Exactly the point I was going to make. Just because something is unpleasant doesn't make it destructive. Resisting junk food is unpleasant. Obeying the speed limit is unpleasant.
I consider myself fairly young (only a few years out of college), and I'd definitely expect the same or very similar design.

So essentially, I get together with my friends take a random business public. We agree on the number of shares, and then we keep trading the stock among each other, carefully moving up the price. "I'll pay $10", "ok, I'll pay $10.50", "I'm in at $11".

When this gets to a $100 million market cap by doing this, we land a story online about this crazy, useless business that's worth $100 million. It captures the imagination of hoards of new-found meme stock, one-tap-away, YOLO crowd and suddenly, it has volume.

Thanks to this new found volume, I can easily cash out my shares to all the suckers buying this at $13.

Am I seeing this right?
I think even a lowly non-designer is capable of saying whether a website is trash or not, and I don’t think the same is true for code at all.
dude you would love tiktok. you get one video per page.
It seems that so many people and some journalists are so eager to see Tesla fail that they would destroy their reputation to make it happen.
My employer has this, but the password change form requires you to also input your previous password so that's how they do it without saving your plaintext passwords.
It's almost as if this entire thing was way overblown by the media and there was no plan to overthrow anything.
It’s not a deli, it’s an alternative to fiat!
Thank you for this. Far too often we assume we aren't worthy of success because it isn't immediate or overwhelming, but the truth is things take time and multiple attempts to get right.

Life is weird and nobody is experienced at it. Understanding that fact levels the playing field quite a bit.
Apple is making the right call here. They are framing their actions as something they had to do in the moment due to the potential for violence, but don't want it to be permanent.

I hope Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter unban Donald Trump next. None of the justifications they provided in January exist any longer. If they don't, I hope decentralized alternatives like BitClout start to take off.

As more governments research and implement digital currencies doesn’t it hurt the general use case for crypto?
The feeling of "being behind" is probably mostly anxiety or jealousy. Clearly many people are led astray by those feelings. It can blind a person from what is actually in front of them because they're stuck imagining where they're not. Maybe they've been highly successful following the "pro-forma" until they fail to realize they're in a novel situation and make a critical mistake applying the "pro-forma" solution.
Good stuff. Reminds me of tensorflow.js which is also backed by webgl
The key point, which doesn't have a lot to do with 'tech bros' necessarily:

> What we’ve learned is that adding an additional non-removable logo reduces the life span of a garment, often by a lot, for trivial reasons. People change jobs, and the extra logo makes for an awkward re-gift. People tend not to pass logo’d gear down to their kids, and not everyone wants to be an advertisement on weekends, even if they’re proud to go into work on weekdays. The result? Perfectly good gear ends up forgotten in the closet—or worse, gets tossed in the trash.

My local bike team had Nano Puff jackets with logos for those who wanted to buy them, on occasion, and our sponsor is a beer company, not a tech firm.
He still calls it "autopilot" although whatever that vehicle had, it certainly wasn't one. There should be criminal charges for that nomenclature.

What about training a GAN on a 256bit latent space? I wonder how large it would have to be to generate sufficiently differentiated avatars. May be impractical - but the spaces that they generate seem to be relatively continuous, so it could possibly work well enough.
There is a CSS media query "update" that would in theory allow sites to switch from scrolling to pagination with CSS on devices that do slower updates like e-ink. Unfortunately no browser seems to support it yet.

"Abundantly obvious to literally everybody" is something that all the commenters who I quoted at that link would agree with. They just disagree violently about what is abundantly obvious to literally everybody.
It’s easy to rationalize yourself into this kind of opinion when you know there would be a monumental amount of work to get to 64 bit. I know this blogger is respected and the post influential, but that doesn’t make him right. Notably absent in his post is any kind of benchmark or data to support his opinion.

Meanwhile, are there any examples of modern applications being written in 32 bit for performance reasons? Not that I can think of, or at least nothing that is meant to run on a 64 bit PC.

There’s a lot you can do with extra memory headroom, especially when developers usually have 16 or 32 GB to work with.
The Eurozone crisis that followed the Great Recession resulted from the structure of the Euro, which had removed the option for countries in the Eurozone to monetize their debt, creating a default risk, forcing them to inflict disastrous austerity on their economies and lengthening the recession.

While US states saw similar affects on their budgets (since they are not allowed to run deficits) this was offset by large federal deficits which kept the economy running. Borrowing costs were kept low by the Fed's QE.

EU central spending is only about 1% of GDP, much less smaller than the US Federal Government spending of 20% in normal years and does not borrow in its own right. The ECB's eventual agreement to stand behind Eurozone governments and pledging to buy their debt was crucial to resolving the crisis.

>Inflation isn't a tax on savings because you're not supposed to be saving currency.

It is a tax on savings whether currency is "supposed" to be saved or not. All retail banks offer savings accounts specifically for this purpose.
No, but lots of people do. It’s called Microsoft Office.
Well, tying the Ian Knot still requires you to do your starting knot in the correct orientation. Mixing it up will still result in the Granny Knot. From the other responses, it sounds like some are still getting Granny Knots even when using Ian's tying method.
What do you dislike about it? Specifically, what about it makes it "unusable" for bookmark management, and what UI changes would constitute an improvement?

I strongly prefer it to the apparent alternative, which seems to be an HTML-native interface in a tab. In fact I think doing that to preferences (about:preferences) was a step in the wrong direction. Not only is the result rather ugly (IMHO), I'm constantly losing my preferences tab among my other tabs, whereas a separate window with a native UI has a single instance (more appropriate for preferences) and doesn't get commingled with web pages.
There are numerous forms of autopilot, and most require human intervention when things go awry... Tesla is no different.

I bought a Windows 10 Pro key for just 15 GBP a while back just to play Elite Dangerous. I ended up installing on my spare computer as the game wouldn't run under a VM hosted on Linux. No need to pay the full tax to Microsoft.
I know a very experienced guy that got killed by a tree a few months ago. Tree didn't come down the way he expected, he went to get a rope to pull it over, and the tree came down the incorrect direction when he wasn't looking.

Yea, awareness and reflexes around trees are very necessary.
I learned to tie Ian's Secure Knot when I had a pair of shoelaces that liked to come untied constantly (I guess the material was too slippery, or something). Never had the problem again.

Some other trivial life hacks aren't necessarily worth it in practice. With the T-shirt folding one, for instance, the bottom shirt of a stack of shirts tends to unfold itself when you pick up the stack, since one arm of the shirt is basically just folded underneath. The mild inconvenience outweighed the mild convenience for me, and I no longer fold shirts that way.

I'll probably tie my shoes with Ian's knot for life, though.
There is a lot more to this story than we are hearing.

I am going to throw this out there. Pure speculation. The occupants were already dead/murdered. They were placed in the vehicle, why no one was placed in the drivers seat I have no clue or maybe the driver got out after jamming the accelerator pedal down while holding the brake (setting Cruise on,etc). Something along these lines.

Am I the only one bothered by month ordinal 04 assigned to March, which is the 3rd month? This sounds almost like Java's infamous Date class that assigned month ordinal 2 for March, except somehow we've managed to make the off-by-one error in the other direction :D
I try to use Drew DeVault's method [1], which is similar, but it seems much more straightforward. It uses a regular git repository in $HOME, a .gitignore file that is just a `*` so that it ignores all files and you have to force add the files that you want.

As a disclaimer I have to say I have never migrated my system to another one or even shared my config, so unforeseen problems may appear.

I have a Better Sweater jacket with my former company’s logo on the arm, luckily it’s subtle enough that I forget it’s there.
the Covid19 vaccine was pretty impressive... it certainly didn't threaten our species survival, but impressive none the less.
Agreed; to me the problem isn't the phone and imaging part (which replacing with rpi will probably just make worse) but the lighting and geometry. On top of that a purpose-built workflow might be nice, compared to something like scanner-pro. tailored to emailing assignments to your profs or whatever.
This is particularly difficult with social media, as platforms will show users content from those who are not just an outlier, but literally one in a million (or billion) in terms of how successful or lucky they are.

There will always be someone on Youtube that is better than you will ever be at your favorite game, instrument, or craft. The three best ways of dealing with this that I have found are firstly to realize that your value as a person is not defined by your skill in a single specialized area, but by a combination of a plethora of unique traits, secondly to realize that being the 'best' or most notable at something is not equivalent to happiness nor a good life, and lastly to realize that even if you do wish to dedicate your life to specializing in a single skill, it's unlikely you have to privilige/genes/luck/etc to be the best human in the world at it. It also reminds me of a post I've seen on HN a few times that discusses being the best at a combination of things unique to you, rather than a single generic thing, which is generally impossible, which is very relevant here too.
Taken to an extreme, feeling "behind" all the time can also lead to a different outcome: giving up, or choosing not to start something at all.

As is so often true, the ideal state is likely somewhere in the middle. A healthy recognition of ones goals and progress against those goals...without self judgement.

To your point, unpleasant does not automatically equal destructive. But unpleasant without perspective on why that unpleasant thing is also beneficial is going to lead to some negative outcomes. Generally, people understand why the speed limit exists, and there is enough info about healthy eating that most people get it.

I'd argue that something like feeling behind in ones life is not so clear cut. That feeling can be beneficial in the long run, depending on where it comes from. It can also be destructive, if perspective is lacking.
Another fun story:

In 1944, John W Campbell, the legendary editor of Astounding Science Fiction, had a visit from the FBI. It concerned a published story that had just too much detail about the atomic bomb. Campbell pointed out that the information was available, and other details could be extrapolated...

A proud day for science fictioneers!
Most of the people you know are well outside the normal then.

In my experience the average password consists of 1-3 words with some meaning to the user, sometimes either in 1337speak or followed by numbers/symbols if the password policy requires them.
Active FTP is a problem if the client is firewalled or behind NAT. Passive mode is a problem if the server is firewalled or behind NAT. The client makes both connections to the server, but still using a second arranged port, so any firewalling on the server has to either be aware of the specific port requested, or a wide range of ports needs to be directly passed through. This is what I was talking about with FTP aware firewalls.

This is what the ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp Linux kernel modules are, a way to make iptables more FTP aware by supplementing iptables at the kernel level.

This is also what OpenBSD's ftp-proxy utility is for, a way to deal with this without resorting to privileged specialty packet processing code, and a way to bypass not being able to see into encrypted traffic.

The fact that these workarounds exist is a testament to how hard FTP has been to deal with in the modern era of the web.

I'm relentlessly difficult. So at the last job where I had mandatory password change policies I could have told you my previous passwords† and they were all just random gibberish. I think I had to change them every 45 days, and I had a total of six passwords, although only three of them had to be changed every 45 days.

However, I would also not defend mandatory password change policies, so you would never end up asking me :D

† I can't tell you now because the day after I ceased working for them I sent the nice leather-bound book I write passwords down in to my Product Owner, so that the answer to all subsequent "Do you happen to remember the password for...?" questions would be "Either it's in the book which you have or No". To be fair he only called me and asked that question once, which is why he was my favourite Product Owner, "capacity to learn from experience: 10/10".
You need to focus on both preventing breaches and reacting to them. Sadly, this password expiration policy does not help with either.
It sounds like the owners of this Deli did!
If you mean the "[banned]" indicator that appears beside some usernames, that's only for a few banned accounts.

The reason is that we were getting indignant emails about some of the most horrible stuff banned accounts have been posting, saying "how can you possibly allow this on Hacker News"? The answer, of course, is we don't. All those accounts had been banned for a long time.

The problem seems to be that (a) some people forget they have "showdead" turned on or don't know what it means; and/or (b) some third-party software (e.g. mobile apps, browser extensions, or websites offering alternate views of HN) displays [dead] and [flagged] comments as if they were normal comments.

There's not much to be done about (a), but (b) is a disaster. Many users of such software assume that what they're looking at is HN. (Previous comment about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24335289.) Possibly we'll have to introduce some sort of standard and enforce it via API keys. Or maybe just stop serving [dead] or [flagged] comments via the API.
Right, although taking the deli public apparently cost them in the low six figures, so pretty risky if the meme gods don't smile on you that day.
This is literally the path that capitalism laid out.

Either you're for or against the system. Capitalism's end game was not to be counted a citizen but to become the oligarchy. Congress has a lot of power but only what the people give them, well the people have lost most of their voice/power so now congress is fueled by the power that money can buy from the companies that fund them.

Thus it is we've entered late-stage capitalism. The federal government won't ever do anything about it as long as they're allowed to control congress by the wallet.

Short-term as myself a libertarian-socialist I see this as a positive - because the alternative is lots of death from climate change...

Long-term as a libertarian-socialist, I see this as a scary power grab by corporations. In some movies/shows/books you see companies that govern and have whole worlds and solar systems named after them.

When you take away regulations, when you move to allow companies total freedom to do whatever you want you have to be willing to take the consequences of whatever those freedoms bring, whether that's polluting the water supply or encouraging MLB to pull out of Georgia over voter rights.

This site (cool intent, good luck) highlights what HN does really well, because this site doesn't go deep on a refined textual experience. HN has a very simple user experience, deep content, and yet remarkably little abuse or junk content. There must be a great deal going on behind the scenes for this clean look and feel, free of abuse. How are bots suppressed? How are abusive users and content avoided? Insight into what that looks like would be most appreciated!

Software Infrastructure 2.0: A Wishlist
The way I would sum this up is that it seems like this person thinks of their code as an asset rather than a liability. I think of code the opposite way around. It's not a perfect analogy, because of course the functionality of the code - along with all the documentation and processes to maintain it - is an asset, but the code itself is not the thing, it's just the thing that gets you to the thing.
That's incorrect there's an opt-in for them to send the in-cabin footage during "emergency situations" or some other ill defined term.

edit:

"Model 3 and Model Y are equipped with a Cabin Camera that is located above the rear-view mirror and turned off by default. If you enable the Cabin Camera, a short video clip will be captured and shared with Tesla following a safety event such as a collision or an advanced emergency braking (AEB) event. This short video clip is intended to capture the few seconds before a safety event and does not include any footage from the safety event itself."

Ha! Those are bizarre. It doesn't make me feel uneasy in the same way, it just looks like something a kid would put together in the Sims.
Sadly me and many others in large corporate environments. Not quite that bad but still pretty bad.

My advice to people is to consolidate projects wherever possible, although you wouldn't know it seeing some project layouts you can still have separate namespaces and folders inside projects. I think many do this in the hope it will help build times but it does the opposite, msbuild is the slow part and csc (the c# compiler) is lightning fast, so make it do the heavy lifting.

Random terminology question:

While I was aware of the term "Reef knot", that knot is commonly, almost exclusively, called a "Square knot" in my (midwestern American) dialect of English.

Is this a British thing?
This seems like a pretty relevant question. Maybe this deli is perfectly located for some HFT play?

I think I get where you are coming from and am quite tempted to start a discussion.

I'm one of three directors of a small IT company in the UK and I'm feeling more and more compelled to steer it towards more innovative and societally important things. We are very small in the grand scheme of things but you will have heard of some of our customers. I am a pointy headed boss (PHB) who runs Arch Linux on his laptop and has a 3D printer on his desk. I also have a hammer drill and a set of sockets on it at the moment. That's at home.

I could probably find some jobs for you but frankly I suggest you start your own firm/organisation, do your thing and get all the rewards in whatever form that means - may not be financial. You sound very close to having a vision. Focus on what you really want to achieve and do it.

If you still fancy a chat, I'm up for it.
When alcohol was illegal, nominally because alcohol is harmful, the result was poison alcohol and violent crime gangs.

Same thing here. The very act of "protecting" the victims creates even more victims and worse victimization, by driving the activity underground and outside of any civilizing public view.

If they were actually concerned about protecting children and women from sexual abuse, then they would regulate, license, inspect, and tax sex work, not try to ban it.

Instead what they care about is pleasing the significant number of voters who publicly behave as though any form of sex or interpersonal relationship other than what they do for themselves, is an inarguable innate objective harm like theft, slavery, maiming, murder, where no one has any valid right to freedom about it.

The arguments don't hold any water, but that doesn't matter in a popularity contest.
That is the problem though. As a consumer you’ll never get to know the intricacies of how things are made and why. The biggest problem at least here on HN is that hardly anyone knows how to articulate their (however valid) critiques, and therefore fallback to cliches and easy-to-quote “laws” that are quite irrelevant among design practitioners.
As long as pumping out isekai stories continues to be profitable (and the target market which is otaku enjoys them), they will continue to proliferate.
Systems eliminate the risk of overshooting or undershooting, on the occasions that we misestimate our capabilities/capacities.

Like Sisyphus, if he had set his mind on getting the boulder to the top of the mountain, he would objectively have lived a failed life. If he focuses instead on the act of each push, then it doesn’t matter if the stone rolls down the hill, his concern is the action, not the outcome.
