I run a YouTube streaming server which theoretically will be blocked by Google after a burst of requests. I've found the very best way to avoid the problem is to have zero users.

After submitting to Show HN and looking at my own server log I can say definitively that mentioning a project on HN doesn't attract any users. All I see are spiders following links as idiot bloggers repost content from HN. Techbros apparently consider HN to be some kind of social shrine to the marketing industry that is big tech.

Judging by the number of comments here I would guess Lyrics-finder isn't in danger of being blocked by Google.
I said my anecdote was my personal mistake, not that is the sole basis of my opinion here.

I've seen enough both personally and in the data to know what's real here. It's not some sort of injust crusade against otherwise healthy workplace relationships.
You can improve your communication and inspire communities, without stagnating, by de-coupling it from your day-to-day; for example:

- I'm a developer organizing indie conferences [0]. I'm always described as an "organization kind of guy." I don't go out of my way to influence on programming techniques.

Alternatively there are:

- Developers who stream their projects, commercial or otherwise. They're well-known because people value insights from seeing someone do technical work.

I'm probably missing other cases of "influencers" who don't slowly stagnate by focusing too much on courses and marketing.

Right. My point was that if you use 2016 election predictions as evidence that Adams is delusional, then you should also use major media organizations' 2016 predictions as evidence of greater delusion. Adams called the election a year beforehand. At the same time, Nate Silver was giving Trump a 2% chance of being nominated. The dude is batty in some ways, but he clearly saw something that most of us didn't.
So if you want school to be more expensive, then a good way to do that is to let in twice as many people as can cut it, and then have half of them drop out. Basically what we are doing now. That more than doubles the cost and also screws a lot of people out of good years of their lives, since those who drop out then have to seek education elsewhere.

The top level replies here are interesting, I think, for the HN crowd.

There’s some great examples of social good - helping homelessness, poor countries, the starving, the environment etc.

I don’t see anything though related to digital human rights and fixing the surveillence marketing & surveilance state activites that have overcome the web. As a tech crowd i find that very intriguing.

If anyone has examples of what they’re doing in this space I’d like to hear it?

I’m thinking of things like Solid, Matrix, Sovrin, and so on... this area seems to be growing rapidly and it interests me alot

Broadcasting and passive communication will always be lossy in any format. You’re absolutely right that a “hey bub” moment would have really clearly indicated whether the author was willing to buckle down or not.

And, even better, they could have had that discussion in the interview. “We aren’t here for fun, we are where to X. We demand your full attention even if things sit outside your personal comfort zone in sleeping, etc.” But I guess it’s easier to just kick people out of the program than to be delicate and upfront with wording and seriousness.
There appear to be different variations on the letters (src/dataset), one of which is randomly selected.
The reason why education in Germany is affordable whereas education in the US is not, is precisely because we have 7-10 non-academic staff per academic staff, whereas Germany has less than 1. These proposals of reducing non-academic staff, increasing rigor, reducing time to graduation, etc, is an attempt to be more like the German model.

At least they can go out for an hour of exercise. In Spain during the lockdown only a single person could go to the store a day. There won't be another mass lockdown people won't accept it and cases are climbing again. However the good news is that there does not seem to be equal explosion in hospitalisations or death.

In a world where you design your entire data processing pipeline from the ground up for each process, sure, you the person who knows the encoding of the program, and the program itself, have the same knowledge of text encodings. You also wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

In practice, if this comes up at all it's a huge mistake to be destroying your data. Curse the person who wrote the tool in the middle that eats data, and don't be them.

Even outright throwing errors is better than replacing characters and expecting whoever looks at the data on the other end to notice.
Here are two videos that explain it better than I ever could here:

https://www.complexityexplorer.org/courses/103-origins-of-li...

https://www.complexityexplorer.org/courses/103-origins-of-li...

Click on the Lectures tab if you are interested in Origins of Life. I took the course, and fully recommend it. But only these two videos are specific to the topic at hand. Some of the other materials overlap a little with quantum subjects, but it's not really what the course is specifically about.

If you're interested in all the stuff you're hearing about COVID-19 with all the vaccine trials etc, and what all this "spike" business is, you'll actually understand it in depth if after going through the course in its entirety. And you'll appreciate on a technical level why they keep hammering you to wash your hands with soap. And as a side effect, you'll at least partially understand how certain quantum calculations work.

If I sound like a fanboi, it's because I enjoyed the course greatly. Despite it being so thorough, it is free. I donated, 'cos the world definitely needs more courses like this.

Whilst that's true... It doesn't change that the floor you're moving it to is probably not rated for the weight.

Picking it up only solves half the problem, and the easier half.
A thing I read a long time ago that really encapsulates this recently came up in my mind again.

If you want to get better, work on your B-game, not your A-game. The goal is not to excel even harder on days that are good. The goal is to move up the baseline performance. This will probably lift up your A-game as well. But more importantly it gives you a base to build on.

It stops me from over-reaching. It stops me from being disappointment most of the time because I don't reach my lofty goal. Instead, it gives meaningful improvement, and many small successes.
Alternate explanation: you work from home (thus aren't forced out of the house) and you are entertained enough by HN and Reddit and Netflix and whatever you do to have no real desire to leave, and since you have any concern about the virus, you confuse your indoor shut-in lifestyle (which most of us have) as some positive premeditated rational character trait that everyone else lacks.

I'd wager that explains almost all of the self-congratulating I see online.
Reputation of a publisher is one of the ways you evaluate things.
For some reason this reminds me. My old house, built in the 40s, had a mysterious small hatch in the closet floor across from the bathroom.

One day I opened it and it was just a cutout of the floor, directly over the washing machine in the basement below. I'm not sure if that's lazy or genius, but it doesn't get much easier than that I guess.
"They built proprietary extensions to the web, which the rest of the world - and particularly the open source world - had to reverse engineer and spend ridiculous amounts of effort to implement."

One example is XHR, which is probably the single defining feature of the modern web.

Good standards simply codify whatever "proprietary" features we've found are useful.
As in the title, I wrote an article for beginners to learn about making emulators.

they all are a great example of a violation of the same moral principle, and you are right that taxes are an indirect way of saying "give it to me or else", which is in the same category of "we claim your finite time on this earth so that you pursue our goals instead of your own, and if you refuse we will make sure you will regret it"

>They're saying they're concerned that they might get addicted

To be clear I don't think I'm inherently vulnerable. It's more of a "let's rather not find out what happens when my love of gaming gets combined with peer pressure & reinforcement loops" consideration.

I do like the Anno series for this though. It scratches the same "city builder" itch but it has a pretty fast burn cycle. i.e. I'll spend a weekend doing little else and then lose interest for 3 months.
Deferral and being kicked out mostly feel like the same thing for all practical purposes, in that they both end up with the same bad consequences. (In fact, I’d even say deferral could have potentially far worse consequences for a person of average means!)
This feels like the kind of comment I'd find on Reddit

> The way I see it, Epic could go ahead and make their own mobile devices, spend years on creating their OWN appstore, and capture the market that way.

I mean this is in such bad faith how do you even argue against it.

Their whole point is Apple has locked people out of running the software they want to run on their phones unless you use their app store. They're leveraging this to extract money from devs.

Epic would gladly make their own app store if people could run the software they want to on the iPhone, they did it on PC to the same end.

Also complaining about different colors of characters and clothing being sold as "jacking people over"

Is that a joke? Once upon a time monetization that "jacked people over" was skinner boxes wrapped up in time crystals paid for with special gems that came up 99 bucks a pop.

The battle pass system is an excellent example of fair monetization. It doesn't affect ability to use the game, it doesn't unduly wrap rewards in some kind of RNG lottery, it's literally as tame as monetization gets.

It turns out people would rather spend $20 on optional stuff when they feel like it than paying $20 for every expansion to a game. Kinda crazy huh?
Careful with these patch releases as they often introduce breaking changes. Java update 11.0.6 recently broke all self-signed certs because they introduced new behavior, and required a config change to enable the old behavior. Test before you roll them out!

A personal anecdote: I'm seriously obese and all diets and habitual changes to cut calorie intake failed except doing strict OMAD (one meal a day, 23:1).

For me dealing with food in just one (1) meal/sitting a day is way easier than cutting meal sizes and incredients 5+ times a day. I also "know" that I will be sated 1 time per day, so no prolonged hunger phase anxiety. "Opportunity makes the thief" so just limit the opportunities.

So to speak "marshmallows are secured" in any case, except that over time I learned that high carb foods/sweets will make me hungry much earlier again.

I'm sticking to this for 374 days as of today and lost ~44kgs/97lbs with regular medical support of my GP (recent blood work was really great).
Yep! Same here. This is hilariously bad for a state like California.

I wonder why I got downvoted.
I try not to be in the business of deciding who has and has not earned a particular mode of speech, but I think the consistently-high volume of votes and discussions on Rachel's posts should show that the substance is there, many many times over :)
I'm an American living in Melbourne right now (and, I guess, for the foreseeable future) and I've been very impressed with the way the government here has been handling restrictions. They're really doing everything they can to impress the seriousness of this on the population, and of the paramount importance of saving lives.

When I chat with my friends and family in the US, I find myself quietly surprised when they mention things like travel or hanging out with friends. "Oh right, not everyone is locked down like we are." It's tough in some ways - my partner and I really miss hiking - but we're more than willing to keep this up until it's clear that we've contained the spread.
Well spotted. Surprised no-one even mentioned this in the comments there.
Maybe hn should have a dedicated "metacontent discussion" comment which collects all the discussion topics like this under a single collapseable top level thread.
Whether it's about gdpr/cookies, paywalls, noscript behavior, twitter-thread rant, there can sometimes be more metacontent discussion than content discussion.
Dual booting is common for people playing games. While steamplay/proton works well enough for some games a lot need either a lot of hacking or a full blown windows to run. You can do GPU passthrough VMs if you have two GPUs but I have a miniITX board and no iGPU so that is not an option for me.

Personally when dual-booting I don't share anything at all between the OS'es, but my understanding is that most do.

I see a comparison between "CNC retrofit" and "CNC from the factory" machines. What are buildings after all but big machines around us.

CNC retrofits (even when successful) tend to be never ending projects. This is partly because the kind of person who retrofits a machine is seldom satisfied with it.

But also one tends to end up replacing the whole machine over time - the motion and way the machine gets used is different. The "wear cycle" is accelerated and new machine properties become important. Retrofits also are much more challenging to support than factory-supplied systems and tend to "frankenstein" very quickly.

IOT windows might start making real sense as an aspect of a whole building design where they can be fit for purpose, designed for expected wear and usage and work harmoniously with other building systems.

A truly native IOT window will involve the frame, the glass, the opener, maybe the shades -- and the rest of the building. We probably also need standardised "window sockets" around the frames, with standards for power and data connections to make installation, replacement and upgrade practical.
Was kinda nuts. Nine years ago. About whether using sockpuppets was remotely acceptable. On that specific forum, on that specific topic. OK, sure.

Sockpuppet accounts for trolling used to be common on several niche forums on the internet (which is how this practice got a name), especially this many years ago. I could certainly see how someone could be confused about how sockpuppeting was or was not acceptable behavior on a specific forum. He might have thought (but I’m speculating here) that he was engaging with (i.e. trolling) the forum within the (semi-)established norm of behavior for that forum.

Is that all the rope with which you would have him hanged? That stump is so short that you couldn’t even tie a knot with it.

If Adams only had kept his observations about Trump to himself, none of this would be an issue. But no, now everybody’s gotta find those crucial six lines somewhere in all the things he’s ever written, and whenever someone mentions anything he’s ever said, especially if it’s not about Trump or about politics in any way, it must be overwhelmed with random lists of accusations, all of which are false, misleading, or ancient and irrelevant, or all three. Merely to thoroughly discredit anyone even remotely associated with Trump.
Poor wording on my part. NYC is full of different scenes/social circles, clubs, programs, so on and so forth. There is a flakiness (in my opinion) that often accompanies people that try out lots of different things.

For a program like RC, having people join and drop out or decide to only show up for a few days a week or whatever directly cheapens the experience for others and damages the community and serendipity and mood that arises when you have a bunch of smart, dedicated, and focused people there.

My belief (and I emphatically am not staff, just an alum with opinions) is that they want to make absolutely sure people are committed. They also want to make absolutely sure everybody is getting the same start.

I finally realized you meant the license page! Actually, on this page it's clearly stated along with a number of other exceptions to the LGPL v3. This clearly makes the program not open source software under the FSF's definition and I think it would be extremely risky to use even part of this code in your own application.

> DRM "Digital rights management", protected videos / streams or Copyright materials.

> Porn videos/streams or any pornography materials.

This program is NOT open source software.
