> I want a search engine where I can upvote and downvote sites, making them go up and down in the results.

It will not work well, popular opinion is not always best.
Also search engines already use come kind of upvoting: it is most likely page is being upvoted when you visit it from search results (probably this is one of reasons why many bullshit results on top).
> If you strip culture from a language, wouldn't the language would become toneless and meaningless?

Indeed, languages are toneless and meaningless when divorced from their functional role in connecting people and enabling them to share thoughts.

For that reason languages aren't sacrosanct and are replaceable.
I didn't read the post from person you responded to in the way that you did. I can agree that Instagram and the availability of cheaper travel has had the impact you describe. I think my initial language and description might have gravitated towards use of the word "local" but that's effectively used as shorthand. The assumption of most reasonable people is that you need to make connections with people.
> you can't get around that there is just a lot of extra money in the economy right now and no amount of finger pointing is going to stop prices from rising.

I tend to agree on two points, there is more money, and there are higher prices. However, there is a blind spot hiding in here which is easy to pass over and that's the assumption on the distribution of that extra money. The reason that this is important is that food scarcity for whatever reason, demand or supply constrained, is often the tipping point in an abrupt political developments, and we would like to avoid those if possible.
I wonder if it has to do with the type of food. “Hummus recipe” gets you the entire history of chickpeas: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/15938/easy-and-smooth-hummus-r...

I have friends who sometimes help me cook a dinner for more friends. I've seen some of them try to measure out 22.5mL¹ of olive oil for frying because I pressed a button on the site to 1.5× the recipe...

Recipe websites don't include that first 10 pages of a "beginner" recipe book, which usually describes how to measure ingredients and the various cooking techniques used.

¹ 1.5 metric tablespoons, 1.5 × 15mL.
The edit wars would be horrible. Everyone has their own recipe for any given food item, plus endless variations.

One thing I forgot to mention is that by using hashes to identify executables, picosnitch can provide more reliable intrusion detection since different executables can appear to be located on the same path.

For example, it can successfully identify whether curl being run from inside a docker container is the same or different from curl being run on your system, even if they both appear to be located at /usr/bin/curl.

To improve performance, hashes are cached based on the device and inode of the executable, and watched with fanotify to trigger a rehash if the executable is modified.
I did clarify, but I'm curious what specific accusation you read from my comment.

I re-read it a few times and I don't see one regarding Theranos other than sloppy writing. My "gut plausibility of a scenario" that the author is pumping up her husband's portfolio company in an NYT article is pretty easy to validate by reading the article itself, it just happens to not be Theranos.

Are you seeing something that's not there, or am I failing to see something that is?
Oh! I love this recipe card style - Thanks for that!
That was the main question that I had -- how durable and cost effective were these wheels?

According to this page (p.148) of the "The Railway Purchasing Agent (Jan 1881)" they had a service life of 500,000 miles vs 50,000 miles for cast iron wheels resulting in an operation savings of 3.5 cents per 1,000 miles.

[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Railway_Master_Mechanic...]

Given the rave reviews and obvious cost savings, it makes me wonder why|when they fell out of favor; my naive assumption would be a dramatic improvement in metallurgy?

> Then after I spent a day getting it all working I'd be staring at my computer and it wouldn't take more than an hour or two to think "Ok, that's cool but I want to play a game" or something else that I couldn't do in linux.

Hah, for me, this was when I started getting deep into WINE and also some of the games available for Linux (SuperTux, that one game where you shoot a ball and it sticks to other balls and if enough of them are the same color they disappear, and some DOOM port).
Might slow digestion down a little bit, but probably not significantly. Fiber helps slow down sugar absorption, which is why fruit is okay for you. Ultimately most of what you put into your stomach absorbs into your blood stream, so eventually your pancreas will have to deal with all the sugar by releasing a lot of insulin

At first scan your site looks like one of those automated scrape and republish sites. I'm curious what got you on that blacklist (misspelling? bad first impression? automated tool gone awry?) though.

Glad you said something though, I wouldn't have looked at it twice without a human attestation.
Also, I think we tend to minimize how hard it is to serve time in a cage. And when people come out of prison and commit further crimes, we assume they didn’t spend enough time behind bars. It’s the one and only solution to the problem. If it’s not working, we apparently just need more of it.
How can the runtime conclude that the rejection is unhandled when there are outstanding references to the Promise?

In other words, as long as the promise might later be awaited or otherwise handled I don't see why the runtime should care. (That's the mental model I carry from other languages.)
For me, at least, I typically don't follow the recipe. Very rarely am I looking for cooking instruction. I'm familiar enough with most typical cooking techniques that ingredient list and proportions, plus sometimes a quick glance at the steps, is all I need to get the job done. I'm usually modifying the ingredients on the fly as I cook the dish anyway.

When I am looking for cooking instruction, I find my existing library of trusted cookbooks to have a much better signal to noise ratio than Googled recipes sites on the web.
This is true. Honestly I didn't put much thought into my comment. Meeting up with other travelers is a thing and can be fun. I've done it. I'm older now and usually stay somewhere for a few months at a time when I travel now.

Also, to me, traveling is different than touring/being a tourist. My permanent home now is a tourist town and there's a marked difference between tourists coming for a weekend and travelers who come for a yearlong work holiday visa. The 'traveler' scene is a thing, not my thing though. They have a good time of sorts. Living somewhere is different though.
Apple is a publicly traded company, and every company needs to grow into new markets to make more revenue. And they also maintain their own browser Safari, even though on macOS they could just withdraw from market and leave the field to Chrome and Firefox. Even amongst macOS users Safari usage is very low and doesn't make Apple any money.

On the other hand you can see how Google is using its dominance in Search to push its browser and mobile OS - once you login to Google in Chrome on your phone, suddenly they can track you when you use their mobile Apps etc. And Apple is trying hard to grow in the "Services" field, i.e. through Apple Music and Apple TV - both available to Windows and Android users too. Just as they made a buttload of money with iTunes and the iPod because they also targeted Windows users.

Ask HN: How can I overcome feeling incompetent?
So this has been going on for quite some time.

First, I am still struggling through my studies. I started working on the side (freelance fullstack and WP dev) while still studying and my progress took a big hit. I am left with a single exam which I failed multiple times (mostly because of not preparing enough beforehand because of other worries that needed to be taken care of as well).

At work it's not better, the WordPress stuff is quite easy to manage (but I feel that is only because every question on earth regarding WordPress and its ecosystem has already been asked), but there is one longer term freelance commitment where I feel like I am not adding any value and am just burning money. I think my contractor (a dev themself) only keeps working with me because they either can't find or afford (or both) a better developer.

In most situations they need to either help me out working on features or they rewrite big portions of my code afterwards when I delivered something. At first I thought it was probably just a learning experience and it will get better over time, but it didn't. Everything is happening nearly as often as i.e. two years ago.
I read docs, Github issues, StackOverflow, other peoples' code etc. daily but I don't seem to really learn anything useful.
Also the code base looks nothing like what I was taught at uni. No tests, no style guides, no processes, no documented architecture, no docs generally. Just code and requirements.
Yes, I expected work to be different and "real-world" code to be not as beautiful and well-thought out as in my Software Engineering classes, but is this really it?

So looking at my still unfinished studies, the feeling that I am not able to contribute in a meaningful way to the code base of one of my clients and having quite a low income I can't help but feel like I am just incompetent.

I get it, impostor syndrome and all of that, but I really get the feeling it is not just impostor syndrome but fact.

Random strangers on the internet, what would you do in my situation? I don't know how to overcome this.
What you claim is truly insulting to PhD students in hard science, especially in a country like France where academia is underfunded.

Universities don't hand out PhDs to just anyone who can spare a few years writing non-sensical papers for free.

Try to get into a half-decent MSc program, let alone doctoral school, without the relevant undergrad degree. If you aren't TV famous, good luck with that.
Good work. This looks very interesting.

A question:

Some VPS hosting providers let you upload a custom OS image to their servers. Was NiceOS created for such a scenario? For example, if you wanted to distribute a VPS image to customers so they could self-install a web app. Would NiceOS be suitable for a task like this? (Example: NiceOS + PHP + web server + database - all pre-configured. )

Self-hosting remains complicated and impossible for non-technical users. No-one appears to have solved this problem (Docker, Cloudron, Sandstorm are not easy for non-technical users).

I can see that a minimalist VPS OS image configured around a single web app might make self-install a tad bit easier.

By the way, you should add the text 'Show HN:' to the title of your post so others find it more easily.

Good luck with you project!
I can say I have heard this from native speakers, but I can't pull up any YouTube links right now. I suspect I've heard it from people who don't always go by the spelling pronunciation, in the same way many people who insert a T sound into often don't always do so. (I include myself in the "variable often" group.)

For what it's worth the Oxford English Dictionary lists /ˈtɔːtɔɪs/ ("TAW-toice") and /'tɔːtɔɪz/ ("TAW-toiz") as alternate pronunciations in British English. This appears to be the result of a revision made to the entry sometime after 1989. (The public-facing revision history is not very precise.)
Understood -- I can agree with that in general.

BTW I totally understand that HN is not Debate Club, and that comments aren't required to be formal, rigorous, evidence-based arguments. Occasionally I just feel compelled to point out times when beliefs about people in general are used to justify accusations against specific people in specific circumstances -- even when I can empathize with the original sentiment, as was the case with the OP.
But...that was exactly the question the article had. Should drum be the enclosing class, or should stick be? What he cares about is the verb play, but he has to encapsulate it in a noun, and none of the ones actually involved dominate so clearly as to moot having to make a choice.

In the US, the facts in a phone book (names, numbers, addresses) are not copyrightable and neither is the collection. However, see the bit at the end about compilations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_Publications,_Inc.,_v._R....

I wonder whether "fake facts" (bogus names, numbers, addresses) are copyrightable. If they are, they can be used to give copyright protection to a collection even when the bulk of the collection isn't copyrightable.

Read the article.
I just bought a new Intel CPU that draws 125-241W (they don't give a TDP any more) and it only has 8 cores. It is very fast, though.

I don't think 250W is outrageous for a chip with this much logic on it.
I sometimes like to read the paragraphs to know why some things are done and possible substitutions, specially if I'm not going to make the recipe immediately. But when I want to make it, I really would love to have it separated from the text.
This, right here, is blatant theft, and unauthorized utilization of consumer resources. I don't care if there is a clause in there about "You consent to blahblahblah."
WindowBlinds had some similar features, but I’m pretty sure Compiz almost immediately did far more. The state of the art third party software on Windows in the 2000s tended to try to emulate Vista Aero on XP, or skin Vista/7 differently but with similar functionality. The Molten theme from WindowBlinds 6 is somewhat reminiscent of burning windows, but I don’t think it actually did that. Maybe at some point you could burn the start menu down, I can’t remember.

Some stuff, like the desktop cube, could be emulated, but not too well. On Compiz, everything was drawing during the animation, showing off the modular compositing that it enabled, whereas most desktop cube toys didn’t update the screen while rotating, making it less impressive.
I feel nostalgic when I see formatting complaints, as my defaults on iOS are to put all sites on "reader mode" unless whitelisted. Annoying sometimes but almost never have formatting issues.
There is a similar problem with Go dependencies in Debian (and Fedora for that matter). I'm not entirely convinced it still makes sense to insist on splitting the dependencies and mixing their versions stunningly at random hoping that if the build succeeded the resulting artefact works lin a fashion that the upstream developer intended. If the problem is about reproducibility, the upstream is already free to specify their desired versions of libraries, so why not treat the whole package (with vemdored dependencies) as a single artifact and call it a day? It's not like those dependencies can be separately updated like shared libraries. Packaging node apps this way would be pure madness, it's only that neither Rust nor Go have reached the same level of dependency hell that discussions like this are even held.
This is cool, but the fact that its written in JS tells me just about everything I need to know about gnome...

JS has its place, using it for systems programming isn't one of them IMHO, since I prefer to have the core of my computation stack slim and fast. I can almost forgive the electron apps their piggyness given the desire to build cross platform, but gnome? Yah, no thanks.
Recipe websites are a prime example of everything that is wrong with the web today. The bulk collection websites are primarily crap but for the same reasons as the personal branded websites. A shit ton of junk around a sometimes worthwhile background story or such and then the recipe all with shit tons of junk interrupting and destroying any sense of continuity. Fuck their stupid ads
Yeah.

It definitely did take over some part of the world. My parents live in the Romanian country-side, they're pensioners, my dad is crazy about historical SK dramas. Until his retirement he almost didn't watch any TV at all, let alone TV dramas of any kind. Granted, that type of content is not targeted at the HN crowd, for example, or at the "artsy" Western audiences, to give another example.

The same discussion can be had about Turkish TV dramas.

I'm on the waitlist. AIUI they intend this to be a paid service eventually, which is highly desirable to me. If it can be made to work, I would very much like a search service that is directly paid for by its users, rather than funded via side channels such as advertising or paid results placement that create skewed incentives.

If they're not ready to charge for use yet, a limited preview makes more sense than a public free service.

I did the same for sure, played every native linux game there was but at the time most of the game I played were rough under wine. CS: Source, TF2, L4D, and WoW were all pretty hard to get reliably running especially compared to their windows performance (note, this was 2007-2009 range). I still remember a youtube video showing WoW running on Wine and they had Compiz so you could see WoW running then they switched (using the rotating cube transition) to another desktop. The video claimed it was getting higher FPS on Linux+Wine vs Windows so I of course dropped everything to try it.... I did not have similar results.
