Sad to see a very concise comment revealing arguably the deepest and biggest problem of the frontend world - frontend architectures naming problem - being downvoted.
I have a wonderful book in front of me called “From One to Zero: a universal history of numbers” by georges ifrah.

chapter 9, roman numerals: a vestige of primitive origins? starts like this:

——————————

I V X L C D M

They are obviously letters of the roman alphabet, but this does not mean they have an alphabetic origin. The signs L, C, D, and M are not the original forms of the numerals 50, 100, 500, and 1000; they are altered forms of much older numerals. known instances of the use of L, D, and M as numerals do not go back much farther the the first century AD […]

—————————

The chapter goes on to illustrate the resemblence with etruscan numerals and the tally marks of ancient shepards counting sheep, see the “tally marks” section of the wikipedia page, or borrow the book from archive.org, page 131 to 146 or so.

Back in 2014 Spotify released some videos[1][2] about their engineering culture. From what I understand these were widely cited by consultants and the squad/tribe/chapter model was implemented verbatim at a number of companies. I'm guessing that is "getting Spotified".

A few interesting ones in there, such as Dentists, who other than other dentists, most often marry secretaries and assistants.
Restrictions and limitations on redemptions from the liquid fund already solve this.

And money in the side pocket can be kept forever in long term positions. Even to an LP that previously did a full redemption, the liquidity events from the side pocket can result in an infinitely long redemption.
I don't want client side scanning, and I don't want the cloud. If only wishing made it so.

People not being able to understand the devices they use is why devs have gotten us to this point. People are too uneducated to do proper back ups, so some enterprising people came up with a way to do that for you. Peeps still get it wrong. Some other asshats come along and take advantage of uneducated people, and do malicious stuff. Fuck 'em. We should just end the cloud because we as a society can't handle it or the responsibility of operating our own equipment. /s
On the topic of analysts, I've been wondering for a long time about "systems analyst" which used to be the cool job in computing in the 1980s but then essentially vanished. I was never quite sure what systems analysts did.

Getting back to the data visualization, a lot of it seems to be that male-dominated jobs pair with female-dominated jobs, which isn't particularly surprising.
This sounds like election interference by a foreign power. What business do employees in a US company have influencing the elections of a foreign country?
You got old and boring.

REvil and co dump gigabytes of data from random companies each week. Have you explored all that?

That's a lot of cool stuff happening with Islamic drones, modifying payloads and the like. You could work on those. 3D weapons also have an amazing eco system, JStark death barely even rated a mention on HN. Hezbollah explorers went into WW1 sunken ships in diving dresses to collect explosives to make rockets, there's multiple cool things about that.

Get into counterfeit fashion. The Chinese have crossed Kanye West's YEEZY Foam Runner with UGG boots, warm and cyberpunk. Counterfeit body mod drugs are getting pretty interesting.

Maybe we should add rich to old and boring.

HN is classic dead internet. That's part of the rich problem. Fake companies doing fake AI hiring fake IT devs for fake ridiculously high amounts of money, it's become in part a fake universe.
Wow - that is still happening? The initial interest followed by that sudden glazed disinterest as soon as they find out your job. Or is it location based where they have formed a stereotype from previous encounters? I had thought a well paying job would be a good start to a relationship (enough money does prevent a lot of problems). Personally I don’t like judgmental people (I’m meta-judgemental) so it usually has been no great issue to be ignored.
Conversely we’re Agile™, the company is looking for external solutions to replace everything that has been developed for the last 8 years.

If the company from top to bottom isn’t Agile then I don’t believe you can truly be Agile.
The whole PR discourse around these issues mentioned in the article is broken.

> Namely, three years after the 2016 election, troll farms in Kosovo and Macedonia were continuing to operate vast networks of Facebook pages filled with mostly plagiarized content targeting Black Americans and Christian Americans on Facebook.

I have yet to see a mainstream press article mention that people in other countries are not nefarious others in hoodies and sunglasses typing away at green screened terminals for Putin. The only reason people in Kosovo and Macedonia are making Facebook pages aimed at American politics is because some American PAC paid them to do so. If it were cheaper to hire people in Detroit or Chicago to do it, they'd be in Detroit or Chicago instead.

> Combined, the troll farms' pages reached 140 million Facebook users a month, dwarfing the reach of even Walmart's Facebook presence.

Do people go to Walmart's Facebook page? I can't think of any reason to go to a retailer's Facebook page, personally.

> "But if you just want to write python scripts that scrape social media and anonymously regurgitate content into communities while siphoning off some monetary or influence reward for yourself… well you can fuck right off."

Yet no one had a problem with Fark and Digg.

> Allen left Facebook soon after that for a data scientist job at the Democratic National Committee.

Of course he did, this is the real crux of the whole thing. He's fishing for donors and looking to jumpstart his political consulting career, so that he can help the DNC dupe people into voting for ballot referendums that make Uber exempt from labor laws, instead of helping Facebook ad buyers dupe people into buying t-shirts with unlicensed logos.

All of this sturm and drang aside, the more simple explanation for how to "solve these problems" is to not have all-encompassing social media platforms. The internet was largely fine when teenage boys who call each other slurs were limited to gaming forums and anonymous chats that grandmas and moms would never find. There's no reason outside of the monetary self-interest of those associated with Facebook and Twitter for these groups of people to be on the same app together at the same time.
Which post?

The site has some automatic anti-voting-ring protection. The details are unclear, because it's part of the secret sauce. My guess is that there is also an anti-brigading protection, but I never found an official announcement.

Note that most users can "vouch" dead post, and enough vouches unkill the post. Anyway, you can send an email to the mods so they take a look in this case.
That would depend on your interests. Try to explore themes in the internet instead the internet itself. There is always something to discover

Sigh.. sure, you can find faults in anyone's examples if you're just interested in doing that instead of debating the broader point.

Neither side can be diluted down to an anecdote, but I guess here we are all trying to do it anyways.

My point was actually about the stereotyping and the painting of all rural dwellers as recreational, as if urban dwelling is the only valid choice and everyone else is intentionally choosing a lesser or more difficult lifestyle.

The _overall_ point here is that connecting to any public utilities should not be made prohibitively expensive just because you live in rural areas.

I quite enjoyed it. I was joking with my wife that the first 3 minutes before the title roll was better than the Lynch version.

The effects certainly helped; the sheer size of things was amazing.
I think you have a point but could it be that after some age we simply don’t have time to explore because we are required to exploit?

I personally know some quite old people who seem to be into exploring all the time with periods of exploitation and all of them are people with mundane jobs that end when it ends. Their mental capacity is at their hobbies and they sometimes invest into their hobbies a lot, however they would come up with other hobbies all the time.

That’s in contrast to the white collar folks who’s life becomes work and all they do outside of work is to pay for some curated experience like vacation to Paris or Cooking lessons. They never have time for anything, they deeply specialize at something like building systems that catch people engaging in known money laundering schemes.

After some age you are in track to specialize a lot, make a lot of money and spends that money within the acceptable framework with your peers.

Also, the effects of the algorithms could be strong too. I noticed that it has been quite some time since the last time I was bored deeply. At the slightest sign of boredom I find myself getting entertained on one of the few apps and website I visit. It makes me feel like I’m exploring but in reality, I rarely see anything that is not a variation of something from the narrative of the platform.
They changed the bracket differences for single, married filing jointly, and married filing seperately back in 2018. Married filing seperately is basically the same as being single these days.
Plus we have so many additional risks of confrontation. Space vs Tabs, Vim vs Emacs, Deb vs Rpm...

Would you be able to elaborate on this or was it hyperbole? Personal experience is where there is passenger rail service are inherently more interesting.
I tried out "portmanteau" a word which actually DOES exist and is kinda what you're going for here. From Wikipedia:

A portmanteau or portmanteau word is a blend of words in which parts of multiple words are combined into a new word, as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, or motel, from motor and hotel. In linguistics, a portmanteau is a single morph that is analyzed as representing two underlying morphemes

Your tool says:

"a word that probably exists; with an alternative definition made by a machine learning algorithm."
I'd need a lot more context to understand what you mean by "trivial" and "extensive", respectfully
Not always! If computation involves math over set of records, then Postgres is great for that. Have the operation inside the db reduce connection pooling on the application level.
Except that the grandparent post that you responded to was all about the magnitude of the loss rather than just ROI. If the magnitude of the loss is manageable, then the ROI becomes less important for life decisions.

So sure! If all we are looking at is ROI then you are right! By definition! As long as you restrict your refutation ("by that metric") in a way that ignores the additional metric I had been trying to add to the conversation. I was trying to point out that there are other metrics that matter.
Default port for the Flask python web framework, but the poster was complaining because it's the port they use for something in production. Seems like a silly complaint honestly.

How exciting! You might discover a movie or series nobody in your bubble has ever heard of! It might be cinema of a kind you've never even dipped your toes in!

Whether something is boring or exciting is almost completely subjective and it doesn't really matter how much you already know, since there's just so much stuff.
Uninstall YouTube app and have yt links open in brave. Works like a charm.

Evgeny Morozov. His recent book To Save Everything, Click Here and earlier book The Net Delusion could be exactly what you are looking for. (I haven't read them myself, have only read reviews.)

Seconding Shoshana Zuboff also. Her latest book is The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.

Also seconding Jaron Lanier, for the books You Are Not a Gadget and Who Owns the Future?
This takes a very narrow view of programming and syntax and draws out some possible paths. I agree that we should and can make programming accessible. The main difference in how we should do that in my opinion isn't to do things with currently popular languages, that's building kinds of 'training wheels'.

What kind of programming did gain widespread adoption? Spreadsheets. How do they work? Functions: input -> output.

We should focus on representing dataflows with functions. I don't care if that's visual or F#. Just don't keep trying to take a representation designed for machines C, etc, and finding that it's not a good high-level fit for humans at large. Now of course some folks would find concrete procedural logic more approachable. That's fine too we already have lots of ways to train and fill those roles.
I miss webrings, those were nice for taking random walks through related sites. Blogs don't do this much anymore, and outlets like Medium and especially Substack keep you inside the walls of their author. Browsing geocities or angelfire used to be like taking a wiki-walk back in the day.

RSS is still viable, combined with link aggregators and newsletters for discovery of new material, but it's a very different experience.
Sorry, that still makes no sense to me. Why would company B have to make a better product in reaction? They're not being impacted at all. Company A having more and cheaper ads certainly won't make any users switch from B to A. It also won't make any existing advertisers stop spending on ads on B and run more ads on A, since the ads on B must have been profitable at the current price, and those ads are reaching a different set of users than the ads on A.

Is it possible that those cheaper ads could create more demand for ads somehow? It seems hard to believe it could. Either it's a search term that people were already willing to buy more expensive ads for, and are now just happy to pay less, or it's a search term that nobody was willing to bid even minimum price for.

What's actually going to happen in your scenario is that company A loses 90% of their revenue, goes bankrupt, and their domain is sold for a fair price to Company B or one of the other 98 remaining competitors.
If you are already cohabitating, marriage is an expense you can indefinitely procrastinate.

Especially if you see what others are doing on social media, your mental model of the expense continues to inflate and the pressure to procrastinate grows.
Was the ADL ever classically liberal? I don't mean that snarkily. I just don't recall much of a shift in their values in the way that's clearly visible for the ACLU and others.
Just FYI, Virtue Signalling is a pejorative that implicitly marginalizes and accuses someone of abnormal behavior. The GP here is calling that out even if you didn't specifically use the term "virtue signalling" in your original comment - the behavior here is entirely normal.

The phrase's roots come from the alt-right looking for a replacement for SJW accusations not being taken seriously:

I can see why you might be sad about the loss of a component ecosystem, but I think the integrated architecture is primarily a result of physics rather than commerce. This doesn’t mean it can’t be open, like RPI, and maybe we can hope that this will be Intel’s response in the medium term.

But the trend towards on-chip integration and SoCs has been decades long. CPUs also used to be made from discrete components. So I think, for better or worse, the transition to SoCs is inevitable.
Quite the roster of names behind the article.
> I think that "waterfall" is often a straw man.

Every discussion where Waterfall comes up has someone saying this, I'm glad you've not experienced it. But it has existed, does exist, and will continue to exist (because enough project managers are idiots). One of my first jobs (I quit) was a failed project that persisted because of gov't money, but would have failed as a commercial venture (started circa 2007, failed to deliver at least through 2011, I was on board for a year and found an exit). It was 100% Waterfall, they literally delivered the wrong thing several years late and with around $1 billion spent. Great for the contractors, awful for the taxpayers.

But yes, that is what Waterfall is. It's a large scale project executed linearly with limited-to-no-feedback. Large scale is somewhat subjective, but basically if it's done in less than a few months it's probably not at a scale where your choice of development model actually matters.

Wikitravel does not have any copyrights to anything, so I would hope not. It's all contributor-created content licensed under CC-by-SA which is free to copy under certain terms.

More importantly, Wikitravel is basically a dead man walking, and Wikivoyage is a living project.
The future will be different.

A lot of successful businesses start with things that are not scalable, and it is a strength, not a weakness. If you start a social network for instance, you can't beat Facebook at its own game. You have to do something that Facebook can't do because it is too big. Scalability problems will be tackled as you grow.

Among the many things Facebook can't do is running its service on a single database. It makes things much harder on them, thankfully, you are much smaller than Facebook and you can. Take that advantage.
If most couples you know are just cohabitating, the cultural forces to have a public ceremony decrease.
Very few deployments experience actual failures. Could be some fridge-door/light situation going on.

I mean this sincerely, do public apologies ever help in situations like this? Anecdotally, I always seem to see them backfire as insincere or insufficient.
> I think the driving force between the Internet seeming so small nowadays is a combination of changes to how search engines work, as well a move from forums to big social media which has meant a shift from organic community discovery to being drip-fed content from based on what an algorithm thinks will be engaging.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Google used to prioritize forum posts in their search results. They even had a feature to limit search results to only forum posts via a "Discussions" option on the results page.

These days, Google prioritizes social media content, click bait and blogspam that has a lot of ads. The "Discussions" option is gone, and even recent forum posts are nowhere to be found on the first few pages of search results.
> Most centralization incrementally kills local industry, including the local culture industry. TV, railroads, chain stores, Wal-mart, you name it -- they are all killing something local.

Although I agree with this, but I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing for the customers. Some industries are best centralized and some are not. For the business of selling books I think it's best to have a lot of sellers.
I was looking for a mention of Redwood JS - I assume your post has a typo in it.

It's not 1.0 yet but from what I have played with it's the backend (PostgreSQL with Prisma, graphql, services) + frontend (react with data retrieval components (Cells)). That sounds buzz wordy but in practice it works nicely.
From ‘guix environment’ to ‘guix shell’
I have a compulsion to create terms for arbitrary concepts such that recently I've considered learning German because it's easier to create new words (via compounds) there.
I suspect it might be interesting as a spin-off of the recent CockroachDB Cloud discussion, since it is a free (but not serverless) Postgres-compatible cloud database with a non-trial free tier.
In the United States Robert Bork advanced the “consumer welfare” philosophy of anti-trust policy. It allows for monopolies that provide lower prices or better products/service even if competition is crushed. In the European Union loss of competition is a harm per se.
Haha that's what I was thinking when I wrote about the knife, but it didn't fit with what I had in mind very well.

I really like your comment and agree with what you've written, what I was going for (and failed to really spell out) is that by definition everything within the public sphere is politics. Everything that shapes or defines the relationships between groups or individuals is politics.

That's what one will find if he searches dictionaries for politics. But somehow the word has taken on new meaning and people manage yo argue nonsensically with it. I'm sure that people who argue like this against politics/things being political all have slightly different things in mind and noone understands the original meaning of politics.
Did you use NGrok or some kind of live test environment to develop the slack app or use their new websockets functionality? Also where are you hosting your Slack app?

Yes, that makes sense and could be good.
This was in 2006. In 2002 I had lunch with Peter and when I mentioned the Semantic Web, he was not enthusiastic.

I would argue that today Google’s Knowledge Graph, DBPedia, and WikiData are all successful projects.

> Many other countries do classify people who gained immunity from exposure the same as vaccinated.

Can you point out an example of any country that exempts those who were already infected with COVID from taking the vaccine? As far as I can tell, no European country does anything of the sort, neither does the US and definitely not Canada, and a quick Google search returns no search hit.
> Does it mean that young people are still exploring the internet and computer today the way I use to back when I was young?

Yes, but they're exploring TikTok, YouTube and to a lesser extent, Instagram. There are oceans of content to explore on those platforms.
Sure, those are all good points. We'll definitely keep an eye on customer demand in these areas so we can make good prioritization decisions. It can be frustrating when there are so many things that we'd like to do, but we can only pick a small subset to actually do.
The bang syntax works though: `!wv malta` sends me to the Wikivoyage page on Malta.
Exactly this. This isn't some kind of roving solitary confinement, it's a safe vehicle for human workers to travel through automated automated-robot-only areas.

An Amazon exec posted about it on Twitter saying that they scrapped this idea and replaced it with a vest with a sensor on it that causes automated robots in the vicinity to stop moving (creating a safe zone around the worker).

I hate Amazon more than most, but this invention is kinda cool, and also probably not going to get used.
It's probably unhelpful to speculate about why this page is suddenly unavailable, or when/if it will return, so instead let me provide an archive.md of the Google cached version:
