HN is weird. Articles, stories, and conversations show up here before getting to content aggregators or social media, and it's ahead of the curve by hours. Focusing a/b tests here gives you a strategic edge in controlling a narrative further downstream, and can give you a sample of what arguments can close down a discussion, or exactly how to script your sock puppets so that people feel their opinion is represented within a discussion.

I'm pretty sure this happens because people in ycombinator circles use HN as a high quality content pipeline, and because of dang's impeccable curation, front page HN content gets greenlit for immediate display. If you see something on HN, it'll almost inevitably show up on Slashdot, Reddit, Facebook, and a slew of other smaller sites and forums, often unchanged from its presentation here.

HN also has the bonus that many silicon valley movers and shakers frequent the site and join the discussions. China's troll generals would be foolish not to capitalize on that.

As far as immigrants defending ccp that's usually because they have family back in China and would like to see them again some day. Their family's social standing could take a hit if they are insufficiently "patriotic," even in the US. China's got social influence inside the US, and extensive networks of casual spies that report problematic behaviors, ranging from local cultural clubs and groups to college and campus outreach organizations. It's very (darkly) sophisticated.
Why is reading a book functionally different than reading a kindle?
With good coffee, (preferably freshly ground, but you do what you have to) and a bit of technique, yeah, they can make quite good coffee. It's stronger than pour over or french press, but still probably only a third to a half as strong as espresso.

I've never had an aeropress so it's hard for me to compare quality etc., but when I've had coffee with friends who use them, the aeropress does seem bit more cumbersome and messy than the mokka pot.

I'd tend to think that at this point people happy with Stack Overflow will go directly there. Going through generic search would be more to get either the official documentation link (Google can be faster than searching the language site ...), or trying to see what option there are on the subject we're looking for.

In particular, random errors can be easier to search when including blog posts and other docs that just SO.

Also not every search needs to be quick or optimized, finding alternatives along the way is nice sometimes.

Not Going Well Linux Gaming Challenge Pt.2
The fact that the teaching material is so horrible is probably the biggest reason learning programming is so easy, because if the teaching material would be any good then the CS grads would actually know difficult things and it would be harder for me to compete. But as is it is trivial to learn what they did, because they don't learn much. For programming it didn't take me long to learn programming well enough to get into Google and work on services with a million QPS or distributed machine learning training, because programming is really really simple. Not because you are good at teaching, no, I just sat and learned on my own just writing programs, all program tutorials and helps were horrible.

> But this is impossible, because, as I learned today, "math is a small field without money for things like this".

Of course it isn't impossible, that was never the problem here. Mathematicians have written plenty of such cheat sheets, you can find them everywhere just by Googling. Here is one for physics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_physics_notatio...

Here is one for math:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical_symbo...

Can you please understand that you are complaining that nobody created something that many many people have created many times over? I found those by googling "physics notation" and "math notation". Was that really too hard for you? If you want a cheat sheet specific for CS related papers, then that cheat sheet has to be written by someone with a CS background since a mathematician wont know what is useful to you, and neither will he know what quirky notation CS people use in their own papers since every domain of math has its own quirks.

What you are doing here is the equivalent of a guy wanting to learn python, and then going to the C++ comitee and complaining that no language is well documented online, and even when the C++ committee nicely shows you that in fact there is documentation of python online you still complain and say that nobody cares about your woes because that python documentation was in fact not easy enough for you to read!
In Sweden we have "black week" starting monday before black friday, then of course black friday, cyber weeked, cyber monday. Then there is any number of made-up things by various sellers too. Traditionally there is always a sale between christmas and new years, and basically all of January too.

I think this year was not very common in that for example TVs had the same low price the entire week, usually someone has a lower price during just the friday but not for popular models this year.

Intel had 100 reliable doors in the past, and they foregone all of them.

Even today, Intel would have no problem making something well sellable.
That's probably because python2 wasn't that broken to begin with. But fixed character encodings was totally worth it. I think the only mistake they made was related to how long they kept supporting python2 -- but I'm sure there were good reasons for doing that.

So from that observation, why don't you put your browser project on hold for a while and start that http test server project?

I think there currently is no such thing because writing test cases for protocols is an uphill start. You simply don't have any constraints on how to start. Write the tests in plain text? How to encode the behavior? Write the tests in a programming language? How to execute the tested client? It's not impossible to have a client/server-agnostic test library, but it's non-trivial to design the framework.

One thing it can't do well is search for negatives. In some cases it will latch on the opposite of what you want because that's what most people search for.

It's naive to thing that relatively unorganized bunch of people wrote the most popular OS in existence.
I learned a bunch of "useless" skills; juggling, slack line, etc. I met a bunch of very interesting people, got fit, enjoyed the process of constantly improving, found out that I can actually be determined rather than the slacker I'd always seen myself as.

I'm in my early 40s now and I don't juggle or balance as often as I used to, but I still find time every now and then and enjoy dusting off the skills. These kinds of things can also surprise and impress people, or encourage others to give them a go, or best; get surprised when someone else also has the same skills. It's like an instant bond. That knowing nod shared when people understand the work that has gone into learning these stupid things.

So yeah.. my piece of advice is, while you're young and have more "spare time"; spend some of it on learning some weird physical skill.

Others have mentioned learning an instrument... and I've sort of regretted putting my time into learning physical "tricks" rather than say the guitar.. So maybe my advice is to do both :)

I wish they fixed the long standing, annoying sync bug that makes Firefox download 7000+ containers every once in a while. Some of us hosed our sync accounts in one way or another (through the container duplication bug in m-a-c itself [1] or the temporary containers extension [2]) and it's impossible to recover - once you reach the storage quota on the sync server, the sync server refuses all write operations and delete call apparently counts as a write.

Both things can, and are to an extent in Europe, true at the same time. The random acts of police violence are much lower here, I would attribute it to better training.

Better training doesn't prevent racial profiling and this kind of problems.

I mostly agree, but disagree with the "taking a photo of me on the pavement" part. It's actually illegal in Sweden. We have some of the strictest camera regulations I know of, and I'm very pleased with that.

I'm NOT a fan of Teslas sentry mode.
We had a touch typing class in the mid nineties in South Africa.

I told my teacher I don't need to touch type (I could already use a keyboard from tons of programming) so she said if I could beat her I could sit it out. I beat her and she kept up her end of the bargain.

However years later I wish I had just sucked up my pride and learnt it because I had to eventually anyway. It wasn't so useful for programming, but it's great for text (emails, etc.).

I find it interesting that in your view most people aren't touch typist. My experience (now in Australia) is that most people touch type. Although, there does seem to be a spectrum of purity. e.g. my fingers always remain on the home rows, but I use left shift for all capitals except Q, A, Z (when I'm using QWERTY).

Whenever I go camping I always take a small moka pot with me. If you use good quality coffee then it never fails to deliver a very decent cup. It's not going to be equal to a coffee shop espresso, but it gets you 80% there. And you may be able to pick one up for 20 bucks. The only part that needs replacing every now and then is the rubber ring that seals the pot when you screw it together. Other than that they're virtually indestructible. At home I have the large De'Longhi, but if that can't be used there is always a moka pot on standby.

The multi core coroutines comment is true but there are ways (to hack) around that.

The way I solved concurrency is just by forking and using sockets:

I think a lot of people in the comments are focused on the various sales aspects of why black Friday prices move the way they do however I think this year is an example of high inflation being more of a factor than anything else. I'd think this is an indicator that it is probably a good time to buy some inflation hedges instead of discretionary consumer goods.
Yes. And meal tickets for most people here - so cash equivalent.
Kids are hard and time is cruel. My oldest will remember his grandparents, my youngest will barely remember his grandmother as an old lady who couldn’t talk right. Where my wife bounced back from the first child, it was a lot harder seven years later with the second.

Just having the energy and stamina to keep up with your kids is hard, gets harder as your body slows down, and gets really hard when your parents get older and have their own health problems. My mother-in-law went from being able watch the kids when we needed to, to no longer being able to drive because of a stroke and needing to be taken to therapy three times a week.
When you are wondering whether you might need Kafka, it is certain that you don't need it.

But there are times when you have a problem, and amongst the possible solutions is Kafka.

I've come across Kafkaesque problems only three times in the last seven years: a hosting platform that had to parse logs of over 700 WordPress sites for security and other businesslogic. Putting all events of a financial app backend into datalakes and filtering and parsing all openstreetmap changesets live.

I almost feel like there's two generations of smart-home concept at play.

One of them is basically a modern reinvention of X-10. Automation is the selling point-- turn on a outdoor security light at 18:00 and off at 06:00, switch on a water pump when a moisture sensor fires, maybe turn on the indoor lights when the garage door opener starts lifting the door. This feels like a much more solvable problem. It really requires very little "smarts". We could do those things in the 80s with low-voltage signals over CAT3 wires, a bag of 74xx logic gates and jumpers, and some relays. Now, we've replaced the cables with short-range wireless protocols, but there's still very little need for a huge complicated software stack or arguably even a CPU to run the show.

The new generation seems to be about voice control and external services. It takes a bazillion times more infrastructure to capture, decode, and relay "Hey, Siri, turn on the security lights" or accept a message from some remote network relay saying you want to turn the stove off from 300km away, than it does to ask a local battery-backed clock module "Is it 18:00 yet?" And, of course, the reliance on external services tingles my spider-sense for "new revenue models" that involve the tail of user-data sales wagging the dog that is "actually making a product that does what people expect it to without surprises."

I don't think marketing does a good job of decoupling the two. I'd be more interested in a home automation platform that focused on the first option-- simple, bulletproof, and impossible to kill off when they decide they no longer want to support it. But I suspect everyone wants to sell the latter, because for some reason, babbling at your appliances is now modern and sexy rather than a sign of oncoming dementia.

I'm sort of salty because I can't find the one automation device I want. The ceiling fan in my room is on a normal switched mains outlet. I'd love to replace that switch with "on/off/on if it's over (temperature selected on knob)" This seems like it should be a $20 part and a "detach two wires and insert in new switch" install job. All I can find are vendor-specific things that aren't likely to work with my random contractor-grade fan, external boxes clearly designed for plug-in, not hard-wired devices, and systems that are clearly intended to run a whole HVAC system (and obviously won't fit tidly in the little blue wall box)

Is the author's point that the political views in question are not popular? I thought he was attempting to make the point that the economic system personified in the execution of those political beliefs is not efficient.

Which if the last decade plus of cryptocurrency has taught us anything, we ought to be able to thoroughly discard by this point in time.

I am aware that the political orthodoxy of the time is popular and the view that it should be discarded is unpopular, aside from observing that this would be true of basically any time and place, I have no further comment on that. My point is that the alternative simply flat out works better. I have zero care or interest in what is popular.

‘Battery arms race’: how China has monopolised the EV industry
I never ran into Escher’s knot before although Im somewhat familiar wit Esche’s work. Does anyone know what its relevance in this context?
Thanks for sharing the examples!

The obvious criticism is indeed that these use cases could be addressed—if not with Postgres—with Merkle trees, no? Like (at a quick glance) MediLedger wants auditability similar to (say) Cert Transparency, and is using a “permissioned” blockchain to do that. How that differs from a centralized or partially centralized model like CT isn’t obvious to me.

Perhaps more importantly, though, none of these examples seem like they demonstrate the supposed appeal of “Web3.0”: permissioned blockchains, by definition, do not have truly distributed ownership; the entire bullshit premise of Web3.0 from people like (ironically) a16z is that you get to own “digital assets.” Yet permissioned, partially centralized blockchains—-irrespective of whether Postgres would be a better solution!—-exhibit none of those characteristics, right?

If all the hype around “Web3.0” is just a way of saying “supply chain tracking will be done, at greater cost and complexity, in a distributed manner”, that doesn’t strike me as deserving of all the hype. What broad cultural or economic impacts will it have?
I have friends at fang and although it varies, generally I can't say they have work-life balance. they are mostly expected to justify their pay.

Surely JS has at least an equal amount of foot-guns to PHP. I mean, at least PHP (to my knowledge) never had a meta-language written around it that compiles to PHP to make it safer.

Dirty secret about coffee brewing... it's 90% the quality of the beans. If you use stale Starbucks beans, you will never have good coffee. If you use ones from a local roaster that are fresh, and grind them at brew time, you'll have amazing coffee even if you just throw the grounds in a pot (cowboy coffee, Turkish coffee, or Ethiopian brewing are all valid methods that are unfiltered). Before you go crazy testing Aeropress vs. v60 vs. chemex... Just try whatever brewing method you use with beans from a local roaster.
This is my subjective opinion, but I think getElementById makes the code easier to understand when you scan the code. Even if the query selector is simple, it still requires you to read the query to understand it's just a simple lookup by id
