Actually, people don't even have to have a domain name for their webpage. But ignoring that - how will people know that this is what they need to do? "I want to create a homepage, I don't know what 'virtual hosting' is. I don't know why I need to be looking for 'services'."

How do you get "years and years of widespread clinical practice" if no one will let people try it?
> if you don't have a colorful tone and strongly condemn something, for most the complaint wont even register

Maybe the argument isn't actually that good if you need to resort to theatrics to make the point register?
The Firefox changes came shortly after Chrome started mess with URLs and so it looked like Firefox was going to follow Chrome's lead on this. However, Firefox never really got further than hiding the "http://" protocol, and this can be changed by setting "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" to false.
Richard Feynman had a joke theory that any purely theoretical mathematical concept when expressed in layman's terms devolves into something completely obvious. So does this actually mean something like "git uses branches."?

"I’m arguing that secularism when taken on face value lacks the tools to recognize it’s own belief system."

Truly a bonkers assertion when secularism includes enormous institutions to fund and perform tasks as various as the hard sciences to the most abstract philosophical investigations and the entire gamut of cultural production around and between.

The average person doesn't much participate in these institutions but the average Catholic hasn't read Humanea Vitae either.
It could be a real recruiter from Google.

Google has outsourced all hiring, their "internal" recruiters are temps working from an external sweatshop.

There are plenty of issues and disincentives. They recruit for Google but they are not allowed to say that they work at Google themselves. They couldn't care less about the company because they don't work there and have zero benefits.

In my experience, if you wait a month to reply to the reach out email, there is a good chance you get a delivery error recipient not found, because the recruiter is not contracted by google anymore. The churn is insane.

Facebook and Apple use internal recruiters (in London). My experience with them was much more positive.
You still have processes, they just are software isolated rather than hardware isolated. You write everything in a language that can guarantee no unsafe behavior then no hardware checks are needed or any task switching and most of the safety checks are done at compile time:

I'm a Microbiologist and Antivaxxers are correct. Sorry if you cant face what you've done. You allowed fear not science to drive your vaccination choice. mRNA can change your genome by transcription when transcriptase is present in the transfected cell, or when transportase moves the mRNA into the cell nucleus. Im not an antivaxxer, but you are antiscience, maybe pro gov shill. Almost every conspiracy theory is actually truth distorted by propaganda. Psychological warfare is the new missile.
> We decide humans are superior to other animals because we are humans, and us>them.

That's painting things with a pretty broad brush, not everyone thinks this way. From conversing with people about the issue, those that do, do so mostly because they haven't actually put any conscious thought into it, even a few minutes is enough to knock down that straw man.

Personally, I think humans are superior to other animals because we are more capable of feeling and thinking than they are. A bacterium or plant cannot feel joy, it cannot communicate pride in it's accomplishments to other members of its species, it cannot feel pain, it cannot suffer, it cannot develop into an adult which can do those things, it just is. A pig, dog, or dolphin can do many of those things, a chicken or fish can a little but much less so.

Empirically, to me, this capability criteria sets a 'value' roughly proportional to their number of cortical neurons on a logarithmic scale.
> I mean, it's sort of great that now this is just a back and forth about the specifics of squab, but I assure you, most squab farmed today will taste far better than 'game' passenger pigeon.

How?!?

How can you assure anyone of that, when the passenger pigeon has been extinct for over a century?

Service AC Surabaya – Facebook
it's not the main point of the article, but curl -X is being misused here. as the manual explains, "Normally you don't need this option. All sorts of GET, HEAD, POST and PUT requests are rather invoked by using dedicated command line options." https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/09/11/unnecessary-use-of-cu... reiterates the issue, along with a reminder that -X persists past redirects (hope your API doesn't redirect to a completion page).

after searching for "PUT" in the manual, I found "-T, --upload-file <file> [...] If this is used on an HTTP(S) server, the PUT command will be used. Use the file name "-" (a single dash) to use stdin instead of a given file."
I wrote my own CSS reset stylesheet because I was tired of copying over the same additions to normalize.css on every new project and wanted to install it directly from npm. Basically it does browser style normalizing + reseting/removing (almost) all default styles.

OK, I'll say it because nobody else seems to want to: the sensible approach would be to ask for some help on one of the several official avenues that are open to you: users.rust-lang.org to begin with, and then the Discord (if you're comfortable with Discord). Aside from the high quality of help available to anyone, of any proficiency level, there's a pretty good chance you can describe your problem to someone who worked on Rust in Firefox.

But why bother with that when you can write passive-aggressive blog posts that are devoid of useful information about the errors that were encountered instead.
> mobile apps industry which it arguably started

Just a friendly reminder that Japanese carriers had a $1B mobile app/content economy going before the Apple app store launched.
In retrospect, the old internet had plenty of derisiveness, toward targets like religion or copyright. Many of the loudest voices switched to today's morality movement without skipping a beat.
Yeah. Hacking together a deployment or CI script is basically an exercise in figuring out which API calls take what parameters, and I would not count it as programming for the purpose of retrospectively feeling like I wrote code.
They reason within the framework of those ideas. If you accept a religious text is accurate and find an obvious contradiction then rather than rejecting the religious text you’re going to try and justify both statements as true.

So if Osiris was said to have red hair in one passage and was blond in another then they may have been referring to different people, one statement was a metaphor, he has hair of both colors at the same time, he had each at different ages, he dyes his hair at some point, etc. And of course people feel such ideas are worth fighting over.
So who takes on the full-time job of curation? Could probably get donations eventually, but the portal would have to sufficiently succeed first.
I fully acknowledge that the README says that it's not an official Google product.

Chapter 3 gives some hints:

> Bookstores tell us that the thing they find most remarkable about our success is how consistently all of our books sell. In fact, Borders, the most respected and successful bookstore chain in the country, reports that ORA is their top publisher, in any category, in terms of consistent sell-through of our entire line of books. Other bookstores tell us that their customers often ask them for the “O’Reilly book” on a topic. Our reputation will help sell your book.
Is that maths soup or a real construct? I can't join the dots but I'm also studying physics so category theory is still slightly Greek to me (I can feel the mathematicians' noses rising already...)

Back when I started working with Python professionally, virtual environments were required before I could grok things. I just could not wrap my head around the crazy inconsistent behavior and nightmare dependencies until I discovered virtual environments.

I've never become a Python fan, but I really don't think it's even usable without virtual environments.

I am grateful to Bill Watterson for gifting us with that.
I don’t know where this urge to whitewash Nero is coming from but it’s worth noting that the stories of child sacrifice in Carthage were widely considered propaganda until archeologists uncovered evidence of it. It’s impossible that any historical source avoids all bias, but incredibly cruel things happened in the past and it’s a mistake to discount it all just because the source shows bias. I hope 2000 years from now people don’t claim the Holocaust was just western propaganda from the victors of the war and make Hitler out to be a hero.

Being able to log in without providing you national ID number. And being able to run a public-facing server without a permit.
I was in this exact same situation a year ago. Learning d3 had always been on my list of things to do but I never got around to it. When I finally found some time I realized that all their resources and tutorials had moved to this heavy interactive thing called "observable" - I was furious because I spent hours trying to find old tutorials. Maybe Observable is a good product for some use cases, but I don't want to deal with it. I want to have plain HTML with plain JS so that I can actually understand what's going on. No layers upon layers of magic. Eventually I gave up.

We need to stop forcing all this unnecessary complexity upon users.
> On the contrary, I would argue that the content quality is drastically lower because of optimisation for revenue and much less purer motivations.

I think the signal to noise ratio has decreased, but that doesn't mean there's less signal; there's just a lot more noise.
>Far left ideologies have a century of murdering tens of millions of people that didn’t agree with them or in some cases just didn’t cheer loudly enough.

There was a big debate in 2019 of communism vs capitalism among two famous professors. When one of them mentioned the communist revolution being a call for "bloody violent revolution" the audience cheered with approval. It was chilling.

Tell HN: I curate HN stories which didn't reach the front page
Hi,

I'd like to introduce, and ask feedback for, my newsletter Interesting Things [1][2].

It's a response to the notion that many interesting stories posted to HN flies past and are not seen. Maybe they could, and should, be surfaced again somehow. A newsletter seemed like a good way to do it.

I experimented by trawling through the 'newest' section of HN. The first few times were mind-numbing. Gosh, there's so much noise in there! . But eventually I became more selective and efficient and it became repeatable.

Then I evolved it and added stories from reddit, newsletters that I subscribe to, and some other places. Whilst a portion of the stories are still from HN, it's no longer only from there.

The criteria is 'What I find interesting' but, since I'm a typical HN reader, the interest profile ends up being similar. It's mainly tech but with splashes of startups, science, productivity, etc. I omit politics. I also try to omit product/press releases, big corp stuff, and stories that would be covered by the mainstream tech press.

There is little overlap with other Hacker-News-based newsletters and digests. This is intentional. They cover the top stories from HN. Mine does not. (Maybe there might be one or two 'tier 1' stories, but the majority are not.)

So anyway ... if you'd like to read interesting stuff (whether or not it was unnoticed by HN) please have a look at Interesting Things. I hope you guys like it and find it ... well ... interesting.

I'm also looking for criticism, feedback and suggestions for improvement. Some sample questions: Do you like the one-two liner blurbs? Are the blurbs useful? What do you think of the distribution of topics? Are there areas where you'd like to see more (or less) coverage? Please let me know. I'm happy to talk.

Thanks for reading!

So it’s okay for a handful of companies to control most of the commutation in the country?

Perhaps home / auto loans should he decided on how “truthful” these companies decide you are.

Death is not the same as torture. Kill me before you ever torture me.
There were in fact many such incidents of persecution and even outright massacres, including in post-revolutionary France, early-20th-century Mexico, and still later in North Korea, Albania and Khmer-Rouge Cambodia. Contrary to common misconceptions, atheism is not inherently more rational or freedom-oriented than any other religious stances.
Read some ancient Greek history texts that have been translated into English. The world is much faster now but absolutely nothing has changed with us.

Favourite example (Thucydides, could be wrong) - "An old man complained to a crowd that the teenagers were spending too much time lazing around talking to the opposite sex than training to fight" (or something to that effect), ever heard that one before?

I agree. I think HN in the perfect combination of the old internet, with the text-only posts, and the web 2.0 way of doing likes and threaded conversations. And, of course, the moderation keeping it all in check. I'm grateful that I can come here every day.

Slashdot still exists, and the text internet is still a thing. It takes a deliberate effort to seek out smaller communities.

I run one myself, because I want more of them to exist.
Similar things happen in a lot of other languages, sometimes it is not even a matter of a changing/evolving spec. (like TypeScript, or any other language that improves type checking or compile/interpretation validations at each minor version - breaking old code because it no longer type-checks/validates).

Sometimes I feel that C is the only language that can benefit from compound gains over time, their spec is tight and sees sparse nuanced improvements in wide intervals of time.
> If you believe you are not religious, it just means that you don’t have the cognitive tools to recognize the secular ideology that you have adopted.

That sounds like twaddle. It could just be that the person recognises their secular ideology - and knows that it doesn't constitute a religion.
As religious faith has declined, comment intensity on HN has risen.

All joking aside this is a pretty well-known phenomenon that folks like Hegel and Nietzsche have discussed. The Enlightenment has had its tentacles on formalized religion for over 300 years in the Western World.

Nietzsche’s mad man who runs about the town telling people that “God is Dead” is not meant to be taken as a positive or light statement. Nietzsche posited that many of the key elements of modern society would cease to have meaning. Why then, if man is not created in the image of God, should man treat fellow man in any which way? What justification does one have for not harming fellow man if his fellow man is but ape?

Books I loved with perspectives on this are “Enlightenment Now” by Steven Pinker and “The Rise of the Modern Self” by Carl Trueman.

“You gotta serve somebody.” -Bob Dylan
If the reduction of suffering is not something that you internally see as valuable, you might want to check with a psychologist (I mean that plain matter-of-fact-ly). While I can construct philosophical arguments and know what nihilism is, outside of thought experiments this is highly unusual for any individual capable of any empathy at all.
What do you believe is the conflict between these two statements?

>> if you're willing to do [human testing], there's no point in doing any animal testing.

> animals are exactly used to avoid early testing on humans

These are two statements of the same idea.
I suppose it’s better than being stressed out. But it took a long time to be comfortable with it. I kept think I’d get fired, as I just wasn’t doing that much. I couldn’t figure out why anyone would want to work that way.
My ISP is subject to GDPR, has an office down the road, I know people who work there, and is answerable to the Data Protection Commissioner. They have a customer service department that answers my calls in person within 30 minutes tops. So yes I trust it more than google or cloudflare. With DNS I have visibility and the ability to block on my own home network on all devices. I can even do MITM on apps to see what they are sending up. All this without any configuration changes on the Endpoint. If I want more privacy I can use VPN or Tor. DOH will send my traffic to Cloudflare and I won't have any say, visibility or blocking capability. Not all phones, ebooks etc ... Will be configurable.... This is a USA centric big tech data grab, plain and simple.

Some things I have learned about maximizing your potential which is sorta’ like unfair advantages:

1. Be slow to react
2. Always look below the surface and expect to find more hidden information
3. Arrive early to appointments
4. Ask questions you already know the answer to
5. Listen way more than speaking
6. Take good notes, and review them later.
7. Skim read, then re-read for relevance.
8. Be kind to yourself
9. Take appropriate risks
10. Find your center, and practice centering.
11. Plan for success.
12. Planning starts with questions or challenges.
13. Define and use process as your guide.
14. Work is necessary for survival, but it is not the answer to life satisfaction-that’s too big of an ask for a job. Play, work on hobbies, volunteer.
15. Look people in the eyes and connect with them.
16. Learn and use a person’s name.
17. Remember that your view of the world is not the same “movie” that other people are watching.
18. Wake up early enough to get some important things done: reading, stretching, centering, exercising, etc.
19. Don’t hold on to negative thoughts—it interferes with your experience and decision making.
20. Be sincere and consistent.
21. Negotiations succeed when both sides win.
22. Giving is the most satisfying experience.
23. Always receive gifts with grace-you give joy to the giver.
24. If you have an important message to deliver, then practice and prepare well to deliver it concisely and effectively.
25. The person who can talk confidently and effectively in front of 5-10 people is on the path to leadership.
26. Every day is a chance to try something new-use that to your advantage.
27. Failure and challenges are a necessary part of a successful life-iff you learn and work to overcome.
28. Explaining in the context of a story is a powerfully effective way to deliver your message.
29. Remember that your view or understanding of a concept is based on your individual knowledge and experiences. Expand your world to achieve higher levels of comprehension.
30. Don’t be afraid. You are way more capable than you think.
Predicting the future is a more lucrative talent than summarizing the past, and I'm not that rich. :)
HN used to be better imho
The sad part is that those websites do exist, but are nigh impossible to stumble upon except in association with a particular context.

For example, small communities around specific interests, and personal sites of authors of specific works.

We really just need a concentrated effort to catalogue and curate them under a single banner. These efforts also do exist, but haven't yet reached critical mass. Probably because policing content is a full-time job.
Then don't use the runtime and rewrite the code to plain js. All you have to do is declare cell contents as variables, and replace the first D3 select, that attaches to a reified dom node, with an #id selector. D3 is a series of tools, where the difficult parts are completely orthogonal to what observable provides.

It's like complaining that you can't learn how to drive in the evening, because there is a different sky color, than during the time you'll take your morning commute. The sky color is not the relevant nor difficult part.

I have my own (different) complaints about observable, but I'm sick and tired of bottom of the barrel programmers complaining about free stuff not being pre-digested enough for them.
Rust+cargo not being as backward compatible as expected is different to the author wanting to solve one specific problem.
