I had a similar email address for many years. I kept putting in tickets asking if we could change it, or at least create an alias sans-apostrophe, but never got a reply.

Eventually they came to me and asked if I'd mind changing it. I pointed out I'd requested this roughly 10 times by that point, and we discovered their ticket system had been eating it.

It takes all posts that were posted on a certain day (based on your local timezone) and shows these posts ordered by their score. To keep it clean only posts with a score of 50 or higher are shown. (I might change this number though, if people would like to see less popular posts)

E.g. the main page is always 'yesterday', so for me it shows the posts that were posted between 00:00 and 23:59 on Wednesday, but if its already Friday where you are it will show the top posts of Thursday.
Ask HN: How do I make programming less frustrating?
I find I spend a lot of time procrastinating on the bits that are frustrating to deal with. For example, I try to make a little change that should take 10 minutes, but it ends up taking hours, and I procrastinate even more in dread of dealing with it. What is a good way to reduce the frustration, whether it's psychological or technical?
Why not? Reveal all the choices the contestant didn't make, one at a time, slowly increasing the odds of a prize. This adds to the suspense. It's used all the time.
I actually agree, and have thought so for a long time, that the discussion about abortion is very much about the meaning of the term life.

One side is convinced that a human life starts at the conception. And if you think that, it is very simple: Abortion is taking a human life, i.e., killing a person. Then nothing else matters. We can bring up all social, economic, feminist, psychological, health, etc. arguments in the world, all in vain. We all agree that we don't go around and kill people, so if you think that life starts at the conception, there's nothing more to argue about.

So in this case, we disagree only about meaning. The only way to have fruitful discussion would be to talk about what we mean by a human life. Then I'm not sure that is possible when one side's main argument is "the Bible says so". But there's nothing inconsistent or contradictory that could be resolved between the premises "a human life starts at conception" and "taking a human life is always wrong", and the conclusion "abortion is wrong".

Many plastics used in construction tend to have much longer lifespans (years to decades) so their recycleability, whilst it shouldn't be dismissed, is a less immediate concern.

E.g., I'm adding PVC cable and pipe ducting in various areas of my house, and am using polycarbonate discs as spacers for shelf uprights on an uneven wall. Both will stay in situ at least until I move (which I have no plans to do at present).
What happened in 1951?
This is an insightful comment.

I would argue that most people don't have an aversion to the idea of unions, but more to their practical application (at least in the US). Just like any large organization, things can go off the rails and move far away from the original intended purpose.

But at the same time, you only really hear about the bad unions. The ones that fairly represent their members and partner with management to find common ground (obviously this is dependent on good management as well)? Those don't get talked about much.
After this I already zoned out:

"Every community deteriorates over time. Every community gets new members who don’t understand the rules (or the rules just change), and things just deteriorate."

People change, communities change, they grow apart. To call it deterioration is blatant narcissism and failure to look at the situation objectively without judgement.
You can ToString() an enum and Enum.Parse a string to an enum. Or are you talking about pretty printing? You can also create reasonably 'generic' extension methods that will work on 'any' Enum. It's a bit more fiddly but you'd only have to write it once.

That being said, Enums in C# are crap compared to Java.
It doesn't contain my last name and it's not the most unique one in the world (especially in France).
>> One other important aspect is Metal implementation is much simpler than a Vulkan one – more on that later – so in some sense I’d prefer a Metal -> Vulkan wrapper instead of a Vulkan -> Metal.

Read this so often that it seems to be the consensus by now. I used to think "why doesn't Apple just hop on the Vulkan bandwagon and everyone will be happily united under one API", but given that Metal came before Vulkan, and it still has better DX, Apple was right.

What excuse does Vulkan have being the second iteration on the same concept, but still be more tedious?
Just to clarify, Concorde used afterburners for take-off and to get to supersonic speeds. When at speed it was able to supercruise without the afterburners.

What this meant in reality was that anyone in South West London (near to Heathrow but not necessarily just west of Heathrow) had this part of the day when the noise was terrible. You could be outside, sat down enjoying beers and all conversation would have to stop until this thing went overhead. Ear splitting was the word and there was no doubt the plane was Concorde.

Further down the road in the West Country the Concorde (there was only one!) would be able to be heard but it would not be announcing its presence and demanding that you stop everything that you were doing to look at it. At this stage it was high altitude but not on the supersonic super-cruise.

Then, over the Bristol Channel, Concorde would hit the afterburners good and proper to get up to full speed. People in Devon, Cornwall, South Wales and the south of Ireland would hear the boom albeit not at full intensity. It was still a 'boom' though.

If you look at the map and the size of the Bristol Channel then you can get an idea as to how big of an overland corridor you would need. It is huge, even for somewhere like Tibet.
I'm not too sure about that... Just to clarify, I'm referring to the burst limit, not the concurrency one.
Ask HN:What do you think of currently available Fixed asset management software?
* Fixed Asset Management Software/Enterprise Asset Management Software - To manage business assets like devices, furniture, machinery, licenses, ticketing etc.

I feel they are clunky, difficult to setup & use. Need like 1-2 months of time, heavy user training, customization is difficult, costly. They either serve IT teams or Finance teams and hardly both/all teams that manage these assets. No digitization of related processes and Mobile apps are funny as well.

I think there is a scope for a cloud based, affordable, easy to use software (similar to freshdesk for sales). What do you guys think?

If there are some good ones, please point me. Thank you!

If you add and subtract one person from the population, your effect on the population is neutral.

Portugal have needle exchange programs and places with health practitioners for people to shoot drugs, this last point was very controversial when it was implemented. Nowadays there are even mobile sites for this: https://idpc.net/alerts/2019/07/inside-portugal-s-first-mobi...
Gotta say Hackerdaily is impressive. Where you pre-load the article for some sites, is that RSS you're using or something else?

Also any chance you'd share the source for this?

It's interesting reading this because I've recently been trying to wean myself off Reddit for the similar reasons, and one of the communities I have used to replace it has been HN -- because (in my experience) HN generally tends to avoid the issues in the way discussions play out characterised by this article.

It's worth remembering that a forum completely devoid of 'bad arguments' is realistically never going to happen. I guess (as the author notes) it's a matter of 'personal thresholds'.
I'm not sure what your point was? It sounds like you want to see links to stuff like

"Show HN: Here's my first program"

10 PRINT "My Name"
20 GOTO 10

I guess I always assumed Hacker "News" means it's something semi news worthy. A "Show HN" that's some new programmer implementing their first version of X even though X has been around for years isn't "news" unless they have some novel approach.

I had the exact same problem. There are a lot of interesting discussions, but its way easier to distinguish the interesting from the useless discussions when they're done instead of ongoing.
I find that I read more carefully and focused when the discussion are already crystallized, instead of just browsing the latest discussions for some dopamine.
Stories need to be good, and that's a problem. Right now, the HN community is voting up more "pop science" to drive people to paywalls. I don't know if its a troll farm or a side revenue, but the number of nytimes.com, businessinsider.com, etc. stories keeps rising.

While this may represent a failure of those systems to adequately cope with data outside of typical ranges, your anecdote is orthogonal to the notion that the system linked in this thread did not appear to place dark-skinned women firmly within those ranges, and thus represents a form of institutional bias, experienced as racism.

Your inconvenient experience differs at a material level, because as a white-skinned man, many other systems are optimised for you.
I don't know how to "explain" intuition, but usually I imagine not myself but some kind of geometric shape in front of a mirror (say a square with the edges labelled).
If I try to visualize how light bounces, it is intuitive that in a mirror I'm seeing the light bouncing from mirror -> me in the proper way and in a photo, I'm looking at the shape directly with a camera (I'm where the mirror was).
Thank you! I mainly build it to learn GraphQL and Postgres for myself. But if people are interested, I could share the source in the future.
the Netherlands has the reverse, we have last name prefixes (Van, De, Van Der, Van De, ...) which are separate and when sorting on last name they shouldn't be counted, because de V and D become very crowded then.
The author is actually still reading HN: https://sealedabstract.com/posts/metapolitics/
On the other hand, it's the diversity of the users that make HN so much interesting. I've happened upon comments made from neurosurgeons, experts in carpeting, electrical engineers, naval architects, aerospace engineers etc. Where else on the Internet can you find such a diversified group of knowledgeable individuals where you can talk in a civilized manner? For me HN is the most significant place on the web and we must cherish it for what it offers.

The energy and effort required to collect, clean and re-use glass is much higher than for plastic. Glass doesn't decompose in a landfill and has limits on how often it can be re-used as well.

The detergents, water and heat needed for cleaning alone have a higher environmental impact than the few drops of oil needed to make a plastic bottle.

Plastic waste is a big problem for sure, but switching to glass is not the solution.
Not saying it is. Don't know DX12 either. But back when I was programming on Windows I hated its API's, so I would probably not be a big user of DX12 on Mac anyway.

That's false. First of all, if there's actually a fire it's fine. Second of all, if the speaker was under the actual belief there was a fire even if there wasn't actually a fire, it's fine. Only if the person yelling fire intended to cause panic would there be a case against the person. And proving this would be difficult in a court of law.
I got rid of twitter for exactly the reasons you mentioned and the for what it did to my inner well-being. There are some accounts that I've enjoyed following and even after leaving the platform I still use the RSS feed of nitter.net for these to browse these posts. No doubt that if I'd sign up again even with an intention not to post myself and only to lurk, I'd get sucked into toxic discussions within less than a week. nitter gives me the distance I need to consume the content (on my terms) without risking addiction or potentially contributing to the toxicity myself.
Wholly dependent on your environment. I don't see a case very often where I'm at
>I'm not anti-science and I understand the need for animal testing to reduce risks to humans but this raises serious ethical concerns where no such risk to humans exists.

What concerns? We already test on animals merely for cosmetics...
They already had backends for desktop, mobile, and console APIs. I imagine them not having to do anything major to support the new API in their engine helped. That being said, Metal is nice to use form a tooling perspective too.
You're then talking about 'meaning' in a deeper sense than just the arbitrary definitions of words, so it's no longer a purely semantic dispute. (Note that the author characterizes semantic disputes as disputes over arbitrary definitions.)
There are pockets for women's clothing?
Yes. If we used plastic once and then burnt it it's probably better for CO2 than reusing glass.
This place is one of the most urbane communities in which I’ve participated. It can still get bit “catty,” but nothing that even comes close to what I’ve experienced (and contributed to -mea culpa) in the past.

Will I stay forever? Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell. I have left many communities; some, in which I enjoyed some status. They all hurt, but I have always gotten to the point where I no longer miss them. I barely ever visit Facebook. I have to maintain an account, because I’m a senior figure in a tech group there, but I find the community to be a bit corrosive to my personal sense of well-being. So, months ago, I stopped doing anything more than brief daily checks for posts in the group. I pretty much never read Twitter.

In fact, this is really the only social media in which I participate. I have many accounts, but most are there as “placeholders.”

I do try to be a “good citizen,” by following the rules and walking away, when I feel like all I would bring is darkness, and I will occasionally remove or revise comments that I feel are not productive.

I know that I come across as a “stuffed shirt,” but one reason is that it’s important for me to be fairly careful about what I put out there. I have been...pithy, in the past.

I’m also fairly good at apologizing. That’s because I get a lot of practice.
Anyway. It seems to me that WebGPU will lead to a consolidation of these different technologies in the medium to long term.

Building internal secrets detection: how SAP scans Git repos for secrets
I've always done well by being judged and rewarded as an individual. I've been on teams with people who were lazy or entitled or just bad at their job and didn't care enough to change. I don't want negotiate as a block with those people because if get less of I did. And frankly, I'd rather not work with them at all, because they're just a pain in the arse to deal with.

I think unions make sense when every worker is basically the same (on a production line for instance). That's because you don't have any leverage otherwise.

Right now, my leverage is "give me my bonus or I'll go elsewhere and the only other guy on this team can't code or troubleshoot for shit and takes every nfl game day off sick". At best, a union would make me share my bonus with him. At worst it would insist he got a bigger one as he's been in this role for years (hint, that's a BAD thing) and I'm newer.

Correct, glass needs hardened containers and slower acceleration.
Why is this getting downvoted so heavily? It is totally true. If there are issues with the production, this will show only in big numbers. One anecdote saying "but I hade one and nothing happened" does literally say nothing about the problem.
I usually take a REST-like approach when dealing with people on the internet. With most people I just don't keep track of who they are beyond the end of the conversation because it's a waste of time. If we get to discuss again, I will judge that new discussion on its own merit.

Interestingly, this way of thinking has lead me to stop reading user names a lot of the time.
I did further research, and two concepts that anyone stumbling upon this post might be interested to explore further are the Zettelkasten and the Commonplace Book

https://mentalpivot.com/zettelkasten-101-a-reading-list-for-...
Yes, my personal conclusion is that downvotes are not useful and the functionality is usually best removed.

All the more so when they are used to, in effect, remove comments by making downvoted comments more difficult to read.

Now, I can understand the idea of making it easier to navigate through many comments by crowd-sourcing a metric of each comment's 'value', but in practice this is extremely difficult to do while preserving the diversity of views. It usually ends up being the "tyranny of the majority".

Which is absolutely bizarre to me because most of my experience with Python has been with people who are effectively scientists who don't give a rats-ass about good coding practices and yet I rarely had issues with receiving the wrong type.

Don't get me wrong though, I spent the first 10 years of programming with C and Java so I understand the comfort that a statically typed language provides. I just haven't found it to be a big enough issue over the past 7-8 years of programming in Python to really complain about it.

Frankly, if you were to ask me what the top 3 sources of my headaches in Python are, number 1, 2, and 3 would be, receiving a None value when I expected something else; but that's an issue with most languages.
PS5 drives must also be pre-approved by Sony, supposedly due to strict hardware requirements, like 5.5GB/s[1] sustained bandwidth.

>For example, it would have been perhaps useful to filter out all of the "Funny" replies on Slashdot

The interface did indeed allow you to do this. At least, I remember it being there in about 2001.

Additionally, the metadata on voting was particularly important for meta-moderation which other platforms don't really have. Users were (at random) shown a comment that you've voted on and your vote. They then said whether your vote was fair or not, based on what they see.

Stepping back a bit - the most important difference between the Slashdot system (vs something like Reddit) was that votes were much more limited on Slashdot. Not everyone had modpoints (votes) and you only got a handful at a time. This allowed meta-moderation to actually have some impact - if you continuously abused modpoints by downvoting someone as troll just because you disagreed with them then you wouldn't get banned - just you'd get less votes in the future. The system was a little opaque and I've not used the site in years but that was my understanding back then, it may have changed since then.

While it's a bit complex I think the fundamental idea is very good. Ok making a distinction between informative vs insightful never seemed that useful to me, but certainly allowing people to hide "Funny" content definitely has value because funny one liners tend to crowd out other content by sheer volume.
