Humans can be surprisingly useful still, even if we are very costly to maintain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox

I'm hopeful about artificial magnetic fields - modern superconducting magnets could do wonders in orbit with solar power.

Or here's sending ions from Phobos to do it:

I'm more interested in replies to replies to my comments anyway most of the time.
To be fair, what was called Haskell prime and ended up being I guess Haskell 2010 also took forever.

Haskell users have strong opinions about language syntax- I suppose moreso than your averaged user base. It may take a generation as Doug crockford says for those options to die and retire so new ones can come take their place. Looks like that still holds.
> First, the addresses are too damn long and unwieldy to really be used

How so? The network-prefix portion of IPv6 is 64 bits, which is a pretty conservative extension of ipv4. Everything after that is under the control of end users, so nothing's stopping them from manually assigning simple ::1, ::2 etc. values for the host identifier part - or whatever addressing scheme happens to be most convenient for any given application.
Those are usually business decisions.

Pay an extra $$$ for an outage scenario that occurs once a month, and doesn't materially impact our users? Hell no.

Spend XXX developer hours and/or $$$ on hardware to make the site 50% faster, instead of adding new features our users pay for? Hell no.

And let's be honest, for touting speed, Google's awfully slow and bloated these days.
IMO unless there is some technical writer around there, which job is to put that doco right - extract the info from people heads, combine it and word it properly.. it's not happening. For 30+ years only few times i have not been the lonely editor of the project wiki (or whatever knowledge-base).. and i dont like doing it either.. but have to, as it's worse otherwise.

Writing (succint, correct, tautological where needed and non-dubious all-over) text is very hard, and very very different to coding, or any math-like thinking. Because the human language allows to do anything with it. (Esp. if foreign language, that adds another dimension to what that anything means). It needs (skill and) different frame of mind, and switching to and from isn't easy.

Which is probably main unspoken reason why developers avoid it (most techincal people actualy, mechanical engineers also dont really like writing documentation) - apart of other usual reasons, like lack of time, whatever..
I'd never change that setting, so mine definitely defaulted to the shared vault. There could be any number of possible reasons it set that as the default, but my guess would be the order I migrated vaults over from the good old days where we could choose how we shared and synced. The fact that it is even possible still seems like a bug to me.
I was going to say the same thing. While it may be true that beginners are not sufficiently appreciated or that error quality is not sufficiently prioritized, these extrapolations do seem a little rude in the context of what is effectively a defect report to a volunteer project.
I don't have a great answer unfortunately. My best attempt would involve walking back my use of "knowledge" as both an asset and liability, and instead I'd try to add some distinction, i.e: maybe describe "knowledge" as the asset and "documentation" as the liability.

Knowledge is something you consume, digest and then use to inform thinking. New knowledge is built on old, and business outputs can be traced back through the knowledge that shaped them. Documentation, on the other hand, is a statement of fact(s) that are applicable only in a specific context (often temporal) that do not contribute to the evolution of a business.

Liabilities aren't inherently negative, they're a valuable tool in the right circumstance: a piece of documentation written for a customer support agent describing "how to issue a refund" has value but it can't be leveraged to grow the business, it can't be built upon, and it must be maintained. The business then must make a tradeoff between investing in knowledge or taking on liabilities.

If we were to represent this visually, knowledge would be the branches of a tree that other branches grow from, and documentation is a dead end.

Most of the documentation I've encountered in my professional life has been written to meet an arbitrary requirement for there to be "documentation" about an output, and so it's a rushed recital of the bare-minimum facts about a thing that exists. Nothing can grow from it. Whereas, when I've encountered it, the knowledge used along the way has been very valuable. A business can create an asset by capturing everything learned, and leverage that asset to inform the next decision, and so on and so forth. After all, that's what individual employees are doing already, it's just happening siloed in their heads.

Returning to the customer support example: years of knowledge collected about our business might teach us that our product's sizing is unique in the marketplace and many customers end up refunding their first purchase to order a different size. If issuing a refund takes 5 minutes per customer, and if all we have is documentation describing the 10 step process, a request from stakeholders to improve customer support efficiency might manifest itself as software development work to reduce issuing a refund to a 5 step process... but knowledge about the business would inform us that what customers really want is to ability to find the right size that fits. Rather than make a documented process easier, we might implement a purchase option where we charge for 1 item, send out 2 sizes, and the customer returns the one they don't want to keep. If all our business knowledge is captured, and not siloed, then a new employee should be able to theorise that, not only an employee who has been around from the start.

I'm not sure how confident I am in the way I've framed this, and using the word "documentation" seems like a risk because "documentation" means "everything written down" to most people, but I appreciate your question because it was interesting to think about: maybe someday I'll have more clarity in my thinking on this.
Nah.. I’ve had it disabled for years and still receive daily recruiter email.

Amazon is definitely the most frequent in the bunch, has been for years. At least 1-2 nice customized email a month.
Maybe. It’s more like it’s what a kid’s parents do when kids can no longer be kids and are driven to start working on their college applications earlier and earlier.

There’s more to life than getting into MIT.
you are pretty much guaranteed not to see replieds to older comments.

I consider this a feature, not a bug. IMO, it's good to let older conversations just kinda "run out of steam" as attention moves elsewhere. In my experience, extended discussions here tend to be unproductive flame-war level discussion. I don't see any value in making it easier to sustain that.
Trying to make this better. Finding something sometimes involves a combination of tools that have been adopted over the years.

The AWS horror stories never cease to amaze me. It's like we're banging our heads against the wall expecting a different outcome each time. What's more frustrating, the AWS zealots are quite happy to tell you how you're doing it wrong. It's the users fault for misusing the service. The reality is, AWS was built for a specific purpose and demographic of user. It's now complexity and scale makes it unusable for newer devs. I'd argue, we need a completely new experience for the next generation.
we need to identify the factors that enabled this awesome kid to have the background knowledge, tools, environment etc and see how we can replicate them to find other such diamonds in the wild...
Replygate?
Simpplr is in my opinion an inferior tool to Confluence or Notion. It works mostly well for static information and as a enterprise search tool, but won't help improving the underlying culture.

As for you ask, the best solution that I've found, is to let people document things on Github and index those documents in another tool. That way there is no duplication, you let people use the tool they know, can use Markdown, but still benefit from searching, assigning owner, up to date date, rights ... That's how we do it at Dokkument

Show HN: Hacker News clone using Remix and React
Hi all, author here.

This project was a pleasure to do, Remix has very good developer experience. But further than that it's actually a really good way to develop applications, it's a mix of old meets new where the paradigm encourages you to take advantage of web standards for data fetching (forms, links, a tags).

And it turns out that it's actually an optimal way to develop simple or even complex web applications which can deploy in a number of runtime environments (including edge workers). So you can get an insanely fast website for users. Note that this project is not necessarily an optimal website implementation (since it copies Hacker News) but rather it's intended to be useful as a starting point or reference for your own projects!

You can read about some of the benefits of it on the project page linked.

By the way I'm currently available to work (if you email me at clinton.dannolfo @gmail!)

Are you referring to their libpulse reimplementation? Because if so, that one got sacked a while back because they could not iron out the kinks. These days, PipeWire implements the PulseAudio server API directly, and this part is working absolutely perfectly for me. I'm even using pavucontrol to configure my PipeWire device profiles.
I mean agree. And I didn't necessarily mean that we'd want the frontend dev to do production design work. However, a savy UI dev that can prototype useful UI's, as well as make production UIs look and interact like production designs seems reasonable.
Does it matter? Watching everything through the myopic lens of "privilege" is wrong.

A kid can have an idea and parents can help. For now, the set of {kids, parents} that can do that is limited. But technology changes and becomes more accessible. What matters is the new things that become not just possible but easy and cheap.

For a previously "costly" problem that in 2012 would involve a 5 MP digital pictures + geotagging + OCR then sending the raws for GPU processing, any random smartphone from 2022 will do.

In 2012 you could have screamed "privilege!". Not in 2022.

As a kid, I'd have loved to try to hack together a app that recognizes mushrooms (or flowers, or fruits which I all found so super interesting, especially bugs and OMG they fly if I blew on them!!)

It would have been hard. I would have benefited from some help. But I would have had a lot of fun, after which I would have used the app to fill in the name for my leaf-book collection effort (I wanted to have a specimen of EVERYTHING from the garden, then from the street, then...)

I only had books and some websites and a bad camera. So I drew :) A kid now could have picture search engines like yandex to do better with a much better camera too (MACRO MODE!) and some generic photo processing software. A rich kid then could have had something similar, with an expansive Nikon camera, and photoshop (crop, filter...) and maybe some parental connections to biologists and botanists.

Is it privilege if they did? Yes. And it's wonderful because every kid has this privilege now! And they can have more fun!
Luckily that cost is fairly small, due to how bad GL drivers were on Windows ages ago Google initiated the LibAngle project that abstracted the GLES parts needed for WebGL(1&2) onto DirectX.
With much of the heavy lifting done for API support the code was then adopted as an abstraction for other low-level APIs, so iirc the recent WebGL 2 implementation that now bought us to this stage is also dependent on a fork of that lib that targets Metal. (And yes, it brings us a monoculture implementation but I'd rather have that than dozens of broken mainline OpenGL drivers from Intel, AMD and Nvidia).

That's the first time I've heard of batteries [for RAID controllers] having an entirely separate port than that which hooks them up to the controller. Is this a "there are some of X" or have I just been out of the loop?
"To help you fool yourself" seems like a euphemism for "to fool you". It's gotta be tough to go from "scant knowledge of S3" to genuine knowledge if the documentation is doing this to you.

If the docs are misrepresenting the details, who can blame the author of the post?
This feels right. When the brain fog hits, I need to workout to clear it.

The diataxis framework may also be useful for organisation here https://diataxis.fr/
It mostly does the opposite because it means getting replies quickly tapers off. After a few days the odds of keeping up a discussion are low, and older discussions are baiscally locked out forever.
It presumably defaults to whatever first vault that code path sees, so because of a race condition the shared vault could appear before the private one and thus becomes the default.
Well, this does look like a straight Wordle copy.

It is also disingenious to say that's a copy of Lingo, when it's bloody obvious it's a Wordle clone.

The fact that other clones were approved by Apple points at another issue.
> Any feedback here on this idea? I'm not out to ruin anyone's financial well-being or mental health, the exact opposite in fact.

Yes, as a person that's been in this since the 2nd Goxxing you can't really compete with the HFT bots back then as a privateer, the days of the willy bot collecting fat margins are all behind us since institutional money and corps with VC backing have entered this space.

With that said, I'd like to see returns which would have to span over 5+ years before I'd even consider using your service, the idea of just 'set it and forget it' in these markets is what created these hype bubbles and subsequent crash during the ICO bubble. Getting uninformed people into this space is not just wrong morally, it stifles progress long-term.

Granted 99% of alts are all pump and dump scams to begin with.

With that said, yeah trading is stressful, but you know what isn't 'holding your coins in cold storage' and it has been beating the traders with greater returns in all but the most recent quarter (assuming you bought at ATH).

You know what is also incredibly more stressful than that? Calculating your tax liability on short term capital gains and entering an incredibly opaque legal structure that even the IRS still hasn't completely clarified.
I thought apple owned the 17.0.0.0/8 netblock?
Why would that be relevant here (or sibling comment about Apple)? Last I checked except for 9.9.9.0/24 (to quad9) IBM is indeed the assignee for 9.0.0.0/8 from back in 1992. Apple got 17.0.0.0/8 back in 1990. Back in the day a lot of big entities got whole /8 blocks (including of course a lot of the USG but private corps as well). Many of them are still around and fully active, while others are defunct (Halliburton had a /8 and that went back to ARIN then out to registries) and/or have shifted (like IIRC Amazon now has 3.0.0.0/8 but that was General Electric originally). That's not squatting, that's just making use of what they have.

>I hope they stopped doing that, but I doubt it.

Why should they stop? Ideally we'd have had at least 64-bit or better 128-bit from the beginning in a nicer form then IPv6 ended up and then every single one of us could have millions of IPs if we wished. That isn't how it ended up but that doesn't mean those who got them shouldn't use them. I make use of my minuscule bit of public IPv4 for my own stuff.
Congratulations Linode. Where do you go from here?
I almost never turn on my camera unless I'm hosting a status meeting (and I don't expect other too). Most of my 'video' calls are with one or two other people debugging something and sharing my screen. When compiling and running stuff my pc is already struggling, no reason to bog it down more with someone's face.

The only people that seem to care about people turning on their camera are those who's job is to communicate with people all day long. I get it, but at the same time stop trying to change others behavior to make you happy.

It's a lot like those who hate work from home because they no longer have a social life. Don't make ME commute to work and fake 9+ hours of work so YOU can have a social life

> The "Covid State Project" is an academic consortium (so we can guess that their work won't replicate anyway)

I'm not sure what you mean by that (perhaps just a simple case of discrediting the messenger in order to ignore the message), but this fact:

> The single biggest predictor, by far, of belief in vaccine misinformation? Identifying as a Republican, reflecting the widespread misinformation and conspiracy theorizing about Covid on the right.

Is supported by polling, hospital rates, death rates, etc. Denying it because it makes your 'side' look bad is not only silly, but dangerous. People are dying.

We technical writers call this information architecture. It's a tough problem even for the people who do this every day.
The Moon has very little hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen, which Mars has in abundance. These are very important elements both for biology and chemistry. E.g. if you want to have a self-sufficient colony outside Earth, you could do it on Mars but not on the Moon.

Mars could be terraformed (in theory); the Moon never could.

"I did not realize it matters whether you're "in the field" or not, thinking that good contributions are welcomed equally as being good contributions."

It's not necessarily 'in the field' - I, for example, happily review things from economists, ecologists, epidemiologists, computer scientists, or mathematicians.

It's more "Here's my massive, probably undocumented spreadsheet - thoughts?" has a very low Bayesian prior for "Worth my time".

The article mentions the nuisance caused by darkstores, but does not go in depth. I've recently came across a small instagram [0] that details some of these. I want to mention some of the nuisances.

Especially in Amsterdam the infrastructure in neighbourhoods is not suitable, the stores need to re-up their supply many times a day (10-15 times), leading to (bike) traffic build up in the often narrow streets [1][2].

They also supply in the weekend, which goes against local ruling on when business can load/offload (generally not in the weekend).

Their scooters and bikes take up a lot of space on sidewalks as well, which normally was used by residents only.

A fundamental problem in programming languages is that (mostly) they expect you to sequence a number of events in time.

Functional and OO are not a big change over imperative in terms of that. Compilers and CPUs can reorder events and discover a little bit of parallelism but it's fundamentally limiting.

Declarative programming is something really different because there you are specifying what is to be done but not the order of events. The trouble with it is so far it has always been specialized (SQL) and there hasn't been a general toolbox to make it easy to make smart DSLs that really that efficient.
You just need a rainbow table of... 14 character... random passwords... across the allowed symbols. Should be able to build that with Cuda, OpenCL, or OpenMPI in a matter of X weeks given Y hardware budget. Sorry, solving for X and Y is left as an exercise for the reader.
I'd say the purpose of capitalism is not to decide "who gets what", but rather to lay the foundation that the society/country as a whole get as much as possible.
You can't use any 3rd party mail app on Android and the official one is really bad (no thread view, fails to send emails to some valid addresses…). Also, you can't two-way sync your contacts. And the encryption thing is not really useful since too few people are on Protonmail (so all your messages will be stored in plain text somewhere) and Protonmail will share your data anyway (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28427259).
