> By the 1990s, Kolbe says, he was introducing new legislation to kill the penny with every new session of Congress. But he kept facing resistance — for example, from the speaker of the House at the time, Dennis Hastert, who represented a district in Illinois, the home state of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln, of course, is on the penny, and Kolbe says that proved to be a major roadblock.

I hear this a lot, and I think its a weak argument. The original coinage act (1792?) authorized a $5 coin. Replace the Lincoln penny with the Lincoln $5 coin; you continue to have a Lincoln coin, you trade a useless coin for one that will be very useful for the next 100 years, and now all US currency with Lincoln on it is $5. Win-win-win.

But the bubble must collapse eventually, right? Enron was "the most innovative company" for 6 years in a row too.
I think it's pretty drastic to say "everyone here has imbibed" that Kool-Aid; I work in embedded, and am not super familiar with the frameworks he's complaining about, but I found the blog post entertaining nonetheless.

Sometimes I feel like the people who are deep down in this "full stack developer" land should come up for air and look around at the bigger picture. There's a much bigger world of software development out there and actually I think this post was kind of an attempt at that.

The web-facing industry seems to have dug itself down into a very deep rabbit hole of frameworks-on-frameworks-on-buzzwords, in a way it wasn't 10 years ago when I last played in that space.

It looks very weird over there from over here :-)
I think the OP argued pretty explicitly that a well researched comment, that violates the orthodoxy, is down-voted until it is removed from public discussion.

I'm not sure how you can come to the conclusion that he's "against others expressing their opinions".
> But it is a consequence of their actions...

Actually, it seems to be leftists who are under the impression that their actions should have no consequences.

It's not just about number of journalists, but more about the culture of NYT. NYT made a garage handle much larger than it actually was by using telescope camera on the article on so-called noose. And is this truth-finding? NYT published opinions like "Yes, we literally mean abolish police". They published articles like "Are protests unsafe? What experts say may depend on who's protesting what". Of course they didn't lie. They just publish one side of the sotry. Oh, and that 4000 opinions that the orange man is evil? Great, I guess, and what policies and executive orders did the orange man signs and pushes? What are the motivations behind the controversial policies based on facts and data? Where are the debates of the implications of the policies? No no no, those are wrong questions. All I need to know is that the orange man is evil, right? That's the truth ,right? Or am I a bigot, a racist, an evil person, a xenophobia just because I'm curious about the details of what the orange man did in his presidency?
Burning is preferable to cutting because it also kills funguses and insects.

So what's interesting is that article says that many (most? all?) other bluberry growers also burn, but they spray oil which burns very hot. This includes modern Native American tribes. The grower featured in the article burns straw, which is the traditional way of doing it.
I thought each of these were good until I tried something different. I think people moved from legacy things like Windows Live Mail, MapQuest, and Word 2000 to these services, and then never noticed the rest of the world got better outside of Google-land.

Gmail operates what is probably an industry-worst mail client. I have helped people using AOL Mail in 2020, and it is a superior experience. It performs better. FastMail is a paid service, and it's quality matches that: FastMail can run in circles around Gmail every single day.

Google Docs/Sheets is Office without all of the reasons businesses use Word. You can try to patch in some of it's holes with add-ons (I had some experience with a Mail Merge add-on for Gmail/Sheets, and it was fine, I guess, but a paid service from a third party) but with a lot of added jank. Collaborative editing was it's claim to fame, but you can do that just fine in Office 365, with a far more capable app suite.

Google Maps, Drew covered the point pretty well: Google just has the money for more data. It's prohibitively expensive to use that data yourself as a service, and others who have access to less data still manage a comparable and sometimes better product than Maps. Usually while better respecting your privacy.
That seems very similar to what a certain US citizen that now lives in Russia almost had happen to them.
April 10, 2025 is when the penny should cease, so we can commemorate it on nickel/dime/quarter day 05/10/25. And yes, it should be April 10 and not October 05 because this will be an American holiday dang it.

I think a key to streaming is balance of audio and visual "stimulation." If you're not "doing" (as captured by OBS) something stimulating then you need to be saying something engaging. Some in theory if you're coding in python you might need say something to engage your; teaching, explaining your methodology or talking about current events around technology. If you're confident your audio stimulation will not be as strong you need to visualize something engaging. Sometime I did once via youtube was streaming myself writing a research paper creating maps in arcgis.
Entirely agreed, CoreOS Container Linux was a great project that served its purpose well. Yes it went EOL last month and we just moved to one its successors, Fedora CoreOS, also works well. The authors tone is incredibly off putting.
Calling Al Bowers "a NASA scientist" is like calling Jeff Bezos "some rich guy". Al was (now retired) the Chief scientist at Armstrong Flight Research Center, and has been a huge inspiration to hundreds (maybe thousands) of young interns over the years.

It is not accurate, hence my footnote. If one has sufficient skill, altitude and/or forward speed an autorotation can be made to a forced landing, and arguably more safely than a fixed-wing forced landing. Of course, this depends on the main rotor and flight controls still working well enough to perform an autorotation.
Thank you, we all share the same pain with package search.

The categories curation in Openbase includes a category, but also a framework. So as you mentioned, under Table libraries, you could have React, Vue, Svelte libraries etc.

We currently filter those by framework, but unfortunately, we didn't have the time to fully implement this page prior to the launch.

What should be in this page is a dropdown where you can choose from 10 different frameworks, and see the results for that specific framework. That dropdown, along with the URL routing to support it, is still missing from the product. It's one of the most important things on our roadmap, so expect to see it on Openbase soon.

Unfortunately, there's no way to 100% ensure all packages are included inside a category since the curation is manual, but I would say we do base it on extensive Google/npm/GitHub search. In the future, we want to involve the community in the curation process, so anyone can suggest new packages for a category or categories to a package. Not a simple thing to implement, but we chose this challenge since we do feel that categorization can provide a lot of value.
It's not an opinion: that's the whole point. This is basic, "there exists X which is Y, therefore not all X is not-Y" logic.

How are you just throwing out all the right-wing media? There's more than huffpo and wapo. On the right, you've got your Sinclair media groups, you've got your Fox news, all the media listed in this article were discussing, Breitbart, the daily stormer, the hill, and so on. There's a very large media base in the US for right-wing news, but, again, your aggrieved narrative glosses over the fact.

Cameroon's government decries the abusive use of social media
James Mickens' 'Technological Manifest Destiny', cited at UseNIX 2018, is a real thing. At the time, listening to it, it was easy to chuckle, but I've since had a lot of sobering conversations with people in which I realized partway through that they really believed these things, and that's frightening.

Technological Manifest Destiny:

1. Technology is value neutral and will therefore automatically lead to great outcomes for everyone.

2. If we delay the rollout of new technology than we would delay the distribution of the inevitably great impacts for everyone.

3. History is generally uninteresting because the past has nothing to teach us right now.

Processor branding is garbage, but paying attention to the 3/5/7 as if it means anything is buying into it.

What you need to know is really what socket/chipset the thing works with, what architecture it is (sky/whatever lake, Zen 2, etc), how many cores, what features (smt, avx, ecc, gpu, etc), frequency, and power limits.

So mamy people say "i have an i7" as if that means anything over time. An early i7 is a 4-core part, where 4-core parts are entry level now, and of course a 10 year old part is behind a lot on IPC compared to a recent processor.
Completely valid question, and I think you make a great point here. A lot of baffling managerial behavior is because the manager is working in a baffling bureaucracy. Unfortunately, I think this situation was largely of the latter case, and maybe some motivations I'm not aware of.

They were a senior engineer that spent a lot of time coaching the rest of the team, and less time on their own personal work. The commits data point, in my opinion, should have been the beginning of a conversation that ended with the manager asking this person to adjust their priorities. Instead it was presented as an accusation that the person wasn't getting their work done, which ultimately lead to them feeling insulted and quitting.

I have a device designed for the bedroom that does a pretty good job with this problem.

When it's off, the light is on. When it's on, the light is off.

It sounds counterintuitive in an office environment, but since the device is meant to be kept next to the bed and used at night, turning off when in use makes perfect sense. Especially since if you want to turn it on in the dark, the light is illuminated and helps you find the thing.
> They cited time zone differences, unreliable or state-managed Internet and armed conflict in some of the students’ homelands.

I think it would be enlightening to see transcripts of the moments where each side said something convincing to the other.

Like...did Harvard representatives walk in and say "You know that this shit matters, right?" and then did the US representatives say "Oh shit. You're right. We never even thought of that." ? Or was there more to it?

There has to be more to it than that, right? "Struck a deal" implies that both sides gave something. So what did both sides give? Or did the US just walk back a move made without any foresight whatsoever when someone asked if they'd thought about the consequences?
So he knows how to push and pop the registers. Okay...
I’ve found a lot of the better comedies from that period (Chaplin, Keaton) to be damn near timelessly good. Art films are hit-or-miss but when they hit they seem, similarly, just as interesting and powerful as they must have been then. It’s the dramas that consistently struggle, IMO, with even the best requiring some serious patience and acclimatization to the time & style to enjoy.
That's a really interesting thought, we've never thought of this direction!
Are there any successful products/companies with such business model (providing testing and certificates for money)
Ideally yes, but as we saw with the 737-MAX the training isn't always available or correct even in the aviation industry (and if they can't get it right then other industries have little hope).

I'd argue a better UX would be to light up two or more buttons making the potential decisions more clear. Might be even better to use a touchscreen so that more context can be provided.

Rest assured that I am firmly in your camp, and I've been tirelessly making the argument to policymakers that Big Web is not the resident innovative force in computing any more, despite the Obama administration's rapid adoption of their ideals and philosophy to salvage Healthcare.gov. In both the legislative and executive branches I have found many, many sympathetic ears who have been burned by ballooning budgets to handle public cloud and all the concerns that came with it, which folks who advocate for cloud-first deployment tend to overlook when addressing people who genuinely don't know (concerns endemic to Big Web operation of cloud actually need explaining when addressing a sector that's never touched it).

There is a watershed coming where Big Web/FAANG will lose this mantle, and DevOps, half-baked Agile because nobody ever bakes it all the way, framework engineering, and a complete fundamental ball-dropping around security and exploitation of user data are rapidly ensuring it.

At some point, Big Web/FAANG and everybody delivering Web services of some kind got the idea that the Web was computing. I think the prototypical version of this thinking led to Rob Pike's observations about systems research in the early oughts. This forum tends to operate with that underlying assumption about the lens to view computing through no fault of anyone in particular, which is why I say that.
> Sure, you can find some on the left whose speech

It is not just some though. It is a whole lot of people.

Or, at least, this is what it is in online discourse. The overwhelmingly loud voices of the intolerant drown out anyone who is even attempting to be nuanced.

But perhaps that says more about online discourse than it does about any left vs right debate.

If you see things critical of US/Europe/Canada sitting and not strongly moderated - that's because people can usually hold rational and informed discussion on those subject. (btw this one is sitting as well? is it not?)

I don't see the same when it come to China, it just gets flooded by propaganda from both sides, and it devolves into a flamewar. People start accusing each other for being spies and shills, and wishing ill on an entire people because of where they're born and how they happened to be governed. And that doesn't belong to HN and should be moderated, if you like information or discussion that conform to your existing bias you can definitely participate at /r/worldnews.
Thanks, Phil Donahue was the main example I thought of.
The NBBO ensures you get the best price available on public exchanges. Public exchanges are not the only places where stocks are traded.

If the best price of a stock on exchanges is $25.00, but an HFT can buy it at $24.99 on a dark pool, they could buy it cheaper and sell it to you, and pocket the difference. When they pay your broker for the privilege of doing so, it's called payment for order flow. As a retail trader you have no visibility or access to dark pools.

Aside from dark pools, NBBO updates have latency which may be exploited:

http://strategicreasoning.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ec3...

Not matter how they do it, the fact that they are willing to pay your broker to execute your order is proof that they have some way to make money from your orders.
That things I write for the web usually go through a "lazy comment" filter where I pull out references that would lead to lazy comments. Things that often get stripped are one reference to a specific example when I'm talking about something general–because invariably the comments will focus on "how I don't get the software" or "how I singled it out" or "how what I wrote isn't even true if you look at this way so my point is now invalid". Either I mention no examples, and have the commenters come up with their own, or I have a few so that I don't get attacked by a specific group of people.

On the other hand, Amazon's chatbot for order issues is actually one of the best customer support experiences I've had.

Me: "I need to get a refund"

Bot: "Which order do you need refunded?"

Me: select order

Bot: "What's your reason for requesting a refund?"

Me: "Item did not arrive"

Bot: "Alright, I've credited your payment method x#### used on this order."

Fastest refund I've ever gotten-- the product never arrived at the door and usually a refund like that requires an escalation to prevent fraud; I'm assuming this system uses some sort of risk analysis score to determine if it can refund without a return.
Why is being forgotten a right at all? It seems as arbitrary to me as a right to strawberry icecream.
Is this administration very incompetent, or very sadistic?

If they rescinded the order, means they:

1) Didn't think through the consequences, or the legality of the order.

2) They just wanted to crate some chaos, and mess up with the foreign kids, while posturing to their base

3) Force universities to stay open in the middle of the pandemic in order to help Trump's reelection bid... (not sure how breakouts of covid infections at colleges will help him)
It’s not just management that feels this way. A lot of junior engineers feel the same way. It’s what leads to bloat because they assume “it can’t be right” if it’s just a small change.

It takes a while for a lot of junior engineers to realize small elegant solutions are better, and requires good mentorship and code review to get there.
Ahh, yes. This is so common in my experience as well!

Work _hard_ to keep yourself out of that situation.
