That's one of a couple of times[1] in my life where I felt what I think people describe as my blood freezing. I knew I hadn't installed that thing and I had no clue how it had gotten there and I too thought I had gotten some malware that even I had neither managed to evade nor caught immediately (I can think of two cases of the latter from the top of my head, one drive by on a completely innocent blog and one where a previously nice program suddenly bundled ad or malware).

Somewhat fortunately for me in the long run I am such a wasted brat when it comes to software that I had to forgive them - I can't stand working in Chrome or Vivaldi, and not only because I don't like Google because I did back then, but for my use cases it is so clumsy (the way tabs work, how it can't handle a few hundred tabs, how it still doesn't support vertical tabs etc).

[1]: the other time being when I had been married a couple of years and found a letter in the paper bin saying that one of my mortgages had defaulted - long story short it went well but I was shivering at the time).
I haven't seen any issues with my 10+ year old accounts. They are probably marked as safe and only newer accounts at risk.
What are you comparing against? VSCode with a ton of plugins to almost match IntelliJ? Because that's a lot slower than IntelliJ in my experience, not even close...

I am currently using IntelliJ heavily at work and I would agree it was too slow for a gigantic project we have... but there's literally no alternatives that work nearly as great (Eclipse, Emacs, VSCode, tried them all, they mostly can't even load a project like ours --- Eclipse can but it's a pain to index everything on re-builds)... but since I got a Mac M1 Pro, IntelliJ again feels light and snappy :D unfortunately, having the best hardware possible seems necessary now, as ever.
Well, isn't that what being a science fiction author is all about -- predicting the future? :-D

But glad to see Pohl was so great at that too, besides the actual craft of writing.
Fine if all you need is one connection, but PuTTY has "bookmarks and settings management" on top of that.
Doing this for an on-site position is ballsy but for remote jobs this is more common than you think. This has happened to me at least 3 times
I'm utterly amazed at how ban-wild some communities can be. I occasionally see stories of people being banned from communities they've never posted to (reading/lurking only) simply because they also subscribe to another community that is "opposite" of the first.

Take /r/novavax_vaccine_talk for example. There was recently a member [1] there who was banned from /r/coronavirus simply for being a member. These people aren't anti-vax by any means, but because it doesn't "fit the picture" they get ousted.

I did see that in the article but I'm not sure what the link is.

A private company managed block list is very different in nature to requiring that adult content providers implement age verification, with a human regulatory process that kicks in if they refuse.

Indeed one could argue that by making this a requirement of the website, and making the web safe by default, it negates the need for these overly puritanical 3rd party blocklists and actually increases access to non-pornographic LGBT material. It's a weak argument, but two can play at that game...

I wonder what APIs are so late in firefox that devs have trouble supporting it. (honest question).

I was under the impression that most things were stable or that most major browsers implemented things at a similar pace.
I don't know why you cannot "overwrite" existing structs but to be fair whatever system you use to program in a stateful manner in the REPL will have some problems.

Just hit this one: after rewriting a function I don't see any change in behavior. Reason: I overwrote the function but the more specialized one was being called.

But there are plenty more. After some time it's just better to nuke the REPL and start clean. That said, I love programming in the REPL.
Not overreacting. It can happen to anyone of us and we just ignore it, keep going, and think "it will probably never be me, only happens to others". Until it it us.
Week-long lulls are rare - but you do get prolonged periods of lower winds, so you need oversupply to deal with that:

But absolutely, better despatch, better demand shaping, and better storage would all be awesome. I hope we can get storage cheap and prolific enough to avoid the need for nuclear entirely.
Fastmail.com / Pobox.com

I've used pobox.com since 1996. They forward inbound mail to somewhere else, and provide an outgoing SMTP server. So you can manage your email at Google or Apple or Microsoft or wherever, and change that whenever you like, while retaining the same public email address.

Fastmail, OTOH, provides a full IMAP+SMTP service, plus CalDAV and CardDAV. So it's a complete replacement for Google/iCloud/Outlook. It's a paid service, and they are very aware that if you're actually paying, you need decent support. You can use your own domain name too. They've been around since 1999.

Not email, but I can also recommend Fruux as a standalone CalDAV + CardDAV provider. It just works, at least for me. I think they've been in business since 2007.

I find the Chat feature to be an awful addition as well. Sometimes when I'm trying to sell things, people will send a chat instead of an Inbox message and I end up not seeing it for days because there's not much of a notification and Apollo for iOS doesn't support chat (maybe no unofficial Reddit client does?)
I have ideas on how to prevent crimes before they happen. Nobody cares about them because there is no glory.
"They appear to get some kind of sadistic pleasure in reading ban appeals and denying them, knowing full well that the bans are improper and the appeals are justified."

Or they get pleasure by making more money, in not paying enough people to manual review issues.
You could even argue that you should own your "free" services, since you pay for them indirectly (through buying products of companies that buy ads, and by watching ads).
I made a 17km long ago without issues (only local slowdowns) but my body was different, hence my question.

Thanks for the chuckle :-)
tbh its not even that hard in the most employee protecting jurisdiciton, which tend to also have the highest indrect cost for an employee as well.

The laws typically align with the values and sensibilities in the societies, but its a tiny bit easier in practice (if you really want to) to make happen. In the USA people think it is easy, especially at will states - even easier than they think. The UK people think it is moderately difficult; its actually pretty easy. France people think it is impossible, its moderately difficult at best, expsensive (like a couple of months salary) at worst, and within probations and first couple of years, pretty easy.

Culturally however, a) people dont like firing people and b) they want to believe that they are unfirable as well. So rather than pay an employee 3 months severance they linger on for years.
I often did that. It's a nice feeling when you just walk-as-pause after a good run then when you're still warm and rested you feel the desire to resume the run :)

The design looks great, and behaves good on smaller width screens. However, the site breaks a bit when you have a smaller height screen. Maybe thats something you could fix :)
Thomas Ptacek and Don Hopkins are two examples of very high-profile users who routinely post guidelines-breaking comments without being downvoted, flagged, or chastised by mods.

Even if you were to concede that, you'd probably counter that you can't read all the comments. And, of course, that is so. But that is beside the point that I have made many times before: the community's bias allows such users (and those who espouse certain views) to break the guidelines without penalty, while heavily penalizing others and those with contrary views.

Every time I see you tell someone that moderator bias is an illusion, I can't help but think that you are talking past each other, because the elephant in the room (which I have rarely seen you even acknowledge) is the extreme bias in the community's downvoting and flagging behavior, which naturally results in the official moderation actions being biased toward what is flagged, which amounts to a de facto official moderation bias. (If a community only calls the police when certain groups of people break the law, the police's actions will naturally be biased toward enforcing against those groups of people, because they aren't omniscient.)

By the time any country in the west actually gets round to finishing enough grid-connected reactors to make a difference, we will be storing enough renewable energy through batteries and green hydrogen from seawater that the reactors will be expensive white elephants.

The ramp-up time on reactors is just too long, the capital investments too big, and the reactors themselves too inflexible. Combined with the lack of appetite from the public for new reactors, it's just not worth it.

Just like how wind and solar became cheap and widespread over the last decade, grid-scale energy storage is going to be the big change in the energy market over the coming decade.

Surprisingly, it's going to be the fossil fuel industry that will make it happen, because they have the money and the will, and because selling green hydrogen and gas turbine electricity generation capacity allows them to transition to a low carbon future without changing their business model much.
Just like the Russo-Georgian War of '08. Interesting coincidence, it happened while the Chinese Olympics were going on. Are we due for a repeat while all(most) eyes are on China?

Since we are taking jabs at countries for 'liberty', most of the world is not running a spying machine that would make Soviet Union green with envy.

Back to the practical problems, conflating personal liberty and rights of giant corporations to spy on your and sell your private information is rather unhelpfull. I don't think anyone is buying it.
A few years back I started completely separating my Windows/gaming system from anything I care about, which includes any credentials. While I never really considered Reddit an "important" credential for my main account, I decided to avoid starting a slippery slope and created a separate account for my gaming system since I am usually reading subreddits related to the games I play and want to post comments.

For the most part this worked great. Except one day I happened to post from my main account before a gaming session to a popular gaming subreddit while there was a controversial debate happening. The debate exceeded the mods ability to manage the discussions and so a large sweeping keyword temporary ban was put into effect and anyone who violated it received a 24 hour ban from the subreddit. Fine, whatever.

However, before I even knew I was temporarily banned on my main account I was logged into the gaming system and posting unrelated normal comments about the game. After a few hours I noticed that I wasn't getting the replies I normally would and I thought it was strange. Eventually I logged I went to check my email and stuff on my real computer and noticed the temporary ban message. Then I started looking at my gaming account in private browsing and noticed none of my comments appeared: it was shadowbanned. Not just in that subreddit but entirely. You actually couldn't even load my profile page content. The account would "exist" but none of my content such as pinned posts, avatar or bio/description etc. would be present.

I thought it was strange so I contacted Reddit. It was entirely automated I highly doubt a human was involved in responding to the message through their support channel. I got a canned message about how my account was circumventing a subreddit ban.

My guess is that anyone using a VPN or Tor is also having this same problem - probably just with a lot more subreddits and a lot more accounts though =/
also, if you fail to renew your domain, it should not go to someone else tomorrow (or even in a year, ... decade, maybe)

What separates poor farmers from say poor food truck owners?

The issue with farm subsidies is they don’t actually change profitability long term, they simply result in over production. It’s vastly more efficient to build up a long term storage of surplus say 2 years of corn per American stored at -40C which should last ~100 years. Then let huge swaths of American farmers go bankrupt as you scale back production. This was the basic model hundreds of years ago, they still had famines.

Alternatively you can push productivity while paying pay farmers not to produce anything on their land. This keeps them from going bankrupt and requires fewer resources than excess production. We used to do this, it reduces the risk of famine because productivity can be scaled up quickly.

Finally you can just massively subsidize production and dump the excess on foreign markets, this is really bad for other countries and costs insane amounts of money and still results in excess production even as everyone gets fat. This is where bio fuels come in.

PS: There are also secondary effects as subsidizing farm insurance etc, keeps incompetent farmers in business.

I get what the author is saying, but I write down ideas to delegate to myself for later exploration.

My experience is that this type of coding actually introduces more fragility and sensitivity to change. If you validate conditions you think will be true, but do not explicitly depend upon at every level the data passes through, you'll find your application randomly blowing up when those conditions change.

I think the problem boils down to a violation of separation of concerns. Defensive code inevitably concerns itself with ensuring guarantees about state that is the concern of other modules.
Probably the safest address is with your national telco monopoly or a similiar provider.

There is nothing false about the laffer curve. What is contentious is what the optimal rate is. There is no evidence that I’m aware of that says the optimal is 1% or 99%.
'Smart' generally implies that it can do something on it's own.

I want to crop an image, I give it parameters for how I want the outputted, cropped image.
If I use a smart crop function, I expect it to use some engineering magic to determine where the activity is happening in the image, and making it's own estimated crop.
> Practical: no "actual" portfolio except 2 links/why do you want people to visit the site?

Not OP, but I hate having to update multiple sources when I update my portfolio. I jumped through some hoops to get around that and I'm still not content with my setup. Not sure if that's the reason OP didn't put his resume on his site, but if it is, I sympathize.
Sure. I'd suggest getting into Discord communities, of course not "shitcoins" and "ponzi-like tokens" but the ones that do actual developments for NFT platforms, DeFis, DAOs and blockchain gaming (which I personally believe has a great future).

Learning Solidity for EVM-based chains and Rust (my next personal goal) for Solana is a good start.

A toy NFT project (or whatever interests you) on your local chain might be a nice start to get used to the mechanics.

Having read this entire comment sub-thread I think you should spend some time operating some small and nimble piece of equipment in an open pit mine, a rail yard or a harbor. The rules on the road are not perfect but they are not arbitrary and exposure to even bigger size differences makes the reasons slightly more obvious.

Except some of the people they've banned were making them lots of money, so it's not as simple as your suggestion.
I never understood how people can use browser tabs this way. If open tabs represent your backlog of stuff to come back to later, what represents your "current working set"? How can you concentrate on one task when there's so much other stuff open?

If I don't need something right now, it is stored in a read it later service (blog post, news articles) or a bookmark service (software projects, company web pages, etc).
Re Linear B, it's also worth pointing out that prior to its decipherment the prevailing view was that it wasn't Greek; Ventris spent most of his time trying to align it to Etruscan, and only made the breakthrough when he tried out a few Greek words more or less on a whim. I imagine that had almost any form of computerised automation been readily available in the 50s it would have made the decipherment vastly simpler, but it would require an existing hypothesis of Greek; an AI trying to fit it to Etruscan would have been merely banging its head against an electronic wall.
To be fair, the OP submission at least features properly-proportioned humans.
Here's what should be an obvious one: any time I see communism criticized, the comment gets downvoted, and often flagged. Even comments written by people who lived in communist states, offering first-hand accounts, without breaking any HN guidelines, get downvoted and flagged.

In the same threads, "conservatives" and "conservatism" and Republicans and "liberty" are freely condemned, mocked, and accused of all sorts of evil behaviors and intent, without even being downvoted, much less flagged.

This happens regularly, any time these topics come up in a popular thread. So it's hard for me to understand how you could be unaware of this de facto community bias.

I disagree. The comment is related to the discussion (about SEC action) and the comment was pretty interesting and added value to the comment section

On the other hand, posting shallow dismissals and implying that they haven't read the article is not adding value to the comment section.

I experience people hating cheaters every other lobby. Mostly they can't proof someone is indeed cheating. In any case, watching the demo after the game will make them begrudgingly admit that the other guy really was better than us.

> if you have to guess if someone is a hacker to determine if you're able to defeat them, that's a surprise, and no fun

Seems like you didn't understand my argument. If someone is indeed cheating and you don't notice anything fishy, how do you know that he isn't just a better player? If you can clearly see that he's cheating, how is that player not banned after a short amount of time?
You're putting words in other people's mouths. Are you some kind of Russian propaganda shill?
