I wish there were some more analysis of the trends but lots of interesting analysis would be hard to do. I had a quick search and found some trends. eg, lisp decreased in popularity, overtaken by clojure then Haskell, then peak JS, but my memory of HN was that lisp articles were reasonably common until 2015 at least, Haskell had a peak around 2012-2016 and in the early 2010s there were loads of articles about all the different web frameworks. I see a lot less of all of those things today. Probably the biggest increase has been in current affairs. There was also a period around 2016 when articles from literary magazines (<city> review [of books]) were popular, typically articles about politics more than books. I don’t see them so much either, I barely even see articles from the new Yorker anymore.

The problem with using this site to look for some of those things is that those things were usually not mentioned in the title. I’m glad that HN still has a lot of “mystery” titles where you don’t know what you’re going to get when you click a link.

If archive "conversion" is an issue, that sounds like the new archive tool that Mailman 3 comes with is not good at importing mbox files and generating an archive from them? That seems hard to believe.

I had no issue with this with Lurker. A few times in the (now fairly distant) past I gone in there and blew off all the generated content (after editing an mbox archive file), then re-generated.

Since then I developed an invisible delete button right in the web UI, for removing spam from the web archive. If you know where to click, and what the password is, you can blow off any post.

An archiver that can't import your historic mbox files has a showstopper issue for anyone with existing archives, and may present a problem to someone who wants to rebuild a damaged web archive.
I recommend the Planet Money podcast by NPR.
The recent uptick in Show HN posts since the coronavirus pandemic started is interesting. I have some guesses why this is occurring (WFH, layoffs, new problems to solve) but it would be interesting to know exactly what's driving it.
I mean, technically correct (the best kind of correct!), but I have to wonder: if they'd started the project with "this daemon is intended to take over all functionality on the system not currently occupied by specific applications" instead of "this is intended to replace init as the core process handler", would people have been quite as quick to jump on board with it over one of the alternatives?

Guess you haven't seen Mad Men? It's Don Draper's department name. They say it all time referring to the team who creates the ad ideas.
Yes, it's necessarily so. The quality of the shoe determines how well the shoe performs.

Whether the customer performs better based on the (sub)conscious influence of the brand on the shoe is a different question entirely. But it's not one that anyone in these comments has provided the faintest whiff of evidence for.

So far, we've had romanticized assertions about emotional impacts nobody has measured.

The real question is whether this advertising process produces any unique benefits vs. a more product information based process. People found motivation and inspiration in things before the rise of modern branding. IMO, the presumption should be that sources of ephemeral emotional inspiration could be replaced without requiring the attention-hijacking form of advertising.
Angular has been known for breaking their syntax/API across major version upgrades and more often than not it leads to a complete rewrite of your app. We took the decision to rewrite and explored React, Vue etc. Even though Vue v2.x was still a new kid on the block, it turned out to have a relatively easier learning curve, bundle size was far lesser than Angular or React and the docs were amazing and was faster in our benchmarks. So we made this decision around 4 years back and quite happy so far.
It's pretty amazing how quick the industry has changed, and the course content has followed along with this. That's a lot of variety of content for 21 lectures. Would love to see a formalized online version of some of this stuff, for even an overview, high-level. Most of the stuff I find is pretty specific for a particular cloud-native environment.
Is it just me? I don't like this design.

What's the point of wrapping an algorithm in strategy, when there is no reuse, nor any need to exchange algorithm?

And more. Why FizzBuzz(15), Buzz(5), Fizz(3); in enum and not in the constructor?

Why "mod" attribute, when the rest of the code doesn't use shortened words? It should be modulo.

Why FizzBuzzOperator when FizzBuzzStrategy's initialization is that easy? Also, again there's no requirement for reusability.

The code here is a classic example of why people make jokes about (usually in J2EE) overengineering solutions where even FizzBuzz will be designed for 1000MD-average-task-size scale.

I have switched to Clojure for good. Our FizzBuzzes are oneliners http://www.learningclojure.com/2014/05/fizz-buzz-interview-q...
is that an indictment of adwords or the state of the browser ecosystem (where potential customers are running ad blockers or otherwise avoiding ads)?
Yes, definitely. There are plenty of applications that benefit enormously from the modern JavaScript stack. I wouldn't dream of attempting something like Trello without React or similar! But I don't think it should be the default for every project without at least some careful thought.
I don't see a direct comparison with Slack anywhere, so maybe you are tacitly conceding that Slack, by far, is the best collab tool

Not always. War was also a career, a way to provide to your (present, future) family by stealing resources from others (pillaging). Rulers often rewarded veterans with lands of the conquered etc.
Ask HN: Have you automated or wish to automate repetitive tasks?
Does part of your job require you to repeatedly do small amounts of work (a repetitive microtask)? Like approving/moderating content, or cleaning data, or answering simple support questions. If so, how do you currently handle these microtasks? If you have automated them or semi-automated them, how did you do it?
oak genus is easy to recognize. The species level can be a nigthmare.
Everyone who is working in a 'hard' business (with inventories, capital equipment, and long supply chains) can see that there are huge problems. Many of us are shocked at how little the politicians and public seem to know about how goods get to their doors. Things don't just appear at retail.
It's pretty obvious they took out the ad because they want to reopen their processing plants.

millions of animals [...] will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities

There will be limited supply [...] until we are able to reopen

will waive the waiting period for short-term disability to allow workers who get sick to immediately be paid

The company told CNN plants are sanitized daily [...] the company performs daily temperature checks

In short, "Let us reopen!" I don't have an opinion on whether they should reopen or not, it just seems pretty clear that's the unspoken message.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "vote inflation," but, IMO, all that graph is showing is that there are more people voting on more things these days. That seems kind of obvious. If you divided those numbers by total number of active users (alternatively, active posters, if total user counts aren't available), then you'd get something that would signal whether there's been "vote inflation" or not, IMO.

NASA's 'worm' logo is back. But why did it disappear?
There's a big unspoken truth with Javascript here. The vast majority of Open Source Javascript is created by developers for no money to solve their own problems and itches. Maybe not the most visible top-level libraries like React, but the thousands of dependencies are there to help the developer with some issue they had at some point. Sure they may have secondary goals, some of them including being time efficient, or memory efficient, or size efficient, etc.

So it seems expected that the agglomeration of tools with varying secondary goals, and a clear primary goal, results into this goal of developer efficiency being potentiated greatly. Forget about writing 5 lines of code, just npm install it.

And that is fine IMHO, people/companies with different goals should be doing things differently. It also seems that turnover is a big issue as well for most companies, so they also try to make dev experience better!
Which I suppose is what you would want to happen if you are forced to slaughter millions of animals and are left with a parishable inventory.

If you're doing your design in the language, you're doing it wrong. (Yes, you have to design something that you can implement in the language. But no, you should not be thinking in the language while you are doing design.)

They may have considered this trade-off. Privacy-minded folk who are unaware of the technicalities will be similarly suspicious of an app whether it is made by the government or a private company. Sure, the centralised/decentralised difference is a major technical difference, but if people aren't aware, or don't understand, or don't care, but are concerned about privacy, they may not install the app regardless if it's made by the government or a private company.

Then the cost (a few less people who would have got the decentralised Apple/Google app, but not a government-made one) might be smaller than the benefit (richer data).

Because it lets them raise prices without incurring public wrath.... By blaming it on 'the supply chain', when meat prices go up, Congress will be the one to take the blame. Instead of the narrative being that Tyson has decided to raise prices and reduce supply, Congress will be blamed for the immaterial 'supply chain' breakdown.

Well, the contents of the padding bits is legally observable (with a memcpy for example) so the compiler can't assume they are unovservable.

Ask HN: A second workspace for Figma users?
Figma has done a lot of good when it comes to multi-user, real-time collaboration between design, engineering, product, and marketing. We use it, regardless of OS preference you can still get the job done. But given this deliberate choice of enhancing real-time collaboration experience, I think the clear tradeoff they make is the design documentation, organization, and asynchronous communication (it's pretty difficult to track/navigate through comments).

I've seen designers throw everything into one master file and others track design tasks with text boxes next to frames. And this is all okay, it gets a bit tedious and challenging to track things when collaborating across other disciplines.

I'm curious to hear from others (designers and product/engineering), is any of this relevant to you? Does it make sense to have a "second workspace for Figma users", where you can keep Figma frames organized by exporting, collaborate on design tasks, copy, etc.?
I'm glad that you are here for now. Thanks for sharing about your experiences with PTSD, and sorry that you have had them.

It's a fair point you cannot choose your produce when buying online as you would from a supermarket crate. But that seems to be getting rarer in physical stores as well.

Where I live, most fruits and vegetables come pre-packaged in fixed weight plastic bags - a kilo of potatoes, etc. You can choose the bag you want but not the individual potatoes.
Global Financial Rescue Plan
GLOBAL FINANCIAL SOLUTION
America and the World,
This message is for the armies of the world particularly as they will be needed to possibly overthrow their governments in order to allow for the formation of The Global Republic. America 2.0 or New America will be forming first through the Convention of States and the others must follow immediately after. New America will help the other nations reformat their governments as needed.

The end result is ten “Americas” based on the original Pre-Progressive Era (pre-1913) U.S. Constitution with Originalist updates. Ten nations that stay out of our lives. The structure of these nations is laid out in The Torii Plans and could change. Not likely.
Once quickly formed, we can have each nation or “America” print money to stabilize their economies and save their people with a structured payment process reflective of the other nations with flexibility to meet each nation’s different needs.
One World Dollar will be established. Quickly.
The printing can continue for three years as the whole global structure will be adjusting.
Bonds will be created by each nation to repay the debt over the next one hundred years.
Each nation will own 10 % of the bonds from the remaining nine nations.
This must remain transparent and understandable to the average citizen.
This will allow for a global financial re-set with a global debt forgiveness plan and One world dollar. Physical currency will always be maintained. Not to mention vaccinations we can trust.
THE TORII PLANS. This name disappears once this begins.
America 2.0 or New America and the Global Republic.
Transparent and free.

Any idea what the additional "guidance" given to patent examiners was?
The US population is generally considered one of the most generous in the world whether you consider the amounts given to charity as a percentage of GDP or time spent volunteering to help others:

>...The United States is often considered the most generous country in the world. Why? Because Americans donate a lot of money. Its people, its foundations and its companies donated roughly $410 billion in 2017 -- or about 2.1% of its own GDP. In fact, the amount Americans donated was more than the entire GDP of all but about 40 countries in the world.

>You could argue that Americans can simply afford to be more generous. And that if people in other countries could give more, they would.

>But what if instead of looking at how much people give, we looked at how many people in a country are giving? And what if we looked at more than money -- and also counted people who volunteer their time and help strangers?

>Gallup does just that -- every year -- in more than 140 countries.

>In our latest survey, the United States isn't at the very top of this list. We find that the most generous countries by these metrics are Indonesia and Australia -- followed closely by the United States and New Zealand.

As long as we are fairly confident about the specificity and sensitivity of the test, then it DOES tell us something, even if those numbers are as low as 85%.

Here's the flaw in your proof - If the test has 85% specificity, then the chance of 200 million positives is essentially 0% (you'd get ~150 million if no one really has the disease). Getting a result of 200 million positive means either you DO have a significant number of true positives (50 million), or your 85% number for specificity was wrong.

This must go viral immediately.
New America:
First. Finish the wall and seal the border. Then send the Canadian and American military South of the border down to Panama to prepare them for proper interface with the North.
Second. Have a Convention of States and dissolve the United States of America. Steps two and three are accomplished simultaneously.
Third. Re-Form the new United States using the original pre-Progressive Era (pre-1913) U.S. Constitution with Originalist updates and should include all previous territories and will span from Panama to Alaska including Japan and the Caribbean Islands, creating America 2.0.
This will be the first formed nation of the new order that will be based upon the pre-progressive era (pre-1913) U.S. Constitution and governmental structure with Originalist updates. It will serve as the template for the rest to follow. If we do not take Central America now, Russia and China will.
Canada is a land mass led by a leftist clown and they have no real military. They should simply join the U.S. at this point. The Great and Little Satan must be destroyed in the eyes of Muslims. America must transform and revert to our original pre-1913 constitution with Originalist updates, Israel must become secular and join the EU which must also adopt our original constitution with Originalist updates. This will allow for Islam to reform and Jerusalem must become the capital of the New Order or what will become known as the Global Republic. If we don't protect and expand what our Founders created, it will shrink and die.
We will have vaccines and treatments we can trust.
Risky? You sound like an agile coach :-)
Is there any good reason to migrate to this from IntelliJ/CLion ? Do people have any experiences with both and can compare?
I can't read that article without an account but the quotes imply that only Apple was standing in the way of the centralized approach. Did Germany have a centralized contact tracing solution through Android?

Of all the western world, the population of the UK seems to me the least concerned about privacy.

We have a strangely inconsistent pattern on this issue. Up to a point, people here seem willing to trust the government and the police and security services, and therefore to tolerate more intrusion than in many places. On the other hand, if you go too far, you get a situation like No2ID, and any hope the government has of introducing anything even vaguely resembling a sufficiently controversial measure dies for a generation (or probably more, since our younger generations are, as in most places, much more tech savvy and aware of these issues).

Given that people here are already somewhat sceptical of the government's handling of the coronavirus situation in general and of the lockdown measures specifically, but for now people are mostly following the guidance anyway, rocking that boat is probably not a wise move politically.
