baseless gum pumping:

curiosity: when you perceive a gap in your knowledge that has no immediate need to be resolved how much effort do you put in to filling the gap. how burning is your desire to verify all possible logical links that may exist with the only reward being that verfication.

trait vs task curiosity sounds more like the impact of other dimensions, e.g. prioritisation focus and self perception regarding productivity.

My guess is that the more productive nature of task curiosity is just the person being tested having well practiced "i dont need to worry about that" routines.

It would also be very hard to gauge the impact of wider experience.. i can be a horrendous time waster with curiosity, however i also have a wide range of random knowledge that keeps me on track in un-expected ways. e.g. remembering that i let something slide previously and it worked out ok. I actually would not be surprised to find an overlap between those perceived to have task specific curiosity and those perceived to trust the wider systems they operate within (with those perceivesd to have general curiosity less trusting of wider systems)
> You just plug in the data (..)

Here in the Netherlands I don't have to plug in any data, everything is pre-filled. Income, bank accounts, mortgage, advances on deductions, etc. All you have to do is verify it (you can change things if necessary, but I've never had to do that). Takes about five minutes max.
That's how disinformation works. You've dramatized the situation by making the title far more dire than the real one, and then left it there when it was pointed out. It should be deleted whether it was an "accident" or not.

Nice. Shame the automatic changelog doesn't include commits that didn't go in via PR though. (Not possible to exclude locally rebased or squashed PRs I suppose, but all straight merges and anything done via GH UI surely covers most usage.)
Out of interest, why didn't you agree over email to switch to Telegram/Signal/Skype/Snapchat Video and have the call immediately?
That's what makes it ironic. Because had the person(s) lobbing the insult followed their org chart to the very top, would find Elon Musk, a person who literally came from "Africa".

Imagine if some middle manager at the Toyota plant in Indiana was racist towards an Asian American shift worker, telling them to "go back to Japan!" It's that level of unimaginable stupidity. While I don't question the veracity of the claims, it's genuinely difficult for me to believe that that kind of cartoonish racism still exists, especially in California.
Up to a point. They may be used to create direct debit subscriptions (you just need account details and name), which can be annoying.
Show HN: Pg_net – make async network requests from Postgres
Author here. You're probably already aware of this, but you can convert the `perf record` format to a format Clang understands: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#using-sampling-...

I expect the problem is somewhat political; profiler and compiler teams release different features, at different frequencies and don't want to be tied together.
In Finland, the best subtitles were and still are made at YLE (our BBC). That's because they directly employ have their own translators. Everywhere else (other networks, streaming services, home media) the quality has been going down for the last few decades, as all translations are outsourced. The cost has been pushed as low as possible. I've read subtitlers complaining about thight schedules and low pay, forcing you to spend less than a minute on average per sentence.

Netflix nowadays seems a bit better than competition though – maybe not that surprising when thinking about their budget vs some small ad-driven TV channel.

Shipping untested , undocumented code is pretty easy.

Sure, but shipping untested, undocumented code in 3 days that is bug free, fast, rock solid and does everything it's supposed to do on the first try, takes a certain sort of talent. They might make very annoying colleagues, and the people who have to follow them might curse their names, but they're not "bad programmers".
The other option for them would be not to talk to GP at all.

> I want HN to be a place where experts critique ideas

I was critiquing your world view that _everyone_ must at all times go really deep into software so that everything can fit inside 4mbit of flash.

I was also also critiquing your strongly held opinion that simply because a microprocessor has low power states, it doesn't mean that its quick, easy or indeed achievable to render a nice calendar entirely onboard. (it is of course possible, but I know it would take me a lot of time and be no fun.)

Perhaps the goal of the project was to get something that looked nice in a time frame that was reasonable. Perhaps the goal was not to spend time learning how to do antialiasing, font handling, calendar parsing in a power constrained environment.

The joy of the internet is that they have shared their work, now you can build on it and make a good looking eink calendar that's battery powered on some tiny ARM SoC with 4kb of ram.

Whilst you're at it, I propose that you go out of your comfort zone and remake this https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/stock-ticker-machin... to make it purely electro mechanical. it can't be that hard.
It wouldn’t be worth it from the employees perspective, they will struggle to get another job after this.

Maybe.

How much would you bet against open source projects like Ardupilot having their code swiped and used by defence contractors or weapons manufacturers.

What are the GPL requirements for making the source available to people targeted by drones running stolen GPL code?
Maybe it has improved in the last six years, but setting up PayPal for an eCommerce site was an absolute nightmare. It could only be done by the CEO of the company, legally, and you needed a PayPal representative on the phone, guiding you through setting up the account correctly.

Just sign up for a regular payment processor, if you're in Scandinavia. The larger ones will also support iDEAL, SoFORT and other local options and help you get started with those.
On your single point of failure. That might be true, but certainly isn't these days.

Networks have grown so large and complex that the only reasonable way of managing them is through SDN, and a small mistake in configuration might results in a cascading effect on the whole infrastructure.

That's also true for the entire (western) internet.
We've ended up with a centralized market where a few key players, e.g. cloud providers/CDNs/DNS (Amazon/Google/Microsoft/Akamai/Fastly/Cloudflare) can easily break large parts of the internet. See Akamai outage in July.
As a non-American, this does strike me as odd. Probably Mr. Diaz wasn't the only person who has experience abuse and racist harassment yet he is the only one getting a sky-high payday. What about everyone else who probably has to put up with the same abuse?
No, they really couldn't. Even actual social justice activism communities that literally see their goal as advocating for minorities and fighting racism can't seem to just get the house straight to the point they eliminate this kind of thing entirely.
Remember the Sony Mavica line of digital cameras?
Good point.

The company does have a fairly young, highly-paid, workforce.

I assumed the user base.
Shouldn't take long once they are up and responding again?
Dunno for sure. I think that they can. The anticorrelation is rather small, after all. So some people with high trait will occasionally have high state curiosity, of course.

I suspect that some people really like to think of themselves as curious such that feeling that way is a part of their identity. They consider themselves to be generally curious about everything. However, there are almost an infinite number of things you could be curious about. It seems unlikely that even a high trait curiosity person is really curious about everything.

If I construct several curiosity experiments with tasks asking about 1) math and logic problems, 2) fashion in late 15th Century Venice, 3) the mating habits of honeybees, and 4) political conflicts in the Han Dynasty, how many self-reported high curiosity people do you expect would rate all of those tasks with high degrees of curiosity? I suspect not all or even many.

Still, I don't think this means that high trait curiosity doesn't exist [edit: s/exists/doesn't exist/]. I just think it's not a good predictor of curiosity in the task or specific performance, among other things.
Thank you a lot for doing so! <3
What about all the car accidents that weren’t my fault I’ve apparently been involved with (yet apparently caused me total amnesia of the event)?
PayPal is used because of customer protection.

Revolut is used because they hide their low forex exchange fees (despite their claims of nearly no fees, you'll find cheaper transfers elsewhere).

Venmo may be convenient in the States. I've never seen anyone in Europe using it. Banks have some system to send money to a phone number, though, which serves the same purpose.
Agree. My niece and many of her friends were arrested in Minneapolis MN (USA) last spring for protesting against police violence.
Hi HN,

Too many times in my life I always thought to myself.. man I wish I could just create some simple learning content for my friends/peers/coworkers, and I didn't want to send over just a pdf. I've always liked the idea of LMS systems but wished consumers had access to similar systems.

So I thought I'd create a platform that would help me with my problem and Odyssey was born. Odyssey is a web-app that lets you create fun learning content simply. It gives anyone the ability to create learning content whenever they need it. For example, I recently created a piece of learning content titled "How to get started with investing" for my friends.

The product is definitely in its infancy and I'm looking for any and all feedback!
I'm unconvinced by this article in general. First, I don't really beleive you can become more curious or more smart so the choice between the two is rather academic. What you can do is mimic smart people and mimic curious people. Reading a book doesn't make you more curious, it skips the part where you're curious and gives you the behaviour of the curious person. Is that enough? I'm not sure. I think it's probably difficult to motivate yourself to behave like a curious person, when you aren't one. It's all well and good to say "read a book" but a curious person reads a book with intention - they want to learn something about a specific thing. For example, I read history books because I'm curious about human nature in society. For the person who isn't curious, they can read the same books but who is to say they're taking the same information from that book as the curious person?

I also think however, that there is value in not being curious. The author talks about how someone with a degree may be smart not curious. But actually, it's very valuable for someone with a degree not to be curious in some cases. At some point we draw the line between learning and application, and if you are always learning, always curious, you do literally have the possibility of never using the things you learned. I really enjoyed starting a new job a few years ago- not because I was curious - but because if it offered me the opportunity to get my head down and use all that knowledge I'd accrued. I'm not an incurious person, but curiousity isn't an end in itself.
Thank you for sharing!

You may have recognized that I'm not terribly aware of the history behind this discussion and its arguments. It's more of an intuition built from using and exploring Scheme and Clojure.

My intuition is that if you have a uniform, flexible notation, then you get to use the same set of mechanical transformation tools for any language, which leads to more cross pollination and common solutions. But I could see how the meaning of that notation can get overloaded if you jump from context to context, say declarative versus algorithmic.
"Fire in a crowded theater" is an assertion that there are limits to protected speech. It says nothing about what those limits are. Harmful misinformation is well inside those limits. (And in any case it's from a decision that was overturned 50 years ago.)

Our team has been working on a suite of developer tools since the beginning of 2021. Today we are releasing reviewpatch -- a code review tool based on the patch workflow.

We have been dogfooding it since the very beginning and iterated the features along the way. So far the feature set is stable enough for it to be released. However, it is still buggy occasionally and has many rough edges. We tried to make it as self-contained as possible so that you could run it without many dependencies (such as a database).

v1.0 marks the start of receiving feedback from more people so that we can improve. It may not meet your standard of a production quality software :-)

We hope to add more features such as integration with popular CI systems and out-of-the-box static analysis support. If you have anything in mind, please leave a comment here or write to us at hello[at]reviewpatch.org
Unsure if this will be helpful but I found disabling the online part of windows search made it actually usable. Assuming you are only wanting to search locally.
On the off-chance this isn't sarcasm, Facebook's routing shenanigans slowed down the entire internet. Not to mention that they're a publicly traded company, and one which has gone out of its way to assume an infrastructure role. They don't have a right to privacy here, and we are all owed an explanation.
Good spot! Yes, Crimea.
FDA for the win. Also lite.cnn
If this is the same SS7 protocol flaw that security experts have been using to justifiably avoid SMS in 2-factor auth schemes forever now it's face palm inducing. Not that this sounds like a simple hack if they also compromised inboxes. Sounds like the victims were already very well owned at that point. Lesson learned I guess. I wonder how much it cost Coinbase.
You’d be surprised. Someone like Notch getting a billion dollar payday on Minecraft whose support infrastructure came (Mojang) after the code was done still give some programmers like this hope. But Notch is an extreme exception, and his genius in novel game design probably made up for the working alone aspect.
That probably just makes them a nicely cemented incumbent rather than a network effect.

Contrasting with social — if I want to message all my friends about a housewarming party, Mastedon might be my preferred platform & I might hate FB/WhatsApp, but if none of my friends actually _use_ Mastedon I'm out of luck. I have to talk with my friends somewhere that they can receive the message.

Whereas if a merchant offers me payment options of MasterCard, Amex or PayPal online, there's no additional pull towards PayPal because all my friends use it.
Long Covid is overblown and often something else, says Oxford professor
Some people prefer to communicate with less words? This is an issue that crops up often with different cultures working on a single issue.

As for difficult, the context is very much set from it being a Github Issue on their own repo, meaning there is a certain assumption of skill.

You're cutting Microsoft a lot of slack here, and it feels like you're forgetting that out of this whole transaction MS end up with free labour and bug-fixes? They choose for the setting to be very public, and they choose to let their employee's directly reply to customers with quotes like[1]: ["I will take your terse response as accepting the summary.", "somewhat combatively", "peppering your comments with clauses like", "impugning the reader."]. All of which are corporate-passive-aggression and (in my mind) are vastly more antagonistic than Casey ever was?

I simply want Netflix results to be included in the main AppleTV search.

I have seen some results give an “Open In” choice for Netflix, but selecting that simply opens the Netflix app at the “Home” screen. It’s also quite rare. I think I have only encountered ite once or twice.

Most results for movies and shows that are only available in Netflix, come up as “Rent or Buy.”

Shows and movies exclusive to Netflix don’t show up in AppleTV searches.

I also prefer the AppleTV “Details” screen, but even there, when reviewing a certain actor, the displayed “filmography” is really strange; often missing some major roles.

Sometimes, headline actors are missing from a show’s cast, in “Details.”

It seems like legal issues, but it is so random, that I suspect technical reasons.
> Ok, but I still don't see how M1 performance is evidence that this kind if integration is a great thing?

Because humanity and every company now has access to 5nm infrastructure? Because Apple created the greatest marketing campaign TSMC ever benefited from? Because Apple proved that custom silicon design is no longer fools gold and can be profitable and competitive? Because Apple showcased that more instruction parallelism, heterogeneous core types, co-processors, etc are all beneficial design choices and every competing company can take advantage of them? Because Intel is now competing with TSMC? Because AMD and Intel might lose the monopoly on x86 and need to compete? Because Rosetta 2 and universal binaries pave the way for Apple to invest and eventually transition to RISC-5 or …?

Do you not see any of these points as great? If not, why not? I’ll use your reasons to try to come up with better examples.
The point of Windows 11 is beyond me.

Much tighter integration with their online services and cloud offerings.
I wish there was some kind of regulation against this.
>> incentivize companies to put cameras and microphones everywhere, including bathrooms

No. This incentivizes companies to take complains seriously. Tesla isn't being punished because an employee did something. Employees always do things. Tesla is being punished for allowing the behavior to continue for an extended period of time. They don't need to install cameras to detect/prevent every occurrence. They need to institute a functional system that detects and handles repeat offenders. That might be as simple as a means for complaints to be lodged, investigated and acted upon. And when they find people acting like this, yes they do need to actually fire them.
I worked with a network engineer who misconfigured a router that was connecting a bank to it's DR site. The engineer had to drive across town to manually patch into the router to fix it.

DR downtime was about an hour, but the bank fired him anyway.

Given that Zuck lost a substantial amount of money, I wonder if the engineer faced any ramifications.

Sidenote: I asked the bank infrastructure team why the DR site was in the same earthquake zone, and they thought I was crazy. They said if there's an earthquake we'll have bigger problems to deal with.
I don't want an explanation nor do I care, Facebook could disappear tomorrow like all the other networks before it and it wouldn't make a dent in my day.
Monopoly in what? I've never used paypall in any physical or online payment.
It's lower than the interest most people pay on their cards. And if the card gets compromised, you lose a whole lot less. (Everyone anecdotally tells me they have a 0 balance every month. I said "most" people. These cards wouldn't even exist if nobody paid interest on their regular credit billing cycles.)

Its value really depends on the person's needs. Someone who never wants their real card that impacts their real credit rating on the Internet would happily use a Visa or Mastercard gift card.

So much of the internet is about translating addresses from one format to another:

Human readable to IP: DNS

Private IP to Public IP: NAT

MAC to Private IP: ARP

Public IP to AS: BGP

With a block chain DNS it may be possible to replace all of them with a single protocol, but it may well turn out to be an academic exercise.
In fairness, I still wouldn't call that a monopoly, just a popular choice.

I mean, I know some people who won't drink soft drinks unless it's specifically Coca-Cola and know a lot of people who'll pick Coke as their first choice but they clearly don't a monopoly on cola drinks.

Sabine's lecture pairs nicely, I think, with a recent Vsauce episode asking "Do Chairs Exist". Both, to my mind, explore elements of empiricism and pragmatism, and unearth subtleties of epistemology that most discussion seem to miss.

The app is designed under the assumption that Facebook servers are never down. If you can't reach the servers, the problem is assumed to be client-side, in which case they have decided the best UI is to keep retrying (not unreasonably in a mobile context). The only way to disambiguate "no internet service" (extremely common) with "Facebook dropped off the internet" (black-swan rare) is to ping some other, third party service. Unless that third party service has infrastructure as good as Facebook's, it will drown in pings the moment Facebook genuinely goes offline. I can see why Facebook wouldn't want to open that can of worms, if they even envisaged this failure mode (unlikely considering the chaos it caused).
Those articles literally do not mention fuel stations having to close as a result of the driver shortage at all, whereas here in the UK it was front-page headline news. No mention of fuel shortages means no mass panic buying and no actual fuel crisis where carers and nurses can't get enough fuel to drive to work like the one in the UK. Also, the UK truck driver shortage is very much a consequence of companies systematically underpaying drivers, resulting in really high turnover in the industry - just like that trade article you linked describes in the US. It's just that becaues part of the mechanism by which they got away with that is drivers from lower-cost-of-living countries in the EU, all the anti-Brexit folks are siding with the trucking industry...
