Indeed, the big difference is that Google was willing to put money on the table to make it work.

I view being a contrarian as a positive thing for the society. Casting it in the light of FB's toxic culture feels like an insidious, contemptful and oppressive stance to take. Facebook/Twitter/Tiktok culture has nothing to do with "not fitting in the narrative". If you want the society fit in the narrative, you'll find that well exercised in oppressive regimes such as North Korea.

For the most part, HN does a great job of criticism and opposing viewpoints when it comes to technical topics. But for political viewpoints, it is a cohesive, tightly bound and impenetrable monoculture primarily echoing Silicon Valley zeitgeist.
Yes because all other software companies are saints and FB is just killing people left and right.

Personally Twitter is more of a stain of society, but for some reason HN has a stiffy for anyone who shits on FB.

We have some awesome stuff because of FB open source; React, PHP, HHVM, JSX, etc.

I agree they should stay out of politics, but they seem the most reserved of all services w/ the censoring.

Maybe that's why they are hated? They don't censor enough and that's where the conservatives are?
The point is that this only works when the truth is on your side. “They” are understood to be the dominant/incumbent forces, but the truth eventually wins.

At a theoretical level it looks like Cloudflare won't block search engine crawlers. The docs are very Google and Bing oriented and also oriented towards supporting their customers, not random new search engine crawler.

Cloudflare allows search engine crawlers and bots. If you observe crawl issues or Cloudflare challenges presented to the search engine crawler or bot, contact Cloudflare support with the information you gather when troubleshooting the crawl errors via the methods outlined in this guide.

Interestingly, he also mentions that central economic planning doesn't work (although I am not so sure I completely agree with that thesis), but this sounds very similar to Cybersyn's design.
Isn't it's familiarity to early Google a side-effect of the early Internet being text-heavy sites in the first place rather than a similarity in the search engine? Unless I am misunderstanding your site's intent, even if you reach the dream engine you are trying to achieve, I won't be using it to search answers for coding questions on SO, how-tos for car repair, sites to stream movies, governmental page for X need, transcript for earnings calls, etc.

In my experience it is better than Google at what it does if I'm looking for long-form texts (exception being scientific/peer-reviewed articles, Google tends to shoot me those for the type of queries I make on Marginalia), but is very much complementary rather than a replacement.
"What is the Internet?"

Ah, for those simpler days.
I think generally you're right. OP has a point, but at the end of the day, as social beings we all play a collaboration game. This involves sometimes doing things or forgoing doing things that we have no interest in because others have an interest they want respected. In exchange, we expect respect for our interests, even when others don't share that interest.

If OP doesn't care about human remains, there's nothing wrong about that. However, others do care about how remains are treated. in exchange for care about whatever OP does hold sacred or in honor, OP ought to show care about human remains, despite being disinterested.

The first link you posted 404d for me, but I read the second PDF to largely agrees with me and OP actually that it is the interests of the currently living people we actually care about. To be clear, I'm one of them.

Agreed… there’s very little surface that isn’t taken up by the website, so it makes far less sense than, say a terminal. It’s a uniquely bad fit for theming.

A useable method of styling webpages, however, would be quite interesting. CSS just doesn’t quite work when used generically on all sites, except for maybe font sizes. Chrome’s in-beta automatic dark modes are maybe one working example.

I’d appreciate, for example, some way to make better use of the 6000px of screen width I have. Unfortunately, with mobile-first and portrait-mode prevalence, the trend seems to be going back to optimizing for 800px.
> But this is exactly the "we need fewer regulations" approach, implemented sanely.

The problem is that people conflate "fewer regulations" with "less regulation".

We certainly need fewer regulations (there are too many and they are too complex). But we need more regulation (too much falls outside of the current regulations' scope).

Both aspects of the status quo seem to be a result of regulatory capture by concentrations of capital and power.

The love of tik tok is odd to me. Seems to be the exact same. And the ads I see on Twitter for it basically amount to sex appeal for a lot of it. Not unlike Hollywood it general show business.

For this thread, though, I'm not sure the negative slant is enough to explain it. There is a ton of negative on most every topic.

That's up to any significantly large country, or the EU to stop. Until then, they really can do what they want. And are, as this story suggests.
Agree. I've never used one for longer than it took to briefly click to it to see what it looked like.
Thanks for the explanation, I've never seen the attr() property before. A lot of similar codepens I've seen in the past, that do fancy stylings, are suddenly making sense.

I always struggle to change my mental model about css to be more expressive, but now many wheels are starting to turn.
What is the opinion of Golang users on this?
I think it’s fair to distinguish an echo chamber from a place of familiar discourse. I see this for example in the skeptic circles I run in. Amongst peers we might talk more dismissively about some pseudoscience topic we’ve all seen hundreds of times, but would be more willing to engage someone in good faith at, say, a family dinner.

You get downvoted because there’s actual evidence the interview process is deeply flawed and essentially a proxy measure for tolerance of anxiety (and of course raw intelligence), but does not correlate well to actual performance. You shouldn’t necessarily be downvoted, especially since there might be some merit to the overall thrust of your argument in defense of the tech interview. However at some point it’s entirely possible you sound like the person espousing homeopathy to the local skeptic club.

Free exchange of ideas does not mean each is given equal weight. That’s only a lie those who spread misinformation and peddle pseudoscience propagate.
Because the risk of transmission is understood to be significantly lower, and since unvaccinated people are more likely to cause the virus to mutate it's in the governments best interest to get people vaccinated, a way of accomplishing this could be making life inconvenient for the uncompliant.
It's worth considering whether the premise actually holds.

* Yeah, there's a feeling of malaise, but if you look at e.g. surveys of trust in government (Pew, OECD, etc.), it's a fairly slow decline over decades and the end point is that most people are still fairly okay with how government, education, media, the judiciary etc. are run in many democratic countries and if you look at overall happiness (Eurostat etc.) then that seems to be fairly stable or even going up a little bit.

* Most artists do get little reward for all the benefit they provide, but we can't have everyone be artists so there has to be some way to disincentivize people from becoming an artist, no?

* Big banks and big governments suck, fine, but compared to what standard or compared to what point in time?

* The gap between the haves and have-nots keeps widening. OK, that one's probably true.

* Software stacks keep getting more bloated, but in exchange programming has gotten a lot easier, which seems like a wonderful trade-off.

* Governments like the European Union are absurdly complex, but overall it seems to have been a net boon to the countries that have joined it: travel is easier, paying is easier, your rights as a consumer are better protected than ever, etc.

* App Stores are pretty great for most people, even though 30% is a bit absurd.

* The Bay Area is not the world.

There's probably a lot about modern society that needs solving, but the first step has to be to think really long and hard about precisely what does suck, why it sucks, whether it can be better.
I meant the democratic socialism of many European governments.
Users like it, especially if you can customise it. (Winamp comes to mind - themes were a huge deal with it and one of the reasons behind its popularity). And it also generates a lot of community activity around the software, which adds value and provides free publicity.
Where is your evidence that "You can look at the pipeline of programmers and you will see a demographic pretty similar to open source"?

You described your country's employment statistics, although without evidence.

You haven't listed the breakdown of gender representation in your country's OSS participation, so there's nothing to compare.

And "Europe" is rather diverse region.

As counter-evidence, I point you to https://blog.honeypot.io/women-in-tech-germany/ which claims women make up 16.58% of IT in Germany, and that percentage is lower than 15 other European countries.

To be sure, I can't vouch for the quality of that research, but so far you have presented none.

> they just decide themselves against it

Again, where is your evidence. I have already in this thread listed reasons for why women (who have more pressure to be unpaid care givers) and the working poor (which in the US is correlated with minority status) may have LESS choice than average, so saying "just decide themselves" ignores the factors which go into that decision.

> "It is pretty much exactly mirrors in the CS pipeline."

Evidence please. Since the citations I gave show otherwise.

> it doesn't allow for the conclusion that were drawn

Which specific conclusions do you disagree with and what evidence do you have besides your personal observations and biases?
When I type:

def up
execute <<-SQL
alter table users
add constraint active_users_must_have_email
check active = false OR email is not null
NOT VALID
SQL

i.e. I am adding a check constraint but making it NOT VALID so it won't lock the table while scanning

If I continue and write

execute <<-SQL
a

then it completes it with

alter table users

And then the next line I type

v

and it completes it with

validate constraint active_users_must_have_email
SQL

I then type

end

and it suggests:

def down
execute <<-SQL
ALTER TABLE users
DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS constraint active_users_must_have_email;
SQL
end

Which is exactly what I needed.

What impresses me is that a) it recognized that a NOT VALID index needs to be VALIDATEd and b) it figured out what the down migration was.
It reads like it's the outcome of the Soviets doing this successfully. The US spent resources on a bunch of BS (a full-fledged research program) because the Soviets got the US to believe they were taking it seriously and had achieved results.
No, I think it is partially Cloudflare's fault because they offer this service and make it easy to deploy. This shit has exploded with Cloudflare's popularity.

Nobody has to do it, but a lot of people will do it when they notice there's an easy way to do it. Cloudflare is very much an enabler of bad behavior here. Now a lot of sites just toggle that on without even thinking about collateral.
These are all great points.

Yes and no - I've seen people defend stereotypical tech interviews, and not get downvoted. But only when it's sufficiently nuanced and adding to the discussion, i.e., "I think they do a good job at filtering for false positives, but as with any such measure it creates a lot of false negatives. My experience has been that the people who -do- get through tend to be pretty good, or at least, have put in a lot of work to clear the bar, which translates pretty frequently, but recognize it doesn't say anything for the people who don't." vs "Pff, the interview process is great; if you're not clearing it you're just not good enough to work there"

HN, as anywhere, has an echo chamber, sure, but it also does have better dialog even around the sacred cows than others (i.e., perhaps the biggest one here, "startups are great!", is balanced with "They're lotteries. Go to a FAANG if you want to get rich, and anywhere established if you want better work/life balance")
That is complete garbage. Lame Microsoft
These same folks allow regular people to do options trading, invest in any individual stock and other forms of wild gambling all from the convenience of their phones (complete with fun animations!)

It's also rather difficult to actually recover losses in court in a civil case unless you're rich enough/the amount at stake is large enough to eat the losses in court fees/collections measures and still make a profit (winning a judgement does nothing if the losing party simply refuses to pay, at which point you have to engage the Sherrif/place liens on property/hire collections agencies/etc). Whether it should be that way or not, that's the reality. These same folks allow that system as well.

I'm more inclined to think the regulators will go the way of rich/those who make campaign contributions/those who can lobby. I wish we didn't live in that world, but we do. The evidence that we do has been unmistakable since 2008. So some of the scammier micro-cap coins might get regulated out of existence, but with Wall St taking an interest and plenty of wealthy people on board, crypto as a whole is going to stick around IMO.
"Speed improvements" in every release but there must be something about the way the browser is implemented that just kills performance/efficiency vs other Chromium browsers. Even a basic test like Speedometer 2.0 shoots out that DOM manipulations are 75% the speed of the same benchmark on Chrome, what on earth is it doing to cause that?

The interface is great but between performance and bugs I've never been able to stay on it for more than a couple of months.
As a double vaccinated German, I am very disappointed and angry about this move.

Our politicians have failed to prepare the country for the Winter (who could have known...). We lack a basic strategy how to cope with Covid.

And now they try to fix this by dividing the country in two. This will have no effect whatsoever on the infections, it will just continue to drive a divide that is already existing and will make anti-vaxxers even more convinced that this is a big conspiracy.
I second this. A portrait monitor does wonders for coding (for me); My office setup consists of two portrait monitors plus my laptop screen in the middle and this works very well when multiple repos are open at the same time. I tend not to mess about with the windows displayed on the vertical monitors so I always know where to look if I need to change something (ie, backend on the left, frontend on the right). I've been planning to look into tiling window managers to see if I can optimize this further but it might be going a bit too far.
Have Vivaldi's devs said whether or not they'll be requiring Manifest V3? I'd hope that if anyone rejects V3 it would be Vivaldi...
This is a very blurry line. People in the industry always will be the first to tell you you owe companies no loyalty and to always look out for yourself first and foremost. But then when someone says they slack off on code reviews while they're interviewing suddenly they should be taking pride in their craft. As a matter of course I want to do a good job each and every day. But it's still a job and if I'm unhappy to the point I'm actively searching for another job do I still owe that company my best? I think multiple different people will have multiple different answers for that.

> software security education for all developers. 1 year of it. Mandatory. Financial penalties for developers and their employers.

Either you offer it completely free to anyone in the entire world, or this is just another barrier to prevent access to the developer "elite".

And btw, often it's not the developer that cuts on security features, but an executive that wants to get to market faster. How about we give compulsory security training to every manager/executive/ceo/etc AND we hold them legally responsible when damages are caused by their eagerness to cut on costs?
Not to mention, as the author mentioned, there's a (likely) scenario that pure cloud providers become a low-margin commodity. We've already seen this play out. Even with lock-in, to attract new customers, you'll be competing mostly on price.

The problem with this interminable argument about government and force is that it implicitly involves unreasonable people.

What allows the government to collect taxes? Lethal force!

But also...

What keeps people from driving on the wrong side of the road? Lethal force!
What keeps people from dining and dashing? Lethal force!
What keeps from using park benches as toilets? Lethal force!

For the most part people are reasonable and if you indicate that they need to do something or refrain from doing something, they go along. If they don't, you can write a law with some enforcement mechanism, and then they go along. If they still don't, you can increase the bite of the enforcement mechanism. Rarely do you have Bartleby the Scrivener types who simply refuse to cooperate, and even then, the consequence for them, like for Bartleby, is generally fines or time in state custody, not lethal force.

The government, through its agents, often does employ lethal force with tragic consequences, but this is usually the result of the agents enforcing their own special laws -- respect my authority or I will kill you -- not the actual laws and their legal enforcement mechanisms. Many nations have no death penalty. Many have police officers who vary rarely kill their citizens. These nations are often very nice countries to live in.

For me-- I rarely watch movies without subtitles nowadays; can't understand half the dialog.

Part is the too many audio tracks being mixed in, that the article talks about. Also, I've noticed American actors seem to mumble their lines a lot, I dont know why. British actors (usually) speak clearly. Maybe its a cultural thing, like Americans prefer method acting more?

Also, I've noticed that stage actors like Patrick Stewart , speak clearly, maybe because on stage you have to enunciate properly.

The end result is: If a movie doesn't have subtitles, we don't watch it. (And havent been to a cinema for 2+ years, obviously, in cinemas you rarely get the option).

On an unrelated note: I dont know why so many movies are shot in the dark. It might make sense when viewed in a theater, but when viewing at home, I can't see anything. The last few scenes of Edge of Tomorrow were impossible to understand because of this.

My impression is: The "arteestes" have taken over Hollywood, and making stylish movies take precedence over making movies that are easy to watch and hear.
