> YA is a fairly narrow collection of genres and its writers can succeed by relying on too many tropes.

YA, as pointed out in sister threads, includes books like Catcher in the Rye, The Hobbit, Ender's Game, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and so forth. Stereotypes like this one hurt these discussions quite a bit. Stereotypes also prevent people from reading good books.

> Young adults would be better served by ignoring YA in favor of the wider book world

I might agree with you if it was only authors who were intentionally targeting those genres. It's not. Publishers will take general books and market them as YA. I know of some really good authors who have been shoehorned into the YA market (Forthright, as one example).

> books written before the YA genres existed

YA has been around for over 200 years now. The YA category (as opposed to children's) came about around 1802 (per Wikipedia).

Your data is only for the US though. What happens if you try the Weimar Republic? That's an extreme case, but I imagine other countries have had similar, but less severe events, and certainly the US in in uncharted territory right now.
Exactly the same as an NFT. Are we not having an original conversation because it's just ones and zeros?

Except the average person can't tell the difference between a 'fake' Picasso and originals. Nor experts.

Once again this meme that because ~infinity can be produced the value of all of them goes to zero is somewhat insane. We can produce ~infinity real paintings as well.

I find it similar to the idea modern art is stupid and my child could do that, but I'm not earning millions with my kids because I'm too smart.

Fine, spin NFT's up and make money. Lets see how we go. If you jump in right now you might be the first to print a million soup cans for a $1.
You forgot the piss.
I have an EdgeRouter ER-8 (acquired secondhand; I do not need 8 router ports for my home network) and have been considering upgrading to an EdgeRouter ER-4 (fewer ports; much better throughput) because the ER-8 is actually a bottleneck on my 600Mbps cable uplink. The ER Lite is even worse and doesn't seem to be well suited to modern Internet speeds.

The EdgeRouter OS is essentially a Debian build and can run openconnect and other VPN software if you need something that is not included in the base install.

I would recommend the ERs to anyone with a bit of networking skill.
Ah, clicking the footnote numbers worked for footnotes 1 to 4, but not for 5 and 6.

BTW, for the question “Where do the constant values 0, 6, 10, and 1 come from?”, though it's implicit in the post, it is useful to note explicitly that as x^4 takes only the values 0 or 1 either mod 3 or mod 5, these four possibilities—namely (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1)—precisely account for those values:

(0 mod 3) and (0 mod 5) ⇔ (0 mod 15)
(0 mod 3) and (1 mod 5) ⇔ (6 mod 15)
(1 mod 3) and (0 mod 5) ⇔ (10 mod 15)
(1 mod 3) and (1 mod 5) ⇔ (1 mod 15)

This would also simplify the post considerably maybe, as much of the algebra wouldn't be needed.
I spent about a decade as a PM at startups, so I can definitely attest they do.

Obviously I'm biased here, but the PM role isn't just some spillover, it's work that needs to be done. Someone has to talk to stakeholders, gather and document requirements, work with customer-facing teams on launches/preparation/etc. and so forth. If the product manager isn't doing it, then engineers are doing it, which means they aren't doing engineering, which is of course not great.

The definition of a product manager (and project manager/program manager) changes from company to company, but the work of defining the thing to be built is always being done, otherwise you're not building anything. It may be done by committee, by engineers, by engineering managers, by the CEO or via some other method entirely, but it's always happening.
I agree. Changing 'master' to 'main' is going to help a lot of people.

I wouldn't go as far as to allege that gurus are "shady". Just that they have their own interest in the game, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. Same applies to more or less to teachers who benefit from ignorance and doctors who benefit from sickness, firemen who profit from fires and policemen who would lose their job if there was no crime. Not to forget priests who abuse the trust of their flock :-)

If you agree that it's not idiomatic (and maybe I can get you to agree that it's more than just non-idiomatic when it comes to async operations that can fail), then are you actually refuting my original comment: "It's weird for the official language of a mobile app ecosystem to not have a pretty strong async story pretty early on, IMO."?

Maybe it was the right call in the end (I'm of the opinion that it literally doesn't matter. Apple could ask us to develop in COBOL or even something as crazy as Objective-C and we'd all still do it), but I still think it's fair to say it was weird/surprising to have awkward/difficult async tools for an official mobile OS language.
It was defined by POSIX [1] - of course anyone can extend POSIX functionality (and does), however I'm personally unaware of a locale which would break this specific convention / definition as it would almost assuredly break a lot of scripts in the world.

I'm Slavic, i.e. the ethic group of people that is the likely etymological origin of the word slave.

I'm not offended by the concept of slavery, or by the words master or slave. Indeed, I think it's important to keep this important concept in mind, so that we can solve the related problem of enslaved humans. In addition, I don't see a problem with these words being used in non-human concept - slavery is only a problem if slaves are human. Personally, I want to be the master to my (non-concious) computer slaves (well, better than the reverse, at least...).
You are thinking about "unarguably". ;)
I'm a huge OpenWRT fan, but it definitely isn't easy to figure out a reasonably priced router to use it with where you'll get good Wi-Fi performance. I usually stick with the same model recommendation for quite a while.

I get that OpenWRT doesn't want to favor one brand over another, but it'd be really nice if their homepage had a list of 5-10 routers that are really solid with the latest OpenWRT release.

>Well, at some point during your meditation, you might experience the fact that this world is a construct, a fabrication. But if you don't know how to put it into context, it will feel like nothing, void, nonexistence. This could shock your mind-body system.

Without being arrogant or facetious this feels like a truism to me? After all, our sense of self is an emergent property of unfeeling chemical machines.

I suppose this is where philosophy of the self and ego comes into play which tends to stick people into two camps.

That said, I have yet to feel my mind wander down these paths and experiences during meditation. Although I have experienced something almost similar to psycho activity/wakeful dreaming during yoga shavasana

I am not concerned about diversity in tech and this was never on my mind until it started getting shoved down everyone's throat by American companies and activists. Many European countries blindingly copy whatever comes out of the USA, so now it's here too.

For me it's just one more annoying thing I feel that some privileged brats that I never met and don't care to meet are forcing others to spend time on.

I think it's very fair to consider them corrupt - they coordinated with other businesses to make competition impossible and, as a result, forced individuals trying to make a living to be forced into bankruptcy through no fault of their own.

Now, business is a cruel world where luck plays a significant role in success, but it's healthy for society for us to try and keep the playing field of business as level as possible and the number of lives ruined by standard oil is a pretty heavy weight.

Healthcare is around 10% of GDP (bar some countries that have organized their healthcare system inefficiently like my native Germany).

That still leaves you with $10.800. A liability insurance costs here around 50–100€ per year for a family. What more insurances do you need? GDP per capita also includes pensioners, so you do not need to count pension into this.

Thank you for bringing this up. I find HN's obsession with getting rid of ads and replacing them with paid subscriptions disappointing for this reason. While everything is ad supported, it is easier for users in developing nations (like my country of origin) to afford services subsidised by users in wealthier nations (the ads the former group see are probably worth much less anyway, due to their limited purchasing power.) When services switch to a paid subscription model, this is much harder to justify since end users can see price differences across markets and will often try to use accounts in other reasons to get cheaper prices (Steam prices are the best example here.)

The existence of ad supported apps and services and free software is what allowed me to teach myself programming and graphic design in school. In HN's dream world of hundreds of dollars of SaaS subscriptions, this would not have been possible, or certainly more difficult.

What Kind of Smart Lights Should You Buy?
I would like to add my perspective as an IC who is reporting to a technically-focused manager. I feel frustrated that my manager does not spend even 10% of the time they spend coding on coaching/guiding/giving feedback to me. I feel that part is more important aspect of being a manager compared to churning out code. I understand the need to keep on top of the codebase, especially when coding is something you really like. But if you don't spend enough time on the growth of your reports (amongst other responsibilities of a manager), why bother becoming a manager?

Edit: Just to clarify, the question in my post is kind of directed to my manager and not to parent commenter :)
Seriously - the "Patent Author" PM may well have come to be that ways because if he doesn't, the engineering team just makes assumptions (that are wrong) and build the wrong thing, instead of checking with the PM. When I've worked with dev teams in India (with me in CA), I have written extremely detailed and specific product specs, because I'm asleep while they're working, so if something is unclear it can waste a whole day of a dev's time.
This raises an interesting point in the inflation discussion: Inflation is always relative to the things you purchase now and in the future.

Standardized measurements of inflation might not apply to your situation at all. Instead why not track the inflation of the things you actually purchase?
Ah, OK. I've never had such a strong reaction to the pure soap.
If you hit Control-X-E it will open whatever is set as $EDITOR in a temporary session you can paste your command in to. I'd recommend vim. You can even use vim to edit your command. Once you save and quit your command will be run.

The article mentions this but not the ^X^E shortcut.
Can't agree more. Everything from the framing of the problems, to the solutions, to the model of how things work (and how they ought to be fixed) go directly against anything that has ever worked in my experience.
if you are accustomed to reading or in any way communicating with a biochemist, or molecular biologist you will know, that what you have said is not in context of the professsion.

you are wrong, this submission is speaking about molecular species.

How have you found success balancing these things? It’s been my experience that managers of the first group eventually become unintentional members of the second group, even despite their best efforts to maintain productivity of their subordinates with intentional prioritization and grooming exercises because the business wants that new feature yesterday, and not getting it means lost revenue, angry customers and negative performance reviews.

What happens though when the business puts these types of middle managers in the impossible position of not being able to say “no, this isn’t a priority right now” but still expected to maintain the same amounts of engineering productivity and feature throughput?

Bash, via GNU Readline, has an option that sidesteps this issue:

enable-bracketed-paste (On)
When set to On, readline will configure the terminal in a way
that will enable it to insert each paste into the editing buf‐
fer as a single string of characters, instead of treating each
character as if it had been read from the keyboard. This can
prevent pasted characters from being interpreted as editing
commands.

Effectively it means that even if you paste garbage into the terminal you still have to hit enter before the command is interpreted.

Piracy isn't google's fault. It's a byproduct of having a system that is at least a little bit more open than others like iOS. This isn't munch different than the situation developers face with piracy on a PC.

Otherwise, this is a big win for small developers. Most developers probably don't approach the $1M cap, and all of them will see their fees drastically reduced.

Of course I'm cynical enough to view this mostly as a defensive measure against monopoly concerns, but that doesn't mean there's no benefit for many developers.

What do you believe, with respect to the app store, would be a more developer-friendly change? I'd like to see then allow developers to use different payment providers and not fight against alternate app stores that much. However for things that go through the play store even with a different payment provider, I think Google deserves some small cut for hosting all these apps and providing the platform. Something like a one-time fee for all paid apps or apps with paid content. It seems reasonable to pay them for use of their infrastructure in some form. Apps that make use of less of it-- like not using it's payment system-- would pay less.
Errr.. yes.

Poorly phrased.

I used vim for a decade and now use PyCharm+VSCode. I don’t know what you mean about not using the keyboard as I still use the terminal for everything except editing code and I don’t use the mouse at all. There are keyboard shortcuts for everything in both the ides I use,

For me, I think a consortium would work very effectively. Similar to how Compaq and company totally crushed the PS/2 databus in the late 80s by having a consortium that worked together to produce a competitive product.

If all of these search engines worked together to build a shared scraper they would have considerably more financial resources for it, and then they could also develop the API and back end infrastructure for it so that they can each provide their own algorithms and techniques to remain competitive to eachother. Do you think it's possible for DuckDuckGo et al to sit down together and actually try to do this?

I strongly agree that these walled gardens need to be handled somehow, but I think government intervention will lead to a government controlled walled garden which doesn't seem much better.

This is also a much smaller area of the sky. The higher acuity of the image might actually be more representative of what the telescope actually sees. The smooth darkness you are used to seeing might be similar to how some people prefer music where the treble rolls off (like tube amps or sennheizer 650s headphones) vs people preferring a more linear freq response.

> It also has nothing to do with "heavy users" vs "light users." A heavy user can listen to the same artist or same small handful of albums.

Currently, a heavy user (i.e. above average) controls the distribution of more money to artists than a below average user since they control the amount of money in proportion to how they stream.

A user-centric model that splits the revenue from a user means that those who listen to more music will generate less revenue to each artist per stream, and those that listen to less music will generate more revenue per stream.

An above average user that listens only to the same artist provides more money to artists now than in a user-centric revenue model.

>it’s pretty obvious that changing the name is more defensible and the better long-term approach.

Is it the better long-term approach? If you give in to a vocal minority what is stopping them from trying to change something else? Git means "an unpleasant or contemptible person". Surely that could be construed as offensive. What happens when / if a vocal minority decides Git and Github need to change their name? Should Github just change their name to prevent backlash?

Not to mention it appears to be mostly white people pushing this change, not even the alleged victims.
Start by changing your thinking. Are you really "extorting" millions of dollars out of companies that need software? Or are you supplying to them the software that they willingly pay millions for, because the software is actually worth that (at least to them)?

The way you frame that indicates... something. Maybe that you've gotten cynical and bitter about the whole for-profit economy. You might think about why that is, and what it says about what you're looking for. (It's really easy to make a change in a mid-life crisis, and find out that the change only fixed the surface problem, but didn't really get you what you were after.)
