I look back at the newspaper stories I wrote a few decades back. I could get the score from the coach, find out hits from who and when, and after that 20 second interaction, I could write a news story in maybe three minutes, which told you everything you needed to know.
Even before crypto "if you're good you're good". People have always gotten away with these things. It's just usually because they either didn't make a mistake (very rare) or the authorities didn't care enough (very common).
What's with the "star and watch" animated GIF in the README? Should I start putting one in all my repositories? Should everyone be doing that as well?
More power (and funding) should go to libraries. In the US case, the Library of Congress and perhaps NARA are natural places for expanded tech infrastructure and projects.

> I really don't think it's crazy to think a person could spend $200/mo+ on recurring subscriptions.

It's not, looking at my budget I'm at about $400/mo. This includes monthly subscriptions and yearly (I set aside 1/12th every month).

A few of my monthly: YouTube, Spotify, Github, Netflix, Apple/Google storage, Dropbox, VPN, DO/Hetzner/AWS hosting, Backblaze, Zoom, Apple Care, handful of Patreons

A few of my yearly/quarterly: Game Pass, Audible, Day One, Font Awesome, YNAB, IDEA, Apple Dev, Ring, Drafts, 1Password

Shoutout to YNAB (https://www.youneedabudget.com/), it's a great tool for being able to easily track/manage your subscriptions (It's a budgeting tool). When I first set it up I was able to purge a number of things I had forgotten about that I was paying for.
The total fog of war surrounding product reviews is a big reason I enjoy shopping for older, used things online. Nobody is being paid now to shill for 10 year old Dell servers, or a 40 year old analog oscilloscope, or the quality of 1997 made-in-Japan Stratocasters. There are some YouTubers or subreddits who I think I can trust, but the incentive is there for dishonesty.
> Most peoples' conclusions are based on some kind of logical deduction. Where people differ is the fundamental "beliefs" which are treated axiomatically (taken on faith) on which the logical superstructure is built.

This doesn’t align very well with my observations. I can’t read minds so I don’t truly know anyone else’s beliefs. However, to the extent that I can infer possible beliefs from behavior, deductive or any other form of dialectic reasoning doesn’t appear to play much of a role. Social proof and other such phenomena appear to dominate belief formation.

I’ve found that an honest and rigorous examination of one’s own beliefs reveals that they are predominantly held for emotional reasons. Often it’s as simple as avoiding the emotional discomfort of being shunned for deviating from whatever your group’s particular dogma is.
unfortunately Reddit is dying alongside Google Search. of course by all means I don't mean economically. but quality-wise - yes, especially since it was acquired.
Unitastic!
One has nothing to do with the other. I would like a nice inbox for my Gmail, despite not caring about being spied on and my info being sold. I'm not alone, judging by the amount of folks that wax nostalgic about Google's Inbox.
You can just say the Philippines, not sure why you are obscuring the country name.
In theory it is time consuming and expensive and full of legal issues if you try to operate a LLC with 200 owners with 20 different roles and rights between those 200 owners.

In theory if those roles and rights and shares of ownership were enforced as code and owned as private keys, the LLC would be much easier and cheaper to operate. And any anyone could buy in using crypto.

While it is true that today's best practices of corporate governance and regulations around corporate governance could be improved, It isn't clear why a Corporate Governance SaaS application would be unable to make those improvements unless the goal of your improvements is to circumvent laws and regulations.
Oh my god it isn’t ironic. These people read it and thought it was just tech and bro in the cool sense.

Gather round children and let me tell you a tale about a time before it was broadly trendy and profitable to do technical work, when bros sold mortgages and stayed in sales, and we were all geeks and nerds (whether we identified as that or not).
IBM once refused to invest in transistor based computer R&D so the government did and gave the results to IBM to profit off of.

Public dollars bootstrapped the rocket program SpaceX was able to bootstrap itself from.

The whole ownership thing is a semantic slight of hand. One planet, one environment; we’re all paying the bill in real terms. If we’d been told all our lives it was prudent for government to do these things rather private profiteers, that’s how it would be.

Thank you for politicizing it correctly for us, though. We’d all be lost without you.
> Going by the accepted definition what you pointed me to

The article you were pointed to contained far more information than that.

Choosing to treat that one sentence as a strict definition doesn't really hold up.

Your last sentence sound like a personal attack, which makes me think you aren't arguing in good faith.
It's always a little frustrating to me to see this framed as some very recent thing to do with Twitter or whatever.

People have always folded beliefs into their identities and felt embarrassed or defensive when they are challenged. Most high-profile since forever is religion.

Which brings me to another frustration, when it's presumed that there is something wrong with beliefs being involved with identity. I'm not even sure what capital-I Identity is supposed to be if not a system of beliefs about yourself and the world and how they relate.

I don't think any of this is as new as it is often assumed to be. There appears to have been a rise in "identity politics" but even this is wrong; politics has always been about identity, it's just that nationalism or socialism or other principles can be part of someone's identity. Or in other words, they are beliefs.

So maybe we are more individualistic in our politics, and maybe that is bad. Or maybe it isn't... It's probably a mixed bag!
No thank you.. all these apps either want gmail way too many gmail permissions, and/or are hosted.

I know the other solution is (currently) IMAP, but that's just fine.. You could use the messageids to create the extra functionality. Some solutions use IMAP folders, which is a pain in the ass. Also... I'm trying to get rid of gmail lol

Congrats on launching though, but it's not for me.
Nope, critical is attached to infrastructure there, not to workers.
> You have to code as if someone you don't want will be reading it.

This reminded me of "Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live."
Julia's package management was inspired by Cargo, afaik. What did you find off-putting about it, what would make it more Cargo-like? I've heard from people who are not used to the REPL wanting to do things from the shell directly, if that's the problem, there's the jlpkg tool [1].

Not ironic at all. It's a fact that banks have great physical security, no reason to not take advantage of that. If you have a cryptocurrency paper wallet in the bank, they don't know about it, it's not on their books, they can't lend it out without your knowledge and inflate the economy with it.
This isn't that; discussion and debate is promoted here. What's not is exactly what you've just demonstrated - vitriolic language that only serves to provoke hostility and muddy the waters of real conversation.

You could have gotten across the same message by saying something like "Sure, being rude is bad, but you shouldn't let politeness descend into agreeableness to the point where people are shying away from real conversations in order to avoid upsetting people". Same message, much better tone.
India is a young country with a 1.4B population, with a lot of engineers. I know the quality can vary from gemstones to tombstones but there is an active tech community.

Sleep properly.

Be consistent when studying.

Actually learn what is being taught (instead of copying people's homeworks.

Grow your network.

Don't try to compete with the other students. University is not a competition. It is much much better if everybody just help each other. I landed my dream job because someone from the University liked me.
So true.

The GTD methedology can work well to park ideas in a Someday/maybe pile.

There are plenty of to-do/task managers which can accept tasks via email, and having a sudden idea can be as easy as sending that email address a quick note.
Opportunity costs get higher as your compensation goes up. Usually you don't start a company yourself, so you also need to consider your immediate network's increasing opportunity costs.
I think these criticisms aren't just relevant to HN, they apply to all social media and online conversation. Even (group) email can become quite toxic if people don't convey their emotion well.

I have been on HN for 15 years, I have spent far too much time on this site. Eventually you learn which topics will be "toxic" and avoid them (if you want to). To some extent it just maturity (or lack there of) but I actually think HN is far less toxic outside of some specific topics than other sites.

The topics that are liable to become flame wars change over time, currently it seems to be anything "Crypto" or "Online Advertising" as people have very strong feelings on both sides. I'm certainly still guilty of getting drawn in at times, especially when I feel I have a horse in the race. There is always insightful comments in these threads too.

Fortunately HN is designed to detect topics that are getting out of hand (far more comments than up votes) and they drop of the homepage quickly massively reducing the exposure. Exactly where this thread is already going.

I think the best decision HN made was not breaking the site into categories or "Sub-HNs" where specific toxic topics can grow and mutate, everything is forced though the front page ensuring a level of self moderation.

After 15 years on the site I have no intention of leaving it.
>0 is closer to Sivally than Arceus.

Well, that makes sense with the lore
I've been asking this question for the last 5 years every time someone pitches "blockchain for X". I have yet to see a satisfactory answer other than handwavy appeals like "but it's immutable".

This inability of advocates to clearly and concisely explain the pros and cons of their own technology is what constantly sets off my bullshit detector when people talk about blockchain.
Trudeau is rapidly wrapping himself in the banana republic dictator dilemma where one cannot give up power because your actions have made your post-power life untenable. Trudeau obviously doesn't have to fear that the opposition is going to murder him after leaving office but his path upwards or even sideways have all been blocked by his actions. He is now radioactive. No international NGO is going to hire him as their leader. The UN isn't going to come calling for the Canadian wonderboy to head up an important global initiative. Maybe a thinktank somewhere will give him something to do once out of office but overall, he has made himself irrelevant once he leaves the PM's post. For a person like him, that's ego death and something he will do nearly anything to avoid.
I think SEO was the big mistake. As soon people understand what makes a result show up first in the search it became a almost meaningless metric. There should really only be one metric that counts. Relevency.
Eh, if that's the case, I'm cool to be one of the few remaining humans among billions of wonderful whoever-they-are.

Beings so acceptive of others as to make me oblivious there's a difference? That's far more than humans ever accomplished.
That's what happens in Europe.

What happens in Canada is the one party rules however they want. On key budget bills and on special days the remaining parties can force a confidence vote. The government either issues threats that they will call an election and it will be some other parties fault or bribes another party.

In the background little parties are broke and need years to get enough cash to fight the an election.
Yeah, the last mature adult brain functions that deal with like, higher level moral reasoning and stuff, don't come fully online until age 25 or so.

Your early 20s are still late puberty. And even as an adult, you've still so much to learn.

But I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and say that he was calling himself a techbro at least semi-ironically. Of course in five or ten years' time, that too may become unacceptable, like ironically calling yourself a racist.
Remember the time when the ACLU fought for the right of American Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois?

The leader of the ACLU at that time was a Jewish guy. He didn't like the American Nazis, but he recognized that the bureaucratic machinery used to prevent them from assembling was almost entirely identical to the bureaucratic machinery used against the civil rights movement in the South.

Unless they're targetting local communities with some sort of culturally relevant format, its good for their bottom line to target the most profitable customers of advertising anyways.
The original threads on the Boeing 737-MAX safety incident had plenty of toxicity. Many people here were outright angry that such a massive screwup could be allowed to happen, and made sure to let everyone else here know about it, in the strongest possible terms. Arguably, that "toxic" anger helped save lives by making it apparent to outside observers just how serious the problem was.

Do you believe forcing women to wear burkhas is tyrannical?

The forcing of wearing masks is a tyrannical action, whether it's for a 'good cause' or not.

Some people view the ends do not justify tyrannical means.
My firm belief is that what is missing are the librarians. Google used to rely on web archives and inter linkages between sites, but bad actors from blogspam to quora have gamed this system in every possible aspect. There are probably just too few reliable sites compared to the global mass proliferation of unreliable sites.

Google will need to start taking tough, manual decisions on which sites to depritoritise in both what is shown and in what is considered in its algorithms in order to fix its search. And this is not a task you can outsource to whoever is the currently poorest native speaker is.
>To any neutral observer they are overwhelmingly peaceful and represent normal working class people.

This isn't a neutral observation. "overwhelmingly peaceful and represent normal working class people" exposes a politically-motivated bias.
You can also get that integrated into a bunch of Garmin's watches like the Vivoactive and Fenix lines. Not the cheapest stuff but it's also a heart rate monitor, GPS, etc.
> It takes a bit time to get into because it merges the concept of packages and environments.

Could you explain what you mean here? The point of environments is to manage packages and dependencies, so by definition they're going to be closely coupled. It seems something about it seemed unintuitive to you though, so I'd like to understand what it was.
This is anecdotal, I have family in Mexico City and many of their friends have been kidnapped. I'm not sure about foreigners specifically.

"want"?
I also find these articles odd because of the tension between what I assume are the liberal values of the authors and the nature of the moves. Cheap and luxurious expat living is bankrolled by the relative poverty of the native people. Yeah, having a bunch of servants has it’s charms. When I was a kid in Bangladesh my dad worked for a Planned Parenthood affiliate. We had a cook, a nanny, a maid, and a driver on what was maybe the equivalent of a $65,000 salary today. But that’s possible because people are poor. My dad has this story where he sent our cook’s teenage son with some money to get some cigarettes. And he couldn’t bring himself to buy them because a pack cost as much as what he was paid in a week. In my mind people who want to live that kind of lifestyle are kind of morally defective.
Our Open-Source Journey
This article is premised on one concept of the user (as a peer).

It turns out, most people lack the knowledge, skill, or desire to be peers. They are far, far more comfortable as consumers.

Take the author's thought experiment for example: "You could buy a Raspberry Pi Zero today for less than 10€, connect it to the Internet, set up a chat server on it, give it a public address and the world would be able to connect to it and talk to one other." Ignoring for a second how hard it is to get an honest-to-God static IPv4 address... How many people actually want to do this? Set up their own chat software, buy their own RP0, maintain it? Play the game of cat-and-mouse with an entire Internet's worth of bad actors trying to break your server? "No thanks," say most actual users.

So the trend is towards consolidation under the flow of people offering doing the boring stuff in exchange for something, and most people end up on Facebook (or Twitter, or Reddit, or Tumblr, etc., etc.). Because having to adhere to FB's rules about breasts is a lot simpler than dealing with hackers pwning your open chat server.

How do we get past this seemingly-inherent difficulty in the infrastructure itself and the persistent threat of attackers?
I don't think this analogy conveys anything particularly useful. The reasons most restaurants don't charge Michelin star prices are:

* Ingredient costs go up rapidly too.

* Because of that, the profit margins are narrow in the restaurant business at all restaurant price levels. There are rich restauranteurs here and there but owning a high end restaurant is still a very risky business venture and many are barely scraping by.

* You become talent bound. Finding chefs who can prepare food at that level is hard. Designing a good menu is very hard. Food is like any other creative art, you can't just arbitrarily decide to make amazing food—many try and fail.

* There is limited demand. Most people can't afford to eat high end food often and even those who can often don't want to go to the same restaurant over and over.

I don't see how any of this maps to the topic being discussed.
It either goes on forever or wraps around, or the entire question turns out to be nonsense for some weird reason. But there's definitely no edge where the stars just stop.
Haha, we actually took the idea from other projects. :P

What is the difference. What exactly does this do?
The higher temperature doesn't consume more energy theoretically as long as there is some way to use the heat of the produced iron and oxygen to help heat up the incoming iron oxide.

Not many heat exchangers can survive 1100 degrees C, but even a rudimentary 'fan blows air over the produced iron and then directs that through a ceramic pipe and through the incoming iron ore' heat recovery system should extract a large percentage of the thermal energy.
I'm not sure what more proof I can provide that the blockades and occupation are both an unpopular and illegal.

These responses are non-sequitors and proclaim with confidence what will happen in the future (as though we have a crystal ball). This seems like a good time to stop engaging.

Oh man I'm glad I'm not the only one who adds "Reddit" to every search. If I want info about computer parts, software, games, cooking, fitness, etc. Then I don't think there's anywhere better at the moment. At least there's nothing better that Google serves up.

I'm fed up of Google returning blog spam, ads, and shamelessly rehosted content. I want real information by real people, not automated blog posts with titles covering every common search term.
Personally I trust CR as they aren’t paid by ads but subscribers so it’s their benefit to be honest.
There's a subset of ideas and culture associated with "techbro" beyond just being interested in technology. Obnoxiously Libertarian, overly analytical (lack of holistic perspective), crypto pumping, sometimes pretty racist/sexist (though I would say that's a subset). It's a particular cultural strain of people interested in software, not all young men who code.

These people were "finance bros" working in hedge funds before the VC/startup industry took off, and crypto became the most popular way to scam people.

Edit: actually the "overly analytical" might fall more into the stemlord category, who routinely get mislabelled as techbros.
If you mean being charged more, then sure.

Apple will add one more exception for the narrow case in each country they lose, and when they lose again will add a new super narrow exception.

That is most likely not going to work for a long time, EU-wide legislation is being prepared that will (among other things) most likely open the door for alternative app stores:

>People use Google to search Reddit, not Reddit.

Because Reddit's native search is completely broken.

If I'm looking for something specific I've seen before I use redditsearch.io if I'm looking for a comment by a specific user I use redditcommentsearch.com if I'm looking for de novo results I use Google site search on Reddit.

That should be standard practice no matter where your code is, Github or not.
Web3 isn't bad.

But the Reddit founder is knee deep in NFTs which are basically as close to scam as possible. At least Amway tried to sell you tooth paste. The NFT grifters are selling you nothing.
