Facebook did this back in December too before admitting a "mistake" and reversing it. Get it together please FB.

I tried to see what the SWP comments on covid were. They seem pretty mainstream (not covid denialism). Ironically their "demands" from December are now government policy...

I'm not sure where I stand on Facebook's (etc) right to remove legal content, but I would like a requirement for any platform to specifically state why they removed content. Too often things are taken down for no reason and get put back up based on twitter outrage rather than any logical basis. YouTube are getting infamous for this...

They should re-introduce moose, wolves, and brown bears as well. But lynx would make a great start.
Scroll bars are a position getter and setter.

Content is king, but kings have all sorts of people supporting them. In fact you can immediately tell who's the king not by how solitary and unencumbered he is but by how much clutter and commotion and how many attendants are around him. I realize I'm pushing the analogy too far.
Yes, some amplifiers would be advertised with nonsense like “watts RMS”. The concept of “watts RMS” makes no goddamn sense.
1200 dependencies?! Is this normal in web development? That sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen! I'm working with a rather large C++ project now, and it only has 40 dependencies, which I already consider pretty large.
The important thing about geography is that cultures tend to develop along with it. That matters a little less today than in the past, but someone in Fresno is still going to have more in common with someone from Los Angeles than someone from Louisiana.

We also already have systems of representation along other lines that feed into geographically-representative government - consumer groups, interest groups, lobbyists, etc.
Pushing myself during covid has been a somewhat frivolous and failed effort. Sure, I managed to stand up a handful of small "test" side projects, two of which are now small businesses - however I actually struggled more to immediately apply myself at my day job while working remote.

I know the immediate comments will be - focus on your job not side projects, this is obviously why you struggled to buckle down on "actual work". However, I would say that my day to day work gives me more stress and "pushing myself" just lead to further meetings and stress being more involved with other people's problems.

Like a few other commenters here I received an ADHD diagnosis in my early twenties - for this reason college was a significant challenge. My deepest moments of "pushing myself" have come from trying to escape situations or life circumstances that make me deeply unhappy. Supposedly, ADHD sufferers commonly focus anxiety like this - however, this is certainly my vice. Being able to gauge risk and make hard decisions with this anxiety is great - but it comes at a huge personal and social cost.
Pretty cool; reminds me of Insight Browser's multiple tab behavior. [1] For example, the browser has a functionality that when you load HN, it automatically opens the first few links in separate tabs.

I don't know if there's enough overlap in what you do that you could work with them (maybe via deep linking with fallback?), but it'd be interesting! They're a cool group of founders (YC W19, I think), and their extensible mobile browser is now my go-to on iOS.

> In competitive districts, politicians are far more dependent on campaign funding.

If we're dreaming big here, how about we try fixing campaign funding too? To give a concrete suggestion, the US should pass a constitutional amendment which allows Congress to limit expenditure on political advertising (but not other forms of political speech). Here is one such approach:

> The weak man is a terrible argument that only a few unrepresentative people hold, which was only brought to prominence so your side had something easy to defeat.

This reminds me of the Buzzfeed story circa 2012 about how Christians were campaigning against Starbucks for their holiday cups unadorned with Christmas paraphernalia. It became a meme right away to the delight of people who already weren't very fond of Christians. I thought this was particularly strange because even my most conservative Christian friends held opinions in the vein of "If you're a Christian and are getting upset about these cups, you're way off". I was really curious to figure out who all of these Christians were that held this opinion and, lo-and-behold, it was one single Christian from Arizona. This particular "weak man" argument was the basis for much criticism of Christian culture for a couple of years.

Maybe this seems less significant nowadays after the media has shown us consistently over the better part of the last decade exactly what level of depravity it will sink to in order to gain a click, but at the time it was really surprising.
>The way I see it, if you refuse to be seen in a virtual meeting, you should _also_ refuse to be seen in person as well

Unfortunately, I don't have a golden goose. Virtual meetings, by virtue of being new, gave me an opportunity to push back onto the need of seeing one another. Not being in the office would be met with manager talks.

>also, it's pretty rude to refuse to let yourself be seen.

Are we really doing this? There are so many things that are rude. Not everything has to be met with a resounding "yes" because on a whim, people decide to mimic the work floor to the T without thinking further. I enjoy my visual privacy. To me, it is even more rude to force someone out of their visual privacy for a prolonged time multiple times a day, let alone having to stare at one's own face because the app refuses to build in a way to remove your own video feed without closing it entirely.
Electric cars are perfectly pleasant to own as a second car or if you very rarely take long road trips.

If it's very cold or very hot, if you drive to the mountains or rural areas for pleasure, range anxiety is a serious problem. Waiting for a re-charge is ok if you have access to Tesla supercharger speeds. Forcing this lifestyle change on everyone is absolutely insane.

The climate imperative is poor reasoning because this will be a significant increase in electricity generation demands. Renewables alone will not be able to keep up, so we will need to increase fuel based generation of electricity, which is less efficient as an overall usage of fuel for transportation versus an efficient hybrid vehicle.
>This isn't entirely true. The cost of gas has a hard floor due to the cost of extracting oil from the ground. Nobody is spending $40 a barrel to extract oil that's selling for $25 a barrel. So if oil demand falls and prices fall, many of the current sellers pull out of the market entirely.

Not all producers have the same cost. Saudi Arabia is the cheapest I know of at $2.80 per barrel. Others can be 10 times higher or more.

Is $2.80 the floor? Maybe not, since SA is a monopoly and can manipulate the price.

I think the point is that we can both agree on is that it's a complex dynamic system, with lots of variables and interconnections, and it reacts to changes.

>Saudi Aramco, the monopoly oil producer in Saudi Arabia, boasts an extraction cost of about $2.80 a barrel

>A geographical comparison from the annual reports of four major international oil companies shows that production costs in Russia were about $22 a barrel

Web Monetization builds upon ILP (Interledger Protocol), which is designed to work with any type of ledger; though it's probably not possible for any traditional ledger to beat the <1¢ transaction fee that only pre-mined coins have been able to achieve.

I tried to find some numbers on the relative amount of chips in a standard ICE car vs. a BEV. I'd have to guess BEVs have perhaps even an order of magnitude more chips. Certainly, they have chips that are far more advanced, looking at the Tesla FSD computer[0].

The chip industry, and the chip equipment industry are still capacity limited due to demands of remote work and school. That may level off and revert somewhat towards the end of the year. BEV sales may take up the slack, but also may demand a somewhat different chip supply chain and drive demand for different segments in the industry. We may well see the typical crash in equipment sales in 2022 as those two market drivers transpire.

The BSDs basically solved this problem decades ago: <sys/queue.h> and <sys/tree.h> provide type-safe core data structures sufficient for most C application needs. The amount of wheel reinvention and dependency complexity outside the BSD universe blows my mind. (Though, FreeBSD projects do have a greater tendency to complicate things, perhaps owing to the stronger corporate-induced feature chasing.)

The only real universal sore spot IME has been arrays and vectors. But nobody seems to pitch glib as a way to get a fast and ergonomic FIFO buffer. There are many other areas without simple, go-to solutions, but then that's the nature of C programming. Most of the C programmers I interact with are multi-language programmers, as opposed to many C++, Java, etc engineers who lean toward single-language, monolithic approaches.

I can understand using glib for GUI applications, considering it's already a requirement for Gtk, and because of the OOP emphasis in GUI programming. But IMNSHO, in most other areas the right reasons for selecting C as your implementation language are mutually exclusive with the need for cookie-cutter, void-pointer heavy data structure implementations a la glib.

EDIT: Removed outdated discussion of systemd + glib.
States are also drawn to serve the drawer. Why do we have a North Dakota and a South Dakota? It's not because we had a North Dakota Territory and a South Dakota Territory; it was because they would enter the Union as solidly Republican states, cementing Republican dominance in the Senate and in the Presidency, and admitting two states instead of one doubles the effect.

There's no particular reason to treat the current boundaries as holy writ.
> The strongest predictor of vote, by a wide margin, is partisan affiliation

I mean, I guess I think this is a problem, rather than something that we should encode structurally into the system.

I personally would prefer reforms that push back in the local direction. Right now there is a very small number of heterodox senators (Manchin, maybe Sanders, any others?) and a larger number of heterodox reps. To lower those barriers to make it more feasible for people to run for national office as a representative would be a vast improvement.
"my code from 2016 still works correctly"

I looked into this very closely and opted against it.
I still think Shirky is pretty much spot-on after a couple of decades. Even when it seemed as if "midi-payments" might be getting some traction in music and apps, they've now mostly turned into either subscriptions, ad-supported, or "free to play." And arguably a bunch of midi-subscriptions (e.g. $1/month) is even worse because enough of those and they add up to a real money leak. For subscriptions, I'd much rather have a $5-15/month that is a sufficient line item that I'll spend the time to consider whether I really want this or not.

The more you believe this, the more you guarantee its truth.

If you want it to be otherwise, you have to believe that it can be. You have to believe that we can have political systems where people who actually care about issues, about people, about the welfare of other people, about justice, abdout the future can play a role.

If you really don't believe that's possible ... I don't want to be you.

Interesting, and not what I expected. I presumed it was something about slave morality ala Nietzsche's Will to Power. Useful idiots and all that.

It seems the strongest way to win arguments nowadays is to simply go on the offensive and ignore their claims. The opposite side has millions of tricks.

First, they hope you are stupid. If not, they will pretend to be stupid, and not understand what you are talking about. And even if you refute them, they may come back the very next day and claim that they won the argument.

When you post online, hundreds of lurkers may read your comment. If you don't even dignify the enemy with a response, they are much more likely to buy in to your emotional rhetoric.

This "weak man," tactic is taught in undergrad, the idea is to destabilize an opposing view to neutralize the person holding it. The emphasis is on "neutralize," because the underlying strategy is based on the premise that there is no truth, only power, and for an opponent to be neutral, or do nothing, means there is no resistance to your agenda.

When "everything is political," it is sufficient to isolate an opponent from a conversation because in that view, all power comes from attention and approval of others, because they have been trained to be psychologically actuated by shame. It's why, "not a good look," has become a standard put down, even among some men. This idea of litigating for power is why many people don't like lawyers, and when half the middle class is educated to act like the seediest of prosecutors, you get that thing that's wrong with someone you just can't put your finger on. I have some actual friends like this, and we find a way, but part of why there is so much hostility in the culture is because one side never thought they would need a new bare-metal up critical framework to conceive of how awful we've educated some people to become. One of the SSC rules was "be charitable," which is the value that the weak-man style of argument throws out. It's basically being uncharitable. So glad to see Alexander articles on HN lately.

I don't know anything about this cache you're referring to, but, is it so pervasive within the library that you can't easily do a patch to remove it? Would such a patch be accepted by upstream? If you're opposed to using the environment variable, those would be my next thoughts if you wanted to get back the ability to use valgrind et al.
As sometime who has worked full time on this for over 5 years now, I have found a few aspects of your answer:

The technical challenges of doing it with credit cards are overwhelming (in CC parlance, a "microtransaction" is anything under $10) due to fee structure.

You can simplify this by using a different payment rail (in my case, Lightning over Bitcoin), but now you have a different problem: nobody has Bitcoin.

You also need to add the lack of convincing incentive: since microtransactions don't yet exist, there's no proof that that's a market for them. That leap of faith is a significant barrier.

I think you’d be surprised just how much new car owners/drivers do not know about how to work a car. The number of people I’ve seen confused by how to fill a gas tank — let alone what type of gas to use, is massive. And it’ll only get worse as we move to electric and self-driving cars.

And then there is the stuff that is often different car to car, like where lights are, how to adjust certain settings. Want to pair the Bluetooth in your Mercedes to your phone? I consider myself extremely proficient at computers and absolutely know how to use one in almost any capacity and even I’ve struggled with its lunacy (which is much more a reflection on Mercedes bad in-car systems that vary model year to model year and can differ based on what options your dealer ordered).
I'm not sure what's terrifying about that. Books can only be used to consume content too.

Do you mean from Noun Project? I wouldn't do that (for a couple reasons). The main one, is that I want to always be able to link back directly to the creator's repo and license. It gets a bit meta when people start collecting icons from other 3rd party sites.
As for whether it's allowed, I think it depends on the specific license. For example, some licenses may not allow for redistribution generally, but then may grant a special license to a provider (for example, like Noun Project). So then, you may find yourself violating a license that you didn't even know about.

So the rule is, I'll only include icons that have licenses that specifically allow redistribution and attribution, and I'll almost always link back to the repo. The exception is some sets aren't hosted through GitHub or GitLab, so I'll link back to their respective website.
I don't know if this is a great example, because Fox News actually incorporated Starbucks' lack of Christmas messaging into the weird "War on Christmas" narrative it tries to manufacture every year.

I used to work at an automotive electronics supplier back in the 1990s. The “typical” mainstream car crossed the 30-chip over 20 years ago. It would have had more than 10 in the early 1980s.

Central examples, that's a great concept, the "average joe" basically but with an emphasis on abstract categories.
It's wild to me that no other car manufacturers have taken Tesla up on their offer for supercharger access.

EVs without supercharger access are strict city cars.

The electrify america network sucks, non tesla range is mostly bad (with a small number of exceptions). Even with decent range, lack of supercharger access makes the car a non-starter.

I think Tesla's advantage here remains huge, I think legacy car companies are in trouble (and this is even ignoring their inability to write or ship software). The dealership model of legacy car companies will also be a big problem for them and will continue to hold them back.

That said, I think ultimately forcing the EV switch makes sense and with something like supercharging in place is viable. Battery capacity will continue to improve, charging rates will continue to improve. Pushing this shift makes sense.

It just might be that legacy car companies are too dumb to do it properly and will cede a lot of the market to Tesla (and maybe Apple).

Please be specific. Liquid anhydrous ammonia is a common fertilizer. John Deere still sells e.g. the 2430 and the 2510.

One suspects the hypothetical "evil persons" whose threat delayed product development were more interested in cooking meth than in terrorist attacks...

There is QtCore that is more similar in scope to glib and only containers, json and a few more useful stuff. It's a sort of alternate C++ standard library.

Personally I wonder why people would choose today using C and Glib over C++ for system programming. I could understand why not Rust but for having to deal with glib in the past its so much of a pain.
Personally, I prefer an application that supports advanced features like opening multiple windows.
