As a OSS author, the problem is that other developers also treat issues as tasks. If you look at anywhere or any kind of rubric that tries to measure the "health" of a repository, things like the number or lifetime of issues play an important role. Even npm shows publicly (open) "Issues" and "Pull Requests". Well, if my project is working as intended, I like that people look at it and see the "Issues" count to be as close to 0 as possible.

That's why I'm so excited/hopeful about Github Discussions, that seems like it was a huge hole in the whole Github and finally being addressed. A place to ask questions, meta questions, show YOUR issues using the library, etc. just a place to have conversations around the library. So you can leave the Issues for bug reports/potential issues.

I closed the Issues tab in two of my most popular libraries because they just got low quality questions where devs were expecting me/others to basically fix their code/do their homework.
I think it's unfortunate that commenters so often conflate authors with publishing platforms. Presumably, Wired, like just about any reputable media outlet, gives some amount of editorial independence to the writing staff to isolate them from the business side.

In fact, the author in this case isn't even employed by Wired. She's a professor of Ethics at Oxford.

This raises the obvious question: do people with opinions need to agree with all the practices of a publishing platform to submit their opinion to it? I doubt I agree with all of Hacker News' business practices, let alone Y Combinator's, yet here I am allowing my words to be forever served by them.
The other thing they did was use AI image recognition to scan images sent via text. This wasn't a hash match and much more dangerous. I'm not sure why people get fixated on the CASM thing while ignoring this; this seems much worse to me.

The first feature of the three features will use the phone’s on-device machine learning to check the content of children’s messages for photos that look as if they may be sexually explicit. That analysis will be done entirely on the phone, Apple said, and it will not be able to see the those messages.

If a child receives such a message, it will be blurred and the child wil be warned that it could be sensitive and given information about such messages, as well as being given the option to block the contact. If a child decides to view a message, they will be told that their parents will be alerted, and an adult will then be notified.

Indeed, books to - I always wanted to build a library in my house when I was younger, as the years go by the number of books I have hard copies of gets less and less. Now I just have a bookshelf with reference books, and half of it is empty - everything else on the iPad.

A friend of mine had an entire room dedicated to vinyl LP's, now he has a phone.

It is great that I can carry round a whole library but I used to spend time just fiddling with the books, arranging them, dusting them, taking them out and looking at them. I know I could just build a library, and every now and then I buy some paper copies in a fit of nostalgia, but they just gather dust now. A lot of interests and hobbies are all electronic now.
I would argue "HN" is not schizophrenic, "HN" is a bunch of users who have different passions and will comment/vote on different things.
> Facebook whistleblower warns ‘dangerous’ encryption will aid espionage by hostile nations

So another reason the politicians in DC are so abnormally happy about Haugen. She's providing a security/safety theater argument against encryption, one that is so convoluted it's bound to confuse the general public in a we have to deny your rights to protect your rights sort of way.
Yes pretty much this. It's transparent and laughable.
Indeed. I take this as an endorsement by Facebook that he is telling an inconvenient truth.
> 1) Less monitoring on private messages

The Facebook leaker is explicitly arguing against this though. She cites Facebook’s push for end-to-end encryption of private messages as a problem.
Who has both a world class highly sophisticated cyber warfare capability and the motive to use it against Iran? Hmmm... It is a mystery...
That isn't the default behavior. Locking issues is ridiculous, IMO, because then you get tons of duplicate discussions and it's impossible to follow one discussion thread.

Often times even close issues have fruitful conversation after the closure.

Locking should only happen in extreme circumstances, like if the discussion gets heated and people are personally attacking others.
Aj, my bad. I skimmed over the part where it says they are hosting the bridge for you. Since matrix is focused on privacy etc I assumed this is available as a container/VM I can run at home or on a VPS.

Indeed then very weird why I should trust them more with my personal data than anybody else.
To 1 User in 24hr with My First Product
So yesterday I announced to launch of Microsponsor here on Hacker News.

And it's been just 24 hours and I have got 3 signup and one creator actually submitted his newsletter to the marketplace!

How did I find my first users?

Finding the first real users can be very difficult, especially for a 19 year old like me with no network whatsoever. So, I decided to go with cold emails.

The good thing here is that my competitors have few good newsletters already submitted. So, I just contacted these writers either through the contact form on their website or through their publicly available email. And fortunately, one of them actually submitted his newsletter!

I know that cold emailing is not scalable, but in my opinion it can be a good way for acquiring your first few users.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can approach user acquisition? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you

Shameless plug -

1. If you happen to be a newsletter writer, please consider submitting your amazing newsletter to Microsponsor

2. If you are a founder or brand looking to collaborate with creators, consider joining the waitlist (launching soon!). We take no commission

Thanks!
I'd wager that maintenance repaint (in place) is less costly than repainting at a different location, which requires additional expertise
I'm not sure you're implementation would actually be useful, and effectively you are doing the same thing as stalebot, just in a less obvious way.

If you have 100 reports created in a month on a form, then it is very difficult to see what is triaged, who is working on what, and what still needs attention. The reporter wants something, which is by definition a task.

The simple reports get resolved quickly, so you post a message saying that it is resolved. In a form that is now the top message. Other team members are more and more likely to click on already resolved issues at the top, which may not obviously be resolved.

Eventually these resolved posts will age out and be paginated away, along with other non-resolved reports. The non-resolved reports are essentially closed by being stale. They have been aged out, and no one looks at old reports because they are mixed with things already actioned.

People will still search the form, just as they do tickets, which is the same either way.
Not a US citizen, but what’s noticeably lacking in discussions about surveillance (such as this one) is faulting the very government that’s pressuring companies to comply with state surveillance programs. Doesn’t matter how big you are or how much you’re worth—if your interests do not align with the state you’re not above its power.
No one knows. We just observe it happening.
How do you justify this knowing that Apple bends over backwards to violate human rights in the Chinese market? What makes America different, just that they haven't been exposed in a significant manner yet?
I am using WhatsApp bulk marketing software
I am thinking of making a free tool to help businesses market via WhatsApp. In my country everyone uses WhatsApp which is why I believe it is a good channel that can no longer be used properly by businesses.

When I say marketing I mean more about customer relationships than about sending too many messages. From my company experience, potential customers who have not responded by phone or email are often answered via WhatsApp.
> GPS is not involved in this change really.

How do you determine true north without a GPS system?
No, that is more from the association of radioactivity with radium paint, which is a mixture of radium and a phosphor, similar to glow-in-the-dark paint. The radium will keep the phosphor "charged" so that the paint will keep glowing without having to be exposed to a light source.
Adobe’s Photoshop and Illustrator Coming to Web
That's a good point. It's very much talent pipeline.

I guess that implies trying to get a sense of how what the candidate wants to do long-term aligns with the work we have.
One piece of friction that hurts here is that the C++/Rust and ARM memory models aren't the same, and the consequences of this are unintuitive - compilers and CPUs can both screw with execution ordering.

People who write in C++ should technically _only_ be concerned with the C++ memory model, but x86 has let them be very lax and undisciplined with std::memory_order_relaxed. ARM has some alluring constructs that don't quite fit with the C++ model, which can tempt you to mix and match memory models for performance. All of this means trouble with atomics.
volatile primitives is how D does volatile as well.

I do sort of miss having a basic volatile (although I can write my own type somewhat effectively) just for benchmarking's sake sometimes.
Im guessing that He is talking about "having job" being a poor abstraction for value creation from point of view of whole society. Its like triple A rating for CDOs backed by subprime morgages. On the surface it seems good but if You look close enough You will see only bullshit and wishful thinking.
I wonder why Facebook Messenger is not included? From experience, the Messenger Matrix bridge has been surprisingly robust, moreso than the signald bridge.
