I think deletion would be counterproductive, but maybe a karma limit after which you no longer accrue any points.

Say it's arbitrarily 1000 points (or whatever makes sense, as long as it's low enough it can be earned after a medium term of active contributing, but high enough very new users will have to learn the ropes of the community in order to reach it). After you reach this, people can tell you're a good contributor, but you can't earn any more points. Anything you do from that point cannot be done solely to earn points, removing that part of the "game".
Weren't these devices utterly broken because the private RSA key was actually refactored? Or is this a different type.

By your own logic, your own UNIX solution to the file renaming problem is "not shell" since it uses the mv "utility". Or do you mean rename is not POSIX? The shell language certainly is lacking for almost anything beyond its original purpose of gluing together pipelines/graphs of UNIX commands; it's a largely unintentional DSL from the time before many modern notions of language ergonomics had become established. The point is, there is an array of solutions to reduce the nuisance of having to deal with the language equivalent of a stone knife such as programs like rename or actual general-purpose scripting languages. Sure, you can cut most things with a stone knife with enough time and effort but why would you if you have a bunch of sharp, metal knives within easy reach?

That sounds like a job for public automated mod logs.

I mean, I think that would be an interesting experiment, as I can't think of a large community that provides such data.

But again, if you the underlying assumption is "the mods are corrupt", then that accusation can easily be transferred to whatever logs are provided as well.
Liability as well. Aircraft used to be cheaper (in real terms). At some point the law changed so that aircraft manufacturers could be sued if someone died in a crash. I don't remember the specifics, but this caused several companies to go out of business and others to raise their prices.

Edit: probably the manufacturer could always be sued, but the change made it easier. I can't remember the specifics.
> the most common spelling still is café

Really? The data say otherwise: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=caf%C3%A9%2Cca...

Do you have another source that supports the popularity of the diacritic variant? Rather, café doesn't increase in popularity until after 2000, and thus would appear to be an affectation of sophistication.
Ok, so in addition to the community getting value out of it, the pub benefitted too, that's just called win-win. Why does the pub have to lose in this situation for you to be ok with the result?
I've been meaning to give RabbitMQ a try in the last few years, but our good old beanstalkd is serving us well. It has all the features we need, and it just works.
>Can you point to the studies which suggest that the ability to write is a strongly selected genetic ability?

You're confusing phenotype and genotype. The genes for the ability to write include the ones for the citric acid cycle, which I think we can all agree is selected for. Nobody knows what mutations would be necessary to stop antinatalism from catching on, but natural selection will probably be able to find them. If the answer was "humans are now too dumb to talk about antinatalism," then that would happen, although something else could happen as well. (Maybe "humans now love kids way more than previous generations thought possible.")

>I just remember. The Cherokee language turned a completely illiterate culture into one with more per capita readers than the recently introduced English culture.

Yeah, so obviously whatever genes give people the ability to write, from the citric acid cycle to the mysterious neurological stuff, are selected for strongly enough to be fixed in a population that was separated for a long time. You're not really disagreeing with me... I'm saying that "writing genes" are selected for, potentially because of benefits unrelated to writing, and you're saying that the behavior of writing isn't selected for. Those two statements do not contradict.
I like the HN aesthetic and wasn't making recommendations for HN per se. I think threaded comments seem to conflict with avatars. There might be a way to have something like avatars that's inherently lightweight, not requiring some people to disable avatars like you can do at some forums. SVG avatars come to mind but would probably be accessible only to a small number of people. Emojis might work but I don't like them.

Incidentally, the non-standard capitalization on your username has drawn my eye before, so your username is more recognizable and memorable as-is. I frequently enjoy your posts.
I've been getting all my retail therapy out at the grocery store.

It's interesting to think about what long term effects this will have on shopping, particularly retail stores long term. This was a good piece on it: https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-coronavirus-bull-market-for-g... This will definitely impact the way people interact/eat in NYC.
Good points. If typescript becomes the standard then for sure we would consider whether we should move our product to typescript
There is a middle ground between presenting one-and-only-one viewpoint or presenting every possible viewpoint with implied equal validity.

For example: Given two commentators, if one is arguing that TV boards and government committees are supposed to be populated by and representative of the general population and the other arguing that TV boards and government committees are populated by crab people secretly supporting the illuminati; the discussion should be about how effectively TV boards and government committees are being filled by the general population and how effective they are at articulating societal consensus related to important issues.

In the "gotta hear both sides" world, rational discussion is dragged off the table by the notion that every issue has two equally valid sides no matter how absurd one "side" might be.

> burning wood or coal

Brick kilns, yes. Heating and cooking, not really. People either use LPG stoves or induction cookers.
Problem is, the latter strategy is rarely used (telemetry is cheaper!), and as far as I can see the consequences, telemetry data is hard to use correctly. In particular, it's prone to become a mirror of your design, creating a feedback loop. Telemetry will show people will use more of the things you've exposed more, and less of the things you've exposed less, so if you take that at face value, then you're just amplifying your own initial design bias.
If you squint really hard, you'll find what appears to be COVID-related trollbot-type activity right here on HN.
> From my personal experiences most high level decisions are made, or at least started from countless hallway/micro-kitchen conversations or informal coffee walks, and meetings are just a way to present to people of decisions that's already made.

I've had a similar experience. WfH does a lot to inhibit those conversations by raising the bar to informal conversation. A mixed environment will tend to mean that informal discussion happens in the office first, and over video link when people remember to ask the others. I've seen this blow up into major tension with as few as three or four people involved.

I think a lot of people are low to mid-level ICs whose career ambitions don't include promotions. No few are quite attached to the freedom, the romance, of being a digital nomad.

Is there evidence that infection dose matters? Last I heard, that was specifically not the case.
Yes, I mentioned those in my initial post. What I'm not sure is quite how intuitive they are. For example, she finds the delay before a click is registered with an increased Hold Duration quite unintuitive.
Yeah, I don't even think it has to be mob, it's just one of those things that happens as a site becomes more mainstream. Ironically it's related to the same issue as the submission: people equate permitting something to condoning it.

Perhaps a potential solution is POW based registration, registration is slow and CPU heavy. I don't think it's likely there is going to be a perfect solution to this and might be that it's better to slow down bad users and make it expensive to ban evade.
I think this serves as a great lesson in statistics being converted into news stories.

Both are true and both are false depending upon if you are looking at the total or the per driver (and perhaps even if you are looking at per driver per minute or per driver per mile).

You might find it interesting to note, that Peter Hintjens, was one of the core authors of the AMQP 0-9-1 Specification [1], that RabbitMQ is implementing.

ZeroMQ was born out of a frustration with complex routing patterns and the need for a broker-less architecture for maximal performance message delivery.

File for unemployment. The federal government is increasing the weekly payment. Additionally, I believe this is not limited to California, unemployment compensation starts from day 1 rather than the second week.

Edit: Also unemployment compensation is being extended to job types which previously weren’t covered, like hairdressers and massage therapists. Having been told to stay home from work for Covid should be sufficient to at least get the federal compensation.
The more systemd free alternatives, the better.
The "MQ" in "ZeroMQ" is misleading, so this is an apples-to-oranges comparison. ZeroMQ is a socket abstraction that allows you to build apps that send messages to each other. RabbitMQ is a reliable message queue broker; a central server that stores messages and that clients connect to in order to push/pop them.
With clustering, you can have more nodes and you can shard (distribute) your queues over the cluster. You don't need to mirror every queue on every node. But you are right, mirroring alone will add more load.

Kurt Tucholsky gave great advice on how to write a letter to a government agency that is applicable to all potentially heated discussions:

* write letter.

* put letter in drawer.

* wait three days. don't look at letter in drawer, write a new letter and send that one.

Yes - everyone's first reaction to the scenario described is "how can I protect this person from themselves?"

If you can simply register another account and start over, how would this help avoid stagnation?
The cargo/rustc output is optimized for the batch operation nature of cli tools, giving as good an output as possible in such an environment. rust-analyzer has the potential of showing even better output (modulo the editors' capabilities, vscode for example doesn't let you write arbitrary html in tooltips) because of the immediacy and allowing people to click on things as they explore solutions. I think that the experience is not quite there, but there's no reason it can't be as good if not better than what we have now in the cli.

Rant: In my ideal world editors would allow me to write a plugin that mimics the current cli output fairly close, with overlays and tooltips fully controlled by the plugin. Imagine clicking on the red squiggles and a pop-up with the cli output, but with syntax highlighting, editable and click to go to line.
No. The only thing ZeroMQ and RabbitMQ have in common are the letters M and Q.

RabbitMQ is a messaging system. ZeroMQ is sockets on steroids.
CPU usage highly depends on the number of connected clients, not that much on message throughput. You can experiment with the excellent rabbitmq-perf-test tool to get some ballpark numbers.

I have a system that only pushes 5k messages per second but it needs 32 cores.
Moderating a medium to large sub is a thankless task.

I moderated a sub with 100,000 subscribers for a couple of years.

Most of the work was removing obviously bad content. There was a user who would make a new account every few weeks, post various comments to make it legit, and then start posting legitimate comments with links to hardcore pornography disguised as normal links. Users once rebelled because I removed 100% illegal content.

Users and mods on the subreddit started to get hit with SLAPP lawsuits at one point. I was always very careful to hide my real identity but that was the final straw. I stepped down from modding shortly after.

Modding is a near impossible task and as a subreddit gets bigger it gets exponentially harder.
> Office centricity is over.

I hope this mindset carries over to other companies who are committing to allow employees to stay home. There's more to remote working than staying at home. The whole culture of the company has to embrace it.

Here's a survey from urbansitter.com: https://blog.urbansitter.com/2019-babysitting-rates/

$20 seems to be above-market everywhere for one kid, and everywhere except SF and NY for two kids. But it wouldn't surprise me if there's finer-grained variation - sitters probably cost more in the richer parts of a metro area than in the poorer parts of the same metro area.
Have you found a correlation between software quality and the amount of data sent via telemetry? Do you have examples of great software that was achieved because of this?
I've been to Chandragiri and I can attest to this. You can almost see the entire Himalayan range on a clear sunny day (including Mt. Everest). They even have powerful binoculars set up for better viewing.
I've long argued that the downvote is terrible for civil discourse, I've had to tread carefully and be warned many times when I comment on it - including writing in-depth constructive criticism and not simply whining.

It's strange to me that especially on a technology forum discussing the negatives or pitfalls of certain mechanisms is being suppressed, censored - just like with politics, as politics is inherently intertwined with everything including non-action.
There will be an equilibrium between these things, and it's not necessarily just “gouging” if delivery services increase prices, given that the actual supply of drivers (as has been reported here before) is strained.

Basically contract delivery services have a premium to begin with, to take the delivery business off your hands. If you have dramatically more orders per day, it can actually make sense to have your own delivery people; especially since your managers have all the time in the world to focus on delivery now that your dine-in is closed or restricted.

To just add on here - voice control AND a stylus might be a nice combo (and another user below also mentioned this). I'm not an expert, been around tech for 30+ years...and I'm always fascinated with how people use it.

I have family that has issues with grip and/or circulation --which causes other issues with capacitive touch. I found a stylus (and a nice collection of inexpensive ones too) goes a LONG way towards helping. In my non-medical opinion, I believe decades of muscle memory holding a pen/pencil helps the elderly navigate. Their hand also doesn't get in the way of their view either.

Voice control is a really amazing addition, but it may be overwhelming to recall some or most of the controls. So I would start small. I found a lot of success working with older adults and tech while just starting with small wins.

Also mind conditioning: start your day asking what the weather is like. That helps get them to feel less "funny" when using it. It becomes more casual and less embarrassing.

"weakling" is right there at the end and the GP is going on about a strawman not mentioned by the OP anyways, as several of the child comments point out.
This isn't "out-of-fasion prejudice". This is a bug not being fixed for over a decade, which is clear evidence that it's not being adequately maintained. I've got nothing against qmail in principle, but it clearly hasn't received the attention it needs.
> Nextdoor's whole model is built around fear-mongering.

this is a very strong claim. I certainly see a fair amount of cringy pear-clutching or downright racist posts, but I see a lot more posts that are pictures of cats asking if anyone is missing it. also some women and poc warning others about an individual that actually harassed them. is it possible the the posts are you seeing reflect your community more than the platform?
That's why everyone need to learn to separate fact and opinions. Ignore the conclusions, instead look at the data. Critical thinking skills are in short supply.

The news is pretty bad in that it's mostly opinions pretending to be facts/information, with occasional data sprinkled in to support their conclusions.
We use it in a fairly big scale for our slack bot system. It was just set up once, as akyu said, and since then it just works. Whenever we had troubles, it was always anything other than RabbitMQ.

I've also looked into other solutions (ActiveMQ, Google PubSub, ...) and RabbitMQ is by far the most straight-forward and quick to set up. There are some edge cases that it doesn't cover as well, for example automatic retries, but there are some "RabbitMQ patterns" to make it work. For a simple message broker/queue system, it's great and the docs are also great.
I said nothing about rust, and the alternative I proposed (postfix) is written in C.
That sounds great. I remeber when I started, it was very difficult, I don't think I would be able to start without nix-pills articles.

Nix needs more tutorials, especially in areas that could showcase it (which you planning to do).

Nix is often referred as a package manager, but I believe that characterization does a bit of disservice to it, because it can do much more than that. IMO the areas where it excels the most for me is the build system. Ability to have a language define the exact environment that developer has is IMO awesome.
More entrepreneurial Redditors can use karma to signal that they know how to get posts to the front page of Reddit. Marketing companies might hire them to do promotions.

At least this is how it was years ago. Maybe marketing companies have this all automated anyway already and don't need people like that anymore.
Another factor could be the delay between drives; For myself, going from commuting daily to driving once or twice a week, it feels weird and I’m on more alert than usual when driving. As if I have to relearn the car is an extension of myself (in a spacial sense)

So perhaps people are essentially less used to driving, and therefore, more prone to error or less comfortable (which may increase anxiety, or hesitation for in the moment decisions)
What state do you think does? High-regulation states like MA and CA don't, and it would very much surprise me if others did. (I'm also not a lawyer.)
From experience on Upwork, that platform is a big dumpster fire that should be avoided at all costs. Any task will immediately get spammed with lowball offers by monkeys which means it's impossible to actually earn realistic prices. The clients are non-technical for the most part so they will not see the red flags and will go with the lowball offers anyway, with predictable results. The rating system has been gamed to death so everyone is 5 stars regardless of their actual skills. Submitting proposals properly takes a lot of time and isn't worth it when you know the client is more likely to go with the lowest bidder. You're better off getting a low-wage job in a supermarket or sandwich shop.
