That's a backwards mentality. I already use Graphviz, why would I switch? You need to be asking yourself (and convincing everyone else) what Gleek offers that Graphviz does not offer.

We built a similar app for asynch 1-1 & group voice chat (back in 2010 or so, it was called Voicee).

Found exactly the same thing (even when we/founders were developing it and knew how to use it). It's so much easier to keep blabbing and that will put the burden on the listener(s) to spend time & focus on playing it.

We didn't have audio transcription, so this may change the game a bit. So, if the sender can't (or doesn't want to) type at the moment, could reply to an otherwise text stream via voice. When we started, iMessage, WhatsApp didn't have asynch voice capability, but now they do - I guess having transcription always enabled would be a differentiator.

But in general (a request that I ignored for too long), you'll have to have texting capability in your app too, otherwise people will gravitate towards whatever allows them to read & type without distracting others with playing audio...

I had a project where we were reaching for the 'cosmic ray' idea. But it turns out it was a supercap that did not hold enough charge on NAND during power off and the way NAND ages. It worked when 'new' but as the device aged and was used it the NAND would slowly take extra time to write a page. Eventually the time was just enough that it would mostly write everything. It would also sometimes randomly flip bits here and there depending on where it was in the write cycle.

I'm not saying Elon's a supervillain, more of a wasted talent (so far). The non-solutions he presents to non-problems are weird to say the least. Hand on heart, do we really need space tourism and luxury cars affordable by wealthy middle-aged men? How does this contribute to a better society?
Returning to the point at hand, both EV's and blockchain are non-solutions to difficult (and valid) problems. In my view, centralized money and climate change can only be only effectively solved at the origin and not the consumer level.
The solutions offered are annoyingly superficial, like taking away our drinking straws and fake internet money that has no use other than to make more centralized money.
I always have the checkbox checked, but that could be the Reddit Enhancement Suite addon doing that for me
That's amazing. I would go to Alamo if there were one around me (if it were safe again) for that reason alone, let alone the food experience. I've actually been to a theater that served very nice food and drinks, Alamo-style, but the bar is so low for theater food that I'm sure even Alamo food is a treat
Seriously, people need some fucking perspective. Yeah, things aren't too hot right now, but that's because all you do is consume the 24/7 newscycle and worry about what some nobody on Twitter is agonizing over about Disney's latest TV show. The world is the safest it's ever been. Aside from Covid, many massive killers of the past are no longer a problem. Our ancestors would be shaking their heads if they saw the prosperous times we live in now, but don't choose to have children.
I think the GP was focusing on people rising to fight when "others" are offended (as opposed to "I/we are offended by this"), but it may just be my pet peeve ;)

Harbour is really interesting and, last time I saw it some years ago, its development was pretty active.

I have already messed around a bit with Harbour and even wrote some small tools for personal use. I was pretty happy with the combination of modern capabilities with the old-school "TUI ergonomics", allowing one to render a TUI to a Win32 GDI context (they give a name to that capability, which I can't recall. It seems that there is also the possibility of rendering to X11 windows, if I'm not mistaken).

I know a couple of decades-old Clipper shops which continued their development with Harbour (although they migrated from DBF files to relational databases), and their businesses are doing fairly well.

Well, I think this is the difference between the official positions (which are the same on both sides) and the reality on the ground in terms of relative power.

The PRC/mainland is massively bigger and more powerful than the ROC/Taiwan so they think that they have the means to pursue their official position.

Taiwan knows that they don't have the means to pursue their official position so there is little point making noise about it. And furthermore, the "3rd faction", which the current President belongs to, is not sympathetic to that position, anyway. But when the KMT is in power they do at in way that protects that position (eventual (re-)unifaction).
Modifying Halo 2 on Xbox Live to have massive auto-aim. At the time (2004/5) modding was still pretty new so it was surreal getting the attention of a world class player simply by editing some values in a hex editor. Computers are modern day magic to a lot of people.

>Poverty no doubt discourages marriage, but doesn’t always prevent it. And it seems to be positively favourable to generation. A half-starved Highland woman may bear more than 20 children, while many a pampered fine lady is incapable of bearing any and is generally exhausted by two or three. Barrenness, so frequent among women of fashion, is very rare among those of lower station.

>Luxury may inflame in the fair sex the passion for enjoyment, but it seems always to weaken—and often to destroy—the powers of generation

Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

Given that he wrote that when North America was a rebellious colony where no chemicals were in common use and that we essentially all much, much, much richer than the rich people he talks about here it seems more likely to be something fundamentally human.
You're right of course, that it's more complex than just land scarcity. But I feel like people sometimes have this strange default sense that something is wrong if things don't stay the same. "My dad fixed diesel engines and provided for a family of 5, so I ought to be able to do the same thing". Well, your dad lived in a different time. You can't be a Holy Roman warrior anymore, and there's also a chance you might not be able to make a good career at being a diesel mechanic at this point.

Sort of like when you have kids and see them everyday, you only vaguely notice them growing up because the change from day-to-day is so subtle? But when the extended family visits once a year, they notice a huge change? The world is constantly changing like that...you might not notice that today is different from yesterday, but today is drastically different from when your parents were your age.
Not really. If you think about it charging a customer is naturally going to be the most tested feature. You can’t really test ‘not charging’ unless there is a high volume of customer calls saying they are being charged when they don’t want to be. A very low to no volume of customers would call if they used a service and were not charged for it on the other hand.
Oh man, who cares about the article, it's the consciousness thread! ;)

I also have my strong opinion, but anytime such heated discussion emerges it's worth remembering that disagreement is often more about mapping between some word and reality, rather than discussing the reality associated with that word.

Not talking to a journalist because of their political ideology is understandable to me, although this person probably has a very broad definition of what a communist is.

Not talking to someone based on their religion on the other hand is really quite rude, shallow and discriminatory.
No tangible results? You live in a world shaped entirely by political philosophy, which itself is almost inseparable from philosophy writ large historically. The modern political Western world is entirely built on Kantian ideals.

I understand the benefit this has for very specific Reddit communities. But to turn it on my default is mind-bendingly wrong. If anything, each sub should have to turn it on individually for that sub, and users should have to opt-in on that particular sub.
Trolling, the fishing method. For me, a internet troll is a person that says something provocation hoping that someone will "bite" and waste time arguing.
Funny you say that.. I've recently read a book about child psychology and it was constantly praising the progress of science (specifically neuroscience).. yet I've read all this stuff before, for example in Jung or even in the Stoics.

Ok maybe they didn't know. Or maybe it's science's job to methodically confirm knowledge, that has so far been rather anecdotal, and scientists can pat themselves on the back for it, why not.

But it somewhat annoyed me to read that book anyway. They just made it sound like some breakthrough research, which I think it wasn't.

Because you know, Aristotle was not a Scientist, so he must be wrong everywhere else.

> However the author appears to be arguing from a position that they (or someone) actually know how the brain works

Interesting that you had this takeaway, I didn’t get a sense of this at all. My takeaway was that the author presented modern findings (which constitute our present model for how the brain works, speaking nothing to a notion of some absolute correctness) to dispel older hypotheses that are disprovable based on the latest research. As presented, IMO, the author captures well that these modern findings are just a reference point against which to refute the stubborn tropes.

dBase IV tanked the dBase Line. dBase III+ was an amazing product - that everyone used, was super reliable - I made a ton[1] of money in college writing up, teaching dBase III+ systems (Along with with FoxBase PRO).

When dBase IV came out (From Ashton Tate, Not Borland) it was buggy, and much of the stuff in the user manual literally did not work. I was super excited about the SQL support in dBase IV - until after an entire evening of trying to get it to work I realized they had shipped non-functional code. Not buggy - it just didn't actually work as documented. Ended the company. (They came up with massive patches years later - but it was too late - people had moved on).

I would love to read a story on how they decided to ship a product that was essentially still 12-18 months from being completed. I'm guessing (?) they were about to run out of cash - and selling something, even if it didn't work, kept the lights on? Hard to believe given how dominant dBase III+ was back then.

[1] Where, by ton, I mean many, many hundreds of dollars. Which felt like a lot of money back then.
People actually use Reddit chatrooms?
> I've always struggled to use Game Engines though. I just enjoy doing stuff more manually I guess.

But wouldn't the reasonable workflow to start with Godot, then gradually remove pieces of it in favor of your custom code? Or is it too tightly integrated that you would have to rewrite from scratch?

(Asking as someone with no Godot experience.)
Right, it's often surprising how well a stupidly simple model does. And a complex ML model doesn't always beat that baseline.
Well, generally optimized numerical libraries like BLAS are faster than what you write yourself. But a prolbem with calling them from C is that you don't get loop fusion, each call has to go through the data before the next one starts. That isn't true with Haskell's lazy evaluation so it can be faster in some cases.

Of course, C++'s eigen does loop fusion for you with template magic so to go really fast you probably want that.
Someone got freaked out because he said "build the wall"? Oh come on, I think its a magnanimous monument to stupidity but surely someone wouldn't actually be -afraid- after hearing that. Anger, resentment, disgust I understand. However being afraid of these people is ridiculous. Thanks for the article!

Edit: read the article. YC threw him out because he was harassing people, not because he was conservative or threatened anyone. Obviously you have to be respectful and tolerant in a group like YC regardless of your political leanings. I see why he got the boot, his comments were hot garbage.
To those who have not seen the Grant Achatz profile in the Netflix series Chef’s Table (S02E01), I highly recommend it. One of my favorite episodes in the whole series. Excellent cinematography and storytelling. Obvious not the only reason Alinea is world famous, but definitely gave it a ton of exposure.
My son has total agenesis of corpus callosum and he is 100% asymptomatic. We discovered accidentally in the last ultrasound the doctor did and confirmed with magnetic resonance.

The brain is complex.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenesis_of_the_corpus_callosu...
The causation works in the other direction, due to the difficulty adjustment.
We don't know what consciousness is OR what it's for. There is no theory of what a brain is capable of with consciousness vs without or if this is even a valid question.
Consciousness existing as something within physical reality is already a big assumption to make.

It could be the reverse, or symbiotic, just as well.
So you deliberately gave your startup the same name as one of the most famous companies in another industry?
My favorite is when I try to play a video, it flashes and resizes several times before playing.

And then sets any other video to autoplay as soon as I scroll to it.
What is a result?

Honestly.

It is not solutions what Philosophers seek. Mostly they pose questions.

The problem with Science is that it just answers them. And Scientist deem that sufficient.

The hard thing is to tackle questions which have only personal answers. Universal ones are easy.
(I'm sorry about your family. I'm not trying to discount your experiences, just bring the GP comment proper context). I don't think you understood the parent comment. They weren't saying that everything is rosy, they were saying that the economic doom and gloom portrayed in the media (especially surrounding COVID) does not make the current economic reality. The context was not social polarization.
We can agree to disagree. Call me a misanthrope but I'm not interested in any hint of another person's existence while I'm watching a movie. Though once the credits roll and lights come back, I can appreciate the low roar of people's reactions and chatter.
Reddit, like all online forums, will die by growing too large. The root cause is that they took too much VC money and/or they've gotten greedy.

The solution is bankruptcy, and a new site that 99% of redditors aren't aware of yet.

So debate becomes arguing about the meaning of words. Frustrating.
Man, progressivism is so close to an ideology I could get behind, but it's like half a cup of postmodernism and a teaspoon of systems theory. I'm a glass deep on both.

As an ideology you have correctly identified an inequity in treatment by law enforcement based on race, but the lack of systems theory and postmodern understanding leads you (as an ideology) to ascribe this to human perpetrators who actually want this to happen. I'm sure there are racist police out there, but systemic racism is not caused by racist individuals; its caused by the behaviour of systems (the justice system, systems around poverty, long term effects of previous explicitly racist policy). Until progressivism fully discards modernism and embraces postmodernism and systems theory, I don't believe it will be able to solve any of the problems it has identified.

> Besides, when people do create competing spaces they get denounced as "safe spaces" or "filter bubbles", even if everyone in the space knows full well what goes on outside the bubble.

For what it's worth, people criticise safe spaces for the use of the term "safe" implying that opinions are violence (which is just a bad formulation of the fact that bad opinions can lead to violence), and filter bubbles lead to a lack of dialogue, where in my ideal people can live freely in their bubble but agree to join a dialogue with someone from another bubble with mutual consent so we don't all spiral into self referentiality (ie hyper reality) through bias reinforcement.

Have you guys cancelled Karl Marx yet for being a racist and an anti-semite? He's punching down minorities.
What do you mean no tangible results? Pretty much everything around is derived from some philosophical idea that's been normalized throughout the population.
Smart people have a tendency to think that their intelligence is enough to figure out anything. Turns out it's basically impossible to have an original thought in most fields without first getting caught up.

Actually, now that I think about this, I'd extend it to just about everyone, not just academics/engineers/etc. Imagine two people working on a plumbing problem. An hour into it, Bob waltzes in, looks at it, and says, "did you try __?" The two people who have actually been working on it roll their eyes and mutter, "yes, Bob, we've been working on it."

Sometimes Bob will get lucky and notice something they didn't, because they're too deep in the weeds, but I think people dramatically overestimate how likely this is.
Ask HN: Is there any proof/studies showing targeted ads improve sales?
With the recent announcements of Brave buying a search engine and Google changing how some of its targeting works (not using as much personal data?), I'm curious if anyone in the know has direct knowledge of evidence whether or not targeted ads really has an impact on clicks and actual purchases or not?

I had remembered reading about companies/advertisers suggesting that the extra $$ dumped into targeted ads on FB resulted in no extra revenue they could tie to that campaign. Sorry, I know that without links it's just a vague recollection that could be wrong.

Obviously this question has no bearing at all on whether or not personal data collection and mining has value (it does, even if not monetarily - e.g. at the state level).

allow subreddits to show me custom themes, show user flair, show link flair, allow my data to be used for research purposes, allow reddit to log my outbound clicks for personalization, let other users see my online status, Use new Reddit as my default experience, and everything under "set personalization preferences"

And enable "compress the link display" which in turn disables thumbnails. It's basically just like HN.
