In my lifetime, I've witnessed first hand a lot of racism, and just outright violence towards Asians and Blacks, including institutional racism. I believe that's the difference.

Italian Americans don't have to worry about this sort of institutional racism (at least not in generations), so it's easier to assume these jokes are honest attempts at humor vs bigotry.
A large portion of those millions of jobs are not contributing to human progress. We don't flip the switch overnight, but in my opinion, a sane government should have announced decades ago,

"Hey, we're going to do away with this private health insurance business in 10 years (or whatever!). We are accepting applications to help us with the new plan, and otherwise, you should begin thinking about what you will do after we complete this transition. Here are some resources that we are providing to help you figure that out."

As for unhealthy Americans I don't have much of a solution to offer. Sugar Tax? Maybe. I don't know what else. Just don't be idiots, people! Take care of your bodies! Get off your asses and do something! It's frustrating, because I don't feel like I'm really part of the problem.

I also don't really think that Americans being unhealthy should prevent us from moving on. There is nothing hidden about the blight of Private Health Insurance. It's governed by greed, and it's obvious. It's already socialized, because some 10-20% of my paycheck goes to health insurance for my family, and I almost never use it at all! Meanwhile, my oldest child has a chronic condition and is almost 100% covered by a State funded health insurance program (and I'm very thankful for that)! We're part of the way there already! The system is broken, and I find there are few topics on HN that I have a stronger opinion about.
>> People are hearing actual voices inside their heads?

Just to be clear, I do not hear my own voice in the way I would if I am listening to a recording with my voice. There is just a continuous train of thoughts, in one of the languages I know well, coming as if it has bypassed the ears and came directly to my attention or conscious access. I clearly know that it's not coming via the ears.

>> Can you all hear things like music and other sounds too?

Yes. Just in the same way as the above.

There have been times when lyrics of a song played back in my mind where I had no a priori awareness that I even remember those lyrics.
> The reason the USA can't fathom going to single-payer system is because Americans are so unhealthy.

> If your endgoal is single-payer healthcare in the USA. Step 1 is getting Americans healthy again and I think we have hit a roadblock.

American's are unhealthy, yes, but the real problem with healthcare in the US is the cost of healthcare, first and foremost [1].

Single payer could at least negotiate prices down, but does not go far in enough IMO. I am pretty much a hardcore free market fundamentalist, but healthcare should have no space for profit motive.

Obamacare was, for a lack of a better word, a joke. More or less, it was (publicly and privately) funded expansion of the current system. Case in point, in order to subsidize the higher healthcare cost for older Americans, Obamacare (stupidly) forced healthcare on younger people via the individual mandate, effectively shifting the premium costs to younger people in order to pay the healthcare costs of older, less healthy people. There were other dumb problems, too. Yes, it did save lives in the short term but did fuck-all for fixing the system - the main problem being (again) costs.

> I'm not sure what other issues you're referring to

All hundreds of them. That was debated ad nauseam both here and on practically all Linux websites. See https://ihatesystemd.com/ or https://nosystemd.org/ for some examples.
US pays more for healthcare than any other developed nation and gets the worst service. This is just a bunch of talking points I see repeated a lot. With single payer we can actually save money as a nation.
Yes, you can. It's all pretty seamless with Calva & VS Code.
Yes, the overhead isn't avoided. This example was thought as the "safe" choice. If you want to be "fast", you have to very carefully analyze what you are doing and then deciding accordingly. If you have code which cannot panic, you have no need to use defer and can unlock directly after the access. And the biggest gain would be avoiding acquiring and releasing the lock in the hot path in the first place.

I think the best practice is to approach a problem from the safe direction as long as performance isn't a total disaster and then try to find the spots which carefully have to be optimized relaxing some of the safeties. But as you are dealing with small hot spots, you can manually analyze the code in question. Similar to the "unsafe" package - if you use it only punctually, the safety loss is usually not a problem.
I think that's just normal code, nothing that affects the runtime, that Promise is just a pony actor and abides to the same rules, with the same causal messaging guarantees.
How do you think courts or parliaments are funded? The same argument applies here. Why should the fourth power be any different than the second or third?
Maybe it was all the bitcoin he had left. I found this quote:

"White took a hefty commission on purchases, ranging between 1% and 5% on each sale. According to investigators, approximately $96 million (£73 million) was spent on the site."

So, his total commission was somewhere between £730k and £3.65M, and they noted "lavish spending" in many articles.

Edit: Kind of funny that 1-5% is characterized as "hefty", compared to what legitimate marketplaces charge.
I actually think this is pretty neat and don’t reject the unified vision as bad. This does not block you from keeping separate classes for styling and inheriting properties, so it can give you the same benefits of css. What it looks like it does is keep everything in a single organized system without introducing huge complexity, or obscuring the underlying model, something most frameworks fail at.
Hetzner is a fraction of the cost of AWS. A 8vcpu, 16GB RAM instance is 22€ on Hetzner cloud or $148 on AWS. If you have substantial egress traffic the difference becomes even more pronounced.

AWS has a bigger ecosystem of services, and due to AWS's traffic cost you can't cheaply mix-and-match things inside and outside their ecosystem. That's probably the biggest reason to go with EC2.
Nah, don't ban it. I've learned more ways to bypass paywalls from paid stuff being posted here than anywhere else. Keep it coming.

Your point is a good one, but there are often workarounds for content that is otherwise paywalled. For instance, ft.com content is (mostly) paywalled on its own site, but a fair bit is syndicated elsewhere (sometimes in ArsTechnica, for instance) and searching for a headline often provides an alternative source with no paywall.

Other workarounds involve archive services, or, in the case of your example, things like this:

https://sci-hub.ru/10.1177/00207314211015806

Elsewhere, HN readers sometimes provide relevant extracts of paywalled articles in comments.

Anyhow, those are my thoughts. I don't like being excluded from content, but there are often ways to read it anyway.
Right.

They asked what can you do besides leaving.

Should just leave.
> What's the point of hacker news if the pages for many of the links cannot be read without subscription.

Which is why the site rules explicitly allow paywalled content as long as a paywall workaround exists.
Exactly. If the King paid for the newspaper, he would de-fund them if they reported news that went against the King. The fourth estate must remain independent.
Even before the merge, I can't think of any Activision game that I genuinely loved and immersed myself in. Hard to do that with shallow movie tie-in games and I never cared for Call of Duty.

I loved Blizzard's games though.
> It would mean millions of jobs lost, what are those people going to go do?

This is legitimately one of the biggest issues with single payer, and absolutely worth talking about. Our grossly inefficient system has created many layers of administrative bureaucracy that would have to be shed and that's not going to be an easy problem to solve.

> Defund the craziest, largest military in the world and you wouldn't pay for 10% of the single payer health system.

The CBO scored 5 different variants of a single payer system and found that 4 of them would reduce overall healthcare expenditures[0], so even if taxes were increased to pay for single payer, those increases would theoretically be less than the current amount we spend on healthcare because of the lower administrative overhead. Lots of policy people have done research on this, it's simply not true that a single payer system is just out of the realm of possibility.

> If your endgoal is single-payer healthcare in the USA. Step 1 is getting Americans healthy again and I think we have hit a roadblock.

I fail to see the correlation here, Americans don't want single payer because there are powerful political voices that frankly tell some serious fibs about it (see your own comment above about the viability of single-payer). The food supply is a serious issue as well, but this is like arguing that everyone in the US just needs to start making six figures and that's how we'll end poverty. That's just not reality.

It works for a great deal of Software Development.
Good idea.

I do not agree that all news should be free, but am fine with only posting free links on HN.
I’m surprised to hear that Denmark has such a complex tax system.

That seems like something the US/UK would have so they can place infinite carve outs for special interest groups.
I'd agree, but only for journals funded with public money. Otherwise, no, news shouldn't necessarily be free. And this is not "news" exactly. Analysis articles cost money to produce and write, their authors should be allowed to ask for as much money as they see fair (just like how a webdesigner asks for as much as they see fit) then competition takes over and the free market does its thing.

Ban those journals that cut both ways in money making, but don't ban paywalled websites. Could possibly be a filter but then that's out of HN's scope. Your best option is to block them yourself (which I already do.)
They will coexist just fine, along with C, C++ and a lot of other old and new languages.
The funny thing is, most of those HN threads have a top comment with a link to an archived/visible copy of the article, making it easier to access that link than if found in other places.

Other than that, HN articles are upvoted to the front page, not there naturally, and if enough people are commenting/upvoting, I think that indicated it's worth sharing despite the paywall.

And sometimes the best discussion derives from the subject in the headline without any actual relation to the article itself, and I'd hate to lose out on that discussion due to rules or automatic filtering.

I know it's frustrating, and I'm been blocked out of reading those articles on HN a daily basis, but I still prefer the status quo to one where those subjects and deriving discussions never have a chance in the first place.
I shit you not, first click was Schitunato Lungo.

You don't host it, it ain't yours. This is why I've never really bought the whole "give us all your info on register" thing. Or most forms of metadata tracking.

This is also why I'm flabbergasted at the cavalier attitudes admins I've met have toward user privacy.
If you’re posting something you should have read it enough to give a synopsis for it. So head to the comments and give a breakdown of the key points. Ie the OP should have access to read whatever they post.

Yes this is “optimistic” thinking for the internet. But HN can definitely do better.
The US is currently dismantling their Post Office, which is required to be funded by their Constitution. In Canada, we have publicly funded news (the CBC) but one of the major political parties runs on a platform of destroying it every election.
The government funds a Supreme Court that rules to overturn its own legislation, often criticizing it in the process.
Designing Error Messages and a Logging Strategy in Node.js
I don't understand the excitement. How are they any different than all the reputable hosting services out there?
Why would private investors fund news criticizing them?
Isn't there some sensing system that works within roughly the inertial envelope and is mostly or even theoretically undetectable outside of it? You'd think the subs would have it.
Thanks. The first one seems to rely on the fact that aria2 can be remotely controlled. This is good, and in case of aria2 may be even the preferred way of using the combo, but it's not the substitute for the basic launching of one program from the other with some data passing.

The second one needs the "native client" which I mentioned above. It uses effing python to pass the link from the browser to the player! It's a workaround and an ugly complication. The more I use technology the more I come to despise those levels of software strata solving the problem the lower layers introduced for disputable reasons.
Wow. Thank you for posting this. It looks like a fantastic resource
I think it is good faith because it points out the unintended consequences of the action that OP advocates: quality journalism goes underfunded and the cohesion of society suffers —- unless there is also a proposal for how to differently fund journalism.
Mainly the price, Hetzner is much cheaper. But you don't get all the other features from AWS. So if you only need EC2 and EBS you should probably use Hetzner and will save a lot of money.
I do not know what you mean by codifying, but the government actually sets all the rules and codes via Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and uses the insurance companies (better referred to as managed care organizations) to implement all the rules.
Donor funded news exists.
So should be quoting HN rules without explaining exactly and very specifically how and what you're referencing applies.
> a middleman in the communication of applications and the compositor

There's an implicit assumption here, that one is even using a compositing window manager. I'm guessing that you do, and that's cool -- you do you! But there are lots of people, who, when sitting down at a fresh install of any operating system, start by turning off all the 3d/transparency/drop shadow/animation/eye candy they can find. I'm one of them, and about half of my peers do as well.

The first thing I do on Android is disable all the useless (imho) animations and effects, the same on Windows (back when I used Windows), and on Debian, where I have real control, the last time I saw a compositing window manager was I think 2006. I remarked "Ok. I guess this is for people who want their Linux to look like a Mac" and then promptly removed it. I have nothing against people wanting eye candy! Eye candy sells! But... don't pretend that it's a necessary, or even important feature.

> you can’t have displays with different DPIs

This is factually not true. Right now I'm sitting in front of a thinkpad connected to two monitors, all 3 displays have different DPIs. I can drag my windows around between them just fine. Everything works. I'm happy.

What I think you mean is "Wayland supports point based instead of pixel based rendering", or "Wayland does image resampling for you, making it easier for people who don't want to use native resolution" (I don't know Wayland internals).

Anyway, I think this whole comment thread is both educational and disturbing. :/ There appears to be two camps, both of which are incorrectly assuming that everyone else thinks like them. I'm guilty of this as well.
Other than the comment about security, and use on embedded environments, all of the "features" that Wayland offers (according to these comments) are, from my perspective, things I would turn off because they'd get in the way.

And I will follow your suggestion, and sometime soon set up a VM, and try to install Wayland and whatever the current whiz bang desktop environment is.
I would prefer a paywall flag over an outright ban. News should be free, but we also shouldn’t be ignorant of what’s going on in the world.

Ideally (for me) the system would be something like this:

-Primary source is used with Paywall flag, and submissions under this flag decay off the front page faster unless there is engagement

-HN culture that rewards users with finding alternative free reporting

-HN culture that rewards users with providing a good high-level summary of paywalled material
I'm not sure why you are unwilling to provide "exposure" to content that is worthy of being on Hacker News?
> may be decimal, octal, or hexadecimal, as specified in the C language (i.e., a leading 0x or 0X implies hexadecimal; otherwise, a leading 0 implies octal; otherwise, the number is interpreted as decimal)

I really want this convention to die.
Very true. There are probably millions of people making a living off this craziness. It will be very hard to fix this without stepping on the toes of a lot of people.

That's easy. They live in the world where Twitter feeds the careers of journalists but Facebook eats into the advertising income that funds them. Either by being one of the journalists who spend all their time on Twitter or by having their worldview formed by the reporting of those who are.
I use "lynx -dump URL | vim -" so I can read the text with vim keybinding. :)

I have it as a shell function called "l" so I can invoke it with "l URL".
This is a bad idea imo.

If not anything the comments are valuable. More than once I subscribed to something based on a article I found on HN.

(also usually someone posts a non-paywalled link)
Agree on all counts except I believe the hash operates on the input bytes only once, along the lines of:

HashValue = HashRound(HashRound(NothingUpSleeveSeed, BytesCount), Bytes)

Then computing the other hashes just use one more round HashRound(HashValue, Index) for each Index. The rounds are just aesdec instructions.

He calls this “pelican hashing” which is presumably some reference to the hashing literature, I’m not familiar.
At least for heap allocations that's taken care of by the 'General Purpose Allocator'. AFAIK it's still possible to return a dangling reference to stack memory though, but this should be fixable without going full Rust, even C compilers have a warning for this nowadays.
What are the differences from WeBlate?
This needs to be inverted: crypto thought it could kill banks, institutions, trust itself. None of those things is actually true In practice, and to be successful at scale it's going to become integrated and enmeshed with all of the things that it ideologically sought to circumvent.

Customers are waving their money around demanding to buy crypto assets. If you were a bank or a brokerage what would you do?
The australian system is an interesting one. It has a public level of service and then once you reach a certain income level they push you into private health care and off the publics balance sheet. Ive always been curious if there exists to levels of care.

Either way getting health care without paying the bill has its perks. I do think absolutely free health care allows for abuse of the system. Small copay might make sense (for people who can afford it). Not to dissimilar to tech companies charging a nominal fee for food at lunch to reduce waste.
It's sarcasm, not bad faith.

I made a diagram like this for a test automation system inside the firewall that talks to cloud providers. Using Graphviz (DOT), it was challenging to depict the system faithfully without a maze of lines from nodes on one side of the graph to the other.

I agree with the sentiment of defining a graph in code, but I really wanted to give it a nudge from time to time, like swap these two nodes so the arrows don't cross. I'm only an occasional user, so maybe there are ways to do it.

Framing Zillow v residential buyers as some efficient market where Zillow is
competing like anyone else and not only that, providing critical liquidity via DMM capabilities (designated market maker) is absurd on multiple levels.

DMMs operate on exchanges with membership licenses and a galaxy of exchange regulations, especially around price moves. Zillow and the open real estate market has none of that. Similarly, a DMM would not outbid and market capture the way Zillow does. Another one you wouldn’t see on an exchange with DMMs is the army of debt financing behind Zillow vs what’s behind retail purchasers. Explaining beyond that how framing Zillow as a DMM is a cherrypicked approach with no basis in real estate market reality is not worth the time. It’s really a nothingburger of an approach that comes off as a quote from a Rand book.

At its core, a DMM provides liquidity. Zillow buying real estate, taking it off the market for a month to renovate and flip at a higher price, is not that.
I disagree that news should be free, but the present situation is crazy. I'd pay a healthy (~$50?) amount of money per month if there was something that just worked in my browser and paid serious news orgs some percentage of my money without me having to download some stupid news app.

I've signed up for various online news sources before, but the experience still sucks because only 0.5% of the news links on places like HN were covered by the subscription.
Your ISP or some intermediate router is blocking it

Try visiting it using Tor
It actually also works for a large amount of journalism.

There is also a fair amount of journalism that is being self funded now.
If more of our doctors cared about people more than money, and kept nutritionists on staff, it might make a dent in things. So I find that it is a healthcare issue. Here, on HN, and in the industries that many of us work in, we have a lot of knowledge and understanding about our own bodies and the care of them. But a large portion of the populace lack that! For some people, nutritional advice would fall on deaf ears, but there are some people as well who, if told by a true expert, "Here is a diet plan. If you follow it closely you won't be so out of breath when you go upstairs. Your ankles and knees won't hurt constantly. You'll be able to keep up with your grandkids better. You'll live longer (on average!)."

If told they would actually do it, and improvements would be made.
Tagging the paid links is an easy compromise that doesnt result in banning anything. However, it does make me wonder, if the publisher effectively banned me from their content, why should there not be a quid pro quo on behalf of the drivers of clicks. Does anybody know of any instances where a publisher acknowledges that HN sends a fair bit of traffic their way, and when a link is referred via HN it bypasses the wall entirely? That would be smart, and respectful.
