Mystery shows are a great place for guest actors since outside of the detective and his sidekick most of the cast is new for each episode. Plus it is fun to see semi-famous actors playing soon-to-be-dead people on shows, or clever murderers.

My wife is a big fan of the British mystery shows like Midsomar Murders and has made comments about how the same actors keep showing up across the different shows.

JS apps like this should be faster, since they are downloading the "shell" of the application once and simply rendering content from lightweight JSON data requests rather than requesting an entire HTML page and re-rendering it. (Which also requires the server to query and send back things the client already has, like your username and karma) Single page apps get a lot of hate here because they tend to end up as huge bloated applications (not that your typical website with ads and popups is any better), but it works great when done right.
> And this wealth inequality is mostly caused by people making dumb choices.

Sure, but where does that get us? What can we do about it? In the long run education should, one hopes, help. But given that wealth inequality is likely to be a feature of all but the most smurfy of societies, how do we want to manage it in ours?

(According to legend, the creator of the Smurfs was a staunch Communist and he designed the Smurfs to be a model Communist society. Supposedly the Smurfs are a kind of revenge for being denied entry to some nation or other for his political beliefs. I swear I 'm not making this up. The smurfs are ruled by a red father, they each are defined by their profession or main talent, they "give according to their ability and receive according to their need" without any money or economic system, and the guy who is their nemesis wants to eat them or turn them into gold. Oh and they have no women at first, and then they have one woman and her job is "woman". I don't know if that last part is particularly communist, but it's pretty messed up if you think about it. "Smurfs don't lay eggs! I won't tell you that again!")

This is one of my own frustrations with HN. The issue isn't quite as bad as on other discussion sites, but generally, conversations ... fade quickly. I'd like to see some kind of mechanism which works against this tendency.

That said, notifications of themselves ... probably aren't that. Though there might be ways to tweak the mechanic to induce this.

Google+ had a Notifications dynamic that seemed to work well in this effect, though it was somewhat specific to how that site was structured:

- Notifications were for specific discussions.

- Disucssions were hosted by a specific user.

- The Notification went out to all (recent-ish) participants in the discussion.

- Discussion hosts could moderate the thread. This was a two-edged sword, but tended to reduce spam and flamebait when used well.

- The Notifications Pane itself wasn't merely a "something happened" nag, but a site element where new comments could be directly responded to.

- Discussion threads were flat, with most-recent comments appearing at the bottom of the thread. I'd at first missed the threaded style, but came to appreciate a flat disucssion which didn't descend into long separated exchanges (frequently flamefests), and for which each subsequent response was an equal contribution to the thread.

- Total thread length was limited to 500 replies.

It's not the same as a topical or open-discussion formum, as with HN. But as a conversation-fostering platform given the right host and participants it could and often did work quite well.

A result was conversations which evolved naturally over days and weeks, sometimes months and years. Conversations didn't simply die.

No, S3, as MinIO, has a read-after-write consistency.

So indexing would block on either writes or reads until it is done. We block when doing the zip indexing, but that is much more lightweight - and we limit to 100MB ZIP directory. That way we don't risk long-blocking index operations.

I spent a few hours a while back writing up a reusable answer for this question, with lots of links from years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869.

The short answer is that not much has changed, including the perceptions of change (e.g. "HN is becoming 2005 Slashdot" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6157485 - August 2013.)

If anyone wants to understand our thinking about political topics on HN, here are some links:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21607844

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22902490

or you can look at these past explanations: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

p.s. In case anyone's worried, no, we're not letting (or going to let) HN be taken over by politics. The proportions are stable and carefully regulated, although there is fluctuation, as with any stochastic process.
Any reliability coming to those municipal utilities would be due to PG&E's transmission system.

No municipals, even the biggest like LA's, tackles anything near the scale of even our smallest IOU. Most critics of the IOUs ignore the sheer scale and geographic challenges of running a service area larger than some states across many different types of terrain. Running retail distribution and metering isn't that hard when other people run the grid for you. PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E have lots of issues to be sure, but to compare them to SMUD or Modesto is far from apples to apples.

Congrats on the launch. I've used Google Forms and Typeform before on different projects, both of which are simple to set up. But we've only ever put questionnaires on an external link. Do you have any data on whether in-app surveys get better responses than using a link to an external form like that? I can see why it would a better experience in-app, but does it make a big difference vs linking as far as response rates go?

Fun problem a few days ago: a slight design flaw allows a class of bug that a typechecker can't currently catch. Fixing the design flaw involves updating 25,000 lines across a few thousand files. Only 6 of the 25,000 lines demonstrated the bug (~1 in 4,000).

If we wait two months we can build a tool to catch the errors (and many others like it) without updating the code. The design flaw stays, but its impact is nullified.

Netflix pay is ridiculously high and they are really trigger happy about hiring and firing. The culture is, well, odd. If the pay wasn't so good it would definitely seem abusive, but it is high enough and they're transparent enough about it that I don't think anybody gets very upset.

My interview was cancelled halfway through because the third interviewer didn't like me. shrug
I call this "values in conflict", and it is by far the most interesting way to look at culture and values in an organization. For example: Almost every company today says that they value their customers. It has become fashionable to say that you are even customer obsessed.

On the other hand, almost all companies also say that they value their employees and want to respect their work-life balance and QoL.

But what about when a deliverable is going to be late and it will negatively impact a customer. What do you do then? Crunch hard to ship on time so the customer is impacted? Tell your customer the deliverable will be late so your employees can go home and spend time with their families? Try to split the difference down the middle and probably annoy everyone?

That's when values get interesting. When they stop being a list of nice things, and start being a framework for how you intend to behave in difficult circumstances.
> blatant anti competitive behavior

apple acting self-interested (which it’s entirely justified in doing, IMHO; this is the same company that almost had a tragic death in the 90’s) just opens up more competition IMHO. it’s too bad that true open-source phones are still crap, that android gave too much power to the cell network providers and became bloatware vehicles, and that microsoft completely abandoned its phone efforts even though its OS on there had a promising GUI.

Maybe what we’re seeing is more a symptom of that.

Also blue texts, because Google can’t get its head out of its ass long enough to actually summon and stick with a real iMessage competitor

For a legit investment broker, even with an Uber-like disregard for regulations, 10% is too good to be true. Either it is far less than 10%, normal returns minus what their greed demands, or they aren't legit.

Possibilities include a Ponzi scheme or the like (possibly on the VC funding side), brazenly lying or carefully almost-lying to customers, delusional leadership, investments in something illegal or ridiculously high risk. Most likely, they care for their stock and their exits rather than their customers.
Being able to distinguish new replies from existing replies in a comment thread is something that would be useful. On Reddit, you can get that if you're a moderator or have a gold subscription.

News and email clients would highlight new messages you just downloaded. What would be nice is if Hackernews would do something similar. For example, using the e tag header to decide which comments are rendered differently so that it's easy to see that they're new comments since the page was last viewed.

Been house hunting as well. You know what I've seen more than ever? Seller's agents behaving as jerks. Things we experienced going to open houses:

- Agent sizes us up (I dress down on purpose), says something to the effect of "You know this house will probably sell for even more than (already high) asking".

- Agent just sits around playing with her phone. No shits given.

- Agent sizes us up, realizes we're just window shopping/taking our time, "mansplains" to us "you know how this works, right? 24 hours from now there will be multiple offers and it will be gone"

The other unfortunate thing right now is that loan rates are (finally) spiking. Like > 4% for 30 year fixed. I wish we bought before the winter... And even worse if this keeps up the housing prices will crash just when we bought high. Oh well.

I'll try the On-demand ISR right away, almost waited one year. I have just updated my Next.js to version 12.1: https://github.com/ixartz/Next-js-Boilerplate

Right, it unifies /dev/urandom, /dev/random, and getrandom(flags=0) to all do exactly the same thing.

Most modern userspaces already use getrandom(flags=0). Nothing changes for them. They already count on the rng being seeded in one way or another.

Rather, this changes /dev/urandom, which previously would give insecure randomness before being seeded. With this change, this doesn't happen any more, because it makes /dev/urandom wait until it has been seeded.

In practice, the RNG get seeded by a large variety of things. As a last ditch effort, the Linus Jitter Dance will seed it.

Taken together, what all the above amounts to is that the regression potential is limited to systems where: (A) /dev/urandom is still being used, rather than getrandom(flags=0), (B) the boot sequence, due to some bug, hard-depends on unseeded reads from /dev/urandom, (C) no ordinary sources of entropy, such as interrupts and input devices and disk drives, are available, (D) the CPU is so ancient as to be missing a cycle counter, defeating the last ditch Linus Jitter Dance, and (E) a new kernel will be installed on this old system.

I argue that the set of machines where (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) all hold is minuscule.
I haven't seen that anywhere I have worked. Normally this is a form of double speak. Developers claim to "focus on the product" but typically the only focus is upon the developers' core strengths first and only then fit the product into the pieces left over.

You can tell difference between focus on the product and focus on yourself with metrics and how readily people are eager to ignore numbers using excuses from poorly formed reasoning reflective of a more honest intent.

I "think" you both are missing the point of HN ;

HN, to me (and I am long in the tooth on this site), is about that which is fascinating to the mind, with a culture of good, meaningful content which is relevant to said minds...

Politics permeate our lives - and especially moreso now. (FB was never a thought re politics when it was born, but it has so much mindshare now that its inexcusable to not think of FB as a political force (even though its literally a revolving door with government security apparatai)

Also, @Dang is a fucking bad-ass... He is probably the best mod I have ever encountered...

He has on multiple occasions put me in my place, gently, as I tend to post heavy handed comments when drunk and we have gone at it and agreed about when we both posted drunken rage comments...

Yet @Dang ALWAYS replies to my emails and helps me when I ask for it...

I've been on HN/YC for a long time -- @Dang has never failed being just an awesome mod of this forum.

The culture of HN posting is golden, thus far, and this forum is something to be protected. @Dang needs a mod protege to take the reigns when he decides to go live his fuck-you money on an island.
This is a bit problematic. In the text of the article it says:

> Real estate investors can be large corporations, local companies or wealthy individuals, and they generally don’t live in the properties they are buying. Some look to flip homes to new buyers, while others rent them out.

The methodology described above does not catch individuals buying houses to rent out.

I actually like the methodology, because I think residential housing capture by corporations is an important (and negative) feature. But the article text makes it sound as if they are also describing people choosing to buy a single rental property, and I suspect that even though this may have negative effects on the housing market, it should likely be considered differently from the purchases made by entities caught by Redfin's methodology as described.
Those are the right arguments if you want to defend the "market ideology". But "market ideology" is not the law of the land there. Tough luck.
