1. we dropped our newest topic search engine today at Breeze in honor of Guitar Day in the U.S.

2. tabs / tablature are chord arrangements are an alternative to sheet music for learning to play songs on bass, guitar, ukulele, harmonic and other instruments, re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablature

3. Breeze is a topic search engine that draws from Bing, Google, &/or live scrapes; our most noted search engine to date is for VC blogs over at AskAnything.vc, which was an early experiment

4. Breeze's main domain is https://breezethat.com/, which will be where most topics will be released -- our current cadence is about one new topic / week

5. We're fully bootstrapped, and we are currently experimenting with various launch channels for specific topics, such as today's very so-so showing on Product Hunt (!), re: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/breeze-guitar-tabs-search-...

6. I'm the founder -- you may know me as @DotDotJames on Twitter -- my PhD dissertation was on making math for search engines faster -- my user name here on HN is derived from that work around creating efficient canonical labelings and how it applies in certain linear algebraic contexts

7. if you read this far -- Breeze is basically deep reddit -- we'll be unveiling community features very soon, along with our plan for assuring user privacy as we evolve forward -- for example, this will include disclosing the key sources for each topic and some sort of red / yellow / green indicator if that particular topic search is fully privatized

8. as an example, guitar tab search is derived from Google and while we don't track you, ymmv with Google CSEs, whereas AskAnything.vc is Bing based (as are very many alt search engines). Most of the real-time shopping searches in our pipeline are scraped by us, often with YaCY and fully privacy protecting.

9. Our stack is basically Eleventy + Bootstrap + Cloudflare + Bing / Google / YaCY, where the hosting combo is Cloudflare + Bing / Google + Digital Ocean for YaCY.

10. I wrote most of the code, it's pretty basic and intentionally so for lots of reasons -- partly bandwidth & we're obsessively interested in fast load times -- some glaring errors we need to fix is that our img tags for breakpoints & shift Font Awesome to a self-hosted subset & same for Bootstrap. Fortunately, static site pages on Cloudflare is insanely fast, so that's backlogged atm.

11. Our accessibility is pretty meh atm -- I specifically initiated a major step of fixing that today, more as develops

12. fire away & thanks for letting me mostly hang back these past few years

13. Baker's dozen -- happy Friday / Saturday!
Which carrier do you use ?
I am not sure what do you mean by "realistic spacing/placement of structures", could you elaborate? Do you mean that in reality you would not build a farm next to a blast furnace? That's true, we did not implement any mechanics regarding building proximity to others, but that is certainly an interesting idea!

When I mentioned our focus on reality, I meant that the mechanics and processes are mostly driven how things are done in the real world and by playing the game you can even learn something new (e.g. steel production needs oxygen). However, it is a game and this can be done only to a certain degree, especially the early game has a lot of "shortcuts".

As an example of realistic mechanics and processes, you build excavators that mine ores and coal, trucks haul materials around the factory, terrain collapses as it is being mined, iron and steel smelting produces slag that needs to be disposed, fertilizer for farms is made from ammonia (synthetic process) or from compost (natural process), etc. (see our wiki for more https://wiki.captain-of-industry.com/ ).
> If they can't tell the difference between an "associate" and a software engineer I'd say I dodge a bullet then.

They very likely can do that, but if they think you're lying for some reason, that doesn't matter.

It's totally plausible that some shitty software engineers have trouble getting hired and may settle for other work in the interim. If they're unethical, then they may lie about that. One or two interviews may not detect a lot of issues someone like that may have.
> he doesn't mention the very unsubtle commentary of you basically strip mining an alien planet clean mutating the wild life into a homicidal frenzy in desperate attempt to stop you from killing their home with pollution.

People who get hung up on this are pretty shallow though. It’s such a tiring trope of “oh no, look at how bad colonialism is”. There is a lot of good stuff to discuss about the game beyond the sophomoric analogies with the native aliens.

When people are discussing things like call of duty, battlefield, etc it would be equally as idiotic to discuss “the unsubtle commentary of the horrors of war”.
I can't help but feel like you've got a deep case of confirmation bias here.

> Consider, for example, the obsession in Christian countries with equality. They almost fall over themselves to welcome people from different ethnic backgrounds. [...]

This is true in anglophone countries, sure, but it's less the case in europe and in particular, say, eastern europe or the balkans: ignoring albania/kosovo/bosnia, you've got plenty of heavily christian countries there who are not so open to people of different ethnic groups (well, which deviate from ethnic groups common to the region). You'll be treated more or less well but still fundamentally considered an outsider, and may not be welcome depending on where you go. Consider otherwise the armenians who, while I'm heavily leaning on stereotypes, are still quite well known for being both 1. pretty deeply culturally christians, and 2. a pretty closed-off community that often intermarry (although I do know there's often intermarriages with greeks and georgians)

I would agree with your point, but I would warn you not to assume that everything true of americans and/or anglophone countries often follows closely in other christian countries.
That was decades ago though. AFAIK nowadays all countries operate large banks - the UK has a big one. It s likely that a donor CAN be found through such banks. Besides, this kind of commercial approach is not systematic and doesnt guarantee diversity of samples in any way -- in fact people from economically disadvantaged genetic backgrounds will have less access to it. Diversity is somethign that public bases do take into account.
Bitburner is a pure coding factory-must-grow game. it's like your "run scripts to automate things in the game" without anything else
Consider that 536, "the worst year in history", fell right into the century of steepest decline.
Yep, I look at this as a builder vs an engineer.

A lot of modern entry-level programming is the same as builder-work... take a brick, take some cement, spread the cement, put the brick in the right place, and in the corners, cut a brick to size. Yes, sure, we need a lot of those people doing random programming jobs too.

But, if you want to build something bigger than a doghouse, you also need a lot of math and calculations, before you even touch the first shovel, to calculate if the whole project is even theoretically feasable. Stuff that works in low scale, sometimes breaks horribly, with larger amounts of data, and i'm not talking facebook scale, but going from 10 to 500 users. If you want to go higher, things become even more broken for someone who just "lays bricks", and a lot more thought and math is needed to make things actually work (and scale).

How so?
Yeah, none of the surveillance I'm talking about with the other parents I know is secretive. The kids seem to have been groomed to accept it from very young ages, so they all know it is happening.

“ You don't need to have a structure in mind before writing. Just focus on ideas; the structure will emerge.”

I’ve been obsessing over this idea for a while now. Never got around to implementing anything, but I really like the thought of just barfing things into my keyboard and having it all available at the speed of thought.

Hope you achieve some success to this end :)
We are a lot less violent on average, though. Hunter-gatherer societies tend to war a lot. We don't see it as high-intensity conflict because of the low casualty numbers and lack of pitched battles. But when you look at it as percentage of the overall population, it turns out to be worse than our worst conflicts.

(To be clear, not all hunter-gatherer societies are like that. Some are more peaceful than others, and there are extremes like the Moriori. But the average is what it is.)
>Sal can afford $1500/mo for a mortgage, regardless of interest rates.

If interest rates are 15% like they were in the early 80s, Sal will be expecting salary increases of >15% a year to keep up, so that $1500/mo won't stay that way for long.
> Personally think Google should get rid of them as they are a travesty to online privacy.

More likely that Google would buy them.
You're right that this assumes an account. The way that cross device/browser identification works in IPA is that if you are logged into example.com (though realistically, often Facebook) then it can set a "match key" which is the same on device and browser. You can't read the match key, only write it. This match key is used to link up activities on both. The point of the crypto is to rerandomize the match key that appears in the reports so that it is possible two see that two actions are from the same device but not link that back up to the original match key. Note that in this proposal, the assumption is that anyone would be able to use anyone else's match key (addressed by origin) so that it's not a big advantage to be the site with the account.

Re whether this is a regression or not: I am not an expert on how the current attribution mechanism works but I believe that if people are logged into (for instance) Facebook then Facebook can use that to correlate clicks on device A with purchases on device B.
Does intermediate distribution here correspond to a Sampling distribution? If so I think you got it right.
So far I haven't had this issue. I am in Seattle (for years), still have my 415 (San Francisco) phone number, and can still filter spam by ignoring calls from 415.

Yes, but still checking Hacker News.
> given that it doesn't introduce any more vulnerabilities

I think this is where we are in disagreement. You're adding code to Node core in order to support this, which opens the door to new vulnerabilities (bugs) by definition, because people make mistakes. Now you will have two code systems to scrutinize and maintain that are doing essentially the same thing. I don't think the arguably-slightly-better ergonomics of HTTPS imports justifies the increased risk.
On the subreddit, I once read a good argument that perhaps the backstory is actually more sinister. Supposedly you're crashlanded … but you launch a satellite? (Instead of ever escaping?) The poster supposed that, what if the narrator is a faulty narrator, and in reality, our character has been sent as a sort of advanced terraforming agent send to prepare the planet for colonization or such. After all, the engineer needs no sleep, no food, never seems to tire, can somehow research a wide range of complex technology on his or her own. Perhaps the PC has simply been led, or programmed, to believe that he's crash landed (or perhaps that's even the truth, just the crash landing was on purpose, to deliver him to the planet), and programmed such that he can't recognize the cognitive dissonance of getting to a rocket but never leaving, always expanding …
Native esmodule loading has been a thing since node 12, almost 3 years ago. You just have to turn on a flag or use the `.mjs` file extension.
It can be meaningfully published as "someone should look into this". That's not nothing.
> I don't understand why Mozilla would do this.

I mean, they are currently on life support by another anti-privacy competitor who is responsible for >85% of Mozilla's revenue, so for them to work with more companies against their mission statement on being 'privacy first' seems like another let down and damaging to that purpose.

They have some framework that achieves high level compute!
This will sound very weird, but I kind of hate that they include Google among the vendors they report to, provide a deadline and grace period for, and track responses from. It's actually not their responsibility to do anything like that; if Microsoft and Apple are unhappy that P0 is targeting them, they should respond by standing up their own P0 teams and hammering Google, rather than having everyone operate under the fiction that it's OK for Google to be the only major vendor doing this work.

(I'm of course not saying P0 shouldn't target Google, just that Google shouldn't have to be publicly accountable to Google P0).
How about anything with a membership fee?

The token is the mag-key-card that opens the doors to your local gymnasium.

Or a database entry that gets checked when you show your personal ID to get into the flight club lounge you bought lifetime access to via Amex club

etc.
I don't understand why this is called an attack. Looks like just a (very cool!) communication protocol, over an unusual medium?
I kind of like that its dark, the aliens attack because of the pollution you create, and yet still the factory grows and I clear the hives with better weaponry.

Its has some connection to reality that cuts deep and yet I want to play more get my SPM to go higher, it feels like everything wrong with modern life depressing and fun at the same time.
I am aware of this. Plus there are constant power attacks when one disconnects the disk while the system is suspended when the key is unlocked on the disk.

But this is a development machine and I figured out that surprisingly non-trivial overhead of LUKS encryption in Linux is not worth it. On the plus side wake up from hibernation is very fast and to mitigate the risk of the above I configured the laptop to hibernate shortly after suspend.
You're correct that low level details very much matter in the HPC space. The types of optimizations described in this paper are exactly that!

> Where I live (Wales, UK), it was illegal to have anyone in your house (and obviously, that meant you also couldn't go into anyone else's house) until mid-2021.

Maybe lead with that specific, then. You know, the idea that people weren't properly accounting for Wales, rather than what you said, which was that people weren't properly accounting for those with children.

Though if we're accounting for Wales, my understanding is that like the rest of the UK (and similar to many other western countries) it had established "alert levels" as described here:

https://gov.wales/covid-19-alert-levels

with restrictions that varied over time. Looking at the alert levels for early 2021 via the wayback machine, it seems like up through Alert Level 3 [0], it's hard to read the restrictions as "illegal to have anyone in your house" so I don't know what to make of that. Even if we're saying Alert Level 4 [1] was simply constant from 2020 onset through mid 2021, the language under that seems to have some wiggle room in it.

> Do not patronise me

If acknowledgement that there were genuine struggles alongside examining the shortcomings in generalizations within your comment feels patronizing, I can drop the empathy. Would that be better for you, or would you like us to stick with politely allowing that regrettable difficulty and acceptable adaptation could actually overlap?

Services exist since a very long time now. The reality in the field seems to be that doctors are skeptical of the benefits due to lack of research breakthroughs. If you store the cells for 20 years, it's also a question as to whether they are still usable or have degraded when stored for so long.

Curious if you have any thoughts and of course, good luck with your company!
This is great! Couple of questions…

> art funded during the New Deal

I've seen it. Not impressed. But heck, why don't you pay an artist to make some more for you? (We both know why <g>)

> the measure of art isn't mass appeal

Yeah, it is. Consider The Beatles, one of a looong list of examples. Though they didn't take off until they got a manager who understood marketing. They still weren't government funded.

> Van Gogh

was very bad at marketing. It turned out he didn't need government funding, either. And people are willing to personally pay for his art, though the prices they fetch means it's likely 99% virtue signalling.
Staking
Why not? It really strengthens the message.
If I follow you, I think this is unfortunately a limitation of ProseMirror witch is the underling library TipTap is built on. From memory they haven’t completed it due to issues with how browsers handle text cursors in online nodes.

It’s a year since I last tried something similar and I think I ended up layering elements on top of where I wanted them from outside the editable element in combination with marks.

Don’t take my word for it though as a little out of practice with TipTap, it and ProseMirror are awesome though!
the parent to whom i was responding to said it is sufficient. it is sufficient only in retrospect at which point it is a truism. the point i trying to make is that even in places where there is major conflict a lot of people do not realize that they will make a right decision. having a mechanism to move their money might help them to make a safer decision
I think you're maybe confusing what's effectively a namespace and point in time install with a dynamic import.

Otherwise there's no difference between http "imports" and any dependency management system (which ultimately import from some http endpoint)
There is a strong selection bias at work: molecules made and operated on by living systems are chosen according to available energy.

A world evolved under lower energies and temperatures would select chemicals with weaker bonds. Other worlds evolved under higher energies and temperatures would select chemicals with stronger bonds.

Visible light is visible to us because it is important for molecules we use.

This is not to say that all points on the energy continuum are equally favorable to potential metabolic processes, but life adapts to conditions, even where they are not optimal. I don't know of any reason to assume the regime where Earth life has landed is optimal, but it has proven more than adequate.
Good point well made - my mistake.

Can we crowdfund for the guys of ungoogled chromium to provide official reproducible binaries? I feel completely out of luck looking for alternatives to Firefox.

Last time a looked ungoogled chromium was being served by whoever was willing to build it and upload the binary, this doesn’t gives me a lot of trust. I also don’t have computer power/ Knowledge to build this behemoth.

Ps. There will be a lot of shadowbans going on /r/Firefox this week. Last time I tried to politely complain there I was almost immediately shadowbanned.
The average NYT Reader knows what an F150 would do if driven over a husband. Presumably, the average NYT Reader does not know about the capabilities of tracking devices or the ramifications of stashing them on a husband's person. I personally kind of knew about Airtags and knew nothing about Tiles until a fairly recent Hacker News post, and it was news to me how Airtags used surrounding devices for locational info.

Furthermore, there's a place for journalism that grounds a hypothetical experience in descriptive prose / photography in order to transform abstract facts to something closer to lived experience. In that aforementioned HN post I learned about using those devices for stalking as a hypothetical, but this article's actual photographs did make me uncomfortable and drove home the ramifications.
This may sound nuts - but I don’t want certain kinds of security.

For example, I don’t want my home in specific to be safe – I want my society to be safe. So I’m less interested in cameras/locks and more interested in social programs, education, and access to resources.

As another example familiar to those who travel in wild places, there’s not much value in trying to avoid getting robbed. Mitigate the losses with pragmatic decisions but by all means enjoy a great adventure. (Preventing violence is a different equation.) Being robbed might be scary - but there are much more important things worthy of attention in some of these places.

Last example, closer to privacy -> One of the healthiest opportunities for humans is to get early morning light (it establishes endocrine function, literally curing depression) - for most people sacrificing this is not worth increased privacy in the form of closed blinds.

Calculations of privacy and security are rarely intuitive. They inherently touch numerous webs of interconnection. And folks who use AirTags will find the same challenges and realize similar lessons.
