I grew up on the Internet, made a living with it for a long time, and still spend a good portion of time online. Making things for the Web is one of my favorite things to do ever.

I was one of the early "adopters" of attached life, often neglecting "meatspace" pursuits in its favor.

We have created some huge problems for ourselves and for others, and we have to work hard on solving them.

And the same goes for the loosely defined 'fascists', I guess?

This clip from cobra kai really made me rethink censorship for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8VGzyy5FTY
I always assumed .DS_Store was equivalent to thumbs.db, as multiple comments have pointed out, but it got me thinking: I move files and browse shares between Windows and macOS all the time - why do I (and it seems like everybody else) always notice .DS_Store files, but never notice thumbs.db files? Does Windows not consistently write it to attached storage? Does macOS respect Windows' hidden flag on shares? Is there some other practical reason?
Man I hate how that works.

I'll want to know what is going on with a thing and find out "oh they mostly post that kind of news on twitter" or "oh this person uses instagram", or "that news goes out via email", or youtube ... or ... who knows where ...

Like guises come on, where am I supposed to get information when you're using like 8 different channels and not consistently...
Things I Learned from First Robotics – and Why You Should Try It
While I also do not have time to do an analysis right now, and as I mentioned radio content may be different from web content, the number of upvotes my initial comment calling out NPR got suggests my opinion is not unusual.
I will believe YC has lost its way when every idea they back seems obvious up front.
And if they sell four? Wish I still had a copy but there was a brilliant story printed years ago called something like "there are numbers smaller than 1%." It illustrated the fallacy in the thinking behind saying things like, "even if we only sell 1%, we'll be rich." Just because you pick some arbitrarily small number as your minimum sales doesn't mean it's actually the minimum, or even the most likely minimum. You could sell a couple hundred. You could sell ten. You could sell zero.
If I remember correctly, Windows 3.0 could not be used in VGA mode on an 8086 PC, because the VGA device driver used some 80286 instructions.

Nobody noticed, because VGA was mostly found in '286 & '386 level machines, and TBH Windows 3.0 was not really aimed at XT-class PCs (8088 & 8086).

But the NEC V20 & V30 implemented the additional Real Mode instructions from the 80286 — so if you replaced your Intel CPU with an NEC equivalent, suddenly you could use VGA on Windows 3.0.
That's basically correct. Rome organized things on a very large scale with high productivity. Its replacement by less-organized tiny local systems cratered productivity, and the resulting systems couldn't afford to do the things Rome had done.
I've not seen thumbs.db in years. Either Windows (and cygwin and msys and wsl) are very good at hiding them or they're not created any more.

PoS is never going to work. They have been delaying it for over 5 years now. There is no way to switch to a proof of stake system that has the same guarentees as proof of work.

On the other hand, most applications of ethereum don't need a blockchain or proof of work at all, since they are inherently vulnerable to attacks by centralized parties.

Your critique is coming from a sincere place, and acts as a harbinger of the troubles that users of Superpowered are also likely to face.

The trouble is that this kind of SNAFU is common when you are dealing with multi-application use cases, so this criticism is going to apply doubly to any new player in the space, including the topic of this discussion.

In classic MacOS they were stored directly in attributes in the filesystem (HFS) and were handled by their proprietary network file sharing (AFP). On foreign file systems (mainly FAT32, UDF was also supported), icon placements were simply not remembered.

Since NeXTSTEP (and hence early OS X) had boot drive support for other file systems (UFS) and other networking standards (NFS) they needed a generic solution that worked everywhere.

> The File Record also stores two 16 byte fields that are used by the Finder to store attributes about the file including things like its creator code, type code, the window the file should appear in and its location within the window

> Like the File Record, the Directory Record also stores two 16 byte fields for use by the Finder. These store things like the width & height and x & y co-ordinates for the window used to display the contents of the directory, the display mode (icon view, list view, etc.) of the window and the position of the window's scroll bar.
You can't censor it away completely, but you can help the redeemable extremists __know__ they're indulging in extremism by forcing them to go to fringe websites rather than allow them to stay on Twitter and Facebook as if nothing is wrong. As for the "deplorables" who know what they're doing and will never question it or feel any remorse, we should not be giving them a megaphone.

sources[0]: I was susceptible to extremist thought (not actions, fortunately) when I was younger. The sense that I might get into trouble if I participated in fringe websites kept me from going further down the rabbit hole. I kept reading mainstream news and sites, and while I would give a lot of things an extremist spin in my mind, eventually the narrative stopped making sense.

> And yet, it seems majority of HN wants to rewind from the App Store which was created as to assist users and devs with that problem.

Well, to be fair the App Store isn’t really a viable solution to these problems to a fair bit of applications. The sandbox requirement makes a large portion of ‘useful’ apps unable in the App Store.

Looks like most non-App Store apps use Sparkle[0] these days though, so it’s much better than before.

Again fails equivalence. Mutual aid is not causing anybody harm. In fact it is not mutual aid by definition if it does cause harm.

It just amazes me how QAnon crazy opinion pieces are making it to the front page of HN now. I find this way more disturbing than I should I guess.
For all us, uh, air breathing mammals, yes, the great oxidation event was a great deal more useful, objectively, than cryptocurrencies.
However you characterize the Capitol riot, it's fair to say it was a huge story. And the NYT flubbed it badly - they misreported the most incendiary detail, spreading the false claim that a police officer had been bludgeoned to death by a fire extinguisher wielded by members of the mob. But NYT seems to have suffered zero loss of status due to this - very peculiar.

Also interesting was that the only TV reporter on the ground when the event was happening was from ITV News, a British station.
The field of topological data analysis attempts to use homologies that persist in multiple scales (="Persistent Homologies") as learnable features, but frankly nothing I saw from this field seemed to work particularly well.

The one practical algorithm I've seen which uses topological arguments for justification is UMAP for dimensionality reduction, the core idea IMO* is very much like density estimation and I'm not sure the mathematical justification gives more insight.

* The core idea IMO: while in high-dimensional space, absolute distances lose meaning, relative distances between neighboring points are good yard-sticks. This insight is also what powers DBSCAN and other such density-based algorithms. I don't think using the language of simplical complexes when explaining the algorithm simplifies or adds insight.

I dunno, I had a lot of friends from poorer families. Their computers were shared and usually not the best, but I never saw anyone without any access at all.

Group projects were regularly done remotely on Skype after school to do homework (admittedly to my chagrin as I didn't have a Windows machine to run Office).

Is there more reliable data on this?
To put it into perspective, for someone making $200k+/yr (a lot of the HN audience), $10 is about 6min of their time/month (assuming a 40hr work week). Over a year it adds up to 72min of time.

On the other hand, researching and trying out alternative free/cheaper tools might take hours. For a busy person making good money, $10/mo to make them more productive isn't a crazy ask IMO.
Consumer SaaS may be growing, but that doesn't mean you are a natural fit. Also, subscription fatigue is growing even faster.

OpenTelemetry Metrics Roadmap
They were also about as complex and technologically advanced as their Old World counterparts. I'm consistently impressed by how well South American cultures understood the cosmos, plumbing, irrigation, materials, etc... South American civilizations would have been a source of new information, and no doubt a bunch of knowledge was lost.

We only have a few books left from thousands of years of civilizations. It makes me incredibly sad to think about the history we lost. It would be like if we only had one or two books to understand all of Roman history. Absolutely blows my mind how fragile everything we've built is.
There was a time when Apple was shipping dual-processor G4s, but Mac OS 9, in general, could only use one processor. There was a system extension that allowed Photoshop to use both. A co-worker of mine had one, and it was very much a system used for running Photoshop. At that time OS X was considered too slow for professional work. So bundling made a lot of sense.
Considering almost everything is canceled or remote now, maybe anywhere can have an intellectual atmosphere through virtual experiences.
Just switched over from lastpass and very happy with it. Glad i made the jump
If you don't use a per-thread heap, then you won't get around synchronizing different threads for allocation. If that necessarily serial part of your code makes up even 1% of the time your program needs (before parallelization), then going from 100 threads to 1000 threads will only be a speedup of 81% (whereas you'd ideally expect 900%). That's not good for HPC.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law.
I think people are overlooking the third sentence in the post, which clearly states that they were accepted to build a video lecture platform but then later pivoted to this productivity tool. I don't think YC would invest in a trivial product like this, even if the team had higher aspirations, but that is going off the very basic knowledge I have of YC.
You're right, edited. Thanks!

> Fourteen people tied to the Jan. 6 attack are facing federal charges related to bringing or using dangerous weapons inside the building and two are facing firearms-related charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

So 14 people may have had weapons out of several hundred thousands, and that's enough for Politifact to pretend it's an armed insurrection? They do have a certain sense of hyperbole. So these 14 people were going to take the Capitol in hostage and hold power with what means exactly? It's not like the US military would be afraid of a few guys with guns...
What I said is correct. Only a few people were charged, no firearms were recovered from the riot, and few people were carrying.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/04/fac...

"The U.S. Department of Justice has charged at least three people on gun charges stemming from the Jan. 6 riot, including one whom prosecutors said Metro police found carrying a loaded handgun with an extra magazine."

Whoa, three people! They nearly took down the great superpower! Close call.
Stinking animals, caged or fenced up, slaughter looming over their pitiful existence. Nope. No glamour there as far as i see.
Right, anything after the # is not sent to the server, like other anchors.
where is here, the US you mean? but the way I understand it, those credit score agencies are private, and their info is much more granular. e.g. it would never matter in CH and pretty much all of Europe, how much you already spent and payed off on credit in the past.
Very little, indeed. However, just a blob of source without any updates or progress isn't very useful. I doubt many companies will buy software and take it upon themselves to maintain a public repository of someone else's source code. There's no profit to be made in that.

The copyright itself couldn't be used to take the code down, because the open license allows the customer to do exactly that.

Theoretically, a customer can buy the software, fork it, and turn it into an open source fork. Without the support contract to receive updates, though, I doubt that'll be very useful in the end.

At worst, a competitor buys your software and uses your own software against you by analysing, publishing and extending it, and selling support contracts in your market. However, I strongly doubt there's much money to be made that way.

I'm no businessman either so I wouldn't know what brings companies to make software like that. I think these licenses were born in an era of offline, compiled blobs that received updates every month at the most, whereas modern software development is much more focused on freemium and SaaS.
Honestly, the last thing I want is a unified inbox. I get inputs from a dozen different streams and have segregated them by platform to better manage my time.

I want it to be really easy for people to get a hold of me if the information is important or if they are important to me, e.g. via SMS or voice.

I want it to be very difficult to be overwhelmed by low signal content unless that is my focus at the time, e.g. mailing lists, work email, etc.

And I want to be able to select my focus. When I am reading about mountain bikes, I want to read about mountain bikes. I don't want to sort through work messages, family memes, or tech news at the same time.
Access to what? Calendar APIs? Slack APIs? I find that hard to believe given their use case. It doesn't even brush on violating TOS for either.
Both parties destroy their own.

There are a number of anti-Trump Republican politicians. For standing up to Trump, they face primary challenges and other career-affecting blow-back.

The left also destroys its own sometimes. An interesting recent case is Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York, who after (1) making a decision that we now understand is poor which lead to thousands of unnecessary deaths, (2) forced a government health organization to change a report solely for political reasons, (3) has bullied pretty much everyone in New York state politics, AND (4) now has 6 credible (i.e., not necessarily true, but believable) accusations of impropriety from women that worked for him, Democrats are suggesting that maybe he be investigated.

The comparison to the Soviets should always be careful. The original article does a good job showing actual examples of the parallels, so we can see that the comparison goes only as far as media treatment.
Youre right, the article is old, antifa has killed a single person, its only 300 times more murders from the right than antifa now. of course also ignoring that antifa medics were attempting to provide medical aid to danielson when the right pushed them away

As for those other 2, the first has nothing to do with antifa, the second is a trash fire where no one was hurt

Dead of agriculture in general happened to undeveloped countries like the one I am from a long time ago. You might not see it now but the next logical thing to happen is starvation of mass population, and a state of irrecoverable workforce, many of us around the world are doing the same, leaving the farms to go working on computers.

> Wouldn't Formula 1 be more interesting if everyone had to race with the same car?

This already exists. Formula 2 is essentially Formula 1 racing, but everyone races the same car with the same specs. IndyCar is another example of Formula style racing where everyone races the same vehicle.

But Formula 1 is fascinating because it pushes the technological envelope of what is possible. The engineers back at car-manufacturer headquarters are the athletes participating on the team. The main driver of course is important, but there are plenty of examples of amazing drivers in less desirable cars that lose repeatedly. Because the engineering is part of the sport. Formula 1 drivers have quit teams over engineering decisions. Formula 1 is so interesting because the cars just keep pushing the engineering envelope of what is possible with 4 wheels.

This is similar to the old Ford vs Ferrari days at Le Mans, where car manufacturers had to build cars that were capable of racing at high speeds for 24 hours straight. Of course the driver is important. But more important than the driver is the car. The car must be able to last, and especially back in the 60s, cars really couldn't do that.

Much of the technology that is developed at those races trickled down into what we drive today and have built more reliable cars. Technology like fuel injection that we take for granted in cars today came from these races.

Google Is Falling Apart
I can't imagine it being "a head or two above". Syncthing has worked flawlessly for me for almost 5 years now.
As a developer 70% of my time is in XCode and Github. Guess where the rest is? Google Calendar and Google Hangout. I discount Gmail because I just use my phone for that, swiping away messages while compiling. Want to know where my boss is from 7am to 7pm every day? Google Calendar and Google Hangout.

Calendar is a really bad product that needs disruption as well. I imported my victor ops on call schedule the other day and it imported wrong, so then I had to go through an entire year of two meetings a day fixing it, something that would have taken 10 seconds if they let you search and delete results.

Re Mac only, the first stage of a startup is finding product market fit. It isn't about making your product work on every platform. In fact that's counter productive. The goal is to have the shortest build-release-learn cycle, if you are porting to multiple platforms, you just increased your build time, which increases your cycle time, which means you will take longer to reach product market fit. Once you do, you can go port to every platform, but it's harmful to do it early.
Delaying the onset of puberty appears to have long-term effects. More importantly, this is very early and the science is still coming in, and therefore such treatment is effectively criminally negligent; our children should not be walking experiments.

This is unsurprising. They'll pay a fine.
can't speak for gruez, but a couple off the top of my head:

-set standards that all members abide by, potentially bypassing "tragedy of the commons'-style coordination problems

-share information which, in a more cutthroat environment, would be considered "trade secrets".

Not sure how these would apply to the dairy industry specifically; it just seems overly broad to say that price fixing is the only plausible form of cooperation.
