I've been making this point for a while on hackernews, but never so eloquently. Very well put.

Some part of the heterodox ideas of today will invariably be Orthodox in the future. A small fraction of them, mind you, but you impede progress if you enforce the orthodoxy. That's what the church used to do when it had sufficient power.

I noticed that one of the videos removed by YouTube is medcram #71. Which discusses, logically and with citations, treatment results using zinc and hydroxychloroquinine. Surely because the media are quick to paint it as Trump's widely discredited treatment that he was pushing. However, if you dig into the actual studies, they don't support that conclusion, in my opinion. The media jumped on one Veterans study where the treatment was given too late in the disease to make a difference. They never reevaluated their conclusion when other studies contradicted that result, possibly because they badly want Trump to be wrong. So here is one heterodox idea being suppressed potentially to the detriment of all mankind, in our hour of need. Even if you ascribe a very small probability that I'm right on this, you have to admit censorship could be doing us a great harm.

My prediction is this gets down voted to hell because the hn voting system itself not only is a way of suppressing heterodox ideas by moving them down the page and greying them out, but it leans left as well, and I had the gall to defend a thing Trump said. I can't stand Trump for the record, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

> Disregarding over all the negatives of centralizing podcast discovery in one place, I would love to pay one fee and get 0 ads on all the episodes. Where the money is then distributed to the podcast hosts I listen to the most (like Spotify does already with music).

This is one aspect of ad-free monetization that I'm not really comfortable with. I value my content for reasons other than "how much of my time they take" - in fact, for a given amount of information, the podcast is more valuable the shorter it is.

I really just want a model where I pay some dollar figure in exchange for each episode or set of episodes (or album or discography for music, etc.) - high-value podcasts are free to set higher fees, and I'll pay more for them.

Basically I want podcasts on Bandcamp, I guess.
Let's go to specifics. Alex Jones is facing a civil suit alleging that he defamed the families of Sandy Hook victims, the harm from which include harassment and death threats from Jones' followers [0]. When you say that Maddow's coverage of Russiagate is "literally" the same: what actual harm – both in layperson's terms and legally actionable – do you see as a consequence? Defamation? Who would be the aggrieved and threatened party? Trump, personally? The U.S. law affords a much higher legal burden for the president of the U.S. (or anyone as public and powerful) to prove defamation.

And using an inner scrolling area for the content instead of the document scrolling area is very problematic for keyboard users, unless you focus the true scrollable pane on load, and ensure that any time the body becomes the active element, you change it back to the scrollable pane. This is fiddly to get right, and requires JavaScript; I should finish the blog post I started writing on the topic. I made sure we got it as right as possible for Fastmail’s webmail, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered any other site using an inner scrolling area even trying to get it right.

As it is, keyboard users will have to press Tab seven times before the keyboard navigation keys (arrows, Space, Shift+Space, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End) work.

For this reason, I strongly recommend that websites (as distinct from web apps) avoid placing article content within a new scrolling area. Use the document scroll area.

Just because you can apply a rule with one set of nouns and achieve an unjust outcome doesn't mean the rule is bad.

There's no daylight between "we can't restrict shitty speech because one day we might restrict non-shitty speech" and "we can't have laws against bad things because one day we might have laws against non-bad things". It's an obviously stupid argument and it's not any less stupid because the operating verb is speech.

They are mostly JITs or have specific purposes (like stackless python).

JITs like pypy have a raw performance advantage. But implementation is more complex, and there is startup time overhead. Also I have heard CPython reference implementation prefers clarity of code over optimizations.

As for game scripting, Lua is most used one.

> But they are breaking a norm

Media companies selectively choosing what to publish has been the norm since forever.

My local paper won't publish libellous comments I may write against a particular person whom I hold grudge against. And my local TV station wouldn't show a pornographic commercial that I thought would be hilarious to see.

Private media companies ultimately answer to their advertisers and most of them simply don't want to be associated with inflammatory or socially unacceptable content.

For everyday user computing tasks, it’s not that Moore’s law is dead so much as just irrelevant. We’ve hit the point of diminishing returns on CPUs getting faster.

Many users have flipped to prioritize power efficiency and quiet operation over speed. And even despite those optimizations, most of their tasks are still bottlenecked as often by their available memory and the quality of their network connection as as their processor.

We just haven’t figured out what to do with all that power in the hands of a user who isn’t super technical, so we’re just spending it on inefficient cruft instead.
Being a software engineer you can readily switch industries but still have deep knowledge in developing software. Practicing breaking down problems in different domains will train you up in a more dynamic and flexible style of thinking (perhaps at the expense of deep expertise in a given area?)

>Nevertheless, many older applications need to be modernized, for example, to create a modern web or GUI interface instead of the ubiquitous green screen interface common for older mainframe applications.

Why do they "need" this? What's wrong with a TUI? Must every single piece of software have a "modern web" interface?

If the option is between a TUI that's instant, and a React/Vue/whatever app that takes 15 seconds to load and breaks the back button... maybe the TUI ain't so bad?

>Here, for example, is some photographic footage of a Canada goose successfully attacking a medium-sized teenage boy

I think people wildly overestimate how much damage a bird can do to a human. In the example you've given, it looks like the only reason he was "losing" was because he wasn't willing to attack the bird in retaliation, presumably because nobody wants to be the guy caught on camera beating up wildlife. [cost of getting "attacked" by a bird and being temporarily embarrassed] < [cost of being seen beating up a bird]

If push comes to shove, I'd imagine these birds can be effectively fended off by simply kicking them. The risk of injury should be low because their mouths aren't big enough to bite human legs, and if you're wearing pants you have complete protection from scratches/bites.

I'm a casual watcher of his show (maybe 1 show every few weeks). Spotify has made no investment into their platform to support podcasts. No notification system for new episodes, no already listened to tracking, no subscriptions or an area where i can find all my podcasts.

I like the idea of having my music and podcasts all in one place which working across all my devices (Linux, iOS, Windows) and i gave up on them. Spotify may be ubiquitous but they're not engineered for podcasts.

> The biggest problem is that there are invariably 5 different packages for anything you want to install, with no reliable way of deciding which is the real/main one.

> Another problem is packages constantly breaking. This can happen because packages actually pull files from remote, primary sources, and those files disappear or the site goes down, but also for a myriad of other reasons.

How are these different on Scoop? The first one seems to only be related to the actual amount of packages. E.g. if Scoop ever grows to the same size, it will get it too.

The second one is also unclear. Does Scoop test all the packages it provides? Somehow I think it is unlikely.

That's actually the first time I heard the idea that the government should create its own content hosting platform and it may be a necessary solution tbh but I also still like the idea of forcing everyone to host all content but you can put it behind filters. The situation right now can maybe be compared to entire towns being company towns. It's not that surprising that there is anger when the company makes some rule for your life and you cant escape that rule because the entire town is owned by the same company.

India seems to get away with it - with UPI sending around Rs 1 (~ 1.5c) for 'verification' etc. is routine, and as with any UPI transaction it's all free.

The only thing lacking with UPI is proper integration with merchants; large retailers rely on weird locked in services like PhonePe etc. for integration with their billing systems, but the rest seem to use a QR code and manual verification of payment.

The fact that there is apparently such strong disagreement (most of which probably is from people who believe that it is appropriate to use the strong market share of these platforms to mold political discourse) is a bit alarming. No way that ends well.
Yup, we also had alerts for our k8s nodes not getting ready (calico images). We moved to Docker Hub, but experienced timeouts there a few times. I guess they got a sudden spike in traffic.

Yup. Use the right tool for the job. Python's performance is definitely something that the implementers of Python should worry about, but as a user, you have choices and you should exercise them. If your problem requires relatively high performance: Java, Go and Rust are all good alternatives. If absolute pedal-to-the-metal, no compromises, performance is needed: C, C++ are your choices. Heck, you can even inline assembly in some cases.

Thinking about ... basically, hacking and biology ... I wonder what the real truth is.

On one hand, I got a completely DIFFERENT view of medicine when I read the book "King of Hearts: The True Story of the Maverick Who Pioneered Open Heart Surgery"

The original open-heart surgeries required two people - they would stitch their circulatory systems together! One would breathe and pump the blood for both of them, while the other had his heart taken out of the loop for the time of the operation.

On the other hand, I think about the Chinese labs, experimenting on bats and the spread of covid-19.

Open heart surgery is now a thing. So is covid-19. what is the reality?
I'm surprised that so many in the comments don't seem to be making the connection with Sharepoint lists. I need to look deeper at this, but I think this is more like Sharepoint lists on steroids.

> I've pointed out before that the enthusiasm for micropayments is from people who want to collect them, not those who want to pay them.

Consider me one of the mythical latter people. I really really really want to support quality journalism, but I don't spend enough time on any one news site to justify a monthly subscription (most of which are fairly expensive). I would be totally fine spending sub-$1 per article read, though, if that were an option.

I understand why it is not an option, but that's not really the point. If it were, I'd do it. Hell, I'd pay 50c per article just to avoid the annoyance of finding a paywall workaround.

John Milton in Areopagitica[1]:

> Bad meats will scarce breed good nourishment in the healthiest concoction; but herein the difference is of bad books, that they to a discreet and judicious Reader serve in many respects to discover, to confute, to forewarn, and to illustrate.

Thomas Paine's introduction to The Age of Reason[2]:

> You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.

Chapter 2 of Mill's On Liberty[3]:

> But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

None of these argue from the rights of the speaker or writer. They're focused on the ideas and the reader. They point out that even bad ideas have good uses. These are the arguments that moved us away from a censorious society.

Geese can be nasty. There's a famous story in Livy about how they helped defend the Capitoline fortress in Rome from besieging Gauls who had defeated the Romans on the Allia around 390 BC. [1] It made an impression on the Romans at least, who were not easily impressed but also enjoyed a good yarn.
