I totally get that, but the thing is: what determines whether you're making a high-quality/substantive or low-quality/flamewar contribution has not only do with your perspective, but also that of the reader—or rather the distribution of reader perspectives that your comment is landing with.

The key thing to understand is that the value of a comment is the expected value of the subthread it forms the root of: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

If you want an in-depth explanation of this, the best one I know of is this lengthy interaction I had a few weeks ago with a commenter in a similar situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27161365. The in-depth portion starts here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27162386.

I kind of disagree, I think this was more based on ad-tech taking over and pages optimizing for SEO and session-length and things like that. The metrics changed when the customer changed as we moved to free software.
Tests are a development tool: they make it easier for developers to change code confidently.

So to rephrase the question: save the code, or save something that makes it easier to change code you no longer have? It seems a bit easier to answer if asked this way...
You obviously wouldn't use Kelly criterion during a poker game because the assumptions don't fit. But on a larger scale it can be used for 'bankroll management' - what proportion of your wealth should you use on a tournament entry fee. Of course you don't have the exact parameter p but you can use an estimate to make sure you are not making a grossly over/under-sized bet.
I am using Dell U3417W monitor [0] with windows desktop and linux laptop. Keyboard and mouse are connected to the monitor (via one Logitech unifying receiver). The monitor has built-in KVM switch and when I change video input using monitor hardware buttons keyboard and mouse switch automatically. And it's amazing! As far as I know the monitor has 2 or 3 USB A ports.

I found an article that seems to explain how to set everything up [1]. Sorry for medium, should work in incognito.

Interestingly, I almost bought standalone KVM switch when I discovered that my monitor already has one. Three years after I bought the monitor, I finally understood why there was that fancy blue USB 3 B cable in the box.

Also Logitech MX keys keyboard and MX master 2S mouse support three bluetooth/logitech adapter devices. So I can use this setup occasionally with a tablet and with my old mac that has hardly functioning keyboard and trackpad.

Logitech and Dell devices are worth the money.

The Portrait Mode video limitation makes sense. When I do Zoom calls with regular video and no backgrounds, my Intel MBP gets quite warm and burns through battery. I certainly won't upgrade just to get this feature, but I will look forward to trying it when the time comes.

iOS has 60% of the market in the US. This is cited (repeatedly) by the exact same Wikipedia article you looked at.

As a Canadian, born in Calgary, Alberta, I'm saddened to hear this. But it seems to be part of the platform of the Democrats.

As a citizen of Earth, I'm of mixed feelings. On the one hand heavy crude from the tar sands, which is some of the most polluting oil on the planet, because it requires so much energy to extract, will keep shipping by rail to the United States. That involves more spills than a pipeline and burning yet more fuel. That's bad.

On the other hand that makes the prices higher and both constrains the volume of output and the price at which it's profitable to extract. Both things that mean more of that tar sands oil will stay in the ground. That's good.

On the other, other hand - more tar sands oil staying in the ground means more oil from elsewhere in the world, often from politically unstable or unfriendly regimes will replace the oil the US otherwise would have imported from Canada. That's potentially bad.

I'm not sure which outcome is better for Canada, the USA, or the world. I'm pretty sure neither Obama, Trump, not Biden had any accurate idea either.

Edit: and the downvotes are because you disagree with my economic analysis? Or because you think any of those politicians actually have a solid, fundamental analysis including unintentional consequences? Get real, they did it for political reasons, that's why they came out on different sides of the issue based on party lines. Actually judging by the downvotes, I think it was a smart political move. I really wish HN would require a comment with a downvote, even if it's only visible to the OP.
I once attempted to make something like ProxySwitchy for DNS[1], but I didn't work on it long enough to get off the ground. This article made me think about it again. Is there actually a use case for that kind of thing?

Page 27: Vince(vi) and independently Thorpv(ii) provide a solution that satisfies the Kelly Criterion for the continuous finance case, often quoted in the financial community to the effect that “f should equal the expected excess return of the strategy divided by the expected variance of the excess return:”

f = (m-r) / s^2

so it's Sharpe with variance instead of standard deviation in the denominator, correct?

The EU has a 6-month rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

So this is the President of France postulating that when his country takes the Presidency next year, he will use that to push French to be the next working language. I don’t know what the President of the Council of Europe does besides Chair meetings, but apparently it includes setting the language for which the meetings will be held in.

So this isn’t something the EU as a whole has determined will be policy going forward, more like the first guy to drop his pants in a newly opened frontier for dick-waving. If this was something the President of the Council of the European Union could do unilaterally anyway, then my read is that Emmanuel Macron would have pulled this stunt, Brexit or no Brexit, and Brexit is just convenient political cover.

More likely this won’t last more than the 6 months that France has the Presidency, and it will be amusing to see if say, Hungary the next time they have the Presidency insists on high level communications in Hungarian.

It's not that it's hard to read his texts, and sometimes there's still some good stuff in there. It's that once someone shows bad judgment you have to think about how that manifests, and that manifests in poor thinking that's well-disguised.

No, but several small apps in my organization suffer from a similar problem. Gaps in the application cause users to either make mistakes or want to do "batch" type operations so users create some awful spreadsheet that gets sent the team's developers. Those developers then take those spreadsheets and do some series of one-off SQL scripts to pull those changes/updates into the db backends.

You could try to move to the mess we have - at least our updates are being done by app developers. These devs typically have a better shot at not corrupting data or breaking things.

Longer term (and I haven't been successful at this), I would try to convince the dev team that these types of use cases (users executing SQL) represent really fruitful feature requirements. In our case, I'd like to make app changes that allow the users to do these types of things via features in the app. But there are also trade-offs for dev time and whether or not these user-driven SQL hacks are actually features or more like "one-off" tasks . . .

Netflix does not allow you to sign up in their iOS app. You have to sing up and set up payment through their website, but you can use your username and password to use your subscription in iOS. They do not pay the Apple Tax.

Hey tried to use the exact same, but Apple said they MUST allow sign ups in the app, using in-app purchase API, and paying 30% to Apple. Apple was not going to allow Hey to do what Netflix/Spotify/etc have done for ages, until public sentiments and social media storm forced them to acquiesce.
I’m french and most of the content i watch is also in english, made mostly by americans with an american point of views and ways of resolving problems. Sometime in british english with british point of view.

I think it’s sad that that you don’t seem to realize that it’s a problem that most of the content we are exposed comes from a single culture.

As for the move, it’s totally useless, and if they wanted to be strongest against english they should have said “we’ll only accept communication in french or german” but that would have meant most of the communications would have been in german.

Can you elaborate on your reasons?
If you read the article, they are calculating a fictitious thing they call the “true tax rate”. This is the tax paid compared to the growth in assets.

That is not an income tax. It’s a wealth tax. It feels like conflating the debt and the deficit. Effectively you would have to have a deemed sale of all assets at the end of the year and pay tax on the gain/loss.

I agree that the rich have access to tax planning machinations that most tax payers do not. But this doesn’t bluster their argument.

I write this as an active contributor to Actix-Web, and working on a Rust web framework of my own. Rust is amazing, the guarantees and performance it provides are incredible. However, the async ecosystem is immature. Without GATs and TiiT, you cannot have async fns in traits, making writing middleware and services much more difficult to write. Along with that, async and lifetimes, or unmet Send + Sync bounds leads to long, often confusing compiler errors. Current runtimes require you to think about blocking. While this is not as much of a problem for those who have dealt with this from other languages, I cannot count the number of times I have seen someone write `tokio::spawn(async { users::get(conn) })` - blocking the executor. Mixing async and sync, or even worse, mixing tokio and async-std is a pain. Compared to Go and Javascript, Rust will be hard, there is no denying that. I love Rust. As someone who understands and writes lower-level async code, I do think it has a place in the web world, and there is active work being done by the async-wg to improve ergonomics. However, it's not there as a general-purpose server-side language yet, and I am not sure it will ever be. Sure, use it for certain services, or side projects you want to have fun with. Is there ever going to be a "Rails for Rust"? Probably not, but people will and are trying :)
Or use the web.
A gram of wax lasts me probably 50+ hits. It seriously lasts a long time. A tiny little crumb you can pinch out of the jar is more than enough for a big hit
Comments like this make me feel like core software quality is rotting across the board. On my Windows 10 computer the start key on my keyboard does not reliably open the start menu for the first 30m or so after a cold boot and will sometimes fail at other times. Sometimes when the menu launches it's missing the search pane, or missing the files pane, or missing the left pane. This is the start menu failing, a key component of windows since 9x. I have a cluttered desktop, and sometime in the last month or so I hit some unknown limit where now loading the desktop as a folder from explorer takes forever and hangs explorer. To load a list of files and folders.

But as of the update automatically installed today, there is a pointless weather widget added to my taskbar, and clicking on it opens the news? That's a core feature of the desktop OS?

Computers and software are getting more and more broadly capable but it feels like a high level of quality is not being maintained across that broad scope, even on the essentials.

We all need to transition to renewable energy. It's not good for Canada to become more invested in the oil economy, just as electric cars, trucks and renewables are starting to boom. It's neither good for you environmentally or economically if you have a 10+ year horizon.

I aver that it's more difficult for a rich person to game a decentralized system than a centralized one. A land tax necessarily concentrates an important axis of power into the hands of fewer people.

The weird thing is that the EU doesn’t have a rule on languages already set in a way which puts this out of the reach of an arbitrary dictat of the current holder of the rotating Presidency.

Though I suspect this might be thr impetus for changing that once France’s term expires.
I believe there is space for great looking design that is also functional. The problem is that achieve this balance takes time and knowledge, and the software industry has a very short term focus, so you end up with non-solutions that are supported purely by hype.

Our current government structures seem incapable of planning more than 1 year out. Without radically higher oil prices it seems unlikely we'll see the large scale changes needed.

Shut down as many pipelines as we can, stop producing oil, build solar farms, build wind farms, build nuclear, everything should be on the table and done simultaneously if we want our grandchildren to have a live remotely similar to ours.

The framing of governments and media seems like only half steps are possible, but those steps will still kill us.
In general, Airy is mostly targeted at mid market companies and enterprises that deal with a lot of conversations, e.g. we helped a European retail company to launch conversational experiences on Google Search and Google Maps for their central customer support team and their 1,800 local stores (https://businessmessages.google/success-stories/tedi/).

Airy gives you an enterprise-grade communication infrastructure, running in a Kubernetes cluster, for example EKS with several virtual machines when you are running on AWS. Our recommended initial setup consists out of two c5.xlarge EC2 instances. This should be powerful enough to handle several conversational sources and a few hundred thousand conversations per month. We also have a few rather large SMBs among our customers, but the average SMB rarely gets to such amounts of conversational traffic yet.

Installing Airy is rather easy and can be done with our Airy CLI to set up a remote cloud instance from your local machine with a single command e.g. in AWS ("airy create --provider=aws").

We also have a tutorial detailing the individual steps to get an Airy instance up and running, and also properly secured of course: https://blog.airy.co/tutorial-airy-installation-aws/
Obsolète? French is one of the most spoken languages in the world, accounting for nearly 300M daily speakers, and a few hundred million more secondary speakers (120M learning, and 70-100m partial speakers).¹

French is also the official language in 29 countries, which puts it in second place behind English, and is the official procedural language for EU courts and one of the core main languages for the UN.

Not only this, but several reports are saying that by 2050 nearly 700M will be speaking French²

You’re missing the part where apple only allows users to install apps through that App Store
That sums up the dilemma.

Killing the pipeline will help but not in a vacuum. Continued policy/pressure needs to be applied to move away from oil, which is probably best for the sake of the world.
Doubt it, mobile phones have only increased in features. More features, more likely need native app.

What incentive to does Apple have to make people use apps less and the web more?
> Then, you start up Universal Control by dragging your mouse pointer all the way to the left or right edge of your Mac’s screen, then a little bit beyond that edge. When you do, the Mac will assume that you’re trying to drag the mouse over to another device, in this case the iPad.

That's really clever! Users of multiple screens already know to do that, and that also makes users get used to treating other devices just like another screen.
Camera takes photos and compares with how it should look like.
It concentrates an important axis of power (setting prices on a rivalrous good) into the hands of the few. That is necessarily worse for the disenfranchised. I thought that was clear from my comment, I guess not.

My statement is not one of apathy, but a prediction of worse comparative outcomes with mechanistic backing.
