Thank you for taking the time to lay out feature requests in such details! I really appreciate it.

The current search box is a wrapper around Postgres phraseto_tsquery [1] whilst the Discovery tab uses plainto_tsquery, so you could play with either as an ersatz for some of these features for now, although special characters might get stripped or parsed incorrectly.

Do you know where the people you are talking about hang out online (for example, subreddits)? I'd love to get in touch with them once the features are built and for more general feedback.

An under-sink RO system is only $200 in hardware, and I'd estimate (from my own) costs about $40/yr in service.
I don't see it that way because title is "The People the Suburbs Were Built for Are Gone" and then the whole article is saying how suburbs are revitalized to fit needs of those new inhabitants.

So from the start article never was about suburbs. It was about people and social dynamics.
I agree that WordPress security is a huge issue, the biggest potential problem is that not when a random website goes down but when someone finds a mass-exploit and then gets access to millions of websites.

> It might be a bit harder to get up and running with a static site generator but the fact that it's essentially unhackable

You could also use WordPress to generate a static site, just add a caching level on top.
Well, your 2nd paragraph does imply no-remote. Your 3rd paragraph softens the stance.
That's exactly what I've meant.

More than half of adults under 30 are living with their parents. Kids thrive best when they can't afford a home. The suburbs is an Obesogenic environment, just living in it leaves people prone to weight gain, and now 73% of Americans are overwreight or obese. Kids thrive best when they're overweight or obese. The suburbs are an environmental disaster. Kids thrive best on a destroyed planet. It's important that kids thrive best. Maybe there's a better way to do it. I wouldn't know, I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas.
It’s just gym equipment that’s designed to be durable outdoors. Kind of like jungle gyms but for adults. I’ve seen it in Cape Town, Milan, London, Auckland and always they are busy.
Oddly, not killing people is the reason for the very slow iterations.

Yes, some wines do that. I think, very rarely in general, but I've encountered that too. This occurs more commonly with stronger beverages, such as cognacs/brandys, btw.

My parents did it the unofficial way, put in 5-10 trees along the road, over a few weekends, with the same style of concrete surrounding that the city used. They are huge now, and nobody ever questioned how they got there. Not 50-years huge, and a faster-growing species than oak, but still a big improvement.
Accessibility compliance widgets are such a shot to the nads for accessibility. Sites drop in an accessibility plugin and never think about accessibility again. You need a real audit, and an accessibility first mindset to build a genuinely accessible website.
Reminds me of Dan Appleman’s VB Win32 API book from ~20 years ago.
When my point is that the computer described in the article is NOT a US machine but a rebranded Japanese one. Which many people are not aware of because of such articles. Which again diminishes the efforts of other countries.
This isn't about any oxidation that may or may not occur before you remove the (however constructed) lid.
You're not getting my point.

There is no "do A or do nothing at all". It's always "do A or do B". So there is always an opportunity cost.

Do you think people living near coal mines or fracking sites or whatever have it any better?

Do you think that if we didn't mine lithium we'd all become noble savages* again and live in peace with nature?

The objective is to minimize harm, choose the lesser of two evils.

Kirby is great. "loved by developers and editors alike": https://getkirby.com/

It's sad that the only options given to people nowadays are either JAMstack hype nonsense or the WordPress poop monolith.
full-text searching is contentious, it's a rabbit-hole of holy-wars.

I don't believe I'm going to summon cranks with the following:

There's more specialized tools for your usecase than postgres and you should be looking into "n-gram indexing".

Lucene based systems such as elasticsearch are quite popular there's also sphinx and xapian, also fairly widespread.

You need to read the documentation and configure them, they are flexible and need to be tuned to this usecase.

In the end, there is no "correct" way to do things. For instance, sometimes stemming words is the right way to go, but if you are say doing a medical system where two very different medicines could be spelled similar and stem to the same word, a mistake could lead to death, so no, stemming is very bad here.

Sometimes stop words is the way to go, but if people are looking for quotes, such as "to be or not to be" well now you have the empty string, splendid.

So yeah, configure configure configure.

This may bring out the cranks:

If you want to roll-your-own nosql systems like redis and mongo or couch seem to work really well (I've rolled my own in all 3 on separate occasions).

I guarantee there's advanced features of maria and postgres that aren't widely used and some people reading this will confidently claim they are superior but I assure you, that is a minority opinion. Most people go with the other options.

If you ever doubt it, ask the actual developers of postgres or maria on chat. They are extremely nice and way more honest about the limitations then their hardcore fans are. The databases are under constant development with advanced features and you'll learn a lot (really, they are both super chill dev communities, impressively so).

Perhaps your solution (as mine has been) is a hybrid. You can store the existence for instance, in one system and the offsets and chunks in another so you get a parallelizable asynchronous worker pipeline, it's impressively fast when you horizontally scale it. <0.5 sec for multiple terabytes of text (and yes, I'm talking nvme/hundreds of gb of RAM per node/>=10gb network). I've legitimately just done random queries to marvel at the speed

I really hope I save myself from the rock throwing.

Which is why social media networks should make the far easier rule that they will only ban illegal content. If people want something censored, make it illegal. If people don't like they things are being censored, take it up with their local representative.
I think they’re missing the point that remote work is just another step in the direction of a massive trend toward distributed work. If you work for a big global megacorp, your entire life is passive online meetings with way too many people invited from across the world and across the hall. You go into work just to sit in a conference room with one other person or fight for a private phone booth by yourself, but inevitably take calls at your desk and annoy everybody else around you. You have an advanced degree in whatever, but your workplace resembles a multilingual call center and you’ve never spoken to your cubicle neighbors. There are social spaces to make the place look hip, but the latest trend is always social avoidance. They’ll allow 1 or 2 days per week remote and people will make is 4 or 5. The effect of the pandemic is to normalize remote, but more importantly, scatter all teams so that in-person is impossible. I don’t think productivity is measurable in an environment of massive economic chaostimulus, but commercial real estate costs are, and now you have high-salary workers arguing against their own best defense from offshore outsourcing. Now that offshore workers can join any team directly, managers will dedicate their budgets to packing their org charts with cheap workers to justify promotion to second level. I expect a lot of visa workers will return with their higher-salary jobs secured remotely, and engineering will gradually shift to asian hours. So this all just looks like acceleration to me, nothing new.

"IP transfers are imposed on employees" - so true. pretty much all the contracts I've seen in the past 8-10 years had something like this in it and I did refuse jobs because of these clauses.

As written elsewhere and talked about on HN in the past, obe problem ist the upkeep of maintenance. Suburbs were build which cheap money and financed e.g. by tax on sold land whereas there was no plan how to pay for maintanace of roads, power, water and drainage for the next fifty years.

> JAM stack (this term is trademarked by Netlify, FYI) is such an awful trend for anyone but developers

JAMstack sites are annoying to build, so much minutiae and configuration, abstractions on top of abstractions, and you never own the codebase as it's frameworks and libraries all the way down. You spend half your time trying to figure out if X could work with Y, rather than just making X do Y's job by writing some actual code for a change.
E.g. kernel updates requiring updates to various system packages is a legitimate issue of Nix OS. It's because upgrading the kernel also upgrades the kernel headers, and a lot of stuff uses those. I think on other distros they just compile packages with older header versions and there is no problem.

Linux headers and header updates are also decoupled from kernel packages in NixOS:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specifi...

If they weren't, picking another kernel version or updating a kernel would virtually replace all packages, since the headers are used by glibc.

I fully agree with the system requirements point, and have to add that keeping a system up to date creates a lot of network and hard disk movement compared to other distros. Downloading and deleting multiple gigabytes per week is normal.

If you run unstable. I have several servers that run the latest stable release. The updates are usually quite modest. Of course, it can happen that e.g. glibc needs a security fix and everything on top is updated.

I can't agree with the criticism about the determinism. It seems he parades an obscure bug around. It's not perfect, so? It's way better than the alternatives.

I had trouble following that point. The post first talks about determinism and then links to some issues that people had with fetchers?

Always have questions - interviewing is a two-way street. You want to find out what they value, (what's their quality vs speed tradeoff? etc.), and what sort of things they have problems with (possibly something you could solve to really stand out?)

Those are just the most basic and obvious ones. Maybe hard to think of on the spot, but you can think of others in advance and have them ready.

As a car owning suburbanite, I can’t shake the suspicion that people who complain about lack of community, in actuality just have a lack of social skills. I know all my neighbors, and talk to them on a daily basis. I know all the people who own or work in the local businesses that I frequently go to. I know many of the people who frequently go to the same coffee shops and bars that I frequently go to. I know all the people who work at the butcher, and at the fish market, and at the grocery store that I frequently go to, and always have a conversation about something with them when I go in. All of that feels a lot like community to me. Yet I have the very strong suspicion that if somebody who likes to bemoan a lack of community moved in down the road from me, they’d probably just keep on bemoaning it.
winmd is limited to the .NET type system - an improvement over C, but still insufficiently expressive enough imo.

If they give the employee a budget, it is a wage, and they have to pay social security fees on it (?). If they buy stuff for the company office, it is an expense and tax deducible.
There are some secular church equivalents as well. For example https://www.sundayassembly.com/ for people who want some celebration and community, but don't care about the religious aspects.

Your mention of simple and clean code makes me think of the excellent talk "Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python".

Although it relates to Python programming, if the ideas and principles (and thoughtfulness and pace) from it could be applied to much more written code, then (I think) we as an industry and all our users would be in a better place.

Anecdotally, I wanted to leave the city for a long time but not lose the pay. While I have no statistics at my disposal, I've also seen a non-trivial number of HNers who shared a similar view (though I likely have cognitive biases towards this similar line of thinking).

Having lived in SF and San Jose, as well as having spent time in Chicago and New York... Give me a decent sized house in suburbia, a car, and a decent spot in town that doesn't look like it is just trying to die but people are keeping the husk of it alive for it's "charm". Surround me with food and entertainment that doesn't cost city prices to enjoy, passersby who greet you warmly instead of burying themselves in their phones or music, and feel free to let most of that experience be pretty generic - I don't need some to be sold on some place's history or background or mission statement when all I want is a burger.

Cities are many things to many people. I respect that people enjoy them and wouldn't want to take them away from anyone. But it's not for me, never has been, and likely never will be. I'm glad to have found a company that respects that.
Stop calling it progressive if you want it to get traction. It’s a meaningless word in this context that prevents further consideration for many people.

TL; DR: I'm saying that there is no structural resemblance between the human brain and artificial neural networks specifically (even though there likely is a strucutral resemblance between the human mind/brain and a computer in the general sense). You can believe in AGI and not believe it will be achieved with ANNs.

> I would say that it's reasonable to view that it is in principle possible to produce an artificial network accurately emulating the function and behavior of a human brain.

I think that claim is far too strong. As a non-dualist, I do believe that it is possible to create an artificial "brain" that has the same cognition as a human brain. However, simply rejecting dualism does not tell you anything about what the artificial brain has to be.

You can further say that a non-dualist who accepts the Church-Turing thesis must accept that there must exist a Turing machine which has the same cognition as the human brain. Since the PCs we use are Turing machines, it follows that we should be able to program one to behave like a human brain, in theory at least (disregarding hardware requirements, of course).

Still, that does not mean that a brain Turing machine has to look anything like a neural network trained through gradient descent & back propagation. This was my point: artificial neural networks and the methods we use to train them have no resemblance to the human brain, and there is no reason to believe that they are the way to create an artificial general intelligence. So, there is no reason to be surprised that a neural network, especially one as small as any of the ones we have realized so far, doesn't exhibit complex properties of the human brain.

Artificial neural networks are just a statistical model that was once inspired by a very, very simplistic idea of what biological neural networks are. As we have discovered more about biological neural networks, we've abandoned any notion of comparing ANNs with biological neural networks in terms of actual structure.

This is all not to say that it's impossible for a complex enough ANN to actually be an AGI. It's just not going to be that surprising if it won't be, if an AGI program will look significantly different, and will be trained in completely different ways.
There is no 'more church' if your an atheist. Social aspects of church are no different than that of a sports club, etc...

For me it is still surprising how much time and effort you have to take to solve problems that was actually solved years ago. But I can understand that for beginners, or people that used vanilla JS or jQuery React is a step forward. For me, it is a big step backwards.

A lot of people (myself included) are just kind of nervously waiting for the other shoe to drop. That the money exists but isn’t moving through the economy means that we’re essentially building more pressure in a system that is already at 0% interest rates. This should be concerning to everyone.

The absence of velocity will encourage central banks to print more money in the belief that it will encourage spending when it clearly hasn’t done that.

If in the future we start exiting our homes and going on vacations again the velocity could shoot up sharply - at which point a lot more money is moving into the system all at once. By then, there’s a good chance the horse has bolted for capping inflation.
