs (soon FIXMEs, HACKs, XXXs, etc) in their code comments.

The product is free for any public Github repo, and today I'm launching a $3/month paid plan for private repos.

TODO comments seem to hit a nerve on HN 2 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21910391 and I'm really hopeful that I can build a tool that many developers will find useful. There's a free open-source command-line tool: https://github.com/augmentable-dev/tickgit, which can be used on any local git repo.

I would love to know how I can make this project useful for you and your team and have been humbled by positive responses so far. I have a lot in mind to improve tickgit, and hope to be rolling out the following soon:

- Support for more and custom phrases (FIXME, HACK, PERF, etc)
- Better searching and filtering in the web UI (show me TODOs I created, show me TODOs older than 1 year)
- Advanced comment parsing (extract markdown, ticket references, assignees, due dates, custom fields)
- Better CI integration and policy enforcement (disallow TODOs in master, ensure TODOs have a specific format, etc)
- More higher-level stats (TODOs per LOC, avg time to TODO removal/close, etc)
- Pricing for organizations/teams
- Gitlab/Bitbucket support?
- And more!

I hope you find this project interesting and really appreciate any feedback!

Thank you so much for your time and please feel free to reach out

Patrick

I'm a Programming Language enthusiast, currently making my own language. I'm really curious what makes Clojure different - it's pretty much the most loved language among its proponents (i.e. people love e.g. Rust and Go as well, but not as much as those who love Clojure, love Clojure). Is there any very Clojure-y code you can point to, that would showcase it? Is it just the libraries - collections, concurrency primitives - that could be replicated in another language? It's can be just homoiconicity, as that's just Lisp, but it could definitely be a big part of it... Do you have any ideas what any other language (e.g. Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Julia, Haskell, OCaml) would need to change to make you as productive as Clojure?

> I crossed the country from Georgia to California while homeless

I'd just like to say without snark or detraction that this is an amazing achievement. Must have taken most of a year?
There's way too much simplification and generalisation here, IMHO.

"Choose tools that are simple to operate over those that promise the most features."

Doing this very much depends on your requirements, doesn't it? What good is a simple-to-operate tool if it doesn't do what you need it to do? Sure, maybe you can simplify your requirements; then again, maybe not.

The example of troubleshooting a whitepaper form very much depends on the design of the system. Maybe there's a reason for having multiple forms. If they all shared common architecture and the problem lies in what they share, it's not necessarily more difficult to troubleshoot many as opposed to just one.

Moving from Marketo to HubSpot is good and well - for now. What about years from now? How did they end up with such complexity with the Marketo solution? Both solutions and requirements evolve. Down the line, you could end up with the same difficulties with HubSpot. I think it depends in part on how the organisation handles change.

Lastly, I agree with the sentiment of Mateusz Górski, who commented on the page: is there any hard proof beyond anecdote to back up the article? If you expand the article's concept of a system to beyond just software, all you need is a hardware fault in a third-party hosting company with lousy support for your simple piece of software to be down for weeks.
Some work is more valuable than other work.

Sounds like a problem with the code you write instead of industry. Like you are not proud of your work and it eats you.

Almost everything is connected to web nowadays(frontend and backend) and it certainly doesn't have to be as bad as you describe. I would advice to try automating as many things as possible. Especially things you don't like as there is a lot of motivation for that

It's nice how you are telling the OP to just learn to write nice code and then you support it by anecdote about how others taught you to write nice code.

I am not under the impression that OP wants to continue writing bad code.
Sure. One could tweak the regular expressions to search for countries.
Wouldn't a rational society also deal with likely and possible scenarios?

Targeted advertisement in social media is seen as something that works, because someone has a huge interest in convincing someone else that it does (although I wouldn't be surprised if it really works). And if you move conventional targeted ads to the political space you get Cambridge analytica.

And a rational society could have multiple problems with this regardless of whether it works. Elections are public for a reason — shouldn't the official party lead advertisement then also be public?

I see a strong case of banning targeted personal political ads purely based on that.
I can really recommend "How to Take Smart Notes" [1] by Sönke Ahrens. It's made a real difference for me. Ignore the self help-sounding title and give it a chance.

SEEKING WORK | Europe | Remote

Jack of all trades - full stack but happiest at the back-end. Hands-on product and project management experience give me an edge in getting the big picture fast. I will grok your idea quickly and be your reliable partner from inception to deployment and beyond.

Favorite stack: .NET, then Node.js (Typescript rules!), PHP (Laravel is pretty awesome). Often MongoDB but prefer SQL wherever possible.

Mindset: object-oriented but infected with the functional virus. Hate procedural programming.

Industry exposure: finance, telecoms, insurance. Most of my engagements recently are centered around helping Fortune 500-sized companies navigate the new digital landscape.

Availability: prefer flat-price projects with fixed scope. You can be located anywhere but some timezone overlap is desirable.

Working mode: remote, happy to meet for the initial kick-off and planning.

My partner is an inspirational designer and a wonderful human being. If you need code AND design, you'll get a 2-in-1 deal.

> There is never going to be enough people choosing services based on technical reaosns and not only content+price.

That sounds needlessly pessimistic. You could have said the same thing about music downloads several years ago, yet here we are (though music streaming admittedly goes in the other direction). People tend to choose based on convenience and music that I can easily take from my pc to put on my phone or wherever is more convenient than DRM stuff.
It's a reference to the novel "Hans Brinker" (or "The Silver Skates") by American author Mary Mapes Dodge [1].

I haven't read it, but it contains the story of the little Dutch boy who plugs a dike with his finger (which I guess is quite obviously "story magic" if you've seen a dike).

I wonder if the Dutch then erecting a statue of that boy is an example of trying to mitigate the Paris Syndrome [2] in tourists? Interesting. :)
