https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25197967 is correct: it means it's the most recent post by that user.

This is one of those things that pops into your head and takes 2 minutes to deploy, so I just did it. It was late last night and I forgot to not turn it on for everyone. Then I thought it would be fun to see what sort of discussion I'd wake up to.

Not sure whether to keep it. Advantage: it's a concise way of displaying some surprisingly useful information—useful to mods, at least, but I think maybe also to readers.

Disadvantage: it's obscure. The inconsistency will drive some people nuts. We'll have "Ask HN: Why do some times on HN have a full stop at the end?" threads for the rest of our lives. (No one reads the FAQ. The FAQ, you say? Why yes, at the bottom of every HN page: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html...)

It also leaks when a user posted something later and deleted it. We could fix that, but as so often in software, it would make the thing way more complicated. So I'll probably just drop it.

Edit: dropping it.

The critical mass problem is the most difficult social problem to solve. Just have to make something people want to use and if they want to use it, they'll share it. That's the idea anyway.
Anecdotes:

Company on a downward trend will tend to go all in on employee surveillance and analytics, other companies on an upward trajectory gives their employee much more freedom to do whatever they want.

I have worked at both (and fortunately at the latter right now). It's hard to say which is the cause and which is the result.

NeXTStep/OpenStep had a great development environment and was full of innovation but even in the '90s it had old BSD components that were rarely updated and it really wasn't a great unix. Mac OS X has followed that pattern. Also Mach was inherently slow so running OpenStep on x86 hardware was slower than Linux or Windows - in Mac OS X they finally gave up on a pure microkernel and flattened the kernel to reduce the overhead of message passing through the BSD personality layer to Mach. But folks running OpenStep were running it for the RAD development tools and EOF that let you quickly design a UI with a very usable ORM that allowed you to take a desktop app and turn it into a webapp via WebObjects seamlessly. They complained about the *nix layer even then, but the unix layer was adequate and you could compile newer versions of tools you needed then as now.

>The PPS standard refers to the power supply can exchange data with the power supply every ten seconds, so that the power supply can dynamically adjust the output voltage and current according to the condition of the receiving product specifications.

This isn't suitable for this.
In general you do not do any high frequency modulation in the power supply, this is not the component for that.

You put your capacitors and the switching required where it's needed more or less the supply can be constant.

I only used git and MS team foundation server once. Never going to use that again, you cannot imagine how slow that monster was. It had VS integration, but it was such a bad product overall.

Used SVN previously for private stuff and I think it is still spread in many companies. I liked it, just all the small folders are a PITA and git is faster for larger repositories. It had far better tools than git in my opinion, TortoiseSVN. Heavy, but practical.

I would always use git now, even if only locally.
I'm not sure any network can grow explosively without having the users submit their contacts from a previous network (email, facebook or phone, for example). And the "ethical" competitors don't want to do this, so they can't compete.

The meaning of music has fundamentally changed over the last 100 years, and especially in the last 20.

The number of working pro musicians has dropped by something like 95%, so has the amount of live music.

Partly due to recorded music of course (weddings would have had a band, now they have a DJ), and in the last 20 years because music is 'something else'.

Visit the Billboard 200 right now, and you'll see that almost none of it cay be 'played live'.

What's to play (?), an mp3?

Chief Keef went on tour and his performance was, walking out on stage cranked up with his buddies, while they played his track over the loudspeakers. They didn't even bother to remove the lyrics or change the track. Just played the track. Then he drunkenly stumbled around the stage, incoherently mumbling some of his own rap words against the already mostly incoherent rap lyrics on his own track.

Crowd goes wild.

I went to a 'Brazil/France/USA' rap-fusion thing in Montreal, I was very excited, the track started, the 'hype man' with 'big hair came out' and said 'heyo' , then 'yo yo yo', then 'ayeee' about ever 10-15 seconds, getting the crowd going.

But he wasn't the hype man - that was the act.

That was his 'performance'. Just saying 'yo yo yo' a few times now and again over some track. And people paid for that.

Modern pop acts are no longer musicians, they are 'creative famous people'. Music is just one 'angle' on being famous, it blends in with TikTok/YouTube/Instagram as one big smear of 'trying to be popular'.

So there's a lot of good serious music, but it's a side-show like it never was before, so there probably needs to be some conscientious efforts to support it.

We spend some money supporting 'Orchestral' music partly out of a benevolent view, we're likely going to have to do the same for 'live music'.

The reaction between carbon dioxide and alkaline earth silicates is thermodynamically spontaneous in the presence of water, but kinetically hindered. It's a reaction with slow diffusion of reactants through the product layer, limited by surface area. So crush rocks rich in alkaline earth silicates and distribute them in near-shore environments. It's an artificially accelerated version of the geological carbon cycle. It still requires vast-in-absolute-terms amounts of energy to crush billions of tons of rock, but it's not running uphill against thermodynamics.

Having developed and launched a database (TerminusDB) built on a Rust core, this makes me slightly nervous. Feels like the evil empire will bring both great riches and great peril to the fantastic Rust community (part of the reason we picked Rust). Guaranteed sponsors for conferences, but also a certain malignant cynicism (am I being too harsh?). AWS will also aggressively compete for the best talent, which is tricky when you are small and open source.

This tweet is likely referring to the fact that you can place special constructs in the YAML/JSON files to add control flow, thereby making it a crude templating language.
I had the Toshiba AC100 "smartbook", one of the first and few Android netbooks... Even after overclocking the shit out of its Tegra 2, it's still slow as hell, mostly because of the low RAM and slow internal storage and SD card controller (swap just doesn't cut it). But the keyboard was really nice.
Probably netbooks. I have a...I think 9.7" netbook from ASUS I bought for grad school that was quite frankly one of the best pieces of personal electronics I've ever purchased and served me for years.

It had a (for the time) a large 250GB hard drive, ran Windows 7 and pretty much everything you could think of available for Windows at the time (at least everything needed for a grad program). I ran Cygwin, putty, all of MS-Office, yED, did some Python stuff on it, some Protégé modeling, lots of research and websurfing. On downtime I watched movies, and played some light games on it.

720p screen, some USB ports, a usable keyboard, SD-card slot, VGA out, hard-line networking and wifi and decent battery life. It cost ~$350 and went around the world with me at least a dozen times as a photographer's computer -- still works just fine except the battery is fried. Dump the SD card from the camera into it and preview photos, do some minor editing and color correcting. It's not fast, but better than the camera and kept my entire kit down to a small sling bag so I could shoot on the go and keep my entire "studio" on me at all times.

My only complaint was I wish it had a bit more RAM and CPU power. But for something the size of a large paperback book it absolutely rocked.

Fun story, my wife launched her startup right after grad school and it was in a kind of testing phase. Things looked kind of settled for a while and we had a vacation overseas planned so we went. When we arrived she received an automated notice that her VMs were maxing out, which made no sense as nobody was really using the service. We brought that netbook with us to a coffee shop in Rome that had free wi-fi, downloaded the Google App Engine dev tools (including Eclipse!) and she was able to save her company right when it was picked up by some news agencies and was getting slammed with users, but needed more VMs allocated to scale out.
I use Curl exclusively. As far as command-line interfaces go, it's not that bad. Some of the command-line arguments are a lie though, and do less or more than they claim. So my trick is, I just copy-paste a big multi-line Curl command from my notes every time, and edit it as needed.
That first picture looks so much like a colorized shot from an original Twilight Zone episode. The flight suits (military surplus, and sort of timeless), the (foam and plaster?) rocky background, the big mysterious artifact (that happens to be really cheap and easy for a prop department to source), and no other items lying around to easily date the picture...
With this logic there should be no new programming languages ever until there’s a paradigm shift in computing.
Your entire complaint is about high rents, not about cars.

If you had less intra city public transport and biking you would take even longer to get to your destination in the city because now you’d be taxing the same roads with people who are going 2 kms via car instead of on a bike.
Further, as happened in many American cities, entire neighborhoods would be razed to build highways and parking lots to support those cars further reducing housing capacity in the city center, and making housing even more expensive.
Good to read that.

I really like AWS products and Rust is the first system programming language I'm really interested in.
Why do you need to rewrite them? Rust can call C++ code, just like Java and Python can. (I note you list Python libraries like Tensorflow and PyTorch as C++, which is accurate because they're written in C++, but they're certainly heavily used from a non-C++ language.)
It could be eye strain. I suffered from that and migraines and couldn't tell the difference between them. They felt the same, had the same duration, everything about them felt identical.

A previous town I lived near took a few years to get started with Municipal fiber. First they wired up city offices/departments, schools, etc, in a traditional fiber network. They had a few years experiance with it. Then added a few commercial customers, and then a few apartment buildings downtown near their core.

Once they decided to do municipal fiber, it took at least 2 years to see anything. They had to:

- Test offering video/phone, and setup contracts to become a telco and TV provider with the state, regulators, etc
- Negotiate video rebroadcast rights, find upstream telephony providers, etc

- Hire some consultants to help them plan out their GPON network, and decide what equipment to buy, and where to locate it to cover the entire town.

- Build the initial short fiber run to a brand new neighborhood that was getting built, and have them 'beta-test' the setup.

- Hired some contractors that specialize in running data cables to do the runs through town, but they had to wait at least 7 months for them to be free of other major projects before they could get started

- start building out the network from the central locations out to the suburbs. This meant larger building near downtown get first shot at access, as they are the first ones passed. Tunneling under streets, sidewalks, etc, rather than digging it all up is pretty spendy, and slow.
> People don’t give the United States enough credit for how well we have assimilated our Muslim immigrants.

To be fair, the US also got a lot of Lebanese, and Iranians to come over. A lot of these people were Doctors and Lawyers back home.

I came upon this idea in trying to understand the Circle of Fifths (in music). I still would like to put that one on a "logarithmic wheel", another day. But in the process I was excited to come up with this visualization of a logarithmic scale which I'd never seen before.

A better rule of thumb is 1 gallon of gasoline is ~20 lbs of C02. That puts things on a more personal level.

Another one is 1 lb of C02 per kwh of electricity. That one is subject to obfuscation or confusion because it is dependent on the source of electricity.

To not impede the efforts of the people trying to install Linux on MacBooks. You could always argue the Apple's measures are for the non-tech users' safety and I'm inclined to agree but they aren't helping the libre OS scene either.

It's, to me at least, clearly visible that Linux isn't welcome on MacBooks.
I mean, iPhones run Darwin, too, and yet Apple considers any successful attempt to run something other than its own builds of a specific Darwin derivative to be a "security bug" rather than, you know, people using the hardware they bought and ostensibly own as they see fit.
My (wild) guess is that it would be very hard to come up with a universal algorithm that doesn't exhibit this characteristic, due to some sort of effect that's comparable to the class imbalance problem, but with added feedback effects.

And there a few law firms that specialize in shaking down cities across the US for large settlements.

While ADA access is important, it is not often the most important thing. But the lawsuits are forcing $100+ million settlements that take any prioritization of resources out of the hands of local voters or local legislatures.

Why spend $300million on sidewalks 'right now' when other services may be more effective (e.g., on demand shuttles, etc.)
"AWS Hero" is probably more relevant than "Putnam Fellow" here. ;-)

But seriously, it's clear making this more efficient isn't a priority for them, and I completely understand and respect that. I ignore plenty of good advice for the same reason: "Working on more important stuff in Tarsnap right now".

I don't think rewrites should be the primary talking point, but rather using it for new applications, especially in memory safety critical environments like kernel modules.

You have a SaaS product in there.
There are good managers that don't know what you are doing if you don't work in a pure software house. But they know how to work with that by setting goals, talking with you about it and when you deliver they start to appreciate you and your work even if they don't know anything about the details.

Hard to get those in larger corps though. It seems to always degrades to bullshit, no idea why. There are exceptions but it still seems to be a clear pattern.
I think you mean Wasm; asm.js is dead.

This is pretty close to "running" TypeScript.
Health is big, it tracks heart rate data for years, has step analysis to calculate how much movement is being done(gps data being loaded as well as accelerometer data) Also sleep analysis.

I'm curious why you think "the wealthy don't greatly contribute to growth and the relatively poor do." We'd also probably need to define at what point one becomes "wealthy" and what the range is for "relatively poor."

Most flat tax proposals I've seen exempt the first $x. So it ends up that the people hurt the most by common flat tax proposals are the middle and lower-middle class. Upper-middle is basically the same effective tax rate and beyond that pays substantially less. The only time I've seen the upper brackets pay a higher ETR under a flat tax is if it includes all unearned income which is almost never the case.

I stopped trusting Ethereum in 2017 at the Parity multisig bug: https://blog.comae.io/the-280m-ethereums-bug-f28e5de43513

Even in the bug fix there wasn't any unit testing involved. I'm using multisig to store all my Bitcoins, so it scared me extremely. With Bitcoin I read through the multisig code (stack machine) before putting money onto the blockchain. With Ethereum the code changes so fast, that with all the hard forks I wouldn't be able to verify the code. ,,Don't trust, verify'' doesn't work there.
