Journalism was a very coveted field 50 years ago. Lots of bright people wanted to work there. Nowadays there are many interesting and rewarding jobs for people with good education, and the news industry is losing resources to social networks and online classified sites.

A similar analysis can be applied to explain the decline in the quality of school teachers. Women used to have very few work opportunities in the past, and many of the brightest ones would end up teaching. That's not the case anymore, there are many more rewarding paths nowadays, like getting a law degree.

So, please don't assume the quality of journalism has dropped because the literacy level of society has fallen.
In my opinion, the body and mind tell a person exactly what they need to be happy. If we could murder people that offended us, or force sex from a mate we desired, took what we wanted etc. life would be a bed of roses. I genuinely believe the person would be absolutely content. The problem is this is inconsistent with how to live as a society and this is the root of all human suffering.
Much better discussion with the proper answer provided. Everybody here should read this.

Or you can simply use holds_alternative with a simple if expression. A little bit less efficient, but much more readable
It is AFAIK a very standard approach to treat two interacting quantum systems (e.g. two electrons) as "measuring" each other and work with density matrices and partial traces to see how the "measurement" is evolving and what is each system "seeing". You might be interested in learning about the field of quantum decoherence.
Is this even a trick? If you're setting up PiHole, you gotta recognize right away that this is an obvious way for devices to bypass it.
Yeah, probably not. You might as well say that "carpet" means "a domestic animal that inhabits your automobile", because "car"+"pet".

Generally speaking, you can't get at the meaning of a word by decomposing it into its etymological roots, even if you're lucky or educated enough to pick the correct roots.

For a nice (heh) example of why, look up the etymology of the word "nice", for example, here:

In all honesty my two responses would be COBOL and simplicity-focused PHP/HTML5/{SQLite/MySQL}.

COBOL/FORTRAN/Prolog/etc type applications are out there, apparently, and if you're in the right place at the right time you can entrench reasonably effectively, at least short term.

However, these types of jobs also have their own unique pain points. This recent article (they surface reasonably frequently on here), and the comments, make for good reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25148840

As for PHP+et al, I recommend these for their overall simplicity, relatively low learning curve, and ability to scale "well enough", for above-average values of "well enough". PHP itself isn't the most ideally designed language, but it can actually get things done. Furthermore, its reputation as a "simple" or "stupid" language, like eg VB6, can also serve to catalyze the upper bound of expected complexity of a particular solution. This has the downside of maybe a bit of isolation from truly interesting challenges, but allows for a slower/relaxed and perhaps more maintainable pace. (And there's nothing stopping you building something Facebook-sized if you needed to.)

On the client side, HTML5 is expansive and... very backward compatible with how things have been done for the past 20 years. Elitist forum commentators may make snooty noises about your use of tables, but Chrome won't. JavaScript could be a harder language to reason about, especially for simple enhancements like fetching bits of data which won't require learning pages of theory first.

Finally, my recommendation to focus on the Web is that, well, once you grumble and context-switch to "ugh, fine, HTML+JS", everything else can roll in incrementally as you go along.

With something stuck in the 80s/90s, sure, you guarantee that you're completely isolated from the firehose... at the cost of being objectively less economically viable in industry.
> But I can see why people up their dosages.

I would suggest you REALLY self assess carefully - are you not sleeping because of actual fresh pain? Or are you not sleeping because your body wants a nice fuzzy cloud of opioids to crash on?

Your first night of sober sleep is going to be a bit tougher no matter what, I suggest you try acedominophen and ibuprofen alternating to cut the surgical pain but you'll still need to get through the lack of narcotics
why so skeptical? surely there are ways to absorb 10x more information in the same time.
ClickHouse is great OLAP database with outstanding performance! It can be used for collecting and querying observability data [1]. But it may be hard to properly design database schema for ClickHouse for storing general-purpose observability data. That's why we created VictoriaMetrics - purpose-built time series database, which is based on ClickHouse architecture ideas [2]. It just works out of the box without the need to design database schema, while providing outstanding performance [3].

The cold chain for the Pfizer vaccine is tougher, but otherwise it's not radically different than flu vaccination (we do ~150 million of those each year in the US). The production estimates are coming from the vaccine companies also, so less likely to be victims of the administrative decline.
The GP claims that Colombia is too addicted to US foreign aid to make a move like this. So I countered that ending internal conflict would greatly decrease the need for that aid.

How do you expect the US to force Colombian domestic policy otherwise?

Also next time you suggest/imply that U.S. has control over another nation's domestic policy, at least spell the country's name correctly.
I'm not an expert in this space, but professional displays (e.g., screens mounted in airports, and the like) do not seem notable for their cinematic visual quality-- usually they have a washed out appearance. They're reliable screens, but not made for watching movies.

Having a disease ravage a country, kill friends and family, while the government does almost nothing to help, with millions upon millions of people say it’s a hoax or conspiracy, tends to have that effect on people.

The consequences of living in a failed state are something very few Americans are equipped to deal with using anything besides denial or extreme precaution. Maybe we can ask some people who survived Russia in the 90s what the right course of action should be.

Do not dare suppose you know where others should find value.

Your subjective feelings as 1 in 7 billion are not universal truth.

Why are real world laws around moderation ok but online should be different? Does that communication not have a real world effect?

Yet another human pipe dream fed to the masses to empower corporations, rile the public up about government interference (never mind laws enable tech corp meddling in our lives; cognitive dissonance among smart people is a thing). And now you’re doing free political lobbying.

Understand, my freedom of speech is intact without the web. Probably even more so without technology watching me at work and home. For what? Turning my lights on and off with my voice?

ML applied to science and engineering are one thing. Filtering people with rough edge incomplete statistical tools (described as such by experts) is just awful on the surface of it.

Pretty sure what’s good for social stability is not giving up our agency to nation state political demands. Believing that society is too big to fail. Seems every time societies do that they die. The more people it pushes aside the less internal support it has.

So respectfully, I disagree.
The amount of complexity you can have in a system without it falling over is finite. You need to find simple tools, or at least comprehensible abstractions and simple compositions, to solve complex problems. You can only afford to use complex tools when solving simple problems.
> and occasionally just highjack every single query to send you to a page saying you’re approaching your bandwidth quota

It boggles my mind it's still a problem in some countries. Last time I saw this kind of notice it was in the nineties, and on a web server, definitely not on a client endpoint. People have had unlimited bandwidth for at least a decade now.
The “privacy “ comes from proxying the connection to Reddit. If you run it locally every post viewed will be seen by them.
Isn't that partly just a prediction of vaccine production/uptake/effectiveness rates?

After all, if the world can only produce 2 billion doses of vaccine a year it'll be a few years before international travel is back to normal.

Some of the people surveyed may even have responded before vaccine clinical trial results came out...
Is a highway billboard vandalism when the owner of that billboard is allowing the ad?

Or are you referencing computers with ads in them (websites, etc.)? By that definition, anything disproving a conspiracy theorist is vandalism to them. That’s not how that works.
Looks cool, any idea about how this compares to something like Moi 3D, another popular nurbs/spline based 3D modeler for designers?
On the third example about a food delivery service issuing cards for couriers: isn't this what Marqeta already does for Doordash? Is Stripe doing anything differently with Treasury?
As much as I agree social "science" is often flawed, your flippant dismissal of an entire field with an extensive pedigree strikes me as unlikely to come from a place of knowledge and familiarity.
Thanks for the tip. Is there a trade off ? Do they support 4k HDR and/or 120 Hz ?
SPARQL isn't too far off! and Wikidata provides a really fun query service for it. https://query.wikidata.org/
Unfortunately yes, as described in this article published in Nature in April (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01003-6):

"Ferguson is one of the highest-profile faces in the effort to use mathematical models that predict the spread of the virus — and that show how government actions could alter the course of the outbreak. “It’s been an immensely intensive and exhausting few months,” says Ferguson, who kept working throughout his relatively mild symptoms of COVID-19. “I haven’t really had a day off since mid-January.”

Research does not get much more policy-relevant than this. When updated data in the Imperial team’s model indicated that the United Kingdom’s health service would soon be overwhelmed with severe cases of COVID-19, and might face more than 500,000 deaths if the government took no action, Prime Minister Boris Johnson almost immediately announced stringent new restrictions on people’s movements. The same model suggested that, with no action, the United States might face 2.2 million deaths; it was shared with the White House and new guidance on social distancing quickly followed (see ‘Simulation shock’)."
Explosively Hydroforming a Steel Sphere
The “good attitude” line is a form of toxic positivity, actually. Getting evicted sucks and it’s perfectly rational to be upset about it. What matters is how you move on from it, and you did and it sounds like your life is much better now.
>So you're asking how to do it without a tool that was specifically designed for that purpose?

Yes, you are correct. This is a hobby project of mine, and one of the goal was to make old.reddit.com like UI without no JS at all. That's what I will do.

>I really don't get the hate for JS these days.

Unnecessary Javascript bloats websites, hogs system resources, enables surveillance, hinders accessibility that’s native to devices and clients, and introduces vulnerabilities.

Of course in this case using JS to hide/show comment tree wouldn't really be that bad, but works fairly well without it. Not many have complained.
Because you made a zero effort joke that has been worn to the absolute bone by people repeating it thousands of times per year in HN comments, rather than at least putting in a bit of thought as to what the risk is for this service. Here's a quick attempt:

Track record: 8888 has been running for more than ten years.

Popularity: It appears to be incredibly widely used; e.g. a research paper from 2013 claimed it was serving 7% of all end user DNS queries, and Wikipedia claims that in 2018 it answered a trillion DNS requests per day (i.e. 10M qps).

Business value: It is true that there is no direct revenue here. But I'm pretty sure that the original reason for launching it was defensive. A lot of Google's networking projects have clearly been driven by trying to ensure that users can connect straight and reliable to Google's services with no interference from middleboxes, since every request lost to interference is also lost ad revenue.

Crappy ISP DNS servers that serve spam pages instead of NXDOMAIN are a pretty big vector here.
By not collapse I mean no specific outcome is selected. The waveform simply gets directly translated as the distribution of universes. With effectively infinite universes the odds of someone being in an unusual one are directly proportional to how unusual it is.

You can’t experimentally differentiate between MWI and single universe wave function collapse.
This is as true with React as it is with Wordpress. I can’t speak as to wider trends, but anyone using Gatsby or Next.is and deploying on Netlify or Vercel is going to be getting good caching and use of a CDN by default.

My point was that the amount of client-side bloat in a Wordpress personal site seems to be higher than the equivalent React site, and the overall performance seems to be worse.
Getting people to add another device like a Pihole or a separate router with better filtering capabilities isn’t going to be an option that most people can handle by themselves.

This solution would definitely not work for DNS Over HTTPS (DoH), which I’m guessing will soon become prevalent in many devices. It also seems like DNS Over TLS (DoT) isn’t going to get as much traction exactly because it’s easier to block.

As other comments have said, (for those who’re able to do it) not configuring any connection for the device sounds like a good start, but even that has caveats about the device connecting to nearby open networks. So the best thing to do instead is to connect it to a network but not allow any communications to the Internet.
Thanks! One solution for this could be to install an add-on which redirects Reddit => Teddit. I've used add-on called Privacy Redirect: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redir...

But there are others too which can do the same, like: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/redirector/
Maybe there's some truth to what you're saying. But at the same time, there aren't many alternatives that tick all the boxes C++ does (performance, portability, maturity and stability). Together with the amount of C++ code that exists, I don't see C++ going away anytime soon.

Ironically, if one wants all of those things, the best alternative at the moment may be the C language.
I'm sceptical because information is not knowledge, and "absorbing 10x more information" is a misguided, bulimic goal in itself.

Plus it means absorbing knowledge in a more hasty, flimsy, way, while also giving false self-ideas of understanding.

If someone wants the cliff notes, or a bullet list, they should read the notes / a bullet list. As a practical advice for the 10x thing, those things do exist (websites who summarize all kinds of books and cliff notes versions of books, e.g.: https://fourminutebooks.com/summaries/).

They shouldn't skim a book 10x faster and then go on as if they've actually read it. That can somewhat be done with books full of filler (e.g. most self-help books). It's a non starter on literature (misses the whole point, which is not the "plot"), and on serious non-fiction.
I feel that there is a real need for permanent Storage with respect to Open Source.

Code breaks when old packages are unpublished or repositories deleted. Push once and fetch forever solves this.

Also Centralized solutions are providing open source collaboration tools for free, storage for free, because of their revenue from enterprise customers.

What happens when they decide to shut down? or change their policies? or just comply with wrongful takedown notices?
Agreed; but this isn't just a Google problem. Seems to me like a lot of SF (and SF-inspired) "big tech" wants to be known for their "wokeness"[1], which leads to hires like Timnit and other "politically-outspoken" people, which in turn leads to situations like this, James Damore, and other individuals/situations that amount to workplace political activism.

I am wholly uncomfortable with any discussion of politics in a workplace environment like a mailing list. I am more than fine with employees choosing to associate politically outside the workplace and workplace spaces, no matter how radical I find their views. This is in itself political - it supports the status quo - but anything else is inviting dissent and combativeness, and situations like these will keep happening.

That said, I've not seen the email outlining her conditions "or else", but I feel I'd have very much taken the same stance as you, given the surrounding coverage of what was in that email. Ultimatums to your employer don't often go well. And perhaps this is a good thing for her, because she may leave for a place that better suits her.

2. Get other setup, PC, AppleTV and use TV as dumb screen.

Issue solved.
Sorry to ask, but I don't understand the points you are making. Could you please elaborate on them? I had trouble with the last 2 paragraphs. Thanks
Is anyone on HN actively using this? I’ve had a hard time understanding what exactly I would use it for or what purpose it would serve beyond what integrations Home Assistant (for example) already provides.

Books I read before I launched my startup
algorithm is biased => we should fix it is reasonable, but also a misrepresentation of the argument that this whole thread is about, which is more along the lines of algorithm is biased => researchers are racist => the company that employs them is racist => the whole country is racist which definitely is driven more by ideology than reason.

I’m happy about people viewing the world differently and having an honest, good-faith discussion about the issues. But I’ll criticise intellectually dishonest arguments, like the moat-and-bailey you just pulled here.
If you opinion is about one of the technical meanings of the word publish outside of the reading of the law then your opinion the law.

Even achieving something comparable to prior year’s flu vaccination would not bring us anywhere close to the herd immunity threshold though. I’m not as concerned with production of the vaccine itself as the logistics involved. I find it hard to believe that a country that otherwise can’t deliver the basic protective necessities to frontline workers is suddenly going to pull out a logistical miracle out of their hats.
First of all you're literally wrong. I've seen people use it to buy things with.

But even accepting that the majority of existing holders are using it for speculation, why do we have to pre-ruin its ability to ever be used as a medium of exchange?

Acceptance obviously has network effects. The user doesn't have much incentive to set up crypto if nobody accepts it, and the vendor doesn't have much incentive to accept it if few of their customers have it set up. But everything starts that way. Then some large merchant or group thereof decides they want to promote its use and offers everybody a 15% discount for using it, so a third of their customers do so for the discount, and then millions of people have it set up and other vendors start accepting it now that there are a large enough population of customers. That hasn't happened yet, but what's your theory for why it never could?

Toxic Positivity: The Dark Side of Positive Vibes
It looks awful. Most languages should look like pseudo code, otherwise just accept defeat and admit you did not create an intuitive language (not everyone is good at making one). This is my biggest fear with arcane Typescript at the moment.

Edit: I have seen Typescript that looks like this, but some of you could more easily corroborate this claim that are working with it more persistently.
It’s not complex problems. It’s being close to the metal. Rust isn’t bad but it’s still not as good as C or C++ if you need to get every last bit of performance or need to be really close to the OS and hardware.

Rust is coming along though. It’s the first language I have seen that might unseat C++.
C++ is a simple tool with comprehensible abstractions. You just don't understand it because you don't have experience with how computers and compilers work under the hood of dynamic languages.
