I think it's also because ham radio is supposed to be shared experimentation. Part of this is hearing someone trying something out and replying.

If everyone starts chatting with their friends on encrypted channels, we don't really have a community anymore. It was never meant to be a private chatbox.

I think it should be a bit less rigid in this day and age though. For example it should be allowed to use encryption for authentication purposes IMO. It's too easy now on digital modes to fake someone's callsign. Brandmeister has built some cool stuff with one time password but more complex authentication mechanisms aren't allowed. Apparently the FCC allows an exception for this but not every country does.
If you're going to plunge into team Forth development, you probably should somehow scramble to have some experts, right? If you can't find them, make it the mission of some existing devs to become experts. If you have people who are experts in anything else, including the fact that they are experts, those would be good candidates.
This seems like a false dichotomy.

Transgender woman, is a biological (is this the correct terminology?) That is transitioning to a woman. So a transgender man or trans man as I've heard referred to, is a biological female transitioning to a man. So yes they can get pregnant, because it's only very late in the process (and optional) to have a hysterectomy and a male genitals created. Many/some do not opt for this as the male genitals aren't really functional in the way you'd expect. They use a prosthetic instead.
Yeah, it seems like a small thing, but this immediately put me off the first time I tried out Snikket. All the spacing and sizing just feels janky and out-of-place compared to other iOS apps.

How would a new tech prove itself if manufacturers aren’t allowed to use it in their product? If customers aren’t allowed to try something new, they are never going to be able to determine if customers prefer it.

The only way to ‘prove’ that a tech is better than another is by letting the market decide.
Nice read, I had never heard of Chet Baker before. I wonder if his style* is at all responsible for the current trend of the depressed-sounding pop singer. Billie Eilish comes to mind, but there are plenty of them. It's like someone dragged them out of bed into the studio against their will, so their passive-aggressive response is to record the lowest-effort vocal performance possible.

* "His singing was softer still, often lingering just above a whisper."
The author did acknowledge what you say:

> The dictum is, ``Tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them.''

He is simply disagreeing with this advice. It's time honored, but people are allowed to have their opinions, and I tend to agree with him on this one.[1]

As an aside, I really dislike Powerpoint presentations that include a TOC[2] and simply repeat (almost verbatim) what they've already talked about. I will acknowledge that some people like this, so I don't complain about it. However, I do think there's a very good reason you don't find TED talks following this format.

[1] Or rather, I think it takes a lot of skill to follow this advice well, and most people simply repeat themselves in a trivial way, which I find pointless.

[2] The only thing it's good for is deciding if I want to listen to the talk at all (e.g. I expect an overview talk and see that the presenter is going to into more detail than I care for).

I disagree, I'm not framing it in any way that is special. No system is perfect, and that is a fact that's simultaneously obvious and boring. Everything we have ever done is flawed in some respect or another. There will always be edge cases or things we didn't think of. We can learn from our mistakes (hopefully), but we cannot eliminate them. I don't know what you consider "solved" when you use the term, but I can assure you that if its a man-made system, it will have flaws. Clearly we're not agreeing on the definition, and that is fair. No point arguing over that, so we'll just agree to disagree. We likely have more things we agree on than not anyway.

To me, its actually very good that people have different opinions on 'right to repair'. Why do you wish to homogenize the term? There should be multiple voices at the table, including ones from the industry. I don't know what you mean by "don't concretely define their goals". Its possible you haven't gone out of your way to look but they are clearly defined here:

My point is that applications themselves overriding URI protocols (that already have an app set) is an anti-pattern; in my opinion, MacOS' "Use Chrome/Keep Safari" prompt is the best way to handle this, as it allows the browser to prompt for change while ultimately letting the user choose. This would help in general, even for other protocols like https or mailto.

I've used GH for code review so I'm not sure what's missing there, either. Reading this whole comment section leaves me a bit confused, like I'm the only one using a hammer to pound in screws when everyone else has moved on to a screwdriver.
The way it used to work was that the upload went into a copy of the website, ideally created on a COW (copy-on-write) filesystem to avoid copying files that hadn’t changed and then you would change an alias or hard link to point to the new upload after confirming it was all there. Existing transactions would continue using the PHP code or whatnot stored in a cache (e.g. xcache or apc cache, but the new code could be read in and then new incoming requests could switch over so the new code starts serving new incoming requests when the new page cache is primed. Fancy configurations might use sessions for this, if there was shared session state to migrate. That said… most of the time, most folks didn’t think much of the occasional 500 as something new deploys. After all, you refresh and it’s gone, most of the time. And your internet or computer or browser is often as much to blame for problems as the website deploy, if it affects very few users during infrequent deploys of changed pages. The more fun task was what to do about database migrations. The traditional approach is “just take the site down for a minute, nobody cares,” as I said…
I've been a working pro for nearly 35 years. One feature I would love is a shortened shutter response mode. Something akin to 6ms response from shutter trigger (this has nothing to with shutter speed). Canon actually built a camera like this in the film days - The Canon EOS RT and EOS 1N RS. It used a pellicle prism so no mirror had to be lifted out of the way to make an exposure.

Why would anyone want this? Let me show you how I photograph wild bats in flight at night. I have many other use cases. For now I have to mount a shutter on the front of my lens to gain back the shutter response that i use to utilize from these film cameras of old.

Almost every subscription is priced to whatever the market will bear and not an actual unit cost plus fixed margin. Our services are digital. It costs us $XX million to operate all the services we do and next to nothing to serve that a single user. In fact we give 99% of our services away for free and only ask for donations of whatever they care to give. Most donors don't actually get anything in return for their money.

but they didn’t offer a security or investment contract, they offered a token that gives holders a form of governance/voting.

You are saying you offered a suggested oath to “avoid unnecessary tech”, but you removed the concept of a voting right for a security.

There is plenty of precedent of the SEC responding favorably to “no action letter requests” without requiring registration when organizations publicly offer voting/governance rights in exchange for money.
> it confuses me because isn’t inflation supposed to be the increase of price of everything due to something other than practical, on-the-ground market problems?

No, inflation can be caused by practical, on-the-ground market problems too.

> Inflation is the term used to describe a rise of average prices through the economy. It means that money is losing its value.

> The underlying cause is usually that too much money is available to purchase too few goods and services, or that demand in the
economy is outpacing supply. In general, this situation occurs when an economy is so buoyant that there are widespread shortages
of labour and materials. People can charge higher prices for the same goods or services.

> Inflation can also be caused by a rise in the prices of imported commodities, such as oil. However, this sort of inflation is usually
transient, and less crucial than the structural inflation caused by an over-supply of money.
but they didn’t offer a security or investment contract, they offered a token that gives holders a form of governance/voting.

You are saying you offered a suggested path to “avoid unnecessary tech”, but you removed the concept of a voting right for a security by suggesting they could have offered interest in an LLC.

I consult with startups a lot and routinely program in a variety of programming languages -- C++, Java, Swift, Kotlin, JS/NodeJS, Python, Ruby, PHP and a bunch of bash,awk,sed and perl. Most of these languages have been evolving to support most modern programming styles and have package ecosystems that are well managed and relatively easy to use.

The point is not to prove that one language is better. For the most part, for web development, there isn't much difference in productivity for a programmer competent in the language between (JS/NodeJS, PHP, Python and Ruby) Java is a little more heavyweight for pure web development but if you have a bunch of backend services that need to be reliable you will find the type system to be of help.)

What is more important for productivity is a deep familiarity with the frameworks, and tools -- the IDEs CI systems etc. that you need to build and deploy your solution.

The other important thing is the ease with which you can hire programmers for that language in your market. Here in India finding PHP programmers is easier than say finding Kotlin programmers but harder than finding Java programmers. But that is not the case in other markets like the US. There is also the issue of perception of candidates. If like you, a large majority of candidates think the language is legacy, you'll end up having to pay more to hire them (because they will be harder to find -- most of the extra cost will be search costs not salary costs.)

To the extent that the PHP community can convince folks that it is not a legacy language (and it really isn't) that is good for not just the language but the overall tech community. And this article furthers that goal well.
Uber is aware of this. They have taken explicit steps to protect their drivers "privacy" against police requests for data, even given investigation #s and warrants . I don't really understand what their motivation is, but my experience in the brief period I worked there is that they're lead by scummy people. They do not take reports of crimes seriously.
Hm, that reminds me -- the convention in the nand2tetris course (where you virtually build a computer and OS from circuit) was that your programs don't halt either, at the level of the machine code, you just send them into a (small) infinite loop.

Weirdly I find "legibility" a little ... reductionist.

It's super-easy to identify the problems with e.g. Stalinism or modern China along these lines. The problem is that humanity is constantly failing in far more chaotic ways too, and what a surprise those are more associated with anarchist capitalism or imperialism, but since they don't reduce to a nice formula you get this somewhat smug analysis of human behavior. Where is the "legibility" problem of the US invasion of Vietnam for instance? There is none because the interests (contain China, destabilize the region) were quite clear, and were achieved, despite the US "losing" the war.

(I'm also really sick of the "Gervais Principle" blather so that may be biasing me against the ribbonfarm blog though)
Perhaps this is a regional difference, but you might be confusing the suicide hotline with a petition for involuntary admission. The suicide hotline provides someone to talk to. The person might not even know your name or address. What you’ve described is involuntary admission. Any adult can petition for another person to be brought to a hospital and evaluated, but the hospital decides if the person is admitted and/or placed on a 72 hour hold.
… and … on the other hand, actually going through with it, is about the biggest “f**k you” that can be given to a family.

This is something that I have had personal experience with, in family, friends, acquaintances, and even enemies, that I wished dead, then was not so thrilled, when my wish came true.

I hang out in circles that experience a lot of … “out of band” … issues. It’s a long story, and not one I feel like sharing on HN. Suffice it to say that I have seen this kind of stuff many, many times.

Getting treatment for mental health issues —and there are very many types of issues, and types of treatments— is important. One way to support people going through this stuff, is to avoid feeding the “shame machine,” and try to realize that we may not have the answers, so we can help people connect with those who do.
One of the many things needing overhauling in our mental health system. I avoided seeking help for a long time because I was interested in jobs that would likely require government security clearances, and (I don't know how true this is) I had heard from multiple sources that a history of seeking help for mental health issues may disqualify you. Which is a little backwards in practice. If there's an issue I want to address it and manage it. Because of my desire for those jobs, I let the problem fester for longer.

I also found when I finally broke down and sought help (not for suicide, granted) the process of trying to take advantage of my company's resources like paying for short-term counseling, etc. was incredibly frustrating. You couldn't get a hold of the people at the company we paid for the plan, everything on their site was outdated and badly maintained, they only covered certain therapists, and they happened to be therapists who make a point of specializing in treating pretty much anything with drugs, etc. Had I been on the edge of suicide or unable to eventually just pay for the care I needed directly, I can only imagine trying to navigate this process could've finished me off, emotionally.

> But it confuses me because isn’t inflation supposed to be the increase of price of everything due to something other than practical, on-the-ground market problems?

No, inflation (without qualifiers) is the increase in the price of final (consumer) goods. (Not “everything”, and irrespective of cause.)
The 500 pages per month rule may have made sense back when everything was actually on paper. But these days, just one DVD or flash drive could hold all 329,000 pages. I'm guessing that it's actually more work for them to split the release into 500-page segments than it would be to release them all at once, so I'm inclined to assume they're intentionally going at the slowest allowed rate because there's information in there that they'd rather keep to themselves forever.

But shouldn't requests like this complete still in a timely matter? If the government uses data that is under freedom of information but effectively doesn't allow people to go over the data, isn't that perversion of the idea of freedom of information?

An alternative is of course that we would treat requests by multiple people as more important, for example, if we assume that 1000 people requested these documents it would only take less than a month, but imho that's a huge slippery slope where information can effectively be hidden by inflating the size of it.

These are just suggestions, but what if you just told yourself, "hey, world, I need a break".

I know it's hard to find time for yourself. But what if you did it at night? Your wife and kid, they're both asleep and you've already decided, tomorrow is going to be a sick day, this is my time, and so you put on Real Steel and just become immersed?

After that, watch another one. Or a whole series on Netflix. Turn that day upside down. Then, when you wake up, you'll feel like a different person.
Nonviolent Communication, the concept and the book that teaches it, gives practical guidance on how to avoid falling into this trap. Highly recommended.
there are LOTS of single player games. I explicitly do not play multiplayer games unless they are cooperative, and even in those cases, I play alone.

Does anyone make a "glass house" TPM? As in, a device that you can plug in to your motherboard's TPM port that implements the complete TPM 2.0 protocol, that looks/acts/feels like a real TPM, but then deliberately includes a side-channel like a USB port or something that gives a user full access to the TPM internals (keys, registers, etc.).

Obviously you'd never use something like this for trusted boot, but with Windows 11 requiring a TPM, and applications moving in the direction of "we refuse to run unless the environment is pristine" (e.g. video games with anti-cheat features, banking apps), it seems that something like this might eventually be useful for getting around DRM and restoring our ability to run whatever we want on machines that we own.
