There are a couple of things there already that are not fake mockups but real world examples of things I do:

I'm not a fan of fake mockups. I strongly prefer real world examples and I'm unlikely to ever do any outright fake mockups.

I'm basically inventing a new approach, so my methods aren't going to readily fit within existing mental models and frameworks for how community development gets done. Over time, as more content goes up, hopefully it will get easier for people to get a sense of what I'm trying to do here.
It looks nice but the very load, stuck audio when loading anything makes it very annoying. I'd advice turning audio down in case it also happens on your platform (Chrome/mac here).
Well, on Windows, you just move the cursor over the group and then you get a detailed list, so you still do the same with the same number of clicks, almost the same amount of motion, and less screen space. I think it's a pretty good UX.
This seems like a reasonable try but there are some problems here too. What if you're quoting someone else who called him (in speech) Mr de Zwart? Or when you find out that it's correct to use the Emperor of Japan's full name in some circumstances, but extremely insulting in another?

I think at some point you abandon looking for a general solution, and employ an expert editor who can advise you on the right style. If you're writing for a small town newspaper far away from the Netherlands and get this wrong because you don't have that expert editor, that's OK, you tried. But if you're Facebook and you have 10 million Dutch customers and you get this wrong setting the policy for the most prominent few words on the whole site, you can afford to have better standards than that.
I'm afraid you're fishing for assertions in my comment which are not actually there. For one thing, I make no remarks about any writing system at all, let alone any specific timeline regarding the development of literacy.

Psh I don't think that's true. I think you will have trouble if you basically match every single other tech person in every attribute - ie. if you lean really hard into the stereotypes.
This article screws around with de Zwart's name so much while complaining about another organization's screwing around of his last name is really something.
The way I see it is particles go all possible ways until you narrow things down with a measurement or something along those lines - an interaction that fixes where the thing is. (So in the two slit experiment with one particle it goes through both slits until its position is pinned down by hitting the screen.)

In the entanglement experiment described the particles have angular momentum every which way until the angular momentum of one is pinned down by measurement whereupon the other one is also pinned down to the opposite by conservation of momentum. There is still a sort of spooky action at a distance when that happens or perhaps a splitting of the multiverse 'at a distance' into many worlds where the spins point different ways.
What can I say. Sometimes you're not working with the blessed standard data structures for which those algorithms are typically written.

It's never a continued guarantee, but all the DRM'ed stuff (movies, songs) I bought on the iTunes Music Store in 2009 are still playable today.
Huh, companies like Disney would anyway heavily self-censor the content they produce. I mean it is Disney's prerogative to produce cliched pap most of the time. To think Big media's content will be censored by aggregators, however, is hilarious.
I think you're overlooking the quote I was replying to. The situation the author describes is like this:

Scientist A and Scientist B both produce results X and Y respectively that are exactly equally valuable to the world. However, Scientist A happens to already be well-known for other work. What we observe is that A will get more accolades for X than B gets for Y. Not because X is more valuable, but solely because people assume that since famous scientist A did X, it must be worth more.

Google Search: Surprisingly smart in some ways, surprisingly dumb in others.

And this sort of thing doesn't just make a difference in indexing, but also in other places like analytics – Google Analytics will see a page with a slash and no slash separately, for example, which makes it hard to get an accurate picture of what's performing.

You can definitely get a deeper appreciation of a language and get extra decoding tools for learning related languages when you learn about the history and etymology of words.

As a romance language speaker, knowing about greek and latin particles helped me greatly in learning english of all languages, just because of the sheer amount of appropriations english does.

Something that sticks with me from my early japanese learning after all these years is that, for example, "あ" (japanese "a") is a stylization of "安" (pronounced "an"). This helps make an association similar to how some kids books overlay hiragana over pictures of things that start with that letter, e.g. overlaying "い" (i) around a strawberry (ichigo). There are tons of similar examples in both japanese and chinese (pronunciation prefixes being a common tool used by chinese learners)

A different word order, any different word order, changes language learning from "learn a bunch of substitutions for my native language" to "learn a completely new system". There's a huge mental overhead for the latter.
> In case of driving, why can't individuals choose which side of the road to use for themselves?

It not a choice of side it's a choice of whether to use the road at all, those who agreed to use it before managed fine and those who are choosing not to use it now are perfectly free to do so.

> Who is going to pay for that?

The same people who are already paying for Furlough and all the other financial safety nets that are already in place at the moment.

> In a situation where a large part of the population is "taking their chances", those who "want to prioritize virus avoidance" must avoid all contact with others. That's quite a different trade off than handwashing, masks, and social distance.

The requirement to stop all contact is already effectively there for those at risk, and the demands aren't stopping at handwashing, masks, and social distance as those don't appear to be working; instead indefinite lockdowns, blanket bans on household mixing and abolition of major sections of peoples lives and livelihoods are being demanded.
I’m confused as to why I’m getting downvoted on this.
I’m not being critical of the US, just recognizing the differences in how the legal system operates vs other countries.

In Canada, for example: potential lawsuits must be signed off by a judge who believes the case has merit. This means that you cannot decide to bury someone in legal paperwork simply because you have the money to do so: you must also have a reasonable complaint.

Yes: I skipped over the fact that the US has arrangements with other countries and therefore there are other countries where you can still do this, but the US’s legal system makes it easy.
That was a great write up explaining about not seeing the forest for the trees. However, it is still infuriating that we're getting these leetcode questions in interviews to see how much you can hack and optimize a toy problem. (As if you had lots of time to think about it and work through it)

You'll see most of them already released publicly. And people like @spankalee will call you a hater when you start calling Google out. And then clueless web devs will complain how "Safari is holding the web back" even though Safari and Mozilla can barely hold back the floodgates of poorly specified standards that are being pushed through at neck-breaking speed.

Wow did I grossly mis-guesstimate the total number of living Nobel laureates.

I assumed there were so few that even world-class, elite universities would have in the low single digits, so that adding two would rocket Stanford (or any university) to near the top.

But there are some universities that have 50 or even over 100 depending how you count.
I meant languages as a whole. To my knowledge no one has ever looked at the market and said: "Well, we obviously lack an interpreted functional language with a polymorphic type system, call-by-value evaluation and manual memory management. Let's make one."

I would define legacy as when the IT system drives the business.

When working in government it was really obvious when you’d find these systems, as they were usually modeled after a paper process. The organization usually outgrows the process, then they start building shims to adapt.

Newer legacy is harder, as the paper processes were usually better than whatever nonsense was cooked up circa 1997-2007. Paper process people almost always understood the business better than their successors.

Conclusions from 2500 hours of COVID19 research
Not every single individual all the time, but mass of people generally moves that way. I dont mean it in derogatory "they are all shallow consumerist" way.

1.) There are too many people who dont have strong preference and thus go for salary because why not. Or follow friends. The higher salaries also go with bigger social status, often better negotiating position. There are people who do need money. And yes, there are many people who measure worth in salary too.

2.) Historically, people move that way. When programming turned out to be good job, students started to be way more interested in that. When you look at which majors students pick, they generally go for the ones that sound practical and earn money. Yes, some people go for antropology or history of art, but not nearly as many of them.

People moved to San Francisco in the first place because they followed opportunities. People moved out of Detroit because they followed opportunities.
The original prototype (posted to HN under an account that I forget my password to and didn't register an e-mail with, doh!) was a plain-text mash up of Fakespot (legitimately good products) and CamelCamelCamel (is it really a good deal?).

I was stubborn about designing a logo, adding images and incorporating retailers beyond Amazon, but I eventually capitulated and made good on the constructive criticism that I received. (I'm not sure why I was so stubborn about those things.)

My biggest breakthrough was discovering that real reviews are just as problematic as fake ones. People rate products in weird ways, e.g. This purchase makes me feel safe...5 stars, or, This product is great but I hate the company's politics, 1 star.

Automating the detection of these quirky characteristics is a technical challenge beyond my capabilities, however. I didn't count on so much manual legwork as I expanded the project.
It's in the works. I privately tested it on Twitter users but it wasn't giving the results I expected (for example, classifying Trump as an INTP most likely.) It seems the general writing style on Twitter is different than Reddit which may explain it. In the worst case, I may need to build my own custom dataset scraping the Twitter profiles of known celebrities and their MBTI types from personality-database.com and train a separate model.

Of course, I may simply repurpose this same model for Twitter once the current excitement dies down (to minimize 502 errors since I'm on a cheap hosting plan.)

From the discussions I've had over the years with the primary 9front maintainer, the balance of adding new features and complexity and the fact that ANTS is most effective in combination with the Fossil file server which base 9front removed from its distribution means that it goes in a different direction than 9front's goals. Some software which is part of ANTS such as 'hubfs' (9p muxfile/message queue) may be integrated into 9front via a different author's rewrite as 'mq' and some other ideas from ANTS may eventually result in 9front code and changes, but the ANTS patchset for 9front was around for several years and didn't attract enough users to create any groundswell of demand for integration into the base.
Launching on HN is more like RoastMe on Reddit. Launching here is great for feedback but not the way to get paying customers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem

"A collective action problem or social dilemma is a situation in which all individuals would be better off cooperating but fail to do so because of conflicting interests between individuals that discourage joint action. The collective action problem has been addressed in political philosophy for centuries, but was most clearly established in 1965 in Mancur Olson's The Logic of Collective Action.

Problems arise when too many group members choose to pursue individual profit and immediate satisfaction rather than behave in the group's best long-term interests. Social dilemmas can take many forms and are studied across disciplines such as psychology, economics, and political science. Examples of phenomena that can be explained using social dilemmas include resource depletion, low voter turnout, and overpopulation. The collective action problem can be understood through the analysis of game theory and the free-rider problem, which results from the provision of public goods. Additionally, the collective problem can be applied to numerous public policy concerns that countries across the world currently face."

The part of the wiki that deals with this specific problem (vehicles) is unfortunately broken for some reason, but, eh, we get the point.

This is sort of table stakes in the SEO world, not end all be all. First you must get these technical details ironed out, and then from there you have to focus on two things that differentiate you from competitors who also have the bases covered:
1. Backlinks - I cannot overstate how much a quality backlink can do.
2. Good content/utility

That's pretty much it but it's obviously easier said than done.
Here's a layman's explanation of why "hidden local variables" theory doesn't match experiments:

https://www.wired.com/2014/01/bells-theorem/

In other words, modeling particle pairs as having matching static hidden "meta data" in them doesn't work. They do act as if there is instantaneous communication between the particles, but in a limited way that prevents us from using them for instant communication. Quantum mechanics is a weird tease, having magical properties that always serve up loopholes when we try to leverage the magic for real-world benefits. The quantum universe seems built by insurance lawyers who are masters at screwing consumers with fine-print when they go to make a claim.

>Code has a clear context (variables and functions in scope) and a clear goal (return type).

At the top level, sure, but if you have a more complex proof term this breaks completely down. You'd have to evaluate potentially arbitrary expressions to determine the types and furthermore there is nothing to indicate the 'human' rather than mechanical structure of the proof since metavariables are just completely gone. It's just not my experience that I could look at a complex proof term (where I don't already know the underlying proof) and figure it out without using an interactive prover.

>Add or remove a tactic, and the rest of the proof can be completely invalidated

Just like if you randomly removed a part of a proof in term form it wouldn't typecheck anymore? 'stupid' tactics are just as localized as inserting the corresponding term with metavariables . If you're talking about how automation tactics are heavily context dependent, this is more of a fundamental quality of automation rather than tactics. Automation done via reflection suffers from the same issue.

The the name de Zwart appears inconsistently capitalized throughout the article.

If you do a matched-case search in the body text, de Zwart
appears 3 times, while De Zwart occurs 7 times outside of quotation marks, and other locations (like at the beginning of a sentence) where English rules will capitalize a name.

I believe to follow proper Dutch capitalization, it should be similar to, for example:

Being a digital rights activist, de Zwart knows this discussion very well, so he starts to meticulously log his attempts to get clarity.

However, I can't be sure if in Dutch, a lower case pre-surname is capitalized in circumstances when it's used in a sentence vs as a full name.

Without the clarification of rules governing the use of such lower case surnames, I can't be exactly sure whether the capitalization is on purpose or not.
