You say you don't care what my views are, but all of your responses suggest otherwise.

And yes, I'm right. It's sometimes right to have views outside social norms.

However, my views are not "outside social norms", unless you only count members of the full-on right, and full-on left as "social norms". My views are right in between those two.

Edit: "You can still be outside norms without being at the fringes." Hehe, we used to have a name for this: centrist. I know your kind hates us even worse than Trump supporters. They're beyond your influence, but you know that bullying, shaming, and harassment can "convince" many centrists. Well, not this one.

And boy, I screwed up by saying 1990s moderate Democrats. I should have said a 2008 Obama moderate, which is basically the same thing but few would dare call him "far right". BTW, I voted for him in 2008 (but not 2012).
You still have to handle the case where your transaction fails though. So you actually end up writing the same thing you'd do if you didn't have transactions: you issue an attempt to reserve, wait for the response to that attempt (whether that's transaction commit succeeding/failing or a queue processor processing), and handle both possible results. The transaction support doesn't actually help you because it's at the wrong level to be useful.
Google controls the chrome browser, angularjs and google cloud UI. With the smartest engineers, we still see a shitty user experience.

Just goes to say hiring engineers doesn’t solve problems. Focusing relentlessly on user experience, having performance and reliability as an org goal gets things done.

As you add more people, each of them has less autonomy on the customer experience.
This may be off topic and probably person specific, but what made you change your mind?
why not? This harms no one
For quite some time too.
How does that change the point?

The claim wasn't how to do it fast, per se. It was how to do it efficiently. And comparing two algorithms of the same order can have a wide difference in the answer.

Some color to this: it's less than 2% of North American domains, the number of signed zones has actually dropped in some intervals, and it's practically nonexistent among big companies with security teams. Google isn't DNSSEC-signed. Neither is Microsoft. Or Facebook. Or Amazon (whose DNS service, Route53, doesn't implement DNSSEC). Or, last I checked, any US bank.

You can check this for yourself: make a list of domains, and then write a trivial script:

#!/bin/sh
while read domain
do
ds=$(dig ds $domain +short)
echo "$domain $ds"
done
Have you ever sold anything on Facebook Marketplace? It's shockingly easy. I'm relatively late to the party. When I used it for the first time earlier this year I felt like it was the wave of the future.
Eh, the main problem with frequent trading is transaction costs (fees + bid/ask spread), if that cost is low then they are just increasing volatility (if anything) but not changing expectation (relative to a relevant basket of stock they are trading).
> Had Trump won, and Biden voters were publishing content like this with the same lack of evidence, do you believe that Democratic senators would still be urging YouTube to take it down in the interest of fairness to Trump? I think you know the answer to that.

The premise here is that both sides are just as likely to push misinformation on behalf of their team. The Democrats aren't perfect, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking that they would engage in the exact same tactics and rhetoric as the GOP if the shoe were on the other foot.

I'll flip the question around. Had Trump won, would the Democratic party be publishing content like this with the same lack of evidence? I think you know the answer to that.
How many times. One time? A thousand times? The ideas have been engaged with. At what point can we stop?
I like the idea of adding the GitHub Gist as a backend.

If YouTube does as good a job as Facebook, then I have zero faith it won't just become partisan censorship. I have seen "False Information" labels on Facebook posts which were linked to "fact checking articles" which confirmed the post as true rather than false.
HiFiBerry is a great DAC for the RPi. I am at this moment listening to Oneohtrix Point Never, streaming from my iPhone to my RPi via shariport, through their DAC, into an old JVC silver face receiver to some EPIs set to 16Ω.

This is the setup they are targeting with this distro. But Raspbian does just fine for the use case. Not sure what stripping it down further accomplishes unless they’re targeting an even smaller platform.
Please help me to understand: If I deploy my apps as Docker images anyway why would I need this? Deno 1.6 just packages the runtime creating a huge file, still smaller than a Docker image but with latter I have a better deployment experience meaning there's a huge ecosystem and tooling around. No rant, just trying to get what I miss.
This may be true for small lifestyle type businesses.

But some problems can only be solved with VC money. Because of time limitations.

You may only have a small window of opportunity to capture a certain market.

If you grew linearly, and built up product idea A, in order to fund product idea B, in order to fund product idea C, then by the time you’re done with product idea B, a decade may have passed by. You’ve also grown older, and may not have the energy of your younger self anymore.

Also, a competitor, one with a larger funding pool, may have jumped in and captured that market, right in front of you.
Every week this email newsletter deep dives into a part of internet culture
The concept is that every week my subscribers send me things they find on the internet and I go down the rabbit hole to not only explain what it means, but dig deep and link to other things that provide context and are generally interesting in internet culture.

My goal right now is to grow the newsletter with free subscribers and introduce a paid option for $9/mo when I get a larger amount of subscribers. My goal is eventually have at least 10,000 paid subscribers.

I'd love feedback on anything, but most of all any ideas on acquisition or partnership
You should really try again if you haven't tried in the past month or two. Steam recently released proton 5.13 into the list of proton releases, and since then, a great percent of games that didn't work in earlier 5.* releases have started working. Including Doom Eternal and now this game. Guessing they were prepping for this game.
Ethical vegan of ~10 years, I completely agree. To be against taking cultures for lab-grown meat, I think you'd also have to be against veterinary care, and trap-neuter-return programs, which similarly improve animal welfare by subjecting them to a medical procedure without their consent.
I think it dehumanizes humans.
Configuration Management is an anti-pattern. It's trying to constantly munge state to be back where you originally wanted it, rather than forcing it to remain one way and never deviate. All greenfield projects should be designed with version-controlled immutability in mind.

One example of how technology today is still kind of backwards is SQL databases. They have a crap operational model. Their schemas can mutate in odd, unversioned ways, and the data is pretty much a free-for-all, and both are lumped together in one weird mass. You can hack around it with flyway migrations, but this is a hack plain and simple. If it weren't for the convenience of the query language on simple datasets I'd never use them.

Similarly, trying to constantly "fix" the configuration of a system with a CM tool is like having a tea party at a mosh pit. Rather than having a tool designed to constantly correct a mutable system, you can instead build versioned, immutable artifacts, continuously deploy them, and roll them back immediately when tests fail. Even for entire OSes. Even on bare metal! But I guess because we don't have a lot of books on it yet, it doesn't seem to be the norm.

The industry hasn't really woken up to modern best practices. Take WordPress for example. Most WordPress installs are still these collections of manually curated random software and data in one big pot. There's no version control, there's no rollbacks, there's no testing... just back up everything all at once and restore it all if you break anything. And because of that, nobody updates anything, so security vulns abound. DevOps-oriented WordPress management has actually been around for at least 8 years, but almost nobody actually does it, because it's not immediately clear how, because the industry is stuck in two-decade-old paradigms.
By taxing the shit out of my property. I pay more in property tax in Texas than I did in income tax in CA. My property tax doesn't care how employed I am or how much money I'm pulling down either. It's probably going to nullify any appreciation on my home.

Lots of trade-offs.

The accounts of these people sound reasonably trustworthy but they're not alleging massive fraud, just problems at the polling place that led to overcounting.
> It's not really taught.

It is. This is one of the major outcomes of a strong history curriculum. Interpreting sources and narratives. Every single major university offers a four year degree that is basically nothing but this sort of thing. And engineers consistently yell and scream that it isn't real education.
This is such an incredibly apt comment.
Yeah article has a horrible title.
> How do we have a higher mail in ballot rejection rate in non-pandemic times than we do in pandemic times?

Probably because the rejection rate is exaggerated in normal times because the population that relies on absentee voting in regular times is less able to produce consistent signatures.

Also probably because a lot more effort (both official government and outside organization) went into educating people on the rules for mail-in ballots.

> And then follow up, if we assume incredible voter turnout, how do many of these first time mail in ballots follow the process so correctly that the ballot rejection rate is lower?

That's not a follow-up, it's just rephrasing the exact same question with different and more extensive framing commentary.
Imagine being so callous about putting 50,000+ people out of work overnight and calling it basically nothing.
Awesome if proton can make something like cyberpunk work on day 1, why not others? Why do they have to pretend theirs is some mythical special sauce unable to work on Linux ?

That said, why don't these mmo games give a Linux mode ? Pubg for example has mobile app, a lite app and a desktop lite app based on mobile. They are the same but they are matched with similar people only. Apply the same here. Give Linux users option to play the game, without the anti cheat and only match with similar Linux users. I get to deal with any potential cheaters
For me, I often have a sqlite client connected to my active database while my application runs to run adhoc queries to check application's state/structure... with a wasm implementation, that is simply not possible.
Whooooo! Lets go!

This is huge!
Excuse my ignorance, but what's the difference between dual licensing and a free software product?
It's a tricky area. The challenge is how to deal with bad actors who use the rules of the game to undermine the game itself.

We also have to acknowledge the context in which this is occurring; the people claiming fraud are also threatening violence against civil servants and their children.

"Georgia officials were similarly reticent until last week, when threats online targeted a young contract worker for Dominion Voting Systems, whose voting machines were used in the state. One post on Twitter included a swinging noose.

That day, Gabriel Sterling, the Republican in charge of the voting machines, walked to a podium visibly angry and demanded that Trump “stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence.”

In an interview with Reuters, Sterling said that he personally had received a message calling him a him “traitor” that included his home address. Someone else wished him a happy birthday in a tweet saying it would be his last."

Just like it's difficult when and what content to censor when it comes to things like the ISIS recruiting pipeline, it's hard to know where the line is with what is basically a far-right ideology which bleeds into domestic terrorism.
> One of the people they've surveyed was Nahshon Garrett

Yeah so here's the affidavit he has signed[1]. There's no evidence at all that he voted in AZ, only that his voter registration record was active, and his affidavit doesn't claim he voted or that he found that he voted, only that Braynard's organisation claims he did.

If you listen carefully to the interview, the story is the same there. When she asks what kind of vote it was he says "oh I don't know - I think it was an early vote or a provisional vote or something". He hasn't checked!

Braynard claims that he voted. But there is nothing verifying that at all that this is the case, and Braynard couldn't verify this independently. (I just checked - you need your Voter ID and/or SSN).

> As much as I'd love to have the actual data myself, I don't think he's going to just post it publicly. He started the project to verify whether the lists of supposedly dead voters that were floating around the web were real. The thing is that people who were posting them were all almost immediately banned for doxxing.

This is a BS excuse. He hasn't lodged it in any court cases, his page says he will post it but he hasn't.

One of the reasons everyone is so annoyed about this is because of this shitty grifter wrecking democracy to make a few bucks for themselves.

> What would confirm whether it's true or not is the state or the feds doing an investigation, but they don't seem to be interested in doing anything.

This of course is complete nonsense. There have been vast numbers of state and federal investigations into every alleged piece of fraud. But there is nothing there, especially not on the scale claimed.

> But one way or another, removing his fundraiser was a complete bullshit.

It really wasn't. He was raising money by alleging fraud occurred and he was going to blow the lid on it all.

Carefully trying to work around their restrictions by pretending it was "just in case" - when the President of the United States is making these claims - is clearly bad faith.

Yeah fair enough. I'd argue that this is kind of a double standard (a traditional RDBMS may well be copies of "deleted" data on dirty pages, and may well leave that data on the physical disk indefinitely, for much the same reasons as Kafka does - it just makes it a bit fiddlier for you to access it), but your legal team may decide that it's required.

I don't think your overall scorn is warranted - there are bigger problems that are endemic to RDBMS deployments, and the advantages of a stream-first architecture are very real - but there are genuine difficulties around handling data obliteration and it's something you need to design for carefully if you're using an immutable-first architecture and have that requirement.
Any political topic on Hacker News tends to bring out emotionally charged commentary. Anyone going against the prevailing ideology gets voted down into a light gray shade that is almost impossible to read. I love the technology discussions here, but when it comes to sociology and politics and topics like Big Tech censorship, it's tediously one sided.

I fully believe this. Like I noted in another comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25358847, they have done this exact similar thing in the past with the JBoss application server community edition.
The word you're looking for is 'speculating'. I.e. gambling...
I guess every place is jam-packed with cool stuff if you're the kind of person who actively goes out and hunts for cool stuff. I could go on-and-on about So-Cal, but I guess the die-hard Nor-Cal folks could do the same. I know I've blown a fair number of weekends at Morro Bay, the Monterey Bay aquarium, and wandering around The Mission. Haven't gotten around to San Jose yet. Maybe after this whole thing blows over. My buddy keeps trying to get me to go up for the Cherry Blossom festival.

I hadn't heard that tiki bars were a thing! That's pretty cool. Talk about a blast from the past.

With regards to real estate prices, that is one thing where I can really, really understand people's complaints. Even down in So-Cal you can see desert cabins on the market for $300k. I figured a bubble would burst at some point, but it hasn't so far. Maybe with more WFH folks who don't really want to be here can go somewhere that they can get more bang for their buck in terms of property, and the die-hard California folks can catch a break on real estate prices.

Cheers though! Good to hear from someone who isn't so down on California. It really is a cool place, and it's easy to take it for granted until you've spent some time in the Midwest.
> What exactly is unwitting coordination?

They were being used by Russian agents without being aware of it.
Not quite. I tested this and it crashed about 15 minutes in. Also there are graphical errors like missing faces, no sound, T-posing NPC's, etc. I'm using both the latest stable Proton and Experimental.
In another comment I mention, that I often use a desktop sqlite client to actively connect to the operation sqlite database an application may be running against. Wasm will not support this, even with the workaround above.
This is anecdotal but I started using TikTok during the pandemic and it has greatly reduced my use of Facebook. Mindlessly scrolling the TikTok ForYouPage is noticably superior to scrolling the Facebook feed

Wow, I've seen plenty of whataboutism before, but I've never seen hypothetical whataboutism until this comment...
Fair point. I suppose I find that the positive language is more harmonious with the actual test outcome, which was a success.
github is great, both web and mobile (especially mobile). and their new homepage is great too.

target's item pages are really good right now. I love the information density and layout on their site, which to me is suggestive of thoughtful human-oriented design rather than amazon's (highly effective) a/b test shit shoveling.

amazon has "ship-it" UI standards and a lot of variance in page section order (could be a/b testing, or just discrete developer teams).

they have lots of really interesting ideas scattered around for how they can reach customers with unique contextual information, but I have a hard time with how dynamic the layout is and they also don't know how to make good hero pages. too many over-compressed image banners and image tables.

amazon and github both have crappy search which is kind of interesting to me. amazon sort basically doesn't work either, for price or for rating. not sure why.

> How would we know [media literacy isn’t enough]? It's not really taught. As you pointed out later, it's not just "media literacy," it's "thinking for yourself," "critical thinking," "skepticism," "reasoning."

While I also think it is true that we do a terrible job in general of educating people to think critically, it is not simply a failure of education—or at least, not in the traditional sense of “if you just force knowledge into someone, they will understand it”. I feel like there is real merit to the idea that media literacy may not be enough to save us from the firehose of the internet. Human brains are reckless and love to engage in motivated reasoning, filtering, and other cognitive distortions to protect us from information that threatens our core values.

I’ve known engineers with impeccable critical thinking and reasoning skills—but only when they were programming. On other matters, where any sort of emotional or value judgment was involved, they would uncritically accept false information which meshed with their belief of how the world is. For example, someone once told me that they didn’t think that vaccination actually caused the decline in measles rates because the MMR vaccine wasn’t developed until after infections started going down. OK, great, valid reasoning, except their next thought should’ve been that maybe there was a different measles vaccine that came first (because there was). They didn’t go there, though, because they have a deeply held belief that vaccines are bad/scary, and their brain conveniently suppressed the critical thinking process that might’ve lead them to need to reevaluate their position.

You might argue that this person doesn’t have “true” critical thinking skills, and maybe that’s true, but I also know that I tell myself stories and avoid seeking out contradictory evidence in order to protect some of my most deeply held beliefs—even though truth and honesty are what I value above all else. Some cows are just too sacred.

> Journalism has failed because it was bought out by corporate interests who have a vested interest in a particular narrative.

I feel like this is a reductive answer to a very complex problem. I think you’re spot on that the market is not incentivising high quality reporting, but there are many factors at play beyond “journalists got bought out” and “educational standards are bad”. There are so many diverse interests who don’t want people to think critically, including a lot of ordinary people! It’s hard to think critically all of the time. The world is unfathomably complex. You and I may be hanging on, just barely, thanks to genetic and/or socioeconomic lotteries giving us slightly better hands in life. Most people don’t have those advantages and are highly motivated to pound reality into an uncomplicated place where there are only two distinct genders, or all cops are bastards, or it’s all the mainstream media’s fault, or we can save the planet from global warming by just planting a trillion trees, or whatever. There’s no one single source of this quagmire, and no One Simple Trick that will solve it.
Yeah, if you're running around in a rainbow-colored, "I Love Sucking Cock" t-shirt, or wearing a, "Communism is the Bestism" shirt or some stupid shit like that, then yeah, you're not going to like rural Texas.

Newsflash, you're not going to like upstate New York, either.
