HN NFR: Hacker News New Feature Request
I enjoy HN a lot, but I would like to see it improved a bit better. Nothing major, just a few more basic features will do.

1. Statistics Page. Counters of total registered users, total posts per category (like Ask HN for exp.), total comments per category, Total upvotes and downvotes for articles and comments.

2. Top Users. Similar like ledger, but with a bit more details like total posts/comments this users made, and there upvotes/downvotes.

3. User Profiles. A better way to add specific information like website, email, location, name etc. At least for those who choose to share that on HN.

4. Filters & Sorting. This maybe the biggest one for me personally. A better way to search on HN with filters and sorting. Like for example; keyword filter:security sort:byDate

5. Keywords or Hashtags. This will be useful for things like Filters and Sorting. Just a third textbox under title/url for this will do. Example; word1, word2, word3

(Any other ideas share in comments.)

And to all HN team thank you for keeping us entertained all this years!
You can easily transpile any C-syntax subset into C, if you use the right libraries. Same with Python, or Java, or MIT Scratch, or any other language I can think of.
For my work machine I don't care much about the price (to a point) or the power consumption. I want the fastest compiles money can buy. This article is exactly what I want to see, and confirms my decision to go for the 5900x. Now if AMD can just get them in stock. The local waiting list is months long.

Yup, same. I live in Idaho, and you’ve got to be out in the boonies before mask compliance for the customer base falls below 50%. I’ve not seen a single staff member not wearing a mask so far. But I’ve also avoided stores that culturally would be anti-mask, to be fair. I’d probably have a different take if I’d visited say, a gun store.
If I say there's gold buried at certain coordinates, that's also true independent of whether I prove it. The point is that the quote is a heuristic that works because most of the by the time you hear that claim, most of the statistical work has been done, hidden in the premise in a way that skips your intuitions a bit (the kolgomoroff comolexity of my phrase is a lot higher than yours, even though they're of about the same length, even though the number of bits needed to verify each is about the same).
If it’s a seasonal virus why have states like Texas had multiple spikes in the same year?
Blog posts about this graph surface every so often. They all say about the same thing, and all (that I’ve seen) miss the same thing.

What’s the biggest piece of information missing from the graph? The Russians!

Minard’s visualization presents the campaign as if it’s a natural disaster or act of god. One man’s hubris against nature, with a tragic, inevitable outcome. Russian participation not required.

To pick an example, the dogleg near the beginning of the French retreat is the battle of Maloyaroslavets, where the Russians prevented the French from turning south into warmer weather and unspoiled countryside. The diagram labels the battle, but without other information it’s an arbitrary waypoint.

I’m not arguing the merits of the diagram’s point of view either way, but it’s worth observing that it has one.
If it fits, I prefer gate, but in this case the suffix is quite jarring so I agree
"and the CEO talked to the protestors and told them how helpless he himself was, as he was just part of the system with relatively limited ability to change it.
I'm not sure I buy that, and not sure the protestors did either, as the CEO still has enormous power."

Precisely. Nobody should accept that kind of obvious nonsense.

People are put into positions to make decisions. So make better decisions.
I still miss AltaVista's query language. So much better at narrowing stuff down to _exactly_ want you wanted then google is, even today. Between googles "let me guess what you want and ignore search terms" and their paid placements, page 1 of the SERP is useless for technical work. Doubly so if your researching something obscure...
Search engines [positively] judge content by how poorly it links to other materials. The rest is obvious.

Nice, that's a part of the old Milwaukee Road from Chicago to Seattle! In photos from your link, you can that some of the structures for holding the overhead catenary wire are still present. When that line was built, that section was the longest electrified train line in the world. I'm pretty sure they did it because of the grades.

Freelancer.com
I too have problems with freelancer.com as an employer. They don't answer and if they do it is a standard answer, in many cases unrelated. - Now about releasing milestones too early, I got burned here too but now I have another case, I have a freelancer who can't do the project and doesn't release the milestone as I requested. I can not open a dispute because their system has many bugs and is not made for all operating systems. So I contacted them many times without success. I even wrote to head office but they just do not answer ! So the money is there but I can't get it back because of the way they handle this ! I am sorry but freelancer.com has work to do. Best regards. Mike
Oh shoot. Thanks for the heads up. Can a mod please help me edit the link to https://flurly.com
For someone unfamiliar, what makes you say that?
You're right, all these aspects are important. If you add all these costs, such as electricty cost (3W * 24hr * 31day / 1000 * 0.15$/kwh ~ 0.33$/mo), it's hard to be both profitable and competitive.
I'd pay maybe 2 or 2.50$ / mo, but I'm probably not a good example because I like running my own RPi at home and be able to tune things.
Nice project anyway, good luck for staring your service!
For desktop workloads it doesn't matter, so this is a relevant comparison to many.
That's a rather unnecessarily aggressive comment. What I said is not ethnocentric (you're presuming I'm American or white?) or asinine.

You're not considering the historical consequences of your perspective. And I made no such claim that China is the root cause of the arms race, that's a strawman.

Historical counterfactual: What would've happened in WW2 in Asia if the US had no aircraft carriers because some pacifists convinced the administration that investing in arms was just tit for tat tribalism and contributing to an arms race?

If you can't explain why the US should not invest in drones today but they should've invested in aircraft carriers in the 1930s and 1940s, then you're holding a sack filled with little more than misplaced confidence.
It's fairly irresponsible to argue legal theory without a disclaimer. IANAL is an acronym for a reason.

Of course, by this point, other people have seen through your rhetoric and have adjusted your comments score accordingly.
The 'conspiracy', i.e. the organised group, is the media coupled with a grassroots authoritarian ideology that pays it to keep reporting as 'pleases' it. Just lots of individuals and institutions acting according to their memes and incentives, no (non-obviously existing) cabal needed.
Any ideas how to get involved in such businesses? I love the idea of renewables and the like, but I'm not familiar at all with that space.

Plausibe is fine to a point. The context here is journalism, and with that comes responsibilities. The fact an outfit as reputable as NYT chose not to fulfill its obligations should give anyone reasonable pause. This was a relatively meaningless story. What happens when something more significant is involed? And the stakes (read: possible revenue) higher?
I’m genuinely quite shocked that bars are still serving alcohol at all. A quick glance at a typical bar bathroom should tell you everything you need to know about how safety conscious everyone is going to be after they’ve had 3 drinks.
No problem. I think your best bet would be to use contact email on HN page.

EDIT: Project looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!

FEEDBACK: Products page should list items some one are selling. Maybe make an option to sell publicly (show on Products page) or Privately (hide on Products page). Search could use a bit more helpful tips, like example products selling for example. Also, some sort of support contact page might be a good idea.

>Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

Mostly it's about creating imbalances particularly great ones so that power can be projected through coercion. The world runs on on the wealthy getting poor people to do the work they don't want to. With the rise of the finacialised economy we are far away from your definition.
On the other hand there have been plenty of benchmarks reported of like to like and many have been asking what M1 would look like against the best AMD has to offer.

There’s room for plenty of comparisons. It’s a big world.

I'd love to see the 4x3. Although then the available real estate will be smaller. It would be cool if it was an option. For example, if I only have unmistakable chars in my text, I could get away with the 3x3 option.
Some are making a "desktop with cheaper terminal laptop -vs- pro laptop" choice though. And in that case the comparison may matter.
Update: the latest version available for Mac doesn’t seem to do this. Νot tried on PC yet.
Leaving aside any specific criticisms, an interesting aspect of this graphic is that it highlights the contrast between simplistic graphics and those that reward some study. I din't actually expect that most publications would publish this simply because it takes some work to really grok.

I look forward to an M1 processor comparison to something with a similar core count, similar total power envelopes, and similar cost. The Ryzen processor benchmarked here costs more than the entire Mac Mini M1 system.
And directly above that graph says:

> please keep in mind that for single-threaded tasks, a single core doesn’t consume all 95W TDP headroom of the CPU. Based on Anandtech’s analysis, a single 5800X core only consumes 17.3W at 4850 MHz

Remember these are single-threaded benchmarks.

someone please help me understand all the hype about nextcloud. I've tried it and found it to be a bloated mess. Why would I want to run this over several smaller apps that do the job better, just without a fancy (if you could call it that) UI to tie it all together
I got your point, and I agree a few generation-defining games are notoriously more demanding and one shouldn't expect a great experience on console, but there's a limit to that downgrade. 540p 15FPS is below the bare minimum something ought to run, if it gets that bad, maybe it's better to just outright say "you need a PS4 Pro / Xbox One X or newer to play, sorry". I say this as a PC gamer with no current-gen (PS4/X1) or next-gen console at all (except the Switch if that counts in this context).

And IIRC Just Cause 3 was just bad all around, the PC port was extremely buggy as well.
I would also pay to have google freaking remember my search preferences. You've got my dang account - pull the prefs. from it.

> In the interview with NPR lasting nearly an hour, Baquet says the Times did not have evidence Chaudhry had ever been to Syria. Nor could it show he had joined ISIS, much less killed civilians for the group. The man's account proved to be riddled with holes and contradictions. Even when confronting some of them, the reporting and producing team sought ways to show his story could still turn out to be true.

At this point, you can either believe NPR, "his story was not fact-checked at all", or the New York Times, "we did our due diligence."

One is telling the truth, and the other is lying. You can't believe them both without descending into doublethink.
(not an answer but) It's less annoying than needlessly adding "Cyber" to criminal activity.
This is comparing the M1 which a mobile focused chip in a tiny power envelope to the pinnacle of AMD cpu design in a giant (relatively) power envelope. My point was that the article could have stood on its own without even benching against the M1. Just show the performance of the 5800X in tasks the M1 and the 5800X are not in the same league.
technicality
I think economists universally agree income tax is suboptimal.

I'm not sure if a wealth tax is the answer.

Personally I'd like to see taxes on negative things. Taxes invariably have the effect of discouraging the thing taxed. Which is why taxing income sucks. Let's tax pollution, traffic congestion, advertisements, and social media. Ok, well the last two are half joking.

Precisely. His line of thinking would've played out to a disastrous end in the 1930s-1940s era, "oh if it wasn't for the Japanese or Germans it'd be X". Some people and some regimes are psychopathic in nature, that's the unfortunate reality, and such regimes, especially those with expansionist desires (ever heard the CCP's rhetoric about Taiwan?) have every incentive to invest in military capabilities irrespective of whether others are doing so too.
I do like the implication that there was some sort of stone-age Ikea that everyone got their standing stones from, though.
Realistically, what do people think the iMacs and Mac Pros of the M1 era will look like?
> what return has the average American seen?

A return to the polls to vote for more of the same!

> when we were non-interventionist

When exactly was that? Was it when the US was only indirectly involved via education, assistance, and spook-craft? When it was only involved in "police actions" and not wars? Are we strictly speaking about the US government or also US corporations? The US has always been involved in foreign conflicts from the start.
On desktops, Sun workstations had graphics capabilities PCs could only dream of.

Most multi cpu x86 systems were file servers built for parallel I/O. Although it was technically possible to build symmetric multiprocessing x86 systems, and some vendors did so, the PC architecture specifically wasn’t conducive to it, software support was very limited and overall they didn’t work very well. Mostly they were hacky dual cpu systems, meanwhile Sun was selling highly efficient 4 and 8 cpu systems with high bandwidth architectures. The first SMP system I used was a Sparcserver 630MP in 1992. We had some x86 boxes running Xenix but they were pitiful in comparison.

Sun didn’t need to market expansion cards as “plug and play” because how else would they work? On x86 it was a wondrous and largely mythical concept deep into the 90s.

64 bit SPARC systems were available 8 years before x86-64 although that was mid 90s.
Okay, um, a readme file is just the lowest common denominator “what the heck is in this directory tree” file. Something to get your bearings from. Something that can then point to some more fancy documentation like a homepage.

The mask issue is a non issue. There are a few possibilities:

1) Masks work in preventing the spread of the virus.
2) Masks don’t work in preventing the spread of the virus.

If we don’t wear masks, then:
under (1) we have hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of sickness instances, and hundreds of billions of lost dollars due to reduced economic activity and sickness, compared to the wearing mask scenario.

(2) There’s very little difference. Some may say we unnecessarily spend money on masks, but considering that the making of masks can employ otherwise unused resources, especially in the clothing manufacturing and distribution economy, it may actually be a positive to make and distribute masks even if they don’t work, comparable to a stimulus, but more effective because all of the money is immediately deployed, and not just saved, and there are far fewer ideological issues with giving money away for nothing, and it does not require any deficit spending. Further, even if masks don’t help with COVID, they will help reduce chances of spreading other diseases and therefore reduce the strain on hospitals.

Now if you further consider that there is a lot of evidence to indicate that masks do have an effect, and the countries that have handled COVID best by and large swear by them, it’s an absolute no brained to mandate them.
They are investigated for shorting a market? I find that unlikely.

I'm not trying to pick on Goldman. They were just an example of a large institution that makes huge amounts of money by doing exactly what these guys did. Betting against the market is absolutely routine behavior.

As for Goldman, do you really think they are clearing 100 million a day by being market neutral and just collecting premiums? When they buy/sell it absolutely moves the markets just on the sheer volume.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. The M1 is ahead by 2-3x in performance per watt and highly competitive in performance/dollar. This result is indeed quite meaningless as Apple will have 16 high-performance core variants of the M1 soon.
It seems to have remained quite popular, so there must be reasons why people like it. Someone else just replied “less maintenance,” but I think a lot of it does have to do with a single webpage/all-in-one portal type application where you can do all the “my things” at. Eg, sandstorm is in that sort of category. It is pretty convenient. Note I have played around with sandstorm but never used next cloud. And sandstorm is very different too, don’t want to get too carried away in comparing them.

Also curious about this - Donner Pass Rd parallels I-80. Beckwourth or Walker passes are lower and less steep, but both add a lot of distance to connect to the I-80/Humboldt River corridor though which seems like the only sane route across Nevada.

Of course there are options to go around both the Sierras and the state of Nevada, Route 66 and up the San Joaquin valley being one example.
> In other words, Apple needs to just add 4 more cores to M1 to absolutely mop the floor with the Ryzen?

By that logic could we not "just" double Ryzen cores to mop the floor with the M1? What kind of logic is this lol
The first test listed is Renaissance, which, from https://renaissance.dev/resources/docs/renaissance-suite.pdf, is a concurrency benchmark. It likely benefits from multiple cores. All in all I'm not sure the author has the relevant expertise.

I run nextcloud on a $5 vps just like in this article, it's still underutilised. Out of the box my family can have access to certain folders and their own account, they can watch videos in the browser and I can have a selfhosted google docs/sheets alternative. All encrypted at rest.
