That's a whole lot of words to not answer my question. Where would you put unrepentant rapists, if not in a prison?
For me the noise is still there, even if it takes another form. Jokes, puns and nastiness are swapped for hacker-y style rants (we know how idiosyncratic many of hackers are) or people who talk about things they lack the knowledge of.

Ironically, under front page HN submissions where comments would give some context, often there are none. Who upvoted them all the way to the front page? People who want to feel intelligent? Edit: this may be related to the moderator's override function where they put some submissions manually on the front page.

Hacker News is the inverse image of many people’s jobs, overlaid on top of each other—an escape valve for frustrated idealists.”

How to Get Rid of If-Else Ladder
I doubt the case of the VW manager can be adressed to reason (alone). Lots of politics going on, too. US vs. EU.

I doubt the same would have happened, if Ford or GM would have been the one caught in the act.
For a traditional PC/console game, it's likely porting to Metal is the bigger issue.
Who replies honestly to political question to random strangers? I know I don't.

What's the benefit of letting anyone know where you stand politically at this point? None.

It's much more likely - no matter which side you're for - that the person asking could have an adverse reaction. Things are just way too polarized now, not sure how that can change, but that's how it is.

I mean outside friends/family I simply take a neutral, non-committal stance on almost every hot-button issue these days. And honestly even that's not 100% true, I avoid getting into deep political conversations with most of my family, I simply don't want to cause further rifts in our already frail relations over all this stuff. There is no middle ground.
Well, certainly not a personal computer. :/
> three strikes laws

The three-strikes law is pure abomination, I've first learned about it watching "Oz" (the TV series) in the early 2000s, couldn't believe that that was real (I don't live in the States). 15 years have passed and there is still no real conversation about abolishing it.
Part of it is the multiple layers of abstraction. You aren't really sure what is going on when you run terraform apply.

I recommend turning the TF_LOG environment variable all the way up so you get super verbose logging. Then you can actually see what terraform is doing and it actually isn't too bad. It makes a bunch of calls to AWS one by one.

My guess is you just haven't worked with infrastructure that much so it is familiarity problem. You are also using a tool that has a very high level of abstraction. So getting more familiar with how infrastructure is setup (even manually) will help.

Some other things:

- Visualizing things by drawing things out can help
- Keep the AWS web console open and you can see Terraform creating the resources on the fly by refreshing
Randomizing would be even faster and easier, if you just want incorrect answers in record time.

Voting has a short list of maybe four easily stated requirements. Online voting “solutions” tend to solve one or two, forget about the others, and try to compensate on user experience.
For a while the 2.0 development branch was using a different storage file format than 1.x, which required migrating your time series data.

But by the 2.0 Release Candidate that was reverted so that it will use the same file format as 1.x, and the 2.0 functionality was backported onto that, so the upgrade path for 1.x to 2.0 is much simpler now than it was going to be.
Remember your roots, you insensitive clod! ;)
Well, the current USB-C to 10GBe is a big box (about two decks of playing cards) and costs about $150. I'm a bit unhappy about it. When a community college is starting to buy all 10GBe interfaces, its about time for Apple to move on.

I'm going to get two Mac minis to look at, and then wait to replace my current machine when 32 or 64 GB ARM machines are available.
That's still mismanaging your work and time, but indirectly. Find a better job where your colleagues respect your personal time.
true. one could just use onsite or p2p tech that avoids using servers beyond handshakes.
> Why would MAUI be any different?

Speaking cynically, if it's tied enough into the main Microsoft Ecosystem it will have more community buy-in.

You see this happen with other parts of .NET as well, often to the chagrin of the OSS Devs who filled Microsoft's gaps only to be replaced by an (often inferior) solution.
I would also suspect that there are some other factors:

- people who have too much free time on their hands will answer polls more

- gullible people, who tend to click on spam emails and ads and trust their news, will answer polls more

- people who've been vilified by the media for their views are unlikely to answer polls

- people who are afraid to be 'cancelled' or harassed for their views are unlikely to answer polls

- people who don't trust particular news organizations spreading political propaganda are unlikely to answer polls from those organizations
I agree, they appear to be playing catch up on many fronts. Notably, with Cortex, Tempo, and Loki, Grafana Labs seem to have pulled way ahead in advancing a successful open-source cloud observability strategy.

InfluxData have a long history of writing (and rewriting) their own storage engines, so choosing to do it again is unsurprising. I guess this sort of hints that the current TSM/TSI have probably reached their performance and scalability limits and will be EOL before too long.

What I find interesting is that this project is already almost a year old and only has six contributors (two of whom look like external contractors). It seems more like a fun side project than the future core of the database that is supposed to be deployed into production next year.
This isn't new information. Whoever is funding pollsters should know better, and pollsters themselves should be ashamed for taking the money.

It’s always the null cases that get you... I suppose if “up to date” was the only requirement I would agree. But in reality there are many competing requirements which is why there are many degrees of documentation. Obviously internal and external documentation will be different too.

Where else can I as one of the non-gods of HN, go to argue with millionaires and billionaires

To me, what's really great about HN is not the "talking with millionaires and billionaires" thing. It's talking with people who know how to get shit done and some of those people happen to be millionaires and billionaires because they know how to get shit done. Others are lowly PhDs (okay, sometimes someone is both a Phd and a zillionaire).

And they will, in a surprising number of cases, answer your questions in layman's terms even though you are a big fat nobody. Assuming you are not blatantly an over the top asshole about it.

(Whoops. Forgot the not. That's a bad thing.)

so yeah, that's got to be a very messed up psyche, to take on the identity of your enemy.

It says it right in the article... "A key subject of the book Spam Kings by Brian McWilliams, Hawke was a Jewish-born American who’d legally changed his name from Andrew Britt Greenbaum. For many years, Hawke was a big time purveyor of spam emails hawking pornography and male enhancement supplements, such as herbal Viagra."
>Digg wasn't a terrible hateful echo chamber, reddit was not, most topic oriented forums are not

Those platforms, from the topic oriented platforms, to digg & reddit all stressed moderation. What's new is this idea that any sort of moderation is an infringement of free speech and content platforms should moderate as little as possible. Moderation used to be far stricter when platforms were smaller.

My wife works about 25-30 hours per week. However, she spends most of that on her hobby (more than I spend on the mortgage). She doesn't contribute to any bills other than her gas and tires. I pay all the bills, benefits, utilities. I do all the shopping, cooking, baking, mechanic work, handyman work, projects, legal research (a case she got us involved in because she won't listen to me), medical research (our son has an issue), etc. Of course I watch the kid pretty much as soon as I get off of work most days and on the weekend. She won't let us move to a cheaper area or for me to pursue a different job. For example, there's a position at Google in Pittsburgh that I would have liked to interview for. I'm guessing I wouldn't get it, but I'd like to try. But my feelings and opinions aren't worth anything.
Oh! I totally missed that :) thanks!
> for more than a year I have been watching perfectly fine comments getting buried almost instantly.

Apart from an obvious problem of too many people having downvoting privileges, mods here also silently downweight some accounts even though they leave perfectly good comments. So there are two parts of this problem: mods being assholes towards some people regardless of their comments and mods letting too many people downvote comments. Same problem with flagging, except that flagging doesn't just make some discussions taboo, it also provokes mods to come up with a reason to issue a warning to silence such discussions even more if they feel like it.

But let's be honest, HN was never a place for dissenting views or "intellectual curiosity" as they used to say, it was always a very US, Silicon Valley capitalist-owned place, where the mods, YC tried to push people into one or another direction, push people to think certain way, suppress and disallow some viewpoints under various pretenses. I'm sure you've seen them claim guidelines breaking of people expressing some views, but never the opposite views if the views happened to be a common SV ideology (for example, I don't think I've ever seen an "let's ban sexist words" diversity activism being warned as "ideological flamebait" or such activists being banned, but it did happen with people holding the opposite views, just like it did with the guy from Google). All of this nudges people into echo chambers.

I'll add that it used to have more technical discussions a few years ago, but not so much anymore, you have to go to lobsters and reddit for that, even if they suck, they are at least still there.

The future is very bright for .NET. It has the right raison d'etre - .NET is part of the growth story for Nadella-Microsoft.

They already have you programming in their editors (VS/Code) and pushing to their VCS (Github). They're even teaching you the C# type system with TypeScript :) If they can just convince you to use their stack, Azure will win you over from AWS every time.

As a result, I really wanted to adopt .NET earlier this year. But they have some work to do to make the ecosystem approachable to newcomers.

One of the core issues feels so... trite. But experiencing it, I realized how real it really was:

The Names. Microsoft has created a Ninja Warrior obstacle course of proper nouns.

It is comical. It is worthy of parody.

.NET, the CLR, and their relation to C# and F#. ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web Api, Blazor vs Razor, .NET Core vs .NET Framework vs .NET Standard.

I think I could draw the lines between all those with about 50% accuracy. And I read like 3 books on .NET before diving in.

It's bad off the top when you're trying to figure out which way is up in the ecosystem. It goes from bad to worse when you're looking through docs and Stack Overflow answers.

It was almost never immediately clear if a document I was looking at on Microsoft's own website applied to me or not. That is a cardinal sin of technical documentation.

Ultimately, this meant that .NET Core Web API (or whatever I was using) felt poorly documented.

I'd find myself looking at docs that mention .NET Web API - but I can't remember if that rolls up to .NET Core or Framework -- or both? Am I using MVC? Is Web API a subset of MVC? No clue.

It's definitely a hard problem. Here's to hoping that now that everything is unified, they can work on paving clearer roads into their ecosystem.

F# programmer here. I still find VS superior to anything on VS Code, and a lot of people prefer the VS Code Ionide F# IDE.

Most importantly I could do everything in F# I need to do (or can do in VS), debugging, refactoring, interactive tests, on the free Community Edition of VS. It just happens I use Professional because my company pays for the license.
Back then there was no memory vs speed tradeoff as the constraint is to minimize memory. It makes sense when you realize it has to be as simple as possible: there is no memory budget for the code or data structures to be more computationally efficient.

For the lowest end models right? It's the same tradeoff to bring down prices for people buying the lowest end machines. Presumably they understand that people who need the higher end spec'd machines will wait to buy a new laptop until more software has been migrated to run natively.

If you need a 13" MBP that supports more than 16gb of ram, they sell it. It seems unlikely they'll stick with a 16gb limit once they start replacing the higher end devices.
I am in the same boat. I love this Laptop, but Lightroom (CC) is really slow compared to how it runs on iOS. I would assume the new M1-based machines could run the iOS version of Lightroom almost out of the box.
I disagree with both you and the poster who talks about the high & low against the middle, though less with the other poster.

I'm from flyover country, one of those three states that went Biden this year surrounded by a sea of red. You know, one of the three states that elected half the members of 'the squad'. Sure, California rich people can throw in a lot of money, but that's true for both Republican and Democratic parties. Don't dismiss our importance in the Democratic party. We turn up & do the work, including the work of talking with our 'red' neighbors and actually trying to work things out in this country.

As for high & low vs middle, it just doesn't make sense to me. Lots of rich people supporting the Republicans -- lots, lots, lots. Lots of rich people supporting the Dems. Poor people split by race and geography. Middle class people split by race and geography. The split by geography and race is more significant than the split by income, in almost every presentation of data that I see.

Yes, you can make producing e2e encryption software illegal. Sure the maths will be on Wikipedia and an advanced user will always find a way to do e2e encryption, but you will not see a major legal social network offering e2e encryption without backdoors anymore.
(My opinion should be taken with a grain of salt because I am a grumpy, antisocial basement dweller) We tried something like this at my work. The few days it was happening were some of my least productive in a while. Doing work while having a live camera pointed at my face all day made me nervous and unable to have deep thoughts. On top of that, there was constant noise coming from my headphones of other people's conversations.

My immediate response was to shut off my camera and drag my icon all the way to the corner of the screen so I can work alone. If the goal is to reproduce the distracting nature of the open office, I gotta say projects like this are a huge success. Also, streaming live video all day every day for no reason seems like a waste of resources on all parts.

I can see how this would be a cool tool for normal social events like parties and conferences though! Just not every day work please.
Users of InfluxDB 1.x can upgrade to 2.0 today. It's an in-place upgrade and just requires a quick command to make it work. Further, InfluxDB 2.0 also has the API for InfluxDB 1.x. We've been putting out InfluxDB 1.x releases while we've been developing 2.0. One of the reasons we waited so long to finalize GA for 2.0 was because we had to make sure there was a clean migration path and there is.

For our cloud 1 customers, they'll be able to upgrade to our cloud 2 offering, but in the meantime, their existing installations get the same 24x7 coverage and service we've been providing for years.

As for how this will be deployed, it will be a seamless transition for our cloud customers when we do so. Data, monitoring and analytics companies replace their backend data planes multiple times over the course of their lifetime.

For our Enterprise customers, we'll provide an upgrade path, but not until this product is mature enough to ship an on-premise binary that won't get a chance to get upgraded but for a few times a year.

The only difference here is that we're doing it as open source. They always do theirs behind closed doors. I'm sure most of our users and many of our customers prefer our open source approach.

I was literally about to order a new mac mini, until I noticed it only has 16GB max memory. How can they do this?! The previous model could be upgraded to 64GB, had 4 USB-C connectors (instead of now 2) and the option for faster ethernet. It really sounds like this new mac mini is a downgrade from the previous model. I wonder if the new M1 chip/architecture really makes that much difference to make up for the downgrade of the rest.

Except that’s really not what the statistics show. Republicans gain a majority of support from high school graduates, individuals with some college experience, and college graduates. People without a high school degree or with a post graduate degree favor Democrats.

An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats.

Ethereum has some respect because atleast it is not an outright scam. But consider following :
- Rollback done during DAO hack
- Policy of minimum issuance but they're changing the issuance to more tighter issuance "going fwd"
- They are changing the main consensus algo from proof of work to proof of stake

if you understand and try to work on it you will understand how centrally planned it is becoming and how clunky their nodes are to run and their entire execution is chaos. it is hard to put serious money on something like that but sure you can bet on it ...
You have to give them time to write it, too.
It's also off-topic, and it's especially off-topic because it was misdirected. The response to "my legitimate tool was attacked because people thought it was for X" should not be to talk about the problem of X and why it's important. It should be to figure out how we prevent useful tools from being taken down. Amplifying a different problem, the fear of which led to breaking a useful tool, does not help.

Also, if you don't want something downloaded, don't post it on the Internet in the first place. The problem you're talking about isn't that photos get downloaded, it's how those photos are subsequently used.
I wonder, is the 8GB vs. 16GB "unified memory" the kind of thing where all of the hardware actually has 16GB, but they disable half of it to sell the lower price version? Like Tesla's Model S 40 kwh?
Mind reading doesn't work. I was merely pointing out there doesn't seem to be safety data yet, and it will be required to deploy this widely. This is PR pure and simple. It doesn't mean that "we have a vaccine" quite yet, unless you want to recklessly endanger a lot of people. We won't have it for a while.
Really good observations - I suspect that the 16" MBPs may be in the 2% though.

Plus, given use of Rosetta 2 they probably need 2x or more improvement over existing models to be viable for existing x86 software. Interesting to speculate what the M chip in the 16" will look like - convert efficency cores to performance cores?
