Mh, not sure. It's not different than the vegan friend who cannot stop speaking about his choices, or the newage-y one who will shove magical wisdom down your throat at every occasion, or the sjw who will enumerate your privileges at every turn. Yes, I have thought about these issues, yes, I have developed my opinions, yes, I am doing actual things to change the world as much as I can, but no, I don't need you to constantly remind me how you see things. Really boring attitude, and I am saying this as someone who agrees "politically" on every single point he makes in the changelogs.
And you expect YouTube to host these for free so the creator can be paid why exactly?

There is no reason for a reputable professional data center operator to stay anonymous and not disclose a business mailing address or applicable jurisdiction.

But then again, you are free to upload 8TB of your data to an anonymous website that was created this morning.
No you can't, not as a creator, which is what GP was talking about.
What you are looking at, tho, is not the pure hardware perspective, but the pure hardware numbers perspective, which excludes ergonomics, design, build quality and hardware/software integration as well as stuff like speakers and screens which might not be comparable because no other vendor does them exactly alike.

I always found this strange, when looking at personal computers – or, in fact, most anything in life. As if what can not be checked or compared on a feature list has no meaning. Do people really feel this way about the world or is it just a way to deal with insecurity about what is important?

The most confusing thing about this is, that, to me, the human experience is pretty much the opposite: The soft parts beat the feature list every time. The better design wins.
Definitely not enough if they don't understand just how much they're pushing these moderators to desperation and breakdowns.

A couple of days is not enough to get the gravity of the situation. Spend a week or more looking at the filth that needs filtering and you might start to get a sense of what the mods deal with and how badly it can affect them. Maybe.
Where are you getting this 10 number from.

Wikipedia shows Eurofighter Typhoon as the highest T/W for a Jet airplane at 1.15 and The Concorde at 5.4

You WANT wings for supersonic flight (For a normal non missile aircraft). Sure it sucks that its hard to optimize for supersonic flight and subsonic, but you go Supersonic at extremely high altitudes to reduce drag on the plane. This requires a shit ton of power to go forward, without even counting the effort to stay in the air vertically.
As William Gibson puts it, the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.
Jim uses an interesting strategy to achieve ad-free status, though. He purposefully includes content from many copyright holders that default to claiming the entire video. Since apparently highlander rules apply, the system just won't play ads on his stuff.

Sending Emails with Node.js and Nodemailer
Hey all,

So I've single-handedly built a progressive web app that's designed to sit somewhere in between traditional ecommerce (like Shopify, Etsy, Ebay etc.) and the social networks that are pushing shop features (like Instagram, Pinterest, and FB Marketplace). Really, it's designed to help makers and "microbusinesses" get their products online and selling quickly, without having to build a website, pay extortionate fees, and navigate the minefield of SEO, SEM, and social media advertising.

I've just launched it and am attempting to attract small merchants from anywhere to sign-up and list a few products. Similarly, I'm trying to ramp up some attention from folks that just want to browse products in an Instagram-like feed.

Ultimately, I'm going to need scale if I really want to start solving the problems I'm setting out to, but I figured showing it off to HN was a good way to start getting thoughts and feedback. :)

Hope you like it.
No, more like comparing the M1 MacBook Pro to the i7 (or i9?) based MacBook Pro. Comparing the $699 Mac mini to the Mac Pro seems absurd... or at least I thought so until someone else replied with a link to a video where the video-dude is comparing the mini to a $4000 machine:

I had the same experience using the native Youtube app on iOS.

In my browsers (including on mobile), I always have adblock enabled but playing the video in the native Youtube app crams so many ads into a video it's ridiculous. They deliver ads on videos as short as 2 minutes long. Move onto the next video after watching an ad + 2 minute video == another ad.

I've stopped using the native app and have now switched to the mobile-browser version now (I use Adguard as an ad-blocker for mobile Safari which blocks YT ads in browser)..

Since the mid 2000s when all the suits who've never played a video game in their lives started taking over AAA game companies, they've had this weird obsession to make games as "cinematic" as they can. To match movies as much as they can. Now that I think about it, it's probably an inferiority complex (don't really know why either since video games have been surpassing movies in raw sales for years now). Hopefully with the success of Doom 2016, we'll continue to see reinvigorated focus on what mamakesde video games so great in the first place: the game play.
Only they are doing it on channels with out enough viewers to choose those options. Shady af.
True but it is in their interest. Google benefits when the web is fast and full of content that can be indexed and worth surfacing.
Go outside. Explore the neighborhood. Ride your bike. Read a book. Practice your cello. Tinker in the basement.

I may be old fashioned, but Minecraft strikes me as faux-creative. It's not something you get "better" at. That's just my reaction, having watched it done. It puts you in a state of flow without actually flowing anywhere.
NDA's in this case are a way to hide shady behavior. This is a 'hey you are not living up to the terms of my contract with you' 'here sign this NDA before we talk to you' 'wahhht?'
It works both ways, you don't waste their time if you are not going to be a customer, they don't waste your time if you don't really need their service.
For a good while DoH bypassed the piratebay block but I just tried it on this windos box and its just blocked on the ISP level.

I can get torrents just fine ofc. More curious how Ziggo is intercepting the requests.
There’s the haptic feedback for the trackpad.
His point of view was that teachers should be viewed as technicians: they are here a apply a method, not to invent new ones.

I think this applies to most jobs really. Research and practice are different things, and even when the same person does both it's good to keep them at least somewhat separate.

I (almost always) kinda want my doctor or mechanic to follow what's known to work, rather than try out new things. On my own software projects, experimental techniques seem to cause issues a lot more often than standard "best practice" sort of techniques and I try to keep them away from important production system. Etc etc.

To hell with the Unix philosophy on this topic. Poetry is amazing, and as a user of python for 15+ years I would much rather have one tool like poetry solve the problem of "python dependencies and packaging", than 25 tools to solve the myriad of sub problems hidden in it.
No, it really isn't. It's equivalent to a 1060 running outdated graphics APIs on barely supported drivers.

I assure you it's not comparable to a 1060, and when people start benchmarking them on Vulkan or DirectX instead of decade old OpenGL this is will be apparent.

It sounds like AMP will stick around, serving as the easiest way to guarantee a great Core Vitals score (because it's so locked down), but that you're welcome to find other ways to get a great score yourself. Which is how it should have always been.
Ah yes, that's right. I actually turn off all of the cyclomatic complexity rules or set very high limits because I find those to be really annoying. So I mainly use RuboCop as a code formatter, plus some minor linting and style rules that aren't too obtrusive. I actually disagree with the parent article, and I've grown to really appreciate guard clauses. I find them much easier to read now.

VS Code will still highlight those cyclomatic complexity errors in the editor, so at least you will be able to fix them (or turn them off) without needing to wait for a CI build to finish.
- Embed ads into the video itself, as suggested above

- Stream ad start/end events to the browser, with no duration info

- On sending the start event, lock the user's session such that they can't change their position within the video. lock it server-side, and client-side. Start event will include details of the ad being displayed for any interactivity.

- Unlock the session after the duration of the ad has elapsed, which is only known server-side. Then send the end event to the browser so it can be unlocked client-side.
I don't know why this was flagged. Sure, somebody could be asking about doing this because they want everybody else's data. On the other hand, that's why Troy Hunt did it, so that doesn't seem to be a problem in and of itself. Plus, the most obvious reason to ask this question is the actual reason stated. I'd like to be able to do that, too, frankly.

I'll answer the question, though: Not unless you know how to find it.
Some do, some don't. For example the captive portal issue, browsers can try to connect without DoH to a captive portal test page and provide a special non-DoH login tab. You can't do that on the OS level. You could create some interaction between the browser and the OS, but that's nontrivial and needs a solution.
I wonder how long YT will tolerate those in-video ads when YT Premium is supposed to allow for an ad-free experience.

I'm also curious as to how the advertisers and YT channels come up with pricing. The advertisers will have no metrics on how often the ad was skipped over, and maybe it's a coincidence, but the channels seem to keep the in-video ad lengths to integer multiples of 'skip 10 seconds' button presses.
twitch.tv has started doing this very thing, so it's definitely possible. Twitch and youtube respond to each other's actions so youtube could easily end up doing this too.
I get why people are mad that something that exists is changing, though at this point I've stopped being surprised when something that was free either stops being free or has the free offering diminished. This particularly was a very weird setup where if you didn't want a share of ad revenue, you got to use the service completely for free. While Google offers ad free YouTube to users, it'd be nice if they offered a way for creators to pay for YouTube hosting so they can continue to offer their channels ad free, with maybe a small discount based on the percentage of your user base with YouTube Premium.
Long Distance Relationship Advice (5 Words of Advice)
Worse though that on June (or was it July? Regardless, this year) most YPP members' videos were explicitly opted-in again on mid-roll ads despite some of them explicitly turning it off already.
People you actually want to speak with will learn very quickly when their messages don’t get through. Sure, keep your gmail alive whilst you transition yourself, but don’t leave it hanging around too long. The inertia will kill you.
I was in the same boat until i switched to Firefox (even mobile) and installed the "redirect amp to html" addon.

This has silenced my AMP anger.

Edit: and switching from Google Search to DuckDuckGo. The addon only needs to take care of amp links i get sent via messenger/mail/etc
Nah, gmail users are not absolutely next in line. That was hangouts users.

But you do have the right idea. Gmail users are in line, waiting for the spyware to no longer have a free-to-use option. And even after becoming customers, they'll still be the product.
> Yes, the new Terms of Service allow ads to run on videos from non-YPP channels (so long as the video meets ad-friendly guidelines).

So now all these smaller creators will just start their video with "hey cunts, how you doing today?"
Correct, but what are the long term gains/damages of a company paing half the salaries while being slowed down? That's something to be explored before we can conclude the slow down yields worse oveeall results
Yes this is referring to in-video ads.
Sure, you just set up forwarding (oh look, forwarding just became a paid feature in Gmail!) and then respond from your new email, and over time it will fix itself and you won't lose emails..
A big reason that jet turbines are useful for supersonic aircraft is that their exhaust speed is (pretty much) constant regardless of airspeed; this allows a jet to continue accelerating until the drag force exceeds its thrust. An electric fan could perform similarly if it could provide enough static pressure to achieve supersonic flow through a de Laval nozzle. If that could be done (whether it can is something I'd love to see data on!), the best electric power source would probably have what looks like a regular jet engine intake on the front, a subsonic fan, and a de Laval nozzle in the back like a rocket engine.
Any Windows laptop with comparable display quality, SSD speeds, battery life etc. cost similar or more. And they still have trackpads that suck.
That's the plane. I was talking about the engine.

After having tried Youtube Premium to remove ads, it's almost jarring to see ads in a Youtube video.

YT seems to be increasingly prioritizing being ad delivery network over being a content delivery network.
They look like they’re trying to target the raw storage price floor. In such a market support costs could eat them alive.

As a market hypothesis, there are many folks hosting their own media/storage servers for various purposes. Often these servers run zfs and they can’t. Be oushed to the cloud due to inefficient pricing for TB scale, low frequency, low concurrency, moderate latency storage solutions.

Offering raw drives in zfs configs could crack this market, if customers buy into the raw drive solution then they can work on simplifying the solution and educating their audience.
> I wasn't talking about calling a female connector or a male connector,

then you’re gonna need to explain, because that’s pretty much exactly what you said.

> Obviously the code that we write is going to have an impact, but that's completely different from adding the impact from day 0 (e.g: software that spams propaganda in the stdout)

So it would seem you have no issue here.
According to WSJ* index funds currently hold about 5% of the US stock market, and it seems likely that share will grow. How in the hell do you hold shareholders accountable under a system like that? This seems like a big problem already, and only likely to get worse as direct ownership gets more and more convoluted and obscured by various investment systems. I don't have any suggestions for a fix unfortunately :(

I got the mbp when on day one but haven't been able to fully test it yet

BUT I have been using it (right now) for almost 2 hours reading reddit and whatnot, I went form 100% to 96%. On my current mbp (2019, i9, 16gb) 2 hours would kill 50% of my battery.

I don't care if compile time takes 2x. I can take my laptop with me at 8am and come back at 10pm and know I won't need a charger. It is amazing
Reviews (including this one) all say webcam sucks pretty bad though. Why Apple chose to release a laptop with a subpar webcam in 2020 is a mystery to me. This isn't even hard or expensive. Spend a couple dollars more on that webcam, Apple, don't be so greedy.

The Physics of Materials at Minus 80 Degrees Celsius
There is no such thing as "the political space". Politics is just the word we assign to the concept of people organizing and working out (or failing to work out) their differences. Everything we do is a component of it. None of us are absent from it. And just because you don't value someone's particular job does not mean they do not get to have or express an opinion on politics.

When people complain about "politics", what they are complaining about is often a perceived failure within a system. Chesterton's Fence[0] is a parable that describes the need to understand where the system came from before making changes to reform it.

For example, in a large corporation, we might say that the yearly review system is "political", but getting rid of it completely would be removing the one (albeit, flawed) means that the organization has to evaluate employee performance. In its absence, a new system would have to be created to replace it. Any system that would replace it would also be prone to being perceived as "political" to some people.

What does that have to do with software? We write software to be used by and for the benefit of people. There is no point to it, otherwise. Writing software is fundamentally a political process.

>I slightly worry that this will serve as a distraction for him in future project development, maybe lead to a broken release or a dev path and force me to look for a new tool - zeal often crowds out focus.

Between free software itself being highly political, with plenty of zealots writing code, and the progressivism (and anti-progressivism) in SV and the tech community at large, I don't see much evidence that holding political views creates more bugs or degrades software quality. When that happens, the culprit tends to be deadlines or negligence.

The closest thing to an example I can come up with of this happening is the developer who pulled left-pad from NPM for essentially political reasons, but that was an act of deliberate sabotage rather than the result of distraction.
It is their job to turn their power in to money, and AMP is just a power play. It is what tech companies do - if we don't like it, something about the fundamentals has to change.

My only complaint is the smirky, chipper PR front they package with it. Microsoft, at least, wasn't too insecure to show some fang without the Candyland faux-earnest horse shit when they were king.

When was that? In the US you can go back as far (at least) as Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe for popular figures getting involved in politics. In terms of actors and singers, you can go back to Bert Willams in the 1910s to numerous outspoken figures in the 1950's and beyond.

Easy notifications from Bash scripts – FAUN – Nov, 2020
Probably doesn’t matter since the war on urls is mostly a myth perpetuated by outrage-bait blogspam.

By default (i.e. until you click the bar) only showing the part of the URL that the site doesn’t control is really good for security and avoiding phishing. Now apple.paypal.secure.wendys.scamsite.info/payus/wwwcitibank just shows scamsite.info. This is a good thing! And doubly because URL paths and fragments have been made largely irrelevant to end users as app routes.

If you're going to rant about the death of the URL you should complain to HN as well that only shows the domain next to posts.
true that. Amazon is a perfect example
Not sure why this is downvoted but this kind of thing is a good example for why I'm glad things like peertube exist.

Youtube was down for a few hours a couple days ago and thats when I realized that just about every video on the internet is now exclusively hosted on Youtube.

The conversation here is about people that take these moderation jobs (pick any of a dozen reasons) are getting shafted compared to the duties required.

Admittedly this is an attempt to shape their circumstances, but it's not in keeping with the way corporations work to suggest that workers can just say no.
