Ask HN: Blog with Sorting by Reader Ratings?
I'd like to create a blog where core is a list of my writings sorted by importance I've assigned each post. Secondarily, I'd like it to be sortable by user ratings. Tertiarily, if there was an easy way to make it sortable by tags that would be ideal

This probably sounds trivial but I'm looking for some way to make this without having to code too much, or at least something where I can copy/paste code

Am alright paying for something if it works well, appreciate any suggestions
We were SOL when Amazon simple payments was killed off with very short notice and then again with FlexPay.
Right. So you just belive that you are way smarter about this than over 2 billion people and their doctors. Way more plausible. Have your wonderful source of insight prevent you from consuming any sugar ever from the start? /s

Somebody lied to you so now you won't believe anyone else about anything else ever?
The point is that the stock value remains in the same place because they distribute part of their earnings to shareholders. On the day of a dividend, the stock gets discounted by the amount of the dividend. So if you pay out a large dividend and the share price is static over the long term, that’s actually quite good for investors.

(In other words, your earlier comment about bloodsucking profiteers misses the mark a little bit.)
Calling a meeting with members of the oversight board a "raid" seems a bit extreme. The description makes it sound more like they organized their denial than ransacked the place for evidence.
I have my doubts that this is true among several axes: 1) do more people really travel by car? 2) how could air travel not be highly seasonal when school breaks generally line up? Hotels are certainly priced like it's seasonal. Don't they already have that problem? 3) If the scenario we were talking about became more commonplace, wouldn't we expect capacity to increase to meet demand?
Maybe? Sometimes? But the article seems to imply a very high level of control over the tasks & projects that come your way.

In reality, I (and probably a lot of people) don't have that choice. I end up looking like a hero when I can deliver quickly on a "hard" easy thing, and look like I'm slacking off when an "easy" hard thing comes my way. Fortunately I have had bosses who listen when I explain the difficulties of a project, but they still get frustrated on occasion when an ostensibly simply task snowballs into something massive more complex once you dig into the details.
Google and Facebook to require vaccines for in-office employees
He was such a criminal mastermind he managed to frame the casino for its own bombing.
>...that sounds like a much better breeding ground for continued spread and mutation...

Actually, that's already been studied. The virus mutates far less in breakthrough infections among vaccinated individuals than in infected individuals.

COVID-19 vaccines dampen genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2: Unvaccinated patients exhibit more antigenic mutational variance:

Disagree strongly on this. I cook fantastic over-easy egg on my cast iron skillet.

These people are wrong (and were likely misled by bad internet articles. I know I was about 15 years ago)
Reddit was just a bellwether. Honest and curious discussion no longer exists. You either repeat party lines or are labeled a deplorable and should be banned from society.

That is what I believe you believe and I understand where it is coming from. I've managed juniors and I know they make mistakes.

That said, if a junior brings up a question like "why does this error for some tests, but not others?"

records = some_orm_thing()
some_model_ids, other_ids = map(list, zip(*records))

The answer is obvious. Some tests return no records for the ORM thing and that doesn't unpack. If you ask this type of question it makes you look bad. I'm not saying it's the end of the world or anything, but we should at least be realistic about how juniors are treated. A private, friendly slack message is much less likely to get them fired than a post in a channel or pull request.
> serves only to perpetuate the myth of "sweet paint chips".

I wasn’t aware of it being a myth and there are reference to sweet lead paint every time I read about lead.

I believe it was in the white paint and an older painter has assured me it gives an excellent finish that lasts well without yellowing.

It seems the Romans even used it as a sweetener.

Why do you think it isn’t sweet and lead acetate wasn’t in paint?

My cast-iron is perfectly non-stick (for eggs too) given I don't raise the temperature too much. In my experience, given enough heat, food will fuse to anything. If your food is sticking try cooking for longer at lower temps.

Of course sometimes you want the extra heat, like when you're searing a steak. In that case, to clean up I'll bring some water to a simmer and gently scrape the pan with my steel spatula. Then I pour the water out and dry/season. This seems more effective than soap/scrubbing and seems to better preserve the seasoning.

Often though, I won't even need to use water or the steel spatula. It's sufficient to bring the skillet to high heat and let the stuck food burn off, but this can sometimes cause air quality issues, so be sure to have a well-ventilated space.
Whether it is reasonable depends on how much more likely a drunk or unvaccinated person is likely to hurt people. We have good numbers on drunks. We do not yet have good numbers on unvaccinated people.

Also, you may not have heard it, but I heard all over the place from "experts" that vaccinated people would not spread the virus.
Pff, I pay €40/month for my 1Gbit/s FttH Tweak connection. You’re painting a very bleak picture, but NL internet isn’t that bad unless you only have an old ADSL-style phone line, and that is rare nowadays.
Six months ago I left the following comment about this.

> I miss EC2 Classic :/. It always feels like the entire world of VPCs must have come from the armies of network engineers who felt like if the world didn't support all of the complexity they had designed to fix a problem EC2 no longer had--the tyranny of cables and hubs and devices acting as routers--that maybe they would be out of a job or something, and so rather than design hierarchical security groups Amazon just brought back in every feature of network administration I had been happily prepared to never have to think about ever[] again :(.

There were some responses:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25988915

Honestly and likely overly-frankly, I have absolutely nothing positive to say about VPC or any of the engineers who worked on or with it: it seems like it is uninspired and creates complexity out of whole cloth with absolutely no benefits I have ever heard of to redeem its existence. For a long time, instances could not have multiple security groups, which limited the mechanism... but that was fixed long ago; security groups should simply have been made hierarchical instead of forcing everyone to think about network layout and address space limitations as part of manually laid-out networking in what should be a purely cloud resource capable of infinite extension... all of that networking equipment and subnet numbering exists in the real world to solve problems virtual hardware does not and should not have. EC2 Classic was "fun" to work with and yet had no limits... VPC is "work" and offers nothing in return.
But the same class of device that currently provides NAT to the end user could just as easily provide a default-deny firewall. It's not as though it's easier for Netgear to implement NAT than a basic firewall.

I'm not even sure it's nimbysm. There's simply no room for new SFH neighborhoods in reasonable proximity to city centers where the jobs are. New construction is still happening, but it's big RE firms buy out small businesses and replace them with dense apartment complexes for rent. The thing is, people who are going to live in those hives will have no housing to buy, no matter how much they save.
> "They could've built their own rust-like language"

They tried. Windows Longhorn was to be "entirely" managed code in the early 2000s, by 2004 they walked that back because vendors didn't want to rewrite their software for managed code and there were too many performance issues. Then they scrapped Longhorn altogether. As a research project they built: "Midori is an operating system that did not use Windows or Linux. Was written in C#. Took 7 years to build and included device drivers, web servers, libraries, compilers and garbage collection.". From what I know, they tried harder than Apple+macOS or anyone+Linux kernel and couldn't do it. To then casually say "they could've" is not so convincing. Especially if in this "you're responsible for bugs" world they would have had to have Proto-Rust production ready around the time of Windows NT in 1993 or so.

> "That we've mostly settled for constant security updates upon exploit discovery in the wild and blindly assuming super old code is safe (until it isn't) seems like a failure to act (a failure of incentives?) and not a necessity."

The blogpost I link below[1] was written in 2004, and he says "I truly believe that the patching fad in which we are currently living is not going to last much longer. It can't. In another couple years, we'll have one full-time patcher to each system administrator. What's odd is that if companies simply exercised a bit of discipline, it wouldn't be necessary at all. Back in 1996 a buddy of mine and I set up a web server for a high-traffic significant target. It was not the Whitehouse; it was a porn site. We invested 8 hours (of our customer's money) writing a small web server daemon that knew how to serve up files, cache them, and virtualize filenames behind hashes. It ran chrooted on a version of UNIX that was very minimized and had code hacked right into the IP stack to toss traffic that was not TCP aimed at port 80. 10 years later, it's still working, has never been hacked, and has never been patched. If you compute the Return On Investment (Or ROI in the language of Prince Ciao) it's gigantic."

And yet the patching fad has got hugely worse since then, and all the factors he complains about - CEOs buying from salespeople, desire for customisability and flashiness - are all still driving the industry hard.

You are correct with your concern.

Start with local LLC.

Clerky do not tell you , but CPA for a C corp is around 500-1000$ annually, registered agent is around 150$, and Delaware would require you to pay franchise task of min 350$.

Also if you have to Delaware C corp you would need to pay foreign company taxes locally (in CO).
I’m sure you already know, but can you restrict it to changes from one or more directories to avoid that, worst case scenario it’ll point you to the general change even if it was due to another repo necessitating the migration.
This is exactly right. I really like the Cortex-M4 line as they have lots of peripherals, flash, and some have DDR controllers that will drive megabytes of RAM. On a cycle by cycle basis they are roughly 10x the performance of an Intel 80286, the chip in the PC/AT.
This is the kind of confused weak thinking that causes new infections to rise at 150%

Of course vaccination radically reduces the ability of the vaccinated to spread Covid, 90% of them never get it. Sure of the other 10% that might get it some do and wow they can spread it. By the time you get past the IFs vaccination is astoundingly successful but the more vaccinated that are exposed to the unvaccinated the more of those 10% WILL get infected. This seems crystal clear to me and actually I'm surprised at how low the rate of "breakthrough" cases are (I think I heard < 1% but fact check).
Glad there’s someone else pedantic here so I don’t have to do it…
I’ve had first-hand experience confirming this and another field. Sometime in my 20 years of artistic glassblowing, I believed that people where to find it moderately impressive if I made intermediate level work very solidly with a flourish. I thought this was an alternative to making work that was more overtly at a higher skill level, and a better choice than making less solid work reaching above my skill level. It turns out that as the article states, working on anything cutting edge, especially ambitious publicized projects, would have been much better for gaining notoriety.

> When we were working on our own startup, back in the 90s, I evolved another trick for partitioning the day. I used to program from dinner till about 3 am every day, because at night no one could interrupt me. Then I'd sleep till about 11 am, and come in and work until dinner on what I called "business stuff." I never thought of it in these terms, but in effect I had two workdays each day, one on the manager's schedule and one on the maker's.

Co-incidentally I found myself working this same schedule at my first full-time job in the 90s. The 11am slipped into mid-afternoon and there was a period where an all-hands/devs meeting (I think it was for deciding the release details of our shrink-wrap physically shipped software) was set for 6pm to be certain I'd be present. It certainly was productive. Sometimes I'd have a vague idea in the afternoon and have a prototype running demos the next day that became a shipping feature within a week.
The distortions while falling asleep is sleep paralysis. There's nothing weird about this.

Every once in a while, i'll have this and there's an entity in my room. Once, everything in my room flew and the world 'cracked'. It's just a waking dream. Wiggle your toes, and things will go back to normal. Toes still work when the delusion sets in because it takes time for the hormone that causes bodily paralysis to get to your toes, and when the brain notices you moving your body, it wakes back up.
> But then again it does require people to have a unique bitlocker PW, and if they ever forget it, everything on the machine is gone for good. (Which I've actually been bitten by, oops!)

I am not sure if it was the same system, but at a company I worked for we also had a boot password for bitlocker. People would sometimes forget it or bitlocker would somehow corrupt itself. IT was usually able to fix it though. I believe they were able to print out some kind of longer master password that could be used to unlock the machine.
> That's a little more forceful

Yes, it's very much intentional. I've grown tied if being nice and trying to have thoughtful conversations with naysayers who have no interest in honest discussion.

> All the components you listed scale down in turn

But don't go away altogether, which is my point. There is a space cost to be paid in any PHEV that is significant, both in absolute volume terms as well as prime placement. The engine occupies extremely valuable real estate. In a pure EV that's space you can move the cab forward for more legroom or cargo space (or just make the car's overall footprint smaller).

> Affordable PHEVs based on current designs

What affordable PHEVs are there? They still command a price premium over the ICE version. Here in Canada Kia Niro hybrid is $27K, PHEV is 34.5K and BEV is $45K.

PHEVs also vary wildly in carbon reduction based on owner action. If the owner plugs in each day consistently they are great. Unfortunately, in the EU PHEVs have turned into tax shelters and studies have shown most drivers never plug them in, resulting in more emissions than if they had just bought the regular hybrid.

5 years ago PHEVs were a great solution while batteries were very expensive, but their window of value is rapidly closing and will be gone once batteries hit $100/kWh in likely mid 2023. I certainly wouldn't spend money on a new one now knowing that inflection point is coming so soon. Used Gen2 Volt is one of the great deals to be had in cars at the moment, but new PHEVs just don't make sense to me.
A company where I used to work still had those as of early 2020. The reason was technical debt, system being treated as a "black box" since the people who built it left many years ago, etc.

In addition, that product didn't exactly make big bucks for the company so there was not much incentive to improve things.
I was snorkeling Sunday, it was a beautiful morning with clear sky, I come back to beach after around 20 minutes in water to a shocking scene that a few life guards are doing CPR on a unresponsive man(or maybe an teenager);

I understand French. I looked through the document. I could not find any place where Coriolis derived kinetic energy. He was apparently using someone else's derivation.

By simple substitution, anyone can easily derive E = mv² from Newtonian equations. One starts with W = Fd = mad, and go from there. There is no need to integrate the difference in initial and final velocities (as is currently being done) because this is already assumed in the definition of acceleration. The 1/2 is a mistake and I stand by it.

I agree with you. I've worked in healthcare and I can attest to that. It is hard to make people do things. Beyond the differences in people's ideology about the vaccine, adherence is a great problem in healthcare.
Not the OP, but no. Those are concepts that are important that need to be understood through experience and applied judiciously wherever they help (which is lots of places) but never by rote and not where an alternate approach is better.

That's quite distinct from design patterns, which are usually taken as gospel that needs to be followed for its own sake.

My karate sensei used to say that while all kyu ranks must follow the katas with extreme precision, the higher dan blackbelts have absorbed the knowledge and can ignore and innovate.

In that sense design patterns are like katas. Training wheels, but not an end-goal.

Fiction holds people's attention in ways that non-fiction isn't always able to, and that's true more for some people than for others, but works designed specifically to entertain tend to have wider appeal than works designed primarily to inform. Journalists have increasingly tried to present information as entertainment often at the expense of their own message and integrity. I'm not sure more infotainment is the solution.
