However, youtube embodies the biggest flaw of internet infrastructure. Centralized authority, many content creators had their entire channels deleted without any recourse. This is a problem because laws are archaic and Youtube has to comply. If it was decentralized somehow then it won't depend on whims and progress of individual governments. Youtube as a company has taken position that they are not going to be the one fight this fight, and they simply comply and over comply to and DMCA request. So what if youtuber gets deleted, there are plenty to replace them.

Perhaps this should also be seen as monopoly, who is a competitor to Youtube? nobody! May be had there been one, Youtube would have been more eager to please content creators and lobby to change laws. Despite exclusively benefiting from most internet user generated content, Youtube has decided to not fight a battle with lobbyists of other industries. They are in position and backing, but they are choosing a path that is focused on short term benefits and keeps ad publishers happy.
I was one of those kinds, JavaScript and Python are the modern version of the BASICs we had on those computers, that I learned before even bothering with hexdumps, monitors and Z80 code.

"Instead PHP is faster for the things websites normally do, like string manipulation."

No, this is not right for a couple of reasons. NodeJS is potentially slower in certain CPU-bound tasks due to the single-threaded nature of JavaScript.

On the other hand, thanks to its event loop and concurrency model, NodeJS is much faster than many languages/runtimes in I/O (reading/writing to stores, fetching data from other servers, etc.) - which is what many web servers do most.

Your original comment also mentioned:

"in-browser execution has seen most of the speedup (as it's where most of the optimisation is focussed on)."

Which is also not true. The V8 engine is hyperoptimized and runs not only Chrome but Node too. It is precisely one of the reasons why server-side JS has gained in popularity over the last decade. The fact that it was initially devised for a browser environment does not mean that optimisation is focused there.

If you're an engineer or web developer I really suggest that you brush up on these things, because with comments like the ones you've been dropping you'd definitely raise eyebrows - and not for the good...

The employees are forced to adopt unethical tactics to meet the aggressive business targets
Your statement about authoritarian tendencies is interesting. While I don't doubt that leaders like Trump or Duterte have them, it's a tricky situation to base such a label on their intentions or words alone. The vast majority of political leaders work towards the maximization of their own power regardless of their speaking style or underlying government type (Trump's overtly bellicose manner vs. say, Obama's much more diplomatically toned engagement with the public, other government branches and media). Either way though, I ask that you or anyone name how someone like Trump actually exercises(d) executive power very differently from a leader like Obama:

Both engaged in many of the same drives towards furthering their own personal political agendas during their respective administrations and while Trump says many things more baldly, and certainly lies much more flippantly, I fail to see how either his executive decisions or administrative pushes were or are in any notable way actually more authoritarian than those of Obama.

Just because one leader speaks more blandly than another doesn't mean that their fundamental governing power is much different, or that the more bellicose sounding figure is somehow an authoritarian if he or she is still fully constrained by the rest of a democratic government apparatus.

Furthermore, many if not most of the tendencies towards much broader presidential authority that Trump currently enjoys were established by a whole history of executive expansion which came before his term, and some of those started under much less visibly aggressive presidents. Focusing on what the orange man says more than on the deeper dynamics behind his office seems to me like more an exercise in ideological labeling than sound analysis of what authoritarian leadership means.

I learnt about Waze many years ago from non technical folks. Drivers have niche communities of their own too, where stuff like this gets disseminated.

“Waze is better than google maps for directions” for a long time was true. Then google bought it.

If Waze can rise up, so can another. Especially where it’ll save drivers some % on their fuel bills. Even more so in European countries with high fuel duties.

I am asking this question out of true intellectual curiosity: Could someone please link me a study which shows strong evidence for micro-plastics being harmful to health, that goes beyond finding "potential" harm? – Thank you!

Seriously, I am looking. So far every study I have found — linking micro-plastics to physical harm done to multicellular organisms — had the phrase "potential" (or a derivative) in it.

I dislike plastic as much as the next guy, but I slowly get the feeling: the harmful effects of plastic have the same level of scientific proof as harm caused by radiation of mobile phones — inconclusive to likely _none_.

Well, it doesn't matter what Germany's reaction was.

The Allies wouldn't accept anything short of an unconditional surrender because they tried otherwise with the Treaty of Versailles after WW1, and that resulted in WW2.

In addition, democracies cannot just start, stop and restart wars on whim for political reasons - they need to start and finish them.

And for the Russians, invading Berlin was very, very personal.

To be more detailed, the German army wasn't going to surrender because:

1) Goebbels heard that the Western Allies had considered either decimating or castrating German men and turning Germany into stoneage farmers. So he was able to broadcast that into German homes using his household radios.

2) Germans knew what the Russians had planned for them.

I was suggesting a flat distribution in terms of the monetary value of consumption. Not what specifics people consume, which varies a lot with preference, yes.

Of course, some people like to 'consume' leisure instead of working to earn money to finance other consumption. That's a perfectly valid preference, just a bit harder to measure and model.

That's not the situation in the town where i live. There's less tax here compared to the city, gas prices should be lower, instead, every gas station in town is priced higher and all keep the same high price.

Years ago, the grocery stores here did the same thing. It's taken 15 years for them to finally begin to actually compete with each other...well just prior to covid anyway...
This is the sad NP-hard part of cryptographically-strong checksumming - the heavier the algorithm, the longer it'll take, and the harder it'll be to exhaust it on even trivial inputs.

Sometimes simply loading both copies of the data into RAM and comparing them can be faster - for scenarios where you have both copies available.

XXHash comes to mind as the (apparently) fastest non-cryptographic general-purpose hash out there at the moment; it runs close to memory speed. It would be interesting to see a microbenchmark-style graph showing the slowdown checking all permutations of 1KB, 1MB, etc.
That's some interesting calculus there. You don't want to wash 2 cups for a total time investment of 60 seconds, so you choose to generate extraordinary waste to save 30 seconds, damage the environment and your health. Makes complete sense to me.

You can’t possibly have the information that would be required to weigh his decision-making that way. First, there aren’t two alternatives, there are countless alternatives and all you’ve said with your example of the Hummer is that it’s better than a really bad one on a single metric. Second, you don’t know the reasoning behind the decision. Maybe someone else drives because they were assaulted on a train less than a year ago and can’t even stand on a train platform. You don’t know, but you’re judging their “values” as if you do. Third, none of us have perfect information on which to base every single decision of our lives. How many of us act or don’t act in ways that don’t reflect our values simply because of our own ignorance? You’re likely surrounded by thousands of individual artifacts with scant idea of how, where, and by whom they were sourced and manufactured. Are you vouching for every single one of those artifacts as a reflection of your values? Not likely.

I haven't gotten too far with my test 13" MBA.
I booted it up and installed Xcode -- it took about 2 hours to install, which I don't understand. Now that it's installed I can't build my project without recompiling some dependencies so will be some time before I can properly compare it to my Intel 13" MBP on things that matter to me (compile-run-iterate on iOS apps).

If you have any specific questions about software or task speed I'm happy to answer though!
>HN uses voting to legitimize content of higher quality

The majority of the down votes I have seen are for disagreement, and not for the quality of the post. I have seen many comments down voted and flagged dead that were eloquently stated and/or just an opinion.

If your language has equality proofs, for example `a = Int` then, if your language is non-total I can prove anything by divergence. So I can prove `Int = String`. This is still type-safe as long as you don't erase the proof, because you can never use the invalid proof because your program will diverge.

So if you want to be type-safe but you still want to be able to erase proofs, your proofs have to be total.
Agree. Because even gods can't read Cpp template errors.
"These preliminary data indicate that the vaccine is 70.4% effective, with tests on two different dose regimens showing that the vaccine was 90% effective if administered at a half dose and then at a full dose, or 62% effective if administered in two full doses."
Agreed, this matches my own experience with burnout and pressure. I've worked two different jobs with totally different amounts of pressure (one lower pressure and one higher pressure) but I've experienced burnout in both. It's not the level of pressure & optimization that leads to burnout, in fact the best periods of my career were at my high pressure job working pretty hard.

FWIW there's a comment quote that I think really nails burnout perfectly [1]:

> Burnout is caused when you repeatedly make large amounts of sacrifice and or effort into high-risk problems that fail. It's the result of a negative prediction error in the nucleus accumbens. You effectively condition your brain to associate work with failure.

> My suggested remedy would be to reassociate work with success by doing routine things such as debugging or code testing that will restore the act of working with the little "pops" of endorphins.

> That is not to say that having a healthy life schedule makes burnout less likely (I think it does; and one should have a healthy lifestyle for its own sake) but I don't think it addresses the main issue.

My 2c is that if you're interested in working out & solving your own burnout, this is how you need to understand burnout. There are so many bad and weirdly political interpretations on burnout that basically sell "the solution is to work less" or "the solution is for society to work less". I want to save you the trouble of discovering that working less doesn't actually help you feel more fulfilled and will probably make you even more miserable if you have even a little bit of passion & curiosity & ambition.

The new version of this is the customer-centric return policy. Because there's no place to go and see several different products, shoppers just order them all online, and return the ones they don't want.

It's interesting. The online marketplace (Amazon) controls the return policy, but the sellers control the pricing. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Unfortunately, it's distorted (particularly in the case of Amazon) by the proliferation of fake brands. And by fake brands, I do not mean fakes of well-known brands...I mean meaningless brands that do not exist, that attempt to create product differentiation that does not exist.

It's turned Amazon into the crap-pile of last resort, for me.
>videos I already watched

Wouldnt be the end of the world if they didnt screw with CSS to hide that fact. One of the best simple mods you can do for the sake of your own sanity is injecting those two styles into YT website:

a #video-title { color: red !important;}
a:visited #video-title { color: black !important;}

Right now opening new Andrew Camarata video from my Subscription subpage shows me 20 recommendations total:

16 old Andrew Camarata videos I already watched in full

one playlist of all Andrew Camarata videos ...

two new to me videos of other people doing related things (TILE PLOWING, fixing a trailer)

one new video related to my overall subscriptions

This is pretty much the norm on YT right now, 3 new recommendations, 17 videos you already saw.

Its comments like yours also who are responsible for creating reddit news circlejerk.

Trump is not good but is he as messed up as you are saying?

Maybe not because I felt the democrats were as horrible if not more. Look at their SJW stance, shitty things done to remove trump at any cost, berating anyone who dosnt fall in line with their shitty policies, supporting BLM rioters, playing victim card for everything
You can create a RES[1] filter to remove the Trump keyword, or any other of your choice.

Carefully pruning your subscribed subreddit list makes Reddit worth it. I still get value from buildapc, homeassistant, patientgamer, ipod, rugbyunion, and some others that concern other interests and hobbies.

I do agree that people shoe-horning Trump into everything is extremely annoying.

For me, kitchen tools are mostly metal and wood, with a few silicone spatulas. Containers are mostly ceramics, with some glasses.

The only plastics in kitchen necessary for me are cling wraps. There are a few other hings out of my control: the nob of the pot lid and the dish soap container. But they all have viable alternatives if the manufacturers are willing.

Plastic cups, plates, bowls are unsafe close to heat sources, a lot harder to clean than everything else, and just feels cheap. I really don't get the popularity of plastics in kitchen.
Online, platforms with downvote systems (HN included) present the apparent legitimacy of certain views over others, and help reinforce what you shouldn't be thinking or voicing (don't get greyed out by posting that!).

Corrective upvotes are a tradition on HN. If you aren't being an asshole, some people will upvote you back to neutral if they think you are being downvoted for the wrong reasons.

You just have to have a little courage of conviction and patience and not start editing your post in reaction to voting or complaining about it, etc.

HN does a much better job than most platforms of allowing people to genuinely express a minority view -- assuming they can follow the guidelines and not bitch about the voting and not get reactive and inflammatory because of baggage, etc.

It's not an easy thing to do, but it can be done here, unlike most platforms.
