I think so too. I am pretty sure that data will show it too. Five years ago the NextGen computing platform that will change the world where smart speakers. Now it is almost a niche product.
I agree with the gist of your comment but I do think that the individual efforts of those on substack (and future, similar types of pages) will eventually find that most of them will need to band together to form small networks in order to keep paying subscribers at a reasonable level--this may partially mitigate the problem you're citing by kind of re-creating online magazines / newspapers. At first, this will just be combining a number of opinion pages, but I could imagine a future where these groups can hire staff and expand into the massive hole that traditional news media has left behind with reporting.

The huge players (Sullivan, Taibbi, Greenwald, etc) may be able to continue on their own, but I just don't think there will be enough revenue for every journalist to make a good living with a personal substack.
Playing Zork with voice sounds really fun. Back a few years ago when conversational ai was the hot thing to invest in I wondered if text adventures had a chance of coming back because of it. Probably too geeky still.

Oh my gosh, I have never heard this term in my life before but it explains so many of my experiences.
What does it mean for a dimension to sit inside our 3 dimensions? I would assume additional dimensions would be outside of our 3, but it sounds like what we’re talking about here is just a surface inside 3d space. Why isn’t my body, or anything for that matter, considered an extra dimension in 3d space?
I don't know - I've seen interviews, articles about circumstances and investigations there.

I haven't seen 'A bomb went off in xxx today, as such and such claimed responsibility,' if that's what you mean by news but frankly that comes from the AP Wire for most traditional news organizations as well
Asking people to substantiate their claims on HN is not "sea-lioning," it's like the whole point of the site. Most of us come here for educational discussion.

HN also doesn't follow you around. If you post here, people may ask you to back up your claims, and you are free to ignore them and/or stop visiting the site.
But users want the most interesting or important or relevant content to be highlighted.
I'm curious about the relative latency of photonics vs. electronics, when connecting e.g. two chiplets in the same package.

My (possibly wrong) understanding is that the E-O and O-E conversion adds a non-trivial amount of latency in a situation like that.
It seems you didn't read the archived posts ... complete with preferred pronouns.
Or they're sending their personal regards in private, while publicly discussing the publicly relevant transition matters.

Just like what happens all the time when people quit things that happen offline. Not everyone feels comfortable or compelled to make such a statement in front of the team.
I wonder if Substack subsumed newspapers and other aggregated media would we be in a better or worse position?

For me at least Substack presents a solid wall with very little to help discovery. Who do I subscribe to and why? The website is awful at showing me interesting writing. Right now they seem heavily reliant on the writer already having a platform and there is no opportunity for serendipitous discovery.

I've also got the sinking feeling that it won't reduce the proliferation of low quality content for clicks because that business model is perfectly feasible in the subscription world. It might even speed it up as people gravitate towards paying for content that they agree with or tickles them.

I'm also concerned about what this paywalled, atomisation of information and ideas does to society. Looking at the subscription rates it looks very expensive to maintain a rounded view or even to subscribe to more than a handful of writers. If we're going to complain about newspapers and journalism losing their way (in a value to society sense) does the model of Substack actually fix it or is it just a way for a minority of writers to find financial success?
Thanks! The other weird thing I noticed is

1347840

1+3+4+7+8+4+0=27
2+7=9

The number of seconds between each event. If you add up the digits to a single digit you get either 9 3 or 6 always. In this weird pattern.

Do they? And at what human cost?
This is a very common pattern of miscommunication I see, particularly when criticizing traditionally left-leaning policy.

A: "The way we are implementing X is dangerous and should be discussed"

B: "X is imperative, we must do X. You may not question anything related to X"

It can be true that protecting the environment is good, but also true that the things that people in power do while claiming to protect the environment is not good.
Hopefully we will get real pattern-matching at some point (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching), but I kinda sorta like this!
> I wonder how you'll find out about stuff you didn't know you needed to care about. I feel like this approach pushes us all deeper into our in-groups and away from a larger sense of community.

Who decides “what I need to care about”? The editors of NYTimes? I remember when they decided we needed to worry about WMDs in Iraq.

The major media businesses have built their business models around catering to in-groups. And collaboration and oversight within these organizations is focused on shaping (even policing) content for their target audience.

The eclectic tastes of individual writers - without the oversight and peer pressure - seem less likely to rigidly cater to a particular in-group.
The last comment by a gradle team member, before closing the ticket says "... you won't be able to run Gradle 6.8.x on Java 16". Some users having some success compiling isn't really a ringing endorsement of a build system when it's clearly not working completely.
Brings back memories for me, though not NYC. I was recently looking to introduce my kids to some of the hobby things I did as a kid before video games could basically simulate every interesting thing

Slot car racing was something I loved doing. It was easy to learn, fun to play and relatively inexpensive to get into. There were two places nearby who had excellent tracks, rented reasonable cars and, of course, let you race your own. Unfortunately, there's only one of these sort of hobby shops around (incidentally, the biggest one from my childhood, which moved to an even bigger building), and they only have RC tracks.

Would love to see slot car racing return to my area.
Unfortunately, it seems that newspapers themselves don't think the role of the editor and the desire to protect the brand is all that valuable.
Laws only work when the majority of people is on board with them, and there's a misbehaving minority against which they're enforced. It's most certainly not the case with the copyright law, at least in its current form. Or, for that matter, any other oppressive laws that aim to manipulate people through fear into doing (or not doing) something elites want.
At the same time these environmentally conscious people are sending hundreds of tons of perfectly working roof material to landfill.

Usually Apple die-hard buyers tend to minimize the importance of software/features that are not sported by an i-device or that doesn't work well there. When the 1st iPhone was released, the lack of native apps was a selling point "we use the web standards". When apps were introduced, they were again a selling point (and still are to the present day).

The day Siri will work equal to/better than other competing systems, it will be used as a main reason for which you should buy an Apple device. The day before that, it will still be something that users actually don't want.

EDIT: and to be a bit more clear that I'm serious with this, it actually makes sense. If a feature doesn't work well, you find ways around it. And if you are used to an ecosystem, maybe you don't even know how well another ecosystem works. And finally, if that ecosystem works for you well enough - or that device - you probably really don't care about that missing feature.
Maybe these journalists creating high quality content should combine forces into a sortof aggregate publication where stories from multiple people on multiple topics are published.

/s

The legacy media companies are freaking out because they sold themselves out. Instead of creating value by writing high quality, factual investigative or informative pieces, they tried to extract as much of the existing value as possible by writing terrible, anti-factual lies or gossip pieces (which are cheap).

They have now run out of value to extract. So they’re freaking out.

On the other hand: people on substack are in the value creation phase. Consumers see this and give them money for the value that they are creating.
This is also useful if you want to pass dedicated network interfaces through to specific guests. For example, I am planning to run a router on top of proxmox and pass through several dedicated NICs specifically for routing purposes.
Agreed. I'm of the stance that I only downvote trolling or absurd claims without any form of supporting details. Otherwise, I prefer to take the route of elaborating/correcting/questioning/etc even if I'm not an expert on the subject because then it at least fosters a discussion and sets up a path for shorter corrective comments from those that don't have the time/motivation/energy to respond in more detail.
I've been reading his stuff after his "Why I left the Intercept" got posted here.

I've gotta say, I agree with lots of what he's saying about journalism nowadays. The whole article about journalists using the language of victimhood [0] to protect themselves really struck a nerve. I've seen this attitude and behaviour first-hand.

Commercial journalism is a mess, and getting messier. The business model is broken, and journalism is trashing what's left of its reputation trying to save it. I don't know if Substack is the answer. It might just be the final nail in the coffin. But something has to replace this mess.

Being informed about daily politics is no longer worth it
There is no question that the person creating and publishing the prime is infringing copyright. However, they aren't the ones actually publishing the information. The copyright infringer creates the prime, proves something interesting about it and then the fan websites (like PrimePages mentioned in the articles) actually distribute the primes.

Shellcheck is immensely helpful and I highly recommend incorporating it into your editing workflow (that is, lint as you go with a language server) before it hits the CI/CD pipeline.

(ba)sh scripting has so many footguns it astounds me that so much complicated code has been written (more-or-less) successfully in it. Once I reach more than a few dozen lines I usually hit the escape hatch and reach for a more powerful scripting language (you can always still shell out to utilize handy CLI tools if you need them).

People pay for what's important to them. Breaking, big exposes, they make for nice headlines, but nobody cares. What most people want is to be 'plugged in' to whatever the topic du jour is so they can emote with their coworkers at the water cooler, which helps them feel like they're 'good people.'

It's super hard for people to internalize that they actually don't care about stuff, what they care about is their appearance. The people making real impacts are non or not for profit organizations that battle corporations in court and sue them for things like pollution. Journalists are worthless.

ICL may be a normative good (like "human rights"). But it isn't really law. There's no significant force behind it and participation is voluntary.

Compare that to the law of a sovereign state.
I end up hosting a lot of static sites on Firebase. I've tried several other ways of hosting static content but usually end up back at Firebase as it's simple and cheap. It does have some quirks though, so I'm interested in trying this out to see how it compares.
not quite?

the longer story is:

last summer a plan was revealed (and hatched in secret) to change the default behavior of perl's interpreter. perl not being a language where binaries are distributed in a compiled manner, but code is and then compiled on the system, this would break a LOT OF STUFF.

9 months were spent on trying to explain this, and how versioning the language is the only way forward without causing linux distros to drop perl

part of the disagreement was "but if we can never remove cruft, then adding new features is impossible". several core c developers opined "this is not true".

now yesterday it was announced that instead of changing defaults, `use 7;` would be implemented to collapse several lines of boilerplate and make code marked such behave more friendly.

someone asked about the cruft, and the above discussion ensued

imo the primary issue appears to be that sawyer took a lot of the criticisms of the perl 7 change defaults plan personally

------

i'd like to reply, but hn thinks waiting 50 minutes ain't enough

sawyer was a manager, not a c developer of the perl core, and he replied to a thread mst started, so i disagree with your characterizations

vvvv
Upvoting as generally informative, not because it flatters the scare-quotes around the word "harassment".
Yes, they are hanging around, while values typically have been rounded to bears "round" SI number. A more traditional pound is 454g, nowadays it's understood as 500g.

The reason why you don't typically see it in supermarkets etc. is that law requires SI units and written language often differs from spoken.
For the sake of argument, use `forEach` if you want to introduce side effects. `map` and `reduce` are names with meaning, and passing impure functions to them is more confusing than passing some procedural function to `forEach` or using `for of`.

It is something of a nit-picky argument to be sure, but it is a good mental habit to have.

Edit: I think being strict with the semantic building blocks is a good mental habit, not necessarily making nit-picky arguments.
I honestly think AR is poised to blow up, there has been a lot of sustained activity in the space for years - including lots of exploration of business/industrial uses - and we haven't even seen a true consumer device yet (Google Glass doesn't count). It's going to simplify/streamline a decent subset of the top uses for smartphones, while also providing novel experiences.

I do believe VR is here to stay, but I really think that's going to be more gamer-centric. The 'social' aspects of VR seem to be very, very niche; most of what users are talking about (and spending time/money on) is games.
> What makes a smartphone a smartphone is the ability to use it with just the touchscreen

You seem to be conflating the ability to be used with a limited interface with a restriction to be used with only a particular interface. I desktop PC has the ability to be used without a graphics tablet. It would be a much more limited creation device if it were restricted to being used without one. And the same is true of everything that isn’t a touchscreen, microphone, or other built in human interface and smartphones. But a smartphone as an exclusive computing device does not imply the limitations of its built-in interfaces, since having external interfaces is also a standard feature of the class.
I’d flag this if it came up in PR. It’s clever and novel which is precisely why it’s a bad idea. Always bet on boring.
Strategically placed someone that would align with their values and goals while making appearances that they care about "integrity". This strategic placements of persons happens everywhere.
Genuinely curious: isn’t there a difference between sea-lioning (haranguing the person with questions that do not move the conversation forward) and asking for clarification on a point in order to engage with them in good faith? If so it’s hard to make that discernment from a single comment.

The emotional impact of stuff like this is never apparent from the outside. For many many technical decisions there is no right answer, and any decision will the be the wrong one for someone. In fact, even making a decision may be the wrong thing to do.

Making a decision in this context is real emotional work.

I strongly empathise with Sawyer X, having recently gone through a process where I had to come up with a document format and feeling the pressure to just make a decision.
I just created a new Pages project and deployed it in under 10 minutes.

@rita3ko, it'll be nice if we could change the linked GitHub repository without having to delete and recreate a project.

I'm currently trying it on the staging version of a site from my personal GitHub account, but I'll be moving it to an organisation account soon.

Edit: a button or webhook to trigger a build would be great too. I just changed the production branch from my "main" to "develop" branch, but there's no way to rebuild it short of pushing a new commit.
> Is it just me or have speech recognition platforms like Siri actually gone backwards in the last few years…

I've used both Siri and Alexa daily for many years, and used to rag on Siri a lot. In my experience Siri has caught up to Alexa on most fronts, and I find them more or less interchangeable my common use cases (home automation, timers/alarms, music, news/weather summaries, etc.).

That's not saying much since the Alexa bar is quite low. But like many Apple products, I'd characterize Siri's improvements as "slow and steady" for almost a decade now.
Cool. My point is that a federal world government would or could work the same.

(The federal government can't force all states to do something because 1. the federal government's force is limited by its powers, and 2. the states together have powers to overrule the federal government)

We are completely gone off-subject, but here is my take: I don't believe the MSM/Non-MSM divide creates any magical trust or value. The national (or international) household names (say WaPo, NYT, CNN, Fox, Slate, BBC, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, Le Monde, Le Figaro, El Pais, Al Jazeera, etc.: extrapolate worldwide...) just have the power to do more harm/control/propaganda. Non-MSM (or non household recognizable names) are not more trustful in my view, obviously. In short: read, contrast, doubt, apply common sense.
> Why you gotta be all in his face for this?

Huh? How am I "in his face"? This is Hacker News. We discuss posts. Sometimes people disagree. After having read the article, I am discussing a direct quote from it. Or do you think we should only discuss things upon which we agree?

>The author's claim states that bullying is not a subjective thing defined by the perceptions of the bully.

Where, in the article, do you see the author make this claim? To my reading, the implication by the author is that bullying is subjectively defined by the victim of bullying. The author does not point to any kind of code of conduct or standard (or lack thereof) by which the alleged bullying can be judged.

Reading the comments is making me much more interested in Netlify, which I didn't know about. I've been hosting a static site using github pages, and Cloudflare pages looks really interesting.
Do you know for sure people are cheating? I have limited experience with GO, but in source expert players certainly seem like cheaters. I've definitely been called out for scouting 3 people from garage in office. I don't completely blame them, it seems like magic.
There appears to be an implied threat that if you leave the media proper farm, you will get blacklisted, e.g.

> "I turned down an offer of an advance well above my Times salary, in part because of the editing and the platform The Times gives me, and in part because I didn’t think I’d make it back — media types often overvalue media writers.)'
Just because it has a secondary reason of interest, it doesn't negate the original intent (especially when the original intent has been documented by the author). I doubt this would stand up if legally challenged.

Primes are pretty dense in the integers - unless you're going to say 'data can't be illegal' - including e.g. CP, then highlighting illegal primes is simply not a valid evasion.
The Soviets/Russians were still flying with analog tech on-board Soyuz until 2010 (TMA-M variant was the first "all digital" Soyuz). And of course, Soyuz is effectively "just" an upgraded Vostok/Sputnik/R-7. No parts in common between them anymore, but philosophically the same rocket design has been flying since 1957.
I also think it is silly that people don't think that "your body == your mind".

It is simple to discard neurons that are scattered through the body, but those are also neurons.

I’m very busy in my job, and context switch a lot, with many short meetings a day. I would love to timebox my tasks on my calendar, but have always failed to stick with it. I even tried sunsama recently which was promising but the overall performance of that app is abysmal so I gave up.

Who has successfully shifted from scattered to disciplined task execution with time boxing? Any tips?
If you enlarge the definition of sea lioning to include the GP's question, you've basically made it impossible/unreasonable to ever ask questions. I can't think of a worse thing to do in our current culture of outrage and jumping to assumptions.

I wonder how long till Substack starts aggregating writers. Subscribe to these 5 for 20% off, sort of thing.

You could aggregate writers within a niche to get a full view of that area. Or you could aggregate across topics to get something approaching a traditional newspaper.
