Every single one of the guidelines is there for a reason. In this case, like the guidelines say, complaining about voting makes for boring reading, adds no value, and actively makes HN worse - as do comments like your reply.

Interesting and useful reading: the first two paragraphs of your original comment.

Boring reading that detracts from the HN experience:

> Edit: I will never understand people that downvote a warning like this. But HN, you do you, I have karma to burn and if this warning helps one other person I’ll consider it worth it.

> ah yes, there's always that stickler for the "rules." What would we ever do without that person chiming in.

Alcohol advertising is already highly regulated compared to past decades. Smoking even more. Even professional magazines in the 60s and 70s used to have alcohol and cigarette ads every few pages. Not to mention that alcohol use was much less frowned upon at the workplace, especially in certain fields.
I guess it's fitting that a telescope named after a bureaucrat is years late and billions over budget.

GHB is a horrible alternative to alcohol. I really don't understand why you think that is not the case. GHB is highly addictive, dosing is hard, it's really unhealthy with long term use and is nearly impossible to stop doing once you're addicted.

In the Netherlands, the percentage of people that relapse after rehabilitating from GHB is the highest of all drugs, including alcohol.

I have never seen that on the table to be honest, certainly not on implementation language topics. There was some uncertainty with Java and licencing that I remember, but it is mostly about the issue on how to acquire talent.

People tend to be careful with Rust because it is a relatively young language. Many medium sized business don't have much capacity to experiment but would still try it without too much convincing.

Far more relevant it access to professionals that have experience with the language. That is something that grows very slowly. The JS community is pretty "expressive", but it is still a popular choice because you find a lot of people with experience here. My boss would expect all these nerds to behave badly anyway. I doubt he will ever change his opinion but the next generation might.
> This sound like a luddite that is against machines.

The luddites were not anti-tech from a moral perspective, but understood mechanization of work to profit the bosses and go against the interests of workers (artisans) and therefore practiced sabotage. Despite this initial mischaracterization, i believe the metaphor holds and the author is against this application of this technology precisely because they believe it produces a net negative impact across the ecosystem.
I still fall into that same trap. Oh wow these guys amazing (they probably are). But when you watch a presentation it has this weird effect of compressing what took them weeks/months/years to do into a 45 min presentation, making you feel really bad. I try to remind jr devs the same thing. I am showing you this thing I have been working on. They had no idea I was working on it. But suddenly I have hundreds of lines of code and it all 'just works'. It makes me look like a wizard to them. But I remind them I spent the past 4 months working on that thing, do not feel bad or stupid. It just takes time and failing thousands of times over and over.
Yup - JWST will be way high up in space, much farther away than the Moon and plenty far from the debris we talk about in low Earth orbit. The telescope actually orbits the Sun, not Earth, at a point called "Earth-Sun L2", which is a point in line with the Earth. L2 is one of 5 Lagrange points in the Earth-Sun system, which are special spots objects can orbit around (stably or unstably) without there being a central body.

> In simpler times, sugar content was a somewhat reliable metric of sweetness (of course it can be balanced by acid, tannins, salt etc.),

In simpler times, there were no labels to judge sugary content. The regulation in USA came in 2011. In simpler times, you bought the thing and did not cared about sugar at all. Later on, you engaged in culture war whether calories should be on labeling or whether such regulation is nanny statism.

Plus, I will go out and say that amount of people who would regularly check packages to learn how sweet it is and thus estimate taste before buying was super low. It is not a great proxy in the first place.

Soon we might have an option to avoid the extreme mass and size restrictions caused by having to squeeze the JWT on top of Ariane 5 - if/when Starship proves viable, then we could probably cut the cost of the telescope development by an order of magnitude by being able to choose a reasonable tradeoff instead of sacrificing everything (complexity, cost, reliability) just to cut down some weight and size.

There is no current interest by anyone in destroying science telescope rather than spy telescopes.

Also, the JWT is at L2, 1.5m km from earth, whereas ASAT tests generally occur in LEO. Cosmos 1408 as you mention orbited at around 500km.

Although I’m certain we could blow up the JWT if we really really wanted to.

Is Vercel a Netlify alternative mainly focused on React? I've been using Netlify a lot because I have been developing mostly in Vue and sometimes a bit using Nuxt.
What was most enticing to me (apart from free tier for personal projects, but I see Vercel has one too?) is that there were a lot of tutorials, guides how to setup CI/CD using Azure Devops/Github etc. So basically no matter what I have chosen there was neat guide for the system. I know that its nothing too complicated to create one from scratch but trying out new tools without documentation might be sometimes too bothersome and there are sometimes things that could take a lot of time to solve on your own. I hope you guys will also provide some guides how to integrate Vercel with existing projects on Azure Pipelines or other CI/CD alternatives. Would really want to try a compare.
>bullshit themselves about veganism for some reason

I think this is also the most likely reason because humans try to rationalize cognitive dissonance. But in the nature of the HN guidelines to try and take the strongest possible interpretation of someone's comments, I'll try to reframe it.

Suppose someone has a foundational principle that all animal life is sacred. Also suppose that person is a consequentialist. Following the first point, the life of an insect is every bit as valuable as the life of an elk*. It's easily conceivable to me that farming, in the current form that most of use get our food, kills many more animal lives per calorie than eating the elk. If one is a consequentialist, it doesn't matter if there was the specific intent to kill those thousands of insects (and fawns, and fish from runoff etc.), it only matters that my choice led to their deaths. Compare that to the hunting of the elk, where it's conceivable that only one life was lost. From that perspective, a vegetarian/vegan diet could be considered more detrimental to animal life.

(I specifically chose elk to avoid the complication of how much farming goes into livestock feed, but hopefully you understood the point)

If you're like me and don't necessarily agree with the above framework, it still highlights that most of us have unarticulated assumptions that may not hold as we go about our daily choices. E.g., even if people claim that they think all animal life is sacred, their actions display an assumption of a hierarchy to that value.
Say that again when you have three kids all going to different schools/daycares, and then need to get to work.

I agree. How do you draw the line. Does Slack have to integrate with Tinder or Whatsapp? And then there is the security issue of end-to-end encryption and the lowest common denominator. Basically the most insecure messaging app will be the attack vector. And there is no chance to have some form of security through obscurity if you are say a targeted journalist.
In some cases, they're very skinnable and the ugly theme is just the default. Both Winamp and Foobar2000 were extremely popular in the desktop customization community when it was at its height around 2004-2006ish for that reason.

It's also because most of these projects don't have dedicated designers working on them. So you end up with the "designed by developers" aesthetic and let's be honest: we developers generally suck at designing UIs.
Quite often, it's easier for recruiters to get at your email address from GitHub because it's increasingly difficult to scrape contact details off LinkedIn.

>It’s one thing to prioritize saving children from a burning building but not mice, and another to justify one’s decision to do so based on the neural complexity of children compared to mice. I don’t think killing a mouse is the moral equivalent of killing a child, but that’s me making a value judgment. I don’t need to cite a scientific (objective) criterion for this, such as how many neurons a child has, or whether or not it is conscious or has an ego (if such a thing is even scientific).

I mean, you certainly can go ahead and declare that that is how it works. Declaring that Its Not About Neurons is most definitely a statement you can make. That's step 1. Steps 2, 3, 4 etc are making arguments in support of that statement, explaining what the alternative basis for making moral judgments is based on, explaining why it's a better system, explaining how its meaningfully different and not just a restatement of what I said but with different words, etc.

You haven't done any of those things though. So this boils down to saying "no! it's not that! It's something else!" If we were using Graham's Argument Hierarchy[0], this would amount to DH3, which is Contradiction. It's one step better than DH2 (responding to tone), but it's one step worse than DH4 which is making a counterargument, which involves stating something else (contradiction) plus a layer of reasoning and/or evidence of some kind. In fact I would say this is barely even a contradiction, because contradiction means stating an alternative and I'm not even sure what the alternative is that you're stating.

>Suggesting that I’m saying species ought to be treated “equally” is the real straw man argument here

That was basically being put forward as a definition of speciesm that I was responding to, so I'm not sure how that's a straw man. If you can elaborate on what it means to value species differently but not have it count as speciesm, but not to it based on appealing to any biological information about species, but with something that is still a "moral judgment" differentiating species, I'm all ears. Let me remind you that you were using "deserve to suffer" as your idea of good faith characterization of the view you disagreed with, which is B-movie scifi villian, which to me qualifies it as a straw man.

>which is often extreme to the point where “torture” is an accurate description, is generally ignored.
>As an aside, we treat jellyfish far better than...

These are also beside the point. So the long and short of it is there's not really anything responsive here that I can respond to.

Yeah, I don't actually doubt that it was due to the Delta variant, I'm just pointing out that I don't actually have any evidence regarding that, and I'm not well informed regarding the pandemic in Cuba in particular. If there had been something else going on in Cuba, I wouldn't necessarily know about it. But I expect it was Delta.
The Creator app he runs on the Atari ST is a MIDI sequencer, not a DAW or sampler. The machine is probably not fast enough for realtime sampling. For sampling he is very well known for having used a pair of Akai S950s, each with 2.25MB of RAM. You can see them both on the rack behind him with the round yellow stickers. Just in case: this specific model also came out after most of the recording I mentioned.

Anyway, I was talking about 1986 and 1988... Rockefeller Skank was released in 1998. It's not exactly representative of a hip-hop setup from 12 years before. Either way, it is quite clear that he also samples from vinyl, like I said.

Anyway, I don't see how this is relevant to the topic. My point is that the sample was well known and was used in mainstream hip-hop from the beginning, it was never only an "underground secret distributed in disks"... that happened much later than the usage in hip-hop.

If there's any pre-1986 underground track using the Amen Break, or any documented use, it would be very interesting to know, because it would should be part of music history!
Is there a reason SELinux/AppArmor policies couldn't be live edited for that kind of purpose? As it is it would require root, but wouldn't it be possible to extend security rules with user rules which could add restrictions but not lift system-wide restrictions? This (hypothetical) way we'd package eg. GIMP with a user profile restricting it to ~/Documents and /media/USERNAME, but you could then grant it additional permissions (eg. to ~/Pictures).
I didn't realise how precise the reflections from retro-reflective materials were. I'd always just thought they were for high vis gear, cool to see such a creative use for them here!

This is related to a previous post on weather data API (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28595623), providing hourly weather data for any location in the world from 1950 onwards.

We've added a simple UI tool to download data to CSV to make it easier for users to download the data. You can download up to 6 months of data and up to 5 parameters at a time without signing up.

The UI is quite rudimentary and doesn't have the polished look of modern web app (created with Python Bokeh) but it does allow one to access weather data from terabytes of repository in few seconds. Our thinking is that looking up historical weather data should be as simple as looking up the price history of a stock.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I guess because they can? They must have phenomenal growth numbers.

Dumb question: how do you write dynamic queries using sqlc? From the doc I see:

-- name: ListAuthors :many
SELECT * FROM authors
ORDER BY name;

But what if I want to get a list of authors by date? Shall I do:

-- name: ListAuthors :many
SELECT * FROM authors
ORDER BY name;
-- name: ListAuthorsByDate :many
...

And what if later I need to get a list of authors by date and name? Should I write yet another query? I'm used to write one generic (composable) query that is very handy in situations where one need to retrieve rows by many different filtering criteria. Is that possible in sqlc?

'Poor', relatively speaking. In the 1890s Britain was the world's super-power, it was tremendously rich. It had an empire "on which the sun never sets". It drew much of its wealth from India, the "Jewel in the Crown".

Maybe it's richer today in purely numerical terms, but it's nowhere near as rich in, what we would call today, PPP terms. In those days One Pound Sterling truly was the value of a pound weight of sterling silver. Today, not so much.

I think everyone wants this, but it's not always practical. Not everyone lives in a coastal area with access to fresh fish of the kind they would like to eat. If you do, more power to you! But if you don't...

Freezing fish also has the benefit that it kills parasites.
