Facebook messenger (messenger.com) is way more hostile; you can open it with "view desktop site", but whenever you tap the input box it focuses and unfocuses immediately, making it mostly unusable.

Is mbasic facebook still a thing (for messaging)? I'm in the fortunate position of not having to use fb messenger for most of my contacts.

Edit: despite what I said, I think the mobile reddit browser experience is horrible indeed. Usually I change the url to go to i.reddit.com instead, which is much more usable.
Yeah, really sad. Even the new ESP-C6 that will come with WiFi 6 and BLE 5 only operates on 2.4GHz. :(
Works well until you encounter a new keypad layout (eg when going abroad). I locked my card once like this although I had been typing the code for years before.
So close! I just built it from source and had a look at it. I've been looking for years to find a proper Foobar2000 replacement for Linux. This one is tantalizingly close, with the design mode and all. But it lacks the one thing that I have yet to find in any other audio player than Foobar2000: the music library tree view with its searching, sorting, and filtering capabilities - especially the ability to search, sort, or filter on any tag, including user-defined ones.

There's a "playlist browser" widget, but it's only for playlists.

EDIT2: One very cool feature: it can automatically set ReplayGain by track or album mode depending on how the playlist is sorted.

If you build it from source, aside from the usual "which dev libraries do I need" dance to enable features and plugins, you also need to install clang and libdispatch-dev. Deadbeef doesn't support gcc [0].

EDIT: For the most part, I use Clementine. While it doesn't search/sort on user-defined tags, it otherwise does most of what I need.
The Pushshift maintainer is very responsive to requests to remove personal data. Being an opt-out mechanism, it's not perfect, but it's better than ignoring those requests, plus pushshift has provided incredible value to HCI researches who've been studying reddit.
Seconded. Very easy to read!

I’m also impressed by the speed of the site. Well done!

You have taste in music :-) I should have qualified that statement slightly more.
The method described in the post indicates that it's measuring the full consumption of the whole gameboy+cartridge. You can also tell this because there's an example of the "without cartridge" power consumption, and it's not "flat zero" :-)
I upvoted you because while I might not agree with all of them, they are ideas that would certainly lower prices.
Using real person-related data for testing was made illegal in Europe by GDPR. Even with explicit consent of each affected person, the tester needs to make sure that the test really requires real person-related data, otherwise it would violate the principle of "privacy by design" from GDPR. Without consent it is entirely forbidden, as of my understanding of the GDPR.

Due to GDPR I had to implement an anonymization feature for the production database anyway. So I am able to clone the production database for testing and run the anonymization function on every entry in the test database before using it.
The article is also a bit optimistic in regards to outdoors use, with direct sunlight exposure. The sensors I tested in the past just didn't work at all.
>> Software infrastructure (by which I include everything ending with *aaS, or anything remotely similar to it) is an exciting field, in particular because (despite what the neo-luddites may say) it keeps getting better every year

The fact that many people think that software infrastructure is getting worse is a very bad sign in itself (it cannot be ignored). There has always been religious wars over software development practices, but never to the extent we have today.
I raised a child in the middle of a city from age 0-8 and it was great. So much to do! Parks, botanical gardens, playgrounds, museums, swimming pools, fun fares, concerts and so on, all within walking distance or at worst a short bus ride.
I want to a copy of our Azure SQL database dumped to my local dev MS SQL instance very often. At the moment I do this by using SSMS, where I generate a script of the Azure SQL database and use sqlcmd to import that script. It is a really painful process, and sqlcmd sometimes just hang and becomes unresponsive.

Why is there no simple export/import functionality?
Thanks. Sucks that they couldn't be bothered to test it on Firefox.

Yup. Many of the folks in their 70s and 80’s were in their prime working years when Singapore was far from as wealthy as it is today and before a lot of the forced savings programs (CPF). Many aren’t destitute, they have an HDB that’s worth a lot, they have healthcare that is heavily subsidized, but not much else for daily expenses.
I've rented three different properties (2 flats and now a house) in Germany, in three different cities, and each time it was from an individual owner, not some faceless corporation.

I also own a property myself in a different country.

Big companies don't own the majority of homes in Germany[1]. This is just the left-wing version of right-wing people overestimating the number of immigrants in a country.

>I don't know how you would avoid retail banking unless you were to issue it via a means other than an account.

There's a lot more that goes into retail banking than just having an account. Of course citizens would need an account, how else will they be tracked :) I think the OP meant that the central bank could give customers an account for the sole purpose of holding their digital "crypto" coins and sending/receiving money with it....without having to do provide all the other services that go with retail banking like loans, credit cards etc.
Even if that was the case, miners from outside of China would include the transactions that the Chinese miners don't want to include.

In his description of the test setup, he says that he powers the Game Boy with the DC jack input, so I assume he's measuring the power consumption of the entire machine, but I might be misunderstanding that. Either way I'd expect the Tetris cartridge on itself to consume more power as well, as during the busy loop the game is constantly reading the next instruction, whereas games which halt don't access the cartridge at all until an interrupt happens.
I mean, fair enough if the contract mentions working in your free time to use / contribute to the IP of the company you work for (or that of the competitor), but I was more referring to working on hobby projects not relating to your work.
> But generally, the bureaucracy is large, the inefficiency and corruption runs rampant, the quality is subpar and they're constantly at risk to be sold off when the next mayor wants to spend money on a new air port or some policy their voters like.

I completely believe all of that. It's still much better than here in Slovakia where public housing is pretty much nonexistent, most people own their flat/house outright and if you live in a rented property people are looking down on you. As a result there are on one side scores of people who live in their own house in so-called 'hunger valleys' where they can't find work and on the other side lots of available employment roles but no affordable living in the cities.

> If you want the interests to align, just use a private entity, like cooperative housing. And the best thing about that? It's completely voluntary, no need for state involvement, no need to force others to fund it etc.

I already mentioned Slovakia, so I can continue with that: a private entity first would have to acquire land suitable for flats and get all the planning permissions. Land is scarce and regulations complicated. It's made worse by the outdated building code, and the state is not really incentivized to update it. So I think interests would be better aligned if the state decided it wants to really support building new housing instead of only paying lip service to it.
I agree that this is the way we should go if we want to have moderation of content that also respects freedom of speech. However, I don't think what most people people want is just to not see racist comment online, they want to prevent/forbid racist comment online, even if they don't see it.

Otherwise Parler would never have been shut down like it was, people would simply ignore it. But instead, people go out of their way in order to silence Parler, even if it's not their community.
> SO had a great strategy initially with relying on search engines to index everything, but it never seems to have solved the recency/relevance problem.

Oh god yes, this is a nightmare.
Anyone have any recommendations for reading material for an experienced programmer that wants to learn how to start to write procedural music? My kid is both learning to program and learning to sequence music I would love to be able to teach him how to combine the two. The last time I did any procedural audio generation was back in 1995 and I’m sure things have changed since then.
I chuckle when Americans say that their "5 over 1" buildings "all look the same". This is nowhere near the level of sameness that I'm accustomed to see here in Eastern Europe. To my eye, these buildings look very distinct from each other.
He argues that the labels were a filter to filter out the bad music, and now that everyone can have ~free access to studio gear, there is more crap.

Somehow, though, these labels that are so good at filtering (according to him)... suddenly aren't? With a much larger source field to filter from?

The argument doesn't hold water or make any logical sense.

This whole thing, as far as I can tell, is a bitter "kids these days" rant that doesn't actually stand up to logical or factual scrutiny.

Yeah, but one doesn't want to rent because owning a home is an investment ... and that's how we end up with the price :-)

This must be great for people who like to move around a lot.
My main point is that you should clearly state it as percentage points if that's what you're calculating and want to express. That includes not using the percentage sign and indicating that these are percentage points. An increase in percent is without context interpreted as a relative increase not an absolute.

Both statements have merit. If my risk of getting cancer per year is 1% rather than 0.5%, knowing this is 100% higher is useful. This is not a 1% chance in total but per year. For context, if we simplify this to a binomial distribution for a 20 year old with 60 more years to live (i.e. we calculate for each year getting cancer=p), the lifespan chance of getting cancer increases from 26% to 45%.

Also the probability of the event is actually around 1% here (around 1000 in 100000), so higher than the 0.5% you mentioned.

>It really doesn't feel wonderful in fighting games.

It depends on the person. You're right that games that cater to the lowest common denominator and allow casual players occasional wins are way more popular. But for most multiplayer genres there are people that derive most of the satisfaction they get from gaming from playing competitive stuff with a super high skill cap.

I like Arena FPS games like Quake. Most people don't. Some like going for world first raid boss kills in MMOs, most MMO players just want to kill some of the bosses eventually or get some shiny loot without much effort.

I've made peace with the fact that most popular online games cater to casuals. I'm getting older so its hard to justify spending as much time as I used to anyways. I still love intense competition. I'm nowhere near the best in the world and I never could have been, but the pursuit of self improvement is still fun.
The basic problem is something like this:

- Minute 1: 10 requests, 5 with 10ms latency, 5 with 500ms latency; avg latency 255ms

- Minute 2: 1000 requests, 900 with 10ms latency, 100 with 500ms latency; avg latency 59ms

Average of averages: 157ms

Average latency: 97ms

You can make them arbitrarily different.

> Owning your own home is, in my view, the first step towards financial freedom.

I don't disagree with you, but owning your own home can also be a step towards financial ruin if you choose the wrong home. I know a few people who bought homes that they ended up losing huge amounts of money on and selling a few years later. Beyond that, it's also a commitment that comes with a huge opportunity cost. If I buy I house in Texas and later there's an opportunity in Oregon, I've got to deal with the house first before I can take the opportunity in Oregon. Lastly, the math doesn't always add up. Sometimes it makes more financial sense to rent (at least temporarily) than to own, but you have to do the math for your own situation.
It's up to the subreddit's mods whether the search bar does a local or global search.

It's obviously in Reddit's interest for users to be able to search site-wide, but mods can change this behavior.

Seems a fair setup to me.
Do you mean cynicism against Coinbase? To be honest I see editorialized titles as an emerging pattern in general (which is neither definitely good nor bad in my view, often times it removes clickbait or points out what's remarkable about the linked page).
Now you have to talk about what a specification is.

If it is a relation from some function input to its output, that would be one step. And of course, functions are composable that way.

But say you have a system behaviour that is a stream of function applications, e.g. [f(0), f(f(0)), f(f(f(0)))...]
and I forgot the name for this function. This infinite stream is your system behaviour.

Now we have a different behaviour [g(0), g(g(0)), g(g(g(0)))...]

You can (more or less) easily reason about the relation of g^n(0) to f^n(0) where both streams or behaviours are synchronous. But reasoning about the behaviour of all g^n(0) in relation to all f^m(0) is difficult.

All the useful properties for these streams, liveness, fairness, as well as other invariants, are not easily encoded.

Thanks, a key take away for me was:

> Painting the tape is an illegal activity and prohibited by the SEC because it creates an artificial price.

So it sounds clearly illegal and fully under SEC jurisdiction in the deli stock case, but what about the crypto market cases? Can the SEC go after other/foreign market cases for people under US jurisdiction or SEC regulated entities participating in painting the tape in blockchain markets or international markets?
I mean the article agrees with you?

It primarily talks about the unfairness of the current system, the NIMBY problem reducing housing stock and the issue of regulations intended to curb new building reducing the stock of houses so that only the elite and existing homeowners can afford them.

The section on renting/alternatives is mainly just a discussion about alternatives to the current unfair approach and some cases where things work better.

That said the situation in most of the western world is insanity, If I want to buy a house in my hometown (Perth, Australia) I need a minimum 5% deposit + 3-5% stamp duty and the median house now costs 500k AUD.

Median salary is closer to 75k AUD, so you're looking at a mortgage of roughly 6 salary years and a deposit of at least 50k (if you have good credit and no debts).

Edit to add:

A 20% deposit is minimum to not have to pay a 'Mortgage insurance' which gets added to your mortgage to cover the bank if you default and is usually equivalent to the difference between your deposit and 20%.

Though I think you're restricted in feature selection more by reality than by specifications. CSS is designed with assumption of designer competence, which modern webdev struggles to achieve, a better strategy is to replace CSS with semantic markup and this way integrate with user styles.
Mortiz does some awesome stuff. I built a similar project called reaflow ( https://reaflow.dev/ ) which handles some more complicated cases around nesting and layout.

You cannot use the data from hnews to understand the audience hnews is alienating. While I think you've overall been a very positive force here, and moderation has improved from what I remember some years ago, your link is not an adequate response to this issue.

I've got to ask, although I'm afraid I already know the answer: how do you do patch management with that many devices? I've come to the point where I'm running about 12 VM's and patch management has become a bother, so I'm curious how people deal with this stuff when their light bulbs are tiny little servers.

Having said that, if I had the money, I'd totally automate everything in my house as well. It's just too much fun not to.

Interview with Michael Lucas FeeeBSD, OpenBSD, Unix, IT and Other Books Author
I don't think it's wise to encourage people to silo themselves away into echo chambers - experience would seem to indicate that in the long run, it leads to more even controversy and even less getting along. We need to tackle issues collectively, as a society.

And racism is an "issue". It's not like profanity or sex - something that's to be avoided in polite company but fine among consenting adults. It's not fine. Hiding it from view - letting the racists all be racist together while the anti-racists remain oblivious - makes it worse, not better.
Baader-meinhof. But in this case, the HN crowd reads some of the same subreddits and one of them likely posted this here.
>...doing nothing

This is unfair. There is nothing wrong with passive income. Owning shares or bonds, or having a bank deposit is also "doing nothing" yet no one would blame anyone for it.
Both machine code and interpreted scripts are executable, and so they have a formal meaning, at least for a given machine or interpreter.

They both feel as "formal" as the other, and much more so than a spec written in e.g. English.
While what gp says is true, it's also true that doors usually don't touch anything other than the frame.

It's a bit like that antijoke: What's white and hurts when it falls on you from a tree? A fridge.
> The last bit is a bit of a straw man isn't it?

It's a repudiation of the premise that "They (the US) chose Japan because its people were not white." Had the war in the Pacific ended first, the US would have dropped the bombs on Germany. Simplistic reductionist arguments like that only risk turning what could be interesting discussions into race-baiting flamewars.

As far as dropping the bombs as a display of power to Stalin goes, it's a conspiracy theory without hard evidence. I'm sure the US was aware of the wider geopolitical context of what they were doing, but if all they wanted was to show Stalin they had a working bomb, they could have dropped one on Alaska or anywhere. The US' primary concern at the time was ending the war.
How hard would it be to instead generate faces with random facial features? Humans are already hardwired to be able to detect subtle differences between faces.

That would obviously not make it suitable for generating avatars to identify humans, but it would make this really useful to eg identify git commits or hash signatures.

I'm fascinated by the implication that in the not so far future we'll reach a point where we can teach a computer to generate arbitrary works of art endlessly.

Want new episodes of Seinfeld? Just feed the existing episodes to an AI and ask it to make new ones. Beatles songs? Ditto. Spotify can look at your playlists and not only recommend tracks that you might like, but actually create some artificially. Post-cultural-scarcity.

Of course by then we might already have reached the Singularity so it'll be a minor aspect of a gigantic revolution.
