I love this as an idea, but I suspect as a user, I would use either zero or one posts.

I do like the idea that the platform can actively disrupt the "addictive" patterns that develop elsewhere. Other things I've wanted:

- Instagram with an ML layer that auto-rejects pics with faces or text. Landscapes, vistas, animals, architecture etc all would be welcome.

- high latency Twitter, where no post is viewable until at least 2 weeks after it's published. Bickering threads become impractical. People learn to post stuff that will be worth caring about later.

- Clearly just for entertainment and not information Facebook alternative, in which GPT bots produce a significant fraction of posts, impersonating users and making stuff up. Everyone quickly learns you can't trust it, but it can still be cute/fun/humorous.
Electricity demand peaks during the day and drops off at night, just like solar.

The demand peak tends to be later in the afternoon than the noon-time peak of solar, but 4-hour batteries would cover that.

Exactly my thoughts.

When you have decided to resist, there are many ways to do this, without obviously disobeying the law.

They whole marketing spiel has been debunked in one fell swoop with this case.
>Also, you can do toggle mute via hotkey (which we have a draft for at https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/2280), but this is surely a bonus feature.

It's an absolute must have for gaming. Near useless without it. I suspect some of the other features that are 'almost there' in fact are deal breakers in some use cases.
You sound angry, maybe you should see a therapist.
Interesting given their design criteria is no nulls and no syntactic sugar.
Arbitrary code execution in an on-premise server? You can basically stage an attack on any other internal resources (core infrastructure, databases, endpoints) that are visible from there, with the benefit of already being behind at least one layer of firewall/security.
Because fossil fuels are much more convenient, reliable and efficient. If there is no wind and or no sun you have no power, so now you have to invest in expensive batteries to bridge meteorologic conditions.

Compare an EV and a petrol one. If you want to go from Lisbon to Vladivostok, this will be a breeze with a petrol car and a headache with an EV (I'm not sure it's even possible, good luck charging it fast in the deepest parts of Russia).
I still don't think I want those in the repo history, and (for a public repo) this opens up a security hole, letting arbitrary people write directly to code files. I'm not familiar at all with Fossil; perhaps its design makes this possible in a way that doesn't work so well with Git.
There's a bit of a chicken-and-egg thing going on here, though. As a close-by comment noted, there are signs of a convergence of thinking towards "cross-platform means Electron", when this is not actually the case (or is not required to be the case).

To the extent that this is true, it acts as disincentive for people wanting to pursue non-web-dev pathways in their careers, which then further limits the availability of such developers, which then further "confirms" the "cross platform is Electron" idea.

Developing with Qt is (I am told [0]) not much harder than typical web equivalents, but it is different. The result is generally more performant, both in terms of UI and also data handling/computation.

[0] I personally work with GTK, not Qt; Qt goes much further with hand-holding developer helpers than GTK does.
Hello HN,

I’ve been working on a social task management app called Plocs (http://plocs.com).
Plocs supports task dependencies, subtasks and sharing and discussing tasks with your friends.
I would love to hear your feedback!
This is exactly what I had in mind. I'll stick with it and add a catch exception.

Thanks for your feedback!
I think this is still bad, because it heavily encourages people to post stuff that others will respond to, which isn't necessarily what's honest, authentic, valuable, etc.
You need to think bigger. How could Protonmail make the world a better place in this regard? Promote Tor to users through its blog? Report on Tor usage stats? Enable account creation through Tor without requiring a cell phone?

All of the above and more.
yes, the state machine can be complex, but there's no excuse for throwing away the state that represents everything the user has gone to the trouble to enter in, that is not complex and should be preserved.
I am assuming they want to provide a hosted service just like Discord at some point.

We did eventually add support for encrypted native key files, despite my skepticism around what threat models it actually addresses. You can now pass to “age -d -i” a file encrypted with “age -p”.

Not having a default keychain location though is a deliberate decision that’s here to stay. age keys are application-specific keys, not universal personal identities. We want to avoid implicit state and make rotation and compartmentalization as easy as possible.
>I'd wait forever

The biggest hires, like Microsoft, Amazon, etc - are fine with this. The core of the problem is companies become Uber corportizized, entirely separating employment from the work being done. Where HR are filtering resumes based on criteria they learned in university that applies to traditional jobs like accounting. Big corporate works despite inefficiency, due to economy of scale and control. Therefore they will wait and wait, and if they can't find a "senior full stack programmer 20 years in rust", then no matter - they'll just up the work on current devs and ultimately let the project fail because they can.
Is TFA 'the fucking article'?
Maybe replacing income taxes largely with property taxes? If the home is not seen as a source of tax free imputed income, then other things become more attractive, like investing in startups. It’s not a crazy idea. Switzerland taxes the imputed rental income on your own home.

It is absolutely true:

I lived there. I believed the 'environmentalists' when they said that SONGS would be replaced by renewables. I am not falling for it again.
I absolutely disagree with this. Engineers are perfectly capable of walking through a problem with a candidate and almost immediately measuring their ability in how they approach it. In fact, I would argue that engineers are the most qualified to assess a candidates engineering ability.

If the contention is that Leetcode measures the bare minimum, the lowest bar, the 100-course material, then what does that say about the people who are being hired? An interview should be far more nuanced and compassionate than that.
You’re paying 50 per year? Judging by the amount of complaining in this and the other thread I would have guessed you must be paying at least a few thousands per month and/or were are one or more of a) an activist from Afghanistan b) a whistleblower from the US c) a human rights activist from China.

With customers like these who needs enemies.
> Have you read Kropotkin? Bakunin?

Actually, yes. Lenin, Trotsky, Lenin and Mao too.

You try to explain the consequences of communism with "few bad apples"; well, at least it's not a "no true scottsman", I have to give credit for that. However, there have been so many cases of leftists coming to power and building a state, and the only one I know that didn't end is tragedy was Israel — and even it resulted in financial crisis and eventual move to capitalism.

Of course, it's opportunists and sociopaths who come to power. You're absolutely right about that. But it would be silly to explain all these outcomes as fault of particular individuals, even if they are at fault. It's the principles behind the system itself, which make it vulnerable to this kind of attack.

Essentially, the problem is with this: every kind of leftism makes moral behaviour nor a matter of personal choice and responsibility, but something mandated by the state or a quasi-state organisation. This sounds very good in theory, especially for the people who are sensitive to the wrongs of the world. But in practice, it makes those organisations infallible and creates in their place a perfect vessel for said opportunists and sociopaths.

State power is like The Ring from LOTR. It's very seductive to use it for good, but absolute power corrupts absolutely. It should be not used, but destroyed.

It was not GWT. I worked on it from 2004 (months before launch) to the first couple of years as a live service. It was Java servlets, generating HTML and JavaScript, using some kind of templating system that was in place when I started, taking over from the previous front-end guy.

There was no translating Java to Javascript, which is GWT's thing. In fact there was not that much Javascript involved in the early site, it was generated HTML with a smattering of JavaScript. The goal initially was to look like Google search as much as possible and capitalize on the users familiarity with that.

Well, not more. Sending a comment takes you down to zero, you're done. Unless that person likes your comment. Popular posts or number of likes per comment would be irrelevant. The idea I guess is to allow and even encourage a friendly back and forth without burning all your credits.

Example.
A -I released this tool!

B - Wow nice how long did that take

A - Thanks, 6 months.

At this point, the conversation is done unless both like each other's comment, which in such an exchange would be encouraged.

If C comes along and says 'this tool sucks', even if 50 people like it, if A doesn't, C is done commenting for the day.

In fairness, I haven't really thought the whole thing out in detail, just some rough ideas. I appreciate pointing out challenges and dislikes with it though.
That isn't necessarily a negative
The key point is that any country could make a request through Interpol or the Europol. Proton mail bragged about their great fortune to be under Swiss law but it turns out it's subject to the lowest common denominator, a request through Interpol or Europol. What if Poland starts wanting to find out who whistleblowers are who have protonmail email addresses? Or China inevitably wants to unmask some democratic leader from Hong Kong?
The flash has never been touched right? Aren’t they functionally ‘new’?
Also working on a Discord alternative, albeit my project is a decentralized version — neat to see the space has traction. One thing I couldn’t quickly surmise: it looks like your services are centralized and neither servers/spaces (whatever terminology you’re using for logical groupings of communities) nor DMs have support for encryption. Do you have plans to support this? I don’t mean to ask this as a FUD spreader, I just am curious how you differentiate from Discord aside from being open source, and similarly, how you intend to ensure your offering stays open source in perpetuity?

Discord doesn't do E2E encryption, although those numbers for Signal and Whatsapp are pretty impressive.
It's also frustrating for job mobility, as you need to move jobs (or at least have offers) to get employers to pay your market rate. But in order to get offers you need to basically start a part time job studying and interviewing. If you just interview with a company you want to work for with no competing offers you will get lowballed - you might also just get rejected because companies prefer high-false positive rates and most interviewers do not get any sort of continual training, feedback, calibration or standardization. It's also unfortunately standard that your compensation doesn't keep up with your market value as companies would rather hire-in than promote internally.
The DoD has a public encryption wizard (https://spi.dod.mil/ewizard_govt.htm). It requires Java and it just reached EOL though.
If you provide a tool that let's managers easily and arbitrarily increase the requirements on their employees, over time they'll continue to do so, because it's a management tool and their job is to manage.

I experienced this phenomenon when I was a designer / CNC programmer. We had a form for requesting a part to be designed and machined. It had a box for tolerance allowance, where the person requesting a part could specify how tight all the tolerances should be, and we had recently added in 0.0005 inches to the options, at the request of a customer. I left for a month to do training at another location and came back to find a ridiculously long backlog of work. The manager who'd stepped in for me had decided that tighter tolerances would make better products, so was selecting 0.0005" tolerance for every feature on every part.

To make up for how ridiculously slow that made the machining process, he tried to micro-optimize work flows, readjust hours, push machine operators to "work harder". He wasn't a bad person, was an okay manager, we'd just given him the option of doing something stupid, and he'd done it then tried to use his managing skills to make it work.

If you give someone the tool to do their job, make sure that misusing it feels hard.
Oversimplification is.

Essentially asking how much X do we need then not minimizing X is not answering the question. 10^100 kWh of storage would work, but so would 10^99 kWh, 10^98 ... we care about the minimum not simply any number that’s sufficient.

texlab (the latex lsp server) also does build and forward search (although there's a small bug at the moment)

Unless that engineer gets them to write some code in that 15 minutes, you're fundamentally wrong.

An hours long leetcode assessment is not the answer, but you need the candidate to have provide proof that they can actually code, and "having a chat about it" doesn't prove it.

You need them to write some code AND have a chat about stuff.

I didn't say it was simple, I'm sure it's a complex problem. But maybe not disproportionately difficult to model if you can handle the complexity. That's why I gave the benefit of the doubt to the software engineers.

IME Most people can't handle complexity in their own fields of work, whether it comes to tax accountants making mistakes on my tax return that I caught later; or real estate agents telling me my queen-sized bed won't fit in the apartment, when I already knew from analyzing the floorplan that it would, and I was correct when we measured the room; or international flight attendants overcharging me because they can't do currency conversions properly. I've worked in the software industry including FAANG and dealt with a wide range of people, some of whom I've had to explain basic problem solving concepts or do things for them that they should have done themselves.

Believe me, I'm at the stage of my life where I've tried a lot of things, succeeded at some, and failed at others. I've lived in different cities in different countries. More importantly, having been exposed to a wide range of people, I am less inclined to overestimate most people's ability to do things.

Is that arrogant? Maybe. But I started out assuming that everyone has some latent untapped talent/creativity/curiosity/potential and over the years I'm less inclined to give people so much benefit of the doubt.

Good PR job! Instead of saying "okay we remove "by default" from our marketing materials because yeah if LE ask us to start logging, we gladly do whatever the case against someone is, i.e. jaywalking", they simply post a fake outrage in hope to minimize people leaving them.

Seriously at this point it looks like Google legal arm is better at trying to fight subpoenas against you and force LE to show serious crimes, than Proton is.
You are proving exactly why we need a standardized way to judge whether a candidate is hirable. All the candidates I see have almost zero history of contributing to OSS or maintaining side projects. Their work history usually consists of some run of the mill experience.

I have to rely on that and absolutely do not expect them to have a green GitHub. I would hate for that to become the norm.

That is why we need to ascertain coding signal. And that is why we need some contrived problem to provide to ascertain within a reasonable amount of time whether a candidate is a yes/no.

You are a unique data point and hundreds and thousands of other developers just don't have that kind of clout (I didn't look through your resume thing).

Also, from a hiring perspective, it's not scalable going through a candidates repos and verifying their worthiness. However, it is fun to talk about them during interviews.
Or cut'n'paste ascii armored PGP data in any web mail. It's not very convenient, though.

What about the people who don't do actual work, but have a decent CV and a good story about how they do?
