Internet users are a thousand (actually probably more like a hundred thousand) times too quick to jump to such insidious but exciting conclusions. Having spent countless hours investigating such things I can tell you confidently that the overwhelming explanation is the boring and obvious one, the one Mr. Occam will give if you ask: people just disagree.

People are biased toward underestimating how much legitimate disagreement there is in any large, distributed population sample—which HN is. Probably we're hard-wired to evaluate the world by local conditions around us, and most of us are surrounded by people who see things similarly to how we do. Then we come online, bump into views that are harsh outliers in our world, and poof: an astroturfer under every bed and a spy in every closet.

This is so close to a universal mechanism that we have a rule about it in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."

Please note: this is not to say that abuse doesn't exist. But the overwhelming majority of such insinuations are imaginary, so in investigating real abuse we need concrete evidence to go on—something, anything. The presence of opposing views on an internet forum does not clear that bar—it is evidence of nothing but that the topic is divisive.

Containers share a platform. They increase attack surface by supplying a vector to any neighbour, by being something that can be attacked at all, and by requiring another control plane that requires credentials, making it a social engineering opportunity as well as being another component that itself can be vulnerable.

They are not an additional shell of defence, they do not reduce your blast radius.

It sounds like you're making a semantic argument. To you "progressives" by definition adhere to a liberal ethos (perhaps even that any who adhere to a certain liberal ethos are also 'progressives'), ergo they can't be the ones doing the (inherently illiberal) cancelling. Others are observing that the group that identifies as (and is commonly known as) 'progressives' seem to be practicing or defending cancellation.

As is often the case with semantic arguments, it's probably not very useful to debate terms, and you're probably just better off to say "cancelling is abhorrent and anyone who does it deserves criticism and condemnation irrespective of their 'tribe'" and move on.
Thank you!
Annual surveys are very interesting to read to see the macro trends, but as you mentioned they can't keep up with the pace of the JS ecosystem.
Furthermore, they cover the major categories (e.g. big frameworks or tooling), but cannot cover the hundreds of different categories that we use on a regular basis (HTTP request library, logging library, tooltip library, XML parsing library, etc.)

I had a friend who worked at an early dedicated hosting provider in the late 90's / early 2000's. He did "network security." He had his own servers on the network, serving up pirated warez and movies. Since he was in charge of the monitoring, this was never found out... until he was let go during the dot-com crash and needed to retrieve his equipment.

I used to be a skeptic of MSM in general but started reading/following NYT and some other major news outlets about an year ago to challenge my own mindset.

From what I have seen, to my surprise, the NYT's opinion section does encompass diverse viewpoints and reports in general are neutral in tone!

Any criticism I have seen of NYT are either nitpicking (example: headline being too moderate) or taking an incident that is outlier and generalising it (example: Editor of opinion section didn't read a controversial opinion piece by a politician before publishing and resigned over the backlash. Instead of viewing it as an one-off incident, it was criticized as NYT not tolerant of diverse opinions).

NYT is not perfect (who else is?) but it is still one of the best organization with highest standards of journalism I have seen.
I dunno, frustration with the CDC has been pretty bipartisan. Remember back in February when they delivered a bunch of faulty tests?
The one that drives me up the wall is the schedule/cost anchoring question, "this should be easy to do, right?" every time they asking for a new feature. It's set to manipulate you to lower the schedule or the cost. If you say it's not easy, they would question your competency. If you say it's easy, they would say, well then you can get it done this week.

It always gives me a pause, and then I would double the schedule.
So, after you buy the thing, it helpfully informs you that the advertising was bollocks? Seems like an excellent reason to ban the advertising.
I understand, and it was not my intention to drag the systemd discussion up again. It was just one of the many things I thought of after reading cwyers post which really resonated with me, and the parent article as well.

And there are things I do like about systemd, I also have to say. Especially the way you can pass a variable to a server with @, like run 2 instances on different ports.

I know very well that the rc scripts were a pain to maintain as I've written some as well in the past. So I really understand the benefit of upstream-provided service configs.

The transition to systemd for me as a user was just a bit more difficult. It deviates so much from earlier conventions, and adapting it I found difficult. It enforces a lot more than just the init system.

For some reason I always end up having to compile some of the software I use myself, and having to make scripts then. I found this a lot easier with OpenRC than with Systemd (having pretty much no knowledge of either).

But anyway I'm just one user and you support millions, I know you're making the right choices for the platform. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me in fact!
Back in the mid 90's, I upgraded an early ISP from a 56K dedicated line to a full T1. It was absolutely amazing, having all that bandwidth.
That skeezy company [1] at least has a fairly clear review process; it's clear what they will reward. It's not clear how what they reward is related to things that are useful to ~users~ people, advertisers, or the business, or even not breaking everything by rushing to push at the end of the review period. If you care about those things, you either have to not care about your reviews, or enough review positive stuff that you have a little time to do real work.

Yeah, your average side-address condenser really is not a good choice for livestreaming at all. Even the good ol' SM58 or its Made-in-China competitor, the AKG D5 are going to perform much better in terms of background rejection, and are obviously a lot cheaper.
As of April, you can now program for the Nintendo Switch in SmileBASIC 4 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/smilebasic-4-switch/].

Back in 2010 I was writing production code in VB6 on a Inventory management and ERP system that ended up being sold off when the original developer decided to retire. As far as I know that piece of software is still being used today and runs quite a number of restaurants, airline catering companies and amusement parks.

15 seconds to chug a bud is an eternity.

I choose to assume the man meant what he said, has a slowish car that can only hit 75mph, but can chug a beer in a respectable 5 seconds.
Typically for me the time cost is in going down rabbitholes to attempt to improve implicit static types for getting closer to "whole program" functional type inference (TypeScript repeatedly seduces me into this), and the decision inflection point is generally not for application code but for the space between application and script code, things that you might also write Perl or python scripts to accomplish...the types are especially useful in this context because they tell you a lot more about the script than your typical script, but they also introduce a bunch of overhead for a few lines of code.
So, on that basis, all false advertising should be legal provided the manufacture includes a ‘yeah, we made that up, this is actually a toaster, not a time machine’ pamphlet?
Heck just living in the wrong neighborhood in freaking Orange County California can mean the only options are att with 5mb dsl or cox charging ridiculous amounts for cable.

A couple blocks down my neighbors get att fiber and google fiber. I get tons of ads for those fiber services just so they can rub in my limited choices of paying att ridiculous amounts for bad dsl or Coxs even higher prices for the lowest tiered cable.

Non-Programming Books That Inspire Me to Become a Better Programmer
Right, but by the same token there's also a reality distortion field where some Tesla owners believe that they have functionality that no-one else does.

I have had multiple people tell me about how revolutionary Tesla's blind spot warning system is, because it's adaptive to relative speeds, and not "just a dumb sensor like everyone else's".

Except even my entry level 2015 Audi has it. Car in your blind spot or just behind that's at your speed, or slower? Warning time is adjusted accordingly. Sit in traffic while cars whiz by you in the HOV lane? It accounts for the massive speed differential and alerts you far earlier.

But somehow at least some Tesla owners think that "no-one but Tesla does this".

Correct, the process is "cash rounding" or "Swedish rounding" and all the details are here [1] for all the major countries that do it. In Canada:

- Prices are rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 cents for sales ending in: 1¢ & 2¢ (rounded to 0¢); and 6¢ & 7¢ (rounded to 5¢).

- Prices are rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5 cents for sales ending in: 3¢ & 4¢ (round to 5¢); and 8¢ & 9¢ (round to 10¢).

This paragraph is most interesting to me:

> While a video is likely to receive more views if posted by an account that has more followers, by virtue of that account having built up a larger follower base, neither follower count nor whether the account has had previous high-performing videos are direct factors in the recommendation system.

This seems to ring true to my experience, and seems to be very different than other platforms e.g. Youtube. I've seen a lot of videos on TikTok get very popular that never would have taken off on any other platform

Kijiji. Ebay owned Canadian classifieds site that is absolutely horrid experience with hundreds of http request and a bazillion ads loading on 1995 web servers. Its still one of the most popular classifieds in Canada. I'm annoyed to the point of rewriting their UI and entire app and thinking of open sourcing it.
Hacker News is totally usable on dialup. The home page is only ~7KB. I'm sure there are plenty of other sites out there which are usable as well. RSS feeds should be fine as well. Podcasts can be downloaded in bulk when you pull into port.

I didn't even mention the web in my original comment though, and that was on purpose. When you live on a yacht, you get to be out exploring the world and enjoying life. Why would you want to be cooped up in the cabin, scrolling Facebook or Twitter, or watching Netflix all day? If that's what you want, you should probably sell your yacht and get an apartment with broadband.

There are plenty of people out there who still live without broadband. People on small islands, or in 3rd world countries. They may not be wealthy, but they have happy lives. With a yacht you can go visit some of them. Spend some time eating food and enjoying different cultures. The world is a big place.

You'd also be surprised by what's considered rural. Vermont is the most rural state and it's right next to Massachusetts which is one of the least rural.
I would also suggest we look at how different groups define 'intolerance' in practice. In my opinion, a certain group has contorted the term beyond recognition to the effect that it exactly describes their outgroup. One could be forgiven for thinking this contortion is deliberate, particularly in light of this group's propensity toward semantic games.
Is there an archived copy of the manual somewhere that doesn't say to keep your hands on the wheel?

I read it a few years ago and again a few months ago; from what I recall in both cases the manual insisted that drivers keep their hands on the wheels. But this is at odds with how their cars are promoted and evidently programmed. It seems to me that Tesla has been coyly but deliberately encouraging and facilitating a usage pattern which, for legal/liability reasons, they forbid in the manual.
if you're implying that people in the developing world live without internet access, you'd be dead wrong

I imply no such thing. You're projecting your own biases.

I'm merely stating a fact: That not everyone uses Netflix and YouTube, and to consider those life essentials is absurd.

Who uses the indicator lights? - people looking behind a computer or at switchgear. They aren't regular users, they understand how networks operate and what the green/yellow lights mean. They're typically debugging a problem, for which you want the truest indication of what's happening on the wire.

For regular users who just care about working internet, you can notify the user of connection failure where they look - the screen.

That would have been a critique of Thrift, and a valid one, but gRPC has an http gateway interface with semantics for how the RPC calls map to REST calls and JSON. As long as that is supported, then there does not need to be a regression.

As someone who has done it in C, I would both agree and disagree --- reading the file format will definitely be easier since C lets you pick bits/bytes/words/etc. off the stream directly, but on the other hand the high-level structures (looping, etc.) would probably be easier with Python.

Overall, seeing as OP's Python implementation is less than 300 LoC while my C implementation was closer to 750, the Python might be easier. Then again, I followed the algorithms/flowcharts in the spec, which do a faster table-based Huffman decoding than the bit-by-bit of this Python version, and also implemented arbitrary(!) chroma subsampling as the spec allows, so it's not a direct comparison.
Javascript of today borrows liberally from coffeescript of yesterday, so it would make sense for javascript of tomorrow to borrow liberally from typescript of today.

"Just" anything in America is as OP pointed out an absolute nightmare left-vs-right debacle.

The "left" wants to have inclusive pricing for, as you point out, convenience and sanity while politicians on the "right" want to have taxes appended afterwards so that you are smacked in the face with how much the government is wasting your money every time you buy anything.

The parent poster commented on Cuba's current state but never mentioned any active role of Cuba's ruling regime, which single-handedly rules the country with an iron fist for over half a century.

Instead, he commented on a couple of US presidents, including the current acting president which was elected over six decades of continuous rule of Cuba's acting regime.

If we are honestly discussing who is responsible for Cuba's current state, can you try to explain to me without resorting to ad hominem attacks why are the two last ruling US presidents relevant but Cuba's very own regime isn't even worthy of a side reference?

Because I'm pretty sure the Castro brothers were the ones calling the shots for over half a century, including how and where to jail political dissidents.
Their badness is unrelated to the abilities of e.g. x264 compressing a screencast, because it really is quite good at that (near-losless quality at about one Megabit/s).

best not talk about the price of medicine in USD; people might lose their lives
We shouldn't kill the penny because it is a reminder that our currency has been inflated and is no longer worth a small fraction of what it once was. Never forget that pre-1965 coinage besides the penny was made of 90 percent silver. A face value of 1.40 in pre-1965 dimes and quarters is worth 20.00 today, the fact that a penny, not even made of copper, is too expensive to make should be concerning.
Here is Michal Caine talking about this:

https://youtu.be/bZPLVDwEr7Y?t=184

He tell a bunch of actors to always 'pick an eye' when in front of a camera. What Michel Cain does not say is that some actors prefer looking out of their 'handed' eye, believing it to have more impact.

As a demo of 'handedness' in eyes, try this experiment:

1. Hold one finger around one foot in front of your face. Hold the other at arms length. Whilst try to look out of both eyes, ensure that the fingers are visually aligned with each other. This will be difficult, as the images from each eye will not correspond.

2. Slowly open and close one eye. Then do the same with the other. The slow blink from one eye (eye A) will not affect the correspondence of the fingers, whilst the slow blink from the other (eye B) will.

The reason is that eye B is adjusting itself to match eye A.

According to their report to the ministry of the interior, the KMT had more than 21 billion Taiwan dollars (more than 700 million US dollars) in 2020, which is maybe not a lot, but on the other hand Taiwan isn't that big and those are just the party assets.
