The problem with personal sites is that they're hard to discover.

I think the problem with the web as it is now is that it's too easy to discover sites. Which is why more and more (though not enough) people distrust the large search providers.

Nothing the tech companies have invented carries the weight of word-of-mouth and personal recommendations. You've probably seen it in your own browsing.

Search for something → Open 30 tabs from the search results and look at each one for a fraction of a second.

See a link described on HN → Open one tab and give it a fair shot.

It would be nice to see the return of niche search engines. Want to know something about architecture? Visit architecturesearch.example and when you search for "skyscraper" you get information about tall buildings, and not bad action films and ads for high-heeled shoes.
you can also use wordpress with the fediverse too, there is a good plugin that lets you syndicate your posts out and let the rest of the fediverse follow/comment/etc from where they already are
Should something harder require more people to be employed?
I experience the same thing, although I cannot even visualize a fleeting triangle unless I am at the edge of falling asleep. I would describe the focus effect as similar to looking through a pair of binoculars, making the target occupy the entire field of view with an exaggerated sense of depth. I associate it with flow and consciously noticing the effect usually interrupts my focus enough to make it dissipate. I've never found a name for this phenomenon.

Interesting idea, especially since it sidesteps the not-uncommon temptation to send a scorched-earth "f*** the lot of you" resignation. If you're composing it at the beginning of the job when you're perfectly happy, you're just going to have boilerplate pleasantries to write down.
Write a doc with items that led to and will lead to completion of the project. Write your name around things that you have completed. Write others names around things they have completed.

Once that's done, find some blockers/people challenges on the list. Put the managers name on them. Let them know that the delay is because of them. When they ask you on Monday, ask them why the blockers are not resolved yet and let them know that the release will be delayed until they fix their end.

“But others say it is foundational material”
CISSP requires 5 years of industry experience. Clearly not foundational. I pin it as intermediate. The EU agreed, ranking it equivalent to a masters degree.

Dude, it isn’t like we can’t see what red-letter Jesus said and did, and also see that many — even a majority — of self-identifying “Christians” behave in ways that are in contradiction to His commandments. IOW, about as “Christian” as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is “Democratic”: the self-selected name does not represent the actual reality.
Pretty much the only person who can throw $100M at a "fun" project that may never amount to anything more than a hobby is someone at the billionaire level.

Few hundred millionaires are passionate enough about something to spend their entire fortune on it.
This is indeed a standard response. But one issue is that courts do make exceptions for provably insane persons from being convicted of crimes. Nor do they punish accidental deaths as severely as intentional crimes.

When all actions are an outcome of environment(inherited or cultural), the non-trivial issue is to make a clear demarcation in different kinds of influence on a person who commits a crime.

A natural process which flows through conscious reasoning and motivation is different from a uncontrollable malfunction in the mind.
Funny. Wathammer 40000 actually sort of follows this logic in the atheist 30k era. The problem is the evil gods find a way to make themselves evident.
Doing it too late even though it is never too late :).
"Gods can't make a square circle, even if they're omnipotent?"

I'm not really seeing what this has to do with what you quoted about the existence of suffering.

Still, to go on that tangent about God being unable to make a square circle...

God's omnipotence (ie. being all-powerful) means they can do anything... even things that might appear contradictory to the puny human intellect.

And what seems contradictory to the puny human intellect and the entire universe being such that squares aren't circles are themselves supposedly due to God's will.. which could be otherwise.

So we could very well live in a world of square circles if God wished it so.

It might not make sense to us, but God is not limited to only doing what makes sense to us.
The effort it would have taken to try and get that money would have far surpassed what I was owed so I really didn't give a dog-diggety. I considered it payment for learning experience and moved on to better things
One can argue that a cargo ship is benefiting much more people than a spaceflight only enjoyed by the very rich.

The carbon footprint per capita is quite incomparable.
We did the same damn thing last time when we fought a shadow war there against the soviets. Many historians credit America's abandonment of our Mujahideen allies with the rise of both the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
The global middle class(about 2 billion people) can afford to fly in an airplane once in a while, something only the rich could do 100 years ago. That's worth appreciating. Technology has never advanced symmetrically for everyone and it likely never will. The only recent tech I can think of that reached everyone rich and poor alike near simultaneously is smart phones.
It isn't the instruction on the job that is important, it is the experience of actually doing things in anger
Im gonna go out on a limb and say that, yes, that is their objection. Does that surprise you, or do you find it objectionable? Why? Im legitimately curious.
I sympathize.

I worked in such a company, many years ago. The workload that was totally disconnected from reality, the humiliation and punishments, the scapegoating, the improvised demos based on products that were not expected to work. We also had to cope with a CEO who was... very imaginative when it came to facts and a CTO who didn't contribute much besides repeating to the CEO what the CEO wanted to hear.

When the entire team got laid off (to be replaced by other people, with less experience, to do the same job), it was actually a relief.

> NYT, WSJ, USA Today, etc have to realize that at $10 per month per paper, almost no one is going to pay for more than a single subscription

Plenty of people, offices and venues do. What's more likely, and the direction we've been heading for years, is we see a population that consumes paid journalism and the broader market that has ad-supported filler.
The most important advice: leave any job thats toxic. If you are a programmer you are fortunate enough to always be able to get a job, especially now with remote-only positions opening everywhere.

I did a job like this 20 years ago and consider this a bit of a rite of passage, but back then the job market where I lived was horrible.

Seriously: programmer && unhappy && leave();
Exactly! Not only ad supported sites, but advertisers themselves should be speaking out and fighting back against the abusive advertisers that created a need for adblockers in the first place, too! They did massive harm to their own industry. Instead of helping to fix the problem and calling out those who caused it, the war is turned against the very consumers they're trying to reach with their advertising.
If this government that has increased the cost of life seems to you to be left-leaning, it’s clear where you stand.
I've had trouble finding doctors who will even believe me when I come in with conclusive test results.

For one condition, I came in with clear lab tests showing I had brought all the relevant markers WELL within normal range by dietary and lifestyle changes, and my doctor insisted I should instead have increased the medication I had been able to wean off during the process.

She asked me, "Don't you think if diet and lifestyle change worked, we would recommend that to everybody?"

I replied, "Absolutely not. Not a single person in your industry benefits if everyone with this condition becomes healthy. No medications are needed. No surgeons are needed. Your whole career disappears. I think the entire industry that trains and forms you depends on people like me staying sick. If you can't at least question the incentives in your industry with a critical eye, I have no interest in any further advice from you."

Suffice it to say she doesn't work for me anymore.
Just owning a semi-decent house in the Valley affords you that.

Of course, many of those people don't really own the house, the bank does... and for many of them, their million dollar equity in their house exists only on paper.
The hurricane events described are only natural in this Universe; there is no reason that another Universe would have harmful natural events; assuming it is created to be perfect by God.
I assure you, I have anecdotes indicating that I am not. :-)
> Often, people expect to do whatever they want and then go to doctors to ‘fix’ them. It’s good for doctors, but not so great for you.

Hackernews doesn't realize they are the 0.000001% of patients we see. I'd love for all my patients to make the lifestyle, diet and habit changes I recommend in addition to the medications I prescribe. The reality is that users here do not recognize the privilege they have in terms of money, agency and knowledge. The vast majority of people I see are barely scraping by and have very little time/effort/privilege to make the changes I would like them to undergo.
> That rural market exists, but is quite small

Curious about your estimate on the market size here. How many potential customers are there, worldwide, in your estimation?
Good lord.

It's nonsensical to equate being shown an ad (even in this third party tracking day and age) with victimhood.

Histrionics aren't the answer.
> I want to pay $.10 to finish reading that one article, then $.10 to finish an article on USA today, then $.10 for something on Wall Street Journal

Investigative journalism is expensive. So out the door, articles would need to be differentially priced to avoid adverse selection. That's a new friction the newspaper would need to incur to provide this pricing. Add to that the cost of cannibalizing subscriptions and the volatility of non-recurring revenue and it's a deal only newspapers who couldn't otherwise get subscriptions would take.
I haven't tried this, but there is so much awesomeness in this idea. I wonder how many layers down one could pull off in the Nintendo line, even if you had to skip generations. For example could one do a Wii emulating GameCube emulating a SNES (skipping N64 as presumably too hard), emulating a NES.
The readme is quite light on details. What is the performance? What’s the snes emulator.. is it this as well? Could this run on the real thing given it sounds .exe driven?
> But America was fooled

Do you mean the government or the public?
That's why they warn you when you open Notes or Reminders and give you an opportunity to not upgrade so all your devices are compatible with each other.
As you can see from the map Macedon was partially occupying territory of the modern country Macedonia. But what is more important than arguing about Ancient Times is respecting the national identity of the people that live today. The history of the name is complicated and we don’t share the same views with the Greeks but that is not the reason to fight over a name. Everyone in the world knows Greece. And nobody thinks they can’t use or consider the name Macedonia part of their history. What is interesting is why majority of Greeks feel threatened of their neighbour’s self identity.
I remember collecting rubber bands from the postie as a child to make a rubber band ball. I remember most of them being brown. Sometimes our post comes bundled with a rubber band now. I don't think I've ever seen a red one.
I'm having a really hard time following the thesis here. Networks are beautiful, the word internet describes "the whole" system and describes it clearly. He also dislikes the terms "information super highway" and "the worldwide web". Why? He seems to want a name the doesn't include references to networks or graph themes.
It seems they no longer use them. I remember having to pick them up quite regularly so it’s no wonder they consumed so many.
Many startups are basically a group of people who already knew each other. When one of them is any kind of technical, that's the CTO. The others aren't and so they don't have a way to vet technical people even if they wanted to.

When a startup is the founders' first one, unless they are very experienced, you are looking at long odds even if the idea is great. The reason is, no business experience. Like not understanding that you only demo things you've already tried.
0G flights also exist in Europe: https://www.airzerog.com/ about 6k€ per person and it has a huge space available inside to float around and do stuff, it's an A310!
My understanding was Moore's law implied a form of doubling at at least every 24 months.

Otherwise why not just say {qualifier} exponential growth.

Virgin Galactic believes there is a market for tourism packages to space at $250,000 per seat.
I don't understand what you're trying to discourage, what you're saying doesn't follow. That has nothing to do with "the GNOME way" and is mostly related to the decisions made by Canonical, who decided to make their own desktop, and then dropped it in favor of GNOME. Asking the GNOME people to give up isn't going to make it viable for Ubuntu to develop their own desktop again that is more to your liking. Your issue is with them, not with GNOME. And according to them, you seem to have it exactly backwards: it was Unity that was not able to compete on merits, so it was dropped in favor of GNOME.

But anyway it sounds like you just fixed that by using a different distro, you can even just suggest the KDE or LXDE spins of Ubuntu. Those still exist, and it's not hard to use them. If you're already using them then it's very hard for me to see what your actual complaint is or what you're trying to discourage. It's true you're free to express what you want, but please consider that what you're expressing may not be something that was done with having the full information. I've noticed there is a lot of confusion about what GNOME is and a lot of people seem to mix it up and equate it with Ubuntu or Red Hat or something, which is understandable, but it's not true. I'm only here to explain why.

And just to make it painfully clear: it is already hard enough to maintain open source and fix all the issues and improve the quality of the current interfaces, without people constantly demanding that open source maintainers give up and stop fixing bugs. If you want to get things fixed, you really don't need to do this.
Any chance to see it open source for linux? Maybe some developers will join and make it really amazing. You still can earn some money with Windows version.
> I’m actually open to a creator of our simulation or our reality simply because it’s the best explanation we have right now.

This was my position as I was leaving Christianity. Now though I think it's more likely that matter and the laws of physics have just always existed, possibly an infinite amount or to an infinitely small scale. While that may seem difficult to comprehend I think it's much simpler than omnipotent turtles all the way down.
"Existence coming out of nothing is ridiculous. We really have no clue how we even got here. Maybe our existence could be proven scientifically down the line, but right now creation is actually the most feasible to my mind, strange enough."

But if God created the world then what created God? If you're ok with the answer that God always existed, why wouldn't you be ok with the universe always existing (thereby having no need for a creator God)?

To whom? Because I work with VST a lot, and that's sure news to me.
While I wasn't too surprised there was a Virgin promotional aspect to it I was surprised at the amount of cross marketing and cross promotion they were doing. There was at least:

1. NBC

2. Land Rover

3. Some new musical artist

4. A New Mexico tourism campaign

I just thought this all made it feel really cheap. It also seems bizarre that you would want to to debase your brand like this during your premiere event.
I know exactly why you’re being downvoted: most developers identify as the average experienced developer and can’t handle the fact that they can be outperformed by an extraordinary rookie (although such people usually have a lot of experience from working in their free time).
What's wrong with being entitled?

We're entitled to our entertainment. If we don't get it, we torrent it.
Agreed. It's a heatwave when this kind of weather (hot/dry, hot/normal, hot/humid) persists. Sometimes in combinations of these conditions.

Something that is a heat wave in one place might just be called 'weather' in another place. If New Delhi got our "regular winter weather", it would be called way more than a "cold spell", while 2 weeks of New Delhi weather here is called a heat wave.
> issue is Google ranking paywalled sites higher even though the same content is available elsewhere for free

It's almost like it's not the same content. Something breaking on the Times and then being summarized elsewhere are not interchangeable, which is why Google ranks its results as it does.
It's actually harder for Junior developers to just leave. Until you have 2-3 years experience under your belt, you're just not that attractive to employers; and your competition for those lower-level positions is fierce.

MLK Jr? Or maybe there’s more to the JFK story than I know…
I have anecdata to suggest that brains are like muscles. If you work them, they'll stay in good shape for longer.

Relative #1 started having "senior moments" a while back but then he got an engineering contract job. Once he was engaged with his life's work again, the "senior moments" went away and he was sharp as ever.

Relative #2 retired from work and just started puttering around the house, then went into a deep depression and is now in the early stages of dementia. Without a "life's work" or even a hobby she's passionate about to keep her mind engaged, her memory is in gradual but noticeable decline.
> Give us a universe where all the beings are powered by an infinite source of energy so they don't need to chase, catch, kill and eat each other.

> Problem solved; would have expected God could figure this out.

Why not go further? A universe that's entirely static populated by entities frozen in some joyous state has no evil. Hell, a universe that doesn't exist doesn't have evil either.

It's often pretty easy to optimize for one quality.
Our post is still delivered in rubber bands, but they're no longer red.
This seems like a biased review to me.

If I objectively look at this problem, there a three issues

1. How might you know it's violating

2. How might you remove "violating" content without violating free speech

3. How do you remove people from the equation.

For #1 and #2, the reviewer gives the example of Jan 6th riots, where individuals organized on FB and other platforms before the event and ended up rioting in DC. How do you know that the individuals wanted to riot before hand? The president himself called everyone to visit DC. What about BLM protesters who used social media platforms to organize in-person events, which ended up in riots and burning down shops. Should we pre-ban any gatherings? NYTimes is simply insuniating that FB should spy on people and curb their privacy, so things like Jan 6th won't happen.

For #3, I believe FB instituted oversight group for this purpose. It is 3rd party reviewers and their decision is binding. I am hoping more and more decisions are made by the group.

Either ways, there is no doubt that there is a contention between growth, free speech and violating content.
With Apple doing the bundling, the content will only be available in the Apple News app, which is Mac and iOS only.

Even worse, the Mac app does not let you print or even select text. It's taking web content and making it as un-web like as it can. I can't even share the article to Pocket!

I subscribe to the NYT and Globe & Mail. I print articles I want to read to PDF (or save as a SingleHTML file) and have them auto-synced to my tablet. This gives me a permanent copy of the article that supports annotation.

I'm never going to go the bundling route.
I've seen at least one CEO going through several CTOs until he found one who would say "yes" to everything and make the proper impressed noises when the CEO showed their latest iDevice. Needless to say, that wasn't ideal.
> It would be very, very easy for all of the content distributors to band together into some sort of... 'union', that would help them strong-arm the owners and push back the incoherent decisions made by them.

I think when competing firms form a 'union' like this it's called collusion.
I edited my post while you were replying—I do know some individuals who have a couple of subscriptions, but not more than that unless it's for professional reasons. Businesses are a different story, and they should be charged accordingly.
Very cool and something that has been in demand for many years. Ideally this would be bundled into the SD2SNES firmware so you could load NES roms onto the SNES. https://sd2snes.de (it’s open source as well)

Every experienced C-level I've worked with will rehearse investor demos with greenfield software. The only time they don't is when they're giving the investor the same demo they've given prospective customers dozens of times before. Some will even ask "What should I avoid?"
Is that depressing? That would be a phenomenal achievement
Eye-rollingly obnoxious? I've literally heard native Indonesians refer to their language as just "bahasa", though admittedly those same speakers told me off for doing it myself. So whilst I agree "bahasa" has a commonly incorrect usage I don't think it is due to the typical "White Ignorance". I mean at least the author actually went to the effort of learning a non-European language right?

It's like "literally" in English has _changed_ its meaning. Yeah of course it originally meant non-figuratively, but it is clear to all that value language as a medium of communication (rather than a measure of intellectual status) that it now has another meaning as an intensifier.
The volume of rubber bands used is equivalent to 1500 Escobars, another prolific rubber band user. Strangely Pablo did not get as much criticism and complaints about his excessive usage.
