Oh for sure, for some people that's definitely true. And honestly, the community itself self-selects for people for who that's true as well, since most reasonable people realize that being a moderator is actually kind of terrible in reality. So the people who last the longest tend to be the people who aren't just in it out of altruism (users work hard to drive that motive into the ground).

But at the end of the day, you need moderators. And the job sucks and is unpaid, so you can't exactly select only the "perfect" candidates.
hey, thanks for the feedback! Yeah I guess the red is quite something... the vivid colors are memorable though, don't you think? ;)
One line of code that replaces all data privacy regulation
How does she get on with Siri and voice dictation?
While this is obvious joke, I think there is speckle of a idea there too. For example string literals and comments could easily be distinguished only by formatting in the editor and do away with delimiters and especially escaping. Or it could allow more natural formatting of snake-case identifiers by having single continuous underline for the identifier.

I know rich text for code is not widely accepted concept, but I think there is potential there and not just for laughs.
Lots of companies do keep their arbitrage tools secret.

There is a much greater efficiency in operating a SaaS over a full-fledged business, since the SaaS has almost 0 marginal costs, so every additional $39/mo requires nearly no work.

In contrast, generating $39 in profits through arbitrage requires at least some work and has risk. If you buy a product and sell it to a person who gets a refund, then you lost money.
Out-of-Sync ‘Loners’ May Secretly Protect Orderly Swarms
Probably because the .NET SDK is a separate program, and winget is being slipped into a default component app of Windows 10.

I am irritated about Windows 10's telemetry policy, but it makes sense for component applications to obey the system telemetry configuration rather than each one having their own settings.
I dual boot to Ubuntu 20.04 and I also use WSL in Windows10.

WSL is Linux, but without X Window or gnome. Very convenient for command line stuff because the native Windows Command line is awkward and unfamiliar to use.

Some things work better in Linux, some things work better in Windows. To pretend otherwise is being a fanatic, in my opinion.
I started on Reddit about a decade ago also.

Early reddit was a lot more like current HN. You're right you'd see more pro Ron Paul and libertarian stuff. Then the site went mainstream.

Users on the internet are more liberal than the general pop. Add that to the fact that Reddit up/downvote system does a terrible job of allowing unpopular/controversial views to reach the top.

Those same Ron Paul fans are all in r/conservative or r/The_donald, or other conservative subs now. There are way more now than there ever were.

You don't really need a conspiracy theory when the very nature of the site and the internet explain what happened really effectively.
I say this with sincere belief. I hope Jony Ive’s departure from Apple results in better changes to the interface elements and interactions. While the skeuomorphic design of iOS 6 and before looked over the top in comparison to the flat designs we see now, I believe Scott Forstall had something good going on with iOS interfaces (not talking about Maps and what happened with that). Things got worse after he was fired and Jony Ive took over the UI/UX part too.
Ideation, graphic design with innovation, and engineering are the ones I do.

Completely agree.

And while there are advantages to those positions being "anonymous" the impact of an eventual doxxing is heightened by it.

Maybe an initial greater transparency would have been better in the long run. Or something like rotation of positions, etc.
Programming in Scratch or Access or whatever is an absolutely painful experience. That's why.

I think the competition is nuts too, when I've been on the other side(hiring) it's overwhelming how many people you get to respond/hard to tell if the person is competent/trustworthy(with regard to allowing access to your tech to work on it).

I think the best part it is that we're stopping to think about our behavior in general.

So much of what we do is inertial, normalized insanity that bears some introspection.

For example, it's interesting to hear so many people talk about how they miss shopping. I'm the same way, and it made me think ... wait a minute, I've saved more money in the past two months than I have in years, I don't feel like I'm missing any tangible goods ... maybe rampant consumerism is, in aggregate, bad for me?

Same with dining out, which I did with incredible frequency.

All of this makes me think not just about my behavior, but the massive drivers behind making us all want to spend money on things we don't need in the pursuit of manufactured pleasure.

A lack of feedback from everyday users is not a reasonable justification for the carte-blanche exfiltration of data from those 'reticent' users.

There are dozens of ways to get feedback from users, but most of them require the company to pay for them. Companies are as bad as your average Joe in this fashion; why pay when they can simply pretend that privacy and data protection laws don't exist and just take?

I said it elsewhere in this topic: My purchase of your software does not give you the right to exfiltrate data from my system. You're welcome to ask for it, or to pay for it, but in no way is it yours to just take.

Do not just take the data otherwise you end up with a set of poorly selected metrics which do not represent user opinion and a lot of pissed off customers who don't want to or can't tell you due to legislation and data protection.

And likewise simply listening to a vocal minority via "ask and listen" is not a silver bullet.

So, you're both right, you need both to make informed decisions.

Hey guys, I've been trying to find out The average of time people spend on a single vídeo on YouTube. Some articles say people usually watch 50% of the video and stop. And vídeos longer than 5 minutes have less chance to be watched. Is that your case?

> It wasn't GCHQ, it was UK ISPs

With UK laws it's close enough.
You are correct. It's annoyance with data harvesting and idealism around "I have the right to remain uncounted". I support much of that in theory, but not to the absolute extreme that is popular in some communities.

Unfortunately, it's often also combined with "I have the right to have my opinion counted", which leads to some very ironic moments where people opt out of telemetry and then complain that their uncountable needs aren't counted.
Reddit just hasn't scaled well, and it looks like the operators of Reddit have no interest in scaling it properly.

Case in point: the moderation system. Now, if you're passionate about some niche topic, and create a sub for it and become the moderator, then fine; you rock. Things work well for you and your subscribers.

But if you're a sub of a large interest area (say, the country of India). How do you moderate there? How do you accept the diversity of thoughts and opinions, many of which run contrary to your own, but are perfectly valid in a diverse society?

Currently, /r/india has a bunch of moderators with a severe political stance (I won't go into specifics here, but I've been banned from it several times). They will warn you and ultimately ban you if you don't toe their "moderation" line. So on the one hand you have the "in" group of people threatening violence and harassing people; and on the other, you have the complement set of people getting banned for using words like "naive" (happened to me). There current moderation system (whoever started the reddit, and whoever they blessed, get to be moderators; sortof like a monarchy and a feudal system) is horribly out of date in today's world.

Here's how I would fix it: every year, have an election of moderators. People get votes proportional to their karma (or upvotes or some function thereof, which could heavily penalize bad posting behavior) earned since the last election. And the top N vote getters get to be moderators for a year.
I don't know what kind of art you guys grew up with, but when I was a kid all the art I was exposed to (in cartoons and textbooks and whatnot) used saturated colors and was shaded.

That's not strictly true about Busybox. You just need to recompile it to change what's included. You can absolutely enable/disable individual tools in the menuconfig.
I think we agree.

As a wrote in another comment, where visual programming shines in my opinion is as a way to interact with an underlying complex system. An alternative to scripting languages.

To take the Max example further. Ableton Live integrated it deeply into their digital audio workstation. Although Ableton itself, not even talking about all the third party plugins, provides enough tools to make music with for a life time, having Max integrated opened up a whole new world of exploration beyond what the UIs created by the host and plugin vendors offer and it allowed non technical people to create and share their own extensions to a software.

I think even for trained programmers there is maybe more potential for visual programming. Maybe not for the core software we are writing, but to at the same time interact with and visualize the software and the ecosystem. I sometimes feel we are a bit stuck to have to either use cli and textual tools or graphical tools with limited and vendor specific UI.

I don't know how this would look like, since I'm a person that almost always defaults to cli and textual tools, because I know I can get the job done with them. But having used visual programming quite a bit outside of work, I'm intrigued to give it more attention to.
They do have jobsite saws, the ones I have seen look like our mobile contractor saws (Delta, etc)

I have never used reddit, and just know that "karma" is a type of points system like here on HN. Could you explain why you personally are interested in accumulating karma by "karmawhoring"?

I ignore the points system in HN too, but I think it's main function is to ban bad actors. So I don't understand on the other hand why someone would accumulate points unless they mean to later spend them on "bad actions".
Rabbit saved my life. I had a project that involved getting the AMQP Proton library working on the Xbox. Rabbit was so easy to setup and use, it gave me a reliable way to test my work. Getting into AMQP at the time was confusing and poorly documented. Rabbit did imdeed "just work".

A few do.

- There are three Allen Institutes (Brain Science, Cell Science, and AI), funded by Microsoft's Paul Allen in Seattle.

- The Howard Hughes Memorial Institute funds a bunch of research at its Janelia Farms Campus, plus provides lavish support investigators at universities.

- Eli and Ethyl Broad put up about $700M to endow the Broad Institute at Harvard/MIT.

- The Michael J Fox foundation funds a lot of Parkinson's Disease research.
> Why do you free work for a for-profit social network

They don't. They do the work for a community they're part of. The social network hosts that community, and tries to make a profit doing so.

While I am sure that occurs, I have been personally banned from several subreddits not for rules violations, or violence comments, but because the moderator simply disagreed with my comment or I was harsh in my commentary against the product the subreddit was about, for example a certain web browser subreddit banned me because I talked badly about a policy of that web browser

> A stranger saying, "you're a piece of shit," is not fucking traumatic to anyone but an immature child or a weakling.

Think more everything from graphic descriptions of rape to child porn. Reddit generally lets comments of the "piece of shit" nature stand.
This would work for a different definition of “remote-first”.

In the definition I believe makes sense there is just one defining trait, and the author manages to tiptoe around it.

It’s unclear whether the changes promised are cosmetic (to convince remote workers they aren’t disadvantaged) or fundamental (actually making remote staff equivalent or even prioritized first before on-location staff).
Why bitching people pollute so more than before? They entirely forget the whole point, for what? appear more clever, smarter. We all know the good and the bad of these times. Please focus on the good and if you can ignore the bad.
This is an important point! Dribbble shots are usually not from actual products, so you can't use them as evidence for a real world trend.

Another point is that you should not generalize about the design of a product based on marketing pages. Often, the design for these pages is contracted out to studios who don't touch the rest of the product. How often do the products look and feel like the home page? Almost never.

Maybe this is a trivial point, but what I mean is: he shouldn't state this as if it were a product design trend, when (if it is a trend at all) it's a marketing trend.
I'm wholly in favor of an equitable exchange between consenting parties. Thumbs up from me.
> I think I’m supposed to write a custom Nix derivation for ZSH that includes any and all customizations.

Nix supports lots of approaches, with a varying degree of "buy in". I wouldn't say you're "supposed" to do one thing or another, although some things would definitely be non-Pareto-optimal (i.e. you could achieve all the same benefits with fewer downsides).

In the case of .zprofile, I would consider any of the following to be reasonable:

- A normal config file sitting on your machine, edited as needed, not version controlled.

- A symlink to a git repo of configs/dotfiles (this is what I do)

- Directly version-controlling your home dir in some way

- Writing the config content as a string in a Nix file, and having Nix put it in place upon rebuild (I do this with files in /etc)

- Having a Nix 'activation script' which copies/symlinks config files into place (this is what I do, to automate symlinking things to my dotfiles repo)

- Wrapping/overriding the package such that it always loads the desired config (e.g. by replacing the binary with a wrapper which prepends a "use this config" flag).

--

The following has nothing to do with your question, but I felt like ranting about a tangentially-related topic; it's not directed at you ;)

I often see "extremism" when Nix is brought up; e.g. if someone wants help managing non-Python dependencies of their Python app, and someone recommends trying Nix, it's often dismissed along the lines of "I don't have time to throw away my whole setup and start over with the Nix way of doing things, even if were better". The thing is, using Nix can actually be as simple as:

(import <nixpkgs> {}).runCommand "my-app" {} ''
Put any arbitrary bash commands here
''

I often treat Nix like "Make, but with snapshots". Nix 2.0 turned on 'sandboxing' by default, but if you turn that off you can do what you like: add '/usr/bin' to the PATH, 'wget' some arbitrary binaries into '/var', etc. You won't get the benefits of deterministic builds, rollbacks, concurrent versions, etc. but those don't matter if the prior method didn't have them either. Projects like Nixpkgs, and the experimental things people write about on their blogs, aren't the only way to do things; you don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If I may tack on one other observation, it's the sad attempts by companies to try to profit from the pandemic while looking altruistic:

It's a weird statement on where modern startup/retail is.
Watching the kids of a single family is being a nanny, not a daycare, and at least in the US doesn't require a license or certification.
Standard or not I wouldn't take any "research" that doesn't actually provide data seriously.
I think you're underselling the other side of the problem. The guy had real, significant power, overseeing many of the largest discussion forums on one of the most popular websites in the country. It's unreasonable to expect anonymity when you wield that much power to control the national discourse.
