> If not, then you ARE the product

I see this repeated a lot and the reasoning doesn't hold up. You aren't the product - your data is a commodity. And there's plenty of free stuff online for which your data isn't a commodity (e.g. Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, Khan Academy, so much of the free and open source software). So saying something like "if it's free, you're the product" is just lazy and demonstrably false.
I really hate how big hedge funds can consistently pull money out of the market using tools normal people don't have access to. When it bites them because they get caught with their hands in the cooky jar, they call the market "irrational" or that the "market is disturbed". But their profits are disturbed by people that play "their" game by the rules. Nobody likes to see a a billionaire get even more rich just by shuffling money around while the rest of us are down here providing real value to the world in the form or goods and services. They should be happy it's just a short squeeze and not a full blown revolution.
It looks good, but it somehow feels.. off? Like one of those online marketing / make money online quick products - but with a nicer skin.

Here's how my thought process went:

"Oh nice! Curious to see what this is."
"Huh? Free now? $10 later? Limited time offer?" (instant irk)
"So what are these, let's see.. oh, links."

At this point I asked myself the question: who are you? Why should I trust your curation? You gave me nothing yet expected me to be overjoyed with a $10 discount. Clicking a few links did not change this feeling. Nor did your "My comments"

How this would have gone down better with me personally: Just share the whole list in a blog post! Then if I like it, pitch me a newsletter at the bottom where you will send new free weekly / monthly lists to and mingle that with advertising. Or $2/mnt for access to a weekly / monthly updated list behind a paywall that I can search myself.

You've done a nice job with the product (curation) - so my interest's peaked. The packaging / framing ruined it for me.

You're essentially packaging other people's "output" that's out there for free - so for me personally you'd need to do a lot more convincing to have me pay you for work and insights that not you but others had.
A Study of Eccentricity
Not sure it fits on HN, for some reason it really resonated with me though.
Hasn't this been debunked enough?

Sure you can believe in conspiracy not in "buy cost collateral/sell is free" but why here on HN? Isn't there a subreddit for that?
It's desperate people trying to tell themselves that they're going to be rich soon against all evidence. It's why the date for the supposed squeeze keeps moving.

Is there a way to use github for commenting system? I have a site hosted on github, most users are devs...
Maybe people perceive code/indentation differently. For me there's nothing unintuitive about semantic whitespace. I don't really even see braces or other block delimiters when reading a language with those (although lisps' parenthesis mess is just too in your face...), and more easily tripped by mismatching indentation and delimiters. Maybe some people have harder time seeing the relative indentation? Does an editor showing the levels with e.g. vertical lines help with this?

I have hard time understanding how changing the indent has somehow more overhead. Even with dead-simple automation where the current indentation level is kept for a new line the blocking is literally controlled with just backspace, tab and enter (space indenters and their enablers shall rot in hell).

Braces are also awkward to type with many keyboard layouts. Once you get used to it it's not much of a problem, but for beginners in can be an annoyance distracting from the actual programming.

Javascript quirks are so prevalent that you're bound to encounter them even in the very beginning. E.g. in comparison operators or accidentally assigning to global scope.

I don't use linters and haven't really felt the need. Heavy use of linters tends to be caused by bad language design and/or obsessing over pointless cosmetics.

Yeah, they should just put the cameras on the players' helmets.. (not sure if serious).
If I were you, I'd edit that email, there are spambots crawling everywhere :)
Using `<` and `>` for generics is not only bad due to their primary meaning as comparison operators, but also due to having to special handle `>>` in the lexer. It took almost 30 years before the C++ standard supported expressions like `std::vector<std::vector<int>>`. For some reason, Bjarne Stroustrup managed to pick the only two character in C that could be merged into a different lexeme.
utterances! https://github.com/utterance/utterances
Their job is not to write docs, it's to produce a product. The docs are a possible tool towards that goal, but there are others, with different trade-offs - such as in-person trainings.

It is fairly obvious that most of the industry believes the opposite from you here - thorough docs are an extremely expensive way of achieving good context, and as such are usually replaced with training sessions, which seem to fit most people better up to some point.
WebRTC is a general purpose P2P protocol.
Not sure about anywhere else but in the US RobinHood requires your SSN to sign up. No idea how well they validate it.
Rust seems to handle it ok. Features can spend a long time being nightly-only gated behind feature flags, while nevertheless seeing real world usage from people willing to brave the risk and churn.

But Python has a very different release schedule. Rust's nightly releases nightly and stable every six weeks, while Python only releases once a year. I don't think it could adopt the same model.
Isn't that basically docker images.
My understanding is that chromium can't be run on Windows or Mac. Chrome Canary or some testing variant can but not Chromium. It's hard to consider it a mainstream option in that case for me.

When to take a break from building your business [video]
I think you're right. Maybe WSB pushed the price initially up to like $38 or whatever on low volume. Then the big players entered, because the narrative was right, price got pushed way up, retail bought more in a maniac frenzy around $300 and big players exited.

The idea that Robinhood users can move markets is kinda silly. It's been told again and again for 6-9 months now. But a back of the napkin calculation shows that it's not very plausible: Even if 100 million Americans put their $1,200 stimulus check into stocks, that'd be only $120 billion, which isn't that much of the daily volume of the stock market. And most of them probably don't sell/trade on a daily basis, they rather baghold TSLA, AAPL and then a bit of GME.
And this is supposed to be worse than 1% accumulating most of the wealth how?
Legality and efficacy aside, marketing unproven cures for bronchitis is a good a reason as any for a payment processor to steer clear.
Presumably no arrests made though means people didn't fight the medical professionals trying to incarcerate them? So I assume most of them went voluntarily.
Are you seriously taking this literally? I didn’t even think this deep when writing it. Honestly! Lighten up.

No one in their right mind thinks about people building free libraries on GitHub as nothing but positive thing. Come on. I am offended that you’re offended by this.

Usually, I would apologize for saying something offensive, but I guess someone will get offended on the internet. If I said “Wild Wild West” then may be some Texan would be offended by it.

Intention matters. Smile more and be tolerant, no offense :-)
There is a new trend emerging in computing with the advent of Machine learning and that is, it is no longer sufficient to have talent/knowledge/passion/amazing team to create something. You need very deep pockets too.

I've been waiting for a WebspeechAPI implementation in Firefox for many years now but the only reason why I don't think it's happening is because maybe Mozilla lacks the funds to train the models for speech-to-text/text-to-speech, etc.

This gap will grow more and more as new machine learning features are introduced (e.g. natural lang page searching, better translation, etc) which would be very easy for Google to add to it's browser but very expensive for open source projects.
I worked in a team that researched how computor vision might intersect with art and aesthetics. We worked with eye trackers to see if artists look at images any differently to non-artists. The difference was in the way that artists attention would frequently be caught by incidental background items (highlights, corners, features of varying kind). Non-artists would dwell on the immediate content... in the case of people, mostly faces.

I’m thinking of ways that project can have application the this one. Perhaps to train people to look in different ways? Certainly it has the potential to open up the process of drawing to matriculation.

As an artist, I’m itching to have a go at it.
Reproducible builds do not help to determine if the version you download via the Play Store (or, for those on enterprise devices, any pre-installed corporate stores) is the same as you build - Play Store presents no real means to verify that. This includes any auto-updates if they are enabled.

It's an issue with Play Store as a delivery channel, the individual app in question can't do much about that.

Reproducible builds help if you:
- download the APK separately (includng from the Signal website, or some of the other sources)
- install the file locally via sideload
- disable updates (!)

Here in Berlin we have a service for exactly this called the Wärmebus (warm bus) run by Red Cross and the city. Social workers come out in a van, talk to the person, help them however possible.

If they're willing to go to a shelter, they'll take them there. If not, they'll give them a cup of hot tea/coffee and whatever they need to stay warm: a jacket, sleeping bag, blankets, etc.

A lot of assumptions you're making here. Maybe many didn't do naked short selling. Maybe the lender didn't want to sell for whatever reason. You just assume that MOST shorts were forced to cover and I don't see why this should be the case.

I've occasionally browsed WSB over the last few days, and it became just too depressing to read.

There are vast numbers of financially illiterate people pouring what little money they have into this pipe dream that a short squeeze can still be effected.

And these people are fueled by incessant bullshit that approaches, and in some cases even exceeds, the level of QAnon.

The facts of the matter are that (1) the cat was out of the bag last Wednesday and (2) since then, WSB has been playing poker with their cards face-up, calling every single raise thrown at them.

This is a hedge fund's dream come true. You have an army of saps still willing to pay you $60 for a stock that is worth $20 or so, and they simple won't stop.
I used to work on an investment platform and we used to say that the ideal user logged in once, invested a whole bunch and then wasn’t seen again until they had more to invest. Daily active users and even monthly active users just shouldn’t be what an investment platform aims for. It’s not healthy to constantly check your investments
>Python's "batteries included" approach of a large standard library was a great asset in the days before package managers but these days I think it would be better to start with a much leaner stdlib and add things in more stringently.

I think that package managers or not, the "batteries included" approach is great, because it leads to most of the code for useful things already available, and also helps third party packages be smaller (since they can depend on things available in the standard lib).

Imagine 3 different packages, for example, each bringing its own different json parser depedency -- as opposed to all leveraging the included json package.

That's how you get no community standards but tons of packages for the same basic things in slightly different ways, each with 20%-30% adoption.

That's also how you get 1GB node_modules folders.

That's also how you have the "leftpad" situation.
I'm not a big fan of f-strings. I like to have a nice separation between the format and the values.

f-strings work well in simple cases. But once the things you want to output are somewhat larger expressions, format() works much better.

Example: instead of something like

print(f'{id:<5} | {", ".join(members}:<50} | {", ".join(str(score) for score in scores):<30}')

This is much clearer IMO:

print('{:<5} | {:<50} | {:<30}'.format(
id,
", ".join(members),
", ".join(str(score) for score in scores),
))

Actually, what do you mean by "ugly" and "UGLINESS" in "the ugly str.format(UGLINESS) syntax"? The UGLINESS are simply the things you want to format. Ugly is in the of the beholder of course; personally I don't really see anything ugly about format. The f-string equivalent here is much uglier and much less clear/readable to me, because the formatting and the expressions are mixed and parsing the whole thing to see what is what is more effort than it should be.
I agree about it not being the next big thing. But, for some people who are extremely introverted, it can be the best thing ever. I think it has a lot of therapeutic use, although underdeveloped.

I find it to be disorienting, relaxing, and exhilarating, like a drug. To me, gives me the feelings of nitrous oxide without the strange nitrous oxide sensation.

> pixel perfection at every part of the screen

Current lenses have quite a pronounced sweetspot in the centre of the vision so high resolution is wasted at the edges.

"fixed foveated rendering" is supported with Oculus and implemented directly in some games to reduce resolution at the edges just without eye-tracking so you can notice it if you move your eyes instead of your head. There is also "dynamic fixed foveated rendering" to ramp up/down for the current rendering load.
It's probably harder to pirate now.
Life goes by so quickly so don't waste it. And to answer your question, Yes it is worth to try. :)
Of course it matters even if YOU don't want to participate. The techy types that frequent here may actually want to contribute, or be interested in how the code was implemented as a learning resource.

Additionally, there are biased for and against programming languages, and I guarantee that there is a whole set of people on HN that would be interested in this project because it is a language they like. Rust means you can run this software almost anywhere and it's going to be easy to install.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. chromium.org doesn't offer chroimium builds on their website but there are a number of places you can get someone elses build, for example https://chromium.woolyss.com/ or https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/tree/master or presumably just build it yourself if you wanted to.
Indeed. It went the way Thomas Szasz described when he wrote The Therapeutic State [0].

It's a common trend in covertly authoritarian governments, but not only, to be able to remove people from the public without a fair trial: just question their sanity and have a doctor sign them in. Sometimes it isn't even the government, but someone well connected who needs someone else removed.

Up until this point, I thought you were simply right (also: worked at AWS 2008-2014 and have a specific perspective on why I think you're right).

Then, when you mentioned MS Excel, I thought: brilliant. Simply brilliant. I feel I'm one of the few that sees MS Excel as the biggest software winner of the past 40 years. So when I see someone that thinks like me, I rejoice.

I can understand that, to a point. Not the so much the obsessive part, but I sometimes fall back to % formatting too since that uses the formatting syntax I'm familiar with from C and C++. The syntax used in f-strings and .format is probably better, but requires re-learning.

>Claiming that a language user should be prepared for certain parts of the language to disappear is a perfectly reasonable idea. But in practice it does not work

Well, it can. That's what you get when there's no official package and you depend on third party packages that change all the time (e.g. common in the Node ecosystem, in GTK+ land, etc.), or are abandoned, etc.

Compared to that, a scheduled, anticipated process for candidate packages to include in the language (or remove eventually) is much easier.

Wait, didn't DFV willingly did an interview with WSJ and made himself public? I never thought he was doxxed. (Or is it the situation where he did the interview with anonymity but somehow the WSJ messed it up like the case of SlateStarCodex? From looking at the contents of the interview it really doesn't seem like it.)
My comment was poorly worded, of course they can be built and run. I just feel like the extra hoops one would have to go through, finding a build or building from source (which is a very power-user use case) would be disqualifying it from being considered a mainstream choice available to the masses.

But yes, that is fair.
Haha, maybe I would pay 3500 for that...
It’s not ready yet. They don’t have enough satellites in operation yet and as a result it goes offline for short spells throughout the day.

They are also estimated to be losing about $1900 per dish sold. I’m sure they want to get that number down before they really go into mass production.

Lastly, there’s going to be regulatory hurdles in every country they release in.
> "We know hackers sometimes delete content when they gain access to an account, and until now people had no way of easily getting their photos and videos back," Instagram said on its website. "Starting today, we will ask people to first verify that they are the rightful account holders when permanently deleting or restoring content from Recently Deleted."

Perhaps it's just me, but that statement comes across as a sort of "well, whaddya gonna do" admission that Instagram expects hackers to access accounts.

I'd have expected different wording along the lines of: "Abundance of caution it may be, but if you want to delete permanently, or restore, content from Recently Deleted, you will now need to verify that you are the rightful account holder."

I certainly wouldn't have mentioned hackers in a matter-of-fact way.

The beamforming is fast enough. It can probably steer at a few kHz of steering-bandwidth, if not more.
