The one thing that people who understand bash have in the forefront of their minds is error handling.

You can be a wizard in bash if nothing ever goes wrong. Functions calling functions calling functions. It’s basically programming.

Until something goes wrong. Then there’s nothing you can do.

Anyone who has ever set-dash-ee’d and then seen a function execute without set-dash-ee when used in an if context knows what I mean.

Machine learning related, the transcription capability of Zoom (which uses some form of machine learning) was amazing me this morning. I was watching a recording of a zoom session that was a mock interview to help learning a new interview question. In this situation, there were two people sitting by each other in an echo-y conference room, being recorded by a zoom tablet thing microphone. They were talking to each other, both were french but speaking english and so had moderately heavy accents, both had masks on, and were talking about a coding problem. The accuracy of the transcription was blowing my mind. Really the only time it stumbled was for very technical terms.
I noticed this recently when trying to find primary sources for flat earth claims. They don’t exist on Google, for me at least. You can still find them on duck duck go if you search for something like “flat earth ice wall” but Google just returns generic debunk articles.
I had this exact conversation with someone yesterday, who wasn't aware of Google's "site:**" query functionality and expressed the same frustrations on not being able to find actually relevant content. It's simultaneously reassuring and disappointing that many others also rely on site-filtered Google to find information on the internet.

Site-filtered Google is basically the only way I search the web now. As many others have expressed on here, Google used to be such a good "gateway" to the informational web. Now the most relevant results are almost always auto-generated content.

I resort to searching specific sites like HN and Reddit as a safe place to get human content, but I feel this to be limiting in it's own way, almost like echo chambers. Are we past the Wild West days of the internet? It now feels like a dystopian reality where I'm constrained to certain pockets that seem relatively safe.

I believe Google used to allow a "discussions" filter on queries, which would limit your search to forums. I'm not sure why the functionality stopped being supported. The "Dead Internet Theory" is very real. Given the amount of bots and resulting distrust in information, there's an urgent need for some sort of conversational search.

A forum-only search filter is an easy place to start. This could also potentially be a good use case for some decentralized, blockchain-based trust network. If anyone knows of any ongoing projects in this arena, I'd be very interested in contributing.

Reddit's search engine is kind of crap (not terrible, but also not great). That's why I use Google for Reddit, to have a better Reddit search experience.

I figured that's why it's so high, is Reddit's UX keeps slowly getting worse so the best way to find stuff on Reddit is by searching outside of it.

I think the important part of this discussion is that the finality of payments sit outside of the mechanics of the financial system. For instance - when a wire transfer is "reversed" that is accomplished with another wire transfer (or some other series of administratively triggered actions). For both cryptocurrency and normal currency the system is a series of transactions that are treated as valid for a particular period of time. The decision to consider a transaction final or not exists outside of that accounting system.

The fatal flaw of crypto currencies (edit: in this regard!) is they have comparably high fees built into the mechanics of their accounting systems. What a bank can do for "free" (really just very low cost) in fiat would compete for scarce transaction slots in crypto.
Chromebooks often come with ~4GB and run pretty well. I think they are just relying on Linux having relatively broad hardware support along with proprietary drivers for the most common video chipsets. I doubt it will be exceptionally hard, given that Chrome OS tends to have relatively limited support for peripherals anyway. Its not like they have to support high performance 3d gaming.
Are you intending to say that there is a transitive property of rhyming? And that if that if A does not rhyme with B then there may not exist a word C that rhymes with both A and B?
If so, your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
The more people self isolate in information bubbles the worse for society. There’s already plenty of proxies for extremists to find like (religion, communities, etc). To continue this trend for the right across all internet properties will only further divide people.

Why does who you vote for have to run so much into every aspect of life beyond it? This is exactly the agenda of those who want political power — devote your life to the “cause” and shun out everyone who doesn’t. What better way to stay in power than have a rabid fan base that thinks about you daily?
I disagree on the former. Destroying the environment just to get a shitty, inefficient, non-competitive payment system because you don't like the U.S. Federal Reserve isn't a good trade.

I post some fairly provocative/unpopular rightwing opinions sometimes, they're often downvoted but usually not to the point of non-visibility. sometimes they rebound and get a good 8-10 points.

on reddit they'd be nuked within seconds by downvote brigaders or leftwing mods. HN is a much more open place, it's like night and day.
"Privilege" has negative connotations and people do not want to be labeled privileged for that reason.

There were times when people tried to hide being gay, having Jewish ancestors or being atheist not because they were out of touch with their own reality, but because they knew that telling the truth would make them socially dirtier. Aside from a few celebrities, "privilege" is looked down on in contemporary discourse.
Like every other part of the internet where I spent any time, HN became more touchy and crabby around the start of the pandemic. The pandemic is not yet resolved. I imagine it remains more touchy than "normal" as a consequence, given that normal is a moving target and you never step in the same river twice, so to speak.
If you are manipulating files and processes, bash is a very natural and succint language to do so. Programs are much more elegant than a generic programming language.

There's a well known effect in advertising that advertising a product to a person that has already bought that product generally increases their satisfaction with the product and the purchase, and may cause them to recommend the product to others.

Probably that's what they are going for if they're doing it on purpose.
I think the answer to whether or not HN is an echo chamber, as of this moment, is no. It seems like a weekly occurrence where two conflicting articles on the front page. Oftentimes one is a direct response. In this sense, one is exposed to a spectrum of ideas.

What I will say is that tribalism is still incredibly strong. The amount of times I've been drive-by downvoted always makes me chuckle. The other day I was downvoted for correcting myself that Ethereum is driving up GPU prices and not Bitcoin. Presumably the person didn't mind the Bitcoin negativity but did mind for Ethereum. I kind of wish a reply is necessitated in order to downvote sometimes.
Tl;dr: pseudo-intellectual analysis and hand-wavy psychobabble that tries to dismiss any concern about shoplifting. Somewhere between "don't believe your lying eyes" and "ok, believe them, but what you're seeing is nothing new, and of no real concern".
You can't downvote articles so the fact an article has a lot of upvotes can't really be used as an example of HN being an echo chamber. All the people who want to downvote it have no voice. Plus, an upvote isn't really a mark of agreeing with the article; some people upvote because the article is interesting and worth discussing.

Also, and maybe I'm playing to the echo chamber a bit here, it's possible that there are some subjects that HN readers are just mostly aligned on. That doesn't make the whole site an echo chamber. There are still plenty of things that HN can't agree on (JS SPAs is a good example - every thread gets split right down the middle).
The cause that raised 9 million dollars in a few days is a "a tiny minority of truckers [...] making a huge fuss over really very little"... because someone somewhere claims that they've seen a data dump of hacked donation data... and their "analysis" demonstrates that the movement has wide international support. Reddit logic at its finest.
This really depends on the type of programmer. A major cut is "packer" vs. "mapper". Often packers need more micromanagement and linear details of the plan; they can't "see the map" and run with that like a "mapper".
Back in the 1990's I was a volunteer firefighter. I had been working on getting my FF II certification for a while, and planned to pursue my Fire Instructor certification afterwards (FF II was a prerequisite to that). Anyway, the "Instructor Methodology" class and Fire Instructor test was something that wasn't offered very often, and quite often people had to drive a considerable distance to complete it.

As it happened, I was still something like two classes short of having finished my FF II cert, when an Instructor Methodology class showed up on the schedule at our local community college (the CC's were typically the "delivery agency" for fire service training in NC, at least in rural areas). So... I just signed up for it. Took it, finished it, took the Instructor test, and aced it.

And then the guy from the OSFM (Office of the State Fire Marshall) pulled me aside and said "Wait a minute, you just aced the Instructor test, but you're not even a FF II yet. We can't give you your Fire Instructor certification."

I forget the details of the ensuing conversation but it went roughly the way I had anticipated it might - they said they would just "hold" my Instructor certification until I finished my FF II. About two months later I finished the last class for FF II and a few months later I got a package from OSFM - with my FF II and Fire Instructor certificates. :-)

It was a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it saved me either having to wait as much as another year or two, OR drive halfway across the state, to get that Instructor class and test in.
The technology, the wind tunnels, the materials science. Much of it overlaps with military applications and the DoD works with NASA.

The original NASA was military only. Then an all civilian nasa was formed and the two quasi competed. There is a really good overview of this in Chuck Yaeger’s autobiography.
Yeah, what a community tolerates in such discussions reveals a lot about its values, and I don't like what I've seen from HN.

- Zuckerberg is worse than JS and FB will fail tomorrow <-> He's an evil genius, operating within the law and FB won't go anywhere

- Work at FAANG at all costs <-> fuck it

And every side has adequate supporters. Bitcoin, crypto, and IoT are the exception. Nobody seems to like that stuff here.

Could be worse.

> It is telling that the people who are weaponizing this concept of "misinformation" do not point it at all at Bigfoot researchers. What is more "misinformation" than the idea of giant apes running around the US forest? Of course, that doesn't count because there is no political gain to be had.

There's no political gain to be had on either side of the Bigfoot-in-the-forest argument, in fact. Or financial gain, or notoriety, or kudos. Which is why it's really not particularly telling.

It's just a fringe belief.

Misinformation matters when its intent is to undermine democracy or governance in the public good, undermine civic or civil society, create an "other" that can be attacked, create a pretext for war or social unrest or vigilantism etc.

I don't think people who believe in Bigfoot really fit the pattern. Nor do Flat-Earthers. Though this kind of belief is an indicator of the kind of credulity that led to the huge traction gained by the Comet Ping Pong Pizzagate story and the current omniconspiracy of antivax/QAnon/stolen election/5G/Great Reset/Schwab/Soros/Gates Foundation etc.
But why would I go onto Twitter and say that, unless I was a massive racist?

And why, as a doughty protector of free speech would I not be perfectly fine with anyone using their own right of freedom of speech to reply to me? Robustly.

You gave me one link - to Wikipedia, which you then seem to have an issue with the definition provided therein. And no examples. Still no examples.

Here's a link for you - about the most sensible thing I can find about woke from Oliver Dowden, Chairman of the UK Conservative party who has been talking to right wing "think tanks" (lobbying groups) in the US this week. Well, actually not him, but it might as well be. I particularly like the bit where he refuses to define what woke is - seems to be all the range. Enjoy:

That's pretty much exactly what we do, we get the cameras into sync using the network then fire a precisely synchronised (us accuracy in our case, so 1000 times worse than yours :) ) a 10 to 150us IR flash to capture the specific details we're after (in our case using retroreflective targets). Main claim to trickery for us is we're worked out a way to sync the Pi cameras in software (i.e. no additional hardware needed).

Very cool to get a reply from someone working in your area, I've followed AMANDA etc in Science and Nature for many years - thanks for the comment!

The annoying thing is that they can do this, but they won't offer some sort of extended support for old chromebooks. It seems like they could at least keep the user layer up to date and ship patches for critical vulnerabilities.
Doesn't Android-enabled Chrome OS require containers to run properly?

I seem to remember there being a pretty high bar (for Chromebooks anyway) of hardware requirements to be able to run android on Chrome OS machines. Even my shitty burner chromebook struggled to run the beta in dev mode.

Given that this is targeted at repurposing even older hardware, including Android would probably be creating performance issues.

I’d tend to say no with a caveat.

Points and counterpoints typically both appear in full opacity, meaning multiple viewpoints and perspectives are being upvoted (or at least not downvoted).

I also don’t see a lot of bandwagon comments, which is nice. On Reddit you’ll see one point of view and then an entire comment thread reinforcing, praising or doubling down on the original point. That feels more like an echo chamber.

That said, the HN demographics are probably majority 20-40yo US-based males interested in tech and startups. That in and of itself will create at least some echo chamber effect as we almost certainly don’t adequately represent the demographic of any state or country, or the world.

That said for a relatively homogeneous demographic compared to the world as a whole I think multiple viewpoints are encouraged and respected to a degree I don’t see on other public discussion boards.

There are two key differences:

- Supply of tokens is limited or otherwise is entirely predictable. In the cases where the supply is not limited, the rules for minting new coins are clear in the code and for the vast majority of cryptocurrencies, the inflation is a fixed number of tokens; meaning that the inflation expressed as a percentage drops over time so it has deflationary characteristics. If the annual inflation is 100K tokens per year, these 100k new tokens will represent a smaller percentage of the total supply as time goes by. This is very different from fiat currencies where inflation is expressed as a percentage. In fiat, 10% inflation this year represents A LOT MORE in dollar terms than 10% inflation represented 20 years ago.

- They do not rely on trusting a single government or entity. There are no single points of failure where somebody could steal funds or tamper with records.

Congrats on your perceived success! I tried to use softer words like "might," and I explicitly said "maybe this is just me," in order to not assume anything.

If this is the case, how was North Korea able to wire fraud $81 million USD from the Bank of Bangladesh [1] ?

Why was this wire transaction not reversed? Apparently, they were about to get away with $1 billion USD but the hacker entered the global SWIFT code incorrectly by 1 character and so it was caught.

The fact that North Korea made off with $81 million USD, however, is rather unsettling, and even more so the fact that this was not reversed / caught.

Yes, it's becoming an echo chamber, although not as bad as Reddit. However, I'm not sure if it's attributable to HN, broader tech attitudes, or coastal city demographics. I see politically charged opinions leaning Right, and opinions that lean left are more likely to get downvoted. For example, on comments related to H1-B, there's a tendency to see normative ("it should be this, it ought to be that") focused opinions. On the other hand, you'll see comments that state H1-B reduces wages for everyone get downvoted to oblivion, followed up with comments stating that the system is just & fair for all parties involved.

I replied to your duplicate post separately, but it is worth noting that even if you install an alternative browsing App and use it, the iOS system search (swipe down from the top to access the search bar) is still using Google and Safari.
