Launch HN: Commit News – The first helpful news app
Commit News (https://www.commitnews.com)is a first in single-story news aggregation - Scraping 30K+ sources to collect related coverage for any news article you choose or "COMMIT" to. Open the app to see your story's unique coverage over time and across sources.

WHAT IT ISN'T. There are big-name news apps out there; most predict what you'll like, which is weird because it's news, not Old Navy. Commit News is not about predicting. Instead, it's personalizing. You don't need to set up "channels, boards, books" or "collections." You don't have to choose between "politics, lifestyle, local" or "environment." And we don't assume what "you might also like…"

WHY NOW? The idea for Commit News started in my head years ago -- I was tired of being forced to forget news stories that were important to me. I'm a Black, Mexican, female, child of an immigrant who geeks out on the environment. The news industry would probably call my entire existence "special interest," needless to say, the stories I want to follow fall off the front pages pretty quickly.

A couple of months back, while testing, America's shit hit the fan. We're witnessing many stories that feel consequential and unresolved, but the news cycle slows for no man, murder, or pandemic. I sped up development and decided that it needs to be present more than it needs to be perfect.

All feedback is appreciated - listening@commitnews.com

Yes. There are few good stops between the Arduino/VXworks level and the Linux level. There are a lot of devices which need something in between.

Linux in embedded applications tends to come with a vast array of stuff you don't need, too much of which will respond to the network.
Academia (not just, or even especially, in the sciences) is a guild system on those lines, but if you are looking for employment outside of academia, things are a bit different even if you need to go through some part of the academic path for the career entry you are aiming for.
Never used any of it before. In my opinion, so called "lurking" is usually more productive on the internet than directly participating.

Even here on HN, practically anonymous and without an e-mail address tied to my account, I mostly feel that my own contributions just aren't as valuable so instead of contributing I just read.

For almost any service, having to create an account is usually where I stop being interested. Even dismissing the cookie pop up is too much work for a website where I might only be for a short period.

What feels weird about it is that in my generation this seems uncommon. I have absolutely no idea what any of my peers are doing with their lives...
As cloudy as Windows is, it doesn't seem to automatically detect/set that flag (and then you have the problem where people don't want to turn on datasave mode - like how I don't want iOS to only download updates over WiFi because I don't have any, I just want it to download it all over LTE), and getting all your website users to "opt in" to setting it is kind of an exercise in frustration to not automatically be using their bandwidth
It's not just a tiny group. It's the most influential group of 9 people at the very top of an egalitarian system of law. Do they represent all of us? No, not perfectly. They should represent the best of us.

One reason that this study exists is that it's a deliberative body with excellent records. It would be great if longitudinal studies of huge populations existed, but that would require ridiculously expensive (and highly invasive) data acquisition.
...and there would also have to be another huge jump in (mainly single-threaded) computing power to make emulation at native speeds possible in a browser. Those consoles have relatively powerful GPUs and CPUs.
You can download the games directly from archive.org[1], get a DOS emulator from the app store, and run those games slightly more natively than with a browser.

[1] Curiously only some of them, I suppose due to some licensing restrictions?
Not while running, but on reboot. It also makes it possible to produce the new OS image by just applying deltas to the currently-running OS, since the snapshot of the "current" OS is immutable - meaning smaller downloads for your OS updates.
> Many many things in the sphere of alt-right hate speech, attacks on so-called “snowflake SJWs,” dismissal of the metoo movement, tacit endorsement of misogyny, dehumanization of immigrants and more are very widely understood now.

those things are bad in themselves, they are not "one step away."

> It is wrong to hide behind vague claims that because “it’s subjective” we should allow the Overton window to be dragged toward endorsement of hate speech.

If something is in fact hate speech, then it shouldn't be normalized and can be identified as hate speech and condemned for that. We were discussing things that are not hate speech but are associated with it according to certain persons. There are only three cases: something is hate speech, or it is not, or it is debatable whether it is hate speech or not. If it is hate speech, then it can be condemned as such. If it is not hate speech, it doesn't move the Overton window towards hate speech. If it is debatable then it is necessarily a proper object of discourse. None of this involves banning innocuous statements because someone heard a bad person say it somewhere.

> No, I do not think you’ve succeeded in making a case for this point. I am not substituting my association of speech in as an unfair characteristic of a group. That group is doing the association all on their own.

You are responsible for your interpretation, not some other people somewhere else. If your interpretation is correct then you can make that case. Good ideas don't become bad merely because they exist in the thoughts and speech of people who also have bad ideas in their thoughts and speech.

> To me, your comment would be like saying, “Can’t you see how you are defining the KKK as a cross-burning anti-black group? You are letting your association of cross-burning as ‘bad’ lead you to ‘subjective’ judgment that the group is bad. Maybe it’s just an unusual social group and we should all be more open-minded.”

This is a bizarre misreading of what I said. The kkk are racist by their own admission. I don't need to associate anything. This is more like you saying that being a fan of the Atlanta Falcons is a dog whistle for racism because everyone knows Georgia is full of racists.

> When hate speech is slightly watered down and dressed up as legit inquiry it is even worse. It attempts to legitimize it like a Trojan Horse to establish unequivocally unacceptable beliefs as if they deserve equal footing in some “let’s all be above the fray and act like more evolved rational agents” disingenuous claptrap.

unequivocally unacceptable beliefs are not the issue here. We are discussing statements that are unacceptable only because they associated with a bad group, not because they are bad themselves.
The minimum wage makes it impossible for employers to hire people at the bottom end of the productivity scale. It makes no sense to hire someone who only produces $10/hr of value if you have to pay them $15/hr. This makes it harder for people with little experience or training to find any job at all. A better solution would be to eliminate the minimum wage and make up the difference with income redistribution, such as a negative income tax for those in the lowest bracket.
In Spack https://github.com/spack/spack), we encounter this when users install packages in deep paths within their home directories, or in deep paths within shared project directories (e.g., in NFS or Lustre on HPC machines). So we patch installed scripts that have long shebangs.

We want installed packages to work exactly as built, with the right versions of dependencies, and we don't want to rely on the user getting their environment right to do that. Spack users may install several versions of python or other interpreters. This ensures that scripts work without a special environment.

There is another use case that is less emphasized here. sbang also lets you pass arbitrarily many arguments on the shebang line. If you do this:

#!/usr/bin/perl arg1 arg2 arg3

At least on Linux, you'll get one argument: "arg1 arg2 arg3". I think perl gets around this by parsing the shebang line itself, but sbang is more general. You can use it with /usr/bin/env to pass more arguments than would otherwise be allowed.

See https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/ for an extremely comprehensive list of limitations on shebangs.
I would say the early and mid 90s. The iron curtain is gone, economy is going up (without the gaping inequality we have now), and the world was having great hopes on pulling Russian and China into the international community.

Don't you think throwing an epic/unaffordable party is a bit too much?

1. He came home empty handed. This doesn't really mean he won't leave again nor that he will make up for the damage he's done.

2. Why the other brother has to work like a slave with no reward? Not even a promise to change the current affairs. Just the old empty/vague encouragement "what i have is yours <but not now, later...>, we must all work <but actually you work and I watch.. >".

Let's make this a modern story about the financial crisis in 2008. The party guys get bailed out by the hard working people. Big Party?

Fast forward 2021: party guys will be rewarded even more.

What's better, Signal or Telegram?
Completely agree. Ideally these agents would work as very smart proxy servers, so they can work for everybody in a household without futzing around with browser-specific extensions. And such agents must to be completely outside Twitter's control; i.e. they have to be based on scraping, not some API that can be yanked at any time.

Everyone wants to go somewhere or do something as long as they can get others to pay for it.
> Do we need billionaires for our society to function? Is having 100,000,000 USD not enough?

Nobody knows. Maybe yes. Maybe no.

Notice that billionaires can't spend all their money on themselves. They can't exactly buy a billion dollars worth of cheese and eat it all. They can sink whatever they like in to property but realistically they probably only spend a few million dollars on property and the vast bulk of their wealth goes in to directing the economy via shares and real estate.

So if all the billions of dollars was removed from the billionaires they will experience a very modest (potentially no) change in quality of life and there will be far reaching economic consequences because the control structure was just reworked. It is totally unclear if it would be a win or a loss for most people.
I think a better way to think of flutter web is flutter is using the web browser as a graphics layer to create a video game or desktop app, like SDL. It's not attempting to create an html web document.

Also nowadays the dominant computation platform of the world is mobile phones, with most of the world being Android and many with money being iOS. Desktop UIs like the web with custom screen reader & extensions & custom css mod and such are not the P0 priority. I would also imagine it's not the majority of people with these accessibility needs using it either. Desktops are the world of the office worker, middle aged person who's calcified into desktops or other power user types.

It would be hooking into iOS & Android standardized accessibility APIs. I'd imagine it executes far better there, because non-selectable text in UI elements are pretty much platform standard for mobile & desktop apps.

Furthermore in that light I'm guessing that flutter web & desktop are also P2 projects to the P1 flutter mobile projects, and android / material design is P0.
I'm not American, so take this with a grain of salt. I feel like the selfish and cynical thing to do given how the electoral college works if you're not in a swing state is to vote toward the opposite party - Republican in California, Democrat in Tennessee. That way federal politicians will pay more attention to your state's issues. Reading the news it seems like California and New York's issues are in part because theres no chance they help the incumbent party get reelected.
My thoughts exactly, I understand why people long for the old text UIs, but this sort of thing was never pleasant nor cutting edge. It's like they're aiming at maintaining the first terrible skins people were creating after seeing the Aqua demo and missing the point of it.
> But the borders vietnam shares with those countries are hard borders. You need a visa and pass a government controlled checkpoint when you enter.

As someone who lives in Vietnam, I think your conception of the hardness of the borders is mistaken. The land border with Vietnam-China is 1,300 kilometers long. That's longer than Germany's combined border with the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France.

"The 1,400km border between Vietnam and China is extremely porous, with a complicated geography characterised by mountains and rivers – especially in the north – that makes it difficult to monitor cross-border traffic, according to Mimi Vu, an independent Vietnamese-American anti-trafficking expert based in Saigon."

> Europe (mainland) has no internal borders. There are no checkpoints, customs agents or chokepoints between countries.

Yes it does. Germany closed its borders on March 16.

https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/germany-introduces-bor...

France, Spain, and Italy also closed their borders. Something like a dozen countries in the EU closed their borders.
20 years ago I would have considered the idea of being able to play every dos game ever made directly in a browser without waiting science fiction.

I guess it will happen eventually; I think the biggest concern with preserving games now is the amount of functionality provided server side that is lost (maybe forever) when the game company switches their servers off.

I've always wondered if there shouldn't be a VSCode or other plugin that allows you to automatically throw in a bunch of printfs up a dependency chain to dump vars etc, and remove them just as easily.

Standalone emulators are continuing to make progress for each of these platforms, but there's still quite some way to go. Once we get those to a level where most games are playable without issues at full speed porting them to the browser would theoretically be possible (no idea about the speed hits though), though I don't expect that to happen for several more years.

As for the Internet Archive itself, they recently set up their Internet Arcade: Turbo Edition [1], a collection of arcade games from the 90s and early 00s that cover the most demanding emulated games playable in the browser on the site (apart from Dottori-kun, of course).

WWI and WWII were a couple decades apart.

Then American developed the bomb and started playing world police and we haven’t had one since.

Nobody said “evil East” except you.

I didn’t say America are the good guys. Just that I think America’s actions have prevented WWIII or anything close.
I find the agile ritualist to be one of the primary sources of meeting inflation. No problem is too small that this class of people won’t schedule a “check-in” for.
To continue the analogies, think of silverware and related instruments.

Notepad and TextEdit are like plastic utensils. They do the job (albeit not very well) and you can't really mess up.

Word, Pages and WordPerfect are like regular forks and knives. Not too much harder to use although they do require a bit more discipline.

TeX (and its derivatives/predecessors - Troff, Eqn, Grap) are like scalpels. Extremely powerful, but if you mess up, it can be hard to recover.

This doesn't even get into the fact that the last category must be compiled into a document, and making sure that everything gets into the funnel can be a real challenge for the uninitiated.
He's certainly not a socialist, but Trump and co. are right that socialists are generally less unhappy with Biden than with Trump, and many of them are sufficiently less unhappy to think it's worth voting for him.

And I think you can infer Orwell's position enough from this essay itself - he is concerned about "the liberal tradition" being the last bulwark against worldwide fascism just one sentence before criticising England's liberal tradition for not being willing to actively stand up to evil because that tradition believes good will win out because good is good. Liberalism is hardly sufficient, but it's necessary.

(Another way of putting this: Orwell is not an accelerationist. You can see from this essay that he's quite concerned with the material conditions of the working class in a realistic way, and the idea that they should get worse so that the people will revolt is neither convincing nor appealing to him.)

They allegedly have all this working, privately. They haven't released any development tools or such to the public.

I've often toyed with the idea of writing an instruction-level simulator (as opposed to the RTL sim or whatever they have internally). But even sticking to the public information, I'd likely be infringing on their patents.
I remember running into this a few years ago with a python virtual environment created in a deeply nested directory, where (IIRC) scripts installed by pip would wind up with the virtual environment’s python path as the shebang. These failed on some of but not all of our boxes. I forget how we resolved it, but I do remember being shocked to discover that there was a length limit.
Nothing really. It started with a question, strayed off to discussing some metrics about cost/loss of inefficient onboarding and closed off with vague hint that onboarding is important to get devs productive, failing to mention/promote that they are an onboarding specialist agency.
Eisenhower, but he claimed to be quoting someone else.
Seriously. I've never voted for a major party presidential candidate, have long thought voting has more effect on the voters (making them think they wanted the resulting policies) than input to the system, and abstained in 2016 with no regrets. But with the incumbent party going off the rails and completely throwing out all pretense of law and order while running interference with Goebbels's Big Lie, this year's referendum is different. I don't see how the country could survive four more years of Trump, and the repudiation needs to be as strong as possible.
Maybe we should give college students a minimum wage in addition to free tuition instead of non dischargeable loans also.

Also we should ban paying for coaching. Students should get minimum wage and shouldn’t have to pay a tennis coach if they want to win championships even if they are Federer.
I'll take predicable over shiny any day. I've not seen an interface that has increased my productivity in decades. I'm not afraid of new things but the best "new" interfaces I've seen are just minor tweaks to what's been working since win95. I'm waiting for something truly unique that's an actual improvement. Until then, I'm still using xfce with all the candy turned off.
What you should not do in practise is not always what you should do in theory.

Theory always misses few variables that reality never does.
This analysis doesn't put any weight on the value of a vote as a consent to be governed, as a popular validation of the legitimacy of the state. That may not have much value to this economist, but given the authoritarian states that compel election turnout (e.g. "near 100%" turnout in North Korea) it does have value to governments if not the governed.

How can you apply this to debugging useEffect issues?
Absolutely. They gave revenue numbers, they told me how they marketed, how they retained customers, if it was a good deal for the customers.

I think there’s some element of explaining things, especially if you come across as naive and interested in what they are doing.
Many scientific studies fail to publish the number of animals in total, used in their statistics. This would represent millions of animal-subjects, over time.

Many scientific studies obscure how many input subjects are rejected from final assessment. This would represent millions of experimental subjects, over time.
This is explicitly based on the premise that there is such a things as a non-subjective, ideology independent, candidate quality (on a better-worse axis). This premise is obviously false. Informed voters still are voting based on subjective value, they just are better able to assess how candidates will acheive (or not) their subjective value preferences.
> That means that a state-level actor could possibly carry out a targeted attack to replace the Signal app on a given person's phone with a malicious build.

No, they couldn't. They would need the Signal developers' key. Android requires app updates to be signed with the same key as the original app.

The laziness would be in failing to make the connection between mass starvation and murder and technological development (one can imagine technological development without murder, so its not in evidence that murder was necessary for development) and in asserting sputnik as a proxy for technological development which is itself a proxy for greater quality of life among the population.

> I've merely stated that Stalin did a thing which had some good effects for the Soviet people. And, yet, here you are deliberately misreading my original comment in bad faith, and all but saying "scary genocidal mustache man bad."

You just invoked some historical facts in a way that suggests a connection without explaining the connection. Thats what was lazy. On my end it has nothing to do with moustaches. Thats just your preferred reading.
