It's comparable to 8Chan or Gab or Voat - it's a refuge for all the people who have been censored from places like 4Chan or Twitter or Reddit, and it turns out there's a reason why those folks get banned from such sites and when you get them all together in a room, predictable things happen.

(This is one of the few examples of such sites showing technical competence, so I wouldn't put too much stock in their decision to go with Heroku, and I wouldn't worry about your own apps.)
The phenomena described by the author is called retrogradation.
woah. how did I miss that? from everything I've been reading there's a bunch of projects but they're all still in very early stages.
meh. Turns out even termibal cancer can't force one to mature faster. It's too bad, but there's nothing really deep or poniente here.
Sure, I have a protonmail email with my github username.

This allows you to essentially make the tree "fatter" for a given bitwidth. This matters more in the ipfs setting because links are not memory pointers, but Merkle-links to objects which may be a network request away.
I think it’s more effective to just mass ghost people. The first step would probably be saying no to everything people come with. Couple that with being a dick in general and you should have the perfect recipe for peace. Well probably not emotional peace but YMMV.
My wife passed this year from cancer. Looking back we had no idea how close we were to the end, and in the last few weeks her beautiful mind was influenced by the disease. I’m sure someone on HN is going through this at least adjacently and my recommendation is to not wait to the end to have important conversations. For those that aren’t going through this now, maybe for a little while live life like you are...it might inform your priorities and perspective.

My 17 year old daughter was already dealing with a life-altering chronic disease and losing her mom plus all of this pandemic bullshit has really made a mess. She broke down crying last night struggling over the idea of death and that everything seems to be pitted against her. It’s hard to know exactly what to say in those moments, maybe some of these words from a person at the doorstep will help her.

For what it’s worth we do have her seeing both a counselor and a psychiatrist but that only goes so far...at the end of the day it’s you and your thoughts staring at the ceiling while you’re trying to get to sleep for the 5am shift tomorrow.
I’d also invite you to contemplate the reverse: a last goodbye talk on his death bed.

I find contemplating the absence of others to be much more powerful than my own return back to the void.
It's gotten to the point where I don't even look at projects anymore until I can find comments that confirm there isn't any electron involved.
You can be censored from 4Chan? Wow!
Does this actually happen? I can't see it anywhere near ten minutes.

There were no bad guys, all unarmed, two were a Reuters crew.

The van was good Samaritans, a man and his children. This is perhaps where you heard children were hit, luckily one of the Apache crews noticed their small frames - they were medevac'd by ground forces and survived (horribly injured).
Commander Keen was a fallback game for the smoothing side-scrolling engine that Carmack made and that iD pitched to Nintendo for porting their games onto PCs. Nintendo refused (surprise!), so the engine was use to make Commander Keen instead.

That is, the notable thing about CK was its engine, which as innovative as it aged very quickly. There's still some nostalgic value there I guess but the target audience is probably quite limited.

That "live today as though it's your last" was too dark for me. Fatalistic or something. To get out of my rut, I needed something forward facing, optimistic.

I eventually settled on "live every day as if it's your first." More of "new mind" mentality. I needed something that emphasized awe, joy, wonder, discovery. Vs the addict's group therapy cliche "today is the first day of the rest of your life."

FWIW, my first brush with death was 34 years ago. Having done the bereavement cycle a few too many times kinda moots the exercise. Needs to be done. But it's just a stepping stone.
I wish you'd retract your EDIT3 as I think you really were right the first time. This is definitely an issue of dishonest framing.

Having your own definition of something that differs to some central authorities' definition is not only fine, but something I'd positively encourage.

But when you then go and use that different definition to categorise your product more favourably, and you flagrantly advertise your product using that categorisation, without referencing the fact you're using a non-mainstream definition, that IS dishonest.

Copyright infringement aside, I always tell people that the Kindle ecosystem (from their crappy who-cares approach to their store catalog, to the crappy software in their Kindle products) is a complete disaster. Shoddy formatting is the norm and is only encouraged by the Kindle's shoddy renderer and file format.

Amazon may have kickstarted the ereading device boom, but Kindles surely don't deserve to be as popular as they are any more, especially with a tech-savvy crowd like HN. Other alternatives exist that are much, much better. Anyone who cares about books at all should purchase a device that has native epub support and a good epub renderer. (I.e., not Adobe Digital Editions.) Kobo is a very good option that ticks those boxes, though other alternatives exist. The native iOS Books app on iPad is probably the top tier of native epub renderers though that's obviously not an eink option.
There are sides to a story, and then there's false information. But on the lines of what you're saying, I think that education should probably train students in that style of media literacy: reading both sides of an issue from neutral, partisan and extremist perspectives, and reasoning about how to synthesize them.
I think you're good. The only things I would expand on are:

If you work at a for profit company make sure the "motivation for change" is framed in a way to satisfy the "profit motive" itch somehow. (save time, increase sales, whatever)

Ensure your "proposed solution" is articulated in terms of optimizing the workflow for all users. Try to avoid suggesting things that come down to your personal preferences. Avoid suggesting a specific technological solution. (build this in x because I read on HN ... or ... FAANG company uses x and they're awesome so we should use x)
That's a fair concern and I can't do anything to assuage your suspicion besides to give you the prompt and allow you or others to generate more. I had to cherry pick slightly in order to provide meaningful commentary, but here are 13 more I just now generated with temperature of 0.9 and the prompt from the article:

1. “A humble man is not an angry man.”

2. “A Judge is a law student who marks his own homework.”

3. “Value is what people are willing to pay for it. Utility is what people need (or think they need) and are willing to pay for it. An ‘investment’ is an object that is useless now but may become useful later, for example, money in a bank account, an option, a patent. When utility and value coincide, you have a good investment.”

4. “If a book about failure doesn’t sell there is failure in it”

5. “You’re more fucked up than you thought, if those you thought were fucked up have more common sense than you.”

6. “Envy is worse than compliments. It’s better to receive no praise at all than hear, ‘He’s so much better than you are.'”

7. “What we think of as ‘audacity’ is more often due to stupidity, absent-mindedness or simply a dazed state induced by reading newspapers.”

8. “The true measure of a person’s intelligence is how well they respond to a crisis, and not how they avoid it”

9. “No, it’s not the ideal of beauty, but rather the lack of practicality, that makes

10. “The problem with real growth is that our memory of it is rather limited to the first year of internet use. It gets fuzzy much after that…”

11. “Don’t respect knowledge, respect the knowledgeable”

12. “Engineers: master of anti-fragility. They get stronger with stressors.”

13. “Engineers get stronger with stressors. Non-engineers get weaker with stress

There is no science in these decisions they are purely political at this point.

This virus never was as bad as people thought it would be but governors are unable to admit that because to admit that would be to admit they ruined lives for no reason.

> the cost of shifting the things you care most about entirely

Wow, I never heard it articulated that way, but that’s exactly what it is. In 2015, after dodging the EM role for half a decade, my manager left, and there was no one else, so I had to step up. I was below average because I never stopped caring about the code. Luckily for my team, I left the company after eight months.

Now, having been the senior tech person in a startup for the last four years, I feel the fatigue from churning out code (I’ll sketch out a design over a few minutes, and then have to spend days building it), and it’s obvious that the only way to get a better ROI on my time is to lead and/or delegate. For the first time in my career, that feels exciting. I still care too much about tech to be a good manager, but I feel my mindset shifting.
These assumptions all break down once other publishers enter the market though. If the work is public domain, then finding reviews of the general content is likely much easier and less useful than a review of how this edition has been put together.

Home baked: eat fresh use the leftovers for puddings, or blend and freeze and use as breadcrumbs for cooking.

Of course there are many excellent artisan producers everywhere too...

This is of course absolutely true, and I did say that there is some merit to the goals of GDPR. It is merely that in adding this extra work, little is gained. Let me expand a bit, it was one-liner at the end.

My school in fact had my contact details from way before GDPR was a thing. Recently, they were forced to write to confirm that they were allowed to continue contacting me. If I had not responded, they would be compelled to delete my information.

So if I'd missed the message, I would unknowingly be disconnected from further communications.

And what is to be gained from this? All the risks of someone hacking the school system are the same, someone could still spam everyone, and so on. Why not just have an opt-out system, defaulting to stay-on-the-list? Then people who care to be removed can do so, but we can assume quite confidently that most alumni of a school want to remain in contact.

It just smells like someone had a use case they were thinking of that perhaps made sense to have a default-remove, but they ended up imposing it on everyone.
Borges's library can't contain itself because it is of a strictly finite size: the books are only 410 pages, or whatever, and so while astronomically large, the total number of sequences is finite. His point was that for any sub-book-sized claim, there would be another book contradicting it, if only through prefixing "it is not true that" or something.

His Book of Sand would, however, appear to be vulnerable to diagonalization.

A year or two before that you had Judith Miller at the New York Times uncritically helping the American government start a war on false pretexts. And more than a century before then, American newspapers were hard at work starting the Spanish-American War for bullshit reasons.
When people get philosophical about this, they are generally trying to avoid materialism and thus not thinking in the terms I am about to use, but I wonder how investment fits in with that attitude.

From one perspective your money can sit idle in a brokerage account, from another it is put to use by someone else.

You could take out capital gains and dividends, and spend them, leaving your starting balance the same. That starting balance could continue making you money.

In other words there are ways to imagine money never spent, sitting in an account, that isn't worthless.

The prior probability was always low. And it is not as if any of the followup experiments or surveys have reported much better results, you know. A charitable assessment of past LSD microdosing experiments in humans, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/08/11/384412 https://harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1... https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00213-018-5119-... https://www.gwern.net/docs/nootropics/2019-bershad.pdf , might be that "the evidence is consistent with scattered small benefits which do not line up with the large effects claimed in self-report data or the microdosing community's claims".

This doesn't much change the summary. Even at face-value (though you have to wonder about losing 80% of their data), what functional changes does some transient blood serum increases in BDNF cause, and why would some chemical results noticeably change one's assessment of the experimental evidence reported so far? It will be much more interesting to read the other data, which, however, remains unknown: "assessment of mood, cognition, empathy, and creativity that will be reported elsewhere." (That's from the pain paper reporting this study. Apparently they intend to salami-slice this study into at least 3 papers.)

Act 3 Scene 1 of Hamlet, by William Shakespeare:

Teenage rebellion is often “rational but dumb”, in the sense of being an understandable but unskillfully directed protest against actual injustices.

If you take off the “teenager” lens and imagine that you’re witnessing the behavior of an adult who is being denied every variety of personal choice, while being pushed and browbeaten into spending their time in activities that don’t earn them money or status, the behaviors seem almost reasonable.

Just to take one example, if you were forced to wake up at 5:30 AM to get on a bus to sit in chairs for 7 hours listening to mediocre lectures, got in serious trouble if you took more than 5 minutes to move between rooms, had to ask permission to use the rest room, and that’s just what happens before you get home and have a new sequence of orders and chores issued to you ... then you would rebel.

> It is my opinion that by not warning us first (ex. "please remove X which violates Heroku's acceptable use policy") that Heroku actually violated their own terms of service.

They clearly never read the Heroku terms of service which have this at the top:

>If you are found to be in violation of our policies at any time, as determined by Heroku in its sole discretion, we may warn you or suspend or terminate your account

Literally Heroku says that they may terminate you with no warning.

Aside from getting rid of decades of language cruft, mutability, etc, one thing I doubt Node will ever have is a fairly unified ecosystem with a dominant framework like Phoenix.

I migrated the code base for my last startup from Node to Rails at the end of 2015, then from Rails to Phoenix at the beginning of 2016. Pretty much all of that Elixir + Phoenix 1.1 code is still fine today. There haven't been any breaking language changes and the most arduous part of upgrading Phoenix to the current version would be the front-end—replacing Brunch with Webpack and removing Bootstrap. Other than that it's just a few lines of code.

The Rails app is slightly more dated but still fairly trivial to update. Most of the gems still do things in the same way and there's generally a clear way to go. The JS app on the other hand, is a pretty depressing mess of broken dependencies and multiple libraries I was using have dramatically changed their APIs.

For me, productivity and ease of maintenance matter much more than popularity does when picking a tech stack.

Amazon has always been forward-thinking, and they ran at a loss for decades to build up a trillion dollar business. I really don't think short-term thinking is what's causing them to tear it down right now.

I have no insider information, but I rather suspect that either:

1) it either got out-of-control to where it would cost billions of dollars to address

2) that there's some organizational dysfunction to where they're not competent to address it.

Or something similar. Those sorts of problems are tough. Cultures, incentive structures, and organizational design issues are slower and harder to resolve than just about anything else, and the theory for how to fix them is not well-developed. Sometimes you try something, and it crashes-and-burns.

Since the COVID lockdown in February, we've mostly switched over to part-baked bread rolls, individually packaged and baked on demand - 3 minutes to heat the oven, 10 minutes baking, and you've got a fresh warm roll, and most importantly, it has a crisp crust.

It's a low labour medium between baking your own bread and buying bread almost every day, which is what I used to do. In fact I used buying bread as an excuse to get me out of the house when I used to work from home.

I was surprised by this, since I seem to recall some products earlier. For example Wikipedia says Garmin was founded in 1989 and had products in the 90s.

What I do remember, other than the obvious part that ubiquitous connectivity wasn't there yet, is that those products sucked compared to today. And that fits in with the 2000 action that allowed more accurate GPS to be used by the public.

Though even in 2007 or so I remember my phone gps sucking. It took a long time to get a fix and didn't have hinting from cell tower triangulation or sending nearby wifi APs to a server somewhere.
