Github's a work tool, not somewhere you go to have fun.

This is a weird article because its main point is about the 'Trending page', which is something I've never heard of in the last 10 years of using github heavily.

I'm vaguely aware there are some social features of github (you can apparently star repos, for instance) but I'd assume hardly anyone uses that stuff...
20 years ago, and even 40 years ago, it was also true that urban communities arguably[1] had more in common with each other than with their surrounding rural communities.

(the future was there, it just wasn't evenly distributed yet)

[1] Jane Jacob's "The Economy of Cities" argues that cities resembling each other has been true for at least 5'000 years.
This so much. Another pet peeve of mine: GitHub is terrible for the workflow that Git was originally designed for. Specifically, the issue that there's no good way to review patch series. The key here is presenting a series of patches as a whole, but allowing reviews on individual commits of the series.
The submitted title was "Show HN: Hey by Basecamp". I probably should have mentioned taking "Show HN" out.
I think it's a matter of time as both are owned by MS. Long term the middle management and profits simply prevail in large corporate decision chains.

It just make sense for them to integrate GitHub with LinkedIn somehow.
Zero Hedge was easily a MONTH ahead of the mainstream on the covid-19 crisis.

...and they even today are ahead of the game on the looming USD crisis.

...but you need a good BS filter because there's a lot of nonsense, lies, and speculation on it.

So maybe it needs an opt-in warning window on the front.

...and the comments are worthless - no one reads them.
The model you like also vanished because of Apple: first, they sold their own apps like Keynote for <$10, creating a really low price anchor, second – they don't support free trials, creating pressure for free versions of apps, and third and most importantly they don't support upgrade pricing, which pushes everyone to subscription pricing.
The original Rust compiler was written in OCaml, and OCaml was one of the chief design inspirations for the language. The similarities between Rust and ML-like languages is no coincidence.

I also feel like the project recommendations on Github have become really... stale.

At some point, the sidebar would display a new set of projects almost every time you hit refresh. Now, there hardly seems to be any rotation at all; I've been seeing the same projects for weeks. Somebody should check if the cron job for updating the list has crashed :)
Not the grandparent, but I've been doing the same (almost only for a couple of years) and yes I trust site-enforced HTTPS.

Ask HN: Is “open the kimono” a racist term?
We had a team meeting today, business as usual.

5 guys on the call, all white men.

Sales guy referred to one of our partners Indian team member and then says "and his cousin Abdul", when referring to the new guy on their team. They're not cousins, there were audible groans.

That was racist. It's racism I see very often in Australia.

Then next he started talking about the client, and then he used the term "open the kimono". Groans again. Now I'd only heard this term except from a Slack message I saw our CTO post a few years prior. I thought it was an odd choice of phrasing, but now after looking it up I learned it was used mostly in finance.

Is that racist?
For Covid-19 - they were covering it a MONTH before everyone else.

They are routinely FAR ahead of the curve.

No one reads the comments - they are collapsed by default.
Quote: "After a lot of reflection, I believe the turning point was when they changed how the ranking system on the Trending page worked."

The turning point was the second it was sold to Microsoft. People fail to realize GitHub is Microsoft now and Microsoft is a corporation. And what corporations do best? Earn money for their shareholders. Everything else is just dust in eyes.
>>very well guarded and fenced AppStore IS a great feature for consumers.

it is always amusing when people attempt to paint anti-consumer features as pro consumer...

>>As a father I'd

Really, you are going for "think of the children" defense of anti-consumer policy. Classic

For decades electronics have had all manner of Child protection features, it is trivial to prevent the installation of apps, or even other apps stores from unapproved users, and a child should not have the authority to install any apps, form the Apple store or not

In enterprise system administration we have been doing this on computers for decades preventing unauthorized applications or users from installing things

That is a solved problem and in no way is a locked down controlled by apple ecosystem required to archive parental controls on the device

Edit:

>There is a huge market of consumers who value their own protection and the protection of their families A LOT more than IAP margins for developers

I am sure they do, I am sure they do not care about the devs at all, that is clear from your position.

If the consumer cares about this soo much then it should not be a problem for them to bear the cost of this not the devs, if the value of the Apple store is the Security and Privacy of the store then the consumer not the dev should pay for that. A 30% fee added to the price of the app charged to the CUSTOMER then should be the fair payment method, not extorting 30% of revenue from the dev

I have a feeling that both you and apple know that most consumers would not put the value of that service at 30% though this is why they extort the devs not the customer
Huh, thanks for noticing ("Spoken Language" filter) and letting us know. That's great.
Reading the paper, I couldn't help to ask the same question over and over again: isn't this just another form of automated pentesting?
Seems like the openness of software is orthogonal to trust. Would you no longer trust an app only because its license became Open?

Closed source seems to require more trust to me.

I think trust is very difficult to manage and do some checking of owners of PPAs before using them -- containerisation can help, but doesn't prevent information gathering and other trust-breaking activities (backdoors, etc.).
4× prices is still well within the same order of magnitude. I'd say that's reasonable, especially since you get better performance and reliability out of the deal.

And that does require 3.5" drives (once you go to 2.5" that 4× gap shrinks to 2.7× for 5400RPM or 2.1× for 7200RPM+ when going by pure price/GB; per PCPartPicker, a 2TB 5400RPM Toshiba MQ04ABD200 is at 3.5¢/GB and a 7200RPM 1TB Seagate Constellation.2 is at 4.6¢/GB, while a Crucial BX500 is at 9.5¢/GB, all three of these being the cheapest per GB in their respective groups).

And I know the inevitable response to that is 'well real data hoarders are fine with 3.5" drives and/or 5400RPM', but "real" data hoarders also might appreciate being able to saturate their gigabit Internet connections with the data they're hoarding, or being able to hoard that data more compactly and quietly (I can cram 16 2.5-inchers in a 2U SuperChassis and still have room for a 5.25" drive, or 24 without) and without having to worry nearly as much about vibration or heat killing the drives (and thus the data on 'em).

----

Speaking of a 5.25" drive, if price/GB is really all-important, it seems like tape would be the ideal option, no? A bit high of an upfront cost (an HP EH957A LTO Ultrium 5 tape drive runs for $801.15 on Newegg, though there are some much cheaper used LTO 5s on eBay), but at $18 per 1.5TB cartridge (going with the IBM one) it's hard to beat that 1.2¢/GB. As soon as you cross the 176TB mark (if not earlier; my napkin math is equating 9TB of tapes to a shucked drive), tapes would be cheaper per GB even factoring in that brand-new drive (for retail Reds, the crossover point would be 64TB).

They say tape's dead, but it looks like it's still got an edge there, even with older tech. A tiered SSD + LTO 5 approach seems like it'd be the best of both worlds (at least until SSDs finally get around to closing the gap), and I'm kinda tempted to spring for one in my next home build, even if it'd be highly impractical for my needs (I can at least leave a slot open for one).

You could also go with newer tech for even better absolute capacity and performance (but the cost of drives hampers the economics of it a bit, unfortunately; by my math, $3952.52 for the cheapest LTO 7 drive on Newegg + $61.30 per 6TB cartridge would push that crossover point to 264TB v. retail Reds or 504TB v. shucked - that'd be a lot of data to hoard for LTO 7 to be worth it unless you can find a screamin' deal on a drive on eBay, though I wouldn't wanna shuck 63 drives, either, lol). Going the other direction, LTO 2 has lower up-front costs, but the media kills any economic benefit (worse price/GB than hard drives). LTO 5 seems like the sweet spot there, for now at least.

Of course, this is going a fair bit beyond "consumer grade", but I do know of quite a few serious data hoarders who've stuck with tape for this exact reason.
GOMODULE111, who needs it? :)
To be honest, a few years ago I used the trending page to discover useful web tools.
Du to my lack of experience the trending page offered a glimpse of what people were working on/with (I used to read the code to learn new techniques) but now I old go there to check on my open source project and answer issues.
So I can get the author saying it's not fun anymore, however I find hacker news the new fun place to go to learn and enjoy my time.
There are a couple of major difference in the coverage that still puts ZH way ahead.

1. The NUMBER of articles they ran on covid - was 100x any other MSM provider in Jan.

2. The depth of the articles, including first-hand reports from China.

3. They weren't buried in some BBC->Asia->China subsection of the website like in your examples. They were FRONT PAGE.
Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 690: 5G and A77 in the Mid-Range
For a little bit of additional discovery and trending, there is also https://git.news/ , though it tends to be a bit same-y.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/open-kimono.asp

Apparently it is considered at least a little racist. I don't know why, though - is "loose your tie" (not sure if English has similar phrase; said to an angry person) racist? Would "show your cards" be racist?

Show HN: Remote jobs for experts that just want to keep an eye on the market
It's a 'public alpha'. Personally I won't be signing up until it's describing itself as stable.
Not OP, but I share the desire for convenience.

This convenience is only available to me because there is a large customer base which companies can't access any other way.

They have varying reasons for wanting an iphone, each of which alone would not (I think) form a big enough pool to persuade companies to listen. Or the privacy conscious are tempted to make an exception when (like OP) they badly need something to work right now... or just don't have time to vet every company... and divided we fall.

And I'm happy to pay for this. I probably spent double what I would have paid for an android phone. I have not spent close to that much again on apps. But the difference between $5 and $10 inside the app store is (for me) much smaller than the hurdle of having to go to some other dodgy payment gateway & give them my card.
That's exactly the point. If you have a good BS filter, you can filter out the Alarmist nonsense from things that might actually have merit.

...and that's exactly why I go to ZH daily.
Quote: "There is plenty of evidence that suggests rustc is slow relative to compilers for other languages; Go can compile applications with similar complexity in 1/5 the time, and clang or gcc can do the same for applications written in C"

Wait until the author tries Delphi. Then will realize compile times for Go or C are slower then a snail
I wonder if it'll be a obscurely named toggle hidden away in a settings sub page somewhere just so they can say they've offered the option.

Unlikely of course but it would be nice if they were turned off by default and they offered users the option to turn them on with a disclaimer about how inaccurate and shady many of them are.
After living for many years in another country and being called an "immigrant", while hearing other foreigners being called "expats" I realized that people just create a mental rule for what each word means: coming from a rich country = expat, coming from a poor country = immigrant.

So an American permanently living in the UK will be considered an expat. A polish will be called an immigrant. Despite the actual definition of the word, "immigrant" has a negative nuance artificially attached to it so people use it to this effect.

In Europe I noticed that skin color makes less of a difference than "source country". Many British people will still treat African-American individuals as expats, and an Albanian as an immigrant, once they find out where they came from.

It is pretty normal that you hold onto traditions of your original country as an expat, you can observe this everywhere in every culture. Sometimes that loyalty goes far beyond that of people still in their home countries.

That said, someone has to be the majority and I think minorities in general have no problem with it. It isn't necessarily a "privilege" or a problem. If it is too hard on you, perhaps relocation is a better option. Most people just don't give it a thought after a while and no society can adapt to every whim, it is on minorities to adapt to the present culture.
The same phenomenon is easily observed in modern-day Romania. There's a clear inverse correlation between the wealth of a region and the deforestation in that area.

Also notice that the price of wood is fairly stable all across EU because it's an open market after all. But the wages in Romania are far lower than the EU average so that's why the incentive to cut and sell wood is relatively higher here.
> A browser engine is a very security relevant part. Especially considering the ability to execute generated code, if you consider a JIT for Javascript code. This means, allowing arbitrary engines can have a significant security impact. As much as I resent most restrictions set up by Apple, this has at least some justification.

That argument would work a little bit better if Apple wasn't shipping their products with the most outdated browser engine of all the current browser market in the first place...

I'm not sure if you're really in derivatives trading, because ZH has become a f*ing hero on our trading floor as if drove many positions to the short side in Feb because of their early coverage of the covid crisis.

They published a number of warning indicators that we just didn't see anywhere else.

Most (all?) Linux distros (Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, ...) use their packaged Rust and cargo to build other packages like Firefox, ripgrep, etc.

I mean we have the plan.

The state building decent affordable housing on a massive scale to increase the supply and bring down the absurd prices.

The UK managed it post-WW2 when it occurred to the government that hundreds of thousands of well trained, very fit young men who'd been taught to kill where going to need somewhere to live over the next two decades.

At the peak of that in the 60's we built 400,000 council houses (in addition to private housing) per year.

In 2017 we built 160,000 in total.

Also back in the 60's there where strict rules on the size of family council (state) built housing around size - so those 400,000 houses had more generous room sizes on average.

The thing the plan lacks is a plan to get around the fact that home-owners will go ballistic and that government disproportionately listens to them and I say this as someone who will be buying a house in the next couple of years.

Ironically I'll be putting an ex-council house high on my list because a lot of them where built like battleships, had high ceilings and nice room sizes and frequently decent sized gardens.

Picking one I know from growing up.

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.7817901,-0.2459041,3a,75y,31...

Oh and to make it worse, Covid has and will decimate the house building industry, it's already an ogliopoly (the top 10 builders account for >50% of all houses built and artificially restrict supply to protect prices) - the remaining small builders are basically knackered at this point.

They really did build some nice ones.

What we really need is people with a bold vision of how to solve the problems, someone like Ebenezer Howard who started the garden city movement in the late victorian era but frankly we don't have them and if we did they likely wouldn't get elected anyway.

It seems like we are stuck on this one way downward spiral when it comes to housing for no sensible reason I can see.

I don't know whether it's "racist"; the term "racist" is highly ambiguous. It might also be "sexist". In any case the expression is nasty and should not be used, in my opinion.
Science is the process that makes our cultural representations of the world match the world as it can be observed and measured.

Apple has a bad track record with parental control and other "be safe online" apps, crippling them in the name of privacy. I'd never recommend an iPhone for a child.

Not only hidden away, but one will have to set this option every time the page refreshes, as with time ordering of timeline. That latter behavior nullified FB usability for me, not using for 2+ years and happy. Every time when come back just run away scary of the political trash bin it has become.
None of the ones I know are. They are all proprietary.

I'm not sure they are for sale either (probably for the right price), since they sell these "as a service", which pays better. I also don't think these are on sale for "small" customers.
I have a theory that when you get beyond the front door of most Japanese houses they are really like this: https://resources.realestate.co.jp/living/messiest-houses-in...
Yeah, I think the sticking point in the different prices is that you cannot in any way indicate to the user that they can get the same service for cheaper or that there's an included Apple tax. This means that Hey would need to be charging $142 on iOS without a mention that $43 is an Apple tax that is not present when signing up on Hey.com.

The full Tailwind without PurgeCSS is definitely huge (about 2MB uncompressed), but the more recent versions have PurgeCSS integrated directly, without needed to set it up separately.

The suggested use case is building one stylesheet that covers all your pages, with the idea that a site with a reasonably consistent design is likely to use only a very narrow sliver of the available classes. In practice I've found my styles when using Tailwind to hover around the 30KB mark uncompressed (single digit KBs actually going over the wire).

It's definitely added complexity, but it's not too bad imo.
