1)
An online code editor that's good for a smallish smartphone.
I don't usually code on my phone, but when I do it's usually unpleasant.

Either I use hacker's keyboard or gboard, and with both I constantly misspell things and miss the keys. In online IDEs which do have some sort of autocomplete it tends to cover up half the screen. And with the other half is covered by the keyboard I can't see what I'm picking or writing or the context.

Something like an auto complete with an auto-zoom in and out when I type or choose something from the autocomplete would be nice.

Also some conveniences for copying and pasting lines of code around, not by using gestures (I'm clumsly...) but through a combination of keyboard and/or on-screen prompting.

This is a rather niche, since like I said I usually don't code on my phone. The only time I felt it was missing was when 2 years ago I did Advent of Code on my phone during commutes, and the only site that worked for me was ideone.com because their text entry is essentially just a simple no-frills textbox. So I didn't have autocomplete but I could bang up a reasonable solution in a reasonable time (I tried to get a semi-decent score).

2)
I wish there was an easier way to view forks / branches of a given repo, across all popular sites. This would help finding forks with fixes of a repo which looks abandoned.

3)
A site which aggregates book reviews from various sites, similar to RottenTomatoes but for novels.

Currently when I'm searching for book reviews when considering to buy or listen to a book, I first read (non-spoiler-y) reviews on Amazon, then on GoodReads, then google for reviews on various online outlets, then google for blogs, and maybe even search Youtube if I have the patience to listen.

There's https://bookmarks.reviews but it doesn't have too many reviews on it and of course doesn't include Amazon's ratings.

Something semi-automated would have been nice.
For children's books it would also be nice if it included reviews from the CommonSenseMedia and Children's Book Council of Australia sites.

4) A way to browse all comments for a youtube video.

There's https://youtubextras.com but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Jump to a certain time and view comments from that time period.

Not just download them, browse them in the browser.

I know many people don't like youtube comments but I sometimes find them hilarious or even insightful (especially on popular dev-related videos), and I don't like youtube's interface for browsing them.

Something HN-like would have been nice, something that will figure out who is replying to whom in the flat second-level hierarchy and nest them. Possibly a browser add-on.
Caladan: Mitigating Interference at Microsecond Timescales [pdf]
The good news is that there isn't enough volume to justify the corruption of the salesperson, so he is often more honest nowadays.

The bad news is that physical stores simply do not carry any diversity nowadays, so their knowledge is irrelevant.
allthe "this is not to code" comments i guess
One of the graphics card makers (PNY?) created an invitation system and would sell to randomly selected invites at MSRP. They stopped doing it, though -- I suspect they got flooded by scalpers adding immense numbers of email addresses into the "pool".

Defeating the scale part of the scalper attack means charging an entrance fee, or using some other "proof" that hard to get at scale (like a credit card number). I like the idea of a long-term refundable reservation fee (pay $25 to get on the lottery list via distinct credit card, and if it's not delivered in a year or two you get your money back).

Something like a Gamestop membership is somewhat useful as well, but I'd just really rather see the manufacturers adopt reservation systems.

Of course this is all just idle speculation. Lots of smart people (on both sides) have been thinking about this problem for a long time.
You're right, and the worst is that private clinics and practices are allowed in Canada, and they have no interest in getting involved with this.
Searching anything related to programming inevitably yields some of those StackOverflow mirrors. Sometimes they are crappily machine translated into my native language. And sometimes they're ranked higher than the actual StackOverflow.

Google won't let people blacklist domains, so I had to write some uBO rules to get rid of those results on the browser side.
I've felt this pain and often wondered why search engines don't allow one to set fairly complicated ongoing preferences that lead to more trusted results. Yes, I might miss some information by aggressive filtering but I'd prefer it to the utterly useless results I usually get.

I typically use DDG but it's gotten to the point where even putting quotes around terms still yields results without the term, and where there seems to be almost no way to avoid results that are untrustable SEO-driven dreck.
Yup, the spec requires computation to be as doubles and so any computation must be done that way as the end result is observable.

I didn’t know about fround but I suspect its primary use case is for trying to catch floating point overflow during double arithmetic, because again precision difference is observable.
Better. I can’t decide if the line wrapping on the one element is demonstrating a necessary feature or suggests a little more trickery on sizing. I’d probably leave it but it would secretly bug me.

What if the search index was much more manually curated? For example, say that you could create a custom search index relevant to your field of expertise, and that other users would rank their results to let the engine know which indices are actually good and for which types of queries. You could still game it, but probably not with traditional SEO techniques.
We have tried the other way of enforcing money. That route of using military force is well understood. Is it better?
Thank you, without that link I was unable to understand what to do and was simply clicking on canvas.
> I guess when I see someone saying something that I absolutely know is objectively wrong, I would like to show my disapproval without sitting down and actually fleshing out a response.

I mean no disrespect in this follow-up question, but given how little you've participated in this community's discourse, do you still feel like you've earned that anonymous and concrete voice of disapproval?

I mean "concrete" here in that a downvote can actually help bury/remove a comment, and so you have actual power to influence this community when you have that ability.

Edit: to your "note" about finding replies, if go to your profile, you can view a list of all your comments, along with replies to them. It's not great but it's easier than scrolling a whole comments section.

You can also use something like "HN Enhancement Suite", a browser plugin that improves the overall UI of Hacker News (although I think you said you mostly browse on a phone so that won't help you there).
Thanks for your insight.

Yes - you're right - having some prior domain knowledge or being exposed to it or partnering with folks who are is probably the most obvious one. I was hoping to hear about a shortcut ;)

RE: It was about building something that helps others, creating good careers for people, and having the freedom to make our own decisions.

Respect. Everyone chasing after Billions and trying to achieve the goal of buying yachts within yachts is not sustainable anyway. Should be more along your path... achieving happiness without needing millions and also giving back to your community.
Have you looked into kettlebells? [1] has a lot of information on training with kettlebells. You need to get past the whole comrade language they use and a few other mannerisms, but there is some useful information.

The main points I think might interest you are the idea of “grease the groove” training and “program minimum” plans.

They don’t advocate for doing multi-hour gym sessions. You can get a kettlebell and a chin up bar and exercise from home. You can do a couple of sets of swings and pull-ups (or push ups or dips) before or after work if you work in an office. If you work from home, you can do a set every hour. It will take 1 minute or less and can be incorporated into your daily tasks. Since it’s not overly strenuous, you won’t break a sweat and won’t need to take a shower to interrupt your day.

Anyway, if you don’t want to do it, then enjoy your hobbies!

As you said “if you get a positive result”. It’s true, if you ignore the 99.9% of the time the test is correct (true negative result), then you can say the test is 84% wrong.
Men love sheds.
No, "something the system demands" is not a useful definition of anything. "The system" demands people have food to eat. Survival is not profit in any meaningful sense.

The parent used the term profits to distinguish free-market and state-controlled activities, and to assert that state-controlled food production has historically been just as environmentally damaging.
>When you mix science with politics, you get politics.

True and Daszak has been more guilty of that than most.
Bayesian Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis
Let's be honest, with rare exception, compelling & relevant content is no longer on the web. It's found on chats where people can be candid, like Signal & Telegram. To some degree it's on twitter where you can curate trusted publishers, and other social media. There are exceptions e.g. Substack, but most of the web content is seo clickbait.

The author ignores the more pernicious problem : ML fairness. Google is editorializing results by up-ranking positions it prefers. Check the results on any controversial topic like race, politics, abortion, covid treatments, etc.

The problem is that 95% of consumers believe google represents the truth.

Just go back to first principles before the internet and make sure you trust the publishers, sources & references. Also don't ignore your own observations. There's a PR campaign fighting your own critical thinking abilities.

What is the point of bounded integers? Most quantities don't have natural bounds, and practical bounds only arise from physical limitations (8/16/32/64 bit etc).
> So, let's make an odd_int_less_than_20587 type and a billion of other types?

I see your point, but I think that (while not always), it can still be pretty helpful to add your custom types to make invalid states unrepresentable.

This can sound ridiculous on something like C, but if your language has refined types, it's not that bad.

For example, this doesn't look awful to me:

```
type WeirdId = Int Refined (Odd And Less[20587])

val myId: WeirdId = 5 // OK
val myInt: Int = myId // Can be used as an Int
val myRuntimeId: Either[String, WeirdId] = refineV[Odd And Less[20587]](myId + 2) // Runtime Check
val myInvalidId: WeirdId = 6 // Compilation Error
```

The comments seem to regularly reference the poor quality of content on crafting and other activities due to SEO spam and affiliate marketing. However I wonder if the root cause is a dearth of useful content which is also not trying to sell you something.

Anecdotally the only "interesting" content I find while searching is either from the old internet or medium. I suspect that many content makers have moved on due to lack of audience.
I have been frequenting AirBnBs way too much and now I can attest to creativity of the owners to spin weaknesses into strengths. For example, when you ready "cozy" in the title, be careful. Similarly "views" never mean anything unless you actually see a photo from inside. Unfortunately AirBnB has no filters on things like shared heating, parking difficulties, long stair climbing, lack of lighting, coffee maker, toilettories and so on.
Notes on BPF and eBPF
Don't know. I recently saw a YT video that offered a recipe that supposedly works at least as well (as a solvent for freeing up stuck parts). The recipe: a 50-50 mix of acetone and non-synthetic automatic transmission fluid. (Keep it away from plastic, rubber, paint.) Use from an oiler can (no more than you think you'll need) is recommended (more control over where it winds up).

While these factors may contribute, it doesn’t account for the consistent large uptick in cases when Omicron is introduced to a population when you consider that behavior was largely the same the moment before and the moment after the cases started shooting up.
No data source is perfect. In the absence of other data, it’s reasonable to use the least imperfect data source. But for example police will confirm ShotSpotter by locating shell casings, witness statements or EMS/hospital reports, so it’s better to look at aggravated assault and homicide data from the police to draw conclusions.

Likewise for VAERS it makes more sense to look at the abundant amounts of analyzed information, or else provide a critique for why existing analysis was wrong. Presenting low-quality data without caveats or explanation to disprove higher-quality information seems to fall within the realm of misinformation.
Assuming that all covid deaths are accounted for and all the rest of the excess deaths are from lockdown, there would have to be at least as many excess deaths as covid deaths to start saying the cure is worse than the disease. From the numbers it seems like there would be about 800k covid deaths to 200k excess (in the USA), so that would indicate the disease was 4x worse than the cure. Of course those are all assumptions that I don’t think are accurate, but using your own logic.

But one thing we probably can agree on is that at this point covid is endemic and most people have given up trying to get to zero cases.

For me, I personally just integrated into my worldview the fact that I can’t trust most humans to give a shit about others (like following simple mask and vaccine guidelines) and have to protect my family however best I can, even if that means less social interaction for the rest of my life.
Or high quality translations. It is actually really funny how broken translations Google translate produce.

Have your API server accept the work item, do any fast preprocessing (validation, etc, anything that is fast and doesn't require a Mac) on it then chuck it into a database and return some reference to the client.

The Mac machines can poll the DB for new items, process them, then submit the finished item of work back to the DB.

The client can poll (using the previously-obtained reference) for the status, or the completion of a job can notify the client (push notifications, websocket, etc) to avoid polling.
Regular Jupyter notebooks are missing two important things:

1. Sheets hide formulas most of the time

2. Formulas in sheets are reactive, updating one cell immediately updates all the cells that depend on the first
I know a person who built a house worth 600k euros for less than 100k euros.

Would you sell your setup for 10k euros, or is the value of your setup possible worth more than the cost of doing it yourself. 10k to be free of the electric company for all future seems like a very good deal if purchasable at that price, and if offered I think there would be quite a few homes willing to take you up on it.
It either "just works" or "just doesn't work"
Windows has a lot of integrated solutions like that. I think Linux is the main outlier where there's nearly infinite ways to configure the whole OS and each component has at least 2-3 software alternatives (init systems, desktop environments, network management components)
Pretty much every exponential curve in reality is really a sigmoid. So extrapolating on exponential growth works until it doesn't.

I’m pretty sure the ratio of lurkers and posters on HN is not as even as other social media platforms’.
For the most part ICANN is doing them a solid. If your name lacks any real purpose, you are going to be on the hook paying for the registry to exist with nowhere near enough customers to justify it existence. So, get a purpose or expect to throw away your money.

Successful non-CC TLDs are rare. There are a few, but they have a clear purpose. For example Russia's .рф is er... for Russian stuff. In Russian. But what is .horse really for? Not very much besides hooking me up with "My Lovely Horse" http://my.lovely.horse/ any time I want to listen to it again.
In photography I have struggled to choose products, often I have to rely on my experience (e.g. it takes six months to discover that your Epson EcoTank printer makes prints that fade in six months) and specialized forums (DPReviews) You might find lightfastness rankings for some printers at

http://wilhelm-research.com/

if somebody paid them to do the research otherwise you might have rely on heuristic 'pigment based inks are relatively lightfast' and that at least one other person who does similar work, has similar skills, and uses similar method gets good results. That still doesn't help with problems like '90% of instances of this Sigma lens seem to be pretty good but 10% have defective autofocus'.

I find online reviews are close to worthless because there are so many people who don't know how to use gear or have unrealistic expectations. At Best Buy I saw a review of a printer where somebody showed pictures of prints they made where they printed on the wrong side of photo paper and blamed the printer, for instance.
Not to be unkind, but a local TV station as a primary source for such a sweeping conclusion on a very complex issue is, well, basically worthless.
Decades ago my Canadian family had a Volvo that made it for nearly 20 years, and was a total rust bucket at the end of that time ;)

Somewhere near the end of that, a brand new Acura was bought. That made it through the next 20 years (on the same roads), and had next to no corrosion.

The manufacturers really did get a lot better!
The simple answer is testing. When you go to school you get a test that certifies you have a basic knowledge. It may not cover every aspect but will teach you where to find the answers you don’t know.

SEOs don't write all of that for fun. They write it because it ranks well, because Google seems to favor this verbose blurby content.

The second Google clearly favors shorter answers, SEOs will publish just that.

SEOs go where the wind blows.
It's not judgemental - it just is. Many addicts in recovery themselves use similar language. I spend a lot of time with recovering addicts and alcoholics and accountability is an important component of treatment.
Reddit is a great place to get recommended the most expensive stuff. 99% of the time the best sellers on Amazon work great for me, but if I look at Reddit they insist only a couple very expensive brands are worth owning in any category of item. It's crazy and sometimes I even fall for it. Can't tell if it's marketing or if people very into their hobbies become obsessed with tiny differences.
A while ago I was doing research on guitar products.

I did what I usually do, open the first 6-7 websites in google, look at the quality of the website, and made a call which one looked the most reputable.

Only, here is the thing: All of the websites had different names. They had different domains. But, they were all very... similar. And then I started to compare them, and I came to a realization:

They are the same website, with the same content, with a different domain and slightly tweaked front-end. SEO has hit so rock-bottom, it is no longer good enough to be number one. You have to be number 1 - 10.

Similar story researching fishing equipment. Different domain. Same website. Same 10 products.

In both cases, I found a discord server and asked the enthusiasts on there for advice.
I'm in Canada, signed up and it said it's not available in my region.
At least in the past (haven't checked in years), the Amazon affiliate program rewarded the affiliate for the next purchase made (within a pretty long time window) after clicking an affiliate link, even if it's not of the product linked; so there's no downside to sending you to an arbitrary, unavailable, irrelevant product as long as you're clicking on links when you're in a shopping mode and likely to make a purchase soon.
I don’t disagree but I think we should also be demanding more capacity from our hospitals and maybe just maybe demanding actual universal healthcare. It’s so bizarre to me that that’s not even on the table but it’s because most just assume we have to have a for-profit medical system.

yes, that is why i was shopping online.
I need that book. I will fulfill myself in finding it.
Everything is measured and optimised by some simple metrics like profit, growth, reach or fame as far as I am aware.

Can you give some examples of great, contemporary organic content that Google fails to surface?
Surely not by the above moral axiom.
I was thinking more of the splashing back and forth between the house and the shed, getting in the siding and causing issues.
Basically nowadays Google shows me Ads links on top, bunch of medium or content-grabber sites (think a website full of blogs from other blog sites).
I just said it above, extrapolating from past exponential performance works until it doesn't and reality implies that it will stop working at some point.

The punishment for building code violations is death. The building code enforcement is a lot more lenient in comparison.
