It's curious and pleasant to see some people taking a stance on this issue, by exploring other venues apart from YouTube.

For example, Luke Smith hosts many of his videos over on Odysee nowadays: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Luke:7

Also, Bryan Lunduke also moved over to Locals and has generally expressed that it's a more pleasant community: https://lunduke.locals.com/

Of course, i don't doubt that it's akin to financial suicide for anyone who relies on YouTube as their main source of income, but if nothing else, it's nice to see people standing up for their principles, instead of selling out and trying to build their platform on another site that can end their presence at will.

I guess only time will show whether there ever will be any financially feasible alternatives to YouTube, though.
That doesn't work if they use your billing address, unless your billing address is in CA, in which case you're probably located there anyway.
Agreed, it's a whole new git based workflow. When I was doing full stack applications 10 years ago, it looked similar in some ways, but it was a lot different to me. I also had to care much more about servers. CDN caching is just one feature.
I’m inclined to believe that we’re doing it a fair bit more now than in the past.
Jeff - you mentioned "Pi's bus being only Gen 2 and x1".

Do you see a linear scaling if those interfaces on the Pi are improved - i.e. is there anything else that looks like a near-term bottleneck if those are improved?

Great article - I love watching your youtube channel as well
My thought exactly!
I have used TypeScript for config in a few projects, with node-config[1], and it’s substantially better IME than JSON/YAML/etc. Yeah it’s unconventional to write configs in a general purpose language, and I understand why that would be undesirable. But having configs validated at compile time is great at preventing bugs.

I’m not sure I’d recommend node-config (it was chosen by a past team). Its magic undermines the confidence in type safety provided by choosing TypeScript in the first place. But it does give some good baseline conventions one can apply without all the magic.

When I was in college, (1991-1995) I use to enjoy running finger on the unix terminals at the library and reading everyone's .plan. It was popular to put ASCII art in your .plan which I always enjoyed. I collected all that ASCII art and, in 1994, made a website that featured all of it. It no longer has my college URL anymore, but it's still online and gets a respectable amount of daily traffic. (Although interest in ASCII art has steadily waned, since fixed width fonts aren't really a thing on mobile devices.)

If I remember correctly, you could also finger some of the soda machines on campus and check their inventory.
The real story (in my opinion) behind Ivermectin are the studies not being conducted. Here you have a ton of studies claiming to have found benefit with a worldwide, massively available drug that has practically zero risks for most people (and it's an extremely well understood drug) and we don't have first world countries conducting RCTs to understand it better.

So you have to ask yourself - when do we get high quality RCTs, who funds them and why? This to me is a clear cut indicator that we have very maligned incentives for health science. How can we be this far into a global pandemic, with all of this funding and not have multiple high quality RCTs on this drug? It's sad to say the least. Even if Ivermectin ends up being fairly weak or completely ineffective - surely there's something to learn here...
I've been saying this all along. The leopard can't change its spots that easily. Micro$oft is still Micro$oft, despite so many people's wishful thinking to the contrary.

Time for Linux developers to buckle down, rally behind standards that third-party developers can count on, and give the world a better platform that respects the user...because we know none of the big players will do that.
We have the absolute worst of this world. If you leave a red light and travel near the speed limit (+/- 15mph) you _will_ catch the next red light. You can absolutely floor it and catch up with the next "pack" of cars and make it into the green light but you will be at the pack for the next light which will be red.

I hate it. I hate it so much. Travelling down an avenue for 3 or 4 miles is just painful. The worst is when there is zero traffic (say 10:30 at night) and you sit at red lights watching nobody pass.
FWIW, https://www.mailaletter.com can do certified w/ return receipt, and there's also a service called Trim (https://www.asktrim.com) that can do cancellations for you. In my experience, some companies have explicit policy to not accept cancellation requests on your behalf from Trim, but it works for many.
There's a thread not too far from this one where people are complaining about the difficulty of cancelling subscriptions to their gyms. I'm sure the gyms use similar reasoning.
The new bioplastic is only used on flexible parts like vegetation. Most bricks are still made from ABS (although they're continuing to prototype other plastics)
What we learned from analyzing 295,000 years of developer commit history
In Poland it's similar (you can only work for yourself). It's not even taxed (don't know why).
I guess NL and CZ has most liberal laws in this case.
I eventually opened a case with VISA to get them to stop payment to the Wall Street Journal because every time I called to cancel, I got a message that their call centers were closed due to COVID. As far as I can tell there was literally no way to cancel for several months during 2020. I do enjoy their reporting as a more right-leaning alternative to the New York Times but I have learned my lesson and will never again subscribe to WSJ.

Meanwhile, the I have cancelled the NYT several times relatively painlessly (via online chat) and even been offered a discount to remain a subscriber, which I view as a much more consumer-friendly retention tactic.

If anyone from WSJ reads this (unlikely, ha), you should know that it does not matter how good your reporting is - if you use predatory tactics to prevent cancellations you will turn off many potential readers simply out of principle.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the point of "should"? Usually anything that is not a hard requirement is promptly ignored, so I'm not clear why is time devoted to create "should" statements.
Honestly, I still did want to work there and they said they would reach out next time a position opened up but this never happened or got lost in the shuffle. I probably should have taken it upon myself to reach out to them and that's a failure on my part for sure.
Netlify?

I'm in a similar position as I want to stand up a blog and just want something simple that works OOTB. I'm an infra guy and don't want to write Javascript.
Replay.io Windows Beta
I have never used it, sorry. But good luck in your journey!
Just last week I moved two of my personal projects from GitLab to GitHub just so I could use Pages for them.

If only I'd waited one more week...
It’s really cheap when you add the risks. Apple replaced the battery in my 6s about three years back and it didn’t work afterwards. If this was an independent phone shop they’d give it back and make an excuse or try and sell you another hooky handset. Apple gave me a brand new untouched 6s handset instead.
The EU has been attacking encryption for years. To attack the browser's root certificates does not seem out of character.

Deeply worrying, yes, but not unexpected.
To be honest I don't care that much, I would find much more useful that you understood the rules of a community you are taking part of.
Is substance abuse not more common in the more rural communities though? Is it not just a 'grass is greener' effect?
YMMV, but we have a four year old daughter and have liberally allowed screen time throughout her life with some minor restrictions via parental controls.

She's learned so much from the content. We're a non-english home and a lot of her early english words/conversations were absorbed from Word Party (Netflix). Additionally we've found that Daniel Tiger via the PBS app is a great children's show. She also has a couple educational games (Khan Academy, etc) and she's really excited whenever she learns something new.

Contrast that to my upbringing where I wasn't allowed to watch tv or use the computer at all until High School, and only with strict supervision. For a long time I was able unable to control myself as I had never developed that skillset. My daughter is already controlling herself and has lots of other interests where too much "screen time" hasn't been a problem. I think she doesn't view screen time isn't a limited resource contrasted to some of her friends where "screen time" has now become a scheduled and limited part of their day.

All that being said, each child is incredibly different and I'm sure our son will have a radically different set of challenges.
Can you link to this article? A lot of people consider it a serious newspaper still so there is an apparent disconnect here.
Until the Tories and nationalists that pushed Brexit face consequences, you can still argue the public has their head in the sand.
I am surprised at the prominence of ™, ® and ©. Are they commonly used when typing in french, or is this likely an issue with the sources they used? e.g. source code with copyright notices, etc.

Theres also (to my mind) some oddities around the inconsistencies around é and É, and ù and Ù where they use different modifier keys to choose the upper and lower case variations.

Tilde ~ was removed?
Ezh ʒ was added?

No doubt its better now you actually have the keys you need available for the language itself - but maybe it needed a bit of curation as to their selection and consistent modifier-key selection?
We see a face with an (albeit fake) emotional reaction, our monkey brains say "that must be interesting!"

It's very stupid, but not surprising that those videos get more engagement.
Cython, pypy, micropython, nuitka, shedskin, ironpython, graalpython, jython, mypyc, pyjs, skuptjs, brython, activepython, stackless, transcrypt, cinder and many more I don't remember.

They're all practically useless or delegated to specific tasks. At this point you'd need to present incredible evidence that an alternative compiler can be useful. Personally I find it comical how many developers are still eluded by a promise of performant python. I hope you achieve your goals, good luck.
Why is it ok for an american company to collude with foreign politics?

Can't they focus on their broken system first?
Am I reading this wrong or do they just think they can steal the trademark because they're bigger? Now that I think about it, looks like they ripped off his logo too...
My favorite is sponsorblock. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/
That was my first though too, but recently he did a talk pouring a lot of cold water on VR hype, so he's at least less full of shit than much of the VR crowd: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/10/john-carmack-sounds-a...
I understand part of the motivation for Brexit was to have the freedom to make independent choices for various laws.

It makes sense in theory, however, if I look at the actual changes where UK has now diverged from EU laws like this one, those changes seem bad for the UK public (in order to benefit e.g. banks), and it turns out this freedom for politicians to do whatever they want somehow results in even less accountability to the interests of British public than the unelected unaccountable Brussels officials cut off by Brexit. Sad.
Major sites (The New York Times, for one, and the BBC, for another) have been doing this for "interactive stories," for a while now.

In some cases, I like it. In others; not so much.
The industry has not "chosen" to not do what T-Wand does, the industry did not have that option because T-Wand just comes out. Now with T-Wand, the industry has that choice to make.

It is easy to implement T-Wand in the existing Lucene code base, and I would hope so. Otherwise, it would be a shame.
> The question not being asked is how your audience changes A vs B in other ways than size.

That's not how it works.

The most important factor to get views on YouTube is the recommendation algorithm. It makes a huge difference. YouTube will not even push your videos to people who are subscribed to you if the recommendation algorithm doesn't favor them.

As the click-through rate is an important part of how the algorithm decides what to recommend, you need a catchy thumbnail and a somewhat clickbaity title or you will be reduced to oblivion by people who use one regardless of the actual quality of your content. The story is the same with the length of video.

Veritasium made a couple of very good videos on the issue if you are interested.
Wouldn't that just lead to centralization anyway? If X reward is being dished out per server, why not scale your 1 server to several hundred, and hoover up all the rewards? You could then offer to host other people's apps, and give them a fraction of the tokens you got in return?
SIM swap is not a problem in other developed nations where everyone is using a government ID. Still SMS based 2fa has many other problems.
Everyone is responding with quotes from IETF and ISO documents. But this is a legal context, and it is not necessarily the case that they have the same technical meaning. I too wonder what the answer to your question is.
If there are people who understand how to build the replacement. This is a degenerative spiral. I'll be wrong for ten years and then all of a sudden? There's no one around to Superman in and save the day.
Maybe.. it's the way it was implemented for what passes as a Government here (in the UK). It would've been better to keep the Common Market and just ditch the unelected Brussels bureaucrats. I've heard that Poland and France are making *exit noises too...
I think Match got sued for this, they go out of their way to stop you from canceling since as a business practice they'll show you bot messages before you sign up. Once you give them 40$ or whatever then you'll immediately see all your matches are fake.

This alone is already a problem, but then canceling is deliberately made difficult.

The problem is they've ( via their child brands like Tinder as well) made billions doing this. If you can run a business, make 10 billion dollars and then pay a 10 million dollar fine, you'll just pay the fines.

I don't have a good solution to this. I personally refuse to give my money to or work for companies in this space.
Hi. I am absolutely a dyed-in-the-wool JetBrains "fanboi", but I need to counter this statement: <<Java support is, unfortunately, iffy in every editor that isn't made by JetBrains.>>

Both Eclipse and NetBeans are outstanding (and free) Java IDEs. To be clear: I write this as someone who does not make extensive use of plug-ins with IntelliJ. I am almost exclusively using the default plug-ins provided by JetBrains. For many, many years, NetBeans was (enviably) considered the Gold Standard for Java Swing GUI design that was drag-and-drop. I knew developers who used NetBeans only for GUI design, then IntelliJ or Eclipse for other work!

Finallly, I have never used Visual Studio Code, but I also assume -- at this point -- that it is very good with Java. The speed at which their community has grown is simply breathtaking.

I am interested to hear from other people if this agree or disagree with me.
project-based / depth first learning is a better approach; you will simply implement what you need to from the platonic algorithms rather than mindlessly go through the tasks
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search

Set to 0 the following keys (add them if needed)

- BingSearchEnabled (DWORD)

- CortanaConsent (DWORD)

I've been running w/ those since Windows 1903, and that's why I don't care about all those Edge shenanigans (except the default browser switcher).

All those sub-par web experiences in the Windows Shell are tiresome. Taskbar search breaking because of internet issues tops it all off nicely.
9 yo. Gets 90 min of TV/movie time on the weekend days (45+45)

For all other uses (morning/afternoon responsibilities/chores done first). Has to write a log of start time/purpose (max 45 minutes at a time) . No browsing (Search + single article is okay).

The logging part my wife came up with is great, it helps with responsible use and requires thinking/planning first. (Good as a mental gate - it asks, do I really need to use it?)

2010's GoDaddy, is that you? They used to pull this, then you would stay on the phone seemingly forever until you got a (the?) CSR that would first try the carrot of more services for free if you just re-upped then tried to browbeat you into the deal if you still weren't convinced. Also, the New York times did this, I think you can cancel online now. There should be multiple ways people can sub/unsub, but if you sub in one manner, you should be able to unsub in the same manner without jumping through hoops.
probably though not massively if it's the odd site; very likely if it'a all sites. Not massively if it's the odd element in a page, very likely if it's all elements in the page.
But perhaps more importantly the smoothness of the UI on scroll might be negatively impacted - and there is a lot of up and down scrolling in the mobile world, isn't there?

in other words, not everyone has an iphone 13 or other android-based extremely high-end mobile device at their disposal.
Wow. Maybe I'll actually try this. I've wanted to subscribe at various points but knew it would be basically impossible to cancel so never bothered
I'm personally fine with the term nubs and know exactly what you mean.

In some AFOL circles, they'll jump down your throat for not using the "correct" term "stud". The canonical term for the "flat-topped" is tile.

My personal gripe is just the explosion of special purpose pieces that Lego vends today. Less is more Lego.
Yeah, I’m sure they’ll figure it out - it’s a tricky situation, but not an impossible one. Many, many people are in far worse situations with this flooding, e.g. having their homes or businesses flooded.

Just wanted to share a personal example of why I strongly disagreed with this comment:

> So while it sounds noteworthy for an entire city be technically flooded in, unless you were driving to the boonies, you're probably not actually impacted in any meaningful way.
totally agree. my wife's family is all in construction or painters, or working as bar tenders or at beauty salons etc. no health insurance, no ESPP/RSU/401k/FSA/PTO/blah blahs. every time someone politely says "hows work, what are you working on?" its pretty hard not to sound like a jackass when i complain about stuff like endless meetings, murky requirements, etc. my brother in law is always amazed that i can do my entire job on a computer as he's cutting wood and putting up fences.

i remember one time i was on vacation in costa rica and on a zip line tour. guy asks me where im from what i do. he said "oh man that's the dream, you just sit in a chair in the air conditioning all day? you don't know how lucky you have it!" and this dude runs zip line tours in costa rica.

I am a power windows user and its such a shame ( on my end ) that I did not have a clue that Windows 10 LTSC existed till recently. I was quite happy with the Windows 10 PRO version, wanted to check out WIN 11, installed it, it started giving me the dreaded memory leak issue ( on AMD currently ) when opening windows explorer. Tried to revert back to windows 10 but the option was greyed out ( 10 days is the max time to revert back to Windows 10 ). Got to know about Windows 10 LTSC version, activated it with KMS and its snappy as f, no Ads, no Microsoft Store, no cortana, no bullshit. Basically the version people should've gotten in the first place.
Have you actually run into developers who think "serverless" means there is no server anywhere? Does anyone think "cloud" means there are no servers? I think -- and maybe I'm wrong -- it's obvious that of course there's a server, it's just not mine to care for.
Ask HN: Would You Work for Amazon?
I have recruiters reaching out weekly now for the past month - they're ramping up, I guess. I'm also in their hometown.

I always heard it was a rough/tough environment to work, long hours and it all comes down on your annual review. Equity is great though.

Roles are for devops, that's what interests me outside a general SDE role.
What is evil about using the offered warranty?
At what point do you see this starting? I certainly don’t expect or trust a 3 year old to act as responsibly as I do

And I’m already a fairly irresponsible person.
That was exactly the feeling I had. I actually thought it was a very interesting article about the life of an oil rig worker. Suddenly, and in a throwaway fashion, we get a rumor about some unfortunate man and that's all. If this was meant to be an article about divorce, why wasn't there more divorce-related material? If this was supposed to be about oil rigs, why not focus on that and change the title? Very jarring experience all-around.

I remember about 15 years ago, I signed up for Real Rhapsody's unlimited music service. I tried it for about two months, didn't like it, and found that canceling required me call them on a weekday during business hours (ending at 4pm eastern). I was still in high school at the time, and this is pre-smartphone so it would have been hard for me to do this during lunch, so it was pretty hard for me to cancel. Eventually I had to ask my mom to impersonate me, call them, and cancel it, but it was an idiotic thing. How uncomfortable are you that users will like your service if you have to trick them into staying subscribed?

Granted, it was the Real corporation, I really should have seen crap like that coming.
I do love that this is literally old man yells at the cloud.

Though in general our profession is built on and about building abstractions.

I don’t expect every 2010s web dev to know the intricacies of memory allocation, nor do I expect every 2020s web dev to know about nginx config or asset cache invalidation.

It’s handy sure, but required no. They’re all abstractions that you learn if and when necessary.
Fair enough. I certainly know nothing about you, and we are both making assumptions about the other. Lacking context, it’s easy to stumble on our tongues.
No it doesn't, it has the same uses than in english and therefore the same frequency of uses.
My money is on https://cuelang.org in this space.

As I understand it it's essentially the Google Configuration Language (GCL) author responding to Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL), with language development modeled after Golang. Still in early stages but very promising.
> SMS based 2fa has many other problems

What are these problems? It will be great if you can list some of them, I'd like to read more in detail.
I can relate to all your experiences. Swarm has such a nice learning curve and I wish it would still be used widely.

With K8s I guess we are between a really decent (!) documentation that doesn't work very well as a "tutorial", and third party resources that does that.

It does make things harder at the beginning, but is still much better then, say, Hashicorps docs: "here is a cool starting tutorial that covers basics you'll need for the first 30 minutes. That is all, look other things up in the code". For a longer while I felt this was the case with Vault or Consul.
The CDC estimates that _at least_ 30% of all anti-biotic prescriptions are inappropriately prescribed. I'd wager an over-prescription of Ivermectin (that by some unknown characteristic appears it would save massive numbers of lives) isn't likely to evolve parasites (which evolve much more slowly than bacteria to begin with) to be resistant in a dangerously meaningful way given what we see with bacteria resistance.

This is of course just a gut feeling and not a studied understanding.
Been waiting for years for startups to start paying users to join
