I think the "plugins and widgets" path to making money easily ends up being detrimental to the original free thing. Instead of spending time just improving the thing, one ends up carefully planning out what can acceptably be broken out separately, how to make the thing extensible, billing, advertising, funneling...just all kinds of garbage.

Eventually you end up with a load of staff who are dependent on the thing for their livelihoods, and that influences decision-making. Next up is selling to a company with big resources "to empower us to complete the original vision" and soon after a new scrappy upstart releases their free alternative, to start the cycle again.

If you mean books, then yes.

If you mean DVDs, then no - many TVs will report what you are watching back to the manufacturer.
Yeah. I suspect most people here are software engineers (or related) and IDEs, Docker, and VMs are all standard tools in the SE toolbox. If they aren't using Docker or VMs, then they are probably doing application development, which is also pretty damn RAM hungry.

I do most of my development in Chrome, bash, and sublime text and I'm still using 28GB of RAM.
Dutch suicide stats over 2020 : more or less the same.
When an author is (1) simultaneously lamenting the loss of "roots" and "real culture" and attacking internationalism, (2) taking gratuitous shots at "wokeness," and (3) dressing the whole thing up in an intentionally vague "intellectual" wrapper that doesn't actually add anything substantive, it's not that hard to see where he's heading. All this article needs is a light sprinkling of references to "cultural Marxism" to reach full Jordan Peterson status.
it's not just familiarity though - it was a word able to be verbified at the start. it didn't sound or feel wrong - certainly 'different' or 'new' up front, but few tools have names that are this malleable up front.
Show HN: Chaos, a bookmarking web app (Pocket, Raindrop alternative)
My coworkers often sure don't.
Is race really a more important factor than wealth? I would like to see dynamics across other demographics.
Putting backdoor accounts with a hardcoded username/password in your product should be criminal negligence at this point. Unbelievable.
Hi HN! I’m a long time lurker, and wanted to share something I’ve been working in college. It’s a bookmarking application called Chaos, intended as an alternative to other popular services such as Pocket. I would love to hear any feedback or comments. I will try to onboard as many as I can in waves. Thank you!
To add to the anecdata, I have friends who are therapists as well, and they're approaching burnout. The lockdowns and media hysteria are making latent, managable issues unmanageable. I would wonder if the lack of privacy for many people in vulnerable state is what keeps them from acting.

Given the viral property of suicides[1] in communities, a sudden mean reversion on those stats concievably risks turning into a cascade effect as well, which would manifest just on our way out of this mess.

This is completely constructed in your mind. If you tried this vs any woman rated 100 points higher than you or more, this would be a death sentence. It has nothing to do with gender.

Avoiding the objectively best move just means you're making inaccuracies and blunders, giving the game away for free. Nobody above 1200 rating is going to be "afraid of their position" that is not a thing. Below 1200 rating, there may be people like that due to inexperience, but it would be across both genders IF it existed at all which I'm completely unconvinced of.
"increased suicide rate among teenagers in certain school districts" - from the phrasing, this sounds like media reporting bias.

Well, because it's not just Go. I want other languages to be able to use these. Other languages maybe don't regard ed25519 as a byte array.

> Chrome measures jank every 30 seconds, so Jank in 1% of samples for a given user means jank once every 50 minutes

Is that actually true? Doesn't this just mean that once every 50 minutes the system has been janky for >= 60s? Anything less & you're below the Nyquist frequency & are unlikely to be actually sampling it, no? My knowledge of signal analysis is just what I recall from some intro university classes so there could be more involved here in this claim so happy to learn if I'm misremembering (+ it might be made more complicated because their also sampling across a population of users).

(Speaking as somehow who regularly has to shut down Chrome because it's making my entire machine janky).

Did you have the chance to try your setup on an M1? If it worked for your sister, although you seem to have way higher requirements, is there anything to say it wouldn't work for you?

I'm asking because I read a lot of comments when it was released that it just doesn't need as much RAM because $REASONS. I wouldn't put my money on this, but I'm curious if this assumption holds water now that people have had time to try it out.

Edit: there are such comments further down the thread where it seems to still be a mystery: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26913643

So I'd really like to know where this magic breaks down: if you're used to 128GB or RAM, will the M1 feel sluggish?
Refresh, as in transitioning from one image to another on the display. Partial refresh as in not running the waveform on pixels that don't change color, which dramatically reduces the visual noise for the user. The problem with partial refreshes is the accumulated errors on pixels, and the effects of updating a pixel on the neighboring pixels. The longer you go between full refreshes, the more ghosted cruft you end up with on screen.

There is a waveform that specifically maintains image quality over many partial refreshes. (Interestingly it only works for black text on white backgrounds, and not the other way around, though I'd hope they would have fixed that by now.) It required quite a bit of pre-processing before you slam the frame buffers into the hardware. That logic came to us as a pre-baked kernel module from our hardware vendor, and EIH did not want us to know what was in it, though it wasn't too hard for us to figure out what it did.

And, to some extent, you can just say screw them, I'm making my own waveforms. However, a junk waveform can damage the display if they aren't correctly built to prevent static charge build up. Also, each batch of displays comes out different enough that EIH provides slightly tuned versions of the waveform on a per batch basis. I'm not sure how well the open source model will work when people don't have equivalent hardware. If someone is tuning the waveforms for their panel, that may not work for all users.

The static build up is interesting. I've seen pictures return to the display minutes after it was cleared to white because the charge built up on the display was still affecting the pigments. Never seen a display break due to it, but it was described to us as a theoretical possibility if a waveform wasn't roughly balanced in its actions.

Avoiding unintended connection failures with SO_REUSEPORT
Welfare is basically mandatory charity - it's forcing everyone to chip in (via taxes) for the people who can't manage to support themselves.

What I'm talking about is something else entirely - it's a setup where for example the neighbor takes care of your cows and other animals if you go to town for a day or two. Or you help him rebuild his house after a fire. Or, the older kids of your neighbor look after your younger kid, as they play together outside all day. Or somebody is the village's blacksmith and is fixing everyone's iron equipment. Or, you give excess of apples during harvest to someone and expect some other favor from them down the line. Essentially, it's deep interconnectedness with the people around you and essentially an opposite of welfare state, in which you interact not with your neighbors, but with bored and depressed bureucrats at the welfare office and the kafkesque rules that determine whether or not you will be granted the money.
It's not nonsense. Your source concerns South Korea, an industrialized country with a high suicide rate.

Take a look at all countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r...

Suicide is not mainly determined by absolute poverty. That doesn't mean that socioeconomic factors or financial ruin are irrelevant but it questions the idea that suicide is mainly about material circumstances.
> People that think sex is necessarily "dirty" and worthy of disapproval are people with problems.

I absolutely agree. To add, I think a lot of this comes from people that see sex as this magical thing separate from all other human activities. Not that it is dirty, but that it is special and so cannot be sullied by capitalism. So a coal miner risking his health working underground is normal, but a sex worker risking their health is a reprehensible human rights violation. A retail worker being disrespected and demeaned by customers is just part of the job, but a sex worker feeling like their work is demeaning is a destruction of the beautiful spark that is the human spirit. Someone working 3 minimum wage jobs just to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads is just the way it is, but someone selling sex for the same reasons is an unforgivable exploitation.

I’m all for moving towards a society where no one had to debase themselves, risk their health, or feel forced to work just to survive. But as long as we do all have to sing for our supper, I don’t see sex work as existing outside that framework.
I totally agree with this creed. No matter what happens in the market, we should just hold. It is the most effective strategy in the long run.
When Mike Bloomberg News famously declared "2 Grams can Kill" in an effort to defame ex-President Trump, due to political reasons Bloomberg enlarged the nonsensical ill-effects of Quinine and its modern-day synthesis, Hydroxychloroquine... proving once again that most of the media are tools of the Left.

2 Grams represents 10 pills of 200 milligrams. Usual human does is 1-2 pills. Seriously take 10 pills of anything, then call Mike Bloomberg in the morning.

Wouldn't attempts go up after the pandemic, when the effects have had time to propagate, and not during? Similarly, during normal times attempts go up not during the winter but in the spring, after people have had time to absorb the effects of winter.
For secrecy and access, just relying on end-user keys and encryption is not good enough for me - e2e encryption UX is tricky (key management, backup, access from multiple devices, onboarding), and tends to turn less technically minded users away (or they lock themselves out by not properly backing things up).

For history rewriting and sanitizing: I mean, someone posted something that needs to be removed before it's seen by a wider audience. I don't know, customer PII in the wrong component, abusive content (eg. dox) on a public tracker or internally by a disgruntled employee, server logs in an attachment that should be removed a year after having been posted (in accordance with a privacy policy), etc. I want to ensure that content can be nuked, and access to sensitive data revoked. This is also another reason why secrecy via e2e encryption in a fully decentralized system doesn't work for me: if a user's key gets compromised, all secret data that this user had access to is forever accessible to the attacker. With server-side access, it can be revoked, which helps if the data has not yet been downloaded. Plus you can keep an audit trail to detect any attempts at data exfiltration, while data exfiltrated by key compromise might never be detected.

+1 for clojuredocs. I'm at a company that uses Clojure now, and I've found that stackoverflow just isn't the place for Clojure, so I've been sticking to clojuredocs, which is great.

For personal stuff, I finally started using manpages, and it's been great. Mostly very clear docs + convenient search with apropos.
I have written robot software...curious what context you were in.

I've been doing industrial automation with commercial robot arms, where testing is mostly functional and there's very few system checks. You're basically jogging the robot with the teach pendant, recording points, and reading digital IO. There are minimal system checks, simulation is mostly to make sure the cell CAD layout is reachable and less to verify that things are working correctly. Version control is completely offline, there's not even an "undo" feature to revert a touched up point unless you underwent a tedious and slow backup procedure.

That said, like you, none of my robots cost more than 6 figures, and they're all permanently anchored to terrestrial steel and concrete...
Back before Google, developers actually had to know what they were doing. Most kept textbooks on their bookshelves and cheat-sheets in their notebooks.

I've done a lot of work in air-gapped secure facilities where no Internet is available. Whenever we get a new-hire, they must adapt to not having Google as an instant resource. About half of them cannot cope, and they move on within a few months. The half that stay actually become much more competent because they no longer use Google as a crutch.
These are all really good points, but what about the cost at the data center?
The stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment lifted a lot of people out of poverty this year, especially those with families.
I'll take this further - being able to frame and define a question well enough to get the right answer is a key skill in many walks of life.
The best of both worlds is movies that come with a digital code (usually moviesanywhere.com codes now) so you have both the physical media and the ability to enjoy the digital title on a digital library.
No comment on sex differences in general, but aren’t we past the point where we think of the brain as “separate” from the rest of the body? Microbiomes, hormones, exercise... all of the parts of the body seem to be deeply interconnected and can’t exist separately or really be isolated at all - including the brain. Am I right here?
You implied that they only saw a difference because Apple wasn't using "modern processors". You can't exclude everything but Zen 3 from any sensible definition of "modern processor".

Or another way to grok the process shrinkage is to consider that the MC68000, if manufactured with current process dimensions, would fit within the space of a single gate of the original process.
I look at it with extra scruitiny, as I saw quite a few times diffent reserach results, e.g. https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/12/16/pediatricssu...

"Results showed recent suicidal ideation was 1.60 and 1.45 times higher in March and July 2020, respectively, than in March and July 2019. Odds of recent suicide attempt were 1.58, 2.34, 1.75 and 1.77 times higher in February, March, April and July 2020 than the same months in 2019, respectively."

Ideation and attempt is not the same as death, but it is pretty alarming on its own.

Additionally, I would expect that the longer lockdown gets, the higher suicide rate. Social isolation may take time to "kick in", in the meantime more people got out of business (or run in other serious troubles), and (likely) there was more hope in the first months for things to be over soon.

I was sort of wondering about this in a different way: How many nursing home suicides were preempted by an actual COVID-19 death? From a quick glance at the data, I don't think it would have accounted for the 5.7% drop, but I think it's worth considering among other factors.

(I'm not a denier or downplayer)
They had a good idea, but they applied "old world" thinking to it.

The single biggest issue with software development, is that it is incredibly dynamic.

Static solutions don't work, and CMMI is a very static solution. Sadly, a lot of quality practices are static.

Dynamic solutions are really difficult to get right, and tend to depend on a lot of hard-to-quantify variables, like the experience and talents of individuals on a team.

For example, I am quite good at designing fairly complex systems, as long as I am doing it alone. I can hold some fairly ambitious designs in my head; which allows me a great deal of flexibility. I can start with a fairly "fuzzy" architectural model (I call it my "napkin sketch"), and begin a project fairly quickly. As the project progresses, I can apply some massive structural changes, and pivot fairly easily.

However, the minute I need to communicate this plan, the whole shooting match comes to a screeching halt.

Team overhead is a really big deal, and I believe it is seldom factored into our plans, in any kind of realistic manner.
What I'm pointing out it is that, whether people acknowledge it or not, they're treating everyone as though they're infected.

So something like masking is required even if someone seems healthy. It's a regime of constant anxiety and latching onto any and every doom scenario.

So with the same logic, we should be assuming every sex partner has an incurable STI. Especially with the emerging threat of antibiotic-resistant strains, the most risk-avoidant with respect to SARS-CoV-2 would only be consistent by likewise being in favor of extreme measures like mandated condoms, quarantining, forced testing, etc. with something like STIs.

I don't agree with this at all - but it's clear that there's a fixation with COVID that doesn't get applied to other large aspects of society.

If we care about people's health - why don't we lock up fat people and force feed them a strict diet until they're a healthy weight? It's hard for me to see anything under the current public health/political regime that wouldn't justify this.

This is easy to observe in somewhere like San Francisco. Most traces of culture from the pre-1990 era have been erased completely or have been turned into a theme park. Contemporary SF has almost zero connection to its roots and the sociopolitical consequences speak for themselves.
