That button exists, it's blue and written "Following" and turns red with the label "Unfollow" when you hover.

And yes, you can configure twitter + using tweetdeck to only see tweets in chronological order and only from people you follow.
There isn’t anything with that name, AFAICT. Did you mean “frame dragging”?

Dan congrats!

Q: Was a reason you choose a User installed application (Electron or Mobile App) vs SaaS to avoid having to store username/password for sites and the ToS issues that result from that? Or am I off base with previous comments in another Discord?

That’s the wrong answer and always has been. You don’t need to store your entire video in RAM to edit it, and never have. I’m sure you can find many descriptions of how it actually works without having to guess but 4K video processing and editing has been done for decades and decades now on computers with barely Apple Watch grade CPUs. George Lucas was using an EditDroid to edit 35mm film through the generation of edit lists on a computer controlling a Laserdisc player. The computer had very limited RAM, IIRC 16MB which was extravagant at the time.

The editing process for the average YouTube ‘content creator’ may consist of previewing a bunch of effects and transitions and animated floating text in real time until they think they’ve hit the right viral load but in practice professional editing is still done by the composition of edit lists from preview material.
No. You can choose which drugs you try, but you can't choose which ones are addictive to you.
Back in 2020, a Japanese team did the worlds first transplant of lab grown heart cells into a patient. There is definitely progress being made on this.
Both sides came closer to bomber and missile strikes each against the other than any sane person is comfortable with. MAD is one of the main reasons it never happened, and that itself is a discomforting thought.
I can confirm that, as I work in large non-tech company as Product Manager on the Software side. Our marketing people are solely composed of marketing people who send everything to agency and hire a few east-asia developpers to make Dashboards (campaign, click through rate, price per click...).
I wanted to break a bit into that field but have a hard time as I am not even able to have deeper discussion with this team as they keep sellinh me this as voodoo.

Is there a value to know that skill nowadays or will this be outsourced to « agencies » or using salesforce like tools?
See my other comment on this thread, I totally see now this is a joke. :)
Fairly typically for an ex-academic, I had accumulated a lot of books over the years, and I moved a lot. After one international move I realized that my books cost more than $5k to move, including boxes that hadn't been opened since the previous move.

A cull happened before the next one, and pretty much every one since.
I agree that we say you can’t come and feel it is a terrible mistake to do so. I would favor much more liberal immigration policies and guest worker programs at all skill levels. This particular paper is about more skilled migrants.
If you can't respond to bad things in a good way, please don't respond at all; adding more badness only makes things worse.

"Good" in this context refers to the expected value of the subthread the comment leads to, as described here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

We're particularly trying to avoid the online callout/shaming culture here because it leads to more bad things; please don't practice that here.
Indians cannot get news critical of the government from companies within India. They have various tools and methods to harass Indian media into submission, that is simply not available against international media.

The reason for the ban is obvious. Twitter tagged propaganda by the government as fake news.
Those cosmetic items are visible to others in gameplay, so they serve as status symbols.

The features that Twitter is advertising for its premium service all seem to be purely client-side, with the exception of the ‘edit’ button, but that doesn’t seem like a particularly compelling justification for a $3/mo subscription.

Nope. The HN comment section (compared to other websites) is awesome.

Now, on the other hand, YouTube / Reddit, or worse, Facebook...
We have had moderated platforms for discussion, but when people don't like being told they're wrong (especially when they are) they create their own.

Personal details don't deter it, as shown by the various platforms that were inhabited by the alt-right. There's a cultural lack of responsibility for the truth.
I have not worked with it recently. I recall needing to rewrite a URL and it not being possible with .htaccess - which would have taken a couple minutes. Instead I had to learn the WordPress URL rewrite system.

Can someone explain to me what is the benefit of taking control of freenode? Is there an income stream or something?
I see all these comments about the trash and hate on Twitter, and I just wish that I could show them how I use it, and how wonderful a source of intellectual stimulation it can be.

My feed is highly curated.
1) I mute all political words. Nothing good comes from these discussions. I also mute things that just don't contribute to my peace of mind (a recent addition being "basecamp")

2) I block users who put out garbage content or try to stir things up

3) I use lists that I view on TweetDeck, so I can have lists based on my different interests (i.e. investing, entrepreneurs, interesting people, philosophy, etc)

Using this it becomes a dream feed. I get stimulating content, great discussions, and interesting ideas. On top of that I've actually made some solid friends from the network over the years, some in-person ones as well.
I didn't move cross-country, but moved almost up the entire west coast, and hiring a moving company cost around 10% of what it would have cost to replace all of our furniture and other possessions. We came up with a pretty accurate replacement cost value to make sure we got the right amount of insurance coverage.

Plus it's a extra hassle to get rid all your stuff -- you need to deal with flaky Craigslist people, or try to donate it and then hire someone to haul away what the charities won't accept. "What do you mean you won't take this couch because of that small tear you can't even see!? I was literally using it today!"
And then there is super warp speed using group endomorphisms to increase scalar multiplication by 2x over windowed methods.
But it's easier to notice they're outdated, because you don't see them only when looking at the implementation.
Yes! T-Mobile is aiming to have 7-8M home broadband customers in 2025. Their home broadband business is relatively small right now, but it should be expanding fast. To put that in perspective, Verizon Fios only serves around 5M customers. Getting 7-8M customers would probably make T-Mobile the 4th largest home broadband provider behind Comcast, Charter, and AT&T.

Verizon has also announced that it's looking to cover 50M households with home broadband in 2024. While not as ambitious as T-Mobile, that's still around 40% of households getting new home broadband competition.

I'm less confident that coax will go the way of POTS. DOCSIS 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 can offer pretty decent speeds and the networks are already built. I think the coming competition will push DOCSIS-based systems to actually offer better service. Comcast can and does offer gigabit service today, but they tend to charge a lot for it as a premium service.

While I'm very bullish about wireless home internet (especially as carriers deploy mid-band spectrum with T-Mobile leading the way in 2021 and Verizon and AT&T following in the 2022-2024 time-frame), I think we're still going to see certain limitations with wireless. I don't think that will matter to most people. Most people just want to be able to stream video, Zoom, etc. They don't need gigabit speeds. Heck, 5 HD video streams can fit into 25Mbps. Even if wireless home internet won't be a great option for some power-users, the fact that it will be an option for so many people will make it a lot harder for cable companies to be mean to their customers.
Right - I think we can all agree that there is no power-generation method that is "good" for the environment, only for us. I still can't imagine a situation where our growing power needs are met without a viable nuclear component, but maybe the timelines & political steadiness just aren't there for it.
Ideally you'd store it, but if your system is sized for the short days of winter, you may have excess energy in the summer that you cannot store once your batteries are full.
Ask HN: Why is it a big deal that FTL violates causality?
As far as I can tell, FTL allows you to send a message in such a way that you can receive it before it was sent. But how would that allow me to create a time paradox wherein I can cause myself to not be born? My naive brain doesn't see how this constitutes "real" time travel where I can go back in time in my current reference frame.
Moved from Bolivia to Miami with wife and kids with all I owned as well.

I recall that time as oddly freeing. I had my pick of how to build my new home. New beds, dining tables, the works.

We started out with salvation army stuff because we didn't want to commit to expensive things without even knowing the marketplace here. We were TRULY new to the US. Didn't know a single store except Walmart (from what we saw online).

Now we have a very comfortable life but some days I do wish I could light my belongings on fire and start fresh.

These days I see things I purchase as liabilities. I bought this super nintendo classic, oh now I have to take care of this thing. There it sits collecting dust. I don't buy many knick-knacks anymore.
I disagree with the paper because it neglects the possibility of engineered approaches to reverse the mechanisms of ageing

>Is Dietrich still talking now?

It's precisely the opposite, she avoided talking until now. She asked Fravor to remain anonymous, and she came forward in a 60 Minutes interview if I recall correctly.

Just to add up, 4 pilots were eye witnesses (2 pilots on 2 planes).
"Latinx" (pronounced "Latin-X", like "Malcom X") is a very common term among people who think they're better than other people, and Chicago politicians.

It's supposed to be an all-encompassing term for "Laino" and "Latina," but only serves to divide people further. Like almost every other ethnic rebranding of the last ten years.
If they introduce targeted ads or up-votes/interactions could be monetized in HN, even with the the same community, you would start to see the deterioration IMHO.

Cool headed, interesting or curious do not generate enough click through as much as controversial, conspiracy theory, outrageous, hateful, etc. It's interesting that there's no ban on political or controversial content in HN but still, you don't see them take over the platform. The incentive is simply not there!
I remember many years ago I bought a small amount of Apple stock for fun, and come tax time, I realized I would need to pay TurboTax like $80 to do my taxes because I had make like $8 of dividends from that Apple stock.
Show HN: A small browser game where you have to guess the year things happened
Hey guys, I want to show off my weekend project: https://guess-the-year.davjhan.com

It’s a game where you have to guess the year that famous events happened between 1900 and 2021. Questions range from geo-political conflicts to when inventions and companies were founded. Questions include:

- What year was the CIA founded?

- What year did the Titanic sink?

- What yea was the first Nobel prize awarded?

- What year did George Orwell publish Nineteen Eighty-Four?

- What year did Calvin Coolidge become president of the United States?

Hope you have fun with it. My personal high score is 10, but one of my friends managed to get 24.

Here's the github repo: https://github.com/davjhan/guess-the-year-game

I used

- Sveltekit (beta)

- TailwindCSS (JIT)

- Hosted on Netlify

- Plausible Analytics

That's it! I really recommend SvelteKit to everyone! It's awesome!
Ah yes, the neoliberal turn.

Analysis of a 1965 Photo to Learn Where and How It Was Shot
That’s something I’ve been meaning to ask about:

Does FTL really inevitably mean that, or is that a consequence of saying “no preferred frame of reference” and therefore having e.g. “100c” meaning different things to observers in relative motion?
Love his videos. Helped me get back into coding and c++.
Surely just loosening the targets 10% would do more for stress
I once wrote about how you can achieve something similar with uBlock Origin: https://schleiss.io/fixing-twitter-design-with-extension The post was from 2018 so I don't know if the css classes are still valid, also I messed up the images after an update, but I hope you get the gist.
I did see it! Let me know if you have feedback to improve it.
Some things to think about

1. Are the questions you're asking completely ad hoc? Or can you mostly define them ahead of time? If it's the former then you should be looking at getting your OLTP data into Clickhouse. If it's the latter then you should be looking to aggregate the data to various levels and get it out of Clickhouse.

All three of your sample questions lend themselves quite nicely to pre-aggregation. I'm sure your actual questions are more complex, but what I'd do to address all three of your examples is every night I'd roll up the raw events into (person_id, date, event_count) and send it back over to Postgres. Then every week you roll up the previous seven days into (person_id, week, event_count). Each month you roll the weeks up and each year you roll the months up. If you need the data more frequently than daily then you can go down to hourly or whatever it is you need.

Now you've got your data back into Postgres but at a reasonable granularity. Depending on the cardinality of the user-*group relationship you might have to do some magic to pre-aggregate that if the join is big as well, which could turn into a challenge as group membership changes (you'd need to re-aggregate all your group metrics any time group membership changed) but it's still better than trying to join across the Clickhouse/Postgres boundary.

If you really do need to support totally ad hoc questions all the time then you should figure out how to get your Postgres data into Clickhouse. If the data really gets update infrequently then it shouldn't be a problem to get changes in user/group membership into Clickhouse quickly, then you can do all your joins and analysis completely in Clickhouse.

2. Do you really want the current group memberships? Or do you want the group memberships at the time the event occurred? It's a subtle difference and there's not usually one right answer (or the answer is "I need both").
Shoutcast also had streaming porn.
Yea, may be niche. There's still a fun aspect to the DJ part, but is there much value for the audience? Do the DJs add anything beyond what a personalized playlist that Apple or Spotify serves up?
I've heard before that the climate in Sweden is relatively mild considering its latitude, mostly due to the marine currents. A quick comparison of climate seems to suggest that this is the case: https://www.weather2travel.com/weather-comparison/?placename...
I don't think you're fully appreciating the context here... The moderator of that community had been trying over and over, both privately and in public, to get this person to follow community norms for years, but they just would not do so.

To me, who has been in that community for years, it was entirely the correct action to take. Moderation is hard and no fun at all, but it needs to be done, or else a community will descend into madness.
Also record context as the last thing you do before you go out the door at the end of the workday. Makes it much easier the next day to pick up where you left off. A quickie brain dump - a couple of lines, a couple of paragraphs.
A lot of confusion over what a cell phone camera can capture.

Average cell camera lens is around 24mm. If you were to photograph an air show with that you, you would be getting nothing usable. Even at 500mm you will need to crop out the majority the frame.

Then comes lens shake mathematics. If you were photographing a baseball game you’d have to be shooting at 1/1000 of a second to stop the motion of the ball.

To capture the motions of objects such as these you’d need a professional camera maxed out shutter speed 1/8000 of a second and a 500mm lens with an extender. Run the numbers on that budget...

Then think of the ISO factor. Image sensors sensitivity at night is still developing. Good luck capturing an object moving 10gs at ISO 12,000...

Getting a picture of an object in motion with a cell phone is not gonna turn out great. Especially at great distances. You need thousands of dollars worth of equipment and a firm grasp of photo science. It’s not for amateurs.

Brass tacts. You need an amazing camera, amazing lens, and the technical prowess to know how to stop motion through photography.
Indeed, collusions are part of the thing for me (wouldn't forbidding them be a regulation, which opposes free market?).

I can understand that someone would want a free market but forbid collusions though.

But are collusions a cause for an ISP raising there prices when there are no competitors?

From the article:

> If you qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, your first $108,700 is exempt from U.S. income tax. But keep in mind that this applies only if you’re a U.S. citizen who resides in a foreign country for more than 330 days within 12 consecutive months, not including time on planes, or if you are a bona fide resident of a foreign country. (You would still have to pay federal and state taxes on unearned income including interest, dividends and capital gains.)
I think they mean Alcubierre Drive: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive
A lot of the privileged Indians are rooting for a fascist government, that would "restore" their religious and caste elitism from 2000 years ago. This requires a constant dissemination of fake news and calls to violence, which Twitter is tagging as misleading information.

Hence, the anger in the comments and downvoting by upper caste folks of Indian origin.
What's the difference between this and pointing out how someone's argument is flawed? i.e. "You said 'X therefore Y', but following that reasoning you could say 'X implies (obviously-wrong) Z'. X is not logically incompatible with !Y because..."

(Not that this is ever successful in places like Twitter.)
> Forbes estimated 1 million people are using Nitro as of 2020, and they made $130 million in revenue in 2020. If you assume that's all the $10/month Nitro (not the cheaper Nitro Classic), then 1 million users paying for Nitro would only account for a pretty small percentage of that. If the Nitro users estimate is accurate, not sure where the rest comes from.

1 million users * $10/month/user * 12 months/year = $120 million/year

That is close to the cited $130m annual revenue.
Valid points. I probably came on a bit strong as well. My comments weren’t directed at your title or even content so much as the discussion I’m seeing both here and in my own workplace. I have managers who (God bless them) spend a lot of effort reducing interruptions, and I think that’s a valid effort.

That said, over the years I’ve learned to recognize that when I’m buried deeply enough in anything for an interruption to be particularly disruptive, I’m setting myself and whoever has to deal with my work next up for failure.

Even more so, working from home with 4 kids who homeschool, it just wouldn’t work if I couldn’t find a way to deal with urgent and jarring interruptions haha.
Not having a point of reference, I did the math on my house using the most recent valuation. Built in early 2000's and sitting on 10 acres of Minnesota farmland. Came to under $150/sqft.

Western prices are insane!
Nice article. Just a good reminder to think about the 'unwritten objects' which emerge out of one's code and to compose those sensibly as well.

Kinda reminds me of contracts -- it's not what's written in the contract that matters, but rather what's not written. Teasing out the natural consequences of the interaction between the stated and unstated is a requirement of being a good lawyer (well, as far as contracts are concerned). Perhaps there's an analogy for good programmers?
