It should definitely be up there. Stopping politicians from being able to pick their voters should also be a priority.
This reflects my experience as well. When I more or less know what I’m doing (where my typing is essentially the rate limiting step), playing familiar music helps me to focus, but when I really need to stop and think about what I’m trying to accomplish, I prefer as much silence as possible (I’ll even switch from headphones to large hearing protection earmuffs, the kind you should wear if you’re working with heavy equipment).
Zūm Plans to Add 10k EVs to School Transportation Fleet
There is a certain irony on this. My blog site uses ghost not Jamstack. I was using an old version and it had a pretty bad exploit bug related to magic links.

I took the site down to patch and then put it back online...If I'd only used SSG for it too.
> It's as if the notion of people being arbitrarily born more or less with a knack for something is evil.

The stretch from person A is a better programmer / SW engineer than B to 'thus, person A is innately better' is unnecessary.

In my experience, the programmer that spends more time programming is almost always better than the one who does not. You can hate side projects, open-source work, whatever as much as you want, but IME, the programmers that engage in that (and thus have multiple times more actual experience than one who works 9-5) are universally the 10x people.

In other words, it's not innate intelligence... it's simple effort and working towards improvement.

Now... there are some people that are truly just stellar, and I can attribute perhaps some of this to innate ability, but the difference between mediocre programmer and 10x is typically one of hard work. Between 10x and the extremely rare 100x... well maybe we can talk brain differences. Those programmers are so rare though, it's futile to expect you'd be able to hire them, since there's not enough supply. 10x is good enough.
I had some paperwork refused on my business account with Lloyds because it "didn't match the signature on file" — I went in to the bank with photo ID and got my stuff sorted and happened to ask "Can I see the signature that you have on file for me?" (because generally it doesn't change that much for me time-to-time) — it was a completely different person! Wasn't even my name.

The cashier agreed with me that it _clearly_ wasn't my signature & "didn't know how it happened". I was in a big rush that day & no longer have the account, but I really regret not escalating it though.
But anyone using typescript would just be Googling JavaScript syntax. Rarely is there anything Typescript-specific you need to look up while writing TS code.

To many people, the overall system feels to be designed as a whole to extract wealth from the masses and funnel it upwards towards those already capable of funding their continued existence. To those people, the idea that "obtaining the money you are owed from your job costs you a fee" is a gross abuse of the system. Penalizing poor people doesn't seem great.

Tablespaces allow you to store tables in defined directories on the file system.

What I was talking about is controlling the ordering of the rows within a table on disk. If you are going to be reading some group of rows together often, ideally you want those rows to be contiguous on disk as a sequential read of a range is much faster than bouncing around to dozens of locations to collect the needed rows. This becomes more important for very large tables. Imagine a 5TB `blocks` table and you need to read 50 blocks to render a given notion doc but those blocks could be scattered all over the the place on disk, it's a lot more work and it thrashes the page cache.

PG doesn't normally make any guarantees about how rows are ordered on disk and it may move rows around when updates are made. It does has a CLUSTER operation, which re-orders rows based on the order of an index you give it, but this is a one time operation and locks the table while running. This makes it functionally useless for large tables that are accessed and updated frequently.

Some other databases do give you control over disk ordering, SQL Server for example has `CLUSTERED INDEX` which you can apply to a table and it'll order data on disk based on the index order, even for new insertions / updates. It does cost a bit more on the write side to manage this, but it can be worth it in some cases.
Yeap – I think it also shows how a lot of our traditional management techniques were more effective when it was more mischief or small-scale campaigns, rather than when a lot of people have an ideological or financial motive to coordinate. The Metafilter approach is expensive to scale, not everyone wants it, and I don't see too many other successes dealing with this.
Not a FB fanboy here, but instagram ads have been the most relevant and interesting ones to me. I actually like seeing them pop up in my feed.
> Which one is it? Public or not?

The aggregate data would be public and the underlying data points would not be. Just in the same way it's possible to have a robust discussion of income equality but I can't look up how much money my neighbor earns.

> Yes, which I alluded to. Now tell me, when will this end? As I said, we have an inflationary currency, so of course todays taxes will not be enough in the future. Which is why this system is a joke to me. Why are you surprised the taxes are not enough anymore?

No, this is not true. Income tax brackets are updated every year, and always have been, to account for inflation.

> The first income tax applied to those making more than $600/yr, which means the poor didn't pay. Today, the poor still pays, as that limit was never updated to the new "wealthy" level. Also because the left wanted a larger taxable base, for more $$$$.

The 19th-century income tax only lasted a few years, was not particularly progressive, raised very little revenue, and generally bears little to no resemblance to our current income tax. The income tax we have today dates to the early 20th century.

> Please avoid "other countries" as we're talking about the US and I have no clue or care about other countries tax codes or history.

But we should care about other countries because their experiences can inform ours.

> How so? If you tax everybody at the same low rate, say 15%, then every can pay? Whatever the minimum bracket is in the current system, use that. This will result in less tax revenue, which is why the left hates this system.

If you want to construct a modern state, you need progressive taxation to raise the 40-70% of national income a year in tax revenue (all "developed" modern states do this. Places like India and South Africa don't, which explains a lot...). If you believe we should go back to a 19th-century state which collects low taxes and does little redistribution, (1) inequality would balloon; and (2) I've got bad news for you, because most people in the United States support significantly more progressive taxation. (Not to mention that the United States would quickly fall behind the rest of the world due to lack of investment in education, which is one of the primary drivers of productivity growth.)

Its usually best to assume anything a corporate founder, executive, or PR rep says in public about the corporation, its mission, or their personal ambition regarding it is a calculated effort to promote the business interests of the corporation by shaping public perception, and only coincident with the truth to the extent that there is a likelihood that the truth happens to be convenient, or that falsehood or silence would be detectable and have adverse consequences.

I don’t see this as any more dystopian than having a costumed human in character as Santa or Spider Man visit hospitalized children. For those who do, I think that’s the comparison you have to make an argument for.

Kids delight in plastic objects just because they are shaped like dinosaurs instead of sippy cups. That novelty is important to them. The robot is operated by a human, so the interaction is still rich.

My nephews like me. My nephews would also like me-as-a-robot even more as an occasional thing, whether they knew it was me driving it or not. Given that the intention here is “more visits to sick kids that would not otherwise happen,” and not “substituting existing human interaction with a human-operated robot,” I think it’s a good thing.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I like static site generators, but on my Wordpress Blog I can

1. Got comments and pingback with Antispam

2. Install a nice (Elastic) Search plugin with a decent search engine (name your preferred option).

3. HotSwap on the fly themes

4. Improve performance via cache plugins (there are a lot of them).

I do not run JetPack to avoid even Wordpress.com lockin.
Also with PHP 8.x and code cache enabled the overall WordPress speed is very high.

So how can I get all this feature on static site generators without lockin for comments/search/moderation (just asking)?
But very often what makes an idea "better" is that it produces a result faster. I've done exactly this: spent hours trying to solve a problem to no avail. Then walk away, come back to it and see that a completely different approach will solve it in ten minutes.
Many people have built natural immunity since March 2020, so now vs then is not comparable at all.
I'd use this if you can remove all the Apple crap features:

- All the crap of AI / machine learning to prevent cross-site tracking that's useless to me in "Private Browsing" mode - just give me back control over cookies (manually and through third-party extensions), and keep Apple away from my data.

- Remove the crap "Web Advertising: Allow privacy-preserving measurement of ad effectiveness" code from webkit. Keep advertisers, and Apple's online advertising networks, away from my data.

So just as there are many Chrome clones that advertise they've removed all Google spying code from it, please offer a Webskit browser without Apple's crap baked into it. If possible also reverse the changes Apple made to Webkit that actually slightly cripples adblockers, like uBlock, from working effectively on it.
It is. It is like saying that access to Stack Overflow diminishes and undermines status of elite software developers.

The reality is a lot of people do not know how to use the "democratized access" they get.

No worries. I will confess to sometimes adding "restrictions" to "due to Covid" headlines (e.g. with "Hunger increases sharply in the developing world due to Covid" I would add it), but I see that as just remedying the editorialization implicit in the originals.
I will build on it. Even type of music may make a difference in your mental state. Soothing background piano music may actually help your focus, while lyric heavy cadence of note distractions will do anything but since it is virtually designed for a distraction.
I don't disagree. There's lots of options for the content part. I guess the thing I was trying to point out here was that I didn't need a CMS. The content is static, the site is basically a brochure. I was happy just writing static HTML.
Even more than that - want to evaluate two MBA programs? See where the students landed for internships and full time roles.

Seal-mounted camera recovered after 3 years on ocean floor yields hours of video
I checked Tesco when posting, and could get a late evening delivery slot on Saturday. Collection I could get 7am Saturday morning. Not saying the system is perfect, but it's definitely possible to get next day delivery on groceries. Even Amazon doesn't guarantee next day on everything after a certain time, and I see this as much the same - you snooze, you gotta wait an few more hours.

I am interested in a deliveroo/just-eat style grocery shopping solution though. If the store can pick and pack your order in 3 hours and put it at the front of the store for collection by a group of drivers that are constantly in rotation, how is that any different from collecting my takeaway and driving it to my house? It really isn't, but it's also not an urgent operation that needs such a quick turn around time IMO. I'm sure others will pay for the convenience, but I'm personally happy waiting 12 hours and collecting it myself so long as I don't have to step inside the store.
Jeez, the vitriol here.

People are jumping to conclusions and bashing jamstack/static without checking the source (it's not a static blog, it's ghost:node+sqlite/mysql) or reading the article (it's not about the blog, it's about https://hillcroftlacrosse.com).

The proper "open-source-if-a-bit-dickish" way would be to do exactly what the .NET Foundation did here, but where the letter said "You will need to add this admin for compliance with our policies" that word policies would be studded with footnotes to policy pages, reams of meeting minutes, and archives of open mailing list discussions.

Apache and Eclipse and others all mandate that they control a lot of minutia of source control like what .NET Foundation seems to want to be doing with their GitHub Enterprise account, but their transparency policies mean all of the discussions of that are open and no one is surprised when changes happen.
Congrats for the project! Love the simple UI and extensions support.

Don't you fear being held back by WebKit, which is notoriously slow to implement new web platform features? Can you give some insights on how you chose the engine?

Ah, to be fair, I only read the author's replies, and those are already shown first. The rest only if something catches my eye. Fortunately the bulk of replies are inane, and Twitter does a good job at weeding them.

Imagine if HN had hundreds/thousands of first-level comments. Upvoting/downvoting alone wouldn't be enough to weed them or showcase the best of them.

I've gone through some traumatic shit and some of it just could not be dealt with until I had gained some distance from it. It does still need to be dealt with eventually but it helps a ton if it's not something that actively makes you want to curl up into a ball and hide every time you think about it.

Ultimately, sure, you need to sit down and open up the vault you've put this pain in and deal with it. But it's a lot easier if you don't get consumed in a wave of remembered fear and stress every time you even think about touching that vault. This article suggests that distracting yourself with Tetris soon after the painful experience helps avoid that happening.

While these "free speech" Reddit alternatives end up taking a far-right tone, what's funny is how all discussions they host have to be approached from that angle.

You may want to also consider other data points like the annual Stack Overflow Developer Survey [0]. Again, it's not necessarily the perfect stat reflecting actual real-world language use (since it's really more about languages used by visitors to SO), but I'd say it's a pretty decent proxy.

> If you aren’t interested in maintaining your app annually, don’t publish apps on Apple’s store.

That's exactly what I do. I avoid the app stores like the plaque.

> (I am not sympathetic to your situation, because as a user of apps, I am exhausted of crappy apps and bottom-of-the-barrel behaviors from developers. I understand that others may feel otherwise, and that’s fine too, just as long as those feelings do not get in the way of being a responsive app developer.)

I think the word here is 'entitled.' There are a few different groups here:

- Bottom-of-the-barrel scammers, whom I have no sympathy to

- Little kids and amateurs, who might want to put something out and move on

- Graduate students and research projects

- Little not-for-profits

- Internal-use small businesses and enterprise apps, where a they might be developed once and forgotten about for decades (yes, plural)

In my case, I don't need to have an app on the app store, and I don't care for Apple's behavior, so I don't have an app there. That hurts Apple (and you, if you're an iPhone user) more than it does me.

You're also confusing strictness with timelines. I'm all for super-strict policies. Just with:

- Backwards compatibility (e.g. grandfathering) of older apps

- Plenty of notice
What is the one industry you're speaking of? Financial services? If so, how can you not include banks, which charge vastly more than the 2-3% that check cashing places do after all their fees are included?

Sorry that it's not acceptable to you, but in most places check cashing places are the cheapest and best option for the people they serve. Should people be able to cash checks for free? Yes, I think they should, but that's not reality right now.

It would be great if check cashing places could cash them well under 2-3% of the cost of the checks, but they're often small checks. These are businesses with rent to pay - they're not making insane profits despite what you may believe. If you put them all out of business because you think they're predatory, then you make all of the people they serve meaningfully worse off.

It's fine to acknowledge that there's a problem with banking but not to call check cashing predatory while they're providing the cheapest, most user-friendly solution to that problem. 2-3% is egregious, but if you want to get rid of that you need to actually fix the structural problem, not just criticize companies that are often doing the best job they can given the constraints of a bad system.

I know people who deal with thousands in cash every month. They have no account and really never should. I am not even going to suggest to them to get one. They have extremely poor money management skills. Banks can be quite merciless if you are riding the line. They need the physicality of cash in hand to see they are spending too much. To me a 30 dollar fee is 'well that sucks'. To someone who is riding the line 30 bucks can mean a cascade of borrow from peter to pay paul, or 'well skip the power bill this month'. Which then makes the problem worse.

This is not even a 'class' thing I have seen many highly paid, very smart people who just do not grok less out than in. Also do not spend it before you have it (I am getting paid tomorrow so I can borrow X and pay it off), one way ticket to massive credit card debt that old gem is.
